December, 1905 



THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



205 



Outdoor Life 



Mr. A. Radclyffe Dugmore made a trip for us to the Pacific Coast and to the Northwest last summer, 

 and secured material for a number of wonderful articles on different sorts of fishing. It is not too much 

 to say that Mr. Dugmore's photographs have revolutionized the illustrations of sport— they give one the 

 actual thrill of the sportsman at the most exciting moment. Among these articles are: 



After the Vanishing Grayling 



Fishing for Yellowtail at Santa Catalina 



The Unique Golden Trout 

 Fishing for Rainbow Trout 



The February issue will contain some more leaping tarpon photographs by Julian Dimock, even more startling than those of a year ago, 

 and Mr. Dimock tells how he got these results. He will also contribute an article on the almost unknown pleasure of salt-water fly fishing. 



Mr. Herbert K. Job has been out among the great sloughs of North Dakota, where the wild ducks breed. We shall publish an article 

 by him showing wild mallards, canvasbacks, ruddy ducks and many other species flushing from their nests ; great ricks of males getting up 

 from the edge of the marsh ; nests and eggs ; and amusing ducklings. 



The Planter's Guide 



The article in the December issue on "Planting for Winter Comfort and Beauty" is the first of a 

 practical series which will tell readers just what tree, shrub or flower is best for every special place and 

 purpose. The dominant idea is the needs of the planter— not the dry botanical classification, but the living, 

 urgent, horticultural problems. 



THIS IS THE KIND OF THING EVERYONE REALLY WANTS TO KNOW: 



The Largest-flowered Trees 



The Best Hedge-Plant for Each of Twenty Purposes 

 Shrubs That Are Attractive Both in Fruit and Flower 

 The Best Salad Plants 



How to Have Flowers After Frost 

 What to Plant at the Seaside 

 What Will Grow in Dense Shade 

 Trees with Brilliant Leaves and Berries 



We announce provisionally these subjects and dates :— Quality Fruits and Vegetables for the Home Garden, for March, 1906. The Best Ground 

 Covers, for June, 1906. Bulbs for Every Place and Purpose, for September, 1906. Berried Shrubs, for November, 1906. A Study of Autumn Reds, 



for December, 1906 (with eight pages in color), a classification based on the new color chart which really works, and full directions for preserving until Christmas 

 by a new, simple process huge branches of gorgeous autumn leaves. These articles mark a new era in gardening literature. 



Other Strong Features will be: 



Cheap Land for Successful Farming 



The Country Home Reminder 



Telling each month the necessary activities of the owner of a country 

 place. 



Special Double Numbers 



We shall publish as usual the superb special double numbers: March on 

 Gardening, October on Housebuilding and the Christmas Annual. 

 These have been notable factors in the magazine's success and have 

 helped to make it unique and unapproachable. 



Wild Foods 



A most interesting series of articles, by the foremost authority on the nuts, 

 berries, roots, leaves and fruits of every kind which nature provides month 

 by month for all who have knowledge of her secrets. 



A continuation of the extremely successful series of first-hand investiga- 

 tions, showing just where land can still be bought for $10.00 an acre and 

 how to make a living on it. 



Masterpieces of Nature Poetry 



The great nature poems of the English language, selected by Henry van 

 Dyke and charmingly illustrated by Henry Troth. 



Walter J. Travis on Golf 



Timely articles each month on Horses, Dogs, Cattle, 

 Poultry, Automobiles, and so on 



The Readers' Service 



And, finally, when any of our readers wishes exact information upon any 

 subject within the magazine's scope, a letter to the Readers' Service will 

 put the writer in communication with those who can best serve him.
