Best Gardening Books for | 
Miss Shelton’s ‘‘The Seasons in a Flower | 
Garden” is the best dollar beok on the home 
flower garden over published. Surely this 
is the briefest book ever written by a woman. 
It boils over with little planting tables, useful | 
lists, calendars, statistical matter, 
recipes and directions. 
Fletcher’s ‘‘ How to Make a Fruit Garden” 
is certainly the most beautiful, photographi- 
cally illustrated fruit book yet published, and 
rules, | 
the only one that is aimed simply and solely © 
at the American amateur. 
relief to have a book that actually assumes 
that you have a home, and are not growing 
fruit for a living. It makes a big practical 
difference, too. 
Waugh’s “Dwarf Fruit Trees” is a 
good little fifty-center on a subject of increas- 
ingimportance. It hardly has the ‘‘ gift qual- 
ity,” but it’s worth having. 
These are small things, however, com- 
pared with what we ought to give our garden- 
loving friends. It has been a good year, and 
we ought to give something inspiring, even 
if we only give a letter next year. J want to 
tell you about some books whose pages I 
love to turn over with my gardening friends. 
The most beautiful colored plates of gar- 
dens ever published are the fifty by Elgocd, 
in ‘“‘Some English Gardens.” One can sit 
and dream over that book by the hour, and 
plan gardens by the dozen. The color 
combinations are a perennial joy. And for 
a wonder, the text is not a rambling lot of 
mush by a hack writer. Everything Miss 
Jekyll writes is worth reading, and beauti- 
jully illustrated. (Witness her books eon 
Roses, Lilies, and Wall and Water Gardens.) 
The second place in my heart is occupied 
by ‘‘ Garden Colour,” apparently by fourteen 
different authors, but really Mrs. Water- 
field’s own book. Her colored plates are a 
trifle impressionistic, but you may always 
recognize the flowers, and the garden effects 
she pictures are thrillingly new and _ beauti- 
ful. Her notes, too, are suggestive—nothing 
pretentious, but full of good, novel ideas. 
Another book for your garden-planning 
friend is ‘‘American Gardens,” by Guy 
Lowell, which contains more photographic 
illustrations of good American gardens than 
any other book. There are diagrams of 
many of the gardens, also. The text is not 
wildly exciting.
