The Small Country Place 
By SAMUEL T. MAYNARD 
Author of ‘Landscape Gardening as 
Applied to Home Decoration,” etc. 
‘This book, which was written by a man who 
has spent more than thirty years teaching botany 
and horticulture, is thoroughly practical, and 
will be of great value to those who live upon 
small country places, especially those whose 
work in the city allows them but a few hours 
each day to spend about the home. 
The author discusses the growing of farm and 
garden crops, the care of the horse, the cow, 
and poultry, and similar subjects. 
The book is profusely illustrated, showing veg- 
etable and flower gardens, lawns, etc. 
75 illustrations from photographs, and numerous 
line drawings.

Four Seasons in the Garden 
By EBEN E. REXFORD 
Whether the amateur gardener has a little plot 
of ground beside the back fence in the city or 
owns a more pretentious garden in the suburbs, 
he will find something of particular interest to 
him in this book. 
It covers a wide range, from making a little 
window-box to the work of rural and village 
improvement societies, and is written not by a 
theoretical, but by a practical amateur gardener 
who knows whereof he speaks. 
Twenty-seven illustrations in tint, a frontispiece 
in colors, decorated title-page, half-titles and 
lining papers. 12 mo. 
Cloth, $1.50 net, postpaid

RARE OLD ETCHINGS 
The Graf Bruehl collection of over 20,000 Etchings, 
Engravings and Mezzo-T ints from the German, Italian, 
French, Flemish and English Masters has been pur- 
chased from the present heirs and brought to this coun- 
try. This is one of the most remarkable collections in 
existence, and represents the accumulation of over 150 
years. They are in all sizes and shapes but all mounted. 
Among them are about 100 etchings by Rembrandt, 
Durer, Chadowicki, Visscher, Goltzius, Beham and 
Le Bas, at $1.00 to $50 each, which represent only a 
fraction of their real value. Others as low as 25c. 
Upon request we will send 
ON APPROVAL

others. More specific information on request. Write

What This Moderate Priced 
Greenhouse Will Do For You 
In the spring, for instance, you can raise all sorts of bedding plants for 
setting out. Then there are the countless old-fashioned flowers, that by 
giving them a greenhouse start, will be in bloom outdoors in the early summer 
and no danger of Mr. J. Frost nipping them in the bud. 
Think of having cosmos the last of July, and hollyhocks in bloom 
the first season from greenhouse started plants. 
As for vegetables, you can have them all winter and then get six 
weeks’ start outdoors with plants raised from seeds planted along in February 
and March. 
‘Tomatoes and melons are easily grown and can be ripe enough to pick 
from Thanksgiving Day on. 
What could be more delightful than cutting an armful of roses from 
your glass enclosed garden on Christmas ? 
A house like this one shown, 25 feet long and 10 feet wide, can be 
attached directly to your house, and the boiler located in the cellar. With our 
special greenhouse boiler, the heating is very simple and requires surprisingly 
little attention. 
The entire superstructure of this house, including the ventilating ap- 
paratus, is surprisingly reasonable in price. It is thoroughly described, and 
prices given in an attractive circular received from the printer only a week or 
so ago. - Send for it.
