THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 
WHAT ENGLAND CAN TEACH US 
The Garden Magazine-Farming has done its 
best to expand the interest in gardening, and 
with its older sister Country Lije in America has 
added, we believe, many recruits to that gentle 
art. Mr. Wilhelm Miller, who has been connected 
with both these magazines from the first, has 
just taken ship to England, which is the home 
of large and small gardens, and the place where 
everybody hasa garden. He will spenda month 
or two in studying the most interesting phases 
of English gardening as they may be adapted 
to our American purposes. He will cover 
with the photographer the most interesting 
sides of this subject, not especially the show 
places of England, but the garden homes of 
the masters of their craft. Further particulars 
will be given later. 
THE POCKET KIPLING 
There has been a persistent demand for an 
edition of Mr. Kipling’s works that could be 
conveniently carried about. We have begun 
the issue of a set of these books in red flexible 
leather — books that can be conveniently 
slipped into the pocket. ‘“ Kim,” “The Day’s 
Work,” and “Plain Tales from the Hills” are 
now ready, and are available for those who 
like to take old book friends with them. The 
new volumes to be added to the pocket edition 
during the next few months are as follows: 
Jury. Departmental Ditties and Barrack Room 
Ballads. 
The Light that Failed. 
Life’s Handicap. Being Stories of Mine 
Own People. 
Oct. Many Inventions. 
Nov. The Seven Seas. 
The price per volume is $1.57 postpaid. 
THE LARGE PRINT LIBRARY 
The idea of the Large Print Library is at 
last making itself known. 
Besides the praise of the oculists who always 
welcomed it the following extract from a report 
of the Book-Buying Committee of the American 
Library Association shows that the librarians 
see the usefulness of the plan. 
“Tove Me Little, Love Me Long — Charles Reade. 
The publishers advertise the features of this library, 
of which the book above-named is the first volume 
as follows: Readable Scotch-face type, high-grade 
paper and dignified buckram. Library binding 
(with stamped label that won’t come off, silk head 
band, muslin casing, and extra sewing on tapes sug-

“To business that we love we rise betime 
And go to’t with delight.”"—Aztony and Cleopatra 
gested by the American Library Association Com- 
mittee on Book Binding). The book justifies these 
praises, and is an edition warmly to be recommended 
for purchase by all libraries. The binding is especially 
strong, and the typography is excellent. There is a 
good biographical introduction and an adequate 
bibliography of the author.” 
The price of the volume is $1.50 postpaid. 
RUSSIA’S MESSAGE 
Perhaps no other non-Russian is_ better 
equipped to handle the subject of the spirit 
and controlling ideas of the Russian revolution 
than Mr. William E. Walling, who is the 
author of “ Russia’s Message.” Mr. Walling 
has spent the last three years either in Russia, 
or among Russian exiles, and has been in close 
contact with all the elements of the struggle — 
the highest personages of the court, the nobility, 
the leaders of the revolutionary parties, the 
workingmen and the peasants, and he has 
written a complete study of the whole situation. 
His book is now ready. $3.25 postpaid. 
COMMISSIONS TO OUR REPRESENTATIVES 
We have worked out a plan to pay commis- 
sions and salary to our representatives, and we 
would be very happy indeed to send details to 
those interested. College students will prob- 
ably find this arrangement exceptionally ad- 
vantageous, and those of our readers who know 
of energetic and ambitious young people would 
help them and us by sending their names to 
our Circulation Department. 
Our plan of offering form letters to such of 
our subscribers as wish to make pocket money 
by securing new subscribers to our various 
magazines has been successful in many instances, 
and we will be glad indeed to hear from others 
who wish to try the same idea. This is the 
season to get subscribers for The Garden 
Magazine-Farming and Country Lije in 
America. 
BOXES FOR COLLECTORS 
We have some mahogany boxes for collections 
of various kinds, photographs, butterflies, 
shells, etc., and we had too many of them 
manufactured for us. They are of solid ma- 
hogany, and made with great care and exquisite 
workmanship. To sell out what remains of 
the stock, we offer them at half of what they 
cost. ‘They will be carefully packed in a pine 
outside covering, but at this price, we must 
ask the customer to pay the express charges,

THE EVERY 
CHILD SHOULD KNOW LIBRARY 
For several years we have been preparing 
a library of books on subjects that every child 
should know, and we think we have developed 
a set of books that should prove to be the most 
popular that have been ever issued for young 
people. We have now prepared the volumes 
in uniform cloth binding, with reinforced back, 
to make them strong and durable. The set is 
just the thing for a gift to form a nucleus of a 
good library. Here isa list of the titles: 
Legends Every Child Should Know. 
Myths Every Child Should Know. 
Fairy Tales Every Child Should Know. 
Stories Every Child Should Know. 
Water Wonders Every Child Should Know. 
Birds Every Child Should Know. 
Songs Every Child Should Know. 
Hymns Every Child Should Know. 
Poems Every Child Should Know. 
Heroes Every Child Should Know. 
We rely entirely upon the merits of these 
books, and will gladly send them for inspection 
to anyone who may be interested, and would 
like to see the books before purchasing.
