For the Amateur Gardener 



FOUR SEASONS 

 IN THE GARDEN 



By EBEN E. REXFORD 



A BOOK on gardening for the home-maker, by the 

 foremost amateur gardener of the United States. 

 It treats of all phases of the subject, from the 

 simple bed or two along the fence, in a city back yard, 

 to the most ambitious garden the happy suburbanite or 

 country dweller can manage without the services of a 

 professional. 



The growing of house plants, and the use of plants 

 for household and table decorations, are important 

 features of the book. Two chapters on Rural and 

 Village Improvement carry the home-gardening plan 

 into the larger field of community work. 



Sumptuously illustrated with 27 pictures 

 in tint, and frontispiece in colors. 12mo. 

 Decorated cloth, $1.50 net. Postpaid, $1.65
