The American 

 Flower Garden 



By Neltje Blanchan 



Author of "Bird Neighbors," "Birds That 

 Hunt and Are Hunted," etc. 



This sumptuous and valuable book, now issued in its per- 

 manent form, reveals those little subtleties which bring 

 delight to the home garden. The author has drawn from 

 a vast knowledge of beautiful foreign and American 

 gardens, and she points out the great principles of all 

 good gardening. The present book covers adequately 

 the needs of the amateur whose garden is either extensive 

 or the reverse; and every fact among the thousands is 

 made quickly available by a fourteen-page index. There 

 are four plates in full color, and eighty plates of suffi- 

 cient size adequately to treat the subjects presented.
