THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



'■* THE world's work DECENNIAL 



This month the Garden Magazine's 

 older brother The World's Work is celebrating 

 its tenth birthday in a number to be called 

 "The Most Wonderful Ten Years." The 

 magazine was started at the end of 1900, and 

 its life has covered, in the opinion of its editors, 

 the most interesting period this country has 

 ever seen. 



We might, perhaps, properly include in The 

 Garden Magazine some notes about the great 



increase in the 

 interest shown 

 for the garden 

 and for the 

 problem of 

 country living. 

 The man who 

 builds now- 

 adays thinks (at 

 least, the pre- 

 sent readers do) 

 first of his gar- 

 den possibilities 

 when he plans 

 his house, and 

 the sale of horti- 

 cultural pro- 

 ducts, trees, 

 ]j 1 a n t s and 

 shrubs has more 

 than doubled in 

 ten years, for 

 all of which we, 

 who are pushing 

 the plan of 

 country living, 

 are deeply grate- 

 ful. The affairs 

 o f Doubleday, 

 P a g e & Com- 



A Window in liie Library 

 at Garden City 



pany have 

 grown with the rest of the world, ard three 

 forced moves, each time into much larger 

 quarters, have closely succeeded each other. 



The business of Doubleday, Page & Company 

 started in the third floor of 34 Union Square, 

 New York, in 1900. 



In 1905 we moved to our building at 133- 

 137 East i6th Street, and outgrew it. 



"To business that we love we rise betime 

 And go to 't with delight." — Antony and Ckof^atra 



In 19 ID we completed our press and general 

 offices at Garden City, Long Island, where 

 we actually manufactured for the first time all 

 of our own magazines and books. A few 

 pictures of our new quarters are given.

the CHARLES K. REED NATURE BOOKS 



A pupil in an Upper New Jersey normal 

 school wrote about "The Tree Book," by Julia 

 Rogers, in a composition, the following: 



"This book had, besides descriptions, plates. 

 If you didn't know anything whatever about 

 a tree, you could find out everything." 



This is so emphatically true about the series 

 of nature books made by Mr. Charles K. Reed, 

 all of which we now publish, that we mention 

 with particular emphasis the whole list of 

 these especially worthy books, each one fully 

 illustrated in color, so small in bulk that they 

 slip into the pocket:
