\ DISTINCTLY successful garden, such as you admire and hope for this year, comes always as the result of careful

which contains 144 pages with handsome art cover, and is profusely illustrated from photographs of actual 



specimens. It lists practically everything required for tKe American Garden. 



" Boddington's Garden Guide " also contains complete and accurate descriptions, supplemented in 

 many instances with full cultural directions by well-known authorities. These special features make 

 " Boddington's Garden Guide " of permanent value as a text book as well as a catalogue.
