Buying plants and letting them die for lack 



of proper soil is a waste of time and money. 



After years of study and experiment a promi-

Successful Fruit Culture. By Samuel T. May- 

 nard. Orange Judd Company, New York, 1905. 4^4 x 7 H 

 inches; 274 pages. Price, Si. 



Far inferior to Bailey's "Principles of Fruit 

 Growing." Gruesome old pictures. A poor 

 job of book-making.

H. Rider Haggard. 



;w York, 1905. 5^3X8/4 



Notes on gardening month by month, writ- 

 ten by an English amateur of considerable 

 skill. Books of this type are not to be recom- 

 mended to the American beginner, but they 

 have a suggestive value to owners of country 

 places who take a personal interest in every 

 detail of fruit, vegetable, flower and green- 

 house gardening. 



The Country Home. By E. P. Powell. Mc- 

 Clure, Phillips & Co., 1904. 5^ixS inches. 381 pages; 

 about two dozen full-page photographic illustrations. Price, 

 Si. 50, net. 



A singular combination of philosophy, senti- 

 ment, and practical directions — not a very 

 good blend. A suggestive book for anyone 

 who wants to live "on" the farm, not "off" 

 it. It has seventeen chapters devoted to 

 selecting a home, house-building, water sup- 

 ply, lawns and shrubberies, wind-breaks and 

 hedges, fruit trees, berries, grapes, flow'ers, 

 vegetable gardening, insects, animals, etc. 

 Too many subjects are treated and therefore 

 most of them are not developed sufficiently 

 to be of real help to the beginner, e. g., the 

 author recommends too many kinds of plants 

 for wind-breaks and hedges without telling 

 (he good and bad points of the different kinds. 

 The lack of an index is a grave fault in a 

 book that aims to be primarily practical. 

 Many of the scientific names of plants and 

 horticultural varieties are misspelled, (e. g. 

 Sluartia pentagynia (sic), Rosa Wichuriana, 

 Louis Van Houte, Paul Neron, Antoine 

 Revoke, Krumquat orange, Gladiolus San- 

 dersonii), and there is no good authority for 

 not capitalizing a generic name when used 

 in combination with the specific, e. g. primus 

 triloba. The pictures are only decorative; 

 they do not illustrate specific practical points, 

 nor are they always sufficiently beautiful to be 

 inspiring. The present volume is the first 

 of a series called "The Country Home 

 Library" on the title-page and "The Country 

 Home Series" on the cover. The author 

 is evidently a man of much experience in 

 country living and many of his suggestions 

 are original and worth trying, e. g. planting 

 tulips in the strawberry bed where neither 

 interferes with the other and both can be 

 removed every three years. The author says 

 it is an excellent way to have tulips by the 

 armful and that the bulbs will multiply 

 rapidly in such a place. 



Directory of Landscape Architects 



Landscape Designs and Plans 



For Country Seats, Villa 

 Sites, Gardens, Parks, Etc. 



A SMALL place can be 

 made as beautiful as 

 a large estate if proper 

 judgment is used in lay- 

 ing it out. A definite plan 

 must be followed in the 

 planting of trees and 

 shrubbery and the laying 

 out of the walks, flower- 

 beds, etc. The cost is 

 small in comparison with 

 the beauty obtained. 

 Why not let me make you 

 a plan now? Your 

 grounds will be perma- 

 nently beautiful from 

 § year to year, in winter as 

 g Kvell as in summer.
