THE VALUE OF BOUND VOLUMES 



It is a curious thing that a bound volume of 

 this magazine should become desirable and 

 popular apparently in exact proportion as it 

 becomes scarcer. 



We have printed in this space for many 

 months statements about the bound volumes of 

 The Garden Magazine and urging readers to 

 bind their numbers because at small expense 

 a real encyclopedia of garden information can 





=M*< 



be placed in your library, and we are able to 

 urge this with a good conscience as we are glad 

 to supply bound volumes, cases for binding, or 

 bind the reader's own numbers at practically 

 cost — it is not a matter of profit. Yet con- 

 stantly we find that the demand comes so late 

 that we are not able to supply it. 



Here is a statement of what stock we have 

 of The Garden Magazine in the shape of bound 

 volumes:

AT GARDEN CITY, LONG ISLAND 



As these notes are written nearly a month 

 before they are finally printed it is hard to give 

 a real notion of what the rate of progress is at 

 our new place in Garden City. At present 

 there is a large hole in the ground, a spur track 

 crowded with material and a desolation and 

 chaos that promises little in the way of beauty. 

 But things are really moving. The Recreation 

 Ground, with its ball field and tennis grounds, 

 has been plowed, harrowed, levelled and 

 smoothed. A nursery of several thousand 

 young evergreens has just been begun; our own 

 gardener is on the place. The building has 

 been revised, and we think much improved, 

 the new drawings made, details worked out, 

 and rapid progress is assured. 



This little cut made from a rough sketch 

 of the revised building does not show the Garden 

 Court as it will be planted, but it does show, we 

 think, a building much more attractive than 

 the one printed in the April issue, and it has the 

 added merit of containing about 45,000 more 

 feet of floor space and avoids the long unbroken 

 lines shown in our first architectural plan. 



A PROFITABLE BUSINESS 



There are many thousand women at work 

 upon plans based on the idea of the "Pin Money 

 Pickles," a hard and difficult task. There are 

 a good many other women who know and use 

 The Garden Magazine who can make money 

 easier, we contend, than through cookery, by 

 introducing this magazine among their neigh- 

 bors. The Circulation Department of this 

 magazine can tell you of instances where men 

 and women have made little businesses of their 

 own with no great labor and a steady profit. 

 Write and ask for this information. 



COUNTRY LIFE LN AMERICA FOR JUNE 

 VACATION NUMBER 



If readers of The Garden Magazine do not 

 see Country Life in America regularly they are 

 missing an inspiring pleasure which all country 

 lovers need. If the city walls appeal to you 

 strongly "Country Life" is not for you, but 

 if the spring air stirs your blood and all the 

 out-door interests waken in you, a dose of 

 Country Life in A mcrica will be a tonic of joy- 

 ousness. 



The June issue of Country Life in America 

 is the annual vacation and outing number. 

 Fishing, camping, outdoor photography, horse- 

 back riding, automobiling and golf are some 

 of the topics discussed. The keynote of the 

 number is found in the article "Vacation Trips 

 for Everybody," which is a general round-up 

 of the where-to-go problem.
