THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 
SEPTEMBER, 1908 
| OLD WORLD EFFECTS WITH NEW WORLD 
MATERIAL 
This spring we sent Mr. Wilhelm Miller, who 
for years has been a member of the Editorial 
staff of Country Lije in America and The 
Garden Magazine—Farming, to England, to find 
‘ out what that country could teach us about 
gardening and kindred subjects. He is writing 
twelve articles for Country Life in America, as 
follows: 
WHAT ENGLAND CAN TEACH US ABOUT 
Wild Gardening. 
Wall Gardening. 
Rock Gardening. 
Rose Gardens. 
Joys of Collecting. 
Indoor Gardening. 
Gardening. 
Living Out of Doors. 
Landscape Gardening. 
Formal Gardening. 
Hardy Gardens. 
City Gardening. 
“Our task,” he writes, ‘‘is to reproduce with 
long-lived material in the United States some 
of the effects which the English gardens have 
secured.” Much of his time is devoted to 
having photographs made to illustrate these 
articles, and in these pictures there will be 
shown only those plants that can be grown 
in the United States. Heretofore books and 
articles on English gardening have discussed 
gardens which were entirely impractical for 
America, but Mr. Miller, being an experienced 
American horticulturist, has carefully excluded 
all plants which cannot be safely and effectively 
grown on this side of the water. The pictures 
which have already arrived are very remarkable, 
and we think they will be a new and interesting 
feature for Country Lije in America. 
Mr. Miller is also making a study of garden 
effects, and has in preparation a series of 
articles for The Garden Magazine—Farming on 
““Old World Effects with New World Material,” 
and these will add much, we believe, to the 
attractiveness of the magazine. 
The October issue of The Garden M agazine- 
Farming will be the Double Annual Fall 
Planting Number, with a special cover in color. 
There are many things that must be planted in 
the fall, and the growth of many others may 
be advanced several weeks by timely fall 
planting. This number will contain a great 
number of valuable suggestions which, if taken 
advantage of, will save a good deal of effort in 
the busy spring season, when every minute 
counts. 
“To business that we love we rise betime 
And go to’t with delight.”—A tony and Cleopatra 
“HOW THE STANDARD OIL COMPANY 
ITS BUSINESS ”’ 
MANAGES 
is the subject of the second article about this 
great company —in the September number of 
The World’s Work, by Mr. C. M. Keys. The 
first article (in August) was, “How the Standard 
Oil Company Brings to the United States 
$1,000,000 a Week from Its Foreign Trade.” 
The September World’s Work contains also 
an article by Mr. F. N. Doubleday giving

Facsimile of September *‘ World’s Work ” Cover 
“Some Personal Impressions of Mr. John D. 
Rockefeller,” which throws new light on this 
reticent man’s character and qualities. 
In the October World’s Work, by the way, 
there will begin the Reminiscences of Mr. 
Rockefeller. 
The September World’s Work contains also 
an elaborate article by Mr. Frederick Todd 
on ‘The Airship Is Here,” the most instructive 
and elaborately illustrated article on flying 
machines that has yet been published. 
DAFFODILS — NARCISSUS 
The early fall is the time to plant bulbs for 
daffodils or narcissus for spring blooming, or 
to force them to bloom indoors for the Holiday 
Season. The bulbs are inexpensive, and by 
devoting a small amount of time and space to 
them excellent results can be secured. “ Daf- 
fodils — Narcissus, and How to Grow Them,” 
in our Garden Library, is an excellent hand- 
book, and can be procured from booksellers 
for $1.10, or we will send it direct for $1.18, post- 
paid. Other books of the Garden Library are: 
“Roses, and How to Grow Them.” 
“Ferns, and How to Grow Them.” 
“Lawns, and How to Make Them.” 
“Water-Lilies, and How to Grow Them.” 
LIMP LEATHER EDITION OF KIPLING 
The work on the limp leather pocket edition 
of Mr. Kipling’s works is steadily going forward. 
“Kim,” “The Day’s Work,” and “ Depart- 
mental Ditties” are ready, and “Plain Tales 
from the Hills,” will be published before the 
first of September. 
NEW BOOKS 
During August we shall have the pleasure of 
adding to our book list: 
“The Weeping Cross,” by Henry L. Stuart. 
“The Blotting Book,” by E. F. Benson, author of 
“Sheaves.” 
“My School and My Gospel,” by Sir Hubert yon 
Herkomer, the Great English Artist. 
“Round the Corner in Gay Street,” by Grace S. 
Richmond, author of “The Indifference of Juliet.” 
“Studies in the American Race Problem,” by Alfred 
Holt Stone. 
“The Altar Stairs,” by G. B. Lancaster, author of 
LANE Sypwan;? 
SPENDING SPARE TIME WITH PROFIT 
The articles and plans under way for the fall 
make it possible for us to offer an unusual 
opportunity to those who can represent us for 
our three magazines. We desire not only those 
who can represent us by personal canvassing, 
but those who have a smaller amount of leisure 
time in which they can do letter writing profit- 
ably for themselves. Of course, the “Remi- 
niscences of Men and Events,” by John D. 
Rockefeller, will greatly increase the demand 
for The World’s Work. For further par- 
ticulars, address The Circulation Department,
