THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



54a 



HOME BUILDERS WANTED 



We are fully persuaded, at least in our 

 own minds, that anybody who is planning or 

 building a house should be a reader of Country 

 Life in America, and we base this judgment 

 not merely on the fact that the visits of the 

 magazine, we hope, will give pleasure, but 

 on the even more direct appeal that the house 

 and grounds will be better, and actual money 

 will be saved by reading this magazine. 



At the same time, we realize that no country 

 lover wants to think houses all the time, and 

 we have made a list of subjects, taken at 

 random, which are treated more or less reg- 

 ularly, to show the broad range of Country 

 Life in America's subjects. We have made 

 no attempt to make the list complete, as we 

 do not care to fill this entire page:

THE FALL PLANTING NUMBER OF THE 

 GARDEN MAGAZLNE 



For years, this magazine has dilated upon 

 the importance and desirability of fall planting 

 in all cases where fall planting is suitable. 

 This double number for October will be 

 chiefly devoted to this live subject. It will 

 be worth reading, keeping, and studying, 

 and the price is 25 cents. 



We are anxious to get in touch with people 

 who are making money out of gardens of any 

 kind. Personal experiences like those published 

 in this and last month's number are what we 

 need, with photographs, and, naturally, all 

 contributions are paid for.

We have made an attractive, uniform set 

 of nine volumes for the Garden Lover, covering 

 the following subjects, all volumes beautifully 

 and abundantly illustrated, which will be a 

 prized possession for anyone to own: 

 The Flower Garden. 

 The Vegetable Garden. 

 The Orchard and Fruit Garden.

 Lawns, and How to Make Them.
