HOME BUILDERS 



If you are building a country home, or are 

 planning to build one, or even hope to do so, 

 you . will find pleasure in reading the House- 

 building Annual of Country Life in America. 

 which will be the double number for October. 



This number has been in many ways the 

 most successful of the year, and we are tempted 

 to say the most useful. 



Here is a partial table of its contents: 



Three Old Dutch Roads and the Houses Along 



Them. 

 The Adventures of a Suburbanite. 

 The Vicissitudes of a Colonial Farmhouse. 

 A House Built About Its Trees. 



Oak Ridge, the Country Seat of Thomas F. Ryan. 

 Some Successful Houses of Wood, Brick, Stone, and 



Stucco. 

 The House in the Trees. 

 The Reclamation of the Old Colonial Farmhouse. 



Originality in the Decoration of Walls. 



Some Old Colonial Hardware. 



Inexpensive Woodwork for Modern Interiors. 



The New Hollow Tile Construction. 



A Fireproof House for $4,500. 



The Story of a Chimney. 



Seen From a Country Window. 



The Automobile at Home- 



Gardens and Grounds. 



The Concrete Bridge on the Country Estate. 



The New Sport of Flying. 



Besides the Regular Departments of the Magazine. 



The price of this issue is fifty cents, and it 

 is one of the three double numbers one receives 

 without extra charge with a year's subscrip- 

 tion for $4.00.

HOW TO SEE THESE BOOKS 



Since the firm of Doubleday, Page & Com- 

 pany was started in 1900, it has kept to the plan 

 of sending books on approval. If we could 

 induce people to look at our publications in 

 the bookstores, or have them sent on approval, 

 we are convinced that we could increase our 

 business many fold. Apropos — in looking 

 over the announcements in this magazine, 

 will you not write on a postal the titles of such 

 of our books as you would like to look at in 

 your own home, at leisure ? As the Kodak 

 people say: "We will do the rest," and at our 

 own expense. 



A NATURE NOVEL 



Nearly 100,000 people bought copies of Mrs. 

 Gene Stratton-Porter's novel, "Freckles," and 

 probably a half million people read it. If they 

 enjoyed that book, and its steady sale proves 

 that they did, they will enjoy, we think, even 

 more, Mrs. Porter's new book, "A Girl of 

 the Limberlost," the story of a girl who worked 

 her way along under trying circumstances to a 

 success. It is the plain and absorbing story 

 of so characteristic an American type that we 

 think it will sell all of 100,000. In this con- 

 nection, we may say that we have purchased 

 from the Outing Company the author's 

 novel, "At the Foot of the Rainbow," 

 which belongs in the same out-of-door field of 

 fiction. 



THE GARDEN LIBRARY 



The only Garden Library published in this 

 country in a compact set of little books is, so 

 far as we know, the set now just ready and 

 issued by Doubleday, Page & Company. You 

 will find an announcement of it on page 141 

 of this issue, and we hope you will inspect 

 these delightful little volumes. 



THE NEW BOOK CATALOGUE 



is ready. It is a revised, descriptive list of 

 our book publications. We should like to 

 have any readers of our magazines own one.
