 tative work covering the American Garden as that famous work by William Robinson describes the 

 English Garden. The present book is the "final authority" and covers adequately the needs of the 

 amateur whose garden is either extensive or the reverse; and every fact among the thousands is made 

 quickly available by a fourteen-page index. There are four plates in full color, and eighty plates of 

 sufficient size adequately to treat the subjects presented. With planting lists by Leonard Barron. 

 Regular edition. Net price, $$.00 {postage 35 cents).
