I II E GARDEN MAGAZINE 



April, 1918 



Here's a Magazine 

 You Need! 



With the increasing interest manifested 

 in the broader aspects of horticulture 

 and gardening, caused by present 

 conditions a "review publication" for 

 enthusiasts is more than ever ap- 

 preciated. Such a review is found 

 in The Gardeners' Chronicle. 

 The great amount of literature 

 published on the subject in 

 these times makes the following testimon- 

 ial of more than passing value. 



'I am not a gardener, but employ two, and subscribe to your 

 paper. Always find something instructive and interesting in it. 

 Your selecting interesting articles from other publications is a good idea for then 

 your readers seldom miss a good thing." — W. C. E., Highland Park, III., 9-26-16. 



Issued 

 Monthly 



Each issue a 

 book in itself 



Its pages are devoted exclusively to 

 gardening, covering all its phases at all 

 seasons of the year. Its notes on the 

 growing of flowers, fruits, and vegetables 

 are both precise and practical. They 

 do not leave the reader in doubt on 

 methods of procedure. 



The special articles, each month, are 

 from the pens of the foremost gardeners 

 and horticulturists in America. 



Its digests are from the leading horti- 

 cultural periodicals of both America 



and European countries. The Gardeners' 

 Chronicle provides a fund of helpful 

 knowledge each month for all interested 

 in gardening, and is creating among its 

 readers a more informed knowledge — 

 a real gardening spirit, by interpreting 

 the true and lasting joys and benefits 

 of gardening. It aims to perpetuate 

 the nation-wide interest and activity 

 that has been aroused by our govern- 

 ment in American home gardens. 



Such a publication will be of inestimable help and benefit to you in your garden work 



You should read it each month. The al- 

 ready large and rapidly growing list of sub- 

 scribers all over the United States is testi- 

 mony to the appeal of its editorial policy.

 become acquainted with it and so make the

286 Fifth Avenue 



CHRONICLE 



New York 



Our New Book 



"Beautiful Home Surroundings" 

 now ready for distribution. 



A S announced last month in these 

 J-\ pages the new catalogue of the 

 "** ■*• Framingham Nurseries has 

 come from the press. Unlike the 

 usual catalogue, it actually describes 

 the adaptability of the products of 

 this nursery, and presents photo- 

 graphic and drawn sketches illustra- 

 ting their real purpose. 



It is the kind of nursery catalogue 

 the American public has long been 

 waiting for. 



Written from the viewpoint of the 

 intending purchaser, who wishes to 

 secure pertinent facts without wading 

 through a mass of unnecessary tech- 

 nicalities, it stands forth as a monu- 

 ment of efficient description of the 

 products of this nursery. No effort 

 has been made to list all the plants 

 and shrubs, trees and vines that are 

 growing at Framingham. 



Rather has the idea been carried 

 out of presenting "in language easily 

 understandable, accompanied by pic- 

 tures that truly illustrate, descrip- 

 tions of uses and adaptability con- 

 veniently arranged; all of which 

 every gardener has need of in plan- 

 ning the home grounds." 



Every reader of The Garden 

 Magazine should have a copy of 

 this book and use it in re-arranging 

 his or her garden scheme and placing 

 orders for their spring planting. To 

 keep away mere curiosity seekers, a 

 nominal price of 35c. per copy 

 has been put on the book. The 

 edition is limited. It has just come 

 from the press. We want readers 

 of Garden Magazine to have this 

 book because we know they repre- 

 sent the highest type of intelligent 

 garden enthusiasts. 



If you will write us and mention 

 the fact that you read the Garden 

 Magazine, we will be glad to send 

 you complimentary, one of the first 

 copies from the press. 



Address Framingham Nurseries, 

 Framingham, Mass., and say: "Send 

 me your new book 'Beautiful Home 

 Surroundings,' I am a reader of 

 Garden Magazine." 



The Readers' Service will gladly furnish information about Nursery Stock, etc.
