The Response 

 Proved It 



Unusual nursery catalogue 

 gets unusual welcome 

 from readers of 

 Garden Magazine 



THE many enthusiastic letters received 

 by us since we announced the publica- 

 tion of our new book "Beautiful Home 

 Surroundings" has proven that the need of 

 such a book is realized by a large number 

 of garden lovers. The first edition already 

 proves how interesting a nursery catalogue 

 can be made. 



With all the catalogues that have been 

 published, it seems the overwhelming idea 

 has been to impress the reader with the 

 number of different items offered for sale. 

 Many times the descriptions were hack- 

 neyed, the illustrations worn out, and the 

 whole, dull and uninteresting. 



We started out to build a book that would 

 be helpful, interesting, and attractive. We 

 secured a large number of good photographs, 

 made up for the most part of plantings we 

 ourselves had completed and which visual- 

 ized possibilities of different types of 

 nursery products, and then we built this 

 book so these photographs could really help 

 the reader in planting his or her own home 

 surroundings. 



The book is ready for distribution. Al- 

 ready a large number of readers of Garden 

 Magazine have accepted our invitation to 

 ■write for it, but we feel that it is a book of 

 such value that it should be in the hands 

 of every reader. 



"Beautiful Home Surroundings" 

 Is Yours for the Asking 



This book has already proven it is to be 

 not only unusual, but valuable, — in that it 

 presents the very information you want, 

 without superfluous detail. It will be a 

 great help to garden owners. Its unusual 

 contents, its apt illustrations, all combine 

 to help you in selecting the right nursery 

 stock for your home grounds. 



Don't place your order for nursery 

 stock until you receive a copy. It 

 will be mailed on request. Write 

 for it to-day.
