THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



April, 1913 



Our best list in ten years 



BOOK season for a publisher is good or bad chiefly in proportion as the 

 new list is strong or weak. The ideal condition is to have important new 

 books by authors whose work is well known and for whom a public is 

 already made and waiting, and a few new books by new authors whose 

 spurs are still to be won and who will be favorites in the years to come. 

 Such a fortunate condition Doubleday, Page & Company have for the spring of 1913.
