The Pocket Garden Library 



Edited by LEONARD BARRON, Editor of the Garden Magazine 



The first pocket color guides to popular garden favorites — hardy annuals, herbaceous peren- 

 nials, shrubs, evergreens and greenhouse plants. A help to the home gardener and nature lover ; 

 a key to open up a new world for those who have not yet learned the joy of knowing the 

 secrets of growing things. 



You need no longer plan your garden blindly, or guess at the names of the plants and flowers 

 you see. Here is the information in four convenient and beautiful little volumes — one for 

 each season of the year. More than eight hundred popular garden flowers are shown in their 

 natural colors in a series of illustrations made for these books by the best plant portrait paint- 

 ers in America, and each flower is described, and directions are given as to how, when and 

 where to plant.
