n.YOU take an interest in your home; 

 YOU want to know how that home can 

 be improved at little cost, how it can 

 be made a better, happier, brighter, 

 more artistic place to live in ; 

 YOU have a garden and you love flow- 

 ers, and you wish to make that garden 

 more attractive; 

 YOU have failed as a gardener and you 

 want to know why; in a word, if your 

 home and its surroundings mean anything at all to you, 



DON'T YOU READ

Every number contains articles that 

 give you just the kind of informa- 

 tion you need to better your sur- 

 roundings; gives you hints that you 

 can follow because they arc suited 

 to your purse. No magazine is 

 more handsomely printed, more beau- 

 tifully illustrated, more cl jarly worded.
