SOME MORE GOOD BOOKS 

 TREES FOR AMERICAN GARDENS. 



Donald Wyman. $7.50. 



If we could afford to give each of our customers a book 

 of general interest to nurserymen it would be this one, or 

 its companion volume, "Shrubs and Vines for American 

 Gardens," by the same author. We can't, but we suggest 

 you purchase one or both. With the knowledge you will 

 gain you will be able to answer almost all questions asked 

 you about all the most desirable trees. 

 THE NEW BOOK OF LILIES. Jan de Graaff. $3.50. 



All you want to know about the selection and culture of 

 lilies by this world-renowned grower. Describes the origin 

 and development of more than 200 varieties. Fascinating 

 chapters on how lilies multiply, how new types are made — 

 reports on Mr. de Graaff's own work. Tells all about stem 

 and base-rooting, how to propagate super lilies — how to 

 avoid and cope with trouble — how to select good bulbs — 

 best locations and soils — how to grow indoors in pots. 192 

 pages. 17 full color photographs, 12 pages of drawings. 

 PRINCIPLES OF WEED CONTROL. $5.50. 



The book brings forth the principles, facts and techniques 

 of scientific weed control. In addition, the authors discuss 

 soil sterilants, chemical and mechanical methods of defolia- 

 tion, ground spraying methods, airplane sprayers and 

 flame throwers. 



A BOOK WE RECOMMEND 



THE HOW AND WHY OF BETTER GARDENING. 



Laurence Manning. $3.00. 



This book will show you how to grow better flowers, fruit, 

 shrubs, trees and vegetables, because it contains the basic 

 principles of plant science, described in an easy-to-read 

 way every gardener can understand and use. 



"Mr. Manning has the almost unique quality of being at 

 the same time highly instructive and enormously enter- 

 taining. He entertains while teaching and teaches while 

 entertaining. Once I'd started 'The How and Why of Better 

 Gardening' I found myself virtually incapable of putting 

 it down, and I'm sure that countless other gardeners who 

 start it — beginners and old-hands alike — will find themselves 

 in the same predicament." — Theodore A. Weston, Editor, 

 "Flower Grower Magazine."
