of 



Mrs. Ely's Another Hardy Garden Book 



lyrRS. ELY'S new book tells simply of 

 the raising of vegetables and the cul- 

 tivation of fruits for the home garden. It 

 gives instructions for transplanting, not only 

 trees, but the shrubs, flowers, and vines from 

 woods and meadowlands for an attractive 

 " wild garden." There is a long chapter on 

 lilies and iris, their varieties, their periods of 

 blooming and their culture, giving some at- 

 tention also to water lilies and other aquat- 

 ics. The chapters on Spring and Autumn 

 work in the flower garden afford full and 

 precise directions for all that is to be done 

 at those seasons. 



Mrs. Ely is the wisest and most winning 

 teacher of the fascinating art of gardening that 

 we have met in modern print.'''' — New York 

 Tribune. 



Of Mrs. Ely's earlier book "J. Woman's 



Hardy Garden " Mrs. Alice Morse 



Earle said : 



" Let us sigh with gratitude and read the volume 

 with delight. For here it all is, — ^what we should 

 plant, and when we should plant it ; how to care for 

 it after it is planted and growing; what to do if it 

 does not grow and blossom ; what will blossom, and 

 when it will blossom, and what the blossom will be. 

 ... It is full of garden-love, of the spirit of happy 

 out-door life. It is a good book, a wholesome book ; 

 It influences you in the Reading, just as working in 

 the garden does in the doing.— not walking in the 

 garden merely, but turning over the soil, pulling the 

 weeds, nursing up a drooping plant, getting close to 

 the ground ; you feel better and truer, — feel that life 

 is good and is worth living, while there are gardens, 

 and flowers blooming in these gardens, and women 

 wlio are living and loving both flowers and gardens, 

 and writing about them."
