Milady's 

 House Plants 



There is quite a story connected with the publi- 

 cation of this book. The author, F. E. Pahner, 

 one day, in the Hall of the Massachusetts Horti- 

 cultural Society, lectured before several hundred 

 ladies on house plants. After his lecture he was 

 bombarded with questions for two hours by his 

 enthusiastic hearers, evidencing the great interest 

 in house plants which his lecture had created. 

 So Mr. Palmer was appealed to by us to write a 

 book on House Plants, and he has done so, em- 

 bodying therein his experience of some forty years 

 in instructing the ladies how to be successful with 

 plants in the home. 



In Milady's House Plants he tells the stor\- 

 in full, being careful to consider only those plants 

 which can be successfully reared in the home. 

 We know of no book — in fact we feel there is no 

 book — so complete and thorough as this by Mr. 

 Palmer. 



It contains 100 illustrations and 180 pages, and 

 has a beautiful cover in colors. A fitting present 

 for the housewife.
