This book has become the indispensable handbook of thousands of gardeners throughout the United 

 States. Henderson's Garden Guide contains more essential information, is easier of reference and 

 more complete than many works much more pretentious in character. In a measure, our customers'havo 

 contributed to its contents by the questions put to us daily over our counters, so that the Garden 

 Guide is an attempt to solve the problems which confront both the novice and the experienced 

 gardener. Originally designed for the amateur and containing only elementary informa- 

 tion, it has grown to be more inclusive, so that it now embraces almost every phase 

 of ordinary garden craft. This growth has not robbed it of its simplicity, 

 out has extended its usefulness to a greater number of gardeners. 

 It is of convenient pocket size (5x834 inches), has 64 pages of 

 text, including a comclcte index. Also 12 calendar pages, 

 *■ one for every month, for noting phenomena, dates and other 

 _^ items of interest. These greatly enhance its value and 

 ^ encourage an observant attitude in the garden. It

Make Your Garden Work Full Time 



We want to remind you that you can make your garden work for you 

 both in the SPRING, in the SUMMER, and in the FALL and keep right on 

 ■up to frost, the good work of providing an abundant supply of fresh vege- 

 tables for your table. 



Early planting is of course necessary for varieties which need a long 

 season in which to mature, but there are varieties which need only a short 

 growing period and these should be chosen for summer or fall planting. 

 They are designated in our catalogue as "early" and are the result of ex- 

 perimental work in our trial grounds extending over a period of seventy-five

years. It will be found that all of these may safely be planted in the summer 

 and early fall. 



Succession sowings should be made of most vegetables throughout the 

 Summer and early Fall to supply the table, but when vegetables are wanted 

 for canning purposes or for storing it is better to sow seed late in the summer. 

 Then, as the crops mature late, they keep longer. 



Vegetables maturing in the late Fall are hardier and therefore better for 

 storing in winter. Below we print a list of vegetable seeds suitable for 

 sowing in June, July, August and September ifl the latitude of New York.
