HENDERSON'S 



New Garden Guide and Record for 1918 



REVISED, AND BROUGHT UP-TO-DATE 



IM^Price 25c. or FREE WITH EVERY ORDER amounting to 82.00 or over, if asked for when ordering 



FROM a very modest beginning, seven years ago, this little book has become the indispensable handbook and pocket encyclopedia 

 of thousands of gardeners throughout the United States, and we think that Henderson's Garden Guide contains more 

 essential information, is more simple in style and form, easier of reference, and more complete than many works much more 

 pretentious in character. In a measure, our customers have contributed to its contents, for a great deal of the information given 

 has been suggested by the numerous questions put to us daily over our counters, so that the Garden Guide is essentially an attempt 

 to anticipate and solve the problems which confront both the novice and the experienced gardener. Originally designed for the 

 amateur and containing only the most elementary information, it has gradually grown to be more inclusive, so that it now embraces 

 almost every phase of ordinary garden craft. This growth has by no means robbed it of its simplicity, but has rather extended its 

 usefulness to a greater number of gardeners. 



It is of convenient pocket size (5x8 # inches), has a waterproof cover, and 64 pages of text, including a complete index. Also 

 12 pages, one for even' month, for noting phenomena, dates and other items of interest. These not only greatly enhance its value, 

 but suggest and encourage an observant attitude in the garden. 



The "Garden Beautiful" and "Garden Bountiful" may be easily realized by studying the following articles: 



Flowers from Seed: 



Selections for Different Purposes.

 nuals, Biennials. Perennials.

"Your 'Garden Guide,' which I 

 prized as highly as a piece of old lace, 

 has been taken from my desk in some 

 way, and although I have inquired and 

 sent tracers from basement to attic it 

 hasn't turned up as yet. I can't keep 

 house without it, that's all there is to it, 

 and so enclose 25 cents for which kindly 

 send me another copy of your little book."

 mense amount of use a beginner like 

 myself can make of your 'Garden Guide 

 and Record.' " 



Mrs. E. F. WADE, Knappa. Ore.
