Henderson's New Garden Guide and Record for 1916 



FREE WITH EVERY ORDER amounting to $1.00 or over, IF ASKED FOR WHEN ORDERING 



THE wonderful popularity of this little gardening handbook has induced us to revise the earlier editions and add new and up-to-date matter, much 

 of which has been suggested by our patrons from their questions and our answers accruing through our extensive correspondence, many perplexing 

 little points being covered that some one — and probably many others — want to know that horticultural writers too often omit. As one of our customers 

 expresses it: "The big books on gardening are good as far as they go — but something I need to know is sure to be missing." 



Henderson's G.\rden Guide, though prepared for the amateur and novice, yet will be found most useful to the more experienced gardeners for ready 

 reference. It is a booklet in convenient pocket form, with a waterproof cover, so that it may be taken right out in the garden where it will often come in handy 

 in giving cultural directions and answering concisely, in simple language, the hundred and one gardening questions. The information given on the various 

 subjects, while not exhaustive, is strictly up-to-date, and may be quickly found by glancing at the index. Another valuable feature is the blank pages for 

 making notes, such as the kind of vegetable, fruit or Qower, date of sowing or planting, first product, continuity, quality, etc. In fact, many little records 

 shouli be kept in it to refresh one's mind regarding another season's gardening operations.
