This book has become the indispensable handbook of thousands of gardeners Rogers, Arkansas. 
throughout the United States. Henderson’s Garden Guide contains more 
essential information, is easier of reference, and more complete than many 
works more pretentious in{character. In a measure, our customers have con- 
tributed 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 con- 
front both the novice and the experienced gardener. Originally designed 
for the amateur and’containing only elementary information, 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, 
but has extended its usefulness to a greater number of gardeners. 
It is of convenient pocket size (5x84 inches), has 72 pages of text, 
including a complete index. Also 12 calendar pages, one for every i 
month, for noting phenomena, dates and other items ‘of interest. i 
These greatly enhance its value and encourage an observant attitude : 
in the garden. It treats of 
Vegetable Culture—Directions Lawns and Grass Plots—Making, 
ow to Grow. : ' Maintaining and Renovating. 
Companion and Successive Crops. Flowers from Seed—Selections 
Vegetable Planting Time Table: for Different Purposes and 
Culinary Herbs. Brief Instructions How to

Grow Vegetables for Winter Use 
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 vegetables 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 described in our catalogue as “‘early’’ and are the 
results of experimental work in our trial grounds extending over a period

of seventy-nine 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 in the latitude of New York.
