WOULD YOU PICK A PLUM ? 



WE HAVE ARRANGED. 



in conjunction with Doubleday, Page & Company, the publishers of the new 

 Garden Magazine, now acknowledged to be the representative American 

 gardening periodical, to offer this One Dollar publication for six months 

 (including special and double numbers) and the most helpful and up-to-date 

 book on How to Plan the Home Grounds, by the eminent landscape 

 gardener, Samuel Parsons, Jr. (One Dollar edition in cloth), to our cus- 

 tomers, postpaid, for a very low sum. 



We can say but a few words in this limited space about the magazine 

 and book. The former is an up-to-date encyclopedia, of gardening. The latter 

 is a complete general guide to planting. Together, we believe they are ab- 

 solutely the largest value worth any gardener or home-builder could buy. 

 They are sold separately everywhere at full price. Our customers get them 

 both for $1.00 if they speak now. 



You will certainly, sooner or later, buy the book or the magazine. Why 

 not take advantage of this greatly reduced price? 



THE GARDE> 3IAGAZINE is already too 

 well known to require a description on this page. It is 

 by far the most beautiful, helpful and readable periodi- 

 cal on gardening-. It will be even larger and better for 

 the coming year, a constant reminder and guide for the 

 growing of flowers, vegetables and fruits, in many su- 

 perbly illustrated articles and twenty-five regular de- 

 partments. We can only suggest two of the twelve 

 timely numbers. 



FAIiE PEANTING IVL^IBER (ready Sep- 

 tember 15th). Millions of dollars are spent each year, 

 when autumn comes around, for bulbs, hardy plants 

 and trees. More and more expert gardeners plant in 

 the fall. Hardy giants and bulbs put carefully into 

 the grojind in the fall are ready to take advantage 

 of the early spring season, and get vastly better resiclts. 



$1.00 a year. 10c. a copy 



DOLBEE NUMBER 



For April 



With the pace set by 

 tlie great Planting Num- 

 ber last April, it will eas- 

 ily be the most important 

 and helpful garden publi- 

 cation of the year. 



" Wotild 7iot take $S0 for 

 my April nu7nber if I 

 could not get another," 

 says one man who enjoj-s the 

 pleasures of a good garden.

HOW TO 

 PLAN THE H03IE GROUNDS 



Samuel Parsons, Jr., the author, is a Fellow of 

 the Society of American Landscape Architects, and 

 was for years Superintendent of the New York 

 Parks. He gives practical directions not only for 

 laying out the home grounds, selection of site, the 

 care and making of roads and paths, lawns, wood- 

 lands, hedges, gardens, selection of plants and trees, 

 etc., but also in a second section he treats of the 

 village improvements, designed to elevate public 

 taste, as it concerns the highways, the schoolhouses, 

 the stations, and the village outdoor life generally.
