Henderson's Garden Guide and Record 



Will Be a Great Help in Planting and Cultivating Your Garden 



i 



This new edition contains additional articles on various subjects pertaining to the garden 

 Also one on the Home Canning of Vegetables. These articles have been written by people 

 thoroughly experienced in the matters treated, and may be relied upon. 



This book has become the indispensable handbook of thousands of gardenei 

 throughout the United States. Henderson's Garden Guide contains more essential 

 information, is easier of reference, and more complete than many works more preten- 

 tious in character. In a measure, our customers have 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 

 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 ot gardeners 



It is of convenient pocket size (5 x 8U inches), has 72 pages of text, including a 

 complete 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 



Price, 25c. per copy, but sent free on request with orders amounting to 

 $3.00 or over 



"/ wish I could convince every man and woman that it is almost impossible to have a 

 oarden that will be a success without the Henderson Garden Guidt
