taining to the Garden. Also one on the Home Canning of Vegetables. 
These articles have been* written by people thoroughly experienced — é 
in the matters treated, and may be relied upon. 
This book has become the indispensable handbook of thousands of gardeners throughout / 
the United States. Henderson’s Garden Guide contains more essential information, is / 
easier of reference, and more complete than many works much more pretentious in / 
character. Ina measure, our customers have contributed to its contents by the ques- /

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 y. 
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 useful- / 
mess to a greater number of gardeners..

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 vege- 
tables for your table. 
Early planting is of course necessary for varicties which need a long 
season im 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 ex- 
perimenta! work in our trial grounds extending over a period of seventy-five

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 Pall 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.
