WOULD YOU 

 PICK A PLUM? 



I HAVE ARRANGED, 



in coniunction with Doubleday, Page 

 & Company, the publishers of the new 

 Garden Magazine, now acknowledged to 

 be the representative American gardening periodi 

 I, to offer this One Dollar publication for six months 

 (including special and double numbers) and the most help- 

 ful and up-to-date book on How to Plan the Home 

 rounds, by Samuel Parsons, Jr. (One Dollar edition 

 cloth), to our customers, 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-d^te encyclopedia of gardening. The 

 latter is a complete general guide to planting. Together, we believe they 

 are absolutely the largest value worth any gardener or home-builder eou 

 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 GAIJ DEN MAGAZINE 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. 



FAM. PI.ANTING NUMBER (ready Sep- 

 tember isth). 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. Hiirdy plants atid bulbs p?tt carefully into 

 the ground in the fall are ready to take advantage 

 of tlu early spring season, and get vastly better results.

HOW TO 

 PLAN THE HOME 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 liome 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.
