Milady's House Plants 



The Care of Plants in the Home made simple and 

 success assured to all who follow the practical 

 directions of the veteran grower who, after much 

 urging, at last consented to give the public the 

 benefit of his lifelong observations and experience 



LJERE is guidance for the 

 ^ woman who loves the com- 

 panionship of plants in the home. 

 Written by F. E. Palmer, a re- 

 cognized authority in the United 

 States on the subject on which he 

 has so conclusively written. Mr. 

 Palmer has spent twenty-five years 

 engaged in the business of selling 

 plants to women, arranging for 

 their home decorations, etc., and 

 so knows just what problems pre- 

 sent themselves to the woman 

 taking care of plants in her own 

 home. He tells fully and con- 

 scientiously of the plants which 

 any woman can successfully grow 

 indoors, and of all the details neces- 

 sary to insure this success. 

 The chapters of Milady's House Plants have been thought- 

 fully arranged, and the work is marvelous in its lucidity, com- 

 pleteness and compactness. 



One of its pleasant surprises to readers will be the many 

 educational pictur s, specially posed by the author, at consider- 

 able expense, which demonstrate ocularly, as can be done in no 

 better way, many operations in plant growing which wondf*r- 

 fully simplify the work and enhance its interest. 



Any woman, with the aid of this book, may have a fine collec- 

 tion of plants to add cheer and beauty to the environments of 

 the home during the Fall and Winter months, then in Spring 

 and Summer to lend their beauty to the luxuriant mass of 

 outdoor planting. 



The chapter on **Sun Parlors as Plant Rooms*' is a new de- 

 parture. The subject is gone into minutely, and this one chapter 

 alone is worth many times the price asked for the book. 



Profusely illustrated with about 100 instructive pictures, the 

 majority of them taken exclusively for this book. 

 Cover in four colors. Price, by mail, paper 60c. ; cloth $1.
