8. Flower Grouping in English, Scottish and Irish Gardens. 
Margaret Waterfield; J. M. Dent and Co. Filled with delightful 
suggestion concerning colour and form as related to flower-growing. 
9. The three books of E. A. Bowles (to be considered as one 
work) — My Garden in Spring, My Garden in Summer, My 
Garden in Autumn. Learning and charm are combined in these 
three books in a most unusual manner. 
These may be described as among the best books on gardening and 
should be in the library of all who seriously practice that art. 
The list is printed in this issue as containing helpful suggestions 
for Christmas. 
The Little Pruning Book. The Peck, Stow & Wilcox Company 
are printing an excellent little book on pruning. It tells in a manner 
easily understood, when, how and what to prune. It gives simple and 
well-classified information on what is, to the amateur, a difficult and 
somewhat obscure subject. 
Our Garden Journal. In June, Mrs. Herbert Harde published 
the first number of what is described as "Our Garden Journal, an 
illustrated quarterly conducted and controlled by amateur flower 
gardeners, devoted exclusively to the art of flower gardening for the 
amateur gardener." The magazine is beautifully printed and charm- 
ingly illustrated. This first number is devoted to roses, and excellent 
advice is given on the subject. The Journal is published at 56 West 
45th Street, New York. The subscription, by invitation only, is 
S6.00 a year. 
Ninth Annual Dahlia Show 
of the Short Hills Garden Club 
The Short Hills Garden Club will hold its Dahlia Show this year on 
Wednesday, October 3d, from 2 until 7 o'clock at the Short Hills Club, 
Short Hills, New Jersey. 
During the afternoon Mrs. 0. P. Chapman of Westerly, Rhode 
Island, Dahlia specialist, will demonstrate artistic arrangements of 
Dahlias, and will speak informally on their culture, gladly answering 
any questions on the subject. 
This show has ceased to be a merely local event and all Club mem- 
bers who possibly can should go to see the really beautiful and interest- 
ing exhibits.
