An Attractive Proposition! 
We Have Arranged 
in conjunction with Doubleday, Page & Company, the publishers of the new 
Garden Magazine^ now acknowledged to be the representative American 
gardening periodical, to offer this One Dollar publication for six months 
(including special and double numbers) and the most helpful and up-to-date 
book on How to Plan the Home Grounds, by the eminent landscape 
gardener, Samuel Parsons, Jr. (One Dollar edition in cloth), to our cus- 
tomers, 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-date encyclopedia of gardening* The latter 
is a complete general guide to planting. Together, we believe they are ab- 
solutely the largest value worth any gardener or home-builder could buy. 
They are sold separately everywhere at full price.

Mr. C. S. Harrison, author of a 
peony manual, has undertaken a more 
pretentious work in “The Gold Mine in 
the Front Yard” (Webb Publishing Co., 
St. Paul), and one which should have 
value for the western farm readers for 
whom it is especially intended. Any one 
who creates or increases interest in 
hardy perennials is doing a good work 
and adding materially to the sum of 
human happiness, — certainly fitting labor 
for a minister either active or retired. 
It is unfortunate that such value should 
be lessened by incorrect spelling. If the 
book is to be useful it must be to those 
who need guidance in matters of detail. 
Therefore mis-spelled names are a real 
detriment to the author’s purpose, since 
they cannot fail to be misleading. The 
most glaring orthographical error 
noted is an attempt to give the botanical 
name of Colorado’s state flower. The 
name of the species, Aquilegia, is en- 
tirely omitted (a curious oversight), 
while the name of the variety is so 
mangled as to be unrecognizable without 
■ reference to the cut. The fact is, as 
Wm. Falconer held while editing Gar- 
dening, that to be educational, writers 
on horticultural topics must use correct 
botanical names even when common 
names are also given. The latter differ 
in different localities ; the former are in- 
variable. To the French, the German, 
the Italians, the Swedes, to all civilized 
nations, Aquilegia caerulea means the 
same thing, — the lovely blue Columbine 
known quite generally in this country as 
the Blue Colorado Columbine. F. C. S. 
The Bureau of Forestry has issued 
Bulletin No. 61 entitled “Terms Used in 
Forestry and Logging,” which is a com- 
plete list of foresters’ terminology used 
in this country and the more important 
French and German equivalents. Many 
entirely new terms and modifications of 
others already in use are included to 
meet the specific needs of American 
forestry. The Bureau of Forestry will 
follow this terminology closely in all of 
its work and it is hoped that foresters 
, generally in the United States will still 
' further standardize it by use. 
THE GARDEN 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 
tlie 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. 
FALL PLANTING NU3IBER (ready Sep- 
tember 15 th). Millions of dollars are spent each year, 
when autumn comes around, for bulbs, hardy plants 
and trees. More and more expert gardeners plant in 
tlie fall. Hardy plants and bulbs Put carefidly into 
the f^roiind in the fall are ready to take advantage 
of the early spring seasoiiy and get vastly better restilts. 
DOUBLE NIT3IBER 
For April 
With the pace set by 
the great Planting Num- 
ber last April, it will eas- 
ily be the most important 
and helpful garden publi- 
cation of the year. 
“ li’^ould not take $50 for 
my April number if I 
could not get another,'* 
says one man who enjoys the 
$1.00 a year. 10 c. a copy ^

HOW TO 
PLAN THE H03IE 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 home 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.
