Kinds of Gardens 
Perennial Gardens 
By H. Stuart Ortloff $1.25 
18 illus.; 92 pages; 5 x 7 ! /2 inches 
More than a list of plants with directions for grow¬ 
ing, this is a creative handbook of their uses. It gives 
you, in effect, the trained help of a landscape archi¬ 
tect. Plans and planting lists include almost every con¬ 
ceivable kind of small garden, each one of which was 
actually planted and brought into flower before being 
included in the book. The summary of color prin¬ 
ciples is, we believe, the most usable ever offered. 
There are clear directions for preparing and fer- 
tilzing the soil, cultivating, watering, pest control, 
transplanting, propagation, and winter protection.
