Surely the increasing of plants by seeds, cuttings,

nating miracles each of us can perform. Have you 
often wondered just how to sow various seeds, why 
some sprout so slowly, how long you can keep 
seeds, when to sow perennials? How to grow 
plants from their leaves? How to increase bulbs 
faster? How to give a piece of a favorite shrub to 
a neighbor? How to graft fruit trees? These and 
many other points are fully covered in Plant Propa¬ 
gation. Every step is clearly illustrated and care¬ 
fully described in terms that are definite but under¬ 
stood by anyone.

THE ART OF HOME LANDSCAPE 
By M. E. Bottomley 
Perhaps you are confused about formal and in¬ 
formal design. Perhaps you have wondered how 
to make a high wall terrace or house appear lower, 
how to widen the effect of a tall house, how to 
emphasize a building or how to subordinate it. You 
may want to know not only how to plant the front 
of the house but how to develop the yard and gar¬ 
den—the Home Landscape. 
You have always wanted to get a working idea 
of the use of color in the garden. In this book Pro¬ 
fessor Bottomley has interpreted the principles of 
landscape gardening. He has made them practical 
and understandable to the amateur. 
The practical end of landscape gardening is by 
no means overlooked in this book. There is a thor¬ 
ough survey of the field of horticulture—how plants 
grow, fertilization, pruning, tree.surgery, planting 
and maintenance.
