Milady’s 
House Plants 
There is quite a story connected with the publi¬ 
cation of this book. The author, F. E. Palmer, 
one day, in the Hall of the Massachusetts Horti¬ 
cultural Society, lectured before several hundred 
ladies on house plants. After his lecture he was 
bombarded with questions for two hours by his 
enthusiastic hearers, evidencing the great interest 
in house plants which his lecture had created. 
So Mr. Palmer was appealed to by us to write a 
book on House Plants, and he has done so, em¬ 
bodying therein his experience of some forty years 
in instructing the ladies how to be successful with 
plants in the home. 
In Milady’s House Plants he tells the story 
in full, being careful to consider only those plants 
which can be successfully reared in the home. 
We know of no book— in fact we feel there is no 
book—so complete and thorough as this by Mr. 
Palmer. 
It contains 100 illustrations and 180 pages, and 
has a beautiful cover in colors. A fitting present 
for the housewife.
