N OW, at last, you can give up guesswork 
and go about your gardening with all the 
assurance of an authority. No more costly 
delays while you wait for an expert to write you 
advice—you are the expert. Now, at your finger¬ 
tips, you have the knowledge—the discoveries 
that scientific gardeners have worked out after 
years and years of research. Every question 
that you could possibly ask is there, on the pages 
in front of you, answered with the final author¬ 
ity of the men who know. 
Look over the imposing array of names of the 
men who have written these books. There is 
one on “Roses” by McFarland, “The Vegetable 
Garden” by Kruhm, “House Plants” 
by Barnes, “Planning your Garden” 
by Rogers, and here’s a real treat—a 
book on Flower Growing by Leonard 
Barron—a man who is conceded to be 
one of the really foremost authorities 
on the subject in the country. In fact 
—every book in the series has been 
edited by Mr. Barron himself, pre¬ 
pared especially to meet the needs of 
the subscribers to Garden Magazine 
of which he is Editor.
