GARDEN 
I T is an earnest of our growing saneness of 
viewpoint, the increased enthusiasm with 
which we turn each spring and summer to 
the out of doors. Not only are the ranks of 
out-and-out campers and trampers and back- 
to-naturers swelling, but we mere prosaic 
Americans whose daily outings take us little 
farther than the bird pool at the end of the 
garden finds ourselves, with the advent of 
each warm season, living more and more among 
our shrubs and trees and flowers. 
Living anywhere without furniture is an 
anomaly—even your camper makes himself a 
rude log chair or table—so for our June issue 
we have assembled a selection of those acces¬ 
sories which make the outdoor hours at home 
still more delightful. There are two pages of 
garden furniture of the practical as well as 
ornamental kind; two more on statuary and 
two on wall fountains. Awnings come in for 
attention, too; and sleeping porches, with some 
of the most delightful photographs we have 
seen in a long while.

One of the views which link the garden 
and the house in the June number 
IN JUNE 
must be growing plants, of course. Climbing 
roses, for example—three pages which tell all 
about the fifty best kinds. Earnest Ingersoll 
contributes a charming account of the vital 
relationship which exists between birds and 
flowers; and there are many garden photo¬ 
graphs which are in themselves an inspiration 
to you to go and do likewise. 
. There must be rainy days in every garden, 
days when four walls and a tight roof are 
good things to possess. When they come you 
can turn to the cretonnes for the summer 
house, or new ideas in lamps and lighting flx- 
tures, or collecting old ivories, or kitchenettes 
where one can really cook—we show them all 
and other things besides, such as real half¬ 
timber work and some wholly attractive Japa¬ 
nese houses. 
So, you see, the June number is a well bal¬ 
anced one. In this short analysis we cannot 
begin to mention all the features, but we are 
going to ask you to take our word for it that 
we feel just a little bit proud of the way the 
magazine will look when you open it.
