Do you plan your garden... 
or just let it grow? 
Mrs. Francis King wrote her book, ‘‘Plan¬ 
ning Your Planting” with you in mind— 
you the people of America who have a plot of 
ground to use and who like to see things 
grow. It is full of new ideas—yet it is prac¬ 
tical; it suggests at every turn of a page some 
way to transform a common “patch” into a 
place of beauty, or rearrange a staid kitchen 
garden into a source of inspiration—yet it is 
all scaled down to the small garden, the kind 
that surround America’s typical homes. She 
drew on her distinguished acquaintances for 
authority, she went always to the very best 
source in the country for material, and we can 
say with conviction that “Planning Your 
Planting” is the most complete and most 
workable, yet the simplest help for gardeners 
we know!
