FALL 
PLANTING 
A peep into the October issue- 
with personality 
-a hallway 
The greatest gardening short-cut is fall 
planting, and the October number will show 
you how to take it and save several months’ 
work next spring. It will tell how to plant 
bulbs and perennials and all those other 
varieties which are better for their sleep 
under the blanket of snow. Dahlias, too, 
will be considered, and you will have a 
clear exposition of what a mulch is and 
how to use it on the garden this fall. 
•J For the reader who is refurnishing will 
come pages of suggestive ideas—“A Plea 
for Personality in Rooms,” “The Decora¬ 
tive Fireplace,” notes on the furniture and 
background of the Pre-Georgian Period, 
and the usual Little Portfolio of Good In¬ 
teriors which so many readers say they 
find invaluable. 
q For the prospective builder are two small 
houses of interesting design and moderate 
cost, a remodeled suburban home, and a 
large city house of merit. 
€J In short, October will be 41 busy pages 
crammed with interesting ideas artistically 
portrayed.
