A Row of House & Garden Books 
October already! 
Work in the garden 
grows less. Before the 
month ceases it will 
dwindle down to next 
to nothing. 
Then is the time to 
turn to the row of 
house and garden 
books, to read up for 
gardening next year, 
and refurnishing or 
rebuilding this. Take 
them as they come— 
the gardening books 
first, then the decora¬ 
tion, then those on 
architectural subjects. 
Those who read that 
serial, “The Naturaliz¬ 
ing of a City Man,” 
in House & Garden 
two years ago will un¬ 
doubtedly welcome 
these stories in their 
present permanent 
form, “The Key to the 
Land” (.Harpers).

Albert D. Taylor, occupies a place 
that is as unique as it is important. 
Our standard landscaping books give 
much detailed information about de¬ 
sign, special effects, planting opera¬ 
tions, etc., but we know of no one 
of them which furnishes adequate, 
compact lists of plants grouped for 
every variety of soil, situation and 
purpose. Mr. Taylor’s little book 
fills this need, and as a supplement 
to the more complete and general 
volumes and large nurserymen’s cat¬ 
alogues, it is well worth possessing. 
“The Garden Bluebook,” by Lei¬ 
cester B. Holland (Doubleday, Page 
& Co.), is a book that is at once a 
manual of reference for the peren¬ 
nial flower enthusiast and a record 
of his own particular garden. One 
hundred and sixty-nine kinds of 
plants are illustrated and described, 
and opposite each photograph are two 
blank forms which the gardener can 
fill out each year with notes on his 
own experience with the flower in 
question. Thus he comes to know

we have grown accustomed to. 
The 
STANLEY GARAGE

is such a necessity. It is an arm of steel hold¬

leaves them free to close.
