Holland — graphically depicted, with real¬ 
ism, forcefulness, and humor. To read this 
latest addition to The Blue Books of Travel 
is to know the country as well as to know 
about it. The author pictures the land and 
the people — they are motion pictures, full 
of color. The creak of the long-armed 
windmills and the clatter of the wooden 
shoes over block pavements sound through 
its pages. The little country below the sea 
has never before been so adequately and so 
interestingly presented.

Those to whom the English half-timber 
style appeals as the ideal of a home want to 
know all the details regarding that style— 
a guide to prevent their making any mis¬ 
takes of style or construction. Here is the 
book written just for those people, illus¬ 
trated with magnificent photographs show¬ 
ing old half-timber work and some of the 
most successful American adaptations. But 
the book is not for them alone. For anyone 
about to build it will give invaluable sug¬ 
gestions regarding planning. Incidentally, 
it is a book with real charm. 
LET’S MAKE A FLOWER

If in springtime it is a satisfaction to put 
on your old clothes, get out a spade, and 
turn over damp clods of reawakening soil, 
you will find this book necessary to the 
proper enjoyment of life and, incidentally, 
the correct cultivation of your garden. It 
stands alone in being a wonderfully devised 
combination of the most vigorous inspira¬ 
tion with a wealth of sound gardening in¬ 
formation that one assimilates unconscious¬ 
ly while being delightfully entertained. It 
is a book full of a rare charm, especially in 
that it is so human.

carefully discussed. This is the most practical 
book on the subject ever published.
