HOUSE AND GARDEN 
November, 1913 
NEW AUTUMN FICTION 
The Iron 
Trail 
BY 
REX BEACH 
The Way 
Home 
BY 
BASIC KING 
Arthor of “The Inman Shrine’ 
Of course you remember Kipling’s “If” about 
the man who could keep his head in every 
emergency. Well, here he is, the hero of Rex 
Beach's new Alaskan story. There were plenty 
of things to stand up against, too; other men’s 
scheming, lack of funds, storms, glaciers, and 
misrepresentation. But he won his fight against 
Nature as he won the heart of an unusual 
heroine. The scene of their wild wooing on the 
bridge threatened by the flood is more dramatic 
than anything the author has ever written. 
This new novel touches greater depths of 
human nature than even “The Street Called 
Straight.” It deals with the most important 
things of life, single life, married life, and church 
life, and portrays the inner motives of a self- 
centered man. It is the story of the struggle 
between the spiritual and the material in the 
average man — a series of tense emotional situa¬ 
tions in which a strong man who has far from 
being a hero found himself.

Admirers of this distinguished author’s talent will be glad to 
know that she has returned to the style which made “The Testing 
of Diana Mallory” such a delight. First it is a love story, with 
a heroine who will rank as Mrs. Ward’s most charming portrayal 
of young womanhood of to-day, then an absorbing representation 
of the dramatic struggle between the radical and aristocrat 
elements of present English society.

appiness 
The story of the turbulent lives of one man and 
one woman — separated by the barrier of the law, 
yet attached by something stronger than any 
law—stronger than themselves. A love story 
with a background of high idealism and prophecy 
of the future. Vivid personalities, a love story 
which reminds you of the great love stories of 
the world, and the invigorating breath of inter¬ 
national movements make this novel the most 
important fiction the author has yet done.

complex that Mr. Wells has ever created.” — 
London Athenaeum. 
BY KATE LANGLEY BOSHER 
There is a love story in this book, the wooing 
! of a charming girl by a splendid man; but it is 
the boy, Cricket, who wins the heart of every 
reader. Who that knows “Mary Cary” can 
forget her sweet, sunny nature? Cricket is 
surely kin to her. His cheerful outlook on life, 
no matter how dark the day, his loyalty, and his 
roguish drolleries combine to make him a 
delight. The lovers are sharply tried, but they 
rise to heights of self-sacrifice and devotion, and 
at last achieve, in their souls, “The House of 
Happiness.”

that if you can have only a few shrubs or 
trees you should plant these in worthy 
numbers, revel in their beauty in season, 
and live on the memories of them for the 
rest of the year. Leave the planting of 
the borders that will give blossoms from 
month to month to the spacious grounds of 
those who are not limited either by lack of 
means or space. 
Of the flowering trees that should be 
planted now, the most satisfactory will be, 
the dogwood; the Japanese cherry-blos¬ 
soms, Cerasus hortensis; flowering peach, 
Persica, double white, pink, and crimson; 
the flowering plum, Primus japonica; the 
crape myrtle, Lagerstroemia, white and 
pink. All of these are beautiful in their 
season and desirable and hardy through¬ 
out all the Southern States. The Persian 
purple-leaf plum, Primus pissardi, is the 
most desirable of the purple-leaved trees, 
and the maidenhair fern tree, Salisburia 
adiantifolia, or ginkgo, is beautiful from 
the first leafing in the early spring until its 
leaves are painted with October’s pot of 
gold. 
Of the shrubs, the list appended gives 
those which can be depended upon for 
blossoms in season and out of season and 
which will thrive without being an undue 
tax upon the gardener’s time. They are 
all beautiful. 
For January bloom, there is the Jas- 
minium nudidorum; February, the golden 
bell, Forsytkia viridissima; Cydonia jap¬ 
onica, the burning bush; fragrant honey¬ 
suckle, Lonicera fragrantissima, which is 
almost an evergreen; March, the early 
spireas, Prunifolia d. pi., Reevesiana, and 
Reevesiana d. pi.; the lilacs, syringa vul¬ 
garis; the Manchurian honeysuckle, L. 
Ruprechtiana; April, Japanese snowball, 
Viburnum plicatum; flowering crab, Pyrus 
doribunda; Tartarian honeysuckle, L. 
Tartarica; globe flower, Kerria japonica; 
early in May, Van Floutte’s spirea; mock 
orange, Philadelphus coronarius; later, 
the Deutsia gracilis; weigela, Diervilla 
dorida; the flowering pomegranates, Pu- 
nica granatum alba and rubra, are very 
showy June shrubs, with very beautiful 
foliage, and, for midsummer blossom, the 
altheas, Hibiscus syriacus, are most pleas¬ 
ing when planted in groups or as a hedge. 
The hydrangea, Arborescens gr. alba, is 
the earliest to come into bloom and lasts 
almost the entire summer. The hy¬ 
drangeas, monstrosa and Otaksa, are old 
favorites and generally known, and the 
paniculata grandidora deserves a place in 
every shrubbery border. 
Even though it is November and the 
year is in the sere and yellow leaf, we do 
well to cherish the summer blossoms that 
still brighten our gardens. My garden 
book shows that last year there were roses, 
zinnias, salvia, and chrysanthemums for 
cutting until late in December. Not just 
a few, but in quantity, even though the 
winter flowers, violets and tea-olive, were 
also in bloom. If the garden is still bar¬ 
ren of bulbs do not hesitate to put them
