GARDENING GUIDE 
Edson’s series on the whole story 
of the gardening game; to other 
pages setting forth the facts about 
how and why to grow_ dwarf fruit 
trees, mushrooms, making new gar¬ 
dens, the best salad plants, and early 
gardening under glass. And for a 
complete and concise summing up 
of the whole situation, there will 
be the three packed pages ivhich, un¬ 
der the title House & G.arden’s 
Gardening Guide, have attained the 
dignity of an institution. 
Of course, there are a lot of other 
features in th.is March number. The 
collector will find some surprises in 
\vhat Gardner Teall says about old- 
time desks. Williams Haynes writes 
on Great Danes, and the house field 
is ably covered by articles on slip 
covers, an ideal apartment, conveni¬ 
ent devices, and the Little Portfolio 
Tulip of Good Interiors—to mention a few. 
Grace In short, the next issue embodies just what the name House 
I). R. & Garden —with special emphasis on the “garden”—connotes.

THE RED GODS AND 
T he Red Gods of the Garden 
are making their medicine 
again. Already their influ¬ 
ence is manifest in the renewed 
preparations for the coming season 
which began with the new year’s 
crop of catalogs and passed through 
the prescribed stages of selecting 
and ordering the seeds and assem¬ 
bling the flats and planting materials. 
Another month, and the Great Time 
will be at hand. 
We have been working hand-in¬ 
glove with these Red Gods of the 
Garden. They liave been co-operat¬ 
ing with us for months, and the 
results of our combined efforts are 
embodied in the Alarch issue, the 
annual Spring Gardening Guide. 
There is no more popular and 
better known a writer on flower 
gardening than Mrs. Francis King, 
and you are going to like her splendid article on The 
Garden. After you have read that, you can turn to 
Tabor’s rhododendron monograph; to the second of
