GARDEN PLANNING NUMBER 
By planning your garden in January and 
February, you save time and labor in March 
and April. Lay out your campaign now, and 
you will be ready to proceed with it just as 
soon as weather and soil permit outdoor 
work. For that reason the Garden Planning 
Number will be invaluable. Every conceiv¬ 
able kind of garden is considered, amply 
explained and clearly illustrated. Thus, in 
“The Vegetable Garden to Fit Your Table” 
you have laid out a plan whereby you can 
raise just enough vegetables for your family, 
whether there are five or eight members. 
CONDE NAST, PUBLISHER 
In “How Will Your Garden Grow?” flowers 
are considered in the same manner—the kind 
of flowers to suit your tastes and time. 
There is a “Green and White Garden” for 
the woman who likes color succession, and a 
collection of garden fences and walls show¬ 
ing details of treatment. The pergola is also 
included in this list of garden plans. 
<1 For the man interested in houses are two 
of more than passing interest—a restored 
farmhouse showing before and after pic¬ 
tures, and a moderate priced house designed 
by Frank Chouteau Brown. For the collec¬ 
tor of antiques and curios are pages on 
pewter and coral medallions and wrought 
iron wares. For the home decorator, three 
pages of distinctive interiors. For the men 
and women who are interested in community 
development are two articles: “How to Form 
and Manage a Garden Club,” and the story 
of how one western city cleaned up its yards 
and made them gorgeous with flowers. 
<1 These glimpses give an earnest of what 
is to come in the February House & Garden. 
The reality of its pages will exceed even the 
most sanguine expectation.
