A Glimpse of the Frontispiece of the 
March House & Garden 
THE GARDENING GUIDE 
<| To get a hundred per cent of fun and profit 
from gardening you need to follow the most 
efficient methods, and those methods are ex¬ 
plained in the March House & Garden. 
<1 Arthur Christopher Benson opens the pages 
with one of his inimitable essays on life in the 
garden. He is followed by articles on starting 
the garden indoors, cane fruits, strawberries, 
making garden paths and selecting the best veg¬ 
etables. Three pages are devoted to planting 
and spraying tables. Two to farming. Two to 
moving large trees. Besides this are shown 
Colonial doorways, a page of gardening aids, 
a collector’s article on maiolica ware, and 
houses of rare individuality. For the city 
dweller is an article on “Creating the Sense of 
Space in a Small Room.” For the out-of-town 
reader two pages of articles from the shops. 
These are a few of the twenty-two articles 
scheduled for March. 
«J It is interesting to note that the Poetry So¬ 
ciety of America voted the Don Marquis poem 
in the January issue the best printed poem in 
the January magazines. “March Night,” by 
Harry Kemp, will appear next.
