THE SPRING BUILDING NUMBER 
It looks as though prosperity had come home 
to roost. Money is cheap and the builders have 
been revived. The time to think of your sum¬ 
mer home is now. That is why the April House 
& Garden is devoted to Spring Building. 
<1 As there are twenty-six articles in that is¬ 
sue—four more than hitherto—only a mention 
of their names is possible : Fashions in Country 
House Architecture, Planning a House by the 
Compass, Kitchens for the Summer Home, The 
Modern Gladiolus, Making New Gardens, The 
Small Book Room, Ornamental Birds, Fox Ter¬ 
riers, Shrubs for the Small Place, A Little Port¬ 
folio of Good Interiors, Gardening for the Kid¬ 
dies, Houses with Their Backs to the Street, 
American Handicraft Lace, and—well a lot of 
others. This means a larger magazine with a fresh 
source of inspiration at every turn of the page. 
<J Readers of House & Garden who are ac¬ 
customed to buying their copies on the news¬ 
stands had better put in their orders ahead of 
time. The December and January editions were 
completely exhausted and many readers forced 
to do without.
