FIGHTING GARDEN PESTS 
One of the most practical handbooks in this series 
dealing with a subject about which an amateur gardener 
knows very little. The instructions are given in the 
simplest language, and no one can make a mistake if the 
directions are carefully followed. This little handbook 
includes a table of insects and diseases, with methods of 
control, and also contains a final page of spraying memor¬ 
andum for personal use, and complete spraying-table. 
PLANTING THE HOME GROUNDS 
One of the most complete treatises on the subject, con¬ 
tained in a small compass, ever written. Nothing like it 
has ever been published. As a guide for planting the 
home grounds, it is alone worth the price of the whole set. 
This handbook is uniform with the others, is fully illus¬ 
trated, and covers the subject completely. 
MAKING A BULB-GARDEN

other varieties. A table of cultural requirements, as well 
as a planting-table, are also included.
