THE STORY OF 
FALL 
PLANTING 
W AR garden work, into which 
most of us entered with so much 
enthusiasm this spring, must be 
continued next year and possibly many 
years after that. In fact, if the lessons 
learned from this experience are valued 
at all, the gardening habit will become 
universal. Every gardener appreciates 
the short cut to good crops and is will¬ 
ing to take advantage of methods which 
will save time and yield sturdy plants. 
Fall Planting is one of the secrets, and 
that is why we have devoted an issue 
to the subject. 
The story is given in tabloid form in 
two planting tables, a gardener’s kalen¬ 
dar and nine explanatory articles on 
various phases of planting at this time. 
These cover both the flower and the 
vegetable situation, not to mention 
shrubs and a number of other phases of 
gardening. Both outdoor and indoor 
planting is completely described; in short, the story is told you in the 
most practical way possible. There are other gardening articles too. 
One especially will prove of interest. It is on Southern gardens. And 
they do have some gardens in the South. 
For the interior decorator and the woman who is just planning her

winter home there are many pages of 
brisk, bright, newsy material. The ar¬ 
ticle on how to buy furniture will give 
you a working knowledge of furniture 
merchandise. The article on making 
batik puts the whole process down in 
complete form. Framing pictures, 
rooms with a difference, a bedroom in 
black and white, new types of lacquer 
furniture, the decoration of the guest 
room, the variety of ceilings, new kinds 
of rooms in The Little Portfolio—the 
list is almost interminable. 
The prospective builder will find the 
three houses to be hand-picked for his 
every need. Here are a large house and 
two small country residences designed by 
architects whose names are known the 
country over. The collector’s article in 
October will be on war cartoons, a timely 
subject and one of great interest. 
A new feature begins in this issue, a 
feature for the busy' man or woman who wants to get his facts in the 
shortest possible time. Thirty Facts About Color is the beginning of 
a seiies of one page articles which will give a survey of some things 
most of us do not know regarding architecture, decoration and gar¬ 
dening.
