House & Garden 
FALL PLANTING IN OCTOBER 
Y OU can tell a real gardener by the fact that 
his gardening enthusiasm has a second 
blooming in the autumn. Almost everyone 
gets out and digs in the spring, and yet there is a 
powerful lot of digging to be done in the autumn if 
you want a successful garden next year. By plant¬ 
ing now several months are saved and you have a 
cleaner slate to begin with next spring. If House & 
Garden could only initiate its hundred thousand 
readers into the goodly habit of autumn planting, 
the gardens of America would make incalculable 
progress. That is the purpose of the October issue. 
It is edited with a view to giving gardeners a re¬ 
newal of their gardening enthusiasm. 
If you are contemplating some landscape work 
you will want to read the article on how to lay out 
an approach to your house, study the views of the 
remarkable California gardens, consider the contri¬ 
bution on how to lay garden paths and the pages on 
the principles of landscape design. In addition to 
these are articles on how to grow bulbs indoors, on 
the method of planting an English garden, on the 
covering capacity of vines, on a city backyard gar¬ 
den, on the flowers to grow in the greenhouse this 
winter, and, of course, the fall planting table with 
its explanation of how to do this planting. 
Among the delightful houses to be 
shown in the October issue is this 
restored and remodeled Pennsyl¬ 
vania farmhouse 
While this work is going on outdoors there is a 
continuation of autumn furnishing inside the house. 
Those who take up this interior work in October 
will find in the suggestions pages of mantel fixtures, 
of new glassware, of rugs, tassels and the Little 
Portfolio of Good Interiors. The Portfolio in Oc¬ 
tober is devoted to views of a small country house 
furnished in simple, livable taste. 
Nor are the interests of the prospective house¬ 
builder neglected in this issue. We will show four 
houses with plans—one large design in half-timber 
and three smaller suggestions. There will also be 
an article on patios and a practical discussion of 
paints. To make the house-building measure full 
to overflowing, we show how an old Pennsylvania 
farmhouse, on the verge of decay and collapse, was 
restored and enlarged to a beautiful all-year resi¬ 
dence. If you are going to build suggestions such 
as these are invaluable. 
In this October number there will also begin a 
monthly page conducted by Ruby Ross Goodnow, 
a page of suggestions from this well-known decor¬ 
ator which will be welcomed both by those who 
plan to have a decorator assist them in the furnish¬ 
ing of their homes, or who wish to do it themselves.
