House & Garden 
IN THE NOVEMBER NUMBER 
N OVEMBER is the ideal month to begin 
planning a house. By then the garden 
work is well past, autumn furnishing is 
completed and, if you happen to be dreaming of 
a new home, November is the month in which to 
crystallize those vague desires into something 
tangible. Consequently the November issue is 
called the House Planning Number, and much 
of it is devoted to planning the new house in¬ 
side and out. 
Through the letters that come to the House & 
Garden Information Service we find that the 
majority of our readers are interested in build¬ 
ing four types of houses—Dutch Colonial, 
Georgian, English cottage and Spanish. What 
sort of plans can be suited to these designs? 
One of the articles in the November issue shows 
that quite a variety can be adapted to each. 
Today many architectural crimes are being 
committed in the name of the Bungalow. To 
help lessen this crime wave we are discussing 
bungalows and the adaptability of the one-floor 
plan to a good design. 
The garage plays an important role in all mod¬ 
ern house design. Sometimes it is incorporated 
in the house itself, sometimes it is a separate 
structure. Both types are shown in the next 
issue. 
Into the planning of a new house go such 
structural and decorative elements as iron work, 
shutters, inside window trim, labor-saving kitch¬ 
ens and the proper use of stains and enamels. 
These, again, are represented in November. 
Then, to make the story complete, the land¬ 
scaping article will be devoted to designs for 
gardens on a variety of sites—flat land, a steep 
hillside and such. 
There are, in all, six complete houses in the 
November issue—a New York town house with 
remarkable parge decorations, a Norman type 
from Pennsylvania, a Colonial bungalow, a cot¬ 
tage type of brick, a popular Colonial design and 
an English seashore home of unusual plan. 
For the inside of the house there is a charm¬ 
ing article on the use of occasional chairs. Black 
and white as a color scheme is considered, and, 
of course, the Little Portfolio of Good Interiors 
is there. For the gardener comes a study of un¬ 
common shrubs and, if he wants the unusual, a 
roof garden in New York. 
The French influence on Amer¬ 
ican architecture has found ex¬ 
pression in this Norman type 
of country house, shown in the 
November number
