House & Garden 
Does Your House 
Breathe? 
H ERE'S a garden that just 
couldn’t be made—and so it 
was. It’s the loveliest vista in a New 
York apartment, built on a roof, sky- 
high over the roaring streets, open 
to all the breezes that blow across 
Manhattan. 
B ROKEN flags make the path¬ 
way—evergreens fill the gar¬ 
den spaces under the painted bricks 
—an Italian fountain and quaint 
wrought-iron lanterns lend charac¬ 
ter, and, thanks to this little sophis¬ 
ticated bit of nature, the whole house 
breathes. 
The Fall Planting Number 
OCTOBER 
HOUSE & GARDEN 
will solve your garden problems for you, no matter how diffi¬ 
cult they are. Beginning with an article on the winter garden, 
there is an outdoors section of the magazine that includes “an 
evening garden of fragrance”, the rock garden and its making, 
and those invaluable pages of Fall Planting Tables that are 
worth a year’s subscription all by their useful selves. 
And if by any chance your particular garden o’ dreams isn’t 
to be found between the covers, you can write to the Infor¬ 
mation Service that lives to plan pathways for other folk to 
walk on, and plant shade trees for other folk’s grand-children 
to take tea under. And lo—it’s yours! 
Indoors, the October Number considers French wall furniture, 
white panelled walls, couch-end tables, and dining room 
accessories, besides devoting its usual section to the kitchen 
and its problems. There is a page, too, on how to cut out 
curtains, and another on how mouldings are made. There 
are three houses shown in detail,—an Italian house, an En¬ 
glish cottage, and one of those always-welcome small houses. 
Midas couldn’t have made a garden, for all 
the gold he had. A garden doesn’t need 
money so much as loving—and knowing how. 
Read October House & Garden and see why. 
If you have a garden—you’ll want this Fall Planting Number. If yon haven’t 
a garden—you need it. But you won’t get it unless you reserve it in advance.
