A Book That Will 
Solve Your 
Building Problems 
Distinctive Homes of Moderate Cost 
Edited by HENRY H. SAYLOR 
C This book has been published in response to an ever-increasing demand for 
a volume of pictures, plans and descriptions of the most charming homes in 
this country- — not the great estates and show places, but the sort of places 
that most of us can look forward to building, ranging in cost from $3,000 to 
$20,000. 
JT The illustrations, of which there are more than three hundred, both of the 
^-exteriors of houses and their garden settings, and of the principal rooms inside, 
are all from photographs of houses already built, reproduced in superb half¬ 
tone engravings, with line drawings of the floor plans. 
C The carefully selected contents include country homes, seashores cottages, allur¬ 
ing bungalows, inexpensively remodeled farmhouses, etc. All the desirable 
architectural styles are represented: Colonial, English Half-timber, Stucco, 
Cement, Dutch Colonial (the gambrel roof type), Swiss Chalet, etc. Chapters 
written by authorities cover all sides of the fascinating problem of house¬ 
building, interior decoration and furnishing. The relations between the home¬ 
builder and his architect, the matter of plans, specifications, contracts, the 
puzzling problem of extras and how to avoid them — all these subjects are clarified in 
a most comprehensive and interesting way. Throughout the text are many pages of 
_ pictures illustrating constructive, decora¬ 
tive and furnishing details — entrance door¬ 
ways, bay windows, outside shutters, chim¬ 
neys, stairways, dormer windows, built-in 
china-cupboards, consistently furnished in¬ 
teriors, porches — all grouped so that the 
reader may, at a glance, compare all the 
best types.

IF YOU ARE A BEGINNER IN GARDENING 
YOU PARTICULARLY WILL APPRECIATE 
The Garden Primer 
By Grace Tabor and Gardner Teall 
(11 The Garden Primer is a hand-book of practical gardening information for the 
ell beginner, covering every branch of the subject from preparing the soil to the 
gathering of the fruit and flowers. _ In it is set forth, without any confusing techni¬ 
calities, just the information that will enable the amateur to grasp quickly the essen¬ 
tials of garden-making. The authors, in preparing this book, have drawn from their 
long experience, and in writing it assume on the part of the reader no knowledge of 
the subject, in order that it may be of the greatest value to the beginner. There has 
been great need of a book of this kind, yet, so far as we know, no volume has ever 
been published that treats the subject in this charmingly simple way. While dealing 
with first principles this volume has an equal interest for the advanced gardener, who 
will find much of value in the experiences of the authors, and in a fresh presentation 
of a subject which always abounds in new methods and discoveries.

Notable New Books for Home 
Builders and Gardeners 
Here at last is a book that covers in the 
most practical and comprehensive way the 
whole subject of bungalow building and fur¬ 
nishing. It tells what a bungalow is and how 
it has been applied to American needs, par¬ 
ticularly for summer homes, camps, mountain 
shacks and the various other types. The mat¬ 
ters of planning and building materials are 
thoroughly discussed and illustrated. The 
interior finish is another branch of the sub¬ 
ject that is taken up, together with schemes 
for furnishing. The book is profusely illus¬ 
trated with plans and photographs of bun¬ 
galows that have actually been built — there 
are no mere drawings or visionary schemes in 
it. This is the first adequate book on the 
subject that has been done.

The Landscape Gardening Book 
By Grace Tabor 
There have been many books published 
within the past few years on gardening, but 
most of these have dealt with the cultural 
side exclusively. The larger subject embrac¬ 
ing the whole setting of the country or sub¬ 
urban home, particularly one of moderate 
size, has apparently been ignored. The author 
of THE LANDSCAPE GARDENING 
BOOK, Miss Grace Tabor, who is a well known 
landscape architect, has written the one book 
that clears up the whole difficult problem of 
making a house seem at home in its site. 
In short, this is the one essential book for 
the man who would have his home, house and 
grounds, something more than a mere build¬ 
ing set on the earth. The illustrations are 
superb half-tone reproductions from repre¬ 
sentative gardens and homes, together with 
practical diagrams and planting plans. 
Bound in dark blue cloth, stamped in gold and with

Home Vegetable Gardening 
By F. F. Rockwell 
There are many books that treat of vegetable gar¬ 
dening. fruit growing and the like in an encyclopaedic 
way. They tell what vegetables there are, what pests 
are liable to attack them and so on, but they usually 
give far too much information for the man who wants 
to establish a vegetable garden on his own country 
place or suburban lot for the family use. The author, 
Mr. F. F. Rockwell, is a practical gardener himself. 
He realizes from long experience just what the average 
layman wants to know in order to raise a successful 
and varied crop of vegetables. Here is the one com¬ 
plete yet concise book on home vegetable gardening 
that includes as well the equally important subjects 
of growing berries and fruit. The book is uniform in 
size and binding with THE GARDEN PRIMER, but 
much thicker.
