An Indispensable Book 
for every Garden-Maker 
The Garden Primer 
By Grace Tabor and Gardner Teall 
d The Garden Primer, as its title indicates, is 
j) a hand-book of practical gardening informa¬ 
tion for the beginner, covering every branch of 
the subject, from preparing the soil to the gather¬ 
ing of the fruit and flowers. In it is set forth, 
without any confusing technicalities, just the in¬ 
formation that will enable the amateur to grasp 
quickly the essentials 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 gardner, 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 dis¬ 
coveries. 
fit Every branch of gardening is treated in a delight- 
jJ fully practical way—the growing of vegetables 
and flowers, the use of fertilizers, pruning, culti¬ 
vating, spraying and the thousand-and-one things 
that every successful garden-maker needs to know. 
A profusion of illustrations, many of them of the 
most practical sort in explaining the various gar¬ 
den operations, make the text especially clear. 
(11 The matter is supplemented by carefully pre- 
ul pared planting tables, an invaluable guide to 
the beginner in gardening. 
The Garden Primer is a beautiful i2mo volume 
with many half-tone illustrations. Bound in dark 
green cloth, tastefully decorated. $i. net; postage 6c.

BUNGALOWS ^ By Henry H. Saylor 
H ERE at last is a book that covers in the most practical and comprehensive way 
the whole subject of bungalow building and furnishing, with a profusion of 
pictures of successful bungalows and their interior arrangements. The author, 
an architect himself, points out the advantages of the bungalow type of house, shows 
how it originated, and how it has been applied to fit American needs. The matters 
of planning and building materials are thoroughly covered; the subject of interior 
finish is also taken up, together with schemes for furnishing that are in harmony with 
the informal and comfortable character of the building. The fireplace, too, always 
an important feature, is thoroughly discussed, as well as such essential features in 
the completion of a successful bungalow as water supply and drainage. 
The pictures and plans in which the book abounds are of the various types of 
bungalows—those adapted for all-the-year-around occupancy, for summer homes, moun¬ 
tain camps, and the seashore. The many superb pictures forming the illustrative feat¬ 
ures are of bungalows that have actually been built, and are the work of leading 
architects in various parts of the country. They have been carefully selected, so as 
to prove of the greatest value to the prospective builder of this fascinating type of 
moderate-priced house. 
BUNGALOWS is the first adequate book on the subject that has been done.
