THE SCHOOL OF HOUSE 
& GARDEN 
T he first six issues of House & Garden arc 
a gradual procession from the inside of the 
house to the outside. 
In January, furniture for the house; in Febru¬ 
ary vve build the house; in March we plan the 
garden; in April decoration is talked about; May 
finds us considering furnishings for the summer; 
and June takes us out of doors and we see how 
to furnish the garden. 
July turns to small houses and August to house¬ 
hold equipment. By September we go indoors 
for autumn furnishing and October brings Indian 
Summer and Fall Planting. By November, with 
winter pretty well under way, we have time to 
stay indoors again and think about house plan¬ 
ning. December brings us the Christmas house 
—and the year is completed. 
In these twelve issues a reader is able to ac¬ 
quire a comprehensive knowledge of all the things 
that go toward the making, maintenance and 
enjoyment of a house and its grounds. 
You go to school for a year’s course in inspira¬ 
tion and practical knowledge. The classes are big 
and the teachers many. People come back to 
this school year after year. There must be a rea¬ 
son. Perhaps some of that reason can be found 
in the attractive plans made for the June num¬ 
a view from the June issue 
ber. June is sufficient, although we could also 
talk of July and .August. 
June is the garden furnishing issue. It con¬ 
siders the use of statuary in the garden—as ex¬ 
plained by a well-known landscape architect. It 
considers garden benches and summer-houses and 
tea in a garden to delight the hostess, and old 
gardening books for the collector and bird cages 
and flower baskets for the garden and gardens 
large and small. A whole course in landscaping 
in one issue! 
There are also three delightful houses—a re¬ 
modeled farmhouse, home of a prominent archi¬ 
tect, a small English country house, and a re¬ 
markable example of a town-and-country house 
for a small city. 
The collector will be interested in the history 
of the highboy, and the lover of pets in the re¬ 
markable pictures of cats. The household man¬ 
ager will find valuable information in the article 
on ironing machinery and the decorator in the 
Little Portfolio and the designs for the com¬ 
pletion of hallways. 
And so it goes—a constant and delightful 
course in all those things that make and keep a 
home beautiful. This is the school of House & 
Garden.
