Does Your 
Gardener 
Work Miracles? 
Could he transplant meadow 
rue from the fields and make 
it grow above your head be¬ 
hind the bluebells on the edge 
of your garden? Do Solo¬ 
mon’s seal and mountain ash 
hang their flower and fruit 
between a dark pine wood 
and your thick lawns? 
Why not? They do it in 
Bar Harbor. 
You can see them in ten 
lovely photographs of the 
beautiful gardens that blos¬ 
som in the garden island of 
Mt. Desert, shown in the

Spring Gardening Guide 
MARCH 
House (S’ Garden 
"YOU can't look at those gardens without wanting to 
start work on your own garden—snow or not. 
And the practical Gardening Guide will tell you what 
you can actually begin to do now. 
But your garden is too small for all this gorgeousness 
you say? Never mind! There are plenty of sugges¬ 
tions for you in this number. The four oleanders that 
accent the flower beds centered around a sun-dial, the 
effective use of lavender flowers, with pale pink and 
yellow ones, the planting of poplars to hide what is 
beyond them—all these are for the small gardener. 
AND if your garden doesn't need you for the mo¬ 
ment, your house surely does. There’s a room 
that needs new curtains—and a page in this number 
that shows decorative hangings for all sorts of win¬ 
dows, even the difficult round one. 
Porcelain birds, Irish silver, early American pottery; 
the things the decorators use and the dilettanti talk 
about—they’re in this number too. Whether your 
mantel wants a pair of porcelain cockatoos, or your 
garden needs a new hardy border, you want this 
number the moment it’s out. 
This is a number to make you feel homesick in the Garden of Allah !
