House & Garden 
When you 
make 
Your Garden a Present 
H OW much do you really care about your 
garden? Do you go off in a corner with 
a large pad of manuscript paper and a seed 
catalogue and forget an important luncheon 
engagement and order everything that’s gran- 
diosa and multiflora? Do you get up sud¬ 
denly some spring day and rush out and buy 
a sundial or bird bath or a bench? Or are 
you one of those persons with the vision of 
Homer who knows instinctively that the best 
present you can make your garden is the 
House & Garden 
Book of 
Gardens 
now ready 
T HERE are more than 400 illustrations in 
this book. Every sort of garden is in it. The 
formal box-hedged and the splendid landscape 
variety, the common-or-garden garden, all full 
of work and affection and hardy annuals, and 
those twice beautiful gardens whose loveliness is 
mirrored in water. 
T HE Book of Gardens is full of suggestions 
for your garden. You will find in its pages 
practical ideas that you can work out—groupings 
of flowers, arrangements of paths, unusual plant¬ 
ing by garden pools, flagged terraces leading to 
long slopes of lawn. 
T HIS Book of Gardens is compiled from the 
finest garden photographs shown in House 
& Garden in the last five years. 
T HE articles are by authorities and every 
photograph represents the work of some well- 
known garden lover. The names and addresses 
of these contributors, over 50 of them, are listed 
in the back of the book. A complete planting 
and spraying table and gardener’s calendar for 
the entire year is also given. 
The Book of Gardens is first of all, a 
book to use in planning your garden— 
a handbook for garden lovers. Omar 
Khayyam would have bought one!
