FALL PLANTING NEXT MONTH 
T O the sincere gardener there is always an 
available future. Autumn comes, the flower? 
die down and Nature goes to rest. It is a 
season of reflection. It is also a season of 
great activity in the garden. The mistakes of this 
year can be rectified in the year to come. The 
neglected corner can be made to blossom next 
spring. Next year we will do better by that 
border. Next year! Next year! Every good 
gardener is thinking of next year. 
And yet much of this year’s mistakes can be 
rectified now. From the earliest day of next 
spring many of this season’s errors will be recti¬ 
fied. The secret, of course, is fall planting. Start 
the changes now, and you will have no regrets 
next year. 
This whole subject of fall planting is so im¬ 
portant that we devote an issue to it. Both the 
practical data and the inspirational suggestions 
are in this issue. It is an issue the gardener will 
want to study thoroughly and keep on hand in 
his fall work. 
But that is only one phase of the magazine, 
although the most important. You turn from 
articles about the autumn garden, about Fall 
Planting Tables and instructions on planting roses 
In the October number Mrs. 
Francis King writes of this old 
English garden 
in the fall, to the delicious attic that was made 
into a dormitory for a bachelor, to the page of 
enclosed porches furnished for winter use, to the 
unusual halls and the shopping suggestions that 
are as tempting as a Fifth Avenue shop window 
on an autumn morning. 
There are two rather unusual houses in this 
j ssue — an old one from New England, done in the 
Adam manner, and a new one for a suburb, a 
clever solution for a narrow lot. Both are excel¬ 
lent pieces of architecture, which means that they 
should be full of suggestions for the prospective 
house builder. 
The household equipment pages are no less 
packed with suggestions. Here is an article on 
the bathroom, showing the latest fixtures, the 
most modern conveniences, and with the neces¬ 
sary data that one should know before purchasing 
fixtures. There is also an equally illuminating 
page on the laundry and one on household man¬ 
agement. 
So this is the gamut of the Fall Planting Num¬ 
ber, a compact and busy little book. It behooves 
you to order it now from your newsdealer, be¬ 
cause the paper shortage is playing havoc with 
the supply.
