NOW—ABOUT THAT GARDEN 
Illustration from House & Garden 
You endure the winter. But you love the 
spring_warm, wet earth, crocuses like candle 
flames, and a hats-off wind! 
You begin to think gardenwise. But if you’re 
one of the initiated, you don't try to think solo. 
Even Father Adam couldn’t garden alone. No 
one man will ever learn all the dear, brown 
wrinkles on our Earth Mother’s face. The 
Spring Gardening 
Guide 
MARCH

tells you just what to plant—when, how, and how 
far apart to plant it—whether the miracle of your 
choice is to be shrub, flower, vegetable or fruit. 
The Spring Planting Tables are the result of years 
of experience and will tell you all that even the 
most amateur gardener needs to know. 
Then there’s a long talk on soils and how to im¬ 
prove them—the heavy soil, the acid soil, the sandy 
soil. And if you don’t know to which class your 
bit of earth belongs, there’s a series of simple tests 
that anyone can apply. Four pages are given up 
to Messrs. Cutworm, Celery-caterpillar & Co., hor¬ 
ticultural Huns, together with the way to fight them, 
and all insect pests and plant diseases. 
Swedish gardens—the loveliest you ever saw—two- 
inch sweet peas and how to grow them — and then 
the outdoor half of the magazine goes inside to 
learn all about the decorative value of heraldry, 
the vogue for oriental wall papers, the adaptability 
of Spanish furniture and the revival of hooked 
rugs. A full discussion of the new fabrics and their 
uses cap-sheafs a full magazine—a most wonderful 
quarter’s worth.
