Do you know all the secrets of the last rites of the gar¬ 
den?—the corn stalks for the roses, the lime for the soil, 
the mulching, the vegetable trenching, the salt for your 
Christmas lettuce, the bulbs that go into the earth to live 
on their own brown bones for the winter? 
House & Garden was the first magazine to get action pictures 
of the garden—real step-by-step guides on how to do, what 
you ought to do, and just the results you’ll get. House & 
Garden still has the choice of this action-picture market. It 
takes a year to produce a single series of these pictures; 
House & Garden has scores of series; and is always working 
on new ideas for you—a year ahead. 
Fall Planting Number 
OCTOBER 
House & Garden 
It isn't money that makes the garden successful; 
it isn't even work alone. It's knowing how. Read 
October House & Garden and you'll see why this is so. 
35 cents a copy 
After September first, you cannot buy magazines at newsstands unless you have 
reserved them in advance. Tell your newsdealer to save you a copy 
of this Fall Planting Guide now; otherwise you will be disappointed.

This isn’t any of your Douglas Fairbankses, posed especially 
for House & Garden. It’s a real gardener putting his roses to 
bed in corn stalks,—just as you’re planning to do—if you’re a 
real know-how gardener. If not — don’t you need House & 
Garden to come and stay with you during the fall? 
will contain some of the best of these garden movies—as 
practical as a hoe and as clear as the green house roof- 
shown in connection with those wonderful Fall Planting 
Tables worked out for you by experts with years of experi¬ 
ence. The whole question of fall planting is taken up in a 
rather radical article; bulbs, too—when, where, how to plant 
them; vistas in the garden; a page of photographs on storing 
vegetables; a lovely medium-sized country house hid away 
among trees. 
Then, because we can’t live in the garden all the time, even 
if we wanted to, there are indoor articles—three pages of 
dining rooms with everything priced for the war-time budget; 
two pages of exquisite French fabrics for hangings; a four¬ 
teenth century Italian house transplanted to New England; 
a southern house domesticated in Oregon; and then—just to 
show the breadth of our mutual interests—we’re planning to 
enjoy together a leisurely chat on collecting old Worcester, 
and a severely practical series of kitchen arrangements for 
Hooverizing the steps of the housekeeper.
