HENDERSON’S 
New Garden Guide and Record for 1918 
_ REVISED, AND BROUGHT UP-TO-DATE _ 
BMTPrice 25c. or FREE WITH EVERY ORDER amounting to $2.00 or over, if asked for when ordering"^*^ 
F ROM a very modest beginning, seven years ago, this little book has become the indispensable handbook and pocket encyclopedia 
of thousands of gardeners throughout the United States, and we think that Henderson’s Garden Guide contains more 
essential information, is more simple in style and form, easier of reference, and more complete than many works much more 
pretentious in character. In a measure, our customers have contributed to its contents, for a great deal of the information given 
has been suggested by the numerous questions put to us daily over our counters, so that the Garden Guide is essentially an attempt 
to anticipate and solve the problems which confront both the novice and the experienced gardener. Originally designed for the 
amateur and containing only the most elementary information, it has gradually grown to be more inclusive, so that it now embraces 
almost every phase of ordinary garden craft. This growth has by no means robbed it of its simplicity, but has rather extended its 
usefulness to a greater number of gardeners. 
It is of convenient pocket size (5x8# inches), has a waterproof cover, and 64 pages of text, including a complete index. Also 
12 pages, one for every month, for noting phenomena, dates and other items of interest. These not only greatly enhance its value, 
but suggest and encou rage an observant attitude in the garden. __
