I T^ROM a very modest beginning, seven years ago, this little book has become the indispensable handbook and pocket encyclopedia of thousands of 
1 gardeners throughout the United States, and we think that Henderson’s Gardfn 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 countless 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 known 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 (5x8H inches), has a waterproof cover, and has this year been enlarged to 96 pages, including a complete index and 
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 encourage 
a studious attitude in the garden.
