THE GARDENER’S HOW BOOK 
By Chesla C. Sherlock 
Do your asters turn yellow? 
Are you planting dahlias at the 
best time? Do you know how 
to keep a lily pond fresh? These 
are the kinds of questions that 
Mr. Sherlock answers in this 
useful book on plants and gar¬ 
den flowers. Annuals, biennials, 
perennials, and bulbs are in¬ 
cluded in the scope of this book. Every gar¬ 
dener will find concise information and direc¬ 
tions on his chosen plants, and will find it 
given in convenient reference form. 351 pages. 
Illustrated. $3.50. 
PERENNIAL GARDENS 
By H. Stuart Ortloff 
More than a list of plants with 
directions for growing, this is a 
creative handbook of their uses. 
It gives you, in effect, the trained 
help of a landscape architect. 
Plans and planting lists include 
almost every conceivable kind of 
small garden, each one of which 
was actually planted and brought 
into flower before being included in the book. 
The summary of color principles is, we believe, 
the most usable ever offered. 
There are clear directions for preparing and 
fertilizing the soil, cultivating, watering, pest 
control, transplanting, propagation, and win¬ 
ter protection. Kinds and varieties of peren¬ 
nials for many different purposes are classified, 
with directions for selecting the desirable ones 
for any purpose. 92 pages, 18 illustrations. 
$1.25. 
ANNUALS IN THE GARDEN 
By H. Stuart Ortloff 
Includes many interesting 
suggestions for the use of these 
popular plants in the landscape 
scheme, by themselves and in 
combination with perennials, in 
the rock garden, in the border, 
for cutting, to follow bulbs, in 
window boxes, etc. It contains 
full instructions for growing an¬ 
nuals, sowing seed, transplanting, and care in 
the garden. It also includes summer-flower¬ 
ing blubs and biennials. It is illustrated with 
a frontispiece in color, four photographs, and 
seventeen interesting landscape plans with 
planting lists for using these popular flowers 
in the home-garden scheme. Cloth, 12mo. 
$1.25. 
WILD FLOWERS
