A GARDEN IN THE SUBURBS 
FLOWERS AND GARDENS 
By Mrs. LESLIE WILLIAMS 
By FORBES WATSON 
With Eight Full-page Illustrations. I 2mo. Price 
$1.25 net. 
The best description that can be given of this little book is to 
say that it constitutes a chatty “vademecum” for the use or for 
the delight of the suburban gardener. The subject is treated of in 
months, for each month a chapter, and the following subjects are 
also dealt with separately : “My Greenhouse and Its Plants,” 
“About Buying Plants,” “On Lilies.” 
Edited with an Introduction by the Rev. Canon 
Ei.lacombe. With a photogravure portrait of the 
author. 12mo. Price $1.50. 
This work has been out of print for some time and its 
reappearance will be welcomed by those who know it, as well as 
by those who desire to become acquainted with it. The author’s 
tender love of Nature is an added charm to his intimate knowledge 
of her ways. 
STRAY LEAVES 
FROM A BORDER GARDEN 
By MARY PAMELA MILNE-HOLME 
With Eight Illustrations by F. L. B. Griggs. 121110. 
Price $1.50 net. 
This is one of those attractive “pot pourri” volumes on out¬ 
door subjects—garden-lore, bird-lore, folk-lore—a diary of facts and 
theories that “reads away” a pleasant hour or two with profit to 
the reader. 
GARDEN CRAFT, OLD AND NEW 
By JOHN D. SEDDING 
With Nine Illustrations. 8vo. Gilt Top. New 
Edition. Now for the first time published in America. 
Price $2.50 net. 
This is a book that treats of a subject much in vogue to-day— 
the laying out of gardens, formal and “architectural.” This is 
its first appearance in this country, though in England it is looked 
upon almost as a classic.
