House & Garden 
This is a glimpse of one of the 
beautiful gardens shown in 
the March Gardening 3 Guide 
W ITH the seedsmen's cat¬ 
alogs flooding in, it 
would almost seem that 
Spring is here. And yet, unless 
you are pachyderm to catalogs, 
Spring is already here for the 
true gardener—Spring in the 
mind. Plans are furiously be¬ 
ing brought to completion, for 
the true gardener believes in pre¬ 
paredness. When the first 
warm days of Spring arrive he 
is ready for his annual plunge 
into garden work. Because we 
believe in helping the gardener 
prepare, we issue the Spring 
Gardening Guide in a March 
issue which reaches our readers 
before February has passed. 
The issue opens up with a 
fanfare for roses, in the de¬ 
scription of the Roserie at l'Hay, 
France, the greatest rose garden 
in the world. The text and 
illustrations are by J. N. C. 
Forestier, internationally known 
for the beautiful gardens he has 
created in France, Spain and 
Belgium, for his work on the 
Gardens of the Bagatelle, and 
for his labors as head of the 
park system of Paris. 
Following this comes a gar¬ 
den in Connecticut, one of the 
most complete and beautiful 
creations we have seen for a 
long time. Its landscape archi¬ 
tect w-as James L. Greenleaf. 
An international flavor will 
further be given by a London 
garden and by the remarkable 
model and photographs of the

In addition to these will be an 
article on fifty good shrubs and 
how to use them; planting plans 
and directions for making per¬ 
ennial borders; the Spring Gar¬ 
dening Guide which contains 
full instructions for the seasonal 
work in the garden; a contri¬ 
bution on zinnias; one on vege¬ 
tables; one on soil preparation; 
and two pages showing remark¬ 
ably beautiful examples of 
spring flowering trees. Finally, 
to make the measure good, there 
is the Gardener’s Calendar, and 
a study of community gardens 
as they are being made in New 
York, in the rear of the re¬ 
modeled houses. The Shopping 
pages will show articles of ili¬ 
fe, est to gardeners. 
But even with this amount of 
space devoted to gardening the 
other topics are not neglected. 
The second of the color scheme 
articles created by decorators is 
on the morning room, a desirable 
adjunct to any smart country 
house. There will be three 
houses shown in a group— 
buck, shingle and stucco, 
coming respectively from Mas¬ 
sachusetts, Minnesota, and 
California. There will also be 
an article on choosing the right 
kind of a house for the site.
