“VISUAL GARDEN MANUAL” 
By Elsa Uppman 
“One picture is worth a thousand words”, says an 
old Chinese proverb. The nearest thing in gardening, 
to the witnessing of a first hand demonstration by an 
expert is to see a picture of how it is done. This is 
a book of pictures, primarily; a book of close-up visual 
instructions for almost every fundamental flower gar- 
dening technique about which you might ever need to 
know. 
Besides the “‘Garden Techniques” section, perhaps 
the most welcome parts of this book will be those de- 
voted to individual annuals, perennials, bulbs, shrubs, 
trees, vines and other plant materials. Price, $1.00 
per copy, prepaid.
