SOME MORE GOOD BOOKS 
TREES FOR AMERICAN GARDENS. 
Donald Wyman. $7.50. .

its companion volume, ‘‘Shrubs and Vines for American 
Gardens,’’ by the same author. We can’t, but we suggest 
you purchase one or both. With the knowledge you will 
gain you will be able to answer almost all questions asked 
you about all the most desirable trees.

A BOOK WE RECOMMEND 
THE HOW AND WHY OF BETTER GARDENING. 
Laurence Manning. $3.00. 
This book will show you how to grow better flowers, fruit, 
shrubs, trees and vegetables, because it contains the basic 
principles of plant science, described in an easy-to-read 
way every gardener can understand and use. 
‘Mr. Manning has the almost unique quality of being at 
the same time highly instructive and enormously enter- 
taining. He entertains while teaching and teaches while 
entertaining. Once I’d started ‘The How and Why of Better 
Gardening’ I found myself virtually incapable of putting 
it down, and I’m sure that countless other gardeners who 
start it—beginners and old-hands alike—will find themselves 
in_ the same predicament.’’—Theodore A. Weston, Editor, 
“Flower Grower Magazine.”’
