Royal Horticultural Society’s 
Great Dictionary of Gardening 
This new (published 1952) Dictionary of Garden- 
ing replaces the indispensable Nickolson’s Encyclo- 
pedia which has been out of print for years and 
out of date for longer. It describes every plant suit- 
able for growing in the temperate zone and there 
is much fine data on tropical and subtropical 
plants. Each genus is described, is followed by 
descriptions of individual species within the genus 
and descriptions of hybrids widely grown. Defini- 
tions also cover common garden terms. Unlike most 
once-over-lightly books for amateurs, these fine 
scientific volumes take the trouble to list and define 
mulch, pricking out, June drop, etc., etc. This dic- 
tionary is indispensable for the serious gardener; 
certainly every garden club should have one for 
reference. Four volumes: 2316 pages. Profusely il- 
lustrated. Price: $55.00 including delivery.

Garden Gadgets 
Forks, hoes, rakes, spades or what common garden tools 
you need—we don’t have them. Buy them from your 
favorite hardware dealer; he has as good as we can get. 
Over the years we have found few special-purpose gar- 
den tools that lived up to their promotions. Here is the 
only one we recommend. 
Dutch Hook Each $2.75 
This is the small, forged, sharp weeder the Dutch use for 
hooking weeds out of daffodil and tulip rows. We use it 
for all kinds of close weeding. It has an 18-inch handle— 
you have to stoop. No one else has this tool. 
Krasco Hand Grass Seeder Each $4.95 
A small hand tool working on the principle (centrifugal) 
of big farm tractor seeders. It will spread Bent and Blue- 
grass evenly and at the same time—something no $15 
hand-pushed seeder will do. Also, it is the only seeder 
that will distribute our Special Lawn Grass Seed, mostly 
a mixture of Fescues.
