Superb color portraits of many familiar flowers in their living tints,
and no less beautiful pictures in black and white of others--each
blossom photographed directly from nature--form an unrivaled series. By
their aid alone the novice can name the flowers met afield.

Intimate life-histories of over five hundred species of wild flowers,
written in untechnical, vivid language, emphasize the marvelously
interesting and vital relationship existing between these flowers and
the special insect to which each is adapted.

The flowers are divided into five color groups, because by this
arrangement any one with no knowledge of botany whatever can readily
identify the specimens met during a walk. The various popular names by
which each species is known, its preferred dwelling-place, months of
blooming and geographical distribution follow its description. Lists of
berry-bearing and other plants most conspicuous after the flowering
season, of such as grow together in different kinds of soil, and finally
of family groups arranged by that method of scientific classification
adopted by the International Botanical Congress which has now superseded
all others, combine to make "Nature's Garden" an indispensable guide.

BOOKS ON GARDENING AND FARMING

THREE ACRES AND LIBERTY. By Bolton Hall. Shows the value gained by
intensive culture. Should be in the hands of every landholder. Profusely
illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, 75 cents.

Every chapter in the book has been revised by a specialist. The
author clearly brings out the full value that is to be derived from
intensive culture and intelligent methods given to small land
holdings. Given untrammelled opportunity, agriculture will not only
care well for itself and for those intelligently engaged in it, but
it will give stability to all other industries and pursuits. (_From
the Preface._) "The author piles fact upon authenticated instance
and successful experiment upon proved example, until there is no
doubt what can be done with land intensively treated. He shows
where the land may be found, what kind we must have, what it will
cost, and what to do with it. It is seldom we find so much
enthusiasm tempered by so much experience and common sense. The
book points out in a practical way the possibilities of a very
small farm intensively cultivated.
