Publisher's Synopsis
From the PREFACE. This little book is written with a view of furnishing inspiration and help to those who want to make their homes attractive and the city a cleaner, healthier, better and prettier place in which to live. The author endeavors to keep the book in clear, simple, and concise language. The first ten chapters are from plates of "Hints and Helps For Young Gardeners." These chapters refer largely to elementary agriculture and work in the vegetable garden. The remaining chapters treat more directly upon beautifying the home grounds and the care of the surroundings of the home. Credit is here given for the use of cuts by the Syracuse Chilled Plow Co., and by the Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture. H. D. Hemenway
