THE POCKET GARDEN LIBRARY

Four Volumes, Containing More Than 800 Colored Illustrations Edited by LEONARD BARRON

Garden Flowers of Spring By Ellen Eddy Shaw Garden Flowers of Fall By Ellen Eddy Shaw Garden Flowers of Summer By Ellen Eddy Shaw Flowers of Winter In-doors and Out By Montague Free

The first pocket color guides to popular garden favorites—hardy annuals, herbaceous perennials, shrubs, evergreens, and some greenhouse plants.

They are the same size and general make-up as the Pocket Guides to the birds, the wild flowers, etc., which sell each year into the hundreds of thousands.

The text is concise and up-to-date, and tells how to identify and care for each variety, what value it has for the garden, and the methods of propagation. All the illustrations have been specially made for this work by the best plant portrait painters in America.

Flexible Linen, each, net, $1.25. Flexible Leather, each, net, $1.50

THE WORTH KNOWING SERIES

Four Volumes, Containing Nearly 200 Illustrations, 144 of Which are in Color _Fully Indexed_

Birds Worth Knowing By Neltje Blanchan Trees Worth Knowing By Julia Ellen Rogers Butterflies Worth Knowing By Clarence M. Weed Flowers Worth Knowing Adapted from the works of Neltje Blanchan By Asa Don Dickinson

The Worth Knowing Series forms a much needed in-between link to the larger Nature Library books and the handy, but necessarily limited, Pocket Nature Guides.

Each of these four volumes covers the most interesting American varieties of the subject treated.

A general introduction to each subject is followed by detailed descriptions of the most interesting families, and of the more important members in each group.

EACH VOLUME, NET, $1.60

THE BIRD STUDY BOOK

By T. GILBERT PEARSON

The idea here is to present a bird book in which the beginner or the child can get in simple language the fundamental facts of bird study. Mr. Pearson, as Secretary of the National Association of Audubon Societies, is one of the best informed writers on birds in America.

He is just the author to kindle enthusiasm. A few of the questions and subjects suggested by a reading of “The Bird Study Book” are:

How to get on neighborly terms with the birds.

Do birds have more than one mate?

Bird spinsters.

What bird is called the “Outcast”?

What birds winter in your particular locality?

How many birds are there in the world?

Birds that are no more—the story of the Labrador Duck, the Great Auk, the Wild Pigeon.

All about bird boxes.

_Colored Frontispiece_ Pen and ink drawings by WILL SIMMONS, and 16 photographs. Net, $1.25

THE TREE GUIDE

By JULIA ELLEN ROGERS, _Author of “The Tree Book”_

THE TREE GUIDE is uniform in style and size with the well-known pocket Bird Guides which have become so universally popular. It contains illustrations and descriptions of the trees of the country. The descriptions include the range, the classification, the distinctive features such as flowers, leaves, fruit, etc., and all other marks that lead to an easy identification of the tree. An ideal volume for expert naturalist or amateur for field work or even more exhaustive study.

32 illustrations in color; many in black and white. Cloth, net, $1.00; Leather, net, $1.25

THE BUTTERFLY GUIDE

By Dr. W. J. HOLLAND _Author of “The Butterfly Book,” “The Moth Book,” Etc. Similar to the “Pocket Nature Guides”_

This is the first Butterfly Book of pocket size giving each species in its natural colors. It is uniform in style and binding to the popular _Pocket Nature Guides_ series, and makes a valuable companion volume to these books.

Dr. Holland, Director of the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburg, is the greatest butterfly authority in the country, and has had more experience in the mounting and artistic posing of moths and butterflies than any other living man. The plates in the Pocket Guide are entirely new and reproduced by a special process under Dr. Holland’s personal supervision, from specimens in his own collection.

This book is the most authoritative and valuable guide for field use ever published. It makes the identification of our common butterflies a simple matter for amateurs.

Illustrations of 250 butterflies in their natural colors.

Index. Boxed. Flexible Linen, net, $1.00; Full Limp Leather, net, $1.25

FLOWER GUIDE

By CHESTER A. REED, B. S.

A guide to the common wild flowers found in the Eastern and Middle States. Wild Flower Guide is the same size and scope as Bird Guide. It has had an extraordinary sale and has been adopted and used in quantities in many of our leading colleges and schools.

The COLORED ILLUSTRATIONS, 192 in number, are beautiful, artistic and accurate reproductions from oil paintings; the finest series ever made. The text tells where each is found, when it blooms, whether in woods, fields, swamps, etc., the height that the plant attains, whether it is self-fertilized or cross fertilized by insects and how; in fact it gives a great deal more information than one would think possible in a book to fit comfortably in the pocket.

Bound in Cloth, 75c.; in Leather, $1.00; postage 5c.

NATURE STUDIES—IN FIELD AND WOOD

By CHESTER A. REED, B. S.

60c. net; postage 10c.

The pictures show more than 230 birds in color, every species found in our range. They exceed in number those in any other bird book. In quality they cannot be surpassed—exquisite gems, each with an attractive background, typical of the habitat of the species.

“LAND BIRDS” and “WATER BIRDS” are the only books regardless of price, that describe and show in color every bird. 250 pages, neatly boxed.

Bound in Flexible Linen, net, $1.00; in Leather, net, $1.25; postage 5c.

CAMERA STUDIES OF WILD BIRDS IN THEIR HOMES

“CAMERA STUDIES” has 250 photographs of events right in birds’ homes. These pictures are selected from the author’s collection of over 2,000 bird photographs, this being one of the best collections of pictures of free, living wild birds in existence.

Many rare and interesting poses are faithfully shown by the camera. For instance, a pair of adult Chipping Sparrows, standing on a branch by the sides of their four young, are engaged in pulling apart a large worm that was too large to be given whole.

The stories accompanying these pictures are as interesting as the photographs and above all they are actual facts.

300 pages, 5½ × 7½ in.; 250 photographs of living, wild birds.
