' Contrary to the belief · that once a lawn is planted it "just grows," Mr. Rockwell shows the great importance of after-care, and how labor can be red~ced to a minimum by proper attention at the right time. He discusses watering, mowing, fertilizing, rolling, etc.; the remaking and repairing of old lawns; the causes and the remedies for weeds, pests, and diseases; and the handling of lawns in different climates and locations. Published by Harcourt, Brace and Co. · In this volume the author of "Mother India" follows through her appeal for the release from bondage of India's unfortunate people.

Rockwell, author of "Rock Gardens," "The Book of Bulbs," "Around the Year in the Garden," etc. Illustrated. Cloth, 12 mo. $1.00. To be published in March. Home grounds with patchy, ragged, and unkempt lawns can never achieve distinction, no matter how attractive the house or the plantings about it. Every year thousands of home owners ask "How can I improve my lawn?" Mr. Rockwell answers this question in the able, direct manner that characterizes all of the Home Garden Handbooks. Starting with the function of the lawns as a frame for the house and the part it can play in creating illusions of space, the book tells how to lay out paths, drives, and flower beds · how to manage terraces, slopes, and' level coastal New England a century ago, where men of the soil, men of the sea, and ·men of the water front meet and mingle, where often enough one man combines in himself the habits and attributes of the three. Such a one is young John Bradford, bred to the soil, who is by turns farm boy, sailor, shipbuilder, and farmer again. Surh a one, too, is Richard Sylvester, young John's bitterest enemy, against all of whose wealth and prestige he mu~t struggle for success-for securitv even -and for the hand of his swee-theart . too. This book forcefully presents the figure of a man undaunted hv the adversity of fate, against a backgrom1d whose ruggedness and vigor are a fit setting for his own.
