_THE HOUSE & GARDEN MAKING BOOKS_
It is the intention of the publishers to make this series of little
volumes, of which _Making a Lawn_ is one, a complete library of
authoritative and well illustrated handbooks dealing with the activities
of the home-maker and amateur gardener. Text, pictures and diagrams
will, in each respective book, aim to make perfectly clear the
possibility of having, and the means of having, some of the more
important features of a modern country or suburban home. Among the
titles already issued or planned for early publication are the
following: _Making a Rose Garden_; _Making a Tennis Court_; _Making a
Garden Bloom This Year_; _Making a Fireplace_; _Making Roads and Paths_;
_Making a Poultry House_; _Making a Hotbed and Coldframe_; _Making
Built-in Bookcases, Shelves and Seats_; _Making a Rock Garden_; _Making
a Water Garden_; _Making a Perennial Border_; _Making a Shrubbery
Group_; _Making a Naturalized Bulb Garden_; with others to be announced
later.
[Illustration: Lawn is probably the most important element in the
setting for most country houses, yet all too frequently it is expected
to make and take care of itself]
