THE VIRGINIAN: By Owen Wister.

With full page illustrations by A. I. Keller. Dustin Farnum has made the play famous by his creation of the title role.

BOOKS BY JACK LONDON

12 mo., Cloth, 75 Cents Each, Postpaid

THE CALL OF THE WILD:

With illustrations by Philip R. Goodwin and Charles Livingston Bull. Decorated by Charles Edward Hooper.

“A big story in sober English, and with thorough art in the construction … a wonderfully perfect bit of work. The dog adventures are as exciting as any man’s exploits could be, and Mr. London’s workmanship is wholly satisfying.” —The New York Sun.

THE SEA WOLF: Illustrated by W. J. Aylward.

“This story surely has the pure Stevenson ring, the adventurous glamour, the vertebrate stoicism. ’Tis surely the story of the making of a man, the sculptor being Captain Larsen, and the clay, the ease-loving, well-to-do, half-drowned man, to all appearances his helpless prey.” —Critic.

THE PEOPLE OF THE ABYSS:

A vivid and intensely interesting picture of life, as the author found it, in the slums of London. Not a survey of impressions formed on a slumming tour, but a most graphic account of real life from one who succeeded in getting on the “inside.” More absorbing than a novel. A great and vital book. Profusely illustrated from photographs.

THE SON OF THE WOLF:

“Even the most listless reader will be stirred by the virile force, the strong, sweeping strokes with which the pictures of the northern wilds and the life therein are painted, and the in-sight given into the soul of the primitive of nature.” —Plain Dealer, Cleveland.

A DAUGHTER OF THE SNOWS:

It is a book about a woman, whose personality and plan in the story are likely to win for her a host of admirers. The story has the rapid movement, incident and romantic flavor which have interested so many in his tales. The illustrations are by F. C. Yohn.

THE JUNGLE, By Upton Sinclair:

A book that startled the world and caused two hemispheres to sit up and think. Intense in interest, the dramatic situations portrayed enthrall the reader, while its evident realism and truth to life and conditions have gained for it the title of “The ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ of the Twentieth Century.”

“I should be afraid to trust myself to tell how it affects me. It is a great work; so simple, so true, so tragic, so human.” —David Graham Phillips.

Cloth, 12 mo. Price, seventy-five cents, postpaid.

It is useful alike to the owner of a suburban garden plot and to the owner of a “little place” in the country.

A WOMAN’S HARDY GARDEN, by Helena Rutherfurd Ely. With forty-nine illustrations from photographs taken in the author’s garden by Prof. C. F. Chandler. 12 mo., cloth.

A superbly illustrated volume, appealing especially to the many men and women whose love of flowers and all things green is a passion so strong that it often seems to be a sort of primal instinct, coming down through generation after generation from the first man who was put into, a garden “to dress it and keep it.” The instructions as to planting, maintenance, etc., are clear and comprehensive, and can be read and practiced with profit by both amateur and professional.
