Library Club Lists Books
Mrs. Russell Tracy, president of The Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library, announces the steady growth of membership in the organization, having the largest number of members in the County.
The County Library and Friends of the Library are completely separate. County books are a circulating procedure while books donated by the Friends of the Library remain in the Hermosa Library with a name plate of the donor in the book.
Specific purpose of this group is to foster a closer relation between the library and the citizens and organizations of Hermosa, to stimulate public support, to foscus attention on the facilities and services offered by the library as well as to point out the needs of the library; to encourage financial help as well as gifts in the form of books including paper back classics.
Of special interest, is the spring garden book list now that families are planning and planting their spring gardens. "Native Plants for California Gardeners," by L. W. Lenz; depicting gay contrast in color and size; "The Complete Book of Bulbs," by F. F. Rockwell; by contrast provides an intriguing arrangement of tranquil beauty. "Bonsai; Miniature Potted Trees," by N. Koba-yashi; a striking suggestion of the Orient can reflect our beach way of life, utilizing our stones and shells.
"Gardening in Containers," a Sunset Book; a comprehensive manual of outdoor and indoor plantings all about shrubs, trees, succulents, miniatures, decoration and homemade containers.
"Sunset Magazine Western Garden Book," a must, providing an adequate background for the local gar-dener.
Other books for consideration include:
"Garden Flowers in Color," by D. J. Foley; "Veget-able Gardening in Color," by D. J. Foley; "Home Fruit Growing in California," by W. L. Howard; "A Joy of Gardening," by Sackville and V. M. West; "Greenhouse Gardening Around the Year," by M. R. Dulles.
"The Complete Book Flower Arrangement," by F. F. Rockwell; "House Plants," by F. F. Rockwell and a host of others combine to make in just a few weeks your home and garden a miracle of color through gardening.
