The periodical contains many articles concerning household management and gardening, including such areas as Independence Day; playrooms in homes; prominent women and their gardens; the use of color in a room; gardening clubs; wood in homes; indoor gardening; child training; canning; entertaining in the garden; electric ranges; books; tools; and cooking.
