Series Notes:
1. Walter Hayn drew the third format jacket.
2. The fourth format jacket was drawn by Thelma Gooch.
3. Jesse Graham Flower is a pseudonym for Josephine Chase.
4. There is a Format 2 Dust Jacket which is on the brittle brown paper usually seen in the Format 1 series books. I have not seen any other post 1920 books with this dust jacket paper.
