Wildwood Magazine
Lee, Joel, Grace, and the executive board members, deciding to expand their repertoire, agreed that a magazine was the perfect vehicle for publicizing their planned residential communities. From 1913 to 1917, Wildwood Magazine was published in order to promote housing styles, building tips, and landscaping techniques. Articles on city planning and landscaping were contributed by Arthur Shurtleff of Boston. In addition to informative articles, several contests for backyard beautification featured in the magazines, enticed homeowners to improve their landscape for neighborhood recognition.[i]
