Gardening 

 By the Sense of Sense 



Or the Reason Why of Garden Boosters 



There are lots of us, who are "put-offs." We put off yester- 

 day, what should have been done the day before yesterday. It's 

 very human — but very bad for gardening. 



Before expandinir on the actual get Teady phrase, let's 

 digress for a moment into the "I-teld-you-so" class. 



The last part of last Winter, you will remember, was Just 

 the kind that made you think that "Spring is going to be early 

 this year." 



But it wa<^n't. It lagged along until some of lis had to plant 

 our garden.s all over again, and others said "what'.s the use 

 anyway of trying to have an early garden any more in this 

 confounded climate?" 



Along in February we reminded yon that Cold frames or 

 Hot beds were the only sure Insuranoe against a late garden. 

 We even went so far as to say pretty strongly that yon ought 

 to buy some of our frames— even if only ten of tie single plant 

 ones for $6.26. 



We endeayored to make It plain to you how. with the help 

 ^f frames, you eould boost vour garden along anywhere from 



two to BIX weeks. It being entirely up to you which. 



But some of you trusted to luck again. That's why we can 

 now say. "I-told-you-so." 



But to the real point; This yeaar you are going to buy frames 

 —you made up your mind to that eight months ago. 



This being so, a,s it certainly is so, then the thing for you 

 to do is: send .at once for our 'Two P's Booklet which tells you 

 about the Pleasure and Profits of Cold Frames and Hot Beds. 

 We haye seven different kinds and sizes of these frames or gar- 

 den boosters. 



Every one of them ia illustrated, described and priced in that 

 boklet. There's several pages of Helpful Hints, and a Planting 

 Time Table, both of which you want right handy under one 

 cover. 



S?nd tor this Two P's Booklet. Pick out your frames. Order 

 them. The only wav to be rendv— Is to sr<>t ready
