DON’T WAIT ALL SUMMESS 
for your Vegetables and Flowers to Mature. 
Get your seeds and plants started a 
month ahead and enjoy the pleasures 
of your garden just that much earlier, 
Here’s a new method in modern hor- 
ticulture thats no longer an experi- 
ment; Uncle Sam endorses and has 
used these devices since their first in- 
troduction. Allthe big State colleges 
areenthusiasticand recommend them. f “Ws, Hemera 
Thousands of commercial and ama- i jou and Flan! Foreer 
teur gardeners all over the United 
States and Canada are making 
big money by having their 
produce in market 
weeks earlier than 
they ever had 
before. 
These little devices give your seeds and plants the same 
protection as if they were growing in the green house; 
when taken off you’ll have a transformation that you 
never dreamed of. 
The wonderful con- 
trast of these two 
Peonies, (oneforced 
with a tall Plant 
Forcer, and the 
other not forced) is 
but one instance of 
the marvelous re- 
sults produced by 
the use of my 
methods and de- 
The cost is so small, compared with the results, you 
can afford to use ’em by the thousands and make big 
profits. (Just think of it) I offer you a COMPLETE little 
Plant Forcer, like ipuctiine on left, including glass 5x64 
inches for less than 314 cents each, in 1000 lots. ‘This 
style is fine for forcing Melons, Cucumbers, Sugar Corn, 
Lettuce and other small plants. I have larger sizes for 
forcing Rhubarb and big plants. 
I want to tell you more about these , 
little wonder workers, and also about fe 
several other new inventions for the 
progressive gardener, including my 
marvelous system of growing and att 
blanching Celery (without the hard @ 
work of banking with soil) that will 
be BIGGER, WHITER and CRISPER 
than any you ever saw before. 
My big FREE BOOK tells 
you all. Just send me your 
name and address on a post 
card and I will send YOU
