Almost Everybody Will Want this 

 "LITTLE GEM" 



GREENHOUSE 



Complete with Heater for 



*49 



.50 



Probably you didn't suppose you could get a real 

 Greenhouse, with its own heater, for less than fifty 

 dollars, or for twice fifty dollars for that matter. 



And it isn't a toy either. It gives forty square feet of 

 growing space below Duo-Glazed Sash — (perfected double 

 light sash with air space between, insulating against cold.) 

 The heater and hot water coil is particularly designed for 

 this greenhouse. No matter what the thermometer may say 

 outside, the proper temperature can be maintained within. 



The Dream of the Amateur 

 Gardener or Florist 



If you love to raise fragrant flowers or succulent vegetables, 

 which are doubly a joy because you nurture them — if you 

 have longed for an opportunity to "grow things" in a green- 

 house in the winter — the "Little Gem" gives you this op- 

 portunity at small cost. 



The "Little Gem" is compact — practical — efficient. You 

 can't get inside and walk around but you can grow as much 

 as can be grown in any forty feet of greenhouse soil anywhere. 

 Realize your dream of winter blooming flowers and hot- 

 house vegetables — a source of great pleasure and satisfac- 

 tion, or even of profit.

The Tulips of Milady's Garden 



—the Giant Darwin Tulip — May Flowering 



When Milady on a brilliant May morning surveys her garden border planted in clumps of Dar- 

 win and Cottage Tulips, the blooms as large as the giant Cattleya orchids, the petals as thick and as 

 massive as the water-lily, glittering and glistening in the sunlight, she will be tempted to say that 

 these Tulips are indeed the Queens of the Spring Garden. Whether you delight in having flowers 

 with 2- to 3-foot stems for cutting, masses of color against the background of shrubs, planted in 

 clumps of ten or twenty-five each in the herbaceous border, or in various-shaped beds on the lawn, 

 few other Tulips will provide such a wonderful display.
