Cf)f $ leisures of a Colbframe 



FEW people realize the pleasures and possibilities of a Coldframe, how small its cost, how inexpensive its maintenance and the 

 large return in fresh vegetables that can be had during the winter months. Take for example Lettuce. Lettuce matures in eighty 

 days from sowing seed. For a continuous supply, successional sowings are made in Coldframes from September ist. Lettuce 

 sown the first of September will mature about the middle of November, and by planting two varieties, an early and a late, this would give 

 salads until the middle of December. 



Spinach, Radishes, and other vegetables can be enjoyed during the winter in this way, and all sorts of flower seeds can be started 



for planting out early next spring, thus having flowers 

 several weeks earlier next spring and summer. Indeed, 

 you can have Pansies by the bushel for Easter. By having 

 a Coldframe, you really enjoy the pleasures of a garden 

 during the winter months. Coldframes take so little 

 room that it is possible for every person to have them. 

 If you have a greenhouse you can increase its capacity 

 during the winter by starting the seeds in a Coldframe 

 and then transplanting to the greenhouse later. The 

 regulation Coldframe measures three by six feet and will 

 accommodate four rows of lettuce one way and seven the 

 other, 28 plants in all, and will yield sufficient for a family 

 of six for fourteen days, that is, two heads a day. 



We manufacture Coldframes in all sizes, and

PHLOX AS A RORDER PLANT AT ANDORRA 



Will give bloom from June until frost 



'T^HIS glorious family of hardy perennials is, perhaps, the 

 -^ most widely known and popular of all the various plants 

 which we have in our gardens, and each year finds the newer 

 and showier varieties increasing through the hybridizer's skill. 

 Certainly, no perennial is more worthy of culture, more satis- 

 factory in every situation, or more effective either as individual 

 plants or grouped in masses in the shrubbery beds. All of the 

 Phloxes are well adapted for cutting and are exceedingly 

 floriferous. Every shoot is topped with a heavy pyramidal 

 cluster. From the time the plants begin to bloom, the garden 

 borders can be kept aflame with great cone-flowers of brilliant 

 colors, and they fill in the season when other flowers are scarce. 

 We offer 30,000 plants in over forty varieties.
