 Growing Crops 



lZ^EEP the lettuce beds going to have 

 •*■*■ succession crops all winter. Give air to 

 the frames every day by lifting them slightly, 

 also water the lettuce only in the mornings. 

 Seed for new crops could be easily sowed in a 

 box in a sunny window to be transplanted 

 later in the cold-frames or as spring advances 

 in the open ground. When the plants are 

 young they should be sprayed thoroughly 

 with bordeaux mixture with arsenate of lead 

 as a preventive against wilt and insects. 



The conservatory and the greenhouse have 

 their enemies in the way of insects and 

 fungous growth. Keep the plants healthy by 

 giving them plenty of air, even on the coldest 

 days just so the air does not blow directly on 

 them. Water them thoroughly and avoid a 

 light sprinkling for in this way the roots of 

 the plants do not get wet and they will 

 sicken and die. 



Mending the Tools 



DURING the inclement weather, all tools 

 should be thoroughly overhauled and 

 put in good condition so as to be ready for 

 the early spring rush. Individual, small cold 

 frames can be made now. See directions in 

 Garden Magazine, January, 1916. They 

 come in well in the early spring to put over 

 plants that have been set out in the open 

 ground and which should be protected at 

 night from the cold and with a glass cover or 

 even cheese cloth they will be much sooner 

 brought to maturity, and thus earlier vege- 

 tables will be secured. 



Begin now to keep a garden calendar or 

 diary.

American Nursery Co's 

 New Year's Message 



To provide the best ornamentals which 

 ideal soils, climate, and human skill of a 

 high degree can produce, is the mission of 

 our organization. Whether your plans call 

 for a few rare plants only or the entire plant- 

 ing of an estate we stand prepared to supply 

 your wants. 



This is a Year for 



Deliberate Planning 



Guesswork in gardening will be replaced 

 by definite ideas, to assume tangible shape 

 only after mature deliberation. Permanent 

 gardens will receive more attention than ever 

 before. While you plan yours, we invite you 

 to consider our 



800 Acres — 127 Years of 

 Faithful Service 



Our nurseries, two of the largest and most 

 complete in the country, put their resources 

 and experiences at your disposal. For 127 

 years, the Bloodgood Nurseries of Long 

 Island have served a most critical clientele. 

 For many years the F. & F. Nurseries of New 

 Jersey have worked along similar lines with 

 gratifying results. The American Nursery 

 Company, as the combination of these two 

 well-known leaders in the nursery world, 

 solicits your favorable consideration.
