This man uses his frames for violets and has them straight through from 
October till April. Mats and shutters are, of course, required for 
protection in the coldest weather —these we can furnish 
A four-sash frame is a good number to start with, and gives you a chance 
to run two-sash as a cold frame and two as a hot bed by 
simply putting in an inexpensive partition

How to Carry Your Garden 
Right Through to Christmas 
O IT with cold frames, or, if you like, grow things in them 
all winter through. Set them right up now in a southerly 
exposure, with protection at the north. Plant direct from seed 
with lettuce, Swiss chard greens, radishes, pepper grass, and 
transplant two or three bunches of parsley —leave a space for 
some violets and a few pansies. 
Take lettuce for an example: Let’s figure out what can be 
done with planting a two-sash frame 6 x 6 feet, with eight rows 
each way—64 plants in all, yielding sufficient for a small family 
for a month at the rate of two heads a day—two big, solid, 
crispy heads. 
Here’s how it figures out: 64 heads at 4oc. per 
lb. or 10c. a head would cost you $6.40 if bought of the grocer 
—nearly as much as the cost of the two sashes. 
A four-sash frame is the most satisfactory number to start 
with. We ship it knocked down, but it’s an easy matter to erect, 
as the bolting up of the angle irons at the corners does the 
whole thing. The sash are carefully crated and will reach you 
unbroken. 
If you want to know just what there is in this cold frame question, 
then send fr our booklet, ‘‘ Two P’s,”’ on the pleasure and profit of 
cold frames—it tells it in a chatty, easy to understand way—has a 
planting tab'e suggesting things to plant, time they tike 10 grow, 
etc. You’:] find it good, interesting reading. It’s sent free.
