It Is Not Too Late 
For Cold Frames 
Hot Beds or 
Greenhouses 
From October to May these Cold Frames are filled with violet blooms. The southern exposure and protection 
of garden fence at the north makes an excellent placing.

|N FACT it is just the right time to start bulbs to be in full bloom by the last of February. For dormant 
roses, hydrangeas and such semi-hardy plants that beautify your grounds and stoops in the summer, 
frames set over a pit about six feet deep at the back, with sides either boarded or having masonry walls, 
make an ideal place to carry these plants through the winter, bringing them out in the spring in 
splendid condition, ready to take their places on your grounds along with the robins’ return. 
There is still time to transplant some parsley, or, by using the frames as hot beds, start another lot of lettuce, falielnes 
and Swiss chard greens, etc. 
So many of THe Garpen Macazine readers have taken to cold frames that we were deluged with all sorts of 
questions as to growing possibilities, preparation of soil, how, what and when to plant, the difference between cold 
frames and hot beds, etc., that we were driven to publish a little book called “ Two P’s or the Pleasure and Profit of 
Cold Frames.” It answers most of the queries, tells what these frames will do and not do, has plenty of illustrations 
showing their actual use, good locations and a reliable planting table besides. It also gives some suggestions how 
to have tomatoes six weeks ahead of your neighbor, or the getting of a month’s start on rhubarb and asparagus. 
We want you to have this booklet—want you to have it not only because of its “pleasure and profit” but be- 
cause it also says something about our kind of greenhouses, the single compartment ones for the amateur or the more
