Make Your Garden Last 

 Weeks Longer 



Then there is the especial value that frames 

 will be to you in the spring in getting your garden 

 plants started weeks ahead. 



All the backwardness caused by the coldness of 

 the past season could have been overcome if j'ou 

 had bought frames when we advised you to last Feb- 

 ruary. Don't get caught that way again. Buy your 

 frames now and get double duty out of them. The 

 prices are reasonable — so reasonable that almost 

 anyone can afford at least a 

 four sash frame. We have 

 special ones made for women, 

 that are smaller than the stand- 

 ard size and with lighterweight 

 sash, making them very easy 

 to work and handle. We call 

 them our Junior Frames. 



Send for our Two P's Book- 

 let which tells you about the 

 pleasure and profit of Cold 

 Frames. It is the whole frame 

 subject in a nut shell — inter- 

 estingly told and convincingly illustrated. 



As a last warning — don't put off ordering, get 

 your fall garden started now — right now. 



OUR cold frames will do it. Plant the seeds 

 directly in the soil of the frames now, and 

 do it every ten days up to September first. 

 By doing it this way "the first planting will be 

 ready for use when the frost has killed off your 

 garden. The successive sowings will be coming 

 along right up to Thanksgiving. 



You can have lettuce, Swiss chard and parsley 

 all winter long and right up to the last of March 

 if you grow them now and hold 

 them in the frames. They 

 won't grow much through 

 the winter, but will keep as 

 fresh and tender as if just 

 matured. 



Of course, frames are 

 equally useful in prolonging 

 the blooming period of your 

 flowers, or starting others for 

 your pleasure during the 

 months later on. They are 

 ideal for plunging bulbs in to 



develop root growth. Plunge the pots in October 

 and bring them out for flowering just as you want 

 them any time up to Easter. 



Here is a 3 sash Junior frame made especially for use 



in limited space and in a size convenient 



for women to easily work

Stain Your Shingles with 



Dexter Brothers^ English Shingle Stains 



Dip Them Before Laying 



Dipping gives absolute protection — where rain g-ets througfh 

 between and under shingles, as well as to the outer surfaces. ; 

 Whether applied by brusliin-^r or dipping. Dexter Brotliers' / 

 English Shingle Stains are better than paint. They protect ■ 

 the shingles with preservative, waterproofing oils, yet 

 retain the natural texture and beauty of the wood. The / 7 

 pure English eround colors cannot fade. 



Vrite for stained miniature shingles, so vnn can decide on 

 the right color combination. Also descriptive booklet with 

 letters from :irchitects and owners.
