Plants carried through Winter of rgog-io by R. A. Mason, Westerly, R. I., under Sunlight Double 

 Glass Sash. Lowest temperature lo degrees below zero. No covers or mats used. No plants frosted. 



Winter Gardening 



Without 



the Worry and 



Drudgery 



With Sunlight ' Double Glass Sash 

 you eliminate the covering and un- 

 covering — the getting out in the 

 cold, or snow, or wet every morn- 

 ing and evening to handle heavy 

 shutters or soggy mats. 



This year do your hot-bed and cold-frame gardening under Sunlight Double Glass Sash. You 

 never have to cover them. All you have to do to the sash is to raise them to admit air on warm days 

 or occasionally to water the beds. Sudden drops in temperature need not worry you because they 

 will not hurt the plants under Sunlight Double Glass Sash. 



This double layer of glass does it 



Between the two layers of glass is a 54 inch layer of dry, still air : This transparent blanket is a 

 perfect non-conductor retaining the heat — keeping out the cold. It is better than expensive, heavy 

 mats or boards because it permits the plants to get the light from sun-up to sun-down — and the more 

 light the plants get the faster they will grow — the hardier they will be. The glass is slipped into the 

 sash grooves and held securely by brass springs and stops. No putty is used. 



Some of the things you can grow 



Froin'September until June the cold frames or hot beds under Sunlight Sash can be kept busy. Fresh lettuce and 

 radishes any time you want them, violets all "winter ; pansies in bloom in February or March ; cabbage, cauliflower. 



beets, etc.. to set out early in the Spring ; tomato, pepper and sweet potato plants ready as soon as it is warm outside. 

 Almost all flowers and vegetables can be forwarded under the Sunlight Sash earlier than under single glass sash t)e- 

 cause they get the light all day long — are never ;overed — and therefore grow faster — become sturdier.

 for our Free Catalog, we send you a booklet giving extracts from letters received from hundreds of these users. With- 

 out exception they are enthusiastic in telling of the pleasure and profit they derived from their sash. And many have

I have your kind favor of the

the

accept thanks

It 



gives 



me pleasure to say also that we con- 



tinue to 



have 



great satisfaction in the work done on our 



trees by 



you. 



I am very sure that it has not- only great- 



ly 



increased 



tlieir 



beauty, but will prolong their lives* 











Very tr^y yours, 



The significance of these letters is in the testimony they give to the permanent efficiency of the methods of tree surgery, originateci by John Davey. the father of the profession, and practiced 

 exclusively by the Davey Ejtperts. The first work done by the Davey men on Mr. Archbold's trees was in the early spring of 1 907. Three years later Mr. Archbold writes to say that he continues to 

 have great satisfaction in the work done. If it had been lacking in any respect, a man of Mr. Archbold's keen intelligence would long ago have detected it. The Davey Service stands the test of time.
