ATouch of Color 

 Early in theYea; 



A planting of our 

 choice Azaleas, as 

 illustrated here, 

 makes a glorious 

 showing of color 

 early in the 

 spring, before 

 most things come out. We have them in many 

 tints, shading from flesh to crimson — fine, stocky 

 plants that will thrive not only in the South, but 

 many sorts also in New York and further north. 

 Beside Azaleas, we 



have an extensive We're Ready with Trees 



stock of very desir- 

 able Trees and 

 Plants for Spring 

 — Hardy Shrubs of all kinds, Conifers, Field-Grown 

 Roses, etc. Our attractive Catalogue for 1910 il- 

 lustrates and describes these and will interest you. 

 A copy will be mailed on request.

A three sash Junior Frame. Sash are light to handle, and frames easy to work 



Cold Frames and Hot Beds 



How to Get the Most Out of Them 



OUR Two P's booklet tells you. Not in 

 glittering generalities, but it gets right 

 down to facts. Tells how you can get 

 six weeks' to two months' start in your garden 

 this spring — gives you valuable hints on flowers 

 to grow — tells you how to make a hot bed, 

 shows how you can have vegetables next winter. 



Then there is a planting-time table for 

 both flowers and vegetables. You will find this 

 decidedly convenient — it not only tells you the 

 time to plant, but gives a good bit of other 

 valuable information besides. 



It describes and prices our various styles of 

 frames, of which we make three. 



First, there is our Standard size to take sash 

 that are three feet wide and six feet long, such 

 as you generally see in gardens; then come our 

 Juniors, which is a smaller size made especially 

 for the convenience of those who find the larger 

 sash rather heavy and unwieldly to handle. Any 



woman can handle this size with ease. An added 

 advantage is that these Juniors can often be placed 

 in some little niche, otherwise not useable. 



Being so light they can easily be toted around, 

 placing them over various flowers to hasten them, 

 or to force or protect various things in the 

 vegetable garden. 



Number Three on the list is Melon Frames, 

 which besides being of great assistance in getting 

 melons earlier, are also mighty handy little 

 chaps to put over a clump of daffodils or any 

 flowers you want to get started a month ahead of 

 Nature's own schedule. These are so inexpensive 

 you can well have a dozen or so and use them 

 here and there about your place, and put some 

 along in a row in your garden. 



Right now is the time to order frames, as every 

 day's delay from this on means just that much 

 later results. So send at once for Two P's 

 Booklet, and immediately order your frames.
