Gardening By Pre -Arrangement 



Being a "Do It Now" Preachment 



FOR ten years before the 

 Japs' victory over the Rus- 

 sians, they had been ar- 

 rangingforit. Becauseof that won- 

 derful pre- arrangement the "little 

 people'' defeated their opponents. 



Those who are satisfy ingly suc- 

 cessful with their gardening — never 

 cease to garden simply because 

 Jack Frost says gardening time is 

 over. They promptly proceed to 

 plan their next season's garden. 



Even now such enviable en- 

 thusiasts are spending evenings 

 looking through seed and nursery 

 catalogs. Many of them have 

 our Two P's Booklet telling of 

 the "Pleasure and Profits of Cold 

 Frames and Hot Beds" and have 

 marked certain pages that mention 

 the particular cold frames or hot 

 beds that they will order early so 

 they will have them all ready to 

 start gardening in February, 

 March or April as it may be. 



How is this for a snug little Jack Frost Defter? 



When you think of the quantities of plants our Grandmothers used to have in their crowded 

 bay windows, the possibilities of a house of this size can easily be imagined. 

 It is fully described and illustrated in cur Two G's Booklet. 



The head of lettuce grown 

 under Single Light Sash had 

 a spread of \0 l A inches wide. 



If you equip your frames with Our Dubble Lite Sash you can get results impossible with Single 

 Light, unless you bother with mats and shutters. 



On the same day in February, lettuce was planted by one of our customers in two, two-sash 

 frames, side by side. One had Single Light sash — the other Dubble Lite. 



The smaller head was grown under the Single, the other under the "Dubble." 



These are the kind of folks, who 

 have their own grown "crunchy, 

 crackly lettuce" early in March 

 and are eating melons way ahead 

 of the rest of us. Then there are 

 others who, a bit disgruntled over 

 the few short months of actual 

 gardening joys, are looking into 

 the question of buying one of our 

 glass enclosed gardens and defying 

 the moods of old Dame Nature 

 the year around. 



Upon their table along with the 

 seed and nursery catalogs you will 

 also find our Two G's Book 

 called "Glass Gardens, A Peep 

 Into Their Delights." 



Some of them will have both 

 our Two P's and Two G's. 



The point then of all this talk 

 is, if you are going to win in your 

 gardening Jap fashion, you must 

 pre-arrange for it. Either or 

 both of the booklets referred to 

 are yours for the asking. 



The head of lettuce grown un- 

 der the Dubble Lite sash, out- 

 spread the single light one by 3 2 

 inches. 



W_ f , 



One of our friends last year this time, ordered 10 single Plant Frames, two Single 

 Row Frames and four Melon Frames and was so enthusiastic about them, that he 

 couldn't wait till Spring, but promptly put them out in the garden and took this photo. 

 The lot of 16 frames cost but $13. Wouldn't it be a good idea to duplicate his order. 



The other day — Saturday to be exact — I was down to see oneof my friends alongthe 

 sea shore and he had these frames filled with lettuce and Swiss chard, besides an array 

 of flowers that would make you open your eyes. A two-sash frame complete costs 

 but $13.50, and a four sash $24.50. All sizes fully described in our Two P's Booklet.
