Gardening 

 By the Sense of Sense 



Or the Reason Why of Garden Boosters 



There are Jots of us, who are "put-offs." We put off yesterday, 

 what should have been done the day before yesterday. It's very 

 human — but very bad for gardening. 



Last month you will recall we devoted this entire page to the theme 

 of "gardening by pre-arrangement," which was only another way of 

 saying that the only way to be ready is to get ready. 



Before expanding on the actual get ready phrase, let's digress for a 

 moment into the "I-told-you-so" class. 



The last part of last Winter, you will remember, was just the kind 

 that made you think that "Spring is going to be early this year." 



But it wasn't. It lagged along until some of us had to plant our 

 gardens all over again, and others said "what's the use anyway of 

 trying to have an early garden any more in this confounded climate." 



Along in February we reminded you that Cold frames or Hot beds 

 were the only sure insurance against a late garden. We even went so 

 far as to say pretty strongly that you ought to buy some of our frames 

 — even if only ten of the single plant ones for $6.25. 



We endeavored to make it plain to you how, with the help of 



frames, you could boost your garden along anywheres from two to six 

 weeks. It being entirely up to you which. 



But some of you trusted to luck again. That's why we can now 

 say, "I-told-you-so." 



But to the real point: This year you are going to buy framejs — 

 you made up your mind to that eight months ago. 



This being so, as it certainly is so, then the thing for you to do is: 

 send at once for our Two P's Booklet which tells you about the Pleas- 

 ure and Profits of Cold Frames and Hot Beds. We have seven differ- 

 ent kinds and sizes of these frames or garden boosters. 



Every one of them is illustrated, described and priced in that book- 

 let. There's several pages of Helpful Hints, and a Planting Time 

 Table, both of which you want right handy under one cover. 



Send for this Two P's Booklet. Pick out your frames. Order them. 

 The only way to be ready — is to get ready.
