Something New in Cold Frames 



They are just what you want this month for starting your per- 

 ennials to bloom next spring and vegetables for late fall use. 



With the help of frames you can get good strong plants 

 that early next spring will start growing rapidly and be 

 in bloom first part of summer instead of the following 

 summer. It's the ideal way for pansies. You can grow 

 violets in them all winter. A bunch picked in January 

 from your own frames would be good fun, wouldn't it ? 

 Get a couple dozen of plants from a florist and give it a try. 

 He will tell you how. Every year for years you have 

 always wanted frames — but they either cost too much or 

 were made larger that you wanted. Lots of our friends 

 told us exactly the same thing. That's why we are mak- 

 ing these 3 sizes of small frames — making them so well 

 and selling them so surprisingly 

 reasonable that it will be easier 

 for you to buy them than trying 

 to resist the temptation. 



Their Construction. The 

 wood is cypress. The sides are 

 bolted together by strong cast 

 iron corner cleats. No nails 

 used. Will last a lifetime. s; ng i

Order enough so you will 

 have some exlra ones for start- 

 ing things next spring. If you
