THE GARDEN M A G A Z T X E 



1 V, 



Start Your Flowers 

 or Vegetables Early 



In response to a special demand I have manufactured a 

 sash frame 8 ft. 4 in. long, and just wide enough for a 3 ft. 

 space with southern exposure. In place of many small lights 

 there is one large light of extra heavy glass, which allows 

 the maximum of life-giving sunlight to reach seeds and 

 plants. It is so simple a child can ventilate it. dJIA 50 

 If desired the sash can be hinged. Price complete «plv. 

 ready to put together, freight prepaid anywhere in the 

 United States, (a remarkably low price made possible 

 only by the large volume of my business). 



If you would enjoy home-grown produce in June, start 

 your garden now. Your first crop will show a profit and 

 the frame give years of satisfactory service. Send your 

 order and check to-day. Shipments made promptly. 

 Planting instructions sent with each frame. 



See our full size curved eave greenhouse erected at

The Modern 

 Gladiolus 



I again make my offer of 50 

 Gladiolus bulbs, carefully select- 

 ed, and including several of the best 

 named sorts, for 50c. I take pains to 

 add to my assortment the best new varie- 

 ties and keep plenty of the best old sorts. 

 I believe I give more fine gladioli for 

 the money than any other advertiser. 

 Among new ones I have NIAGARA, 

 PANAMA, EUROPA, MRS. PEND- 

 LETON, WILLY WIGMAN and many 

 others. Bulbs and catalogue postpaid.

This Is Your Path To That Garden 

 of Flowers and Fresh Vegetables 



It's no use planting a garden in your head. Put it in the ground where it will grow. 



T'HE secret of gardening success is knowing why your neighbor gets better results 

 1 than you do. It is because he knows more about it, because he has studied the subject 

 more than you. There isn't much luck in gardens — just knowledge. If you want to 

 "know" this is your opportunity to get the most complete library of garden knowledge 

 at a small cost and on easy terms. Every book in the Garden Library is authoritative, 

 practical and complete. 



THE GARDEN LIBRARY 



It tells how to treat your soils, how to plant and care for 

 flowers and vegetables, and what varieties grow best under 

 different conditions. In it the whole field of practical garden- 

 ing is covered, and what is more, it shows you how to get 

 gardening results. 



Written by specialists — every sentence, idea, suggestion — 

 experiment in it thoroughly tried out before it was put on 

 paper — not theory, but facts. 



12 volumes — 450 pictures and diagrams. Everything clearly 

 photographed and planned — nothing left to chance mis- 

 understanding. Bound in strong buckram — of a garden 

 green — stamped in darker green. "l. Poweii. 



Before the Planting Season Goes Send Your Approval Order 

 If you have a home in the country, if you have a spot large enough for a garden — if you are interested in 

 the growing of flowers and vegetables — whether you own a window box. a suburban home or a vast 

 country estate — if you grow things or hope to. you need the Garden Library. We are so sure 

 you will agree with us once you have seen it, that we will send it to you subject to ten days' 

 examination. 



Simply send in the enclosed order blank and the books will come 

 SEND NO to y° u - If >: ou decide to keep them, pay by small monthly S" ,A ^ , 



Mr\ 111 rv installments, if not return them at our expense; you will owe _»^ . O --.•l<-1. c ^.V-^ ;> 



UlN t I us nothing. Before you have paid for the books, you wilt 

 be eating the tomatoes they taught you to grow — and setting your table 

 with the roses they helped nourish. Send blank to-day and start that 

 garden of your dreams.
