Garden Frames^ 



THEY will short cut your garden from four 

 to six weeks. When you neighbors' toma- 

 toes, for example, are in blossom, yours will 

 be showing green fruit the size of black walnuts. 

 From radishes up to corn, there's not a thing 

 in your kitchen garden our Garden Frames will 

 not successfully boost. And as for your flowers 

 — who wouldn't spend a few dollars and a 

 little extra bother to have blooms in May 

 rather than July. Some of the flowers you have 

 naver been able to grow are easy enough with 

 the help of our frames. 



We make them in six sizes and varying 



prices from $3.75 for 5 of ^$ 

 the Pony Junior Frames stf^

 low — up to the larger frames 

 made for sash 3x6 feet. 



Send for our Garden Frame Book- 

 let. It is a thoroughly reliable guide 

 to the most advanced methods of gardening 

 with Frames. Three pages are devoted to 

 the personal experiences of a Suburbanit 6 

 with his 3 sash frame. It's told in a chatty 

 likeable way and accompanied by photos taken 

 by himself.
