How to Make It Help Hoover Earlier in 1918 



IIVE it a running -start via cold 

 frames — that's how. 



Don't be content to wait on a lagging 

 Spring. Meet it half-way — or more than 

 half way. Set out your seedlings in cold 

 frames during February and early March. 

 Give them a chance to grow into strong, 

 sturdy plants, while your "open air" gar- 

 den is still tied up tight in frost knots. 



Then when gentle Spring finally does 

 deign to visit us "for keeps," you can 

 transplant your well-established plants in 



your garden, while your neighbor is just 

 setting out his seedlings. You will have 

 a running-start on him, of from six 

 weeks' to two months. 



You will not only have earlier vege- 

 tables — you will have more vegetables, 

 better vegetables. 



Send for our Booklet Number 215. 

 It tells of the Pleasures and Profits of 

 Cold Frames. Gives you a line on their 

 possibilities. Is, in fact, a regular cold- 

 frame manual.
