Winter Your Garden 



In a Row of Our Cold Frames 



AUGUST, you know, is the month 

 in which to start your winter gar- 

 den in frames. 



It's the month to sow Swiss chard or 

 spinach. 

 The month to plant carrots and escarole. 



In September, your lettuce must be 

 started, and a start made on transferring 

 some of your flower favorites. 



In October you can put your bulbs in 

 pots and plunge them in the frames to 

 start root growth, so they can be in full 

 flower for the Holidays. 



Then before you know it, February and 

 March will be here and time to sow 

 seeds for early Spring vegetables, and 



the growing of plants for early setting 

 out. 



So you see by buying your frames now, 

 you can virtually Winter your Summer 

 garden in them, and start your Spring 

 garden while Winter is still hanging on. 



All these things are told about in our 

 Two P's booklet, on the Pleasure and 

 Profit of Cold Frames. 



It also contains a full description of 

 each kind and size of frame — nearly a 

 dozen in all — among them is just the 

 one that best fits both your needs and 

 pocket book. 



Send for The Two P's booklet. Get your 

 Winter garden started in time
