*?" "^ 



Yes it's hot now, but— 



We'll soon be singing "Good Bye Summer" and then before you know 

 it the trees are bare, the fields blanketed in white and your garden, your 

 special pride, buried but for a few brown stalks that hold their heads 

 above the drifting snow. 



But why dwell on this picture longer? 



It is no longer necessary to see the cherished fruits of your summer's 

 labor fade away and die, for they can be transferred to your indoor 

 garden and there flourish with renewed vigor. 



American Greenhouses & Gardens contains a host of valuable sug- 

 gestions about indoor gardens — suggestions that are bound to interest 

 you. May we not send it to you gratis?
