For Sweet Pea Lovers 

 and Others 



T1/"0ULDN'T you like to have at only 

 * » the cost of a postal, a Garden Guide 

 that really is a guide? 



One that contains the advice of an expert 

 Sweet Pea grower, for instance, with 14 

 pages devoted to Sweet Peas alone? 



One that gives you a hundred-and-one 

 gardening helps, besides making numerous 

 suggestions for securing unusual results in 

 your garden. 



Just such a catalog is this year's Garden 

 Guide of Boddington's. 



It's a combination catolog and dictionary 

 of gardening for seeds, bulbs, plants, and 

 roses. A postal brings it.

Special Garden Frame Offer 

 16 for $13. 



THIS means 1 6 of our little portable green- 

 houses for $13, and includes 



10 Single Plant Frames 

 2 Single Row Frames 

 4 Junior Melon Frames 



1 1% x 13 inches 

 34% x 13 inches 

 19% x 20% inches 



Every one of these frames is made of cypress ("the wood eternal") bolted 

 together with strong iron comer braces. The Single Row and Melon Frames 

 have movable sash, the Single Plant slideable glass set in grooves. 



There's nothing like the fun of gardening when gardening is done with the 

 help of frames. So give your garden a fair and square chance this year by 

 starting it several weeks ahead in frames. Start cucumbers and melons in 

 them — hustle along all your vegetable seeds — push forward your rhubarb a 

 couple of weeks — start cosmos and have weeks of bloom before frost. When 

 the rest of your gardening friends are just planting seeds you will have good, 

 husky, growing plants. 



Send for our Two P Booklet; it tells all about our 6 different sizes' of 

 frames and gives you just the getting started hints you want for either vege- 

 tables or flowers. Every day's delay in getting started now counts for at 

 least three against your results along in June. So it's best to order promptly.
