Vividly alive and expressive of the vibrant joy of spring, 



this table fountain, designed by Paul Conkling, seems 



especially made for the lover of out-of-doors 



The sharing of home-grown 

 fruits and flowers is half the 

 fun of gardening, so that a 

 basket of attractive shape 

 always appeals to the 

 gardener 



Flowers, Ivy, or a lacy Fern 

 swinging in the window de- 

 light the heart of the gar- 

 dener. This basket of 

 creamy faience with its bold 

 design in royal blue, rich 

 green, and a touch of yellow, 

 proves both decorative and 

 serviceable 



Such gleeful little souls to come upon in an early morn- 

 ing stroll through the garden, laughing up at a summer 

 sky and the birds which wheel and dip to drink. 

 Fountain design by Edith Baretto Parsons

Having one's "snippers" at- 

 tached to a light yet capa- 

 cious receptacle for super- 

 fluous twigs, dead stalks, 

 etc., prevents their being 

 annoy ingly mislaid; the gar- 

 dener always welcomes fa- 

 cilitating devices of this kind
