Planning for GREATER 

 Garden Pleasures? 



The one joy of a snow clad winter world is the thought 

 of spring and the planning of greater gardens. To think 

 of bending over the fragrant earth to sow the seeds, to 

 anticipate tending the growing crops, to dwell on the 

 harvests to be gathered, such indeed are pleasant thoughts. 

 Your planning hours may be made increasingly delightful, 

 as well as profitable, if you choose as your companion 



Childs' Catalogue for 1922 



A Guide for those in Search of Unusual 

 Garden Surprises 



From the very beginning the house of John Lewis Childs has en- 

 deavored to broaden the interest in home gardening in America. For 

 many years, our catalogue has recorded progress in offering all the 

 worth-while new creations. Freely illustrated with true-to-nature 

 pictures (many in natural colors), this catalogue requests the privilege 

 of assisting you in garden planning. It matters little which phase of 

 gardening you prefer, which flowers you like most; you will find our 

 offerings in Dahlias, Gladioli, and other floral specialties just as 

 complete as those of any specialist. 



While mailed regularly to all customers of record, we desire every reader 

 of this magazine to get a copy. Ask for yours to-day, and mention 

 Garden Magazine. The Catalogue will reach you by return mail. 



Oh yes, and if there are little folks around your home, 

 just ask for our special booklet "Home Garden for 

 Children," intended as a stimulus to young America.
