BREER'S 



Vegetables Under Glass. 



Health, Pleasure and Profit in Winter Work. 



The Way to Begin. 



HE Old Philadelphia Seed House of 

 Henry A. Dreer has in preparation (ready 

 in October) a small, illustrated horticul- 

 tural handbook whose character and aim are well 

 told in the title — "Vegetables Under Glass." 



It is addressed, especially, to the amateur ; to 

 the person not already acquainted with the sub- 

 ject ; to every man whose garden might as well 

 be at work as idle in the winter time ; to the 

 farmer in search of money crops ; to every soil worker and soil lover, whether the 

 object be fresh vegetables for the kitchen or dollars for the bank account. 



The book is not technical, but simple and practical. Its ideas are presented in 

 the form of pictures and illustrations, as well as in printed words. 



In brief, it tells how to grow vegetables all winter under glass ; with heat or 

 without heat ; with capital or without capital. 



It is made up from our own experience and from recent field notes and camera 

 sketches. It is thus fresh from the soil. It is not written for professional gardeners, 

 though it can hardly fail to interest the craft, whose kindly offices have aided in its 

 preparation. 



Its strongest point, perhaps, is 

 that it shows people how simple, 

 easy and feasible winter gardening 

 really is ; shows how to handle a 

 half dozen sashes, and how to work 

 from such a beginning up to any 

 desired degree — even to the half- 

 acre forcing houses of the great 

 city market gardeners. 



The little book ought to be in 

 all rural libraries. The price puts 

 it within everybody's reach. It 

 will be ready in October. 



Please send your order at once 

 for Dreer's "Vegetables Under 

 Glass." Price only 25 cents, post- 

 age prepaid.
