THE GUIDE TO NATURE— ADVERTISEMENTS 
VII 
An Inspiration. 
It is a real joy to see Dreer’s Garden 
Book on our desk. It gives one a feel- 
ing that spring and summer are not far 
off. The catalogue, though issued 
largely for commercial purposes, has 
real nature study value. The illustra- 
tions are as beautiful as those that may 
be found in any elaborate textbook of 
botany. The color plates not only in- 
spire love for the vegetables or flowers 
portrayed, but are in themselves works 
of art. It would seem as if every lover of 
the great outdoors — and who is there 
that does not belong in that class? — 
would be glad to accept the invitation 
to send for a free copy. When our 
readers and friends do that, will they 
not kindly mention The Guide to Na- 
ture? In giving this notice we have a 
kindly disposition towards the Dreer 
house and toward every one of our 
readers. All we ask in return is that 
you will reciprocate and speak kindly 
of us.

like these beckon, there’s bound 
to be a wave of customers. 
Nature herself doesn’t blend 
colors any prettier, or richer, or 
as lasting. 
And it’s only natural that early 
choosing should yield greatest 
reward.
