Most everyone plants a fruit tree Some- 
time — plant yours this Spring, to gain a 
year’s time and the advantage of this season’s 
growth, without the loss of another year. This 
is reason number one. 
Soil and Season combine in the Spring to make trans- 
planting successful — reason number two. The root 
system of dwarf fruit trees readily overcomes trans- 
planting shocks. A good mulching assures complete 
success. Dwarf fruit trees planted this Spring will 
give you fruit sooner than your neighbor who plants 
a standard tree. To learn more facts worth knowing 
about our Dwarf Fruit Trees, ask for our 
Free Manual of Dwarf Tree Culture 
1 hat’s really what you wall find our 
catalogue to be. No other nursery- 
man in America pays so much atten- 
tion and tribute to Dwarf Fruit 
Trees as we do, and many pages of 
our Catalogue are devoted to their 
management and possibilities. We 
record the many phases which practi- 
cal experience has taught us wall be of 
interest to the Home Gardener. Profi- 
table crops for home use may be 
grown in almost the smallest 
backyard. These trees begin 
bearing from two to six 
years quicker than stan- 
dard trees. Illustration

tree. Dwarf Fruit Trees 
need less room and are 
easier to care for. You 
will find them a de- 
lightful, fascinating and practical hobby.

The Story Back of 
The Cloche Co. 
\\ hile in England some years ago, I became greatly inter- 
ested in the French method of intensive cultivation for vege- 
table gardens. With the help of bell-shaped glasses or 
“cloches,” this method hastens earliness and makes possible 
the growing of crops out-of-season. Because the original 
“cloches” were cumbersome, they brought forth the idea of a 
tent-shaped cloche, held together by wires. This invention I 
have further improved, so that now, one simple wire will hold 
two pieces of glass of any size. By another improvement, four 
pieces of glass are formed into a complete, movable glass house. 
To Help Home Gardeners 
Make the Garden Grow 
and produce the type of vegetables that have made the gardens of 
France famous for the intensity of their cultivation and volume of 
productiveness was the motive that caused me to bring this cloche 
to .'\merica. Encouraged by its favorable reception, and the suc- 
cesses which garden owners throughout the country scored with it, 
I added other garden sundries to my line with the result that friends 
now look upon The Cloche Company as a national department 
store of garden accessories where new inventions of merit receive 
special attention. 
The Continuous Seed and Plant Forcer 
as shown here dem- 
onstrates the use of 
cloches in a home 
garden. By this 
method, lettuce, rad- 
ishes, carrots and 
other early crops can 
be nursed to maturity 
weeks before the same 
vegeFables mature in 
the open ground with- 
out cloches. Quick 
growth adds crisp- 
ness and flavor. 
The glass protection 
insures clean vege- 
tables. As many as 
five crops, maturing 
in succession, may be 
sown in one row at 
the same time. One crop will make room for another, the ground is kept 
“busy” all the time, economy in space and labor result. I think of this 
cloche in its various forms, shapes and sizes as a most wonderful invention. 
.As an aid to the suburbanite or estate owner who delights in growing his own 
vegetables I consider it invaluable. A descriptive booklet, giving all the facts 
and details gladly mailed free.
