— Send for Booklet 

T HIS new booklet No. 215 tells you 
exactly how you can, with surpris- 
ingly little trouble, have a winter 
garden under glass. One from which 
you can be having vegetables and 
flowers weeks before seeds are even 
planted outside. It shows you how to 
get a running start on your outdoor 
flower and vegetable garden ; and how 
to boost it busily after it is started. 
Dame Spring comes late nowadays. 
The use of frames is the way to over- 
come her exasperating lagginess. They 
turn garden uncertainties into certain- 
ties. -The booklet tells you, what, 
when and how to plant. 
Order the sash and frames early. Get 
started. Send for the booklet.

The Firm of 
Reader, Advertiser 
& Co. 
W E WONDER 1 iow t many of 
our readers appreciate how 
close a bond of sympathy 
holds us— the reader, the advertiser 
and the publisher — together? In a 
way, this magazine may be likened 
to a huge company in which all of 
us are stockholders and members 
of the Board of Directors at the 
same time. 
Each month, we put before you a 
complete report of the month’s 
horticultural happenings and ac- 
tivities. Each month, we invite 
you to attend our garden “meet- 
ings.” Do you know what a most 
unusual thing these meetings might 
become if every member of this big 
company made up his (or her) mind 
to attend these meetings regularly 
by writing at least one letter a 
month? These thousands of letters 
would constitute a force that would 
make itself felt throughout the 
horticultural world. 
In a measure, we are all trying to 
serve each other. The readers are 
helping by relating each other’s 
experience and patronizing the ad- 
vertisers; the advertisers are helping 
by telling the fascinatingly intimate 
stories about their own businesses 
and wares; lastly we are trying to 
present in timely installments all 
that is worthy of being printed, on 
the subject of gardening in all its 
phases. And now, we of your com- 
pany ask that you do us a favor. 
It won’t take much to grant it and 
will help lots to make our business 
partnership a success! 
Please, say, “I saw it in The 
Garden Magazine,” when writing 
our advertisers. It will help you to 
get just what you want. It will 
help the advertiser to a stronger, 
firmer faith in your power as stock- 
holders. It will help us to work 
toward higher ideals in which plans 
for a bigger, better Garden Maga- 
zine play an important role. 
This is one of the very biggest 
single numbers in the history of The 
Garden Magazine. All of you, 
who read this, have helped to make 
it so. Will you help to still bigger 
achievements by displaying an ac- 
tive interest in subsequent “direc- 
tor” meetings, scheduled for the 
first of each month?
