The Imported Holland Fibre takes 
the place of soil. Simply put it in pots 
or vases, plant the bulbs barely cover- 
ing the crowns, and water. Put away 
in a dark, cool place for five or six weeks 
and bring to light and moderate warmth 
about middle of November. Four weeks 
later should see you rewarded with a 
bouquet of fragrance and beauty. Other 
flowers that may be grown this way 
are fully described in

Make Some Girl Happy! 
Everywhere throughout this broad land of ours are 
healthy, happy girls that revel in outdoor exercise. 
These outdoor girls think of others like them, in un- 
usual ways. What happened in one instance, in con- 
nection with a most appropriate gift, is related here: — 
Here is an actual letter sent us by a 
grateful customer and enthusiastic 
Gilsonite — 
Huntington, Long Island, 
June 17, 1920. 
Dear Ruth: — 
Of course, I thanked you at Christ- 
mas time, when the Gilson Weeder 
came, for the gift — but that is now to 
be regarded as a purely academic 
thank you! For to-day I have been 
using the tool — it is the first chance 
I have had this summer — and upon 
my word, I wonder how I ever lived 
without it. It’s perfectly fascinating 
to watch the way it decapitates the 
weeds, and cuts off the top half-inch 
of soil like frosting from a cake! Of 
course you know nothing about gar- 
dening (?) consequently you do not 
know how important it is to do just 
this; but take my word, my dear, it 
was my good fairy if not yours, that 
sent this Gilson Weeder idea your 
way in time to be my Christmas 
present. (And of course I think 
of you every time I use it — so you 
see how abundantly you are re- 
warded!) 
Yours ever, 
Grace. 
We will not let you 
wonder who 
“Grace” is — 
We commit no indis- 
cretion when we state 
that Miss Grace 
Tabor, well-known 
landscape architect 
and editorial writer 
forGarden Magazine, 
is the author of above 
letter, as sent to us 
by the recipient. We 
are sure there are 
thousands among 
Garden Magazine 
readers who will ap- 
preciate the Gilson 
Weeder Gift idea as 
much as Miss Tabor 
did. 
Now, then, get pen and paper and 
favor us with your Order 
We will gladly send a six inch Gilson Weeder neatly packed in a 
box, easily attached to any rake handle you may have (we recom- 
mend a 6 foot rake handle for most efficient work), for $1.35 post- 
paid, to any address, in time to arrive at Christmas. 
A descriptive booklet showing other Gilson Garden 
Tools, may give you more ideas on how to make 
others happy. Gladly mailed free on request.
