A Word of Cheer 
on a Cheerful Subject 
Have you ever en- 
joyed the joyful job of 
gathering a bunch of lus- 
cious Pears or Apples 
from your own trees? If you haven’t, 
you’ve got a big pleasure coming, for sooner 
or later, you’ll have those fruit trees you 
are planning to plant some day. While 
the planning is going on, consider that 
Dwarf Trees Yield 
Big Crops 
They are bearers, big bearers of big 
fruit from small space — the ideal combin- 
ation in this age of intensive cultivation. 
Figuring returns per square foot of space 
occupied, and amount of attention re- 
quired, Dwarf Trees outyield some stand- 
ard trees many times. 
A Copy of Our Free Catalogue 
should be handy during your garden plan- 
ning hours, and it will tell you about 
the Dwarf Trees. May we mail it now?

We Will Teach You 
Gardening Fundamentals 
Add to your success and pleasure by mastering the funda- 
mentals of gardening. Avail yourself of the HOME 
STUDY COURSE IN GARDENING, published in the 
Gardeners’ Chronicle, under the direction of Mr. Arthur 
Smith, widely known as an authority on all phases of 
horticulture. It will help you to grow more delicious vege- 
tables, more luscious fruits and more beautiful flowers. 
This Home Study Course 
teaches you not only what to do but also “the why and 
the wherefore” of each gardening operation. It gives you 
a deeper understanding of plant life and of its needs than 
you have ever had before. A lesson on a seasonable sub- 
ject relating to the home garden appears regularly each 
month in the columns of the Gardeners’ Chronicle. No 
home gardener can afford to miss these practical, helpful 
lessons. They are entertaining as well as instructive. 
GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE 
A publication which will be of inestimable help and benefit to 
you in your garden work. 
Its pages are devoted exclusively to gardening. Its notes on 
the growing of flowers, fruits and vegetables are both precise and 
practical. They do not leave the reader in doubt on methods of 
procedure. 
The special articles each month are from the pens of the fore- 
most gardeners and horticulturists in America. Its digests are 
from the leading horticultural periodicals of both America and 
the European countries. 
The Gardeners’ Chronicle provides a fund of helpful knowledge 
for all interested in gardening, and is creating among its readers 
a real gardening spirit, by interpreting the true and lasting joys 
and benefits of gardening. It aims to perpetuate the nation- 
wide interest that has been aroused in American home gardens.
