THE FIRST STEP IN GOOD GARDENING 
is also the most interesting one. It is your indoor hotbed. To be true, 
professional growers have set us an example in their outdoor hot frames 
and hot houses. But entirely too few home gardeners apply this most 
appealing and leisurely step in horticultural work which enables them to 
watch plant development. 
Perhaps one reason why many have 
not found this a reasonable feature 
of their gardening activities is that 
they are cramped for space. There 
have been considerable suggestions 
offered along this line, but of toy-like 
character and not large enough to be 
practical in producing a sufficient 
number of plants to make the trans¬ 
planting effort worthwhile. 
The problem, therefore, has been to 
secure an indoor hotbed large enough 
to interest the average home owner and apartment house dweller who looks 
forward to quick development of his garden plants in cramped quarters and 
who must have equipment easy to operate and without the usual untidy 
appearance that most makeshift boxes have offered up to this time. 
We think we have the answer to this long-endured difficulty in offering 
you the Indoor Garden Cabinet. The simplicity of its operation and its 
business-like construction will give real incentive to thousands of small 
gardeners for early results in outdoor 
gardens. 
Start this February and March to 
grow those flower specialties that actu¬ 
ally need this type of artificial forcing 
to make them fit for regal splendor the 
early part of the growing season. With 
several transplanting trays, virtually 
whole sections of your annual flower 
beds can be grown and made ready 
within a few weeks’ time for the out¬ 
door coldframe or garden bed. 
Amateurs will find this Plant Incu¬ 
bator a means for proving that almost 
anything in seeds can be grown and suc¬ 
cessfully transplanted. It too presents 
an interesting laboratory to all who may 
view from day to day the startling de¬ 
velopments from seed.
