Start Your 
Spring Buds 
February is an ideal month to 
begin the actual work of beauti¬ 
fying your garden and grounds. 
Plant the tiny seeds in boxes be¬ 
side the kitchen window. Use 
every ray of the bright winter’s 
sunshine. You can have pansies, 
heliotrope, verbenas, hollyhocks, 
tomatoes, celery, cauliflower. 
All these and a host of other 
things may be sown early so that 
by the time the frost is out of the 
ground they will be grown plants 
ready to set out. 
Avoid the Drudgery 
Then you will escape the drudgery of 
tedious "thinning out" and unnecessary 
weeding. Then you plant everything 
where it is to stay—in perfect sym¬ 
metry. Your garden and grounds are 
well started and you get the full hap¬ 
piness out of every one of the out-doors 
months. 
‘‘Indoor Gardening” 
Mr. F. F. Rockwell is one of America's lead¬ 
ing garden experts. He explains the knack 
of getting maximum results with the least 
efforts. 
He talks about the right tools, the right soils, 
the right times to plant. Everything he writes 
has a little touch of individuality. He sug¬ 
gests, as if to you. especially, little secrets 
I you want to know in his article 'Indoor Gar¬ 
dening,” in the March House & Garden. 
This number tells you also what to do to en¬ 
sure a perfect garden and well arranged 
grounds—a complete guide for the practical 
home-lover. 
Among the many valuable home-beautifying 
suggestions in this March Spring Garden 
Guide are: 
Lift in the Garden—a delightful essay by A. C. 
Benson; Starting the Garden Indoors—F. F. Rock¬ 
well; Planting Tables for Flowers and Vegetables; 
Tables for Spraying; A Garden Laid Out Around a 
Windmill; Success with Strawberries; Moving Large 
Trees—Covering the Bare Spots Almost Over Night; 
Cane Fruits for the Small Place; The Early Vege¬ 
table Garden , etc. 
A $3.00 Investment may save 
you $300, or even $3,000 
Surely this is a good investment when you 
consider that for $3 you may save $300. or 
even $3,000 or more, perhaps uselessly spent 
on furnishings that do not harmonize, on gar¬ 
dening which does not please, or on building 
which is not practical or useful.

be destructive, yet large enough to 
do the work. 
As a household pet he is clean and 
gentlemanly in his habits; short- 
haired; immune from most of the 
canine diseases; a staunch, sturdy 
friend. 
He is physically strong enough to 
accept accidental abuse from a child 
without retaliation and above all 
“He isn’t a big dog, but he has a things, never treacherous, 
big dog’s disposition”—An ideal pet One of his greatest virtues is the

The German Police Dog 
A Teutonic dog with both English 
and French ancestors. 
Sounds queer in these war times 
doesn’t it? But not so queer when 
you stop to think that a lot of us 
Americans have English, French and 
German ancestors, too. Also when 
you remember that King George, 
and the Kaiser and the Czar are all 
cousins. 
One of the German Police Dog’s big 
qualities is his smartness. And when 
you say smart, you mean both his 
intelligence and his looks. 
He is a sagacious companion; will 
learn your ways quickly. He isn’t 
too large to keep indoors, nor too 
small to act as a guard against in¬ 
truders. 
Taking him all and all with his su¬ 
preme courage, his ability to get 
around and his tendency to mind his 
own business, the German Police 
Dog is a dog you won’t get tired of, 
rather you will find him a real home 
companion and friend.

Plan Your 
Garden Now 
Do you know what to plant 
and where to get it? 
Do you know how to make 
your soil yield the best re¬ 
sults? Are you familiar with 
the tools necessary to do the 
work with the least labor? 
How should vegetables be 
planted to get the right suc¬ 
cessions ? What flowers 
bloom the first year — and 
which are perennials? 
Begin planning your garden now and 
store up practical information that will 
save you costly mistakes. 
Before the first rohin flaunts his red 
breast upon your lawn, you should know 
when and where to buy your seed, gar¬ 
den implements, fertilizer and every 
similar item for Spring planting. 
Preparedness in the Garden 
“But how?” you say. “How may I secure all 
the information I need without endless search¬ 
ing and needless expense? How can I be sure 
that my garden and grounds will be artistic, 
beautiful and successful—and bring me real 
happiness without disappointment?" 
A New Plan 
Here is a new plan. Below you will find a 
coupon. It has been designed to make home¬ 
making practical. It is to be used by one 
who wishes to secure a full knowledge of gar¬ 
dening matters. 
Information Without Cost 
We have found a way to answer all your 
questions without obligating you—a way that 
will satisfactorily give you the information 
you desire. Without expense you can secure 
information on any of the subjects indicated 
or others that you may select—all from re¬ 
liable sources, hook over the list. Check the

many questions as you choose relating to all 
phases of gardening, building and decoration 
—in fact—everything pertaining to the subject 
of house and garden and whatever associates 
itself with it. 
Send the Coupon 
Enclose it in an envelope or paste it on a 
postal. Or if you prefer you might write a 
letter. We will see that you are supplied with 
valuable information that possibly may save
