Nature and the Greenhouse 
“ Now Nature hangs her mantle green 
On every blooming tree. 
And spreads her sheets o’ daisies white 
Out oer the grassy leaf* 
—Burns 
It's simply a matter of climate. And man supplements the work of 
nature by building a greenhouse, in which the climate is whatever he 
wills So he grows roses, and violets, and orchids, and chrysanthe¬ 
mums, or whatever he pleases, whenever he pleases, regardless or 
nature’s limitations. 
And, speaking of climate, there is no greenhouse built that gives more 
complete climatic control than the V-Bar, nor that stands higher in all- 
around adaptability and efficiency. It is economical, too, both as to 
operation and up-keep. 
You will find our photographs and plans interesting and instructive, 
and we shall be glad to show them to you.

Your Home Grounds 
How to Plant Them 
Liberty H. Bailey, of Cornell, 
has been induced to write an¬ 
other of his delightfully inform¬ 
ative planting books. 
In it, he tells you exactly the 
things you most need to know to 
successfully and lastingly beau¬ 
tify your grounds with shrubs, 
vines and trees. 
In an almost mystic way he 
has anticipated and answered 
just the things most folks want 
to know, but don’t know where 
to find out. 
At last, then, here is a book 
that gives you real help, in a 
way easy to follow. 
Sent for 10 cents each, through the courtesy of The 
American Association of Nurserymen. Write for them 
at once to the Secretary’s Office at Princeton, N. J. 
A Planet Jr. means 
a well-kept garden 
Cared for with a Planet Jr., your garden not 
only yields better but also looks better. The same 
treatment brings quick growth and good appear¬ 
ance. A Planet Jr., by keeping down the weeds, 
strengthens the plants and gives a neat, even look 
to the rows; by turning and breaking up the soil, 
it gives to the roots a proper balance of air, sunlight and moisture, 
at the same time leaving that soft, crumbled surface which makes 
well-kept soil almost as beautiful as lawn. The healthy growth 
of the plants is in itself a pleasing and inspiring sight.
