We’ll Buy You a Sun-Dial 
—or a Package of Seeds 
. ' * 
There isn’t anything too important—or too small 
—for House & Garden to buy for you. It will buy 
a splendid and irreproachable stand-there-through- 
the-ages sort of stone base for your sun-dial. Or 
it will make sure that you get a package of sweet- 
pea seeds that will blossom next summer into pre¬ 
cisely the shade of salmon pink you want. You 
can sit on a garden bench bought by House & 
Garden if you like and watch them do it. There 
really isn’t anything about your house, inside or 
out, that can’t be had through the 
House & Garden 
SHOPPING SERVICE 
Now that spring’s here, the Shopping Service ex¬ 
pects to be asked for garden furniture and clip¬ 
pers and trowels and hardy annuals—and advice 
as to how to use any and all of them. 
But the spring urge is felt in chintz hangings and 
verandah tables as well as in herbaceous borders 
and tulip beds. The Shopping Service can hardly , 
keep out of the shops long enough to answer its 
letters—there are so many new things to buy. 
Y on know very well it’s your economies you re¬ 
gret—not your extravagances. How about that 
wicker chaise longue you wanted—and didn’t get 
because you had a sudden rush of New England 
conscience to the pocket? House & Garden knows 
where it can get you the most comfortable—and 
becoming—chaise longue in the world. Do you 
want porcelain birds for your mantel? House & 
Garden knows where the most brilliant and Orien¬ 
tal ol them gather. Bird houses for your garden? 
The Shopping Service is a real estate agent for 
bird houses. 
You have a house, ami a garden, and a cliecjue book — and you need 
things foi both of them. And here we are with the shops at our door, 
and a lot of experience. Aren’t we just the people you want ?
