Do You Know the Delights 
of a “Glad” Garden? 
There is an allurement 
about the Gladiolus. The reedy 
foliage; the stiff, upright spike 
clothed with flowers of sunset 
tints; its superb qualities when 
cut—make the Gladiolus one of 
our favored flowers. 
My booklet “The Glory of 
the Garden” will tell you 
about all these wonderful 
blooms. A copy is ready to mail 
on receipt of your name and 
address.

Why Not Ask 
House & Garden? 
Now, when every garden lover feels 
the urge to get out with a trowel and 
dig in the dirt; when every home 
owner begins to think about raking 
the yard and to look hopefully for 
crocuses under the south wall or par¬ 
snips behind the grape arbor—House 
& Garden is ready to advise you what 
to do next. What to plant—where 
and when to plant it—and seven 
pages of Planting Tables in this issue. 
N EVER since the time of Adam and 
Eve lias so much emphasis been 
laid on gardening. Never to the 
place reserved for growing things, from 
the estate of wide productive acres to 
the city backyard newly invested with 
tomatoes and lentils, has a like prestige 
been accorded. 
This reversion to the soil is not entirely 
a bread-and-butter matter. It means, as 
you are already learning, all sorts of de¬ 
velopments in the less practical aspects 
of gardening—floriculture, garden fur¬ 
nishings, landscape architecture. 
To help you in any and all problems that 
may arise, we place House & Garden at 
your disposal. Our experts are reliable, 
their services are free of charge. Do not 
hesitate to avail yourselves of their co¬ 
operation. Send your gardening prob¬ 
lems to the
