Growing Knowledge 
The knowledge of how to grow flowers well comes 
from one source only—experience. Deanette M. 
Small, the owner of Topnotch Gardens, and former 
garden editor of the Chicago Herald-American, has 
had over a quarter century of general farm and 
garden growing. Those who have heard her speak 
on the practical side of horticulture or how to plan 
a successful fiower show admit that her lectures are 
“alive, stimulating, and most educational.” 
If your garden or woman’s club needs a good, 
live sneaker this coming fal! and winter, now is the 
time to prepare for it. Full information on dates 
available, lecture subjects and prices mailed on 
request. Write James H. Small, Manager, Waldean 
Farm, Chesterton, Indiana.
