What happy images these are.  They just sing "Spring"!

According to magazineart.org, Fruit, Garden and Home is the predecessor of Better Homes and Gardens.  The image above is the cover of the final issue under the old title;  the August, 1924 issue came out under the new name of Better Homes and Gardens.

As a fan of both ephemera and shelter magazines, that's an interesting tidbit!
