HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 



TOOLS OR IMPLEMENTS 



*TPO EXECUTE the planned garden, you should have 

 * certain tools. The number and variety of too'.s 

 needed depends entirely on the size of the garden and the 

 variety of crops grown. But a number of simple tools 

 are required to make even the smallest garden, and these 

 are shown above. 



A spade to dig the soil; a rake to level it and get out 

 stones; a line to get the furrows and paths straight; a 

 hoe with which to make the furrows and cultivate the 

 plants; a trowel for transplanting purposes, and an Ex- 

 celsior hand weeder for stirring the soil between the plants 

 in the row these are the principal tools needed to make a 

 garden of modest dimensions. 



With a garden, size 20 x 50 or larger, it pays to have 

 that greatest of all garden labor savers, the wheelhoe. 

 There are several types of them, all equally practical and 

 inexpensive.
