One Man With a Merry Garden 

 Did the Work of Four Men in the 

 Same Time and Did It Better 



SOLVES LABOR PROBLEM 



By A. F. J. Baur, Secretary of The 

 American Carnation Society 



From "The Florists' Review," Feb. 10, 1921 



"Seeing a discussion in the col- 

 umns of The Eeview regarding the 

 merits of motor-driven cultivators, I 

 feel impelled to add a word regard- 

 ing our experience along that line. 

 It is a most important matter to the 

 trade and will be more so as time 

 goes on. 



"About a year ago we purchased 

 a Merry Garden Cultivator. We 

 judged that this implement was just 

 about what we wanted here for cul- 

 tivating young carnation plants in 

 the field, and for any other cultivat- 

 ing of a similar nature. 



"Up to last spring we had been 

 using Planet Junior man-power cul- 

 tivators. We were obliged to put 

 four men in the field after every rain 

 in order to secure the full benefits 

 from the rain. During the past sum- 

 mer, with a slightly enlarged plant- 

 ing, we found it possible to do all 

 our cultivation with this one Merry 

 Garden Auto-Cultivator. It did the 

 work in the same time as the four 

 man-cultivators and did better work. 

 We would not think of parting with 

 this implement. 



"We break our field in the late 

 fall and work it down with the disk 

 in the spring, using the team for 

 both operations. After that, we need 

 only the light cultivator and the 

 Merry Garden is just the ticket for 

 that."

 Secretary, The American Carnation Society

"The Merry Garden Auto-Cultiva- 

 tor easily pays for itself in labor 

 saved every 30 days. On our place, 

 one man cultivated, in 3 hours, a 

 patch usually requiring two men, 

 with hand cultivators, a day and a 

 half. Besides, the job was done twice 

 as deep."

That's cutting the cost of cultivating to the bone. And 

 when you cut cost this way you profit two w^ays, i. e.,^by 

 saving the hire of three or four men and by-being able^to get 

 better prices for what you grow. With a 



Merry Garden 

 Auto-Cultivator
