Solves Labor Problem 



By A. F. J. Baur, Secre- 

 tary oj the American 

 Carnation Society 



From "The Florists' Review,' 

 Feb. 10, 19Z1 



"Seeing a discussion in the 

 columns of Tlie Review re- 

 garding the merits of motor- 

 driven cultivators, I feel 

 Impelled to add a word re- 

 garding our experience along 

 that line. It is a most im- 

 portant matter to the trade 

 and will be more so as time 

 goes on. 



"About a year ago we pur- 

 chased a Merry Garden Cul- 

 tivator. We judged that 

 this Implement was just 

 about what we wanted here 

 for cultivating young carna- 

 tion plants in the field, and 

 for any other cultivating of 

 a similar nature. 



"Up to last spring we had 

 been using Planet Junior 

 man-power cultivators. 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 summer, 

 with a slightly enlarged 

 planting, we found it pos- 

 sible to do all our cultiva- 

 tion with this one Merry 

 Garden Auto-Cultivator. It 

 did the work in the same 

 time as the four man-culti- 

 vators and did better work. 

 We would not think of part- 

 ing 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 cultiva- 

 tor and the Merry Garflen i.« 

 just the ticket for that." 

 A. F. J. BAUR, 



Secretary, The American 

 Carnation Society.

"The Merry Garden Auto- 

 Cultivator 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."

Do your discing, cultivating, 

 weeding, furrowing, hilling, 

 in one-fourth the time it takes 

 with a hand implement, with a 



Merry Garden 

 Auto-Cultivator 



A man or boy can do the work of four men in the same time and 

 do it more thoroughly. It works where another cultivator can't 

 be used, on any kind of soil. Digs deeper and gets close to roots 

 when desired. Straddles narrow rows, works between wider ones. 

 Enclosed gears prevents loss from mutilated plants and exhausts 

 to side also protects them. Also operates 30-inch lawnmower. 



So easy and simple to operate it's play for a boy and recreation for 

 a man. Makes a pleasant chore of an otherwise hard day's work. 

 Hundreds of owners from coast to coast say they would not part 

 with their Merry Garden at any price if they could not buy another. 



Equipped with pulley and stand for stationary work, such as: 

 pumping, washing, etc.
