A Whole Day's Work in One-Fourth 

 the Time and Healthier Plants Besides 



1^ ^, ^^ ^^ 



This year with its many changes in market prices requires a 

 bigger crop at lower cost to keep your income from coming 

 down. Labor is still high. But what's the use of hiring men 

 for hand cultivating when you can do your cultivating, discing, 

 harrowing, furrowing and weeding in one-fourth the time with a 



Merry Garden 

 Auto- Cultivator 



It's a proven fact that one man with a Merry Garden can do 

 the same work as four men with hand implements, and do it 

 easier. With a Merry Garden you can cultivate deeper, get 

 as close to roots as desired, cultivate oftener and raise sturdier 

 plants. You can use a Merry Garden where a hand or horse 

 drawn implement can't be used. Straddles narrow rows, goes 

 between wide ones and works on any kind of soil. Also operates 

 30-inch lawnmower. No danger of mutilating plants, as gears 

 are enclosed and exhaust is to side. 



Easy to handle. It makes a pleasant chore out of an otherwise 

 day's drudgery. Equipment which can be furnished consists 

 of 30-inch lawnmower, power pulley frame for stationary power 

 work, tool steering device and 3 or 4 row seeder.

Solves Labor Problem

 American Carnaticm Society

"Seeing a discussion in the columns of 

 The Review rcKardinR the merits of mo- 

 tor-driven cultivators, I feel Impelled to 

 add a word regarding 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 purcha.sed a Merry 

 Garden Cultivator. We judged that this 

 Implement was just about what we wanted 

 here for cultivating young carnation 

 plants in the field, and for any other cul- 

 tivating 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 possible to do all 

 our cultivation with this one Merry Gar- 

 den 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 cultiva- 

 tor and the Merry Garden is just the ticket 

 for that." A. F. .1. BAUR, 



Secretary, The -•American 

 Carnation Society.

"The Merry Garden Auto-Cultivator 

 easily pays for itself in labor saved every 

 30 days. On our jjlaie, one man cultivated, 

 in 3 hour.s, a patch usually re(iuiring two 

 men, with liand cultivators, a day and a 

 half. "Besides, the job was done twice as 

 deep." HURKHARDT FLORAT^ CO.,
