OU READ THE GARDEN MAGAZINE because you are interested in gardening, 

 and get from its pages many helpful suggestions for making the garden more 

 successful. For the same reason you should read the Iron Age Book, describing 



the most modern, approved and scientific tools for bringing the garden to the highest 



state of productiveness with the least labor. 



In the Iron Age 'Book you read about the wonderful Iron 

 Age Tools, from which it gets its title — not " tools " as you usually think of them, but 

 implements, so marvelous in their range of work, so accurate in their performances 

 that they seem almost ** human," 



Just think of a tool so light a child can manage it ; so strong the heaviest hand will not injure 

 it — that will, with its various attachments, break and open the ground, distribute the fertilizer, 

 plant the seed in hills or drills and cover it at uniform depth — that's planting ! When it comes to 

 cultivation, this same tool will hoe, rake, plow, harrow and weed. 



Think of all this controlled by-one pair of handles, and you have an idea of one — only one — of 

 the many Iron Age Tools, the only complete line of practical, labor-saving, crop-insuring farm and 

 garden implements made in the <zvorld. 



To undertake to get the best from a garden without reading this Iron Age Book, and at least 

 learning of the opportunities it affords you, is like trying to run a railroad without watch or time- 

 table. Let us send you THIS PROFIT MAKING BOOK FREE.

A Good Spray Pump earns big profits 

 and lasts years.

THE 



"Apollo" Sweeper 



is an ideal time and labor-saving machine for the care of 



Lawns, Golf-greens, Porches, Walks, Barn=floors; 



etc. It takes the place of broom and shovel, sweeping and gathering all in 

 one operation. The sweepings are carried into the box attached, (see cut,) 

 doing away with the need of basket or cart for collecting the sweepings. 



Beautiful Lawns 



are produced by the use of the "APOLLO" sweeper, because instead of 

 injuring the grass or tearing it up as a rake does, the action of the fibre 

 bristles promotes the growth of the turf, makes the grass thick and pro- 

 duces a rich, green, "velvety" appearance, instead of a dull gray or brown 



color. It removes every particle of cut and dead grass, leaves, twigs, manure, dirt, etc. If your dealer cannot supply you, write 



us and we will send a sweeper on 10 Days Approval. Booklet Free.
