Gardening Efficiency 



Is largely a matter of correct tools for different purposes. After the garden is 

 made, results depend mostly on cultivation. It kills weeds, aerates the soil and 

 conserves moisture. All this is done in the easiest manner with the 



PERFECTION GARDEN CULTIVATOR 



The lightest cultivator on the market, hence easy to operate. A perfect machine to do the job of 

 cultivating completely; it cuts the weeds, pulverizes the soil, throws the soil to or from the rows. 

 Leaf-lifters prevent injury to plants. A simple change of bolts automatically adapts the machine to 

 shallow or deep cultivation, deep for use on loam or shallow cultivation on heavy clay. Of simplest 

 construction and strongest workmanship.

The Glory of the Garden" 



is the name I give to my choice 

 Gladioli. Peace, the 

 grandest white variety; 

 War, a deep blood red 

 sort, and Prosperity, with 

 its wonderful markings of 

 light rose, madder lake 

 and chamois yellow, with 

 long, slender anthers of 

 purple violet, all have 

 their devotees, for the 

 long upright spikes of 

 large blooms are a de- 

 lightful siglit nearly all 

 summer. 



Blooms All 

 Summer Through 



In a short time after 

 the bulbs from Meadowvale 

 Farms are planted the stiff, 

 upright spikes will be loaded with 

 lovely flowers of white, red, blue in 

 dozens of tints and shades. "The 

 Glory of the Garden" it really is. 

 My handsome brochure will tell you 

 more about the Gladiolus; your name and address will 

 bring you a copy FREE.
