With IRUEIEMPER Tool 



'' ARDEN making time is rapidly coming on 

 kj" with Spring days. 

 Whether it brings pleasant anticipations or an unwel- 

 come prospect of drudgery to you depends almost 

 entirely on the kind of tools you use. 



For good tools are like magic wands that turn garden 

 Work into exhilarating recreation. 



But insufficient and poorly made tools rob the exercise 

 of all its enjoyment and make it laborious. 



*I* *(• •$• *P 



Of first importance is the quality of the tools. 

 But scarcely second, as the most successful gardeners 

 have come to know, is the kind of tools — the value of the 

 right tool for each kind of work. 



Formerly a hoe and a spade were thought to be the 

 only things necessary to garden making 

 and tending. 



But experience has proved that a variety 

 of special-purpose tools not only lightens 

 the work but saves time. 



And actually increases results in a 

 larger and better yield. 



Quality and variety of garden tools 

 have reached their highest development in 

 the True Temper Line. 



We want you to become familiar with 

 that name — True Temper — because if 

 you have a garden it means a great deal 

 to you. 



True Temper is the brand that is put on those tools 

 that satisfactorily pass the most rigid tests at our factories 

 for quality, construction, shape, "hang," and temper. 



It means specially selected steel which produces the great- 

 est durability and just the right degree of elasticity. 



It means the finest of seasoned ash handles, as carefully 

 fashioned as if they were to go into high priced parlor furniture. 

 It means that twenty-five expert tool-makers have given 

 theirbest efforts to the several parts of each tool and that the 

 best judges have critically examined and tested the finished 

 product. It means the highest art of tool-making. 



This description accurately fits each True Temper Tool, 

 because it would not get the True Temper label if it fell short 

 in one particular. 



All tools in the True Temper Line are the inventions of 



expert gardeners, and each one is specially fitted to 

 a use that no other could fill nearly so well.

 Take the Garden Cultivator for instance — the 

 long-necked three-bladed tool pictured on this 

 page: These blades maybe adjusted by set screws or 

 removed at will. In the position shown it is used to cul- 

 tivate and loosen the soil between rows. The middle 

 blade can be removed and a row of plants straddled 

 and cultivated by one blade on each side. Furrows may 

 be run by one, two or three blades. Many uses readily 

 suggest themselves to the practical gardener. 



Or the Scuffle Hoe. You cannot begin to do the weed- 

 ing with an ordinary hoe that you can do with this tool. No 

 lifting or chopping — you just push and pull it, and the 

 work is done easily and quickly. 



Or the Warren Hoe with a blade 

 like a single shovel plow. The point 

 of the blade will make a furrow into 

 which seeds may be dropped and then 

 covered with the ears of the hoe. You 

 can work close to plants, use it for hill- 

 ing, scraping or all sorts of hoeing. It is 

 one of the handiest and most useful 

 aids to good gardening yet invented. 

 Use it once and you will wonder how 

 you ever got along without it. 



Then notice the Spading Fork, Bow 

 Rake, and regular Garden Hoe. 



Like the hundreds of other True Tem- 

 per tools, they are of the proper size and 

 weight, they hang true, they feel handy and work easily — 

 their construction is scientific. 



With all these points of excellence, True Temper Tools 

 cost you no more than ordinary good tools. They are simply 

 "the best tools you ever have bought at the same prices you 

 have always paid." 



Look them over at Hardware and Seed stores.

 and advantages of special Garden tools and good tools.
