 a valuable asse 



Some folks cultivate a garden for the sake of always having fresh 

 vegetables for their table; others for the healthful exercise it affords; 



many have done so as a patriotic duty; and others, to make a little extra money "on 



the side." Whatever has been your purpose, the idea is commendable. 



There is however such a splendid opportunity to put the home garden on a 

 more profitable basis from every standpoint that we want to tell you about it. 



Thorough cultivation is the basis of all crop-improvement, and the use of ( 

 up-to-date garden tools is the most vital factor. \, 



Planet Jr. tools, which have been evolved from forty -five years' experience 

 at practical crop-cultivation and manufacturing, represent the highest 

 type of farm and garden implements ever made. They are so constructed 

 that the most thorough cultivation is possible, thus allowing air and 

 moisture to have free access to the growing plants and enabling them to 

 absorb the maximum of nourishment from the soil, which in time produces 

 strong, vigorous, prolific plants and larger and better crops. 



Planet Jr. tools because of their scientific construction are easy to operate — 

 they take the drudgery out of labor and give real pleasure in the care of a 

 garden. Because of their practical design they are great savers of time — 

 in fact they enable you to cultivate in one-half to one-third the time 

 required with ordinary tools.
