"PENNSYLVANIA" 



Quality Lawn Mowers 



A RE always sharp, because they have cru- 

 ** cible, tool-steel blades, hardened and tem- 

 pered in oil. The kind of steel used in making 

 all high-grade cutting tools. No other mowers 

 use this grade of steel; that is why " Pennsyl- 

 vania" Quality Mowers have been in a class 

 by themselves for 30 years. 



If you want an actual self-sharpening Mower, that will do 

 thoroughly first-class work almost indefinitely, without the 

 constant expense of regnnding, ask your hardware dealer or 

 seedsman to show you one of the " Pennsylvania " makes. 





THE MEHLER HANDY GARDENER 



More and Better Work In Less Time 



Puts three tools in your hand at one time — cultivator, weeder and hoe. 

 Indispensable for Flower or Vegetable Gardens. Overcomes danger of 

 using hoe in cultivating young plants and vines. By arrangement of the 

 teeth you not only cultivate on three sides but at the right place with one 

 stroke. A great saving to your knees and back. If your dealer does not 

 carry The Handy Gardener send us his name and we will send you 

 descriptive circular and see that you are supplied.
