' 'Breathes there a man with soul so dead 

 Who never to himself hath said, *' 



I Want a Garden 



but I'm not going to get down on 

 my hands and knees and sow by 

 hand and weed or break my back 

 over that old hoe. I want the garden 

 for I know that, in it, I would find 

 relaxation for mind and body and a 

 great appetite easily satisfied, no little 

 satisfaction in producing part at 

 least of my living at a lower cost, a 

 variety for my table without waiting 

 for huckster or grocer, and quality 

 such as they cannot sell to me." 



Well, men (and women, too) you 

 don't need to work hard to get your 

 wish — 



IRQNAGE 



Garden Drills and Wheel Hoes 



do the work for you. They are practical, 

 every-day tools, which when set to do cer- 

 tain work, need only to be pushed ahead 

 a step at a time. They do all of the hoe- 

 ing, cultivating, weeding, ridging, etc., open 

 furrows and cover them and plow in some 

 soils. The drills open the furrow, sow the 

 seed, cover and roll it and mark the next 

 row. High wheels, steel tube frame and self- 

 cleaning side hoes distinguish Iron Age tools. 



Ask your dealer about them and write 



us for booklet, "Gardening With 



Modern Tools" and copy of Iron 



Age Farm and Garden News.

An Everlasting Trowel 



This garden trowel is made from highest grade cru- 

 cible steel. The blade is one-sixteenth oj an inch 

 thick. The blade, shank and socket-are forged from 

 one solid piece. The maple handle fits right and is 

 fastened to stay, with a steel rivet — a quality tool 

 that will last a lifetime. 



Garden Tools 



are all of proved quality. They have 

 earned and kept a good name for nearly 

 half a century. Ask your dealer to show 

 you a Keen Kutter nursery spade for trans- 

 planting shrubs, bushes and small trees. 

 Double steel straps entire length of 

 handle. A better spade doesn't exist.

 ny that they seem veritable 

 open air summer gardens.

 casting supports every 

 "King" house from the inex- 

 pensive portables to the big conservatories are practical and productive because 

 back of them are years of experience in building for professional growers. In ad- 

 dition the channel Bar Construction permits of rare beauty and grace of design.
