Are You a Real 

 =^Dirt Gardener?" 



Some gardeners grow flowers— for pleasure; 

 others grow vegetables — for profit. But there 

 is one group of home gardeners that make 

 gardens for the sheer joy of coming in 

 contact with the soil — these we think of 

 as honest-to-goodness "dirt gardeners." 

 If you enjoy a fine, level garden, 

 in perfect state of cultivation, with

GILSON 



GARDEN TOOLS 



First, The Gilson Weeder, the original 



two-edged Rocker or Scuffle Hoe that 



is as safe and effective in the hands of boys and 



girls as those of grown-ups. As shown alongside, the reverse side of it 



becomes an efficient rake with which to do extra smoothing of the soil. 



Made in three sizes for different types of gardens. 



The Liberty Cultivator, as shown below as a Wheelhoe, embodies the most scientifi- 

 cally shaped cultivator teeth to date. They sink into the soil without downward 

 pressure, cut off" weeds besides up-rooting them. Adjustable to different widths, in 

 three sizes, with five, seven and nine teeth respectively. 



The complete Gilson Line also offers Scratch Weeders, and Dande- 

 lion Diggers, in short, a practical tool for practically every purpose 

 of cultivation.
