Any Tub Is Pool Enough 



You've seen Water-Lilies growing in large concrete pools — 

 such pools are nice, but not essential. 



Even a cliff-dweller could raise Water-Lilies if he owned a water- 

 tight barrel or tub. A little dirt in the bottom and a little 

 water on top — presto — you get a garden novelty unsurpassed. 



Three Lilies in Color 



with many other helpful illustrations and descriptions will be 

 found in our 1 922 catalogue. It gives easy methods of growing 

 Lilies; hints for water gardens. Put your name on a postcard 

 and send for a copy.

Here's a Special Message 



to Every Secretary 



of Every Garden Club:— 



FOR almost ten years we have preached the 

 gospel of better gardens through the use of 

 Gilson Garden Tools. Yet, while addressing 

 one of the liveliest garden clubs in the East 

 the other day, the writer discovered that" 

 not one of about 75 members present had 

 ever heard of the Gilson Weeder. 



We wish to remedy this and make the 

 following unprecedented, unconditional 

 offer to every Secretary: — 



Write us on your club's stationery, and 

 send along the names of 10 or more ac- 

 tive members and we will mail you, free 

 of charge, a 5 inch Gilson Weeder, as 

 shown alongside — minus handle, easily 

 secured at any hardware store. 



The only request is that you show 

 the Gilson Weeder at the next meeting 

 of your club. In turn we promise not 

 to annoy your friends with 

 aught but a little booklet 

 described below. 



The Complete Gilson 

 Line Embraces: 



Gilson Weeder as shown above in three sizes and in 

 both hand and wheelhoe shape. 



Liberty Wheel-tooth Cultivator in three sizes, 

 adaptable to varying widths, available both as a hand 

 tool or as a wheelhoe as shown below. 



Scratch Weeders and Dandelion Diggers, Lawn 

 Edgers, and last not least, 



The Gilson Triplex, a combination Wheelhoe for 

 men. It brings the Gilson Weeder, the Liberty Cul- 

 tivator and a handy furrow opener all joined to a 

 pivot axle, quickly putting into position either im- 

 plement wanted without the help of tools.
