You Might Get Along Without 

 Gilson Garden Tools, BUT — 



Gilson 

 Weeders — 



Why waste half the energy of every 

 stroke; why loosen leaves to have 

 them grow fast again; why lose a lot 

 of time hunting up different tools 

 when one specific set of tools will 

 serve every purpose in 100 point 

 fashion ? 



Liberty 

 Cultivators- 



Made in 5, 7 and 9 tooth sizes, 

 adjustable to different widths 

 between rows. Scientifically 

 shaped teeth sink into the soil 

 naturally; sharp cutting edges 

 cut the weeds, besides uproot- 

 ing them. You need the Liberty 

 as the ideal adjustable cultiva- 

 tor for all around gardening. 

 Available as both hand tools 

 and wheel outfit. 



The Gilson Rocker 

 or Scuffle Hoe 



is redeeming all lost motion 

 in cultivating. The double 

 edged blade cuts just as much 

 in travelling back as in ad- 

 vancing. Besides cutting 

 weeds, it pulverizes soih 

 Made with 3i", 5", 6" and 

 8" blade for different soils 

 and rows of different width. 

 Prices $1.05, $1.15, $1.25, 

 $1.35 respectively, with han- 

 dle postpaid. 



The Triplex — 



This combines the Gilson Weeder, the 9 tooth Cultivator and a 

 Plowshare, arranged around a pivot axle. A hand lock nut 

 easily locks or unlocks the axle without tools. Carried on sub- 

 stantial metal frame, it forms a powerful wheelhoe — distinctly a 

 man's hoe. Gilson Triplex Wheel Outfit, Express prepaid, East 

 of Rockies, $8.75. 



Write for instructive booklet giving valuable hints 

 of cultivation. If your dealer does not handle the 

 Gilson line, write us and let us get acquainted.

An Announcement and Invitation 

 to Rose Lovers 



During the first week of July (not June) our roses in the 

 fields will, if the season continues normal, reach their 

 height of bloom and this year we shall have the greatest 

 showing of its kind ever seen in this country. 



The blooms will appear on plants maturing for next Fall's 

 and Spring's sales. (By the way, have you ever tried Fall 

 planting of field-grown roses? Practically all large and 

 experienced amateur planters now prefer the Fall season) . 



Come and enjoy this great treat with us whether you 

 intend to plant or not — it will prove a revelation to you. 



If you request to be specially notified just when the flowers 

 are reaching their maximum of show, we shall take pleasure 

 in complying with such request and at the same time send 

 you detailed directions on how to get to Fair Lawn and 

 the rose field. 



(To see Peonies come about June 10th)
