Page Garden Fence-FREE! 



Protect your garden, orchard, poultry yard! Page Woven Wire Garden Fence balks 

 every intruder! Nothing gets through Page fence — its strands are graduated in distance 

 apart from the ground up. Hence your garden is better guarded than if you had a 

 man on watch day and night. 



"Page fence or equal" are government specifications when United States buys fence 

 in which utmost durability is demanded. Our free sample shows the wonderful Page 

 Knot — the knot that is the continued wire itself, woven so it can't come off. 



WHY PAGE FENCE IS IDEAL 

 GARDEN FENCE 



Page Fence is High Carbon, Basic Open Hearth Steel Wire. It is the height of 

 perfection in elasticity, tensile strength and durability — its use as Government standard 

 proves that. It is the economical fence, for it actually saves SO or more posts every 

 100 rods — also saves staples, labor and time in setting because its stiff, coiled spring, 

 horizontal wires furnish their own support for longer stretches than any other fence 

 in the world. 



Its elasticity prevents breaking, and with its even tension allows perfect adjustment 

 over hilly land. Houses have fallen on Page fence, pinning it to the ground, but the 

 instant the weight was removed it sprang back into position as perfect as ever! Think 

 what that means in your especial case.

Planet Jr. Tools 



get largest crops with least work 



What's the use of drudging to get ordinary results when a Planet Jr 

 Seeder or Cultivator does six men's work and gives you an increased 

 yield besides? Planet Jrs are patents of a man skilled both in 

 farming and manufacturing for over 35 years. They are light, 

 strong, lasting, and fully guaranteed. 



No. 4 Planet Jr Combined Seeder and Wheel-Hoe 



saves time, labor, seed and money. Almost all useful garden implements 

 in one. Adjustable in a minute to sow all garden seeds, hoe, cultivate, 

 weed, or plow. Pays for itself quickly, even in small gardens. 



No. 8 Planet Jr Horse-Hoe and Cultivator 



will do more things in more ways than any other horse-hoe made. 

 Plows to or from the row. A splendid furrower, coverer, hiller, 

 and horse-hoe, and unequalled as a cultivator. 



The 1910 Planet Jr catalogue is free. It illustrates and 

 describes 55 different implements for the farm and 

 garden. Write for it today.
