 long the pride of the South, may now 

 adorn any Northern landscape. 



We have five varieties of hardy trees 

 best suited for Northern planting.

 "winter-kill." Successful in almostany 

 soil. Reach maturity in 5 to 7 years.

J. H. Hale, the "Peach King" writes: "The Double Action 'Cutaway' is a splendid tool. I use 

 it in polishing off my peach orchards several times a year. A good pair of horses handle it all right." 



The genuine "Cutaway" tools are used and endorsed by successful orchardists from coast to coast and 

 bay to gulf. 



In orchard work the driver can cultivate under the trees and below the low limbs, the horses not interfering 

 with the branches. The double levers give the driver full control of tool at all times. For regular farm work 

 the gangs can be drawn together.

Every orchardist and fruit grower should have one or more of these labor savers and fruit makers, 

 will positively pay for themselves in one season. To investigate is to be convinced. 



Thorough cultivation makes large crops. _ Stirring the soil lets in the air, sunshine and new life, and kills 

 foul vegetation. The "Cutaway" disk slices, stirs, lifts, twists and aerates the soil. Clark's "Cutaway" 

 Tools run lighter and do better work than any other machine. Lasts a lifetime.
