THE GARDEN MAGAZINE

Full Market Basket 



Is only a part of the harvest when you garden with mod- 

 em tools. There's the healthy out-door exercise, the joy 

 of seeing things grow, the satisfaction of eating the vege- 

 tables of your own raising and best of all, a garden that's 

 good to look at, free from weeds — planted and cultivated 

 with 



IRONASE 



Garden Drills and Wheel Hoes 



There's a certain fascination in using a hoe on wheels — ■ 

 even the boys like to do it. So much better than hand 

 weeding and using old style tools with backache in every 

 inch of them. 



The drills start the garden right — straight 

 rows and no replanting necessary. You can sow 

 in drills or hills 4 to 24 inches apart. With a 

 wheel hoe you can hoe, cultivate, ridge, weed, 

 level, fine the soil, open or cover furrows, etc. 

 The working tools are made of best quality 

 material, easily attached and adjustable. 



There are 38 combinations of garden tools. With a 

 Combined Drill and Wheel Hoe, you can change from 

 Drill to Wheel Hoe or back again in three minutes. 

 Another minute, you can have a single or double wheel 

 hoe. 



See these tools at your dealer's and write us for com- 

 plete booklet, "Gardening With Modern Tools" and 

 copy of "Iron Age Farm and Garden News."

HicKsWhite Spruce 



A Superior 

 Evergreen 



to Plant this Spring 



THE White Spruce that for a few years was not 

 appreciated is now being extensively used. We 

 have been growing an extensive stock and now are 

 ready with a particularly choice lot, especially like 

 sizes shown in the illustration. They range from 1 \ 

 to 4 5- feet high. Root-pruned, every one of them, with 

 splendid healthy root masses. You will not only get a 

 good ball of earth with them but one thick with roots. 

 As a small tree, White Spruce with their cheerful, 

 blue green foliage, are always ornamental. They are 

 compact — and do not open up or become ragged. 

 They do not — -"winter kill", and last, but not least, 

 trees this size are not expensive. You can plant them 

 as hedges or future wind breaks. Large trees that save 

 from 10 to 15 years' waiting, we have in goodly num- 

 ber — both evergreens and regular shade trees, which 

 spread up to 15 feet. As seashore trees, they can not 

 be equalled — in fact — they enjoy the salt spray. 

 Large trees that give immediate results, we are par- 

 ticularly strong on — they are our specialty. They can 

 be safely shipped 1 000 miles. We are offering what is 

 not generally offered. The chance to plant Pines, 

 Oaks, and many other trees at $50.00 per 1000. 

 Trees that fit the soil and climate and take care of 

 themselves. Hardy Plants and Shrubs we have in 

 goodly assortment. Send for catalog and Special 

 Flowering Shrub and Hardy Flower Booklets. 

 Whatever your Spring Planting problems are, don't 

 neglect to take advantage of Hicks catalog and service.
