The Old-Fashioned Way 



Which Way Will You Start 

 the Garden? 



The start determines the 



finish. 



Don't start your garden 

 in a half-hearted, timid way. 

 Run it as the business-man 

 runs his business. Play it 

 as the expert golfer plays 

 his golf. 



The man who becomes dis- 

 couraged and neglects his garden 

 started wrong — started with old- 

 fashioned, cumbersome, back- 

 breaking tools. The man who 

 succeeds, who has crops to be 

 proud of, is the one who does it 

 the easy, modern way. This 

 man — the successful gardener — ■ 

 knows the invigorating joy of a 

 little time spent morning or 

 evening in his garden with a 

 wheel hoe. Just enough exercise, fresh air and sun- 

 shine to put a man in top-notch condition! 



JRONME 



GARDEN TOOLS 



stand for bigger, better gardens — profitable gardens. Ex- 

 pert market gardeners use them by the thousands and 

 amateur gardeners quickly become experts by means of 

 them. Iron Age Wheel Hoes are great favorites with the 

 women and children — they work so easily.

Helps to Bigger, 

 Better Crops! 



Send for it. Let it show 

 you how to make effective 

 every effort you make in the 

 garden. Pick out an Iron 

 Age model that suits you best 

 from among the many shown. 

 Attachments are standard- 

 ized so you can buy them 

 one at a time, occasionally 

 adding others as your greater 

 garden ambitions require 

 them. Write for the book- 

 let to-day.
