You need this Trio of 



Hills' Handy Garden Tools 



"Every one who cultivates a garden 

 helps greatly in the feeding of the 

 nations," says the President. But 

 do cultivate the soil. Don't let weeds 

 and drouth rob you of a large share 

 of your garden crops. 



Weeds are a Waste — 



cultivate the weeding habit 



It's a joy to weed when proper 

 tools are handy. Those shown 

 alongside have been American 

 gardener's handy helpers for 

 many years. Nearly every gar- 

 dener has one or the other, but 

 we want to see all three in 

 every Garden Magazine read- 

 er's garden.

HOUSES 



Hodgson houses are built at the Hodgson factory— in neatly finished, 

 fitted and painted sections. 



Select the bungalow, cottage, garage, playhouse or poultry house you 

 want from the variety of photographs, plans and prices in the Hodgson 

 Catalog. Then by paying 25% of the cost of your house we prepare 

 and hold it until wanted. Your house is shipped to you in sections 

 and it is but a day's work for unskilled workmen to put it together. 



Send for the catalog.
