The Great Waste! 



Weeds are a waste — any way you judge them. They 

 eat up the soil's fertility, rob it of moisture. They crowd 

 the cultivated crops, stunt their growth, often causing 

 the total loss of the crop. They retard maturing of 

 the cultivated crops, besides lowering the quality. 

 Weeds are the arch enemy of the garden that should be 

 fought to a finish. You'll score a sure success in this 

 fight if you press into service » 



The Remedy:

Tools 



For 82 years the choice of gardeners 

 who value a complete tool that does 

 thorough work. For ease of opera- 

 tion and simplicity of construction, 

 Iron Age Wheel Hoes and Seeders 

 are matchless. Built to last. 



Do All This: 



They cut off and destroy weeds between the 

 rows and on both sides of rows. They pul- 

 verize the soil with disc, rake, or cultivator 

 teeth attachments, preventing the escape of 

 moisture. 



They open furrows and close them, hill the 

 crops and boost them. 



Special seeding attachments will drop seeds 

 in drills or hills. 



All the work necessary to accomplish any 

 of the changes of attachments takes but 

 very few minutes.
