"It sutenly 

 do make 

 fine lawns. " 



don't sod, don't scatter grass 

 by hand. The only sure way is to 

 use the Velvetlawn Seeder. It puts 

 the seed in the ground — 

 >t on top. None is 

 blown away or eaten by 

 birds. The grass comes 

 up uniformly and pro- 

 fusely in the shortest 

 time. Enough seed 

 saved to pay for the 

 ?der. A more beautiful lawn than 

 sodding at one-tenth the cost. No 

 matter how small your place, you 

 can afford to have this seeder. 

 Write for letters from users, 

 prices. Illustrations, etc.

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. They 

 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.
