should be in the hands of every garden lover who is in- 

 terested in well-grown nursery stock. Contains a fund of 

 information on the 



unusual plants that will 

 give your garden individuality 



Take magnolias, for instance. Few nurseries offer the 

 wonderful new Magnolia Soulangeana nigra — the wide opening 

 petals of which are a rare, pleasing garnet matched by no other 

 magnolia. Nowhere else can you get such large specimen plants 

 of the unusual pure- white Magnolia conspicua — plants 12 to 14 

 feet high at $10.00 each. Nowhere else can you find such bush 

 magnolias for your shrubbery border; or such fine specimens of 

 the fragrant Sweet Bay (Magnolia glauca). 



Throughout the book, back to the rear cover description of the 

 larger, finer Meehan-grown Japanese Maples, you will find numer- 

 ous inexpensive suggestions for beautifying your home grounds.

These Harrows Are For 



Intensive Tillage 



Remember, the CUTAWAY disk is the original "cutaway"; 

 the CUTAWAY double action harrow, the original 

 double action; the CUTAWAY reversible harrow, the original 

 reversible; the CUTAWAY extension head harrow, the original 

 extension head. CUTAWAY double action harrows have all 

 four of their gangs compactly hung on one rigid 

 main frame, which is the secret of successful double 

 action harrows. That is one reason why CUTAWAY 

 double action harrows grind and pulverize the 



soil finer

than other harrows. CUTAWAY double actions are all 



equipped with the detachable jointed tongue, which can be 



removed or replaced in one minute, making the harrow 



into either a tongue or tongueless machine as desired. 



Both the single action and the double action are 



made with extension heads for orchard work, and 



can be closed for regular field work. They are 



equipped with the famous CLARK cutlery steel 



disks forged sharp. Ask your dealer to show you 



CUTAWAY implements. If he can't, write us. Ask for 



new 48- page book, "The Soil and Intensive Tillage."
