The Wheel Hoe is just the tool to keep your poultry 

 yard stirred — the chicks are healthier in fresh 

 ground. 



The tool shown below opens its own furrow, sows 

 accurately in hills or in continuous rows, covers 

 the seed, packs the soil, and marks the next row, 

 all in one operation. As a Wheel Hoe it cultiv- 

 ates, hoes, weeds, levels, ridges growing crops, 

 opens furrows and covers them, etc. 



Parts are changed quickly. High steel wheels, 

 steel tube frame, clean scouring hoes are strong 

 features. All necessary adjustments for close 



work.

LAWNS 



There are ever so many 

 different classes of lawns — ■ 

 but the kind you need to 

 properly set off your home is one having that 

 rich, emerald-green, velvety appearance which 

 so many lawns of parks and larger estates have. 



Ja

will grow just such lawns. They are the result of years of 

 constant study and practical application to the average 

 conditions existing in this country, being composed of 

 the very best seeds in scientific mixtures.

THINK of the joy of having fine 

 big Rhododendrons like these 

 around your house just like our ' n_ 

 grandmothers used to have lilacs. f* 



Think of having the shady spots at 

 the border of your woods possessed 

 by pink, white, and delicate lavender 

 bloom clusters in May and June. 



Then there's that corner problem 

 that you have been puzzled so about 

 — plant some of the lower growing 

 kind in it with a few of the taller ones 

 in the back and the result will be 

 highly satisfactory. 



Don't hesitate to buy Rhododen- 

 drons fearing they are difficult to 

 make grow, or too expensive. 



Hicks are neither. You will be 

 surprised at the reasonableness of our 

 prices and relieved to know how 

 simple is the care necessary to insure 

 their being happy and healthy. 



Come and pick them out. If you 

 can't come, order by phone or from 

 our catalog.
