AUTOMOTIVE CULTIVATORS 



for trie Modern Garden 



THE immediate appreciation of the gasoline-driven tractor in agriculture nat- 

 urally gave birth to the thought of applying the same principle to the more 

 intimate areas of the garden. This idea has borne fruit in a score of developments 

 of which some typical illustrations are given herewith. 



The self-propelled tool develops a power far in excess of any hand-operated 

 appliance; and though, of course, its economical use has direct relation to the 

 size of the plot, there is also the, perhaps, even greater factor of convenience. 

 Most garden owners to-day know something of the internal combustion engine 

 and the application of this knowledge to the tillage of the soil does not introduce 

 a new complication into the problems of the home gardener but, on the contrary, 

 may effectively simplify them. 



The automotive cultivator is as easily operated as your automobile and soon 

 justifies its initial cost by doing the job more quickly and thoroughly than is 

 possible by hand, with the rather conclusive advantage of being always de- 

 pendably "on tap," as it were, a merit not despised by those who have suffered 

 from the elusive instability frequently characterizing "the hired man." 



The Do-It-All is a machine with a wide range of opera- 

 ting opportunities and is particularly fitted for the 

 large estate where there is a great variety of work 

 to be done. It will plow, disk, harrow, cultivate, and 

 even run washing machines etc. ; its weight is half a ton 



The Macultivator is noteworthy 

 for compactness of construction ; it 

 has a clearance of 9 inches, being 

 17 inches over-all in width. It is 

 not intended as a plow, but wi 

 cover more ground in less time with 

 smaller expenditure of motive 

 power than most similar tools

The New Britain is a 

 many-purpose tool, 

 economical in op- 

 eration; besides cul- 

 tivating it operates 

 practical multiple 

 row seeders, weeders, 

 etc. 



The Acme-Jr is one of the most powerful 

 of the smaller machines and as nearly 

 devoid of vibration as any light weight 

 engine can be. Traction on any soil; 

 will turn 4 in. sod as easily as a rake will 

 break a J in. crust 



The Beeman blazed the trail and 



has stood the test of time — a rare 



combination of qualities!
