 Handy Cultivator and 



Weeder 



Works with Ease — Saves the Knees 

 An entirely distinct tool 5K in- 

 wide with a special handle 4V3 ft. 

 long; entire weight 2 lbs-

THE "PULL-EASY" 

 CULTIVATOR 



This new garden tool is ideal for 

 cultivating, stirring and pulverizing 

 the soil between rowed crops; the 

 teeth of cold pressed steel are un- 

 breakable and are shaped and pitched 

 just right to penetrate the ground 

 without down pressure and puUeasil/. 

 The frame is hinged in the middle so 

 It can be adjusted — opened or closed, 

 adapting the tool to different widths 

 of rows between 7 to 18 inches, or the 

 center tooth may be removed, allow- 

 ing the cultiva+jr to "straddle" the 

 row, i.e., work both sides of one row. 

 The handle of tough smooth white ash 

 IS 4 K feet long, so that stooping is not 

 necessary. Winged thumb nuts on 

 the bolts facilitates the adjustments. 

 Cultivating the garden with the "Pull- 

 Easy" is a pleasure. Price, 9-tooth, 

 $1.35; 5-tooth, $1.00.
