PERFECTION 



GARDEN 



CUTIVATOR 



Perfection at last. This New Disc 

 and Knife Weeder and Mulcher is 

 the final evolution in hand Cultiva- 

 tors. It excels and supercedes all. 

 In it is found the best characteris- 

 tics of others simplified to the ac- 

 commodation of the professional 

 trucker or home gardener. A child 

 can work it. It has no attachments 

 and no encumbrances, is complete 

 in itself. It does the weed killing, 

 cultivating and mulching at one 

 process. This is something that no 

 other cultivator accomplishes. It is 

 a perfect hand cultivator. 



The Discs can be adjusted to an angle, throw- 

 . ing the soil to or from the plants 



No attachments are necessary to 

 make it do the work needed. By a 

 simple changing of the bolts it au- 

 tomatically adjusts to suit the oc- 

 casion. It can be worked in gravel 

 soil, through sticks and coarse 

 straw or stubble of any kind. In 

 stony land it works as well as in 

 the softest loam. 



For thirty years a satisfactory hand cultivator has been sought for; improvements, com- 

 binations and auxiliaries have been added to the older makes without resulting in complete 

 satisfaction. In this new weeder, however, the defects have been overcome and satisfactory 

 work is the result. 



PERFECTION GARDEN CULTIVATOR is made in three sizes, viz.: No. 1 — 6 inches 

 wide. No. 2 — Sy 2 inches wide. No. 3 — 11 inches wide. The No. 2 is the popular tool for 

 gardens.
