THE GARDEN M A G A Z I N E 
February, 1917 
Which 
work? 
Do you still sow seed by the old slow, laborious hand-dropping 
method, or use the up-to-date Planet Jr Seeders, and cover three 
times the acreage in the same time? 
Do you still cultivate in the old back-breaking, time-eating way, 
or use the perfected Planet Jr hand cultivators and do the work 
more thoroughlv in one-third the time? 
.Do you get but meagre returns for all the time, labor and 
material you put into your garden; or do 'ou get bigger, better 
crops with less effort and greater profit? 
These are questions no crop-grower, large or small, can afford 
to pass unanswered. 
Planet Jr Garden Implements 
No. 4 Planet Jr Combined Hill and Drill Seeder, Wheel Hoe, 
Cultivator and Plow pays for itself in a single season in the family garden 
as well as in larger acreage in time saved, labor lightened, and the increased 
amount of work done. Sows all garden seeds (in drills or hills), plows, opens 
furrows and covers them, hoes and cultivates easily and thoroughly all through 
the season. 
No. 12 Planet Jr Double and Single Wheel-Hoe Combined is the 
greatest hand-cultivating tool in the world. It straddles crops till 20 inches 
high, 'then works between rows with one or two wheels. The plows open 
furrows and cover them. The cultivator teeth work deep or shallow. The 
hoes are wonderful weed-killers. 
Use these tools and make your work count for most. We make 32 styles 
of seed drills and wheel-hoes — various prices.

HOW TO CHOOSE 
FINE TREES, at dt 
’’V 70U who love trees for their own 
| beauty or value them for the charm 
they lend to roadside and lawn, 
must have often wished deeply for a 
more friendly knowledge of how to 
choose and group them best, how to im- 
prove the outlook from your windows 
or make more attractive the approaching 
vistas of home. 
This, then, is to say that at last a book 
has been written which tells just what 
you want to know about trees. It is the 
new catalog of the well-known orna- 
mental trees and shrubs grown at An- 
dorra Nurseries. 
* 
“Suggestions for Effective Planting” 
tells what trees are best adapted by 
nature for each garden and landscape, 
what shrubs and trees most effectively 
group together. 
And all this is so beautifully illustrated 
and conveniently arranged that it is as 
interesting to read as your favorite maga- 
zine. It is not the usual mechanical, 
deadly dull nursery list. To read it is 
like going around your grounds with an 
old experienced gardener and discussing 
in a friendly way what the place needs; 
what evergreens to screen the foundation; 
what will look best along the driveway 
or against the ell of the house. 
This book is free for the asking. We 
have one all ready to address with your 
name. Send your request to Box 1 00.
