Quick Growth for Lawn and Garden 
Your grass, flowers and vegetables’wiil show the same remark- 
able results that these Cleveland people secured. 
Nitro-Fertile is an odorless liquid to be mixed with water — 
two tablespoonsful to the gallon. It soaks in around the roots 
where it is immediately absorbed 
by the plant, thus stimulating a 
quick, healthy growth. 
Nitro-Fertile supplies every ele- 
ment needed for plant growth and 
will give you better foliage, finer 
fruit and larger blooms.

What Cleveland Users Say 
Rudolph F Thurman, Supt., F. 
E. Drury Estate. 
“To Nitro-Fertile 1 give thecredit 
of producing chrysanthemums that 
won first prize in the Cleveland 
Flower Show. Have also given it 
a thorough trial on outdoor plants 
with very marked results.” 
A. C. Kcndel, Seed Merchant 
“After selling Nitro-Fertile for 
three years, we find the results of 
its use to be very evident. We look 
for constantly increased sales in it, 
to our retail trade.” 
Hugh L. Thomas , Gardener to 
Chas. A. Otis 
“One had only to see my vegetables 
and flowers to note the marked dif- 
ference between those treated with 
Nitro-Fertile and those not treated 
with it.”

Which way do you work? 
Do you still sow seed by the old slow, laborious hand-dropping 
method, or use the up-to-date Vianet 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 thoroughly in one-third the time? 
Do you get hut meagre returns for all the time, labor and ma- 
terial >'ou put into your garden; or do you 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, Culti- 
vator 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 shadow. 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.
