How Gilson Garden Tools 
Help Home Gardeners 
to More of Better Food 
Vegetables, to be of prime quality, must be grown 
quickly. Baked or hard soils will not yield a quality pro- 
duct, nor will a weedy patch. Clean cultivation and soil that 
can breathe, will produce crops that require less cooking and 
prove more palatable than vegetables commonly bought or 
raised under less favorable soil conditions. 
The Gilson line of garden tools takes stock of every 
cultural requirement and soil condition. Built from the 
ground up, and improved as experience taught us, you will 
find our leaders described here the greatest help ever evolved 
to make home-gardening successful. 
The Gilson Weeder Hoe 
and its Manyfold Advantages 
Why the Liberty 
Cultivator Weeder 
Lightens Labor 
The one tool that makes every stroke count. 
The “flexible” rocker blade penetrates the 
soil going and coming. It gets beneath the 
surface without any appreciable efforts, cuts 
off weeds, disturbs just sprouting weed seeds, 
chops and pulverizes and leaves the soil in 
perfect condition. 
No other tool is as safe a tool as The 
Gilson. The side fenders act as a safety 
guard, and prevent too close approach of 
plants. The teeth on back of hoe may be 
utilized as a rake. A six foot handle (easily 
secured at any hardware store) will give the 
Gilson Weeder the proper leverage to make 
it the most powerful tool — even in a child’s 
hand. 
Made in four different sizes, for rows of 
different widths, and soils of different 
character. If your dealer cannot 
supply you, we will send direct, post- 
paid, less handle, at the following 
prices: — 
Men who have made special studies of 
garden tools pronounce the Liberty Cultiva- 
tor Teeth the single greatest forward step 
since the introduction of the wheelhoe - . Their 
shape causes them to sink into the soil on 
their own accord. The V-shaped notch in 
each tooth increases the w r eed destroying 
efficiency one-third. 
Readily adjusted by thumbscrew's to from 
four to ten inches in w’idth. Light, yet strong. 
Comes in five tooth, seven tooth, and nine 
tooth sizes. Prices without handle, post-paid :

The Combination of the Best in Tools: 
The Gilson Triplex 
Putting the Gilson Weeder Hoe, the Liberty Cultivator 
Weeder, and a strong plow-share on one pivot axle gave us 
the Gilson Triplex. Easily changed from one tool to another 
by the simple loosening of a threaded hand screw. Easily 
adjusted to different heights, different widths for The Liberty 
Weeder — in short an ideal allround w'heelhoe for the man 
who abhors wrenches. Price complete, $8.95.
