The Bolens power 
hoe has a special 
arc at a height of 
14-20 inches mak¬ 
ing it possible to 
cultivate a row 
without damaging 
the plants; also 
special snap hitches 
which render it in¬ 
stantly available 
as a lawn mower.

A Great Modern Combination! 
BOLENS 
Power machinery has largely solved the labor problem on the farms. It is about to solve the 
labor problem of suburban and country estates. To apply the tractor principle to a tool light enough 
to be handled by a sturdy boy, yet powerful enough to do the work better than several men, such we 
succeeded in doing when we evolved the Bolens Power Hoe and Lawn-mower Tractor. 
Whether You Live in Town or Country You Can Make Splendid Use of the 
Power Hoe 
and Lawn Motor Tractor 
We are indebted to the editorial department of the Garden 
Magazine for permitting us to use the illustrations presented in 
last month’s editorial columns. They show at a glance the possibil¬ 
ities of the Bolens. Really a light tractor, equally useful as a 
motive power for cultivator, seeder or lawn-mower, the Bolens is 
so easy to operate that husky boys and even girls can handle it 
with ease. 
The Bolens transforms drudging into a pleasant occupation. Both 
tool and tractor are under perfect control. The various implements on 
the cultivator are easily and quickly attached, while the special snap 
hitches enable the operator to change instantly from lawn-mowing 
machinery to seeding or cultivating implements. 
You and the Bolens can do in one hour as much as is usually done in 
four hours by the man with a wheel hoe or in eight to ten hours of labor 
with hand implements. The time you save is yours for garden enjoyment. 
The Bolens will make your gardening dreams come true. 
The Bolens Power Hoe will be on exhibition at Grand Central Palace 
during the International Flower Show to be held between March 7th 
and 12th.
