Good Crops are Backed 
by Reasons! 
There is no such thing as "luck” 
in the garden. Garden "luck" gen¬ 
erally represents a combination of 
good seeds and plants, correct plant¬ 
ing and, last not least, diligent cul¬ 
tivation. If one gardener has more 
luck than another, it is because of 
greater experience. Experienced 
gardeners find 
Gilson Garden Tools— 
THE Reason back of many 
fine crops 
For one thing, they do the work 
thoroughly. They leave no weeds 
to “carry on" until another crop ma¬ 
tures. They do the best work in the 
easiest fashion and in record time. 
The particular tool shown here is 
The Kil-Weed Kultivator 
Attached to the new Gilson 
Wheelframe, this specially designed, 
adjustable tooth-cultivator becomes 
a veritable engine of destruction for 
weeds of all kinds. Awylable in 3 
sizes, ( 5 , 7 , and 9 teeth), as both 
hand and wheel outfits. Ask your 
dealer or write us for 
Free Booklet on Cultivation 
Learn about the different meth¬ 
ods of cultivation to be employed 
with different crops and the differ¬ 
ent tools with which to tackle the 
job most successfully. Gladly mailed

The Appeal of 
Growing Things 
It’s a normal trait in human nature to love 
to “grow things”—to develop rich, luxuriant 
foliage, gorgeous blossoms, and flawless fruit 
and vegetables. 
Too many a painstaking gardener finds his 
efforts wasted through lack of an early pre¬ 
caution. Bugs, worms, blotch and scale rob 
him of his reward because spraying w s over¬ 
looked. 
Yet spraying is simpler and cheaper than 
you probably imagine— the right sprayer and 
a few cents worth of spraying materials ac¬ 
complish wonders if done in time. 
Write for our latest catalogue and prices and 
you can easily determine the most efficient and 
economical spray outfit for your particular 
needs. Sent free on request.
