Some 
“A STITCH IN TIME” 
Preventive spraying is the slogan of the 
twentieth century gardener who is keep¬ 
ing abreast of scientific method. A prac¬ 
tical and readily handled device is the 
Hydro-chemical Sprayer which is worked 
by water pressure; attach to your hose 
and let the town or city water power do 
the rest. A small tube enters the side of 
the sprayer nozzle (so constructed as to 
maintain a constant ratio between water 
and chemical), the chemical being drawn 
from the tank by the velocity of the water 
passing through it. (Naylor Mfg. Co.) 
GETTING AT THE UNDER SIDE OF LEAVES 
FOR UP-TO-DATE GARDENING 
A unique new wheel outfit which, 
through a special slip-on connection, 
is easily and quickly convertible into 
any one of six desirable implements. 
The attachments (shown at right) in¬ 
clude a tooth cultivator, plow, rake, 
scuffle hoe, furrow opener, and a tool 
for closing furrows. (J. E. Gilson Co.) 
This many-purpose Standard Spray Pump is so simply and 
strongly constructed that the veriest tyro cannot put it out 
of kilter, and by merely changing nozzles and container 
(bucket, barrel, or knapsack as desired) serves for all sorts of 
garden and tree spraying. (Armstrong Manufacturing Co.) 
KEEPING THE SOIL IN 
CONDITION 
Thorough cultivation is a 
prime essential to success, 
and the Planet Jr. Star Pul¬ 
verizer is particularly useful 
in the flower garden and 
wherever plants are close 
together as the width of the 
cut is only inches. This 
easily handled tool does 
away with the necessity of 
stooping, and not only 
breaks up lumps but simul¬ 
taneously cuts off weeds 
and levels the ground. 
(S. L. Allen & Co.) 
IF PLANTING ON A LARGE SCALE 
Any one working a half-acre or more for full 
crops will find this Set Onion Planter a service¬ 
able substitute for hand labor as it does the 
work of ten men effectively. Equipped with 
a shoe that makes a very narrow row', it drops 
the set and covers; may be used for any kind 
of small bulbs, and can be readily adjusted to 
the planting of large or small sets as well as 
planting sets close or far apart in a row.
