YOUR GARDEN 
Will never be a disappointment if you plant 
and work it with tools like these—the op¬ 
erator walks upright,the seeder sows accurately 
in drills or hills and with the cultivator points, 
side hoes and plows you can do more in one 
hour than in a whole day the old way. Re¬ 
sult, a much better garden and more pleasure 
in it.
