Weeds are hungry 
T HEY work hard and fast. It's an endless, tedious 
battle to keep them down with the old hand hoe— but 
this Planet Jr. No. 12 double wheel hoe gives you a safe, 
sure upper hand. Weeds simply haven't a chance to show 
their heads. Until your plants are 20 inches high you can 
hoe both sides of a row at once, edging in and snaking out 
lurking weeds with precision. So light and thorough is this 
handy implement, you can cultivate the whole garden in a 
single evening, make the most of every dry 
day, and keep the garden trim and weed free 
with a minimum of handwork. 
The old gardener knows that you cannot cul¬ 
tivate too often. Planet Jr. wheel hoes have 
made thorough cultivation a source of pride 
and pleasure to careful gar¬ 
deners everywhere. They make 
experts of the amateur and 
last for years. Send for 
catalog.
