Thousands of garden raisers throughout the world have told us how 
easy it is to tend garden with the BARKER, Other manufacturers have 
tried to imitate its fine points.. Not a single purchaser has ever returned 
& BARKER, complaining that he was not satisfied with its work, 
Now, we have perfected improvements that make the BARKER even 
a finer and easier operating machine than ever before. New, patented 
FILLER DRUM construction makes the NEW BARKER mueh easier to 
run... an even more effective weed killer! The purpose of the FILLER 
DRUM construction is to cause the BARKER to keep on the surface of 
any kind of soil—sand, muck, or mellow earth; and prevents it from 
digging in or stalling. All soils are mulched at same depth; keeps clods, 
stones, sticks and trash out of the reel—makes a wonderful difference in 
its work. For deeper mulch adjust the underground knife. 
For nearly 80 years the BARKER has been the favorite hand garden 
tool with garden growers everywhere! It is a tested and time proven 
success. ‘There are thousands of enthusiastic. satisfied users in every 
state as wel as more than thirty foreign countries. The BARKER is the 
one machine which completely fills the big need of every garden grower 
... the need of a quick, EASY and thorough way to weed and mulch. 
THREE MACHINES IN ONE 
The BARKER is really three machines in one 
. @ weeder, a mulcher. and a cultivator! The 
reel blades, set in revolving reel heads, rotate 
against a stationary knife. This knife, which is 
placed immediately behind the revolving blades, 
travels just below the surface of the ground, and 
cuts the weeds at their roots. 
Working in combination with the stationary. 
knife, the moving blades destroy the weeds, pul- 
verize the clods, allow the air to filter through the 
fine soil, and form a perfect soil mulch. Between 
the blades and the knife is a narrow space which 
causes the surface crust to be granulated and 
filter down to a level, moisture-retaining soil mulch.
