VBBIHMHHMHHMM I and truck; Toolo for the Homo Garden, Lit that Mr. Troutman says on this page about the seeder Is true. It not" only makes he work much easier but plants the seed evenly and at uniform depth. Every garden, too, should have a. wheel hoe 'with the various attach ments. This may be combined with the seeders, as Mr. Troutman sug gests," or the two tools may be had separately. It is much easier, and much quicker to. cultivate the gar den by pushing a wheel hoe up and down the rows than it Is by using a . hand hoe or getting down on one's knees tor pull out the weeds. The garden should, where it is possible, be planted in long rows wide enough apart to permit of culti vation with a horse; but there will always be much work, the most par ticular part, that cannot be done by horse power, and it is here that the improved ' gardening tools help so much. -" . . - ; ;r v . -, ' The old hand hoe can scarcely, be discarded, however, although its use can be much lessened, to the great joy of every gardener. A wide hoe, a very narrow one, a good rake and a spading fork are among the hand tools that the gardener will need most. He will also need a dibber for; setting out plants; and it will add greatly to the ease of this opera tion if this tool is made with a long handle instead of the short one usu ally used. It is easier to do the work standing erect than stooping over. -- A- spraying' outfit" of some kind, too, is needed in every garden. In fighting insects and plant diseases it is almost a necessity if the work : is to be economically and effectively done. Most folks buying a sprayer, get: one too small for their work. The little hand sprayers are all right for a window garden or a flower bed; but for the garden which is expected to furnish vegetables for a healthy country family they are only play things. A good-sized bucket sprayer, or better still, a small knapsack sprayer will be much cheaper In the long run; and will soon pay for itself in the potato patch, the vineyard and elsewhere. i You are. going to have a good gar den this year, you know -next week we are going to try to help you by showing you just how to have the best so let's begin right by get ting the proper tools to make garden with -not necessarily an elaborate and expensive outfit, but- some of the many conveniences which will help you to make a better garden with less labor. GET A WHEEL HOE AND SEEDER. How Gardening May be Transformed From Drudgery Into Pleasure. Messrs. Editors: A very useful and inexpensive little tool for the garden is the Planet Junior seeder. With this tool the heavy-hoe work and drudgery of gardening is prac tically eliminated. With the garden thoroughly fertilized, plowed and levelled, the work is practically over : .,- ...

I make a specialty of delivering 400 assorted plants to any South ern Express office for $1.00. I guarantee satisfaction. No plants grown are better, and few as good as those I offer. A. V. PERRY, Young's Island, S. C. and the genuine pleasurable, health giving pastime of seeding and culti vating begins. The work is so easy that it can scarcely be termed work. There is a set indicator attachment for each kind of seed, which is easily and quickly changed and is so sim ple that a novice can operate it. The seeds are planted evenly and cover ed a uniform depth. There is a marker, so that if one row is made straight the others will be straight also.: A garden for an ordinary ; fam ily can be systematically planted in regular rows in a half-hour's time. The seed attachment can then be removed and some of the .various cultivating attachments put on. There are small, harrow teeth for loosen ing up the crust and supplying tne dust mulch, then there is a little turn plow for. making ridges and for sifting the soft loose earth in around the growing plants and covering up the young grass. - This makes your garden look so clean and fresh that you are glad it's yours. There is also a pair of scrapers to clean the walk ways. . - With: a tool like this you cax meander out to the garden and per ambulate up and down the rows till the women say "breakfast is ready" and both your garden and your ap-v petite will be in a receptive mood. r W.
