Keep your tools in front of

for a tool adds grief to a SEEM
ingly endless job.
Wedding Toward an Edging
Sometimes there is an edging
to bed which makes getting the
job started a little harder. If so,
start little way beyond the edg-
ing and work back toward it. II
weeds are right in the edging
plants. try using the fork with
the tongs bent close together.
To avoid breaking of weeds
try to work them back and forth
or with a circular motion. Always
try to pull the weed toward YOU
as you loosen the soil with a
troWel.
1t is a good idea. also. to have
a strawberry box with soil in il
so that any seedlings that are
pulled out may be quickly re-
planted in that spot or in an
other one which you may prefer
Hope you will find wedding a
not unpleasant chore.

Gardeners. almost without ex-
iception. like to SOW the seed, to
transplant the seedlings and to
care for the plants until they
pick the blossoms, but they sell
dom like the job of wedding. 1t
is generally a slow painstaking
Ichore which must often be re-
Ipeated.
Now that garden labor has
become expensive and hard to
obtain at any price, gardeners
must do their own work.
There is so much satisfaction
from a job well done that we
should flnd some way to take the
drudgery from wedding. Like
dishwashing, with the right
tools and methods. it might be-

Busic Garden Tools Needed
Despite Advanced DESIGNS

'of people are selling special little
low garden lamps to illuminate
the flower beds by night. Trac-
tors with various types Of equip
ment are being turned out in
smaller sizes. One firm is putting
out special iron tonic for plants
suffering. presumably. from tired
blood. Fertilizer spreaders and
leaf sweepers are bursting forth
in soft pastel shades.
But. truth to tell, we garden
ers still need old-faShioned basic
equipment. pretty much I'M
changed through the years, for
our garden tools. We still need
spade. spading fork. iron rake,
hoe, trowel. hand cultivator and
pruning shears. There are any
number of types of sprayers and
busters. and it's up to the gar,
dener to decide which suits him
best. A wheelbarrow or cart is
handy. and a watering can, hose.
and ground-soaker is almost in
dispensable. Although there are
lots of electrical and motor
driven tools available to the gar
dener with the small plot. I
think the two greatest boons are
the power mowers and the cleo
trio hedge shears.
/ Because almost half of the
40 million are women, it is the
habit of power tool manufacture
ers to indicate how easy their
equipment operates by showing
a pretty young girl in shorts
merrily manning the mower or
clipping the hedge. It's a wise
female customer who investi-
gates whether she really can do
the job without asking for help.
There are electric hedge shears
light enough in weight to be
handled by a woman, and there
are some gadgets available for
power mowers which make it
possible to start them with cleo
trio house current.
