Paragraphs 1 through 3:
However successful your garden your garden may have been in the
past this is the year of all years when bigger crops are expected of
every farmer and gardener.
Our food pledge to hungry Europe must be fulfilled; and you will want
to do all you can to help.
Increased production depends on thorough cultivation, and this can
best be secured by the use of Planet Jr. garden tools. Their scientific
construction, with various specialized attachments enables you to
cultivate with the thoroughness that secures to the soil proper aeration
and ability to hold moisture, both of which are necessary to increased
vitality of the plants. Strong, healthy, vitalized plants produce bigger
and better crops, and Planet Junior tools get these results quickly and
with less labor because of their light draught and ease of operation.
Use them, increase the joy and profit of gardening, and add to the
nation's food supply.

Planet Junior Garden Tools descriptions:
No. 4 Planet Jr. Combined Hill and Drill Seeder, Wheel Hoe,
Cultivator and Plow is a special favorite, and there are more of them
in use throughout the world than any other seeder made. Opens the
furrow, sows the garden seeds (in hills or drills), covers, rolls down and
marks the next row all at one operation. Hoes, plows and cultivates all
through the season. A hand-machine that will pay for itself in time,
labor and seed saved in a single season.
No. 12 Planet Jr. Double and Single Wheel Hoe has hoes that are
wonderful weed killers. The Plows open furrows, cover them and hill
growing crops. The Cultivator Teeth work deep or shallow. The Leaf
Lifters save much time in late work when plants are large or leaves too
low for ordinary work. Crops are straddled till 20 inches high, then the
tool works between the rows with one or two wheels.
