which comb the turf without being damaged

by stones, tree roots or other obstacles. The

tines are self-cleaning, according to the firm.

Parker Thatch-O-Matic Power Rake Combs Turf

The problem of thatch is solved by the

Thatch-O-Matic power rake, according to Parker

Sweeper Co., Springfield, Ohio. The small tines

of the machine are said to have a powerful

combing action that lifts out great quantities of

dead roots, stems and grass clippings without

changing the appearance or vitality of turf. After

the rake is used turf is freed of harmful debris'

and is ready to receive fertilizers and water.
