SUCCESS IN MARKET GARDENING 

 lowering the tooth which ploughs a little furrow 

 for the seed to drop in. The seed may be sown 

 from one-fourth of an inch to three inches deep, 

 and is covered by two little blocks, so arranged as to 

 draw the dirt over upon the seed. This is followed 

 by a roller, which is regulated by a spring so as to 

 roll heavily or lightly as may be desirable. 



The Arlington seed drill is altogether the best 

 pattern of seeder ever seen by me. It is very 

 generally used by market gardeners in the 

 vicinity of Boston, and every one who has it in 

 use approves it highly. It has a large wheel, 

 some twenty-eight inches in diameter, with a 

 broad rim, two and one-half inches, which pre- 

 vents its sinking into the mellow earth, and runs 

 so easily that it can be used all day without 

 fatigue to the operator. It sows fine seeds with 

 perfect regularity, as well as the larger seeds. 



The Little Gem drill is small but efficient. 

 It was devised in response to a general desire 

 among small gardeners for an inexpensive drill 

 which will do perfect work; and it satisfies this 

 demand completely. 



Still other seed-sowers are, the Matthews's, the 

 Monitor, the Planet, Jr., and the Iron Age.
