DEERE IMPLEMENT COMPANY. 



Deere" Garden Seeder. 



The Deere Garden-Seed Drill is made something like a one-horse corn drill, but re- 

 duced in size to suit garden-seeds, and so it can be operated by hand. 



It has a covering- wheel in rear, a gauge wheel in front, and between them a furrow 

 opener and seed hopper. A spring pitman driven by a cam wheel on the covering 

 wheel shaft gives the seed plate a sharp oscillating motion, which insures a steady, 

 even flow of seed. 



In the seed plate is a series of holes for different kinds and qualities of seed, and 

 changes in feed can be made without emptying the hopper. 



The depth of planting is quickly regulated by raising or lowering the wheel in 

 front, which is done by loosening one bolt. The furrow-opener makes a clean, regular 

 seed bed, and attached to the opener are wing scrapers, which bring the earth back into 

 the furrow, and the wheel following presses it down, leaving it in the best possible con~ 

 dition for quick and sure germination. 



The Deere has adjustable markers, and the flow of seed can be stopped or started 

 at will, or shut off permanently, by the use of the hand tappet under the handle.
