WILLIS'S LATEST IMPROVED SEED SOWER, 



Willis'slatest Improved Seed .Sower, invented iho last sea- 

 son 5 one of the most perfect machines ever introduced for 

 the purpose. In using ihis machine, the farmer mav be cer- 

 tain that his seea is put inlo the ground, and at the same 

 lime in the best possible manner. There has bean a great 

 diHiculty in machines lor sowing garden seeds; ihev are 

 very apt to clog up, and the farmer might go over an acre of 

 land and not sow a single seed ; but not so with this ; it is so 

 constructed that it cannot possibly clog. In using this sow- 

 er, the farmer can save one half of his seed, and do the work 

 atlfsslhan one quarter the expense of the common way of 

 sowing seeds, and have it done in a much better manner ■ 

 It opens the furrow, drops the seed, and covers it over and 

 rolls them down. It will sow almost any kind of Garden 

 Seeds ; say Rula Baga, Mangel Wurlzcl, Turnius, Carrots, 

 Beets, Parsnips, Onions, li i., highly recommended by 

 a great number of persons who used it the past season
