THE above machine is the invention of T. B. Rogkes, of 

 Wethersfield, Conn. — a place noted as a great seedgrowing 

 town, and where large numbers of root crops are cuUivated. It 

 is there extensively used. 



It was Awarded the Highest Premium at the Connecti- 

 cut State and Hartford County Fair& 



COMMENTS OF THE PEESS. 

 Just the implement which fanners and market gardeners 

 have long needed. Every kind and size of seed is sown. Even 

 parnnip seeds, which have bajffed every machine hitherto ineA, 

 are scattered by Mr. Rogers' implement, with jtcst as much pre^ 

 oinion and evenness as any oUoer seed. — Uaniestea-d. 



The labor in workmg is just about equal to trundling an empty 

 wheelbarrow. — Ohria^ian Secretary. 



It is equally well adapted to large or small seed, of regular or 

 irregular form. It sows beans with perfect regularity, and can 

 be changed in an inxtani for the sowing of cabbage, mustard, or 

 liny other seed. Nothing comes amiss to this implement. It 

 makes the drill in the soil, deposits the seed, covers them, and 

 rolls the surface, all, as it goes along. It is prefect; and ali, 

 juDGKs, present at the trial, agbeb upon this point. — Harford 

 Times. 



Its great advantages are, that it lays the seed with perfect 

 regularity, «.»<:er crowding mty, m>r leaving blank «««<■€«, and 

 that no feed can by any means fall from it wheiiUis not in 

 motion. — Jlartford Courant. 



It sows as fast as a man can viSL\k.—7Tomestead Agricultural 

 paper. 



It does better work, and faster, than seed drills that sell at 

 double its price. 



For particulars, send for a circular. Dealers supplied 'at the 

 usual discount. Their orders should be forwarded immediately, 

 as the supply may be short this season. No implement dealer 

 should allow any time to pass, without ordering from 12 to 500 

 according to the largeness of his market. Prick $8.
