The double row marker as shown in cut number 14, is 

 used to mark off the rows where seed or plants are to be 

 planted. One side of this marker marks rows one width, and

the other side another width. For instance, if you are plant- 

 ing lettuce, and wish the rows eighteen inches apart, and 

 the plants set twelve inches apart in the row, make the 

 marker with the teeth on one side of it eighteen inches and 

 on the other twelve inches apart. Stretch a line tightly, the 

 length you wish the rows, the outside tooth of the marker 

 is set against it, and the marker drawn to the end of the row, 

 the other rows are marked from these. The distance in the 

 row is made by marking diagonally across these rows al- 

 ready made, using the twelve-inch side of the marker.
