VELVETLAWN" 

 SEEDER 



Deposits the Seed 



In the Ground 

 Not on Top 



Sow grass seed when conditions 

 are right — wind or no wind. The 

 rain cannot wash the seed away, 

 the wind cannot blow it to some 

 other place. Birds do not get it, 

 because it is in the ground. 

 All old sod is root-bound, and the cutting action of the discs relieves this condition, 

 cultivates the grass roots and puts new seed in the soil and properly covers it. You 

 can sow as much or little seed as desired. This machine has positive force feeds, 

 and each feed puts in every seed trench an absolutely equal amount of seed. No 

 seed is wasted. 



Smooth, Velvety Lawns, Golf Greens 



and Grass Plots are produced with "Velvetlawn" Seeders at a trifling cost 



If you Want a pure, smooth, velvety lawn, sow pure-bred lawn seed in the 

 ground with a "Velvetlawn" Seeder. If you want a miscellaneous collection 

 of weeds, sod your lawn, 



"Velvetlawn" Seeders sow ground sheep manure, bone meal, ground lime and 

 screened wood ashes. Only machine in the world that will put them in the ground 

 on a lawn. 



It is also an ideal machine for sowing garden seeds, such as onion, radish, carrots, 

 lettuce, etc. Can be regulated to drill 2, 4, 6, 8, and so on, up to 1 6 inches between rows. 

 It assures an even distribution of seed, uniformity of depth and regularity between rows.
