"VELVETLAWN" 



Grass Seeders and Fertilizer Sowers 



These Two Machines Make 



Beautiful Velvety Lawns 



The " Velvetlawn " Grass Seeder puts the. 

 seed in the ground — NOT ON TOP. It 

 saves seed. The wind or rain cannot carry 

 the seed away, because it is all put in the 

 ground where germination and growth takes 

 place quickly, the cutting action of the discs 

 opens narrow furrows in the sod, and the force feeds carry an equal amount 

 of seed into every furrow. The discs do not tear the sod, but relieve it 

 of its root-bound condition and let the AIR IN. 



SAVE THE COST OF SOD 



It is foolish to sod, because a BETTER LAWN can be had by drill- f 

 ing pure-bred Grass Seed at one-tenth the expense. " Velvetlawn " 

 Seeders have proven their worth by the work they have done — by 

 the beautiful lawns they have made. 



"VELVETLAWN" FERTILIZER SOWERS 



will sow any brand of Dry Pulverized Fertilizer in any quantity 

 desired and scatter it evenly over the ground. It does not waste the 

 Fertilizer because the cultivator teeth work the material in the soil. 

 This is the only hand-power Sower in the world that will do the 

 work accurately and evenly. Price complete, $6, f.o.b., Springfield, O. 



INDISPENSABLE TO GARDENERS 



Just the machine to sow fertilizers between the rows of growing 

 vegetables, strawberry plants, etc. These machines are 

 absolutely and unreservedly warranted to do ALL we claim 

 for them. Satisfaction or your money back. No fuss about 

 it either. Send for Booklets.
