PETER HENDERSON & CO.— GARDEN IMPLEMENTS. 



. ~, 



HAND CULTIVATORS 



are now considered indispensable for either Florists or Market 

 Gardeners who plant close, say at from nine to twelve inches ; 

 and among the very best tools lately made, we, the past season, 

 in our own practice, used with the most satisfactory results, a 

 Cultivator known as the UNIVERSAL FOUR BLADE HOE, 

 an illustration of which is here given. 



"We have found it most effective, and suitable for general 

 work ; and in our grounds of twenty-five acres in close crop, we believe that the four we have in use 

 save us from $1000 to $1200 per annum in labor, than if we did the work with the ordinary fork or 

 scuffle hoes. Besides this, the cultivation is deeper, and in all respects preferable to any kind of hand 

 hoe. Price, $5.00 each.
