MATTHEWS' HAND CULTIVATOR. 



One of the best implements in use for weeding between row crops, and flat cultivation 

 generally. It spreads from C to 14 inches, and will cut all the ground covered even, when 

 spread to its widest extent. The depth of cultivating is gauged by raising or lowering the 

 wheel. Price, $6.50 each. 



MATTHEWS' GARDEN SEED DRILL. 



Is one of the most perfect machines of its kind. It opens the furrow, drops the seed accurately, covers it and lightly rolls 

 it. and at the same time marks the n»xt row, all of which is done with mechanical precision, by simply propelling the drill for- 

 ward. In this way it sows with an evenness and rapidity impossible for the most skillful hand 

 to do, all the different varieties of Beet, Carrot, Onion, Turnip, Parsnip, Sage, Spinach, Sorghum, 

 Pea's, Beans, Broom Corn, Fodder Corn, etc. 



The agitator stirs the seeds in the hopper thoroughly by a positive motion, which insures 

 c 'Utinuous and uniform delivery, and the bottom of the hopp r is made sufficiently dishing to 

 s iw the smallest quantity of seed. Asimple contrivance accu aMy gaujes the uniform deposit of 

 fie tetd to any required depth, thus avoiding the ris'< of planting at irregular depths, or so deep in 

 places as to destroy the seed. The markers are made adjustable for the purpose of marking the 

 rows at any desired distance apart, and they mark them distinctly, whether the ground is even 

 or uneven. 



Another great advantage which it possesses over any other machine is t' at it is t'ie only drill 

 which hat an indicator with the nxmes of the different tee b thereon. Simply turn it until the name 



of the seed to be planted comes up to the indicator-pin, which revolves the dial, attached to the bottom of the hopper, until the 

 ri^ht-sized hole in it for planting that seed comes directly into place. This ingenious invention is a great improvement over any- 

 other method in use, and is much more convenient and reliable. Price, $13.00, boxed.

THE PLANET JR. DOUBLE WHEEL HOE, WHEEL 



CULTIVATOR AND DOUBLE PLOW. 



Will do the work of five to ten men with hand hoes, among market garden and 

 root crops, small nursery stock, So., and is especially adapted to onion culture. 

 With this hoe the operator tends very readily both sides of a row at once much more 

 easily and closely than he can tend one side of each of two rows. This is an invaluable 

 feature especially in crops sowed on ridges. The wheels can be set four, seven or 

 ten inches apart. It has a pair of hoes, a pair of plows, and two pairs of cultivator 

 teeth, making it capable of every variety of work. It cuts from six to sixteen inches 

 wide, throwing to or from the row as desired. Price, $10.00. 



THE PLANET JR. SINGLE WHEEL HOE, PLOW AND CULTIVATOR COMBINED. 



It combines in one tool the qualities of the Double Wheel Hoe and tr e Fire 

 fly Plow, making the work of garden and root crops quite easy, and will be pre- 

 ferred by many to the Double Wheel Hoe and Firefly separate. It has a pair of 

 exchangeable hoes, to be used while the plants are small, to throw either to or 

 from the row, a set of reversible cultivator teeth, and a garden plow. The wheel 

 is adjustable in height to suit any operator. Price, $7.00. 



THE PLANET JR. No. 2 DRILL, No Hoeing Attachment.) 



Sows with ease and accuracy at any exact depth or thickness, all garden, 

 field and nursery seeds possible to be sown with a drill, and quickly repays its 

 cost in saving of seed, time, labor, and in better crops to all, who grow vegeta- 

 Dles lor nome or market. The hopper revolves with the carrying wheels, thus preventing clog- 

 ging an i insuring regular dropping. R -gularity of depth and evenness of covering are insured by 

 tue arrangement of the plow. While a good marker, a self-clearing plow, and the absence of all gear- 

 ing ana agitators, make these drills remarkable for durability, simplicity and ease of management. 

 Price, $12. 



THE FIREFLY HAND HOE AND PLOW. 



This toil does nearly the whole work of tending the garden from 

 Spring to Fall, opening furrows, covering, hoeing, and plowing to or 

 from, shallow or deep, and for 1882 is made stronger and better, and with 



<t" Price, $4.90. 



_ eyes for attaching a drawing rope when breaking up the garden deep before planting in the Spring. 



AVERY'S HAND PLOW. 



A thorough test of this implement in our grounds for several sea- 

 sons has satisfied us that it is one of the best tools of its kind we. 

 have ever tried. It is so light that a boy can use it, and yet so simple in 

 construction that it is njt liable to get out of order. In our heavy ground 

 one man can do as much with it as three with the hoe : on lighter soils 

 the difference would be much more in its favor. Price, $6.00 each. 



PLANET JR. COMBINED DRILL, WHEEL HOE, WHEEL 

 CULTIVATOR & WHEEL FLOW. 



As a Seed Drill it is exactly similar to the No. 2, though holding less seed. 

 It sows all garden seeds accurately, opening, marking the next row, covering and 

 rolling down at one operation. By removing one bolt it can be quickly made into 



a Garden Cultivator, Wheel Hoe, Wheel Cultivator or Wheel Plow. As a 



plow alone it will put the garden in excellent orler and keep it so, the work 



equaling in quality that of a horse cultivator, besides opening furrows 



covering, hilling, etc. As a hoe it works safely and closely, both sides of 



the row at once, when plant3 are very small, and weeds abundant. The 



hoes are exchangeable from side to sit!e. It has also three cultivator teeth 



making it a most efficient tool in all garden crops ; all the blades are tem- 

 pered and polished steel. Price, $14.00.
