PETER HENDERSON & CO.'S WHOLESALE MONTHLY LIST OF TOOLS, &c 25 



MISCELLANEOUS TOOLS. 



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 next row. all of which is done with mechanical precision, by simply pro- 

 r - the drill forward. In this way it sows with an evenness and rapidity impossible for 

 the most skilful hand to do. all the different varieties of Beet, Carrot, Onion, Turnip, 

 Parsnip, 6 - ■ Peas, Beans, Broom Corn, Fodder Com, etc 



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

 sures continuous and uniform delivery, and the bottom of the hopper is made sufficiently 

 dishing to sow the smallest quantity of seed. A simple contrivance' accurately gauges 

 the unifor: : f the teed to any required depth, thus avoiding the risk of planting 



at irregular depth, or so deep in places as to destroy the seed. The markers are made ad- 

 justable 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 that it is the only drill which has an 

 indicator with the names of the different seeds 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 right-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, $11.50, boxed. 



THE PLAXET JR. DOUBLE WHEEL HOE, WHEEL CULTIVATOR 



AXD DOUBLE PLOW. 



\Yill do the work of five to ten men with hand hoes, among market garden 

 and root crops, small nursery stock. <£c, 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 ha? 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 $9 00. 



THE PLAXET JR. No. 2 DRILL, (Xo Hoeing Attachment.) 



Sows with ease aDd 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 s^eds, time, labor, and in better 

 crops to all, who grow vegetables for home or market. The hopper revolves with the 

 carrying wheels, thus preventing clogging and insuring regular dropping. Regularity of 

 depth and evenness of covering are insured by the arrangement of the plow. "While a good 

 marker, a self-clearir.g plow, and the absence of all gearing and agitators, make these drills 

 remarkable for durabilitv, simplicitv and ease of management.
