SEED DRILLS AND CULTIVATORS. 



MONITOR SEED DRILL. 



A light, strong and durable Seed Drill, made wholly of metal, for 

 which the manufacturers claim the following advantages : that — 



It measures and drops the seeds with a positive motion. 



It can be regulated to drop any desired number of seeds per foot or 

 yard with the greatest exactness. 



It leaves the seed with great uniformity, and perfectly free from 

 blank spaces and bunches; points attained by no other machine. 



It is impossible to waste seed. 



It opens the ground, drops the seed, covers and rolls it, and marks 

 the next row to be sown at the same time. 



Having two driving wheels, it has a tendency to go perfectly 

 straight, making the rows parallel, and of any width required, the 

 wheels being adjustable on the axle. 



The eoverer and drill are also adjustable, adapting it to any soil. 



It will sow all varieties of seed, and is especially adapted to onion,, 

 carrot, beet, turnip, and all other garden seeds.

MATTHEWS' GARDEN SEED DRILL. 



This Drill is designed to be used in either field or garden, and is one of 

 the most perfect machines of its kind. When in operation, it opens the 

 furrow, drops the seed accurately at the desired depth, 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 propelling the drill forward. 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, Peas, Beans, Broom Corn, Fodder Corn, 

 etc. 



The agitator stirs the seeds in the hopper thoroughly by a positive mo- 

 tion, which insures 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 uniform deposit of the seed to 

 any required depth, thus avoiding the risk 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 that it is the only drill which has an indicator 

 with the names of the different seeds thereon. This indicator is devised to simplify the adjustment for sowing different 

 varieties of seeds. It is securely attached to the side of the hopper, in plain sight, and is made use of for changing from 

 sowing one kind of seed to another by simply turning it until the name of the seed to be planted comes up to the indi- 

 cator-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, ana 

 is much more convenient and reliable. Price, $13.00, boxed. 



PLANET JR., SEED DRILLS AND WHEEL HOES. 



The Planet, Jr., Garden Drill No. 2. (Cut. No. 1.) 



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, and labor to all who grow for home and mar- 

 ket. Price, boxed, $12.00. 



The Planet, Jr., Double 

 Wheel Hoe and Cultiva- 

 vator. (Cut. No. 2.) 



Is a tool those who grow roots for 

 stock or vegetables for market, cannot 

 afford to be without. When used as 

 shown in the cut, it will shave close to 

 the small plants both sides at once, 

 _ without covering them, and ten times 

 gg faster than with the hand hoe, doing 

 perfect work. When the two cultivat- 

 ing teeth are used, it loosens the ground 

 thoroughly, killing young weeds and 

 cultivating deeply, while with the two 

 small plows neat furrows can be thrown 

 to or from the rows of Potatoes, Peas, Beans, Celery, etc. Price boxed, g9.oo.

CUT. NO. 2, 



The Planet, Jr., Com- 

 bined Drill, Wheel Hoe 

 and Garden Plow. 



This tool, though somewhat 



smaller than the others, combines 



in itself the working qualities of 



both, being as efficient as a drill, 



and equally as efficient as a hoe 



and cultivator, except for large 



plants. The Steel Garden Plow 



is a valuable feature, and the 



whole combination is by far the 

 best ever offered. The first cut shows it as a drill, complete, with adjustable opening plow, eoverer roller, and marker; 

 and Cut No. 2, as a garden plow. Price, boxed, $14.00.
