aSsaililllllilte 



This tool is exceedingly useful to owners 

 of small gardens. It will throw a furrow 

 four to six inches wide and one to three 

 inches deep, and deeper by going twice. 

 Furrows for manure or seeds can be 

 opened and covered. In Cultivating, 

 plow away, weed and plow back again. 

 This tool will enable a busy man to do in 

 his spare minutes nearly all the work of 

 a family garden. Chicken Raisers find it 

 of great advantage in plowing up their 

 scratching yards.

It is the most accurate seeder in action and the nearest perfect in construction that we have ever offered. Accuracy of 

 construction makes for accuracy in operation and it saves seed and labor and insures an even stand of plants and a cor- 

 respondingly satisfactory crop. 



As a Seeder it drops all garden seeds in hills, 4, 6, 8, 12 or 24 inches apart, or sows them in drills with accuracy, 

 opening the furrow, Qovering, rolling down and marking the next row all at once. The seeds drop in full sight of the 

 operator the rear of the spout being open and white. 



The '*Qem of the Garden" Single Wheel 

 Hoe and Cultivator. 



A WONDERFULLY POPULAR GARDEN IMPLEMENT, 



No greater proof can be given of the popularity of a tool, or of its intrinsic 

 worth, than the one simple fact of a continued and increasmg demand for it. 

 During the past few years we have placed about 

 fifteen thousand of the "Gem of the Garden" in the 

 hands of gardners, and we are not aware of a single 

 instance in which it has failed to give thorough 

 satisfaction to the user. It is not a toy; neither is it 

 a tool calling for constant repair, the 

 "Gem" being made up of steel and malle- 

 able iron. The set of slender stirring 

 teeth, each stamped from one piece of 

 steel, cannot be excelled for 

 thorough work, especially in 

 hard soil. The "Gem" is 

 nicely finished and makes a 

 handsome implement. 



Price, plain, with five teeth only, S4.75; with Scuffle Hoes, Plows and Culti 

 vator Teeth, S6.25. Land Side Plow, extra, SI. 1.5. 



Rapp's Hand Seed Sower. 



For Frame and Hot Bed Sowings. 



This is the invention of a practical market 

 gardener of long experience who felt the need of 

 such a sower to avoid kneeling, reaching and back- 

 aches. It is light, weighing only 2 5^ lbs. , and sows 

 all kinds of seeds not larger than spinach seed, 

 thin or thick as set, and five times faster than by 

 hand, and it sows equally well going forwards or 

 backwards; consequently it is pushed along one 

 furrow and pulled back in the next, thus saving 

 time and lifting. The revolving brass covered 

 drum holds one pint of seeds which drop through 

 holes in a brass band which can be shifted to 

 make the opening larger, smaller, or to shut off 

 the flow of seed. The Rapp seed sower is a 

 homemade affair; it does not open furrows nor 

 cover the seed, therefore is so simple that it can 

 be used by the most inexperienced. Price, S,3.50. 



The ''New Model" Seed Drill. 



A favorite — retaining its popularity where known, on account of its sim- 

 plicity. Our Market Gardener friends tell us it is the one seei drill that they 

 can safely put in the hands of ignorant or unskilled work- 

 men, knowing that they can not go over the ground with- 

 out sowing the seed. The "New Model" Seed Drill does 

 not plant in hills, but it is one of the best continuous 

 row seeders on the market. The discharge can be 

 regulated to a hair's breadth, by moving a simple 

 index to the name of the seed to be sown. The 

 flow of seed can be instantly cut off for turning 

 rows, etc.; opens the drill, sows the seed, 

 covers and rolls the seed, and marks the 

 next row all at one operation. 

 Price, $10.00. 



The Columbia Garden Seed Planter. 



Made with geared or cog driven 

 seed delivery, consequently will sow 

 with absolute regularity no matter 

 what the speed of the operator. 

 Every seed is carried to the 

 ground and covered, not a seed can 

 escape nor pass 

 through the 

 machine unless 

 the machine is 

 in gear and 

 ready to do its 

 work. It will 

 sow all vege- 

 table and flow- 

 er seeds with 

 perfect uni- 

 formity and at 

 any required 

 depth. Full in- | 

 structions with I 

 each machine.
