UXIVERSAL FOUR BLADE HOE. 



Indispensable for cither Florists or Market Gardeners who plant close, say at 

 from nine to twelve inches; and is among the very lieat tools lately made. The 

 past season, ic our own practice, we used it with the most satislactory results, and 

 found it most effective, and suitable for general work in our grounds of twenfv-llve 

 acres in close crop, we believe that the four we have in use save us from |;i,dOn lo 

 $1,200 per annum in labor. Than if we did the work with the ordinary fork or scuffle 

 hoes. Besides this, the cultivaiion is deeper, and in all respects preferable to any 

 liind of hand hoe.— I'rice. $4.00 fach.
