GOLD MEDAL SUB=SOIL PLOW. 



Deep preparation of soil in laying down new lawns is one of the elements insuring a 

 good lawn, especially during hot dry weather. Of course the sub-soil must not tie 

 brought to the surface. By following the plow with a sub-soil plrw the hard pan can 

 be broken to a depth of from 15 to 20 inches, giving roots a wider range for food, and 

 the grass is lees susceptible to the effects of excessive drought or a wet season, as the 

 deep soil absorbs all the rain like a sponge and gradually gives off moisture during dry, 

 hot weather. The " Gold Medal " involves new principles and accomplishes the work 

 without throwing any sub-soil on top. Its merits are ease of penetration, light draft, 

 superior pulverization of hard pan, perfection of the "mole track" effect. The one- 

 horse plow will reach to a depth equal to the height of its standard — 15 to 16 inches — 

 and the two-horse plow to the depth of 20 inches.

THE 

 HENDERSON 



The Meeker Disc-Smoothing Harrow. 



A most valuable implement in the preparation of soil for new lawns; it fines and levels the 

 land equal to a steel rake. 



The frame is 6^ ft. x 6 ft., with four sets of rollers, having 58 discs. The discs on each set of 

 rollers work between each other. 



The board in the centre is set at an angle; is adjusted up and down, and acts as a leveller. 



The discs grind all lumps so fine that seed must come up, and mashes small stones below the 

 surface better than any field roller; it levels the ground at the same time, which a field roller 

 does not do. Price $J0. 00. 



WHEELBARROW 

 SEEDER. 



The Henderson ESpper Wheelbarrow Seeder. 



SOWS GRASS SEED MIXTURES AS WELL AS 

 HEAVY SEEDS OR LIGHT CHAFFY SEEDS. 



Lawn grass seed sown with this machine is more uniformly distrib- 

 uted than by hand, insuring an even stand of grass. 



This is a superior seeder. One side of the seed box is adopted for all 

 such heavy seeds as clover, timothy, millet, alfalfa, Hungarian, etc. 

 The opposite side handles the light chaffy seeds, as Red top, Kentucky 

 blue, orchaid grass, etc., as well as grass seed mixtures for golf, pas- 

 ture, hay, lawns, etc. The machine may be easily regulated to sow any 

 desired quantity per acre, sowing it accurately and evenly the whole 

 length of the hopper — '4 feet — and it does not clog up. The total 

 weight of the machine is only 40 pounds. The hopper is perfectly bal- 

 anced and is close to the large wheel — giving greatest force with least 

 exertion, and leaving light weight on the operator. Every machine 

 warranted to do good work, and of especial value on a windy day. Pull 

 directions with each seeder. Price $10.00.

DRIVEWAYS and 

 RACE TRACKS. 



The Scotch Chain Harrow is being now so much sought after for undermen- 

 tioned purposes that, we have imported and carry in stock a few of each size to 

 prevent" delay in filling hurry orders. It is one of the best Implements for pul- 

 verizing the surface of the soil, levelling and smoothing, and is also splendid for 

 covering grass seeds, etc., being superior to the Brush Harrow for this purpose. 

 Used on driveways and race tracks, it smooths the surface, eliminating ruts 

 and footprints. It is made of wrought-iron links, as illustrated above, and 

 is very durable.

SHUART LAND GRADER 



Especially adapted for Fine Grading, producing a beautifully 

 even surface, paring down knolls and evenly distributing 

 the earth in depressions. 



This machine is borne on three wheels, the front one being a caster wheel, al- 

 lowing the machine to be turned short about. The blade is raised and lowered 

 by a hand wheel and can be locked at any point by a spring bolt operated by 

 the foot. 



The blade is sharpened on both >rfS(l^, edges and is reversible. A 



pole holds the machine off the infirm horses, the bolt attaches, 



to the king bolt of the caster II wj% frame, is independent of 



the draft chain and subjects the ^ ¥=rr ?Mr"^ team to no strain what- 

 ever in turning. TTjIyjv 



For ordinary work but one l\ g&W0W man is required for the 



management of team and ma- ^aUHf \\\ chine. Standing upon the 



platform, holding the reins in inH\ M ono hand and wita tne 



other hand upon the wheel, the I ; f.f| operator scans the surface* 



as he proceeds and adjusts the blade to the cut required. The scraper filled, he 

 carries the load to its destination, and without stopping the team, readjusts the 

 blade for spreading the earth, which passes beneath the blade in a smooth sheet 

 as the machine proceeds. The earth can be dropped in a heap or can be spread 

 as desired. 



The blade is 5% feet long by 14 inches in width, and as the fenders prevent the 

 earth from escaping at the ends of the blades, the capacity of this machine for 

 moving earth is much greater than that of other scrapers of equal blade area. 

 The lightness of draft in view of the amount of earth moved is accounted for by 

 the smooth, even cut with which it gathers its load and the fact that the load is 

 in a measure borne by the wheels.
