THE NEW YORK SEED DRSLL. 



MATTHEWS' PATENT. 



I take pleasiire in calling your attention to a perfect Seed Drill. This Drill was invented 

 and perfected by the father of the seed-drill business — Mr. E. Gr. Matthews. It has been his 

 aim for years to make a perfect drill and do away with the objections found in all others, and in 

 the New York he has accomplished it. Its advantages over other drills are as follows: 



1. Marker-bar under the frame, held by 

 clamps, easy to adjust to any ^idth by simply 

 loosening thumb nuts. 



2. Adjustable plow which opens a wide 

 furrow, and canTae set to sow at any depth. 



3. Open seed conductor to show seed drop- 

 ping. 



4. Bars in seed conductor, for scattering seed 

 in wide furrows, prevents disturbing strong 

 plants when thinning out — an important 

 feature. 



5. Ridged roller. 



6. Dial plate in full sight of operator, and 



made of patent combination white metal which 

 prevents rust. 



7. Dial plate set on fulcrum, and hence 

 holds close up, preventing seed from spilling. 



8. It has a large seed-box with hinged cover. 



9. Machine will stand up alone when not 

 in use, not liable to tip over. 



It is the SIMPLEST, MOST COMPACT and 

 EASIEST DRILL TO HANDLE, being only 

 32 inches long. 



It covers the seed better and runs very easy. 



Packed in crates for shipping. Weighs about 

 45 pounds. Price, $10.00. 



MATTHEWS' HAND CULTIVATOR 



The Matthews' Hand Cultivatob is one of 

 the best implements in use for weeding be- 

 tween row crops, and for flat cultivation 

 generally, and is an indispensable companion 

 to the seed drill. 



It is thoroughly constructed throughout, 

 very durable; easy to operate. A hoy can do 

 as much with it as six r)ien with lioes. It spreads 

 from 6 to 14 inches, and will cut all the ground 

 covered, even when spread to its greatest ex- 

 tent. Its teeth are of a new and improved 

 pattern and thoroughly pulverize and mellow 

 the soil. The depth of cultivating may be 

 accurately gauged by raising or lowering the 

 vrheels, which is quickly done hy the use of a 

 thumb screw. 



Price, $6.00, boxed.
