THE NEW YORK SEED DRILL. 



MATTHEWS' PATENT. 



I take pleasure 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. G. 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 width by simply loosening thumb nuts. 



2. Adjustable plow, which opens a wide furrow, and can be set to 

 sow at any depth. 



3. Open seed conductor to show seed dropping. 



4. Bars in seed conductor, for scattering seed in wide furrows, 

 prevents disturbing strong plants when thinning out— an important 

 feature. 



5. Eidged roller. 



6. Dial plate in full sight of operator, and made of patent com- 

 bination 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 Up 

 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. Weight about 45 pounds. Price, 

 $10 00.
