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 l)is aim for years 

 to make a j^erfect drill and do away with the objections found in 

 all others, and in the New York he has accomplished it. Its ad- 

 vantages over other drills are as follows : 



1. Marker -bar under the frame, held by clamps, easy to ad- 

 just to any width by simply loosening thumlD nuts. 



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

 set to sow at anj depth. 



3. Open seed conductor to show seed drox)ping. 



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

 prevent disturbing strong plants when thinning out — an im- 

 portant feature. 



5. Eidged 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, pre- 

 venting 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. Weight about 45 pounds. 

 Price $12 00.
