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. Ridged roller. 
6. Dial plate in full sight of operator, and made of patent com- 
bination white metal, which prevents rust 
7% inal 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. 3 
It is the SIMPLEST, MOST COMPACT and EASIEST Bele 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. :
