MATTHEWS' HAND CULTIVATOR. 



One of the best implements in use for weedinR between row crops, and flat cultivation 

 generally. It spreads from C to 14 inches, and will cut all the ground covered oven, when 

 spread to its widest extent. The depth of cultivating is gauged by raising or lowering the 

 wheel. Price, $6.5U each. 



MATTHEWS' GARDEN SEED DRILL. 



Is one of the most perfect machines of its kind. It opens the furrow, drops the seed accurately, covers it and lightly rolls 

 it, and at the same time marks the next row, all of which is done %vith mi'chanical precision, by simply propelling the drill for- 

 ward. In this way it sows with an evenness and rapidity impossible for the most skillful hand 

 to do, all the ditf Tent varieties of Beet, Carrot, Oniwi, Turnip, Parsnip, Sage, Spinach, Sorghum, 

 Peas, Bean.'^, Broom Corn, Fodihyr Corn, etc. 



The agitator stirs the seeds in the hopper thoroughly by a positive motion, which insures 

 continuous and uniform delivery, and the bottom of the hopp>r is made sutflcieutly dishing to 

 sow the smallest quantity of seed. .\ simple contrivance aixit ately gaujes the uniform deposit of 

 Vic reed to any required d^pth. thus avoiding the ris'; of planting at irregular depths, or so deep in 

 places as to destroy the seed. Tho markers are made adjustable for the purpose of marking the 

 rows at any desired distance apart, and they mark them distinctly, whether the ground is even 

 or uneven. 



Another great advantage which it possesses over any other machine is fat it is t'le only drill 

 which has an itrDiCKToa with the mma oft'ie di{prent S'p U thereon. Simply turu it until the name 



of the seed to be planted comes up to th ; iudicator-pin. which revolves the dial, attached to the bottom of the hopper, until the 

 right-sized hole in it for planting that seed comes directly into place. This ingenious invention is a great improvement over any 

 other method in use, and is much more convenient and reliable. Price, $13.00, boxed.

 root crops, small nursery stock, fee, and is especially adapted to onion culture. 

 With this hoe the operator tends very readily botli sides of a row at once much more 

 easily and closely than he can tend one side of each of two rows. This is an invaluable 

 feature especially in crops sowed on ridges. The wheels can be set four, .^eveii or 

 ten inches apart. It has a pair of hoes, a pair of plows, and two pairs of cultivator 

 teeth, making it capable of every variety of work. It cuts &om six to sixteen inches 

 wide, throwing to or from the row as desired. Price. $10.00.

 fly Plow, making the work of garden and root crops quite easy, and will be pre- 

 ferred by many to the Double Wheel Hoe and Firefly separate. It has a pair of 

 exchangeable hoes, to be used while the plants are small, to throw either to or 

 from the row, a set of reversible cultivator teeth, and a garden plow. The wheel 

 is adjustable in height to suit any operator. I>rice, $7.00. 



THE PLANET JR. No. 2 DRILL, (No Hoeing Attachment.) 



Sows with ease and accuracy at any exact depth or thickness, all garden, 

 field and nursery seeds possible to be sown with a drill, and quickly repays its 

 , , , cost in saving of seed, time, labor, and in better crops to all, who grow vegeta- 



wes for home or market. The hopper revolves with the carrying wheels, thus preventing dig- 

 ging and insuring regular dropping. Regularity oi depth and evenness of covering are insured by 

 the arrangement of the plow. Wliilo a good marker, a self-clearing plow, and the absence of all gear- 

 ing and agitators, make these drills remarkable for durability, simpUcitv and ease of management. 

 Price, $12. 



THE FIREFLY HAND HOE AND PLOW.

 Spring to Fall, opening furrows, covering, hoeing, and plowing to or 

 from, shallow or deep, and for 1882 is made stronger and better, and with 



eyes for attaching a drawing rope when breaking up the garden deep before planting in the Sprine 

 Price, $4.00. ^ o *• b 



AVERY'S HAND PLOW. 



A thorough test of this implement in our grounds for several sea- 

 sons has satisfied us that it is one of tho best tools of its kind we 

 have ever tried. It is so light that a boy can use it, and yet so simple in 

 construction that it is not liable to get out of order. In our heavy ground 

 one man can do as much with it as thrje with the hoe : on lighter soils 

 the difference would be much more in its favor. Price, $G.00 each. 



PLANET JR. COMBINED DRILL, WHEEL HOE, WHEEL 

 CULTIVATOR A. WHEEL PLOW. 



As a Seed Drill it is exactly similar to the No. 2, though holding less seed. 

 It sows all garden seeds accurately, opening, marking the next row, covering and 

 rolling down at one operation. By removing one bolt it can be quickly made into 



a Garden Cultivator, Wheel Hoe, Wheel Cultivator or Wheel Plow. As a 



plow alone it will put the garden in excellent order and keep it so, the work 



equaling in quality that of a horse cultivator, besides opening furrows 



covering, hilling, etc. As a hoe it works salely and closely, both sides of 



the row at once, when plants are very small, aud weeds abundant. The 



hoes are exchangeable from side to side. It has also three cultivator teeth 



making it a most efficient tool in all garden crops ; all the blade? are tem- 

 pered and polished ateel. Price, $14.00.
