 Seed Drill. 



One of the most perfect 

 Drills in America.

$6.50. 



NEW PERFECT INDEX 



THE record of the "New Model" has been so entirely satisfactory, 

 and its place as one the leading drills has become so firmly estab- 

 lished that we are almost tempted to discard the term "New." It 

 is surprising- to see how quickly it has been adopted by the seedsmen 

 and market gardeners as an old friend. 



REGULATION OF DISCHARGE.— Drills of similar construction are 

 usually provided with 'a series of holes of varying sizes through which 

 the seed is passed, which, of course, do not always give an opening of 

 the exact size required. As will be readily seen, by reference to the 

 sectional cut shown, this adjustment is accomplished in a very simple 

 and effective manner by use of a slide with a pear-shaped opening, pass- 

 ing under the bottom of the seed reservoir, which is provided with a 

 perforation of similar shape in a reversed position. This slide can be 

 instantly adjusted to size indicated by Index, or to a hair-breadth vari- 

 ation between— a vital point in a perfect seed drill. 



INDEX.— As shown by enlarged cut below, the Index or Indicator is 

 plain, convenient and reliable. It is placed in open sight immediately 

 under the eye of the operator, and, as stated above can be quickly ad- 

 justed to the slightest variation desired. As the names of the principal 

 seeds are plainly shown on the Index itself, it is not necessary to refer to any table of reference. 



CUT-OFF.— The flow of seed can be instantly stopped by a swinging cut-off, conveniently operated by a cord and 

 ring on handle. This cut-off prevents all loss of seed at end of rows, and its swinging or gravity form will be found 

 far preferable to one that slides under, as it cannot be jammed by the failing seed. 

 MARKER.— Is simple, easily adjusted and firmly held. 



BROAD WHEEL.— The main wheel is of large size an-i of unusual width, preventing its sinking into soft earth. 

 COVERING ROLLER.— Is attached by swinging frame, enabling operator to roll lightly or otherwise, by varying 

 the pressure on handles ; or, as some object to use of roller, it, with its frame, can be quickly removed. 

 OPENING PLOW. — Is of steel, adjustable in depth. 

 HAnDLKS.— Kirmly holted, traced and adjustable in height. 



The Gem Wheel Hoe. 



AN OLD TOOL, BUT NOTHING BEATS IT YET 



PRICE, - 



$4.00 



DURING the last few years about fifteen thousand of the 

 Gem Wheel Hoes have been placed in the hands of Gar- 

 deners and in every case thev have been pleased with them so 

 far as we know. It is a thoroughly practical tool in every respect, 

 made largely of steel and mal- 

 leable iron. The Gem is nicely 

 finished and makes a handsome 

 implement. A wrench accom- 

 panies each tool. 



The Jewel 

 Wheel Plow 



PRICE, $2.00. 



Malleable Iron and Steel. Very 



light and convenient. A grand little tool for the garden 



The "Jewel" Double Wheel Hoe, 

 Cultivator and Plow 

 Combined, 



IN these days of "intense" farm- 

 ing—with a liberal use of fertil- 

 izers and close planting of crbps— 

 economy demands the use of Wheel 

 Hoes, not only in the small garden 

 plot, but in the larger field as well. 

 Economy, in the expenditure of manual labor, like- 

 wise demands that Wheel Hoes shall be constructed 

 in such a manner and of such material as to insure 

 lightness together with great strength. Ordinarily 

 they are made of cast iron, and in the attempt to pro- 

 duce a tool sufficiently light, constant disastrous breaks while at 

 work are the sure results. To accomplish the one and avoid the other, 

 the entire frame of the "'Jewel' 1 Hoe is made of the best malleable 

 iron, making an exceedingly light tool and one pleasant to handle, 

 at the same time giving an almost absolute security against break- 

 ages. The "Jewel" is capable of being quickly adjusted in depth or 

 width of working, or height of handles. As shown in cut, it is pro- 

 vided with four slender stirring teeth, each one made 

 of one piece of steel, unexcelled for thorough work, 

 especially on fiard soil ; one pair of side hoes, particu- 

 larly intended for use among small plants ; also a pair 

 of plows for throwing to or from the row, or for open- 

 ing furrows. The standards of these hoes and plows 

 are of malleable iron — no cast iron. 

 THE "JEWEL" DOUBLE WHEEL HOES are care- 

 fully made, handsomely finished, and weigh but 

 32 lbs., each complete.
