Matthews New Universal Model Hill and Drill Seeder. 



This implement is the same in style and working qualities as the one just described, but is arranged so as to drop the seed either con- 

 tinuously in drills or at distances of 4, 8, 12, 16, 24 and 48 inches apart. The adjustment from drills to hills is made by one screw in 

 attaching a brass cut-off to the agitator. The distance apart is regulated by the number of cogs on the driving wheel against which the 

 agitator strikes. The seed cannot drop except when the hole in the bottom of seed box is opened by the agitator striking a cog on the 

 wheel and it immediately closes again as the agitator drops. This saves seed, as no more need be dropped at a time than is desired, no 

 matter what the distance may be. There are no parts to wear or get out of order. If this implement is wanted be sure and order the 

 •* Hill and Drill Seeder," as the regular garden drill cannot be fitted with the attachments.

Matthews New Universal Model 

 Combination Drill. 



DOUBLE WHEEL, WITH HOE, CULTIVATOR, 

 PLOW AND RAKE ATTACHMENTS. 



Retail Price, $9.00. List Price, $12.50. 



This is not only a desirable combination of the Garden Drill 

 already described with the New Universal Cultivating Attach- 

 ment, but it has the advantages of having 

 either a double wheel or siugle wheel im- 

 plement at will, the change from one to 

 the other being readily made. 



The use of a one wheel seed sower in- 

 sures the nicer work, as if two wheels are 

 used an obstruction under one wneel or the 

 other has a tendency to crook the rows, and 

 this makes after cultivation harder. The 

 operator always has a one-wheel seeder 

 under full control, and in addition the 

 single wheel follows in the mark made 

 when plantina the previous row and pre- 

 sents a sight to keep the rows straight. 



The two wheels are desirable, however, 

 when used as a cultivator or wheel hoe as in this way the rows of young plants may be straddled and the cultivating done on both sides 

 of the row at one passing. The special feiture of this implement is that when used in straddle- row cultivation there is no projection 

 below the frame to interfere with plants. The seeding and covering attachments can be readily removed when the implement is used for 

 cultivating. It is not necessary to remove the seed box, but it can be taken off if desired. The combination is one which cannot fall of 

 recommending itself to all. The attachments are— 



ONE (1) PAIR HOES- FIVE (5) CULTIVATOR TEETH. 



ONE (1) " RAKES. ONE (1) PAIR PLOWS. 



Extracts from Prof. S. B. Green's report in Bulletin No. 38 of Minnesota Experiment Station, 

 as published in the " Market Garden " for March, 1895. 



" During the past year I have made a special study of garden implements best adapted for garden use. The (New Universal) Combi- 

 nation Drill and Cultivator is arranged to use either one or two wheels. The indicator is very simple in construction and easily handled. 

 The agitator is sure to keep the seed moving through constantly. The depth of sowing can easily be regulated. The marker is well 

 adapted for giving a clean track for successive rows, and is easily changed to different widths. A convenient cut-off is provided to use 

 when turning at the ends of the rows to prevent loss of seed. The change from the drill to the cultivator can be made very quickly. For 

 working the soil it has hoes, plows, rakes and cultivator teeth of good shape and size. It can be used successfully to open or close furrows. 

 The machine is adapted to working on both sides of a single row with two wheels or between the rows. The manufacturers recommend 

 for market gardeners instead of this combined implement separate implements to save the time of changes 



"The New Universal hand double wheel hoe, cultivator and plow is an implement of recent introduction, having all the latest im- 

 provements. It contains a handy feature in the adjustable arch by which the depth of the cultivator teeth may be regulated. It may be 

 used to work betweeu the rows or to straddle one row. 



This has been perfected to meet the demand for a low-priced drill. 

 We have not only accomplished this in our design, but here offer a 

 drill with all the essential qualities of the Matthews principle, even 

 to embodying eed Dial and Indicator, from exactly same patterns as 

 those used on the larger and more expensive drills. We do not rec- 

 ommend it for use instead of the larger drills, but we are sure that all 

 in want of such a drill as we represent this to be will find it to their 

 advantage to buy the Matthews Garden Gem. This drill does not have 

 the new seed cut-off, but the agitator can be checked same as in the 

 larger drills.
