Having bought the right to manufacture and sell this valuable implement, in the City of Richmond, and all 

 the territory east of the Blue Ridge in Virginia, excepting the counties of Loudon, Fauquier, Madison, Or- 

 ange, Green, Albemarle, Louisa, Alexandria, Fairfax, Prince William, Staffo d, Rappahannock and Culpeper. 

 1 now solicit earlv orders for the same, upon the most favorable terms to the purchaser, viz. : I will send the 



to every person who will send his address, with reference and directions how to forward, subject to be returned 

 after trial, if not found as represented, and superior to any other implement known for gleaning purposes. 



Under favorable circumstances, when used after cradles, it will save wheat enough to pay its entire cost in 

 six hours. An active boy can drive his own horse and Glean 25 acres a day. Small low stumps, rocks and 

 roots, do not prevent its usefulness. It has metalic spring teeth, which adapt themselves to all unevenness 

 of the ground, and secure everv scattering straw. 



Gleanings vary from one to two bushels to the acre ; a fact only appreciated by those who have used the 

 spring tooth gleaner. Independent of its usefulness as a hay rake and gleaner, it is invaluable for raking in 

 clover grass and other small seeds. See Southern Planter for March 1856, and June 1855. 



Out of more than 1,000 persons using and recommending the above implement, I will refer to the former 

 President and present Secretary of the Virginia Agricultural Society, and the editor of the Southern Planter.
