ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY PLANT CATALOGUE. 



IHclilbonten Improved 



Tertilizen Distributor 



A complete practical and attractive ma- 

 chine, simple in construction, easily under- 

 stood and effective in operation. It will 

 pay for itself the first week in the saving 

 of labor alone besides the satisfaction and 

 saving of having your fertilizer evenly dis- 

 tributed. 



I am using three machines and will 

 shortly add more. If I could not replace 

 those three, $50.00 a piece would not 

 buy them. 



FOR TOP DRESSING STRAWBER- 

 RIES IT HAS NO EQUAL. It distrib- 

 utes the fertlizer all over the row evenly 

 just where you want it and just the quantity you want as fast as a man can 

 walk. 



FOR SOWING FERTILIZER IN THE DRILL push the spouts all together 

 and your fertilizer is evenly distributed over the bottom of the furrow just where 

 you want it and just the quantity you want without waste and far better than 

 by hand or with any other machine that I have ever seen or heard of. 



This machine is particularly adapted to the needs of the truck farmer and 

 market gardener. It is so arranged that the fertilizer can be applied in any 

 manner that may be desired, as the operator has perfect control of the spread 

 or division of the same, any change for that purpose requiring only a few 

 seconds. 



It distributes the fertilizer in a furrow, beside the growing crop, as a top 

 dresser or as a broadcaster to any extent up to a uniform spread of over two 

 feet, without removing or adding any parts or loosening a bolt, and in any 

 quantity from a very few pounds up to forty or more pounds to the hundred 

 yards of row. 



An Important Feature. 



The spouts or channels through which the fertilizer passes to the ground 

 open and close like a fan, so that starting with a width of four or five inches 

 the spread can be gradually increased to about thirty inches. 



The distributor is light, yet rigid and strong, and easy and pleasant to use 

 by man or boy. This machine has been selling for $12.00 but by special ar- 

 rangement with the manufacturers which will cause them to sell a great many 

 distributors, I am enabled to offer this indispensable implement to my custom- 

 ers and the public f. o. b. factory at the popular price of 



IACH.
