1 Seeder^ 



Although this machine has been much improved 

 and simplified in recent years, yet tlie same gen- 

 eral principles which characterized it when sold 

 from $10.00 to $12.00 each are still retained. It 

 differs materially and very advantageously from 

 all other Sowers in liaving a slope feedboard with 

 an oblong liopper which terminates in a metal 

 edge, on whicli edge oscillates a feed plate which 

 decs not allow the seed to become clogged, but 

 makes a positive force feed and insures a uniform 

 flow and even distribution of seed. Anyone de- 

 siring a convenient, practical and an all-round 

 first-class grain and grass seeder, a good, large 

 sower that will meet tlie most exacting ^BIH 

 demands, we cannot recommend the [ 

 CYCLGITE too highly.

"VELVETLAWN" SEEDERS 



MAKE PERFECT LAWNS AND GREENS 



Will Sow 60 Acres per Day of Clover, 

 Timothy, Millet, Alfalfa, Plaz, Etc. 



Cheap, durable, weighs 

 12 oz. Simple, no repairs. 

 Will spread seed evenly 

 from 30 t© 40 feet. Meth- 

 od of sowing is by swing- 

 ing tube in horizontal po- 



$20.00 



By lapping half the width of the machine, 

 the seed rows will be one inch instead of two 

 inches apart. 



The annexed cut shows front view of "Vel- 

 vetlavvn" Seeder. There are eight single disks 

 on the machine set two inches apart. Plants 

 eight rows of seed at a time, or a strip six- 

 teen inches wide. The roller at the rear of 

 machine firms the earth over the seed. There 

 are as many force feeds on the Seeder as 

 there are disks. Every feed sows an equal 

 amount of seed, and feeds can be set to sow 

 any quantity desired. Each disk is inde- 

 pendent in action and automatically con- 

 forms to the inequali- 

 ties of the ground. 



All old sod is root 

 bound. The cutting ac- 

 tion of the disks re- 

 lieves this condition, 

 cultivates the grass 

 roots, and at tlie same 

 time plants new seed 

 IN THE SOD— NOT ON 

 TOP. 



Each and every feed 

 on the "VELVET- 

 LAAVN" Seeder sows an 

 absolutely equal amount 

 of seed. Therefore all 

 Of the seed furrows contain the same quantity. 



sition from right to left, 



which closely resembles the 



old method by hand. Gives 



control over seed on a circle 



of 8 feet before it leaves the 



tube, and the wind has no 

 chance to blow seed in^o bunclies before 

 it strikes the ground. PiMce, $1.25. 



One movement of the Gauge Lever automatically changes 

 all the feeds. The operator can sow any amou»t of seed de- 

 sired. 



Seed can be sown when the conditions are right — wind or no 

 wind. There is no waiting for a "still" day. In addition to 

 sowing grass seed and clover, is also admirably adapted for 

 drilling all small seeds, such as: 



Onion, Radish, Lettuce, Carrot, Etc. 



By placing covers over the feed openings in the hopper 

 bottom. 



SOWING' PERTILIZERS. 



The macliine will not sow seed and fertilizer at the same 

 time. Always sow the fertilizer first- Then empty tlie hop- 

 per and sow the seed. 



We do not recommend commercial fertilizers or acid phos- 

 pliates to be sown with this machine, for the reason that they 

 cause corrosion and are very liable to cement the working 

 parts of the Seeder. 



The best fertilizers that can be used in sod or new grading 

 are dry ground sheep manure, dry ground lime, dry bone meal 

 and dry screened wood aslies. 



Tliis machine opens furrows in the sod or soil, and the 

 fertilizing materials are conducted into the trenches without 

 being blown over tlie premises. 



If there was no other use for the "Velvetlawn" Seeder than 

 to drill fertilizer in greens and lawns, the reasonable purchase 

 price would never he regretted.
