The Seeding Device. 



THE SEEDING DEVICE employed od all Matthews' Seeders is set forth in the accompanying illustration, 

 showing tr ansparently tlie solid wall .of the seed box. The indicator, which is also shown above, has ths 

 namosof the various s>-eds plainly marked upoTi i'.- The DIAL has a feparate hole for each kind of seed, 

 which registers ill the CENTRE of the hole in bottom of seed-box. The hole in the dial may be gauged to a 

 nicetv by means of theKK(;ULA IK, held by a thumli-screw. To le;id the seed to the cen'ral opening there 

 is provided a CORRUOATED and shouldered bottom, which admits of dropping any quantity of seed, even to 

 a SINGLE PAPEK. The feed i^ pracTically a force feed. No other rieviCf* ever met wiih Ihe success of the 

 AGITATOR. Principally for dropping all \he "mull garden seeds. The seed is not bruised or damaged by the 

 AGITATOR. The MANUAL CUT-OFF indicated in the illustration by the dotted lim s, with iis ,<spiral spring 

 connection, is worked from the handle by a wire, and the flow of seed may thus be instantly checked. No seed 

 need be wasted in turning rows.

Hill and Drill Seeder. 



This implerneut is the same in style and working qualities as the one just described, but is arranged so as to drop the seed continuously in drills or at a distance of 4, 8, 

 12. 16, 24 and 4S inches apart. The adjustment from drills to hills is made bv one sci ew in attaching a brass cut off to the agitator. The distance apart is regulated by the 

 nunaber of cogs on the driving wheel against which the agitator strikes. Tlie 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 imnjediately closes again as the agitato.- drops. This saves seed, as no more need be dropped at a time than is desired, no matter what 

 the distance may be. T here are no parts to wear or get out of order. If this implement is wanted be sure and order the "Hill and Diili Seeder," as the regular garden 

 drill cannot be fitted with the attachments. Our retail price, S7.00. List price, S9.00. 



The manufacturers of tin line do not make a Hill and Drill Seeder with cultiva'ing attachments, and we wo'ild recomme d. as FAR PREFERABLE, one of the above 

 separate drills and a separate single wheel hoe complete, with ALL the att.ichinent?, tor which our retail price covering the two separate implements is only §11. 25.

This is not only a desirable combination of the Garden Drill already described with the New Universal 

 Cultivating attachment, but it has the advantage of l.eiiig either a double wheel or single wheel implement 

 at will, the change trom one to the other being readily made. 



The use of a one-wheel Seed Sower insures the nicer work, as if two wheels are used an obstruction 

 under one wheel 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 planting the previous row and presents a s ght to keep the rows straight. The two 

 wheels are desirable, however, when used as a cultivator or wheel hoe, as in this 

 way ths rows of young plants may be straddled and the cultiv.ating done on both 

 sides of the row at one passing. The special feature of this implement is that when 

 used in straddle row cultivation there is no projection below the frame to interfere 

 with plants. The combination is one which cannot fail of recommending itself to 

 all. The attachments are— One (1) Pair Hoes, Five (5) Cultivator Teeth, One (1) 

 Pair Rakes, One (1) Pair Plows.

Gem Seed Drill* 



It has anew seed reu iilatoi- for gaugingthe exact flow of seed re- 

 quired; seed cut-ofC for stopping the fl"W while turning at the ends 

 of rows, and marker adjuster for marking tbe rows at any desired 

 distance apart. We do not recommend it for use instead of the 

 larger drills, but we are sure that all in want of such a drill as we 

 represent will find this to be a very valuable implement.
