The Seeding Device. 



List Price $S.OO 



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

 showing transparently the solid wall of the seed box. The indicator, which is also shown above, has tha 

 names of the various seeds plainly marked upon it- The DIAL has a separate hole for each kind of seed, 

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

 nicety by means of the REG ULA 5R, held by a thumb-screw. To lead the seed to the central opening there 

 is provided a CORRUG.\TED and shouldered bottom, which admits of dropping any quantity of seed, even to 

 a SINGLE PAPER. The feed is practically a force feed. No other device ever met with the success of the 

 AGITATOR. Principally for droppinsall ihe imall gardeuseeda. The seed is not bruised or d.imaged by the 

 AGIT.iTOR. The M.A.NUAL CUT-OFF indicated in the illustration by the dotted lines, with its spiral spring 

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

 need Vjp wast'';i in turning rows. 



Matthews' 



Hill and Drill Seeder. 



Matthews' % 



This implement 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 48 inches apart. The adjustment trom drills to hills is made bv cue sciesv in attaching a brass cut-off to the agitator. The distance apart is regulated by the 

 number of cogs on the driving wheel agaiost which the agitator strikes. The seed cannot drop e,vcept when the hole in the bottom of seed-bos 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 titled with the attachments. Our retail price, §7.25. List price, S9. 00. 



The manufacturers of thi line do Tiot make a Hill and Drill Seeder with cultiva'ing attachments, and we would recomme- d. as FAR PREFERABLE, one of the above 

 separate drills and a separate single wheel hoe complete, « itli ALL the attachments, forVhich our retail price covering the two separate implements is only $12.00. 



Constellation Seeder, Hoe, Culti- 

 vator, Plow, Rake and Marker. 



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 heiug either a double wheel or single wheel implement 

 at will, the change from 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 the rows of young plauts may be straddled and the cultivating done on both 

 Bides 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(l) Patr Hoes, Five (5) Cultivator Teeth, One (1) 

 Pair Rakes, One (1) Pair Plows.

Can be used as one wheel or two wheel . 



Marker 



Is of a less ex- 

 pensive pattern, 

 but such as is 

 generally c m - 

 ployed on other 

 drills for which 

 a higher price is 

 asked. It may 

 be set for the va- 

 rious distai/ces, 

 and is thrown 

 from side to side, 

 being pivoted be- 

 tween tlie han- 

 dles. 



Gem Seed DrilL 



It, has a new seed regulator for gaugingthe exact flow of seed re- 

 quired; sec d cut-off for stopping the flow while turning at the eude 

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

 distance aiuirt. We do not recommend it for use Instead of the 

 larger drills, hut we are sure that allin want of such a drill as we 

 represent will find this to be a very valuable implement.
