Nagley's Transplanting Macliine. 



This Transplanter has been fully tested on all kinds of soil, and 

 can be operated and worked satisfactorily on any ground on 

 which you wish to transplant tobacco, cabbage, celery, tomatoes. 

 • tc. It is indispensable to those who have used it and can be 

 perated so that plants can be transplanted 16, 18, 20, 22. 30 or 45 

 . nches apart, or other distances, with a .}i-inch stream or more on 

 ;he roots of the plants. The covering rollers pack the roots 

 leaving the dry dirt around the stalk or 

 heart of the plant; thus the roots are kept 

 moist a number of days without danger of 

 V.aking. It is also a great labor-saving ma- 

 chine, especially in showery weather, as it 

 only takes two boys and driver to plant 

 from four to six acres a day with it. The 

 machine carries a cask of water which will 

 water 1.200 plants, which, with proper care in 

 transplanting, will live except where worms or 

 other in.sects destroy them. 



In front of the plow which works in the ground 

 there is an adjustable cleaner (shown in cut), 

 which cleans away from in front of the plant 

 (being set) the loose stone and lumps of dirt 

 which otherwise might be packed around the 

 roots or stalk of the plant; thus it will work in 

 stony ground as well as any other. 



The roller packers roll over obstacles which 

 shoes would drag along and interfere with set- 

 ting the plants. 



Some use them for planting corn, potatoes, tobacco, 

 cabbage, etc.
