 of operation, quality of work, and variety of adjustment, and in this improved 

 form is, unquestionably, the lightest running, the most convenient and 

 practical Single Wheel Uoe known. 



The form of the blades is superior to all other fehapes, insuring a for- 

 ward slanting cut next to the plant, and consequent close wort. 

 without danger, and at the same time, thorough cultivation o) 

 the soil. The rakes and cultivator teeth, in combinatioQ with 

 the hoes and plow, enable the operator to perform almost 

 every variety of work, cither iu the field or garden. A 

 leaf guard (detachable) is very useful iu late hoe- 

 ing. All rows, from six to eighteen inches apart, 

 can be perfectly hoed at orie passage. The 

 frame allows every desirable adjustment, is 

 quickly raised or lowered to regulate 

 depth, and the wheel can be attached cen- 

 trally or at one side of the machine, giv- 

 ing the operator the important advantage 

 of hoeing both sides of the row at one 

 passage when desired. Price, boxed,
