PATENT EXCELSIOR WEEDING HOOK. 



The only instrument that can be used to advantage among small and tender 

 plants. This instrument is warranted to give satisfaction when used among iuws or 

 seedlings, among ornamental plants, or in any place where absolute frc edom from 

 weeds is the result desired to be obtained. It removes the weeds with far greater 

 rapidity than the usual manner, without injuring the plants or soiling the hands, 

 and is in all respects the best if not the only instrument ever offered to the publio 

 for this purpose. 



Price. 20 cents; by mail, per doz , $2.25. 

 LANG'S HAND WEEDER. 



The labor of hand weeding Onions, Carrots, and in fact all Vegetable and Flo rer 



•lants is tedious and expensive, and to lessen labor and expense, we offer this We tier as 

 'the best tool for the purpose ever invented. The blade is made of the best 6pr* ug steel, 

 which will hold a sharp edge; it has seven cutting edges, and the blade is so bent that a drawing cut is made, 

 which is easier than a side cut. The handle fits the hand perfectly. Its principle advantage is that of the "Band," 

 or adjustable belt passing over the fingers gives perfect use to the hand to" puiling weeds and thinning oat plants, 

 without laying down the tool. The hand and fingers are as free as though no tool were bemg held. It does not 

 fatigue the hand. With this tool at least one-third more weeding can be done in a day than with any other Weeder. 

 It is neatly and very strongly made. 



Price, 20 cents each; by mail, 25 cents; per dozen, $2.25. 



LITTLE ©EM SEED DRILL. 



This new drill was designed, and has been perfected for 

 Farmers and Small Gardeners, who have long felt the 

 need of a low priced, reliable seed drill. The ' 'Little Gem" 

 will make the drill, drop and cover all the seeds, such as 

 Turnip, Carrot. Sage, Spinach, Onion, Parsnips, Beet, Etc., 

 and make the next row as perfectly as the best twelve 

 dollar drills, and yet it costs only half the price. It is 

 well made by experienced men, and is just the thing for 

 those who plant vegetables for home use, and whose root 

 growing is not extensive enough to warrant them in buy- 

 ing a twelve dollar drill. It weighs only 20 pounds, is a 

 little beauty, and will last many years. Price, $5. Gem 

 Seed Drill and Gem of the Garden Plow, the two machines 

 for only $9 



THE "GEM" OF THE GARDEN. 



HAND WHEEL HOE, CULTIVATOR AND PLOW. 



As lately improved we can offer the above implement to gard- 

 eners with the assurance that it is fully up to the times, and the 

 most effective and convenient tool of the kind introduced. Its 

 working parts are two Scuffle Hoes, one 4V£ and one 9 inches wide; 

 two plows, right and left handed ; five cultivator teeth, all of the 

 best steel. The wheel and handles of the "Gem'' are adjustible 

 in height, while the frame is so slotted that the hoes, teeth and 

 plows can be set in almost any position or angle. The scuffle hoe 

 makes a clean cut, and is followed by teeth— five or less— which 

 'horoughly pulverize the soil, and drag out and expose to the sun 

 the roots of the weeds cut by the hoe. Being of such slender 

 shape, it will not throw dirt enough to cover small plants. The 

 hoes are of thin steel, and present nearly a straight line to the 

 work, and thus avoid the "dodging" so common to tools of this 

 kind. A very large number of these machines have been sold 

 during the past four years, to the greatest satisfaction of buyers. 

 Many have said that they would not do without it for double the 

 1 cost, and will agree that it is by far the cheapest and best article 

 of the kind made. It is always sold with the privilege of return- 

 ing it if not entirely satisfactory. Price, boxed 84.25- 



The above illustration shows, in addition to the complete Single Wheel machine, sold at $5.00, the new Double 

 Wheel attachment and two ex*ri Steel Blades (show at point "A" in the cut), which we furnish with the complete 

 single wheel machine, for $6.25. The double wheel attachment with these extra Steel Blades, are of great service 

 In working both sides of the row among young plants.

 PLOW. 



Make the care of vegetable garden a pleasure, and 10.000 fam- 

 ilies who could not find time to keep a garden, if attempting its 

 culivation with the ordinary hand-hoe, can raise their own vege- 

 tables successfully with the "Fire Fly," and is invaluable dur- 

 ing all the gardening season. 



Price. $2.25.
