HAND WHEEL HOE AND COLTIUflTOR. 



Price, boxed and delivered at Depot or Express Office in Detroit, 

 Mich., $4.50. Double Wheel Attachment for "Gem of the Garden," 

 consisting of One Pair of Wheels and One Pair of Curved Hoes, 

 $1.75 extra. 



This implement is one of the most effective and convenient tools of 

 the kind. Its working parts are: two Scuffle or Cutting Blades, one four 

 and one-half and one nine inches wide; two Plows, right and left hand; 

 five Stirring Teeth; all made of best steel. 



This prepared cloth 

 for covering cold 

 frames is being ex- 

 tensively used by our most successful gardeners as a substitute for glass. 

 It has some decided advantages over the latter, in that the beds are more easily managed, as the plants will not be 

 burned by the hot sun shining through the glass, and at the same time receiving an abundance of light and air enough to make 

 them hardier than plants grown under glass. The cloth should be tacked on a light frame to be placed over the bed in the 

 same manner as a sash.

In offering this tool we are confident from our experience with it that it is a very superior tool for use in the garden 

 among onions, turnips, corn, potatoes, strawberries, etc., and for weeding among flowers and in gravel walks. It is light, 

 weighing but 7 lbs.; strong, made of the best steel and iron; adjustable to any height of person, and cutting from one-half 

 inch to one and one-half inches under ground and seven inches wide.

 weeds is desired. It removes the weeds with far greater rapidity than in the usual manner, without injury to the plants, and 

 will pay for itself in o ne day's use.

THE CONCAVE AND CURVED SEED POTATO KNIFE. 



Price, postpaid, 

 35 cents. 



Cut with a thin straight knife a slice lengthways about % inch thick from the center of the potato and hold it between 

 you and the light. Feeders from the eyes will be seen converging to the center of the tuber. 



If these feeders are interfered with, either by cutting them off or shaving too close to them, the vitality will be greatly 

 reduced. It is evidently desirable, then, in cutting potatoes for seed, to conform to the structure of the tuber. With the 

 common straight knife this is impossible. The Concave and Curved Seed Potato Knife meets these requirements fully. It 

 will cut two or .three eyes in a piece better than any other kni-fe and will cut two single eyes without coming in contact with 

 feeders, leaving the pieces in good shape to handle either by hand or with machine. 



The great superiority of this knife lies not so much in the saving of seed as in the increase in yield, for it is a recognized 

 fact that potatoes cut to single eyes and planted in drills will produce the largest crop, and this is the only knife that will cut 

 them to single eyes without injuring the vitality. Full directions for using accompany each knife. 



Sets of four pieces, price per set, $1.25, 

 postpaid. 



These Floral Sets have steadily increased in public favor and have received, we believe, the unqualified approval of all 

 the leading florists of the country. They will be appreciated by every lady who cultivates flowers.

Price, postpaid, 60c. This sprinkler can be used on hillside or terrace and is warranted to accomplish as much as 

 any in the market at the same pressure. Its superiority is shown by its simplicity, ease with which it can be 

 cleared of any obstruction, effectiveness while working in a strong wind; also the circle watered can be reduced to any 

 desired size, by turning the supply partly off. In connection with a force pump it can be used with good effect in green 

 houses, hot beds, etc. The bearings and working parts are of brass, and it is complete in itself; it has only to be screwed to 

 the hose and the pin stuck into the ground to be used.
