In improving this tool care has been taken to combine extreme lightness, 

 strength, variety of tools, and great adjustability. It has one pair of long hoes, 

 apair of Rakes, a pair of four-inch sweeps, one broad cultivating tooth, a steel garden plow, and one detachable leaf guard. 

 All the blades are tempered and polished steel. This tool is pronounced by practical men as without an equal in beauty of 

 design and finish, ease 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 Hoe known. 



The form of the blades has proved superior to all other shapes, insuring a forward slanting cut next to the plants and conse- 

 quent close work without danger, and at the same time thorough cultivation of the soil. The cultivator teeth, in combina- 

 tion with the hoes, enable the operator to perform almost every variety of work, either in the field or garden. All rows, from 

 six to eighteen inches apart, can be perfectly hoed at one jiassage. The frame allows every desirable adjustment, is quickly 

 raised or lowered to regulate depth, and the wheel can be attached centrally or to either side of the machine, giving the 

 operator the important advantage of hoeing both sides of the row at one passage when desired.
