nflTTHEWS' QdRDEN SEED DRILLS AMD CULTIVATORS. 



MATTHEWS' GARDEN 



We know of no hand Gar- 

 den Drill for sowing vege- 

 table seeds, etc., which has 

 met with more popularity 

 than the Matthews Garden 

 Seed Drill among market 

 gardeners everywhere. 



It is designed for use in 

 field and garden. When in 

 operation it opens the furrow, drops the seed ac- 

 curately at the desired depth, covers it and lightly 

 rolls the earth down over it, and at the same time 

 marks the next row. It will sow Beet, Carrot, 

 Onion, Turnip. Parsnip, Sage, Spinage, Sorghum. 

 Peas, Beans, Fodder, Corn, Broom Corn, etc., with 

 a certainty, regularity and rapidity, impossible for 

 the most skilful hand. 



A valuable feature in this Drill is its patent 

 Indicator, with names of different seeds on it, for 

 adjusting the Drill to sow different kinds of seed, 

 which is done by simply turning the Indicator until 

 the name of the seed you want to sow comes to the 

 top. No other drill is furnished with this ingenious 

 device. The Drill is made of the best material 

 throughout, and is complete in all its arrangements. 

 Beware of cheap imitations of this Drill. None 

 genuine but those having the Patent Indicator. All 

 drills are now furnished with the new Seed Cut-off. 

 so no seed is wasted in turning at ends of rows, and 

 with imprbved markers. 

 Price, boxed and delivered at Depot or Express Office in Detroit, Mich., $8.00. 





MATTHEWS' IMPROVED HAND CUETIVATOR. 



The Matthews Hand Cultivator has been greatly improved. It is now made 

 with a larger wheel, and with a larger flange to it. It is also provided with a 

 new set of teeth of an improved pattern, having Steel Blades of the best 

 quality, and as now constructed is greatly superior to what it was before, and 

 perfectly adapted for use in any kind of soil. 



It is thoroughly constructed throughout, very durable and easy to operate. 

 A boy can do as much with it as six men with hoes. It spreads from six to 

 fourteen inches, and will cut all the ground covered, even when spread to its 

 greatest extent. The depth of the cultivation may be accurately gauged by 

 raising or lowering the wheel, which is quickly done.
