HAND WHEEL HOE AND CULTIVATOR 
Price, $4.50. Doubie 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 the best steel. 
THE CONCAVE anD CURVED SEED POTATO KNIFE. 
Price, 35 cents, postpaid. 
Cut with a thin straight knife a slice lengthways about ig 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 knife and will cut two single eyes without coming in contact with

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 
SS them to single eyes without in- 
juring the vitality. Full direc-

This prepared cloth for covering cold frames 
is being extensively used by our mostsuccessful 
* cardenersas a substitutefor glass. It hassome 
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.
