COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL 



GEM SEED DRILL 



This is an excellent low-priced reliable Seed Drill 

 "The Little Gem" will make the drill drop and cover 

 all seeds, such as TURNIP, CARROT, SAGE, SPIN- 

 ACH, ONIONS, PARSNIPS, BEET, etc., and mark the 

 next row as perfectly as .the best ten dollar drill, 

 and yet it does not cost half the price. It has proved 

 a "decided hit" for those who plant vegetables for 

 home use, and whose root-giowing is not extensive 

 enough to warrant thsm in buying a large drill. It 

 weighs only twenty pounds, is a little beauty, and 

 will last many years.
