“GEM OF THE GARDEN’’ 
HAND WHEEL HOE AND CULTIVATOR. Z 
This implement is offered to gardeners and others with the assurance 
that it is the most effective and convenient tool of the kind yet invented. 
Its working parts are: two Scuffle or Cutting Blades, one 44% and one 9 inches Zo 
wide; two Plows, right and left hand; five Stirring Teeth; all made of best steel. 
The wheels and handles of the ‘‘GEM”’ are both adjustable in height, while the frame is so slotted that the hoes, teeth and 
plows can be set in almost any position orangle. The Scuffle hoe makes a clean cut and is followed by the teeth—five or less 
—which thoroughly pulverize the soil, and drag out and expose to the sun the roots of the weeds cut by the hoe. In use, keep 
the tooth on the right, quite as far out as the end of the hoe, using it as a guard; being of such slender shape it will not throw 
dirt enough to cover small plants. The hoes of thin steel, and presenting nearly a straight line to the work, avoid the ‘* dodg- 
ing” so common to tools of this kind. 
Price, boxed and delivered at Depot or Express Office in Detroit, Mich., $4.50. Double Wheel Attachment 
tor “ Gem of the Garden,” consisting of One Pair of Wheels and One Pair of Curved Hoes, $1.75 extra.

MATTHEWS’ GARDEN SEED DRILL. 
We know of uo hand Garden Drill for sowing vegetable seeds, etc., which has met with more popularity than the 
Matthews Garden Seed Drill among market gardeners every where. 
It is designed for use im field and garden. When in operation it opens the furrow, drops the seed accurately 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, Car- 
rot, Onion, Turnip, Parsnip, Sage, Spinage, Sorghum, Peas, Beans, Fodder Corn, Broom Corn, etc., with a certainty, regu- 
larity and rapidity, impossible for the most skillful hand. 
A valuable feature in this Drill is its patent InpicaTor, with names of different seeds on it for adjusting the Drill to sow 
different kinds of seed, which 1s done by simply turning the Indicator until the name of the seed you want to sow comes to 
the top. The Drill is made of the best material throughout, and is complete in all its arrangements. Beware of cheap imi- 
tations of this Drill. None genuine but those having the Patent Indicator. All Drills are now furnished with the new 
A Seed Cut-off, so no seed is wasted in turning at ends of rows, and with im- 
proved markers.
