THE IRON AGE GARDEN IMPLEHENTS. 



" We want higher wheels." "The tool is too heavJ^" "The castings break too easily." Such ex- 

 pressions coining from users of various wheel hoes, together with our own practical tests, convinced us 

 that however well supplied the market may be with these tools, and though excellent they maybe, there 

 was needed further improvement in this line. Hence the " Iron Age " Wheel Hoes. 



We would call attention to the most salient points of improvement ; 

 very light steel wheels, 16 inches in height ; high arch, capable of work- 

 ing 20-inch plants : tublar frame, coupled to malleable castings, giving 

 extreme lightness with freedom from breakage ; wheels quicklv adjusted 

 in height without entirely removing the axle nuts ; they not only can be 

 placed inside the frame for working in narrow spaces, but an extra axle 

 is sent out with each tool^ making a perfect Single Wheel Hoe. We em- 

 phasize this point strongly, as a 

 single wheel is certainly preferable 

 ia all garden work, with the single 

 exception of working astride the 

 row. The vine lifters are adjustable 

 in height, and without entirely re- 

 moving the confining nut. 



The tool is ftilly equipped with 

 side hoes and plows, finely shaped 

 and polished, while the slender steel 

 cultivator teeth are particularly 

 adapted for thorough and deep cul- 

 tivation, even in very hard soil. A 

 pair of rakes is also included, which 

 do admirable work in various ways, 

 particularly in destroying young 

 weeds, and fining the soil prepara- 

 tory to seed sowing. We do not 

 claim these as a novelty, having IRON AGE 

 been used long since under the ex- 

 pired Comstock patent. 



We wish to strongly emphasize . ^ . , , , ^ . ^ 



the really extraordinary ease with which the " Iron Age " Wheel Hoe is operated, the lightness and con- 

 struction of the tool being such that every ounce of effort goes direct to the work accomplished.

In designing our Seed Drill At- 

 tachment for the Double Wheel Hoe, 

 we have kept in view simplicity or 

 construction, convenience of adjust- 

 ment, and perfection of work. 



The drill attachment is complete 

 in itself, and when put in place re- 

 quires but two bolts to secure it ; the 

 single wheel is then put in position, the chain run 

 on, and the drill is ready for operation. The seed 

 slide and its index adj ustment to sow the various 

 seeds is similar to that used on our well known 

 New Model Seed Drill, while the agitator is simply 

 a revolving brush of selected bristles, which will 

 not injure the seed, wear along time, and can be 

 cheaply replaced. 



The opening plow is adjustable in depth, and 

 also reversible, one end being wide for onion seed, 

 and the other narrow for placing the seed in a 

 close, straight line. In place of a covering roller 

 we use a small steel smoother— doing the work of 

 a roller, with none of its weight and clumsiness. 

 This, together with the coverer, to which it is at- 

 tached, is adjustable to suit various soils and 

 depths of covering. 



The Combined Drill includes all the attach- 

 ments above, and we claim that anyone buying it 

 possesses at once the most complete and perfect 

 tool possible. It is a whole toolhouse in itself. It plows, levels, furrows, sows, covers, rakes, cultivates, 

 hoes and hills, and does each and every operation in the most satisfectory manner.
