New riodel Seed Drill. Prfce, $7.00. 
This Drill has for years been one of the best known and best liked among the market 
gardeners. Its record Is superb and unchallenged. Drills of similiar construction are 
usually provided with a series of holes of varying sizes through which the seed is passed, 
which of coarse does not always give an opening of the exact: size required. The opera- ... , .i.. », 
tor is usually told, in substance, that, "if one hole don't suit, try another." This adjustment In the New 
Model is accomplished in a very simple and effective manner by use of a slide with a pear shaped opciiinc; 
passing under the bottom of seed reservoir, which is provided with a perforation of similar shape, m a 
reversed position. This slide can be instantly adjusted to size indicated by Index, or to a hair's breadth 
variation between, a vital point in a perfect scid drill. This index or indicator is plain convenient and 
^reliable. It is placed in open sight, immedintely under the eye of the operator, and can be quickly adjusted 
f to the slightest variation desired. As the names of the principal seeds are plainly shown on the index 
itself, it is not necessary to refer to any table of reference. "The flow of seed can be instantly stopped by a 
; Bwinginu cut-off, conveniently operated by a cord or ring on the handles. The main wheel is of larger size 
>and of unusual width, preventing its sinking into soft earth. The opening plow is steel and adjustable in. 
depth. Each drill crated and carefully packed for shipment. Packed, weighs about 4.0 pounds. 
The "Iron Age" Single Wheel Hoe, Cultivator, Plow and Rake. Price $4.50. 
This tool is, in regard to the work done, almost a counterpart of the Dovble Wheel Hoe, and the same 
remarks as to its construction, extreme lightness 
and ease of operation will apply with equal force. 
In addition, its lower price, less weight and in- 
creased steadiness given by a single wheel make 
strong arguments in favor of this tool. For the 
small kitchen garden we consider the single wheel 
hoe, with these points of merit, as being especially 
valuable. The work is done principally between the 
rows, although plants of small growth can be hoed 
on both sides at once bv placing the wheel on the 
left side. With this single wheel tool, spaces of 
exceedingly narrow width can be worked even using 
but one cultivator tooth. With the large plow 
attachment, deep furrows can be opened or closed; . - , tr„. <^.,i.!_.t.^,
