USEFUL TOOLS FOR BULB PLANTING, Etc. 
Barr’s Special Bulb Planter (Regd. 368338), specially designed for planting Daffodils, 
etc., in grass. At every operation it lifts a clean circular little sod of grass whicu is released frona 
the cup when the second hole is made, and lies ready at hand to fill in the holes wlien the bulbs have 
■“ been put in. A time must be chosen for planting when 
the ground has become sof tened after early autumn rains 
and not when in a hard and baked condition, as it is then 
impossible to use this or indeed any other tool with 
success. By the use of Barr’s Special Bulb Planter 
a large quantity of bulbs may be planted in a very 
short time, and without the least disturbance of the 
sward. The length of the tool is 38 inches over all, weight about 3J lbs. The cup is manufactured 
from high-class hardened steel and always carries a keen cutting edge. 
Supplied in 3 sizes of cup : — To cut out a circular hole 2 inches diameter. "I
