Useful Tools for Bulb Planting, Etc. 
B&rr S SpCCl&l Bulb Plsintcr (Regd. 548091), specially designed for planting Daffodils and 
other bulbs in grass. This tool cuts and lifts a clean circular piece of turf which is released from the 
cup when the second hole is made, and lies ready at hand to fill in the holes when the bulbs have been 
put in, it being only necessary to remove a little of the 
soil from the bottom of the sod. A lime must be chosen 
f^ planting when the ground has become softened 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 3^ Ib.s. The 
cup is manufactured from high-class hardened steel and always carries a keen cutting edge.
