USEFUL TOOLS FOR BULB PLANTING, Etc. 
Barr S Special Bulb Planter (Regd. 368338) 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 time must be 
chosen for planting when the ground has become soft- 
ened 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 
liARR s SfEClAL 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 
32 ihs. 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 1
