ALLEN'S PATENT CYLINDER PLOW 
This Plow derives Its name from the form of the mold board, which is a segment of a perfect cylinder, with its ends cut 
In the style of ordinary mold boards. Its lines are thus always horizontal to the surface of the land, and consequently turn 
the furrow slice with the same uniformity as a wheel on its axle, and with the least possible friction. The friction is still 
further reduoed, by the peculiar arrangement of the points or shakes, and land side, which, combined with its other 
improvements, reduces the draft from one-fourth to one-third less than that required by the best class of plows now 
in general use. For lightness of draft, simplicity of construction, case of holding, and certainty of turning all soils of 
any required depth and width, it far surpasses any other plow. 
Price of No. 0, is $7.00; No. 1, is $9.00; No. 2, is $10; No. S is $12; with one extra polished share for each plow. Price, ex- 
tra, of Skim or Front Plow, $1.50; "Wrought Side Coulter and Clamp, $1,25; Wheel, $1.00. 
All the above Plows are polished, strong, and highly finished, and are warranted to give entire satisfaction when prop- 
erly managed. Polished Steel Plows can be furnished of each of the above sizes. 
Also every style of the latest improved PLOWS, HARROWS, CULTIVATORS, and a full assortment of AGRICUL- 
TURAL and HORTICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS; FIELD and GARDEN SEEDS; PERUVIAN and MANIPULATED 
GUANO; SUPERPHOSPHATE, guaranteed to be the best in the market, and perfectly reliable; Poudrette; Plaster of
