EVERETT & GLEASON’S 
NOYES’ HAND WEEDER. 
This is one of the best implements ever invented 
for assisting where hand weeding is required — light, 
safe, and remarkably easy to use. Two patterns are 
manufactured ; one diamond-shaped, with pointed end, 
the other with a square end for working in very narrow 
rows, where the height of the plant necessitates a drawing stroke. 
Price, 35 cents each. Per dozen, $3.50. 
EXCELSIOR WEEDER. 
A very useful implement for eradicating weeds when 
first starting into growth, but more especially useful (in 
our experience) for loosening the soil in borders and beds 
where a larger tool could not be used. 
Price, 25 Cents. 
FIRE-FLY HAND PLOW. 
This is another extremely useful little 
implement. Every person having a gar- 
den to care for ( paticularly those too small 
to admit of horse culture ), should own one. 
The moldboard is made of steel, wearing 
bright and clean, and makes as perfect work 
for its size as an ordinary plow. With it 
ground can be wholly and thoroughly turned 
over, or furrows for planting made, and for 
after weeding it can be most successfully 
used, turning the furrows outward at one 
time and inward the next, and so on. Hav- 
ing thoroughly tested one ourselves, we are 
free to say that the quality of the work done 
by this little tool is surprising. 
Price, $4.00. 
RUHLMAN’S HAND CULTIVATOR. 
Note. — A . The cast-steel 
Knife, corrugated so as to be set 
at any angle required. C. Thumb- 
screw to raise or lower the handle. 
D. Ridged brace for supporting 
and regulating the handles. E. 
Thumb-screw for regulating blade 
shanks. 
This Hoe, or Cultivator, is 
a most valuable addition to Gar- 
den Implements, and without 
doubt the best Garden Weeder 
in use. It is especially adapted 
to the culture of all garden crops 
that require careful hand culti- 
Eng. /if. vation, and particularly for gar- 
dens where horse culture cannot be allowed. It is easily regulated by set screws as to 
the depth of cutting, the pitch of the knife blades, and height of handles. It is easily 
worked, and does its work with a thoroughness that will satisfy all who try it. 
The frame and wheel are made of the best cast iron. The knives are the best cast steel. 
They can be set to work ^ to 16 inches in width. They cut the weeds only on the inside of 
the knife, so that any person can walk along within an inch of, and without injury to, the 
smallest or tenderest plant, which no other Cultivator can do. It will do the work of six 
men with common hoes. Reports from those who have given it a trial run in this manner : 
“It is a promising tool.” “ It is the best Hoe I ever used.” “This is the best Hoe in 
use.” “ It will pay for itself in one day.” We have no doubt that such will be the universal 
opinion of all wno try it. Price, $5.50.
