This is designed to be used in either field or gar¬

the seed accurately at the desired depth, covers it 
and lightly rolls it, and at the same time marks the 
next row, all of which is done with mechanical pre¬ 
cision, by simply propelling the machine forward. 
In this way it sows, with an evenness and ra¬ 
pidity impossible for the most skillful hand to do, 
all the different varieties of Beet, Carrot, Onion, 
Turnip, Parsnip, Sage, Spinach, Sorghum, Peas, 
Beans, Broom Corn, Fodder Corn, etc . Price $18.00.
