WE HAVE MADE 
For the season of ’79 a new combination of Garden tools ; 
one so useful that every reader of the American Agricultur¬ 
ist who has a vegetable garden should own it. The four en¬ 
gravings show a portion of the combinations. As a Drill, 
it Is capable of sowing the whole list of Garden Seeds, being 
furuished with an adjustable opening plow, patent dropping 
and covering devices, and a marker and roller. As a Double 
Wheel Hoe it has no equal; it hoes close and thoroughly (lie 
smallest plants; the hoes are reversible and exchangeable. 
Asa Wheel Cultivator one can do as much with it as six with 
hand hoes, in addition to these useful combinations, the 
tool is provided with an elegant polished steel plow, an ever 
useful assistant In the Garden from early Spring till Fall. 
We know this combination to be the most valuable that has 
ever been offered to the Gardener. The price is but little 
more than tiiat of an ordinary seed drill, yet the additional 
combinations are many times more useful than the drill 
alone; and we want every reader of the Agriculturist who ^ 
has a garden to send for our full descriptive catalogue and S 
testimonials and judge for himself. It is free to all. '

Marblehead Mammoth Cabbage 
There being a good deal of seed in the market raised from 
-ght strain of seed under proper 
cultivation, has been grown to weigh over 60 pounds to a 
single plant, and sixty tons to the acre, I now offer to the 
public seed that has been raised by myself, with peculiar 
care, all of it from extra large, extra solid heads. The 
Marblehead Mammoth is not only the largest, but is one of 
the most crisp and sweetest of all varieties of the cabbage 
family, as will be seen by extracts of letters to be found In 
my Seed Catalogue, where my customers state that they 
have raised cabbages from my seed that have weighed 40, 
45, and 50 pounds each. Full instructions for cultivation 
sent with every parcel of seed. Seed per pound, $5.00; per 
ounce, 50 cts.; per y, ounce, 2r> cts. My large Seed Catalogue 
sent free to all applicants. My very thorough treatise on 
Cabbage Raising, 80 cts.
