GARDEN SEED DRILLS AND CULTIVATORS. 
MATTHEWS’ GARDEN SEED DRILL. Wc know of no hand 
Garden Drill, for sowing vegetable seeds, etc , which has met with more popularity than the 
Matthews’ Garden Seed Drill among market gardeners everywhere. 
It is designed for use in field and garden. When in operation it opens the furrow, drops the 
seed accurately at the desired depth, covers it, and lightly rolls 
the earth down over it, and at the same time marks the next row. 
It will sow Beet , Carroty Oniotiy Turnip, Parsnip, Sage, Spillage, 
Sorghuuiy Peas, Beans , Fodder Corn, Broom Corn , etc. , with a 
certainty, regularity and rapidity, impossible for the most skillful 
hand. 
A valuable feature in this Drill is its patent Indicator, with 
names of different seeds on it, for adjusting the Drill to sow 
different kinds of seed, which is done by simply turning the Indi¬ 
cator until the name of the seed you want to sow comes to the top. 
No other drill is furnished with this ingenious device. 
The drill is made of the best material throughout and is com¬ 
plete in all its arrangements. Price, boxed and delivered at Depot or Express Office, $10.00.

its greatest extent. The depth of the cultivation may be accurately gauged by raising or lowering the wheel, which 
is quickly done. Price, boxed and delivered at Depot or Express Office, $5.00.

GEM OF THE GHRDEN 
HAND WHEEL HOE AND CULTIVATOR. 
This implement is offered to gardeners and others with the assurance 
that it is the most effective and convenient tool of the kind yet invented. 
Its working parts are: two Scuffle or Cutting Blades, one 4 x / 2 and one 9 
inches wide; two Plows, right and left hand; five Stirring Teeth; all made 
of best steel. 
The wheels and handles of the “GEM” are both adjust¬ 
able in height, while the frame is so slotted that the hoes, 
teeth and plows can be set in almost any position or angle. 
The Scuffle hoe makes a clean cut and is followed by the 
teeth—five or less — which thoroughly pulverize the soil, and 
drag out and expose to the sun the roots of the weeds cut by 
the hoe. In use, keep the tooth on the right, quite as far out 
as the end of the hoe, using it as a guard; being of such 
slender shape it will not throw dirt enough to cover small 
plants. The hoes, of thin steel, and presenting nearly a 
straight line to the work, avoid the “dodging” so common to tools of this kind. Price, boxed and delivered 
at Depot or Express Office, $5.00.
