How it Operates— 
A small pear-shaped opening at the bottom of the 
seed-holder is regulated by a spring, exposing the 
point of opening only for the finest seeds. This open¬ 
ing can be correspondingly enlarged according to the 
size of the seeds to be sown. 
The seed-sower is held in the left hand with the 
feeder-tube extending over the back of the hand. 
A light tapping with the second linger of the right 
hand on the end of the second linger of the left 
gently impells the seed through the tube in regular 
order. tSee illustration.) 
One Week Later— Here the plants are coming 
up. Each Separate—No waste of seed—No waste of 
time or plants.

Unapproachable in Simplicity of Operation , 
Economy of Time , and Assured Results 
T HE professional gardener and even more so the amateur has long felt the need of an in¬ 
strument to enable him to sow the finest seeds—with the same precision and assurance 
of success as the larger ones. 
The new Schling Seed-Sower does this! It appeals to the flower-lover first, perhaps,because 
of its surprisingly low cost, but once tried, its ease and precision of operation, saving of time, 
seeds and plants make it indispensable, for it drops the seeds with such accuracy that perfect 
development of each plant is assured and the trouble of transplanting is minimized. 
Here is a perfect device—created for you bv one of the most eminent gardeners and flor¬ 
ists in the country at heavy expense and years of patient experiments—ready to do for you 
what has never been possible before. 
Its value to you is tremendous—The success of your garden depends on it.

Let us emphasize once more its truly marvelous simplicity! There are no gears or delicate mechanism to 
wear and get out of order; it operates at a touch; is made of practically unbreakable material, and is small 
enough to carry around in your coat pocket. A careful elimination of unnecessary manufacturing costs and 
production based on quantity makes possible this remarkable value. 
Just a suggestion—when ordering one for your own use, why not one or more as welcome gifts—to 
your friends.
