TOOLS AND IMPLEMENTS.
To reduce the cost of gardening it is necessary to have the best tools. A good wheel hoe is as much superior to a common hoe for cuitivating [cultivating] a garden as a mowing machine is to the sickle in the hay field. All of the following tools have been thoroughly tested, and for their own particular class of work, have given splendid satisfaction. Notice reduced prices. If you desire it we will send illustrated circular describing any of the tools in which you are interested.
MATTHEWS' NEW UNIVERSAL CONSTELLATION DRILL.--The latest improved, and we are convinced that this new tool is one of the best. For many years we used the Matthews' Seed Drill on our farm and this is improved in many ways. It sows perfectly all kinds of seeds at any depth with mechanical precision, covering and rolling it down in the most approved manner; has a very complete set of cultivating attachments consisting of plows, hoes, rakes and cultivator teeth as shown in cut. Can be used either with one or two wheels and the seeding apparatus is detachable and interchangeable with the cultivator tools. Price only $8.00.

PLANET JR. NO. 12, DOUBLE WHEEL HOE.--This most practical tool is made for gardeners.

It opens the furrows, drops in hills or drills, covers, rolls down and marks the next row, all at one operation.

It combines in a single convenient implement a first-class hill dropping seeder, a perfect drill seeder, a single wheel hoe, a cultivator, and a plow. It holds two quarts and as a seeder it sows in continuous rows, or drops in hills 6, 9, 12, 18 or 36 inches apart. It is thrown out of gear by simply raising the handles. The index is accurate, simple and easily set. The drill is detached and the tool frame substituted by removing but one bolt. It then becomes a single wheel hoe, garden plow or cultivator.

PLANET. JR. NO. 8, HORSE HOE.--Probably no other cultivating machine is so widely known as the "Planet Jr." Combined Horse Hoe and Cultivator, for it is in use throughout the civilized world.

The depth is under perfect coutrol [control] by a new lever wheel and patent depth regulator, moved instantly in unison by a single lever, making exact work, steadying the machine and relieving the operator.

Price $8.50.
MOORE'S GARDENER.--A new tool which proved very satisfactory last year. It is a two-wheeled cultivator with very high wheels so fastened to frame that it is very easy to operate. Handles are instantly adjusted so as to be suitable for man or boy. It is reversible so that you can change it from a wheel hoe to a cultivator with moving a single bolt.

We know and will guarantee it to be the best harrow on the market. The recurved throat and high frame prevent clogging, and the reverse position is given to the teeth in a very short time by changing a single bolt in each. It is provided with a pulverizer which leaves the ground in fine condition. Price $8.50 or without the pulverizer $6.90.
