They sow perfectly all garden and small nursery seeds, never clog, drop evenly, cover with perfect regularity, roll down light or heavy, mark the next row, and turn at the ends on the roller without pausing or sowing. The Combined Machine holds one quart; No. 2 holds two quarts, and is very i>erfect and ample in all its pro- portions. The Combined Machine becomes a Wheel Hoe by removinii one bolt. It has two pairs of interchangeable tempered steel hoes, one for delicate work close to the plants, leaving the ground level; the other for throwing heavy furrows to or from the row. At the first tending, the machine works as a double-wheel hoe, afterwards only between the rows. It has a sub-soiler and shovel-plow for deep stirring, for opening di'ills fur Potatoes, Corn, Beans, etc. Onion growers can sow their crop any depth, Avidth or thickness, and do also all the hoeing, with surprising ease, rapidity and perfection. No vegeta- ble garden, however small, should bo without one. No. 3 is invaluable as a fertilizer sower, and for dropjiing large seeds, saving cost in a few days' use.—Gal- vanized, holding a half bushel. The Double Wheel Hoe will do the work of six men with hand hoes, among Market Gard
