What is claimed is:
1. A lawn and garden implement comprising an enlongated hollow tubular handle having first and second opposite open ends, a furrowing tool fixed onto said first open end shaped to define a concavely curved trough portion extending outwardly from said first end and terminating in a generally planiform toe flange inclined to the longitudinal axis of the handle and shaped to a predetermined furrow contour to form a furrow in the soil when the implement is drawn over the soil with said first end down and the handle disposed in a first inclined position locating the toe flange in downwardly extending generally vertical relation from the handle axis, the concavely curved trough having an open throat portion communicating with the bore of the hollow handle at said first end whereby the trough portion may be disposed in upwardly facing inclined relation to receive seeds and guide them into the hollow tubular handle for gravitational movement therethrough and discharge into a furrow in the soil from said second end when the implement is in predetermined second inclined position with said second end down, and the length of said handle being such as to enable the user to manipulate the furrowing toe flange in the soil from a standing position.
