Title: Seed spreader

Abstract: A hand held seed dispenser has a generally cylindrical shaped receptacle portion having a bottom wall in which is formed an outlet opening. An agitator blade is mounted within the receptacle and connected to a closure plate which is pivotably mounted below the bottom wall and has a dispenser opening in it. Pivoting oscillation of the closure plate simultaneously moves the agitator blade and the dispenser hole past the outlet opening to discharge seeds or the like from the dispenser. A selector plate having differently sized holes in it is independently pivotably mounted between the bottom wall and closure plate to align a selected control opening with the outlet opening to accommodate different sizes of seeds or the like.
