SUCCESS IN MARKET GARDENING 



of in preceding pages. A larger use than is ordi- 

 narily made of this very important implement is to 

 be recommended. 



Next in order of usefulness comes the CULTI- 

 VATOR. After the land has been plowed, subsoiled, 

 harrowed, rolled and planted, this serviceable 

 implement is called into requisition. It executes 

 with thoroughness, dispatch and economy, a large 

 amount of work that used to be laboriously per- 

 formed with hand-hoes. Many varieties are 

 offered to choose from, and the choice I recom- 

 mend may not accord with every one's individual 

 opinion, but I consider the Planet, Jr., on the 

 whole the best I have ever seen; principally be- 

 cause it can be put into so many different shapes by 

 varying the combination of its parts, and thus 

 so many different kinds of work can be done with 

 it. The illustrated catalogue of the makers very 

 fully describes its construction, with all its most 

 recent improvements and additional features; and 

 explains the many transformations of which it 

 is capable by interchange and substitution 

 among its different parts, each having special 

 adaptations, and showing great fertility of 

 mechanical contrivance.
