IMPLEMENTS 



For the planting of corn, beans and other seeds 

 of the larger class, and for use on rough or stony 

 land, the need is met by such machines as the 

 Billings's, Albany, or Eclipse. All these are to be 

 run with a horse; and are supplied with fertilizing 

 attachments for depositing, properly distributed, 

 any requisite amount of dry fertilizing powder at 

 the same time as the seed. 



Each year competition in market gardening and 

 root-growing makes garden seed-drills more neces- 

 sary. With their assistance, seed-sowing can be 

 done with so much greater regularity, rapidity, and 

 ease, and with such large saving of seed as well, 

 that the planting of a very small acreage is suffi- 

 cient to warrant the purchase of a tool which is 

 now made so reliable, simple, and inexpensive. 



The Planet, Jr., combined drill, wheel hoe, 

 cultivator, rake and plough was in its primary form 

 a seed-sower; and has been made adaptable to 

 many of the various subsequent operations requisite 

 in vegetable culture by various ingenious cultiva- 

 ting attachments. The change from a seed-drill 

 to a wheel hoe can be made in a few moments by 

 taking out two bolts, and putting on the hoes. 



These can be safely set to cut within an inch of
