New "Deere" Planter and Check Rower. 



It has all the desirable improvements in planting machinery: A quick, positive Second Drop, an Open 

 Heel, an adjustable Tongue, Adjustable Droppers, Driver's Seat, an Iron Seat Bow, a Center Spring I^ever 

 operated entirely by hand or foot, which, with a Hinged Frame, gives all the advantages of both the slide 

 and the flexible frame machines. 



The standard width of the "Deere" is 3 feet 8 inches. 



The ''Deere" Check Rower (as shown in above cut) is made for the "Deere" Planter only, making it 

 in fact a Combined Machine, with the advantage that the Check Rower can be easily and quickly taken 

 off when desired, for convenience in storage and shipping. 



It is made entirely of iron, and is attached solidly to the frame of the Planter through holes bored 

 for the purpose, and each Check Rower is fitted and attached to the Planter before they leave the shop. 

 This avoids all danger of mistakes in attaching or operating the machine. 



The wire is of the best annealed steel, with abutton at every joint, and a perfect joint at every button 

 The reel-stand fastens to the top of the Planter, where the driver can, with his foot, control the operation 

 of laying out the wire, and in such shape that one man can easily take up the wire without assistance. 



To be a desirable tool, a Corn Planter must be adapted to plant corn in any kind of soil and in any 

 manner. The usual way of planting corn is in hills, so it can be plowed each way. 



Many, however, claim that by drilling in rows one way and putting one kernel in a place, more corn 

 can be raised than by putting in three or four kernels in a hill, three or four feet apart, which is doubt- 

 less true on strong, clear ground, with careful tillage. 



To accommodate the demand for such planting, we make a Drill Attachment, which, with ordinary 

 sized, even seed, plants one kernel in a place, ten, fifteen or twenty inches apart. This attachment is 

 also used for drilling Broom Corn, Sorghum and Ensilage, and has been used for drilling Beans, Peas, 

 Beets and similar seeds. 



i 



It is sold as a hand-drop Planter, a drill Planter, a wire Check Power Planter, or a full Combined 

 Planter, and is complete in either form.
