"PLANET JR.," NO. 1. 



COMBINED DRILL SEEDER AND WHEEL HOE, CULTIVA- 

 TOR AND PLOW, Priee, $10.00. 



This has long been the most popular combined tool made. 

 From a drill it is changed to its other uses by remo\ing two bolts, 

 when hoes, etc., can be quickly attached. It is an excellent seed 

 sower, a first class double or single wheel hoe, an excellent fur- 

 rower, an admirable wheel cultivator, and a rapid and efficient 

 garden plow. It is a practical, every-day time and labor saver, and 

 a grand remedy for backache. 



A pair of 6-tooth rakes suppUed when specially ordered. 

 Price, ;50. 



NO. 17 SINGLE WHEEL HOE, CULTIVATOR AND 

 PLOW. Price, $5.25. 



This single wheel hoe has a pair of (3-inch hoes, a plow, and a 

 set of cultivator teeth, — an outfit sufficient for most garden work. 

 It has 11-inch wheel, with broad face, is very hght, strong, and 

 easy running. It has adjustable handles and quick-change frame. 

 The frame changes in height, and the wheel may be attached to the 

 other side of the frame, when both sides of the row may be hoed at 

 one passage. 



NO. 12 DOUBLE WHEEL HOE, CULTIVATOR AND 

 PLOW. Price, $7.35. 

 This perfected wheel hoe is invaluable for use in all small crops. 

 Its variety of work is almost iucreiUble. Changes and adjustments 

 of the tools are made with the greatest quickness. It has 11-inch 

 wheels which can be set at four diiFerent distances aj^art ; the frame 

 is malleable, with ample room for tool adjustment and can be set 

 tliree different heights. The handles are adja-^table at any height, 

 and, being attached to the arch, are undisturbed in making changes 

 of adjustment in frame, wheels, or tools. The arch is of stiff steel, 

 miiLsually high; the quick change frame permits the tools to be 

 changed without remo\-ing the nuts. All the blades are of tem- 

 pered and polished steel. 



NEW UNIVERSAL HAND WHEEL PLOW. Price, $2.40. 



This little labor-saving implement is one that commends itself 

 to all gardeners. It can lie used to prepare the ground, to furrov.- 

 out, to cover, and to cultivate. Tiie mould-board is of steel, pol- 

 ished and tempered. The Hand Plow is also a very useful imple- 

 ment for the poultry raiser for loosening up the rmis or yards. 



THE NEW MODEL SEED DRILL. Price, $7.75. 



Tiie diamond shaped ailjustable hole regulates the discharge, 

 and can be made larger or smaller, as occasion requires. No other 

 driU has this advantage. The seed cut-off claps up underneath the 

 hole. It does not shde under the same as in other similar drills ; on 

 this account it does not clog nor cut the seed. It has a broad 

 wheel and a covering roller. The oi^ening plow is adjustable in 

 depth. The whole make-up of the drill is simple. It can be 

 worked by any one.
