 Jr." Catalogue, fully illustrating and describing the different sorts of work accomplished, free on application 



The " Planet Jr." No. 2 Seed Drill. 



This Standard Drill holds two and a half quarts. It sows all garden seeds accurately any desired thickness or depth. It 

 opens drops, covers and rolls down and marks the next row, all at one passage, in the most perfect and reliable manner, its 

 construction is simple; it has neither cogs, cams, springs, brushes, levers, chains, belts nor shakers to wear out, run hard or 

 get out of order, nor are its stirring devices in any way dangerous to the vitality of seeds. The seed hopper revolves with the 

 wheels having in its center a spring brass drum, with twelve discharge openings, easily regulated all at one time to the P r0 P« r 

 size Each of these is covered by a bucket or shield in such a manner as to cause the drill to sow a single tnimoleiui ot nne 

 seed with regularity for the distance of a hundred feet, yet it will sow five pounds of seed with the same P erfe ^- 

 tion The continual revolution of this hopper keeps the seed in a most perfect and loose condition, and makes the .. ^sg^ 

 sowing of such difficult seeds as Carrot, Parsnip, Beet, Salsify, etc., easy and satisfactory. The machine operates ^SsSg 

 without noise, and the opening, covering and rolling down are automatic and perfect. The plow is directly between t 

 the wheels, and therefore opens the furrow at a perfectly regular depth, and the covering is also for the same i^ 

 reasons very accurate Seeds can be put in one-eighth or one-quarter of an inch deep with entire regularity, an =» 

 important point in the sowing of delicate varieties. The roller can be used to roll light or heavy, or entirely re- 

 moved The seed index has upon it the names of the principal seeds, and the discharge openings can be set ma p 

 moment. The combination of the necessary good points is so complete that we can assure our customers that it 

 will give them every satisfaction. Our Net Cash Price, $7.50. (last Price, S9.00.) 



"Planet Jr." Double J| 



Wheel Hoe, 



Cultivator, Rake and Plow - 



Combined. 



This exceedingly useful and popular tool has this season the extensive outfit shown in cut Fig. 2. All the blades are sleel, 

 hardened in oil, tempered and polished. The tool is especially adapted to save the labor of the Market Gardener, Onion Grower, 

 Nurseryman and Root Grower. The changes from one form to another are easily and quickly made, and changes in depth or 

 width also. The tool is light and strong, can be used by man or boy, and in much of the most tedious and particular work it does 

 as much as six to ten men with the common hand hoe and with half the labor. You can hoe or plow to or from, cultivate, rake, 

 etc., deep or shallow, safely when plants are just coming through the ground, and until they are fifteen inches high, and all the time 

 both sides at once or between the rows, at the speed of a moderate walk. The BAKES (Fig. 4) level and fine the ground for 

 planting, gather stories and trash, cultivate plants when small, cover seeds, etc. The HOES (Fig. 5) cut close and clean, killing 

 everything they meet, leaving the ground nearly level. The CULTIVATOR teeth mellow the soil deep or shallow, and are 

 useful for making out rows for plants, seeds, sets, etc. The PLOWS (Fig. 3) lay out deep furrows and cover them and hill- 

 up or plow away, as desired. The LEAF GUARDS in front are just the thing needed when hoeing large plants, such 



as Beets, Carrots, Parsnips, Beans and Peas, enabling you to cultivate them per- 

 fectly, when otherwise the leaves would be torn off and the plant seriously 

 injured. They are detachable. Our Net Cash Price, S7.00. (List

 pair of long curved point hoes. This tool has the same adjustment of hoes am', 

 wheel as the above, and any or all of the other attachments may be added to this 

 at any time, and will be found to fit. Our Net Cash Price, 84.00. (List

ength, easy running, simple combinations and variety of attachments are striking features of this favorite for the 



of 1890. The full equipment isshown in the cut. All the blades are steel, hardened in oil, tempered and polished. 



wheel has an extra broad face, and is readily raised and lowered, and can be attached at one side of the frame so 



atone can cultivate both sides of a row of small plants at one passage. As with the DoubleWheel Hoe, the 



Rakes level the ground, gather trash, cultivate, etc. ; the curved Hoes work closely and safely, deep or shallow, 



while the Plow opens furrows, covers and plows, to and from, as desired; the Cultivator blades, work 



admirably, especially in deep work, and also mark out rows for garden crops, while the Leaf Guard 



is invaluable for work among large plants. All rows from six to eighteen inches apart can be perfectly 



hoed at one passage, and this tool, though not as well adapted to large fields of garden crops as the 



Double, is still a great favorite with many for that class of work. For the home vegetable garden its 



work is exactly what is needed foi the easy cultivation of crops without the aid of a horse. Its lightness, 



strength and simplicity recommend it to all who examine it. Our Net Cash Price, 83.50.
