"PLANET JR." FARM AND GARDEN TOOLS. 



Space will not permit illustrating and describing all of the "Planet Jr." 

 "Planet Jr." goods are standard machines and the best on the market. 



The New "Planet Jr." No. 3 Hill Dropping Seed Drill. 



This Drill will sow in a continuous row in the ordinary way, with the 



greatest regularity; but its distinctive feature is that it will drop neatly in hills, 



either four, six, eight, twelve or twenty-four inches 



apart. It opens the furrow, drops in hills or drills, 



covers, rolls down and marks the next row, all atone 



operation. The hopper holds three quarts. The 



wheel is thirteen inches high. It is 



changed in a moment from hill dropping 



to drill work. It has a force feed, sows 



equally well whether the hopper is full or 



contains only a paper of seed, and will 



not injure delicate seed. Price, $9.00.

THE "PLANET JR." DOUBLE WHEEL HOE. 



In an onion field and among many other crops, one can do more and better 

 work with this tool than six men with ordinary hoes. 

 It is invaluable for all market garden crops. The 

 wheels are only ten inches high, as a high wheel is 

 wrong for a Wheel Hoe, since the wheels are 

 simply depth regulators, not load carriers. It 

 will straddle plants eighteen inches high, and 

 finish rows from six to eighteen 

 inches apart at one passage. Price, 

 $6.00. With hoes only, $3.50. 



"PLANET JR." 12-T00TH HARROW. 



This tool has rapidly grown into favor with market gardeners and straw- 

 berry growers. It has a 

 high frame, the chisel- 

 shape teeth cut an inch 

 wide. It contracts to 12 

 inches, it expands to 32 

 inches. It cultivates deep 

 without throwing earth 

 upon the plants, and the 

 smooth, round - throated 

 teeth turn strawberry run- 

 ners without injuring 

 them. Plain, $4.50. 

 With Wheel, $5.75. 

 Complete, $7.00.

Price, $4.50. With 

 the hoes only, at

SINGLE WHEEL HOE. 



This Wheel Hoe is considerably 

 lighter than the Double, but does 

 almost the same variety of work; 

 it can be used to hoe both sides at 

 once, while plants are small, by 

 placing the wheel 

 at one side of the 

 frame. All rows 

 from 6 to 18 

 inches apart can 

 be hoed at 

 one pas- 

 sage.

Exactly the same as the "Planet Jr." Single 

 Wheel Hoe, excepting that it does not have the 

 rakes or leaf litter. Price, $3.75. 



The " Planet Jr." No. 8 Horse Hoe. 



Probably no other cultivating machine is so 

 widely known as the "Planet Jr." Combined 

 Horse Hoe and Cultivator, for it is in use through- 

 out the civilized world. It is so strongly 

 built as to withstand incredible strain, yet 

 it is light and easy to handle.

 Hoe and Cultivator.

 jis always the cheap-

THE "PLANET JR." No. 3 SEED DRILL. 



This tool is used the world over, and with the exception of our Hill Drop- 

 ping Drill, is the most perfect drill known. It holds two and one-half quarts. 



The sowing cylinder is a drum of spring brass, set between the driving 

 wheels. Around this drum is a brass band, drawn tight to the drum by a cam 

 which joins the ends. In both drum and band are corresponding diamond- 

 shaped discharge openings ; by loosening the cam and sliding the outer band, 

 the discharge may be regulated to suit any kind of thickness of seed. The 

 drill sows in an even, regular stream, whether there is much or little in the 

 hopper. The machine is extremely simple, having no agitators, belts or gear- 

 ing. Price, $6.50.
