The " PLANET JR." No. 5 Hill Dropping Seeder. 



We all know that a gar- 

 den seed sower that does 

 not drop in hills is fast 

 becoming a thing of the 

 past, for there are but few 

 now who do not wish to 

 plant beans and corn, 

 spinach and salsify, car- 

 rots and turnips, parsnips- 

 and beets, i-n hills. All 

 crops that are to be 

 grown from seed and then 

 thinned to a regular stand, should be planted in hills and at just the distance 

 apart the plants are desired. The new No. 5 " Planet Jr." drops at 5. 6, 8, 

 10, 12, 16, 24 and 48 inches apart, and also in a continuous row. It drops 

 without injury, can be changed from hill to drill or from one distance to 

 another very quickly, and without any changing of bolts. 



Its large capacity (3 quarts), will suit all large growers, and vet it works 

 so perfectly that it will sow a single paper of seed or drop it in hills accur- 

 ately,to the very last grain. Price, $12.00. 



The "PLANET JR." Single Wheel Hoe. 



This Wheel Hoe is considerably lighter than the Double, but does almost 

 the same variety of work, being used mostly between the rows, yet 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 six to eighteen inchesapart 

 can be hoed at one passage. Price, $U.50. With the hoes only, $2.15. 



The 



PLANET JR." 

 Double Wheel Hoe. 



Thousands of farmers and gardeners who own this tool save its cost one 

 or more times every year, for in an onion field and among many other 

 crops, one can do more and better work with it 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. so. 



The " PLANET JR." Double Celery Hiller. 



Considered in- 

 dispensablein cel- 

 ery growing. The 

 leaf lifters are val- 

 uable, being ad- 

 justable In height 

 to suit the work. 

 Thehillingblades 

 are 43 inches long, 

 and are adjusta- 

 ble as the hilling 

 becomes higher. 

 The double ma- 

 chine works all rows up to four feet apart. Price, S10.50. 



"PLANET JR." Single Celery Hiller. 



Runs lighter than the double, and throws rather higher; it works any 

 width of rows. Where market gardeners plant close and first bleach every 

 other row, it is "just the thing." Price, $9.00. 



"PLANET JR." No. 3 Hill Dropping Seed Drill. 



This Drill will sow in a continuous row or it will drop neatly in hills, 

 either 4, 6, 8, 12 or 24 inches apart. It opens the furrow, drops in hills or 

 drills, covers, rolls down and marks the next row, all at one 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." No. 4 Combined Hill Dropping 

 Seeder and Single Wheel Hoe. 



Similar to the No. 5 " Planet Jr." Hill Dropper. As a drill the points of 

 difference are : First, that it is smaller in capacity, though still of good 

 size, holding three pints, and that it does not drop at so many different 

 distances apart: however, it drops at all the most important distances, at 

 6, 9, 12, 18 and 36 inches. The drill is quickly detached and the tool frame 

 substituted. It then becomes the most admirable Single Wheel Hoe of the 

 " Planet Jr." family. Price, complete, $10.00. As a dri'l only, $7.00.

 its strength, durability, ease of operation and perfection of work. 



The hopper holds one quart. From a drill it is changed to its other- 

 uses by unscrewing but two bolts, when any of the attachments shown in. 

 the cut can be instantly attached. Price, $9.00.
