The "PLANET JR." Orchard Cultivator and Universal Harrow, 



flarker and Coverer. 



This recent invention 

 has won high praise and 

 admiration from a great 

 many extensive orchard- 

 ists and fruit-growers, and 

 with improvements for 

 1897, it is bound to be- 

 come a favorite for many 

 other kinds of work as 

 well. The extreme sim- 

 plicity of the tool and its 

 handy control by a single 

 lever are prominent char- 

 acteristics. It is generally 

 sent out with nine 10 x 2}£- 

 inch teeth, cutting 5 feet 

 3 inches. But other widths 

 of teeth may be used, 1% 

 3 and 4-inch ; and a pair 

 of extensions are sold as an extra to extend 

 the width of cut to 6 feet 6 inches. It is ex- 

 ceedingly strong aud compact ; is operated for 

 depth and to raise the teeth out of the ground 

 by its single lever, through the agency of a 

 powerful swinging spring, by which the pres- 

 sure is applied either before or behind the axle 

 at-will, thus putting any pressure desired 

 upon the teeth with a spring tension, and 

 assuring good work. 



It also has three shovel plows with which to 

 open furrows for different uses at almost every 

 distance, two at a time, and plows with which 

 to cover them. 



It is exceedingly useful to prepare ground 

 for planting both Spring and Fall, and then 

 with the cultivator teeth and plows, the culti- 

 vation of most crops, except corn, may be done 

 with satisfaction. 



It is simple, durable, very strong, and very light draft for the work accomplished. 



The wheexs are entirely within the frame, and its fender-like shape is such as to prevent injury to trees when working close 

 to them. Price as in cut, $35.00 ; Shovel Plows (3), Sl.OO ; Hilling; Plows (4), 82.00 ; Intensions, per pair, $5.00. 



The "PLANET JR." Pivot Wheel Cultivator and Plow, Marker 



and Ridgef. 



This new two-horse tool is worthy of a distinguished place 

 in all descriptions of the latest improved implements. Neat- 

 ness of construction is here combined with lightness, strength 

 and adjustability. It is a tool with which a remarkable variety 

 of work can be satisfactorily done. As a fallow cultivator, 

 ground can be prepared for crops both Fall and Spring, and 

 marking, covering, cultivating, plowing, etc., are 'all admirably 

 performed. The very latest ideas are embodied here in the 

 finest designs and materials. The most noticeable feature is 

 the spring depth regulation and lift. The principle is the 

 use of a powerful swinging spring, moved easily at one end, 

 by the agency of a lever and a traversing truck, by which the 

 spring tension is applied at either end of the track at will, 

 thus either raising the teeth out of the ground or press- 

 ing them in with the exact force needful— the most satisfactory 

 method yet discovered. Other adjustments are easily and 

 quickly made. The gangs are moved closer or wider apart 

 at will, and are also set low or high in front, as needful. 

 Each tooth has our famous hollow steel standard, with break 

 pin, and a hollow malleable extension standard which is ad- 

 justable for height and maybe turned to the right or left, or 

 moved aloug the bars to change the position sidewise, covering 

 by these numerous but extremely simple adjustments every 

 change that can be useful. The seat is also adjustable and the 

 wheels are pivoted and have just a little of the castor prin- 

 ciple, and the balance is so perfect that it steers like a charm, 

 enabling the operator to work closer than ever before pos-f-ible, 

 with so little labor, and to work hillsides with ease. Two mark- 

 ing shovels are supplied, which will open two furrows at once, 

 any distance apart up to 3 feet 6 inches, and with two of the 

 plows shown it will cover neatly or make ridpes for any kind of 

 planting. The tool also has a ninth tooth for fallow ground. 

 The cultivator teeth are 10 x 2% inches, of the best quality and 

 shape. Other teeth 1%, 3 and 4 inches, also fit the tool. The 

 plows are capital for plowing to or from, hilling, etc. The 

 frame is made of spring steel, and all the parts and the work- 

 manship are superior in design and value to any Bimilar tool. 

 Price, S40.00.
