PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— PLANET, JR. IMPLEMENTS. 



No Gardener can afford to do without some of these 

 Great Labor Saving Tools. 



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



For Hand Power. 

 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. 

 Us construction is simple ; it runs easi.y, and its sowing devicesare in no way dangerous 

 to the vitality of seed. It will sow a single thimbleful of fine seed with regularity for 

 the distance of a hundred feet, yet it will sow five pounds with the same perfection. 

 The continual revolution of the hopper keeps the seed in a most perfect and loose con- 

 dition, and makes the sowing of different varieties, such as Carrot, Parsnip, Beet, Sal- 

 sify, etc.. easy and satisfactory. The machine operates without noise, and the open 

 ing, covering and rolling down are automatic and perfect. The 

 plow is directly between the wheels, and therefore opens the 

 *urrow at a perfectly regular depth, and the covering is alse 

 for the same reason very accurate. Seeds can therefore be put 

 in very shallow with enti e 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 in a moment. 

 The combination of the necessary good points is complete.

"Planet Jr." Combined Drill, Wheel 

 Hoe, Cultivator, Rake and Plow. 



For Hand Power. 



Unquestionably the most popular, and the most perfect ma- 

 chine of its kind made. As a seed drill it is the same as the No. 

 2, except in size ; this holds one quart. The tools sent with each 

 machine are shown in the cut. The curved Rakes are invaluable 

 in preparing ground for planting, and for delicate after cultivation 

 of the crop, and for covering seeds, etc. The Hoes work closely 

 and safely, both sides of the row at once when plants are small, and 

 between them when large, working all rows up to 16 inches wide 

 at one passage, leaving the ground nearly level. The Plow opens 

 furrows, covers them, hills, plows to and from, etc. In a small 

 garden where a horse is seldom used it is invaluable for working 

 the coarser crops, such as t orn, Cabbage, Potatoes, Ce'try, etc. 

 The Cultivator teeth are admirably a ^apted to deep mellowing of 

 the soil. Two teeth can be used for marking out two rows at once, 

 up to tight inches apart ; and one for marking out two rows for 

 sets, p'ants and large s.eds. Taken as a whole, this combined 

 tool is the nearest approach to perfection for the use of a gardener 

 that can well be devised. {Weighty packed. 40 lbs.) P. H . &.

"Planet Jr." Hill Dropping Garden Seed Drill. 



For Hand Power. 

 This is an entirely new machine, th» latest and best of the "Planet Jr." family. It holds two 

 quarts, and sows all kinds of garden seeds with the greatest regularity. The plow runs any 

 depth from >i to 2 inches. It sows in d: ills as well as the No. 2 Drill (described above) ai d will 

 also drop in neat hill; either 4, 6, 8 or : 2 inches apart. It can be changed from a hill to a drill 

 dropping machine or the reverse, or can be thrown in or out of gear in a mement, and will not 

 sow when run backwards. It is nicely adapted to working all conditions of land, especially 



well in fresh ground or when planting on a ridge. It ha; a 

 force feed so that sowing is regular no matter whether the 

 drill is full or nea ly empty. The discharge of the seed can 

 be stooped instantly at the edge of the row so tha-t none need 

 be wasted. The opening plow and coverer are especially ad- 

 apted for the work they have to do, while the marker can be 

 set at anv distance desired up to 20 inches. The ability to 

 drop in hills is a great advantage, as it saves considerable seed, 

 insures vigorous plants at even distances, and saves an im- 

 mense amount of hard labor in thinning out The machine is 

 thoroughly well made and the best tool on the market. Extra 

 attachment for sowing onion seed for sets in a band four inches 

 wide, price, 50c. (Weight, packed. 44 /**.) P H & Co's

"Planet Jr." Combined Hill Dropping- Seed and Fertilizer Drill 



For Hand Power. 



This new tool is exactly the same as the Hill Dropping- Peed Drill with the addition of a fertilizer 

 hopper holding one peck. The fertilizer can be sown either above or below the seed as desired by 

 setting that plow deeper or shallower than the other. The drilis maybe 

 satisfactorily used also to- sow ei'her either seed fertilizer alone. 1 he 

 amount sown is regulated accurately by the dials, and the discharge of both 

 may be stopped and started instantly either separately or together, tnus 

 avoiding all loss at the end of the row. Like the plain hill dropping drill, 

 it does not sow when drawn backwards, and can be quickly thrown en- 

 tirely out of gear. This machine will be a great boon to all farmers and 

 market gardeners. It is thoroughly we'l made and guaranteed to do satis- 

 factory work. (Weight, packed, 58 Afc.) P. H . &. Co'S LOW Net
