94B PETER HENDERSON & CO.—GARDEN AND FARM IMPLEMENTS. 
The “Planet Jr.” Market Gardener’s Horse Hoe and Pulverizer. 
This admirable tool is constructed conspicuously in the interest of very fine close level culture of market garden and field crops. 
The construction is as shown in the cut; the equipment, a 12-inch sweep, two hoes cutting 10 inches each, and a 25-inch pulverizer. 
a It is very neatly made, each tooth being so formed that while the soil is 
worked most thoroughly, it remains nearly level. The Market Gardener’s 
5 Horse Hoe at a single passage works all rows from 18 to 32 inches. 
The hoes may be exchanged from one side to the other, and the Pulverizer 
= Ne AE may be reduced in size for narrow rows; or by taking off the sweep and 
Sey ; / the centre tooth of the Pulverizer and the wheel, the tool may be used 
GN = : to straddle the row and cultivate both sides at once, as in cotton, ete. It 
~~ : runs with extreme steadiness, and therefore can be safely used in the closest 
and most delicate operations. 
The ’91 Lever Wheel is a feature here also; nothing of the kind 
at all equals it in ease and delicacy of adjustment, so pleasant and 
necessary in such a tool. For strength and ni 
of construction, and for perfect work in the fi 
nothing we have ever had to offer exceeds this latest 
and best of all horse hoes.

The “ Planet Jr.” All Steel Pulverizer and Leveler. 
This novelty has high merit. Its width is 4 feet 6 inches; it can be regulated to cut deep or shallow as 
required, and is a very perfect tool for all such work as fining and levelling the surface of fields and garden for the 
use of the marker, seed drill, etc., etc. and for levelling and smoothing ridges in place of the hand rake, previous 
to drilling or setting plants to be worked with the wheel hoe; levelling never less than two ridges at once, they 
are very perfectly done. Its action is better than either harrow, rake or roller for such cases, or than all 
combined. It breaks, cuts, rolls and crushes lumps, and takes the tops of the high places and carries 
them forward to fill up the hollows. It grows sharper with use, though the depth can easily be regulated by 
the flat blades with their set screws. It will prove invaluable for all fine surfacing, almost entirely taking 
the place of the harrow on newly plowed ground, and the usual slow surface preparation of the ; 
Market Garden will be rapidly done in the neatest manner. Weight, Packed, 75 lbs. Our Net Cash

The “Planet Jr.” Celery 
Hillers. 
These tools are absolutely indispensable to celery 
growers. They have now been used three years, and 
the market gardeners around Philadelphia, among = = % E

freely as soon as they were shown in actual use among celery. Several hundred were disposed of 
within ten miles of Philadelphia; and during the working season further important improvements 
were made, and we now offer them fully perfected. The DOUBLE machine hilJs all rows from the 
first to the last time, when not planted over four and one-half feet apart. The first hilling the detach- 
able leaf guards are invaluable, enabling the operator to throw up the earth beneath all the leaves, 
so close as to make the first “handling” very easy. Slotted knees at the rear make the vertical 
adjustment, while the patent lever expander is a simple and delightful method of adjustment to width. 
The SINGLE machine works but one side at a time, and throws harder and higher than the 
double, and is adapted to all width rows, from two feet to ten. It also has the leaf lifter and 
patent lever expander. It is more satisfactory for the last and highest hilling, and large growers 
need both. The single machine is also often used where the rows are so close together that 
there is not enough earth to complete hilling up both rows at once. The single hiller is then 
used to hill very high every other row. taking away most of the earth from the alternate rows. 
Then when the blanched row is marketed it is again used to hill A 
up the remaining row. It is also used to bank up the celery 
when storing in trenches for winter.
