« 



These are the most popular and complete garden tools made. They are known the world over, and beyond question are 1^ 



the most perfect in design, construction and finish, and most practical "yet invented. I otter them this year more perfect, | 



more labor-saving and money-earning than ever. JSfo wide-awake farmer or gardener can afford to be without them. Space ^

The New "Planet Jr." No. 3 Hi!l Dropping Seed Drill. 



M 



.No. 3 Hill Drnir.ii 

 Drill. 



This is the first year 

 that this machine lias 

 been offered widely, but 

 the machine has been 

 tested thoroughly by 

 careful gardeners and 

 nurserymen during the 

 season of 18116, and the 

 manufacturers guaran- 

 tee it to give entire satis- 

 faction. Sows either in 

 hills or continuous rows. 

 Price, S9.00. 



only, but the demand for a machine that could be adjusted to sow in hills was very great. This Drill will sow 



in a continuous row, in the ordinary way, with the greatest regularity; but its distinctive feature is that it will 2, 



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 at one operation. The hopper holds three quarts. The wheel is 13 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, such as radish, cabbage, etc. Price, $9.00. 



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



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

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

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

 per. The opening plow, being directly between the wheels, follows all irregulari- 

 ties of the ground, is adjustable and once set, opens the furrow at a uniform depth, 

 and the seeds are deposited in a very narrow line. The machine is extremely sim- 

 ple, having no agitators, belts or gearing, the seed cannot be injured, even if 

 sprouted. The plow is adjustable and opens a very narrow furrow, which is a great

CULTIVATOR, RAKE AND PLOW. ' 



This is the most popular combined tool known, and its friends 

 have been gained by substantial merit alone. As a seed sower it is 

 Identical with the No. 2 "Planet Jr." Drill, except in size, 

 and has all its merits, its strength, durability, ease of opera 

 tion and perfection of work. This combined tool has a com 

 plete set of cultivating tools, and all its operations are ^^ 

 rapid, easy, perfect and delightful. When used as a Drill ^ 



the seed is sown with great regu "- 



larity and at uniform depth, regu ^ 



lated at pleasure. The hoppei 



holds one quart. From a Drill it 



is changed to its other uses by un 



screwing but two bolts, when any 



of the attachments shown in the 



cut can be instantlj' attached. Pi ice, $9.00. 



The "Planet Jr." Double Wheel Hoe, Cultivator, Rake and Plow. 



Thousands of farmers and gardeners who own this tool save its cost once 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 mar- 

 ket 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. The "Planet Jr." Double Wheel Hoe will 

 straddle plants eighteen inches high, and finish rows from six to eighteen inches apart at one passage. All the tools 

 shown in the cut go with the machine for the price; and all the blades are steel, hardened in oil and polished. The 

 wheels are adjustable to make the work shallow or deep, as required and to adopt the machine to all width rows. Price, $6.00. 



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



Probably no other cultivating machine is so widely known as 

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

 out the civilized world. It is so strongly built as to withstand in- 

 credible strain, yet it Is light and easy to handle. For 1897 we of- 

 fer important improvements on this machine as follows: 

 The Standards are framed up hollow with round throats of stiff 

 steel; they polish quickly and free themselves readily from ob- 

 structions, and they clasp the frame and strengthen it.' Tlie Ex- 

 pander.— This is an entirely new pattern, superior to all other 

 forms; exceedingly strong, simple, accurate and positive in all 

 positions. Handle and Braces.— These are also absolutely new, 

 and the most etl'ective and stiffest combination known, at once 



making the tool rigid yet allowing every 

 'adjustment of handles in height and 



sidewise. Price, $7.50. 



The "Planet Jr." Plain Double Wheel Hoe. 



To accommodate those who have little work but hoeing, we offer the machine just described with hoes 

 only. The other parts can be added at any time, and will be found to fit. It is just the thing for onion grow- 

 ers and others who want a hoe only, and at a small cost. Price, $3.50. 



The "Planet Jr." Single Wheel Hoe, Cultivator, Rake and Plow. 



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

 the same variety of work, being used mo.stly 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. The form of the hoes insures a forward slanting cut 

 next to the plant and consequent close work without danger, and thorough cul- 

 ti% at ion of the soil. The rakes and cultivator teeth, and 

 the hoes and plow enable the operator to perform al- 

 most every variety of work, either in the field or garden. 

 All rows from six to eighteen inches apart can be hoed 

 at one passage. The frame is quickly raised or lowered 

 ^^Sb^sS*--"^ \^\ to regulate depth; and the wheel has an extra broad 

 face. Price, $4.50. 



The "Fire-Fly" Single Wheel Hoe, 

 Cultivator and Plow. 



This popular tool is exactly the same as 

 the "Planet Jr." Single Wheel Hoe, except- 

 ing that it does not have the rakes 

 or leaf lifter. Price, S3.75.

Planet Jr." i2=Tooth Harrow. 



This comparatively new tool has rapidly grown into favor 

 with market gardeners and strawberry growers. It is carefully 

 made and finished, has a high frame and the chisel shape 

 teeth cut an inch wide each. Hand levers regulate both 

 width and depth while in motion; it contracts to I'i inches, 

 and may be further reduced in width by 

 taking off the outside teeth; it expands to 

 32 inches. It cultivates deep without 

 throwing earth upon the plants, and the 

 smooth, round-throated teeth turn straw- 

 berry runners without injuring them. 

 Price, without attachments $5.00. With 

 wheel only, $6.25. Complete, with wheel 

 and all attachments. $7.50.
