" Planet Jr." Hill Dropping: Garden Seed Drill. 



For Hand Power. 



Our Net Price 



(List Price, $ 12.00.) 



This is an entirely new machine, the latest and best 

 f the " Planet Jr." family. It holds two quarts, and 

 sows all kinds of garden seeds with the greatest regu- 

 larity. The plow runs any depth trom % to 2 inches. 

 It sows in drills as well as the No. 2 Drill (described 

 below) and will also drop in neat hills either 4, 6, 8 or 

 T2 inches apart. It can be changed from a hill to a 

 drill dropping ma- 

 chine or the re- 

 verse, or can be 

 thrown in or out of 

 gear in a moment, 

 and will not sow 

 when run back- 

 wards. It is nicely 

 adapted to work- 

 ing all conditions 

 of land, especially 

 well in fresh 



ground or when planting on a ridge. It has a force feed so that sowing is regular no 

 matter whether the drill is full or nearly empty. The discharge of the seed ean be 

 stopped instantly at the end of the row so that none need be wasted. The opening 

 plow and coverer are especially adapted for the work they have to do. while the marker 

 can be set at any 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, 

 andsavesan immense 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 

 tor sets in a band four inches wide, price, 50c Weight, packed. 44 lis. 



"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 de- 

 sired thickness or depth. 

 It .opens, -drops,; covers, 

 and rolls down and marks 

 the next row, all at one 

 passage, in the most per- 

 fect and reliable manner. 

 Its construction is simple; 

 it runs easily, and its sow' 

 ing devices are in no way 

 dangerous to the vitality 

 of the seed. It will sow 

 a single thimblefull of 

 fine seed with regularity 

 for the distance of a 

 hundred feet, yet it will 

 work five pounds with the same perfection. The continual revolution of the hopper 

 keeps the seed in a loose condition, and makes the sowing of Carrot, Parsnip, beet. 

 Salsify, etc. easy and satisfactory. The plow is directly between the wheels, and 

 therefore opens the furrow at a perfectly regular depth, and the covering is also very 

 accurate. We can assure our customer that it will give them every satisfaction. 

 Our Net Price, $7.50. (List Price, $9.00.) Weight, packed, 40 lbs. 



Planet Jr." Combined Hill Dropping Seed and 

 Fertilizer Drill. 



For Hand Power. 



This tool is new for '92 and as a drill is exactly the same 

 as the Hill Dropping Seed Drill with the addition of a fer- 

 tilizer 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 drills may ba 

 satisfactorily used also to sow either seed or fertilizer alone. 

 The amount sown is regulated accurately by the dials, and 

 the discharge of both may be stopped and started i; 

 either separately or 

 together, thus avoid- 

 ing all loss at the ends 

 df the row. Like the 

 plain hill dropping 

 drill, it does 1 

 when drawn back- 

 wards, and can be 

 quickly thrown entire- 

 ly out of gear. This 

 machine^will be a great 

 boon to all farmers and market gardeners. It is'thoroughly well made and guaranteed 

 to do satisfactory work. Weight, packed, 58 lis. 



"Planet Jr." Combined Drill, Wheel Hoe, 

 Cultivator, Rake and Plow. 



For Hand Power. 



Unquestionably the most popular, and the most 

 perfect machine of its kind made. As a seed drill 

 it is the same as the No. 3, except in size; it holds 

 one quart. The tools sent with each machine are 

 shown in the cut. The curved Kakes are invalu- 

 able 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. Th« 

 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 Corn. Cabbage, 

 Potatoes, Celery, etc. The Cultivator teeth are admirably adapted to deep mellowing 

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

 inches apart; and one for marking out two rows for sets, plants and large seeds. 

 Taken as a whole, this combined tool is the nearest approach to perfection for the use 

 of a gardener that can well be devised. Our Net Price, $ 1 O.OO. (List 

 Price, $12.00.) Weight, packed, 40 Us.
