The " Planet Jr." & " Fire-Fly" Farm & Garden Tools. 



THE PLANET JR. HILL DROPPING GARDEN DRILL.— This is an entirely 

 new machine, the latest and best of the *■ Planet Jr." family. It holds two quarts, and sows all kinds of 

 gt rden seed with the greatest regularity. The plow runs any depth, from one-eighth to two inches. It 

 sows in drills as well as the No. 2 Drill, and will also drop in Deat hills either four, six, eight or twelve 

 inches apart. It can be changed from a hill to a drill dropping machine or the re^ erse, or can be thrown 

 in or out of gear in a moment, and will not sow when run backwards. It is nicely adapted to working 

 all conditions of land, especially in fresh ground or when planting on a ridge. It has a force-feed, so 

 that the sowing is regular no matter whether the drill is full or nearly empty. The discharge of the 

 seed can be stopped instantly at the end of the row, so that none need be wasted. The Opening Plow 

 and Coverer are specially adapted for the work they have to do, while the marker can be set any distance 

 desired up to twenty 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 immense amount of hand labor in thinning 

 out. The machine is thoroughly well made and the best tool on the market. 

 Price, $12.00. Extra attachment for sowing onion seed for sets, 

 50 cents.
