The ^'Planet Jr^ Single Wheel Hoe. 



This Wheel Hoe is considerably lighter than the Double, 

 but does almost the same variety of work, being used mostly 

 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 tlje hoes insures a forward slanting 

 cut next to the plant, and consequent close work without 

 danger, and thorough cultivation of the soil. The rakes and 

 cultivator teeth and the hoes and plow enable the operator 

 to perform almost every variety of work, either in the field 

 or garden. All rows from 6 to 18 inches apart can be hoed at 

 one passage. Price. S4.50. 



To supply a demand for a cheap 

 Sing^le Wlieel Hoe. we offer the 

 above machine, with the hoes only, 

 at $3 75, and the other attachments 

 can be added at any time and will be 

 found to fit.

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



For 1897 we offer important improvements in our No. 8 " Planet Jr." Horse Hoe and Cultivator, 



as described below: 



The Frame is longer than usual and about 114 inches 

 higher, making a tool that will not clog easily. 



The Standards are framed up hollow with round throats 

 of stiff steel; they polish quickly and free themselves readily 

 from obstructions, and they clasp the frame and strengthen it. 



The Depth Is under perfect control by means of a new 

 lever wheel, and the new patented depth regulator, which are 

 moved instantly in unison by a single lever, making exact work, 

 steadying the machine and relieving the operator. 



The Expander— This is an entirely new pattern superior to 

 all other forms; f^xceetiinply strong, simple, 

 accurate and positive in all positions. 



Handles and Braces— These are ab- 

 solutely new and the most effective and 

 stiffest combination known, at once making 

 the tool rigid, yet allowing every adjust- 

 ment of handles in height and sidewise. 



Every part is perfected to make the tool 

 acceptable to the intelligent farmer; he 

 knows the best Is altvays the cheapest. 

 Price, m7.75. 



The "Planet Jr." No. 6 Horse Hoe. 



This tool has the same standards and teeth as 

 the No. 8, but it does not have the improved depth 

 regulator and the expander and braces of the No. 

 8. yet it is strong and serviceable and will give full 

 satisfaction. Has an excellent expander and 

 handles adjustable, both perpendicularly and 

 sidewise.

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, ha«; a high frame, and the chisel shape teeth cut an 



inch wide each. It may be set with teeth trailing 

 by simply changing one bolt in each tooth. 



The foot lever pulverizer is a capital addition 

 for preparing ground for the seed drill or for 

 plant setting. Hand levers regulate both width 

 and depth while in motion ; it contracts 12 inches, 

 and may be further reduced in width by taking 

 off the outside teeth; it expands in width to 32 

 inches. It cultivates deep without throwing 

 earth upon tlie plants, and tlie smooth, round- 

 throated teetli turn strawberry runners without 

 injuring them.
