 and beautiful in finish of any known. A full descriptive catalogue free on application. 



The Planet Jr. Hill Dropping Garden Drill. 



This is entirely a new machine, the lat- 

 est and best of the "Planet Jr." family. It 

 holds two quarts, and sows all kinds of gar- 

 den seeds with the greatest regularity. The 

 plow runs any depth from to 2 inches. It 

 sows in drills and will also drop in neat 

 hills either 4, 6, 8 or 12 inches apart. It can 

 be changed from a hill to a drill dropping 

 machine or the reverse, or can be thrown 

 in or out of gear in a moment, and will not 

 sow when run backwards. It has a force- 

 feed, so that the sowing is regular, no mat- 

 ter whether the drill is full or nearly emp- 

 ty. The discharge of tlie seed can be 

 stopped instantly at the end of the row, so 

 that none need be wasted. The ability to 

 drop in hills is a great advantage, as it 

 saves considerable seed. The machine is 

 thoroughly well made, and the best tool on 

 the market. Price. $9.00. 



The ' Planet Jr." Combined Drill, Wheel Hoe, Cultivator, Rake, 



and Plow. 



Tliis is the most popular and perfect machine of its kind made. As a seed drill, it holds one 



quart. It has all the tools shown in cut. 

 All blades are steel, tempered and pol- 

 ished. The rakes are invaluable in 

 preparing the ground for planting, for 

 covering seeds, first cultivation, etc. 

 The lioes work closely and safely all 

 rows up to sixteen inches wide at one 

 passage, leaving the ground nearly 

 level. I'he plow opens furrows, covers 

 them, hills, plows to and from, etc. The 

 Cultivator teeth are admirably adapted 

 to deep mellowing of the soil and mark- 

 ing out. Taken as a whole, this com- 

 bined tool is the nearest approach to 

 perfection for the use of the gardener 

 that can well be devised in a single im- 

 plement. Price, $9. 00 



The * Planet Jr." No. 2 Seed DriU 



This is a simple and most accurate drill, and has been the standard machine for years. It holds 



two and one half quarts. It sows all garden 

 seed accurately at any desired depth or 

 tlilckness: it opens, drops, covers, roils 

 down and marks tlie next row, all at one 

 passage, in the most perfect manner. The 

 continual revolution of the hopper keeps 

 the seed loose, and make sowing of difficult 

 seed, as carrot, parsnip, beet and salsify, 

 easy and perfect. The machine has no 

 agitators, and hence delicate seed can be 

 sov n without danger of injury. It is one 

 of the best machines on the" maiket. This 

 machine, with the "Planet Jr." Double 

 Wheel Hoe (see description), makes an 

 excellent combination for market garden- 

 ers, and especially onion growers. Price.
