GARDEN TOOLS. 



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 ouce, while plants 

 are small, by placing the wheel at one side of the frame. The form 

 of the hoes insures a forward slantiug 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 Si4.50. 

 To supply a demand for a cheap Single 

 "Wheel Hoe, we offer the above ma- 

 chine, with the hoes only, at $2.75, and 

 the other attachments can be added at 

 any time and will be found to fit. 



The "Fire-Fly" Single Wheel Hoe, 

 Cultivator and Plow.

 as the "Planet .Jr." Single Wheel Hoe 

 excepting that it does not have the rakes 

 or leaf lilter. Price $3.75. 



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



For 1896 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 l^ 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 obstruc- 

 tions, 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: exceedingly strong, simple, accur- 

 ate and positive in all positions. 



Handles and Braces. These are absolutely 

 new and the most effective and stiffest combi- 

 nation known, at once making the- tool rigid, yet 

 allowing every adju.stmeut of handles in height 

 and side wise. 



Every part is perfected to make the tool 

 acceptable to the intelligent farmer; he knows 

 the best is always the cheapest. Price §57.75. 



The ''Planet J r," No. 6 Horse Hoe.

 and serviceable and will -ivc lull >ati.-faction. Hasan

 pendicularly and sidewise. Price S7.35. 



''Planet Jr." 12-Tooth Harrow. 



This comparatively new tool has rapidly s^rown 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. It 



maybe set with teeth trailing bv siinplv changing one 

 bolt in each tooth.

 preparing ground for the seed drill or for plant setting.

 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 the plants, and the 

 smooth, rjund-throated teeth turn strawberry runners 

 without injurinsi th.-m. Price. Plain.' .*5.00.
