The Planet Jr. Hill=Dropping Garden Drill. 



This new machine holds two quarts, and sows all kinds of garden seed with great regularity. The plow runs any 

 depth, from one-eighth to two inches. It sows in drill as well as No. 2 Drill, 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 

 iwill not sow when run backwards. It has a force-feed, so that the sowing 

 s regular, no matter whether the drill is full or nearly empty. The dis- 

 charge 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 at any distance 

 desired, up to 20 inches. The aljility to drop in hills is a great advantage, 

 as It saves 

 consider - 

 able seed, 

 insures 



vigorous plants at 

 even distances, and 

 saves an immense 

 amount of hand 

 bor in thinning out.

Planet Jr. Combined Hill=Dropping and Fertilizer Drill. 



This tool is also new, and as a drill is exactly the same as the machine just de 

 scribed. The fertilizer hopper holds one peck. The amount sown is regulated accurately 

 by the dials, and the discharge of both may be stopped and started instantly, either 

 separately or together, avoiding loss at the ends of the row. Like the plain Hill- 

 Dropping Drill, it does not sow when drawn backward, and 

 can be quickly be thrown entirely out of gear. Net price, $14

 Wheel Hoe, Cultivator, 

 Rake and Plow. 



As a seed drill it is the same as No. 2 

 except in size. It holds one quart. It has 

 all the tools shown in cut. All blades

 rakes are invaluable in preparing the 

 ground for planting, covering seeds, 

 first cultivation, etc. The hoes work

New Model Seed=Drill. 



Regulation of Discharge. The adjustment is accomplished in this drill in a 

 very simple and effective manner, by the use of a slide with a pear-shaped openmg 

 passing under the bottom of the 

 seed reservoir, which is provided 

 with a perforation of similar 

 shape, in a reversed position. 

 This slide can be instantly ad- 

 justed to size indicated by ihdex, 

 or to hairbreadth variation be- 

 tween, a vital point in a perfect 

 seed-drill. 



Index. The index or indicator ' 

 is plain, convenient and reliable. 

 It is placed in full sight, immediatelv under the eye of the operator, and, as stated above, 

 can be quickly adjusted to the slightest variation desired. 



Cut-off. The flow of seed can be instantly stopped by a swinging cut-off, con- 

 veniently operated by a cord and ring on the handle. This cut-off prevents all loss of 

 seed on end of rows, and its swing or gravity form will be found far more preferable to 

 one that slides under, as it cannot be jammed by the falling sfeed. 



Marker. This is simple, easy to adjust and firmlvheld. Each drill carefully packed 

 for shipment. Packed weight about 40 pounds. Price, $7. The New Model Seed Drill.
