The Planet Jr. yo. 5 Hill Dropping Seeder. 



The Planet Jr. No. 2 Seed Drill. 



This simple drill has been the standard machine for years. It holds 2K 

 quarts. It sows all garden seeds aecui-ately at any desired thickness or depth ; 

 it opens, drops, covers, roUs down and marks the next row all at one passage, 

 in the most perfect manner. The machine has no agitators, and hence deli- 

 cate seed may be sown without danger of injury. $6.50. 



The Planet Jr. No. 3 Hill Dropping Seeder. 

 Sows either in Hills or in Continuous Row. 



This drill will sow in a continuous row, in the ordinary way, with the 

 greatest regularity ; but its distinctive feature is that it will drop neatly in 

 hills, either 4, 6, 8, 12 or 2-1 inches apart. It opens the furrow, drops in hills 

 or drills, covers, roUs down and marks the next row, aU at one operation. 

 The hopper holds 3 quarts. The wheel is 15 inches high, with a broad face. 

 It is changed in a moment from hill dropping to drUl jrork. It has a rubber 

 force feed, sows equally well whether the hopper is full or contains only a 

 paper of seed. It is nicely adapted to all conditions of land, working espe- 

 cially weU in fresh ground or when planted in a ridge. The plow is adjustable 

 and opens a very narrow furrow, which is a great advantage for after cultiva- 

 tion. $9.

 wanted, and without clogging or trouble of any kind. It has the plow, 

 coverer, marker and roller, though when they are used it is often best not to 

 fill the hopper more than halt full. When used in a furrow, the plow, coverer 

 and marker are removed, and the work is then light, even when filled full.

 may be sown. It is durable, easy to understand and very light-running. $12.
