Garden Seed Drills and Hand Cultivators. 



Model Seed Drill. 



PLANET JR. NO. i COMBINATION DRILL AND WHEEL-HOE, CUL- 

 TIVATOR, RAKE AN D PLOW. The most popular combined tool made. As 

 a seed-sower, it is identical with No. 2 except in size, and has all its merits, 

 its strength, durability, ease of operation and perfection of work. Has a 

 complete set of cultivating tools, and all its work is rapid, easy and perfect. 

 "Used as a drill, it sows with great regularity and of uniform depth, and is 

 regulated at will. The hopper holds one quart. From a drill it is changed 

 to its other uses by unscrewing but two bolts, when any of the other attach- 

 ments can be quickly made ready for use. $9. 



PLANET JR. NO. 2 DRILL. This drill sows in an even, regular stream, 

 whether there is much or little seed in the hopper. The opening plow being 

 directly between the wheels, follows all irregularities of the ground and is 

 adjustable; once set, it opens the furrow at a uniform depth, and the seeds 

 are deposited in a very- narrow line. The hopper holds 2% quarts. The 

 machine is extremely simple ; has no agitators, belts or gearing. $6.50. 



PLANET JR. NO. 3 HILL-DROPPING DRILL. This drill will sow in a 

 continuous row in the ordinary way, with the greatest regularity; but its dis- 

 tinctive feature is that it will drop neatly in hills, either 4, 6, 8, 12 or 24 inches 

 apart. The wheel is 15 inches high, with a broad face. It is changed in a 

 moment from hill-dropping to drill work; sows equally well whether the 

 hopper contains only a paper of seed or is full. It will not injure delicate 

 seeds, which are often peeled or crushed by imperfect seeders. The plow is 

 adjustable and opens a very narrow furrow, which is a great advantage for 

 after-cultivation. $9. 



PLANET JR. NO. 4 COMBINED HILL-DROPPING DRILL, SINGLE 

 WHEEL-HOE, CULTIVATOR, RAKE AND PLOW. The hopper holds two 

 quarts. Like No. 3, this drill drops at 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 inches apart, in drills 

 any thickness, handling the smallest quantity perfectly; is simple, durable

and light-running. Is thrown out of gear instantly by simply raising the 

 handles. The index is accurate, plain and easily set. The drill is detached 

 and the tool-frame substituted by moving but one bolt. It then becomes a 

 perfect single wheel-hoe. Has a garden plow, two new style hoes, three culti- 

 vating rakes made especially to fit 6, 9, 12, 14 and Ki-iuch rows, three cultivator 

 teeth, and a leaf -guard. Price, complete, $10 ; as a drill only, $7. 



PLANET JR. NO. la DOUBLE WHEEL-HOE, CULTIVATOR AND 

 PLOW. This tool is identical with No. 11, except that it has a less complete 

 equipment, but the set of tools with this is what gardeners mostly need. $6.

IRON AGE HILL AND DRILL SEEDER. A very complete tool, that has 

 been placed on the market only after thorough experiments and field tests.

 adjusted and non-cloggable. The hopper holds four quarts, and is placed 

 low, making accurate spacing possible. The agitator is a revolving brush, 

 which makes it a sure feed, and sows with absolute accuracy. The distance 

 for spacing can be instantly changed. It will drop 4%, 6,9, 12, 18 and 36 

 inches apart, and can be changed easily from a hill-dropper to a row-drill. 

 The flow of seed can be accurately regulated and instantly stopped. The 

 marker can be changed by inches. The wheel rolls and packs the soil. $10. 



MODEL SEED DRILL. Adjustment is simple and effective by the use of 

 a slide with a pear-shaped opening passing under the bottom of the seed 

 reservoir, which is provided with a perforation of similar shape, in reversed 

 position. This slide can be changed instantly to size indicated by index, or to 

 a hair-breadth variation between. Index is plain, convenient and reliable.
