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 described. The fertilizer hopper holds one peck. 

 The fertilizer can be sown in any quantity necessary, either 

 above or below the seed as desired, by setting that plow deeper 

 or shallower than the other. The drills may be satisfactorily 

 used also to sow either seed or fertilizer alone. The amount 

 sown is regulated accurately by the dials, and the discharo-e of 

 both may be stopped and started instantly, either separateh' or 

 together, thus avoiding all loss at the ends of the row. Like the 

 plain Hill Dropping Drill, it does not sow when drawn back- 

 ward, and can be quickly thrown entirely out of gear. This 

 machine will be a great boon to all farmers and market gardeners.

Tlie Planet Jr. No. 2 Seed Drill. 



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 

 seeds accurately at any desired thickness or depth; it opens, drops, covers, 

 rolls down and marks the next row all at one passage, in the mostperfect man- 

 ner. The continual revolution of the hopper keeps the seed loose, and 

 makes sowing difficult seed such as carrot, parsnip, beet, salsify, easy and 

 perfect. The machine h»s no agitators, and hence delicate seed can be sown 

 without danger of injury. It is the best machine on the market-except the 

 Hill Dropping Drill before described. This machine, with the " Planet Jr." 

 Double Wheel Hoe (see description), makes an excellent combination for 

 market gard-ners, and especially for onion growers. Price, $7.

Model Seed Drill. |Eegulation of 



discharge. — Drills of similar construc- 

 tion are usually provided with a series of holes of varying sizes through which 

 the seed is passed, which of course, do not always give an opening of the exact 

 size required. This adjustment is accomplished in this drill in a very simple and 

 effective manner, bj' the use of a slide with a pear-shaped opening passing 

 luider the bottom of the seed reservoir, which is provided with a perforation of 

 similar shape, in a reversed position. This slide can be instantly adjusted to 

 size indicated by index, or to hairbreadth variation between a vital point in a 

 perfect seed drill. 



Index. The Index or indicator is plain, convenient and reliable. It is placed 

 in open sight, immediately under the eye of the operntor, and. as stated above, 

 can be quickly adjusted to "the slightest variation desired. As the names of the 

 'principal seeds are plainly shown on the Index itself, it is not necessary to 

 refer to any table of reference. 



Cut=off. The flow of seed can be instantly stopped by a swinging cut-off, conveniently operated by a cord and ring on 

 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 seed. 



Marker. Is simple, easily adjusted and firmly held. Broad Wheel— The main wheel is of large size and of unusual -width, pre- 

 venting its sinking into soft earth. Covering Roller— Is attached by a swinging frame, enabling operator to roll lightly or other- 

 wise, by varying the pressure on handles. Opening Plow — is of steel, adjustable in depth. Handles— Firmly bolted, braced and 

 adjustable in height. Each drill carefully packed for shipment. Packed weight about 40 pounds. Price, $7.
