USEFUL GARDEN IMPLEMENTS. 



The Planet Jr. No. 5 Hill Dropping Seeder. 



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 24 inches apart. It opens the furrow, drops in hills 

 or drills, covers, rolls down and marks the next row, all 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 drill work. It has a rub- 

 ber 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.; 

 especially well in fr«sh ground or when planting on a ridge. The plow is 

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

 after cultivation, $9. 



The Planet Jr. No. 4 Combined Hill Dropping 

 Seeder and Single Wheel Hoe, Cultivator, 

 Rake and Plow. 



Smaller in capacity than No. 5, still of good size, holding three pints. 

 It does not drop at so many different distances apart ; however, it drops at 

 all the most important distances, at 6, 9, 12, 18 and 36 inches. The drill is 

 quickly detached and the tool frame substituted. It then becomes the 

 most admirable Single Wheel Hoe of the " Planet Jr." family. Has a fine 

 garden plow, two elegantly shaped new style hoes, three delightful culti- 

 vating rakes, made new form and specially to fit 6, 9, 12 and, using two at 

 once, 14 and 16 inch rows; and a practical leaf guard. Complete, $10. 

 As a drill only, $7- 



The Planet Jr. No. 5 Hill Dropping Seeder. 



There are but few who do not wish to plant beans and corn, spinach and 

 salsify, carrots and turnips, parsnips and beets in hills. All crops that are 

 to be grown from seed and then thinned to a regular stand, should be sown 

 in kills and at just the distance apart the plants are desired ; for in drilling, 

 unless the seed is sown unnecessarily thick, there will not always be a 

 plant at the proper spot, and the crop is therefore irregular. This means 

 that nowadays a seed sower should drop in hills, and at almost every dis- 

 tance apart. The new No. 5 " Planet Jr." drops at 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24 and 

 48 inches apart, and, also, beautifully in a continuous row. Can be changed 

 from hill to drill or from one distance to another very quickly. A neat, 

 clear index, with brass screw regulator and quick cut-off, is arranged most 

 conveniently just at the top of the handle. It is unusually large, holding 

 3 quarts, yet very light running withal. $12. 



The Planet Jr. Fertilizer and Pea Drill. 



This fine Fertilizer and Pea Drill is entirely new in principle. It has a 

 20-inch carying wheel with 2-inch face ; a large wheel, because it carries a 

 large load, a half-bushel of peas or fertilizer. These it sows in the most 

 admirable and regular manner at any thickness 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 half full. When used in a furrow, the plow, coverer and marker 

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

 is placed at the top of the handle, and the exact amount wanted may be 

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



Model Seed Drill. 1 



Regulation of Discharge. The 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 instantly adjusted lo size, indicated 

 by index, or to hairbreadth variations between. 



Index. The index is plain, convenient and reliable. It is placed in full 

 sight under the eye of the operator. 



Cut-off. The flow of seed can be stopped by a swinging cut-off. This 

 cut-off prevents all loss of seed on end rows. 



Marker. Easy to adjust and firmly held. Each drill carefully packed 

 for shipment. Packed weight about 40 pounds. $6.50. 



Planet Jr. Double Wheel Hoe, Cultivator, 

 Rake and Plow. 



This tool does the work of from six to ten men with ordinary hand 

 hoes. Can be used to straddle rows, or run between them, as desired. It 

 has all the attachments shown in cut. The rakes level the ground for 

 planting, gather stones and trash, cultivate, cover seeds, etc. The hoes 

 cut loose and clean, killing everything they meet, leaving the ground 

 level. The cultivator teeth mellow the soil deep or shallow, and are useful 

 for marking out. The plows lay out deep furrows and cover them, hill up 

 or plow away, as desired. The leaf-guards allow cultivation of large 

 plants, such as beets, carrots, parsnips, beans and peas. Complete, $6.

 of hoes, and without leaf-guards, as the " Planet Jr. Plain Double Whee 1 

 Hoe," at $3.50.

The 



Iron Age" Combined Seed Drill and 

 Wheel Hoe. 



The Planet Jr. Fertilizer nd Pea_Drill. 



The drill attachment is complete in itself, and when put in place re- 

 quires but two bolts to secure it ; the single wheel is then put in position, 

 the chain run on, and the drill is ready for operation. The seed slide 

 and its index adjustment to sow the various seeds is similar to that used 

 on our well known New Model Seed Drill, while the agitator is simply a 

 revolving brush, of selected bristles, which will not injure the seed, will 

 wear a long time, and can be cheaply replaced. 



The opening plow is adjustable in depth and aiso reversible, one end 

 being wide for onion seed, and the other narrow for placing the seed in 

 a close, straight line. In place of a covering roller, we use a small steel 

 smoother— doing the work of a roller with none of its weight and 

 clumsiness. This, together with the coverer, to which it is attached, is 

 adjustable to suit various soils and depths of covering. Packed weight, 

 50 lbs. Price, $9.
