Aspinwall Potato Planter,- 



SHOWING 

 FERTILIZES 

 ATTACH- 

 MENT. 



An automatic machine, requiring only a team of horses with driver to plant five to eight acres a day. It 

 plants either whole or cut potatoes, 10, 13, 15, 17, 21 or 26 inches apart, as desired. It plants in a perfectly 

 straight row, rows any distance apart required. It opens the furrow, 3 to 9 inches deep, as set, drops the 

 seed, covers it with moist under earth and marks for the next row, all in one operation; and if the fertilizer 

 attachment is used, it will sow fertilizer at the same time, placing the fertilizer just below the seed, after 

 sufficient earth has fallen upon them and been mixed with the fertilizer to prevent injury to the seed. 



The New Aspinwall Potato Planter is the leading machine of the world. No other machine can begin to 

 compare with it in points of simplicity, durability, effec- 

 tiveness of working qualities and economy. The plow gjsa 

 opens a furrow and loosens the soil, while the runner 

 coyerers of steel yield to the inequalities of the ground , 

 being held to the work by a strong spring. Those desir- 

 ing disc coverers can have then at the same price. They 

 are operated and held to the work (as in the case of 

 runner coyerers) by a strong spring. Of course, where 

 the land is rough and heavy the disc coverers possess 

 some advantages. Both the runner and disc coverers 

 are raised by foot pressure and the plow by hand and 

 with great ease. In fact a boy can easily operate the 

 machine. The Planter is thrown out of gear automati- 

 cally when raising the plow, and again in gear when 

 lowering it to open the furrow. The feed arrangement 

 from the hopper is strikingly simple, requiring no chains 

 or adjustment to operate it, everything being in working 

 order upon attaching the hopper to frame of machine 

 and with all the beauty of design and ease of draft 

 (especially with the runner coverers), make our new 

 machine the leader for the 20th century. Net Prices 

 (free on board cars. New York, or factory in Michigan, 

 as preferred): New Aspinwall Potato Planter (with 

 either runner or disc coverers), net, $50.00; or with 

 Fertilizer Attachment, $62.00; Com Planter Attachment 

 extra, $7.50. 



The Automatic Plant Setting Machine. 



Transplants all kinds of plants at any required distance, and at the same time water is deposi- 

 ted at the roots and the covering rollers pack dry earth around the stalk, which cannot bake and 

 which retains moisture underneath. In front of the opening plow there is an adjustable cleaner 

 which clears away the loose stones and lumps of dirt which otherwise might be backed around the 

 roots or stalk; thus it will work in stony ground. The roller packers roll over obstacles which 

 shoes would drag along and interfere with setting the plants. It does the work far better than 

 when done by hand. The machine is drawn by two horses and the work is done by a driver and 

 two boys, who do the operating. It plants one row at a time and can transplant from 4 to 6 acres a 

 day, according to the distance between plants and the skill of the droppers. The rows may be 30 

 inches apart or as much wider as desired. One foot apart in the rows is about as close as ordinary 

 operators can transplant, but when expert, they can operate fast enough for celery. 



For tomato, cabbage, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, strawberries, tobacco and small nursery 

 plants, etc., or any plants that do not require to be planted closer than 1 foot.the machine works 

 to perfection, and for extensive truckers, etc., it will pay for itself several times in one season. 

 Plants may be set deep or shallow, and the quantity of water to each regulated from 1 to 6 barrels 

 an acre. An automatic check valve or water trip lets water through a hose extending in behind the 

 shoe or furrower, just before setting the plants. Roots are not doubled up as in hand planting 

 plants start to grow quicker, mature more evenly, and the grower is independent of labor and has 

 no lame back; — no delay in planting on account of dry weather. Plants are set straight, allowing 

 closer and quicker cultivation. It is easy of draft and a thoroughly good machine in every respect 

 and will last a lifetime. 



This Transplanter has been fully tested on all kinds of soil, and can be operated and worked 

 satisfactorily on any ground on which you wish to transplant tobacco, cabbage, celery tomatoes, 

 etc., and is guaranteed to do the work. 



Price (net), $48.00, or with Fertilizer Attachment, $57.00. 



KEMPS MANURE SPREADER. 



Spreads manure evenly. 



Breaks it up finely. 



Makes manure go further. 



■4'-n 



Every farmer knows that fine manure will produce better 

 results than coarse manure; it is more valuable when fine, 

 because in that condition it approaches more nearly the solu- 

 tion—the actual form of plant food. The Kemp Manure 

 Spreader pulverizes and makes fine all kinds of manure and 

 spreads it evenly upon the land in any desired quantity per 

 acre; it will spread very coarse manure, corn-stalks, chaff, 

 sawdust or such other substances as are intended for mulch- 

 ing; it will also spread lime, wood ashes, coal ashes, marl, 

 plaster, salt or any substance intended for use as manure. 



It will also distribute manure, lime, ashes, cottonseed, 

 cotton-seed hulls, and commercial fertilizers in trenches 

 or drills, better, quicker and more economical than can 

 possibly be done by hand.
