The New " Planet Jr." Hill and Drill Seeders are the very best 

 band power seed planters in the world. Improvement after ira- 

 pro's-ement has been adopted as suggested during an experience of 

 25 years in their manufacture, until they are now far in advance of 

 any other Seeders and without a rival. These seeders at the will of 

 the operator, either sow seeds in a continuous drill, thick or thin 

 shallow or deep, or they may be instantly set to plant any desired 

 quantity of seeds at any of the following regular distances apart; 

 4. 6, 8, 12 or 2-1 inches; th°y open the furrow, drop the seed, cover 

 and roll it and mark the next row at one operation and as fast as a 

 man can walk. The flow of seed may be instantly shut off. thus 

 preventing waste, when turning the end of the row. These Seeders 

 are light in operation, strong, simple, and do not get out of order. 



To illustrate their usefulness, here is a list of some of the seeds, all 

 of which these seeders will sow in either hills or drills: 



Asparagus, 



Cucumber, 



Onion for Bulbs, 



Ruta Baga 



Bean, 



Endive, 



Onion for Sets,

 popular. Combining, as they do, in a single implement both the 

 seeding and the hoeing, cultivating and other attachments. The

These older " Planets " are still so popular with those who know 

 them that we still offer them as among the best seeders, where hill- 

 dropping is not required for the Nos. 1 and 2 sow only in a continuous 

 row. They are very reliable and simple, and are easily regulated to 

 sow all kinds of garden seeds from the smallest to peas and beans, thick 

 or thin, shallow or deep: they open the furrow drop the seed, cover it, 

 roll it and mark the next row in one operation, and as fast as a maa 

 can walk.
