Planet Jr. Farm and Garden Tools 



Seeds, no matter how good, cannot grow 

 without proper care. Plant them at the 

 proper depth and properly spaced in nar- 

 row rows. Keep the ground loosened up 

 around your growing plants, to retain the 

 moisture and above all kill the weeds before 



No. 4 Planet Jr. Combined Hill and 

 Drill Seeder, Wheel 

 Hoe, Cultivator 

 and Plow 



^'^^^^ Price, complete, $18.00 



Weight, 50 lbs. 

 As a Seeder only 

 (No. 4D), $14.25 



Holds 2'/2 quarts 

 of seed. 



The No. 4 is a combination of the most useful tools for a 

 home garden. Plants almost all vegetable seed in continuous 

 rows or in hills 4, 6, 8, 12 or 24 inches apart. A plow adjust- 

 able for depth opens a straight narrow furrow, the seeds are 

 dropped in it, ai-e covered and the soil firmed and the next 

 row marked out all in the same operation. Converted into a 

 Single Wheel Hoe by changing one bolt. Cultivating equip- 

 ment includes the most useful attachments — hoes for weed- 

 ing and shallow cultivation — cultivator teeth for deeper and 

 general cultivation — and the plow for furrowing and ridging.

 landside for hilling, furrowing, ridging and plowing. Light 

 and easy to handle. All steel — unbreakable. 



Planet Jr. Tractor 



The Plan- 

 et Jr. is 

 'an accur- 

 ate, effi- 

 cient and easily 

 operated culti- 

 vator and a 

 sturdy depend- 

 able all purpose 

 garden tractor. 

 It is a favorite 

 among market 

 gardeners who 

 use it p r i n c i- 

 pally for culti- 

 vating narrow 

 row vegetable crops because it can be guided so delicately 

 that extremely close cultivation is possible even in very 

 young plants. This saves hand work. And it handles so 

 easily that an operator can use it all day long without getting 

 tired and his speed is several times that of hand cultivators. 

 The Planet Jr. is heavy enough, however, to give sufficient 

 traction for a real job of plowing, harrowing, etc. A wide 

 variety of other attachments are available for use with the 

 Planet Jr. These include a three-row seeder attachment, 

 discs, Acme and spike tooth harrow, plank drag, spraying at- 

 tachment, lawn mower, field mower, etc. Type A-T, Heavv 

 Duty, $317,00. Type A-B, $250.00, delivered, Washington, D. C.

 tions. The patented leaf lifters are adjustable for depth.
