Planet Jr. Combined Drill and Wheel Eoe. 



THE PLANET JUNIOR SEED DRILLS AND WHEEL HOES. 



These exccllciil touls are of tlu" newo^^t aiid most impr()V(>(l construction, combining 

 all the 5^00(1 points ol the original " IManets " with new and valuable features, and are 

 simple, compact and strong, wnrkivg well in all soils. 



The hopper revolves Avith the carrying wheels, preventing clogging so usual iu 

 upright hoppers ; the holes can be 



minutely adjusted all together, and ^-^ 



eacli is covered by a patent shield, 

 discharging only af(''r reaching Ihe 

 bottom, insuring regular dropping, 

 the plow works between the carrying 

 wheels, opening just at the depth set ; 

 the plow throwing the earth upon the 

 wheels, which continually return it 

 exactly on top of tlie seed. 



They sow perfectly all garden and 

 small nursery seeds, never clog, drop 

 evenly, cover with perfect regularity, 

 roll down light or heavy, mark the 

 next row, and turn at the ends on the 

 roller without pausing or sowing. 

 The Combined Machine holds one 

 quart; No. 2 holds two quarts, and is 

 very i>erfect and ample in all its pro- 

 portions. 



The Combined Machine becomes a 

 Wheel Hoe by removinii one bolt. It has two pairs of interchangeable tempered steel 

 hoes, one for delicate work close to the plants, leaving the ground level ; the other for 

 throwing heavy furrows to or from the row. At the first tending, the machine works 

 as a double-wheel hoe, afterwards only between the rows. It has a sub-soiler and 

 shovel-plow for deep stirring, for opening di'ills fur Potatoes, Corn, Beans, etc. Onion 

 growers can sow their crop any depth, 

 Avidth or thickness, and do also all 

 the hoeing, with surprising ease, 

 rapidity and perfection. No vegeta- 

 ble garden, however small, should bo 

 without one. 



No. 3 is invaluable as a fertilizer 

 sower, and for dropjiing large seeds, 

 saving cost in a few days' use. — Gal- 

 vanized, holding a half bushel. 



The Double Wheel Hoe will do the 

 work of six men with hand hoes, 

 among Market Garden and Root 

 Crops, and small Nursery Stock, ^fin- 

 ishing perfectly both sides of the row 

 at once, working to or from it, deep 

 or shallow, closer and far better than 

 by hand, and also between the rows 

 when desired. The arch allows 

 w^orking the crop \intil twelve inches 

 high, both sides at once. Each ma- 

 chine has three pairs (;f exchangeable temperejt steel hoes, and a pair of sub-soilers; will 

 work in almost any way desired, all rows from G in. to 18 in. wide. Full directions 

 for use accompany each machine. Descriptive circulars will be mailed on application.
