The 'Tlanet, Jr." Hand Power Hill and Drill Seeders. 



A good Seeder is one of the most important of garden and farm implements; with it the seeding may be done 

 In one-fourth of the time required by hand and be done far better, producing a more even crop and with a great 

 saving of seed; with the " hill droppers " there is also a great additional saving of labor in thinning, and the 

 seed being sown in an even narrow line enables wheel hoe cultivation and hoeing to be done closer to the plants, 

 thus reducing hand labor to a minimum. We believe that even after forty years of pushing on our part, hand 

 seeders and wheel hoes are not yet appreciated as they should 



be; are not used by one- 

 half the people that would 

 find them to pay for them- 

 selves in a short time.

The "Planet Jr." 

 Hill and Drill 

 Seeders are the 

 very best hand- 

 power seed plant- 

 ers in the world. 

 Improvement after 

 improvement ha3 

 been adopted as 

 suggested during 

 an experience of 40 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 operators, 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 24 inches. They 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:
