THE IMPROVED TIGER TRANSPLANTER

 PI.ANTS 



It isn't necessary today to 

 convince any intelligent farmer 

 who grows tobacco, cabbage, 

 tomatoes, strawberries, sweet 

 potatoes, nursery stock — any 

 kind of plants that require 

 transplanting — that it paj's to 

 use a good transplanter. It is 

 now generally known that 

 plants transplanted when the 

 ground is dry have a more 

 rapid growth and are stronger 

 and healthier than those trans- 

 planted when there is a season 

 in the ground. 



With a Massey-Harris Trans- 

 planter you can set your 

 plants when they are just the 

 right size. You know the dan- 

 ger of transplanting when 

 plants get too large on account 

 of waiting for a season. You 

 can't afford to run that risk. 



You avoid tramping and 

 packing the ground around the 

 newly set plant. 



You avoid putting the water 

 on top of the ground, which 

 causes the ground to bake and 

 crack and you don't have to 

 hoe around the plants, as you 

 have to when you water them 

 by hand. 



You can pack the soil around the roots, so that the plant gets a good start in life.

The pressure lever, within convenient reach of either of the plant setters, controls the pressure of the press wheels in 

 pressing the earth about the roots of the plant. 



ADJVSTABI.E WATER STTPPIiV 



The water supply is easily and quickly adjusted by a guide through which the trip rod passes. Raising the guide in- 

 creases the flow of water, lowering it lessens the flow. 



Deep, medium or shallow runners can be furnished. The runner is forced into the ground by a powerful spring attached 

 to the raising lever, and can be set at depth desired. PRICE, $93.50. Additional for Double Wheel Pore Truck for Planting 

 Sweet Potatoes, $10.50. Fertilizer Attachment, $18.00. 



RODERICK LEAN ROTARY HOE 



WITH CUI.TIVATI1TG DEPTH 

 REGXTIiATED FROM SEAT 



The Roderick Lean Rotary Hoe 

 will cut your cultivating costs in 

 half. Any boy with a team and 

 a Roderick Lean Rotary Hoe can 



. ' — — j I jp i~ --^ — '^r—^ cultivate and weed as many acres 



_«0Ilf;lltr,K%i;,\»( if in a clay's time as can two men 



— i.t— . ,nnd two teams using other types 



]'»f cultivating machines. 



Because it is light draft, easy to 

 handle and covers so much more 

 ground in a day's time, it can be 

 used frequently and effectively 

 during that critical time when the 

 / crop is just getting its growth, 



/ and when proper cultivation and 



weed control mean the most. 



ftVI»5\." I This Roderick Lean Rotary Hoe 



■vf is the most advanced type of ro- 



[i\ '■ ' tary hoe. It is the first machine 



_ - »M\iM\-u u ■ '^^ kind to be equipped with a 



l^k^V' ' ^ f fl vf \j 'a f ^ positive depth regulating device 



*A f » controlling working depth of the 



^ spider wheels, and operated from 



the seat of the machine without 

 stopping or dismounting. Two 

 easily-turned regulating cranks, 

 one for each side of the machine, equipped with universal joints and engaging heavy worm gears in malleable ratchets, raise 

 and lower both front and rear spider wheels at once. No heavy, unwieldy levers to pull — no stops, no delays. The spider 

 wheels cannot be forced out of the ground, regardless of conditions or speed. When raised for transporting they cannot drop. 



Another valuable feature on the Roderick Lean Rotary Hoe is its floating pole, which moves freely up and down indepen- 

 dently of the machine and thus relieves the horses of neck-weight. This arrangement also eliminates the necessity and the 

 extra expense for a foretruck. Without a foretruck, the transporting or depth gauge wheels are free to follow the contour 

 of the ground at all times, and being in line with the spider wheels, the entire machine always cultivates at even depth, re- 

 gardless of the condition of the ground. 



The entire machine is built in the most substantial way, to render years of good service. Split wood bearings at the ends 

 of gangs greatly simplify replacement of worn parts. Three bolts will release bearings at end of any gang.
