The "PLANET, JR." Hand Power Hill and DriU Seeders 



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

 time required by hand and be done far better, producing a more even crop and with a great saving of seed; 

 pers" there is also a great additional saving of labor in thinning, and the seed being sown in an even narrow ' 

 hoe cultivation and hoeing to be done closer to the plants thus reducing hand labor to a minimum. We 

 lieve that even after forty years of pushing on our part, hand seeders and wheel hoes are not yet a& 

 preciated as they should be; are not used by one-half the people that would find them to pay for 

 themselves in a short time. 

 The "Planet Jr." Hill and Drill Seeders are the very best hand-power seed planters in the 

 world. Improvement after improvement has been adopted as suggested during an ex- 

 perience 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, C, 8, 12 or 24 in- 

 ches. 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 in- 

 stantlyshut j 

 off, thus 

 preventing 

 waste when 

 turning the 

 end of the 

 row. These 

 seeders are 

 light in operation, stron :, simple and do not get out of order.

No. 29 

 Combined Hill and Drill 



Seeder 



It is the most accurate seeder in 

 action and the nearest perfect in 

 construction that we have ever 

 offered. Accuracy of construction 

 makes for accuracy in operation 

 and it saves seed and labor, and 

 insures an even stand of plants 

 and a correspondingly satisfactory crop. 



As a Seeder, it drops all garden seeds in hills, 4, 0, 8, 12 or 24 inches apart, 

 or sows them in drills with accuracy, opening the furrow, covering, rolling 

 down and marking the next row all at once. The seeds drop in full sight of 

 the operator, the re:ir of the spout being open and white 



Accurate castings for the vital parts of the seeding devices are made of 



special metal, and by the latest improved methods in the art, and have enabled 



us to produce a tool more accurate in construction and in operation tlrarr 



anything we could offer before. < »ur new method of delivering the seed from 



the hopper is BUperior to airy that we have heretofore trsed, and 



the regularity obtained is gratifying. In extensive field trials 



on one large market garden, where 100 acres of onions are 



sown annually by Planet Jr. Seeders, No. 28, sowed 



with such perfection as to call forth unqualified 



approval. 



We recommend it, therefcre, as our very best 



seeder. The wheel is steel, IS inches high, 



broad tire, making a light-running tool.

The index is the most 

 accurate and convenient we 

 have ever made, and it enables 

 one to make the slightest changes 

 in thickness without waste of seed, 

 for it can be set while the opening in 

 the bottom of the hopper is closed. 

 In turning at the ends of the rows, the 

 flow of seeds is stoppeil automatically 

 by raising the handles. The sowing may be stopped also by the index lever 

 upon starting, no new setting of the index is required. Price, $22.00. 



Planet Jr. Plain Cultivator, No. 101 



This five-tooth cultivator is the "latest word" in 

 design. The lever, instead of standing perpendicular, 

 slants backward between the handles and prevents 

 injury to crops under cultivation. The design is of 

 extreme simplicity; it is strong and easily 

 handled, and has so few parts there is 

 little danger of its ever getting out of 

 order.

The "Henderson" Hand Garden Plow, 

 Furrower, Hiller and Scuffle Hoe 



This is one of the handiest garden tools ever used, very light (weighs only 

 20 pounds), but strongly made and finely finished; adjustable frame. It is 

 equipped with a plow, suitable for opening and covering furrows, hilling 

 celery, potatoes, etc., and for plowing under the accunrulations in a poultry 

 yard it is very useful. The Scuffle Hoe cuts off weeds below the surface and 

 loosens the surface of the soil; it is also fine for 

 cleaning walks; the seed furrow opening tooth 

 is also very useful for its purpose. The rake 

 attachment will level and fine the soil in 

 preparing seed beds, and is a useful attach- 

 ment for killing small weeds and surface 

 cultivation. Price, complete, as shown in the 

 cut, $6.25.
