Single R-ow PlaLiiter With Shoe 



PRICES SAME AS FIG. 38 B. 



The annexed cut illustrates our Single Row 

 Corn Planter with shoe for opening furrow in 

 soft, mellow soil. This is preferred by many ovei 

 the other styles. We furnish this Planter when 

 ordered at the same price, either with single con- 

 cave wheel or with double wheels, as shown Id 

 Fig. 38 B. In nrderinif the Planters please state 

 the figure as well as name, and svhether wanted 

 with double concave wheel. 



] a all of these Planters the top part of corn, 

 box is made of heavy sheet-iron,riveted to a cast 

 ring whii h is hinired to the bottom, and by loosen- 

 ing one thumb-ijut, can be turned to the side and 

 the rings changed, and the bottom cleaned out 

 nicely. 



On all machines where fertilizer attachment* 

 are used the fertilizer box sets lower on the frame, 

 l as less number of pieces, less complicated and 

 the most positive force feed of any Planter on the 

 market; insures uniform distribution, whether 

 dry or dump. Will sow from 20 pounds to 450 

 pounds per acre, and if a larger quantity is want- 

 ed, use the five-point chain wheel and it will sow 

 o;i5 pounds per acre. 



NOTE.— If the rows are marked out closei 

 than three feet six inches, it will sow more per acre. 



SINGLE ROW PLANTER. 



*HE CUT represents our Single Row Corn 

 Planter with corn-box In rear and is sold 

 largely in some sections. 



It has the same dropping device and fertilizer feed as our other 

 Planter. We furnish them with double or concave wheel. In some 

 BBOtions the concave wheelis preferable for rolling or pressing the 

 If round down on the corn. 



Showing Corrv-Box in the 

 Rear With Fertilizer 

 Attachment. 



All the Planters we make have the spring trip cut-off in the corn hopper 

 Instead of the brush. This is preferable to the brush, as It does not break 

 ttny corn, and is more durable. We, however, can fiurnish the brush block 

 with any of the Planters if so ordered.
