COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL. 



THE "PLANET JR." SINGLE WHEEL HOE. 



CULTIVATOR, RAKE AND PLOW COMBINED. 



In remodeling this tool care has been taken to combine extreme lightness, great strength, 

 variety of tools, and a gfeat adjustability. It has one ]jair of garden rakes, two scuffle 

 hoes, three reversible cuUivaLor teeth, a large garden plow, leaf guards and new 

 broad faced wheel. All the blades are tempered and polished steel. This tool is pro- 

 nounced by practical men as without an equal in beauty of design and finish, ease 

 of operation, quality of work, and variety of adjustment, and in this improved 

 form is, unquestionably, the lightest running, the most convenient and 

 practical Single Wheel Hoe known. 



The form of the blades is superior to all other shapes, insuring a for- 

 ward slanting cut next to the plant, and consequent close work. 

 without danger, and at the same time, thorough cultivation oj 

 the soil. The rakes and cultivator teeth, in combination with 

 the hoes and plow, enable the operator to perlorm almost 

 every variety of work, either in the field or garden. A 

 leaf guard (detachable) is very useful in late hoe- 

 ing. All rows, from six to eighteen inches apart, 

 can be perfectly hoed at one passage. The 

 frame allows every desirable adjustment, is 

 quickly raised or lowered to regulate 

 depth, and the wheel can be attached cen- 

 trally ov at one side of the machine, giv- 

 ing the operator the important adiuntage 

 of hoeing both sides of the row at one 

 passage when desired. Price, boxed, 

 $6.00. 



THE 



FIRE-FLY" SINGLE WHEEL, HOE 

 CULTIVATOR AND PLOW. 



This convient tool has rapidly convinced practical gardeners of its high merits. 

 It is also remodeled, and has the broad-faced wheel. It combines lightness and 

 strength with the greatest adjustability, while its highly polished and tem- 

 pered steel tools make gardening comparatively a pleasure. The tools are 

 all made after the mos-t perfect models and are, first, a pair of admir- 

 able hoes wMch can be set to work to or from the row and to any de- 

 sired depth. Kext, a set of three reversable teeth to be used to- 

 gether or singly or in conjunction with the hoes. Third, a lar^ge 

 excellent garden plow. The whole tool is 

 light and strong, attractive in appearance, 

 and capdbie of standing hard usage for 

 years, while the price is its final recom- 

 mendation. 



Price, boxed $5.00.

*plaNet jr." horse hoe and cultivator combined^ 



No tool which has ever been offered to the American 

 public has so rapidly gained in favor as the "Planet Jr." 

 Hollow Steel Standard Horse Hoe and Cultivator combined. 



Its host of friends will be delighted with its improve- 

 ments for 1890. Its new patented features are absolutely 

 guaranteed to please practical farmers and gardeners. 



It is made entirely of iron and steel except the handles, 

 and has an expanding frame, which can be closed to five 

 inches or opened to twenty-four, and is provided with such a 

 variety of adjustable teeth as enables it to do all kinds of 

 one horse cultivation. 



For all crops that are hoed by hand it is valuable, pre- 

 ceding the hand hoe, and saving three-fourths of the work ^ — VM-<«-.wi--\'j-= .-:=j*«i:=s - 

 For all crops hilled, and very few are not, nothing can exceed the perfection and ease with which this tool per- 

 forms the work, breaking up the soil perfectly, and hilling the crop much or little as desired "For level cul- 

 ture," so desirable for some soils, it is equally well adapted. 



As an opening plow it is invaluable for making furrows for potatoes, corn and all other crops. As a coverer 

 it has no equal for corn, broom corn, potatoes, and in fact every kind of covering, as it covers and rolls down the 

 ground at one operation, in ordinary field work, or fits for setting out plants or for using the garden seed drill 

 and wheel hoe. Every complete machine has a set of eight attachments adapted to all kinds of work. 

 Price complete as above with wheel, $10; same without wheel, $9.
