Planet Jr. Farm and Garden Tools 



Seeds, no matter how good, cannot grow 

 without proper care. Plant them at the 

 proper depth and properly spaced in nar- 

 row rows. Keep the ground loosened up 

 around your growing plants, to retain the 

 moisture and above all kill the weeds before

they get a start. The best gardeners are

 PLANET JR. GARDEN TOOLS have been

 gardeners all over the world for more than 

 sixty years. 



The New Planet Jr. Speedhoe 



10-inch 

 $8.00 



Price, complete, $16.25 

 Weight, 50 lbs. 



As a Seeder only 

 (No. 4D), $13.00 



Holds 2'/2 quarts 

 of seed. 



The No. 4 is a combination of the most useful tools for a 

 home garden. Plants almost all vegetable seed in continuous 

 rows or in hills 4, 6, 8, 12 or 24 inches apart. A plow adjust- 

 able for depth opens a straight narrow furrow, the seeds are 

 dropped in it, are covered and the soil firmed and the next 

 row marked out all in the same operation. Converted into s 

 Single Wheel Hoe by changing one bolt. Cultivating equip- 

 ment includes the most useful attachments — hoes for weed- 

 ing and shallow cultivation — cultivator teeth for deeper and 

 general cultivation — and the plow for furrowing and ridging.

Steel Frame— 16-inch Steel Wheel. 

 Price, 7.00 



Very popular because 

 equipment includes just 

 the attachments needed 

 in the average garden. A 

 pair of 6-inch hoes for 

 weeding and shallow cul- 

 tivation, three cultivator 

 teeth for deeper and general cultivation and a plow with 

 landside for hilling, furrowing, ridging and plowing. Light 

 and easy to handle. All steel — unbreakable. 



Planet Jr. Tractor 



The Plan- 

 et Jr. is 

 an accur- 

 a t e, effi- 

 cient and easily 

 operated culti- 

 vator and a 

 sturdy depend- 

 able all purpose 

 garden tractor. 

 It is a favorite 

 among market 

 gardeners who 

 use it p r i n c i- 

 pally for culti- 

 vating narrow 

 row vegetable crops because it can be guided so delicately 

 that extremely close cultivation is possible even in very 

 young plants. This saves hand work. And it handles so 

 easily that an operator can use it all day long without getting 

 tired and his speed is several times that of hand cultivators. 

 The Planet Jr. is heavy enough, however, to give suflficient 

 traction for a real job of plowing, harrowing, etc. A wide 

 variety of other attachments are available for use with the 

 Planet Jr. These include a three-row seeder attachment, 

 discs, Acme and spike tooth harrow, plank drag, spraying at- 

 tachment, lawn mower, field mower, etc. Type A-T, Heavy 

 Duty, $317.00. Type A-B, $250.00, delivered, Washington, D. C. 



For quick, easy thorough gar- 

 dening the new "Speedhoe" is effi- 

 ciency itself. The rotating blades 

 crumble the lumps and leave a moisture- 

 retaining mulch, while the scuffle blade 

 gets all the weeds. 



Reversed, the cultivator teeth do thor- 

 ough deeper cultivation. They are scientifically designed to 

 penetrate the soil easily and are hardened and tempered for 

 long wear. 



The Speedhoe is made entirely of steel and is completely 

 adjustable to suit the operator or varying growing condi- 

 tions. The patented leaf lifters are adjustable for depth. 

 The handles adjustable for height. The scuffle blade is ad- 

 justable for depth and pitch. The cultivator teeth are ad- 

 justable in or out, and other Planet Jr. hand tool attachments 

 can be used. (Plows, rakes, hoe blades, narrow cultivator 

 teeth, etc.)

M 



Completely 

 equipped 

 Horse Hoe, 

 light weight, 

 straight run- 

 n i n g, and 

 easily h a n- 

 dled. Culti- 

 vator teeth 

 are of high 

 carbon bev- 

 eled steel, thereby making them self-sharpening, and the 

 point retains its shape, greatly prolonging the life of the 

 steel. Patent hillers are reversible for hoeing or hilling. 

 Can be run close to the plants without endangering the roots.
