 of order. Send for 1893 Illustrated, Descriptive Catalogues. Free. 



THE "FL/INET JR." HILL bROFFINQ Q/IRDEN DRILL. 



This Drill will sow in hills with perfect accuracy as well as in rows. It will sow all kinds of garden seeds from Peas 

 and Beans down to Celery. It opens, sows, covers, rolls down and marks the next row, all at one operation. The machine 

 holds two quarts and is adapted for all conditions of land, working especially well in fresh ground or when planting on a 



ridge, as it has two 15-inch driving wheels placed six inches apart 

 This construction insures that the furrow for the seed will be 

 opened at an even depth, and also that the covering will be 

 regular, the plows being adjusUble and not interfered with by the 

 wheel track. 



Other Drills having an upright seed hopper and a discharge 

 hole in the bottom, invariably sow varying amounts of seed as the 

 hopper IS full, half -full or nearly empty. This machine, however, 

 has a force feed in the shape of a pure rubber double screw 

 which works directly over a diamond-shaped hole in the bottom 

 of the hopper, and a metal shield regulates the feeding of the 

 contents ot the hopper to the screw, so that it runs free and dis- 

 charges m the most regular manner, whether full or containing 

 only a smgle paper of seed. 



The Drill is set for the different seeds with the gr€ 

 accuracy by a neat thumb-screw which regulates the flow by 

 means of a rod connecting the seed index or dial with the discharge 

 opening. This dial contains the names of all the principal seeds, 

 and is placed at the top of the right handle, in plain sight and within easy reach. To sow any particular seed it is only 

 necessary to move the index finger (by the thumb screw) till opposite the name of the seed to be sown. 



Price, boxed and delivered at Depot or Express Office in Detroit, Mich., $11.00. We can also supply a 

 special flow attachment for sowing onion seeds for sets, which will open several shallow furrows side by side, making a 

 band of plants about four inches wide. This attachment is an extra. Price, 50 cents. 



"PLA.NBT JR." SINGLE CBLBRY HIjLLBR. 



Absolutely indispensable to celery growers. Single machine works but one side at a time, and throws further and higher 

 than the double, and is adapted to all width rows, from two feet to ten. It also has the leaf lifter and lever expander. It is 

 the more satisfactory for the last and highest hilling, and large growers need both. The single machine is also often used where 

 the rows are so close together that there is not enough earth to complete hilling up both rows at once. The Single Hiller is 

 then used to hill very high every other row, taking away most of the earth from the alternate rows. Then when the blanched 

 row is marketed it is again used to hill up the remaining row. It is also used to bank up celery when storing in trenches for 

 winter. Price, boxed and delivered at Depot or Express Office in Detroit, Mich., $9.00. 



** Planet Jr/* Market Gardener's Horse Hoe and Pulverizer. 



An admirable tool for very fine close level culture of market garden and field crops. A 12-inch sweep, two hoes cutting 10 

 inches each and 25-inch pulverizer. At a single passage it works all rows from 18 to 32 inches. The hoes may be 

 exchanged from one side to the other, and the pulverizer may be reduced for narrow rows. The "'92 lever wheel is easily and 

 quickly adjusted to give any depth required. It is precisely what is wanted for the work of the market garden. The flat 

 sweeps and slender hoes pass easily beneath the surface, cutting off all weeds and grass, and leaving the ground almost 

 exactly where it was before, and the pulverizer then reduces the surface to the finest condition, and completely destroys all 

 weed growth. Price, complete, boxed and delivered at Depot or Express OfiQ.ce in Detroit, Mich., $9.50; 

 "Without Pulverizer, $7.50. 



**P\2iT)^i Jr." Twelve Tootb Harrow, Cultivator Zity^ Pulverizer. 



For fine cultivation, either deep or shallow, this tool has no equal. The recurved throat and high frame prevents clogging, 

 and the reverse position given to the teeth in a short time by the changing of a single bolt in each. It is provided with a new 

 '92 lever wheel, used to regulate the depth with exactness, and also pulverizer, which leaves the ground in the finest condition. 

 The pulverizer is controlled by a lever, which can be operated in an instant by the foot while in motion. The pulverizer may 

 be reduced in width by taking off the outside teeth, and the tool may be used to straddle a row, cultivating both sides at once. 

 As a harrow the work done is most perfect. Price, complete, boxed and delivered at Depot or Express Office in 

 Detroit, Mich., $9.25; without Pulverizer, $7.50. 



THE "PLANET JR." COMBINED HILL DROPPING SEED AND FERTILIZER DRILL. 



For several years there has been a pressing demand, especially by market gardeners and onion growers, for a 

 machine which would not 

 only do all that the 

 machine just described 

 will do, but at the same 

 time sow fertilizers either 

 above or below the seed as 

 wanted and in any quan- 

 tity necessary. The 

 machine shown in this 

 cut does this work 

 perfectly. It works with 

 entire regularity whether 



there is much or little in the drill, and small heaps do not 

 interfere with its regular sowing. It holds about one peck. 

 The plows can be set to place the fertilizer either above or 

 below the seed. The amount sown is regulated accurately 

 by an index similar to that of the hill dropper, and the dis- 

 charge of both drills may be cut off or started instantly, 

 either separately or together, thus avoiding all loss at the 

 end of the ^row. This also has a force feed; a double acting 

 open metal worm discharging regularly: it is protected by 

 metal feeding shelves, which move slightlv and alternately 

 with each revolution of the screw, supplying material to it 

 with great regularity and preventing clogging in the hopper. 

 Like the Plain Hill Dropping Drill, it does not sow when drawn 



backward, and can be quickly thrown entirely out of gear. _ _ 



This machine will be a great boon to farmers and market '^^ ""^ 



gardeners.
