"PLAINT JR." tools 



These are the 

 most complete 

 Garden Tools 

 made, and have 

 long been the 

 most popular. 

 They are known 

 the world over, 

 and beyond ques- 

 tion are the most 

 perfect in design, 

 construction and 

 finish, and most 

 practical yet in- 

 vented. I offer 

 them for 1890 

 more perfect, 

 more labor-sav- 

 ing and money- 

 earning than ever 



This drill holds two and a half quarts. It sows all garden seeds accurately, any 

 desired thickness or depth : it opens, drops, covers and rolls down and marks the 

 next row, all at one passage in the most perfect and reliable manner. Its construc- 

 tion is simple: it has neither cogs, springs, chains, belts, nor shakers to wear out. 

 run bard and set out of order, nor are its stirring devices in any way dangerous to 

 the vitality of the seed. The seed hopper revolves with the w'heels, having in its 

 centre a spring brass drum, having twelve discharge openings, each of these is 

 covered b.v a bucket or shield in such a manner as to cause the drill to sown 

 single thimbleful of seed with regularity for the distance of a hundred feet, yet it 

 ■ ill sow five pound* of seed with the same perfection. The continual revolution 

 of this hopper, keeps the seed in a most perfect and loose condition and makes the 

 si iwing of such difficult seeds as, Carrot, Parsnip, Beet, Salisfy, etc., quite easy and 

 perfect. The opening covering and rolling down are automatic and perfect. The 

 plovt is directly between the wheels, and opens the furrow at a perfectly regular 

 depth, and the covering is also, for the same reason, very accurate. Seeds can be 

 put in one-eighth or one-quarter of an inch deep with entire regularity— an im- 

 portant point in the sowing of delicate varieties. The roller can be used to roll 

 light or heavy, or entirely removed. The seed index has upon it the names of the 

 principal seeds and can be set in a moment. The combination of the necessary 

 good points is so complete that I can assure my customers it will give satisfaction. 



THE " PLANET JR." COMBINED DRILL. 



Wheel Hoe. Cultivator. Rake and Plow. Price, $10.50. 



This tool is unquestionably the most popular, as it is the most perfect, machine 

 of its kind made. It is unrivaled in design, finish, convenience and capacity for 

 work. It holds one quart. All the blades are steel, hardened in oil, tempered and 

 polished. The curved Rakes are invaluable in preparing ground for planting, and 

 tor delicate after-cultivation of the crops, and for covering seeds, etc. The HOES 

 work closely and safely— both sides of the row at once— when plants are small, and 

 between them when large, working all rows up to sixteen inches wide at one pas- 

 sing-, leaving the ground nearly level. The FLOW opens furrows, covers them, 

 hills, plows to and from, etc. in small gardens, where a horse is seldom used, it is 

 invaluable for working the coarser cr.jps, such as Corn, Cabbage, Potatoes, Celery. 



The CULTIVATO 1 * teeth are admirably adapted to deep mellowing ot the 

 soil. The two narrow teeth can be used for marking out two rows at once, up to 

 eigbt inches apart : this combined tool is the nearest approach to perfection for the 

 use of a gardener, that can well be devised. Its various accomplishments were 

 the result of careful study and mechanical ingenuity upon the part of the Inventor, 

 who could never have succeeded with it but for practical familiarity with garden 

 tools in actual works. As a seed drill it is the same as the No. 2. 



THE ' PLANET JR." DOUBLE WHEEL HOE. Price, $7.00. 



A 11 the blades are hardened in oil, tempered and polished. The tool is especi- 

 ally adapted to save the labor of the Market Gardener, Onion Grower, Nurseryman 

 and Root Grower. The changes from one form to another are simple and easily, 

 and quickly marie, and changes in depth or width also. The tool is light and 

 strong, can be used by man or hoy and in much of the most tedious and particular 



work it does as much as six to ten men with the common hand hoe. You can hoe 

 or plow to or from, cultivate, rake, etc., deep or shallow, safely when plants are 

 Just coming through the ground, and uutil they are fifteen inches high ; and all the 

 lime both sides at once or between the rows at the speed ef a moderate walk. The 

 Hakes level the ground for planting, gather stones and trash, cultivate plants 

 when small, cover seeds, etc. 1'he Hoes cut close ami clean, killing everything 

 they meet, leaving the ground level. The Cultivator teeth mellow the soil deep 

 or shallow, and are useful for marking out rows for plants, seeds, sets, etc. The 

 Plows lay out deep furrows and cover them and hill up or plow away as desired. 

 The leaf guards are Just the thing needed when hoeing large plants, such as 

 beets, carrots. parsnips, bean3 and peas, enabling you to cultivate tnem perfectly 

 when otherwise the leaves would be torn oll'aud the plant seriously injured. 



THE " PLANET JR." DOUBLE WHEEL HOE. 

 Cultivator, Rake and Plow combined. Price $7.00. 



THE "PLANET JR." SINGLE WHEEL HOE. 

 Cultivator, Rake and Plow combined. Price. $5.50. 



Great strength, easy running, simple combinations and variety of attachments, 

 are striking features ot this favorite for the season of '90. The wheel has an extra 

 broad face, and is readily raised or lowered, and can be attached at one side of the 

 frame, so that one can cultivate both sides of a row of small plants at one passage. 

 As with the Double Wheel Hoe, the rakes level the ground, gather trash, cultivate, 

 etc. The curved hoes work close and safely, deep or shallow, and the sweeps hoe 

 neatly and thoroughly, cutting clean and killing all they reach ; while the plow 

 opens furrows, covers and plows to or from as desired ; the cultivator blades work 

 well in combination with the sweeps, and mark out rows for garden crops, while 

 the leaf-guard is invaluable for work among large plants. All rows from six to 

 eighteen inches apart can be perfectly hoed at one passage, and this tool, though 

 not as well adapted to large fields of garden crops as the Double Wheel Hoe. is still 

 a great favorite with many for that class of work. For the home vegetable garden 

 its work is exactly what is needed for the easy cultivation of crops without the aid 

 of a horse. Its lightness, strength and simplicity recommend it to all. 



THE " FIRE-FLY " WHEEL GARDEN PLOW. Price, $2.00. 

 To be appreciated, this little labor-saver must be seen in actual work. Its 

 cost Is soon saved in a family vegetable garden, even if but twenty feet square. 



By going twice in each furrow the 

 ground can be plowed up in the Spring 

 ready for planting. Then the tool can 

 be used to open shallow or deep fur- 

 rows for various crops. These can th, n 

 he covered with it. When the plants 

 appear above the surface, the little Fire 

 Ply can be used to plow or hoe away 

 from each side of the row, and alterthe 

 w eeds directly in the row have been re- 

 moved by hand, the earth can neatly 

 be thrown back again, working deep or 

 shallow as each particular crop de- 

 mands. It takes the placeofthenor.se 

 plow and cultivator, requiring no 

 headlands to turn upon. In many gar- 

 dens it will save its cost twice a vear.
