HENCH $ DROMGOLD S CORN PLANTERS. 



STEEL FRAME SINGLE ROW PLANTER WITH FERTILIZER ATTACHMENT. 



The Corn-Dropping arrangement is very simple : 

 and positive in action. 



The Fertilizer Sower has an agitator, which pre- 

 vents the fertilizer from arching in the box, and will 

 sow regularly any quantity from 100 to 400 pounds 

 per acre. 



Four Rings or Dropping Dies are furnished with 

 each Planter ; two with small and two with large 

 holes, dropping one grain at a place and equal dis- 

 tance, apart, and two with large and two with small 

 holes for dropping two grains in a hill. 



Three Chain Wheels are furnished with plain 

 Planter and four with fertilizer. The six-point 

 chain wheel drops one grain 13 inches or two grains 

 26 inches apart. The seven-point drops one grain 15 

 Inches or two grains 30 inches apart. The eight- 

 joint wheel drops one grain 17 inches or two grains 

 4 inches apart. The nine-point wheel drops one 

 grain 19 Inches or two grains 38 inches apart. We 

 can also furnish rings for planting Peas, Beans, 

 Ensilage Corn or any kind of seeds, and by using the 

 different chain wheels can plant any desired amount.

 Fertilizer Attachment 



The 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 sections the concave 

 wheel is preferable for rolling or pressing the 

 ground down on the com. 



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 any 

 corn, and is more durable. We, however, can fur- 

 nish the brush block with any of the Planters If so 

 ordered. 



THESE PLANTERS (FIGS. 28 B. AND 

 27 B.) CAN BE FURNISHED EITHER 

 WITH RUNNER OR PLOW FOR OPENING 

 FURROW, AND WITH EITHER DOUBLE 

 OR CONCAVE WHEEL. ALSO BOTH 

 WITH AND WITHOUT FERTILIZER AT- 

 TACHMENT. READ THIS CAREFULLY, 

 AND ALWAYS SPECIFY THE STYLE} 

 WANTED.

In all of these Planters the top part of corn-box Is 

 made of heavy sheet iron, riveted to a cast ring 

 which is hinged to the bottom, and by loosening one 

 thumb-nut can be turned to the side and the rings 

 changed and the bottom cleaned out nicely. 



On all machines where fertilizer attachments are 

 used the fertilizer box sets lower on the frame, has 

 less number of pieces, less complicated and the most 

 positive force reed of any Planter on the market ; 

 insures uniform distribution, whether dry or damp. 

 Will sow from 20 pounds to 450 pounds per acre, and 

 If a larger quantity is wanted use the five-point 

 chain wheel, and it will sow 525 pounds per acre. 

 NOTE. — If the rows are marked out closer than three 

 feet six inches, it will sow more per acre.

The Leader Hand 

 Corn Planter. 



Will plant seeds ranging in size from Pop Corn to 

 large Kidney Beans, and never skips a hill. Has a 

 sheet brass seed cut-off. Does not injure the grain. A 

 Planter that is first-class in material, finish and work- 

 manship, and built for wear. Price $1.25. 



The Gordon Automatic 

 Hand Corn Planter. 



ITS ROTARY SLIDE has a motion two ways— back 

 and forth. It prevents skips. No matter how short the 

 stroke, the pocket is pushed into the corn and back into 

 the conveyor tube. 



This motion is positive. It breaks up all bridging an 

 fills the pocket uniformly— It counts the kernels for 

 each drop. 



THE IRON STRIPPER will not wear out or 

 break. It prevents an overdose of corn, and will not 

 crack a kernel. The entire dropping device is made of 

 iron, held together by three bolts. All parts are easily^ 

 accessible and readily adjusted. 



THE HOPPER IS IN LINE WITH 

 THE CENTER. There is a double-coil 

 spring on each side, and the Planter hangs 

 well in the hand. The material is all the 

 best. The Planter is finished with a selected 

 hardwood frame, finished bright, a brilliantly 

 painted hopper and all parts varnished. 

 PRICE, $1.50. 



American 



Hand Corn Planters. 



Are fitted with Sheffield's famous patent adjustable seed disc and spring 

 brass cut-off. The disc revolves similar to disc used in horse planters, and 

 is one of the best finished and most accurate dropping discs ever used in 

 corn planters of any description. Price, $1.75.
