are invaluable. Use them points 

 furrows for manure, seed, etc., then 

 exchange sides for cover- 

 ing (see belov^). Use them 

 also for plov^ing away from, 

 or toward the crop, both 

 sides at once. It is well to 

 wait a few days between 

 the time of plowing away 

 and returning the earth to 

 the row in order that the 

 buried weeds may die.

low for ordinary work, 

 enough to enable crops to be worked until twenty inches 

 high. The handles, being attached to the arch, are not 

 affected by changes in width of wheels or height of 

 frame, and the frame is left clear of obstruction. _ The 

 wheels, our patent star design, can be set 9 or 11 inches 

 apart for wide rows, 7 inches for narrow rows, or one 

 used as a single-wheel hoe. 



FOR WORKING TALL PLANTS, set the tool 

 frames close together, one wheel between the arms, leaf 

 lifters on the outside, and you have in effect a capital 

 single-wheel hoe.

 this No. 11 is the best make of hoe there is. Everybody ought to have one who has 

 even in a garden. My wife can use it as well as I." 



E. W. TowNSENU, Salisbury, Md., writes March 5, 1912: "T have set up the Planet Jr. Wheel 

 Hoe No. 11 to-day and think it the finest tool on the farm. Will place another order soon. Every 

 man on the farm is highly pleased with the tool. One could hardly have made me believe how easy 

 it is to operate. Why, my 5-year-old boy could push it anywhere. These tools will be the saving 

 of many dollars for me."
