WHEEL HOES 



20 



Planet Jr. Wheel Hoes are used by seed growers in this and many 

 foreign countries. 



DOUBLE AND SINGLE WHEEL HOES 



WHEEL HOES are companion implements to the seeder, but usually pay for 

 themselves more quickly. Indeed, many people who can scarcely be recom- 

 mended to invest in a seeder, may be very properly advised to buy a wheel hoe. 

 Xo one who has even a small family vegetable garden can afford to be without a 

 Planet Jr. Wheel Hoe if his time is at all valuable. For example, a dozen rows 50 to 

 100 feet long of different vegetables, may be worked beautifvlly in one-half hour. 



Our field scenes will be of interest as showing how the tools are appreciated, both 

 at home and abroad ; in fact, wherever thorough, rapid hand work is required. 



If you have never used any of these tools, rest assured that the saving and satis- 

 faction are enormous. They will do all they are recommended to do : hoeing, cultivat- 

 ing or plowing both sides of a row at once or all the space between two rows at one 

 passage at the speed of a moderate walk. By using these labor-saving tools, growers 

 may safely plant and easily cultivate four times the acreage that they otherwise could 

 do. For example, with onion rows twelve inches apart a man can hoe about 2 acres 

 a day; or if not vrishing to increase the amount grown, the time and money saved by 

 the use of wheel hoes soon quickly repay their cost. 



We make them single and double wheel, with various attachments, and also in 

 combination with seeders, as shown on previous pages. We recommend the lower- 

 priced and smaller tools for very small gardens. They are especially gotten up for such 

 t^io^pg^ while the more expensive ones, more fully equipped with tools, are intended for 



a greater variety of work and are suitable for the 

 largest market-gardens and farms. 



The greatest improvement perhaps that we have 

 made for a long time in wheel hoes is the introduction 

 of steel frames and wheel arms. They make the 

 tools almost indestructible, yet lighter and more con= 

 venient than the old style cast frames.
