HAND SEEDERS is 



The No. 2 Seeder 



THE SOWING CYLINDER of both No. 1 and No. 2 Seeders is a drum of spring 

 brass set between the driving wheels, with a sliding brass band secured in position by 

 a cam. ^ In drum and band are corresponding diamond-shaped discharge openings, and 

 the sliding band is quickly adjusted for any kind of seed. Inside the drum, shields 

 protect the openings and insure regular sowing, either with a full hopper or a thimbleful 

 of seed. Wheeling around on the roller stops the flow of seed. 



THE INDEX contains the names of the principal seeds. The drill is set right for 

 any seed when the name appears through the slot. The change is made by opening the 

 cam, sliding the band to the required place, then closing it. 



THE OPENING PLOW, directly between the wheels, follows the irregularities of 

 the ground, is adjustable and opens the furrows at a uniform depth. 



THE COVERING is done by the carrying wheels, the plow throwing the earth on 

 the rims, which return it exactly on top of the seed. 



THE MARKER ROD is steel, easily changed from side to side from between 

 the handles. 



THE CLEARING FINGER is very useful among stones, trash, etc. ; lower than the 

 plow, it leaves a clear track. 



THE ADJUSTMENTS for sowing different seeds at different depths, for rolling 

 heavier or lighter, for changing the width of rows and for regulating the height of the 

 handles are all quickly made. 



These seeders are simple, having no agitators, belts or gearings to injure the seed. 

 They plant all varieties of garden seeds admirably and are especially adapted to plant- 

 ing small seeds shallow, the plow being directly between the wheels and sure to open 

 at a regular depth. They are also strong, easily set and easily understood. 



W. A. Lyster, Independence, Kan., writes April 1, 1912: "About twenty-four years ago I 

 bought a Planet Jr. Combined Drill Seeder and Wheel Hoe, and it is as good as ever it was." 



Ed. J. King, Carnforth, Granum, Alta., Canada, writes April 10, 1912: "I have used your 

 Planet Jr. Seeders for several years and am using them this year. I could not do without them." 



Fred W. Watson, Creston, British Columbia, writes April, 1912: "We are still using a No. 2 

 Planet Jr. Drill Seeder, which we purchased when we were in England some ten years ago, and 

 it is still as good as ever."
