HAND SEEDERS 14 



THE NO. 3 PLANET JR. SEEDER is our popular size at a popular price. We 

 recommend customers to buy separate seed drills and wheel hoes where they have 

 enough work to warrant it, and this or No. 29 is the size that should be bought by 

 every one except the largest market gardeners, sugar beet growers, etc. 



THE STEEL DRIVING WHEEL, with heavy steel spokes, not "piano wire," is 

 of proper height, with broad face, making the tool light and easy running, even with 

 the hopper filled to the brim. 



THE SPECIAL FORCE FEED is admirable, working equally well whether sowing 

 with an ounce or a full hopper. 



WHEN DRAWN BACKWARD the feed wheel is thrown out of gear. 



When passing from field to field the cam lever at "A" may also be used to throw 

 gears out of contact. 



THE HILL DROPPING is simple and reliable, spacing hills either 4, 6, 8, 12 or 

 24 inches apart. 



CHANGES OF DISTANCE between hills may be made in less than a minute, by 

 substituting one spacing wheel for another. 



FROM HILL TO DRILL — This change is made or reversed almost instantly. 



THE INDEX — The thickness of seed is regulated by an accurate index with brass 

 screw adjustment; it contains the names of the important seeds, and is carefully gradu- 

 ated, both for hills and drills. It is within easy reach at the top of handle. 



THE CUT=OFF — The flow of seed is instantly stopped by pulling the cut-off at 

 the top of the handle, and started as quickly by reversing. Not a hill need be missed 

 in starting, nor any seed wasted in stopping. 



THE OPENING PLOW is malleable and adjustable for depth, and sows in a nar- 

 row line, making close wheel-hoe cultivation easy, saving nearly all hand work, as the 

 weeds usually stand a little to one side or the other of the row and are quickly exter- 

 minated, to the great surprise of the unaccustomed operator. 



^Millard Cox, Route Xo. 4, Hooperstown, 111., writes February 23, 1914: "The planter that I 

 received last year was perfectly satisfactory. I think your Planet Jrs. are good." 



C. W. "Mathews, Horticulturist, Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station, State University, 

 Lexington, Ky., writes January 22, 1914: "We have several of your implements in use on our 

 Experiment Station farm and they are giving very excellent satisfaction."
