HAND SEEDERS 



Planet Jr. No. 30 Single Wheel Hoe in the family garden. This is the wheel 

 hoe portion of the No. 28 Combined Seeder and Wheel Hoe. 



THE SEEDER WHEEL is 15 inches high, made of steel, with broad tires, 

 making a light-running tool. The index is the most accurate and convenient we have 

 ever made, and it enables one to make the slightest changes in thickness, while the 

 discharge is closed. In turning at the ends of the rows, the flow of seed is 

 stopped automatically by raising the handles sufificiently to lift the plow and roller 

 from the ground ; the sowing starts again instantly upon lowering the handles and 

 starting the tool. In going from field to field, the sowing may be instantly stopped 

 also by the index lever ; upon starting work again, no new setting of the index is 

 required, as the seeder remains exactly as last set. 



The Steel Hopper is light and ample in size. 



The Concave Faced Roller compacts the soil over the seed, but leaves it loosest 

 in the center, and so allows the seed to come through the surface easily. 



The Marker is readily operated from between the handles ; it makes a clear line 

 for the next row. 



The Piatent Steel Handles are a valuable innovation, at once strong, indestructible 

 and neat in design, and the hand pieces are very pleasant for the operator. Wood 

 handles can be supplied if specially ordered. 



We make two wider opening plows as extras, one (No. K-517, price, 45c.) for 

 sowing onions for pickling, opening the furrow a couple of inches wide and giving the 

 plants a fine chance to form uniform bulbs. The other (No. K-518, price, 55c.) for 

 sowing 40 to 80 lbs. of seed per acre in a wide band for growing onion sets. 



We also make a special plow for peat land which fits Nos. 28 and 29 (see page 15).

C. H. Van Sicklen, 275 Ocean Avenue, Patchogue, L. I., N. Y., writes May 11, 1914: "I have 

 used one of your Seeders for about twenty-five years past, but it has finally met an accident by 

 misuse — got broken — and I am in a mess for fair to do by hand what it does so easily." 



O. F. Shuman, Montgomery, Pa., writes March 28, 1914: "I ordered one of your best tools, 

 No. 28 complete, and have it now and am certainly well pleased with it. I have used your tools 

 before and know what they are. I know a good thing when I see and use it." 



M. J. Thompson, Superintendent Department of Agriculture, University of Duluth, Minnesota, 

 writes May 25, 1914: "We are now using your garden drill with attachments. It does good work."
