The “ PLANET JR.” No. 4 Combined Hill-Dropping Seeder and 
Single Wheel Hoe. 
This beautiful new tool will be a delightful surprise to every 
gardener who tries it We all know that a garden seed sower 
that does not drop in hills is fast becoming a thing of the past, 
lor there are but few now who do not wish to plan', beans and 
corn, spinach and salsify, carrots and turnips, parsnips and 
beets, in hills. All crops that are to be grown from seed and 
then thinned to a regular stand, should 
he planted in hills and at just the distance 
apart the plants are desired : for in drill- 
ing. unless the seed is sown unnecessarily 
thick, there will not always be a plant at 
the proper spot and the crop is therefore 
irregular. This mean- that liow-a-days a 
seed sower should drop in hills ana at 
almost every distance apart. The new 
No. 4 drill drops at 6, q, 12, 18 and 36 
inches, and also in a continuous row. 
The drill is quickly detached and the tool 
fiame substituted. It then becomes the 
most admirable Single Wheel Hoe of the 
“Planet Jr. 1 '’ family. Has a fine 
garden plow, two elegantly shaped, 
new-style hoes, three delightful 
cultivating rakes, made new form 
and specially to fit 6, 9, 12, and. 
using two at once, 14 and 16-incli 
rows; and a practical leaf guard. 
Price, complete, $10. As a drill 
only, $7. 
The “ PLAN ET JR.” Double 
Wheel Hoe. 
Thousands of farmers and gar- . 
deners who own this tool save its cost one or more times every year, for 111 an onion field and among many 
other crops one can do more and better work with it than six men with ordinary hoes. It is invaluable for 
all market garden crops. The wheels are only 10 inches high, as a high wheel is wrong for a Wheel Hoe, 
since the wheels are simply depth regulators, not load carriers. It will straddle plants 18 inches high, and 
finish rows from 6 to 18 inches apart atone passage. One hoe sets slightly ahead of the other, to prevent 
dragging out young plants. The new frame permits the changing ot attachment without removing the 
nuts. All the tools shown in the cut go with the machine for the price; and all the blades are steel, 
hardened in oil and polished. The wheels are adjustable to make the work shallow or deep, as required, 
and to adapt the machine to all width rows. Price, S<>.

work but hoeing, we offer the abeve ma- 
chine, with hoes only, under the name of
