THE “PLANET JR.” HILL DROPPING GARDEN DRILL. 
This Drill will sow in hills with perfect accuracy as well as in rows. It will sow all kinds of garden seeds from Peas and 
Beans down to Celery. It opeus. sows, covers, rolls down and marks the next row, all at oue operation. The machine holds 
two quarts and is adapted for all conditions of land, working especially well in fresh ground or when planting on a ridge as it 
has two,15-inch driving wheels placed six inches apart. This con- 6 ’ 
struction insures that the furrow for the seed will be opened at 
an even depth, and also that the covering will be regular, the 
plows being adjustable and not interfered with by the wheel 
track. 
Other drills having an upright seed hopper and a discharge 
hole in the bottom, invariably sow varying amounts of seed as the 
hopper is full, half full or nearly empty. This machine, however, 
has a force feed in the shape of a pure rubber double screw which 
works directly over a diamond shaped hole in the bottom of the 
hopper, and a metal shield regulates the feeding of the conteuts 
of the hopper to the screw, so that it runs free and discharges in 
the most regular manner, whether full or containing only a 
single paper of seed. 
The Drill is set for the different seeds with the greatest 
accuracy by a neat thumb screw which regulates the flow by 
means of a rod connecting the seed index or dial with the dis¬ 
charge opening. This dial contains the names of all the princi- sasr mer 
pal seeds, and is placed at the top of the right handle, in plain "

The Planet Jr." Combined Hill Dropping Seed and Fertilizer Drill 
For several years there has been a pressing demand, especially by market gardeners and onion rrmu-b,- fv... V-

or below the seed. The amount sown is regulated accurately by an Index sin ilar Vo that if

separately or together, thus avoiding all loss at the end of the row. This also has a force 
feed: a double acting open 
metal worm discharging 
regularly; it is protected 
by metal feeding shelves, 
which move slightly and 
alternately with each revo¬ 
lution of the screw, supply¬ 
ing material to it with 
great regularity and pre¬ 
venting clogging in the 
hopper. Like the Plain 
Hill Dropping Drill, it does 
not sow when drawn back¬ 
ward, and can be quickly 
thrown entirely out of gear. 
This machine will be a 
great boon to farmers and 
_ market gardeners.
