THE “PLANET JR.” ALL STEEL 
HORSE HOE AND CULTIVATOR COMBINED, WITH WHEEL. 
No tool which has ever been offered to the American public has so rapidly gained in favor as the “Planet Jr.” All Steel 
Horse Hoe and Cultivator Combined. This is due to the fact that for the cultivation of all farm crops none equals it in 
ease of handling, variety and quality of work done, and lightness of draft. It is made entirely of iron and steel, except the 
handles; has a patent lever expanding frame which can be closed to five inches or opened to twenty-four; has a side adjust¬ 
ment for the handles, by which they may be set from one side to the 
other by loosening a single bolt; has a lever wheel by which it may be 
changed to any depth in an instant, and is provided with such a variety 
of adjustable teeth as enables it to do all kinds of one-horse cultivation. 
The front two teeth are three inches wide, and of such a form as is best 
adapted to enter the soil, cut off the roots of growing weeds, and turn 
them upside down, thus preparing for the easy working of the rear 
blades. The cultivator teeth can be set to work deep or shallow as 
desired. The patent side steels are five inches wide, and by means of 
t he patent side stand¬ 
ards can be turned 
at any angle desired, 
or completely re¬ 
versed. This fea¬ 
ture is found on 
the “Planet Jr.” 
Horse Hoc alone. 
The rear steel is seven 
inches wide, and de¬ 
signed to fill in the 
furrows made by the 
side steels, leaving a 
finely shaped bed 
around the plants. 
The tool is also fur¬ 
nished with three 
extra cultivator 
steels which can be placed on the rear standards when desired, thus making it a plain cultivator. All the standards now 
used on the “Planet Jr.” Ilorse Hoe are made from heavy sheet steel, struck up into the proper shape by special machinery. 
These Hollow Steel Standards are far superior to anything ever before offered to the public, aud are a distinguishing 
feature of the improved “ Planet Jr.” Horse Hoe. 
Price, including wheel, delivered at Depot or Express Office in Detroit, Mich., $8.50. Without Wheel,

“ PLANET JR.” SINGLE CELERY HILLER. 
Absolutely indispensable to celery growers. Single machine works but one side at a time, and throws further and higher 
than the double, and is adapted to all width rows, from two feet to ten. It also has the leaf lifter and lever expander. It is 
the more satisfactory for the last and highest hilling, and large growers need both. The single machine is also often used 
where the rows are so close together that there is not enough earth to complete hilling up both rows at once. The Single 
Hiller is then used to hill very high every other row, Diking away most of the earth from the alternate rows. Then when the 
blanched row is marketed it is again used to hill up the remaining row. It is also used to bank up celery when storing in 
trenches for winter.
