THE PLANET Jr. SEED DRILL, No. 2. 
As is seen in the cut, the Planet Jr. has double 
carrying wheels, with the spring brass seed 
reservoir in the centre; this arrangement keeps 
the seed in continual agitation, preventing the 
slightest chance of packing, or collection of dirt 
around the discharge holes. The value of this 
feature will be well understood, when we say 
that soaked or sprouted seeds, even if mixed 
with earth or sand, can be sown perfectly, and 
without danger of spliting or injury to the sof¬ 
tened seed. These advantages, combined with 
the evident fact that the entire absence of gear¬ 
ing, cogs, brushes, levers, cams, etc., make the 
sowing devices of the drill durable, noiseless 
and simple, and the machine light running, and 
go farther to explain and convince of the value of the Planet Jr. Seed Drills than any noisy claim, 
that we made the best drill in the world, could do. 
THE PLANET Jr. DRILL, No. 3 . 
This is our largest size.drill, holding one*half a bushel ; it has but one wheel, 24 inches high, 
with the seed reservoir in the centre, with a double set of sowing openings, one on each side of 
the wheel. It has no opening plow, coverer or roller, and is intended for work only in the furrow, 
for distributing fertilizers, or for dropping corn for fodder, peas, l cans, broom corn, &c., by the 
bushel. One or both sets of discharge holes can be used. When sowing fertilizers in the furrow 
they arc spread on the sides of the furrow only, thus avoiding danger to seed, or to plants dropped 
or set centrally in the row, and placing the fertilizer just where the new roots of the young plants 
will need it. 
When put on a growing crop by plowing away and spreading alongside, the openings on but 
one side of the drill are used. It is a general favorite among truckers and gardeners using ferti¬ 
lizers in the row, or sowing peas, beans and other large seeds extensively in the furrow.

THE PLANET Jr. 
Double and Single Wheel Hoes, Wheel Plows and Wheel 
Combined. 
Hoeing is one of the most laborious, tedious 
and costly portions of farm and garden work, 
yet since it is one of the most necessary, it will 
repay all to avail themselves of improved imple¬ 
ments to save in this direction. In market gar¬ 
dening, onion, broom corn and rice culture, as 
well as numerous other crops, hoeing is the chief 
cost; and although much seed, time and labor 
are saved, and better crops obtained by using a 
seed sower for planting, much more can be saved 
by the after use of a good wheel hoe, for the 
sowing must be done but once while hoeing is 
repeated constantly until the crop is made, and 
a good wheel hoe will work much closer than is 
possible with a hand hoe, and many times faster, 
the row, or cultivate deep or shallow at will; not 
only far surpassing hand work in quality, but enabling its owner 1o perform the work so rapidly 
that he can get through his hoeing at the exact time when it is most needed and while the condi¬ 
tion of the crops and soil are most favorable for rapid and effective woik. 
Each Double Wheel Hoe is supplied as follows: — One pair of long hoes with front ends 
curved forward to protect the smallest plants from danger ; one pair of small neat plows and two 
pairs of cultivator teeth. All the teeth are steel, hardened in oil, tempered and polished. The 
frame is so constructed that the hoes on one side can be set ahead of those on the other if de¬ 
sired. A wrench and full directions for use accompany each machine.
