PLANET Jr. COMBINED SEED DRILL AND WHEEL HOE. 
I hcse excellent lools are of the newest and most approved construction, simple, compact and strong, working 
well in all soils. During the past season we have sold over one hundred of these Machines, and they have given 
universal satisfaction. The Drill holds one quart, yet works 
equally well with a fraction of an ounce. The Hopper moves 
with the carrying wheels, preventing all packing and clogging. 
The holes can be adjusted all together, and each is so cover¬ 
ed by a shield, discharging only after reaching the bottom, 
that regular dropping is insured. The Plow works between 
the carrying wheels, opening the furrow just at the depth set. 
The covering is done as shown in the cut, the Plow throwing 
the earth upon the wheels, which continually return it exactly 
on the top of the seed. The Plow readily passes fast roots 
and rocks without waste of seed, by a slight raising of the 
handles. It becomes a Wheel Hoe by removing one bolt. It 
has two pairs of interchangeable tempered steel hoes, one for 
delicate work close to the plants, leaving the ground level, the

hoeing with surprising ease, rapidity and perfection. No vegetable garden, however small, should be without one.

THE PLANET Jr. DOUBLE WHEEL HOE. 
I he Double Wheel Hoe will do the work of six to twelve men with hand hoes, among Market Garden and 
Root Crops, and small Nursery Stock, finishing perfectly 
both sides of the row at once, working to or from it, deep 
or shallow, closer and far better than by hand, and also between 
the rows when desired. The arch allows working the crop 
until twelve inches high, both sides at once. The regular width 
between wheels is 6 inches, but it can be quickly reduced to 2 
inches, then working between rosos, as in late hoeings of 
Onions, &c., or it can be expanded to q inches for wide work 
and advanced crops. Each Machine has three pairs of ex¬ 
changeable tempered steel hoes, and a pair of subsoilers, and 
will work in almost any way desired, all rows from 6 inches to 
18 inches wide, giving universal surprise and satisfaction. 
Will work 6, 9, 10 and 12 inch rows, two at once. Price $10. 
We have a few of the old style Planet Jr. Combined Drill 
and Wheel Hoe, which we will sell at $10.00 each. These are 
good Machines for the money. In 1874 we sold seventy-live of 
them, and they were very satisfactory. A first rate Drill for Pl&ElSt Jr, DOUDIs Wheel HO©— 1st IToeing.

MATTHEW’S GARDEN SEED DRILL. 
A really reliable Seed Drill is appreciated by vegetable growers as a great labor and money sa7>er. And in 
response to the increasing demand for a better implement of 
the kind, I now confidently offer the Matthews’ Garden Seed

Its inventor, Mr. E. G. Matthews, has been many years 
engaged in the manufacture of similar implements. He in¬ 
vented and manufactured the Holbrook* 1 Regulator" Drill, 
but time and experience 
have enabled him to 
produce in this new 
Drill one which, while 
avoiding the imperfec¬ 
tions in that, possesses
