John Deere Visible Potato Planter 
Accuracy 
The simple gravity feed of the New John 
Deere insures just the right amount of seed 
in the bowl for efficient planting. You can 
plant whole or cut, treated or untreated seed 
with surprising accuracy. Double-pointed 
picker—a field-proved construction—is used in 
this new planter. Spring trips, of flexible 
steel, add greatly to the efficiency of this new 
planter because, with the spring trip, each seed 
is released at just the right time; no seed- 
pieces are knocked loose by shock a common 
occurrence where rigid-type trips are used. 
Especially designed agitators work constantly, 
keeping up the uniform flow of seed into the 
picking bowl—there is no bridging of the seed 
in the hopper or feed. Spacing sprockets are 
available for spacing seed 9, 11, 13, 15, 18, 22, 
26, and 30 inches in the row. Smooth-running 
steel roller chain insures uniform drive with¬ 
out lost motion—a mighty valuable contribu¬ 
tion to the accuracy of this New John Deere 
Planter.

Highly efficient fertilizer equipment with 
leak-proof hopper bottoms, handles fertilizer 
in practically any quantity desired, in just the

The New John Deere is made in one and two row styles 
for operation with horses or tractor. The two-row offers 
the same advantages of construction as the one-row. One 
lever controls the lifting and lowering of both units. 
Further provision is made for throwing either one or both 
units out of gear. _ 
Two-row planters are furnished in these three styles, 
adjustable for 30-, 32-, 34-, and 36-inch rows, and for 36-, 
38-, 40-, and 42-inch rows.___

No 422-R POTATO PLANTER WITH NEW ADJUSTABLE 
ELEVATOR WHEEL 
This planter is known as the 100 per cent planter because 
it puts one seed piece, and only one, in every hill no 
misses or doubles. You do not plow, harrow, plant, spray, 
cultivate and dig over missed spaces which bring you no 
profits. It also avoids the waste of fertilizer and spray 
material on unplanted spaces. 
The planter is constructed almost entirely of steel. 
This gives decided advantages of strength, lightness and 
compactness over planters with cast-iron or wood frames. 
It is perfectly balanced, with less weight for the horses 
to null. There are no heavy, bulky castings to replace 
because of breakage. The steel seed box is lighter, more 
durable than wood and holds more seed than a wooden box 
of the same size. 
The construction is simple, allowing you to get at all 
parts easily. 
We are now equipping this planter with our new 
patented adjustable feed wheel. This wheel is adjustable 
to an exact variation giving all sizes between those of the 
extra plates formerly used. Sometimes one plate was a 
little too large and the other a little too small, but the new 
feature gives any adjustment wanted. 
With this new plate there is no trouble of losing or mis¬ 
laying the extra plates formerly supplied. It also reduces 
the work of the boy on the rear. 
Side Dressing, Ridging, Corn, Bean and Pea Attachments 
can be supplied. With these attachments truckers can find 
use for the machine throughout the season. 
Making up rows, opening furrows and covering them can 
be done with the regular machine.
