Lynchburg Automatic 
Transplanter 
A practical tool for transplanting Tomato Plants, 
Cabbage, Cauliflower, Pepper, Eggplant, Sweet Po- 
tato and Tobacco Plants. (Not recommended for 
Strawberry Plants.) Each plant is set, watered 
and covered in one operation, without bruising or 
damaging the plants, without stooping or lame 
backs. Cuts labor to one-third. Enables one man 
to set 8,000 to 10,000 plants per day. The roots 
of each plant are put into the ground in a natural 
position, and firmly set by the absorption of water 
into the ground. This is ‘‘Nature’s Own Way. 
Transplanting losses are reduced to the minimum. 
The tiny roots are sucked into the ground almost 
as though they grew there, and the plants: take hold 
and start to grow at once, especially if Boost’ Em 
Plant Starter is used in the water reservoir—the 
easiest way to apply starter solution. 
All wearing parts are easily removed and replaced. 
Thousands in use. Can be operated with either right 
or left hand. Guaranteed for one year against faulty 
workmanship or defective materials. Price: $4.85 
postpaid, to third zone (300 miles).
