THE "PLANET JR." No. 2 SEED DRILL fl?e " piao<?t Jr." <?o/r\bir^d Drill, U/1?<?<?1 Ho«?, <?ulti- uacor. Etc. & $9.50. THE "VUWEI ^h." SMIOT.U TOOUS THESE are the most popular and complete garden tools made. They are known the world over, and beyond question are the most perfect in design, construction and finish, and most practical yet invented. I offer them for '93 more perfect, more labor-saving and money-earning than ever. No wide-awake farmer or gardener can afford to be without them. Tho "DlQnot lr " Hfl 9 Flrilf ThisDrill holds 2% quarts. It sows all garden seeds accurately 1 !;u rlol;Cl ill. JIU. u 111111 any desired thickness or depth. It opens, drops, covers, rolls down and marks the next row, all at one passage, in the most perfect and reliable manner. Its con- I struction is simple. It has nothing to wear out or get out of order, and no stirring devices dangerous to the vitality of the seed. The continual revolution of the hopper keeps the seed in a loose condition, and the Drill will sow a single thimbleful of seed with regularity, or 5 los. with the same perfection. It is especially valuable for sowing onion seeds and such difficult seeds as carrot, parsnip, beet and salsify. The opening, covering and rolling down are automatic and perfect. The combination of necessary good 5S points is so complete that I can assure my customers it will give entire satisfaction. Price, $7.00. '" me" Planet Jr." Combined Drill, wneel Hoe, Cultivator, Bake and Plow Jftfi&g une most perfect combined machine made. It is unrivaled in design, finish, convenience and capacity for work. As a Seed DriD it is the same as the No. 2, but holds one quart. All the cultivating blades are Price. $7.00. steel, hardened in oil, and tempered and polished. The rakes are invaluable in preparing the ground for planting, for covering seeds, and for delicate cultivation. The Iioes work closely and safely, either straddling the row or between the row, working everything up to 16 inches wide at one passage, and leaving the ground nearly level. The plow opens furrows, covers them, hills, plows to and from, etc. The cultivator teeth are admirably adapted to mellowing the soil. The two narrow teeth can be used to mark out two rows at once up to 8 inches apart. This combined tool is the nearest approach to perfection for the use of gardeners that can well be devised. Its various accomplishments are the result of careful study and mechanical ingenuity on the part of the inventor, who could never have succeeded so well but lor practical familiarity with garden tools in actual work. Price, $9.50. Tne" Planet Jr." Double Wfieel Hoe, Cultivator, BaKe and Plow ^,wx for onion growers, but is the best hoe made for all kinds of garden work. The tool is light and. strong, and one man or boy can do as much work with it as 6 to 10 men with the ordinary hand hoe. The changes from one form to another are simple, and easily and quickly made. The wheels are adjustable in height, and the arch is high enough to enable the operator to work both sides of the row at once until the plants are 18 inches nigh, then the wheels can be set to run close together and the tool used between the rows. The leaf-guards are just the thing needed when hoeing large plants, such as beets, carrots, parsnips, peas, beans, etc., enabling you to cultivate them perfectly, when, otherwise, the leaves would: be torn off and the plants seriously injured. Price, $6.50. Tho "Dfanot lr " Dloin Flnuhlo Wheel Hno This machine is the same as the machine 1 l;C rldl;01 (Jl. rldll) UUUU1C I! IIOCl PUG just described, except that it has no attach- ments except one pair of hoes. It is just the thing for onion growers and others who want a hoe only, and at a small cost. Price, $4.00. Tne "Planet Jr." Single Wneel floe, Cultivator, Bake and Plow S£ &3£ Wheel Hoe made, and combines great strength, ease of running, simplicity, and variety of attachments. The wheel is readily raised or lowered, and can be attached at one side of the frame so that one can cultivate both sides of a row of small plants at one passage. All rows from 6 to 18 inches apart can be perfectly hoed at one passage, and this tool, although not as well adapted to large fields of garden crops as the Double Wheel Hoe, is still a great favorite with many for that class of work. For the home vegetable garden it is exactly what is needed for the easy cultivation of crops without the aid of a horse. Its- lightness, strength and simplicity recommend it to all Price, $5.00. The "Fire-Fly" Garden Plotigh The cost of this tool is soon saved in a family vegetable garden, even if but 20 feet square. In many gardens it will save its cost twice a year. The ground can be ploughed up with it in the Spring for planting; the tool can then be used for opening shallow or deep furrows for various crops, and covering the seed, and used for after-cultiva- tion during the late season. Price, $2.15. The "Planet Jr," All-Steel Horse Hoe and Cultivator Combined with Wheel, This machine is the standard in this- line, and needs no introduction, as its repu- tation is world-wide. It is unquestionably the best machine on the market, and is in- valuable in working corn, potatoes, cotton, grapes, hops, beans, peas, and all crops re- quiring similar cultivation. It can be opened or closed in an instant by means of its Lever Expander, and the depth in- stantly changed by raising; or lowering the wheel. The Lever Wheel is a new feature, and is a great convenience. No farmer 'can afford to be without this tool. Price, complete, $9.00. The" Planet Jr," Combined Hill-Dropping and Fertilizer Drill. This tool is also new for 1S93. and as a drill is exactly the same as the machine described opposite. The fertilizer hopper holds one peck. The fertilizer can be sown either above or below the seed as desired, by setting that plow deeper or shallower than the other. The drills may be satisfactorily used also to sow either seed or fertilizer alone. The amount sown is regulated accurately by the dials, and the discharge of both may be stopped and started in- stantly, either separately or together, thus avoiding all loss at the ends of the row. Like the plain hill-dropping drill, it does not sow when drawn back- ward, and can be quickly thrown entirely out of gear. This machine "ill be a great boon to all farmers and market gardeners. It is thoroughly well made, and guaranteed to do satisfactory work. List price, ;18.00. Our net cash price. fl5,0Q.
