. Annual catalogue of garden, field and flower seeds : bulbs, plants, fertilizers and implements for the farm and garden. Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Agricultural implements Catalogs; Commercial catalogs Rhode Island Providence. 56 Walter A. Potter & Co/s Seed Catalogue. The Improved Robbins Potato Planter^. The operation of the planter is simple. The opening plow throws out a free furrow; immediately following comes the deposit of fertilizer in a broad stream, six inches wide, across the bottom of furrow. The drill tube, through which the seed is dropped, about two inches below the fertilizer is immediately followed by a pair of large steel discs, adjustable, and covering the row with a full, free covering. The seed is not punctui'ed or injured. Neither can any injury result from contact of seed with fertilizer, as the former is deposited below the fei tilizer, and the latter is also thoroughly mixed with soil. No waste of fertilizer material, as the flow can be instantly shut off. Plants at distances of 12, 15, 17, iSj/^ or 20 inches. The draft of the machine is light, the wheels being high, with Avide concave rims. The draft also depends upon the depth of planting and the angle at which the discs are set. No side draft is possible, as the gearing is driven from both wheels. Price of Planter, with Fertilizer Attachment $65 00 Pea Sower Attachment 5 00 TESTIMONIALS. Newport, R. I., Jan. 9, 1899.
