This new tool will be a de- lightful surprise to every garden- er. We all know that a seed sower that does not drop in hills is fast becoming a thing of the past, for there are few who do not wish to plant beans and corn, spinach and salsify, carrots and turnips, parsnips and beets, in hilJs. All crops that are to be grown from seed and then thinn- ed to a regular stand, should be planted in hills at just the dis- tance apart the plants are desir- ed, for in drilling, unless the seed is sown unnecessarily thick, there will not always be a plant at the proper spot and the crop is therefore irregular. This means that nowadays a seed sower should drop in hills, and at almost every distance. The new No. 5 "Plant ; drops at 5,, 12, 16. 24, and 48 inches apart, and also in a continuous row. The accuracy of the No. 5 and Seeders is superior to that of any other Drills made, and while carrying a large amount of seed they are light running. They drop without injury, can be changed from hill to drill or from one distance to another very quickly, the tool is thrown out of gear automatically and the seed shut off. by simply raising the handles. It has a 15 inch wheel with broad face, and is very light running. Its large capacity will suit all large growers and yet it will sow a single paper of seed or drop it accurately in hills, to the very last grain. In a word, no Seeder has ever been made that compares with this newly pdrfected ••Pianeu JR.*' No. 5. Price, $ The "PLANET ; Single Wheel Hoe. _ This Wheel Hoe is light and strong and does almost the same variety of work as the Double Wheel Hoe, be- ing used mostly be- tween the rows, yet it can be used to hoe both sides at once, while plants are small, by placing the wheel at one side of the frame.
