PLANT JR. PLAIN DOUBLE WHEEL HOE.

Precisely like the above, except that it has only one pair of hoes for cultivation, thus making it much cheaper. This will make a very effective and cheap tool for parties who have limited work. Price, $4.50.
The "Planet Jr." Single Wheel Hoe, Cultivator and Plow Combined--Combines extreme lightness, strength, variety of tools, and great adjustability. It has one pair of long and one pair of short exchangeable hoes, a set of three reversible cultivator teeth, and a steel garden plow. The frame allows every desirable adjustment, is quickly raised or lowered to regular depth, and the wheel can be attached centrally or to either side of the machine, giving the operator the important advantage of hoeing both sides of the row at one passage, when desired. Price, $6 boxed.
The "Fire Fly" Single Wheel Hoe, Cultivator and Plow Combined-Combines lightness and strength with the greatest adjustability, while its highly polished and tempered steel tools make gardening comparatively a pleasure. The tools are all made after the most perfect models, and are first, a pair of admirable hoes which can be set to work to and from the row and to any desired depth. Next, a set of three reversible cultivator teeth to be used together, or singly, or in conjunction with the hoes. Third, a large excellent garden plow. Price, $5, or with an iron handle, $4.50.
The "Fire Fly" Wheel Garden Plow--Makes the care of a vegetable garden a pleasure, and 10,000 families who could not find time to keep a garden, if attempting its cultivation with an ordinary hand hoe, can raise their own vegetables successfully with the "Fire Fly." It takes the place of the horse and plow, or cultivator, requiring no wide headlands to turn on, and is invaluable during all the garden season. The price is reduced to $2.50.
The "Planet Jr." Hollow Steel Standard Horse Hoe and Cultivator Combined--No tool which has ever been offered to the American public has so rapidly gained its favor as the "Planet Jr." HOLLOW STEEL STANDARD Horse Hoe and Cultivator combined. This is due to the fact that for the cultivation of all farm crops, none equals it in ease of handling, variety and quality of work done and lightness of draft.
It is made entirely of iron and steel except the handles, and has an expanding frame, which can be closed to five inches or opened to twenty-four, and is provided with such a variety of adjustable teeth as enables it to do all kinds of one horse cultivation.
For all crops that are hoed by hand it is valuable, preceding the hand hoe, and saving three-fourths of the work. For all crops that are hilled, and very few are not, nothing can exceed the perfection and ease with which this tool performs the work, breaking up the soil perfectly, and hilling the crop much or little as desired. "For level culture," so desirable for some soils, it is equally well adapted.
As an opening plow it is invaluable for making furrows for potatoes, corn and all other crops. As a coverer it has no equal for corn, broom corn, potatoes, and in fact every kind of covering, as it covers and rolls down the ground at one operation, in ordinary field work, or fits for setting out plants or for using the garden seed drill and wheel hoe. Every complete machine has a set of eight attachments adapted to all kinds of work.
Price complete as above with wheel, $11; same without wheel, $10. "Planet Jr." Plain Cultivator (with five cultivator teeth) $6.
EXTRA ATTACHMENTS.
Set of Five, One and One-Fourth Inch Cultivator Steels--A very important addition to the Horse Hoe, and as they are inexpensive all should have them; per set 55 cents.
Furrowing Steel--$2.00. Marking Attachment--$2.00. Sweeps--Per set of three, $1.10.
Roller--For covering and thoroughly firming the soil over seed or potatoes; each, $2.00.
Reversed Rake--For covering, $1.50.

COMSTOCK`S HORTICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS.
Send for Illustrated Circular fully describing them and their uses.
Comstock`s Seed Sower--Will give perfect satisfaction in sowing any garden seed from the smallest size up to Peas and Beans. It sows Beet, Parsnip and other difficult seeds to sow with the greatest regularity and is especially adapted to sowing Onion seed, either three, four, five or six pounds to the acre. A revolving disk which is held in place by a spring, regulates the quantity of seed sown. It can be changed instantly to sow either thick or thin. Price only $8.
Comstock`s Hand Cultivator and Weeder Combined--In the cultivation of all small drill crops this will do the work of six men with hoes, and do it with ease. The attachments consist of one full and two half share cultivator teeth and two rakes. It has been thoroughly tested in competition with many other cultivators and came out victor. Price, $7.
Comstock`s Combined Seed Sower, Cultivator and Weeder--This consists of the seed sower mentioned above, and the attachments which go to make up the Cultivator and Weeder, the same frame, wheel and handles being used for both. Price only $12.
EXTRA ATTACHMENTS.
Hopper and Coverer to make a Seed Sower of a Cultivator... $5.00.
Set of two rakes and three teeth to make a Cultivator and Weeder of a Seed Sower... $4.00.
Extra Steel Plates, for replating teeth when worn, each... .17.
SCUFFLE HOE--This is by far the most important of any of the extra attachments. It thoroughly clears the ground of weeds, and loosens up the soil... 1.25.
RUHLMAN`S WHEEL HOE--No tool that we have ever sold has given better satisfaction than this. Extremely simple in construction, it is compact, firm, strong and durable, doing to perfection the work for which it is designed. The handles can be raised to suit, knife-blades set to any pitch, and from seven to sixteen inches in width; can be run within half an inch of the row without injure to the plants. One man with this implement will do more and better work than eight men with common hoes. It is particularly valuable on hard ground, where it takes hold of the weeds better than most other other wheel hoes. Price is $5.50, but as we have a large number for our trade this season we will make the special price of $3.90 delivered on cars here.

The "Gem" of the Garden Cultivater--A well made and thoroughly useful tool, combining a great variety of work for little money. Its working parts are two scuffle hoes, one four and a half and one nine inches wide; two plows, right and left hand, five Cultivator teeth, all of the best steel. The wheel and handles of the Gem are adjustable in height, while the frame is so slotted that the hoes, teeth, and plows can be set in almost any position or angle. Price complete, $5. The double wheel attachment is $2 extra.
Little Gem Seed Drill--This new drill was designed and has been perfected, for farmers and small gardeners, who have long felt the need of a low-price, reliable seed drill. The "Little Gem" will make the drill, drop and cover the seeds and mark the next row perfectly. We have not tested it ourselves, but understand that it is well made by experienced men, and think it will prove a "decided hit" for those who plant vegetables for home use, and whose root-growing is not extensive enough to warrant them in buying a large seed drill. Price $6, or taken together with the Single Wheel "Gem" Cultivator, $10 for the two machines.
