The "Planet Jr." Double Wheel Hoe.
CULTIVATOR, RAKE AND PLOW COMBINED.
This popular hoe has been completely remodelled; is greatly simplified, strengthened, and improved, and merits the thorough admiration of every practical gardener. Each tool is sent out with a pair of rakes, a pair of hoes, a pair of 4-inch sweeps, a pair of cultivator teeth and a pair of plows; 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 plants are over 18 inches high; then the wheels can be set to run close together and the tool used between the rows. Leaf guards (detachable) go with each machine, to be used when plants extend into a wide row. This tool is light, very simple, very strong, made of the best material and highly finished, and nothing exceeds the perfection and variety of work it performs. It will do the work of six men with ordinary hand hoes. List price $8.00. Our price only $6.65 each, boxed.
