ABSTRACT:
Various types of seeds are planted in a coordinate array in flats or in peat cups by means of a hand-manipulated seed pick-up head having limited paths of rectilinear and vertical movement. The pick-up head holds the seeds on a frontal face thereof in the operator's view and transfers them to a plurality of individually adjustable tubes which serve to guide the seeds upon release of the vacuum into the peat cups by gravity feed. An instantaneous puff of air may be applied to aid in expelling the seeds into the tubes.
