Abstract: A planter for seeds and bulbs includes a tube assembly receiving a plunger which is reciprocable between retracted and extended positions. With the plunger in its extended position, a lower end thereof extends downwardly from the tube assembly for embedding a seed in the ground. A handle is mounted on an upper end of the plunger for operating the planter. A feed assembly includes a seed hopper mounted on an upper end of a conduit, the lower end of which is connected to a lower end of the tube for passing seeds thereinto. A spacing rod is provided for gauging the spacing between plantings.
