represented, in so far that if they prove otherwise, we will refill the or-

seeds pure, true and reliable, yet so many contingencies
arise over which we have no control that we can not warrant

Nn Extra Special [;imited Offer.

Last Season we offered $1.50 worth of seeds in packages for $1.00 the season through.
‘ing the month of March it is almost impossible to keep up with orders working day

A FEW WORDS ABOUT SEEDSMEN.

| Each seedsman has his particular reasons why he should re-
|) ceive the public’s patronage. Consider carefully the induce-
it ments they offer. A catalogue four times as large as this one
could not offer many more varieties, but would cost $45,000
more for the number we distribute. This cost would
be added to the price of the seeds. The Prize-
Paying Seedsman puts up the price to warrant him in
paying prizes to afew fancy gardemers. The ordinary
dener who has to hustle for a living never gets a prize, but
e helps to pay them in every package of seed he buys. Cab-
| bages bigger than a man and wheelbarrow may excite high
| hopes, but they are mever realized. The Northern
Seedsman deceives you in his broad claims. Seeds are
own North, East, South and West and then shipped to
eadquarters to distribute. We have as many northern
grown seeds as any other seedsman, and can deliver them to
you quicker and cheaper than from the far North. Beauti-
| ful lithographs please the eye, and often double the cost
bi

of seeds, because they are expensive, but the crop seldom
equals your expectations. The Biggest Buildings do not
shelter better seeds than those of a moderate size; high prices

must be obtained to afford them. Easterm Seedsmen
vome west to grow the bulk of their seeds, then tell the dear
publicto “plant only Eastern Seeds.”” Cheap Seeds appear
to not care for trade. He lacks ambition to land a fish when
he getsa bite. If you buy from the seedsman a long time
im busimess, you pay roundly for the privilege. Old relics
always come high, and oftentimes are not worth the money.

Without any extravagant claims, but with a neat
catalogue, no premiums, reasonable illustrations, seeds
grown where they find & suitable soil and climate,
backed by facilities for handling our trade in the
center of the country, we offer our O. K. SEEDS,
and sufficient experience as seedsmen to intelli-
gently execute the orders entrusted to us. We cast out

our line baited with **O.K. Seeds at Fair Prices.”
ublic are not slow to see the advantages we offer,
Thanks in advance.

heaviest cabbages grown. Those who have this cabbage for sale in the spring will have
the market all to themselves, and remember this is the time the big prices are obtained.
Read what a few growers have to say about this cabbage:

Mr. R. M. EpGEcomsB, Mapleton, Mich.: ‘I have just
(April 15) taken out a wagon load of your Hard Heading
almost as green as when buried.’’

Mr. Jonas C. ScHoosn, of Cumberland, Pa.: ‘‘I put out
fifty plants, and forty-nine made the heaviest heads I
bl ever saw for the size, and all so uniform !’’

A market gardener writes: “I have tried all the favor-
ite kinds of cabbage, but found no other half so good a
keeper, it being in good market condition as late as the
15th of May, which is a fortnight after all other kinds of
cabbage have played out. It also differs from all other
kinds in making heads as hard as a rock; standing late
frosts in the field better than any other sort, it is espe-
cially adapted for late autumn, winter and spring sales.”

‘NEW CLIMBING JAPANESE

CUCUMBER

This great novelty was introduced from Japan into Eu-
rope, where it created a great sensation and was the reign.
ing novelty, and met with a phenomenal sale. From
Europe it crossed over to this country, where they are
also having an enormous sale.

The vines are healthy, vigorous growth, with rich, dark
green foliage, and throw out strong, grasping tendrils,
which enable it to climb trellis, wire netting, brush, or
any other suitable support. It clings so tightly that it is
not prostrated by heavy storms of wind orrain. It comes
into bearing quickly and continues to set the fruits
abundantly throughout the season, while the climbing?
habit of growth enables the hanging fruit to grow per-
fectly straight; of large size, from twelve to sixteen inches
inlength. The cucumbersare thick, exceedingly tender,
and of delicate flavor; of cylindrical shape, flesh pure
white, skin dark green turning to brown and netted,
= | whenripe. They are of excellent quality for slicing, and
=| when young make attractive pickles,

24. With this variety of cucumbers the product of a
given area of ground can be increased three-fold,
thus making them particularly valuable in small gardens
1 or togrow on high priced land. The yines continue bear-
=| ing until late in fall. Our seed is imported direct
a from Japan. Pkt. 10c, 3 for 25c, oz. 30c.

EW ICEBERG LETTUCE.

Quick Growing, Hard, Handsome Heads,
Exquisite in Flavor.

a There is no handsomer or more solid Cabbage Lettuce im

\ cultivation—it is strikingly beautiful. The large, curly
leaves which cover the outside of the solid heads are of a
bright, light green, with a very slight reddish tinge at the
edges; they have small indents, which are constantly filled
with dewdrops. They are thus kept fresh, and show a re-
markably crystalline appearance, which well warrants the
name of ICEBERG. Py

The unusual solidity of the heads is insured by the large,
white main ribs of the leaves, each of which, curving
= strongly into the center, acts like a truss, making it im-
¥ possible for the leaves to open outward and expose the
center, which is constantly thoroughly blanched. Wheth-
“ erin the early spring or the hottest days of summer, the
= : uality is perfect. So long-standing and hard are the heads

say Tbals Lett ; that they seldom shoot up to seed unless cut open with a
New Iceberg Lettuce. knife. We confidently recommend the NEw IcEBERG LET-
TUCE as surpassingly fine for the home garden and equally valuable for market; its beautiful appearance insures
quick sales. Pkt. 10c, oz. 25c, 4 Ib. 75c.

[MPROVED EXTRA KARLY J)WARF ERFURT (CAULIFLOWER.

ie was our good fortune to meet in 1893 a gentlemen from Denmark, who was attending the World’s Horti-
cultural Congress held in connection with the World’s Fair, at Chicago, and who has made a great specialty of
improving and growing fine strains of cauliflower. We have obtained a supply of his finest strain of fhe above
named variety, which we now offer to our customers. The most critical trade can depend upon this seed giving
satisfaction. The grower states as follows:

“My specialty in the seed line is a superior strain of Early Dwarf Erfurt Cauliflower seed, of which I have for along series
of years been working on. I will not expatiate on the excellence of my seed ; suffice it to say that the principles I have beem
persistently and invariably employing enables me to always produce the best quality of this variety. My favorable location
on the salt water sea coast and the very propitious seasons we enjoy, in connection with my very strict and merciless selec-
tion of seed bearing plants of the highest excellence in type and stamina, have put me ina position to furnish a quality of seed
surpassing anything it has as yet been my good fortune to send out,” J, PENDERSEN. Copenhagen,

As an every-day Mélon for the ama-
teur and for the héme market unex-
celled. Being somewhat brittle, will
not do for shipping purposes. It is
very early and will mature in every
state; very Wardy, vigorous and asure cropper. It is sweet
and delicage in texture of flesh—which is a deep red color—
the rind j§ thin and the quality of the flesh is sustained clear to
the rindf Melons of medium size, nearly round in shape,
rind green, striped with lighter shades. Asthis variety com-
bineg all the desirable qualities of the best melon, it can be

English language and against them place this Melon for fine

is rich yellow. Its flavor is deliciously sWeet and reminds
one of honey; hence the name, Golden Honey. This is

The Largest, Most Solid, Most Productive, Best Quality.
HE few words above describe this GREAT TOMATO. Others claim wonder-
ful properties, offer prizes to induce big reports, but our Logan Giant Seedling
comes out victorious every time. If you think you have tried the largest Tomato, try
il this one now, and you will see that you did not have the largest and best heretofore. It is
1 not only a new variety, but we claim for it in points of productiveness, size of fruit, ex-
| quisite quality and flavor as well as early ripening, the best Tomato extant. They grow to
] weigh over 3 pounds edch and attain the enormous circumference of 2 feet. This tomato is
| not like many others, one-thirdseedsand water. Theyarea great solid ball of tender deli-

| grow 10 feet high and be loaded with the finest fruit you ever pieced your eyes on.
Wit We advise early orders, as the two past last seasons we were obliged to cut down
] the size of our Packets to make them go around. We have several times as much
seed this year, but we also expect a much greater demand, although during the
two last seasons since we introduced it the demand was greater for this Tomato

4 variety of potatoes. J. A. EVERITT, Seedsman.,

THERE IS GOOD LUCK IN

Everitt’s “ONWAR 4
OTATO

PROGRESS IS ONWARD,
4 which is as it should be. When pro-
* cress is backward, it denotes a bad con-
dition of affairs. Our new potato is
“ONWARD” also, and all who plant
7 it, take a great step ONWARD toward

making farming a success. hs

If it was notin our power to produce new
varieties of potatoes, they would be in danger
of becoming an extinct vegetable, All vari-
eties run out and fail to produce paying crops.
Every grower knows this is the case, and any
grower who continues cultivating a va-
riety after it has begun to deteriorate,

does soataloss. There isagreat need now
™ forageneral purpose potato, one that can
be depended upon to produce paying crops
under unfavorable season conditions, which
so often prevail; one that possesses so much
natural vigor that failure is almost impos-
sible. Sucha potato we claim to have in
our new “ONWARD.”

Everett’s Onward Potato was produced
3 from hybridized seed in 1890, taken from a
ze S seed ball. As soon as it was well developed
ESS —= = it showed so many fine qualities that the
——_ S originator, who isa large potato grower and
experimenter (having grown not less than
thirty varieties each season for ten years),
chose it as his pet potato. It has proven
a remarkable variety in several respects,
and we confidently recommend it as a
sort of the highest merit, and we pride
m Ourselves on being expert judges of good
potatoes. This potatoisso handsome that
they sell at a premium on market,
when common yarieties go begging.
Itisa fancy market sort. Tubers

bunchedin the hill; evenifsmall size

noting good table quality. Shape

grow rough and prongy even where
thers sort out 25 percent. They are

> New White Cap Yellow Dent City

, As will be noticed we give particular attention to Seed Corn this season,
= troducing two new kinds and listing four of our great ae of for
s

mer years. Owing to the great drought in 1894, go eed corn must
be in demand, also the acreage that will be planted to corn will be
large owing to the unsatisfectory price realized for wheat. It be-
hooves every grower to select the best and most productive varieties,
as the seed may make a difference of 10 to 25 bushels peracre on the
crop. Each of our varieties have some distinctive features to rec-
ommend over the others, yet we can not tell which one would suit
particular farms the best. Hence we advise every corn grower to
experiment for himself and select from our select collection that ya-
riety that gives him the best results.

We give the originator’s description and recommendation of the
New White Cap Yellow Dent Corn and knowing him to be a
successful, in fact, expert corn grower, we have no hesitancy in
placing before our friends this new sort:

‘‘White Cap Yellow Dent is suitable for all climates and soils, and
yet grows large ears and maturesearly. The ear grows as large as

the Peni corn and is from 7 to 10 days earlier, and on poor,
= H thin soil will yield thirty per cent. more corn. It will out-yield
= 2 2 and out-shell the Leaming.

Hy) “Tt is as natural a yielder as weeds, grows strong, rank and
quick, and will produce more corn ou poor, thin soils than any
kind now in cultivation. After growing different varieties of
merit, 8S. H. Todd, of Huron Co., O., the largest breeder of Chester
White hogs in the world, says ‘ White Cap Yellow Dent beats them
all. Itissure to yieid me a crop of good, sound corn. It makes
more bone and eee than any other corn, and I will grow no
other sort.’ One hundred farmess in Huron County, expert corn
growers, will confirm all that can be said about this corn. Grown
with over sixty varieties, it out-yielded all other kinds, and with-

those living in drouth sections and by those farmers who have
poor, thin soil, while on strong, rich soil it has no superior.

The tip ends of the grains are white, the inside yellow, making
a beautiful color. There are more fine points combined in this
corn than any other in cultivation.

Large Spurs in the great corn belt as well as those out of it,
will be pleased with this corn because i is as natural a yielder as
weeds, It yields eA # on poor, thin soil. The ears are large,
handsome and well filled.. It is sure to mature in from 90 to 95 days. It
husks easy and shells easy. It commands the highest market price.

SECOND CROP SEED POTATOES

Extensive and thorough experiments have demonstrated that
second crop potatoes are superior for seed in the north or south
to first crop seed. Second crop potatoes are the potatoes wn
from seed grown the same season planted late and harvested before
they mature in the fall. The result is small to medium sized
potatoes with a great amount of sap and vitality. When
planted they start a very vigorous plant and the vitality stored
up in the tuber gives the plant a good start before it need be
entirely dependent upon sustenance from the soil. Our sec-
ond crop potatoes are grown in Tennessee from northern seed
planted in the spring. Market gardeners and truckers can re-
alize earlier crops and larger crops by planting our second
crop seed and the grower who does not will left by his
enterprising neighbor. Much has been published in the agri-
cultural press lately about second crop seed, and all writers
who have investigated the matter agree in recommending
them. We expect to be able to furnish the following varieties
through the season, but as our stock is limited we advise early
engagement. ;

We regret that we have not more space to devote_to this
important subject of Second Crop Seed Potatoes. Readers
of this catalogue will do well, however, to continue the inves-
tigation and give them a thorough trial.

FARLY HARVES Tubers average very large — skin
nearly white and netted, eyes
slightly indented, shape oval, flattened, flesh white and

handsomest and very productive.

THE BEAUTIFUL, FRACRANT CINNAMON VINE.

A beautiful and rapid climber, possessing the rare quality of emitting from its flowers
the delightful odor of cinnamon, and very appropriately called the ‘“* Cinnamon Vine.”
The plants are grown from bulbs or roots, and are very nice for window ornaments or out-
door culture. They are perfectly hardy, the stem dying down every autumn, but growing
again in the spring so rapidly as to completely cover any trellis or arbor very early in the
season. The vines often run 25 feet or more, and when trained over and about a door or
window make an ornament much admired, whileits many clusters of delicate white flow-
ers send out an amount of fragrance that is truly wonderful. It is easy to cultivate; has
no insect enemies, and is nos affected by drought, because it roots so deeply. The tubers
are called “‘ Chinese Yams ”’ (the botanical name being Dioscorea Batatas); they increase
in size from year to year; are often two feet long at two or three years of age, and run

straight down in deep soil. Flesh whiter than superfine flourand equally as good for table
use as the very

best potatoes. We
have sold these
bulbs for several
years, and the
plant has everin-
¥ creased in popu-
° larity. We have

V EW YELLOW DOLICHOS.

This luxuriantly flowering vine is a most welcome
addition to the list of annual climbers, and as a late,
beautiful and prolific bloomer should have a place in
every flower garden, or wherever bare walls or un-
sightly objects are to be hidden from the eye.

It blooms later in the season than other varieties, be-
ing at its best when earlier climbers are brown and dead.

Erect racemes of bright yellow blooms, similar in
shape to half-opened pea blossoms, form at every joint,
and the leaves and stems are covered with downy,
grayish hairs, producing a most noveleffect. The outer
suriace of the petals is rich brown, interior ppese or
standards soft, glowing canary yellow. The blossoms
are succeeded by slender, rounded pods, which lend
additional beauty to the vines, and are far more effect-
ive than the broad, coarse pods found in other varieties.
The denser foliage of this new Dolichos stands out in
striking contrast to others, covering the poles witha
heavy mass of vines when most other varieties were
half way up the poles. Pkt. 10c, 3 for 25c, oz. 4oc.

NEW SWEET PEA,

AMERICAN BELLE,

IRST introduced last year. Wenow have this va-
riety so that it comes quite true from seed, which,
unfortunately, was not the case last season. It .

shows an important departure from the colorings
and markings of all other varieties—being neither
< striped nor mottled, but distinctly spotted. The
S standard is clear, bright rose of uniform coloring;
wings of crystal-white with bright purplish-car-
minespots. The flowers are very large, of good
substance, and finely formed, while the standard
does not have that tendency to droop so common
in other large-flowered varieties. Of such good
substance are the flowers that they remain per-
fect and keep wellin a bouquet for a long time,
thus rendering this variety most desirable for cut
flowers. Pkt. 10c, 3 pkts. 25c, oz. 40c.

Ricinus Zanzibarensis.

The New Giant Castor Oil Plant from Africa.

From seed sown in the open ground in May the
plants are in full foliage early in July, and attain
a height of twelve to fourteen feet. The leaves are
fully two and a half feet broad, beautifully lobed;
the whole plant has a distinct and novel appear-
ance, enhanced in the sunshine by a bright me-
talic hue; they charm at first sight, and their
usefulness is very great. Solitary on the lawn,
it makes a perfect pyramid of foliage, thickly set

with gigantic leaves; a dozen in a large bed make yy 4

a most picturesque sight. ‘ l yj i ‘

ODERN scientists and inventors are devoting their
Fe time and energies to the problems of utilizing
waste. There are fewer new things “under the sun”’
than many people imagine, but the manners of utilizing
them are what causes us to hold up our hands in aston-
ishment. Steam is as old as the earth, yet the steam
engine which utilizes what was wasted for thousands of
years is of very modern construction. Who will doubt
the existence of electricity since the foundations of the
world were laid? It remained for our Franklin to lay
the foundation of its usefulness, and Edison and others
to utilize it for the great benefits of mankind. The
wind which cooled the brows of Adam and Hye in Par-
adise, and has ever been present, restless and un-
chained, has been harnesssed aud now does the will of
man. There is sufficient force unconsciously going to

waste in our cities and towns every day to drive every
manufactory needing power. Every man, woman and
child, whether in city or country, is continually exerting
a force equal to the weight of the body, whether lying
down, sitting, standing or walking. This force, equal to
millions of pounds, has been going to waste in all time
past, and fromthe condition of things, must continue
to be wasted, to a great extent, for all time to come.
But why not utilize it to as great an extentas possible?
If this force, which every person must exert, can be util-
ized by the agricultural classes to the saving of muscular
exertion, Will it not be a great boon? And will not he
who perfects an Aye a that allows the man, as he
walks across his fields, to take part of his weight (force)
off of the ground and use it for planting or cultivating
his crops, to the saving of muscular exertion, be a public
benefactor? We are now ready to call attention to Ev-
eritt’s Celebrated Man-Weight Farm and Garden
Tools. 4

EVERITT’S CELEBRATED MAN-WEIGHT FARM and GARDEN TOOLS.

HESE great machines were invented and patented |
bf by J. A. EVERITT, in 1891, and greatly improved for |
1895. The great advantage of this invention can be partly
understood by studying the illustrations on last cover
page, but no person can fully realize their grand ad-
vantage, until he uses the machines. They are a
great boon to all cultivators of the soil, and
must be classed with the great inventions of the |
age, yet they are so simple that the natural question
with every one is: ‘‘Why didI not think of that?”’
So nicely do they fill a want existing with thousands of
gardeners, nurserymen, seedsmen, florists and farmers, |
that after the first trial they invariably conclude to
‘never do without them.’”’ The Man-Weight Culti-
vators are worth their weight in silver, if notin gold,
to any One who cultivates the soil. All who have used
the machines unanimously endorse them in the strong-
est language. We have heard sensible, shrewd garden-
ers remark: ‘‘I would not sell them for $25.”’ ‘$100
would not tempt me to do without them one season,’’
ete. They are the only machines we know of that sug-
gests sufficient merit and practical utility at first sight
to sell without atrial. The first gardener who saw the
machine at Indianapolis, gave his order for the |
first one we could make. Other gardeners at once |
acknowledged that it is just what they want, and |

many remarked that * If all gardeners knew of these
machines they could not be made fast enough
to supply the demand.” A trial by any person will
demonstrate the wonderful utility of these machines.
Any person possessing them will make it impossible for
his neighbors to compete with him in raising crops.

There are several features on the Man-Weight Tools
which are novel and make a tool vastly superior to any
other hand power or horse machines:

1. We mention the push bar. In operation, the body
is inclined forward, thus taking part of the weight of the
body off of the ground and directing it against the ma-
chine. In this way the machine is propelled by the
weight of the body, without any muscular exertion what-
ever.. To those who object to using this machine, be-
cause, as some have said, ‘‘ We won’t be a horse,” we
will say /o push this machine across the field is no harder
than to walk across empty handed. Your weight does the
work. Without this machine all your weight is wasted
on the ground.

2. By means of the push-bar we propel and guide
the machine, hence the drag-bar can be hinged, and are
adjustable in all directions; thus the tools attached to
the drag-bars perform the work just as a weeder would
in your hands. It is the only cultivator made that

ductive and very early. Grows to height of 18 to 20 inches. The beans
are very white, of finest flavor and cook in much fess time than the

HOOSIER KING—This magnificent melon
was produced in Indiana by a large melon
grower by hybridization and careful selection,
until he produced a melon that controlled the
market. For years he has been growing them
on his farm and shipping them to the Indian-
apolis market, much to his own profit and to
the annoyance of other shippers, as his melons
were sought after by retailers and consumers in
pretoenoe to any others. Read what Mr. Rees

ant Ciibing TOMATO:

-§ ~ REAT progress has been made in late years in the
pre ie Ad improvement of the tomato. Quite in contrast
CApss with the small ill-shaped, sour specimens of a
few years ago are the large, smooth, sweet fruits
so easily raised now. Great rivalry exists in
localities as to who ean raise the earliest or the
largest tomatoes. We offer in the GIANT
CLIMBING TOMATO the greatest novelty
in this line, and whoever raises it, according
to directions printed on each package, will have
an attraction that will draw all eyes toward
their garden.

This is not a tree tomato. The term “ tree,”
frequently applied to tomatoes, is geherally in-
tended to mislead. Wedo not call grapes “‘Tree
Grapes,’ because they will climb up a trellis.
The GIANT CLIMBING TOMATO needs a
support to climb upon, when they will grow 10
to 15 feet high, bearing fruit all along the vine
from the ground up. The tomatoes grow to
weigh from 2 to 4 lbs. each, and in size 10 to 16
, ins. in circumference. Nearly all the tomatoes
® are smooth and regular in shape; color glossy
~ red; sound to the core, with very few seeds.
The flavor is all that can be desired. They are
ever-bearing, only cut off by frost. These to-
matoes can be grown on the garden fence, on
the sunny side of a house or outbuilding, orin
any position where a support is provided. The
more public the situation the more will they
be admired.

We print a few reports. Many more could be
given, if space permitted :

‘“ Your Giant Climbing Tomatoes are immense. f
have them weighing 2% Ibs., and the people see that
they are wonderful.”

GEO. R. Boots, Ludlow, Mass,

“One plant of Giant Tomatoes grew over8 feet
high. The best cluster was 7 tomatoes weighing 6
Ibs. all ripe at one tim .”

Wm. YEATES, Titusville, Pa,

“The Giant Climbing Tomatoes are wonderful in
size and fine quality. One fruit weighed 3 Ibs. 1 oz,”
C. H. Cox, Basecobel, Pa.

“The Giant Tomatoes averaged a yield of nearly
a bushel to each plant. One vine grew 14 feet high.”
H. D. MussER, Rohrestown, Pa.

“‘It is a pleasure to see your Giant Climbing To-
matoes grow, and any person can well be proud of them.
They are mammoth in size and wonderful in tall growth.
I haye some specimens measuring 16 ins. in cire.mference
and over 6 inchesi i diameter. Fine flavor and better than
[ thought they could be. You cann t recommend them too
: highly. Mrs. WM. CRABBE, West Branch, Cal.

Our Cleaning Department has been removed to the fifth story of our building, and by the addition

f elevators, bins, etc., and the most perfect cleaning apparatus, we can now clean 4,000 bushels of
Wheat, Oats and other coarse seed, ae 1,000 bushels of Clover or Grass Seed daily. There is not an-
other general seed house in the country possessing the facilities we have in this direction and but

few enjoy such a trade as we are favored with.

CLOVER SEED.

Price Liable to Vary.

Bags, extra for each 2% bushels or less, 18c each.

1io4lbs. are prepaid by mail. Larger quantities by freight
or express. /

MAMMOTH CLOVER. (Pea Vineor English). Like
common or medium clover, but of larger growth.
Largely grown. Of great value to sow on exhausted
land. For hay, we recommend sowing a mixture of
this and common clover. Much used for green ma-
nuring. By mail, pkt. 10c, lb. 40c, 4 Ibs. $1.25.
By freight or express, bu. $6.00. Select Quality,
bu. $6.25; Highest Quality, bu. $6.50-

ALSIKE. (Trifolium hybridum). This clover is de-
servedly in repute as one of the best perennial clovers,
and is well adapted to this country. From the results
of experiments, it is found to thrive on soils which are
termed by farmers ‘‘ cloversick.’? For this quality, es-
pecially, it has proved a valuable acquisition, and is
now generally approved of in all mixtures of grasses

and clovers. Should be more generally grown. Sowin
spring same as common clover. It will stand for years.
Seed weighs 60 lbs. per bushel and is very small. On
this account a bushel will sow from 12 to 15 acres,
making it one of the cheapest varieties to seed with.

or express, bu. $7.50. Select Quality, bu. $8.00;
Highest quality, bu. $8.50.

LUCERNE or ALFALFA CLOVER— Lucerne should
not be sown on hard, compact soil, or with hard sub-soil, but
on sandy, open or porous soil. Even where no other crop will
grow, it finds its natural home, and yields enormously. The
great value of Lucerne is in its enormous yield of
sweet and nutritious forage, which is highly relished
by stock, either when green or cured into hay. It will
grow and yield abundantly in hot, dry sections, and on

oor, light and sandy land, where no other grasses can

e grown, for it sends its roots down to enormous
depths, they haying been found in sandy soil seventeen
feet long. Sow about 15 lbs. per acre in March or April.
It can be cut three times in a season, and will produce
magnificent crops for 10 to 15 years without renewing.
60 lbs. per bu.
$1.25. By freight or express, bu. $6.00; Select
Quality, $6.25; Highest Quality, $6.50.

CRIMSON, or SCARLET CLOVER. (Trifolium
Incarnatum). A more valuable crop than this annual
clover does not exist. As an improver of the soil, or
for an early summer forage or hay crop it is unsurpassed.
As a green manuring crop for grain, fruit or trucking
crops it gives the very best results, while for improving

or land it has no equal. Itsucceeds on nearly every

rind of soil, standing Southern suns and Northern win-
_ters, and is now grown largely in a number of States,
and has succeeded in every State in the Union where
tried. Sow 10 to 15 lbs. to the acre. Can be sown any
month in the year. The best months for fall are August
and September; for spring Merch and April. Pkt.10c,

TIMOTHY. (Phiewm Pratense). This is decidedly

the best grass for hay, making a large return of strong,
zich hay. Though somewhat coarse and hard, espe-
cially if allowed to ripen its seed, yet, if cut in the blos-
som, or directly after, is greatly relished by all kinds of
stock, and especially so by horses, while it possesses a
large percentage of nutritive matter in comparison
with other agricultural grasses. It grows very rapidly
and yields very large crops on favorable soils. 45 lbs.

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. (Poa _ Pratensis).
This is known in some sections as ‘‘ June Grass.”’ It is
the best pasture for our climate and soil, succeeding
finely on hill lands and producing the most nourishing
food for cattle; retains its qualities to a late period in
winter, and further South affording abundant food
throughout the winter. Sow early in the spring or

ORCHARD GRASS. (Dactylis Glomerata). This is
one of the most valuable and widely known of all pas-
ture grasses, coming earlier in the spring and remain-
ing later in the autumn than any other. It grows
about 244 feet high, producing an immense quantity of
leaves and foliage. Blooms with red clover, and makes
with it an admirable hay. It is well adapted forsowing
under trees in orchards, and very valuable either for
grazing or for hay. 14 lbs. per bushel. Sow 1% to2

Ib. 25c, 4 ibs. 75c, bu. $1.85. Highest Quality,

RED TOP. (Agrostis Vulgaris), A valuable grass
for moist soils and low lands. It is a good, permanent
grass, standing our climate as well as any other, and,
Se ek well suited to our pastures, in which it
should be fed close, for if allowed to grow uP to seed
the cattle refuse it. On moist, rich soil it will grow 2
feet, and on poor, graveily soil, about half that height.

eS vermig attention is not given to farm seeds by the majority of farmers, and by
most seedsmen this department is made of secondaryimportance. This is not as
RIGAGE it should be. These are the crops in which the farmer is most interested. They are
. money crops. Success or failure depends on them, hence how important that those

rarieties be selected that are the most reliable and give the greatest results. As an

observing man passes through a farming community, those farmers can be
pointed out who are enterprising, wide-aw vake and progressive. The surround-
ings are a fair index of thefarmer. The experimenting farmer is the most
prosperous of all. He recognizes that varieties of grain and vegetables are run-
ning out (dying) and that new ones must take their place. He procures seed of
all the promising kinds, tests them and selects the best to grow. Thus he al-
ways has the best, and all farmers who understand their business know that
there is a great difference between the best and the poorest varieties of farm
crops. We can help farmers along the road to prosperity if they procure
their farm seeds of us. They will ‘LIFT THE MORTGAGE and swell the

large and results be yond the reasonable expectation of parties planting it, as
the past two seasons have been very trying ones In many cases this was the
only variety of corn that made a reasonable yield. We regret exceedingly that
we have not space to print many of the reports received., Below are samples:

| if J White Dent Corn. :

‘™ FORSYTH’S FAVORITE >

Our Introduction of 1892.

! Or the preceding page we offer a corn that is remarkable in its reliability and is almost
, certain to bring success, as far as it can be realized in a corn crop, to all who raise it.
On the next page we again offer the wonderful EARLY MASTODON, of which we sell
thousands of bushels annually, and in not one season yet have we had a sufficient
supply to meet the demand, while on this page and page 53 your particular attention
is asked to the greatest of all white varieties of corn, Forsyth’s Favorite and First
Premium White Dents. Two grand yellows and two grand whites.
. This corn was originated in Johnson Co., Ind., in that section known as the Gar-
den Spot of this great Corn State, and in the few years since its distinct character-
- istics have been brought out, it has made both a local and national reputation.
It is conceded to be the largest eared and deepest grained early white corn ever seen in
this market. All who see it proclaim it a king in the great corn family. ,
In describing this corn we must speak of the size of the ears as mammoth, being
8 to 15 inches long, with grains averaging about half inch long, and sometimes con-
tain grains 34 inch im length. The number of rows on a cob range from 16 to 24,
and ears containing 1,500 to 2,000 grains are quite common. Grains pure white, cob
white and usually hollow at butt end, which allows the ear to dry out quickly, and ena-
bles the grower to crib this corn before smaller varieties are fit. We recommend it for
a: this latitude and all points South, and it can be grown 100 miles North by select-
S ing ground that will admit of early planting. The following well-known farmers
LOR <= Ww ot Johnson County attest to the grand properties of this corn, and say it can
Le a he cribbed ahead of any of their common field corn, and also that it yields

” We have sold this corn three seasons, with the most
flattering results. It has become a great favorite. Our
crop this year is exceptionally fine and notwith-
standing the unfavorable season, is thoroughly
matured. We have a large part of ourse

New blood.

Bigger crops.

All who have tested the Early Mastodon Corn pronounce it the most valuable Yellow Dent Corn, of strong-
est growth, longest grain, largest ears, smallest cob, quickest to ear, finest fodder, and most pro-
ductive variety they ever raised. In short, we are fully convinced that if its merits were known by all

corn-growers, there would be such a demand for seed that no six
counties in the famous corn State of Indiana could grow enough seed
to supply the demand. Every corn-grower should get enough to
plant a field or more, and thus get a variety of corn that will

enormously increase his crop, and correspondingly increase his
profits. Many bushels 0f Mastodon Corn can _be sold in every

neighborhood for seed at a large price, until all are supplied. ,

We never before had such uniformly favorable reports for
anything we sold. The growers can not praise this corn,
the greatest novelty of the age in the corn line, suffi
ciently. Reada few reports. We have hundreds more:

“T am well pleased with the Early Mastodon Corn. It was
cut down by the frost the 24th of May, but came on strong,
and yielded 75 bu. shelled corn per acre.”

M. Burns, Darke Co., O.

“The Mastodon Corn is a marvel of the age. Itis
the finest corn I ever saw. I cannot use words to praise
it enough. It is the largest, deepest grained and :
best of all large field corns, and the earliest I ever
saw. It is all you claim forit. All the neighbors
want it. I will give you a few words from men
of experience who have been at my farm and

UR artist has tried to faithfully portray the beauty of this grand variety and to a preat extent has succeeded.
O The large ear is a fair representation of an ear 11 inches long reduced in size. The inches as platted are ra)
of actual length, hence the ear is only % of actual length. The hill of corn will show style of growth, and with
the picture of Mr, Trout, the originator, who is good sized man, to serve as a basis for comparison, a very
clear idea can be had of this corn as it grows in the field. Mr. Trout is the champion corn-grower of his county,
and has been regularly excelling all his wide-aw:. <e neighbors in his corn product. We name it First Premium,
because of the fact that it has been awarded | ighest honors wherever exhibited. It is a pure ivory white corn
on a white cob. Ears grow longer and not so thick as our Forsyth Favorite and grains do not average quite so
long. The grains are of fine texture, smooth, compact, sound and heavy. Its purity in color adapts it for mak-
ing White Meal and other corn products. Matures in 100 to 110 days, is finely adapted to all sections, south of a
line 75 miles north of Indianapolis, and will give all growers great satisfaction in quality and productiveness.
The names signed to the reports we publish below are
among the wealthiest and most influential men in the
neighborhood where this corn originated. All complete ad-
dresses are on file in our office:

We control the entire supply of the Calgarry Gray Oats.
Start right by getting the genuine of us.

CALGARRY GRAY OATS.

This extremely early, extra heavy, very productive Rust-Proof
variety of oats was produced by crossing the Prince Edwards Island
Black and the White Russian; producing a beautiful brownish gray
oats; a decided new strain of this important cereal. They are very
beautiful in growth and grain. The grain shining like polished
metal, or as one of our friends expressed himself, ‘‘ They are as fine «
as silk.’” The ype is well fixed and combines all the desirable quali-
ties as weight of grain, earliness, rust-proof, great streugth of straw

and feeding qualities. Careful feeders of horses know that
in feeding whbdle grain oats much depends upon
the nature of the hull or chaff. A _ rough,
gritty chaff acts upon the stomach
of a horse so as io expel much of

the grain undigested. The hull of Calgarry is soft and
fineintexture. Toillustrate, place one hand in a bag of
Calgarry gray and the other in a bag of any other oats.
The Colearry will feel soft and velvety, while the other
will feel harsh and woody. Again, grasp a handful
tightly, withdraw your hands from the sacks, open
them, and the Calgarry will slip from your hand like
an eel, while the other will have penetrated the skin of
the hand so as to hold many of the oats. All these
Stay qualities, combined with a larger percentage of
ernels to berry than any other, makes absolutely the
best feeding oats in cultivation. The Calgarry Gray
Oats Grow very dwarf, even on strong ground; seldom
exceeding 3 feet in length, while 2% feet is about the
average length. This is a great point for those farmers
who have rich ground. Nothing short of a moderate
eyclone will put them down. They ripen the earliest
of all. These oats can be put in shock before Welcome
Bonanza, White Russian, ete., turn yellow. This qual-
ity of itself is sufficient recommendation to place them
ahead of any other variety, as by their early maturity
they escape the hot sun, dry weather, storms and rust
that prevail about the time ordinary sorts mature. In
the important matter of productiyeness they have out-
yielded all other sorts where placed in competition in
experiments and in ordinary field culture.
he extracts from reports of the Illinois Agricultural
Experiment Station, given below, will be very interest-
ing and speak volumes.

tion Report.
Yield, per acre, Calgarry Gray, 54.5 bushels. Ripe, Cal-
garry Gray, uy 25. Percent. of kernel in berry, Cal-
garry Gray, 77.43.

In the experiments, the abovevwvariety led in the par-
licular points mentioned; the number of varieties
tested was 59. The average yield was 39.8. The aver-
age per cent. of kernel to berry was 69.57.

“TJ think the Calgarry Gray Oats are superior to any other
oats I ever raised. They excel in yield other kinds 10 to 15
bushels per acre. Extra early and my crop weighs 42 pounds
per bushel, struck measure. They stand up best and mature
plump and heavy under the hottest sun, where other oats are
killed.” : S. J. BARRETT, Ford Co., Il.

@ The-fame of the Calgarry Oats having spread to my neigh-
borhood, I took pains to test them, and I am happy to be
able to say that the results have more than equaled the rec-
ommendation given them. They mature earlier and excel in
productiveness and quality any kind that I have heretofore
grown.”’ P. TRAVIS, Barry Co., Mich.

“JT take great pleasure in testifying to the merits of the
Calgarry Gray Oats. I find them to be free from rust, of
great weight of grain, straw very strong and are a long
ways the best feeding oats I haye ever known. Extremely
early ; in fact, the earliest oats I ever grew.”’

VERITT’S WHITE SUPERIOR SCOTCH OATS—Surpasses all

‘, others in heavy weight, thin hall, shortness and plumpness of
grain, strength of straw and productiveness. In short, they are
the most profitable for farmers to grow and merchants to handle. Their produe-
tiveness, weight, and fine qualities place them at the head of the list. They
ripen evenly and very early, and notwithstanding they bear a very
if spreading head, filled completely with the plump grains almost as ht

| as wheat, they stand up:stiff_ and straight until fully matured;
strong straw adapts them to rich bottom ground, where commome
fall down and waste. One of our growers reports a yield of 153% bus.

you see them you will not be surprised that such enormous risladine

grown will yield 100 bus. of these.

The following truthful, responsible farmers, who live in the neigh-
borhood where our crops are grown, endorse them as being very early,
with stiff straw, extremely heavy and productive, and altogether a pro table
variety to grow: Demas Bricker, Louis Fitzenburg, Chas. H. Coe, Col. L
P. Larimore, J. R. Headington, Ephraim Daily, Samuel Morey, Wm,
Matton, Chas. Twining, L. 8. Hall, J. G. Case, and E. W. Hawkins.
These farmers all live in Knox county, Ohio, and would not misrepre-
sent an article, but add their names and testimony to these fine oats
as evidence of their worth, and with the hope that their brother farmers
will prefit by their observations. They were exhibited at the Hartford
(O.) Fair under the name of “Everitt Oats,” and received the first
premium, and a special recommendation for their fine quality and great
weight by the Committee on Farm Grains. Committeemen—Wm. H,
Perkins, Geo. N. Jackson, A. K, Sutton.

Want of space forbids us publishing hundreds of testimonials that
we have received. Below is asample:

Gro. W. Myers, who has threshed grain for thirty years, says: “‘The White
Superior Scotch Oats have a good straw, ripen even and very early. For yield,
weight and quality they are superior to any other variety I have found in an
experience of thirty years threshing farm grain.”

which make up the main crops of the country? BE PROGRESSIVE. Geta

If there is one department of our business in which we ex-
cel more particularly than another it is the Seed Potato
Department. We have always made great specialties of
Seed Potatoes. Although we do not introduce one-fourth
as many varieties as do some other seedsmen, yet when we
send out a new variety it goes out to find a welcome and a
home with every grower. Ourconservative course has gained
for our house the confidence of potato raisers and as a conse-
quence our trade is not excelled in this line by any house in
the country.

POTATO EYES OR WHOLE POTATOES.

Within the past few years many seedsmen have
Ps adopted the plan of sending potato eyes by mail

and devote considerable space to explaining the
beauties and advantages of the potato eye scheme. It is a
good scheme to talk on and will influence some orders from.
the inexperienced, but it is all wrong. Within one week aficr
the potatoes are cut they have lost a great share of their vi-
tality and if obtained early in the season before planting time
has arrived the chances are you haye lost one-half of them
entirely and the balance will make only a feeble growth.
Wesend by mail, medium size, sound, whole tu-
bers. Lib. of these will contain from 5 to 8 pota-
toes and from 50 to 80 eyes. One pound of potato
eyes will comprise from 25 to 35 eyes, and they will not have
much flesh at this rate. Note the difference; besides, by
our improved method of hb eri seed and planting we
make one whole potato equal to 3 as usually tandicd: and

MARKET iil do all this. It is worth its weight in gold for a start of f
seed to many market gardeners, as with it they can get the fancy prices "fre ;
before other kinds come in market. We offer for consideration the accom - |pag@itee 23 Rip? ge
pacing report from the originator, who has been a potato grower all his |Beamas PE ai 8 is
ife, and is now 54 years old, and from others whose addresses are on file in Fes
our office. After reading these reports you can no longer doubt that this is
a most remarkable variety.| This new potato originated in Ohio and we
purchased of the originator the entire stock and right tointroduceit. The
originator says: ‘‘ They have created so much excitement in my neigh-
borhood that I could sell my whole crop to my neighbors at a fancy price.”’
Grows medium to large size, oblong to round shape, light, flesh-colored
skin; White flesh ; very smooth shape; eyes even with the surface; tubers
grow close together in the hill. The potatoes begin to form when the
vines are only four to five inches high. The top and tubers grow rapidiy,
and at 6 weeks from planting are a fine marketable size, and
reach maturity in 72 days. As a table potato they are not excelled;
even for late spring they keep sound and solid. They grow so rapidly and
mature so early that potato bugs have no chance at all, making theircrop, if ,
planted early, before the young bugs become numerous; while for
yield they are wonderful, considering their extreme earliness. In 1888
the yield was at the rate of 420 bushels per acre; in 1889 they
yielded at the rate of over 380 bushels per acre without ma-
nure; while in 1891 they yielded at the rate of over 600 bushels
per acre. The originator says about this potato:

“Potatoes have been my favorite crop since I was a boy and I al-
ways took great pleasure in seeing what good crops and
large yields I could get, but never did I see a nicer potato than this.
TI heve raised a great many kinds, sent for the earliest in the cata-
logues,and have raised them from seed, and got some very good
ones, but none that came up to my ideal of a perfect potato until I
originated this. I have now discarded all others, and raise this for
early and main crop, for market and home use. I am fully convinced
that I have at last produced the best early potato in cultivation. 1tcom-
bines more good qualities than any other variety in the world.

Grown on a light gray soil, and without manure or fertilizer, they [i

ielded at the rate of 380 bushels per acre, which can be mecreased

y potato manure.

In a careful comparative test with three other varieties, each of
which have been claim-
ed to be the earliest,
the following results
were obtained: All

“*$10 per bushel would not buy

handsome profits.”

DANIEL DONOVAN, Carroll Co., Tenn.

“Our Early 6-Weeks Market Potato produced over one hun-

“ Twenty hills of Early 6-Weeks Market Potatoes yielded a
heaped bushel. They bear out your claims for earliness,
quality and productiveness. Thanks for calling my attention

them.” EMIL LAURENCE, Worcester Co., Mass.

**T would give hundreds of dollars to control the growing
of the Early 6-Weeks Market Potato for this market, as they
can be put on the market two weeks ahead of any other sort,
which means hundreds of dollars’ profit to a large grower.”

W. Henry Morris, Cuyahoga Co., O.

“You can not praise the Early 6-Weeks Market Potato too
much, Gardeners should not think of doing without them.
I dug 50 bushels off 4 acre, beginning 6 weeks from planting,
which averaged me 50c a peck. They are wonderful.”

This wonderful medium late potato was raised from seed
borne on the Dunmore, impregnated with pollen from the
Excelsior, originated in Vermont, and was introduced by us
in 1885. That it is an extraordinary and exceedingly valuable
variety there is not adoubt. Its handsome form, white skin
and large size recommend it everywhere. The flesh is white
and fine grained, cooks dry and mealy, and is of superior
flavor. This is the case when first dug, and they retain their
good cooking qualities and keep sound and perfect until the
new crop comes again. As a variety to keep for late
apring use ithas no equal. Vines grow vigorously,
foliage deep green, the tubers grow compactly in the hill,
which is completely crowded with fine, large po-
tatoes. They ripen in August if planted in April, and in the
important matter of productiveness they are
perfectly marvelous. This quality combined, as it is,
with fine appearance and good table qualities, makes the
Green Mountain one of the most. valuable late varieties
in the country, and in preg ree all other late potatoes in
sections where it has beenintroduced. Read the reports from
the Rural New Yorker Experimental grounds:

Green Mountain Potato was planted April! 7 and the
crop harvested August 27, the variety being, therefore, a late
intermediate. They were dug under the supervision of E.
Williams, Secretary of the New Jersey Horticultural Society,
and Charles L. Jones, of Newark, N. J., who, with the editor
of the Rural New Yorker, weighed and estimated the yield,
which was at therateof 1,391 1-2 BUSHELS PER
ACRE. There was an average of MI 2-5 to the hill and an
average of 3-4 Ibs. to the _ Lem bi hes bomen two

lso, from a letter from the Ecitor of the Rural New
vaket, under date of December €, we quote: “Of all the
potatoes we have ever tested, this Green Moun-
tain yields the most. It ‘s an immense yielder.
Again Mr. Carman wrote as under date of October 17,
after trying them the second year: “The Green Mountain
Potato surprises me. They yield well, considering the
desperately bad season. They were the best of any (there

O all our customers who have bought of us in the
past such celebrated potatoes as the Mammoth
Peart, O.K., Mammoth Prolific, the Everitt Green
Mountain, and the early Six-Weeks’ Market, we an-
nounce that this Rural New Yorker No. 2 is worthy
their careful attention and extensive cultivation.
Thorough trials, both in America and in Europe, have
proved it to be one of the most valuable sorts.

It is entitled to stand abreast with our great
Green Mountain as a general cropper. We are
ready to stake our reputation on the Rural New Yorker
Potato pleasing our customers.

It isintermediate in season, ripening about September
Ist if planted about May Ist. Very distinct and beau-
tifulin appearance, differing from any other variety.
The general shape is shown by the illustration, except
oftentimes they run abruptly to a point at the stem
end. They are flattened, being much broader than
thick through. This is avery valuable feature, as no
difference how large the tubers grow (and they grow
very large) they will always cook through quickly and
evenly. Skin is white, surface very smooth, with eyes
perfectly even. Flesh of the whitest and has not a su-
perior as a table potato. We particularly emphasize the
great vigor of growth of this variety, which enables it
to resist disease, blight and bugs to a remarkable degree
and yield heavy crops even in unfavorable seasons.
Our own crops and reports from our customers places
it well in the lead in point of productiveness. In six
crops selected, the average yield was 429 bush-
els per acre. The Rural New Yorker has received
more favorable reports trom the agricultural press than
any other variety in late years, therefore it is not neces-
sary to dwell on its merits in this catalogue. We guar-
antee our seeds to please and the crop to be highly sat-

isfactory.

CET NEW BLOOD.

A great many opportunities are lost in this world for
want of alittle courage. Why wait until next year to
improve your crops? This year will never come back.
Use it now and when next year comes you can improve
italso. If you wait to consult your brothers and uncles
and cousins about this or that thing, the chances are
the season is past before you decide. This plan would
do before the fiood, when men lived several hundred
years. In this nineteenth century, when everything
goes with a rush, you must keep up with the procession
or be trodden in the dust.

We have always preached the necessity of changing
seed frequently. We know it costs a little money to
start with. We are sorry there are so many expenses
connected with the seed business, as we want to sell at
prices that will make it possible for everybody to get
our seeds.

The following combination will allow those people,
who can not buy large quantities of each, on account
of Jack of money or will not on account of lack of faith,
to get a start and see what improvements are being
made year after year. It should be very popular:

NLIKE the doctors’ pills: “If they do no

@j} good, they will do no harm,” our potatoes

are positive in results. If you take them,

they will do you good. To those who have
not been planting our potatoes we will say that
we always have the best in this line, having
made specialties of seed P gens from the begin-
ning of our business, and our house has the re
utation for years of being ‘‘ THE CHAMPIO
SEED POTATO HOUSE OF THE COUN.
TRY.”

For strong growth, drought resisting qualities
and great size of tubers, the Colossal is unsur-
passed. 50 potatoes can be selected from almost
any crop that will make a bushel. The surface

jim) of the largest potatoes are quite regular, consid-

bby i) iw), ering their great size, with the eyes slightly de-

- eum, pressed ; but the medium size tubers are smooth,

wigem’ with eyes even with the surface. Skin is of flesh

color; flesh white and floury when boiled or

baked; very delicate flavor. Tubers oblong and flattened on sides, thus allowing them to cook through

quickly, regardless of size. Tubers grow bunched in the hill, and are easily dug by hand or machine. They
ripen medium late, and in keeping qualities for fall, winter and spring are unexcelled.

Ve need not say that we recommend this potato highly. The fact that we give it a place in our catalogue is
evidence that we regard it with great favor, and that our reputation as potato experts will not suffer when it is
put to the severe test of general cultivation.

Every person who receives this catalogue should avail himself of the opportunities presented to make money.

The new potatoes we offer will be in demand for seed until all growers aresupplied. If one enterprising person in
each neighborhood will undertake to grow a crop of them, he will find a market for them at home at a high price.
Many a great business had a small beginning; as an illustration, the business which this catalogue represents is
the direct result of 50 cents invested in a new variety of potatoes, not a great many years ago.

mee oe of Everitt’s Colossal Potato we will make moderate, so every person can get a small or large amount
without delay. ;

By mail, post paid, 1 lb. 30c, 4 Ibs. $1.00. By freight or express, 14 bu. 75c, bu. $2.50, 1 bbl. &6.00.

We will send 1 bbl. Colossal and 1 bbl. of Everitt’s Onward for $11.00. One barrel will plant one
acre, or equal three barrels by our improved process of preparing the seed. Full particulars will be sent to every

tec Pos purchaser, if requested.

HYBRIDIZED POTATO SEED.

New varieties of potatoes are originated by planting
the small seed taken from the balls that grow on potato
tops. The best varieties are usually produced from hy-
bridized seed. This is seed that contains the blood from
two or more varieties mingled. We offer the best hybri-
dized seed that is bound to produce valuable new varie-

ties. Pkt. 20c.

3. As is evident, the power obtained, the amount of
work that can be done and the cao pd of the work are
far in excess of any other hand tool, nearly equaling
horse power in quantity, while the quality of the work is
“ar superior to horse power work.

and where the work is too heavy for other hand ma-
chines, these fill the bill to perfection. By one man
pulling ahead, sod or other ground can be broken up.

5. Double the amount can be raised on a given piece
of ground than with a horse plow. This is accom-
plished by closer planting and frequent cultivation.
