LACONNER, SKAGIT CO., WASH., Jan. 1, 1912. To All Our Friends and Customers:

With this our TWENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL GREETING, we wish to thank you one and all. for the many generous orders sent us last year, and for the many kind words you wrote about our Seeds. We wish to remind you that another Seed Time is approaching, and that we are ready to fill each and every order, large or small, promptly and carefully, with our very Best Seeds, of the very best kinds, for your use. We do not claim to grow all our seeds here ourselves, but such as we do not grow, here, we have grown for us by experienced growers, in localities where they can best be grown.

Some kinds of Seeds, Beets, Mangels, Carrots, Peas and Timothy, are very searce the world over, this year, so you would do well to order early, before the supply is exhausted.

With each order for seeds by Packets, Ounces or Quarter Pounds, we will put in a Free Packet, for each 50c of your order, if you will say what kinds will be most acceptable to you. But this does not apply to the Special Offer Collections, nor on pound orders.

For Instructions for Ordering, see next page, which I hope you will read very carefully, and be sure to sign your name when you order. Many customers forget to do that each year, and then wonder why the seeds do not arrive. We fill each order same day received, whenever we can, so in case you should not receive your seeds promptly, write us about it, so we can find out what has gone wrong.

We have the largest Mail Order Seed business in the Northwest, and we find the Postal service very reliable. Letters or packages are very seldom lost or delayed, when properly addressed.

If you have never ordered your seeds by mail tefore, be sure and try it this year, and see how easy and safe it is, and how quickly you will get them.

MANGEL WURTZEL BEETS

For Stock

Long experience has proved that the nutritious, juicy beet aids in the digestion of dry foods. Cows keep in better condition, give more and better milk, and fatten more rapidly when beets are fed with their daily rations. No root is more easily grown or pro- duces greater yield per acre. Sow in rows three feet apart, and thin to 12 to 18 inches apart for large roots. The Giant kinds grow to weigh forty to fifty pounds each on good soil. (Four pounds of seed to the acre.)

GIANT YELLOW OR GATE POST. Also called Golden Leviathan. Beau- tiful russet color; remarkably even in shape; very smooth. Flesh white, firm and sweet. Yields enormous crops and is an excellent keeper. Lb.,

lb. 65c; 1-2 Ib. 35c; 1-4 lb. 20c; oz. 10c.

This is the latest pattern of Planet Jr. Seeders, with larger wheel and improved feed and cut off.

For better description, send for Catalogue.

“PLANET JR.’’ No. 4, Combined Hill and Drill Seeder, Single Wheel Hoe, Cultivator and Plow.

This admirable tool combines in a single con- venient implement a capital hill dropping seeder, a perfect drill seeder, a single wheel hoe, a cul- tivator and a plow.#/Jt hoids three pints as qa seeder, sowing in continuous rows, or dropping in hills at any distance. It is thrown out of gear by simply raising the handles. The index is accurate, simple and easily set. The drill is detached and the tool frame substituted by removing but one bolt. It then becomes a single wheel hoe, garden plow or cultivator. It is useful almost every day in the seascn. We sell more of these than any other size.

“PLANET JR.’’ No. 25, Combined Hill and Drill Seeder and Double Hoe, Cultivator, Rake and Plow.

This can easily be changed from single-wheel seeder to dcuble-wheel hoe, and is intended for gardeners who have a large enough acreage for a double wheel hoe, and yet prefer not to buy a separate wheel hoe. As a drill it is almost identical with the No 4 Drill, and as a wheel hoe it is the same as the No. 12 Double-Wheel Hoe. It is both tools combined.
