Grass Is King I! jagt der Umerifaner um da-
mit anjubdeuten dak der Grasbau die mwidhtigite
hund bervorragenfte Role in der Landwirth{ daft
einnimmt. (Mer Gras hat der hat Brod.”’
jagt Schmerz ein “hervorragender deutiher Land-
witht, und Mehr Gras bedeutet mehr

Sutter und mehr Futterbedeutetmehr
| Biehbundmehr Mild. Mehr Vieh be-
beutetwieder mehr Dünger und mehr
Dünger mehr Pflanzennahrung und
binehr Getreide. Mehr Getreide und
mehr Mild aber bedeutet mehr Geld.

Somit fann man mit Recht den Grasbau als die
| Grundlage u. das Jundament des wohlitandes der
| Farmer bezeichnen. Wo Grasbau getrieben wird
da blüht auch die Viehzucht, und wo die Viehzucht
I blüht da blüht auch der Aderbau. Das ijt der
| rechte AckerSmann der ftarf den Boden diingen fann,
der Wechfel halt auf feinem Feld und jeinen Ader
tief bejtellt, fein Vieh in gutem Stand erhält. Am
"Vieh aber erfennt man gemwöhnlid) den Wirth.

' Wie jteht es nun aber mit dem Grasbau im All:
(gemeinen und im Großen und Ganzen? Kein
Zweig der Landwirthichaft ift hierzulande jo ver-
Innachlafjigt wie gerade der Grasbau. Sn einzelnen

Gegenden unjeres neuen großen Vaterlandes fret-
| lich wird dem Anbau der zahmen und befferen
| Grasarten {don mehr aber nod) lange nicht die
'gebührende Aufmerkfjamfeit gefhenft. Sm den ofi-
liden Staaten und in der Nähe groper Städte
iji dies bejonders der Fall, wahrend in den weniger
‘| bicht befiedelten wejtliden und nordmejtliden
| Staaten dem Anbau von zahmen Grafern nod
‚wenig Aufmerfjamfeit gejchenft wurde. Aber die
nod vorhandenen wilden oder Pratriemiejen gehen

alljährlich ftarfim Ertrage zurück und die Farmer
‚find gendthigt die bejjeren natürlichen Grafer anzu-
bauen.

Wher aud) ba wo das Land durd) anhaltenden
Getreidebau ausgejogen wurde und leichte Ernten
‘die Kegel find wird durd den mehr verbreiteten
"Anbau von Kleegras dem Lande die alte Trag-
J} jabigfeit wiedergegeben. Wenn das niedergejäete
| Stic Land außerdem noch als Weide benußt wird,
| jo trägt der Weidedünger den das Land nod als
| Grtra Zugabe erhält, in 2 oder 3 Sahren außerdem
| nod viel zur Berbeljerung und Bereicherung des
|'Boden3 bei.

Auf diefer und den folgenden Seiten habe ich die
| widhtigften Wiejen und Weidegräjer und die ver-
| {chiedenen Sleearten ausführlid bejchrieben.
| Seder fann die jeinen Berhaltniffen oder den Boden
jam beiten entiprechenden Sorten darnad) aus-
}iwablen. Ich Habe auch dieje Gras- und Kleearten
| mit Rüdjicht auf das Wadhsthum und die Reifegeit
derjelben jowie auch auf die Bodenarten welche
innen am beiten zujagen, in geeigneten Stleegras-
Imifchungen zujammengeftellt, Aus diefen Klee-
grasmijdungen wird Seder mit Lcichtigfeit die
jeinem Boden oder Zwec am beiten entjprechende
| Mijdhung auszumählen im Stande fein. Die

TO MY FRIENDS AND PATRONS- RSAn

The year 1898 dawns upon us with a more cheering aspect than any within the last five
years. Many of the products of the farm have advanced in price and others are sure to follow. The
laborin g class, who have been so long idle, are being employed at satisfactory wages. This will
put the long hoarded money in circulation, which will all go to raise prices in farm products.
These periods of depression and prosperity have always occured and are about as sure to follow
as the sun is to rise and set. Philosophers and politicians will give their reasons, but neither
have stopped the occurances for any great lergth of time. The last four yearshave been terrib-
ly hard on the farmers, and consequently on the seedsmen as well. As the latter depends on the

tiller of the soil to buy his goods, one cannot prosper without the other. Quite a number of fail- }

ures in the seed trade resulted, none have madeany money and but few Lave kept their own. —
I ask you all who are interested in gardening and farming to give my catalogue a careful
perusal. I have endeavored to describe and illustrate the different varieties as correctly as
‘possible. I have avoided exaggeration in every respect. I do not seek to obtain yonr order by
misrepresentation. I prefer to state the facts just asthey are, eventhough 1 may lose some
business in consequence, realizing that in the end I shall be the gainer by so doing. Iknow
that a customer deceived or treated unjustly can do a great deal of harm by telling his friends
about it. If I cannot get your trade and retain your respect, I prefer to lose the trade. 7

FRESH SEEDS.—I do no Commission Business as many Seed Houses do, taking back at |

the end of the season all unsold seeds, thus having old seeds from year to year. I sell outright
only, in any quantity my customers may wish to buy. ae

Market Gardeners and Truckers should send for my Whoiesale List,
3 lcan save you money, 7

raha’ My trade mark is the ancient coat of arms of the Koss family, adopt- |
WH: at ed in the 12th century, Throughout this catalogue I have affixed this ©
trade mark to all varieties of Seeds, etc., named and introduced by me, you"

can rely upon it being a variety of great worth wherever it is attached. ~
SEEDS BY. MAIL—Allseedsin packets, ounces and quarter pounds
will be sent postpaid by mail at prices quoted, on parcels containing’
more than a quarter pound postage must be added at the rate of 8cts. per
pound, on Beans and Peas 8 cents per pint and 15 cents per quart, and on
corn 6 cents per pint and 10 cents per quart.
SHIPPING DIRECTIONS.—Shipping directions should accompany
TRADE MARK all orders. Where no particular mode of transportation is designated, I
shall exercise my best jndgement, and forward by express, freight or mail, as may seem most

advisable.

master is required to register any letter on payment of eight cents extra postage. ‘The cost of

remitting may in all cases be deducted from the amount sent. ;
PURCHASING BY EXPRESS.—Express companies have now purchasing departments in
all their offices. If you wish to order goods from me to be sent by express, ask for a purchasing
order blank at any express office, and it will be supplied and forwarded without extra charge
other than the usual rates for returning goods. R ?

Name and Post-Office Address is lacking. It is of course impossible fur me to fill these orders

until they are identified. .

Comprising all the’standard varieties as well as all novelties of real merit. Grown
in climates and under {conditions best suitedjto their perfect development.

ASPARAGUS.
‘Columbian Mammoth White. A new and distinct
' variety with pure white shoots, of very
. large and vigorous growth and superior
quality, remaining a long time in edible
condition. It is becoming very popular
‚and much sought after in the markets.
I highly recommend it to my patrons.

BEANS.—Dwarf or Bush.

‘Davis’ Kidney Wax. The best for market
gardeners orcanners. The plant isa vig-
orous grower, carrying the pods well to
the centre and up from the ground. In
productiveness it is astonishing, as it
will produce at least one-third more
| bushels of pods to the acre than any
' „other Wax Bean. The Pods are long,
straight, oval of clear waxy white color
and handsome, often. growing from
seven to eight inches in length, and
when fit for use are quite stringless and
of fine flavor. Oneof its main points of

treme hardiness and good shipping quali-

_ ties. The plant produces a very small

'- portion of waste or second quality poas.

superiority over other sorts is its ex-

Improved Rust Proof Golden Wax. While grown
side by side for several years with other
Wax Beans, all of them more or less af-
fected, many of them completely ruined
by rust, this bean has remained entirely
free from it. Exceedingly crisp and ten-
der, and of a most delicious flavor. Pkt.

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE,

This variety is not produced from seed.
They are sometimes used asa table vege-
table when pickled or asa salad, but their
greatest value is for feeding stock. They
are the best hog food Known and are at-
tracting much attention on account of
their great fattening properties, great
productiveness (over 1000 bushels -having
been grown on one acre), and ease with
which they can be grown. They need not
be dug in the fall: the hogs should be turn-
ed in on them, and will help themselves by
rooting for them. One acre will keep from
twenty to thirty head in fine condition
from October until April, except when the

care should be ta--

‘Bowker’s Plant Food. An ex-

ry "i hy p |

ground is frozen too hard for them to root.
They are also said to be a preventative of
cholera and other hog diseases; and they
are also highly recommended for milch
cows, increasing the yield of milk and at@
the same time improving their condition.

They are well adapted to any soil where @
corn or potatoes can be grown. Three®
bushels will seed an acre, and they should 9)
be cut the same as potatoes, one eye to a
cut being sufficient, planted in April or
May, in rows three feet apart and two feet ®
in the rows, and covered about two inches $
deep. Per lb. 30c. 3 1b. 75c, post paid. By
freight or express, peck 65¢, bushel $2,00, 9

A GREAT

Summer and
Autumn Crop.

DWARF ESSEX RAPE.

There are millions of acres of good land that lie idle
part or all of the year to run to weeds, that can ke
sown to this rape and produce the finest feed imagin-
able and at the same time improve its fertility. It can
be sown from May to September in this latitude. It
can follow any other crop and furnishes most nutrious

asture, when oftentime cattle are roaming the fields
in search of ascanty living. Should be sown at inter-

_ vals of two or three weeks, so as to have fresh crops
constantly coming on. From one-half acre there was
“cut 9% tons of green rape fodder. It is particu.arly valu-

able for sheep and hogs, being twice as nutrious as red
clover. In fact, sheep soon ‘‘weigh like lead” when
pastured on it. It is hardy in winter, resists severe
droughts; in fact, of untold value, and its cultivation
is just beginning. Sow 5 lbs. per acre broadcast; 3 lbs.
per acre if drilled. Price; per lb. 15c, 10 lbs. $1.30, 50 lbs
$4.25.

RED COB ENSILAGE CORN.

This superior ensiJage corn I can recommend as be-
ing the HEAVIEST CROPPING variety in cuitivation,
producing from fifty to seventy-five tons per acre. It
has been thoroughly tested in all dairy sections of the
country with best results. It is a pure white dent
corn of ne size and handsome appearance, growing
on aredcob. The fodder is sweet, tender, juicy and
contains more nourishment than any other variety.
It grows thirteen to fourteen feet in height, taking
strong hold in the ground, standing up well and resist-
ing storms of allkinds to a remarkable degree. Peck

CRIMSON CLOVER.—Also called Scarlet or Italian.
This is an annual variety in common use
in Italy and the south of France, for feed-

mense, and after cutting, it at once com-
mences growing again, and continues until
severe cold freezing weather. Makes good
hay. Sow in April or May, 10 to 15 lbs. of
seed per acre. Where the weather is not
too severe, it will live and continue to
grow all winter, furnishing winter pas-
ture or acrop of hay before corn-planting
time in the spring. It can be turned
under, and willadd greatly to the fertility
of the soil. Thus a hay crop and a corn
crop may be grown on the same ground
in one year, and still the soil will be im-

GRASS MIXTURES: FOR

HAY AND PERMANENT, PASTORES.

All authorities agree that for Pasture or
Hay, best results are obtained from the use
of grass seeds in mixtures. The reasons are
obvious:

First.—A number of varieties will insure a
much denser growth than the same amount

_ of seed of one or two varieties, and prove

less exhausting to the soil, since they live
to a large extent on different constitu-
ents.

SECOND.— Seasons that effect some grosses
.adversely are favorable to other sorts, so

that with mixtures.a failure is practically
impossible, provided of course, the seed is
good. I take great pains in selecting
grass seeds in order to secure the highest
germination, and mixtures are based on a
full appreciation of the requirements of
different soils for which they are intended.

I’ do up mixtures for any kind of soil.
Ask for full particulars, stating what kind
of soil you wish to seed, whether wet or dry
and if for hay or pasture. I have had long
experience in doing up mixtures of grasses
for permanent pastures and hay and will be
certain to satisfy you. Prices range from
10 to 18c per lb. according to the variety of
grasses used,

' and prevents sud-

denchanges in

the egg chamber.
_ The packing also
' extends over and
around the tank, thus utilizing without
' much waste the heat venerated. "The ma-
chines are secured at the corners with

iron, adding much to their strength. The

legs which are just high enough to permit
the lamp to go in its place, at the boiler,
are attached to under side of machine with
screws, being detached in shipping and
packed inside.

The top is fastened on with screws and
can be easily removed, should the tank get

out of order.

The egg-trays are made with wire-cloth
bottoms and hence can be cleansed after

- each hatch, and being all the same dis-
tance from the tank, the eggs are uni-
formly heated.

The eggs are turned by means of an ex-
tra tray, which is placed on the full one,
both firmly grasped and turned over. This
does not shake or crack them and is the
very best method yet devised for the pur-
pose, as every egg, small and large, is com-

h pletely turned.

The lamp is glass and the chimney of

metal, with a small aperture covered with

- mica, "for viewing the flame.

A reliable tested thermometer goes with

each machine.

As in natural incubation, the eggs are
heated from above, so in the Farmer’s
Friend Incubator, the heat is generated
from a tank above the eggs, and ae
down upon the top surface of the egg
where floats the embryo chick.

’

(No. 0—50 Egg Capacity.)

To the tank is attached a boiler, contain -
ing a cup-shaped device, into which the
‘lampchimney extends, and the water flow-
ing over and around this cup, is heated and
forced into the tank by the pressure of the
cold water flowing toward the heated sur-
face, thus keeping up a constant circula-
tion, and imparting a uniform temperature
to the tank surface.

On top of the boiler is a cap for filling
and one on the end for drawing off the
water when machine is not inuse. One fil-
ling of the tank will last a whole season by
the addition of about one pint at the end
of each hatch to supply evaporation.

The machines are properly ventilated
and in such a way as to prevent the exces-
sive evaporation of moisture from the egg-
chamber.

Necessary moisture isimparted by means
of shallow pans containing water, placed
under the egg-trays.

They are so constructed as to prevent
warping, shrinking and cracking.

They are so simple in every part that
they can be thoroughly understood at first
sight, hence avoiding the possibility of the
too numerons and expensive “first mis-
takes.”

All kinds of eggs, such as Chicken, Duck,
Turkey, &e., can be hatched successfully
with these machines.

Although in the Farmer’s Friend Incuba-
tors, the temperature in the egg-chamber
is not automatically controlled by a Ther_

mostat, yet it it so constructed with a deep
tank and thorough packing that the
changes are very gradual, and by looking
after the machine about every twelve
hours, no difficulty is experienced in keep-
ing a uniform temperature.

No day or night watching is necessary,
and the machine may be left, while in oper-
ation, without fear of cooking the eggs.

(Cut of the 100 Chick Capacity.)

THE FARMER’S FRIEND is a hot air brood-
er, with both top and bottom heat, and
makes a first-class foster-mother for the
little orphans placed under its care. The
lamp is placed in lower part of brooder un-
der the heater box, which is made of heayy
sheet iron. As the air becomes heated it
passes up through the heat pipes and strik-
ing the bottom of hoverer placed over
them, is diffused over the backs of the

chicks. Strips of flannel are tacked around —
the sides of hoverer, thus holding the heat. .

The door on which the chicks gather is ar-
ranged above the heater box in such a man-
ner as to become sufficiently warm.

The chicks themselves are the unfailing
regulators in this brooder.

If the heat is not sufficient, they gather
to the center of hoverer near the heat

pipes, and if temperature is too high they
go to the edge of hoverer, hence there is
no danger of being overheated. -
Experience has taught me to shun brood-
ers where the chicks are confined to the
heated portion, as they are almost certain
to become overheated or smothered, and
are nothing less than death traps. Chicks
become overheated at night, take cold
when let out in the morning, and this pro-
duces that most fatal and dreaded disease,
diarrhoea.
As the heat is only under the hoverer
there are no corners into which the chicks
can crowd and smother each other.

THE BALTIMORE MODEL
INCUBATOR.

Alnananan SELF REGULATING.

Complicated and delicate machinery in
the hands of others than experts, is an ex-
pensive and inefficient luxury. The less
complicated an incubator is in construc-
tion, the more efficient it becomes. The
most prominent feature of merit in the
Baltimore Model Incubator is its extreme
simplicity, therefore it can be thoroughly
understood in all its workings, almost at a
glance, even by one unfamiliar with artifle-
ial incubation.

u, $
-

GAL). Sub aR Te aN SCO eC

One of the simplest and best regulators ever
invented, is used on the Baltimore Model to
control the temperature of the egg-chamber.
It is operated by means of a thermostat, con-

nected by a wire and a lever with the valve on
top of the lamp flue. When the temperature
rises above the normal in the egg-chamber, by
the action of the bar, the valve on the lamp
flue is raised, and the heat from the Jamp al-
lowed to escape without passing through the
tank. Where a regulator is used, hot air is far
more efficient for hatching than water, as itis
much more easily and quickly controled. The
thermostat is so protected as to prevent the
chicks from roosting on it and thereby inter-
fering with its action. Its simplicity is a
marvel.

An‘ Honest Self-Regulating Hatcher at an Honest

Price. Everybody delighted with it.

The Baltimore Model Incubator ‚is made
in the *most: substantial and permanent
way and of the very best material. Ithas
double casing, with the space filled in with
non-conducting material; and with anin-
ner door of glass and an outside door of
wood, the temperature of the egg-chamber
is not in the least affected {by surrounding
atmospheric changes. The legs are carved
and very neat and pretty. #The lamp rests
on a swing at the rear end of machine, ina
convenient position for filling, &c. The
tank, which is galvanized iron, will lasta
life-time. The egg-chamber is heated by
meaus of hot currents of air which con-
stantly pass through the tank from the
Jamp-flue. A radiator beneath the tank
produces an even temperature in all parts
of the egg-chamber, Shallow pans be-
neath the egg-trays, filled with water,
cause an even distribution of moisture.
The very best method for turning the eggs
has been adopted. Neat and substantial
fastenings are used on the doors.

ground beef scraps are spec-
ially prepared. Feed three
times a week at the rate of
about a handful to every

stant use of Royal Egg *ood will certainly restore
them to health. It is the best egg: producer that has
ever been known. Hens fed on it are a gold mine |
to their owners, and pay a larger profit than any-
thing onthe farm. It is put up in 25¢ packages; a
small price to pay for the health, strength and lay-
ing qualities of your fowls. Try it.

Lambert’s “Death to Lice.” You may think your
hens are not lousy in coid weather unless you take pains
to examine them closely, when, if nothing is done to
prevent, you will find them swarming with vermin, es-
pecially among the fluffy feathers beneath the vent. A
sure remedy is Lambert’s *‘ Death to Lice.” This pow-
der is unrivalled as an insecticide ; handy to use, cheap
to buy, and works like chain lightning. 15-0z. Box 25e.

CRUSHED OYSTER SHELLS Will make your
hens lay. A hen has more difficulty in getting
the needed ‘‘ Carbonate of Lime” to form the
egg shell than any other part of the egg, and
frequently does not lay for this reason. In
dressing ‘‘non-laying hens” you constantly
find large numbers of embryo eggs for which
no egg shell material, viz: carbonate of Lime,
has been furnished—therefore no eggs,
Crushei oyster shells contain 96 par cent carbon-
ate of lime, and are the best source of supply
in the world. All fowls must have grits upon
which to grind their food, and crushed oyster
shells act in a double capacity, as while grind-
ing the food, the hen is making the egg shell,
hence a much larger pruduction ot eggs where
these sheilsare used. Price: 10 lbs. 20e., 25
lbs. 45c.; 50 lbs. 80c.; 100 lbs. $1.50.

CAPONIZING TOOLS.

Poultry Supplies,

ve
\

Poultrymen can double their pro-
fits by caponizing their chicks. The

il Operation is very simple—the in-
ii structions so full and explicit that
i any man, after a careful reading,
} will be able to perform the opera-
ga) tion. The demand for capons far ex-
mi ceeds the supply, the price per
=) pound being twice as much as for or-

NM dinary chicks. The object of capon-

| izing is to largely increase the

1 weight of fowl, causing them, in

i many cases, to grow as large as tur-
ij keys and weighing from 10 to 15
= pounds, to make the meat a finer and
Meisweeter flavor and very juicy and

Sam) tender. Again Capons are worth $1.00 to

$1.50 more than cocks not caponized.
They are much quieter in disposi-
tion. A flock in chasing around the

Philadelphia Gape Worm Extractor. Post paid 25c each. yard will run off flesh as fast as put
on. Inthe more quiet Capon the same amount of food goes to make flesh, bone and pro-

fit. Complete with instructions, $2.50.

The New Washington Oats.
. THE “NEWEST! THE GREATEST! THE BEST! |

.. zg The oats farmers should grow for seed, for market, for feed, North, South, East and West.
They will bring a good price for several years to come. —

The original stock of this splendid new oat came direct from Russia, and has been carefully
grown here. It has done wonderfully well here, in fact better than any oat that was ever grown
here. Although the original stock came trom Russia, I have never-the-less decided to introduce
it under the name of Washington Oats, because this new oat and the Lincoln Oats (which is de-
scribed in another part of this catalogue) are the two best oats in America and they certainly are
appropriate to be named after the two greatest men in the history of our country. 2
‘7 The Washington Oat is very early, its straw large, strong and stiff, rust-proof and of a beau-
tiful light yellow color. A wonderful stooler, stronger than any other variety, always stands
upright, even on very rich soil and above all it is immensely productive. The grain is light
yellow in color and has a thin hull. The price [have decided to make as low as possible so as
to give every one an opportunity to procure some. Others would ask two and three times a8 —
much for such.a splendid variety. You will want it at these prices; peck 40c, bushel $1.25, per ~—
bag of three bushels (enough for 2 aeres,) $3.00. By mail per pound 25e, postpaid, 3 pounds 60e. —

No difference what the price is, after you raise a certain number of bushels to pay cost. of 4
production, then you get your profit. Strive for the top bushel. Each one added is clear gaia. ©
Each one you fall below cost of production, is clear loss, This refers to all crops. , -

There are many instances where 75 to 100 bushels of oats can be grown per acre as well as ~
25 to 40 bushels, if only the proper variety had been used for seed. . 2s
