GENUINE AUGUSTA RATTLE-
SNAKE— This melon seems to deterio-
rate the second year when grown else-
where than in this county, where it
originated. The genuine seed should
be had each year from this county. This
was the original melon shipped North
In '67, which so whetted the Northern
appetite for watermelon. An elongated
green striped melon — good size. Seed
white with black ears. Flesh crisp and
excellent. A choice home melon. Ship*
•with careful packing. 1 ounce, 10 cents;
4 ounces, 35 cents; 1 pound, $1. Ours
are highest type of seed.
BRANCH'S RATTLESNAKE^Mr. B's.
home near Augusta, is the birth place of
the Rattlesnake. He selects his seed
from only the largest of his melons, and
advertises his stock as fancy seed, and
gets a higher price. His seed have been
kept pure 30 years. His melons were
pronounced the finest at the Tennessee
Centennial. 1 ounce, 10 cents; 4 ounces,
35 cents; 1-2 pound, 65 cents; 1 pound,
$1.25. All postpaid to any office in the
United States.
AUGUSTA ROUND WHITE— New.
Earliest melon in U. S. Matures here
June 12th to 15th. All others mature
about July 4th. Best and earliest home
market melon known. Not a good
shipper. Short vines, but heavy bear-
ers. Plant thick. Tender rind. Flesh
light red. Sweet, brittle, good flavor.
Shape round. Color whitish. Melons 20
to 50 pounds. A great acquisition
among melons. Bears on vines contin-
uously during season. This melon is
grown here exclusively by all our mar-
ket men for the early market. Only
listed by us. 1 ounce, 10 cents; 4
ounces, 35 cents; 1 pound, $1.
THE JONES MELON— Rind dark;
flesh bright red. Almost round in
shape. Rind trifle thicker than two
above melons. Sixty-five to seventy
pounds frequent size for this melon.
Originated near us only a few years
ago, yet it has sprung into the widest
popularity, and is listed in all the
United States seed catalogues as one
of the very best. 1 ounce, 10 cents; 1-4
pound, 35 cents; 1 pound, $1.
AUGUSTA SUGAR LOAF— A green-
ish white, elongated melon with crisp
red flesh, with as thin a rind as Rattle-
snake. Grows to an immense size — a
whole market wagon load running"
often to sixty pounds each. Originated
around Augusta. It's a beauty to look
at and a delight to eat. 1 ounce; 10
cents; 1-4 pound, 35 cents; 1 pound, $1.
PRIDE OF GEORGIA— An exceed-
ingly large, round, green melon; flesh
crisp and red. You will find occasion-
ally on it small rough, slightly scaly
spots. This melon is close kin to the
Jones melon, and is a handsome melon
inside and outside. 1 ounce. 10 cents;
1-4 pound, 35 cents; 1 pound, $1.
KOLB GEM— Color dark green.
Bright stripe. Very nearly round. Rind
thick, ensuring perfect shipping quali-
ties. Flesh medium red and firm. 30

'SOUTH CAROLINA BRADFORD —
We have some calls for this old time
melon lately revived. Price same as

NOTE ON MELON SEED.
Being in communication with all re-
liable melon seed growers in the state,
we will quote prices on melons not in
catalogue on request.
WARNING TO SEEDMEN— We warn
Northern and Western Seedmen from
selling to their Southern trade water-
melon seed grown in the States of
Oklahoma and Kansas, and other
Western States. Such seeds produce
melons in the South with hard, white
spots in the hearts. The melons do not
mature. Thousands of dollars were
lost by Southern growers last year from
these seed.

«I^ORAOE: CROPS;
• The South has a world of wealth in
her varied Forage Crops. Their usual
culture is simply to sow in April thinly
in drills — rows three feet apart — cutting
the plants and feeding it when 2 or 2 1-2
feet high, and recutting it as it grows
out; 3 or 4 cuttings a season. Write for
bushel prices — 50 pounds.
PEARL OR CAT TAIL MILLET—
(Penicillaria Splcata.) These seed
grown in Georgia. The U. S. seedmen
supplied in largest amounts.) We are
largest dealers. No other plant makes
so much forage as this. Seven cuttings
can be had from one planting about
Augusta in one season. Total of three
cuttings green forage per acre at Geor-
gia Experiment Station, 52,416 pounds.
The U. S. Agricultural Bureau has in-
creased its sale largely. Demand could
not be supplied in 1897. Stools at ground.
Thick foliage. Heads not eaten. This
is "by far the most popular of ali the
green eaten millet. 1 pound, 20 cents;
5 pounds, 1-4 acre, 75 cents.
'EARLY AMBER SORGHUM — We
wholesale this in large amounts in Au-
gusta territory. Almost a Trinity plant;
three most distinct cultures: 1st.
Green forage. 2d. Cutting it when ripe
and saccharine and feeding it to stock,
or storing it for them. 3d. Grinding It
for syrup. This is the earliest sorghum.
50 pounds to bushel. Sorghum is not
appreciated in Georgia as it is in the
West, and in Texas and in Tennessee.
We have had trouble in getting pure
amber seed. This year we have a
splendid reliable Georgia grower. Do
well sown with cow peas broadcast,
or can be broadcast alone. Sow 29
pounds to 1 acre. 1 pound, 10 cents; 10
pounds, 1-2 acre, 75 cents.
EARLY ORANGE SORGHUM —
Yields hearier than Amber. Syrup, toe,
is finer flavor. Georgia Experiment

THE HOWARD & WILLET DRUG CO.
Station makes total three cuttings
green forage per acre 42,018 pounds.
Weight and price same as Amber.
We wholesale large amounts to Au-
gusta territory merchants of sorghums.
WHITE KAFFIR CORN— Georgia
Experiment Station, 3 cuttings, total
32,034 lbs. acre. It grows from four to
five feet high, making a straight up-
right growth. It has a stalky stem,
with numerous wide leaves. The stalks
are green till frost, and are brittle and
juicy, not hardening like other varieties
of sorghum, making excellent fodder,
either green or dried, which is highly
relished by cattle, horses and mules.
The seed heads form at top of each
stalk, and as soon as these show the
grain well, the joints next below the
top send up shoots which yield the sec-
ond seed heads. For the grain sow in
rows three feet apart, three to five
pounds of seed to the acre. For fodder,
sow 1-2 bushel to 1 bushel, either broad-
cast or in drills. Invaluable for sowing
along with cow peas, as they hold
vines up. All can be cut at same time.
1 pound, 15 cents; 5 pounds, 65 cents.
•Makes a good combination sown with
cow peas.
WHITE MIL L O MAIZE, or
BRANCHING DHOURA— Total 3 cut-
tings green forage at Georgia Experi-
ment Station 51,792 pounds per acre. An
immense producer of fodder. Stools
largely, sometimes as many as ten to
fifteen snoots from one seed; can be
cut for green feed several times a sea-
eon, yield of grain thirty bushels to the
acre on land that will make fifteen of
corn. Plant in rows four to five feet
apart, dropping three to five seed 13
inches apart in rows; plant 8 to 10
pounds seed to acre. Cultivate as corn.
Price, pound, 15 cents; 5 pounds for 65
cents. Makes good combination sown
■with cow peas.
TEOSINTE— (Euchlaena Luxurians)
— (U. S. Wholesale seed trade supplied.)
Many growths per season. Mississippi
Experiment Station reports 22 tons pet*
acre green forage product. One seed
makes 30 to 50 stalks. On rich land
grows 15 feet high, and produces a
larger amount forage than any known
plant; 10 per cent, saccharine. x Seeds in
Florida but not in Georgia. Plant in
April, 5x6 feet; cultivate as corn. 1
ounce, 15 cents; 1-4 pound, 50 cents; 1
pound, $1.50. 3 pounds 1 acre.
DWARF ESSEX RAPE — In England
and Germany this is the universally
grown forage crop. Sown for pasturing
lambs and sheep, and also for cows. —
no crop there equals it. No crop is so
fattening — a lamb growing 7 or 8 pounds
a month. Sow 5 pounds to 10 pounds
per acre in spring or fall — broadcast or
drill in damp lands — or drill in rich up-
lands. Sown in August it makes by
January and February an enormous
amount green food 2 or 3 feet high and
branching. -Thin it out in fall When
small and eat as spinach. This is also
called Georgia Rape. 1 pound, 20 cents;
5 pounds, 75 cents.
GERMAN MILLET OR GOL/DEN
MILLET — (Setaria Italica) — 50 pounds-
to bushel. Sow 50 pounds to acre. Savr
broadcast after oats in spring on rich-
ground. Cut before seed harden. Grows
3 to 5 feet high. It is widely sown; for
no other forage or hay can be produced
so heavly or quickly as this — 4 to 6 tons
per acre in rich ground. 25 pounds for
1-2 to 1 acre, $1. (Price for large
amounts vary largely each year.) Ger-
man Millet only makes one cutting or
crop. We wholesale it largely to Au-
gusta territory merchants. Can be
sown with cow peas.
HAY FORAGE COMBINATION—
Any kind of stock are fond of this. A
few acres of it will make a world of
stuff. Broadcast put in 1-2 bushel cow
peas, disc or plow in. Then cross with
3 pecks of German Millet and 1-2 peck
Sorghum, and brush or roll in. Cut and
cure when millet is in dough.
VELVET BEAN— (Canavallia family
— ). (Seeds only in extreme South. U.
S. seed trade supplied.) The great
Florida acquisition in forage line Is
sown universally in orange groves. A
powerful soil enricher on poor soil.
Grows luxuriantly on poor soil. Green
vines or dry hay relished by all cat-
tle. For replenishing worn out land
large growers say it excels cow peas.
Vines form a mass 3 to 4 feet high, and
run 20 feet or more; large nodules on
the roots; 3 to 5 beans in each pod; over
1000 beans often on a vine. The Florida
Experimental Station reports 16,680 lb3.
of green forage per acre. Will eradi-
cate other grasses; keeps down weeds.
Plant spring or summer; 3 feet by 5
feet, several beans to hill; 1 peck to
acre; cultivate like cow peas in every
way.

bushel to acre, or in drills, 3 beans to
(hill, 18 inches in row, 3 1-2 feet rows.
The beans are much eaten in Japan.
Our Georgia Experiment Station places
a high forage plant value upon tkem,
high as cow peas. Stalk is 2 1-2 to 3
feet high. Can be cut entire or stock
turned into feed. Nutritious. 1 pound,
15 cents; peck, 90 cents; bushel (60
pounds), $3.
J. F. Guilmartin, of Screven county,
Ga., says; "Have grown 63 bushels per
acre. Large yield -of forage as well as
beans. Cure without trouble, 5 feet
(high, and beans from first branch to
top. More stuff on them 'than anything

FIELD CORNS — We make a specialty
of Field corns — wholesaling them in
large quantities to merchants in Au-
gusta territory at lowest prices. 6
quarts to'acre; 1 bushel, 56 pounds; un-
shelied, 70 pounds. Write for wholesale

PENNSYLVANIA YELLOW DENT
CORN — We do an immense business in
Dent corns with Augusta territory mer-
chants. Well known. Our earliest field
corn. Meal can be had from it latter
part July, being thus valuable to farm-
ers. Has reputation of not being so
prolific as ether corn, but we never
saw finer fields than about Augusta in
1S93. 2 quarts, 25 cents; peck, 60 cents;
bushel, $1.75.
PENNSYLVANIA WHITE DENT
CORN — Same as above, only grain is
white — which some prefer. Same price
as Yellow Dent. Many plant this for
early garden use.
COCKE'S PROLIFIC CORN — Origi-
nated by late General Cocke. The best
corn known in Virginia. Flinty, white,
heavy. Large, tall stalks. Much fod-
der. Two ears. In swamps it has
grown 140 bushels shelled corn per
acre. We get our seed from North Vir-
ginia. This corn stood highest test at
Georgia Experiment Station for several
years, and also other Southern State
Experiment Stations.. This corn -has
given great satisfaction here for sev-
eral years. Medium early. 2 quarts, 25
centsj peck, 60 cents; bushel, $1.75.
COTTON SEEDS.
All of our cotton seed are grown in
Georgia. We are in position to stock
up U. S. seedmen with almost any va-
riety and in any quantity. Highest
grade. Augusta is the second largest
inland cotton market in the world, and
the largest cotton manufacturing city
in the South. Cotton 30 pounds to
bushel. All cottons below except
Doughty's and Sea Island are short
staple cotton. We have supplied the U.
S. Agricultural Department for three
seasons wTith the larger portion of their
free cotton seed distribution. We will
do so this year also. Their contract
calls for Peterkin, Hawkins, Jones' Im-
proved, Drakes' Cluster, Texas Storm
Proof.
KING'S IMPROVED COTTON— Has
stood highest test at Georgia Experi-
ment Station. Only been on the mar-
ket 3 or 4 years, but no other kind sold
so largely in 1S97. The earliest of all
cotton. Few limbs and short. Plant
on heavy, good land, thicker than any-
other cotton. Bolls literally cover the
rather small plant. First crop comes
on all at once — pretty well out by . Sep-
tember 15th. Makes second crop — plant
then growing straight up and tall.
Plant erect, never falling to ground
With good early season we've never
seen a first crop so heavily fruited a-9
some King cotton fields. In 1890 the
originator made in North Carolina 3
bales to the acre— heaviest yield ever
made in that State. Lint 36 to 40 per
cent. 1 bushel, $1; 5 bushels, $4.
PETERKIN IMPROVED COTTON—
This cotton is grown about Augusta
more, perhaps, by advanced farmers,
•than any other kind. Excellent staple.
Large bolls. Small seeds. Branching,
open growing and prolific. 20 per cent,
of the seed slip their lint— that is, are
free wholly of lint, and are smooth ani
bare. To unitiated the seed look mixed.
Yield of lint is about 40 per cent. This
cotton fruits through the whole sea-
eon. A partial dry season does not

largely affect crop. This is the most
largely sold of all cotton. We know no
better stand by in the list, and recom-
mend it highly. 1 bushel, $1; 5 bushels,
$4.00
TRUITT'S BIG BOLD COTTON—
Forty bolls to pound. Mr. Truitt is the
only man in Georgia who ever made
100 bales of cotton with two mules. Mr.
Truitt received first premium at Pied-
mont Exposition, 1890; Chattahoochee
Valley Exposition, 1890; Augusta Expo-
sition, 1893, 1894. South Carolina Ex-
periment Station tests make Truitt's
the best yield. Mr. Truitt lays claim
to having the most prolific cotton in
the world. This is a distinctive cotton
with its big seed, and its big bolls,
making gathering easy. Some of the
most scientific and best posted farmers
in Georgia grow nothing else. 1 bushel,
$1; 5 bushels, $4.
HAWKINS' COTTON Distributed
this year by U. S. government in free
seeds. Has the distinction of being
possibly the tallest of all cotton; three
large limbs at bottom. Being
a tall grower it has a long tap root,
which resists drouth well. Small seed
— some light gray, some green. Yields
33 to 40 per cent. An early cotton with
superior lint. Big bolls, gathered easily.
Prolific. A cut before us of Hawkins'
Cotton from life shows over 400 bolls
well developed on one stalk. Mr. Haw-
kins has been steadily improving year
by year this cotton to the present —
carefully selecting it each year. Our
seed are direct from him, and abso-
lutely pure. 1 bushel, $1; 5 bushels, $4.
JONES IMPROVED COTTON— In
1870 Mr. J. F. Jones, from North
Georgia, imported some seeds from
Algiers, on the Mediterranean Sea.
Plant had no limbs, but immense bolls
were attached all over stalk. This, was
hybridized many years by Mr. J. with
our finest Cluster cottons. For 6 years
the United States Agricultural Depart-
ment distributed this seed, ex-Commis-
sioner Loring going to Jones Farm to
look at it. It is being distributed by
U. S. Government this year. The
Georgia Experiment Station Bulletin
27, 1898, gives it the highest record for
yield, receiving the Station's highest
endorsement. Branches widely. Often-
times 5 locks to boll; 1,250 pounds seed
cotton to 500-pound bale. Fruits on
limb and stalk. Large seed; strong
staple; exceedingly large bolls. We are
Mr. J.'s selling agents. 1 bushel, $1,255
a bushel, $5— f. o. b. Augusta, or $2 for
a 2-bushel sack f. o. b. Hogansville, Ga.
DRAKE'S CLUSTER— Distributed by
U. S. in "free seeds" in 1S97 and 1893
and 1899. Gives the farmer early en-
couragement. Knuckles down to its
.work at once. Bushy in growth. Char-
acterized as the Eureka Cotton for
prolific bearing. Develops rapidly, and
therefore invariably with favorable sea-
son makes the second or top crop. Seed
only in 2 bushel sacks, $2 a sack, f. o. b.
Hogansville, Ga.
TEXAS STORM PROOF— Name
shows character. Does not blow out.
Hardiest and best poor land variety
known. Distributed by U. S. Govern-
ment in '97 and '98 and 1899 in "free
seeds." Good crops with less work
than any variety known. Fruits from
the ground. Stands wet or dry seasons.
Sold only in 2 bushel sacks, $2 per sack
f. o. b. Hogansville, Ga.
JACKSON LIMBLESS COTTON—
Very few farmers in the Southern coun-
try but know of this muchly exploited
and advertised cotton. We have had a
a demand for it. Have not been able to
supply it up to this season. The seed we
offer this year came a year ago directly
from Mr. Jackson. They have been
carefully grown, and are absolutely
genuine and true. 1 bushel, $3; 1-4
bushel (we sell nothing less), $1.
DOUGHTY'S EXTRA LONG STA-
PLE—We list no other long staple but
this. Mr. D. is an intensive fancy
farmer near this city, and at the same
time has been for twenty-five years one
of Augusta's most experienced Cotton
Buyers for export. He has been im-
proving this seed (originally from a
Southern Experiment Station) for many
years. The stalk is long limbed and
branching. Yields 400 lbs. lint per acre.
The staple is 1 5-8 inches long. 3 1-2
cents per pound more than middling is
now being asked in this market for it.
Mr. D. has bought as much Long Staple
Cotton as any buyer perhaps in the
South. He says it is the best staple he
has ever seen — certainly the best that
has ever come to Augusta market. Our
leading cotton factors agree with Mr.
D. 11 bales cotton were made this year
on 12 acres, and when middling was
selling here at 6 Mr. D. refused 9 1-2
for his crop. Price, 1 bushel, $1.25; 4
bushels, $5.50; 10 bushels, $10.00.

SEA ISLAND COTTON— (Lawton) 42
pounds bushel. The famous iSea Island
Cottons off the South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida coasts are known all over
the world. While rented 75 miles in-
terior, yet seed must ~ome annually
from coast or lint is not so long. Roller
gin is used, lint slipping the seed. Our
seed are from large growers off Charles-
ton, S. C. We ship from Charleston,
not Augusta. Product of this cotton in
1895 was 400 pounds of lint to acre. Our
grower received 35 cents pound for his
1894 crop. Asked 36 cents pound for 1895
crop. 1 bushel (42) pounds, $1.50; 5
bushels, $1.25.
OATS.
IMPROVED RUST PROOF OATS—
These are Augusta's best Native Rust
Proof. No other crop about here is so
heavy an oat as this of ours. These oats
have been selected and improved three
or four years. They stand far more
cold than the imported Texas oats, an I
are far heavier. These oats weigh 30
per cent, moi^ than Texas Rust Proof.
Our friends must remember that it
takes as much chaff for a little as a
big grain, and in Texas oats they are
buying mostly chaff and beard. We
are heavy wholesale dealers in these
oats. Get price. State quantity.
TURF OR GRAZING OATS—
(32 pounds) — Do not resemble oats
till they head. Look more like
rye, and look, too, like Orch-
ard grass. No cold whatever seems to
kill them. They can be grazed, and
afterward will grow off and head out
like rye. These oats are popular, and
widely used further North. We've soli
them for 3 or 4 years, and our growers
have been greatly pleased with them.
Get prices.
BURT OATS— These are practically
the only spring oats — far safer and bet-
ter than other oats sown in spring.
And when oats are winter killed these
oats are invaluable. The Burt oat is
also a good oat sown in fall. Our seed
grown here for us from Georgia Ex-
periment Slation seed stock. We are
large dealers in these oats.
POTATOES.
IRISH POTATOES— 10 bushels per
acre. Early Rose, Goodrich, Crown
Jewel, Beauty of Hebron, Triumph. We
do not sell less than 1 barrel. Our trade
is only wholesale, and to the merchants
of our territory we offer only the
choicest Seed Potatoes.
We do an immense business to the
merchant trade in this territory.
We sell choicest Maine Potatoes, and
also second crop Southern grown. Our
Exper. Sta.'s rather prefer the
second crop Southern grown to Maine
potatoes. A good paying crop of pota-
toes can be made here — sown August 1.
Be sure that the eyes are well sprouted
when you plant. If they are not the
seed sometimes rot before sprouting.
To know this universally would be
worth $100,000 in Georgia.
SWEET POTATOES— Georgia grown,
Seed trade supplied. No part of Amer-
ica, we believe, grows the sweet potato
t the same perfection that county
'Of Richmond does.
GEORGIA OR SUGAR YAM— Georgia

so good — delicate, sweet delicious, but
lightest bearer of all. Slip Jacket.
Bushel $1.50.
VINELESS BUNCH YAMS — Vines do
not run. Grow erect. Can be plowed
and cultivated like corn. Grows well
between corn hills. Potatoes easily
gathered, bunching like Irish potatoes.
Sweet; taste like old time Spanish po-
tatoes. Bushel, $1.50.
PUMPKIN YAM— Rather late. Uni-
versally grown about here. Georgia Ex.

(MIXED COW PEAo— Not one Geor-
gia farmer in one hundred grows
straigt unmixed peas of one type. He
grows mixed peas because it is better,
and for this reason — if the soil or season
is not favorable to one type, then it will
be fa orable to some of the other types.
'Tis almost impossible for this reason
to buy straight unmixed peas. We say
this to United States seedmen, viz: If
you want the best out turn in peas (hay
and peas) then order high grade mixed-
peas. They are cheaper, too.

itable crop; largely grown around Au-
gusta; best prices from us in large
amounts; yield 20 to 30 bushels in up-
land, and 30 to 60 bushels in lowland. 1

NATIVE (AUGUSTA, GA.) RYE.
(fcseed Trade supplied.)
We have had for years a heavy mer-
chant trade, even into other states, for
this rye. We shall grow this year a
very large crop of the highest type.
This rye stools heavily. Can be
grazed several times, and then allowed
to go to seed. If cut and fed green, it
has made 10 tons green food in five
months p-. acre. Rye growin in Ten-
nessee, Virginia, Middle or. Western
'States is che-per. But it runs on the
ground, and is slow growing, and is no
good here. It is a different type of rye.
Plant in September or October 3-4 bush-
el to 1 bushel per acre. Bushel, $1.50.
PURPLE STRAW AMBER WHEAT
— (60 lbs.) — After experimenting with 20
varieties of wheats, we find for Georgia
this is the best. This wheat is free from
cockle and cheat. This wheat by ex-
pensive machinery is smutted. Blue-
stone is not necessary; and by no
means must this wheat be soaked In
bluestone.
We sell tremendous amounts of
wheat, and our' stock can be relied on
for this section. Get prices.
HOG* CROPS.
Hog growing is an absolute necessity
to Southern farmers. They can com-
pete with other portions of our country
by growing the following. Just about
us these crops attain their highest de-
velopment. Cam supply largest quan-
tity.
JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE — Geor-
gia grown. Widely advertised as a hog
crop. Even in 5 feet rows, roots run
from row to row and make tubers — the
underground being a network of arti-
chokes. Tubers will stay in ground all
winter and not freeze. Turn in hogs at
any time. If not eaten too close crop
will come up in spring without second
planting. Used also for pickles. Cut
tubers like Irish potatoes, and plant af-
ter frost — 1 piece every three feet, in 4
or 5 feet rows. 3 bushels, 1 acre. 1
bushel, $l.ov.
CHUFAS — Georgia grown seed. U. S.
seed trade supplied. 44 pounds 1 bushel.
Soak seeds 1 week. Plant 1 peck t©
acre. Plant 12 inches .apart in rows
2 1-2 feet apart. Give two plowings and
hoeings. If you get a bad stand pull
out shoots from growing plants and
plant and use these. Indeed, many
growers bed like sweet potatoes and
transplant the slips. Chufas grow just
under the surface, like all grass nuts.
Invaluable for fattening hogs. Turn
hogs in patch. Mature in September
and lie in ground till eaten. It is the
easiest thing to grow, and makes more
hog food to the acre, even on poor
sa.ndy soil, than anything we know.
Easily grows over 100 bushels to acre —
which does not even have to be gath-

ered. Very prolific, sweet and nutri-
tious. We have tested their growth
about Chicago. It thrives and matures
well. 1 peck, $1.00; 1 bushel, $3.50.
SPANISH PEANUTS— Georgia grown
seed. U. S. seed trade supplied. Grows
to perfection about us. A great ad-
vance in peanuts, and much written
about as a hog crop. 200 bushels per
acre. Plant about 1 bushel to acre,
March to July. Follow after oats, or
plant two crops, March and July, on
same g-rouind; no pops. Plant close in
sandy lime lands. The tops are good
forage. Peas easily harvested, as all
peas hang to roots as plant is pulled
up. Hogs can be turned in, or the
whole vine can be fed from the storage
barn. A high Georgia farming author-
ity says that we could revolutionize
our agTiculture if in the corn row be-
tween the stalks we would plant a hill
of cow peas, and in the middle furrow
a row of Spanish peanuts.

never requires reseeding, and certainly
is more fattening to stock of all sorts

It is unfortunate for mankind that those things upon which he
most depends are often hard to procure, simply on account of
the avarice and deception of those he trusts. The false im-
pression has been created in the minds of some that Simmons

is absolutely untrue. No one makes or can claim to make
Simmons Liver Regulator but J. H. Zeilin & Co. Beware of imita-
tions bearing part of the name of Simmons Liver Regulator or resem-
bling it in general appearance, as some parties use these deceptive means
to try to associate themselves with this popular remedy, even going so
far as to mention the name of J. H. Zeilin & Co. in advertisements, thus
attempting to deceive the public by classing their imitations with Sim-
mons Liver Regulator. We therefore warn you to always ask your

A Dead Loss
That's a Horse or Mule who
dies of Colic* Dead loss, $125.
Can you afford it ? If not, we
say honestly you will never
lose an animal in your life by
Horse Colic if you but use &
Holleymans
Compound Elixir
CENTS lie re laid down at your
nearest Southern Express Comp-
any's Office, free of express to you.
j* ^ FOR HORSE COLIC
It will Cure any Case of Horse Colic under the Sun*
Don't wait until Your Horse Dies before you buy a bottle.
Capt. Tas. M. Smith, of Smitlisonia, the
largest farmer in Georgia, writes us: "I
consider Holleyman's Elixir a splendid
medicine for Horses and Mules — the best
I have ever tried. Every owner of a horse
or mule might save money by constantly
keeping on hand this Elixir."
Dr. B. B. Kitchen, Mitchell, Ga., says:
"I have used Holleyman's Elixir in Horse
Colic. I recommend it as a Specific."
S. S. Sanders & Co., Egypt, Ga., says:
"Have sold it and used it, it is all it 's
claimed to be. Its effect is magical."
W. H. Jones, Stellaville, Ga., says: "I
have been using Holleyman's Elixir one
year, and saved several horses' lives. It
never fails in Horse Colic. ' '
Capt. R. H. Walker, Appleton, S. C,
says: " Worth Its Weight in Gold to every
farmer. I saved thee horses' lives on my
plantation in sixty days."
O. B. Brown, Stellaville, Ga., says:
"Cured a nice mare that was dying with
Colic. The best thing of the kind I ever
saw."
S. A. Gray & Co., Waynesboro, Ga.,
says: "Have used Holleyman's Elixir for
eight or nine years. As a preparation for
Colic in Horses and Mules we believe it
to be unequalled. ' '
R. H. Wood, Veterinary Surgeon, John-
ston, S. C, says: "I used it in several
severe cases. One animal bad been given
up to die; a part of a bottle saved the
animal's life. No horse owner should be-
without it. '
J. F. A. Tufts, Drummer, says: "In
one of my drumming trips of thirty days,
I cured three dangerous cases of Colic in
horses from my small sample vial holding
only one ounce."
W. H. McNorrie, M. D., Waynesboro,
Ga., says: "Holleyman's Elixir is ex-
tensively used in this county for many
years. I have found it to be an infallible
remedy."
W. H. E. Rast & Bro., Swansea, S. C,
says: "Holle3onan's Compound Elixir is
the best medicine of its kind and has gives
better satisfaction than anything we have
ever sold."
We have crowds of testimony from
Doctors, Veterinary Surgeons,
Merchants and Farmers.

A FLOATING SAW MILL
ON THE SAVANNAH RIVER.
Haedeeville. S. C , 8 ptember 2, 1896.
Mil. A. B. Gibardeau. Savannah. Ga.
Dear Sir— Some years go I operated a floating
saw mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constant y changed and
my hands were always exposed to the worst
Malarial influences. I employed over 100 hands
and the work was conducted as much in water
as out, of it. For this reason in August and
September there was great loss oi time and
business on account of sickness among the
workers. My attention was then called to John-
son's Chill and Fever Tonic and I determined
to give the medicine a trial. I procured it and
those who were sic£wer-> put on this treatment
and those who were feeling badly were at once
given the Tonic. In a short time ev^ry one of
the 100 hands were well and reported for dury
and from that time on I used nothing else but
Johnson's Tonic and nev r had another case of
fever. Yours very truly, J. R. LAS8ITER.
