We Use Every Effort Possible in the selection of our seeds, and feel justified in saying that all our SEEDS are the PUREST
and BEST to be found, but at same time, there being so many things beyond the control of man that spoil the best seeds and cause
poor crops, that it is impossible to guarantee seeds. Therefore, while we exercise great care to have all seeds pure and reliable
we sell no seeds with warranty expressed or implied in any respect, and we are not in any way responsible for the crop. If the
purchaser does not accept the seeds on these terms, they must be returned at once, and any money that has been paid for same
will be refunded.

best when planted 4 to 6 inches apart in two and one-half to three foot rows. Keep the ground moist, and cultivate thoroughly,
being careful not to work among nor handle plants when wet or damp with rain ur dew. The pole varieties should be planted
in hills about four feet apart, dropping 5 or 6 seeds in each hill, to the depth of about 2 inches.

One of the most delicious of vegetables. Any soil that will grow cabbage will grow cauliflower, as their requirements are quite

2,000 plants. :

Caulifiower seed is probably the most important and exacting of the entire vegetable family. No gardener can
atord to plant doubtful stock at any price.

Quality is the first point we consider in HUNKEW’S Seeds. Our constant endeavor
is’ to furnish the best and the best only. It costs more to raise good seeds than poor
ones. Care and selection cannot be practiced without cost. Our seeds may cost more
money than some others—however, good seeds cannot be bought for less than we sell
them. People who try, find out the truth of this statement by bitter experience.

CABBAGE.

| K All of our Cabbage Seed is grown from selected stocks and

all is of the grade that the critical market gardener trade requires,
It is impossible to buy better seed at any price.

Early Cabbage Seed should be sown in hot-beds during February or
March. When large enough the plants should be transplanted tc cold
frames and as soon as ground is in fit condition they should be planted in
the garden, in rows about 2 feet apart and 18 inches in the row. The
late varieties should be sown about the first of May and set out in June
-or July in rows about 3 feet apart and 2 feet in the row. 1 oz. to 1500

‘plants; + lb. to transplant to the acre.

Early Spring—tThe earliest flat-headed variety. It grows into very

PEAS.

One Qt. to 100 Feet of Drill; Two Bushels to Acre in Drills—While almost any soil will produce good peas, yet
like most other yegetables, they respond to liberal treatment and careful cultivation. Well-rotted stable manure and See ae
make excellent fertilizers for this crop. Deep plowing is of greatest importance. For'early peas plant as soon as ground can be
worked, in light, well-drained soil and a sunny exposure. For main crop a heavier soil may be selected, They are usually planted
in double rows, about 4 feet apart, and 3 inches deep. Bush those that require it, when 6 inches high. The wrinkled varieties are
not as hardy as the smooth sorts, and should be sown later.

Our seed peas are all grown far north, thoroughly roqued, and carefully handpicked; they are raised only from
the finest strains.

THOMAS LAXTON.—The New First Early Large—podded Pea.

This fine new early pea was raised by crossing “‘Gradus” with a very eariy seedling of the ‘‘Earliest of All’? type. It is a wrin-
kled marrow with a good constitution. In earliness it is within a day or two of ‘‘Earliest of all,” but pods contain on the average
7 to 8 very large peas of the richest flavor. The height is from 3 to 33 feet. As an early we consider this as the finest early
pea ever introduced and likely to supersede that fine early pea, “‘Gradus,”’ being earlier, hardier in constitution and darker in color.

EXTRA-EARLY OHIO POTATO.

Some early varieties will yield edible potatoes about as soon
as the Extra-Early Ohio, but their tops will be green for days after
the Extra-Early Ohio have fully ripened. The Extra-Early Ohio
is fully two weeks ahead of the Early Rase, and is a general favorite
with potato growers and marketmen alike, and the most profit-
able potato they can possibly grow. The sprouts are very strong,
the vines grow erect, and are easy to cultivate; maturing early,
it brings the highest prices, and the land can be used for another
crop after it; does well on any soil suitable for potatoes. The
tubers grow compact in the hill, are easily dug, with very few small
ones—nearly every potato is. of marketable size; has few eyes,
which are even’ with the surface.. With heavy manuring, CLOSE
PLANTING, and goed culture, a very large and profitable crop
can be expected—300 to 500 bushels per acre is not an unusual
yield.

Our stock is grown in the RED RIVER VALLEY, which
is famous for its fine Potatoes. The greatest care is taken in the
selection of Potatoes for seed and the result is that every one is
a picture of what the EARLY OHIO SHOULD BE. We know

that no earlier, purer or more handsome stock of Early Ohios can
Extra Early Ohio, be found anywhere. 4 pk. 30c; pk. 50c; bu. $1.50; 24 bu. $3.50

, EXTRA EARLY SIX WEEK POTATO.

Probably the earliest Potato in ph and the most popular on account of its reliability under all conditions. It is of medium
size, smooth and oblong; skin pink, flesh white. Potatoes are fit for table use in six weeks from the time of planting, and
are fully matured in ten or eleven weeks. 4 pk. 30c; pk. 50c; bu. $1.50; 24 bu. $3.50.

EARLY ACME POTATO.

A splendid new variety of the Early Ohio class originated several years ago. The tubers have the peculiar markings of the
Early Ohio, but still are quite distinct from that variety. It is several days earlier in ripening than the Early Ohio, and can be
masriccted Sone before the Potatoes are matured. When they are still small like walnuts, they will cook nice and mealy, and are
of the est flavor.

The tubers grow medium to large and are very uniform both in form and size; both seed and stem ends are round and full;
skin is of a light pink to flesh color with specks peeuliar to the Ohio class, and the eyes flush with the surface. Although an extra
early kind, it is an excellent keeper. For an early eye and early market Potato this splendid variety cannot be too highly recom-
mended. 3 pk. 25c; pk. 40c; bu. $1.40, 24 bu, $3.25 ; |

IMPROVED EARLY ROSE.

An oblong potato having a rose-colored skin, and white flesh of excellent cooking quality. The genuine Karly Rose is marked
inside the skin with a strip of rose color which disappears when cooked. A sure, safe potato, not as early as the above mentioned
sorts. The potatoes are well bunched in the hill and the vines are large and heavy, which is a double advantage in that they protect
the soil underneath from drying out as it would, if exposed to the sun, and further, in the fact that the vigorous growth is not
so easily cut off by the ravages of the potato bug or beetle as in the Hae vined sorts. Our stock has been greatly improved by
careful selection. 4 pk. 30c; pk. 50c; bu. $1.50; 24 bu. $3.50. . EK «6th ly ak oles se Te. aim Eo

CARMAN No. 3—-THE , BEST,;MAIN CROPSPOTATO.

The fame of this potato is abroad in the land, and it is unquestionably the very best main crop potato on the market. All
the Carman Seedlings (originated by Mr. Elbert S. Carman, late editor of the Rural New Yorker) have proven popular; but the
Carman No, 3 is already rivaling in popularity the Burbank, and is undoubtedly a much better potato. Without any exception
whatever it is the GREATEST YIELDING POTATO ever introduced, and it may be fairly claimed that it does not yield any
small tubers at all. The tubers are borne very close to the plant, a single turn of the fork turning out every potato. It is of large
size and of the shapeliest form. Eyes are few and shallow. It is a perfect keeper, and is not surpassed as a table vate. Skin
and flesh are of extreme whiteness. It has no hollow hearts or any dark parts. +$ pk. 25c; pk. 40c; bu. $1.35; 2% bu. $3.15.

{tis decidedly better than its parents, the tubers being quite uniform in size, with but few small ones-among them. It is from
4 to 6 days later than the parent stock. The color is the same, the skin and flesh being white. In fact it can justly be claimed
for Sir Walter Raleigh that it is the whitest fleshed and finest potato on the whole list of main erop sorts, not even excepting the
snowflakes. It promises to supersede all other sorts of its class on account of its sterling excellence. On the grounds of the Rural

MUSHROOM SPAWN.

Mushrooms can be easily grown in cellars, in sheds, in hot-beds, greenhouses, on shelves or any
out of way places. Fermenting horse manure at a temperature of about 70 degrees, mixed with
an equal weight of fresh sod loam, is made into beds the size required, 8 inches,deep. See to it that
the bed is packed very solidly and evenly. Break up the spawn into pieces about the size of a walnut
and plant in this bed, about 6 inches apart each way, covering the whole with 2 inches of light soil,
and protect from rain and cold. One brick will plant about 10 square feet of bed. The mushrooms
will appear in about 5 weeks. Keep moist, using lukewarm water if possible. We can always furnish
spawn from reliable makers.

productive and come to maturity earlier. The spawn usually sold has been prepared for months, much of its vitality being:
spent before it is planted. This spawn, however, is fresh made and is received by us at frequent intervals. It comes in bricks weigh-

fruits, which permits of a greater number of slices being taken than
with flat fruited sorts. Among the very first to ripen, although of

or main crop sow middle of July to middle of August. Make drills 14 inches apart, inch deep, and when plants are large enough,
thin the roots 5 or 6 inches apart. One oz. to 150 feet of drill; 2 Ibs. to the acre in drills. To preserve until spring,
cut off tops of bulb and store in dry place, covering with stand.

HUNKEL’S SELECTED FARM SEEDS.

We pay particular attention to this department of our business. The seeds we offer are selected with special
reference to their quality. They are all fresh, pure and free from all foreign seed, all being recleaned by up-
to-date machinery.

PRICES QUOTED ON FARM SEEDS by the pound inckide prepayment by mail. Larger quantities
we do not deliver free, but send by express or freight at purchaser’s expense, but our prices include packing,
boxes, bags (unless otherwise noted), and free delivery to any express or freight depot in Milwaukee.

MARKET CHANGES. Owing to the unsteady condition of the market, prices are constantly changing.
The prices given here are those ruling at the time this catalogue went to press, about December 15th. Should
our prices seem high on some items, write for special quotations. We also reserve the right to advance prices
if the market advances. -

HUNKEL’S SEED CORN.

With no other farm product does the crop so much depend upon the nature of the seed than with Corn.
It is not only a matter of GERMINATION, but the greatest importance is its VIGOR and VITALITY produced
by most careful and scientific breeding in a NORTHERN CLIMATE. ;

We offer, this year as in the past years, WISCONSIN GROWN STOCK of many of the varieties listed,
but to meet the competition of other seed dealers who offer Western grown seed as Northern grown, we will
this year also have a fine lot of Nebraska grown Seed. While the Nebraska Seed we offer is excellent it should
not be compared with our Wisconsin grown stock, which is thoroughly acclimated and will give good crops even
in poor seasons when the western seed will fare poorly.

We test every lot of corn several times and know positively that it will germinate before it leaves our hands.
At the same time we recommend that our customers order early, and test it themselves, making sure that it
will grow before planting it.

INSIST ON KNOWING WHERE YOUR SEED CORN WAS GROWN. How
long will Wisconsin and Northern farmers continue to plant Southern and
Western seed? There certainly is no pleasure in husking soft corn, or worse still,
to see your corn just about maturing to be cut down by an early frost. Our
corn is all fire-dried and carefully selected. It is tipped by hand when shelled,
thus throwing out all of the small weak kernels.

OUR SEED CORN GUARANTEE. We alsolutely guarantee our Seed Corn
to be as represented. If not as represented, simply return it to us and your money
will he refunded. There is no loophole here for us to crawl out of, we mean just
what we say. |

: WISCONSIN YELLOW DENT.
THE BEST EARLY LARGE CORN FOR WISCONSIN AND THE NORTHWEST

A large Yellow Dent variety, so early that it will grow in thé Northern States,
and at the same time out yield all other varieties. Ears are 714 inches long and
weigh about 10 ounces; are many rowed, usually 18 to 22 rows; cob, red; color,
bright yellow. It is not a tall growing variety. It is very productive, producing
big crops in dry seasons when other varieties fail or do poorly. Its great vigor
enables it to stand dry weather remarkably and to give a good crop with ordinary
cultivation. No other variety can approach this, and it is bound, when known
to be more extensively grown than all other varieties. It is truly a 90 day corn.

hh grow to an average height of 8 feet, and are thickly covered with foliage close to
: at the ground. The ears are very large, with 16 to 20 rows of large deep kernels,
which are closely set on a small white cob. It occupies the same place among
white sorts as the Wisconsin Yellow Dent does in the yellow.

‘This is an exceedinglygvaluable corn for the Northwest where Dent sorts can-
not always be depended upon to mature a crop. It has no equal for ability to endure
extremes of heat and cold, flood and drought, and being so extremely early, it
is soon out of danger of frost.

_ The stalks grow only to a medium height, and are well rooted and firm, thus
being able to withstand the strongest winds. In appearance the Minnesota King
Corn is a distinct variety, it being a half yellow Dent. The kernels are very large,
broad, and of a rich golden color. The ears are of good size, and always well filled
to the tip; cob is small. OUR STOCK OF THIS IS NORTHERN ILLINOIS

ODERBRUCKER BARLEY.—WISCONSIN NO. 6.
THE HEAVIEST YIELDING AND PLUMPEST 6-ROWED BARLEY EVER INTRODUCED.

This new ba:ley was introduced in 1906 by the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station., It has been tested by many
members of the Experiment Association and all report that it yields from 5 to 10 bushels more per acre than any other barley
without exceptions. It is pronounced excellent for malting purposes by all brewers and malsters who have used it. It is an ex-
ceptionally good feeding barley as it contains a large amount of protein. We estimate that if Oderbrucker Barley were used

BLUE RIBBON BARLEY.

This new six rowed barley was introduced to the farmers in the vicinity of Milwaukee
several years ago by the Pabst Brewing Co., and is now largely used by all of the Milwaukee
Breweries. Its value to the brewers lies in the fact that the amount of saccharine matter
found in it is greater than that found in any other variety. It is popular with the growers
as it always commands a high price and is always saleable no matter how weak the market
may be. The berry is large and plump with a heavy hull, well closed and well filled out.
Compared with Manscheuri it outyields it by about 10 to 15 bushels per acre; the grain
is also heavier and plumper than that variety, It has been named the BLUE RIBBON
as its color under the hull and near the tip is distinquished by a bluish tint. 4} pk.

A new two rowed barley recently introduced by the U. 8. Dept. of Agriculture. It
has long been used by the German and Austrian Brewers for their best beer and since
its introduction into this country is readily. purchased by the American Brewers. It is
very early in ripening, maturing before the hot season can influence it. It is a very heavy
yielder of excellent mealy grain of a creamy white color, one of the essential points in
a good malting barley. The large kernel is plump and meaty and is thin skinned. It

The Champion is an improved Beardless Barley. It is similar to the Success Beardless,
but it is larger, has stronger straw and yeilds more per acre. It is absolutely beardless
and nice to handle, and the straw may be fed to stock without fear of injury. It is earlier
than any bearded variety, better to seed with, better for feeding; ands yields

New Japanese—This is a brown or almost black variety, and is very
early, about a week earlier than the Silverhull. It is a vigorous grower of
both vines and seed, and yields quite heavily. The flour made from it is of
the best quality. It does not require as thick seeding as other Buckwheat :
as it branches out so much. It is perfectly hardy and will grow in the extreme |

SWEDISH SELECT OATS.
GREATEST OF ALL OATS.

Introduced into this country from Russia 7 years ago by Prof. M. A. Carleton of the U. S.
Agricultural department. It has now beer grown on the Wisconsin University grounds for several
years and is®claimed by all to be the best American Oat. :

The following are some of the reasons why these oats are considered ‘‘the best.”

Ist. They outyield all others; every one who has tried them testifies to this.

2nd. They are the heaviest, weighing from 36 to 45 lbs. per bushel.

8rd. The straw is very stiff ana will net lodge.

4th. Fine appearance. Large, thick and plump; color pure white; heads upright and

: Pe

ushy.
5th. Hull very thin, almost all meat. This is what makes them valuable as a feeding oat.
6th. Great root development making it drought proof.
7th. It adapts itself to all soils and climates.
Sth. It is the earliest of all heavy yielding sorts.
9th. It is free from rust and smut. :
The stock we offer is true Swedish, and is extra recleaned. The demand itor this oats_last

LINCOLN OATS

Until “‘Swedish Select?’ oats was introduced, we always considered the Lincoln Oat as the
best. It was introduced in 1893 and has been very popular ever since, It is early, an enormous
yielder and free from rust. On account of its stiff straw, it stands up perfectly under weather
that cause most varieties to lodge. Its thin hull, heavy meat and soft nib, make it the bestfand
most economical oat for feeding and grinding, Our stock comes direct from the introducers
in Minnesota. Peck 25c; bu. 80c; 5 bu. $3.75; 10 bu. $7 00.

BIG FOUR OATS.

Big Four is a large, rather late oat, with plump kernel and thin hull, It has the largest grain
of any variety we know of. It is a pure white oat, free from black kernels, and has’a wonder-
fully stiff straw. There is nothing, certainly among the standard varieties, that makes a
stronger, heavier growth, or that yields as well. The introducers claim a yield recordfof 250

THOUSAND HEADED KALE.

A native of Europe, producing a tremendous mass of beautiful cut and curled leaves, which are
long, large and rich, one eateal rest color, and are eagerly sought and eaten by sheep, horses and
cattle. e seed can be sown early in April or any time thereafter until midsummer. The best way
is to plant with a garden drill, dropping the seeds about eight inches apart in the row, and the rows
twelve inches apart each way. One pound this way will be sufficient for an acre, but if you
wish to sow it broadcast use three pounds per acre. Our Thousand Headed Kale is hardier than
Rape, and therefore becomes a magnificent plant to sow in conjunction with Rape, so that you can figure
to pasture sheep, cattie, hogs and poultry a month to eight weeks longer by having a few acres of Thousand
Headed Kale than you can on Rape alone. It grows to_a height of 3 or 4 feet, the roots penetrating
to a great depth in the sub-soil, so that the plant is not affected by drought. It grows with great rapidity
after being fed off and flourishes in all kinds of soils. Lb. 35c, postpaid. By freight Ib. 25c; 5 lbs.

DURUM OR MACARONI. (Kubanka.)

This is the most valuable wheat for dry and semi-arid regions, yielding heavy crops where
other sorts fail. 1t resists drought, the attack of Fungus pests, rust and smut, and always
furnishes an excellent hard grain inclined to be brownish-red in color and very large in size.
The heads are compactly formed and are bearded. Itis a sure crop. In the north it should
be sown as a spring wheat while south of the 35th parallel (Kansas and further south) it can
be sown in fall as Winter Wheat. It is now considered a wheat of the highest class ranking
with all other varieties as a milling wheat. There are several varieties of Durum wheat;
the best and the one recommended by the U.S. Agricultural Dept. is the Kubanka Variety.

A new spring wheat of wonderful value.’ It is an improved Blue Stem or Velvet
Chaff Wheat, which has for many years been the leading hard red spring wheat. It produces
strong and vigorous growing plants, the chaff of which enclosing the grain is much thicker
and firmer than on most wheat, on account of which it will not be as easily affected by rust
and blight as other kinds. It is also free from smut, whick does so much damage to other
varieties. The grain is always nice and plump, flinty and almost transparent. It produces
about 3 bushels more to the acre than any other variety; in other words, the man that sows
the No. 169 will increase his profit by about $3.00 an acre. Our stock is pure and gen-

sides giving 4 tons of hay to the acre, Excellent for pasture and can be fed in green state.
The heads are similar to two-rowed barley, the spikelets being separated so that it is not easily
injured by’ the weather. Will produce enormous crops on land where wheat will not
grow any longer. Dry weather does not seem to have any effect on it. It is a wonderful
stooler and a robust grower and can be fed same as oats with the hulls. Grain also

SAND OR HAIRY VETCH.

VICIA VILLOSA.

Also called Winter Vetch. Among the various leguminous plants introduced during recent
years with such manifest advantage to farmers there is not one of greater value than the
Hairy Vetch. _As a soil reclaimer and forage crop it has no equal and it is only to be regret-
ted that this Vetch is not more universally sown. It is an annual plant, similar in growth
to a very slender and straggling pea vine, the vines often reaching 10 to 12 feet in length,
and covering the ground with a dense mat of forage 2 feet in depth. Stock of all kinds eat
it greedily, both in pastures and when cut for hay. It bears our heaviest frosts without
injury, and is one of the few plants which can be grown during the winter in the more South-
ern states for green manuring. Whilst it does not make a very vigorous growth during
the winter. it yet lives and grows, and is ready to push into quick and luxuriant growth as
soon a8 ever the mild days of spring set in. When once this ‘growth starts, it continues
through wet and drought, and the quantity of forage made is wonderful. It has made as
much as 45,000 pounds of green feed to the acre, and this feed is of the most nutritious char-
acter, It is much richer in protein (the muscle and growth producing element) than Red
Clover, or than the Cow Pea, whilst in fat-producing matter it is nearly the equal of those
plants. As a soil improver it is richer in nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash than any of
the Clovers or the Cow Pea. If intended for forage or hay, it should be sown at the rate
of 30 or 40 pounds:to the acre, with a light seeding of oats, wheat or rye. This will hold
up the vines, and make it easier to cut and harvest the crop. I!f intended for pasture or a
soil improver, sow alone at the rate of 50 or 60 pounds to the acre. Sow early in spring
or in August and September, on well prepared land. When sown alone it will make a perfect
mat all over the field, which will continue to increase in thickness all through the spring
and summer, as the vines fall down and grow through again. When plowed down the soi)

DWARF ESSEX RAPE.

Throughout a large portion of the United States
farmers and stockraisers could advantageously grow
of this so succulent and nourishing a forage crop for
feeding stock during the summer and autumn months,
when the supply of grasses and clovers is often
limited. Dwarf Essex Rape can be grown to good Mf

advantage on land that has already produced an‘

early maturing crop of some sort, such as?oats,
rye or winter wheat. |

Dwarf Essex Rape is a pasture plant for all
kinds of live stock—sheep, cows and swine; for
fattening sheep it is most valuable. To provide
for an early pasture for sheep and swine, it should
be sown early in the spring, and 2s it is a remark-
ably fast grower, it will be ready to he eaten off
in five weeks from the time of sowing. Unlike
other plants it can be sown at any time: during
spring and summer, and you can have a good pasture
just when you need it. | :

SUGAR CANE OR SORGHUM.

Eariy Amber—This is the only variety of Cane that makes a fine syrup, clear as erystal.
The syrup has a very delicious flavor, and all that have used it prefer it to the New Orleans molas-
ses. There is nothing like a home product on your table for you know that it is a pure article.

Dairy farmers say that this is the most valuable fodder in existence for their use. Not-
withstanding its great adaptability as a food for live stock, it is only quite recently that the
real value of sorghum (or sugar cane) has attracted general attention. Its great merit is now
beginning to be appreciated, and the demand is increasing about tenfold every year. It is prof-
itably grown anywhere from Manitoba to Mexico, on any good corn ground, and does not appear
to be affected by drought. As a fodder plant it is the most economical plant in existence, and

2 Bak of the very best quality, being sweet, tender, nutritious, and greedily eaten by cattle, horses

SOY OR SOJA BEANS.

This valuable forage plant is one of the most nutritious of all vegetable
products. It will produce a crop of 20 to 30 bushels per acre, and is as
easily grown as other beans. For pasturing or feeding as green fodder
it is very valuable, and nearly equal to clover for fertilizing. When roasted
and coarsely ground the beans taste so nearly like Brazilian coffee that
the difference is scarcely perceptible. It is certainly the best of all
substitutes for cofiee yet found.

Sow at corn planting time, after the ground has become warm, broad-
east if to be cut for hay, about 1 bushel of seed per acre. Orifto be
harvested and threshed sow in rows 30 inches apart and about 4 inches
apart in the-row. One peck of seed will plant an acre in this way. Cul-

COW PEAS.

Cow Peas are held in very high esteem for forage purposes, especially
on sandy soils. It has been said that the Cow Pea has almost as much
agricultural importance in the South as red clover in the North or Alfalfa
in the far west. Great changes are now in progress, however, in farming =
methods, and there is today a wide spread disposition to plant Cow Peas JULES ?
farther north than formerly, on account of their quick growing habit, Soja Beans
their drought resisting ability, and their great value for silage and soil improvement purposes
They will thrive wherever conditions favor corn. The yield of green fodder per acre often reaches
5 tons, and is sometimes as much as 8 or 9 tons. Some growers turn the mature vines under
with the plow. Some harvest the hay and plow down the stubble. Others ripen and pick the
seed, and then plow the vines under. Some Cow Peas are trailers, with very long vines; others
assume the bush form. Sow seed at the rate of 1 to 14 bu. per acre. The Cow Pea is a nitrogen
gatherer, and hence improves the soil.

seed may be sown and covered very lightly. When the plants are about six inches high,
transplant into rows four or five feet apart each way; cultivate thoroughly with plow and hoe.

MILLET. 3

Probably there is no other fodder plant more favorably known than Millet, and yet there is not enough attention paid to it.
Nothing pays better for a stock raiser and diary farmer than a few acres in Millet of some kind, for it is of the greatest feeding value
and milk producing quality, and*yielding at least again as much of the most delicious hay per acre as Timothy and Clover. It
should be sown regularly every year and not merely as a catch crop. When spring is so unfavorable that other crops fail to grow
or when the season is so late and wet that other crops wjll not mature any more, then there is always the greatest demand for
Millet. We will fill all orders at the low prices quoted below as long as our large stock lasts, but reserve the right to change to
market prices when it is exhausted. Grain sacks extra at 18 cents each.

GERMAN MILLET.

In the North, Millet is sown almost altogether for hay, and for that purpose Southern grown seed is much the best.
It grows taller than does that from Northern seed, and that means more hay. It is finer than that from Northern seed, and
that means better hay. In fact, it is our judgment, based on an experience of many years, that a farmer had better, from the
standpoint of profit alone, pay $2.00 a bushel for true Southern grown German Millet than to sow the best Northern Millet
as a gift. Millet seed produced in the North, even from Southern seed, becomes what we call Common Millet. Not only
does the plant change its character, becoming coarser and much more dwarf,
but the seed itself shows a change, and is readily distinguished by those experienced
in handling it. The seed that we offer is True Southern Grown, and not the
cheap Northern grown seed offered by many dealers at a low price. Lb. 15e,
postpaid. Pk. 40c; bu. $1.25; 2 or more bu. at $1.15.

COMMON MILLET.

Very early; grows 3 to 4 feet high; foliage broad. Sow one bushel to the
acre. (50 Ibs. to the bushel.) Lb. 15c, postpaid. Pk. 30c; bu. $1.00; 2 or more

HUNGARIAN.

_ (Dark Seed.) Many regard this as being better even than German Millet,
as it is aboutfone week earlier and requires less moisture. The hay is fine and
of excellent .feeding.value. Lb. 15c, postpaid. Pk. 30c; bu. (48 Ibs.) $1.10;
2 or more bu. at $1.00.

EARLY FORTUNE MILLET.

A most promising new variety, of whichastonishing yields arereported. Itis
very early, and it is claimed to be rust proof, and that chinch bugs will not eat
the plant. The®seed is very beautiful and distinguished in appearance. Lb.
15ce, postpaid. Pk. 30c; per bu. $1.00.

HOG:OR BROOM CORN MILLET.

This is grown for the same purposes for which the other Millets are sown, but
makes inferior hay unless cut very young. It however, yields enormously of
seed, even 60 to 70 bushels to the acre, and this seed is very advantageously
used for fattening swine and other stock, and is of special value for this purpose
in sections where corn cannot be safely or cheaply grown. Lb. 15c, postpaid.

Pk. 30c; bu. $1.00.
SIBERIAN MILLET.

A new variety from Russia, earlier than either German Millet or Hungarian,
and consequently very valuable for the North, and yields remarkably. The
South Dakota Experiment Station pronounces it ‘‘the most promising variety
yet tested.’’ The plant stools to a remarkable degree, and is not subject to
rust.:, Lb. 15c, postpaid. Pk. 30c; bu. (50 lbs.) $1.10; 2 or more bu. at $1.00.

JAPANESE (Barnyard) MILLET.

Also called “Billion Dollar Grass.”” Entirely distinct from any other Millet.
It grows 6 to 8 feet high, stands remarkably well notwithstanding its great height,
and yields from 10 to 12 tons green fodder per acre. When cured it makes an
excellent quality of hay, and is also much relished as green fodder. If to be
made into hay, cure as you would a heavy crop of Clover. It may be sown from
the middle of May to the 1st of July, broadcast, at the rate of 15 lbs. per acre;
but it is better to sow it in drills, 12 to 18 inches apart, using 10 to 12 lbs. per
acre, and hoed between the rows to keep down all weeds until the plant attains
a height of 12 to 18 inches, when its rapid growth will smother all weeds. :

CAHOON SEEDER.

Thefold¥standard make for sowing wheat, oats, hemp, barley, rye, buckwheat, grass seeds,
ete. The grain is held in a tight sheet-iron hopper, surrounded by a bag, which will hold a
bushel of seed. This is suspended by a strap from the operator’s neck, and held in position
by a strap around the waist. The seed is thrown from 8 to 20 feet on each side of the operator,
the heaviest seed being, of course, thrown the greater distance. A man will easily sow from
4 to 6 acres per hour with this machine, which weighs 54 Ibs. $2.90 each.

HUNKEL’S PERFECT SEEDER.

HIGH GRADE. RECLEANED.

We handle only the very best and purest grass and clover seeds. Our prices are based on supplying you the very highest
germinating and purest seed the market affords. Grass seeds are like grain, their market value changes daily; the prices
below are those ruling about January Ist, 1907, and are subject to change. We are in a position to quote the very lowest prices
on the best qualities and will gladly mail samples and prices. If wanted by mail add 10 cts. per pound for postage.

BROMUS INERMIS.

Also called Awnless Brome Grass. It is the best grass for pasture or hay. Most valuable grass for dry lands. It
endures extremes of temperature and resists protracted drought, succeeding where Alfalfa fails. Poor lands are no discourage-
ment. It grows best in light, sandy loam, but its roots will penetrate the stiffest clay, It is equally good for cutting green, pastur-
ing or cutting into hay. In Dakota it yielded the second year nearly 24 tons per acre, and on another acre plot 2 tons were cut
June 28th, and 2,600 pounds at a second cutting, August 19th. Dr. Sewell of the U.S. Experiment Station, Garden City, Kan.,

says it is equal to Timothy for cattle or horses, and makes as fine a pasture as Blue Grass.

It has done equally well in Canada,

California and Kansas, as well as other states. Use 35 to 40 pounds to the acre, if alone; if with Alfalfa, 15 pounds; they grow well

together. Cut when first coming into bloom. Our seed is absolutely pure and true to name.

Rhode Island Bent Grass—For permanent pastures this
is very valuable, but it is more desirable for lawn purposes.
It will make beautiful, close, fine sod upon quite sterile soil.
It is a very hardy perennial, 1 to 2 feet high, flowering in June
and July. (Bu. 14 lbs.) lb. 25c; 10 !bs. $2.00; 100 Ibs. $18.00.

Creeping Bent Grass—Particularly valuable for lawns
that are to be used as croquet and tennis grounds; because it
is benefited more than hurt by tramping, and by its bright
color adds to the beauty of the lawn. (Bu. 14 lbs.) Lb. 25ce;
10 lbs. $2.00; 100 lbs. $18.00

Blue Grass, Kentucky—Also known as June and Mead-
ow Grass. One of the most valuable lawn and pasture grasses.
It is early and continues growing until late in fall; succeeds
in most apy soil and goes through drought successfully. It
is slow in becoming established and is best sown with other
grasses. Write for latest prices in quantity. Two grades.

Meadow Fescue, or English Blue Grass—One of the
earliest, most nutritious and productive of all grasses. It
thrives well on all good soils; makes a perfect sod and is valuable
for permanent pastures. Sow 143 bushels per acre. (Bu. 20
Ibs.) Lb. 15c; 10 lbs. $1.25; 100 Ibs. $10.00.

Hard Fescue—Similar to Sheep’s Fescue, but not so
dense, and growing somewhat taller. This often will cover
sandy soil under the shade of large trees where no other grass
will grow. Is a desirable addition to lawn grass. Sow thirty
pounds per acre. (Bu. 14 lbs.) Lb. 15c; 10 Ibs. $1.10; 100
Ibs. $8.50.

Sheep’s Fescue—This variety prefers to grow on light,
sandy soil, and dry uplands or hillsides. It is deep rooted,
and not affected by extreme drought. Sheep are especially
fond of it, and in mixtures for permanent pastures on dry
uplands, particularly if used for sheep grazing, it should be
included, as it is highly relished by them, being one of the
sweetest grasses and very nutritious. On account of its fine
foliage and compact growth it is very desirable for lawn purposes.
It is a hardy perennial, 1 to 2 feet high, flowering in June and
July. (Bu. 14 Ibs.) Lb. 15c; 10 lbs. $1.10; 100 Ibs.$9.00.

Orchard Grass, or Rough Cocksfoot—This is one of
the most valuable and widely known of all the pasture grasses,
coming earlier in the spring and remaining later in the autumn
than any other. It grows about 2% feet high, producing an
immense amount of leaves and foliage. Blooms with red clover,
making with it an admirable hay. It is well adapted for sowing
under trees or in orchards, and is very valuable either for
grazing or for hay. 30 lbs. to acre. (Bu. 14 Ibs.) Lb. 20e:
10 Ibs. $1.60; 100 Ibs. $14.00.

_ Red Top—A valuable grass for moist soils and low lands
It is a good, permanent grass and is well suited to pastures,
in which it should be fed close, for if allowed to run to seed,
cattle will refuse it. There are two grades of it, the common
or chaffy, and the fancy, which is absolutely clean seed. We
recommend the Fancy. Grain bags extra, 18c each.

Fancy Red Top—Absolutely pure. (Bu. 32 lbs.) L.b.15e;

English, or Perennial Rye Grass—This grass is consider-
ed invaluable for permanent pasture grass. Produces an
abundance of remarkable fine foliage, and soon forms a compact
sod. After being cut, it grows quickly and remains bright
and green through the season. It is also a good variety for
hay if cut when in blossom, as it is then most nutritious. Flour-
ishes best in moist soil. (Bu: 24 lbs.) Lb. 10c; 10 Ibs. 80c;
100 lbs. $7.25. :

Italian Rye Grass—This is one of the Grasses not well
known, but very valuable, and deserving more attention. It
grows on almost any soil, but thrives best on rich, moist land.
On ground best adapted for it, and especially if irrigated,
immense crops can be produced, as it can be cut 4 or 5 times,
and yields as high as 7 or 8 tons of dry hay per acre. It is
well adapted for pastures, on account of its early growth in
spring and its quick and successive aftergrowth when closely
cropped. It grows 2 to 4 feet high, with an abundance of
foliage, and is much liked by cattle and stock generally. When
sown alone, about 20 pounds of seed per acre is sufficient.
(Bu. 18 Ibs.) Lb. 10c; 10 lbs. 80c; 100 lbs. $7 25.

Timothy—tThis is decidedly the best grass for hay, making
a large return on strong, rich clay, of medium state of moisture.
Our stock of Timothy is absolutely pure, and is Wisconsin
grown. We have this in two grades as follows: Bags extra,
at 18c each.

Extra Choice—Absolutely pure, lb. 10c; bu. $2.75;

Alsike, or Swedish—The most hardy of all the Clovers. On rich, moist soils it yields an enormous quantity of hay or
pasture, and may be cut several times in a season, but its greatest value is for sowing with other clovers and grasses, as it forms
a thick bottom and greatly increases the yield of hay, and cattle prefer it to any other forage. It is a true perennial, producing

ALFALFA, OR LUCERNE.

OUR SEED IS ABSOLUTELY FREE FROM YELLOW TREFOIL, BURR CLOVER AND DODDER.

One of the most valuable and largely grown forage plants, It requires a deep, rich, well-drained soil. It should not be sown
on heavy, sticky clay soil where water stands near the surface. Its greatest value lies in the enormous yield of sweet and nutri-
tious forage, which is highly relished by all kinds of stock. Not only this, but. it will continue to yield about ten tons to the acre
for 10 to 15 years. The roots grow very long, often growing to the depth of 10 to 15 feet, thus making the plant almost drought-
proof, and at the same time enriching the soil, The seed should be sown in April at the rate of 20 to 30 pounds to the acre.

TURKESTAN ALFALFA.

Perfectly hardy; withstands drought, heat and cold; yields the heaviest and richest crops of fodder; the best
elover for hay and permanent pasture.

In Turkestan, Asia, where this seed grows, the winters are very cold and the summers dry and hot, so that it is able to with-
stand the greatest extremes of cold and heat.. It has been exposed to a minimum temperature of 45 degrees below zero at the
Wyoming Experiment Station and it came through unharmed. We consider it superior to the common Alfalfa, as it makes
a much faster growth and the hay produced is much finer and more nutritious. The seed we offer is imported direct from Turkestan.

HUNKEL’S SPECIAL GRASS MIXTURES.

FOR PERMANENT MEADOWS AND PASTURES.

There are a great many parts of the country where only one or two kinds of grasses are known, and mostly sown, and these
are Timothy and Clover. While Timothy is a splendid grass, and Clover is the foundation of all successful farming, neither is per-
manent, nor well adapted for pasturing, and both are easily affected by drought and frosts, thereby making it necessary to re-sow
every year or two. On this account we have made and offer the following permanent mixtures. These mixtures are put up with

particular care, and with the best grades of seed only. We know that they will produce a heavy and thick growth, and-will last. :

for years.

The amount of seed necessary to seed an acre depends upon the land and the location, but we believe in heavy seeding, and
think that 35 pounds would be a fair average. :

These mixtures consist of the following grasses, mixed in proper proportion to give best results: Medium Red Clover, _Mam-
moth Red Clover, Alsike, Alfalfa, White Clover, Crimson Clover, Fancy Red Top, Blue Grass, Timothy, Orchard Grass, Meadow
Fescue, Hard Fescue, Sheep’s Fescue, Meadow Foxtail, Tall Meadow Oat Grass, English Rye Grass, Italian Rye Grass, Creeping
Bent, and Rough Stalked Meadow Grass.

HUNKEDL’S SWEET PEAS.

A FEW HINTS FOR THE SUCCESSFUL CULTURE OF SWEET PEAS.

The plants should not be raised on the same ground for two consecutive seasons, neither should they be planted on the same

ground after culinary peas.
Bone Meal is the best fertilizer to use.

They will not thrive on poor land. They need sun.
Manure is not desirabie.
apart the plants will bloom a trifle later but they will be stronger and bloom longer.

Do not sow too thick. By sowing the seed about four inches
Don’t water so as only to wet the surface

but see when you water that it soaks into the ground about 6 inches.
Cut the flowers continually. The more you cut the more they bloom. Remember that when you allow them to go to seed

they will stop blooming.

The following is a list of the sweet peas that we
carry. We have discarded some of the older kinds that
have been displaced by the newer and better sorts.

CRUSHED OYSTER SHELLS.

The most frequent cause of hens
not laying is the absence in the food
of carbonate of lime. As oyster
shells are practically pure carbonate
of lime, they supply, when fed to
poultry, the most essential element,
and greatly aid in the formation of
the egg. Our shells are pure and

a 2 "ME ‘CUT CLOVER HAY.

Our Cut Clover Hay is the very best the market affords
and is the standard ‘“‘Green Focd’”’ for winter egg production.
Clover hay contains over 90 times more lime (for the shel!s)
than does any kind of grain, and nearly as much solid matter
as corn, hence it is a concentrated foud and highly nourishing.
To feed it, pour boiling water over it late in the afternoon,
cover the vessel with a tight lid and let it steam, swell and
soften until morning. By this treatment it becomes green.
pungently odorous and an appetizing food for any kind of
poultry. It may be fed mixed with a soft mash, or placed
in a trovgh, or scattered on a clean surface. The fowls will
pick it to pieces, eating all of it. ircluding the stems. Cut
elover makes a fine litter for brooders, especially for newly
hatched chicks; it is healthy, invigorating and of lasting benefit.

HUNKEL’S ROUP CURE.

Roup is a very contagious disease,
and if its ravages are not checked as soon
as possible after it appears in a flock, it
will soon infect every fowl in the flock.
Beware of colds in the flock, for they
may be the first symptoms of contagious
roup.

Roup is caused by damp quarters, or
drafts sweeping through the sleeping
quarters.

Roup is not always found in the ma-
lignant form. It may seem to be only
a slight cold and the germs will remain
in a poultry house year after year with-
out killing a single fowl. Then there
will come a time when conditions are
favorable for its development and it will
break out and run through the flock,
killing many and leaving the remainder
debilitated and incapable of producing
eggs from which strong chicks may be
hatched.

Symptoms. Running at the nose, watery eyes, a disposi-
t.on to wipe the beak against the feathers under the wing,
sticking them together rattling in the throat, swelled heads,
canker in the mouth and throat.

For a good many years it was thought that roup could
not be cured and authorities recommended killing every fowl
showing the disease. We now offer a cure for this dreaded
disease that is effective even in advanced cases. Hunkel’s
Roup Cure will quickly and permanently cure roup in its worst
form, completely destroying the germs of the disease and
restoring perfect health and vigor. It is simply put in the
drinking water and the fowl takes its own medicine.

A single package costing 50 cents, will make 25 gallons
of medicine, which wi-_] be enough to cure a flock of 500 fowls.
You cannot afford to lose even one common hen when a certain
cure is offered at a price less than such a hen is worth, It
prevents and cures colds and canker. It should be used occa-
sionally, as a preventive, thus insuring the flock against this
dreaded disease. Price, postpaid, 50c

be given every day or two in the drinking 4water for all
fowls—one teaspoonful of liquid Germozone or one _ tablet
to each half gallon of water. This
is good for both old and young

This is a positive cure for bowe ~
trouble, indigestion, diarrhoea, dysentery,
cholera, ete., in fowls, both old and
young. It tones up the system and puts
the flock in excellent condition. A fowl
which is troubled with disease of the
digestive organs usually loses its appetite
but becomes very thirsty. Conkey’s
Cholera Cure takes advantage of this
important point, as it is given in the
drinking water, the fowl taking its own
medicine. It is highly recommended for
turkeys and pigeons. One box makes
50 gallons of medicine. Price, 50c

CONKEY’S HEALING SALVE...

A scientifically perpared ointment
possessing wonderful curative powers. It
is an antiseptic, killing all disease germs, and at the same
time healing all manner of .wounds, abrasions, skin diseases,
swellings, etc. To the poultryman it is invaluable for curing
chicken-pox, favus, scaly legs, and for healing all sorts of
wounds, scratches, burns, cuts, scalds, etc., among his fowls.
A poultryman should not fail to keep this preparation on
hand. There is necessarily a large
amount of disease germs lurking about
a poultry yard, and many forms of
disease are not communicable except
by contact with a raw surface of some
sort. For this reason, aS soon as a
fowl incurs a wound of any kind, it
should at once be properly dressed \ \
with Conkey’s Healing Salve, a \\<
bandage should be wrapped about it
to keep out filth of any kind and the fowl should be sepaatred
from the others and provided with a litter of clean straw. By
taking this precaution the wound will heal immediately; there
will be no ill effects, and you can preserve a bird that under
ether circumstances might not only contract disease, {but
spread it among the flock.

Conkey’s Healing Salve is also of the highest valueTto
human beings, and we strongly recommend it for wounds,
sores, cuts, ulcers, etc. It is a wonderful salve for you, and
for your animals of every description. . Don’t be without xt.

CAPONIZING SETS.

Poultrymen can double their profits by caponizing their
chicks. The operation is very simtcle—the instructions are so
full and explicit that any man, woman or child, after careful
reading, will be able to perform the operation. It is highly
successful from every point of view. The demand for Capons
far exceeds the supply, the price per pound being twice as
much as for ordinary chicks. The object of caponizing is to
largely increase the weight of fowls, causing them, in many
cases to grow as large as turkeys and weighing from 10 to 1o
Ibs., and to make the meat a finer flavor and very juicy and
tender. Complete with instructions, $4.50; im velvet case,
$2.75 postpaid. We send the book ‘‘Complete Guide for
Caponizing”’ with every Set.:

eutting. The cutting plate is adjustable, allowing the operator to

THE PRAIRIE STATE UNITERSAL
HOVER.

As the name of this hover implies, it has a large ar
universal sphere of usefulness. In fact, there is practically
no limit to its adaptability. It may be used or attached
to any form of outdoor brooder that is two feet or more
in height; to any size or form of colony house, mushroom
house, small portable building, dry-goods box, shed, coop
or organ or piano box.

Where regular colony houses are used the Universal
Hover can be attached to one until the chicks have been
given a good start and then removed to another for a new
brood. In this way it can be utilized to accomplish the
work of four or five expensive combination colony brooders,
It has proven to be thoroughly practical in actual service.
giving perfect satisfaction during coldest weather of winter,
changeable conditions of spring and the heat of summer,

Economy is one of its special features, aside from its wide range of adaptability, as will be seen from the fact that only a small
No. 2 Sun Hinge Burner is required to furnish all the heat necessary in the coldest weather. In presenting this hover to the poultry
raiser, we are confident that it will give him more genuine satisfaction than any device ever put out. It fills that want felt
by everyone who raises poultry, for something they can use for this purpose anywhere, any time, and do the work well.

Prices; Hover complete witn lamp, lamp box and smoke pipes, $6.00; with regulator $7.00.

Dear Sirs: I think I ought to tell you how well we like your new Universal Hovers. We now have five of them attached
to our big piano box brooders, and it has been a constant surprise to me to see how thoroughly your Hovers, with a No. 2 lamp,
heat these immense brooders. 4

Last night it was cold and windy; ice formed nearly an inch thick. We made a record of all thermometers at 7:30 p. m.,
10:30 p. m. and 5:30 a.m. At first test, they ranged, as we wanted them, from 85 degrees to 92, varying with the age of the
chicks. The two subsequent tests showed a variation of scarcely a degree in any one of them.

THE PRAIRIE STATE COLONY BROODERS.

The ordinary outdoor brooder will do fairly good work in mild,nice, bright weather, but in the cold, snowy or raw, wet days
of early spring, when it is impossible to let the chicks out for weeks at a time, they are bound to die from the close confinement
and lack of exercise. In the old style brooder, there is not sufficient floor or air space to meet the penned-up conditions, and the
result is heavy loss of lives. ; ‘

The Prairie State Colony Brooder was designed to overcome this serious fault, and it does it successfully. It is of sufficient
size, so that when the weather is bad, the chicks may remain in the brooder weeks at a time without injury to their health or retard-
ing of their development They have plenty of room for excercise and growth. After the chicks have grown to proper size, the
hover and heater may be removed to another colony house if desired, the chicks being left undisturbed until removed to permanent
quarters. Thus the same heater and hover can be used to rear a number of broods during the season.

PRAIRIE STATE COLONY BROODER NO. 1.

This brooder house is constructed of tonqued and grooved
chestnut boards one inch thick. It is 3 feet wide, 6 feet long
3 feet high in front and 2 feet high in rear, 18 sq. feet of floor space
The interior is divided by a moveable partition into two compart-
ments—the nursery room and the sun parlor or exercising room;
the floor throughout being on a level and 6 inches from the ground
There is an opening between the nursery and exercising room
2 feet wide, with a wooden door, hinged to open and close at will,
so when desired the chicks may be confined to either apartment.
With the Wooden door opened, the space is covered with a heavy
felt curtain, slitted to permit easy passage of the chicks back and
forth. Two glass doors furnish light and access to the chicks
confined. A movable door below the glass doors brings each
opening level with the floor and permits easy cleaning of each
apartment. The roof is not hinged to the brooder and is easily
: taken off. This brooder like all other Prairie State Brooders

THE PRAIRIE STATE INDOOR BROODER No. 4

This brooder should be used where it will be protected from the
elements. Not necessarily in a rioderately heated room, but under
cover of some kind. The floor is 3 feet square, and stands 8 inches from
the ground. Surrounding the top of the floor is a frame covered with
wire netting, which confines the chicks, and may be easily detached when
desired. The Universal Hover is used in these types of brooders, which
insures a comfortab'e and warm apartment. This brooder is particularly
well adapted for caring for chicks hatched during late fall and winter,
and furnishes the conditions under which ‘hey will rap‘dly develop and
thus be prepared for the early market to reap the high price paid for
broilers. Price, $7.50. Without wire netting and frame, $7.00. Reg-
ulator attached, $1.00 additional. ;

THE PRAIRIE STATE INDOOR BROODER No. 5

The Prairie State Indoor Brooder No. 5 is the most convement
brooder ever constructed, being easy to clean and operate. Every part
is instantly accessible and removable. The removable upper case used
on this brooder overcomes the most serious objection to indoor brooders,
as with it, it is possible to suit any plan of bui-ding, as the chick exit
door and the lamp door can be fixed to suit any arrangement of doors
or windows. The arrangement of the case with its muslin lid, gives
perfect ventilation without draughts and the hover permits three gradual
changes of temperature before the chick gets outside, preventing chills
and sudden changes and hardening the chicks for out of doors. Price,
$8.50; with reguaator attached $1.00 extra.

HUNKEL’ iS “MILWAUKEE PAR
— LAWN SEED.
AN EXTRA CHOICE MIXTURE.

f heres is nothing that attracts more pieeien “and_favorable comment than a well designed house and artistically treated grounds
and one of the essential features of such grounds is a beautiful lawn. A perfect and enduring lawn of this kind is only created by
sowing a combination of various and suitable grasses. Several varieties are needed so that the lawn will be verdure-clad in all
seasons, an the seed should be sown liberally, not only to produce a lawn quickly, but to prevent the weeds from developing,
_ the seeds of which are in all soils. The coarse pasture ane will never produce a fine lawn. We have made the formation of
lawns a study, and know that if the HUNKEL’S ‘MILWAUKEE PARK” L AWN GRASS SEED is used and instructions are
followed, a perfect and permanent lawn may be established. This lawn grass is composed of a balanced combination of native
and foreign rasses that flourish under varied conditions of soils and climates, growing during different seasons of the year, so that

a beautiful lawn is maintained from snow to snow. No annual grasses are used in this mixture.
