To Our Friends and Customers:
For many years our trade has been increasing
rapidly and the past year faster than ever before,
and there must be a reason for it: In the past
we have endeavored by furnishing dependable
SEEDS, giving prompt attention to orders, and
courteous treatment to our customers, to merit
this, and we assure you that in all of these partic-
ulars there shall be no decline in effort.
We have for years studied where and of whom
to buy our seeds, and believe that to-day we
know who grows QUALITY SEEDS or such as we
furnish our customers, and from them we buy.
In 1909, realizing the necessity of the FRUIT
GROWER protecting his trees from San Jose
Seale, Coddling Moth and kindred pests, we added
Horticultural Supplies and the trade in them has
passed our expectations.
In 1910 we added “BEE KEEPERS’ SUPPLIES”
to our line and we are pleased to say that the
orders were beyond our cxpectations.
In 1911 we added INCUBATORS and BROODERS,
for which we have many calls. We can offer you a
first class incubator at a reasonable price.
Remember that the ADAMS STANDARD is high,
yet we aim to make further progress, and thank-
ing you for your expressions of good-will in the
past, we solicit your continued patronage.

GUARANTEE.
We buy and sell THE BEST SEEDS THAT GROW. But it is impractical to
guarantee seeds, as the best of seeds will fail under improper treatment. Some
may be sown in too dry ground, or too wet, too deep or too shallow. Some hardy
seeds stand cold weather and will grow where the soil is too cold for others and
would cause them to decay. Insects may attack and destroy them. For these
. Feasons we do not give any warranty in any respect.
A pleased customer brings us two new ones.
We thank you for your liberal patronage and kind expressions and _ will
always strive to merit your continued favors.
Wishing you a prosperous year, we remain,
Yours very truly,
T. Lee Adams Seed Co.
We have clerks that speak German, French and Belgian and parties from
these countries will find it pleasant to trade here.

are much more nutritious. . Fed to milch cows, they
largely increase the quantity of milk. Try them

vested, and their value cannot be overestimated.

LONG ISLAND GROWN SELECTED CABBAGE SEED
Cabbage being a gross feeder requires much fertilizer.
Every experienced gardener realizes the necessity of sowing nothing but the finest
Cabbage seed obtainable. There are many growers, however, who, being new to the
business, have never yet had this lesson impressed upon them by painful experience,
and we want to advise them against the risking of such an expensive crop for the
Saving of a half dollar or so per acre in cost of geed. All our cabbage seed is raised
on Long Island. There is much inferior foreign grown seed on the market and it
costs never more than half what the Long Island does, and the crop will be just as
inferior and as cheap as the seed.
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD—The most popu-
lar very early cabbage with market gardeners all
over the country. It is grown in enormous quan-
tities for shipment to Northern markets, Unequaled
for size, solidity, earliness, uniformity and trueness.
Ours is a superior strain of seed. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c;
Y% |b., 75e; 1b., $2.00.

CARROTS
German Mochre oder Gelbe Rueben. French, Carrote.
Crop Very Short.
Culture—The carrot will do well in any good, well-worked soil. For early use, sow
the seed when the apple is in bloom, in rows fifteen inches apart, and when two inches
high thin out so that the plants stand four
inches apart in the row. For fall and winter
use, sow the seed from the ist to 15th of
June. The roots may be stored in cellar or
pit covered with dry sand, where they will
keep fresh and solid, until late in spring.

CAULIFLOWER
FINEST DANISH GROWN STOCK.
Culture—Cauliflower requires much the same treatment as early cabbage. A point
to be remembered is that cauliflower requires cool, moist weather for its development;
it will not head in hot weather. The =
sowing should be made very early in the ENTE;
spring or early summer, so that. the
plants will reach maturity before or after
the hot summer weather. Sow the seed
the previous autumn and _ protect the
young plants through the winter in cold
frames, or sow in hotbeds very early
during January or February. Transplant
into deep, rich, moist, well-worked soil -
as soon as frost ceases, one foot apart in
rows two feet apart. Cultivate very fre-
quently. They should be kept growing
rapidly. When the flower begins to form
draw the leaves over and pin or tie them
together to protect the heads from the sun.

sometimes four. Stalks two feet shorter than the Ever-
green and very close-jointed and sturdy, never blowing

LAMBERT’S PURE CULTURE SPAWN—Mushrooms may
be grown in any place where conditions of temperature and
moisture are favorable. A shed, cellar or cave may be util-
ized to advantage for this purpose. It is essential that the
temperature be maintained from 53 to 60 degrees F., and that
the moisture be properly regulated. Lambert’s Pure Culture
Spawn is far superior to the old style varieties and much
‘better results can be obtained from its use. The bricks
should be broken into pieces about two inches square and
planted from ten inches to a foot apart. With every order of
10 or more bricks of mushroom spawn we send free of charge
complete instructions for mushroom culture. Bricks weigh
from 18 to 24 ounces. A brick will spawn ten square feet
of bed. With Lambert’s Pure Culture Spawn it is impossible

One ounce to 150 feet of drill. 10 to 12 lbs. per acre 10 to 18 inches apart, 1 to 3
inches in the row.
NOTE—Our Radish Seed is French Grown. Very Short Crop.
To be crisp and tender, Radishes must
grow quickly; whenever growth is checked
by drouth or cold weather they become
tough and pithy. Rich, light, sandy soil
- suits them best. For the forcing crop, sow
seeds in hotbeds in rows 5 to 6 inches apart,
ea and thin the plants as the ground becomes
eo} warm. Seed of winter varieties should be
sown in midsummer. Summer varieties are
best adapted for general crop. An ounce of
seed will sow about 75 feet of drill.

GOOD TOMATO SEED.

ket gardeners and others to produce an

SWEET PEAS
Beautiful, Fragrant, Fashionable.
Sowing should be made in _ well-pre-
pared ground as early as it can be worked.
The plants should not, however, be sown
two sucessive seasons on the same
ground. It will be found a most excellent
plan to make a trench about 6 inches deep,
in which plant the seeds, covering at first
to a depth of 2 inches; gradually draw in
he soil as they advance in growth; this will
reatly aid the plants to withstand our hot
ummers. Never allow them to run to seed,
as once in the seed pod they are finished for
the season. The more you cut, the greater
the quantity of blooms they will produce.

CLOVER AND
GRASS SEED
Prices subject to fluctuation. Postage 8c per pound Extra.
Market prices on application.
This is the proper season of the year to sow GRASS SEEDS and
you will find many of the leading grasses much higher than they have
been for years, but do not let this deter you from sowing, as only by
the liberal use of the LEGUMES, can you hold up the fertility of your
land. We ask your special attention to Clover, Alfalfa, Timothy and
Blue Grass, of which you cannot sow too much. Buy early for choice
seed and best prices.
Grass is one of the most important crops produced by the farmer, and
its constant increasing value makes it desirable that only the best seed
be used, but great care must be given to the preparation of the seed bed
or your efforts may result in failure.
Remember that good seed alone will not produce good crops but in ad-
dition you must give your land the proper preparation, sow plenty of seed
and cover lightly with a harrow and your success is almost assured.
We buy only the best seed and have the machinery to thoroughly clean
it, consequently offer only the highest grade, and cater to a class of trade
that will have no other. :
As the price of grass seed varies, if you want a quantity you had better
ask for prices, giving the kinds and quantity wanted, when we will give
you as low a price as the market will afford.
Our stocks of the leading grasses are large, but we would call your
attention to the stocks of Clover, Alfalfa, Timothy and Kentucky Blue
Grass which are to-day the leading meadow and pasture grasses.
The prices named in this catalogueare as low as we dare name at this
time, but in all cases we shall make the prices as low as the conditions
will warrant.
IF IN WANT OF FIELD SEEDS, WRITE FOR PRICES.
SAMPLES ON REQUEST.
If you have any difficulty in securing a stand of Clover or
Alfalfa, try Nitro-Culture; it will pay you.

CLOVER, TIMOTHY, MILLET AND GRASS SEEDS
Owing to the unsettled condition of the Grass Seed market at the time of going to
press we cannot make firm prices on Clover, Timothy and Grass Seeds, but purchasers
will receive as much as the money sent will pay for, but when a quantity is wanted it
is well to ask prices in advance.
Add 8c per pound for postage extra, when ordered by
mail.
RED CLOVER—The most important and best known of
all the Clovers, being used for hay, pasture and enriching
the land and for the latter purpose is considered the cheap-
est fertilizer known.

thin soils. Lb., 30c; 50 lbs., $14.00; 100 lbs., $25.00.
ALFALFA CLOVER—HEvery year adds to the popularity
of this valuable forage crop, and the fact that it will pro-
duce double the forage of red clover in good years and in
drouthy ones is often the salvation of the farmer, makes
it the greatest acquisition of recent years. As a meat-
maker, milk-maker and money-maker it is equally prized,
and as a renovator and improver of soils it has no com- Red Clover.
petitor. Lb., 20c; 50 lbs., $9.00; 100 lbs., $16.00.
ALSIKE—Or Swedish Clover—The heads are globular and
very sweet and fragrant, and much liked by bees, who obtain a
great amount of honey from it. It produces a great amount of
herbage during the season; the stalks being very fine, it makes
a valuable hay crop. It is suited to wet land and will produce
a good crop where other clovers would fail. Sow 4 to 6 pounds
to the acre. Lb., 30c; 50 Ibs., $11.00; 100 Ibs., $19.00.
WHITE—It makes an excellent pasture for cattle and sheep,
and is valuable for lawns. It will grow on almost any soil, but
is best adapted for low moist lands. Should be included in all
mixtures for lawns or permanent pasture. It is also valuable
to prevent soil from washing. Lb., 40c; 10 lbs. $3.50.

to 30 lbs. to the acre for meadow, and from 65 lbs. to 80 lbs.
per acre for lawns. Put on plenty and avoid disappointment
in your lawns. A top dressing of fine manure after sowing and
in the fall and spring will be of great benefit. Fancy, clean
seed. Per lb., 35c; per bu., 14 Ibs., $4.25.
ENGLISH BLUE GRASS—(Meadow Fescue)—A valuable
pasture grass. Its long and tender leaves are much relished
by all kinds of stock. Cured like Timothy, yields a very supe-
rior quality of hay. It is one of the earliest in the spring and
latest in-the fall. Height, 18 to 24 inches. Price per Ib.,
30c; 50 Ibs., $14.00; 100 lbs., $27.00.

TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS—(14 Ibs. per bu.)—This grass
should be given the trial its merit deserves. It is a luxuriant
grower for early and late permanent pasture. For hay it may
be cut twice a year and for green soiling it may be cut four or
five times in favorable seasons. It is very hardy, and withstands

FIELD PEAS
SOUTHERN COW PEAS.
Field Peas are largely grown in the Southern States, both as a hay crop and as a
fertilizer, in which respect they are of great value. The peas may be sown in corn
at the time of last cultivation, or after a crop of early potatoes. They may be sown
broadcast at the rate of one and one half bushels per acre, or they can be planted in
rows about three feet apart with a corn planter. This will require only one-half bushel
of seed per acre. The cow peas, by their rapid, rank growth, keep down weeds and put
soil in good, friable condition for the next year’s crop, increasing the fertility of the soil
to a remarkable extent. The vines furnish an excellent green food for milch cows until
frost, or they may be cut and cured for hay; or a very profitable way to dispose of the
crop is to turn hogs into the field at the time that the first peas are ripening. They
readily eat the foliage and well filled pods, and thrive amazingly. Or the entire crop
may be plowed under as a green manure.
It is too early to make prices on Cow Peas. When a quantity is wanted, ask for
prices.
NEW ERA—An early variety, probably the best sort for the North and West. Can
be sown after wheat is taken off the ground and still produce a good crop of forage or
peas, besides increasing the fertility of the soil for the succeeding crop and leaving
the ground mellow and clean from weeds.
WHIP-POOR-WILL—A favorite in Oklahoma, Texas and the South generally. A
vigorous, healthy grower, yielding abundant crops of forage and grain.
CANADA FIELD PEAS—For dairy cows and hogs they are equal to corn, and six
weeks earlier. They should be sown early in April with oats, using two bushels of
oats and two bushels of the peas per acre. The peas should be sown first and plowed
under to a depth of about four inches, then sow and harrow in the oats. They will be
ready to cut in July. As a fertilizer they come next to clover, and will grow on land
that will not produce clover. Peck, 65c; bu., $2.00, by express or freight.
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER
Unequaled as a Food for Poultry.
Mammoth Russian Sunflower produces vefry
large heads, often twenty inches across, which
are completely filled with the striped grains. It
succeeds everywhere, and requires but little rain
to insure a crop. It makes an enormous yield —&
of seed. It is a good food for stock and cannot be &

MILLETS
(50 lbs. per bu.)
The market on Millet and Cane is uncertain; if quantity is wanted, ask for price.
The several varieties will furnish food for live stock in the form of grain, fodder or
pasture. Especially valuable in seasons when the hay crop is short. ‘They make the best
hay if cut when in blossom and carefully cured.
COMMON—Requires a dry, light, rich soil, and grows 2% to 4 feet high, with a fine
bulk of straw and leaves, and is excellent forage. Choice. Price: 1 1b., 35c; postpaid. By

GERMAN—It is usually given preference, by those who use Millets, over the Common
variety and Hungarian. It is a strong grower and will yield enormous crops of the
finest hay, and should be cut before the seeds harden. Can be sown late after some
early crop, and if sown early will mature in time for the ground to be plowed for wheat,
and it leaves the ground in fine shape for this purpose. For grain, sow in drills not
later than June 20th. Fancy. Price: 1 1b., 20c; postpaid. By freight or express; 1 Ib.,

EARLY AMBER—Farmers and stockmen say that Barly Amber Cane is the most val-
uable fodder plant in existence. Not only is it adapted for feeding purposes, but its great
qualities as a Sorghum producer is one of a paying investment, and has attracted gen-
eral attention everywhere. It is profitably grown anywhere from Manitoba to Mexico, on
any good corn ground, and is but little affected by drouth. By freight or express, 1 Ib.

from the root, but branches from the top joints, pro-
ducing from two to four heads of grain from each
stalk. On very thin and worn lands it yields paying
crops of grain and forage even in dry seasons, in
which corn has utterly failed on the same lands. If
cut down to the ground two or more shoots spring
from the root, and growth is thus maintained

SELECTED GRADED SEED CORN
BUTTED AND TIPPED.
The crop was almost an entire failure this season. While some of our growers
will not be able to furnish any stock, from other localities we will receive from 50
to 75%, which will enable us to take care of our early orders. We will be able to
furnish the following varieties of good quality until our stock is exhausted. Prices
subject to change without notice:
PRIDE OF THE NORTH—90 Days—An
early yellow Dent corn, maturing in this
climate in 90 days. An excellent corn for
stock and is quite prolific, very often yield-
ing two ears to the stalk. Deep, soft grain
and small red cob. Pk., 60c; bu., $1.75.
ECLIPSE CORN—90 Days—This is one
of the earliest and most prolific yellow
corns ever introduced. The ear is a bright
golden color, medium size, cob small, red,
deep grain, and will mature in 90 days. Pk.,
60c; bu., $1.75
IMPROVED LEAMING—90 Days—This is
one of the earliest yellow Dent corns in
cultivation, ripening in from 90 to 100 days
from planting, surpassing the Yellow Can-
ada and Flint varieties in earliness, pro-
ductiveness and quality. The ears are large
and of an orange yellow color and small
red cob; generally producing two good ears
each, and husks and shells very easy. Pk.,
60c;,bu., $1.75.
KANSAS SUNFLOWER CORN—90 Days—This is the largest Early Yellow Corn we
know of, ears averaging one foot in length and about 2 inches in diameter, weighing
one pound and upwards. The ears are uniform in size and shape, and of a fine golden
color. It is early, maturing in ninety days. Stalks grow about eight feet high, are very
leafy and furnish large quantity of fodder. We can recommend it highly to anybody
who wants a large early yellow corn. Pk., 60c; bu., $1.75.
IOWA GOLD MINE—90 Days—Is very early; ripening only a few days later than
Pride of the North; golden yellow; grain very deep; cob small. Will make excellent
early crop, or will mature if planted after wheat is cut or early potatoes dug. Pk.,
60c; bu., $1.75.
GOLDEN BEAUTY—100 Days—This variety is a very large grained and handsome
yellow corn. The ears are of perfect shape, with from ten to fourteen straight rows of
brightest golden yellow with grains of remarkable size, small cob, filled out completely
to the extreme end. The richness of color and fine quality of grain make it very
superior for grinding into meal. Pk., 60c; bu., $1.75.
HILDRETH’S YELLOW DENT.—100 Days—This is a very large growing variety. The
ear is large and well rounded at butt and tip. The kernels are inclined to be small but
are very deep. Indentation, medium rough; color, deep golden yellow. Price, pk., 60c;

from seven to eight inches long ahd two and one-half thick and filled with grain from

ear: color, a bright yellow and one of the most productive field corns in existence.
Every farmer should try it. Price, pk., 60c; bu., $1.75.
CHAMPION WHITE PEARL—An extra
early, pure white variety of the Dent family;
very productive and exceedingly heavy, ma-
turing in 85 to 90 days from the time of
planting. The grain is extra deep and wide,
two of which will more than span the cob,
which is very small. Pk., 60; bu., $1.75.
IOWA SILVER MINE — White — Stalks
grow to a height of about seven or eight
feet and set the ears about three and one-
half or four feet from the ground. Ears

and one-half pounds; uniform in size and
shape, with pure white kernels set on a
small white cob, an¢ are well-filled out over
the tip. It is early, maturing in 95 days.
Seventy pounds of corn in the ear will make
60 pounds shelled. It is hardy, a great
drouth resister, and, summing it all up, the
acme of perfection. Pk., 60c; bu., $1.75.
BOONE COUNTY WHITE—An exceedingly large-eared white corn with small cob
for size of ear. Solid, medium early and extremely productive—best white corn in
existence. Don’t fail to try it. Pk., 60c; bu., $1.75.
HICKORY KING—100 Days—The cob is so small and the grain is so large that when
an ear is broken in half, one grain will cover the entire end of the cob. Nearly all of
the stalks bear two ears and we consider it one of the best white corns grown. It rip-
ens in from 100 to 110 days from time of planting. Price per pk., 75¢; per bu., $2.50.
POPCORN—White Peari—Our common market variety. Lb., 10c,

color white; very prolific. Per lb., 10c.

of one inch. Per Ib., 10c. .

NITRO-CULTURE
NATURE’S GREAT FERTILIZER.
All leguminous crops, such as Alfalfa, the Clovers, Peas,
Beans, Vetch, etc., require the presence of small germs on
their roots in order to make their best growth. These come
in the shape of small nodules which draw free nitrogen
from the air and feed the plant, besides enriching the soil.
What it Will Do—It will enable the seed sown to make a
good stand, and can be used to make a thin stand thicker;
will start a field of sickly alfalfa or clover to growing vig-
orously, makes the inoculated crop big and the following
crops bigger.
Don’t fail to get quick returns from Nitro-Culture by in-
oculating your peas, beans, peanuts or Soy beans.

THE ‘‘FARMER’S’’ CAPONIZING SET
There is no doubt in the minds of up-to-
date poultrymen as to the advantages of
caponizing. The operation is very simple,
and with a “Farmer’s Caponizing Set” any
boy twelve years of age can perform it with
safety and thoroughness. Capons, as any-
one knows, sell on the market, as a rule,
from five to eight cents per pound higher
than any other chickens. The demand for
capons is always good, is steadily growing,
and at this time a better market is assured

THESE “PLANET JR.” TOOLS,
FREIGHT PREPAID TO YOUR RAIL-
ROAD STATION. NO. 1, COMBINED
DRILL SEEDER, WHEEL HOE CULTI-
VATOR AND PLOW. Price, $9.50. A
pair of 5-tooth rakes supplied when
specially ordered. Price 50c.
This has long been the most be enc
combined tool made. As a seed sower
it is the same as No. 2 Drill Seeder, but
smaller. From a drill it is changed to
its other uses by removing two bolts,
when hoes, etc., can be quickly at-
tached. It is an excellent seed sower, a first-class double or single wheel hoe, an excellent
furrower, an admirable wheel cultivator, and a rapid and efficient garden plow. It is a
practical every-day time and labor-saver, and a grand remedy for backache.
NO. 3 HILL AND DRILL SEEDER, Price, $10.50.
This is the same tool as the No. 5
seeder and just as good, except that it
is smaller in size. The hopper holds
three quarts; 15-inch patent steel driv-
ing wheel, with broad face, which
makes the drill run easily, even when
full. ‘the quantity of seed is regulated
by an accurate index, conveniently
placed at the top of the handle, and
carefully graduated for either hill
dropping or drilling. The flow of seed
is started or stopped by a single move-
ment of the forefinger. The roller is
broad and hollow faced, leaving a wide,
smooth track for the wheel hoe. It is
extremely simple, and will not injure
the most delicate seed.
NO. 5 HILL AND DRILL SEEDER,
Price, $13.00.
This Seeder is the same tool as the
No. 3, except that it is larger in size.
NO. 4 COMBINED HILL AND DRILL
SEEDER, SINGLE WHEEL HOE,
CULTIVATOR AND PLOW.
Combines in a single implement a
capital hill-dropping seeder, perfect
drill seeder, single wheel hoe, cultiva-
tor and.a hoe. Holds two quarts and
as a seeder is like the No. 5, sowing in
continuous rows, or dropping in dis-
tances at five different distances.
Thrown out of gear by simply raising
the handles. Index is accurate, simple
and easily set. The drill is detached
and the tool frame substituted by re-
moving but one bolt. It then becomes
a single wheel hoe, garden plow or cul-
tivator. With this one implement the
small farmer can do practically all the
work in his small crop.
A set of these rakes supplied when
specially ordered. Price $1 extra.
Price, complete, $11.00. As a drill,
only $9.00.

No. 12 DOUBLE WHEEL HOE, CULTIVATOR AND PLOW
The number of different kinds of
work done by this one tool is marvel-
ous; and all are done in the most per-
fect manner. The teeth are changed
with the greatest ease and quickness
without taking the nuts from the
standards... The wheels may be set at
four different distances apart; the
frame at three heights. The handles
are adjustable in height to suit man or
boy. For rapid and perfect work the
most money-making tool a farmer can
own. Price, $7.00.
No. 13. This tool is the No. 12, with
pair six inch Scuffle Hoes only, these
being the most useful form of low
priced Cultivator. Price, $4.75.
No. 14 PLANET JR. DISC HOE
This is a new tool and will excellent satisfaction.
There are three oil tempered discs
on each side which may all be used
at once or two on a side as may be
preferred. The Discs are adjustable
for depth and to throw to or from the
row as desired.
The set of prong teeth is con-
structed on entirely new lines, and will
be found invaluable in general culti-
vation.
The tooth next the row is narrow
and runs shallow, the middle tooth
is wider and runs % inch deeper and
= the outside tooth is much wider and
3 oe runs ¥% inch deeper still, so that the
eer eae ae a 0. work is finer next the row to avoid
No. 38—Frame like No. 17; Attachments like injury to the roots of the plants.
No. 14, $7.00. The teeth are also set out of line,
No. 18%4—Frame like 17; Attachments Discos, which makes them work with greater
only $4.75. freedom.
12-TOOTH HARROW
This tool is a general favorite with farmers, market gardeners and others. Has high
frame and chisel shaped teeth that cut an inch wide, each; can be set with teeth
trailing. The foot lever pulverizer is capital for preparing ground for seed drill or
plant setting. Hand levers regulate both width and depth while in motion. It con-
tracts to 12 inches, and may be further reduced in width by taking off outside teeth.
It expands to 32 inches, and cultivates deep without throwing earth on plants, and the
smooth, round throated teeth turn strawberry runners without injuring them.
Price, complete, $9.00. Without pulverizer, $7.40. Without pulverizer or wheel, $6.20.

PLANET JR. No. 8 HORSE HOE
Price, $9.00,
Probably no other cultivating ma-
chine is so widely known as the “Plan-
et Jr.” Combined Horse Hoe and Culti-
vator, for it is in use throughout the
civilized world. It is so strongly built
as to withstand incredible strain, yet
it is light and easy to handle,
The Frame is extra long and extra
high, making a tool that will not clog
easily.
The Stiff Steel Standards are hollow
with round throats; they polish quickly
and free themselves readily from ob-
structions, and they clasp the frame
and strengthen it,
The Depth is under perfect control by a new lever wheel and patent depth regu-
lator, moved instantly in unison by a single lever, making exact work, steading the ma-
chine and relieving the operator.
The Expander is an entirely new patent, superior to all other forms; exceedingly
strong, simple, accurate and positive in all positions.
The Handle and Braces are also new, and the most effective and stiffest combina-
tion known, at once making the tool rigid, yet allowing every adjustment of handles
in height and sidewise.
The Reversible Side Hoes, patented, are an important part of the implement. As
shown in the cut, they act as plows or hillers, but when turned end for end, the tool
hecomes a genuine horse hoe, working so shallow and so close, without injury to the
roots, that an immense amount of hard labor is saved.
Every part is perfected to make the tool acceptable to the intelligent farmer, who
knows the best is always the cheapest.

San Jose Scale Destroyer and Insecticides,
San Jose Seale is attacking orchards in this vicinity and the rapidity with which
it spreads makes it imperative that prompt action be taken if you would save them.
This scale is a sucking insect and is not killed by poison, but by smothering, and the
problem is to find the most effective remedy, not one that merely checks, but one that
destroys. There are two approved remedies, viz.: Soluble Oil and Lime Sulphur, and
are the only known remedies that kill or control it. We handle both, manufactured by
factories of the highest standing, and the only preparation required is to dilute with
water; one gal. of oil to 20 gal. water, and 1 gal. lime sulphur to 10 gal. water. Care
must be taken to cover every part of the tree, for if any scales are left untouched, they
multiply so rapidly that the tree is soon infested again. Prices as follows:
SOLUBLE OIL SCALE DESTROYER—(€t., 35c; % gal., 65c; 1 gal., $1.00; 5 gals.,
$3.75; 10 gals., $7.50; 50 gals., $25.00.
LIME SULPHUR SCALE DESTROYER—1 gal., 50c; 5 gals., $1.85; 10 gals., $3,50;
bbl., 50 gals., $9.50. .
Arsenate of Lead and Paris Green are the best known remedies for leaf eating
insects. Arsenate of Lead does not burn the foliage and adheres to the plant through-
out the season.
ARSENATE OF LEAD—Price, 1 lb., 30c; 5 Ib., $1.00; 10 lbs, $1.60; 100 lbs., $12.00;
300 Ibs., $33.00.
PARIS GREEN—Price, 1 Ib., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.50; Kits, 14, 28 and 56 lbs., 25e per Ib.
TARGET BRAND WEED KILLER—Price, pt., 45c; %4 gal., 65¢e; 1 gal., $1.00; 5

COMB FOUNDATION.
Our Comb Foundation is manufacturec of
pure bceswax, and is indispensable for
the bees as a guide and a base on which to build their comb. If you fasten a Strip oi
comb foundation to the center at top of frame or section box, even though it be
but a half inch in width, the bees will follow it, and build their comb just where it
should be. With foundation you have control over the comb building of the bees.
Medium brood and light brood foundation is to be used in the brood frames, while the
thin and extra-thin is the kind for the section honey boxes.
