Is to make two ears of corn ^row where only one ^rew before. Land advancing makes this a very necessary
achievement, and your Seed Corn is a mighty important item. At the recent Corn Show held at Chicago, INDIANA CORN

A FEW FACTS ABOUT
GOOD RASPBERRIES
( Photographs Don’t Lie)
EACH year we hear of a new raspberry being* introduced. Some of them
have proven to be successful, but by careful observation and actual experience we find
that our NEW IMPROVED CUMBERLAND (Black Cap) and SCOTT’S COLOSSAL (Red) to be
the most reliable, most prolific and best money makers off them all.
RASPBERRIES are the most delicious and popu-
lar of all small fruits, except possibly, the strawberry.
They are more and more becoming the most profitable
of the bush fruits, and should be grown commercially
for all markets as well as home uses.
WHEN BUYING RASPBERRY PLANTS
you can’t afford to take chances. You can’t afford to
plant anything that you do not know to be right. In
no other business must the buyer lean so strongly upon
the producer as in this business, for you do not know
whether or not your plants will be right until they
come into bearing.
1 absolutely guarantee that all plants sent out by
me to be strictly as represented.
TO WHOM IT MAY
CONCERN:
We can say that we

son and while his line

We know him to be
responsible and relia-
ble, striving to supply
his customers with
high-grade stock, and
believe he will sustain
every statement made
in his pamphlet.
Yours truly,

ducing stock, and if

The secret of growing more vegetables.
The solution of your farm and garden problems.
The new way to grow bigger crops.
THESE are days when the man with a farm or garden is sat-
isfied with only genuine results. What he wants is not high
sounding advice. He wants to grow a bigger, better and earlier
crop and to do it with less work; and the expert who has the most
applause is the one who gets down to brass tacks and shows you
how to produce more vegetables, or hay, or corn, or other grain
from the same spot of ground without breaking your back doing it.

] leaver Dam, Wfs., June 28, 1921.
Dear Sir: —On I he 28th day of May l purchased a smalt, garden
size can of your "Hail Bacteria", and am treating my entire garden

corn are far ahead of the neighbors' gardens.
I am today ordering another can, and. highly recommend our
product to anyone who wants a larger production from their farm
or garden. Yours for success, ERN EST KLA S K.

WRITE FOR DESCRIPTIVE LITERATURE
TT IS UNFORTUNATE that there
| I is so large a market for inferior
J seeds. Bad for the true seedman
and bad for the farmer or gardener who
I buys them. I would not hesitate to say
that the loss of crops each year through
the use ot inferior seeds runs into many
millions of dollars. But it is a condi-
tion that we shall have with us until the
I general public becomes better educated
to the use of pure bred stocks.
To the man who wishes only the
best, and is willing to pay a fair price,
II would say, plant

DASHEEEN
The Coming Ne-w I The Potatoes Only-
Vegetable! I Rival!
I call the Dasheen a new vegetable because it is now to
this country, but in fact it has been grown for years in
China, and is known in the various parts of Europe and
Asia and in some localities in South America. They are
grown principally as a root crop, the tubers being used the
same as Irish potatoes and sometimes reach a weight of
more than six pounds each. Crops of 300 to 900 bushels
per acre have been produced. You will find them one of the
finest vegetables and' most showy ornamental foliage plants.
This year is the time to get started with a few so as to raise
your own seed tubers for next year’s planting. Pamphlet
giving culture directions and recipes for preparing and
cooking free with each order.

E. 11. WILLIAMSON, Goshen, Ind.
Dear Sir: —The raspberry plants I got from yon grew
fine. They are the finest I have ever seen, and I doubt
very much if my patch cun be equaled anywhere in this
country. The sunfiowers grew very large and the squash
just, simply grew all over the earth— every vine full of big
beauties. Will want some Concord grapes, so send cata-
log. Yours truly,

World’s Largest Sunflowers
CUNFLOWERS are a most healthy food for
poultry. You will find it in every high-grade
commercial scratch feed. Planted in their runs
they make the most excellent shade. They have
been found to have considerable value for silage
purposes, and it is not unlikely that fields of
sunflowers may become common throughout
the corn belt. My seed this year has been most
carefully selected and only 6old in packages.
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN

Sunflowers. I have reports from customers
who have grown one bushel find three pecks
from a 10c packet. Price, 10c per pkt.; 3 for 25c,

NEW IMPROVED
CUMBERLAND
RASPBERRY
APPROACHED BY NO OTHER IN EITHER
QUALITY OR COMMERCIAL VALUE
OF THIS berry I cannot say too much in praise.
It is the greatest commercial berry of them all. For can-
ning it has no equal. It will develop a larger crop of fruit
than any known variety and the plants will yield continually for
years.
Plant This Year— Yields Next
My stock is wonderfully productive, producing regularly and
uniformally very large crops. The berry is unusually firm and
is well adapted for long shipments.
Greatest Value Ever Offered for the Money
These two varieties of raspberries are the beginning and end of every good quality in the
raspberry list and should be grown in every garden.

BLACKBERRIES
ELDORADO
A STRONG growing, hardy variety; very productive, fruit very large, jet
black in large clusters and of highest quality. Its keeping quality is un-
surpassed and communds the highest market price, (Price same as raspberries.)
STRAWBERRIES
I HAVE come to the conclusion that for the average farmer and back-yard
grower there is one variety that will fill «he bill, one that is so much super-
ior to all others, one that is self pollenizing and therefore a perfect berry, one
thut is hardy notwithstanding the severe winters, a good grower and plant
maker, very vigorous, a prolific bearer of luxurious fruit, one that Is adapted
to every locality, in fact, one that has so many good points in its favor and
so much superior to other sorts that I have concluded to handle this one kind:
SENATOR DUNLAP
This berry has established greater popularity than any other sort offered.
Grows immense quantities of large, handsome berries that are a rich, dark
red with glossy finish shading to deep scarlet on the under side. Noted for
uniformity in size und shape. The rich, bright red of its meat and delicate
flavor makes It really ideal. Be sure and plant a SENATOR DUNLAP garden
this spring (March, April or May), Don’t let this season slip by without doing
so, but order AT ONCE while you have it in mind and before they are all sold.
