es WHO BUY SEEDS.
Where the crowds congregate there must be some attraction. Where the orders go there must
be some inducements offered. Our whole business is planned on the basis of giving our customers all
we can in quantity and quality for their money. Most business houses plan on the opposite basis:
that is, give as little as possible for the money. Examine this catalogue, compare it with any
other you may have at hand and see if it isnot gotten up with your interests in view. :
To our old friends and patrons we return thanks. May they ever prosper as those people do
who plant O.K. Seeds. To the old customers of our house, and the new people who we hope to .
count as customers, we again send greetings.
We don’t devote one-half of our space to telling you how good O.K. SEEDS are. They must be good or we
would not have the business we enjoy. Fact is, there are none better.
— OUR PRICES speak for themselves. They
are based on A No.1 First
Quality Seeds. Nothing else ever enters our
house. You may pay double our prices elsewhere
but we defy you to get better seeds anywhere.
Commission Seeds and odds and ends of seeds
not commissioned, kept in country stores, cost
more than O.K. Seeds and are not to be compared
foramoment As we have quoted everything at
the lowest mark, we reserve the right to advance
prices if conditions require us to do so.
FREE BY MAIL We deliver all our goods
free by mail in 4-lb. lots or
less, also pints and quarts of beans, peas and corn,
Aili hahaa erent at prices quoted, unless stated to the contrary.

Seeds and Man-Weight Tools. we will refill the order or return the money. We
exercise the greatest care to have all seeds pure,
true and reliable. yet so many contingencies arise over which we have no control that we can not warrant the
crop. Ii not accepted on these terms they must be returned at once.
OUR TERMS are cash with order. We will occasionally send goods C. O. D. if enough is remitted to
guarantee charges. It is a useless expense for customers to return money for C.O.D. shipments.
HOW 10 REMIT a Registered Letter. This is one of the best and most convenient ways to remit, and
the sender gets a receipt for the letter as soon as it reaches its destination. Every post-
master must register letters. Money Order, Bank Draft on New York, or Express. Stamps taken
same as money in small amounts—1-cent preferred.
REDUCED FREIGHT Through our efforts the railroad companies have made a lower rate on Seed Corn,
Oats, Wheat, etc., going to farmers. After January 1st, we can ship such seeds from
Indianapolis for just one-half the former rate. This is an item for you to consider in piacing your order.
PRE-PAY STATIONS. If there is no agent at your station, remit extra for the freight.
GIVE FULL ADDRESS every time you write.
WE FILL ALL ORDERS IMMEDIATELY. Hence if you don’t get your seeds in a reasonable time you
better repeat your order and be sure to give the same post-office as first given.
TESTIMONIALS. We could fill this catalogue with reports from pleased customers for O.K. Seeds. We print
below a few from our home gardeners, showing in what esteem they are held here. We do not give complete ad-
dress with testimonials for Corn, Oats and Potatoes, as by this plan we would be selling any surplus they might
have to our loss, and we could not pay our expenses:
J. A. Everitt—Dear Sir—Your seeds are second to none. I make specialties of Louisville Drumhead and Late Flat Dutch
Cabbage. I frequently met with failures before I used your seed ; since using O.K. Seeds never a failure. You can depend on
all my trade in the future. Your seeds are sure to grow, are always true to name, and you certainly deserve the immense
trade you enjoy. PAUL KRAFT, Indianapolis, Ind.
J. A Everitt—Dear Sir—I have used your seeds for several years, and am pleased to say they give me better results than
those obtained from any other house. Their germinating qualities are the best, and they always produce crops true to name,
thus demonstrating in results the great care you exercise in conducting your large and complicated seed business. :
JOHN H. STORZ, Indianapolis, Ind.
J. A. Everitt—Dear Sir—I can not recommend your seeds too highly, for I have used them long enough to know what I am
writing about. Since I used your seeds I have had no trouble to get a stand, and the crops always come as we expect them.
If you can use this letter to induce others to buy seeds of you, you are welcome to do so, as I know they can be depended
upon. HERMAN STEINACKER, Indianapolis, Ind.
J. A. Everitt—Dear Sir—Your seeds have given the utmost satisfaction; quite in contrast with those obtained from some
other houses. Since I used your seeds I have no trouble about getting them to grow, and the products are the finest that go
to this market. JI make specialties of onions, and I can not recommend your onion seed too highly.

DAVIS KIDNEY WAX.
Every Seedsman, every Canner, every Gar-
.dener, in short every person who has tested this
‘bean, concedes that it is a great ways in advance of
any other bean of the kind ever offered. It is ab-
solutely rust-proof, and so productive that a field
yiewed from a distance shows more yellow from the
“pods than green from the leaves. » The plants are a'com-
plete mass of pods; yet they hold up well from the
ground. Pods are always full of large, plump, white
beans; never a blank. Pods are larger and hand-
somer, flayor finer and yield greater than any other
Kidney Wax Beans in cultivation. Early as Golden
Wax. For canners this bean fills a long felt want.
lis pearl white beans, combined with cther qualities
mentioned, makes it entirely without a peer. Ina
test of all the principal wax beans, Davis Kidney

POLE BEAN.
The Earliest Pole Bean in Existence.
Can be grown as far North as Bush
Beans. Introduced in 1896.
It is with no small degree of satisfaction that
we.offer this new bean to our customers. Each
seedsman aspires to be the first in offering new
things, and the great competition to secure re- |
ally valuable vegetables oftentimes runs the |}
price up to high altitudes. We never let price LZ
prevent us from securing a really good article, }f
and we paid for the stock of this bean, about 2
bushels, $75. Our experience with it the season
- just past proves that our investment was a wise
one.: ;
We have several splendid varieties of green
pod pole beans, but none of them approach Ey-
eritt’s Alpha in earliness by more than two
weeks, This bean isso early<that it can be
grown in the far north, wherever bush beans
succeed, while for any section they are unsur-
passed in productiveness by any pole bean,
whether grown on polesor with corn. The yines
produce nearly all pods and very few leaves.
On this account they may be planted close to-
gether, about 2x3 feet. Also are better suited to
grow in corn, not pulling the stalks down like
the beans withheavy foliage. The.vines keep in
bearing along time. Quality isin all respects
equal to the well known Kentucky wonder.
The color of the seed is bright yellow, which is
different from any other pole bean, thus pro-
claiming them a distinct sort. They have never
been known to rust or blight. Pods long, round,
thick, stringless.
*. The beans that are enjoyed the most are usu-
ally the ones that come first. Thisis the bean
to grow. Also,the bean that brings the most
money is the earliest. Here we have it again.
Is As soon as the merits of this bean are
known it will be grown as generally as
the now famous Kentucky Wonder.

There is no handsomer or more solid Cabbage

beautiful. The large, curly leaves which cover the out-

slight reddish tinge at the edges; they have small indents,
which are constantly filled with dewdrops. They are thus
kept fresh, and show aremarkably crystalline appearance,

What the Newspapers Say About
Everitt’s Man-Weight
Farm and Garden Tools.
The AGRICULTURAL EPITOMIST, Indian-
apolis, Ind.: ‘The workis made light, easy
and pleasant. Ordinary work is done with
no more exertion than to walk over the
ground. Noperson can realize withouta
trial what effective work they can do with
this machine mounted on high wheels.
This innovation is bound to revolutionize
hand cultivation and will effectually shut
out of the market all the hand push ma-
chines.”
AMERICAN TRIBUNE, Indianapolis: ‘It
goes between the rows and around each
plant; it searches out the weeds, loosens
and pulyerizes the earth. One can scarcely
believe, without seeing it tried, how much
@ man or boy can do without working hard
with one of these machines. Mr. J. A. Ey-
eritt isa public benefactor in every sense
of the word, ‘and the farmers and gardeners
owe hima debt that they cannot readily
repay.” ;
AMERICAN IMPLEMENT HERALD, Indian-
apolis: ‘* Among new implements recently
introduced none has attracted more wide-
spread attention than Everitt’s Man-
Weight Farm and Garden Tools.
This useful invention is a decided departure
in the line of man-power implements such
as are in general use among gardeners,
truckers and farmers.”*
AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST, New York:
“The Man-WVeizght implements will prove
a great boon to all cultivators of the soil, as
it accomplishes its work in the most perfect
manner, and does so with the least possible
outlay of strength on the part of the
worker.” ;
PRAIRIE FARMER, Chicago: “ It will be
welcome news toall who cultivate the soil
with the hand push machines, to hear that
their time of deliverance has arrived, and
that with Everitt’s Man-Weight Cul-
tivators allthis work and much that has
not been attempted with the push machines
can be done almost without work.”
FARM, FIELD AND STOCKMAN, Chicago:
“With the Man-Weight machine culti-
-vating and hoeing can be done at one oper-
ation much betterand quicker than with
horse power and hand hoeing.”

But this will not occur this year, as there is not

. It is fortunate that we are able to place before
our readers the testimony of other well known
people, who also place & high estimate on this
new potato, thus carrying conviction by the
multitude of evidence. | SB st
5: xe se a
We quote from T. B. Terry, a great farmer of
Ohio, as follows:
BLOOD WILL TELL.
Yes, blood will tell, no matter whether it is in stock
or seed. Last spring Mr. sent me two small
tubers of a new early potato to test. They weighed less
than half a pound, the two together. There was noth-
ing in their appearance to indicate that.they were better
than any ordinary potatoes one could pick upin any
farmer’s cellar. IThaveagood many potatoes sent me
to test in this way, and often find that they are no bet-
ter than old varieties. We had a number on trial this
year. To make the trial-more complete, I got two tu-
bers of adout the same size from an old farmer’s stock,
and planted them by the side of the others. He said
they were Early Rose. I can’t say about this, but they
are an early kind that he has grown a long time with-
out any change of seed. All these potatoes were cut to
“one eye, and planted precisely as the rest of our field
crop was planted. They were put right in the field, and
not on selected ground, but on average. No manuring
or fertilizing whatever was done on the land where
.they grew. Nor did they have any extra tillage. We
dropped these pieces in drills made the same as allover
the field, and then treated all the field alike till dig-
ging-time. I took a fork and threw out the hills planted
with the new early potato and I never was so surprised
in all my life at any results obtained in potato culture.
In every hill there were great, large, beautiful potatoes, |
such asI have never seen since the first year the old
Early Rose came around. There were practically no
small ones, or-medium sized ones—just enormous ones,
such as you might perhaps look for under very favor-
able conditions in a wet season. Now, I am not exag-
gerating a bit. The first year Igrew the Early Rose there
were a good many tubers as fine and large as these. I
have never seen any early potatoes on my farm since, as
fine, until I. dug these. There were 45 pounds. They re-
_jsemble the Rose in shape, color, and quality very

much. They are quite early, and were ripe entirely be-
fore the rains came, so this great growth was made with
little chance. The tops were not large.
The two tubers obtained from a farmer’s cellar gave
me 15 ]bs. of rather small potatoes. There were hardly
any that you could call medium, and many small ones.
The two lots were each given about three hills less than
half asquare rod to growin. The yield per acre of the
new potato was over 24€ -ushels. The yield of the oth-
ers a little over 80.. Here wasa difference of 16 bushels
per acre, due entirely and only to blood. In other
words, the vigor and vitality of the new seedling ena-
bled it, under precisely the same conditions, to grow
three times as many bushels. Now don’t think thisis
an advertisement of the potato. When I planted the
tnbers I thought in all probability I should never have
any occasion to Mentionit. But there isa great lesson
taught by this little experiment.
ers are using seed that hasso run out that thereis no
profit in raising thecrop. I would not berash. lam
pretty careful myself. But you will make a mistakeif
you don’t change seed occasionally and get the benefit
of new blood. In the line of new potatoes we are con-
stantly testing, and quick to change when it will pay.
We raised the Early Rose largely for years; but careful *
tests made us change to Early Beauty of Hebron, Snow-
flake, Monroe Seedling, etc., as these newer varieties
came out. Do you know the night after I dug those 45
pounds of new potatoes I hardly slept at all? My po-
tato blood was so stirred up I couldn’t cool down.
T. B. TERRY.
Also, from A. I. Root, the well known Publisher and
Bee-keeper, of wide reputation, who saw the above re-
port, we have the following remarks:
The above little story so stirred up my ‘‘ potato
blood” that I’conld hardly wait till the next morning.
Do youknow why? Beeause I determined to make Terry
a Visit on purpose to see that 45 lbs. of potatoes. Fur-
thermore. I decidedit was the potato I wanted for some
experiments I am getting ready for in the way of grow-
ing early potatoes under glass. A ride of 20 miles on
the steam cars and 8 miles on a bicycle brought me to
Terry’s, and lsaw that new early potato. They were
down in a'dark cellar, ina bushel basket, with a big
tub turned over them so as to be sure nobody got those
I wanted one
of those potatoes very badly. I would have given adol-
lar for just a little one; but I knew beforehand that
friend Terry would neither sell nor give away even the
smallest potato. They had not tried any of them for
eating, for they are too valuable. Idonot know what
some of them might ‘weigh, but considerably over a
pound, I should judge! - And this great yield was with-
out any particular show of tops.
I was satisfied with my visit, and started back on my
wheel with more enthusiasm than whenIcame. By
retty hard riding I managed to reach the power-house
Just as the conductor was ealling out “all aboard.”
Perhaps you do not realize how much of a find this
new potato is. It is very early—perhaps as early as any-
thing we have. None of our other exceedingly early
potatoes are good yielders.* This is a tremendous yielder,
and the tops are small, soit will be just the thing te
grow for early potatoes under glass or in beds cov-
ered with cotton sheeting.
Take it altogether, I believe that, with all its other good
qualities—earliness and wonderful productiveness—tt is the
crowning triumph of to-day in potato gene. = es

PRICE
A small quantity procured now will soon give you all the seed you want and some to sell before
the price goes down. One lb. of seed will yield.3 to 5 bushels, with ordinary care, or 20 TO 30
BUSHELS, if you give them extra care and follow instructions we will send to every purchaser.
You may say this is impossible, but we assure you it is not. We will explain the method and you
will then see it issimple enough. This knowledge itself is worth many dollars to every potato

will be worth $2.00 to $5.00 per bu. for your own seed or to sell for seed. .

I delayed writing until I had thoroughly tested the Man-Weight

any ofthe old style hand push machines
I have ever used, besides it is muehk
lighter and easier to manage. It pul-
verizes the soil better than any other

It does away with horse cultivation tn
many cases, thereby saving plants from
destruction. Ithink much of the movable
drag bars, allowing you te adjust the ma-
chine to wide or narrow rows. I think
the principle on which the machines are
constructed sound, practical and hard te
beat. Onin Bzavenr, Albany Ce., N. Y.
Ihave tried the Man-Weight Cultiva-

“J, Mammoth White French Artichoke.
THE GREAFEST FOOD*FOR:HOGS.
_ YIELDS 600 TO 1,000 BUSHELS PER ACRE.
HE wonderful productiveness and ease with which these Artichokes can be
preduced is always a surprise to those who cultivate them for the first time.
They are an excellent food for cattle, sheep and horses, and the cheapest and healthi-
. est hog food raised; one acre being equal to five acres of corn for building up large
“S88 healthy frames with plenty of bones and muscle. They not only grow rapidly, but fatten
on them, only requiring corn for a short time in the finishing process. The hogs harvest
them themselves, thus saving all expense, even that of feeding. Freezing and thawing
does not injure them, and the hogs will feed themselves from October ist, in this lati-
~ tude, until the late spring, when grass has come, except when the ground is frozen
™ solid. Also they are a certain preventative of diseases. We have never
known hogs fed on Artichokes te die with cholera, while herds around them
Gied by the score. No farmer can do better than plant a piece of ground to Arti-
» chokes without delay. On good corn land they produce 600 to 1,000 bushels per acre,
a and do not fail in dry seasons. The tops, which are produced in immense quantity,
make excellent food for horses, cattle, sheep and mules when properly
gas a destroy them, plow under when they have attained a foot
in height.
These are much easier destroyed than the wild variety.
) They should be planted early in the spring, cut small like potatoes,
ZA Plant 18 ins. apart in rows 3 ft. apart. The next spring break up the
ground. The plants will appear alloverthe surface. Run through both
ways and leave plants stand in hills like corn. Three bushels will plant
an acre.

Lazy Wives—No good wife would like to be called
a ‘‘lazy wife,’’? yet she will be excused for exhibiting a
lazy spell when “‘ bean picking”’ time comes, if she has
the foresight to plant this variety. They are called lazy
wives because they hang so full and the pods are so
long and broad that a mess is soon picked. The pods
are green, wonderfully broad, thick, fleshy and
entirely stringless, retaining all their good qualities
until nearly ripe. The peculiar taste and agreeable

Early French Forcing—The earliest variety, largely
grown for forcing purposes; globe shaped root of an
orange red color.
Early Searlet Horn—Best for early planting out of
doors. Tops small, coarsely divided; roots top shaped,
surface dented, skin orange red.
Ox-Heart—This new carrot comes from France. It
is intermediate in length between the half-long vari-
eties and the Short Horn, but much thicker than the latter,
attaining at the top 3 or 4 incltes in diameter. Itis of fine
quality for table use, and deserves general cultiva-
tion.
Half-Long Scarlet Nantes—Tops medium; roots
cylindrical, smooth, bright orange; flesh orange, be-|
coming yellow in center, but with no distinct core; of
the finest quality. This variety is extensively used in
France for culinary purposes, and only needs to be

ed carrotis one of the most productive varieties
known, has an extra large shoulder, is easily dug, and
isin every way desirable. It is very smooth, fine in

variety for ali soils. It will yield the greatest bulk
with smallest length of roots of any variety, 20 to 30
tons being no unusual crop per acre.
Red Saint Valiery—A large, beautifui Carrot, of
a rich, deep orange red color. The roots grow very
straight and smooth, from ten to twelve inches long.
Very fine quality for table use, and very productive.

Farmers and Gardeners have so often been disappointed in Seeds, Potatoes and Grain from
which they expected great things, and with good reason, that they hesitate to invest in any-
thing new, and often allow arealiy valuable article to pass. A well-established house can not
afford to trifle with their customers inthis way. Before we offer a new article we go to the trou-
ble to ascertain that it is strictly O. K., and we point with pride to the many choice varieties
of vegetables, grain, potatoes, etc., of our introduction that are now in general cultivation.

Hoosier King—This magnificent melon was produced in In-

years he has been growing them on his farm and shipping them to
the Indiananolis market, much to his own profit and to the annoy-
ance of other shippers, as his melons were sought after by retailers
and consumers in preference to any others. Read what Mr. Rees
has to say about the Hoesier Ming:
““The Hoosier King is the finest, largest and best quality
melon that comes into this market. They arrive in bet-
fer condition, are uniformly larger size, and sell for
more money than any other variety; besides the consumer
who once tries them will have no other.” R. H. REES,
Commission Merchant, Indianapolis, Ind.
The skin is beautifully striped, being two shades of green,
light and dark, seeds black, flesh brilliant red, solid, rich, sweet
and Juscious; skin thin and tough. They will stand very rough

Giant Climbing TOMATO
Woe ES eS <P 2 Gert progress has been made in late years in the
os ys improvement of the tomato. Quite in contrast
with the small ill-shaped, sour specimens of a
few years ago are the large, smooth, sweet fruits
So easily raised now. Great rivalry exists in
localities as to who can raise the earliest or the
largest tomatoes. We offer in the GIANT
CLIMBING TOMATO the greatest novelty
in this line, and whoever raises it, according
to directions printed on each package, will
have an attraction that will draw all eyes
toward their garden.
This is not a tree tomato. The term “ tree,’”’
frequently applied to tomatoes, is generally in-
tended to mislead. We do not call grapes ‘“Tree
a : y Grapes”? because they will climb up a trellis,
=: SS VAS, The GIANT CLIMBING TOMATO needs a
\ " support to climb upon, when they will grow 10
2 to 15 fit. high, bearing fruit all along the vine
* from the ground up. The tomatoes grow to
s weigh from 2 to 4 lbs. each, and in size 10 to 16
ins. in circumference. Nearly all the tomatoes
are smooth and regular in shape; color glossy
red; sound to the core, with very few seeds.
‘, The flavor is allthat can be desired. They are
& ever-bearing, only cut off by frost. These to-
matoes can be grown on the garden fence, on
the sunny side of a house or out-building, or
in any position where a support is provided.
The more public the situation the more will
they be admired.
We print a few reports. Many more could
be given, if space permitted:
“Vour Giant Climbing Tomatoes areimmense. I
have them weighing 2% ibs., and the people see that
they are wonderful. GEO. R. BooTH, Ludlow, Mass.”
“One plant of Giant Tomatoes grew over 8 ft. high.
The best cluster was 7 tomatoes weighing 6 lbs. all ripe at
one time. Wm. YEATES, Titusville, Pa.”’
“The Giant Climbing Tomatoes are wonderful in size
and fine quality. One fruit weighed 3 lbs. 1 oz.
C. H. Cox, Bascobel, Pa.”
“The Giant Tomatoes averaged a yield of nearly a
bushel to each plant. One vine grew 14 feet high.
H. D. Muss=R, Rohrestown, Pa.”
“It is a pleasure te see your Giant Climbing To-
matoes grow, and any person can well be proud of
them. They are mammoth in size and wonderful in
tall growth. I have some specimens measuring 16 ins.
in circumference and over 6 ins. in diameter. Fine
flavor and better than I thought it could be. You can
not recommend them too highly. . ;

Big=sf THE BEAUTIFUL FRAGRANT
Dre CINNATION VINE.
: _ _A beautiful and rapid climber, possessing the
rare quality of emitting from its flowers the delightful odor of
cinnamon, and very appropriately called the ‘‘ Cinnamon Vine.’’ The e
plants are grown from bulbs or roots, and are very nice for window
ornaments or out-door culture. They are perfectly hardy, the stem
dying downevery autumn, but growing again in the spring so rapidly
as to completely cover any trellis or arbor very early in the season.
The vines often run 25 feet or more, and when trained over and about
a door or window make an ornament much admired, while its
many clusters of delicate white flowers send out an amount of
fragrance that is truly wonderful. Itiseasytocultivate; has no
insect enemies, and is not affected by drought, because it roots
so deeply. The tubers increase in size from year to year; are
often two feet long at two or three years of age, and run straight &
down in deep soil. Flesh whiter than superfine flour and
equally as good for table use as the very best potatoes.
We have sold these bulbs for several years, and the
plant has ever increased in popularity.
Look at any other Catalegue you have and you
will see the usual price for these bulbs is $1.00
per dozen. WE SELL THEM AT &% DOZ. 29c, 1
DOZ. 30c, 2 DOZ. 50c, 5 DOZ. $1.60.
APIOS TUBEROSA. Tuberous Rooted Wistaria.
A native climber and one of the most beautiful in cultiva-
tion. A profuse bloomer, bearing lovely clusters of rich, deep
purple flowers with a delicious violet fragrance. Itis a won-
derfully robust grower, attaining a great height, its vine and
dense foliage resembling the common Wistaria. The bulbs
are perfectly hardy, needing no protection whatever, and last
forever when once started; they are excellent for food when
cooked, being equal to a potato. 10e each, 3 for 2ée,
woe per dozen.
NEW YELLOW DOLICHOS.
This luxuriantly flowering vine is a most welcome addition
to the list of annual climbers, and as a late, beautiful and pro-
lific bloomer should have a place in every flower garden, or
wherever bare walls or unsightly objects are to be hidden
from the eye.
It biooms later in the season than other varieties, being at
its best when earlier climbers are brown and dead.
Erect racemes of bright yellow blooms, similar in shape to
half-opened pea blossoms, form at every joint, and the leaves
and stems are covered with downy, grayish hairs, producing
a@ most novel effect. The outer surface of the petalsis rich
brown, interior space or standards soft, glowing canary yel-
low. The blossoms are succeeded by slender, rounded pods,
which lend additional beauty to the vines, and are far more
effective than the broad, coarse pods found in other varieties. -
The denser foliage of this new Doliches stands
out im striking contrast to others, covering the
Poles with a heavy mass Of vines when most
other warieties were half way up the poles.

PASTURE, HAY, FERTILIZER AND SILAGE ARE WHAT FARMERS NEED, AND THESE CROPS
ARE OF UNTOLD VALUE. THEY ARE EXACTLY AS RECOMMENDED. ;
With low prices of the regular farm crops and the land gradually running down in fertility, it
behooves every farmer to cast around for crops that will bring more money or allow him to con- vg
duct his farm operations more economically. On this page and the next we offer some articles of __
great merit. They are not untried, untested novelties like sacaline, that a number of seedsmen im-
posed on their customers last season. We can conscientiously recommend each of these crops to
be as stated below.

duce the finest feed imaginable and at the same time improve in fertility. It can be sown from May to Septem-
ber in this latitude. It can follow any other crop and furnishes most nutritious pasture, when oftentime cattle
are roaming the fields in search of a scanty living. Itis particularly valuable for sheep, being twice as nutri-
tious as red clover. In fact, sheep soon ‘‘ weigh like lead’’ when pastured on it. It is hardy in winter, resists
severe droughts; in fact, of untold value, and its cultivation is just beginning. Sow 5 lbs. per acre broadcast;
3 lbs. per acre if drilled. By mail, pkt. 10c, lb. 30c, 4 lbs. $1. By frt. or ex., per lb. 12c, 100 Ibs. $10.00.
FIELD PE AS A crop of the greatest value for forage and hay. Not much grown yet, but will play a
leading part in the farming of the future. Sown at same time as oats they quickly make —
an early green or dry feed. Cut for hay beiore the peas mature.
CANADA FIELD—Makes a great amount of feed relished by all kinds of stock. Sow 1 to 1% bu. per acre. on

THE WONDERFUL PEA —Truly a wonderful and most valuable variety in its great productiveness of vine
and peas. Its value as a stock feed can not be over estimated. Grown with the greatest of ease on any kind of
soil, yet an acre of them is worth much more than an acre of corn for fattening hogs, besides enriching the soil
more than a heavy crop of clover. They grow much larger and quicer than any other kind of peas. For hay
they yield immensely and produce the crop in about_100 days from sowing. They can be sown from April to
July. Of course the late sowing will not mature seed, but will abundantly repay the trouble in an enormous
crop of vines. They are also a good pea for table use. Sow 44 to % bu. peracre. By mail, pkt. 10¢, pt. 25c,

This wonderful plant we believe
LATHYRUS SYLVESTRIS or FLAT PEA to be one of the snot valuable ad-
ditions to the fodder and fertilizer plants introduced in recent years, which will grow and thrive in poor sandy
soils and drought-stricken districts, which but a few years ago were considered barren wastes. Analyses, of
which a number have been made, show the hay to be exceedingly nutritious, containing nearly double the flesh-
forming ingredients in clover hay, richer than the balanced rations generally used for fattening cattle, and rich
enough to fatten either hogs or sheep without the addition of grain. Being thoroughly permanent, when once
established it will last 50 YEARS, and yield enormous crops of hay. 4 tons per acre have been cut in the United
States at one mowing and may be mowed 2 or 3 times in a summer. Sow in drills 244 ft. apart by 4 to 6 in. apart and 3
in. deep. The seed is slow to germinate and plants grow slowly the first season, hence must be carefully culti-
vated and weeds kept down. By sowing a few turnip seed to mark the row, weeding can be done to beiter ad-
vantage. Roots go 10 feet into thesoil. By mail, pkt. 10c, oz. 26c, 14 lb. 50c, lb. $1.75.
VETCHE —VICIA VILLOSA—The Hairy Veitch. This is the most valuable of all the Vetches, It
succeeds on all soils and does not suffer from extremes of drought, heat or cold. Sown in
spring it quickly produces a most luxuriant crop. Sown in August or September it covers the ground with a
ense mat of foliage, which affords pasture all winter when not covered with snow, and early pasture in the
spring or agrand crop to turn under. They can be fed green, made into hay or ensilage. Where grass or clover
has failed or land is too expensive to grow the ordinary crops of hay, it will pay to grow vetches. Sow 40 to 50
lbs. per acre. Bu. weighs 60 lbs. By mail, pkt. 10c, pt. 25c, qt. 40c. By frt. or ex., 14 bu. $1.25, bu. $4.50.
SOJA BEAN or COFFEE BERRY The plant grows erect, 414 ft. high, with numerous branches covered
with heavy foliage. The branches and stem are thickly set with
clusters of pods, 2 beans in apod. The growth is very vigorous throughout the season. This seed has been sold under the
name German Coffee Berry at extravagant prices. When roasted, ground and used as coffee it resembles the genuine ar-
ticle quite clesely. When mixed half with coffee it is claimed by some to make a better drink than pure coffee. Its value
to farmers is the ground beans, which make a very rich feed for milch cattle and also good for other stock; also valuable as
a fertilizer. Sow }4 bu. per acre broadcast or in drills 3 ft. apart; 12in. between plants. By mail, pkt. 10e, pt. 20e,
qt. 35e. By freight or express, 4 bu. 85e, bu. $3.00. i
A grass of enormous yalue, particularly for the dry sections of the West and South. It
BROMUS INERIMIUS endures extremes of temperature and resists protracted drought, succeeding where Alfalfa
fails. Poor lands are no discouragement. It grows best in light, sandy loam, but its roots will penetrate the stiffest clays.
It is equally good for cutting green, pasturing or cutting into hay, and the dense tough sod it forms is most valuable for
holding the banks of ditches and strengthening the turf of sandy soil. Dr. Sewell, of the U. S. Grass Experiment Station,
Garden City, Kas., says it is equal to Timothy for cattle and horses, and makes as fine a pasture as Blue Grass. From the
same station comes the report that this grass is positively the_best out of over 600 kinds tested. In our country it
has done equally well in Canada, Mississippi, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and California. Use 25 lbs. to the acre. It may
be sown in the fall with winter wheat, or in the spring. Cut when first coming into bloom. By mail, pkt. 10e, Ib. 40c.
By freight, bu. of 14 Ibs. $3.40.
TEOS!I NTE {(Rean2 Luxurians). This gigantic fodder plant from Central America somewhat resembles Indian Corn.
It produces a great number of shoots, growing 12 ft. high, thickly covered with leaves, and yielding an
abundance of forage. As asoiling or fodder plant in the South and South-West it surpasses either corn or sorghum, and in
the extreme South is a perennial; suited also for growing in the middle latitude. When cut off will grow up again, and
stools wonderfully. The leaves are long and broad and the stalks full of sweet sap. Plant same time ascorn. 3 lbs. will
plant an acre. Sow in drills 34 to4ft. apart. By mail, pkt. lOc, oz. 20c, Ib. $1.59.
—Wellow. This is the earliest Milo Maize; of vigorous growth, and yields more grain. It makes
MILO MAIZE an enormous quantity of fodder; yielding three cuttings a year from one sowing, ais relished by all
kinds of stock. Is valuable for ensilage. Sow in spring at the rate of 6 lbs. per acre, in drills 3ft. apart. By mail, pkt.
10c, lb. 25e, 4 lbs. 75e, bu. $2.50.
This novelty among the non-saccharine sorghums is a cross between Milo Maize and Jeru-
BLACK RICE CORN salem Corn, and combines the good points of the two. From the Jerusalem Corn it has
the large yield of grain, and from the Milo Maize the best yield of fodder. It produces the most fodder and yields the most
grain of all the different kinds of non-saccharine sorghum now being grown in the Western States. It grows 5 to 6ift. high,
has a stocky stem with many side leaves. Some heads grow on a goose-neck stem and weigh from 4 to 1 Ib. each. Seed is
white, with black chaff. It will withstand drought as well as any of the other nou-succharine sorghums, and does not shell
out as easily in the field as the others do. The yield of seed and fodder will fully equal corn under favorable conditions and
will make a crop when corn fails. It is superior to Kaffir Corn for all purposes for which that plant and grain are used, and
withstands drought equal to it. By mail, pkt. 10c, lb. 25e, 4 lbs. Vic. By freight or express, per Ib. 10c.

‘UEFICIENT attention is not given to farmseeds by the majority of farmers, and by most seedsmen this de-
) partment is made of secondary importance. This is not asitshould be. These are the crops in which the
(farmer is most interested. They are money-crops. Success or failure depends on them, hence how important
, that those varieties be selected that are the most reliable and give the greatest results. As an observing man
gasses through a farming community, those farmers can be pointed out who are enterprising, wide-awake and
“progressive. The surroundings are a fair index of the farmer. The experimenting farmer is the most pros-
sperous of all. He recognizes that varieties of grain and vegetables are running out (dying) and that new ones
taust take their place. He procures seed of all the promising kinds, tests them and sclects the best to grow.
| A Thus he always has the best, and all farmers who understand their business know that

EVERITT’S JIUORTEAGE-LAFTER CORN.
Reliability is stamped upon every feature of thiscorn. It is a corn that has
not failed to produce a paying crop in the worst corn year we have seenin
Indiana in the past six years, and in favorable seasons yields 80 to 120 bush-
els per acre of the finest yellow corn that ever grew inside of corn
husks. We know this corn will please. We will guarantee a rich harvest of
the most superior corn that grows, if Mortgage-Lifter is planted. It is early
and will mature in northern Ohio, Indiana, Dlinois, ete. The grain is very
deep, compact, and heavy, ears medium to largesize; smallcob. 70 lbs. of dry
corn on the ear, as our seed ears averaged, shelled 62 lbs. of corn, leaving only
8 lbs. of cob. We want every corn grower to plant some of the Boree Wiles
Corn, If you plant a field of it your profit will be big. If you don’t plant
much, plant a small lot, a peck, or pound, or ear. We are anxious to have
every person who raises corn made acquainted with its merits without delay.

The Mortgage-Lifter Corn we introduced first in 1893. Our sales have been
large and results beyond the reasonable expectation of parties planting it. In
many cases this was the only variety of corn that made a reasonable yield in
the late dry seasons we have had. We regret exceedingly that we have not
space to print many of the reports received. Below are samples:

is The Deepest Grained and [ost Productive White Dent Corn.
-FORSYTH’S FAVORITE.
corn was originated in Johnson Co., Ind., in that section known as the Garden Spot of this great Corn
_ State, and in the few years since its distinct characteristics have been brought out it has made both a lecal
and national reputation. It is conceded to be the largest eared and deepest grained early white corn ever seen
in this market. All who see it proclaim it a king in the great corn family.
In describing this corn we must speak of the size of the ears as mammoth, being 8 to 15 inches long, with
grains averaging about half inch long, and sometimes contain grains % inch in length. The number of rows ona
cob range from l6 to 24; ears COE 1,500 to 2,000 grains are quite common. Grains pure white, cob white
and usually hollow at butt end, which allows the ear to dry out quickly, and enables the grower to crib his corn
before smaller varieties are fit. We recommend it for this latitude and all pos South, and it can be grown 100
miles North by selecting ground that will admit of early planting. The folowing well-known farmers of John-
son County attest to the grand properties of this corn, and say it can be cribbed ahead of any of their common
field corn, and also that it yields enormously: M. V. Kindle, D. M. Forsyth, W. S. Core, J. S. Mountz, J. T.
Walker, A. V. Pendleton, Geo. H. Pendleton, Edward Alexander, etc., etc.
As we were writing this page of our catalogue, our grower, Dr. Forsyth, came in with 12
ears of this famous corn weighing 20 pounds. This corn was shown to many people, includ-
ing the members of the Marion County Horticultural Society, which is in session to-day, and
they are unanimous in saying that they never saw such great corn before.
We have sold this corn four seasons, with the most gratifying results. It has be-
come a great favorite. Our crop this year is exceptionally fine, and bound to please
the most exacting. ;
We pave space for only a few reports; could. fill half this catalogue, if space per-
mitted:
I am very much pleased with the Forsyth Favorite Corn. It is the largest corn I ever growed,
Wand withal, is as early as my smaller eared varieties. It is a great money-making corn.
ABRAHAM DOWNLY, Lancaster Co., Pa.
As is usual with your seeds, I found the Forsyth Favorite Corn sustained the high recommendatjon
you gave it. Iam sure my trial plot yielded 150 bushels per acre of the finest corn I ever saw.

the finest I ever raised in my farming experience of 12 years, and I have planted nearly.

These are the most reliable varieties of

CALGARRY GRAY OATS.
HIS extremely early, extra heavy, very productive Rust-Proof

ish gray oats; a decided new strain of this important cereal. They
are very beautiful in growth and grain. — s

sirable qualities as weight of grain, earliness, rust-proof, great
strength of straw and feeding qualities.
know that in feeding whole grain much depends upon the nature
of the hull or chaff. A rough, gritty chaff acts upon the
stomach of a horse so as to expel much of the
grain undigested. The hull of ;

he Calgarry will feel soft and velvety, while the other
will feel harsh and woody. Again, grasp a handful
tightly, withdraw your hands from the sacks, open
them, and the Calgarry will slip from your hand like
an eel, while the other will have penetrated the skin of
the hand so as ito hold many of the oats. All these
ood qualities, combined with a larger percentage of
ernels to berry than any other, makes absolutely the
best feeding oats in cultivation. The Calgarry Gray
Oats grow very dwarf, even on strong ground; seldom
exceeding 3 feet in length, while Qe eet is about the
_ average length. This is agreat point for those farmers
. who have rich ground. Nothing short of’a moderate
; eyclone will put them down. They ripen the earliest
z of all. These oais can be put in shock before Welcome
“if Bonanza, White Russian, etc., turn yellow. This qual-
ity of itself is sufficient recommendation to place them |
abead of any other variety, as by their early maturity
they escape the hot sun, dry weather, storms and rust
that prevail about the time ordinary oats mature. In
the important matter of productiveness they have out-
yielded all other sorts where place@ in competition in

/. Choice Cleaned Crops Weigh 50 Ibs. to the Measured
Bushel.
Compare this Weight with common oats at 32 pounds,
and oftentimes less. Why grow chaff and straw, mainly,
when with this variety you can get plump, heavy grain. that
makes musele, bone and fat, when fed to your stock? Here’s
» chance to make farming pay.
ES VERITY’S: WHITE SUPERIOR SCOTCH OATS—Surpassses all
f~ othetsin Neavy weight, thin hull, shortness and plumpness
of crain, strength of straw and productiveness. In short, they
axe the mosi projitable for farmers io grow and merchanis to handle. Their
productiveness, weight, and fine qualities place them at the head of thelist.
They ripen. eveniy and very early, and notwithstanding they bear a very.
leree head, filled completely with the plump grains almost as heavy as
wheat, they stand up stiff and straight until fully matured. Their
strong. straw adapts them to rich bettom ground, where common oats
will fall down and waste. One of our growers reports a yield of 15114
bus. per acre, actual weight. These are the oats weoffer you, an
when yop seethem you will not be surprised that such enormous yields
are possible. Ground that will yield 50 bus. of common oats as usu-
ally grown will yield 100 bus. of these. ;
The following truthful, responsible farmers, who live in the neigh-"
borhood where our crops| are grown, endorse them as being very carly,
with stiff straw, extremely heavy and produetwe, and altogether a projita
variely to grow: Demas Bricker, Louis Fitzenburg, Chas, H. Coe, Cel. I
P. Larimore, J. R, Headington, Ephraim Daily, Samuel Morey, Wm.
Matton, Chas Twining. L. S., Hall, J. G. Case, and BE. W. Hawkims.
These farmersall ive in Knox eounty, Ohio, and would not misrepre-
sent an-article, but add their names and testimony to these fine oats as
evidence of their worth, and with the hope that their brether far
mers will profit by their observations. They were exhibited at the
Hartford (O.) Fair under the name of “‘ Everitt Oats,’ and’ reeeived the
first premium, and a special recommendation for their fine quality and

cali attention to Everitt’s Celebrated Man-Weight
t
arm and Garden Tools.
These great machines were invented and patented by J. A.
EVERITT, in 1891, and greatly improved since. The great ad-
vantage of this invention can be partly understood by study-
ing the illustration on last cover page, but no person can
fully realize their great advantage, until he uses the ma-
chines. They are a great boon to all cultivators
of the soil, and must be classed with the great
inventions of the age, yet they are so simple that the
natural question with every oneis: ‘*‘ Why did I not think of
that?” So nicely do they fill a want existing with thousands
of gardeners, nurserymen, seedsmen, florists and farmers,
that after the first trial they invariably conclude to “never do
without them.” The Man-Weight Cultivators are
worth their weight in silver, if not in gold, to any one who
cultivates the soil. All who have used the machines unani-
mously endorse them in the strongest language. We have
heard sensible, shrewd gardeners remark: “I would not sell
them for $25.00.” ‘*$100.00 would not tempt me to do without
them one season,” etc. The first gardener who saw the ma-
chine at Indianapolis, gave his order for the first
one we could make. Other gardeners at once acknowl-
edged that itis just what they want, and many remarked
that **If all gardeners knew of these machines
they could not be made fast enough to supply
the demand.” A trial by any person will demonstrate
the wonderful utility of
Referring to the Illustrations on Next Page:
View No. 1 shows the Man- Weight breaking up the ground.
It is not intended to break up very hard ground, although if
a man or a boy pulls ahead, almost any work in this line can
be done. To loosen up ground that has become compact, it is
just the thing.
View No. 2 pulverizes the ground after it is broken up, and
destroys weeds at a great rate.
View No.3 makes furrows to receive seeds, potatoes, etc., and
covers the seed.
View No. 4 covers seed in rows, or banks up earth on both
sides of the plants.
View No. 12 is an onion harvester, and the best one made.
The adjustability of our drag bars, moving sidewise or up and
down, makes the work lighter and the tool more effective.
View No. 5 is the drill, improved for 1896. ‘It plants all
kinds of seeds, in hills or drills, as desired, covers and marks
out the next row. Small farmers need not buy an expensive
corn drill. This will do the work as well, and the cultivators
will take care of the crop as it grows, thus doing away with
much machinery, also saving the expense of keeping a,horse.
Views 6, 7, 8,9, 10, 11 are adapted to almost all kinds of
cultivation and weeding. When you know what you want to
do, you can construct the machines to accomplish the desired
results.

Weight Tools which 222
are novel and make a
tool vastly superior to
any other man-power or

guide the machine, hence 2
the drag-bars can be
hinged, and are adjusta-
ble in all directions; thus
the tools attached to the
drag-bars perform the
work just as a weeder
would in your hands. It
is the only cultivator
mad=2that does complete
work at one operation.
No after-hoeing is re-
quired. (See illustrations
on this page.)
3. As is evident, the
power obtained, the
amount of work that can
be done and the quality
of the work are far in ex-
cess of auy other hand
t2.ls; nearly equaling horse power in quantity, while the
quality of the work is far superior to horse power work.
4. In an orchard where a horse can not be taken, and
anywhere where the w rk is too heavy for other hand ma-
chines, these fill the bill to perfection. By one man pulling
ahead, sod or compact ground can be broken up.
5. Double the amount can be raised on a given piece of
ground than with a horse plow. This is accomplished by
,. closer planting and frequent cultivation.
6. Many gardeners and small farmers can save the ex-
nse of keeping a horse.
7. Plants can be cultivated rapidly and often, hence ma-
ture earlier, wlth a greater yield. In this way the machines
can be made to pay for themselves several times every year.
IB SB ERE S EERE BEE
J. A. EVERITT—Dear Sir—My experience with the Man-
Weight Machines teaches me that no trucker will let it
go off his farm after a fair trial. The South is your best field,
since you have the oniy wheel hoe that the average darkey can
use with profit to the grower. W.A. PARKER, Weston, Miss.
The Combired Man-Weight I bought last spring is as
far ahead of other wheel hoes used here as the self-binder is
of the sickle. They fail to even imitate its work.
