Won't You Sit Down 



in an "Old Hickory" — just once? Then you'll 

 know the real comfort of an "easy chair" 

 that is easy! Enjoy that elastic, springy 

 feeling — like the gentle sway of the young 

 tree itself. 



Old Hickory Furniture breathes the com- 

 fort and rest of the woods. It stands, sturdy 

 and rugged, made now as in the long ago, 

 when Clay, Calhoun and Webster sat in hick- 

 ory chairs. Andrew Jackson liked his chair 

 so well that people nicknamed him "Old 

 Hickory." That's our trademark, burned 

 into every piece of furniture we make. 



Old Hickory Furniture 



is fast displacing bamboo, willow and painted 

 wood. Famous resorts like "Claremont-on- 

 the-Hudson," the "Old Faithful Inn" of Yel- 

 lowstone Park, and the splendid West Baden 

 Hotel, are fitted up with "Old Hickory." 

 From east to west the highest types of resorts 

 have adopted it. 



It is so in refined country homes— in all places 

 where good taste prevails — "Old Hickory" is 

 found. There is nothing so comfortable, so 

 durable, so much the vogue, yet so much like 

 old times, as Old Hickory Furniture. 



The legs and rungrs we cut from young' hick- 

 ory trees, grown just for us— 7,000 acres in one 

 grove. From bigger trees we peel the stout 

 inside bark in long strips, strong and smooth as 

 rawhide. From these we weave by hand the 

 smooth, springy seats and backs. 

 To library, lawn, or porch, "Old Hickory" 

 lends grace and comfort — artistic in its rare 

 simplicity. 



Write today for our Free Style Book, showing 

 150 types of "Old Hickory," and telling all about it.

between turkeys and chickens, preferring the 

 former dry picked and the latter scalded. For 

 shipping, the chickens should be dry picked. All 

 are required drawn, with heads and feet on. 



St. Louis is a good market for all kinds of fat, 

 well-dressed poultry, preferring it scalded. Turkeys 

 for cold storage, however, are an exception; they 

 must be dry picked. 



San Francisco has a method of its own in selling. 

 Only turkeys are sold by the pound, geese being 

 sold by the pair and ducks and chickens by the 

 dozen. All must be dry picked, undrawn, with 

 heads and feet left on, and it is reported that 

 buyers will not purchase scalded poultry. Ducks, 

 geese, and chickens are picked clean, a few feathers 

 being left on the wing tips of the turkeys. The 

 demand for good fat poultry is always large. The 

 prices quoted are about the same as those in New 

 York. 



Directions from all markets are not to use 

 straw in packing, a practice which many formerly 

 followed.

When to Plant 



EVERY vegetable should be sown outdoors as 

 early as its resistance to spring frosts will 

 permit. The tender vegetables cannot stand 

 any frost at all. But if you sow all your vegetables 

 outdoors you will lose about two months. To 

 have fresh vegetables in April and May in the 

 North you should have a hotbed and a coldframe. 

 Start the tender vegetables in February, the hardy 

 ones in March, and you can gain from one to two 

 months on the most important vegetables. 



HARDY VEGETABLES 



Sow these as soon as the soil is in proper working 

 condition, before all danger from frost is past, 

 when the peach is in bloom, or when buds of trees 

 are bursting. This is usually about the middle 

 of April at Philadelphia: 



Kohlrabi Potato, early 



Lettuce Radish 



Onion Spinach 



Parsley Swiss chard 



Parsnip Turnip 



Beet 



Brussels sprouts 



Carrot 



Cauliflower 



Celery 



Kale 



Peas (smooth seeded) 



SEMI-HARDY VEGETABLES 



Sow these when the apple is in bloom and the 

 nights yet cool, when there is no danger except 

 from belated frost, or when the trees are half in 

 leaf. This is about April 25th at Philadelphia: 



Beans, green-podded bush varieties 

 Corn, hardy early varieties 

 Peas, with wrinkled seeds 



TENDER VEGETABLES 



When all danger from frost is past, when trees 

 are in full leaf, and the nights are warm, (early 

 May at Philadelphia), sow seed outdoors or set 

 plants of: 



Beans, bush, 



wax-podded 



Okra 



Beans, lima 





Pepper 



Corn 





Pumpkin 



Cucumber 





Squash 



Egg plant 





Tomato
