ATouch of Color 

 Early in theYeat 



A planting of our 

 choice Azaleas, as 

 illustrated here, 

 makes a glorious 

 showing of color 

 early in the 

 spring, before 

 most things come out. We have them in many 

 tints, shading from flesh to crimson — fine, stocky 

 plants that will thrive not only in the South, but 

 many sorts also in New York and further north. 

 Beside Azaleas, we 

 have an extensive 

 stock of very desir- 



abie Trees and and Plants for Spring 



Plants for Spring r 



— Hardy Shrubs of all kinds, Conifers, Field-Grown 

 Roses, etc. Our attractive Catalogue for 1910 il- 

 lustrates and describes these and will interest you. 

 A copy will be mailed on request.

in the 



Poultry Business 



Uncle Sam estimates this year's Poultry and Egg value at $700,000,000. Nice, tidy 

 sum, isn't it? Juicy melon for somebody — How about your slice? 



Fancy the number of fowls required to satisfy a de- 

 mand aggregating such an enormous figure and then ask 

 yourself if there's any good reason why a good big share 

 of the profits of this tremendous sum isn't pouring into 

 your pockets? 



If you axe in the poultry game and not making the 

 money you'd like, what's the reason? If you are in it at : 

 fair returns, why not make more and if you'd like to get ' 

 •in why not start and go after it right? 



Remember, success in anything depends on knowing how. Some people spend years 

 and scads of money finding out what they might just as well learn at far less cost. 



HOW UNCLE SAM HELPS POULTRY RAISERS 



While employed as Government Commercial Poultry Expert, Mr. Milo M. Hastings 

 carefully investigated the great successful poultry plants of the country, their private sys- 

 tems, patent feeds, so-called poultry secrets, etc. This cost the U. S. Government thou- 

 sands of dollars and much valuable time, but resulted in producing the most thoroughly 

 practical and profitable plans for conducting the poultry business known, also the most 

 favorable conditions for doing it. It showed 



HOW TO CUT EXPENSES IN HALF 



do away with wasting money on patent feeds, useless systems and expensive equipment. 

 Not Theory, but Facts. All this valuable information has been carefully and briefly 

 compiled in a handsome book entitled 



" THE DOLLAR HEN" 



It tells how to make money in the Poultry Business in a plain common sense way — not 

 bv get-rich-quick schemes — but by practical business methods. 



IT WILL SHOW YOU YOUR CHANCES OF SUCCESS, on either a 

 large or small scale — where and how to reach the best markets; how to meet the 

 constantly growing demand and the almost unlimited field ; also a typical 

 money-making poultry farm called " The Dollar Hen Farm." In addition to 

 this and over ioo other subjects of vital importance, " The Dollar Hen" tells 

 about The Hen's Ancestors ; Chinese Poultry Culture ; The Public Hatcheries 

 of Egypt; Recent Discoveries in Incubation ; The Causes of Poultry Diseases; 

 Grading, Packing and Storage of Poultry Products; The Fattening Methods of 

 the Big Packers, and Co-operative Egg Marketing. " The Dollar Hen" is 

 practical from cover to cover and has the endorsement of the best poultry 

 authorities; also the poultry press.
