FARM 



Sausages 



THE season for our sausages is almost over, 

 because we only make sausages during 

 the cold weather. But if you have felt that 

 hankering for real farm sausages that the 

 " farm style " varieties fail to satisfy, you 

 still have a month or so for enjoying Jones 

 Dairy Farm Sausages. 



Get our sausages from your grocer. If he 

 sells them at all he gets several fresh ship- 

 ments every week. If he doesn't sell them, 

 write us and we will fill your orders direct. 



HAMS, BACON & LARD 



If some kind relative, living on a mid- Western farm, 

 cured his own hams and bacon in a smoke house and 

 rendered his lard in a big open kettle over a wood fire 

 and supplied you with these things, you would know 

 what few but farmers ever know, the rare flavor of 

 genuine farm products. 



For those who own no farm and have no such rel- 

 ative, we cure every year a few select small hams and 

 sides of bacon and rend a very fine, dry lard. 



Jones Dairy Farm Hams are tender because they 

 come from young dairy fed pigs. Both our hams and 

 bacon are smoke cured from embers of green hickory 

 which is obtainable only in remote localities. We 

 take our time about curing them and do the work 

 thoroughly. Then we sell what we don't want to 

 keep for our own table. 



Your grocer should be glad to order Jones hams, 

 bacon or lard for you. If he hesitates drop us a line and 

 get our little booklet. When we send it we'll write you 

 a letter explaining how we will fill your order direct.

the former having large, flat, slightly recurving 

 flowers with broad flat petals, the flowers of the 

 latter being incurved which, when well grown, 

 form into almost perfect globes. The upright 

 branching varieties somewhat resemble the Vic- 

 toria aster in habit but make a taller growth. 

 The Crego type, which originated in America, will, 

 when its beauty and merit become known, be 

 grown by everyone who plants asters. The flowers 

 often measure over five inches in diameter, are 

 borne on long, stout stems, are thoroughly double 

 and of feathery, Comet-like, artistic form. The 

 plant grows two to two and one half feet in height, 

 with a graceful branching habit. 



The American Late Branching types are un- 

 doubtedly the most popular asters of to-day, these 

 being offered under such names as Semple's Branch- 

 ing, Invincible Branching, Carlson's, etc. The 

 plants attain a height of from two to three feet 

 according to soil and climate; their habit is strong 



The old-fashioned 

 original single aster 

 (Callistephus Sinen- 

 sis) has again come 

 into favor and is 

 available in many 

 colors 



and branching, the flowers being thoroughly double, 

 very large, often over five inches in diameter, and 

 are unsurpassed for cutting. In this class Mary 

 Semple (soft shell pink), is the favorite, but the 

 white, rose, pink, crimson, lavender and blue 

 varieties are all excellent. 



Violet King, another variety of a late branching 

 type, is similar to the foregoing in habit, height 

 and free flowering qualities but the flowers are 

 quite distinct, the petals being narrow and partly 

 quilled, the color being a pleasing shade of violet. 



Rochester, a variety of Mikado, might be termed 

 a very fine form of branching type of Comet; it 

 is also of American origin. The plants run about 

 eighteen inches in height, the flowers being very 

 large, the petals beautifully twisted and curled, and 

 the color a beautiful soft shade of lavender-pink. 



The variety Electric marks quite a departure 

 in this family, the petals being long, very narrow 

 and almost thread-like, the color pure white. The 

 flowers average four inches across, the plant at- 

 taining a height of fifteen inches. 



A new and distinct type of bedding aster is 

 found in Waldersee, although it is valueless for 

 cutting purposes. The plants are very dwarf, 

 averaging a height of six to eight inches and be- 

 come a perfect mass of flowers, which last for quite 

 an extended period. 



Other fine bedding varieties are the Dwarf 

 Queen and Dwarf Chrysanthemum-flowered. The 

 old German Quilled aster is rapidly losing favor, 

 no doubt on account of its stiff and formal shaped 

 flowers. On the other hand the oldest type (Sinen- 

 sis), the single flowered, is gaining in popularity. 

 It has been greatly improved of late years, and 

 many charming colors may now be obtained. 



Although the dwarf forms are primarily of use 

 only for bedding, the tall varieties also can be used
