CTTRRIE'S IMPROVED ^^H 11B^^ 



MAMMOTH LONG ^^r Produce 1,500 Bushels Per Acre. Easily Grown. Great Disease Preventers. The 



RED MANGEL. ™ Hogs Do the Harvesting. 



Their wonderful productiveness and the ease with which they can be produced 

 is always a surprise to those who cultivate them the first time. Forty head ot hogs 

 and pigs may be kept without other food on an acre of Artichokes from the time frost is out of the ground until they grow 

 again, and from October 1st until the ground freezes solid. Hogs taken from Artichokes to Blue Grass and Clover will not 

 root up the sod, as they are free from intestinal worms, constipation, indigestion and fever, caused « - 



by feeding corn in winter. They can be planted either in fall or spring, for while in the ground jJSiSSfc 



freezing and thawing does not hurt them. Cut to one eye like ]£mm» 



potatoes, and plant in rows 3% feet apart and 18 inches in the row. ,'..:>■ 



When dug in the fall and stored they should be mixed with one 

 part of soil to ten parts of Artichokes, to prevent shrinking. Per 

 1 peck 60c; per bushel $2.00; per 3-bushel lots, sufficient for 



one acre, $5.50. By express or freight only.
