JRRIE’S IM- 
OVED MAMMOTH ARTICHOKES—IMPROVED WHITE FRENCH. 
Sasa Produce 1,000 Bushels Per Acre. Easily Grown. Great Disease Preventers. The Hogs Do the 
ae Harvesting. 
Yield 1,200 to 1,500 Bushels per Acre. | Their wonderful productiveness and the ease with which they can be produced is always a 
surprise to those who cultivate them the first time. A.C. Williams, of lowa, a very prominent 
eeder of Poland Chinas in large numbers, says: ‘‘The keep of my hogs when the ground is not frozen, is Blue Grass, Clover and Artichokes, 
yrty head of 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 
rain, and from October Ist until the ground freezes solid. They produce more hog food per acre than any crop I am aquainted with, and the 
gs will harvest the crop themselves. Hogs taken from Artichokes to Blue Grass and Clover will not root 
) the sod, as they are free from intestinal worms, constipation, indigestion and fever, caused by feeding 
rn in winter. They can be planted either in fall or spring, for while in the ground freezing and thawing 
es not hurt them. Cut to one eye like potatoes, and plant in rows 3% feet apart and 18 inches in the 
row. The second year break up the ground as for corn, after which the 
plants will come up thick all over the surface, run through each way with 
a cultivator when a few inches high, putting them in hills like corn. if 
left too thick they will not yield. 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 peck, 50c; per bushel, $1.50; per three bushel 
lots, sufficient for one acre, $4.00.
