THE BEST COFFEE SUBSTITUTE EVER DISCOVERED. 



MANY pronounce it as good us the genuine, end it has been superseding, in a great measure, store coffee as fast as its merits become known. It is the 

 poor man's friend and the rich man's delight. It is certainly the beet berry to mix in with other coffee I ever saw; half and half will produce a drink 

 claimed by many to be equal to a good cup of Rio. It is the hardiest, easiest raised and most productive of any plant I ever saw. While growing, 

 it ifl a perfect eight to behold. See coffee cut, Which does not exaggerate its wonderful productiveness. It matures early as corn, and does well on every 

 kind of soil. You can raise your own coffee for one cent a pound. Ground and fed to milch cows, it makes the richest and yellowest butter ever seen. It 

 is as easily raised as corn or beans, and is cultivated in the 6ame way. Full directions on every packet. Parch and prepare like other coffee, and you wi 11 

 be surprised and delighted to find how good it is. My seed is genuine. I regret I have only room for the following among hundreds of testimonials: 

 The Christian Advocate says: "It is one of the most wonderful discoveries of the age. We have never tasted anything so near genuine/' A. I. Root, 

 publ isher, says: "The Coffee Berry is a success, and preferable to the real coffee, because I think it is more healthful." Buy at headquarters and avoid 

 disappointment. I.ar^e packet, 5c; X lb, 10c; y 3 lb- 17c.; lb. 30c

POP CORN 



LEAD I N G 

 VARIETIES. 



SPECIAL OFFER— For only 25c. I will send, prepaid, one 

 liberal package each of the above six Pop Corns. 



POP CORN should be found in every garden, especially if there are chil- 

 dren to enjoy it daring the long winter evenings which bring young 

 people together for social amusement. It is a fact not generally 

 known that Pop Corn pops best when more than one year old, and that 

 when well popped it becomes twenty times its natural size; thus a quart and 

 a half will make nearly 8 bushel of popped corn. In the illustration will 

 be seen a convenient "popper," which may be bought for a trifle from a 

 hardware store or easily made of wire netting. Did you ever try Pop Corn 

 as a money making orop? You will be surprised at the result. There is 

 always a good market at a fair price, and if you plant my selected stock 

 seed, you will be able to sell your crop to planters in your vicinity at a 

 greatly advanced price.
