I Lb. (Postpaid) 20c or by Express or 
Freight, 1 Lb. 15c; 10 Lbs. 80c 
100 Lbs $6.50 
Most valuable food for hogs that can bt 
grown. Every hog raiser should plant 
them. They are not only very healthful, 
but as a fattening agent arc unexcelled. 
They yield very heavily, 300 to 350 bush- 
els to the acre being realized on good soil, 
it is not necessary to dig them, for 11 
given an opportunity, the hogs will help 
themselves. 
Artichokes need planting but once, and 
little or no culture after the first year. 
Cut as potatoes, only smaller; plant in 
rows three and one-half feet apart. Plow 
deep, plant shallow, say two inches. The 
second year, break up the ground as for 
corn; they will come up thickly all over 
the surface. Those wishing to purchase 
should place orders early. 
ASPARAGUS 
Sow early in the spring in drills 2 inches deep and 
12 inches apart if to be cultivated by hand. One ounce of 
seed will make about 500 plants. When the plants are 
one or two years old transplant to rows 5 feet apart and 
18 inches apart in the row. Cover the soil 4 to 5 inches 
deep with well rotted manure and disc well — then plow as 
deep as possible and fine with harrow. Turn furrows 5 
feet apart, about 6 inches deep. Place plants in these about 
18 inches apart, with the roots well spread out. Turn 
a light furrow back over them and level with the harrow 
by cross harrowing.

about 2 inches apart. 
tBEANS— (Dwarf Wax Sorls) 
BEANS— (New Delicious.) Lb. (Postpaid) 40c

nounced them of excellent flavor. The 
vines are small but very prolific. Wt 
recommend a little closer planting than 
other Wax varieties. Stock of this Bean 
is very limited this year.
