Its only ■within the past three or four years that seeds have been grown so extensively 
in the North, and during that time, since first making a specialty of growing them, our 
business has increased -with wonderful rapidity until we now have one of the largest and most complete establishments in America. Their ability 
to withstand drought together with their earliness and immense yields have made them so popular that many of the largest gardeners will use 
nothing but Northern Grown Seeds.

than we are, but still like every other seedsmen we do not give any warrantj', express or implied, and if the purchaser does not accept them on 
these conditions they must be returned at once. We cannot warrant them as too much depends on the season, soil and care given them, and every 
person of judgment can sec this as well as ourselves.

ARTICHOKE ROOT. 
ARTICHOKE ROOTS. 
Giant White.— The grreat food for Hogs. 
These are grown from tubers the same as pota- 
toes and are the finest food that can be raised 
for hogs and sheep as they prefer them to any- 
thing. This, together with their wonderful 
yield, 500 to 1,000 abushels to the acre, makes 
them by far the cheapest as well as most valu- 
able feed for this class of stock. They need not 
be dug in the fall, simply turn in the hogs and 
they will root them up ver3' quickly. Of course 
they can be dug and fed later in the season if 
you so desire. No farmer who has any hogs or 
sheep can afford to b*» without the Giant White 
Artichoke, which is the heaviest yielder and best 
variety grown, By mail postpaid, pound 30c., 
4f pounds, $1.00. By express or freight at pur- 
chaser's expense, peck, $1.()0. 1ms. $2.75, barrel 
of 3 bus. (enough fur one acre) $6.00.

Conover's Colossal. — A standard variety and 
the oldest asparagus we know of. Yerv fine 
quality. Pkt. 6c., oz. lOc, '4 lb. 20c., lb. 55c. 
Palmetto. — An enormous yielder, earlier and 
larger than Conover's Colossal. Very popular 
in the East and extensively grown for the New 
York and Boston markets. Pkt. lOc.. OZ, 15c,. 
i/,,lb. 40c.,lb, $1.25. 
^X^Barr's Mammoth. — Since the introduction 
of this grand variety a few years since, it has 
been almost impossible to grow sufficient seed 
to fill orders, so great has been the demand. It 
originated about six years ago with Crawford 
Barr, of Montgomery Co., Pa., a prominent 
market gardener. Grown side by side with 
the Conover's Colossal, and subject to the same 
treatment, it comes in earlier and grows 
more than twice as larg'e. It is tender to the 
stem, and of delicious fl.-^vor, which, together 
with the fact that it requires much less labor in 
cutting and bunching, thuslesaening the expense 
of marketing, makes it much the most desirable 
of any kind vet introduced for the market gard- 
ener. Pkt. 5c., oz. 16c., 34 lb. 40c., lb. $1.25,
