Evnrpss Tinfpe 'behave obtained from the Southern Express Co. a special express rate on 
kkcllCa seeds shipped from us to our customers. The special rate is equivalent to a 
reduction of about one-third from the regular rates, and on shipments of less than 30 pounds, we can, in most case.s, 
ship by express cheaper than by freight. As a rule, we can ship 15 pounds of seeds or a peck of peas, or beans, or 
corn to any point reached by the Southern Express Co. for 35 cents. This does not apply to points on the Wells- 
Fargo, American or Pacific Express. The cost in those cases will be 35 cents for each company on a 10 or 15-pouuJ 
shipment, making a charge of 70 cents when shipment is handled by two different express companies. 
Ahoilf W^Trranfv H. G. Hastimis & Co. give no warranty, either express or implied, as to description, 
r-xuuui TT quality,productiveness or any other matter, of any seeds, bulbs or plants they send out, 
and will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods on these terms, 
they are at once to be returned, and any money that may have been paid for 'hem will be refunded. Crops are 
dependent for success or failure on so many things besides the seed that it is impossible to give any warranty or 
guarantee. This does not mean that we lack confidence in the seeds we sell, but we have absolutely no control 
over the seeds after they leave our house, especially so as to methods of.plauting, cultivation,season and fertiliz¬ 
ing, all of which are important factors in the success of any crop. If we should warrant or guarantee seeds in any 
way we could be held responsible for the failure of the crop, regardless of cause, and this is a responsibility we can 
not and will not accept. H. G. HASTINGS & CO.

vate frequently and continue until the roots have grown for one year. In transplanting put the roots 18 inches 
apart each way and 4 inches below the surface. Use your richest piece of ground and remember that you cannot 
use too much manure on them. Palmetto is earlier, a better ylelder and more even and regular in growth than 
many of the latter introductions. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; pound, 20 cents; pound, 60 cents. ii,

than planting the seed, yet the time saved and the generally more satisfactory growth makes it wet! worth while to

Jerusalem Artichoke, the Greatest Ho^ Food 
The Southern farmer who grows hogs and does not grow Artichokes is 
neglecting a most important hog-food crop. It is a most valuable food for 
hog.s, fattening them quickly, and it is said by many hog raisers that a hog 
fed on artichokes has never been known to have cholera. They are fully 
adapted to Southern plantings, growing and increasing through the entire 
season. They are grown from tubers, the same as with Irish potatoes. It 
re niires 6 bushels to plant an acre. On very rich land they have produced 
1,000 bushels per acre. Turn the hogs iuto the field and they will harvest them. Cut the tubers to a single eve. 
plantingin March and April in rows 3 feet apart, dropping seed every 2 feet in the row. Let grow until fall. 
Hogs will harvest them all through the winter. Pound, postpaid, 25 cents; 3 pounds, 65 cents. By freight or e.\ 
press, not prepaid, ’.eck, 65 cents; bushel, $2.00; barrel (ot about 3 bushels), 85.00.

OUR BUSH or BUNCH BEANS 
For Spring Planting 
•ferusalem Artichoke 
UUT TTTTJlt' latitude (Atlanta) sow bush beans from March till September. Continu- 
ous crops may be grown through the entire summer. In Florida and alongAe 
Gulf Coast plantings may be done earlier, but-bush beans will not-do well in that section during 
J une, J uly and August, so that spring and fall plantings must be made. Sow in drills 18 InQhes to 2 ; 
feet apart, dropping a bean every 4 inches and covering 2 Inches. Soil should be warm and moist 
for successful germination. When about to bloom draw the earth up around the stem. Keep the 
soil stirred frequently, and as fa.st as the beans mature pick them on if you want them to stay in 
bearing for a longtime. Quantity needed for planting—1 pint for each T5 feet of rowr 
about 1)4 bushels per acre. -
