mato. The celery is a sport from Winter 
Queen, and is said to be better in every 
way, bleaching with great ease for a late 
celery- There arc many other good things. 
AskforaBook 
Send No Money—Simply Learn 
I f I Know How to Cure You. 
I will mail the book wanted if you 
will send me your address. Don’t let 
doubt or prejudice keep you from ask¬ 
ing for it. 
With the book I will send an order on 
your druggist for six bottles of Dr. 
Shoop’s Restorative; and he will let you 
test it a month. If satisfied, the cost is 
$5.50. If it fails, I will pay your drug¬ 
gist myself. 
No other physician ever made such an 
offer; none ever will. T do it because I 
have discovered a remarkable remedy, 
and millions need it. I want them to 
have it. 
It is a treatment that strengthens the 
inside nerves. It brings oack the pow¬ 
er that operates all vital organs; the 
only power that can ever make them 
strong. I have turnished the remedy to 
over a half million people on these 
terms, and 39 out of each 40 have paid 
for it because they were cured. I will 
rely on your honesty; and if I fail, not 
a penny is wanted. 
Won’t you write a postal to learn 
about a remedy like that?

To Potato Growers 
Crop Seed Potatoes. They will always give satis¬ 
faction. Their qualities cannot be surpassed. They 
will not sprout uor shrivel during the Winter, but 
when planted ia Spring will come up more evenly, 
with a larger sprout, and with stronger vitality than 
any other seed. Seldom having more than one 
sprout they stand drought better than Northern- 
grown seed. They will also yield more fine, market¬ 
able potatoes (and fewer small ones) and will 
mature earlier than any other seed. We have some 
snecially fine seed this year, lroe from scab, rot or 
blight. Write for free Catalogue
