Twenty-five per 
cent more Sugar 
every year and a 
better quality from 
POST’S Galvan¬ 
ized Eureka Sap 
Spouts than from 
any others, is the verdict of over 20,000 
Maple Sugar Makers that use them. 
E3?“ Their perfect working with the 
utmost satisfaction is guaranteed. 
Only a trial is needed to convince one of 
their superiority over all others. If every Sugar 
Maker not having tested them, will tap his sugar bush with 
the Eurekas the coming season, a tull supply the follow¬ 
ing season will be the result. If you fail to procure a sup¬ 
ply of a Hardware dealer or Agent, I will deliver at any 
Railroad station named ^ _ 
in U. S. east of the Mis- 
sissipi River not less 
than 1(X) Spouts on re¬ 
ceipt of these prices. I 
will send you samples of 
my No. 1 and No. 2 
Spouts, post-paid, on receipt of three IT. S. 3-cent Stamps.

sod plowed last February, when it ivas very

ONION SEED. 
What my customers say: “ The Onion Seed was superior 
to any I ever had.”—S. \V. Seaman, Motts Corners, New 
York. “I can get seed in my own neighborhood, but prefer 
yours at double the price. 1 ’—N. P. Watts, Perry, Ohio, 
“ Your seed is the only seed from which we can raise good 
onions the first year.”—J. M. L. Parker, Alinepce, Wis. 
“1 have used your seed for six years, and had rather pay 
$2.00 per lb. extra than have seed from any other source.”— 
A. T. Ayers, Turner Mills, Iowa. “The Danvers Onions 
from your seed grew larger than any onions around here 
grew from setts.”—James McGowan. Phillipsburph. War¬ 
ren Co., New Jersey. “Your Early Red Globe yielded at 
rate of 948 bushels to the acre.”—Silas Totten, Kent City. 
Mich. This is just the kind of Onion Seed I have to offer. 
Last year, planted as a test, side by side with seed from 
eleven different growers, the onions’ from my own marked¬ 
ly surpassed all in roundness, earliness, and fineness If 
those of you who grow red onions will try my Early Red 
Globe, you will not he likely to raise any other for the fu¬ 
ture. Early Round Yellow Danvers, bv mail, per ih.. $2.65. 
Early Red Globe, *3.0'). Yellow Cracker (earliest of ail),
