“ It is estimated that one dollar per acre 
with such pulverizers as the Roller, Plank- 
drag and common Harrow, will add five to 
ten bushels per acre to the wheat crop, and to 
other crops in the same proportion. This 
same work may be performed more cheaply 
and easily by using the ‘ ACME ’ Pulverizing 
Harrow, Clod Crusher and Leveler. With it, 
the three operations of crushiug lumps, level¬ 
ing off the ground, and thoroughly pulveriz¬ 
ing the soil, are performed at the same time.”

SEE THIS SPECIAL OFFER 
Believing that I possess advantages unequalled by any other seed-grower for 
delivering reliable seeds into the hands of Farmers and Gardeners anywhere, 
at the lowest prices, and to induce a trial (which I find is generally all that is 
necessary to make a permanent customer), I hereby offer to present a year's 
subscription to our new illustrated monthly magazine, “ Seed-Time and Harvest” 
to every person who will order One Dollar’s wortli or more of seeds from the 
following very select list. The magazine is a carefully conducted 33-paged 
monthly, which is very cheap at 50 cents a year alone. A more select and valuable list of seeds cannot be 
found anywhere, and I ask a comparison of prices with those of other reliable growers. Our prices in¬ 
clude prepayment of postage. A sample copy of “Seed-Time and Harvest,” or a copy of my complete 
catalogue will be sent free to all applicants. Send postage stamps for fractions of a dollar
