Improved Bush Cherry 
The Improved Bush Cherry is the result of over thirty years of 
hybridizing and plant selection. It Alls the need of the small 
home grounds where space is limited. It not only produces fine 
quality fruit, but makes a desirable ornamental shrub. The 
cherries are of line flavor when eaten in their fresh state and 
also make excellent jams and preserves. 
The fruit resembles a plum in size and shape, but the plant 
grows in the form of a bush, 4 feet tall at maturity, and pro¬ 
duces fruit on all of its branches from the ground up. Bears 
early and abundantly each year. Frequently produces fruit the 
same year as planted. Very easy to grow and does not require 
spraying like Plums and Cherries. 
For ornamental planting, the Bush Cherry has many uses. Its 
low growth makes it ideal for foundation planting, for the low 
shrubbery border and as a hedge plant. The profuse masses of 
white flowers appear early in the spring. The foliage is silvery 
green turning red and gold in the fall. 
Prices: Strong, healthy, fleld grown plants, 50c each; 3 for 
$1.25; 12 for $3.85, postpaid. 
Hybridized Potato Seed 
Potato Seed Balls—One-Half Size 
Seed from the Seed Balls—Headquarters Stock. Your fortune 
may be in one of them. They are as easy to grow as tomatoes. 
Millions never saw Potato Seed Balls. They are the seed pods 
that grow on the top of the potato plant, and in most localities 
do not produce seed. This seed will produce an endless variety 
of new kinds. It is from these that all valuable new varieties of 
potatoes are produced. Growing new and distinct Seedling Po¬ 
tatoes from the Seed-Ball Seed is intensely interesting. . They will 
be the greatest curiosity of your garden. This seed will posi¬ 
tively produce innumerable new kinds, colors, shapes, sizes and 
qualities. The product will astonish you. Some may be of im¬ 
mense value and bring you a golden harvest. Full directions on 
every package. Pkt., 15c; 3 pkts., 30c, postpaid.

less before this deadly fungous disease. It kills millions of dol¬ 
lars’ worth of tender seedlings each year. Treat your seeds with 
Cuprocide (Red Copper Oxide) to prevent seeds decaying in the 
ground and to prevent seedling plants from dying when small. 
Every planter of vegetable and flower seeds should use Cuprocide.

of seed), 90c; 4 oz. size, 35c, postpaid. 
WHITE GOLD 
Ten Days Elarlier Than Any Other White 
Potato 
White Gold is by far the earliest white Potato, which enables 
the grower to get on the market when prices are high. It is 
also a profltable main crop sort, due to its big yield and fine ap¬ 
pearance and quality. 
White Gold has the size and snape of the Green Mountain, 
though the eyes are shallow and it is slightly netted in appear¬ 
ance. The yields compare favorably with late varieties such as 
Rural New Yorker and Carman. The outstanding feature, how¬ 
ever, is its earliness, for here is a white Potato of good size 
and appearance, a big yielder, and ten days earlier than Irish 
Cobbler, Early Ohio or Bliss Triumph. It is also a good winter 
keeper and of splendid cooking quality. Naturally the price of 
seed of this new variety Is somewhat higher than ordinary varie¬ 
ties, but it is worth many times the difference in cost, as grow¬ 
ers will derive greater profits because of its earliness. 
Our supply of W’hite Gold seed potatoes is very limited, so we 
are not selling whole potatoes this year. For the benefit of our 
customers who want to get a start with this most excellent of all 
potatoes, we are furnishing good sound potato eyes by mail. 
These eyes are carefully packed and we warrant them to arrive 
in good growing condition, no matter how far away. Remember, 
the potato eyes are sent postpaid. This is your opportunity to 
get a start with this wonderful potato. 60 eyes should produce 
a bushel or more of good potatoes. Some claim 3 to 5 bushels 
from sixty eyes, and one customer in Alaska reports 350 lbs. 
from 30 eyes. 
Orders for the South can be sent at any time during the win¬ 
ter with perfect safety. Orders for the North and West can be 
sent whenever the customer desires them. When ordering Potato 
Eyes, be sure to give the date you want us to ship them to you, 
as eyes keep in good condition only 2 to 3 weeks after cutting.
