I KNOW there is not as much paint, not as much paper, not as many exagerated pictures and extravagant descriptions in my catalog as many have [neither is my price as 
high;] but my cabbages will head as well, and my flowers be as beautiful and smell as sweet as theirs. By printing a plain catalog I can give you better bargains in seeds. 
A. T. COOK'S CATALOGUE OF TESTED SEEDS. 
3 
Specialties, Novelties, and Improved Varieties. 
The following list of Specialties, new, and improved varieties of Vegetable seeds, etc. have been 
mostly grown, and fully tested by me, and found to be worthy of all the praise I have given 
them; and my customers will find them all of great value and merit. 
You may be 
disappointed In not fin¬ 
ding In my catalogue 
varieties that are large¬ 
ly boomed by other 
seedsmen. If they are 
omitted there lsareason 
for It. Is is not cheaper 
for you to be disappoint¬ 
ed now than at harvest 
time? All unworthy 
sorts are left out of this 
catalogue. 
SHOE PEG 
SUGAR CORN. 
—o— 
This new variety, 
Is the sweetest and 
choicest sort grown, 
has sold at double 
the prices of all oth¬ 
er varieties. It has 
the deepest grain 
and smallest cob of 
any. The cut is 
from nature—re¬ 
duced in size. 
The stalks are of 
medium helg h t, 
sometimes yielding 
as many as 5 ears. 
The kernel Is small, 
very long, white, ex. 
ceedingly tender, 
sweet and of a rich 
flavor; in maturing 
It is medium late. 
It possesses so 
many desl r a b 1 e 
qualities that no 
market or private 
garden is complete 
without it. 
Pkt. 10 cts; 3 for 
25 cts. qt. 45 cts. 
•‘The SHOE PEG 
corn is the best we 
ever ate.” C. Weck- 
esser, Sanborn N. Y. 
“Of the 6 kinds of 
sweet corn grown 
this year, the Shoe 
Peg was best. It 
was so sweet and 
delicate-fl a v o r e d 
that some of the 
household would 
touch no other- 
while this was to be 
had,” A.J. Wilson, 
Macedon, N. Y. 
WHITE VELVET OKRA. 
Why not try Okra this 
year ? You will like it es¬ 
pecially if you try this 
splendid new variety. It 
Is very early, distinct 
and of attractive white 
velvet appearance, of 
superior flavor and tend¬ 
erness. The young pods 
are nice for soups, stews, 
etc., and also much liked 
when pickled. The pods 
are of extra large size, 
and produced in great 
abundance. Packet 10c. 
IGNOTUM TOMATO. 
All should plant the new Ignotum Tomato. A 
“ priceless paragon” in the Tomato line; the earliest, 
most solid and valuable Tomato ever introduced. It 
will wipe out fifty old sorts at a sweep. Why grow a 
poor sort when you can have such a variety as this ? 
My stock seed came from Fountain-head, (Cornell 
Agricultural College.) Seeds are few hi the fruits, 
and necessarily expensive. Pkt. 10c. 3 for 25c 
HENDERSON’S NEW BUSH LIMA BEAN. 
Think of raising Limas without poles! They grow 
18 Inches high, in a compact bush form, and produce 
enormous crops of delicious Lima Beans; (a single 
plant has produced 270 pods.) The beans are the size 
of the Sleva or small Lima, and of delicious quality. 
It Is two weeks earlier than the common Lima. This 
fact alone would stamp it as a most valuable novelty; 
but when in addition we realize that It is a true BUSH 
BEAN, requiring no supports, some Idea of its great 
value can be obtained. Pkt. 10c. 3 for 25 cents. 
J CLUB AGENTS and all others should remember that $1.00 pays for seeds IN PACKETS 
jj to the amount of $1.50—and that $2.00 will pay for $3.00 worth—and the FARM JOUR- 
k NAL one year thrown in. Bear in mind I send everything prepaid and guarantee safe ar- 
5 rival—no matter whether you live in Maine or California. See opposite page.
