EARLY LARGE PURPLE EGG PLANT. 
BEST IN THE WORLD 
It is with much pleas¬ 
ure I call the attention 
of my friends to this 
greatly improved vege¬ 
table. Noone should fail 
to grow it. It is a mark¬ 
ed improvement over 
other sorts in quality, 
size, and great beauty. 
Plants are low, stocky, 
branching, free from 
spines. Very early, and 
one of the easiest and 
surest of growers; very 
productive—plants pro¬ 
ducing 5 to 10 immense 
fruits each. Every one— 
and especially those who 
have never grown Egg 
Plant should try this va¬ 
riety. Pkt. 10 c. 3 for 25c.

BOYS AND GIRLS 
are among my most suc¬ 
cessful club-raisers. They always 
do well if they try. I sent them over 
1,000 of my beautiful watehes last 
year, besides thousands of other pre¬ 
miums to their great delight. 
Parents everywhere should en¬ 
courage their children to get up clul >s 
for nothing could benefit them more 
than such practical business lessons. 
Give them your order to start with. 
Please show above to 
boys and girls everywhere. 
Extra Early Purpie Top Milan Turnip. 
The earliest in cultivation, 
adapted to spring or fall. It 
is fully one week earlier than 
any other sort, and of superi¬ 
or quality. The bulb is flat, 
medium size, smooth, with a 
bright purple top; leaves few. 
The mire ivory-white flesh is 
of tl.'o choicest quality, solid, 
and fine grained. Very mild 
and SAveet. A good keeper. 
Of great value to all private 
and market gardens. Pkt. 10c. 
You Can Make Lots of Mon- 
J ey Growing Veg. Plants. 
I know you can for I used to do it myself. I 
have sold over $75.00 worth of Celery plants a- 
lone to my nabors in a single season. Cabbage, 
Tomato and Celery plains sell best. Pepper, 
Cauliflower, Lettuce and Egg Plant sell good 
too. Asparagus plants always sell well and bring 
Dig prices. (Panfy Plants ditto.) 
You can soon build up a very profitable busi 
ness in plants if yon try, that will increase from 
year to year. T 'cre is everywhere a good de¬ 
mand at paying prices. Plant a dozen pkts. of 
above varieties and fill 
up your pocket-book. 
After you have your 
early beds all made 
and planted, and have 
sent in your club for 
Cook’s seeds, you may 
go sir

Watch in 3 hours. No need for any b> y or girl to be without a 
nice watch when they can get one so easily.” Willie Hall, Kans.

‘We may live without poets, mnsic and art. 
We m? y iive without conscience, and live without heart; 
We may live without friends, we may live without books, 
But civilized man cannot live without Cooks,” 
I much desire the name and address of one per¬ 
son in each family in the United States by the name 
of “Codk.“ Somehow it seems to me that all Cook’s 
especially should know of my bargains in seeds 
and premiums. Please send the names (one only 
in each family) and oblige. Your Seedsman—Cook. 
Mammoth Ignotum Tomato. 
All should plant the new Ignotum Tomato. A “price¬ 
less paragon” in the Tomato line. The earliest extra 
LARGE tomato. The most valuable large tomato ever 
introduced. It will wipe out fifty old sorts at a sweep. 
Bright red color, always smooth and solid, uniformly 
LARGE size. Why grow a poor sort wh< >n yev can have 
such a variety as this? Beware of cheap Tomato 
seed which is often the vile product of waste from 
Canning Factories. My seed is carefully grown and 
selected. Packet 10 cts. 3 for 25 cts. 
The Ignotum Tomato is best we ever bad. I did not think it could 
equal your description—but a trial proves it really does. 
John Erwin, Harrison Co. Ohio. 
From a careful test of 45 different varieties I find the Ignotum the 
best of all. J. Gregory. Essex Co. Mass. 
§ W A 9 year old Ckb Raiser. $ 
/|\ Mr. A. T. Cook. I am very muen pleased with triy 
watches. I gave one to brother. I am only 9 years old $ 
/}\ and got up my $6.00 club in one day. Any boy or girl $ 
fa can have a nice watch if they only try. I will get up; 
A much larger club next year. Papa is much 
■*» pleased with his seeds. J. Lent. Hopewell, N. Y. 
Golden Tankard Mangel-Wurtzel Beet. 
This is decidedly the finest 
mangel in cultivation, and 
best tor dairy use. Of very 
large size, clean and hand¬ 
some, easily pulled as it 
grows two-thirds out of the 
ground; will bear close plant¬ 
ing. The flesh is rich gold¬ 
en yellow, exceedingly nu¬ 
tritious. It is early, hardy, 
and a very heavy cropper. 
The Golden Tankard has 
quickly taken the lead of all 
other varieties. It contains 
a larfje percentage of sugar 
and is much relished by 
milch cows and sheep. One 
of the b st of keepers. F ir- 
mers should give root crops 
more attention. The won¬ 
derful results of feeding ,, 
roots are plainly seen in the ^ 
health and condition of the 
animals, and in the greatly 
increased yield of milk and 
rich, golden butter in cows. Do not miss planting a 
good size patch. It will be dollars in your pocket. 
Selected seeds in LARGE PACKETS 6 cts. each. G for

Improved Purple Top Yellow Rutabaga. 
This variety cannot be too highly recommended, and 
no sort, will produce such handsomely formed roots, or 
greater yield. It is of the choicest 
quality, and full of nourishment; 
very solid, of a beautiful orange col¬ 
or, w th a handsome purple top. Will 
keep all winter and even into the fol¬ 
lowing summer. It is the result of 
many years of careful selection.
