True Hybridized Potato Seed-Ball Seed. 
Thousands never saw a potato seed-ball. Thousands 
more have tried in vain to get the seed. . I have tne 
pleasure of offering a VERY choice strain ot Potato 
Seed—the product of numerous hybridizations between 
many of the best new and old varieties in cultivation. 
Growing NEW SORTS from the 
seed-ball seed is intensely in¬ 
teresting for old or young. 
There is the widest range ot 
difference in color, shape, and 
genera l characteristics between 
the different seedlings; every 
one is more or less unlike every 
other. Great success has alrea¬ 
dy attended the attempt to improve this valuable es¬ 
culent, and the end is not yet—many varieties will yet 
be found which will bring a golden harvest to the tor 
tunate growers, and prove of inestimable value to tne 
world. YOU may be the lucky one—and even your boy 
may make his fortune growing these. Let him try it.

I HAVE A HOST OF TESTIMONIALS FROM THIS FAMOUS SEED. 
Wm M. Johnson, of Tampico, Ind. writes:—“The packet of Po¬ 
tato-Seed you sent me did well. Some look like the peach-blow 
some are a beautiful pale pink, large and long for a seedling the 
first year: they are beauties. Some large wliite,purpleeyes—some 
round, pale red, 30 to 50 in a hill—some pale blue—some white, flat, 
and 3 inches or more long;—two hills of black potatoes, etc., etc. 
I never saw so many different colors and shapes. 
This is Mickey. 
“Mickey” says 
it’s nothing but fun 
to write out an order 
for Cook’s seeds, 
and more fun 
yet to 
get up clubs 
and most fun of all 
to secure such 
splendid Premiums 
with so little trouble. 
“Mickey” sends me 
many orders. 
My young friends 
you can all do as well. 
Don’t let 
“Mickey” beat you. 
A gem among radishes. It has won golden opinions 
in all sections of the country.. The illustration is per¬ 
fect from nature, and will give some idea of their great 
beauty. It is absolutely the earliest radish in cultiva¬ 
tion : their shape is perfectly globular, with rich, deep 
scarlet top; equally desirable for the market or home 
garden. My sales of this famous variety double every 
year. No other radish can compare with it for earli¬ 
ness. It is very tender, and of extra quality.

The Famous New Faxon Squash. 
This new and distinct variety is very early, of medi¬ 
um size, unusually productive, and of the best possi¬ 
ble quality. They cook dry, sweet and rich whether 
ripe or green—are an excellent keeper, thus supplying 
the table with this delicacy during three seasons— 
summer, fall and winter. Some Faxons are pale yel¬ 
low, while others are green, mottled, etc., in fact it is 
“The Best 
Squash 
in the 
World.” 
a curious admixture of many sizes, shapes and colors. 
This is a characteristic of the squash. The flesh is 
deep orange, cavity small. Nothing excels it for pies. 
I consider the Faxon decidedly the best of all squash¬ 
es. Many who never could eat squashes before con¬ 
sider them delicious. Don’t miss the Faxon. It can¬ 
not be praised too highly. Every customer will thank 
me for advising them to try it. Pkt. 10 cts. 3 for 25c.
