A Wonder Among Cucumbers. 
Extra LongCreen Giant Cucumber. 
A veritable giant among Cucumbers, and merits the 
highest praise. Enormously large and handsome, 
many specimens growing from 20 to 30 inches in length. 
It is a very strong grower, fruit straight, smooth, uni¬ 
form, and produced in great abundance. It has few 
seeds, ( not one-fourth as many as other sorts ) quality 
excellent, crisp and tender. A very fine pickling vari¬ 
ety, and unexcelled for slicing. Every one should grow 
this remarkable novelty. No variety will equal it for 
exhibition. It will be a wonder to yourself and all be¬ 
holders. Packet 10 cts. 3 for 25 cts. 
“The Green Giant Cucumbers were splendid. My nabors were 
astonished at their great length. One measured 28 inches.” 
Lulu Williams. Westville, I. T. 
“The Long Green Giant Cucumbers were grand, and of immense 
size. They were the wonder of the community. 7 left for seed 
were all over 18 inches in length. Your Short Stem Drumhead 
Cabbage, Powells Beans and Coffee Berries were worthy of espec¬ 
ial praise.” Mrs. Emma Wilhede, Lantz, Md. 
CHUFAS, OR EARTH ALMONDS. 
These very closely resemble in sweetness and rich¬ 
ness of flavor a cocoanut or almond. Children are j 
very fond of them, 
and each one should 
have a chufa patch. 
They are much 
grown in the South 
to fatten swine, 
poultry, etc. They 
succeed perfectly at 
the North, my plants 
yielding from 300 to 
600 fine, large chufas 
each. 
They are a rich 
and healthy food for 
poultry of all kinds. 
Pi rections for plant- 
ing, etc., on each 
packet. Pkt 10 cts. 
ARTHUR HORTON, 
of Ponce, Neb., writes: 
“The chufas I got of you 
are all you claim. I rais¬ 
ed over a half bushel 
from one packet. They 
are delicious eating.” 
Protect 
The Birds 
Protect the Birds. Encourage them in every 
way. They are the Farmer’s and Gardener's 
best friends. They woi k for us, and sing for 
us from morning till night. They are God’s 
own messengers of love. They fill our homes, our 
meadows, and the woods with Heavenly music." Do 
all you can to encourage them by precept and ex¬ 
example. Put up houses for the wrens and blue 
birds. It will pay. Feed the birds in winter. I 
b'ed them every day, and they come from far and 
near. It is a delight to see them. I am sure no 
L uly customer of mine will be guilty of the cruelty 
of wearing birds on their hats, and I earnestly pray 
that each one will do their utmost to convert oth¬ 
ers from this barbarous practice A, T Cook. 
EXTRA PROLIFIC POP CORN. 
This remarkable new variety is the most astonishing 
yielder ever found among Pop Corn. Its enormous 
yields seem almost fabulous, for it produces 4 to 12 good 
ears on every stalk. Pops well soon as cured. Ears 
are 6 to 8 inches long, filled with light colored grains— 
very handsome. Stalks grow 6 feet high. Prof. With- 
erell of Davenport, Iowa says “I selected 10 stalks 011 
my farm with 121 ears, or an average of 12 ears to the 
stalk; one stalk had 19 ears.” Was such a yield ever 
before heard of? Its popping qualities are remarkable, 
very large, and delicious flavor: 3 pints will make l 
bushel popped. You can raise 100 bushels of ears on an 
acre. Be sure and include this Pop Corn in your order. 
Pop Corn is a great money crop. Choice seed, genu¬ 
ine, packet 10 cts., 3 for 25 cts. 15 for $ 1 . 00 , 
New Stringless Green Pod Bush Bean. 
This is an ideal string bean. Absolutely unrivalled. 
For home use or market no other green podded bean 
can equal it. It combines the chief merits of all 
others; extreme earliness, unusual hardiness and won¬ 
derful productiveness. Pods are very handsome and 
finest quality—the flavor being most delicious. It is 
so hardy it withstands considerable frost. Pods are 
rich green, round, straight, 6 inches long, of unsur¬ 
passed tenderness and quality. Always entirely 
stringless and without exception the very earliest of 
all beans. Packet 10 cts., 3 for 25c., 7 for 50 cts.

POP CORN

SO CAN YOU. 
POP CORN CROWING. 
Pop corn is a great money crop. 
Give your Boys and Girls a chance 
to grow a lot and make money. It 
will pay in more ways than one. 
If well cared for and soil is good, 
100 bushels of my productive va¬ 
rieties will easily grow on one 
acre; 
Almost the first money I made 
when a boy was in growing and 
selling Pop Corn. My varieties be¬ 
ing so easily grown and produce 
such immense crops makes them 
especially profitable for market. 
They always bring good prices. 
This is well worth looking after. 
If you have no boys or girls plant 
a patch yourself and report result. 
S^G. CAMPBELL, Tappan. O., writes: 
Mr. A.T. Cook.—Last Spring I got three 
packets of Pop Corn from you, and I 
raised 3 1-2 bushels, sold 2 1-2 bushels for 
$3.75 have 1-2 bu. to sell yet, and enough 
left for winter. 
W. L. ANDERSON, Ind., says:—Last 
year I planted 1-4 acre of Pop Corn and 
husked 36 bushels, a yield of 144 bushels 
per acre. I sold it for $ 1.00 per bushel. 
The corn required no more labor than 
common field corn.
