EARLY LARGE PURPLE EGO PLANT. 
BEST IN THE WOULD. 
It is with much pleas¬ 
ure 1 call the attention 
of my friends to this 
greatly improved vege¬ 
table. Nooneshould Fail 
t o grow it. It is a mark - 
ed improvement over 
other sorts in quality, 
size, and great beauty. 
Plants are low, stocky, 
bra nching, free f r o m 
.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. 10c. 3 for 25c.

As 
,»■ BOYS AND CIRLS 
are among my most suc¬ 
cessful club-raisers. They always 
do well if they try. I sent them over 
1,000 of my beautiful watches last 
year, besides thousands of other pre 
minms to their great delight. 
Parents everywhere should en¬ 
courage their children to get up clubs 
for nothing could benefit them more 
than such practical business lessons. 
Give them your order to start with.

Extra Early Purple Top Milan Turnip.

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 pure ivory-white flesh is 
of the choicest quality, solid, 
and fine grained. Very mild 
and sweet. A good keeper. 
Of great value to all private 
and market gardens. Pkt. 10 c,

1 ey Crowing Veg. Plants. » 
1 know you can for I used to do it myself. 1 
have sold over $75.00 worth of celery plants a- 
lone to my i tabors in a single season. Cabbage, 
Tomato and Celery plants sell best, l’eppcr. 
Cauliflower, Lettuce and Egg Plant sell good 
too. Asparagus plants always sell well and bring 
big prices. ( Pansy Plants ditto.) 
Yon can soon build up a very profitable busi 
ness in plants if you try, that will increase from 
year to year. There is everywhere a good de¬ 
mand af paying prices. Plant a dozen pkts. of 
above varieties and fill 
up your pocket-book. 
A fter yon have your 
early beds all made 
and planted, and have 
sent in your club for

Cot Mis Watch Order in Three Hours. 
“I am a small boy 11 years old. I got up my club for your Prom. 
Watch in 8 hours. No need for any boy or girl io be without a 
nice watch when they can get one so easily.” Willie Hall, Kans. 
Is Your Name Cook? 
“We may live without poets, music and art, 
We may live without conscience, and live without heart: 
We may live withoWfriendS, 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 “Cook.“ Somehow it seems to me that ail 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 riiost valuable large tomato ever 
introduced. 11 wil 1 wipe out fifty old sorts at a sweep. 
Bright red color, always smooth and solid, uniformly 
LARGE size. Why grow a poor sort when you can have 
such a variety as this? 41®- Beware of cheap Tomato 
seed which is often the vile product of waste from 
Canning Factories. My seed is carefully grown and 
selected. Packet loots. 3for25ets. 
The Ignotnm Tomato is best we ever had. 1 did not think it could 
equal your description—but a trial proves it really does.

Golden Tankard Mangel-Wurtzel Beet. 
This is decidedly the finest 
mangel in cultivation, and 
best for dairy use. Of very 
large size, clean and hand¬ 
some, easily pulled as it 
grows two-t.hirus out of the 
ground; wil 1 bear close plant 
ing. The flesh is rich gold¬ 
en yellow, exceedingly nu¬ 
tritious. It is early, hardy, 
and a very heatfy cropper. 
The Golden Tankard has 
quickly taken the lead of all 
other varieties. It contains 
a large percentage of sugar 
and is much relished by 
milch cows and sheep. One 
of the best of keepers. Far¬ 
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 
good size patch. It will be dollars in your pocket. 
Selected seeds in LARGE PACKETS 5 cts. each, 6

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, with 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.
