POT GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 
During July, August and September, we will 
supply pot grown plants of most standard varie¬ 
ties at the following prices. We like to know 
your wants in this line as far ahead as possible. 
Price, 25 for $1; 100, $2.50; 1000, $20. 
TRANSPLANTED STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 
For planting in Date June and July. Nothing 
equals our transplanted strawberry plants. We 
take up plants from the beds in April and heel 
them in by themselves, closely together, keeping 
them watered and sprayed. These plants when 
taken up to transplant, do not suffer the set back 
that ordinary plants do, but start and grow right 
along. We will supply all such plants at an 
advance over regular prices of 50c per 100; $3.50 
per 1000. This extra charge is made to cover 
cost of heeling in. and extra pains in taking up. 
They are more than worth the extra cost. 
CHOICE SEED POPCORN. 
1914 is the year to plant popcorn. I believe it 
will be a good corn year. The past two years 
have been hard ones for corn. Our field corn has 
been a failure and it has been hard for us to 
even get a few messes of sweet corn. The only 
corn that has anywhere near matured is the 
Admiral Dewey Popcorn. The past year, we 
planted a good piece of this corn June 20th. It 
w'as extremely dry all summer. The corn strug¬ 
gled and finally was doing fine when a hard freeze 
struck it September lOth, killing it to the ground. 
We let it stand to mature the ears and were sur¬ 
prised to gather a pretty good crop. We know 
[U 
of no other corn that will mature a crop under 
such unfavorable circumstances. The stalks are 
dwarf, but produce two to three ears on every 
stalk. The ears are small, but well filled out 
with small kernels and every kernel w’ill pop. 
It is sure to grow. You will be pleased with 
this popcorn. Price. 10c per ear; 6 ears for 26c, 
postpaid; peck, $1; bushel. $3.50. 
A NEW VARIETY OF OATS. 
“PULASKI.” 
I have named this new* oat after my home 
town. It is the result of a lifetime spent by a 
Swedish, expert in breeding new kinds of oats. 
It may not be generally knowm, but Sweden pro¬ 
duces nearly all the new and desirable varieties 
of oats. This oat was picked out by an American 
expert, who was traveling that country, as the 
best oat to be found. We guarantee that there 
is no better oat in the w'orld, and as every farmer 
knows that it pays to sow new seed every few 
years, it certainly will pay you to invest in this 
variety. The oats are very large, meaty, and the 
heaviest oats we ever saw. Price, $1.50 per 
bushel; 10 bushels, $12,50; sacks free. Good 
sample, 10c. 
FRESH PICKED FRUITS. 
W’e w’ill supply fresh picked berries as follows: 
Strawberries in June and July, 12 to 15c per qt.; 
Raspberries, Blackberries, Currants and Goose¬ 
berries in July and August, 10 to 15c per qt., 
except Red Raspberries, which are 20 to 25c per 
qt. Fall bearing Strawberries In August. Septem¬ 
ber and October, 25c per qt.; $6.40 per crate. 
Crates hold 32 quarts each. Cherries in July, 10 
to 15c per qt. Plums. Pears and Apples in Sep¬ 
tember and October, at market prices. Correspond 
w'ith us early for prices. 
THE BULL MOOSE POTATO. 
I bought this potato in March of 1913. The 
whole stock was thirty bushels. I named it Bull 
Moose because the name is suggestive. It is a 
winner. I procured it in the same section where 
originated the Hastings. I sold a few bushels, let 
out some on contract, and planted 12 bushels 
myself. The season was terribly dry from the 
time that I planted them until near digging time 
in October. They were planted three feet apart 
each w'ay and cultivated both ways. They were 
sprayed with Bordeaux. They were frequently 
cultivated, but had only one hand hoeing. A 
hard freeze September 10th killed the vines to 
the ground. Had frost held off one month later, 
I believe there would have been one-half more 
potatoes. When we begun to dig them, in October. 
I never was more surprised. They were the best 
crop of potatoes I ever saw raised under such 
unfavorable circumstances, no rain to any account 
from the day they were planted until killed down 
by frost. As they were planted June 8th, you 
will see that it was just about 90 days they had 
to grow in. We harvested 280 bushels from the 
12 planted, and there were few small ones. It 
was by far the best crop of potatoes grown in 
Oswego County this year. Most all potatoes 
W’ere a failure hereabouts this year, and our crop 
attracted a great deal of attention, and many 
farmers came to see them. With what we grew 
ourselves and had grown under contract, we have 
about 400 bushels to sell. Price, 25c for average 
tuber: 50c for large selected tuber. Peck, $1; 
bu.shel, $3; 10 bushels. $25. See our offer in cata¬ 
logue which still holds good. 
THE HASTINGS POTATO. 
This variety originated about 14 miles from us 
in a peculiar manner. A lady by the name of 
Tackley sowed some tomato seeds in the winter, 
and this potato came up among the tomato seeds 
and was planted out in the garden where it was 
nursed ahd watched, and finally asserted Itself. 
I heard of It after the son of the originator had 
tried it out for several years, named it the Hast¬ 
ings. and placed it upon the market. Some of the 
seedsmen who list it call it the Farmer Hastings 
Potato. It has done much to advertise me and 
my business. I have sold It from Maine to Cali¬ 
fornia, and it gives almost universal satisfaction. 
It is a very vigorous grower, and must be given 
more than ordinary room. It often bears seed 
balls, and some of my customers have raised fine 
seedlings from It. The yield is immense. At its
