Wood^s Selected Irish Cobblers 
They are not certified, but fine stock generally grown from certi¬ 
fied seed. Certification adds to the cost, so these non-certifled Cob¬ 
blers can be sold at a lower price. They are first-rate stock and in 
every way dependable.

Wood^s Virginia 2nd Crop Cobblers 
Pedigree Stock Grown from Certified Seed 
The experience of practically all large potato growers, an expe¬ 
rience covering several years, proves conclusively that Virginia 
Second Crop potatoes, raised as a second crop from certified 
Maine-grown stock, make larger yields and are stronger growers 
than Northern grown potatoes. They are smaller than Maine 
grown, cut to better advantage, and are more economical to plant. 
Our stock was grown in the best potato growing section in Vir¬ 
ginia. We planted certified potatoes that had been grown under 
the rigid rules of the Maine Experiment Station, had been in¬ 
spected when growing and after being harvested, and certified by 
them as true Irish Cobblers and free from disease. They are not 
as large as Maine-grown potatoes, but are just the size for cut¬ 
ting into two pieces, .and will go further in planting than larger 
potatoes. 
We recommend Virginia Second Crop Cobblers in the highest 
terms. Reports from practically all the Atlantic Coastal States 
indicate larger yields are being made from Virginia Second Crop 
Potatoes than from seed produced further north. They are slight¬ 
ly later in maturity than Maine-grown seed. By mall postpaid,

er than northern grown, stronger grower and, on account of its 
size, more economical to plant. The seed potatoes are not as 
large as northern grown, but are just the right size for planting 
whole or cut in two pieces, and will plant further than larger 
potatoes. By mail postpaid, y^ peck 65o; peck $1.05; 14 bushel

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES 
Every hog raiser should grow artichokes, for they come year 
after year; the hogs will harvest them without cost, will fatten 
on them, and they will keep the hogs in fine condition—it is 
claimed that artichokes prevent hog cholera. They are grown 
just like potatoes; cut them two eyes to the piece, and plant 2 
Inches deep, 15 to 18 inches apart in 3 to 314 -foot rows. In the fall 
when they have matured, turn the hogs among them and they 
will feed on them all winter except when the ground is wet 
or frozen. They 
are more cheap¬ 
ly grown and 
more productive 
than potatoes, 
averaging 300 to 
400 bushels to the 
acre. 
Although grown 
principally for 
hogs, they are 
fine food for cat¬ 
tle, sheep and 
horses; for dairy 
cattle it is claim¬ 
ed they are nearly 
equal to bran as 
milk producers. 
Plant during March or April, the earlier the better; they will 
stand considerable drought and extreme cold, and can be planted 
earlier than potatoes. They grow well on any well-drained soil 
without much attention, and one planting does for several years.

^Ill 1C A C Almonds 
or Grass Nuts 
With the increasing Interest in hog-raising in the South, there 
should be a corresponding increasing interest in hog-feeding 
crops that are about equal 
to corn in feeding value, 
and that can be fed cheap¬ 
er. Hogs not only fatten 
quickly on them, but the 
meat is sweeter than when 
corn-fed; some claim it is 
equal to that cf peanut- 
fed hogs. 
Any land suitable for 
corn, cotton or peanuts 
will make a profitable crop 
of chufas, but they do best 
on light sandy soils. Plant 
from April 1st till July 1st 
in 2% to 3-foot rows, drop¬ 
ping three to five chufas 
together, 15 tc 18 inches 
apart in the row, and cover 
2 inches deep. In the fall 
pull a few plants with the 
roots and give your hogs 
and poultry a taste, and 
they will go over the en¬ 
tire field and will attend to 
the harvesting. 1 to 114 
pecks plant an acre. By 
mail postpaid, 5 lbs. 90c;
