joy everywhere in America, that
these new articles should possess the
same high standard of quality. The
prestige of the firearms would nat
urally be affected by the hardware
articles bearing the same name.
For like reason the company Sc
lected it's representatives. 1t could
not afford to let its past reputation
and future welfare rest in the hands
of disinterested jobbers. The new
lines must have every chance to reach
the people under favorable condi-
tions. it is the proof of the high
standing of any merchant to repre-
sent 1t in such well planned and
gigantic enterprise.

counter, where the office lady can
hand out package in second and
go on with her work, it is joy to us
to supply them, provided people call
for them promptly while we have
them on display. We shall not keep
them on the counter all the year, but
just a week or two right away now.
You may not get all the kinds men,

early and request certain kinds men,
toned, there will be some for you,
and the office lady will be glad to
select just what you wish.
If you write for seeds, we feel
more certain that you are the kind
of person who will appreciate them,
if you send a stamp to carry them
back to yourself. But If you are off
the mail line and have no stamps,
just get a message to us any way
you can and we will be the more
tickled to mail them to you because
you are in some out-of-the-way place
and you need them more.
guess l have distributed some
thing less than ten million flower
seeds in this county, and all of them
hardy and acclimated, and don't
see many flowers when drive over
the country in summer. Think you
had better try again and be more
careful of the seeded and keep it
moist without pouring water on top
Of the bed in the windy days Of
spring. These dainty seeds are much
more difficult to sprout than beet
seed and you may have to do little
tinkering to keep, the moisture right.
The peas and hollyhocks are hardy,
but keep the water off Of the top Of
the seeded.
Cut this out and save it If you are
going to get seeds. And you had
better hurry.

ing at or writing to The Republican
office.
The seeds we are talking about are
perennial peas (not sweet peas)
delphiniums, coreopsis, hollyhocks
sweet Williams and they will all
grow and bloom If you get them into
good soil and give nature a chance.
They are all perennials land by that
is meant that they grow up each year
from the root. Perennials do not
usually bloom until the second year,
but you can depend on them after
that provided you prepare a proper
seed bed, and don't be afraid Of pull
verifying the bed too deep. It can't
be done. Digging down a few inches
and planting some seeds does not
make a flower garden for hundred
years. It takes more care than that.

ware company was picked as the
Winchester store" for Blackfoot and
surrounding territory.
Every dealer who took on the new
line bought stock in the Winchester
company, so that he might have a
vital interest in it's development. In
various districts of the country meet
ings of these dealers were called and
an organization formed. Mr.. Boyle
attended the district meeting at Salt
Lake City and was elected president
of the association.
The Winchester company had been
famous for generations for it's fire.
arms. There was personal feeling
among pioneers, hunters and all out
door men in general towards the
Winchester rifle, and in progressing
to other lines the company did not
wish to lose this element of loyalty.
1t was necessary to gain for the
added lines the same reputation that
Winchester rifles, repeating shot
guns and ammunition continue to en-

Listen while we tell you, II you are
not accustomed to raising flowers.
Perennial peas send down tap
root like alfalfa only larger. Then
1t sends down some more. Make
room for them. Dig place fully as
large as a candy bucket and it will
be better If you dig two or three feet
deep and fill in with the best soil
you can find. Do not fill in with clay
and hard pan and gravel just because
you happen to dig that stuff out of
the hole. Give the plant rich loan
to work with and it will reward you.
Place it where it can have something
to cling to, for it is going to grow
up about six or eight feet high by the
third year, and be loaded whit rgeat
clusters of bloom about the size of
clusters of grapes, and they will
bloom for weeks. This plant has no
'antenae" and by that is meant
clingers. You-have to furnish it
something to rest its elbows on to
keep from sinking, like a boy that
can't swim. Every spring it will
build new plant, or bush, and it
may not need any attention for
several years excepting the irriga-
ton, but it will always reward you
more generously If you fertilize it.
You can do this by pouring liquid
manure on 1t, pale like weak coffee,
at intervals Of a few weeks. Don't
give it much Of this until it is a year
old. Perennial pease will not start
your hay fever like sweet peas, and
they are as beautiful and last longer.
The seeds are round and about the
size of buckshot.
Delphiniums grow tall and slender
and send out spindling branches.

Boyle Hardware
Is Winchester Store

| One of the big interesting out
comes of the war in American bust
ness has been the organization of the
Winchester chain of stores to market
the products of the Winchester COM
pany which found itself so much ex-
banded by war efforts that it had to
either cut down it's productive scale
or go on with other lines than fire
arms. 1t chose to 60 into hardware
manufacturing, tools, cutlery, skates,
fishing tackle and flashlights, in adj
dition to rifles, shotguns and ammu-
milton.
Instead of throwing these commod-
iities on the national market and leav-
ing the rest to a general sales effort
| to interest wholesalers and jobbers
this company decided to choose its
own retail stores and to thus govern
the distribution of its wares, making
sure of the best dealers in every COM

The bloom is very dainty and beatu-
full, having some of the tints of the
alfalfa bloom. but far surpasses 1t
and is set off with some fine art work
that a botanist could describe. Ye
editor never took" botany--had to
take to a slip" scraper instead; so
raise your delphiniums and see 'em.
They do not root deep like the peas,
but you must give them rich loan II
you expect them to flourish. The
seeds we have for you grew on un-
usually tall plants so they say. One
of them measured nine feet six
inches, but you need not feel dis
couraged if they grow only four feet,
and you need not be surprised If
yours grow ten feet-you may be a
wizard. The seeds are triangular
and chaffy, nearly black.
Sweet Williams grow two or three
feet high, and l think, have to be
planted every spring. The seeds are
very small, dark brown and triangu-
lar, almost chaffy like the dolphin
iums, and they all look about like
coarse coffee grounds.
Coreopsis seeds are round on one
side and fiat or cup-shaped on the
other. They are black, and mixed
with chaff that is light brown. The
plants grow from eighteen inches to
two feet high, are dainty yellow,
and are round and about the size of
a quarter dollar.
Hollyhock seeds are dark and fat.
You probably don't care much for
hollyhocks, but you better raise
row Of them for others to look at.
Ours are of all colors, and they make
q fine windbreak for the more dainty
flowers. They are so brilliant they
will flag train If they have chance.
Nearly all the trains stop opposite
our house when the hollyhocks are in
bloom. I.
The reason I am telling you about
these seeds and how they look, is
that am mixing them up in the same
envelopes. Some of the packages are
printed to show just what they con-
tain, and some of them are not. I
have sometimes had a notion to quit
fixing up seeds for free distribution
to the public. because-Shall tell
it? Well, some times a flock of
children come in and break out with,
II want some flowers. Is this all we
git?" And then some dear soul who
doesn't seem to know a flower from
a horne's nest, comes in and shuffles
the packages to find which one is the
largest, and wants us to stand around
quite a while telling her all about
how to raise flowers, and after we
have done it, she starts in again in
a way that shows she doesn't know
anything we have just told her.

packing seeds for people who cut out
