The cold frame and hotbed in such cases are practically indis- | pensable. It is the purpose of a hotbed to provide bottom heat ora higher temperature to stock growing in it than that of the air outside. The cold frame simply wards off cold winds, keeps off snows, and by absorbing and conserving the heat of _ the sun affords to its contents a higher or milder atmospheric | temperature than that outside. USES. The uses to which both may be put will depend entirely upon the owner’s needs, but they will be found most service- | able for early sowings of vegetable and flower seeds requiring a long season to mature (such vegetables as Cabbage, Cauli- | flower, Celery, Leek, Tomatoes, etc., require early sowing,) for | the transplanting of seedlings prev iously sown in flats or pans / in the house and for the winter protection of young perennials B | or of vegetables for winter use from seed sown in ‘the summer -and transplanted to the frame in the fall. THEarly beets and #} onions may be had; after early crops are off cucumbers, crops delighting in a rich, deep and well- ) drained soil may be satisfactorily grown The soil in the should be well pulverized and raked smooth and level. On warm days the sash should be lifted at the back to provide fresh air and to keep a more or less uniform temperature, one Pe pe ue as in the successful operation of a cold frame or otbe THE HOTBED. j ) @ In preparing a manure bed for the hotbed, a space 10 inches is or a foot larger each way than the dimensions of the frame _should be cleared, and the pile or bed should be carefully and compactly built up on this ebace to a height of 18 inches or 2 HOT-BEDS AND COLD FRAMES CONSTRUCTION AND MANAGEMENT built up. It is a good plan, if the manure is dry, to moisten it slightly, pile it up and allow it to heat for a few days before making the permanent bed. As the bed is being made, the manure should be firmly packed with the fork, and after heat- ing fora few days should be thoroughly and evenly tramped down and given a level surface for the reception of the frame and soil for which it is now ready. MANAGEMENT. The management of the bed in operation requires close at- tention and study. The temperature especially must be dili- gently watched, and air “put on” and “taken off” as occasion demands. Success is largely dependent upon the maintenance of a uniform temperature approximating or a little higher than that of the best outdoor growing weather. Watering and spraying are also important, and the “hardening: off’? process preparatory to setting plants outside requires constant atten- tion and care. Air should be given whenever the weather per- mits. During cold nights the sash should be covered with burlap or straw mats to prevent the temperature from dropping too low. All watering should be done in the morning (prefer- ably with slightly warmed water) so that the plants will be thoroughly dry before night when the glass is lowered; exces- Sive moisture on cold nights very often causes “damping off.” CONSTRUCTION OF THE COLD FRAME. The usual width—that is, from front to back—is 6-ft., and the length, each unit usually not over 12 ft., is some multiple of 3. This is to accommodate the standard size hotbed sash. The height at the back may be 12 to 18 inches, and in front 8 to 14 inches. A. two-by-four tie, flush with the top edges of the front and back boards and preferably carrying a one-by- two strip to separate each sash from the next, is nailed across at 3 foot intervals. Allowance should be made for the thick- ness of the strips as there should be a 3 foot clearance between each strip. Strips at each end will prevent the end sashes from slipping over the sides. The sash can be secured from any sash factory, or can be made by a local carpenter. The sash bars run lengthwise. Six-by-eight glass is used and in glazing the lights’ should overlap each other so as to shed water. The frame, when completed, should be set in some sheltered, well-drained and easily accessible location. Prices of Sash, Glazed and Unglazed, and of Glass, Furnished Upon Request.

In comparing the cost of our Special Lawn Grass with other mixtures sent out by the trade, remember that the actual weight per measured bushel of our mixture is 20 pounds or more, while that of most mixtures is only 14 pounds per bushel. To obtain. this exceptionally heavy weight per bushel, we must and do use only the heaviest and best samples of the various grasses which compose our mixture. This is in itself a guar-= antee against sowing weed seeds, as the heavier the mixture the more thoroughly re- cleaned have been the component grasses. % Ib. 25e (by mail 30¢c); {1 Ib. 45¢ (by mail | 52c); 21% Ibs. $1.05; 5 Ibs. $2.00; 10 Ibs. $3.85; 20 Ibs. $7.50; 50 Ibs. $17.00; 100 Ibs. $33.00.

In our Grass Mixture for Shade we have an ex- cellent combination of those grasses which grow naturally in shady places and under any ordinary circumstances will furnish a close, green, velvety turf during the entire season. However, it is often the case that under trees the ground becomes so impoverished by the action of the multitude of fine tree roots as to render the growing of a nice, close sod of grass almost impossible; in such cases we would recommend a liberal top dressing of Currie’s Complete Fertilizer at the rate of 600 pounds per acre.

Furthermore manure is expensive to buy, costs considerable to put on and as it lies upon the lawn is unsightly and objectionable to the last degree. All the benefits are secured and the objections overcome by using a reliable commercial fertilizer instead. In the garden commercial fertilizers are essential in supplementing the natural fertility of the soil and in bringing crops evenly and rapidly to maturity. It has been shown that a retarded development in the case of both root crops and others results in inferior qualty and is the cause of toughness, stringiness, bitterness, pungency, ete., and that this may be overcome by the use n agent play he athe ing a continuous, rapid growth and early maturity. The natural fertility of the soil, or even the use of stable manure, cannot be depended upon alone. CURRIE’S COMPLETE FERTILIZER should be used on the lawn as a top dressing in the spring just as the grasses are Starting into growth. 1e easiest method of applying is to “broadcast” it by hand. It will be found of great benefit in pro- a nice, healthy growth of turf and in imparting a rich, deep green color to the grass. Two or three applications dur- ason ‘e recommended, although not necessarily essential. CURRIE’S COMPLETE FERTILIZER has been shown to be invaluable for use in the garden. After spading in a liberal amount of stable manure apply, according to crop, at the rate of from 8 to 35 lbs. per 1000 square feet, raking it in well. Where pract most astonl Truck rdeners, who wish to grow maximum and most profitable crops should use this Fertilizer. It will enable them to get their vegetables into the earliest markets and thus secure the advantage of early market prices. ‘able a teaspoonful stirred into the soil around each plant two or three times during the season will give the ng results.

Swiss Chard, 12 CURRIE BROTHERS COMPANY, MILWAUKEE, WIS. CABBAGE All our Cabbage Seeds are saved from care- fully selected stocks, and it is impossible to get better at any price. Culture—Early Cabbage Seed should be sown in hot-beds during February or March. When large enough the plants should be transplanted into cold frames, and as early as the ground is in fit condition they should be planted in the garden, in rows about two feet apart and about 18 inches in the row. The late varieties should be sown about the first of May, and set out in the garden in June and July. As these grow larger than the early va- rieties, they should be planted in rows about three feet apart and about two feet in the row. During the growing season, even in hot-beds various leaf-eating in- sects are likely to attack the plants, de- stroying many if uninterfered with. They may be controlled by applications of a weak mixture of arsenate of lead until the heads have developed to about two-thirds of their normal size, after which a less poisonous insecticide should be applied, such as Hellebcre, Bug-Death or Slug Shot. Prompt and continuous application will insure a good crop. 1 oz. to 4,000 plants, 4 oz. of Seed in beds to transplant upon an acre. FIRST EARLY SORTS.

For late plant- ing the Seed should be sown in May in a cold frame or open ground in soil that is well pulverized. Any good garden soil made rich by manuring, will suit. When the heads begin to form the leaves should be tied together to prevent the flower’s becoming sun- burnt and tough.

The leaves, very closely enfolding the head, give it a particularly attractive ap- pearance when displayed for sale, and as the inner leaves almost cover the snow-white flower the necessity of early tying up as in the case of other early sorts is largely avoided. It is the earliest strain of its type and recommended for Early Snowball Cauliflower, CURRIE’S DANISH MARKET CAULIFLOWER “Dry Weather’—Extra Selected.

Culture—For the successful cultivation of this root the soil should be light (sandy loam is best, enriched the previous year with manure) and deeply tilled. For an early crop the seed should be sown as early as the ground can be properly worked. For later crops it may be sown any time until about the- middle of June. Be careful to compress the soil over the seed after sowing. Sow in rows about 15 inches apart, or for field culture 1% to 2 feet apart, covering the seed about one-half to one inch deep. Keep down weeds. Thin out young plants as soon as they can be handled, leaving them about 4 inches apart. 1 oz. to 100 feet of drill; 3 to 4 Ibs. per acre in drills. Chantenay — The market gardener’s and_ trucker’s favorite. It is an early, very productive, half-long, stump-rooted variety, smooth-skinned, fine in ap- pearance and entirely coreless.

E Culture—Sow the early varieties in a cold-frame, the late sorts in the Is open ground, early in April, and in June and July transplant respectively. | i On the surface of the ground, thoroughly enriched and cultivated before- ie hand lay out lines 8 feet apart, no trenches, as was formerly the custom. | © Set the plants in these rows, about 5 inches apart. Until about the middle ! ; of August the only work to be done is frequent cultivation and watering in B dry weather. Earthing up may then begin- and continue as long as the plants grow, to bleach the stems and render them crisp. Several methods of bleaching early varieties are to be recommended—banking the soil, { inch clay tile, heavy wrapping paper, or boards. The early varieties are best bleached with boards, owing to the disease commonly called rust, which attacks plants about this period, and is avoided by the exclusion of light and air, the celery being ready for use in 15 to 18 days. For late varieties earthing up becomes necessary after Sept. 20th, as frost may ap- u pear any night and destroy the crops, where boards, tile or paper are used. The banking of earth is the best protection against frost. As winter ap- ~ prose nes the banks may be covered with boards and a good covering of eaves. _ a Golden Self-Blanching—Originator’s best French grown stock. Like White fl Plume, this Celery requires very little earthing up and in many other — respects it is similar to it, differing, however, in color, which is yellow- — ish, the heart being large and solid and of a beautiful golden hue.

LIST OF TESTED GARDEN SEEDS FOR 1921. 17 Culture—Corn must have a good rich soil. In the back yard garden where light and air cannot penetrate to the roots readily plant one or two kernels every 6 inches apart and when up thin out to 12 inches, preferably leaving only one plant in each hill. Failures are chiefly attributable to close planting. Sow one to two inches deep and cultivate fairly deep when above ground, gradually reducing depth as the season advances; by so doing the SW EBT CORN larger roots are not cut or disturbed. At the last cultivation it is better to hill rather than to cultivate too close to the plants. One pound to every 250 hills where space is not so limited as a back yard garden, or if sown in rows one pound will suffice for a 200 foot drill or 300 hills. 12 to 15 lbs. per acre. ; EARLY MAYFLOWER—A new variety in the West, but raised in large quantities in some of the Eastern States, where it is by ten days the earliest Sweet Corn grown, and is always the first variety on the market.

Davis Perfect Cucumber. - CUCUMBERS 1 oz. to 100 hills. 2 to 3 Ibs. to the acre in hills. Culture—Do not sow Cucumber Seed in cold soil. Should you want an early crop, start them in flower pots in the hot-bed or indoors, placing five seeds in each and thin out to three plants when well up. When fairly well rooted, transplant into the open, being careful not to disturb the roots as they are very tender. Before moving them they must be hardened off well and the ground must be fairly warm, and if you have a small window-light handy place. it over the plants, mounting same on stones or stakes; this helps to warm the soil. An excellent method of getting a good crop is to place a shovelful of well rotted manure in each hill. Several varieties should be grown, the short-fruited, more prolific sorts for pickling, and the long varie- ties for table use. Plant the hills 4 feet apart. Always pick the fruit when large enough or the vitality of the plant will become impaired. DAVIS PERFECT—Unequalled in quality, shape and color, for forcing indoors, or for outside growing. The color is a dark, glossy green. shape slim and symmetrical, with an average length of 10 to 12 inches. It is as early as White Spine, a strong grower, and very prolific.

PEAS Culture—F or first early Peas sow smooth seeded varieties in a light, rich soil, as early in March or April as the ground can be worked. Sow both smooth and wrinkled seeded varie- ties in April or May for later crops. Discontinue sowing from June to Au- gust, after which, by sow- ing an extra early sort, a good crop can generally be secured. As Peas suffer considerably from drought during the hot summer months, it will be found of great benefit to sow in a trench six inches in depth, covering the Peas to a depth of two inches. As soon as ,sufficient growth has been made, draw the earth about the vines. In this way more moisture is kept about the roots than if sown on the level. The wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the smooth sorts, and should be plant- ed later, owing to their liability to rot in the ground. One pound to 75 feet of drill.

Failure to obtain a profitable crop of Potatoes is attribut- able in many instances to lack of due care in selecting the seed, as the proper selection of Seed in the case of Potatoes is as important as it is in the case of corn, oats, cabbage or any other crop, and saving potato tubers for seed from an inferior strain or a run-out stock is always short-sighted policy and poor economy. The growing of Potatoes of the same strain year after year, especially on the same ground, inevitably re- sults in a run-out stock with a weakened constitution and loss of productivity. Greatly increased yields invariably result from the change to a new and vigorous strain, and the crop on the market commands top-notch prices. Our Seed Potato Stock is carefully grown for seed purposes only and is true and vigorous. Prices given at this time will hold as long as our present supply remains unsold, after which current mar- Ket prices will govern. Our prices will then be based on a fair and reasonable margin of profit, whatever market prices may be. , Ten Bushels Cut Tubers to the Acre.

CORN The Corn we Offer is shelled from selected ears, carefully tipped and graded. We recommend our Wisconsin grown Corn first of all as the best for planting in Wisconsin, but where silage is wanted we have always found Nebraska grown Seed Corn to give entire satisfaction. Our stocks are as represented and are in every way suitable for seeding purposes. SILVER KING—cwis. no. 7). This Corn was originally obtained by the Wisconsin Experiment Station from Northern Iowa, and by a careful selection of the best and earliest ears we now have a White Dent Corn with large ears, small cob and deep kernels, that is suited to our Wisconsin conditions. The ears of this Corn average 8 to 9 inches in length, and are always well filled out to the tips. As a yielder it has no superior. A few years ago the Wisconsin Experiment ‘Station reported a yield of 75 bushels per acre, and since then yields of over 90 bushels have been reported. These are remarkable yields when taking into consideration that the aver- age crop of Corn in Wisconsin is only about 35 bushels per acre.

This Corn is known in Wisconsin as ‘‘Wisconsin No. 8” and in Minnesota as ‘Minnesota No. 13.” It is noted for its early maturity, and can be depended on to ripen anywhere in Wisconsin, or in the same latitude in other states. It has shown its great value as an ideal Northern Wisconsin variety. It makes a fairly large stalk growth, well clothed with leaves. The ears average 7 to 8 inches long.

This variety, a cross between Wisconsin No. 8 and another deeper kerneled, heavier yielding variety, was introduced by Prof. R. A. Moore of the Wisconsin Experiment Station a few years ago, and is especially adapted to the latitude of Central and Southern Wiscon- sin, being somewhat earlier than Wisconsin No. 7. In many extreme northern counties it has matured wonderful yields, and it is therefore one of the best yellow Dent varieties for general use. It is a golden-yellow Dent; ears average 7 to 8 inches in length, symmetrical and well-filled with closely-set deep kernels. Wisconsin Grown, 1 lb. 15c (by mail 22c); peck $1.10; bushel $4.00. Nebraska Grown, 1 lb. 10c (by mail 17c); peck 80c; bushel $2.75. MURDOCK YELLOW DENT A pure yellow, heavy yielding Yellow Dent variety maturing in 85 or 90 days. The ears average well over 8 inches in length, are very uniform in size and shape, and are really very handsome in appearance. It is the earliest yellow Dent next to the Golden Glow and Wisconsin No. 8, yields almost, if not quite as heavily as Silver King, and is a few days earlier in maturing. It produces a strong, vigorous, heavily-leaved stalk, which makes it valuable for silage purposes. Wisconsin Grow'n, 1 lb. 15c (by mail 22c); peck $1.10; bushel $4.00.

Yields two to three ears to the stalk. Furnishes Fodder in the hot, dry summer months. Planted at the same time as other Corn, Currie’s Earliest of All will be ready for use in July. The stalks grow about 6 feet in height, well clothed with leaves with rich feeding qualities. It will not take the place of the large-eared, heavy yielding sorts, but where extreme earliness is desired there is no other variety equal to it. A highly profitable variety to grow in sections where even the earliest of the heavier yielding Dent sorts can- not be depended upon to mature a ccrop. 1 lb. 25c (by mail 32c); peck $1.15; bushel $4.00. KING OF THE EARLIES DENT Color, bright golden yellow. The stalks grow from 6 to 8 feet in height, and are thickly covered with leaves close to the ground, yielding a large amount of excellent fodder. The ears are medium in length, cob very small, closely set with long, deep kernels. This Corn is eminently adapted for planting in the northern limits of the Corn Belt, and will mature a crop in 85 to 95 days. 1 lb. 15c (by mail 22c); peck 70c; bushel $2.75. WHITE CAP YELLOW DENT The Best Corn for the Northwestern Stockman. Unexcelled for Silage. It combines more solid merit than any Corn grown, being suitable for all kinds of soils, but especially suited for poor, thin soil, where it has out-yielded the well-known Leaming by at least 30 per cent. It matures within a few days of Golden Glow and produces much larger ears and a greater bulk of fodder. The grain is deep, flat and closely set together on handsome ears, white at the tip end, balance yellow. Ripens in 90 to 95 days.

This new Barley, disseminated first a few years ago, has demonstrated its marked superiority over all the commonly sown varieties. Like Oderbrucker, it is derived from the Manshury, received originally in 1899 from the Ontario Station at Guelph, and went through a breeding process requiring ten years of careful selection. It has the special merit of stiff straw so that it does not lodge easily, produces a very high yield, malts perfectly and has the advantage of being absolutely pure. The fact that practically all the members of the Wisconsin Experiment Station Association now grow Pedigree Barley is a strong indication of the high value placed upon this variety by the progressive farmers of the state. Per peck 60c; bushel $2.00; 5 bushels and over $1.90 per bushel. ODERBRUCKER BARLEY—WISCONSIN No. 55. The Wisconsin Standard Barley Introduced by the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station in 1906, at the Time the Heaviest Yielding and Plumpest 6-Rowed Barley Ever Introduced into the United States. Oderbrucker, originally secured from the Ontario Ex- periment Station, was one of the first of the new strains developed at the Wisconsin Experiment Station, and so pronounced are its superior qualities, that it is now one of the standard Barleys in this and neighboring states. It yields from 5 to 10 bushels more per acre than any of the old varieties, is unusually good for malting purposes, and on ac- count of its high protein content, nearly double that of other varieties, it is an exceedingly fine feeding Barley. It is rust resistant, has a plump, very heavy kernel, and the stiffness of its straw is unusual, Per peck 60c; bushel $2.00; 5 bushels and over $1.90 per bushel. WHITE HULLESS BARLEY. It has No Beards or Hulls. It is Early and Gives Enormous Yields. Nothing to Equal it as a Hog Food. This remarkable Barley is more like a very plump, hard wheat, re- markably solid, weighing over 60 Ibs. to the bushel. It is extremely early, and on this account is invaluable in the northern tier of states, where corn does not ripen well. It is an enormous cropper, yielding from 50 to 60 bushels per acre of grain, possessing feeding qualities superior to other Barley.

Per peck 75c; bushel $2.60; 5 bushels and over $2.50 per bushel. OATS SUPERIOR RE-CLEANED STOCK. WISCONSIN PEDIGREE OATS. A new variety developed at the Wisconsin Experiment Station from a variety called Wisconsin Wonder and offered generally in 1913 for the first time. It is a pure white variety, rather earlier than Swedish Select, and better adapted to rich soils, its especially stiff straw making it much less liable to lodge. It is a tremendous cropper, outyielding any sorts now grown here, and the grain is of good size, thin-hulled, heavy and fine appearing, in shape a little longer and more pointed than Swedish Select. Sow at the rate of 2% to 3% bushels per acre. Per peck 35c; bushel $1.10; 5 bushels and over $1.00 per bushel. SWEDISH SELECT OATS. (Wis. No. 4.) Introduced by the U. S. Department of Agriculture a few years ago and further de- veloped under the direction of Prof. Moore of the Wisconsin Experiment Station. Its good points are earliness, yield, fine appearance of grain, stiffness of straw and freedom from rust and smut. It appears to be best adapted to high land, the best returns being obtained On clay loam. Yields as high as 85 bushels per acre have been secured in this state. Per peck 35c; bushel $1.10; 5 bushels and over $1.00 per bushel. LINCOLN OATS. An early, unusually heavy yielding, clear white Oats, comparing well. with the best sorts grown in the northwest and lately become very popular. Its thin hull and solid meat makes it particularly valuable for feeding and for the manufacture of oatmeal. It does not lodge easily, as its straw is strong and stiff; it is rust resistant and stools out remark- abiya ‘i the heavy yields.

It is a week to 10 days earlier than Red Fife or any other sort, and yields 5 to 10. bushels more per acre, the grain being flinty, short, wide, plump and deep amber in color. The heads are very heavy, and the stalk stout and shorter than Red Vife. Beardless, except for a few short awns at the top. Peck 90c; bushel $3.25; 5 bushels or over at $3.10 per bushel. ‘ MINNESOTA No. 169 SPRING WHEAT. The only Wheat awarded a “Grand Prize” (the highest possible award) at the Worlds Fair, St. Louis, 1904. In 1902 the result of trials made by 89 farmers in Minnesota showed the average yield of Minnesota No. 169 Wheat to be 18 per cent. more than any other: variety of Wheat. De- veloped from Haynes’ Blue Stem and first sent out by the Minnesota Experiment Station ‘in 1902. In comparative trials its average yield has been found to be 18 per cent. more than, any other sort on the same soil. Its milling and baking qualities have been thoroughly tested and found equal to the best of the older and well-known sorts generally grown in the large wheat produc- ing sections. Peck 90c; bushel $3.25; 5 bushels or over at $3.10 per bushel. DURUM OR MACARONI (Variety Kubanka). The Most Valuable Wheat for Dry and Semi-Arid Sections, Yielding Heavy Crops Where Other Sorts Fail. Durum Wheat is particularly adapted to dry and semi-arid districts, being extremely re- sistant of drought, the attack of fungus pests, rust and smut, always furnishing an excellent hard grain. Enormous yields of Durum Wheat are reported from Kansas, Dakota, Nebraska and the ex- treme Western States, in some instances reaching 80 bushels per acre, Again and again during recent years there have been reports of crops of Blue Stem Wheat in North Dakota not worth - harvesting, while in the adjoining fields Durum Wheat yielded close to 80 bushels per acre. It is now considered a Wheat of the highest class, ranking with Hard Spring and Hard Winter Wheat in its milling and baking qualities. Peck 90c; bushel $3.25; 5 bushels or over at $3.10 per bushel, RYE Rye is a crop that should be more extensively grown by all our farmers. It is a paying crop, even on poor, sandy soils. It is also a very valuable crop with which to seed down grasses, Spring—This Rye is invaluable as a catch crop for sowing where winter wheat has failed. Peck 75¢e; bushel $2.75. Wisconsin Pedigree Rye No. 1—A strain of winter Rye secured after a dozen years of the most careful selective breeding at the Wisconsin Mxperiment Station. It was developed from ‘“Pet- kus,” but the new grain outyields even that fine, heavy yielding sort. The straw is very long, _ strong and stiff, not lodging readily even on rich soils, the kernel is uniformly very large and plump heads of unusual length. A year or two ago the average yield reported by the mem- bers of the Experiment Station was 8.7 bushels per acre more than the average yield of com- mon Winter Rye. Yields of 40 to 50 bushels per acre are very common. ,Peck 65c; bushel $2.50. FIELD PEAS FOR FEEDING. Canadian Field Peas can be very profitably sown along with oats and either eaten off the field by cattle or hogs, or allowed to ripen, when they can be readily separated by any farm seed mill. In this way two crops can be grown at the one cultivation. Sow broadcast, if alone, 3 bushels of Peas per acre (60 Ibs. to the bushel), or in combination 1% bushels of Peas to 1% bushels of Oats, mixed, to the acre, i : Canadian White—Per 100 1DS.... 0... ee ce eee ee tte teens ai cheteneteusie Slapaholelelaveisteloleieta isin seas, Canadian Blue—Per 100 lbs..................

STRICTLY CHOICE DOMESTIC. Alfalfa is a crop of inestimable value. It may be cut 3 to 4 times a season, each cutting bringing enormous yields (10 tons and more) of sweet nutritious forage much relished by all kinds of stock. It is an ex- cellent solling crop and makes the best of hay when properly treated, being in itself the nearest approach of any farm product to a perfect ration. The Seed should be sown broadcast at the rate of 15 to 25 pounds per acre, and seeding may take place from about the middle of April, or = earlier, should the ground be in good con- dition, until late in August or September, without a nurse Or cover crop. The soil must be deep, rich and well-drained, and the seed-bed well prepared. The in- oculation of the seed with a commercial culture such as “Standard Inoculating Bacteria’ (see below), im- mediately before sowing will materially assist in the distance below the surface.

Legumes, if in- oculated, will develop on their roots small protuberances, called nodules. These no- dules take nitrogen from the air and sup- ply it to the plant. Nitrogen is one of the most necessary and most expensive of all the chemical elements entering into plant growth. Modern farmers therefore grow their nitrogen, grow it with legume crops. But legumes can not take nitrogen from the air unless there are nodules on the roots, and nodules do not ordinarily de- velop unless the germs-.are artificially placed on the roots. Placing these germs is called inoculation. Standard Inoculating Bacteria is a cul- ture of living germs, grown direct from nodules taken from the roots of legume plants. The germs are shipped in amber bottles to exclude the light, with glass cot- ton plugged air tubes to supply air to the germs. This bacteria is then mixed with water and the seeds are sprinkled before planting. This places the germs right on the incipient root of the plant where it be- longs, and inoculation is sure and certain. Remember there is a separate germ for every legume—one for each of the clovers, for alfalfa, soy beans, garden beans, peas, vetch, etc., etc. When ordering state crop to be inocu- lated.

Peas in separate colors as follows: White, Pink, Deep Rose, Scarlet, Lavender, Pink and White, White Striped Salmon, and one packet of the Giant Flowered Spencer Incomparable Mixed. = ~ SWEET PEAS BEAUTIFUL, FRAGRANT, FASHIONABLE. The truly wonderful development of the Spencer class of Sweet Peas since the creation or discovery of “Countess Spencer” a few years ago, is one of the marvels of the whole history of floriculture. There are now literally hundreds of distinct and partially distinct varieties, and these have displaced all but a dozen or so of the best of the old-type sorts, the so-called Grandifloras. Some of the latter we offer, as they seem better able to adapt themselves to ad- verse conditions than many of the Spencers, but in size and shape of flowers, coloring and substance, length and strength of stem and other attributes the Spencer so far outdistances the older type that there is no comparison. Our Spencer list includes a discriminating selection from the best sorts, em- bracing all the leading colors and shades. Sowings of Sweet Peas should be made in well prepared ground as early as it can be worked. They should not, however, be grown two successive sea- sons on the same ground. It will be found a most excellent plan to make a trench about 6 inches deep, in which plant the Seeds, covering at first to a depth vance in growth; this will greatly aid the plants to withstand our hot summers. Never allow them to run to Seed, as once in the Seed pod stage they are finished for the season. The more you cut, the greater the quantity of blooms they will produce. Late fall planting of Sweet Peas is now fre- quently practiced, with much success even in the Northern States. Earlier flowers and a more vigor- ous growth result. The soil should be sandy and well drained, and sowings should be made in No- vember, when it is no longer likely that the young plants will come through the ground. Sow thinly three or four inches deep and tamp the soil firmly over the Seeds, mounding it up over the rows so as to shed surplus water. After the ground freezes cover with straw, leaves or manure for the winter, drawing back the covering on warm days in early spring but keeping it alongside for use in case of a return of freezing weather.

After the ground has been plowed with the Wheel Hoe Plow or spaded, this Pulverizer will be found of great value in smoothing and fining the soil surface, putting it in the best possible condition for planting seeds. It is much more thorough and rapid in its work than an ordinary garden rake, thoroughly pul- verizing lumpy soil. The rear blade cutting 13% inches levels the ground perfectly.. After the crops are started, it may be used between the rows as a weeder or as a crust breaker, leaving a fine mulch. It is a great tool for the small garden, while the vegetable grower will find many uses for it, especially in overhead irrigation under the laterals. Works equally well forwards or backwards.

The plow may be used for plow- ing the ground in the Spring, going twice in each furrow. Later it will open furrows for fertilizer or for i planting, covers them, and plows i FIRE-FLY GARDEN PLOW Packed weight, lbs.
