The color is a serenely pure shell pink, in flowers which are full petaled, deep, and unusually large, yet artistically graceful in the feathery effect of the inter- lacing petals. Loosely arranged’ in a tall pewter vase the long stemmed flowers lend a*feeling of quiet dignity to any decorative arrangement. In the annual border or ~ cut flower bed in the garden, they stand majestically above their fellow asters, and show up to best advantage when combined with a planting of the Blue Lace Flower, Didiscus.

Currie’s Novelties and Specialties in Flower Seeds ANTIRRHINUM MAJESTIC— (Super Giant Snapdragons ) Majestic Antirrhinums are characterized by having the largest possible florets closely spaced in large spikes on a medium tall plant. The flowers are the largest of any type, with far better spacing than that found in any other type. They have been proven the best for both cut flower and border use and will, no doubt, supersede the other strains when a complete color range has been developed. So far, the colors run principally to the orange and terra cotta shades, which are, of course, favorites in Antirrhinums. Majestic Eldorado Deep Golden Yellow................

The hybrids come in a brilliant assortment of showy daisy-like flowers predominating in orange and bronzy red shades, but also comprising many lovely shades of rose, cream, yellow and salmon. In the milder climates they may be classed as a perennial, but in the northern latitudes they are better treated as an annual. They flower within six months from seed, and bloom profusely through the hot summer season. Pkt., 15ce. ARMERIA LAUCHEANA—(Dwarf Thrift) Most of us know the Giant Thrift, but we have not yet become so familiar with the dwarf strain. Laucheana is a very free flowering, dwarf variety, with medium sized flower heads of deep rose. They combine very nicely with Forget-me-nots in the rockery or dwarf border. Pkt., 10c. AGERATUM BLUE CAP Undoubtedly the best dwarf Ageratum, the flowers are much larger than Little Blue Star and of a deeper and richer color, it is very dwarf and compact in growth. The foliage is small and the plants have the appearance of miniature domes, just the thing for edging of flower borders. Pkt., 15e. ANCHUSA ANNUAL BLUE BIRD Plants grow about 18 inches high and bear its flowers in a luxuriant bouquet at the top of the plant and are of a vivid indigo blue and form a brilliant effect in any scheme for the decorations of beds or borders.

Many improve- ments have been made on Calendulas, but no other origina- tion can begin to compare with this lovely new-comer from far-off Australia. The large flowers are an exquisite shade of clear buttercup yellow, with long loosely arranged petals, which droop to give the rounded appearance found in our favorite Chrysanthemums. Besides adding a bright golden splash of color to the garden, Chrysantha is a fine cutting variety, with long stiff stems, well adapted to combine with other flowers, such as blue delphinium, in bowls or vases. Pkt., 20c. NEW ANNUAL CANTERBURY BELLS Many years of careful selection have at last given us an Annual Canterbury Bell which blooms from seed in less than six months. It should now be possible to have this beautiful flower in bloom at almost any time of the year. The plant- grows from two to two and a half feet tall, each plant having from six to eight spikes of blooms. We offer this in mixture, containing the following colors: dark blue, light blue, pink, rose and white. Pkt., 25c. NEW CANDYTUFT MINIATURE GEM (HYACINTH FLOWERED TYPE).

They are very effective when used as a border or as a ground cover in the rose garden. Pkt., 10c. DIANTHUS, SWEET WIVELSFIELD This new annual is a hybrid, being a cross between Dianthus Alwoodi and Sweet William; seed started indoors in January and planted out in April will commence to flower in May, blossoming profusely all summer in a great variation of colors. Pkt., 15c; 50c per large pkt. DIANTHUS “HIGHLAND QUEEN” The most brilliant perennial Dianthus in cultivation, bearing in profusion flowers of a lustrous scarlet vermilion color, which captivates the beholder at first sight. It is extremely hardy, of vigorous growth, and ideal for bedding, borders and the rock garden, continuing in bloom, as it does, from the end of May until November. Pkt., 25c. GAILLARDIA BURGUNDY Burgundy is the darkest and most brilliant of all perennial gaillardias. It is coppery scarlet self color, similar to Indian Chief in the annual varieties. If started early indoors, flowers may be produced the first season from seed, after which the plants will bloom profusely throughout the Sener ont hs: t., 20c. NEW LUPINUS HARTWEGII GIANTS MIXED A new improved strain of Annual Lupinus. Hartwegii Giants are from three to four feet tall or one to one and a half feet taller than the Lupinus Hartwegii type. Hartwegii Giants have the base branching habit, with four to six long spikes to a plant. Hach spike has from twenty-five to fifty more blooms than the Hartwegii type. The blooms are also a little larger. The leaves are about one and'a half times as large, making a very handsome plant. Colors include dark blue, sky blue, rose and white. We feel confident that this new strain will increase the popularity of this fine Annual Lupine, so easily and quickly grown from seed. Pkt., 15c. Lupine Page 4 CURRIE BROTHERS CO. MILWAUKEE, WIS. Currie’s Novelties and Specialties in Fiower Seeds Larkspur Blue Bell LEPTOSYNE STILLMANII To many, this variety is entirely new. Although somewhat similar to Maritima, the Sea Dahlia, this variety is a much earlier flowering and dwarfer sort. The plants are covered with masses of the medium sized golden yellow daisy-like flowers over a long season of time. They are fine for borders or dwarf beds and for cutting, and are good sub- jects for forcing in the greenhouse. Pkt., 10c. LARKSPUR GIANT IMPERIAL BLUE BELL Blue Bell is a fine medium blue larkspur, deeper than sky blue, yet much lighter than lilac, a color up to this time lacking in the giant imperial type. The type is decidedly upright, with long basal branched fiowering spikes, well adapted for cutting. Pkt., 20c. LARKSPUR GIANT IMPERIAL LOS ANGELES IMPROVED This is the same color as that popular stock flowered variety, Los Angeles, but in the vastly improved giant imperial type. It is the best of this type on the market. For greenhouse use, or where a tall, compact growing strain is wanted in the garden, this variety is preferable. The spikes are long and without side branches, making it an excellent kind for cutting. The color is a brilliant rose on salmon. Pkt., 20c. PANSY ENGELMANN’S STRAINS Nowhere are pansies more loved or better understood than in England, the home of Mr. Engelmann. In the Engelmann establishment an infinite amount of care is taken to produce nothing but the finest types of extra large pansies in a great variety of shades. The Special Strain is the old Scottish Show type, reselected to a strain of immense fiowers, in the bronze and reddish shades. The Giant Strain has a wide range of colors, both dark and light. Both strains are compact and early flowering. Pkt., 50c. MARIGOLD GUINEA GOLD Guinea Gold!—bringing thoughts of Spanish doubloons and buried riches, a treasure chest for your garden!—and what a prize we have in this Marigold. Brighter than any treasure the pirates ever dreamed of, the masses of lovely blossoms cascade down the sides of the plant in a pyramid of flowing gold. Arranged in a jet black or cobalt blue bowl, Guinea Gold can scarcely be surpassed for decorative effect in any part of the house, especially as the characteristic marigold odor has almost entirely disappeared. Pkt., 15c. PETUNIA NANA COMPACTA PINK GEM This is the first of a charming new race of miniature Petunias. It forms a neat compact plant five to six inches high, literally smothered with deep pink blooms. A plant eight inches in diameter will carry as many as twenty-five to thirty blooms in flower at one time. Individual blooms are two inches in diameter. This miniature Petunia will be indispensable for borders, window boxes, pots, rock gardens and for bedding. Planted with a dwarf blue Ageratum, the effect is most charming. Pkt., 35c. PETUNIA NANA COMPACTA MIXED Introducing a new strain of Dwarf Compact Petunias. While there has always been in existence one or two varieties of Petunias that could be classed as Dwarf Compact, this is the first time that a complete mixture with a well balanced range of color has ever been offered in a Dwarf Compact Mixture. Each plant in this mixture forms a perfect ball effect from eight to ten inches high and about twelve inches in diameter. Each plant in this mixture is a perfect symmetrical specimen and represents the result of many years of careful selection through a group of colors representing deep rose, rose-pink, pink, pale pink, crimson, white, and striped effects in all these colors. As a mixture it is well balanced in all the colors and it has been highly praised by all visiting seedsmen. We strongly recommend this improved strain for use wherever Petunias are needed—in pots, window boxes, borders, beds, and they are even suitable for rock gardens. Pkt., 25c. CURRIE BROTHERS CO. MILWAUKEE, WIS. Page 5 Currie’s Novelties and Specialties in Flower Seeds VERBENA BEAUTY OF OXFORD HYBRIDS For many years the non- seeding variety, Beauty of Ox- ford, has been a favorite Ver- bena. This new strain is the nearest approach in a seeding variety to the bright deep rose pink shade of Beauty of Oxford. The flowers are large and freely produced on plants which hold their shape well at all times. Pkt., 25c. VERBENA HYBRIDA COMPACTA TYPE— Edging Verbenas These are distinct from all other types of Verbena, very compact, dwarf, and free flower- ing. The color range is very wide, in bright shades. They are excellent for the annual rock garden in a sunny position, for borders or edgings, or for win- dow boxes or pots. Pkt., 15c. VERBENA ROYAL BOUQUET MIXED As the name suggests, this type is excellent for cutting. The plants are definitely upright in habit, several 10 to 12 inch stalks to a plant, each bearing full clusters of the large starry eyed flowers at the tip. They are fine for pot culture, as well as cutting. The colors comprise a full range of the brighter shades. Pkt., 15c. SCABIOSA CAUCASICA ISAAC HOUSE STRAIN—(Blue Bonnets ) This is a very greatly improved strain over the ordinary scabiosa caucaSica. The flowers are sur- prisingly large, gracefully fringed and ruffled, in shades of blue ranging from very dark shades through the midblues to lavender. During the hot months of June and July, when most flowers look rather wilted from the heat, these hybrids are unaffected by the temperature and make a fine showing in the garden, or for cut flower use. Pkt., 25c. URSINIA ANETHOIDES One of the most charming flowers we have received from the Cape. Like most all African natives, it likes a sunny place in the garden, and will bloom profusely all through the season. The flowers are daisylike, single, medium sized, in color brilliant orange with a deep purple center zone, remaining open till dusk. They are fine for cutting as well as in the garden. Pkt., 15¢. VENIDIUM FASTUOSUM— (Monarch of the Veldt) Of all the flowers recently brought to us from the African Veldt, Venidium Fastuosum stands apart as the monarch of them all. It has all the qualities which makes it an all around favorite for gardens and cutting, and will soon be found in everybody’s garden. It is easy to grow, likes plenty of sunshine and not too much water, is a very robust, fast grower, producing flowers within 90 days from seed, and keep on flowering until late in the sum- mer. The flowers will keep a week or more in Scabiosa Caucasica Isaac House Strain bouquets, the long stemmed huge daisy-like flowers mene a delightful arrangement for any Setting. Pkt., 25c. Verbena Page 6 CURRIE BROTHERS CO. MILWAUKEE, WIS. e e Currie’s Lawn Grass Seed Produces a Rich, Thick, Velvety Lawn in SIX WEEKS ... A BEAUTIFUL LAWN AND HOW TO SECURE IT... It is universally conceded that nothing contributes so much to the beauty and attractiveness of the Home Grounds, the Park and the Cemetery, as a smooth, uniformly rich-green, well-kept lawn. But to be per- fect and a pleasure to walk on this should have a firm yet elastic and carpet-like surface, and the first con- sideration in laying out or renovating old grounds should be to secure this condition. CURRIE’S LAWN GRASS MIXTURES are the result of years of study and careful observation, and, if our directions are followed in seeding, they never fail to produce quickly a thrifty growth of fine, velvety, rich green grass, continuous in verdure from early spring to winter, and creating a springy, dense, carpet-like turf and permanently beautiful lawn. THE QUANTITY OF SEED REQUIRED—There is no fixed rule, but a liberal sowing is always satis- factory, while a light seeding is a waste of time and usually disappointing. A beautiful lawn may be pro- duced in a few weeks, or it may not approach per- fection for two or more seasons, according to the quantity of Seed sown. When in a hurry for a fine, close turf, we have frequently sown at the rate of seven, or even eight, bushels of 20 lbs. to the acre, with the most gratifying results, but in general the following quantities will produce satisfactory results: 1 pound to 300 square feet; 5 pounds to 1,500 square feet; 30 pounds to 6,000 square feet; 150 pounds per acre. In thickening up established lawns slightly smaller quantities, depending on conditions, may perhaps be sufficient, but it is always well to put on enough. CURRIE’S SPECIAL LAWN GRASS MIXTURE THOROUGHLY TESTED AND ANALYZED FOR GERMINATION AND PURITY Composed of Evergreen Grasses, best suited to our American Climate, only the finest and cleanest grades of Seed being used. This splendid mixture is com- posed of only the finest dwarf-growing evergreen grasses; absolutely free from weed seeds or other impurities. 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 mixtures 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 guarantee against sowing weed seeds, as the heavier the mixture the more thoroughly cleaned have been the component grasses. We do not use any cheap grasses that dies out during the winter and which has to be replaced with a permanent grass seed. Price per lb., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.90; 10 Ibs., $3.75; 20 Ibs., $7.25; 100 Ibs., $30.00. LAKESIDE GRASS MIXTURE This mixture is specially prepared for country homes where a close, even velvety turf is not easily secured, owing to the difficulty of watering, etc., so necessary for the maintenance of a perfect lawn. The grasses used are such as endure drought and rough usage to a remarkable degree. We have made up this mixture in a great measure for the formation of lawns at Lakeside Summer Homes that can only have attention during the sum- mer months, and for this purpose it will be found invaluable. 1 Ib., 35c; 5 Ibs., $1.50; 10 Ibs., $2.85; 100 Ibs., $27.50. CURRIE’S PARK MIXTURE This is composed of quick growing grasses and is used where a lawn is wanted in a hurry, and should be reseeded with out Special Mixture which is com- posed of the finest of permanent grasses. 1 Ib., 25¢; 5 Ibs., $1.15. > CURRIE BROTHERS CO. MILWAUKEE, WIS. Page 7 Grass Mixture for Shady Places Lawn Grass Mixture for Shady Places If wanted by mail, add for postage at zone rates. To maintain a nice growth of grass under trees and in places where the sunlight only reaches part of the day, was long considered almost hopeless. This can now be overcome in a great measure by our mixture, which is composed of dwarf, compact growing grasses that naturally grow in partial shade and will maintain a close, thick turf throughout the entire season. It frequently happens that the ground under trees becomes impoverished by the roots of the trees, making it almost impossible for grass to thrive unless a liberal top dressing of fertilizer is supplied, or when the ground has soured and covered with moss an application of ground lime will be found beneficial before sowing the seed.

FOR SPRING AND FALL SOWING Where a field is to be put down to grass for a number of years, a mixture of grasses that are more permanent than Timo- thy and Clover should be used, such as will produce good crops of hay and pasture for many years without reseeding. We prepare mixtures of grass- es for a wide range of soils and conditions, and there is hardly any land so poor or climate so unfavorable that we cannot fur- nish a mixture for it that will yield one or more crops of hay every year. The first cost of seeding with these mixtures is generally more than Timothy and Clover, but the returns fully warrant the extra expense. Only the best recleaned grass seeds are used by us in these mixtures, and if the soil and conditions are described, the proper proportions will be used to produce satisfactory results.

Page 38 Small Garden Size, 25¢ Large Size, 60c Sweet Peas Beautiful, Fragrant, Fashionable HOW TO GROW THEM—Sweet Peas should be planted as early in spring as the ground can be worked. Rich loam with an abundance of well rotted manure is an ideal soil. A trench about 6 inches deep should be made, sowing the seed thinly in the bottom, and cover with an inch of soil, pressing it down firmly. Gradually fill in the trench as the plants grow, and thin out to 2 to 4 inches apart. When too close they make a weak growth with inferior flowers. Brush or wire netting should be placed in the rows as soon as the plants appear above the ground. During dry weather, water thoroughly and stir the surface soil frequently to prevent evaporation. Keep the flowers cut and never allow seed pods to form, as that at once ends the flowering season. Late fall planting of Sweet Peas is practical, and is best done just before the ground freezes up, sowing the seed about 3 inches deep, covering the rows with manure or leaves after the ground is frozen.

Carrot CULTURE—Forx 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 cul- ture 1% to 2 feet apart, covering the seed about one-half to one inch deep. Keep down L weeds. Thin out young plants as soon as they can be j handled, leaving them about 4 inches apart. 1 oz. 100 feet of drill; 3 to 4 lbs. per acre in drills. Page 63 MARKET — In shape, color and general appearance this _ sort is an improvement on the well-known Danvers. It is broad at the neck and gradually narrows down to a blunt, pointer base. In color, it is an attractive bright orange. The flesh is tender and sweet throughout, and is entirely free from core. It is one of the heaviest croppers and its handsome appearance makes it an ex- cellent bunching Carrot for market. Pkt., 10c; 1 0z., 25c; % Ib., 75c; 1 Ib., $2.50.

For table use many regard this variety—because of its form, color, texture and delicate flavor—the finest of all sorts, and i undoubtedly the best bunching Carrot for early market use.

Heads larger and firmer. Our stock of this grand Cauliflower cannot be sur- passed. For packers and pickle growers it has no equal, yielding, as it does, immense, solid heads, many of which weigh over ten pounds each of solid flower. Every plant produces a head, many of them so large that three fill a bushel basket and all perfectly solid. As the name “Dry Weather” implies, this variety possesses to a marked degree the ability to resist without de- terioration extremely droughty conditions such as have been experienced during recent seasons. Because of this constitutional hardiness many growers, especially those in the drier, hotter sections, pin their faith to this fine sort as against all other varieties.

For late planting the Seed should be sown in May in a cold frame or open ground in soil that is well pul- verized. 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 flowers becoming sunburnt and tough. In order to have them tender and of good flavor they must be gathered before they be- come too large. 1 oz. for about 3,000 plants.

Sure to head and remain pure and white when others are discolored and unsalable. The heads measure eight to ten inches across when grown in good soil. The seed we offer is of very superior quality and is grown for us by one of the most reliable Cauliflower growers in Europe, and the great eare taken to keep it up to the highest standard is manifested in the superiority of the crops grown from it every year.

Exceedingly valu- able to all practical growers whether producing for commercial purposes or for the home table. $3.00. a, CURRIE BROTHERS CO, Celery One ounce will furnish 3,000 to 5,000 plants Celery is a crop that requires a very long season. If an early crop is to be grown from seeds, the latter must be started indoors in boxes about the last of February, the plants being set in the ground, six inches apart, in May. The crop should be ready in August. Celery for winter may be grown from seeds started in the open ground in late April, but it is advisable to have a seed bed and to transplant the seedlings to the open field when large enough. It is well to cut off the lower half of the roots at transplanting time, and firming the soil around the plants is very important.

MILWAUKEE, WIS. = Cas | (2, CULTURE—tThe Onion is most successfully grown in a deep, rich loamy soil, and, unlike most vegetables, does best when cultivated in the same ground for a succession of years.

Sow thinly in drills half an inch deep, rows twelve inches apart, and cover with fine soil, pressing it down. Keep the ground free from weeds and thin out the young plants so they may stand three or four inches apart. The small onions pulled may be eaten green and the balance allowed to mature. 1 oz. to 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 lbs. to the acre.

TESTIMONIAL Permit me to add that I have used your seeds for many years (I frequently buy them directly from your store when I am in Milwaukee; sometimes I order by mail) and I have found them absolutely satisfactory. I wanted you to know this. We have a country place of two acres all of which is land- scaped. There are many and very large beds. To date, I have had no disappointment in the annuals and perennials obtained from Currie’s seeds. Most sincerely yours, Mrs. E. F. Stone, Wis. American Purple Top Rutabaga CURRIE BROTHERS CO.

Thin out to 9 inches apart in the row. For feeding stock, few crops equal Mangel-Wurzel and Sugar Beets. Cana- dian farmers appear to appreciate this more than we do. The roots are stored in barns or pits before hard frost sets in and fed during the winter months. The Giant Half-Sugar Beets are much more productive than the Sugar Beets and fully equal to the best of them in feeding qualities. A large portion of the root being above ground renders them easy to handle. Every stockman should give them a trial. Mangel-Wurzel are also very nutritious and yield very heavy crops, often exceeding 1,500 bushels to the acre. It is not unusual to grow roots weighing upward of 20 lbs. each on fairly rich soil. Prepare the ground thoroughly, using a liberal supply of barnyard manure, previous to sowing the seed. IMPROVED MAMMOTH LONG RED—The largest and heaviest cropper of all the Mangels.

The plant forms a vigorous, large bush which throws out short runners, averaging eighteen inches. The large, golden- yellow sweet scented, semi-double flowers average two and one- half to three inches across. They are borne on erect, stiff stems six inches in length. When well grown, these flowers have the appearance of a fully double flower, and are most attractive. An ordinary sized bou- quet, when allowed to remain in a room for a short period of time, will fill the room with fragrance. % oz., 25c......Pkt. 15c CURRIE BROS. CO. 406-408 E. WISCONSIN AVE.
