Axvarded Three Grand Prizes at the World’s Fair, St. Louis, 1904, by the Jury of Awards for FARM and GARDEN SEEDS. This Great Distinction was won im competition with Seedsimen from all over the United States, several cf whom were awarded Gold Medal, but to us alone was the high honor of GRAND PRIZE GIVEN. In addition we were awarded Ten Gold Medals. Our constant aim is to furnish Seeds, Bulbs and Plants of Strictly Wirst- Class Quality at the Lowest Possible Price, and our reputation for handling the Best Things for the Garden and Farm is fully demonstrated every year by the many flattering testimonials we receive, and the rapidly increasing demand for them. Not only does this Annual give a list of the Best Seeds Known, but it also furnishes directions for the successful cultivation of the same, wilich may- be safely relied upon. A few changes in the time of sowing and planting, neces- sitated by peculiar climatic conditions, being left, of course, to the good judgment of the cultivator. In the case of Flower Seeds, partly to economize space, but particularly to make it more convenient for the gardener, we give instructions on each Seed packet. See hints on page 53. )WARRANTED AND TESTED SEEDS—Our Seeds are all tested, a precautionary measure of great value to our customers tte ourselves, and none are allowed to leave our establishment until we are satisfied that they possess the greatest possible lity and are certain to grow under proper conditions. That under such conditions they do grow and give entire satis- ion, is fully testified to by the many flattering testimonials we annually receive from our customers. We warrant our Seeds to possess strong vitality, but owing to the many conditions under which failures may occur we 10t and do not guarantee crops. WE GUARANTEE THE SAFE ARRIVAL OF SEEDS—In the event of the arrival of packages in bad condition, notice ild be sent us at onee and we will cheerfully replace the same free of charge.

The most popular Onion market, and where known in this country takes the lead of all others, commanding a better price than any of the famous Span- ish or Bermuda sorts. For perfection of form, size and weight it is unrivalled. There is no Onion equal to it for exhibition purposes. As shown in the illustration it is a handsome globe shape, the outer skin being a beautiful straw color. To get the best results from this Onion the seed should be sown in-doors or in a hot- bed early in spring and transplanted. By this treatment enormous crops can be raised, a yield of over a thousand bushels to the acre not being uncommon. The Onions grow to a very large size, fre- quently weighing 2% to 3 lbs. each. It is re- markably mild in flavor, and for slicing to be eaten raw is superior to the best of the Span- ish varieties. The attractive appearance of Ailsa Craig Onion, together with its wonderfully delicate flavor, render it a most desirable variety, and commands a ready sale on the market.

The vines grow about 15 inches in height, are very hardy, per- mittinge early planting, bear monstrous pods in great abundance and are of such sturdy growth as to be practical- ly self-supporting.

CURRIE BROTHERS COMPANY, MILWAUKEE, WIS. DI S y=: DT WE BELIVER ASPARAGUS. German, Spargel. French, Asperge. As early in the spring as the ground can be worked, sow the Seeds—previously soaked in water for about 24 hours—in rows about a foot apart. Cultivate between the rows fre- quently, to keep the soil loose and weeds down. The second year the plants will be ready for planting in permanent beds. Prepare the ground by working in a liberal quantity of barn- yard manure. Set the plants from 15 to 18 inches apart, or when large quantities are grown for market, set 3 or 4 feet apart, which permits horse cultivation. In planting spread out the roots carefully and cover with about 6 or 8 inches of soil. A rather sandy soil is best. Sow 1 ounce to 60 feet of drill. Colossal—A well-known and excellent variety.

On the surface of the ground, thoroughly enriched and cultivated beforehand, lay out lines 3 feet apart, not trenches, as was formerly the custom. Set the plants in these rows, about 4 inches apart. Until about the middle of August the only work to be done is frequent cultivation and watering in dry weather. Earthing up may then begin and continue as long as the plants grow, to bleach the stems and render them crisp. White Plume (Perfected)—A very superior stock. Does not re- quire to be earthed up, but if only loosely tied and soil drawn close around the base of the leaves to keep them close together, all the inner leaves and stalks will turn white and crisp.

One of the best of our small early or basket Melons. Durifg the last few years they have largely increased in popularity on account of the excellent quality and flavor of this Melon as shipped from Rocky Ford (Colo.). Growers and seedsmen are undecided as to whether it is owing to any particular quality of soil or climate, or to persistent selection that has brought the Rocky Ford type of Gem into such great prominence. We are inclined to the theory of close selection and offer a selected stock of the true Rocky Ford type.

Manure the ground well in the fall, and turn up in ridges during the winter, and as early as it will work in the spring rake or harrow thor- oughly, so as to get the soil fine and level. Sow thinly in drills half an inch deep, twelve inches apart, and cover with fine soil, pressing it down.

French, Pols, For first early Peas sow in a light, rich soil, as early in March or April as the ground can be worked; for later varieties, sow in April or May. Dis- continue sowing from June to August, after which, by sowing 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 te 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 so hardy as the smooth sorts and should be planted later, owing to their liability to rot in the ground. z One quart to 100 feet of drill. Two bush- els to an acre in drills. N. B.—The Pea crops everywhere in this country and in England were - last season almost total failures. In many cases scarcely more than the sowing was harvested. Tremendous prices prevail throughout the coun- try this spring as a result, and much inferior seed is on the market. We have only a very limited sup- ply of seed, but what we do have is good, and our prices have been kept down below the level of legitimate profit. EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES.

New “Petkus” Winter Rye—A new Rye from Germany that will be of great value to the farmers of Wisconsin. This new Rye came through the United States Department of Agri- culture, Washington, to the Wisconsin Experiment Station, where it has been thoroughly tested four years. We have the following report from the Wisconsin Experiment Sta- tion: “Your letter of the 14th of November in regard to “Petkus’ Rye to hand. Have ex- amined the record of this grain and find that it has yielded an average of 40.3 bushels per acre for four years. The Rye grows tall and has long and well-filled heads. The grain itseif has the largest kernel of any Rye we have ever grown. It is rather light in color and should make a very good grade of flour. In fact, it is recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture as one of the best bread ryes grown in this country.” In Ger- many this Rye is much esteemed for making bread, and this together with its great pro- ductiveness and strong stiff straw makes it particularly desirable.

It is estimated by reports received from many members of the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Association who have _ tested Oderbrucker Barley that it yields from five to ten bushels more per acre than any other Barley. It is unusually good for malting purposes. In addition to being a better yielder than other sorts Oderbrucker has been found to possess a high protein content, making | it\an exceptionally fine feeding Barley. The Seed we offer was grown from stock obtained direct from the Wisconsin Agri- | cultural Experiment station. . Per peck 40c; bushel $1.25; 5 bushels $6.00; 10 bushels $11.50. NEW PEDIGREED BARLEY—WISCONSIN No. 12. | : This new Barley disseminated this year for the first time, has in abundantly conclusive trials at the Experiment Station Farm, and at other specially selected points in different sections of the state, demonstrated its marked superiority over any ether sort produced at the station during the past few years and over all the commonly sown varieties. It is fully equal te Oderbrucker, if not in some respects superior to that excellent sort. (ike Oderbrucker it is a strain of the Manshury, received originally in 1899 from the Ontario Station at Guelph, and it has gone through a breeding process (the centgener method) re- quiring 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. \\ Per peck 50c; bushel $1.50. MANDSCHEURI BARLEY. An early 6-rowed variety, maturing in 80 to 90 days from time of#sowing, very strong- strawed and stools well, bearing large, well-filled heads of beautiful, plump-berried grain, possessing malting qualities of a high order, and adapting itself readily to a wonderful variety of soils. We offer specially grown Seed from the genuine imported stock, thoroughly re-cleaned. Per peck 40c; per bushel $1.20; 5 bushel lots $5.75; 10 bushels $11.00. WHITE HULLESS BARLEY.

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. The straw stools well and is heavily leaved and makes an excellent hay. Sow 2 bushels per acre. Péck 50c; bushel of 48 lbs. $1.50; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.40. CHAMPION BEARDLESS BARLEY.

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 ex- tremely resistant 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 extreme Western States, in some instances reaching 80 bushels per acre. We have before us reports of crops of Blue Stem Wheat in North Dakota not worth harvesting, while in the adjoining fields Durum Wheat yielded close to 30 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.

The only Wheat awarded a “Grand Prize” (the highest possible award) at the World’s Fair, St. Louis, in 1904. Im 1902 the result of trials made by 89 farmers in Minnesota show the average yield of Minnesota No. 169 Wheat to be 18 per cent. more than any other variety of Wheat. Minnesota No, 169 Wheat was farst sent out by the Minnesota Experiment Sta- tion in 1902, ten years after being started from a single seed of Blue Stem Wheat. During that time it was carefully grown and watched, and the greatly increased yield at all times over the parent variety encouraged the growers to foster the crop until a sufficient quantity should be secured to make an extensive and thorough trial of it in all sections of the state. These trials produced marvelous results, the average yield of it being 18 per cent. more than any other sort on the same soil.

The -feed furnished by Rape is unsurpassed as a fat- tener for sheep and hogs, being superior to clover, and sheep pastured on it gain rapidly in weight. Rape should be sown in drills at the rate of 3 lbs. per acre, or broadcast, using 4 to 6 lbs. per acre, all through the summer months, so as to furnish a successive crop of sheep feed.

One of the most valuable fodder plants for the West and Northwestern States, owing to its adaptability to withstand severe drought, heat and cold. The vines are very similar to Pea vines, but are more slender and much more thickly clad with leaves and side stems, which fur- nish nice, succulent feed. Individual plants will make a 10-foot growth before going to seed. As a Pasture Plant for Sand Vetch is without an equal. From sowings made in August an excellent late Fall pasturage for sheep or hogs can be had in 50 days. the plants being by that time two feet in height. After close eating it ean be left to prevent soil washing during Winter and Spring. It is one of the first plants to start into growth in spring and will be again ready to pasture by May, or it can be allowed to mature for green cutting or for a Hay crop. Hogs, sheep and cattle eat it with great relish. The Washington Department of Agriculture estimates the value of a plowed-under crop of this Vetch as equivalent to putting into the ground $16 to $45 worth of commercial fertilizers per acre. Sow in either fall or spring, at the rate of 30 lbs. per acre, broadcast, with the addition of one-half bushel Rye or Oats to furnish support ~ for the vines. On rich soil it yields enormous crops of green fodder, from 10 to 15 tons to the acre; equal to 3 to 4 tons when cured as dried Hay.

Alfalfa has long been in many states and is fast becom- ing in this state a crop of inestimable value. Its chief merit lies in the fact that it may be cut 3 or 4 times a season, each cutting bringing enormous yields of sweet and nutritious forage which is much relished by all kinds of stock. Care should be taken when cattle are first turned in not to allow them to overfeed. as it is liable to cause bloating. It is an excellent soiling crop and makes the best hay when properly treated, being :in itself the nearest approach of any farm product to a perfect ration. In hay making it should be put in cocks instead of windrows, which will tend to prevent the shattering of the leaves. The Seed should be sown broadcast at the rate of 20 to 30 pounds per acre about the middle of April:or earlier, should the ground be in good condition, without a nurse or cover crop. The soil must be deep, rich and well-drained, and the seed-bed well prepared. The greater the effort and care taken in the latter respect the more certain the probability of a successful catch. The soi] should receive a deep, early plowing, followed by frequent rolling and har- rowing until the surface is in as perfect a condition for seeding as possible. Two additional soil conditions are essential for a successful catch and an abundant crop; the first, a thoroughly sweet, non-acid property, and the other a highly nitrogenous fertility. To secure the former the wise farmer will spread lime, marl or land plaster over his field; as to the other the soil from an old Alfalfa or Sweet Clover field, or the inoculation of his seed immediately before sowing, will cause the growth of bacteria nodules upon the roots of the young plants with a consequent power of fixing and making use of the free nitrogen of-the air, without which they will not thrive. The seed should never be sown on heavy, sticky clay land where water stands a short distance below the surface. A large crop once established, the results are wonderful—three euttingsS a year being the regular thing, averaging 10 tons green fodder to the acre. Not only this, but it will continue to give 10 tons to the acre, for 10 to 15 years. As a land enricher it is unsurpassed. The long roots. 310 to 15 feet under ground, bring up lots of buried mineral fertilizer, while. like all the Clover family, it is a great nitrogen gatherer. No farmer should be without it.

Perfectly Hardy. Withstands Drought, Heat and Cold. The climate of Turkestanis not unlike that of our interior states. The summers are very hot and long, and in many places the evaporation exceeds the quantity of’ moisture that has fallen during the year. The inhabitants are mainly employed raising cattle and here it is this Alfalfa grows and flourishes. Withstands Extreme Cold Without Injury—At the Experiment Station, Brookings, S. D., with a minimum temperature’ of 40 degrees below zero, with the ground bare, common Alfalfa was killed, while Turkestan came through unharmed. At ‘the Wyoming Experiment Station the Turkestan Alfalfa was exposed to a minimum temperature of 45 degrees below zero without harm. i Turkestan Alfalfa is the chief forage in use throughout Central Asia. There are no meadows in certain parts, as soft herbs and grasses that grow up in early spring are quickly dried by the hot rays of the sun. Parallel experiments have been made in the Merv Oases in growing Turkestan and common Alfalfa under widely different conditions, and the results have shown that the Turkestan is greatly superior to the common in the crop it yields, and is able to grow satisfactorily with a minimum supply of water. Turkestan Alfalfa has a very large root system, and its leaves are covered with thick down. The former enables the plant to imbibe the moisture from the deeper layers of the soil, and the latter prevents its too rapid exhalation. Not only does it endure extreme drought and cold, but excellent crops of it have been raised on strongly alkaline soils.

GRASS AND CLOVER MIXTURES VS. TIMOTHY. For many years Timothy or Timothy and Clover were the only varieties used to obtain a crop of Hay or Pasture, and while Timothy is of itself an excellent grass, and Clover the basis of all successful farming, the fact that the life of either of these, even under the most successful conditions, does not extend beyond a few years, consequently have to be re-sown, with all the attendant expense of seeding, plowing and harrowing, ted us to look for some- thing that gives a greater return of Hay per acre, and at the same time be of a more permanent character and not so likely to fail as Tim- othy. This can be accomplished by sow- ing “@€@ mixture of grasses, aS no matter how gaod one indi- vidual grass may be, there is always more or less chance of a total failure, as has often been demon- strated in Timothy sowings, while with the mixtures the fail- ure of any one variety sufficient to the result of the sowing; again, by sowing a well-arranged mixture we get in such varieties as are best adapted for par- ticular purposes and soils. Where a Hay crop only is desired, we use the taller growing grasses and such as will all ripen about the same time; where a Hay crop first, and pasture afterwards, is desired, we select the grasses, putting of grass endanger or materially affect composing it is not in a proportion of the taller ones for the Hay crop, and the dwarfer and close-growing sorts to fill up the bottom and give a close and compact pasture. We also arrange to have varieties that come into maturity both early and late in the season, thus keeping up a continuous growth and fur- nishing grazing until late in the year. Mixtures of this kind are of great value to dairy farmers, for they not only furnish a rousing Hay crop, early in the season (three or four weeks ahead of Timothy), and the grasses recover so quickly that they are ready to be pastured within a few days after cutting, and will continue to fur- nish good pasturage until very late in the fall. Where quick re- sults are desired, we advise sowing grass mixtures without a cover crop, such as Rye, Oats, or Barley. {t is of the utmost importance to sow on clean land, finely pulverized and in good tilth, that which has been the previous season in a hoed or cul- tivated crop being best. Sow broadcast by hand or with a Broadcast Seeder, covering’ the seeds by light har- rowing, after which all should be well rolled. This roll- ing is important, as it makes a firm seed-bed, bringing the Seed in close contact with the soil, and helps to retain the surface moisture.

For Spring or Fall Sowing—With or Without a Cover Crop. A FEW OF THE ADVANTAGES WE CLAIM FOR OUR PERMANENT GRASS AND CLOVER MIXTURES. They are permanent, lasting for ten to twelve years without reseeding. They mature two or three weeks earlier than Timothy, produce more Hay to the acre, and on account of their earliness have a longer growing season in which toe mature the second crop. After cutting, these mixed grasses recover quickly, and excellent pasturage can be had within a week or two after haying time. Your chance of missing a catch is reduced to a minimum, as is the case with Timothy or any one variety of grass. One or other of the grasses may miss to eatch, but total failure is almost impossible.

CURRIE’S LAWN GRASS SEED PRODUCES A RICH, THICK AND VELVETY LAWN THE FIRST SEASON. A BEAUTIFUL LAWN AND HOW TO MAKE 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, which, to be perfect and a pleasure to walk on, should have a firm yet elastic and carpet-like surface. To secure this should, therefore, be the first consideration in lay- ing out or renovating old grounds. Turfing with fine old pasture sod, at one time a popular plan of making a lawn, is now almost entirely superseded by seeding, because of the expense and difficulty in obtaining good, clean turf. On the other hand seeding is not only inex- pensive but is in reality the only means of securing a fine and permanent lawn, depending only for its complete success on the thoroughness with which the ground is prepared, the quality and quantity of the Seed sown, and the subsequent care of the lawn. : Our extensive experience in the seeding of lawns and ex- haustive experiments with all kinds of lawn grasses have demonstrated beyond a doubt that many kinds are valueless, being too coarse or bunchy, and that one kind of grass alone can not be relied upon, in our climate, to produce and main- tain a fine lawn. It is only by using a proper combination of CURRIE’S SPECIAL LAWN GRASS several suitable warieties, sown liberally, that the most satis-— factory results can be obtained. CURRIE’S LAWN GRASS MIXTURES are the result of years of study and careful observation, which, if our direc- tions are followed in seeding, never fail to produce quickly « 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 RE@QUIRED.—There is no fixed rule, but a liberal sowing is always satisfactory, while a light seeding is a waste of time and usually disappointing. A beau- tiful lawn may be produced in a few weeks, or it may not ap- proach perfection for two or more seasons, according to the quantity of Seed sown. We have frequently, when in a hurry for a fine close turf sown at the rate of seven bushels of 20 lbs. each to the acre, with the most successful results, but in general the following quantities will produce the best results: 1 quart to 250 square feet; 1 pound to 400 square feet; 5 pounds to 2,000 square feet; 20 pounds to 8,000 square feet; 100 pounds per acre. For renovating old lawns about one-half the above quantities, on the average, is required. MIXTURE. THOROUGHLY TESTED AND ANALYZED FOR GERMINATION AND PURITY. Composed of Evergreen Grasses, Suitable for our American Climate, and made up from only the finest and cleanest grades of Seed. This splendid mixture is composed of only the finest dwarf-growing evergreen grasses; absolutely free from weed seeds or other impurities; especially adapted and mixed in the proper proportion to suit the American climate. in comparing the cost of our Special Lawn Grass with other mixtures sent out by the trade, remember that the natural weight per measured bushel of our mixture is 20 pounds per pushel, 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 recleaned have been the component grasses.

CURRIE’S GRASS MIXTURE FOR SHADE—The growing and maintaining of a nice fresh green Sward or Turf below trees or in shady places has long been regarded as a hard and difficult proposition. In our Grass Mixture for shade we have an excellent combination of the sorts which grow naturally in shady places and under any ordinary circumstances will furnish a close, green, velvety turf dur- ing the entire season. However, it often is 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 400 pounds per acre.

USEFUL HINTS FOR THE SUCCESSFUL CULTIVATION OF FLOWER SEEDS. Cause of Failure. Many of the failures which occur in the sowing of the very small seeded varieties of Flower Seeds happen often through covering too deeply—Washing out by too heavy watering—or omitting to water in time, in which case they dry off or shrivel up. The best that The best that money or skill can produce. money or skill can produce, The Successful Method. The most successful way is to scw the Seeds in shallow earthenware seed pans or wooden boxes 2 or 3 inches in depth, partially filling the bottom part with broken pots, ashes or small stones, to provide drainage; fill to within half-inch of the rim with finely sifted soil, which press down firm and level (it is a good plan to thor- oughly soak with water, say the day before sowing), scatter the Seeds evenly over the surface, cover with soil to three or four times the depth of the Seed you are sowing; the very fine seed should only be pressed down with a board. After sowing ‘cover with a sheet of glass or a wetted sheet of paper until seedlings come through the ground, after which remove the glass or at least enough to admit fresh air, otherwise your seedlings will damp or rot off. Transplanting. As soon as they can be handled, transplant into similar boxes 1 to 2 inches apart, and when large enough put in the positions where they are Wanted to flower. This additional trouble will well repay the amateur by the increased blooming period it gives to such Seeds as Asters, Heliotrope, Lobelia, Salvia and Verbena. Sowing of Hardy Annuals. Sweet Alyssum, Asters, Nasturtiums, Mignonette, Marigolds, and all Hardy Annuals may be sown where they are intended to flower, as soon as the ground is free from frost, or better still, about the middle of May in this latitude, as nothing is gained by sowing in a cold seed bed. Seeds sown in a nice, warm seed bed will with good weather surpass those sown weeks before, as the latter usually have become stunted through weather set- backs, whereas the late-sown ones usually come right along with no checks; of course, care must be taken not to sow too late, as late sowings run severe risks from drying out during our first warm weather—unless care is taken to water regularly until the seedlings become established. Thin out where they come up too thickly to at least 4 inches apart and over, accord- ing to the size of the plant. Sowing of Hardy Perennials. Hardy Perennials may be sown from January to October. Early sowings should be made in- doers in shallow pans or boxes, as described above, or they can be sown outdoors from May to August, and transplanted to their permanent flowering positions in early autumn, protecting during winter with a covering of leaves or manure. Many of the Perennials, such as Antirrhinum, Dahlias, Heliotrope, Salvia, ete., can be sown outdoors as soon as good weather sets in for late flowering. : HINTS ON SWEET PEA CULTURE. DON’T expect Sweet Peas to thrive in soil too poor for any other plants, or in a sunless location. They need, as nearly as possible, a free clay loam, moderately rich and freely cultivated. DON’T overfeed. With a view to obtaining vigorous growth and profusion of bloom, bone meal is the best fertilizer. DON’T sow too shallow. A good plan is to draw out a trench 6 inches in depth, into which plant the Seeds not less than two inches deep, and as the plants become established bank the soil against them, repeating this two or three times through- out the season. ’ j DON’T gather blooms grudgingly. The more you cut the longer the vine will continue to flower. Remember, when they go to seed Sweet Peas will cease flowering. DON’T water so as to only slightly sprinkle or wet the surface of the ground. When you water, see that it soaks thoroughly into the ground for at least 6 inches.
