Start spraying the plants in the garden before the insects get a start. It’s too late after the damage is done. Plant all vine seeds in warm soil; they may rot if the soil is cold. Be sure to thin plants to the distances given on Ferry’s seed packets; both flow- ers and vegetables need lots of room to grow. Soak beet seeds over night before plant- ing if the garden soil is dry. That pretty little perennial, Cerastium tomentosum (Snow-in-summer), makes a suitable ground cover for a shady spot where grass doesn’t grow well. Radishes do better if grown in a different place each year. A plot 30 x 50 feet will supply a family of four or five with fresh vegetables all summer with plenty left over for canning. Your dealer will be glad to get special flower or vegetable seed items for you. Select seeds of one or two new vegetables or flowers. They'll add interest to your garden. Grow a few flowers just for fragrance, — mignonette, heliotrope, nicotiana, sweet alyssum, for example. The Fevry Garidener Says: If weeds come up in your newly planted lawn, don’t blame the grass seed; most soils contain hundreds of weed seeds wait- ing for a chance to grow. Tomato vines make a good winter mulch for perennials that need protection. Mix fine soil or sand with small seeds before sowing; it saves thinning. There’s no bother and no delay when you buy your seeds from the Ferry Display. Recipe for attractive edging: Mix one part Lilac Queen Alyssum seed with four parts Carpet of Snow Alyssum seed and two parts clean sand. Sow mixture evenly in prepared soil in foreground of flower border. Be sure to plant succession crops of your favorite sweet corn; then you'll enjoy corn-on-the-cob for a long season. Use a sharp knife or shears when you cut flowers; twisting or pulling them off may harm the plant. Make meals more tasty and appetizing with home-grown herb seasonings. If you want lots of beans from small space, choose pole varieties.

This is a true color photograph of a Ferry-Morse exhibit in the Hall of Flowers at San Fran- cisco’s 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition. At the top, a huge vase holds 100 spikes of a distinct new type of Larkspur, called Super Majestic, each spike six feet in length. The beautiful rose-pink of this wonderful Super Ma- jestic Larkspur, a late development by Ferry-Morse, can now be secured for your garden through your neighborhood dealer. Other unusually fine varieties, also shown on the cover, are described in this book. Your dealer either has them or can speedily order them for you, Ferry-Morse work with Larkspurs is outstanding. It is typical of the development and im- provement of many other flower and vegetable strains continually going on at Salinas, their California Seed Breeding Station, and at Oakview, their Seed Breeding Station near Detroit, Michigan. Carden Success Begins with Good Seed, Proper Planting, * Preparing the Soil A rich sandy loam is well adapted to gardening. Other kinds of soil are suitable, but stiff clays need plenty of fibrous material and must be thoroughly broken up. Sandy soils generally need additional fertilizing. For general use, where well-rotted stable manure is not available, a commercial fertilizer containing 4 per cent nitrates, 12 per cent phosphate, and 4 to 6 per cent potash is usually best. Apply at the rate of about 4 pounds to the square rod. Use the hoe 1n covering the seeds. Press the soil down firmly as you go along Work the soil deeply and make the top 3 or 4 inches as fine and loose as possible. Much weed killing can be done by hoeing or raking just before planting. Do not work clay soils when they are wet enough to stick to rake or hoe. * Planting At time of planting seed in the open ground, the soil should be moist but never wet, when avoidable. To retain moisture after planting, cover seed imme- diately with fine, freshly prepared earth and press it down firmly and smoothly. This firming of the soil brings the particles of earth into close contact with the seeds, prevents drying out, and facilitates growth. Plant from the Ferry packet by tapping gently with the forefinger; it helps distribute the seeds evenly in the row Plant at a time when the atmospheric and soil temperatures are most favorable for germination of the kind of seed to be sown. The best temperature for each kind may be learned from study-of our cultural directions and zonal charts and by inquiring of successful gardeners in your neighborhood. The proper depth for covering seed varies with the different kinds of seeds and conditions of soil. This can be learned best through practical experience. When planting seed, the soil must be loose and soft so that the tender stems of seedlings can easily push through, and the young roots quickly find plant food. This is usually secured by careful preparation of the soil and by not planting fine seeds when the ground is wet. * Cultivating Stirring the surface soil during the period of growth kills weeds, loosens the ground so as to encourage root development, allows air to enter, and helps to conserve moisture. Cultivation may be deep at first, but as the plants grow it should be more shallow to avoid injury to the roots. * Watering When plants need artificial watering, the best hours of the day for it are early morning or evening. The roots, however, may be watered at any time. One good soaking is better than many light sprinklings. * Starting Plants Indoors Seedling plants may be grown successfully in spring in shallow boxes of soil placed in south or east windows. The preparation of the seed box is simple but it needs care. Whether it is a cigar box or larger ‘“flat,”’ holes should be bored in the bottom—about six inches apart in larger boxes and about three inches apart in one of cigar box size. Over the bot- tom of the box spread pieces of broken flower pots or crockery, or small pebbles, then coarser soil, and last of all finely sifted garden soil. Firm the soil and sow the seed thinly in rows. The general rule for depth of planting is about four times the diameter of the seed. Thin sowing is economy. The tiny plants crowd each other when planted too thickly. Cover the seed box with a damp cloth or paper until germination starts and place a pane of glass In indoor planting, sow the seeds thinly in rows over the top. Remove the paper or cloth as soon as the first sprouts break through the soil. Wipe off the glass when water collects on it from evaporation. This will prevent moisture from dripping on the little plants and perhaps causing ‘‘damping off.”’ During the day prop up one edge of the glass cover- ing for ventilation. Keep the seed box moist but not wet or water- logged. The best way to water is from beneath by setting the seed box in a pan of water or in shallow water in a sink. When seedlings are two or three inches high, they are ready to be transplanted, either to individual pots or out-of-doors. ~~ with the roots. ~ * Transplanting In transplanting, take care to avoid injury to the roots in taking up the plants. Set plants out as soon as possible to prevent air from coming in contact Firm the soil around the plants so that. they can take hold securely. Provide shade to keep the hot sun from withering the leaves. * Keeping the Garden Healthy Spray and dust with reliable insecticides as soon as there is the least suspicion that insect pests may be at hand. Do not give them a chance to get a foot- hold. “An ounce of prevention maxim to follow. yy iSmaesale 2. In fall, remove and burn all rubbish in the gar- den. Many insect eggs may thus be destroyed that would otherwise be harbored over winter. 3.

Sow seed in March or April, giving young plants protection until danger of frost is past. In transplanting, set in rows about four feet apart and about two feet apart in the row. In mild climates plants produce a crop of buds the second year. Where winters are severe, protect the crown with a heavy mulch. ASPARAGUS. Soak the seed 24 hours before plant- ing. Sow in rows about 18 inches apart, and 15 to 20 seeds to the foot. Cover two inches deep. Thin the young plants to about one inch apart. Hoe frequently. Set plants in permanent beds the following spring. BUSH BEANS. Plant when all danger of frost is past. With the corner of the hoe, make rows about two feet apart and an inch and a half deep across the space you are going to plant. Drop the beans along the row about two or three inches apart. Cover with fine soil and press down firmly with the hoe. When the plants come up, thin them so that they stand about six inches apart. POLE BEANS. Plant at about the same time as bush beans. Get poles four to eight feet long. Drive them into the ground in rows that are about four feet apart. Set the poles three feet apart in the row. Have the rows run north and south. Around each stake, plant five to eight beans about an inch and a half or two inches deep. Press the soil down firmly. When the plants come up, thin out all except the four strongest plants at the base of each pole. Train these to climb in one direction around the poles. Hoe around the plants often to keep the soil loosened. BEETS. Plant beets about the same time as radishes and lettuce. Have the soil fine and loose. Make rows about an inch deep and about 18 inches apart. Sow the seeds about an inch apart in the row. Cover with soil, and press it down firmly. Keep the weeds out when the plants come up. As soon as the tops are about three inches tall, pull out some of them and cook them for greens. Keep thinning and using the young plants until the beet roots stand about six inches apart in the row. BRUSSELS SPROUTS. This vegetable can be grown wherever conditions are favorable for late cabbage. It requires the same culture. CABBAGE. Set out both early and late cabbage as soon as there is no danger of frost. Have the rows about three feet apart. Set the plants two feet apart in the row. CARDOON. The rows should be about four feet apart, and the plants two feet apart in the rows. Rich soil is necessary. The stalks require blanching, and the plant is raised much like celery. CARROTS. Sow carrot seed as early as radishes and lettuce. Make the rows in the same way as for beets. Sow the seed thinly, letting it drop a little at a time from the corner of the packet. Cover the seed with about half an inch of soil and press it down firmly. When the plants are about two inches tall, thin them so that they will not crowd each other. Keep out the weeds. Hoe around the plants often to keep the soil loosened. CAULIFLOWER. The same methods that produce good cabbage will produce good cauliflower. The only difference is that cauliflower heads must be protected from sunlight to make sure of the desirable white curd. Gather the tops of the leaves together loosely as soon as the heads begin to form. In shutting off the light, do not cramp the heads. (More Hints on Page 36) 33 In transplanting seedlings, take a good ball of soil with the roots. Dig the holes deep enough so that the roots can spread out naturally... Firm the soil around the roots with your hands and give the plants plenty of water You can Raise Superior Vegetables NOTE! ‘Days to table size’’ means length of time from date of planting to the time when the vegetables are ready to eat in the climate of southern Michigan. In most cases the reference is to seed planting; in the case of broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauli- fiower, eg¢ plant, pepper. and tomato, length of time starts with the date the plants are set in the open ground.

Sow seed at the same season and give the same treatment as celery. Transplant to moist, rich soil in rows two feet apart and six inches apart in the row. Give thorough culture. It is not necessary to earth up or ‘‘handle” the plants. When the roots are two inches in diameter, they are ready for use. CELERY. Celery seed will sprout at comparatively low temperatures, but it needs constant and abundant moisture. The soil for starting plants should be fine and loose, and the seed must be covered only % inch deep. It takes about two weeks for seed to sprout. For fall and winter use in the North seed may be planted from March 15 to April 15. When seedlings have three or four leaves well started, prick out about three inches apart each way. Keep the soil moist and transplant to open ground when plants are 75 to 90 days old. CHINESE CABBAGE. This vegetable is easily raised as a succession crop. The plants can be set out in the rows which have been occupied by earlier vegetables. Do not plant too early. COLLARDS. Sow the seed thickly in rows in rich ground, transplanting when about four inches in height; or sow where the plants are to remain and when well-started thin to two or three feet apart in the row. CORN. Plant when all danger of frost is past and the ground is warm and dry. If planted in cold, wet soil, the kernels will rot. Make a shallow hole in the soil with the corner of the hoe. Drop in six kernels of corn. Cover with about one inch of fine soil and press down firmly. This is called a ‘hill’ of corn. Have the hills about four feet apart, and plant in rows about four feet apart. When the corn is six inches high, thin out all except three or four of the strongest plants in each hill. Hoe the corn often, but do not hoe deeply. CUCUMBER. Delay planting until all danger of frost is past. Soil should be warm, fairly moist, and loose. Seed must be covered about one-half inch deep. Plant in hills, dropping eight or ten seeds to the hill. When six inches tall, thin to three in a hill. DANDELION. Sow early in spring in very warm rich soil, in drills; thin to five inches and cultivate well. Plants will be ready for cutting the next spring. When grown for the roots, sow in September and cultivate well during the fall and following summer. The roots can be dug in October. 36 EGG PLANT. This semi-tropical fruit requires con- tinuous warm weather for best results. The seed ger- minates slowly and should be started in a hotbed. Set the plants in the open ground when two inches tall if the weather continues warm. Shade young plants from hot sun and spray with Paris Green to protect from potato bugs. ENDIVE. For early use sow in rows about April 15; for later supply sow in June or July. When well started, thin the plants to one foot apart. When nearly grown, tie the outer leaves together over the center to blanch the heart of the plant. Two or three successive plantings during July will provide endive for winter use. Just before killing frosts in fall, dig the plants, being careful to take plenty of soil with the roots and to avoid injury to the leaves. Pack closely together and store in dark cellar. FENNEL. Culture is about the same as for celery. GARLIC. Separate sections or ‘‘cloves”’ of each bulb and set in rows ten or twelve inches apart and four inches apart intherow. Take upin falland store in cool, dry place. HORSE-RADISH. Set roots in ground vertically, small end down, with tops of roots one to three inches below the surface. Cultivate thoroughly until the leaves cover the ground; their shade will keep down weeds. KALE OR BORECOLE. Sow the seed about one-half inch deep in rows two or three feet apart. When the plants come up, thin them so that they are from 18 to 24 inches apart in the row. KOHL RABI. As early in spring as possible, sow the seed in rows in light, rich soil. When plants are well established, thin to six inches apart in the row. Plant at intervals of ten days for a succession of bulbs until © hot weather, after which they fail to grow. For fall use, plant the last of July. LEEK. Sow in rows early in spring, covering one-half inch deep. Thin the plants to six inches apart in the row and draw the earth about them when cultivating. If you desire very white and tender leeks, transplant when about six inches tall, set four inches apart in trenches about two feet apart, and gradually earth up | like celery.

Sow lettuce seed as soon as the ground can be worked. Make rows the same as for carrots and beets. Sow the seed thinly, letting it run out slowly from the corner of the packet. Cover with about half an inch of soil and press down firmly. If the plants of loose-leaf lettuce look crowded when they come up, thin them a little. Thin head lettuce plants so that they stand about eight inches apart in the row. Have the rows at least eighteen inches apart. Lettuce does best when the weather is cool and moist. MUSKMELON. In sections where summers are short, seed can be planted indoors or in hotbeds in small boxes. The young plants can be transferred to the garden when danger of frost is past. If practicable, spade in a liberal forkful of well-rotted manure at the bottom of each hill. The rows should be at least six feet apart, and the hills two to three feet apart in the rows. In general, the culture is the same as that for cucumber. WATERMELON. Raising watermelons requires about the same culture as muskmelons except that the vines need more room. Hills should be liberally manured, and cultivation careful and thorough. MUSTARD. Sow at the same time as radishes and lettuce. Make the rows in the same way. Sow the seed thinly and cover with about half an inch of soil. Press down firmly. When the plants are about two or three inches high, thin them so that they are about six inches apart in the row. Mustard plants make the best greens when they are given plenty of water so that they grow quickly. OKRA or GUMBO. Okra seed does not germinate well at cool temperatures, and planting should be delayed until the ground is warm. Drop four or five seeds to the foot and cover about an inch deep. Thin to about one and one-half feet in the row and keep thoroughly cultivated. ONION. Onion seed germinates well in cool weather. Plant as soon as the soil can be prepared. Shallow planting is advisable,—one-fourth to one-half inch. When a few inches tall, the young plants can be thinned to prevent crowding, and the plants removed can be used as green onions. After that, they can be pulled as needed, and those left to become fully ripe can be stored for winter. PARSLEY. The seed is even slower to germinate than pars- nip. It grows best in rich mellow soil and should be sown as early as possible in rows with a covering of not more than one-half inch of soil firmly pressed down. When the plants are well up, thin them to eight to twelve inches apart in the row. As soon as those of the curled varieties are about three inches tall, cut off all the leaves; the new growth will be brighter and better curled. Every cutting will improve the quality of the leaves. PARSNIP. Parsnips grow best in loose, rich, sandy loam but will make good roots in any soil that is reasonably rich and deep. Stony soil and raw manure are likely to produce branched or misshapen roots. The seed requires steady abundant moisture for germination and should be sown as early as practicable. Sow in rows and when well up thin to five inches apart in the row. Keep the ground moist if possible. Parsnips are improved by freezing, and a portion of the crop can be left in the ground all winter to be dug in spring when the ground has thawed. PEAS. Peas need moderate temperature, plenty of mois- ture, and long daylight hours. They are not injured by light frosts and may be planted as early in spring as the soil will permit. By planting some of several varieties at the same time, a well-arranged succession can be obtained, extending over a period of 30 days. Successive plantings of a desirable variety will also provide a succession, but this cannot be extended over as long a period with good results. All vari- eties more than one and one-half feet tall do better if staked up or otherwise supported when four to six inches tall. Use sharpened branches of trees set between the double rows.

Culture, soil, and temperature requirements for peppers are about the same as for eggplant. A moderate dressing of guano, poultry manure, or complete commercial fertilizer hoed into the soil after the plants are six to eight inches tall will be beneficial. PUMPKIN. Pumpkins are less sensitive to unfavorable conditions of soil and weather than melons or cucumbers, but they are cultivated in about the same way. RADISH. Sow radish seed as early as the ground can be worked. Make the rows in the same way as for lettuce, beets, and carrots. Sow the seed thinly, and cover with about half an inch of soil. If the plants seem crowded when they come up, thin them out. Radishes will be crisp and tender if they grow quickly and have plenty of moisture. RHUBARB. Sow seed in rows an inch deep and thin the plants to six inches apart. In the fall transplant to a per- manent location, setting the plants three to four feet apart. The stalks should not be taken for use the first year. ROQUETTE. In early spring, sow the seed in shallow rows about 16 in. apart, and for succession sow every few weeks. Water freely. The young leaves are ready for cutting when plants are eight to ten inches tall. RUTABAGA. This vegetable requires a longer growing season than turnip and needs more moisture. Seed may be sown from mid-June to mid-July. Culture is practically the same as for turnip except that the plants should be thinned to eight or ten inches apart in the rows. When grown, pull, top, and store in cool cellar or pit. SALSIFY or VEGETABLE OYSTER. Sow seed early and quite deep, giving about the same culture as for parsnip. Succeeds best in light, rich soil that has been stirred quite deeply. SORREL. Sow in rows early in spring and thin the seed- lings to six or eight inches apart in the row. Cutting may begin in about two months, and the plants will continue in full bearing from three to four years. SPINACH. Plant seed as early as that of radishes and lettuce. Have the soil fine and loose. Make the rows about 18 inches apart. Sow the seed thinly, and cover with about an inch of soil. Press down firmly. When the plants are about three inches tall, thin them so that they are about five inches apart in the row. Keep out the weeds, SQUASH. Plant about the same time as corn, when the ground is warm and dry. Make hills the same as for corn, about four to six feet apart. Put six or eight seeds in each hill. Cover with about an inch of fine soil and press down firmly. When the plants come up, thin them so that only three or four of the strongest ones are left in each hill. Well- rotted manure may be mixed with the soil in each hill before the seeds are planted. SWISS CHARD. Plant at about the same time as lettuce and radishes. Make the rows in the same way, and about 18 inches apart. Sow the seeds about one inch apart in the row, and cover with about an inch of soil. When the plants are three or four inches high, thin them so that they are eight or ten inches apart in the row. Hoe the plants often, and keep out the weeds. TOMATO. Set out tomato plants when the weather is warm and sunny, and there is no danger of frost. Set the plants three or four feet apart each way so that they will have plenty of room. Water around the roots of the plants when setting them out if the ground is dry. Hoe often until the plants are quite large. TURNIP. For summer turnips, sow the seed as early as that of radishes and lettuce. Scatter the seed, or sow it in rows like those of radishes and lettuce. Cover the seed with about half an inch of soil. For fall and winter turnips, sow the seed in July in the same way. 45 —EE————————————— Swiss Chard—delicious for greens Tomato, Pritchard or Scarlet Topper Turnip, Purple Top White Globe Herbs for Flavor and Fragrance Oz. 30c; pkt. 10c Oz. 55c; pkt. 10c Oz. 35c; pkt. 10c Oz. 30c; pkt. 10c Oz. 25c; pkt. 10c Y% Ib. 40c; oz. 20c; pkt. 10c Oz. 25c; pkt. 10c Oz. 55c; pkt. 10c Oz. 55c; pkt. 10c Oz. 55c; pkt. 10c Makes a pretty Oz. 55c; pkt. 10c Oz. 80c; pkt. 10c Oz. 55c; pkt. 10c Oz. 40c; pkt. 10c A great favorite in meat and Oz. 55c; pkt. 10c Oz. 35c; pkt. 10c Oz. 75c; pkt. 10c See “Key Common Name Botanical Name es Ht.

Make the surface fine and smooth by raking. In spring, sow the seed as early as possible, prefer- ably just before a shower, as this will push the seed far enough into the ground to cover it sufficiently. In fall, sow before the autumn rains, early enough so that the young grass can become established before cold weather. ASTORIA BENT (Agrostis capillaris var. from underground rootstalks. Astortana.)
