The first great care in the formation of a lawn is to see that the ground is thoroughly prepared, by being well pulverized, after the soil has been well enriched and worked over. The seed should then be sown, using a liberal quantity so as to insure a thick, even growth. A good lawn may be secured in a few weeks by giving It proper care and the secessary quantity of seed. We recommend the following quantities when seed of first-class quality is used: 1 1b. to 400 square feet: 20 Ibs. to 8,000 square feet; 100 lbs. per acre. For renovating an old worn-out lawn use about half the quantity of seed, working it into the ground as much as possible without disturbing the present growth of grass. Special Evergreen Lawn Grass Mixture Forms a Rich Green Velvety Lawn in Less Than a Month from Time of Sowing. Composed of Only Compact Growing Grasses Which Remain Green Throughout the Entire Season. A splendid mixture of dwarf, compact growing grasses all of which have been thoroughly tested and free from impuri- ties, and put up in the proper proportions for forming a thick, velvety turf. Only the heaviest and best grass seeds are used, all chaff and light non-productive material being carefully removed. The greatest care is taken in the selection of the potest purity, so that only grasses of a uniformly dwarf, compact growth, making an even surface of rich green is produced. During the early summer months we frequently produce a good compact sod from the mixture ready for cutting in less than a month after sowing the seed. While the price of this mixture may seem high, it in reality is the cheapest, being composed of the purest and heaviest seed free from light material and chaff. Price, 1% Ib., 35c; Ib., 65e; 5 Ibs., $3.00; 10 Ibs., $5.75; 20 Ibs., $11.25; 50 Ibs., $28.00; 100 lbs., $55.00. 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. 1% Ib. 40c; 1 1b., 70e; 24% Ibs., $1.70; 5 Ibs., $3.25; 10 Ibs., $6.25; 20 Ibs., $12.00; 50 Ibs., $29.00; 100 Ibs., $57.50. GRASS MIXTURE FOR TERRACES _ This mixture is made up of fine dwarf growing grasses, with strong creeping and fibrous roots that form a compact growth of turf, resisting drought and exposure remarkably well, and when established prevents washing. 14 Ib., 40c; 1 Ib., 7Oc; 5 Ilbs., $3.25; 10 Ibs., $6.25; 20 Ibs., $12.00; 100 Ibs., $57.50.

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 ecnly have attention during the summer months, and for this purpose it will be found invalu- able. 1 Ib., 50c; 5 Ibs., $2.25; 20 Ibs., $8.25; 100 Ibs., $40.00.

FLOWERS FOR WINTER BOUQUETS No class of plants can be grown more easily than the “Ever- lastings.” They thrive in any good garden soil. For a variety of colors the Acroclinum, Ammobium, Gomphrena, Helichrysum, Rhodanthe and Xeranthemum are the favorites, and are pro- duced in brilliant shades of crimson, rose, pink, purple, yellow, orange and white. Seed of these sown in the open ground early in spring will bear quantities of flowers in summer, which should be cut when only half expanded, and hung heads down- ward in a dry place, so the stems will remain straight when dried, and during the process of drying the flowers fully open. Other plants suitable for this purpose are Gypsophila pani- ‘culata, Statice, Honesty, Chinese Lantern Plant, Chinese Wool Flower, Echinops, Eryngium and Pennisetum. 1 pkt. each of the above 14 wariecties, $1.00.

Avoid planting near tree or tall shrubs, because of the shade and heavy draft on the fertili of the ground. Choose an open space with a southern exposure. Put the soil into the best possible condition before planting by working in a liberal quantity of well rotted manure, or commercial fertilizer will do where barn-yard manure is not available. For family gardens dig a trench 18 inches wide for each row, placing z few inches of manure in the bottom, covering it with two or thre inches of soil to prevent the roots coming in contact with the manure before active growth has begun. Set the plants from 15 to 18 inches apart in the rows, and 86 inches between the rows. In field culture it is best to set the plants three to four feet apart. In planting, the roots should be spread by dividing them in the middle, setting them over little hills of soil placed in the bottom of the trench, thus raising the crown a few inches above the extremities of the roots, and at once cover with three or four inches of soil for green, and eight to ten inches for white Asparagus, taking care to press the soil firmly about the roots. The plants may be set either in spring or late in fall. We advise planting in this latitude as early in the spring as the ground can be worked. The Asparagus plant is slow to die down in the fall, so the roots cannot safely be dug until about © November ist. By this time the soil is so cool that the plants do not > root readily, consequently many are winter killed. Frequent cultivation is required to keep down weeds and to pro- vide a mulch of loose earth for the retention of moisture, care being taken not to injure the young sprouts in the operation. ? Cutting should not begin until the plants are strong and vigor- ous, which is generally two or three years after planting, and should — be discontinued after the first of July. Later cropping is done at the expense of weakening the roots. The plants should be allowed — to fully mature before cutting off early in winter, and a top dressing of three or four inches of barn-yard manure applied. Asparagus - being a gross feeder, naturally requires heavy fertilizing, and an application of commercial fertilizer early in spring will be beneficial. . Asparagus may be found suffering from blight, a condition fre- quently brought on by prolonging the cropping season, thereby weakening the roots, or it may be due to a want of fertility. So as to prevent it, apply a liberal quantity of manure every year, and above all avoid extending the cutting period too long. Should blight appear, however, spray the plants freely with Bordeaux Mixture 6 and destroy the affected parts. = Asparagus seed should be sown as early as possible in spring, scattering the seed an inch apart in drills, covering with %-inch of soil, After the plants are well up, thin to stand 2 inches apart. Keep the ground well cultivated and the plants will be ready to set out in permanent beds the following spring. One ounce of seed for 300 plants.

Q “ot Garden beans should be inoculated the same as all other legumes, The bacteria attach themselves to the roots forming nodules—simply colonies. masses of germs. These germs take nitragin from the air, supplying it to the plant, causing increased growth, more prolific bearing, higher food value, and above all, earlier maturity. Inoculated beans come into bearing earlier, often 10 days to 2 weeks earlier than when not inoculated. When ordering, state bacteria is wanted for garden beans. NITRAGIN INOCULATING BACTERIA.

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. About the middle of August the banking of the early crop can be begun. Earth may be drawn up around the plants or a twelve-foot board may be set on edge each side of the row. The boards should incline toward each other so that they will be only three inches apart at the top. Cleats or hooks will hold them in place. From 10 to 20 days will be needed to blanch the celery. When there are only a few plants they may be wrapped with paper or tiles set over them. Celery for winter needs less earthing up, as it will blanch after being stored. Before freezing weather comes the plants should be lifted and the outside leaves removed. Then they should be stored in a cool cellar or in a vegetable pit out- doors, being set closely together on the floor. The plants will keep well into the winter if simply set in trenches in the garden, being covered with boards over which hay, straw, leaves or manure is thrown. Golden Self-Blanching Celery.

Green Curled is the best for general use, and is easily blanched by covering the full-grown plants with boards or pieces of slate. After severe frost the plants may be removed and planted closely in a cellar for winter use. The seed should be sown in rows about 2 feet apart and 1% inch deep in the drill. When sufficiently grown, thin the plants out to 8 inches apart and cultivate thoroughly while growing. A very early crop may be grown by starting the seed in hotbed, greenhouse, or window box. Good results come from early spring sowing, and even better, when treated as a fall crop.

Musk Melon Plant in warm, rich soil in hills 6 feet apart, plac- ing eight or ten seeds in each hill, and when danger from insects is past, thin out the plants to four of the strongest. Pinch the ends of the most vigorous vines. If barnyard manure is used see that it is well rot- ted, and thoroughly mixed with the soil. In this latitude it is advisable to start the seed in paper pots indoors, or between two pieces of inverted turf to insure an early crop. To keep off insects use Pyrox for the striped beetle and a nicotine spray for aphis. To prevent blight, after the plants have four or six leaves use Bordeaux Mixture, to which may be added arsenate of lead for eating insects.

GE FARM SEEDS® Alfalfa «vcerse. Prices subject to market changes without notice. The great value of Alfalfa to the stockman cannot be overestimated. No other forage crop combines so many excellent feeding qualities. The fact that three or four heavy crops of it can be cut every season should alone be an incentive to every farmer to put down at least a few acres of it. Alfalfa can be grown successfully in every state in the Union; the soil, however, should be deep and well drained. It will not succeed on heavy, sticky clay ground, or where water stands a short distance below the surface. Before sowing the seed see that the ground is well prepared by being thoroughly pulverized. Any extra work ‘put on the ground at this time will be well repaid in the crop. If sown in spring, wait until the ground is warm, sowing from 20 to 30 lbs. of seed to the acre.

Sweet Peas should be planted as early in spring as the ground can be worked. tich 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. 82 Select Sweet Peas CHOICE GIANT SPENCER Butterfly or Orchid-Flowered.
