ASTER GIANT FLOWERING MIXED MILWAUKEE ,WIS. ces - 182 East WISCONSIN AVE GARDEN MAKING THE SOIL. Any ordinary soil may be used, but that best adapted to the successful cultivation of most vegetables and flowers is a rich, sandy loam. The poorest ground may be put into the highest stage of fertility in one or two seasons by the use of a liberal quantity of manure and cultivation. PREPARATION OF THE SOIL. As it seldom happens that any soil will produce the best results without enriching, a liberal supply of manure should be applied. Well decom- posed barnyard manure is best, but where that is not avail- able, commercial fertilizer will take its place. As even the best stable manure contains only a small percentage of the necessary fertilizing elements it is advisable to add a small quantity of a complete commercial fertilizer for the best re- sults. Spread the manure evenly over the surface and dig or plow the ground to a depth of at least ten inches, care- fully avoiding a time when the ground is too wet, especially if it is a clay soil. The ground should then be thoroughly worked over and pulverized. The preparation of the seed bed at this time has much to do with the success or failure of the crops. SEEDS CAREFULLY PLANTED. Hasty or improper planting is the most prolific source of disappointment. In GENERAL INFORMATION TO CUSTOMERS PARCEL POST RATES Packages by parcel post must not exceed 70 pounds in weight for the first three zones, and 50 Ibs. for the other zones.

CURRIE & COMPANY, Milwaukee, Wis. soil that has been well prepared small seeds the size of turnip should be covered to a depth of not more than half an inch, and larger seeds, such as beans and peas from one to three inches deep, taking care not to plant when the ground is too wet. After planting, the soil should be firmly pressed over the rows so as to bring the little particles of earth in close contact with the seed. This is important, as it not alone hastens germination, but prevents evaporation and conse- quent evils of sudden drying of the soil. In small gardens a good plan is to place a board over the planted rows and walk on it. CULTIVATION. Frequent stirring of the surface soil is necessary for the development of the roots. At first deep cultivation is best, lessening the depth as the roots develop, until a mere scratching of the surface soil is all that is re- quired. Deep cultivation at this time often injures the roots, and results in diminished crops of inferior quality. TRANSPLANTING. The plants should be taken up care- fully so as not to injure the roots, setting them out as soon after as possible, pressing the soil firmly about them. Choose a cloudy day if possible. During warm, dry weather it is best to do the work in the evening, watering the plants freely, and cover the wet surface at once with dry soil. Each First | additional PARCEL POST RATES IN THE U. S.

CurrigE & Co. ; A rr Lawn Grass Mixtures A PERMANENT EVERGREEN LAWN AND HOW TO MAKE IT Our many years of practical experience in making lawns is placed at the service of our customers in the mixtures of grass seed we offer. 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 necessary quantity of seed. We recommend the following quantities when seed of first-class quality is used: 1 lb. to 400 square feet; 20 lbs 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 seeds for purity, so that only grasses of a uniformly dwarf, compact growth, making an even surface of rich green is duced. oe 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 lb., 50c; 214 Ibs., $1.20; 5 Ibs., $2.40; 10 Ibs., $4.75; 20 Ibs., $9.25; 50 Ibs., $22.50; 100 Ibs., $40.00. If wanted by mail, add for postage at zone rates. Grass Mixture for Shady Places LAWN GRASS MIXTURE FOR SHADY PLACES Se 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., 70c; 214 Ibs., $1.70; 5 Ibs., $3.25; 10 Ibs., $6.25; 20 Ibs., $12.00; 50 Ibs., $29.00; 100 Ibs., $57.50.

Gn A Petunias DOUBLE LARGE-FLOWERING PETUNIAS Our strains of double flowering Petunias are unsurpassed for beauty and size of flowers and produce a large percentage of double flowers. It is well known that seed saved from the most carefully hybridized flowers produce but a small percentage of double flowers, the balance being single of unusually fine quality. The weaker seedlings should be carefully saved, as these invariably produce the finest double flowers. The same is true of the single sorts, the large, strong seedlings usually being weedy, while the, at first, weaker seedlings produce the very finest flowers of best colorings. It is best to sow Petunias indoors and transplant to the open in May. The Single Bedding kinds can be sown right out of doors in May.

CurrRIE & Co. Ol S25) SWEET PEAS 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 flower- ing 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, FLOWER SEEDS SELECT SWEET PEAS CHOICE GIANT SPENCER Butterfly or Orchid-Flowered.

If wanted by mail, add 10c per dozen roots, 25c per 100. ASPARAGUS Asparagus may be grown in almost any soil, and under nearly all conditions, but succeeds best in a rich, sandy, friable loam with good under drainage, and yet not too dry. Avoid planting near trees or tall shrubs, because of the shade and heavy draft on the fertility 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 commercal fertilizer will do where barn- yard manure is not available. For family gardens dig a trench 18 inches wide for each row, placing a few inches of manure in the bottom, covering it with two or three 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 36 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. ‘Lhe 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 lst. 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 provide 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 vigorous, 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. ea Asparagus may be found suffering from blight, a condition frequentiy 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, 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 3/,-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.

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 5 bearing, higher food value, and above all, earler 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.

Red Hollander Cabbage FLOWER SEEDS =o 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. 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 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 8 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 outdoors, 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 CELERY, One ounce will furnish 5,000 to 10,000 plants.

GOLDEN BANTAM UNSURPASSED .FOR THE SMALL GARDEN, OF RE- MARKABLE QUALITY. ONE OF THE SWEETEST Golden Bantam is a dwarf medium early yellow sweet corn of exceptionally good quality. It is the most popular Sweet Corn for the amateur. The ears are about six inches long, with eight rows of broad kernels, and generally borne two on the stalk. The plant grows about 5 feet high, with heavy foliage. It is particularly adapted to small gardens on account of its small size; to larger gardens on account of its productiveness, and to all because of its excellent quality and delicious flavor. Its compact growth permits of close planting. If planted in hills drop four to six kernels in each hill three feet apart each way. If planted in rows make the rows three feet apart, dropping the kernels nine inches apart in the row. For a continuous supply of this variety make plantings every ten days up to the middle of July.

It resembles a turnip in flavor, and is pre- pared for the table in the same way, but it does not grow underground, forming a bulb instead, a few inches above the roots, from which numerous leaf stalks shoot out, when kohl-rabi is about the size of a baseball, it is ready to be cut for the table. If allowed to grow much larger it gets tough and woody. Kohl-rabi will grow in almost any soil, and is ready for use in a few weeks from the time the seed is sown. Moreover, a succession can be obtained all summer by sowing seeds at intervals of two weeks, and the crop can be stored in sand in the cellar for winter.

Pinch the ends of the most vigorous vines. If barnyard manure is used see that it is well rotted, 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. For the home garden use Milwaukee Market for main crop, and the small Gem type for extra early. 1 oz. to 500 hills; 2 to 3 lbs. per acre.

We prepare mixtures of grasses for a wide range of soils and condi- tions, and there is hardly any land so poor or climate so unfavorable that we cannot furnish 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 Tim- othy 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.

It is better to start your lawn in the fall, say in Sep- tember or early October before the fall rains. A good silt loam is the best soil for lawns but a few inches of black dirt with subsequent care will pro- duce a lawn on almost any subsoil. DRAINAGE Lawns should be well drained. Unless you have good natural drainage, a few lines of tile will be a good investment. PREPARING - THE-GROUND Prepare the subsoil by plowing or digging ten or twelve inches deep. Level and work the surface to remove all clods. If heavy clay, work limestone screenings into the surface at the rate of about two tons to the acre (ten pounds to every hundred square feet). Spread four to six inches of good black sandy loam (not peat) on. top and work till finely pulverized and free from clods. Broadcast twenty pounds of ARMOUR’S LAWN AND GARDEN GROWER per 1,000 square feet, apply- ing one-half in one direction and crossing with the other half so as to obtain even distribution. Rake well into the top soil and wet down thoroughly. Well-rotted manure may be worked into light soil but it must be well-rotted or the weed seeds added will be a serious problem. USE“ ONLY; THES BESot GRASS {SEED Use plenty of grass seed of the variety or mixture recommended by your local seedsman and rake it into the soil. The seed should be covered, but not more than one-half inch. Do not apply the seed until a week after the fertilizer has been applied as the germination of the seed may be retarded if it comes in direct contact with the fertilizer. The ground should then be well watered. SPRING - APPLICATION Just as soon as the frost is out of the ground the next spring, broadcast another application of 20 to 30 pounds per 1,000 square feet of ARMOUR’S LAWN AND GARDEN GROWER. If there are any thin spots, seed them down and rake the seed into the soil, but wait a few days after applying the fertilizer before seeding. If you are starting your lawn in the spring, apply 40 pounds of the fertilizer per 1,000 square feet a few days before seeding. Top-dress the lawn occa- sionally during the summer with the compost mix- ture as recommended under Old Lawns. IMPROVING - OLD - LAWNS The way to improve established lawns is to feed them. More seed will not help unless there is abun- dant plant food present. Available balanced plant food will promote root growth and thicken the grass. Established lawns can be best fertilized a day or two after the frost comes out of the ground = — ———Z" and before any growth starts. There is then no danger of burning the grass. Broadcast 20 to 30 pounds of ARMOUR’S LAWN AND GARDEN ‘GROWER on every 1,000 square feet of surface. (10 feet by 100 feet.) It is best to broadcast one-half the quantity in one direction, crossing again with the other half to give even distribution. Wet down thoroughly immediately after applica- tion if practicable. After the early spring application, the best way to apply fertilizers to existing lawns is by way of top dressing with properly prepared compost. The compost pile should be made of a mixture of half sharp sand and half black soil. To each cubic yard of approximately 2,500 pounds add 30 pounds of fertilizer. Ihe material should be thoroughly mixed and screened. If the compost mixture is dry, it should be well dampened when piled after screening, then allowed to stand a week, turned over, and spread evenly over the lawn at the rate of one-half cubic yard per 1,000 square feet, and wet down thoroughly. The lawn should be freshly cut be- fore the compost is applied and should be raked Or swept after application to work the material down around the grass roots. If it is not feasible to add fertilizer by means of the compost mixture, apply as much as five pounds of fertilizer alone per 1,000 square feet. The fertilizer must be thor- oughly and evenly sown by hand (not just scat- tered) and then well soaked tn. Repeat this applica- tion in a week or ten days. MOWING Cut your lawn regularly and often enough so that the clippings need not be removed for the sake of appearance. Leaving the clippings conserves plant food and forms a mulch over the roots which retains moisture. Allow the grass to go into the winter a little longer to give more protection to the roots. WATERING (Never just “‘Sprinkle’’ a lawn) It is much better to soak a lawn well once a week than to sprinkle lightly each day. Right after cutting is an especially good time to sprinkle as the water will reach the roots promptly and evaporation will be reduced to a minimum. FOR - THE: GARDEN If you would have your gardens the envy of your neighbors, feed them. Food is just as neces- sary to plants as to animals. For economical rais- ing of small vegetables and to have early returns, the ground should be carefully prepared and ARMOUR’S LAWN AND GARDEN GROWER broadcast 4 to 6 pounds per 100 square feet and work well into the top soil a few days before plant- ing. For larger vegetables in rows, use 3 or 4 pounds to each 50 feet of row. For melons, cucumbers, potatoes and other hill or wide row planting use as above or work a scant handful into each hill. It is best to wait several days after apply- ing any fertilizer before planting seed, but if this is not possible, be sure that the fertilizer does not come in direct contact with the seed, otherwise germina- tion n.ay be retarded or even impaired. FOR - FLOWER - BEDS Prepare the bed by working up the soil and broadcast from 4 to 6 pounds of ARMOUR’S LAWN AND GARDEN GROWER over each 100 square feet and work it well into the top soil. Wet down thoroughly and let stand a few days before planting or setting out plants. Apply 1 or 2 pounds per 100: square feet during the summer. Care should be taken that the fertilizer does not come in direct contact with stems or foliage. POTTED PEANES (For 8-Inch Pots) One-half teaspoonful of ARMOUR’S LAWN AND GARDEN GROWER, either mixed into the top soil or the same amount stirred into water and applied to the earth around the plant, will be found effective. Keep well watered. Repeat in 30 days. TREES - AND - SHRUBS Your trees and shrubbery borders will respond well to feeding. A small handful of ARMOUR’S LAWN AND GARDEN GROWER worked into the soil around each shrub or small tree, or in the case of larger trees 4 to 5 pounds per 100 square feet, broadcast around the tree in a circle as far as the branches spread, is the recommended application.
