Alabama Cennecticut Delaware Dist. of Columbia Florida Georgia Illinois Indiana Kentucky Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigag Mississippi New Hampshire New Jersey New York North Carolina Ohio Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carelina Tennessee Vermont Virginia Weet Virginia Wisconsin Novelties and Specialties in Vegetables N presenting our Garden and Farm Manual for 1913, we wish to express our thanks to the thousands of customers for their generous patronage, which we have enjoyed in the past, and to assure them that we will use our best endeavors to merit a continuance of their good-will and orders in the years tocome. Many, no doubt, dislike to order but a few packets of seed which may be wanted, but we would like to emphasize the fact that we solicit the orders of all buyers, no matter how small or how large. While laying particular stress upon the newer varieties, we are very particular with our regular strains of standard old sort varie- ties, that perhaps have been your favorites and stand-=bys for years. NEW ASP ARAGUS Starkey’s Mammoth Prolific Originated and selected by one of Philadelphia’s most successful market gardeners, who for a few years past, has sent the largest and handsomest Asparagus to this market, realizing very high prices and by far the most profit- able variety in Philadelphia markets where it is becoming well known. Stalks are very large, tender, succulent and distinct bright green in color. Stalks measure 1 to 2 inches in diam- eter and have been known to weigh Yj |b. each. Mr. Starkey is a high cultivator and is usually one of the first inthemarket. Seed: pkt., 5c.;0z., 10c., % lb., 30c.; lb., $1.15.

A NEW BEAN The Full Measure In the Full Measure we have another stringless, round, green-podded Bush Bean, the result of a cross by careful hybridization between the fam- ous Yosemite Mammoth Wax and the old-fashioned Refugee, or 1,000 to 1, and it inherits the good qualities of both of these famous Beans. The pods are often 5 to 5% inches long, round, firm and tender, and remain filled for use many days after arriving at their full size’ Pricemapkiy 1 0c: pt., 30c., by mail, postpaid; by ex- press or freight; pt .20G gt.) o0c:; peck, $1.35; bush., $5.00.

NOVELTIES AND SPECIAL E/(ES 5 1 NEW CABBAGE—GERMAN NOFALT The above is a photograph of a New German Cabbage sent out in 1911 for the first time in America, originated near Erfurt, Germany, as grown on our trial grounds; here it proved to be one of the earliest of the large varieties; handsomest, hardest heading and most productive of all. On a large tract devoted to it, not a single plant showed the slightest variation from its true and valuable type, every one forming a large, solid white head of the finest quality, and of an ideal size for mar- keting. Prices for seed in 1913: Pkt., 15c.; oz., 45c.; 2 ozs., 80c.; % lb., $1.25; Ib., $4.50. JOHNSON’S HEADWELL CABBAGE JOHNSON’S HEADWELL CABBAGE—FROM A PHOTOGRAPH. Seed now offered for sale for the first time. To have this new cabbage from Long Island _ thoroughly tested in all sections, we sent out several thousand trial packets last Spring and refer to the following reports, being a small part of those received, but all we have room to publish on this page. The name suggesting Johnson’s Headwell was suggested by our old friend and customer, W. W. Foust, of Barnegat, N. J.

ScHILLING, Liberty, Miss.. writes:—** Will say in regard to trial package new Cabbage (Johnson’s Head- well), sent last spring. that it is the finest of all early large Cabbages, al] other seeds that come from the Johnson Seed Com- pany are very fine. none better can be had.” 6 JOHNSON SEED COMPANY JOHNSON’S THUNDERHEAD CABBAGE For many years the finest cabbage as well as the best cabbage seed grown in America comes from the eastern end of Long Island. Hundreds of growers there depend entirely on their crops of cabbage, dozens of whom have their own varieties or strains selected by themselves. By keeping in touch with these growers, we have secured seed stock of several new and distinct sorts by offering tempting and fabulous prices fer our stock seed. We believe in the New Thunderhead we have the very best second early and one of the best main crop cabbages ever sent out, and we want every cabbage grower to give it a trial. Pkt., 15c.; 0z., 50c.; 2 ozs., $1.00; % |lb., $1.50; lb., $5.00. COPENHAGEN MARKET CABBAGE Copenhagen Market is certainly a valuable new, very early cabbage, producing round, hard heads very early in the season. It is the most popular early cabbage in the markets of Copenhagen, always of excellent quality. The plants are short stemmed Thelight green colored leavesare medium in size. It isa vigorous grower and yielder, as are all cabbages from Denmark. and an excellent keeper. Packet, 10c.; ounce, 55c.; quarter pound, $1.50; pound, $5.75. NEW SWEET CORN—QUINCY MARKET A new early sweet corn, seed of which is now offered for the first time. On our trial grounds there was no other second early variety that gave us equal satisfaction. Excellent for the family garden as well as for a market variety. In the Quincy and Boston markets it is often sold as Crosby Early, which it so mewhat resembles, coming in about the same time, and it holds the same rank among the early varieties fo r sweetness as Potter’s Evergreen does among the later sorts. It comes in just after the Cory and with the Crosby, but is larger than either. We recommend it as the best of all the early sorts. Price, pkt., 19c.; pint, 25c.; qt., 40c.; postpaid.

NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES 7 New Long-Keeping Celery JOHNSON’S MANHATTAN This is no doubt the finest type of late Winter keeping celery ever offered, even surpassing in this respect our famous Winter Queen Celery. Our attention was first called to it in New York markets four years ago, and upon investigation we learned the name of the grower on Long Island and secured from him, at high cost, a few ounces of seed, from which our present supply is grown. It is the heaviest green celery, full hearted, very solid and exisp. Pkp.,715c::. oz., 50c.; % Ib., $1.25; Ib., $4.75. NEW COLUMBIA CELERY A great acquisition in earliness, showy form and superior quality. Market gardeners in all sections where grown Say it outsells all others. The plant is of medium height, but very stocky and heavy. Stalks are thick, resembling in shape those of Giant Pascal. The color has in it more of the rich yellow tint of Paris Golden Self-Blanching. The foliage is of a distinctly light shade of green, with a tinge of yellow. In season it follows in close succession Golden Self-Blanching. Pkt, 20c:; o22,-50c:;. 24 Ib., $1,535; tb., $5.00. Paris Golden Self-Blanching Celery This most valuable of all celeries, for either the amateur or market gardener, is grown and selected for us by the originator in France as Johnson’s XXX Strain. It is remarkably early, entirely self-blanching, with large, beautiful golden yellow heart, very crisp, solid and nutty. A fact that speaks for itself is that we received orders for more of the seed last season than we could grow, from some of the largest celery growers in the United States, men who make celery practically their only crop, and who, therefore, can afford to take no chances on their most important crop. Crop of seed very short. Erice, pkt.; 25¢.> oz:, ol.90% 34 tb.,.$5.50. American Grown Golden Self-Blanch- ing.

It can be planted earlier than any of the sugar varieties and will give good ears two to three weeks ahead of the earliest of them.

Morse’s Golden Cream Sweet Corn A valuable new corn being a cross of Golden Bantam and Country Gentleman, made by Thomas Gould, of California, a few years ago, and to whom Mr. Morse paid $100.00 for one dozen ears. Morse’s Golden Cream is a very early, yellow Country Gentleman Sweet Corn. The kernels are long and pointed, the cob is very slender and the whole ear about as long as Golden Bantam. The flavor is remarkable—in fact, very much the same as Golden Bantam. The habit of growth is rather dwarf and the stalks bear three to four ears. The stalks are brownish red and the silk is also brown at the tips. The cut herewith indicates that the corn is quite identical in appearance with Country Gentle- man. It is, however, among our earliest varieties and the color at eating stage is a rich cream cooking to a light golden yellow. We offer seed for the first time, grown in Con- necticut the past season.

All made a fine head, which stood the heat perfectly, and I got good prices for it. S. Forster, Hartford, Conn., writes:—‘* Holyrood with- stands heat and drought better than any other lettuce. Out of 9,000 heads only 10 went to seed.”’ J. I.

Lo - : (JOHNSON'S NEW EARLY YELLOW GLOBE JOHNSON’S New Long-Keeping PRIZETAKER ONION Since its introduction in 1888, the old Prizetaker Onion has grown in popularity, the only objection being its keeping qualities, which have not been up to the standard of many of the American varieties. For several years past, however, a prominent California onion grower has been making selections and breed- ing the old Prizetaker, until he has obtained a strain which, in keeping quality, is fully equal to Danvers and the Southport Globes. The strain is by far the largest in size and handsomest in shape of all the Yellow Globe Onions. We own and control the entire crop of seed and bulbs of the originator.

The New Pea That All Progressive Garden- ers Should Try Potlatch is Chenook Indian name for Big Dinner; hence the name Potlatch. The vines are vigorous, growing 20 to 24 inches high, with unusually dark green foliage, which can be distinguished from that of other peas. The long pods are a rich dark green in color, often measuring 6 to 7 inches, with 9 to 10 enormous peas in a pod. The growth of vine is sturdy and pods are borne in pairs; it is a wonder in productiveness, and the way the peas shell out is remarkable. Pot- latch matures early, being ready for table use in 62 days on our trial grounds; no variety known will produce more pods, shell better, or contain more tender and delicious peas to the pod. Seed green, wrinkled and very large in size. The pea crop in 1911 was the short- est in 40 years, and we consider ourselves very fortunate in securing a few bushels the past season, not- withstanding, regret that we cannot offer it in larger quantities than 4 quarts, and we expect to be sold out early in the season.

Turveatt, Greenfield, Missouri, writes:— ““While records are constantly being broken I think it will be some time before Green’s Improved Earliana is im- proved upon when all its points of superiority are considered, its extreme earliness is a winner, but better than that its tender meat and fine flavor with vines carrying more fruit than any we ever planted, makes a combination that can’t be beat.”’ JoHN P. Davis, Buckatima, Miss., writes :—‘* Green’s Earliana Tomatoes are splendid. I gathered first picking on May Sth and every day until September 15th. They are larger than I expected, and most prolific bearers; I think they are the firmest and best keeping variety I ever saw.

MUCH SUPERIOR TO CALIFORNIA GROWN FORD’S MAMMOTH PODDED POLE LIMA BEAN This Lima Bean is the result of over twenty years’ selection by the late Jas. Ford, who was one of the oldest market gardeners around Phila- delphia. The pods grow to an average length of 8 inches, are produced in great clusters, with from five to seven beans per pod, of most excel- lent quality for using either green or dry. The © vines grow vigorously, setting the beans early at the bottom of the pole, and continue in bearing right up to frost. Ford’s Mammoth Podded is, without exception, the largest podded, finest flavored and most productive of all Pole Lima Beans.

SHOTWELL’S IMPROVED THICK POLE LIMA BEAN Originated by one of the best and most ex- perienced growers of Northern New Jersey. It is of the thick or Potato Lima class, but will be found a decided improvement on the Dreer’s Improved Pole Lima or any other bean of its class in earliness, productiveness and fine quality. All claims made for it have been fully substanti- ated by hundreds of our customers who tried it in past seasons, and we regret we have not room here to publish the many strong recommenda- tions received from them.

Immense size. Wonderfully productive. This new variety is at least one week earlier than any large Pole Lima yet offered, and two weeks earlier than most varieties. Earliness often means the sacrifice of other valuable features, but in this variety the good features of the later sorts are retained. It is wonderfully productive, the pods and beans immense and the flavor delicious. Price: pkt., 1oc.; pint, 30c.; qt., 55c., postpaid; by express, qt., 4oc.; peck, $2.00; bush., $7.50.

LANIER’S SUPERBA BEET For more than fifty years and until his death, It is earlier than the old Extra Early Egyptian, larger in size, smooth, and of the form as shown in our photographic illustration above. It retains its superior quality and does not become woody and tasteless like the old Egyptian, when allowed to stand too long. It may be sown outside as late as July. This beet was originated from the Extra Early Egyptian by Mr. Crosby, and is a very shy seeder. Our stock is grown from stock seed, se- lected by the originator, and is superior in every way.

Flesh is deep red, containing less water and more sugar than any other Mangel, making it more nutritious and milk-producing. Sheep also thrive better when fed on it, picking out pieces of it in preference to other kinds. It was originated in Scotland, where it has been known to produce 60 tons to the acre.

TABER’S GATE-POST The Largest and Best Yellow Man¢gel Originated by Mr. Taber, the prominent English seed grower. Since its introduction in England and in this coun- try, a few years since, has rapidly popularized itself, and is pronounced by leading farmers the most useful Mangel that can be grown. Its handsome, clean roots are very heavy, often weighing 40 pounds and over, and producing 2,000 to 2,500 bushels to the acre.

It does not pay, therefore, to take any risk in buying seed. Much of the seed commonly sold has not had the great care necessary in growing to make it reliable. Our Cabbage Seed is the very best that can be grown, raised only from the center shoots and from carefully selected solid heads. Our crops are all personally inspected with untiring care and watchfulness. Asa standing evidence of its quality, we annually supply hundreds of the best market gardeners about Philadelphia, New York, Chicago and other large cities.

JOHNSON’S FIVE-EARED SUGAR CORN Five years ago on our trial grounds we found a stalk of corn containing five well-filled ears. These were carefully saved and planted on strong ground, and to our surprise almost every stalk bore five good ears which, after careful selection, were again planted, until we now have a variety which on strong ground and with good cultivation will invariably produce five good, well-developed ears to the stalk. The ears are of medium size, with irregular rows, somewhat similar to the old Shoe Peg, which is one of its parents.

While the fruits are not always quite as large as Black Beauty, it ripens fully ten days earlier and is suited to more northern climates. The plants pranch freely near the ground and grow in well-rounded bushes. The fruits are thick, of most attractive shape, and in color a lustrous purplish black, This coloring is uniform over the whole fruit, and does not fade at the blossom end, as do so many of the older varieties.

Explorer for the office of Plant Introduction of the United States Department of Agriculture. The roots grow to a very large size, perfectly white, and suited to almost any soil. Roots set in April will yield a large crop in October. Grows much more rapidly than the old variety, and its flavor is the very best; especially is the difference noticeable in early fall, when the old variety would be too green for use. It is a profitable crop for the farmer, and should be planted in every home garden, as it can be grown as easily as potatoes or corn, simply by sticking down the cuttings in rows, cultivating same as cabbage, and plow out in the fall or spring, same as potatoes, parsnips or carrots.

PODDED OKRA This distinct new okra is by far the best. It was origi- nated by M. B. Per- kins, a well-known New Jersey trucker, after many years of careful study and se- lection. Its produc- tiveness is simply wonderful. The pods shoot out from the stalk within 3 in- ches of the ground, and the whole plant is covered with them to the extreme height of the plant. The pods are an intense green color, of un- usual length, 8 to 9 inches, very slim, and do not get hard, as is the case with other okras. It is also much sought after by canners, be- ing the best of all green sorts for can- ning for winter use. Our seed is grown by the originator.

See photograph and testimonials, page 12. There is no vegetable in which the quality of the seed exerts a greater influence upon the crop than in onions. -Our stock is all grown from choice bulbs, selected by hand, and is unsurpassed in this country. During our whole business career ag seedsmen, it has always been our aim to make quality a first consideration, price afterwards, and in no one crop have we met with greater reward than in onions. One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill. To grow large onions from seed, 5 pounds to the acre; to grow small sets, 50 to 60 pounds to the acre are required. For full information for culture, storage and mar- keting onions and onion sets, see our New Leaflet=Essays on this subject, which will be sent free with all orders for onion seed, when requested.

Note our reasonable prices for the quality we furnish. No better to be had at any price. THE 100-DAY BRISTOL FIELD CORN When a few years since, before naming and introducing it, I first saw this corn growing in the field, with its enormous stalks and fodder, one-half again as high as an ordinary-sized man, and its mag- nificent ears, averaging nearly a foot in length, as shown in the photo- graph, I was inclined to doubt its earliness. But after growing it our- selves and on the farms of hundreds of customers, we have found it cut and shocked, ready for husking in ninety-five to one hundred days from the time the seed was planted. The grain is a light yellow; the cob is small considering the size of the ear. It will produce as much fodder and more corn than the famous Chester County Mammoth and other late varieties, which require three to four weeks longer to ripen. It is very high in protein, making it a fine ensilage corn. In fact, it is a perfect field corn in all respects. Prices, pkt., Ioc.; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c., postpaid by mail; by express or freight, shelled, peck, 60c.; bush., $2.50; sack of 2 bush., $3.60; 10 bush. and over, $1.75 per bush.; 50 ears, $2.75; 100 ears, $5.00, sacks included. JOHNSON’S IMIPROVED LEAMING CORN I feel it a great honor to have been the first to call attention to the great value of the Improved Leaming Corn, twenty-one years ago, since which time it has grown in popularity each season, and is now catalogued by nearly every seedsman in America. It is probably more largely planted now, both in the Northern and Southern States, than any other field corn known. This and the 100-Day Bristol Corn are by far the earliest and best large-eared Early Yellow Dent Corns in cultivation. The ears are large and handsome, with good grain, of deep orange color and small red cob. Stalks grow to medium size (not large) with few suckers, slender and leafy, making most excellent fodder, producing two good ears to each stalk; husks and shells easily. It ripens in 90 to 100 days, and never fails to make a good crop even in dry seasons, by reason of its earliness in maturing and strong, vigorous growth. One hundred and thirty-six bushels shelled corn have been grown to the acre on good corn ground. It is also adapted to a greater variety of soils than other varieties, producing unusually well on light or heavy land, where other varieties would not thrive, and also in the extreme Northern States, where it has be- come very popular for fodder and ensilage purposes. Much of the so-called Leaming Corn of other catalogues is not the true improved strain as selected and grown by ourselves in Chester County, Pa.

AUSTIN’S COLOSSAL YELLOW DENT CORN A WONDER IN LARGE SIZE OF EARS, UNIFORMLY OVER A FOOT IN LENGTH The writer first saw this new corn while visiting the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo, in 1901. Of the hundreds of varieties there exhibited, from almost every State in the Union, it carried off the honors, and I feel justly proud in being the first to procure the seed from its éxperienced originator, Mr. H. W. Austin, to offer for sale. The yield on the farm of the originator in past seasons has averaged over 100 bushels to the acre, and in the most unfavorable seasons it has never given anything but a good yield of its magnificent ears, borne two to a stalk, ripening in 115 to 125 days from planting; grain deep, rich yellow, very heavy, and will sell for the highest prices on any market in the land; stalks medium, not too large, and produce enormously on both light and heavy land. Prices: pkt., 10c.; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c., by mail, postpaid; by freight or express, sacks included, peck, 65c.; bush., $2.00; bag of 2 bush. for $3.75. Photograph of an average ear and section of ear of JOHNSON’S GIANT BEAUTY. Notice how the butt and end of ear is filled at tip, also smallness of cob, both of which are valuable features of this corn. Johnson’s Giant Beauty Field Corn Giant Beauty is a cross between Cloud’s Early Dent and Golden Beauty, possessing the earliness, large-sized ear and deep grain of the former, with the handsome, deep yellow color of the latter. Its rich, golden color indicates its strong, nutritive qualities. feet in height, producing two large ears, well filled to the extreme ends of the cob. and has become very popular in the famous corn sections of Delaware and Chester Counties, Pa.

E.nsilage and Fodder Corns: RED-COB ENSILAGE CORN This new and superior ensilage corn we can recommend as the heaviest cropping variety, and best for the purpose, producing 50 to 75 tons per acre. It is a pure White Dent Corn, growing on aredcob. The fodder is very leafy, with short joints, sweet, tender, juicy, grows I3 to 14 feet in height. Peck, 45c.; bush., $1.60; Io bush. and over, $1.50 per bush., sacks included. BLUNT’S PROLIFIC ENSILAGE CORN Aiso called Mammoth Ensilage. Has pro- duced 70 tons of fodder to the acre, and is one of the most popular, producing two ears to the stalk; white ears of medium size; is earlier than the Red Cob Ensilage. Peck, 65c.; bush., $1.75; sack of 2 bush., $3.35; 10 bush. and over, $1.65 per bush. SUGAR CORN FOR GREEN FODDER Contains a larger percentage of saccharine in the stalks on account of being a Sugar Corn, which is especially grown for fodder purposes, being of quick growth and early maturity. Sown at the rate of two bushels per acre, in drills four feet apart, _ it makes splendid stalks 6 to 8 feet in height, which are of the finest quality for feeding green, cutting for ensilage, or curing for fodder. By express or freight: per qt., I5c.; peck, 65c.; bush., $2.35; 10 bush. and over, $2.25 per bush. WHAT OTHERS SAY OF JOHNSON’S SELECTED SEED CORN AND OATS “Your 100-DAY BRISTOL is the best field of corn in this section. The potatoes from your seed are also away above the average.’—HowarpD VAN SYCKLE, Lebanon, N. J. ““I had a very fine lot of corn last year from your IM- PROVED LEAMING seed. It was planted near the road, and every farmer who saw it wanted to know where I got my seed. I have referred a number to you from this section.’””-— D. T. LINDLEY, Canton, Pa. “All who have seen my crop of AUSTIN’S COLOSSAL CORN are astonished and loud in its praise. I shall send you a photo of an ear that is 19 incheslong. It isa most wonderful corn.””-—JouHN C. FoouLiGeEr, Cincinnati, O. “I am more than pleased with JOHNSON’S GIANT BEAUTY CORN. It isa most vigorous grower and yielded “double any other variety grown here.”—SAMUEL JONES, Cleveland, O. “T raised 50 Ibs. of WASHINGTON OATS from one pound of seed I purchased from you. They gave 17 to 21 stalks from each kernel, beating all others I have ever grown.” —A. A. HALL, Agate, Ore. “Your GOLDEN FLEECE OATS yielded 50 bushels to the acre; they are the finest and heaviest oats grown in this section.’”"—-FRANCIS T. MORRELL, Torresdale, Pa. 56 JOHNSON SEED COMPANY Choice Northern Grown Seed Oats ¢1"4y NEW WASHINGTON The seed of this new white oat was first procured from Professor Carlton, of the U. S. Department of Agricul- ture, who pronounced them at the head of the Oat kingdom. Prof. Moore, at experimental sta- tion, says: ‘‘ New, heaviest, thinnest hull, stiffest straw, best of thirty-six va- rieties ; weight, 36 to 40 lbs. measured bushel.’? A small field of 2 acres yielded 227 bushels. Our grower in Ontario County, N. Y., says: “They are the finest oats we have ever grown ; straw 4to 5 feettall; many heads 10 to 12inches long (as shown in our photo- graph alongside); they do not rust ; stand up well; the plump meats make it the greatest of all oats.’ One of the largest and most experienced oat grow- ers in Chester County, Pa., says: ‘‘ Its wonderful productiveness is far beyond what the most enthusiastic farmers in this section ever expected to realize.’ Another says: ‘‘Twenty bushels per acre more than Welcome or Lincoln.’’ Another grower says: ‘‘ The best oats we haveever grown; about one week earlier than others ; stand up well ; do not rust; yield over 90 bushels per acre.” Prices for 1913.

GOLDEN FLEECE OATS - This splendid oat was first introduced in 1901, and hundreds of our customers have written us ofits merits. It is, without doubt, one of the heaviest croppers, with possibly the exception of the New Washington, described above. The grains are white, plump and handsome. The straw is very strong and stands up well. The blade is double the size of ordinary oats, which attests the vigor and productive capacity of the strain. On account of its heavy stooling property, 6 pecks (13 bushels) is sufficient to seed an acre. Price, per lb., 25c.; 3 lbs., 60c., by mail, postpaid ; by freight or express, peck, 4Vc.; legal bush.

SELECTED FARM SEEDS 57 SPRING RYE—A More Profitable Crop Than Oats Distinct from the Winter rye; grain of finer quality and more pro- ductive; can be successfully grown in any latitude, and is now being largely sown in the Middle States in place of oats, on account of the pro- duction of nearly four times the straw, and also as a ‘‘catch’”’ crop where Winter grain has failed. The straw is equally as valuable as that of the Fall or Winter rye, standing stiff, 7 to 8 feet high. Produces 30 to 40 bushels of grain per acre. As it does not stool like Winter rye, not less than two bushels to the acre should be sown. Pkt., 10c.; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c., postpaid; peck, 50c.; bush., $1.75; 5 bush. and over, $1.65 per bush. SPRING WHEAT FROM THE NORTH Saskatchewan Fife. This wheat is pronounced by the great milling kings of the Northwest the best. Fifty bushels to the acre is not an un- common yield. Pkt., Ioc.; lb., 35c.; 3 lbs., $1.00, postpaid; by express or freight, peck, 75c.; bush., $2.50; 5 bush. and over, $2.25 per bush. SPELTZ, OR EMMER (Triticum Sphelta). A New Grain This new Russian grain is intermediate between wheat and barley, and is readily eaten by all kinds of stock. It is adapted for milling, as well as for feeding, making a grade of flour similar to rye. The straw resembles wheat straw. It grows large crops—4o to 80 bushels per acre —on poor lands, stony ground and open prairies, and will give double the crop of oats or barley.

JAPANESE MILLET—Field Fant which our seed was saved 58 JOHNSON SEED COMPANY FODDER AND SOILING PLANTS PEAS For ee and Plowing Under FIELD OF SOUTHERN BLACK OR RAM’S HORN COW PEAS IN THE NORTH. COW PEAS (The Great Soil Improver) Make Poor Land Rich, Good Land More Pro- ductive, and Enrich the Soil Green crops plowed under are one of the best and cheapest ways of improving the soil. For this purpose the cow pea is most popular, especially for medium or light soil. They should be sown in May or June, at the rate of 1% bushels to the acre, and plowed under as soon as they have attained their full growth. There is no surer or cheaper means of improving poor soil than. by sowing cow peas. COW PEAS FOR HAY If planted early, say by middle of May, in the central corn belt section, a crop can be cut and cured for hay the same as clover, then-the stubble, in a short time, will put out a new growth to be turned under in the Fall as a fertilizer. The best varieties of Gow Peas for all purposes are the following: SOUTHERN BLACK EYE COW PEA. SOUTHERN BLACK, or RAM’S HORN. WHIP-POOR-WILL, CLAY and NEW ERA. Small quantities by mail, postpaid. Pkt., Ioc.; pint, 20c.; qt., 35c. Write for prices by the bushel, as they vary with the market. Canada Field Peas and Oats for Fodder These make a fodder and hay which double the production of milk. The Canada Field Pea, which we sell at about $2.75 per bushel, is the best for this purpose. They should be sown in March or early April, two bushels of peas and twe bushels of oats to the acre. The peas should be sown first and plowed under about four inches deep; the oats then sown and harrowed in. They will be ready for cutting about the latter end of June, when the oats are in milk and the pods formed on the peas. It is a nutritious food and relished by all stock. SOWN JUNE 16th, PLOWED UNDER AUGUST 3iIst. SOJA OR JAPANESE SOY BEAN The demand for the Soja Beans has grown remarkably of late years. Their great value is as a forage crop, for fertilizing the soil and for pasturing or feeding the green fodder much in the same way as the cow pea.

SAND OR WINTER VETCH For forage and fertilizing purposes; it succeeds and produces good crops on poor, sandy soils as well as on good lands, growing to a height of 4 to 5 feet. It is perfectly hardy throughout the United States, remaining green all winter. If sown in the Spring, it can be sown alone or mixed with oats, Spring rye or barley. If sown during August or September, Winter rye serves as a good support. The root growth is very extensive from the begin- ning, and makes quantities of nitrogen tubercles, thus giving it very valuable fertilizing properties. Sow 30 to 50 pounds per acre, with % bushel rye, oats or barley. Price, per lb., 30c.; 3 lbs.. 75c., by mail, postpaid; by freight or express, lb., 20c.; 10 lbs., $1.50; bush. of 60 lbs., $8.00. EARLY AMBER SUGAR CANE The high value of Northern grown sugar cane for fodder and ensilage is becoming rapidly known. When fed down young as a pasture it grows rapidly again. The seed and fodder is valuable as food for horses and cattle, seed is greedily eaten by poultry, increasing egg production.

TRUE DWARF ESSEX RAPE Dwarf Essex Rape is largely grown on account of its rapid growth, producing twenty-five to thirty tons of green forage to the acre. It grows to a height of 3 feet and covers the surface so densely as to smother out all weeds. While unequaled as a pasture for sheep, as a food for all cattle, calves or pigs, it is without a rival, its fattening properties being twice as great as clover, making a much rel- ished food from May to December. Lb., 25c.; 3 lbs., 60c., postpaid; by express or freight, lb., 15c.; 10 Ibs., $1.50; 25 lbs., $3.00; bush. of 50 lbs., $5.75.

There is no difficulty in getting a good stand, if care is taken in putting it in right and taking care of it afterwards. Sow inthe spring or in August, as preferred, at the rate of 25 to 40 Ibs. per acre ; see that the soil is sweet and well manured.

It is a well-ascertained fact that a thick and more prolonged growth is produced by a mixture of many sorts of grasses than by only one or two. For every different kind and condition of soil there are grasses that are especially suitable. Some roature early, others late; so that from the beginning of spring until winter sets in, there is no time when one species or another is not at its best. For this reason, the judicious selection of grass seed, for the creation of a beautiful lawn or grass plot, or a durable pasture or hay crop, requires a knowledge obtained only by an intimate study of the habits of varieties as respects quality of herbage and vigor of constitution. It is not sufficient to select the one grass indigenous to the soil or climate, for it may not ossess the many qualities requisite for the purpose desired, for hardiness and permanence, which com- ination of qualities and character is best found in a mixture of sorts. A quart of Lawn Grass will sow about 300 square feet. Three to four bushels will sow an acre. Instructions how to prepare and sow a lawn accompanv each nackage or bag of seed.

They are equipped with the same type of high-grade thermostat as used on the Standard Cyphers Incubator—you can therefore depend upon an even, steady temperature in the hover, and a lively, thrifty, growing lot of chicks. These Cyphers 1913 Brooders, all sizes and styles, are self-regulating, self- ventilating and varmint-proof, The outdoor styles are usable also as colony coops for the growing chicks. They are easily and quickly converted into colony rvosting coops by simply taking out the hover, which is made removable for that purpose. STYLE B OUTDOOR BROODER SS ee (Three apartments. Safest and STYLE A OUTDOOR BROOD most popular ‘‘Foster Mother”’ Fire-proof and Insurable ever designed. ) THIS DOUBLE USE of the Cyphers Brooder means a considerable saving of money. It makes a safe and comfortable enclosure for the young chicks at night, and saves the buying of a coop for them. These outdoor brooders, on account of their fire-proof construction, can be used indoors, although we supply a special brooder, Style D, for indoor pur- poses. All Cyphers 1913 Brooders, both outdoor and indoor, contain either two or three apartments. The popular Style B (shown in illustration herewith), contains three apartments; first, roomy space under the hover; second, hover chamber, third, well lighted exercising apartment.

It should be noted that the Cyphers Company’s Adaptable Hover is self- regulating and self-ventilating as a separate device irrespective of the brooder case or other enclosure in which it is used. It is the temperature under™ neath the hover that is regulated, and pure, warmed air is delivered to this point from the fresh-air chamber, regardless of other conditions: ADAPTABLE HOVER (Self-regulating and bears Insurance Label as separate device.) Shows side view of combined Fire-proof Heater and Standard Adaptable Hover, ready for use. Device can be mounted; that is, joined together, in less than thirty seconds’ time. When uncrated will be found to consist of five pieces (not including regulator arm, regulator disc and thermometer), as follows: Heater compartment, hover,. two sections of waste-heat pipe and T-fume vent and wind- break. FOR TWENTY YEARS manufacturers of incubators and brooders, not alone in the United States, but also in leading European countries, have been seeking to develop a practical type of self-regulating and self-ventilating brooders, Their wish has been to place these devices on a par with the best incubators in use. The Cyphers Company for years worked faithfully at this prob- lem, but did not meet with real success until it invented the Adaptable Hover. WE HAD LONG BELIEVED that brooders, to be entirely practical, should be automatic in regulation and _ self-ventilating, especially at night. As at present equipped with our Adaptable Hover, every lamp-heated brooder manufactured and sold by us is both self-regulating and self- ventilating. The same high-grade zinc and steel thermostat is used on self-regulating and self- ventilating. LAMP FLAME WILL NOT BLOW OUT AND DOES NOT SUCK OUT REMARKABLE AS IT MAY SEEM, this hover is so constructed that it could actually be used out of doors without the protection of a case or other enclosure and the lamp would not blow out. This favorable condition arises from the fact that there is no connection whatever in the form of an air passage between the lamp chamber and the space underneath the hover; therefore, fumes from the lamp cannot possibly reach the space where the chicks sleep, nor can the action of the air on the interior of a brooder case, colony coop, portable house or other enclosure affect the flame of the lamp in the slightest degree. It is on this account that the lamp chamber can be opened at any time, in any location, for filling the bowl, trimming the wick or adjusting the flame, and the blaze positively will not suck out, regardless of whether the doors, windows or chick exit to the brooder case, roosting, or poultry house are opened. PORTABLE HOVER Movable—can be changed to a new spot or location at any time by simply picking it up.

They are the servants of the Shepherd and the Farmer, par excellence, but if any one is in want of a faithful, intelligent, trustworthy servant and com- panion, let him get a Scotch Collie. There is hardly anything these dogs will not learn, and nothing they will not do. They are most loving and kind. CoLor—We prefer sable and white, as we think they make the handsomest dogs, but we often have them black and tan and black and white. BREEDING—Our stud dogs and breed- ing bitches are all pedigreed and registered in the American Kennel stud book, and in their veins runs the bluest of blue blood. Price of puppies largely depends upon breeding and individual specimens. We can mostly supply males at $10.00 to $15.00 each, and females at $8.00 to $10.00 each; $17.00 to $25.00 per pair. write for it.
