Representing varieties which are known to our customers and ourselves as being the best obtainable.
Artichoke
Jerusalem or Tuberous Rooted.
Grown exclusively for their large potato- like roots which are valuable for feeding hogs and for table use, often yielding over two tons per acre, Plant in March or April, two feet apart in 3 foot rows and cover 2 inches deep, 3 bushels per acre or 1 quart to 60 feet of row. They should not be dug in the fall but allowed to remain in the ground to be gathered as needed. An ex- cellent hog feed, preventing cholera, and exceedingly nutritious, When once planted they will continuously come up afterwards, hence for a field crop» it is best to select a piece of land which is to be devoted to Artichokes exclusively and an annual crop will be produced for years.

Palmetto Asparagus.
Offered at lowest possible prices con- sistent with the high quality of our tested and proven strains
Asparagus
1 ounce to 60 feet of drill; 1 lb. per acre; 3,000 plants per acre.
Asparagus grows easily in almost any good soil, but best results are obtained in well-enriched, deeply dug, sandy loam. A well cared for bed improves with age, and lasts for many years. It may be grown from seed, but much time is saved by planting roots.
The Asparagus plant is slow to die down in the fall, so that 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. For this reason, We advise only spring planting for any point north of Washington, D. C.
We strongly urge all those having enough available space to put in a bed for their own use, following carefully the cultural directions given below.
If you wish to grow plants from the secd yourself, pour warm water on the seed and allow it to stand until cool; pour it off and repeat two or three times with fresh warm water. Sow in spring in drills about eighteen inches apart and two inches deep in light, rich soil, planting fifteen to twenty seeds to each foot of row. When the plants are well up, thin to about one inch apart and give frequent and thor- ough cultivation during the summer. If this has been well done, the plants will be fit to set the next spring.
The permanent bed should be prepared by deep plowing or spading and thoroughly enriching the ground with stable manure or other fertilizer; a moist, sandy soil is best. If the sub-soil is not naturally loose and friable, it should be made so by thoroughly stirring with a sub-soil plow or spade. Set the plants about four inches deep and one to two feet apart in rows four to six feet apart. After the plants are well started, give frequent and thorough cultivation. Early the next spring spade in a heavy dressing of manure and about one quart of salt and double the quantity of fresh wood ashes to each square rod and cultivate well as long as the size of plants will permit, or until they begin to die down. The next season the bed may be cut over two or three times, but if this is done, all the shoots, no matter how small, should be cut. After the final cutting, give a good dressing of manure, ashes and salt. Cultivate frequently until the plants meet in the rows.
In autumn after the tops are fully ripe and yellow, they should be cut and burned. A bed fifteen by fifty feet, requiring about one hundred plants, if well cultivated and manured, should give the following sea- son an abundant supply for an ordinary family and continue productive for eight or ten years. 3
p s Famous French variety noted for its earliness and Giant Argenteuil size. It resists rust better than some domestic sorts and is also very prolific, producing an abundance of light green, tender shoots. Pkt., 5¢; 44 lb., 30c; Ib., $1.00.

Asparagus Roots
From one to two years may be saved by planting Asparagus roots instead of seed. We have found the demand for roots to be greater than the quantities obtainable, and therefore suggest that orders be paced early. Choice, 2-yr. old roots, all leading varieties, $2.00 per 100.

Pole Lima Beans
1 quart to 150 hills; 8 to 10 quarts per acre.
Pole beans do not bear as early as the bush varieties but they are Fordhook more productive, their bearing season is longer and they are more Ow 7 easily gathered. They succeed best in a warm sandy loam which Bush Lima. has been enriched with well rotted manure. If poles are used they should be set three to four feet apart each way. After the ground has become warm and dry, plant 4 to 6 beans to a pole and when well started thin out to 2 or 3 plants to a pole. By placing the seed eyes down they will germinate more quickly and for this reason are less liable to rot. Cultivate frequently but shallow.

Swiss Chard—Lucullus,
Borecole
Superior to the ordinary Kale in quality and extensively grown in this section for marketing during the winter months, when other vegetables are scarce. Borecole should be grown _ like cabbage, the seed being sown from early spring to the middle of August. It is customary to pull off the lower leaves and let the plant grow on to furnish a continuous supply.
b This variety is the most salable and profitable Hardy Winter sort for either the home or market gardener. The plant attains a height of 18 inches and .produces an abun- dance of beautiful light green leaves, which are densely curled and crimped. It is extremely hardy and has the ad- ditional advantage of putting forth a second crop of leaves after the first have been gathered or have fallen off. This new growth of sprouts is of the finest quality and is ready for market during the winter months and early spring, when it commands a fancy price in the markets. It is better not to cut or handle the plants while frozen but if this is un- avoidable, thaw them out in cold water. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c;
% Ib., 60c; lb., $2.00. ; M b h A half dwarf, white ribbed variety of very dis-
ossDac tinct appearance. Its gracefully curled light green
leaves are self-folding which causes the heart to blanch to a
beautiful yellow. It matures very early and is superior to all
other varieties in quality and flavor for fall use. It is not hardy however, and should be gathered before frost or pro- tected. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; % Ib., 60c; Ib., $2.00. This excellent sort is low spreading an
Dwarf Green Scotc eompact in its nature of growth, form- ing a mass of leaves which are beautifully curled and moss- like in appearance. The color is an attractive bright green and the quality is excellent. Being quite hardy, the plants will remain green throughout the entire winter where the temperature does not fall below zero. This strain is also called Norfolk Kale and is extensively grown in this section
and farther South for the Northern markets. Pkt., 10c; %4
Ib., 30e; Ib., $1.00.
Brussels Sprouts
1 oz. will sow 500 ft. of drill or 3,000 plants. :
Brussels Sprouts are grown for use during the fall and winter months. An abundance of sprouts, resembling miniature cab- bages are produced over the entire stem from tip to the ground. When the young sprouts are well formed the lower leaves should be stripped off to aid the formation of the heads. Sow the seed thinly in drills in April for early crop or in early June for a late fall crop. After the plants are 6 inches high transplant to rows which are 3 to 4 ft. apart and 18 to 24 inches apart in the rows. The plants are hardy and in this sec- tion will live out through the winter without protection, The sprouts are improved in quality and flavor by frost. D s * Found to be the best variety both in quality ans rize and productiveness. The sprouts develop very
evenly over the entire stem, the lower sprouts being as tightly | folded and as solid as those higher up. Consequently a |
large crop can be gathered. Unsurpassed in quality. Pkt., 10c; 0oz., 30c; %4 Ib., 90c.
Swiss Chard
or Spinach Beet
This excellent vegetable is grown for its large, broad leaves which make a delicious dish when prepared like spinach or asparagus. The increasing demand proves conclusively that this variety is finally receiving the attention its many valuable characteristics deserve. It produces all tops and no edible root, the leaves standing 2 to 2% ft. high, growing well even in hot weather when spinach fails altogether. It soon sprouts again after eutting and gives several crops each year.
Plant the seeds the same as ordinary beet seeds but thin out at first to 6 inches apart, later to 1 foot apart. Ready for use in about 60 days.

The soil for beets should be light, rich, fine and deeply cultivated. Smooth beets cannot be grown if fresh manure is used. If wanted very early, sow in hot beds and transplant, cutting off the outer leaves. For early outdoor crop plant the seeds about 1 inch apart and 1 inch deep in rows 1 to 2 feet apart, firming the soil about the seeds by walking on the row. This should be done as soon as the ground can be worked and for table use, plantings should be made every three weeks. Thin out the plants to 3 inches apart.

CULTURE: The best results are obtained from a well- drained, deep rich loam. The very early varieties should be sown about Sept. 15th and in 4 or 5 weeks transplanted to coldframes, from which they are transplanted to open ground from March 15 to April 15. If this is not done the seed should be sown in hotbeds in February; making plantings later of course according to variety and time crop is wanted. The earliest sorts should be set out in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches apart in the rows.
If it is not especially desired to have very early cab- bage the seed may be sown in open ground and trans- planted after 4 weeks. For second early crops sow in April and transplant in May; these will mature in July and August. The late varieties should be planted in May and transplanted in July to rows 3 ft. apart and 2 feet apart in the rows; these will mature from Septem- ber to November.
Cabbages should be hoed every week and the ground thoroughly stirred as they advance in growth, drawing a little earth to the plants each time until they begin to head, when they should be thoroughly cultivated and left to mature.

Chinese or Celery Cabbage belongs to the cabbage family but more closely resembles lettuce. It is a delicious vege- table served either as a salad like lettuce or a cold-slaw. When boiled it is even more palatable than cabbage and resembles Brussels Sprouts in flavor... All who like to try new things in the vegetable kingdom. will find Chinese Cabbage a real pleasure. For best results plant the seed late in July or very early in August as spring plantings in this section are liable to bolt to seed. Plant the seed in the perma- nent bed and thin out to stand 12 to 15 inches apart. Transplanting is not practical, cultivate same as cabbage. Thrives well in any good soil and matures full sized heads in 75 to 90 days.

Cauliflower
1 ounce to 2,000 plants.
This delicious and very profitable vegetable is not as extensively grown as it should be because many gar- deners have an erroneous opinion that cauliflower is difficult to grow. Anyone will be reasonabiy sure of success if the following suggestions are followed:
For an early crop sow the seed either indoors or in a hot-bed in January or February, transplanting them to 2 or 38 inches apart thus allowing the plants to put forth a vigorous growth before being set in the permanent rows.
As soon as danger of freezing is over, set the plants in the open ground in rows 2% to 3 feet apart and 18 inches apart in the row. The soil for Cauliflower should be like that for cabbage, but it is better if an additional quantity of manure is used so that the ground is very rich. Cultivate often and thoroughly. For fall crop sow the seeds during April or May. It is well to plan so that the early crop heads before very hot weather and the late crop matures after hot weather.
Plenty of moisture is needed at all stages of growth but is especially necessary when the plants are head- ing. At this time the leaves should be loosely tied over the heads as a protection from the sun. Cauli- flower is highly esteemed for its mild, delicate flavor and the extreme tenderness of the solid white heads and always commands a favorable price in the markets.
The best early variety in cultivation. Early Snowball If planted March ist, large heads will be produced early in June, and scarcely a single plant will fail to form a head.

CULTURE. The culture of carrots is of the simplest. Any good soil will grow this vegetable, but the most perfect roots however, are developed in rich, friable soil, preferably sandy loam. The flavor and tenderness of the table varieties is secured by having a quick growth, which usually means good growing weather and proper culti- vation. Sow as €arly as the ground can be worked or for late crop until the latter part of July, in drills 15 to 18 inches apart, finally thinning the plants to 3 to 4 inches in the drills. The seed is slow to germinate and if sown early or on moist soil, half an inch is deep enough. When sown during the hot summer months it is well to protect the seed bed with a thin layer of chips or straw as excessive heat will kill the vitality of the seeds before they germinate. After the seed has sprouted remove the covering, selecting the late afternoon for this work. Carrots are usually quite free from pests and diseases, The usual danger from ground worms and slugs is of course always prev- alent, but once up they are easier to grow than most vegetables. They are ready for table use in about two months,

Celery
1 ounce to 1,000 plants.
Celery seed is very slow to germinate and therefore should be started indoors in boxes from February to April or sown out of doors in a finely prepared seed hed during April. See that the seed is not covered too deep and that the bed is kept moist, almost wet until the seeds germinate. When the plants are about two inches high thin out and transplant to a distance of two or three inches apart each way, These must be kept entirely free from weeds and when they are four inches high the tops may be cut off so that the plants will grow more stocky. The plants are usually set out in the permanent bed when five inches high and it is usually best to do this during July or the first of August. In some sections best results are obtained by transplanting in June.
The permanent beds should be thoroughly prepared and well en- riched with rotted manure, which should be spaded in deeply, the rows being spaced 3 to 4 feet apart. Cut off some of the root and set the plants 8 to 12 inches apart in the rows, firming the soil tightly, and cultivate them frequently for a period of six weeks. Celery needs plenty of moisture.
When the plants are nearly full grown they should be blanched. This is done by drawing the soil closely about. the plants to about two-thirds of their height, being careful not to allow any of the earth to fall be- tween the leaves. Repeat this process every few days until only the tops of the leaves are visible. Do not disturb the plants while they are wet or the soil is damp as this is.liable to result in injury from rust.

Lettuce
1 ounce to 2,500 plants; 3 Ibs. per acre.
Lettuce to be at its best should be grown rapidly, hence the soil should be made as rich and friable as possible by liberal manuring and thorough preparation. For early crop sow in a seed-bed in September or Octo- ber and protect through the winter with cold frames, which should be removed as soon as danger of severe freezing is past. Lettuce in the open ground will stand some freezing but is killed by prolonged frost or fre- quent freezing and thawing. The seed may also be eown in hotbeds in March, and the plants, if well hard- ened by having been often exposed to the air, may usually be set in the open ground in April, maturing @ crop much earlier than complete open ground culti- vation would produce. If, however, it is not convenient to get the plants started either in the fall or early spring in hotbeds, the seed may be sown in open ground from the middle of April until July, selecting varieties suitable to the season.
The plants should be thinned or transplanted so as to stand:8 to 10 inches apart in the rows, and the rows should be about 18 inches apart. Good seed, rich soil, plenty of moisture and sunshine, and frequent cultiva- tion will result in a successful and very profitable crop.

We have been supplying this excellent var- Tuccorado iety to our customers for several years but as there has been only a limited quantity of seed available. we have not had the opportunity to offer this to our entire trade until this year. The large handsome heads are solid, crisp and of superb quality. Being of very vigorous and hardy nature, this variety is especially desirable for fall or early spring sowing. The strain is well established and we do not hesitate to strongly recommend this dependable sort to the most eritical market gardeners and private growers. Oz., 20c; %4 lb., 60c; Ib., $1.75.
U ¢ lled This lettuce might well be called an Im- nrivaile proved Big Boston. It is rapidly coming into favor with market gardeners in sections where the Big Boston does well. Its usefulness and value are identically the same as Big Boston, but it is preferred by market gardeners because of its being a solid greem color with no brownish tinge at the border of the leaves; its heads are larger and of better appearance than Big Boston.

To grow large bulbs 1 oz. to 100 ft. of drill 4-5 lbs. to the acre. To grow sets 10 oz. to
100 ft. of drill; 50 Ibs. to the

The Onion must have a clean and very rich soil. Use well- rotted manure freely, and get the seed in as early as possible in the spring, no matter if it is cold and unpleasant. If onions do not get a good growth before hot, dry weather, the crop is sure to be a failure. Keep the soil mellow and clear of weeds. Sow in shallow drills, not less than a foot apart nor more than half an inch deep. As onions grow on top of the ground, they may be aNowed to remain pretty thick, no matter if they crowd each other. In hoeing, destroy weeds and keep the ground mel- low; do not cover the young bulbs with earth. It is useless to try to grow onions on poor, unsuitable soil. Three days neg- lect when the weeds are grow- ing rapidly will sometimes ruin @ crop, and a week too eee sowing makes the difference be- tween a good and a bad harvest. With proper EN onions can be grown on the same land for a score 0 years, and it will become cleaner and better every. year-

Extra Early Alaska Peas.

SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS
PEAS
1 quart to 100 feet of drill; 14% bushels per acre.
Peas grow best on a light, rich, mellow soil under cool and moist weather cenditions. Fresh manure and very rich or wet mucky soil should be avoided.
The extra early varieties are very hardy and should be planted as soon as the ground can be made ready, while the larger wrinkled varieties, which are not as hardy but of superior quality, may be planted when the soil has become slightly warmed, as the seed will rot if planted too early.
For private use, sow the seed in double rows, 18 inches apart and 3 inches apart in the row; for market, in single rows 2 to 3 feet apart and 1 inch apart in the rows. The peas will give quicker returns if covered only one inch deep, and where earliness is most important they may be treated this way. Larger pods and greater quantity will be produced if the seed is planted in trenches three to six inches deep and covered with only one to two inches of soil. When the plants are five or six inches high, fill the trench level with the surface. This will result in deep rooting, prevent mildew and prolong the bearing season. If the peas are covered to the full depth at first, or if water is allowed to stand in the trenches the seed will not germinate or grow well. The crop should be gathered as fast as it becomes fit for use, as even a few ripe pods left on the vines tend to retard the development of the young pods and prevent the formation of new ones.

For a very early crop, run off furrows about
three feet apart and about four inches deep.
Drop the pieces about 15 inches apart in the
- fulrows and cover to a depth of about 1% inches,
gradually filling in the furrows to level as the
vines grow larger. For main crop it is just as
well to cover the eyes with four inches of soil at
once. If fertilizer is used, apply it either in the
row or broadeast before planting and be sure
that it is thoroughly mixed with the soil so that
the seed is not burned, Fresh stable manure will cause the potatoes to become scabby.
Just before the sprouts have appeared above the ground run a light harrow over them to kill the weeds and break up the crust. Continue weeding and harrowing until there is danger of breaking off too many sprouts, At this stage of growth, large growers, following the practice in Maine, often give a second dressing of fertilizer and hill up the vines, completely covering them. This results in the growth of another layer of tubers, starting just below the new vines. By this method a much larger but somewhat later crop is produced, and the field is once more free from weeds. Cultivate thoroughly and frequently, being careful not to cut any of the roots, con- tinuing until the vines have attained full growth and begin to spread.
Spraying for insects and blight is very necessary, Pyrox, Bug Death, ete., giving very satisfactory re- sults. Preparations containing ar- senic should be used lightly as this has a tendency to weaken the plants,
The size and quality of the crop and the ability to resist disease is directly dependent upon the sced planted and no amount of cultiva- tion or attention will offset the un- controllable results of poor seed. Be sure of your crop and plant only the best Maine grown seed potatoes.

Turnip
, 1 oz. to 150 ft, of drill; 1 lb. per acre.
Being primarily a cool weather vegetable, turnips thrive best when planted in early spring or in the fall. For spring crop sow the seed early in April, while for fall and winter use, plantings should be made from July to August. Sow in rows not less than 18 inches apart and one-half to three-quarters of an inch deep. A very POp- ular method, however, is to broadcast the seed between rows of corn or in the cultivated orchard. Proper con- trol of root maggots is effected by rotation of crops, the use of commercial fertilizers instead of manure and the application of Mag-o-tite or other carbolic acid emulsion.

MANNS’ SUPERIOR FLOWER SEEDS
“Flowers blossom and fade rapidly; but the good they do during their short life’s span cannot,be measured by
words.”’ Benj. Franklin.
Our constant aim is to supply our customers with the very best domestic and imported strains: ob- tainable. We spare no expense in our efforts to maintain the highest standard of quality. Our list contains those varieties which are most popular because of their beauty, usefulness, and ease of cultivation.
Annuals are those which attain full growth, bloom and die the same year, and are raised from seed exclusively. Biennials attain full growth, bloom and die the second year from
the planting of seed.
Perennials produce plants the first year, which with a few excep- tions do not flower until the second year from planting of seed, after which they bloom every year and last several years.
The class to which each variety belongs is indicated as follows: (A) for Annuals; (B) for Biennials; (P) for Perennials.
AGERATUM (A)
Splendid for bedding or pot culture, covered from June until frost with a mass of very attractive flowers of a tufted appearance. Very effective when contrasted with geraniums. Large- flowered White, larey flowered Blue or Mixed., pkt., 10c; %4 oz., 25c.
ALYSSUM (A)
Sweet Alyssum. Little Gem. Very popular border flower, coming into bloom six weeks after planting seed and requiring the least attention of all flowers. Very erect and dwarf, its white flowers greatly enhancing the beauty of any bed or border. Height 4 inches. Pkt., 10c; %4 oz., 15c; oz., 50c.
AMARANTHUS (A)
Very useful in borders of tall plants, among shrubs, or in centers of large beds. One type has large feathery plumes or sprays of rich crimson col- oring while the other is grown exclu- sively for the brilliant-colored leaves. CAUDATUS. (Love Lies Bleeding.)

SPLENDENS. (Rainbow Plant. Beautiful variegated foliage wi large crimson flower heads. Pkt., 10c; %4 oz., 25c.
TRICOLOR. (Joseph’s Coat.) Similar to Splendens, having a single erect stalk of brilliantly-colored foliage. Pkt., 5c; %4 oz., 15c.
ANTIRRHINUM or Snapdragon (P)
This border and bedding plant of long blooming season is now one of the best perennials suitable for flowering as an annual. The long showy spikes of cur- iously-shaped tubular flowers with spreading lobes and finely marked throats are fragrant as well as brilliant- ly-colored. They are very desirable for cutting as the blooms are borne well above the dark glossy leaves and keep fresh for a long time.
For flowers the first season outdoors, sow seed very early under glass and transplant to open border as soon as the ground is warm and dry, in rich loamy soil in a sunny situation, setting one foot apart each way and giving them plenty of water: or sow the seed in August or September and cover the plants with a mulch on approach of cold weather. These fall-sown plants may be transplanted into pots and flowered, and in this case give them the same temperature and treatment as geraniums and _ carnations. Tender perennial, often treated as an annual or biennial, attains a growth of one and one-half to two feet high. Special mixtures of the very best delicate col- ors.

Dahlias — Ee
The following list includes the most popular named varieties of each type, in a wide range of colors. Every effort is made to supply our friends with those varieties which have proven to be of most value as garden and cut flower sorts. :
Prices quoted are for large field grown dormant roots; or strong pot grown plants, which many ex- perienced growers prefer. We can usually fill the earliest orders with either roots or plants as preferred but it often happens that all of our roots of certain varieties must be started early to take care of our plant trade. This leaves us with a shortage of roots while plants are still available.
Unless instructed to the contrary, we shall take the liberty to substitute plants instead of roots if neces- sary. Place your order for Dahlias early and avoid disappointment when the time for planting arrives.

Sudan Grass
Sudan, the greatest forage crop, should be grown on every farm, where either hay or pasture is desired. It is highly resistant to drought and stands very heavy grazing. Yields from 2 to 10 tons per acre, is superior to either Millet or Sorghum in feeding quality, and may be fed in unlimited quantities.
Sow 10 to 20 Ibs. per acre, 1 to 1% inches deep, the highest quality hay resulting from heavy seeding. Should be harvested just before the heads appear, in the same manner as other grasses. Cures quickly and matures as early as Millet, the first cutting being ready in about 6 to 8 weeks.
Successive cuttings may be made every 30 to 45 days until frost. Highly recommended by the Government as being very nutritious and easily digestible. Being an annual, this must be seeded every year and therefore never becomes a pest. $16.00 per 100 lbs. Subject to change.
Kaffir Corn
The heads are greedily eaten by horses and cattle and make splendid food for poultry, fed either in the grain or! ground and cooked. Excellent forage. Cultivate same as common corn, requiring four or five pounds per acre. 100 Ibs., $3.50.
Dwarf Essex Rape
This plant is extensively grown for forage, especially for sheep, and for green manure, Prepare the ground as for turnips and sow in June or July in rows two and a half feet apart at the rate of two and a half pounds of seed per acre. Lb., 10c; 100 Ibs., $9.50.
Sorghum or Cane

Cow Peas
There is no surer or cheaper means of improving and in- creasing the productiveness of our soils than by sowing the Cow’ Pea.’ It has the power to extract costly nitrogen from the atmosphere and to store the same in the vines and roots, so that the land is enriched and its condition improved. From. five to nine tons of green fodder per acre have been produced. For ensilage they are unsurpassed. When it is desired to turn the whole crop under, as a soil improver, it is better to do so after the vines are partly dead. Cow Peas can be sown in May or June, at the rate of one and a half bushels per acre.

It also makes a good green manuring crop to turn under, but not equal to Cow Peas. A light seeding of oats, rye or barley will increase the yield and help to support the vines when the crop comes to maturity. Ready for cutting in May and June, cures easily and makes splendid hay. Write for: price.
Soy or Soja Beans
A Great Drought-Resisting Forage Crop, Producing Immense Quantities of Nutritious Food, Beside Being an Excellent Soil Improver.
The Soy Bean is coming right to the front as a great soi) enricher, as a food for hogs or cattle, both in the green and dry state. To plow under in the green state it is certainly one of the very best plants, next to Cow Peas. Subject to market fluctuations.

Our “Evergreen” Lawn Grass is a correctly proportioned mixture of the very best varieties of grasses blended ac- cording to a formula which has resulted from many years of study and experience.
Every variety included has its special duty to perform in the qui¢ék production and steady maintenance or a beautiful and permanent lawn. Soil and climatic condi- tions are provided for by including each of the grasses which fiourish during the various seasons. There are those which develop to perfection very early in the spring, some especially suited for resisting the heat of the sum- mer while others grow best during the fall and early winter. We have also included those types which pro- duce strong, fibrous root systems holding the turf in place, preventing the soil from washing and holding the moisture, greatly assisting the other varieties. Others because of their creeping nature quickly fill up the bare spots which may be caused by the taller sorts dying down; some particularly useful for their beautiful, velvety appearance, some for drought resisting qualities and ethers for ability to withstand very wet seasons.
Both imported and domestic grasses are procured from growers best equipped to produce the respective sorts in their highest quality most economically. We do not

EMERSON-BRANTINGHAM DISK HARROWS. For Horse and Tractor Power.
If you are farming to make money, you cannot ignore the advantages and the economy of labor-saving machin- ery, and the farmer who labors along without the good implements that modern conditions demand, pays a higher price in the end.
The E-B Tandem Disk Harrow enables you to do more work in shorter time and with less man labor. With one of these double action machines one man can do the work of two men with single disks in the same length of time and the work will be done better. Besides it may be equipped with either a horse or tractor hitch, which is an advantage when both kinds of power are available. Tf desired, the rear section may be detached and the front section used alone as a horse or tractor-drawn single disk harrow. Many of our customers operating Fordson Tractors now have these harrows in use and are highly pleased with them. Quality and usefulness are built in. Let us send. you illustrated literature and prices.

HAYING TOOLS AND IMPLEMENTS.
EMERSON ROCKFORD, ILL.
EMERSON-BRANTINGHAM STANDARD MOWER.
E-B Standard Mowers are more easily handled, run lighter and are more durable than any other mowing machine. The manner in which the cutter bar is carried on the wheels, together with a proper distribution of the weight, greatly increases the traction power of the machine, overcomes side draft and weight on the horses’ necks, giving it a powerful cutting capacity which enables it to cut through the heaviest grass without materially increasing the draft. he gear and driving mechanism is the three motion gear and is especially valuabie in obtaining the high speed required without undue strain on any portion of the machine. This mower has many other points of superiority and we would be pleased to give you full information. Price, 5-foot, $75.00. Prices of other sizes on request.

Poultry Fence j the line wires Lahaye permit of be- ig ing stretched a), to a high ten- sion, which compels the fence to remain rigid and upright without anchoring it to a baseboard or top rail. These features place it a long stride beyond the Hex mesh netting, which never fails to narrow and lengthen if you attempt to stretch it to a tension required to prevent sagging.
There is no netting on the market that compares with U. S. Poultry Fence for strength, beauty and durability, and we invite comparison with other makes, feeling confident that all our claims of superiority will be substantiated.

CONKEY’S BUTTERMILK STARTING. FEED.
A Ready Prepared Mash for baby chicks and all self- feeding young fowls. This remarkable feed—originated by Conkey and prepared through processes controlled and used exclusively by Conkey is a complete ration—con- taining all the elements needed for safely starting baby chicks, ducklings, goslings, poults, guineas, pheasants, etc.
This superior chick mash was the first commercial poultry feed containing buttermilk—that is why we eca-l it the only original buttermilk starting feed.
Conkey’s did not ‘just happen’’—it is a scientifically- balanced feed as clean and wholesome and as conscien- tiously prepared as “infant food.’’ Selected, plump grains ground to proper fineness, are combined with other ingre- dients so as to make the feed readily digestible, palatable and nutritious. Taste it, sell it, that’s the way to judge a chick feed.
Conkey’s carries buttermilk tion as an aid in prevention of bowel troubles, White Diarrhcea, ‘“‘leg weakness,’ ete. The buttermilk is Semi- Solid buttermiik, blended with other ingredients by the original process in such a way as to preserve the appe- tizing, tonic, and other properties of the newly-churned product.
The moisture in the buttermilk is drawn off by the ex- tlusive Conkey process in such a way as not to subject it to the terrific heat usually required in ‘‘drying’’ butter- milk,
Lactic acid in buttermilk is described as an ‘Intestinal broom” which sweeps away unfriendly bacteria and disease germs in the delicate digestive tract. Buttermilk is also rich in one of the vitamines necessary to growing birds. It is a wonderful appetizer, aid to digestion and flesh builder.
However, it is not the buttermilk nor the other ingre- dients alone that causes people to declare that their chicks grow twice as fast on Conkey’s. It is not the buttermilk alone that proteets the chicks from disease during the first critical eight weeks. The secret is in the combination of these materials by the Conkey method— the balancing of the ration, as Conkey alone knows how.
Don’t be influenced by ‘cheaper’? imitations labeled “pbuttermilk’’—that word may be used to deceive unwary buyers—to cover up a multitude of “‘sinful’’ grains, mill sweepings, poisonous weed seeds, musty screenings, worth- less by-products, or other poor materjal having little or no nutritive value.
Conkey’s is so palatable that one poultryman said ought io be used for “breakfast food.’’. wrote: “My chicks just love Conkey’s. It is so tasty, and my, how they do grow! Better still, we didn’t have a single loss in the present hatch, no White Diarrhoea or other bowl troubles like before we began using Conkey’s.”’
Conkey’s is all the chicks need the first eight weeks except greens, charcoal, grit, clean water and some fine seratch grains in the litter for exercise. Give grit and water from the start. During the second week add green stuff and in the fourth week finely cracked grains

OIL HEATERS.
Small oil heaters and stoves are rapidly coming into general use for a variety of purposes, and are essential to the sueceessful operation of any poultry yard, large or smal!. Chiekens will not drink very much ice-cold water, but as eggs are more than 80 per cent water it is neces- sary that plenty of cool water is available regardless of the season of the year. These oil stoves are being used to keep the water at a palatable temperature and very soon pay for themselves in the increased production of eggs. These heaters are also used for heating home- made oat sprouters and small brooders.
MOER’S FOUNTAIN HEATER. Can be used with all ktyles of fountains and solves the problem of uniform supply of fresh, clear water at all times, no matter how cold the weather. The lamp bowl holds sufficient kero- sene to burn continuously for seven days. - Simple and

The combustion is com- plete and perfect, doubling the heat value of the oil. The oil tank holds three pints of oil and burns three to four weeks without refilling or other attention. This stove is absolutely fire-safe and non-explosive. If it is tipped over it will go out. Size, 4 inches high and 9 inches in diameter. Price $2.00 each, postpaid.
“STANDARD” INCUBATOR OIL.
“Standard” Incubator Oil is a superfined kerosene, It is the result of research and exhaustive tests covering many years in an effort to produce an oil which will not smoke or char wicks.
“Standard” Incubator Oil has been burned for four weeks continuously without any attention other than re- plenishing the supply in the reservior, with no percept- able char on the wick nor change in the flame at the end of that period. It is far superior to the best grades of water-white kerosene hitherto obtainable, both in point of heat and light resulting from its use, It will give much better service than ordinary kerosene, go that its higher initial cost is not a serious factor in the way of its free use. i
“Standard” Incubator Oi] is in every respect better than any kerosene or substitute for it hitherto placed upon the market, It will be found especially valuable for general household use, particularly where kerosene lamps are depended upon for illumination. It can be udvantage- ously used in place of ordinary white kerosene for lanterns, oil lamps on automobiles or carriages, and in fact wher- ever freedom from smoke, odor and charred wicks jis particularly desirable.

“STANDARD” DUST BATH. Why not let chickens cleanse themselves, whenever: they feel like it, in a natural way? Instinetively, they take the only kind of a bath they know of, in the dust, to rid themselves of vermin and insects. But ordinary dust is not effective. Standard Dust Bath is something that practical poultry - raisers have long been looking for. Placed in a box about two feet by three feet by one foot deep, standing six inches or more off the floor, Standard Dust Bath will work a marked improvement in the condition of the poultry within a very few days. It completely eradicates iice, cleans the feathers and imparts a gloss to them. It is guaranteed not to injure or discolor the legs or bodies of the birds; it cannot get muddy or dusty and is an ex- cellent moisture absorber. It is cheap not only in the first cost, but because it will last for a long time without replenishing. It positively destroys germs and lice in a natural, effective manner at a very low cost, and gives the fowls the benefit of nourishment otherwise consumed by parasites. Price, 5-lb. sample, 25c; 50-lb. bag, $2.00; 100-Ib. bag, $3.00, f. 0. b. Baltimore.

Enterprise Sausage Stuffer, Fruit and Lard Presses
These machines are strongly built in every respect, ‘and give years of service. Repair parts are always obtainable promptly, but rarely needed if machines are operated care- fully.
“The frame and cylinder are Japanned, while the lard cyl- inder is heavily tinned. The iron cylinder is bored true, making the machine more perfect. The tin cylinder has lips, to enable the operator to remove the hot cracklings with little or no inconvenience. No hot iron cylinder to handle when pressing lard. The patent latch prevents breakage of plates. The new patented corrugated spout prevents air from entering the casing, thus assuring the preservation of the sausage. The Enterprise represents a greater value for the money than any other like machine on the market.

Simplicity Gasoline Engines The Simplicity -is strictly a Standard Machine both principle and detail, being designed and built according to
in
the very best standard gas engine practice. In the design and development of these engines only the simplest and most direct principles are used; all complicated or delicate parts being avoided, because they invariably lead to trouble and expense. Practically all the working parts are in plain sight and easy to get at for adjustment.
These engines have given entire satisfaction for 21 years and we have thoroughly convinced ourselves of their merits before offering them to our trade.
Made in all sizes from 1% h. p. to 16 h. p. and every one equipped with magneto. Let us send an illustrated folder describing the Simplicity and giving the latest prices.

Asbestos Liquid Roofing
Guaranteed for 10 years. This roofing is a heavy liquid which thoroughly seals every hole and makes a leak impos- sible for at least ten years. It is made of asbestos fibre and eontains no coal tar products and therefore is not injurious to metal. Not affected by summer heat, is absolutely fire proof and may be used on any roof.

Enterprise Meat and Food Choppers
The Enterprise Chopper is the only machine on the market which is built on a perfectly correct principle of cutting. The meat is fed into the hopper and by the feed screw is carried forward and forced into the small holes of the plate, where it is cut off by the revolving knife, which makes four cuts for each hole, with every revolution of the crank. The pieces thus cut are ejected by the meat following. Enterprise Choppers cut the meat as with a pair of scissors, and do not grind or tear it. It is impossible for any strings, sinews or gristle to pass through without being chopped. All parts are interchangeable, and can be replaced at small cost. The knives and plates being steel, they are vastly superior to the cast-iron cutting parts of other choppers. These choppers. are made in a great number of convenient sizes to meet all requirements, hand and power.
To suit the different uses to which Enterprise Choppers may be put, plates are made with holes of various sizes, the plate having 3/16 inch holes being standard, and accom- panies each machine.

PUT ELECTRICITY TO WORK
Wake Your Flome Modern and Gfhictent
eee CCX Western Elecfric ar Power & Light
You and your family deserve all the modern comforts and conveniences that make a brighter, happier, better home. Under the cheery glow of clean, safe, convenient electric light, the whole household takes on a new aspect of con- tentment. ‘
Western Electric Power and Light brightens the house and lightens the housework. It supplies current for washing, ironing, sewing or cleaning. It lights the barn and does barn work—milking, separating, churning, grinding, cutting, pumping, ete. With it you can operate an electric automatic water system.
The Western Electric Outfit illustrated has a three horse- power air cooled gasoline or kerosene engine, which can be used independently of the generator. To start, merely turn the switch; it stops itself when the battery is charged unless you want it to run longer for some other purpose. The auto- matie regulation controlling the charging process is an exclusive Western Electric feature and it makes the battery last longer. This particular outfit, the most practical for the average farm, is only one of many sizes, made by the Western Electric Company. There are sizes for every need, from small bungalows to large hotels, and enough of them in use to prove their worth.
We strongly recommend Western Electric Light and Power Plants because:
1st. Upon comparison, we have found them the most durable and dependable.
2nd. The Western Electric Company is an old reliable firm, in business to stay and un- equalled in giying service.
3rd. Western Electric prices are lowest, quality considered.
4th. We want to sell you an outfit which will give such satisfaction pa we will retain your friendship and strengthen the confidence you have in us.
LET US SEND LITERATURE AND PRICES.
MYERS ELECTRIC
Fresh Water System
DIRECT FROM THE WELL No Storage Tank—Capacity 380 Gallons Hour
Just think of it; fresh water direct from = = an the well, day or night, summer or winter, any- =z SpE MYERS & SRO Tz where in the house or outbuildings, supplied automatically by merely turning the faucet.
The No. 622 A. M. system illustrated is used for shallow wells or cisterns up to 22 ft. in depth, while outfit No. 655 A. M., somewhat similar is used for deep wells. Both Systems are equipped with one-half horsepower motors, either 32 or 110 volts, and the pumps are the self-oiling or splash system type.
The Myers Direct Water System is of sufficient capacity to pump directly against the faucets supplying an ordinary residence. The opening of any faucet starts the pump by releasing the air pressure against the electric switch. The expense of the current in operat- ing an outfit of this class is no greater thanis required for operating a pump of one-half the capacity when connected with a large storage tank as they are obliged to work under a pressure.of from 40 to 50 pounds, whereas the Myers Direct Water System works under a pressure of 10 to 30 pounds only.
Several of our customers already have these outfits and are highly pleased with both price and performance. Let us show you the economy of this system applied to your
needs. GET OUR PRICES ON PIPE AND GENERAL PLUMBING SUPPLIIES.
