FOR MARKET GARDENERS and other judicious and careful growers who sow the best. ASPARAGUS 1 aunce to 60 feet of drill; 1 Ib. 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. 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. 5 If you wish to grow plants from the seed yourself, sow in spring in drills about eighteen inches apart and two inches deep in light, rich soil, plant- ing 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 thorough 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 fer- tilizer; a moist, sandy soil is best. 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 season an abundant supply for an ordinary family and continue productive for eight or ten years.

Dwarf Horticultural or Dwarf Cherry 90ers Sorts for green BUSH BEANS 1 pint to 100 feet of drill; 1 to 1 144 bushels per acre. Beans are tender and should not be planted until the soil is well warmed. Sow- ing too early will often result in a poor stand and uneven ripening. Sow the seed 1 % to 2 inches deep in rows not less than 18 inches apart and firm the soil to assist germination. Allow the plants to stand 4 to 10 inches apart in the row according to variety. Shallow cultivating and hoeing should be done frequently until the vines are in blossom. To prevent blight do not cultivate deeply and avoid working them while the vines are wet. Beans grow best in a warm, well-drained, sandy loam. For succession plant every two weeks until about August 15th.

Pole beans do not bear as early as the bush varieties but they are more productive, their bear- ing season is longer and they are more easily gathered. ‘They succeed best in a warm sandy loam which 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 4to6 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. Culti- vate frequently but shallow. This variety was introduced in 1922 and has rapidly gained favor be- Sunnybrook cause of its extreme earliness and abundance of medium sized, well filled pods of deep green color, having four and often five large thick, meaty, light green beans of the finest quality.

This variety is Hardy Winter the most salable and profitable sort for either the home or market gardener. The plant attains a height of 18 inches and produces an abund- ance of beautiful light green leaves, which are densely curled and crimped. It is extremely hardy and has the additional 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.

An abundance of sprouts, resembling minaiture 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 feet apart and 18 to 24 inches apart in the rows.

CULTURE:—The best results are obtained from a well-drained, deep rich loam. The very early varieties should be sown about September 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 cabbage the seed may be sown in open ground and transplanted after 4 weeks. For second early crops sow in April and transplant in May; these will mature in July and August. The later 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 September 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.

This delicious and very profitable vegetable is not as exten- sively grown as it should be because many gardeners have an erroneous opinion that cauliflower is dificult to grow. Anyone will be reasonably 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 3 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 cab- bage, 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 heading. At this time the leaves should be loosely tied over the heads as a protection from the sun. Cauliflower is highly esteemed for its mild, delicate flavor and always commands a favorable price in the markets. The best early variety in cultivation.

Our stock is grown from choice selected and trans- planted roots only, and are of the truest type and richest color money can procure. CULTURE:—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 cultivation. Sow as early 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.

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 bed 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 enriched 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 between the leaves. Repeat this process every few days until only the top 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. Golden Plume This new strain of Golden Self-Blanch- ing has been pronounced by authorities to be the best of all the early varieties.

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 al- lowed to remain pretty thick, no matter if they crowd each other. In hoeing,-destroy weeds and keep the ground mellow; do not cover the young bulbs with earth. It is useless to try to grow onions on poor, unsuitable soil. Three days neglect when the weeds are growing rapidly will some- times ruin a crop, and a week too late in sowing makes the difference between a good and a bad harvest.

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 1f 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 greate. quantity will be produced it 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.

Peppers should be sown either indoors or in hotbeds early in April and transplanted to the permanent beds when about 3 inches high in two foot drills and two feet apart in the drills. The seed can also be sown in open ground when danger from frost is past but the crop will naturally be much later. A top dressing of fertilizer or poultry manure well mixed with-the soil when the plants are about 6 inches high will materially aid in the production of a big crop. Royal King This remarkable new variety represents the result of 18 years of continuous se- lection and reselection on the part of the largest and most re- liable growers of pepper seed in this country. The type is firmly established, producing fruit which is exceptionally uniform in ‘size, shape, color and quality. The plants grow about 244 feet high, and are vigorous; compact in their nature of growth, and very productive, commencing to bear very early and continuing until killed by frost. The fruit is very large, bright and glossy and the extremely thick flesh is sweet and mild. They will stand distant shipping and hold up well for market as they do not wilt nor become ripe near so quickly as Ruby King and other large varieties. This strain is extensively grown in the South by large shippers and under very favorable conditions a record of 800 bu. per acre has been established.

This is a decidedly valuable acquisi--- ' Puritan If the ground you intend to use has produced a scabby crop previously or the seed shows any trace of disease, the pieces should be soaked in a for- maldehyde solution as a preventa tive. 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 turrows and cover to a depth of about 14% 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 fer- tilizer is used, apply it either in the row or broadcast before planting and be sure that it is thoroughly mixed with the soil so that the seed is not burned. Fresh stable ma- nure will cause the potatoes to become scabby. Just before the sprouts have ap- eared above the ground run a Tene 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. Cultivate thoroughly and frequently, being careful not to cut any of the roots, continuing until the vines have at- tained full growth and begin to spread. Spraying for insects and blight is very necessary, Pyrox, Bug Death, etc., giving very satistactory results, The size and quality of the crop and the ability to resist disease is directly dependent upon the seed planted and no amount of cultiva- tion or attention will offest the uncontrollable results of poor seed.

Later sowing may be made until the last of April. apart in another hotbed or cold frame, or removed into small pots allowing a single plant to the pot. Water freely at time of transplanting, and shelter from the sun a few days until the plants are established. Cultivate sible to harden. When the plants are 3 or 4 inches high they should be set out 4 or 5 inches Expose to the air as much as pos- thoroughly as long as the vines will permit, but the last two or three workings should be very shallow or the crop may be badly injured, especially if the cultivator is run too near the plants.

THE SPENCERS are of exceptionally large size, the petals waved and frilled and the general effect remarkably graceful and effective. The plants are of vigorous growth and remain in bloom for a longer time than the Grandiflora sorts. CULTURE.—Early in the spring make a trench three to four inches deep in rich, mellow soil, so arranged that no water can stand in it and plant the seed in the bottom, covering at first only one inch deep. When the plants are two inches high, cultivate; and as they grow, gradually fill in the trench. When the plants are about five inches high they should be supported by poultry netting, strings or brush. Water should be applied thoroughly once or twice a week early in the morning or in the evening. The blooms should be picked before they form pods or the plants will soon stop flowering. The follow- ing have been selected from hundreds of varieties, as being those of the highest quality in their respective classes; GRANDIFLORA VARIETIES AMERICA. Bright red and white striped.

We offer a wide range of colors and shades in each of the important types and can confidently recommend them for the ornamental garden and for cut flowers. The tubers are taken from healthy, vig- orous, field grown clumps; are in first class condition and with proper attention are sure to bloom and give entire satisfaction. Dahlias do well in almost any kind of soil, but thrive best in a medium loam. The tubers should be planted in a horizon- tal position, with the sprout up and about four inches below, the surface; they should be set three or four feet apart each way in deeply spaded soil. A good plant food applied just as the buds start to form will increase the size and improve the color of the blooms. If large exhibition blossoms are desired, it is absolutely necessary to disbud. After the frost has killed the flowers, the roots should be removed from the ground, allowed to dry for two or three days, and then stored: away in a cool, dry, dark place where frost will not reach them. “HYBRID CACTUS DAHLIAS This splendid type is considered by many to be the most beautiful of all.

Red Clover CLOVERS MEDIUM or COMMON RED. (Trifolium pratense). The Clover Seed of Commerce, and the most important and valuable of the Clover family for agricultural purposes. Sow 15 lbs. per acre. (Bushel 60 lbs.) ALSIKE or HYBRID. (Swedish). (Trifolium hybridum). Hardiest of all Clovers; perennial. On rich, moist soils it yields large quantities of hay or pasturage, as it forms a thick bottom; has fibrous roots like White Clover. Esteemed highly by bee keepers. MAMMOTH CLOVER. (Trifolium pratense perenne). Valu- able with other grasses for mixed hay; ripens about with Timothy. Being a rank grower, it is largely used for plowing under as a fertilizer. WHITE DUTCH. (Trifolium repens). Grows naturally in pastures in a great variety of soils and situations; indispensable in parks and lawns. CRIMSON CLOVER. (Trifolium incarnatum). Being an an- nual, it must be sown in July, August, and September of each year, and, the spring following, can be cut for soiling by April 20th; for ensilage, May Ist to 15th; fer seed, about first week of June. Can be grown in corn, or any cultivated crop. Ten to fifteen pounds necessary to seed an acre. Cover with a light harrow. (Bushel 60 lbs.) ALFALFA or LUCERNE. (Medicago sativa). This Clover claims to bear the palm as a forage plant, coming earliest in spring and remaining latest in fall. It delights in plenty of sun, being a veritable child of the sun; must be sown at the rate of from 10 to 25 pounds of seed per acre on well drained, well pulverized deep soil after danger of freezing is over, and prefers sand or gravel sub- soil. Wet sub-soil is fatal to the plant. Roots 3 to 4 feet deep, and when well established lasts for years 2 to 5 crops a year can, be cut. Not recommended for pasture. (Bushel 60 lbs.) BOAKHARA or WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER. (Meli- lotus alba). This slightly resembles Alfalfa in growth, but is much taller, with leafier and stiffer stems. It frequently grows 5 to 6 feet in height and branches freely, with slender spikes of small, fragrant, white flowers, which affcrd an excellent food for bees. (Bushel 60 lbs.) JAPAN CLOVER. This makes most nutritious ana desirable summer pasture. Grows well and spreads rapidly on poor lands, hillside and under the shade of trees. (Bushel 25 lbs.) DROUGHT RESISTING GRASSES PERENNIAL RYE GRASS. (Lolium perenne)... Very nutri- tious; valuable for meadows or permanent pastures; rapid grower; most prominent grass in England.

(About 12 lbs.) HARD FESCUE. (Festuca duriuscula). Not very productive. but it is of a very fine quality, and thrives well in dry situations where many other grasses would fail, thus making a desirable pasture variety. j MILLET GERMAN or GOLDEN MILLET. True Southern grown Ger- man Millet Seed is far superior to Western grown seed. HUNGARIAN GRASS. A very valuable forage plant of the Millet family, but not so coarse. Two ot three weeks earlier than German Millet. GRASS SEEDS KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. June Grass. (Poa pratensis). Universally known; desirable for pastures and lawns. Sow in fall or spring at rate of 2 or 3 bushels per acre. Fancy clean seed. RED TOP GRASS. (Agrestis vulgaris). Thrives well in any soil, but best on low land; produces a firm sod.

MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. 45 SUDAN GRASS 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 irom 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 lbs. per acre, 1 to 14% 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 Mullet, 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. $12.00 per 100 Ibs. 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 corm, re- quiring four or five pounds per acre. 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. SORGHUM or CANE EARL Y AMBER SORGHUM. Furnishes a large yield of most nutritious forage, which can be fed either green or cured, and will yield two or three cuttings a year, stooling out thicker each time it is cut. It grows ten or twelve feet high. Sow at the rate of one peck per acre in drills three and a half to four feet apart. EARLY ORANGE SORGHUM. This variety is similar in growth to Early Amber, but under fair conditions produces a heavier crop. It is better for stock feeding than the Amber. BUCKWHEAT JAPANESE. This variety yields very largely. The kernels are larger than other sorts, but owing to its branching qualities it need not be sown so thickly. Peck, 60c. SILVER HULL. A superior variety in every way to the ordinary Buckwheat which it has almost entirely superseded. OATS WHITE SPRING OATS. Our best recleaned stock of these are Choice Northern grown, all heavy oats, which have been re- cleaned by us. RUST-PROOF OATS. A favorite spring variety in the South, particularly where the land is rich; produces enormous yield, and excellent for cutting for hay. CANADA FIELD PEAS Sown in open weather during December, January, February and March, making large yields ot most nutritious food, which can be used either green or cured for hay. 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 ay. COW PEAS There is no surer or cheaper means of improving and increasing 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 ensliage 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. BLACK. Quick to mature, adapted for late planting in Northern sections; vigorous grower and great yielder.

MISCELLANEOUS FIELD SEEDS MANNS’ SUPERIOR LAWN GRASS Sow 1 pound to 200 square feet, 40 to 60 pounds per acre. Our Superior Lawn Grass is a correctly proportioned mixture of the very best varieties of grasses blended according to a formu- la which has resulted from many years of study and experience. Every variety included has its special duty to perform in the quick production and steady maintenance of a beautiful and per- menent lawn. Soil and climatic conditions are provided for by including each of the grasses which flourish during the various sea ons. There are those which develop to perfection very early in the spring, some especially suited for resisting the heat of the summer while others grow best during the fall and early winter. We have also included tho e types which produce strong, fibrous root systems holding the turt in place, preventing the soil trom washing and holding the moisture, greatly assisting the other varietie. 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 appear- ance, some for drought resisting qualities and others for abil ty 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 purchase an ounce of ready mixed lawn seed and therefore we positively know our customers FIELD The stock we offer has been especially grown and selected for seed purposes. 9 This new introduction Clark’s Early Smoky Dent 4..3),ccr developed by one of the largest and most reliable growers of corn in this country.

MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. 57 Wire Fencing UNITED STATES POULTRY NETTING. U. S. Poultry Fence is strictly a “NO SAG” fence, as the combination of line and mesh wires, closely woven, prevents any lengthening or narrowing between posts. In erecting U. S. Poultry Fence the line wires permit of being stretched to a high tension, which compels i ‘ 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. - Made of No. 19 hard steel wire, double twisted and galvanized after weaving. 2-inch Mesh Put up in Rolls of 150 feet. acaserecera, isvacavatavaN PR TEN UATE, IP Wee cootocuncodnoooconeDNooDUooODeDOOOMAGOO $1.50 Herne PB Moko 5odgaannedouseboucoUbUnoedbAUGOOOOODOO 2.75 SCs SLA Witho pao ocoonMoMOon OU oMoUAa dob onoeOob.o 3.75 CWO COMB Cumcoocepeodsdbaoc ova auosobbacinnioclnto 5.00 GOFirGis, BYB Ws od oocbocbbebucobddoseusondccusccnoao 6.15 (Patni CYA lao sastovddodepmnccs abdocoodnp sos one 7.50 In less than Roll lots, 1}4¢ a square foot.

Conkey’s is all the chicks need the first eight weeks, except greens, charcoal, grit, clean water and some fine scratch grains in the litter for exercise. Give grit and water from the start.
