MANNS’ SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS Selected from improved strains having true commercial merit, offered at lowest possible prices FOR MARKET GARDENERS and other 1932 judicious and careful growers who sow the best. Varieties of Special Merit UR general stocks are unexcelled in quality O and better seeds cannot be purchased at any price. The following recently im- proved strains, however, are worthy of special consideration and should be grown by every progressive market gardener. BEANS ASGROW VALENTINE—This new Black Valentine without strings was grown by market gardeners for the first time in 1931. It is as hardy, early and prolific as the old Black Valentine. May be planted very early, and produces pods long, straight, round, stringless, meaty, a first-class shipper, and of excellent table quality. Qt., 40c; pk., $2.75; bu., $10.00. BEET NEW MODEL—Fills a definite need among market gar- deners and has met with success. Practical growers realiz- ing the superior quality of this strain are ordering in 25, 50 and 100-pound lots, using this one variety throughout the entire season. Pkt., 10c; %4 Ib., 25c; Ib., 75c; 10 lbs., $6.50. BORECOLE SUPERIOR EXTRA CURLED GREEN SCOTCH — More curled than any other Borecole and yielding many more bushels per acre due to its extremely vigorous growth. Nearly as hardy as Hardy Winter and now very popular with many of our customers. . Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; %4 Ib., 60c; Ib., 2.00. CURLED PERFECTION—An improved type, specially rogued and developed from a privately held American stock. Well curled and of a wonderful dark green color; winters well and commands top prices. Pkt., 10c; 4 lb., 50c; Ib., $1.50. BROCCOLI CALABRESE GREEN SPROUTING OR HEADING — The accompanying illustration shows the center head of Cala- brese Broccoli greatly reduced. After this is cut, numerous sprouts develop, forming smaller heads which are also mar- ketable. Broccoli is becoming very popular, commanding high prices, and should be grown more extensively by Mary- 0z., 50c; land truckers. Pkt., 10c; Y% Ib. $1.50; Ib., $5.00. CABBAGE *YELLOWS RESISTANT VARIETIES—The State of Wis- consin and several other State Departments of Agriculture have for a number of years been working on the best com- mercial cabbage varieties, adapting them to resist yellows or wilt. It is now possible with these resistant stocks to grow cabbage successfully even on diseased land, by sowing seed which is grown under special conditions to make it resistant. While the cost of this seed is somewhat higher than non-resistant seed, there is the added advantage of securing stock which has been reselected for conformity to true type and heading quality. Therefore these improved varieties are most desirable for both diseased and clean ground. See pages 10 and 11. CANTALOUPE SUPERFECTO—An orange flesh, extremely thick meated, heavy netted round sort of medium size, and very good quality. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; %4 Ib., 50c; Ib., $1.50. LONG JOHN—Somewhat similar in quality and appearance to Bottomly, but much larger and more elongated. Has green flesh and commands good prices in the Baltimore market. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; ™% Ilb., 60c; Ib., $2.00. CARROT NEW CHANTENAY—Produced from individual root se- lected stock, therefore a great improvement in uniformity of size and shape. The principal feature of this new strain, however, is its deep solid color. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; %4 Ib., 50c; Ib., $1.50. CORN MANNS’ EARLY SUPERIOR — This new variety is of remarkable size considering its earliness. The ears are 8 inches long and have 16 to 20 rows of rather narrow deep grains. The quality is excellent and the attractive appear- ance of the rich, tender, well-filled ears make it a very eaevtol sort for the Market Gardener. Qt., 35c; pk., $2.25; bu., $8.00. MANNS’ No. 56—The best, largest, most saleable early market corn we have ever known. It can be planted ex- tremely early without danger of rotting, which makes it pos- sible to produce marketable ears at least five weeks ahead of Stowell’s Evergreen. Resembles sugar corn, an excellent shipper and a money maker. Qt., 35c; pk., $2.00; bu., $7.50. CUCUMBER NEW DARK EVERGREEN—Retains its very dark green color for an exceptionally long period. Very prolific, of medium size; a wonderful shipper and a profitable Market Garden Variety. One of the earliest of its type. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; %4 lb., 40c; Ib., $1.25. LONGFELLOW OR STRAIGHT PACK—This variety was developed primarily for greenhouse culture; its quality, size and attractive appearance, however, have definitely estab- lished it as one of the best for out-door production. The beautiful dark green cucumbers average 12 inches in length and are adaptable for packing in flats for the very highest class trade. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; %4 lb., 60c; Ib., $2.00. LETTUCE NEW YORK SPECIAL—Ten days to two weeks earlier than regular New York. Slightly smaller but more uniform in heading and greatly resistant to excessive heat.

Ordinary commercial stocks of Radish are produced from seed without digging the roots for inspection. Manns’ Transplanted Root Selected Stock, however, is grown from hand-picked roots, assuring perfection which cannot be surpassed. %4 lIb., 25c; lb., 75c; 10 Ibs., $6.50; 100 lbs., Bray SQUASH GREEN TINTED—Preferred by market gardeners by rea- son of true decided light green color, even when fully ma- tured.

It is truly so superior to the ordinary stocks that it might rightfully be considered a new variety. Pkt., 10c: oz.. 30c: 14 Ib.. $1.00: Ib., $3.50. MANNS’ SPECIAL MARGLOBE—This well known variety has been subjected to so many varying conditions and de- grees of care in the matters pertaining to seed production that ordinary commercial stocks of it are far below the standard of the late Dr. Pritchard’s original introduction. By using extreme care in rogueing, however, we have main- tained the true Marglobe type, which is far superior to ordinary commercial stocks. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; 14 Ib., $1.35; Ib., $5.00. ASPARAGUS 1 ounce to 60 feet of drill; 1 pound per acre; 3,000 plants per acre.

Thin to about one inch apart and give frequent and thorough cultivation during the summer. 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. After the final cutting, give a good dressing of manure, ashes and salt.

Beans are tender and should not be planted until the soil is well warmed. Sowing too early will often result in a poor stand and uneven ripening. Sow the seed 14% 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. ROUND GREEN PODDED VARIETIES Asgrow (Stringless Black Valentine.)

SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 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 more productive, their bearing 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 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. ; The Early Leviathan stands supreme because of its combined Early Leviathan qualities, earliness, size and productiveness.

Our stock is grown from choice selected and transplanted 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, fri- able 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 cul- tivation. 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. The usual danger from ground worms and slugs is of course always prevalent, but once up they are easier to grow than most vegetables. They are ready for table use in about two months.

SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS Individual plants covered for self pollination. The Breeding of character and quality into our cabbage and other varieties of seeds is your assurance of successful crops. CABBAGE 1 oz. for 2,000 plants; 1% Ib. per acre. 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 plant- ings 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 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 feet apart and 2 feet apart in the rows; these will mature from September to November.

MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS PEAS 1 quart to 100 feet of drill; 144 bushels per acre. Peas grow best on a light, rich, mellow soil under cool and moist weather con- ditions. 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 83 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. FIRST EARLY SMOOTH VARIETIES Extra Early Alaska Vine strong and vigorous, 2 to 2% feet high, of a peculiar light green color, pods 3 to 3% inches long, straight and blunt at the end.

Seed green, wrinkled, large in size. This variety is of the same growth Thomas Laxton as that of the Gradus, but is usually three to four days later for market.

MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS SPINACH 1 oz. to 100 ft. of drill; 12 to 15 Ibs. per acre. Manns’ Reselected Bloomsdale Savoy This strain has been developed in response to the urgent de- mand on the part of large spinach growers for an improve- ment in the quality of the regular commercial Bloomsdale grown in Holland. The crops produced from it are so far superior in quality to the regular commercial stocks of Bloomsdale Savoy, that practically all large growers are using it to the exclusion of the un-selected stock. There is just a little difference in the prices of the seed but the market value of the crop is greatly increased. Manns’ Reselected Savoy cuts more bushels per acre because of its perfectly savoyed luxuriant growth, and commands a higher price per bushel because of its fancy quality. The plants are large, heavy, uniform and in every way especially re-selected to match the ideal Bloomsdale Savoy type. Virginia Blight Resistant Bloomsdale A strain of Bloomsdale Savoy especially developed by the Virginia Experimental Station for the purpose of resisting the disease commonly called yellows. Used extensively in the vicinity of Norfolk and in other sections where blight is encountered. Being an American sort, it matures very quickly and is therefore preferred by some growers for early Fall sowing. Our seed is grown from thoroughly reliable, genuine Vir- ginia Blight Resistant stock. oan SY ee ees 5 A trial of thirteen strains of spinach photographed May 8th and June 8th, 1930. Mr. A. Morris Todd conducted this trial for us under extremely poor weather conditions but was successful in definitely proving some very important facts regarding the characteristics of these various seed stocks. OUR IMPROVED STRAINS ARE GROWN BY THE ORIGINATORS AND WHEN BETTER QUALITY IS PRODUCED WE ARE ALWAYS AMONG THE FIRST TO OFFER IT. One of the most staple vegetables of the American table, possessing highly valuable and health giving qualities; easily grown, requiring but little attention and in sec- tions where the soil is rich, very profitable crops are produced. Select a rich piece of ground, the richer the better; and for late spring and early ‘summer use, sow the seed during February, March and April in drills one foot to 20 inches apart, one-half to one inch deep. When the plants are well started thin out to 4 to 6 inches apart, or sow the seed thinly and allow all the plants to stand. For winter and early spring use, sow either in drills or broadcast during August, September and October. A top dressing of Nitrate of Soda will make a vast improve- ment in the earliness, size and quality of the crop. Manns’ Extra Dark Green Savoy 4s, “i important introductions of new strains having real merit, we are among the first in America to offer this improved type of Bloomsdale Savoy. It is only about two days later than Reselected, but the plants are larger, less liable to bolt to seed, more heavily crumpled and of more upright growth. The very dark green color, however, is its chief advantage and in making the selections for this deep color the plant breeder has also improved the strain in its savoyed charac- teristics and absolute freedom from smooth leaved plants. Some of the most successful spinach growers in this sec- tion have already reported this new strain a very profitable crop. PRICES 10 25 100 Lb. Lbs. Lbs. Lbs.

[31] Holland Field of Early Long Standing Savoy for Seed Manns’ Early Long Standing Savoy %°*- ly as early as reselected savoy but has the very valuable advantage of standing in perfect condition, without bolting to seed, 10 to 14 days longer than other varieties. This feature is worth thousands of dollars to spinach growers, for with this variety it is possible to market the crop when it is convenient and advantageous for the grower to do so. Many severe losses have been incurred because cutters were not available, weather conditions unfavorable, or prices were too low, but Early Long Standing will wait for cutters, for weather, and for prices. It is often possible to double receipts from the crop, by simply waiting ten days for a higher market. Early Long Standing holds up exceedingly well for shipping as it is of good heavy substance. The leaves are intensely savoyed and of a beau- tiful dark green color. It possesses such wonderful marketing possibilities, that it deserves the attention of every spinach grower. King of Denmark Plants remain in condition from a week to two weeks after all other varieties have gone to seed. One of the leading sorts for home gardeners. Princess Juliana Greatly resembling savoy as the picture opposite will show; much slower in growth, however, and very late in going to seed. The ideal variety for late spring sowing, as it thrives well in warm weather and is in great demand as long as the weather permits shipping. Hollandia—Giant Smooth Leaved ™: ™°s : ; popular variety in Holland for home use and largely used by Western packers of fancy canned goods because of its excellent quality and very dark green color. The flat, extremely heavy leaves do not ship well but are ideal for the grower who contracts by weight. (TETRAGONIA EXPANSA) Not related New Zealand to regular spinaches but forming larger spreading plants producing fleshy brittle tips and leaves which are used as spinach.

[33] All our tomato seeds are grown from stocks, exclusively for seed purposes, by the originators, experienced growers and experts. We are fully convinced of the merit of all new varieties before placing them in our catalog, and therefore strongly recommend our strains as being absolutely reliable. For early, the seed should be sown in hotbeds during February or the first week in March, in drills 5 inches apart and half an inch deep. Later sowing may be made until the last of April. When the plants are 3 or 4 inches high they should be set out 4 or 5 inches apart in another hotbed or cold frame, or removed into small pots allowing a single plant to the pot. Expose to the air as much as possible to harden. Water freely at time of transplanting, and shelter from the sun a few days until the plants are established. Cultivate 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. Extra Early Varieties An extra early, large tomato Improved Advance of high quality, round or slightly flattened shape, and exceptionally smooth for such an early variety. As early and hardy as Earliana and yield- ing more fruit both in the first and subsequent pickings. It is more shapely, more free from cracks and shows less green about the stem than other extra early sorts. With Improved Advance the grower can produce a crop which will stand superior in appearance and quality, in compe- tition with the other extra earlies and command the fancy prices of an early market. , Dr. Fred J. Pritchard of the U. S. Dept. Break O Day of Agriculture describes his new crea- tion as follows: “Very productive, early variety, highly re- sistant to wilt and somewhat resistant to blights. Fruits large, smooth, meaty, red, globular.” It is a cross between Marglobe and Marvana combining the quality, appearance and yield of Marglobe with the early type vine growth of Marvana. Both parent stocks are dis- ease resistant. Trials in Florida, and in the North indicate that Break O’Day will become the most important early tomato, as it is about ten days earlier than Marglobe, and while it is slightly smaller it is an excellent shipper as well as a good canners variety. Dr. Pritchard’s success in plant breeding and his recom- mendation of this variety should lead every market gardener to make at least a trial planting for comparison with present favorites. 7 , This: ass ani ex- Sparks Earliana tremely early vari- ety and produces large clusters of fair-size fruits, which are very uniform in size and shape.

It is truly so superior to the ordinary stocks that it might rightfully be considered a new variety. It is earlier than Chalk’s Early Jewel, and within two or three days as early as Earliana. Very pro- lific, with liberal foliage to protect the fruit from the sun. The beautiful scarlet-red fruit is set in clusters of 5 or more. Its great characteristic is that it ripens each set- ting of fruit nearly all at once, and ripens evenly all over up to the stem. I want to say a word of praise for your special strain of Bonny Best Tomato. For heavy cropping, large size, and earliness and smoothness, it can not be beat. It will suit any critical market gardener if he wants the best strain obtainable. I have been growing Bonny Best To- matoes for 20 years and have paid as much as $5.00 per ounce, but I must say that you have about the best strain I ever used. They are extra fine. Geo. T. Robinson, , Md.

This variety has at- ’ Manns Improved Stone tained great favor with canners and market gardeners everywhere. Its solidity and carrying qualities are remarkable. Its color is a desirable red; in shape perfectly smooth, and thicker from stem to blossom end than most varieties, making it most handsome and salable. C : In developing this wilt-proof strain Wilt Resistant the plant breeder has made his se- lections from a strain of the very highest quality in points of production, size, flavor, weight, thickness of skin and color. A very profitable main crop sort. Second Early and Main Crop Varieties Marglobe Special Our stock of this extremely popu- lar variety is far superior to the average and we have received many unsolicited testimonials complimenting us on its excellent quality. It produces heavy yields of large smooth, globular, meaty, red fruits. They have a delightful flavor, and are covered with a thick skin which hinders cracking. More- over, the plants shade the fruits well and thus protect them from sun-scald. “Marglobe has been developed primarily to resist wilt. In addition to this extremely valuable feature, however, the variety has many other characteristics of merit. The heavy yields produced make this a very profitable variety to grow. Fruits average one-half pound each, of a perfect globe shape, beautiful deep scarlet in color, and only mildly acid; vines grow vigorously without spreading, have abundant foliage furnishing adequate cover for the fruits without too much shade, and ripening its first fruits from 90 to 95 days. Marglobe is unsurpassed for table use and canning purposes, and is worthy of careful consideration of every tomato grower.” , Since our introduction of it in 1905 Maryland Pride it has been grown with great suc- cess by canners and market gardeners, who pronounce it “the very best second early and main crop Tomato they have ever grown.” The fruit is a beautiful bright red color, magnifi- cent size and handsome, smooth shape. The vines grow vig- orously and produce abundantly until killed by frost. B. B. Tomato For description see New Stone.

Red Rock Tomato TURNIPS 1 oz. to 150 feet 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 popular method, however, is to broadcast the seed between rows of corn or in the cultivated orchard. Proper control of root maggots is effected by rotation of crops, the use of commercial fertilizers in- stead of manure and the application of Mag-o-tite or other carbolic acid emulsion. ; Pure white all over and perfectly Extra Early Six Weeks tnre white all yer and pe Tv ; A white variety, pur- Extra Early Purple Top Milan * shite xovety, pur This, with the White Milan, is the earliest of all turnips.

The price is determined entirely by the value and proportions of the various grasses used in the mixture. Cheap lawn mixtures are the most expensive to sow because they contain only a small percent- age of high germinating seed of the desirable varieties and large proportions of the cheap, undesir- able grasses and chaff. Manns’ Superior Lawn Grass Seed is a correctly proportioned mixture of the very best varieties of grasses blended according to a formula which has resulted from many years of study and experi- ence. Every variety included has its special duty to perform in the quick production and steady maintenance of a beautiful and permanent lawn.

MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. [39] CLOVERS MEDIUM OR COMMON RED. (Trifolium pratense.) The Clover Seed of Commerce, and the most important and valu- able of the Clover family for agricultural purposes. Sow 15 pounds per acre. (Bushel 60 pounds.) 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 plow- ing under as a fertilizer. WHITE DUTCH. (Trifolium repens.) Grows naturally in pastures in a great variety of soils and situations; indis- pensable 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 1st to 15th; for 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 pounds.) 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 3 crops a year can be cut. Not recommended for pasture. (Bushel 60 pounds.) BOKHARA OR WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER. (Melilotus alba.) This slightly resembles Alfalfa in growth, but is much taller, with leafier and stiffer stems. It fre- quently grows 5 to 6 feet in height and branches freely, with slender spikes of small, fragrant, white flowers, which afford an excellent food for bees. (Bushel 60 pounds.) JAPAN CLOVER. This makes most nutritious and desirable summer pasture. Grows well and spreads rapidly on poor lands, hillside and under the shade of trees. (Bushel 25 pounds.) 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 EARLY 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. CYCLO Has a national reputation as absolutely the best hand sower on the market. Price—$2.15 each 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 pounds 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 a 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 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. WHIPPOORWILL. A favorite early bunch-growing variety. A prime favorite in the North and West on account of its early maturity and habit of growth. SOY OR SOJA BEANS A Great Drought-Resisting Forage Crop, Producing Immense Quantities of Nutritious Food, Besides Being an Excellent Soil Improver. The Soy Bean is coming right to the front as a great soil 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. CANADA FIELD PEAS Sown in open weather during December, January, February and March, making large yields of 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 hay. BUCKWHEAT JAPANESE. This variety yields very largely. The kernels are larger than other sorts, but owing to its branching quali- ties it need not be sown so thickly. SILVER HULL. A superior variety in every way to the ordinary Buckwheat whick 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 recleaned by us. RUST-PROOF OATS. A favorite spring variety in the South, particularly where the land is rich; produces enor- mous yield, and excellent for cutting for hay.

McWhorter Fertilizer Distributors have been used for many years with great success and have features not to be found on any other fertilizer distributor. The McWhorter does not depend on gravity for feeding fertilizer, but positive belt force feed which can be adjusted to feed any amount required. The spouts are adjustable and can be set to feed the number of rows desired, or to broadcast. Each set of spouts can be adjusted to feed any amount of lime or fer- tilizer desired from a few pounds to over a ton per acre. The feed adjustment of each set of spouts is regulated inde- pendently. By moving a lever the entire machine can be shut off while going to or from the field. The hopper on the larger machines is so constructed that it sits down over the wheels. This patented feature brings the hopper very close to the ground, thereby eliminating waste of material on windy days, and making the loading much easier.

BEE SUPPLIES AND IMPLEMENTS CASE EMERSON-BRANTINGHAM—OSBORNE Let us Send Literature and Prices on the Implements in Which You Are Interested CASE TRACTOR PLOWS Combining the best features of both the E-B and Grand Detour lines the J. I. Case Company has now produced a tractor plow second to none. It has a dependable power lift, easy scour- ey, ing mouldboards, quick detachable ee shares, heat treated beams, solid ee j Year wheel, rolling coulters, and all ; — other advantages of the latest de- sign in the development of tractor equipment. THE CASE POWER CONTROL DISK HARROW Eliminates Lost Time and Hard Work The design and construction of the Case E-B Power Con- trol Disk Harrow is of as much value to the power farmer as was the development of the power lift plow. It eliminates all of the lost time and unnecessary effort in- volved in disking with the old type of implement. With this Case Har- row, the gangs may be angled or straightened by- tractor power without stopping, backing up or leaving the seat—all done by pulling a single rope while the outfit moves forward. The patented power clutch is the simplest device of the kind found on any implement. There is nothing to get out of order and all working parts run in oil enclosed in an oiltight case. You will profit by the advantages of this Tractor Harrow because: It saves time, labor and fuel by eliminating all stopping, backing up, starting and adjustment of the disks by hand. Headlands may be left level and in fine condition for planting. Irregular places in the field such as back fur- rows and dead furrows may be leveled during the disking without extra work. The load on the tractor may be quickly reduced to avoid being stalled in difficult places. CASE E-B MOWERS Case E-B 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 pow- “er of the machine, overcomes side draft and weight on the horses’ necks, giving it a powerful cutting it to cut through the heavier grass without materially increasing the draft. The gear and driv- ing mechanism is the three motion gear and is especially valuable 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. CASE E-B MANURE SPREADER The efficiency of the old E-B has even been improved upon by Case until now it is the most practical manure spreader on the market. It is low, permit- ting easy loading, has tight body holding liquid manure. One piece continuous channel steel frame sills bv 4 with oak cross bars and adjustable steel braces, built to stand heavy loading and hauling over rough ground, levers convenient to operator, wide spreading cylinder and integral part of the machine, not an attach- ment, remarkably light pulling, fine pulverizing and even spreading. Six rates of unloading are provided ranging from 6 to 23 loads per acre. Many other features such as pressure lubrication, full seven foot spread, pivot auto type front wheels, etc., will be appreciated more and more during years of usage.

MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. [59] UNITED STATES POULTRY NETTING United States Poultry Fence is strictly a “NO SAG” fence, as the combination of line and mesh wires, closely woven, prevents any lengthening or nar- rowing between posts. In erecting U.S. Poultry Fence the line wires per- mit of being stretched to a high tension, which com- pels the fence to remain rigid and upright without an- choring it to a baseboard or top rail. These fea- tures 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 tention 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 gal- vanized after weaving. 2-inch Mesh—Put up in Rolls of 150 feet 19 guage 20 guage eR INO 2 hoes 23 er ERI a eS Sata $1.15 $1.00 TASS Clee eee eine OR Be Se ee eet er 2.10 1.80 BERINCN is 4 ae ee aerate Soe Cae 2.85 2.45 ETE eS) See Oe NOES Bice Cae 3.80 3.25 TOS yd Ue o> Oe San APe Soe Sere” 5 Oeee enarens 4.75 4.10 72ST Gl eee CSING The Ee SS oe ene 5.70 4.90 In less than Roll lots, 144¢ a square foot.

CHANNELDRAIN ROOFING [ 4 A rig v ; i THIS IS THE - CHANNELDRAIN fi i ‘NO WATER GETS BY THIS CHANNEL WALL Made of COP-R-LOY The Copper-Alloyed Steel That Resists Rust and Corrosion Channeldrain has a barrier to leaks—a vertical wall run- ning the entire length of the lap—and no water gets by this wall. The channel formed by the patented design of Chan- neldrain roofing carries off the water before it can mount the ridge. This means that Channeldrain roofing goes far- ther than other metal roofing in doing what roofing is intended to do—IT DRAINS OFF ALL THE WATER THAT FALLS ON THE ROOF, permitting the surface to dry quickly and prevents rust under the laps and around nail holes. It is easy to understand the economy in roofing that has these advantages—and only Channeldrain has them. You can apply Channeldrain yourself and enjoy the supe- rior benefits of this modern patented roofing, with freedom from repairs through long years to come. It will save money for you. 28 guage, 544c per square foot.
