FOR MARKET GARDENERS and other judicious and careful growers who sow the best. FORREST AND HILLEN STS. AT BELAIR MARKET BALTIMORE, MD. Varieties of Special Merit UR general stocks are unexcelled in quality and better seeds cannot be purchased at any price. The following recently improved 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. See page 4. NEW STRINGLESS — Also called Tendergreen. A very heavy cropper, hardier and more dependable than Full Mea- sure with pods of a darker green and less susceptible to disease. See page 4. Ee are ee a Borecole—Superior Extra Curled “ei. ‘ eee Superior Extra Curled After Stripping 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.

FLOWER SEED, PLANT AND BULB CATALOG Now issued separately and mailed free to growers of Flowers. If you wish to have a copy, please advise. J. MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS Selected Heads of Golden Acre for Stock Seed Production CABBAGE POINTED HEAD WINTER. (See page 11.) *YELLOWS RESISTANT VARIETIES—tThe 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. CARROT IMPERATOR (Also called Tendersweet)—One of the finest new carrots recently introduced. Grows 7 to 8% inches long, measuring nearly 2 in. diameter at the shoulder and taper- ing to a semi-blunt end. Flésh rich orange throughout and of exceptional quality.

[3] 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.

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.

PEAS NEW WILT RESISTANT VARIETIES—see page 24 RUTABAGA NEW CANADIAN—Grown for a number of years in the North and held very closely by private individuals, the seed of this variety has always been extremely difficult to procure in a true and reliable type.

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.

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 lb., $1.35; Ib., $5.00.

MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS BUSH BEANS 1 pint to 100 feet of drill; 1 to 1144 bushels per acre. 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 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 workins 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.) Fully as early as the regular stringy Black Valentine but producing exceptionally long, oval or nearly round pods. Extremely prolific, entirely stringless, and of highest quality. Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod 1's variety has justly become very popular and can be profit- ably grown by either trucker or home gardener. It combines vigor, earliness and productiveness. The pods are produced in abundance and are handsome in appearance, being rich dark green in color, smooth, absolutely round, meaty, stringless, free from fiber, and of exceptionally delicate quality. Mature for picking condition in 45 days. New Stringless Green Pod This new highly productive strain has many Full Measure characteristics bred into it. Its prolific nature, season of growth, length, roundness of pods and appearance, are definitely inherited and yet to these very desirable features has been added a wonderful degree of hardiness which helps New Stringless with- Burpee’s Stringless. Full Measure Stringless stand adverse weather conditions better than its parent stock. Giant Stringless Green Pod A very productive long, round-podded variety, longer and straighter than A second early, round-podded, stringless bean of recent introduction.

They are green at first changing as they mature to yellow splashed with carmine. The dried seeds are large, almost round, light buff spotted with dark red. Our special stock of this variety is superior to the old style Dwarf Cherry, being entirely stringless and free from runners. Black Valentine This variety has proven itself to be the most hardy of all string beans. It will resist cold and wet better than any other sort and therefore can be planted extremely early and very late in the season. They should be picked as soon as ready as they will become tough if allowed to remain on the vines too long. Late Refugee or Thousand-To-One N°te4 for its great produc- a tiveness, this variety has gained favor for canning and pickling. The dense foliage protects the pods from early frosts, thereby prolonging the season. The pods measure 5 to 5% inches, are round, somewhat slender, almost stringless and of good quality. FLAT PODDED GREEN STRINGLESS , Extra early, green pod, good cropper, hardy, prolific; pods long, Bountiful straight, thick-flat, entirely stringless, good quality.

It has been found in many sections of Maryland, Wisconsin, ete., that peas are often badly damaged by Wilt, near Wilt, root- rot and other diseases. Some of these diseases are controlled by proper rotation of crops but Wilt can only be avoided on Wilt sick soils by using Wilt-Resistant strains. The University of Maryland has been working on this problem in the canners varieties, accomplishing wonderful results. If you have not found it possible to grow a success- ful pea crop in recent years, try Wilt Resistant strains. It will mean success instead of failure if your soil is infected with Wilt. Peas, being legumes, are greatly benefited by inoculation with Nitra- gin, the legume bacteria fixing mate- rial.

[27] MAINE GROWN SEED POTATOES LET US QUOTE PRICES ON HIGHEST QUALITY SEED ON BASIS OF LOWEST MARKET VALUE Potatoes will adapt themselves to various soil conditions as easily as most vegetables. however, on a sandy loam which contains a quantity of well rotted vegetable matter. A better crop will be produced, A clover sod, vetches turned under in the fall, or land which was heavily manured for a previous crop supply ideal conditions. In preparing the seed the eyes should be cut so that the largest part of the surrounding flesh is situated toward the stem end, because the eyes of a potato always have a root system running toward that end and for that reason the sprouts cannot draw moisture from the opposite direction. 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 disinfected as a preventative. 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 furrows 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 broadcast 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 tokill 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 attained full growth and begin to spread. Spraying for insects and blight is very necessary, Pyrox giving very satisfactory results. The size and quality of the crop and the ability to resist disease is directly depen- dent upon the seed planted and no amount of cultivation or attention will offset the uncontrollable results of poor seed.

Light, sandy soil, rich in organic matter is essential to produce crisp and tender radishes. For an early crop sow the seed as soon as the ground can be worked, in drills 6 to 10 inches apart, cover- ing the seed half an inch deep. When the plants are well started, thin out to one inch apart in the drills. Frequent watering in dry weather is very beneficial as high quality is largely dependent upon rapid growth. For a continuous supply, successive plantings should be made at intervals of 10 days to two weeks, selecting varieties best suited for the season.

We are fully convinced of the merit of all new varieties before placing them in our catalog, and therefore strongly 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 83 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. few days until the plants are established. Water freely at time of transplanting, and shelter from the sun a 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.

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.

[35] RUTABAGAS OR SWEDES Rutabagas require about four weeks longer to mature than ordinary varieties of turnips, but are more solid, of firmer flesh and therefore keep later into the spring. They are for this reason more desirable for storage, while turnips are better adapted for the early market. Sow during July either in drills or broadcast. e Grown for a number of years in the New Canadian North and held very closely by pri- vate individuals, the seed of this variety has always been extremely difficult to procure in a true and reliable type. After three years of searching and checking in our trial grounds, we have found the correct strain and offer it with every assurance that it will soon become the only Rutabaga grown in this section. Our superb strain of this Neckless Purple Top excellent variety has be- come a favorite because of its hardy and productive nature. ° : Mr. R.

TURNIPS 1 oz. to 150 feet of drill; 1 Ib. 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 frre white a gic ond pe ; A white variety, pur- Extra Early Purple Top Milan * 3p rie, Rae This, with the White Milan, is the earliest of all turnips.

(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.

MISCELLANEOUS FIELD SEEDS 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 ae 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 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 recleaned by us. RUST-PROOF OATS.

P ‘yrox kills bugs —prevents blights poe you have to do to keep your farm crops free from leaf-chew- ing insects and fungus diseases is this: Mix Pyrox with water and spray. No need to waste time and effort mixing Bordeaux and arsenicals. We recommend Pyrox because it will not clog the smallest nozzle. It comes out a fine mist and covers the foliage completely, sticking to the leaves even through the hardest rains. Insects die. Blight is prevented. Your farm has a chance to show what it really can do for you! There is a size of Pyrox to suit every need! Nicotine Pyrox If you have a garden patch, you will want a jar of the new Nicotine Pyrox— Standard Pyrox treated with Nicotine. It not only kills leaf-chewing insects, prevents blight and other diseases, as Standard Pyrox does, but it also kills sucking insects, such as aphis, thrips and leaf-hoppers. Standard Pyrox, of course, is designed for most commercial crops, but in the garden, where sucking insects do so much damage, you will want Nicotine Pyrox, Just mix Yrox ) eesacboa 16 ocd 5 ads cindomoe oc $ .50 [Jal NGetoaneaeeae ncaa dAc abnor 1.75 LO WDD iccecheraystelet=icite «fe Totetetalsn-t- hehe nate 3.00 TN NIRSG odo chu Cnoosd Moca ToDo oe 5.00 BW Wns cGcoccsospobudnot duabbeane 7.25 Mc oo ne Abode Goin O OES < 12.50 BLN Sees Contscboobor are boooL ads 30.00 NICOTINE PYROX 1 Ib., 50c; 5 Ibs., $1.75; 10 lbs., $3.00, INSECTICIDES J.

McWHORTER FERTILIZER DISTRIBUTORS 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.

CHANNELDRAIN ROOFING ‘WATER FROM| PN ABOVES Ss Made of COP-R-LOY The Copper-Alloyed Steel That Resists Rust and Corrosion IT DRAINS OFF NEVER - FALLS ~ "BELOW Channeldrain has a barrier to leaks—a vertical wail 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 gauge, 514c per square foot.

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’ SHADY PLACE LAWN SEED Contains only those grasses which are best adapted for growing under trees and in shaded spots. It quickly pro- duces an abundant and even growth of beautiful grass, harmonizing in color and general appearance with our regu- lar Superior mixture. MANNY’ EVERGREEN LAWN SEED Is a good, clean mixture of high germinating stock, strictly pure and of low weed content. Not as permanent as our Superior mixture, but well worth the price. Be sure to ask us about Hyper-Humus before making your lawn improvements.
