Allow the plants to stand 4 to 10 inches apart in the row 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 Control of Mexican Bean Beetle CALCIUM ARSENAT# MAGNESIUM ARSENATE RED ARROW EVERGREEN See Pages 54 and 55. AIDS IN PREVENTION OF BEAN SPOT | Bean Spot or Anthracnose is a disease caused by the fungus colletotrichum lindemuthianum, which is carried in seed, soil and dead vines, from previous years’ crop. It is very rare or unknown in the semi-arid region of the West where our Bean seed is grown, and with this disease-free seed, the damage from spot may be reduced considerably by the customary methods of crop rotation, burning the refuse, destruction of weeds, and improving the air and soil drainage. For a successful crop, plant disease-free seed, and practice crop rotation, never planting Beans on land where the same crop grew the previous season; do not cultivate or walk through the Bean field or pick beans while wet with dew or rain. If the disease is present, it is then easily spread from one part of the field to another. Disease-free soil is just as essential as clean seed in the production of a crop free from spot.

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 Farly Leviathan qualities, earliness, size and productiveness.

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 trans- plant, 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. For main crop sow in the early part of May while for winter use they may be planted up to July 1st. One of the very Extra Early Flat Egyptian earliest, excellent for forcing and early crop.

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.

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. 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.

A very profitable main crop sort. (Continued) This new introduction by the U. S. Depart- Marglobe ment of Agriculture is without doubt the most wonderful development ever offered tomato growers. We quote the following description given us by Dr. Fred J. Prichard, of the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture. “In regard to the description of the Marglobe I would say that it is a very prolific, second-early, red-fruited variety. It usually 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. Moreover, the plants shade the fruits well and thus pro- tect 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.

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.

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 SPIKE TOOTH HARROWS Built for hard rough use and long service. The teeth are adjustable and reversible, and neatly headed on the upper end to prevent losing out. A size and type for every need. We also offer durable and depend- able Spring Tooth Harrows. 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 CD a proper distribution of the weight, \ greatly increases the traction pow- , er of the machine, overcomes side r draft and weight on the horses’ iecaaeamaa "necks, giving it a powerful cutting capacity which enables 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 HAY RAKES Make Hay the Case Way. Save leaves and preserve that rich green color.

BARRED PLYMOUTH ROCKS First distinctively American breed and still the most popu- lar of the all-purpose breeds. Barred Rocks are hardy and vigorous; excellent winter lay- ers, and also preferred by experienced buyers of table fowl because of their abundant breast meat and bright yellow skin. Easy to raise and will thrive anywhere. Barred Plymouth Rock BUFF ORPINGTONS A choice table bird—either as broiler or roaster. They develop rapidly, eight-week-old cockerels often weighing two pounds. They are excellent winter layers, stately in appear- ance, with long, round deep bodies, full breasts and broad backs, JERSEY BLACK GIANTS This new breed is becoming more popular every year. The plumage is lustrous greenish black, skin a rich yellow, finest table fowl, extremely large and heavy; excellent layers of 1 b eggs. aes BLACK MINORCAS Noted chiefly for their very large white eggs which com: mand highest prices in the New York Market. They are hardy and begin laying when four to five months of age. They have glossy black plumage, large combs, black legs and white skin. WHITE LEGHORNS Most widely used breed of chickens, being the best of all for egg production. The strain which we offer are bred to suit the require- ments of commercial egg farms and every possible means has been employed in developing the stock for this purpose. White Leghorn WHITE WYANDOTTES One of the oldest and most popular of all American breeds, and ranking among the highest as egg producers.. They have broad backs, deep round. bodies, large red rose combs, yellow skin, and heavy close fitting plumage which enables them to withstand cold weather. Very striking in appearance; unsur- passed for table fowl. White Wyandotte RHODE ISLAND RED One of the best layers of the heavy breeds and an excellent table fowl. Somewhat rangler than Plymouth Rocks but the strongest competitor. A very profitable breed for the farmer. They are universally popular, however, with all poultrymen. WHITE ROCKS Differ from Barred Rocks only in their plumage. Quiet and easily confined. Popular be- cause of their beauty, produc- tiveness and value for market purposes; they dress easily hav- ing no dark pin feathers. Not- able layers of large brown eggs.

[73] WIRE FENCING 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 oo 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 waaay 19 guage 20 guage DST cm eay ea heies baa eis apes Leen rane Ma ieee $1.25 $1.15 24-inch .....

CaN ROOFING 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, 5144c per square foot.

MOTOR CULTIVATOR J. MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. [79] Are You Paying the Price of a GRAVELY MOTOR CULTIVATOR Without Really Owning One? More than a hun- dred successful Baltimore growers are using this equipment. F YOU are growing oats, hay and corn on a big scale, you do not need a Gravely Tractor. But if you grow row crops that require frequent and careful cultivation, you need one or more, depending on the acreage you are cultivating. If you grow nursery stock or shrubbery, you are losing money every day that you do without a Gravely Tractor. If you grow bulbs or flowers and do not use a Gravely Tractor, you are wasting good money for labor in planting as well as cultivat- ing. If you are a market gardener and have several acres under cultivation, the Gravely will save you enough each season in labor alone to pay for itself several times. It will increase your yields and give you better quality in your crops, because you can cultivate them so well and so rapidly that you can get your work done at the proper time to kill the weeds and conserve both moisture and fertility for the growing crops. q If you are a poultryman, the Gravely will bring you big returns. It will go through the narrow gates and plow your runs close up to the fences and in the corners. It will mow your oats, weeds, lawn or orchard, plow, plant and cultivate your garden and do many other jobs. q If you have a home garden and a lawn to mow, the Gravely Tractor will pay you in the satisfac- tion of having a good garden, a well-mowed lawn and you will be able to do the work so quickly and so easily that it will be a real pleasure. @ Gravely Tractors are being used by people who have less than one acre of ground, and by many who have hundreds, and by some who have thousands of acres under cultivation. q If you have crops to plant and cultivate, the A Few Gravely Features: Gravely will do your work like you want it done, Does better and faster work than hand tools. and at the time you want it done, it will save you Operates at lower cost than any other cultivator. 7 ibe Constructed of very best material and built for long, time, TOY and money, regardless of the num hard usage. ber of acres you are cultivating.

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.
