Varieties of Special Merit

Ov 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 pro-

gressive market gardener.

BEETS

MANNS’ NEW MODEL—Has become a favorite with market
gardeners supplying the most critical trade. A thoroughly
established strain, dependable year after year for its uniform
maturity, deep red color, freedom from light zones, and good
bunching tops. New Model is no longer “new.” It has been
grown for nearly ten years in the vicinity of Baltimore, and
each year our sales of it have increased over the previous
year. We do not know any beet that will beat New Model
as a main crop variety for this section. Page 7.

CABBAGE

os

CHIEFTAIN SAVOY—Received the award of Merit, 1938
All-American selection. Produces well formed, medium sized
firm heads, outstanding in uniformity and quality. Page 9.

CARROT

STREAMLINER—An ideal new bunching carrot for shippers
and market gardeners. Tops short, rather sparse, dark green,
and strong. Roots long slender, nearly cylindrical; at
maturity 8 to 10 in. long by 1% to 1% in. at shoulder; grow
completely underground. Color very deep orange, cores small
and uniformly red. Page 12.

SUNRISE—A favorite with market garden trade because
of its fine quality, perfect shape and attractive color.
Specially valuable for medium and late use, an excellent
keeper and thoroughly dependable. Page 12.

RADISH

=

SCARLET GLOBE No. 8—So
each sowing can be entirely gathered and bunched at one
pulling, with practically no waste. This means more bunches
per row, more time saved in bunching, and the ground ready
for the next crop a week earlier. Page 30.

Superior Seeds

uniform in its maturity that

TOMATOES

MANNY’
consistently producing outstanding yields of deep globe-
shaped, bright red, solid meaty fruits. Picking begins early

SUPERIOR GLOBE—A trial ground selection

mid-season and continues well until frost. Superior Globe
has yielded heavier crops of No. 1 Grade than Rutgers,
Marglobe or any of the other numerous varieties in our
Parkville trials. Seed supply limited. Pkt., 25c; oz., $1.00;
% Ib., $3.50; lb., $12.50.

RUTGERS tomato has become so popular due to its quality
and yield that it naturally has had wide distribution and
publicity. It is very important however that seeds of this
new variety be purchased from the most reliable sources, as
some stocks have been grown more carefully than others
and preservation of the original qualitites has been an expen-
sive item in its reproduction. Manns’ stock of Rutger’s is
not only certified but has been produced from stock seed
which we have proven to be superior to two other certified
stocks. Oz., 50c; %4 Ib., $1.50; Ib., $5.00.

ASPARAGUS

1 ounce to 60 feet of drill; 1 pound per acre;
3,000 plants per acre.

Sow in spring in drills about eighteen inches apart and
two inches deep in light, rich soil, planting fifteen to twenty
seed to each foot of row. 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. 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.

MARY WASHINGTON—Resistant to disease, large, early
and produces remarkably tender dark green stalks with very
compact purplish green tips. Pkt., 10c; %4 Ib., 50c; Ib., $1.50.

PARADISE—New early, extremely strong, vigorous produ-
cer, rust resistant. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 50c; %4 Ib., $1.50; Ib., $5.00.

ASPARAGUS ROOTS

From one to two years may be saved by planting roots
instead of seed. Choice, 2-year-old roots.

MARY WASHINGTON, 25 for 75c; $2.50 per 100.

Full Measure

New Stringless Green Pod

BUSH BEANS

1 pint to 100 feet of drill; 1 to 14% 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 working them while the vines are
wet. Beans grow best in warm, well-drained, sandy loam.
For succession plant every two weeks until about August 15th.

ROUND GREEN PODDED
VARIETIES

Asgrow Stringless Black Valentine ¥™"'y a

ardy
and early as the original Black Valentine but producing
exceptionally long, oval or nearly round pods. Extremely
prolific, entirely stringless, and of highest quality.

Black Valentine Stringless (Round Pod)—

Produces strictly
round, stringless pods. Not as early nor as prolific as the
oval type and will not stand planting as early. Its real
utility lies in the slenderness of its pods for canning.

Tendergreen—see new stringless green pod.

{ J

Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod (Improved )
Very popular and can be profitably grown by either trucker
or home gardener. It combines vigor, earliness and produc-
tiveness. The pods are produced in abundance and are hand-
some 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.

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-
stand adverse weather conditions better than its parent stock.

Giant Stringless Green Pod A very productive long, round-podded

variety, longer and straighter than
Burpee’s Stringless.

Dwarf Horticultural or Dwarf Cherry 0°20! the best qual-

ity dwarf sorts for
both snap and green shell beans for the home garden and market. As a green
shelled bean it is equal to the lima in quality while any surplus crop can be kept
for winter use. The pods are 5 inches long, stout, flat and stringless.

, An oval-flat green podded stringless bean, not as flat as
Streamliner Bountiful and growing about 1 to 1% inches longer. Matures
in 50 days and outyielded Bountiful in all tests. Seed white.

Full Measure Stringless A second early, round-podded, stringless

bean of recent introduction. The pods are
straight, meaty, and are dark green in color. They are entirely stringless and
measure 6 to 8 inches in length. Very prolific.

FLAT PODDED GREEN STRINGLESS

, Extra early, green pod, good cropper, hardy, prolific; pods long,
B ountiful straight, thick-flat, entirely stringless, good quality. The best
extra early, semi-round variety.

, (50 Days)—An improved Bountiful, with longer, thicker, darker
P lentiful green pods. Two or three days later than Bountiful but much
more prolific and resistant to two of the most troublesome forms of rust; an
All-American Winner. We offer the originator’s stock.

Increased yields result from Nitragin Inoculation

Burpee’s Stringless Improved

Superior Seeds

WAX BEANS

Sure Crop Wax Decidedly better quality than Cur-

rie’s Rust Proof but vine and seed
very similar in appearance, and maturing about a week later.
The pods are of a rich yellow color, growing an inch longer
than Currie’s and stringless at all stages of growth. The
disease resistant qualities found in Currie’s are duplicated in
this variety and it is vigorous, hardy, and very productive.
For quality use Sure Crop, while for earliness Currie’s is

POLE LIMA BEANS if%2ueu

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. The large, well
filled pods are borne in clusters of five to ten and are s aced over the entire vine. They

are well filled with large fleshy beans of excellent quality, delicate pale green in color.

, This is the best and most popular main crop variety.
King of the Garden Vines are strong and vigorous; setting pods early and
continuing to bear until frost. Is used extensively by market gardeners because of its
very prolific nature and the immense size of the pods, which are very straight and hand-

some; of medium dark green color, broad, flat and filled with four or five large white
beans of finest quality.

Improved Challenger or Improved Dreer’s Pole Vigorous ana

very productive.
Pods and beans resemble Fordhook Bush Limas. Therefore also known as Fordhook Pole.

Today we have been pulling down the last of our Lima Beans and stacking the poles
for next year and we cannot help but write you a few lines to let you know how we were
pleased with the Improved Challenger Pole Limas.

To our mind they are the best of all the pole varieties, giving one a plump, green
bean, very succulent or moist, but with still enough meatiness to afford plenty of sub-
stance and carry their green color after they are cooked, with a delicious nutty flavor.

As to their productiveness we are fully satisfied as we have picked as many as 87
large plump green pods off one pole at one time and this after the pole had been picked sev-
eral times during the season, our poles were about 12 feet high and the vines went to the
tops and hung down.

We had another variety of pole limas in the garden that were sent to us by a friend
and found them to be less productive and a thin or flat white bean that did not have the
flavor or attractiveness when cooked, needless to say we will plant only Improved Chal-
lenger from Manns next season.

We are maehlyy pleaaed with all he seeds we purchased from you and you will soon
receive our order for next year’s su 5 :

BUSH LIMA BEANS

Large seeded sorts, 1 qt. to 100 hills; 1 bu. to the acre.
Small seeded sorts, 1 qt. to 150 hills; 3 pks. to the acre.
These varieties require no support, are about two weeks Early
earlier than the pole beans, and can be planted closer in Leviathan
the rows. They are therefore used by large growers and
by gardeners who do not find it convenient to use poles.
After danger of frost is past and the ground has become
warm, plant in 3 foot rows dropping 8 seeds to a hill and the hills 15 inches apart.

TABLE BEETS

1 ounce to 50 feet of drill; 5 pounds per acre.

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 ist.

Yellows Resistant Varieties marked *

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.

*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.

BORECOLE Scotch Kale

Extensively grown in this section for market-

cabbage, the seed being sown from early spring
to the middle of August. It is customary to pull
off the lower leaves and let the plant grow on
to furnish a continuous supply.

, This variety is one of the

sorts for either the home or market gardener.
The plant attains a height of 18 inches and pro-

1 ounce to 150 feet of drill; 4 pounds per acre.
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.

7 , , Developed especially as a
California Bunching bunching carrot for long
distance shipping. Roots about 1% in. by 7 in. long, cylin-
drical stump rooted,-deep orange color throughout, can be
pulled before maturity or allowed to stand weeks later with-
out becoming overgrown.

A most excellent,
Chantenay or Model Carrot 4 most excelien’,
half-long variety. Very uniform, stump-rooted but tapering
slightly. They are smooth, deep orange-red in color and the
flesh is very crisp and tender. Although a medium early
sort the roots are suitable for use nearly as early as any,
and will also prove very satisfactory if grown for winter use.
Very easily harvested and bunched.

Produced from individual root se-

N ew Chantenay lected stock, therefore a great im-
provement in uniformity of size and shape. The principal

feature of this new strain, however, is its deep solid color.

Chantenay

Sunrise This variety has become a favorite with our
market garden trade because of its fine quality,
perfect shape and attractive color. Sunrise has been found
to be specially valuable for medium and late use, an excel-
lent keeper and thoroughly dependable. It is of most per-
fect form, pointed-rooted, with a broad, high shoulder. For
main planting this sort has no superior, and when sown dur-
ing June may be depended upon to produce the very best
crop of roots to store for winter.
This is an exceptionally fine

CELERY

1 ounce to 5,000 plants; 20,000 plants per acre.

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 fre-
quently 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.

This new strain of Golden Self-
Golden Plume Blanehing has been pronounced by
authorities to be the best of all the early varieties. It
matures two or three weeks earlier than any other sort,
blanches more quickly and shows less tendency-to blight or
crown-rot. Distinctly larger and ranker in growth than
Golden Self-Blanching; more plainly ribbed and does not
grow hollow. The crisp, tender stalks are very broad and
the large full plumed centers are displayed to advantage.

Sugar Corn should not be planted until May, or when the ground is warm.
For succession, plant about every two weeks until the last of July. All varie-

seeds being placed about 8 inches apart in the rows, or they may be planted
in hills at distances of three or four feet apart each way, allowing not more

GROW HYBRIDIZED VARIETIES
OF KNOWN ADAPTABILITY

The increased cost is only about $2.00 more per acre, but the
yield is increased 25% or more. Practically all of the larger
canning companies are now planting Hybrid Corn because of
the certainty of a better yield and much better quality. It
is important, however, to plant only seed grown by an expert
hybridist as hybrid corn is not necessarily all desirable. The
process is expensive, highly technical and requires the skill
of a plant breeder. Buy Manns’ hybridized corn; it has been
grown by experts and has proven profitable for this section.

Please Note—It is useless to try to save seed from hybrid
varieties of corn. They must be newly developed each year.

EGG PLANT

1 ounce will produce 1,000 plants.

Sow in March in hotbeds, and transplant when 2 inches high into a second
hotbed, or let them remain and thin out to 4 inches apart. When the weather
becomes settled, transplant into the open ground 3 feet apart each way. Good
culture is quite as important as good seed. Work the ground deep, make it rich
with well-rotted manure and hoe often.

onion in appearance and growing in clusters. They are
grown for the young leaves, which are produced freely from
early in the spring and give a mild onion flavor to sausage,
salads and various dishes.

LETTUCE

1 ounce to 2,500 plants; 3 pounds per acre.

Lettuce to be at its best should be grown rapidly, hence
the soil should be made as rich and friable as possible by
liberal manuring and thorough preparation. For early crop
sow in a seed-bed in September or October and protect
through the winter with cold frames, which should be re-
moved as soon as danger of severe freezing is past. Lettuce
in the open ground will stand some freezing but is killed by
prolonged frost or frequent freezing and thawing. The seed
may also be sown in hotbeds in March, and the plants, if
well hardened, may usually be set in the open ground in
April, maturing a crop much earlier than complete open
ground cultivation would produce. If, however, it is not
convenient to get the plants started either in the fall or
early spring in hotbeds, the seed may be sown in open ground
from the middle of April until July, selecting varieties suit-
able for the season.

The plants should stand 8 to 10 inches apart in the rows,
and the rows should be about 18 inches apart.
As a lettuce for greenhouse forcing

Grand Rapids this variety undoubtedly stands at

the head of the list, being of quick growth, hardy, little
liable to rot and remaining in condition several days after
being fit to cut. Forms a loose cluster of large, thin, bright
green leaves, savoyed, finely crimped at edges. Will stand
shipping long distances.

ONIONS

To grow large bulbs 1 ounce to 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 pounds to the acre.
To grow sets 10 ounces to 100 feet of drill; 50 pounds to the acre.

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 allowed 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.

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 8 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.

to Fusarium wilt. The vines are dark green
and medium heavy; pods single, dark green,
blunt ended, plump and well filled with seven
to eight deep green, semi-round peas of excel-
lent quality. In growth it very closely resem-
bles the Thomas Laxton, which is one of the
parents of the new hybrid, and it carries the
very excellent quality and hardiness of the
Thomas Laxton variety but is several days
earlier. Under normal crop conditions, the
vines range between 30 and 34 inches in
length, depending: upon the growing conditions
and come into picking condition between 57
and 60 days.

; This is one of the finest
Laxtonian dwarf early peas. The vines
grow 18 to 20 inches high and produce an enor-
mous crop of dark green pods as large as
Gradus, maturing a few days ahead of this
variety.

variety from which everyone may expect great things. Fit
for table use 61 days from planting. 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. The pods are square at

PEPPERS

1 oz. to 1,500 plants.

Peppers should be sown either indoors or in hotbeds early in April
and transplanted to the permanent beds when about 8 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.

; Plants grow about 2% feet high, and are vigorous;
Royal King compact 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 other large varieties. This
strain is extensively grown in the South by large shippers and deserves
the attention of every trucker and home gardener.

RADISHES

1 oz. for 100 feet of drill; 9 Ibs. per acre.

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.

From Specially Selected Transplanted Roots

A reselected strain so uniform in its maturity that each sowing
can be entirely gathered and bunched at one pulling, with prac-
tically no waste. This means more bunches per row, more time
saved in bunching, and the ground ready for the next crop a week
earlier. This equalized maturity also permits sowing this crop
between rows of beans, corn, etc., as a “catch crop.” This is the
market gardener’s favorite as a forcing Radish, very early; mild

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 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
attained full growth and begin to spread.

Spraying for insects and blight is very
necessary. Red River Potato Mix will give
very satisfactory results in controlling
insects and diseases.

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. Be
sure of your crop and plant only the best
Maine grown seed potatoes.

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

Second Early and Main Crop Varieties

Rutgers Developed under the direction of Prof. L. G.

Schermerhorn of the New Jersey Agr. Experi-

highly colored throughout and have a thick wall structure
with very small seed cavity. In comparison with Marglobe
they are slightly more flattened at the stem end and will
average much larger. Very prolific and desirable for can-
ning, market or the home garden. (Certified Stock.)

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. Moreover, the
plants shade the fruits well and thus protect them from
sun-scald.

Since our introduction of it in 1905

Maryland Pride it has been grown with great suc-

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.

° 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.

Neckless Purple Top Our superb strain of this

excellent variety has be-
come a favorite because of its hardy and productive nature.
The flesh is sweet and solid, excellent for table use or stock
feeding.

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.

Does best on well drained loam or elay soils. Seed should

be treated against smut and the harvested crop pro-
tected from weevil.

Does not yield as much hay as Red Top. Needs plenty of
moisture. Thrives only on acid soils.

Best results when seeded in mixtures as it requires about
3 years to establish a sod. Gives good early grazing,
languishes in late summer but dcaratica again in fall.

Darker blue than Kentucky Blue, produces running root-
stocks and forms dense sod. Leaves short. Best variety
for stiff clay soils or poor fertility.

Likes cool, moist climate, a poor land crop. Harvest
between time first seed fully formed and the time they
mature.

Drill or check-row in rows 3 to 4 ft. apart. Cultivate
shallow often enough to keep down . Harvest for
grain when kernels are well glazed and dented, shuck and
bottom leaves dry and upper leaves 4 to % green. For
ensilage harvest in early glaze stage, shucks yellow.
Better on wet, poor or acid soils than any other clover.
Inoculation helpful.

Best suited to coastal plain soils but not to wet soils.
Commonly sown at last working of corn or on small grain
stubble. If not making sufficient growth, supply nitrogen
fertilizer. Graze same if growth is too rank.

For hay, cut when just past full bloom stage and handle to
save as many leaves as possible. May be expected to
yield 1 to 3 tons per acre.

Grows well on poor soil (except sands) provided lime and
inoculation are supplied. Sow on grain in March or April
and harrow in or sow on frozen ground.

Use about 2 Ibs. per acre in pasture mixture.

Must be protected from weevil. Will grow on poor soils
but does best on sandy loam. Harvest for hay when most
of the pods are full grown and a few are ripe. Racks area
help in curing as it cures very slowly.

Withstands more shade than most grasses, especially
suited to sandy soils. Leaves bright green, creeps by
underground stems.

Adapted to practically all but sandy soils. Does as well as
any grass on wet soils. Harvest (Hay) as it comes Into
bloom. Yields of two tons per acre are not exceptional.

Will grow on any soil but does best on fertile loams. For
hay sow on fertile moist land. If seeding is done too late or
if ground is too hard for the freezing and thawing of the

ound to work the seed under the surface, the field should
ie lightly harrowed after seeding. If second growth is
allowed to go to seed, Korean will reseed itself.

LAWN MAKING AND MAINTENANCE

The very best time of the year to make a new lawn
is early in the fall because of ample rainfall, continued
cool weather and the winter killing of many weeds.
The second best season is very early spring (March
and April) because there is sufficient rainfall and cool
weather to start the young grass quickly. Spring
seeding however must compete with weed seeds in the
soil and is sometimes damaged by hot dry weather
before it is thoroughly established.

Preparing the Soil

Preparation of the soil is the most important part
of lawn making and should have the most careful
attention because no amount of effort spent after a
lawn is made can equal the results of thorough tillage
before the seed is sown.

A successful lawn requires at least 2 to 4 inches of
good quality top soil possessing the organic matter
and plant foods necessary for sturdy growth of the
grasses. However six inches or more of thoroughly
prepared finely pulverized and fertilized top soil would
be ideal.

If existing top soil is of fair quality and at least 2
to 4 inches deep it should not be necessary to spread
additional top soil. It is essential though to apply a
good lawn fertilizer which is high in phosphate (such
as bone meal or the chemical lawn foods) at the rate
of 2 to 4 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. In addition to this an
application of a one inch layer of humus or a two
inch layer of well rotted manure (it must be very well
rotted to be weed free) is necessary to supply sufficient
organic matter.

After spreading the plant food and humus materials
evenly, they must then be spaded into and mixed with
the top soil to a depth of about six inches depending on
the quality of the sub-soil and the depth of the top soil.
When this newly processed top soil is completely broken
up and thoroughly mixed it should be raked and rolled
in both directions until there are no uneven places. A
good seed bed has now been prepared and is ready
for seeding.

Sowing the Seed

Sow at the rate of 1 lb. to 200 sq. ft. broadcasting
half of the seed in one direction and the other half at
right angles. If the soil is dry the surface may be
raked very lightly covering seed not over %% in. and
being extremely careful to avoid “bunching” the seed.
Rolling is desirable but only practical if the soil is
sufficiently dry so that the seed does not stick to the
roller. Many successful lawns are made without raking
or rolling in the seed by depending upon the rain or
watering to pack the soil firmly about the seeds. If
watering is once begun however the soil must be kept
damp continuously or the seed may sprout and die
off before it has rooted. Clipping should begin when
the grass is about 3 inches high but should not be
cut closer than 2 inches.

Re-Seeding Old Lawns

Thin turf or lawns with bare spots can be rebuilt by
raking lightly so that the existing grass is not damaged
and then seeding as though making a new lawn. An-
other satisfactory method is to mix seed with top soil
or sow the seed and then cover lightly with top soil.

42 J. MANNS & CO., Baltimore, Md.

In either case the top soil should be free from weed
seeds. If the seed is sown early in March it can be
broadeast without raking or rolling because the ground
is “open” and the late heavy snows will carry it in.

Fertilizing

Timely and ample applications of fertilizers have
double advantages. Very early feeding whether Spring
or Fall forces growth of the grass during its most
natural growing seasons, thereby helping it to crowd
out crab-grass and more easily survive hot dry sum-
mer weather. A strong healthy turf also stands the
rigors of winter so much better. Fertilizer materials
are most accurately and easily applied by using a fer-
tilizer spreader. Most materials should be applied
when the grass is dry at the rate of 2 to 4 lbs. per 100
sq. ft. then watered in. Lawns that are thoroughly
established and are thriving should be fertilized once
every two years but average lawns require at least one
feeding a year.

Rolling

During the winter the alternate freezing and thaw-
ing have played “tug-o-war” with the little grass
plants in your lawn, heaving them out of the ground
so that they are only partly rooted. It is therefore
extremely necessary to roll your lawn after the frost
is out of the ground and while it is still wet but not
soggy. This smooths out uneven places caused by the
frost and puts the grass roots back where they can
quickly begin producing a luxuriant lawn.

Weed Control

One of the best weed controls is a good heavy turf,
well fertilized very early, cut not shorter than 2 inches
and kept seeded to grass so there will be practically no
space for weeds to grow. Crab-grass which is perhaps
the most difficult weed to combat should be killed by
chemicals during June or July. Another type of chem-
ical is available for clearing lawns of dandelions, plan-
tain and most other lawn weeds.

Soil pH

For most Maryland lawns the pH values (acidity or
alkalinity) should be between 6.0 and 7.5, that is rang-
ing between slightly acid to slightly alkaline, 7 being
neutral. The grasses which thrive best in this climate
succeed best in this pH range. If the soil is strongly
acid (pH 4.5 to 5.0) an application of 10 lbs. of ground
limestone per 100 sq. ft. will reduce the acidity to
approximately pH 6. Lime should not be used on lawns
unless an actual soil test indicates excessive acidity.

Moss

The presence of moss is often considered an indica-
tion of acid soil, but it is more often the result of low
fertility. During March apply nitrate of soda (1 lb.
per 100 sq. ft.) This will kill the moss but not injure
the grass. In about two weeks the dead moss may be
raked from the lawn and if there are bare spots they
should be reseeded at once.

ANNUAL FLOWER SEEDS

The ease of cultivation and the quickly effective results
obtained from Annuals make them indispensable, as they
are adaptable to an almost endless variety of arrangement.

Even in perennial borders, beds and rock gardens, annuals
are very essential to bridge the span between periods of
bloom of the perennials and to give desired color effects
which are possible only with annuals. Many varieties can
be started indoors early and transplanted giving continuous
bloom from early summer until frost. Some sorts are very
easily grown in late summer to produce plants for the sun-
parlor or conservatory where they will blossom during the
winter.

Annuals bloom more profusely than biennials or peren-
nials because it is not necessary for them to store up food
or build root systems for succeeding years; their business
being to produce flowers and seeds abundantly the first
year. For this reason it is advisable to cut the flowers
before going to seed so that the plants will continue to

SWEET PEAS

CALIFORNIA GROWN SUCCESSFUL EVERYWHERE

One Ounce for 50 feet of row.

,

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.—Grow named varieties of the colors you like
best; know them by name in your garden and you will de-
rive much more pleasure from them. 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 thor-
oughly 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 following have
been selected from hundreds of varieties, as being those
. of the highest quality in their respective classes.

Annual Flower Seeds

PERENNIAL FLOWER SEEDS

Perennials are used extensively in old fash-
ioned gardens, hardy borders and rock gardens.
They are easily grown and when once estab-
lished become increasingly beautiful year after
year. Care should be taken in selecting varieties
according to their color, height and season of
bloom.

The seeds may be sown indoors or in hot beds
early in the spring and transplanted to their
permanent locations when three or four inches
tall. Very satisfactory results can also be ob-
tained by sowing the seeds early in August and
shading from excessive heat by using lath or
burlap screens. It is well to give young plants
winter protection the first year.

which are most popular because of their beauty,

DAHLIAS

_Dahlias do well in almost any kind of soil, but thrive best
in a medium loam. The tubers should be planted in a hori-
zontal 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. Mulch with peat moss
and allow only one shoot to stand. A good plant food ap-
plied 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 peat moss in a cool, dry, dark
place, where frost will not reach them.

SOIL IMPROVEMENT

for therein lies the very foundation of your farming or gardening success.
If so, what elements are lacking?

Look to your Soil want food?

Does it need lime?’ How much lime?

Or, does

Accurate answers to these questions are worth many dollars to every grower because they often mean the difference

between a successful crop and a poor crop.

soil in relation to the chemical requirements of the crop you plan to grow.

The accompanying chart and tabulation of varieties show that most vegetables thrive best in a slightly acid soil.

Save money and increase your profits by knowing the possibilities of your

It is

very necessary however, to first know the pH (or degree of acidity) of your soil as determined by soil tests, before applying
acid or lime, rather than by guesswork. The desired amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash should also be deter-
mined as a matter of economy. Use a soil test kit and feed your soil the elements which are needed.

PLANT FOOD ELEMENTS

Plants require nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium (the three most important), oxygen, hydrogen and carbon (obtained
from air and water) and the minor elements usually found in the soil in sufficient quantity but also supplied in the better

brands of mixed fertilizers.
These minor elements are calcium, sulphur, magnesium,
manganese, iron and boron. Their functions are largely
indirect, but very essential as they aid the chemical changes
which render other ingredients more available. Calcium
(lime), for example, aids in making the nitrogenous materials
more quickly available and changes the physical nature of
soils. Sulphur seems to exert a beneficial influence on plant
growth and iron is pecessery in the formation Oe chisronnyil
°. is the “top growth” element needed for leafy
Nitrogen vegetables such as spinach, kale, parsley, etc.
Aside from mixed fertilizers, nitrogen can be had in various
organic forms as in bone meal, blood meal, tankage, fish
meal, cotton seed meal and inorganic forms such as nitrate
of soda (tending toward an alkaline reaction), ammonium
sulphate (tending toward an acid reaction), urea and
potassium nitrate. The organic materials are safest to use
as they react slowly and ds BOE Bae Bet :
is generally the most needed element, as
Phosphorus the continued use of manures possessing
such a little of it, combined with the fact that most crops
are heavy phosphorus feeders, soils worked for a number
of years are practically depleted of this element. A real
fertile soil is rich in readily available phosphorus. It is
the element which promotes growth and vigor, flowers, fruit
and seeds. Beans, corn, cucumber, tomatoes, turnips and
rutabagas seem to respond to heavy feedings of phosphorus.
It is available in mixed fertilizers, superphosphate, bone
meal and tankage.
P t h is the root growing element. Asparagus, beets,
ovas. carrots, celery, cucumbers, lettuce, potatoes and
radish all respond to extra potash feeding. Sulphate of
potash is best for tobacco, lettuce and leaf crops, while
muriate of potash is most beneficial to carrots, potatoes and
root crops.

are needed
