“Where Market Gardeners Buy Superior Seeds’’

SPECIAL VARIETIES OF MERIT

QO: general stocks are unexcelled in quality and better seeds cannot be pur-

chased at any price.

The following recently improved strains however, are

worthy of special consideration and should be grown by every progressiv-

market gardener.

BORECOLE

MANNS’ SUPERIOR EXTRA CURLED GREEN
SCOTCH. The leaves of this variety are very much
more curled than the Dwarf-Green Scotch, and many
more bushels per acre can be cut due to the extremely
vigorous growth, which is characteristic of this variety.
Nearly as hardy as Hardy Winter, and very popular
with many of our customers. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 20c;
V4 Ib., 60c; Ib., $2.00.

CABBAGE
GOLDEN ACRE. This new extra early variety ma-
tures earlier than Jersey Wakefield. It forms a large
round solid head resembling Copenhagen Market;
very uniform, and compact, having few outer leaves
which permits close planting. Being of excellent
quality and extremely early, Golden Acre commands
very high prices. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 50c; 14 Ib., $1.75;

Ib., $6.00
CANTALOUPE

IMPERIAL. Thousands of acres of this vigorous
and prolific variety are grown annually in the Im-
perial Valley of California for shipment to eastern
markets, and being the very earliest of all high qual-
ity shipping melons, it should be grown extensively
in} Maryland and Virginia. The fruits average 7 in.
Jong and 5 in. in diameter, are well netted and ribbed,
and have very thick, salmon-tinted, fine grain flesh,
which ripens clear to the rind. Its good, sweet flavor
makes it equally desirable for the home garden.
Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 14 Ib. 60c; Ib. $2.00.

CORN

PORTLAND 60-DAY. Extremely early market
gardener’s variety, producing ears 6 to 7 in. long,
having 12 to 14 rows of pure white grains. Dwarf

growth. The first large eared sweet corn in the market-
Pt. 30c; qt. 50c; pk. $3.00; bu. $10.00.

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 nar-
row deep grains. The quality ts excellent and the attrac-
tive appearance of the rich, tender, well-filled ears
make it a very desirable sort for the Market Gardener.
Qt., 40c; pk., $2.50; bu., $8.00.

CUCUMBER
LONG FELLOW OR STRAIGHT PACK. This
new variety was developed primarily for greenhouse
culture; its quality, size and attractive appearance
however, have definitely established it as one of the
best for outdoor production. The beautiful: dark
green cucumbers average 12-inches in Iength and are
adaptable for packing in flats for the very highest
classtrade. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 20c; 14 lb., 60c; 1b., $2.00.

PEPPER
CALIFORNIA WONDER. Its large, smooth, ex-
tremely heavy, very mild, thick flesh make this var-
iety truly a wonder. Combining the excellent quality
of the Pimento and the size of Crimson Giant, Cal-
ifornia Wonder is being grown for all purposes. Plants
are sturdy, productive and slightly spreading, bear-
ing five to nine large glossy fruits to a setting, aver-
aging one-half pound each. Deserves the attention of
every pepper grower. Pkt. 25c; oz. $1.25; 14 Ib.

$4.00; Ib. $15.00.
SPINACH

Improved strains, grown in Holland by the originators
of these strains; extensively imitated by other Holland
growers, but universally recognized as the most
superior types ever produced. See pages 30 and 31.

SQUASH

EARLY BUSH WHITE (Green Tinted). Preferred
by many market gardeners by reason of true decided
light green color, even when fully matured. Pkt., 10c;
oz., 20c; 14 Ib., 50c; Ib., $1.50.

RADISHES

MANNS’ SELECTED SCARLET GLOBE. This is
the market gardener’s favorite as a forcing radish,
very early; mild and crisp, juicy and tender; top small,
will stand heat without becoming pithy. One of the
best selling and most attractive radishes on account of
its bright scarlt color and handsome shape. Our stock
of this is the very best, selected with special care as to
size, shape, color and earliness, and market gardeners
will find it a money maker, as it is just right in every
respect. Pkt., 10c; 14 lb., 25c; Ib., 75c; 10 Ibs.,
$7.00; 25 Ibs., $15.00.

TOMATOES

EARLY CANADIAN. Developed in Ontario, Canada,
for adaptability to their very short growing season,
and regarded as the earliest tomato in cultivation.
Perfectly shaped and well colored. A very profitable
variety for market gardeners. Pkt., 25c; oz., $1.00;
14 Ib., $3.00; Ib., $10.00.

IMPROVED ADVANCE. An extra early, large
tomato of high quality, round or slightly flattened
shape, and exceptionally smooth for such an early
variety. It will stand superior in appearance and
quality, In competition with the other extra earlies
and command the fancy prices of an early market.
Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; 14 Ib. $1.50; Ib. $5.00.

MANNS’ SPECIAL STRAIN BONNY BEST. Our
special strain of Bonny Best has become a favorite
among large growers for the early market. It is truly
so superior to the ordinary stocks that it might right-
fully be considered a new variety. It is earlier than
Chalk’s Early Jewel, and within two or three days as
early as Earliana. Very prolific, Pkt., 10c; 0z., 40c;
V4 Ib., $1.25; Ib., $4.00.
MARGLOBE, This new introduction by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture is without doubt the most
wonderful development ever offered tomato growers.
Marglobe has been developed primarily to resist
wilt. In addition to this extremely valuble 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 can-
ning purposes, and is worthy of careful consideration
of every tomato grower. O2z., 50c.; 14 Ib., $1.50;
Ib., $5.00.
MANNS’ IMPROVED STONE. . A favorite with
canners and market gardeners, because of its heavy
yields, excellent quality, and beautiful appearance.
Very much superior to regular strains of New Stone,
and the most desirable of all main crop varieties.
Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 14 Ib. 75c; Ib. $2.50.

Please Note: WILTPROOF varieties have been
entirely superseded by Marglobe, which the U. S.
Department of Agriculture has found to be far super-
ior to any other wilt resistant sort.

SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS

Selected from improved strains having true commercial merit, offered at lowest possible prices
consistent with highest quality. FOR MARKET GARDENERS and other
judicious and careful growers who sow the best.

ASPARAGUS

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

| Asparagus grows easily in almost any good soil, but best results are
| obtained in well-enriched, deeply dug, sandy loam. It may be grown
from seed, but much time is saved by planting roots,

If you wish to grow plants from the seed yourself, sow in spring in drills
about eighteen inches apart and two inches deep in light, rich soil, plant-
| ing fifteen to twenty seeds to each foot of row. When the plants are

well up, thin to about one inch apart and give frequent and thorough
cultivation during the summer, If this has been well done, the plants
| will be fit to set the next spring.
|}

The permanent bed should be prepared by deep plowing or spading
and thoroughly enriching the ground with stable manure or other fer-
tilizer; a moist, sandy soil is best. Set the plants about four inches deep
and one to two feet apart in rows four to six feet apart. After the
plants are well started, give frequent and thorough cultivation. Early
the next spring spade in a heavy dressing of manure and about one
quart of salt and double the quantity of fresh wood ashes to each square

| rod and cultivate well as long as the size of plants will permit, or until
they begin to die down. The next season the bed may be cut over two
| or three times, but if this is done, all the shoots, no matter how small,
| should be cut. After the final cutting. give a good dressing of manure,
| ashes and salt. Cultivate frequently until the plants meet inthe rows.

In autumn after the tops are fully ripe and yellow, they should be cut
' and burned. A bed fifteen by fifty feet, requiring about one hundred
plants, if well cultivated and manured, should give the following season
an abundant supply for an ordinary family and continue productive for
eight or ten years.

Famous French variety noted for its earli-

Giant Argenteuil ness and size. It resists rust better than

som2 domestic sorts and is also very prolific, producing an abundance of
light green, tender shoots. Pkt., 10c; 14 Ib., 20c; Ib., 60c.

This is one of the most popular varieties grown for gen-
Palmetto eral garden purposes, being early, prolific and very uni-
form. Shoots are light green but frequently deep green when allowed
to grow above ground. Pkt., 10;c 14 Ib., 20c; Ib., 60c.

equally resistant to disease. It is larger and earlier and produces remark-

ably tender dark green stalks with very compact purplish green tips.

BUSH BEANS

1 pint to 100 feet of drill; 1 to 1 14 bushels per acre.

Beans are tender and should not be planted until the soil is well warmed. Sow-
ing too early will often result in a poor stand and uneven ripening. Sow the seed
1 4% 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.

Aids in Prevention of Bean Spot

Bean Spot or Anthracnose is a disease caused by the fungus col-
letotrichum 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 con-
siderably 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 ro-
tation, 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 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 bear-
ing season is longer and they are more easily gathered. They succeed best in 2 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 toa pole. By plecag the seed
eyes down they will gerininate more quickly and for this reason are less liable to rot. Culti-
vate frequently but shallow.

This variety was introduced in 1922 and has rapidly gained favor be-
Sunnybrook cause of its extreme earliness and abundance of medium sized, well
filled pods of deep green color, having four and often five large thick, meaty, light green beans
of the finest quality. The vines are of most vigorous growth and produce pods which are
ready for picking earlier than any other large seeded pole lima. Qt. 60c; Pk., $3.25; bu., $12.00

D 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 spaced over the entire vine. They are
well filled with large fleshy beans of excellent quality, delicate pale green in color. Qt., 60c;
pk., $3.00; bu., $11.00.

D ° A very desirable pole lima for the home and market garden, producing
Carpinteria an abundance of large four-seeded medium green pods. The color is
distinctive in having a decided greenish tint, an indication of very finest quality. The beans
are thin skinned, delicious flavor and retain the distinctly green tinge even when dried. Qt.,
60c; pk., $3.00; bu., $11.00.

Id 1 One of the largest and most valuable of the medium late varieties, producing a

excellent quality. Seed large, ovid, flat white with slight greenish tinge. Splendid for market
gardeners. Qt., 65c; pk., $3.25; bu., $12.00.

King of the Garden are strong and vigorous; setting pods early and continu-
ing to bear until frost. Is used ex tensively by market

CABBAGE

1 oz. for 2,000 plants; 14 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 plantings later of course according to variety
and time crop is wanted. The earliest sorts should be set out in
rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches apart in the rows.

If it is not especially desired to have very early cabbage the
seed may be sown in open ground and transplanted after 4 weeks.
For second early crops sow in April and transplant in May; these
will mature in July and August. The later varieties should be
planted in May and transplanted in July to rows 3 ft. apart and
2 feet apart in the rows; these will mature from September to
November.

Cabbages should be hoed every week and the ground thoroughly
stirred as they advance in growth, drawing a little earth to the
plants each time until they begin to head, when they should be
thoroughly cultivated and left to mature.

more closely resembles lettuce. It is a delicious vegetable served

CAULIFLOWER

1 ounce to 2,000 plants.

This delicious and very profitable vegetable is not as exten-
sively grown as it should be because many gardeners have an
erroneous opinion that cauliflower is difficult to grow. Anyone
will be reasonably sure of success if the following suggestions
are followed:

For an early crop sow the seed either indoors or in a hot-
bed in January or February, transplanting them to 2 or 3
inches apart thus allowing the plants to put forth a vigorous
growth before being set in the permanent rows.

As soon as danger of freezing is over, set the plants in the
open ground in rows 24 to 3 feet apart and 18 inches apart in
the row. The soil for Cauliflower should be like that for cab-
bage, but it is better if an additional quantity of manure is
used so that the ground is very rich. Cultivate often and
thoroughly. For fall crop sow the seeds during April or May.
It is well to plan so that the early crop heads before very hot
weather and the late crop matures after hot weather.

Plenty of moisture is needed at all stages of growth but is
especially necessary when the plants are heading. At this
time the leaves should be loosely tied over the heads as a
protection from the sun. Cauliflower is highly esteemed for
its mild, delicate flavor and always commands a favorable

price in the markets.
The best early variety in cultivation.
Early Snowball If planted March lst, large heads
will be produced early in June, and scarcely a single plant will
fail to form a head. Its compact habit renders it a very profit-

for winter use and are ex-
cellent for flavoring. Sow
seed and cultivate same as
celery, with the exception
that it is not necessary to
blanch the plants. When
the roots attain a diameter
of two inches they are fit for
use. To keep these through
the winter, pack in damp
earth or sand and store
them in a cellar or leave
them out of doors, covering
with earth and straw for
protection.

Our stock is grown from choice selected and trans-
planted roots only, and are of the truest type and richest
color money can procure.

CULTURE:—Any good soil will grow this vegetable, but
the most perfect roots however, are developed in rich, friable
soil, preferably sandy loam. The flavor and tenderness of
the table varieties is secured by having a quick growth, which
usually means good growing weather and proper cultivation.
Sow as early as the ground can be worked or for late crop until
the latter part of July, in drills 15 to 18 inches apart, finally
thinning the plants to 3 to 4 inches in the drills. The seed is
slow to germinate and if sown early or on moist soil, half an
inch is deep enough. When sown during the hot summer
months it is well to protect the seed bed with a thin layer of
chips or straw as excessive heat will kill the vitality of the
seeds before they germinate. After the seed has sprouted
remove the covering, selecting the late afternoon for this
work. Carrots are usually quite free from pests and diseases.
The usual danger from ground worms and slugs if 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,

CELERY

1 ounce to 1,000 plants.

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 &rst of August. In
some sections best results are obtained by transplanting in June.

The permanent beds should be thoroughly prepared and well
enriched with rotted manure, which should be spaded in deeply,
the rows being spaced 3 to 4 feet apart. Cut off some of the root
and set the plants 8 to 12 inches apart in the rows, firming the soil
tightly, and cultivate them frequently for a period of six weeks.
Celery needs plenty of moisture.

When the plants are nearly full grown they should be blanched -
This is done by drawing the soil closely about the plants to about
two-thirds of their height, being careful not to allow any of the
earth to fall between the leaves. Repeat this process every few
days until only the top of the leaves are visible. Do not disturb
the plants while they are wet or the soil is damp as this is liable
to result in injury from rust.

Golden Plume This new strain of Golden Self-Blanch-

ing has been pronounced by authorities
to be the best of all the early varieties. 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.
Combining the assets of earliness, finest qulaity and appearance
Golden Plume offers a splendid opportunity to Market Gardeners.
Celery Growers in New York and New Jersey have met with tre-
mendous success using this variety. Pkt., 25c; 4 oz., 35e.:

some appearance. The leaves are light, bright green and the flesh
is a beautiful silvery-white color. Not as good a keeper as French

French Golden Yellow Self-Blanching

(Originator’s Stock). This is the standard celery for early use,
being ready for use very early, and much superior to other varie-
ties in a great many respects. Our strain of this very popular sort
cannot be excelled in quality or appearance. The plants are of
medium size, compact and stocky, with yellowish green foliage.
As they r ature the inner leaves and stems turn to a beautiful golden
yellow, which adds much to their appearance and makes the work
of blanching much easier. The stalks are solid, crisp, tender, free
from strings and of a fine nutty flavor. A favorite with both large

LETTUCE

1 ounce to 2,500 plants; 3 lbs. 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 removed as soon as
danger of severe freezing is past. Lettuce ip 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 va-
rieties suitable for the season.

The plants should stand 8 to 10 inches apart in the rows, and
the rows should be about 18 inches apart.

Big Boston during the winter months, as it produces
heads of very large size, often 12 inches or more across, and succeeds
better in cooler temperature than most forcing strains. The large

To grow large bulbs 1 oz. to 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 Ibs. to the acre.
To grow sets 10 ozs. to 100 feet of drill; 50 lbs. 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 al-
lowed to remain pretty thick, no matter if they crowd each other. In
hoeing, destroy weeds and keep the ground mellow; do not cover the young
bulbs with earth. It is useless to try to grow onions on poor, unsuitable
soil. Three days neglect when the weeds are growing rapidly will some-
times ruin a crop, and a week too late in sowing makes the difference
between a good and a bad harvest. With proper manuring, onions can
be grown on the same land for a score of years, and it will become cleaner
and better every year.

PARSNIPS

1 oz. to 150 feet of drill.

Parsnips are well known as a delicious table vegetable, but their
value for the purpose of feeding cattle and stock is but little ap-
preciated. The parsnip is rich in saccharine food, which adds
greatly to the richness of the milk when fed to cows, while the
fresh, succulent roots increase the flow of milk as greatly as does
the use of fresh, green food in the spring. It is especially valuable
for the purpose from its extreme hardiness, as the roots can be
left in the ground all winter and improve ip quality by the con-
tinued freezing.

Sow as early in the spring as the weather will permit, in drills
15 inches apart and half an inch Gee 1 in rich, well-manured ground,

well dug. Cultivate similar to Carrots, and thin out to 6 inches
apart in the rows. To keep well in the ground over winter, draw
a little earth over the tops.

Peas grow best on a light, rich, mellow soil under cool and moist weather conditions.
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 j
can be made ready, while the larger wrinkled varieties, which are not as hardy but |
of superior quality, may be planted when the soil has become slightly warmed, as the
seed will rot 1f planted too early. j

For private use, sow the seed in double rows, 18 inches apart and 3 inches apart in |
the row; for market, in single rows 2 to 3 feet apart and 1 inch apart in the rows. i
The peas will give quicker returns if covered only one inch deep, and where earliness
is most important they may be treated this way. Larger pods and greate. quantity
will be produced it the seed is planted in trenches three to six inches deep and covered
with only one to two inches of soil. When the plants are five or six inches high, fill |
the trench level with the surface. This will result in deep rooting, prevent mildew
and prolong the bearing season. If the peas are covered to the full depth at first, or
if water is allowed to stand in the trenches the seed will not germinate or grow well. |
The crop should be gathered as fast as it becomes fit for use, as even a few ripe pods |
left on the vines tend to retard the development of the young pods and prevent the }
formation of new ones.

sandy loam which contains a quantity of well rotted vegetable matter. 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
oppositefdirection. If the ground you intend to use has produced a scabby crop previously or the seed shows any trace of disease, the

pieces should be soaked in a for-

tive.

For a very early crop, run off
furrows about three feet apart and
about four inches deep. Drop the
pieces about 15 inches apart in the
turrows and cover to a depth of
about 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 fer-
tilizer is used, apply it either in the
row or broadcast before planting
and be sure that it is thoroughly
mixed with the soil so that the seed
is not burned. Fresh stable ma-
nure will cause the potatoes to
become scabby.

Just before the sprouts have ap-
peared 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 at-
tained full growth and begin to
spread.

Spraying for insects and blight
is very necessary, Pyrox, Bug
Death, etc., giving very satisfactory
results,

The size and quality of the crop
and the ability to resist disease is
directly dependent upon the seed

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

Light, sandy soil, rich in organic matter is essential to pro-
duce 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, covering the seed half an inch deep. When the plants
are well started, thin out to one inch apart in the drills. Fre-

“TI am pleased to tell you that your Reselected
and New Early Long Standing varieties of Savoy
Spinach Seed surpass all other strains that I have
ever grown. Crops produced have been found to
command the very highest market price.’’

W. P. Kofskey, Dundalk, Md.

Manns’ Reselected Bloomsdale Savoy

This new strain has been developed in response to the urgent
demand on the part of large spinach growers for an improvement
in the quality of the regular commercial Bloomsdale grown in Hulland.

The crops produced from it are so far superior in quality to the
regular commercial stocks of Bloomsdale Savoy, chat 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. Mann’s Reselec-
ted 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. Lb., 25c;
10 Ibs., $2.00; 25 lbs., $4.50; 100 Ibs., $16.00.

SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS

SPINACH

1 oz. to 100 ft. of drill; 12 to 15
Ibs. per acre.

One of the most staple vege-
tables of the American table,
possessing highly valuable and
health giving qualities; easily
grown, requiring but little atten-
tion and in sections 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 al; the plants to
stand.

For winter and early spring
use, sow either in drills or broad-
cast during August, September
and October. A top dressing of
Nitrate of Soda will make a vast
improvement in the earliness,
size and quality of the crop.

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 Virginia Blight
Rane stock. Lb., 35c; 10 Ibs., $2.75; 25 Ibs., $6.00; 100 lbs

Just as early as regular and reselected sa-

Savoy voy but has the very valuable advantage

of standing in perfect cond.tion, without bolting to

seed, 10 to 14 days longer than these 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. Last season many of
| our customers doubled their receipts from the crops,
| by simply waiting ten days for a higher market.
Early Long Standing holds up exceedingly well for
shipping as it isof good heavy substance. The leaves

It is earlier than Chalk’s Early Jewel, and within two or three
days as early as Earliana. Very prolific, 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 setting of fruit nearly all at once, and
ripens evenly all over up to the stem. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c;

TOMATO—Continued

This new introduction by the U. S.
Marglobe Department of Agriculture is with-
out doubt the most wonderful development ever offered
tomato growers. We quote the following desciption
given us by Dr. Fred J. Prichard, of the Bureau of
Plant Industry, U. S. Department 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 de-
lightful 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.

The Marglobe i is giving excellent results in both the
shipping and canning regions and gives much promise
of wide use within the next few years. In fact, after
one season’s tests in southeast Florida approximately
1,000 cars were shipped the following winter. With
the exception of a few fields for a first early crop, Mar-
globe will be grown almost exclusively in this region
the present winter. Marglobe is giving excellentresults
in shipping and canning regions throughout the east
and middle west.”

Marglobe has been developed primarily to resist

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

TURNIP

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 commerical fertilizers instead of manure and
the application of Mag-o-tite or other carbolic acid emulsion.

MANNS’ SUPERIOR

Our constant aim is to supply our customers with/[the very best
domestic and imported strains obtainable. We spare no expense
in our efforts to maintain the highest standard of quality. Our
list contains those varieties which are most popular because of
their beauty, usefulness, and ease of cultivation.

Annuals are those which attain full growth, bloom and die the
same year, and are raised from seed exclusively.

FLOWER SEEDS

Biennials attain full growth, bloom and die the second year
from the planting of seed.

Perennials produce plants the first year, which with a few ex-
ceptions do not flower until the second year from planting of seed,
after which they bloom every year and last several years.

The class to which each variety belongs is indicated as follows:
(A) for Annuals; (B) for Biennials; (P) for Perennials.

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.

THE GRANDIFLORA type, owing to its vigor of growth,
its freedom of bloom and extremely wide range of colors is
well suited for mest conditions and locations.

CULTURE.—Early in the spring make a trench three to
four inches deep in rich, mellow soil, so arranged that no
water can stand in it and plant the seed in the bottom, covering
at first only one inch deep. When the plants are two inches
high, cultivate; and as they grow, gradually fill in the trench.
When the plants are about five inches high they should be
supported by poultry netting, strings or brush. Water should
be applied thoroughly once or twice a week early in the morning
or in the evening. The blooms should be picked before they
form pods or the plants will soon stop flowering. The follow-=
ing have been selected from hundreds of varieties, as being
those of the highest quality in their respective classes.

BULBS AND ROOTS

Various Dahlia Types

Prices quoted are for strong tubers and well rooted
sturdy plants from 2-in. pots. Many growers, have found
plants preferable to tubers, and we offer plants for delivery
after May Ist and until June 15th.

The following varieties of dahlias are selected for beauty, util-
ity and free flowering qualities. We ofler a wide range of colors
and shades in each of the important types and can confidently
recommend them for the ornamental garden and for cut flowers.
The tubers are taken from healthy, vigorous field-grown clumps;
are in first-class condition and with proper attention are sure to
bloom and give entire satisfaction.

Dahlias do well in almost any kind of soil, but thrive best in a
medium loam. The tubers should be planted in a horizontal
position, with the sprout up and about four inches below the sur-
face; they should be set three or four feet apart each way, in deep-
ly spaded soil. A good plant food applied just as the buds start
to form will increase the size and improve the color of the blooms.
If large exhibition blossoms are desired, it is absolutely necessary
to disbud. After the frost has killed the flowers, the roots should
be removed from the ground, allowed to dry for two or three
days, and then stored away in a cool, dry, dark place, where
frost will not reach them.

MISCELLANEOUS FIELD SEEDS

SUDAN GRASS

CLOVERS

MEDIUM or COMMON RED. (Trifolium pratense). The
Clover Seed of Commerce, and the most important and valuable
of the Clover family for agricultural purposes. Sow 15 lbs. per
acre. (Bushel 60 lbs.)

ALSIKE or HYBRID. (Swedish). (Trifolium hybridum).
Hardiest of all Clovers: perennial. On rich, moist soils it yields
large quantities of hay or pasturage, as it forms a thick bottom;
Has fibrous roots like White Clover. Esteemed highly by bee
eepers.

MAMMOTH CLOVER. (Trifolium pratense perenne). Valu-
able with other grasses for mixed hay; ripens about with Timothy.
Being a rank grower, it is largely used for plowing under as a
ertilizer.

WHITE DUTCH. (Trifolium repens). Grows naturally in
Pastures in a great variety of soils and situations; indispensable
in parks and lawns.

CRIMSON CLOVER. (Trifolium incarnatum). Being an an-
nual, it must be sown in July, August, and September of each
year, and, the spring following, can be cut for soiling by April
20th; for ensilage, May lst 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 Ibs.)

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
sotl 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 Ibs.)

BOAKHARA or WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER. (Meli-
lotus alba). This slightly resembles Alfalfa in growth, but is much
taller, with leafier and stiffer stems. It frequently grows 5 to 6
feet in height and branches freely, with slender spikes of small,
fragrant, white flowers, which afford an excellent food for bees.
(Bushel 60 lbs.)

JAPAN CLOVER. This makes most uutritious and desirable
summer pasture. Grows well and spreads rapidly on poor lands,
hillside and under the shade of trees. (Bushel 25 lbs.)

CYCLONE Seed Sower

Has a national reputation as absolutely the
best hand sower on the market.

Price—$2.25 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 Ibs. per acre, 1 to 144 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 bythe Government as being very
nutritious and easily digestible. Being an annual, this must
be seeded every year and therefore never becomes a pest.

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 {mproved. From five to nine tons of
green fodder per acre have been produced. For ensliage they
are unsurpassed. When it is desired to turn the whole crop under,
as a soil improver, it is better to do so after the vines are partly
dead. Cow Peas can be sown in May or June, at the rate of one
and a half bushels per acre.

BLACK. Quick to mature, adapted for late planting in Northern
sections; vigorous grower and great yielder.

BLACK EYE. A prolific vine-growing variety of merit, seed
often sold for table use.

WHIPPOORWILL. A favorite early bunch-growing variety.
A prime favorite in the North and West on account ofits early
maturity and habit of growth.

SOY or SOJA BEANS

A Great Drought-Resisting Forage Crop, Producing Im-
mense Quantities of Nutritious Food, Beside Being
an Excellent Soil Improver.

The Soy Bean is coming right to the front ag 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 ts certainly one of the very best
plants, next to Cow Peas.

SAND or WINTER VETCH

Sometimes cailed Hairy Vetch. The most valuable of all Vet-
ches. It succeeds on nearly all soils and 1s especially recommended
for poor lands, where it thrives and improve: the soil wonderfully,
as it is very rich in nitrogen. It belongs to the pea family, but the
vines are more leafy and longer. It may be sown in the spring or
in the fall, preferably with rye. It remains green all winter and
is valuable for early pasturing, as well as a fertilizer. 60 pounds
per acre.

CANADA FIELD PEAS

Sown in open weather during December, January, February
and March, making large yields ot most nutritious food, which
can be used either green or cured for hay. It also makes a good
green manuring crop to turn under, but not equal to Cow Peas.
A light seeding of oats, rye or barley will increase the yield and
help to support the vines when the crop comes to maturity. Ready
for cutting in May and June, cures easily and makes splendid

splendid food for poultry, fed either in the grain or ground and
cooked. Excellent forage. Cultivate same as common corn, re-
quiring four or five pounds per acre.

DWARF ESSEX RAPE

This plant is extensively grown for forage, especially for sheep.
and for green manure. Prepare the ground as for turnips and
sow in June or July in rows two and a half feet apart at the rate
of two and a half pounds of seed per acre.

SORGHUM or CANE

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.
JAPANESE. This variety yields very largely. The kernels

are larger than other sorts, but owing to its branching qualities
it need not be sown co thickly.

SILVER HULL. A superior variety in every way to the ordinary
Buckwheat which it has almost entirely superseded.

PURE PARA-DICHLOROBENZENE
For Peach Borer Control.

Very powerful and effective remedy just
coming into general use as a result of the
experiments of the Department of Ento-
mology. Should be applied September Ist
to October 10th, according to latitude.
Some growers prefer to make two applica-
tions, the first being in the month of Juhe.
One pound is sufficient for 10 to 80 trees,
according to size. i{t is not advisable to
treat trees under 4 years of age with Para-
Dichlorobenzene, and apple trees should
never be treated.

Remove all grass, weeds and rubbish from
around the tree, make a smooth, bare sur-
face and about sixteen inches wide around
the tree at the soil level.

Remove any gummy exudation ahering
to the crown or collar of the tree.

After the ground is prepared, distribute
the crystals of Para-Dichlorobenzene even-
ly in a narrow circular band around the
tree, keeping the inner edge of the band at
least two inches away from the bark of the
tree.

After the crystals are placed on the soil
around the tree cover them with earth, at
first lightly so as not to disturb the chemi-
cal, and complete .by nionuding the earth
against the trunk of the tree until a cone
shaped mass of dirt four or five inches deep
has been made, tamping the dirt down with
the back of the shovel.

Use one ounce to a tree 6 years old or
older; in case of very large tree, 144 ounces
may be needed to form a satisfactory band.
On trees four or five years old, use 4% to 3%
ounces to a tree.

PLANT BANDS

The simplest way to handle plants for
transplanting is to grow themin our Ready-
to-Use Plant Bands, because they are
ready to use and no time is lost in setting
them up. You will find these bands very
economical. When transplanting the old
way, roots are exposed to air and with the
result that the plants are seriously set
back. With plant bands it is even possible
to transplant corn and cucumbers. Plants
started in these bands and set in the field
never know they have been moved. Pro-
long your growing period by getting an
earlier start. Plants mature by this method
from two to four weeks ahead of those
grown by any other method

EMERSON-BRANTINGHAM DISK HARROWS.

For Horse and Tractor Power.

If you are farming to make money, you cannot ignore the ad-
vantages and the economy of labor-saving machinery, and the
farmer who labors along without the good implements that modern
conditions demand, pays a higher price in the end.

The E-B Tandem Disk Harrow enables you to do more work
in shorter time and with less man labor. With one of these double
action machines one man can do the work of two men with single
disks in the same length of time and the work will be done better.
Besides it may be equipped witb either a horse or tractor hitch,
which is an advantage when both kinds of power are available.
If desired, the rear section may be detached and the front section
used alone as a horse or tractor-drawn single disk harrow. Many
of our customers operating Fordson Tractors now have these
harrows in use and are highly pleased with them. Quality and
usefulness are built in. Let us send you illustrated literature and
prices

EMERSON-BRANTINGHAM STANDARD MOWER

E-B Standard 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 distribu:ion of the weight, greatly increases the traction
power of the machine, overcomes side draft and weight on the
horses’ necks, giving it a powerful cutting capacity which enables
it to cut through the heavie t gra‘s without materially increasing
the draft. The gear and driving 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. his mower
has many other points of superiority and we would be pleased to
give you full information. Prices on request.

McWHORTER FERTILIZER DISTRIBUTORS

McWhorter Fertlizer Distributors have been used for many
years with great success and have features not to be found on any
other ferilizer 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 fertilizer 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 elimi-
nating waste of material on windy days, and making the loading
much easier.

No. 21i—Hand Fertilizer Distributor—Capacity 80 lbs.; width

DON T BREAK THE CHAIN. OF

CONMKECTS

THE ORIGINAL

BUTTERMILK FEEDS
Conkegs Buttermilk Starting Feed

This superior chick mash was the first commer-
cial poultry feed containing buttermilk; that is
why we call it the only original buttermilk
starting feed.

Conkey’s carries buttermilk in just the right
proportion as an aid in prevention of bowel
troubles, white Diarrhoea, “‘leg weakness,’’ etc.
. The butter milk is semi-solid buttermilk, blended
with the other ingredients by the original pro-
cess in such a way as to preserve the appetizing,
tonic, and other properties of the newly-churned
product. Buttermilk is also rich in one of the
vitamines necessary to growing birds. It is a

wonderful appetizer, aid to digestion, and flesh
builder.

FEED IT FIRST 8 WEEKS.

Conkey’s is all the chicks need the first eight weeks, except greens,
charcoal, grit, clean water and some fine scratch grains in the
litter for exercise. Give grit and water from the start. Durng
the second week add green stuff and in the fourth week finely
cracked grains, like Conkey’s Chick Grains. Prices 2} lbs. 20c.;
5 Ibs. 35c; 10 Ibs. 60c; 25 Ibs. $1.25; 100 Ibs. $4.75.
Conkeys Buttermilk Growing Mash

This mash is fed after the chicks are eight =
weeks old. It is balanced for rapid and even
development of muscles, bone, vital organs and
feathers. Like all Conkey mashes it is low in
fibre, clean and always uniform.

The Growing Mash differs materially from
the Starting Feed—meat scraps are added,
bone is increased, and corn decreased—growing
birds demand a,heavier diet than delicate baby
chicks. Prices. 10 Ibs. 50c; 25 Ibs. $1.15; 50
Ibs. $2.25; 100 Ibs. $4.00.

Conky Buttermilk eee Meer
To produce eggs abundantly, the flock mus
have a good scratch grain mixture, a regula;
supply of green feed, plenty of water, and a good
Dry Mash. One or two of these items will not
be sufficient to permit the hens to do their best;
all four feeds are absolutely necessary and ex.
perienced poultrymen have learned this from
experience. Our laying mash is very low in
fibre and just right in protein for layers; it is
uniform in quality and always dependable.
Prices, 10 Ibs. 50c; 25 Ibs. $1.10; 50 Ibs. $2.10;
100 Ibs. $3.90. |
Conkegs Chick Grains

ual balanced, clean, fresh, nutritious feed. Price, per 100 Ibs.

Conkeys Growing Grains

The very necessary small scratch feed for the proper develop-
ment of young fowls. Price, per 100 Ibs. $3.45.

Conkeys Scratch Grains

Wholesome, clean grains, correctly mixed to give a well-bal-
anced ration. Contains no grit and no cob. In mixing this feed
we have made quality the first consideration but believe that our
price is attractive as well. We shall be pleased to mail sample.
Price, per 100 Ibs. $2.90 (Conkey’s Gecco Scratch $2.75).

YEAST WITH cop Pie, OIL

We Osis smooth brown powder in which Marmite yeast and
cod liver oil is combined—by a special sealing process—in a highly
concentrated form, whereby vitamins A, B, and D retain their po-

tency over a long period of time. Y- Oi is Nature’s own storehouse
of Vitamins A, B, and D, plus man’s ingenuity in concentrating
their numbers "and prolonging their effectiveness.

A small amount of Y-O introduced in the mash supplies Baby
Chicks with an abundance of vitamins. Result: chicks make
amazingly rapid growth, have NO LEG WEAKNESS and prac-
tically NONE die.

Feed the growing stock Y-O. Then their rapid development,
their blood-red combs, yellow legs, lustrous plumage and alert
bearing will amaze and delight you. You will experience the “big
thrill” that always comes when the whole flock of pullets snap into a
lay almost simultaneously and, like a great factory, throb and
pulsate with life and action.

One cent’s worth of Y-O will feed one hen 13 days. Just one extra
egg will pay the cost and make a profit. Prices—1 Ib. 65c; 2 Ib.

or cisterns up to 22 feet in depth, while outfit No. 655 A. M., some-
what similar is used for deep wells.
with one-half horsepower motors, either 32 or 110 volts, and the

Both systems are equipped

pumps are the self-oiling or splash system type.

The Myers Direct Water System is of sufficient capacity to pump directly against the faucets supplying an ordinary
residence. The opening of any faucet starts the pump by releasing the air pressure against the electric switch. The expense
of the current in operating an outfit of this class is no greater than is required for operating a pump of one-half the cap-
acity when connected with a large storage tank as they are obliged to work under a pressure of from 40 to 50 pounds, whereas
the Myers Direct Water System works under a pressure of 10 to 30 pounds only. List $160.00—Liberal Cash Discount

Highest Quality - - Animal Base - - Guaranteed Analysis

The commercial fertilizers which we offer are made by one of

Baltimore’s largest, oldest and most reliable manufacturers.
| Animal base products are consistently used, making a plant food
which in its chemical action in the soil is best suited for continuous
growth of the crops.

These fertilizers can be supplied in a number of combinations,
| each having a guaranteed analysis which will prove most helpful
| to the crop for which it is intended. Our volume of business in
vegetable fertilizers is rapidly increasing, because our customers
| have found our stock to be strictly first-class, dependable, low-
priced, and productive of the best crops in competition with other

brands.
THE BEST GRADES ARE THE CHEAPEST

overhead expense of manufacturing, storing, handling and dis-
tributing on your fields is the same for the actual plant food as
it is for the other materials which simply make up bulk. These
figures tell why. Consider our 7-12-7 at $48.00 per ton. This
high-grade fertilizer has a total number of 26 availaple units.
Dividing 26 into $48.00 equals $1.87 cost per unit.

With 4-8-4, however. which is still a high-grade fertilizer, the
total of 16 units at $33,00 per ton will cost $2.06 per unit. These
figures, however, do not take into account your cost of distribut-
ing, which would make the highest grade sti!l more economical to
use because it would require over 50% more 4-8-4 to equal the
