CLOVER and TIMOTHY SEED.

For years we have made it a point of honor to offer to the grower only the better grades of Clo- ver and Timothy Seeds, and this season we take pleasure in announcing that our supplies of both are ample and of the best quality. In buying and recleaning we have exercised a careful discrim- ination and our stock is free from inferior seed and adulterations that will be found in much of the clover on the markets this year. Mammoth, and Medium Red Clovers are carefully kept separate so that our customers may be assured that they are not buying the one and getting the other Our samples will convince that our seed is all weclaim and all seedshipped is guaran- teed of equal quality with sample and if not so it may be returned at our expense.

Last year on this guaranty our clover seed trade more than doubled in volume while not a bu- shel of seed was returned to us. Write stating quantity and quality desired and ask for samples. Our prices wil] always be found in line with market values.

White Clover. A necessary ingredient in park and lawn mixture. Adapted to low mead- OWS: 3 4D

Crimson Clover. An annual of great value asa winter and spring pasture. Sown in fall, it makes a rapid growth through winter and spring and blossoms about May 1. It protects soil from washing by winter rains, makes a green manure to plow under in spring. Will not thrive on heavy or wet clay. Sow 15 lb. toacre. Lb., 10c; } bu , $1.25; bu, $4.00.

Alfalfa. The leading hay andsoiling plant of the West andrapidly coming into favor in the eastern portion of the United States It is a perennial growing from one to three feet high and is almost drouth proof. A stand once obtained is good for continuous production of hay or seed for eight or ten years. It will produce from three to five crops of hay in aseason, the aggre- gate yield being 6 to 12-tons to the acre. The hay is eaten readily by farm animals, and for feed, is worth as much, ton for ton, as any other hay. ALFALFA thrives best on a light sandy soil underlaid by a permeable subsoil and will not succeed on heavy clay, on land underlaid by an impervious sub-soil or by a water table within twelve feet of the surface Good drainage is a necessity as an excess of water, either on the surface or in the soil, quickly kills ALFALFA. For ALFALFA ground shold be plowed and thoroughly pulverized thus affording a fine seed bed on which it should be sown broadcast at rate of 20 pounds of seed to an acre. Sow as early in spring as ground will work and clip with mower in early summer in order to keep down weeds which are the worst foes to the young ALFALFA plant. Write us forsamples and prices of seed.

Alsike or Swedish Clover. A hardy, sweet scented perennial, extensively used in mix- tures for pasture or meadow. Thrives where soil is quite wet and with Red Top forms standard mixture for low, wet meadows. Market Price.

Ee PURI Ss ONL Weal hee eee ee Be et Lawn Grass Seed. Our lawn mixture is composed of seed ingredients that experience has proven the best for the production of a hardy, green, velvety lawn. It is composed only of recleaned seed of good vitality and perfectly free from weeds or undesirable grasses of any kind. The surface for sowing should be fine, smonth and well mixed with finely rotted manure. Ona new lawn let grass start in height of four inches before cutting. Fertilize annually with manureor some good commercial lawn dressing. The objection to the use of manure on a lawn is the danger from noxious weed seed. A good lawn cannot be produced however without some dressing intelligently applied We sell this mixture in bulk at 20c per lb , or $3.00 per bu. of 16lks. We also put it upin neat boxes; 1 Ib. box, 20c: 2 lb. box, 35c. Add 10c per lb., if desired sent by mail.

TO SEED BUYERS:

WwW present. you our 1904 catalogue together with our compliments and trust that each

person who receives it is a member of that class of seed-users, who desire the best seeds and are willing to pay a reasonable price for them. This is the class of trade that we hope to serve. The quailty of the seeds themselves together with the results from planting them are the arguments that appeal most forcibly to intel- ligent seed users and in this intensely busy age and country the party who does the business in the end is the party who says what he has to say in the fewest words and takes the least portion of your time; hence the descriptions in this catalogue are as brief and concise as pos- sible while the illustrations are few and not overdrawn. We have put in the seed: business considerable study and time as well as some money and we feel that we are in a position to make good every offer and statement contained in this catalogue. 7 To us the most gratifying feature of it all is the kind words of our customers of the past together with their continued patronage. It is our earnest desire to continue to merit their trade and at the same time we hope to be favored with the orders of those who previous. to this year have not been our customers. Trust us with at least a trial order; weshall appre- ciate it we assure you, and give you good value for your money. We would call especial at- tention to our system of quoting seeds by actual weight and measure. This makes certain that you get the right quantity; a trial will convince you that you also have the right qual- ity. Bulk seeds are the cheapest. We ask you to try them and beconvinced. With best wishes. we are Yours to Command, Camden, Ohio, January 1, 1904. EIKENBERRY BROS.

Danvers Half Long is about same length, of medium size and with tapering point, while Improved Long Orange is rather slender and penetrates the soil more deeply, needing a light soil for growth and suc- cessful harvesting. While these are listed as garden varieties we would call especial atten- | tion to the feeding value of such carrots as the | Oxheart and Chantenay; they are so much more easily harvested than the Large White Belgian and the Long Red A/tringham, which are larger, yield more heavily, and are the va- rieties usually planted for stock feeding. The Large White Belgian is long and slender, grows one-third to one-half its length above the ground and is more easily pulled than the Long Red Altringham which grows entirely below.

Celery.

Culture.—Prepare a thoroughly pulverized seed bed and sow seed when apple is in bloom. Cover the seed very lightly and water freely indry weather. When plants are three or four inches high transplant into shallow

trenches, repeating the planting at intervals of twoweeks |

for a succession. (elery growing is almost a science; dif- ferent modes of culture are advanced and the limited space afforded by a seed catalogue does not admit of an adequate discussion of the subject. There has been and is being much written and published on celery culture that may be read with profit. One ounce of seed will pro- duée three or four thousand plants.

‘yf White Plume.—Probably the most pop- ular variety of celery. Turning almost white as it reaches maturity, it is nearly self-blanch- ing and requires but litt'e banking.

Lettuce.

Culture-Seed may be sowu in hotbea and transplanted giving space each way of six to twelve inches according to variety. Forlater supply sow in drillin spring and summer and when plants are up to height of an inch, thin to proper distances. Cover seed lightly, give plants good soil, plenty of'moisture and good cultivation, An ounce of seed will pro- Auce 2500 to 300y plants.

Improved Harison.—tThis grand lettuce is one of the most popular and, we believe, the best head lettuce in cultivation. In proof of this statement is the fact that the demand for it in- creases year by year. It isone of the crisp-headed varieties, the head being compact and inner leaves white and tender as if blanched. Outer leaves

are slightly curled and of a handsome green color. The flavor is mild and rich even to the outer leaves and in the warmest weather. It is a strong drought resister and succeeds wonderfully well in open air culture.

Black Seeded Simpson.—An old standard variety and the best non heading lettuce. It grows large bunches of crisp, tender leaves, which are of a light green color; inner leaves al- most white. This isa fine lettuce for forcing and a favorite with market gardeners.

»’ lceberg.—This handsome lettuce is comparatively a new variety but is in high favor with an who have given it a trial. The heads are unusually solid and inner leaves are always well blanched. The outer leavesare large, curly and bright green with slight reddish tinge at edges. This is an ideal lettuce of the finest quality.

OTHER VARIETIES,

Another lettuce making a fine. large head is the Deacon or Nonpareil, growing a head with few outer leaves almost as large and compact as a cabbage. The Denver Market grows a large, solid head-and is distinguished from other varieties by the Savoy-like markings of its outer leaves. Whe Big Boston is one of the best fancy early lettuces, forming a good head and thriving better in open air than under hot house culture. It is an improved variety of Boston Market. '’Early Prize Head is a hardy, stubborn seeding variety, large, crisp. fine flavored and tender. }Grand Rapids is another popular early lettuce“ but belongs to the cutting or non- heading class. It is of quick growth and a good shipper:// Curled Silesian is an earliest variety affording quick growth of crumpled leaves which are admirable for cutting. The Dwarf “White Heart is the best of ‘'Co.’’ or Celery varieties of lettuce and is highly prized for its solid heads, crisp leaves and mild flavor during the hot months.

Onions.

Culture. Onions will grow in any good soil and will succeed well when grown on same ground for succession of years. Fertilize well with rotted manure or commer- cial fertilizer. Sow seed thinly in drills quarter to half inch deep and a foot apart. . For large onions use four or five pounds seed to the acre; for sets, forty to fifty pounds are required. If using sets, plant six to eight bu. per acre. Keep ground freefrom weeds by frequent shallow culture. Full sized onions may be grown first year from good seed. For raising crop of sets would recommend Yellow. Danvers, White Portugal or Yellow Dutch.

E MAKE seed corn a specialty and give our personal attention to its production and

W preparation We take special pains to produce corn of the highest type, and that we have succeeded is manifest by the numerous testimonials to the merit and ex- cellence of our seed.

a om WE GROW OUR CORN ESPECIALLY FOR SEED. It is carefully hand sorted at husking time, and only the best placed in the racks todry. In spring, at shipping, it is resorted, the tips are removed and it is shelled and cleaned. We are

assured by frequent tests of its proper germination.

We offer no variety of corn unless we are certain it is well adapted for culture in the great corn-growing region of the Central States. Our seed is all the product of the famous Miami Valley, known the world over for its fertility, and where the products of the soil grow to their fullest maturity. We believe we are able to put money in the pockets of our patrons, and that if they will favor'us with their orders, they will have something which it is a pleasure to grow: a fine crop of corn.

Our prices on seed corn are low and we ask that you kindly compare them with the priceg for the same quality of seed quoted by other reliable seed houses.

Order early. Do notdelay too long. Last year we had torefuse late in the season orders for different leading varieties of seed corn, the supply of which was exhausted. We are wel] supplied this year with all varieties and trust that we shall be able to supply all reasonable de- mands.

We hope to hearfrom you. All ordsrs promptly and carefully filled.

=— DEEMSTER YELLOW.

A HEAVY YIELDER AND A MARVEL OF EARLINESS CONSIDERING ITS SIZE.

Last year in introducing this new variety of corn we made the claim that it is a heavy yielder anda marvel in earliness considering its size. The experience of our friends who grew it fully verifies our claim. We have for some time been convinced that most of the yellow corn grown in the vicinity of the fortieth parallel is too small to yield the return that might be ob- tained from the cultivation ofa larger variety. 1n the produc- tion of this corn it has been our aim to produce a yellow corn that should exceed other yellow corns in size and yet

mature and be ready for the harvest as early as the Leam- ing.. This year we have grown it, not in an experimental way, but under ordinary field cul- ture along with other varieties DEEMSTER YELLOW. and while it outyielded them all it was fully as s early in ma-

turing and ripening its crop.

) Deemster Yellow outclasses any other large yellow corn, excelling especially in three partic- ulars: |

- First.— Ears are symmetrical, holding their thickness well from butt to tip. Many large yellow corns are disproportioned and heavy at the butt of the ear and hence do not dry out

. readily..

Second.—Deemster matures and ripens along with Leaming and is fully as solid and dry as that excellent variety. It may be ground almost as soon as it will do to husk.

Third.—While ear is large and grains grow well down-around stem, yet it husks and breaks off easily - :

~ Deemster is a bright yellow corn growing 18 to 26 compact rows of deep grainson a medium sized cob. It is well fixed in type and color, rows are BEE ears pe and cylindrical with butts and tips well filled.

Mr. J. M. Durrell, of Posey County, Ind., a well known corn grower of the Jeabash Valley, grew Deemster along with several other standard varieties last year giving each same cultiva- tion and equal chance. On November 13, 1903, he writes us regarding it: **The yield was fully a third more than any of the rest of my corn. [I believe it is the best yellow corn I ever saw.”’

We offer our Deemster Yellow to the corn growers of the country fully believing that it is a superior yielder and a money maker, anc are confident that we are taking no risk in placing behind it our reputation as producers of high-class seed. There is certain to be a demand for seed of so large and symmetrical yellow corn, and raisers will find a profit from this source as well as from the increased yield from their crop. Toany one desiringa larger yellow corn than they are now raising, we offer the Deemster with the assurance that it will fill the want.

3 Sea oa _=_—<<—- IMPROVED KLONDIKE.

We have from our customers more words of commendation for the Improved Klondike than for any other variety of corn of which at any time we have offered the seed. It has madea good record again this year making and maturing a good sized ear when many other varieties failed to mature. While, as we have previously stated, we do not believe the ideal corn in every respect has ever been produced, yet we believe the Klondike

corn is about las near perfect as any corn in cultivation,

Here are seven points in its favor that are hard to get around and that we do not believe can be found combined in any other individual variety:

First.—Heavy yielder in field tests, outyielding other stan-

dard varieties.

Second.—Its solid, uniform golden yellow color.

Third.—Early maturing, being at least two weeks earlier than Mastodon.

Fourth.—A remarkably deep grain,

Fifth.—A small cob, enabling the ripened ear to dry quickly.

Sixth.—Solid and of high feeding value.

Seventh.—A strong growing medium-sized, leafy stalk, making abundant fodder.

It grows one and two medium-sized ears to a stalk, with an exceedingly small per cent. of barren stalks. The Illinois State Experiment Station, after exhaustive tests covering a series of years, secured the largest average yield of marchant- able shelled corn from medium-sized corn producing one good - ear to the stalk. ~A Klondike ear is a model in shape, holding extremely well its thickness from butt toitip. It is well filled atboth ends, and we believe will outshell any other corn grown. It isa splendid variety to grow to take off early in the fall to make

way for wheat.

We recommend Klondike corn for its intrinsic vaiue, and because it is a money maker. There is a general demand for the seed and last year our stock of Klondike corn was exhausted early in the season. This year we hope to be able to supply the demand but would suggest to our

friends who want to plant it to send orders reasonably early. Peck, 50c; bu., $1.50; 2 bu. or over, $1.40 per bu., 10 bu , $12.50.

FARMER'S

e K = INTEREST KEONDIKE

From Two Large Growers.

In the spring of 1902 we sold to Mr. S. W. Cooley of Pryorsburg. Ky., ten bushels Klondike corn for seed. Mr. Cooley is an extensive farmer and President of the Kentucky Construction and Improvement Co. On October 20th 1902 he wrote as follows: ‘‘I got a good stand from the seed corn I got from you in the spring. Itis the best corn I ever rzised. It is best all round corn l eversaw. I never was pleased better with any crop of corn.”’

In spring of 1903 we shipped three separate orders of seed corn to Messrs. McNary & Gaines, Proprietors of the Xenia Star Nurseries of Xenia, Ohio. On Dec 3, 1903, they write: ‘No rain from July to October. Improved Klondike: ‘-Did well, matured well; about 60 bushels to the acre.”’ |

Be Progressive and Pasture Your Stock on Dwarf Essex Rape.

Dwarf Essex Rape. — Dwarf Essex Rape is an annual, bearing in stalk and leaf a ‘+ close resemblance to the Ruta-Baga. As a pasture plant its use is increasing at a wonderful rate in*many_ parts of this country. Itis a comparatively re- cent introduction from England and -has already proven to be one of the most valu- able plants ever brought into thiscountry. It should be sown in drills 24 feet apart but may be sown broadcast. The ground should be prepared as for turnips and the seed sown in June or July. Iu six weeks after sowing, stock may be turned on aid thus have the benefit of green pasture through the season when green pasture is usually most needed. It was first used for sheep pasture, for which it is unex- celled. Prof. Shaw, of the Minnesota Experi- ment Station, pastured 36 lambs on one acre of rape for two months. This result may not be attained on the ordinary farm but it will be found easy enough to pasture and fatten 15 to 20 head of sheep or swine‘on.one acre. These statements will not seem exaggerated when it ‘is considered that Dwarf Essex Rape will pro- duce ten tons of green fodder per acre and that its nutritive value is nearly twice that of clover Sheep and hogs prefer it to any other pasture, while cattle eat it greedily, but should not be allowed to enter rape field and pasture at will. as they destroy too much by trampling and are liable to over-eat themselves. Besides sowing it a3 a crop by itself, it may be sown (1) along with oats, providing a sheep and hog pasture “after harvest, (2) along with peas, oats or corn sown broadcast to provide pasturage for stock, (3) along with rye sown in August for late pas- turage for sheep, or (4) in corn, sowing the seed broadcast after the last cultivation is given the corn. We have several customers who sow it exclusively in this last manner and thus have a green pasture after the corn is cut off until as late as the first of December. Rape is par- ticularly adapted for a catch cropas, like the turnip, it grows better late than earlier in the season. ~ It is useless toj;experiment with any other variety of rape. Dwarf Essex is the only good Rape and any good Rape is Dwarf Essex. It is a plant of different class and appearance _from other rape plants, which are little better than noxious weeds.

In sowing broadcast, use 5 to7 pounds of seed per acre, according to quality of land, for rape will grow on any kind of land but, of course, thrives best on a rich soil. ¢ In drills, two or three pounds to the acre will suffice. There is no other plant known that will yield such a return of pasture or green fodder, for such a small investment. Itis bound to come into general used in this country ; in England no farmer is without his field of rape.

Sorghum or Sugar Cane.

Each year there is a considerable demand for sorghum seed to be sown for forage. The drouth resisting qualities of this family of plants have attracted the attention of dairymen and stock raisers to the value of thickly sown sorghum as a summer food for cattle.We of- fer two varieties that are in demand for this purpose. For forage, use about 20 pounds of seed to the acre. Following prices subject to market changes, Bags, 15c extra.

Early Amber.— This variety usually pre- ferred for cultivation in the Northern States. It is unsurpassed by any sugar cane for green fodder or for silo, Makes finest quality of syrup. 1 ]b., by mail, 15c., bu., $1.00.

Early Orange.—Not so tall as Amber cane but with heavier stalk. It is a favorite Southeren variety and yields an abundance of syrup. 1 lb., by mail, 15c; bu.. $1.00.

Kaffin Corn

A non-saccharine sorghum, growing four or five feet high, making a straight, upright growth. It produces from two to four long, narrow heads to the stalk. These are filled with red or white seed, highly relished by all farm animals, and may be fed whole or may be ground. Where conditions are favorable, a seed yield of 60 bushels to the acre has been obtained. Stalks keep green, do not harden like ordinary sorghum, and thus make an ex- cellent fodder, either green or dry. A great drouth resister. Give same culture as corn. Prices’subject to change.

ve Southern Cow Peas

No plant has been agreater boon to many sections of this country than the Cow Pea.. It it isa leyuminous plant of wonderful fertilizing power and is highly valued for reclaiming worn out land or improving the productiveness of any landon which itttis raised. It has the power to a greater degree than any other plant of its class, of gathering the nitrogen from the air and storing it in its roots and stems where, after the crop is cut off, it remains to enrich the soil. It thus largely enables growers to dispense with nitrogenous fertilizer. Ten to 12 tons of green fodder is not an’ uncommon harvest from an acre of cow peas. They are largely used for hay, yielding an immense quan- tity of the best feed, while they are unexcelled for ensilage. When it is desired to plow under the entire crop wait until the vines are partly dead before doing so. Sow in May or June, one to oneand one half bushels to the acre

For cultivation north of the Ohio river we would recommend the Whippoorwill, which yields a good crop of both peas and vines, while pods ripen earlier than those of other kinds. It is especially recommended when a hog pasture is desired. The Black Cow Pea is quicker to mature than the Black Eye, conse- quently better for Northern cultivation
