GUARANTEE.

Seeds of the best quality are apt to fail, through improper treatment, by sowing the seed too deep or too shallow, in too wet or too dry soil. They differ greatly as to tempera- ture required for germination. Some will ger- minate rapidly at a certain temperature, while others, if sown under the same conditions, are apt to decay. The young plants are liable to various accidents, cold or dry air may check their growth or destroy them. Insects above and below the ground may attack them, and a great many other contingencies may arise to

prevent the hest seeds from giving satisfac-

tion, and for all these reasons it is impractical] to guarantee seeds.

The Haines Seed Co. gives no warranty, ex- pressed or imphed, as to description, quality, productiveness, or any other matter, of any seeds, bulbs or plants we send out, and we will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods or these terms, they are at once to be returned.

TOMATO.

One ounce will produce about thirteen hun- dred plants. One and one-half pounds per acre.

All of our Tomato Seed is grown by the famous tomato grower, Mr. Livingston, and the seed can be had in the Livingston Sealed Packages, in ounce or quarter pound pack- ages without extra charge. We feel sure no better Tomato Seed can be procured at any price, certainly not so good at a less price.

Culture—F'or early plants sow in hot beds in March, in drills 5 inches apart, and one- half inch deep when the plants are about 2 inches high, transplant into another hot bed 4 inches apart each way; plant out in the open ground as soon as danger from frost is over, 4 feet apart each way in hills, which should have a shovelful of well rotted manure mixed with the soil. Water freely at time of trans- planting. In order to obtain early fruit pinch off the ends of the branches, after first fruit has set. The green fruit can be picked off before frost and ripened under glass, or is exceptionally fine preserved like peaches. By training the vines on trellises, or tieing ts stakes, the fruit will ripen better and be of finer quality.

Spark’s Harliana—The earliest smooth, bright red tomato of good size and flavor now in cultivation. The plants are quite hardy with rather slender open branches and moder- ate growth well set with fruits, nearly all of © which ripen extremely early in the season. The tomatoes grow closely together in clusters of 5 to 8, averaging 214 inches in diameter. They are smooth and solid, free from rough

ribs or cracks. The flesh is deep red, with solid center and small seed cells.

FLOWER SEEDS: A Few Words About Planting.

Our experience has been that a large number of failures that were thought to be attributable to poor seed, were really on account of a mis- understanding of the requirements of the seed planted. The more hardy varieties should be planted in the early spring. Take, for instance, Pansy Seed, which if planted in March or April will germinate very readily and soon make nice stocky plants, with roots well established be- fore the hot weather comes on, and bloom freely all summer. Whereas, if the same seed was planted in May or June it would germinate

but feebly, and the plants would’ not bloom satisfactorily until the cool weather came in the fall, which would enable them to make sufficient root to sustain them while blooming. While with other less hardy plants, the seed should not be planted until the soil has he: come warmed somewhat or the seed is liable to rot before it becomes warm enough to ger- minate; then another cause of failure is the manner of planting and the depth they are cov- ered. No definite rule can be laid down. A good plan for very small seed is to cover about

the thickness of the seed. If fine seed, like Petunia’s, were to be covered 14 inch or 1% inch deep, they would probably never be seen again. But we believe a more frequent cause of fail- ure than all other reasons combined, is the fact that the soil is allowed to dry out below the seed after it has sprouted and before the roots have reached sufficient depth to sustain the plant, thereby killing the germ, after which it is impossible to make it grow; care should be _taken to see that the soil is kept moist from the time of sowing the seed until the plants are large enough for the roots to reach down into the moist earth.

Garden Seed being planted deeper is not sub- ject to this trouble to the same extent, but the same thing sometimes happens with it also.

‘HOW TO SUCCEED IN RAISING FLOWERS.

First—Buy nothing but the best seed. A few cents difference in price will be more than made up in the end.

Second—Carefully prepare your flower beds.

Third—Observe the instructions as to time and manner of planting. a:

Fourth—Sprinkle the beds frequently with fine spray so as not to wash the soil off or over the seed.

Fifth—When the flowers appear do not be afraid of picking too many. Do not let them fade on the plants, even if you have to give some to your neighbors, who are less fortunate or more indolent than you, in order to keep them picked. The more the flowers are picked the more freely they will bloom. Especially is this true with Sweet Peas and Pansies.

COSMOS.

Grace, daintiness and brilliancy are the char- acteristics of this pretty flower. It is such a strong, vigorous grower and its fringe-like foli- age is such a pretty background for its lovely spreading flowers of white, pink and crimson purple, that it can hardly be spared from any garden. As a cut flower for vases or personal wear its grace and beauty is unequaled. A few years ago the Cosmos bloomed witli the Chrysanthemum, and being more tender, often died an untimely death by frost just at its first blooming, so that it was almost useless to plant it, but since the early flowering strain has been produced it may now be had to bloom from July to November.

SWEET PEAS.

A few words about growing Sweet Peas.

Our Sweet Peas are grown especially for us, by one of the most careful growers of Cal- ifornia, thus insuring the best that can be had.

The fragrant climbing annuals are too well- known to require a description at length by us. Seed should be sown as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, as this enables the vines to get a strong growth before hot weath- er. Work thoroughly into the ground a large quantity of well rotted manure and make trenches four inches deep, which will secure a deep root and allow blooming through the heat of summer. Keep the flowers picked off as fast as they come into bloom, for if the pods are al- lowed to form the plants will stop blooming. Always water early in the morning or late at night when the sun is off the ground.

OUR SILVER STATE MIXTURE OF SWEET

PEAS FOR 1906.

This is the finest mixture of Sweet Peas, containing, not only the most highly improved

By W. W. Wilmore, Dahlia Specialist. (Read this before planting.)

While the Dahlia is one of the easiest of all flowers to cultivate, it by no means follows that it requires no attention. Infact, no flow- er that I have ever cultivated will give such a generous response to good cultivation as the Dahlia. Deep and thorough stirring of the soil during the early growth of the plant is indis- pensabie to success. With poor cultivation or neglect the flower will rapidly degenerate—be- come semi-double and faded in color. The Dahlia, with but few exceptions, should be given an open, sunny situation for at least a portion of each day. It is a rank feeder, and should be given rich soil and kept free from grass and weeds. Cultivation should cease when the blooms appear. After tnis a liberal supply of water in dry weather will be all they require. Plant the bulbs two or three feet apart, according to the size and habit of the plant. The bulbs should be planted four inches below the surface of the ground, laying the bulb on its side. Varieties growing about three

Groff’s Strain.—The introduction of this pop- ular strain of Gladioli marks a new epoch in Gladioli culture. It gave us new forms, new colors and a more vigorous growth. The colors are widely varied and wonderfully rich. In good soil the spikes will often grow to a height of 5 feet. As a cut flower they were

feet in height should be tied to stakes to pre- vent falling. Plant about the first of May in this latitude. As soon as the frost has killed the foliage, the roots should be carefully taken from the ground and the soil shaken from among them; they may be stored away, in a cool place, not too dry, but secure from frost.

Hardy Herbaceous Perennial Plants and Roots

For Permanent Planting in Garden, Borders, etc.

No flower garden is complete without a col- lection of these most valuable plants. With a little care they may be selected so as to give a continuous supply of flowers from early spring to autumn’s frosts. They require far less care than the annuals or bedding plants, and may be used to good advantage to fill odd corners, along fences, and to screen unsightly - objects. They are perfectly hardy, and yet for winter they should have a slight covering of leaves or other litter. Care should also be taken to prevent pools of water standing on them during winter:

PAEONIES.

It is surprising that so noble a flower, al- most resembling the rose in brilliancy of color and perfection of bloom, should not be planted more. Amateurs and dealers seem to have lost sight of the many improved varieties intro- duced within the last few years. The first point is their hardiness; in the severest cli- mate the plants require no other protection than that which they afford themselves. They thrive in: almost every soil or situation, and when planted in large clumps make a magnifi- cent display of flowers and foliage.

Price, 25c each.

Bleeding Heart (Dielytra Spectabilis).—A hardy perennial plant, prceducing graceful sprays of heart-shaped pink and white flowers.

Price, 20c each; $2.00 per dozen.

Columbine (Aquilegia Caerulea).—The beau- tiful native species of the Rocky Mountains. Very broad flowers three inches or more in diameter. The outer sepals and long spurs are deep blue. Center of flower creamy. white. Grand for cutting or border work.

Price, 25c each.

Gypsophila Paniculata (Baby’s Breath).—A beautiful perennial, possessing a grace not found in any other perennial, and attracting the eye of every one. Jor cutting purposes it is exquisite, especially in combination with high-colored flowers, and some most lovely ef- fects can be produced with it.

Price, 15c each, 2 for 25c; $1.00 per dozen.

Golden Glow (Double Rudbeckia).—This is decidedly one of the brightest and most showy among the hardy plants and of the easiest culture possible. Six to eight feet high, pro- ducing numerous stems, which are laden with double golden-yellow flowers, in size and gen- eral appearance resembling a Cactus Dahlia. Excellent for cut flowers, lasting well when cut. Should find a place in every garden.

Price, 10c each; $1.00 per dozen.

SWEET WILLIAM.

Hollyhocks (Double Strong Field Roots).— As a background in large borders or beds of the lower growing herbaceous plants there is nothing better. The flowers, which are as ele- gant in shape as a Camelia, form perfect ro- settes of the most lovely shades. Separate colors in red, white, yellow, pink and maroon.

Price, 10c each; $1.00 per dozen.

Oriental Poppy.—This poppy is _ perfectly nardy. Its large, orange scarlet flowers make it one of the most showy of all plants.

Price, 10c each; $1.00 per dozen.

MISCELLANEOUS FIELD SEEDS

Owing to the fact that there are several grades of most of the varieties of grass seed, the prices quoted here may seem to be high compared to what some houses are offering. If that should be the case, we would suggest that you write for samples before buying. We would especially recommend this in the matter of Alfalfa seed. The price is apt to fluctuate, as the season advanees, according to the supply and demand. The prices here quoted are for the best grade of seed and based on the pres- ent market price. If wanted by mail, 8 cents per pound should be added.

Red Clover.—This species is regarded by far the most important of the whole genus for the practical purpose of agriculture, being valuable not only as a forage plant, but also for its fertilizing properties on the soil. It has very long and powerful tap-roots, and when these roots decay they add largely to that black mass of matter called the soil. As a forage plant it makes an excellent quality of hay, and can be cut at least twice a year. Sow twelve to fifteen pounds to the acre.

Price, lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.25.

Alfalfa Clover, or Lucern—The most valu- able forage plant; is particularly adapted for our Western climate and soil. It requires a deep, mellow soil; newly broken sod does not do so well. It thrives best on a sandy loam, the richer the better, while it has not proved a success on heavy, compact clay soil. Its roots go down from ten to twenty feet to the mois- ture of the ground. Although a prodigious yielder, it does not exhaust the soil, but rather improves the ground by the decay of its long roots, and converts it into rich ground, full of vegetable matter. The seed may be sown early in the spring, as soon as the frost is out of the ground, in order to catch the spring rains, as it needs moisture to germinate. In local- ities where irrigation is used it can be sown successfully at any time during the summer months. Most of our successful Alfalfa grow- ers prefer to sow the seed broadcast, while others are more in favor of drilling it in. If the latter plan is pursued, we advise drilling the seed both length and cross ways, say half

quantity each way, in order to secure a more even stand. It is more difficult to establish the first year, but will, when once started, pro- duce a profitable crop; under favorable circum- stances, three and even four crops are cut yearly, aggregating five to seven tons to the acre. Never sow less than twenty-five pounds of good, clean seed to the acre, for thin sowing produces thick and coarse stalks, not relished by stock. The proper time to cut it is when the plant is in full bloom. The seeds ripen to perfection, and are a source of considerable wealth to our farmers. If intended to raise Alfalfa for the seed, twelve to fifteen pounds is plenty to sow on one acre. It is worthy of trial in any locality where it has not already been tested. For hay crop sow twenty-five pounds to the acre. Price, per lb., 20c. Ask for latest prices when quantity is wanted.

BROMUS INERMIS, or HUNGARIAN BROME GRASS.

A Wonderful Drouth Resister. A Grass for the Stock Raiser. All Cattle like it. Will drive out Russian Thistle, also Black Mustard.

(Extract from Bulletin of South Dakota Ex perimental Station.) .

While there are other grasses that give a better quality of hay than does smooth brome grass, we have grown none at this station that has given as good returns one year with an- other. The grass has given paying crops every year for the past five seasons. The yield of seed is good, the hay is of good quality, though coarse when growth has been rank, and the grass promises well for use in permanent pas- tures. All kinds of stock eat it readily. Im- mediately after cutting, a fine growth of after- math springs up, which, with proper care, af- fords excellent fall and early winter grazing. In fine, it possesses more of the qualities nec- essary for good all-around plant for perma- nent pastures and meadows than any other grass grown on the station farm up to the present time.

Sow fifteen to twenty-five pounds per acre,

in either fall or spring. Its nature is to stooi out and thus does not show its best until the second season. It seldom produces seed the first year.

Aside from Alfalfa, no grass has fulfilled the promises to. our Western farmers better than the Bromus Imermis. It meets drouth as well as wet and cold, and for Colorado we know of no grass to equal it. Many of our large ranchers are planting it extensively. For more particulars ask for special circular.

Price, per lb., 15c; 8 Ibs., $1.00.

Orchard Grass.—No farmer should be with- out a small field of Orchard Grass, as in many respects it is superior to all other grasses. It stands the drouth, grows well in the shade, does well in wet or poor ground, and is splendid to prevent worn-out fields from washing. ‘This grass furnishes excellent pasturage three weeks before any other, and after close grazing ten days’ rest is sufficient for another growth. Cows fed on this will produce more and richer milk than on Blue Grass. It makes a very heavy sod, and when well set remains for many years. It is especially adapted for winter graz- ing, as it remains green all season. Sow 20 to 25 pounds to an acre.

Price, per lb., 20c; 6 lbs., $1.00.

Kentucky Blue Grass, the Great American Grass.—The old standard grass for pasture and lawns. Every farmer knows it and its good qualities. An old “Blue Grass farmer” of Cen- tral Kentucky says about it: “Whoever has limestone land has Blue Grass; whoever has Blue Grass has the basis of agricultural pros- perity, and that man, if he has not the finest horses and cattle, has no one to blame but himself. He can hardly avoid doing well if ‘he tries.” Sow about twenty-five to thirty pounds to the acre for meadow; for lawns sixty-five to eighty pounds per acre.

Fancy, clean Seed, Ib. 25e3 5 ibs. lbs. $1.00.

Timothy.—As a crop for hay, Timothy is probably unsurpassed by any other grass. It is greatly relished by all kinds of stock, espe- cially horses; yields more nutritive matter than any other grass or forage plant. Being an early grass, it is well adapted to spring and summer grazing, and if the fall season is fa- vorable, it will grow sufficiently to furnish good fall grazing, too. Sow ten to twelve pounds to the acre.

Price, per lb., 10c; 12 lbs., $1.00.

Red Top.—A valuable grass for moist soils. It is a good permanent grass, standing our climate as well as any other, and consequently well suited to our pastures, in which it should be fed close, for, if allowed to grow up to seed, the cattle refuse it. On moist, rich soil it will grow two feet, and on poor, gravelly soil about half that height. It has been grown success- fully even on “alkali” pvottom lands, where other grasses failed. Fancy, clean or hulled seed, sow 15 to 18 pounds to the acre.

Price, per Ib., 15c; 10 Ibs., $1.00.

MILLETS AND FORAGE PLANTS.

German Millet—No other grass or forage

plant has been able to produce the enormous yield of this plant. It has produced from four to five tons of hay to the acre, and from sev- enty to eighty bushels of seed. It is sown in the spring on newly broken priarie, and after harvesting it leaves the ground in the finest condition for wheat. Sow twenty-five to forty pounds to the acre.

True Southern grown.

Price, per Ib., 5c.

Common Millet.—It is an annual grass, with tender, juicy and luxuriant leaves, much rel- ished by all kinds of stock; makes- good hay. Sow twenty-five to forty pounds to acre.

Price, per lb., 5c.

Manitoba, or Hog Millet—The seed is very rich, and thus especially valuable as a hog food. A very much prized peculiarity of this Millet is that the seed ripens while the stem is yet green; thus, if cut promptly, can be threshed for the seed, while the hay, after be- ing threshed, will make excellent fodder. Sow same as other millet.

Price, per lb., 5c.

White Kaffir Corn.—It grows from four tr five feet high, making a _ straight, upright growth. It has a stalky stem, with enormous wide leaves. ‘The stalks keep green and are brittle and juicy, not hardening like other va- rieties of sorghum, making excellent fodder. either green or dried, which is highly relished by cattle and horses. The seed heads form at the top of each stalk, and as soon as these show the grain well, the joints next below the top send up shoots, which yield a second seed head. For the grain sow in rows three feet apart.

Price, per lb., 5c; 6 Ibs., 25c.

Red Kaffir Corn.—This grows taller than the white; the stalks are slenderer, but more juicy, and very leafy. The heads are long, slender. compact and grow erect; they measure from one to two feet. The seed is red, smaller than that of the white, and rather hard and brittle. Tt does well on poor land and yields well. It ripens a little earlier than the white variety, and yields much heavier. It is highly rerom- mended by the Kansas Agricultural College at Manhattan.

Price, per lb., 5c; 6 Ibs., 25c.

Mammoth Russian Sunflower.—Single heads measure fifteen to twenty-two inches in diam- eter, and contain an immense amount of seed. which is highly valued: by all farmers and voultry breeders who have tried it as an ex: cellent and cheap food for fowls. It is the best ego-producing food known for poultry. It can he raised cheaper than corn, and is destined to hean article of great value. Every farmer should plant some of the seed in any waste place of ground any time from early spring up to the middle of July. It is a wonderful im provement on the old native Sunflower, and besides, the great value of the seed as a poul try and stock food, its leaves make capital fod

CHATHAM FANNING MILL

WHAT MAKES HOME MOST BEAUTIFUL ?

With its velvety surface is a most essential feature in the adornment of all homes; without it the finest flowering plants, no matter how artistically arranged in beds, seem insignifi- cant, while with it handsome grounds are as- sured, even with no other adornment.

The things most essential to obtain this re- sult are first to secure some of our Mixed lawn seed, which we know to be pure and carefully cleaned to the extent of its being an impossi- bility to find contained in it any foul seed; careful preparation of ground, careful water- ing, liberal use of fertilizers, etc.

Get a Chatham Fanning Mill.

It will pay for itself in a short time.

It will clean any kind of seed and it not only cleans but grades it, saving only the largest and best for seed.

It has several points of advantage over other makes. Here are a few:

It has a bagging attachment, saving the work of one man.

It runs easier.

It does quicker work because it works au- tomatically.

It separates more cleanly.

It lasts longer.

It is sold on 30 days’ trial, being guaran- teed to give satisfaction.

So, as we have said before, don’t plant weeds. You will have enough without that. Come in and get our book telling how to make dollars out of wind.
