Trans=Mississippi Lawn Mixture
Will produce a permanent and beautiful Lawn
wherever sown.
Of all the charming features which contributed to the grandeur of the Trans-Mississippi and Inter- national Exposition, not one was so universally ad- mired as were the beautiful lawns sown with the Nebraska Seed Company’s Trans-Mississippi Lawn Mixture. In that great “White City” it was impos- sible for everyone to examine all the exhibits, but the velvety lawns were always before the multitudes, and were the subject of more flattering enconiums than any single one of the magnificent sights.
The grass seeds we use in our Trans-Mississippi Lawn Mixture were exhibited by us at the Exposi- tion and received a Gold Medal award.
Our Trans-Mississippi Mixture is the result of sev- eral years careful experimenting, and, as we now offer it, is unequalled. This mixture consists of fourteen different kinds of grasses, and is composed of the best varieties for producing in the shortest possible time, a thick inter-woven carpet of the deepest green color and most lasting quality. It will not burn out brown in the hottest weather and will not require re-seeding for years. The quantity re- quired for making new lawns is four bushels per acre, or for renovating old lawns one to two bushels. For a plot 15x20, or 3800 square feet, one quart is required for new or one pint for renova- tion.
PRICE: Per lb. 35c¢; 3 lbs. $1.00; bushel, $3.00.
The Nebraska Seed Go.’s Golf Link Mixture
There is no use to which a lawn is put that is so exacting as that used for Pleasure Grounds, Golf Links, ete. No other turf is required to stand such wear and rough usage; hence the necessity of sowing such grasses as will produce a thick and healthy gerowth, and withstand the constant tramping of many feet. We have devoted much time to experi- menting, in order to produce the correct mixtures, such as will quickly produce a rich green turf. For sowing the seed follow the same directions as for Trans-Mississippi Lawn Mixture. Price per pound 30c; 5 lbs. $1.25; 44-bu. $1.40; bu. $2.50.
SEED
The Nebraska Seed Go.’s ‘Shady Nook”? Lawn Seed
This is especially prepared for shady places under trees and for light sandy soil where it is difficult to get a stand of grass. Price per pound 30c; 4 lbs. $1.00; 10 lbs. $2.25.
The Nebraska Seed Go.’s Special Grass Mixture
This extra-choice mixture contains a large pro- portion of the finer and more expensive species, such as Rhode Island Bent, Crested Dog’s Tail, Creeping Bent, in extra-heavy samples, bringing the weight up to 20 lbs. per bushel, and producing a turf of the closest and finest texture possible. Sow 50 lbs. to acre. “Per lb. 40c; 5 Ibs. $1.85; 10 lbs. $3.50.
Kentucky Blue Grass
Many prefer this to a mixture of grasses, and the fact cannot be denied that a lawn of Blue Grass is magnificent; it takes longer, however, to get it established. Fancy clean Seed. Per lb. 25c; 5 Ibs. $1.15; 7 lbs. $1.60; bu., 14 lbs., $3.00.

How to Make a Lawn
preparation of the soil is absolutely necessary. If the soil is not naturally rich it should be well fertilized. Plow deep, (spading is better), then pulverize, rake and roll until a smooth even surface is obtained. In the latitude of Omaha sow seed in March, April or May, but earlier in the season if you ean pre-
pare the soil and sow the better. The seed can be sown in September and produce a fine lawn. When the seed is sown, rake it in lightly and after that give it a thorough rolling if possible, so as to have an even surface. Water thoroughly every day or two as needed.
A lawn may be established either by “sodding” or ‘“seeding.’*’ The latter is not only much less expensive, but much more satisfactory, as better grasses can be thus obtained, and the quality and variety of the grasses have a great deal to ag with the appearance and permanency of the awn.

The Nebraska Seed Go’s Lawn Fertilizer
It Does the Work of Twenty-times its Weight in Barnyard Manure Does it Better, Quicker and Cheaper and Lasts Longer Does not Disfigure your Lawn with an Unsightly, I/l-smelling Mass
Contains no Weed Seeds.
Lawn grass is a voracious feeder and will not thrive and hold its beautiful dark green color and velvety appearance unless it receives a_ sufficient supply of suitable food. Because so few appreciate this fact is the reason there are so many poor, rusty- looking lawns. Stable Manure is unpleasant to handle, ill-looking and decidedly odorous, and is also full of waste material. It contains weed seeds which are obnoxious, and it often takes years to eradicate the weeds, causing an unnecessary amount of labor. All these objections are obviated by the use of our Lawn Fertilizer.
Is Easily Applied
DIRECTIONS FOR USE.—The first application should be made early in the Spring. as soon as the frost is out of the ground, at the rate of 25 pounds of fertilizer to every 1,000 square feet of lawn, evenly distributed. For seeding down a new lawn seatter double the amount. say 50 pounds of fertilizer, broadcast on every 1,000 square feet, and rake it in thoroughly before sowing the seed.

Gabbage
Kopfkohl,
Choux Fommes.
CULTURE.—To secure early cabbages, sow seed in fall in boxes and winter the young plants in
cold frames, or it may be sown in February or March in hotbeds.
The latter plan is generally adopt-
ed in this neighborhood. The February sown plants, when large enough, should be transplanted into cold frames, and as early as the ground is in fit condition they should be planted into the garden in
rows about two feet and about eighteen inches in the row.
The late varieties should be sown about
the Ist of May and set out in the garden in July. As these grow larger than the early varieties, they should be planted in rows about three feet apart and about two feet apart in the row.

Success with this choice vegetable depends very largely upon the rapid growth of the plant from
the time the seed has germinated until it is established in its permanent location.
Make the soil as
fine as possible for every transplanting, and do not allow the young plants to become checked at any
time for want of water.
For spring and early summer use, sow in January or February in hot bed,
and transplant to cold frame when sufficiently large, and to the garden as soon as ground is warm
enough. For late autumn crops sow in the early part of June, and transplant in July.
In dry weather
water freely and as they advance in growth hoe deep and draw earth to the stem. When heading tie
the outside leaves loosely over the heads to protect from the sun.

RUBICON HALF LONG. Since the introduction ofthis valu- able and distinct American carrot a few years ago, it has rapidly grown in popularity, until now it is more largely grown than all other varieties of carrot combined. It is the best in shape, and its deep red orange colored fiesh is the finest of all in quality. It is earlier than Danvers, about the same length, but heavier and thicker at the shoulders, making it more productive. It is a wonderfully heavy cropper, producing thirty to forty tons to the acre under good field culture. It grows well under the ground, which prevents it from becoming sunburnt.

but two or three melons to the vine.
KLECKLEY SWEETS. The finest melon yet in- troduced for home growing and table use. The vines are strong, vigorous, and the fruits grow uni- formly to large size, 18 to 20 inches long and 12 inches in diameter The skin is a rich, dark green; flesh bright scarlet, ripening close to the rind which is but half an inch thick, so that shipping it long distanees is not practicable. The seeds are white, lying close to the skin and leaving a very large, solid heart, crisp, sugary, melting and entirely free from stringiness. The handsome appearance, uniform growth and luscious sweetness make it one of the finest melons in cultivation. Our seed was saved from carefully selected melons and is strictly pure and true. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % Ib. 25e; lb. 85c.
HALBERT’S HONEY. This melon fully equals the Kleckley Sweets in superb luscious flavor, and has fruits more even and regular in outline, with a darker, richer colored skin, making it more attrac- tive in appearance. The vines grow quickly, so that they will ripen choice fruits even in the Northern States if planted in a good location; further south. two plantings may be made, one for summer and one for fall use. The melons average eighteen to twenty inches long and are full or bluntly rounded at both ends. The seed is white and comparatively small. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 44 lb. 25¢e; 1b. 8c.

NEW TRIUMPH WATERMELON. This new melon has ereated quite a furor among Southern shippers on account of the very high prices realized by the few who have grown them.

All the good qualities of the old Stratagem are highly developed in this new and grand pea, and it is vastly superior to the stocks now generally sold as Stratagem. For general con- sumption it is one of the most profitable varieties that can be grown, being of sturdy branching habit. The pods are very large, slightly curved and contain from ten to thirteen fine large peas, which are of a deep, green color, and most delicious flavor. Pt. 15c; qt. 25c; pk. $1.75; bu. $6.00.

Its solidity and fine quality are quite equal to the best medium and late sorts. One of our growers had a specimen plant that had by actual count forty-five ripened fruits at time of the first picking, and thirty-five green ones of good size. No market gardener should be without this tomato Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; % ib. $1.20; lb. $3.00.

Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; 4% lb 90c; Ib. $2.75.
CRIMSON CUSHION. Fruit very large, round and regular, bright scarlet color, flesh solid and best quality, cells small and few in number. The plants are very productive. The fruit is of fine form and appearance, and will stand shipment well. Pkt. 5ce; oz. 45ce; % |b. 90c; 1b. $3.20.

The seed cavity in the fruit is so small that they are nearly solid, and unlike other purple varieties. Pkt. dc; oz. 30c; ¥% 1b. 70c; lb. $2.00.

SELECTED SEED POTATOES. 23
Northern Grown Seed Potatoes
It is a2 well known fact that the shortness of the season, the cool climate and congenial soil of the North develop in the potato, qualities of earliness, hardiness, productiveness, vigor and disease resist- ance not found in our home grown stock. For this reason we contract each year for our seed potatoes in those quarters.
Our contracts are made with seed potato specialists, men thoroughly experienced in growing potatoes The seed stock from which they are grown is selected from the very best of the previous Hence it is but natural that the product
for seed. season’s crops—from thousands and thousands of bushels. should run uniformly of the highest quality.
Nevertheless our contracts specifically provide that proper care shall be taken for the prevention of disease (by spraying, etc.); that precaution shall be used to avuid any possible mixing in handling and that before shipping they shall be hand picked so as to be uniform in size and type and absolutely free from disease. . Consequently, our customers find that our seed potatoes produce, smoother, hand-- somer tubers, more of them and of better quality than those grown from the best home grown stock. Some of them claim that they can grow nearly double the crop on the same land that they can from their own raising of seed. We are pleased to say that this year our stock runs the exceptionally fine.

Growers who have been accustomed to buying the stock usually offered as Early Ohio, secured from promiscuous and doubtful sources will be delighted at the absolute purity and uniform high quality of our Red River Valley seed.
It is the standard extra and other varieties are
We consider our stock of Ohio to be the earliest, purest and altogether the handsomest stock of Early Ohio potatoes to be found anywhere. On these
points we challenge comparison with stock from any other source. We do not admit that its equal ex- ists among Harly Ohio potatoes. They are grown under conditions that make them cost more than common stock. They are selected with the utmost care and the result is grand, such as to delight everyone who knows and appreciates a good po- tato. Every one of them is a “picture” of what an Early Ohio potato should be. Half pk. 30c; pk. 50c3 bu. $1.50; 5 bu. $7.00.

Early Yellow Jersey Sweet Potatoes.
We make a specialty of having our seed sweet potatoes grown in New Jersey, where they have unequalled facilities for handling and storing. New Jersey grown sweet potatoes are everywhere ac- knowledged to be the best in quality, being much dryer and sweeter than those grown in the South and West, while their keeping and shipping qual- ities are away ahead. We pack for shipment in boxes and barrels, with greatest care; but as they are very susceptible to climatic changes, we cannot hold ourselves responsible for their condition after long journeys of several hundred miles, and wish it distinctly understood that customers take all risk
after we deliver in good condition to the express or railroad company here. We do not ship until about planting time unless especially ordered to do so.

RED CLOVER. This species is regarded by far.
the most important of the whole genus for the prac- tical purpose of agriculture, being valuable not only as a forage plant, but also for its fertilizing prop- erties 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 about twelve or fifteen pounds to the acre. Weight, 60 lbs. per bushel.

Compared with common Red Clover, its flower, foliage and and its seed is the product of the flower of the first crop, while the seed of the common Red Clover is the product of the flower of the second crop, and different in some other characteristics of little importance. It is val- uable when sown with other grasses for mixed hay, as it ripens later than the common Red Clover, and about the time that Timothy, Orchard and other grasses ripen, thereby making the hay a much bet- ter quality. Being a very rank grower, it is com- ing into very general use for soiling purposes. Sow twelve to fifteen pounds to the acre. Weight, 60 lbs. per bushel.

It is also grown large- ly and successfully in Virginia, where it is called “German Clover,’ and we think it would do well here in our Western States. It is from two to three weeks earlier than Red Clover, and for this reason very desirable. The yield in fodder is immense, and, after cutting, it at once commences growing again, and continues until severe, cold, freezing weather. It grows about one foot high; the roots are nearly black; leaves long; blossoms long, pointed and of a very deep red or carmine color. Makes good hay.

26 TESTED ALFALFA SEED.
ALFALFA OR LUGERNE
The Grandest Hay and Forage Plant Ever Introduced
This is the best forage plant that can be grown, and is being more extensively planted every season. The reasons why it is meeting with such universal favor are many, but can be summed up as follows:
Its Adaptability
Alfalfa is adapted to dry, sandy, infertile soils where other plants fail to grow. Its vigorous, pene- trating root system, often reaching to a depth of 20 to 30 feet below the surface and well into the sub- soil, discovers sources.of plant food and moisture supply that are inaccessible to any other plant. In this way it successfully resists the fiercest drought and stands up perfectly fresh and green when all other plants are withering for want of moisture. Its phenomenal hardiness makes it proof against our severest winters in the North. Given a well drained, porous soil, it will not be affected, in: the least by excessive rains and snows, and the long continued freezing weather of winter.
its Various Uses
Alfalfa comes nearer to being a complete food than any other one thing. With the addition of corn it makes an almost perfect balanced ration. It is rich in protein. Protein is what makes. bone, muscle, blood, nerve, brain and vital process in ani- mals and is the highest priced part of their food, being generally supplied by feeding grains. Alfalfa is equally desirable whether for horses, eattle, sheep, hogs, or poultry. It can be pastured or fed dry as hay.

Sow early, from 20 to 30 pounds of seed to the acre. Some seedsmen recommend at the rate of 10 to 12 pounds of seed per acre. This is a fatal error, and has been the primary cause of several failures in obtaining a good stand. It must be seeded heayv- ily in order to get a good stand and have a fine quality of hay.
Cut when in full bloom, rake into windrows and let dry until the leaves, if roughly handled, are in- elined to fall off, then lay in piles, one forkful in each pile to cure.

TURKESTAN ALFALFA
Medicago Sativa Var. Turkestanica
Perfectly Hardy, Withstands Drouth, Heat and Cold. Yields the Heaviest and Rich-
est Crops of Fodder. The Best Clover for Permanent Hay and Pasture,
The importance of forage crops has occupied our attention many years, and we are constantly on the alert for new varieties. Turkestan Alfalfa, we be- lieve, to be the most important introduction in late years. Its value can hardly be estimated, but with- out doubt it will add millions of dollars to the annual hay crop of the United States.
The seed was first secured from Russian Turkes- tan by Prof. N. E. Hanson, while engaged as agri- eultural explorer for the Department of Agricul- ture, Washington. In 1898 and 1899, 1,101 packages of the seed were distributed by the Secretary of Agriculture throughout the United States, and upon eareful investigation it has proved vastly superior to the common Alfalfa, inasmuch as it withstands extreme dought and cold much better.
VALUE AS A FODDER PLANT ON DRY ARID SOILS. The climate of Turkestan is not unlike that of our interior States, being far removed from the ocean and surrounded by wide expanses of dry land. The summers are very hot and long, and in many places the evaporation exceeds the quan- ity of moisture that has fallen during the year. The inhabitants are mainly employed raising cattle,
and here it is this Alfalfa grows and flourishes. We have every reason to believe it will prove equally as valuable in this country.
WITHSTANDS EXTREME COLD WITHOUT IN- JURY. At the Experiment Station, Brookings, S. D., with a minimum temperature last winter of 40 de- grees below zero with the ground bare, common al- falfa was killed, while Turkestan came through un- harmed. At the Wyoming Experiment Station the Turkestan Alfalfa was exposed to a minimum tem- perature of 45 degrees below zero without harm.
GOOD CROPS ON ALKALI SOILS. The introduc- tion of Turkestan Alfalfa permits of a great exten- sion of the area heretofore devoted to the culti- vation of Alfalfa, and this, too, in sections where climatic conditions have almost prohibited the grow- ing of leguminous forage crops. Not only does it endure extreme drought and cold, but excellent . crops of it have been raised on strongly alkaline soils. TURKESTAN ALFALFA
The plants grow strong, more leafy with slender and less woody stems than the common _ sorts, given for common Alfalfa. The seed we offer is thereby making a finer and more nutritious hay. imported direct from Turkestan.

Bromus Inermis.
e
HUNGARIAN OR AWNLESS BROME GRASS (Bromus Inermus). Is the best all around pasture grass that has ever been introduced. It is a native of* Hungary, but it seems to be adapted to the
prairies of the West, the cold regions of the North,
and the hot plains of the South better than any other grass.
It is a strong-growing perennial grass with smooth, leafy stems, which grow from one to four feet high. It forms a tough sod, soon crowding out other common forage plants. It is very hardy. The underground stems, (root stalks) grow more rapidly in light, sandy loam, but they penetrate with apparent ease the stiffest clay, and in all cases form a dense, tough sod.
For several years past we have lost no oppor- tunity, either through our catalogue or by personal correspondence, to urge its value on these who have not yet used it and whose attention has not been particularly drawn to its great and unquestionable merits.
We believe that the introduction of Bromus Iner- mis has added $5 to the value of every acre of land in the West, especially in the Dakotas, Montana, Washington, Nebraska, Kansas, Idaho, and other states having within their boundaries large areas of land which will not under ordinary circumstances yield a crop of grass. Its introduction has added Millions of dollars to the productive capacity of these states, thus increasing the value of every acre within the state.
Bromus Inermis comes to us from Russia. On the great prairies of that country this marvelous grass thrives luxuriantly. It stands year after year, yields enormous crops of excellent hay, and fur- nishes, both early and late, rich and abundant pas- ture. It is an inestimable boon to countries where lover does not thrive and where timothy and other grasses, either tame or wild, yield a light and de- creasing crop of hay.
Yields enormous crops of splendid hay and affords early and abundant Our best grade of this magnificent grass is unequalled for germination and less seed of it is reyuired to the acre than any other grade.
FROM GOOD SEED, GOOD CROPS GROW,
BROMUS INERMIS,
THE COMING GRASS FOR THE WEST AND ARID LANDS.
INERMIS _3rsete
Drouth Defying Frost Resisting
Bromus Inermis.
It is a thoroughly established success in the West. It is a “cosmopolitan” grass, adapting itself to al- most every condition of soil or climate and to any use to which grass may be put, equaling in quality and rivalling in yield almost every other grass,
resisting extremes of temperature whether of heat or cold, profitable to sow anywhere, but most val- uable for its wonderful power to grow under dry conditions. Its supreme adaptation for the semi- arid belt that lies west from the Rocky Mountains and ‘extends northward from Oklahoma to the Alaskan boundaries, renders it a veritable Godsend to the people of that region.
_ The worth of the grass to all parts where clover is not as yet a decided success, is beyond all esti- mate. Those owning lands in the West should not neglect any longer establishing this important grass on their farms. Get a start, even though you can this year seed only a small area. You can raise your own seed for further requirements, and there will be such a demand for this seed’ for years to come that this alone would make one of the most prof- itable crops possible to grow.
Bromus Inermis is not an experiment; it is a proven success, and it is to be hoped that this year every one who ean possibly do so—and who eannot if he tries ?—will get a start with the grass.
SOWING.—Bromus Inermis may be sown at any time of year when the ground is bare, but the pre- ferred season for sowing in the West is in the early spring, with or without a nurse crop, but is better sown alone. The seed is large and light and it has been generally supposed that it could only be sown by hand, but the special ‘‘Michigan Wheelbarrow Seeder” handles this and other grass seeds perfectly and rapidly, and we have arranged to make special prices on this seeder to those who purchase their seed from us.

many other points of excellence that distinguishes it and renders it a most valuable addition to the list of forages, and the claims are well founded which destines it to take front rank, if not lead of all the rest.

JAPANESE MILLET.
All things considered, we call this the most vaJu- able thing in our whole list of forage plants. It has been sold under different names, as ‘“RBillioa Dollar Grass,” “Steel Trust Millet,” etc., but they are all one and the same thing. We recommend it for the following reasons:
First—It makes more hay than German Millet or any other.
Second—Although it grows so large, sometimes seven or eight feet high, the hay is of most excel- lent quality, superior to corn fodder.
Third—It is adapted to all sections and a great success wherever tried. It does well on low ground.
Fourth—Two crops a season may be cut from it, or, if left to ripen, it will yield almost as many bushels of seed per acre as oats.
Fifth—It requires less seed per acre than any other millet, 20 to 30 lbs. being sufficient.
Sixth—It makes fine soilage, especially if mixed with Soja Beans or Sand Vetch.
Seventh—It is highly endorsed and reeommended by the United States Department of Agriculture, by all | eee Stations and by seedsmen gen- erally.
Be sure to order of us as we are headquarters. At our prices it is even cheaper than German Millet as it requires only one-half as many pounds to seed an acre. Therefore, the expense cannot stand in. the way of trying it this year. Do not be afraid of it because it is new. Treat it just exactly as you would German Millet, only sow it a little earlier for the best results. The latter part of May is about right. We know it will please you. Lb. 10c; pk. 50¢e; bu. $1.75.

ie RAPE=--True Dwarf Essex
One Acre of Rape will Pasture 20 Sheep for Two Months
DWARF ESSEX RAPE. Is an annual, bearing a clese resemblance in leaf and stalk to the Ruta Baga, but both leaves and stalks are more numerous in the Rape plant, and of a taller habit of growth. It is a pasture plant which may be eaten by any kind of live stock, but it is pre-eminently fitted to furnish pasture for sheep and swine. A good crop will fur- nish at least twelve tons of green food per acre and its nutritive value is nearly twice that of clover. One acre of well grown Rape will furnish pasture for ten to twenty head of sheep for two months, and in that time it will fatten them: in good form for the market. Dwarf Hssex Rape thrives best on a good soil, rich in vegetable matter. Slough lands are ex- cellent. This plant may be grown successfully in the following ways, viz: First—In the early spring to provide pasture for sheep and swine. Second—In June or July on well prepared land to provide pas- ture for sheep. Third—Along with grain, using two lbs. of seed per acre to provide pasture for sheep after harvesting. Fourth—Along with peas, oats, clover seed, to provide pasture for sheep, and to get a “catch” of clover. Fifth—Along with corn drilled in broadcast to provide pasture for sheep. Sixth— In corn, sowing the seed with the last cultivation given to the corn. Seventh—Along with rye sown in August in sheep pastures. When the Rape is sown broadcast, 5 lbs. of seed per acre will suffice. When sown in rows, say 30 inches apart, and culti- vated, from one to two to two lbs. will be enough. It is now being grown in the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. The day is not far distant when it will be grown extensively as a pas- ture for swine. Millions of sheep and lambs will be fattened on it in the United States. A director of one of the Agricultural Experiment Stations says:
-‘We had one-half an acre of Rape this year, which
gave an actual yield of nine and three-fourths tons, or at the rate of nineteen and one-half tons per acre.”

with suspicion upon all others, no matter under what name they appear. Some are worthless as fodder plants, while others are for the purpose of extorting a higher price from the buyer. We import our Dwarf Essex Rape seed every year from Essex County, Hngland, and know it to be genuine, and of the very best quality, which alone is a suffi- cient guarantee, worth much more than the price of the seed.

A wonderful new grain that is now attracting great attention. It is neither barley nor oats, but somewhere between the two, although it resembles wheat and when ground into flour is somewhat like rye flour. Thus it is a kind of combination grain. We believe it will prove of much value. For cen- turies past it has been grown in a limited way in Fastern Russia, its value not being known to the agriculturalists of the civilized world. An emigrant from there brought some to this country and has been growing it. A prosperous American farmer who lives near him secured sufficient seed from him to sow five acres and was surprised at the large crop. It yields more than barley or oats. He says that under the same circumstances it will produce double as much as barley. He has been feeding the grain quite exclusively and it is one of the best horse feeds known. The chaff adheres to the grain when threshed. It has given splendid satisfaction to all who have tried it. Will grow anywhere and will produce immense crops on poor soil; the dry weather appears to have no effect on it, and it can be raised and threshed like any other grain. Can be eut while green and used for fodder. If cured for hay it makes a better quality of hay than millet and out-yields it three-fold. Botanically it is known as Triticum Spelta, and is supposed to be the grain grown in Egypt in the time of Moses. Price, Ib. 10c; 4%. bu. dose; bus $1.25365 bur $5.50.

On account of the oat crop being so very poor ‘throughout the country we began very early stock- ing up with the best oats obtainable and now have a stock of 20,000 bushels of as fine a Lincoln Oats as ae ever grown. Send for samples.
. Improved Prize Cluster
THE EARLIEST OF ALL OATS. To maintain high-grade oats it is necessary to have a change of seed every few years so as to keep up our stand- ard of excellence, for oats grown on the same soil year after year gradually become light and chaffy. We have for the past five years been working up a stock of Prize Cluster Oats from the parent stock, of which the director of the Iowa Experimental Station spoke so highly. In his report he places Prize Cluster at the head of the list of all varieties tested, both for bulk of crop and weight per bushel. It is a white variety, with very large heads and heavy, plump grain, straw of medium growth, and entirely rust proof. In our selected Prize Cluster Oats we claim to have one of the best, heaviest and thinnest shelled oats in cultivation. Pk. 40c; bu. $1.00; 214 bu. $2.25; 5 bu. $4.50.
LINCOLN. After many years’ trial, has proved itself one of the most popular oats yet introduced. We call attention to the following special points of excellence: First—It is very productive, having in all instances yielded more to the acre than any other sort grown in the same locality, in one case having yielded 174 bushels from a single bushel of seed. Second—It is very early. Third—It has thus far proved itself rust-proof. Fourth—It stands up better than any other sort. Fifth—It is best for feeding on account of its thin hull, heaviness and soft nib. Sixth—It is best for oatmeal or grinding. Lb. 10c; pk. 35¢e; bu. $1.00; 5 bu. $4.50.
Canada Red Beauty Oats
Canada Red Beauty Oats mark such a distinct ad- vance over all other varieties, especially in point
of productiveness and strength of straw, as to set them apart and above all other oats. They are in a class of their own, and in the particulars above mentioned are not approached by any other oat. Lb. 10c; pk. 35¢e; bu. $1.00; 5 bu. $4.25.
PROBSTEIER OATS. This new and wonderful variety originated from Germany a few years ago. One of the most prosperous farmers of this state was fortunate enough to secure a few pounds of this wonderful oats, which he carefully planted and cared for. He was convinced that the oat would do well in this country and put the same to all sorts of tests, and it has proved to be the best oat for this Peete country. Lb. 10c; pk. 35c; bu. $1.00; 5

KHERSON OATS. Brought to America in 1900 by the University of Nebraska from the province of Kherson, Russia, with the idea of procuring an oat that would be hardy, a good yielder, and yet extra early. Small lots were sent out to farmers all over Nebraska and the tests have proven that the oats far exceed their highest expectations as to earliness, amount of yield, and ability to withstand our heavy winds and not lodge.
3 We have secured our stock seed from a grower in Douglas county who received his start from one of these small lots furnished him four years ago by the Experimental Station. The Kherson Oats when ripe are a beautiful yellow color, have fine, large sprangled or full heads which frequently con- tain more than 100 seeds. The stalk is stiff and does not lodge or rust. It has broad leaves, many of which are three-quarters of an inch wide; they extend to the roots and are so pliable that they stay on even through threshing. Unlike most heavy yielders these oats have a large grain with a very thin hull. Under favorable conditions they have
yielded as high as 95 bushels to the acre in Ne- braska. At the University Experimental Farm they made 74 bushels to the acre. Lb. 10c; pk. 35c; bu. $1.00; 5 bu. $4.50.

Seed Barley
MANSHURY. Is one of the very best six-rowed
barleys grown, with kernels plumper and fuller than
the best Scotch Barley, while for malting it is the very best known. It is early in ripening, which helps it to fill well, thus it is always plump. Lb. 10c; pk. 50c; bu. $1.50.
BLACK BARLEY. Weighing sixty-two pounds to the measured bushel. Wonderfully productive, and of great value for feeding and fattening cattle and hogs. It is exceedingly prolific, having yielded 180 bushels of shelled barley from two bushels of seed sown. Lb. 10c; pk. 50c; bu. $1.65.
White Hull-less Barley.
WHITE HULL-LESS BARLEY. A _ novelty in barley. Plump, heavy kernels, which, when threshed, are hull-less, like wheat kernels. Early, prolific, well filled heads.
Mr. D. C. Carpenter says: “I have grown 60 bushels to the acre, and it is the best grain to sow for hay that grows. Sow early and you can cut two crops from the same sowing. As fattening food for hogs it has no equal. It makes sweeter meat by far than corn. I fatted 20 hogs for one butcher, and made a gain of 106 pounds to the hog in five weeks. I find the best way to feed it is to grind it and feed dry, with clear cold water in another trough for them to drink out of. I have sown it as late as the 18th of June and made a good grain crop. It stools wonderfully.’’
We have a fine stock of this barley of our own growing. With us it grew strong and thirfty, was very early, stood up perfectly, and yielded as much or more than any other barley of the common bearded kinds around us. The field when headed out was a beautiful sight. This barley is very heavy and the kernels look like very large and plump wheat kernels. We recommend it as a novelty well worth trying. Sow only 1% bu. per acre. Price, pk. 50c; bu. (48 Ibs.), $1.60; 5 bu. $7.25.
NEW BEARDLESS BARLEY. All barley growers have experienced the annoyance occasioned — by the chafing and stick- ing of the beards while threshing. This nuisance has been overcome in the New Beardless Barley which is’ entirely free from beards. This barley is six-rowed, the straw grows to a good height, .
is stiff and strong, and does not readily lodge. The heads resemble smooth wheat, with the exception of a small duck bill on the point of each grain. This comes off readily in. threshing, leaving the threshed grain looking like any other white barley. Lb. 10c; pk. 50c; bu. $1.70.

Kaffir Corn.
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. It does well on poor land and yields well. It ripens a little earlier than the white variety, and yields much heavier. It is highly recommended by the Kansas Agricultural College at Manhattan. Lb. 10c; 100 lbs. $2.50.
WHITE KAFFIR CORN. It grows from four to five feet high, making a straight, upright growth. It has a stalky stem, with enormous wide leaves. The stalk keeps green and are brittle and juicy, not hardening like other varieties of sorghum, mak- ing excellent fodder either green or dried, which is highly relished by cattle, horses and sheep. 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 the second seed heads. For the grain sow in rows three feet apart, three to five pounds of seed to the acre. For fodder sow one-half to one bushel, either broadcast or in drills. Lb. 10c; 100 Ibs. $2.50.

Cane or Sorghum
Sorghum (or sugar cane) has attracted general attention. In the West, its great merit is not at all appreciated, and we wish to call the attention of farmers everywhere to the great value of Sorghum as a pasture and fodder crop, and to the particular advantage to be gained by growing it. Sorghum may be made to furnish the principal provender for eattle and horses from August until the following spring. AS a summer pasture for sheep, a wide field is likely to be opened up by it. As a soiling food for swine it is most excellent, and the seed fur- nishes a splendid food for fowls. It can be profit- ably grown everywhere, from the extreme north to the extreme south, and on any ground adapted to the growth of corn. It grows right along through the severest and most prolonged drouths, so that @ good yield may be expected from suitable soils in any seasons after the plants have secured a good start.

SOJA BEANS. The plants grow erect, averaging four and one-half feet in height. The stalk is strong and woody, and has numerous branches covered with heavy foliage. The branches and upper part of the main stem are thickly studded with clusters of pods—from two to five pods in a
eluster, each pod containing two beans. Can be cut for hay or used for grazing purposes. The beans should be sown a half bushel per acre broad- east, or planted in drills three and one-half feet apart, and one and one-half feet between the plants, dropping two or three to each hill, which will re- quire one gallon per acre. This variety of bean is sold largely as German Coffeeberries at a fancy price. Lb. 10c; 4% bu. 60c; bu. $2.00.

IT COSTS LESS THAN 15c AN ACRE TO USE OUR CAREFULLY SELECTED AND TESTED SEED CORN. IS IT WISE TO RISK DOUBTFUL CORN WHEN GOOD CORN IS SO CHEAP?
The varieties of field corn we offer are the best now in use. They were grown especially for seed purposes, and well matured, cured, carefully sorted by our seed corn experts, and shelled with great eare. The value of the corn crop of Nebraska alone would be increased two million dollars by an aver- age increase of one bushel per acre, and it has been demonstrated that the crop can be fully doubled by planting some of our improved varieties. We are in the center of the best corn growing country ef the world, where the soil and climate are pe- culiarly adapted to its culture, and now we can say
without fear of contradiction, that for the season of 1908 we have the best supply of seed corn ever offered by any seed firm in the world.
The necessity of planting the very best varieties is plain, and it will not pay you to experiment with the many sorts we have tried and found worthless, nor to purchase from unscrupulous dealers.
All of our seed corn is very carefully tested, and none is sent out that we are not certain will grow under proper conditions. We will mail samples for testing to prospective customers. If a large quan- tity is wanted ask for special prices.

Grand Champion Ear—Reid’s Yellow Dent.
REID’S YELLOW DENT. The great prize-winning Show Corn. Now the most popular and most uni- iformly distinct type of Yellow Dent for Northern Central Nebraska (in fact for the whole state) and Similar corn belts. Fifty years of careful selection has resulted in remarkable evenness in appearance of ears. It is more accurately described as follows: Har 9 to 10 inches long, 7 inches around, 18 to 24 rows with narrow space between rows; deep grains with small cob well filled at butt and tip. We offer a very choice selection of seed grown from pedigree seed selections for years—our stock. It has won first prizes at most all state fairs and corn shows.
The most famous ear of yellow corn in the world was bred, grown and harvested by Mr. D. L. Pascal, of DeWitt county, Iowa, and won the Trophy at the Iowa Agricultural College, January, 1907, and was awarded the premium for best ear of corn, any variety, raised in that state. At the International Corn Show this Grand Champion Ear of Corn was exhibited in a glass ease, and outclassed any other ear of corn at the show.
This ear of corn is 9% inches long; has twenty rows of kernels; is 7% inches around at a point three inches from the butt; has almost perfect butt and tip and all the qualifications to make it the best ear of corn according to all corn-judging standards. Prof. Holden of Iowa, and Prof. Shamel of the Department of Agriculture, both pronounced this to be the best ear of corn they had ever seen.
This ear of corn was brought to perfection in sixty years. It is strictly Reid’s Yellow Dent Corn —originated in 1842—and kept pure-bred and im- proved without crossing since the year 1846.
We have only 1,500 bushels of this variety. It
was grown with the view of breeding it up to an average size of ear eliminating barren and inferior stalks which produce only nubbins, and increasing the amount of OIL and PROTEIN in the corn for feed purposes. We believe in this corn we have corn in which two bushels will do as much towards developing farm animals as with an ordinary corn, 21% bu. will do. It ripens in 120 days easily.

GOLDEN ROW. Has been brought to its present standard by careful selection. The seed trade and large growers of field corn have for many years been anxiously inquiring for a _ large-eared, yet early Dent Corn, and to supply their wants we have for years been studying it up, and, until we got up this corn, were’ not fully satisfied. Many sorts have been tried and found wanting. In the Golden Row our customers will find a high-bred corn, of beautiful color, and one which will please them. We claim this corn has the largest number of rows on cob, and the deepest, longest grains of any corn ever originated, making the finest appearing shelled corn we ever saw, being a cast of golden yellow, and such corn as brings the highest price in the market; the ears well filled to the extreme tip of the cob with 10 to 14 regular rows. The cobs are unusually small for so large an ear, while the grains are of such re- markable size that when the ear is broken in half the grains will frequently equal in length the dia- meter of the cob. The richness of color and fine quality of the grains make it superior for grinding into meal. With us it requires 100 to 110 days to mature the crop, but the ears ripen well. The grain is easily shelled, though firmly attached to the cob. The stalks take firm hold on the ground, are strong and vigorous in growth, with abundant leafage, and attain a height of from ten to twelve feet in rich soil. It will out-yield any corn in this section. We cannot too highly recommend this corn to our ¢cus- tomers. We have grown thousands of bushels of other large varieties, and the Golden Row is from one week to one month earlier, growing side by side and planted the same week.

Golden West
The Best Yellow Dent Gorn Ever Orfrered
GOLDEN WEST. This is one of the most vigor- ous growing varieties that we know of. The stalk is of medium height, not as tall as Legal Tender, but very much thicker at the ground, short joined and has broad leaves which help to mature the large crop of corn which it produces. It is the deepest rooted corn that we know of and therefore not easily injured by hard wind storms nor are the roots so near the surface as to be broken off and the vitality of the plant sapped and weakened in cultivating the crop.
The ears have usually eighteen to twenty rows a little larger size than Legal Tender in an ordinary season. It is the most attractive appearing golden yellow corn that we know of, just as the Silver Mine is the most attractive and best white corn. There are many ears which measure eleyen inches in length and weigh one and one-half pounds con- taining 1,200 to 1,500 grains to the ear. The kernels are of such shape that they wedge in tightly and make a solid ear, not only at the cap but also down near the point or germ end (see cut of ear, section). This is a characteristic which is overlooked by many corn breeders, thus causing ears of ordinary varie- ties, which appear solid, to be of light weight. The germ contains more nutriment than any other part of the kernel and it should be plump and well filled out to insure good feeding value as well as vigorous plant growth.
The ear is solid, nearly uniform in size through- out its entire length, but gradually tapering off to a The ear shank is of medium length strong but not large; cob comparatively small and of such nature that it dries out rapidly thus in- suring a well matured crop, even during unfavor- able seasons. It matures in about 100 days, thus making it a safe corn to plant and we claim that it will yield a larger crop than any other yellow corn in existence.

LEGAL TENDER. With the exception of Ne- braska Gold Mine, we consider the Legal Tender the best variety of yellow Dent corn for Iowa, Illi- nois, Nebraska and the South. It is the result of about ten years selection by a seed corn specialist, and has taken first premium at many state and county fairs. The corn is very productive, of uni- form pure yellow color, ear very large and long and a deep grain on a small cob, while the stalk does not grow too large. The introducer says: “Our ideal ear is an ear two-thirds as large around as it is long, containing sixteen to twenty rows, and smaitl shank. The kernels are deep, the cob is small at the butt and the ear holds its bigness toward the point until near tapering off. It should be capped over and the kernels should hold their bigness to- ward the point and the butt run out straight and not crinkle.” It matures in about 155 days, but we do not recommend it for the extreme northern por- tion of this state.

Iowa Silver Mine Corn.
IOWA SILVER MINE. Stalks grow to a height of seven or eight feet and sets the ears about three and one-half to four feet from the ground, just the right height for easy picking. One peculiarity we noticed in going over the field was that there were no barren stalks, every one had an ear, many stalks had two good ears, and the originator says that that has been the characteristic every year that he has grown it. It has not a large growth of fodder, having been bred essentially for grain, though it has plenty of blades to support the growth, and it is as well rooted as any corn grown. The type is very even, so unusually so that in selecting the heads for exhibition, they can be taken just as they come in the field, with very few excep- tions. Hars measuring from ten to twelve inches in length and weighing one and one-half pounds are not uncommon. The ears are very uniform in size and shape, with sixteen to twenty straight rows (usually eighteen rows) of deep, pure white kernels, set on a small cob; and the ears are well filled out over the tip. It is early, matured last year in less than ninety-five days, and has never been caught

by frost. The cob dries out rapidly so that it is ready for market earlier than any white field corn in existence, fully two weeks earlier than Champion White Pearl. The originator claims that it is the only strictly pure white corn now on the market. In its yield it will surpass all other varieties of any color. Seventy lbs. of the corn in the ear will make sixty-two pounds shelled. It is adapted to a wider range of soil and. climate than any corn ever offered. Erom Minnesota to Florida, from Massa- chusetts to California, it will yield a paying crop where other varieties are grown at a loss. This grand corn was originated as follows:
In selecting over some unnamed white corn, one of the best seed corn experts in America found one ear which was of ideal shape, size and color. He planted it carefully in an isolated spot, and from the crop selected only one ear for planting the next season. He continued his careful selection of only the one best ear out of crops for five years, until the type was fully fixed. Lb. 5c; pk. 40c; bu. $1.25; 5 bu. $5.50.

COW PEAS are not exactly a Pea, but more prop- erly belong to the Bean family. It is a valuable fodder and fertilizing crop, and can be grown as a second crop after wheat in the north. The pods may be harvested for grain and the plants plowed under to fertilize the soil. The seed or grain is

These make a fodder and hay which in every case doubles the production of milk when fed to cows. The Canada Field Pea, which we sell at $1.90 per bushel, is the best for this purpose. They should be sown in April, two bushels of Peas and two bushels of Oats to the acre. The Peas should be sown first and plowed under about four inches deep; the Oats then sowed and harrowed in. They will be ready for cutting about July 1, when the Oats are in milk and the pods formed on the Peas.

Summer Cypress —- Glowing Ball Kochia Scoparia.
This is an annual and grows easily and quickly from seed sown in the open ground. It grows 2 to 2% feet high, with main slender branches pressed elose to the main stem. A singular feature of this plant is that it always keeps a globular form, even when very small, a row of them making a very striking object all through their growth. They are a beautiful, light, feathery green until September, when the whole plant becomes a solid mass of bright searlet flowers, the bushy plants resembling balls of fire. They should be planted at least 2 to 3 feet apart each way; or, the seed can be sown in masses, as in the fall of the year a solid mass of them is very handsome. Very highly recommended. Pkt.

For early outdoor bedding the seed is sown in August or September in a ecoldframe, setting them
to 38 inches apart each way. In the spring three-quarters of them can be lifted out for bedding and the rest left to bloom in the frame, covering the blooming plants with sash and covering this in severe weather but giving plenty of fresh air on mild days. The spring sowing should be made early. Seed sown in a cool, moist place in June will give flowering plants for fall: If they come into bloom in the heat of summer, the flowers will be small, but as the weather becomes cooler, they increase in size and beauty.

The object of Caponizing is to largely increase the weight of fowl, causing them in many cases to grow as large as turkeys and weighing from 10 to 15 pounds, and to make the meat a finer flavor and very juicy and tender.
In velvet-lined case as per engraving, $2.75. We send the book, “Complete Guide for Caponizing,” with every set.

58 BEE KEEPING SUPPLIES. BEE SUPPLIES :
We cannot urge too strongly on those of our customers who are raising fruit the advantages to be derived from keeping a few hives of bees. Actual experiments have preven that thorough pollination by bees will make a difference as great as fifty per cent in the yield of one orchard of apples, etc., over | another where no bees are kept, but otherwise under exactly similar conditions. Besides this the ad honey produced makes them a very profitable source of wealth in themselves. are the very best material, construction and workmanship throughout.

LATEST IMPROVED HOFFMAN FRAME
HALF DEPTH EXTRACTING FRAMES. These are made the same as the thin top bar Hoffman frame, and they are just deep enough to be used in a half story dovetailed super, and make elegant little extracting frames.
The frames here deseribed are all the L or Simplicity size, except the shal- low extracting frames. They measure outside 914x17%.
SECTION HONEY BOXES.
Section Holders
These are used in the Dovetailed and Telescope hives. The bottoms are 44 inch thick, 1% inches wide, with insets corres- ponding to those in the sections. The ends are 4%x1%x414. They

THE SIMPLICITY FRAMES. Cheapness is their only merit. THICK TOP L BROOD FRAMES. Have a heavy non-sagging
~~ top bar 3-16 inch deep by 1 1-16 inches wide. Otherwise like the
Hoffman frame except that it has straight end bars. HOFFMAN FRAMES. This is a fixed frame that is used
universally in the United States, and has become very popular, and which is easily manipulated. The end bars are enlarged toward the top. The peculiar merit of this frame is that it can be handled in lots of two, three or even four all at one time, and the same can be returned to the hive at one operation.
THIN TOP HOFFMAN. This frame has the following points of excellence: A strong wide top bar, a self-spacer, and cheap- ness. While there are some who want a self spacing frame they do not like to pay so high a price as asked for the thick top bar Hoffman. We believe there is more virtue in the width of the top bar, also that a top bar 1 1-16x% is sufficiently strong to prevent sagging. They have comb guides. They are the best and cheapest.

The price is. as
With lamp, $1.00; without lamp, 70c. Complete di- Tections with each machine.
THE PARKER FOUNDATION FASTENER. This is a very handy little machine for putting comb foundation starters in sections. They cost but lit- tle, and one with a little practice put in 500 starters an hour with them. Each 25c.
Section Presses
THE HIGGINSVILLE. This machine is a marvel in its way for a low priced section press. By a simple lever action it squares the section and locks the corners. All you have to do is to screw it fast to a bench or other upright and it is ready for use. Each, 50ce.
THE HUBBARD SECTION PRESS. Each $2.50.
Honey Extractors
If there is any one thing that is more essential to the successful manipulation of bees, aside from a good bee smoker, we would say that one thing is a good honey extractor. If you have but ten colonies of bees it would pay you to have a honey extractor.
Indeed it would pay for itself in one good season,
as oftentimes the brood combs become so filled with honey that the queen is crowded for room and this honey should be extracted, and could be sold in the extracted form, or used in feeding back for com- pleting partly filled sections. By all means don’t overlook this most useful, of all useful, implements.

Bee Smokers
Everyone keeping bees, should it be but one eol- ony, needs a bee-smoker. A little smoke puffed in ~ at the entrance of a hive before opening it, causes the bees to fill themselves with honey, and with their honey sacs well filled, they become so docile as to be handled almost without risk of stinging.

«Planet Jr.”’ Garden Tools
“PLANT JR.” NO. 6, HILL AND DRILL SEEDER, WHEEL HOE, CULTIVATOR AND PLOW. This new seeder sows in hills as rapidly as in drills. It saves much seed by its extremely regular work, and uniformity is one of the prime conditions necessary to produce a large yield.
THE WHEEL is 16% inches high, making an easy running tool. The spokes and rim are steel, and the construction is substantial.
THE FEED. This is the most accurate that we have ever sent out; the part of the hopper in which the feed wheel revolves is machine-turned and the feed wheel is also turned to fit the hopper. The out- side is also machined, so that the cut-off works smoothly and accurately.
SEEDING. The accuracy of construction insures unexcelled work in both hill and drill seeding, as is shown conclusively by careful comparisons with the best work of our regular drills, which have long been favorites among Gardeners all over the world.
HILL DROPPING. The device used for this purpose is made of steel, which is at once light, strong and quick acting, and the hills are of a superior character. It drops 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 inches apart, and the change from hill to drill or vice versa, can be made in a few seconds.
THE INDEX is of new design, accurately adjustable by means of a brass thumb screw, and in open view from between the handles.
A HANDY CUT-OFF is within easy reach of the thumb and forefinger of the right hand, so that no seed need be lost either in stopping or starting. Price, complete, $14.00; as a seeder only, $11.50.
“PLANET JR.’”’ NO. 1 COMBINED DRILL WHEEL HOE, CULTIVATOR AND PLOW. It has a com- plete set of cultivating tools, and all its work is rapid, easy, perfect and delightful. When used as a drill the seed is sown with great regularity and at uniform depth, regulated at pleasure. The hop- per holds, one quart. From a drill it is changed into its other uses by unscrewing: but two bolts, ; S : when any of the tools can be quickly attached. SS) ay cig
Price, $11.00. “Planet Jr.,, No. 3, Hill-Dropping Seeder.
“PLANET JR.” NO. 3 HILL DROPPING SEEDER. This drill will sow in a continuous row in the ordinary way, with greatest regularity; but its distinctive feature is that it will drop nearly in hills, either 4, 6, 8, 12 or 24 inches apart. Price, $11.00.
: “PLANET JR.” NO. 4, COMBINED SEEDER AND ‘CULTIVATOR. The latest improvement. We have personally tested this machine and it has apparently so many good points that we offer it with confidence. Price, $11.50; as a drill only, $9.50.

NO. 25, COMBINED HILL AND DRILL SEED- ER AND DOUBLE WHEEL HOE CULTIVATOR AND PLOW. :
This new combined, machine is intended for a class of gardeners who have a large enough acreage in crops for a Double Wheel Hoe to be used to good advantage, and yet prefer not to buy a separate W heel Hoe. It is large enough for field use, for it holds 2% quarts (or about 5 Ibs. of onion seed) and has 11%4-inch wheels—which are just the right size.

Nitrate of Soda, or Chili Saltpeter
Nitrate of Soda is not a substitute for other ma- nures, but we recommend it as the cheapest and best form in which to apply Nitrogen to plants. Gard- eners who are using farm manure should continue
to use it, but use Nitrate of Soda in addition to other fertilizers. If your object is to grow maximum crops you must in some way furnish the plants with nitrate. No matter what manure or fertilizer is used the Nitrogen must be converted into Nitrate before the plants can use it.
How To Use Nitrate of Soda.
