i POVeCW SroOME Sie
Y SEEDS are all of my own growing and importing and I take the greatest care in their
production to have them pure and_-true to name, testing everything before selling, making
a thorough business of it and never send out anything that does not grow; this, taken
in connection with the system of furnishing the best stock seeds and carefully watching the crops,
gives my customers the most ample protection. The seeds I offer in this catalogue are of the very
best sorts and strains to be obtained ; they comprise all the best and standard kinds and the new
varieties of value which will pay customers to try. My long experience in the business of grow-
ing, handling and importing enables me to furnish seeds which will always give the best of satis-
faction. My prices are as low as a strictly choice quality can be sold at. Poor or cheap seeds are dear at any price and would not pay to plant if you get them for nothing.
Thanking you for your patronage during the past, I trust for a continuance of the same this season.
How to Order.—In writing out your order, do it as plainly as possible, and be sure to sign »2ur name distinctly, giving post-office address, county and State, in full, and also express office, for many times it is better to send by express than by mail. Each year we have orders we cannot fill because they are uzs¢gned. Make your order out as soonas possible. It will be an advantage to you and a favor to us. ;
How to Remit.— Send money by post-office or express money order, registered letter or draft. We guarantee the safe arrival of money sent in this way. Postage stamps received as cash when notes are not obtainable, or to make proper change. (Two-cent stamps preferred.)
We Pay the Postage to all parts of the United States on the seeds mentioned in this Cata- logue in packets, ounces and pounds, without adding anything to the list price, except where specially noted.
Remember, the Mail and Express bring Our Store to Your Door.
It costs no more to buy of us from a distance than if you came into our store and purchased seed over our counter.
Please observe that though we prepay the postage on seeds, as above stated, we make no ad- dition to our Catalogue price to cover this outlay. Peas, Beans, Sweet and Field Corn, when ordered by mail, five cents per pint and ten cents per quart must be added to the price list for one-half the postage, and for Ozzon Sets eight cents per quart, and for Azrd Seed fourteen cents per quart.
We fill Orders Promptly.—We aim to fill orders and dispatch them immediately after receipt, unless some special cause prevents, in which case acknowledgment is made and explanation given. Where no shipping instructions are given, we send by the best route we know of. Packages too large to send by mail we shall send either by express or freight. We fill an order for ten cents’ worth of seed with the same promptness and care as one for fifty dollars. We guarantee the safe arrival of all packages.
We Test.—All our seeds are thoroughly tested before we sell them, in a most careful manner, and only those that grow well do we send out. This, in connection with our system of having to do only with the dest stocks and carefully watching the crops, affords ourselves and customers the best protection possible.
My long experience for the past 42 years in the growing, selecting and improving of stocks enables me to supply customers with seeds that cannot be surpassed.
We do not warrant seed, because, as is well known, so many causes may, and often do, pre- vent the best seeds from growing and producing crops, from no fault in the seeds. We, therefore, in common with all other reliable seedmen, wish it distinctly understood that, while we exercise very great care to have all seed pure and reliable, we sell no seeds with warranty, express or im- plied, in any respect, and will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the seeds on these terms they must be returned at once, and the money that has been paid for the same will be refunded.

FLOWERING PLANTS AND VINES.

earth has to be almost entirely removcd, the plants are small and it takes some time for them to revive, and they often perish. We can supply the latest and best varieties of the following varieties, besides many other kinds.
Begonias. Chrysanthemums. Geraniums. Cannas. Coleus. Heliotropes. Carnations Crotons. Palms.

dry. Seedlings should be set in rows three feet apart each way. Pr pkt Proz Green :Globe®.5 ee Ee ee $0.10 $0 30 ASPARAGUS.
Sow the seed in the Spring as early as the ground will permit, in rows one foot apart. Soak the seed twenty-four hours in warm water. Cover about 14% inches, and press the earth down by treading or rolling. Carefully hoe and keep free from weeds. When two years old trans- plant to permanent beds, no base being required. Plow or dig the ground 9 or 10 inches deep. Set in rows 12 inches apart and 15 inches between the rows.

Sow as early in the Spring as the ground can be worked, in a rich light soil, well manured with old fine manure and thoroughly worked very deep. Freshstable manure is likely to make them fork and branch. Land that was heavily manured the previous season is the best.

Should be sown very early in the spring, in open ground or in the hot bed. When 8 inches high, transplant 4 inches apart into a rich, finely pulverized soil. If the weather is dry, press the earth well around the roots. Water and protect till well rooted; shear off tops once or twice to make them stocky, then trans- plant into rows 3 or 5 feet apart, in well manured shallow trenches, or on the surface, setting the plants 6 inches apart. To blanch, draw the earth around the plants.
Packets of each variety, 5 cents.
Pr oz Pr lb Selected White Plume. A half dwarf variety, very crisp, tender. Inner leaves and keart white. To blanch, close the stalks and draw the soil up, using great care not to get the earth in the center or heart of the stalk, as it will tend to keep it from making a perfect head. It should not be handled when wet with dew or rain, as it will cause it to rust. It isa fine variety for early use, as it

CAULIFLOWER.
Should be sown in hot-beds in February, trans- planted into another frame in the latter part of March, and in May planted out in rows 8 feet apart, 2 feet between plants. Any good cabbage soil will grow cauliflower, as their requirements are almost similar. If the weather is dry, water freely. The targe leaves should be broken down over the flower head as they appear, to keep the sun and rain from injuring them. Can also be sown in the open ground during May and transplanted same as cabbage in July.

Onions should be sown in drills 1 inch Hiker and 12 to 16 inches apart, in rich, loamy soil, deeply dug
and lightly rolled. It is better to have land that has been used for hoed crops for a year or two, and has N IO NS been well manured, If the requisite amount of manure is put on all at once it is apt to make the bulbs soft. Is manured gradually the land cannot be made too rich. The manure, however, should not be
rank, but should be well fermented. Ground bone or superphosphate may be used, but if they are, they should be well applied, partly when the crop is sown and partly asthe bulbs begin to form. It is advisable to use a seed drill in planting first testing the regulator upon a floor to see if it allows the seeds to pass out in proper proportion. From 4 to 6 pounds to the acre is usually sown. Ifthe drill used has no roller, a hand roller should be passed over the ground immediately after sowing. As soon as the onions are up so that the rows can be seen, they should have the first hoeing, just skimming the ground between the rows. After a few days they should be hoed close up to the plants and weeded. This must be done thoroughly. In about two weeks another hoeing and weeding should be given, and in two weeks more still another.

I have this season listed a few varieties of the leading sorts of the many kinds of Potatoes now claiming public attention, which were grown especially for seed on new ground in the north of Michigan, and are entirely free from rot, scab or disease. They are true to name, clean and smooth, and will be very desirable to plant as they will insure earlier and better-sized crops than could be had from any grown about here. The prices quoted are low considering the very fiae stock which I offer. Of late years much attention has been paid to the improvement of the existing sorts of Potatoes and the introduction of new kinds. There is no more economical investment than money paid for improved varieties; changing your seed will be sure to improve your crop and produce a much better quality and larger yield. In this way you will be more than repaid for the money expended. I would suggest that those of my customers who want new seed Potatoes send their orders early, as the stock is limited and cannot be replaced, Prices are liable to variation as the season advances and our stock becomes exhausted,
Barrels contain 165 pounds of potatoes,

RADISH.
Sow early varieties in the Spring, as early as the ground can be worked, in drills ten inches apart, covering the seed half an inch deep; thin the plants to an inch apart inthe row.

FOR THE LAWN.
PRICE & REED’S FINE MIXED LAWN GRASS is composed of a mixture of the best varieties of fine swarding grasseu, @pecially adapted for seeding down lawns, door-yards, cemetery lots, etc.,in this climate. It makes a short top and strong root.and when grows Produces a soft, compact, velvety turf. A,beautiful lawn can only be had by using a good mixture of grasses. By using our mixture and cutting eften, when grown, a beautiful green sward can be obtained. We have made this mixture a careful study, and it has given great satisfactiom, Before sowing, the soil should be thoroughly Dis on by digging and raking so as to completely pulverize it; ali stones and roots should be removed and, if low, ought to be drained. nless the ground is very rich, some fertilizer should be applied. Lawn Dressing or sh manure is the best, as it helps the yrass wonderfully toa quick, vigorous Startand causesit to retain a bright green color Sow the grass thiokly 24 gake well in, not too deep, ana roll if possible. With ht sown later than April or May, it is often well to sow a little oats, to protect it from the heat of thesun. Witha little care a much finer grass plat can be obtained than by sodding.

It is of great benefit to use a roller on the lawn, especially in the Spring, as the action of the frost causes the groum@ to heave and become uneven. [If it is not firmly pressed back with a roller before hot weather the grass is apt to be injured or killed, leaving the lawn full of bare spots. These Rollers have weights attached to axle and have round edges.

It will last for many years, shooting its tough and fibrous roots downwards to the depth of 10 to 20 feet below the surface till they are out of reach of drought. In the driest weather it will hold up its stems fresh and green when others droop for want of moisture. After it has become well set it can be cut three or four times in one season. It yields enormously after the first oan 6 to 8 tonsof dry hay being reported as an average yield. The thicker it is sownthe finer and better the hay will be; 20 to 25 lbs. of seed should be sown on an acre.

PULVEBIZED SHEEP MANURE. Pure sheep manure is the best and strongest in fertilizing and enriching elements of all nature’ s fertilizers, containing, as it does, nitrogen, phosphoric acid, ammonia and potash in liberal proportions, It is three times stronger than cow manure. The only pure sheep manure is limited to where sheep are kept in large quantities under cover and where all the excre- ment can be gathered and cared for daily. The stock yards of the West are the largest in the world, five million sheep come to them yearly and are keptir great barns until shipped or killed. The manure, which is never exposed to the weather, has no chance to leach or lose its strength, and is gathered each day, where it is prepared for use It is carefully selected, shredded, kiln dried, pulverized. screened, passed over strong magnets and packed in bags ready for shipment This process removes foreign substances, takes out the moisture and reduces it toa pulverized form which is easy to handle, convenient toship. It is highly concentrated and the most efficient and practical of all fertilizers. One or two hundred pounds of pulverized sheep manure carefully used will go farther than several wagon loads of ordinary stable manure; therefore effects-a radical economy in labor of handling, and giving better results. for the Lawn it is one of the best possible fertilizers, as it has no odor and requires no raking in after itis applied. or Golf Greens itis an ideal fertilizer; by applying about once a month the grass will respond quickly, thicken up and become a beautiful color. For Garden use there is nothing better, turning under in the spring and using two or three times while the crop is growing. It can also be used as a liquid manure, using about two pounds to about five gallons of water and can be used in this way when piants need watering. or Trees or Shrubs, applied in spring and through the summer, will give the foliage a much better color and cause them to grow more vigorous. For a Hoe crof, corn or potatoes, it can be used either broadcast or in the hills, using about two handfuls inthe hill. For Gardener's use it is the best fer- tilizer in existence. producing better and earlier crops of Onions, Celery and other vegetabies than any other fertilizer or manure in use, % lb, 50 Ibs., 100 Ibs. or ton lots,

@nnuals, fHiennials and Perennials,
— AND —
DIRECTIONS FOR THEIR USE.
Annuals are plants which, raised from seed, perfect the flowers, ripen their seed and perish the same season. There are some, such as Verbena, Eschscholtzia and others, cultivated as annuals, that are only such ina northern climate, being in their own congenial region bien- nials and perennials.
Biennials are those which grow the first season, flower the next, and then die. They may sometimes be induced to flower for two or three successive seasons, by preventing them from going to seed.
Perennials are those which live and continue to blossom several years. If planted very early in borders, or brought forward in windows or hot-beds, they will bloom the first season. Many of them are hardy enough to stand the coldest of our Winters, dying down every season, and eoming up in the Spring from the old roots,
CULTURE.
Mardy Annuals, or most of them, may be sown out of doors in April or May, in the Middle and Eastern States, and some of the hardiest the last week in March, if the ground is in a condition to work, but the time for sowing seeds varies with the latitude. It is well to start some yarities iN pots or pans in the house, and transplant them when the weather permits, as a succession of bloom is thus obtained; those started out of doors coming on Jater. Any shallow pot or pan will do for starting seed, provided there is good drainage at the bottom, so that superfluous water canescape. Free access of air is very important, and this is inter- fered with by an excess of water in the soil. In planting out of doors, sow the seed evenly on borders of finely pulverized earth, leveled off, covering not over an eighth of aninch; press gently down witha board, shade from the sun, and water when necessary with a fine rose. When large enough transplant into a good mellow soil. They will, if sown in August and September, grow sufficiently large to stand the Winter, but should be protected by a slight covering of litter or straw. Transplant In the Spring and they will produce very early flowers. Hal/-hardy kinds, being more tender, will not bear hard frost, and should not be sown in the open ground before the middle of May. Tender Annuals can hardly be brought to perfection without starting in the house or hot-bed. They can be started in March and April, in pans or pots of well-pulver- ized soil. Sow thinly, place in a gentle heat, and shade from the sun till well up, after which place near the glass, giving a little air on fine days; when strong, pick out insmall pots, giving the same treatment as before till well established, Transplant when large enoughand out of all danger of frost, Will do well if sown in open ground the first of June.
Biennials and Perennials may be sown in the Spring as early as annuals—they need the same treatment, and should be planted out the following Autumn in situations where they are to flower. Can only be sown in the Autumn, selecting as cooland damp a bed as possible, keep- ing the ground shaded and moist by frequent waterings until plants appear.
Green-house Seeds should be sown in pots or pans half full of drainage; cover this with rough siftings of mould, and the surface with fine soil, moisten, using a fine rose. Sow seeds evenly over the surface, cover very lightly, keeping from the rays of the sun until the plants show the third leaf,then transplant into seed pans three-fourths of aninchapart keeping them under a frame until perfectly recovered, giving a little air to strengthen them. As soon as they begin to touch each other, trans- plant into small pots and keepin acool, airy part of the green-house near the glass, repotting them when necessary.
Soil. The preparation of the soil, especially for sowing the smaller kinds of seeds, is of the greatest importance,the success or failure depend- ing largely upon it. A mellow loam, which is a medium earth between the extremes of clay and sand, made rich with leaf mould,and ¢boroughlye rotted manure, well mixed and made fine, form a light, friable soil, through which young plants can easily penetrate, and which will not
bake in the sun after watering. If the soil is heavy, add more leaf or sod mould, or manure in proportion; but always remember that the fertilizer must be well rotted, and, as well as the soil, thoroughly pulverized.
Sowing. Most seeds are planted toodeep. From this cause they often fail to grow, and the seed is pronounced worthless. Great care should be taken in sowing. As a rule, coyer only to the depth of the thickness of the seed, but plain, large seeds, like Sweet Peas, Morning Glories, Lupins, etc., one inch; Asters, Balsams, etc., one-half inch; Coxcombs or Celosias, etc., one-quarter inch. Place the finest seeds on the surface, having first pressed the earth down firmly, merely dust them over with a little earth and gently press down with a smooth board. In dry weather be sure to water every evening. When the plants first appear above ground, protect them from the direct rays of thesun.
In Planting, remember that soaking in warm (not hot) water will greatly hasten vegetation of Cypress Vine, Canna, and other hard- shelled seeds, which are very slow to germinate. The ground should be kept free from weeds, and the earth should often be loosened, so that the plants may have the benefit of the rains and dews.
Hot-bed for Seedlings. In making a hot-bed the preparation of manure is a matter of import- ance,andit should be well worked previous to being used, if the bed be expected to re- tain its usefulness : b . : for any length of time. If obtained fresh, and found to be too dry, it should be well watered and thrown lightly together to ferment; this will take place in a few days, and from three to four days afterward it should be completely turned, shaken and mixed ; a second turning may be required, although one is usually sufficient. When thus cleaned of rankness the bed can be made. The place should be chosen where it is dry underneath, sheltered from the north as much as possible, and fully exposed tothe sun, It should be built up from two feet six inches to four feet high, and wider by six inches every way than the frame to be placed upon it. The manure should be well shaken and mixed while being put together, and firmly pressed by the feet. The frame should be placed on this and kept close until the heat rises, and three or four inches of sifted sand or light soil placed on the surface of the bed, In a few days it will be ready for use; but air should be given night and day while there is any danger from the rank steam. If the sand or soil are drawn away from the sides of the bed, they should be replaced. When the hot-bed is used for seed only, nothing further is necessary. Seeds should be sown in pots or pans, and plunged or placed in the bed, the heat of which will soon cause them to germinate ; as this will after some time decline, a lining should be added, that is, fresh, hot, fer- mented, but not rank manure, applied about a foot in width all around the bed ; this will renew its strength.
*: NN
Cold Frames are formed by placing an ordinary hot-bed frame upon a bed of light, rich soil in some warm, sheltered place in the garden, where it will be protected from cold winds. They should both be shaded from the sun by mats during the middle of the day and covered at night.
In Watering, use water that has been long enough exposed to the air to have acquired its temperature, or some that has been correspond- ingly tempered by artificia} means; distribute in the evening through a fine rose, for thus it will meither disturb the soii over the growing seed, nos injure the buds and expanding foliage of either the young or old plants.

; GLADIOLUS are great favorites. They are of very easy culture and succeed well in sandy loam.
If strong manures are used in the soil, it causes the colors of the flowers to run into each other, and gives them an indistinct appearance. They can be planted singly, in groups orin beds. Plant from 2 to 4 inches deep, according to size of bulb, and as they grow up, tie to a light stake about 23g feet high. Should be taken up when frost has killed the leaves, dried in the sun, the stalks cut off aninch from the root. Keep them in a warm, dry cellar through the winter.

TUBEROSES.
The most satisfactory of all the Summer blooming bulbs. Each bulb sends upa stalk about three feet high that throws from twenty to thirty flowers, and each flower may be said to bea bouquet in itself, so sweet and fragrant are they. They require a warm, rich soil, and a long season, Pot in February or March, and in the latter part of May transfer the plant into open ground. They can be planted in open ground as soon as danger of frost is over, When planted from the first to the middle of May, ina warm, sunny location, they should produce flowers early in July. Before potting remove all the off-shoots or little bulblets and the dry roots, which, if not done, is
apt to prevent blooming. Ea, Pr. doz.

well. Spray, not sprinkle, until all the leaves are moistened (if possible),
and until the solution begins to drip from the trees.
WHEN TO SPRAY.—The time of making the application |
varies with the season. As a rule, when the insects first appear, or if the orchard fruits; for the more common insects, just before the fruit- buds open, and just after the blossoms fall. when in blossom,
With the special pumps and prepared insecticides now on the market, the labor of successfully combating nearly all injurious insects is very easy to what it was formerly. Science has now perfected insecticides which do not wash off when thoroughiy dried on the leaves, which is a boon to the fruit grower. Among these we find Aiboneta, one of the very best. This insecticide is growing in popularity each year, and is now used exclusively in many of the largest parks in the country. For plant lice and soft-bodied sucking insects we have a specially prepared | soap, also remedies for scab and blight. and most complete line of insecticides. pumps, hose and nozzles, is most complete. and trees from disease and insect attacks. all goods sold by us.

| THE POPULAR ORCHARD SPRAYER.
Never spray a tree |
It is estimated by the highest scientific authorities that the annual
Loss IN crops from injury by insects and fungi amounts to about $500-
| coo,000 and that 75 per cent. of the amount, or $375,000,000, can be saved by SPRAYING THE TREES.
Not only is the rrurr injured. but the Trees will, if not sprayed intwo | or three years, gradually die from the insects which weaken them so they will perish. It is therefore a NECESSITY to SPRAY, not only to preserve the fruit, but the TREES themselves.
Proper Spraying Apparatus are very necessary to every Fruit Grower and will pay for themselves many times over, The one great thing which is absolutely necessary is an efficient agitator, without this, not only do the valves and nozzles become clogged, but the poison settles at the bottom’ of the barrel. This causes an uneven application of the liquid. it being too strong at the beginning, which will be apt to
"Ss. | damage the foliage, and at the close so weak it will be worthless, like
spraying with clear water. Our New Automatic Agitator keeps the water in a perfect boil by the working of the agitator. It is impossible for the poison to settle, but it is thoroughly mixed with the water, which is churned into a froth as soon as you commence pumping. This pump can be easily placed on an oil or whiskey barrel, as it has an adjustable attachment to fit top or side of any barrel.

LAYING MASH is a palatable and highly nutritious balanced ration, ready for making the daily mash, it is manufactured to meet demand of poultrymen, who, as a result of experience with mash foods manufactured from by-products and inferior or damaged grain, under- stand the importance of using foods produced from perfectly sound ES ES SS 7 grains mixed in proportions to insure the best possible results.
oR ANIMALS At atlD 5 pouLIR CHICK FOOD is a mixture of different grains and seed, so propor- Sune (are FOR GAPE? pnp FOWL (MOLERA) ioned to the needs of the growing chick that it will be fu/ly nourished. Most feeding stuffs contain too much fat-forming and not enough flesh and muscle forming elements; in consequence the chick developes indigestion and diarrhoea, which ultimately means no digestion at all, and the chick soon starves to death.
SCRATCH FOOD is composed of different grains and should be scattered in the litter the first thing in the morning and at noon, this gives the fowls plenty of exercise, which ensures good digestion and maintains health.
WHAT PRATTS POULTRY FOOD WILL DO. It cures chicken cholera, gapes, worms, rheuma- tism, and all diseases. It produces bones, muscles and feathers. It makes the comb red, feathers lay smoothly, eggs fertile, and makes larger fowl. Molting fowl when fed Pratts Poultry food pay largely by their early laying qualities. Also, young chickens grow quickly, healthy, and free from all diseases. .
It will increase the quality of eggs and make hens lay regularly.
Turkeys become robust and healthy. The numerous diseases young turkeys are subject to are never known where Pratts Poultry Food is fed. For fattening poultry, hogs, cattle and sheep there is nothing so quick and satisfactory as Pratts Food. It makes animals and poultry healthy, fatten quickly and their meat juicy and tender-eating.

FERTILIZERS.
Pure Pulverized Sheep Manure.
Nothing can equal this for LAWNS, PLANTS, and Gardens, as it is the strongest of all natural
manures, chemical analysis showing it to contain a higher per cent of fertilizing ingredients—ammonia, phosphoric acid and potash—than in any animal fertilizer in use. It is sterilized to kill all foul seeds and ground fine. It is clean, easily and quickly applied, has no unpleasant odor, will not kill or burn the grass like the commercial fertilizers, will not sow a crop of noxious weeds for you like Barnyard or Stable manure to fill your lawns, It is immediate in its effect and lasting.
A beautiful Lawn is a great attraction to a home and as the constant growing and cutting of grass will exhaust the soil it makes it necessary to enrich it in order to keep your lawn in a state of perfection. To do this some use Barn Manure, which is bulky, unsightly and introduces seeds of obnoxious weeds and grasses.
A few dollars spent in Sheep Manure will not only give you a beautiful lawn, but will preserve it and be a saving of money
in the long run, as it is pure and of full strength, is easily
handled, odorless and perfectly safe to use on grass, or the most sensitive plants. This makes it the most economical food for lawns and plants that it is possible to obtain.
FOR GARDENS, dig into the soil when sowing the seed or setting out plants and it will promote a rapid strong growth of flowers or vegetables.
FOR YOUNG TREES or BUSHES, it makes the finest mulch, after watering it becomes a very strong solution, soaking the roots thoroughly with a needed food and they will show the good effects in a very few days after using.
FOR PLANTS and FLOWERS, it is the most nutritious food that can be applied, as a liquid dressing using five pounds to five gallons of water and may be used with’ perfect safety, or sprinkle it dry around the plants, working it into the ground. Remember, it will not injure the most sensitive plant but will produce healthy plants, with rich blossoms.
DIRECTIONS. Sprinkle thickly over the grass early in the Spring and once or twice in the Summer or any time during the growing season, using about 100 lbs to 2000 square feet, or to a space of 50 feet one way by 45 feet the other; 50 lbs will cover 25 by 23 feet. If the season is dry, wet itdown or sow just before rain. If you have only a small place it is well to buy a bag, as you can use it on your grass and gardens, early and through the season as it keeps in good condition and is convenient to have on hand. Bag of 100 Ibs., $2.25; 50 lbs., $1.50; 25 Ibs., smallest bag sold, 75 cents. Special price on ton lots.
NITRATE OF SODA — Is valuable solely for the Nitrogen it contains, and is used chiefly as astimulant to force slow-growing grass or backward crops. It is quick in its action, forcing the plantsalong to maturity, and can be used alone or mixed with some sortof fertilizer. It should be applied twice; as soon as the plants are through the ground, or about an inch high, and again in twoor three weeks, as it is all absorbed by the plants and soil in ten days totwo weeks. 5 1b, bag, 25; 10 lb. bag, 50.
HIGH GRADE FERTILIZERS is very high in Ammonia, Nitrogen Phosphoric Acid, and must not be classed with the low grades often’ called by the same name, but undesirable to grow good crops. In buying fertilizers it is better to buy one bag of high grade goods than two'bags cf low grade or cheap, as the one bag of good will go just as far and do just the same workas the two bags of the cheaper sort, itis fine for vegetable garden's. 51b. bags, 25; 10 lb. bags, 50; 25 Ib. bags, $1.00; per hundred $3.50; ton $38.00.

DRY BORDEAUX AND PARIS GREEN COMPOUND. A Fungieide, Insecticide and Plant Food
This compound has a successful record of years, and the sale is increasing every season. Itkills potato bugs and all plant-eating insects, prevents blight and rust. Keeps potato and tomato vines and other foliage in a green and vigorous condition, preserving
-=¥ vines until fully matured, and insures full and healthy crops. Paris Green has been { en known as the best insecticide for years, Bordeaux the best fungicide. It is a well-known es = fact that if no disease appears, Bordeaux Mixture will increase the yield and make the work profitable ; so when applying this compound for the destruction of insects a stimu- lant is being applied at the same time to the vines. It is a preventive of blight when applied early or any time during the season, but not a cure after the blight has struck the crop. It is easy to apply and will stick well to the foliage, and will not burn. Can be applied dry or mixed with water. The last few years have proven that Paris Green used alone has a tendency to blight, but when applied with the Bordeaux Mixture the Bordeaux ‘will prevent it from blighting, and also keep the vines in a healthy condition throughout the season. Fer pound, 25 cents, or 5 pounds for $1.00.

GA R D E N E R S Many men apply to us for situations as gardeners, and many persons ask us if we can get gardeners for
e them. For the benefit or these two classes we wish to say that when a man applies fora situation we ask his mame, address, age, nationality, whether he is married or single, whether he has children, their ages, and obtain all the information we thinkessential, The cases are very rare in which we recommend a gardener toan employer. The most we can dois to give his references and let the employer find out about him for himself. The labor is entirely gratuitous on our part, so we cannot take any responsibility. Wedo not
however, enter on our books the name of any gardener whom we have reason to believe to be an undesirable man.
