New Orleans, La. — TO COUR FRIENDS AND PATRONS —~_~—S-— Again we have the pleasure of greeting our many customers through the medium of our annual catalog, which we have endeavored to improve over all past issues. It may be needless for us to tell our many permanent customers of the quality of our Seeds, Plants and Bulbs; but, to those who receive this catalog, and who have never used our goods, we ask a trial order. We will catalogue only standard and such other varieties of vegetable seeds as have been thoroughly tested by us and have proven particularly adapted to the climate and conditions of the great South and Southwest; other varieties that have proven of little value in this section will not be listed. The numerous letters we have received from customers pleased with the results of their seeds is evidence that our efforts to secure good seeds and up-to-date varieties are meeting with marked success. That our zeal to advise the amateur grower and the new colonist what to plant, when to plant and how to plant, has been of great benefit, is proved by many who have written to us of their success with our seeds and our advice. Nowhere in the world is there such necessity for competent, intelli- gent seedsmen as in the great Southern country, because of the diversity of climate, of soil, and of local conditions. | TO THE BEGINNER.—We request that beginners and new-comers con- sult us either by letter or in person when additional information and advice is wanted other than is contained in these pages. Always give your local conditions of soil and climate, and whether a market gardener or amateur. All inquiries will command prompt attention. SEEDS WE OFFER.—As to the seeds we offer, we assure you that the utmost care is exercised to secure only reliable and true to name seed. We have devoted much time and attention to learning the varieties of garden and field crops suited to each locality. This information will often be found of great service to intending planters. | We do our part faithfully, and we will help you do yours, if you will let us help you select the varieties suited to your soil, climate, time and purpose. Then it is up to you to do good gardening, plant the seed prop- erly, care for the young plants, cultivate, and keep out all weeds, and do not blame the seed if after it is properly planted, a rain comes along, soaks the ground, and the sun bakes it so the seed cannot grow, or if the plants start nicely and suddenly become dwarfed by too great heat, cold, drought, or poor soil. We will do our part to have seeds pure and reliable, but, owing to the many conditions that go to prevent success, the Bollwinkle Seed Co., Ltd., will not give any warranty, express or implied. Thanking you for your kind patronage in the past and soliciting a continuance of your good will, we remain Yours very respectfully, THE BOLLWINKLE SEED CO., LTD.

Large Green Globe, a most delicious vege- table, which will become more popular when better known. The Large Green Globe is the best variety to grow. It is propagated from suckers, which come up around the large plants. Take them off during the fall and early winter months, plant them four feet 3 ‘s th fe he i id p yr 1", os é ey i | 2 : a eg! i Mh i Wf of NS We Wi iw Me ti apart each way. Every fall the ground should be manured and spaded or plowed between them; at the same time the surface should be taken off. To grow from seed sow in drills during winter or early spring three inches apart, and one foot from row to row, cover with about one-half inch of earth. The following fall the plants can be transplanted and cultivated as recommended above. Artichoke plants, $2.50 per 100; seed, per oz., 40c; % Ib., $1.50; 1b., $5.00, postpaid: Jerusalem (Helianthus Tuberosus) — The tubers of this variety are especially for hogs, though frequently used on the family table. They are wonderful yielders, and should be planted on rich loams and cultivated, like potatoes. Price per pound, postage paid, 25c; per bushel at market prices, which are fluctuating, Asparagus.—It thrives best in the moist, sandy saline soil, near the Gulf coast. One hundred roots set in a bed 16x20 feet, if cultivated according to the following direc- tions, will give an abundant supply for an ordinary family, often averaging thirty-five. shoots to the hill, one inch in diameter, six to eight inches long. To transplant from seed: Sow either September 1 or March 1.) Pour hot water over seed to soak in a warm place twenty-four hours before planting, in drills, twelve inches apart, two and half ounces seeds to 100 feet of row. Wheat plants are up, thin out to two inches apart cultivate thoroughly and transplant in per manent beds the following fall or spring. From Roots.—Plant well grown one-year- old roots. Make rows four feet apart and SOW ) about six inches deep. Set the roots in the | bottom of the rows two feet apart, cover)| with about three inches of rich soil. Culti- vate the plants thoroughly as they grow and fill the trench gradually at each hoeing un- til level with surface of the bed. heavy dressing of well-rotted manure. Keep well cultivated during entire growing sea- son. Keep up the fertility and do not cut too often first year before roots are well es- tablished. Allow stalks to grow and shade the ground during summer months, cutting and cleaning off growth in fall. Columbia White Mammoth Asparagus. In early winter, before time for cropping, spade in a Columbia White Mammoth.—This is an © entirely distinct variety, white and very tender sprouts, which re- main fit for use longer than any other va- riety. Roots, per 100, 75c. Seed, per oz., 10c; % Ib., 25c; 1b., 75c, postpaid. Palmetto.—Anexcellent variety, especially adapted to the South. Roots, 75c. per 100; $6.00 per 1,000.

Our Beans are all “Northern Grown,” and although there will be a shortage, still our growers assure us of a pretty full delivery. Ger., Grup-Bohnen; Fr., Haricots Nains; Sp., Habituelas; Ital., Fagiuoli. One quart will plant 100 hills; 1% bus. will plant an acre; an acre should yield 10 bushels of “snaps,” and should be ready to pick in six to seven weeks after planting. Culture.—Sow in drills two feet apart, ‘dropping a bean every four inches in rich, warm, moist soil. Cover about two inches. Be certain your soil is well drained, and that every facility is given the surface water to run off quickly. Plant early and take the chances of a frost, for it is the early crop that pays both the local gardener and the shipper. Beans do well planted in our Southern sub-tropical line during the months of March, April, May, August, September and October. Cultivate shallow and frequently, and draw the earth to the plants when the blooms first appear. It is wise to purchase seed only from seedsmen of practical expe- rience and commercial standing. The differ- ence between good and bad seed is always the difference between a profit and a loss. Extra Early Red Valentine Round Pod.— The “OLD STAND-BY” of the South and one of the best table beans known. When you want a bean to eat get the Valentine. Pods are fleshy and of excellent quality and should mature in from 35 to 40 days. Long Yellow Six Weeks, Flat Pod.—This is a green pod sort—the term yellow apply- ing to the color of the seed and not to the pod. As its name implies, it is a six-weeks bean, and while not as stringless as the oth- er sorts, its earliness in coming into market with the high prices early stock brings, makes it a valuable variety for the local gardener. Black Valentine—Popular in the South on account of its blight-resisting qualities, Ma- tures early, producing long round straight - pods which are tender when quite young. Best of All Beans.

Re- molacha; Ital., Barbabietola. One ounce will plant 50 feet of drill; five pounds will plant an acre; ready for use in 50 to 60 days. Culture: Drill in deep sandy loam 18 inches between rows and thin out to 3 inches in the drill. Firm the soil when seeds are planted. Soaking over-night in medium weak liquid manure will hasten germination, If wanted early sow in frame or greenhouse and trans- plant to the open when warm enough. In our Southern climate best results are had from sowings in July, August and September. Keep the soil well cultivated, and do not neg- lect fertilization. The home market requires large roots, while the Northern markets pre- fer small, symmetrical, smooth roots.

We have been growing it on our trial grounds for several years and could not help noting its many desirable qualities. It is a second- early variety, does not grow large and coarse, Dark Red Egyptian—Very desirable; not as attractive in appearance as Crosby’s, but equally as good a cooker and much darker. It is probably more generally planted than any other one variety. Dewing’s Blood-Red Turnip—A great fa- vorite in the Houston market on account of its size and smoothness. Detroit Dark Red—A favorite with our trade; the dark color is retained after cook- ing, and the roots are of good size, smooth and well shaped, and with exception of Eclipse commands a higher price than all other Beets. Bassano’s Early Turnip—An old favorite. The leaves can be and are used for “greens.” Edmands—Sweet and tender and of uni- form growth; flesh darker than the skin; very popular. Early Blood Turnip—Quite early; grows to a very large size and is edible in all stages of its growth; is blood red in color, even when cooked, a splendid truck or family Beet.

The increase in sales, year by year, of Mangel Wurzel and Sugar Beets evidences the correctness of our udgment in advising the planting of these varieties for stock. Al- though more generally cultivated in a more northerly section, it has been demonstrated that they will thrive here, and prove remu- nerative if planted in September or October, or even later. Once fairly established, they will continue growing all the year, and can be pulled and fed as required. In planting remember that the Golden Tankard grows well above the ground, the Intermediate grows partly in and partly above the soil, and the Long Red grows more like the Long Blood Beet; so by planting the three vari- eties and in the order named, good stock Beets may be had regardless of season. Culture: Sow in drills and thin out as the roots grow; keep well cultivated. Before FOR TIME OF PLANTING DIFFERENT SEEDS, SEE PAGES 8 AND 9. 94.

Our customers can there- fore rely upon getting Cabbage Seeds true to name and of the best possible vitality.) Culture: Cabbage requires a rich soil, plowed deep and heavily manured, and the plants must be thoroughly cultivated. The seed bed must not be rich, but when plants are set out for constant and steady growth, frequent application of manure is almost ne- cessary. -Close watch must be kept for in- sect enemies, and their destruction effected immediately on the first appearance. Eter- nal vigilance and persistent labor is es- sential to a good cabbage crop. One ounce of seed will produce about 1,500 plants, and six ounces should be sown to set out an acre. Ready for market in 60 Intelli- gently grown, it is a most profitable truck- er’s crop. FIRST EARLY SORTS. Early Jersey Wakefield—The earliest and hardest heading of first early Cabbages. Most gardenrers depend upon it for the bulk of their extra early crop. Its exceeding hard- iness not only to resist cold but other un- favorable conditions, insures the likelihood of profitable and satisfactory re- sults. Our stock is grown and selected with the greatest care; there is none better and there are few as good. Head conical, very compact, solid and excellent quality. The thick, stout leaves and compact habit of the variety make it the best sort for very early setting. Charleston (or large Wakefield—Of the same appearance, habit and general charac- ter as the Jersey Wakefield, excepting the heads are larger. Early York—Heads small, firm and tender, heart-shaped, SECOND SORTS. Stein’s Dwarf Flat Dutch—A great favor- ite, owing to its uniform size, good heading and heat-resisting properties.

Celery is a very important crop; usually | a well-paying one, and has come into such general use that almost every garden has a bed devoted to its growth. The rich nutty flavor of well-blanched celery, grown in rich ground, is simply excellent. Culture: Sow the seed (which is slow to germinate) in shallow boxes, or in a finely prepared seed bed out of doors, in straight rows, so that the small plants may be kept free from weeds. | See to it that the seed bed is kept moist, almost wet, until the seeds germinate, as | plenty of moisture is essential to get a satis- factory growth. When about two inches high, thin out and transplant so that they may stand three inches apart, and when the plants are four inches high cut off the tops, which will cause them to grow stocky. The crop is usually made to succeed some earlier’ one, but in order to grow good celery the soil must be made as rich as possible; the essentials to success being very rich soil and plenty of water. In setting prepare broad, shallow trenches about six inches deep and four feet apart, in which the plants should be set six inches apart, cutting off the outer leaves and pressing the soil firmly about the roots. When the plans are near- ly full grown hey should be “handled,” which | is done by one man gathering the leaves to- gether while the second draws the earth about the plant to one-third its height, taking care that none of the earth falls between the leaves, as it would be likely to cause them to rust and rot. After a few days draw more earth about them and repeat the process every few days until only the tops of the -leaves are visible, or the leaves may be GIVE OUR SEEDS A TRIAL AND BE CONVINCED THAT WHAT WE ASK ARE FACTS.

Care should be taken that the plants are not disturbed while the ground is wet, as it would be sure to injure them. Golden Self-Bleaching Celery. Golden Yellow Self-Blanching—This is the best celery for early use. It is in condition as early in the fall as any and we have yet to find an extra early sort equal in quality and appearance to our stock of Golden Yel- - low Self-Blanching. Critical gardeners gen- erally depend upon our stock to produce their fnest early celery. Plants of medium size, compact and stocky, with yellowish green foliage. As they mature the inner stems and leaves turn a beautiful golden yellow so that blanching is effected at a minimum expenditure of time and labor. The handsome color, crispness, tenderness, freedom from stringiness, and fine nutty flavor of this variety have fully established it as the standard first early sort. Pkt., 5c; w@z., $1.00; 2 oz., $1.60; $2.75; ib., $10.00. White Piume—A handsome, very early va- riety much in demand as a market sort, on account of its very attractive appearance and requiring a very short time for blanch- ing. Leaves light, bright green with tips al- most white. As the plants mature, the inner stems and leaves turn white and require to be earthed up but a short time before they betel oe are in condition for use. While this variety is very attractive in appearance, we do not think that it compares favorably with the Golden Yellow Self-Blanching either in flav- or or solidity, or that it will remain in con- dition for use as long after it is earthed up. An Improved White Plume ‘with longer stems is being offered, but careful compari- son with our stock shows that it is not equal in quality nor so desirable as that we offer.

The quality is improved rather than injured by frosts if not too heavy. Farther north sow in April or May in rich, light soil in rows two to three feet apart and where plants of the largest size are desired thin to two feet apart in row. It is better not to cut or handle the plants while frozen, but if this is un- avoidable, thaw them out in cold water.

WATER MELONS. . a To make certain of raising good Water Melons, it is essential that the plants have tips a good start and to this end it is important to prepare hills about eight feet apart, by ta thoroughly working into the soil an abundance of well-rotted manure—hen manure, i guano, or other forms rich in nitrogen being most desirable. Over this highly-manured soil put an inch or more of fresh earth and plant the seeds on this, covering them about , an inch deep. It is important that he seed should not be planted before the ground sul becomes warm and dry, as the young plants are very sensitive to cold and wet. When the plants have formed the first pair of rough leaves, they should be thinned so as to leave two or three of the strongest and best to each hill. Frequent watering of the vd plants with liquid manure will hasten the growth, thus diminishing the danger from insect pests.

Never was there such a fallacy, and it is the “Profes- sionals” and “Experts” who are to blame for putting such ridiculous and foolish notions into people’s heads. Anyone who starts right can grow Mushrooms successfully. He must know how to prepare the beds, where to locate them and how to take care of the crop. But the grower of Radishes or Melons must know that much about the crops he expects to raise. So after all there is no more mystery or difficulty in successfully growing Mushrooms than there is in grow- ing Radishes or Melons. It is sold in bricks, each weighing about 114 lbs., and is sufficient to plant nine square feet of prepared bed. Price, 25c per pound. 12 cents for postage. MUSTARD.

Culture: In this latitude the seed should be sown from the 15th of September to about the 15th of November. If sown soon- er, a good many will throw up seed stalks, which impair the keeping quality of the Onion, We sow the seed broadcast; protect the seed beds by spreading green moss over them, which is removed every evening and replaced in the morning. Some gardeners use Latania leaves for covering the beds. When the seed is coming up, in seven or nine days, the cover has to be removed en- tirely, but if the weather is dry, the water- ing has to be continued. They thrive best in loamy soil. When the plants have reached the size of a goose quill they are transplanted into rows, which can be from one to two feet apart, according to the mode of cultivation, and about five to six inches apart in rows. The ground should be thoroughly prepared before setting out plants. We generally shorten the tops and roots. . In April the Onion will be ready to take up. In sections where it is too cold to sow Onion seed in the fall, the Creole can be sown in January and February.

As a general thing, the Dwarf kinds require richer ground than the tall- growing varieties. Marrowfat Peas, planted in rich ground, will not bear well, but they produce in sandy, light soil. Peas have to be planted in drills two inch- es deep and from two to three feet apart, ac- cording to the height they may grow.

Ger., Liebesapfel; Fr., Tomato; Sp., Toma- te; Ital., Pomo d’oro. An ounce of seed should produce 2,000 seedlings, Culture: For early plants sow in seed boxes in drills, say four inches apart; when the seedlings are two inches high, plant in other boxes 4x4 inches. Don’t have the soil in your seed boxes rich. When danger of frost is past plant in rows four feet apart and three feet apart in the row. It will be well in making the hills in which the Toma- toes are planted, to mix a full spadeful of well-rotted manure with the soil. Do not use fresh or half-rotted manure. If you have not the right kind of manure use a balanced commercial fertilizer. Give a thor- ough watering at time of transplanting and set the plants in the ground up to the first sound leaf. Owing to the probabilities, or rather possibilities, of having a wet season, it will be wise to throw up the beds on which to plant the Tomatoes, so, in the event of a long wet spell, the surplus water may run off. Tomatoes are impatient of water. Your vines will bear longer and will bear better fruit if they are staked, or otherwise kept off the ground. A cheap, though excellent plan, is to set stakes at an angle of 15 to 20 degrees from the perpendicular, at inter- vals of six to ten feet, and stretch on them wire netting on which the vines may rest. The fruit will fall below the netting and the leaves will cover so as to prevent sun seald. This plan will also assure a good circulation of air, which will tend to ward off disease.

The Choicest of all Northern Stock. Spring Planting: After the ground has been thoroughly plowed and harrowed, lay off the rows two and one-half feet apart, making a slight furrow, into which drop the pieces of potatoes every ten inches apart; cover with the hoe or turning plow. Just before the potatoes come up, run a light harrow over the ground to break the crust and also to kill young weeds and grass. After the potato plants are about six inches high, commence to cultivate with the horse cultivator, followed by the hoe. Two or three cultivations during the grow- Wy hi SUH : hal i ect tfiffleat My alll: le ing season are generally sufficient to secure a good crop. Do not cultivate too late; af- ter the young potatoes are about one-third or one-half grown all cultivation must stop. Fall Planting: Use the same directions as for spring planting, with the exception for fall planting always plant the whole po- tato, using the small potatoes with from 2 to 3 eyes. In season will carry a full line of Seed Potatoes from the seed-growing sections. Truckers who will write us for prices will kindly state quantities desired. We will IM} White Star.

Write us for prices when large quantities are want- ed. The Cow Pea is too well known by the Southern farmer for us to describe them or give their merits. We wish only to impress upon our patrons the value and importance of planting more Cow Peas, as they are the greatest of all leguminous plants, in obtain- ing from the air that most expensive plant food, nitrogen, storing in their roots, mak- ing poor land rich, and good land much im- proved. Sow 1 to 1% bushels to an acre. - Unquestionably we are the largest dealers in Cow Peas in Texas, and if you have any to sell us let us hear from you. Whippoorwill—The most highly valued plant in the South for fodder and reclaiming old and worn-out land, as it is a leguminous plant of special merit as a fertilizer. The vines when fed green make the best fodder and are very nourishing. The Whippoorwill is the most popular sort and yields a good crop of both fodder and peas. When ripened IF WE PLEASE YOU, TELL OTHERS; the ground peas make the best cattle fat- tener. By express or freight. Peck, 65c. New Era—The earliest variety of Cow Peas in existence and therefore most decid- edly the best for growing in the Southern States. If you will get the grain off the ground early and plow and plant to New Era ‘Cow Peas you can put the ground in fine shape for the coming crop. You will not have to haul manure on land so treated. Sow in orchards and either use for feed or soiling. By express or freight. Peck, 70c. Wonderful or Unknown—This makes an enormous- growth of vines, but requires the full growing season to make its crop. In yield and growth of vines it surpasses any of the varieties of Cow Peas, and it yields very largely of the shelled peas. This variety should be planted in May, in order to come to full maturity. By express or freight. Peck, 80c. Large, Black-Eyed Peas—The large Black- Hyed Peas make a profitable crop for pick- ing the dry peas for sale in our markets dur- ing the winter; at the same time make an excellent soil-improver, being similar in growth of vine and action of roots upon the soil to the other Cow Peas. By express or freight. Peck, 90c. Clay Peas—Most desirable for enriching the soil and for furnishing a large crop of nutritious forage. By express or freight. Peck, 80c. Cream Peas—This is the most beautiful table Pea we have ever had the pleasure of offering our customers, It has given the best satisfaction of any variety we have ever of- fered for table use, and very deservedly so, as. there are none that can surpass it in splendid flavor. In point of yield, they dou- ble the well-known Black-Eye, command a higher price on the market, cook quicker, and are in every way superior to it as a table sort. It grows in bunch form. Peas are of a cream color. By express or freight. Peck, 90c. Crowder Peas—Small seeded, but strong growing and prolific Pea for table use. Peas are treamy white and of the finest quality. Express or freight. Peck, $1.10. Mixed Peas—Every year thousands of bushels of Peas become mixed in handling, and these are generally considered as good for forage purposes as the straight vari- eties and usually sell for a little less. By express or freight. Peck, 70c. Note: If there are any other varieties of Peas which you want, write us, and we will let you know if we can furnish them. Sam- ples of all varieties on application. FIELD BEANS. Velvet Bean—This has been tried and found to be the best forage plant in the South. It produces more vine and leaves than any of the Cow Peas, and the leaves IF WE DON’T, TELL US. 62 BOLLWINKLE SEED CO., LTD. remain green longer. The seeds are rich in fattening matter, and are relished by all stock except horses. Before feeding to cows it will be found best to soak in clear water until soft. The product is simply enormous. Plant the beans in rows about six feet apart, and drop the beans about twelve inches apart in the row. Plant as soon as danger of frost is over, soaking the seed twenty-four hours before planting. One peck will plant an acre. By express or freight. $1.00 per peck. SOJA BEAN—One of the most valuable forage plants for pasturing or feeding green. The vines are bushy and of vigorous, erect habit. Fed in the green state, they afford much nutritious forage. Sow broadcast at the rate of one-half bushel to the acre, or plant in drills 3% feet apart and 1% feet between the plants, dropping two or three beans in a hill, One gallon will sow one acre if drilled. By freight or express. Peck, $1.25. VETCHES. Hairy or Sand Vetch (Vicia villosa)—The greatest soil-renovating hay and forage plant of the South. Should be sown from July to January, broadcast, at the rate of thirty to forty pounds per acre, with three-quarters bushel of winter oats or one-half bushel of wheat. The oats or wheat support the Vetches, enabling them to make a better growth, and facilitating the harvesting and curing. Vetches are excellent for hay, which should be cut as soon as the oats or wheat which was sown with them begins to form heads. The hay is one of the richest and most nutritious feeds for cows, increasing the flow and quality of milk. Pound, postpaid, 35c. By express or freight, 20 lbs., $3.00; 100 lbs., $12.00. Oregon Winter—Much like the preceding in growth and habit, and used for the same purposes, It is used in certain sections of the South, where the winters are mild, in preference to Vicia Villosa. The general di- rections given for Hairy Vetch apply to this sort also. Pound, postpaid, 35c. By freight or ex- press, 20 lbs., $3.00; 10 lbs., $12.00. - ALFALFA and CLOVER SEED. Alfalfa and Clover Seed—Alfalfa is one of the most valuable perennial leguminous forage and hay plants in the world and is grown with more or less success in nearly every State in the Union. The root system of the plant is the most wonderful thing in connection with its growth. There is no tell- ing how deep the roots of Alfalfa will pene- trate. They have been discovered below the earth’s surface more than a hundred feet. Alfalfa may be sown in September. October or November, or during February, March and April. Fall sowing should prove more)! profitable, although such is not always the: case. It is better not to risk all at the same: time, Alfalfa should be cut for hay when) blooms begin to appear, and where delayed || too long the quality of the hay will be muchip impaired. The feed value of alfalfa hay is)j very high. In fact, it is almost a complete ra- tion for a work horse. Alfalfa may be cut! from two to five times a season. The yield! to an acre in a season will vary from four to) six tons of dry hay.

How to Grow Grass and Clover Seed. _ First, have the ground well plowed and in as perfect state of cultivation as possible, then run a harrow over the surface, and you are ready to sow. Sow the seed carefully with a broadcast hand-seeder, then harrow ' and run a good heavy roller over the field, and all is done. We want to lay particular _ emphasis on rolling the seed in only, as we ' consider this the only way to cover Grass and Clover Seeds; and, in fact, almost all small seed. A great many farmers sow the seed and then harrow or run a double shov- el over the end, and in nine cases out of ten the seed is covered too deep and the seeds- _™man is blamed for sending out poor seed. _ This style of covering also leaves the sur- face loose, and, of course, our drying winds and sun keep it dry, and the seed will not germinate. It is all right to have the sur- face loose for growing crops, as this helps to hold the moisture at the roots; but when you want to germinate seed you must have the surface packed solid. This will hold the moisture nearer the surface, and the seed will then germinate. We notice in the advertisements of the implements houses all kinds of plows, harrows, cultivators, etc., but we do not remember ever seeing a good roller advertised, and in our opinion this is one of the most important tools the farmer can have. Take Bermuda Grass, for in- stance; you will hear a great many people say that it is not reliable, when the trouble is that it is not sown properly. We have tried growing this grass for several years, and have yet to make a failure. Use a light roller to cover the seed, as it 1S very small, To germinate Bermuda Grass successfully, it requires heat and moisture; therefore the best time to sow is in March, April or May; also September and October. ’ LAWN GRASS SEED. Prices on Grass Seeds Subject to Change, 100-pound Prices are by Freight or Ex- press, at Purchaser’s Expense. The essentials for a fine lawn are: First, a rich, well-drained soil; second, careful preparation of the ground, making it as fine and smooth and mellow as possible; third, a wise selection of seeds: fourth, sowing at such a time as to give the young plants a chance to become well established before be- ing subjected to very dry or cold weather or to the direct rays of the hot summer sun. However much care is bestowed on the soil and seed, no lawn will be beautiful without frequent mowing and rolling. Too much Care cannet be bestowed upon the selection of grasses, aS some varieties are most luxuri- ant in spring, others in summer, others again in autumn, and a combination of the proper sorts is required for a perfect, car- pet-like lawn. It may be planted early in the spring or fall, and should be sown at the rate of sixty to one hundred pounds per acre; much more is required than for hay or pasturage. If sown in the spring, sow as early as possible, making the surface very fine and smooth, then raking it over and sowing the seed just before a rain, which, if the surface has just been raked, will cover the seed sufficiently. If the expected rain does not come, cover by rolling with a light roller. For fall seeding, sow before the au- tumn rains, and early enough to enable the young grass to become well established be- fore very cold weather, when a light dress- ing of manure should be given.

Write for prices, or, if orders are intrusted to us we will always give lowest prices on the day shipment is made. Texas Red Rust Proof—This is the best known variety for Southern planting. It frequently yields 10 Obushels per acre, and we hav eknown of more prolific yields. Sown in the Fall, makes splendid winter pasture which does not prevent its making full crop in the spring. Nearly always more than a full crop of spring sown. For fall planting sow three bushels per acre in September or October. For spring planting sow two bushels per acre. By express or freight, bu., 85c. Winter Turf-—-This variety comes from Tennessee and has proven most valuable for winter grazing besides maturing full crops of 50 to 75 bushels in the springs. It stools out to such an extent that 1% to 2 bushels is sufficient per acre. They are grayish white in color. This variety has stood the heavy freezing of our late winters.

Per bushel, $1.50. RAPE—TRUE DWARF ESSEX. For its best development Rape requires a rich, moist, loamy soil, and will usually do well on any but light sandy soil or stiff clay, in general, a soil that will produce a good crop of Turnip, Cabbage, Wheat or Corn will be suitable for Rape. Often fine Rape may be grown on land that has already produced a crop of some of the early maturing Cereals, such as Rye, Oats or Barley. As soon as the crop of grain is removed the land is plowed or disced and at once seeded to Rape. Rape may also be sown in the corn field just before the last plowing, as is often done with Turnips, Rye and Wheat. If the soil is clean sow broadcast; if not clean sow in drills and cultivate as for Corn. When sown broadcast, use 8 pounds, and if in drills, 5 pounds to an acres.

Buckwheat is used principally in this sec- tion of the country as food for bees, and for AE ' > 1 Ls AN — \ Japanese Buckwheat. that purpose the Silver Hull is the best, owing to its being so exceedingly floriferous. Culture: Sow broadcast about three pecks to the acre, in either the early spring or fall. Silver Hull—A great improvement over the original, old sort, yielding nearly double the quantity per acre, blooming longer and maturing sooner. The grains are of a beau- tiful light gray color, have thin husks and less prominent corners than those of the other sort. This flour is of good quality and very nutritious.

Pound, 25c, postpaid; by freight or ex- press, pk., 75c; bu. (48 lbs.), $2.75 GIANT BEGGAR WEED OR FLORIDA CLOVER. A crop of immense value for restoring fertility to worn-out or depleted soils. On sandy lands of the Southern States it is probably the most valuable forage plant which can be sown, besides being of immense benefit to the soil. Its grown is im- mense, sometimes attaining a height of seven feet; is densely covered with leaves, yields both hay and pasturage abundantly, and is of high nutritive value, many farmers esti- mating its feeding value equal to clover. Sow any time after frost and as late as the middle of June, if in drills, three feet apart, three to four pounds per acre, or, broadeast, ten to twelve pounds per acre, covering one or two inches. If cut when two feet high, either for hay or green food, it will branch from the roots, producing successive crops. Can be easily eradicated, and is in no sense a pest.

(Commonly called Sorghum Cane.) Sorghum (Sorghum Vulgare)—-For stock feed sow any time from March to August about two bushels to the acre if wanted for hay; or half peck if wanted to make syrup. Of the two varieties, Amber and Orange, we do not care to recommend either. One intelligent grower requires. Amber, another, equally as intelligent, insists on Orange, while a third takes his mixed. Practically there is no difference, but to meet the wants of our friends we carry both, Texas Seeded Ribbon Cane (sometimes called Goose-neck Cane)—The superiority of this Cane over Sorghum is so great that, when once grown, a man never returns to the use of any other Cane. The grade of molasses made from it is much superior to that made from Sorghum, as every one knows who has used Ribbon Cane Syrup. Another good feature of this Cane is the great yield it makes. The stalks grow from 12 to 14 feet high. Cut with the foliage on and run through the mill, it makes the finest kind of silage for cattle and horses. It ma- tures two months earlier than any other Rib- bon Cane, being ready to grind the latter part of August, while other Ribbon Cane does not mature before October. It will grow anywhere Sorghum will grow. In plant- ing, prepare ground, plant and cultivate as for Sorghum. Plant in rows 3% feet apart. Six to eight pounds of seed will plant one acre, if planted by hand; eight to ten pounds if planter is used. Lb., 80c, postpaid. By freight or express. Ib., 20c; 10 Ibs. $1.50. Early Amber Cane—More popular than ever for foliage. Relished in its green state or cured, by all stock, on account of sweet- ness of the stalk and leaves. Equals in value any other crop known. Makes good Syrup, but as the stalk is smaller than the Orange, that variety is recommended when the intention is to grow for syrup; 12% Ibs. of seed will plant an acre. Plant any time from April to last of July in rows 3 feet apart, 8 to 10 pounds seed. 12 to 18 inches apart in row, or drill lightly; can be sown broadcast; 144 bushel per acre. By express or freight, 10 lbs., 35¢e; bu., $1.65. Early Orange Cane—Equally as valuable as the Amber for foliage, but on account of longer growth is considered better for syrup making; about ten days later than the Am- ber. ‘Culture the same as Amber. - By express or freight, 10 lbs., 40c; bu., $1.75.

The Forage Plant for Arid and- Alkali Soils—A forage plant for alkali soils, and for regions subject to periodic drought, This is a most wonderful forage plant, as it will grow freely in arid and alkali lands that will produce no other vegetation, yielding a marvelously liberal foliage which is eagerly eaten by all kindst of stock. It is of creep- ing habit. WILD RICE The natural time for sowing is in the fall, although it may be sown in the spring. The seed should first be thoroughly soaked in water, so that it will sink into the desired Annuals grow, bloom and die the first year from seed. Biennials bloom the second year from seed, and then die; though many, if sown early in the spring, will flower the first year.’ Perennials usually bloom the second year from seed, and continue to grow and bloom for many years; some will also bloom the first year if sown early. REMARKS ON THE CULTIVATION OF FLOWERS. The most satisfactory way to sow all fine seed is under glass in a greenhouse, hotbed, on in the house. Flowers succeed best in a sandy loam, made rich with well rotted ma- nure. Make surface as smooth and fine as pos- sible, sow seed in rows, covering each sort of seed in proportion to its size—a good natural rule being to cover twice the diame- ter of the seed, and press the soil firmly down over it. Do not plant any seed when the ground is wet. The importance of uniform attention to watering may best be learned by experi- ence and observation, but the inexperienced cultivator may be reminded that to omit a single watering, and allow the young plant germs from seed to remain in a parched state, a too frequent indiscriminate water- ing usually leads to the eventual loss of the whole. As soon as the plants appear, they will require careful attention as the least overwatering may cause them to “damp off” NOTE—IF SEEDS ARE ORPERED TO GO FROM QUART PACKAGE AND 10c. PER POUND ON ALL GARDEN SEEDS, Situation. It may be sown in shallow water, not over three feet deep, and from this depth into the shore. While it will grow in deeper water, it should be allowed to work its own way, the start being in shoal water. A still day should be chosen for sowing, so that it will not drift off into too deep water. Price, lb., 60c, postpaid.

Plants are usually ready to be trans- planted when they have made a growth of two inches. It is a very common mistake to let them stand so close together as to crowd each other, and thus lose much of their beauty. Give each plant plenty of room, according to its habits of growth. Flower seeds are often sown out of time than at the proper season, because most everybody thinks of sowing when the same plants are in full bloom, and we can safely assert that more Pansy seed is called for in January and February than in September and October, and more Hyacinths and Nar- cissus bulbs in February than at the proper planting season. The seeds sown out of time will produce poor plants, and if they bloom at all the flowers will be imperfect and small, which is needless to say. By setting out the young seedlings, con- sideration should be taken of the height and combination of colors in order to make a pretty effect. Time of Planting: The following varieties do best sown in September, October and November: Pansy, Daisy, Phlox, Sweet Peas, Hollyhock, Ten Week Stocks, Larkspur, Sweet Alyssum, Candytuft, Aster, Snap Dragon, Pot Marigold, Dusty Miller, Chinese, FORWARD BY EXPRESS, DEDUCT 15c. 70 BOLLWINKLE SEED CO., LTD.

Splendid, strong-growing plant of the citrus family. Not only makes a lovely house plant, but produces large, handsome Lemons which will be the delight of the housekeeper. It produces those splendid fruits year after year, beginning to bear when the plant is two years old. As the plant grows larger, they produce more fruit. On a tree six feet high, ninety Lem- ons were growing at one time, ranging from the size of a pea to ripe fruit, demonstrat- ing the truly ever-bearing habit of this va- riety. The fruits grow to a very large size, having remarkably thin skin, and are the juiciest of all Lemons. Excellent for lem- onade and other culinary purposes.

GERMINATING SEEDS, Complaints are often made to seed men by inexperienced truck farmers and planters that certain varieties of garden and field seeds are slow in coming up or fail entirely. The fault, as a general rule, is mostly the gardener’s, but the seedman invariably gets the blame, mostly unjust and groundless, but he is blamed and often abused, never- theless. For the guidance of those who are inexperienced, we deem it necessary to lay down the following rules: 1. Never sow out of time, Many of our truck farmers are in the habit of sowing too soon and in consequence are often com- pelled to sow double the quantity to get a good stand. As to the proper time for sow- ing, read our directions for planting. 2. Do not cover seed too deep, it will be impossible for the finer varieties to push through, especially if the soil is heavy and claylike. The rule is, never to cover seeds more than twice their thickness, except the finer ones, which require no covering at all. They should be slightly pressed in the ground to prevent their: being washed away. Beans, Peas and Corn should be covered one-fourth to one-half inch, according to the nature of the soil. 3. Keep your seed beds moist, but not too wet. Water in evening and during ex- tremely dry weather twice a day or oftener if required. Tender seeds, such as Celery, Onions, Leek and Cauliflower, may be shad- ed during the hottest part of the day, they have to be uncovered in the evening while the sun is still on the bed, well watered and left uncovered during the night. During cloudy weather, no covering is needed, nor should they be covered when they are up, otherwise the young plants become too ten- der and damp off. 4. Previous to planting, have your seed beds well prepared; have the soil well pul- verized and mellow, but not too fine; other- wise a crust will form, owing to constant . watering, on the surface, which prevents the tender germ from pushing through. 5. Never use fresh manure in the seed bed; if any is needed, use well rotted horse, or in light, sandy soil, cow manure and in- corporate it well with the soil before sowing the seed. k i EXC ASOQLUBLE F WALKERS CLIFTON SPRINGS NY IMPROVED COTTON SEED.
