Monthly Calendar of Operations for the Market Gard-
ener or Farmer. When and What to Plant.
UA
This Calendar is given to aid the amateur or beginner. It should be borne in mind that these recommendations apply mainly to the latitude of Mont- gomery, Ala., and ought to be varied according to locality.
January—N ow is the time to sow such seed as Tomato, Egg Plant, Cabbage, Kohl Rabi, Cauliflower, in hot beds or cold frames for plants; Potatoes may be planted, as well as extra early Peas and Onion Sets; a good time to work and fertilize your land.
February—Plant Potatoes, Peas, Beets, Onion Sets, Salsify, Carrots, Cel- ery, Egg Plant, Cabbage, Lettuce, Tomato, Radish, Early Corn, etc. In fact all the hardy things should be planted. Snap Beans may be planted in some localities; a good time to sow Grass Seed, Oats, etc.
March—A very busy month with every one, especially the private and home gardener, while the professional or market gardener has most all of his stuff planted. Most anything may now be planted, such as Melons, Beans, Cucumbers, Turnips, Mustard, Collards, etc. Grass Seed may still be suc- cessfully planted. Bed your Sweet Potatoes.
April—Time to plant Field Corn; in fact, all kinds of field crops, such as Millet, Sorghum, Cotton, Peas, Melons, Squashes, Pumpkins, Stock Beets, Jerusalem Artichokes, etc. A good time to put out Asparagus Roots.
May—Time to plant Pole Beans, Limas, Okra, and all other things that have been overlooked. This month should be mostly occupied in planting successions of most all vegetables.
June—Not so much is planted this month except for late use. The wise gar- dener, however, makes a succession of plantings of most everything. Cab- bage, Collards, Beets and Ruta Bagas are largely planted this month for late use.
July—If£ you have not sown Turnips you should do so at once. Sow Winter Cabbage, Collards, Spinach, Kale and other winter green crops should be planted. Fall crops of Irish Potatoes should now be planted. Late crops of EKearly Corn have plenty time to make rasting ears.
August—tThis is the great Turnip planting month, and the proper time to plant most all vegetables for fall use, such as Spinach, Kale, Winter Radishes, Mustard, Turnips, Lettuce, Snap Beans, Early Peas, Winter Cabbage, etc. Potatoes for spring seed are often planted this late with success.
September—Continue to plant such things as will have time to mature before frost—Winter Radish, Kale, Spinach, Mustard, Turnips, Lettuce, etc., are not affected by the cold nights in October, and will do well. Now getting time to sow falll grain, such as Turf Oats, Clover, Rye, Barley, Grass Seed, etc.
October—Continue to plant Spinach, Winter Turnips, etc., and by all means think about the subject of sowing something for winter pasture.
November—Plant Onion Sets, Clovers, Grasses and Grain.
December—If you wish to be early, this month is the proper time to sow Cabbage, Cauliflower, Tomato and Egg Plants for early settings.

BEANS
BURPEE’S STRINGLESS GREEN POD.
The introducer describes as follows:
It combines unusual hardiness, extreme earliness, and wonderful produc- tiveness with pods of handsome appearance and finest quality. Extra early plantings may be made to produce the earliest crop, and even with later plantings BURPEE’S “STRINGLESS” is always the quickest to produce pods.
By repeated planting fine pods may be had in constant succession from spring until cut off by heavy frosts in the fall. Combined with extra hardi- ness and early maturity, the pods are the finest in quality, of a rich green, very round and straight, five inches long, solidly meaty and broad—deeply saddle backed, caused by the rounded swell of the fleshy sides. The pods are tender, brittle and of finest flavor, always entirely stringless, even when fully matured. Packet 10c; pint, 25c; quart, 40c, postpaid.
HOPKINS’ IMPROVED VALENTINE.
This is one of the best strains of Valentine Beans ever offered. It ma- tures quickly, and is of the very best quality. Early, productive, tender and desirable for family or market use.

BEANS, Pole or Running Texas Prolific, Old Homestead, Kentucky Wonder
Several years’ careful tests convinces us that these three names all belong to the same bean, and henceforth we shall catalogue them as such. It is undoubtedly the most profitable pole green snap bean that can be grown, when planted from the middle of April to the middle of August. Vines grow off rapidly, become very rank, and would reach a height of 20 feet if properly supported. Commences bearing in 50 to 60 days, and if closely picked, will continue to frost. Pods are round, green, and grow 6 to 12 inches long. They are well rounded out, meaty, tender, and stringless. Im- mensely prolific, a peck measure full often being picked from a single vine, our illustration giving you a good idea of its productiveness. If you have never grown it, try it this year. You will be pleased with it. Here in -he South with our long seasons, a pole bean like this is very profitable. Look out in buying seed of this variety, however. Hundreds of bushels of the short, tough, “shucky” Southern Prolific have been sold under this name in recent years, and are being offered this year. The appearance of the seed is almost identical. We have the true and genuine stock which will please you. Packet, 10 cents; % pint, 20 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 50 cents, postpaid.
RED SPECKLED CUT SHORT, OR CORN FIELD BEAN. This is a popular variety and largely in demand for planting among corn. It will give a splendid crop without the use of poles.

Packet, 10c; pint, 25c; quart, 40c; postpaid.
WHITE CREASEBACK. A popular pole bean known in some sections as the Fat Horse Bean. It is especially desirable as a snap short, the pods being a beautiful light green color, about six inches long, stringless, per- fectly round, with a crease in the back.

ONION SEED
The onion thrives best in rather deep, rich, loamy soil, and, unlike most vegetables, succeeds when cultivated on same ground for successive years. The best culture requires that the ground should be deeply trenched and manured the previous autumn and laid up in trenches during the winter to pulverize. As early in spring as ground is in working order, sow thinly in drills about a quarter of an inch deep. Cover with fine soil and press down with back of spade or light roller. When young plants are strong enough, thin gradually, so they will stand four or five inches apart, keep ground open and free from weeds. If sets are wanted, plants should be left thicker in drills. The seed we offer are grown from selected bulbs, and are sure to give satisfactory results. 5

TOMATOES
Sow in hot bed or window in a sitting room where night temperature is not less than 60 degrees, latter part of February. When plants are 2 to 3 inches high they should be set out in boxes 2 or 3 inches deep, 4 or 5 inches aptrt, in’ same temperature. After danger of frost is past, they should be transplanted in light, sandy soil, at a distance of 3 feet apart in hills, in which a good shovelful of well-rotted manure has been mixed. On heavy soils, unsuited to an early crop they may be sown in open ground and trans- planted 4 feet apart. Water freely and shelter from sun a few days until plants are established. By training vines on trellises or tying to stakes (which should be 8 to 10 feet high, and keeping all suckers picked off, they increase in productiveness, the fruit will ripen better and be of finer quality. Our Tomato Seed are saved from the best fruit, handled with great care, and cannot fail to be satisfactory.

The skin is crock-proof. Its table qualities are excellent, the flesh, when full ripe, being tender and melting—not hard, as one might conclude from the solidity of the uncut fruit. The color of the fruit when fully ripe is a rich, bright red, but before: it reaches this stage it undergoes several interesting changes. It can be ship- ped in barrels, like apples, if packed in the early stage of ripening, and will keep from one to four weeks if stored in a cool place.”
We advise our customers to try it. Price, postpaid, Packet, 10c; 3 for Z29C; 15 tor 51.00:
TOMATO “DWARF STONE.” This is the largest fruited of all the dwarf or “bush” tomatoes. The growth is stiffly erect until the branches become overloaded with fruit late in the season. Foliage heavy and a rich dark green. The plants are very hardy and the blossoms set freely, even in a cool, wet season. The fruits are produced in clusters of three to five, and as the growth is close-jointed each plant produces a large number. The first tomatoes are, of course, the largest, and average four inches in diame- ter and two and a half inches in depth from stem to blossom end. Even the late settings of fruit are considerably larger, however, than those of other dwarf varieties, and retain the deen. ball-like form. They are bright scarlet in color; very smooth and regular, exceptionally firm and solid; the walls of flesh are thick, and the fruit has a solid meaty center, with no hard cre. The quality is of the finest, the flesh being sweet even in cool weather late in the season. Packet, 10c; 3 for 25c.
STONE—tThe Greatest Canning Tomato in the World. We venture to assert that more of Livingston’s Stone Tomato are annually grown than any other half-dozen varieties taken together. This varieties has obtained im- mense popularity with canners. Southern growers and market gardeners everywhere. Its solidity and carry qualities are remarkable. Its color is a desirable red. Its shape perfectly smooth, and thicker from stem to blos-

SEED POTATOES for Fall Planting
This crop is attracting much attention and has assumed great prominence since it has been shown that they are a success. Thousands of dollars have been sent North annually for Irish potatoes, from the fact that our crop maturing in midsummer could not be kept in marketable condition until the following winter and spring. This trouble has been overcome by the new variety, Lookout Mountain, which originated in this section and was intro- duced by us. No new variety has attracted such favorable notice and com- ment, and the potato has not been offered that is of half so much importance and value to the Southern farmer. We do not put these on market until June 1st. Write us for prices.

CLOVER AND GRASSES
PRICES. Prices of clover and grass seed are variable and subject to market fluctuations. At time we go to press it is impossible to name bushel prices, but will take pleasure in naming special prices on specified quanti- ties at all times. Prices named are for small quantities by mail, for the benefit of those who may wish to make comparative tests and experiments.
ORCHARD GRASS. This is the most widely known of all grasses, being grown in almost every country on the globe. It is one of the earliest to start in the spring and furnishes an abundance of pasturage during the entire season. It is valuable sown with other grasses for pasture and makes fine hay when mixed with clover. Soow in spring or fall, 1% to 2 bushels per acre. Weighs 14 pounds to bushel. Price, pound, 20c.

If by mail, lb., 35c; 3 pounds, $1.00, postpaid.
MEADOW FESCUE. One of the earliest, most nutritious and productive grasses. It is especially suitable for permanent pasturage—thrives well in all soils, but to best advantage in moist lands. Makes good hay, and cattle thrive well on it, whether dry or in green state. Sow 1 to 1% bushels per acre in fall or early spring. Choice seed, per pound, 20c. If by mail, pound, 30c; 3% pounds, $1.00, postpaid.
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS. One of the oldest in cultivation. It is con-

Ls
DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF TESTED SEEDS 29
South Bur Clover has been found admirably adapted for use with Bermuda Grass, the combination making a splendid all-the-year-round green pasture, or for big lawns for public buildings. When sown on Bermuda Grass sod, the sod must be sacrificed to give the clover a chance to get its roots in the soil below the layer of the Bermuda roots. 1 pound, 30c; 5 at 25c; 15 at 22c.
HARVEY’S WINTER LAWN GRASS SEED. Planted throughout this entire section by all gardeners and landscape gardeners. And is considered the best. for this section.

Making a fine velvet green lawn. “Don’t let your lawn be shabby through the winter.” If you have Bermuda on it now, cut the lawn off very close with your lawn mower and rake off the trash. Then sow the seed very thickly and cover with well pulverized stable manure. But do not cover too thick. Per lb., 12%., f. o. b. this city.
BERMUDA GRASS. This is one of the most valuable pasturage grasses. It is adapted to more varieties of soils than any grass we know, and in many instances it has been found to be the only grass that will make a sod on light soil. It stands high, dry weather remarkably well and makes a most valuable pasture. It is difficult to eradicate after once set. Sow in spring about season for planting cotton. Two or three pounds of seed per acre. Land should be thoroughly prepared and covered lightly, as seed are small. Price, ounce, 10c; % pound, 20c; 1 pound, 60c; postage 10c per pound, extra.
RED CLOVER. This is one of the most important factors to successful agriculture, and is more extensively grown than any other variety. It is best adapted to stiff soil, but will thrive well on any land rich enough to sustain it. Makes an abundant yield of very fine hay, which should be cut when in full bloom. If land is poor it should be helped at first with some good fertilizer. After it is well started it will do more to enrich poor land than any other known plant. Sow in spring or fall, 10 pounds to the acre Price, 1 pound, 25c. If by mail, 1 pound, 35c; 3 pounds $1.00, postpaid.
ALABAMA MELILOTUS SEED. Sow one bushel to the acre in March, lime or black soil. Once planted, always planted. Fine hay crop with sev- eral cuttings, weighing 40 lbs. to the bushel.

ALFALFA SEED. This is the most valuable of the clover family, mak- ing more hay to the acre than any other. Best adapted to a lime subsoil, cutting each season from four to six times. “There is not a better invest- ment for the farmer than Alfalfa.” When once seeded it will last 20 years.
We take great care in selecting our Alfalfa seed. All seed are tested be- fore shipping, so that the seed are the best to b had, pure and free from fodder. It does not pay to buy “cheap” Alfalfa seed full of fodder and weed seeds, and seed your lands with weeds in the place of Alfalfa. “It is a poor policy.” Get the best. Sample upon request. Write for prices.
WHITE CLOVER. Very valuable for beef pasture, and should be used in all mixtures for pastures and lawns. Price, 1 pound, 25c. If by mail, 1 pound, 35c; 3 pounds, $1.00, postpaid.
CRIMSON CLOVER. The Crimson Clovers are Only Adapted for Sum- mer and Fall Seeding. Farmers should take every available means of sow- ine all their vacant lands in Crimson Clover, as it makes a fine winter clover crop—an excellent grazing crop during winter and early spring—the earl- iest green feed—a good early forage crop and a splendid soil-improving corn to plow under early, to be followed by corn, cotton or other crops the same year. A crop of Crimson Clover plowed under is equal to an applica- tion of stable manure. It makes the land rich and mellow, fills it with hu- mus or vegetable matter and increases the yield of corn, cotton or other erps,, which follow it, to a wonderful extent. Sow at the rate of 15 pounds per acre, broadcast, in July, August or September.

PEANUTS, ARTICHOKES, CAUFAS, &c.
SELECT VIRGINIA PEANUTS. This variety grows erect, 1 foot high. A good yielder and a sure crop; a very productive strain; easy to take up and stack. No trouble to cultivate, is a good peanut for market and is un- surpassed for hay and stock. Price 25c per pound, postpaid; peck, 50c; bushel, $1.50.
SPANISH PEANUTS. A desir- able variety, early, a good bearer, and easily cultivated; the peas hang to the roots and are easily gathered. Planted in April they ripen in August, and planted as late as July 1st to 10th; mature before frost. Splendid to fatten hogs and children. Per pound, 25c, postpaid; peck, 50c; bushel, mar- ket price.
CHUFAS. A species of “grass- nuts” much used to fatten hogs. The nuts are very rich and sweet, and grow under ground near the surface. Abundantly and easily grown; greedily eaten by hogs, which take on firm fat from them; they fill a decided want wherever there are hogs to be _ fattened. Plant in April, 10 to 12, inches apart in 2% foot rows, cover
ie lightly, cultivate same as cotton. They mature in August or September and leiin the ground until wanted. Soak seed at least 36 hours before planting—3 days would be better. One pack will plant an acre. By mail, postpaid, 25c per lb; 5 lbs., $1.00. By express, peck, $1.25; bushel, market price.
JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES. Yields 500 to 1,000 bushels per acre. The wonderful productiveness and ease with which there artichokes can be pro- duced is always a surprise to those who cultivate them for the first time. They are an excellent food for cattle, sheep and horses, and the cheapest and healthiest hog food raised, 1 acre being equal to 5 acres of corn for building up large, healthy frames with plenty of bone and muscle. They not only grow rapidly but fatten on them. only requiring corn a short time in the finishing process. The hogs harvest themselves, thus saving all expense, even of feeding. Freezing and thawing do not injure them, and the hogs will feed themselves from October 1st in this latitude, until the late spring; when grass has come, except when the ground is frozen solid. No farmer can do better than plant a piece of ground to Artichokes without delay. They are a certain preventive of disease. On good corn land they produce 500 to 1,000 bushels per acre. Price, lb., 25c; 2% Ibs., 50c; 6 Ilbs., $1.00, postpaid. By freight or express, peck, 50c; bushel, $1.50; barrel, $3.50.
ROOT CROPS FOR STOCK FEED. These are not grown as extensively as they should be. Their value for feeding cattle, sheep and hogs—especial- ly in the winter months—cannot be over-estimated. They improve health and condition of stock, increase flow and quality of milk, and save a large quantity of hay. Cultivation simple, cost trifling and yield enormous. To save for winter use, bank same as potatoes. Slice before feeding, mix well with bran and steam, if convenient. Sow in April or May in rows 2 feet apart and thin to 12 or 15 inches.

MAMMOTH LONG RED MANGEL. This variety is more generally grown than any other, producing roots of large size and excellent quality, best variety for deep soil.
YELLOW GLOBE MANGEL. Roots of large size and globular form; very productive; keeps better than Long Red, and better adapted to sandy, shallow soil.
WHITE FRENCH SUGAR. Attains a large size, and is _ extensively grown for feeding. Price of any of above, per % pound, 15c; pound, 50c,
postpaid. BUCKWHEAT
JAPANESE. THIS variety of Buckwheat rivens a week earlier than the Silver Hull, and yields more largely than that variety. The kernels are larger than those of other sorts, but owing to its branching qualities, it need not be sown quite so thickly. Price, 1 pound, 20c; 3 pounds, 50c, post- paid. Peck and bushel prices on application.
SILVER HULL. A prolific and favorite sort, making a fine quality flour. A superiod variety in every way to the ordinary Buckwheat, which it has almost entirely superseded. Current prices on application.
RAPE
DWARF ESSEX RAPE. A very popular foilage plant on account of its rapid growth, becoming available in ten weeks after sowing, and it will pro- duce 20 to 30 tons of green stuff per acre. It will grow 2 or 3 feet high and smother out any objectionable grass, is perfectly hardy, and may be sown any month in the year in the South. Sow 5 pounds broadcast to the acre, on plant in drills same as turnips. Lb., 25c; 5 lbs., $1.00, postpaid.
FORAGE CROPS
MILLETS, SORGHUMS, VETCHES, ETC. More attention should be devoted to growth of these crops, which will be found quite remunerative. The yield of hay is enormous, while almost any variety listed here will pro- duce more grain than corn. Devote some of your best land to their culture and you will be highly pleased.
TECSINTE. This is of South American origin and somewhat resembles corn, but leaves are much longer and broader. The stalk, containing much saccharine matter, is very nutritious. It excells all other known plants in size of growth and amount of foilage produced. Throws up 30 to 50 stalks from one grain and attains a height of from 10 to 20 feet. Cut from green feed in any stake is found good and wholesome, and the second and third growth come promptly in equal abundance. The forage from one seed is considered sufficient to feed a yoke of cattle for 24 hours. It has been thor- oughly tested, with most satisfactory results. Nthing equals it for an enormous yield of valuable feed. Plant in spring when ground has become warm, in rows 3 or 4 feet wide, drop 3 or 4 seed 3 feet apart, cover lightly, cultivate same as corn. Two pounds of seed will plant an acre. Ounce, 10c; 4 ounces, 25c; pound, 75c, postpaid.
PEARL MILLET. Known throughout the South as Cat Tail Millet, Horse Millet, African Cane and Egyptian Millet. It grows _ luxuriantly, stooling largely from the ground, and produces an enormous amount of green fodder that can be cut several times during the season, furnishing a
32 HARVEY SEED CO., MONTGOMERY, ALA.
continuous fresh growth as long as the seasons are suitable. Useful only for green feed; does not make a good fodder. Sow in April or May, in drills 3 or 4 feet apart, and cultivate as corn. Pound, 15c; 8 pounds, $1.00. By mail, 25c pound; 414 pounds, $1.00, postpaid.
GERMAN MILLET, CHOICE SOUTHERN GROWN. Southern grown millet seed is far superior, both in quality and yield of product to Western and Northern grown seed. The true German Millet, when properly grown and handled, makes an enormous yield of most nutritious feed, and that without impoverishing the soil to any great extent. To get these results, however, the German Millet must be sown thickly, about one bushel per acre, and the crop cut while it is in bloom, before the seed hardens in the head. Sow when the weather gets warm in May, or any time during the summer until the end of July. Two crops can be seeded and grown during the summer on the same land. Price, 5c per pound. By mail, 15¢ per pound, 8 pounds, $1.00, postpaid. Bushel prices on application.
EARLY AMBER CANE. A variety which has been largely tested with great success. Stalks tall and slim and highly prized as a fodder plant. In its green state, or cured into fodder, it equals any other known crop. Plant from April to July, in 8 foot rows, lightly drilled, or may be sown broadcast. Pound, 10c; 3 pounds, 25c. By mail, pound, 20c; 4 pounds, 75c, postpaid. Quantity prices on application.
EARLY ORANGE CANE. Yields about 25 per cent more cane, is more succulent and better adapted to culture than any other variety; makes the finest quality of syrup and sugar. Use 4 pounds seed per acre. Price per pound, 10c; 3 pounds, 25c. By mail, 20c per pound, 4 pounds, 75c, postpaid.
RED KAFFIR CORN. One of the best drouth resisters. It does well on thin land, ripens earlier and yields nearly twice as much grain and forage as the white variety. Grows taller, the stalks are slenderer, but more juicy and leafy than the white. The seeds are red and rather hard or brittle. Plant 3 to 5 pounds seed per acre. Price, 15ec per pound; 4 pounds for 50c;}. 10 pounds, $1.00. By mail, 25¢ per pound; 5 pounds, $1.00, postpaid.
WHITE KAFFIR CORN. A variety of sorghum, cultivated both for forage and grain, growing from 5 to 6 feet high, is stock and erect, with wide foilage, and is never blown about by the winds; never tangles. Pro- duces 2 to 4 heads, 10 to 12 inches long on each stalk, which are greedily eaten by stock; will produce 50 bushels per acre on good land. For en- silage it is one of the most desirable. Plant in rows 3 feet apart and culti- vate same as corn. Use 3 to 5 pounds of seed per acre. Price, 15¢ per pound; 4 pounds, 50c; 10 pounds, $1.00. By mail, 25c per pound; 5 pounds $1.00, postpaid. Special prices for large lots.
RURAL BRANCHING DHOURA (MILO MAIZE). A wonderfully pro- ductive fodder plant. It shoots out strongly; 6 to 10 stalks are frequently produced from one seed. It starts a new growth rapidly after being cut, makes a great amount of foilage, and can be cut for feed several times dur- ing the season. Cultivate same as corn. Three to five pounds of seed re- quired to plant an acre. Price, 15c per pound, 4 pounds, 50c; 10 pounds, $1.00. By mail, 25e per pound; 5 pounds $1.00, postpaid.
YELLOW BRANCHING DHOURA (YELLOW MILO MAIZE). This is earlier than the Rural Branching and of taller growth, often attaining a height of 10 or 12 feet, but does not stool out quite as much from the ground, though it branches out from the points. Iits seed heads grow very large and heavy on good ground, and when ripe hang over. The grains are large and plump and of a deep golden color. It produces on enormous

amount of foilage, green fodder or cured, often producing 3 to 4 good “cut- tings” in a season. Plant in 4 foot rows, and thin out 2 stalks every 2 or 3 feet. Plant 4 pounds to the acre. Price, 15c per lb; 4 lbs., 50c; 10 lbs., $1.00. If by mail, 25c per lb., 5 lbs., $1.00, postpaid.
JERUSALEM CORN. A non-sacchraine sorghum. It grows about three feet high, makes one large head on main stalk and several smaller ones on side shoots; often as many as eight heads on one stalk. The grains are pure white and nearly fiat. It is claimed to be the best and surest grain and forage crop for dry seasons. Plant same as Kaffir Corn, 3 to 4 pounds of seed per acre. Price, 15c per lIb.; 4 lbs., 50c; 10 lbs., $1.00. By mail 25c per lb.; 5 lbs., $1.00, postpaid.
HAIRY OR WINTER VETCH.
This is one of the most valuable forage crops for the South, but requires to be sown in the fall for the best results. Can be sown any time from July to October. Succeeds admirably,- sown at the last working of corn or cotton, with winter oats or wheat. Should be sown at the rate of 30 to 40 lbs. to the acre, with %4 bushel of oats or 1% bushel of wheat. The oats or wheat help to hold the Vetch off the ground, enabling it to make a better growth of Hairy Vetch. One pound, 25s postpaid.
SPRING VETCHES. One of the best forage plants, and none better adapted to the South. Can be sown alone or mixed with oats. Makes very nutritious feed for all kinds of stock, and is especially recommended for horses. We advise gon i ery € one peck of vetches and two bushels of oats sown (aes i “ot (> to the acre. Weight, 50 lbs., per bushel. Pound, 3 ie Sage 10¢; peck, $1.00; bushel, $3.50. If sent by mail, pound, 20c; 6 pounds, $1.00, postpaid.
FIELD PEAS AND BEANS
The value of these for hay, fertilizers, stock and human food is too weil known in the South and West for extended remarks. We deal very largely in varieties named and make special prices upon application. Please state quantity wanted.
SOJA BEANS. All those who have them are most enthusiastic in their praise, and we feel that we cannot impress too forcibly the importance of this crop. The great nutritive value of these beans, combined with the enormous yield, makes it a most valuable and economical crop to grow for stock feeding purposes. It is also strongly recommended fro green fodder an ensilage, and will easily yield, on suitable soil, from 8 to 10 tons per acre. Price, quart, 30c, postpaid.
NEW VELVET BEANS (For Forage). This new forage crop is at- tracting general attention in the South, having been tested in nearly all the Southern States, where its enormous growth and vast possibilities as a forage crop and improver are being recognized and appreciated. Pro- duces an enormous amount of vegetable matter, which is very rich in nitro-
34 HARVEY SEED CO., MONTGOMERY, ALA.
gen, making a most valuable soil improver. The plant is readily eaten by all stock, including beans and pods, and being very rich, should be fed in conjunction with some coarse food. The vines grow so rank it is difficult to turn them under when green, and it is advisable to let them stand until after frost. Plant in rows three feet apart and one foot apart in ‘row. Price, packet, 10c, prepaid; pint, 25c; quart, 40c, postage paid. Peck or bushel, market prices.
CANADA FIELD PEAS. This is in one sense a cow pea, but resembles an ordinary garden or English pea in looks of seed and growth. It is extremely hardy, a great soil enricher and makes the most delicious of hay. They should be sown from November to March, two bushels to the acre. It is better though to sow with oats or other winter grain to hold the vines up using bushel peas and one half the regular qquantity of grain. Both are cut at the same time. Price of seed: Peck, 75c; bu., $2.20.
COW PEAS
WE ARE ONE OF THE LARGEST COW PEA DEALERS IN THE STATE. HAVE JUST MOVED INTO A LARGER STORE ROOM AND WAREHOUSE, AND WE CAN NOW STORE MORE PEAS THAN WE HAVE IN THE PAST. WE BUY IN QUANTITY LOTS AND THERE- FORE WE CAN SELL CHEAPER. OWING TO THE CHANGES OF THE MARKET WE CANNOT QUOTE PEAS IN THIS CATALOGUE. WRITE FOR PRICES AND SAMPLES.
CALIFORNIA BLACK EYE SIX WEEKS PEAS. The best six week table pea on the market. Very large peas with rich flavor, pure white with large black eye. Qt., 20c. f. 0. b.; pk., $1.50. Quantity prices on application.
LARGE SUMMER CROWDER PEAS. A very large pea with brown eye. One of the best for table use, a quick seller and a good yielder.
LADY PEAS. A very small pure white pea of rich flavor, a good table pea and medium early. Qt., 20c; pk., $1.00.
RED RIPPER. Fed-seeded; a most desirable and productive variety, somewhat resembling the black in growth of vine, but ten days earlier and more prolific. Wherever it has been grown it is rapidly coming in favor.
WONDERFUL OR UNKNOWN. We have never seen any pea equal to it for any purpose; whether sown for soiling, forage crop, or yielding an abundance of seed, it stands at the head of the list.
WHIP-POOR-WILL PEAS. This is one of the earliest varieties, and when parties wish to mature crop seed, it stands at the head.
CLAY PEAS. This is an old standard sort and largely used by sugar planters in Louisiana for soiling and forage crops.
BLACK PEAS. This is the variety most largely grown in this section. It is very prolific, quicker to mature than Wonderful or Unknown, and is better adapted for late planting, or for growing in districts further north.
It is a splendid land improver, and most valuable as a forage crop, mak- ing an enormous yield of rich, nutritious feed. It yields more largely of the shelled peas to the acre than the Unknown.

WINTER TURF OATS. The best oat for grazing, planting in fall at the rate of 1% to 2 bushels per acre and coming up in a turf, affords a
good grazing. SUNFLOWER
Everyone who keeps poultry should use sunflower seed liberally for feeding, as there is nothing more wholesome and nu- tritious, or which keeps hens in better condition for laying. Some pieces are largely planted in the flower garden for ornament.
LARGE RUSSIAN. This variety has large heads, borne at top of a single unchanched stem, and having much more and larger seed than the common sort. Sow the seed as soon as the ground is fit for corn, in rows five feet apart, and ten inches apart in the row. Cultivate same as corn. When the Seed is ripe and hard cut off the heads and pile loosely in a rail pen having a solid door or in a corn crib. After curing sufficiently, so that they will thresh easily, flail out or run through a threshing machine, and clean with an ordinary fanning mill. This variety will yield nine hundred to twelve hundred pounds of seed per acre ordinarily. Prices change with market.
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER. The giant of all sunflowers, growing to double the size and producing twice as much seed as the com- mon sunflower. It is highly recommended for poultry, the best egg-produc- ing food known. Packet, 5c; %4 lb., 35c, postpaid.

Our combined machine hatches and broods perfectly at the same time with only one lamp and one-fifth the oil used in other machines. Once filling the lamp completes the hatch. It runs as steadily as a clock in any room from cellar to garret, and our Long Burning Safety Lamp runs on for weeks without attention. It is the only machine that airs the eggs in the natural way and applies the heat to the chicken like the mother hen.
