The CADWELL & JONES Annual
Catalog and Price-List of Seeds Farm Supplies, Agricultural Implements
“The HIGH STANDARD always maintained merits the discrimination, distinction and preference given our seeds.”
HIS sentence has appeared on the title-page of our catalog for several years, and has almost become a part of our creed. When this business was established, more than seventy years ago, two words, ‘“‘High Standard,’’ were made test-marks by which all our seeds or implements were judged. We have adhered rigidly to our ideals.
The seeds we offer are varieties that we know have been tested under all con-
ditions. The amateur gardener, who grows vegetables for his own table, or flowers
to decorate his home, has found them to be the varieties just suited to his efforts. They have ~ responded to his care with loads of vegetables and armfuls of flowers.
The market-gardener, whose income depends on the success of his crop, pins his faith to ““High Standard’’ Seeds. He has found that they grow, that they produce big crops which bring the highest prices in the market and please his trade season after season—and that these crops are produced with a minimum of labor.
It is extremely gratifying to us to know that our customers appreciate the High Standard of our seeds, and that year after year orders come from those who have learned to depend on every- thing that comes from our store.

NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES
Laxtonian Pea
A WONDERFULLY PRODUCTIVE NEW SECOND-EARLY VARIETY OF SUPERI SWEETNESS AND QUALITY es
: The Laxtonian Pea is a splendid dwarf Pea of recent introduction, which already has taken its place as the leader in quality, productiveness and general satisfaction. The demand for this variety is enormous in every locality where it is known; in fact, with the short crops of 1911, all that were produced for seed were sold to growers before the catalogs were issued. This year we fortu- nately have been able to secure a large supply, and we want all of our customers to try this wonderful Pea. It deserves a place in every garden.
The Laxtonian Pea was introduced by the English growers of Thomas Laxton and Gradus. It resembles Gradus in the size and shape of pod. Thomas Lax- ton and Gradus stood in a class by themselves for quality, but this new Pea equals them in both flavor and productiveness. In fact, it isa dwarf Gradus. Thevines grow about 12 inches high, and are filled with immense, dark green pods containing eight or nine large Peas each. The crop ripens a few days later than Gradus. Pt. 25 cts., qt. 50 cts., 4 qts. $1.85, pk. $3.50, bus. $13.50.
Sutton’s Excelsior Pea
This great Pea is very hardy, and can be planted earlier than the other Peas of its class. The vines grow 12 to 18 inches high and bear very heavy crops. In form of growth it is similar to Nott’s Excelsior, but it bears large, broad pods filled with large Peas, tender and of the most delicious flavor. The pods are larger and broader than the usual dwarf Peas, are square at the ends and are light green in color. Each is well filled, and a peck of Sutton’s Excelsior will give more shelled Peas than a peck of any other early variety. This choice dwarf wrinkled Pea is pre- ferred by many to the Gradus, and takes the place in this class so acceptably filled by Stratagem and Telephone in the later sorts. Sutton’s Excelsior is sturdy and branching in habit, requiring no stakes. It continues in bearing for a considerable time and is in the front rank. Market-gardeners find it an excellent sort, because the large pods soon fill a basket, and home- gardeners are delighted with it because of its quality. We most confidently recommend it; our sales for this Pea have increased greatly and many of our customers have spoken most enthu- Sete of it. Pt. 20 cts., qt. 40 cts., 4 qts. $1.40, pk. $2.50, bus. $9.
Little Marvel Pea
This new Pea is superior to American Wonder or Nott’s Excel- sior in that it matures earlier, the pods are a little larger and contain more Peas. The pods are dark green in color, and keep fresh for several days after picking. The vines are dwarf, strong growers and bear heavily. We consider it a great improvement over many of the early sorts. Pt. 20 cts., qt. 40 cts., 4 qts. $1.25, pk. $2.40, bus. $8.75.
New Burpee Improved Bush Lima Bean
This is the earliest, largest and best of all Dwarf Bush Lima Beans. The pods are uniformly much larger than those of the best standard strains of Burpee’s Bush Lima, and both pods and Beans are not only much larger in size but are nearly twice as thick. The Beans are enormous—the largest yet known—but even when of full size they are of the most delicious flavor, thin- skinned, tender and luscious. The pods are from 5 to 6 inches long and 114 inches wide. The blossom-bearing stalks are thrown well out from the foliage, and the pods are formed in what might be called clusters of from five to eight. The bushes make a vigor- ous growth, stiffly erect, with heavy foliage. They measure 30 inches in height and 20 inches across the top when fully developed. The Beans when dried are pure white, like those of the large pole Lima, instead of showing a greenish white coloring like the old

Thorburn’s Valentine Dwarf Wax Bean
This Bean is nearly stringless, with meaty, round, tender pods of most excellent quality. It is extra early—as early as the earliest, and is more productive than almost any other variety. It has no equal as a pickling Bean, retaining its beautiful, waxy appearance better than any other we know. The vines are vigorous, of medium size, and hold the pods well above the ground, preventing them from spotting in wet weather. This Bean is of exceptional value because of all four of its great qualities: Fine flavor, earliness, vigorous growth and productiveness. It is not unusual to have a crop ready to pick in thirty-five days after planting. It is unequaled in uniformity of ripening, which makes it one of the most profitable sorts for the gardener. Our stock is unusually choice, being grown especially for us from seeds of the most prolific plants. If only one variety of Wax Bean is to be planted, it should be Thorburn’s Valentine. Pt. 15 cts., qt. 30 cts., 4 qts. $1, pk. $1.75, bus. $6.50. _
Peep-o’-Day Sweet Corn
MOST DELICIOUS EARLY KIND
Peep-o’-Day is from ten days to two weeks, earlier than any other extra-early Sweet Corn. It bears two or three ears to each stalk, and the grains are wonderfully sweet. Theears are about 5 inches long, perfectly formed, well filled, delicate and dainty, just right to handle at the table. The stalks grow 3% to 4% feet high, which admits of their being planted close together, giving greater productiveness. Peep-o’-Day is very hardy and may be planted earlier in the season than other varieties. Because of its fine flavor many plant it for successive crops, instead of using the later varieties. Pkt. 10 cts., qt. 20 cts., 4 qts. 75 cts., pk. $1.25, bus. $4.50.
Golden Bantam Sweet Corn EXTRA-EARLY, RICH IN FLAVOR, BEAUTIFULLY COLORED
Golden Bantam is a wonderfully prolific and fine-flavored, extremely early Sweet Corn. Its quick ripening and productiveness have made it popular over the entire country. Golden Bantam is so named <= because the Corn, when ready for use, is a rich creamy yellow, making * ee it most attractive. The ears are from 5 to 7 inches in length, and PEEP-O’-DAY SWEET CORN are borne two to four to a stalk. They make up in productiveness what they lack in size. The grains fill the ear to the tip and are extremely tender and sweet. It is vigorous and extra hardy, and can be planted earlier than the white varieties. Pt. 15 ets., qt. 25 cts., 4 qts. 90 cts., pk. $1.60, bus. $6.
Davis Perfect Cucumber
In shape these Cucumbers are slim and symmetrical, with an average length of 10 to 12 inches.
They have a rich, glossy dark green color, and, when grown outdoors, resemble the hothouse prod-
uct so closely that even dealers cannot tell the difference. The quality is perfect, very tender and
brittle, with good, firm flesh and small seed-cavities. The seeds are very soft when the Cucumber
is fit for table use. This is the best strain of Cucumbers for forcing under glass and for growing in
the open ground and brings the best prices. It is as early as the earliest type of White Spine, and
far more prolific, besides being better in shape and color. It outyields every other sort. The Davis
Perfect holds its color and brittleness until it is nearly ripe, when it turns white without the sign
_ of a yellow streak. The seed we offer is selected from the choicest and most shapely specimens. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 14lb. 25 cts., lb. 85 cts.
FORDHOOK FAMOUS CUCUMBER 3
Cadwell & Jones, Seeds and Agricultural Implements, Hartford, Conn.
Fordhook Famous Cucumber
Averages 12 to 14 inches long, with beau- tiful white flesh, firm, crisp and fine-flavored. Seed space is small. Vines are unusually vigorous and bear big crops. Cucumbers are of the true White Spine type, straight, smooth and regular in form, and a very dark green. They retain their color wonderfully and con- tinue in bearing all the season. This is one of the choicest kinds for either the home table or for the market. Pkt. 5 ets., oz. 10 cts., 4lb. 25 ects., ib. 85 ects.
Hartford Bronzed Head Lettuce
Unlike any other sort. The leaves are glossy, as though covered with a thin coating of salad oil, and are thick and tender. They have the appearance of being blistered or
HARTFORD BRONZED HEAD LETTUCE crimped. This Lettuce forms large, compact
heads of a dark bronze-red color, shading to
dark green toward the root. The heart i is a rich creamy yellow. Pkt. 5 ets., oz. 15 e*s., lh. 50 cts., Ib. $1.60.
Maine Seed Potatoes THAT WILL GIVE YOU BIGGER, BETTER AND MORE PROFITABLE CROPS
In line with our policy of securing for our customers the best that can be had in seeds, we have our Seed Potatoes grown on the newly cleared lands of the cold northeast Aroostook County, Maine. It is well known that the father north Seed Potatoes are grown, the earlier, surer, sounder and larger will be the crop that they will produce in more southerly locations. Home-grown Seed Potatoes will “‘run out,’’ and the vigor of northern-grown seed is needed to keep the varieties at their best. Our seed is grown as far north as it can be grown, and every precaution has been taken in selecting the seed-stock and in planting, cultivating, harvesting and storing. Every sort is war- ranted true to name, for mixing of varieties has been guarded against. Our Maine-grown Seed Potatoes come up quickly and grow rapidly, with strong, vigorous vines and broad leaves. They produce big crops where home-grown seed fails.
CavuTION. Do not be misled by price into buying cheaper seeds put up in barrels and branded to suit by commission merchants who have no reputation as seedsmen to sustain. An attempt to save a few cents a bushel in this way is costly economy.
For lists of varieties, see page 23. Write us for prices.
LANGDON’S NORTHERN ADIRONDACK EARLIANA TOMATOES 4
Cadwell & Jones, Seeds and Agricultural Implements, Hartford, Conn.
New Giant Lucullus Swiss Chard, or Spinach Beet
The “Giant Lucullus’’ is the most valuable improved variety of Chard. The leaves are from Io to 20 inches long, and thick and broad like rhubarb. The midribs of the leaf are Io to 12 inches long. The leaf is heavily crumpled, very crisp and tender. The midribs may be cooked like asparagus or made into very good pickles, while the leaves may be used for greens; or the leaves may be picked when they are small, and cooked entire. The seed should be sown as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, in rows 16 inches apart, and the plants should be thinned out to 6 inches in the rows. When the plants are large enough, you can cut the leaves, letting the stalks remain; new leaves will form on them throughout the season. A double row, 5 feet long, will furnish a liberal supply for a family of six persons. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 14lb. 30 cts., lb. $1.
Langdon’s Northern Adirondack Earliana Tomato
The superiority of the Earliana Tomato is so well known that it outsells all other kinds. This Tomato is a selected strain of the Earliana, grown year after year near the Canadian line, where the vines never are injured by blight, and where the short, cool season increases earliness and vigor. The Langdons have been improving this variety for nine years, saving the seed from the choicest plants in great fields, selected because of their heavy-bearing qualities, earliness, large size, thick, blocky shape, smoothness, color and uniformity in ripening. Langdon’s Earliana is superior to the ordinary stock in its earliness and in the fact that a considerable portion of the whole crop ripens early and at the same time, while other Tomatoes are scarce and prices are good. The uniformity of the crop is marked, the Tomatoes being large and smooth, with few unmarketable specimens. It is particularly desirable for the gardener who grows Tomatoes for the earliest market. Pkt. 10 cts., Y4oz. 40 ets., oz. 60 cts., lb. $2, lb. $6.
Lawn Grass Seed
We take great pride in the quality of our Lawn Grass Seed, and steady increasing sales show that this quality is appreciated. To prepare a good lawn you must have seed of the proper kind and use plenty of it; you cannot produce a fine and beautiful lawn with ordinary hay seed. Next in importance is the proper preparation of the soil. Spade or plow it deeply, fertilize freely, and make it fine, free from clods and perfectly level, avoiding uneven places.
When to Sow. Plant early in spring or fall at the rate of three or four bushels to the acre. In the spring sow as early as possible, raking the surface of the soil very fine and then sowing the seed. Cover by rolling with a light roller. In the fall sow before the autumn rains have ceased. One quart of our mixture will sow a space 16 feet square.
; 7 This is a mixture of numerous varieties selected Cap ital City Lawn Grass. especially to produce a fine, velvety turf. Some
kinds are used because they spread along the surface of the ground and keep the lawn ‘“‘knit together,” others are used because they thrive in dry weather and keep the lawn green, and still others because they thrive early in the spring and late in the fall. No one grass can make a good lawn. A scientific blending is necessary. The grasses in the Capital City Mixture are native hardy kinds which will not winter-kill, and which will produce a fine sod, not only under favorable conditions but also under trees and in shady spots. In the Capital City Mixture there is every good grass and no bad ones. It is not made from a ready-made formula, but is compounded of species generally more ex- pensive and more satisfactory than those that go into the ordinary mixture. It is not a cheap Lawn Grass but it is sold as cheaply as we can sell it considering the cost of the materials. Pt. 15 cts., qt. 25 cts., 2 qts. 45 ets., 4 qts. 75 cts., pk. $1.25, bus. of 20 Ibs. $5.

Giant Orchid-Flowered Sweet Peas
These are an entirely new type of Sweet Peas, of enormous size, and with standards and wings peculiarly waved and crinkled. The blossoms are much larger and more beautiful than any here- tofore known. Orchid-flowered Sweet Peas bloom more profusely than others. A large percentage of them bear three or four immense blossoms on each stem. The stems are large and strong, a feature of exceptional value for cutting. ;

Our Splendid Mixed Nasturtiums contain the finest sorts, comprising more than twenty distinct shades, in both tall and dwarf varieties. The colors range from pearl-white to dark chocolate, yellow and scarlet, bronze and violet-ruby, etc. Nasturtiums are grown easily, endure wet and dry weather, and thrive best on rather poor soil. They blossom profusely until frost. Good for hanging baskets, etc. Our tall and dwarf*kinds are mixed separately.
The tall sorts grow 3 to 6 feet high; the dwarf 12 to 18 inches. Price, either kind, pkt. 5. Gts:» oz. 15 cts., 2 ozs. 25 cts., 141b. 40 cts., Ib. $1.25.

FARMOGERM (Nitrogen Bacteria)
Nitrogen is the most expensive element in fertilizers. Farmogerm is a bacteria culture that causes nodules to develop on the roots of leguminous crops—peas, beans, clover, etc. The nodules take the nitrogen from the air, turning it into soluble nitrate that feeds the crops. With Farmogerm you can double your crops and successfully grow alfalfa in every section. Government REPORTS say that inoculation gives $30 worth of nitrate for $2.
A 32-page book telling all about the wonderful results obtained from Farmogerm sent free for the asking. All the nitrates you need for an acre for $2. Garden sizes for peas, beans, and sweet peas, 50 cts. each.

We have as near as possible arranged the different varieties of each sort according to their season—that is the extra early kinds first, medium early next and so on.
ASPARAGUS
Asparagus can be grown from seed or propagated from roots. Sow the seed in April or May on good soil in drills 12 to 14 inches apart. When one or two years old transplant as early in the spring as the ground can be worked into permanent beds, made very rich and thoroughly trenched 2 feet or more in depth. Set the plants in rows 2 feet apart and 12 inches between the plants in the row. Care should be taken that the roots are well spread and set at a depth of 6 inches below the level of the bed. Cover only 2 or 3 inches and fill in gradually as the plants grow. Very little, if any, should be cut the first year after transplanting, but a fair crop can be cut the second year. Every fall after the tops have been cut down, apply a dressing of coarse manure, and in the spring fork it in. An occasional top dressing of salt is also beneficial, and keeps down the weeds.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Popular for the little buds like cabbage heads, that develop thickly along the stalk. These are cooked the same as cabbage or cauliflower, and have a pleasing delicate flavor. Brussels Sprouts do best in rich, well-drained soils. Sow in seed-beds in May, transplant 2 feet apart and cultivate like cabbage. The leaves should be broken down in the fall to give the little cabbages room to grow.

DWARF or BUSH BEANS
Beans are extremely tender, and it is useless to plant them before the first or middle of May, or before the ground has become light and warm. The best soil for Beans is a light, well-drained loam which was manured for a previous crop.

CABBAGE
Always be sure that your Cabbage seed is grown from well-formed, selected heads. The ground should be a heavy, moist, rich loam, highly manured, deeply dug or plowed and thoroughly worked. For early plants sow in mid-September, and protect in coldframes through the winter. The more common way is to sow in hotbeds in February or March and prick out into coldframes. to be trans- planted when danger of frost is past. Early varieties should set 18 inches by 2 feet; fall and winter sorts 28 inches apart each way. The late autumn and winter varieties may be sown in a seed-bed, from the middle to close of spring, and transplanted when about 6 inches high. Shade and water in dry weather. See that the plants stand thinly in the seed bed; if they come up thick prick them out-into beds 4 to 6 inches apart. They can then be moved with earth attached, on a moist day, without damage. Transplant just at evening, giving each plant water at the root. Hoe every week, more deeply as they advance, drawing up a little more earth each time, until they begin to head, when they should be fairly dug between and hilled up.
One ounce of seed will produce - about 3,000 plants

CARROTS
Carrot seed should be sown in April for early and until the first of June for later crops. Make the surface smooth, and plant in drills, 14 inches apart; cover not more than 4 inch and thin to 4 inches apart in the rows. Like all root crops, a rich sandy loam, deeply cultivated, which has been well manured for a previous crop, is most suitable for Carrots. Strong, fresh manure should never be used.

CAULIFLOWER
There is no vegetable grown more delicious than the Cauliflower. With a deep, rich soil, plenty of moisture and thorough cultivation, it is as easily grown as cabbage. For early, the seed may be sown in September and the plants wintered in well-protected coldframes, or sown in hotbeds early in March and when sufficiently large transplanted in coldframes and gradually hardened by expo- sure. When the weather will permit, set in the open ground in rows 3 feet apart and 2 feet between the plants in the row. For fall crops sow at the same time, and treat in the same manner as late cabbage. Cauliflower will not head in hot, dry weather, therefore the time of planting should be regulated so they will head either in early summer or autumn. Keep well watered when they begin to head. If the leaves are drawn up and tied loosely over the head it will hasten blanching. Cut before the flower begins to open.
One ounce will produce about 2,000 plants

GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING CELERY
CELERY
Celery, more than any other vegetable, demands intelligent and careful culture. The seed is very small and is slow to germinate; with the inexperienced a good stand of plants is an exception. For early, sow in shallow boxes in gentle heat in February and March and for later sow about the middle of April in a finely prepared seed-bed, in rows so that the plants can be kept free froth weeds. Cover not more than 44 of an inch, and press down firmly with the back of the spade or a board. Be sure and keep the bed constantly moist, a partially shaded location is favorable on this account; or cover the bed with a light matting or burlap, directly on the soil until the plants begin to prick through the ground, when it should be immediately removed. When large enough to handle, thin and transplant to 4 inches apart. Clip off the tops when about 4 inches high to make them stocky. Plant out from the middle of June until the middle of July in rows 4 to 5 feet apart, and 8 inches apart in the rows. Care should be taken in setting, not to cover the crowns and to press the earth firmly about the roots. Keep:it well cultivated until a month before it is wanted, when it should be hilled or banked for blanching; this should be done gradually, usually in two or three operations a week or so apart, the last time almost to the tips of the leaves. Select a rich, deep sandy loam, rather moist.
One ounce will produce about 4,000 plants

CUCUMBERS, LONG GREEN
CUCUMBERS
For early Cucumbers, start in the hotbed about the middle of April upon pieces of heavy sod, grass side down. When the weather will permit, remove to carefully prepared hills in the open ground and protect with boxes when the air is cold. For the main crop, as soon as the weather has become settled and warm, prepare hills 4 feet apart, using a shovelful of warm, well-rotted manure to each hill; cover this 2 inches with fine earth, and plant fifteen to twenty seeds 14 of an inch deep. Press down with the back of the hoe. When the plants begin to crowd and the danger from bugs is past, thin to four vines to the hill. Pick all Cucumbers when large enough; if left to ripen on the vines they will cease to be productive. For a succession, plant at intervals. For pickles, plant from the middle of June until the middle of July. a

LETTUCE
For early plants, the seed may be sown in September and transplanted into coldframes for pro- tection during the winter, or sow in February or March in hotbeds with a moderate bottom heat, cover lightly and thin sufficiently to prevent crowding; gradually harden by exposure. Transplant to the open ground in a sheltered location in April; set in rows 1 foot apart, and 6 inches apart in the row; when heads begin to form, thin out by using alternate plants in the rows; for succession, sow in prepared beds as soon as the ground can be worked and at intervals of two weeks during the sum- mer. To be crisp and tender, its growth should be vigorous and rapid, which requires rich soil, plenty of well-rotted manure and an abundance of moisture.

MELONS
A warm, rich sandy loam is best adapted for Melon culture. The mid- dle of May is early enough for planting in the open ground, but the crop can be forwarded by starting in hotbeds on sods and transplanting the same as cucumbers. Plant in hills 6 feet apart each way for Muskmelons, and 8 feet for Watermelons. Mix in the hill one or two shovelfuls of well- rotted manure, press down and cover with earth; plant on this a dozen or more seeds 4% an inch deep. When danger of bugs is over, thin to three plants in a hill. When the main shoots are afew feet long, pinch off the ends, to force the laterals on which the fruit is borne. Spraying with Bordeaux mixture will generally prevent dam- age by bugs. Another good way is to plant squashes a few weeks before- hand, and destroy the bugs that gather on the leaves.

Mushrooms are very easy to grow in any dark place where a uniform temperature of 50 to 60 degrees may be had. A dark cellar or shed, for example. Plant from September till January, in a bed composed of one-fourth loam and three-fourths fresh horse droppings, without much litter; mix thoroughly, put into a heap to ferment and work frequently till it has cooled off somewhat.
Now prepare a bed 4 feet wide, as long as desired and build up ona firm, dry foundation. Pack the soil and manure solidly till the bed is level and about a foot high.
Thrust a thermometer into the center; when it registers 85 degrees, break the Mushroom spawn into pieces about as large as hen’s eggs and plant it 2 inches deep and Io inches apart all over the bed, cover and press down thoroughly. After ten days or two weeks, cover the bed with 2,inches of fine, fresh loam, pressed down firmly, and over this put 5 or 6 inches of straw or litter. If room is dry, spray occasionally with warm water. The Mushrooms will begin to appear in four to six weeks. They bring a good price, and are worth growing either for home or market.

ONIONS
The Onion is not so particular about the character of the original soil as many suppose. Good crops can be obtained on almost any soil not too wet or too dry, except a stiff clay, light sand, or ‘hungry gravel. It is essential, however, that the land should be made rich by the thorough incorpo- ration of manure in clean tillage for at least two years from the sod; heavy or rather clayey or moist (not wet) loam generally produces the largest Onions. If coarse manure is to be used, spread on twenty or thirty loads to the acre about the middle of November and plow in, not very deep. In March or April, as soon as the ground will work, plow 4 inches deep, and spread on a good dress- ing of fine compost, bone dust, or fertilizer. Harrow and cross har- row until the soil is fine and level. However early, a favorable op- portunity to put in the seed should not be allowed to pass. Sow in drills 12 inches apart in the garden and 14 inches apart for field cul- ture, cover Winch. It requires four to six pounds for an acre, five pounds is about right for MAMMOTH PRIZETAKER ONIONS (see page 20) medium-sized Onions, It is of

the utmost importance to use good seed, not only good strong-growing seed, but seed that has been raised from good-sized, well-ripened, selected Onions. They require three or four weedings in the row, but if care is taken in sowing to keep the rows straight and uniform the wheel hoe will run so close to them that there will be but few weeds to remove by hand. It is known to gardeners that if Onions once get choked with weeds they never fully recover so as to produce a full crop. A top dressing of wood ashes leached or unleached, applied after the second weeding is very beneficial.

PEAS
For first-early crop, sow Improved East Hart- ford Extra-early as soon as the ground can be worked in spring. Select a rich, light, sandy soil, dry and well- sheltered.
For the general crop, a deep, rich loam is best; the soil cannot be too rich for the dwarf varieties. Avoid using coarse, rank manure, as it drives the plants to vines without pods.
For market crop, sow in rows 2 to 4 feet apart according to the variety. In the kitchen garden, sow the tall varieties in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, and stick brush firmly between the rows where the vines are about 6 inches high. Sow the dwarf varieties in single rows a foot apart; cover 2 to 4 inches, according to the character of the soil and the time of planting, deepest on light soils and in late planting. Deep plant- ing prevents mildew and prolongs the bearing season, yet on cold, heavy soils the seed is liable to rot if planted deep. If drills are made 5 inches deep and the seed covered only I or 2 inches, the earth can be gradually drawn into the trench as the plants grow; in this way a good stand can be had at a good depth. The wrinkled varieties are not so hardy as the hard, smooth sorts, and cannot be planted so early; they are, however, the sweetest and best-flavored.
A succession may be had by sowing two weeks after the first- early, the early, medium-early, medium-late and late varie- ties at one time, so that they will follow for use one after the other.
One quart will plant 100 feet of drill, and 144 bushels for one acre.

POTATOES
The Potato seems to thrive in almost any soil or climate, but a good sandy loam suits it best. Old sod plowed the previous fall will produce the most abundant and certain crops. On no other crop are the results from the use of phosphates more manifest than on the Potato. Organic manure pro- motes rot and other diseases, while commercial fertilizers prevent them and will grow smooth, fine tubers. Plant as early in the spring as the ground can be thoroughly worked, in rows 3 feet apart and Io inches apart in the row; plant one or two eyes in a hill (cut from the surface to the center of the tuber), cover 3 to 4 inches. Cultivate "4 frequently from the time the young CARMAN POTATO plants appear above the surface of . the ground until they blossom. At each hoeing, throw the earth up to the plant for support and to develop the side shoots. In some sections, flat culture is preferred to ridging, especially when drought prevails, or the soil is light and sandy.
From 8 to ro bushels are required to plant an acre

TOMATOES
Tomatoes thrive best on a light, warm, not over-rich soil. For early plants sow in the hotbed in drills 3 inches apart, four or five seeds to the inch, cover lightly; or they may be started in the sunny window of a warm room. Transplant when 2 inches high into other hotbeds, or into boxes or single pots, and place in the frames; if potted, it is well to plunge the pots into the earth level with their tops. Avoid crowding the plants; 4 inches is as near as they should stand in the frames. Lift the sash on warm, sunny days, and two or three weeks before setting outside gradually harden by exposure to the night air. Set 4 feet apart each way in the open ground in May, as soon as danger from frost is past. For later use sow in the open ground in May, transplant when large enough to handle. By training the vines on trellises or tying them up to a stake the fruit will ripen better, be of
better quality and of increased productiveness.
Spark’s Earliana. The earliest large Tomato in the world; it is not only remark- able for its earliness but for its very large, uniform size, handsome shape, beautiful bright red color and wonderful productive- ness. It is smooth and solid, quite thick through and free from rough ribs and cracks. The flesh is deep red with solid center. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 30 cts., lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.50.
June Pink. As the name implies, it is in color a good deep pink, ripening equally as early as the Spark’s Earliana and possessing all its excellent qualities. It is to the pink Tomatoes what the Earliana is to the reds. Producing the fruits in clusters, uniform in size, smooth and does not crack, also without a green core, bearing abundantly throughout the season. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 30 cts., lb. 75 cts., Ib. $2.50.
Chalk’s Early Jewel. With- in one week or ten days as early as the famous Spark’s Earliana, the fruits are uni- formly larger, thicker through, more solid and of finer quality. Both early and throughout the season the Tomatoes are uniformly of good size. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 30 cts., lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.50.
Dwarf Champion. The plants grow stiff and upright, with thick-jointed stems and foliage unlike most others, of an unusually dark green color; thick and corrugated; the fruit is medium in size, of a purplish pink color; very smooth and symmetrical in shape, ripening close around the stem. It matures the fruit very early and is very productive. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 30 cts., M4lb. 7svets:; lib: $2.50.
Livingston’s Dwarf Stone. Is another splendid new variety from Livingston. It resem- bles the Dwarf Champion in vine, with fruit double the size, yet equally early.

TURNIPS
The old adage ‘‘sow Turnips the 25th of July, wet or dry”’ still holds good for the main crop, but excellent results are often obtained from seed planted early in August. New land, plowed the pre- vious spring, is good; harrow thoroughly and dress liberally with first-class commercial fertilizer. Sow broadcast and rake or bush in. For summer use, sow early flat varieties as soon as ground can be worked in spring in drills 12 to 14 inches apart; cover lightly and thin to 6 or 8 inches apart in the rows. Don’t use fresh manure, as it makes the tubers rough and useless.

Flower Seeds BRIEF HINTS ON SOWING AND CULTIVATION
The Soil. A mellow loam, which is a medium earth between the extremes ot clay and sand, enriched with a compost of rotten manure and leaf-mold, is adapted to the general run of flowering plants. Previous to planting flower-beds or borders, care must be taken that they are so arranged that the ground may bea little elevated in the middle, that the water may run off, and that the plants may show to better advantage.
Sowing the Seed. Nine-tenths of the failures in flower culture come from improper treatment of the seeds and young plants. We urge every purchaser of our seeds to carefully study the cultural directions printed on each package, and the following general rules.
Do not plant any of the seeds when the ground is wet. Make the surface as fine and smooth as possible. Cover each sort of seed to a depth proportionate to its size; the finest, like Portulaca, Campanula, Digitalis, etc., should be merely sprinkled on the surface of the ground, and barely covered with finely sifted, light, mellow soil. Press the soil down firmly over the seed with a brick or short piece of board. For large seeds, the depth should be regulated according to the size of the seed; those the size of a pin-head, M4inch deep, and those the size of a pea, 34 of an inch.
Procure a bit of lath (it would be better if planed smooth) about 2 feet long, press the edge down into the soil evenly, so as to make a groove as deep as the seed is to be planted; scatter the seed along this, allowing four or five of the larger to fifteen or twenty of the smaller seeds to the space one plant is to occupy when grown. Cover the seed by pressing the earth together over it, then turn your lath sideways and press the soil down firmly and evenly.

NASTURTIUM
Nasturtiums are valuable summer-flowering plants, for the reason that they require but little care, and stand heat and drought well. Seed sown inthe spring in any fair garden soil, not too rich, will produce a profusion of blooms. The colors include all the shades of yellow and scarlet, often spotted and striped. The leaves of some are very [ight, transparent green, while in others they are very dark, almost purplish. In mixtures which we make up of separate named sorts, the best English, also French and German grown varieties are found in great variety and cannot be surpassed. Hardy annuals.

SWEET PEAS
Without doubt Sweet Peas are more generally grown than any other flower, but no more so than such a beautiful and fragrant flower de- serves. Specialists and enthusiasts in its culture are continually bringing out new varieties which are improvements upon the older sorts in color and form, until the list now runs up among the hundreds. In the following list we have dis- carded many of the older ones without sacrificing a single variety not reproduced in an improved larger form under another name, thus simplify- ing the process of selection.
For a Mixed Row we especially recommend Cadwell and Jones’ Splendid Mixed, which is made up of all the named sorts listed below, in good proportions, so that the effect while in bloom on the vines or for bunching is hand- some.

Selected Farm Seeds
SEED GRAINS
Prices on seed in the following list fluctuate with the market, and will be quoted on reyuest
Barley
Barley is largely grown in New England for a late fodder crop. It can be sown from early spring until September; as it withstands the most severe frosts, it makes the best of green feed long after all other kinds are gone. It is also often mixed with field peas, being equally hardy. Sow about two bushels per acre; if with peas, one bushel of each.
Rye
Spring. This is especially valuable for a “catch crop’ to sow where winter grain has failed. The straw is some shorter and stiffer than the winter variety and is always easily secured, while the grain, although smaller, is of equal value. Sow about one and one-half bushels per acre.
Winter White. Sow from the middle of August to the last of September. Prepare the ground as for wheat and sow broadcast, or with a drill at the rate of one and one-half bushels per acre. This has no equal as a crop to be used for late fall and early spring pasture, and is-one of the best to turn under for green manure.
Japanese Buckwheat
Plants large and vigorous, maturing seed early and resisting drought and blight remarkably well; the grain is much larger and has a thinner hull than the Common or Silver Hull. Buck- wheat should be sown about the 2oth of June, broadcast, at the rate of about three pecks per acre; the average yield being from twenty-five to thirty bushels. It should be threshed as soon as dry, for if allowed to stand in mass, it quickly gathers moisture. The flowers make a splendid forage for bees, which fly for considerable dis- tances to reach them.
Wheat
Spring and Winter.

ENSILAGE AND FODDER CROPS
PEAS FOR FODDER. For the northern states there is no crop of greater value than Field Peas and none is more neglected, which can only be attributed to a lack of knowl- edge as to its merits. Whether for fodder, in mixture with oats or barley, or sown alone for plowing under, there is no crop that we can so strongly recommend as Peas for more extended culture. Like all leguminous crops, Peas have the power of extracting nitrogen from the air, and the soil from which a crop of Peas has been harvested is richer in nitrogen than before the Peas were sown upon it, and there is no kind of live stock on the farm to which Peas and Oats or Barley in mixture cannot be fed, to posi- tive advantage. Prices subject to change.
Canada Field Peas. $2.50 per bus.
Black-eyed Marrowfat Peas. $4.75 per bus.
Blount’s Prolific Corn. $2 per bus.
Leaming’s Dent Corn. $1.75 per bus.

LEGUMINOUS CROPS
To Plow Under for Green Manuring
Cow-Peas
The great soil improver. Makes poor land rich. Makes good land more productive. There is no surer or cheaper means of improving and increasing the productiveness of soils than by sowing the Cow-pea. It has more than any other leguminous plant the power to extract from the atmosphere nitrogen or ammonia and store this most costly of soil enrichers in its vines and roots, so that even if the crop is cut off for fodder or ensilage, the soil is greatly improved. Where it is desired to turn the whole crop under as a soil improver, it is better to do so after the vines are partly dead.
Cow-peas and Soja Beans may be sown in June or early in July after crops of grain, early vegetables, potatoes or strawberries, and make an enormous growth by October, and have the

or other green crops at the last cultivation in midsummer.
On account of fluctuations in values which we eannot anticipate at the time our Catalogue is issued in January, prices will be quoted upon application.
Wonderful, or Unknown. This popular variety, in yield and growth of vines, surpasses any of the varieties of Cow Peas. It will also hold its leaves and foliage better than other kinds, which gives it a decided advantage where it is sown for forage.
Whippoorwill. A favorite early bunch- growing variety, with brown-speckled seed. This
variety is a prime favorite in the North and West on account of its early maturity and habit of growth.
Mixed Cow Peas. In the Mixed Cow Peas are the Clay, Southdown, Wonderful, Whippoor- will and other southern varieties. A great many farmers prefer to sow in mixture, as they grow thicker, producing a better crop of vines and forage, than sowing single varieties alone.
Soja Beans
Unquestionably the richest and most nutri- tious forage and feed crop grown, making the “Balanced Feed’’ for hogs, dairy cows, and fat- tening stock. Is a splendid soil improver and is unequaled as a drought-resisting crop.

FERTILIZERS
Essex Grass Dressing
This superior dressing is made from chemicals, and is so prepared that it acts gradually through- out the season, producing a luxuriant growth of grass of arich green color. It is far superior to lumpy, strawy manure, which disfigures the lawn and gives off an offensive odor. It is less expen- sive than manure, is nearly odorless, and is easily applied at any time during the spring, summer, or autumn, or as often as the grass seems to need nourishment. It is also an excellent fertilizer tor the kitchen garden, and may be used on all garden crops, vegetables, fruits, flowers, etc., in place of stable manure. Price, 25-lb. bags, $1; 50-lb. bags, $1.75; 100-lb. bags, $3.
Fine Ground Knuckle Bone
Pure bone is a most valuable fertilizer for all crops and plants. It can be applied at any time, in any quantity desired without danger of doing harm to plant life. As it is not soluble in water and comes into use only by organic decay, it is much slower in action than the chemical fertilizers, but retains the effects in the soil correspondingly longer, making it valuable to use on grass plots in conjunction with chemical fertilizers coming into use in midsummer and autumn to enrich the soil and feed the roots after the other fertilizers have been exhausted. The grade we handle is strictly pure, ground from knuckle bones free from meat and marrow, therefore as odorless as flour. Prices, per lb. 5 cts., 25 lbs. 75 cts., 50 lbs. $1.35, 100 lbs., $2.40, per ton, $40.

Sheep Manure
This is a pure natural manure, and the most nutri- | tious food for plants. Its effect is immediate, much more lasting and healthy than guano or any other manure. It is the best of all manures for mixing with the soil for greenhouse plants. It makes the richest, safest and quickest liquid manure, rivaling guano, without dele- terious effects. For flower or vegetable gardens, and as top dressing for lawns it is unequaled. For mixing with soil, take one part manure to six parts soil. For making a liquid, take one pound manure to five gal- 7 lons of water, which can be used with safety daily, if
necessary. Per Ib. 5 cts., 25 lbs. 75 cts., 50 Ibs. $1. 25, 100-lb. bag $2, 500 Ibs. or more, special prices upon ap- plication.
Essex Complete Manure
For Corn, Grain and Grass.—We especially
| Sa ‘ recommend this manure for top-dressing grass land.
ME It is very rich in potash, is rapidly available and will
greatly increase the yield of grass. Use 400 to 500 pounds to the acre. The fertilizer can also be
used with excellent results for seeding to grass. Use 400 to 500 pounds at the time of seeding.
The next year it should be top- -dressed in the spring with about the same quantity per acre, in or- der to get the best results. Per lb. 5 cts., 25 lbs. 75 cts., 50 lbs. $1.40, 100-lb. bag $2.50.
