“ut WV Ja New and Valuable Be rictics

Worthy of Special Consideration

Fordhook Bush Lima.

In our trial grounds last summer this variety distinguished itself by the great proportion of pods that set, in comparison with the amount of vine and foliage. The fruitage was well towards the center of the plant; an abundance of well-filled pods. The shelled beans are so much larger and thicker than all other varieties of its class that the aggregate yield is much greater. Price per pkt., 10c.; per qt., 50c.; per bu., $10.00.

Burpee’s improved Bush Lima,

We have tried this out with other well-known varieties for two years, and pronounce it the acme of perfection in both plant and product. The former vigorous and upright, branching well and carrying the pods out somewhat from the center, admitting full development, which is evidenced by specimens bearing five or six beans. It is the finest type of the true large bush lima. Price per pkt., 10c.; per qt., "50c.: per bu., $10.00.

Carpinteria Lima Beans,

The new large lima, of light green shade. It is a large podded, many seeded, heavy cropping strain of the Large White or flat pod class. The pods are unusually long and seed slightly tinged with green, of long oval form and distinct as to character. Quality, all that can be desired. It closely resembles our King of the Garden, introduced by us in 1877, except in size of beans, which shelled are larger and about one-third longer. Price per pkt., 10c.; per qt., 40c.; per bu., $7.00.

Early Wonder Beet.

A tew laps ahead of all the other beets—extremely early, ee round—dark red: fine tex- ture and flavor. The market gardeners’ favorite. Price per pkt., 5c.; , 10c.; -%-Ib., 40c.; 1b., $1.50.

Enkhuizen’s | Glory Gabbage.

New and a winner. Very early, large size, maturing with the Early Flat Dutch, making a fine, large, ball-shaped head, particularly attractive for market purposes. One of the best for market gardeners. Price per pkt., 5c.; per oz.

30c.; per lb., $3.00.

Gopenhagen Market Gabbage.

Copenhagen Market (the wonder in cabbage land), ten days earlier than Enkhuisen Glory, and larger than the Winter Ball Head; very hard, solid and ‘worm-proof. Short stem and maturing with the Charleston Wakefield. Per pkt., 5e-3°0Z,, 50e;;34-|b., $1,505 bs 7Sa0er

Chicago Self-Blanching Gelery. One of the Finest Varieties Ever Introduced.

This Celery first came to our notice through a small sample of the seed sent to us for trial by the owner of the original stock. It was care- fully attended to throughout its growing period and de- veloped rapidly, making an early, large, heavy stalk, of the self-blanching habit. Fo- liage variegated, with green and white, similary to White Plume, but differently mot- tled. Chicago celery is strong- er than White Plume, heads being about six inches taller; very large, solid hearts. Quality very sweet, tender, free from string, toughness or bitter taste; superior to any other early self-blanch- ine wanety, Pkt, 25C-; . OZ,

Morse’s Golden Gream Sweet Gorn.

The demand for a genuine nov- elty could hardy be more com- pletely satisfied this year than by the introduction of our “Morse’s Golden Cream Sweet Corn. Of California origin, resulting from a cross of Country Gentleman and Golden Bantam.

Morse’s Golden Cream is a very early yellow Country Gentleman Sweet Corn. Kernels long and pointed; cob very slender; the whole ear about as long as Golden Bantam. Flavor is remarkable— in fact, much the same as Golden Bantam. Habit of growth rather dwarf and stalks bear two to four ears and are brownish red; silk is also brown at tips.

Gabbage. Kopf Kohl—Berza de Repollo—Cappuccie.

The Cabbage requires a deep, rich soil and thorough working. For early use the plants should be started in a hotbed or cold frame; but seed for winter cabbage should be sown in a seed bed early in the spring. Some of the large late varieties seem to do well if the seed is sown in the hills where they are to remain, and in that case sow two to three seeds where each plant is desired, and then pull up all but the strongest. Plant the large varieties three feet apart; the small, early sorts from a foot to eighteen inches. The Savoy cabbages have wrinkled leaves, and are of

fine flavor, especially after a little frost has touched them in the autumn. ht ey Lb.

GARDEN AND SEED MANUAL. 29

Peas. Erbsen—Chichoros—Pirelli.

Wrinkled varieties marked with an Culture. Peas, for an early crop, should be sown as soon as the ground is in working condition. The soil for their reception*should be light and dry. For general crops the ground should be well ma- nured the previous year, which causes them to yield more abundantly. They are usually planted in double rows three cr four inches apart, and covered to the depth of two and one-half to threc inches. All wrinkled peas are superior and more delicate in flavor than those that present a full and perfect form; like sugar corn, the saccharine matter which they contain causes them to shrivel when dried, and they will remain much longer in season than the other kinds.

FARM, GARDEN AND SEED MANUAL. 39 Witloof Ghicory.

A bushy, crisp, Winter Vegetable. Sometimes called French Endive. This makes. one of the most delicious of all salads. It is also an excellent dish boiled. The seed is planted in May or June in the open ground and in the fall the roots are dug. The roots are then planted in earth in a dark, cool place in the cellar or under green- house bench. Finely blanched, crisp leaves are then thrown out, and when cut new leaves form. The roots keep a long time and may be planted so that a fresh and delicious salad may be had all winter. Fancy fruit and vegetable dealers have imported this vegetable from France on account, of its delicious flavor. Price per Dkinnoc.; per oz. Z0c.; per %4-lb..40c:: per 1b., $1.50.

Sweet, or Pot and Medicinal Herbs.

A few pot herbs, or sweet herbs, as they are usually called, should have a place in every vegetable garden. A very small space in the garden will give all the herbs needed in any family. The culture is very simple, and the best way is to make a little seed bed in early spring, and set the plants out as soon as large enough. As a general rule, it is best to cut herbs when in flower, tie them up in small bunches and hang in the shade to dry.

The following is a list of herbs most cultivated and

The Frank S. Platt Co., New Haven, Conn. Ridgefield, Conn., August 7, 1912.

Dear Sirs:

Enclosed you should find check in settlement for the two shipments of alfalfa seed.

The last lot was received Saturday morning. Tested the first lot; it showed in thir- ty-six hours and is now nearly an inch high. This certainly promises well. Yours truly,

WILLIAM BUNKER.

Frank S. Platt Co., New Haven, Conn. Mansfield Center, Conn., March 24, 1912. Dear Sirs:

Please send your catalogue and prices of “Grass seeds.”

As a student of Agriculture I wish most conclusively to state that the alfalfa seed which I bought of you was far better than any other which I could have possibly bought of any other “Seedsman.” The germination test was excellent.

Yours respectfully, C. G. HALL.

Grass Seed for Lawns, Etc.

In laying out a piece of ground for a lawn, care should be exercised to obtain the proper | grade and slope, and perfect the general plan of the grounds before attempting to sow any seed at all. After the correct grade has been obtained, and the surface sufficiently plowed or spaded, it should be thoroughly harrowed to pulverize the lumps. and so left that there may be at least frem five to ten inches of good rich soil over the whole surface. Then all the roots and loose stones should be removed, and the surface bushed er raked down perfectly smooth, and in a suitable condition for successful germination and growth of the fine seed, which is used for seeding. The preparation of most lawn seeds is composed of the finest kind of grasses, and for that reason should be sown much thicker than the coarse sorts that are used in field seeding. After sowing the seed, rake or harrow the surface lightly, and then roll thoroughly, to smooth off, and leave in good condition.

Edgewood Park Lawn Grass Seed.

OUR SPECIAL MIXTURE. This formula is prepared on a well-balanced and carefully con- sidered valuation of the fine dark green varieties in combination with our indigenous frost-proof,

heat-resisting grasses, and we are satisfied that we have the very best combination of grasses for lawn making (without white clover) that our experience can produce. All the seeds used in this mixture are of exception- al purity, graded, fancy recleaned. On account of their concentrated character and purity, much less bulk is required for a given area. Sold by weight only. Price per lb., 35c.; perl0 Ibs., $3.25; per 100 lbs., $30.00.

Gountry Club Golf Links.

A good article for large areas, or seeding the grounds about the new home. It is prepared with a well-balanced proportion of fibrous-rooted grasses that alone are the perfect composition of a

firm, tenacious turf. These varieties are not selected with especial reference to their height, as that feature is regulated by the lawn mower, but more particularly the turf forming properties and continuity of development, thus insuring a succession of ripening. Per qt., 25c.; per Y%-bu., 75c.; per %4-bu., $1.85; per bu., $5.00.

Platt’s Evergreen Lawn Mixture.

This mixture is the finest in quality that we prepare for general situations. It is composed of

a judicious combination of the short fine growing varieties that have proved most valuable. It is perfectly adapted to the soil and climate of New Haven, as evidenced by the many beautiful lawns and parks that have been developed and seeded with ‘“‘Platt’s Evergreen Lawn Mixture’ for more than a quarter of a century. Price per qt., 25c.; per %-bu., 75c.; per %-bu., $1.35; per bu., $5.00.

Fine Lawn Grass Seed--Fine Mixture.

This is composed entirely of indigenous grasses of the finer grades, and in sufficient variety to produce throughout the spring, summer and autumn very satisfactory results. Price per qt., 20c.; per ¥g-bu., 60c.; per %4-bu., $1.10; per bu., $4.00.

Woody Grest or “‘ Shady Nook.’’

__. Many beautiful lawns are marred by bare spots under trees and near ornamental shrubbery or buildings. The Woody Crest Lawn Seed is the happy solution of this difficulty, and if applied under

proper conditions of soil preparation, cannot fail of satisfactory results.

Our Woody Crest is composed mainly of short fine grasses that abound in similar situations; made up exclu- sively for places that get but little sunshine.

For best results the land must be dug deeply, removing roots of trees and vines, these being mainly responsible for lack of grass roots. A heavy coat of manure, dug in, and a dressing of bone, when seeding, should complete the neces- Sary preparation. Per qt., 25c.; per %-bu., 75c.; per %4-bu., $1.35; per bu., $5.00.

ASTER, PLATT’S LATE BRANCHING.

Platt’s Superb Late Branching. Undoubtedly the most popular and deservedly so. It has been called “Money Maker,” always demanding the highest price. While there are many other beautiful varieties for the colors here listed, they are unexcelled as a standard. Plants large, vig- orous, branching, with strong stems. Flowers of great size, very full to the center. Our strain of this superb aster has been grown for us with such care we unhesitatingly believe it is unsur-

passed. Pkt. Y%-oz. Oz. Lavender: sincoc eee 10c. 40c. $1.50 Deep Pink’ <7) ee eee L0G nOUE R225 Purple. we. 2 28S ae eee 10c. -40c. — 1.50 ROS@ (4.0.05. 6 ny ae ee ee 10c. 40c. 1.50 White: ana See eee eee 10¢. °- 4065; G50) Mixed rin euics ota ee ees 10e. (35ers ie25

King Asters. The plants are similar in growth to the late branching, except the white and rose, which are more upright. The flowers are dis- tinct, having long, narrow, folded petals, present- ing a most pleasing and beautiful appearance. We are pleased to offer White King (new last year), blooms about same time as late branching.

68 THE FRANK S. PLATT. COMPANY’S Double Tuberose.

The tuberose, being a native of a tropical climate, requires the extreme heat of summer, and will not bloom till late, unless started in the forcing- house or hot-bed, in February or March. They may be transferred to open ground after the soil has become warm, and settled summer weath- er prevails. The bulbs are extremely sensitive; a slight freezing destroys the crown or heart.

FARM, GARDEN AND

John Deere Two-Way Sulky Plow.

The entire plow is high grade, being made of high carbon steel and malleable iron. In this respect it should not be classed with cheap plows, which are constructed, for the most part, of cast iron,

The frame is of high carbon steel, and built for strength. The axles, bails, levers and wheels are steel. The wheels have staggered spokes, wide tires and dust-proof boxes, and are the strongest known. The wid:h between the wheels is greater than on any other two-way plow. Our beams do not spring or break.

The moldboards are soft center steel and double shinned by welding a piece of solid steel to the edge where the hardest wear comes. The landsides are thicker by far than those in use on other plows and are fitted with a runner which takes all wear from the bottom and reduces friction. Shares are hard- ened steel, which may be sharpened at will.

Each sulky furnished with either jointer or cut- ter at option of purchaser. Neckyoke, two-horse evener and wrench. Convertible two and _ three- horse evener and rolling coulter, when wanted, at a slight additional cost.

Double angling levers for hillside work or lap- ping lands. Can be handled by a boy.

Cuts out middles because inner discs always run close. End thrust is not taken on clumsy bump- ers, but by rigid gang arch.

Dust-proof, hard-wood bearings soaked in oil.

Absolutely strongest harrow built.

Fitted with neck-yoke and three-horse evener.

Success Manure Spreader.

Pw

Why Should the Wise Buyer Purchase a Success Manure Spreader ?

It has the largest axles of any Spreader on the market.

It is the only Spreader sold, the frame of which is constructed of second-growth white ash.

It is driven from both ends of the axle, and from both wheels of the machine.

The parts attached to the axle are keyed on. No set screws are used in holding parts to shafts. It is the only machine made heaving a beater free- ing device. This relieves the cylinder when the machine is thrown in gear and prevents undue strain.

It has more superior features than any other Spreader on the market.

Send for special catalogue, which describes and illustrates fully.

Mandy Lee Incubators and Brooders Excel!

The Incubator has two dampers, working to- gether, controlling heat, moisture and ventila- tion automatically. As heat rises above 102 de- grees the dampers open, the moisture damper

rising the more rapidly, cutting off the heat from the machine, opening the pipe from egg chamber jand releasing the accumulated moisture. In oth- er words, if heat becomes too high, more ventila- tion is given and moisture reduced. Other strong points are the hygrometer, new moisture pan, au- tomatic control of lamp and the drop bottom. The two small machines have not the moisture device. Either section of the 600-egg machine may be operated independently and set at differ- ‘ent times. Occupies only 12 sq. ft. floor space. The brooder has glass top feeding compartment, /covered runway at back, etc. The hover is long Pod narrow, supplying overhead heat, the ideal plan.

In offering Smith’s Lice Killing Powder, we present a powder that we believe to be stronger than any other preparation sold for the pur- pose. It is carefully compounded and contains no chemicals that will injure young chicks or the fertility of eggs, so it may be used freely about the nests of laying or setting hens without danger. Pos- itively will kill lice on poultry, cattle and horses, ticks on sheep and fleas on dogs. Can be used on plants and bushes as a protection ‘against bugs and lice; as an insecticide it is without a peer. A trial package will convince you. ws

The Norwich Automatic Exerciser and Feeder. Has established itself as the standard method of feeding in poultry culture. By its use waste is completely and absolutely eliminated. Every grain of feed goes into the flock, saving approximately 25 per cent, while the labor is reduced to filling the hopper. Necessitating slow feeding and exercise, each chick or fowl must work and is fed exactly the same. The result is increased egg production, and the uniformity of the flock is at once apparent. Guaranteed to pay for itself in actual saving of grain in 90 days.

The Norwich Automatic Air Lock Fountain. Solves the problem of supplying water to poultry in winter, as well as summer. The fount works on the siphon principle. When the water in the cup is used up, the cup is immediately filled up again with clean fresh water. There is no possible way for the water in the reservoir to become contaminated, the water always flowing downward. The heater is a most important part, being so arranged that the flame cannot be blown out by draughts or the flapping of birds’ wings. The heat holes are thoroughly protected with wire gauze, thus eliminating all danger from fire after the fount has been hooked to the floor. Capacity, five gallons.

Price complete, $2.50; without burner base, $1.75.

Banner Root Gutters Nos. 7 and 28.

Here are illustrations of the Banner Nos. 7 and 28 Root and Vegetable Cutters, a machine made expressly for poultrymen. It quickly cuts the vegetables into long, round, ribbon-like slices that. resemble a bunch of angle worms, which fowls readily eat up to the last morsel. The value of this kind of food once or twice a day, as an egg producer, is unequaled. It also puts the fowls into a fine healthy condition, acting as a gentle tonic and laxative. This machine will pay for it- self in a short time. It is a valuable addition to the poultry house, and is highly recommended by the best poultry experts in the country. Prices. $5.00 and $18.00 F. O. B. New Haven.

Gaponizing Sets. Poultry keepers can double their profits by caponizing their young roosters. The operation is very simple, full directions accompanying each set. Caponizing changes the disposition of the fowl. He becomes lazy and puts on flesh astonishingly fast, often weighing 10 to 15 pounds. The

demand far exceeds the supply, even though the price of capon is double that of ordinary fowls. Price, complete, $2.50. In wooden case, $2.75.

BEE HIVES. The Buckeye.

The Buckeye or Double Walled Hive is the one most suit- ed to our changeable climate. A well-made double walled hive, with spaces between the walls filled with packing ma- terial, will furnish more bees for the harvest, more honey, and more comb to store it in than any single walled hive. As the name signifies, this packed hive has two walls ot three- eighths lumber, lock cornered together. The top of the brood chamber is so constructed that any of the furniture, hive bodies, or supers, that fit the regular single walled hives, will also fit our double walled chaff hive.

The cover is protected with roofing tin and cannot leak. New style moveable bottom. This hive is made only in 10 frame size.
