Cabbage— Copenhagen Market
This is the finest large round-headed me- dium early cabbage; the heads maturing all at the same time. They average about 10 pounds each ; are very solid with small core and of fine quality. Sowed in March, they are ready for market the latter part of August, in our trial ground, and are about as early as Charleston Wakefield, but will give a much heavier yield per acre. It is short stemmed, with small saucer-shaped light green leaves, always tightly folded, and can, therefore, be planted very close.
Pkt., 10c ; i/o oz., 40c; 1 oz., 75c ; ^ lb., $2.50.

CHALK’S EARLY JEWEL TOMATO.
It is about one week later than Earliana but is a heavier cropper with tomatoes larger and sweeter fla- vored. The plant is of a strong, robust growth with ample foliage to protect the fruits from sunscald and not liable to blight. The fruits are large, bright scarlet,' smooth, round, solidly meated with few small seed cells. This tomato is one of the very best for gardens where extra fine, early tomatoes are desired.

Climbing American Beauty Rose
NEW
ClimbiniL; American Beauty Rose.
The Climbing American Beauty is the result of a cross between an unnamed seedling and the grand old American Beauty, thereby producing an American Beauty rose of the same color, size and fragrance as its parent, with the addition of beautiful, lasting foliage and better blooming quality. One plant of this new rose will pro- duce twenty times as many blooms in June as the old American Beauty, besides blooming occasionally during the summer. The roses grow on single stems, measure three to four inches in diameter, and have an exquisite fragrance. While the old American Beauty is rarely satis- factory planted in the open ground, this new rose has proved perfectly hardy, stands heat and drought well, and the foliage is green and beautiful until the snow falls. It can be trained to trellises and porches, grown in bush form, and is unequaled as a pillar rose. Our plants are not budded, but grown on their own root. Price, each, 75c, postpaid.
Feterita
This new variety of Durha, introduced from the Sudan, produces stalks of medium size, bearing 10 to 12 leaves and a large upright head, well filled with pure white or bluish white seeds. The grain is larger than that of Milo and softer than Kaffir. Its feeding value is equal to either Milo or Kaffir. It is about 25 days earlier than Kaffir and yields considerably more. Eighty bushels per acre was reported last year. It should be planted about 2 weeks later than Indian Corn as it is more liable to rot in the ground. Sow in hills 40 to 44 inches apart each way and cover 1 to 2 inches deep. When sown in hills 3 to 5 lbs. will sow one acre; if sown for fodder, with a grain drill, it takes about 75 lbs. per acre.
Lb., 15c ; 5 lbs., 50c. If wanted in quantity ask for price.

Artichoke
CULTURE. Sow in April in rich soil, and transplant the following spring to permanent beds in hills three feet apart and two feet between the plants. Green Artichoke gives a partial crop the first season if the plants are started in hot beds in February and March. The beds will remain in bearing for years. Protect in winter by a covering of leaves or coarse- manure.

Asparagus
CULTURE. The seed should be sown in March or April just as soon as the ground, can be worked, in good, rich mellow soil, in drills one foot apart, then covered from % to % inch deep. The following spring the young plants should be set in their per- manent places. The soil for them should be made as rich as possible, bearing in mind that the beds are to bear many years, and that it is easier to work in a good supply of manure before the plants are set than after. Dig a trench two feet deep, mix plenty manure with the top soil and fill the trench 1% feet; they lay the plants, being careful to spread the roots, from 1% to 2 feet apart, and then fill up the trench. The trenches should be from 2 to 4 feet apart. Large fields may be planted by plowing deeply 10 to 14 inches without trenching and plants set 2% feet in rows 4 to iV2 feet apart, in which case it takes about 4,000 plants to an acre. 1,600 to 2,000 bunches can be harvested on one acre, if in good bearing condition. Asparagus does best in light, well drained soils; they come sooner and send out more shoots than if planted in stiff, heavy soils. One ounce will produce about 600 plants, and it takes about 11,000 plants to cover one acre, if planted 2 feet each way.
For full direction, how to grow asparagus, get our Asparagus book, by Hexamer. Price, 50c.

MANGEL WURZEL AND SUGAR BEET FOR STOCK FEEDING
If not prepaid, lb., 40c; X ll>»., $1.10; 5 lbs., $1.75.
CULTURE. They require a soil plowed deeper and the drills further apart than garden beets. Sow in April or beginning of May in drills from 2 to 3 feet apart, and when 4 or 5 inches high thin to 12 or 18 inches in the row. As soon as frost comes, dig up the roots, cut tops off and pile them about 5 or 6 feet deep on a raised and sloping situation and covering at rst with straw or hay and 1 inch of earth. As it gets colder, increase to 5 or G inches, by so doing all danger of heating is obviated and the roots keep until next summer. Four or five pounds to one acre.

CABBAGE
CULTURE. For early cabbages sow the seed in a hot bed, in March or April, covering the seed from % to y2 inch deep and, when big enough, transplant to another bed. As soon as the ground is in good condition, transplant outside, in rows 2 feet apart and 15 to 18 inches in the row. The soil should be mellow, rich and well drained. For late crop the seed can be sowed in a cold frame, or even in the open ground, and then transplant in rows 3 feet one way and 2 feet the other, so as to be able to work with a horse and cultivator. One ounce of saltpeter dissolved in 3 gallons of water sprinkled over the cabbages or cauliflowers will destroy the green worm. The liquid, being clear, does not color the cauliflower or cab- bage heads. Fine air-slacked lime or tobacco dust, sifted on the young plants, as soon as the fleas appear on the ground, will prevent them from doing any harm.
One ounce will produce about 2,000 plants. About 16,00 0 early or 8,000 late cabbages plant one acre.

BARTELDES’ SURE HEADER WINNIGSTADT.
A strain of the well known Winnigstadt Cabbage, but improved by several years’ selection of the earliest, hardiest and best formed heads, used for seed raising. Plants are almost sure headers, having produced 98 heads out of 100 plants set. Tt does well in any soil, but if planted in a rich soil will produce one of the largest heads among pointed head varieties. It is good for early planting or for winter use, its keep- ing qualities being equal to Danish Railhead. We recommend it strongly. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; % U>., 65c; lb., $2.00.
TRUE JERSEY WAKEFIELD.
This is an admirable sort, suited to the family and market garden. The heads begin to mature in the latter end of June to the first of July, and may be cut in succession for several weeks. Our seed is true Long Island grown.

Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; % lb., 75c; lb., $2.25.
EARLY SPRING.
Its great value lies in its being the earliest flat cabbage, a type much preferred over the pointed heads by many. The heads have few outside leaves, and these are small and grow so close to the head that they can be planted very close together.
Pkt., 5c; oz., 20e; % lb., 60c; lb., $1.75.
ALL-HEAD EARLY.
It is among the earliest of the large cabbages. It is fully one-third larger than the Early Summer. Ihe deep, flat heads are remarkably solid and uni- form in color as well as in shape and size. It is very tender and of fine quality
Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; % lb., 60c; lb., $1.75.
EARLY SUMMER.
This variety is about five days later than the ^ akefield, but being fully double the size it may be classed as one of the best Large Early Cabbages; m weight it is about equal to most of the late varieties, and its short outer leaves enable it to be planted nearly as close as the Wakefield.

CAULIFLOWER
CULTURE. The same as for cabbage, except that extra manure and plenty water will pay with cauliflower. If the soil be dry, water frequently, and if the plants could have a heavy mulch of hay or straw it would keep the soil moist, and the plants would not suffer from a drouth. The early kinds should be strong enough to plant out not later than May 1st; the late kinds may be planted out same time as cabbage. To destroy the Cauliflower Maggot, it is recommended to take one ounce of sulphuret of potassium and dissolve it in one gallon of water. Heat the liquid to about 100 degrees, take a large spoon, or something that will hold the one-hundredth part of a gallon, and pour the liquid against the stalk of the plant just above the ground.
One ounce produces 1,500 plants; 15,000 plants will cover one acre.
We grow large quantities of Cauliflower and Cabbage Plants, usually ready through May and June. See back part of catalogue.

BARTELDES LATE SNOWBALL OR DRY WEATHER.
This splendid Cauliflower, introduced by us in 1907 to Western Planters has proven to be a perfect “success.” Samples weighing 8 and 11 pounds have been brought to us with the statement that they aver- age 7 pounds in large fields planted with this stock. We feel satisfied that it answers the purpose we have been seeking; that is, to furnish a Cauliflower well adapted to our Western country, for use in summer. Is about 2 weeks later than Danish Snow- ball. It has a larger head, solid, white and very fine grained. The leaves are large and have a tendency to fold over the head to protect it from the scorching sun of our summer months. It also stands the drouth better than any other Cauliflower grown.

CELERY
Barteldes’ Golden Self-Branching.
CULTURE. For early celery the seed is sown in February or March, in hot-bed, in drills 4 to 6 inches apart, and covered about of an inch deep. When fairly out of seed leaf, they are trans- planted in another bed, or can be thinned out to 2 or 3 inches in the row and left growing till needed to plant outside. In April they are planted in the field, in rows, 2 to 4 feet apart, and set 6 inches in the row. In planting press the ground around the plants, but be careful not to let the earth get into the
heart. The soil should be made very rich and the plants will have to be earthed up three or four times during their
growth. The summer varieties, such as Golden Self-Blanching and White Plume, do not need any more care to bleach, but the winter varieties need to be banked up. Celery needs more water than other garden crops, and, if allowed to suffer from want of water, is liable to get soft. For winter use, sow the seed outside in latter part of April or beginning of May, in beds, and transplant, to the field, in July. The rows should be 2 feet apart, if the roots are to be dug out, and put in trenches to bleach or four feet apart if wanted to bleach on the same spot where growns. When cold weather sets in, dig a trench in a high and well drained place, one foot wide and of a depth a few inches less than the height of celery. Set
your plants closely in it and cover gradually with straw or hay and earth, as the weather gets colder. The top of the
trench should be sloping to allow water to run off. One ounce produces 4,000 plants and it takes about 42,000 plants to set one acre if rows are two feet apart.

CULTURE. All varieties of sweet corn may be either sown in rows, 4 44 feet apart, and the seeds planted about eight inches in the row, or planted in hills at a distance of three or four feet each way, according- to the variety grown or the richness of the soil in which it is planted. •Sweet Corn should not be planted deeper than one inch and a half, as it is liable to rot in the ground. Hoe often, drawing the earth against the stems, and break off the side shoots. One pound to 300 hills. Ten pounds to an acre. Twelve to twenty pounds if planted in drills.
GOLDEN BANTAM.
This new Sweet Corn is described as the tenderest, sweetest and best Sweet Corn in existence. Its attractive yellow color being an- other good feature added to its many good qualities, makes it an easy seller on the market. The stalks are vigorous and strong, grow about 4 feet high and produce 3 to 4 fine eight-rowed ears 6 to 8 inches long. On account of its firm texture it can be planted early.

MUSHROOM SPAWN
CULTURE. Mushrooms can be grown any place where the proper temperature, which is from 50 to 63 degrees Fahrenheit, can be maintained, and is moist enough, without being very damp or dripping with water. If the temperature is below 50 or above 63 degrees, it is not safe to try to raise them. Cellars, caves, abandoned mines, and even old sheds may be used. In growing mushrooms, the beds should be made of stable manure, which has been fermented. Ob- tain fresh horse manure with some of the litter which has been well trampled down, and pile in heaps about 3 feet deep when well pressed down with the fork, and wet it thoroughly. In 5 or 6 days it should be turned over, mixing the cold and hot manure. In another week a second turning will be necessary, and, if dry, water again. If well pressed down and merely moist, there will be no danger of sour fermentation. The compost will be ready to use in 2 or 3 weeks, according to weather. When water cannot be squeezed out from the damp manure, it is in the right condition to be mixed with one-fourth of good loam. Make your beds about 4 feet wide, 18 to 20 inches deep and of any length desired. Press down the manure with a fork and let the beds stand for about a week before spawning, as they are too hot. Cut a brick into 12 pieces, insert them from 1 to 2 inches deep and 8 to 10 inches apart each way. Do not sprinkle un- less very dry, as too much water will retard germination. In two weeks examine the beds and, if the spawn is running (which can be known by white thread-like fibres seen in the manure) it is ready to be cased. Casing consists in applying a layer of pure white sand or sandy loam, from 1 to 1% inches deep, on the surface of the bed. This loam should be carefully screened. Mushrooms should appear in 5 to 10 weeks after spawn- ing and a good bed will bear from 3 to 4 months. In picking mushrooms twist them from the soil and fill the holes left with fresh loam. Sprinkle with luke warm water, when real dry, and after mushrooms have been gathered. The main causes of failure are: (1) spawning at a too high temperature; (2) the use of too much water; (3) unfavorable temper- ature during the growing season.

ROCKY FORD RUST RESISTING
CANTALOUPE.
This new strain of Cantaloupe (Im- proved Pollock's Strain) is the product of several years’ careful selection from the strongest and most vigorously growing plants. It is not quite as early as Barteldes’ Select Rocky Ford, but will yield more.
In comparing the vines and fruits pf the common strain with this new strain we found that the melons, hidden un- der a healthy growth of vines, were larger, more solidly netted with thick, firm flesh, and small seed cavity com- pletely filled with seeds. On the rusted hills, where leaves were very few, the small melons were prematurely ma- tured, the flesh watery and thin and seed cavity open.

ONION
We make a specialty of onion seed, and handle it extensively We grow a large portion of our seeds ourselves and have them grown by experienced growers under our supervision. Our seed is grown from choice selected bulbs and can be re- lied upon. We make special prices to gardeners and others using large quantities of seed.
5 lb. lots Onion See«l, not prepaid, 15c less per pound.
10 lb. lot s Onion Seed, not prepaid, 20c lews per pound.
CULTURE. Onions thrive best in a rather deep, rich, loamy soil, and unlike most vegetables, succeed well when cul- tivated on the same ground for successive years. The ground should be deeply trenched and manured the previous autumn and laid up in ridges during the winter to soften. As early in the spring as the ground is in working order commence operations by leveling the ground with a rake, and tread it firmly; sow thinly in rows 14 to 15 inches apart 4 pounds to the acre, and a quarter of an inch deep; cover with fine soil and press down with the back of a spade or light roller When the young plants are strong enough, thin gradually, so that they stand 3 or 4 inches apart. Keep the surface of the ground open and free from weeds by frequent hoeing, taking care not to stir the soil too deeply or collect it about the growing bulb. When ripe, pull and dry thoroughly before storing. As maggots are the worst enemies of an onion patch commercial fertilizers are better to use than manure, which originates maggots. Our Vegetable Grower is just the thing!
See price in back part of this catalog. One ounce of seed to 150 feet of drill; 4 to 5 pounds to an acre.

PARSNIP
CULTURE. They do best in deep, rich, sandy soil, but will make good roots on any soil which is deep and mellow and moderately rich. As the seed is sometimes slow to germinate, it should be sown as early as possible; cover % inch deep, and press the soil lirmly over the seed; give fre- quent cultivation, and thin the plants 6 or 8 to the foot- As they are improved by frost a part of the crop should be left in the ground for spring use.

PEAS
CULTURE. Peas do best in a sandy soil, not too rich, or they will run up to vines. The smooth kinds can be sown as soon as the ground can be worked, but the wrinkled varieties should not be planted till it is warmer or they will rot. Sow in single or double rows from 1V2 to 3 feet apart, dropping a pea every inch, and covering from 2 to 3 inches deep. For a succession, sow every 10 days up to July. Pea seeds are, som years, full of small holes, caused by an insect called Pea Weevil. The holes will not prevent the seeds from growing, as the germ is not destroyed. One Hollow Crowned. pound to 50 feet of drill; 90 to 120 pounds to an acre.

POTATOES
CULTURE. Potatoes can be grown in any soil, provided it is well drained, but, if grown on sandy, rich soil, they will be of better quality than if planted on clay soils. Sod land is most excellent for this crop. The seed should always be under the sod and not on top of it. It is best to put the manure on one year before the potatoes are to be planted, and in no case raw stable manure should be used, as it is liable to give the scab. In cutting potatoes for planting, do not cut the pieces too small and be sure to have 1 to 3 eyes on them, according to the kind. The constant use of very small tubers should be avoided, or they are likely to run out. The sets should be planted from 3 to 4 inches deep, according to the time of planting, in rows 3 feet apart and 16 to 18 inches in the rows. They should be cultivated 2 or 3 times before they are six inches high, to keep down the weeds. It is not a good plan to hill up potatoes and it should not be done unless they are pushing out of the ground. If planted IV2 feet by 3 feet there wil be about 9,700 hills on one acre, and it will take between 600 and 700 pounds, according to the size of the sets, to plant it. At 3 by 3 feet one-half the quantity is needed.

EARLY SIX WEEKS.
The earliest variety for this Western country. It is a good cropper, oblong in shape and has shallow eyes.
RUSSET, OR NETTED BURBANK.
Since Introduced Has Been Named Netted Gem.
A real acquisition against scab. Vines very robust; tubers med- ium long, smooth, with shallow eyes and netted skin, flesh very white and floury; they bake quickly. They are absolutely scab proof -even if planted in in- fected soil. They generally set 8 to 10 large tubers to each plant and require a rich soil to pro- duce their usual heavy tonnage. They mature for main crop and are giant cropper. Grown around Carbondale and much liked. In south Idaho they produce the heaviest crop.
WHITE BURBANK.
Similar to the Russett Except in Color.
DOWNING.
One of the best for main crop; is about 10 days later than Early White Ohio. It is a white potato, kidney shaped, smooth skin, with shallow eyes, and a heavy yielder of medium to large tubers. Vines are spreading and hills require to be planted further apart than other varieties.
RURAL NEW YORKER.
This is a large, white potato, a fine cropper and of the best quality. They grow to a large size, smooth, oblong, in- clining to round and rather flattened, very solid, good keepers, and the vigorous growth of the plant enables them to with- stand disease to a remarkable extent.

ROSE SEEDLING.
This is the potato that is famous about Greeley, and is now known in nearly all potato markets as “Colorado Red,” “Greeley Seedling,” etc. It is our standard for general crop. Our stock is selected for purity.
SWEET POTATOES
CULTURE. Sweet potatoes should be started in a hot-bed. When the ground is warm and danger of frost past, the shoots are lifted carefully and planted in rows 4 feet apart and 2 feet in the row. They need considerable care till well started, but afterwards will grow easily. They should be cultivated quite often, moving the vines to prevent them from rooting at the joints. They must be harvested before frost. One bushel of seed will produce 1,800 to 2,000 sprouts.
To insure prompt filling of orders for Sweet Potatoes, they must be engaged ahead. Standard weight of Sweet Pota- toes, 50 pounds per bushel; 125 pounds net per barrel.
Buyers will please note that owing to the tenderness of Sweet Potatoes, we do not guarantee the safe arrival of Sweet Potato Seed or Plants; however, we use all precaution possible in packing and time of shipping. Sweet Potatoes should not be mailed.

RADISH
CULTURE. Sow as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, and every two weeks throughout the season, for a succession of crops. A warm, sandy loam, made rich and light by some good, strong manure, which is thoroughly rotted, will be most likely to afford them brittle and free from worms. During summer months use summer or winter varieties, as the early kinds get pithy. Winter radishes can be wintered over as easily as any root crop, and furnish an acceptable relish. One ounce to 100 feet of drill; 10 pounds to an acre.

SPINACH
Cl I.Tl RE. It is one of the most easily managed of all vegetables, requiring but little culture. The main crop is sown in September, and it is sometimes covered with straw in exposed places during winter, which prevents it from being: cut with the frost. For summer use it may be sown at intervals of 2 or 3 weeks from March to August. Spinach is best developed, most tender and succulent when grown in rich soil. One ounce to 100 feet of drill; 10 to 12 pounds to an acre. Five lbs. or more of one variety, not prepaid, at 15c lest* per pound.

Are unquestionably very handsome flowers, and there is but one objec- tion to their giving general satisfac- tion, and that is their late flowering habit.

Seed sown in the open ground in the beginning of May will produce blooming plants in August, and they will continue to flower late in the fall.

THE BARTELDES SEED CO., DENVER, COLO
SWEET PEAS
GENERAL CULTURE. Sweet Peas delight in a soil inclined to be clayey and, as the little beauty is a gross feeder, a good supply of well rotted manure should be mixed with the ground. Fall is the best season to prepare the soil. A good many failures have been made by manuring in the spring, for the reason that all pea vines like a moist ground, and the heat originated by the manure, combined with the heat from the sun, is too much for the young vines, which turn yellow and die. The best season to sow the seed is as soon in the spring as the ground can be worked. Late sowing produces rank growth, but few flowers. Dig a trench 1 foot deep by 16 or 18 inches wide and mix in it six inches of top soil with old manure. In this plant your seeds in 2 rows and drop one pea every inch or two; then cover with two inches of soil, gradually filling the trench as they grow. One side has to be a little lower to allow surplus water to drain off. Flowers must be picked off every day if you want them to bloom all through the summer. Bone dust and nitrate of soda will hasten the time of flowering.

HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR GROWING SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS IN POTS.
The best soil for growing plants in pots is made by mixing one part ordinary garden soil, one part of turfy matter, or leafmold, with enough sand to make it so friable that it will fall apart readily after squeezing it in the hand. The turfy matter is obtained by cutting off that portion of soil in which the roots are when a piece of sod is turned over. It gives a light, spongy soil, -rich in vegetable matter.
Every pot more than three inches across should have a layer of coarse gravel, or pieces of broken earthenware, to allow drainage, before filling with soil. Do not repot often when plants are in five or six inch pots; but supply food in the shape of commercial fertilizers.
In repotting any plant, large or small, disturb the roots as little as possible. Slip it out of its old pot, put it into new one and fill in about it with fresh soil. Water well to settle the soil you have added.
If bulbs are started in pots and then plunged into the ground they can be lifted up before frost and carried in the house where they will continue to bloom for some time.
Certain species of bulbous plants will bloom all winter.

SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS
In planting beds always begin by outside row' and leave a space between plants and edge of bed of half the distance plants are to be set apart in the bed. If plants are to be set (i inches apart leave a space 3 inches wide. Square beds will require same number ol' bulbs or plants ns circular beds if its diameter is same length as one side of the square. To find out number of plants needed for an oval bed measure the length and breadth; divide the total by 2, and tliis will give you the diameter of a circular bed. ((> + 10 = l(Jv2 = 8 ft. I<"iud out in tlie following; table the number of plants required for a bed of 8 ft. diameter at <! or 12 inches apart, and that will give you number of plants required for your oval bed (5 by 10 ft.

BARTELDES SELECT ROSES
BEST ADAPTED TO OUR WESTERN COUNTRY.
CULTURE. The Rose, rightly called the Queen of Flowers, being a very heavy feeder, should be planted in soil made as rich as possible, and not too wet. Before planting incorporate in the soil, when digging the hole, a shovelful of well rotted manure and set your plant about one inch deeper than originally planted, spreading the roots and pressing the ground firmly around them. Plant the bedding kinds about 1% feet apart, while the climbers are set from 3 to 4 feet apart. The best time to plant them is in April and May. During the summer the ground must be cultivated to keep it free from weeds and to prevent it from baking. In the fall, after the leaves have fallen off, the plants should be trimmed back to one-half of the season’s growth, tied together and dirt heaped around them. A good dressing of old manure or bone meal will insure a big yield of flowers the next year. To prevent and destroy the rose chafer and rose slug, sprinkle the bushes as soon as leaves are forming and once a week after with a solution of one ounce Paris Green to 100 gallons of water. Mildew can be checked by dusting sulphur on the leaves every 2 or 3 days, and green fly will soon disappear if tobacco dust is scattered on and under the leaves. The plants should be sprinkled thoroughly before applying powdered insecticides.
CARE TO GIVE ON RECEIVING PLANTS: As our plants are big, strong, two-year-old, they should be trimmed back
to one-third of the lengtn of the main branches, removing all the side shoots (they do not bloom), and if they have been on the way 3 or 4 days, put in a bucket of water for a few hours, unless they are shipped in a growing state and dirt around the roots. We do not trim plants much, unless asked to do so, as most people expect large bushes and they look better untrimmed, but if you want your roses to grow, and we are very anxious that they should, you must trim them be- fore or right after planting. Three or four eyes to a branch are sufficient.
We have had many flattering testimonials in regard to size and varieties of Roses we have sent out. and we have se- cured for this season the cream of our growers’ stocks. These Roses are too large to mail satisfactorily. If they must be sent by mail, add 15e eaeh for extra packing and postage.
Hardy Roses for Out Door Planting
These are by far the most satisfactory Roses for our Western country. They are distinguished for their vigorous growth and large, perfect flowers. We recommend them for permanent beds. We furnish two-year-old field-grown plants, which are kept dormant in our storage cellar and should not be taken out until time for planting.
Price for all the two-year-old stock, 35c eaeh; dozen, $3.00, purchaser paying expressage. If they must be sent by m&il, add 15c each for extra packing and postage.

The seeds can be planted in good soil, any time during the winter in the South, or early in the spring in the North, in rows IS inches apart. If the seed is planted in the spring it must first be frozen, which can be done during the winter by placing layers of seed in boxes and covering with sand and exposing them to the cold, freezing weather.

Hullcss Barley. New Market, Swedish Select, Colorado No. 37, 1,000 to 1, Kherson, Red Rust Proof.
BARLEY
Sow 60 to 00 lbs. per acre; on dry' land 40 to 50 lbs.
SCOTCH — Roth 4 and 6-rowed. This is the staple variety for brewers. It is good for feeding, not having as long beard as some other kinds. The objection of beard for feeding can be prevented to a certain extent by cutting when grain is in the dough.
NAKED, BEARDLESS OR WHITE HIILLESS. This is decidedly distinct from the malting variety, having no beard and shelling off its hull same as wheat. It is the best barley for feeding and is rapidly taking the place of spring rye. Grows very rank and vigorously and thrives even at altitudes of 8.000 to 9.000 feet. As there is a species of Naked Barley, which has a beard, be sure to get the light colored Barley if you want the beardless. On account of its rank growth it requires less to sow an acre.
CALIFORNIA, OR FEED BARLEY. This is a very hardy kind, producing very large, coarse, bearded heads and an abundance of fodder. It is not used for brewing but makes the best green feed. It is used extensively in California, and is an excellent grain producer in Colorado. Stockmen are demanding it.
OATS
No crop gives better results by change of seed than oats. If you have been re-seeding the same strain for several years, now is the time to change. Do not compare our select strains, recleaned, with the common oats frequently offered as seed oats
Sow 50 to 65 lbs. per acre; on dry land 30 to 35 lbs.
NEW MARKET. Is one of the most desirable oats to raise. It grows very erect on large, stiff, nutritious stems, pro- ducing long heads filled with large, handsome, soft, bright colored kernels, which do not get hard and tough as most oats do. It is early, maturing a good crop in 116 to 120 days at 6,700 feet altitude, and a good yielder. We recommend it very strongly.
SWEDISH SELECT. A very hardy variety, specially recommended for the North. Owing to its great root development it withstands drouth very well. The grain is short, plump, white and very heavy, averaging 40 lbs. per bushel.
1,000 to 1. This is one of the best oats for dry farming. It is medium early, stands drouth well, and has produced 30 and 40 bushels per acre in dry seasons. The stalks are strong, leafy and grow about ilA feet high. Kernels are white, short, numerous and plump.
PEDIGREED COLORADO No. 37. This oat is noted for its large leaf, straw, heavy weight and good quality kernel.
It grows from 48 to 60 inches high in mountain valleys under irrigation. Is a heavy cropper — 113 bushels, weighing a
little over 45 lbs. per bushel, having been raised from 100 lbs. of seed — and is especially adapted to high altitudes. With average conditions it yields about 75 bushels per acre. It is an open panicle oat, usually with five branch whorls, and the very best milling oat, giving 76 per cent, meat to hull.
Prices, 10-lb. sealed sack, OOc; 25-lb. sealed sack, 90c. Aask for market price on large quantity.
NEW KHERSON. It is one of the earliest oats grown and is sometimes called “90 day oafs," as it has ripened crops in 80 to 90 days. It is the very best variety to grow in the mountains or in short season districts. The plant is vigorous, but
of a dwarf habit, straw being shorter than other varieties; the leaves are broad and expose a large surface. The panicles
are spreading and the berries are light yellow, small but numerous and have a very thin hull. It is a good cropper and generally weighs well per bushel.
RED RUST PROOF. Not extensively grown, though highly recommended by those who have grown it, and is now becoming popular in Kansas. New Mexico and in the southern part of Colorado. It is a sure cropper, a heavy yielder, rust proof, and perfectly hardy. In some localities it is sown in fall similar to winter oats.

SPRING WHEAT
Sow CO to SO lbs. per acre on irrigated land; 40 to 45 lbs. on dry land.
PEDIGREED REGENERATED DEFIANCE WHEAT
The strain of Defiance Wheat, which was so much improved
by Prof. A. E. Blount, of the Colorado Experiment Station, some 20 years ago, has now lost most of its good qualities through lack of seed selection, careless methods of threshing, seeding, irrigation and following grain with grain.
Prof. Blount, during his period of improvements, had increased the size of heads from 3 inches to 5 inches and the number of kernels from 21 to 43 on an average.
In 1903 Mr. A. H. Danielson, Assistant Agriculturist at Colo- rado Agricultural College, having found a stock of pure Defiance wheat left by Prof. Blount, started again the growing of improved Defiance Wheat, and we have secured again a limited amount of genuine Regenerated Defiance Wheat, which we offer to our cus- tomers in sealed bags only. This wheat has been approved by the Secretary of the Colorado Grain and Seed Growers’ Association and given a registration number.
BUY REGENERATED DEFIANCE WHEAT and increase your profit as the yield will not only be larger, but the better grade of grain will command a much higher price.
Prices, 10-lb. sealed sack, 65c; 25-lb. sealed sack, 51.00.
Ask for market price on large quantity.
DEFIANCE. Ordinary stock, good seed and cleaned, but not to be compared with our Blount’s Regenerated Defiance.
BBUE STEM. This variety has no beard and is very pro- ductive. The green stems have a beautiful blue color which dis- appears as the wheat ripens, when the stems and straw assume a golden-yellow hue. It is free from rust and its kernel is hard.
MACARONI WHEAT “Kubanka.” The wheat for dry farming. This wheat leads all others for our Western country as it not only resists extremes of weather, but will mature a good crop where other kinds fail entirely. It grows so rapidly and strong as to get well ahead of the weeds and does well on poor ground. The berry is very hard, glossy and large, and will weigh as much as 63 lbs. per bushel. The head is compactly formed and bearded, the straw is very strong, the grain does not shell or bleach and this wheat is so hardy as to be almost smut and rust proof. Not very desirable for milling, but unequaled for feeding.
Blue Stem, Regenerated Defiance, Macaroni.
Winter Wheat
Sow 30 to 35 lbs. on dry land.
TURKEY RED. This is the best winter variety for this part of the country. It is medium hard, bearded, and producing long heads. In color it ranges from dark to light red. The grain is large and less liable to shell out than most varieties. It stands drouth and open winters very satisfactorily, and is a heavy yielder.
SILVER KING. Liked on account of being beardless. It is medium hard, light red, of good weight, heavy cropper and winters very well. Is growing in favor quite rapidly.
Speltz or Emmer
It makes a good crop with almost any condition of the soil and climate.
Sow 70 to 80 lbs. per acre; on dry land 40 to 45 lbs. It is neither wheat, rye nor barley, and yet it appears to be a combination of these. It is more like wheat than any of the others mentioned. For fat- tening cattle, poultry, horses, sheep, pigs, etc., it is claimed to be ahead of other grains, in fact, all kinds of animals seem to thrive on it. Speltz is claimed to be ahead of corn, superior to oats and more profit- able than wheat. Yields 80 to 100 bushels of grain and as much as 4 tons of good hay per acre. Excellent for pasture and can be fed in the green state. As green grass hay food it often gives 100 leafy stalks from one seed, which shows its heavy stooling properties. The heads are somewhat similar to two-rowed barley, the spikelets being separated from each other in such a manner that the crop is not easily injured by the weather. Will grow well and produce enormous crops on land where wheat will not grow.
Improved Winter Emmer
A NEW GRAIN FOR STOCK FEEDING.
The original Winter Emmer was introduced fromRussia, by the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture. The Im- proved is larger, darker in color, heavier in straw and head, is much more hardy, and has larger stooling power than the original type. i
It is one of the best drouth and cold resisting winter grains. Many of the heads double the spikelets, giving the appearance of composite wheat; can be grown either by irrigation or by dry farming methods.
Sow at the rate of 1 bushel (40 lbs.), per acre, in September or October, that the grain may come up before freezing weather sets in. If you irrigate, do it before sowing or just before winter sets in. One or two harrowings in early spring will help the grain and it will be ready to harvest late in June or early in July. It should be cut before it gets too ripe and dry.
Price, 20c per lb.; 3 lbs. for 50c.
Rye
Sow 60 to 80 pounds per acre; on dry land 30 to 40 pounds.
SPRING RYE. Is a quick growing crop which will give a good early pasture and later on a good cut- ting of hay or a grand crop of grain. Please note that in ordering spring rye we offer what is furnished us as spring rye. but make no guarantee for same. *
FALL OR WINTER. It is a good crop for early fall or spring pasture, as it keeps green a long time in the fall, and starts growing again as soon as the weather gets a little warm. Does well in any kind of soil. There is always a good market for good fall rye for seeding purposes.

prices.
AUSTRALIAN WHITE FLINT (90 Days).
The earliest and surest variety we have for Colorado and the arid lands of the West. It will actually endure more drouth and cold than any other variety known. Grows to a height of I to 6 feet, ears varying from 8 to 12 inches long, usually 8 or 10 rowed, one and two ears to a stalk.
PRIDE OF THE NORTH
(90 Days).
Planted as late as July 4, it has fully matured by October 1. The ears have from 14 to 1G rows, 8 to 10 inches in length, slightly tapering. The kernels are closely set together on the cob, of a light orange color. The stalks usually grow 6 to 8 feet in height, producing one or two good ears.
SWADLEY (90 Days).
It is nearly as hardy as White Australian, and fully as early, and yields more matured corn. We are firmly convinced that it is the. corn for uplands and worn out soils, where it produces 35 to 50 bushels of ears per acre. It stands drouth nearly as well as White Australian. It is much softer kernel, being a pale yellow dent. The ears will average S inches long, 12 to 16 rowed. One-third of the crop will yield two ears on a stalk, maturing in 90 to 100 days. Six pounds of seed will plant an acre, 3 feet, 8-inch check- rows. This is the corn for our short season districts. Give it a trial, you will be pleased.
COLORADO YELLOW DENT (90 Days).
An early Dent variety, ripening with the Flint varieti.es, and can be grown in almost any locality. Stalks large with broad leaves, ears 8 to 10 inches, 16 rowed, griin yellow.
IMPROVED LEAMING (90 Days).
This is one of the earliest large yellow Dent corns in cultivation, ripening in 90 to 100 days from planting. It is extra early, and not a hard, flinty corn. The ears are large and handsome, with deep, large grains; orange color and red cob.
CALICO (90 Days).
The earliest field corn grown. Growth rather short, but stalks are very leafy. The ear is small and long and grains are peculiar, some being red, blue and white on the same cob. Stands drouth very well.
SQUAW (90 Days).
Extremely early and of very dwarf habit; stands drouth as good as White Australian; average length of ears "V> seed of dark purple color and sugary; makes good roasting ears.
inches;
CHAMPION WHITE PEARL (100 Days).
The stock is short and thick. The ear grows low on the stalk, from 10 to 12 inches in length, almost parallel through- out, of medium size, averaging 16 rows of grains. The grains are pure white, very deep, compact and heavy The cob is small. It makes a superior quality of corn meal.
IOWA SILVER MINE (95 Days).
The stalk grows to a height of 7 or 8 feet, and set the ears about 3% to 4 feet from the ground? The ears measure from 10 to 12 inches in length and often weigh 1% pounds. They are very uniform in size and shape, with 16 to 20 straight rows of deep, pure white kernels on a small white cob.
IOWA GOLD MINE (95 Days).
Similar to above, except in color, which is a bright golden yellow.
HICKORY KING (110 Days).
This new white corn is entirely distinct from all other varieties, having the largest grain with the smallest cob. It yields greater, and is unquestionably the most productive white field corn. Stalks bear two good ears each, and occasion- ally three. It never has barren stalks, no matter how thin the soil, and both ends of the ear are filled out full.
GOLDEN BEAUTY (110 Days).
The ears are of perfect shape, with from 10 to 14 straight rows of bright golden yellow grains, remarkable in size, and filled out completely to the extreme end of the cob. The richness of color and fine quality of grain make it vastly superior for grinding into meal.
BRAZILIAN STOOLING FLOUR.
This corn stools like wheat, each kernel producing from five to eight stalks, each stalk bearing two or three ears, five to seven inches in circumference, nine to twelve inches in length, color bautiful white. It is the best variety, for ensilage. It yields four times more fodder to the acre than common corn, and more bushels in shelled corn. It contains a much larger quantity of starch than any other corn and, ground and bolted by the same process as wheat, gives a finer flour for bread, biscuits, etc., than that made of wheat flour; also used largely for roasting ears. Four lbs. will plant one acre.

Grass Seed Mixtures
FOR MEADOWS AND PASTURES.
It is a well ascertained fact that a thicker and more prolonged growth is produced by a mixture of many sorts of grasses that are especially suitable. Some sorts do best on high ground, and in dry weather; others prefer plenty of moist- ure. Some mature so early, and others so late, that from the beginning of spring until winter sets in there is no time when one species or another is not at its best.
In the matter of preparing the soil for pastures, it is necessary to put the ground in the best condition possible to get the best results. The soil should be perfectly even after sowing the seed. You will find that cross harrowing will be to your advantage, as it has a tendency to scatter the seed more evenly. The following mixtures will be found desir- able to use for permanent pastures, as they are properly proportioned for their different uses.
For Wet Lands use llartcldes’ Pasture Mixture No. 1. 1 lb. to 10 lbs. at 25c per lb.; 25 lbs. at 20c per lb.
For Light Sandy Soil use Barteldes’ Pasture Mixture No. 2. 1 lb. to 10 lbs., 25c per lb.; 25 lbs. at 21c per lb.
For Irrigated Lands use Barteldes’ Pasture Mixture No. 3. 1 lb. to 10 lbs. at 25c per lb.; 25 lbs. at 20c per lb.
Sow liberally of either of above to get best results using 30 to 40 pounds per acre. Ask for prices on large quantities.

Alfalfa.
Particular attention is given to our Grass Seed Department. These seeds are selected with special reference, to quality. Every exertion made to fur- nish Grass and Field seeds, fresh, pure, and free from noxious and foreign seeds. Our Red Clover, English Blue Grass, Timothy, Alfalfa, etc., are all recleaned by best machinery, to make them choice.
We cannot print prices of large quantities, as they are subject to varia- tions, but purchasers may depend on getting them at prices ruling that date.
Market prices of the day or special prices on large lots cheerfully given on application. Express or freight charges always to be paid by the purchaser, except if sufficient money is sent to prepay them. Two bushel seamless bags, with seed, 25c each.
ALFALFA CLOVER, OR LUCERNE.
Medieago Sativn.
The most valuable forage plant, is particularly adapted for our Western climate and soil. It requires a deep, mellow soil; newly broken sod does not do so well. It thrives best in a sandy loam, the richer the better, while it has not proved a success on heavy, compact, clay soil. In the dryest and most sultry weather, when every blade of grass withers. Alfalfa is as fresh and green as in the spring, as its roots go down from 10 to 30 feet to the moisture of the ground. Although a prodigious yielder, it does not exhaust the soil, but rather improves the ground by the decay of its long roots, and con- verts it into rich ground, full of vegetable matter. The seed may be sown early in the spring, as soon as the frost is out of the ground, in order to catch the spring rains, as it needs moisture to germinate. In localities where irrigation is used, it can be sown successfully at any time during the sum- mer months. Most of our successful Alfalfa growers prefer sowing the seed broadcast, while others are more in favor of drilling it in. It is rather diffi- cult to establish the first year, but will, when once started, produce a profit- able crop; under favorable circumstances three and even four crops are cut yearly, aggregating five to seven tons to the acre. Never sow less than 20 pounds of good, clean seed to the acre on irrigated land, as thin sowing pro- duces thick and coarse stalks not relished by stock. On dry land sow from 10 to 12 pounds per acre. If intended to raise Alfalfa for the seed, 12 to 15 pounds is plenty to sow on an acre on irrigated lands, or 3 to 4 pounds on dry lands. Lb., 25c. Ask for latest prices when quantity is wanted.
Write for our booklet on Alfalfa, sent free by mail.
TURKESTAN ALFALFA.
It is claimed to be more hardy, enduring extreme cold and a wonderful drouth resister. % lb., 10c; lb., 25c. For larger quantities ask for price.
RED CLOVER.
Trifolium Pratense.
Regarded the most important of the whole genus for practical agriculture; valuable not only for forage, but also as a fertilizer for the soil. Long, powerful tap-roots, which In decaying add a large amount of humus to the soil. Makes excellent hay, and can be cut twice a year. Sow 12 to 15 lbs. to the acre. Per lb., 30c.
ALSIKE, OR SWEDISH CLOVER.
Trifolium Hybridum.
Comes from the little province of Alsike in Sweden. One of the hardiest varieties known; is perennial and does not winter kill; stands alike drouth or wet. A great favorite with bee-keepers, as it has flowers having a sweet and agreeable odor and affords excellent for- age for bees. Sow 5 to 8 lbs. to the acre. Per lb., 30c.
MAMMOTH SAPLING, OR PEAVINE CLOVER.
Being a rank grower makes it most val- uable for fertilizing purposes. Forage, flower and stem much darker than common Red Clover; ripens later than the latter, about the time Timothy, Red Top and other grasses ripen, making thereby a much better quality of hay, when mixed with them. Sow 12 to 15 lbs. to the acre. Per lb., 30c.
Retl Clover.
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER.
Trifolium Repense.
Excellent for pasture, and when mixed with Kentucky Blue Grass makes the 'finest and most nutritious food for sheep and cows; used universally for lawns in most of the United States. Sow for pastures 5 to 8 lbs. to the acre.
Fancy. % lb. pkg., 15c; 1 lb. pkg., 50c.
WHITE BOKHARA, OR SWEET CLOVER.
Melilotus Alba.
Tall shrub plant. Grows from 4 to 6 feet high, with branches whose extremities bear abundant small white, extremely fragrant flowers. Splendid for bees. Sown in the spring in drills, 16 inches apart. Ten lbs. will sow one acre. Per lb., 25c.
JAPAN CLOVER. Lespedeza striata.
Low perennial, spreading habit. Stands excessive drouth well; flourishes on poorest soil in the southern states. Sow 15 lbs. per acre. Per lb., 35c.
BUR CLOVER. Medieago maculata.
Is mainly used in southern states and Cali- fornia. It fills in the season when other for- age plants have become dried up by the sum- mer heat. It does very well on alkali soils. Stock of all kinds feed on the burs, which contain a large proportion of nutritious mat- ter. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per acre from August till November. Per lb., 25c.
CRIMSON CLOVER. Trifolium Incarnatum.
An annual variety in common use in Italy and south France for feeding green. Also grown largely in this country in Virginia, and we find it does well in our Western states. It is meeting with favor in Texas and adjoining states. Two to four weeks earlier than the Red Clover, and for that reason being more desirable. Immense yielder of fodder. Commences to grow at once after cutting, and continues to do so until frost. Height, 1 foot; roots nearly black; blossoms long and of deep car- mine color. Makes good hay. Sow in the fall in southern country. Sow 15 lbs. to the acre. Per lb., 25c.
ESPARSETTE, OR GERMAN CLOVER. Onobrychis sativa.
A leguminous plant with many stems, 2 to 3 feet long, leaves in pairs of oblong leaflets hairy on under side; stalks with spikes of crimson or variegated flowers, followed by hard, flat pods, toothed and prickly. Perennial, roots hard and woody; flowers in July. Same family as Alfalfa. Adapted to light, chalky, sandy, gravelly soils and barren regions, deficient in rainfall and without irrigation privileges; will last from 8 to 10 years, according to soil. Sow seed 2 inches deep, and from 30 to 40 lbs. per acre. Price, per lb., 20c.
ORCHARD GRASS — Dactylis glomerata.
No farmer should be without a small field of Orchard Grass as in many respects it is superior to all other grasses. It stands the drouth, grows well in the shade, does well in wet or poor ground and is splendid to prevent worn out fields from washing. This grass furnishes excellent pasturage three weeks before any other, and after grazing ten days’ rest is sufficient for another growth. Cows fed on this will produce more and richer milk than on blue grass. It makes a very heavy sod, and when well set remains for many years. It is especially adapted for winter grazing, as it remains green all season. It is well suited to sow mixed with alfalfa, on average of 5 lbs. Orchard to 15 lbs. Alfalfa seed. Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. Lb., 30c.

Red Top.
RED TOP — Agrostis vulgaris.
A valuable grass for moist soil's. It is a good permanent grass, stand- ing our climate as well as any other, and consequently well adapted to our pastures, in which it should be fed close for if allowed to grow up to seed, the cattle refuse it. On moist, rich soil it will grow 2 feet, and on poor gravelly soil about half that height. It has been grown successfully even on ‘‘alkali” bottom lands, where other grasses failed. We have discon- tinued handling the chaffy grade of Red Top, and now offer only the clean seed. Sow 15 to 20 pounds clean seed to the acre. Lb., 30c.
TIMOTHY — Phleum pratense.
As a crop for hay, Timothy is probably unsurpassed by any other grass. It is greatly relished by all kinds of stock, especially horses; yields more nutritive matter than most other-grasses or forage plants. Being an early grass, it is well adapted to spring and summer grazing, and if the fall sea- son is favorable it will grow sufficiently to furnish good fall grazing. Sow 10 to 12 pounds to the acre. Lb., 20c.
TALL MEADOW OAT, OR EVERGREEN GRASS— Avena elatior.
The roots of this grass descend deeply into the sub-soil enabling it to withstand a protracted drouth, and it is green all seasons of the year. Its early growth in spring makes it equal to rye for pasture. It grows quickly after mowing, giving a denser and more succulent aftermath than any of the present popular tame grasses. Sow broadcast 25 to 30 pounds of seed to the acre. Lb., 25c.
JOHNSON GRASS, OR GUINEA GRASS— Sorghum halapense.
We find this grass winter-kills in the northern states. In the extreme southern part of this state and the southern states it does well. A peren- nial, a rapid grower, long cane-like roots; the leaf, stalk and panicle of this grass resembling those of Sorghums. It grows on any land where corn will grow, and like corn, will bear heavy manuring, yielding richly in rich ground. In fact, the richer the land the better the crop. Twenty-five to thirty pounds will sow an acre. Lb., 25c.
CREEPING BENT GRASS— Agrostis stolonifera.
Especially recommended for lawns in country homes where depending on irrigation. It flourishes where but little moisture. Also good on terraces and sloping ground. Lb., 30c.
PERENNIAL ENGLISH RYE GRASS — Lolium perenne.
While this has long been highly esteemed in Europe and Australia, it has but recently been recognized by our Western ranchers. It is worthy of all the praise given. As a pasture grass it grows quick and withstands drouth reasonably well. For pasture sow in spring 25 to 30 pounds to the acre; for lawns 60 to 70 pounds per acre. 1 lb., 15c; 7 lbs. for $1.00.
MEADOW FESCUE, OR ENGLISH BLUE GRASS — Festuca Pratensis.
Especially adapted for permanent pasture. Grows 2 to 3 feet high, but
Per. Rye Grass.
English Blue Grass
not in tufts like Orchard Grass. Ear- liest and most nutritious of grasses. Makes good hay and cattle thrive on it, whether in dry or green state. Succeeds even in poor soil, and as the roots penetrate deep, from 12 to 15 inches, it takes extreme dry weather to affect it. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per acre. Per lb.. 25c.
BERMUDA GRASS— Cynodon- dactylon.
This plant has long been natural- ized in the Southern states. While it is tender to freezing, it resists dry, hot weather and consequently is a valuable grass to grow over and bind the most arid and loose lands, and grows luxuriantly in every kind of soil; valuable for pastures, as well as for hay crop; time of sowing, April to June. Used for lawns in the South, as it runs over the ground, forming a dense turf. Sow 3 to 5 pounds per acre. *4 lb., 35c; lb., $1.25.
BROMUS INERMIS, OR HUNGARIAN BROME GRASS.
This pre-eminent drouth-resisting grass stands at the head of all, and is destined to lead as the most satisfactory and valuable forage grass in all localities where arid soils demand a plant with ability to withstand drouth. Stands intense cold equally well. May be sown in autumn with winter wheat, or in early spring. In southern states sow in February or March, preparing lands as for other grasses. Blooms in north in June, and earlier in southern states. For hog pastures a mixture of Bromus Inermis and Alfalfa, where the latter succeeds well, is recommended. For large pastures for cattle a mixture of the following per acre is recommended; Bromus Inermis 10 lbs., Orchard Grass 6 lbs., Meadow Fescue 8 lbs., Red Clover 1 or 2 lbs. Its nature is to stool out and thus does not show its best until the second season. It seldom pro- duces seed the first year. Aside from Alfalfa, no grass has fulfilled the promises to our Western farmers better than the Bromus Inermis. It meets drouth as well as wet and cold, and for Colo- rado we know of no grass to equal it. Many of our large ranchers are planting it extensively. Som 20 to 35 lbs. per acre. Lb., 20c.
For particulars ask for special circular.
When sowing Bronic Grass in quantity, get the Thompson Wheelbarrow Seeder. See Imple- ment Department.
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS— Poa pratensis.
The Great American Grass. The Standard for Lawns. Our “Columbine” Grade is the Purest Obtainable. The old standard grass for pasture as well as lawns. Every farmer knows it and its good qualities. Sow about 25 to 30 pounds to the acre for meadows, for lawns 120 to 150 pounds per acre.
Our Columbine Grade of Blue Grass is put up in sealed packages. Ask for Columbine. 1-lb. pkg., 25c; 3-lb. pkg., 65c; 6-lb. sack, $1.25; 10-lb. sack, $2.00.
CANADIAN BLUE GRASS— Poa compressa.
Produces a fine foliage of dark green color, and is more hardy than Kentucky Blue Grass. It is especially adapted to light, poor, dry soils and makes very satisfactory lawns. It has some- what a creeping habit and does not need to be clipped as often as Kentucky Blue Grass. 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., $1.00; 10 lbs., $2.00.

SEW SIBERIAN OR RUSSIAN MILLET.
It is claimed to be the most wonderfully productive and satis- factory forage plant, possessing in a superior degree all the essen- tial merits of any of the older sorts — exceeding them by far. The claims made are that it is from two to three weeks earlier than the German Millet, is a much heavier cropper, that the hay is much finer, stalks more elastic and growing much taller, that it is rust proof, and chinch bugs do not relish it, and being of stool- ing habit, requires much less seed per acre. You should try it. Lb., 10c; 10 lbs., 50c.
JAPANESE MILLET, or “Billion Dollar Grass.”
Prof. Brooks of the Massachusetts Experiment Station, is quoted, as saying: “At our station it produced 60 bushels of seed.
11,297 pounds of straw, 36,000 pounds of green fodder, 21,000 pounds of hay per acre, being superior to good corn fodder in feeding for milk, and in combination with the soja bean makes a very superior ensilage. Recommended highly for feeding dairy cattle, young stock and sheep, being very inch in nutritious ele- ments. If sown latter part of April will be ready to cut for hay by middle of July. Attains a height of from 5 to TVz feet, accord- ing to season.” We cannot recommend it in the far North. Lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.00.
MANITOBA, OR HOG MILLET.
The seed is very rich and thus especially valuable as a hog food. A very much prized peculiarity of this millet is that the seed ripens while the stem is yet green, thus if cut promptly can be threshed for the seed, while the hay after being threshed will make excellent fodder. Lb., 10c; 10 lbs., 50c.

HOW TO MAKE A LAWN
As soon as the grass has become well established a dressing of good lawn Fertilizer is necessary to keep up that beautiful fresh appearance.
The ground should be dug deeply and thoroughly, then a good compost of decomposed and finely pulverized manure or rich loam spread over the ground. It would be well also to give a sprinkling of bone dust. Use a slanted tooth har- row and a light or medium roller until the soil is smooth, even and firm. Then sow the seed and harrow again and smooth off with a common garden rake. When the grass has grown 2 or 3 inches in height use the lawn mower, gauged to cut full 1 inch above the ground; repeat the same as often as it grows to that height. The weeds and foul grass can be kept down and destroyed by the repeated mowing. If this is neglected they will spread and take pos- session of the soil, but when constantly clipped, the leaves and seed stalks are destroyed and the foul vegetation disap- pears.
As a guide for the proper quantity to order, we may state that one pound of Fancy Mixed Lawn Grass Seed, or “Columbine Grade” Kentucky Blue Grass, is sufficient to thoroughly sow an area of 10 feet by 20 feet — 200 square feet. It should be borne in mind that in order to produce the best results grass seed for lawns should be sown at least thrice as thickly as sown for hay.

Amber Cane.
PENCI LAR I A. Pearl Millet, or Cat Tail Millet.
Immensely Productive. 23 tons per acre.
A native of Central America. It is an an- nual plant, having- long, broad foliage, and, if allowed to develop fully, will attain a height of from 10 to 12 feet, and bear numerous "jjj heads from IS to 20 inches in length and 1 inch in diameter, completely covered with thousands of seeds, much relished by poultry.
It is of rapid growth, throwing out from one plant numerous suckers, and if cut as soon as it reaches the height of 2 to 3 feet, it can be mowed from 4 to 6 times, according to lati- tude, and yields several tons of hay per acre.
If allowed to grow 6 or 7 feet high, and cut when the flower heads begin to develop, it will yield the heaviest fodder crop per acre of any plant now in cultivation. For feeding it is equal to any fodder, and is relished either green or dry by all kinds of stock.
Lb., 15c; 4 lbs., 50c.
M I LLETS — Continued.
GERMAN MILLET.
Few other grasses or forage plants have been able to produce the enormous yield of this plant. It has produced 4 to 5 tons of hay to the acre, and from 70 to SO bushels of seed. If sown in the spring on newly broken prairie it leaves the ground in the finest condition for wheat after harvesting it. Lb., 10c; 10 lbs., 50c.
COLORADO GOLDEN MILLET.
This is a cross between German and Common Millet with all the good qualities of both parents. It yields a great amount of seed and the hay is fine, juicy, with luxuriant leaves. It is hardier than other millets, being perfectly acclimated to our Western country. Lb., 10c; 10 lbs., 50c.
COMMON MILLET.
It is an annual grass, with tender, juicy and luxuriant leaves, much relished by all kinds of stock; makes good hay. 1 lb., 10c; 10 lbs., 50
SORGHUM OR EARLY AMBER CANE
Our seed is for Fodder only; not for Syrup making.
The great fodder erop for dairymen. Dairy farmers say that the Early Amber Cane is the most valuable fodder plant in existence for their use. It is profitably grown anywhere from Manitoba to Mexico, on any good corn ground. It is but little affected by drouth. It is of the very best quality, being sweet, tender and nutritious, and greedily eaten by caltle, horses and hogs. Dairymen find that the cows will give more and richer milk from its use, and it is claimed that as high as 20 tons of green fodder have been grown per acre. It can be cut several times during the season if not allowed to get too high, and makes good sweet hay. Is a profitable crop also to grow for the seed, which is excellent for feeding poultry, and is very frequently ground and substituted for buckwheat flour. If sown for seed 5 to 6 pounds will sow one acre. Lb., 10c; 5 lbs., 25c.
CANE SEED FOR FODDER.
When sown for fodder it should be sown very thickly; 60 lbs. per acre is none too much. Cut when the stalk is well filled with sweet sap — don't allow to m ■. ture. It will cure nicely and make excellent stock food. Ask for price, stating quantity wanted.
TEXAS SEEDED RIBBON CANE, OR GOOSENECK SORGHUM.
It is the tallest and largest of the sorghum family, reaching a height of 12 feet with stems over one inch in diameter at the base. It matures from ICO to 120 days. The stalks when cut with the leaves on them make the finest silo for cattle and Uorses. Lb.. 15c; 4 lbs., 50c.
ORANGE CANE. This variety is well adapted for the Southwest and is about 10 days later than Early Amber. Lb., 10c; 5 lbs., 25c.
RED TOP CANE. Is grown very extensively for fodder. It doc s not grow as tall as the other varieties; but makes a large amount of fodder. Lb., 10c; 5 lbs., 25c.
TEOSINTE.
Recommended as the most prolific forage plant yet introduced. The stalk, containing much saccharine matter, is very nutritious. It can be cut several times during the season, yielding enormously. One seed will some- times produce 20 to 60 stalks or shoots, and the warmer the climate the better it yields. Should not be planted until the soil is per- fectly warm in the spring. Requires about 4 pounds seed per acre. Plant in drills 3 feet apart, and 2 or 3 seeds every 12 inches in drill. % lb., 30c; lb., $1.00.
LUPINS.
When young the plants are good for sheep. Yellow Lupins remain green longer than the white. One of the best plants for soiling. May be sown from April to July, and suc- ceeds well in the poorest of soil. Lb., 10c.
Penoilarin,
SILVER HULLED BUCKWHEAT.
An improved sort, much excelling the old common variety, which it has about superseded with us. It blooms longer, matures sooner and yields double the amount per acre. Husk thin- ner, corners less prominent, and seeds of a beautiful light gray color. Flour made from this variety is pronounced better and more nutritious than others. Thirty to fifty pounds to an acre. Lb., 10c; 10 lbs., 60c.
JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT.
A new variety that has been raised here with good results. Early and very productive, with kernels twice the size of any other buckwheat, of a rich, dark brown color and makes a super- ior flour. As it possesses a branching habit only half as much seed is required to plant an acre. Straw is very stiff and stands up well. Lb., 10c: 10 lbs., 60c.
DWARF ESSEX R APE— Brassica Napius.
Main stand-by of the English farmers in raising choice mutton. Perfectly hardy and pos- sesses remarkable fattening properties. Eeasily grown. One acre will pasture 36 head two months, and lambs will make a gain of from S to 12 pounds per month. Pigs and cattle are also extremely fond of it. A very rank grower and bears heavy manuring and high cultiva- tion. Sow at intervals of several weeks and secure a supply of good feed. Sown in June Rape should be fed in August, though if a first crop be cut about 4 jnc-hes from the ground an after growth would be useful later. For breeding flocks a piece should be sown first week in July or later. Does well sown with oats. If soil is rich and clean sow broadcast, otherwise in drills and cultivate same as corn. Poultrymen will do well to grow a small patch to feed green to growing chicks. Can be sown on wheat stubble, furnishing an excellent pasture late in the fall. Does well on alkali ground. Broadcasted it takes 8 to 10 pounds to the acre; in drills, 4 to 5 pounds to the acre. Per lb., 15c; 10 lbs. for $1.00.

N on-Saccharines
All of the follownig species of corn bear dry weather well. When common corn will wholly fail for want of rain at a certain stage, these plants simply stop and wait for rain, and then go on and make their full crop. In weight of grain they will make more per acre than the same la-nd will make of corn. In the way of dry forage they make enormous returns, at a cost less than the cost of gathering that of corn. They will grow on any land where corn will, even on land too poor for corn. As soon as the seed begins to glaze, commence to cut and shock. Make the shocks 16 rows wide and the same distance in length. Balance well, for the seed is so heavy that they will go down easily. After well cured stack or house the fodder as you would ordinary corn fodder, or let it stand in the field until wanted for use. Prepare a rack in the feed lot and feed as hay. It is not necessary to thresh the grain. If it is desirable to separate the feed from the fodder, run the stalks through a threshing machine after removing all but one row of concave teeth. The grain will come out as clean as wheat and the fodder threshed.
FETE RITA,
A new non-saccharine from Sudan. It is an early maturing drought resisting sorghum of considerable value both for fodder and grain. It has rather slender stems varying in height from 4 to 7 feet with locality and season. The stems are juicy and slightly sweet before ripening. Suckers are produced freely when moisture is sufficient. Peterita resembles milo in habit except that the heads are uniformly erect; the seed is larger, softer and chalk white or slightly bluish in color. It dif- fers from Jerusalem corn in having erect heads, black glumes and plumper seed. It is also a little earlier than dwarf milo and yields about the same. It has pro- duced good grain yield where Milo and Kaffir gave low yield on account of extreme drought. It should be sowed in hills 40 to 44 inches apart, and not put in the ground before the ground is warm; about 2 weeks after Indian Corn, as it is still more liable to rot in cold ground. 3 to 5 lbs. will sow 1 acre. 15c lb.; 5 lbs. for 50c.
SHALLU.
A non-saccharine sorghum from India, known also under the names of California Rice Corn, California Wheat and Egyptian Rice. It is more valuable than Kaffir Corn for grain, as it yields considerably more seed and is quite a drouth resister. The heads grow similar to Broom Corn, forming large heads of round, plump white seeds. Can be popped the same as popcorn and when ground makes an excellent flour for pancakes. It is more of a grain crop than a forage crop. Sow same as Kaffir Corn. Lb., 10c; 5 lbs., 40c.
RED KAFFIR CORN.
This grows taller than the white; the stalks are slenderer, but more juicy and very leafy. The heads are long, slender compact and grow erect; they measure from 1 to 2 feet. The seed is red, smaller than that of the white, and rather hard and brittle. It does well on poor land and matures earlier than the white variety, from 100 to 120 days, and yields much heavier. It is highly recommended by the Kansas Agricultural College at Manhattan. Lb., 10c; 5 lbs. for 25c.
Kaffir Corn.
WHITE KAFFIR CORN.
It grows from 4 to 5 feet high, mak- ing a straight upwa.rd growth. It has a stalky stem, with enormous wide leaves. The stalks keep green and are brittle and juicy, not hardening like other varieties of sorghum, making ex- cellent fodder, eithet green or dried, which is highly relished by cattle and horses. The seed heads form at the top of each stalk, and as soon as these show the grain well the joints next be- low the top send up shoots which yield the second seed heads. For the grain sow in rows 3 feet apart, 3 to 5 pounds of seed to the acre. For fodder sow| one-half to one bushel, either broadcast or in drills. Lb., 10c; 5 lbs. for 25c.
YELLOW MILO MAIZE.
Growth is vigorous, stooling from the ground; it sends out shoots from the joints. Seed heads grow to great size, often weighing % of a pound, some- times a full pound after ripe. On ac count of its branching habit this grain should be planted in rows 4 or 5 feet apart, and 2 to 3 feet in the drill, or 2 plants in a hill, 3 to 5 feet apart. It is one of the surest crops to raise on dry ground, and is mostly grown for its seed, which contains about 80 per cent, of the feeding value of corn. Its stems make better fodder than Jerusalem Corn and Dourha, but not as good as Kaffir Corn. Lb., 10c; 5 lbs. for 25c.
JERUSALEM CORN.
It is pronounced one of the best and surest grain crops for dry countries and seasons, even better than Kaffir Corn, Dourha and Milo Maize. It grows about 3 feet high, makes one large head on main stalk and several smaller heads on side shoots;- have seen as high as 8 heads on one stalk. The grain is pure white and nearly flat. Three pounds will plant one acre. Lb., 10c; 3 lbs., 25c.
BROWN DOURHA.
Similar to the Jerusalem Corn. Grain same size and shape, but of brown color, instead of white. It withstands dry weather better than Kaffir Corn and Milo Maize and is a sure cropper every year. Raised more for the grain than for fodder. Yields immensely. Three to five pounds will plant an acre. Lb., 10c; 3 for 25c.

BROOM CORN
Requires soil similar to corn, same cultivation, but should be planted some later m the season Put ground in prime condition. We think that more of our Western farmers should grow Broom Corn for market. It is profitable. Frequently planted m drills 3 Vz feet apart, leaving plants 6 inches apart; 10 to 20 lbs. to an acre.

THE BARTELDES SEED CO., DENVER, COLO. THE OKLAHOMA BROOM CORN.
Originated in Oklahoma. Most valuable strain grown there and in the Southwest. Quite distinct from all others in earliness, robust habit and extreme productiveness; brush long and well fibered and is a drouth resister. Averages 5 feet in height. Seed may be let to ripen on brush without injury to latter, removing danger of heating from immature seed in bins. Stalks make excellent fodder if cut at once after brush is pulled. Lb., 10c; 10 lbs., 60c.
SANDVETCH, HAIRY OR WINTER VETCH— Vicia villosa.
A forage plant from Europe, highly esteemed there. The Sandvetch prospers in the most barren soils, on those too poor to grow the winter tare. Six tons per acre of green forage have been harvested in one cut in poor silicious soils, with second cut for seed or for plow- ing under. Sow end of August alone or with a cereal, rye preferred, as this Vetch reaches a height of 3% to 5 feet high, and must have a support. Sow 30 to 50 lbs. per acre. If good growth before winter it may be cut, and again by March 15. Eaten by all farm stock.
Lb., 20c; 6 lbs., $1.00.
SPRING VETCH, OR TARES— Vicia sativa.
Similar in growth to Sandvetch, though for spring sowing only. Lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.00.
PEANUTS.
The peanut thrives and produces best on a light, sandy, fertile soil with a good clay subsoil. It possesses a long tap-root, which extends deep into the earth, drawing thence the nutriment which is beyond the reach of many of our cultivated crops.
The soil should be deep and mellow and well broken up, so as to be ready for planting soon after frosts are over — April is a suitable time. They may be planted in the pod, or shelled, 2 in a hill; it is best to drop about 4 in a hill on the level ground, the rows being laid off 314 feet wide, and the hills 2 feet apart; cover them 2 or 3 inches deep. When they come up thin them to 2 in a hill, and if there be any vacancies transplant. It is better to plant them level than in ridges, as they are less liable to suffer from drouth. The plant is an annual, of a trailing habit, with yellow pea-shaped flowers produced in bunches of 5 and 7, close to or even under ground. The flowers must be covered lightly with earth or they will not mature the seeds. They are successfully raised in southern Colorado, where they yield from 50 to 100 bushels per acre.
SPANISH PEANUTS.
The earliest variety grown; pods are small, but remarkably solid and well filled, and the yield per acre very large; can be cultivated with the plow. Because of their early habit and easy cultivation it is the best variety to grow for fattening hogs. It is claimed that one acre of peanuts will produce three times as much pork as one acre of best corn. It requires about 35 lbs. of peanuts in pod to sow one acre. Lb., 20c; 3 lbs., 55c.
WHITE, OR JUMBO PEANUTS.
Raised mostly for roasting; are not quite as hardy as the Spanish, but nuts are larger.
Lb., 20c; 2 lbs., 35c.
Sandvetch With Rye.
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER.
Single heads measure 15 to 22 inches in diameter, and contain an immense amount of seed, which is highly valued by all farmers and poultry breeders who have tried it as an excellent and cheap food for fowls. It is the best egg producing food known for poultry. It can be raised cheaper than corn, and is destined to be an article of great value. Every farmer should plant some of the seed in any waste piece of ground, or alkali ground, any time from early spring up to the middle of July. It is a wonderful improve- ment on the old native Sunflower, and besides the great value of the seed as poultry and stock food, its leaves make capital fodder, while its strong, thick stalks can be profit- ably used as fuel. It produces from 20 to 50 bushels of seed to the acre. Four to five pounds of seed will plant one acre. Selected seed, Y* lb-, 10c; lb., 25c, postpaid; 5 lbs., not prepaid, 50c.
SUNFLOWER SEED FOR FEEDING BIRDS. We have stock suitable for feeding that we sell at reduced price.
FLAX SEED.
Farmers should not lose sight of the fact that flax can be raised where wheat is raised and where tried has brought better results for amount of labor invested than wheat. Twenty to forty pounds will sow an acre. Lb., 10c; 3 lbs., 25c.
CANARY SEED.
As easily grown as wheat. Requires similar culture; 20 to 30 lbs. to an acre. We are in the market for the seed. Lb., 10c.
HEMP SEED.
This is a crop that deserves more attention. The seed can be marketed with us. The fibre is in demand in east- ern markets. Lb., 10c; 6 lbs., 50c.
AUSTRALIAN SALT BUSH
The Forage Plant for Arid and Alkali Soils.
This new plant comes to us from California, where it has been tested and experimented with to a large extent. Lands that hitherto have laid barren and worthless have been rendered productive and valuable. It can scarcely be conceived that alkali soils, coated with their salts, as covered by snow, can be changed in their appearance or constituents, yet such is being accomplished most satisfactorily and with little expense by the use of the Salt Bush.
Directions — Sow 1 pound of seed to an acre in the spring before a rain if possible, or irrigate well, on well pulverized soil and cover it lightly (about one-eighth of an inch) with a light harrow or brush, or the plants may be grown in boxes or garden bed, cover- ing the seeds lightly, and planting the seedlings where desired, when from 2 to 3 inches high, 6 or 7 feet apart. If the weather is dry when transplanting, supply a little water to each plant. Oz., 15c; % lb., 50c; lb., $1.00.
WILD RICE — Ziziania Aquatica.
For Planting in Ponds.
An annual which sows itself in the fall, about the middle of September, lies dormant all winter, and in the spring commences to sprout as soon as the water gets warm, reach- ing the surface about the first of June. It grows very rapidly in 1 to 4 feet of water, reaches a height of 7 to 10 feet and ripens late in August or early in September. It should be planted early in the fall, before the seed gets dry, as it is hard to germinate, and before the ice forms, broadcast from a boat, in 1 to 3 feet of water having a mud bottom. It has been successfully planted through the ice in winter and in the spring, but it succeeds best when planted in the fall. If the water is over 4 feet deep, or if it is stagnant, it does not do as well as when the water is moving gently. As an attraction for wild fowl it cannot be equaled, and it is largely used on private shooting grounds to attract water fowls. In large ponds and lakes it purifies the water, affords a refuge for the small fry from the larger fish, as well as furnishing the small fry with plenty of food from the animalculae upon the stalks. It also does well along the shores of marshes, and makes a good hay. In the South two crops can be cut, and all cattle are very fond of it. If the seed has to be kept over it must be put under a few inches of water which, if not frozen, will have to be changed once in a while. Lb., 25c.

FIELD PEAS
Colorado Stock Pea.
San Luis Valley Is now feeding, wintering and fattening sheep and stock In greater number and at less cost than anywhere in the entire United States, simply with FIELD PEAS. San Luis Valley Peas ha've developed a wonderful and great industry.
SAN LUIS VALLEY STOCK PEAS.
They ean lie grown and do well at an altitude of 9,000 feet.
San Luis Valley or Colorado Stock Pea is a hybrid, evidently the Golden Vine intermingled with the Native or Mexican Peas until now the seed has the appearance of a mixed sort, and is well acclimated to our climate, being very hardy, withstanding early frosts and growing until late fall, reaching a length of 4 to 6 feet. The vine continues to blossom as it grows, ripening peas on the lower branches and setting more pods above. The seed averages smaller than garden peas.
Time of Sowing. Being very hardy, the fear of rotting in the ground is not considered. The majority sow in April, although a pea-hay crop can be obtained if sown as late as July. Early sowing is best, giving full season for matured crop.
Quantity to Sow. When early sowing is made, 40 to 50 lbs. of seed per acre makes a crop that covers the ground and produces good tonnage. If late sowing is made, 60 to SO pounds per acre is advisable, as the crop does not get to matured growth. Thick sowing will aid in choking out weeds.
Harvesting. If wanted as pea-hay the growth should be at the period when the supply of nutriment in milk is in the vine just forming the pod, cut and cured like ordinary hay. This makes finest feed for dairy cattle; in fact, lambs, sheep, hogs and cattle relish this hay. If the peas are desired as dry grain allow crop to mature and handle in shocks, threshing by machine after thoroughly dry. The dry seed can be ground into a meal or fed whole.
The Colorado Stock Pea does not exhaust the soil rapidly like some crops; quite the opposite, the nitrogen taken from the air is stored in the ground through the roots. The growing crop can be plowed under when but partly matured — just in the milk — and makes an excellent fertilizer. Orchardists are learning this and consider the crop valuable for this purpose alone.
We advise all stock growers to plant liberally of Field Peas. We have supplied ourselves with seed of the San Luis Valley, recleaned stock, the Wis- consin grown Green Canada Peas, and the northern grown Golden Vine.
Prices for each above fluctuate. Lb., 10c; 3 lbs. for 25c; 10 lbs., 60c. Write us when you are ready to buy in large quantity.
WHIP-POOR-WILL COW PEAS
This is not exactly a pea, but more properly belongs to the bean family. It is becoming known in the North, also, as a highly valuable fodder and fer- tilizing crop. It requires a full season to mature. If desired the pods may be harvested for the giain and the plants plowed under to fertilize the soil. The seed or grain is ground and used for cattle feed; the stalk and leaves also make excellent fodder, fed green. Poor, sandy soil may be greatly improved by plowing under a crop of Cow Peas, and thus made into a fertile loam. Plant in a thoroughly pulverized soil. If wanted to plow under for manure, sow with a grain drill in drills a foot apart. If grown for fodder or the seed, plant 3 y2 feet apart and cultivate thoroughly. The seed must not be sown until the soil has become thoroughly warm, ©ow from 60 to 90 lbs. per acre. Lb., 10c; 10 ibs., 80c.
Field Beans
WHITE NAVY. The standard white bean, of medium size. Plant in drills, so as to cultivate with a horse; 25 to 30 lbs. per acre. Lb., 10c. See market price list for quantity.
MEXICAN BEANS. This is the popular bean with the Mexicans and now is grown extensively throughout Colo- rado, New Mexico and Arizona. The yield is tremendous. Lb., 10c. See market price list for quantity.
EARLY SOJA BEANS — Coffee Berry, also called Soy Beans. Soja Beans are drouth resistant much more so than cow peas, but will not do as well as them on poor ground. The berries ripen in about 3 or 4 months from the time of planting and produce a crop of 20 to 40 bushels to the acre, and are as easily grown as other beans. One bushel of Soja Beans is at least twice as valuable as^ corn for feeding pur-
poses. When roasted and ground it closely resembles coffee and tastes quite similar.
Its great value to the farmer lies in the fact that when ground it makes one of the most valuable crops for feeding stock and adds greatly to the milk production. Being a rich, nitrogenous feed, it is unsurpassed as a flesh former, and like the clovers, is a soil improver, deriving its nitro- gen from the air. Sow in drills 2 or 3 feet apart and 1 foot between plants. 30 to 40 lbs. will sow one acre. Do not cover more than 1 to 1% inches deep. % lb., 10c; lb., 15c; 2 lbs., 25c; 10 lbs., 75c. See market price list for quantity.
CASTOR OIL BEANS. Common Ricinus are easily grown in the lower altitudes and southern part of New Mexico and Arizona. Lb., 15c.
Lentils
A leguminous annual that flourishes in dry, sandy soil. Easily grown in Colorado. The dry seed is extensively used for soups and forms an important import article that can be produced in this country to a profit. Lb., 15c; 5 lbs., 60c.
Jerusalem Artichokes
Helianthus Tuberosns. A well known vegetable, produced from tubers like potatoes, which they somewhat resemble. Most valuable food for hogs and excellent food for stock. It is claimed they are as good as bran for milch cows. Do best in light, rich soil, but will resist any degree of cold incident to the United States. Plant like potatoes and as early as the ground will permit in May. Can remain in ground all winter, as freezing does not hurt them. Yield from 100 to 300 bushels per acre.

Dawn grass is a voracious feeder and will not thrive and hold its beautiful dark green color and velvety appearance unless it is suitably fed. The lack of this one re- quisite causes many poor and rusty looking lawns. Do not use barn manure, as it is apt to contain objectionable grass seeds and noxious weed seeds, which you will have to fight for years to come. It cannot be evenly distributed, the result being that one spot is over nourished while the next is starved. All these objections are obviated by using

This is a good article for the price, being made expressly for our trade. (Other makes called “Denver" are not our formula.) It contains 3 to 3% per cent, ammonia, 8 per cent, available phosphoric acid, and some other rich plant foods, just the materials required to build up strong, vigorous grass shoots and make a luxuriant carpet grass.

FA RMOGERM— High-Bred Nitrogen-Gath- ering Bacteria.
Makes Poor Soil Good Soil.
It is now generally understood that the quickest, most economical and most per- manent method of adding nitrogen to soil is to plant a leguminous crop of some kind after inoculating the seed with nitrogen- gathering bacteria.
FARMOGERM is offered for this purpose. It is a pure culture of a High Bred Nitro- gen-gathering bacteria. It comes in sealed bottles, and unlike any other preparation of this kind ever offered before, it is all ready for use. Just dilute with water ac- cording to directions. The carefully select- ed, active bacteria in Farmogerm insure quicker and larger growth of the crop inoc- ulated, and permanently enrich the soil for future crops. The theory of inoculation is recognized by authorities as the right so- lution of the nitrogen fertilizing problem. The problem has been to get the right cul- ture. Farmogerm is the right culture. We have a pamphlet which deals with the sub- ject intelligently and at some length. Let us mail you a copy free.
FARMOGERM is prepared for the follow- ing legumes:
Alfalfa, Clover. Field Peas, Cow Peas, Soy Beans, Vetch, Peanuts, Garden Beans, Gar- den Peas and Sweet Peas.
When ordering be sure and state for what cron Farmogerm is wanted.
We can supply in GARDEN SIZE a mixed culture for Peas, Beans and Sweet Peas, also White Clover for lawn, at 50c a bottle.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture says: “In new regions, where Alfalfa, Clover and other leguminous plants have not been cul- tivated, very few soils have enough of these bacteria in them to be of any practical value, and inoculation is essential.”
The price is $2.00 an acre, 10 per discount on 25 acres.
BONORA.
The recognized fertilizer of modern times. Used with eminent success by the prominent growers of the country. The actual results from the use of “Bonora" have been demon- strated fully, and are really beyond the ex- pectations of those who have used it. There are many so-called fertilizers on the market, but “Bonora” takes the lead and stands alone in the fertilizer world. Is establish- ing a reputation for itself second to none, as it never fails to give entire satisfaction. For plant life of every variety it is inval- uable, and the use of "Bonora” is a luxury to the early vegetable raiser, as it matures a crop 2 to 3 weeks earlier, greatly improv- ing it in every detail — a thorough test will convince the most skeptical, when instruc- tions are carefully followed, and those are so simple that the most inexperienced grower can carry them out.

SELF WATERING WINDOW AND PORCH FLOWER BOXES AND HANGING BASKETS.
As the name implies, these metal boxes and baskets are provided with a self-water- ing device which renders attention unnecessary except at intervals of from four to five days. A metal tube in the corner of each box extends from the water reservoir under- neath the false bottom upward through the soil to top of box. Inserted in holes in the false bottom are sponges which touch the extreme bottom of reservoir and extend up- ward through the soil in which the flowers are planted. The water is drawn upward through these sponges in sufficient quantities to maintain a uniform moisture in the soil. These boxes and baskets are made of heavy galvanized iron, neatly painted green, guaranteed not to leak, and provided with eyelets to fasten securely or to hang. On account of our high altitude and dry atmosphere they are provided, especially for our trade, with larger sponges and reservoir than usually furnished.
With each box or basket we will furnish free a booklet containing practical sug- gestions for window or porch boxes, by Eben E. Rexford.

THE PLANET JR. No. 8 HORSE HOE AND CULTIVATOR.
Probably no other cultivating machine is so widely known as the “Planet Jr.” Combined Horse Hoe and Cultivator, for it is in use through- out the civilized world. It is so strongly built as to withstand incredible strain, yet it is light and easy to handle.
The Frame is long and high, making a tool that will not clog easily.
The Standards are formed up hollow with round throats of stiff steel; they polish quickly and free themselves readily from obstructions; they clasp the frame and strengthen it.
The Depth is under perfect control by means of a new lever wheel and the new patented depth regulator, which are moved instantly in unison by a single lever, making exact work, steadying the machine and relieving the operator.
The Expander. This is an entirely new pattern, superior to all other forms; exceedingly strong, simple, accurate and positive in all positions.
The Reversible Side Hoes, patented, are an important part of the im- plement. They act as plows for hillers, or as a horse hoe, working so close that an immense amount of hand labor is avoided. Every part is perfected to make the tool acceptable to the farmer, who knows the best is the cheap- est. Weighs 82 lbs. Price, $9.00.
No. 7. Same as illustrated, except no depth regulator. Weighs 77 lbs. Price, $8.50.

PLANET JR. DOUBLE AND SINGLE CELERY HILLERS.
CELERY HILLERS are now considered indispensable in celery growing. The leaf lifters are adjustable in height, and are especially valuable for first workings. With them some of our best and largest growers hill their celery without any
handling. We equip both with lever expanders and leaf lifters. The double hiller only is fitted with lever wheels. The hilling blades are 43 inches long, adjustable in width or height as wanted, the double machine works all rows up to 4 feet apart. The single works all widths, and where market gardeners plant close and first bleach every other row, it is “just the thing.” It is also excellent help for burying the crop. Before hilling, the soil should be thoroughly loosened with a horse hoe.
Price, double, $lli.0C; weighs 88 lbs. Price, single, $13.00; weighs 68 lbs.

PLANET JR. TWELVE TOOTH HARROW AND CULTIVATOR.
It has a high frame and the chisel shape teeth can be cut an inch, wide each. It may be set with teeth trailing. The foot lever pulverizer is a capital addition for preparing ground for the seed drill or for plant setting. Hand levers regulate both width and depth while in motion; it contracts to 12 inches, and may be further reduced in width by taking off the outside teeth; it expands to 32 inches. It cultivates deep without throwing earth upon the plants, and the smooth, round, throated teeth turn strawberry run- ners without injuring them.

DOVETAILED HIVE FOR COMB HONEY, 1/2 and 2 STORY.
This hive is furnished either in eight-frame or ten- frame size. It consists of a plain box of %-inch No. 1 white
pine, 13%x20 inches outside measure, 9% inches deep, rabbetted %x% deep for frames to rest, with hand holes on outside. Eight or ten improved Hoffman frames, and follower board hang in this hive with a bee space above and below.
Folower board is cleated on the ends to prevent warping, and if the cleats are nailed on properly they will form a full bee-space on the side of board going next to the last frame. The bottom board is 14x21 inches, and is cleated, while the cleat in front is leveled down even with the board. The back cleat forms a bee-space below the frames, leaving an entrance in front with alighting board two inches wide. By this means the hive is not cut to form an entrance. This bottom may be used as a cover in an emergency, or it may be fastened permanently to the hive if desired.
The super is 4% inches deep, with slotted section- holders, sawed slotted separators, follower, and springs. When two supers are included with each hive it is then a two-story hive for comb honey.
All our hives are furnished with Excelsior cover, which is the best hive cover made, unless otherwise ordered.
This cover has a flat surface on the under side, which affords a proper bee space over the brood frames, yet at the same time it is a sloping cover, and will shed the rain as well as a gable cover (which it really is), and has the ad- vantage of double covers made of thin lumber (which splits up so badly), as it is made from solid boards 1 inch thick at the center and % inch at the outer edge. There are only five pieces in this cover, namely: .2 cover boards, 2 cleats and 1 ridge-board.
DANZENBAKER HIVE.
This hive is slightly shallower than the regular Dovetailed Hive but has exactly the same cubic capacity as the eight-frame. The brood-frames are just enough shallower so that the two inches of honey that is usu- ally put above the brood in a regular standard hive frame is crowded up into the supers, where it will bring the high- est market price. It is made in 10-frame size only. The brood-frames are closed-end 7% inches deep; 17 inches long and each is supported by a pivot in the center of the end- bars so that it may be readily reversed. The reversing feature makes it possible to get combs built clear out to the end. The frames are closed-end. and stop those chilling air currents across the faces of the combs, a matter of supreme importance in the rearing of brood in the spring.
The super takes 4x5x1 % plain sections. This is a deep super,
5% inches deep, without rabbet in top edge, but' with hanger cleats to sup- port Danzen- baker section- holders and M fences with end wedges or springs.
It is made 16% inches wide to admit easily
eight Danzen- Danzenbaker Super,
baker section-
holders and nine M fences with springs.

This is a fixed frame that is now used universally in the United States, and has become very popular. The ease with which it is manipulated is very satisfactory. The end bars are enlarged toward the top. They

are %-in. thick; 1-in. wide at the narrowest part and 1%-in. at the widest. This is the style in our Dovetailed Hives, unless ordered otherwise. The peculiar merit of this frame is that it can be hadled in lots of two, three or four, all at one time, and the same can be returned to the hive at one operation.

DANZENBAKER CLOSED-END FRAMES.
Ten for 35c; 100 for $3.40.
This we consider the best of any of the closed-end type of frames ever sold. As it is supported by pivots in each end of the end-bgrs it is reversible. A comb put in a hive upside down for a day or two during the honey-flow will have the space between the bottom bar (now at the top) and the comb entirely closed up. This secures solid cards of combs without any pop-holes, or space, between the frame proper and the comb itself.

The top-bar is %-inch wide and %-inch thick with single groove; no comb-guide.
Bottom bar is % wide and % thick; the end-bars are Hoffman self-spacing style, % thick by 5% long, end-spaced with staple same as full-depth Hoffman frames. 10 for 35c; 100 for $2.90.

FIRST QUALITY BASSWOOD SECTIONS— No. 1.
These are to be perfect white sections, all of those with weather stains or black spots on them being culled out. Indeed, they are “snow white.” If you intend to market your honey in the large cities, it will pay you to use the No. 1 white sections.
Unquestionably our sections this year are second to none. We will be very pleased to mail samples on application.
SECOND QUALITY SECTIONS— No. 2.
Second quality sections are those that we do not like to put in the first quality. Understand, they are perfect sections as far as workmanship is con- cerned, but they have dark streaks or spots on them; or, in other words, they are what are left after the first qualities have been selected out. If you are producing honey for your own use, these will answer all the purposes of a first quality section.
Several of our very successful apiarists in Colorado are using these sections.

VAN DEUSEN WAX TUBE FASTENER.
It is simply a tin tube about half an inch in diameter, six inches long, tapering and at the apex a small hole. On one side, near the handle is prickled another small hole which may be opened or closed with the thumb. When the tube is stood up in a cup of hot wax the air will escape from the upper hole and the wax flow in at the other small hole at the bottom. The thumb is closed over the upper one, the in- strument is drawn out of the wax, and the point is then slowly drawn along the edge of the foundation in contact with the top-bar, leaving a fine stream of hot wax to cement it. Price, 25c each.

DOOLITTLE WAX EXTRACTOR.
One of the Most Paying Things, Considering First Cost, is a Good Solar Wax Extractor.
There is not “millions in it,” but there is many a dollar’s worth of wax that can be saved in a season, even in a small apiary, by having a solar wax extractor setting handy where you can drop in little pieces of comb as they accumulate, and you have no idea how much will accumulate, until some day you look into the wax extractor, and behold! there is a beautiful cake of clear, transparent wax in the extractor pan. "A dollar saved is a dollar earned,” and a Solar Wax Extractor will earn this dollar for you.
Doolittle Solar Extractor, weighs 30 lbs., $4.75.
DADANT’S UNCAPPING CAN.
This Is Indispensable to the Apiarist Who Has Much Honey to Extract.
Doolittle Wax Extractor. . The uncapping is done over it and the cappings fall on
the screen below and are drained. It not only saves a great deal of honey, but also the white wax cappings, and it keeps things neat and clean. This machine is also invaluable for making Sugar Syrup by the percolator plan for feeding. Spread over the wire cloth a thickness of muslin; over this distribute evenly a layer of cotton batting about an inch thick, and over the whole another thickness of muslin. Now pour in sugar and water in equal propor- tions by measure, and the next morning you can draw off syrup from the lower can just right for feeding. Weighs 60 lbs. Price, $9.50.

SHIPPING CASES FOR COMB HONEY.
Comb honey put up in a nice, clean, attractive crate will bring more than when packed in an unattractive shape. Most of our crates are made of snow white basswood, except the bottoms and back, which are not visible when set on a counter. They are simply beautiful to look at, and when filled with nice comb honey they are doubly beautiful.
Dndnnt's Uncapping Can.
German Steam Wax Press.
The 24-lb. double-tier case is almost universally used in Colorado, as it is the one which finds most favor with western dealers in honey. It was adopted as the standard package by the members of the Colorado State Bee Keepers’ Association several years ago.
It certainly is the most attractive package, as one-fourth of all the honey contained is exposed to view.
One sheet of paper should be placed in the bottom of the case, and the other over the top inside.

CARTONS FOR COMB HONEY.
We sell two forms of cartons — one known as the folding, in which the section is com- pletely inclosed; the other is the Danzenbaker with open sides. These latter are cheaper, and much handier to put the sections in, and can be used in ordinary shipping-cases, while
the folding carton requires a special case. To hold the Danzen- baker in place it is advisable to slip a rubber band over it. These we furnish when ordered. It necessarily has no printing at the sides, but has on all the other panels.
Both styles of cartons are furnished for our regular sizes of cections — 4!4x4Vixl% and 1%; also 4x5x1%. Other sizes are sfurnished in large quantity on special order.
We would advise any honey-producer who sells any honey llocally to purchase a quantity of the folding cartons. They fare very handy for retailing, because the customer can take the honey home without danger; and moreover they tend to whet his appetite by a recital of the merits of honey as a food.

Genuine Standard Cyphers Incubators
FIRE-PROOFED — INSURABLE.
These Incubators are built strictly in compliance with the dovetailed specifications adopted by the National Board of Fire Underwriters and bear the Official Label of the Associated Fire Insurance Companies doing business in North America.
MADE IN FOUR SIZES.
No. 0, 70 Hen Eggs, 56 Duck Eggs $15.75 No. 2, 244 Hen Eggs, 200 Duck Eggs $34.00
No. 1, 144 Hen Eggs, 112 Duck Eggs 23.50 No. 3, 390 Hen Eggs, 300 Duck Eggs 40.00
It is conclusively demonstrated that by the use of these improved
machines our customers are able to obtain larger average hatches of strong, vigorous and healthy chicks and ducklings than have ever be- fore been reported in the history of the industry.
The No. 0 and No. 1 size incubators are not equipped with the nur- sery drawers, for the reason that they are not required in these smaller size machines, and the drop-bottom is omitted for the same reason. These two smaller-sized machines contain all other improvements, in- cluding the new metal-cap, banded heaters, the latest-improved ther- mostats, the removable top diaphragms, the inclined egg trays, and the split lower diaphragms. Furthermore, the hatching and nursery apart- ments of each of these machines have been deepened one inch, as com- pared with the earlier styles, thus securing a larger volume of air in the incubating chamber and a greater depth in the nusery section.
The No. 2 and No. 3 Standard Cyphers Incubators are equipped with what we call a drop-bottom. The bottom panel of each machine con- sists of a substantial frame, enclosing a hinged bottom that can be let down any distance until it reaches the floor. By this means the entire under surface of the lower felt diaphragm is exposed, thus materially increasing the ventilation of the hatching chamber and nursery apart- ment, especially the latter.
The No. 2, 244-egg capacity, and the No. 3, 390-egg capacity, latest pattern Standard Cyphers Incubators are furnished with two nursery drawers. The drawers occupy the nursery space underneath the egg trays and are reached through solid wooden doors, located below the glass-panel door that opens into the upper portion of the hatching chamber where the egg trays are situated.
The No. 3 size Incubators are supplied with extra ventilating tubes, by means of which these large machines may be used with maximum results for hatching both hen eggs and duck eggs. In other words, they are combination hen-egg and duck-egg incubators.
All these Standard Cyphers Incubators are warranted as follows:
First — To require no supplied moisture, under normal conditions, thus solving and disposing of the troublesome “moisture question.”
Second — To be self-ventilating, the air in the egg chamber remaining pure at all times by its own gentle but positive action.
Third — To be self-regulating, being equipped with the most sensitive and durable regulator thus far invented.
Fourth — To be so constructed that the temperature in the egg chamber is more equable than in any other incubator.
Fifth — To produce larger, stronger, and healthier chicks and ducklings than any other style or make of incubator.
CYPHERS ADAPTABLE HOVER.
This Hover is self-ventilating and self-regulating and bears the Fire Underwriters’ “Inspected Brooder” label. It can be used in home-made brooders or as a brooding device in colony coops. As its name indicates it is an efficient and ingenious device for use anywhere that chicks can be housed with safety, and it will do satisfactory work under widely varying conditions. It is constructed entirely of non-combustible material, and could be operated, without danger of fire, if placed in a kindling wood box filled with shavings. Price, $9.00.

to one side, out ofi the- way for cleaning, purposes; x dtoor, the sill of which is on a level with the floor of the exarcising- room, which facilitates cleaning, a convenient means for obtaining ample ventilation, while at the same time prevent- ing cats, rats and other enemies of chicks from gaining
STYLE B OUTDOOR BROODER.
It possesses all the valuable features found in our Style A, and is twice as large. Style B Brooder has three apart- ments, and for that reason is recommended especially to all poultry raisers. The construction of the chick doors in the partition which separates the hover and exercising apart- ments in the Cyphers Style B and Style C Outdoor Brooders is most unusual and advantageous. An opening or chick door is located at either end of the partition, close to the floor, which leaves the center board on a line between the outdoor chick exit and the space underneath the hover, thus furnishing a wind-break to protect the chicks under the Style C. hover. This construction also does away with four corners
in these brooders, thereby practically eliminating the danger of small chicks losing the-ir way to the hover. Each of these chick openings is covered with a slitted felt curtain, and the double wooden door is closed at night or at any time it is- desired to confine the chicks in the hover apartment for greater warmth, or to the exercising apartment while the hover- apartment is being cleaned and aired.
“Inspected Brooder” label. It employs top heat exclusively, thus giving the chicks free use of all space underneath the hover. It is self-ventilating and self-regulating.
By the use of the double-frame door we secure several advantages, including the following: A large door opening
access to the brooder; a protection against rain beating in. when the inner door is liooked open for purposes of ventila- tion.
Dimensions: Floor space, 32x32 inches; height, 32 inches-

CYPHERS .PORTABLE BROODING HOVER.
This hover is self-regulating, self- ventilating, all nsetal, practically inde- structible, and can be moved anywhere. It is constructed throughout of metal, except the brooding curtain, and,, with reasonable care, will last a life-time. There is nothing about it to wear out or give out, except that once a month or such matter a new wick will be needed. The lamp has a seamless bottom and therefor cannot spring a leak. It holds 2 quarts of oil and will last 48 to 96 hours, depending on the time of the year, or the temperature of tb.e place in which the hover is operated. The hover will comfortably accommodate 80 newly- hatched chicks, or 50 from 3 to 6 weeks old. Price, £6-75..
INTERNATIONAL SANITARY' HOVER-
This hover can be picked up and carried around with ease and used anywhere. It gives equally good results in a hen house, barn, cow stall, piano or dry goods box. It is circular in shape, is made of metal throughout, and fire- proof. The hover sets on floor just as a mother •hen does The lamp can be lifted out through the top and the operator does not need to kneel ?n the dust There is no possibility of gases and fumes from the lamp getting into the air breathed by the chicks. The thermometer can be lifted out, looked at and diopped back without moving the hover (see illustration). During the winter months this ho can be used for sprouting grain for green feed. It will hold 12 quarts of oats which, when sprouted, will yield in 8 days enough green food to feed 500 laying hens for S days.

ESSEX-MODEL COLONY BROODER— Styles A and B
The Essex-Model Brooders are known wherever poultry is raised by reason of their splendid combination of light, heat, ventilation and floor space. Their superiority-oVer all others is readily seen. In these Brooders the fresh outside air is first heated; then introduced and spread throughout the hover without creating a draft. The absence of oil fumes is secured by air tight heating parts, and in all of the Essex-Model Brooders the hover can be readily raised for cleaning purposes. The advantages named place the Essex Model Brooders in a class by themselves, as the most economical, most practical and highest quality Brooder made. The Essex-Model A and B Outdoor Colony Brooders and Roost Coops are
similar in appearance and construction, the difference between the two Brooders being as follows:
Model A Brooder, price, $11.50. Contains two apartments and is 281/4x47% inches in size. It has a supplementary cover or diaphragm that may be used for indoor purposes or outdoors in fine weather when the roof is raised, thereby affording superior ventilation. Shipping weight, 95 lbs.
Model B Brooder, price, $14.25. Contains three apartments, two of them similar to the Model A and an additional exercising apartment separated by a wooden partition. This Brooder is 34%x58 % inches in size. It has a wire screen for the window of the nursery chamber. Shipping weight, 140 pounds.

ESSEX-MODEL NEW HOMESTEAD BROODER
Portable Hover.
An especially attractive and practical brooding outfit for those who wish to build their own brooders or for attaching to a New Homestead Brooder,
small colony house or coop, or for use in a
brooder house. No other hover possesses as many practical advantages. It may be easily raised for cleaning purposes or to examine the chicks beneath it without detaching it from the brooder — one of our latest improvements not possessed by any other similar hover.
Price, complete, $6.75. Shipping weight, 25 lbs.
This is a low-priced Brooder substantially constructed, and is considerably in advance of the kind usually sold at the price we ask for it. It can be used either indoor or out- doors. It is 21x34% inches and has a chick capacity nearly equal to brooders that are sold for double the money. It is equipped with our superior heavy galvanized iron lamp
and chimney, metal heating parts, tested thermometer, and is complete in every way. Capacity, 50 chicks. Price, $5.75. Shipping weight, 40 lbs.

THE BARTELDES SEED CO., DENVER, COLO.
The W.-K. Chicken Coop
This Galvanized Iron Coop won’t rust, and will last a lifetime.
It is Rat, Weasel, Mink and Skunk proof; and Mites cannot live in an iron house.
It is dry and won’t absorb moisture.
It is easily cleaned and is perfectly sanitary.
It is put together in grooves and slides, and is held solid simply by two small bolts, which may be removed and the coop taken apart in a few seconds. The bottom simply slides in and may be removed and cleaned without lifting the coop, disturbing the chickens or soiling your clothes.
The openings are closed by two doors; one solid and one for ventilation. In the solid door is a small opening for young chicks — a door within a door — and it’s all sim- plicity simplified. With the screen door a circulation is secured through the ventilators that makes hot nights cool, while the ventilators are perfectly rain-proof. One side of the coop opens like a lid and turns the coop into a model nest; while the lid only partially raised makes a double ventilation when needed.
This coop is about 18x24 in. and 17 in. high, giving plenty of room for a hen and 25 chicks, 'till old enough to shift for themselves. Price, $2.00.
SANITARY BROOD COOP.
Sanitary Brood Coop.
It is made of galvanized iron and is collapsible. No bugs or insects of any kind can live in it. It has ventilated top and end. It has 3 doors, one wire screen, one slatted to allow the little chicks to pass in and out, and one storm door to close in case of rain. Size about 18 inches high, 18 inches wide and 24 inches long. It is hooked and grooved together and does not need any bolt to fasten together. Price, 92.00.
WIRE NESTS.
These nests are strongly made from heavy japanned steel wire,
1%-inch mesh. Will fasten to wall with screws or hooks. No place for lice or vermin of any kind to lodge; are easy to keep clean and are far superior to wooden boxes.
Price, each, 20c; 3 for 50c.
OAKE’S HYDRO-SAFETY LAMP.

We do not keep these fowls on hand; thus, it is impossible to fill orders as promptly as we desire. Nearly all of our breeders are located in the country, therefore, when we receive your order it is necessary to write a letter and it is usually a day before the breeder receives it, and another day before he can deliver the birds to us. Thus, it can easily be seen that it takes three days before we can fill your order.
In very cold weather it is sometimes necessary to hold the birds for a day or so until the weather moderates, as it Is dangerous to move valuable birds of the large comb breeds — such as Minorcas and Leghorns — in severe weather, on ac- count of the danger of freezing their combs.
We are particularly careful about shipping birds. Our shipping coops are light but very substantially made and have a slatted top, allowing plenty of air, and taking a cheaper express rate than the canvas coops. Provision is made for feed and water.
During the breeding season, or from February 1st to May 1st, we try to have on hand a display of good cockerels at our store, but outside of this period it is impossible to do this, as the birds which are kept confined are bound to become weakened and sickly in time. The price of these birds depends much on the merit of each particular specimen; there- fore, it is difficult to give exact prices in the catalogue.
In writing for birds be sure to state whether you wish utility or show birds.
We are always glad to make quotations, so do not hesitate to inquire.
We advertise all kinds of eggs for hatching, but please remember that we do not guarantee them.
We secure our eggs from reliable and up-to-date breeders, and we have every reason to believe that they will run about 85% fertile, but on account of the amount of handling which they are bound to receive in our hands and in transit, we have found it necessary to withdraw any guarantee whatever. We regret very much that we find it necessary to do this, however, we have decided it to be best for all parties concerned.
Turkeys and Ducks do not usually start laying in this locality much before March 15th, and as the first eggs are never the best, we think the first of April is plenty early.
Orders for one and two settings are packed in Anderson egg boxes. Each egg has a compartment, and is carefully protected by layers of corrugated paper. Larger lots are packed in baskets.
Eggs should go via express. We send a notice by mail the same day that the express shipment is made, advising cus- tomer of same. No goods sent C. O. D.
A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER IF YOU WANT YOUR CHICKENS TO DO WELL;
Do not keep a hen more than two years unless exceptionally good.
Young hens are the early winter layers and they will commence laying when 5 to 8 months old, according to breed, thus, if you want them to lay in October, November and December, when eggs are bringing a good price .hatch your chicks in March, April and the beginning of May.
Every year or so introduce new blood into your flock, either by getting a male bird or a setting of eggs. Fowls too much inbred lose vigor.
Build your houses so as to have plenty of sunshine and fresh air, but be sure that there is no draught and that the roof is not leaky. Most of the diseases come from draught, dampness and foul air.
Feed your chickens enough to keep the body warm and have a little more for laying. Nature requires more feed in winter to keep the body warm, and hens cannot lay eggs until this want is first provided for, then the surplus feed goes to make egg.s
Do not expect your hens to lay much if you feed grain alone. They must have, to do their best, vegetables or alfalfa meal, meat, ground bone, oyster shell and grit, in addition to grain.
Keep the house clean and free from mites and lice and the chickens will amply repay you for your work.
Don’t feed the chicks wet food. Don’t forget to feed mash 3 or 4 times a week.
Don’t keep your brooder too warm. Don’t expect fertile eggs from an over-fat hen.
Don’t feed little chicks more than they will eat up clean. Don’t forget to keep charcoal before your fowls at all
Don’t take chicks out of incubator too soon. times.

Sirs: Some years ago I had a great deal of trouble raising my baby chicks. Indigestion of different forms. I was
reeding this, that and the other feed. I finally tried your prepaired chick food and developing food. The trial proved so satisfactory I have never ceased to recommend it to all poultry raisers. Wishing you success in maintaining the high standard of your foods, I remain.

BARTELDES’ CHICK FEED (HOYT’S).
The Best Balanced Dry Foods for Chicks.
This is our own for- mula; beware of imita- tions. In Barteldes’ Chick Feed we know we have a food far superior to any other chick feed on the market. It is made from the best of seed grain; in fact, every grain that is put in this food would grow if planted. It is a perfect chick food. It con- tains all the necessary in- gredients that a chick needs. It will prevent bowel trouble and all other chick complaints. It is used by most every poultry raiser in Colorado. We have never had a single complaint against it; every, one pronounces it a won- derful food. Put up in our own printed sacks.
Price: 6-lb. pkg., 25c;
14-lb. sack, 50c; 30-lb.
sack, 90c; 50-lb. sack, $1.50; 100-lb. sack, $2.75.

for 25c; 17 lbs., 50c; 50 lbs., $1.25; 100 lbs., $2.35.
BARTELDES’ FATTENING FOOD.

DENVER LAYING FOOD.
A Carefuly Balanced Mash Food for Eggs and Feather Making.
As we have had many years’ experience in Colorado, we feel that we are familiar with the needs and requirements of our Western poultry breeders, and, in offering this Mash, we know we are offering a high grade article that gives favorable results. A trial will convince the most skeptical that this food is an egg producer.
Price, 50 lbs., $1.00; 100 lbs., $1.75.
BARTELDES’ MIXED HEN FEED.
This is a balanced food of mixed grains for laying hens. It contains grit, shell, bone, dried meat, sunflower and mixed grains of different kinds in suitable proportions, to promote egg yield. The variety of grains, shell, grit, dried meat, etc., being of different size induces fowls to scratch more, and as exercise is necessary to promote indigestion, they will be kept strong and vigorous.
Price fluctuates. Present price, 50 lbs., $1.10; 100 lbs., $1.,80. Ask for quotations on large quantities.

MILLET SEED.
Let your fowls “work for their living” by scratching in litter for millet seed. It is a good food for the growing chicks. Price, 8 lbs. for 25c; 25 lbs. for 65c.
CRUSHED OYSTER SHELL.
This is a most important article for the poultry yard, and should be supplied to the fowls liberally.
Our shell is of superior quality, as all parts of the egg shell are contained in them; whereas a good portion of the shell offered is nothing more than the refuse of the fertilizer works and not fit to offer a decent hen.

THE BARTELDES SEED CO., DENVER, COLO.
CONCENTRATED STOCK FOODS
BLATCHFORD’S CALF MEAL.
A Perfect Milk Substi- tute, will raise calves at from one-third to one-quar- ter the expense of feeding milk.
100 Pounds Gorund Oil Cake contains 27 lbs. of digestible protein.
100 Pounds Corn, Oats or Barley contain 9 lbs. of digestible protein.
Blatchford’s Calf Meal
This calf meal is a perfect substitute for milk as it contains all the elements necessary for bodily growth in the cor- rect proportions. It pushes pigs, colts, lambs, calves, etc., forward better and quicker than any other food; also prevents scouring. One pound of calf meal mixed with one gallon of skim milk will make a gallon of perfect food, equal in feed- ing value to one gallon of whole milk, at one-half the cost. After the calf is 3 or 4 weeks old water can be used instead of skim milk with equal good results. The gruel should be fed at a temperature of 90 to 100 degrees. When the gruel is made of whole milk the proportions should be: 1 pint calf meal, 2 quarts whole milk and 2 quarts water. It is also
a good plan to have a little calf meal dry in a box stall where the calves can get it. Fed dry in this way it has been found a cure for the most obstinate cases of “scouring.” Price, 25-lb. bag, $1.00; 50-lb. bag, $2.00; 100-lb. bag, $3.50.
Oil Cake Meal
OIL CAKE MEAL is the most valuable and useful by-product of the farm. It is not only eery rich in protein but is a safe and palatable food. When fed judiciously there is no class of animals kept on the farm to which it may not be fed with profit for a shorter or longer period. It is much relished by all classes of domestic animals, and is, to some extent, an appetizer as well as a food. Being mildly laxative it exercises a salutary influence on the digestive organs. There is no kind of concentrated foods or grain with which it cannot be combined. To all kinds of growing animals it may be fed with much benefit in the winter, along with grain and other meal. It may form as much as 10% of the con- centrated feed. It is also very helpful for cattle that are finished on pasture.
As a food for wilch cows Oil Cake Meal, to a certain limit, is most satisfactory; though it should not exceed 3 to 3% pounds daily. It not only increases the quantity of milk; but will also increase the amount of butter fat. Repeated experiments have proven that butter made from the milk of oil cake fed cows is easily digested even by a weak stomach, while butter made from ordinary fed cows is hard to digest. The amount of digestive protein in oil cake meal com- pared with other grain foods is from 2% to 3 times larger.
OIL CAKE MEAL or GROUND OIL CAKE, as it is very often called, is the by-product of flax seed after the oil has been extracted. It contains 27.3 protein and 48.5 carbohydrate per 100 pounds. The nutritive ratio is 1:1.7.
In fattening all kinds of animals for the market a certain amount of Oil Cake Meal or Flax Seed Meal should be fed the last 3 or 4 weeks of the fattening period, as their use will not only add weight, but improve greatly the general appearance.
To pounltrymen it is likewise of value in keeping fowls in good health. Price fluctuates. Present price: 8 lbs.
for 25c; 25 lbs. for 70c; 50 lbs. for $1.30; 100 lbs. for $2.50.
Flax Seed Meal
FLAX SEED MEAL is made from whole flax seed, ground fine, and contains per 100 pounds 8.1 water; 4.7 ash; 21.6 protein; 7.3 crude fibre; 27,9 nitrogen extract, and 30.4 ether extract. Being richer than Oil Cake Meal it requires less to mix with other foods to obtain equal results.
A little fed occasionally to poultry is very beneficial. One tablespoonful in a mash to each dozen fowls, daily, is a great help during the moulting season. Present price: 1 lb., 10c; 3 lbs., 25c; 10 lbs., 80c; 25 lbs., $1.75; 50 lbs., $3.25.
Barteldes “Western Seeds” have been in use in this Western country for 35 years and have proven to be best adapted either for irrigation or dry farming.
