HALLAWELL SEED COMPANY

258 MARKET STREET, SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

HARRY E. HALLAWELL, MANAGER

In offering our fourth annual catalogue we do so with the purpose of submitting an intelligent list of the garden, flower and field seeds that have proved to be of sufficient merit to warrant recognition as standard varieties. Many novelties are introduced each year, but in most cases they lack commercial value and are consequently dropped. Therefore, we have aimed to list nothing but the best novelties and standard varieties, and the descriptions accompanying them are based on actual experience and observation. "We have endeavored to give full cultural directions for vegetable and flower seeds which will be found on pages 1 to 6 for vegetables, and page 33 for flowers.

HOW TO ORDER BY MAIL

Write your name and full address very plainly. Orders for seeds can be filled and sent off almost as soon as received, but orders for plants and trees must sometimes be delayed on account of stormy weather and rush of orders.

We send by mail free of charge or by express prepaid, all orders for flowers and vegetable seeds (except peas, beans and corn.) We do not pay postage or express charges on grasses, clovers, field seeds, onion sets, bird seed, tools or plants. Paris green and other poisons cannot be sent by mail.

We send orders C. 0. D. only if 25 per cent, of the amount of order is enclosed. Plants we never send C. 0. D.

Remittances should be made by postoffice money order, express money order, or by bank draft on San Francisco. For amounts up to one dollar, postage stamps will be accepted.

Shipping — State how you want your order sent, by mail, by express or by freight, and where express or freight offices differ from postoffice be sure so to state.

Non-Warranty — NOTE — 'There are so many contingencies to be encountered in growing plants from seed and in setting out plants that are dependent on the weather and other conditions over which we have no control, that success in planting is not altogether dependent on the seed or plant. We will send out only seed which we believe will grow and produce the kind of plant and variety represented ; ‘ ‘but Hallawell Seed Co. give no warranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs, plants or trees they send out, and they will not be responsible in any way for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods on these terms, they are at once to be returned.

How to Grow Our Vegetables and Roots

Artichoke

One ounce will sow 200 feet of row, and produce about 500 plants. Six ounces will plant an acre. A deep rich sandy loam is best adapted for this plant. The seed should be sown thinly in drills 1 V2 inches deep and 1 foot apart. When large enough, transplant to permanent rows 3 feet apart, allowing 2 feet between the plants. They reach maturity the second year, and in the northern states should be protected in winter by

a covering of leaves or coarse manure. A bed will continue in bearing for several years.

Jerusalem, or Tuberous-Rooted Artichoke. Entirely distinct, and grown exclusively for their large potato- like roots, which are valuable for feeding hogs, the yield often exceeding 2 tons per acre. They need not be dug, but the hogs can be turned into the field to root them up; 1 acre will keep 20 head in good condition until spring.

Asparagus

One ounce will sow 50 feet of row, and produce about 800 plants. Four to five pounds will plant an acre.

Sow the seed early in spring in drills 12 to 14 inches apart, and when well started thin out to 3 inches apart.

When one or two years old, transplant into permanent beds, thoroughly trenched, 2 feet or more in depth. Set

the plants in rows 2 feet apart, and not less than 18 inches apart in the row. Care should be taken that the

roots are well spread, and set at a depth of 6 inches below the level of the bed. Cover only 2 or 3 inches, and fill in gradually as the plants grow. Very little, if any, should be cut the first year after transplanting, but

a fair crop can be cut the second year. Every fall after the tops have been cut down apply a dressing of

coarse manure, and in the spring fork it in. An occasional top-dressing of salt at the rate of % pound per square yard is also beneficial, and keeps down the weeds.

Asparagus Roots

A saving of one or two years is effected by planting roots. A bed 12 by 40 feet, requiring about 100 roots, should give a sufficient supply for an ordinary family. If planted in rows 3 feet apart and 2 feet between the plants, 7,260 roots will plant an acre.

Beans

There are two distinct classes of beans which produce edible pods — the wax or yellow-podded varieties, called also “Butter” Beans, and the green-podded kinds. Both are used in the same way as “Snap” Beans. The wax-podded varieties look more attractive, but some of the green-podded kinds are of better quality and not subject to rust as much as the wax kinds.

Another class is composed of beans used for shelling and cooking when green. Of this class Limas are by far the best quality. Still another class produces beans that are used when ripe and dry. These are called “Field” Beans, as they are usually grown only in large fields and not in gardens.

Beans should not be sown until April 15th, or until all danger from frost is over. Sow the bush varieties in rows 2 feet apart and 3 inches apart in the row. Plant the pole beans 3 feet apart in hills and set a pole firmly in each hill. Sow 5 or 6 beans in a hill. Cover the seeds from 1 to 2 inches deep. Plant in a rich, mellow soil and cultivate frequently. One pound of the bush varieties will plant 100 feet of row; 50 pounds will plant 1 acre, and will mature in 45 to 65 days; 1 pound of the pole varieties will plant 50 hills; 25 pounds will plant 1 acre, and will mature in about 65 to 75 days.

Beets for Table Use

One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill; 5 pounds will plant an acre, and will mature in 65 to 75 days. Rich deep soil, not too recently manured, is best for this crop; sow about 1 inch deep in drills 15 inches apart, and when well established thin the plants to 6 inches apart in the rows. Beets can be planted any time of the year.

Mangel Wurzel and Sugar Beets

Largely Grown for Feeding Stock

Five or six pounds will plant 1 acre, and will mature in about 150 days. The seed should be planted in rows 2 feet apart and thinned to 8 inches in the rows. To obtain the best results from this crop, use deep soil, well plowed; if the soil is thin a liberal application of a reliable chemical fertilizer is necessary. The value of beets for stock feeding cannot be over-estimated. The results from their use are clearly shown in the improved health and condition of the animals, the increased yield of milk in cows, and the great saving of hay. They can be raised at a trifling cost, and selected seed will yield immense crops per acre.

Broccoli

This is a plant bearing heads resembling those of the cauliflower, but more hardy, and gives excellent results in cool northern localities. We do not consider it of any value in warm or dry localities, nor so fine in quality as the cauliflower. One ounce will produce 1,000 plants and will mature in about 110 days.

Sow the seed V2 inch deep and transplant to rows 2% feet apart and 1% feet apart in the row. Cultivate

the same as cabbage.

Brussels Sprouts

One ounce will produce 1,000 plants and will mature in about 150 days. Sow as directed for broccoli, and set the plants in rows 2% feet apart and 2 feet apart from the rows. They require a long season of growth,

but with suitable soil and liberal manuring an excellent crop of this vegetable can be secured. Cultivate

the same way as cabbage.

Cabbage

It is difficult to give definite cultural directions for cabbage, since it is possible to have good cabbage at all seasons of the year in some part of the country. Seed may be planted almost any time of the year. However, there are three seasons preferable for sowing — in September for early spring cabbages, from January to April for summer and fall cabbages, and July to August for winter cabbages. Sow the seed % inch deep and transplant the early varieties to rows 24 inches apart and 18 inches apart in the rows. They will mature in about 105 days. The late varieties mature in about 150 days and should be planted in rows 30 inches apart and 24 inches apart in the row. To prevent the heads from splitting open before they are ready to be harvested, the plants should be loosened a little at the root. Cabbages require plenty of moisture, but too much water causes them to rot very readily.

Cauliflower

Culture same as cabbage. Soil must be rich and deep, and the plants liberally supplied with water in dry weather. As the flower heads appear, the large leaves should be broken down over them to protect them from the sun and rain. One ounce will produce 1,000 plants and will mature in about 110 days. Sow from June to January.

Celery

Sow the seed % inch deep in open ground as soon as fit to work in April, or for very early use in hot bed or cold frame. Pressing in the seed has often been found more satisfactory than covering. Cut the tops off once or twice before planting out, to make them stocky. When the plants are 5 or 6 inches high, transplant to rows 2 feet apart and set the plants 6 inches apart in rows. Water freely and shade from sun until established. Cultivate well, and when large enough blanch by earthing up or by partly shading the rows with boards. One ounce to 2,000 plants, and will mature in about 6 months.

Carrots

Best results are obtained when carrots are planted in a rich, deep, sandy loam, well pulverized and deeply cultivated. For an early crop sow in March and April in drills about 1 foot apart, thinning out to 4 inches in the row; sow for main crop in August and September. The large late varieties for field culture should be sown in drills 3 to 3% feet apart, so as to cultivate by horse. An important point in sowing carrots, as in all other seeds, is to tread the row firmly after sowing. One ounce will sow over 100 feet

of drill; 3 to 4 pounds for 1 acre. For garden purposes, sow any time.

Celeriac or Turnip Rooted Celery

Sow seed same as celery, transplant into rows 2 feet apart and about 6 to 8 inches in the row. No

earthing up is required for celeriac, as it is the roots which are the edible part of the vegetable. For

winter use, pack in damp sand or earth in cellar, or cover with straw and earth outside.

Chervil

May be planted any time in the early spring. The leaves should be kept cut, and if not allowed to run to seed, will keep green for a long time. Is more finely curled than parsley, and makes an excellent plant for garnishing. One ounce will plant 100 feet of row. Sow seed % inch deep.

HALLAWELL SEED CO., SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.

Chicory

Used as substitute for coffee when the roots are dried and ground. The roots are also used for

cooking, and are very palatable. Sow the seed % inch deep early in the spring, thin the young plants to 6 inches and keep well hoed. The plant spreads from the root and is perennial; will mature in 120

days. One ounce will sow 400 feet of row; 4 pounds will plant an acre.

Collards

A plant bearing a large ma~s of leaves on the top of a stout stalk. It is a species of cabbage, and the flavor is the same. It bears leaves all through the winter, and is used especially in the South for cabbage greens. Young plants may be started in boxes in early spring, and the young plants transplanted to 1%

feet apart each way and hoe often. One ounce will plant 400 feet of row.

Corn Salad or Fetticus

A salad plant used as a substitute for lettuce in salads, or may be cooked like spinach for greens. It

does well in winter and spring and matures in about 100 days. On rich soil the leaves grow quickly and are

exceedingly tender.

Sow from August to November in drills % inch deep and 6 inches apart. Tread it lightly to secure germination.

Sweet or Sugar Corn

Corn is sensitive to frost and is liable to rot in cold or wet ground. It should not be planted until April or May, or when the ground has become warm. It will mature in 80 to 100 days and can be planted until July, in hills 2 or 3 feet apart. Cover the seed about 1 inch deep; thin out to 3 plants to a hill. Plant

in a rich, moist soil; hoe and cultivate frequently. One pound will plant 60 hills, and 15 pounds will plant

an acre.

Field Corn should be planted in hills 4 feet apart each way; use 10 pounds to the acre.

Cucumbers

One ounce will plant 100 hills; 3 pounds will plant 1 acre. Cucumbers succeed best in a rich, loamy soil. If wanted very early, sow in hotbeds, in berry boxes, or small flower-pots six weeks before they can be set out in open ground. When danger of frost is over transplant in hills 4 feet apart each way. For general crop, plant in May, about 6 or 8 seeds, 1 inch deep, in a hill. Leave four of the strongest plants to each hill, but do not thin out until plants are strong enough to resist the attack of insects. They mature in 120 days.

Cress or Pepper Grass

Used as a salad, either alone or mixed with other greens; also used for garnishing. Sow thickly in shallow drills about 1 foot apart.

Watercress

This is sown by the side of running water. It is altogether an aquatic plant and forms an early and wholesome spring salad.

Dandelion

One ounce will sow 200 feet of drill. The seed will mature in six months and should be sown in May and June in drills 18 inches apart and % inch deep. The leaves are best for salad when blanched, by partly shading the rows with boards.

Egg Plant

One ounce will produce 1,000 plants. A strong, uniform heat is required to germinate the seeds, and a thoroughly pulverized, well-enriched, warm soil is necessary to perfect the fruit. Sow the seed from January to March % inch deep and transplant when all danger from frost is over 2% feet apart each way, and when about a foot high, support the plants by drawing the earth up around them. Egg plants mature in 150 to 160 days.

Endive

One ounce will row 100 feet of drill. Sow the seed % inch deep in any ordinary soil from June to October in drills 1 y2 feet apart, covering lightly. When the plants are about 2 inches high, thin to about 8 inches in the row. When the plants have attained full size, gather up the leaves, tying together at the tips. This excludes the air from the inner leaves, which in the course of three or four weeks will become blanched.

HALLAWELL SEED CO., SAN FRANCISCO, CAL

Kale or Borecole

This plant is useful for furnishing a large supply of greens for boiling during the early fall, winter, and spring months. Sow the seed thinly in drills, transplanting to rows 2 feet apart when of sufficient size. Sow as directed for cabbage. One ounce will produce 1,000 plants; 3 pounds will plant an acre.

Kohl Rabi — Turnip Rooted Cabbage

One ounce will produce 1,000 plants. Sow the seed % inch deep in rows 18 inches apart, afterwards thinning to 8 or 10 inches. The bulb is the edible part and when cooked tastes very much like turnip. Kohl Rabi will mature in 120 days and may be sown from January to May and from July to October.

Leek

Sow from January to April, in drills 1 foot apart and % inch deep. When the plants are 6 to 8 inches high transplant in a deep, rich soil, in rows 12 inches apart and 4 inches in the rows, as deep as possible, so that the neck may be covered and blanched; draw the earth to them as they grow. The seed may also be sown in July or August for good plants in the fall and winter. One ounce will plant 200 feet of row; 4 pounds will plant an acre.

Lettuce

Lettuce seed should be covered very lightly to secure germination. When well started transplant to rows 18 inches apart and 6 inches apart in the row. It may be planted throughout the season in most localities, and will mature in 65 to 90 days according to the variety and season of planting. One ounce will sow 200 feet of row; 4 pounds will plant an acre.

Muskmelon

One ounce will plant 80 hills; 3 pounds will plant an acre. A light, warm, rich soil is essential for this crop. When all danger from frost is over plant the seed 1 to 2 inches deep in hills 4 feet apart each way, using 6 to 8 seeds in the hill. After all danger of destruction by bugs is over, thin out to 3 plants to a hill; when about 1 foot long pinch off the tips to make them branch. This strengthens the growth of the vines, and makes the fruit mature early. Muskmelons mature in 120 to 140 days.

Watermelon

One ounce will plant 25 hills; 3 to 4 pounds will plant an acre. The culture of watermelons differs from that of muskmelons mainly in that the hills should be wider apart, from 8 to 10 feet, according to the variety grown. An effort should be made to secure good strong vines early in the season, and this can best be done by taking care that the hills are large, mellow, and well drained, with the manure placed so that they will not dry out quickly under hot suns. Plant the seeds thickly when danger of fro'T is over and thin the plants to four of the strongest in each hill. All possible protection from insects should be given the young plants, and their growth may be still further hastened by frequent application of liquid manure. They mature in 120 to 140 days. As a protection from insects, netting is frequently used.

Onion

The best onions are grown on low, sandy, or mucky lands, with natural moisture, and plenty of it. Higher lands can be used if irrigated, providing the land is rich and very well worked before planting the seed. Onions do not follow a hay or grain crop to good advantage, since the soil lacks nitrogen and humus. A piece of land contemplated for onions should be planted to beans, peas, or some other vegetable crop one or two years.

On high lands the seed should be sown in December or early in January, while on low lands any time from February 1st to March 10th will do, depending on the condition of the weather. Sow in rows from 12 to 16 inches apart, using 4 to 5 pounds of seed for an acre. In irrigating onions, it is important that the land never be allowed to get dry, for a check in the growth will either force the plant to run to seed or will make stiff necks. In the home garden plant early in rows, 1 foot apart and thin to 4 inches apart in the row. Sow seed % inch deep, using one ounce to 200 feet of row. Onions mature in about 150 days.

Onion Sets

For sets, sow the seeds as early as possible in the spring, very thickly, in drills. As soon as the tops die off in summer remove them to a dry airy place; and early in the following spring replant by placing the sets in shallow drills, 12 inches apart, and about 4 inches apart in the drills; the onions, by this process, are obtained of a large size early in the season. They may also be grown to full size during the first season by sowing thinly in drills 1 foot apart, and about % inch deep, in March or early in April, in well-manured land, and thinning them out to stand 3 or 4 inches apart in the drills. They thrive in a strong, rich, deep, loamy soil, and succeed well if grown successive years on the same ground.

Okra or Gumbo

This vegetable is extensively grown for its green pods, which are used in soups, stews, etc., and mature in about 75 days. Sow the seed thickly in rich ground about the middle of May, or when the ground has become warm, until June, in drills 3 feet apart, 1 inch deep; thin to 18 inches apart in the drills.

Parsley

Used for garnishing and seasoning soups, meats, etc. Succeeds best in a mellow, rich soil. Sow thickly at any season in rows 1 foot apart and % inch deep; thin out the plants to stand 6 inches apart in the rows. The seed is slow of germination, taking from three to four weeks to make its appearance, and often failing to come up in dry weather. To assist its coming up quicker, soak the seed a few hours in warm water, or sprout in damp earth, and sow when it swells or bursts. One ounce will sow 400 feet of row; 3 pounds will plant an acre.

Garden Peas

A light, moderately rich soil is best for peas. For early peas sow in the fall, and for successive crops plant until July. Plant the dwarf varieties in single or double rows 18 inches apart and about 2 inches apart in the row. The tall sorts should be planted in rows 3 feet apart. Sow the seed 2 to 3 inches deep, and in dry weather soak the seeds for 5 or 6 hours in water before planting. One pound will sow 60 feet of row, and 60 to 120 pounds will plant an acre. Peas mature in 8 to 12 weeks. i

Pepper

Peppers are indispensable as a seasoning for soups and meats. The large varieties are mainly used for this purpose and for pickling. The mild, sweet varieties, like Sweet Mountain and Bell, are used for mangoes, while the small-fruited sorts are the best for sauces. They mature in 140 to 150 days. Sow *4 inch deep in hotbeds in February or March, and, when danger from frost is over, transplant in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches in row, in good rich ground.

Parsnips

One ounce will sow 200 feet of drill; 3 pounds will plant an acre. This crop requires a very rich soil. Sow from March to June in drills 18 inches apart and % inch deep, and thin to 8 inches in the row. Besides being desirable as a vegetable, they are valuable for feeding stock, and mature in 125 days.

Pumpkin

One ounce will plant 40 hills; 5 pounds will plant an acre. Plant after all danger of frost is over, until June, in hills 6 to 8 feet apart each way, covering seed 1 to 2 inches deep, allowing 3 strong plants to a hill. In other respects they are cultivated as melons and cucumbers; keep separate from melons and cucumbers, as they are liable to mix. Pumpkins mature in about 100 days.

Potatoes

The soil best suited to the potato is a rich, sandy loam, but it seems to thrive in almost any soil or climate. The potato, being a gross feeder, requires a liberal application of manure or bone meal; if stable manure is to be used, it should be well rotted, and not allowed to come in contact with the tubers. Use at the rate of 500 to 600 pounds to the acre. Plant as early in the spring as the ground can be thoroughly worked, in rows 3 feet apart and 1 foot in the rows; covering in light warm soil about 6 inches, and in heavy soil about 4 inches deep; draw the earth to the plants as they advance in growth. Five pounds will plant 100 feet of row. Cut the tubers up so that there are two eyes or sprouts to each piece; they are some- times cut up the night before planting so as to allow the cut portion to get calloused.

Radish

Radishes thrive best in a light, rich, mellow soil, and to bring out their mild qualities they must make a quick and tender growth. Sow early in spring and well into summer for succession, in well-manured, deeply- dug and finely raked soil; if not well stimulated into a rapid growth, they become fibrous and tough; sow in drills 10 inches apart and % inch deep, and thin to 2 inches in the rows. Sow at intervals of two or three weeks until September for a succession. They mature in 25 to 40 days. Sow winter varieties in July and August; like the turnip, they make the best growth in autumn, and must be taken out before severe frost, and stored awa y in a cool cellar in sand, where they will keep tender and crisp all winter; before using put in cold water, which adds to the freshness. One ounce will sow 100 feet of row, 10 pounds will plant an acre.

Rhubarb

Sow in drills % inch deep; thin out to 6 inches apart. In fall, trench a piece of ground and manure it well and then transplant the young plants into it 3 feet apart each way. Cover with leaves or litter the first winter, and a dressing of manure should be given every fall. It is better to plant strong roots as they will produce next spring. One ounce will sow 200 feet of row.

Salsify or Oyster Plant

One ounce will sow 100 feet of row; 8 pounds will plant an acre. The soil should be rich and well worked to a depth of at least 18 inches. Sow in drills 15 inches apart, covering the seeds with fine soil % inch in depth. When the plants are strong enough, thin them out to about 3 inches apart. The seed may be sown from February to May and will mature in 150 days.

Spinach

One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 8 pounds for an acre. Select very rich, well-drained soil, sow in drills 1 foot apart and % inch deep. For spring and summer use make the first sowing early in spring and continue at intervals for two or three weeks, until the middle of June; sow in August and September for winter and early spring use; will mature in about 45 days.

Squash

Squash should be planted in a warm, rich soil, after the weather has become settled and warm, about the beginning of May or June. Plant in well-manured hills, in the same manner as cucumbers or melons — the bush varieties 3 or 4 feet apart each way, and the running kinds from 6 to 8 feet. Eight to 10 seeds should be sown, 1 to 2 inches deep, in each hill, thinning out after they have attained their rough leaves and danger from bugs is over, leaving 3 or 4 of the strongest plants per hill. An occasional feeding of liquid manure will repay in size of fruits". One ounce will plant 50 hills. Four to six pounds is required to an acre for the bush varieties, and 3 to 4 pounds of the running varieties. Summer sorts mature in 65 days and the winter sorts in 150 days.

Tomato

For early plants sow in hotbeds early in March or April, in drills 5 inches apart and % inch deep; when the plants are about 2 inches high, transplant into another hotbed 4 inches apart each way; plant out in the open ground early in May, or as soon as danger from frost is over, 4 feet apart each way in hills, which should have a shovelful of well-rotted manure mixed with the soil. Water freely at time of transplanting; when the first fruit is set, pinch off the ends of the branches to obtain early fruit. Sufficient plants for a small garden can be grown in a shallow box by placing it in a sunny window in a warm room. For late use- sow in a sheltered border in May, and set out the plants in July; the green fruit can be picked off before frost and ripened under glass. By training the vines on trellises or tying to stakes, the fruit will ripen better and be of finer quality. The fruit matures in 150 days.

Turnip

For early use, sow in January and February, in drills from 12 to 15 inches apart, covering the seed % inch deep; thin out to 3 or 4 inches in the rows. For succession, continue to sow every two weeks until June; for fall and winter crop, sow in July and August. The Ruta Bagas are grown for feeding stock and are also excellent for the table. Take up the roots in November, or before severe frosts; cut off tops within an inch of the crown, store in cool cellar or pit. One ounce will sow 200 feet of row; 3 to 4 pounds will plant an acre; they mature in 60 to 70 days.

Mushroom Spawn

CULTURAL DIRECTIONS

Ten pounds will spawn about 10 feet square. Mushrooms can be grown in any dark room or cellar where the temperature can be kept at from 50 to 70 degrees. From some old pasture procure good, rich soil, and to every bushel of this soil add 2 bushels of fresh horse manure. Of this well-mixed compound prepare a bed, say 4 feet wide. Put down a thin layer and pound it down hard, and go on until you have a bed 12 or 18 inches thick. As soon as the temperature of the bed falls from 75 to 50 degrees, the spawn may be inserted in pieces about the size of a wmlnut about 2 inches deep and 6 inches apart. Cover with loamy soil about 2 inches deep and beat it down evenly and firmly. Finish off with a covering of clean hay, about a foot thick, and the work is done. If the temperature is right, in 6 or 8 weeks you may expect mushrooms. The .beds will continue bearing from 20 to 30 days.

After the first crop is gathered spread over the bed an inch of fresh soil, moisten with warm water, and cover with hay as before. The main conditions in mushroom growing are proper and uniform temperature and very rich soil.

Jackson’s Spawn — Selected high-grade spawn, per brick, 35c; 7 bricks, $2.25; 14 bricks, $4.25. If ordered by

Alfalfa (Medicago Sativa) — Also known as Lucerne and Chili Clover. One of the most valuable forage or pasture grasses, being very nutritious, both as a green feed and as hay. It requires moist land or frequent irrigation, and often bears from 5 to 6 crops of hay a year. It does well in almost any climate, and improves any soil that is sown with it. A good stand of it will choke out and practically kill wild morning-glory. Prepare the land by deep plowing and thorough harrowing, and sow 17 to 25 pounds per acre broadcast and harrow in. It is best to sow in the Fall after the first rains, but it may also be sown in the Spring. 1 lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.00. Prices on larger quantities on application.

Alfilaria (Erodlum cicutarium) — One of the most nutri- tious of fodder plants and well liked by cattle and horses. Alfilaria will thrive and make a good pasture on dry hillsides. May be found on Mt. Tamalpais as a pasture. Sow 20 pounds per acre. Per lb., 65c.

Australian Salt Bush (Atrlplex semi-baccatum) — Will grow on alkaline soils. Much relished by stock, sup- plying the necessary salt. One pound of seed to the acre if sown broadcast; four ounces if transplanted. In cutting fodder be careful not to injure the crown of the plants. Lb., 65c.

Alsike, or Swedish Clover (Trifolium Hybridum) — A per- ennial variety; sometimes preferred to Red Clover, as it is generally finer and makes better hay for horses. The blossoms are also valuable for bees. Alsike succeeds on wet, cold and stiff soils. When used alone, sow 8 to 10 pounds per acre. Lb., 30c; 10 lbs., $2.20; larger quantities on application.

Awnless Brome Grass (Bromus Inermls) — Will stand droughts and produce heavy crops in dry sections and on poor soils where other grasses perish. It is one of the hardiest of grasses and succeeds on our dry hillsides. Sow 35 pounds per acre. Lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.20.

Bermuda Grass (Cynodon Dactylon) — Dwarf with creep- ing stems, which root at the joints, making it a difficult grass to eradicate. Makes a mat which will stand any amount of tramping or heat. Valuable for pasturage for dry stock, and for binding steep em- bankments, and for lawns around Sacramento. The seed requires 15 days of hot moist weather to start it. Sow 10 pounds per acre. Lb., 50c; 10 lbs., $4.50.

Buckwheat (Japanese) — The best and most profitable variety. Is also excellent for bee pasture. Lb., 10c.

Burr Clover (Medicago Denticulata) — The native forage plant of California. Of the easiest culture, growing all Winter and well into Summer. We offer only “Hulled seed,” which is much easier to sow than in the burr. Sow from August to October, using 15 to 20 pounds of hulled seed per acre. Lb., 20c; 10 lbs., $1.40.

Canary — The seed is used for bird food. Is valuable also as an ornamental grass and has considerable merit as hay for feeding cattle. Lb., 15c.

Canada Field Peas — A strong, vigorous pea, often planted for green manure to plow under in the Spring. Makes an excellent Winter growth when sown in Fall; very useful for fodder. Sow 100 to 150 pounds per acre broadcast. Lb., 10c; larger quantities on application

Cow Peas (Black Eye) — Used largely for green manure. It is also valuable if allowed to mature the seed, when the dry vines can be plowed under and the seed used to grind as feed for stock. If for green manure, sow broadcast, using 80 pounds per acre. If for seed or fodder, sow in rows 3 feet apart, using 40 pounds per acre. Sow late in Spring. Lb., 10c.

Creeping Bent Grass (Agrostis Stolonifera) — Being of fine texture this grass is most valuable for lawns and ideal for putting greens. It is of rapid growth and spreading habit and makes a strong enduring turf. Sow 40 pounds per acre. Lb., 45c; 10 lbs., $3.80.

Makes a close, lasting turf on dry, sandy soils, and can be used to bind dry banks. Also an excellent bottom grass for moist mixture. Sow 30 pounds per acre. Lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.00.

Red Top (Agrostis Vulgaris) — Herd’s grass. Second only to Timothy as hay grass and better if the ground is to be pastured afterward, for Red Top makes one of the best permanent pastures. Succeeds on all soils, though doing best on moist or even swampy land. A permanent grass and valuable as a lawn grass, giving quick effect. In Chaff, lb., 30c; 10 lbs., $2.20. Fancy Free from Chaff; sow 15 pounds per acre. Lb., 40c; 10 lbs., $3.70.

Rhode Island Bent Grass (Agrostis Canina) — Like Red Top, this grass accommodates itself to all soils. Especially valuable for lawns on sand at the sea- coast; from it the lawns at Newport are largely made. Is perennial, dwarf, and makes a beautiful fine, close turf. For lawn sow 50 pounds per acre. Lb., 45c; 10 lbs., $3.70.

Sheep’s Fescue (Festuea Ovina) — Short and dense in growth, excellent for sheep pastures, because it will thrive on poor, gravelly, shallow or hilly soils where other grasses fail. Not recommended for lawns under ordinary conditions because it bunches. Sow 35 pounds per acre. Lb., 30c; 10 lbs., $2.70.

Spring Vetches, or Tares (Vicia Sativa) — A plant re- sembling pea vines and valuable for forage or green manure. It is usually sown with oats or wheat to hold them up.

Sunflower (Large Russian) — A variety bearing large heads, frequently 12 to 20 inches in diameter and sometimes yielding 1000 pounds of seed per acre. The seed is used for feeding chickens and parrots. Sow in the open field as soon as danger from frost is over, using 3 pounds of seed per acre, sowing in rows 5 feet apart and thinning to 1 foot. Lb., 10c.

Timothy (Phleum Pratense) — It makes hay of the best quality and produces a larger crop on good soil than any other grass. Not adapted for pasture, as there is little growth after cutting and tramping of stock soon destroys it. Not a lawn grass and not adapted for dry soils; height 2 to 3 feet. Often sown with red top and red clover. Sow 15 to 20 pounds per acre. Lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.10.

Teosinte (Reana Luxuriant) — This plant grows quickly and produces a large quantity of forage in warm locations. It makes splendid dry fodder, yielding enormously, and being more nutritious and better relished by all stock than corn fodder. The seed should not be sown until all danger of frost is past. If cut for green forage, which can be done at any stage during growth, two or more joints should be left at the base of the stalk. These will sprout out quickly into fresh growth, making an even larger crop than at first cutting. Sow in drills 4 feet apart, using 4 pounds of seed to an acre. Oz., 15c; lb., 90c.

White Dutch (Trifolium Repens) — Dwarf, spreading vine- like variety, with white blossoms; used largely for bee pasture. It is also an excellent pasture plant for either sheep or cattle; also makes a beautiful lawn. Sow 10 pounds per acre. Lb., 60c; 10 lbs., $5.50.

How to Raise Flowers Successfully from Seed

Tender, or Greenhouse, means the plant will not stand the least frost. All such must be planted late in Spring (May) or in a greenhouse.

Half Hardy means the plant will stand any light frost, but needs protection against very cold weather. These should be planted in the Spring (March and April), not in the Fall.

Hardy means the plant will stand considerable frost, or practically all we have on the Pacific Coast. These may be planted in the Fall or in the Spring (October to May). If sown in the Fall they will come into bloom earlier than if sown in Spring, even if the plants do not make much progress during the cold weather.

AunnaU are plants that bloom the first year from seed, and the plant dies after one season. Tender annuals must be sown in Spring (April to June), and hardy annuals may be sown in either Spring or Fall (October to May).

Biennials are plants that bloom the second year from seed, and the plant dies after the second year. In Cali- fornia many of these will bloom the first year if sown early. Sow under same conditions as perennials.

Perennials are plants that bloom the second year from seed, and the plant lives and blooms during successive years. If sown in early Spring (February to March), many perennials will bloom the first year from seed. Tender and half-hardy perennials are best sown in Spring after frost is over (April 15th to June). Hardy peren- nials are best sown in the late Summer and early Fall (July to October) for next year’s flowers.

How to Sow Flower Seed — It is best in practically all instances except hardy annuals to start the seed in boxes, preferably a box about 18x24 inches and 4 inches deep, using very sandy soil with leaf mould that will not bake, and provide for drainage by boring some holes in the bottom of the box. Set the boxes in a warm, sheltered place, but protect from the direct light of the sun, as the seed is liable to be scorched up. It is best not to put any fertilizer in the seed-box, since it is only necessary to bring the plant to the third or fourth leaf, when they should be pricked out and reset in another box, in which the soil should be loam mixed with leaf-mould. It is im- portant that the plant be of good size, strong and sturdy, when finally transplanted to the garden.

If the seed be sown directly in the garden, it should be sown in the Spring after the soil is well worked and fertilized. A slight depression should be made with a stick, the seed sown, and then covered with sharp sand about twice the depth of the diameter of the seed. The sand will prevent the crusting over of the soil after watering.

When up, the plants must be thinned from 2 to 12 inches, depending on the variety, otherwise they will be weak and spindling. Always keep the weeds out.

A common mistake in sowing flowers, as well as other seeds, is covering too deep. As a general rule, cover only to the depth of the thickness of the seeds; or, with medium-sized seeds, like Balsams Zinnias, etc., half an inch or less is the proper depth. Such fine seeds as Por- tulacas Nicotiana, etc., need only to be pressed into the soil with a piece of board or the palm of the hand. Always press the earth down firmly after sowing all flower seeds, else there is danger of their drying up be- fore the roots can get firm hold of the soil. Seeds of the hardier annuals may be sown where they are to grow; but, as a rule, it is preferable to transplant, as the plants are generally stronger and stand the drought better. During very dry weather, and when the seedlings are first set out they should be watered frequently. Provide some support for all such annuals as require it.

The weeds should be kept down and the ground loosened often, so that the plants will receive the full benefit of the rains and dews, which they will not if the ground is allowed to become hard and baked. Water often.

Hot-Beds

Good hot-beds may be made by digging down about 3 feet and filling the excavation with rather fresh horse

manure in which there is a good deal of bedding straw. About 18 inches of this manure is sufficient and then fill

in on top of it with about 1 foot of good soil mixed with sand. This manure pile will be compressed, and will soon begin to ferment, and will then keep the top soil warm and cause the seed to sprout quickly, and the

young plant will grow very fast. It is best to enclose the hot-bed with boards, making what is called a cold-

frame; this is done by running the length of the bed east and west and by making the north side about 2 feet high and the south side not more than 6 inches. The ends also should be enclosed and a sash of glass should be

hung on hinges at the highest end. This sash should be raised for ventilation during most of the day, since the

bed gets very warm and the atmosphere very close if kept too tightly closed for too long a time. As the plants •grow, the sash should be left up longer each day to harden them and prepare them for final transplanting.

The hot-bed should have a very sunny location near a hedge or some building, well protected from the prevailing wind.

The object of the cold frame is to make an artificial heat, and to protect the plants from frost during Winter. Seed may be started any time during the Winter, and plants can be ready to set out just as soon as danger of

frost is over. As the sun gets too hot it is necessary to shade the bed, and the glass should be whitewashed or

covered with sacking if necessary. Too much heat is fatal to the tender, young plants.

It is seldom necessary to thin the young plants, as they will bear standing close together.

Nasturtiums prefer dry, rather rocky soil, such as we usually call “poor” soil, and bear their flowers in such locations in greater profusion than in a rich gar- den, where they run too much to leaves. This adds to their value for planting over many unsightly places.

Hallawell’s Quality Pansies

Pansy — HallaweM's Prize Strain

Pansies thrive best in a partially shaded location, and in a loose soil, well enriched with decayed manure, which should be well dug into the soil. Seed should he sown in the Fall for early Spring blooming and early in the year until May for good flow- ers later in the Spring and Summer. The seed should be sown in boxes, covering them not more than four times their diameter and Arming the soil well above them. Do not allow the seed to dry out. The plants must be trans- planted twice in order to get the largest Aowers; once from the seed box to a sheltered bed and again to the open ground. For best results you must start a good strain. The Anest pansies are, as a rule, shy seeders, which accounts for the difference in price of the various mixtures offered.

Poppies

Annual Poppies should be sown in the Fall or as early in the Spring as possible where they are to remain, as they do not stand transplanting. Sow very thinly, preferably in cloudy weather or after a shower, barely cover the seed, press down firmly, and they will come up in a few days. If they come up too thickly they must be thinned out to stand 3 to 4 inches or more apart if you wish best results. It is well to make several sowings at intervals to keep up a suc- cession of bloom. If picked just before expanding the flowers will last several days. It is also advisable to pick the old flowers as soon as fallen, which will lengthen the blooming season quite awhile.

PLANTING

December, January, February, and March are the best months, but should the season be favorable, and with a little extra care, you can still plant during the early part of April. The plants sent during those months are what we call dormant two-year-old plants, and average from 1% feet to 2% feet in height, and are taken up with- out soil around the roots, and are packed in damp moss. Should the purchaser be unable to plant them immediately, they will take no harm to remain in the packing for a few days, or they can be opened up and “heeled” in the ground until ready to set out. The bushes sent out' are already pruned. Our plants are budded on the Baltimore Belle and Manetti stocks; by so doing we get a strong root for the rose; our “stocks” are always disbudded but it sometimes happens that a sucker may grow from the root; planters should be careful to keep all suckers (if any) from below the bud, cut away, otherwise the stock outgrows the rosebud itself.

Roses give the best results when planted in a fairly sunny location and in a good heavy sediment soil, to which may be added some good old stable manure, but remember that it ought to be well decayed. Under no circumstances use FRESH or new manure. After the hole is about three-quarters filled with soil, give some water to settle the earth around the roots; then put the remaining soil into the hole. This is usually enough water to give during the Winter, provided we have not a long, dry period; in that case, the plants should get another watering at regular intervals. They will commence to bloom the first season after planting, in May and June, and if properly treated will give an abundance of flowers the first season. After the blooms are past, we advise you to cut the old flowers off; this treatment' induces them to make new growth, from which you will obtain your next crop. To aid them at that time, keen them freely watered, and by so doing you can have flowers away into December.

Pruning

A few remarks on this important point are necessary. This should be done during the months of December, January and February; at that time the bushes are in a dormant condition. The “Teas,” or Ever-Blooming Varieties, require to be more severely pruned than any other sort, as they are the strongest growers. Cut back to about 6 or 7 inches from the old wood, thinning out all the weak wood and leaving about 5 or 6 shoots, according to size of plant. The idea is not to leave too much wood on the plant. If you follow this method you will have large roses with long stems. If you fail in pruning and thinning out, you will have a plethora of small blooms.

The Hybrid Teas should have almost as much pruning done to them as to the Teas.

Hybrid Perpetual sorts, not being such strong growers nor making so much wood as the preceding, do not require so much pruning done to them.

Noisette or Champney varieties, being all climbers and strong, rampant growers, are not usually pruned as their duties are to cover certain objects. They should, however, be periodically thinned out.

Bourbon sorts should be pruned according to the growth they have made.

Moss Roses require very little pruning, as they usually make only a few shoots in a season.

Diseases

Mildew — When your plants become covered with a whitish-looking mould or dust, the disease is Mildew. Unless a very severe attack, it will probably not kill them, but retard their growth. It is caused by sudden atmospheric changes, and is generally worse in the Spring when the nights are cold and the days are warm. Some varieties are more susceptible to this than others. For mild attacks use Grape Dust or Atomic Sulphur and for severer cases use Bordeaux Mixture.

Aphis, or Green Fly, is a small green louse, appearing on the young, tender shoots and buds. They are very prolific in breeding. Through their tender beak they suck the juices of the plants, always working at the tender shoots, and will in a short time, if unmolested, destroy the vigor and vitality of any plant they infest. Remedies: Tobacco in any form is fatal to them; sprinkle powdered tobacco on the bushes. The best time to do this is in the morning when there is moisture on the foliage. Nicotine solution when diluted and used with a sprayer is very effective.

Dahlias

While the Dahlia is one of the easiest of all flowers to cultivate, it by no means follows that it requires no attention. In fact, no flower that we have ever cultivated will give such a generous response to good

cultivation as the Dahlia. Deep and thorough stirring of the soil during the early growth of the plant is

indispensable to success. With poor cultivation or neglect, the flower will rapidly degenerate — becoming semi- double and faded in color. The Dahlia, with but few exceptions, should be given an open, sunny situation for at least a portion of each day. It is a rank feeder and should be given rich soil and kept free from weeds. We are in favor of taking up the roots every year, as soon as the tops are cut down by frost, and laying away in sawdust or in a dry place. Plant them out again in May or they can be planted as late as the end of June, setting the bulbs about 3 inches deep. We strongly advise our customers not to be in a hurry about setting the Dahlia out, as it is essentially a Fall flower, and when planted early they bloom in the hot Summer months, and the flowers are very inferior, and at that season they are generally infected with an insect called “Diabrotica,” resembling a lady bug, which does much damage to the flower of the Dahlia. This insect disappears later on; hence our reasons for advising late planting. So many of our cus- tomers have been disappointed in this respect just through early planting. Continuing with our remarks about cultivating — as soon as the plants are about 2 feet high, they should be staked, care being taken that the stake

is driven far enough away from the root, so that it may not be injured. Mulch heavily with old, well-

rotted manure, and give the plants a thorough soaking once in ten days or two weeks. Frequent syringing adds greatly to the health and vigor of the plant. Disbudding, or picking off some of the flower buds and leaving only a few on one bush adds greatly to the size of the bloom. Dahlias can be set out from two kinds of roots, viz; Dry Roots and Green Pot Plants. The former can be obtained as soon as we dig them, in December, but preferably in February, as we can tell whether there are “eyes” on the bulbs or not, and can be kept in sawdust, as above described, till plant- ing time. It is better to order early or when you are getting your other stock.

Green Pot Plants will be ready for delivery dur- ing May; they are grown in pots and raised from a cutting. These green plants will be all bloom the first season after planting, and at the same time they are forming a bulb, which will do for planting out next season. The Dahlia keeps on multiplying year after year.

Gladiolus

The culture of the Gladiolus is of the easiest. Set the bulbs about 3 inches deep and 7 or 8 inches apart each way. Any good garden soil will make strong plants and good bloom, hut for the finest re- sults use manure and plenty of water. After the flowers are past, dig the bulbs up and dry them under cover in the open air for a month and then store in dry soil till next Winter, when .they may be reset. From January to April are the months in which to plant Gladioli, but for a succession of flowers they may be started to the middle of June. Gladioli do well in San Francisco, standing against the cold Summer winds and blossoming most freely for weeks. (If wanted by mail, add postage at zone rates. 1 dozen weigh 1% lbs., 100 weigh 9 lbs.

Special Notice to Purchasers

While we aim to have all our fruit trees to name, and hold ourselves ready, on proper proof, to replace, free of charge, all stock that may prove untrue to label, or to refund amount originally paid by the customer, it is mutually understood and agreed between the purchaser and ourselves that our guarantee of genuineness shall not make us liable for any sum greater than that originally paid us for such stock as may prove untrue.

Planting and Pruning Fruit Trees

PLANTING — Successful planters always dig good large holes for the roots. A little extra labor at this time will be amply repaid in the more rapid growth of the tree, and should the ground be at all heavy or sandy, add some old well-decayed manure. After the tree is set in the hole properly, commence to throw in the soil gently, and see that it is well pulverized, and work all in around the roots well. After the hole is half filled up, press down gently with the foot; then fill in the remainder, also going through the same process, leaving the last spadeful or two untrodden. Never, especially in soils that are apt to run together, or adobe, try to plant when the ground is wet. Wait until the ground dries; otherwise your trees will not grow so well.

Planting can be done from December to March, according to the season, but orders should be placed early with us, so as to obtain desired selections.

Frequent cultivating is necessary, as there is no better way of keeping the moisture near the surface.

PRUNING — All fruit trees must be pruned after setting out, so as to shape them from their infancy, and this kept up each year. All of the long branches should be cut off, and where there are too many side branches thin out to a few of the strongest; when the tree has only one growth, cut back to 2% or three feet from the ground. Walnuts and Figs require no pruning when set out.

Some attention should also be given to the roots, these should be cut away and when any of the roots

Himalaya Giant Blackberry

Blackberries

Plant in good soil, in rows 5 to 6 feet apart, and 3 to 4 feet apart in the row. After the fruiting sea- son, or in early Spring, cut out all the dead wood. Blackberries should be planted early, before the buds start. A good top dressing of stable manure, applied annually, will be conducive to large crops. Keep the ground clean.

Himalaya Giant — A late Blackberry coming after the other berries are gone, ripening over a period of several weeks, making it especially desirable for family use. Like the Loganberry, it must be grown on a trellis — the vines under favorable conditions growing 15 to 20 feet. The berries grow in bunches; are of excellent flavor and the yield sur- passes any berry ever introduced. One-year-old plants, each 15c; per 10, $1.00.

Mammoth Blackberry (Named by some “The Black Loganberry”) — The fruit is enormously large, some specimens measuring from 2% to 2% inches long. It is advisable in planting the Mammoth Blackberry plants that they be given plenty of room. If grown upon a trellis, which is by far the best way, the rows should be not less than 9 feet apart and the plants 6 to 8 feet in the rows. One-year-old plants, each 15c; per 10, $1.00.

Lawton — Large roundish black fruit, very productive and sweet; ripens late. 60c per 10.

The Loganberry (Raspberry-Blackberry) — The fruit is as large as the largest-sized blackberry; is of the same shape, with globules similar to that fruit. Color, when fully ripe, a dark, rich red. It par- takes of both flavors of the raspberry and black- berry, being a combination of the two mixed; a very pleasant, mild, vinous flavor. It is excellent for 'the table, eaten fresh or cooked, and for jellies or jams without an equal. The vines are enormous bearers. One-year-old plants, each 15c; per 10, $1.00.

The Phenomenal Berry — Originated by Burbank; berries very large, of a bright crimson raspberry color; very productive. Each, 15c; per 10, $1.00.

Currants

Currants and Gooseberries should be planted in good soil, which must be kept rich and well worked. Trim out the old wood as soon as it begins to decline, and shorten all the young shoots, to keep the bushes in good shape. Sprinkle ashes around the roots occasion- ally to keep the borers away.

Strawberries

To cultivate the Strawberry for family use we rec- ommend planting in beds 4 feet wide, with an alley 2 feet wide between the beds. These beds will ac- commodate 3 rows of plants, which may stand 15 inches apart each way, and the outside row 9 inches from the alley. The beds can be kept clean easier and the fruit gathered without setting feet upon them. The ground should be well prepared by digging at least 10 or 12 inches deep, and be enriched with well rotted manure, ground bone, or any other good fertilizer. The earlier they are planted in the season the better crop you will have the first season.

New Oregon Improved — One of the finest and most sat- isfactory strawberries ever introduced. A vigorous grower and adapted to all soils and locations. Berry is very large and firm, of a rich dark red color which extends to the center. The flavor is sweet and delicious. It ripens very early and con- tinues in bearing until late in the season. (Weight per dozen, 1% lbs.; per 100, 8 lbs.) 25c per dozen; $1.50 per 100.
