The REUTBR=OUARANTBE

I CAREFULLY TEST all of my seeds before sending them out. Every lot of seeds must show a rigid germ-
Inatlon'jest, both In the soil and artificially, before it is sold. I believe that KNOWING the quality of my stock Is
Just as Important as SELLING them, and no expense or effort Is ever spared to furnish my customers with seeds of
UNQUESTIONED PURITY AND RELIABILITY.

i CANNOT AFFORD to knowingly sell seeds doubtful as to the quality and purity, as the bulk of my local
sales are made to gardeners whose products I handle the season through.

I WILL REFUND to you the full price paid for any seed purchased from me should fhey prove defective in
germination or purity when properly planted and cultivated. Of course, I cannot warrant the crop, because it is
dependent on many conditions that are beyond my control. No honest seedsman can do more, and I am only able to
make this guarantee because I know that there are no better seeds In the world than REUTER'S PEERLESS SEEDS.

ORDER EARLY — It will greatly facilitate shipments If orders
are sent In early. We aim to ship all orders the same day they
are recelTed, but sometimes It is Impossible during the rush sea-
son. You may order your seeds whenever you desire, and we
will reserve the stocks for you and ship whenever you are
ready to sow. This will Insure delivery from our full stocks.

ORDERS PROM NEW CUSTOMERS. — Persons unknown to
us, to avoid delay, will please send remittance or satisfactory city
reference with their orders.

CASH WITH ORDER — Customers will please remit when or-
dering. If goods are wanted C. O. D„ twenty-five per cent, or
one-fourth of the amount, must accompany the order.

HOW TO SEND MONEY. — Remittances should be made by Post
Office Money Orders, Express Money Orders, Drafts or Checks on
New Orleans or New York. Where It Is not possible to obtain
these, the letter should be registered. Postage Stamps will be
found convenient for remitting small amounts, and can be used
to advantage. Coin should not be sent by mail,

HOW TO ORDER. — .Please be careful to sign your name. Post
Office. Rural Route, and State on every order. Be sure to tell us
your nearest express office, should you desire the seeds forwarded
by express; or. If by freight, your railroad station: or, if by boat,
your landing.

baskets, barrels or bags. We rnake no charge for cartage or de-
livery to any railroad station, or express office in New Orleans.

FREE POSTAGE OR EXPRESS CHARGES. — Packets, ounces

are wanted by mall or express, prepaid, customers are requested
to remit eight cents per pound and fifteen cents per quart extra.
When not ordered by mall or express, prepaid, as above directed,
we ship by express or freight at buyers’ expense.

LARGE ORDERS.^Any Market Gardener, Association, or indi-
vidual requiring large quantities of seeds, are Invited to write
for special prices. Although we have made our prices In this
catalogue very low. yet when a considerable quantity In pounds
or bushels are wanted, we are frequently In position to supply at
a lower price than by the single pound or bushel. We wish It to
be distinctly understood, however, that we will not sacrifice qual-
ity In so doing. Mall us a list of your wants, and we will submit
to you our lowest cash price for the lot.

All offers and quotations are made for Immediate acceptance:
prices subject to change without notice and being unsold on re-
ceipt of order.

SAFE ARRIVAL OF SEEDS.— I guarantee that all seeds sold
shall reach my customers in good condition. I earnestly urge my
friends to notify me promptly on the arrival of their order if
anything proves otherwise than expected. I want to make good
friends of all my customers, and want you to know that mall
orders receive the very same careful attention that customers
do over my counters. Of course, my clerks will make errors, as
they are but human. When mistakes do occur, I am always
anxious to rectify and make good.

MY PRICES.— My prices will compare favorably with any
responsible firm in this country. Better seeds cannot be bought
at any price, and I advise you to beware of seeds offered cheaper.

I guarantee every seed I sell to grow and give satisfaction.

PALL CATALOGUE. — My fall catalogue will be ready about
July 1st. It Is brimful of seasonable seeds to plant during the
summer and autumn months. It will mean a saving to you when
you are ready to buy your Onion Seed, Cabbage, Oats, Rye, Bar-
ley, etc. Don’t fall to write for a copy If you do not receive one.

ORDERS WITHOUT NAME OR ADDRESS. — Every year I
get hundreds of orders from my customers unsigned. I have at
present on my files more than eight hundred orders for various
amounts, which I am unable to send out, as I don’t know where
to forward them. Every day or so I get a long letter of com-
plaint from some customer, upbraiding me for not sending his
seeds promptly. Then I get real busy with this file and endeavor
to locate the order. Often it is a hard proposition. So, if you
do not hear from me within a reasonable length of time after
you mail your order, send me a duplicate order, naming the
date on which the former order was sent, the amount of money
enclosed, and in what form. I want to satisfy you and don’t
want you to complain about my service — if I can help It. i

BUREAU SERVICE BULLETINS.— I am writing from time
to time some mighty valuable booklets about special crops, such /
as Alfalfa. Lespedeza, Oats. Onions. Cabbage, etc. It is quite i
impossible for me to include all of this information in my cata-/,
logue, so if you are interested in any crops. I will gladly accom/'
modate you with full information regarding same, If It is Include
in my list of bulletins: otherwise, I will answer your lett/
personally through my Service Bureau — the cost is nothing
you.

FREE SAMPLES. — I am always too glad to send you free
samples of Corn, Grass Seed. Garden Seeds, etc., for testing pur-
poses. You are not imposing on my good nature when you ask i
me to send you these samples, for I know the quality of the I
sample will bring me your big order. f

NON-WARRANTY. — While we exercise the greatest care to
have all Seeds PURE and RELIABLE, we do not give any warranty
expressed or Implied. If the purchaser does not accept the Seeds’
on these terms and conditions, they must be returned at once,
and the money that has been paid will be refunded.

Complaints S'ometimes made that seeds are not good, may
quite as often be attributed to other causes as to the quality of
the seeds. There are hundreds of contingencies continually aris-
ing to prevent the best seeds always giving satisfaction, such as
sowing too deep, in tO'O wet or dry soil, Ipsects of all descrip-
tions destroying the plant as soon as It appears, wet weather
frost, etc.

DON’T FAIL to occasionally send us the names and addresses
of your neighbors who appreciate the vital Importance of planting
High-Grade Seeds.

AND REMEMBER OUR FREE SERVICE BUREAU.

S

m FREE SERVICE BUREAU^’HOW TO USE IT

une year ao I announced in iny Annual Catalogue the inauguration of a FREE SERVICE BUREAU for tlie benefit of Soutliei ti
farmers and gardeners and invited everybody to use it whetlier customers of mine or not. I thought at that time that such a sein ice
was needed and was hopeful that I might, in some measure, be the means of correcting some errors, fitting some round pegs into
round holes that had theretofore been vainly trying to make good in a square hole, and in one way or another place the vast stc. re-
house of knowledge and experience that I have been gathering for thirty-five years into places where it would be useful, pract tul
and welcome.

But I'll be blessed if I thought at that time that this innovation in supplying Free Service to farmers and gardeners would be
such a whale of a success as it has proved to be! Why, 1 had to buy still another typewriter and hire another stenographer to help
in answering the requests for information and advice that poured into my office. And the more letters that came the better
pleased I was, for if there is anything I do enjoy and get real pleasure out of, it is to help, even a wee bit, to make some other
fellow's work easier, happier or more prosperous. And the letters that I have received thanking me for the information I have
supplied through this FREE SERVICE BUREAU have repaid me many, many times for the money it has cost me.

Have you used this FREE SERVICE BUREAU? Have you asked me to assit you in solving some of your most perplexing prob-
lems of your farm and garden work? If you haven’t any problems to solve and everything is going along nicely with you, I am glad
and I congratulate you. But if you strike a snag now and then and you’ll put the matter up to me, through this FREE SERVJCE
BUREAU, perhaps I can help you a lot. If I don’t, it won’t be because I don’t try! I’ve helped a lot of Southern planters during the
past year, and I hope to have the pleasure of aiding a lot more during the coming twelve months.

Now. so there will be no misunderstanding between us, let me repeat right here what I said one year ago, when I startd this
FREE ^RVICE BUREAU: This service doesn’t cost you one red cent — now, nor any other time. And the money that it costs me

to run it isn’t tacked on to the price of my seeds, either. It doesn’t make any difference whether you are a customer of mine or )iot,
you are welcome to this Free Service, and if tnere is any information this Bureau can give you that you want or need. I’ll thank
vou to give me the opportunity to supply it.

I've put in thirty-five years of my life in farming, gardening, marketing, etc. I have made some money out of it and have lost
some, too. But in that time I’ve had a wide and varied experience, have observed a lot, and I haven’t failed to store away some of that
experience and observation. I've trained every one of my four boys in this business of mine, and I don’t mind admitting that t ley
are indeed bright boys! For years I’ve kept in touch with our experiment stations, test farms, laboratories and United States Gov-
ernment experts, and the practical things of scientific farming have come into my office as steel filings go to the magnet. Much
that is visionary and impractical and some that is downright fakery, has come to me, too, but I haven’t worked with the soil, seed
and elements for thirty-five years for nothing, and the good, solid, practical sense and information is separated from all this freakish
chaff and the good is stored away for future reference and application, to be sent out through this FREE SERVICE BUREAU to
farmers who can use it to make more money, make it easier and I: a happier.

This FREE SERVICE BUREAU can also benefit you by giving you, upon request, correct freight and express rates. It tvill
give you the best rate possible on seed to your station, giving you the benefit of every saving. This Bureau will take up your case
with the railroad or express company any time that you are overcharged, and will offer its servcies in obtaining a refund for you.
This is also FREE and is solely for your benefit. iBSilWfie u

Well, I have said a lot more abbut this FREE SERVICE BUREAU than I intended to say when I started to write, but wnen I get
enthusiastic on a proposition and get a lot of pleasure out of something and find that others seem to appreciate your good moti^'es,
why I never know when to stop. As a parting word I invite you to put up your questions and problems to this Bureau. I’ll do my
level best to give you the best Information we’ve got in the shopor that it is possible for us 'to obtain. Come on with your
questions! CHRIS.

BEST SPRAYING METHODS FOR THE VEGETABLE GARDEN.

My farmer friends in the Southern States are realizing more and more that spraying is absolutely necessary. In sections where
truck crops are grown to any great extent. Insect enemies and fungous diseases are more apt to cause great losses to the truckers,
by damage done to the crops: it is therefore absolutley essential that the trucker use some poison to combat these enemies.

In believe in spraying, because I have tried it on my own seed farms, and have induced hundreds of the truckers in my sec .ion
to 40 the same thing. I know that It Is a necessity. I speak from experience, not from theory. It is one of the secrets of
successful gardening. It is just as important to spray properly as it is to buy good seeds.

Don’t wait until the plants are half dead from the ravages of the disease before you begin to think of spraying. It will then
be too late. Begin now to learn how to use a spray and how to make your mixtures at home. Get a thorough understanding of the
best methods of mixing and the proper time to spray. ^ ^

Rotation of Crops is of the utmost importance in the control of Insect and fungous diseases.

Fertilizers applied liberally, will often stimulate plants attacked by Insects and disease to outgrow the Injury.

Clean gardening; the destruction of grasses, weeds, and rubbish, where Insects hibernate in winter, and of weeds on which
they first feed in the spring, is a leading principle in the control of these Insect pests.

Protect the Birds — they are best friends of the farmer and gardener.

Leaf-eating insects should be killed by the use of stomach poisons.

Sucking insects can only be killed by contact poisons. ijv,

nrnrTTiQ und grasshoppcrs may be destroyea by using a poisoned bran mash. I generally use about a quart of molasses or
1 sugar gallon of waiter and use enough to dampen 50 pounds of bran. Add % to 1 pound of Parish Green, sprink-

ling lightly over the surface and mixing uniformly. Place in lumps under the plants, or under boards or chips in tn.e infested riot.

A FEW GOOD FORMULAS FOR INSECTICIDES AND FUNOICIDES.

BORDEAUX MIXTURE.

Copper Sulphate (blue vitriol) 4 pounds

Lime (unslacked) 4 pounds

Water to make 60 gallons.

Dissolve the sulphate in hot water, using wood or earthen
vessel. Slack lime in tub. using only enough 'water to insure
thorough slaking. When slaked, cover freely with water and
stir. Pour milk of lime thus made into sulphate solution. Then
add water to make fifty gallons. Strain, stir thoroughly and
apply. Mixture should always be made fresh before using.

AMMONIACAL COPPER CARBONATE.

Copper Carbonate 5 oz.

Ammonia ® hf®-

Water 60 gallons

Dissolve carbonate in ammonia, and keep in glass, stoppered
bottle. Dilute to required strength. Solution loses strength on
standing. For use where Bordeaux will spot fruits late in
season.

CORROSIVE SUBLIMATE.

Corrosive Sublimate 2 oz.

Water 16 gallons

Dissolve corrosive sublimate in 2 gallons of hot water; then
dilute to 15 gallons and let stand 5 to 6 hours. Place Seed Pota-
toes in sack and immerse for 1% hours. Dry before planting.

Caution — Corrosive Sublimate is very poisonous and care
should be used in handling.

FORMALIN.

Formalin (40%) 1 pt.

Water 50 gallons

Used for the same purpose as corrosive sublimate but not
poisonous. Immerse potatoes 2 hours; dry before planting. For
soil drench use 2 pounds or more of formaldehyde to 60 gallons of
water.

STOMACH POISONS.

ARSENATE OF LEAD.

Arsenate of Lead 1 pint

Water 30 gallons

Can be applied stronger than other arsenlcals and adheres to
foliage longer. Can be used with Bordeaux.

PARIS GREEN.

Paris Green 1 pound

Water 76 to 150 gallons

If used dry mix one pound to 60-75 pounds of flour, stir
thoroughly and apply when dew is on the foliage. Can be \ sed
with Bordeaux with perfect safety.

CONTACT POISONS.

KEROSENE EMULSION.

Hard Soap, shaved fine % pound

Water 1 gallon

Kerosene . 2 gallons

Dissolve soap in hot water, add kerosene and church 'v^ith
pump 6 to 10 minutes. Dilute 4-10 times before applying. Use
strong for scale Insects. For plant lice, mealy bugs, red spider,
thrlps, weaker solution will be effective.

WHALE OIL SOAP.

Potash While Oil Soap 1 pound

Water 10 gallons

CARBOLIC ACID EMULSION.

Hard Soap, shaved fine 1 pound

Water 1 gallon

Crude Carbolic Acid 1 pint

kerosene emulsion. Dilute with 30 parts of water.

TOBACO DECOCTION.

Boll 1 pound tobacco stems or dust in 1 gallon of water for
an hour or until liquid is color of strong coffee. Strain to remove
dirt and add water to make 2 gallons for every pound of tob£,cco
use. Excellent for plant lice and does not Injure the most.terider
plants.

A FAMILY TALK

/ always reserve this page of my catalogue for a heart-to-heart talk with my friends and patrons and I get so
many kind, persona! letters from my customers that I am beginning to look upon all of them as “my family” — so
nicely do we get along with each other. ■ So when I sat down to write this page to you, I decided Fd make it a “Family
Talk” to my customers and picture some of my real family. There is nothing like knowing the man you do business
with — / like to know how a fellow looks and maybe you do, too. Anyway, on this page you’ll find a likeness of my-
self and my four boys. My boys know so much about my business now and handle it so well that it’s “our business, ”
and I thought it would be a mighty good thing for my customers and friends to get acquainted with the boys, too.
They’re good boys, believe in a “square deal” in all business transactions, and ! never yet have had occasion to be
ashamed of them. And whenever you come to New Orleans, come in and see me and meet my sons.

/ haven’t any particular message to put before the farmers and gardeners in this Southland. It seems to me
that they are well able, physically, mentally and morally, to take tolerably good care of themselves. They always
have. It appears to me, and always have progressed, and, on the whole, been just a little better off each year than the
one before. True, there are trials, tribulations and untold worries, but so there are in all walks of life, without
exception. The war in Europe bit the cotton farmer a hard blow, but it also hit the business man in the city, the
laboring man, the mechanic, the clerk, the bookkeeper, and pretty much everybody. AH of us will come out from
under, better able to cope with emergencies. At least that’s my opinion — and I’ve gone through every “bard times’*
period within the past forty years. Diversification, live stock raising, the living at home, with a money crop as a
feature, is the answer for all farmers. North or South, East or West, and in proportion to their following such a
“rotation” will they become independent and prosperous. Preaching a Sermon? Not a bit of it. Just a word that
will start you thinking up your own sermon.

Well, read this new book of mine. It doesn’t need any talk
from me — it speaks for itself, the prettiest, best, most helpful cata-
logue I have ever sent out. Don’t you agree with me? Thank you. ^ ^ ^ ^

ALL through this Catalog you will find this trademark before certain varieties of seed. That trademark is
mighty important to YOU, because REUTER’S PEERLESS strains of seed are positively the best in their class
that can possibly be produced. The trademark is also mighty important to ME, because it represents my name
and reputation in the seed business. If I put this mark on a worthless or inferior seed it would be but a short
time until I would have to find other patrons to maintain my business and I would eventually have to quit the trade entirely.

I will personally stand back of every strain and variety that bears this trademark. 1 develop, test out for several sea-
sons, and carefully inspect the seed crops that supply my stocks. I know without a doubt that the seeds I offer with this mark
are first-class in every particular and the very best for the purpose and clirnate and marketing requirements.

I have had remarkable opportunities to seek out and find the most suitable variety for every purpose, for I have bought
and shipped vegetables and farm produce for many ytars and I have never overlooked the wonderful opportunities for gather-
ing from the growers themselves the strong points, the weak ones, and the various qualifications of the many strains and va-
rieties.

Of course, it is impossible for me to grow all of the seed that my extensive trade calls for, but wherever my seed stocks
are grown for me, I personally select the growers and make my contracts accordingly, and I constantly keep in close touch with
the crops from the time the seed is planted until my seeds are gathered. And then the seed comes to me and I thoroughly and
rigidly test it for germination and purity. No seedsman could be more careful in selecting his stocks. No seedsman values bis
reputation higher than I do the good name I have built up among the market gardeners and farmers of the South. This is well
shown by the reputation I enjoy right at home, for THREE OUT OF EVERY FOUR of the New Orleans market gardeners
plant my seed exclusively, and do so year after year. No finer vegetables are sold in any market in the world than those grown
and shipped out of New Orleans. And the great majority of the vegetables bought by the housewives of New Orleans are pro-
duced from REUTER’S PEERLESS VEGETABLE SEEDS.

CULTURE OF ASPARAGUS

Culture — Sow the seeds early in the spring and give
good cultivation. When two years old, transplant into per-
manent beds, which should be well and deeply manured,
trenched about two feet deep. Set the plants in rows from
three to four feet apart and two feet in the rows, spreading
out the roots and covering from six to eight inches. On
the approach of winter, cover with manure or composit, fork
the beds early in the spring and apply a dressing of salt;
fish brine will answer the same purpose. Care must be
taken not to cut the stalks too soon in the fall of the year —
not until we have had a frost. If cut before, it will cause
the roots to throw up young shoots, which will waeken
them.

So I ask you to remember this trademark. Whenever you see it
before a variety you can bank on that variety being the finest strain
that you, or I, or any other person can produce.

Artichoke Seed and Roots

Green Globe — The best sort for .general use and exten-
sively cultivated in the vicinity of New Orleans. The best
method is to have them propagated from suckers, which
come up around the large plants. Take them off during
the fall and early winter and plant them four feet apart
each way. Every fall the ground should be well manured
and spaded or plowed between them, at the same time the suckers
should be taken off. Can also be sown from seed. Sow in drills
during the winter and early spring three or four inches apart and
about one foot from row to row, cover with about one-half inch of
earth. The following fall the plants can be transplanted and culti-
vated as above.

Green Globe Artlehokc Plants, per 100, $2.00; per 1,000, $15.00; per
10,000, $125.00.

Seed, per ox. 35e; % lb. $1.00; lb. $3.50.

Jerusalem Artichokes

This variety is not produced from
seed but is cultivated for and by its
tubers, which are especially valuable
for stock feeding on account of their
fattening properties: they are well

adapted to all soils where corn and potatoes can
be grown, and are cultivated the same as pota-
toes. The best hog food known. A preventive of
cholera and other hog diseases. One acre planted
in Jerusalem Artichokes will keep twenty-five to
thirty hogs in fine condition. A yield of five hun-
dred bushels to the acre is nothing unusual. Plant
ten to twelve bushels to the acre. They are also fine for culinary pur-
poses, and are therefore in large demand on our market. Don’t neglect
growing this valuable crop this year.

Price, per gal. 30c; bu. (50 lbs.) $2.00. Prices for larger quantities
on application, a.s market fluctuates.

REUTER’S GIANT ARGENTEUIL—

French Grown

Of all the varieties that have been
introduced, we have found this sort
to excel, both from a point of pro-
ductiveness, tenderness, earliness
and resistance to disease. In size it
is a giant, a marketable shoot or

__ often two inches in diameter and

twelve inches long, of which every part when
boiled is tender and delicious. It succeeds well
in nearly all soils and climates.

REUTER^S BLACK VALENTINE

The finest bush variety in cultivation. A strain
which in the last few years has become extremely
popular with the market gardeners in the South, owing
to its hardiness, rust resistance and prolificness. The
pods are perfectly round and straight, of a beautiful
green color. It is suited for both spring and fall plant-
ing', and is universally pronounced as the best for snip-
ping, as wel as for local market. It is the Standard
Variety in this section.

the Postage\

My stocks of Bean Seeds are grown for me under special contract by the most critical growers of this famous Vegetable fot\
seed purposes in the worid. These growers are fortunately situated in sections where the soil and climate have proved to be per- '
fectly adapted to the supreme growth and development of Bean Seeds. The stock seeds are bred each year on these seed farms — not
purchased from haphazard dealers to be planted with little or no care. They are TRUE-TO-TYPE, every field being carefully rogued
and cleared of all off types; the chances of mixture are practically eliminated; the types are improved year after year by the most
careful, painstaking and systematic efforts on the part of my growers. They are all VIQOROUS, HEALTHY, PROLIFIC SORTS, as
the seed is almost free from blight or anthracnose, the latter the most serious disease that wroughts havoc upon your crop. The
United States Department of Agriculture urges you to obtain your seed from seedsmen who can offer you disease-resistant strains,
which only come from careful growing and breeding of types in restricted sections that are POSITIVELY IMMUNE FROM THIS DIS-
ASTROUS DISEASE. This process of development offers less Immediate profit to the grower of good bean seed, but you and I real-
ize that the gardener who grows beans for profit in the South must be careful of the source of his seed supply. That is why I sell
thousands of bushels of the finest bred stocks to the most discriminating gardeners In the South. You might be paying me twenty-
five to fifty cents more per bushel than you can buy from your local dealer, but the difference in the price is Insignificant when you
carefully consider the range in quality and the resulting profits.

Culture — For the earliest crop they should be planted after all danger of frost is past. For a succession they should be planted
about every two weeks in rows eighteen inches apart; drop a bean every two or three Inches; hoe frequently, always, however,^
when the vines are dry — drawing the soil up towards the plants. Bush Beans planted in this latitude during the months of June
and July will not produce very much. August and September are good months In which to plant again, as they will produce\
abundantly until killed by the frost.

ance— round, long, and of light green color. Very
hardy, good for both early and late planting and an
immense producer. Owing to its dense foliage it will
stand a light frost without injury' to the pods. "We highly
recommend this variety as it is seldom affected by.rust and blight.
It is also immune from bean diseases.

HOPSON ORBEN POD

This variety is practically identical with the Hodson Wax — with the excep-
tion of the color, which is green instead of yellow. It is an exceptionally strong
and robust grower. Many of the plants measure 2% feet in height, often produc-
ing fifty to sixty long, straight, oval-shaped pods to a single plant. It is an
enormous yielder, unaffected by rust or blight. The green pods, when packed
young, are entirely stringless. It deserves a trial.

REUTER’S HODSON WAX

Unsurpassed for Shlpplns, Rust Resistant. Enormously Productive. Superb Flavor
This superior variety has become very popular
with the market gardeners throughout the South,
especially in the Lower Coast section of Louisiana.
The demand is now greater than ever, and our strain
of this splendid sort is exceptionally fine. The pods
are straight and average about seven inches in
length; absolutely rustless and freer from blight. The vines are
vigorous and enormously productive. The ample foliage shelters
the pods from the hot sun, and renders them exceptionally ten-
der brittle, and of very fine quality. It is not an extra early

SURE CROP STRINOLESS WAX BEANS

This is a grand new variety of Dwarf Wax Beans originated
bv Mr Keeney of New York State, and introduced into the South-
ern States exclusively by us. It resembles the Curries Wax in
ulant pod and bean, but it is entirely different in quality. It
certainly deserves a trial. The. plant grows to a medium size,
and having a strong, thick stem, stands up well even during a
long season of stormy weather, thus protecting the pods from
dirt and dampness, and eliminating rust. It is absolutely string-
less at all stages of development. It is extremely productive,
bearing extra large pods, measuring 7 to 7% inches Ions, nrioie
than one-half inch wide and nearly one-half inch thick. its
beautiful yellow pods sell at sight on any market, and on this
account we predict an enormous demand from the critical
truckers throughout the South. It is more rust-proof and
will stand more adverse weather conditions than any other wax
bean we know of. Is not this feature alone sufficient to war-
rant a trial ^

popular in Tangipahoa Parish, La., grown extensively by many of
the leading gardeners who claim that it resists disease and
drouth effectively, and, in addition, is immensely prolufic and a
splendid shipper. I have secured a small lot which I can offer
in limited quantities to my customers. The vine is strong, hold-
ing the pods well up. The pods are of an exceedingly bright yel-
low color, handsomer in this respect than any other wax bean;
in shape they resemble Wardwell's wax but are orunder and
more meaty. The color of the seed Is yellow.

My stocks are grown for me in France, as that country excels the world for the production ot e finest quality of Beet Seed.
They are ail grown from carefully -selected full-grown roots, uniform as to size, shape and color, and I believe my strains are un-
surpassed. During 1914 / sold more than 20,000 pounds of Beet Seed to the New Orleans Market Gardeners. Sow 10 lbs to the acre.

Culture — The ground for Beets should be rich and well cultivated. Sow in drills twelve Inches apart and about one inch deep.
When the plants are well up, thin to from four to six inches. In this latitude Beets are sown from January until the end of April,
and from the middle of July to the middle of November; in fact, some growers sow them every month in the year. Can also be sown
broadcast.

I Order Early! \ REUTER’S CRESCENT CITY BEET — The Best of the Early Beets | I Pay Postage ! |

A strain of Beets similar to Crosby, but of darker color and finer form. It is the best red turnip in cultivation and is
grown extensively by the local market gardeners, who consider it the earliest and best bunching beet ever introduced. In
quality and color it is without an equal, very fine grained, tender and sweet, and free from stringy and woody character.
The color is deep red, almost black; tops are not too small, thus making it an ideal bunching sort. Our stock is grown ex-
pressly for us by a most famous French Seed Grower, and our carefully selected stock will produce a crop more uniform
in shape, color and quality than any other strain obtainable. Mr. Peter Campere, a leading New Orleans market gardener, states:
“Reuter’s Crescent City Beet is without a doubt the finest sort I have ever planted. I have never seen a crop more uniform in shape,
size and color, and intend to plant no other variety.”

gardener friends with the assurance that no money can
buy better. Our strain is kept top notch by our responsible
foreign growers, who exert the utmost care in growing in,
order to retain in equal proportion, earliness, shape and
color. No matter how much you think of the strain you have

Second Early and Main Crop

passed quality. The foliage is small — leaves all grow from
a very small crown in the top of the bulb. The Beet is en-
tirely free from fibrous rootlets, having only a slender tap
root. No up-to-date grower can afford to be without this
excellent new sort. For home use it is of equal quality as

Mangels and Sugar BEETS for Stock Feeding

Root Crops are highly valuable to the Southern Farmer. The value of these for stock feeding cannot be overestimated. The
results from their use are wonderful, as they are very nutritious and fattening, and improve the health and condition of the stock, and
also the quality and quantity of the milk. They yield enormously, and can be grown at a trifling cost from our highly reselected
imported seed. Mangels and Sugar Beets are a necessity, and the tremendous increasing demand from all sections of the South Is the
best evidence that these people are awakening to the vita! importance of planting Root Crops for cattle feed. Everyone who keeps
even one cow should grow a patch of either Mangels or Sugar Beets. A trial will prove to you the phenomenal yields which they
produce.

Live stock on the farm means wealth. Cattle, hogs and sheep are the farmers’ greatest assets. Live stock raising makes
prosperity. With the advent of the boll-weevil, and the present three-year tariff on sugar, it is essential that the planter divert
his attention to raising something that is more lucrative than either of these staples. To wait until he is financially broke before
making the change is folly. We must begin now to start a small stock of cows and hogs to insure a monthly cash income. A cow
Is good for at least ten years and gives a calf each year, which will soon total a nice herd. Begin as soon as possible with a few
cattle. Take good care of them. Feed them properly. Give them plenty of giod nourishing feed, such as sugar beets, good hay,
good corn, good oats, etc. The.y will thrive and will not need a lot of attention. You can grow all these feed stuffs on your farm
with the proper care and attention. We are in a natural cattle country. Our mild winters afford us pasture the year through.
Cattle require little attention in the summer time. But, in the winter, they must be given more care, more nutritious feed, such as
corn silage, stock beets, oats. etc.

Cattle-raising offers the greatest opportunity for the improvement of existing conditions on your farm. There is no reason
why you should not have a herd of cattle, which will be a constant source of cash income. With the present one-crop system,
the Southern farmer is usually short of cash during the growing seasons. He must wait until his crop is harvested before he can
get any money, but with a few cows, hogs, sheep, etc., he will always have ready cash, making him independent and prosperous.

Successful cultivation depends largely upon the well-prepared seed bed, ploughed deep and well pulverized. The best soil Is
a ricli, friable sand, or clayey loam. Rich, mucky soils will often give an immense yield of roots, which though excellent for feed, are
of little value for sugar-making. Sow in the fall and winter in rows two feet apart, and thin to nine inches in the rows. Young
plants may be transplanted to fill up vacancies. The seed should be well covered with about one inch of soil pressed firmly over It.
Cultivate frequently. Sow six to eight pounds to the acre.

able attention of farmers interested in these pursuits. The rapid growth in our sales of sugar beet
seed within the past year shows that the value of this important crop is gaining recognition. The two
best sorts are mentioned below. I obtain the seed from France. These two sorts contain the highest
percentage of sugar. Yields of fifteen to twenty tons to the acre have been frequently made in the
South, and from these beets 13 to 18 per qent of sugar can be obtained.

My good growers in France are specialists, and every care is exercised to Improve the stocks
by selecting the most important types and heaviest yielders, and those that contain a very large per-
centage of dry matter. It is es^ntial that the grower purchase the best seed, carefully test the vital-
ity before planting, and be SURE of its source.

KLEIN WANZLEBEN

This is the variety so extensively planted for sugar factories.
Roots are a little larger than Vilmorin's Improved, and a little
hardier and easier grown. Tops rather large; leaves slightly
waved. Yields from twelve to eighteen tons per acre.

Price, ox. 5c; lb, 15c; lb. 40c; 10 IbH. $3,50.

VILMORIN’S IMPROVED

One of the richest in sugar content of the sorts in cultivation.
It will do better on new lands than any other, suffers less from
the excess of nitrogen, and will keep the best. Tops are of
medium size, with smooth, bright green leaves. Grows entirely
under the ground, and yields good crops under ordinary condi-
tions. Fine for cattle feeding.

Price, ox. 5c; V-i lb. 15c; lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3,50.

Note — Write for prices on larger quantities. Remember that all root crops are profitable and nutritious for stock feeding.
I sell large quantities of Carrots, Turnips, and Rutabagas for the same purpose. You cannot Improve your stock more quickly
than with Mangels and Sugar Beets. Include a few pounds In your order this spring. My stocks are large and extra fine.

Reuter’s Long Island Grown CABBAGE SEED

‘ WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BE?

From the time you plant your cabbage seed the uppermost question in your mind is: What will the harvest be? Wil lit be a
bumper crop that will bring you lots of money, or will the outcome be so poor that it will hardly pay you to market it? This
year will be a great one for big crops, and the only ones who will complain are those who purchased cheap seed that won’t grow under
favorable conditions. Always remember that the seed cost you the least- — it is the cheapest thing about your entire crop, so why

fret about a few cents an acre and buy f-rom dealers who don’t know that ong Island produces the best cabbage seed for the South?

You simply cannot, in justice to yourself and to those who are dependent upon you, plant anything but the very best. You always
take chances when you buy cabbage seed from dealers who are not a bit familiar with Southern conditions and are not thoroughly
acquainted with the special sorts that do so wonderfully well in the South. I want you to realize that one pound of ReuteK s Peer-
less Cabbage Seed is worth fully four pounds of the trashy, dirty stuff that is being sold in the South and North 6y irresponsible

dealers. .The harvest of your cabbage crop depends upon the seed you sow. When you buy a pound of seed from anyone oe sure

that it is entirely Long Island Grown Stock — be positive that It’s Pure. Genuine and absolutely not mixed with old seed.

REUTER’S GENUINE MONSTER SUREHEAD

Proved Trustworthy— Needs no Introduction to Texas Growers
This is the Cabbage you have heard so much
about. Thousands of acres are annually sown with
this one sort. It is the finest type of second early
cabbage on the market, and has won for Itself great
esteem among the most discriminating growers In
Southwest Texas, where I sell more than a thousand
pounds annually. I am very particular about my stock of this
variety, and have had my growers pay extra critical attention
to the elimination of all ‘ off-types” in my seed crops— the result
Is that I am able to offer you a strain much better than you can
buy anywhere, no matter how much you may pay. It is popular
all through the South for its size and sure heading qualifications.
The heads are uniform in size, very solid, ranging from fifteen
to twenty-five pounds. Being a strong and vigorous grower,
it will withstand lots of inclement weather without rotting. A
favorite, because it has made good in every sense of the word.

REUTER’S ST. LOUIS LATE MARKET

A very fine late cabbage highly esteemed by the
growers in Texas where I sell hundreds of pounds.
Last year I had more orders for this strain than I
was able to handle, and the result was that many of
my best customers were disappointed. My grower on
Long Island only delivered me nine hundred pounds
on my contract order, and this was not nearly enough to go
around. It is a strong grower, and is said to stand warm weather
better than most other sorts. The heads are extra large, round,
flattened on top, fine grained and keep exceptionally well. In
many respects It resembles my Peerless Flat Dutch, but is some-
what different In growth. My seed stock is good — cannot be

REUTER’S PEERLESS SUCCESSION

Best Second Early Cabbage In Existence

This grand variety comes in a few days
later than our Early Summer, but is nearly
double the size of that variety. Our strain
is the result of many years of continuous
care and critical selection, and we have at
last secured a perfectly true stock of seed. We have on
file to-day more than two hundred unsolicited letters from
prominent truckers throughout the South in regard to Its
great excellence. It is the best bred variety in America,
and it is doubtful if we have a Cabbage that possesses
more uniform heading characteristics. Under favorable
conditions every plant will produce a head, and they run
remarkably uniform in shape, size and markings. We be-
lieve it to be the most reliable Cabbage ever introduced.
The heads are medium size, very firm and solid, averaging
10 to 12 inches In diameter, but are frequently larger.
Average twelve to fifteen pounds, but many weigh more.

REUTER’S TEXAS VOLGA— TRUE STOCK

I sometimes wish that I were gifted with a
greater variety of beautiful words, so that I could
use some of them in describing certain kinds of
vegetables grown from my seeds. This is one of
them. Here is one cabbage that has made good, and
everybody in Texas that grows Cabbage to any extent
will bear out my statement. It was primarily a Russian variety
that was introduced within the last few years and found to be
profitable and especially adapted to the climate and soil in South-
west ’Texas, where it now leads all others. It is a quick grower,
maturing about the same time, or possibly a little earlier, than
my Monster Surehead. It makes a deep, very heavy head, remark-
ably solid and white. It will outsell all other cabbage at sight.
Grows close to the ground and produces heads that are excep-
tionally uniform in size, shape and maturity. I want to call your
special attention, if you are interested in quality, to this strin,
as its excellent quality, flavor, tenderness, and crispness is un-
equaled. I offer only Long Island Seed — bred up to the acme
of perfection by growers who have devoted their lives to this
one branch of agriculture — growing cabbage seed.

grown by the local market gardeners, and the very
large quantities we have sold in Texas. Louisiana’ and
Mississippi the past two years, show that It is an
extremely valuable sort to all truckers who desire
the best Early Flat Dutch Cabbage. It Is a sure header, very uni-
form in growth -and of fine quality. It is a dwarf and compact
grower, allowing close planting. We have taken great pains to
secure a fine strain of this Cabbage and we think our reselected

English seed of this variety, but obtain our stock from a most re-
liable grower on Long Island.

PYROx IS The best spray for cabbage

Pyrox does the trick with the bugs. It sticks to the plants like paint, and no rain will wash it off. All you have to do is to
mix it with water and spray at the rate of one pound to six gallons or more of water. I have used it on cabbage myself, and found
many points in its favor. One is the fact that in many cases one application was sufficient to hang on until the heads were v.ery
nearly mature, saving the usual loss from cabbage worm. It will also increase the yield and quality of your crop by keeping the
plant healthy and vigorous throughout the growing season, thus it dds to your profit and not to your expense.

CAULIFLOWER

Ckeap^CauIiflower Seed

Cannot Be Good

All the Cauliflower Seed I offer is produced by the most famous growers in Denmark, in such localities that are best adapted
to their perfect development. The seed is saved from beads especially selected for seed purposes and can be absolutely depended
upon for best possible crops.

REUTER’S EARLY SNOWBALL

The growingr of this splendid variety
in Louisiana and other Southern States
during the winter months has reached
enormous proportions, and it is indeed
getting to be a profitable industry. This
is the most popular early variety. Such
prices as $2.50 per dozen in Chicago, $3.00 per dozen
in New York, and $4.50 per dozen in Boston were
most encouraging for the Louisiana planters during
December and January of last year, and the acreage
has increased to such an extent that it has developed
a new truck crop for our section — winter cauliflower.

I handle only the finest selection of pure Danish
Seed. Cheap Cauliflower Seed cannot be good, whether
you buy it here or import it yourself direct. The
price should never be questioned, and a good grower
of Cauliflower never hesitates to pay twenty dollars
a pound for the best seed procurable. My strain of
this famous variety produces round heads, pure white,
of medium size, and perfectly solid. The plants are
compact, with short outside leaves, and therefore al-
lowing close planting. My seed never falls to please
the most exacting. If you are interested in the
growing of winter cauliflower, write to the Louisiana
State University and A. & M. College, Baton Rouge,

La., for their Bulletin No. 140, “Preliminary Report
on Winter Cauliflower.” It is a leaflet well written
by Mr. Tiebout. an able horticulturist of this state.

CELERY

Culture — Sow in May and June for early transplanting, and
during August and September for a late crop. Sow in shallow
boxes indoors, or in a finely prepared seed bed out-doors. See
to it that the seeds are not covered too deep, and that the bed
is kept moist, almost wet, until the seeds germinate, as plenty of
moisture is essential to a satisfactory growth. When the plants
are about two inches high, thin out and transplant so that they
may stand three inches apart. When the plants are about six
inches high, transplant into trenches about four inches deep,
nine or ten inches wide and about two feet apart, made very rich
with thoroughly decomposed manure. Plants should be from six
to eight inches apart. When planted out during the hot summer
months, the trenches should be shaded. Celery requires plenty of
moisture, and watering with soapsuds or liquid manure will bene-
fit the plants a great deal. When tall enough, it should be
banked up with earth from both sides to bleach it for the market.

GOLDEN SELF=BLANCHING CELERY

This is the strain that is so popular throughout
this entire big country. Extensively cultivated
throughout the South, and the demand for my super-
fine French Seed the past year has been tremendous. No other
strain can give you the same satisfaction. No matter how
much other seedsmen will try to get your order for Celery Seed,
always be sure that you are obtaining stock grown in France
by Vilmorin. This is the only kind I handle. It is compact in
growth and the stalks are large, solid, and of a remarkably
beautiful rich golden yellow, very crisp and tender, and free from
stringiness. Don’t buy American Grown Golden Self Blanching

Carrot Seed Is a leading specialty with me, and all of my stocks are hand ruhhed, and are grown for me by critical and experi-
enced growers who know the vital importance of careful selection and isolation. My seed is of the highest class and should satisfy
any Market Gardener, no matter how discriminating. Our Market Gardeners planted 9,000 pounds of my Carrot Seed during 1914.

Culture — Requires a well-enriched sandy soil, well manured. If the ground Is not of this quality, it should be dug deep and
well broken the year previous. Sow in drills one foot apart, covering the seed half an inch deep. Thin out the plants from three to
five Inches apart, according to the variety. Our local gardeners sow them broadcast, and very often the roots are small from being

crowded too much together.

till the middle of October; for Spring use, during
January and February. When the young plants are
one month old transplant them in rows one foot apart,
and about the same distance in the rows. They also

actually cheaper to produce it than to buy^ it, even with 12c and 15c cotton. Corn that sells for 85c and_ ?1.00 per bushel can be
produced at 15c to 20c per bushel and often for less, and a farmer who figures he can afford to buy it rather than raise it must
have learned arithmetic under a new sort of professor. The big th ing in the growing of a big crop lies in the planting of good seed.
The Louisiana Corn Growers’ Association, in a leaflet issued, says; “ Good seed is probably more than one-half the cause of making
high yieids, because upon it depends the per cent of stand obtained and on that depends the amount of corn per acre. WHAT DOES
GOOD SEED MEAN? It is seed that possesses first-class germinating qualities, the characters desired for propagation and selected
from high-yielding strains. It even stands for acclimatization and soil adaptation.”

The man wlio wrote that leaflet knew something about corn. And if we had thought hard for a month we could not have de-
scribed our carefully selected and tested seed corn better than this writer has done when he told what GOOD SEED was. Better
plant no corn at all than to plant poor, common seed, for that means you waste your land, your seed, your work and the opportunity
to produce something worth while. Buy good seed — Reuter’s Seed Corn — and plant to the limit of your capacity this season. That’s
my advice to you. The Southern corn producer is rapidly coming into his own.

REUTER’S YELLOW PUNT CREOLE

Weevil Proof-Bird Proof— Drouth Proof— Rain Proof— Failure Proof

This is MY Corn. While I catalogue just as many varie-
ties of corn as any seedsman In this country, yet I devote
more time to this one variety than I do to any other part

of my seed business. I grow it myself on my own farm,

which is situated about fifty miles below New Orleans. I have

a dandy farm there, about 600 acres in all, and grow lots
of this seed corn, also Sorghums, and some vegetables, principally Let-
tuce and Cauliflower. I also have a mighty fine Orange Grove, and this

year with oranges selling more than $2.00 per box, I will have lots of
Christmas money. Did you ever eat a Louisiana Orange? Try one once.
They are simply delicious. But I don’t want to get away from this corn
proposition, and want to say all I can about this splendid sort, which I
grow EXCLUSIVELY on my farm. I do not grow any other sort. I devote
every bit of my attention to the culture of this Yellow Flint Corn. Why?
Because I believe that it is the finest Corn you can grow. It is the
variety that will eventually supersede all others.

This corn was “born’’ in Louisiana. It was not introduced by anyone.
I did not introduce it. It was growing here long before I was born, and
I often saw it when I was a youngster with short trousers. I am devel-
oping it all the time, improving it, breeding it up to the highest, until
some day 1 will offer you a yellow flint corn that cannot be surpassed.
Of course. I can’t do all this at once, as it takes time to develop a type,
and requires lots of hard work and patience.

This corn is absolutely “WEEVIL PROOF.” No doubt you’ve heard
lots talk like me before, and have tried their corn, and it proved to be
anything but bug proof. Or perhaps it was weevil-proof, and lacked every
other element to make it a desirable sort. But this corn is an all-around
good corn, and is splendid for your farm. It is the hardest grained yel-
low corn I know of that is adapted to the South. It resists drouth bet-
ter than any variety, and will withstand more wet weather than anything
I know of. The husk is what I want you to notice particularly. The
HUSK covers the ear of the corn so completely and tightly that it is im-
possible for any bird or weevil to get to the corn. The husk is big and
heavy and closes like a vice over each ear of corn. This feature only
should be an inducement for you to plant this sort. Most of the old-
fashioned corns planted in the South are soft and are badly damaged
in the crib by the grain weevil, this pest often making it unfit for feed.
If you want to keep your corn the entire year and have feed twelve
months each year, plant my Yellow Creole Seed. It will yield more than
any soft corn you have ever planted, and is absolutely weevil proof, be-
cause the weevils simply can't eat it. The cattle on my farm relish it,
and one year, when I was short of this corn, they did not seem to care
for the Northern Feed Corn as well. This Corn contains only TWELVE
PER CENT OP MOISTURE at husking time and is so dry when picked
that it is ready for Immediate export to any European market or South
Africa. Liverpool buyers prefer it to all other kinds of corn they receive,
because it will NOT HEAT IN TRANSIT and will always arrive in good
condition, whereas other corns will usually heat and get musty. The
progressive Sugar Planters in Louisiana always plant this Corn. They
simply can’t be induced to plant any other. It is a variety that has been
growing in this state for a century, but no attempt has ever been made to
improve or develop it until I planted some on my farm. In a year or so,
I will be able to offer you the purest kind of seed of this variety. Seed
grown under the “HOLDEN SYSTEM.” You all know Prof. Holden, the
great corn expert. If you don’t try to get acquainted with him next time
he gets in your town, as he will aid you in your crop of corn. He has
made this one crop his life’s study. Last year my Creole yielded about
forty bushels to the acre, and as you well know, the season was a very
poor one. It rained continuously for many weeks, which, no doubt, de-
creased the yield somewhat. Produces two good ears on every stalk, and
sometimes three. I suggest that you plant this seed in February or early
March, and then you can market your crop during October, sixty days in
advance of the corn movement from the Northern and Western States.
This will insure you high prices. My Creole Corn is planted during June
in Louisiana and produces excellent results, as It will even then mature
before frost.

STOP PAYINQ FOR NORTHERN CORN PROWERS’ AUTOMOBILES t

Do you know that thousands of carloads of corn are shipped into
Texas, ouisiana, Mississippi and other Southern States every year from
Missouri,, Nebraska, Iowa and other Northern States? Do you know that
the farmers in these States that grow a surplus of corn are among the
richest in the entire country? They rdie around in automobiles, whereas
you can't pay train fare to take your family to the city once a year.
Get out of the rut! Get in line with them and raise more corn. INCREASE
THE YIELD! MORE AND BlETTER CORN is what we want now.

Reuter's Yellow Creole will grow well on the poorest kind of land, but,
of course, will do much better on rich ground. The stalks average eight
to twelve feet in height. Has very long, deep roots, making it an excellent
stormproof and drouth-resistant variety.

Should be Grown in Every Garden
Were I asked to name the sweetest Sweet Corn, 1
would unhesitatingly say "Golden Bantam.” It is not
only the sweetest, but also one of the hardiest, and what
it lacks in size is more than made up by its other grand
qualities. The ears are from 6 to 7 inches long, eight
rowed, filled with broad, sweet, golden yellow kernels of
a delightful flavor. It may be planted with perfect
safety from ten days to two weeks earlier than other
Sweet Corns. The dry seed is quite solid and is not as
apt to rot as that of the softer kinds.

TRUCKER’S FAVORITE

A grand variety maturing with our Im-
proved French Market, largely grown in
many sections of the South. For such mar-
kets as rank size and profit first, this variety
is very profitable to grow for market as a
Sugar Corn; it is a large White Dent, twelve
rowed, long, symmetrical, well-filled ears.

STOW ELL’S EVERGREEN SUGAR CORN

This is not only the most celebrated, but the most popular
of all varieties; although not an early sort, Ir is, without any
exception, the best for table use of the entire lot, although quite
late. Some may observe they have tried it and have not had
the pure stock, as no variety degenerates so quickly without the
grower is exceedingly careful. We have very frequently observed
samples sent out by some seed establishments as Stowell’s Ever-
green that were composed of several varieties, caused by being
grown in the vicinity of other sorts.

Prices, prepaid, pkt. 5c; pint 25c; qt. 40c; gal. 75c. Not pre-
paid, peck, $1.00; bu. $3.50; 10 bn. or more, $3.25 per bu.

COUNTRY GENTLEMAN

The ears average nine inches in length and are borne from
two to five and sometimes six on each stalk. The cob is small
and very closely packed from tip to butt with slender, pure white
kernels of the finest quality. If you try this variety you will
like it.

paid, peck $1.25; bu. $4.25; 10 bu. or more 4.00 per bo.

ADAMS EXTRA EARLY
The hardiest and earliest variety. It Is not a
Sweet Corn, but produces ears well filled with tender
white grains. It is largely planted by the local
truckers for the earliest corn for market.

REUTEk’S WHITE SNOWFLAKE

A very fine field sort, especially adapted to the
South because of its earliness, productiveness and
fine quality. Its growth is from seven to eight feet,
producing two ears to the stalk, which are very
large, the cob which is very thin and grains deep.

Excellent for Roasting Ears, and is well liked by
the New Orleans Market Gardeners for this purpose.

Prices, prepaid, pkt. 5c; pint 20c; qt. 35c; gal. 65c. Not pre-

REUTER’S MOSBY PROLIFIC CORN

This is one of the finest Southern Prolific Corns
planted in the South. It is a pure white corn on a
small cob. deep full grains. Ears are of medium
size. Stands drouth remarkably well. Produces
from two to four well formed ears to the stalk. This
variety is more generally grown throughout the Cot-
ton Belt and more widely and favorably known than any other
White Dent Corn. It is a sure-cropper, middling early, deep-
grained. pure white, and a good corn in every way. On old. thin
land it will make a better crop than any corn you can plant, as
it seems to be able to adapt Itself to hard, unfavorable conditions.
This is also true of the Davis’ Prolific. On rich lands it has made
enormous yields, and I think that there is no better all-around
prolific corn grown than a good strain of Mosby. It’s all in the
seed, however, and sometimes you may obtain some of the Mosby
from a dealer who is selling you scrub, mongrel seed. My grow-
ers have been selecting the Mosby for several years with a view of
getting a better strain, and I don’t think that my strain is ex-
celled by anyone. I have a big supply of it this year, and will
be pleased to quote you special prices on large quantities.

REUTER’S IMPROVED WHITE WONDER

This is the grandest variety of Corn ever introduced. It orig-
inated in Oklahoma. Will grow under conditions that kill all
other varieties. It is, as its name implies, veritably a White
Wonder Corn. More corn fields have been ruined by the con-
tinuous drought and hot sun killing the tassel and pollen this past
season than ever before. This great Corn went forty-eight days
of growing weather without a drop of rain, and the heat the
most severe ever known in the section where our seed is grown.
All fields of other varieties burned up by the hot sun. It ripens
the same time as the early varieties, and is the only large-eared
corn for late planting that we know of that ripens so soon.
Known to make one hundred bushels to the acre when other
varieties made but thirty to forty bushels. The stalks grow from
ten to thi'-teen feet in height, and are exceedingly thick, with
short and heavy joints. ,

CHAMPION WHITE PEARL

A very handsome variety, producing large, uni-
form, well-filled ears, with large, pure white grains.
A very fine field sort and raised extensively for
market. Our stock is grown by Ratekin in the right
way, and is far superior to the ordinary commercial

f rade sold by many seedsmen,
argelv for market by the local gardeners.

REUTER’S IMPROVED FRENCH MARKET

A fine white variety maturing about the same
time as the Large Adams. Produces large ears and
large grains. It is raised extensively for Roasting
Ears by the New Orleans Market Gardeners, and we
have not as yet been able to supply the great derna^
for it. Our stock is pedigreed, and excels any seed

sold here.

REUTER’S GENUINE MEXICAN JUNE

The genuine Mexican June Corn is grown only in part

of Mexico, and we do not hesitate to say that it i.s
purest strain obtainable. The variety is more
ever, and we were unable to fill all m Uself

to the tremendous demand. Our stock has established for ‘tself
a splendid reputation in many parts of Louisiana, Mississippi

and other Southern States. -i. „ lo

It is a White Corn of excellent quality and flavor; the ear is
medium size, with a husk so closely adhering as to be practically
worm and weevil proof. The stalk is short, seldom growing more
than seven to eight feet high. The roots run deep and spread,
so that it is a splendid drouth resister. Can be planted any time
from April 1st until the end of August. Can be planted after
an oat crop, or when other crops have failed, and mature
frost. Its germinating power is great, and consequently it will
stand even in dry weather. It is only equalled by our Famous
White Wonder for late planting.

Prices, prepaid, pkt. 5c; pint 20c; qt. 3.5c; gal. 65c. Not pr»-
paid, peck, 90c; bu. 3.00; 10 bu. or more $2.75 per bu.

IMPROVED SQUAW CORN

The demand for this splendid corn from the Southern State*
is greater than ever, and it certainly has come to stay. It is a
natural drought resisting dry weather Corn. Very similar to the
Mexican June, and should be planted during June and July for
stock or roasting ears. The ears grow from ten to twelve Inches
long, and carry from ten to twenty-four rows of plump grains.

The plant stools more freely than other varieties, often send-
ing up as many as five culms, each producing two good ears.

The grains are peculiar, some being red. blue, speckled and
white; more blue than any other color. Mature in seventy days.

Highly recommended for late planting. .... , ...

Sold by some unscrupulous seedsmen in this section for the

Mexican June, but is unquestionably a distinct sort- For field
purposes it is just as good as the Mexican June, but is inferior to
this splendid variety for Roasting Ears. One variety is grown In
Mexico, the other in Oklahoma. We sell each variety for what
it really Is, and nothing more.

San Benito, Tex., Oct. 15, 1914.

The Davis Prolific Corn purchased from you this year brought

me not only the First Prize at the San Benito Corn Show, but also
the Champion Corn of any prolific corn planted in this section.
I pulled a great many roasting ears, sold some, much stolen out
of my field by Mexicans, and I am safe in saying that the yield
was 75 bushels, and it might be a little more. I wish to tell you
that it weighed heavier than any corn hauled into San Benito
this season. I am glad to offer you this testimonial as I cer-
tainly was benefited by buying my corn from you.

DAVIS PROLIFIC CORN

An Enormous Producer of Orain and Forage. The Record-Breaking Prize-Winner of the South _

Davla Prolific Com is the product of years of selection and
breedinR, the object being the producing of a high yielding corn
suitable to the average soils of the South, and one that was hard

enough to resist the weevil, and at the same time not too hard

for stock to eat, and one that would produce two ears to the
stalk where the soil’s fertility was sufficient to produce them.
This we have accomplished and are now supplying the most critical farmers
in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee with this
corn.

This corn is well known as DAVIS’ POOR LAND CORN because of its

ability to make good yields on land that ordinarily would not produce a

fair crop of the usual Southern varieties. Any corn that will produce well
on thin soil will, of course, make heavy yields on good lands.

The DAVIS is a medium early variety, two ears to the stalk, a large
deep, wedge-shaped grain, with small cob. The ears are
medium in size, filling close in the rows and well out at
the tip and butt. It is not a flinty grain, but one of the
soundest corn grown. It is fine stock corn and makes most
excellent meal and is in great demand for milling purposes.

Many tests have shown that 70 pounds of ear corn will
shell out 60 to 62 pounds of grain, or 86 per cent. Ordi-
narily ear corn will shell out 56 pounds to the bushel, or
eighty per cent.

The demand for this corn has grown until Mr. Davis
was unable to supply it. He grows only one corn on his
big farm in Alabama, and this one corn is DAVIS’PROLIFIC.

In 1910 he raised 6,626 bushels, and in 1911 he raised 5,164
bushels. The 1910 commercial seed field of 50 acres aver-
aged 65 bushels to the acre. The 1911 commercial seed field
of 80 acres averaged 54 bushels to the acre. The 1912
commercial seed field of 60 acres averaged 64.2 bushels to
the acre.

The DAVIS PROLIFIC CORN stood FIFTH in the Variety Test of 50 varieties at the Alabama Experiment Station, and FIRST
In the percentage of grain at the Mississippi Experiment Station, and FIRST in Alabama as the Highest YIELD on large acreage.

Although not five years old, it is one of the most popular corns in the South, and is the most valuable corn for general farm
conditions. The demand has grown beyond the supply, and I consider myself very fortunate in being able to secure the selling
agency for this magnificent seed corn from Mr. Clarendon Davis. Every bushel is grown under his personal supervision on his own
farms, thereby decreasing the chances of your getting poor inferior seed.

Understand that this corn has been bred and raised always under normal field conditions. Never in a highly fertilized acre

just to see how much it will make regardless of the cost, but always after a cotton crop, peas, or clover, and. with a view of

making the maximum yield at the minimum cost.

I do not believe In this highly fertilized and manured acre at an enormous cost. There is no money to be made in this kind of
farming. It has its place in showing what the soil of the South can produce, but it is far more profitable to raise 60 bushels
of corn at a cost of 9 cents a bushel and selling it for 75 cents per bushel, than it is to raise 100 bushels to the acre at a cost of
60 cents a bushel and selling it for the same money. If we were to put 40 to 50 loads of manure on five or six acres, instead of one,
our returns would be far more in succeeding years and our land would be in better shape.

I believe that it is so far ahead of other prolific varieties that it is in a class by itself. If you want a good profitable corn.

Pu *^0 It is not to be compared with the "HOT-AIR” Prolific Corns that are so highly advertised by seedsmen in

the South. You will lose faith in prolific varieties if you believe all they tell you and endeavor to produce the wonderful yields they
picture to you through their catalogs and publications. This Is a corn that has made good, and is rapidly coming to the front
as the finest type of Prolific Corn in the South to-day.

It has been bred to exactly two ears to the stalk so as to develop size and avoid four or five
nubbins, characteristic of some prolific sorts. Ears average eight to ten inches long, rows twelve
to sixteen grains long, pointed, medium hard, medium size, evenly lined and firmly set on small
white cob. This variety fills out well both tips and butts; in fact, the ear, owing to the small-
ness of the cob, is practically all Corn.

ORIGINATOR’S STOCK ONLY. I procure my seed stock direct from Mr. Clarendon Davis,
who is one of the most progressive farmers in our Southern country. He has bred up by care-
ful selection a variety of corn that has given wonderfully good results over the South. He has
one of the finest farms in Alabama, lots of live stock, and other good things. Be sure to buy
your seed from me.

All through the South many varieties of Prolific Corn are sold to the farmers. When

planted they usually produce four or five small ears that are practically worthless for feed or

grain purposes. These "Hot-Air Prolific Corns” are a curse to the Southern farmer. The seed
is usually grown by a dozen different farmers and bought by one seed house. The type runs
irregular, the strain is not pure, the yield is lessened, the germination is impaired; in fact, the
corn produces the poorest kind of crop. You then lose faith entirely in Prolific Corns. I don't
blame you a bit. So much of this kind of work has been going on that the Prolific Corn is usual-
ly evaded by the farmer who is growing corn for profit. With the Davis’ Prolific you have the
finest Southern Corn grown. It is the corn that makes a good, steady yield. Nothing remarkable
about it, but just a pure, reliable, pedigree Prolific Corn that is being grown in Alabama by
Mr. Clarendon Davis. He don’t say that it is the finest corn in the world, but he does state
that it is a Prolific Variety that has come to stay, and will eventually supersede every Prolific

Variety planted in the South. It is bound to make good on your farm, the same as it has on

Mr. Davis’ farm. He plants no other kind. Will you do the same.’

DAVIS PROLIFIC CORN is a wonderful producer of both grain and forage. It is the finest
type of Prolific Corn I have ever seen. It is the best ALL-AROUND CORN you can plant.

Castleberry, Ala,, Sept. 10th, 1914.

The Davis Prolific Corn I purchased from you last spring is all that you claim for it. I
like It better than any Corn that I have ever grown.

I planted it on ordinary land and two-thirds of it has two ears to the stalk. I can’t say
how much it will produce in bushels per acre, as I haven’t harvested it yet. I will plant my
whole crop with it next year. Yours truly,

Washington, La., Aug. 13th, 1914.

I have been buying' my seeds in Ohio until now, but it takes a long time to get freight
her© from Ohio and we would prefer dealing in New Orleans, but we have had some bad treat-
meant by some of your New Orleans seedsmen in the way of trashy seeds, so until we
got your Catalogue we have kept strictly away from New Orleans when buying seeds.

This is our third order of you and everything has been O. K. We also wish to compliment
you on your Davis Prolific Seed Corn. We have been selecting our own seed in the field on
the stalk for several years and have developed at two-ear corn that is hard to beat. This
spring we planted a patch every row of ours, the other rows in the Prolific Corn, and up to
now we can’t tell them apart. This is the first time we have tested any corn that would
compare with our own seed.

Wishing success in furnishing the farmers of Louisiana with good seeds, we are very truly,

WHY YOU
SHOULD PLANT
SHOE PEG
SEED CORN!

TEN REASONS why you
should plant IMPROVED
SHOE PEG SEED CORN!

It is adapted to your section.

It is drouth and rain-proof.

It is weevil and bird proof.

It is a tremendous producer
of srain.

It matures in 120 days.

It is flinty, but not a hard
corn.

It can be planted as late as
June.

It yields two good ears to
the stalk.

It is grown in the South for
you.

It has been thoroughly tried
and tested.

IMPROVED SHOE PEQ CORN

Shoe Peg Corn is by no means a new breed or variety of corn. There’s scarcely an old farmer in the entire South

for this is STRICTLY A SOUTHERN CORN, who has not planted Shoe Peg during his life, and they all invariably prefer

this variety for general planting. Being a native Southern Corn, it is perfectly adapted to Southern conditions, such
as dry weather and wet falls. Most Corns stand lots of rain and dry weather, but the Shoe Peg gets ahead of these two
bad elements every time. We have known it to make a fairly good crop without any rain at all after crop was three
weeks old.

The ears of this variety turn down on stalk at maturity, causing them to shed water, while if they remain standing as many

corns do. water should run into the ear through the end, collecting around the butt and causing rot. At gathering time most corn

has weevils, but they are much worse on corn that runs out past the shuck. The Shoe Peg has shuck that not only covers the endL
but extends beyond; practically a weevil-proof corn. Seventy pounds of Shoe Peg Corn will shell less than fifty-eight pounds, but
no tests have ever been made showing such a low average. I offer you only the finest Shoe Peg Corn Seed obtainable. Selected
under personal direction of the breeder himself. I do not claim that this is a world-beater variety, but I do claim that it is one
of the best ALL AROUND SOUTHERN CORNS you or anyone else can plant.

The cob is medium in size, carries from sixteen to twenty-four rows of corn. Cob is red In color. This is a flinty variety, how-
ever, It is not as hard as some corn. Color of grain is white with yellowish tinge. While it contains some strawberry blood, this corn
is not as dark as the strawberry corn. I can truthfully say it is a milling corn of the HIGHEST QUALITY, and most excellent
flavor.

BEWARE OF DOUBTFUL 'SEED CORN I

Many planters go to their nearest dealer when the planting season is upon them and procure a few bushels of cheap Northern
Seed Corn to plant. When the crop is produced they begin to lose faith in the growing of corn in the South. Don’t go near your
general store when you anticipate planting seed corn. Tear the order sheet out of this catalogue and attach a money order or yoUr
check with it for whatever amount you want to plant, and I will give you the finest seed corn you’ve ever planted. I have devoted
lots of time to this one proposition, and believe that I know what I am talking about ail the time. I sell more thorough-bred pedi-
greed seed, alive with strength and vigor, adopted to your climate and soil, and will produce the biggest yield of grain and fodder
you ever saw.

I’ll tell you all about It on
another page. I want you to plant
some Shoe Peg Corn this year.

It averages two fine ears to
every stalk, and will yield more
than 60 bushels to the acre if
properly cultivated. Plant dur-
ing February. March. April and
May. It is a 120-day corn.

Planted as late as June with
good results. SOUTHERN

I have hundreds of testimoni-
als on file about this corn. They
are from good, honest, reliable
farmers who value their opinion,
believe me. They would not
write me such nice letters, if the
Corn did not make good with
them. But they know the Corn.

Every old farmer in the South
knows the good qualifications of

CUCUMBER SEED

I Pay the Postage

K there is one kind of seed of which I am justly proud it Is Cucumbers. I don’t think that there is better seed grown any-
where than what I offer to you. My strains are all thoroughbred, true-to-name and of high germination. When I offer you one
kind you can rest assured that the seed you buy will produce just one kind of Cucumber and not a grand mixture of all kinds.
All rny stocks are prolific, money-making, ard the very best that can be produced for the exacting gardener. I sell lots of my cus-
tomers as much as one hundred pounds of Cucumber Seed, and these same growers buy from me year after year. They don’t
experiment and try to get something better elsewhere. They know that if there is anything superior to mine. I would handle It.
1 am just as progressive as the next one, and am always trying out new strains, but they all have some faults, so I continue to offer
these thoroughly tried and proved sorts that cannot fail when properly cultivated. I have made a special study of the cucumber
industry in the South and have handled thousands of carloads during my thirty-five years in the vegetable business. I know
from actual experience the kinds that will grow well in the South and sell for good prices in the North. I strongly advise you
to give me your order, whether it is for one ounce or one hundred pounds. You cannot buy better seed from anybody. Each year
I go North and inspect my crops of Cucumber Seed. I personally see to it that the stock seeds are carefully selected; that the
sell has not grown Cucumbers the year previous; that isolation from fields of other varieties is practiced; that careful, critical
attention is devoted to their growing and to the elimination of all “off-types”; that the most modern and scientific methods are used
in harvesting the crop, threshing, washing, curing, cleaning, and testing the seed. I give you seed that is of the highest vitality
procurable I test this seed myself when it arrives in my store. I know it is good when I offer it to you. I feel confident that my
seed will please you. If you but buy from me once. I won’t have to urge you again. The quality will be remembered by you when
you think of planting again. My prices are right.

Culture — Cucumbers succeed best In a warm, rich, loamy soil. Plant in hills four to six feet apart each way. The hills should
be made rich with a shovelful of well decomposed manure. Plant 8 to 10 seeds in each hill, covering them about half an inch deep.
When the plants are well up, thin out to four of the strongest plants to each hill. The growers in the vicinity of New Orleans plant
Cucumbers in the open ground as early as February, and sometimes sooner, protecting them from cold by small boxes with a pane of
glass on top. These boxes are removed during the day and put back in the evening. Cucumbers are often started in hotbeds,
styled here as “Dirt Bands,” and planted out of doors just as soon as they are hardy enough to resist the cold. Hammond’s Slug
Shot and Tobacco Dust are the best remedies for the insects.

REUTER’S PERFECTED DA VIS PERFECT CUCUMBER

I don’t usually pay an extra amount of attention to one
single variety of seed. I endeavor to divide my time and try
to breed up all the strains that are lacking, and try to retain
the good, qualities of those that are perfect. Possibly I have
devoted too much time to this one variety of Cucumber. If I
have, it was not my fault. I simply could not help it. For years
I have been growing all kinds of Cucumbers on my farm in an endeavor to
get one variety that would answer all purposes. I have found it when I
planted this strain. It cannot be excelled in any way. It is far ahead
of anything I offer you, or anyone else can offer to you. I have a strain
that required more than five years of careful, continuous selection to bring
it up to its present standard of perfection. I can truthfully say that this
is the one money-making- variety that you should plant. No matter what
other kinds you grow, plant a few acres of this sort. If possible, put your
whole place in this one cucumber. You can make no mistake. It is not an
experiment. It is not a novelty that I am trying to get big prices for, but
it is a vast improvement on the finest cucumber ever introduced. It de-
serves first consideration when you think of cucumber seed. Notice care-
fully the small photograph on this page. Consider the uniformity in
growth, the splendid shape, fine color, and other good points too numerous
to mention.

When the original Davis Perfect was introduced to the Cucumber growers
in this country, it created a furore. But it had many faults, like all other
strains that are produced too quickly. My growers, who, by the way, have
been breeding cucumbers for about twenty years, readily realized that this
particular strain was worthy of lots of attention, and began to work in
making selections to improve it.

There were many cucumbers in the original strain that had too much
neck and showed many sports. The best specimens showed these faults.
So, they began seven years ago to eliminate the off-types and improve this
cucumber by going over the fields and staking specimens which were perfect
at their slicing stage. This continued for four years and resulted in this
“perfected strain, which I introduced to my customers three years ago.
Practically everything in the way of “off-types” has been eliminated, and
the neck has been bred out so that every fruit is shapely and holds its fine
cylindrical shape clear to the stem end. By using my Perfected Strain a crop
can be produced out-doors which can hardly be distinguished from green-
house stock. Mr. John Meyer, of Dalcour, La., operating the Promised Land
Plantation, who is, without a doubt, the biggest grower of Cucumbers in the
State of Louisiana, plants this variety almost exclusively, and has recently written me the following unsolicited letter: “Your Reu-
ter’s Perfected Davis Perfect Cucumber is the finest Cucumber I have ever planted. It grows large, uniform and the shap^ is ideal
Your strain can hardly be improved upon. Kindly book my order for one hundred
several of the big Northern seed stores, but cannot find anything near this strain.”
should be sufficient evidence that this stock is the kind you want.

This Cucumber has proved to be the biggest money-maker ever
planted by the Florida growers. I sell several thousand pounds In
that State alone every year. The same growers purchase this
strain from me all the time. They know what they are get-
ting. so they don't e.xperiment with other kinds so highly boosted
by unreliable seedsmen or merchants who do not know what
good cucumbers are. and live thousands of miles away from where
they are grown. I have traveled Florida several times, and have
made a study of this one crop. I know the kind, of cucumbers
the gardeners in that State require, and I offer this stock to
them unhesitatingly. It will please you if you try it. If you
want to grow early cucumbers for profit, order a few pounds of
REUTER’S EARLIEST OF ALL at once. It ' is an extra early
White Spine Cucumber of handsome shape, which it holds at
all stages of its growth. The color is a beautiful dark green,
with lighter spines running from the blossom end. It is smooth,
tender and crisp. Remains green on the vine, and after picking
it never turns yellow. It is a very hardy, robust, prolific grower,
and is free from disease. I have never seen an early cucumber
grow more uniform in size, color, and evenness than this one sort.
It is the Earliest, Smoothest. Greatest Yielder. and Most Profit-
able Cucumber on the market. I sell it only in sealed packages.

the finest strain of this vegetable on the market. I sell several hundred pounds of it every year to the most criti-
cal gardeners in the South. It is perfectly adapted to the South, and in this respect is the superior of the New

York Market, which is the standard variety in the North. No other seed store In this country can offer you this

particular strain of Eggplant. I handle it exclusively. The seed is grown for me from my own stock seed, which I

I furnish each year. I grow the stock seeds on my own farms each year, and in this way I prac-

tically control the quality of the Eggplant. Then. I personally inspect the seed crop while it is growing in
New Jersey. The conditions, both soil and climate, in this State, seem to be perfectly adapted to the highest develop-
ment of this vegetable. I eliminate all ‘'off-types. ” I see to it that the crop is properly cleared of all bushes that do not bear
proliflcly, or that are not true-to-name. If you are a shipper of Eggplants and grow them in any quantity, plant this stock. It is
not in its experimental stages. It has been grown in the vicinity of New Orleans for the past twenty years, but I have improved
it. by having a limited quantity of the seed grown here each year and then shipped to New Jersey to grow my seed. It is the
finest shaped eggplant on the market. Note the uniformity of the fruit Illustrated above. That is Just how they run, like peas in
a pod, as regular as nature can make them. This variety is the finest shaped eggplant in the world. They will carry witho.it
spoiling to any market in the United States or Canada. In this one respect it is far ahead of all other sorts. Then, the plants
grow large and high, sometimes as high as five feet, and bear the fruit entirely off the ground. None of the eggplants are ever
found lying on the ground. Its color is a deep purple, sometimes a little reddish, very large in size, oval in shape, and of the finest
quality. In flavor it cannot be surpassed. It is truly a remarkable keeper, and I have had them remain in my store for at least
two weeks after cutting and remain perfectly fresh, sound, and not the least rot showing. Being an upright grower. It resists heat
and drouth to a considerable extent, and is not affected by wet weather. They bear continuously, and seed planted here during
December will bfear eggplants as late as November of the following year. I can truthfully say that this is one eggplant that has
no superior. It has every requirement and qualification to make it the leading variety for market and home use. This variety is
entirely spineless. If you are going to plant your entire garden in eggplants, is this is your one important crop, you can plant this
seed and be assured that better stocks are unobtainable at any price. I believe that eventually it will be the Standard Variety
in America. Sold only in sealed packages. No one else can offer you the same stock, as I breed it, grow It. and sell it exclusively.

SPRAY EOaPLANTS WITH PYROX i

This crop brings high prices when it answers the demand of
the consumer — which is for quality. You cannot get quality In
"eggs” unless you protect the plant and fruit from the ravages
of bugs and blight.

Blight and mildew are serious enemies of this crop. They
attack the foliage first, but when the fruit from a diseased plant
is shipped it reaches the consumer in a half-rotten condition. One
such egg reduces the returns on the crate by a very large per cent.

The insect pests most commonly experienced are the horn
worm and the pint worm. They damage the foliage and ruin the
plant. One worm hole in an "egg” makes it worthless.

No crop is benefited so greatly by spraying as the eggplant.
No spray insures better results than Pyrox — practice proves Its
power as an increaser of quality and yield.

Directions; To prevent blight and kill insects with Pyrox be-
gin in the seed bed when the plants attain their first leaf. Ee-
peat the application every ten days or two weeks until the crop
is gathered.

Use Pyrox at the rate of one pound to six gallons of water
when low pressure is used or one pound to eight gallons when
light pressure is used.

SALSIFY, OR OYSTER PLANT

Culture — Succeeds best in light, well-enriched soil. Sow In
drills, about ten to twelve Inches apart and thin to three to four
inches in the rows. Should be sown in the fall of the year, not
later than December. Like Parsley. Salsify is improved by a
touch of frost

PARPEN CRESS

WATERCRESS — Highly esteemed as a salad, also for garnish-
ing purposes. This plant grows best in very moist land or on the
edge of shallow, runnig streams. Sow the seed thinly In shallow
drills in moist ground. When well started, transplant the young
plants to the borders of the stream or moist land where it is
to grow. The plants will spread rapidly and soon afford a good
season.

be sown early in the spring at short intervals, for succession, as
it soon runs to seed. It is a quick grower; leaves finely out and
feathery like a good parsley. Growth is dwarf and compact.

REUTER’S FRENCH LETTUCE SEED

VALUABLE
BULLETIN FREE

This Is the real live money crop In the South. I supply thousands of the leading market gardeners
and truckers with my seed. You can hardly believe that I sell more than 10,000 pounds of Lettuce Seed
every year. My sales last year were tremendous. Why? Because I have the bulk of my Lettuce Seed
grown for me in France. The World’s Best Seed Growers direct the production of more than 10,000
pounds of the finest Lettuce Seed for Chris. Reuter. During the fall of each year these growers forward
to my New York warehouse about 100 sacks of this superfine seed. The seed is tested and stored in this
big city, and shipped to me just the way I need it — always fresh, just filled with life and vitality and
quick to grow. My French Growers are real cranks about quality and are always trying to produce their
Lettuce Seed a little better than in this country. The result is that I am able to offer you strains that
are incomparable as respects quality, purity, uniformity of type and heading qualifications. In Texas
alone I sell more than 6,000 pounds of Peerless Big Boston Lettuce Seed annually. These growers depend
upon this crop for their existence. They spend lots of money and time in preparing their land and
fertilizing for this crop. Do you think for one single moment that they can afford to buy from any Tom,
Dick or Harry? How long do you think they would continue in the trucking business? These growers
take no chances. They buy the best and question no price. Competition has made them critical — not
cheap. They are always seeking better strains and types in order to produce a better product than their
neighbor so they can obtain top-notch market prices. The price paid for the seed is a secondary con-
sideration. All they ask for is a Lettuce that will produce a crop regular in type, heading characteris-
tics, maturity and growth. Everybody admits that I sell the best Lettuce Seed in the South — even my
competitors are forced to acknowledge this one big vital fact. Some sorts I have grown in California
by reliable growers. I carefully test all of my Lettuce Seed in my own laboratory before shipping it to
my customers, so you are always assured of Hi-Germinating Seed all the time.

Culture — Lettuce is sown here during the whole year by the gar-
deners. Of course, it requires a great deal of labor to produce this
vegetable during the hot sumer months, as Lettuce seldom, if ever,
heads well in hot wqather. We have found the following method of
cultivation the best: Before sowing, soak the seeds for an hour in

water; take them out and put in a piece of cloth or place in a cool spot —
under a cistern, or if convenient in an ice-box. Keep the cloth moist
and in two or three days the seed will sprout. Then sow thef. It is
best to do this in the evening, and give a good watering. The seen
should be sown broadcast, and when large enough, planted in rows a
foot apart, and from eight to ten inches apart in rows.

REUTER’S PEERLESS BIO-BOSTON

My strain of this famous variety has won the favor of
thousands of the most discriminating gardeners in the
South. Every year I check up the orders on this stock, and
the same growers buy from me year after year, truly a
tribute to my efforts to furnish them with a strain that
is a little better thna they can obtain elsewhere no matter
how much they may pay. It is the best heading variety
in cultivation, and so well known that an extended descrip-
tion is not at all necessary. It is a splend dishipper, hardy
and thoroughly reliable. The heads are large and solid.
My stock is sure to head. It never fails to produce extra
large, solid, heavy heads. I plant about twenty-five acres
every year on my own farm at Bohemia, and they surely
look good this year, alid the prospects are that I will make
good profit off the-crop. I planted the seed during Septem-
ber. I offer you both the French and California Grown
Seed. Possibly the former is a little better, but it is almost
impossible to get a better strain than the one I am having
grown in California. I have planted both strains on my
farms, and cannot detect any difference between them. If
you don’t mention what kind you want when you order, 1
always give you the California stock. Remember that you
canot buy better lettuce seed than this in any part of the
world.

REUTER’S FAMOUS TROCADERO— French Grown

The cultivation of this large heading variety, which for many
years has been limited to the New Orleans Market Gardeners, is
gaining popular favor in all sections of the South, and in many sec-
tions is the standard winter variety. The heads are very large and
compact, light green in color, and of excellent quality. It will stand

A grand acquisition that is creating a furore among our leading
truckers. Similar to our White Seeded Big Boston, but much hardier
and of finer quality. Its usefulness and value are identically the
same as our Peerless Big Boston, but is preferred by some market
gardeners, because of its ability to head during the most unfavor-
alDle weather and being slower to run to seed. Our stock is grown
expressly for us in France, and our famous seed growers claim that it cannot
be excelled as a heading variety. We have carefully investigated the merits
of tliis magnificent strain and throughly agree with our more experienced grow-
ers. Seed supply very limited. Order early.

I did not think it ncoes.sary to say anything about the quality of my Cantaloupe Seed until someone told me just how elieap
he could buy some llockyford Cantaloupe Seed direct from a grower in Colorado. This man started things. I was so confident that
he seed he had reference to was scrub stock that I gave him ten pounds of my best seed for nothing, requesting him to sow it along-
lide of the stock he purchased out of Rockford, and to advise me of results. He is to-day one of my best customers, and every year
buys about a hundred imiiuds of Cantaloupe Seed from me and never mentions price. He gets superfine seed and the price is right.
If you grow cantaloupes for market, it Is absolutely essential that you sow the finest grade of seed — saved from melons grown ex-
clusively for this purpose and selected for quality, not profits. Without the best seed from perfectly developed specimens, you
can only reap one harvest — failure. Don’t experiment. You can't afford to. Do you think I would buy 50 to 100 pounds of Rocky-
ford Cantaloupe Seed from a bouse that knows practically nothing about seed selection. I would investigate and endeavor to find
out if the seed they offered me was strictly Al, .saved from selected melons grown for this purpose only. It would surprise ycu to
know the amount of deception that is practiced in this seed business. Some seedsmen buy up the cull melons when the shipping
season Is over and endeuvor to sell this kind of stuff to you as Genuine Rockyford Seed. They clean up the field after the good
melons have been marketed. Just think of it! This, no doubt, surprises you. Well, it did surprise me when my attention was called
to it. I did not think It possible for any man to practice such dishonest methods to make a living. For goodness sake, be careful
from whom you buy your seed. It is a dollar proposition with you entirely. You leave the question of good seed with the uiaa; from
whom you buy, but you must pay more attention to your purchases than ever before. It is indeed a ticklish proposition to know
whom to trust. Whenever I look over my letter files, the amount of unsolicited testimonials on my Cantaloupe Seed make me feel
real good. Rig growers and Uttle ones, all say that my seed is the finest they have ever planted. Seed selection means quality. Clual-
Ity means profits to you. I give you all that you can expect both in quality and .selection.

« iillure — Melons thrive best in a light rich soil. Rich earth for the young plants Is far better than manure, but if the latter must
he used, see that it Is well rotted and thoroughly mtsed with the soil. Plant the seed In hills six feet apart each way, dropping ten
to twelve seeds in a hill. When up and all danger of insects has passed, pull out all but three plants. Cultivate until the vines cover
the ground, and pinch the ends of the growing shoots to induce early fruiting.

REUTER’S GENUINE ROCKYFORD CANTALOUPE

BURRELL'S GEM— SELECT SPRAY WITH PYROX

The tendency in these modern days is to produce some-
thing for big profits. That is one reason why this melon
is not more universally planted. The type has slightly
degenerated by lack of proper care and attention. It is
a tremendous money making variety, however, and hun-
dreds of the best truckers in Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi, and other sections have realized big juicy profits from plant-
ing this one sort. I do like to talk about rry strain of this one variety,
but I really think it is the finest in the world. It is grown by an
old seed-grower friend of mine in Colorado. He don’t grow for every-
body. He is not one of these big commercial growers who have too
much to handle and are unable to devote proper attention to selections.
This man grows for me only, and only grows this one variety. I han-
dle quite a few thousand pounds of it every spring. Then he is not
ambitious to get rich quick and is satisfied with the good price I pay
him for the seed. No matter from whom you may contemplate buying
this stock in the spring, at least purchase a few pounds from me and
compare it with the stock you are growing from seed purchased from
others.

It is an abundant yielder, often producing 15 to 25 melons to the
hill. The meat is rich golden color, very thick, and fine grained.
The flavor cannot be surpassed. The seed is closely held in place in
three lobes and do not easily shake loose. The rind is covered with a
closely packed gray netting, except the narrow strip between the ribs,
which is not netted. The blossom end is well protected. Note the
photo which is an excellent reproduction of one melon produced from
my seed. The shape is ideal, averaging six inches long and tapering
at the end. A splendid shipper, a good producer, and naturally a profit-
able sort. Buy your seed from me this year. You will then be one of
my 50,000 regular customers.

REUTER’S GENUINE ROCKYFORD CANTALOUPE

Far away iu the “Land of Abundant Harvests” I have
this melon seed grown. It is grown by farmers who
sell seed, not melons. They get paid well for growing this
extra fine seed for me, and don't have to worry about dis-
posing of their crop of melons. The market i>rlces don’t
intere.st them at all. All that they are worried about is
the quality of the seed they grow, endeavoring at all times to improve
the t.vpe, flavor, and growth. The strain I offer to you is better than
you have ever bought. It is superior in shape, size, flavor and shipping
qualities. A money-maker for the large grower of Cantaloupes in, the
South, who e.xpect to profit by growing this one big crop. I bave more
than 5,000 pounds sold for January shipment, a tribute to my strain, the
results of many year.s’ careful breeding and selecting.

This is the highest development yet attained in the
Rockyford Cantaloupe both in netting and rust-resistant
qualities. The melons appear as shown in cut. solid net.
the heavy gray netting being closely laced and interlaced
over the entire surface of the melon from the stem to the
well-developed blossom button. The length and thickness
as our seed crop runs this past year was ideal, fully ninety per cent of
the melons being' choice standard size. The meat is light green and
very deep; its flavor is not excelled by any of the green meat sorts
ajid none of them are better, if as good, shippers. It is highly rust-
resistant. Under favorable conditions, when other strains rust badly
the vines of this strain remain green and thrifty, continuing to blos-
som and set on fruits. The value, owing' to its quality, is very great, as
in many localities rust often destroys- the crop, and when other strains
have lost their quality on account of rust this continues to ripen
melons of the highest quality. Our seed is carefully selected, and only
the finest standard size, solid netted melons cut, in this lot of seed.

my best customers out to Colorado
and sUow them the wonderful w'ork
I am having done out in that glor-
ious state in the way of breeding
and selecting Cantaloui>es. It is
something worth while, and I know that you
would be interested very much in the methods,
and the process of elimination, the latter dls-
eards all melons that are not strictly up to
grade and quality. If there is one single fault
about the melon, whether it is in the si*e, fla-
vor, shape, or growth, it is discarded. My grow-
ers never take a chance on quality. They can’t
afford to and hope to supply me year after year.
They are just as critical in their fields, as I am
about testing my seeds in my store. That is one
reason why 1 get along so well with my growers
and my eustomers.

In my strain of Eden Gem you have a melon
that is of the highest development that is pos-
sible at present. In a few years I might he able
to offer you an improvement on, this strain, but
to-day there is none better, no matter how
much you may pay or from whom you are going
to obtain your seed. It belongs to the famous
Rockyforil family of Cantaloupes. A heavy
yielder. nearly all melons heavily netted, like

I LARGER YIELDS AND BETTER QUALITY WHEN YOU
SPRA Y WITH PYROX

For Cantaloupes if used early and often Pyrox kills Insects
that chew the leaves and prevents disease. It also has a marked
stimulating effect on the leaves, which are the lungs of the
plant. Where Pyrox is used the rich green color of the foliage is
very noticeable and the crop increases both in yield and quality.
It pays to spray with Pyrox, because this increase in yield and
quality will pay for the spraying many times over. Use one pound
Pyrox to six or seven gallons af water. It is important to spray
the under side as well as the upper side of the leaf. Spray as
soon as the plants break through the ground and repeat every
ten days until the cuchmbers have reached half the size you expect
them. Cantaloupes can be sprayed until two-thirds grown. For
Aphis and other sucking insects mix a good nicotine spray with
Pyrox and apply together.

A very popular melon in Texas, where it it cultivated to a

It is not a good shipper, and I don’t advise you to plant it if
you want to grow melons for profit. It will do all right for the
house use. or to bring to the local market. It is adaptable to a
wide range of soils and climatic conditions, and will often grow
when all others fail. Round, medium in size, heavily netted. Flesh
is green, very solid, melting and of delicious flavor.

REUTER’S NEW ORLEANS MARKET MUSKMELON

Photograph on Back Cover.

It is real hard to say which is the best variety of Muskmelons. They
are all good and I really like all of them, but it depends entirely upon
the individual taste. A great many people like a big muskmelon that
they can cut in slices, and for that reason I want to call your particu-
lor attention to my strain of New Orleans Market, which is undoubtedly
the finest large well-netted Muskmelon on the market to-day. It is a
great big melon and as sweet as sugar. Believe me, you'll like it im-
mensely, and for local trade it cannot be excelled. It is a melon that
will easily sell for fifteen to twenty-five cents apiece, no matter how
plentiful the small melons may be. I’m going to depend upon every one
of my customers to purchase at least a small quantity of this seed this
year, for we have an ample supply, although the seed during recent
years has been scarce. My grower, who furnished me with more than
5,000 pounds of this particular stock, is a thoroughbred grower, and
knows more about melons than I'll ever learn, no matter how long I
remain in the seed business. He knows the good melons from the
scrub inferior stocks, and follows my instructions carefully when
selecting. . ...

A melon largely grown by the market gardeners in the vicinity of
New Orleans for this big local market. For two successive years these
melons have been scarce on this market, and the growers obtained fabu-
lous prices for good stock. A very responsible gardener has grown
the seed I offer you, and I really think it is the finest seed leaving this
section. Of course, very little good seed is shipped out of New Orleans
unless I send it out. This is a vrey good melon for your local market,
being of large size, well netted, of the finest flavor and quality.

WATERMELONS

Sandy land with clay sub-soil recently cleared, or land of
same character that has been lyinpr out sufficiently long to be
free from grass seed, is good for melons. If desired to plant
other than the above a pea-sod is fine. I use cotton seed meal
tor fertilizer. Flat break your land in fall or winter. About
March 1st harrow the land well; check the land ten feet each
way. the way you expect to cultivate; run furrow with a 20-inch
solid sweep as deep as you can, then scatter about one-half pound
of cottonseed meal about 18 inches or two feet in check. If
barnyard manure is to be used scatter a peck as same as the
meal' in checks; list with four furrows; let stand till April 1st;
harrow the bed well, then plant 6 or 8 seed per hill; cover one inch
deep; plant with a hoe. It is a good plan to plant at intervals
until June 1st;’ plant every two or three weeks. Cultivate lightly;
as soon as plants are well up cultivate -every 10 days or two
weeks until vines are three or four feet long. I leave one vine
to each hill; do not plow very deep any time after planting. You
can have the best melons that grow by July 1st.

Selecting Tom Watsons for t/ly Seed. All My Watermelon Seed Is grown In the
I Sunny South

Every pound of my Watermelon Seed is grown expressly
for me in the Sunny South. I do not buy a single ounce of seed
in the North. I cannot afford to and hope to retain your trade
if you grow melons for profit. When you plant my
melon seed 5’ou are sowing stock of the highest quality, seed
saved from melons selected for seed purposes exclusively. My
growers are exacting — too much so, to grow melon seed for profit.
They eliminate all under-sized, poorly shaped melons, and feed
them to the hogs. Only the finest, choicest, most perfectly de-
veloped watermelons are left to remain in the field. Special at-
tention is also devoted to the breeding of the plant, clearing out
all vines that do no bear prolificly.

Of course, lots of Northern and Southern Seedsmen claim to
handle Southern Grown Melon Seed. There is just as much of this
worthless seed grown in the South as in the North and West.
I can buy all the Watermelon Seed I want in Florida for 15c per
[ pound. But can I get quality at this price? Would you grow
melon seed for me at loc per pound, and save the seed only from
i the finest mejons, only on vines bearing prolificly? Why, of
course not. You would want to charge me about fifty cents or
i' more for this kind of seed, and I don’t blame you. It is worth
ji every cent of this to select good seed. Not many seedsmen pay
I much attention to the melon seed they sell. Most of them sell
so little that it does not pay them to lose any time about selection
from pedigree stocks. I sell more than 20.000 pounds of Water-
melon Seed every year. Every pound of this seed is grown for
me under my own personal supervision in sections where each
and every variety will reach the zfenith of perfection and devel-
j opment. I know growers in Florida who handle fifty different
I varieties of Watermelon Seed and supply the biggest seed houses
in the South, East. North and West with this inferior grade of
seed.

Is it possible, Mr. Melon Grower, for any seed grower to
produce so many different varieties in his section and develop
' a seed that is absolutely true-to-type? Can all these varieties
of melons be raised within a radius of a few miles and the
pollen of one variety not be transmitted to another? It isn’t logical
and it simply can’t be done. I have my Watson grown in one sec-
tion of Georgia, my Kleckley Sweet in one section in Texas, my
Halbert Honey in another section in this grand big state, and so
on. There is no mixture. I pay my growers a sufficient price
for this seed to induce them to practice isolation and selection.
They must do it in order to keep my trade, and let me assure
you that it is something worth having. In some instances with
my big sellers I contract for the grower’s entire crop. I see to
it that the melons are the kind I want. Thousands of pounds
of seed are grown in Kansas, Nebraska, and other States. The
vines are rank in growth, the melons are rank in flavor and size.

I There is no uniformity, no sweetness, no perfect melons like the

Million Dollars Worth of Baby and Ten Cents Worth of Melon

ones you will produce from the seed I sell. I know some of the
best houses in this country who purchase this grade of seed,
and the grower of melons usually contends that good melon seed
cannot be obtained from a seedsman, and the only sure method
is to grow the seed yourself. Don’t deceive yourself into believ-
ing any thing like this. You try my melon seed one season, and
you will join the thousands of truckers who buy from me year
after year, not one pound, but hundreds, and never complain,
but always praise my seed. I can unhesitatingly say that I am
offering you Watermelon Seed that cannot be excelled by any
seedsman or grower in the world. This is not an idle boast, but
the seed will prove to you that I am right. Every melon pro-
duced from my seed will be true-to-type, of uniform size, and of
unsurpassed flavor. Cheap melon seed cannot be good. Don’t
experiment and try to save a few dollars when buying seed.
Forget the price entirely, and buy where you know you can get
more than a dollar’s worth of quality for every dollar you spend.
I stake my reputation on the quality of my melon seed. I think
it is one of the most important items I handle. If you grow for
profit, and plant a large quantity of seed, write me for special
prices. I will not, under any circumstances, sacrifice quality,
when quoting you a little cheaper on a larger quantity.

RUBBER RIND WATBRMBLQN

Warning! No one has the right to sell the seed
of the Rubber Rind without the consent of the origi-
nator, who has this name copyrighted.

The following description has been given to me
by Mr. Halbert, who originated this strain.

“Knowing the defects as a shipper of the first
melon I originated (the Halbert Honey) on account of its tender
rind, I went to work to produce a melon of equal beauty and as
good quality with a tough rind. After seven years of patient
labor, I succeeded in bringing out the RUBBER RIND three years
ago. and have it on the market this third year. It is decidedly
the handsomest melon in shape and color of all shipping melons.
Some will tell you it is as good in quality as the Halbert Honey,
and eaten separately you might think so, but when compared side
by side, which is the proper way to compare melons, you will
find the Halbert Honey the best in the world.”

The rind is very dark green, almost black, very thin and
exceedingly tough, almost as a piece of rubber, hence the name.
Shape oblong and quite large in size, weighing from 20 to 100
pounds in good seasons and nice soil. Flesh is dark red in color,
sweet and quite tender for a melon of so tough a rind. Seed,
large, mostly mottled with black and white but sorne seed are
white with dark rim around the edge. A cut shows their hand-
some shape. I can furnish you with hundreds of testimonials
and certificates from the best growers in the South praising this
one variety. It is a wonderful shipper, withstanding all kinds
of drought and -wet weather, a strong grower and will eventually
supercede all other shipping sorts.

Price, pkt. 5c; ox. 15c; % Ib. 40c; lb. $1.25 (prepaid).

HALBERT HONEY^Qrown by Halbert

For several years I have
contended that the Kleckley
Sweet is the sweetest of all
melons. This was before I
ROt acquainted with Mr. Hal-
bert and investigated the
merits of his Halbert Honey, whlcli is just
as sweet as the Kleckley Sweet and much
more regular iii form and more productive.

In quality it is simply delicious, sugary,

•and of a rich fruity flavor, peculiar to
itself. Entirely devoid of all fibrous sub-
stances, the sweet flesh melts away in the
mouth like so much honey. The hardy
vines are remarkably prolific. The crop
covers the ground, and it is no uncommon
sight to see four and five melons growing
in a heap together, one on top of the
other. It is quite early, a feature in itself. ^ . ., , ,

The melon is long in shape and blunt at HALBERT S HONEY— As Good as it Looks

each end. The rind is dark green in color, thin and brittle. Flesh tender and luscious, extra sweet, of blood red color, melting in
the mouth, leaving no strings or pulp. Seed white, with black tips, often black rim around margin and some have dark blotch in each
side. Medium in size, but in good sandy soil and plenty of rain will grow to 75 pounds and more.

My grower has devoted great pains to bring this melon to a higher standard of perfection, if possible, during the last few
years, and while other raisers for regular seedsmen have allowed the melon to run down and deteriorate. It is, therefore, to your
interest to buy from the seedsman who handles the originator's stock, which he is growing under his own personal supervision and
on his own farm. The high-class seed I offer to you is of the highest germination and guaranteed to be direct from the origi-
nator.

REUTER’S GOLDEN HONEY

Spray Your Melons With PYROX

Portion of Our Seed Crop of Alabama Sweet Watermelon

A beautiful, golden-flesh melon, one of the finest we have
ever tasted. The flesh is a beautiful, glistening amber shade
of yellow, very tender, and has a most delicious flovor, very
similar to that of the celebrated Halbert Honey Watermelon.
It is medium early, of uniform large size and oblong shape, and
has a very handsome appearance. The color of the rind is light
green, with mottled stripes. Some people are more or less ;
prejudiced against a yellow-fleshed melon, but this prejudice ■
will quickly disappear once you taste the Golden Honey. This !
melon has no hard core or stringy sections. The rind is thick
and the seeds are large and white, some of them having a small i
black tip. We believe this is one of the finest melons we have
ever introduced. We have only a small quantity of the seed 1
to offer this season, and, therefore, can only furnish it as long
as it lasts. Try this melon this year and I believe you will i
be more than pleased with it.

Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c; % lb. 60c; Ib. 2.00, postpaid.

HARRIS’ EARLIEST

An excellent variety, which ranks as one of the best early
sorts. In form, this melon is oval to oblong. Flesh, bright red,
sweet and tender. Seed black. Vines are vigorous and pro-
ductive. It bears shipping very well, and, on account of Its ,
extreme earllness, handsome appearance and exceptionally fine i
table qualities, it will always bring ‘a ready market at fancy
prices.

Price, oz. 10c; % lb. 20c; lb. 60c; 10 lbs. $5.00.

MclVER’S WONDERFUL SUGAR

One of the sweetest of Watermelons. The melon Is of i
medium size, elongated shape, and striped exterior. Rind thln,*|
and. on this account, is rather a poor shipper. The flesh is beau- j
tifully red, firm and solid. Vines are strong and productive. ;
It has become very popular for shipment to nearby markets, and
we recommend It highly. [

Price, oz. 10c; lb. 20c; lb. 60c; 10 lbs. $5.00. ,

REUTER’S ALABAMA SWEET (Grown In Texas)

A grand variety. The rind is dark green marked with still deeper green mottled stripe, and while thin it is very
tough, making the melon a first-class shipper. The flesh is bright red. fine grained, sweet and luscious, entirely string-
less and very firm. The seeds are white, slightly tipped with brown, and are firmly set in small cavities near the rind.
On September 29th our famous Texas Grower wrote us as follows: “I have your seed out and ready for' shipment. My

seed this year is the best I have had in several years — all saved from melons running twenty-two to forty pounds, and
m many instances melons weighing considerably more.’

KLECKLEY SWEET (Grown by Kleckley)

One of the most popular melons grown In the
South. It cannot be excelled for home use or ship-
ment to nearby markets. Vines are vigorous and
productive, fruits of medium size to large, often
weighing fifty pounds. Dark green skin,' very thin
rind, flesh bright scarlet with broad solid heart, the seeds are
nearly white and placed close to the rind. The flesh most crisp,
sugary and melting in the highest degree, entirely free from
stringiness. They are being shippd from one to six hundred
miles. Our stock is grown for iis by Mr. Kleckley and, of course,

IS of the highest quality obtainable.

REUTER’S TRIUMPH

Fruits large, nearly round; skin dark green, sometimes indis-
tinctly striped with a lighter shade. The rind is thin but firm,
making it an excellent shipper. Flesh bright red and of finest
quality. Our grower has improved this strain for a number of
years. In 1904 there were ten melons shipped to the St. Louis
Wrold’s Fair, which weighed more thgn 1,000 pounds, and they
won the Gold Medal on display. Melons often weigh over a hun-
dred pounds. Our strain is pure.

REUWR’S GENUINE WATSON {Georgia drown) iS^£i

10,000 lbs.‘Sold during 1914

Also known as "Tom Watson" Watermelon. A
long, dark green melon, growing to a good size, of-
ten weiglilng fifty pounds, as well as being a pro-
lific variety. Size ranges from eighteen to twenty-
four inches long by ten to twelve inches in diameter,
dark .green, flesh crimson, quality fine, thin rind, and
most excellent shipper. During the past four or five years this
melon has had a remarkable popularity.

Our seed stock of this Melon is absolutely pure. Grown
under the most critical system of cultivation and selection in a
famous Melon section of Georgia expressly for our trade. We
can unhesitatingly state that we are offering for sale seed of
the highest grade and purest quality. We pay more than twice
as much for this stock than we can buy so-called "Selected Wat-
son Watermelon" Seed in Florida. Thousands of pounds of this
kind of Melon Seed are annually shipped from that State. The
seed is usually taken from the culls left after the shipping
season is over. No selection is made as to type, no regard as
to size or earliness. Our strain is kept pure. A trial will readily
convince you that the price asked is low, considering the superior
quality.

Price, pkt. 5e; ox. l«c; % lb. 30c; lb. 90c; 10 lbs. $8.00, prepaid.

TRUE DARK ICING

A nearly round Watermelon with very thin rind. The seeds
are white. The flesh is solid and of delicious sweetness. An ex-
cellent market and home variety.

Price, pkt. oc; oz. lOe; ^ lb. 20c; !b. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.00.

NEW ANGEL KISS

This variety originated in Texas, and its popularity has now
extended throughout tfie entire country. It grows medium to very
large in size, often weighing forty to sixty pounds, and twenty-
five to thirty inches in length. The color is a silver-gray, hand-
some and attractive. It is a very strong and vigorous grower.
One distinct feature of this melon is that the flesh is a good deep
red by the time the seeds are formed in it, often before the melon
is really grown. It has few seeds, possibly less than any other
watermelon. A splendid sort for home use.

Price, pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 35c; lb. 75c; 10 lbs. $«.50 (prepaid).

ICE CREAM, or PEERLESS

A real fine melon for home use, notwithstanding lots of
poor weather, and ripens under the most unfavorable conditions
without rotting. It is not a good shipper, however, as the rind
is rather thin. I have quite a large trade for this particular
vai'iet.v in Louisiana. Many of the large sugar planters here plant
it in their home garden. The fruit is oval in shape, skin bright
green, finely veined, or mottled. As stated before, the rind is
thin, flesh bright scarlet, solid, crisp and exceedingly sweet.
Tou don’t want to overlook this sort in making up your collection
to plant this spring. Order a few ounces, or possibly a pound of
this splendid sort. The illustration on the side here is an actual
photograph taken on my trial grounds.

Price, pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; Yt lb. 35c; lb. 7,5c.

Note Carefully the Photographs

Actual photographs of the principal melons I handle. Every
one of these illnstrationa are reproduced from actual huna fide
lihotogrnph.s, either furnished me by the grower of the seed, or
taken from iiiy o%vn trial grounds where 1 test several hundred
varieties every year. There is nothing exaggerated almiit these
pictures. Just clean cut photos, showing the nice, clean, regular
lines of the melons produced from the seed 1 sell you. I live In
the land where the watermelon thrives. I am near the source of
prtMluction. I am where the watermelon reaches the zenith of
perfection. I know what good melons are. All summer I eat
them, because I like them, and my whole family are the same
about them. I don’t think anything Is better than a nice, ripe,
juicy, sweet melon. What do you think about Itf Agree with me?

PYROX INSURES GREEN, HEALTHY PLANTS.

Early spraying is essential. Use one pound Pyrox to seven
gallons of water. It is important to spray the under side as well
as the upper side of the leaf. Spray as soon os the plants break
through the ground and repeat every ten days until the melons
are two-thirds grown. It will increase the yield and quality of
your melons. It sticks to the foliage through heavy rains. It
saves labor — simply mix with cold water and spray.

BRANCH’S GENUINE RATTLESNAKE

The King of Watermelons

This melon surpasses all other varieties in qual-
ity and is a splendid shipper. It has netted good
returns in glutted markets when other varieties would
not bring freight charges. In quality and flavor this
melon is unsurpassed. Has a thin, but tough rind,
making it a good shipper. Flesh d^ep red, very sweet and deli-
cious. This strain has been kept pure for more than forty years
by Mr. Branch, of Columbia County, Georgia, who originated the
seed, and of whom we bought our stock.

This seed is of uniform quality, grown on a plantation of
1,-500 acres where only this variety is cultivated. So-called Rat-
tlesnake seeds are sold at lower prices than ours, but it is false
economy to buy such seed, and money, time and labor saved by
buying pure and reliable seed. It is without a, doubt the only
genuine Rattlesnake Melon Seed to be found in the United States.

Price, pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 30c; lb. 90c; 10 Ihs. $8.00, postpaid.

LONE STAR

A very popular sort in Louisiana where it is rather extensively-
cultivated by certain planters. This melon is above medium and
very uniform in size, a productive bearer, and oblong in shape.
The rind is mottled green and black color, somewhat like the Rat-
tlesnake, but a little darker green. The flesh is a deep red
color, solid, crisp and very sweet in flavor. In my opinion, I
think that my Georgia friend Branch has produced a great deal
better melon than this.

GENUINE BERMUDAONION SEED

GROWN AND SELECTED BY

T M.REID.Port OrotavaTeneriffe

EXPRESSLY FOR

CHRlS.REUTER,NEwORLEANS,LA.A(iENT

/ SOLD TWENTY THOUSAND POUNDS OF BERMUDA ONION SEED LAST YEAR — WHY ?

Last year I sold more than twenty thousand pounds of Bermuda Onion seed, or more than half the seed that was planted to
produce the great money crop of Southwest Texas. No other seed house in the world can boast of such a record. I not only sell
more of the big growers than any other seed house, but the little grower has come to realize that it pays him, as well as the larger
grower, to plant nothing but the very best seed — T. M. Reid's Genuine. This man Reid is a wonder when it comes to producing
virile Bermuda Onion seed. I know, for I have visited his farms in the Teneriffe Islands and I know how careful he is about
every activity in the planting and production of his seed. A lot of seedsmen who claim to sell first-class Bermuda Onion seed tell
you about how carefully the seed is taken from the tin boxes and recleaned and then shipped to you in sacks. There is none
of that line of talk with me. Mr. Reid won’t send me anything but carefully sorted and clean seed. He packs this seed in tin-
lined boxes. These boxes are put into the ships, landed in New York and come straight to me. I send these identical boxes
to you without opening or tampering of any kind, unless your order should be for a small amount, and in this case the boxes
are opened and the seed put directly into containers for shipment. Tlie seed is clean when it leaves Mr. Reid's farms and comes to
you clean and pure. If I can please the growers that produce more than half of . this great crop, don’t you think that the kind of
seed I supply is the kind you should plant? Fill out, right now, the special onion order sheet on page 65 of this catalogue and
mail it to me to-day. You can’t order too early, for I am one seedsman who positively refuses to sell anything but fresh, new
seed, and every can goes to you dated on the inside by Mr. Reid.

REID’S WHITE OR YELLOW BERMUDA ONION

This is the standard variety in Texas,
and is grown in enormous quantities in
this grand State for shipment North. It
is the most hardy of all sorts, very prolific,

less effected by disease, and will yield

more than any other variety. While known by the
growers of Bermuda Onions as white, the name is
misleading, as it is a light straw-colored onion. When
you order be sure to mention the kind you want. The
White Bermuda d.s mentioned here is not a true
white, and produces an onion that is somewliat yellow
in color. •

I sell more than 15,000 pounds of this magnificent
onion in Texas every fall. I control three-fourths of
the entire acreage. Reid’s strain runs remarkably
true-to-name and type, is well known for its solidity
and long keeping qualities. It ripens early, of the
best color, and the heaviest yielder of all. The most
successful commercial Bermuda Onion growers in
Texas plant Reid’s Genuine Bermuda Onion Seed, and
always procure it from Reuter.

Speeinl Note — Those intending to sow one or more
acres of Bermuda Onion Seed next fall should write
me for special prices for large quantities of seed. Be
sure to state just how many acres you contemplate
sowing so that I can make my price right to you. —

GENUINE CRYSTAL WHITE WAX

The most profitable variety of the Ber-
mudas. It is, without a doubt, the finest
onion in the world. It is absolutely pure
white of the finest flavor and quality.
These onions usually command from
tweniy-flve to fifty cents more per bushel than any
other variety of Bermudas, and when all markets are
glutted with onions, the Wax will sell at good prices
It is the ideal salad onion and is a great favorite with
the most critical trade of New York, Boston, Chicago
and other big cities. Be sure to plant this variety.
The seed supply is usually short, and the price is al-
ways high, but I have urged Mr. Reid to plant more
largely of this variety than all others so that I can
supply my Large trade. Mr. Reid says that it is a shy
seeder and often affected by disease. If you are going
to plant more than five pounds next year, let me book
your order now.

RED BERMUDA

AUSTRALIAN BROWN

This splendid extra early sort has
gained popularity in the South ow-
ing to its remarkable keeping qual-
ities. It is of roundish form, color
of skin is an amber brown, flesh is
white and firm, of mild flavor. The
seed should be sown in the South
during September and October, and
will produce fine bulbs in the
spring.

Largely grown in Louisiana, but not a
favorite in Texas. It is identical in size,
shape and mildness with my White (Yel-
low) Bermuda, and keeps better, but Is
_ not as saleable as the White. Grown to a

considerable extent for bunch purposes. A good
shipper and highly recommended for home use.

sold large quantities of our seed in that
state last season. Color is deep purplish
red, flesh white, moderate grained and
very firm. Yields enormous amount per
acre. Best variety for poor or dry soils.

paratively mild and well flavored.

Price, oz. 20c; % Ib. .50c; Ib. $1.75; lO lbs. 10.00. 1

A distinct variety that has been cultivated in this section for
many years. It is the most important sort planted in this sec-
tion, and hundreds of corloads are annually shipped from here to
all the Northern markets. Skin is brownish red; flesh very solid
and fine grained, and rather strong flavored. Extremely produc-
tive and the best shipper and keeper of all varieties. It is the
greatest Onion for the Southern grower and is rapidly becoming
more popular throughout the principal onion-growing sections.
Matures a little later thon the Bermuda seed. Our stock is
grown expressly for us under special contract, and will please the
most critical.

Culture — Peppers are mostly used for seasoning meat and vegetable dishes; also for making cho'w-chows and chili sauce The
culture is about the same as Eggplant, and the plants need as much heat to perfect them. Sow seed in hot beds in December and
January, and transplant them when the weather moderates, in rov/s about two and one-half feet apart and two feet apart in the
row. Cultivate and keep free from weeds. Sow in June for a fall shipping crop.

hardeners in the South, and extensively cultivated in some sections for market |
purposes.

REUTER’S RUBY GIANT ■

If I were asked the best pepper to grow for profit, I would say plant Ruby
Giant. It is a great improvement over my Ruby King, but retains all the good
qualities of the former, but is much larger in size. My seed stock is extra fine,
as is usual with all of my seed. There is lots of money in growing early peppers.

I grow them every year on my farm, and last year they netted me quite a nice
profit. I planted liuby King the past yar, but the pt^aise from all over the
country about luby Giant is a great inducement for me to try our this strain, '
which I think will eventually supersede the original variety. It is a new
variety — a cross between the Chinese Giant and Ruby King, the size of the former
and shape of the latter retained.

SWEET, POT AND MEDICINAL HERBS

Every garden should contain a few herbs, as they are useful in many way*; some possess culinary as welU as medicinal
properties. -

Most of the varieties tlirive best in rich, mellow soil. In all cases the soil should be carefully prepared and well cultivated, as

the young plants are for the most part delicate and easily chol-
after which rake finely and give a gentle pressure with a board or

BUG DEATH.

All of our Seed Peas are grown for us in the far
North from the finest stocks, which are bred up by the
most careful growers, who are specialists in the grow-’
ing of this famous vegetable for seed purposes.

IMPORTANT — Prices on Peas include Postage on packets,
pints, quarts, and gallons.

Culture — The ground should be manured the previous year, as fresh manure
will produce a rank growth of vine and they will make only a small and uneven
crop at the same time a poor quality of peas. Late Peas, such as Telephone. Black
Eye Marrov/fat, and Large White Marrowfat, can be successfully grown in a mod-
erately heavy soil; as. if sown in too rich ground, they will not bear much of a
crop. The early varieties can be planted in the months of August. September,
October and during January. February and March. The Marrowfats we plant in
November. December and January for a late crop, as they will stand more cold, also
bearing longer than the early sorts.

EXPERT GROWN IN THE FAR NORTH EXPRESSLY

SELECTION poR CHRIS. REUTER— TRUE STOCK

I have confined myself to snpijlying the growers In New Orleans with Seed Potatoes for thirty-five years, and never had a
complaint. Ninety per cent of the truckers in this section rely on my seed for their annual Potato crop. I only handle those varieties
that are especially adapted to our climate and soil. We sugest Triumphs, Irish Cobblers and White Stars. These sorts are the best
for shipjjing to Northern markets.

The prices mentioned are based on values e.-«isting at the date of going to press with this catalogue. We would, therefore,
suggest that you write us for special prices when ready to buy. Correspondence solicited.

Culture — The i30tato requires a rich sandy loam. The best fertilizers are thoroughly decomposed stable manure, cotton seed meal,
or raw bone meal. Always select good size and well-formed potatoes for spring planting, cut each tuber to two or three eyes to
each piece; plont in drills about three feet apart in order to cultivate them properly. Potatoes are planted here from the middle of
December to the latter part of March. However, the most reliable time for a general crop is to plant the latter part of January to
the end of February.

They are also brown successfully ni the South for fall crop. The tubers should be planted during August ond September. They
slmuld not be cut if planted at this time of the year; if cut, the potatoes are apt to rot, therefore all the small potatoes or cullings
should be used from the spring crop for seed stock. i, 2T ^ ' 8

Reuter’s White Star

BLISS EARLY KED TRIUMPH

Earlier and better than the Rose. A grand
sort for early or main crop. This is the favorite
red potato in this section. It is extremely early,
round, reddish, thin-skin potato; eyes slightly
depressed and of medium size. Its great beauty,
productiveness and superb quality makes it a
most profitoble market variety.

There is one good reason why the Triumph
should be in demand throughout the South. It
is fuly ten days earlier than any other variety
planted in this section. That often means a dif-
ference of many dollars in the crop. I urge
you to plant liberally this spring, for there
will surely be an unlimited demand for potatoes
not only in America, but thousands of bushels
will be exported to the warring nations in
Europe.

SWEET POTA TOES

Pyrox Pays

Next to corn, the sweet potato is the most vital food crop in our Southern lands. Plant the potatoes early in the spring in

T)i'epared ridges, and cut the vines from the potato when large enough and plant them out; another method is to start the potatoes

in a bed prepared expressly for that purpose, and slip off the sprouts as they come up and set these out. The latter method
will produce the earliest potatoes, while others who set the vines say that they make the largest tubers. In preparing the land,
the soil should be thoroughly pulverized, the ridges should be 3 to 5 feet apart and the plants 14 inches apart in the row. Culti-
vate sviff iciently to keep the surface soil loose and free from weeds, and the vines will soon cover the ground, after which no
ciiltivation is necessary. After the plants come up and begin to make vines freely, pieces of the vines are removed and used as
cuttings, taking root and growing the same as plants grown from the seed. Dig the potatoes before a heavy frost occurs; a

liglit one will do no harm. About seven thousand plants are usually set on an acre, and it will require a barrel of good seed to

produce this amount of slips. Tlie principal varieties are:

PUMPKIN YAM — Excellent in quality,
and productiveness. Skin and flesh yel-
low and sweet. Best for home use.

Culture — Sow in the fall from August to November, and in the spring
from January to May. It is generally sown broadcast. Parsley seed
germinates very slowly, taking two to four weeks to come up; hence,
if planted early, no time should be lost by delaying.

Plant One Ounce to 25
mils. Best Sorts for Stock
Feeding and Table Use.

Culture — Pumpkins are not S'O particular in regard to soil as
Melons or Cucumbers. They should be planted In hills ten to
twelve feet apart and cultivated the same as Melons and Cucum-
bers. Avoid planting too near other vines.

REUTER’S MAMMOTH KING

THE NEW “PLANET, JR.” WHEEL HOES AND CULTIVATORS

Wheel Hoes, with their attachments for culti- ~

vating, hilling, furrowing, covering, etc., are among
the great labor-savers of the age. They not only
make the care of all rowed crops a pleasure, but
enable a man to care for five times the area that
can be done by “the man with the (other) hoe.”

They are built substantially for all-day work by
an able-bodied man, yet they are adapted to the
strength of a boy or woman. The Double wheel
Hoes, while they work equaly well between two
rows of plants, are especially adapted for straddling
one row, working close up to both sides of the
plants, until they are 20
inches high. The Single Wheel
Hoes are rather lighter than
the double, and while the
wheel can be set on the side
of the frame, enabling botn
sides of one row to be hoed
at one time, yet they are best
adapted for working between
two rows of plants. The full ,
complement of attachments to
either the Double or Single

RADISHES

PRICES INCLUDE POSTAGE

Radish Seed Is quite an Item with me, as I sell about ten tons every year to a most critical class of gardeners. These growers know
what good radish seed Is, and that Is why I get their orders year after year. Then my prices are right In line with the quality I
give you. My Cincinnati Market, Chartler, Early Long Scarlet Top, and Scarlet Globe are grown for me In Michigan by a most reliable
man, who Is a crank about quality. These strains produce very early and the quality Is the best procurable. The other
varieties mentioned below are grown In France by that country’s best seedsman, and are raised from transplanted roots only. I recognize
the vital Importance of good radish seed, and my strains are famous throughout this section for their uniformity of size, shape and their
bright attractive color. Pay me a little more, but you get much better seed, which means a more profitable crop.

Culture — The best results are obtained from a rich, loose, moist soil. Radishes are sown in this latitude the whole year, but
during the summer months they require frequent watering to make them grow quickly. The Long varieties are usually planted by
the local truckers for summer crop. The Turnip varieties are planted in the fall and spring. Can be sown in drills twelve inches
apart. Our gardeners usually sow them broadcast.

REUTER’S EARLY SCARLET TURNIP, WHITE TIPPED

The most profitable market gardeners’ variety. We sell
tons of this seed to the most critical growers in this section,
and our stock cannot be surpassed. The truckers in New
Orleans have nothing but the highest praise to say about- our
strain. Medium in size, very uniform and round in shape,
briglit scarlet in color, with a distinct white tip, flesh white and of the
finest quality. The scarlet is unusually deep and affords a very distinct
and pleasing contrast with the large clear white tiji,

A highly selected strain for Market Gardeners.

This superior Radish was bred up by the Glass Gardeners
near Cincinnati; and no finer long Radishes go into any market.

It is the standard market Radish in a number of Southern
trucking sections, and is, without a doubt, the most profitable
long variety in cultivation. Skin is scarlet colored, very thin, the
flesh crisp, brittle and of delightful flavor.

We are proud of our superior seed, and have sold large quan-
tities in Long Beach, Gulfport and other trucking centers. Our
strain is far superior to the ordinary kind sold by Northern

SALSIFY, OR VEGETABLE OYSTER

One of the most desirable winter vegetables. The roots cooked
are very palatable and nutritious and are served in a variety of
ways. The flavor is similar to oysters. Salsify succeeds best in
a light, well-enriched soil, which should be stirred to a good
depth. Coarse and fresh manure should be avoided, as it will
surely cause the roots to grow uneven and ill-shaped. Sow early
and quite deep, giving the general culture recommended for
parsnip. The roots are perfectly hardy and may remain out all
winter, but should be dug early in spring, as they deteriorate
rapidly after growth commences. Frost does not injure the roots,
but before the ground freezes a quantity for winter use may be
stored in a pit or in a very cool cellar.

M.VM.MOTH SANDWICH ISLAND — This variety is large and
srtong growing with long, smooth, white tapering roots, and is
less liable to branch than the other sorts. Tops grassy. It is in-
valuable for market gardeners’ use.

One of our own distinctive introductions and one
that has proved of the greatest value to our market
.gardeners and truckers. Florida truckers, who grow
for the earliest market, .grow every season hundreds
of acres for shipment to the large Northern markets.
Being earlier than any other squash, it readily com-
mands high prices, and has proved quite a profitable
variety. It is ten days earlier than the Early White
Bush, is of the same bush growth and about the same
shaped fruits, except that the scallops are not so
pronounced, the squashes being better filled out and
contain more flesh. The vines are of the true bush
form, two feet high, of vigorous growth, giving the
plant great producing power. If you grow for the
earliest market, or if you want the earliest squashes
in your garden, you must grow Earliest Prolific.

REUTER’S REDFIELD BEAUTY

1 suggest that you try my strain of this
well-known tomato. It is not necessary for me
to elaborate on its description, for I think that
it is too well known in the South for me to
speak of its good merits. Taken from every
possible angle. Reuter's Redfield Beauty is a
grand tomato for the Southern Trucker, and is making good
in Louisiana. Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Texas and other
Southern States. The fruits grow in clusters of three to five
fruit, and is as regular in size and shape as it is possible
to produce. The color is its leading attribute, being a
gloss.v red. the kind to make tomatoes sell at sight and
make you long for a good tomato salad when you see them
in the markets. It la-tains all of its good qualities until
picked. A good shipper, less liable to rot in transit than
any other sort. The skin is tough: the fiesh is solid.

1 recommend this grand sti'ain to m.v market gardeners
and friends and feel no hesitancy when saying that it wlil
lu'ove a success in your garden and make good for you as
it has done ff>r me. This special strain comes to me direct
from the originai breeder in Michigan and rny stocks this
yeai- are rather limited, so urge early orders.

TOMATOES

My Seed is grown expressly for me by seed
growers who grow for seed only. I
do not use Canning Factory Seed.

DO YOU PLANT GOOD
TOMATO SEED?

Two years ago I was
on a train going to Chi-
cago to attend tiie Seeds-
men Convention, and
through accident be-
came acquainted with
one of the leading can-
ners of Tomatoes in this
country. He was not
aware of the fact that
I was in the seed busi-
ness. but by casually
referring to a nice field
of Tomatoes near one
of the railroad stations,
he became interested
immediately. and ad-
vised me of his busi-
ness. He was a very
interesting talker, and
during the course of the
conversation mentioned
to me the name of one
of our leading seedsmen,
a firm known from one
coast to the other, who
IS BUYING HIS RE-
FUSE SEED every year.
You can readily imagine
my surprise when this
was told to me. I could
not for the moment re-
alize how a firm with
so much money and so
much reputation should
degrade itself by stoop-
ing to buy such trash,
and offer it to their cus-
tomers for good seed.
Later in the season I
bought a packet of
every variety of Toma-
toes this firm handled,
and the, result was as I
expected. None true-to-
tvpe. inferior quality,
poor germination, and
the grandest mi.xture I
have ever seen. This is
criminal to sell a good,
honest farmer seed of
such a character when

you know it is absolutely worthless. To be good Tomato Seed, the plants must be bred, they must be grown exclusively for this
purpose, the fruit must be carefully graded and selected, the vines that are not prolific eliminated. This makes the seed cost high,
but what is fifty cents difference in a pound of seed to you, when one pound will plant about four acres, or it means you are paying
about ten cents an acre more for seed that you can rely upon to produce a crop of Tomatoes that will be uniform in growth and
maturity, prolific, and of the finest quality procurable. I do not attempt to compete in prices with cheap Northern and Southern
seed houses that make a bigger profit off inferior seed by selling at ridiculously low prices than I can on my high-grade stocks.

’REUTER’S PEERLESS JUNE PINK TOMATO

It Is earlier than the Earllana, as smooth and as handsome as the Stone, as solid and seedless as the Ponderosa,
rn<>re prolific than all of them, and will eventually be the Standard Early Tomato in this country. Of my own lntr€>duc-
■JkirTTui^W fiou. a strain just ns pure as nature can. produce It. It is a great Improvement over the Pamous June Pink which
created a tremendous popularity for itself when first introduced. The color is pink, the growth resembles the Earllana,
and by an unexperienced grower tbe difference can hardly be detected, unless planted side by side, when this variety
will show Its superiority in every feature. The vines are compact, and branch freely; the fruits grow in clusters and are
of fine .size. It is one of the fiiBcst tomatoes I have ever seen, and I have handled many carloads of tomatoes. This is one variety that
ha.s made good to stay, and shonlfl be thoroughly tried by every this famous vegetable. My seed Is grown- in New Jersey,

and is a.s clean and pure as it is possible to grow seed. I will bank my reputation on this variety to produce the finest crop you
or I have ever grown. If you don’t find this tomato all I claim for it. money will be refunded without a word. I have several hun-

dred letters on file praising this variety, although I only sent it to ® limited quantity of my customers last year for trial purposes.
They all sent me nice letters about it, and pral.se it to the skies. That is why I am so confident that it will make good for you.
Note the beautiful fruit produced from tbe same seed I am offering you. Didn’t they look dandy? Order some of this seed now.

account of its great solidity and superior flavor, har-

REUTER’S PEERLESS RED ROCK

The Tomato with a pedigree. A variety that has
made good all over this wliole country. For ship-
ping, canning, or home use, it is the ideal sort, as
it has every quality to put it at the head of all big
tomatoes. It requires about one hundred days to
mature properly. The color is the thin.g that counts.
It is solid and absolutely free from excess of water, which often
proves detrimental in some of the best sorts. It is a tremendous
producer, and one of the finest shipping tomatoes I know of.
Twenty-five to thirty tons of fruit have been grown on a single
acre. If you grow for the canner, plant no other kind. It is one
of the finest and most showy tomatoes I handle Has a very
strong vigorous vine, thus protecting its fruit from the excessive
sun heat so effective on Tomatoes in the South. My grower has
Improved this particular strain to such an extent that I really
believe it is far superior to the original Red Rock, which was
introduced to the trade a few years ago.

It adds to your profit and not to your expense.

REUTER’S BONNY BEST- Early

Note the Illustration. Looks mighty
good, don’t it?

A Tomato that has the
country. This is a most
endorsements of nearly
every Agricultural Exper-

iment Station in this
meritorious sort, and de-
serves the careful consideration of
every practical trucker who is growing
tomatoes for the money there is in
the crop. Even though you are thor-
oughly satisfied with the variety you
are now growing, order an ounce or
so of this splendid sort. It will be
worth the few cents you expend, and
may prove a valuable investment for
you. It has many advantageous fea-
tui-es that make it an ideal tomato for
our Southern clime. It produces an
abundance of foliage, thus protecting
its fruit from the heat of our semi-
tropical suns. It is about ten days
earlier than our Early Jewel, and al-
most as early as our Famous Earliana
and June Tomato. It is indeed a most
vigorous grower, enormously prolific.
The color is intense, velvet, glowing
scarlet red. It will ripen evenly to
the stem end with cracking. It is ab-
solutely immune from most tomato
diseases. In shape it is roundish, and
slightly fattened at the stem end, but
thicker through than most other to-
matoes in its class.

It is an all-around good early toma-
to. The seed I offer is the best pro-
duced.

PYROX INSURES HEALTHY PLANTS

For Tomatoes, if used early and often, Pyrox kills insects
that chew the leaves and prevent disease. It also has a marked
stimulating effect on the leaves, which are the lungs of the plant.
Whre Pyrox is used the rich green color of the leaves is very
noticeable, which results in a large increase in the crop, both in
yiled and quality. It pays to spray with Pyrox, because this in-
crease in yield and quality will pay the spraying bill many times
over.

DIRECTIONS — Mix Pyrox one pound to six gallons of water,
where low pressure is used, or one pound to eight gallons of water
where high pressure is used. Spray the under side as well as the
upper side of the leaf. The first spraying should be given in the
seed bed when the plants first come up to kill the flea beetle.
Repeat every ten days while the plants are in the seed bed. This
results in a more vigorous plant and prevents the leaves from
getting yellow hen the plant is set in the field and makes the
crop a week or more earlier. The first spraying in the field
is given a few days after the plants are transplanted to protect
them from potato bugs. Sepeat just before the plants begin to
fall down or about the time of first blossoming. A third spray-
ing in the field should be given when the first tomatoes are about
the size of a half dollar. Should damp, muggy weather prevail
or the fruit worm be troublesome in your locality, another spray-
ing should be given just before the first fruit begins to ripen.

REMEMBER Pyrox kills insects, prevents disease and adds
to your profit by increasing yield and quality.

SPRAY YOUR TOMATOES WITH PYROX!

Crystal Springs, Miss., Sept. 26th, 1914.

I used Pyrox to spray my Tomato crop this year and I am
well pleased with the results. It is a specific for the destruc-
tion of the Colorado beetle.

TURNIP SEED

Spray With

Pyrox

The South is growing more Turnips now than ever before, and will continue to cultivate this valuable crop more and more right
along. It is easy to grow good turnips. They require a good. deep, rich soil, and should be sown before or after a rain, while the
ground is moist, as on the strength of the early growth depends In a great measure the success of the crop. The fly is very
destructive to the turnip crop, especially during warm, dry weather, and frequently they will eat off an entire field, as fast as
the young plants make their appearance. The best plan is to sow an abundance of good, virile, healthy seed at the rate of two
or three pounds to the acre, and if the plants are too thick in the drills, thin them out by hoeing, or with a light harrow if sown
broadcast. As soon as the plants form their rough leaves, they are safe from the attacks of the fly; but, should the crop be
destroyed, loosen and harrow the ground immediately and resow at once. Don’t delay. The best marketable variety I handle is my
Peerless Purple Top Globe. It is the finest strain in this world. I think so anyhow. The gardeners here start sowing turnips In
June until November for fall and winter; and January, February, and March for spring and summer use. Some of them sow all
the year. Often they are sown broad-
cast and are not thinned out properly,
resulting in poorly shaped roots. Try
to avoid this if you can. Give each
turnip enough room to grow. If you
sow them in drills, about sixteen
inches apart is sufficient. Thin the
plants out to stand six inches, and as
the plants grow, ridge up to them,
otherwise they will form no bulbs.

I handle about thirty thousand
pounds of good turnip seed every year.

Every pound of seed is grown for me
ica. When you buy and begin to com-
pare prices, remember the REUTER
QUALITY, and my turnip seed cannot
be fairly compared with the stocks of-
fered cheaper by most seedsmen. My
turnip seed will always grow and pro-
duce good bulbs. The seed is always
of high germination, true-to-type and
absolutely unmixed.

WE HANDLE ONLY ONE GRADE OF GRASS AND CLOVER SEEDS.

The best grade and quality obtainable. We endeavor to sell Grass and Clover Seeds of the highest grade and often we are unable
to compete in price with irresponsible seedsmen who quote low prices with little or no regard for quality. The tendency is to
cheapen the production to such an extent that it is utterly impossible to produce seeds of superior quality at such low figures.

The stocks we offer are grown expressly for the best trade and can be absolutely relied upon in every particular. Our first and
only consideration is quality, and then we figure our prices. We are confident that it is impossible to obtain better grass and clover
seed than ours at any price.

It is the poorest economy in the world for a farmer to buy cheap seed. The first cost of seed is a small item when compared
to the time, labor and expense of preparing the land for seeding, and then sowing worthless seed which will not germinate, or if
it grows at all, the per cent of germination is so small that no stand is secured and the whole thing is a total loss. Often cheap seeds
contain a large percentage of noxious weed seed, which often prove detrimental to the land, and may require many years to eradi-

Curing Lespedeza Hay

A legume. A Southern Seed. Grows anywhere:
is tenacious in any soil; lasts always; well known in
the South. We recommend sowing a bushel to an
acre, broadcast, as soon as all danger of frost is
past, about February or March, or it may be sown
in the fall. For pasture it is necessary only to scarify
the surface of the ground with a disk harrow, and it will often
grow well without any previous preparation of the soil. Old
lespedeza meadows may be revived by an annual disking during
December and January before the seed is much sprouted.

It endures heat and drouth without injury, and stock eat it
greedily. It is an annual of low or creeping growing habit,
though on rich soils it becomes of upright growth, furnishing
an abundance of hay and pasture. It is also a great plant for
enriching soils, as it will grow on the poorest of soils, and
thrives on soil where no other grass or clover would grow. Its
great value for pasture comes largely from the fact that it comes
late in the summer after other clovers and grasses are dried out.
and continues to grow throughout the hot summer until killed
by frost. There is no question now but that Japan Clover is one
of our best leguminous plants, and farmers in all sections of
the country are beginning to realize its value in building up old.
worn-out soils. While it is a soil builder and renovator, its value
for both pasture and hay should not be overlooked. It makes the
finest quality of hay. When the soil becomes so poor as to refuse
to grow all other Clovers or Grasses, sow Japan Clover. In fact
the quickest way to reclaim such soils is to grow Soy Beans and
Japan Clover on them.

As stated. Japan Clover, unlike all other Clovers, seems not
to have any choice of soils. It grows luxuriantly on wet, sour
soils, on sandy soils, on poor clay soils, on rich lime soils, and
found growing in poor clay gutters.

Japan Clover and Bermuda grown together makes a fine
pasture for our hot summers, resisting the hot dry weather and
giving good grazing when and where all other clovers and
grasses completely fail.

YOU SHOULD PLANT LESPEDEZA

In many parts of the South the farmers are on the verge of
financial ruin — wrought by the boll-weevil, soil exhaustion, high
money rates, and being forced to go West and North for their
feed. This mighty serious condition is not local, but general
throughout the entire South, and the one-crop farmer is begin-
ning to look the facts straight in the face and realize that some-
thing must be done.

The farmers in the South cannot continue to farm the way
they have been for the past twenty-five years. The big brutal
facts of to-day, in so far as farming is concerned, are that we are

in a period of transition from the old, ruinous, single-crop system
of farming, to a better and more profitable system of diversifi-
cation and stock raising. Many of us have not as yet realized
that such a change is apparent, but it is irrevitable and must come.

We must practice better methods of cultivation, raise several
crops each year, improve our impoverished soils by proper rota-
tion and scientific cropping, grow plenty of grasses and clover
crops, plenty of Corn. Oats. Barley, Wheat, Lespedeza. etc.

The future of the South is in your hands. Will it be a barren
field with an occasional crop of Cane, Cotton, Rice? No. It will
be one of many silos, many big barns, plenty of cattle, hogs, corn-
fields, lespedeza. oats, good meadows and pastures. This change
will not come all at once, but gradually we will arrive at the
point when we must evade planting one crop, and practice in-
tensified farming and live-stock raising. This will be the foun-
dation of the wealth of the South, and will mean the upbuilding
of a bigger, better, and more productive land, where the farmer
will live and grow rich, as they do in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, and
other crowded Northern and Western States.

HOW AND WHEN TO PLANT LESPEDEZA

Sow one bushel to the acre just as soon as all danger of
frost is over, usually February or March with us in Louisiana.
Sow it broadcast on growing grain. If sown on sod, I recom-
mend first scarifying the land well with a disk harrow in order
to give the seed a good seed bed. Old Lespedeza pastures may
be revived by yearly disking during December. January and
February before the seed is much sprouted.

SOILS BEST SUITED TO LESPEDEZA

The best crops are secured on good soils that have a con-
siderable percent of fine silt. However, the plant will thrive
on almost any kind of land. It likes a soil that affords plenty
of moisture, but with good surface drainage. It does remarkably
well on the poorest kind of soils and continually improves these
soils, while producing lots of good wholesome hay for the
cattle.

Bloat in animals from grazing on Lespedeza is unknown.
The stems and leaves are succulent like Clover. Again, the
growth comes on slowly in the spring, and the animals graze
grass with it, but even when pure Lespedeza is grazed, I have
never known ill effects to follow. Like other clovers, however.

Taken from every angle, Lespedeza is therefore the ideal
clover to plant in the soring. It enriches the soil. The hay is
rich in protein, and is greedily eaten by all live stock with no
waste in feeding and no ill effects upon the cattle. It does them
good instead of harm. It makes them more healthy, more whole-
some, and better stock. It requires reseeding about once every
three years. If the crop is harvested real early, the second
growth makes a good crop of seed. Then, you can take your time
about harvesting it. The harvest time extends from about August
the 15th until the last of October. We usually have ideal weather
conditions in the South during these few months, and it is gen-
erally fine hay-making time. Then again, it cures quickly,
since the stems contain a low percent of water. In fact it si
more easily and quickly cured than any other hay crop.

The price is $4.00 for one bushel, and if you want to plant
as many as five acres the price will be $3.75 per bushel. I expect
a big increase in the price before spring, as the acreage in
Louisiana has been considerably damaged by unfavorable weather
conditions. Put your order in to-day. You have everything to
gain and nothing to lose. You cannot get as good Lespedeza
Clover Seed cheaper than this from anybody, and when you buy
from me you have the satisfaction of knowing that you are
getting the highest quality procurable.

L

ALFALFA, or LUCERNE
{Medicago Sativa)

The King of all hay crops. A peren-
nial. and where once set it becomes es-
tablished. With proper management,
it will continue to grow and give re-
markable returns for years. It has
done more to develop this country
than all the other riches of the land.
Its use as a forage crop increases every
year, and the crops of hay which it
produces are adding immensely to the
wealth of the country. It produces
heavy crops continuously for many
years, and will pay more net profit
than any other crop that can be pro-
duced with an equal outlay of money
and labor.

Alfalfa will thrive on almost any soil but a wet one. It is the
dry land forage plant. Its drouth and heat-resisting qualities are
due to the tremendous development of its roots. These have been
known to reach the almost impossible depth of 100 feet. These roots
tap the water supply beyond the reach of other plants, and alfalfa
will remain green when other plants dry up. The plant does not
spread from the roots, but from the crown above the ground.

ALFALFA

When the plants first appear above the ground they present a tiny appearance and
make rather a feeble growth until the roots get a good hold on the subsoil. Altitude does
not seem to affect the growth when other conditions are favorable, for it thrives from sea
level up to 8,000 feet above the sea. Alfalfa will stand almost any amount of surface
drouth, but there must be underground water, a damp but porous soil, which the roots
may reach.

The fall months are the best to sow Alfalfa in the South, although it is planted almost
the year round. The best time for fall seeding is after the rains have put the ground in
good condition and there is still time for a good sturdy growth before cold weather
sets in. Fall months are the best to sow Alfalfa in the South, although it is planted
almost the year round. The best time for fall seeding is after the rains have put the
ground in good condition, and there is still time for a good sturdy growth before cold
weather sets in. Well-established strong rooted Alfalfa will withstand the more vigorous
climatic conditions, but very young plants may be seriously injured by a slight frost or
killed by a severe freeze.

The soil should be made exceedingly firm before attempting to- sow Alfalfa. Great
care must be taken so as to plow and prepare the soils so as to prevent both washing
from heavy rains, and to have the land so that no water will stand or remain for any
time on the seed or young plants. Soils that have become worn out. or exhausted by
constant cultivation of crops must be fully reclaimed and a sufficient amount of plant
food restored. In many Southern States, where the soil is well worn out by the continued
cultivation of Cotton, such soils should have at least two crops of cow or stock peas
grown on them before attempting to grow Alfalfa. Hence, it is important to have the
soil thoroughly prepared, so as to secure a perfect stand at once, while the young plants
ire slow in their first or early growth; yet, when once they get hold they will take care
Df themselves against all we^s that may attempt to grow.

As stated before, the best time to sow is in the fall. September, October and Novem-
ber are the best months to sow in this State. There is, however, one difficulty, which is
that it frequently happens in the South that the weather is dry in the fall and there
.8 not enough moisture to cause the seeds to germinate. When this is the case, the next
best time to sow will be in the spring, commencing in February and ending in April. Sow
twenty-five to thirty pounds of our New Re-cleaned Alfalfa Seed to the acre. The best
seeder for sowing the seed is the wheelbarrow seeder, which distributes the seed evenly
ever the surface.

Alfalfa should be cut when in full bloom, and after the first year cuttings may be
caade at intervals, according to the growth of the plant. As many as six cuttings have
been made in one season. When curing the hay do not let it get wet. and do not handle
;t any more than absolutely necessary. Too much handling will cause a loss of leaves,
which constitute the most valuable part of the hay.

Reuter's Peerless Alfalfa

This is about the best grade 1 han-
dle. My Peerless Brand Alfalfa is noth-
ing but plump and fine colored seed,
free from anything else. The seed is
selected from the best seed produced.
I will gladly send you free sample of
this seed if you desire to purchase.
When writing for sample, state quan-
tity of seed you desire to buy. Twenty
to thirty pounds are usually sown to
the acre. The demand for Alfalfa in
the South has been increasing year aft-
er year .and our present supply of this
superfine seed, though large, may not
fill the orders I will receive for it this
season. It is suggested, therefore, that
orders be sent in as early as possible.
We do not handle more than one grade
of Alfalfa seed, but we do handle three
different and distinct kinds. If you
contemplate buying large quantities of
Alfalfa or any other Farm Seed, let me

PERUVIAN ALFALFA

Superior to All Others.

A new variety of Alfalfa that has been introduced Into the
Jnited States by the Department of Agriculture from Peru. It Is
t long season variety, especially adapted to the Southwest. Its
■ather unusual growth, quick recovery after cutting and continued
growth throughout the winter in favorable climates, results Tn
;he production of one or two more cuttings of hay each year
;han are yielded by the alfalfa commonly cultivated in the South.
;t is equal in feeding value of any other, and is subject to the
same conditions of soil and moisture. It is a very vigorous
jrower and its nature or ability to grow in temperatures about 10
legrees lower gives it a longer season on which it claims recog-
lition, making a large yield of hay and furnishing pasture in
.Vinter. The temperature at which Peruvian Alfalfa ceases to
; ?row is about 48 degrees Fahrenheit, while that of common alfalfa
: s about 57 degrees Fahrenheit. My grower says it will stand
two or three feet high in February. It has given entire satisfac-
;ion wherever it has been tried, except in occasional instances
.vhere the soil or preparation of same were at fault. The only
)bjectlon ever raised against it worthy of any consideration is
;hat it grows coarse, which it will do if your stand is thin. But,
vith a good stand, it is not at all objectionable in this respect,
ind is less inclined to become woody than other varieties.

This wonderful New Alfalfa has taken Southwest Texas by
storm, and the number of inquiries and orders for this seed is
sufficient evidence that we won’t have near enough seed to go
iround. Better send in your order right away, or you'll be dis-
ippointed. I obtain my supply of seed in the country — the re-
iable and trustworthy farmer who is supplynig the United States
Department of Agriculture at Washington right along with the
seed for experimental purposes. My seed is the purest and clean-
sst obtainable, and Is the GENUINE PERUVIAN ALFALFA SEED.
BEWARE OF SUBSTITUTES! Don't risk planting this great crop
without being absolutely positive of your seed.

NEW MEXICO ALFALFA

New Mexico produces a very fine grade of Alfalfa. The seed
is exceptionally large and of high germination. New Mexico
Grown Alfalfa is extremely hardy and is preferred in 'Texas and
other Southern States to seed obtained from other localities. I
have a very extensive trade in Texas for this particular Alfalfa,
and anticipate selling about 100,000 pounds in that State alone this
fall, where plants have endured the extreme cold winter and the
hot weather of the summer. My experience, covering a period of
several years, convinces me that New Mexico Alfalfa is the best
for all purposes, and I am urging my customers to plant it ex-
tensively. Our stocks are not extra large on this splendid sort,
so I urge early ordering. This seed is offered so long as my
stocks remain unsold at the prices named.

TURKESTAN ALFALFA -Imported

Seed of this Alfalfa collected in Asia by Prof. N. E. Hansen, of
the South Dakota Experiment Station, was sent out several years
ago by the United States Department of Agriculture. The climate
of Turkestan is not unlike that of our interior States, being far
removed from the ocean and surrounded by wide expanses of
dry land. The summers are very hot and long, and in many places
the evaporation exceeds the quantity of moisture that falls during
the year, and this is the place where Alfalfa grows and flourishes.
My seed is genuine, for I Import it myself, and take no man’s
word for it but my own. It is absolutely free from Dodder and
Yellow Trefoil. It is perfectly hardy, withstands drouth, heat and
cold. The introduction of Turkestan Alfalfa into the United States
by the Department of Agriculture at Washington has easily been
worth millions of dollars to the farmers in this country.

BURR CLOVER {Medicago Maculata) — Write for Free Booklet

A clover that has won Itself favor with the leading farmers In Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. The demand
the past year has been tremendous, and I was not able to fill my orders. It is an annual, producing a plant of rather creeping in-
stead of upright growth. It makes both hay and pasture, and its greatset value is as a winter and early spring pasture. Its growth
is very good, even on the poorest kind of land. It can be planted with perfect safety, as it can be easily eradicated. It is a legu-
minous crop, gathering nitrogen from the air and. after furnishing winter grazing, leaves the soil in better condition for succeed-
ing crops.

Burr Clover Seed is produced in small prickly pods wound up spirally into a ball. The Southern Grown Seed is always sold
“in the burr,’’ as it is, without a doubt, the best seed. They do not require inoculation, whereas the California Hulled Seed does,
and the Southern Grown Seed will produce a crop more hardy than the other, resisting frosts that destroy the Cleaned Seed .1

usually advise my growers to plant, about fifty pounds of the unhulled seed to the
acre, and about fifteen pounds of the cleaned seed. I can supply you v/ith both
stocks, and when ordering always advise what kind you want. If you intend to
plant the Hulled Seed, don’t fail to order some Farmogerm to innoculate. It is not
necessary to innoculate the Unhulled Seed, as the burrs carry the nitrogen bacteria.
Sow in the fall or spring. It is a good plan to sow it on Bermuda sod in Septem-
ber and October, just when the Bermuda is giving out or becoming woody. The
clover will grow right with the Bermuda, so that the combination will furnish
excellent pasture both winter and summer. The. clover in the winter and the
Bermuda in the summer. Once established, it reseeds Itself, and improves in
growth and appearance each succeeding year.

CRIMSON CLOVER ( TrifoIIum Incarnatutn)“‘BookIet Free

This is a variety of clover that has attracted a great deal of attention in the
cotton region for the past few years, but the position which it will finally hold
is still uncertain. It does remarkably well in Louisiana. Mississippi, and other
Southern States. It is an annual which begins its growth with the autumn rains,
often giving good grazing from November to April, when it matures its seed and dies.
On favorable soils it reseeds itself, even though the ground be plowed and used
for short summer crops like millet. Every farmer ought to plant a few acres
in Crimson Clover. Its value is tremendous, being the best early forage and soil-
improvii.ig crop I know of. Plant during August, September, October, and Novem-
ber at the rate of fifteen to twenty pounds to the acre. It is very desirable to
plant it either just before or just after a good rain as otherwise a poor patch often
results. It thrives best on loose, sandy soils, and does not make a satisfactory
growth on stiff or wet, or poorly drained clays. It does well on poor lands, and In
this respect is better than Red Clover, adding mere fertility to the soil than any
other Clover. It is very valuable to grow with other crops, and is often combined
with Rye, Oats, and other grains, and planted in the fall by our planters. Sowing
may be made in both corn and cotton fields. It is not hardy for more than one
season and must be sown every year. Innoculation is of high importance and many
failures are doubtless to be attributed to a lack of the proper bacteria.

WHITE BOKARA or SEED CLOVER {Melllotus Alba)

This is sown and used quite largely in some sections as a
forage and soil-improving crop, and is particularly valuable for
thin lands or to sow on hillsides that are liable to wash or gully,
and it also gives the inoculation necessary for the best success
with alfalfa. Sor feed or forage it should be cut when quite
young, for when it gets old cattle do not relish it, and it is not
of very high nutritive value. It is also largely used for sowing
for bees. Can be planted in the fall and spring with good results.
One cutting can be obtained the first year and three cuttings
the second. Resembles alfalfa considerably.

RED CLOVER ( TrifoIIum Pratense)

This variety of clover is more commonly known in this coun-
try than any other. It has been grown over a wide range of the
United States from our earliest history of agriculture, and in
recent years has Invaded our Southern States with very good
results. It is grown alone for both hay and pasture, and in com-
bination with other clovers and grasses. Fifteen to twenty
pounds of seed will sow an acre. In my climate it is usually
sown in the fall and early spring. It is then either pasture or
cut for hay the following summer, then plowed up in the fall.
Should a farmer grow wheat and corn on land regularly until
the plant food had become exhausted, then attempt to grow
clover, by sowing on wheat or other grains in the fall, the results
will not be at all satisfactory. It is adaptable to a great variety
of soils, but does best on good, well-drained clay loam, in which
lime is a prominent constituent.

WHITE DUTCH {TrifoIIum Repens

This is a small, hardy, perennial spreading Clover. While it
makes fine pasture, yet it is of too small growth to permit of
its making hay. It is frequently sown with other clovers and
grasses where a fine pasture is wanted. For mixing with lawn
grass it helps to establish a quick permanent turf, grows about
four inches high and is hardy under all conditions. When sown
alone use twelve to fifteen pounds per acre, but when sown with
other grasses and clovers, hajf this amount will be sufficient.

ALSYKE CLOVER (TrifoIIum Hybridum)

Comes from the little province of Alsyke in Sweden. One
of the hardiest varieties known. Under ordinary conditions It
grows from one to two feet high. Very valuable for pasturage
and soiling. When grown alone the treatment for Alsyke is the
same as Red Clover, and the hay is similarly cured. It is one of
the best varieties to mix with Timothy. It will withstand almost
any amount of freezing, also a very good resister of drouth and
wet alike. It, is unequaled for growing on wet. marshy soils
where no other variety of clovers will grow. Sow 10 lbs. to the

MAMMOTH, or SAPLING CLOVER (TrifoIIum Medium)

Also called Pea Vine or English Clover. Similar to Crimson
Clover, but of ranker growth and blossoms three weeks later. It
will grow on many soils, where the small Red would prove a
failure. It will grow on poor clay soils, on sandy soils. In the
stony woods, and will grow farther South than will the June or
Common Red Clover. Where Clover is to be sown for turning
under for soil improvement, the Mammoth is by far the best
variety, as it not only roots much deeper, making a wonderful
root development, but its tap root acts as a sub-soller, thus
putting more organic matter in the soil than can be had from
the June or many other clovers.

There has been a lot of talk and writing about reducing the cotton acreage of 1915, and some want to prohibit the planting- of
even a single acre. Right now it is too early to say just what is going to be the outcome and just what the acreage is likely to be,
I, for one, am not going to presume to tell you what to do. It is my humble opinion that you are able to decide this matter
for yourself, without any forced advice from me. The only thing I can tell you is that if you are going to plant cotton at all, that
it will be decidedly to your advantage and to the size of the crop, also your market next season, to secure your cotton seed from me.
It you plant cotton you certainly want to produce as much of it p er acre as possible, and with a minimum of labor and trouble. 1
haven’t any four-bales-to-the-acre cotton to offer you, for I sell only seed that I can back up with my good name and reputation,
but if you are searching for the best seed cotton obtainable, seed that will do all is claimed for it, and nothing freakish or impos-
sible, in the claims, then you will make no mistake by ordering from me. I therefore urge you to keep constantly in mind: Reduced

Acreage, Better Seed and Intensive Cultivation. Take your choice of the following varieties:

MITCHELL’S RE=IMPROVED EARLY KING COTTON

80 BALES FROM 80 ACRES

875 Pounds of lint cotton from best acre was the yield of field shown here, crop planted in boll-weevil territory. Mitchell’s Re-Im-
proved Early King Cotton Seed planted in this crop. Mitchell’s Re -Improved Early King Cotton Seed (North Carolina grown and Im-
proved) Defies Iiisect.s, Boll-Weevil, Frost It successfully combats pests and unfavorable seasons. It has the greatest known power of
earliness, prolificacy, large yield of lint. It laughs at frost and whips the boll-weevil and all other insects to a frazzle, taking on fruit
enough to make a bale an acre in the first thirty days of fruiting time. Under favorable conditions it has produced l,C40 pounds of lint
cotton on one acre. Under the most favorable conditions it will produce better results than the ordinary seed does under the most
favorable. Mitchell’s Re-Improved Early King Cotton Seed is broad double lim be double boiled, and a mass of squares, and some
to spare, matures first bloom in 60 days, full grown bolls in 90 days, first picking in 120 days. The early maturing variety has solved
the boll-weevil problem. Mitchell’s Cotton, planted in June, 1912, on overflow land actually showed open bolls 90 days from date.
Think of this marvelous record.

No more danger from Boll-Weevil, Mitchell’s Re-Improved Early King Cotton Seed too early and too prolific for them. Small boll,
short staple, very early, very prolific — “the safe, sure, sane” variety for boll-weevil territory.

MITCHELL’S RE-IMPROVED EARLY KINO COTTON
HAWKINS’ EXTRA EARLY PROLIFIC

CLEVELAND BIG BOLL PROLIFIC

Since its introduction this cotton has been very
generally gxown throughout the Cotton States, and has
unquestionably put Itself in first place with many of
our most progressive cotton planters. It has large bolls
and good fiber, which measure often from 1 inch to
1 1-16 inches. Very early in maturity, about forty per
cent lint: aarries less foliage than most other varieties. It does
remarkably well in Louisiana, Mississippi, and other Southern
States. It is practically free from anthracnose. suffering less than
most big bolls. The stalks are branching in growth, with five or
six primary limbs; the first limbs are long and begin near the
ground, an essential feature in early cotton. 1,350 pounds per acre
has been gathered from it this year by September 11th, on strong
bottom land.

SIMPKINS’ PROLIFIC COTTON

My seed comes direct from the originator, Mr.
Hawkins, in Georgia. Why plant scrub seed when you
can take the best cotton in the world, such as Hawkins’
Extra Early Prolific Seed, at a small cost per acre and
can more than double your yields. Get new seed, adopt
the intensive system and make more in farming by
planting this wonderful cotton. This is the earliest, most prolific,
easiest picked, and most superior lint and finest staple; tall grower,
long tap-root, resisting drouth; from two to four limbs near the
surface, branching; two short limbs, together all the way up to the
top, all literally covered with bolls; light foliage: large boll, small
seed, light gray or dark green, yielding 38 to 40 per cent lint; opens
well, growing much taller than other varieties, giving every advan-
tage over other varieties in yield per acre. On the short fruiting
limbs of the Hawkins Cotton, near the bottom and the middle of
the stalks, will be found growing two bolls opposite each other on
the same limb, and very often eight or ten bolls can be covered with
the span of the hand on the same limb, and is called by many cotton
growers a DOUBLE- JOINTED COTTON, and is well adapted to all
kinds of soil. With judicious manuring, quick and rapid culture up
to fruiting time, cotton will grow three bales to the acre planted in
HAWKINS COTTON SEED. It has received the nrst prize at the
Georgia State Fair. Every sack of this seed bears the brand of the
originator, and none is genuine without. Tour order is shipped direct

FORAGE CROPS

Tested as to Germination

EVENTUALLY YOU WILL PLANT THESE CROPS I WHY NOT NOW?

Each year of late has seen a large increase in the acreage of the South devoted to forage crops, hut 1915 is going to see a re-
markable increase over any previous year. Along with the great movement for diversification that we’ve been forced into, the
planting of forage crops will come in for its share. And this is right. As the acreage of forage crops increases so will the general
prosperity of the Southern farmer increase. All agricultural history proves this. The farmer in the Northern Corn Belt has not
suffered from the effects of the war as the cotton farmer — the one-crop farmer — has. Purely aside from the cash that the Corn Belt
farmer got for his corn, he is, and has been, in good shape, because he did not put all his eggs in one basket; he did not rely

solely upon corn; he had hay and forage crops for his stock and did not have to buy feed; he had his orchard and garden and stored i

and canned his fruits and vegetables; he had his pork and sausage and lard put away for future needs; he had chickens and eggs
and turkeys and ducks and geese that kept him from going hungry and saved his grocery bills; he diversified, in other words, and
forage crops form one of the strongest links in the chain of sensible diversification. The Southern farmer, particularly the one-
crop cotton farmer, cannot change over night into an entirely new system, as some of the long-distance, all-wise advisers would
have him do, but he can begin to work towards the new and more profitable goal, as thousands of farmers have already begun, by

iig up giadually the plan of diversifying and producing at home a living for his family and for his live stock, and he cannot i
start better nor in a cheaper way at more profit to himself than by planting plenty of Sorghums, Kaffir Corn, Milo Maize, Sudan
Grass, etc. The increase in feed crop acreage, the increase in corn acreage, the increase in live stock production, all along with

a decrease in cotton as a one-crop proposition, a cutting down in the use of commercial fertilizer and buying less from the other

fellow and raising more at home, is unquestionably the salvation of the South agriculturally and economically. The common-sense
planting of one or more of the excellent and thoroughly adaptable forage crops listed on this and following pages will prove an eye- '
opener to any farmer who has not yet planted feed crops. And to the farmer who has tried out forage crops, I, nor no other man,
need to urge him to plant again this season as many acres as he is able and his method of farming justifies. I say to you plant forage
crops! Plant those that appeal to you best, or those that are more adapted for your use — but plant them. And if you can find
a seedsman in this land who will suply you with better forage crop seed — real quality for less than I charge — I’d like toknow
about it. I’d like to buy my supplies from him. Keep that word quality in mind — I never lose sight of it when I prepare to supply

my customers. — Chris.

HAIRY, or WINTER' VETCH (Vlcia'^Villosa)

Makes one of the largest yielding and most nutritious hay
crops. It Is also a valuable soil-improving crop, rivaling cow-
peas in its nitrogen gathering properties.

It certainly deserves more attention than has been given to
it during the past few years. Last year the demand was tre-
mendous, owing to the favorable results obtained and the praise
given it by every Experiment Station and publication in the
South. Recent tests on my own farms convince me that a planter
makes no mistake in selecting this valuable forage crop, and
eventually it will be as common in the South as Alfalfa is in
the North.

Don’t be afraid to sow plenty of Hairy Vetch. No matter
if you have never grown it before, sow a few acres in it this
coming fall. Make up your mind that you will plant a section
of your ground this coming planting time in this thoroughly
tried out and proved soil-improving crop. It has proved to pro-
duce heavier growths and greater yields than Crimson Clover, Red
Clover, Burr Clover. Vetch is high in protein content, is a good
hay. pasture and valuable soiling crop, and its mojre general
growth will aid in the development of the live-stock industry
and remove much of the existing necessity for buying hay from
the North. Vetch as a cover crop cannot be excelled. Like all
legumes, it improves the land by adding nitrogen and organic
matter to the soil. As it grows through the winter and spring
and may be harvested in time to plant corn, cow peas, and
sometimes cotton on the same land, it should be used in building
up impoverished soils and In maintaining the productivity of the
land. The Vetch crop does not require horse or man labor at any
time, when this is needed for the cow pea crop, except possibly
at the harvest time of the cow pea hay.

The greatest value lies in its fertilizing powers, due to the
fact that, like other legumes, it is able to use the free nitrogen
of the air through the air of bacteria which live in the nodules
on roots. When plowed under, the plants decay quickly. A ton
of Hairy Vetch hay contains about fifty pounds of nitrogen, while
the roots and stubble, including the nodules, contain approxi-
mately one-fourth as much more. The best time to sow is during
August, September and October. The earlier the start the bet-
ter for winter grazing. It has been sown as late as December
HAIRY OR WINTER VETCH in Louisiana with excellent results. If the Vetch gets well started

and is inoculated, there is little danger from any hot or dry weather that may occur in the fall, but it should have itme to become
firmly rooted before cold weather sets in. Late fall-planted Vetoh sometimes suffers from dry weather in the spring much more
than the earlier fall-planted and better rooted Vetch. Use one bushel to the acre when sown alone in drills, and about one and
one-half bushels when sown broadcast. When sowing be careful not to plant the seed too deep. If you intend to combine your
Vetch with Wheat, Rye, or Oats, use only about thirty pounds. The yield of forage varies from ten to fifteen tons per acre, equal
to three to four tons of dry hay. On land that has never grown Vetch the best results are obtained by inoculating with Farmogerm.

GIANT BEGGAR WEED

This is a valuable forage plant and a wonderful restorer of
the land, far more valuable as a fertilizer than either Peas or
Clover, and superior to either for forage in many sections of the
South. Once established it comes up annually without any further
attention. It interferes with no crop you may want to plant, be-
ing easily kept under by cultivation, and it can be totally eradi-
cated from the soil by two years’ successive pasturing, his fea-
ture, too, adds to its great value for some very valuable forage
plants, such as Johnson Grass, Bermuda, etc., become the worst of
pests when you wish to devote the land on which they are estab-
lished to the cultivation of other crops. This plant is a rank
feeder — with deep feeding roots — and brings up from the sub-
soil the dormant fertilizing elements deposited there for years,
and leaves them on the surface. If your ground is too poor to
grow anything worth while sow Beggar Weed. For forage it is
equal to any good hay plant, although not sufficiently bulky
for use alone in filling a silo. Its greatest value, however, is as
a grazing plant for late summer and fall. All kinds of stock rel-
ish it and make rapid gains in flesh while pasturing on it. Old
worn-out horses and mules when turned into beggar weed pas-
tures will get sleek and fat without further attention. You
make no mistake when you plant a few acres in Giant Beggar
Weed. The seeds are light and small. Sow about ten pounds
broadcast on land in the same manner as you would Oats, and
plow under in like manner. Plant in June. It grows four to
eight feet high, very erect. Yields from one to two tons to
the acre.

Prlcea, prepaid, Ib. 70c; 10 lbs. $8,30; 100 Iba. 50.00.

One of our best luguminous soil enriching crops. Planted
both in fall or spring. Is very much like the Hairy Vetch in
growth and habit, and is used for the same purpose. It is not
quite as hardy as the other sort. It grows three to five feet;
slightly later than the Villosa. Frequently planted in cotton
fields, and in the early spring is turned under. We usually sow
two bushels to the acre.

Price, IK 20c; 10 lbs. $1.50; bu. $4.00; 100 lbs. $8.00.

BUCKWHEAT

A desirable and profitable crop for spring sowing. It is
easily grown, makes a splendid flower food for bees, and a large
yield of grain. It is prized as a poultry feed, being regarded as a
stimulant to egg production, and when ground is profitably fed
to hogs and other stock. It is also an excellent fertilizer and
soil improver. Should be turned under like Cow Peas. Plant one
bushel to the acre. ...

Japanese — This variety yields very largely and is earlier than
the common sorts. Grain large. Plants are of branching char-
acter and the stiff straw stands up well.

Produces enormous heads, measuring 15 to 20 inches in diam-
eter. Seeds are highly valued by farmers and poultry breeders
who have tried it as an excellent and cheap food for fowls. For
poultry it is the best egg-producing grain known. 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 on any waste
piece of ground during the early spring up to the middle of July.

FORAGE CROPS BEST FOR THE SOUTH

PEANUTS

The Peanut Is worthy of more general cultivation throughout
the South, especially in the boll-weevil district, where it will in
many cases be found more profitable than cotton. The Peanut
is a soil builder and renovator. If included in the crop rotation
and properly handled, peanuts are not exhaustive of soil fertility.
The tops of the peanuts make fine hay, relished by all stock, while
the roots furnish rich food for both man and stock. Our best
soil is one of a sandy, loamy nature, which has a red clay sub-
soil, as this indicates lime, which is essential for this plant.
They yield forty to one hundred bushels to the acre, according
to how well the crop is managed. Peanuts should be shelled
before planting, but can also be planted in the hull 16 to 18
inches apart. They should be planted from March until June,
In rows about 2% or 3 feet apart, dropping the nuts 8 to 10
inches apart, one in a hill. Cover one or two inches. Cultivate
three or four times with a cultivator, so as to loosen the earth
and keep down the weeds. When they mature, pull them up,
turning the roots to the sun. In bright weather they will be cured
sufficiently in twenty-four hours. It requires two bushels in
hull to plant an acre.

WHITE MAMMOTH PEANUT Qenuine

This variety grows to an enormous size and does extremely
well in the South. It is the largest Peanut ever Introduced.
The pods measure on an average of 2% inches in length and 1%
inches in diameter. Thick shelled and deeply ridged. The ker-
nels are of light color, 1% Inches long and one-half inch in diam-
eter. Although of wonderful size, its productiveness is still more
w'onderful. It is known to yield on an average of one gallon
of peanuts to one kernel planted, making it the most prolific
and largest peanut known.

Price, lb. 50c; gal. $1,25; not prepaid, peck. $1.75; bn. 0.00.

SPANISH PEANUT

In addition to their value for growing for the nuts, these
are very largely used in the South as a forage and fattening crop
for hogs and other stock. They are early to mature, very pro-
ductive, and in the far South, where they can be planted during
Marcli and April, two crops can be made in one year, the second
crop being planted early in July, the tops making a hay crop
and the nuts a grain crop. They grow more compact than the
Virginia Peanuts, making it possible to grow them closer, mak-
ing the cultivation easier also. This variety frequently yields sixty
bushels of marketable Peanuts and two tons of hay per acre. 28
lbs. to the bushel.

I'rice, lb. 20e; gal. 60e; not prepaid, peek 75e; bn. $2.00.

VIRGINIA BUNCH

A very profitable variety, plant rather dwarf, stems upright,
foliage rather light, pods clustered about the base of plant, usually
two, sometimes three, seeds in a pod; pod bright and clean, color
of peas light brown, pods adhere to plant in digging. It Is the
standard variety for roasting. They furnish excellent forage.

Price, lb. 20e; gal. OOe; not prepaid, pk. 75c; bn. $2.00.

TENNESSEE RED (28 lbs. to the bushel)

Small-podded variety; similar to Spanish, except that the pods
are longer, sometimes containing five to six peas crowded together;
peas dull red in color. This variety is well adapted to stock
feeding, but does not sell upon the market owing to the color
and quality of the peas.

I’rices, lb. 2.5c; gal. 00c; peck 75c; bu. $2.25.

CHUFAS-EARTH ALMONDS

A species of ground nut forming an abundance of small tubers
on its roots, but near the surface. Grown in many sections for
feeding to hogs, for which purpose they are highly recommended.
After the crop is grown hogs may be turned into the field, thus
saving the labor of harvesting and feeding required by most crops
of this sort.

They do best on light, sandy soil, or richer soil that does not
contain much clay except a subsoil. They should be placed in
drills two to three feet apart, dropping three to five Chufas in a
hill 15 to 20 inches apart. Cover to a depth of about two Inches.
They should be kept clean and the soil stirred occasionally. Level
cultivation is the best. Plant during April, May and June. The
tubers mature in September and can remain in the ground until
needed. One peck will plant an acre.

SPANISH PEANUTS

DWARF ESSEX RAPE

Is much like the Rutabaga in appearance, although the root
resembles that of the Cabbage. It really belongs to the Cabbage
family of plants, and will produce good crops in any soil suitable
tor Turnips, Cabbage, Wheat, Corn, etc. Should be S'own broad-
cast. at the rate of twenty pounds per acre. A common practice
in many sections is to sow Rape with small grain, so that when
the grain is harvested the Rape will grow and afford fine pas-
ture for poultry, sheep, hogs, and cattle. Rape will endure quite
severe cold weather, and make a good pasture after frost has
killed ordinary pasture grass. The fields are ready for grazing
eight to ten weeks after seeding. On account of its quick growth,
splendid feeding qualities, and being a fine soil Improver, it should
be largely used in this section and throughout the South, and
considering the small expense of seeding and Its satisfactory
yield, there is nn farm which should be without it.

TEOSINTE

This hardy, strong-growing plant has proven its great value
as a soiling crop. Yields enormous quantities of excellent for-
ages. The plant grows 10 to 15 feet high. Louisiana Experiment
Station reports a yield of fifty tons. The cultivation is the sarrie
as Sorghum, though it will require much less seed for planting.
One seed makes 30 to 50 stalks or stools. Seeds only in extreme
South. Both stalks and leaves contain a rich, sweet sap, making
them of highly nutritious quality. The forage is rich and tender
and is greedily eaten by horses, cattle and sheep. Sow during
March in drills. The seed takes 14 to 20 days to germinate. For
green fodder Teosinte may be cut three or four times during the
season, but then it should not be allowed to grow any taller than
three to four feet. In cutting it is advisable to cut clean to the
ground, as this will Insure a heavier growth than when cut too
high. Two pounds per acre.

SOUTHERN FORAOE CROPS— Selected

The growing of Forage Crops in the tiouth has Increased tremendously within the past few years, as the farmers are realizing
more and more the vital Importance of planting these valuable hay-making crops. There are seasons when our grass crops or
pastures become short from dry weather, or from over-pasturing and during such times we should have an abundance of these for-
age or hay crops to feed our stock. Then again these crops can be cheaply grown and quickly harvested and saved, especially when
the weather conditions are not just right.

The best time to harvest the hay crops is when the plants are in full bloom. This varies with the different hay plants. The
mam thing with all hay crops is to cure them so as not only to preserve their feeding properties, but also to have the hay retain
Its bright, green color and sweet odor.

The importance of desirable forage crops in the complete make-up of the profitably conducted Southern farm is generally recog-
nized. I have given extraordinary attention to this department of rny seed business and I am considered somewhat of a “crank” when
It comes to choosing and selecting the seed crops that make up my stocks. I won’t handle any but the choicest of stock of known
quality, strong in germination and yield. I am consatntly testing and experimenting, so that I may be sure the seed I send out is
going to add greatly to my reputation as a distributor of quality se eds. If the Southern farmer will plant my forage crop seed and
will put just one-half the preparation and cultivation back of his crop that I do in selecting the seed, he will have such wonderful
success as to “break into print” and become famous. The varieties listed and minutely described on this and the following pages
are carefully selected for Southern planting. They are thoroughly acclimated stocks, suitable to our soil conditions and are the
finest seed anybody can secure anywhere. NON^SACCHARINE SORQHUMS

All the following varieties of Sorghum succeed in the dryest seaspn. When com-
mon corn will fail entirely for want of rain, these plants simply stop, wait for the
rain, and then go on and make a full crop. In weight of grain they will make more
per acre than the same land will make corn. In the way of dry forage they give enor-
mous returns, at a cost less than the cost of gathering alone of fodder corn. Culti-
vated the same as corn. They will grow on any land where corn will and on many
lands too poor for corn. As soon as the seed begins to glaize, commence to cut and
stock. It usually requires one week of good, hi-t sunshine to cure the hay. The main
point is to cure the hay so that it will not sour when stocked or stored away. The
seeds may be threshed by running the stalks through a. threshing machine, from
which all but one row of the concave teeth are removed.

Prices fluctuate and are subject to market changes.

WHITE KAFFIR CORN

This variety grows from four to eight feet tall, making a straight, upright growth.
It has a strong stem with enormous wide leaves. The stalks keep green and are brittle,
making excellent fodder, either green or dried, which is highly relished by cattle and
horses. The heads which are formed in the top of the staly range in length from
six to fifteen Inches. As early as these heads bej,in to show development, the joints next
below the top send out seed heads, so that the crop yields an enormous amount of
seed. Where the seed is the object it will be well to cut out the first or top heads as
soon as they are ripe, as this will cause a better development of the second crop of
heads. For the grain, sow in rows three feet apart, 10 lbs. to the acre. For fodder, sow
from one-half to one bushel to the acre, either broadcast or in drills.

DWARF BLACK HULL WHITE KAFFIR

Not as tall as the Standard White, and a
much hardier variety. Can be harvested with
header and does not need as much moisture
as the original strain. Grows four to five
feet high. Sixty to eighty bushels of grain
from this variety is not unfrequent acre

RED KAFFIR

This variety grows taller than the White; the stalks are more slender, but more
juicy and very leafy. The heads grow long and slender and measure from twelve to
eighteen Inches in length. The seeds are red, smaller than the white, and rather hard
and brittle. It does well on poor land and yields well. It ripens a little earlier than
the White variety and yields much heavier even on this soil.

GENUINE DWARF MILO MAIZE

Grows only about four leet high and makes a small stalk as compared with the old
type of Milo Maize. The stalks are short, but large and stand up remarkably well.
The heads are large, so are the seeds. Earlier than the Kaffir Corn and Standard
Milo Maize. The yield is from 60 to 100 bushels to the acre. It is a straight-necked
variety, which is a valuable feature in gathering, feeding and cutting the .heads. It will
stand greater drouth than any other Sorghum, and for that reason is admirably adapted
to dry farming. Should be extensively grown, in fact, every farmer should plant a
few acres, for if drouth comes, he will be sure of feed. Should be planted about the 1st
of April until August 1st. Every animal on the farm, from the hen to the horse, will
eat and fatten on the seed. Sow 10 lbs. to the acre.

YELLOW MILO MAIZE

Growth is tall, 9 to 12 feet, stooling from the ground like White Milo Maize, but
not so much. It sends out shoots also from the joints. Seed heads grow to a great
size, often weighing three-fourths of a pound, sometimes a full pound, after ripening.
On account of its branching habits this grain should be planted in rows four to five
feet apart, and two to three feet in the drill, or two plants in a hill, three to five feet
apart.

JERUSALEM CORN ( White Durra)

This is very similar in every respect to the Dwarf White Milo Maize and has the
same drouth resisting habits. It is considered by some the greatest drouth resister of
all the Sorghums. The seed of this Corn is flat and nearly white, while the seed of
nearly all the other Sorghums is round. Grows five feet high, makes one large head
on main shoot and several smaller ones on side shoots. The leaf development is about
equal to the Kaffir Corn. Everything considered, it is regarded as one of the most
profitable plants for dry-land farming. From five to six pounds of seed will sow
an acre.

EGYPTIAN WHEAT (Shallu) Non-Saccharine

It is a variety of Sorghum that Is wonderfully prolific and should be planted the same way, either for grain or hay. It
grows remarkably well, with little moisture. The great value is in the seed, which is most excellent for food for the poultry, and
in fact all stock on the fprm. Fifty to one hundred bushels of seed may be grown to an acre. It should be thrashed as wheat or
other grain. It would prove far more valuable to grind the seed for all stock except poultry. As it contains 80 per cent of the
feeding value of our common corn as a food for stock, it can be made far more valuable as a stock food on many farms than our
common corn. Even if the farmer does not want to grow it for the farm stock. Vm should plant a sufficient acreage for making an
ample supply for all the poultry on the farm. It is planted once and then cut the same as sorghum or Milo Maize, If it is used
for fodder purposes, it may be cut about three times a year, yielding in the three ciif tings from seven to eight tons per acre. Grows
.six to eight feet high. Plant it from January until July. In drills, use two pounds to the acre; when sowing broadcast, one and
one-balf to three bushels per acre.

A new variety of the Durra group recently Introduced from British Egyptian Soudan. It produces stalks of medium size,
bearing ten to twelve 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. It Is about twenty-five days earlier than Kaffir and yields considerably more. Eighty
bushels to the acre was reported this past season. The Increased yield and the earliness of this variety will bring it to the front
rapidly.

SACCHARINE SORGHUMS— SUGAR CANE

The value of Sugar Cane as a hay crop is yearly becoming
better known and appreciated by thousands of farmers in the
South. The Saccharine Sorghums are superior to others for
fodder, and produce the best green food that can be grown
for feeding horses, cows, etc. The Sorghum plant is a strong
rapid grower and a greedy feeder, so that it succeeds best on
a deep, rich, moist soil. Stable manure is an excellent ferti-
lizer. The best time to plant this crop for forage is from
about March until the last of July. The seed can be planted
in drills from two to three feet apart and the crop cultivated,
or they may be sown broadcast. Use about one-half bushel
to the acre where sowed in drills, and use 100 to ISO lbs. to the
acre where sown broadcast. Two cuttings can always be made
and sometimes three or more.

All our Cane Seed is recleaned by the best machinery. We
do not purchase cheap farm stock full of broken grains and
very dirty. Pay a little more and get the best. Prices on
Cane Seed fluctuate. Write for prices, stating quantity de-

JAPANESE HONEY SORGHUM

Known in some sections as Japanese Seeded
Ribbon Cane, and sold under that name by various
seedsmen. It makes an unsually large stock, some-
times as large in diameter as Ribbon Cane and
much taller. Matures in 120-125 days. It sends
up from two to four stalks which reach a height of
eleven to fourteen feet. The seeds are plump, slightly larger
than Sumac, and when hulls are removed seed appear to be of
dull reddish brown color, and after threshing, are almost to-
tally enclosed in a bluntly-pointed glistening red glume; heads
long and medium loose. Yields as much as four to five hun-
dred gallons of the very best syrup to the acre. The syrup is
lighter in color and milder in taste than that of the Sumac.

TEXAS-SEEDED RIBBON CANE

This is a comparatively new variety of the Saccharine Sor-
ghums. A very strong and tall growing variety, noted for
the Immense quantities of finest syrup which it produces. It
has a yield of from 300 to 400 gallons of molasses per acre. The
strong, leafy stalks make excellent forage. Plant in rows three
and one-half feet apart, eight to ten lbs. to the acre.

BROOM CORN

There are many farmers who make this a most profitable
crop. One acre will produce 500 hundredweight of brush and
nearly 40 bushels of seed. It is a very good crop for dry land
farming. The straw sells as high as $200.00 per ton. It has very
little value for feed, as neither the stalks, blades or seed are
gO'od to feed any kind of stock. Broom Corn may be planted
and cultivated the same as Sorghums. Care should be taken to
prevent it getting mixed with feed crops. From 4 to 8 qts. of
seed plant an acre.

REUTER’S SUGAR DRIP SORGHUM

This is an entirely new variety that is creating
quite a furore in the South, and is largely planted for
syrup purposes. I believe that it belongs at the very
top of sorghums when grown for this purpose, and
should be more extensively cultivated than it is. It
is not a difficult matter to make sorghum syrup, so
plant a few acres this year, and you will find ready sale for it
in your local market, or even the larger cities are now asking
for it. An immense maker of forage. One seed produces 7 to 8
stools and stalks. Plant it in rows about four feet and about one
foot apart. Grows 12 to 15 feet high. In some sections of the
South it is known as Georgia Cane. The demand for the seed
has usually been greater than the supply, so I suggest that you
place your order early, so as to avoid disappointment. My seed
is Southern Grown, and selected by a careful grower in Georgia,
who has been growing this stock a few years.

MILLETS

Our Seed is carefully recleaned.
Price includes bags.

Millet Is used principally as a hay and forage crop. It cer-
tainly deserves more extensive cultivation. Makes superior hay
and is a fine soiling crop for dairy cows, young stock and
sheep. Yields heavily and is highly nutritious. It is easily
cured and its rapid growth makes it especially valuable as a
catch crop. To grow Millet for hay it should be sown broadcast
at the rate of one bushel to the acre. Millets are of rapid growth,
so consume large quantities cf plant food, as well as requiring a
great amount of moisture. Deep, rich soils, clay soils, are the
best suited for Millet. The soil should be broken deeply and the
seed bed made fine before sowing. The best time to plant Millet
is from April to July. Millet should always be harvested for hay
before the seed becomes ripe. In fact, after the seed ripens the
hay is of little value. The best time to cut is when the seed is
in the milk. It is easily cured, requiring only one or two days’
sun to put it in condition. Two crops can be grown on the same
land.

REUTER^S BIG GERMAN MILLET I Valuable Bulletin

— on Millets

Tennessee Grown Seed FREE!

I want to tell you all about my Big German Millet Seed. It is grown expressly for
me in Tennessee, where the climate and other conditions seem to be just right for its
perfect development. My seed is cultivated in drills expressly for this purpose. This
kind of Millet withstands drouth better than all other varieties, under ordinary condi-
tions always produces large crops. Grown, as it is, in Tennessee, it is true-to-name, as
no other varieties are grown near this sort, and isolation is absolutely essential in this
crop. Western Grown German Millet can bb offered to you considerably cheaper than
my stock, but this seed becomes more or less hybridized with Common Millet, Hungarian
Grass and Foxtail and often gives very disappointing results. Be sure to buy strictly
Southern Grown Round Seed Millet. It is worth double the price of the cheaper seed
grown in other sections of the country. If you plant my seed once, you will buy
again, and praise my stocks to everyone of your neighbors. I am telling you the truth,
and if you will only sow this seed this spring, you w'ill agree with me and become an
enthusiastic booster for Tennessee German Millet.

German Millet has been in cultivation since 1870. Quite a long time ago, isn’t it?
It is a very coarse and vigorous grower, producing an abundance of rich nutritious food
for your stock. If you have sown Millet before and have failed, endeavor to find out
where the stock came from originally. In nine times out of ten. you will discover that
the seed was grown out in the West, where absolutely no attention is paid to the per-
fecting of the stock, and endeavoring to keep it true. When common seed is used the
yield is necessarily lessened, and renders the hay of less value, because common West-
ern Grown Millet Seed grows very much smaller and has very little leaf growth, goes
to seed quicker, interspersing with the hay wood fiber and more or less seed, both of
which are extremely objectionable besides curtailing the crop.

REUTER'S BIG GERMAN MILLET

PEARL, or CATTAIL MILLET

Immensely productive. Twenty-five tons per acre. It Is an
annual plant having long, broad foliage, and if allowed to develop
fully will attain a height of from 10 to 12 feet, and bear numer-
ous heads from 19 to 20 inches in length, and one inch In diam-
eter, completely covered with thousands of seeds, much relished
by poultry. It is a rapid grower, throwing out from one plant
to 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.

It may be sown in drills or broadcast, though the better plan
Is to sow in drills three or four feet apart, and cultivate. To
be fed as a forage crop, it should be cut and fed when green.
It is practically worthless for hay.

HUNGARIAN MILLET

For good, low grounds on rich soil, this makes even a more
valuable crop than German Millet. It is of fine growth and
makes excellent hay. It has numerous succulent leaves, which
furnish an abundance of green fodder, taken by all kinds of
stock. It is very Important to get the true seed, as common Mil-
let resembles It vecy closely and is frequently found mixed with
Hungarian.

SIBERIAN MILLET

This is a splendid variety of Millets, which is rather new to
the South, having been recently Introduced to us from Russia. It
is the earliest millet we know of. Should be sown rather early
and continue sowing at intervals any time during the season when
it will produce an abundance of green foliage as well as making
a very fine crop of hay. This Millet has been successfully grown
in Louisiana. Texas, and other Southern States, and is truly a
meritorious variety. Many growers claim it is superior to the
German Millet, but I doubt it very much. It is. however, much
earlier than my Big German.

REUTER’S SEED POTATOES
In order to secure the best possible yields, combined with
the best quality, there is no crop that a change in seed is so
essential as in Seed Potatoes. Don’t plant scrub-stock and
grow a small stock of poor potatoes, which are hardly market-
able at any price. There is a world of difference between our
highly selected Northern Grown Seed and the ordinary com-
mercial grade of so-called seed potatoes sold by produce mer-
chants.

MANITOBA HOG MILLET

Grows from three to six feet tall. Produces large heads and
larger seed than any other Millet. Seeds are large and contain I
a high percentage of oil. The seeds have a higher feeding value i
per pound than our 'common corn. This plant always produces a
heavy head of seed. The seeds furnish the best of all foods for
all poultry. It has produced as high as seventy-five bushels of
seed per acre. One great feature of this Millet is that the seed !
ripens before the straw, so that it may be cut and bound as 5
wheat or oats, thrashed, and a nice green crop of hay put up; |
while the seed may be housed and be fed separately as grain. |

This plant is an annual, and like other Millets must be plant- ■
ed each season. By beginning to sow with early corn planting ,
and keep up sowing first of every month up to September 1st, I
we can have fine green forage for our stock all the summer. |

JAPANESE MILLET-BILLION DOLLAR GRASS ■

This 1s one of the best plants ever Introduced into this coun- '■
try. It grows from one to six feet tall, according to the soil. ,
As it stools like wheat or oats, less seed is required for seeding. , i
From one-half to three-fourths bushel per acre will usually an- j
swer. It may be sown in drills or broadcast. It may be cut when
in full bloom, or from then to the dough state of the seed for hay, I
or it may be cut and bound when the seeds are ripe, the same as '
wheat. The seeds furnish excellent feed for poultry and hogs. ,
This is a fine crop to sow with Cow Peas for hay, and where ' '
grown together on good soil they will produce from four bo ten i
tons of hay per acre. Usually in a favorable season, the stubble i
of both millet and peas will start a new growth and make a
second crop from the one seeding.

the Oat that has revolutionized, the growing of Oats in Louisiana,
and within a year or so Louisiana Seed Oats will be in big demand
everywhere In the South. They have made good, not once, but
hundreds of times. Every year more attention is being devoted
to the cultivation of Oats. Eventually the South will grow more
Oats than any other section of the United States, and why not?
I feel sure that if you plant my Seed Oats you will double' your
yield. It will make Oats your most profitable crop. It will mean
that you won’t have to worry about those big feed bills that you

RYE — WHEAT — BARLEY — SPELTZ

REUTER’S SOUTHERN WINTER RYE

SOUTHERN GROWN SEED WHEAT

When I say that you should plant more Rye. I don’t urge
you in an endeavor to sel my seed, but I realize that you ought to
plant more of this valuable grain crop. The sowing of Winter
Rye in the fall and early spring in the South is becoming more
popular every year as a winter and spring crop for grazing and
cutting for green forage. Rye Is extremely hardy, and will grow
on the poorest kind of land. It makes the finest kind of winter
and spring pasturage, and if sowed early can be grazed until late
fall. If cut when in bloom or before fully headed out. it makes a
fair quality of hay, and when used for grain, the straw is excel-
lent for bedding purposes.

It is not truly a soil-improving crop, but makes a great deal
of humus, and when turned under on the land will greatly help
impoverished lands. Where I live it is sown from the middle of
August until November, and then again in the early spring. The
main planting time is in the fall, however, as it is more valuable
when sown early.

It is a very hardy plant, withstanding all kinds of very cold
weather without serious injury. The ground should be well pre-
pared before you sow; plant early, thus giving the young plants
plenty of time to get a good stand. Sowed both broadcast and in
drills. The seed should be covered no more than two inches.
Sow at the rate of one and one-half to two bushels to the acre.
The planters in ouisiana usually mix Rye with their oats. It
makes an excellent combination. If you sow a few acres in Rye
in the fall, you can depend upon it to furnish you excellent grazing
during the winter and spring. This is Its principal value in the
South, though the value of a Rye crop as a winter cover crop on
the land should also be taken into consideration.

It makes about ten tons of green feed to the acre in five
months. Don’t you think It worth cultivation?

Prices, lb. 20c; peck 00c; bn. 92.00. Write for quantity prices
when you are about to plant. The market varies from time to
time, and I sugest that you use my Quotation Request Sheet before
ordering.

SOUTHERN GROWN BARLEY SEED

It is sown by us in the fall, during the months of September,
October, November and sometimes In December, and also in the
early spring with good results. Barley stools out more and
really makes better fall, winter and spring grazing than either
Rye or Wheat. Cut for hay it cures splendidly and is superior In
nutritive and feeding qualities thna Timothy hay. Sow at the
rate of one and one-half to two bushels to the acre broadcast. My
seed is Southern Grown. I handle only the Bearded Variety.

Price, Ib. 20c; peck 60c; bn. 92.00.

Wheat is usually sown in my section during September, Oc-
tober, November and December, and then in the early spring.
The seed will not germinate well during warm weather, and If
sown to early wheat is liable to get infested with insects. Wheat
requires a good soil for its perfect development. Rich clays and
heavy loams that are well drained give the biggest yields. Plow
your ground early if you intend to plant wheat. The best yields
are obtained from an early plowing, followed at intervals by
harrowing, thus preventing the growth of weeds. It is both
drilled and sown broadcast. The amount of seed usually sown
upon an acre is about the same as Rye.

GEORGIA RED WONDER

A bearded variety that Is immensely popular throughout the
South, and is without a doubt the finest you can grow. It has a
good stiff straw and stands up well, arge flinty grains, and tak-
ing it altogether, is one of the best varieties I know of. My seed
is grown in Georgia by a reliable farmer, the seed is therefore
thoroughly acclimated, and will always grow a satisfactory crop.
Being a hardy, vigorous sort, it can be planted lamost at any time
during the fall and early spring.

Price, lb. 20c; peck 75c; bn. 92.25.

SPELTZ, or EMMER

A very valuable new grain from Russia. It grows tall like
Rye and matures early like Barley, and each year, when tested
by the side of each, it has yielded twice as much per acre as
Oats, and three bushels to one of Barley, and it is much better
feed for stock than either. It yields forty to sixty bushels per
acre, and from four to six tons of straw hay. Tough and hardy
it stands the drouth better than any other grain, making it a sure
crop. It is a grain to sow for profit. Prepare your land as you
would for these crops, and sow at the rate of two bushels or
eighty pounds, per acre. Sow very early in the spring or fall
and do not let it stand until it gets ripe before cutting, as any
grain that yields well shells easily. In the green state it makes
an excellent pasture.

ENQLISH RYE (Lollum Perenae)

This Is a very valuable variety for permanent
pasture, also for lawn purposes. It succeeds well on
many soils, and is well adapted to the various soils
and conditions of the South. It is worthy of all the
praise given. It will cover the ground sooner and
make a better sward in a few weeks after planting
than most other grasses, and withstands drouth to a
remarkable degree. . It is used extensively for lawns.

The Bermuda being easily affected by frost, becomes
red and rusty looking, while the English Rye during
the winter presents a beautiful appearance, being a
vivid green, and as the Bermuda during April and
May makes its appearance, it overgrows the English
Rye, causing the latter to decay and act as a fertilizer
to the existing grass. It should be sown from
September to March at the rate of three bushels to
the acre. Our new crop is carefully recleaned and
may be depended upon.

CARPET GRASS

Tall Meadow Oat Grass

This Grass grows tenaciously in any sandy soil. Excellent for lawns or
pasture purposes on the Gulf coast and all sandy lands and grows equally as
well on clay uplands. Green all the year in lower Gulf States. It stools heavily
and is 'one parent stalk; in nineteen months will spread several feet in circum-
ference. Blades are wid and give fine foliage and when well set forms a thick
gren carpet that cannot be iiprjoted by any amount of grazing. It has trans-
formed New South Wales into one r.f tho- greatest dairying countries in the
world. The United States Department of Agriculture Bulletin No. 248 on “Dawns”
says: “In the Gulf coast country the f rass known .is carpet grass has for a

number of years been attracting considerable attention for -use upon lawns. It

has a habit of growth very similar to Bermuda grass and under same conditions
it thrives and maintains itself to even a greater extent than does the Bermuda
grass." This grass is easily eradicated and one year’s cultivation of the turf in
any other crop will entirely eradicate it. Five to ten pounds mixed with sand
for ha'nd sowing, will set an acre.

TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS (Avena Elatlor)

This hardy perennial grass is coming into more general use
in many sections of the South, and is well adapted to places where
long, severe drouths exist, as its roots descend deeply into the

soil. While it will grow on any good, rich soil yet it is well

fitted for sandy or gravelly soils, particularly lowlands. May be
sown in March or April, and mowed the same season. We suggest
that you sow in the fall and winter. It yields heavier. Grows
about three to four feet in height and produces an abundance of
fine blades from the ground to the top. Also used for lawn pur-
poses. where it retains a beautiful green color

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS {PoaZPratensis)

This grass has always been regarded as the standard pasture grass of America.
It has no superior as a pasture grass. It forms a compact sod which will stand
trampling unusually well. It is an admirable drouth resistant and Is unsurpassed
for fall and winter pasture. In combination with White Clover it forms the finest
and smoothest lawns. For this purpose from 50 to 60 pounds of White Clver should
be sown per acre. If sown for pasture, two bushels are sufficient. It grows slowly
at first, but after a good stand has been obtained It will last for years. It grows

from one to two feet tall, with many long, narrow root leaves. May be sown from

September to April, preferably during February and March. The importance of a
thorough preparation of the soil cannot be too strongly impressed, as satisfactory
results cannot be expected If it is done carelessly. The seedbed should be firm
and compact and the seed sown broadcast.

BERMUDA GRASS {Cynodon Dactylon)

Bermuda is a Southern Grass. It delights in sunshine and warmth. It is extensively
cultivated in this section of the country for lawns. It is a small, creeping, hardy peren-
nial, which thrives on nearly all our soils, even growing on many of our poorer, thin
sandy soils, though like other grasses it gives better results on richer soils. The up-
right flower stems vary in height from a few inches to two feet, according to the
richness of the soil. The leaves, which are short and numerous, grow near the base
of the plant. Bermuda Grass is very valuable for pasture, as well as for hay crop.
Grows vigorously during the hot summer months when other grasses are parched and
dead. On good soil it will make splendid hay, furnishing two or more cuttings and
frequently yielding four tons to the acre. It is very difficult to eradicate when once
well established.

One of the chief reasons that this grass has not been more extensively Introduced
is the fact that it has been the practice of propagating it from roots, as it does not
mature from seed in this country. However, it is just as easy to get a good stand by
growing the seed. The seed should be planted in the spring. Seed requires 60 to 90
days to germinate. The ground should be well prepared with a good firm seedbed,
as the seed is small^and is seeded broadcast at the raet of ten pounds per acre. Do not
cover more than half an inch. The seeding should not be done too early, as the seed
will not germinate if sown before the weather and ground have become warm.

TIMOTHY {Pbleum Pratense)

Timothy has long been recognized as the standard hay grass of this country. It Is grown
over a very large part of the United States. It is a perennial grass, growing from two to
four feet tall. It succeeds best in the rich, heavy clay soils. Timothy and clover sown to-
gether make excellent hay. When sown alone, one-fourth bushel of good seed should be
sown per acre.

Timothy is pre-eminently a hay crop and will not stand heavy pasturing; and, except un-
der unusually favorable conditions, does not persist for more than five or six years. There is
scarcely a variety of natural or tame grass that is more generally cultivated than this. If cut
in season it makes a most splendid nutritious hay, while for pasture it cannot be'recommended,
as every farmer knows its growth is not thrifty enough and close pasturing is injurious to it!

Timothy should not be allowed to become over or dead ripe before cutting, as the hay
would become woody and lose much of its feeding value. The best time to cut Timothy for
hay is when the heads are in bloom. Growing In stools. It does not form a very compact sod,

and because of the shallow feeding of the root system, does not withstand drouth as well as

some of the other grasses.

PASPALUM DILATATUM

Sow eight to ten pounds to the acre. Has given splendid results in the South. It is an
ideal grass for dairy farmers, as it produces enormous quantities of fresh, green, juicy feed

during the hottest weather; it also keeps green during the winter. The seed may be sown at

any time during the fall or early spring. Germinates slowly and requires from three to four
weeks of warm, moist weather to sprout.

RED TOP, OR HERD’S GRASS {Agrostis Vulgaris)

Ripens the same time as the Mammoth Red or Sapling Clover and Timothy .and makes hay
of the finest quality If sown with these. It is almost equal to Timothy for hay and superior
to it for pasture. Thrives in soils too wet for Timothy. It is one of the best grasses for Spring
and fall sowing. It makes a fair yield of palatable and nutritious hay, and is especially
adapted to damp lands, as it is not Injured by overflow, even when the water stands for fifteen
to twenty days, and is more persistent and productive than other grasses under like condi-
tions. Excellent for lawn mixtures. Sow 2 bushels to the acre In September, October. Febru-
ary or March. If with Timothy for hay from 6 to 10 lbs., if with other grasses for pasture, 3
to 6 lbs. A common Idea regarding Red Top his been that it was only suitable for wet lands,
but this Is a mistake. It will grow on any klni of soil.

Price, per lb. 30c; per bn. (14 lbs.) $4.00; per 100 lbs. $30.00.

JOHNSON GRASS {Sorghum Halapense)

A perennial grass with long, cane-like roots. It belongs to
the Sorghum family of plants and so is better adapted for hay
than pasture, though where well managed It furnishes fine Pas-
ture as well as hay. It thrives best on our heavy, black, lime
soils, and while such soils seem to suit it best, yet it will grow
almost as well on our rich clay soils, as well as on many rich,
sandy soils. Grows from three to four feet high.

Its greatest value is as a hay grass, and for that purpose It
cannot be excelled. It will give three cuttings annually and make
at least three to five tons per acre. The hay is course and not
attractive in appearance, but stock of all kinds eat it greemly,
seeming to prefer it to any other hay. It should be cut while
tender. ()nce planted it cannot be eradicated.

GUINEA GRASS

ORCHARD GRASS (Dactylis Glomerata)

No farmer should be without asmall field of Orchard Grass,
as in many respects it is superior to all other grasses. It is a
valuable grass for hay or pasturage. It attains its best growth
on the moist or heavier clay soils. Can be sown either in the Fall
or Spring. Sow 1% to 2 bushels to the acre. Starting early it
grows rapidly, furnishing excellent pasturage in the Spring, and,
although Its growth is checked during the hottest weather, it
renews its vigor with the early fall rains and makes exceptionally
fine grazing throughout the winter. It may be mowed from two
to four times a year, according to season and treatment. Yields
from one to three tons of excellent hay per acre. With a week’s
growth after cutting it provides an abundant aftermath, which
makes excellent pasturage for all kinds of stock. It stands drouth
well and grows splendidly in the shade.

A native of Africa. It is a perennial which grows in large clumps, producing
numerous stems 6 to 10 feet high, with an abundance of very long and tender leaves.
Its chief value is as a soiling plant, its habit of growing in clumps making it rather
difficult to use a mowing machine for cutting it for hay. It grows well on ground
which is quite dry and succeeds on both the light, sandy soils of Florida and the black,
waxy lands of Texas. We export thousands of pounds of it every year to Central
America. A grower in Southern Florida says: “It is the best grazing grass we have, ’

and another says; “It yields more than any other grass.” Sirnilar statements are
made by growers in Southern Alabama and Mississippi, and we anticipate a tremendous
demand for the seed from Texas this year. The seed should be sown in February.
The most successful growers plant about 2 feet apart in rows 5 to 6 feet apart, the
planting usually being done in the early spring. Two or three cultivations should be
given while the grass is becoming established, after which it will care for itself
through the remainder of the season. The spaces between the rows should be well
plowed every spring, as a loose soil is necessary for a vigorous growth. The grass
should be cut when two to three feet high and before the stems become hardy and
woody. Under favorable conditions such a growth is made in 12 to 14 days, and
wherever the winters are not so severe as to kill the roots, from 10 to 12 cuttings may
be made in a season.

COLORADO GRASS (Panicum Texanum)

This grass Is quite common in many sections of Texas, where it has proved inval-
uable for both pasture and hay. It has been Introduced Into sections of Oklahoma,
where it is giving very satisfactory results. It Is splendidly adapted for the alluvial
or bottom lands throughout the Gulf States, grows to a height of from 3 to 5 feet,
stems are small and leaves broad. Under favorable conditions It will crowd out other
grasses and weeds, but It Is very easily killed by cultivation. It is grown quite largely
in some parts of Louisiana, preferring low damp feoils, and will make two to three
cuttings in a season.

Prices, prepaid, lb. 30c; 10 lbs. .$2.50; not prepaid, lOO lbs. $18.00.

ITALIAN RYE {Lollum Itallcum)

A splendid variety, coming to full maturity the first season. Should be sown in
Fall. Comes up quickly and makes a dense, matter turf, which gives excellent grazing
during the Fall. Winter and early Spring. It is particularly adapted for permanent
pastures and bears large quantities of nutritious hay. With a favorable season it will
yield three or four successive cuttings of most excellent hay. It grows well on any
soil, but is especially adapted to rich or heavy low grounds and it will stand more
overflow than many other grasses. Should be sown during August, September and
October. Three bushels sow an acre. It is an annual and requires seeding each year.
It should be cut when In bloom for hay. We strongly advise sowing this variety in
mixture with other grasses and clovers, as It comes in early and will very largely
Increase the yield of the first cutting of other grasses and clovers. Can be sown with
common clover successfully. When sown In this way we recommend seeding 10 to IB
pounds of Italian Rye with ten or twelve pounds of Crimson Clover to the acre.

RHODES GRASS , :

Rhodes Grass is a native of Central and South Africa where
it is regarded as one of the best species for pastures on dry soil. h
It is a perennial, growing from three to four feet high, with large
numbers of very long, narrow and tender leaves, and with rather [|.
a few branching seed spikes or slender branching stems. It is a [ij
species that does not spread by underground root-stocks, but pro- ! !
duces running branches which root at the joints or nodes, thereby [ h
producing new plants. The runners are not so abundant when j t'
the grass is growing thickly, and therefore does not materially i
interfere with the machinery at the time of harvesting the hay i
crop. To be a very valuable hay grass a variety must possess
certain important characteristics. It must be aggressive, or at
least able to maintain itself for a considerable length of time
against weeds and other enemies: it must furnish a profitable ij'
yield; it must be palatable and nutritious, and possess a good fi
color and general appearance, either loose or in the bale, when
cured; and it must have reasonably good seed habits. Rhodes |i
Grass has all of these qualities and besides it seems to be able I
to grow on poor soil and is fairly drouth resistant. Its inability r
to stand cold weather will limit its acreage to the Southern u
States, as the climatic conditions in our Northern territories do J
not agree with it. 1

When grown from seeds its growth is commonly erect the
first season, but when grown from roots, or the second season |
when grown from seed, it makes runner-like branches from 2 to !
4 feet long, which root at the joints and so cover the ground , i
quite rapidly. | I

It is propagated by both seeds and roots, as above described. ! j

I think it advisable that you sow the seed, planting during the • )

spring at the rate of 10 pounds to the acre. Sow about corn- I
planting time, when the weather is not too severe. Have a soil !
that has a fine mellow surface, and then give a light harrowing.

As the seed is produced only in small quantities and as It con- t ,
tinues to be developed and matured through the entire season. *
little can be gathered at one time; naturally the seed is rather ,
scarce. The seed is planted in Louisiana and other Southern i
States from February until June with excellent results. While the !
principal value of Rhodes Grass is for grazing, it is also used |
for hay, giving two to three cuttings of about one ton each to i

the acre, and the hay is of excellent quality. It bears severe ! :

drouth and moderate frost without injury, but is easily killed ■ j
by plowing late in the season. Thus it is not a pest, but a most
welcome acquisition to my big list of high-grade grasses. Six
tons per acre of well-cured hay secured from three cuttings, the .
first made in May. the second in July, and the third in Septem- [
ber. At the present market price of hay in the South, it can be ,
easily seen that such yields are very profitable.

SUDAN GRASS — Bulletin Free

True “CreamhuU” Type.

Many farmers have made $200.00 per acre and even more
from this great new forage crop. It is an annual crop, and in
two years it has surprised every farmer and agricultural station
in its marvelous growth under any conditions. It is undoubtedly
the most productive hay crop in the South. Pour to six crops
can be grown every year, and two to three tons per acre from
each cutting.

It is second only to Alfalfa or Timothy as hay, easily cured
and the greatest drought resister on earth; feeders go four to six
feet in soil. It does not impoverish the land, as it draws nourish-
ment from very far below the surface. It must be sown each
year and every seed produces from 100 to 250 stalks. Very dense
foliage and practically adapted to every soil in the land.

It is unquestionably better adapted to the South than any
other section of this country. It has been grown in Texas within
the past few years very successfully and the reports are very
optimistic. It does well when mixed with cow peas and soy beans.
It should be planted in the spring, at the end of February, or the
end of March for best results, but can be planted most any time
in the growing months. It should be planted in rows twenty to
twenty-four inches apart. The best tool for planting on a small
scale is a garden drill with which it can.be done very accurately.
Three to five pounds of seed will plant an acre. It can also be
sown broadcast when it will take about seven to ten pounds. It
will yield as much tonage, however, when planted in rows, as it
i-an then be cultivated, and it responds to cultibation as well as
do other plants, for it is given plenty of room to stool. It is far
ahead of sorghums, having more feeding value, can be cured In
less than half the time. Is much easier to handle and bale, and
will not sap the land.

Before 1 Ko ahead and tell you all about Soy Beans and how successful it has been in

Louisiana. Texas, and other Southern States. 1 want to impress you about the quality of

my seed, which is srown expressly for me under my personal supervision, and the y ield

the oast year has been tremendous. My stock is clean and mighty good, and is not to be

compared with the cheap stocks offered by dealers and growers in the South who are not
all acquainted witii this valuable crop. I have made this seed one of my specialties, be-
cause I believe in Soy Beans, and have talked about their merits to every farmer in the state with
whom I have come in contact. My seed is good, clean, thoroughly dried and cured. Fifty bushels to
the acre was the average yield on the farm last year. This sounds mighty good, don’t it?

This grand drouth-resisting forage plant is rapidly becoming popular throughout the South, being
a splendid soil-improver and a great producer of nutritious feed. There is no crop so easily grown
that can be used to such a good advantage as the Soy Bean. It will thrive in any kind nf soil Ex-
tremely hardy, resisting drouth, and enduring more water than corn. There is no raw vegetable

product known which contains such a high percentage of protein and fat in such a highly digestible
form. In enriches the ground in which it is planted by the free nitrogen gathered from the’ air, and

which is deposited in the ground by the roots, leaving it in ideal condition and rich in nitrogen for the

next crop. Fodder is relished in either dry or green state by all kinds of cattle. Excellent to com-
bine as feed with other hay or corn. In fact. Soy Beans are practically the only crop that furnishes
a well-balanced ration in one crop, and I am advised that it is unnecessary to feed corn, cottonseed
meal or any oil feeds whatever when feeding Soy Beans.

As mentioned before. Soy Beans do well on all kinds of soils. It improves the land, and I have
never seen a crop that cleans land better than these wonderful nitrogen gatherers. It is almost impos-
sible for any weeds to thrive where a crop of Soy Beans is grown, and for effectively eradicating
wire grass or any other obnoxious weeds from the soil, I know of nothing better than planting some
Soys. It is not in the least affected by drouth or hot weather. Resists these two elements, and with-
stands continued rains to a very great extent. In recent tests in Louisiana, the Soy Bean stood the
excessively moist conditions better than the cowpea.

Culture — The land should be prepared as for cowpeas, and the seed planted In drills at a suffi-
cient distance to permit one or two cultivations. One bushel of seed will plant two or three acres,
the amount depending on the distance between the rows. The planting should be shallow, never more
than two inches, or many of the seeds will decay. This is a very important point to remember. In-
oculation with soil from an old soy bean field is not usually necessary in the South. Rabbits are ex-
ceedingly fond of the young plants and sometimes cause serious injury to the crop when the field is
near woods. If wanted for hay the crop should be cut when the upper leaves begin to turn yellow, but
if wanted for seed the gathering should be delayed until nearly all the leaves have fallen. The hay
is easily cured and is fully as nutritious as that from Cow Peas. The yield *s usually large, often ex-
ceeding forty bushels per acre. It Is also sown broadcast at the rate of one bushel to the acre. Soy
leans may follow a crop of Rye or Barley. Sowing thickly
vill prevent the stalk from growing too coarse, and will enable
hem to be cut and turned to better advantage.

REUTER’S MAMMOTH YELLOW SOY BEANS

Irown In Louisiana Under My Own Personal Supervision

The largest growing and most popular of all Soy Beans, and
s the one kind that is so extensively cultivated in the South.

. do not advise ynu to plant any other. This sort does very
rood in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and in fact all Southern
States. Grows three to five feet high. The pods ar short,

;overed with hair and contain from one to four beans. It is a
lender annual, and should not be planted until all danger of
frost is past and the weather is warm and dry. While it is
j. dry land plant and will grow on the poorest soils, yet will
Droduce better if planted on good soils. The time required
to reach maturity varies from one hundred to one hundred
und twenty days.

The prices fluctuate, and while our stock is grown ex-
oressly for us under contract, yet the local market influences
the price to some extent, and I suggest that you write me

VELVET BEANS

The velvet bean is the most rank growing annual legume cultivated for forage and is
one of the best plants for the production of feed and as a restorative crop in rotation.
It is not quite as good as the Cow Pea for making hay, as its growth is so strong and the
vines are so long and tangled that it is difficult to cut and cure, though when cut early
and well cured the hay is of excellent quality. It makes an irnmense amount of fall and
winter grazing, produces seed abundantly and leaves the soil in a fine condition for any
following crop. In this respect, it is far superior to cowpeas, and the cost of planting is
very much less than cowpeas. as it only requires about a peck to a peck and a quarter
to plant an acre, and one busliel will sow three to four acres very easily.

It is principally used for winter grazing, and for that purpose it is one of the best
crons that can be grown. Grazing usually begins at about the time of the first frost, and
may be continued through the winter, as both vines and beans remain in an eatable con-
dition. The beans are quite hard when mature and dry. but are eaten readily in the fall

and again when they become nightly softened in late winter, so that all are consumed be-
fore the ground is ploughed in the soring. Dairymen find that it gives the greatest stimlilus
to milk production when grazed in the fall, while beef growers -value it more highly for
winter grazing. Hogs usually find plenty of good feed left by the cattle. The vines fre-
quently grow fifty feet long and set great clusters of pods, which are soft and hairy like

velvet. Should be planted from March until May at the rate of one peck per acre. The

plant will not grow until the soil and weather both become warm. Plant in rows four
feet apart, drop two or three seed in a hill, the hills being three feet apart They can also
be sown broadcast and plowed in. They soon make rapid growth and completely cover the
ground with a thick mass of leaves.

It is safe to say that no one thing can add more to the agricultural wealth of the South than the mon'
extensive growing of the Cow Pea. This will supply the Southern markets with much of their hay, whicl,
is now shipped in from the North and West. It will tend to increase the production of live stock, which li
very essential in securing the maximum returns of any system of agriculture, and it will go far towar(
keeping the soil in good shape and maintaining its productiveness. The Southern planters have realize<
that the Cow Pea is essential to successful agriculture, and more Cow Peas are planted every year by
the farmers in the South. It is the greatest plant for all the Southern States, for grain, hay, and to hi
used as a soil renovator. The Cow Pea is a wonderful gatherer of nitrogen, and as a means of addint
humus to the soil is easily the superior of any nitrogen gathering legume. It is the Staple forage crop fo
the South. It makes poor lands rich. Makes good land more productive. It may be sown in all fields o i
corn at the last plowing, when it will make a good crop of hay, and at the same time furnish plant foocj
for the soil.

Cow Pea Seed for planting should be fresh and of good quality; or, if old, should be tested for ger |
mination, as seed more than one year old is likely to be very low in vitality. It is practically certair
that seed which ripens and is harvested in dry weather is of superior quality.

Good Cow Pea hay is fully as valuable for feed, pound for pound, as Red Clover Hay, and very near!}
equal in value to Alfalfa, or to wheat bran. The principal value of this hay lies in its high percentag
of digestible protein, which is nearly four times that of Timothy Hajy One reason why Cow Peas are no
more extensively used as a hay crop is the difficulty often experienced in curing the large growth of sue
culent vines. Where proper care is taken in curing, especially where sorghum or a similar plant is growi
with it in mixture, it is not a difficult matter to make good Cow Pea Hay unless the weather is decidedl;
unfavorable.

THE YOKAHAMA BEAN

This is truly a wonderful variety of Velvet Beans coming to
maturity in less than four months, or about 100 days, enabling
it to be grown easily with Lorn. This new bean is a dandy and
has really solved the problem of shorter seasons. It does not
make the rank growth of the Velvet, but is as prolific in produc-
tion. The United States Department of Agriculture says this
about it;

^ “An annual legume, makes best growth during the summer.
More vigorous growth than any of the cow peas. Of great value
on newly cleaied land' for rnellowing the sod. An excellent
restorative crop for soils. The vines will produce three tons per
acre and furnish as much nitrogen as will one ton of cotton seed
meal, and will also provide three times as much humus. Grows
well on soils too light and sandy for most other legumes. Will
mature heavy crop of seed in 100 days from planting, so can be
grown successfully as far north as South Carolina and Arkansas,
while moderate crops have ben matured as far north as Virginia
and Missouri. Makes excellent grazing for cattle and hogs from
about August until the field is cleared. Makes excellent hay if
cut when the pods 'ripen. Plant about the same time as cotton,
one peek per acre. Vines must be given a support if the crop of
seed is to be gathered. Corn stalks will serve this purpose ad-
mirably. The growth of the vines is not quite as heavy as either
the yon or the Velvet, but the production of seed is greater. Ma-
tures before either of the varieties are ready for grazing. The
demand for this bean is enormous, so I urge you to place your
order with me early.

The seed should be sown as early as possible after danger o
frost is over. It is customary to burn a quantity of brush an
rubbish in the spring on the ground intended for the seed bed
then dig and pulverize the earth and mix with the ashes, a^^fte
which the seed may be sown and covered very lightly. Whe
the plants are about six inches high, transplant into rows fou
or five feet apart each way. Cultivate thoroughly with plot
and hoe.

Monthly Table for Sowing Grass, Field and Vegetable Seedt

WHAT TO PLANT AND WHEN TO PLANT FOR EACH MONTH IN THE YEAR.

The directions given here are for the latitude of New Orleans — the great vegetable-growing section of America. If appiied north
of here the time of planting will be later, while persons in a more southern latitude should start sowing earlier.

To attain success in growing vegetables it is absolutely essential that only Pure and Reliable Seeds be sown. REUTER’S PEER-
LESS VEGETABLE SEEDS are the STANDARD among the leading Market Gardeners in New Orleans, and are unexcelled for their
great purity and fine quality.

JANUARY.

Sow Beets. Carrots, Spinach, Radishes, Mustard, Turnips, Leeks.

Sow Lettuce, Endive, Cabbage, Broccoli, Kohlrabi, Large
Algiers. Early Snowball, and Dry Weather Cauliflower. As the
weather is rather unstable during this month, it is advisable to
sow in a frame and protect the young plants during the severe
cold weather, and set them out the latter part of February, or
beginning of March.

Chervil, Soup Celery, and Parsley should be sown. Sow Egg-
plants, Peppers, Tomatoes, and Cucumbers in hot beds. Herb
Seeds of all kinds should be sown this month. We handle all the
leading.^varieties.

Plant Peas of all kinds for spring crop, such as Black Eye
Marrowfat. Large White Marrowfat, Telephone, Stratagem, Cham-
pion of England, etc. The Extra Early varieties, such as Reuter’s
Peerless Extra Early. Early Washington Alaska, First and Best,
etc., do better if planted the latter part of this month.

Irish Potatoes should also be planted this month. Note our
list of standard varieties. Divide and transplant Shallots, also set
out Cabbage plants sown in November.

Onion Seeds can be sown in drills: the best varieties for this
section are the Red and White Bermuda, Crystal White Wax, Red
and White Creole, Australian Brown. White Queen, etc. Now is
the right time to sow Onion Seeds for sets. Sow Cucumbers in
dirt bands in the hotbeds and get them ready to set out in March,
or when danger of frost is over.

Plant Red Rust Proof Oats. Speltz, Seed Rye, Barley, Wheat,
Spring and Hairy Vetch, Alfalfa, all kinds of Clover. (Note our
select list.) Buckwheat, Dwarf Essex Rape, Kentucky Blue, Red
Top, Rescue, Johnson, Tall Meadow Oat, Meadow Fescue, Orchard
Grass, Timothy, all varieties of Millet, etc.

FEBRUARY.

Sow Beets. Carrots. Radishes, Mustard, Spinach. Parsnips,
Leeks, Turnips. Swiss Chard, and Kohlrabi.

Sow Lettuce. Cabbage, Cauliflower, Chervil. Soup Celery, Pars-
ley. and Endive. Shallots can be taken up, divided and set out.
All varieties of Peas can be planted now. Potatoes for general
crop should be planted. Sow all kinds of Herb Seeds. We handle
all the leading varieties. Plant Asparagus seed and roots.

Begin to plant Bush Beans as soon as the weather permits.
Cucumbers. Melons, and Squash can be planted in the open ground,
but must be protected with boxes. Continue to plant Eggplants,
Peppers and Tomatoes in hotbeds. At the end of this month Early
Corn can be planted.

In the Field, plant Alfalfa, Dwarf Essex Rape, Hairy and
Spring Vetch, and all kinds of Grass and Clover Seeds that are
planted in January. Sorghum can also be planted this month.
Mangel Wurzels and Sugar Beets should be sown for stock food.
Don’t fall to plant Lespedeza Clover this month. It is the best
hay crop and is a mortgage lifter. Don’t overlook our list of
famous Seed Corn.

MARCH.

Sow Beets. Carrots. Radishes. Lettuce. Spinach, Mustard, Swiss
Chard, Leek. Soup, Celery, Parsley, Chervil and Endive. Plant
Bush and Pole Beans of all kinds, but for Lima Beans would ad-
vise waiting until the end of the month, as they rot easily when
the ground is not warm enough or too wet. Sow Squash. Cucum-
bers. Melons, and Okra; set out Tomatoes, Peppers, and Eggplants
in the open ground and sow the seed for a later crop. Plant all
varieties of Peas. Plant Potatoes and Com.

■Sow Sorghums. Kaffir Corn. Dhouro, Milo Maize. Teosinte,
Broom Corn (we are agents for Ratekln’s Famous Seed Corn),
Alfalfa. Lespedeza or Japan Clover, and other well-known varie-
ties. Plant Cow Peas. Velvet Beans, Soy Beans. Canada Field
Peas, etc. Don’t be tempted by low prices on field seeds, as
usually the quality is lower than the price.

APRIL.

Sow Beets. Carrots. Parsley. Mustard, Radishes, Chervil, Soup
Celery, Lettuce. Endive. Escarol. Melons, Okra. Squash, Tomatoes,
Eggplants, and Peppers. Plant Bush and Pole Beans, also Lima
Beans. Pumpkins can also be planted now. Sow Kohlrabi in
drills. Early Cabbages may also be successfully sown this month.
Towards the latter part , of the month, sow Late Italian Giant
Cauliflower as it takes eight to nine months to mature properly,
and should, therefore, be planted early. Plant Tomatoes and Corn.

With (>rass and Field Seeds, continue to plant as in March,
nutting in a good forage crop when the ground is idle.

MAY

Sow Corn, Melons, Cucumbers. Squash, Eggplants, Tomatoes.
Peppers. Okra. Pumpkins, Bush and Pole Beans. Radishes, and
Endive. Plant the summer varieties of Lettuce, such as Reuter's
Early Market, Large Salamander. Royal Summer Cabbage, etc.
During the hot weather. Lettuce requires a great deal of water,
and it will, if neglected, soon become hard and tasteless. Celery
for bleaching may be sown this month, but requires plenty of
water. Sow Large Algiers and Early Italian Giant Cauliflower.
All varieties of Early Cabbages may be sown this month. Mexican
June, Squaw Corn and White Wonder if planted this month will
make a fine crop of roasting ears.

Plant Mangels and Sugar Beets for Winter stock feeding, also
Sorghums, Millet, Cow Peas, Soy and Velvet Beans. Field and
Broom (Ilorn can also be planted.

FARmogerM

WHAT FARMOQERM IS

Farmogerm is a pure culture, or growth of nitrogen-fixing
bacteria that have been selected and bred up to transform large
amounts of nitrogen from the air into soluble nitrates. These bac-
teria are grown in a Jelly, or food. In which they remain active
for long periods of time, and sent out in a bottle which admits
the necessary supply of pure air, yet keeps out destructive con-
tair inatlons. If alfalfa can be grown on hot, sandy land of South
New Jersey, why can’t you grow it?

WHAT FARMOGERM WILL DO

Unless the soil is very acid or wet, Farmogerm will:

1. Increase the yield and quality of legume crops, giving
quicker growth and earlier maturity.

2. Increase the food value of legumes.

3. Make legumes grow in new localities where they cannot
othsrwise be grown successfully.

4. Supply nitrates to other crops growing with the inocu-
lated legume crop.

B. Knrcih the soil for future crops, thereby increasing the
permanent value of the farm. Better crops — beter soil — less
fertilizer. — less labor.

Increased Crops are a well-established certainty ni all in-
stances where inoculations are used together with proper culture

methods. Not only is the crop increased in weight, but in its rich-
ness. The United States Department of Agriculture, Bulletin No.
71, substantiates these statements. Why not increase your farm
yields without extra labor and at practically no extra cost?

Fertilizer Values of well-inoculated legumes have long been
determined. It is shown in Buletin No. 71, issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture, that tests covering a large part
of the country prove that legumes will deposit 1,000 lbs. of nitrate
per acre. This means that your most expensive commercial
fertilizer is absolutely unnecessary when you plant legumes, per-
fectly inoculated, sown and planted in properly prepared land.

FIELD AND PARPEN PEAS AND BEANS, ALFALFA, CLOVER, Etc

Yield earlier, longer and beter when treated with Farmogerm.
Farmogerm is Indorsed by Farmers, Federal and State Agricul-
tural Departments and private estates. It is delivered to you in
bottles, ready for use. You can inoculate the seed for ten acres
in ten minutes.

BETTER CROPS

BOWKER’S PYROX

BETTER QUALITY

One Best Spray for Potatoes, Tomatoes, Eggplants, Cucumbers, Cabbage, Beans, Watermelons, Cartaloupes, Strawberries, etc.

Fyrox sticks to the foliage
through heavy rain, which
gives you a great advantage.
Most sprays wash off with
every shower. The Bowker
Company has been manufac-
turing Pyrox for fifteen years.
Its use is no longer experi-
mental.

Pyrox is a mixture with re-
liability and brains behind it;
a mixture with laboratory
and field experience to sup-
port it; a mixture made by
careful methods in a modern
pla;it under expert super-
vision.

Pyrox is a heavy, yet floc-
culent creamy paste that is
easily mixed with cold water
ant sticks like paint to the
foliage. It won’t wash off,
and it won’t clog the nozzles.

Quaranteed by the Bowker Insecticide Co.
under the United States Insecticide
Act of 1910, Serial No. 119.

, A tank full of Pyrox spray
will cover more than a tank
of other sprays, and you save
material. Pyrox won’t clog
the finest nozzle. Plave your
spray as fine as fog. Cover
every part of the foliage with
the fog, but don’t keep spray-
ijig until the leaves drip. You
have seen a window loaded
with drops of water during
the first minute or two of a
shower. You know it had
much more water on it then
than a minute later when the
drops had run together. Re-
member this when you spray
with Pyrox, and remember
also that you want these little
drops on the leaves just as
fine and as close together as
possible.

Remember — The market demands quality. First-class produce
never glutted a market yet; it is the inferior stuff that drives
the prices down. Tempt the consumers’ appetite with tempting
vegetables and you can double your market. Spray with Pyrox
and get quality.

"It has been clearly demonstrated that good land, good seed,
good tillage and good fertilizer will not produce an ideal crop in
the South without the protection of a good spray, but many
growers are just finding this out, and Pyrox is doing more for
bet:er crops than has been done in years by other agencies.” —
I From a Man Who Travels.

A tremendous change is taking place in the kind of crops
grown in the South. Every year more and more truck and
vegetables are being grown for the Northern markets, and the
South is destined to become the garden spot of the country. No
othsr section offers so many advantages of soil, climate and
season. We have the markets; the Northern cities need our pro-
duce; but the success of the trucking industry in the South de-
pends very largely on our ability to ship produce of the very
finest quality.

It costs nothing to spray with Pyrox, because it does these
things;

It kills leaf-eating worms and bugs.

It prevents blight, rot and fungus.

It has a healthful, stimulating action on the leaves which are
the lungs of the plnat.

It insures the crop.

It sticks to the foliage through heavy rains.

It saves labor — simply mix with cold water and spray.

It saves time — the fungicide and insecticide are applied in one
solution.

It increases the yield and quality of your crop by keeping
the plant healthy and vigorous throughout the growing season,
thus:

It adds to your profit and not to your expense.

Even if there were no bugs or diseases it would still pay to
spray with Pyrox for this Increase in yield and quality alone.

The Bridges & West Company, of Norwood, La., in a letter to
the Southern Farmer, dated July 29, 1914, in which they tell of
their experience and the almost complete failure of their crops
in 1913 on account of blight, say:

‘‘Our growers were determined that they would conquer the
blight and began spraying their tomato plants with Pyrox as soon
as they peeped out of the ground and continued until within a
few weeks of shipping time. The result is that they made a crop,
the prices were good, the greater part of the crop was sold f. o. b.
Norwood at an aberage price of more than 80 cents per crate of
four baskets. Many debts were paid and there is a smile on the
average trucker’s face that won’t come off.”

RATES

FOR SEEDS BY PARCEl

1 POt

Your postmaster will tell you the parcel post zone in which
your postoffice is located, measuring from New Orleans.

Ai the prices quoted in this catalogue, I deliver free to you Vegetable Seeds by the packet, ounce, quarter-pound and pound,
either by express or parcel post, my option. All Grass and Farm Seeds such as Oats, Alfalfa. Corn, Grain, etc., go by Freight or
Express at customer’s expense and option, unless a special delivered price is quoted.

On Beans, Peas and Corn, I pay the postage by the pint, quart and gallon. I reserve the option to ship either by express or

parcel post, using the cheaper method always.

All Seeds and Plants shipped by mail takes parcel post rates. Packages up to eight ounces in weight are carried at the rate of
one cent for every two ounces, regardless of distance. Packages over eight ounces are charged by the pound. The rate per pound varies
according to the distance, which is measured by the Government Zone System, each zone covering a certain number of miles from
point of shipment. Distances and rates are shown in the table below. Packages carried by the Parcel Post are handled like any o
other mail matter. They are delivered to your box by your rural mail carrier if you live on a rural route, or delivered to your
door if you live in a city where there is carrier service, or delivered to your local postoffice if you live where there is no carrier
S6rvic6.

In most Instances. Parcel Post Shipments are more desirable even if the cost is slightly higher than express shipments, be-
cause the package is usually delivered to your box, whereas it is sometimes necessary to drive several miles to the town to get an
express package.' If you desire to know what any quantity of seed will cost you delivered your station, use the QUOTATION RE-

QUEST SHEET. This information will be gladly furnished, without any obligation on your part to purchase.
