A BLUE RIBBON LAWN

BLUE RIBBON LAWN GRASS SEED

WILL grow on your soil, in your climate, and in whatever location you want Grass to grow. It is used and endorsed everywhere. We sell it to the largest and finest parks in the country, to the most critical owners of homes and estates, for large or small lawns, tennis courts, golf links, etc., and from all sections we get favorable reports. Sow it in February, March and April — one quart to 250 sq. ft., four bushels per acre.

BLUE RIBBON EVERGREEN

A Grass Seed for northern and middle latitudes, of which we sell thousands of pounds each year. We recommend it in place of straight Kentucky Blue Grass, as the latter is slow in starting and takes some time to make a good lawn when seeded alone. It is a mixture of the best Grasses for lawn purposes, which insures a fine green sward at all seasons of the year, no one Grass keeping in good condition throughout the season. It makes a lawn quicker, as some of the Grasses used grow rapidly and in a few weeks time they are ready to mow. Our seed weighs 20 pounds to the bushel, where the ordinary seed only weighs 14 pounds.

Prices, postage paid: Pint, 15c; quart, 25c; 4 quarts, 90c,

Prices, at buyers’ expense: Pint, 10c; quart, 20c; 4 quarts, 65c; peck (5 lb.), $1.25; bushel (20 lb.), $4.00; 5 bushels or over at $3.50 per bushel.

SHADY GREEN LAWN GRASS

This is especially prepared for damp and shady places where ordinary Grasses will not thrive. If you have large trees on your property or require a sod on the north side of some buildings, this is just the thing for you.

Prices, postage paid: Pint, 20c; quart, 35c; 4 quarts, $1.25; at purchasers’ expense: pint, 15c; quart, 30c; 4 quarts, $1.00; peck, $1.75; bushel, $6.00.

DIXIE VELVET LAWN GRASS

Our friends in the extreme South and dry Western States will find this of exceptional value. It is made up from extremely hardy varieties, those which withstand the hot sun and drouth, such as Bermuda Grass. It can also be used to advantage on dry banks exposed to the sun, where ordinary varieties burn out.

Prices, postage paid: Pint, 20c; quart, 35c; 4 quarts, $ 1 .25 ; at purchasers’ expense: pint, 15c; quart, 30c; 4 quarts, $1.00; peck, $1.75; bushel, $6.00.

BLUE RIBBON LAWN AND GARDEN FERTILIZER

Here is just what you need, whether making a new lawn or working over an old one. A specially prepared fertilizer, finely powdered and mixing readily with the soil. It contains all the essentials for producing quickly a fine velvety lawn. Just sprinkle it over the soil so as to cover it lightly — a five-pound package will cover a space 12x20 feet — work into the soil with a fork or rake, and then watch the grass grow. It makes the finest kind of top-dressing for any lawn. Scatter it over the grass lightly before a rain or before using the hose. Use it at intervals during the season.

Price. 5 lbs., 25c; 10 lbs., 50c; 25 lbs., $1.00; 50 lbs., $1.75; 100 lbs., $3.00.

rHE Season of 1914 was the best we have ever experienced. The Season of 1915 will be still better, and in order to take care of the trade to best advantage we have been enlarging and remodeling our mail-order de- partment, so that we now have one of the finest equipped establishments to be found in the country. We are iwoting an entire floor of the building shown on front cover to just mall-orders alone. Every possible arrangement is been made for prompt filling and mailing of orders.

We expect to have enough seed to meet all requirements and have in stock an exceptionally fine lot of seeds spite of the difficulties arising through the European war.

As fast as the new stocks have reached us they have been rapidly distributed into packages of various sizes ad with the advent of the new year we have hundreds of thousands of packets all ready to go into the mail.

We have taken over the second and third floors of the building adjoining us, which gives as some 10,000 I' luare feet of additional floor space^ and we are now in a position to take care of every order promptly.

“B/ue Ribbon* is our Trade-Mark. It stands for highest quality and every effort has been put forth to mam- ■in this quality and the enviable reputation our seeds have obtained and the immense increase in our business is le best evidence of our success.

Our great advantage as to location enables us to procure all classes of grass and field seeds of finest quality, J id with our large warehouses, especially equipped for re-cleaning and handling the stock, we feel we Ccui give our : jstomers better values than can be procured elsewhere.

We should like to thank our customers in person for their generous support, but this being impossible, we take lis means of thanking one and all. We hope you will have a prosperous season and the best season you have ever i cperienced.

Very sincerely yours,

WOOD, STUBBS & COMPANY.

Louisville, Ky., January 1, 1915.

Artichoke f

There are two distinct varieties grown. Of one, the Green Globe, we 1! use the flower bud. Of the other, the Jerusalem, we cook the roots. |

Green Globe \

A French vegetable grown quite extensively in the South. It is ] raised from seed which can. be started in a hot-bed in February and I transplanted in May or can be sown, outdoors in April, covering the seed one inch deep. When large enough to handle, transplant two feet apart. They will produce flower buds the second year from seed. The plants are not very hardy and should be mulched in the late Fall. They will not grow in the North. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; lb., $3.00. I

Jerusalem . |

This is a delicious vegetable and should be used much more than it is. i Hardy everywhere and wonderfully productive. Plant and cultivate like potatoes. Once in the ground it is hard to get rid of, sO' care should be i!| taken as to where it is grown. It furnishes splendid feed for hogs. They j can be turned into the crop and will haiwest it themselves, thriving well i on the roots. Elnough roots will always remain to renew the crop another : year. A couple of quarts will give an ample supply for the home garden.

It requires about six bushels to plant an acre. Per qt., 20c; by mail, 35c. Pk., 65c; bu., $2.00. Special prices on large quantities.

Asparagus

We advise every one who has a permanent garden to plant Asparagus. Once established it is good for years and furnishes a steady supply of a most delicious vegetable early in the season when such things are most ^ appreciated. '

It is not difficult to make an Asparagus bed. It is best started in the i Spring. The quickest results are obtained by purchasing plants one or two years old. Set these about two feet apart each way, six inches Asparagus Giant Argenteuil deep — the deeper they are, the later they are in starting in the Spring.

Do not cover the roots the entire six inches when first set out. Fhrrows ii can be made the proper depth, the plants covered three inches and after cultivation as the plants grow, you will have the ground level by the end of the first season.

Give good cultivation the first year and do not cut from the bed. Do not cut very close the Spring following. The third year you will have a good crop and can use it freely up to the time the stalks begin to get seedy, usually in May. Then let them grow and develop until Fall. After they are pretty well ripened cut them off and cover the bed with two to three inches of manure.

The ground should be dug deeply. Take off a foot of it with the spade and then dig up the soil below, mixng it with rotted manure. Replace the top soil and mark out your rows. You can grow Asparagus by merely spading the ground thoroughly the depth of the spade, but better results follow deeper work. The richer the ground the better your crop will ba It can be started readily from seed which is rather slow in sprouting, and an ounce will produce about 400 plants. Sow in the Spring and transplant the following Spring to permanent location. 100 plants are plenty for the average family. . . „ ,

The Asparagus beetle is sometimes troublesome and can be held in check by using a mixture of Hellebore and flour. Ten parts flour to one of Hellebore sprinkled over the plants. Slug Shot, sulphur or fresh slaked lime are also good applied while the dew is on the plants,.

These directions are for the home garden. For field culti- vation we would suggest reading a book entitled “Aspar- agus” by Hexemer, which we can furnish, for 50c.

Asparagus Seed

Columbian Mammoth White — Produces large white shoots even when not hilled up. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; % lb., 15c; lb., 50c; 5 lbs., 40c per lb.

Palmetto — Grown largely in the South. Rather earlier than other varieties. Of good size and quality. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 1/4 lb., 15c; lb., 50c; 5 lbs., 40c per lb.

Giant Argenteuil — This is a large variety, very vigorous and of fine flavor. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; i/4 lb., 15c; lb., 50c;

5 lbs., 40c per lb.

Conover’s Colossal — An old standard variety of good size and very hardy. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 14 lb., 15c; lb., 40c;

5 lbs., 35c per lb.

"T~^LUE^R-IBE>0N^SEEDS

Dwarf Beans

Also called String, Bush, Bunch and Snap Beans. One of the most popular vegetables Town and very easily produced. They are sensitive to cold and wet weather, so should ot be planted before April 1st in this latitude. Once the season arrives they can be own every two weeks on into August for a succession and take six to eight weeks to Toduce a crop of green Beans. Seed should be sown two to three inches deep in rows bout two feet apart, the plants standing about six inches apart in the row. Do not ultivate when wet. Any good garden soil is suitable for their growth. One pint will le sufficient for an average family, although, of course, if successive sowings are made^ nore will be needed. It requires from one to one and one-half bushels to plant an acre. We are again faced with an extremely short crop of hush Beans. There were ahso- utely no stocks carried over and we must depend on the past season’s crop to meet all •equirements. Early orders are urgently solicited, as all prices are subject to change without notice and will undoubtedly be higher as the season advances. Pive-cent I >ackets of Beans have proven unsatisfactory, as they do not contain sufficient seed for ;he home garden. We are, therefore, putting up extra large packets, for which we charge ;en cents.

Green Podded Varieties

When wanted by mail add 5c per pint, 10c per quart for postage

T WOOD.^STUE.BSi£/^CO.-INC

Pole or Corn Field Beans

These are much stronger growers than bush Beans and re- quire good, strong stakes. They give a much greater yield than bush Beans, but being more tender should never be planted before May in this section. Use poles about 8 feet long and set firmly four feet apart each way. Plant 5 to 8 Beans in a hill, li/^ to 2 inches deep. When well started thin to four plants in a hill. They are sometimes planted in the hills of field corn. One quart will plant 200 hills, one-half bushel an acre.

Improved Kentucky Wonder, Old Homestead or Texas Wonder

This is more largely grown than any of the either varieties on account of its being very vigorous and productive. The pods are often 9 or 10 inches long, being borne in large clusters and are quite stringless when young. The plants will continue to bear for weeks if the Beans are gathered as fast as they come to a suitable size. It is early and the best general purpose Bean in the list. We make a specialty of this and growers should try our Blue Ribbon Strain. Pkt., 10c; pt., 15c; qt., 30c; 4 qts., $1.00; bu., $6.50.

White Seeded Kentucky Wonder

Similar to the above except that the seed is white and pods not quite so large. It is desirable for shelling when green, also valuable as a dry Bean for Winter use. Known also as Berger’s Stringless Green Pod. Pkt., 10c; pt., 15c; qt., 30c; 4 qts., $1.00; bu., $7.00.

Horticultural Pole, October or Speckled Cranberry

A well-known variety with Beans of high quality, either green or dry. Not as vigorous a grower as some of the others. Also known as “Wren’s Egg.’ Pkt, 10c; pt, 15c; qt, 25c; 4 qts., 90c; bu., $6.00.

Horticultural Pole Bean

Red Speckled Cut Short or Corn Field

A popular variety for growing in corn, the vines being lighter than other varieties and will even grow without support; quite productive and of good quality. Pkt., 10c; pt, 15c; qt, 25c; 4 qts., 90c; bu., $6.00.

Fat Horse or Creaseback

Especially valuable on account _ of its earliness and the fact that the entire crop may generally be harvested at one time. The vines are small but produce large crops on good soil. Very good quality as snap Beans but the seed is rather small to shell green. Fine to use in the dry state. Pkt., 10c; pt., 15c; qt, 25c; 4 qts., 90c; bu., $6.00.

Lazy Wife

This is a good variety for either snap Beans or to be shelled when green. The medium sized pods are borne in clusters and are stringless and of fine quality. The dry Beans are white and valuable for Win- ter use, Pkt, 10c; pt, 20c; qt., 35c; 4 qts., $1.25.

SPECIAL PRICES

Those using large quantities of Beans and Peas shordd ask for price stating quantity required.

The dr^’- Beans being about twice as Pkt., 5c; pt., 15c; qt., 25c; 4 qts., 85c;

Wax Podded Varieties

These are just as tender and stringless as any of the Green Pod varieties and of delicious flavor. The pods have a waxy appearance and are a bright golden yellow. Should be picked before the Beans are formed, when the pods will be found brittle and stringless.

Wardwell’s Kidney Wax

A wonderfully popular variety largely planted both for the market and home gar- den. The plants are very productive and the pods large and handsome. Pkt., 10c; pt., 20c; qt., 35c; 4 qts., $1.25; bu., $9.00.

Keeney’s Rustless Golden Wax

Lima Beans

If wanted by mail, add 5c per pint and 10c per quart for postag-e.

Dwarf or Bush Varieties

We recommend this type as the Beans are much more easily grown and gathered than the pole varieties. They can be grown closer together, the quality is equally as good and as a rule the dwarf varieties are earlier than the Pole Limas. No Lima should be planted until the ground is dry, w(>at]ier warm and danger of frost is passed. They do best in light, rich soil. Plant in rows two to three feet apart, the seeds three or four inches apart and about two inches deep. When planted in hills, put 5 Beans in a hill, making the hills 2V2 feet apart each way. The pole varieties require treatment as ordinary pole Beans, except that they are usually planted about 10 days later. A quart of the large-seeded varieties will plant 100 hills; of the small-seeded, 200 hills. It requires one bushel and one-half bushel respectively tO’ plant an acre. Never cultivate when the plants are damp. They mature in from 75 tO' 90 days from planting.

Pole Varieties

Carpinteria

All things considered, this is undoubtedly the best pole Lima. It is unusually vigorous and produces a heavy crop of large pods, which contain 3 to 4 Beans of extra size and having a peculiar greenish tinge, denoting superior quality. It is highly recom- mended both for the home garden and market. Pkt, 10c; pt., 20c; Qt, 30c; 4 qts., $1.00; bu., $7.00.

About Bean Prices

It has been a very difficult matter to establish prices on Beans this season. Reports fro our growers were quite favorable until nearing time of maturity when heavy rains and e; tremly unfavorable weather was reported from all sections. Now that the crop has bet harvested and growers know exactly where they stand, it has developed that conditions a much worse than anticipated. This, together with the fact that last year’s demand used i; all the available stocks, both those held over and the short crop of 1913, makes it necessar to depend entirely on the short crop of 1914 for this season’s supply. Therefore, we sa buy early if you expect to plant Beans.

Broccoli

A vegetable resembling Cauliflower, but requiring a long, cool season. The heads are not as compact as Cauliflower, but the plants are hardier; should be given the same treat- ment. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; lb., 75c; lb., $2.50.

Ford’s Mammoth Podded Idma Bean

Beets

Any good garden soil will grow Beets, although all root crops do best in a fine loamy soil and one which is fairly rich. For early use the seed can be sown in a hot-bed and trans- planted, but an early crop can be obtained even if sown out- doors, for the seed should be sown soon as the ground can be worked. Put in rows 15 inches apart, the seed an inch deep and pack the soil well over it. When well started, thin to six inches apart. The young plants make excellent greens and the seed is often sown thick and the rows thinned for greens. Seed of such varieties as Crosby or Detroit Dark Red can be sown on to May for a late crop. One ounce will be sufficient for the average garden. Seven pounds to the acre. Ready to use in about six weeks from sowing.

Mangels and Sugar Beets

Every farmer should grow these for stock-feeding. Tliey are heavy yielders and are very valuable as feed, both for dairy cows and general stock. We cannot recommend them too highly. Seed can be sown in April, May or June, using six pounds per acre. Rows should be 21^ to 3 feet apart, and plants should be thinned to eight inches apart. Roots should be gathered before frost and stored in the barn or piled in the field where drainage is good. Cover gradually as the weather becomes cool, using straw first and a few inches of soil.

Cabbage

Tills IS a round-hieaded, extra-early Cabbag'e, which has come to the front very fast. It mig-ht be called an extra-early type of Danish Ball-head, the shape and quality being" much like that fine late Cabbage. Our strain has a short stem and produces a solid, round head.

$2.00.

There is no crop of which the quality of the seed is more important than this, and in order tO' grow profitable crops the ground must be well enriched and cultivation, thorough. For early use, seed can be started in January and February. For mid-Summer, in March, and for late Fall and Winter, seed can be sown up to the first of June. The plants can be set from 18 to 36 inches apart each way, according to variety. When the heads are mature they are inclined to crack and this may be prevented somewhat by loosening the roots, pushing the plants over on one side, accomplishing the desired results. Slug Shot, if sprinkled over the plants when damp will usually keep down the green worms which are troublesome, but this should not be used once the heads are developed. One ounce will produce 1500 plants; six ounces sown are enough for an acre.

Gentlemen — The garden seeds purchased from you have given excellent re- sults. The Copenhagen Market and Charleston Wakefield Cabbages were especially fine strains. The Copenhagen Market was the purest strain I have ever used, and proved a money- maker. EVery stalk made a good head in spite of the extremely dry weather.

WM. GENENWEIN.

These hardy Cabbage plants can be set out a month or six weeks earlier than home grown plants. The condition under which they are grown makes them very tough and hardy. The buds are purple, the outer leaves a reddish brown, which gives them a hard, stunted appearance, nevertheless they will produce the crop results. Eight to ten degrees above zero will not in- jure them, as they have an established root growth, obtained only in field grown plants.

To get the advantage of these frost-proof Cabbage plants they must be planted a month or six weeks earlier than you would plant home-grown plants.

We guarantee good order delivery, and can supply direct from our grower. Early Jersey, Charleston Wakefield, Succession, and Early Flat Dutch from Jan- uary 1st to April 15th at the following rates:

Cauliflower

A vegetable requiring very rich soil, con- stant cultivation and plenty of moisture to do its best. It is a good plan to set the plants at such times as to avoid their com- ing to maturity during the dry season. The early crop heading before and the late crop not coming on until after the dr5'' season is over. It requires 90 to 100 days from time of setting the plants until they mature heads. The leaves should be drawn up soon as the head begins to form in order to pro- tect them from the sun. One-fourth ounce will produce 500 plants, three ounces are required for an acre.

Celery

Celery seed is very slow in^ g-erminating- and should therefore be sown in finely prepared rich soil which can be kept moist. For early use it is advisable to sow in hot-beds or in shallow boxes in the house or earlj^ in April in the open grround. Pack the soil well over the seed with the foot or with back of the spade. Transplant soon as larg-e enough to handle, setting’ the plants 6 inches apart in the row. Trim off the tops of the plants and set firmly. It does best on soil where there is plenty of moisture but will grow on upland provided it is rich and the crop well cultivated. It can be planted in single or double rows in furrows a little below the level of the soil and earthed up as it grows. Care should be taken not to get the soil into the heart of the plant. When cold weather comes take up and set the plants closely together and cover gradually with straw and leaves to keep out frost.

Garden Corn

When wanted by mail add 5c per Pint and 10c per Quart for Postage.

Ttie early Garden Corns, such as the Adams and E'arly Northern Field Corn, ' can be planted the end of March or early in April. Sug-ar Corns cannot be planted i . until the ground begins to get warm. Frequent cultivation is necessary to have good Corn. The Adams and Northern Field Corn can be planted in rows three feet apart, the grains about 12 to 15 inches apart, one inch deep or in hills of six grains, three feet apart, each way. The Sugar or Sweet Corns, can be handled about the same except that such dwarf varieties as Golden Bantam and Mammoth White Cory can be planted rather closer. For succession, one can either plant several varieties which mature at different seasons or use one variety and planted every two weeks up to> July. A pint will plant 200 hills, six to eight quarts an acre. It will be ready for the table in from sixty to seventy i days from planting.

Cucumbers

Everybody can grow these and a few hills will furnish all that an averagei family requires both for use through the Summer and for pick- ' . ling. The soil cannot be too rich. Plant the seed' in, hills four feet apart each way, putting ten seeds to a hill, one inch deep. After dangei ' ■ from striped beetlesi isi past, thin to four good plants in a hill. Work the ground deeply where the hills' are made and mix in a couple of forks ■ of well-rotted stable manure. F'or very early planting, a few seeds car ■ be put in pots, strawberry boxes, pieces of sod, etc., or in a hot-bed ano when settled weather comes, transplanted tO' the open ground. The first i planting outdo'ors can be made in this section about May 1st and for latt pickles seed can be put in in June and July. Do- not allow any cucum- li bers to ripen on the vines, as the latter will cease bearing as soon as ! Cucumbers mature. The striped beetles are frequently very troublesome It is well tO' mix some tobaccO' dust with the soil where the seed is sown (t or scatter tobacco stems about and when the plants are well up, dust | with slug' shot or bug death every day or so until the plants are well i along. Do not wait until the beetles have become troublesome, as they ; destroy the plants very rapidly. lOne ounce of seed is sufficient for 50 ■ hills, 2 pounds per acre. They will be ready for use in about two months ' from sowing the seed. 'j

]targe growers of sets should write for special prices on seed.

On© of the most popular vegetables and should be in every garden, large or small. It can be raised readily either from sets or seed, both of which should be planted soon as the ground is in working order. The seed can also be sown in hot-beds early and transplanted to; rows 12 inches apart, the plants four inches apart in the row. When handled in this way the larger varieties, such as Prize Taker or Silver King, are generally used. The seed can be sown in the open ground in rows 12 inches apart and thinned to three inches apart for large Onions. If grown for sets, seed should be sown thickly and not thinned. Onions require rich soil and constant cultivation. The soil should be well prepared before the crop is planted, Elarly green Onions can best be obtained by planting sets, either Potato Onions or the small Onions raised from seed. Potato Onions can be planted in the Fall or Spring, about two inches deep, th© regular sets early as possible in the Spring. If not used as green Onions, they will mature much earlier than Onions from seed. If larg© Onions are desired sow five to six pounds per acre; for pickling Onions, 15 pounds per acre, and for sets 40 to 60 pounds per acre.

Parsley

Parsley is easily grown, only it takes several weeks for it to come up, hence the ground where it is sown is often covered with weeds or dug over with the belief that the seed is no good. The seed may be soaked several hours in warm water before sowing which will hasten germina- tion. Sow it early in the Spring in rows a foot apart. It can also be used to border beds, making a very pretty effect. One ounce will sow a 150-foot row. A few plants can be taken up in the Pall and put in pots or boxes in a sunny window and will continue to furnish leaves for flavoring or garnishing throughout the Winter.

Parsnips

Peanuts

Peas

One of our best Winter vegetables: and very easily grown. Seed can b© sown soon as the ground is in condition to work. Thinning the plants to four inches apart as soon as they are large enough to handle. The rows should be 15 to 18 inches: apart. The seed covered about one-fourth inch and the ground well packed over it as the seed sprouts very slowly and may take about three weeks to come up. The roots will be much finer if the ground has been worked deeply. Parsnips can either be dug in late Fall and pitted or left in open ground throughont the Winter. For the home garden the latter is preferable as the roots are much finer flavored after they have been well frozen in the open ground. One ounce of seed will sow 200 feet of drill; five toi six pounds per acre.

Large buyers will please ask for special prices.

Peas are readily grown in all gardens and should be planted early as the ground is in working order. The hard, round Peas such as Blue Ribbon Chieftain, Claudit and Alaska, are the hardiest and can be sown a week or two- ahead of the Wrinkled Peas and as Nott’s Etxceksuirm Gradus, etc.

The early varieties will co-me on faster if they are planted rather shallow, a couple of inches being deep enough, but the later plantings should be covered three inches, the soil being well packed over the .seed. One will usually get a better average crop by planting all varieties early and de- pending on the different varieties to furnisih a succession, rather than using on© variety and planting it at intervals during the season as Peas make their growth in cool weather an( should be well started by hot weather time. While the seed can be sowm in single rows, a very satisfactory way i.‘ to open with a hoe, the full width of it and broadcast the seed thinly in the bottom. If brushing or staking i; , done, rows of this sort are much easier handled than single rows. For Fall use, seed of the early varieties;, can be sown in August. A pint of seed is required for a single row 50 feet in length; one and a half to two bushels per acre. In garden cultivation the rows of the dwarf er kinds can be two and a half feet apart, but the tall varieties'! wall require three feet. The hard, round Peas will be ready for use in 50 to 60 days. The others require a little longej’l time.

Second crop Potatoes are usually planted from the middle of July on to the tenth of August in this section.

Potatoes can be planted in rows about two and a half feet apart, the Potatoes being 10 or 12 inches apart in the row. Use 8D0 to 1000 pounds broadcast of Acme Potato' Fertilizer or 500 pounds in the rows, per acre. It requires three barrels of Second Crop or four of Northern Grown to plant an acre.

Potato' prices are constantly changing. Ask for prices when ready to plant. Sacks are included at prices quoted.

Culture — Put the Potatoes into hot-beds in April, covering with three inches of earth, and after they begin to grow give plenty of air on sunny days and water -regularly. In May or June set out in rows three feet, apart and fifteen inches apart in the rows. The land should be plowed shallow in order tO' produce the short, chunicy PotatO' most largely in demand. Apply a fertilizer having only a small percentage of nitrogen and a large amount of potash, such as Acme Brand Potato Fertilizer.

We can supply the following varieties in April: Yellow Jersey, Red Jersey, Red and White Bermuda, and Southern

Queens.

I'

I:

An Invaluable Bistrihutor of Insecticides and Pungicides in the Orchard, Vineyard, Garden or Field

The Champion Gun has received unqualified endorsement and given universal satisfaction wherever used. It distributes without adulteration dry Paris Green, London Purple, Hellebore, Lime, Dry Bordeaux Mixture, Tobacco Dust, and other insecticides evenly and with only one-tenth of the labor, time, and cost required by other devices and any other meth- ods, and with far greater efficiency. It will cover one or two rows at once as fast as a man walks, can be regulated easily for quantities and will do as much work in a day as a horse-power sprayer. Champion Guns have been used ex- tensively in Potato and Tobacco sections and have always given perfect satisfaction. They are adaptable to any and all purposes and do efficient work on potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, etc. ,in fact all garden and field crops. EIxtension tubes enable the gun to be used on fruit and shade trees or in the vineyard. Among potato and tobacco growers they have become almost indispensable, performing their work in an effective and rapid manner without waste of material, and by far the most economical instrument ever offered for applying remedies for insects. Circulars giving fur- ther information on application. Price with all at- tachments, $8.00.

Acme Powder Bellows

A simple and practical implement for applying all powdered insecticides, such as Paris Green, Helle- bore, Insect Powder, Slug Shot, etc. It is very ef- fective in the destruction of potato bugs, currant worms, melon bugs, tobacco worms, cabbage worms, and other insects that affect plants. It will apply powder at the top sides or underneath the leaves of plants; Acme Powder Guns are well made, with solid hardwood head block, hardwood handles, best leather for the bellows, and an extra elbow is fur- nished to tilt the funnel for getting under the leaves of the plants and shrubs. It is easy to operate, light, serviceable, and the most useful to farm or garden. EJvery farmer should have one. Single Acme Bellows, each $1.00; Double Acme Bellows, each $1.75.

Paris Green

A strong and effective poison for potato bugs and other leaf-eating insects. Can be applied either dry or in a solution of water; if dry use one of the above dusters; if diluted use one pound of Green to 100 gallons of water. For tender foliage or trees double the quantity of water. Paris Green acts a little quicker than Arsenate of Lead, but washes off more easily. It is better to use on garden crops or tobac- c^o, and Arsenate of Lead is best for trees. Paris Green and Bordeaux Mixture give excellent results on Potatoes, the Green killing the bugs and the Bor- deaux preventing blight. Price fluctuates. Present price, 1/2 lb., 15c; lb., 20c; 5 lbs. at 18c; 100 lbs. about 15c per lb.

Squash or Cymling

There are two types of these, the Summer and Winter varieties. The former are used when they are about half-grown and are soft and tender, but are of no value when matured. Tlie Winter Squash is one of our finest Winter vegetables and should be largely grown. No variety can be planted until the weather has become warm, as the plants are very susceptible to cold, damp weather. For the Summer varieties, hills, can be made four to six feet apart. For the Winter varieties they should be eight to ten feet apart. The ground should be made very rich. Sow eight or ten seeds in a hill and after danger from bugs or cutworms is over, thin to four plants in a hill. The striped beetle and large Squash bug are very troublesome, but can be held in check if tobacco dust or stems are freely used in the hills and the plants dusted frequently about with slug shot, air-slaked lime or fine dry ashes mixed with road dust. An ounce of the Summer varieties will plant 30 hills; of the Winter sorts, 15 hills.

Seed can be grown in a hot-bed or in boxes in the house for earliest plants and later in cold-frames or in the open ground as soon as danger of frost is past. If sown thinly in rows they will stand until large enough to handle. Enough plants can be started in an ordinary cigar box tO' supply the average family, but they would of course have to be trans- planted to pots or other boxes tO' afford room for growth. Tomatoes are one of the earliest vegetables to grow from seed and all should have them as they are not at all particular as to soil. Where possible it is well to make this rich, either with stable manure or a good potash fertilizer. Set the plants three to four feet apart each way and cultivate welL An ounce of seed will produce about 1500 plants. Three to four ounces are sufficient for an acre.

Turnips

Turnips are very easily grown, but to have roots of good quality they should make a rapid groiwth. For early i Summer use, it is advisable to get them sown early (February or March), so that growth can be made before hot ' weather comes. For Fall or Winter use, sow from July to September. They can be sown in drills or broadcast. An j ounce will sow 400 feet of drill, or a plot 19x19 feet broadcast. An acre requires one and a half pounds if drilled, or two pounds broadcast. The ground can hardly be too rich and seed will start much quicker if sown in freshly stirred soil. When sown in drills, thin out as soon as plants are large enough to handle. The salad, Turnips require three ! pounds to the acre. Ruta Baga or Swede Turnips should be sown in July or early August and be well cultivated. '

Turnips are very fine for stock-feeding, as well as for table use, and should be grown more largely. They are very ■' productive, easy to grow and the cost of seeding is practically nothing. Our Turnip seed is French grown and is. extra fine.

Blue Ribbon Flower Seeds

There are very few places where some variety of flower n cannot be grown and certainly where there is any space a i all, one should have flowers. Our list is not an extensiv j ( one, but there is a sufficient variety that all can hav ' flowers, who will devote a little time and attention t' a i their care, and experience is not necessary to produce man; ^|j of our most popular varieties. For the beginner, we woul / suggest such kinds as Alyssum, Aster, Calliopsis, Centaurea ; Cosmos, Nasturtium, Dianthus, Poppies, Verbenas and Zin | nias. These all grow readily from seed, but care should h taken to keep the ground moist where they are sown. They in common with all other seeds, should be sown thinly am i the ground pressed firmly over them, when they are covered ;

It is a good plan to sow in rows four inches apart, three quarters of an inch deep, and then transplant to the perma nent garden later. This applies to all the above with ex ception of Poppies, which will not transplant and can bt sown where they are to flower, and to Nasturtiums, whicl have large seeds and can be sown a couple of inches apart one and a half inches deep, where they are to flower. ' We hear the terms Annual, Perennial, and Biennial usee in connection with plants and these indicate their length ol life in the garden. Seeds of an Annual plant sown thu Spring produce a crop this season and diei in the Fall as soon as frost comes. Asters, Cosmos and Zinnias are com- mon types of Annuals. Seeds of Perennials produce plants this season which, with few exceptions, will not flower this year, but live over to next season, and then flower. Most of them continue to live for a number of years and these There are comparatively few Biennials and these are plants

Semple’s Branching* Aster

constitute our “Hardy Flowers” such as Hollyhocks, Sweet William, etc. which, growing from seed sown this Spring, do not flower this year, but live over until next year, flower, and then die. The Cam panula or Canterbury Bell is a well-known form. The Foxglove also, except that if not allowed to ripen seed, the latter will develop a new growth at the root and live over to the second year.

Annuals are designated as hardy, half-hardy and tender. All hardy Annuals can be sown when Peas and Radishes are in the vegetable garden. Heilf-hardy Annuals may be sown at corn-planting time, or when there is little danger of frost, and tender Annuals should not be sown until the ground is warm and weather settled; usually in May.

The abbreviations, A-P-B, indicate the type of plant. Annual, Perennial or Biennial, respectively, and the letters, H. A., H. H. A., and T. A., indicate Hardy Annual, Half-hardy Annual, and Tender Annual.

These are almost hardy enough to live out over Winter and then make their best growth in the cool part of the season. The only way to> have them last at all, once the hot weather somes is to have them deeply rooted by that time, so plant as soon as you can stir the ground in the Spring, when it is not i 'si muddy, covering three inches. The frost will not hurt them if it should come I :

after they are up, so plant early. They do not make much growth above

ground for two or three weeks after they are up, but should be cultivated [i regularly. The ground can scarcely be too rich for them and they grow much better when wel away from walls, the side of the house or board fences. 'i, ;

Plant Thinly. That is, the seeds should be at least an inch j|i- apart, two inches is better. Give plenty of water as soon as |; |- vigorous growth begins. Give the vines support just as soon i I as they show growth. Seed can be sown in the Fall, November ,

being a good time. It will not make any growth until Spring, ■

liiit will start soon as the frost is out.

The New Countess Spencer Type

This is the largest and finest type of; Sweet Peas in existence. The plants are just as vigorous and hardy as the ordinary kinds; the flowers, half again as large and as they rarely seed in this country, the vines are not weakened and [i flower longer. The colors are just as varied and taken all together they are ii by far the finest of all.

Summer Flowering Bulbs

Under this heading' will be found some of our most popular flo-wers. , There is nothing finer than the modern Dahlia and Gladiolus for? bloom. While the Ganna furnishes us with both gorgeous bloomv and tropical foliage, the C'aladium is indispensible for formal! beds, outlining the garden;, or as a single specimen on the lawn. All the plants under this heading are very easily handled.

Dahlias

To secure the best results. Dahlias should be planted in a sunny location. Prepare the ground thoroughly by diggingj it deeply and use only a moderate amount of manure unless! the ground is very poor. Water moderately. Many people think it is necessary to plant a large clump or whole root to secure a plant. This is wrong. The stem of the tuber will develop several buds and if each of these is cut off with a portion of the root, each one will make a strong plant. Where the whole clump is planted it is necessary to thin out the shoots that grow from it in order to secure strong, stocky growth so that nothing is gained in planting the whole root. When planting, lay the tuber or root on its side, covering four inches and press the soil firmly over it. Cultivate frequently and draw up the soil about the plants. To make the plants stocky, pinch out the tops when they are about six inches high. Cut the flowers in the evening as they last better when cut at this time; Plants should be set three feet apart. We send out strong divided roots at prices q,uoted by mail postpaid at single and dozen prices.

This iS’ a flower which has as great variation in color as the Pansy; if fine for garden, decoration and no- flower is as satisfactory for cutting ■ for, if cut when the first flower opens and kept in fresh water, ever> | bud will open and this extends over a week or soi Apart from its beautj , it is as easy to grow as a potato. Plant the bulbs 4 to 6 inches deep I and 6 inches apart from April 1st to May 15th, in this locality. The;\ : will not flower in the shade, but are not particular as to soil, of course ' the richer the better, but do not use fresh manure in the ground. Wher ' cutting the flower spike, it can be cut down to within three full leaves of the ground without harming the development of the bulb. About the middle of October, dig the bulbs, cut the stems off about two inches above the bulb, shake off the soil and dry for a couple of weeks in a place free from frost. At the end of this time, both stem and old roof can be rubbed off, leaving the bulbs clean. They can then be stored ir paper sacks or shallow boxes until -Spring.

Our Warehouses at 14th and Walnut Streets

Blue Ribbon Recleaned Grass and Clover Seed

Our Facilities

We are better equipped to supply high-grade Grass, Qover, and Field Seeds at lower prices than any other firm in the United States. \’ We do not state this egotistically, but state facts as follows:

Our central location in the grass-seed-producing sections enables us to purchase from first hands to the very best advantage, and our r railroad warehouse at 1 4th and Walnut Streets is most complete in all equipment for unloading cars, weighing, re-cleaning, sacking, and fi handling all field seeds in the most up-to-date manner. We have facilities for unloading five cars at a time. Equipment for unloading : cars in bulk, elevating, weighing, re-cleaning, sacking in even weight sacks, all without any hand labor further than shoveling from the cars. Our self-cleaning machines are the most up-to-date in the country, some of them are of special design, made for us for doing par- ticular work. Warehouses proper have about 68,800 square feet of space, and in addition we have bin capacity for bulk seed and grain for about sixty cars,

VALUE in Grass Seeds depends on three things. Quality, Germination, and Purity. Seeds may be clean but of inferior quality from immatxirity or size, therefore a high purity test does not always mean good value. Purity can be readily determined by analysis, Germina- I tion by actual sprouting of the seeds, but Quality only judged by competent experts.

We mainteiin a complete laboratory, in charge of a graduated and competent Seed Analyst, for rigid and thorough testing for purify i and germmation, and our Blue Ribbon Brands are of finest quality, highest purity, and best germination.

How to Succeed With Meadows, Pastures, Etc.

PREPABATIOy

Too much stress caainot be laid on thorough preparation of soil if the largest and most successful crops are to be produced. Foul land would be better if put in some grain crop or millet at first for smothering out weeds. Thorough plowing and repeated harrowing will pay handsomely, and no matter if it does take a little more expense, the results will justify in many times increased returns.

FERTHiIZUBS

Commercial fertilizers, either raw bone or mixed goods, provided they are of high analysis, give good results on grasses. Danger of weeds is eliminated and increased yield will be produced for years. Two hundred to four hundred pounds can be applied when seed is sown, harrowing in with the seed, and beneficial results will be obtained with a top dressing of 100 to 260 pounds per acre on old meadows or pastures, for improving the yield.

returning the same way sowing the other half, so that it is spread uniformly all over the field. Cover grass seeds very little; clover and heavy seeds inch. Always roll after covering.

CARE OF MEADOWS

After grass is well sown, usually no further care is nec- essary until cutting. If bare spots appear, a little more seed can be scattered over them, and in poorer spots in, the field more fertilizer applied. A little watching in this re- spect will make an even, regular crop. Timothy meadows or mixtures should never be pastured. The tramping of cattle will kill this out very quickly, and where mixtures of timothy and other grasses are used for hay, stock should not be allowed on it until thoroughly well estab- lished. It is far better to mow off the first crop where practicable and turn stock after the second growth has started well.

SOWING-

Sqwing can be done either in Spring or Pall. If in the Spring, February and March are best for the Middle States, and April for Northern latitudes, and sowing can be done in nearly all the Summer months in extreme Northern States. Fall sowing in middle latitude is best in August and September, many farmers sowing in October, when Fall grain is sown. In the Southern States grasses are sown in most of the Winter months, and clovers after danger of freezing. The seed can be sown with a drill running shal- low, or with a rotary seeder, wheelbarrow seeder, or by hand. Mark off the land in a width that can be conven- iently sown, dividing the seed for such portion, sowing one- half in going one way over the portion of the land, then

RENOVATION OF OIiE, WORN-OUT FASTURES

Is sometimes practiced by harrowing over and sowing more seed and fertilizing. Sometimes, also, in hard-packed soils, deep furrows are plowed at an interval across the* field to break up the hard soil underneath, and allow moisture to rise from the lower strata. As a general rule, it is better to break up any meadow or pasture which is not yielding as it should, cultivate thoroughly, sow in a grain crop or plant in corn, then thoroughly pulverize again and reseed, fertilizing heavily. If all of it can not be done at once, take part at a time, and when the new pasture is ready, one-fourth of the amount of the pasture properly sown will usually yield as much grass as the whole in its worn-out condition.

Kentitcky Blue Grass

Red Top or Herds Grass

Agrostis Vulgaris)— Succeeds better on more soils than any other grass and in all sections of the United States. Grows slowly but becomes very vigorous later and spreads rapidly into a compact sod. Suitable to stiff soils and in low situations subject to overflow, producing luxuriant growth, attaining a height of 3 to 3i^ feet. For the best quality hay it should be cut when in bloom; ripens about the same as Timothy. Price this season remains high on account of the dry season.

Tall Meadow Oat Grass

(Avena Blatior) — Sometimes called Evergreen Grass or French Rye Grass. Very desirable for permanent pasture and meadows, because of its early growth, also from the fact it produces a heavy growth after being mown, and lasts several years. It grows wherever Orchard Grass will. When sown alone it covers the ground well, but is alsO' de- sirable to use in mixtures such as our Nos. 1 and 2. Pres- ent prices.

Timothy

(Phleum Pratense) — No Grass is better known than this nor more generally grown, as it produces the best hay of all Grasses, but is of little value for pasture. It produces good hay on almost any class of land but in this section is best suited to bottom lands or good, rich, well-drained soil. It yields about 1V2 to 2 tons of hay per acre which is al- ways in demand. Frequently used to seed down with wheat or rye in the Fall. If used alone, sow one peck per acre. Our Blue Ribbon Brand is fancy, heavy seed of high germination. Present price. Blue Ribbon Brand, per lb., 10c; per bu. (45 lb.), $3.25; 5 bu. lots, $3.15 per bu.; bags 22c each extra.

It generally grows well on any stiff or loamy soils in Central and Northern States where rich, moist though moderately well-drained, and | succeeds fairly well in some sections of the South where i lime is present in the soil, being largely used with Ber- I muda Grass. Kentucky Blue Grass is at its best in the Spring and Fall months, but being rather sensitive to heat does not grow luxuriantly during Summer. It takes a considerable time to- get a good stand of this, as it grows very slowly at the start, but when once establish- ed forms a close, compact turf, making a fine pasture, and is most excellent for lawns. It is better to use a combi- nation of grasses than Kentucky Blue alone, as other ? grasses which grow more luxuriantly at first will form s the sod, but when Kentucky Blue is well established it will gradually spread over the entire plot, providing the> land is at all suitable for it. It is; however, often sown alone at the rate of 2 to 3 bushels for pasture and 4 to 5 bushels for lawn purposes.

Orchard Grass

(Dactylis Glomerata) — ^This is one of the very best Grasses for upland, loamy or moderately stiff soils, af- fording a large amount of pasturage as well as making excellent hay if cut when in bloom. It grows about three feet high and matures much earlier than Timothy, does not exhaust the soil and will produce two to three tons per acre of fine hay. Having a tendency to grow in clumps, it does better if sown thickly 1)4 to 2 bushels being the amount usually sown. It does especially well if used with other Grasses in mixture such as suggested in our Mixture No. 2 as given on page 7. We regret to have to report a very short crop again this year and prices are subject to change at any time. Present prices. Blue Ribbon Brand, fancy re- cleaned seed per lb., 20c.; per bu. (14 lb.), $2.10; 5 bu. and over, $2.00.

Italian Rye Grass

(Bolium Italicum) — A valuable Grass for moist soils, making a rapid growth used either alone or in mixture with other Grasses for hay. If sown alone, use two to three bushels per acre, if with Red Clover Vz to 1 bu. per acre. Per lb., 15c; per bu. (14 lb.), $1.00; 5 bu. and over, 90c per bu. Bags included.

Perennial Rye Grass

(Bolium Perenne) — Used very largely in Europe for both hay and, pasture and well adapted to this section also for both. It is a strong grower, starting early in the Spring and can be used to> great advantage in mixtures. When sown alone use two to three bushels per acre or S to 1 0 lb. in mixture. Per lb., 10c; per bu. (14 lb.), $1.00; 5 bu. and over, 90c per bu. Bags included.

Hungarian Brome Grass

(Bromus Inermus) — Known in most places as Awnless Brome Grass. Grows well in all parts of the country and is especially valuable for poor, dry soils, either for hay or pasture. Can be used to advantage with other Grasses. Used alone, two to three bushels of seed per acre are re- quired and this can be sown either in Spring or FalL Per lb., 20c; bu. (14 lb.). $1.65.

Sudan Grass [

This grass has been introduced by the Department of | Agriculture and is recommended for the hot, dry regions • of the South and Southwest, although it appears to do well in almost any soil or climate. It belongs to the Sorghum family, is somewhat similar to Johnson Grass, only more thrifty, growing from 4 to 7 feet high with small stems and an abundance of broad leaves. Its root ^ system is similar to that of Millet, it being an annual grass, hence it has not the objectionable roots of John- son Grass. It stools freely and produces the best hay of any of the Sorghum family. When sown for hay, it is broadcast at the rate of about 8 lb. per acre, seeding being done in the Spring. It will yield from 8 to 12 tons of hay per acre. Per lb., 40c; 10 lbs. at 35c per lb.; 100 lbs. at 32c per lb.

Bermuda Grass

(Csmodon Dactylou) — Very popular and a great boon in the South for pasture; when once established no amount of drought or hot weather will kill it out. It succeeds on nearly all soils, furnishing a constant growth of grass during the Summer, but becomes brown and bare in the Pall and Winter. It cannot be recommended too highly for pasture and general culture in the South, and it is also excellent for Summer lawns. Its strong, creeping roots will absolutely prevent wash. Per lb., 60c; postpaid, 70c; 10 pounds and over at 55c per pound.

Orchard Grass

Johnson Grass

(Sorghum Halapense) — A most prolific perennial hay and pasturage grass, eminently suitable to hot dry climate and soils. It makes excellent hay and furnishes an enor- mous amount of grazing. No droughts, methods of culture, or application of chemicals to eradicate it will destroy it when once sown, therefore we do not recommend it to be sown on any land which is intended in future years for other crops. The best time for cutting is before the heads appear, as if allowed to ripen it becomes unfit for stock. Sow in the Spring, March or April, at the rate of 1 to IV2 bushels per acre. Price, Blue Ribbon Re-cleaned Quality, per lb., 20ci; bu. (25 lbs.), $3.50; 5 bushels and over, $3.25 per bushel. Bags included.

Wood, Stubbs & Co.*8 Special Pasture Mixture

This is a special mixture for affording a quick growing and lasting pasture for stock and poultry and can be used advantageously on side lots or in fields where sod of some- what rough turf is desired. It is suitable either for high or low ground, and will afford grazing from early Spring until late Autumn, but can not be cut for hay. Sow 16 pounds per acre. Price; 16 Ib., $1.60; 100 lb., $8.50; bags included.

The farmer who includes clover in his rotation of crops is the man who is to-day growing larger crops of all grain, year in and year out, than he who follows any other rotation. It will pay as a hay crop or pasture to say nothing of the improvement in the soil after i growing clover a year or so, then fields which have once grown a cr op of clover are very readily seeded again. No clover does well on sour soil. Use lime freely where necessary but grow clover in some form and remember that we now have in addition to the regular types of Sapling and Medium Red (the common forms). Crimson Clover for late Summer or Fall seeding; Alfalfa, the most vigorous and lasting of all Clovers ; Bokhara or Sweet Clover, a big thrifty plant which will grow on land too poor for emy of the other types and in one or two seasons put the land in condition to grow any of them, and Japan Clover, an annual plant sown in the Spring and thriving on waste

land and that which is too poor for other crops. All these are de- scribed under separate headings and are well worthy of your considera- tion.

Red Clover

(Trlfolinm Pratense) — T h ©

most important of all Clovers and known everywhere. Us- ually sown in the Spring-, but can be sown in the Pall also, especially if it is' seeded alone or with other Grasses. Use Vs to Vi bushel per acre alone and 5 to 6 lb. if used with other Grasses and be careful where you buy seed, for there are many grades offered, con- taining weed seed hard to clean out. Prices govern quality, and our Blue Bibbou. Brand is of- fered as low as it is possible to sell fancy seed. Price, 20c per lb.; $10.50 per bu. of 60 lb.; 5 bu. and over, $10.25. Bags holding 2V2 bu., 22c each extra. Prices fluctuate. Ctirrent prices on request.

White Clover

(Trifolium Repens) — The

White Dutch Clover is a dwarf and very lasting plant, growing everywhere and is an excellent addition to permanent pasture mixtures. Always used in lawn mixtures, as it forms a close sod and does not wash in heavy rains. Famous also as a bee plant. Sow 1 to 2 lb. per acre in mixture. Price per lb., 45c; 5 lb. and over, 40c per lb. Bags 22c each extra.

All carefully recleaned by our own special equip- j; ment. In shipping Clover seed, we use seamless cotton bags which we charge for at cost 22c each. In remitting please do not fail to allow for bags.

Sapling or Mammoth Clover

Known also as Pea Vine and i English Clover. Very much : like the Red, only larger and later, coming into bloom about ■ three weeks later than the me- dium red. Use the same amount i| of seed per acre. Price, Blue '1 Ribbon Brand, per lb., 20c; per bu. (60 lb.), $10.75; 5 bu. and over, $10.50. Bags 22c each ex- tra, Current prices on request.

Alsike or Swedish Clover

(Trifolium Hybridum) — Very desirable variety to use in con- nection with Timothy or Red Top. Nat so strong a grower as i the medium red, the blossoms ' being much lighter in color, rather resembling white clover. It is hardier than other clovers, hence mare lasting and will grow better on damp ground. When used alone, sow 5 to 8 1 lb. per acre; in mixtures 3 to 4 lb.

A Second Cnttinff of Alfalfa (Courtesy C. C. Clay Alfalfa Land Co., DemopoUs, Ala.)

Alfalfa or Lucerne

The hardiest and most lasting’ of all Clovers and« ■when once established the most productive as -well as the best soil enricher of all. It can be cut for hay several times a year, yielding bountifully at each cutting and the hay is of the highest feeding value. When established Alfalfa yields 4 to 8 cuttings per season, depending upon the section. It should not be grazed. When to be used for green feed, cut in the morning and let it wilt a little, as too much green food is apt to injure stock. For hay, cut closely when in bloom, let it lie 24 hours, then rake in windrows, and when dry stack in field with straw covering or store under cover like clover, handling as little as possible to keep from shedding the leaves. With an occasional top dress- ing of manure, and ordinary care an Alfalfa field will last for twenty years, and the best crops are usually produced when three or four years old. It is sown very largely ini the Summer and Fall to avoid weeds and in seeding at such time, two cut- tings can be made the following year. The ques- tion of securing a good stand of Alfalfa is largely settled by thorough preparation of the soil not at- tempting to start it on poor soil and not seeding on wet land. It does best on a loamy lime- stone soil, the lime being very essential to its growth; and where lime is absent from the soil, it should be added and as the roots penetrate to a great depth, it is not advisable tO' sow it on very heavy clay soils. The ground cannot be too well prepared. Flow deeply, harrow thoroughly, mak- ing the top soil fine as possible, then roll to make it firm. Use 20 lb. of seed to the acre, sowing broadcast. Harrow lightly to cover the seed, then roll again. If possible, apply about 200 lb. of some good fertilizer. Generally speaking, inocula- tion is not necessary, but if desired we can fur- nish inoculating material and will gladly furnish full particulars regarding its use. Spring seeding is done largely. The seed is also sown in August in this vicinity, farther South,, in Setpember and October. Be careful about the seed you buy. Old Alfalfa seed is worthless. There is also a lot of adulterated seed offered. You can depend on our Blue Ribbon Brand, Price per lb., 20c; 10 lb., $1.80; bu., $10.00; 5 bu. lots, $9.75 per bu. Bags 22c each extra.

Bokhara or Sweet Clover

Melilotus Alba, Biennial (Bokhara or White Sweet Clover) Melilotus Officinalis, Biennial (Yellow S<weet Clover) and Melilotus Indica, a yellow flowered annual species, rather smaller than Melilotus Officinalis and found very largely in the Far West, comprise the varieties that are generally grown. The first mentioned, Melilotus Alba, is the strongest grower and the best of the three varieties. When young it resembles Alfalfa to such a degree that it is often mistaken for it, but when mature, which is during its second season, it attains a height of 5 to 6 feet and blooms from June to October. The roots of all varieties are large, fleshy, and much branched and gO’ down to considerabl© depth. In the Biennial Species, thesei, with the tops, die at» the close of the second year, if the plant ripens seed. Iff cut before seed is ripe or if pastured so that seed is not matured, the plant lasts over several seasons. It is quite widely distributed, but is found growing most luxuriantly in limestone soils. Hence we find it growing well in Horth- ern Kentucky on the limestone hills, the fertility of whicli has been exhausted through constant cropping with tobac- co. This indicates its value in the reclamation of worn- out fields and hillsides, which have washed badly. It is of great value in this respect and the demand for seed is in- creasing rapidly.

The Department of Agriculture and the various State Ex- periment Stations have taken up the growing of this plant and favorable reports are everywhere being made of the value of Sweet Clover as a soil improver. The seed can be sown broadcast on wheat in mid-Winter or seeded same as Red Clover in the Spring. It may also be seeded in late Summer in a similar way to Alfalfa, 20 to 30 pounds to the acre being required.

Apart from its great value as a nitrogen gatherer and producer of humus, Sweet Clover is being used most exten- sively here in Kentucky as a pasture, as once stock becomes used to it, it is eaten as readily as Red Clover and the stock appear to thrive on it equally as well. It is especial- ly good as an early pasture. For hay it is cut just as it is coming into bloom and is handled in a similar way to Alfalfa. It is also a very valuable plant for bees, being the principal honey plant in some sections.

The demand for seed last year was double what it has been any previous season, indicating a recognition of its great value as a soil improver and forage crop. It will grow on soils too poor to produce either Clover or Alfalfa and eventually brings them to a high state of fertility, in- oculating the soil and putting it in excellent condition to grow Alfalfa. We can furnish two varieties at the follow- ing prices:

Unhulled Mammoth White— Per lb., 20c; 25 lb., 18c per lb.; 100 lb. and over, 17c per lb.

Crimson or Scarlet Clover

A Single Plant of Crimson Clover (Courtesy of Department of Ag'riculture)

In this annual leguminous plant, we have one of the best forage plants and soil improvers introduced in years. Each succeeding year, there is a great- er demand for it, as people recognize its value. For hay, cut when in bloom and well cured, it is fully equal to Red Clover, producing from 2 to 3 tons and even more of very nutritious hay and as green forage or silage, it is also very valuable, furnishing an immense quantity of green feed. For grazing from Fall on to late Spring, it furnishes the finest kind of pasture, but its greatest merits lie in its value as a cover crop and for green manur- ing owing to its season of growth which permits of its being sown in mid-Summer or early Fall either in corn, tobacco or cotton after laying them by or on ground which has afr ready produced a vegetable or grain crop. It possesses great value as a green crop to be turned under for the planting of corn, second crop potatoes, etc., and as a cover cropi for orchards and small fruits. The expense of seeding per acre is small and taken all together no plant is of greater value to the farmer.

Crimson Clover can be sown 12 to 15 pounds per acre in June, July, August and September, August usually being best. It is better to have a firm seed bed, and if recently broken, harrow until ground becomes finely pulverized then board or roll, so as to get a hard, firm seed bed. It is preferable to wait for a rain on the prepared land, and then after it is dry enough, break the crust with a sharp spike-tooth harrow and then sow the seed. Loamy land plowed or cultivated a month or two previous can be harrowed over, and seed sown, then lightly harrowed and rolled. In other words, it is important that seed be covered lightly and firmly.

Japan Clover (Lespedeza Striata)

This is particularly suitable for waste lands, woodland pastures, grows fairly well on poor soils, and spreads rapidly, and when once established usurps wild growths, and will in many cases even subdue Broom Sedge. It is not, however, f a pest, and can be gotten rid of by plowing it up, and is excellent as a fertilizer. \

Japan Clover is particularly valuable for pasture on such soils as described, and where the soil is good yields a fair ; quantity of good hay. It is relished by cattle, is nutritious and fattening. To obtain a stand it is only necessary to scatter the seed broadcast in the Spring during March and April at the rate of about 10 pounds per acre. Harrowing the land over before the seed is sown, when it can be done, is of course better, though this is not imperative to obtain a good stand. Price, per lb., 20c; per bu. of 25 lbs., $3.50; 5 bu. lots at $3.25 per bu. Bags 22c each extra H

Giant Beggar Weed or Florida Clover (Desmodium Molle)

A crop of immense value for restoring fertility to worn- out or depleted soils. On sandy lands of the Southern States it is probably the most valuable forage plant which can be sown, besides being of immense benefit to the soil. Its growth is immense, sometimes attaining a height of seven feet; is densely covered with leaves; yields both hay and pasturage abundantly, and is of high nutritive value, many farmers estimating its feeding value equal to clover.

Sow any time after frost and as late as the middle of June; ! if in drills three feet apart three to four pounds per acre, i or broadcast ten to twelve pounds per acre, covering one to ] two inches. If cut when two feet high, either for hay or i green food, it will branch out from the roots, producing successive crops. Can be easily eradicated, and is in no | sense a pest. Per lb., 50c; 10 lbs. and over at 45c per lb. j

Ground Limestone Rock

This Ground Limestone Rock which we are offering is 99.4 per cent. Carbonate of Lime. This degree of fineness makes it highly soluble and quickly taken up and stim- ulated by any soils which need lime. This Limestone Rock insures the growth of Clover and other grasses, in fact, all plants with one or two exceptions. Timothy meadows slightly sown with approximatelv 1,000 to 1,500 pccunds of this Limestone can be renewed to a great extent. We high- ly recommend this for use with Alfalfa and other Clover crops. Ground Limestone Rock makes clay soils very mel-

low and renders the soil pliable and porus, proves a drain- , age, alleviates cracking and caking of the soil. It is also * of the greatest benefit in changing and causing organic ^ matter to decay rapidly and make the nitrogen it contains ? more available. One of the surest ways of determining the necessity for Ground Limestone is the inability to grow s Clover or Alfalfa satisfactorily. Booklets on its use will ll bo sent you upon request.

Nitrogen-

Gathering

Bacteria

J AZiFAIiFA, CItOVFRS, SOJA BFANS, COW FEAS, and all other pod-growing plants called legumes, enrich the soil through the action of small bacteria growing upon their roots. These bacteria live only upon the roots of legumes and by an action of their bodies extract the free nitrogen of the air, and deposit around themselves as nitrates, thus form- ing little sacks or nodules on the roots of the growing plants. These sacks furnish the growing plant with all the nitrates it requires, and still leaves large amounts unused in the soil ready for future crops or other crops growing at the same time with the legumes.

The method of transfer of soil for inoculation is both costly and dangerous; weed seed, soil and plant diseases are transferred in this way. All inoculations should be done by means of the pure cultures of nitrogen-gathering bacteria which are free from contamination and contain only active bacteria of the proper kind.

: Farmogerm is a pure culture or gro-wth of nitrogen-fixing bacteria that have been selected and bred up to transform 1- , large amounts of nitrogen from the air into soluble ni- r trates. These bacteria are grown in a jelly, or food, in j. 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 contaminations. If ’’ Alfalfa can be grown on hot, sandy land of South New s Jersey, why can’t you grow it?

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 w’here they can not otherwise be grown successfully.

4. Supply nitrates to other crops growing with the in- oculated legume crop.

5. Enrich the soil for future crops, thereby increasing the permanent value of the farm. Better crops — better soil — less fertilizer — less labor.

THE SIMPLEST SAFEST AND SUREST SYSTEM OF SOIL INOCULATION FOR ALL LEGUMES

For success with Clover, Alfalfa, Cow Peas, Soy Beans, Vetch, — in fact all legumes — you must have nitrogen. Fail- ure with these crops is nearly always due to lack of the necessary germ that helps the plant draw free nitrogen from the air. The air is four-fifths nitrogen — the most ex- pensive .element of all plant food. You can use this nitro- gen if you grow inoculated legumes. You can be sure of a good “catch,” a uniform stand, of richer feeding value.

Nitrogen gathered by the germ, or bacteria, is stored in knots, or modules, on legume roots. Part is used by the growing crop, part goes to the soil to benefit succeeding crops. Experiments prove that an Inoculated legume crop returns to the soil an average per acre of 122 pounds yearly. This is in addition to the nitrogen used by the crop itself.

The first to appreciate the wonderful possibilities of leg- ume bacteria were Doctors Nobbe and Hiltner, of the Royal Agricultural College, of Munich, Germany. For years they experimented and finally succeeded in breeding in their lab- oratory strong , healthy, vigorous nitrogen-gathering germs. Realizing that their wonderful discovery meant a world benefit only when, the practical farmer could make use of It, Nobbe and Hiltner evolved a way of packing the germs in a medium that insured successful delivery to the farmer — the germs absolutely gruaranteed to be as strong, healthy and vigorous as when they left the laboratory.

This process is called the Nobbe-Hiltner Process; the product is called “NITRAGIN,” the trade-mark name that distinguishes the original Nobbe-Hiltner Pure Culture from imitations all over the world.

Always^ look for these names. If they are on the can you are g'etting the original and the best. Don’t risk your money on imitations.

“NITRAGIN” Pure Culture is packed in a granular medi- um, in a ventilated tin can. Packing date is marked on each can. The Armour Fertilizer Works positively guar- antee the health, strength and virility of the germs for six months from date of packing.

“NITRAGIN” Pure Culture has been used in Germany for seventeen years. Last year it was used on more than a million acres. This year you should use it on yovir Clover, Alfalfa, Cow Peas, Soy Beans, Vetch, Field Beans, Garden Peas and Beans — in fact on all legumes.

Soil inoculation by “NITRAGIN” Pure Culture simply means seed safety and crop insurance. It is not expense, but an investment which will yield twenty-fold returns. No mystery about it. We simply sell you billions of strong healthy germs, guaranteed for six months. Your legume's must have these germs to draw nitrogen from the air. Easy to apply — a boy can do it. Just add water and mix with seed — let dry — plant as usual.

To mix “NITRAGIN” Pure Culture with seeds you require only water — no sugar, no glue, as in some other cultures. Sugar and glue with moistened seeds make a sticky mass that requires slow, tedious handling and often m.eans waste of seed by lumping. By using “NITRAGIN” Pure Culture you avoid all these risks and other objectionable features, and you get more germs for your money.

Remember, each legume requires its own particular kind of bacteria. A special strain of “NITRAGIN” Pure Culture is prepared for each legume. In ordering be sure to name crop desired.

You are perfectly safe in buying “NITRAGIN” Pure Culture. The quality and efficacy of this wonderful product is absolutely guaranteed by the great house of Armour. This guarantee is based on results of two years of experi- menting by the bacteriologists of the Armour Fertilizer Works. These men tested this product under every condi- tion, in field and laboratory, in Efurope and America. They demonstrated its superiority beyond a doubt.

Dwarf Essex Rape

Hairy Vetch

This can be sown broadcast in the Spring- and will give an immense amount of nutritious pasture during the sea- son. It can also be utilized to produce good Fall pasture on land which has already given a crop in season, such as grain, potatoes, etc. When used this way it can be sown from July until October and in six or eight weeks will furnish excellent pasture for cattle, hogs and sheep just at a time when it is most needed.

Stock thrives remarkably well on it, in fact, there is no pas- turage so nutritious as Dwarf Essex Rape, but as there are several varieties sold under this name, it is advisable to secure your seed from a reli- able source to insure your get- ting the true stock which does not seed the same season sown, unless it is planted very early.

Rape is a plant resembling a “Swede” Turnip or Ruta Baga In color and form of foliage, but it does not make a large root. It furnishes an immense amount of feed and can be grown on any soil, being par- ticularly adapted to the South.

The Alabama Experiment Sta- tion stating after careful trials — '“Quality of product good for both hogs and cattle. The growth was enormous. By re- peated sowings, it will and did carry more hogs through our hot, dry Summers than four times the amount of land planted in anything else ever grown here.

This is all carefully selected of high-bred true type Corn from the very largest yielding crops. It contains a high per cent, of protein, ears 8 tO' 11 inches long, 7% to 8 inches in circumference, 18 to 24 rows, and averaging in weight from 12 to 18 ounces. The cob is medium long, grain pure white, and fills out remarkably well both tips and butts. Boone County White Corn has been extensive- ly grown in many sections, and with general satisfaction. Some farmers claim that it is of light weight, but this is usually due to deteriorated stock. In sections where our experts have visited this year, we have selected Boone County out of the largest crops of Corn that has been highly bred, so that the yield can be depended upon as being thoroughly satisfactory. Corn matures about medi- um. We have sold this fine corn generally throughout Kentucky, Indiana, and other sections, and many cus- tomers have reported that our stock of Blue Ribbon Boone County has been the largest yielding Corn in their ■neighborhood. We unhesitatingly believe it to be the best stock that can be offered.

Early Northern White Field

This variety is immensely popular and justly so on ac- count of its heavy yield, both of grain and fodder. While the ears are short, they more than make up for this in the larg-e size of the grain. (Note photo at bottom of page showing- size of grain and half ear.) There are usually two and sometimes three ears on a stalk and the g-rain is of the very highest quality for milling- and feeding-.

Bait’s Prolific

This famous Prolific Corn has produced as high as 217 bushels per acre, in favorable season with extensive culti- vation and on good ground. This startling result has been published in every section of the United States and caused much wonder. For large crops we do not recommend this or any other prolific Corn, as we think Boone County, Johnson County, and similar sorts are best for the Central States,

Batt’s Prolific Com, however, is the finest of all Corns for ensilage, because it matures early, has from three to five ears to the stalk, and makes ;m enor- mous amount of fodder. The ears are of fair size, grain not very deep, but the fact that it produces such a large number of ears to the stalk makes it desirable especially for ensilage and early maturing White Corn.

Mammoth Red Cob White Dent

One of the best all-round white sorts for ricli land, producing largest crops of finest quality Corn. Tlie ears average about 10 inches in length, of uniform size and great depth of grain, rows 18 to 34 on red cobs, well filled. The grains are pure white, solid, very deep, producing the finest milling White (.''orn.

The yield of this superior Corn is very large, times as much as 90 bushels per acre. We utdiesi tatingly recommend it both for yield of grain or us ing for ensilage.

This is a particularly valuable variety for very early : planting or for very late. In fact, when too late for other sorts to mature, this will still make good yield of very fine, . w’ell-filled ears. The ears are of moderate size, grain medi- ■ um length, usually produces two good ears to the stalk, and a remarkably good producing sort considering its earli- f ness in maturing.

Yellow Varieties

Hand Corn Planters

We have used the same care in the selection of our Yellow Corns as in the White, and our stocks of Johnson County Yellow Dent, Gate Post, and Gold Standard Learning' are particu- larly fine qualities. Reid’s Yellow Dent has made somewhat smaller ears this year than usual, but is very good stock, highly bred.

Don’t forget we will be pleased to send sam- ples of all our Seed Corns on request, and where ordered from us, all varieties will be guaranteed as stated before, and money re- funde.d if not satisfactory.

Gold Standard Learning

An ideal feeders’ Corn, of light golden color, ears slightly tapering and cylindrical. The ears range from 8 tO' 11 inches long, 7 to S inches in circumference, and are well filled, butts and tips. The ears have from 16 to 24 rows, little or no space between them, cob is red, medium size, and the percentage of Corn as compared to the cob varies from 86 to 90 per cent. The per cent, of protein which these grains contain is more than any other corn which we know, and four bushels of Gold Standard Learning will put as much fat on a hog or steer as five bushels of ordinary Corn. The fact that the ears are moderate size, ma- ture early, and splendid yielding has made this one of the most popular of all yellow sorts. Price — Qt., 15c; postpaid, 25c; pk., 50c; bu., $1.75; 5 bushels and over, $1.50 per bushel. Ba.s 12C extra.

Johnson County Yellow Dent

A very fine Yellow Corn, of rich, deep yellow color, requiring 110 days to mature. It has won many premiums with strongest competition, and is extremely popular in Central and Northern Indiana. The grains are deep, narrow, slightly dented, small cob, and an extremely fine early variety for feeding, and produces a larger crop on moderately rich soil with white varieties. We especially recommend this, and our stock is particularly fine quality. Qt., 15c; postpaid, 25c; pk., 50c; bu., $1.75; 5 bu. and over, $1.50 per bushel; bags 12c extra.

Reid’s Yellow Dent

A medium early yellow variety producing well-filled ears of good length and filling ^ut remarkably well even under adverse conditions. Stalks of good height, produc- ing one or two good ears which average' 10 to 11 inches long, 14 tO' 16 rows. Grains flinty, deep, slightly dented, rich color, and fine feeding quality. This is one of the most popular early varieties! of Yellow Corn and particularly well liked by stock- raisers. In Illinois it is probably the most popular of all, and many of our largest breeders in Kentucky plant it extensively. Our stock of this has been awarded first premiums at Corn shows. State and County fairs, and we believe is unsurpassed quality. Qt., 15c; postpaid, 25c; pk., 50c; bu., $1.75; 5 bu. at $1.50 per bu.

Gate Post Corn

This is one of the finest varieties of Yellow Corn we have ever seen for general purposes. While the ears do not grow quite as long as Gold Standard Learning, the depth of grain is marvelous, and we believe for shelling contest it will yield more grain than any Yellow in existence.

The stalks are medium height, bearing one and two nice growth ears 9 to 11 inches long. Color rich golden yellow, shading lighter at the tip; grains very solid, exceedingly long, and 16 to 18 rows on the cob.

Winter Turf Oats — A Remarkable Yielder

Seed Oats

CParmers are becoming- more and more particular regarding their field seeds. We notice this in the increased demand ^or our fancy re-cleaned stocks. The first cost of seed is nothing compared with the increase in crop yield to say nothing of the advantages of sowing high-grade stocks free from weed seeds and of uniform germination. splendid equipment, specially built for the purpose, enables us to send out all grain and grass seeds of highest qual-l ity, re-cleaned and uniform. W)e are better equipped than ever before to handle all orders.

Winter Turf

If sown early they are far superior to Spring Oats. In fe-ood land they grow 4 or 5 feet high, producing a splendid yield of oats weighing sometimes from 40 to 42 pounds per measured bushel. The quality of the grain is far superior to all Spring varieties. It is very much larger than that ©f ordinary oats and the husk is very thin, making it of liigh feeding value. The straw is also of high quality. We should like intending purchasers to see samples of this grain which will convince them of its great value, also en- able them to see the superiority of our stock which is thor- oughly re-cleaned to remove cheat, which is always present in ordinary stocks. Sow IV2 to 2 bushels per acre. Prices: Blue Ribbon re-cleaned stock, per bu., 85c; 10 bus. and over 83c per bu. ; bags included. Special prices in large lots.

Black Mixed Spring

Usually preferred for thin land, growing taller and pro- ducing heavier yield of oats. They make more forage than White Spring Oats, therefore are better to cut when green. W. S. & Co.’s Best, re-cleaned choice stock, per bu., 70c; 10 bu. and over, 68c per bu.; sacks included. Ask for prices in quantity.

White Sensation ^

A new variety producing the largest, plumpest, and ; heaviest oats, with a plump kernel and thin hull. It has ; branching head, straw coarse, very strong and stands up; better than any other sort we have ever seen. Wonderfully productive, producing in good season as much as 90 to 100 bushels per acre; in fact in some exceptional years has made as much as 123 bushels. Our stock is from a most careful grower in Northern Ohio, and has been thoroughly re-cleaned in our own improved cleaning mills. Pince: Bu., 75c; 5 bu. and over, 73c per bu. ; sacks included.

Cow Peas

lake Poor Lajid Klcli. Make Good land More Productive. Also Make a Splendid and Nutritious Green Porag-e or Hay Crop,

It used to be said, “Red Clover for the North, Alfalfa for the West,

?ow Peas for the South.” In the past few years the Cow Pea has iroven its value away beyond the South. It is now being grown as .ar North as Minnesota, invading the Red Clover and Alfalfa sections rf the country and proving of greater value under certain conditions iwing to its quickly making a crop for forage or for green manuring, t is an extremely variable plant which accounts for its adapting itself 0 Northern and Western conditions when originally considered of ^alue only in the South, some varieties maturing seed in sixty days,

)thers growing until killed by frost. Some are of bushy growth, while others are trailers or climbers. The seed varies to a remarkable ■ iegree in size, shape and color. This accounts for so many new vari- jties being introduced in different localities, whereas there are com- oaratively few distinct varieties. The plant being modified by cultiva- tion, soil, time of sowing and locality in which it is grown. We list ‘Whip-poor-Will,” “Black,” “Clay,” “New Bra,” and “Black-Eye.”

These are the varieties most generally planted and adapted to a wide range of country.

1 Cow Peas will make a good growth under very unfavorable condi- tions and on poor soil, however, as their merit as a soil improver lies in their ability to gather nitrogen it stands to reason that the greatest benefit will be derived where the soil is put in ^ood condition and fertile. Applications of lime to the soil are very beneficial also. The seed may be sown any time in the Spring when it has become warm enough to plant Beans and from that on to within about two months of frost time. It is well to remember the plant develops best in warm weather. Seed may be sown broadcast or with a wheat drill, using 1 to 1^4 bushels per acre.

The crop should be used for hay when the earliest pods are beginning to ripen. The hay cures slowly and is subject to heating like clover.

The crop of seed is very good this year and the demand is already heavy, so that we advise early orders as prices will advance considerably by the planting season. If you wish to buy now, send half the money necessary to cover stock

The Whip-poor-Will

Black Cow Peas

Is a bush variety, early and very generally planted both X South and in the Middle West.

New Era Peas

Are two to three weeks earlier than Whip-poor-Will, and make a heavier growth of vine. They are very popular in the North and West on account of their earliness'. The seed is small, but a large amount of it is produced on the vines. Fancy re-cleaned seed; about $2.50 per bu.; in lots of 10 bu. or more, $2.40 per bu. Sacked.

A medium early variety, very popular in some sections; inclined to vine and produces a large amount of hay. Fancy re-cleaned seed; $2.25 per bu. ; 10 bu. at $2.15 per bu. Sacked.

Black Eye Peas

Make a profitable crop for picking the dry Peas for sale in Winter, but are of same value as a soil improver, as the other varieties, and are quite largely planted in the South. Fancy re-cleaned seed; $4.00 per bu. Sacked.

Canada Field Peas

These Field Peas are entirely different from the Cow Pea, requiring to be sown early in the Spring, making their crop ready for cutting in May or June. They are increasing in popularity every year, making a most satisfactory and large-yielding early forage crop. They can be sown in open weather during February and March, and make large yields of most nutritious food, which can be used either green or cured for hay. They can be sown alone at the rate of IV2 to 2 bushels to the acre, but a light seeding of oats will increase the yield and help to support the pea vines when the crop comes to maturity. Price fluctuates. Price — Pk., 65c; bu., $2.50; 10 bu. lots at $2.40 per bushel. Special price quoted on large lotsw Cotton bags holding 214 bushels each, 22c extra.

The Soja or Soy Bean

A Great Droug-ht-Resistingf Forage Crop, Producing Immenee Quantitieg o Ija Nutritious Feed, besides being an Excellent Soil Improver

The Cow Pea and Soy Bean, are nearly related and have many points i ,, common, but there are certain characteristics which make the Soy Bea distinct. Very few varieties make a vine, but are of upright growth I > although if grown, on rich soil there is a tendency to lodge. The Soy Bea « produces a much larger crop of seed, than the Cow Pea and this crop i: i

easier to harvest. It can also be sown rather earlier Jthan the Cow Pea, an(f|'

if sown, at the same time, matures its seed earlier. This comparison is nc made with any idea of detracting at all from the merits of the Cow Peai^ but the plants being similar in some respects, as stated above, we wish tit point out some of the marked diffierences in the two plants. I

Soy Beans are of gfeat value for feeding. In Henry’s “Feeds and Feedfi ing” we find the following per cent, of protein in, various kinds of mealf- Soy Bean Meal 33.5, Cotton Seed Meal 45.3, Old Process Oil Meal 33.9, an | Cow Pea Meal 20.8. The per cent, of fat in Soy Bean Meal being 17. 2l, almost twice as much as in any of the other articles mentioned. 1

The plant is generally upright, branched, and grows from to 4 fee

tall according to variety and weather conditions. The plants are covere ' with fine hairs, whereas the Cow Pea is smooth and glossy. The pods ar.ii small and usually contain only two Beans. The seed is as variable as thal, of the Cow Pea as to size, color and shape, but the SOy Bean ripens pracl

tically all its seed at one time. With so variable a plant it is but nature! that many varieties are offered. The “Medium” is one of the best midt*

The

season varieties/, while the “Mammoth Yellow” is the best late Bean.

Soy Be5,ns

Amount of Seed Necessary — If sowed in rows 2V2 feet apart it require % bushel of seed per acre, and if drilled in or broadcast 1V2 bushels pe acre. Seed can be sown in May, June or July, but does best if sown rathe early and the seed should be covered lightly, not over a couple of inches The feeding value of Soy Bean Hay is fully equal to that of Clover or Alfalfa, but stock have to get accustomed to ii Inasmuch as the Soy Bean is a legume, its value as a nitrogen gatherer and consequently a soil improver is unquesL tioned, and considering its merits in this connection, together with its production of seed of high feeding value, a , average crop being about 25 bushels per acre, varying, of course, according to time of planting, etc., it is undoubtedly a very valuable crop for the farmer.

Medium Soy

This is probably the best variety for this section of the country, although it does not produce as much forage as the Mammoth Yellow. It makes an exceptionally uniform growth; has good foliage which it holds up well to the time the seed is maturing, and it yields a splendid crop of seed. Qt., 15c; pk., 70c; bu., about $2.25; 10 bu. lots, $2.15 per bu.; sacks included.

Mammoth Yellow

The Mammoth Yellow produces twice the amount of for age that other varieties will, but it is much later, hence more Northerly latitudes may not ripen all its seed, though in the season just past it made a fine growth yielded well in this vicinity. Farther South it could bL depended upon to produce immense crops of both forag| and seed. Qt., 15c; pk, 60c; bu., about $2.00; 10 bu. lotsf $1.90 per bu.; sacks included. |

Velvet Beans

A Famous New Forage and Soil-Improving Plant. Velvet Beans are pronounced by experienced agriculturists of greates value; the vines and Beans make the most nutritious feed, and as they make a, most rapid growth, are destined to be come universally popular. The vines and roots are rich in nitrogen, making a most valuable soil-improving crop, anr they produce enormous crops for forage or soil improving. They do not mature seeds, except in extreme Southern lati tudes. Plant in May or June at the rate of 1% pecks to acre, in drills five feet apart.

Giant Beggar Weed or Florida Clover

Desmodium Alolle

A crop of immense value for restoring fertility to worn-out or depleted soils. On sandy lands of the Southern States it is probably the most valuable forage plant which can be sown, besides being of immense benefit to the soil. Its growth is immense, sometimes attaining a height of seven feet; is densely cov- ered with leaves; yields both hay and pasturage abundantly, and is of high nutritive value, many farmers estimating its feeding value equal to clover. Sow any time after frost and as late as the middle of June; if in drills three feet apart three to four pounds per acre, or broadcast ten to twelve pounds per acre, covering one to two inches. If cut when two feet high, either for hay or green food, it will branch out from the roots, producing successive crops. Can be easily eradicated, and is in no sense a pest.

Mammoth Russian Sunflower

Usually a very profitable field crop, the seeds of which are used for bird and poultry foods, and required in enormous quantities. Sunfiowers are planted and cultivated about the same as corn. Besides being very ornamental, Sunfiowers are useful for planting around edges of gardens and other spots, and will yield a profitable crop of grain for the Winter feeding of poultry.

Sorghum

Honey Dew

i One of the best Sorghums ever used for making sorghum molasses. Makes a clear fine syrup of rich amber color,

L which contains very much more saccharine matter than I syrups from other cane. Foliage is abundant, strong grow- ing, large size stalks, and good yielder. We strongly rec- ommend this sort for forage, but more especially for the best syrup-producing Sorghum that can be planted. Pound 15c; postpaid, 25c; pk., 50c; bu., $1.25; 5 bus. and over at $1.20 per bu. ; sacks included.

Red Top Sorghum

This is one of the best va.rieties of Sorghum, whether for syrup or feeding green or cured for stock. It grows luxur- iantly, is as tall as Early Amber, a heavy cropper, and the I seed produced in a closed head, making it easily gathered.

It is largely planted in this section, and is a favorite sort ; among Kentucky farmers. Pound, 15c; postpaid, 25c; pk., 50c; bu. (50 lbs.) about $1.25; 5 bus. and over at $1.20 per bu.; sacks included.

or Cane

Early Amber Sorghum

Furnishes a large yield of most nutritious forage, which can be fed either green or cured, and will yield two or three cuttings a year, stooling out thicker each time it is cut. The saccharine matter is of the finest quality, and it also produces a fine sugar or syrup. It grows ten to- twelve feet high. This is the favorite sort in Northern and many Western States. Sow at the rate of one peck per acre in drills 3Y2 to 4 feet apart. Pound, 15c; post- paid, 25c; pk., 50c; bu., about $1.15; 5 bus. and over at $1.10 per bu. ; sacks included.

Early Orange Sorghum

This variety is a favorite wherever grown. It is similar in growth to Early Amber, but is preferred in Tennessee and Southern States, as it produces a heavier crop. Pound, 15c; pk., 50c; bu., $1.15; 5 bus. and over at $1.10 per bu.; sacks included.

German Millet

Choice Southern Grown — True Southern Ger- : ran Millet sown in May, June, or July pro- i( uces a fine crop of the best hay in six to eight TP]' weeks’ time, and on good land yields two to t ■ wo and a half tons per acre. It is of special Jftji nportance-, however, to secure the very best ^ outhern-grown' True German Millet. If co-m- ■ ion seed is used, or if German Millet is : lixed with common Millet, the yield is greatly : essened and renders the hay of less value,

, lecause common Millet grows very much ■ mailer, has very little leaf growth, goes to ' ji eed quicker, thus interspersing with the hay i- ; 700dy fibre and more or less seed, both of which are extremely objectionable, besides rreatly curtailing the crop. True German , Jillet produces a large and luxuriant growth ; f foliage, has very large heads which ripen t • svenly, and if cut when in bloom is extremely '„‘.)alatable. Sow broadcast, one bushel per acre, jj'rwo crops can be seeded and grown during the ?ummer on the same land. Price (January 1), Wij Soutliem Grown German Millet — Pk., 40c; I ju., $1.25; 5 bu- lots at $1.20 per bu. Bags j::J2c extra.

H'l True Tennessee Grown Cultivated German Millet

h This large-headed variety is greatly preferred t>y those desiring to grow Millet for seed pur- poses. Very much superior to other varieties both in yield for seed or hay. Pk., 50c; bu., $1.50; 5 bus. at $1.45 per bu. Bags 22c extra.

i i'Pearl or Cat Tail Millet (Pencillaria)

a;j

! Makes a Splendid Continuous Cutting Forage j Crop, either for Green Food or Hay. Is used ; for both green and dry feeding, and as it yields so largely, it is very highly prized. The I- cutting should commence when a height of IVz to 3 feet is attained. After being cut it ^ will stool out enormously, becoming much if thicker; makes a rapid growth, and will af- i ford three or four large cuttings during the season. It should not be sown until about , May. If sown broadcast 20 to 30 pounds I . should be used, but quicker and more frequent - cuttings will be obtained if sown 5 pounds : per acre in drills 3 feet apart and cultivated occasionally. Price per lb., 15c; 10 lbs. and over, 10c per lb.; 50 lbs., 8c per lb.; 100 lbs., $7.00. Bags 22c extra.

German Millet

Hungarian Millet (Panicum Germanicum)

Fbr good low grounds on rich soil, this r^' es even more valuable crop than German Millet. It is considered ei i in nutritious qualities to Timothy Hay. It is very important, in procuring Hungarian Millet, to get true seed, as common Millet resembles it very closely and is :"’*e- quently found mixed with Hungarian. This lessens both the yield id the value of the crop. Sow from the first of May to the end of JuT at the rate of one bushel per acre. Price about 40c a pk. ; $1.25 per ou.; 5 bus. at $1.20 per bu.

Buckwheat

A valuable crop for soil improving-, production of grain, and largely used for sowing for bees. The yield of grain is 15 to 25 bushels per acre, and can be used for grinding for Buckwheat flour, or the whole grain is splendid for poultry and hog feed, being very fat- tening. It is best not to sow before June, though July and August • are better months in this latitude.

Japanese

One of the best sorts, with large grain, and produces much larger yields than the common buckwheat, Pk., 50c; bu., about $1.25; 5 bus. and over at $1.20 per bu. Bags 22c extra.

Silver Hull

An improved sort. _ Grain about the size of the common Buckwheat, but much better fllled and larger yielding. Pk., 50c; bu., about $1.25;

5 bus. and over at $1.20 per bu. Bags 22c extra. '

Kaffir Corn

The grain makes most nutritious feed, and can be us-ed for both stock and poultry. Kaffir Corn is a vigorous grower, can be cut twice during^ the season if desired for fodder, and will be found most nutritious and very fattening. When used by itself, use from three- ' quarters to one bushel per acre broadcast. It can be sown in con- nection with Cow Peas, broadcast, at the rate of a peck of Kaffir Corn to a bushel of Cow Peas to the acre, and if these are used to- gether, the' Kaffir Corn helps to hold the Cow Peas off the ground and causes a larger growth. Both can be cut together; they are easily cured and make an enormous yield of the finest quality feed. For a grain crop sow in rows three feet apart, 5 pounds per acre. Current prices on request. Bags 10c each extra.

White Kaffir Com— Lb., 10c; pk., 40c; bu. (50 lbs.) about $1.25.

Broom Corn

Broom Corn is a very profitable crop, and can be grown in Kentucky remarkably well. The price ranges from $80.00 to $100.00 per ton. It is comparatively easily cultivated, will grow on any land that is suitable for corn, and there is unlimited demand for any amount. Usually produces at the rate of a ton to three or four acres of land. The seed is useful for feeding stock, being nutritious and fattening.

Culture — Sow the seed in drills three feet apart at the rate of from three to five pounds per acre, thinning to about three inches apart, so as to leave seventy stalks to the rod. Cultivate same as for corn. If the land is rich the seed should be sown thicker and the stalks left closer together than on the medium or poor land. To make the best selling corn it should be cut when seed is in the milk state, as if allowed to ripen it changes from its bright green color and takes on a reddish tinge which does not bring as good prices. It can be used, however, even when overripe, but will pay much better prices if cut at the proper time. When marketed, the stalk and brush should not exceed over sixteen inches in length, and there is no necessity of leaving long stalks as this will only depreciate the. price. For shipment it can be baled or bundled; baling, however, is better.

Oklahoma Dwarf

The principal variety used in Oklahoma on account of its earliness, dwarf habit, robust growth, extreme productive- ness, long well-fibered brush, and above all, its ability to resist drought. It averages about five feet high, which makes it convenient to pull the brush. It is a great yielder, in some instances making one ton of fine long brush to three acres. Seed can be allowed to ripen without damage to the brush, which does away with much of the danger of heating when seed is stripped too green. The stalks make excellent fodder and are relished by stock. Our seed is Oklahoma grown, good quality. Price, per lb., 15c; post- paid, 25c; 5 lbs., 50c; bu. (45 lbs.), $2.25; sacks included.

Blue Ribbon Lawn and Garden Fertilizer

Owing to the many calls for a strictly high-grade Ferti- lizer suitable for lawns and gardens, we have prepared an exceptionally fine article easy to- apply and just the thing for general use, either on ground being prepared for a lawn or as a top dressing for lawns already established, five pounds being sufficient for a space 12x20 feet for the latter purpose, or 12x15 feet on new ground. Just work it well into the surface with a rake. It can be applied to advan- tage several times during the season, just before a rain or just before using the hose, and will promote an even, lux- uriant growth of grass. It can be used in a similar way as a garden Fertilizer before sowing and to stimulate growth. Pricers lbs., 25c; 10 lbs., 50c; 25 lbs., $1.00; 50 lbs., $1.75; 100 lbs., $3.00.

Acid Phosphate or Dissolved S. C. Rock

Phosphoric acid is necessary to produce plump, heavy grains, to develop fine fruit of high flavor and to produce large highly colored flowers. In acid phosphate, we have a form readily available. Its action is quicker than either ground bone or ground phosphate rock, the other principal sources of phosphoric acid and it is the form used in com- mercial Fertilizers. Can be applied at the rate of 300 to 400 lb, per acre. 14% available; bag (125 lb.), $1.50; ton, $16.00; 16% available; bag (125 lb.), $1.65; ton, $18.00.

Nitrate of Soda

(Chilian Salt Petr© or Nitrate)

Analysis 15.65% Nitrogen

This comes in the form of crystals, resembling common salt. It dissolves very quickly and leaches out of the soil rapidly, so that it is of no permanent value as a Fertilizer, but is used largely toi produce a quick growth, especially in garden crops, bringing them on very rapidly. Used largely tO' stimulate the growth of grass in the Spring. It can be used as a top dressing for vegetables at the rate of 100 lb. per acre after they are well started. When used in a small way, on© ounce to 8 quarts of water is sufficient. It is a necessary element in the soil and in mixed Fertilizers, is usually supplied in the form of ammonia. It shows results quicker than any other Fertiiizer, as it is immediateiy available and is taken up by the crop at once. Booklet on the use of Nitrate free on request. Price 5c per lb.; 25 lb., $1.00; 200 lb., $6.50; per ton, $62.00, F. O. B. Louisville. Prices subject to change. Special prices quoted on large quantities.

Ground Phosphate Rock

This supplies Phosphoric Acid cheaper than from any other source. Unless it is finely ground, it is- insoluble and not desirable to

use. Due to the extreme fineness of our Phosphate Rock, 7 per cent, of it is almost immediately available, and the balance will

become available by the action of the acids in the soil. We recommend Phosphate Rock to be applied at the rate of from 500 pounds to one ton per acre, the larger quantity being preferable. Grain and grass crops show remarkable increases when it is used, and besides being beneficial to the crop, it corrects acidity in the soil, which is due to continued action of decaying vegetable matter and the constant use of acid Fertilizers. Phosphate Rock is going to be used in enormous quantities in years to come, and the sooner farmers begin using

it the better the condition their soils will be in, and the larger will be the returns.

plants should be well watered right after planting. It during the growing season and water the plants if there is little rain. After the ground has become frozen or when all growth has ceased, cover with well-decayed manure. Where there is little or no frost a mulch is beneficial, but care must be taken not to smother the plcints. Many times varieties are offered which are a disappointment. In the following list will be found the best of hardy plants. Beauty of flower and vigor of plant being considered along with adaptability for general planting.

Generally speaking. Perennials can be set 15 inches apart, although many after becoming established should have more room.

ifi^aking our gardens, we use three classes of plants — ^Annual; t ,ls and Biennials. Annuals being such plants as Asters i Zinnias and Petunicis of which we sow the seed eacl ;|f( year. They flower and mature in one season, dying a, ;; its close. Perennials and Biennials, such as produc Co' seed, with few exceptions, do not flower until the secon | season from sowing the seed, but some of them do no produce seed freely, being increased by division o ' the root or by cuttings. Common examples of th ; jjk \ seed bearing plants being Columbine, Hollyhock: . ; [i Foxgloves, etc. Of the plants increased by rocj si division we have Peonies, Iris, Day Lilies, etc. Un der favorable conditions most Perennials will endur for several years, but Biennials only last until sue P time as they have ripened seed, in other words ’ * plants from seed sown this year will flower nex year and if allowed to ripen seed will die, but i , seed is not allowed to form, many of these plant will start new crowns at the base of the plant an« | if reset will live over for another year or so. Fox gloves and Canterbury Bells illustrate the type.

The hardy garden possesses great possibilities We can, with a proper selection of plants, hav( flowers from frost to frost, plants which beautif our grounds and also furnish a wealth of bloom for hous< ; decoration. Some will grow in the hottest and dryes I places, others will thrive wonderfully in cool, shad]j places. As we expect them to remain in the same place for som< | time, the ground should be deeply dug smd well enriched befov<l planting, the plants should be set firmly, the crown or base of the plant beint level with the surface of the soil. It is better to err in planting too deep rather than in shallow planting for you will lose many plants through dryin; out in Summer and freezing out ir is well to keep the ground cultivated

We can supply either type in strong plants. Fall is the best time to plant although if handled carefully and set early in the season, they will grow well when planted in the Spring.

Phlox Suhulata

Phlox Suhulata

ei | Not a new variety by any means, but one which is rarely seen. We know of nothing which will make a greater display or look i i prettier in the early Spring. Used, as illustrated, along walks, in the foreground of Perennial planting or planted at random — “Naturalized’^ j 'in half shady places it will become established and give a good account of itself. It grows about six inches high and produces perfect n masses of bloom, a deep pink and pure white. Very hardy. Our stock is very fine, — big clumps which flowered beautifully last Spring, sif ’iPrice 20c each, $2.00 per dozen, postpaid ; 15c each, $1.50 per dozen, $10.00 per 100 forwarded at purchaser’s expense, in either color.

Phlox Amoena

Another little beauty, a more upright grower than Suhulata, flow- ering rather later than this variety, of a deep rose-pink color and wonderfully free flowering. Can be used to advantage as a border plant as it grows quite compact and does not spread as rapidly as Suhulata. About six inches high. Foliage keeps fresh throughout the season. 15c each; $1.50 per dozen, postpaid.

Phlox Paniculata

The hardy perennial Phlox is probably the most popular of all perennials. There is no other plant which furnishes such masses of bloom nor as varied colors as the Phlox. It grows finely in full sunlight and will also do well in partial shade. Any good soil is suitable, but of course the richer the better, and to have good Phlox, you must water it freely. It is surprising the amount of water the plants will absorb. When they have been in one place for several years they send up many small flower stalks and should be taken up in early Fall or Spring, divided and reset. The flowers will be much larger if handled this way. Give a good mulch of stable manure late in the Fall.

There are a vast number of varieties offered, but we have .selected what we consider the finest of all. They are extra largfe plants, all fiowering' in our nursery at the present time. Price 20c each, $2.00 per dozen, postpaid; 15c each, $1.50 per dozen, $10.00 per 100 at buyers’ expense.

Hardy Flowering Shrubs

Nowadays, having secured our plans for building from the architect, we immediately turn [ Lir attention to beautifying the grounds about the house. This is not the exception, but the

1 lie — and rightly so for we are planning a home and it cannot be a home in the truest sense

if the word without- trees, shrubs and flowers, and what a weeilth of plants there is to draw j om. Shrubs and flowering plants for sun or shade, those which thrive in dry or moist I laces. We can get something which will do well under whatever conditions we have and the j allowing list, while not considered complete by any means, gives the best in flowering shrubs.

' ’<Je want all to be successful in growing them and if they will observe the following simple ules they will have little trouble.

When shrubs are received, if you cannot plamt immediately, remove from the package and eel in, that is, dig a deep trench and place the plants in it, covering thoroughly with soil and catering if the ground is dry. When planting shrubs, the ground should be deeply dug and ■ :nriched with well-decayed manure. It is not advisable to use fresh manure. If nothing else s available, plant the shrubs and mulch with this, taking care not to put it too close to the terns. In a month or so this can be worked into the soil. Shrub and trees should all be set i little deeper than they were in the nursery. One can usually see the ground line on the item, the bark being lighter, and set a little deeper than this. Dig the holes deep enough and : vide enough and have loose soil in the bottom for the roots to rest in. Don’t cramp the roots.

Set the plant in the hole and fill in about half the loose soil. Take the plant by the stem

and chuck it up and down to get the soil well in about the roots. Put in the balance of the 5oil and pack it firmly about the stem., using the foot to press it close. Water thoroughly if the ground is at all dry. Practically all shrubs should be cut back hard, leaving only about one-third of the wood. Trees should be shortened back quite close to the main branches. This is very important. All stock transplanted has received a serious check at the roots and the latter are not in shape to nourish the full top. Therefore, don’t fail to cut back as directed.

We send out strong plants in three sizes: Small size, 15c each; $1.50 per dozen; 2 to 3 except where otherwise specified, at purchaser’s expense.

They invariably flower the following season after planting, even small bushes of two to three feet showing bloom, and size are concerned there is no compari- varieties are grand.

These are graceful shrubs, strong growers, with fine feathery foliage, will stand any amount of pruning; flowers pink.

Tamariz Africana — fine variety, having rich green foli- age and long sprays of pink flowers in June.

Tamarix Odessana — A variety flowering in late Summer. Has beautiful grayish green foliage which alone is orna- mental.

All types are very hardy and show considerable variatior , in flowers and foliage. We list only the most desirabhj varieties. i

Arsenate of Lead

One of the best and most effective poisonous insecti- cides for leaf-eating insects, and more especially adapted to trees and shrubs, as it adheres to the foliage better, is not so liable to be washed off by rains, and does not burn. We can supply Arsenate of L<ead either in paste form to be diluted with water, 3 lbs. to 50 gallons, or in dry form for dusting or dissolving. The dry form is about twice as strong as the paste and sells at higher price. For ten- der plants use a weaker solution than mentioned above.

Prices Paste Porm Arsenate of Iiead — Per lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 15c per lb., 25 lbs., 13c per lb; 100 lbs, and over, 10c per lb.

Dry Arsenate of Dead — Per lb., 30c; 5 lbs., 25c per lb.; 25 lbs., 22c per lb.; 100 lbs., 19c per lb.

Shrubs for Hedges

There are many varieties of shrubs and vines which can be used to advantage for hedges and what is more attractive than a well-kept Hedge? It is much more lasting and certainly much more satisfactory than a fence, especially in the city, and one can find such a variety of shrubs which are suitable that it is possible to secure any effect desired. Care should be taken in setting a Hedge to have the trench deep enough and wide enough to accommodate the roots and plants should be set in double rows, “hit and miss,” in order

to secure a thick growth from the ground up. They should be set fi insure branches right from the ground. When using such plants as of a spade and a double row set, placing the plants a foot apart i into consideration their manner of growth, etc.

California Privet

This is probably the most popular of all Hedge plants. Tt is inexepensive, grows rapidly and soon gives a good ac- count of itself, then being almost an evergreen it looks well for the greater part of the year. We can furnish sev- eral sizes but recommend the largest (3 to 4 feet) as this will make a Hedge in the shortest time and a thick growth from the ground up. Price, 3 to 4 feet, $6.00 per 100;

2 to 3 feet, $4.50 per 100; 18 to 24 inches, ^.00 per 100.

Lilac

The old-fashioned Lilac makes a very satisfactory Hedge although it takes some time to attain any size. It will stand any amount of pruning and looks well throughout the season. Price, strong plants, $5.00 per 100.

rmly and cut back within six inches of the ground after planting to California Privet, Lilacs, or Altheas, the trench should be the width n the row. Other varieties can be planted in a similar manner, taking

Berberis Thunbergii

The Berberis or Japanese Barberry grows very bushy, is thorny and forms a broad top. It will stand pruning and can be kept in any form desired. It is very satisfactory as a low growing hedge and suitable to plant in a single row, to mark a boundary line, etc. It always looks well and will grow in partial shade. Price, fine bushy stock, 18 inches tall, $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100.

Althea

Bose of Sharon — ^An upright grower, fine for Hedges and will stand any amount of pruning. It flowers on the new growth, so that when cut back in the Spring it will look very pretty later on with its masses of showy flowers.

Price, 2 to 3 feet, fine plants, $8.00 per 100.

Berberis Thunbergii — Japanese Barberry

Aralia Pentaphylla

A Japanese shrub, upright in growth and branching freely right from the ground. The foliage is five pointed like the Wloodbine or Virginia Creeper, but smaller. The branches are spiney and will turn anything. 2 to 3 ft., $15.00 per 100.

Tartarian Honeysuckle

Makes a very pretty Hedge and flowering on the new growth one gets considerable bloom after pruning. It grows rapidly and soon makes a good showing. Price 2 to 3 feet, $12.00 per 100.

HalFs Honeysuckle

This is a vine and would of course require a support but makes a beautiful Hedge when once established. It does not, of course, have to be planted as close as regular Hedge plants. Price, large plants, $15.00 per 100.

Roses

There is nothing prettier than a Rose Hedge, and the Climber, Doi’- othy Perkins, seems especially adapted to this purpose being a very rank grower and quickly cov- ering any support furnished _ it- When in bloom it is a beautiful sight.

Hardy Vines and Climbers

Prices of all Climlbers 25c and 40c each, except where noted

ilristolochia

English Ivy

There is no more popular plant than this I and it is beautiful at all times being’ ever- green and hardy everywhere. For pianting j about the base of a house, along walks or ' in shady places where other plants will not grow it is valuable and is very largely used tO' cover graves as it can be kept in good > condition readily and looks well at all ' times. Price, 15c and 25c each; $1.50 and ■ $2.50 per doz., according* to size. Ask for price in quantity.

Euonymous Radicans

An evergreen, trailing plant, valuable on account of its dense foliage. Useful for i; covering walls or can be used as an edging : or border and clipped in similar manner to i

box-wood. 15c each; $1.50 per doz.

LoniCera (Honeysuckle)

Hardy everywhere and very much prized on account of their fine dense foliage and delightfully fragrant fiowers. They make a heavy root growth and are planted exten- sively to hold banks from washing out.

Halliaua — This is the most popular of all, fiowering all Summer, the fiowers being ■ very fragrant and a light buff yellow color.

It is the strongest grower and is valuable for making Hedges, for planting about verandas as a screen or for sloping banks inclined tO' wash.

Scarlet Trumpet — ^This has long scarlet trumpet-shaped fiowers. The vines are not as vigorous as those of Halliana.

Belgica — The fragrant Dutch Honeysuckle — blooms all summer, the flowers being scarlet outside and yellow inside.

Ampelopsis

Very hardy vines climbing to a height of 20 to 30 feet and being used very largely throughout the country for many pur- poses, A. Veitchii or Boston Ivy being very miuch in demand for covering walls and fences as it clings closely to brick or stone.

A. Quinquefolia (Virginia Creeper or Woodbine) — This is the common five-leaved ivy found in all parts of the country. It is a very vigorous plant, thriving everywhere and is very suit- able for covering fences, old trees, etc. The foliage changes to brilliant colors in the Fall. Price, 15c each.; $1.50 per doz.; large size, 25c each; $2.50 per doz.

A. zrnglemanni — Quite similar to the above but the foliage is better and it is retained longer than in the old type. It also colors finely in the Fall. It has an advantage over the common type in that it will cling to a wall without support, similar to the Ampelopsis Veitchii. Price, l5c each.; $1.50 per doz.

A. Veitchii (Boston, or Japanese Ivy)— Immensely popular and justly so, as it is the very best general purpose Climber we have. It is perfectly hardy, will grow in. sun or shade, clings closely tO' walls or buildings without support and forms a perfect mat of beautiful foliage, screening completely the object on which it grows. The foliage colors up finely in the Fall. It grows rapidly once it is established but when first planted should be cut off a few inches above ground as should all Ampelopsis.

Aristolochia Sipho (Dutchman’s Pipe)

A hardy Climber which produces very large, light green, heart-shaped leaves and peculiar pipe-shaped flowers. The latter are of minor importance, however, as the great merit of the vine lies in its making a dense shade once it is estab- lished. It requires support and takes a year to get establish- ed after planting, afterwards coming on rapidly.

Bignonia (Trumpet Vine)

The common form Radicans grows well in this part of the country and as it has little merit we dO' not list it, but wish every one would plant the Bignonia G-randifi.ora or Japanese Trumpet Vine, as both foliage and flowers possess great merit. The foliage is large and glossy and remains on the vines into the Fall. The flowers are large and open, borne in clusters, and are of a bright' orange color, being very handsome. For covering walls, old stumps or trees or as specimen plants on a low trellis we know of nothing prettier. All should grow it.

Ampelopsis Veitchii— Boston Ivy

Clematis

Clematis Jackmauni

The Clematis is the most ornamental of all climbers on account of its masses of showy flowers and these also make it very much in demand as all varieties are very hardy and will flower freely almost anywhere but in dense shade once they are established.

There are several distinct types having different seasons of bloom and all should be given a place in the garden or be used for porch decoration wherever possible.

All Clematis make a large root growth and care should be taken in planting to spread the roots and have the crown of the plant two to three inches below the surface. Be sure and dig the holes deep enough and then fill in the center with soil in pyraunid shape. Place the plant on this and spread the roots about it; then fill in with loose soil, pack firmly and water well. No variety makes much growth the first year, but will flower even if small.

Jackmanni — The large single purple (see cut).

Henryii — Similar to the above but a stronger grower, producing large single white flowers over a long period.

Edward Andre — Single red.

Faniculata — This is the popular Japanese Clematis which produces such masses of creamy-white, star-shaped flowers from late Summer on, fol- lowed by fluffy seed pods.

Montana — One of the newer types and one of the hardiest; a distinct variety in that it begins to flower in April, the flowers being pure white, about 1% inches across and borne in such profusion as to- cover the plant.

Price, 30c each.; $3.00 per doz.

Montana Rubens — Similar to the above only that it bears flowers of a soft rosy-crimson color. Not quite as hardy as the white form. Price, 50c each.

Lycium Barbatum (Matrimony Vine)

A very vigorous grower, making long drooping canes and flne for a screen. Covered with small purplish flowers which are insigniflcant, but are followed by red berries which are rather attractive. It looks well planted along low walls or sloping banks and has a tendency to hold the soil from washing.

Lathyrus (Everlasting Pea)

This is really a perennial plant, dying to the ground each Fall and growing vig- orously from the crown each Spring. It is a splendid plant for covering low walls or stumps — -growing four to six feet tall and flowering practically all Summer. The pea-shaped flow- ers being crimson and white and are borne in clusters. 15c each; $1.50 per doz.

Clematis Paniculata

Pueraria (Kudzu Vine)

This is the most rapid growing vine in existence and where one desires a screen it can be quickly secured with this vine. It will grow fifty feet in a season, but dies to the ground each Winter. The foliage somewhat resembles that of a bean. Very hardy.

Vinca (Myrtle)

This does not climb, but is valuable for covering the ground in shady places, w’here grass will not grow. It is an evergreen and forms a perfect mat of leathery foliage. Frequently used for covering graves.

Vinca Minor — The plain green variety. Strong plants, 10c each; $1.00 per doz.; $7.50 per 100.

Vinca Minor Varieagata — A new variety with light green leaves having wide margin of yellow. Strong plants, 25c each; $2.50 per doz.

Wistaria

Everybody knows this vine, with the long drooping sprays of blue pea- shaped flowers. Should be given a sunny location, rich soil and plenty of water, although it wull do fairly well under ordinary conditions, but is worthy of special attention. We can furnish either the blue or white in extra strong plants at 40c each.

Roses

There is some confusion as to the different types of Roses, but one thing is clear, you can grow them if you have a sunny place in which to plant them. They never do well in the shade.

The Hybrid Perpetual Rose is popularly known as the “June” Rose as it bears a full crop of flowers in June and the older types rarely flower after June, but of late years many Hybrid Perpetuals have been introduced which not only flower freely in June but also at intervals during the Summer. This type is the hardiest and most vigorous of all and in it will be found the largest flowers and most brilliant colors, also the most fragrant.

The Hybrid Tea Rose possesses the delicate colors and fragrance of the Tea Rose, also some of the richer color of the Hybrid Per- petual and it is almost as hardy as the latter. It flowers freely all Summer and with the regular Tea variety, constitutes what are known as monthly or everblooming Roses.

The Tea Rose is an old type of Tea scented flower, a variation of the old China Rose. It is distinguished by its Tea odor and delicate coloring. There are shades of yellow, salmon and copper, which one never sees in the Hybrid Perpetual. It flowers all Summer and is especially good in the Fall, but is not as hardy as the other types.

The Hybrid Perpetuals will grow well in any soil but do best in a heavy clay. The Tea and Hybrid Teas grow better in a loamy soil. The ground cannot be too rich for Roses and there is no better fertilizer than cow manure. Give the plants a heavy mulch of this in the Fall and spade it into the soil in the Spring. Bone Meal is also a fine thing to use. Scatter it about the plants so as to just color the ground and fork it in lightly. This can be done several times during the season. , Rose Gen. Jacq.ueminot

(

Trimming should be done early in the Spring before growth commences. Cut back Hybrid Perpetuals one- third, removing very jj weak canes entirely, also any old canes which have ceased making vigorous growth. Teas and Hybrid Teas should be cut back |! within four inches of the ground. The foregoing applies to Roses already established. When new stock is planted all should be ji cut down within four inches of the ground. Set budded or grafted Roses deep enough so that the graft will be below the surface. Water |

well during the season if you want the best results.

Tea and Hybrid Tea Roses

These types of Rose are becoming more popular every year. They are easily grown and yield such quantities of flowers throughout the Summer.

Climbing Roses

All varieties of Roses, especially Climbers, start so early in the Spring that it is well to get them planted soon as possible. They do best in heavy soil, growing luxuriantly in the heaviest clay, but will grow anywhere, provided they are planted in a sunny place. :

There is such a variety of them nowadays that one can get them in many colors and types and there is nothing finer for porch deco- |

ration for planting on fences in lieu of a hedge for trellises or pergolas, and also for individual specimens in the lawn. The more upright | growers, such as Crimson Rambler and Tausendschoen, can be planted singly and allowed to droop just as one treats raspberry canes, I

Cut the canes back so they stand about four feet high and they will make a bush form and be a beautiful sight when in bloom. For ;

making a screen try “American Pillar.” It has thick, glossy, dark green foliage which keeps perfect until after frost. |

Climbers require little pruning. When first set out they should be cut back to within a foot of the ground, but after becoming established, only such wood should be removed as has ceased to make a vigorous growth. Practically all have a habit of sending up new canes from the root each year and if the tops are pinched out of these when they are about five feet high they will branch out. When the old canes do not flower freely, cut them out at the ground and allow the new growth to come on. When Roses are planted, and this applies to all varieties, the soil should be packed firmly about the roots. Climbers about the house should be freely watered as very little rzdn reaches them.

American Pillar — This is a very distinct variety. A very rapid grower with leathery dark g'reen, g-lossy leaves, which hang' on until after frost. The foliag'e is quite as pretty as holly. In June the plants are covered with clusters of single, crimson flowers, largei and very ef- fective. Price, fine plants, 30c each; $3.00 per doz.

Tausendschoen — Every one wants this Rose once they have seen it bloom. It flowers just as freely as the other Rambler Roses, but the flowers are very much larg-er and are a delicate shade of pink — some being- almost white — the two colors being- found on one cluster. It is a very vig-orous grower and a beauty. Price, 40c each; $3.50 per doz.

Climbing* American Beauty — A Rose of recent intro- duction. It grows freely having foliage somewhat like the American Beauty. It flowers in June, having large clusters of flowers quite resembling the bush form, though not as large and rather lighter in color. It is a fine addition to our list of Climbers. Price, 50c each;

$4.00 per doz. Smaller size, 30c each; $3.00 per doz.

Under this heading we list some of the finest trees for decorative purposes. They are all very hardy and add a great deal to the

ippearance of a lawn. In planting, care should be taken to have the holes large enough to accommodate the roots without crowding cind

the trees should be set a trifle deeper than they were in the nursery. The ground line can readily be seen on the bark, the latter being a

ighter color below the surface. The soil should be worked well about the roots and packed firmly. It is well also to pour a bucket of

Another of our native trees and a very beautiful one. The large and showy flowers appearing before the leaves in the Spring. It is quite hard tO' transplant and best suc- cess is had in using rather small trees and care should be taken that the roots are not exposed to the sun and wind any more than is absolutely necessary. It makes a beau- tiful sight when planted with the Cercis or Red Bud, flowering at the same time.

Comus Florida — The regular type with white fmwers.

2 to 3 feet, 35c eacE; 3 to 4 feet, 50c each.

Comus Florida Rubra — A very beautiful form of the above having pink flowers. 2 to 3 feet, $1.00 each; 3 to 4 feet, $1.25 each.

Crataegus (Hawthorn)

Very hardy dwarf trees forming bushy heads and covered in early Summer with showy flowers. We only list the scarlet variety — ^Paul’s, this bearing very double flowers of a bright red scolor. Very pretty. 2 to 3 feet, 30c each;

3 to 4 feet, 50c each.

CytisUS (Golden Chain)

This is a rare tree, yet is hardy and should be more generally planted as it is a beautiful sight when covered with its long drooping sprays of yellow pea-shaped flow- ers much like Wisteria in size and form. It never makes a bushy growth, always running up rather tall so it is well to pinch back such branches as are inclined to get long and make the tree as stocky as possible. It flowers in early Summer and is certainly worthy of a place in every planting of ornamental stock. 4 to 6 feet, 50c each.

Flowering Crab

We do not know of a prettier or more sat- isfactory small tree for ornamental plant- ing than Bechtel’s Double Flowering Crab. The flowers are borne very freely even on young trees and resemble apple blossoms in size and color, but are quite double and fragrant. We cannot recommend it too highly. 2 to 3 ft., 50c each; 3 to 4 ft., 75c.

OinkgO 3iloba (Maiden Hsur Tree)

This derives its name from its foliage which quite resembles a maidenhair fern. It is a beautiful tree and grows to a large size in time. Listed in some places as “Salisburia.” 3 to 4 feet, 50 each; 6 to 8 feet, 75c each.

Magnolia

One of the grandest of all ornamental trees, its immense flowers making it most attractive. The foreign varieties are most generally planted and we have a splendid stock of the best one, Soulangeana, which flowers early in the Spring. Its grand flow- ers open before the leaves appear. In or- der to induce every one to plant this fine tree, we offer them at a very low price. 3 to 4 feet, $1.50 each; 4 to 5 feet,, finelir budded, $2.00 each.

This makes a fine specimen for lawn planting. It does not grow tall but makes a spreading bush which with its fine foliage and odd flowers is very attractive. 2 to 3

feet, 75c each.

Aesculus Rubicunda

This is the red-flowering Horse-Chestnut and is one of the finest ornamental trees. The leaves are deep green, the tree of symmetrical form with showy red bloom. It flowers rather later than other varieties. Fine trees 5 to 7 feet in height, $1.00 each.

Catalpa Bungeii

Often called Umbrella Tree, on account of the form of head which resembles an open umbrella. It is a rapid grower and soon makes fine specimens. Very useful for formal planting. Price, one-year head, 5 to 7 feet tall, ^'$1.00 each; two-year head, 6 to 7 feet tall, $1.50.

CeraSUS (Flowering Cherry)

A very pretty dwarf tree. Covered in early Spring with double flowers hanging in clusters and resembling small white roses. Should not be planted in very rich ground.

Cerasus Aviiim Flore Pleno — 4 to 5 feet, 75c each.

Cercis Canadensis (Red Bud)

This is also known as Judas Tree. It is a native of this ^ section and there is no prettier sight than this tree in bloom; covered as it is with pea-shaped reddish purple flowers before the leaves appear. Rather hard to trans-

1 plant and should be moved when small. .Price, 2 to 3 feet,

2 25c each; 3 to 4 feet, 50c each.

Magnolia Soulangeana

Evergreens

The demand for these is increasing greatly each year and ! with the many varieties available it is possible to get very i beautiful effects. While more difficult to transplant than other trees, yet if handled carefully one seldom loses them.

Evergreens are always shipped with a ball of earth about the roots to keep the latter moist, and as soon as shipment i is received they should be unpacked and the balls dipped in I water to moisten well before unwrapping. Dig the holes larger and deeper than the size of ball and fill in the bottom > with loose soil; then set the tree in and shred the canvas ‘ about the root with a sharp knife, afterwards cutting the | string which holds it. It is not necessary to remove Ccinvas. Draw the soil in about the ball and set firmly. Give the j trees a good watering if the ground is at all dry.

If you wish to prune or trim your Evergreens, do it just as growth commences in the Spring. To make the trees I symmetrical cut off about half of the previous year’s growth ! where necessary. |

Fruit Trees and Small Fruits

Every one should grow fruit of some kind and there are few places which are too small to accommodate a Qierry or Peach tree, I also an ample number of Grape Vines, Currant and Gooseberry Bushes for the average family There is nothing like picking the fruit i fresh from your own garden and no one need feel that it is too hard to grow, as nothing is easier if a little care is given.

I When Fruit trees are received, prune off all broken roots and edl weak breinches, leaving four or five of the strongest to form a good

;;rtop. These should be shortened back to within six buds of the main stem. Peach trees should be pruned even more closely, leaving

iabout two-thirds of the main stem with eill branches cut back to one bud. Holes should be dug of sufficient size to accommodate the

roots 6ind place the trees fully as deep as they were originally in the nursery. Set firmly, pressing the soil about the stems with the foot, j Spraying will be necessary at times and always pays. On another page will be found list of materials and sprayers, Lime-Sulphur i Solution, Arsenate of Lead, and Bordeaux Mixture being the principal articles used. We do not attempt to furnish a long list of varieties

I I but only such as are first-class eind relieible.

Spray Calendar and Formulas

We give Tbelow, in short, concise form, the principal diseases and remedies for various trees, fruits, and shruhs. i The information is necessarily limited, hut we can send catalogue more complete on request.

Insects are both biting and sucking. The first eat leaves and plants and can be generally controlled by poisons such as . Arsenicals. Sucking insects can only be destroyed through oils ,etc., which close the breathing pores.

BITING- INSECTS — Best controlled with 2 lbs. Arsenate of Lead paste to 50 gallons' water. Asparagus Beetles, Bean Leaf Beetles, Spring Canker Worms, Caterpillers, Codling Moth, CurctUio, Plea Beetles, Cherry Pruit Ply, Currant Worms, Locusts, Grasshoppers, Tomato Worms.

BITING INSECTS — Best controlled with Paris Green, either dry or sprayed. Potato Bugs, Tobacco Worms.

SUCKING INSECTS— Kerosene Emulsion or Fish Oil Soap sprayed 20 tO' 50 parts water is effective on Aphis, some Scale Insects, Cabbage Plea Beetles; Chinch Bugs, Bark Lice.

ANTS^ — ^Make holes by driving a stake down six inches deep, then pour in about a tablespoonful of Bisulphide of Carbon. Ants on rose bushes and chrysanthemums are not doing any harm to the plant. They are usually going after Aphis, which they milk. The Aphis should be destroyed.

APPLE — San Jose Scale, Oyster Shell Slcale — Use Lime-

Sulphur Solution one gallon- to ten gallons of water in the Pall or Winter, perferably in the Fall; if badly infested ap- ply twice. Apple Scab, Bud Moth, Curculio, and Canker Worm — Spray with Lime-Sulphur one gallon to 40 gallons of water and add two to three pounds of Arsenate of Lead to each 50 gallons. Apply when the color shows' in the bloom but before the bloom opens. For Codling Moth spray just after the bloom has fallen with Lime-Sulphur one gal- lon to 40 gallons of water, and add two pounds of Arsenate of Lead to each 50 gallons. The worms enter the apple at the blossom, end and icach cup must be filled with spray. Do the work thoroughly. Spray again in 40 to 50 days for the second brood of Codling Moths', which appear at this time. If Bitter Rot or Black Rot should show in the or- chard spray with Lime-Sulphur 1 to 40 or with Bordeaux Mixture 8 to 12 pounds in 50 gallons of water.

BLACKBEBBIES — ^Anthracnose and Rust. Cut out and burn any diseased canes. Spray with Lime-Sulphur 1 to 40 or with Bordeaux Mixture.

CHEBBIT — Porbes or Cherry Scale — Spray with Lime-Sul- phur in the Fall and Winter. For Brown Rot spray with Lime-Sulphur 1 gallon to 40 gallons of water, and add two to three pounds of Arsenate of Lead to poison the Cur- culios. Spray again about ten days after the fruit has set. Slugs often eat the surface of the leaves early in June; spray the trees with Paris Green or Arsenate of Lead.

CHBVSANTHEMUM — Aphis — Use Tobacco Dust or spray with Tobacco Tea very dilute. For Blight use Bordeaux.

CURRANT — Leaf-blight — Apply Sulphate of Copper Solu- tion when injury first appears. After fruit is harvested apply Bordeaux Mixture. Green Currant Worm^ — ^Use Helle- bore or Arsenate of Lead. Borers — ^Cut out and burn in- fested stems early in the Spring.

GOOSEBERRY — Mildew — Before buds break, Bordeaux Mixture. For Worms, dust with Hellebore.

GRAPES — In the Spring gather and burn all dead wood and dried fruit of the previous season. Spray with Bor- deaux Mixture as the buds are swelling. About ten days later spray with Bordeaux. Spray again after the fruit has set and every two' weeks until fruit is nearly full grown.

MAPLE — ^Caterpillers — ^Collect and burn egg rings in Fall and Winter. If practical, spray Arsenate of Lead after first leaves appear. Borers — Insert wire in holes and kill, or inject Bisulphide of Carbon in the hole and close with putty or sticky clays.

BA.RDY SHRXTBS — ^Where affected with Bl^ht, use Bor- deaux Mixture two' or three times in the Spring. For Leaf- eating Insects, Bordeaux Mixture and Arsenate of Lead. Scale — Lime-Sulphur Solution in Fall or Winter.

SHALE TREES — For Scale Insects spray in Pall or Win- ! ter with Lime-Sulphur 1 gallon to 10 gallons' of water. For Piuigous diseases use Lime-Sulphur or Bordeaux Mix- ture; add Arsenate of Lead for leaf-eating caterpillers. For Borers use a wire and pole through burrows, or pour Bisul- phide of Carbon ini the holes and stop up with mud or putty to keep in the fumes.

ONION — Maggot — Destroy the young plants affected as soon as noticed, digging up maggots with the roots. Ro- tate the Onions. Smut — 1 pint Formaldehyde to 25 to 33 gallons water; apply 500 to 700 gallons per acre with a sprinkler.

PEACH, APRICOT, AND PLUM— For Peach-leaf Curl

— Spray in the Spring before the buds open with Lime,- Sulphur 1 gallon to 15 gallons of water. For Brown Rot' and Peach Scab spray with 1 gallon of Lime-Sulphur to 75 gallons. Spray before bloom opens and again about ten days after it has fallen. Spray again in 30 days with the Lime-Sulphur 1 to 75.

PEAR— Blight — Cut out and burn all affected branches and twigs as soon as the Blight appears; if possible cut' about six inches below blighted part. For Pear Scab and Codling Moth spray as recomjmended for the apple.

QUINCE — If twigs blight, cut out and burn all those af- fected. Spray with Lime-Sulphur and Arsenate of Lead aS' for apple after bloom has fallen.

ROSES — Leaf-curl and Blight — Bordeaux Mixture, apply, twice'. For Green-fly or Aphis — Arsenate of Lead before the buds form; afterwards Lemon Oil Insecticide or Tobacco Solution. For Slugs — ^Arsenate of Lead. |.

STRAWBERRIES — Leaf-blight, Mildew — When growth ^ begins in Spring, Bordeaux Mixture. When first fruits are set, repeat. After fruit is harvested, repeat every twoj weeks*.

TOMATO — Leaf-blight — As soon as disease is discovered, Bordeaux Mixture; repeat every week or ten days. Rot — Train the vines, giving as much sunlight as possible. Sow seed at different times, so as to* have two or three plant- ings. Pick infested fruit.

SAN JOSE SCALE — ^This pest is becoming so serious that it behooves every farmer, whether he be a fruit grower or not, to help destroy it. The insect unfortunately is little understood and hardly noticeable until the trees are prac- tically killed. On young twigs and veins of the leaves of trees thickly infested, small spots of a reddish discolora- tion appear around the scales. On the trunk and branches ' there is a rough grayish appearance as if it had been coated with dark ashes. These insects multiply so rapidly that it ^ has been estimated at Washington, D. C., that the progeny of a single female would number 3,216,080,400 by Fall if all were to survive. They are transferred from tree to tree by wind, crawling on the feet of birds and in other ways. At first they seemed to confine their efforts in temperate lati- tudes to stone fruits, but have spread to apple, pear, and other fruit trees, besides oak, maple, and various shade trees, shrubs, and small fruits. When first born the fe- males move around freely from twelve to thirty-six hourS; then thrust their beaks into the bark or fruit of the tree and do not move again. The scaly filaments form over it and they procreate about every thirty days in Summer, the last brood living over until Spring. It is imperative that all farmers take up the question of the San Jose Scale, They can be controlled by spraying Lime-Sulphur Solutior in the Fall, Winter, and early Spring months while the tree is dormant, 1 gallon to 10 gallons water, and it is best to spray twice. In the Summer this strong solution cannot be used on account of injury to foliage and fruit, but even weaker solution, 1 gallon to 30 or 40 gallons of water, j seems to have beneficial effect.

BLUE^R-IBBON^SEEDS

Insecticides and Fungicides

For Plants, Trees, Weeds, etc.

IiZMZ:-ST7LFHUI& SOLUTION— This is the standard rem- edy adopted and recommended by practically all of the ex- Deriment stations for destroying- San Jose and Oyster Shell 3cale. It is to be diluted 1 to 10, and sprayed or applied to ;rees while they are dormant in Fall or Winter. It is also lighly recomtmended as an insecticide and fungicide, kill- ng spores of fungi, and as an insecticide acts as a con- stant poison for sucking insects and mites. LUVCU-SUIiFHUR solution is a clear cherry red solu- ion free from sediment and cannot clog the nozzles. It is guaranteed to contain 33% of lime and sulphur which will ;est 32% to 33% Baume. The value of Lime-Sulphur as an nsecticide and fungicide is due entirely to the sulphur in !ombination with lime existing as Poly-Sulphides. Owing o the great care and improved methods of manufacture his Lime-Sulphur contains the maximum amount of Sul- phur in the Poly-Sulphide form. Practically all of the ex- )eriment stations recommend Lime-Sulphur as the best ;pray for destroying scale insects, and also recommend its ise in place of Bordeaux for Summer spray.

Lime-Sulphur Solution is being largely used as a Summer ?pray now, especially in mixtures -with Arsenate of Lead. tVhen used for a Summer spray, one pound to 30 gallons of vater are about the proportions. Qt., 25c; V2 gal., 40c; -ah, 60c; 5 gals., $1.75; 25 gals., $5.00; bbl. (about 50 gals), )8.00. Special prices in large lots.

Can be applied either iry or in a solution of water; if dry use Leggett’s Dry Powder Gun of Beetle Duster (see implements); if diluted ■ise one pound of Green to 100 gallons of water. For ten- ier foliage or trees double the quantity of water. Paris 3-reen acts a little quicker than Arsenate of Lead, but vashes off more easily. It is better to use on garden crops )r tobacco, and Arsenate of Lead is best for trees. Faris •ilreen and Bordeaux Mixture give excellent results on pota- ;oes, the Green killing the bugs and the Bordeaux pre- senting blight. Price fluctuates. Present price, V2 lb., 15c; ,b., 20c; 5 lbs., at 18c; 100 lbs. about 15c per lb.

■ ABSBNATB OP LBAD — One of the best and most effect- ve poisonous insecticides for leaf-eating insects, and more especially adapted to trees and shrubs, as it adheres to the foliage better, is not so liable to be washed off by rains, md does not burn. We can supply Arsenate of Lead either n paste form to be diluted with water, 3 lbs. to 50 gallons, er in dry form for dusting or dissolving. The dry form is ibout twice as strong as the paste and sells at higher price. For tender plants use a weaker solution than men- tioned above.

Dunham

Dunham Lawn Rollers

To have a good lawn it is absolutely necessary to use a lawn roller at least once a week in the Spring, to smooth down the ground which i has been spewed up by the Winter freezing and thawing and the wash ' of heavy rains. It is also necessary where moles and insects make uneven places, and which cause the grass to die out. !

Dunham Rollers are ball-bearing and run 44 per cent, easier than > other makes. It is as easy to pull a 650-lb. Dunham Roller as a 350-lb. ' roller of another make, on level ground. We list below two styles. The ; Water Weight Rollers are coming into more general use because they I are cheaper and can be transported more easily. The Standard Lawn ! Rollers are weighted without additional material. Space will not allow | full listing of all styles of lawn rollers which we can supply, but we ! will mail on request Success With Lawns, giving full illustrations and ; descriptions, besides information on the Proper Care of Lawns, on request.

Quan- tity is easily gauged and machine can be quickly thrown out of gear.

Pulverizing Harrows

This is the lig-htest weight and lightest : draft Harrow made and yet will pulverize any soil whether light or heavy, leaving a ! perfectly even seed bed, such as is not pro- I duced by any other Harrow, It combines \ the work, of a disc and spike harrow, i smoothing as a spike harrow and pulveriz- ing as a disc; the adjustment of teeth by the lever varying the depth of work. In its r operation, instead of bringing to the sur- face trash and weeds which the plow has ; turned under, it cuts them up and leaves ,

them beneath the surface to rot and add to '

the fertility of the soil. The fine condition ji in which this Harrow leaves the soil in- 1, creases its power to hold moisture, and i thus gives the growing crops a better

chance to withstand drought. Insist on i having the genuine “RAWlINGS: FUIi- < VBRZZING HARROW.” Idst Price-

Rawling*s Pulverizing Harrow No. 3

Planet, Jr., Pivot Axle Riding Cultivators

Can be used as a Plow, Purrower, Ridger and Disc Hoe, Hiller, Marker, and for Fallow Work. The No. 76 combines nearly all the advantages of all other Planet Jr. riding cultivators. The combination of the best parts of these tools in one would seem to make a machine which would be without a rival in popu- larity and usefulness. The arch is high, frame and tongue are of steel and the change in width of the wheels is all that could be desired. It has powerful levers, and the gang frame is strong. The standards are adjustable for depth, and toi throw to> or from the row. The extra wide arch is very desirable. The draft is arranged to insure satis- factory work in all conditions of soil.

In this section it is in general use by gardeners in the culti- vation of potatoes, both sides of the row at once, from planting to last working. It is the finest corn cultivator in uSe and the most practical, useful tool for all cultivating work for the garden, farm or orchard. For tobacco nothing can excel it and the most prominent planters are using and endorsing it en- thusiastically. As shown in the cut, the equipment consists of eight cultivator teeth generally used four on a side; it also has two reversible plows and two eight- inch furrowing shovels, and one pair 14- inch discs, all easily applied and ad- justed to any width rows.

No. 70 — Wood frame and tongue, prac- tically same as No. 75, except that it cannot be widened so far. Price $38.00.

No. 75 — All steel frame and tongue. Can be opened wider than No. 70. Price $40.00.

All of the above Cultivators can be | supplied with Spring Trip Teeth instead of Pin Break as shown in cnt at $5.00 extra price.

Rawlings Pulverizing Harrow No. 6

Rawlings Pulverizing Harrow No. 3

This is a one-horse walking size and is a combined har- row and cultivator. It is usable for harrowing as are the other sizes, and unlike them, is sufficiently narrow for use as a cultivator in rows 3 feet 6 inches wide, or more. Its combination of work makes it an unequalled implement in the corn and cotton fields of the South. Try it.
