As is customary at this time of year we present you with our annual catalogue. Thanking our customers for their liberal patronage and recommendations in the past.

It is our ambition as seed men to offer our customers nothing but the best, and we believe that, through our long and extensive experience, we have obtained an un- equaled knowledge of the habits and character of garden vegetables and flowers, and of the soil and climate conditions essential to the production of seeds of the highest

type-

Being possessed of facilities to have our Seeds grown by only the best American and European growers, each item in a climate and soil best suited to bring it to the highest perfection, we solicit your orders, confident of giving perfect satisfaction.

REMARKS TO PURCHASERS

CASH WITH ORDER. Please send money with the order sufficient to cover the whole bill, to facilitate the execution of your order. When only a part is remitted goods will be sent only to amount of remittance. We do not send any goods C. O. D.

REMITTANCES. Remittances should be made by Post Office Money Orders, Bank Drafts or Express Money Orders. Postage Stamps will be found a convenient method of remitting for small amounts, and can be used by us to advantage.

FORWARDING. If the money is sent with the order and received by us, we guarantee the safe arrival of all packages; but we cannot assume any responsibility for delay in transit. When customers fail to receive their packages in a reasonable time, they should inform us, and at the same time send a copy of their order and any other information necessary to trace the goods.

But we do guarantee that all seeds sold by us are first-class, pure and of strong germinating power. However, we give no warranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, productiveness or any other matter of any Seeds, Bulbs or Plants we send out, and we will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods on these terms, they are at once to be returned.

The freshest Seeds may sometimes fail; hence the value of this precaution to send out none but good seeds. We know with proper treatment our Seeds will grow, and, by following the cultural directions given, though brief, the least experienced cultivator cannot fail to have success.

A cultivator may be used between the drills, being careful not to throw the earth too much over the bulbs. Weed the drills very carefully, and never allow the weeds to get ahead of the young plants. The onions may be pulled as soon as the tops are all down. Expose to the sun for a few days to dry them off for storage or. markets

Sweet and Pot Herbs, ^iidjen^taitter

Every garden should contain a few herbs for culinary or medical purposes. The chief point is to harvest them properly, which should be done on a dry day, when not quite in full bloom; then dry quickly and pack closely, and entirely exclude from the air. Sow early in the spring in shallow drills, one foot apart, and when well up thin out or transplant to a proper distance apart.

HOW TO MAKE AN ASPARAGUS BED.

Mark out rows for field culture six feet apart with a two- horse plow, going twice in a row, getting row as deep as possible without getting in the yellow soil, spread in row good well-rotted manure or fertili- zer, drop on manure about ten inches apart (eye up) good two- year-old roots, cover with a hoe about two inches. In about two or three weeks the Asparagus will be up enough to cultivate; work same as any other field crop, gradually working in soil as season advances, naturally it will work itself in; the following spring, plow off with a one-horse plow very shallow so as to not cut the crowns, and work same as previous season; the next season your bed will be ready for cutting for market, simply plow to, same as season before, then turn in with a two horse plow and rake off the top and your bed is completed, and you can cut every day, till July 4th — a bed made this way will last for twenty years. For a garden, follow same plan; but as the gardens are generally very rich, you can plant much closer, and work by hand, in- * stead with horse and plow. Plant March, April or May.

MIXTURE OF GRASS SEED FOR PERMANENT PASTURE.

Most of our western farmers have not yet learned that a pasture or meadow of mixed grasses is far superior to Clover and Timothy alone, but such is the case. Our mixture for permanent pasture con- sists of Orchard Grass, Red Top, Blue Grass, and a number of the very best imported perennial grasses. This we can recommend to all. It must, however, be borne in mind that a pasture sod cannot be ob- tained in one year. Sow about 50 pounds to an acre. Ten lbs., $2,00 ; 100 lbe., $12.00,

We also prepare cheaper mixtures if wanted-

SCHISLER-CORNELI SEED COMPANY,

Clover Seed.

Special price on larger quantities.

RED CLOVER. (Trifolium Pratense.) This is by far the most important of all varieties for practical purposes. Sow in the spring or fall, and if no other grasses are used, at the rate of 8 to io pounds to the acre; more is required on old, stiff soils than on new and lighter ones. Lb., 25c.

WHITE CLOVER. (Trifolium Repens), A small creeping, perennial variety, val- uable for pasturage and lawns. It ac- commodates itself to a variety of soils, but prefers moist ground. Sow in spring, at the rate of 6 pounds per acre; or when used with other grasses, half that amount. Lb., 60c.

ALSIKE, OR SWEDISH CLOVER. (Tri- folium Hybridum). The most hardy of all perennial clovers. On rich, moist soil it yields an enormous quantity of hay or pasturage, but its greatest value is for sowing with other clovers and grasses, as it forms a thick bottom and greatly increases the yield of hay; cattle prefer it to any other forage. The heads are globular, fragrant, and much liked by bees, which obtain a large amount of honey from them. Sow in spring or fall, at the rate of 8 pounds per acre. Lb., 25c.

CRIMSON TREFOIL, OR SCARLET ITALIAN CLOVER (Trifolium Incarnatum) An annual variety in common use in the South for feeding green and for hay. The yield in fodder is immense, and after cut- ting it at once commences to grow again, continuing until cold, freezing weather. It grows about one foot high; the roots are nearly black; leaves long, blossoms long, pointed and of a very deep red, or carmine color. Makes good hay. It is sown in August or September in the South, but should not be planted in the North until spring. Sow 12 to 15 pounds to the acre. Lb,, 20c; 100 lbs., $15.00.

ALFALFA, OR LUCERNE CLOVER

(Medicago Sativa). Do not sow this clover on land having a stiff clay or hard-pan sub- soil, as the roots naturally penetrate to a

great depth, and must do so if the plants live any time. Sow in rich, moist loam or sandy soil, having a deep sub-soil. Prepare the land thoroughly and sow the seed at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre, with a broadcaster or grass seeder. Cover with a brush or light harrow. The young plants are quite tender, and the land must be free from weeds until they become established. Lb., 25c; 100 lbs., $22.00.

TIMOTHY. (Phleum Pratense.) This is the most valuable of all grasses for hay. Thrives best on moist, loamy soil of medium tenacity. It should be cut just when the blossom falls.

Add 10 cents per pound for postage.

JAPAN CLOVER — Lespedeza Stria- ta. Low perennial, spreading habit; stands excessive drouth well, flourishes on poorest soil in Southern States; it makes a fair hay and stock eat it readily when green. Is also valuable for turn- ing under as green manure. Sow at the rate of 20 to 30 lbs. per acre. Per lb., 30c; 10 lbs., $2.00.

SWEET CLOVER. We have the White Blooming, which is preferred. It is sown along the roadsides for bee- keepers; has a white flower and both leaves and flowers are fragrant. It is used in some sections for hay; it grows on any soil, seeding itself as the tops die down. Sow 15 to 25 lbs. per acre. Hulled seed, per lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.00.

Detailed Description

The pump is made entirely of brass. It has two ball valves so arranged that they may be instantly cleaned. The threads are all cut, not rolled, so that there is no chance for leak- age; Pump is double acting and will generate a pressure of 180 lbs.

We furnish, with this pump, 3^4 ft. of iH$-in. suction hose and a heavy strainer that keeps the hose from working out of a bucket or tank.

The strainer screen can be easily taken out of the strainer casting. This strainer has 5 square inches of screen surface.

The extension is extra and is very useful for spraying field crops. The extension is curved so that the operator can direct the spray up or down while using the pump in a horizontal position.

The knapsack tank is also extra and is essential where the sprayer has to be

continually moved about, such as spraying rows of potatoes;

The “SUCCESS” Bucket Sprayer

A very effective pump for general use in the garden, greenhouse and small orchard. The brass air chamber compels a constant stream, the operator being enabled to pause between each stroke, as rapid pumping is not necessary. All parts coming in contact with the liquid are of brass.

The “Success” Spray Pump is excellent for white- washing and disinfecting stables and poultry houses; also for washing windows and buggies, for putting out fires and for various other services, in addition to the regular work of spraying.

The pump is regularly fitted with our “Bordeaux” nozzle and three feet of 24-inch hose.

Price, ready for bucket $5.00

THE LOWELL BLOW POWDER SPRAYER

Some prefer to use Paris Green, Slug Shot or other disin- fectants in powder form mixed with dry plaster or Bordeaux mixture with lime. To meet this demand the Lowell Blow Powder Sprayer is especially constructed, and is, without exception, the most popular machine on the market. The powder can holds one quart and the sprayer has an aluminized finish.

INCUBATOR AND BROODER

Chamberlain’s Perfect Setting Hen Incubator and Brooder

This incubator gets the name of “Perfect Setting Hen” because of its appearance. The cut shows the incubator as it looks when the machine is in opera- tion. It is made of metal, therefore is fireproof. It takes up but little space, not as much as is re- quired for a living setting hen. It holds 26 hen’s eggs and is simple and easy to operate. The ad- vantage of having a hen to set whenever wanted is realized in this incubator, as it can be set at any time of the year in any climate. It fulfills a long needed want of the small poultry raiser and the fancier alike.

A CHILD CAN OPERATE.

The incubator is easy to operate because it is small and can be placed anywhere in the house and all parts requiring daily attention are easy to get to. Any child can operate this machine successfully. Hatching chicks with this incubator, the same as with any other, depends upon fertile eggs to begin with and the care and attention given it. This machine will do just as good work as brood hens.

A PROFITABLE PASTIME.

For persons who do not care to operate a larger incubator, but who wish to raise a small number of chickens, this machine is one that will fill their want. It takes so little time to care for it with but little cost for oil that it is a pleasure which can be made profitable. A number of early hatched chicks are fully appreciated later in the spring. Ladies who are interested in raising chickens will fully appreciate the value of a small incubator of this kind.

AN EDUCATOR.

This is a very good investment for the younger children. It teaches them about hatching and raising chickens and is a good study for the younger minds. With but little explanation almost any child can operate it successfully, and if they are inter- ested in this work it will develop them into the business on a larger scale.

It is the machine that has been needed by the fancier for setting especially selected eggs when new blood from specially mated birds is desired.

BROODER.

The shipping case is ar- ranged so that it can be used as an indoor brooder and will house a full hatch for six weeks.

All parts of the incubator and brooder are easy to get to and can be cleaned with ease.

The Incubator and Brooder are sold complete for $5.75.

SCHISLER-CORNELI SEED COMPANY,

Sudan Grass.

SUDAN GRASS, which is one of the

sorghums, is very similar in growth to Johnson Grass, but differs from the lat- ter in that it is entirely free from the persistent underground root system which makes a Johnson Grass sod so difficult to eradicate. Sudan Grass, be- ing an annual and having fiberous roots similar to wheat, or oats, is as easily controlled and eradicated as millet at the close of the growing season.

This grass is even more thrifty in growing than Johnson grass, reaching from 4 to 7 feet in height, producing medium small stems and an abundance of broad linear leaves. The color of the plant is a shade paler, and is more pal-

atable than any other sorghum hay. One plant produces from io to 25 culms.

While Sudan will grow in almost any soil or climate, it is especially adapted to the arid and semi-arid regions of the Southwest. Planting for hay should be done broadcast, using about 8 pounds of seed to the acre, or if grown for seed purposes the rate should be 3^2 pounds, in rows sl/2 feet apart and intertilled as cotton and corn. Planting time is usu- ally during April.

The yield of Sudan hay is from 8 to 12 tons to the acre and the quantity of seed when grown for the latter purpose under normal conditions, is from 25 to 30 bushels. Price, 20c per pound, post- paid; per 100 lbs., $10.00.

TEXAS RUSTPROOF OATS. The seed of this oats has a reddish cast and is very heavy. It is the only kind which will not rust in the Southern climate. Can be sown as early as October and should be pastured down as soon as they commence to joint until February. These Oats have a tendency to stool and do not require as much per acre as common Oats. Price on application.

WINTER TURF OATS. This is a winter variety and should be sown early in fall. It has been tried in nearly all sections of this country and has given satis- factory results. They are said to be as hardy as winter wheat and to largely out- yield spring oats. New crop ready in August. Price upon application.

PULVERIZED MIXED MANURE.

A splendid natural fertilizer for every use where a distinctly separate one kind of manure is not necessary. Supplies originate where different kinds of live stock are handled together.

Price, per 100-lb. bag, $1.50; per ton,

$20.00.

PURE PULVERIZED SHEEP MANURE.

A pure natural manure, and most nutri- tious for plants. Its effect is immediate

and lasting. Excellent for mixing with the soil or greenhouse plants (one part manure and six parts soil). Strewn over and dug into the vegetable garden, or placed directly in drills, or hills, it pro- motes a rapid, steady growth until ma- turity. It makes rich, safe and quick liquid manure; 1 pound to 5 gallons of water. Can be used daily, if necessary. 5-lb. bags, 25c; 50-lb. bags, $1.10; 100-lb. bags, $2.00; per ton, $25.00.

WALKER’S FLOWER AND PLANT FOOD. A most useful fertilizer for all kinds of plants raised in pots. It pro- duces a rapid and vigorous growth and an abundance of flowers. Odorless, and takes the place of liquid manure. Drives insects out of the soil. Small packages, containing food for 20^ plants for three months, 15c; 3 for 40c; if by mail, add 5 cents per package. Large packages, con- taining sufficient plant food for one year, 25c; 3 for 65c; if by mail, add 15 cents per package. Each package contains full directions.

How to MaKe a Hot Bed.

In order to secure an early supply of vegetables, a hot-bed frame is indis- pensable. It can be constructed by any man, at a very small cost. It consists of a wooden frame generally six feet wide and from six to sixteen feet long, according to the supply of early vege- tables required; one side to be at least six inches higher than the other; the frame to be subdivided by cross-bars, and each division covered by a glazed sash. After completion, place it on the manure bed, prepared in the following manner. The frame should face the south or southeast; fill in about ten inches of rich pulverized soil, and al- low it to stand a few days, giving it air by slightly raising the sash, so that the steam may escape. The seeds of Cabbage, Cauliflower, Egg Plant, Pep- per, Tomato and many other varieties may be sown and the plants planted out as soon as the weather becomes warm.

PREPARING MANURE FOR HOT- BEDS. Fresh stable manure only not exceeding six weeks old, is suitable for this purpose. Turn it over into a com- pact heap, protected from heavy rain or snow; allow it to remain so for about eight days, when it should be made up into the requisite form to suit the frame. Where the ground is quite dry, a very good method is to dig a space about eighteen inches deep and put the manure therein; tramp it firmly and evenly; place thereon the frame and sash; put in the rich earth, and in about four days sow the seed, having previ- ously stirred the earth freely, to destroy any seeds or weeds therein.

IN ORDER TO HAVE A

Perfect and Enduring Lawn

OF CLOSE, FIRM, ELASTIC TURF, USE

FOREST PARK LAWN GRASS is composed of the finest varieties of imported and Domestic Grasses, each of which has its season of beauty. The result of this, blending is the production of a sod that is always green and velvety. Many of the finest lawns of our city are seeded with FOREST PARK LAWN GRASS. This seed is the climax of experiments lasting over a quarter century, our ultimate aim being to secure a satisfactory mixture for this locality. A well-balanced mixture is to be preferred to a single variety. Use plenty of seed, at least 1 pound to every 300 square feet, 40 to 60 pounds per acre, according to texture of lawn desired. If soil is heavy and sour an application of air-slacked lime is beneficial, but if ground is lacking in nourishment an application of fertilizer is necessary.

WE RECOMMEND AND SELL

Mulford Cultures

momm^GMMJPsS

To Inoculate Your

ALFALFA, CLOVERS, COW PEAS, SOY BEANS, VETCHES, BEANS, PEAS AND ALL OTHER LEGUME CROPS.

Small Cost Large Returns Easy to Use No Labor Expense

MULFORD CULTURES contain pure, tested strains of active, vigorous nitro- gen-fixing bacteria for inoculating seeds of legumes or soil.

MULFORD CULTURES are “different” and should not be confused with other brands.

The color is different (they are dark, almost black, due to a special ingredient added to increase the growth and activity of the bacteria).

The count is different (bacterial counts show fully twice as many bacteria as in the old-form cultures).

The bottle is different (being sealed — an important feature which prevents all possibility of contamination from the outside air).

Increase Your Crops— Improve Your Soil

Legumes offer the best-known means of maintaining soil fertility and rejuvenat- ing overcropped and wornout fields. They add both humus and nitrogen to your soil and thus increase your yield of clover, wheat, corn and other non-legume crops.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture and many State Agricultural Experiment Stations recommend inoculation of legumes with nitrogen-fixing bacteria to induce a prompt “catch” and increase your yield.

MULFORD CULTURES are scientifically prepared and tested by experts, in the biological laboratories of H. K. Mulford Co.

Be sure to specify the particular legume on which you desire to use the MUL- FORD CULTURES. PRICES:

MULFORD CULTURES are supplied for the varieties of legumes listed at the following prices: (“A Dollar per Acre”)

1-Acre Size $1.50 5-Acre Size $5.00 Garden Size (^ Acre).. $0.50

(These prices include delivery on freight shipments).

Why buy expensive commercial nitrates when you can grow legume crops and thus increase your yield and at the same time increase the nitrates and enrich and renovate your soil by Nature’s own method?

Sticky Tree Cord

A soft cord, about Y of an inch in diameter, thoroughly sat- urated and coated with a black, sticky material similar in character to that used on sticky fly paper.

It is supplied in tubes about 234x6 inches, and the cord is pulled out through a hole in the screw top, which has an attachment for clamping to facilitate cutting off the cord. It is applied to trees by tacking one end to the tree, then passing it around once or twice, tacking about every 18 inches and then cut off.

The cord will not run or drip appreciably and will remain sticky for three or four months, according to climatic con- ditions.

Much easier to apply than fly paper, lasting three or four times as long.

Trees banded with STICKY TREE CORD are not un- sightly. No injury is sustained by the tree, because it is non-poisonous. Rough barked trees should have a channel 2 inches wide cut into the bark to give a fairly smooth sur- face for the cord. No caterpillar, slug, worm or other insect can cross it nor go underneath it, if properly applied. It is easy to remove in the fall. ‘ i:

PRICE, 25c

(Per tube containing about 30 feet of cord. By mail, 10c

extra.)

A small clamp to catch hold of the cord is supplied free Tree Banded with Sticky Tree Cord, Weight about 1^2 pounds.

PURE CULTURE

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

“NITRAGIN” is the trade-mark name for the special germ, or bacteria, that acts on the legume root, draws nitrogen from the air and converts it into plant food. As a result there is a uniform “catch”; the crop grows quickly; it is strong, hardy and healthy — deep-rooted — rich in food-value. Meanwhile your soil is growing richer instead of poorer — your land more valuable.

Failure with legumes is usually due to lack of bacteria. In “NITRAGIN” Pure Culture we send you billions of these necessary nitrogen-gathering germs, packed in proper food to keep them alive, active and healthy.

It’s easy to treat your seed with “NITRAGIN” Pure Culture. A boy can do it in ten minutes.

If your past experience with legume crops has been unsatis- factory it was probably because your soil lacked these vital, strength- giving germs. Some soils have only a partial supply; in other soils the germ is missing or so sickly as to be worthless. Such soils need “NITRAGIN” Pure Culture tosupply an abundance of pure, healthy, strong, virile bacteria. This means a profitable crop and new life to the soil.

If you have been successful in growing legumes you can have greater success by using “NITRAGIN” Pure Culture.

A green manure crop inoculated with “NITRAGIN” Pure Culture provides a richer humus in far greater volume than does a non- inoculated legume.

Look for the Armour Oval Label

This is the original Pure Culture — discovered by Nobbe and Hiltner, famous German bacteriologists. It has been perfected by twenty years of scientific testing, in the laboratory and on the farm. The germs come to you packed in a granular food — in a ventilated can— the safe and satisfactory way.

Why use imitations when you can be sure of perfect inoculation by using“NITRAGIN”Pure Culture. The Armour Fertilizer Works guarantee “NITRAGIN” Pure Culture to retain health and vitality for 6 months from date of preparation, stamped on can.

The Pure Culture system of inoculating legumes is en- dorsed by U. S. Government authorities, by state experiment stations, practical farmers and other agricultural experts.

These men have accomplished wonders with inoculated legumes. You can do the same on your farm by using “NITRAGIN” Pure Culture.

There is a special strain for each legume. In ordering be sure to name the crop desired.
