FRANKLIN PARK LAWN SEED
TRADE MARK REGISTERED
BEST SEED makes BEST LAWNS
FRANKLIN PARK LAWN SEED
Free from Weeds Contains No Chaff Seeds
Highest Percentage of Germination Mixed of Selected Grasses. Cheapest Lawn Seed to Use for Lawns, Terraces, Croquet Grounds, Etc.
Our Franklin Park Lawn Seed is made up of all the recleaned seeds of different varieties that will make a good lawn quickly, so that when the seed is sown, if the ground is in proper shape, it will start at once and in a short time show a beautiful, deep green lawn and retain the same during the season with slight attention.
The mixture of grass seed that we sell under this name is made by the identical formula used by the Park Commissioners of the City of Boston in their w'ork in laying out the beautiful lawns and terraces, which add so much charm to our new parks. For many years the grass seed used on these parks has been supplied by us, which fact should be a strong guarantee of quality. The Franklin Park mixture gives a fine, velvety sward within a few weeks after sowing. Weight per bushel, 32 lbs. The very large demand for this lawn seed has necessitated our having the name “Franklin Park” registered as a trade mark, in order to protect ourselves from imitators.

SHADY SPOT LAWN SEED
For sowing on the north side of buildings, between houses, and for securing a lawn
under large shade trees.
In many lawns there are places which seem as if nothing can be grown; some are shaded by large trees and others by buildings. For these locations we have offered for some time our Shady Spot Lawn Seed, which readily meets the desired requirement.
It is always advisable for those who are seeding down the shady places to supply new soil, if possible, especially if the large trees are producing the shade, as their roots spread so fast and exhaust the nourishment in the soil. In the event of not being able to supply new soil, the ground should be well dug over, and if tree roots , predomi- nate, these should be taken out.
In most places where grass seed is to be sown, when shaded by buildings, the soil will have a tendency to sour, and in such cases we strongly recommend the use of slaked lime (about 50 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.).
This special mixture for shady locations is selected from the best grasses possible to obtain for this purpose, and only those that will grow and flourish under shady conditions are used.
The ordinary lawn grass might grow for a short time, but as a general rule it will not last but one or two seasons, and then make a poor showing.
Shady Spot Lawn Seed if sown in these places will undoubtedly grow and produce the best satisfaction.

BOSTON QUALITY LAWN SEED
What is more attractive than a well-designed house surrounded by artistically treated grounds and a beautiful lawn, the rich, green, velvety turf being al- ways the most attractive?
You can make your lawn by using sod or sowing seed. If sods are used you may have your lawn quicker, but it is not to be compared to the one sown by seed, as the dry weather causes creases to form, about which the grass dies out, and the grasses in the sod usually found in the pastures or on the roadsides, and which is generally the kind used, are not the sort to make a smooth turf on a lawn.
Use the “Boston Quality Lawn Seed.” It is
not the work of a novice to select varieties of grasses that will produce a lawn for all situations, but he must be a person of long experience and thorough knowledge of the growth of grasses that will make a good turf.
You will find the “Boston Quality Lawn Seed” one that meets the requirements. It is composed of such grasses that make a good turf, carefully blended together in such proportions as will produce a good lawn when properly prepared, and will grow under varied conditions, soils and climates and at different seasons of the year. Here is the advantage of the “Boston Quality Lawn Seed.”
For making new lawns use 4 bushels to acre; 1 qt. will sow 300 square feet or a plot 15 x 20 feet.
Pt. 15c., qt. 30c., 2 qts. 55c., 4 qts. $1.00, bus. $1.75, }/% bus. $3.00, bus. $6.00.

STERLINGWORTH WEED KILLER
Sterlingworth Weed Killer is especially adapted for destroying weeds in walks, drives, dirt tennis courts, golf links, etc., or any other place where the killing of all vegetation is desired. One application will kill roots and foliage in 48 hours.
Prices: 1-lb. pkg. 50c., mailing weight 2 lbs.; 5-lb.rpkg., $2.00, mailing weight 6 lbs.
SHEEP MANURE. Wizard Brand
“A Wagon Load in A Bag”
Is the best, most convenient and economical natural manure. A word about our process: What is known as the Direct Heat Process, by which the cold, wet manure is brought into direct contact with 2,000 to 2,600 degrees of heat generated from fuel oil under high pressure is used to evaporate the moisture. It is then screened free from bedding and rough stuff and packed in shredded form, or continued through grinders and pulverized as desired. This high temperature and quick drying effectually destroys the vitality of weed seeds and makes these products safe for all particular uses, such as golf course, country club and park lawns, market gardens, etc., in which the introduction of weeds and foreign grasses would be extremely objectionable. If you really want the greenest kind of a velvety lawn and gardens that will be a de- light to possess, flowers of rare foliage and bloom, fruits and vegetables and berries that come near to perfection, give your soil a good dressing of Wizard Brand Sheep Manure the first thing this Spring. It does not fill your lawn with noxious weeds, it is always ready and clean to use, also easy to apply.
For top dressing lawns it is highly recommended. Quantity required about 100 lbs. per 2000 sq. ft. of Lawn, or one ton per acre.

Our mixture can safely be used to rival the finest courses in this country. It is composed of varieties which will grow well together to produce a strong, thick turf, suitable for all good soils.
In selecting a mixture for Courses with unusual soil conditions, such as extremely low or boggy, high and dry locations, or soil which is very light and sandy, it would be for the purchaser’s advantage to mention the condi- tions. We recommend our Mixture for laying down new courses, and also for renovating old ones. Amount of seed necessary for one acre,, from 100 lbs. to 150 lbs.

Putting Green Grass Mixture
A very carefully prepared mixture for use on putting greens, croquet lawns, tennis courts, bowling greens, and lawns used for clock golf. This mixture produces a very thick, soft growth, when sown on a well-prepared ground, and mowed short will allow a ball to roll in almost a direct line. We especially recommend this mixture , to those who are particular to obtain the very best. Twenty-five lbs. will seed a putting green 75 feet square.

SPECIAL MIXTURES MADE FOR SPECIAL LOCATIONS
We have many inquiries from customers who have made experiments of their own, and have found that certain varieties of grass will do better than others on their land. We are well aware that we cannot make one mixture that will do for all lands, and are pleased to have our customers consult with us regarding varieties suitable for their particular land, or if they have certain varieties to include in their mixture we are only too pleased to serve them in this way, for we have, on pages 56-57, a very complete list of fancy varieties that we always carry a large stock of, and will put up any mixture desired. We have facilities for executing all such orders promptly.

Culture. — In February or March sow in hotbed, transplant to the open in May in rows three or four feet apart, and two feet apart in the rows. Should give globes the same year.

Asparagus (©pargel)
One ounce will sow about 50 feet of drill.
Culture. — Asparagus roots may be purchased in the Spring, or may be grown from seed sown in April or May, in good soil, in drills 12 to 14 inches apart. The permanent bed should be made very rich with well-rotted manure, and thoroughly worked over to a depth of nearly
2 feet. The Asparagus roots (either one or two years old) are to be transplanted into* this bed, setting them in rows
3 or 4 feet apart, leaving about 18 inches between the plants in the row. Lay the roots flat in trenches, spread- ing them well, and using care to have all the crowns placed in the same direction, to keep the roots from running together. Cover lightly at first, gradually filling the trenches as the plants begin to start; the crowns of the roots should be about six inches below the level of the bed. Avoid location near trees, particularly large trees, or their roots will soon takejpossession of the ground. BARR’S MAMMOTH. It comes early and grows a large

French Horticultural Dwarf ™sn J5 th|
Horticultural or Speckled Cranberry type which has been grown for a number of years in certain locali- ties in the vicinity of Boston.

Originated in England. Is one of the largest and most useful of the
Mangels, roots often weighing forty pounds and over. Our seed is all grown by the originator.
Golden Tankard. The flesh is firm and solid, and a rich, golden yellow color. It combines appar- ently all the fine points possible to condense into a Mangel. Profitable for the dairy farmer.
MammnfTi I nncr Rpr] Mammoth Long
lviammom Long ivea Red Mangel has been
used in New England for many years, and its worth is still acknowledged by all who grow Man- gels. As its name implies, the roots are of enor- mous size, very regular in form, with exceedingly small tops. Skin is a bright dark red, the roots grow from one-half to two-thirds out of the ground, some- times to a length of two feet. The Mammoth Long Red will produce the largest tonnage to the acre.
Kniver’s Yellow Globe. Skin in tinted bright or- ange. Superb quality, enormous crop.
Red Globe. Different from the Yellow Globe only in color.
Danish Sludstrup
Denmark as the best of all Mangels, after having been awarded a first-class certificate offered by the Danish Government. It is of a distinct type, long, and of reddish-yellow color, very hardy, which grows well above the ground, and is easily har- vested. A variety which contains a very large percentage of nutriment.
Mammoth Golden Giant variety7 laarfd

Sow 6 to 8 lbs. per acre. Valuable both for pro- ducing sugar and stock feeding.
Vilmorin’s Improved White. Contains the high- est percentage of sugar ; also valuable for stock.
Lane’s Imperial. An improved variety ; very hardy and productive.
WV*ri7l#»h#»n This variety is cultivated ruein _ vv anziepen on a larger scale than
any other Sugar Beet. Root is conical, straight, and even large at top and rapidly tapering. Not as large as some of the other sorts but contains the largest percentage of saccharine matter.
Giant Half Long Rose A variety very
® similar in habit
and growth to the Giant Feeding Sugar Beet ex- cept in color. The color of the skin above the ground is bright rose and white below. The flesh is white, sometimes tinged rose. A sort which easily harvested, .as about half of the root is out of the ground.
Giant Half Long White This grand Su-
2 gar Beet, which
gives nearly as large a yield as a crop of Mangels, supplies a much higher nutritive food value. The yield under favorable conditions is more than any other Sugar Beet, compared with its highly nutri- tive value. The roots grow partly out of ground and on account of this, as well as their shape, the crops can be harvested and stored at a less ex- pense than most any other root crop.

CAULIFLOWER
(SBKumen
One ounce of seed produces about 2,000 plants.
Culture. — Cauliflowers require very high cul- tivation, even more so than Cabbage, and plenty of moisture. There is no more delicious vege- table grown. Coldframe plants are probably the best and hardiest for early crops; the frames, however need rather more protection during cold nights than is required for Cabbage plants. Seed sown in hotbeds in February will produce plants that are not inferior to coldframe plants. They should be transplanted once before setting in the open ground, and also should be gradually hard- ened by exposure; in this way they may be in condition to set out as early in April as the ground will permit. Set the early sorts about 2 feet by 15 inches, and cultivate the same as Cabbage. Where irrigation is practicable, great advantage is thus obtained during a drought. For late Cauliflower, sow seed in open ground from the middle of May to the middle of June, in hills the same as directed for late Cabbages. When the heads are forming, tie the leaves together at the top, thus avoiding the discolora- tion by exposure to the sun.

CARROTS (SKofjre)
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; three to four poutids required for acre.
Culture. — April is the time to sow for early use. Sow seed in drills twelve to fifteen inches apart, and thin out from three to four inches in drill, covering seed about one -half inch. For general crop sow in May same distance apart as above, but cover seed a little deeper, as sun is stronger. Perfect specimens require a fine, pulverized, deep soil.

CELERY
(@efterie)
Boston Market
One ounce will produce al)out 3,000 plants. One-half pound of seed sufficient to sow one acre.
Culture. — The proper time to sow is early in April, transplanting about the first of June. Set in rows 3 feet apart, and about 12 inches between plants in the row. Some gardeners trim off the tops a little, while the plants are small, to make them more stocky. Keep down all weeds, and, as Fall approaches, draw earth up to the plants, keeping the stalks well together. This earthing-up is con- tinued at intervals, until only the leaves appear above the soil. When well blanched is ready for use. For Winter use it is usually placed in frames and covered with earth and litter or stored in cool cellars. Comparatively few soils are suited to Celery culture. Rich, mellow soils of a sandy nature are best, while soils that settle, and become hard after rain are unsuitable. The seed, being very small, should be covered very lightly.
(Grown in Arlington). It is superior in quality to all other varieties, and is very popular wit]h the market gardeners. It is unexcelled for its tender, crisp and succulent stems and its peculiarly mild flavor. Forms a cluster of heads instead of a large single one. To blanch, earth up about six weeks.

In the vicinity of Boston it is the main early Celery raised by market gardeners. This seed is one year old and tested as to its purity.

Mushroom Spawn (<^atn$>ignon Brut) spawn
Culture.— -Mushrooms may be grown in any place where the conditions of temperature and moisture are favorable. The most essential factor, perhaps, is that of temperature. The proper temperature ranges from 53 degrees to 60 degrees F., with the best from 55 to 58 degrees F. It is unsafe to attempt to grow mushrooms at a temperature much less than 50 degrees or greater than 63 degrees F. Any severe changes of temperature retard growth or else act injuriously.
Fresh manure should be obtained and this should include the litter used for bedding the animals. It is a great mistake to use manure free from straw. Again stable manure which has been well trampled is nearly always well preserved, and is frequently much richer than any other kind.
After the beds are prepared the temperature should be and usually will be, too high for spawning. After a sudden rise the temperature should gradually fall during the course of a week or more to about 70 degrees or 75 degrees F. At this temperature spawning may take place, but under absolutely no cir- cumstances should a bed be spawned at a temperature greater than 80 degrees F. The bricks are broken into pieces about two inches square, or into from ten to twelve pieces per brick. These pieces are in- serted from one to two inches below the surface, about ten inches to one foot apart, and the bed is then compressed into final shape. If they dry out rapidly and some water is necessary, it should be given as a surface spraying, for water in quantity applied to young spawn will almost invariably cause the latter to damp off.
Lambert’s Pure Culture Spawn. Produced under the new, selective method, is received absolutely fresh at frequent intervals from the manufacturer. This spawn ‘will produce ’mushrooms, of a specific variety, selected with special reference to their size, color and prolificness, to the exclusion of other and inferior fungi. It absolutely eliminates all danger of raising poisonous mushrooms. We keep on hand the cream white, brown and pure white varieties. Each brick weighs from 1 % to 1 1-3 lbs., and will spawn ten square feet of beds. Standard bricks are inoculated from a pure culture transfer.
Per Standard brick 30c., postpaid 35c., 5 bricks by express $1.50, 10 bricks $2.75, 20 bricks $5.00, 50 bricks $11.00, 120 bricks $20.00.

ONION (Qttriebeln)
An ounce will sow 100 feet of drill. Four to five pounds to the acre.
Culture. — Select a clean, rich piece of land upon which Onions were grown the previous year, if pos- sible. Scatter broadcast a heavy dressing of well rotted manure, and plough six or seven inches deep as early in the Spring as the ground can be worked; harrow and rake down to a fine even surface. Sow about four pounds o>f seed per acre, in drills a foot apart, and a quarter of an inch deep. If a seed-drill is used, it should be provided with a good roller to press the earth firmly upon the seed, particularly if the soil is very dry. Sow as early as possible. A few days’ delay often makes a marked difference in the crop. Unless the plants stand very thick together, they need not be thinned .out much, if any, as Onions will crowd each other and find room to grow. Never allow the weeds to get ahead of the young plants. The weeds must receive early attention. Use a scuffle or wheel-hoe between the rows and pull out the weeds not reached by the hoe. When the tops are all down, and the Onions well formed, they may be pulled, and left on the ground for a fortnight or longer to dry (unless the weather be unfavorable), turning them occasionally with a wooden rake.
The preceding page represents samples of the bulbs of our Danvers Yellow Globe Onion as grown by us. Below is a field of Danvers Yellow Globe Onion as growing for seed here in New England. We make a specialty of home grown Onion seed. It is where we can inspect the selections of bulbs before planting as well as the crop maturing; you will see our Mr. Fiske shown in the field at the time of inspection of crop of seed. The seed costs a little more but it is worth the cost.
Yellow Prizetaker. Excellent keeper, enor-
mous size. Usually a rich
straw color, averaging from twelve to fourteen inches in circumference. It is the large yellow Onion that is offered for sale at our fruit stores and large stores in the Fall. They ripen up hard and fine ; flesh is pure white, fine grained, mild, delicate flavor ; excellent for Fall or early Winter use.
Pkt. 15c., oz. 65c. % lb. $2.25.
AILSA CRAIG. The largest Onion grown. This is An English variety and is quite popular with the English gardeners. It resembles the American variety of Prizetaker but will grow much larger and more globular in form. The skin is an attractive straw color ; flesh is mild ; will keep remarkably well for such a large bulb. In order to produce the largest and best Onion the seed should be sown in a hotbeu early in the Spring, and transplanted when of suffi- cient size. They will prove valuable for those who grow them for exhibition purposes, as they are most attractive and showy.

POTATOES
POTATOES
(®artoffel)
Eight to ten bushels , or three to four barrels sufficient for one acre. One peck will plant 75 hills . Potatoes sent by express or freight, purchaser paying transit.
Our seed Potatoes are strictly Maine grown. Spe- cial price on large quantities.
Culture. — Any good soil will produce Potatoes, but quality is much improved when produced on good sandy loam. Make furrows of good depth, three feet apart, scatter a liberal dressing of fertilizer in the drill. Cover slightly with earth and upon this set the seed Potatoes in hills one and one-half feet apart. If a very early crop is desired, it will be necessary to sprout the Potatoes before planting. Cut the Po- tatoes in pieces of the size desired and place in a warm light room for four days before required for planting in the open ground.
Use Bordeaux mixture for blight and arsenate of lead for the Colorado beetle, or if, as is often the case, both these conditions prevail, use the two in combination. We recommend Pyrox (Bowker’s) for this purpose knowing it to be effective, and we be- lieve it will also increase the crop and improve the quality.
Crops being uncertain at time of catalogue going to press, we are unable to make definite price. Quotations made when stock is ready for delivery.

Rhubarb (*$o&ar6«)
Culture. — This plant is mostly propagated by division of the roots. The best time to set out the plants is early in the Spring, although it is sometimes done in Autumn. Make furrows of good depth, 3 to 4 feet apart, according to the variety planted; across these furrows, at right angles, make others the same distance apart; at each intersection put three or four shovelfuls of good manure, and upon this set the plants. Any good soil will suit Rhubarb; but to obtain heavy crops, good soil well manured is indispensable. A piece of root with a single bud. or eye, is enough for each hill. Cultivate during Summer, but do not pull any stalks the first year. Late in Autumn cover each plant with a good shovelful of manure, and plough a furrow against each side of the rows; this protection will assist the earliness of* the crop. In early Spring level the ground, working in the manure with a fork. Plants can be obtained from seed, which may be sown in a hotbed in March, and the plants set out about the middle of May. It takes longer, however, to obtain a crop] from seedling plants than from roots.

Spinach
One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill. Twelve to sixteen pounds unll soiv an acre.
Culture. — Spinach may be grown on any ordinary soil, and its cultivation is a very simple matter. It is grown both as a Spring and Summer crop. For early use, sow in August or September, in drills 12 to 14 inches apart. At the approach of cold weather cover lightly with straw, or any hardy litter. Un- cover when the plants begin to make a new growth in Spring. For Summer use, sow early in Spring, in the same way as above, using rather less seed. If the plants stand too thick, thin to 3 or 4 inches apart. A liberal dressing of good manure should be used. The land can hardly be made too rich.
All ^pacnn A superb variety for planting in jcasuii. rotation all Summer long. It does not send up its flower stems and bear seed the same as the early varieties which are easily af- fected by hot weather. While most sorts of Spin- ach are usually grown for Fall and Spring crops, this excellent variety may be used through the Sum- mer months with satisfactory results The leaves are thick and tender, and quite crumpled.

TOMATO
(SieBe^Styfel)
Ine ounce will produce about 2,000 plants.
Culture. — Of Tomatoes the varieties are nu- merous, some of them being very distinctive. However, there are many sorts of the large red varieties annually introduced and represented as being superior to all others which, as a rule, do not show variation enough to be classed as dis- tinct varieties. The seed may be sown in hot- beds, with good bottom heat, in February or March; and when the plants are two or three inches high, transplant into other frames about four or five inches apart each way, or boxes or single pots which are to remain in the frames. Set the plants out in open ground, not earlier than the last week in May or first week in June. Being very tender they will not bear the least frost. Choose a light, sandy, or gravelly loam, in a well-sheltered situation, and with a southern exposure if possible, as early fruit is desirable. In such a location the plants may be set about four feet apart each way, using a large shovelful of well-rotted manure in each hill. On rich soils but little, if any, manure is necessary; and the plants will need to stand about six feet apart each way.

Qt. 25c., 4 qts. 75c., pk. $1.25.
Longfellow. Very largely grown in New England; is eight-rowed, yellow kernel and good size. Cob is quite small and ears are from 10 to 15 in. long. Ripens ex- cellently in Massachusetts.
Qt. 25c., 4 qts. 75c., pk. $1.25.
Sanford. It is early, ears large with a small cob, kernel white. Very prolific and excellent quality. In some sections grown largely for ensilage Corn on account of its foliage. Qt. 25c., 4 qts. 75c., pk. $1.25.
Stickney’s. The Prize Winner Strain. On a measured field of nine acres, the harvest was 819% bushels, an average of over 91 bushels per acre. The ear is much thicker than the Longfellow, cob is small, usually eight rows of kernels, although sometimes it has 12 rows. The stalks grow about as high as the Longfellow, but the crop matures earlier. We believe it to be one of the largest yielding varieties of Flint Corn.

SWEET CORN FOR FODDER
Stowell’s Evergreen. (For fodder.) A Sweet Com too well known to need any description.
Pk. $1.50., bus. $5.00.
Sugar Corn for Green Fodder. We find many of our farmers favor this for ensilage purposes owing to the large percentage of saccharine matter in the stalks. To cut up and use for Corn fodder in the Fall there is nothing better. This is especially grown for fodder purposes, being of thick growth and early maturity. Usually sown in drills for early Summer and Fall Corn at the rate of two bushels per acre in drills 4 ft. apart.
Pk. $1.00, bus. $3.50, sack (2 bus.) $6.50.
DENT VARIETIES
In many localities in New England the Dent varieties have been grown very successfully. It is a fact that the yield is practically double that of the Flint varieties. We would recommend a part of your plantings of Field Corn to be of the Dent varieties.
Brewer’s Yellow Dent. As this Com is strictly a New England variety, all the seed having been grown and ripened in New England, we have no hesitancy in recom- mending the Brewer’s Dent, for it has overcome all of the difficulties of ripening this Corn here in New Eng- land. This Corn was awarded First Grand Champion Prize at the Corn exhibit in Omaha; the yield from a measured acre was 133% bushels of shelled corn and a large amount of fodder. One can readily see that this would be a most desirable crop for ensilage as well as for the Corn. Qt. 25c., 4 qts. 75c., pk. $1.00, bus. $4.00. Early Mastodon. It grows strong, rank, quick, and makes the finest appearance of shelled corn of all the varieties of Dent. It is purely a Dent Corn, of two shades, white and yellow; it has the largest ears and the largest corn of any of the early Dent Corns. It will ripen its seed in Massachusetts.
Qt. 25c., 4 qts. 60c., pk. $1.00. Eureka Ensilage. The tallest and best ensilage Corn; produces more valuable material for the silo than any other, and is also very productive of ears.. Eureka is a choice selection of Southern Corn, and in its native lati- tude has shelled out 100 bushels to an acre. For ensilage its value is due to its enormous growth and great pro- duction of leaves and ears ; the main purpose of a silo is to preseme the largest possible quantity of fresh green foliage and ears that can be obtained from the smallest area. The Eureka will absolutely do this, and has proven it to a great many farmers.
Qt. 25c., 4 qts. 60c., pk. $1.00, bus. $3.00. Learning Improved. One of the most popular and pro- ductive varieties, as the stalks grow very tall and pro- duce, as a rule, two good ears on each stalk. The ears are long, with small, red cobs, well filled with corn of medium size and rich golden color. It will ripen in from 100 to 110 days, and makes a good crop even in a dry season. On account of its being very strong and vigorous, the stalks are very leafy, making an excellent fodder; the kernels are so deep that it makes an extra large yielder. In this vicinity we recommend this Corn more than any other variety for ensilage.
Qt. 25c., 4 qts. 60c., pk. $1.00. Red Cob Ensilage. A very strong grower, highly recom- mended for ensilage; yields enormous crops.
Crop failure.
Virginia Mammoth White. There is a great variety of white Corns from the South sold under various names. Our stock is produced in Virginia and we have had ex- cellent satisfaction with this variety. It grows large, plenty of foliage, excellent for either fodder or ensilage.

The root growth is very extensive and makes a quan- tity of nitrogen tubercles. The Vetches can be sown from July to November and should be sown broadcast at the rate of from twenty to thirty pounds to the acre, and one bushel of Oats or Rye, as the Rye assists in holding the Vetches off the ground, makes a better growth and can be harvested earlier. If sown alone thirty to forty pounds per acre should be used.

CLOVES

ALFALFA ( Medicago sativa) . Alfalfa is the main- stay of the cattle farmer, particularly of the dairy- man. It is grown successfully in almost every sec- tion of the United States and Canada. Alfalfa re- quires a deep, fertile, well-drained soil, rich in lime and free from weeds. The lack of any one of these may be the cause of failure, especially in the South- ern or Eastern States. . Well-rotted barnyard manure is a suitable fertilizer. Do not use fresh manure as it produces too many weeds. The young plants of Alfalfa are very tender and if weeds are plentiful they will kill out the Alfalfa. In sowing Al- falfa special care should be taken in preparing the soil. Land should be ploughed deep, harrowed and brushed and allowed to settle for some time before sowing. In the South and East Alfalfa succeeds best if planted in late Summer, and should be sown as far in advance of what promises to be the most trying time for seedlings. Seed should be covered from three-quarters of an inch to one inch deep. Inoculation is one of the most favorable methods of securing a stand of Alfalfa, especially in the Eastern States, where the soil conditions are less favorable of the growth of bacteria. (We recom- mend the use of “Farmogerm” for this inoculation. See page 159.) Quantity of seed required for one acre, 20 to 25 lbs. Lb. 30c., 100 lbs. $23.00.
ALSYKE ( Trifolium hybridum). Especially valu- able for hay when grown alone, or with other grasses, and with Red or Mammoth Clover. A very hardy sort and can be sown very early in the Spring ; the seed being small should not be covered very deep. It is not as likely to Winter-kill as Red Clover on account of its fibrous roots, and is being used in some places where Red Clover cannot be success fully grown. Alsyke succeeds best on moist soils which are usually too low in humus for Red Clover to grow advantageously. The effect of Alsyke on the soil is similar to that of Red Clover. Alsyke, when sown alone, should have a nurse crop added; well suited for grass seed mixtures, being a peren- nial, and for its hardiness. Alsyke hay is slightly richer than the ordinary Clover and is more hardy than Red or Mammoth Clover. To seed an acre use 15 pounds. Lb. 35c.. 100 lbs. $30.00.
CRIMSON CLOVER ( Trifolium incarnatum). Crimson Clover has a high feeding and fertilizing value, and is one of the best crops for forage and soil renovating. Its uses are many, such as for hay, pasturage, silage, green manure and soil cover to prevent leaching and washing. Crimson Clover may be harvested the same as Red Clover, and should be cut for hay at or before full bloom. The best results are obtained from seed sown during Jul^ and August, and thrives best on rich sandy loams, but gives good results on clay and light soils. Crimson Clover is not hardy and will not stand the Winters north of New Jersey and is used mostly as a Summer cover crop. Q.uantitv of seed required for one acre, 20 pounds. Lb.32c, 100 lbs. $26.00.
MAMMOTH' CLOVER. A species of Red Clover commonly known as Sapling Clover, Pea Vine Clover, Bull Clover and Perennial Clover. It ma- tures about two weeks later than ordinary Red Clover, and is the preferable Clover for the northern part of the Northern States. Mammoth Clover and Timothy are useful for seeding together on ac- count of their blooming at the same time, and for the increased weight per acre over the ordinary Red Clover. Mammoth Clover blooming as late as it does has an advantage over the Red on account of the insect pests which injure the. early flowering Clovers, and when used on poor soils produces bet- ter results than either Red or Alsyke Clover. When grown for hay cutting should take place when in early bloom before the stems become woody. Seed required for one acre 15 pounds.

CLOVER SEED-Continued
RED CLOVER (Trifolium pratense). One of the best crops for hay and pasture; it is also used sometimes for a soil crop, and is also valuable when used for hay in maintaining a supply of nitrogen in the soil. Red Clover will not succeed on poorly drained or boggy soil, but will produce good re- sults on any soil that will grow Corn.. Soils containing lime or where lime can be supplied are ideal soils for Red | Clover. This variety of Clover may be seeded in the early Spring or in the Fall. If seeded in the Spring, the best time for sowing is when the ground is freezing and thawing and in the Autumn about six weeks before frost. The best results to be obtained for hay, is to cut when just past full bloom, containing at this time the maximum of protein and dry matter. Quantity required to seed one acre, 15 lbs.
Lb. 40c., 100 lbs. Price on application.
WHITE CLOVER (Trifolium repens). Sometimes called Lawn Clover and will succeed almost anywhere in the United States, and on almost any character of soil, but a heavy soil is best suited fpr it. White Clover may be sown at the same time as -Red Clover; it is rarely sown alone, but usually used in lawn mixtures and for pasture. A small proportion of this small clover, if used in permanent pasture, often fills in bare spots and makes valuable grazing for stock. It is often affected by extreme dry weather and will appear as if killed, but on the return of the rains will re- appear as fresh as ever. 8 to 10 lbs. usually sown to the acre. lb. 25c., K lb. 40c., lb. 60c., ,
100 lbs. Price on application.
SWEET CLOVER (Melilotus albus). A native of all parts of the United States and Canada and is a valuable addition to farm crops in many sections. Sweet Clover will thrive on most soils, either poor clay or sandy, but it prefers a limestone soil. Where lime is deficiei t, it should be added, and good results will be attained. White Clover, like the other varieties, will respond to inoculation with excellent results. White Clover will succeed best if planted alone, and should be sown either in the Spring or Fall. It is the most vigorous soil enricher of all the Clovers, and will grow on soils that will not support an ordinary farm crop. Quan- tity usually sown to the acre, 30 lbs. To eradicate Sweet Clover, mow it when in full bloom, that it may not re-seed itself. Lb. 35c., 100 lbs. Price on application.

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS (Poa pratensis). A very widely distributed species, and without a rival as a pasture grass. Being of perennial habit, it will, when es- tablished, last indefinitely. One of the finest varieties of grasses for use in lawns, owing to the thick growth of sod. Blooming as it does the latter part of May, it can be harvested about June 1st, and is one of the easiest grasses to cure. Seed may be sown in the early Spring or during September. An excellent variety for turfing terraces and embankments. When sown alone, 30 to 40 lbs. required for one acre.
Lb. 35c., 100 lbs. $28.00.
LIME GRASS (Elymus arenarius). Valuable on sandy seashore and railroad banks, etc. It tends with its tough, wide-spreading and thickly matting roots to prevent the drifting of the sand. Crop uncertain.

Lb. 50c., 100 lbs. $45.00.
RED TOP (Agrostis vulgaris). A highly recommended grass for permanent pasture and as meadow grass for hay. Red Top is especially valuable for sour and acid soils, swampy and meadow lands which are liable to overflow, and those that are not rich enough for Timothy or Clover; it does not thrive on sandy or leachy soils, but will adapt itself to a wider range of soils than any other grass. To obtain the best re- sults from Red Top, it should be harvested when in full bloom. It may be sown alone or with Timothy an<^ Clover; these additions increase the quantity and quality of the hay. Red Top maKes one of the best grasses for lawn use, either sown alone or in connection with White Clover, or in a mixture with other grasses.

Lb. 40c., 100 lbs. $35.00.
TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS (Avena elatior). Most valuable for pastures on account of its early and luxuriant growth. Withstands extreme drought and heat or cold. 50 lbs. to the acre. Lb. 45c., 100 lbs. $40.00.
TIMOTHY, or HERD Grass (Phleum Pratense). The standard hay of commerce. The excellent quality of the hay and the ease of culture make it valuable. It is adapted to most soils, but succeeds best on moist loam and clay, and crops are subject to soil and climate. The most profitable crops are obtained the first and second seasons. Timothy should be cut after the seed has formed and in full milk and at least 4 in. above ground. Timothy sown alone requires about 20 lbs. per acre; when sown with Red Clover use 15 lbs. Timothy and 5 lbs. Red Clover. It may also be sown with Wheat, Oats or Barley. Prices fluctuate. Market price, from $4.50 to $5.50 per bus.
VARIOUS -LEAVED FESCUE (Festuca heterophylla) . Grows naturally in open woodlands or along their borders. It makes its best growth on low-lying lands not too dry. Sow 40 lbs. to the acre. Lb. 40c.. 10 lbs. $3.50
WATER MEADOW GRASS (Poa aquatica). For wet situations this is very useful, growing well in marshes or on margins of lakes, streams, etc. Crop uncertain.
WOOD MEADOW GRASS (Poa memorafis). Excellent for shaded positions in lawns and woodland parks. Very hardy, resisting extremes of heat and cold. 30 lbs. to the acre. Crop uncertain.
GRASS MIXTURES FOR PERMANENT MOWING OR PASTURE LANDS
The object to be attained is a continual growth of rich pasturage from Spring to Fall. The fact that soil sown with a variety of different grasses that are adapted to the soil, and which attain perfection at alternate months from April to October, has been proven by continued experiments. It will produce much larger and more satisfactory crops, both for hay and pasturage, than when only one or two kinds of grasses are sown. If seed is sown in Spring it should be done early, whole the land is cool.
Clover seed is much heavier than grass seed and settles at the bottom when they are mixed together, with the result that the sowiog is uneven. We recommend sowing in the Spring 10 lbs. mixed clover seed per acre.

SHADY SPOT LAWN SEED
For sowing on the north side of buildings, between houses, and for securing a lawn
under large shade trees.
In many lawns there are places which seem as if nothing can be grown; some are shaded by large trees and others by buildings. For these locations we have offered for some time our Shady Spot Lawn Seed, which readily meets the desired requirement.
It is always advisable for those who are seeding down the shady places to supply new soil, if possible, especially if the large trees are producing the shade, as their roots spread so fast and exhaust the nourishment in the soil. In the event of not being able to supply new soil, the ground should be well dug over, and if tree roots predomi- nate, these should be taken out.
In most places where grass seed is to be sown, when shaded by buildings, the soil will have a tendency to sour, and in such cases we strongly recommend the use of slaked lime (about 50 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.).
This special mixture for shady locations is selected from the best grasses possible to obtain for this purpose, and only those that will grow and flourish under shady conditions are used.
The ordinary lawn grass might grow for a short time, but as a general rule it will not last but one or two seasons, and then make a poor showing.
Shady Spot Lawn Seed if sown in these places will undoubtedly grow and produce the best satisfaction.

The grasses used in making this special mixture are those only well adapted for growing in the shade, which in their natural and wild state grow and mature under these conditions.

We especially recommend this mixture to those who are particular to obtain the very best. Twentv-five lbs. will seed a putting green 75 feet square.

SPECIAL MIXTURES MADE FOR SPECIAL LOCATIONS
We have many inquiries from customers who have made experiments of their own, and have found that certain varieties of grass will do better than others on their land. We are well aware that we cannot make one mixture that will do for all lands, and are pleased to have our customers consult with us regarding varieties suitable for their particular land, or if they have certain varieties to include in their mixture we are only too pleased to serve them in this way, for we have, on pages 56-57, a very complete list of fancy varieties that we always carry a large stock of, and will put up any mixture desired. We have facilities for executing all such orders promptly.

Suburban Wild Garden Mixture
Our mixture of seeds for the Wild Garden has gained great favor, and has proved a marked success with a great many of the amateur and professional gardeners by its particularly pleasing varieties, blooming so continuously through- out the Summer, and is comprised of such varieties as will produce a most brilliant contrast of colors. To those who have usually planned for fancy and decorative flower gardens and carefully planned borders, and who know the volume of time and labor required, to have the best possible effect produced, we feel justified in recommending for use the “Suburban Wild Garden Mixture’’; also to those who cannot give the required attention.
The beautiful results obtained from^this mixture, and the little amount of time and labor required in the sowing of same, make this Suburban Wild Garden one of the most desirable and at the same time least expensive flower gardens.
This mixture is especially adapted for waste places, or rather corners and extra patches where weeds seem to predomi- nate and nothing of value seems to find a place, and where the soil is moderately rich.
Suburban Wild Garden Mixture is composed of the best flowering annuals which are both for cut flower use and bedding effects and contains at least over two hundred varieties.
One of the pleasing features of this mixture is the fact that as the season advances, something different seems to come to bloom; something not looked foi, indicating some later variety.

FLOWER SEED ANTIRRHINUM
ANTIRRHINUM
(Snapdragon)
Half-hardy perennial treated as an annual. One of the finest flowers for cutting in existence, bearing long spikes of gorgeously colored flowers. It is also grown ex- tensively under glass in the Winter. Seed sown in the house or hotbed and during February or March will flower in July and continue until frost.
Plants, see page 155.
NEW DOUBLE FLOWERING
This new Snapdragon is something entirely out of the ordinary, as may be seen in the accompanying illustration.
The abnormal petals which are seen emerging from the mouth-like aperture in the flowers between the upper and lower lips give a double and beard-like effect to the ex- ceedingly large flower.
In about seventy per cent, of the seedlings this phenome- non is more or less in evidence, the remainder producing extra-sized and perfect flowers, as may be found in the other Grandiflorum varieties.

TRIUMPH COMET
A splendid new class of midseason Asters, bearing . full, double flowers of the choicest type, with center showing spiral effect. The blooms are large and fluffy, borne on long, straight stems. The flowering season of the Triumph Comet type is between the extra early sorts and the branching varieties. Plants grow fairly tall, and have an upright habit.
The Aster Triumph Comet has better qualities than the heretofore offered Upright Comet, both in size and growth of plant, stem and perfection of bloom.
Aster Triumph Comet is similar to the Astermum but more satisfactory on account of its size, length of stems, and more full and
double. Pkfc.

ROCHESTER LAVENDER PINK
The flowers of this new color are more double; while this sort is an exceedingly fine shade of lavender pink, the blooms have the great size of those of the branching plant without any trace of a center.
Plants are very strong in growth, with stiff, erect stems. It is about one week earlier than the original or branch- ing type of Rochester.
Pkt. 15c.
A variety very similar in color to the well- known Semple’s Pink, with which almost every Aster grower is well acquainted. The flower is better and more substantial, and of deeper color, which is retained while most of the other varieties of the same shade have a tendency to fade. The plants are of larger and stronger type, and of true branching habit.
It is particularly valuable in producing exquisite flowers when the others are de- preciating. The bloofns are very double, and the stems of unusual length.
Pkt. 25c., two pkts. 40c.
ASTER
WHITE PERFECTION
One of the finest white Asters for Mid- summer cultivation. The plants are ex- tremely strong growing, producing from ten to twelve large flowers, usually measuring 4 inches in diameter, and of a fine form.
The flower, when first opened, is strongly whorled, the petals being broad and some- what folded lengthwise, usually making them appear narrow; the outer rows are straight, while the center still retains the whorled effect.

Cardinal Climber
STRONG AND RAPID ANNUAL CLIMBER
A very strong and rapid climber, usually attaining a height of 20 feet to 30 feet. This annual climber is a beautiful and brilliant vine, with Dro-like laciniated foliage, covered with an immense quantity of cardinal red flowers, blooming from early Summer to late Fall.
The individual blooms, usually 1 to 1^2 inches across, are produced in clusters of five to seven each.
The Cardinal Climber belongs to the Morning Glory class, and is the result of crossing Ipomcea quamoclit and Ipomcea coccinea.
It is not unlike Ipomceas as to habits, for it delights in sunny location and a good soil. Best results are obtained from seed sown outdoors after weather becomes favorable. Germination may be hastened by cutting or filing a hole in the outer shell, or soaking in warm water until they begin to swell.
Seed may also be sown early in greenhouse and small plants trans- planted after danger from frost is past.

CELOSIA CHILDSII
Without doubt this new Celosia is the most magnificent garden annual yet introduced. Its ease of culture and long continued blooming season, (July until frost), together with its massive bunches of wool-like flowers and glowing color, combine to make it the most odd as well as the showiest novelty for the general flower garden.
Plants grow about three feet high, the bloom starting early with a globular central head of immense size, while numerous branches are sent out, each bearing a ball of scarlet wool, while each branch produces many laterals which also develop excellent heads of bloom that last until killed by frost and expand with a deepening richness of color to a deep crimson scarlet.
Seed may be sown in open, after danger from frost, or sown in pots; may be transplanted when ground is ready.

(Perennial Larkspur)
One of the finest perennials in use at present time; very easily grown and re- quiring no protection in Winter. Leaves are curiously cut; flowers borne on long, erect stems forming into spikes 2 feet in length. It is quite safe to state that no perennial bed or border is complete without them. Seeds sown in greenhouse in Febru- ary will produce plants which should bloom the following Summer.
Plants for first season’s flowering can be obtained, see page 161.

Beautiful Deep Blue
A particularly fine new addition to the already well known Delphiniums. The flowers are quite double and of extra size, showing a beautiful deep blue color, with white center, producing an excellent con- trast. We have had the plants of this ex- cellent variety growing, and they have been greatly admired by all who have seen them. The flowers have been very shy in producing seed, but during the past season we have been quite successful in securing a stock of seed.
A large percentage of seed comes true, while the balance will undoubtedly produce some very choice hybrids.

Lavatera Splendens
SUNSET
The Lavatera is one of the best of the beau- tiful varieties of Mallow, and is of particu- larly easy culture. Lavatera should be more generally grown both for its graceful habits and its excellent cutting qualities. This new variety which adds another distinct color to the varieties now used, has proved very satis- factory.
The color is a very deep rose pink of charming brightness. The habit of the plant is greatly improved, being more compact and attaining a height of 2% feet.
Very effective when used as cut flowers, and is especially valuable on account of its lasting qualities. It is also greatly admired as a bedding plant. Fkt. 20c.

Lobelia, HYBRIDA SAPPHIRE
The increasing demand for new varieties of plants that will succeed ■well in window and piazza boxes, and which are useful as trailers for hanging baskets and vases, must naturally at- tract attention to such useful and ornamenal species as the Lobelia.
The accompanying illustration represents a new and novel addition to the interesting family.
The blossoms of the Lobelia Sapphire are of extra size, usu- ally measuring % inch across, and are very thickly set on the long, graceful sprays of foliage; these sprays often attain a length of two feet. The flower in color is of a deep sapphire blue (from whence it derives its name) and in addition the large and well defined white eye, which occupies about one- third of the corolla, makes a very pleasing contrast and is quite effective.
The seed, if sown in September, should commence to bloom about April in the greenhouse, and if sown during January the plants should flower during the latter part of May or June and continue till late Autumn. Fkt. 25c.

“ EXCELSIOR ”
Choicest Hybrids
The Oriental Poppies are always welcome in any perennial bed, or even when grown by themselves. They are probably one of the easiest perennials to grow from seed, and the few fine varieties under cultivation at present all tend to dark shades.
In this choice strain of new hybrids, a great many new shades and colors are represented and are char- acterized in many of the delicate shades of pink and salmon to deep crimson. These hybrids have been selected from the choicest sorts obtainable from seed.

New White Oriental Poppy
Pure Satiny White, Crimson Blotch
Quite a new addition to the ordinary shades usually found in Oriental Poppies. Offered for the first time in 1916 and a variety very readily accepted. It is the most distinct “break” recently made in this valuable hardy Poppy. The color is a pure satiny white with a bold crimson blotch at the base of each petal.
As most hybrids are liable to vary somewhat, this one is perhaps no exception and though it may have a tendency to do so, the greater portion may be ex- pected to come true.

H.OWEB SEED SWEET PEAS
Sweet Peas
Culture. — Ordinary good garden soil is suitable for Sweet Peas. The ground should be well drained to avoid water lying too long and becoming sour.
Soil prepared as for vegetables produces fair results, but a little more care will repay the planter. It is well to cultivate and prepare the ground in the Fall, supplying at this time a good amount of stable manure and bone meal.
Select for a location in your garden a place open and airy and which receives the sun all day.
Seed should be sown in trenches about 4 inches deep and covered to a depth of 2 inches, still allowing the cen- ter of the trench to remain at least 2 inches below the level of the ground, that water may be retained.
In case of dry weather, constant watering is necessary to keep the roots cool.
When the vines are up about 6 inches high, staking with brush or trellis should be attended to at once. One ounce of seed is sufficient to plant 20 feet of drill.

FLOWER S RED ZINNIA

GIANT ZINNIAS
One of the most popular and most exten- sively used of all our hardy annuals. The following list comprises a very choice strain of large variety and of the most brilliant colors. Requires but little attention; will grow in any good garden soil. If sown in gentle heat in March, will flower latter part of June and continue until killed by frost. Plants, see page 157.
Grandiflora Robusta Plenissima
(Giant Zinnia)
This mammoth strain has produced ex- cellent results to hundreds of customers who have grown it with great success.
The plants are of exceedingly robust habit.
The flowers are borne on long, stiff stalks, of a semi-globular form, are mostly very double, and, together with their immense size, produce a very marked effect.
The flowers, as the illustration will indicate, measure from five to six inches across, this being by no means unusual. Zinnias being a very popular flower for bedding and old- fashioned gardens, and also of special value for cutting purposes, these new colors can- not but make a valued addition to our al- ready standard varieties.

Amaryllis
The Amaryllis, one of the most beautiful of our tender or greenhouse bulbs, is greatly admired though little grown. Bulbs should be potted in the Autumn as soon as possible, and allowed to root slowly. Their flower scape usually appears about February, after which the foliage commences to show. They should be kept growing until August or September and then allowed to rest until flowering time. Do not disturb the roots if repotting is needed.

Begonias are indispensable for shady places, and every garden possesses one or more shady spots. May be planted out of doors latter part of May. Started in the house dur- ing March and April, the first flowers will appear in June and increase with the season, the plants attaining their height of perfection just before frost sets in. Keep con- stantly moist.
We have established a reputation on the quality of our Begonias. The size and quality of the bulbs we ship should be sufficient guarantee of their superiority in quality.
Culture. — The tubers may be started in February or March. The soil should be light, containing plenty of leaf mould and sand. In planting, care should be taken to set the crown of the tuber, which is usually somewhat de- pressed, upward. The tubers should be covered half an inch with light soil and watered sparingly until they start, after which more water may be given. The temperature should be 60 to 70 degrees. The started plants, when in- tended for bedding purposes, may be transferred to the beds in the open ground early in June, by which time they should be in bloom. The plants should be set 10 or 12 inches apart.
Although there is much to be gained by starting the tubers early as just described, they may be planted un- started in the open ground beds in the last week of May or later, wdth excellent results.

Tuberose
Mexican Everblooming Single
By Parcel Post add postage at Zone rates (see page 1).
Weight 1 lb. per doz., 8 lbs. per 100.
The most free-blooming Tuberose in existence. It is a native of the table-land district of Mexico. Each bulb produces only one flower spike; but the peculiar feature is the making of new bulbs, as the original one is blooming, which flower as soon as the old bulb has finished, thereby yielding a suc- cession of bloom throughout the season.
These bulbs may be planted out as early as the first of May and as late as the middle of June, and flowering in about eight weeks’ time, they continue until after the first frost. The flower stalk is tall and stiff, usually bearing from six to twenty pure white blooms, having the same delightful odor as the regular double variety. The stalks when cut will last for a great length of time in water and the flowers wall also increase in size.
This Mexican Everblooming Tuberose is easily grown in the house or greenhouse and makes one of the best and most useful varieties for forcing.
Each 6c., doz. 60c., 100 $4.75.

Our Specialty !
In the following list of varieties we offer only those which we have grown with satisfactory results.
We devote a large piece of ground to the trials of new varieties and those which we catalogue; and during the flowering period we have on exhibi- tion, in our show windows, cut blooms to which we invite the attention of the public, making an excellent oppor- tunity for them to select the colors and varieties most desirable.
It is needless to say that Gladioli at the present time produce some of the finest colors and most exquisite shades; especially beautiful are the delicate contrasts of the outer segments and the deep veining and heavily colored blotches of the throat, thus making the Gladiolus one of the most attractive Summer-flowering bulbs. We advise the planting of Gladioli during May and June, and should successive plantings be made, flowers may be had until October.
Gladioli thrive in almost any good garden soil; but if well prepared, by adding stable manure, better results may be obtained.
Exposure to the sun is necessary at all times. Bulbs may be planted in rows either single or double, leaving about four inches between bulbs in drills two feet apart; plant the bulbs four inches deep.
When mass effect is desired, bulbs should be planted from six to eight inches apart and four inches deep; this applies to planting in beds, bor- ders and among shrubbery.

Rosalie. The most free-flowering Gladiolus.
* Color a pleasing light red, veined lighter or rosy; similar in shape to Brench- leyensis. A particular feature of this variety is its lateness in blooming, the flowers appear- ing to the end of September, when other varie- ties have finished blossoming. This variety is very free, bearing as a rule four to five strong stalks from one bulb. The spikes are strong and erect and combined with its free-flowering habit, it can be recommended highly for mas- sing effects. The growth is strong and the healthy light green foliage quite attractive. This new variety multiplies very readily by division; usually three to five bulbs produced in a cluster from one season’s growth.

Strong bulbs usually produce from two to three stalks, each throwing a side branch, which greatly extends the flowering period. The brownish blotch is very deeply set in the throat, hardly making any appearance unless each individual flower is examined. Strong bulbs. Each 20c., doz. $2.00, 100 $15.00.

New Dwarf Garden Cactus Dahlias
This new race of Dahlias differs from the regular type in habit and size, being dwarf and very compact. The plants branch freely from the bottom and never require staking; they grow as broad as they are high and form splendidly shaped plants. The flowers are either medium or small, but always of perfect form and appear in great profusion, while during the time of the general crop, the foliage is invisible, and for this fact they lend themselves admirably where grand effects in colors for gardens are de- sired. A fine class for use in landscape work.

Giant Single Dahlias
Measuring more than 3*4 inches in diameter.
This class is very similar to the Pseony-flowered type, differing only in the fact that the flowers are always composed of a single row of petals. Every variety is a free blooming sort and a beauty for the garden.
The larger flowered single Dahlias are rivals of the Pseony-flowered type and are equally satisfac- tory for garden and cutting. There is always grace in a single flower which is seldom found in a double or semi-double flower, and when it comes to free blooming qualities there is nothing that excels the single.

It is also a great help, especially when late delivery is required, that we reserve good plants for these shipments, while we fill all orders with our best stock as received. It is also important that we should have orders in our possession about J hree days before shipment is required, that we may readily take care of the orders already on hand and allow time for filling new orders. We ship plant orders as soon as possible; but there are obstacles that hinder us at times beyond our control.

RHODODENDRONS
In preparing a bed for Rhododendrons, locate it if possible, in a spot partially sheltered from intense heat in Summer and from the cutting winds in Winter. The latter can be artificially met by using evergreen boughs as a Winter covering. The best soil for Rhododendrons consists of sods, well rotted manure, sand and a large amount of leafmold, well mixed for retaining moisture to protect from Summer droughts. Heavy mulching or covering of beds in Summer is an excellent preventive, and, in dry weather the beds must be thoroughly soaked. Pinch off all seed pods after flowering, in order to get good buds for next season. In the Fall, mulch the beds a foot or more with leaves, these can be left to decay, it is advisable to water freely until the ground freezes.

INOCULATION LAWN SAND
186
Fottler, Fiske, jR.awson
Co.
Inoculate Your Alfalfa, Clover, Peas, Beans, Sweet Peas, Vetches and all other legume crops
WHAT BACTERIA INOCULATION IS
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria have been selected and bred up to transform large amounts of nitrogen from the air into soluble nitrates. These bacteria are grown in a jelly, or food, in which they remain active for long periods of time, and sent out in a bottle which admits the necessary supply of pure air, yet keeps out destructive contaminations. If Alfalfa can be grown on hot, sandy land of south New Jersey, why can’t you grow it ?
Uninoculated ALFALFA Inoculated
Photographed on same scale. All other conditions identical.
THE CONTRAST SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
WHAT INOCULATION WILL DO
Unless the soil is very acid or wet, inoculation will
1. Increase the yield and quality of legume crops, giving quicker growth and earlier maturity.
2. Increase the food value of legumes.
3. Make legumes grow in new localities where they cannot otherwise be grown successfully.
4. Supply nitrates to other crops growing with the inoculated 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
Small Cost Large Returns Easy to Use
FERTILIZER VALUES
of well inoculated legumes have long been determined. It is shown in Bulletin No. 71, issued by the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture, that tests covering a large part of the country prove that legumes will deposit 1000 lbs. of nitrates per acre. This means that your most expensive commercial fer- tilizer is absolutely unnecessary when you plant legumes that are perfectly inoculated, sown and planted in properly prepared land.
PEAS, BEANS, SWEET PEAS
yield earlier, longer and better when treated. Inoculation is endorsed by farmers, Federal and State Agricultural Departments and private estates. It is delivered to you in bottles ready for use — you can inoculate the seed for ten acres in ten minutes.
These cultures contain pure, tested strains of active, vigorous nitrogen-fixing bacteria, for inoculating seeds of legumes or soil. Enormous numbers of these very valuable and desirable bacteria are thus available to you in every package and may readily be applied to your seed. The sealed bottle insures purity.
Always specify on your order what crop you want to inoculate, as there is a different strain of bacteria for each legume. Prepared for Clover, Alfalfa, garden Beans, Soy Beans, garden Peas, Canadian Field Peas, Cow Peas, Vetch and all other legumes.
Inoculation does not apply to Corn crops.

working parts, including plunger, gland, valves, valve seats and strainer, are of bronze.

The pump is fitted for mounting on the end of the barrel, only , where it is held in place by an adjustable clamp which fits over the end of a stave. It is also anchored
to the bottom of the barrel. , \ cm cn

TOWNSEND’S TRIPLEX
Here is a mower much lighter than the ordin- ary horse lawn mower, but which cuts three times as wide a swath. One man and one horse, with a Trip- lex, will cut more grass in a day than three men and three horses with three ordinary horselawnmow- ers, thus saving the wages of two men, the cost of two horses and the cost of their care and keep. Ask for circu- lar. Will cut swath 86 in. wide. Floats over the uneven ground as a ship rides the w a v es. One mower may be climbing a knoll, a second may be skim- ming the level, and a third may be paring a hollow.

FRENCH BELL GLASSES
For growing all kinds of early vegetables or flowers out of doors and under individual minia- ture greenhouse. The plants are started early and transplanted out of doors. One of these Bell Glasses placed over them in the day time, amounting to a minia- ture greenhouse, will protect them at night from the frost. It is a common sight in France among the private es- tates to see 50 to 100 of the Bell Glasses scattered over the gar- dens, protecting plants in different stages. Heretofore we have always imported these from France. The transportation breakage has always been a drawback. This year we have made arrangements with a large glass manufacturer to have these made here, and we are prepared to fill all orders promptly, and ship from Boston or factory, thus insuring practically no breakage.
Price, each, $2.50; pec doz,, $28.00.

Jardiniere Flower Pots, Oasis. Place the pot in the reservoir and pour water into the reservoir through the lip around the top edge, until water stands 34 in. deep in the lip. This supply will last for 8 to 10 days, but it will be found more satisfactory to have an appointed day in the week for refilling, since the duty is then less likely to be forgotten and neglected until the plants suffer for want of water.

SEED DRILLS AND WHEEL CULTIVATORS Cahoon’s Broadcast Seed Sower. The acknowledged superiority of these machines over all others has already placed them in the front rank of labor-saving agricultural implements. A saving of four-fifths of the labor and one-third of the seed is effected by their use, and a person entirely unused to sowing by hand can use this machine with perfect success. They are warranted to give perfect satisfaction and to save their cost in less time than any other farm implement yet introduced. They are substantially built, and with ordinary care will last many years. Price 3.75
Greenhouse, Hittinger. An excellent seeder for sowing Radish and Beets in beds in greenhouse. Will sow both ways, by drawing toward or pushing from you. Will save price in season. Each . . . 7.00 No. 12, “Iron Age’’ Wheel Plow and Cultivator. This tool is designed to perform all work needed to be done in a small kitchen garden; plowing, covering, hoeing, raking and cultivating. The average weight of this implement, fitted with one working tool, is but eight pounds, and therefore can be carried about the garden and used as readily as a common hoe. Packed weight, 20 lbs. Price. . 5.75 No. 19-C, “Iron Age’’ Wheel Plow and Cultivator. To meet the demand coming from some sections for a wheel plow and cultivator equipped with a higher wheel than anything we have previously offered, we designed our. No. 19 “Iron Age” Wheel Plow and Cultivator. In doing so it will be noticed we have kept in mind those excellent features which have made our whole line of Iron Age Garden Implements so popular, viz., lightness combined with
strength. 24 in. wheel. Packed weight, 22 lbs. Price 6.00
No. 301, “Iron Age” Double and Single Wheel Hoe. The change from a Double to a Single Wheel Hoe is quickly made.
It stirs the soil very close to the plants without disturbing them ill the least. Just think of the labor-saving possibilities of an implement that enables thorough cultivation of the garden at an easy walking gait. After the plants have outgrown the use of the side hoes, or where it is desired to practice deeper cultivation, the cultivator teeth are applied. Plows may also be applied for working astride rows to turn the soil to the plants and to open furrows for manure or deep planting of seeds. Packed weight 40 lbs. Price . . . 11.00 No. 306, “Iron Age” Combined Double and Single Wheel Hoe, Hill and Drill Seeder. Whether you garden for pleasure or profit, you need an Iron Age Garden Tool. Combined in this tool are three distinct and thoroughly practical implements, a Hill and Drill Seeder, a Double Wheel and a Single Wheel Hoe. As a Hill and Drill Seeder it opens the furrow, deposits the seed, covers it and rolls it all at one operation, either in drills or hills. The Drill is operated with great ease, is most accurate, durable and satisfac- tory. The seed sowing device is simple yet very effective. The agi- tator is simply a revolving brush of selected bristles, which separates the seeds which may cling together, and acts as a gentle force feed.
Packed weight, 57 lbs. Price 19.00
No. 317, “Iron Age” Combined Single Wheel Hoe and Drill Seeder. A strong, durable tool designed to do all the work in any garden except dropping seed in hills, otherwise quite similar to a No. 306, with but a single wheel and plow. Packed weight 47 lbs.
Price 15.00
No. 318, “Iron Age” Drill Seeder. Designed especially for the man who has to plant successive crops in continuous rows and who does not require the hill dropping device. A handy tool to use in connection with No. 12 or 301 in gardens where more than one
person may be engaged at work at the same time. Price 12.50
The New Model Seed Drill. The record of the “New Model” hasbeen so entirely satisfactory, and its place as one of the leading drills has become so firmly established, that we are almost tempted to discard the term “New.” It is still regarded by many of the oldest and best market gardeners as “the old standby,” and we heartily recommend it to those desiring a Drill Seeder without the combination of cultivating tools.

TRELLIS WIRE. For Peas, Tomato Vines, etc. This trellis is to take the place of ordinary brush that is used in gardens ; it is al- most indispensable in any well kept garden. Practically inde- structible and easily put up; at the end of the season it can be rolled up and stored away ready to use another year. Peas, either garden or flower, are most easily picked, and tomatoes grown on these trellises are more uniform and less liable to rot.

STARTING FOOD
With a bag of Conkey’s Buttermilk Starting Food on hand you are always sure that you have enough good buttermilk ready for your chicks. It contains pure buttermilk, reduced to dry powdered form, with its valu- able lactic acid that helps the delicate digestive organs of the little chick. Mixed with it is a combination of clean wholesome grains, a ration balanced just right for baby chicks. It is the ideal baby chick food from every stand- point— the only baby chick food with buttermilk in it because Conkey controls the patent for extracting the great mass of water ‘from the original buttermilk. You pay for the actual buttermilk only, not for waste water.

CARTER’S SANITARY GREEN FOOD FEEDERS. A steady diet of grain alone when hens are con- fined in pens or small yards is not satisfactory. They require some green food regularly.

It meets the needs of every poultryman. Made of strong, soft, fish-net twine. It lasts for years. Carter’s Feeder keeps vegetables' clean and high enough off the floor so the fowls get exercise while they eat. Price, 35c. each.

INCUBATORS
BUCKEYE
“The
Best Incubator Made”
The name “Buckeye” represents “service” — and when we talk to you about Buckeye Incu- bators, we do not refer to the wood and metal of which the machine is constructed, but to the “service” we guarantee the incubator to give.
Over four hundred thousand (400,000) satis- fied users represent the proof that we offer in support of Buckeye superiority — little breeders, big breeders, beginners, experts — breeders that include every class from boys and girls with a little 60-egg machine — up to the tremendous poultry plants with capacities of 50,000 eggs and more — all uniting in the same verdict.
Style E. Price $10.50
The agricultural colleges and experimental stations throughout the United States are almost a solid unit in their selection of the Buckeye — which fact in itself is the highest tribute that could pos- sibly be paid to any agricultural device. The men in charge of such institutions are invariably selected because of their wide experience and expert knowledge — and their opinions count for something.
It is no longer considered a feat to build an incubator that will hatch “some” chickens from “some” of the eggs placed in it, (there are many such incubators on the market), but the truly successful incubator is the machine that will hatch a chicken from every hatchable egg — the vigorous kind of chicks that start to grow the moment they are hatched, and continue to grow with- out forcing or doctoring.
GUARANTEE
The Buckeye is guaranteed to hatch more chicks and stronger chicks than any other incubator.
It is further guaranteed:
To require no artificial moisture. To operate satisfactorily in any temperature down to freez- ing, and to require no attention to the regulator from the time a hatch is started until it is finished.
The perfect construction of all its mechanical parts is also guaranteed, and any Incubator or part thereof that does not fulfill our guarantee in every particular, will be replaced without question any time within 40 days.

BROODERS
The Standard
Tho Standard Brooder has actually revolutionized the whole poultry industry by helping the brooders to raiHo a much larger percentage of their young stock, with just about one-fourth of tho labor.
Regardless of what they cost, there is no other brooder that compares with the Standard — that is tho verdict of brooders who have tried them all.
Some brooders cost twice as much as tho Standard be- cause of their heavy complicated design — but their addi- tional weight and complicated appliancos only mako them less dosirable.
It is tho very simplicity of tho “Standard” that makes it tho best brooder on earth. With only a few simple parts tho Standard accomplishes with never-failing certainty those things in which tho more complicated devices fail.
Absolute Comfort for the Chicks. — It is a well-established fact that ovory chick is not entirely comfortable in the samo tomporaturo — some require a little moro heat, while others require less. Under the conditions provided by the Standard ( 'olony Brooder, evory chick can seek tho precise temperature that suits it best. If it needs plenty of warmth it movos closer to tho stove, and if it requires less heat it moves farther away from tho stove. Thus wo provide, tho ideal tomporaturo for each and evory chick ! They follow tho natural inclinations of nature — and nature seldom goos wrong.
Tho regulator supplied with tho Standard Colony Brooder is tho simplest, tho most powerful and the most positive dovico over used on a Colony Brooder. It not only controls tho temperature under tho hover, but at the samo time it insures a continuous fire in the stovo, regardless of the weather. Hot or cold, tho fire is always thero so long as there is a pound of coal in the stove to burn. This is an exclusive “Standard” foaturo and is only made possible by the ingenious mechanism which regulates tho burning of tho coal without closing the smoko pipe. This featuro cannot bo found in any other coal-burning stovo but tho Standard.
It is economical, as it burns but throo to six eonts’ worth of coal in a day. In ordinary cool weather it cannot burn more than throo cents’ worth of coal, and with tho woathcr bolow froozing, it cannot burn moro than six cents’ worth of coal in a day.
This economic condition is mado possible by tho special design of tho stove, which provides a higher radiating power from every pound of coal than can possibly bo obtained with a stovo of any othor design. This is an exclusive “Standard” foaturo.
Convenience. — It is not necessary to disturb tho hover in order to coal tho firo or shako down tho ashes. Tho coal is poured in tho top of the stove, and the ashes are shaken down and removed through tho convenient door in the hover. Tho hover is not permanently attached to the stovo, however, and is easily raised to a convenient height for cleaning, etc.
The Standard Colony Brooder is tho greatest brooding device over invented, and wo are willing to prove it by per- mitting you to
Try It For 30 Days at Our Risk
and if you are not satisfied that it is tho greatest brooder you ever saw, you can return it and your money will bo refunded without a question askod.

PORTABLE BROODER
They Hover at the Curtain
That’s why the chicks never crowd. The reflected radia- tion from the lamp — together with the direct radiation from the canopy overhead — produces those samo ideal conditions that we find in tho “Standard” coal burner. The chicks hover in circles — around the outside edges — and each individual chick selects the spot that is best suited to his comfort. Being warmest at the curtain there is no incentive for the chicks to sock the center, and, conse- quently, there is no inclination to “crowd” or “pile.”

THE NEW MAMMOTH BUCKEYE INCUBATOR
CAPACITY, 2440 Eggs. SIZE of case, 5 feet square, 32 inches deep, legs 18 inches high (with legs detached will pass through any ordinary door).
A CONTINUOUS HATCHER. The Mammoth Buckeye Incubator is a “continuous hatcher.” Single trays may be filled with eggs at any time without disturbing or injuring any other eggs in the egg-chamber, or the entire machine may be loaded at one time. An incubator in which any number of eggs may bo introduced at any time has been the greatest need of the modern poultry farm and hatchery. Until the invention of the Buckeye Mammoth such an arrange- ment has been impossible, because under the old system all the eggs must be placed in the egg-chamber at the same time, as the necessary “cooling” could not be applied to later lots of eggs while the first lot was hatching# Under the Buckeye Mammoth system the eggs require no cooling. The real purpose of the cooling period under the older plan is to give the developing chicks a breathing spell out in the open, a plan necessary to the welfare of the chicks because the eggs are confined to a closed compartment in which the circulation of air is necessarily slow and sluggish. As a result of this slow circulation there will be an accumulation of poisonous gases in the incubatojr, which necessitates the “airing” of both the eggs and the egg-chamber. The necessity of “airing” or “cooling” the eggs is entirely eliminated in the Buckeye Mammoth, as the continuous circulation of the revitalized air is self-sufficient and is responsible in a marked degree for the increased size and exceptional vitality of the chicks incubated by this improved system. The great majority of persons using Buckeye Mammoth Incubators prefer to introduce fresh eggs every few days, so for their special convenience wo provide a chick-guard for the four lowest trays. By starting all the new eggs in the top trays and moving the trays down a peg as each hatch is completed, the chicks always hatch in the bottom trays where the metal guard confines them com- fortably in the dark when the machine is opened.
