POULTRY FEEDS

Memphis, Tenn. January 1, 1919.

To My Customers :

It is with pleasure that I hand you my new seed annual. I appreciate the orders you have given me and assure you that your future orders will receive my usual careful attention.

To you who were members of that great army of the soil, that formed the bulwark of civilization last year, your government is making a greater call. War in Europe is over, but the reconstruction is only begun . We have not only to take care of our army and the* needs of our Allies, as when the war continued; but, also, of the starving millions we have1 liberated , whose lands have been stripped of everything needed for producing any commodity.

I, therefore, believe that owing to this enor- mous demand for farm products, you have every rea- son to look forward to a high price and good profit for everything you can grow, and I think there is every reason to expect to get all the help you may need, owing to the slacking up of war work and to the demobilization of our Army.

As is always the case, some seed are very scarce and especially such as are imported from Europe.

Our ships are as crowded as ever and devastated Europe cannot be expected to get back to normal pro- duction for years to come and while I have on hand the best stock of seed I have ever carried, I urge you to order early that you may get your choice of variety.

I want to call your attention to the fact again this year that BUCK BRAND SEEDS are re-cleaned and tested by me for fertility and that nothing but ; clean, fertile seed will be shipped by me.

Yours very truly.

OUR FROST-PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS

Will Mature Heads Two to Three Weeks Earlier Than Your Home-Grown Plants and Double Your Profits.

There are a number of Islands along the sea coast of South Carolina and the gulf coast of Lou- isiana where the soil and climatic conditions are just suited for growing tough, hardy cabbage plants during the Winter and early Spring. The plants make a slow but steady growth, until -at eight or ten weeks of age they are very tough and hardy, the buds are purple and the outer leaves a reddish brown. When in this condition they can be shipped to territory further north and be planted in the open ground a month to six weeks sooner than the home-grown hotbed or coldframe plants.- These frost-proof cabbage plants will stand a tem-

KaKLY FLAT DUTCH CABBAGE

perature of 20 degrees above zero without injury, the land freezing, or the plants being covered with ice, sleet or snow after they are planted will not Injure them.

The top of the plant does not grow until your regular Spring weather opens up, but the roots grow from the time they are planted, and just as soon as Spring weather starts, the established root growth assimulates the fertilizer in the soil, the plants grow very fast, maturing headed cabbage

two or three weeks sooner than you can mature them from hotbed and coldframe plants. You know what the difference in profit will be if your crop is matured and marketed before the general crop from home-grown plants is matured.

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

Our cabbage plants are grown from the best Long Island grown seed and shipped direct from our growing station in South Carolina or Louis- iana by parcel post or express. We can fill orders from December 1 to May 1.

The plants when received will be somewhat wilt- ed and have a hard, stunted appearance, which will be disappointing to persons who have never used these plants before. Regardless of appearance, thej1- will produce the crop results.

Varieties — Early Jersey Wakefield, Charleston Large Type Wakefield, Succession and Early Flat Dutch.

CABBAGE

EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD CABBAGE.

One ounce will produce 3,000 plants.

Culture — Soli for Cabbage should be rich and > eavy loam, with good drainage. On such a soil, with an abundance of stable manure, excellent crops are sure to be grown. For early Spring, sow in Fall not too early, for the plants are liable to bolt in the Spring instead of heading. In a month the plants will be fit to transplant to coldframes, where they -are wintered, taking care in planting to set the young plants down to the first leaves. In this case, they are set in rows 2 to 3 feet, so as Trans- plant in Spring as soon as the ground can be worked, setting the plants 2 feet apart one way and from 12 to 18 inches the other, according to the variety. If it is desirable to economize space. Lettuce or Radish may be sown between the rows, as they will be out of the way before the Cabbage needs the room. For late or Win- ter crop, the seed is sown in May, and the plants set out in July, to work them with a horse and cultivator.

CAULIFLOWER

Culture— The same as for cabbage, except that extra manure and plenty of water will pay upon Cauliflower. If the soil be dry, water frequently, and, if the plants could have a heavy mulch of hay or straw, it would keep the soil moist, and they would not suffer from drought.

SELECTED SOUTHERN GROWN SEED

CORN

We are devoting considerable space to the description of the different varieties we have to offer, but are listing only those we consider to be the very best of their type. Our slocks are the product of care- fully selected seed stock and of crops that have received every care necessary to the production of a grade of corn that can be recommended as strictly seed stock.

MEXICAN JUNE — Parties who have never planted Mexican June corn should bear in mind that it is special purpose or Summer crop and should not be planted earlier than June in the middle South, probably about June 12 to 20 is the best time; later in the extreme South and a little earlier in northern part of cotton belt. Southern farmers should insure their feed bills by planting a few acres of June Corn; it’s a necessity in case of drought, and comes in handy any time. Easily and cheaply raised after the rush of Spring work is over. Q,t„ 35c; 4 qts., S5c; pk., $1.50; postpaid.

REID’S YELLOW DENT CORN — One of the most largely grown yellow varieties throughout the corn belt. A splendid variety for farmers who sell corn on the ear as the ears are so remarkably uniform in size, type and color. (It., 35c; 4 qts., SOc; pk., $1.50; postpaid. ! J

HUFFMAN’S (Tennessee Grown, 1 Ear; Matures in 120 days —

The standard variety of white corn grown throughout this section. It has deep grains, comparatively small cob, and makes a good growth of both stalk and fodder. Our stock of this has been grown by the same growers for the past ten years, and selections and im- provements made each successive year. We recommend this as a most satisfactory and large yielding white field corn, especially for river low lands. (It., 35c; 4 qts., 85e; pk., $1.50; postpaid.

HICKORY’ KING CORN — A very popular and productive white corn, especially for high land, and it is in great favor with those wanting late roasting ears. It produces on good soil three or four averaged-sized ears to the stalk. The grain is large, broad and beautifully white, making the finest quality meal. The cob is often so small that a large-sized grain will cover the end of it. Q,t., 35c; 4 qts., S5c; pk., $1.50; postpaid.

TENNESSEE YEUUOYV DENT

TENNESSEE YELLOYV DENT — A strictly Tennessee or South- ern bred corn, producing from two to three ears to the stalk. The

ears are of me- dium length, filled from tip to butt with kernels of great length. The cob of this corn is extreme- ly small, more a p p r o a ching the North Caro- lina in size than the usual size cob pro- duced by yel- low corns. Our grower reports a yield of 60 bushels per acre from a field of 200 acres this season. One customer reports that he had hard corn to feed 90 days after having planted this va- riety.

APPEALS TO

SOUTH FOR MORE GARDENS

Bal tlmore, Md., Dec. 9. — An appeal to the south to respond to the world cry for food was made by Charles L. Pack, president of the national war garden commission, in an address to members of the isomthepn com- mercial con- gress in ses- sion here.

“W e see Hoover calling for help to feed the w o r 1 d,” said Pack. "The south must wake up to the food question, for there are new millions out from under the heel of the Hun that must be fed,’’

THIS COUNTRY MUST FEED THE STARVING MILLIONS OF EUROPE.

America will not only be the market for the food of 120 million people of the Allies we are now helping to feed, but we must help 180 million people who are now hungry and starving, victims of Germany and the war in Poland, Serbia, Armenia; people in Rumania, Ukraine, and Baltic prov- inces where production has been almost stopped; in European Russia where revolution has ruined the farmers; and in Norway, Sweden and Holland whose food carrying ships have been destroyed by German submarines. And Germany and Austria, with insufficient food in their own countries will also seek this market.

GARDEN PEAS

Culture — Sow as early as the ground can be worked and again every ten days for succession. Peas may be sown in this vicinity as late as the 20th of August. Medium and late Peas must be planted early; Extra-Earlies may be planted again in August. Sow in single or double rows from 4 to 6 feet apart, according to the different heights, about an inch apart in the row (except such sorts as we note to sow thinly) and 4 inches deep. In this climate, the First and Best Pea, if planted from the 10th to the last of August, will produce a fair crop for fall picking, when Peas will be most acceptable. Hoe often and keep the ground clean and fine.

Those marked with a star (*) are wrinkled marrows, and, unless otherwise stated, should be sown thicker than the round Peas, and not until the ground has become warm, as they are more liable to rot. They are the finest flavored of all Peas. Those marked thus (f) are large-podded sorts.

EARLIEST OF ALL OR ALASKA — By careful se- lection and growing we have developed a stock of this smooth blue Pea of unequaled evenness in growth of vine and early maturity of pods, which are filled with medium-sized, bright green peas of good flavor.

The planter does not see his results until lie has bestowed more than three months of labor and care upon the plants, and he does not want to be dis- appointed at that time.

In the tomato growing section of New Jersey, which practically controls the Eastern mar- kets, it is grown almost exclusively. It is of very handsome shape quite solid and of fine quality. The fruiting season only lasts about four weeks, so that if marketed early the crop may be sold before the markets are glutted with the later kinds.

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD TOMATO SEED.

The planter does not see his results until he aas bestowed more than three months of labor and care upon the plants, and he does not want to Le disappointed at that time. Realizing this, we have exercised the greatest care in selecting only the very best strains of Tomatoes, and va- rieties that are best adapted to growing in the South and Southwest. Our seeds are grown by the most careful growers and will certainly prove satisfactory to the most critical planters.

Culture — For early Turnips, sow as soon as the ground opens in spring. Summer varieties should be sown from any time in July to first of October. Turnips are generally sown broadcast, but much larger crops are obtained (particularly of the Rutabaga) by cultivating in drills 18 inches apart, and thinning to 6 inches in the drill. Sow in drills, one pound to the acre; broadcast 3 to 5 pounds to the acre.

For farmers who are intending to put land down permanently to grass, our Special Grass and Clover Mixtures are decidedly better than sowing two or three varieties together. It has been proven over and over again that sowing a large number of varieties of grasses and clovers together not only yield more pasturage, but much better crops of hay, and that the meadows or pastures will keep in good productive condition very much longer.

In all of our Grass Seed Mixtures we use the very best seeds only, the quality and purity of the seeds being our first consideration.

COTTON SEED FOE PLANTING

In listing below a few of the many varieties of Cotton Seed, I have tried to give you a short, to tlie point description of each variety, and if you are going to buy this Spring, my advice to you is to buy at once, as I sincerely believe that, owing to the unheard of high prices being paid by the Oil Mills for seed, there will not be enough left to plant the 1919 crop. Write at once for quantity prices on the varieties you think best suited to your land and the conditions in regard to boll weevil, as you know every one who plants cotton in 1919 must figure on the possibility of working with the boll weevil. In writing for special prices, state what quantities wanted.

EARLY

EXPRESS — This is a new sensation cotton; has made good wherever planted. The name itself de- scribes its earliness; a heavy yield and the quick- est maturing for this section.

AND FEEDS

FLOWER SEED DEPARTMENT

Every year we revise the line of seeds we carry. All inferior sorts are then eliminated, while to our list we add those meritorious varieties which, by test, have proven themselves superior to older kinds. We now offer a very complete assortment of seeds of HIGHEST QUALITY — the Best that Money can Buy. We sell nearly every variety by the packet; some popular sorts are offered by weight as well.

BRIEF CULTURAL DIRECTIONS are printed on the packets. By following them almost any person will have fair success in the culture of flowers. While some seeds need special treatment, the following gen- eral rules will apply to all: Make the surface of the soil as fine, smooth and level as possible; do not

plant when the ground is wet; cover each lot of seeds to a uniform depth, which should not be more than four or six times the diameter of the seed; press the soil firmly over the seed; plant in rows so that the starting plants can be seen easily, thin out the young plants to prevent crowding and keep entirely free from weeds. Never allow the seedlings to suffer from drought.

Much of the disappointment and failure that attend the growing of flowers from seed may be avoided by carefully noting the class to which each flower plant belongs, and following the appropriate culture. Any extra labor or care given to flowers always redounds to the credit of the cultivator.

FLOWERING PLANTS ARE CLASSED AS ANNUALS, BIENNIALS AND

PERENNIALS

ANNUALS are

those which mhture, bloom and ripen seed the first year and then perish.

BIENNIALS do not generally flower the first season, and are in perfection only the second year.

PERENNIALS flower several years in succession. May bloom the first year if sown early.

HARDY ANNUALS, BIEN- NIALS AND PERENNIALS can be sown in the open ground early in

the spring if desired, and Bien-

SWEET ALISSDM nials and Perennials will not re- quire any protection in winter. The blooming period of all classes may be greatly extended by picking off the flowers as soon as they fade.

HALF-HARDY ANNUALS, BIENNIALS AND PERENNIALS cannot be sown in the open ground until warm weather; they may be sown in the house, if desired, and afterward transplanted. The latter two need to be protected in winter, or carried until spring in coldframes or greenhouses.

In this list of flower seeds the following abbre- viations are used to indicate the classification:

II. A Hardy Annuals

H. H. A Half-Hardy Annuals

T. A Tender Annuals

II. P Hardy Perrennials

H. H. P Half-Hardy Perennials

SMALL COST— LARGE RETURNS— EASY TO USE— NO LABOR EXPENSE

Uninoculated ALFALFA Inoculated

Photographed on same scale. Plant on left not Inoculated — Plant on right Inoculated with Mulford Cul- ture of Alfalfa. All other condi- tions identical.

THE CONTRAST SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

MULFORD CULTURES contain pure, tested strains of active, vigorous nitrogen-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 ac- tivity 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 out- side air).

INCREASE YOUR CROPS, IMPROVE YOUR SOIL

Legumes offer the best-known means of maintaining soil fertility and rejuvenating over-cropped and worn out fields. They add both humus and nitrogen to your soil and thus increase your yield of wheat, cotton, 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., Philadelphia. U. S. A., with the same degree of I care as Mulford Antitoxins, Serums, Vaccines, etc., which are • standard all over the world.

Ee sure to specify the particular legume on which you desire to use the MULFORD CULTURES, otherwise we will not know how to fill your order.

TO MY CUSTOMERS

I deeply appreciate the confidence you have shown in my business and in my Buck Brand Tested Seeds by your orders during the past. Four confidence in myself and business has been the sole cause of the rapid growth of this business. I want to especially thank you for overlooking any short comings due to the war, labor conditions and congested transportation.

While the war is over you and I as well as everyone in this nation must continue to work as we have in the past during the reconstruction period. Our Government tells us that the Food Problems of America will increase after Peace Terms are Signed, and every commodity pro- duced by this nation will be in demand greater than ever before.

America will not only be the market for the food of 120 million people of the Allies we are now helping to feed, but we must help 180 nillion people who are now hungry and starving, victims of Germany and the war in Poland, Serbia, Armenia; people in Rumania, Ukraine and Baltic provinces where production has been almost stopped; in European Russia where revolution has ruined the farmers; and in Norway, Sweden rnd Holland whose food carrying ships have been destroyed by German submarines. And Germany and Austria, with insufficient food in their >wn countries will also seek this market.

COTTON SEED — We have used our best efforts as in the past to secure for you the best varieties from the best growers of Cotton Seed

1:or 1919 planting. You cannot afford to plant Mixed Seed and ship in mixed staple cotton next Fall when the cost of Seed is the least cost >f your crop.

SEED CORN — Information from growers of Pure Bred Seed Corn with whom I have been dealing for years, write me that the quality as well as germination was never better than the 1918 crop.

ALFALFA SEED — The crop is short in some sections, however, I have secured my usual supply of the best upland American Grown Seed, vhich I have been so successful with for the past several years.

CLOVER SEED — The crop is very short and the price extremely high this season.

GRASS SEEDS — Crops have been good on Red Top, but short on some varieties, however, the high price of Cattle and Hogs and indicated high prices for several years to come should make this branch of farming very profitable.

SEED POTATOES — We have I believe the best crop ever harvested of both Irish and Sweet potatoes.

ONION SETS — Some crops good, while others are poor owing to excessive rains during harvest.

SEED OATS — For Spring Seeding, quality very good, we will hardle the Texas Red Rust Proof, Tennessee Burt and Clay varieties. LESPEDEZA — Reported very short in some sections, and plentiful in other sections, write me if you want to buy seed, send sample if •ou have them for sale. . . ,

'ERMS and PRICES — Our terms are net cash and prices are contantly changing, especially on field seeds. Please write, wire or phone when eady to buy. '

YOU LAND OWNERS— YOU FARMERS— MUST GET READY.

You know that the orchards of France and Belgium have been destroyed, and it will take 20 years to replace these orchards. America must furnish the fruit as well as the food for the world after peace is declared, and the sooner you get an orchard started, the quicker you will be reaping a profit from same.

Many Land Owners and Farmers are not awake to their oppor- tunities. They forget that while the raising of fruit is decreasing that the country’s population is increasing and the nation’s appetite for fruit growing..

You can plant an orchard and cultivate crops between the rows while young trees are growing.

WHEN OUR BOYS COME HOME

PRESIDENT WILSON has asked Congress to make arrangements to provide every returning soldier and sailor, who wants it, with a farm ready and equipped to make a living for the soldier or sailor and his family beginning with the day they move on it. The farms are to be paid for from the surplus of their own products in twenty to forty years with a low rate of interest.

The plan is for a state, or for individual lands owners to furnish at a low price large tracts of land that by clearing, drainage or irrigation or other improvements can be made highly productive. Each tract must be large enough to provide one hundred or more farms so that an entire community can be made of soldier-sailor farmers and their families.

The farms will be of the most advantageous size for the lines of farming to which they are adapted. A tract selected for market gardening will consist of farms of a few acres each while areas adapted to live stock will be laid out in large farms. A farm expert will live in each community to help every family make its farm profitable from the beginning.

The Government will construct good roads connecting all farms in each tract, do whatever is necessary to put the land in good condition for raising crops, erect the needed buildings and fences and equip each farm with team, live stock and implements.

The soldier who selects a farm is to pay the actual cost of the land and its equip- J meat A small payment down and the balance at low interest in payments extending twenty to forty years with the option of completing payment at any time. It 'is desired that the soldiers and sailors who want farms will work for the Government in clearing, draining and other work that will be necessary to put the land in productive condition 1 and in this way earn money to use in operating their farms when they get them.'

Most of the land offered in Eastern Arkansas, Northern Mississippi and Western Tennessee for these settlements is alluvial land of extraordinary richness that needs i clearing and draining. Governor Lowden, of Illinois, bought several thousands acres of such land in Eastern Arkansas, cleared and drained it and his returns from cotton and cottonseed in 1918 were $200 an acre. Hundreds of acres of this alluvial land after being cleared and drained has yielded six cuttings of alfalfa a year, averaging a ton to the cutting. Yields of GO to 100 bushels of corn per acre are frequent and several grow- ers have made an average of more than thirty bushels of wheat an acre for several years.

Before these plans can be made a reality the necessary laws must be passed by |-

Congress and by State Legislatures. Write to-day to your U. S. Senators and Con- gressmen and to your State Legislators asking them to take a personal interest in get- ting the necessary laws passed and to use strenuous efforts to get them passed quickly ; so that the boys who want farms can get them soon.

Send a copy of this circular to every soldier and sailor cf your acquaintance, tnat i each may thoroughly consider the proposition and spread this information throughout his camp.
