Plant a iQrarden Grow Mcire Food
HE BUG CROP in 1918 was nearly as large as the beet crop, and many persons raised more blisters than beans ; but everyone who attempted a war garden got a taste of fresh vegetables, and that started things. This year the bug crop won’t be so big — not by fifty per cent.
Why? Because we have all had last summer’s experi- ence ; and that’s all the professional gardener has — experience. He knows when to go after bugs and what to use.
So this year you will want to grow more food, not only for its value in temporarily satisfying that inner craving, but for the fun of it, the outdoor exercise, and to boast about it, and, incidentally, to know that you are saving a little.
A little? Yes. Last year Denver kept tab on her war gardens, and discovered that there were 31,125 of them in the city, or a total of 2,233 acres. The estimated value of this crop was approximately $2,000,000. This estimate was on a basis of about $67 per garden, or a per capita return of $8.12 for every man, woman and child in the city.
The National Home Garden Commission, in estimating the total yield from all the war gardens of the United States last year, com- puted the totals on an average of $100 per garden.
This booklet was written and compiled to help you. Use it faith- fully, both in the selection of seeds and as a guide in tilling the soil.
You will find the various items briefly but thoroly set forth in a manner easy to understand.
Refer frequently to the chart in the center of the book — it will help you plan and get results.
Many seedsmen this year advanced the packet price to 10c. In accordance with conditions we have re- priced all packets. Some we were able to reduce to
3c Per Packet
Others we had to advance to 6c, 7c, 8c, and a few to 10c ; but in every instance you get the value of your money in first-class DEPENDABLE SEEDS.
Planning the Garden
Plan your back-yard garden on paper in advance. A little indoor gardening of this sort will enable you to have fresh vegetables thru- out the season, and will make the same ground yield two or three crops, instead of the single crop commonly raised in small gar- dens.
Moreover, such planning will make it possible for you to get the ground ready in time for planting, and to secure your seeds and plant them at the dates which give each variety its best grow- ing conditions.
The planting chart in the center of this book will tell you when to plant successive crops. There is a wealth of information on the center pages, which become more valuable the more you study them.
For example, if you will thus
plan the plot to be devoted to peas, by the time your first crop is harvested the second crop will be in bearing, and the plants of the third well advanced.
All the tools necessary for in- door gardening, which can be made an interesting recreation for the whole household, are a large sheet of wrapping paper, a ruler, and a pencil. After look- ing over the garden and selecting the plot of soil best suited for your purpose, measure this, and outline it on paper on a scale of one-fourth or one-eighth inch to the foot.
Next, study this Seed Book to determine what can be grown in your climate under the conditions of exposure, soil, and drainage found in your back yard or vacant lot.
Plant What the Family Wants
Then comes the consultation with the family to determine the sorts of vegetables which the dif- ferent members like, and which, therefore, they personally will be interested in raising.
The aim of the back-yard gar- dener should be to raise those vegetables which either are ex- pensive or in which the flavor or quality depends in great measure on absolute freshness.
Peas and string or lima beans, to be at their best, should be cooked almost immediately after they are gathered. Peas kept even for a day lose much of their delicate flavor and sweetness. Consequently as much space as possible should be devoted to such vegetables. Other vegetables, in which freshness is not so essen- tial, should largely be used as fillers to keep the ground at work.
Plant Special Vegetables
An effort should also be made family is fond, and which are
to have special vegetables, such difficult to obtain in local mar-
as Swiss Chard, of which the kets, and then only at high prices.
[2]
For your convenience we have put the leading varieties in Black Face Type. If you are in doubt, this will help you make a satisfactory selection.
The housewife probably will want a little bed of parsley, mint, sage, or other herbs, not because they are expensive to buy, but be- cause of the convenience of being able to pick a sprig just when it is needed.
Having decided what is to be planted, the indoor gardener draws lines or symbols on his out-
Habits of Plants
In laying out the plan, the owner should consider the amount of each vegetable necessary for a serving for his family. He also should bear in mind the habits of the plants, so as to allow enough space between the rows for their proper growth, for the interplant- ing of later crops, and for easy cultivation.
The cultivation, of course, is easiest when the rows are one and one-half to two feet apart, as this permits the use of wheel cul- tivators.
lined plan to indicate the different crops, inserting the date when each is to be planted. Where a second or third crop is to follow the same row, or occupy the same ground, this may be written in red or blue, indicating that it is to be planted when an earlier crop is harvested.
to Be Considered
Plants of high growth, and which cause heavy shade, nat- urally should not be located where they will interfere with sun-lov- ing small plants.
Perennials, such as rhubarb and asparagus, which are not culti- vated, should not be grown among plants which call for tilling.
The planning should be extend- ed to the planting of small fruits, such as currants and raspberries, and even to the location of apple, plum, cherry, or other fruit trees.
WHAT “DEPENDABLE GRADE” MEANS
\X7HILE we endeavor to have all our Seeds, Bulbs, Plants and Poultry Foods dependable and equal to representation in every respect, we have from time to time procured several exceptionally choice strains of seeds, which we put out under our special brand of “Dependable Grade,’’ when as such they are the best obtainable. This also applies to several Poultry Food Mixtures, etc., which have won us many compliments.

PLANS for a Small Garden
In this plan all the vegetables named are planted in rows across from the inside lateral rows of strawberries. As rapidly as each kind of peas matures and the crop is over, kale is planted in its place. The ground to be used for tomatoes is first planted with onion sets, and these onions are used as rapidly as needed. When the time comes to set out the tomatoes, some of the onions are dug to make space for the tomato plants. When the tomato crop is over, the ground is occupied by spinach as the third crop. Spinach is also planted as soon as the bulb onions from the side are gathered. The beans, carrots and peas are succeeded by late cab- bage, and between the rows of late cabbage, late onion sets can be planted. Late beans are planted be- tween the rows of pars- nips.

PEAS
The furrow for Peas should be four inches deep. Sow the seeds one inch apart and cover with one inch of fine soil, thus leaving part of the furrow unfilled above them. This is to be filled gradually with fine soil as the plants grow, until the furrow is filled level with the ground. By this method, the sun can warm through the soil to the roo>ts. Peas can be planted as soon as the frost is out of the ground; the rows should be two and a half feet apart. Plant the climbing varieties near a fence and train them on wire netting.

Corn to be at its best should be eaten within a few hours after it is picked, for its sugar content disappears very rapidly after it is removed from the g'arden. Beginning as soon as the soil is warm, successive plantings may be made every two or three weeks until late summer.

SWEET CORN
Corn should be planted to the north of the garden, so as not to shade the other crops. It should not be planted in a very small garden unless it is the only crop to be raised. It needs shallow but continual tilling. Just after the middle of May is a good time to plant. The rows should be three feet apart, the kernels sown three together every six inches in the furrow. When the Corn is well started, pull out all but one stalk to each place. Keep the little shoots or suckers cut from around the roots. Corn matures slowly, large cob varieties sometimes requiring three months. The ears are ready to pick when the silk is brown and the kernels on the tip are plump. Never touch the ears of growing corn; it is liable to spoil them.
Postage on Corn is 5c per lb. extra, except on packets and t4-lb. lots.

ASPARAGUS
Asparagus is a slow grower, requiring at least three years to ma- ture from seed, and is therefore not generally recommended to the small gardener. Usually unless one owns his home it is not a profit- able undertaking, and we would recommend, unless you go into as- paragus raising on a large scale, that you get the roots in preference to trying to raise from seed.

BEETS — ^Table Varieties
Detroit Dark Red
The rows in which Beets are planted should be a foot apart. Along each row, in a furrow or small trench one inch deep, drop the seeds one or two inches apart ; then cover them with fine soil, pressing it down. Beets should be planted some time between the first of April and the first of June; they will be from a week to a month coming up, according to the weather. When the plants are about four inches high thin out to from three to four inches apart. The plants pulled up can be planted elsewhere. Strip their outside leaves off, and put the plants in holes deep enough to keep the roots from turning up. Beets should be ready for eating in from eight to twelve weeks. Keep the ground loose and thoroughly tilled.

For the small garden we advise getting Cauliflower plants in pref- erence to growing from seed. The cultivation is the same as that of Cabbage, except that Cauliflower favors even a moister soil. Proper tilling and watering effects this very much. Cauliflower averages about three months in maturing. Tie the long leaves together over the grow- ing head to keep it white. Plants ready in April.

CABBAGE
The best way to raise Cabbage in the small garden is from the plants. Cabbage requires an abundance of both moisture and tilling. It is also advisable to enrich the ground if possible. Fertilizer may be conserved by placing a small amount under each hill before plants are set. It will pay you to set out both early and late varieties. Set early Cabbage 18 inches apart in row and two feet betv/een rows. Late Cabbage, two feet apart in rows and three feet apart between rows.

Dig holes at least five feet apart. They should be a foot wide and five inches deep. Fill each hole to within an inch of the top with equal parts of sand and well-rotted stable manure thoroughly mixed. Scatter at least ten seeds in it, well apart, and cover them with half an inch of fine soil, pressing it down. From the middle to the last of May is planting time. Thin out to three plants to a hill. Cucumbers grow well near a stone or rubbish heap; the vines will run over it. Hoe near them (but not too deep) as long as the vines will permit. Klondike, white core, early

CARROTS
Furrows for Carrots should be fourteen inches apart and from a half-inch to an inch deep. The seed can be sown from mid- April to mid-May; it should be sown rather close, as Carrots do not germinate very well. Thin the plants out to four inches apart when they are four inches high. Soil for Carrots should be par- ticularly well tilled before they are planted, and quite freed from stones.

CELERY
Celery, to be raised from the seed, requires almost expert care.
It is better for those who are not practiced gardeners to buy Celery plants. These are set out about the first of June, a foot apart, and mature along the last of September or during the first two weeks of October. Celery is by nature a marsh plant, and the soil about it must be kept wet, especially while the plants are young. When they get to be about four inches high, shear off the tops; it makes the plants more stately. As the plants grow, gradually draw the earth up around them to keep the stalks white; by the end of fall all should be covered but the tops. A heavy paper wrapped around each stalk will insure tender, white plants.
Keep the ground well loosened and cultivated; this is imperative on account of the moisture required by the plants. Celery is planted in rows that should be at least three feet apart. For plants see page 30.

LETTUCE— All Select
SFECIAI. CX7ZiTURAi:i JmHAT1,1ST ON IiETTUCE FREE
Lettuce will stand slight frosts, and is therefore one of the first things possible to plant if the ground is well prepared; early April is not too soon. It can be planted up to the middle of July, and many prefer the later plantings. Place seed in trench half an inch deep, cover with fine soil to top of the trench and press the soil down. The plants should be up in about a week. If head varieties are wanted, thin out to four or five inches. The heads are usually well formed in ten weeks and should then be cut or they will rapidly go to seed, espe- cially in hot weather. The rows of lettuce should be at least a foot apart. The quality of the lettuce depends on the tilling — keep the hoe busy.

ONION — Frcm Select Growers
Sow the seed as soon as the frost is out of the ground. The rows should be two feet apart, the furrows half an inch deep. Sow the seed close, pressing the soil down firmly on them. Thin the plants out to three inches apart. Hoeing is the salvation of Onions; if the weeds once get ahead of the young crop, they are death to it. The manure or prepared fertilizer used should be thoroughly mixed with the soil before the seed is sown and the ground should be kept smooth and even over the seed.

They are grown and transplanted exactly like Tomatoes, but the plants can be placed nearer one another in the ground, say two feet apart, in rows two and a half feet apart. A dozen good healthy Pepper plants will supply the average fam- ily. The plants should be set in rows three feet apart and two feet apart in the rows.

RADISHES
Radishes can be planted very early — as soon as the ground can be worked and there is no danger of frost. The rows should be from eight inches to a foot apart; the furrows for the seeds about half an inch deep; and the seeds, when dropped into the furrow, about an inch apart. Press fine soil down over them to the depth of the fur- row. As the plants grow, thin them out like beets. Radishes mature, depending on the kind, in from four to six weeks; the turnip-shaped ones? are the earlier.

|
fall, and can be packed in boxes of sand to keep all winter. |

SQUASH
The Squash is first cousin to the Cucumber, and should be planted and raised in the same manner. Squash, however, is usually planted later. The bush varieties of Squash can be planted five feet apart, but the running winter varieties should be eight to ten.

TOMATOES
Tomatoes are planted indoors in a window garden about the first of March. When the third leaf of a plant has formed, put the plant into a three-inch pot or box. After all danger of frost is over, the plants may be set in the ground. Do not, plant Tomatoes within three feet of any other crop. Dig holes three feet apart and deep enough to allow placing the plant an inch or two deeper than it was in the pot. Cover the top of the pot with your fingers, holding the stem of the plant between them; then turn the pot upside down, tapping it with a trowel or other tool, when the plant will easily come out. Place it in the ground, pressing fine earth around it; if the earth is dry, water it as soon as the plants are set. Some people, before trans- planting Tomatoes, put a narrow ring of heavy paper loosely around the plant, just at the top of the soil, to keep off cutworms. June 1st is the usual time for transplanting in northern latitudes. Tie the growing plants to stakes. We will have plants ready in May and June.

FLOWERS
IN AFTER-TH E-WAR TIMES
OOD WON .THE WAR, but food was not the goal. It was only ammunition. The war was for the souls of people and peoples. And while we raise potatoes and* cabbages to feed the flesh, the spirit must not be forced to wait till the second table. The soul should sit at meat along with the body. Shall we banish flowers from our gardens?
Can we afford to cut music out of our life’s program? Cabbages are of the rank and file of the flghting forces, but Poppies are the regimental band. Flowers are for solace in the serious busi- ness of hoeing Cabbages and killing the worms thereon. Potatoes we need for food, but Pansies we must have for thoughts.
It would be to Germanize our land if we cut gay color out of our gardens and left the gardener only the drab business of serving tables. The wondrous structure of the Cabbage may be worth long medita- tion; but we do not meditate upon it. The Rose compels meditation. Flowers on the mantel are incense offered to the soul of the house — the home. If Germany had thoroughly subdued America, a home would not have been needed. A house and a cabbage patch would have been sufficient.
As war was a sad business, so the period of reconstruction will be a serious one. But it needs no professional landscape crepe- hangers. Dots and dashes, belts and splashes of color, are needed in our landscape more than ever. We owe a whole season of garden cheer to the eye of the passer-by in our neighborhood. Dooryard color is Red Cross bounty. It is first aid to the war-sick mind and broken spirit. By taking thought, the householder can have a succession of color growing about his house from spring frost to autumn frost, and this without subtracting at all from the time he should give to the food garden. The heart will And spare moments for flower culture. Keep the home gardens blooming. — Adapted from the Minneapolis Journal.

Speaking of fertilizing the garden: Good, rich soil
promotes rapid growth. The more rapidly vegetables grow, the more tender they will be. Slow growth favors the development of tough, woody fiber. And this is not all. Earliness is everything to the Market Gardener, and is prized very highly by the Home Gardener. This is gained by planting in rich soil.

NOT FBEFAID
These varieties are all of established merit, home- grown and very suitable for our Western planters.
When shipping by freight or express we can select the larger and stronger plants. Special Cultural Leaflet on Small Fruits free.
STRAWBERRIES
Strawberries are a hardy plant; they do well in almost any soil or climate, and are not much given to disease, nor over-esteemed by bugs. Newly turned sod land, however, is not recommended for them. They grow exceptionally well on land previously used for corn, toma- toes or other well-cultivated vegetable crops. Buy one-year-old plants, as near home as you can, and get them into the ground as soon as you can after you buy them. Strawberry plants advertised as cheap are cheapest when let alone; buy good ones. Before planting, dip the roots in water. Set the plant with the crown or bud at the surface of the ground. If it is under the ground, the plant will not grow; if it is too high, the plant will dry up and die. Cover the plants with cut grass and brushwood from the first of December to the first of May. During the year each plant sends out runners, which grow new plants for the next year. These are to be separated from the parent plant as soon as well rooted.

INSECTS AND PLANT DISEASES
HOW TO FIGHT THEM
Plant enemies are of two kinds — insects and diseases. The former are of two kinds, (a) insects winch chew or eat the leaves or fruit; (b) insects winch suck the juices therefrom. Plant diseases also are of two kinds, (a) those which result from the attack of some fungus or germ; (b) those which attack the whole organism of a plant and are termed “constitutional.” The remedy to be used must depend upon the nature of the enemy to be fought. The matter can be reduced to the following classification :

By using this table the gardener will he able to tell at a glance the method of fighting any enemy the presence of which is known or anticipated. The list is for- midable. but most of the pests mentioned probably will not appear.
Many Denver gardeners report the destruction of tender young plants by the cut worm. The cut worm is per- haps the most annoying of all garden pests. He works at night, attacks the strongest and healthiest plants and Is content simply to cut them off, eating much. The quickest and best remedy in small garden.s is hand-pick- ing The worms may be found at night with the aid of a lantern, or early in the morning. In daytime they can be found by digging about the soil wher- ever cut worm work is found.
One of the best methods where only a few plants are put out, is to protect each by a collar of heavy or tar paper.

THE HOUSE FOR QUALITY
SEED POTATOES
Potatoes should be planted in May and early June. T h e rows should be over two feet apart. Dig the fur- rows six inches deep, hoeing into every ten feet of furrow a half-pint of comm ercia 1 fertilizer. Cut pieces of po- tato with two eyes to a piece, place the pieces a foot apart in the furrow, and cover them two inches deep with soil, pressing it down with the hoe. As the plants grow, heap the soil slightly a f te r them. Do not spare tilling, and be on
guard against potato bugs. When the tops die, the potatoes are ready to harvest.
It is too early in the season to make prices for large lots. Small
quantities we can supply as follows: 4 lbs., 25c; 10 lbs., 60o; postage
extra.
Early Ohio, pink skin, oblong, early and reliable.
Busset, or Netted Burbank, oblong, heavy producer.
Bed Peacbblow, or Bed McClure, general crop variety.
Cbas. Downing, large white, medium early, general crop.
Mammoth Pearl, large white, excellent for dry land.
STERLINGWORTH NO-SCAB destroys the potato scab; costs 40c per pint bottle; not prepaid.
FORMALDEHYDE for use on potato seed. One pint bottle, 60c. Trial size bottle, 25c.
TUBULAR HAND POTATO PLANTER is useful when putting in your potato crop; costs $1.45; not prepaid; 7 lbs.
Planting too much in a small garden is a mistake. A few things well chosen and cared for will repay you better.

OUR “DEPENDABLE” LINE POULTRY FOOD MIXTURES
We have special facilities for mixing our grains. A power Cleaning Mill enables us to clean the grains and also blow out dust and objectionable matter. We pride ourselves In putting out strictly first-class mixtures — full weight — honest values. Compare our goods with others.
Prices in this department are governed by the grain market values, thus we print prices for small lots and invite you to see our “Current Price List” for quantity prices. Call, phone or write us any time.
“Dependable Grade” Mixed Hen Feed
This is our leading, well-balanced food, consisting of wheat, corn, cracked corn, kaffir, barley, oats, with some sunflower, bone and charcoal all of suitable proportions to supply in full the necessary elements for kealth and egg production. When you feed this mixture in straw or dry litter you do not need the numerous separate grain feeds. We challenge the market to show any better feed at equal price. 5-lb. pkg., 25c; IQi^-lb. pkg., 50c; 22-lb. pkg., $1.00.
“Dependable C
This is our hobby as an egg producer. It con- sists of thirteen ingredi- ents mixed by us as sug- gested by Experimental Poultry Farm experts.
Protein ingredients such as- blood meal, gluten meal, fine bone, fine beef meal, etc., are used with ground oats, bran, alfalfa meal, etc. When this mixture is fed regularly each day, grand results are almost certain. Do not confuse this with other “Mash Foods” — none others have our formula. 5 lbs., 25c; 11 lbs., 50c; 23 lbs., $1.00.
“Dependable Grade” Little Chick Feed
This is a great lifesaver for the little fellows. It is very nutritious and is easily digested by chicks even two days old. The charcoal in it prevents bowel troubles and the little grit aids the crop at once. This mixture, made by us under our own established formula, makes it a perfect dry chick food. Many of the “old-time” poultrymen depend on our “Dependable Grade” for exclusive feed for four to six weeks, then use our Growing and Forcing Chick Feed. We use first grade cracked grain, with hemp, canary, millet, etc. 3% lbs., 25c; 8 lbs., 50c.
“Dependable Grade” Growing and Forcing Chick Feed
This is a yery nutritious feed for chicks from six weeks to three months old. The ingredients are small grains, with bone, charcoal, etc., all of which are to hasten growth. It is not a special egg food. You need this after chicks are too large for Little Chick Peed. SVz lbs., 25c; 8 lbs., 50c.
Miscellaneous Grains
In this particular class of feed the values are changing almost daily. When 100 lbs. or more are wanted we fill at market price. Always glad to quote on application. We make no charge for sacks and deliver promptly in the city or to any freight depot in Denver. Be sure to ask for our latest prices when you are ready to buy.

Have a Garden! Keep Poultry!
A small investment in seeds brings big returns.
“A dozen hens in every back yard,” is the government slogan. A few layers will consume your table scraps and give you fresh eggs in return.
By comparison you will note that this catalog contains more varieties of seeds priced at 5c and less per packet than other price lists.
