FRENCH FORCING CARROT

THE PRICES IN THIS CATALOGUE CANCEL ALL PREVIOUS PRICES. AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE

MORSE’S SEEDS NOW 5c PER PACKET

All Prices in Catalogue are Plainly Marked

Back to the old price of 5c — the established pre-war price.

Our seeds are sold at about the same as 1917 and 1918 prices, and a moment’s comparison will convince you that, taking the increased cost of all materials into consideration, our prices are low. At no time has there been profiteering in seeds If you could buy shoes or clothes at 1917 prices, you would be happy indeed — you can buy Morse s Seeds from this catalogue.

Vegetables in the stores are high — two or three times their former cost. The soil will produce as much as ever — therefore buy and plant seed and grow your own vegetables. You will make money, save expense, and gain happiness.

fJXCorse’s Seeds are of the same high quality now as in the past. Their reputation was made on quality, and this they have and will maintain. Our seed crops are carefully culled of all poor types — “rogueing” we call it — when the crops are growing. Constant selection and improvement is carried on at our ranches.

MORSE’S HOME COLLECTION OF VEGETABLES

The HOME COLLECTION is our idea of the best home garden sorts of vegetable seeds, sure to give universal satisfaction.

Add what other vegetables you want, and there will be some for everybody, only they will not all be the same. But make this the nucleus: ONE HOME COLLECTION, 95c.

one packet each of —

BEANS, Kentucky Wonder — A stringless pole bean.

FOREWORD

After the stress of war conditions, we are glad to greet all of our Customers and Friends We have expanded— simply had to expand to meet the war demands— and today our seed acreage is larger, and our equipment to handle orders promptly is better than in 1916

MORSE’S SEEDS STAND FOR QUALITY, and that is what every purchaser must have To grow good vegetables you must have good seed as a foundation.

Morse’s Seed Ranches are located in the San Juan Valley near the old Mission town of San Juan Bautista. Here nature has placed rich soil, and we have added every modern appliance for farming and seed cleaning. Pay us a call at our farm when you have time.

Turn to page 7 and read about our care in breeding one tomato. Constantly this work is bein'* done. All vegetables are kept at the best type by our repeated selections. Morse’s seed is acclima°- tized because it is home grown, and that is another big factor. It is pre-eminent for germination trueness to type, and good yields. We believe you are interested in ranching and gardening and need our seed, and we respectfully solicit your order from this Catalogue. We will serve you well and faithfully, and you will have seed you can rely upon.

Faithfully- yours,

/(a..

Vlewa on our Seed Banch at San Juan, California There are over 1,000 acres on this ranch all devoted to raising Morse ’s Seeds.

HOW TO ORDER BY MAIL

MORSE’S SEEDS

ON COMMISSION

INSIST ON MORSE’S NAME ON YOUR PACKETS, IF YOU

WANT THE BEST |

Morse ’s Seeds ready for immediate purchase direct from their new box of Seeds on commission. These are to be found in practically all the general stores throughout the Southern States, the Pacific Coast and the Northwest Territory. There are very few stores in this territory which do not carry one or more of these metal racks with Morse’s seeds.

Our close attention to this department and our determination to serve the people efficiently has developed an immense busi- ness. In many respects the Commission Box department is a distinct and unique method of operating the seed business, but the seed that the planter buys from us is just the same whether he buys it from the box, the catalogue or the store.

The papering of seeds for our commission boxes rep- resents the handling of millions of flat papers and car- tons. The best seeds we produce, and also the freshest, go into these commission box assortments.

In ordering seeds from the store, be sure to insist on having Morse’s.

YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.— Be very sure that your name and address in full are written very plainly.

CASH WITH ORDER. — The proper way is to send remittance in full to cover order and postage. We send orders C. O. D. only if 25 per cent of the amount or order is enclosed. Plants we never send out C. O. D.

REMITTANCES should be made by Post-office Money Order, Express Money Order, or by Bank Draft on San Prancisco. For amounts up to one dollar, clean, unused postage stamps will be accepted. Coin should not be sent by mail. Checks on local banks may be sent, which will be a great convenience to many customers. We do not accept responsibility for orders which never reach us.

SHIPPING. — We will use our best judgment as to the best way of sending orders when specific directions are not given. If special directions in shipping are needed, send them explicitly, and where express or freight office is different from post-office, so state in space on our order Sheet. Paris Green, Nico Fume and other poisons are not mailable, nor are liquids like Electric Worm Eradicator and other insecticides; they must go by express or freight. Seeds do not pack well with nursery stock, because they are liable to get damp and become spoiled; it is better tr

have them shipped separately.

ZONE RATES may be had by application to your postmaster, who will tell you the zone which you are in with reference to San Francisco, or we will tell you as nearly as we can if you write us.

NON- WARRANTY: Note.— There are so many contingencies to be encountered in growing plants from seed and in setting out plants that are dependent on the weather and other conditions over which we have no control, that success in planting is not altogether dependent on the seed or plant. We will send out only seed which we believe will grow and produce the kind of plant and variety represented, but:

O, C. Morse & Oo. give no warranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, balba, plants or trees they send out, and they will not be responsible in any way for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods on these terms, they are at once to be retamed-

The information given here is as accurate as can he gathered allowing for the different ways of planting and different distances practiced in various parts of the coast. The usual distances are here given and the planter must use his judgment for his particular case. Where garden cultivation is by wheel hoe, the greater distance is better employed, and where it is by hand work, the smaller dis- tance or even less may be better. If the patch will be cultivated by horse, the distances in the field culture column should be used.

SOIL CONDITIONS GOVERN DEPTH

The depth at which to plant seed cannot be given more than approximately because it varies so much with the condition of the moisture in the soil and the time of year. All seeds must have air, moisture and heat to germinate. Five times the diameter of the seed is approximately right for good conditions, but for sowing in the rainy season and in wet soils that is too deep, and for sowing the same seed in the dry season it is too shallow. For field culture, sow comparatively deep late in the spring and when the ground is becoming dry. The Seed Drill must get the seed to moist earth, and if rain is not expected it must be rolled or otherwise well firmed to get the soil packed tightly around. This will aid germination greatly. Firm soils which are heavy or wet only lightly. Seed to be

sown in dry soil may be soaked for two or three hours only in tepid water, to hasten it. Such seed will not then go through a drill.

“S” placed in the column of “Time for Sowing about San Francisco and Central California ’ ’ means that those sorts are sown for succession. Usually the plantings are made two weeks apart. Other sorts are often planted early and again late for crops at two different seasons.

“T” placed in the same column of “Time for Sowing about San Francisco,” means that those sorts which are always started in boxes or beds and later transplanted.

“T” placed in the column of “Quantity of Seed Needed for 1 Acre,” is to mark those sorts which are usually sown in beds and later transplanted to the garden, and always transplanted to the field. These are sown without heat or with but very little, excepting Egg Plant, Pepper and Tomato, which require heat to do well.

DEFINITION OF SEASONS

There is inserted a column of comparative dates for those who live in the mountains and where winters are cold. There are three terms used there, which we define as follows:

“Early Spring,” means as soon as buds in the trees begin to swell and the ground can be worked into gar-

dening condition. This may be in March or April. Frosts have not passed, and such plants, if not too succulent, will stand a frost.

‘ ‘ Spring ’ ’ refers to those vegetables which are not so hardy as the above, and which are usually planted later because they do so much better planted later. If for any reason early planting is necessary, they can be put in a week after the foregoing.

“Late Spring,” is the time of the year when the ground is well warmed and all frosts are passed. This probably will be in May.

“Early Summer” means planting in June and July. HOT-BEDS EASILY MADE

HOT-BEDS for forcing plants are best made in the fol- lowing manner: Dig out a space the size of your frame to a depth of two feet. Into this put fresh horse manure mixed with a good deal of bedding straw to a depth of one foot or 18 inches. Tread this down well and on top spread 10 inches of good soil mixed with sand. The frame is just four sides of 1-inch board and made to slope toward the South from 18 inches at back, to 15 to 12 inches at front. The distance from front to back is three feet and the frame is as long as required. Put over this glazed sash, which can be hinged at back. This sash is raised

during the day to prevent the bed over-heating and the plants from growing tall, spindly and weak. The sash must be white-washed or covered with a sack if the sun gets too hot. Sow the seed in rows from front to back and they will quickly start. Care must be taken to give ventilation each day or the plants will damp off, and when ready to plant out, lift the sash higher each succeeding day so as to harden the plants. Water most carefully. Set the frame in a sunny spot sheltered from the prevail- ing wind.

COLD FRAMES FOR CALIFORNIA

For general California conditions, that is but very slight cold, the bed does not need to be so hot. Mix the fresh horse manure with a good amount of chaff or dry leaves so that it will be less hot. Also sow the seed in little boxes, about 18 by 15 inches, in prepared soil. These boxes make the plants easy to handle and the boxes can be raised and a board put under them if the ground be- comes too hot. There is also an advantage in using cloth instead of glass to cover the frames, as this is less liable to let the plants overheat. A cold frame is the same as a hot-bed plaeed on the even ground, and in which no horse manure has been added to give heat. This is good to start early cabbage and the other early vegetable plants except Egg Plant, Pepper and Tomato.

SAN TOSE CANNER TOMATO

The Perfect California Tomato

This Tomato is preeminently the best vari- ety for our climate as compared with all the existing American list. This year among a test trial of over fifty varieties, San Jose Canner produced the sturdiest vine, the best shaped, best colored leaves, the strongest stems and by far the finest, largest, smooth- est, best and brightest pure scarlet fruit and the largest quantity of it per given acre. The fruit shows the best arrangement of pulp and seed cells which assures the largest amount of highly flavored, tempered acidity. It is decidedly superior for the canner as well as the house garden.

Mr. J. F, Pyle of San Jose

San Jose Canner was named and intro- duced by us in 1914. It was propagated and developed, however, by J. F. Pyle, of the well known and popular firm of San Jose canners, J. F. Pyle & Son. Mr. Pyle secured it originally, years ago, from a careful Italian market grower, but Mr. Pyle developed it by selection.

Since it came into our hands we have been constantly at work on it at our Trial Grounds. Each year we select individual plants, well isolated from a'l other varieties. These plants are always chosen for perfect shape, size, vigor and color, and these must be pro- lific producers of perfect fruit, chosen for large size, smoothness and must be well ripened to the stem and free from all signs of disease or blemish. From these plants only the largest and most supremely perfect fruits are chosen for our No. 1 selection. Then these fruits are cut open and reselected for perfect cell formation, it being well known by tomato specialists that in the evolution of the fruit, tomatoes have progressed from the old two and three celled fruit to eight and ten cells, and these so distributed that the cells are not long and flat 'at the margin, causing a thin, soft margin which would cause the fruit to get mushy and the skin to split. After this reselecting of the cut-open fruits, we then choose one model tomato, a perfect specimen which is called the “mother,” and the seed from this one solitary fruit is planted carefully and the selecting process carried on the following year.

While the seed from selection No. 1, the second year, is sent to our Tomato Specialist to grow our general crop, all of our “mother” fruit progeny is kept on our own grounds and all of our selecting and development work is done by ourselves.

Our work has been rewarded, since the most careful Tomato grow- ers and the most critical canners come to us for their seed in very large quantities, and to their credit we are pleased to inform our readers they tell us frankly that it is quality they want and they offer no criticism as to price. They seem to realize what this work costs us and are willing that we should be properly rewarded. After all, it only takes one ounce of seed to produce plants enough to set

Novelties for 1920. C. C. Morse <2& Co.

MORSE’S TENDER-POD BEAN

IS ABSOLUTELY STRINGLESS

Instead of telling you what we think of this splendid new sort, we are going to let those speak who have tried this bush bean.

Napa, Cal.

“The Tender-Pod Beans have proven most satisfactory in every respect. They are of most delicious flavor, large in size, stringless, and of pleasing color, being a light sage green. The bush is a vigorous upright grower of a rich dark green color, almost attractive enough for ornamental purposes, and at the same time a heavy cropper. F. L. McD.’’

San ' Jose, Cal.

“I find them ( Morse’s Tender-Pod Beans ) to be of excellent quality, a vigorous grower, hardy and yielding well, with well formed beans; they cook well, and are delicious. They come nearest of all the bush beans to the quality of that standard of pole beans — the Kentucky Wonder — of any- thing I have seen. It is something every one should have in their garden.

G. A. B.’’ Sacramento, Cal.

‘ ‘ I gave the Stringless Beans you sent to me a thorough test, and found them at all stages of growth absolutely stringless. Five friends, to whom I gave some of my crop, also gave high approval of them. The bean is a heavy cropper of large sized flat pods and of excellent flavor.

B.A.B.’’ FLedwood City, Cal.

“Morse’s Tender-Pod Bush String Beans are the best yet. No other bush bean for me hereafter, and they are very prolific. F. E.’’

Jackson, Cal.

‘ ‘ The packet of bean seed you kindly gave me this Spring was just fine. I gathered 6 lbs. from them in two pickings. Not a string, and delicious. Would like the name, to order more for next year. I thank you very much.

Mrs. J.F.”

Pkt. 20c. lb. 50c. 10 lbs. $1.50

FRENCH GREEN BEAN (Haricot Verts)

In 1918 we introduced this splendid bean. Last year, because of poor crops, we could not supply any seed, and had to leave this variety from our list, to the great disappointment of many of our customers.

The French Green Bean is prized all over France as a delicious flavored shelled bean, either green or dry. It has a thin skin, is light greenish white in color, and is most attractive and delicious when cooked. It is as good as a string bean if picked when young, but as a shelled bean, it is famous. Plant is of bush type.

Pkt. 20c. lb. 50c. 10 lbs. $4.00.

GREELEY WONDER, MUSKMELON

“What is this melon?” exclaimed an excited produce merchant, who came into our store one day. ‘ ‘ It sells for a dollar more a crate than others, and the buyers are eager for them. ’ ’ He wanted to get some seed to plant next year.

Greeley Wonder is an unsurpassed home garden melon, too, and per- fect for a shipping sort. Bound, medium, early, and flesh the brightest orange clear to the rind and most delicious in flavor. A prolific variety, and one which should be in every garden.

Pkt. 15c. Oz. 80c. y2-lb. $4.25. Write for prices on larger lots.

GIANT MARROW KALE

This yields a great amount of green feed either for cattle or for poultry. Each leaf has a stem which is thick and succulent. These leaves may be pulled off as they grow and fed. The kale grows about 5 feet high and as it matures the stem swells, and will be found to be filled with a very rich marrow. A most nutritious and excellent cattle food. These stems are stored in cold countries in frost proof sheds for winter feeding.

The culture is the same as for cabbage. For a continuous crop of leaves keep the seed stems cut off as soon as they appear. Collards is most like this new kale, but Giant Marrow Kale will yield over four times as much in leaves.

“This is quite similar to Hairy Vetch, and might be easily mistaken for it, although the leaves are less hairy. The flowers are pur- ple in color, quite fragrant, and the plant matures two or three weeks earlier than Hairy Vetch. It may be used in very much the same way and not found inferior to it, although it makes its growth early in the season during cold weather.’’ — The State College of Wash- ington.

“Woolly Podded Vetch is closely related to Hairy Vetch and is equally hardy. Wherever we have tested it alongside of purple vetch and common vetch as a cover crop it has done equally as well. It bears numerous dense clusters of fragrant flowers that attract bees in great numbers. It matures from 2 to 3 weeks earlier than Hairy Vetch and earlier than common vetch.

“As a winter grower in California, both in the north and south, it will equal if not surpass any of the vetches. We can recommend it very highly for forage and for a cover crop.” — P. B. Kennedy, Grass and Forage Plant Investigations, University of California, Berke- ley, California.

If you want an extra strong-growing cover crop try this new winter-growing Vetch. Grows easily, stands cold, and matures early. It will add hundreds of dollars’ worth of fertilizer to your soil.

Per Ih. 40c; 10-lh. $3.50; 100-lb. $30.00.

SWEET FODDER SUDAN GRASS

Produces an immense tonnage of extremely rich and palatable fodder, ideal for silage or direct feeding as fodder. Developed by Richard Die- ner, plant breeder, from the now well-known Sudan Grass. Its amazing forage production, combined with abundance and richness of the seed, proves it to be the Forage beyond com- pare. Planted in the San Joaquin Valley in three-foot rows and suitably irrigated, plants de- veloped normal height of 9 to 10 feet, stems abundant and branching, heads long, heavy, nu- merous and rich.

Sweet Fodder Sudan has stems nearly as sweet as sweet sorghum, but tender and eagerly con- sumed by stock even when fully ripe. Quick maturing like other Sudan, and when kept irri- gated will continue to send out side stems and new heads till frost, or can be cut and will make new growth.

Seed was ripe in July from April planted crop; this seed planted first week in August, made 7 to 8 foot plants for forage before frost. Typical plant, early Sep- tember test gave 20 stems, % inches or less in diameter, 50 mature heads weighing 31 ounces, 13 of them weigh- ing a pound, and 18 green heads weighing 2 ounces each; cut and topped fodder 6 to 8% feet long weighed 7 pounds. Farm stock ate every particle. Seed large; chicks and grown fowls love it. Two pounds in 3-foot rows will seed an acre.

Per lb. $1.00; 10 lbs. $9.00; 100 lbs. $80.00.

WATERMELON, IRISH GREY

C. C. Morse Co.

WOOLLY- PODDED WINTER VETCH (Vicia dasycarpa)

This new melon is very productive, and is a great shipper. Irish Grey is oblong, and when well grown averages about 30 pounds in weight. The skin is a yellowish gray and very tough. The flesh is bright pink, the same as most “red” watermelons, and is very firm but not hard or stringy, and is of good quality.

Irish Grey will ship to any market, even Boston, and arrive in perfect Condition. There will be no poor melons when they get into the customer’s hands. Notice in the photograph how this melon can be sliced thin and still not have the flesh break because it is so firm. That slice is % inch thick.

Irish Grey is a new and valuable shipping melon and extremely productive of good melons.

The proper distances to set rows of the different plants in gardens will be given with each sort. Do not overcrowd but leave space for good development. Sow small seeds of vegetables not over Yl >nch deep and keep soil regularly moist by watering. The proper depth to sow is given in the table on pages 4 and 5. Remember that no seed can come up through a crust caused, for instance, by a north wind. Replanting in such a case will probably be necessary. Plants which require heat will not start in damp, cold ground; wail till conditions are better or choose another situation. Firm the soil after planting. Watch for cut worms and slugs. Keep the ground cultivated and crops growing fast; this means tender vegetables.

Well known standard varieties which have been thoroughly tried and can be depended on are indicated by larger type.

ARTICHOKES

Artichokes are cultivated for the edible bud, which resembles a giant thistle. The plants want a very rich soil and plenty of moisture. In California the seed should be planted in boxes in Jan- uary and the young plants transplanted in March or April. While plants usually bear for five or six years, it is advisable to start new ones occasionally. They do not, however, come wholly true from seed, and it is necessary to discard a good many plants, using the best ones only for propagating. Plants bear next spring; the seed in two years. Set three feet apart in three to five foot rows. Jerusalem or Tuberous-Rooted Artichoke. Entirely distinct, and grown exclusively for their large potato-like roots, which are valuable for feeding hogs, the yield often exceeding two tons per acre. The tubers are also an excellent vegetable. Can supply January to March only. Plant 5 sacks per acre. Per lb. 20c; 10 lbs. $1.50; 100 lbs. $5.00.

ASPARAGUS SEED and ROOTS

To raise plants from seed about one pound per acre is re- quired, or one ounce for about 800 plants. Sow early in the spring in drills 12 to 14 inches apart and thin to about three inches in the row. Allow the plants to grow two full seasons and then transplant to permanent beds. It requires about 3000 plants to set an acre. When set out for crop, in the field or in beds, they require plenty of room, since the plants spread from the root, and therefore grow larger each year. In the field the

CULTURE FOR BEANS

Beans require a light, friable soil, with plenty of moisture, and they are very sensitive to frost. In California they should not he sown earlier than April 15. In the garden the soil should be made mellow and rich, and kept so, and all pole varieties should be pro- vided wi.th poles or a trellis on which to climb. For a garden crop plant string beans in succession every four weeks throughout the season. Sow in rows 18 inches to 24 inches apart, and cover from 1 to 2 inches deep, but not more. Keep the pods picked and the vines well watered and the beans will continue bearing much longer than if the vines are allowed to become dry. Hoe the rows occasionally For farm crop plant about 25 pounds pole beans per acre, in rows 36 inches apart; plant bush beans about 35 pounds per acre in rows 24 inches apart. Heavy clay or adobe soils are not best for beans. For the home garden there should be a succession of five or six varieties to provide the table with early, medium and late beans. Use one pound of seed for 100 feet or rows.

LIMA BEANS

Lima beans are delicious when used green shelled, and can be grown for this purpose in any climate. The dry ripened bean is also a staple article of food for winter use, but in California these beans ripen only from San Luis Obispo County and south to Pasadena. The best territory for seed beans we believe to be Santa Barbara and Yentura counties, where we grow our stock. Sow bush sorts in 24-inch rows and pole varieties in hills 4 feet each way. Sow late after ground is well warmed in spring. Limas will not thrive planted in over-moist soil. Have the ground well prepared and well warmed, but do not water when planting.

BUSH VARIETIES

Burpee Improved Bush ™J, c£T * T “E,

which measure from live to six inches long by one and one-quarteT inches wide. As compared with the original Burpee Bush Lima, both pods and beans are very much larger, while the beans, either green or dry, are nearly twice as thick. The beans have the same luscious flavor as the best flavored Limas, and are ready to use six to eight days earlier. It will outyield the Burpee Bush Lima by fully one-third, this greater yield being due to the in- creased size of pod and beans.

Slebert’s Early. A standard early variety, with good-sized pods and large beans. Pkt. 15c; lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.75.

The following is a bit of truth gleaned from a prominent horticultural paper:

‘ ‘ For example, the marked difference in freshness and table quality of the home garden grown vegetables as compared with the same article purchased in the average store is of itself sufficient to justify the effort and make the labor involved well worth while.

Some up-country folks have a saying, ‘The pot should be boiling before you pick your corn.’ This say has a solid basis of fact, for sweet corn will lose 50 per cent of its sugar and consequent sweetness of taste in twenty-four hours after gathering. If you doubt this, just pull a dozen ears of corn at 11 o'clock, cook six for the noonday meal and let the other six lay on the cellar floor and cook the next day. The same in more or less degree applies to almost everything

wg grow.”

CABBAGE

Easier to raise at home than most people think

Good cabbages are to be had at all seasons of the year in some parts of the country, and seed can be planted almost any time of the year. There are three good seasons for sowing the seed, however — in September for late winter and early spring cabbages, in March for summer and fall cabbages, and in June and July for winter cabbages. The seed sprouts quickly, and is likely to come up very thick in the seed bed. It should be thinned early and each plant given plenty of space or the plants will become spindling, and then do not head well. Never let the plants get cheeked by drouth. Transplant to the field when 4 to 5 inches high, and press the soil closely about the plants. They should be put 18 to 24 inches apart, in rows 24 to 36 inches apart. To prevent the heads splitting open in the field before they are ready to be harvested, the plants should be loosened a little at the root. Cabbages require considerable moisture, but too much water causes them to rot very readily.

during the year -A X V«^ A WJ AND STOCK

Good, sandy loam is best adapted for carrots of all varieties. The shorter varieties, however, can be sown on heavier lands, with good results. For garden, sow the early and short varieties at any time after January 1st and repeat often for a succession of tender roots. For general crop sow in the open field about April 1st, using four to six pounds per acre for rows sixteen to eighteen inches apart. While you get a good uniform root by thinning the young plants, it is not necessary to do so to get a crop of good, average carrots. Keep the soil hoed and the crop growing rapidly. No bugs or blights affect carrots, and every garden needs some.

CAULIFLOWER

The planting of cauliflower is easy and is much the same as that of cabbage. It does not make a good summer crop, however, as it will not head up well in hot weather. Cauliflower is especially popular as a fall and winter crop, and with market gardeners proves a profitable crop, owing to the scarcity of good market vegetables when cauliflower is at its best. It is easy to grow in the garden, providing the soil is made rich and porous. The young plants should be thinned, since they become very spindling if allowed to grow too thick and never thoroughly recover. Set in 24-inch rows, 20 inches apart.

CELERY

Celery requires water, and lots of it, from the time the seed i s sown in boxes in March until the crop is pulled in the autumn or winter. The seed is slow to germinate, and the soil where it is planted needs to be kept very wet. As soon as the young plants are about one and one-half inches high, they should be transplanted to get good, sturdy plants before they are finally set in the garden or field. When the plants are well grown and large the so il needs to be drawn up around the plants, first tying them at the top or wrapping with a piece of sacking to prevent the earth getting between the stems. As fast as the plants grow above the soil, the earth wants to be hilled around them again to get a full growth of well-blanched stems. The great celery growing centers are located in swampy, peat districts. Use one ounce of seed to 15,000 plants, or two ounces per acre. Set in 24-inch to 30-inch rows.

Columbia. A very line variety for home markets and private gardens. The stalks are very thick and almost round.

CORN

Sweet or Table Varieties

Contrary to the general belief corn is raised successfully in most of California. It makes a profitable field crop and sweet corn is a delicious garden vegetable. Nothing quite equals it. Corn is at its very best only when picked and eaten within an hour.

As corn is very' sensitive to frost, it cannot be planted with any degree of safety until about the mid- dle of April, except in sections that are notably free from late frost. Moist, rich soil is best for corn, and

frequent hoeing or cultivating improves it. The small, hut rich, mountain valleys seem especially favorable for good table corn.

In cutting corn for the table it is important that it be picked at just the right time, especially when

not too old. Frequent small plantings of the several varieties in succession will keep a good supply avail-

able for the table all summer. Plant in hills three feet each way, and often four feet is better, and even five feet for some varieties. Do not let the plants overcrowd. Thin to 3 plants to a hill. Sow 15 lbs. per acre. Small plantings must be in a square block or the cobs will not fill evenly.

Write for prices in larger quantities than here quoted Black Mexican. Although when ripe the seed is dark bluish or black, when ready for table use it is white. It is of especially fine sweet flavor and very tender; medium early. The cobs have 10 rows of kernels and the variety Alls well. Pkt. 15c; lb. 60c; 10 lbs. $5.00.

Early

Country Gentleman or Shoe Peg

Has a long white cob, closely tilled with long small “shoe peg” kernels. Is remarkably line flavored and sweet, and is frequently used by canners. Many people consider Country Gentle- man as about the best of the late corns, and cer- tainly is of the very highest merit. The stalk is tall. Plant other sorts for early and this for late.

Pkt. 15c; lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.75.

CROSBY’S EARLY. A line, early variety, growing about four feet in height. Kernels smaller than on Cory, having 14 rows to each ear. A rattling good sort. Pkt. 15c; lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.25.

Mammoth or Alamorla TWs sort ls very lar&ely grown in lYiammom or rtiameoa Alameda county. The ears are long

and very large, and well tilled with 10 ^o 14 rows. The variety is medium early and of good quality. Pkt. 16c; lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.25.

EARLY MINNESOTA. Between Crosby’s and Cory’s in earliness. Stalks about live feet high; ears long and eight-rowed. Pkt. 15c; lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.25.

Early Red Cob Cory. Pkt. 15c; lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.25.

Early Vacaville. Morse’s. Splendid new sweet variety, especially valuable in foothill land. The cob is small and the flavor is especially delicious. Pkt. 20c; lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.00.

Early White Cob Cory. An extra early variety with remarkably white grains, especially when cooked. Ears are six to seven inches long. Kernels are large and placed in eight rows to each ear. If you are badly troubled by the corn-ear worm, try this variety. Pkt. 15c; lb. 45c; 10 lbs. $4.00.

C n!Jon Rantam A very ear)y variety. The ears are but medium size,

yjoiuen Ddnutm but are thickly set with delicious yellow kernels. The quality or this variety is superb, and it has become a general favorite early, sweet corn with all who have tried it. Golden Bantam and Golden Cream have a flavor distinct from other sorts, and if you have never tried these two sorts from your own garden you must plant them this year. Never , mind if the color is yellow, the color so often associated with Held corns, the rich nut-quality is here. Pkt. 15c; lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.75.

MORSE’S GOLDEN CREAM. The flavor of Morse’s Golden Cream is rich, nut-like and delicious, and better than other corns. It Is good enough to eat raw. Morse’s Golden Cream Is early, prolific and a line sort; seed yellow. Pkt. 15c; lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.75.

OREGON EVERGREEN. Earlier than Stowell’s Evergren, and like it, very sweet and line. Kernels are white, ears large. Nothing better for canning or for late crop. Pkt. 15c; lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.25.

STABLER’S EARLY. We recommend this as the finest small kerneled early sweet corn. Medium sized, prolific, white kernels, like pearly teeth; 14 rows to the ear. The kind or sweet corn which one most likes because the kernels' are small and the skin white and tender. An excellent table sort. Pkt. 16c; lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.75.

White Evergreen. Like Stowell’s Evergreen, only snow white. Pkt. 16c; lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.25.

STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. The most popular and best main crop variety, and a good all-round table variety. Of good, strong growth, about six feet high. Ears keep in condition for boiling for a remarkably long time. The quality Is excellent. Stowell’s Evergreen ls a late sweet corn, taking a good time to mature; 12 rows to the ear; kernels long and meaty and of fine quality. Stowell’s Evergreen is also used as a fodder corn on account of its succulent stalks. Pkt. 15o; lb. 35o; 10 lbs. $3.25.

MORSE’S CUCUMBERS

DANDELION

Cucumbers are sensitive to frost, and cannot be planted until the last of April. They require a great deal of water, and unless planted on very wet soil, will require frequent irrigation through- out the summer. Plant in hills four feet each way, dropping about twelve seeds in each hill. Later, when plants are well started, thin out, leaving only four or five of the strongest plants to each hill. Sow one-half inch deep. The soil should be made very rich with well-rotted stable manure, well spaded in.

Cucumbers are very easy to grow, and a few hills will produce an abundance for an average family. Keep the crop picked when large enough for use, whether required or not; if left to ripen, they will stop bearing, but if kept picked they will keep on.

The secret of good Kohl Rabi is to keep the plants growing quickly and to use the roots when 3 to 4 inches in diameter and before fully grown. The bulb grows above ground and leaves come from its sides.

Kohl Rabi has a flavor as much like a turnip as like cabbage. The seed should be planted in the open garden in 18-inch rows and the young plants thinned to four or six inches. It does not transplant well, unless when very small.

heading, crisp type, represented by Hanson, Iceberg and Los Angeles; the curly and thin-leaved Bunching or non-heading type, as black Seed Simpson, Grand Rapids, Prize Head, The Morse, and the Cos or Celery type. There are early, medium early and late varieties of each type, as well as those specially adapted for greenhouse, hotbed, winter, spring, summer and autumn uses. There is so great a difference in localities in regard to value of lettuce that a uniform rule of culture cannot be adopted. For the ordinary house garden it is desirable to use one variety of each type, and several- plantings should be made to secure a succession. The seed should be planted in rows 18 inches apart, as early as possible, and the young plants of cabbage varieties should be thinned to 8 to 10 inches apart. Varieties that do not head may be left quite thick and thinned out as used.

MUSKMELON OR CANTALOUPE

Plant hills in rich, moist land, using one ounce to 100 hills, or two to three pounds per acre. Six feet each way is a good distance for the hills. Sow the seed after all danger of frost is over and do not cover deeply. Thoroughly rotted manure should be deeply dug into each hill. Muskmelons require plenty of water, and if conditions are favorable, will make a strong, vigorous growth, and most varieties bear heavily. It is best to pick off the early runners to make the plant more stocky and thick. Wherever possible melons should be grown in the home garden, for the charm of a good melon is the flavor which only comes with melons fresh from the garden. Watch for plant lice and spray with tobacco. Experiment with several varieties, as some succeed better on heavy soils and some on light.

The culture of these melons is the same as for muskmelons. Three or four weeks’ longer time must be allowed for them to ripen.

Cassabas or Winter Muskmelons

These melons are more popular each season. Cassabas may be had in all the Eastern markets and they are the best restaurants. They may be kept as late as February, when all other fruits are rare. Cassabas have and hard to describe. They make an excellent base for salad, and are enjoyed either that way or as a fruit'.

f'rklrltkr* Roaiitir E4rly fruits ripen continuously from July on till VjulUCll peduiy frost comes. The later fruits can be stored in a cool house or cellar and will ripen slowly, so that they can be marketed from time to time un01 late in January.

HONEY DEW MELON Hybrid Cassaba

THE SWEETEST MELON OF ALL

This new melon of last year won the very highest praise from all. We are glad that we could introduce to California such a wonderful melon. This year the price is within the reach of all. Plant Honey Dew for your home gar- den and plant it for the market. The better known this melon is, the more will be sold each year.

Honey Dew is a medium sized melon, 5 to 6 pounds in weight, about 6 inches in diameter and slightly oblong. The skin is smooth. The color, while growing, is nearly white, and when ripe is a creamy yellow, sometimes a lemon yellow.

Honey Dew has very thick flesh, light em- erald green in color. It is fine grained, melting

and delicious, and Is good clear down to the rind. Sometimes the older Cassabas have a bland or cucumber flavor not enjoyed by many. Honey Dew is a melon which needs to be well ripened. If you: are growing them yourself you will see to this. Sometimes these melons are marketed when' unripe and that gives them a bad name, which they do not deserve. Honey Dew is as sweet as sugar and with a very deli- cate flavor — not musky at all.

The vines are strong growers and are pro- ductive. The melons slip from the vines when ripe, but may be picked just before they are ripe and stored in a cool place and then they will keep until Christmas. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; </4 lb. 75c; lb. $2.50.

WATERMELON

‘Delicious if thoroughly ripened before picking

Light, sandy or gravelly soil is necessary for the best watermelons. They seldom do well on heavy adobe or clay soils, and these lands should be avoided for watermelons as a farm crop. In the garden any soil can be made suitable by spading in each hill some well rotted manure and sand or loam.

Plant the seed about the middle of May, in hills about eight feet apart. Use five or six seeds to a hill and thin out to three plants as soon as the second or third leaf shows. Use about four ounces of seed to 100 hills, or as a farm crop, two to four pounds per acre.

A good watermelon is one of the finest fruits on earth. On a hot day — and it's always hot when watermelons are in bearing — there is nothing like a fresh, juicy, sweet watermelon. Some watermelons are much sweeter than others. There is no use in buying an old sort just because you are familiar with the name. Follow our advice as to the best melons, and you will write back and say: 1 had the best melons I ever had this year, from your Seed."

Varieties not listed here we don’t think worthy of a place, be they new or old, but we can supply many for commercial planting.

MORSE S ONION SEED

HOW TO GROW ONIONS FOR MARKET

For general crop the seed must be sown during the month of January or before February 1st, and, if the location is a fairly dry one, it is best to sow about the middle of December. The seed should be sown with a seed drill in rows 14 inches apart, using 4 to 4% pounds of seed per acre. In very weedy land the rows may be 18 to 20 inches apart, when less seed is required.

The land must be thoroughly worked before planting, and usually two good plowings, a good disking and a harrowing are necessary.

The crop must always be kept free from weeds, and it is usually necessary to weed out in the row by hand once or twice. Hoeing between the rows may be done oftener. It is not necessary to thin the plants in the row, since some thinning is naturally done during the hand weeding.

The land chosen for onions should be wet land, preferably loose, sandy loam or peat, and should always be kept well drained. Heavy adobe or clay soil is good, but needs to be irrigated in May, June and July. Steady, even growth is necessary to good onions, and a check in the growth, whether from disease or drought, causes them to run to seed badly. Onions are ready to harvest usually the latter part of August, when, with a good crop, the tops are pretty well ripened down. If the tops are still standing and green, it is well to run a light roller or plank over them to press the tops down, and the onions should be pulled in about ten days after this is done, whether the tops have dried off or not. It requires not' less than two full weeks to properly cure onions atfer they are pulled.

There are 6,570 acres planted to onions in California this year, and the Gov- ernment estimated yield is 137,791,800 pounds or 4,029 carloads. This is one- sixth of the onion crop for the entire United States. Most of the onion seed for the country is produced here in California. Our firm specializes in onion seed.

An average crop runs from 150 to 200 centals (15,000 to 20,000 lbs.) per acre. California Early Bed Onion

ONION SETS

Onion Sets are minature onion bulbs grown from seed. Plant near the surface in rows of 12 inches apart and six inches between the sets, using 250 pounds of sets per acre. When raised from sets, the onions can be used in the green state or may be ripened off for large onions, in which case they are fully six weeks earlier than when raised from seed. If used to grow large onions about one-half of the sets will run to seed instead of making bulbs. Break down the stems when the bulbs are of good size; this will make them ripen. Onion plants set out in April and May are better for late planting for onions. 40c per 100; $3.50 per 1000. Prices are subject to market fluctuations as the season advances.

They prefer very wet soil, and will thrive where carrots will not grow. A sandy soil is good, since the roots are very long, and are difficult to dig in stiff soil. Sow the seed thickly in the spring in 18 to 24 inch drills, using one-fourth ounce to 100 feet. In the field sow in rows 24 inches apart, using three pounds per acre.

Hnllnw Prnwn The most popular and best variety Tor all purposes. Skin smooth iiunuw V-'iuwii and white and flesh tender, while the root grows 18 to 20 Inches long-. The best part of it is contained in the first eight inches from the top. Our strain of Hollow Crown is the thick shouldered type called “Student” by some dealers. It is particularly fine, smooth and regular. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; y* lb. 45c; lb. $1.50.

CULTURE OF PEAS

Hollow Crown Parsnips

Peas are quite hardy and for early markets can be planted in the fall in protected places, and ripe peas can be had in February. They require moderately rich soil, but not excessively rich or wet, or they will run too much to vine and do not bear heavily. The seed needs to be planted thick, using from 80 to 150 pounds per acre for seed or vegetable crop, or one pound for 100 feet of row.

The dwarf varieties can be planted in rows 18 to 24 inches ap art, and the tall ones three feet. By using the various classes of peas, and by making several sowings of each, good peas can be ha d for a long season. In the garden the pods should be kept picked, as the plants will then continue to bear. All varieties have wrinkl ed seed except Alaska, First and Best, Marrowfat and Melting Sugar.

RHUBARB

A rich, sandy soil, wet but well drained, is best for rhubarb. While it is frequently propagated from seed, only a percentage comes true, but it is cheaper to grow from seed and discard untrue plants. The popular method, however, is to use young plants propagated from the crown. Set plants three feet by six. The best stems are produced the second year, but it continues to produce for several years. When the blossom stalk appears, it should be cut back well into the ground. Set the crowns of the plants so that they are two inches under the surface of the soil. This is important. Choose a place where the soil will be moist at all times.

SQUASH

If you have six hills of bush squashes you will get all you require for a family. The. squashes keep coming one during the entire summer. Don’t set them out too early. Wait until thorough warm and frostless weather has come.

Put a spadeful of well-rotted manure in each hill and dig it in well. Sow 8 or 10 seeds in a diameter of a foot and later thin to the best 3 plants. Bush squashes should be in hills 4 ft. apart; use 4 oz. of seed to 100 hills. Winter varieties with long vines should be planted in hills 6x8 feet apart; 8 oz. of seed will plant 100 hills; 2 to 3 lbs. per acre. The winter squashes do not mature until late in the fall, and, having a very firm, hard shell, keep well, and with a little care squashes can be had all winter and until late in the spring. In gathering winter squashes, it is important to keep the stems from being broken off.

A V/ XYX JTjL JL V_X supply a household

tomatoes should be id cm home gardens. They bear continuously from mid-summer until cut down by frost, and they are wonder- fully productive. Several good plants will supply a family with an abundance of fruit.

As tomatoes are very sensitive to frost they cannot be set in the open field until about May 1st. The seed must be sown in well- protected hotbeds, sowing same about March. 1st. A hardy and stocky plant is hail by transplanting the small plants in the bed a few weeks before transplanting to the field. Or when about four inches high the top may be pinched off and the plant grows stockier.

Sow the seed broadcast in a prepared bed, using one ounce to about 30 square feet of area, which will yield plants enough to set an acre. In the field set tall varieties six feet apart and dwarf varieties four feet apart. A slight trellis is advisable in the garden. Good soil produces the best fruit, but it is not necessary that it be excessively rich. Too frequent watering, especially spraying the plant, is injurious to tomatoes in the home garden, but a moderate amount of water should be applied at the roots at regular intervals.

Dwarf Giant. It is deep purplish crimson in color and belongs to the later-fruiting types. Plant is dwarf. We recom- mend a main crop sort like Stone. Pkt. 10c; or. $1.00.

TURNIPS

RUTA RAGA OR SWEDES

These are grown very exclusively for stock feeding and make an excellent and valuable crop. Treatment same as for winter turnips, but require a longer season to grow, and the seed should be planted early in July. The rows should be at least 2% feet apart, and the plants thinned to 8 or 12 inches. The roots frequently grow to enormous size.

Turnips grown quickly so that they are tender, make a delicious vegetable. The home gardener can give them easily that extra care needed to bring them to perfection. The requirments are for a rapid, uninterrupted growth, and for moist, well-worked soil. In Alaska turnips reach perfection, and all over our coast they are excellent. Sow in early spring and again in August. This latter gives roots for winter. Put the rows 12 to 18 inches apart, and thin to 5 to 8 inches. Do not transplant except when very young and that should not be necessary. 1 ounce of seed sows 250 feet of row.

Plant late in spring after frost is past. If drilled in 36-in rows, you will require 2 to 4 lbs. of seed; if seeded 18 to 20 inches, 4 to 6 lbs; if broadcast, 15 lbs. If second grade is wanted, write us. We can meet prices. Ours is the best strain of this wonderful grass. Lb. 30c; 10 lbs., write for prices.

Sweet Vernal, True Perennial (Anthoxanthum Odoratum).

Emits an agreeable odor, which it imparts to hay or to the lawn when being cut. Sow only in mixtures, using two or three lbs. per acre. Lb. 80c; 10 lbs. $7.50.

Tall Meadow Oat Grass (Avena Elation). Of rapid luxuriant growth, recommended for soiling and in permanent hay mixtures, also for winter grazing. This variety is not a lawn grass. Sow 50 lbs. per acre. Lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.60.

TIMOTHY (Phleum Pratense). The grade we sell is particu- larly “choice,” free from weed seeds and of high germ- inating power. Timothy is the great standard hay grass of the Eastern part of the country. It makes hay of the best quality, and produces a larger crop on good soil than any other grass. Not adapted for pasture, as there is little growth after cutting, and tramping of stock soon destroys it. Not a lawn grass and not adapted to dry soils; height two to three feet. Often sown with red top and red clover. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. Price fluctuates. Lb. 30c; 10 lbs. 2.20; 100 lbs. $17.00.

Wood Meadow Grass (Poa Nemoralls). Cannot supply.

SORGHUMS

For Forage and Grain

Cultural Directions — Deep plowing, thor- ough harrowing so as to secure the best possible seed bed; four lbs. of White Milo should be ample per acre; three to four lbs. of Feterita; planting should not be done until the ground has warmed up, which would generally be about the last of April. If a corn planter is used, the seed should be dropped about 18 inches apart, in the row, the rows being 40 to 44 inches apart. All varieties are non- saccharine except Honey and Early Amber Sorghum.

Dwarf White Milo and Feterita. — Under ordinary conditions the crop should mature in 90 to 100 days from the time of plant- ing. If sufficient water is available for two irrigations, we believe that two com- plete crops of both seed and fodder could be obtained under normal conditions. In our own crop growing this season the Feterita started to head out 40 days after the time of planting. We have a good supply of hand-selected seed, grown par- ticularly for seed purposes, carefully re- cleaned and graded, which we are offering as follows :

DWARF WHITE MILO. Succeeds under a wider range of conditions than others of Its class. Yields very heavily in grain and also heavily In fodder or silage. Our seed is spec- cially grown and selected for heavy yield. Lb. 15c. Write for prices.

The prices for Sorghums are not available at the time of going to press.

Broom Corn (Improved Dwarf Evergreen). Used for making brooms, and extensively used on account of its green color and line long straight brush. It grows about seven feet high. Sow 10 lbs. per acre. Per lb. 20c. Write for prices,

Honey Sorghum. This crop made 27 Tons per acre — no irrigation.

The Pacific Rural Press in their issue of Nov. 2nd says:

* ‘Honey Sorghum in Stanislaus county is reported to be a profit- able crop. Some farmers are getting from 100 to 300 gallons of molasses per acre. In several districts thirty tons of sorghum is being taken per acre. Many of the farmers are using their sor- ghum for silage and the surplus is being put into molasses.”

Egyptian or Jerusalem Corn. Belongs to non -saccharine sor ghums. It is considered a good grain for dry sections and seasons. It produces several small heads on side shoots, often as many as eight heads on a stalk. The seed makes excellent chicken feed. Plant eight lbs. per acre. Lb, 15c; 10 lbs. $1.00. Write for prices per 100 lbs.

HONEY SORGHUM (Saccharine) — For Forage and Silage. Any where that Indian Corn can grow this crop can be success fully raised and will stand more drought and heat.

Honey Sorghum is the new heavy yielding forage crop and the sure one to fill the silo. It grows from 8 to 1 2 ft high and produces rather slender leafy stalks. In tonnage this new Honey Sorghum gave 27 tons per acre without ir rigation, outyielding its nearest competitor by a third, or to put it another way. Honey Sorghum yielded one-half more

Honey Sorghum is late in maturing, taking from 140 to 150 days. If you are following a crop of barley and time Is an object plant Early Amber, which yields less but ma- tures in four months.

Sow in 3-6 ft. rows, using 3 to 4 lbs. per acre.

‘ ‘Forage and especially silage is essential to the success of the dairy industry.” University of California Bulletin No. 293. Send to the University of California for this Bulletin and read the de- tailed tests made with Honey Sorghum. This bulletin’s title is ‘‘Sweet Sorghum For Forage.” It tells the proper time to har- vest. Our Honey Sorghum is specially grown and selected for seed.

Per lb. 20c. Write for prices on larger amounts.

FETERITA. Birds do not eat this grain Sorghum to the same extent that they do others, and this is a great advantage in some localities. Feterita yields heavily In grain. Plant in May. Lb. 15c; 10 lbs. $1.00. Write for prices.

Kaffir Corn, White. Grows from 6 to 10 feet high and thrives in hot, dry climates. Makes good fodder for cattle and the seed is used for stock and chicken food. Sown in rows three feet apart, using three to five lbs. per acre. Lb. 20c; 10 lbs. $1.50. Write for prices.

Shallu or Egyptian Wheat. A tall-growing sorghum which has many stalks from one root. Sow in rows for grain, using 3 to 5 lbs. per acre or broadcast, using 30 lbs. for fodder. Lb. 20c. Write for prices.

Sudan Grass. For hay or forage. Has slender stalks. See page 41.

Sweet Fodder Sudan. Novelty. See page 9.

Sugar Cane Sorghum, Early Amber. A good fodder if cut when the heads form, or good silage if cut when Tull grown. Early Amber is quick maturing and therefore best for late sowing. Several cuttings may be had if the season is long enough. Is nutritious and yields a heavy crop. Syrup can be made from this variety. Sow late in April or after, using five lbs. of seed per acre in drills or 25 lbs. broad- cast. Lb. 15c. Write for prices.

COVER CROP AND GREEN MANURE CROPS

Inoculate this Seed with

FARMOGERM.

There is no way so good to improve soils as to grow a cover crop of some leguminous plant and then to plow it under when just coming into flower, or at the time of the last spring rains. This growing of cover crops is being done very largely in the orange orchards in the South and each year more is being planted in the N orth.

For orchard work the best time to plant cover crops is in the Fall; the best way to get a fine, healthy growth of plants is by in- oculating the seed at the time of sowing with Farmogerm. The highest returns, in nitrogen added, come from crops inoculated. Nitrogen is fertilizer when added as above, improving your soil and adding dollars to your crop. This is no experiment; it has been proved.

MELILOTUS INDICA (Bitter Clover). The crown of the plant has many stalks leading out from it. Sow shallow. Flow- ers yellow. See page 42. Per lb. 20c; 100 lbs. $10.00.

BURR CLOVER (Medicago Denticulata). Per lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.20.

SPRING VETCH (Vicia Sativa). Carloads of this are planted for cover crop each year. Vetch does not grow luxuriantly until the coldest weather has passed. Greatly needs In- oculating. Per lb. 20c; 100 lbs. write for prices.

CANADA FIELD PEAS. Excellent for cover crop or for Torage for cattle. Makes a good growth even if planted late. Sow 70 to 80 lbs. per acre. Inoculated soils are essential.

Ther* are bo more satisfactory flowers than those grown from seed, especially the easily grown and brilliant flowered annuals. The heautiful shrubs and lilies, of course, have their place, but are far more expensive than a paper of seeds which will furnish a large

number of plants with usually enough for one’s garden and some to spare.

Aim to have your garden one artistic unit, with some flowers in bloom at all seasons, with colors which harmonize, and with plants in size grading from the dwarf borders to the bedding annuals, and then to the taller plants which usually should stand next to the house or other confines of the garden or lawn. A garden carefully thought out and planned gives very much more pleasure than a haphazard one.

A perfect garden could not be made from seed alone; the grounds must have some shrubbery for its permanent characterl We are connected with The Vallance Nursery of Oakland, Cal., who will supply every need for private grounds of all dimensions; see our list of trees and shrubs in the succeeding pages of this Guide. On the other hand, no garden would be pretty or satisfactory which did not have a good number of flowers from our flower seed list most carefully chosen and placed in the garden.

There is doubt with many as to the best time to plant the different flower seed. There is a new book by Prof. E. J. Wickson

entitled California Flower Gardens, which is very fine. Price $1.50, or postpaid $1.60. This is written especially for California. One Eastern book will be found very useful, with its explicit directions, namely, "The Practical Garden Book,” by Prof. L. H. Bailey, which we will mail postpaid for $1.20.

WHEN TO PLANT FLOWER SEED

In describing many of the different flowers we have used the terms ‘ ‘ annual, ” “ hardy annual, ” " tender annual, ’ ’ "perennial,” "tender perennial,” etc. These may have seemed to you tiresome descriptions, but properly under- stood they tell much about planting. The dates in the following brackets will vary with the time that heavy frosts come in different places. While they show the best months for San Francisco, planting may be extended much later in all cases. In most of California perennials and hardy annuals will do best if planted in the Fall.

TENDER or Greenhouse, means the plant will not stand the least frost. All such must be planted late in spring (May) or in a greenhouse.

HALF HARDY means the plant will stand any light frost, but needs protection against very cold weather.

These should be planted in the spring (March and April), not in the fall.

HARDY means the plant will stand considerable frost, or practically all we have on the Pacific Coast. These may be planted in the fall or in the spring (October to May). If sown in the fall they will come into bloom earlier than if sown in the spring, even if the plants do not make much progress during the cold weather.

ANNUALS are plants that bloom the first year from seed, and the plant dies after one season. Tender annuals

must be sown in spring (April to June) and hardy annuals may be sown in either spring or fall (October to May).

BIENNIALS are plants that bloom the second year from seed, and the plant dies after the second year. In Cali- fornia many of these will bloom the first year if sown early. Sow under same conditions as perennials.

PERENNIALS are plants that bloom the second year from seed, and the plant lives and blooms during succes- sive years. If sown in early spring (February to April 15) many perennials will bloom the first year from seed. Tender and half-hardy perennials are best sown in spring after frost is over (April 15 to June). Hardy peren- nials are best sown in the late summer and early fall ( J uly to October) for the next year ’s flowers.

HOW TO SOW FLOWER SEEDS

The success from sowing seeds depends upon three things; the right amount of water, of air, and of heat, which means practically have your soil right as to moisture and texture, your seed sown at a proper depth and where the sunshine can furnish the heat. Soil that is hard and going to bake is not right to start seeds in. Take such soil in the fall and spade in manure or leaf mould and let it rot for several months, and then work up fine. In spring add to a heavy, that is clayey soil, peat or decayed leaf mould, and sand (sharp, fresh- water sand), so that there is one-third loam, one-third sand, and one-third leaf mould. This makes an excel- lent soil for starting fine seeds. For potting add a small amount of old sheep or cow manure.

SEEDS IN THE OPEN

Seeds of hardy annuals are sown directly in the bed where they are to remain, or they may be sown in boxes and transplanted. Have the ground well worked up and mixed with peat or leaf mould (both may be secured from us) if needed. The soil should be well moistened, not wet and soggy, and not, by any means, dry when the seeds are sown. Put all medium-sized seeds at a depth of one-quarter to one-half inch. Sweet Peas should go deeper. Very fine seeds should be pressed into the soil and a little sand or dry sphagnum moss sifted over them. Water more frequently if the seed is close to the surface and if necessary protect with cheese- cloth while watering. Always press or firm the soil after sowing any seed. These seeds are best sown in the open, so as not to be Iransplanted. Eschscholtzia, Nasturtium, Poppy, also very many others, may be profitably so sown. If the seed be sown directly in the garden, it should be sown in the spring after the soil is well worked and when in moist condition. A slight depression should be made with a stick, the seed sown, and then covered with sandy loam about twice the depth of the diameter of the seed. The sand will prevent the crusting over of the soil after watering.

When up, the plants must be thinned from two to twelve inches, depending on the variety, otherwise they will be weak and spindling. It is a common mistake in the garden to leave plants altogether too thick. Always keep the weeds out.

SEEDS IN BOXES

Always use care in getting a good loam as described above. Use no manure in any seed bed. Boxes 4 inches deep and 18x24 inches is the usual size. See that good drainage is provided by boring holes in the bottom; fill with the fine prepared soil, which

should be moist, but not wet enough to stick together when squeezed with the hand. Sow the seed about one-quarter inch deep,

except fine seeds. Water so as to keep the soil always just moist. Water carefully and regularly. A pane of glass over the box adds more heat, protects from draught, prevents drying out, and is not necessary except for difficult seeds. The box should be in the sunlight. When the plants are in third or fourth leaf they should be pricked out and reset in another box with plenty of room, for it is important that the plant be of good size, strong and sturdy, when finally transplanted in the garden.

Special care is required by the seeds of tuberous begonias, calceolarias, gloxinias, petunias and primulas, which are fine and delicate seeds. Fill a good-sized flower pot first with some crock or coarse drainage material, then with a little moss or peat, and mainly with prepared soil as described above. Firm the soil, which is of course moist, sow the seeds on the surface, press it in, and sift a

light layer of sphagnum moss over the seeds. Do not water this pot, but put it in a box filled with sphagnum moss on all sides and

keep this moss wet. The moisture will seep through the sides of the pot in sufficient quantity to germinate the seed. Cover the pot with a pane of glass, which remove gradually later from the young plants. Surrounding by wet moss is also a good expedient to keep moisture even for seeds which require a long time to germinate.

Another mistake in sowing flower, as well as other seeds, is covering too deep. As a general rule, cover only to the depth of the thickness of the seeds, or, with medium-sized seeds, like Balsam, Zinnias, etc., one-quarter to one-half inch is the proper depth. Such fine seeds as Portulacas, Nicotiana, etc., need only to be pressed into the soil with a piece of board or the palm of the hand. Always press the earth down firmly after sowing all flower seeds, else there is danger of their drying up before the roots can get firm hold of the soil. Seeds of the hardier annuals may be sown where they are to grow; but, often, it is preferable to transplant. When the seedlings are first set out they should be watered frequently and should be proteeted from too much sunlight and from heavy rains. Provide some support for all such annuals as require it.

On account of the long, dry summers in California, it is necessary to apply water very often. Most of our gar- dens suffer fer want of sufficient water. Where possible, it should be applied to the roots only. Do not over water, but water frequently enough and with such quantity that it reaches the roots.

With a little study of the garden and the colors and habits of the flowers, a garden as beautiful as those at the Exposition ean bo had from the use of MORSE’S SPLENDID FLOWER SEEDS at very little cost.

Novelties in Sweet Peas

Morse’s New Early Flowering Long Season Spencer

SWEET PEAS

Wonderful Novelties. Flowers Six Weeks Ahead of All Older Types

These new Sweet Peas were all originated on our Seed Farms. They are new and distinct from the older sorts

because of the extremely short time they take to come into flower. They are fully six weeks ahead of the older

Sweet Peas, and in taking on this new characteristic they have not lost any of the giant size or refinement of form which make the Sweet Peas such favorites for home growing.

No flower is more grown or will give more pleasure than these dainty Sweet Peas. If you plant some of our

early Sweet Peas as well as the Spencer late sorts you will have bloom for a very long time.

Not everybody is fortunate enough to live where Sweet Peas will flourish, and, strange as it may seem, this new class of Sweet Peas is useful, both where the seasons are too hot for Sweet Peas ordinarily, and too cold. Morse’s

Early Flowering Long Season Sweet Peas will flower well in central and southern California in, Arizona, Texas and

the South, also in the Hawaiian Islands, the Philippines and the Orient, and are the best varieties for greenhouse forc- ing everywhere. In climates which are cold and where frosts come early, these same Sweet Peas, by taking less time

to come into flower, will give a month more bloom than the ordinary late varieties.

Morse’s New Early Flowering Long Season Spencer Sweet Peas are all of the largest size and best form. Three or four great wavy flowers come on each stem.

Seed planted in early September in San Francisco will produce flowers about Christmas time. Seed planted in October and November will have fine large flowers in February and March.

We do not mean that these New Early Sweet Peas should take the place of the magnificent Late Flowering Spencers, but they are an addition to the garden of those who wish flowers early and late. If you have friends in the Orient, Hawaiian Islands or elsewhere where these new Sweet Peas will flourish, why not send them six or more pack- ets, which would be a most acceptable gift for any flower lover.

Collection — 6 pkts. of early varieties at 15c, our selection of good sorts for 75c. Entire 15 packets for $1.90.

NASTURTIUMS

Saw the seed where it is to remain late in the spring and aft er danger of frost is over. It is seldom necessary to thin the young plants, as they will bear standing close together. Nasturtiums prefer dry, rather rocky soil, such as we usually call “poor” soil, and bear their flowers in such locations in greater profusion than in a rich garden where they run too much to leaves. This adds to their value for planting over many unsightly places.

MORSE’S SUPERB PANSIES

Pansies thrive best in a moist, shady location and in rich, loamy soil. Seed should be sown in the autumn for early spring blos- soms, or can be sown early in the year for good flowers late in the spring. The plants must be transplanted twice in order to get the largest flowers; once from the seed box to a chosen bed, and again to the open garden. This is important for large-size pansies; use manure liberally. The blossoms are usually larger in the spring and again in the fall, and while they bloom freely all summer, the blossoms are small during the hot months.

STOCKS

Ten Weeks Stocks, or Gilliflowers

No matter if situation is cold and windy, Stocks will bloom there, and give the garden color when otherwise it might be bare. They come in all shades — delicate pink, white, red, cream and purple. Stocks are annual and hardy ; they may be sown out of doors in spring, or in boxes in winter and transplanted. Sow early one-eighth inch deep. While all will flower the first year, the Dresden, Brompton and Winter Stocks will last for two years.

Stocks have been greatly improved by selection, and our strains, which are raised by expert growers, give fully 60 per cent of double flowers. There always will be some single plants, as those are the only ones which bear seed, and the plants should be set out in the garden sufficiently close for these single ones to be pulled up when they show their first flower, and still leave plenty of fine double plants. Stocks are of easy culture, are a long time in bloom, are hardy, beautiful and very satisfactory.

SUMMER STOCKS

MORSE’S NEW EARLY LONG SEASON SPENCER SWEET PEAS

These are in brief a new race with flowers of the largest size ; with 3 and 4 blossoms to a stem, and they come early— nearly two months ahead of the ordinary Sweet Peas. They are the best for greenhouses, and the Southern part of the State, and for early flowers everywhere. See page 49 for these Novelties. These were developed on the Morse seed ranch and were in- troduced by us.

Grandiflora Sweet Peas

Although one would suppose from the name that these were the larg- est flowered, that is not the case, as all Spencer varieties are larger and finer. This Grandiflora type was the predecessor of all the Spen- cers and is greatly ahead of their ancestors — old peas now entirely discarded.

Grandiflora Sweet Peas are shell- shaped, moderate-sized flowers in all colors, some of them being very pure. The flowers have great sub- stance and are too good to be thrown out.

Four years in succession our Dahlias have won the California Dahlia Society’s special award Silver Cup, at San Francisco; and have won the Gold Medal and Diploma of Honor at the Sociedad de Mejoras, Publicas of Bucaramanga, Colombia, S. A.

PLANTING DIRECTIONS. — -To successfully grow Dahlias, they should not be planted before the 15th day of April. Tubers should be planted in a slanting position, with the eye or sprout about four inches below the surface and about three feet apart. Apply a mulch of good stable manure and keep the soil well cultivated. Kindly notify us as soon as possible of any error.

Soon as buds appear, fertilize with Morse’s Dahlia Fertilizer, and water freely. This will produce fine long stems and good flowers.

While we use every possible care in selecting our stock, we will not be responsible otherwise than where the plant is not true to label, and then only to the value of original bulb.

If the purchaser does not accept the goods on these terms, they are at once to he returned.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS

LARGE FLOWERING VARIETIES

To obtain large flowers of this beautiful fall flower it is necessary that especial care and culture be given them. Young plants

must be obtained; one shoot is allowed to grow and all side growth is kept nipped off, so that the strength be allowed to go into the

main stem. The plant is kept growing in this manner, but should a flower bud appear on the end of the stalk before the date set

(at the end of description of each variety) this also must be nipped away. For instance, we will take the ‘‘White Turner” as an

example. The date is August 15th, but should a flower bud appear say about July 20th, this must not be allowed to grow, but taken away, and a new bud will follow which ought to be about the size of a pea by August 20th; then all attention must be given this bud, and the plant be kept liberally fed with manure and bone meal applications. If the bud which had formed, we will say July 20th, had been allowed to grow, the flower would have been much inferior to that bud “taken” at correct date, namely, August 15th. This will explain, we think, the meaning of the dates after each variety. Of course, judgment will have to be used; for instance, should a bud appear one week before date, then it would be as well to leave that one. The best planting time is during May.

Chrysanthemums should be protected with cleese-cloth a few weeks before blooming time. These few remarks may help the novice in the growing of this plant. To obtain large flowers, it requires a good deal of experience, and it may take quite a few trials before success is attained. The Pompon, flowered and Single varieties require no disbudding.

Hot Inoculated INOCULATED

‘ '

INOCULATE YOUR SEED

at tha tlma af planting. Full dlraotlana ooma on tha bottla.

This applies to Alfalfa, Clover of all kinds, Peas, Beana, Vetch, Peanuts, and all leguminous plants.

Inoculating seed is no new experiment, but has been demonstrated by numberless experiments that if the plant of the above kinds has bacteria of the proper sort it will draw nitrogen from the air both for its own growth and to remain to fertilize the ground.

Nitrogen is a plant food which is needed by every growing plant. It is one of the expensive items in every fertilizer. For this reason orchardists plant green cover crops, during the fall and winter and plow them under, enriching the soil for the orchard. How much is a good inoculated cover crop worth ? From $45 to $50 with nitrate of soda at present prices per acre.

Nitrate of soda contains 17 per cent nitrogen, or 170 lbs. to 1,000 of the nitrate of soda.

‘ ‘Bacteria can put from 150 to 200 pounds of available nitrogen in each acre where the legumes are properly used and this is worth from $25 to $30 per acre, ac- cording to the market value of the nitrates.” — University of Southern California.

“In every case the crops following the incorporation of the legumes gave yields much in excess of those grown after a cereal crop had been turned under.” — University of California Circular 136.

There are many manufactures of nitrogen fixing bacteria. This is all grown in a jelly-like substance and some are marketed in this way and some are mixed with other materials.

Why pay more than the prices we ask ? If we had to send a man to you to con- vince you to buy we should have to add his expense to your cost and make a price of perhaps $2.00 an acre or more. But you can buy two of the best preparations at very low prices. Both of these cultures contain millions of bacteria, pure bred, and sufficient to thoroughly inoculate the land undertaken. Send for leaflet on either Mulford’s Bacteria or on Farmogerm.

Mulford Culture;

Nitrogen fixing bacteria most carefully prepared by the well- known chemists, H. K. Mulford Co. This firm makes antitoxins for medical requirements, and this culture is prepared with the exact same care and skill. There is no finer product made anywhere.

Be sure and state for what crop this is wanted.

We send East especially for these and get them absolutely fresh; but as we are selling such large lots of Alfalfa we will have this in one-acre and five-acre sizes on hand.

Prices f. o. b. Philadelphia: acre 50c; 1 acre $1.50; 5 acres

$5.00; equivalent to prices in San Francisco of % acre 65c;

1 acre $1.75; 5 acres $6.00.

MORSE’S

! NEW DAHLIA-FLOWERED f ZINNIAS

The Wonderful New Giant Zinnias

To designate Zinnias as Dahlia-Flowered, we refer simply to size, meaning extra large, both as to the whole blossom as well as the petals. As to color, with its distinctive tones, shades and combinations, the Zinnia needs no partnership. Zinnias never come in sparkling, brilliant hues, but in colors that are always toned off from a glaring brightness.

Thus, with the new Dahlia-flowered Zinnia we get beautiful large flowers in crushed strawberry, burnt orange, soft crimson maroons, ivory, sulphur, terra cotta, crushed raspberry, pinkish lilac, and a long category of tones, with slight but distinguishable variations.

For best results of course the soil needs to be rich, a little shade should be provided during mid-day, and water be applied freely at evening.

When properly grown, it is easy to get blossoms measuring five inches in diameter, and exhibition blooms can be had measuring six inches.

They make a wonderful bedding effect and a large bed devoted to the Dahlia-flowered Zinnia will bring more real joy than anything else in the garden.

See the illustration on the outside of back cover.

The lower line of flowers is Marigold, Dwarf French. The Zinnia flowers kept for a month on the bush without fading, making a glorious stretch of color.
