TO THE TRADE — How to Order By Mail

NAME AND ADDRESS SHOULD ALAVAYS BE GIVEN. — Frequently we receive unsigned let-
ters. Sometimes they contain money and orders. Sometimes too, letters are received in which
the name of the town is left out and the postmark is blurred. We cannot fill orders unless we
know the name and address of the buyer. The easiest way for you is to use our order sheet
filling in the blanks. When customers fail to receive their goods in a reasonable time they
should write us, and at the same time send a copy of their order, naming the date on which the
former one was sent, and the amount of money enclosed, and in what form. This will enable us
to investigate the matter.

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

HOW TO SEND MONEY. — Remittances may be made by any of the following methods, viz:
Postal Money Order, Draft on Salt Lake City, or Express Company’s Money Order, or cash
may be sent by Registered Letter. Remittances sent in any other way are entirely at the
sender’s risk. Small amounts may be sent in two cent postage stamps.

A war tax is now exacted of 5c on each 25c of Postage or fraction thereof. To illustrate, if
the postage on order is 50c, the tax would be 10c. Be sure and include this with your remittance.

WHEN TO ORDER. — We endeavor, when placing our catalogue in the hands of our regular
customers, early in January, to have our stock of seeds, etc., complete in every respect; and those
of our patrons who favor us with their orders early are sure of receiving prompt attention, and
assist us in reducing the heavy strain which always occurs as the season advances. Order early
and avoid delays.

USE THE ORDER SHEET. — In each copy of our catalogue we place an order sheet. It will
aid us greatly if you will make your order out upon it, using one line for each article ordered,
and as far as possible write them in the way they are catalogued, beginning at the front. We
will gladly furnish you additional order sheets if you write for them.

NOTICE CAREFULLY THE PRICES. — Be sure to know whether we or you are to pay the
freight or express, and bear in mind that we do not pay the express or freight charges except
when quoted prepaid, nor on farm seeds, poultry supplies, etc.

THE PRICES WE Q,UOTE on vegetable and flower seeds will hold good as long as stocks
last. The prices on grass seed, grains and all farm seeds and poultry supplies are those ruling
January 1st, 1922, and are subject to change. As far as possible we will fill in full all orders
that are quoted subject to variations in price, but if market values will not permit this, we
will send all that money remitted will pay for.

FREE OF POSTAGE OR EXPRESS CHARGES. — Packets, ounces, quarter pounds or pounds,
ordered at list prices, will be sent free by mail or express, and upon all goods quoted in our cata-
logue, where it says: Prepaid by Mail or Express.

Customers ordering enough for a freight shipment, 100 pounds or more, or desiring to pay
their own mail or express charges, may deduct 10 cents per pound from prices in this catalogue
on all seeds quoted by the pound.

SEED BY WEIGHT. — We supply half pound and over at pound rates; less half pound lots
are charged at ounce, or quarter pound rates; 25 lbs. and over at 100 lb. rates when quoted.

PARCELS POST. — A new and adequate Parcels Post law now applies to shipments of seeds,
bulbs, plants and poultry supplies (except poisons and liquids). Packages are subject to a limit
or maximum weight in the first, second and third zones of 70 lbs.; and in all other zones, fourth
to eighth, of 50 lbs. The maximum size of a package is 72 inches for combined length and largest
girth. Insurance will be effected only yhen asked for and remitted for as follows: Parcels to
the value of $25 or under for 6c; to the value of $25 to $50 for 10c.

We recommend that you include with your remittance this insurance fee; it not only as-
sures quicker delivery, but protects you in case the goods are lost in the mails.

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

ounces Is permitted to all zones at 1 cent per oz. (Over 4 oz. the above zone rates apply.)

NON-WARRANTY. — Complaints made that seeds are not good, should quite as often be at-
tributed to other causes, as to the quality of the seeds. There are many contingencies
continually arising, to prevent the best seeds always giving satisfaction, such as sowing too
deep, too shallow, in too wet or too dry soil; insects of all descriptions destroying the plants as
soon as or before they appear; wet weather, cold weather, frosts, chemical changes in the seeds
induced by temperature, etc. For the above reasons it is impracticable to guarantee seeds under
all circumstances.

We do not give, and our agents and employees are forbidden to give, any warranty, express
or implied as to description, quality, productiveness or any other matter of any seeds, plants or
bulbs we send out and we will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does
not accept the goods on these conditions, he must notify us at once and we will give instructions
for disposition. The acceptance of seeds under these conditions shall constitute your consent to
the purchase.

THE ESSENTIALS TO THE PRODUCTION OF CHOICE
VEGETABLES AND BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS.

GOOD SOIL.

A rich, sandy loam is the best, but a fair de-
cree of success may be secured from any soil
which can be made rich and friable. Good veg-
etables cannot be grown on barren sand, a cold,
hard, lumpy day, nor in the shade of orchard or
other treea.

LIBBRAL MANURING.

A soil which does not need enriching in order
to produce the best results is rarely found and
very often success is in proportion to the liber-
ality with which fertilizers have been used.

Well decomposed stable manure, where straw
bedding has been used, is the best; that where
sawdust is used is not so good. Often wood
ashes, at the rate of one peck to one bushel
to the square rod, will be of great benefit. Com-
mercial fertilizers are excellent, and may be
used at the rate of four to twelve pounds to
the square rod, and the more concentrated
forms — such as Nitrate of Soda, Guano, Dried
Blood and Potash Salts — at the rate of one to
six pounds to the rod. A mass or lump of any
of the commercial fertilizers, even if it is but
a quarter of inch in diameter, is liable to kill
any seed or young plant, which comes in con-
tact with it, so it is very important that they
be thoroughly pulverized and mixed with the
•oiL

THOROUGH PREPARATION.

Rich soil and liberal manuring will avail lit-
tle without thorough preparation. The soil
must be made friable by thorough and judici-
ous working; if this is well done all that fol-
lows will be easy; if it is neglected, only par-
tial success is possible, and that at the cost of
a great deal of hard work. The garden should
be well plowed or dug to a good depth, taking
care, if it is a clay soil, that the work is not
done when it is too wet. If a handful from the
furrow moulds with slight pressure into a ball
which cannot be easily crumbled into fine
earth aguin, the soil is too wet, and if stirred
then will be hard to work all summer. The
surface should be made as fine and smooth
as possible with the harrow or rake. It is
generally necessary to plow the whole garden
at once, and to do this in time for the earliest
crops, but the part which is not planted for
some weeks should be kept mellow by frequent
cultivation.

GOOD SEEDS, PROPERLY PLANTED.

There is no more prolific source of disappoint-
ment and failure among amateur gardener's
than hasty, careless or improper sowing of the
seed. The seed consists of a minute plant, mi-
nus the root, with a sufficient amount of food
stowed in or around it to sustain it until it can
expand its leaves, form roots and provide for
Itself, the whole inclosed in a hard and more or
less Impervious shell. To secure germination,
moisture, heat and a certain amount of air are
necessary. The first steps are the softening of
the hard outer shell and the leaves of the
plant from the absorption of water, and the
changing of the plant food from the form of
starch to that of sugar. In the first condition
the food is easily preserved unchanged, but the
plant cannot use It, while in Its sugary condi-
tion It Is easily appropriated but perishable,
and If not used It speedily decays itself and
causes decay in the plant. A dry seed may re-

tain Its vitality and remain unchanged for
years, but after germination has commenced, a
check of a day or two in the process may be
fatal. There is no time in the life of a plant
when it is so susceptible to fatal injury from
the over-abundance or want of sufficient heat
and moisture as at that between the commence-
ment of germination and the formation of the
first true leaves, and it is just then that It
needs the aid of a gardener to secure favorable
conditions. These are;

First — ^A proper and constant degree of mois-
ture. The soil should always be moist, never
wet. This is secured by making the surface of
freshly dug soil so fine and the pressing it over
the seeds so firmly with the feet or the back
of the hoe that the degree of moisture remains
as nearly uniform as possible.

Second — A proper degree of heat, secured by
sowing the seed when the temperature of the
soil is that most favorable to the germination
of the seed of that particular plant. Too high
a temperature is often as detrimental as one
too low. The proper temperature for each sort
may be learned from a careful study of the
following pages and the experience of the most
sucessful gardeners in your vicinity.

Third — Covering the seed to such a depth
that while a uniform degree of heat and mois-
ture is preserved, the necessary air can readily
reach the germinating seed, and the tiny stem
push the forming leaves Into the light and air.
This depth will vary with different seeds and
conditions of the soil, and can be learned only
from practical experience. In general, seeds of
the size of the turnip should not be covered
with more than half an inch of earth pressed
down, while corn may be an inch, beans one to
two inches, and peas one to four inches deep.

Fourth — Such a condition of soil that the as-
cending stem can easily penetrate it, and the
young roots speedily find suitable food. We
can usually secure this by thorough prepara-
tion of the ground, and taking care never to
sow fine seeds when the ground is wet. Occa-
sionally a heavy or long continued rain fol-
lowed by a bright sun will so bake and crust
the surface that it is impossible for the young
plant to find its way through it, or a few days
of strong wind will so dry the ground that the
young plants will be killed. In such cases the
only remedy is to plant again.

JUDICIOUS CULTIVATION.

Not only should every weed be removed as
soon as it appears, but the crust which forms
after a rain should be broken up and the
ground stirred as soon as it is dry enough to
permit it. The more frequently and deeply the
soil is stirred while the plants are young, the
better, but as they develop and the roots oc-
cupy the ground, cultivation should be shal-
lower, until it becomes a mere stirring of the
surface. We have seen hundreds of acres of
vegetables where the yield and quality have
been materially lowered by injudiciously
deep and close cultivation after the roots of
the plants had fully occupied the ground. A
very small garden, well cultivated and cared
for, will give larger returns and be In every
way more satisfactory than a much larger one
poorly prepared and neglected.

HOW TO BUILD AND

FOR early vegetables some provision for
starting certain plants earlier than can be
done in the open air is desirable; for this pur-
pose nothing is better than a good hot-bed, and
its construction is so simple and the expense
so slight that every garden should have one.

A hot-bed proper not only protects the plants
from the cold, but supplies bottom heat. By
this term the gardener means that the soil Is
constantly kept several degrees warmer than
the air above, that being the condition, so far
as heat is concerned, which is most favorable
for rapid and vigorous growth, and gardeners
usually secure it by making a compact pile of
some fermenting material and covering it with
the earth In which plants are to grow.

HEATING MATERIAL. — The best heating
material that is easily available is fresh horse
manure, containing a liberal quantity of straw
bedding. Such manure, if thrown into a loose
pile, will heat violently and unevenly, and will
soon become cold. What is wanted in the hot-
bed is a steady and moderate but lasting heat.
To secure this, the manure should be forked
over, shaken apart and, if dry, watered and al-
lowed to stand a few days and then be forked
over again, piled and allowed to heat a second
time, the object being to get the whole mass
into a uniform degree of fermentation, and as
soon as this Is accomplished it is fit for use.

SASH. — Gardeners commonly use sash made
especially for hot-beds and glazed with small
lights cut from odds and ends, and so furnished
at very low rates. Such sash can usually be
procured in any of our large cities, and costs
much less than If made to order. For garden
use, however, we much prefer a smaller sash
that can be easily handled, and the use of larg-
er and better glass. We would recommend that
for home gardens, the sash be about two and
one-half by four or five feet, and that the
glass be not less than 10-14, laid with not more
than one-quarter inch lap. In giving the order
to one unaccustomed to the work, it would be
well to state what they are to be used for, and
that they need to be made like skylight sash.

THE FRAME. — This may be made of sound
one-inch lumber, the back twelve to fourteen
Inches high, the front ten to twelve. It should
be well fitted to the sash, so as to leave as lit-
tle opening as possible and yet allow the sash
to be easily moved up and down, even when the
frame Is quite wet.

THE SOIL. — This should be light, rich, fri-
able. Any considerable amount of clay in it Is
very objectionable. If possible it should be
unfrozen when put Into the bed; for this rea-
son, it is much better to prepare in the fall be-
fore, and cover the pile with enough coarse
manure or straw to keep out the frost.

MAKING THE BED. — This requires careful
attention, as future success depends largely up-
on the manner in which this work is done. Hav-
ing cleared away snow and ice, build a rec-
tangular bed one foot larger each way than the
frame to be used, carefully shaking out and
spreading each forkful and repeatedly treading
down the manure so as to make the bed as uni-
form as possible In solidity, composition and
moisture. It is of the utmost importauce that
this shaking apart and evenly pressing down
of the manure should be carefully and thorough-
ly done; unless it is, one portion will heat
quicker than the others, and the soil will set-
tle unevenly, making it impossible to raise
good plants. The proper depth of the bed will
vary with the climate, season and the kind of
plants to be raised. A shallow bed will quickly
give a high temperature, which will soon sub-
side; a deeper one, if well made, will heat more
moderately, but continue much longer. For
general purposes, a bed about two feet deep
will be best.

The bed completed, the frame and sash may
be put on, and fresh manure carefully packed
around the outside to the very top — if the
weather is at all severe, this outside banking
should be replenished as it settles. The bed
should then be allowed to stand with the sash
partly open for a day or two to allow the steam
and rank heat to pass off. The earth should
then be put on and carefully leveled. Care

MANAGE HOT-BEDS.

should be taken that the soil is dry and friable.
If wet or frozen soil must be used, it should
be placed in small piles until well dried out be-
fore spreading. The heat at first will be quite
violent, frequently rising to 120 degrees; but
it soon subsides, and when it recedcH to 90 de-
grees the seed may be planted. The importance
of using dry soil and allowing the first rank
heat to pass off is very great. Every season
thousands of hot-beds fail of good results from
these causes, and seedsmen are blamed for fail-
ure resulting from overheat, or wet or soggy
soil.

MANAGEMENT OF THE BED. — The essen-
tials for success are a steady, uniform degree
of heat and moisture; keeping the soil at all
times a few degrees warmer than the air and
the careful “hardening off” (by exposure to the
air and diminishing the supply of water) of the
plants before transplanting into the open air.
Simple as these may seem to be, there are
many difficulties in the way of securing them,
prominent among which are overheating the
air under a bright sun. Without experience
one would scarcely believe how quickly the
temperature inside of a well built hot-bed will
rise to 90 or 100 degrees upon a still sunny
day, even when the temperature outside is far
below freezing, or how quickly the tempera^
ture will fall to that outside, if upon a windy
cloudy day the sash Is left open ever so little.
A rush of cold air driven over the plants is far
more injurious than the same temperature
when the ar is still. Again, in cloudy weather
a bed will go several days without watering,
but will dry up in an hour when open on a
sunny day. The details of management, how-
ever, must be learned by experience, but may
be easily acquired by one who gives the matter
careful attention, keeping constantly In mind
the essentials given above.

A COLD FRAME Is a simple construction of
boards for wintering over young plants — Cab-
bage, Lettuce, Cauliflower, Brocoli, etc. — and Is
also extremely useful to protect and harden off
plants from the greenhouse or hot-bed before
fully exposing them in the open air.

Select a dry, southern exposure, form a
frame from four to six feet wide and as long as
required. The back should be fourteen to
eighteen Inches high, and the front eight to
twelve, with a cross-tie every three feet. The
frame may be covered with sash or cloth. Seeds
of the vegetable to be wintered, sown in open
border early in September, will be ready to
plant in cold frames about the last of October.
The soil should be well prepared and smoothly
raked before planting. Admit air freely on
pleasant days, but keep closed in severe
weather.

TRANSPLANTING. — In transplanting, the
main points to be regarded are: Care In taking
up the plants, so as to avoid injury to the
roots, planting firmly so as to enable the plant
to take a secure hold of the soil, reducing the
top to prevent evaporation, and shading to
prevent the hot sun from withering and blight-
ing the leaves. In transplanting from a hot-
bed, harden the plants by letting them get
quite dry a day or two before, but give an
abundance of water a few hours before they
are taken out. It Is most apt to be successful
if done just at evening or immediately before
or during the first part of a rain — about the
worst time being just after a rain, when, the
ground being wet, it is impossible to suffi-
ciently press It about the plant without its
baking hard. If water is used at all, it should
be used freely, and the wet surface immediate-
ly covered with dry soil.

WATERING. — The best time to water plants
Is between sunset and sunrise. Water may be
given to the roots at any time, but should
never be sprinkled over the leaves while they
are exposed to bright sunshine. If watering
a plant has been commenced, continue to sup-
ply it as needed, or more injury than good will
result from what has been given. One copious
watering is better than many scanty sprink-
lings. The ground should always be stirred
with a hoe or rake as soon after watering as
it can be done without making the soil muddy.

Artichoke

The Globe Artichoke Is cultivated for Its flower heads, which are used In an undeveloped
state, cooked like Asparagus. Plant seed early in spring, three inches apart, in rows one foot
apart. When one year old, transplant to rows three feet apart and one foot apart In row.
Wliere the winters are severe protect the plants with leaves or dry litter, to keep the crowns
from freezing. Green Globe. Packet lOcj oz. 60c; 1-4 lb. $2.00; $7.50 lb. postpaid.

Asparagus

As Asparagus seed germinates very slowly, it is abvisable
to pour hot water over it. When cool, pour off the water and
treat it again with hot water. Sow seed quite early in spring,
in a bed of light, rich, well-manured soil, in drills one foot apart
and two Inches deep. When the plants are well up, thin to
about one inch apart. When the plants become withered, cut
them down, and spread well-rotted stable manure two inches
deep over the bed. Let the plants remain in the seedbed until
they are about to grow, early in spring. The subsoil of the
permanent bed should be dry, and if not so, it must be well
drained. It should be dug thoroughly at least two and a half
feet deep, and mixed with plenty of well rotted manure. For
private garden use set the plants in rows two feet apart, and
about a foot apart in the row, with crowns four inches below
the surface, and spread the roots. For field culture the rows
should be six feet apart and two feet apart in the rows. Be-
fore winter cover the transplanted beds with about four inches
of manure, and fork it in the next spring, being careful not to
injure the roots. In autumn, cut the ripe tops and burn the
refuse. One pound of seed will produce plants sufficient for
an acre, and one ounce of seed will sow a drill fifty feet long.

24 inches apart each way.

Cultivation should be frequent until the plants begin to bloom, but only when the foliage is
dry, for if disturbed when wet the vines will rust.

Pole beans require fertile soil. Plant six seeds 2 inches deep in hills around poles 8 feet
high, set firmly in the ground.

The poles should be set about 3 feet apart each way and the seeds placed in the ground in

a circle about 6 Inches from the base
of the pole. Cultivate same as for bush

Stringless Green Pod.

In point of earliness it ranks among the
first; in quality it is excelled by none, and in
bearing ability it stands without a rival. It
is unquestionably the greatest green pod
bean to date. The pods are full, fleshy and
nearly straight, and are borne in abundance
through a long season, beginning early. They
are Sib to 6J inches in length, light green in
color, very tender, and of highest and best
flavor. They remain long in edible condition,

BOW In hot-beds and transplant, cutting off the outer leaves. For general crop sow as soon as
the ground will permit in drills eighteen Inches apart and thin out to three inches In the row. For
winter use, the turnip varieties may be sown in June, and the beets may be kept by storing in
a cellar and keeping covered with sand, or sandy soil, to prevent wilting, or they may be kept
outdoors in pits such as are used for apples and potatoes. One or two ounces, or single pack-
ets, of two or three sorts, will give a good supply for a large family. It is best to sow in freshly
prepared soil, which should be pressed firmly over the seed.

Mangel Wurzel for Stock Feeding.

Mangrel Wurzels are of special value to the stockman and dairyman. The roots are juicy,
sweet and refreshing’, act as a mild laxative, keep the cattle in good health, thus tending to pro-
duce flesh and increasing the flow of milk. The owners of even one or two cows should grow
a sufficient quantity of Mangels to provide fresh food in winter when green food is unobtain-
able. For field culture the rows should be wide enough to admit the horse cultivator, and the
roots not nearer than one foot in the row. Sow five or six pounds of seed to the acre.

Improved Mammoth Long Red.

An improvement on the old variety. The roots are very large, uniformly straight and well
formed, proportionately thicker, and are deeper colored than the common sort, and with smaller
tops. We know our stock of this variety will produce the largest and finest roots which can
be grown, and that it is vastly superior to many strains of the same sort offered under other
names, such as Norbitan Giant, Colossal, Monarch, etc. Pkt. 10c; lb. 60c, postpaid. By Mail, Ex-

We think this one of the best varieties of Mangel Wurzel grown for stock feeding. It has
exceedingly small tops and few leaves; leaf stalks and blades green; roots medium s-ized, uni-
formly globe-shaped, having a very small tap and few side roots; color of skin, deep orange yel-
low; flesh, white and of excellent quality. The roots grow almost entirely above ground, mak-
ing them admirably adapted to shallow ground and very easy to harvest.

Sugar Beets.

When the Sugar Beet is planted for a sugar
crop, from six to eight pounds of seed will be re-
quired for an acre. Seed may be sown in drills
twenty to thirty inches apart. When beets are
up two or three inches high, they should be
thinned out so as to stand from six to eight
inches apart. Discontinue cultivation after form-
ation of roots has commenced. Although Sugar
Beets are grown principally for sugar-making
and for stock-feeding, they are very desirable
for table use, being more tender, sweeter, and of
better flavor than any of the sorts grown for
that purpose. Everyone should try them.

Klein Wanzleben Sugar.

Cultivated almost exclusively for sugar, and
yields from twelve to eighteen tons per acre. The
beet grows below the surface. The green leaves
are rather large and spreading, with wavy edges.

It gives good returns in any ordinary soil. Prob-
ably the best sort for the experimentor to use.

Giant Feeding Sugar Beet or
Rose Half Sugar Mangel.

This magnificent Sugar Beet while giving near-
ly as large a yield of easily grown and harvested
roots as a crop of Mangels, supplies a food of
very much higher nutritive value, the roots for
feeding purposes being really more valuable,
pound for pound, than those of the very best
strains of Sugar Beet, and the yield under equal-
ly favorable conditions being more than double.

The roots grow partly out of the ground and be-
cause of this and their shape the crop can be har-
vested and stored at less expense than any other
root crop. We are certain that every one who
plants this varietv and grows it with care will
be much pleased with the crop. Every farmer
should trv it.

Brussels Sprouts

Sow seed in early spring and treat like winter cabbage. One
ounce will produce about 5,000 plants. The plants which are very
hardy, grow two or three feet high, and produce from the sides of
the stalk numerous little sprouts which resemble very small cabbages,
one or two inches in diameter. The leaves should be broken down in
the fall, to give the little heads more room to grow. They should
be treated in all respects like winter cabbage or kale.

Cabbage

Culture for Early Cabbage. — Seed of the early varieties should be
sown % of an inch deep in a greenhouse, hot-bed, or in boxes in the
house, about 6 weeks before the plants are needed, for planting out.

If, when the second leaves appear, the plants can be transplanted,
spacing them 3 inches apart, better and more hardy plants will be ob-
tained.

As soon as the soil can be worked in the spring the plants should
be removed to the open field and set in rows 2 feet apart each way.
Cultivate occasionally to keep out the weeds and preserve the mois-
ture in the soil until the plants shade the ground.

hills 30 inches apart, 4 to 5 seeds to the hill, in the field where the cabbages are to grow, thin-
ning to one plant in a hill when the plants are 3 to 4 inches high.

Cultivation must begin as soon as the plants are set in the field, or as soon as seed sown
in the field is up and continued as long as it is possible to get through them with a horse
cultivator without doing injury to the plants.

Where the seed is sown in the field, whether it be in rows or in hills, it should be covered
with i of an inch of soil and this soil firmed well to insure rapid germination.

One-half lb. seed sown in a bed will produce plants for one acre.

Celery

Culture. — Celery seed Is slow to germinate, and when early plants are wanted It should be
sown In a hotbed in February or March, barely covering the seed. When the plants are large
enough, transplant Into coldframes, one and a half Inches apart; water and attend carefully*
keep the temperature moderate; and when the weather Is suitable, from middle of May till
June, transplant Into the open ground. For main crop, sow in shallow drills in the open ground
as soon as the soil can be worked. See that the bed is kept well watered. Rolling or pressing
in the seed will give more satisfactory results than merely covering it. When the plants are two
Inches high, thin out to three inches apart In the rows; and when four Inches high, cut off the
tops to make the plants stocky. The best time to plant Is that which will bring the plants to
maturity during the cool, moist weather. Never hoe or earth up in moist weather, nor when
the plants are wet with dew, as it would cause serious Injury. One ounce of seed will produce
4,000 to 6,000 plants.

Celeriac

Or Turnip-Rooted Celery.

Culture. — Sow the seed at the same season and give the same treatment as common celery.
Transplant the young plants to moist, rich soil, in rows two feet apart and six inches apart
In the row. Give thorough culture. As the roots are the edible portion of this vegetable, it
is not necessary to earth up or “handle” it. After the roots have attained a diameter of two
inches or over they will be fit for use. To keep through winter, pack in damp earth or sand
and put In the cellar, or leave out of doors, covering with earth and straw, like beets or carrots.

to the flavor of which its warm, pungent taste
makes a most agreeable addition. The seeds
should be sown in drills about sixteen inches
apart on very rich ground, and the plants well
cultivated. It may be planted very early, but
repeated sowings are necessary to secure a
succession. Keep off Insects by dusting with
Pyrethrum Powder.

and spring months as a substitute for lettuce
and is also cooked and used like spinach. In
warm weather the plants will mature in four to
six weeks. Sow the seed in shallow drills about
one foot apart, during August and September.
If the soil is dry it should be firmly pressed
over the seed in order to secure prompt germ-
ination. On the approach of severe cold weather
cover with straw or coarse litter. The plants
will also do well if the seed is sown very early
in the spring, and like most salad plants, are
greatly improved if sown on very rich soil; In-
deed, the ground can scarcely be made too rich
for them.

Cucumber

Culture. — In this latitude it is useless to plant in open ground until nearly the first of
May. Make hills two feet in diameter and about six feet apart, and enrich them with well-rotted
manure. Plant a dozen or more seeds, covering half an inch deep. When all danger from
insects is over, pull all but three or four of the strongest plants. One ounce for fifty hills; two
pounds per acre when planted in hills.

Pick all the fruit before it begins to ripen, as the vines will cease setting fruit as soon as
any seed begins to mature. In gathering for pickles, cut stems. Instead of pulling the fruit off,
and be careful not to mar the fruit in any way, for if the skin be broken the pickles will not
keep so well. *

Early Short Green, or Early Frame.

An excellent sort both for table use and for pickling. Plants
vigorous and productive. Fruit straight, handsome, small at each
end, bright green, lighter at the blossom end, with crisp, tender

Lettuce

Culture. — Lettuce ought to be grown rapidly, and therefore It should be sown In a rich,
thoroughly prepared soil. Sow In the open ground as early as possible, barely covering the
seed. If the hotbed Is used, let It be started quite early. Give but little heat and plenty of
water and air on fine days. Let plants In the bed be about four Inches apart. As they Increase
In size thin them out, or they will become weak. One-half ounce will sow 100 feet of drill.

use. Those marked B are sometimes grown under glass, but are especially desirable for out-
door summer culture.

Muskmelon or Cantaloupe

Plant the seed in hills six feet apart each way, dropping’ ten to twelve seeds in a hill. After
the plants begin to crowd and the striped beetles arc pretty well gone, thin to four of the most
vigorous plants in a hill. Give frequent but shallow cultivation, until the plants make runners
so long that this is impracticable. Rich earth for the young plants is far better than manure,
but if the latter must be used, see that it is well rotted and thoroughly mixed with the soil.

If the plants grow very rank, more and finer fruits will be secured by allowing the main
branch to continue growing, but pinch off the end of each side branch after it has one fruit
set. The quality of melons of all varieties is largely dependent upon conditions of growth and
ripening. Unhealthy vines or unfavorable weather produces fruit of comparatively poor flavor.
The plants are liable to attack from the striped beetles which are so numerous in some cases
as to destroy them. The beetles may be kept off by frequent dusting with air-slaked lime, soot
or sifted ashes diluted with fine road earth. Care should be taken not to use too much of any
of the above materials or the vines will be injured. Should even the diluted material prove in-
jurious to the vine, use road earth only, as frequent dusting with this alone will often prove
effective, especially if a wind is blowing.

Rocky Ford Pink Meat or Pollock’s Rust Resistant No. 10-25.

melons run very uniform in
size, and the exceptionally
heavy netting is laced and in-
terlaced over the entire surface,

to a lemon tint when fully ripe. Melons are large, weighing from six to_ ten pounds each, round
to oval in shape, extremely thick meated and have a very small seed cavity; flesh is light green,
very solid and of rich honey-like flavor, luscious and juicy, much more so than any variety of
muskmelon. An excellent keeping melon, and fruits may be laid away for use late in the fall.

WATERMELON — Continued.

Kleckley Sweets, or Monte Cristo.

The finest of all water-
melons for home use or near-
by market. The only drawback
to the variety is that the
fruits are too tender to stand
shipment, the rind being so
brittle that it is apt to split
open in cutting the fruits for
the table. The vines are
strong and vigorous and the
fruits grow uniformly to quite
large size; oblong in form,
18 to 20 inches long and 10 to
12 inches in diameter, rather
capering at the ends. The skin
is a rich dark green, while the
flesh is bright scarlet, ripen-
ing close to the skin, the rind
being only about half an inch
In thickness. The seeds are
white and rather long In

make it the finest table melon now in cultivation. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 35c; lb. $1.25, postpaid.

Dixie.

A decldely popular melon. A cross be-
tween Kolb’s Gem and the old reliable Moun-
tain Sweet. It surpasses Kolb’s Gem as a
long distance shipping melon, while it fully
equals the Mountain Sweet in its excellent
flavor, and Is ten to twelve days earlier than
either. In shape about one-third longer than

Winter Watermelon
(King and Queen).

As the name indicates, this is a winter var-
iety. The firmness of the flesh causes it to
be the longest keeper of the watermelon family.
Put into a cool place it will keep long into the
winter without losing its delicious sweetness
or exquisite flavor. Flesh is red and extremely
firm, in fact, almost as hard as citron — very
brittle and deliciously sweet. The melon is
round shaped and the skin is a very light green,
almost white. It is a good drouth resister and
does well in almost any section of the West,
where melons of any sort can be grown. No
garden should be without this exceptional var-
iety. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; lb. 60c; lb. $2.00, post-

Mushrooms

Mushrooms can be grown in any dark room or cellar, where the temperature can be main-
tained at 50 to 60 degrees. From old pastures procure the soil, and store it away. To one
bushel of this soil add two bushels of fresh horse manure. Of this well-mixed compound pre-
pare a bed, say three feet wide. Put down a thin layer and pound it down hard, and go on
until you have a bed eight inches thick. It will soon become pretty hot, but let the heat
recede until it is only 85 or 90 degrees. Then make holes, say a foot apart, and put in a
piece of the spawn about as large as a walnut in each hole. Cover the holes and press the soil
solid and smooth. Let the bed remain in this condition about twelve days; then cover it with
two inches of fresh loam, and over this place four or five inches of hay or straw, and the work
Is done. If the temperature is right, in six or eight weeks you may expect mushrooms. The
bed will continue bearing from twenty to thirty days. After the first crop is gathered, spread
over the bed an inch of fresh soil, moisten with warm water, covering with hay as before.

Ten pounds will spawn about ten square feet. Spawn, Ib. 30o, postpaid.

Mustard

Mustard is not only used as a condiment, but the green leaves are used as a salad, or cut
and boiled like spinach. The culture should be the same as that of cress.

Okra or Gumbo

A large, vigorous, tender plant, cultivated in the South for its young seedpods, which are
very nutritious, and are used in soups, stews, etc., and especially for making gumbo soup.
Should be more generally grown in the North wherever it is warm enough for Sweet Corn.
About the last week in May sow seed thinly, in drills one inch deep and three feet apart. When
well up, thin the plants out to one foot apart in the row. Gather the pods when quite young
(about an Inch and a half long), before woody fibre is formed. One ounce of seed will sow fifty
feet of drill.

Onions

Onions must have a clean and very rich soil, as it is useless to attempt to grow them on
poor ground. A liberal use of manure is more essential to these than any other crop. Sow in
drills not less than a foot apart nor more than half an inch deep, keeping the soil mellow and
clear of weeds. One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill, or five pounds per acre.

Extra Early Barletta.

(The Earliest Onion in Cultivation).

The bulbs are of a pure paper-white color,
very mild and delicate in flavor, from one inch
to one and a half inches in diameter and three-
fourths of an inch in thickness. On account of
its small size, seeds may be sown quite thickly
and makes an excellent variety for pickling.
Bulbs should be dug and dried in the shade as
soon as the tops die down, or they will start into
fresh growth and take on a greenish hue. The
onion is a good keeper.

Parsley

Very useful for flavoring soups and stews and
for garnishing. The green leaves are used for
flavoring, or they may be dried crisp, rubbed to
a powder and kept in bottles until needed.

Culture. — It requires rich, mellow soil. The
seed is even slower than parsnip in germinating,
and should be sown as early as possible in the
spring, in drills one foot apart, and when the
plants are well up, thin to one foot in the row.
When the plants are about three inches high,
cut off all the leaves, the plant will start a new
growth of leaves which will be brighter and
better curled, and if these turn dull or brown
they can be cut in the same way; every cutting
will result in improvement. The moss curled
variety makes beautiful border plants.

Champion Moss Curled.

A compact growing, finely cut and much
curled variety, of a bright green color. Owing
to its fine color and density of foliage, it is much
sought.

Parsnip

The value of the Parsnip as a culinary vegetable is well
known, but it is not generally appreciated at its full value
for stock feeding. On favorable soil it yields an enormous
crop of roots, which are more nutritious than carrots or tur-
nips. Roots are very rich in saccharine food, adding to the
richness of the milk when freshly dug and fed to cows, as
well as greatly Increasing the flow of milk.

Culture. — They do best on a deep, rich, sandy soil, but
will make good roots on any soil which is deep, mellow and
moderately rich. Fresh manure is apt to make the roots
coarse and ill-shaped. As the seed is sometimes slow to ger-
minate it should be sown as early as possible, in drills two
feet to two and one-half feet apart; cover one-half inch deep
and press the soil firmly over the seed. Give frequent cul-
tivation, and thin the plants to five or six to the foot.

Improved Guernsey.

(Improved Half Long. Thick Shoulder.)

A greatly Improved and wonderfully fine strain of
Guernsey Parsnip, of which our customers are unanimous in
praising the fine quality. The roots do not grow so long
as the Hollow Crown, but are of greater diameter and more
easily gathered. It is a very heavy cropper. The roots are
very smooth, the flesh fine grained, tender and sugary, and
considered the best for general cultivation. Parsnips are
improved by remaining exposed to the frost.

Peas

Sow Peas In drills about lour inches deep. The drills must not be nearer than two feet,
except for the lowest sorts. Those growing three feet high or more should not be nearer than
three or four feet, and should have brush for their support. Avoid fresh manure and very rich
soil, as they cause the vines to grow too rank. One pint will sow forty feet of drill; two bush-
els for an acre, in drills three feet apart. Our customers often write us inquiring the names
of the three best Garden Peas, Early, Medium and Late. While all those in our list are
good in their class, we name three which in our opinion are equal if not superior to other sorts;
First Early, Gradus, plant as early as weather conditions will permit. Medium, Everbearing;
Late, Improved Stratagem; plant the Medium and Late varieties about one week later than
the Early.

The crop should be gathered as fast at It is fit for use. If even a few pods begin to ripen,

Squash

The Squash is one of the most nutritious and valuable of all our garden vegetables. Pew farm-
ers appreciate the value of winter squash as food for stock. We think an acre of squash costing
no more to cultivate, and much less to secure, will give as much available food for feeding stock
as an acre of corn, and we strongly urge our readers to try a “patch” for this purpose.

Culture — The plants are very tender and sensitive to cold and planting must be delayed until
settled warm weather. The general principles of culture are the same as those given for cucum-
bers and melons, but Squash is less particular as to soil. The summer varieties should be planted
four to six feet apart each way, and the winter sorts eight to ten. Three plants are sufficient
for a hill.

In gathering winter sorts, care should be taken not to bruise or break the stem from the
squash, as the silghtest injury will increase the liability to decay.

Tomatoes

Very good plants can be grown in boxes in the house, but to obtain fruit very early, sow in
a hotbed in February. In about five weeks plants should be transplanted to another hotbed,
setting them about four or five inches apart. Here they should remain, having all the air pos-
sible, until after the middle of April, when they may be put out in the ground, four feet apart
each way. If not too early or too cold, a cold-frame will answer for the first transplanting. The
soil for early tomatoes should not be too rich, and a warm, sheltered location selected, if pos-
sible. Pinching off the ends of the branches when the first fruit is set, will hasten the ripening
very much. One ounce will produce 2,000 plants; one-quarter pound (to transplant) for an acre.

A Descriptive List of

Choice Flower Seeds

The pleasure resulting from a large and varied collection of flowers will

amply repay for time and labor spent.

To have a beautiful flower garden, one must take pleasure in working and caring for the
plants when young. It has ceased to be a necessity to keep such large stocks of bedding and
other tender plants under glass through the winter, thereby saving the expense of glass, fuel,
labor, etc. We are enabled to send out the highest results of carefully selected seeds, in cheap
paper packets from which the amateur will derive his plants by means so simple as to be with-
in the reach of everyone.

Nothing is more beautiful than the old-time and natural flowers. Do not cast aside the
single Petunias, Hollyhocks, Fox-gloves, Forget-Me-Nots, and the old time Phlox and Peonies,
for nothing is handsomer than the old-fashioned flowers. Were we to assist nature more rather
than try to create monstrosities, our gardens would look by far more beautiful and natural.

The soil best adapted to most flowering plants, is a light moderately rich loam, containing
a sufficient amount of sand to make it friable. A great many varieties will live in almost any
soil, but to give them a fair chance to develop, some care should be taken to make it suited to
their needs. Many flowers are better if produced on plants of vigorous growth; hence a por-
tion of the garden should be prepared by deep digging, thorough pulverization and liberal en-
riching with large quantities of well rotted manure. Since other varieties produce the largest
and finest colored flowers when grown on rather light, poor soil, a portion of the garden should
not be enriched.

Cultural directions are given on nearly all packets, and we urge purchasers to study them
carefully. While some seeds need special treatment, the following general rules will apply to
all: Make the surface as fine and smooth as possible; do not plant any seed when the ground is
wet; cover each lot of seeds to a uniform depth, which should never be more than three or four
times the diameter of the seed; press the soil firmly over the seeds; plant in rows so that the
young plants can be easily seen and pull up all weeds as soon as they appear.

The term “Annual” is given to those plants which grow, flower, seed and die within the
same year.

“Biennials” are those that do not generally flower until the second season, and after bloom-
ing, die.

“Perennials” are those that do not generally flower until the second year, but continue to
bloom for years and may be propagated by a division of the roots.

Acroclinium.

(Bverlastlng.) Very nretty, half-hardy annual, producing white and rose-colored daisy-like
flowers in August and September. These are the “Immortelles,” so desirable for wreathes and
winter bouquets. Height one foot. Mixed Pkt. 5c.

Asters

No flower, not even excepting the Pansy, with its marvelous range of color, or the Sweet
Pea, with its wonderful display of bloom, can approach in many important respects the Aster. As
a bedding plant it has no superior, and is the last to succumb to the icy touch of winter.

As a cut flower it rivals the Chrysanthemum in beauty and diversity of form and color, and
remains firm and fresh for days. They are easily grown, very hardy, and offer themselves for
use at a time when other garden favorites are gone.

Truffaut’s Perfection Peony Flowered.

Semples or Giant
Branching.

This is the most distinct and

branching freely, and each stem
terminates in a fine large flower
two to two and a half inches in
diameter. The outer petals are
broad, flat, and reflexed or curv-
ing outward, while the center of
the flower is composed of many
short tubular petals, slightly
pointed. The whole flower has a
distinctly feathery effect, greatly
resembling that of the fine Jap-
anese Chrysanthemum.

soaked for twenty-four hours in warm water before sowing.

Crozy’s New Hybrids.

These Cannas are the most gorgeous bedding plants we have. Most of them are dwarf in
habit, early bloomers, and remarkable both for beauty and size of flower and foliage. If
seeds be sown before April in hotbed or greenhouse, the plants will bloom in July, and con-
tinue until frost. These plants may be potted in the fall and kept blooming through the winter,
or the roots may be taken up in late fall and kept like Dahlias and replanted the following
spring. Mixed varieties.

flowering plants In four or five months, while
the old kinds require at least a year. The
flowers are large, double, very fragrant and
borne in great abundance. This is an early
continuous bloomer, and gives a great variety
of colors. Height about fifteen Inches.

Nasturtiums

These most popular, free-flowering tender annuals are of two distinct types — the Tall, or
running varieties and the Tom Thumb, or dwarf varieties. Both are of easiest culture,
growing and blooming in great profusion even in the poorest soils. The tall varieties are of
strong, vigorous growth, throwing out running shoots which can be trained upon strings or
wires, or can be readily made to climb the ordinary paling fences or wire netting. They are
also extremely showy as trailing plants when set around borders of vases or ornamental boxes,
on the lawn, and can be effectively planted at the top of a steep slope and allowed to run
down the bank. They are equally beautiful simply trailing on level ground. The dwarf or
Tom Thumb varieties, being of neat, compact growth, can be planted as borders to flower-
beds or along garden walks. Seed should be planted thinly when trees are starting out in leaf.
When well started, young plants should be transplanted or thinned out to stand six or more
inches apart for tall running varieties, and ten or twelve inches for those of the dwarf. When
planted in poor soil they flower profusely; if the soil is too rich they run to leaves.

Nasturtium, Tall.

(Tropaeolum Lobbianum.) The Lobbianum
differs from the common running nasturtium, in
being less rank growing, more floriferous and
having richer, more varied colored flowers of
many shades, from the richest scarlet to very
deep maroon. Fine for covering arbors, trellises
and rustic work. Half hardy annual; about ten
feet high. Mixed Tall (Lobbianum varieties),

Pansy

The Pansy gives an abundance of bloom un-
til after severe frosts, endures hard winters with
safety, and greets us in the early spring with a
profusion of bright blossoms. Pansy seed may be
sown in the hot-bed or open ground. If sown in
the spring, get it in as early as possible, so as to
secure flowers during the early rains. Seeds
sown in a cool place in May or June, and well
watered until up, will produce fall-flowering
plants. To have good flowers, the plants must
be vigorous and make a rapid growth, as they
will in rich, moist loam. Young plants give the
largest flowers. The old worn-out plants should
be replaced. If the plants come into bloom in
the heat of summer, the flowers will be small at
first, but as the weather becomes cooler they
will increase in size and beauty. They will
flower better in midsummer if planted where
somewhat shaded from the hot sun, and es-
pecially if furnished with a good supply of
water; but in almost any situation will give fine
flowers in the spring and autumn.

Liberty.

These Pansies are famous for their almost
endless variety of charming shades of color, LIBERTY PANSIES,

united with large size and perfect form of

flowers. They embrace all the solid or self-colors, delicately shaded flowers, five-spotted or
three-spotted; edged or bordered flowers of various colors, each with a distinct rim of white,
yellow or blue; dark and light marbled varieties flowers with clear, distinct eyes; striped flowers
of striking beauty, and vividly colored fancy varieties, blotched, veined, marbled and margined.

Sweet Peas

A Few Rules for the Successful

Cultivation of Sweet Peas.

Early in the spring make a trench about six inches
deep, in rich, mellow soil, so arranged that no water
can stand in it, and plant the seed in the bottom,
taking care not to cover it more than two inches.
When the plants are about five inches high, fill up the
trench, and furnish some support for the vines to run
upon. The plants should not be raised for two succes-
sive seasons upon the same ground.

Sweet Peas should not be planted on the same
ground after Culinary Peas.

Excessive manuring with stable manure in the row
immediately before sowing the seed is not desirable.
Ground intended for Sweet Peas, if not left in good
condition after taking the last crop, will be better for
manuring the previous fall rather than at the spring
seeding.

The use of artificial fertilizers, bone meal, nitrate
of soda, etc., can be made in spring at the time of
planting or soon after.

Thin sowing, by which is meant planting the seeds
from four to six inches apart, is conducive to vigor
and strength of the plants, which come later into
bloom, but continue much longer than the plants from
thick seeding.

Frequent stirring of the soil with hoe or cultivator
in dry weather, thus producing a dust mulch, is pre-
ferable to artificial watering, unless irrigation facili-
ties afford opportunities for a regular and abundant
supply of water.

Do not allow any flowers to go to seed or the
plants will stop blooming.

une-quarter pound of seed will sow fifty feet.

Mixtures of Sweet Peas.

One of the most satisfactory ways of growing Sweet Peas is in a mixed row. The mixtures
we offer are not made up of inferior or cheap stocks, but are of the very best qualities and are
well proportioned so as to give a pleasing variety of bloom.

Permanent Pastures and Meadows.

Since it has come to be an established fact that Grass is King and the Cow is Queen, it fol-
lows that more cows demand more and better grass and pastures, and how to obtain these is the
great question with many farmers.

It is a well known rule of nature that a judiciously selected mixture of several varieties will
produce a larger yield than can be obtained if only one variety is sown alone or by itself. When
sowing a carefully selected mixture of Grasses and Clover, you run less risk than if you had
carried all your eggs in one basket, so to speak. Some varieties may live and thrive on your
particular piece of land better than others, and these will then have a chance to do their very
best. A mixed pasture is earlier, gives a better yield, and holds out better than one sown
down with but one kind of Grass. Many varieties sown together occupy the ground more
closely, and a larger yield of hay, and of better quality, can always be obtained from a mixed
meadow. In a great many parts of the country only one or two kinds of Grasses are known
and mostly sown, and these are Timothy and Clover. While Timothy is a splended Grass, and
Clover the foundation of all successful farming, both are not permanent, and not well adapted
for pasturing; are easily affected by drought or frost, thereby making it necessary to re-sow
every year or two, a rather expensive method. In our carefully selected Clover-Grass Mixtures
several varieties of the natural Grasses are sown together, and these will cover the ground very
closely and make two spears of Grass grow where formerly but one grew; besides, these Clover-
Grass Mixtures will stand various climatic and soil conditions better, will last longer or be per-
manent, and yield heavily or double the quantity of hay that is secured from ordinary fields
sown with Timothy and Clover.

Clover-Grass Mixtures for Permanent Pastures, Meadows,

or for Particular Purposes.

We selected them with the greatest care and use only such varieties as are best adapted
for different kinds of soil and various purposes. Some varieties are of early and others of late
growth, and this is a very important consideration when permanent pastures are wanted, and
when wanted for mowing, the varieties must be selected so as to ripen nearly at the same time
and be of good tall growth, while the low or dwarf growing varieties are better adapted for
pasturing. ,

The prices of our Clover-Grass Mixtures we have always made as low as possible in accord-
ance with the market price of the seeds, using the best quality of seeds only. Owing to the un-
usual high prices of some seeds at the present time, we are obliged to make the prices for our
Clover-Grass Mixtures a little higher. It does not cost any more to sow our carefully selected
Clover-Grass Mixtures than to sow Clover or Timothy alone, and when permanent results are
considered, the Clover-Grass Mixtures are the cheapest by several times.

Mixture with a view to suit the conditions in
the Western and extreme Northwestern States,
and for similar conditions elsewhere, and in
sections of the country where Timothy or Clover
are uncertain and do not succeed well when
sown alone, but we include these, as we have
found that where they are uncertain when sown
alone, they are more apt to succeed when sown
with other varieties, and should they fail, the
other grasses take their place, and so an entire
failure is avoided. This Clover-Grass Mixture
is adapted to sow on land that will produce a
crop of wheat, oats, etc., and is selected with a
view to produce a crop of hay and pasture
afterwards, or can be pastured entirely.

WHEN AND HOW TO SOW SEED.

The most rapid way of obtaining a grass crop Is to sow the grass seed alone without any
grain or nurse crop. If this is done early in the spring a nearly full crop of hay or pasture can
be had the same year and a heavy one the next year. Many farmers sow grass seeds in the
spring with grain to save labor, and as they suppose, to protect the young plants. However, it
involves the loss of a year in either hay or pasture, aside from endangering the grass, and like-
ly losing it altogether. The young plants are in no way protected by the grain, and when this
is cut the young grass and clover is very tender, having been shaded by the grain, and the cut-
ting or harvesting of the so-called nurse crop
suddenly exposes the young grass to the sun at
the hottest season of the year. There is great
danger then that it will be burned out. When
the grass is sown by itself the young plants are
hardened and more able to withstand the hot
and dry sun.

After the ground is carefully prepared, the
seed is sown broadcast, which can be nicely and
evenly done and very quickly with the little
hand seeders. As grass seed is very fine and
should not be covered very deep, the natural
covering which may or may not take place after
a shower of rain or after the action of early
spring frosts, is sometimes sufficient, and some-
times this succeeds perfectly. However, It is
best, and usually more certain, to depend upon
some other way of covering the seed. A very
good way is to roll the land. The pressure of
a common farm roller on clover or grass seed,
sown on the freshly harrowed soil, covers it
slightly and is almost sufficient, besides being
one of the best means to insure the quick and
even germinating of the seed. Another good
way to cover the fine seed is to pass an evenly
made brush harrow over it.

Red Top.

(Agrostls vulgaris.) It Is a good, perma-
nent grass, standing our climate well, and makes
good pasture when fed close. Is valuable for
low, wet meadows, producing a large return in
good hay. When sown alone, use about twenty
pounds of the unhulled seed per acre. Sow In
spring or fall.

Red Top Fancy (cleaned from chaff). Sow
eight to ten pounds per acre. Lib. 40c, postpaid;
for larger lots write for prices.

Timothy.

(Phleum pratense.) This is the most valu-
able of all the grasses for hay, especially in the
North. Thrives best on moist, loamy soils of
medium tenacity. It should be cut just when
the blossoms fall. Sow early in the spring or
fall, at the rate of 12 pounds per acre, if alone
but less if mixed with other grasses.

Meadow Fescue,
or English Blue Grass.

(Festuca pratensls.) A perennial, from two

of the standard European grasses. It needs rich
ground and succeeds well on prairie soil. An
excellent pasture grass to take the place of the
, wild grasses, as it yields a large amount of
early and late feed. Sow about twenty-five
pounds per acre. Lb. 40cj postpaid; for larger
lots write for prices.

TIMOTHY.

Orchard Grass.

(Dactylls glomerata.)

For pasture and hay land a most valuable
grass, and on account of its earliness very
valuable for permanent pastures. When grown
for hay, more than one crop can be obtained
in one season, and where but one crop is
taken the after growth is very heavy, and
gives splendid and rich pastures till late in
the fall. It is much given to growing in tufts,
and is therefore not adapted for sowing alone
or by itself; but when sown together with
other grasses or in Clover-Grass mixtures, a
close and even sod can be had. It is well
suited to shady places, such as orchards and
groves. Although it is adapted for a wide
range of soil, and will grow on almost all
land, it gives best results on deep rich, sandy
loam or clay soils. Sow 25 to 30 pounds to
the acre.

Bromus Inermis.

Also known as Austrian Brome Grass and
Awnless Brome Grass.

Of all the varieties of the cultivated grasses
this can be considered the best and most prom-
ising for this country. It is a native of Europe,
but it is not a new and untried variety In this
country any more. It has been sown and tried
in nearly all parts of the country and proved
to be well adapted for different conditions of
soil and climate. It is well suited for hay or
pasture, and will produce a very heavy yield of
both. It comes up early in the spring, makes a
rapid growth, can be cut for hay early, and used
for pasture afterwards, making abundant pas-
turage. It remains fresher and greener during
the larger part of the year than almost any
other grass. It is thoroughly permanent and
very hardy, enduring very low temperature in
the winter and having great power to grow in
dry climates and resist drought and thrive and
give abundant pasture or hay crops in dry sea-
sons, when everything else would fail. It will
grow on all kinds of soil. All kinds of stock eat
it greedily, and it is very rich in nutritive valuf
or flesh-forming ingredients. It is easily culti-
vated, since it is suited to all soils. It is sown
early in the spring in the same way as other
grass seeds, and since it is rather slow to start
and does not make much growth the first year, is
well suited to sow with grain for a nurse crop.
About 25 to 30 pounds of seed should be sown
per acre. It grows two to lour feet high, flower-
ing in June and is a true perennial.

Sudan Grass.

The Best Forage and Hay Crop for Dry Regions.

This Grass was originally introduced into the United States about 1909, from The Sudan,
Egrypt. The results of early experiments warranted the handling of the seed In commer-
cial quantities, especially in the Southern States, where it has become very popular. It is
particularly suited for sections deficient in rainfall; has all the good qualities of Johnson Grass
without the objectionable features, but, unlike Johnson Grass, it is an annual and must be
planted each season, and does not spread and become a pest. The quality of Sudan Grass Hay
is considered equal to Timothy. It yields from two to four tons per acre without irrigation,
and with irrigation, of course, would run much higher. The seed should not be planted
until all danger of frost is past and the ground thoroughly warmed, as the young plant is
more tender than Sorghum. The crop matures in seventy to eighty days from the time of plant-
ing. The earlier the planting the mort opportunity of several cuttings during the season.
It can be grown in rows 20 to 30 inches apart and cultivated like corn, or could be sown broad-
cast by hand. Seeded ’n rows 30 to 40 inches apart, two or three lbs. per acre of seed is suf-
ficient. Drilled or broadcasted, 18 to 20 lbs. per acre are required. The cutting of the grass
for hay should be done as soon as the grass is fully headed; a new crop will then start again
from the same plants. On account of the readiness with which Sudan Grass crosses with all
varieties of Sorghums, it should never be planted near any of these crops, especially when
grown for seed purposes.

of strong and quick successive aftergrowth. It
produces an abundance of foliage, which re-
mains bright and green throughout the season,
and for this reason is also much used for lawn

permanent meadows, and it yields large quan-
tities of very nutritious hay, which is well
liked by all kinds of stock. It grows well on
almost any land, but prefers medium rich or
moist land, such as will produce a good crop
of corn, and gives the heaviest yields on such
land. It grows two to three and one-half feet

fourth, sowing at such a time as to give the

soil, but thrives best in rich, moist land. Where
the ground is favorable, and especially if irri-
gated, immense crops can be produced, being
cut four to five times, and yielding as high as
seven to eight tons of dry hay per acre. It is
well adapted for pastures, on account of its early
growth in spring, and its quick and successive
aftergrowth, when closely cropped. It grows
two to four feet high, with an abundance of fol-
iage, and is much liked by cattle and stock gener-
ally. Sow 20 to 25 pounds of seed to the acre.

of soil, and seems to succeed best on moist, rich
land. It requires about two years to become well
established, and for this reason should be used
only where permanent pastures and meadows are
wanted. In conjunction with White Clover it
forms a splendid lawn; for this purpose use one
pound to 200 square feet, or sixty pounds of
Blue Grass and six pounds of white clover per
acre. If sown by Itself for pasturage, about
thirty pounds per acre will be required. Sow

lished before being subjected to very dry or to vefy cold weather. However much care is bestowed
on the soil and seed, no lawn will be beautiful without frequent mowing and rolling. Too much
care cannot be bestowed upon the selection of grasses, as some varieties are the most luxuriant in
spring, others in summer, others again in autum^^* and a combination of the proper sorts is re-
quired for a perfect, carpet-like lawn. We have given much thought and made many experiments
to secure the best selections, and think our City Park Mixture Is the best possible for permanent
lawns. It may be planted early in spring, or fall, and should sown at the rate of 60 to 100
pounds per acre; much more is required than for hay or pasturage. If sown in the spring, sow
as early as possible, making the surface very fine and smooth, then raking it over and sowing the
seed just before a rain, which, if the surface has just been raked, will cover the seed sufficiently.
If the expected rain does not come, cover by rolling with a light roller. If sown in the fall, sow
before the autumn rains have ceased, and before very cold weather the young grass a light

dressing of manure. One pound of this mixture is sufficient to sow 200 square feet.

ALFALFA OR LUCERNE.

Clover Seeds

Prices on all Clover Seeds subject to change
without notice.

Alfalfa or Lucerne.

The most valuable forage plant, particularly adapted for
our Western climate and soil. It requires a deep, mellow soil;
newly broken sod does not do so well. It thrives best on a
sandy loam (the richer the better), while it has proved a suc-
cess on heavy, compact clay soil. In the dryest and most sultry
weather, when every blade of grass withers. Alfalfa is as fresh
and green as in the spring, as its roots go down from ten to
twenty feet to the moisture of the ground. Although a pro-
digious yielder, it does not exhaust the soil, but rather improves
the ground by the decay of its long roots, and converts it into
rich ground, full of vegetable matter. The seed may be sown
early in the spring (as soon as the frost is out of the ground),
in order to catch the spring rains, as it needs moisture to germ-
inate. In localities where irrigation is used, it can be sown
at any time during the summer months. In our State it is not
advisable to sow later than the first part of September on ac-
count of early frosts, as the young, tender plants, not having
sufficient roots, would succumb to our cold winters. Late fall
sowing — say in October or November — is not advisable in local-
ities where wind storms are prevalent during winter and early
spring, as the seed will be blown away before it has a chance
to take root. Most of our Alfalfa growers prefer sowing the
seed broadcast, while others are more in favor of drilling it in.
If the latter plan is pursued, we advise drilling the seed both
length and cross-ways — say half quantity each way — in order
to secure a more even stand. There is a great deal of discus-
sion whether the seed should be sown by itself or with other
grains, both methods being strongly advocated. Owing to the
fact that Alfalfa needs light and sun, the majority of growers
suggest sowing the seed by itself, providing it can be put in the
ground early in the season, but when the sowing is delayed, we
advise to sow oats or barley with it to afford some protection
to the young plants against the scorching rays of the sun in
midsummer. Another circumstance has to be taken into con-
sideration: If the ground proves to be very weedy, sow In
connection with grain, by all means, a crop of barley or oats —
they can be raised as well as a crop of weeds. After the grain
has been cut, and this should be done as early as possible, It
will be found that the Alfalfa has made such growth as to pre-
vent any danger of being choked out by the weeds, and it will
care for itself. Irrigate immediately after the grain is cut, and
the Alfalfa will push out fresh shoots at once, and will furnish
a light cutting in the fall, or at least good pasture. It is more
difficult to establish the first year, but will, when once started,
produce a profitable crop — under favorable circumstances, three
and even four crops are cut yearly, aggregating five to seven
tons to the acre. Never sow less than fifteen pounds of good
clean seed to the acre, for thin sowing produces thick and
coarse stalks, not relished by stock. The Alfalfa flourishes
up to an altitude of about 8,000 feet above the sea level; at
higher altitudes it is not likely to thrive. How long it will live
is a question not settled yet. The reports speak of Alfalfa
fields in Chili (whence it was brought to California under the
name of (jhill Clover) that are several hundred years old,
still bearing good crops. The proper time to cut it Is when the
plant is in full bloom. The seeds ripen to perfection, and are a
source of considerable revenue to our farmers. If intended to
raise Alfalfa for seed, ten to twelve pounds is plenty to sow
on one acre. The seed has to be saved from the first crop, as
the second or third cutting does not mature evenly, does not fill
out plump and heavy, and does not possess the proper germ-
inating power. It is worthy of trial in any locality where it has
not already been tested.

CLOVER SEEDS— Continued.
Alsyke, or Swedish.

The advantages which the Alsyke Clover has over Red Clover and other varieties are Its
hardiness and true perennial character. It will adapt itself to a great variety of soils, growing
on the edge of a stream or in a swamp and on low ground, and yet flourish on dry and stub-
born, stiff clays and upland soils. It is capable of resisting the extremes of drought and
wet alike. It is well liked by all stock, either
green in pasture or cured for hay. Horses, cows
and sheep prefer it to Red Clover. It makes
finer and better hay as the stocks are not so
thick and woody as those of Red Clover. It is
very sweet and fragrant, and liked by bees.

Grows fifteen to twenty-four inches high, heads
are rounded, flesh-colored. It can with advan-
tage be sown together with Timothy, as both
will grow on low ground and moist soil and
mature and ripen together at about the same
time. If grown for the seed, this is taken from
the first cutting.

When sown by itself, six pounds of seed are
required per acre.

Emmer.

It Is adapted to a wide range of soil and climate, and is of superior feeding value, yielding
much more heavily than oats and barley. This grain grows tall, like rye, and matures as early
as barley, and yields from 40 to 80 bushels to the acre, and from four to six tons of straw hay.
Tough and hardy, it stands the drought better than any other grain, making it a sure crop.
Prepare your land as you would for wheat or oats, and sow at the rate of 75 or 100 lbs. per acre.
Sow very early in the spring or fall, and do not let it stand until it gets too ripe before cut-
ting as any grain that yields well, shells easily. In the green state it makes excellent pasture.

Field or Stock Peas.

These are very valuable for fattening stock, and can also be grown for soiling purposes,
but are of greater value for fodder when fed as ground feed, or the vines can be fed for hay,
which is of great nutritive value for dairy cows and hogs. They are equal to corn and six
weeks earlier. Field Peas have been grown by dairymen with very satisfactory results, fol-
lowing Winter Rye, which was cut green in June for dairy cows and cattle, then stubble turned
under and sowed to mixed Peas and Oats, furnishing a large amount of forage in August,
when grass pastures are usually short. The Field Pea does well on any soil adapted to Oats and
Spring Wheat. Cut and feed green, or, if for hogs alone, can be used as pasture. These peas
should not be grown on very rich soil, as they will run to vine Instead of pod, unless grown for
renovating purposes. As a fertiliser they come next to clover, to be plowed under when they
commence to blossom. Can be sown separately in drills or broadcast, 100 to 120 lbs. to the

FIELD SEEDS — Continued.

Millet, Liberty or Golden.

Probably no other plant is so popular and well known as Millet. When drought is cutting
the hay crop short, it can be sown to make up the shortage.

Requires a dry, light, rich soil and grows three to five feet high. The heads are closely
condensed, though the spikes are very numerous with a fine bulk of stock and leaves, and is
excellent for forage. The seeds are contained In rough, bristly sheaths and are round, golden
yellow and beautiful in appearance. For hay, sow broadcast at from twenty-five to thirty
pounds to the acre, from May 1st to August 1st. For grain, sow In drills, about fifteen pounds
to the acre, and not later than June 20th. L.b. 20c, postpaid; By Freight at Buyer’s Fxpense.
.S0.50 per 100 lbs. For larger lots write for prices.

Silver Mine Oats.

Tki.^ oat has made for Itself a reputation as an exceedingly heavy and reliable ylelder. It
la very hardy and prolific and yields beautiful white kernels which are especially desirable for
the manufacture of rolled oats. The heads are very large in proportion to its stiff, bright,
clean straw. The sprangle top heads, although long, are borne low down on the stalk, which
seems to prevent lodging. The straw is valuable for feed and for bedding. As a rule, oats
yield a greater profit per acre than wheat, and they are also a more reliable crop.

By Freight at Buyer’s Fxpense, $3.00 per 100 lbs. Write for prices on larger lots.

Rape (Dwarf Essex).

A biennial crop, used principally for sheep pasture, of which it yields an abundance of the
best quality. Is usually sown broadcast on ranges, using 4 to 5 lbs. per acre. Lb. 25c, postpaid.

Spring Rye.

This variety has been developed simply by planting Winter Rye in the spring and selecting
the seed so produced for several years. The standard variety for spring planting. Sow about
IV4, bushels to the acre. Write for prices.

Winter Rye.

Grown for hay by dairymen, but principally for grain: is also planted with Vetch, and In
combination makes an excellent fodder. By Freight at Buyer’s Expense, $3.00 per 100 lbs. For
larger lots write for prices.

Sugar Cane (Sorghum), Early Amber.

A good fodder if cut when two feet high. Is nutritious and yields a heavy crop. Sow late
In April, using ten pounds seed per acre in drills, or twenty-five pounds broadcast.

Lb. 20e, postpaid.

Sunflower (Large Russian).

A variety bearing large heads, frequently 12 to 20 Inches In diameter and sometimes yield-
ing 1000 pounds of seed per acre. The seed is used for feeding chickens and parrots. Sow in
the open field as soon as danger from frost is over, using 3 pounds of seed per acre, sowing in
rows 5 feet apart and thinning to 1 foot. Lb. 25c, postpaid.

Wheat.

DICKLOW. Considered by many to be the best white spring wheat. Write for prices.

BLUE STEM. A Spring wheat of great merit. It grows very strong and with surprising
rapidity. Write for prices.

TURKEY RED (Winter). Used for blending in the manufacture of flour, on account of its
hardness and high gluten content; it has also become very popular for poultry feeding; also for
ploughing under as a green manure. Write for prices.

MARQUIS WHEAT. An excellent spring wheat, very popular with the millers. In appear-
ance Marquis Wheat is similar to Red Fife, but the heads are heavier and the stalks shorter, mak-
ing it less likely to lodge. The kernel is flinty, a little darker red and more plump than Fife.
It is beardless, having smooth yellow chaff, but its most valuable feature lies In Its earllness,
as It matures a week or ten days earlier than Red Fife. Yields 40 to 50 bushels per acre. Write
for prices.

Vogeler’s Perfect Chick Food

A Complete and Scientifically Compounded Food
for Baby Chicks.

Vogeler’s Perfect Chick Pood is a mixture of many different grains and seeds, so proportioned
to the needs of the growing chick that it will be fully nourished. Most feeding stuffs con-
tain too much fat-forming and not enough flesh-and-muscle-forming elements; in consequence
the chick developes indigestion and diarrhoea, which ultimately means no digestion at all, and
the chick soon staves to death. Or, if partially nourished, leg weakness developes and the chick
drags out a miserable existence.

Price: 50-lb. bag $1.85; 100-lb. bag $3.50. By Express or Freight at Buyer’s Expense.

Developing Food.

Invaluable for Hastening the Growth of Young Stock.

Developing food is a special food intended for properly maturing young chicks after they
are ready to be weaned from Chick Food, and to cari'y them along to the age when it is desir-
able to place before them the larger whole grains. When chicks are from six to eight weeks
old they are able to eat and exhibit a preference for larger particles of grain than found In our
Chick Food.

Price: 50-lb. bag $1.85; 100-lb. bag $3.50. By Express or Freight at Buyer’s Expense.

Ideal Egg Mash or Laying Food.

A Balanced Ration, Ready Mixed for the Daily Mash.

Ideal Egg Mash is a palatable and highly nutritious balanced ration, ready for making the
daily mash. It is ready mixed with every ingredient necessary for layers. Mash foods should
be accompanied by a food that will promote exercise, for which purpose we recommend that
Scratching Food be scattered in litter.

Price: 100-lb. bag $3.25. By Express or Freight at Buyer’s Expense.

Economy Scratch Food.

An Ideal Dry-Grain Mixture — Affords Variety, Promotes Exercise.

If we were to feed laying stock entirely on mash, or even on grain food in bulk, without
the use of litter, this practice would cause inactivity and soon result in over-fat fowls that
would not lay. Exercise is necessary to produce good digestion, maintain health and insure a
heavy egg yield. Remember, too, that breeding fowls cannot be kept vigorous and strong by
any method that does not require exercise, and plenty of it.

Economy Scratch Food should be scattered in the litter the first thing in the mornig and
at noon. Late in the afternoon feed all the mash food they will eat up clean.

Price: 100-lb. bag $3.25. By Express or Freight at Buyer’s Expense.

Crushed Oyster Shell.

The most frequent cause of hens not laying Is the absence in the food of carbonate of
lime. As crushed oyster shell is practically pure carbonate of lime, it supplies, when fed to
poultry, the most essential element and greatly aids in the formation of the egg and is a
general promotor of good health. 25 lbs. 65c; 50 lbs. $1.10; 100 lbs. $2.00. By Express or Freight
at Buyer’s Expense.

Ground Bone.

Our bone is made from fresh green bones from which the moisture and grease have been
taken, leaving nothing but the phosphates, lime and protein. These are the only food prop-
erties of bone, green or dry, so when you buy our bone you get It without paying freight on
moisture or grease. State whether chick or coarse ground Is wanted.

100 lbs. $4.75. By Express or Freight at Buyer’s Expense.

Poultry Grit.

It Is highly essential that poultry be given a plentiful supply of good, clean, sharp, and
lasting grit. Fowls cannot be healthy if grit Is denied them. Our grit is made in three sizes:
Fine for chicks, medium for fowls half grown, and coarse for grown fowls, turkeys, etc.

Put up in burlap sacks. State the size grit required when ordering. All sizes are the same
price and the same in quality. 25 lbs. 55c; 50 lbs. $1.00; ICO lbs. $1.75. By Express or Freight
at Buyer’s Expense.

Charcoal.

To keep fowls in a healthy state a regulator of some kind must be fed. Nothing takes the
place of charcoal in this respect, as It purifies the blood, aids digestion and tones up the whole
system. No matter whether your fowls are young or old, give them an occasional feed of
charcoal. Two sizes, fine and coarse. 100 lbs. $4.50. By Express or Freight at Buyer’s Ex-
pense.

Linseed Oil Cake Meal.

Aids digestion and assimilation of food. As It contains 40 per cent of protein, it Is com-
bined with grains and other food so as to make a balanced ration. Improves the health, vigor
and appearance of poultry. 50 lbs. $2.00; 100 lbs. $3.75. By Express or Freight at Buyer’s Ex-
pense.

Meat Scraps.

The Greatest Chick Grower and Egg Producer

on Earth.

Meat scraps are rich in materials which make bone,
muscle and lean meat. They insure health, thrift and vig-
or and satisfy the natural craving of the bird’s system
for flesh-food in some form. No other meat-food is so
highly concentrated and no suVjstitute is so convenient for
handling and storage. Will keep in any climate under all
conditions.

Price; 100 Igs. $5.00. By ElxprcMs or Freight at Buy-

Blatchford’s Milk Mash.

is a perfect milk-substitute for baby chicks from the shell
up to three months old, usually raising a hundred per cent
hatch — and have no bowel trouble. Indispensable for fat-
ening broilers, roasters and capons, and putting show
birds in the pink of condition for poultry shows.

Every five pounds raises one chick from the shell up
to three months old.

Price; 25 lbs. $1.75; 100 lbs. $6.50. By Express or Freight
at Buyer’s Expense.

Blatchford’s Calf Meal. The Complete Milk Equal.

This Is In reality a substitute for milk — and should not be
considered as an ordinary “feed” or “meal.”

It contains all the elements of milk and when properly prepared
becomes a “baby food” for the calves. It is just the thing for wean-
ing the calves as soon as they can be taken away from the cow. Then
all the milk may be sold and you get the benefit of the high creamery
prices.

It is absolutely the only-milk substitute that contains all the
elements necessary for rapid and healthy growth, and the only calf
meal that is thoroughly cooked and prepared for digestion.

100 pounds makes 100 gallons of Complete Milk-Equal.

Will push calves forward better and quicker than any other food.

25-lb. bag $1.75; 100-lb. bag $6.50. By Express or Freight at

Chicken Business by Eliminating the Excessive Death Loss that was so common
with the older types of oil-burning brooders.

You Fill this Brooder with Coal Once a Day and then it takes care of itself. It
is self-feeding, self-regulating, simple, safe and everlasting. It requires no special
kind of house, and is guaranteed to operate satisfactorily in any room that is big
enough for the chicks.

“Black Leaf 40”

Nicotine Sulphate — 40 per cent Nicotine.

This is the insecticide that is so highly recommended by Experiment Stations. It destroys
Aphis (plant lice), Thrips, Leaf-hoppers on all trees, bush and vine fruits, vegetables, field crops,
flowers and shrubs; also Apple Red Bug, Pear Psylla and similar soft-bodied sucking insects —
all without injury to foliage.

May be combined with other sprays. Highly concentrated. Soluble in water— easy to mix
— does not clog the nozzle.

“Black Leaf 40“ is a concentrated solution of Nicotine Sulphate and contains 40 per cent
of Nicotine by weight. The difference between “free” nicotine and nicotine sulphate is that
nicotine in the “free” state evaporates much more easily. Hence, the sulphate is to be pre-
ferred for purposes requiring more “lasting” properties, such as for spraying outdoor plants
and trees, but not for fumigating.

You cannot go wrong by ordering “Black Leaf 40” for sucking insects.

Prices: 1 oz. 25c, makes 6 gals, spray; % lb. $1.00 makes 40 to 120 gals, spray; 2 lbs. $3.25
makes 160 to 500 gals, spray. Sent only by Express or Freight at Buyer’s Expense.

remembered that powders are not effective in killing head lice, and this Is the only practical
way to reach them. It will pay for Itself in saving one chick.

Galvanized Iron Drinking Fountains.

The water supply is often the medium that conveys contagious dis-
ease from one fowl to another. In the drinking vessel it comes h on-
tact with and is infected by the discharge from the nostrils of i,apy
fowls and those having canker and chicken pox, and other head and
throat diseases. It is essential, therefore, that the drinking fountain
shall be not only a suitable vessel for holding water, but should also
be easy to clean, and of such material and construction that it may be
easily kept clean. These fountains are made of heavy galvanized iron,
all seams being carefully turned and soldered. Small size, 1 quart (for
chicks), 45c, postpaid 55c; medium size, 2 quarts (for growing chicks
or ducklings), 65c, postpaid 75c.

High Grade Tested Thermometers.

The best incubator or brooder manufactured is useless unless the thermometer used therein
is accurate. Hundreds of hatches in incubators fail because of inferior thermometers, and large
numbers of chickens are killed in brooders owing to
defective or worthless thermometers. The operator,
to be successful, must know the exact temperature in
the egg chamber of the incubator, and be sure that
the chickens in his brooder have the proper amount of
heat.

THE STANDARD SPRAY PUMP.

This pump is in reality simply a very care-
fully designed and accurately made “Squirt
Gun,” provided with a proper outfit of nozzles.

Its plan of operation is slightly different
from other types of spraying apparatus since
the hose is used on the suction end Instead of
the discharge end. This makes it possible to
use the pump with a bucket, barrel, tank, or
knapsack, depending upon the number of trees
or the kind of spraying to be done.

For bucket use a 3%-foot length of hose is
supplied. To use it with barrel or tank for a
large orchard, a longer hose up to 25 or 30
feet is desirable.

For spraying young or scattering trees or
truck crop such as potatoes, tobacco, etc., the

knapsack and short extension are used. With
these attachments, the Standard will spray
potatoes one row at a time at the rate of an
acre an hour or better.

WHAT THE STANDARD WILL DO.

Spray orchards large or small.

Spray vineyards and bushes.

Spray Potatoes and all truck crops.

64 VOGELER SEED COMPANY’S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE

A Seed Inoculant that
Increases Crop
Production.

Seeds of all legumes — beans, peas, clover, alfalfa, and related crops — will yield far better
if Inoculated with Farmogerm, and in addition leave in the soil a heavy deposit of nitrogen
which benefits all succeeding crops. Gardeners and farmers who have used Farmogerm would
not be without it.

Farmogerm Stays Good Indefinitely. Farmogerm keeps for years. Because of the method
of sealing the bottle — a patented stopper which admits filtered air and keeps out all impuri-
ties— Farmogerm is just as good in five years as when first bottled. Other inoculants get
weaker each day — Farmogerm always has its full strength. Just add water and shake the bottle
and sprinkle over the seeds as directed. Your crop will benefit beyond your expectations.

Farmogerm is Economical. No other inoculant on the market is so strong and virile; no
other inoculant will thoroughly treat as much seed. The one-acre size bottle of Farmogerm is
sufficient for 15 pounds of clover, 20 pounds of alfalfa, 100 pounds of Canada Field Peas.

Farmogerm Prices Reduced. New scientific methods of manufacture have given lower
prices. You cannot now afford to do without Farmogerm.

A special composite culture is prepared for peas, beans and sweet peas — i/l-acre size only.
You’ll get more peas and beans, and larger sweet peas by using this. Ask for No. 5, price 50c.

Farmogerm prices are: 1-acre size, $1; 3-acre size, $2.50. Postage Extra. Full directions ac-
company each bottle.

An All-the-Year Fertilizer for Garden and
House Plants. Growers of fine flowers, shrubs
and vegetables for the best markets and for ex-
hibition, fertilize and stimulate them frequent-
ly, a little at a time. An excellent fertilizer
for this purpose is Stim-U-planT, an oderless,
highly concentrated plant-food, in tablet form,
with guaranteed chemical analysis of 11 per
cent nitrogen, 12 per cent phosphoric acid, 15 per cent potash. The proportions are accurate,
there is no unnecessary filler, and in this form you are able to apply plant-food exactly when
and where and as needed.

Make Your Garden a Wonder Garden. These tablets increase production, heighten color and
improve quality. Many professional and amateur growers use them extensively all the year
round — from early spring until late fall out doors, during the winter for pot plants, hot-house
benches, etc. They are equally good for evergreens and other trees as for a small fern,
petunia or other potted plant.

Stim-U-plant Tablets can be used in tablet form, or dissolved in water at the rate of one
tablet to the quart. Complete directions with every package.

Order Stim-U-planT tablets with your seed order. Price; 30 for 25c. If postpaid. SOc.

Save Money By Saving Crops. It is estimated that rats and mice
consume grain each year in the United States alone to the value of
more than $10,000,000. Most of this waste can be saved if Rax is given
a chance.

Rax Is Not a Poison. "While it is absolutely deadly to rats
mice, it is harmless to human beings, domestic animals, poultry, and
birds. It may be used anywhere with complete safety.

Rats keave Before They Die. Within a few days after eating food prepared with Rax, rats
and mice become feverish and seek the open air. Thus they never die indoors always outsi
