YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS . — Be sure that your name and address are written very plainly on each order. We frequently have orders where either name is not given or address omitted. Also give plainly the R. F. D. number and box or street address. We acknowledge all orders above 25 cents by Post Card, giv- ing the number of your particular order. If such acknowledgement is not received, or if the order does not follow at once, write us about it. ’ CASH WITH ORDER . — The proper way is to send remittance in full to cover^order and postage. Remittance should be made by Post Office Money Order or Express Money Order. For amounts up to $1.00 clean unused Postage Stamps will be accepted. Checks on Phoenix 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. On large orders it is better to have them go by express or freight if your town is on a railroad. 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, Lon- don Purple and other poisons are not mailable, nor are liquids like Black Leaf 40 and other insecticides; they must go by express or freight. Seeds do not pack well with nursery stock, they may get damp and become spoiled ; it is therefore better to have them shipped separately. POQTAI 1?

We do not ship plants C. O. D. GUARANTEE. — Complaints that seeds are not of good germination might quite as often be attributed to other causes than the quality of the Seed. There are many contingencies arising to prevent the best seed giving satisfaction; such as sowing too deeply, too shallow, in too wet or too dry soil, insects may de- stroy the plants as soon as or before they appear, wet weather, cold weather, frosts, chemical changes in the seed induced by temperature, etc. For these reasons it is impracticable to guarantee seed under all circumstances, therefore the Arizona Seed & Floral Company give no warranty, expressed or implied as to description, quality, productiveness or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs, plants or trees they send out, and they will not be responsible in any way for the crop. If the pur- chaser does not accept the goods on these terms they are at once to be returned. Arizona Seed & Floral Company, A. W.

The instructions we give herein are based on actual experience in the Southwest and should aid you materially with your garden. Some succeed with whatever they plant. This should not be considered luck, but rather the “Knowing How” in little things that make the difference between a good garden and a poor one. You will always have problems of your own to work out. The condition of your soil may be different to that of your neighbor, or you may have more shade than he, but all these problems can be worked out satisfactorily. For this reason we have endeavored to enunciate certain primary principles rather than lay down defi- nite rules. LOCATION OF THE GARDEN A great many garden enthusiasts have the mistaken idea that the garden must be shaded. All vegetables and most all flowers should have a location where they are exposed to the sun all or most of the day to produce the desired growth. During the Winter growing season a garden protected or partly surrounded by a hedge or trees will produce earlier vege- tables and flowers, due to the fact that the protection thus afforded will hold the frost to a higher level than when exposed. Protection of this sort is not altogether necessary, as our coldest winters have produced wonderful yields of all our winter crops. THE UNTIDY YARD Is your yard worthy of comment as a well-kept garden and lawn or is it piled up with rubbish, tin cans, bricks, etc., and a sight to create unfavorable comment by your neigh- bor? If it is the latter, by all means Clean It Up. Do not allow the surface appearance of your soil to discourage your prospects for a garden, no matter how ungardenable it might appear. If you could look back and see some of the unsightly yards that have been trans- formed into beautiful gardens producing wonderful vegetables and flowers you would not hesitate in assisting nature to develop and beautify your own garden spot, thereby making it an enviable place in which to live. THE SOIL Build Up the Soil to the Maximum Producing Point Do not become discouraged if your soil does not produce the desired yield from your first attempt. If your soil is too heavy or too sandy it may be easily bettered. For soil of a heavy adobe nature and difficult to work nothing is better than a heavy dressing of good strawy stable manure. Better still, if your selected garden spot is covered with a heavy, coarse growth of bermuda grass, have it plowed under and allow it to lay until thoroughly decomposed. Both the stable manure and the bermuda sod have a tendency to loosen up and lighten the soil, and they also add humus. Gypsum or water-soaked lime spaded in often greatly improve the physical nature of tight soils. Strange to believe, the same mater- ials which lighten heavy soils will also improve the light, sandy soils. Manure spaded in will make light, sandy soils more compact and less liable to dry out quickly. Light soils quick- ly absorb the heat and in the early Spring months will mature a crop earlier than will the heavier soils. FERTILIZATION Every garden should receive annually at least one good application of manure. Barn- yard, sheep or poultry manure should, be used. If no manure is available, old leaves, straw, hay, or other trash may be used. This should be plowed or spaded under and then dragged or raked to put the ground in good condition. Sour clover, vetch, garden or field peas and similar winter crops may be planted on unused garden areas during the Winter and turned under in the Spring for green manuring. Summer crops such as Cow Peas, Soy Beans, Black-eyed Peas, etc., may be used in the same way during’ the Summer months. The soil that contains plenty of organic matter an dhumus is easier to cultivate, holds moisture bet- ter because of its porous and spongy character, and is less liable to become hard and baked when dry. Besides, well fertilized soil produces larger crops. For quick results in the gar- den Gromore is an excellent fertilizer to use. It responds quickly and gives excellent results. You will find it listed under Fertilizers. 4 Arizona Seed & Floral Company IRRIGATION AND CULTIVATION The successful g-arden requires good irrigation and cultivation. To begin with, the sur- face should be properly leveled, leaving just enough slope to carry the water down the fur- rows. Sandy soils should have more slope than heavy soil. Planting should be done in rows, as this method facilitates irrigation and clean and rapid cultivation. The rows should be as long as possible, but convenience in irrigation will determine the length and direction of the rows. It is always more economical to irrigate and cultivate long rows than short ones. During the Fall, Winter and Spring months, one irrigation every eight days, not including rainfall, is sufficient for the ordi nary vegetable crops. During the hot Summer months, most vegetables and flowers should be irrigated oftener. Remember that there should be suffi- cient irrigation to keep the plants healthy, succulent and strong. The amount of the water necessary depends largely on the nature of the soil. Light soils dry out more quickly than do heavy ones. Cultivation is as essential as irrigation. Frequent cultivation keeps the soil in good tilth, aerates the soil, and forms a dust mulch which helps to stop the excessive evaporation of moisture from the soil. Cultivate shallowly, so as not to disturb the roots of the plants. It is best to cultivate as soon after irrigation as the soil will allow. Frequent cultivation will also lessen the weed problem and you will have only occasional use for the hoe. Irrigation and cultivation can be lessened during the Summer months by mulching around the plants with manure or straw, which also tends to keep the ground cooler. Iron Age and Pull Easy garden tools (listed under Garden Tools) will greatly reduce labor and the saving in time soon pay for them. HOW TO RIDGE THE SOIL FOR IRRIGATION Garden culture under irrigation is quite different from that in which rainfall is de- pended upon. Flat culture is best in sections where adequate rainfall supplies all the mois- ture necessary but in the arid districts we must depend on irrigation. With irrigation the soil is ridged and the plants and seeds are planted on top of the ridge or on the sides. The ridge, not being flooded, does not become packed and no crust forms on the surface. The ridges should be from five to ten inches high at the center, and flattened out or rounded. Sharp narrow ridges dry out too quickly and do not keep their form. Furrows should be as narrow and shallow as convenient. For small garden crops the ridges should be from iy2 to 2 feet wide, with a row on both sides and for melons, etc., or plants like okra, pepper and tomatoes, the beds must necessarily be from 3 to 6 feet wide, the width to be judged from the size of the plants to be grown. Some prefer to set out plants such as tomato, pepper, egg plant, cabbage, etc., along single shallow furrows and ridge or hill up the plants later as they continue to grow. SEED PLANTING We attribute most failures with garden seeds to the fact that the seed is planted either too deep or too shallow. The best rule to follow is to plant in depth according to the size of the seed. For instance, seed like snapdragon, petunia, portulaca, and all seed which is very fine should be sown on the surface of the soil, padded down lightly with a block of wood and then covered lightly with a mulch of sand and finely pulverized manure, A piece of burlap over the seed bed will lessen the evaporation, and hasten germination. The mulch is absolutely necessary with all fine seeds and is used with great success for all plantings regardless of the size of the seed. Medium small seed such as sweet Alyssum, verbena, turnip, lettuce, etc., should be sown from one-fourth to one-half inch deep. Large seed, such as calendula, hollyhock, beet, radish, etc., should be planted three-fourths to one inch deep. Sweet corn, peas and beans should be planted from iy2 to 2i/^ inches deep. Dur- ing the hottest weather it is best to plant all seeds a little deeper, as the soil dries out more rapidly. Always plant seed in moist soil, never in dry. Start cultivating the young plants as soon as you can without disturbing the roots. Seeds that are hard should be soaked in water from 24 to 38. hours before planting. ALKALI SPOTS Alkali spots are caused by the accumulation of soluble matter at the surface of the soil. Some alkali spots of black or chocolate brown color contain injurious amounts of so- dium carbonate and are reclaimed with difficulty. Practically all other alkali salts, even those having a black appearance, are readily washed .out of the soil. To control permanent- ly alkali, the cause, almost invariably a high water table, must be removed. Next, any plan which will cause large quantities of water to be carried down through the soil to a depth be- low the root zone of plants is necessary. Application of this principle depends upon the individual circumstances. The soil should be plowed or spaded deeply, basined off with high, strong borders and flooded with an excess of water. Irrigation water may be left standing on the land for a few days, or if more desirable, as much water as will soak into the soil in 8 or 10 hours may be applied, followed by three or four similar irrigations at intervals of a week. Coarse organic matter plowed or spaded in deeply greatly assists the penetration of water, as does irrigation on rough plowing. Phoenix, Arizona 6 If the above treatment does not suffice it means that your soil is especially tight, or that it contains large amounts of sodium carbonate, in which event, reclamation is more costly. In such a case, if your acreage is very limited, apply gypsum at the rate of 1 pound per two square feet of soil, and carry on one of the leaching processes above described. If your acreage is large, consult a soil chemist and ascertain more definitely the amount of gyp- sum per acre that should be used. After the alkali is leached out, add organic matter, preferably barnyard manure, in large quantities. This will have a beneficial physical and chemical effect on your soil. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMBATING INSECT PESTS Burn All Diseased Garden Refuse At certain times of the year there is always more or less refuse left in the garden, such as melon vines, old roots, plant tops and weeds. Some of this material would make fine fertilizer if spaded into the soil, but much of the refuse is liable to be diseased. The best plan, then, is to rake all the refuse in piles and burn it. ASSIST YOUR GARDEN CROPS IN RESISTING DISEASE BY FREQUENT CULTIVATION A vegetable or flower garden, rose bush, tree or any form of plant life is very much like the human body, which if kept in good physical condition is better able to resist dis- ease. Keep the plants growing and strong by frequent cultivation and they will be better able to resist disease and insect attacks. HOW TO COMBAT THE INSECT PEST When you discover insects on your plant, determine first in which class they belong by the damage they are doing. There are three classes of insects — namely, chewing, suck- ing and underground insects. CHEWING INSECTS are those that chew or eat the plants above the ground. These are easy to fight as it is simply a matter of applying poison to their food. Cabbage worms, tomato worms and the rose slug are common insects which eat holes in the leaves and fruit. These bugs are easily killed by applying a poison either in liquid or dry form. We recom- mend Paris Green or Arsenate of Lead as the most effective poisons. SUCKING INSECTS. These insects do not chew the leaves but suck the juices from the inside of the plant tissues. A poison as appliel for the chewing insects will not affect them, as it is necessary to use something that comes in contact with the body to kill them. All kinds of lice and aphis and squash and cucumber beetles are sucking insects. We es- pecially recommend either Black Leaf 40 Nicotine or Nico Dust to destroy these pests. When using Black Leaf 40, Fish Oil Soap should be used with it, both to make the liquid adhere to the foliage and also as a repellent, as the soap has a disagreeable odor.- When Black Leaf 40 or Nico Dust is used the liquid or the fumes hit the body of the insect and it is taken up into the breathing pores and kills. Early and constant watching and spray- ing or dusting is necessary as sucking insects work fast and get out of the way quickly. Spray when they make their first appearance, as they spread and multiply rapidly. UNDERGROUND INSECTS. These are hard to get at and require different treat- ment than the two previously mentioned. The common kind is the root maggot. We also- have root lice, wire worms and cut worms that damage the underground parts of the plants.. Clean culture and crop rotation are the most reliable practices, while much good comes, from thorough cultivation. Cut worms and wire worms can be controlled to a certain ex- tent by scattering poison bran mash over the surface of the ground around the plants. To- bacco dust is* a very good repellent. The use of carbon bi-sulphide is very effective on all underground pests. This liquid forms a heavy gas which sinks into the soil and destroys any insect life it reaches. Use moderately as carbon bi-sulphide injures some plants, CUT WORMS. The control of these pests has always been a difficult problem. They delight in sneaking around at night and cutting off young and tender plants at the surface of the ground. The best method we know of for controlling these pests is the use of poison bait (see Formula for Poison Bran Mash). Scatter the poison bait freely around the plants and it will be found very effective. The cut worms will eat the bait in preference to green vegetation.

Phoenix, Arizona 7 WONDERFUL BARGAIN COLLECTIONS OF VEGETABLE SEEDS You may wonder why we offer seeds in these collections at bargain prices. The first reason is that it encourages the use of a greater number of kinds of vegetables and promotes the use of a greater variety of vegetables in the gardens and on the table. Another reason is that during the winter months we have more time to assemble these collections and prepare them for mailing, so all that is necessary during our rush season is the addressing and stamping. All varieties in these collections are tried and proven sorts and all packets are full size and contain the highest quality seed, the same as though you were buying each item separately. We can not allow any change in the collections and no seeds other than these collections will be sold at these reduced prices. GARDEN COLLECTION No. 1 No. 1— 50c 14 Well Filled Packets 1 pkt.

CULTURAL DIRECTIONS Sow during February and March in beds broadcasted or in rows, covering about one inch. A light straw mulch on the surface will prevent soil from crusting. Seed should be soaked 24 hours before sowing. The following January or February transplant to rows three or four feet apart and one foot apart in the rows, with at least six inches of soil over the roots; light loamy soil is preferable. Much time and labor will be saved by planting two-year-old roots. See page 39. PALMETTO — An early and productive sort, throwing light green shoots, slightly tinted pink. This variety is very popular among mar- ket gardeners. We can supply roots of these about January 15th, and later. Seed, (Pkt. 10c), (oz. 20c), (^4 lb. 45c), (lb. $1.25), postpaid.

When once planted it lasts several years. Seed Seed, (Pkt. 10c), (oz. $1.20), postpaid. BEANS-Frijole WRITE FOR QUANTITY PRICES CULTURAL DIRECTIONS Beans require well drained loamy soil and frequent cultivation. Use manure sparingly as it has a tendency to run the plants to too much vine. Irrigate beans only when necessary and do not flood the vines. Cultivate before the soil has a chance to crust. For a Spring crop plant in late February, March and early April. For Fall crop plant in August and early September. Bush beans should be planted about three inches apart in three-foot rows at the rate of one lb. to 80 ft. of row and from 75 to 100 lbs. per acre. Plant pole beans at the rate of one lb. to 200 ft. of row or 40 lbs. to the acre. We list herein only varieties that are strictly adapted to our climatic conditions. For mildew on beans use powdered sulphur. (See page 50 for Insecticides). BUSH VARIETIES IMPROVED STRINGLESS GREEN POD — This is by far the leading green pod vari- ety, possessing the invaluable quality of bearing pods without strings or threads. Our stock is particularly adapted to Arizona con- ditions and is a wonderful producer. (Pkt. 5c), (1/2 lb. 20c), (1 lb. 35c), (10 lbs. $3.00), postpaid. BLACK WAX — A very popular variety for the home garden, being one of the earliest and bearing round meaty pods of deep golden yel- low. It is almost entirely stringless and carries the excellent flavor for which all wax beans are noted. (Pkt. 5c), (Yp lb. 20c), (1 lb. 35c), (10 lbs. $3.00), postpaid. IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX— Although this is not the earliest dwarf bean it is a sure and heavy cropper. The quality is good, it being entirely without strings or fibres at all stages until maturity. Pods are of rich golden yellow. (Pkt. 5c), (^^2 lb. 20c), (lb. 35c), (10 lbs. $3.00), postpaid. IMPROVED STRINGLESS GREEN POD POLE BEANS Plant three to four feet apart each way.

AZTEC BEANS — First discovered in the old Aztec ruins of Arizoiia. It is very large, some- what resembling a Lima, except that it is round. The Aztec is at home in arid Sections and pro- duces enormous crops of fine plump beans that may be either shelled green and cooked or 'cooked dry. Owing to the limited supply we can offer them only in small quantities. (Pkt. 10c), (lb. 75c), postpaid.

See page 581 Phoenix, Arizona 11 BEET — ^Betabel-o-Remolacha CULTURE In the small garden beets may be grown In rows 12 inches apart, in the field 18 to 24 inches. They may be planted from August 1 to June 1. One ounce of seed will sow 50 feet of row and six or seven pounds are required for an acre. If the soil is in perfect condition beet seed will germinate readily, but they should not be plant- ed in wet, soggy ground in the Winter time. Frequent cultivation is necessary for rapid and tender growth. While it is true beets will endure considerable drouth and neglect, grow- ing under these conditions they become woody and ill shaped, particularly in our heavy adobe soil. Keep them well cultivated and they will produce table size beets in 65 to 70 days. BEET — ECLIPSE ECLIPSE— Not quite as early as the Egyp- tian. It is nearly round and has a small top. The flesh is of a bright red color, very fine grained, tender and sweet. (Pkt. 5c), (oz. 20c), lb. 45c), (lb. $1.25), postpaid. CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN — A medium sized beet, very early and of small top. It is a globe variety of deep crimson, sweet and tender. We recommend it highly for market gardeners or home garden. (Pkt. 5c), (oz. 20c), (J4 lb. 45c), (lb. $1.25), postpaid. SWISS CHARD EXTRA EARLY EGYPTIAN— An early dark red flat variety, which we recommend for late Spring and Summer planting, it having been thoroughly demonstrated by Salt River Valley market gardeners that it is far superior to any other for planting at this time. (Pkt. 5c), (oz. 20c), (1/4 lb., 45c), (lb. $1.25), postpaid. EARLY BLOOD TURNIP— One of the early sorts; turnip shaped, dark red and of medium size.

Medium sized, globular or nearly round, with a fine grained, dark red flesh. (Pkt. 5c), (oz. 20c), (1/4 lb. 45c), (lb. $1.25), postpaid. LONG BLOOD — A splendid variety for sandy soil, but should be avoided if soil is heavy as it is almost impossible to harvest them. Flesh is very dark red and beet long, symmetrical shape. (Pkt. 5c), (oz. 20c), (14 lb. 45c), (Ib. $1.25), postpaid. SWISS CHARD — A foliage beet used for greens. Cook the leaves as you do Spinach and the stems in cream like Asparagus.

See page 46) BUY THE BEST— WE DO 12 Arizona Seed & Floral Company STOCK BEETS FOR FEEDING STOCK BEETS have for years been recognized as a most valuable feed for hogs, sheep and cattle, throughout Europe, Canada and also the Eastern and Middle Western States of America. Stock Beets are one of the finest fat and milk-producing crops we have today and when fed in conjunction with grain they are worth nearly as much, pound for pound, as the grain itself. Stock Beets also furnish excellent feed for chickens and rabbits. PRODUCTION AND COSTS The average production of Stock Beets at our trial grounds was 35 tons per acre. This is not exceptional— 80 tons per acre has been reported. CULTURE * STOCK BEET SEED should be sown about one inch deep, in well cultivated soil in drills eighteen inches to three feet apart (depending upon the method of cultivation). When the plants are sufficiently large, thin out to stand ten to twelve inches apart in the rows. The seed is generally sown at the rate of eight to ten pounds per acre. Beet Seed is very hard and does not germinate as easily as other seeds, therefore the soil should be very moist at the time the seed is planted. If the soil should be dry it is advisable to soak the seed in luke- warm water for 24 hours before planting. MAMMOTH LONG RED — A very large mangel and a heavy cropper. Skin is red, flesh white, zoned with red. This is the most popular variety grown. (Pkt. 5c), (oz. 15c), (lb. 60c), (10 lbs. $6. 00), ..postpaid.

The seed we offer is of the most highly selected strains and will produce wonderfully tender, crisp cabbage. In the southern valleys of Arizona seed should be sown the latter part of August and during September in shaded beds, the shade to be of burlap or something that may be removed before plants become spindling. For small head- ing varieties, such as Early Winningstadt and Jersey Wakefield, plant in rows three feet apart and 18 inches apart in the row. Begin trans- planting as soon as plants are large enough and cultivate constantly. One-half pound of seed should be planted to grow plants for one acre. The illustrations appearing on these pages are from actual photographs taken of seed field specimens. CABBAGE— EARLY WINNINGSTADT EARLY WINNINGSTADT— One of the best for general use, being a medium sized head, very solid and of uniform shape. It is the lead- ing variety for Southern Arizona, and our strain of seed is selected from a sure-heading type. (Pkt. 5c), (oz. 35c), (14 lb. $1.20), (lb. $3.50), postpaid. SLUIS BROTHERS NO. 2— This variety ma- tures between the Copenhagen Market and the Winningstadt. It is round headed, gets larger than the Copenhagen and does not crack easily. It has done splendidly under dry weather con- ditions, developing perfect heads. We recom- mend it for both early and late. The heads are very solid and will keep almost as well as those of the Danish Winter Cabbage. We are con- vinced that this new in.troduction of ours will find its way very quickly. We were fortunate in securing a few pounds of Holland-grown seed and would recommend a trial of at least a small quantity. (Pkt. 10c), (oz. 40c), (4 lb. $1.35), (lb. $4.00), ..postpaid. EARLY JERSEY WAK E FI ELD — Slightly larger than the Winningstadt, heads conical shape and very compact. A good second early variety. (Pkt. 5c), (oz. 35c), (!4 lb. $1.20), (lb. $3.50), Postpaid. EARLY FLAT DUTCH— Very hardy, hand- some, solid and of fine quality; particularly de- sirable for shipping to distant market. (Pkt. 5c), (oz. 35c), (!/4 lb. $1.20), (lb. $3.50), postpaid. ALL HEAD EARLY — A thoroughbred sort of remarkable uniform size and shape, and sureheading qualities. Deep flat heads, solid and uniform in color, and in tenderness unsur- passed. By reason of its compactness one thousand more heads can be obtained from one acre than of any other good-sized varieties. (Pkt. 5c), (oz. 40c), (1/4 lb. $1.35), (lb. $4.00), postpaid. RED DUTCH — Fine solid, dark red heads, used for boiling or pickling. This variety car- ries a flavor all its own. (Pkt. 10c), (oz. 40c), (14 lb. $1.35), (lb. $4.00), postpaid. DANISH BALLHEAD— Cactus Brand DANISH BALLHEAD — A medium sized very solid variety which will remain in good condi- tion longer than most sorts. It is one of the hardiest Winter cabbages we have. Being a very strong grower, it demands a reasonably rich soil and will respond readily to fertilizer. We cannot recommend Cactus Brand Danish Ballhead too highly. (Pkt. 10c), (oz. 40c), (!4 lb. $1.35), (lb. $4.00), postpaid. LATE LARGE FLAT DUTCH— A large flat head with a few useless outer leaves. Cuts white and crisp. Grows low vdth a very short stem.

The spherical heads reach, even with very small growing space, an average weight of about nine pounds. The stem is low, the leaves, in relation to the size of the head, are very small and fine. One great feature about Cactus Brand Copenhagen Market is that about 95 per cent of the heads are suitable for cutting at the same time so that the land may be cleared almost completely at one cutting. Under favorable growing conditions this Cabbage will mature in 12 to 15 weeks from time of transplanting and it is gradually becoming a favorite among gardeners and shippers. Arizona climatic conditions are unsettled. During the Cabbage season we may have a great variety of weather within a week and it takes a hardy strain of seed to produce a plant that will be a success under these conditions. Cactus Brand Copenhagen Market will prove hardy under arid climatic conditions and will produce a crop. (Pkt. 10c), (oz 40c), lb. $1.35), (lb. $4.00), postpaid. CAULIFLOWER— Coliflor ASK FOR OUR SPECIAL PAMPHLET Especially popular as a winter crop and with market gardeners proves a profitable crop, ow- ing to the scarcity of good market vegetables when Cauliflower is at its best.

SEED TESTING To insure our customers as much as possi- ble from purchasing seed of low vitality, we are constantly testing various varieties of seeds — both field and garden — using for the purpose modern electric testing and germinating ma- chines. As a result of our efforts along this line, we are in a position to detect inferior goods and eliminate the seed from our stock. Any seed failing to meet the requirements and which we have reason to believe would not give entire satisfaction, are immediately removed from stock and not offered to our customers. We be- lieve that work of this nature is worth while and when we consider we are here to give value received and cannot do so unless we put out high quality seeds, we figure that this work is more than justified, and, in the long run, we are more than repaid, for it means “satisfied customers.” (See page 9 for Lawn Grass Seed) BUY THE BEST— WE DO 16 Arizona Seed & Floral Company CARROT — ^Zanahoria The Carrot is one of the most wholesome and nutritious of our garden roots and it may be prepared in many appetizing ways.

Phoenix, Arizona 17 SWEET CORN — ^Maiz Dulce EARLY ADAMS CULTURE Sweet Corn should be planted in the Spring, when all danger of frost is over and when the ground is warm enough to prevent the seed from decaying. Tellow Dent, Sacaton June and Hickory King may be planted in July as well, and Sweet Corn in August and early Septem- ber. One pound of seed will plant about 200 feet of row and about 10 pounds is required for one acre. Plant in hills 18 inches apart, with rows three feet apart. Plant four or five seed to the hill, but do not allow more than two stalks to stand, and remove all side shoots. Cultivate after each irrigation until corn shades the ground; this is very important. Irrigation should be governed largely by the texture of the soil, but never allow the soil to become dry. All varieties listed here are successfully grown in Arizona. For larger quantities than found listed, write for special prices. For Corn Worm, we recommend dusting with Arsenate of Lead; (see page 50).

WE WILL GLADLY MAIL OUR CATALOG TO ANY OF YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGH- BORS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN GARDENING Phoenix, Arizona 21 LETTUCE — Lechuga CULTURE — Lettuce is very exacting as to soil requirements. It is best suited to a rich, light loam, and should never be planted on soils of poor quality. Irrigation is necessary through- out the entire growing period, except during the rainy season, but the crop is easily ruined by an excess of water. The crop stands cold better than heat. At the time of planting, the soil should be in the finest possible condition. The plants should be grown on ridges, 12 to 18 inches wide, four to six inches high and 10 to 15 inches apart. The water should be run between the ridges and not flow over the tops, and should never be , allowed to cover the plants. There should always be an adequate amount of moisture in the soil from the time the plants have commenced to head until they have matured. Cultivation is necessary after each irrigation as the soil should never be allowed to harden around the plants. . Hard head lettuce, such as Arizona Wonderful, New York, Big Boston and Hanson, should be planted from September on and Iceberg head lettuce and leaf lettuce in Janu- ary, February and March. In warm weather the lettuce should be cut early in the morning and never when the heads are wet, as in that condition they will heat and quickly rot. The field is gone over from two to five times during the cutting season. Plant from 2 to, 3 pounds of seed to the acre. ICEBERG — A splendid Head Lettuce.

As the vines grow, hill the earth about them until the roots are 10 to 12 inches deep. When the vines are safely established, thin out, leaving only two vines to the hill. It is a good plan to establish your rows by throwing the soil toward the center, with one round of plowing, and cultivate every week during the early growth of the plants. This gives deep cultivation at the time it is needed, mulches the soil properly, makes proper rows slightly raised in the center, allowing a low place between for irrigating, as soon as the nature of the soil will permit. If these instructions are carefully followed you will have thrifty vines throughout the season. Use one ounce of seed for the average garden. One ounce will plant 20 to 30 hills. Three pound is required to the acre. KLECKLEY’S SWEET OUR CACTUS BRAND KLECKLEY’S SWEET Good Producer — ^Good Flavor — Good Shipper It is quite difficult to make a choice of Watermelons.

GREEN FLESH Honey Dew Melon THE LAST WORD IN FLAVOR Honey Dew Melon— The average size of this melon is six Inches in diameter and seven to eight inches in length, weighing about six pounds. The skin is smooth and is a creamy yellow when ripe. The flesh is an emerald green, very thick, and of the very finest flavor, having a mingling of banana, pineapple and vanilla. It begins maturing about ten days later than can- taloupes and is very prolific. The melon slips from the stem, and for home use they should not be pulled until they reach that stage. Because of their keeping qualities they are excellent shippers, many carloads of them going East the past sea- son. (Pkt. 10c), (oz. 25c), Alb. 85c), (lb. $2.50), postpaid. GOLDEN HONEY DEW Developed from a sport from the green meated Honey Dew. The flesh is a rich golden color. Very sweet and spicy. Many prefer it and it should pay the grower well.

See page 50) Phoenix, Arizona 25 MUSKMELONS-Melone or CANTALOUPE CULTURE Muskmelons must not under ordinary gardening conditions be planted until all danger of frost is past. Warm ground is essential to the germination of the seed, for if planted too early in the Spring it will rot. It is highly important that your soil should be in proper planting condition. First, it must be thoroughly soaked or irrigated. Second, as quickly as the moisture has thor- oughly penetrated and the soil is in a tillable or workable condition, spade or plow the ground and see tha> it is thoroughly pulverized. Third, prepare furrows 6 to 8 inches in depth and 5 to 7 feet apart, according to space you can spare. Fourth, plant the seed in the furrows about 6 feet apart, covering the seed not more than 1 inch deep and as the plant grows, gradually fill up the furrow about it with soil until level with surface. Continuous cultivation is now necessary and where soil conditions require, systematic irrigation should be followed. Do not, however, irrigate close to the plant as it will 'cause dampening off, and other diseases. The roots of the plant being as long as the vine, close up irrigation is not necessary and in cultivating see that these roots are not dis- turbed as it would ruin the plant. Practice frequent shallow cultivation. Plant 8 seeds to the hill and when thoroughly established pull out all but three. One and one-half to two pounds of seed is used to an acre. IMPROVED EDEN GEM Without doubt this is the best general purpose melon on the market today. It is uni- form, well netted and a fine melon for market or home use. Several carloads of them were shipped from this valley last season and they commanded a good price. The above photo- graph shows them packed ready for shipment and will give some idea of their uniformity. They produce wonderfully and ship well. The meat is green, with a slight salmon tint in the seed cavity. Our seed is from first cut select melons only and will produce the finest melons you ever had in your garden.

Picking at the proper time is very important. If desired for immediate use do not pick un- til the rind will give under pressure, using the thumb to determine this. If rind is firm the melon is not ripe and full flavor has not yet developed. Casabas can be picked green and held in s torage until ripe. Green melons are used for ship- ments of any distance. Do not pick for shipment until the melon has lost its shiny appearance. GOLDEN BEAUTY Golden Beauty — Grows from six to eight inches in diameter, nearly round, color a perfect golden yel- low and rind very hard. This is perhaps the best fla- vored variety of casaba.

PEANUTS A GREAT AMERICAN FOOD Plant more peanuts — they are one of America’s best and cheapest foods. One pound of whole peanuts contains nearly one-half pound of fat and one-fourth pound of protein, while one pound of beefsteak yields less than one-third as much and one pound of eggs less than one-fifth that amount. The demand for peanuts as a food is increasing by leaps and bounds and great strides are being made in its culture and consumption. Thousands of acres are planted in the United States every year, the average yield being 34 bushels per acre. Peanuts require a five to six months’ growing season. In Southern valleys they should be planted in March or April, when danger of frost is over; they will then mature about September. It requires about 10 pounds shelled or 15 pounds of unshelled nuts to plant an acre. Plant about 20 inches apart in the row and the rows 3 feet apart. In irrigaited districts plant level and gradually hill to row. Irrigate about three times per month during hot weather and cultivate after each irrigation.

For green onions plant from Sept. 15 to March 1, in double rows six inches apart on ridges 12 inches apart at the rate of 4 oz. of seed to 100 feet of row. Thin out as pulled for table use and if any are left they will produce mature onions in five to seven months from planting. They will respond read- ily to liberal fertilization, chicken or barn yard manure being highly recommended. Some com- mercial fertilizers will force them but affect the keeping qualities. If you contemplate an acreage of onions do not fail to get our illustrated ‘catalogue on the Iron Age Planter. One of these famous planters will pay for itself in the saving of seed on one crop.

They are very hardy and will stand a great deal of frost. Plantings made later than April will not prove very profitable, as they do not thrive in hot weather. In localities where frost does not occur until the middle of November, the quick-maturing sorts may be planted about the middle of September for a fall crop. Dwarf varieties can be planted in rows 1 to 18 inches apart, and the tall ones in rows 3 feet apart. When the planting is done during the cold months, the seed should be put down from 1 to 2 inches, and in the warmer months from 3 to 4 inches. In the garden the pods should be kept picked, as the plants will bear longer. The tall varieties will continue bearing mu'ch longer than the dwarf kinds.

FORMULA FOR DISINFECTING SEED POTATOES Dissolve one ounce of bi-chloride of mercury in one gallon of hot water. Add sufficient water to make seven gallons of liquid. Leave potatoes in solution for at least one and one-half hours. Wooden, stone or cement vessels should be used. This is imperative.

Prepare the ground by deep plowing, thoroughly pulverizing and fertilizing with well-rotted manure. A sandy loam, reasonably rich in organic matter, is considered the best soil for pota- toes; however, any soil that is light and easily worked and contains a good supply of plant food will grow them successfully. Most of our soils lack proper bacteria for growing potatoes, and a green crop, preferably a legume, should be planted in the Fall and plowed under at least two or three weeks before potato planting begins. Small whole potatoes are the best for our conditions: however, pieces of potatoes with one or two eyes do very well if the weather is not too cold. The great difference in temperature be- tween night and day is rather hard on the vitality of cut seed. We recommend planting about 3 or 4 inches deep and in hills 9 inches apart in 3-ft. rows. Potatoes should be cultivated frequently, but should not be irrigated until absolutely neces- sary. There should be enough moisture in the soil before planting to carry the plants well along until the tubers are about the size of a walnut. This is very important.

A Queen costs but little more, and the extra chicks that live and grow soon pay the dif- ference. Remember, it is not how many chicks hatch that counts, how many you raise. Chicks that hatch oiit weak and wobbly, and live but a few days mean nothing to you but trou- ble and loss. They make one sick of the poultry business. Most of the chicks you lose in the first few weeks die because they did not have, when hatched, enough strength and vi- tality for a good start. Queen Incubators are famous the country over for big hatches of strong, healthy chicks that live and grow.

Phoenix (Plant Hairy Peruvian Alfalfa for Chicken Runs. See page 57) FOR POULTRY The “New Model” Alfalfa Cutter cuts either green or dry, such growths as clover, alfalfa, vegetable tops, etc., into 1-8 inch lengths. These growths are the cheapest and most productive egg-forming poultry foods for cold weather. They return big profits when reduced to a fine, easily di- gested mass. The Cutting Mechanism is the most vital- ly important part of an Alfalfa Cutter. The radically different construction of the “New Model” admits of perfect cutting at all times, because the cutter bar is adjustable and easily accessible, and the four 7-inch spiral steel knives can readily be removed for sharpening. The “New Model” is made only of iron and steel, from entirely new patterns. It is a strong feeder, has large capacity, runs un- usually easy and will do perfect work in- definitely. The machine is intended to be mounted on a box or bench at any height to suit the operator. Length over all, 28i/2 inches. Weight knocked down, 70 pouiids. BUY THE BEST— WE DO 44 Arizona Seed &.

It supplies fresh air to the chicks without drafts. It is circular, therefore has no corners for crowding, the heat is radi- ated downward upon the backs of the chicks.

Phoenix QUEEN COLONY BROODER THIS IS A NEW AND IMPROVED DESIGN OF BROODER STOVE We have studied the Brooder Stove situation in this country for eight years and have come to the conclusion that the coal burner is the most reliable and surely the most satisfactory stove for our climatic conditions. In the first place it is the most economical. Last season we proved by test that the Queen Colony Brooder ran the season on less than half the expense of our oil-burn- ing stoves. The great objection to a coal-burning brooder stove is the fact that it burns coal, but we have proven to our own satisfaction that the saving in fuel, the ab- solute reliability and the convenience of the Queen Col- ony Brooder make it easily the most desirable brooder stove. Brooding chicks in Arizona is a serious problem. So many folks think that because the sun shines seven days in the week in a moderate climate that it is not necessary to make elaborate preparations for brooding, but that idea is all wrong. A chick that gets chilled is a weakling, its growth is stunted and it is subject to white diarrhoea. On the other hand, if they are kept warm and growing, the loss is very much less and a strong, healthy brood is the result. The original investment in a brooder stove may seem large, but if one stops to think that the loss of 200 chicks in a season will probably cover the original investment and the equipment is still good for years to come. Good brooding is just as important as good hatching, and the Queen Colony Brooder will do the job right.

Just the tool for the mechanic, professional man or a farmer who wants to help the wife with her garden. The specialist, too, who grows chiefly a single crop requiring few changes from seeder to wheel hoe will find No. 306 a most economical tool. Since it can be stored away in a small space and all changes can be quickly and easily made, it is a favorite with the home gardener in town or city. It will open its own furrow, sow in con- tinuous rows or drop in hills, cover the seed with loose soil, pack it with a roller and mark the next row. ($22.00). Here is an important tool, built especially for those who do not care for a combined tool but desire a separate machine for each purpose.

It should be planted at the rate of 2% to 3 pounds to the acre in drills 3 feet apart. Planting this quantity requires two seeds to be dropped every 24 inches, which distance will allow for stooling. In our yearly experiments we have noted that if Avondale Maize is given room the result is usually a stool of from three to seven stalks, each bearing a large well-filled head; while on the other hand, if it is crowded the tendency is to grow to a greater height and the heads are smaller, thereby making harvesting more difficult and more expensive. The usual custom is to plant with a lister, on pre- viously irrigated land, with sufficient moisture to germinate the seed. The first culti- vation may be with a harrow, to be followed later by an implement that will gradually fill the lister row and leave a dust mulch. This seed has been rogued and hand-picked in the field selected, re-cleaned and thoroughly screened, thereby eliminating all small, imperfect and immature seeds. The common tendency is to plant too much seed per acre, therefore we urge you to follow these directionss closely and obtain maximum results.

ARIZONA DWARF MILO MAIZE— Hand Selected ARIZONA DWARF is a wonderful strain of dwarf Milo Maize. This is a heavy pro- ducing, highly selected strain growing waist high and very uniform, thereby making a crop which is easily harvested. By listing 3 pounds to the acre it produces large well-filled heads that give us the maximum yield we are all looking for. Our method of thoroughly re- cleaning and screening our seed stock eliminates all small and immature seed. Arizona Dwarf should be planted and cultivated in the same manner as our famous Avondale Milo Maize. (Per Ib. 15c), (10 lbs. $1.00), (50 lbs. $4.50), (100 lbs. $8.00). Express or postage extra.

Results obtained from our experiments during the past season were so gratifying that not a doubt remains but what Hegari is one of the most reliable and profitable crops for the Arid Southwest. Unlike most other grain sorghums, Hegari not only produces a heavy crop of grain, but because of the sweet juicy stalk and foliage it has the added feature of making good pasture or roughage. The heads mature in about 115 days from planting and the stalks re- main green much longer, making excellent forage, which all kinds of stock relish and which they will eat to the ground. The average grain yield of Hegari seems to be about 4,000 pounds of threshed grain per acre, and we think with our selected seed and good cultivation that this yield may be materially increased. Hegari grows about five feet high, produces a long, well-filled, white head, resembling Milo Maize. It should be planted in rows three feet apart at the rate of three pounds to the acre. It is drouth resistant, but will respond won- derfully to cultivation and irrigation. Our seed is grown from head selected stock and is systematically rogued in the field. The photograph above speaks for itself. Compare it with other fields you saw the past season and judge for yourself whether or not it pays to plant properly selected seed. The cost of planting AVONDALE HEGARI is very small, and taking yield into consideration, it would be expensive to plant any other.

FETE RITA — This sorghum was recently se- cured from the Sudan, where it is commonly grown under the name F'eterita, an early ma- turing plant valued both for grain and forage.

Produces Two to Three Tons More Hay per Acre CUTTING CACTUS BRAND HAIRY PERUVIAN IN DECEMBER At the present price of Alfalfa Hay in the Salt River Valley, an increased yield of two to three tons of hay per season is well worth while. Hairy Peruvian Alfalfa is particularly adapt- ed to a climate such as we have in Southern Arizona and California. Due to its frost resist- ance, it enjoys a long growing season, begin- ning its spring growth very early and growing throughout the Winter in favored sections. It produces a greater number of leaves than any other variety, thus making a most highly nu- tritious hay. It recovers quickly from cutting and grows very rapidly. Hairy Peruvian is distinctly an Arizona product. It is grown almost exclusively in this Valley now and has proved to be all that was ever claimed for it. Our seed fields are se- lected and rogued by experts who are thorough- ly familiar with the work of growing pure seed, and it is with a great deal of pride that we offer what we consider the best strain of seed on the market. We would suggest that you inoculate your seed with Mulford Culture, as this will ma- terially increase your yield the first year. Plant 15 pounds to the acre.

It resembles Alfalfa in appearance, habit of growth and in food content. It thrives in a variety of soils, growing well in almost pure sand and in the hardest adobe, and adapts itself to almost all conditions of climates. It is used for hay, pasture and green manure as -well as fertilizing and renovating worn-out and alkaline soils. It may be killed when desired by mowing when in bloom.

As a hay crop, it is usually sown with oats or wheat to hold them up. Sow 40 pounds per acre with grain. Is hardy and makes a fine Winter growth. Largely planted in the orange groves of the South for green manure, and plowed under in FIELD PEAS WHIP-POOR-WILL COW PEAS As a soil renovator and a fertilizer the Cow Pea is in a class by itself. The heavy cropping of our soil year after year necessitates careful crop rotation to keep the land fertile and in good producing condition, and the Whip-poor- Will has proven one of the best varieties for this purpose in the Arid Southwest. Makes a heavy vining growth, forming a mat three to five feet deep on the ground. It may be plowed under as a green manure crop, pastured, or cut for hay. On extremely heavy soils, where humus is decidedly la'cking, it is far better to plow under the entire crop, but even though it is cut for hay or is pastured, the store of nitro- gen resulting from the crop will add not less than 20 per cent to the succeeding crop, what- ever it may be. Cow Peas are easily germin- ated in mid-summer in our Southern valleys and this is one reason for their popularity. They should be planted at the rate of 30 pounds to the acre, in rows 3 feet apart, and should by all means be inoculated with a good nitrogen fix- ing bacteria. We have Mulford Culture for this purpose and will explain its merits fully to those seeking further information. Cow Peas, (Lb. 25c), (10 lbs. $2.00), postpaid. Ask for quantity price.

Various tests have proven that they may be successfully grown, and since they are one of the Legumes or Nitro- gen Gathering plants, they should be planted extensively. Frequently it is not possible to arrange crops to include a Summer Legume like Cow Peas and the Winter crop will be found a most satisfactory one to turn to.

Do not overlook these two varieties if you have a silo. Our SACATON JUNE is especially selected for grain yield and it is an honest-to-goodness Corn for our Southwestern states. PAPAGO CORN FOR ENSILAGE In experimental plots planted at the various Experiment Station Farms last year Papago Com proved a wonder under short season and dry land conditions. The Prescott Dry Farm produced 24 tons of green fodder per acre and that under dry land conditions. Papago Corn is a native of Arizona. It originated at the University of Arizona, where it has been se- lected and re-selected for several years. This is the first year we have had an quantity to offer and we urge the planting of it for ensilage or for roasting ears. It requires eight pounds to plant an acre. (Lb. 35c), (10 lbs. $3.00), post- paid. Write for quantity prices. MEXICAN JUNE For Ensilage or Mature Corn Corn is the principal silage crop, and Mexi- can June is the principal variety used in the long-season section. It matures in about 120 days and will yield the largest amount of good silage to the acre of any variety. Corn should be cut for silage when the kernels are past the milk stage and begin to show a glaze and when the bottom leaves of the plant are turning brown. If it is frosted before it reaches this stage it should be cut and put in the silo at once. Mexican June will grow 12 to 15 feet high. It requires eight pounds to plant an acre.

It is somewhat earlier than Mexican June, maturing in about 110 days. In Southern valleys it should be planted from July 1st to the 25th at the rate of 10 pounds per acre. In the Salt River Valley it is a favorite for roasting ears, being very tender and sweet. (Lb. 25c), (10 lbs. $2.00), postpaid. Write for quantity price. REID’S YELLOW DENT This is a splendid Yellow Dent variety, with 18 to 24 rows of kernels on an ear. The cob is small and the grains are very close together.

SACATON JUNE CORN This is a selected strain of June Corn which has been developed in the Salt River Valley. The habit of growth is similar to Mexican June, but it is more desirable as a producer of ma- ture crop. Stalks sets from 1 to 5 ears of good corn with a blunt tip and tight husk, which renders it impossi- ble for worms to do any great dam- age. It requires about 120 days to mature and the ideal time for plant- ing in climates sim- ilar to the Salt River alley is from June 25 to July 15.

SACATON JUNE CORN (See page 17 for SWEET CORN) BUY THE BEST— WE DO 62 Arizona Seed & Floral Company SWEET SORGHUMS FOR SYRUP AND FOR FORAGE MAKE YOUR OWN SYRUP The sweet sorghums are distinguished from the grain sorghums by the fact that the juices are very sweet and sugary and the substance of the stem is very digestible. The juices are used for making syrups, and they are also planted for forage. With the shortage of sugar, we recom- mend planting for syrup, as small syrup mills are operating in various sections. HONEY DRIP SORGHUM This is a variety that is most popular as a syrup cane. It has long, slender, reddish heads and grows to a height of 8 to 12 feet, producing a heavy tonnage. It is not particular as to soil. For syrup purposes plant in rows far enough apart to allow cultivation. It requires about 10 pounds of seed to the acre planted in this man- ner, or 40 broadcast. Price, (Lb. 25c), (10 lbs. $2.00), postpaid. Ask for quantity price. TEXAS SEEDED RIBBON Another of the sweet sorghums and one very commonly used for syrup. The seed we have is the crookneck strain. (Lb. 25c), (10 lbs. $2.00), postpaid. Ask for quantity price. EARL AMBER The most popular variety for hay and pas- ture purposes. It furnishes a large yield of most nutritious forage, being very rich in sac- charine matter. If intended for hay it should be sown broadcast at the rate of 40 pounds per acre and cut when the seed is in the dough. When grown as a crop for seed, sow in drills 3 feet apart and cultivate. Planted in this man- ner, it requires 5 pounds of seed per acre. (Lb. 20c), (10 lbs. $1.75), postpaid. Write for quan- tity price. CLUB CANE This variety is very vigorous and produces a heavy growth of foliage. It stools readily and has proven an excellent variety for hog pas- ture. Club Cane has produced as much as 6 tons of hay per acre. Broadcast 40 pounds per acre. (Lb. 25c), (10 lbs. $1.75), postpaid. Write for quantity price. MISCELLANEOUS FIELD SEEDS WRITE FOR QUANTITY PRICES WHEAT — Several years ago we began a search for a select strain of Early Bart Wheat, and after securing samples from many .sections of the country we finally, on recommendation of the Department of Agriculture, purchased a quantity of fancy stock in the State of Wash- ington. From this stock we are growing our supply, selecting it each season. We also carry in stock Sonora and Club. Sow 60 to 90 pounds to the acre. Price on application. BARLEY — Our Seed Barley is grown under contract for us, and under our personal super- vision for seed purposes. For early planting sow 60 pounds to the acre and for later plant- ing, 80 to 100 pounds. Ask for prices. DWARF ESSEX RAPE— This crop is very highly recommended as a pasture for sheep and hogs, furnishing fine pasture in six to eight weeks after planting. Rape is best sown in drills at the rate of five pounds per acre. (Lb. 30c), (10 lbs. $2.50), postpaid. OATS — For hay or for grain. Oats is an ex- cellent crop. Oat hay commands a high price at all times. We offer two grades of seed. Local grown for hay purposes and imported grown for grain. Prices on application. SUNFLOWER — Single heads measure 15 to 20 inches in diameter, and contain an immense amount of seed, which is highly valued by poul- try breeders as a poultry feed. Every year great quantities of this seed are shipped into Arizona and it is with this in mind that we ap- peal to Arizona farmers to grow Sunflowers. They grow luxuriantly here and produce a fine grade of seed. Three pounds of seed will plant one acre. (Lb. 35c), (10 lbs. $2.50), postpaid. WINTER RYE — You farmers who have not planted Winter Rye for Winter pasture have overlooked a good bet. It has been demon- strated that earlier pasture and more pasture is obtained from Winter Rye than from Barley or Wheat. It is special value to dairymen, for it comes early, when green feed is needed. Sow 75 pounds per acre. Price on application. (See pages 40 to 44 for Poultry Supplies) GOLDEN MILLET — An excellent catch crop. May be planted as late as September 15 in the Salt River Valley and still produce a good crop of hay. Sow 30 pounds per acre. (Lb. 25c), (10 lbs. $2.00), postpaid. FLAX — When grown for seed, plant forty pounds to the acre. One of the principal things to attend to when growing flax is to see that the ground is well cultivated. Price per pound, 40 cents, postpaid. HEMP — The seed is used for birds. Its fibre is in big demand. Per pound, 30 cents, postpaid. CANARY SEED— Used for bird food. It is also used as an ornamental grass and for hay purposes. (Lb. 30c), (10 lbs. $2.50), postpaid. BROOM CORN Farmers find this a very profitable crop. One acre has produced 500 pounds of brush and nearly 40 bushels of seed. Will grow wherever sorghum will mature satisfactorily. Should be planted and cultivated about the same as sor- ghum. It should not be mixed with feed crops. Grows from 8 to 10 feet high. Plant in drills 3y2 feet apart and thin 3 to 6 inches apart in rows; 5 to 8 lbs. of seed will plant an acre. Standard or Tall Evergreen — This variety grows 8 to 10 feet tall, stands up well and is free from crooked straw. The fibre is long and of a rich dark green color, and always com- mands the highest price when placed on the market. (Lb. 25c), (10 lbs. $2.50), postpaid. Ask for quantity price. Dwarf — The stalk of this variety is decidedly dwarf, only grows 4 to 5 feet high, but makes long, smooth, bright straw, and is a heavy yielder, which makes it desirable as a market crop. (Lb. 25c), 10 lbs. $2.50), postpaid. Ask for quantity price. BUY THE BEST— WE DO Phoenix, Arizona 63 BEAUTIFY YOUR HOME FLOWER SEEDS ENHANCE THE VALUE OF YOUR PROPERTY.. There are no more satisfactory flowers than those grown from seed, especially the easily grown and brilliant colored annuals, but they require care and proper soil preparation, for flower seeds are delicate. Soil that will bake and crust should have a liberal raiixture of well-rotted manure and sand. In adobe soil a few pounds of air-slacked lime will assist in forming a better texture. In sowing seeds of hardy annuals, plant all medium sized seeds at a depth of % to % inch. Sweet Peas should go deeper. Very fine seeds should be pressed into the soil and a little sand or fine, well-rotted manure sprinkled over the surface. Water more frequently if the seed is close to the surface, and if necessary protect with cheesecloth until the seed germinates. When up, the plants should be thinned from 2 to 12 inches, de- pending on the variety; otherwise they will be weak and spindling. It is a great mistake to leave plants too thick: give them room to develop, allow plenty of moisture and the display that can be produced from seed will surprise and delight the grower.

They are of easy culture and no garden is complete without them. Select your space in the open, where the vines may be trained on a trellis, and dig a trench about two feet wide and eighteen inches deep. Put about three inches of well-rotted barnyard manure in the bottom of the trench mix a sprinkle of manure and commercial fer- tilizer with the dirt that has been removed and replace it. Open a trench across the bed about six inches deep and plant one ounce of seed to 15 feet of drill in the bottom of it, covering the seed about one-half inch. Now fill this last trench with water and soak thoroughly, fol- lowing with a sprinkle of fine manure to pre- vent the surface crusting. After the peas are up eight or ten inches begin to draw the dirt to them, gradually filling the planted trench and opening another trench about ten inches from the row through which to water them the rest of the season. Frequent cultivation is very necessary, and after the peas are 12 to 15 inches high a mulch of fine manure should be applied to the entire bed and gradually worked into the soil. Keep them well watered, and at blooming time they should be cut each day to insure a long bloom- ing period.

Express shipments will allow for more packing around the roots and we suggest having them expressed rather than mailed. Our roses are field grown, budded and own root stock, and are usually ready for shipment by January 15. We list here those varieties which have proven most successful under our soil and climatic conditions. In setting out roses a hole should be dug at least one foot in depth and 15 inches wide for each plant; the roots should be carefully spread out and covered with fine soil; manure should never be placed in actual contact with the roots, but near at hand, within reach of the new feed- ing roots when growth begins. The remaining soil should then be packed in firmly, the sur- face leveled and covered with about three inches of pulverized manure and straw. In selecting your varieties, please add to the order a few supplementary varieties lest by previous orders the stock of any particular one should be ex- hausted. SPECIAL NOTICE— IMPORTANT Due to the great scarcity of Roses this year, we offer them only, subject to being able to supply. Please state in your order if it will be satisfactory with you for us to substitute va- rieties if we cannot supply what you order.
