SATISFACTION IN “QUALITY” SEEDS

In presenting this, our 1922 Catalog, we have endeavored to give you more than a mere listing of varieties. You will find here in concise form practically all the information needed by amateur or professional to make gardening opera- tions successful. And we would impress upon you the importance of preserving this book as a ready reference. It has been our aim to list only those varieties of special merit for this section of the country, and we have tried to give you accurate descriptions, without exaggeration.

We have made our prices as low as possible for quality stocks, which are never grown to meet a price. Remember whether you sow for pleasure or profit, that the so-called “cheap seeds” usually prove dear at any price, and quality is remembered long after price is forgotten.

This is an age of specialists — in almost every line of business there are firms or individuals who make a specialty of. certain lines. We are specialists in the seed business, through training and experience, and insomuch as we handle special pure-bred seed for this particular section of the country.

We have carefully selected our seed stock for purity, growth and productiveness, and we assure you that our supply can be relied upon to give the results you have a right to expect. Our organization and equipment are such that orders, both large and small, can be executed rapidly and we assure you of prompt and careful attention.

We wish to thank our friends for the splendid business with which they favored us last season and trust the re- sults of their planting were as gratifying as we both could wish, and will justify a liberal share of your esteemed future patronage, which will have our most careful attention at all times.

Information for Gardeners

LOCATION. — In selecting the situation for a garden use the best drained and most favorable spot available, as success is, to a considerable extent, dependent upon this. If possible the morning sun, which is most desirable, should reach all parts of the garden, and near proximity to large trees should be avoided. More shade than is desireable is usually furnished by trees, and they rob the soil of moisture and nourishment, very much to the detriment of smaller plants growing nearby.

THE SOIL. — A fair degiee of success can be obtained from any soil which can be made rich and friable, but best results will be found from a lich, sandy loam, free from the tendency to bake into a hard crust after heavy rains. The soil should be thoroughly plowed or dug to a good depth, and harrowed or raked to obtain as smooth surface as possible. The success of gardening depends to a large extent upon the proper preparation of the soil by the liberal use of stable manure or working in vegetable matter of any kind.

FERTILIZERS. — The best fertilizer is stable manure, and it should be used freely. It should always be thoroughly rotted, as vegetables of delicate flavor cannot be raised fiom fresh manure. The largest and most famous gardeners of the East use liquid manure almost ex- clusively as a fertilizer, even in the case of their largest field crops. Pulverized sheep manure or bone meal are the next best substitutes for gardening.

SOWING THE SEED. — Hasty, careless and improper sowing of the seed is the largest source of disappointment and failure among amateur gardeners. The seed contains an embryonic plant enclosed within a more or less im- pervious shell with enough plant food stored in and around the geim to sustain the plant until it can put out its leaves, form roots and shift for itself. Germination requires moisture, heat and a certain amount of air. To start growth the seed first absorbs water and swells. The plant food within the seed becomes soluble. The seed coats are ruptured, the rootlets begin growth down- ward and the stemlet starts upward. This growth is maintained for a time on the stored food, until gradually the plantlet becomes established and gathers food from the soil and air. When the little plant begins to provide for itself germination is complete.

Not only an inferior crop, but often a later crop, is produced by sowing seeds too early, rather than at the proper time. The suggestions as to time of sowing given in this catalogue are a safe guide, but of course, judge- ment should be used, seasons varying greatly in different years. As a rule, seeds do one of two things shortly after planting — they germinate and grow, or they die. Geii- erally speaking, seeds should be covered according to their size, the texture and condition of the soil, and with due regard to the advance of the season. Rolling, or some firming process of the soil over the seeds, greatly facilitates the germination of practically all kinds of seeds, especi- ally in dry weather.

Sow in long, straight rows or drills as much as possible, as the plants may then be easily recognized as they come up, and may be thinned and cultivated most conveniently.

TRANSPLANTING. — If possible, do all transplanting late in the afternoon, using care in lifting the plants to avoid injury to their tiny roots. Most plants can be taken up from the seed bed without injury to the root, if handled carefully, and success largely depends on this first step. Make the hole with a dibble, insert the root, pour a little water about it, and press the earth carefully but firmly around the stalk. If the weather be hot, shade for a day or two for best results.

CULTIVATION. — Every weed should be removed as as soon as it appears, and the crust which forms after a rain should be broken up and the ground stirred as soon as dry enough to permit. While the plants are young, the more frequently and deeply the soil is stirred the better, but as growth continues and the roots occupy the ground cultivation should be shallower until it becomes a mere

stirring of the surface. Remember that a small garden, well cultivated and cared for will give larger returns than a large garden poorly prepared and neglected.

SPRAYING. — Plant diseases have become so prevalent as to make spraying almost necessary to the perfecting of many crops. We list in the back of this catalogue a com- plete line of spray materials for plant diseases and in- jurious in.sects, and sprayers and dusters.

THE COLD FRAME. — The purpose of the cold frame is to foster plant growth by warding off cold winds, keep- ing the ground warm during winter and early spring, and increasing the feeble warmth of the slanting sunbeams.

The construction of a cold frame is very simple. The back board is usually twelve inches wide and the front board eight inches wide. These are joined together by a tapered board six feet long, 12 inches wide at one end and 8 inches at the other. The frame may be made as long as required, but should have a cross-tie every three feet to support the sash, which is 3 x 6 feet. When complete set the frame in a sheltered, well drained place with Southern exposure.

Fill the frame with good soil to within six inches deep in front and eight inches at the back. Make shallow furrows three or four inches apart across the surface of the soil in the frame, and sow the seed in these. Cover them thinly and firm the soil over them with the hands or a piece of board. Water moderately with a fine spray, and place the sash on snugly to remain until the seedlings appear. After the plants are up the sash should be tilted back during the warm part of the day to admit fresh air, that they may be made sturdy. As the seedlings grow, remove the sash both day and night during favorable weather, but replace as a protection against wet, muggy or cold weather. As an additional protection, in very cold or stormy weather the closed sash may be covered with mats that come for that purpose, or with straw.

As soon as the plants are large and strong enough and danger of frost is over, transplant to the open ground.

THE HOTBED — Such seeds as endure little cold may be sown in hotbeds very early in the season, so that by the time it would be safe to plant them in the open the plants are well established, and in the case of many vegetables, nearly ready to begin fruiting. A serviceable hotbed may be made in the same manner as described above for the cold frame, but making all joints and cracks tight and having the back two feet high, sloping down to eighteen inches at the front. Regulation sash, 3x6 feet, can be had from dealers cheaper than it can be made at home. Dig the pit a foot wider than the frame, and two feet deep, boarding up the sides to prevent caving in of the earth. The bed proper is made of fresh horse stable manure, containing a liberal quantity of bedding straw. It should be forked over, shaken apart, and if dry, watered and allowed to stand a few days, when it should be forked again, heaped into the pit until it is above the level of the ground, and packed firm and level. Set the frame upon this, water well, and put sash in place. As soon as the heat rises, as indicated by the gathering of moisture on the glass, remove the sash and fill in on top of the manure with eight to ten inches of fine, dry, loamy garden soil, spreading it smoothly and evenly. Then replace the glass, and when the 'bed is warmed again sow the seeds broadcast or in drills. It is very important to use dry soil and to allow the first rank heat to pass off before sowing the seeds. Seedsmen are sometimes blamed for non-germination of seeds when the fault was the failure to observe this pre- caution.

Water as often as necessary with tepid water, and when the plants appear admit air freely, except in freezing weather, to prevent “damping off.” In frostly weather air may be given in the middle of the day by raising the sash at the back an inch or two. When the temperature is very low cover at night with mats or straw. As the plants become strong, accustom them gradually to the air by taking the sash off entirely during the day, and only partially closing them on mild nights.

Kindly place your order early, so as to assist us in getting it out

promptly.

''Quality'' Vegetable Seeds

W^hite’s "‘’Quality'” Vegetable Seeds

SELECTED WITH SPECIAL CARE FOR THE HOME GARDEN

No vegetable ever comes to the table at home like those gathered fresh from the home garden. The rich, sweet flavor and fragrant aroma coming with freshly gathered vegetables when cooked sharpens the appetite and gives zest and relish to eating.

We are listing in this catalog only the most important varieties suitable for this climate under each heading, but are prepared to supply any obtainable variety that our customers may want. It is highly advisable that you send us a list of your particular requirements as early in the season as practicable.

Bush Snap Beans

Culture.— These can be planted any time from April 1st (or after danger of late frost is past) to September 1st. They thrive best in good light, loamy soil, as they have a tendency to rust if planted in stiff or heavy soil. Plant in rows 2^ to 3 feet apart and 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows. Cover inches deep. Give only light cultiva- tion after plants are 6 inches high. About 2 pounds is re- quired.to plant 100 feet of row, and 100 pounds to the acre.

GREEN PODDED VARIETIES

Extra Early Red Valentine. — A standard variety’ extra early in maturing, and bears pods which are round’ long, slightly curved and of excellent quality. The ex- treme hardiness of this bean accounts for its popularity in this section as the first early bean. The Red Valen- tine germinates in cold ground when other sorts fail. Our improved strain of this excellent variety has been selected especially for earliness and good quality. Price — Post- paid: Pkt., 10 cts.; lb., 35 cts. ; 10 lbs., $2.50. Express: lb., _25lcts.; 10 lbs., $1.90; 100 lbs., $16.00.

Black Valentine. — The hardiest of all beans; will stand more frost than any other sort. On this account partic- ularly recommended for market growers. The pods are long, straight, very handsome; are produced very profusely and present a very attractive appearance on the market. An ideal bean for the earliest market. Price — Postpaid: Pkt., 10 cts.; lb., 35 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.50; Express: lb., 25 cts., 10 lbs., $1.90; 100 lbs., $16.00.

Black Valentine Beans

Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod Beans

Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod.— This is absolutely a stringless bean, and this quality alone puts it ahead of most table beans. The pods break as short and as free as pipe stems. It is also extra early and of splendid table qualities. One of the best sorts for market gardeners and home use. Price — Postpaid: Pkt., 10 cts.; lb., 35 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.50. Express: lb., 25 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.00; 100 lbs., $17.00.

Refugee, or 1,000 to 1. — One of the best for main crop and late or succession plantings; enormously productive. Snaps are round, tender and of excellent quality. Later than the early kinds,- but bears much longer and is more productive. Price — Postpaid: Pkt., 10 cts.; lb., 35 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.50. Express: lb., 25 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.00; 100 lbs., $18.00.

Buxton White Seed Co.,

Elizabeth City, N. C.

Carolina Sleva or Butter Beans

Kentucky Wonder Pole Eeans

Bountiful. — A “long yellow six weeks” improved by earlier growth, hardiness and more prolific yield. The pods are large, flat, very tender, handsome, and free from strings. This variety may also be grown as a shell bean for winter use. Price — Postpaid: Pkt., lOcts.; lb., 35 cts. ; 10 lbs., $2.50. Express: lb., 25 cts.; 10 lbs., $1.90; 100 lbs., $16.00.

WAX PODDED VARIETIES

Rustless Golden Wax. — A vigorous, wonderfully pro- ductive bean of excellent quality. Bears continuously for several weeks if picked as soon as ready. Pods thick, meaty, entirely stringless and tender. Plants throw out long, pod-bearing tendi'ils, which appear at first like run- ners, but it is a true bush bean. We recommend it very strongly for its productiveness and fine quality. Price- Postpaid: Pkt., 10 cts.; lb., 35 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.50; Ex- press: lb., 30 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.10; 100 lbs., $18.00.

Wardwell’s Kidney Wax. — This standard variety, ma- turing a little later than Golden Wax, yields a large crop of long, nearly straight, broad, light golden yellow, hand- some pods. These are of large size, about six inches long, and are of good quality. . They always command a ready sale, making the variety one of the most profitable for the market gardener as well as shipper. This is also very ex- tensively used for snaps for the home garden. The plants are strong growing and bear their long pods well up from the ground. Price — Postpaid: Pkt., 10 cts.; lb., 35 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.50. Express: lb., 30 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.10; 100 lbs., $18700.

Sure Crop Stringless Wax.- — A valuable new variety for either home use or market garden.

Swiss Chard or Spinach Beet

One ounce will sow 100 feet of row.

Swiss’^Chard, Giant Lucillus. — The Swiss Chard, or Spinach Beet, is prepared for the table in the same manner as Spinach; sometimes, however, the mid-rib is prepared like> Asparagus. Seed planted early in the spring will quickly produce plants from which cuttings may be made all summer, as you can cut right down to the ground, and new shoots will soon spring up and make a fast growth, while those plants which are allowed to grow on without any cutting will make large curly leaves, with thick, light- colored mid-ribs, which are delicious when cooked and served like asparagus. You should not fail to plant at least one long row in your garden. Price — Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; M lb., 25 cts.; lb., 85 cts.

Cabbage

Culture. — To make an early crop of cabbage the seed can be sowed in hotbeds or in boxes in the house in Jan- uary, February and March, or for later crop can be sowed outside from April to June, but to make the earliest spring cabbage the seed should be sowed outside about September 15 th and then transplanted where they are to remain in November. Cabbage should always be transplanted to good, rich, clean, light soil in rows 3 to 4 feet apart, with plants 16 to 18 inches apart in the row, according to the variety of cabbage, whether of large, medium or small- size growth. One ounce of seed will produce about 1,500 plants.

Transplant to rich mel- low soil 8 to 12 inches apart in 18-inch rows, and keep well worked. Lettuce must have rapid growth to succeed. For a succession set every 3 weeks. Seed may be sowed in rows outside in the spring and plants thinned out. For fall use sow in July and August. One ounce will produce about 1,500 plants.

Wayahead Lettuce. — The earliest butterhead lettuce, not only being “wayahead” in earliness, but the tightly folded heads are generally larger in size. The outer leaves a light green, with the inner head finely bleached to a rich buttery yellow, “Wayahead” stands a longer time before running to seed than any other early-head variety. Price — Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 34 lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.50.

Salamander. — An excellent sort for spring, summer or fall. The leaves are broad, thick and slightly crumpled; very tender and crisp. Price — Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 34 lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.35.

Iceberg. — Very crisp variety, loose cabbage heading, late and very slow to shoot to seed. The head is extreme- ly hard and well blanched, the leaves very completely and tightly overlapping each other. The color is light green, excepting for the faint brown tinge along the ex- treme border. It is never spotted and the inner head leaves never colored.

Rocky Ford Netted Gem Cantaloupe

Cantaloupe or Muskmelon

Culture. — Prepare hills 4 to 6 feet apart, in a rich, mod- erately dry sandy soil, using well-rotted manure. When frost is over, plant 10 to 12 seeds in each hill about 1 inch deep, and when well up, thin out, leaving 4 strong plants to the hill. To have more and better fruit, pinch off the vines, especially if the growth is rank. Give frequent but shallow cultivation till the vines cover the ground. Dust with sifted ashes, air-slacked lime or road-dust to keep off insects; spray with Bordeaux Mixture to prevent disease and improve the yield. Do not grow near cucumbers, squashes, etc. One ounce plants 50 hills; 2 pounds to the acre.

Honey Dew. — “As sweet as honey and fresh as the morning dew.” It is certainly delicious, and everyone should grow it. The smooth thin skin is creamy white when ripe and so tough that the melon is practically sealed up and will keep for a month or more. Allow it 3 months to mature, pull when the blossom end is slightly soft, and keep a few days before serving. The flesh is good right up to the rind. Price — Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; M lb., 45 cts.; lb., $1.60.

Onions

Culture. — Onions are grown from seeds and also from bulbs, called Sets. To grow onions from seed, plant in the open in the early spiing rather thickly, '34 Inch deep in rows 18 inches apart, and later thin the plants tafrom 3 to 5 inches apart, and keep well cultivated. When grown this way 1 ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of row; 6 pounds to the acre. If Sets for planting the following spring are desired, sow the seed in March or April in wide rows, 20 to 40 pounds to the acre. When the tops die in the summer remove and store only the small Sets, spreading them thin- ly in a dry place, using the larger size for eating or pickling purposes. Onions require rich soil, and a liberal supply ■ of manure from the poultry-house is very beneficial. But probablv the most satisfactory way for the small home-gardener to .grow early green onions is from the Sets. These may be put out in the spring, in March or April, or in the fall, in September and October, 3 inches apart in rows 1 foot or more apart. One pound will set about 75 feet of row. Fertilize well and keep well cultivated.

Large Red Wethersfield. — The most generally grown and best known variety. The bulbs are large, somewhat flattened; skin purplish red; flesh purplish white; very hard and solid; an excellent keeper and a heavy cropper. A good onion for poor and dry soils. Price — Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; 34 lb., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00.

Double Curled Parsley

Parsley

Culture. — Sow in February, March or early in April, half an inch deep, in rows a foot apart, pressing the soil after sowing. Slow to germinate, sometimes two or three weeks in coming up. Germination may be hastened by soaking 24 to 36 hours before sowing, or by covering the rows with boards to retain the moisture. A few radish seeds should be sown in the row with parsley to mark the row and allow early cultivation. The radishes can be pulled early and will not interfere with the parsley.

Double Curled. — The best and most improved strain. It is beautifully curled and crimped, and is best for gar- nishing and flavoring.

Plant in May or June in hills 8 to 10 feet apart, mixing well-rotted manure in each hill. Put 8 to 10 seeds in each hill, 1 inch deep, and culti- vate till the vines get stiong, when they should be thinned out, leaving two or three of the strongest in each hill. When planted in corn plant at the same time as the corn, in every fourth row, 10 to 12 feet apart in the rows, letting the hill of pumpkins take the place of a hill of corn.

Red Bliss, or Bliss Triumph

Improved Peach Blow Potatoes

Improved Peach Blow. — An old favorite for late plant- ing; color of skin slightly tinged with pink; of attractive appearance, and one of the best keepers. Our stock of these potatoes is superior to the old Peach Blow, being rounder in shape and of better quality. The Peach Blow Potato is one of the most dependable late-cropping va- rieties in our list, standing adverse conditions of drought and heat better than other kinds. Very popular through- out the South. Price on application.

All prices subject to change.

Irish Cobbler Potatoes

Culture. — Good, well-drained, fibrous loam will pro- duce potatoes under right climatic conditions. For early potatoes, which mature 8 to 10 weeks from planting, the soil must be rich. Potatoes are planted at various times — both early and late. Cut the tubers so there will be 2 to 3 eyes to each piece. Plant in hills or rows about 3 feet apart and from 15 to 18 inches apart in the row. Spray the leaves of the young plants with a Bordeaux-Arsenate- of-Lead mixture as a protection against blight and attacks of beetles. One peck will plant about 100 feet of row, or 100 hills; 10 bushels are required to plant an acre.

Maine Grown Irish Cobbler (Selected and grown spec- ially for seed purposes, superior both in quality and pro- ductiveness).— The Irish Cobbler still maintains its pop- ularity everywhere as one of the best, earliest and largest- yielding varieties, and we recommend it strongly as a most desirable and productive extra-early variety of excellent table qualities. It produces smooth, round, plump and handsome tubers, ready for market 10 to 12 days earlier than Early Rose. The tubers are a beautiful creamy white, eyes strong, well developed and slightly indented. Fresh white, skin even and slightly netted, which in potatoes, always proves a distinctive mark of fine quality. Our stock of these potatoes, both of the Maine and second- crop seed, are specially grown and selected for seed pur-

poses, and the excellent reports we have received from our customers, testify very strongly to their superiority over I. Price — Pk,, 90 cts.; bu., $3.00; 11 pk.

Early Rose Potato

Red Bliss, or Triumph. — To those who prefer a po- tato with a pink skin and white flesh or those who grow for markets where this color is in demand, we recommend Red Bliss, It is one of the very earliest, nearly round, peels without waste, a fine yielder and makes a very hand- some potato. Many of the potatoes sold as new Bermuda potatoes, are second crop Red Bliss, Price — Pk., 90^cts.; bu., $3.00; 11 pk. sack. $6.50.

Early Rose. — After more than a generation of unpar- allelled popularity. Early Rose is still in demand. Not as early as Irish Cobbler and Red Bliss, but a good yielder, and a good general purpose early potato. It supplies the demand for a longer potato than Cobbler and Bliss, and still holds all the good qualities that for many years made it the leading variety. Price on application.

Plant about 1 inch deep, 8 or 10 seeds to the hill, the summer varieties 3 to 4 feet apart, the winter sorts 8 to 10 feet. When well grown, thin out, leaving 3 of the strongest plants in each hill. Do not bruise or break the stems of the winter squashes when gathering. Apply Bug Death, land plaster, air-slaked lime or Paris Green to keep off bugs; for the large squash bug, use ker- osene emulsion. Plant summer sorts, 1 ounce to 25 hills, 3 or 4 pounds to an acre; winter sorts, 1 ounce to lOi hills, 3 or 4 pounds to the acre.

Culture. — For early summer use, sow early in spring in a good, well-fertilized soil, in drills 1 inch deep, 134 to 2 feet between the rows. For winter and spring use, sow from September to December 15th. Requires but little cultivation. Two ounces will sow 100 feet of drill, 12 to 15 pounds one acre.

Buxton White Seed Co., Elizabeth City, N. C.

Culture. — Six or 8 weeks before frost is over sow in hot- beds. in pots or shallow boxes in the house, and when they have made 4 leaves transplant in the beds to promote root growth. Expose as much as possible to harden them, so that when set out on the open ground they will be strong and stocky, but do not allow the growth to be checked. Transplant 3 to 4 feet apart in a light, warm soil, and culti- vate as long as possible. When transplanted, puddle the plants and shade them a few days until they are well rooted. The earliest fruits may be had by growing in pots, shifting to larger pots as they become filled with roots. Earliness may also be promoted by pinching off all the branches except the one most thrifty and tying this and the main stem to stakes. If all useless growth is removed by pinching out the side branches, the plants may be set closer and will produce more perfect fruits and a more abundant crop. One ounce , makes about 1,500 plants; 4 ounces will make plants enough for an acre.

Ponderosa. — Unquestionably one of the largest to- matoes grown. The Vines are vigorous, producing a very large stalk and an unusually thick stem, which is accounted for in the great size and weight of the fruit. It is one of the best flavored sorts grown, almost solid, and contains scarcely any seed. The fruit, when ripe, is cardinal red, and on account of its compact structure will keep longer than any other sort. Price — Pkt., 10 cts. ; oz., 40 cts.; 34 lb., $1.25; lb., $4.60.

June Pink Tomato

June Pink. — Extra early; good shipper. An extra ear- ly, purplish-pink tomato, similar to the popular scarlet fruited Earliana in growth of vine, shape and size of fruit and time of maturing.

Acme. — Ripens early, of medium size, glossy red with purplish tinge; round, smooth, free from cracks. An ex- cellent tomato for market gardeners’ use. Price — Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; 34 lb-. 85 cts.; lb., $3.00.

Stone. — One of the most valuable, all-round sorts on our entire list. The fruit is large, of dark brick red color, fleshy and is not subject to rot like some varieties; nor does it ever have a green core. We can especially rec- ommend it for a late crop, and very desirable for canning. Price — Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; 34 lb., 80 cts.; lb., $2.75

Matchless. — Bright red; skin is so tough that it is a splendid keeper and shipper; is less liable to crack in wet weather than any other large tomato. Fruit is free from core; seed spaces are small; leaves are of a rich dark green, very luxuriant, indicating great vigor, giving the plant ability to produce fruit of the largest size throughout the entire season. We can highly recommend it to all our friends, especially to those who are running market gar- dens. Price — Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; 34 lb., 85 cts.; lb., $3.10.

Ponderosa Tomato

Brimmer Tomato

The Brimmer. — This Tomato is similar to the well-known Ponderosa, but is even larger than that variety. It has strong healthy vines and is very productive. It is not an early variety, but its flesh is solid and meaty, and has very few seed. A splendid Tomato for family use, but most to large for a profitable market sort. Price — Pkt., 15 cts.; oz., 60 cts.; 34 lb-, $2.00; lb., $7.00.

"'Quality” Vegetable Seeds

Turnips

Culture. — One ounce is sufficient for 100 feet of drill; l}/2 to 2 pounds to an acre. The successful cultivation of turnips requires land which has been thoroughly en- riched and put in the best condition. For spring use, sow the earlier varieties about the last of February, three- quarters of an inch deep in drills 18 inches apart, and thin the plants to 6 inches apart. For fall and winter supply, sow from the middle of July to first of November, the strap- leaf varieties will usually make turnips if sown as late as the middle of October. For the rutabagas and large tur- nips the drills ought to be 2 feet apart, and the plants thinned to 10 inches. If desired, they may also be sowed broadcast.

Extra Early White Milan. — The Milans leave nothing to be desired in the way of an extra early garden turnip. They are the earliest varieties grown, at least a week ear- lier than any other; have small tops, so that the rows can be planted close together.

Below we give a list of the more popular varieties of Flower Seeds. You may not find the kind of flower you want listed, but if it is a variety that does well in this sec- tion, ask for it, and if we don’t carry it we will be glad to order it for you.

Our flower seeds are of the best that can be obtained and that money can buy. All flower seed are delivered free to any postofifice in the United States or Canada.

General Cultural Directions for Flower Seeds. — Most flower seeds germinate well in a rather light sandy loam, exposed to the sun, while a few are benefitted by partial shade, and some do best with an element of clay finely mixed with the soil. Nearly all hardy seeds vege- tate better when planted in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked fairly and easily and has become warm.

A general rule for the seed-bed is to have the soil rich, level and worked fineh^ Sow the seed evenly in the rows, cover with the finest of soil, about three times the diameter of the seed, and press the soil firmly over the seed. The soil should never become dry after the seeds have swelled, for if it does, they will be pretty sure to fail.

After the seeds are up, care must be taken to give them plenty of air and moisture, and yet not too much water, or they will “damp-off” (rot at the top of the ground). As soon as the second leaves are well out, the seedlings should be put into pots or new boxes. When finally trans- planted to the bed or border, water frequently until estab- lished.

SWEET PEAS

Culture for Sweet Peas. — October to April have been found the best months to plant Sweet Peas in this section. One ounce sows 25 feet of row; 1 pound will plant about 400 feet in drills. Would suggest that you have your rows or drills if possible running north and south. Plant in double rows 8 inches apart, 23^ feet between the double rows, poles then could be placed between the double rows and wires run or poultry netting placed; this would give support for two rows on trellis. If poultry netting is used, use 4 to 5 foot 2 inch mesh.

Dig rows 10 inches deep, put in 4 inches of well rotted manure or prepared pulverized sheep manure and top soil well mixed. Plant seed on this and cover with loose black loam 2 inches deep, leaving the rows open and fill in as the peas crack through until you get to the surface of the soil.

During dry weather they should be watered thoroughly and frequently, and given an application of liquid manure once a week. When in bloom flowers should be cut every day^and put in water. This will prevent the plants from going to seed, which would stop them from continuing in bloom.

Bulbs for Spring Planting

There is nothing in flori- culture which, to the amateur, will be attended with as great satisfaction or give as grand results, as the cultivation of this class of flowering plants. Set out in early spring, they bloom all summer. No matter if planted solely to beautify the home grounds or cultivat- ed by the small boy as his first step to profitable floricul- ture, the returns will be equally gratifying. They are of easiest culture, inexpensive, and require scarcely any care. Most of these bulbs should be taken up before severe frost and stored away in a frost-proof cellar, if possible in dry sand, to preserve for replanting the following spring.

CALADIUM, OR ELE- PHANT EAR.— A very effec- tive plant for beds or groups, especially in lawns. To

have the best results they must have an abundance of water and plenty of rich manure. When full grown they stand 6 to 8 feet high and bear immense light green leaves 3 to 4 feet long by 2 to feet wide. Price — Each, 15, 25 and 35 cts.

GANNAS. — Gorgeous and effective bedding plants. They grow well in any soil, but respond quickly to liberal treatment. In groups or as backgrounds for smaller plants they present a brilliant and continuous display till frost. Price — Each, 25 cts.; dozen, $2.50.

DAHLIA. — There are few flowers that compare with the dahlia in charming diversity of form and wide range of brilliant colors, and certainly no other surpasses it for autumn display in the garden as well as for cutting. Large clumps, 20 cts. each; dozen, $1.60.

GLADIOLI. — Attractive and easily grown summer bloomers, giving gorgeous effects in mixed beds, massed in large clumps, and when planted in clusters among shrubs. For a succession plant at intervals from April till June. Plant 6 inches apart and 4 inches deep. Price — Dozen, 40 cts.

Evergreen Mixed Lawn Grass

In the South we often have trouble in getting good lawns because it has been found that no one grass will give satis- factory results at all seasons and on all soils. By careful experiments we have succeeded in getting a combination of grasses that will produce an evergreen lawn, giving per- manency and beauty of sward. By the use of this Ever- green Mixed Lawn Grass Seed, a rich, velvety lawn can be made and maintained. One pound will sow a space 10 by 30 feet (or 300 square feet) ; 75 to 90 pounds to an acre.

Price of Seed. — Lb., 40 cts.; 10 lbs. and over, at 35 cts. per lb.; 25 to 50 lbs., at 33 cts. per lb. By mail, postpaid, lb., 40 cts.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE MAKING AND CARE OF LAWNS

It must not be supposed that by sowing grass seeds at any season of the year' in soil of any character, and in any state of cultivation or neglect, a durable, attractive turf is to be formed. From the beginning the lawn is both troublesome and expensive, and even when obtained, it is, like liberty, preserved only by “eternal vigilance.” The coarser natural grasses and weeds will take possession un- less kept down, and wherever, from any cause, a bare spot is formed, it will rapidly enlarge unless repaired.

As in house-building, so in the making of a lawn — a good foundation must be secured, or the rest of the work will be entirely wasted, and too great care cannot be exercised, since the roots must be able to penetrate quite eighteen inches in order to keep the grasses growing through the scorching days of July, August and September. If the ground is not already very rich, give a liberal application of fer- tilizer, avoiding the use of stable manure, as it invariably contains seeds of weeds and noxious grasses. Harrow or rake the surface to the finest possible condition and roll until all elevations and depressions have been removed.

Rake the seeds in lightly, following with a roller of med- ium weight, a firmly rolled surface being absolutely nec- essary if the ground be dry; small areas may readily be packed firm by the back of a spade. Sowings made in the fall, from the first of September to the middle of November, are most successful, but if deferred until spring, sowings may be made in February, March, April and May.

When the grass is well set, about 4 inches high, it should be cut with a sickle or mown with the machine set to avoid cutting too closely, 2 inches at least being left above the root. After that a cutting every 10 days and an occasional

rolling will make the grass finer, strengthen the turf and keep all rank-growing weeds in check. In the heat of summer the mower should be arranged so as to leave ample protection to the roots. Watering must be done with discretion. Unless the drainage is perfect, it is much more injurious to give too much water than to neglect watering altogether, and an occasional saturation is much better than the daily sprinkling commonly thought benefi- cial. If bare spots appear, they may be patched by break- ing the ground about 10 inches deep, smoothing the sur- face and raking in double the usual allowance of seed. To maintain the vigor and color of the grass a light top dress- ing of sheep manure or bone meal 2 or 3 times a year is advisable.

Crimson Clover. — You will make no mistake if you sow Crimson Clover on every piece of land that will be unoccupied by another crop next winter. Whether you grow it for grazing, for hay or fo.r improving your land, it will pay handsomely. A crop of Crimson Clover plowed under is considered worth $20.00 to $30.00 an acre, in in- creased productivity, and improved mechanical condition of the soil. Sow from the last working of corn and cotton till the end of October. Fifteen pounds sows an acre. Price — Postpaid: lb., 25 cts.; 10 lbs., $1.60; 1 bu. (60 lbs.), about $6.00. Prices fluctuate.

Lespedeza, or Japan Clover. — This is valuable to sow or poor, worn-out fields, hillsides, thin woods, groves, and wet bottom lands for summer pasture and for improving the land. It does not produce enough hay in this section to make it of much value for this purpose, but it is partic- ularly valuable for late summer grazing on land that can- not be used for other purposes. Sow 10 to 15 pounds per acre broadcast in March or April, and do not graze it early if you wish it to re-seed. While the plants winter-kill, it re-seeds itself and thickens every year, and will soon spread. Sow with Carpet Grass for best poor-land pas- turage. Price — Postpaid: lb., 40 cts.,; 10 lbs., $3.25; 1 bu. (25 lbs.), about $7.00. Prices fluctuate.

American Alfalfa or Lucerne (the Profitable and Nutri- tious Hay Crop). — In the South will produce from 5 to 7 tons of hay an acre each year. It enriches the soil. It’s very large, branching roots penetrate far down, loosening the soil, getting plant food where other crops would be a failure. Alfalfa is a perennial, and lasts for 8 to 10 years. Sow seeds in thoroughly prepared soil at the rate of 20 pounds to the acre. Before sowing the seed, thoroughly drain, lime and inoculate, if alfalfa has never been grown on the soil you are to sow. We can supply you with the lime and Bacteria for inoculating alfalfa and clover at $1.00 per acre. Price — Postpaid; Lb., 45 cts.; 10 lbs., $3.25;- 1 bu. (60 lbs.) about $15.00. Prices fluctuate.

Burr Clover. — Adapted for summer and fall seeding only. For the South, it is a most valuable winter-grazing crop, growing luxuriantly all through the winter and until summer. After once being seeded, it reseeds and improves in growth each succeeding year. It is admirably adapted for growing with Bermuda Grass, the combination makes a splendid all-the-year-round pasturage. Price — -Post- paid; Lb., 35 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.70; 1 bu., (25 lbs.) about $5.50. Prices fluctuate.

Cotton Sacks to hold Clovers and Red Top and all fine seeds, will be charged for extra at current value.

Alfalfa or Lucerne

Red Clover

Red Clover. — This valuable crop is not only one of the most excellent hay and forage crops, but it is a great soil improver. Red Clover can be cut for two or three years from one seeding, and on good land will yield two cuttings per year. Red Clover has been found particularly adapted to the northern part of the Cotton Belt; when sown alone in this section, 10 to 12 pounds to the acre. Excellent results are received by sowing for hay, a mixture of one bushel of Orchard Grass, one bushel Tall Meadow Oat Grass with eight pounds of Red Clover to the acre. If to be used also for pasture, an addition of six pounds Red Top or Herds Grass to the above mixture will increase the pas- turage. Price (purity 991^ per cent). — Postpaid: lb., 50 cts.; 10 lbs., $3.25; 1 bu. (60 lbs.), about $16.00. Prices fluctuate. Will quote prices upon request or fill orders at market prices day order is received.

Alsike Clover. — Alsike clover grows thicker, is finer stemmed than Red Clover, has plenty of leaf and makes better hay and more and better grazing than Red Clover. It is hardier and will stand greater extremes of heat, drought and severely cold weather than any other clover. It is adapted to a variety of soils, succeeding on light up- land and loamy as well as on bottom lands. Particularly valuable for grazing and in mixtures, whether grown for hay or grazing, for it makes a thick undergrowth greatly increases the yield as well as the feeding value of the hay. From 8 to 10 pounds should give a good stand. If you have not succeeded in getting a stand of other clovers be- cause your land is acid or moist, sow Alsike. Price — Postpaid: lb., 50 cts.; 10 lbs., $3.00; 1 bu. (60 lbs.), about $15.00. Prices fluctuate.

White Clover. — White Clover does well in nearly all parts of the South. In this section it is indigenous to all kinds of soils; is especially valuable and largely used in lawn and pasture mixtures. It makes a small, close, com- pact growth. If sown alone, sow 6 to 8 pounds an acre; more largely sown with other grasses, in this case use half the amount. Price — Postpaid: lb., 70 cts.; 10 lbs., $5.00; 1 bu. (60 lbs.), about $27.00. Prices fluctuate.

We recommend and carry only the highest grades of Clover Seeds.

''Quality'’ Field Seeds

25

Seeds of all legumes — beans, peas, clover, alfalfa, and related crops — will yield far better if inoculated with Farmo- germ, 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 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, 60 pounds of Vetch, etc. A differ- ent bacteria is required for each crop. When ordering, be sure to state what crops you wish to inoculate.

Farmogerm Stays Good Indefinitely.

Farmogerm keeps for years. Because of the method of sealing the bottle — patented stopper which admits filtered air and keeps out all impurities — 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 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 — J^-acre size only. You’ll get more peas and beans, and larger sweet peas by using this. Ask for No. 5, price 50 cts.

Farmogerm prices are: 1-acre size, $1; 3-acre size,$ 2.50; 12-acre size, $9. Full directions accompany each bottle.

Orchard Grass

Orchard Grass. — This is one of the most reliable grasses for hay or pasture grown in this section, making quick vigorous and continuous growth from early spring to winter. Sow 30 pounds to the acre in the spring or fall, and in any soil; loamy upland is best. It is excellent to mix with other grasses. Price — Postpaid: Lb., 35 cts., 10 lbs., $2.75; 1 bu. (14 lbs.), $3.25. Prices fluctuate.

Tall Meadow Grass. — A most valuable grass for the South, as it stands heat and drought well and flourishes on light, dry soils. Splendid for pastures and for hay; it may be cut twice in a season. Sow 30 pounds to the acre. Price— Postpaid: Lb., 45 cts.; 10 lbs., $3.75; 1 bu. (11 lbs.), about $4.00, Prices fluctuate.

Red Top or Herds Grass. — A grass particularly adap- ted to low land or damp situations. It will grow success- fully on any soil that will grow other grasses or grain. Will

make a valuable pasture crop. Is also used in mixtures of other grasses for hay. After once being established, it thickens and improves year by year, taking possession of the land and increasing in yield and quantity each suc- cessive year. Red Top is also one of the best grasses for land that washes and hillsides. Price — Postpaid: Lb.. 35 cts., 10 lbs., $2.55; 1 bu. (30 lbs.), about $7.25. Prices fluctuate.

Italian Rye Grass. — This grass resembles English Rye Grass considerably. It is very valuable, vigorous growing grass, suitable for furnishing in very short time a splendid green pasture. Also fine on lawns. It forms a good turf, and stands the dry weather remarkably well. This grass can be sown with success either in the fall of the year or very early spring. On rich land it will grow from 2 to 3 feet high. From 30 to 40 pounds of seed should be used in seeding an acre. Price — Postpaid: I/b., 25 cts.; 10 lbs., $1.75; 1 bu. (18 lbs.), about $2.15. Prices fluctuate.

Perennial or English Rye Grass. — Good for hay and pastures, if sown on strong, moist soil, but does not stand drought well. It grows rapidly and matures very early and lasts several years. Sow 30 lbs. to acre. Price — Postpaid: Lb., 25 cts.; 10 lbs., $1.45; 1 bu. (18 lbs.), about $2.25. Prices fluctuate.

Kentucky Blue Grass. — This grass succeeds best on limestone soil, but does well on any stiff soil. Stands cold, but does not do well in extreme heat. Grows slowly at first, making a thick, compact turf. First class for lawns or pasture. Succeeds better, however, when mixed with other grasses. Sow either in the fall or spring. 35 lbs. to 40 lbs., to the acre. Price — Postpaid: Lb., 50 cts., 10 lbs., $3.85; 1 bu. (14 lbs.), about $5.25. Prices fluctuate.

Timothy. — Very nutritious, and saleable for hay, but not so good for pasture, as it is injured by close cutting or grazing. Thrives best on heavy moist soils; should not be sown on light dry land. Good crops of hay are obtained if mixed with Red Top or Herd’s Grass and Sapling Clover, or some grass maturing at the same time. Sow 15 lbs. to the acre. Price — Postpaid: lb., 25 cts.; 10 lbs., $1.55; 1 bu. (45 lbs.) about $5.00. Prices fluc- tuate.

The diff erence between an acre of regular clover and an acre of Farmogermed clover will pay f o r the inocu-

lation of five or ten acres besides, and leave the ground far richer.

Carpet Grass. — Is the most valuable grass known for permanent pastures on sandy soils of the southern Coastal Plain. It is the South’s greatest year around, perennial, poor land pasture, being at least equal to Bermuda Grass in carrying capacity and feeding value and will thrive on soils where Bermuda can be made to succeed only by the use of fertilizers. Carpet Grass can be sown broadcast over present pastures, creek bottoms, or cut-over woodland without breaking up or cultivation; stands close grazing and trampling. A single plant in a single year will spread so as to form a circle 2 or 3 feet in diameter. Carpet Grass never becomes troublesome as a weed; it is very easily destroy’ed by plowing under. Sow at the rate of 10 pounds per acre, or to make an ideal poor land pasture sow 5 pounds of Carpet Grass and 25 pounds of Lespedeza to the acre. Price — Postpaid: Lb., 60 cts.; 10 lbs., $5.25; 1 bu. (18 lbs.), about $9.00. Price fluctuate.

Sudan Grass

Sudan Grass. — This grass has been introduced by the Department of Agriculture, and is recommended for the hot, dry regions of the South and Southwest, although it appears to do well in almost any soil or climate. It be- longs to the Sorghum family, is somewhat similar to John- son Grass, only more thrifty, growing from 4 to 7 feet high, with small stems and an abundance of broad leaves. Its root system is similar to that of millet, it being an annual grass, hence it has not the objectionable roots of Johnson Grass, It stools freely and produces the best hay of any of the Sorghum family. When sown for hay’^ it is broad- cast at the rate of about 8 pounds per acre, seeding being done in the soring. It will yield from 8 to 12 tons of hay er acre. Price — Postpaid: Lb., 25 cts.; 10 lbs., about 1.75. Write for price on quantity wanted.

PERMANENT PASTURE.

A permanent pasture is one of the very best paying investments that can be made on the farm. After careful experiment, the State Agricultural Experiment Station recommends the following as the best mixture for this sec- tion: 8 lbs. Orchard Grass, 8 lbs. Red Top, 8 lbs. Italian Rye Grass, 8 lbs. Alsike Clover, 4 lbs. Red Clover, 4 lbs. White Clover. Total seeding per acre, 40 lbs. Try it.

For poor land, where other pasture mix- tures fail, the following will give heavy, all- year-round succulent green pasture: 5 lbs. Carpet Grass, 25 lbs. Lespedeza or Japan Clover. Total seeding per acre, 30 lbs.

Sorghums

Early Amber. — The best producer of all sorghums. Grows to a height of 10 feet and stools. Will yield several cuttings per year. Makes one of the best green feeds, or it can be cured. All sorghums require rich land in order to make a good crop. Sow either broadcast or in drills.

If broadcast, at the rate of 1 bushel per acre. Sow in May or June. Price — Postpaid: 1 lb., 20 cts. Write for prices on bulk quantities.

Sugar Drip. — As a feed for horses and cattle this va- riety has no equal. Its quality is the best, and it contains a great deal of sugar, which adds to its feeding value. It is also one of the best varieties for making syrup, giving an immense quantity, as well as the very best quality. Grows large and affords a big crop. Sow broadcast at the rate of 1 bushel per acre, or in drills at the rate of 1 peck per acre. Price — Postpaid: 1 lb., 20 cts. Write for prices on bulk quantities.

Kaffir Corn

This has been largely grown in the West for a forage and main crop. The grain is much relished by cattle and poultry. It can be sown with cowpeas; the corn holds the vines off the ground, making a larger yield of peas, and both can be cut together, making a larger yield of feed. Sow alone, broadcast 40 to 50 pounds to the acre for forage, and cut before fully headed. White is the standard variety; Red is very popular, and in some sec- tions is considered hardier. Price — Postpaid: Lb., 20 cts.; 10 lbs., about $1.00. Write for price on quantity wanted.

Teosinte

This is a valuable fodder plant, resembling corn, but with larger leaves and sweeter stalks. Much rel- ished by stocks, either green or as dry fodder. It may be cut 5 or 6 times a year. Stalks 10 to 12 feet high. Drill in May or June, 3 pounds to the acre. Price — Post- paid: Lb., 75 cts.; 10 lbs., about $6.75. Write for price on quantity wanted.

Millet

A SPLENDID QUICK GROWING SUMMER HAY CROP

Golden (formerly called German Millet.) — Makes a large yielding and most nutritious hay crop, quick growing and easily cured. It should be seeded thickly, one bushel per acre, and should be harvested while in bloom. If the seeds are allowed to form the stalks get hard and it does not make so good a hay. Should be sown at any time be- tween the middle of May until the end of June at the rate of 1 bushel per acre. Millet should never be sown until the earth is warm in the spring and when continued warm weather is assured. It is also used as a catch crop after early grain or a crop which fails. It matures a crop in 6 to 8 weeks after seeding. Cow peas sown with German Millet makes fine hay. Sown in this way, it should be sown with some quick maturing variety of Cow Peas and should be sown at the rate of 3 pecks of Millet and one bushel of Cow Peas to the acre. Price — Postpaid: Lb., 20 cts.; 10 lbs., $1.00; 1 bu. (50 lbs.), about $3.00. Prices fluctuate.

Pearl or Cat-Tail Millet. — Sometimes called Pen- cilaria, or Billion-Dollar Grass; this variety gives an enormous yeild of very valuable forage. The plants grow about 12 feet high, but it may be cut at 3 feet, when it will thicken up, and may then be cut continuously until frost, giving abundant supply of rich green food. It is also valuable when used as a dry hay, but it is usually sown in drills at the rate of about 5 lbs. to the acre, or if broadcast, about 25 lbs. Price — Postpaid: Lb., 35 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.60; Prices fluctuate.

Dwarf Essex Rape

MAKES SPLENDID, NUTRITIOUS PASTURAGE

FOR CATTLE, SHEEP, HOGS AND POULTRY

This crop is very highly recommended for pasturage for cattle, sheep and hogs, furnishing most rich and nutritious pasturage within 6 to 8 weeks from the time of sowing. The fattening properties of rape are said to be very much better than those of clover. It also makes splendid green feed for poultry. In this section rape can be successfully sown both in the spring and fall. For spring sowing, sow as early as you can conveniently get it in, the earlier the better, although it can be successfully seeded any time during March or April. Rape is best sown in drills, at the rate of 3 to 5 pounds per acre, or it can be sown broad- cast, when 6 to 8 pounds per acre should be used. Price — Postpaid: Lb., 25 cts.; 10 lbs., $1.65; 100 lbs., about $12.

Prices fluctuate.

''Quality'' Field Seeds

27

Mammoth Russian Sunflower

Sunflower seeds fed to poultry make a real egg-producer; being rich in oil and protein, they make an ideal food dur- ing the moulting season; the leaves make excellent fodder; the whole plant makes fine ensilage and hog feed. Under favorable conditions 40 to 60 bushels can be grown on an acre; more than 100 bushels have been grown on extra good land in an unusual season. When the seeds are ripe and hard, cut off the heads and pile loosely under cover, and when cured they will thresh easily. It is claimed that sunflowers grown near the house will prevent malaria. Plant and cultivate like corn. Price — Postpaid: Lb., 25 cts.; 10 lbs., $1.40; 100 lbs., about $10.00. Prices fluctu- ate.

V etches

Sand, or Hairy Vetch. — A nutritious and valuable forage and soil-improving crop. Makes a large and quick growth. Sow from July to November, preferably with grain, which will hold vetch off the ground. Sow 25 pounds to the acre, together with one bushel of wheat. Oats, Rye or Barley. Price — Postpaid: Lb., 30 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.50; 100 lbs., about $15.00, Prices fluctuate.

Oats

Burt, or Ninety-Day Oats. — The best spring oats, as it is the earliest, nearly rust-proof, hardy and vigorous, and yields more grain than any other spring oat. Sow 2 bushels to the acre. Present price — $1.00 bu., 10 bus. at 90 cts. bu.

Virginia Gray Winter, or Turf Oats. — This has long been the most popular variety in this State, and has now extended into all parts of the South and West. Though a winter oat, they also succeed well if sown in the spring, making surest crop if sown by March 15th. Sow 134 to 2 bushels to the acre. Present price — $1.20 per bu.; 10 bu. at $1.10 per bu.

Red Rust-Proof Oats. — A very desirable early va- riety for heavy soils and low, moist grounds, where rust attacks other varieties. Yields abundantly of large, heavy grain, but does not grow as tall as the winter oat. Sow 2 bushels to the acre. Present price — Bu. $1.00; 10 bus. at 90 cts. bu.

Appier Oats. — An early, large red oat, similar to the Rust-Proof, but hardier and yields more grain. Present price — Bu., $1.10; 10 bus. at $1.00 per bu.

Fulghum Oats. — This oat is of a rust-proof type, some- what earlier than the Appier, and is a heavier yielder. Is largely used in the South. Present price — Bu,, $1.20; 10 bus. at $1.10 bu.

Canada Field Peas

This variety is not considered a cow pea, but is of the English pea family. Has small seed and pods, grows 4 to 5 feet high, and makes excellent early hay; also makes splendid hog feed and early fallow. We recommend sow- ing Appier or Fulghum Oats with these in February or March at the rate of one bushel peas and one bushel oats to the acre. They also do well when sown in November with either wheat, rye, oats or barley. Our stock is the very best American grown seed. Price fluctuates. Pres- ent price — $3.00 per bu.

Velvet Beans

THE GREATEST SOIL ENRICHING CROP

100-Day Velvet Beans. — ^Although it will not mature in 100 days, it is one of the earliest varieties, and can be grown further North than the common kinds. From Vir- ginia southward they will mature in a season of average length; in more northerly sections, where the seeds will not mature, it will make a wonderful growth of vines for pasturing and finishing cattle, and a fine soil-improver. Velvet Beans make an enormous growth, greater than any other known forage plant; in the same length of time far surpassing the cow pea. Velvet Beans are usually planted in rows 4 to 5 feet apart, at the rate of half a bushel

per acre. As a soil improver, they are considered superior to cow peas, as they make so much larger growth and so much heavier amount of foliage. The proportion of nitrogen contained in the vines is about the same as in cow peas, but as the yield is so much greater, the total amounts of nitrogen and humus added to the soil are cor- respondingly larger. A crop of three tons will add as much nitrogen to the soil as will a ton of cotton-seed meal, while the amount of humus will be three times as great. Price — Postpaid: Lb., 15 cts.; 10 lbs., 75 cts.; 1 bu. (60 lbs.), about $2.50. Prices fluctuate.

Peanuts

Plant in May, 12 inches apart, in 3 foot rows. About 1 bushel when bought in the hull is required to plant an acre, and about 15 pounds shelled nuts. Cultivate flat, keep well worked. Peanuts should be shelled before planting.

Spanish. — Nuts small, and have a thin hull, full kernel, and yield enormously. The vines and roots make excel- lent food for stock. In the hull, per lb., 18 cts.; 10 lbs. at

14 cts. per lb., postpaid; 100 lbs. quoted on request.

Virginia Jumbo. — A large variety of the well-known Virginia Peanut. In the hull, per Ib., 20 cts.; 10 lbs. at

15 cts., postpaid; 100 lbs., quoted on request.

Valencia. — These are dull red in color, of medium size, heavy yielder, and have long pods, sometimes having 3 or 4 nuts in a pod. It is probably the hardiest peanut in cultivation. It is mild in flavor and becoming popular wherever grown. In the hull per lb., 20 cts.; 10 lbs., at 15 cts., postpaid; 100 lbs., quoted on request.

Virginia Bunch Peanuts. — Wherever they have been grown, Virginia Bunch Peanuts are growing rapidly in popularity. They have several points of decided advan- tage over the running kinds; they mature about a week earlier than the running varieties; the rows may be closer and the plants nearer together in the rows; they are easier to cultivate and harvest, and they will average larger yields. In the hull, per lb., 20 cts.; 10 lbs., at 15 cts., postpaid; 100 lbs. quoted on request.

Peanut profits can be made bigger by inoculating seed with Farmogerm.

Field or Cow Peas

Prices of Cow Peas are Frequently Changing. Write us for Prices when Ready to Buy.

Cow Peas are too well known to give space to the value as a hay ensilage crop, their high feeding qualities and their great power of enriching the soil. We list the popu- lar varieties below.

Large Black Eye White Peas. — This variety is not only valuable as forage and soil-improving crop, but the dried peas are readily salable as table peas during the win- ter. The Large Black Eye Peas are more prolific, better flavored, and bring a higher price than the ordinary Black Eye, and farmers will find it more profitable to plant these than the ordinary Black Eye.

Black. — This is the standard variety, and the most largely grown in this immediate section. It is very pro- lific, early to mature, makes a fine growth, both of vines and leaves, and a good yield of peas. It is a splnedid land im- prover, and most valuable as a forage crop, and makes an enormous yield of rich, nutritious feed.

Iron. — This variety is noted for its disease-resistant qualities. It succeeds where other varieties succumb. It is a medium-early, prolific bearer of peas, and is valu- able for hay and forage. The seed is smaller than the aver- age cowpea, so that not so many are needed to sow an acre.

Brabham. — This pea resembles the well-known brown

Whipporwill, but is smaller; upright growth, holds its foliage well, making it a valuable pea for hay. Is very hardy and prolific in both peas and forage. Is rapidly becoming one of the most popular peas in the South.

Whipporwill. — A favorite, early, upright-growing va- riety, more largely used and sold than any other kind. Has brown-speckled seed, which are easily gathered. Makes a good growth of vine, which can easily be cut and cured as dry forage.

New Era. — This extra early cowpea is unquestionably one of the most valuable varieties in cultivation. It is quicker in growth than any other cowpea; makes a very large growth of vine and a very prolific yield of peas. It stands upright, enabling the peas to be easily gathered. The peas are fully one-third smaller in size than those of any other cowpea, so that it does not require nearly as many to seed an acre.

Clay.— This is a running variety. Second early. Makes a heavy growth of vine and is therefore more generally used and recommended for turning under.

Mixed Cow Peas. — We offer a choice mixture of the principal varieties, which many farmers think produces a thicker and better crop than any single variety.

Soy or Soja Beans

A VALUABLE LEGUMINOUS PLANT AND SUMMER FORAGE CROP

The cultivation of this crop is increasing rapidly, as its value and importance for a forage crop and soil improver have become known. Soy beans are also valuable to the Southern farmer as they resist the drought and hot weather to a great extent. Soy Beans are practically the only crop that furnishes a balanced ration feed in one crop. Both the forage and bean crop are very nutritious; can be sown in drills 33^ feet apart at the rate of 3^ bushel to 3 pecks to an acre or broadcast one and a half bushels to the acre. Thick sowing prevents stalks from growing too coarse. Often successfully sown with cow peas, mixing one-half a bushel of Soy Beans to one bushel of cow peas to an acre. We list below the most popular varieties.

Write for prices.

Soy or Soja iieans

Mammoth Yellow. — The largest and most popular variety for forage purposes. A little later in maturity than other kinds, but makes larger yields both of forage and seed. Especially valuable for this section and farther South.

Brown. — Ranks among the best for forage and soil im- proving, making a large and quick growth, and very pro- lific in yield of beans. There is probably no variety so well suited for planting with cow peas, as they mature nearly together.

Tar-Heel Black. — Dark green foliage. Slightly ear- lier than Mammoth Yellow. Heavy growth of vine, up- right in habit. Fully equal to any variety of soja beans for hay or seed production. It is fast growing in popu- larity wherever planted.

Hollyhrook Early. — Makes a quicker growth and ma- tures its crop two or more weeks earlier than the Mam- moth Yellow Soja. It makes a large yield, both of forage and peas, and the added advantage of its earliness, makes it a most distinct and valuable acquisition. It is a sure cropper and a vigorous, quick-growing variety. Sown as a forage or hay crop, it is much easier to cure and han- dle, and makes even a more nutritious crop than cowpeas.

Virginia. — More viney-stemmed than any other soy bean and the best of all for hay. Although particularly adapted to the South, the Virginia has been grown with marked success in the North and Middle West for both hay and ensilage. It matures early, makes excellent forage

and a large yield of beans. The stalk is not coarse, is easily cut and easily cured.

Wilson Early Black. — A very prolific variety, and one of the best for the Northern States, where a quick, early variety is desired. Average height on good land is about three feet. The Delaware State Experiment Farm, after a most extensive investigation of different varieties, rec- ommends the Wilson Black as ahead of any as a conibi- nation hay and seed variety, It was found to mature in about 115 days, to stand up well, make pods a good dis- tance from the ground and retain its seed. Its fine stem enables it to cure quickly for hay, which is particularly a- point in its favor for planting in Delaware, New Jersey and more northerly latitudes, and no late variety will compare with it for hay-making in these sections.

CAHOON BROADCAST SEED SOWER.

You will never know the real val- ue of a seed sower until you have used one, or until you have a field you might have finished before a rain if you had one.

The Cahoon sows 4 to 6 acres an hour at an ordina- ry walking gait all kinds of seeds that will flow, and will do it quicker and and more evenly than is possible by hand. By following the simple directions sent with each seeder, any one can sow better than an old experienced sower can sow by hand. Price — Postpaid, $6.25.

CYCLONE BROADCAST SEED SOWER

The Cyclone is a splendid seed sower that will pay for itself in a few days in the time it wall save.

This seeder will sow any of the seeds that are usually sown broad- cast, such as clovers, grasses, mil- let, buckwheat, vetch, turnips and all grains, and will do it more even- ly and uniformly than you can pos- sibly seed them by hand. It sows 4 to 6 acres an hour, or about as fast as you can walk. The quan- tity per acre can be regulated for thick or thin seeding as you prefer. Price — Post- paid, $3.00.

All soil-making crops — Cow peas, velvet beans, clovers, vetch — must be inoculated with Farmogerm if you

expect bumper crops.

Improved Golden Dent Corn

Seed Corn

Latham’s Mammoth Double Eared. — After nineteen years of variety tests, in which over 100 different varie- ties were used, the North Carolina Agricultural Experi- ment Station recommends Latham’s Mammoth Double as the heaviest yielding and most profitable field corn for this section of the State. Latham’s is the result of j^ears of careful breeding and selecting for maximum grain yield and uniformity. It requires a little longer growing season than some of our corns and commonly makes a little larger and more vigorous stalk. On medium to rich soil, it pro- dirces ordinarily two good ears to the stalk. The cob is only medium-sized and well covered with 16 to 18 straight rows filled out at both ends, and a depth of grain that gives a large percentage of heavy shelled corn. The foliage is abundant, thick and succulent. Having been originated in this section, Latham’s is especially adapted to our cli- mate and soil conditions. Our stock is especially grown for us by the originator and carefully selected.

Special Field Selected from breeding patch — Post- paid; Qt., 40 cts.; pk., $1.70; bu., $5.00, not prepaid.

Barn Selected from breeding patch — Postpaid; Qt., 30 cts.; pk., $1.20; bu., $3.25 not prepaid.

Currituck Horse Tooth. — The name indicates the shape and depth of the grain. A very deep grain corn, with very large ears and small cob. Besides making one of the most excellent ensilage corns, it produces a splendid yield of grain. Horse Tooth has a fine reputation among dairymen and stock feeders, giving a good length of ear and an abundance of ensilage. Price — Postpaid: Qt., 25 cts.; pk., 85 cts.; bu., $2.00 not prepaid.

Improved Golden Dent. — A corn of much promi- nence, arid for a generation the most generally planted yellow variety. It makes a beautiful ear, and whether on the cob or shelled no yellow corn is more attractive. The grains are deep, medium-wide, and firmly set on a small cob. The shuck is close and completely protects tip against adverse weather. Makes one to two ears to the stalk. Price — Postpaid: Qt., 25 cts.; pk., 90 cts.; bu., $2.25 not prepaid.

If it becomes necessary to replant any field of white corn,

use Norfolk Market or Truckers’ Favorite. See de- scriptions under Garden Corns.

Seed Selection. — It has always been a wonder to us why many cotton farmers were willing to plant cotton seeds without regard to selection or pedigree. They take it as it comes from the gin, generally mixed, entirely unfit for planting, and regardlesss whether or not the parent plants were good producers. Cotton seeds for planting are entitled to the same care in selection as is corn — ■ we no longer take the best ears in the corn crib and plant them, but plant well-bred corn that has been selected in the field for size, type of stalk and ear, well covered ear with a good depth of grain. The same-care is exercised in breeding up our stocks of cotton seeds. Plant our selected cotton seeds and get the most profit from your planting.

Selected Cotton Seed

Cook’s Improved Big Boll. — The Cook is one of the few early maturing types of the large boll cottons recom- mended by the United States Department of Agriculture for s-^^ctions of the cotton belt infested or about to be in- fested by the boll weevil. This cotton grows a hardy, strong stalk, and fruits exceedingly well. It is not a clus- ter cotton, with heavy, thick foliage, but one that limbs out well, starting close to the ground. It should be plant- ed on average fertile land in about 5-foot rows, and plants spaced about 18 inches apart. It has a good upland short staple, to 1 inch, and should average about 40 per cent lint turnout at the gin. This variety has been very gen- erally grown in North and South Carolina for several years past, and is rapidly forging to the front as one of the lead- ing varieties of cotton in the sections where it has been, grown. The Experiment Station recommends it for the eastern section of this State, and every report tells about entirely satisfactory crops on all but late lands. Price — Postpaid: Lb., 25 cts.; pk., 85 cts.; bu. (30 lbs.), about $2.00. Write for price on quantity required.

Mitchell’s Re-Improved Early King. — In sections where the boll weevil is prevalent, where the season is short, or where the land is late maturing, an eaily cotton is absolutely necessary, even regardless of the size of boll or length of lint. Re-Improved King will make its crop as early as any small or medium boll cotton. This is an improvement on the well-known Early King, and has been selected especially for earliness and prolificacy. It grows a plant about 30 inches high, limbs out and fruits well, and should be planted in 3 to 4 foot rows, with plants spaced about 13 to 15 inches apart. The staple runs about % inch, and the gin turnout of lint approximate^^ 37 per cent. Its greatest value lies in its quick maturity and good quality, making its crop in a short time and opening quickly. This variety is thoroughly dependable and its reputation for earliness and yield make it a most popular and successful type for combating the weevil. Price — ■ Postpaid: Lb., 25 cts.; pk., 85. cts.; bu. (30 lbs.), about $2.00. Write for price on quantity required.

Cleveland Big Boll. — A standard early big boll va- riety of the medium-large boll type, which has been found to resist the cotton wilt. It grows a hardy plant with scant foliage and produces well on almost any character of soil which is early and suited to cotton culture. Plant in five foot rows and space the plants about 18 inches apart. The staple ranges from 1 to 13^ inches. The gin turnout runs 38 per cent lint. Our supply of this variety is lim- ited, as our stock is secured from a small area planting the Cleveland almost exclusively. Our stock is ginned by a ginner who handles no other variety, which gives us high grade seed with a minimum of mixture. Order early. Price — ^Postpaid: Lb., 25 cts.; pk., 85 cts.; bu. (30 lbs.), about $2.00. Write for price on quantity required.

We also furnish to our customers, by special re- quest, other varieties grown in this section, which we do not carry generally in stock.

If the varieties we have described do not include the type you desire we will be glad to have you make it known to us and we will take pleasure in advising whether it can be secured in our territory.

Insecticides, Fung^icides and Spray Materials

BUG POISONS CANNOT BE SENT BY MAIL.

Potato Spray. — Has the desirable quick-killing proper- ties of Paris Green, the adhesiveness of Arsenate of Lead and the fungus preventative qualities of Bordeaux Mix- ture. Gets the bugs and blight at the same time. Unlike Paris Green, it remains on the foliage even when subjected to heavy dews or rains and future spraying becomes nec- essary only to protect new growth as foliage appears. Use 1 Dound to 6 or 7 gallons of water. Price — I lb.. 55 cts.; 5 ibs., $2.25.

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 and mice, it is harm- less to human beings, domestic animals, poultry, and birds. It may be used anywhere with complete safety.

Rats Leave 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 outside.

How To Use Rax.

Add water to the bottle and shake contents until water is cloudy. Then moisten bait (bread, crackers or cheese) with the mixture and place it near the holes. Rax does not affect the taste of the bait.

Directions are furnished with each package. One bottle is enough for an ordinary house; allow one bottle to each 500 feet of floor space in large barns, mills, etc. Price 75 cts. per bottle, postpaid.

To get the best re- sults feed it dry, just as it comes from the bag. Do not wet or feed as a wet mash as results will not prove satisfactory. Never mix anything with Ful- O-Pep DRY MASH— not a particle of any other ingredient. To do so will throw Ful-O- Pep DRY MASH out of balance and your fowls will fail to respond from its use.

FUL-O-PEP Scratch Grains.

This feed has been formulated to be fed in conjunction with Ful-O-Pep DRY MASH for best results. It con- tains corn, wheat, buckwheat, barley, Kaffir corn, sun- flower seeds, etc., in just the right proportion to suit the hen’s taste and balance with her ration of Ful-O-Pep DRY MASH. This we believe is the finest quality scratch feed ever offered to poultrymen and we strongly urge that it be fed as the evening meal in place of all other

feeds. Feed about one quart to each dozen fowls about one hour before roosting time. Do not feed at any other time. Write for prices.

FUL-O-PEP Chick Feed.

This feed is composed of a variety of grains such as finely cracked corn, wheat, pinhead oats and fish.

Feed it following the first three days of Ful-O-Pep GROWING MASH by scattering in a few inches of litter, gradually increas- ing depth of litter and quantity of Ful-O-Pep CHICK FEED as chicks become older and stronger.

In preparing this feed the utmost care is taken to assure poultry- men that in Ful-O-Pep CHICK FEED they will have a feed that is JUST RIGHT. Write for prices.

FUL-O-PEP Growing

When the chicks are one day old place Ful - O - Pep GROWING MASH where they can help them- selves at will. Keep it before them day in and day out. There is no danger of them eating too much. This feed provides the necessary bone and muscle building material and makes young chicks grow as they never grew before. Feed it until pullets are matured and ready to go on the mash. After the tenth day cut down the fine chick feed ration to two feedings a day — morning and evening. At four weeks of age, cut down grain ration to one feeding a day.

Caution; For best results, it is important not to allow the Mash Feeders to become empty at any time. Remember Ful-O-Pep GROWING MASH, not GRAIN FEED makes the large boned chicks.

/T'HIS superior chick feed was the first commercial poultry feed containing buttermilk — that is why we call it fhe only ORIGINAL, buttermilk starting feed.

Conkey’s did not “just happen”— it is a scientifically-balanced feed as clean and wholesome and as conscientiously-prepared as “infant food.” Selected, plump grains, ground to proper fineness, are combined with other ingredients so as to make the feed readily digestible, palatable and nutritious. TASTE it, SMELL it, that’s the way to judge a chick feed. Conkey’s carries buttermilk in just that protects the chicks from disease

the right proportion as an aid in prevention of bowel troubles. White Diarrhea, “leg weakness,” etc. The buttermilk is freoh, concentrated buttermilk, blended with the other ingredients by the ORIGINAL pro- cess in such a way as to preserve the appetizing, tonic, and other properties of the newly-churned product.

Lactic acid in buttermilk is de- scribed as an “intestinal broom” which sweeps away unfriendly bac- teria and disease germs in the deli- cate digestive tract. Buttermilk is also rich in one of the vitamines necessary to growing birds. It is a wonderful appetizer, aid to digestion and flesh builder.

However, it is not the buttermilk nor the other ingredients alone that causes people to declare that their chicks grow twice as fast on Con- key* s. It is not the buttermilk alone

during the first critical eight weeks. The secret is in the combination of these materials by the Conkey method — the balancing of the ration, as Conkey alone knows how.

Don’t be influenced by “cheaper” imitations labeled “buttermilk” — that word may be used to deceive unwary buyers — to cover up a multitude of “sinful” grains, mill sweepings, poi- sonous weed seeds, musty screen- ings, worthless by-products, or other poor material having little or no nutritive value.

Conkey’s is so palatable that one poultry man said it ought to be used for “breakfast food.” One woman wrote: “My chicks just love Conkey’s. It is so tasty, and my how they do grow! Better still, we didn’t have a single loss in the present hatch, no White Diarrhea or other bowel trou- bles like before we began using Conkey’s.”

TAe Stock Dip, Home Disinfectant and Poultry Mite Liquid with a ^^Thousand Uses^*

This preparation has few equals in all-round usefulness. Every poultry yard, ranch, home, factory, stable, store, office building — in fact, every place where sanitation is necessary to health — needs Conkey’s Nox-I-Cide every day in the year.

For poultrymen, Nox-I-Cide is indispen- proud flesh and other conditions requiring

sable as a red mite destroyer— paint it on the roosts and spray it into cracks. As a preventive of disease, it is unexcelled for cleansing and disinfecting coops, runs, brooders, fountains, and everything else about the premises. Spray premises daily I when disease is present and once a week as a preventive of red mites, ticks, “blue- bugs” and disease epidemics.

As a veterinary wash in treating swine, sheep, stock, etc., Nox-I-Cide is widely used. For mange, itch, ringworm, galls, sores, scratches, sore mouth, eczema, foot rot.

Conkey’s Gape Remedy comprises two powders— both in sameboxfor one price— one sifted over chicks causes them todislodge theworms in windpipe by coughing, the other is a tonic powder which is mixed in the feed— to help the bird build up its resisting powers and retain its vitality. 25c, 50c; sent postpaid for 30c, 55c.

Cold, rainy, muggy weather and change- able conditions inten- sify Roup. When birds begin to sneeze, froth in eyesj run at nose or show other symptoms of a “cold,” put Conkey’s Roup Remedy in the drinking water.

CO/I/h^S POULTRY TONIC

■p'VERY bird from chick to maturity will be more productive, healthier and more profitable if given a good tonic and regu- lator. Conkey’s Poultry Tonic helps birds get more out of their feed. They produce more eggs and better flesh on LESS FEED, by better digestion and assimilation. Don’t keep lazy hens eating their heads off when with a little assistance they can become layers instead of loafers.

Conkey’s Tonic is all medicine — free from filler, red pepper, and “hot stuff” to overstimulate the birds and break down their health. Conkey’s builds on a natural, healthy basis, in- ducing steady and persistent laying. Keeps the young chicks growing, makes molting easy, strengthens the bird for bad weather and generally maintains a high health average.
