2 MICHELL’S POT-GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS
EXTRA SELECTED STOCK— STRONG AND WELL ROOTED. WILL YIELD A FULL CROP OF
BERRIES NEXT SEASON. READY ABOUT JULY 15th.
The time of shipment is from July 15th to September 15th. The advantages in planting pot-grown strawberry plants are realized by a full crop of berries the following year. Our plants are carefully grown in clay pots and prior to shipment are taken out of the pots with the original ball of earth at their roots and well wrapped in paper in which they are forwarded, thus insuring the buyer getting them in first-class order and reducing the transportation charges about 25 per cent.
CULTURAL NOTE ON STRAWBERRIES
Strawberries delight in good rich soil that has had plenty of manure added to it. The plants should be set 12 to 15 inches apart in rows 2 feet apart. A row 100 feet long requires approx- imately 75 to 100 plants or about 14,500 per acre. If the weather is dry when planting, water well at the time and for a few days thereafter, if it is possible. Press the soil well around the ball when planting, and keep the soil well cultivated, cutting off all runners that may form. At the approach of permanent winter it pays to cover the entire bed to a depth of 2 inches with clean straw or salt hay. This protects the plants during severe weather. Do not use leaves, as they hold the moisture and cause damage to the plants in winter. At the approach of spring, rake the covering from the plants proper and leave it between the rows; this will serve as a mulch during the summer, protecting against drought, and also keeping the fruit more free from sand; at the same time to a large measure controls the growth of weeds.
EARLY VARIETIES
Campbell’s Early (Perfect). An extra early variety of great merit; a vigorous grower, producing enormous crops of large, rich, red berries. Practically all the fruit grows to full size; a fine commercial sort.
Early Jersey Giant (Perfect). Pre-eminently the finest of the early varieties. It is brilliant scarlet-crimson in color, and exceptionally firm, by far the firmest of all early sorts. Berries very large, conical with pointed tip; has delightful aroma and rich, mild strawberry flavor. A very heavy yielder.
Premier (Perfect). This variety has no weak points, it is a vigor- ous grower, doing well on all types of soil. The plants are enormously productive, commencing early and bearing through a long season. The berries are beautiful in appearance, having a glossy rich red color extending clear through, and a bright green cap; the flavor is delicious. We consider this one of the very best berries in cultivation.
Senator Dunlap (Perfect). This grand Strawberry will please the most critical person. One of the first to yield and con- tinues well into the height of the season. Fruit bright red, glossy and very attractive. It cannot be recommended too highly. ^
A husky developed specimen like this can't fail but give satisfaction
MID-SEASON VARIETIES
Big Joe (Perfect). The merits of this splendid variety are great vigor of plant, splendid root system, exceptional productiveness, large size of fruit, excellent flavor, and length of bearing season. The berries are perfect beauties, of very uniform, conical shape, rich red in color. In size the berries are not surpassed by those of any other variety grown, while the flavor is superior to that of most large fruited sorts.
Brandywine (Perfect). One of the finest of mid-season sorts; it has not a single defect. The plants are of extra strong consti- tution and growth, doing well everywhere. Fruit extra large, heart-shaped; color, bright, .rich red.
Marshall (Perfect). An old variety very highly esteemed. The plant is of vigorous growth and healthy foliage when grown upon fertile soil. Berries are large, of rich quality and meaty texture.
William Belt (Perfect). Chosen for its popularity because of the many good qualities embodied in this one variety. The plant is vigorous, though not a rampant grower; succeeds on all soils, invariably yields heavily, and continues for a long period; the berries are always of large size and highest quality; deep crimson in color and very firm. Continues to bear until almost the close of the season.
Price of Pot-grown Strawberries on this page $1.25 per dozen; per 100, $7.00; $60.00 per 1000.

Stevens’ Late Champion (Perfect). “Very
large; fine flavored; bright color; good shipper; heavy yielder; good fruit stem.”
This berry has averaged 7556 quarts per acre. It has been tested on all kinds of soil and will grow successfully where any strawberry will grow. It will stand a drought better than any other berry ever < grown in this section. It has never shown ' - '•%

Type of Ever-beariny Strawberries
AUTUMN FRUITING OR EVER-BEARING STRAWBERRY PLANTS
This type, while producing its main crop of berries with the general sorts, continues uninterruptedly to mature its fruit, until cheeked by hard frosts; it has actually been known to bear straw- berries until Christmas, when the weather is open and mild. In order to get the greatest crop of berries late, the blossoms should Ire kept cut off until August 1st, so as to conserve the energies of the plants for the fall crop.
All Season. A new variety and one of the most valuable ever produced. It begins bearing in June and continues to bear large quantities of berries right through the summer and fall. The berries are large, somewhat cone shaped and of fine quality. Price, pot grown plants, $3.00 per doz.; per 100, $17.50. Progressive. The berries are medium in size and delicious in quality. You can get fruit a few weeks after the plants are set a n they continue to hear until freezing weather. Price, pot grown plants, $1.35 per doz.; per 100, $8.00; $70.00 per 1000.

EXTRA STRONG CELERY PLANTS
(Ready about July 10th)
A WORD ON CELERY CULTURE.— Celery delights in a good, rich, moist soil. Locations where the soil may become dry should be avoided. Nothing is more beneficial or so little work as the watering of celery during periods of drought. After it has been transplanted and made some growth, the plants should be set in permanent rows 6 to 8 inches apart in the row. Many private gardeners prefer to use the two-row system of trenches, it will be found very advantageous to work. If the idea of the market gard- ener is carried out, the celery is planted in single rows about 2 feet apart, 6 or 8 inches apart in the row. By the former method the celery is usually banked up to blanch until almost entirely covered with soil; the top is then covered with leaves or other litter as winter approaches. In the single-row system the celery is banked up gradually to blanch, and after this process is over, at the ap- proach of winter it is dug up and laid in shallow trenches after being cleaned. Storing for winter is done by covering it with waterproof celery paper and topping off with soil or leaves. The celery may thus be gotten out for market during the severest weather. Good cultivation is highly necessary during the growing period.
French Golden Self Blanching. An early sort. The heart is a rich golden-yellow, with light yellowish-green outer leaves.
Giant Pascal. One of the largest stalked kinds. It is in its prime for use during February and March, and can be used well up into spring.
White Plume. The White Plume is un- surpassed for fall and early winter use, requiring very little earthing to blanch it.

FRENCH ROMAN HYACINTHS
French Roman Hyacinths afford a continuous supply of bloom from early winter until late in spring if planted in succession (two weeks apart). They are very fragrant.
If bulbs are potted in August or September, the pots plunged in the open ground for a month, until well rooted, and then brought in the house, they can be had in flower in November or December. They are not hardy and are not suitable for outdoor planting.
If wanted by Parcel Post, add 20c. per doz., 75c. per 100, for postage.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
PLEASE READ
The Federal Horticultural Board of the United States Department of Agri- culture has decided to forbid the importation of all varieties of Narcissus Bulbs for garden bloom, house culture or for forcing under glass after 1925. They claim this action is necessary because of insect pests which the Narcissus Bulbs might introduce.
We have no knowledge of any so called menace to any industry caused by Narcissus Bulbs. Every shipment is certified, by competent foreign entomologists, to be entirely free from all insect pests.
The Department of Agriculture has never granted the flower lover, (you who plant for pleasure or profit) or, we who import Narcissus as a part of our business, a hearing on the subject, as the law requires; they know only one side their own.
If you want Narcissus in ample supply, write your Senators and Congress- men and protest against the enforcement of the Narcissus Embargo under quarantine No. 37, without a public hearing. There are 100,000,000 (one hundred million) Narcissus Bulbs used in the United States each year.
If you are interested in getting Narcissus Bulbs that will bloom, after 1925, at a reasonable price, write your Senators and Congressmen today.
Respectfully,

L1LIUM CANDIDUM (Madonna Lily) (Ready in August)
This variety is sometimes called St. Joseph’s, Madonna, or Annunciation Lily. One of the most popular and satisfactory of the American garden lilies. Pure waxy white flowers produced on straight stems, bearing anywhere from 10 to 30 blooms of good size and substance, and delightfully fragrant. Effective planting is the result of massing them in clumps or borders. Our bulbs are grown in Northern France, where they have a reputation of grow- ing the finest in the world. To insure absolute success, plant the bulbs as early as possible — September preferred — 6 inches deep, imbedded in sand and placed on their side; height, 4 feet; blooms
in June. By

LILIUM HARRISII
(The Bermuda Easter Lily)
Cultural Note. — In order to obtain best results, attention to the following brief directions will assist materially: Upon receiving the bulbs, pot them immediately. Place a handful of well-rotted cow manure in the bottom of the pot and place the bulb directly on top, covering it with soil. After watering, place in an outside pit and protect from the direct rays of the sun; cover well with soil, ashes or any other suitable litter. When the bulbs have become thoroughly rooted, bring inside, in a temperature of about 60 degrees; let the plants grow slowly under a bench or some other suitable place until about 6 inches high, then place on top of the bench. About two months before Easter they can be brought into a warmer temperature and gradually forced into flower and height at one time. An occasional application of liquid cow manure, starting about six weeks before flowering time, will stimulate the plant wonderfully. Thorough rooting is most essential.

PURE SPORE CULTURE SPAWN
The growing of Mushrooms is rapidly increasing, and the demand for them has reached immense proportions. A fine crop of mushrooms can be secured with very little labor or expense, provided a suitable location can be obtained. Cellars, greenhouses and sheds can be used for their culture. We are now offering our customers spawn that is made in quart milk jars under absolutely sterile conditions. The bottle and materials are sterilized under steam pressure of twelve lbs., so that every mould, weed seed or insect is destroyed and each bottle contains nothing but the pure spawn. Every particle is full run, covered with spawn grown direct from the spores. One carton of the spawn equals 5 bricks of ordinary spawn and is sufficient to spawn about 40 square feet. The sterile spawn is dried thoroughly and each piece wrapped in tissue paper, which contains full instructions, not only as to how the spawn should be used, but full particulars about growing mushrooms. Any one can order spawn and with it get the neces- sary knowledge to make growing entirely successful.
PRICES
Per carton $1.00 | 25 cartons $21.25
12 cartons..' 10.75 | 60 cartons 48.00
If wanted by P. P., allow 10c. per carton for postage.
PURE CULTURE BRICK SPAWN
A crop is produced with good spawn, and a little care and patience in about 4 to 6 weeks, and continues bearing about two months. New beds can be started at intervals which will give a supply the entire season. The first planting can be made in July, the last in March. Summer spawned beds do not bear well. Ask for our Free Booklet on Mushroom Culture. One Brick will spawn 8 to 10 sq. ft.
Direct No. 8. Cream White. For use from April to October. Direct No. 9. Pure White. For use from October to April.
Per brick $0.35 | Per 10 bricks $2.75
Per 5 bricks i.50 | Per 25 bricks 6.50
Per 50 bricks $12.50
If wanted by P. P., allow for postage at the rate of 10c
per brick.

MICHELL’S LIQUID WEED KILLER
An effective combination of high-grade chemicals which, diluted in water, destroys the roots as well as the tops of all weeds and vegetation to which it is applied.
One gallon diluted is sufficient to cover 100 to 125 square yards and one or two applications are sufficient for an entire season. Does not injure marble, cement or fencing. The best time for applying is just after a rain.
CLIMAX LAWN SAND
FOR USE ON LAWNS AND GRASS PLOTS
“Lawn Sand” is a unique combination of finely ground chemi- cals, which when sprinkled over the grass, possess the remarkable property of destroying Moss, Chickweed, Plantains, Dandelion, and all other weeds on Lawns, Tennis Courts, Golf Greens, etc., at the same time promoting the growth of the finer grasses.
“Lawn Sand” may be applied any time during the growing sea- son of the year namely, from beginning of April to the end of October.
The lawn must be absolutely dry; by that is meant that no rain or dew must be visible on the grass.
Ten to twelve a. m. during the months of April, May and October, nine to twelve a. m. during June, July, August and September are the best hours for application.
Only apply in fine weather when the temperature is fairly high and when no rain appears likely for a day or twro. This is most important.
After applying, the weeds blacken and die; the grass usually also becomes blackened and may remain so for a few days, but it quickly recovers its color, and young growths appear on the bare spots previously occupied by the weeds.
Should the weather be very hot and dry, the lawn should be thoroughly watered at the expiration of 48 hours after the appli- cation .
It acts as one of the most powerful fertilizers for grasses if applied as a top-dressing in the early spring. For top dressing as a fertilizer apply Y ton per acre.

MICHELL’S IMPROVED GRAPE BAGS
Thousands of bunches of grapes are wasted annually because they are not protected against the ravages of insects, birds, etc. Michell’s Improved Grape Bags are economical, easily attached and last a season. The fruit ripens just as readily in them as it does in the open. The bags should be attached when the grapes
fare the size of a pea, prior to which it is suggested that they be sprayed (even though not affected), against blight or fungus; the bags should be left attached until the fruit is ready to harvest. >

ERADO WEED GUN
As handy as a cane, which it resembles. Fill the reservoir, which holds about 2 quarts of liquid, with some weed destroying preparation, diluted. It will destroy weeds of all kinds in lawns without hurting the grass. Press the sharp point of the gun into the heart of the weed until the flat stay pieces touch the ground, when a quantity sufficient to kill is discharged into the heart of the plant which is destroyed for all time. Galvanized iron. (See cut.) Price, $1.25 (by mail, $1.40)..
