Grow Vegetables
After you have harvested your early crop of vegetables why not plant a second crop for winter use?
It is in winter that vegetables cost most.
Your garden can be made to save you a great deal of money if you plant succession crops during the summer and early fall.
Sow Beets and Carrots any time during June. Turnips ore sweetest if planted the latter part of June or early in July. Summer Radishes can be sown all during June and July.
Sweet Com sown the middle of June will give fine tender ears early in October. A row of Bush Beans planted during the first
for Winter Use
week of July will bear an immense crop of juicy and snappy pods until frost.
Cucumbers planted the last two weeks in June will make the finest pickles you ever raised.
Also try a row of Chinese Cabbage. It does best if planted early in August. For a good supply of crisp and juicy Head Lettuce for the fall table, sow the seed about the second week in July. And don’t forget to sow a long row of Spinach any time during August, to give plenty of greens until snow covers the ground.

FROST-PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS
Our FROST-PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS mean increased profits for the Market Gardener, and earlier cabbage for the Home Gardens, as they produce heads at least two or three weeks earlier than plants grown in hot beds or cold frames. These FROST-PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS are grown out in the open field without protection along the Atlantic Coast, thus being hardened as they grow by the season’s cold. During the trans- planting period they are practically dormant and can be shipped thousands of miles in good condition. They are tough and hardy and will stand any reasonable cold, even as low as 20 degrees above zero without damage to them.
These plants do not begin any new growth of their tops until the spring weather arrives, however, the roots of the plants have become so firmly established that the warm spring sunshine soon hastens the growth of them. The fact that the root conditions are so well provided for and a hardy top ready to begin growth insures you of a crop of mature heads weeks earlier than plants grown from seed sown in your hotbeds or cold frames. On ac- count of this earlier maturity your crop of cabbage will be marketed long before the average cabbage grower markets his, hence your increased profits.
We advise all cabbage growers to set these plants at least a month to six weeks earlier than you would set home-grown plants to get the desired results.
These plants are shipped direct to you from our growing sta- tions along the Atlantic Coast, and we advise you to send in your order about a week or ten days before plants are wanted, as it takes a few days to get plants to you.
You risk nothing in sending in your order to us for these plants as we positively guarantee good order delivery, full count and complete satisfaction or your order duplicated free or money refunded. Terms cash with order. No plants shipped C. O. D.
Varieties — Early Jersey Wakefield, Charleston Large Wakefield, Succession and Large Elat Dutch. Plants are ready for ship- ment from November to June.

Artichokes
CULTURE — Sow in March or April, in rows one foot apart. When two years old transplant into permanent beds, which should be well and deeply ma- nured, and trenched to the depth of two feet. In planting for private use, set out in beds five feet wide, three rows in a bed, the outer being each one foot from the edge, and allow eigh- teen inches between the rows; set the plants from four to six inches below the surface. If set out in autumn, topdress with six inches of manure. For market on a large scale, set out four by one and one-half feet. On the ap- proach of winter cover with ma- nure or comport; fork the beds early in spring, and apply a dressing of salt. Cut for use the second year after planting in permanent bed. Never cut too closely. The roots need the bene- fit of some foliage during the year, else they will weaken and die. Slugs are easily destroyed by applying air-slacked lime or paris-green.

They are long and straight, with closely folded tips. The color is rich dark green, tinted darker at the tips. It is a heavy yielder of exceptionally fine flavor. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c;
Vi lb. $1.25; lb. $4.00.
Conover Colossal — Of large size, tender and of excellent qual- ity. Green shoots. Pkg. 10c; oz. 15c; 14 lb. 25c; lb. 75c.
Harge Green Globe—
This is a very delicious vegetable. Some prefer it cooked like aspara- gus-— that is, take the flower head before it begins to open and cook much the same as asparagus. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c.
Artichoke Boots (Jerusalem) — T h e
tubers roasted or boiled, served with butter, salt and pepper, make a dish some think superior to pota- toes. They are most excellent feed for cows, and will cause an in- crease in quantity and quality of milk.
Price, see page 4.

TABLE BEETS
(German — Bote Bueben. Prench — Bette)
One ounce of seed sows sixty feet of drill; five pounds will sow an acre in drills.
CULTURE — The soil best suited to the culture of the beet is that which is rather light, provided it is thoroughly mixed with manure. If wanted very early, sow in hotbeds and transplant; but for main crop sow in the Spring as soon as the ground be- comes fit to work, in drills 18 inches apart and two inches deep. For winter use sow as late as July. When the plants have at-
tained three or four inches in height, thin out so that they stand five to six inches apart. Keep free from weeds. Before freezing weather sets in, the roots may be stored in cellars or pits, same as Potatoes; dry earth thrown over them before the straw and earth covering is put on insures their keeping over winter. Be careful not to bruise them in handling.

M. Sc S. Southern Pride Carrot
Carrot
(German — Moehre oder Gelhe Rube. French — Carotte)
One ounce to 100 feet of row. 2 or 3 lhs. to acre.
Culture — A light, loamy soil that has been well manured the previous year is preferred for growing carrots, although good crops may also be obtained from ordinary garden soil. For early use seed may be sown in hotbeds from January until March, and in the open ground as soon as the weather becomes warm and settled, usually in April. Sow seed one-half inch deep in rows 15 inches apart, and later thin to five inches in the row. Keep soil between the rows well hoed and free from weeds. From July 1st to 15th sow for Winter crops.
M. Sc S. SOUTHERN PRIDE — An ideal medium early, stump- rooted Carrot; smooth and uniform in shape, averaging five inches in length, with thick, heavy shoulders, rather large tops and deep orange color, almost coveless and of fine flavor.

The first operation is that of ‘'handling,” generally (kme'the be- ginning of September; after the soil has been drawn up with the hoe it is drawn closer around each plant by the hand to keep “*® leaves firm, in an upright position, and to prevent spreading. When the plants have become set in an upright position the Celery wanted for early use should be banked, by throwing the soil up as close to the plants as possible with a plow and finish- ^lth* a spade’ bringing the earth up nearly to the tops or in© pi ants.

Gentlemen,- — Am enclosing a sample from the seed you sent me this last Spring. My garden was a blooming success not one seed did I have to replant.
The Bantam Corn. I had an elegant crop. The Country Gentleman Corn is now just coming in with two developed ears to each stalk. The Yellow Beans were prolific: have had three plantings of radishes; cucumbers are fine and nice.
Only had six rows of Lima Beans, each 40 feet long, from which I have picked over five bushels of pods. Still have about three bushels of pods on the vines. (Signed) HERBERT SAXTON. Raff Road, Canton, Ohio.

M. Sc S. BELVEDERE LETTUCE — In 1912 we introduced this grand Lettuce after having it in our trial grounds for two sea- sons, and we were amply repaid by the success which our Truck Farmer customers had with it. The M. & S. Belvedere is ex- tremely slow in running to seed; it is therefore the ideal Lettuce to plant in the Spring, as it withstands the Summer heat better than any variety we have known so far. It is all green, no red edges, is tender and crisp and has a fine yellow heart. The seed is scarce, and we advise our customers to order quick. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; % lb. 85c; 1 lb. $3.00.

Leek
( German — Lauch. French — Poireau)
One ounce to 150 feet of row.
Culture — Sow the seed and care for the young plants same as for Onions, but they need a little more room to develop fully. When the young plants are about the size of a goose quill, transplant into a prepared bed in rows one foot apart and four to five inches in the rows. Set the roots deep and draw the earth to them when cultivating, so that they may be well blanched by the time they are fit for use.

For early use, sow in hotbed, on piece of sod.

M. & S. DELICIOUS GOLD-LINED ROCKY FORD CANTA- LOUPE— This strain of the Eden Gem type is the result of sev- eral years’ selection by one of the most progressive farmers of Rocky Ford, Colo. Its shape is ideal, very slightly oval, no ribs and it is heavily netted over the entire melon. The bloom button is small and flesh as thick at the end as elsewhere. The melon is thick meated, fine grained and sweet; color, green, with a gold margin next to the seed cavity. Our claim for this melon is its uniform shape, size and very superior quality. Its flesh is at- tractive and elicits favorable comment when served. Every seed we offer from this strain will be from a select melon and hand seeded.

NEW HONEY DEW CANTALOUPE or MELON
Honey Dew produces a melon with smooth, almost white rind, measuring about six inches in diameter by seven to eight inches long. The green flesh is thick and is of a peculiar sweet flavor, resembling a well-ripened banana. To have the melons in the best condition we suggest gathering (or picking) as soon as they slip from the vine and store in a cool place for two or three days before serving, as (like a Casaba) they apparently are at their best when a trifle over-ripe. While we cannot yet recom- mend Honey Dew for general culture, we offer selected seed at: Packet 10c; oz. 20c; *4 lb. 50c; lb. $1.50.
HONEY DEW — Pink-fleshed, same as the above with the ex- ception that the flesh is of a beautiful pink tint and highly flavored. Price same as green-fleshed.

Improved Kleckley Sweet.
TOM WATSON — Our strain of this wonderful shipping melon has been very much improved in the last few years. It com- menced to show white, hard centers, but through careful select- ing our strain will produce nothing but melons which are red
from the rind to the center, not showing any white, streaks. The rind is very tough, making it an excellent melon for shipping- long distances. Its flavor and fine qualities also commend it very strongly for the private grower. It is the most popular melon on our list. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; Vi lb. 25c; lb. 60c.

Improved Georgia Rattlesnake — The old Rattlesnake has al- ways been regarded as a fine melon. Our strain is the result of careful selection by an experienced melon grower through many years of careful and watchful work. The rind is thin and tough, the flesh deep scarlet, the flavor unsurpassed by any other sort. We strongly recommend it both for shipping and home use. Our improved stock is very much superior to the ordinary Georgia Rattlesnake. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; Vi lb. 25c; lb. 75c.
IMPROVED KLECKLEY SWEET — Four years ago our grower set out to perfect a new type of this favorite melon, for the reason that the original type began to show some deterioration, and the color of the seed was showing decidedly too much brown smear, melons were not all growing uniform 'in size, and with the feeling that it is a grower’s duty to keep the type of all good melons up to standard he carefully selected and bred this type until we now have a much better melon than the old type Kleckley Sweet; this improved type grows uniformly large, re- taining all of the fine qualities as a table melon, with an im- portant added feature of having much harder rind, which as- sures its satisfactory carrying quality, while the old type will not stand even short distance shipping in carloads. The seed are all creamy white, with no trace of brown, somewhat larger than the old type seed, the color of rind remain the same — dark bluish green — and grows to much larger size than the old type.

Used for an early crop of onions, and should be planted just as soon as the ground can be worked. Press the bulb lightly in the ground and do not cover; inrowsl2 inches apart, 2 inches apart in the row; so that all thedevelopment goes in the onion; on sgins of their going to seed, bend the top over, but do not break it off. They can be harvested in this locality for Winter storage as early as July 10th. The advantage in planting sets lies in the fact that the young onion is ready in five weeks from time of planting, while those grown frown seed cannot be used until well in the Autumn.

M. & S. SUPERIOR HAND PICKED PEAS
Prolific Early Market.
(German — Erbsen. French — Pois) Prices on Larger Quantities Ojn Application.
Sow one quart of seed to 100 feet of row; one and one-half to two bushels to the acre in drills.
Extra Early Peas — Weigh 60 lbs. to bushel. Wrinkled Peas — 56 lbs. to bushel.
Culture — Peas succeed best in light, dry, loamy soil. Early and dwarf sorts
require richer soil than the late varieties. If manure is used, let it be old and well
rotted, or there will be a rank growth of vines with few pods. Sow the early, smooth, round sorts as early is the Spring as the ground can be worked. Seeds of wrinkled varieties are more liable to rot if the ground is cold, and must be planted later. Sow in single rows, dwarf sorts three feet apart and tall sorts four feet apart, or in double drills, six to eight inches apart, one inch apart in the drill, and not less than four inches deep, for late sorts five to six inches dqep. Deep planting prevents mildew.
If wanted by Parcel Post, include postage, according to zone.

Rhubarb
(German — Bhahaher. French — Bhuharhe)
Culture— Sow seed in a cold-frame, in a fine, rich, sandy loam, about the first of March, in drills four inches apart. Keep the frames cover- ed during nights and cold days, so that the soil will not freeze, and in six or eight weeks the plants will be large enough to set in the open ground. Transplant to a rich soil, and set in rows twelve inches apart and twelve inches in the row. The following Spring transplant to a permanent location, setting four or five feet apart each way. In good soil Rhubarb is ready to use the second year from seed.
If our two-year-old roots are used, a crop may be had the same season, which is much better than sowing seed where only a few plants for family use are needed. In the Fall the bed should have a thick dressing of coarse manure, to be spaded under in Spring.

They are also mashed and baked like Parsnips, and have a sweet and agreeable flavor like that of the oyster.

M. & S. “SURE CROPPING” TOMATOES
(German — Liebesapfel. French — Tomate)
One ounce for 1,500 plants; quarter pound (to transplant) an acre.
Culture — This delicious vegetable is one of the most important of all garden products. The seed should be sown in a hotbed about the first week in March, or latter part of February, in drills five inches apart, and half an inch deep. When the plants are about two inches high they should be set into small pots, allowing a single plant to a pot. About the first of May the plants may be set out in the open ground in hills three feet or four feet apart, each way. (Sufficient plants for a small garden may be started by sowing a few seeds in a shallow box or flower pot, and placing it in a sunny window of the room or kitchen.) Cultivate thoroughly as long as the vines will permit, but the last two or three workings of the soil should be very shallow (surface cultivation), or the crop may be badly injured, espe- cially if the cultivator is run too near the young plants.

M. & S. Incomparable Tomato
We pronounce this the best medium early Tomato that grows. It produces large smooth fruit, which are very thick from stem to blossom end, very solid and of a deep red color. It yields im- mensely and clean up to frost, we have counted fifteen market- able fruit on a single crown setting. We do not mean to say that half the patch will do this, but we can honestly say that we saw a great many plants with seven, eight and nine fruits on a crown setting. The vines are stout and dark green, holding the fruit well off the ground.

Price on application.
Cow Peas with German Millet — This mix- ture, long discouraged because the growth of the older varieties of Cow Peas is slower than that of Millet, is now made profitable by the introduction of the quicker-maturing New Era and Groit Peas; and even two va- rieties that take a little longer to mature— the Brabham and Whippoorwill — make such a luxuriant growth by the time the Millet is ready to cut that the result is a more abundant yield of hay than Millet alone could make, with a corresponding improve- ment in the quality.

Market prices.
Soja Beans in Combination — WITH CORN for the silo, in- crease considerably the protein content of the silage. The two crops are planted on separate fields, and mixed at the rate of one load of Soy Beans to three of Corn. WITH SORGHUM for either soiling, hay or ensilage, may be sown in the proportions of 12 pounds of Sorghum to 3 pecks of Soy Beans to the acre. WITH COW PEAS will usually make a larger yield of hay or forage than either sown alone, and at the same time will bring up the fertility of the land more than any other mixture grown in the summer, as these are the leading soil-improving crops. SOJA BEANS PLANTED ALONE are profitable, whether the crop is for hay, forage or the beans, and while improving the soil, will also stand protracted dry weather better than most other crops, the long tap root going far down into the soil for needed moisture.

THE BEST INOCULATION CULTURES FOR ACCUMULATING NITROGEN
Means Better Crops, Better Soils, Bess Pertilizer Expense
Seeds of all legumes — clovers, alfalfa, sweet clovers, soy beans, vetches, etc. — will yield far better returns if inoculated before planting, and in addition leave in the soil heavy deposits of valuable nitrogen which benefits all succeeding crops. It is crop insurance at very low cost, and the results will repay the small effort involved beyond your expectations.
These scientifically bred cultures are far superior to the natural germs in the soil and therefore inoculation is preferable to uncertain and laborious soil transfer.

No Flower Seed Should Be Planted Deeper Than Its Own Circumference.
M. & S. FLOWER SEED DEPARTMENT pkt. unless otherwise
Our flower seeds have a reputation for their superior quality and for the excellent re- sults obtained by sowing- them. It is our constant en- deavor to supply only such varie- ties and strains that will give the best of satisfac- tion.
Throughout the following pages of Flower Seeds the different varieties are designated as Annuals, Bien- nials, Perennials, etc., and for the benefit of those who are not fami- liar with these terms, we wish to make the following explanation:
Annuals. These grow and bloom, mature their seed, then die in the same year, such as Asters, Balsams, Poppies, Sweet Peas, Morning Glories, etc., some of which may be sown in the house from March to May, or outdoors after danger from frost is over.
Biennials. These grow from seed sown during mid-summer, flowering the second year, after which they die: many of the va- rieties bloom the first season if sown early. In this class we have Pansies, English Daisies, Campanula Medium, Dianthus, etc.
Perennials. Those which live from
year to year, such as Aquilegia, Del- r— - - • -
phinium. Foxglove, etc. Seed may be tV' - jgju
sown outdoors from June to September
and transplanted late in fall into their ;■ jS&'&sSiM aSSF permanent quarters, and protected dur- '• ing winter with a light litter of straw 1 or leaves. The hardy perennials not usually needing any protection after the
first winter: the half-hardy perennials : gjgffi.j&lffSir require protection during the winter,
and the tender perennials during the .''ifc^iBjrTTTT
winter require greenhouse protection. ; v;;yV All Flower Seeds are 10c package unless ‘

M. & S. PERFECT PANSIES
PANSIES
Strictly con- sidered. this is a biennial, but the fact that it flowers the first season from seed recom- mends it for an annual. There are actually three sea- sons in which Pansies can be planted. If started in the house from February till April Pansies' will begin to bloom from July on; sown outdoors in May beautiful flowers are produced in the Fall; sown in frames during July and August and transplanting later gives us the main crop of flowers the following Spring. Pansies thrive best in moist, semi- shady situations.

The color diversifies greatly, some plants produce flow- ers of rich chestnut red, others red flowers tipped with yellow, others wash- ed with red. This variety in size and color makes a hedge or border interest- ing and attractive. Some few seeds will produce plants bearing yellow flowers; for, although the seeds came from carefulliy selected stock, they were grown in a region where sunflowers abound and the wild, doubtless, have crossed some with pollen from the wild flowers. The plants likely to produce yellow flowers have no purple in stem or leaf and can be destroyed when seedlings. Oz. 50c.

M. & S. SUPERB SURE-BLOOMING DAHLIAS
If to be sent by parcel post, add 5c to each root or 25c per dozen.
As soon as the plants are a foot above the ground they should be tied to a stake.
Keep the ground well cul- tivated and free from weeds. An application of sheep manure about every two weeks will be of great benefit.
Never leave more than one shoot to a plant. You will have better plants and larger flowers if you will allow only one main shoot to a plant.
Cactus Varieties
Spade or plow the ground to a depth of about 10 inches. As a fertilizer, use sheep manure and quick-acting bone meal, which should be well mixed with the soil. When the soil is properly prepared, dig a hole 6 inches deep, in which to plant the Dahlias. The bulbs should be laid down flat and covered to a depth of 4 inches. Every Dahlia should have from 2% to 3 feet space and at least 4 feet between the rows.

The“OUT-U-KUM”
WEED PULLER
An Entirely New Principle
A slight Push and Pull thoroughly loosens the surrounding soil and re- moves not only the weed, but the entire root.
When pushed into the ground, the two points guide the BRIDGE down alongside the weed, loosening the soil from that side. It then crosses under the root disengaging the latter. As the tool is withdrawn the BRIDGE slips up the opposite side of the weed, loosening the ground from that side and engages the head of the weed above the ground. The now thoroughly loosened weed i3 readily withdrawn in its entirety with little or no clinainfi soil. ^ — M

Planet Jr. No. 4 Combined Seeder and Cultivator
This tool combines in a single implement, a first-class hill-dropping seeder, a perfect drill seeder, a single wheel hoe, a cultiva- and a plow. It holds two quarts and sows in continuous rows, or drops in hills 4, 6, 8, 12 or 24 inches apart. The index is accurate, simple and easily set. The drill is detached and the tool frame substituted by re- moving but one bolt. It then becomes a single wheel hoe. Price, $19.00.
No. 4-D (As a Seeder only), $15.00.
No. 25 Combined Seeder, Double and Single Wheel Hoe
As a seeder this tool is the same as No. 4 described above but when used as a cultivator it can be set up either as a double or single wheel hoe. Has steel frames and straddles crops until 20 inches high. Two acres a day can easily be worked, and when it is done, it will be a better job than several men could have done in the same time with hand hoes. The most complete of the inter- changeable tools. Price, $22.50.
No. 20-D Fertilizer Drill
Saves Fertilizer. Don’t waste it by broadcasting before seeds are planted, but sow a portion of it when you sow your seed, and then, when the crop is up, hurry it along by side-dress- ing with a quick-acting fer- tilizer, and use the No. 20-D Fertilizer Drill to distribute it. This method will produce crops quicker, and they will be more tender and bring better prices. Use good fertilizer economi- cally and feed it to the plants when they need it most with a Planet Jr. No. 20-D Fertilizer Drill.
Price, $30.00

Flower Boxes
Success
Flower; Boxes
The Success Plant Box is made of strong galvanized iron, neatly enameled in dark green. It is so constructed that the watering is easy, the drainage ample, the air circula- tion perfect.
The Success Box is made with a water pocket on one side at the bottom. This pocket runs the full length of the box. Leading from it, into the box itself, are openings to convey the water to the soil. To prevent these openings from clogging up a roof-shaped piece of metal extends from the pocket openings to the center of the box, at the bottom.
The pocket is simply filled with water and the soil takes it up. Or, water is poured in the. usual way on the top of the soil and the pocket takes care of the sur- plus. The water outlet also forms an air inlet, conveying the air to the center of the soil, where it distributes to every part.
Plants thrive wonder- fully in these boxes.

RITTENHOUSE DOUBLE FAN SEEDER No. 3.

E1ECTEIC INCUBATORS
Use a Lectro-Hatch Electric Incubator and say good-bye to work and worry in hatching. Chicks are as strong and sturdy on the first day as ordinary chicks from four days to a week old. You attach the incubator cord to an electric light socket. Then you adjust the machine to hold hatch- ing temperature by giving one or two turns to a small thumb nut. After that the Regula- tor, which is an exclu- sive feature watches the temperature for you.
Iiectro-Hatch Electric Incubator Elements
Lectro-Hatch El e- ments are specially made by electrical ex- perts to exactly fit your Incubator according to specification. When ordering give us the following information: Make of Incubator, Egg Capacity, Shape of Incubator (Round, Square or Oblong), Length of Top Wall or Lid (Inside), Width of Top Wall or Lid (Inside), Thickness of the Top Wall or Lid, Depth of Egg Chamber (Distance in- side from Lid to Egg-Tray), Voltage Electric Power to be used. Prices: Any size Incubator up to 150-egg Capacity, $12.50; Over 150 and less than 400-egg Capacity, $15.00, postpaid.

pra£J& “Quality” Poultry Feeds
Backed by over 50 years’ experience with poultry, with every ingredient carefully selected and processed, PRATTS FEEDS are scientifically and practically correct. There is a Pratt Feed for every poultry need and every age of fowl. Use “Pratts” from the first feed and follow the Pratt system if you want real success and profit.
Start your chicks on
Pratts, Buttermilk Baby Chick Food
the original “baby food for baby chicks.” It has taken all the guess, worry and loss out of raising baby chicks. Use it the first month to six weeks and watch results. Chicks grow strong, uniform, vigorous and sturdy and are free from leg weakness, “pasting up” and digestive troubles.
Equally good for young turkeys, guineas, ducks, pheasants and game birds. A perfect “baby food” for young fowls.
In packages and 14, 25, 50, and 100 lb. bags
After the little fellows are about a month old switch them to
Pratts, Buttermilk Growing Mash
This splendid mash for the growing youngsters supplies an abundance of every element needed for making bone, muscle, feathers and health. Insures vigor and quick, uniform growth. When they are matured give them

the food that “makes eggs.” Every ounce is real food that nourishes and keeps your hens laying and healthy. It is so appetizing the hens eat it greedily and the more they eat the more they lay. You fill the hopper and the hens will fill the nest. Fine for moulting hens and breeding stock.
Most economical judged by eggs and profit. Pratts is a real “laying mash.”
pr&St§» Scratch Feeds are good clean feeds with no grit, dirt, charcoal, shell or other cheap or useless filler. There is a Pratt Scratch Feed to be used with every Pratt Buttermilk Mash, with which they form perfect balanced rations. Sweet, clean, honestly made feeds.

Makes Hens Lay!
We Guarantee you— More Eggs or No Pay
“Hens won’t lay in Fall and Winter,’’ used to be accepted as a fact. But anyone who has tried Don Sung knows that hens will lay right through the zero spells of winter, and all other cold or wet seasons.
Some may doubt this — and you may be one of them. But if you don’t at least try Don Sung, you are missing some sure, easy profits from extra eggs.
Stops Chicks Dying
The Wonder Remedy for WHITE DIARRHOEA or Cholera in chicks, and Black-Head in Turkeys Does work in 48 Hours
A Mineral Compound that Scientifically Helps Nature
Don Sung doesn’t force or hurt the hen in any way. It is a balanced mijieral conditioner. It improves the hen’s health, tones up her egg-laying organs, and makes her stronger and more productive. It helps sup- ply, during Fall and Winter, those mineral elements, lacking in the feed at that time.
Costs Nothing to Try — Give Don Sung to 15 hens for 30 days. If it doesn’t show you a big increase in eggs, if it doesn’t pay for itself and a good profit, your money will be promptly refunded. Prices: TriaJ size, 50c; Large size, $1, holds 3 times the 50c size; SPECIAL SIZE (6 times the $1 size) — $5.
To Kill Chicken Lice!
The U. S. Dept, of Agriculture says, “Nothing is as satisfactory as Sodium Fluoride. It kills both old and young lice, including the young which hatch from the eggs present on the fowl at time of treatment.” Talcim- ized Sodium Fluoride is the iform for poultrymen to use. Here it is, Ready to Use.
Here is T. S. F., specially made for poultry. It is less irritating, and is so light and fluffy that it penetrates the plumage. It is in a handy sifter-top can that keeps it protected. Carries the Government’s directions for use by the “dusting,” “dip” and “pinch” method.
Prices of T.S. F. Delivered
Small Size (enough for 40
chickens) 40c
Large Size (Twice as
much) 70c
Special Size (Five times (All these prices include
the large size) $2.65 packing and postage.)
White Diarrhoea kills half of nearly every hatch of chicks. The strange thing is that so many people think this loss can’t be stopped. But it can be stopped, without extra work, without troublesome dosing, and at almost no cost. For years, thousands have saved their sick chicks and raised nearly every chick in every hatch, by keeping Avicol in the drinking water.
Avicol is a bowel an- tiseptic. It makes chickens healthy and keeps them healthy.
Costs less than a cent a day for an ordinary flock. Guaranteed1.

Great Many of the Finest Lawns Around Baltimore Are Seeded With M. & S. Well-Known LAWN SEEDS
One of the most essential parts of the country place and suburban home is a carefully made and well-kept lawn. No trouble should be spared in its making, as much of the future results depend upon the start or foundation of the lawn, which, if correctly made, can easily be kept in perfect condition for years, and give pleasure not only to the owner, but to others who see it.
In seeding for lawn-making, care should be taken that a well-balanced mixture of grasses is used, one com- posed of such varieties as will blend together well and also ripen successively, thus securing a healthy and beautiful color throughout the summer. Our M. & S.
Roland Park Lawn Grass Seed produce beautiful and permanent lawns. It is made from our own formula, and composed of grasses which are adapted for the pur- pose of producing turf which retains its rich green color and velvet appearance throughout the entire sum- mer and fall. In making up this brand we are careful to use seed that has been thoroughly recleaned, the light seed and chaff having been blown out.
M. & S. ROLAND PARK LAWN GRASS — 1 lb. 40c ;
3 lb. $1.15; 5 lbs. $1.80; 10 lb. $3.50; bus. of 30 lb. $10.
M, & S. SHADY NOOK GRASS — It is quite difficult to obtain a satisfactory growth of glass under trees and in shady places. For sowing in such places we rec- ommend the use of this special mixture. It will quickly produce an abundant and even growth of beautiful green grass. The grasses used in making this special mixture are only those that are well adapted for growing in shade. It has been successfully used on some large operations where a green sward was desired on land partially shaded by old trees. 1 lb. 40c; 3 lb. $1.15;
5 lb. $1.80; 10 lb. $3.50; bu. of 30 lb. $10.00.
M. & S. PLEASURE GROUND MIXTURE — For fair greens, etc. The turf required for pleasure grounds must be of a character to withstand rough usage. This special mixture is made from our own formula, and will produce a permanent turf that will stand the hardest wear. For tennis courts, cricket tables, golf links, polo grounds, or wherever a good sward is wanted, this seed will give perfect satisfaction. We believe that the golf links should be as fine as a velvety lawn, hence the need of a fine mixture. 1 lb. 40c; 3 lb. $1.15; 5 lb.
$1.80; 10 lb. $3.50; bu. of 30 lb. $10.00.
M. & S. GOLP LINK MIXTURE — This mixture is composed exclusively of fine-bladed grasses which will withstand frequent close cutting and trampling. It does not contain any White Clover, the latter not being suitable for the closely cut golf lawn. It is very important that only grasses which fulfill all requirements for the golf course are used in this mixture. 1 lb. 75c; 3 lb. $2.00; 5 lb. $3.25; 10 lb. or more, at
55c per lb.
M. & S. Permanent Pasture Mixture, either for Low or Up
Lands. It is made up of the grasses best calculated to afford an abundant and nutritious food supply for stock. The formulas are based upon successful experience. For all ordinary permanent pastaurage, they will be found entirely satisfactory. 1 lb. 40c; bu. of 20 lbs. $6.50.
White Clover — V4 lb. 25c; V2 lb. 40c; lb. 75c.
High Grade Shredded Cattle and Sheep Manure
— Should be used liberally on all lawns. The manure we offer will not produce any weeds. We can fur- nish you a whole wagon load in a 100 lb. bag. Por prices see back cover.
CRAB GRASS OR DIGIT ARIA HUMIFUSSa ON LAWNS
If, in the course of events, the fine green lawn on which so many hours of attention has been spent, turns purple in spots so that it seems to have become infected with some dread and obscure disease — blame it on digitaria humifussa.
Such a change often comes over the best of l'awns between the first of August and the last of September. Robert C. Dahlberg, in charge of the State Seed Laboratory at University Farm, said it may be ascribed to the presence of digitaria humifussa, other- wise “small crab grass."
The pest is found throughout the entire East in great quan- tities, said he. This is the treatment he recommends:
When the grass is heading the lawn should be carefully mowed and all grass collected in a collector attachment. To raise the seedheads above the lawn grass a rake should be used and then another application of lawn mower made.
BEAUTIPY THE HOME GROUNDS
In considering the purposes of planting in the home grounds, more and more emphasis is being put upon providing a place of reasonable seclusion where the life of the family may be carried on in pleasant weather amid the delightful surroundings afforded by a garden. Such a place becomes, in effect, an outdoor living room. It is a logical answer to the demands of our summer weather; it carries further the idea which has popularized porch life and puts to valuable use costly space which is frequently wasted.
Why should the owner of a 50-foot lot, 100 feet deep, be satisfied to confine his real use of that area to the space covered by his house, perhaps 25 by 40? If $1,500 be taken as the
& S. ROLAND PARK GRASS SEED — Use 1 lb. to 200 square feet of ground; from 50 to 60 pounds to the acre.
average ground value of the small home grounds, $300 worth is all that is thus used. The rest is commonly devoted to purely ornamental front lawn, and frequently unsightly back yard used, if at all, for hanging up clothes. For an expenditure of little more than the cost of a single piece of furniture in the living room, an outdoor apartment may be built, with grass for carpet, shrubbery for walls, and flowers for decorations, which may well be the most frequented part of the home during six months of the year.
