Reuter’s
Free Flower Seeds

FOUR PACKETS FREE with
Every Order for 50c or More

“Yes, in the poor man’s garden grow
Far more than herbs and flowers —

Kind thoughts, contentment, peace of mind.

And joy for weary hours.” — Howitt.

But leave the flowers out of our garden
and there will be less kind thoughts, less con-
tentment, less peace of mind, and less of the
joy of life. The beauty and good cheer
radiated by pretty flowers are not denied the
modest southern home, for this season, as in
past years, I again offer my famous Collection
of Flower Seeds FREE with every order
amounting to 50 cents or more.

The 1925 Collection includes one packet
each of Mixed Cosmos (No. 1), Tall Mixed
Larkspur (No. 2), Sweet Alyssum (No. 3),
and Double Mixed Cornflower, or Bachelor’s
Button (No. 4).

One look at the natural illustrations of
these pretty varieties on this page and I am
sure you will want them growing in your
garden. Plain cultural directions are given
with each Collection. Because of the large
number that we are called upon to give, the
collections must necessarily be prepared
early in the season and no changes can be
made in the varieties. Please remember, too,
that the Collection is given with each order
for 50 cents or more — this does not mean a
Collection for every 50-cent portion
of your order.

SEEDS FOR THE SOUTH

Reuter’s Selected Seeds for Southern Gardens

IN the first eight and last eight pages of this Catalog I am describing and picturing in actual, true-to-nature colors, a number of varieties
of Vegetables, Flowers and Bulbs that are best adaptable and have proven most popular throughout the South. It is not for me to
say that these are “the finest varieties that grow,” but I have seen, during my years in the seed business, these varieties develop in
sales, year after year, until they amount to far more than those of other sorts. Market and home gardeners write me that they have
found these vegetable varieties standard in the markets, that they are dependable, season after season, and that they make more profit
in sowing these sorts. I believe you’ll find any of them highly satisfactory and you will make no mistake in placing them at the top
of your order. The Flowers and Bulbs pictured will beautify any home and every one is thoroughly adapted to the South.

Crosby Egyptian Beet No. 54 — ■

The Finest Strain in America Today. No

other beet has so many real, genuine points
of merit as this highly developed, closely
selected, pedigreed strain of the famous
Crosby Egyptian. A consistent demand from
the same people year after year for this
variety should be sufficient endorsement. The
small top of this variety makes it especially
desirable for bunching. The roots are flat-
tened globe shape and very smooth. The
exterior color of the root is bright red. The
flesh is bright vermilion red, zoned with a
lighter shade, very sweet, tender and of excel-
lent quality. French grown seed only.

Prices: Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; y lb., 25c;
lb., 85c; 5 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. Not pre-
paid, 10-lb. lots or over, at 70c per lb.

Reuter’s Black Valentine Bean

xt -j a The Earliest Bean to Plant,

INO. v Owing To Its Hardiness. A

very hardy and productive green podded sort
with strong, vigorous vines. This bean with-
stands early and late frosts that kill other
varieties. It yields enormously and the pods
are one-third longer than most other green
podded sorts; they are perfectly round and
straight. It is extensively used for shipping.
Thousands of acres in Florida, Mississippi,
Alabama, Louisiana and other Southern States
are devoted during the spring and fall to its
cultivation for early market purposes. Ready
for picking in 45 days. Our strain is unexcelled.
See illustration on page 14.

Prices: Pkt. 3 full ounces), 10c ; y2 lb.,

bu., $10.00.

Wardwell’s Kidney Wax Beans

Giant Stringless Green Pod Bean

14. Absolutely Stringless, Attractive Long

Green Pods. A very desirable green
podded sort for the home garden and largely grown
for the market. The handsome round pods are six
to seven inches long, dark green in color, brittle and
perfectly stringless. It is one of the most productive
sorts, and can perhaps be picked in one-third the time
of any other sort. This variety, illustrated in colors
at bottom of page, has achieved unheard-of popu-
larity in Texas, Mississippi and other Southern
states, where it is grown on a large commercial
scale for shipping the young “snaps” to Northern
markets. Our stock is pure.

Prices: Pkt. (3 full ounces), 10c; y2 lb., 25c;
lb., 45c; 2 lbs., 80c; 5 lbs., $1.75, postpaid. Not

Wardwell’s Kidney Wax Bean

23 Unsurpassed in Richness of Quality.

One of the earliest, best, and hardiest of
the wax sorts. The plant becomes loaded with long,
broad, and flat, beautifully waxy colored pods which
are stringless and of a rich, luscious flavor, and are
exceedingly brittle: the dried beans are a distinct
kidney shape. The pods are about six inches long
and of excellent quality. They always command a
ready sale on all markets making the variety one of
the most profitable for the trucker.

Prices: Pkt. (3 full ounces', 10c; y2 lb., 20c;

Reuter’s Selected Seeds for Southern Gardens

Reuter’s Peerless Purple Top White Globe Turnip No.

Cfro Our highly perfected strain of the famous Purple Top White Globe Turnip

is more largely planted by truckers, gardeners, and farmers in the South
than any other stock we know of. It is a large, rapid growing turnip with globular
shaped roots. Flesh is pure white, and skin is white with purple at the portion
which grows above the ground. This type of turnip is very popular for both table
use and feeding stock. It is in fine condition for table use when of medium size, but
should be allowed to grow large when used for cattle feeding. Our strain is surely
of excellent quality and splendid flavor. It is a heavy cropper and fine for bunching
purposes. Each and every year thousands of pounds of our selected stock of this
grand variety are planted by the New Orleans market gardeners, as well as bv
commercial truckers throughout the South for shipment to Northern markets.
You make no mistake when you plant this particular sort, because it excels anything
I have ever seen on the market.

Prices: Pkt., 5c; 02., 10c; lb., 25c; lb., 75c; 5 lbs., $3.50, postpaid. Not

„ , . XT The Finest Spring Cabbage for

Reuter's Charleston Wakefield Cabbage JNo. os the south, standing preeminent

as the finest spring cabbage for the South, Reuter’s Charleston Wakefield has contributed much towards
placing cabbage from the Sunny South on the northern markets during the spring months. The heads when
matured average 10 to 12 pounds each and sometimes more. For sureness 111 heading and regularity of
growth, Reuter’s Charleston Wakefield Cabbage is the acme of perfection. It is unquestionably the best
variety to plant during the early spring
months for either home use or market.

The heads are of equal size and as hard and
as solid as a cannon ball. The most severe
weather ever known in this section hardly
inflicts any injury to Reuter’s Charleston
Wakefield. The type is remarkable for its
quick-growfing habits, fully two weeks
earlier than the flat-headed varie-
ties. The plants owing to their
compact growth and few outer
leaves can be set close together
and yield an enormous crop per
acre. Unusually crisp and sweet for
home use. Long Island grown seed

Reuter’s Peerless Purple Top White Globe Turnip

Reuter’s Danvers Half Long Carrot No.

The Best Carrot for All Purposes. The most

popular carrot for the market gardener and trucker,
and for many years has led our whole list as the best seller. A
half-long orange carrot, grown largely on account of its great
productiveness and adaptability to all classes of soil. It is
a desirable second early carrot for the home garden and is
also the best money-making variety for the
market gardener and trucker. The tops are
of medium size. The mature roots are of
medium length, six to eight inches long,
tapering uniformly to a blunt point. Grown
extensively by market gardeners for bunch-
ing, and largely shipped to northern markets.

Our strain is unbeatable.

Reuter’s Extra Dark Evergreen White
Spine Cucumber No. 215— SpilnTfOT^n-

eral Crop. A black-green cucumber that holds its color better
than any other sort. If you want a real dark green White Spine
variety, plant this one. The rich color holds for several days
after reaching the markets in Northern cities, and on account
of this profitable characteristic it is largely planted by market
gardeners and trackers. It is extremely prolific, an unbeatable
shipper, and very early. It is crisp and tender and retains its
fresh appearance long after being gathered. The fruit is from
eight to nine inches long, and two to three and one-half inches
in diameter. It is unsurpassed as a table and market cucum-
ber. It has all the good points that a
cucumber should have and none of the bad
ones, and will be found satisfactory for
both market and home use. It has an ideal
shape, and the handsomest dark green
color. Ready to pull in 55-60 days. It is a
type of the most perfect size, just what is
wanted either for the table or market. Eat-
ing qualities surpass any other cucumber.

Reuter’s Peerless Succession No. 91 — ™e ™ost cele;

brated second

early variety of cabbage in cultivation. It stands today unrivalled as a second-early
or main-crop sort. The heads become solid long before they are fully grown, so that
though immature, heads of satisfactory size may be cut long before it is at its best.
This quality, combined with its ability to stand well without splitting, makes it avail*
able for use over a longer season than most other sorts. The heads are of medium
size, very firm and solid, averaging 10 to 12 inches in diameter, but are frequently
larger. Average weight 12 to 15 pounds, although our growers have produced cabbages
from our seed to weigh 25 pounds. My strain is remarkable for its purity, trueness
to type and uniformity. We offer Long. Island grown seed only, stock that is de-
pendable.

Reuter’s Mammoth Big Boston Lettuce

Reuter’s New Orleans’
Market Eggplant No. 236 —

The Finest Home and Shipping Variety.

A long, dark purple variety that is absolutely
distinct, being perfectly adapted to the South in
every respect. The seed is produced in New
Jersey from my own personal stock seed. No
eggplant on the market combines such wonderful
characteristics for the market gardener and
trucker. These eggplants will carry to any
market in the United States or Canada without
spoiling. Their keeping quality is a profitable
asset. The plants grow large and high, sometimes
five feet, and bear fruit entirely off the ground.
Being an upright grower, it resists heat and
drouth. Its color is deep purple, sometimes show-
ing a tinge of red, very large in size, oval in shape,
absolutely spineless, and of the finest quality.
If you are going to plant eggplants this spring,
and are in doubt as to what variety to sow, don’t
hesitate to plant this one by all means. No one
else can offer you the same stock. The shortness
of the present, seed crop urges early ordering.

Reuter’s Golden Self -Blanching

Cnl pi-ti 'Mrv 1 This is the standard celery

IXU. Idd for the South. Our strain
is extra fine. Critical market gardeners generally depend
upon our stock to produce their finest early celery. It
is also excellent for home gardens. The plants are of
medium size, compact and stocky, with yellowish green
foliage. As they mature, the inner stems andieaves turn
beautiful golden yellow so that blanching is effected at
a minimum expense of time and labor. Its handsome
color, crispness, tenderness, freedom from stringiness and
fine nutty flavor have established it as a superior variety
for market gardeners and truckers in the South.

Prices: Pkt., 10c; }4oz..60c; oz.,$1.00; 14 lb.,
$3.25; lb., $12.00, postpaid.

Reuter’s Mammoth Big
Boston Lettuce No. 319 — £&!

of All Lettuces. A perfected strain of the Big
Boston type that is far superior to any other
variety whether sown for market purposes, for
shipping trade or for the home garden. It is
a certain header, slightly larger in its growth
than the Big Boston, but otherwise identical in
its characteristics. It is slow to run to seed, is
not easily affected by hot weather, absolutely
free from bitterness, and matures a solid head of
crisp, tender, delicious lettuce. My own ex-
clusive strain of this perfected variety will
mature earlier than even my regular strain of
Big Boston and the heads will all be of excep-
tional size and unsurpassed quality. The supply
of this strain of seed, entirely controlled by me,
is never plentiful and I urge you, whether you
be market or home gardener, to send your order
in early and not be among those disappointed.
If you nave never before planted this particular
strain of Big Boston you will find it so desirable
that you will sow it every season and recom-
mend it to your neighbors. It will bring extraor-
d inary profits to the commercial gardener and
supply the family table with the finest lettuce
you have ever produced. Truckers in many
gardening sections sow this strain exclusively.
Isn’t that a sufficient recommendation for you
to include it in your order?

Prices: Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; % lb., 15c;

Be Sure to Plant Reuter’s Early Bermuda Onions

We unhesitantly recommend the Bermuda varieties for earliness, good yields
and mildness of flavor. They are equally good for pulling green or after they
are fully matured. Bermuda Onions are so mild in flavor that many people
eat them raw, like an apple.

REUTER’S BERMUDA ONION SEED

Imported direct from Tenerife. We sell annually more Bermuda Onion Seed
than any other seed establishment in this country. “There’s a reason.”

Reuter’s White or Yellow Bermuda No. 365 — popuiftf

the Bermuda varieties. It is the standard variety with the large commercial Bermuda
onion growers in Southwest Texas and elsewhere. It is a light straw-colored onion. Our
special stock ripens early, is of the best color and the heaviest yielder. No onion com-
pares with the Bermuda in mildness of flavor, and for this reason it is extensively
planted, especially in the South, where it reaches perfection. You will make no mistake
in planting the Bermuda onion this spring. We recommend this variety unreservedly
for earliness, good yields and mildness of flavor, either young for pulling'green or fully
matured.

Prices: Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; y lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50; 5 lbs., $16.25, postpaid.

tji ysidl VvilJLlc VV aA iN<LP. OOif most attractive onion in the world. It
is an absolutely pure white Bermuda Onion with a most beautiful waxy appearance that
makes it sell on sight in all markets. In New York and other large markets, Crystal
White Wax Onions, produced from our seed, sell for 25c to 50c a crate above the Bermuda
White or Yellow. This is the onion retailers so generally offer for sale as it really sells
itself. No other onion has such clear white skin, such mildness of flavor. It is de-
liciously tender and can be eaten raw like an apple. A large yielder, consequently a
highly profitable type to grow. Except in color, it is identical with the White or Yellow
Bermuda; has all of the desirable qualities, with which is combined a much more hand-
some appearance. Spring planting of Bermuda onions in the South during the past ten
years has proved the tremendous value of these varieties for spring planting in the more
northern sections of the South where it gets too cold for the same sorts to live through
the winter.

REUTER’S ONION PLANTS

We are now able to supply you with Genuine Yellow, Red and Crystal
White Wax Onion Plants, also Reuter’s Prizetaker and Reuter’s Genuine
Red Creole Onion Plants.

This large assortment of the finest varieties can be furnished to you.
Onion Plants are even more hardy than Frost Proof Cabbage Plants, stand-
ing heavier and even light freezes without being killed.

Onion Plants are becoming more popular than Onion sets. The set has
to be absorbed by the new growth before it begins to form the new
onion, whereas the plant begins to grow as soon as it is planted and
makes more headway than the set, producing delicious young onions
for table use during the late spring and early summer. Onions grown
from plants are larger and do not run to seed in the spring like sets.

They can be set out at the same time you would plant onion sets or
cabbage, plants with every assurance of producing a good crop of
onions. Onion plants, will usually produce onions two to five times
larger than those grown from the dry sets. Plant in rows about 15
inches apart, and 3 to Pinches apart in the rows.

THIS IS REUTER’S WONDERMELON

No. 607- _This wonderful white-seeded watermelon, which I first introduced in 1918, has become the most popular melon in the whole
South. Without a doubt, it is the best all 'round watermelon you can grow and there is nothing that I can say about it that
hasn’t already beeh§aid by those who have grown it. I have never yet grown sufficient seed to supply the demand, though my stock this season
totals about 15 tons! Take my tip and order early so that you will be sure to have the best watermelon that grows.

Reuter’s Wondermelon grows uniformly large and long, resembling the Tom Watson, but thicker, more solid and usually larger and heavier.
Not unusual for them to weigh 40 to 50 pounds. Its brilliant red flesh is sweet to the rind, free from cores or hard centers, while the rind is
thin, yet sufficiently tough to ship reasonable distances. The melon is a dark glossy green with small creaselike markings on the larger sizes, a
most attractive product. Further described on Page 30.

Reuter’s Selected Seeds for Southern Gardens

Reuter’s EDEN GEM Cantaloupe No. 109 —

The Greatest Rockyford Melon for the South (Green Fleshed)— This

well-known strain of the famous Rockyford Cantaloupe has made good in
every section of the South, and today ranks as one of the foremost and de-
pendable varieties. It is a heavy yielder, nearly all of the melons are solid
net, the meat deep and of excellent quality. The melons are of standard
size, being but few too large and less too small. The Eden Gem is a sure
money maker for the cantaloupe grower for shipping to the big markets, and
is also a highly desirable sort for the home gardeners.

The flesh of these melons is green, lusciously sweet and melting; it can be

eaten close to the rind.

The seed cavity is
extremely small. The
average weight of the
melon is about one and
one-half pounds, and the
largest per cent of the
crop is of such size as
to pack 45 melons to
the standard crate
(12x12x24 inches). The
netting is extremely
well developed, closely
laced, of gray color,
coveringthe entire fruit.

Reuter’s Eden Gem is
one of the best early
strains, and more pro-
lific and rust-resistant
than nearly any other
variety.

Prices: Pkt., 10c;

oz., 20c; A lb., 50c; lb., $1.50; 5 lbs., $7.00, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10-lb. lots or over,
at $1.25 per lb.; 50-lb. lots or over, at $1.10 per lb. ; 100-lb. lots or over, at $1.00 per lb.

Reuter’s Genuine Green Striped Cashaw Pumpkin No. 445 —

This is the grandest and finest pumpkin for the man who lives in the South. It is a large crook-
neck variety, grown largely in Louisiana and other Southern states and extensively by the
local market gardeners for the New Orleans market. Fruits are large, with crooked neck.
Color creamy white, irregularly striped or traced with green. Flesh light yellow, very
thick, rather coarse, but sweet. Very hardy and vigorous, bugs seldom bothering them.
Can be grown among corn and makes heavy yields. Fine for either stock or table purposes.
If I were asked the one best pumpkin to plant, I would unhesitatingly recommend this one.
The seed we offer is the genuine stock, produced from our own private stock, which we have
kept pure for many years. It is far superior to other stocks offered under the same
name and should hardly be compared with Green Striped Cashaw Pumpkin offered by
other seedsmen.

Prices: Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; A lb., 50c; lb., $1.50; 5 lbs., $7.00, postpaid. Not pre-
paid, 10-lb. lots or over, at $1.25 per lb.

Reuter’s Genuine Green Striped Cashaw Pumpkin

Reuter’s Peerless June Pink
Tomato No. 557-“^^?-!

A highly developed strain that will produce an
attractive purplish-pink tomato of the finest
quality as early as the Earliana. The fruits are
large, nearly round, very smooth and solid. The
fruits grow in clusters and fairly load down the
plants with an abundance of uniform tomatoes. As
smooth as the Stone and as seedless as the Ponde-
rosa. It is a splendid shipper and a great favorite
among the large commercial tomato growers in
South Texas. Each year many carloads of tomatoes
are shipped out of Texas to all portions of the
United States, the fruit all grown from Reuter’s
June Pink Tomato seed.

Prices: Pkt., 10c; oz., 4fc; A lb., $1.25; lb.,
$4.50; 5 lbs., $21.25 postpaid. Not prepaid,
10-lb. lots or over, at $4.00 per lb.

Reuter’s Selected Seeds for Southern Gardens

World’s Record No 420 This is a new large podded, dwarf pea of unusual merit. It

deserves great popularity because it is the earliest of all the large
podded sorts and the peas will keep in fine condition an unusually long time after they are picked. It is
extremely popular with market gardeners and commercial truckers and practically every Southern pea-
growing section. It is really an improved type of the Clradus but earlier, more dwarf, true-to-type and
tremendously productive. Average height about 2 feet, vines moderately stout, medium green; pods
medium green, fully 4 to 5 inches long, fairly broad, pointed and well filled with seven to nine very large,
dark green peas of exceptional quality. The more discriminating and critical a home or market gardener
you are, the more emphatic your appreciation will be for this magnificent pea. As a money making
variety, it is unmatched. There is no pea more prolific. It is a leader in the market and always in
demand. It is surely a grand, exceptionally new variety that deserves its popularity and is an invaluable
addition to our already splendid list of garden peas.

Prices: Pkt. (3 full ozs.), 10c; J-2 lb., 25c; lb., 45c; 2 lbs., 80c; 5 lbs., $1.75, postpaid. Not pre-
paid, peck (14 lbs.), $3.50; bu. 156 lbs.), $13.00; 2 bu., or more, per bu., $12.00.

Earliest of All or Alaska No. 404 You want to plant an acre or so of this extra-early

pea, which matures in about 30 days. Be sure,
however, that you procure Reuter’s Northern Grown Pea Seed. By careful selection and growing, we
have developed a stock of this smooth blue pea of unequalled evenness in growth and early maturity
of pods, which are filled with medium sized green peas of good flavor. The vines are medium in height,
about 2J4 to 3 feet. The pods are of good size, about 2 Yi to 2% inches long. This sort matures all
of its crop at once and is a valuable variety for market gardeners and canners.

Prices: Pkt. (3 full ozs.), 10c; J-i lb., 25c; lb., 45c; 2 lbs., 80c; 5 lbs., $175, postpaid. Not
prepaid, peck (15 lbs.), $3.50; bu. (60 lbs.), $13.00; 2 bu. or more, per bu., $12.00.

Reuter’s Royal King Pepper No. 427

World’s Record Garden Pea

Reuter’s Royal King- Pepper

A Regal Beauty — Immensely
Popular. A wonderful pepper
for commercial truckers who ship to Northern
markets. For four years we have sold a
limited quantity of this seed to a few of our
market gardeners and the results have been
more than we even anticipated. We expect to
sell more seed of this variety than all others
combined, and justly so, due to its superb quali-
fications, which puts Royal King head and
shoulders over any pepper introduced within the
past ten years. Unequalled for home use, but
more especially adapted to truckers and market
gardeners who ship their products, due to its
uniformity of size and shape, making it a most
excellent sort for this particular purpose. Its
fine appearance on arrival in markets will insure its being sold at top prices at all times.
This new sweet pepper was developed and perfected in the South, and will in time take
the place of all other sorts planted in a commercial way. It is very prolific, fruit of
brilliant color, very glossy, of large size; the flesh is very thick and mild. Our stock
runs remarkably true to type, producing strong, stocky plants of erect growth. If you
were to ask me for the one pepper to plant in the South for home garden or shipping,
I would unhesitatingly recommend Reuter’s Royal King. The flavor is exceedingly
mild, can be eaten raw, and when stuffed and cooked, it has no equal. This is a money-
making pepper for anyone sowing a large or small acreage.

Prices: Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; M lb., $1.25; lb., $4.50; 5 lbs., $21.25, postpaid.
Not prepaid, 10-lb. lots or over, at $4.00 per lb.

Renter’s World Beater No. 437 — t

between the Chinese Giant and
Ruby King, is shaped similar to the Ruby King, except it is broader at the pointed end
and almost the size of the Chinese Giant. It may be sliced and eaten raw without fear
of burning. Flesh thick and sweet, very productive, matures in about 130 days. This
is one of the largest and finest mild peppers in cultivation. This new variety is becom-
ing more popular every year with large commercial truckers in Florida, Texas, Louisiana,
etc. Our stock of this variety is grown expressly for us under special contract so as to
afford our many customers seed that has been selected only from the finest types. Illus-
trated on page 39.

Cincinnati Market Radish

King of Denmark
Spinach

Reuter’s Cincinnati Market RADISH No. 463—

the finest long; radish to plant for shipment to Northern markets. I annually sell tons of this seed to
customers along the Gulf Coast. It is the standard market radish in a number of Southern trucking
centers, and is without a doubt the most profitable long variety in cultivation. The skin is scarlet
colored, and very thin; the flesh is crisp, brittle, and of a delightful flavor. The roots are slender and
before becoming pithy are often six to eight inches long by about five-eighths of an inch in diameter at the
shoulder. I am proud of my superior seed, which is grown expressly for me under contract in the far North,
enabling our stock to produce marketable radishes earlier than other stocks offered.

Prices: Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 34 lb., 25c; lb., 80c; 5 lbs., $3.50, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10-lb. lots or over,

Earliest White Bush Squash

Patty Pan Squash, and is
largely planted by mar-
ket gardeners and com-
mercial truckers in the
South who are anxious to
produce the earliest sort
for shipment to North-
ern markets. We don’t
know of anything earlier
than this sort. The vines
are vigorous and productive. The fruits are of medium
size, somewhat flattened and scalloped. The color is
creamy white and comparatively smooth in surface. For
many years we have found our stock earlier than others,
and, at the same time, the fruits are more generally uniform.
You will be well pleased with our stock. Throughout
Florida, Southwest Texas and Southern Louisiana, thou-
sands of truckers demand our stock of this variety year
after year and they seldom fail to have the first and finest
squash on the Northern markets.

Prices: Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 34 lb., 30c; lb., $1.00,
5 lbs., $4.50, postpaid. Not prepaid 10-lb. lots cr over,

King of Denmark Spinach No.

condition from a week to two weeks after all other varieties are gone to seed. The plants are of rapid
growth, the numerous leaves are extra large, broad and rounded, exceedingly bush, slightly crumpled and
glossy dark green color. It is a vigorous grower. In the late spring when all other sorts have run to seed
it retains its dwarf habit and good eating qualities for a long time.

Prices: Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 34 lb., 30c; lb., 90c; 5 lbs., $3.75; postpaid. Not prepaid, 10-lb.

GENERAL DIRECTIONS to MY CUSTOMERS

By carefully observing the following directions,
mistakes and misunderstandings will be very largely
avoided:

HOW TO ORDER — Please be careful to sign your
Name, Post Office, Rural Route, and State on every
order. Be sure to tell us your nearest express office,
snould you desire the seed forwarded by express; if by
freight, your railroad station, also preferable routing;
or, if by boat, your landing, and the name of boat, if
possible. WRITE PLAINLY.

ORDER EARLY — It will greatly facilitate ship-
ments if orders are sent in early. We aim to ship all
orders the same day they are received, and our mail-
order department has a capacity for more than 1,500
orders daily, but sometimes it is impossible during the
rush season.

CASH WITH ORDER — Customers will please
remit when ordering. If goods are wanted O. O. D., 25
per cent, or one-fourth of the amount, must accompany
the order. No plants shipped C. O. D.

HOW TO SEND MONEY — Remittances should
be made by post office money orders, express money
orders, drafts or checks on New Orleans or New York.

Where it is not possible to obtain these, the letter should be registered. In all
cases where the order for seed amounts to one dollar or more, the cost of post
office or express money order, or cost of registering the letters from places that are
not money order offices, may be deducted'from the amount of the order.

STAMPS — On orders of seeds where the amount is less than 50 cents, we will
accept stamps in good condition (one and two-cent stamps preferred) the same as
cash, but we would ask those remitting stamps to wrap them in oiled paper, if
possible, to prevent their sticking together or to the order.

SEEDS POSTPAID BY PARCEL POST — Please bear in mind that the prices
given in this catalog include delivery on all seeds by packet, ounce, quarter-pound,
pound, two pounds, and five pound lots, unless otherwise specified.

Send us the amount named in this catalog, and we guarantee safe delivery by
postpaid parcel post in these quantities. This does not include pecks and
bushels.

PRICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE — This catalog is printed in October and
November and the market on many items of garden and field seeds has not yet

been established. Consequently prices on those item
indicate value at the time these pages are printed
Orders will be filled, if at all possible — at prices printed
in this booK, but ALL PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO
CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.

NON-WARRANTY — ■ Chris. Reuter does not
give, and his agents and employees are forbidden to
give any warranty, express or implied, as to description,
quality, productiveness, or any other matter of any
seeds, bulbs, plants, etc., he sends out and he will not
be any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser
does not accept the goods on these terms, they are to be
returned at once, and if the money has been paid
for them, it will be refunded. NO RESPONSIBLE
SEEDSMAN GIVES ANY WARRANTY.

This does not mean that we lack confidence in the
seeds we sell, but we have no control over the seeds
after they leave our hands. We cannot personally
direct the use of our goods after they leave our estab-
lishment; neither can we fully control anywhere or at
any time the operation of natural law 'as it affects
seed. Sometimes, though not often, our seeds do not
come up after planting. This may be due to one or
more of several reasons, such as covering too deeply
or not deeply enough, too much or too little water, too cold weather or a baking
sun which forms a crust too hard for the tender shoots to penetrate. Some-
times insects destroy plants at the surface before they are seen by the gardener.

TESTED SEEDS — We test all our seeds before sending them to our customers,
and should they fail to grow, if promptly and properly tested by customers, we
will replace the same amount or give value m others We cannot afford, know-
ingly, to send out seeds doubtful as to vitality or purity, and you cannot get any
better stocks of any seedsman, oven though he deceitfully professes to war-
rant seeds.

A guarantee from an irresponsible seedsman is of no value whatever. If
we should warrant or guarantee seeds in any way, we could be held respon-
siblefor theiailureof the crop, regardless of cause, and this is a responsibility
we can not and will not accept. Crops are dependent for success or failure
on so many things besides seed that it is impossible for us to give any warranty,
or guarantee.

ORDER EARLY

We have spent considerable money
in enlarging our Mail-Order Depart-
ments, increasing the capacity to
enable us to fill your order more
promptly than ever before. Our busi-
ness has increased tremendously and
far beyond our expectations, for
which we thank our 200,000 friends
and customers who plant Reuter’s
Seeds and Bulbs.

We Re-Clean and Test All Seed — ,Our Testing

— ___ — — Laboratory

and our Electric Cleaners are among the most interesting and important
departments of our establishment. Every pound of seed that comes
to us is tested and re-tested so that we may protect ourselves in pur-
chasing and, in turn, protect our customers. Our seeds are grown for
us, under contract, by the most reputable and experienced growers that
we know of, but to make it certain that our stocks are made up of only
high-germinating, true-to-type and name, we maintain this testing
laboratory. Every bag of seed that is delivered to us also must go
through our Cleaners so that no dirt, weed or obnoxious seeds, or other
foreign substance remains. When you order Reuter’s Seeds you may
feel assured that you are getting the very best obtainable anywhere,
of high-germination and thoroughly clean and productive. The care
and attention we give to our stocks has made our enviable reputation
possible.

Service to Customers We try to take a deep

— — - — interest in the planting

success of our patrons and endeavor to assist them in every possible !
way to make their crops productive and profitable. We are at all i
times glad to answer questions as to proper planting directions and
various other matters that come up in the growing of crops. Our big
book, “How To Grow, Pack and Ship Vegetables for Profit,” which
may be obtained free (see Order Blank), is acknowledged to be authen-
tic and is used in many of the Agricultural Schools and Universities.
Other free Bulletins are offered throughout this catalog, including
those on home gardening, the culture of flowers, planting of bulbs, etc.
We are not only anxious to supply our customers with the best of
seed and bulbs, but we want them to have successful gardens and
will do all we can to make them so. If there is anything we can
do in the way of service that you think will help you, please let us
know what it is.

Vegetable Seeds — The name of

— Reuter was first

made famous throughout the South because
of the superior vegetable seeds that we
distributed. We realized, when we first
began to supply seed to Market Gardeners
and Truckers, that only the highest class of
seed would serve these gardeners and it is on
that basis that we have developed this large
business. We take extraordinary precau-
tions to see that the various varieties of
Vegetable Seeds that we supply are true-to-
type, true-to-name, of high germination and
the kind that will produce uniform crops of
the highest marketable value. And this is
the kind of seed that we supply to all, whether
they be commercial gardeners or home
planters. We have developed a large number
of special strains of vegetables and you will
find these superior sorts fully described in
this catalog, particularly on the color pages
in the first eight and last eight pages of the
book. Read about these especially fine vari-
eties before writing out your order.

Field and Farm Seeds — °. .y. r

— . — ability

to supply the Southern farmer with high-grade
seeds of varieties that are thoroughly adapted
to the peculiar conditions of the South, is
becoming widely known and recognized. We
are as painstaking in contracting for the grow-
ing of our farm seeds as we are with garden
varieties. Only those growers who have
earned a reputation for developing and main-
taining superior types and varieties are per-
mitted to grow our field seeds and from plant-
ing to harvest everything is done that will
insure the kind of seed we are willing to put
our name behind. Every bag of seed is care-
fully re-cleaned, sent out in clean, new bags,
and with proper planting and weather con-
ditions can be expected to produce superior
crops. This kind of seed naturally costs more
than cheap, unclean, inferior seed, but it
more than pays for itself in the increased pro-
duction and higher grade of product. Cheap
seed, so-called, is always an expense — good
seed always an investment.

Flower Seeds and Bulbs — .

There is good reason for the tremendous i
increase in our Flower Seed and Bulb sales.
Southern people, on the farms, in the towns i
and cities, are fast learning of the exception-
ally high-grade seed and bulb stocks that are
available for them at Reuter’s. Our Flower j
Seed and Bulb Department is in the hands of
thoroughly capable men, who have devoted
their entire lives to the 3tudy, propagation,
developing and supplying of flowers. These
men know exactly how the seeds and bulbs
should be grown, and they see to it that our
growers send us exactly what we contract for
and then take the proper care of it after we
get it so that you — the customer — may have
just what you have a right to expect, the best
flower seeds and bulbs that can be obtained.
The production and supply of flower seeds
and bulbs calls for the most expert knowledge
and experience and we are glad that we have
succeeded in becoming one of the few high-
class distributers of these items in this country.

REUTER’S Green Pod
Bush or Bunch Beans

■RnoFi T? r,.-i tT'i'r*\n7 Bush beans are planted in our latitude (New Orleans) from

Dlio.il DcfillS MJ VjIUW the latter part of January until April 1; sometimes a little

later. February and March are the main spring planting months, sowing seed usually when danger of frost
is past. They are also planted again during August, September, and the first half of October. Buy enough
seed in the spring to plant again in t‘he fall.

Sow in long rows 2 to 3 feet apart, the plants about 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows. Sometimes five to
six beans are dropped to every 8 to 10 inches. Cover about 2 inches. Fine pods may be had from standard
varieties by making repeated plantings 10 to 15 days apart during the sowing season. It is more advisable
to make small plantings at intervals than sowing a large acreage at once. Keep soil well stirred and when
the blossoms appear, draw earth close around the plant. It requires about a pound of seed to sow a 100-foot
row. One bushel (60 lbs.) will sow an acre. Takes two to three months to produce a crop. Most early
varieties mature in 40 to 60 days. About 200 to 250 hampers of snap beans are usually produced on an acre.

Prir'AC— Beans are now sold by the pound. A pound is approximately a pint; 2 lbs., slightly
Dc<JH ± n 1CCS over a quart ; 5 lbs., about 2)4 quarts; 10 lbs., about 5 quarts; 15 lbs., equal to a peck,

variety that is hard to beat. This
sort is largely planted by truckers
and gardeners in Mississippi, Ala-
bama, Georgia and other southern
states for early shipment of snaps to
northern markets. The plants are
of medium size, erect, with dark
green leaves. The pods are of me-
dium length, about 4J4 inches long,
medium green color, curved, cylin-
drical, with crease in back, very
fleshy, crisp and tender. Where the
young plants have to contend with
adverse conditions, no other dwarf
bean is more certain than the Valen-
tines to set pods. There is great
difference between certain stocks of
Red Valentine beans. Be careful
when buying because large quantities
of low-priced Red Valentine beans, producing
flat, tough, unmarketable pods are being off-
ered in the South. Frankly, we know of no
stock of this splendid bean comparable with
what we offer in uniformly high quality of
pod, earliness and regularity of growth. If you

V[ Af. This famous snap bean is a prime favorite

1^1 ‘rU with thousands of truckers and gardeners
in the South and is also largely grown for canning purposes.

It is one of the finest green-pod bush beans in existence.

The pods are medium green, five to six inches long, cylin-
drical, larger than those of Red Valentine, but are quite
as fleshy of equal high quality and remain crisp and tender longer. This splendid
sort is extremely early and enormously productive. It is a bean of handsome
appearance that will sell readily on any market. The quality is truly superb.
The pods, even when fully grown, are meaty and juicy, lacking the faintest signs
of any strings. They are tender and brittle, of very fine texture and delicate flavor.

DRY OR SHELL
BEANS

White Mexican or
Prolific Tree Bean

ATy-. O') A wonderful produc-

tive white field bean.
It is not a green variety, but belongs
to the class of field beans, the seed of
which resembles the well-known
"Navy” bean. On account of its
snowy whiteness and its uniformly
small size, the White Mexican or
Prolific Tree Bean commands the
highest price in all markets. There
isn’t a single good reason why you
should buy white or navy beans at
the store for winter use, when plant-
ing anywhere from one to five
pounds of White Mexican beans will
give you an ample supply. You can
just as easily grow these beans for
yourself and you’ll find this superb
sort entirely satisfactory for this pur-
pose. Plants of erect growth, hold-
ing pods well up off the ground, al-
though in seasons with plenty of
rain there is a tendency to throw
some runners. Ordinarily, plants
grow 20 to 24 inches high, branch-
ing in all directions. Plant in rows
about 2 feet apart, leaving single
plants 6 to 8 inches apart in the row.
Can be used either as a snap or dry as a shell bean.
Thirty pounds will plant an acre.

introduction that has made

which average 6 inches long, are flat, thick and
meaty. The plants are very thrifty and hardy,
resisting blight admirably. Matures its crop in

Reuter’s Kentucky Wonder or Old
Homestead Pole Beans

POLE OR RUNNING BEANS

Although pole beans require considerable care and labor, they are, when properly grown,
usually of longer bearing period than the dwarf sorts and are generally more productive.

Pole beans are even more sensitive to cold and wet than the dwarf varieties, hut are of
superior quality and productiveness. Plant in hills, two to five feet apart. Plant three
to four beans to eveiy hill.

X? i -tf- p,** ^ o 1 A^7 This superb pole bean is offered

iveuier S lueai iViarKet 1MO. 4/ to my many out-of-town customer

for the past two seasons. For more than four years we have sold this variety to local
truckers and market gardeners. They acknowledge it to be the best pole bean in existence.
It took us four years to get even a sufficient quantity of seed to take caie of our local truck-
er’s demand. This bean has proved to be very thrifty and extremely prolific.. It yields
better than all other varieties of pole beans, and even better than most varieties of com-
mercial beans. It’s truly a grand green podded snap pole bean. A marvel of productive-
ness. Thick, stringless pods, meaty, tender and delicious. Is perfectly round. It is fully
ten days to two weeks earlier than' any other green-podded pole bean, and can be planted
fully a week to ten days earlier in the spring because of its extreme hardiness and robust
characteristics. First pickings are just a trifle behind bush beans planted at the same time.
The pods hang in great clusters. Note illustration. From the top to the bottom of the

completely rounded, distinctly crease-backed; very fleshy and of excellent quality. It you
want a bean for planting in corn, this is certainly the variety you can plant with every
assurance that it will give you exactly the kind of results you are looking for. There are
many so-called cornfield beans. We have tested them all, and can frankly say that none
of them can compare with the genuine stock we offer you this year. Prices: Pkt. (3 full

splendid variety. It is early maturing, green-podded, white seeded, desirable for “snaps"
and unsurpassed in its class for dry shell beans for winter use. The pods are round, very
long, often 8 to 10 inches, irregular in shape and quite stringless. For planting with corn,
this sort is hard to beat. A heavy and long bearer of finely flavored, good sized, meaty
green pods. Prices: Pkt. (3 full ounces), 10c; y lb., 25c; lb., 50c; 2 lbs., 90c.; 6 lbs.,

early, very productive sort, with showy pods which are of most excellent quality. The
vines are vigorous, climbing well and very productive, bearing pods in large clusters. The
pods are green, round, meaty, tender, practically stringless and grow 6 to 12 inches long.
Immensely productive, a peck having often been picked from a single vine, our illustration

thoroughbred of its class. It is a dwarf,
compact grower, allowing close plant-

growth, attractive in appearance, free
from any coarseness, and of splendid
quality. Practically every plant will
form a very large, solid head and
mature earlier than any variety of equal
size. It is highly suitable for every
growing season. For fall and early
spring planting it is unexcelled. The
plants are short-stemmed, compact, and
upright with comparatively few and
short leaves. The heads are large for
the size of the plant, nearly round and
somewhat flattened, close, firm and very

■vr^ O') A dark blue-green, hard

I’ll* headed, medium sized

cabbage that has captured the approval
of nearly every big commercial trucker
in Southwest Texas and along the Gulf
Coast. The plants are rather upright,
allowing closer planting than the late flat
Dutch types; stems rather short. The heads are large, broad, thick, and somewhat
flattened, compact, very solid, and of exceptional quality. For sureness in
heading and regularity in growth, this variety heads the list, and its adaptability
to soils and climates is the dominating feature so conspicuously responsible for
its great popularity. Reuter’s Monster Surehead will discount any other flat-
head type of cabbage and excel it in earliness, hardness and size.

Not prepaid, 10-lb. lots or over, at $2.50 per lb.

Pe-Tsai or Chinese
Cabbage No. 82—

straight short-leaved, which we import
direct from Northern China. It makes
a solid head, with few outer leaves, and
is the most desirable type to plant.
Grows very quickly, being ready to eat
in 60 days. The seed should not be sown
during hot weather. Start the plants in
a bed and transplant to about 15 inches
apart in the row. It is very palatable if
boiled like cabbage, but must be cooked
quickly.

SEEDS FOR THE SOUTH

Orders will be shipped approximately three to five days after arrival, weather conditions per-
mitting. If plants do not arrive as soon as you expect them, you may know that conditions beyond
our control are responsible for the delay. Unnecessary correspondence and complaints do not
alter weather conditions, but add extra expense and trouble to us and to you.

REUTER’S FROSTPROOF CABBAGE PLANTS

We are having grown for us in certain favored sections of Louisiana many mil-
lion Frostproof Cabbage Plants. The plants make a slow but steady growth,
until at eight to ten weeks of age they are very tough and hardy, the buds are purple
and the outer leaves a reddish-brown. When in this condition they can be shipped
to territory further North and planted in the open ground a month to six weeks
sooner than the home-grown hot bed or cold frame plants.

Plants usually withstand the cold winter, say at least six winters out of eight,
in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. In other territories, February
and March are best months to plant. The word "frostproof” does not mean
"freeze-proof.” However, you will be surprised at the amount of freezing weather
the plants will stand. A temperature of 20 degrees above zero with sleet and snow
seldom hurts them. Under favorable conditions, they stand it down to 13 above
zero.

To obtain the advantage of these Frostproof Cabbage Plants they must be
planted a month or six weeks earlier than you would plant home grown plants.

The plants when received will be somewhat wilted and
have a hard, stunted appearance, which will be disappoint-
ing to persons who have never used these plants before.

Regardless of appearance, they will produce splendid crop
results. When we receive your order, we have to forward it
to our growing station, and this requires several days. Plants
are shipped direct to you from the growing station. Plants
cannot be pulled or shipped when beds are wet. At times
a week or ten days of continued wet weather will prevent
shipment of plants. If you do not receive your plants as
soon as you expect them, you will know that weather pre-
vents shipment. Send your order two to three weeks before
you expect to set the plants and you will get them on time.

If the plants cannot be set out the same day they are received,
take them from the crate immediately, dip the roots in water
and heel out into the ground, spreading the bunches a little.

In no case should they be left in the crate.

Varieties: Early Jersey Wakefield, Charleston Wakefield, Succession,
and Stein’s Early Flat Dutch and Copenhagen Market.

We will fill orders from November 15th to May 1st. Remittances must
accompany all orders. No plants shipped open account or C. O. D. Please do
not ask us to break this very necessary rule.

Prices by Parcel Post: In lots of 100,
200, 300, or 400 plants, at 50c per 100 plants;
600 plants for $1.60; 1,000 or more at $3.00 per
1,000 plants, postpaid.

Orders are filled by the 100, not 250 or 350.
These prices are for even quantities of one variety
to a package; if you ordered 200 of one variety
and 300 of another variety, you would remit at
the 100 rate.

Prices by Express: Customer paying ex-
press charges. In lots of 1,000
to 3,000 plants at $2.00 per
1,000; 5,000 or more at $1.50

express shipment, 1,000 or
2,000 plants of a variety to
a package, weight about 25
lbs. per 1,000 plants, packed
for shipment.

Truckers and market
gardeners should write or
wire us for prices on Cab-
bage plants in larger quan-
tities.

We advise shipment by Par-
cel Post. Plants are shipped direct
from our Louisiana growing
station , separate from seed orders.

VIT AMINES IN
CABBAGE

Recent investigations have
shown Cabbage to be rich in
vitamines and as a result of
a national campaign to pro-
mote the eating of Cabbage,
which has been endorsed by
many prominent physicians,
Cabbage sales are increasing
by leaps and bounds. It has
been proven that Cabbage is
a great aid to digestion and
people are demanding Cab-
bage as never before.

Peerless Snowball Cauliflower

Reuter’s Cauliflower

Cauliflower is an exacting crop, but success is easy where the conditions are
right. This plant likes to make quick growth in cool weather. Sow in seed beds
in the same manner as cabbage. Transplant when 4 to 5 inches high and give an
abundance of water in dry weather; then apply regularly nitrate of soda or liquid
manure. To bleach the heads, tie up the leaves over them.

/^ipT p'T> V Culture — The seed in our latitude is usually sown during June and July, and then

'-'‘Jl'J-'J-'JA. 1 again during the fall months. Sow the seed in a seed bed, covered with burlap,
canvas or cheesecloth, to prevent the sun from injuring the young seedlings. As soon as the plants
are about 2 inches high transplant to another seed bed to make them stocky. Cover the seed with a
very little soil and firm well. Keep the seed bed moist to insure quick germination and vigorous growth.
The plants should be ready to set out in October when planted during June and July. When ready
for the garden, set the plants 6 to 8 inches apart in rows 3 to 4 feet apart. Work up the soil between
the rows and draw it around the plants from time to time until the plants are covered to their very tips,
and they will be ready for use soon after. Count on about 400 plants to the packet of seed; 3,000 to
the ounce. One-third of an ounce to 100-foot of drill. Requires four to five months to produce the crop.

several sowings about two weeks apart, so you will have a succession crop. Cultivate frequently. Thin two to six
inches apart in the row, according to the size of the variety. Sow one ounce of seed to 100 feet of row.

sweet corn having all of the good qualities of the Golden Bantam, together with a larger
ear and having about the same maturing season. Planted beside the Golden Bantam,
it was found more vigorous, productive and as early as the Bantam, having the marked
advantage of having much larger ears set up higher on the stalk. The stalks grow from
5 to 6 feet in height and have ears 8 to 10 inches in length, filled with eight rows of rich
golden colored kernels. It is a variety that will appeal to the home gardener as well as
the canner who has been looking for a Bantam corn that will produce more tonnage
per acre and at the same time not sacrifice its high quality. Our supply of seed is
limited. Order early and try out this grand, new variety

and what it lacks in size is more than made up by its other grand qualities. The ears
are from six to seven inches long, eight rowed, filled with broad, sweet, golden yellow

another splendid variety. Average height of stalk about five feet. The ear is thick,
well grained to the end of the cob, rows of grain straight and uniform. When cut
green for market the ears average from 12 to 14 inches in length. It is only a few
days later than the Adams Early in cutting, and being a large ear, commands the highest
price in the market. This corn has sold in the New York markets for $8.00 per 100
ears, wholesale. In eating, this corn is slightly sweet, resembling sugar corn in taste.
It is very productive, producing two and often three good ears to the stalk. Being
hardy, can be planted at same time as Adams Early, as it will stand a great deal of
cold and wet weather.

Reuter’s Selected Shelled Pop Corn For Seed —

Pop Corn is a very profitable crop, yields well even in unfavorable weather and
there is always a good market for it. Plant at the rate of 12 pounds to the acre,
in drills 3 feet apart, dropping seed 1J4 feet apart in the rows; or plant in hills,
using 5 to 8 lbs. per acre. Cultivate the same as field corn. It matures
early and can be fed with profit to young stock, especially pigs, calves, etc. It
yields fully as much fodder as the best field corn;

in shelled corn it yields nearly, if not quite as

much as some field corn.

supply of this profitable truckers’ variety from the
same, careful, painstaking growers. These growers
have devoted many years to perfect it by careful
re-selection of the finest specimens. We recommend it
as one of the best strains in existence, and it is one
of the finest cucumbers for slicing and one of the best
for pickling. A true evergreen variety. A great yielder.
as well as the home garden.

Improved Long Green No. 217— JehAhifLmVis grown

expressly for us by one of the most responsible seed growers in this country, and
can be depended upon to produce a crop absolutely uniform in every respect
The vines are very vigorous and productive. The fruits are very long, often
twelve to fifteen inches when mature. They are uniformly slender and of a beauti-
ful green color. The large warts and spines are well distributed over the surface
instead of being clustered at one end as in inferior stocks. The variety furnishes
some fruits early but matures the bulk of its crop rather late. This is a standard
sort for slicing and is very largely used for pickles. The fruits often used for
making sweet pickles. This is probably the most extensively used cucumber for
the home garden and market. We have given this variety special attention for
many years and really believe the stock we offer has no equal. Matures in about
65 days.

'Yy\ Our special strain of this wonderful white

spine cucumber is unexcelled. A medium
early cucumber of handsome, intensely dark green
color, and of excellent quality for slicing. The vines
are very hardy and prolific. The mature fruits are
often about 8 inches long, 2 to 2)4 inches in diameter,
and are uniform in size and shape. The glossy green
color is retained much longer and is affected less by
the hot sun than any other sort with which we are
familiar. Its uniform size and shape and splendid
color are making this sort very popular as a shipping
cucumber with thousands of truckers throughout the
South. Matures in 55 to 60 days. The seed we offer
of this variety is grown expressly for us in the far

Lettuce is the best of all salad crops, and a very appetizing and healthful food, especially during the warmer months. To have lettuce
at its best it must be fresh and unwilted. It is so easy to grow and requires such small space in the garden, that every family should have a
plentiful supply throughout the season.

dry weather, and is slow to run to seed. The outer leaves are attractive deep
green, broad, frilled at edges. It is the variety so largely grown in California ana

REUTER’S Unexcelled Cantaloupe Seed

Culture

Melons thrive best in
‘ light, rich soil. Plant
just as soon as the ground is warm, in
hills 4 to 6 feet apart, according to the
variety; in each hill apply a shovel-
ful of well-rotted ma-
nure, or a handful of com-
mercial fertilizer, well mixed
with the soil. Plant about
12 seeds to each hill, cover-
ing with about, 1 inch of fine
soil firmly pressed down.

When the plants are pretty
well developed, keep the
hoe and cultivator going.

Gradually thin out to two
plants to the hill. When
the vines begin to run freely,
stop cultivation, except
after a heavy rain. A few
hills for early use may be
had by sowing in the dirt
bands in the hot bed, an 1
when warm enough trans-
plant to open ground.

Melon vines are subject to
the same destructive in-
sects and fungus foes as are
cucumber ana squash vines.

Early and repeated spraying
with Pyrox, Arsenate of Lead, Black Leaf 40, Bordeaux Mixture, or any other good
spray material will help wonderfully. See page 47 for our assortment of insecti-
cides. Use a packet to about 15 hills; 1 ounce to 60 hills; 2 or 3 pounds to the acre.

cross between the Texas Cannon Ball Cantaloupe and the Honey Dew Casaba
Melon, was but recently originated by W. H. Parker, a noted commercial melon
grower of Tarrant County, Texas, and has already become fairly established in
the markets of the country. It is hardier than the Honey Dew, more prolific,
averages about five inches in diameter and is round instead of oval. While larger
than the average Rockyford type of cantaloupe, it has far less netting. It has the
succulent flavor of the Honey Dew and the sweetness of the Cannon Ball. The
green meat is similar in texture to the Honey Dew, about 1 j-2 inches thick, and
covered by a smooth, thin rind, fairly well netted. It will ship to all parts of the
country without icing and sell at a premium, and it may be cut and kept for several
weeks and be in perfect eating condition. Ordinary handling will not bruise it.
Earlier than the Honey Dew and about a week later than the Rockyford. Greenish-
white in color until fully ripe, then turns crsamy-white. Extremely prolific. Packs
12 to the crate nicely. Try it.

A splendid type of the green fleshed
Rockyford. This melon, however, had
a gold lining next to the
seed cavity making it unus-
ually attractive when cut.
It is medium early in matur-
ing, but for a main crop
variety it is unexcelled. The
flesh is very thick, sweet and
spicy, while the shape is
round with a complete
covering of netting and no
ribs. This type of canta-
loupe is now shipped east
from Colorado and the Im-
perial Valley, California, in
quantities of over 10,000
cars yearly. It is a highly
rust - resistant sort and
yields heavily. Our seed is
obtained from crown-cut
fruits only. It is a highly

result of many years of
selection, development, and
breeding on the part of our
grower. You can rely upon our special stock to meet the most exacting require-

at top of this page. It is the only melon used to any great extent in the
shipping districts of Colorado and California. It is a pink meated cantaloupe
and by all odds the most successful of any introduction of the Rockyford
types. The fruits are extremely uniform, heavily netted with no trace of ribs,
and the vines are rust-resistant. It is fairly early and its long distance shipping
qualities are surpassed by no other melon. The melon cuts with a golden center,
generally shading out to emerald green near the rind. Pollock 10-25 suits the
commercial grower, for it produces abundantly of even, well-sized, netted melons
which pack evenly and get on the market as early as other similar sorts. So
uniform are they that if decently picked there is scarcely a cull left as waste. You
can bank on this sort. It is unquestionably the finest Rockyford melon introduced
in many years. The seed we offer you is saved from crown cut fruits only. You
can purchase seed of this variety for less money, but I challenge anyone to furnish
a better strain, a finer selection, or a stock that will produce as uniform a crop as
you can grow from our extra selected stock. This special strain meets the require-
ments of the ultra-critical planter in his most extensive operations.

Wonder Cantaloupe to know exactly what it is like. It's a big, almost round melon,
usually heavily netted. Melons weigh from 4 to 6 pounds, but good growers pick
them up to 8 to 10 pounds, and even 12 to 14 pounds. The flesh is salmon colored
and exceedingly sweet and luscious. It is an extra early sort, coming in ahead of the
well-known Rockyford types. It is not tough enough to be a long distance shipper.
It keeps a few days in good shape but must be handled with care. This, however,
is not serious for the home gardener or for marketing in local or nearby markets.
During the peak of the ripening season, these melons should be picked every day,
for the reason that they ripen so fast at that time. When once over ripe, they have
lost their one-time best and finest flavor. It is a shy seeder. This is a splendid new
muskmelon and should be included in your order without fail. Seed supply limited.

Money iiew 1MO. 115 prices in all markets. It is perfectly

adapted to the South, and has been successfully grown in all the Southern
States during the past two years. The average size of the melon is 6 inches
in diameter from top to bottom and 7 to 8 inches long. The flesh is an
emerald green, very thick, melting and fine grained; can be eaten to the
extreme rind. The seed cavity is very small ; the rind, though
thin , is very tough and so close that the excellent flesh is prac-
tically sealed up where it keeps in fine condition for several
weeks after they are ripe. The melon does not shrink in
weight, is not easily bruised, and is a splendid shipper. It
matures about two weeks later than the Rockyford strains.

It is medium in size, 5 to 6 pounds. It is ready to eat in a few
days when it is slightly soft. Plant it in your home garden.

The Watermelon Seed Collections that are offered on this page have been the
means of making Reuter the largest retail mail order distributor of Watermelon
Seeds in this country. We make that statement advisedly. The purpose, many
years ago, in first offering bargain assortments of Watermelon Seeds, was to
induce our customers to try our melon seeds. We knew they were the finest that
could be obtained and we knew that if we could induce gardeners to try them
once, we could depend upon their continued business. We were right — because
our seeds were right! Many of the large com-
mercial melon growers of the South first began
growing Watermelons by ordering one of
the several Collections that you’ll find
on this page. The Collection offered
an excellent opportunity to try out
Reuter’s Watermelon Seeds, without
spending a lot of money, and the re-
sults were so excellent these growers
naturally developed into larger acre-
age. They found that good seed
produced paying crops of uniform,
marketable melons. Home gardeners
have found that one or more of these
Collections just fits into their re-
quirements and provides just enough
seed, of several varieties, to keep
their home table well supplied with
as fine Watermelons as any one ever
ate. You have a choice of three Col-
lections, each containing six varie-
ties of dependable, high-grade,
good eating melons. Be sure to in-
clude one or more in your order.

you see in the field are representative specimens of those from which this season’s

the very best watermelon that you can grow, be sure to order Reuter’s Wonder-
melon and send your order early for my seed supply has been sold out every year
before planting time comes. The Wondermelon has the most delicious flavor, one
that brings customers back again and again. The rind is thin, but tough, insuring
safe shipment for reasonable distance. The rich, red meat is full of flavor right
up to the rind and does not show hollow. Seeds are large, pure white and few to
the melon. It is large and long, resembling the Tom Watson, though is it thicker,
and the color is dark, solid green that makes it mighty attractive in the markets.

WHAT A CHAMPION MELON GROWER SAYS: E. E. Shaw, Perth,
Miss., described by the Editor of “The Fayette (Miss.) Chronicle,” as a “champion
melon grower,” writes us under date of Sept. 30, 1924: “I have planted your
Wondermelon for a number of years along with other ‘so-called good melons,’ and
I can truthfully make the assertion that there are only two melons — ‘The Wonder’
and all the others! I have sold from one-half acre, since July 4, $235.00 worth of
melons and am still eating and selling from the patch. They are very prolific and
drouth resistant. The plowman’s tracks are still in the middle of the rows since
they were plowed the last time. We have had the longest drouth within the
memory of oldest inhabitants.” You can obtain the real, original genuine Wonder-
melon seed only from Reuter so order direct and order early. Let this remarkable

W atermelon No. 618

Here's a brand new watermelon that I believe
will revolutionize the watermelon shipping
business and make increased profits for com-
mercial melon growers. Take another look
at the picture at the top of this page and then
study the picture at the lower right hand
corner and ask yourself what such a melon
will mean to the markets of this country.
The picture at the top of the page shows the
greater portion of the product of four acres,
just after they were piled for our inspection.
The seed I am offering this year came from
these particular melons. The melon shown
at the bottom of page weighed 63 pounds. It
was photographed here at my store and was
in tip-top condition after long shipment.

Reuter’s ftcutur
Watermelon

Reuter’s ftcutur Watermelon

is long and
thick in

shape, measuring from 26 to 28 inches long by 15 to 18 inches in diameter. The
rind is a dark green, indistinctly striped with mingled lighter green. The young
melons will show distinct stripes but as
they develop and ripen the stripe practically
fades away, leaving a glossy green color.

The rind is medium thick, just enough
so to insure long keeping and rough
usage during shipping. It is practically
impossible to penetrate it under
conditions and it is so woven together, like
leather, that it is hard to pull apart or break
even after it is fully ripe. It will
rough handling and will not easily decay.

The meat is red and sweet, entirely free
from hard centers or stringy flesh, and will
slice half an inch thick and not break when
fully ripe. It grows remarkably large, as
the photographs show, and is very prolific.

I have never seen any melon grow such
large, uniform melons of such high quality.

It will ship in first-class condition to the
most distant markets and will sell on sight.

The seed cavity is small and the seed large.

Judging from the fields that I inspected
last season, a favorable year, the Radio will
produce a carload of 40-pound melons to
the acre and every melon a good one. It
will sell just as readily as a local market
melon and yet always make good in the
distant markets,

is the very mel-
on that com-
mercial growers and shippers have been
wanting and no melon grower should
hesitate to plant it this year. Those who
begin now will reap the early profits and
establish an enviable reputation for produc-
ing the unusual. Mr. C. P. Capps, First
Vice-President of the Seaboard Air Line
Railways, says this about the Radio: “It
is unquestionably the finest melon I have
ever leaten. I believe this is going to be a
great thing for the melon grower.” An
expert marketing official, whose position
does not permit him to be quoted, says:
“In my opinion, it is superior to any of the
other commercially grown varieties coming
under my observation, in size, conforma-
tion, and, especially, in flavor. The yield
is better.” I own this remarkable watermelon and you can obtain its seed from no
other source. Don’t hesitate a moment in planting it this year. Supply is limited
and, in fairness to all, I can send no more than one pound to a customer.

Reuter’s New Schochler Watermelon

Reuter’s New Schochler Watermelon

NTo 1 7 Here is a melon that will “take you off your feet’’

VJi/ for size and quality. Bred and perfected by J. Palmer
Schochler, of Rusk, Texas, an experienced commercial melon grower.
I have purchased the originator’s entire seed supply for a period of
years and am anxious that every commercial watermelon grower cus-
tomer of mine give this new “find” a trial this year. It is a long,
thick melon, as you can plainly see in the picture. The melon photo-
graphed weighed 63 pounds after shipment from Mr. Schoc.hler’s Texas
farm. Note the relatively thin rind, yet it is extremely tough and will
stand long shipment and ordinary handling. Its size is its great feature,
carload after carload averaging 46 to 48 pounds and market trucks averag-
ing 70 to 85 pounds to the melon, ac-
cording to authoritive advices from
growing and shipping points. Its meat
is a dark red, fine grained, with no
white parts, and those who were lucky
enough to have had a “sample” when
the melon in the picture was eaten,
can vouch for its being as finely flav-
ored as any watermelon that grows.

The melon is a rich dark green, with
a faint, practically invisible stripe.

While not a prolific melon, in the
usual sense of the word, having about
only four melons to the vine, the total
product of a single vine, because of
the uniformly immense size of the
melons, more than offsets this lack.

It is a remarkable drouth resister and
never fails to produce a second crop
from the same hills, these second crop
melons averaging 25 to 35 pounds each.

Mr. R. B. Parks, a melon grower
who lives near Mr. Schochler, tells me
that he has planted the “Schochler”
for the past two years and has “grown

them to weigh as high as 105 pounds. There is no melon that will*
equal this one in size and quality.” From fifty to seventy-five cars of
this melon was shipped this past season from Rusk, according to “The
Packer.” It is an extra good “eater” and will ship to any market. I
thoroughly investigated the merits of this remarkable watermelon be-
fore I purchased control of it and I have no hesitancy in urging every
market and commercial melon grower to include it in his acreage this
year. The markets will “eat it up” and it is certain to bring premium
prices and sure profits. Originator’s pure bred seed only. Supply
is very limited and I will sell but one pound to a customer.

Prices: Pkt., 20c; oz., 60c; lb., $1.60; 34 lb., $2.76; lb.,

Reuter’s New Perfection Watermelon

Reuter’s New Perfection Watermelon

NTo (fill ^ We were the original introducers of this melon two

J.^1 \j JL years ago and reports we have had from those who
planted it have backed up every claim we made for it. It has proved
to be another remarkable watermelon that Reuter has been fortu-
nate in first offering to particular melon growers. This grand new
variety was originated by Mr. Halbert, whose fame as a breeder and
producer of extra fine varieties of watermelons is well known every-
where in the South. Heretofore it has been necessary to grow two
classes of watermelons — one for shipping purposes with a thick or

tough rind and coarse, inferior flesh, the other with a very tender,
brittle rind and sweet, tender flesh. After many years of careful breed-
ing, Mr. Halbert has succeeded in combining these two important
and salient features into one melon, and has created a variety of
tremendous commercial importance.

Reuter’s New Perfection Watermelon belongs to the large type of
melons and will grow to sizes of 50 pounds to 75 pounds. It is oval or
oblong in shape. The rind is a dark, glossy green in color, thin, but
very tough and resistant to knocks and pressure: no ordinary fist can
burst it and a two hundred pound man can stand on and jump off one
of these melons and not crack or crush the rind. This tough, imper-
vious rind will keep the flesh good and fresh
for a week or ten days after it ripens and a fall
grown melon can be put upland kept to Jan-
uary of the next year. This important quality
of the rind prolongs the marketing period be-
yond that of any ordinary melon. Reuter’sNew
Perfection Watermelon ripens about the aver-
age date of most melons, not a real early vari-
ety, yet not a late variety. The meat or flesh
of this splendid commercial variety is of a dark
red color, very sweet and free from fiber or
strings.

The seed are large, white in color with black
tips and many seed have black blotches on the
sides to full black sides with only white rim. It
is an ideal melon for both home and market
purposes. Its beautiful shape and grand color
will attract attention and help sell it on any
market. Once sold to a customer, its sweet-
ness and fine flavor will retain him as a patron.

Reuter’s Extra Selected Tom Watson Water -

mpl rvn This is a special unwashed stock seed produced from

* extra selected, superior melons that are grown in

isolated sections. Every melon with the slightest defect, whether it be off-color,
unripe heart, is cast aside and only the choicest, hand selected seed is permitted in
this lot. No melon weighing less than 30 to 40 pounds is cut and the seed is
cleaned by a process that does not permit it to come in contact with water. This
insures the highest germination. Naturally, the supply of this particular grade
of seed is limited and it is offered only to those critical growers who seek, and are
willing to pay for, an unusual product.

Prices: Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 34 lb., 60c; lb., $1.50; 6 lbs., $7.00, postpaid.

rich red and is exceedingly sweet. The variety is so crisp and tender that it will
not stand shipping. We obtain our seed direct from Mr. Kleckley, the originator
of this famous melon. He has grown these melons expressly for seed purposes
for 32 years and has never had them mixed with any other. Do not confuse ordin-

new variety that has appeared on northern markets

by Mr. C. A. Thurmond, a well-known grower of fancy
melons in Georgia. It is a good producer, stands wet
weather well, and so far has not been subject to the
diseases that have damaged other melons. Its quality
and attractiveness have made it an excellent market
melon, and high prices have been secured for the
Thurmond Gray. The new melon is long and thick.

The rind is of a rich greenish gray color, which makes
it very hard to sunburn. It is wilt-resistant. It is
very uniform in its growth, being the same size at each
end and makes the most perfect car pack of any of the
varieties. It will weigh from 25 to 75 pounds. It has
every quality necessary for perfect shipping on long or
short hauls which is a sure guarantee of a profitable
price. Mr. Thurmond has specialized in this variety
for 40 years and in not a single instance has he failed
to make a fine crop. It is almost sure to become one
of the leading varieties for commercial purposes, as
it is an ideal shipper. We offer Originator’s Pure-

The average melons weigh from 40 to 50 pounds, and as high as 75 pounds, and
usually measure 28 to 30 inches long, and 12 to 14 inches in diameter. The skin is
a dark green with thick netting all over, quite distinct from other sorts. It is

the sweetest of all melons. In quality, the original
Halbert’s Honey which is the identical stock we offer

peculiar to itself. Entirely devoid of all fibrous sub-
stances, the sweet flesh melts away in the mouth like
so much honey, even after the largest bite of “heart".

This is surely a sweet melon, and its delicious crimson
red flesh extends nearly to the skin, the rind being
very thin and brittle. The melon is long in shape and
blunt at each end, and the dark green skin makes it
very attractive. The hardy vines are remarkably pro-
lific. The crop covers the ground, and it is not un-
common to see four or five melons growing in a heap
together, one on top of the other. It is quite early,
a good feature for the commercial grower. The flesh
is tender and luscious, extra sweet. The rind is not
tough or thick enough for long distance shipping, but
this is a prime favorite for local markets and home use.

In good soil, will yield melons weighing 50 to 75 pounds.

Every pound of this truly grand variety is obtained
direct from Mr. Halbert, the originator, introducer,
and propagator of this superb variety. Mr. Halbert's
pure-bred seed is not to be compared with ordinary

REUTER’S ONION SEED AND ONION SETS

You will find all of the standard varieties that are adapted to the South fully described on this page, and the famous
Bermuda varieties are illustrated in color and described on page 4. Onions are one of the important vegetables and are
highly prized for their tonic qualities. Keep your digestive system in good working order — Eat more Onions!

Culture: Onions thrive best in a deep, rich, fertile soil. Plant the seed or sets as early as possible in the spring.
The ground should be thoroughly worked, well fertilized, and well pulverized. The only advantage in planting sets
is to secure early onions, for better shaped and keeping onions are obtained from planting the seed. One ounce to
200 feet of drill; 4 pounds to the acre. Onions from seed will mature in about 130-140 days, from sets
in from 100-110 days.

REUTER’S PEERLESS GARDEN SEED PEAS

Pllltlirp The extra early, round-seeded sorts, such as Reuter’s Peerless

\JU11U1C Extra Early, Early Alaska, Prolific Early Market, etc., can be
planted very early, as it takes a hard freeze to kill them. In our latitude, spring
plantings usually begin in late December or early January, and continue until
about the first of March. The wrinkled varieties, such as Gradus, World's Record,
Thomas Laxton, Telephone, etc , are more sensitive to cold wet weather than the
smooth seeded sorts, but are of superior quality. The wrinkled varieties must
not be planted until the ground begins to warm up. Usually, wrinkled peas rot
without germinating in cold ground. In Florida, Southwest Texas, and along
the Gulf Coast, all varieties can be planted throughout the winter and early spring
months. In the Central South, none of the wrinkled varieties should be planted
until March. Two pounds of seed to every 100 feet of row and cover about 1 to 2
inches. Be sure to make succession sowings every two weeks to keep up your
supply until the long bearing varieties come in. Plant in double rows 6 to 8 inches
apart and 2J£ to 4 feet between the double rows. All varieties growing more than
2 feet do better if staked up or brushed when 4 to 6 inches high. Keep working
the soil up around the stems and all varieties will stay in bearing longer. For
market gardening purposes, it requires about 1 )4 to \% bushels to sow an acre.

productiveness, large-sized pods and sweetness of flavor are desired, it is the best
variety you can possibly plant. It may be truly called the world’s unbeatable
extra early pea, for it is far superior to anything ever introduced in the South.

It has become the main reliance of thousands of truckers in the South who wish to be
first with new peas. It is a smooth sort, with wonderful ability to mature quickly.

It is absolutely unsurpassed in extra-early qualities, in flavor, and in size of pod
and productiveness in vigor and regularity of growth, and in genuine merit.

Every seedsman in this country claims to sell the “earliest” pea, but, after testing
them all, I know positively that not one excels this celebrated strain, either in

quality, quantity or earliness. You make no mistake when you plant this sort. It is a round-seeded pea that will grow and mature quicker than any other. It is abso-
lutely free from runners, and the entire crop can be taken off in two pickings. The vines average about 2)4 to 3 feet in height, just short enough to bear a large crop.

_A very early wrinkled variety of great
merit. The vines are vigorous, of
medium height, about 3 feet, similar to those of Gradus, but darker in color, hardier
and more productive. The pods are large, often 4 inches long, with square ends,
similar to, but larger, longer and darker than those of Champion of England, and as
uniformly well filled. The green peas are very large, of fine, deep color and unsur-
passed in quality. This grand pea was originated by crossing Gradus with a very
early seedling. It is claimed to be earlier, hardier in constitution, and more prolific
than most of the large-podded peas. For either home use or market it is unsurpassed.

bears pods much larger than any other variety, often 6 or 7 inches long and 1 34 inches

contain so much sugar, starch and gluten; are very nutritious for family use. Grows
quite tall 5 to- 6 feet and requires support. This fine edible podded pea deserves a place
in your thrift garden. They are used in the same way as the snap or string bean, not
being shelled. I am urging you to plant some of these splendid sugar peas, for it is the
choicest of all table varieties, the pods are stringless and in flavor, brittleness and suc-
culence are unexcelled. The pods
are sometimes sliced for cooking be-
cause of their size and may be served

PEPPER SEED

/-'i Peppers are most largely used for seasoning meat and vegetable dishes as

UUllUrc weil ag f0r salads and mangoes. They are used also for making chow-chow
and chili sauce. The culture is about the same as eggplants, and the plants need quite as much
heat to perfect them. Sow the seed early in hotbeds during December and January or about
the middle of spring, usually during March and April, in open seed bed, the soil being light and
warm. When 3 to 4 inches high, transplant in rows about feet apart and 2 feet apart in
the row. Cultivate and keep free from weeds. Sow in June and July for a fall shipping crop.
For insects spray with Arsenate of Lead or Bowker’s Pyrox. One packet of seed will produce
about 100 plants; 1 oz., about 1,500 plants; y lb. to the acre.

Bliss Red Triumph — £ost

valuable early potato for the South. It’s an
extra-early, and with our Northern-grown
Seed Stock it’s the surest and most depend-
able producer of all sorts, while its hand-
some appearance when first dug makes it
a ready seller at top prices on any market.
It withstands heat and drouth to a won-
derful degree, and makes 1 a good crop
when other sorts burn and make nothing.
Vines are smaller than other varieties, the
strength of the. plant going into making
the potatoes rather than into the vine. Ma-
tures in nine to ten weeks from planting.

Nebraska Grown Seed.

The United States Department of Agriculture, in one of its bulletins devoted to
the production of Irish Potatoes, says: “High-grade seed stock must be used if a
large crop is to be harvested. Every effort should be made to secure high-yielding
seed stock.” No better advice could be given to the potato planters of the South,
and it would be a blessing if more of them would pay attention to it, for there is no
other section of the country where more of the ordinary seed potatoes are sown
every spring. Throughout the South brokers, warehousemen, wholesale grocers,
feed merchants, etc., annually dispose of thousands of bushels of so-called seed
potatoes that are nothing more nor less than ordinary field-run commercial crops,
no attention being paid to type development, disease-resistance, high-yielding qual-
ities, or any of the other very necessary matters that must be carefully watched and
controlled if the highest grade of seed stock is produced. And because the price
of these ordinary potatoes seems to be comparatively cheap, planters purchase the
seed, take it home and plant it in good soil and give the crop careful attention and then
wonder why their yields are not what they should be. The sturdiness of Northern-
grown seed for early Southern planting is universally recognized and I offer you the
best stock that I am able to obtain. If you will compare the quality of my seed pota-
toes at the same time you are comparing pricesquoted by those who are not competent
to choose or market so-called seed potatoes, I know that you will find mine far more
reasonable in price and well worth purchasing. If you are sincerely interested in
increasing your potato yields, I would suggest that you write the United States
Department of Agriculture, Division of Publications, for Farmers’ Bulletin 1190,
which will give you some splendid practical information that is certain to prove
helpful to you. And — get Reuter’s quotations before ordering your seed potatoes.

State Market a tomato that will
before many years, be the chief purple fruited market variety grown in the Gulf States.
Gulf State Market was developed out of the Early Detroit, and retains the earliness of
that variety. The vines are very vigorous and withstand blight exceptionally well.
The fruits are large for so early a variety, round or globe shaped, show but little depres-
sion about stem and are smooth and free from cracks. Color deep purplish-pink ripening
well about the stem. The skin is firm and the flesh is solid. Unless all signs fail, this
will prove to be the most productive of all shipping tomatoes. It is also of the most
desirable shape for packing. Remember that Gulf State Market is earlier than any
other good purple tomato. Mississippi crops of this wonderful variety in 1923 gave won-
derful results. We are backing Gulf State Market to win first place in its class.

Claimed to be the largest of all tomatoes-
“It is not a freak, but the very best
tomato for the home garden from every standpoint. The great size and productiveness, and solid flesh is
combined with delicious flavor for eating sliced raw or canned. The cooking qualities could not be better.
The BRIMMER will produce tomatoes often weighing 3 pounds and some that were 18 inches around
have been grown by training to a single stem. It must be staked. The solid flesh of this tomato is remark-
able. There is no core, very few seeds, and the flesh is like a beefsteak. It is a medium early variety and
continues to bear large fruit all through the season. Vines are vigorous and healthy and bear a tremendous
load of fruit right up to frost. It seems wonderful that a tomato should grow so large and yet have so
many fruits on each vine. Even though so large, the fruits are well shaped, bright red, and the flavor is
simply grand. Always sweet, mildly acid, melting and cool.

and keep free from weeds so that the young plants will not be
checked in growth. It is important to get the spring crop started

This is one of the best and most valuable

new land or light, sandy soil, and for this
reason are largely grown for breaking
where, without cultivation, they produce
bountiful crops of excellent quality. Ruta-
bagas are grown for two purposes — for
table use and stock feed. Our seed is
grown for us in England by specialists,
whose life work has been the breeding and
production of the highest type of Ruta-
baga. The aim has been to produce a
root with a small top of uniform size and
shape and with a single tap root, a root of
high feeding quality, fine flavor and great
productiveness.

With the kind of Rutabaga Seed I sell
you it is possible to raise 15 to 25 tons
of roots per acre. With ordinary seed,
about one-half this amount, and sometimes
less. My strain produces a variety with
an exceedingly short neck, is very solid,
of a beautiful orange or amber color,
with a handsome purple top. Grows to
extreme size and of the finest quality. It
is short neck, small top, firm flesh, sym-
metrical shape, united with high feeding

A Seed and Soil Inoculant That Increases Crop
Production and Greatly Improves the Soil

Soil and crop experts agree that for best growth, and to put atmospheric
nitrogen in the soil, it will pay all farmers to inoculate all legumes, even where
they are at present successfully grown. The cost is trivial when compared with
the profit it will bring you. Legumes are clovers,
peas and beans, alfalfa, soy beans, vetches and other
plants that grow their seeds in a pod. Their roots
are the home of bacteria that draw fertility-building
nitrogen from the air and store it in swellings on the
roots, called nodules. These nodules not only feed
nitrogen to the crop they are on, but rot away
in the ground and supply valuable nitrogen to the
soil for future crops of corn, wheat, cotton, oats,
fruits, etc.

The 1-acre size will inoculate: 15 pounds of
Clover; 20 pounds of Alfalfa; 100 pounds of Cow-
peas ; 75 pounds of Soy Beans, etc. ; 60 pounds Vetch ;
other sizes in relative proportion. Place the seed in
a pile, fill the bottle with water, add a little sugar,
shake and moisten the seeds; when dry, plant in
the usual way. Your crop will benefit beyond your
fondest expectations.

Be sure to state what crops you wish to
inoculate.

A special composite culture is prepared for Gar-
den Peas, Beans, and Sweet Peas, 34-acre size only.

You will insure large, luscious peas and beans, and
abundant sweet pea blossoms of gorgeous coloring.

Ask for No. 5, price 50c, postpaid.

Farrnogerm Prices are: 1-acre size, $1.00

Mulford Culture!

In Your Garden you can get increased yields and improve your soil if you
inoculate all your Garden Peas, Garden Beans, Lima Beans and Sweet Peas with

Mulford Cultures.

Peas, beans, etc., belong to the legume or pod-bearing family of plants, which
Nature has endowed with the wonderful ability to harbor and nurture certain
bacteria on their roots, and these bacteria in turn, gather nitrogen from the air
and feed it to the plant itself. Increased nitrogen supplied to the plant means
increased yield

As a rule, the proper bacteria are not present in
the soil; therefore, to insure best results, always use
Mulford Cultures.

Mulford Cultures contain pure, tested strains
of active, vigorous, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, for in-
oculating seeds of legumes or soil. Enormous num-
bers of these very valuable and desirable bacteria
are thus available toyouin every package of Mulford
Culture and may readily be applied to your seed.
The sealed bottle insures purity.

Legumes offer the best known means of
maintaining so’l fertility and rejuvenating over-
cropped and wornout fields. They add both humus
and nitrogen to your soil and thus increase your yield
of wheat, cotton, corn and other non-legume crops.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture and
many State Agricultural Experiment Stations recom-
mend inoculation of legumes with nitrogen-fixing
bacteria to induce a prompt “catch” and increase
your yield.

Treat your seed before planting. Very easy to
use — simply add water and moisten seeds with the
mixture.

bacteria for each legume

Davis’ Prolific Seed Corn No. 747—^^"^

is the product of many years of selection and breeding, the object being the pro-
duction of a high-yielding corn suitable to the average soils of the South; one that
would produce two ears to the stalk where the soil’s fertility was sufficient to pro-
duce it. Davis’ Prolific Corn is the result of careful and systematic corn seed
breeding and re-selecting over a period of many years. Throughout the entire
South, from South Carolina to Texas, thousands of farmers are producing bumper
crops from this splendid corn as attested by the flattering letters we receive year
after year from our customers. This corn was originally called the Davis’ Poor
Land Corn because of its ability to make good yields on land that ordinarily would
would not produce a fair crop of the usual Southern varieties. Davis’ Prolific
is a medium early variety; two or more ears to the stalk; a large deep grain and a
small cob. The ears are medium in size, filling close in the rows and well out at
the tip and butt. It is not a flinty grain, but is as sound as any flint variety.
It makes fine meal, and, of course, fine feed, the cob being so small that stock will
eat most of the cob. Many tests have shown that 70 pounds of ear corn will shell
out 60 to 62 pounds of grain. Ordinarily, good ear corn, 70 pounds to the bushel,
shells out 80 per cent, or 56 pounds of grain. Seventy pounds of ear corn of Davis’
Prolific will shell out about 86 per cent or about 60 pounds of grain. One reason
for the heavy yields of this variety is that Mr. Davis, the originator and grower
of the seed offered on this page, has practically eliminated barren stalks from this
corn, and another reason for its popularity is that it makes good yields not only on
comparative thin land but is just as well adapted to rich lands. The Davis’ Pro-
lific Seed Corn I am offering this year is from a large field that averaged 65 bushels
to the acre and no corn was gathered from this field but good, sound ears, the
balance being left in the field for the cattle and sheep to clean up. Bear this in
mind when buying Davis’ Prolific Seed Corn, grown by Mr. Davis and supplied
direct to us. Davis’ Prolific Seed Corn is raised under normal field conditions, as
experience shows it gives larger yields than seed corn raised on selected rich spots
that have been heavily manured or fertilized. The seed selected for stock seed
comes from the thinnest lands for it is only on poor lands that an experienced and
practical seed corn breeder can study its characteristics and see its ability to pro-
duce good corn under circumstances not most favorable. For 29 years Mr. Davis
has grown and bred Davis’ Prolific Seed Corn. Today, it is unquestionably the
most perfect, most dependable prolific corn ever introduced in the South. We
do not know of any so-called prolific corn that can even compare with the results
that can be obtained from this pure seed that comes to us direct from the originator.

What Customers Think Of It is in tire eating,” is an old,

but true saying. And the best person to tell you of the merits of the Davis Prolific
Corn is the planter who has bought It, put it into his ground and watched the
result. Here are a number of good words that I have received from customers,
telling me what they think of this splendid seed corn: Mrs. E. L. Bell, of West
Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, writes: ‘‘The Davis Prolific Corn is the best I ever
planted in my life. It makes early and it makes a solid ear. There is no other
corn to compare with Davis. I expect to plant it as long as I farm.” Mr. Jake
Thames, of Newton County, Miss., tells me: ‘‘I have had extra good success with
your Davis Prolific Corn. The yield has been much better than I have made with
other seed. I am so well pleased with it that I will plant my full crop in Davis
next year.” Messrs. J. B. Davis & Bros., of St. Charles Parish, La., write; “The
Davis Prolific Corn is the best that we have ever planted. It yields more to the
acre and we had a good crop this season, a bad one. We have concluded to plant
no other corn than the Davis Prolific.” Mr. Ed. J. Ander-
son, of Pearl River Co., Miss., tells me this in a letter: “I
had the best corn crop this year I ever had. Your Davis
Prolific Corn made 50 bushels to the acre on new land, first
crop. I live on the Jackson Highway and I have seen many
people, passing in their cars, stop to look at my crop.” Mr.

W. H. Baker, of Vermilion Parish, La., says: "I am very
well pleased with your Davis Prolific Seed Corn. It made
a good crop in spite of the dry weather we had just as it
began to silk and tassel.” Mr. J. H. Thomas, of Cullman
Co., Ala., writes: "I have had good success with the Davis
Prolific Seed Com ordered from you. I like it fine.” Mr.

W J. Andress, of Monroe Co., Ala., says: "I can recom-
mend your Davis Prolific Corn. Have planted it for two
years and made well both years. I have made at least five
bushels more per acre than on my other corn, with same
land and work.” Mr. J. Edgar Davis, of East Baton Rouge
Parish, La., writes: “Under very adverse weather con-
ditions, my son, a member of the Boy’s Corn Club, pro-
duced on one acre of Davis Prolific Corn, 42.8 bushels, after
losing, at conservative estimate, 30 per cent through in-
sects and rotting due to heavy crop of velvet beans in
corn.” Davis Prolific Corn will do as well for you.

season that I w'as right and had benefitted
them by calling their attention to Davis’
corn. I want it thoroughly understood, too,
that this variety has not been developed
or brought out at the expense or on the
reputation of any other actual or so-called
prolific corn. Mr. Davis has been produc-
ing this corn for years, each year bettering
it, and I have never sold a grain of this
variety that hasn’t come to me right from
the Davis farm. This corn has always been
grown and bred under actual Southern
farm conditions, just like it might be on
your farm. No special treatment of soil —
just good, thorough, practical farming.

understand that every pound, every peck, every bushel of
this famous seed corn that I distribute in this, as in all
previous years, comes to me direct from Mr. Clarendon
Davis, the originator of the variety. I contract each year
for as much of this seed as Mr. Davis can supply me and
I have never yet obtained sufficient seed to supply the
demand. You can order this seed corn with a full assur-
ance that you will get uncontaminated seed and that it
is the true variety from the seed-breeding farm. I could
purchase great quantities of this variety from hundreds of
growers but while I realize many of them are good seed
corn growers and are thoroughly reputable men, I will not
take a chance and obtain my stpek from any other than
the original source.

“My results with your Surecropper Com was indeed
gratifying. The crop was a success,” says Mr. J.
Ellis Dupont, a good Louisiana planter. “It is the
best corn I ever planted. I think it is the best corn
for the South. I expect to plant all Surecropper next
year.” is the verdict of Mr. T. A. Anding, of South-
west Louisiana. Mr. B. W. Baggett, an Alabama cus-
tomer, writes: ‘‘I have been very successful in growing
the Surecropper Corn which I purchased from you.
I planted about June 10 and by August 10 was using
corn for the table. Have not yet harvested and can-
not tell you the exact amount per acre, but am sure
the land planted in Surecropper will yield more profit
per acre than the land by its side planted in other

two crops can be grown in our country. I made two
very profitable crops this year on the same ground fol-
lowing potatoes, with Surecropper.”

'M' yc A Surecropper Corn is taking the place

J of Mexican June Corn and Hickory
KingCorn, as it’s thequickest maturing corn ever planted
in the South. It has large white grains on a white cob.
The ears are not quite so large as some varieties, but
Reuter’s Surecropper will make a good yield when
other corn will fail entirely. It is a sure-crop every
time. It usually makes roasting ears in about 60
days and matures in about 110 days. Shells 82 to
85 per cent grain. It is two weeks earlier than common,
native corn. It is early, like Northern corn, but has
a great advantage in its drouth-resisting qualities.
It usually yields twice as much as Northern varieties.
It is an “early corn” for spring planting or a “quick-
maturing” corn for summer planting on stubble lands
or potato lands or where cotton has been killed out.
Its many good qualities have made it widely popular.
It is thoroughly adapted to the South and will do well
in every cotton state. It has proved to be a wonderful
yielder in Texas and Oklahoma, also in central and
northern Louisiana and on up into northern Arkansas.
Here is what some of our Southern farmer friends
have had to say about Reuter's Surecropper
Corn: “I planted Surecropper Corn on May
20th after gathering a crop of potatoes and it
made roasting ears in less than 60 days. By
planting Surecropper I have made two crops
off the same land this season.” “I planted
Surecropper Corn on July 8th and on August
24th I sold roasting ears from this field.”

Sixty to eighty bushels to the acre is an
every-year occurrence. Many farmers have
written us that Surecropper Corn has filled
their cribs when other varieties failed. If
you want to be sure of a reasonable crop in
dry seasons and a bumper crop in favorable
seasons, do not fail to plant at least a third or a
half of your acreage in Surecropper Corn

Reuter’s IMPROVED GOLDEN DENT CORN

We have fine new crop seed corn ready for use. Practically
all seed of Golden Dent Corn offered in the South is Northern Grown
and is not acclimated, so seldom makes good in the crop. Our stock
is grown specially for our trade in the best producing
sections of Texas and will please you and make you
a sure-crop for early use. Our stock is hand shelled
and graded. Our growers of this wonderful yellow
corn select our seed corn from stalks in the field. As
much attention is devoted to developing good stalk
characteristics as to improve good ear quality. Only
good sound ears are taken from healthy stalks. Frankly
we believe that our particular stock of this well-known
yellow variety is as good, if not better, than anything
ever offered to farmers in the South.

Prices: Large pkt., 10c; lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c,

Reuter’s Improved Golden Dent Corn

TVn The best hish

yielding yellow
corn for the south — proved by
experiment station tests. The orig-
inal stock of this corn has been
improved 18 years for Southern
planting. It is now the most
popular Yellow Dent Corn with
farmers in the Southwest, and will
eventually be planted upon thou-
sands of acres throughout every
part of the Cotton belt.

It is a medium early variety,
usually maturing from 120 to 130
days from planting. The ears are
blocky and well shaped (note photo-
graphic reproductions on bottom
of page), usually 7 to 10 inches long
and about the same in circumference.

It will mature considerably in ad-
vance of the ordinary southern varieties. It makes a strong stalk, stands up
well in stormy weather. The ears are surely beautiful, 80 to 88 per cent grain and
you will find that a large number of the stalks will bear two ears. The legal
standards calls for 80 per cent grain.

Reuter's Improved Golden Dent is a good yielder on uplands, and makes splen-
did crops of large ears on bottom lands. This corn has been developed and tested
so many years side by side with other selected varieties, that there is no question
about its adaptability and dependability. It has been tested by Experiment
Stations of several states and it has led in yield and quality of ear and grain, so
often that it has become the most sought after Yellow Dent Corn in several
Southern States.

Yields 75 to 80 bushels to the acre easily. It is a high yielder on uplands
and produces magnificent results on bottom lands, as I have mentioned above.
It will produce abundant yields of fine heavy corn in Arkansas, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Alabama and Texas, as well as other Southern States.

Highest field yields in experiment station tests. One of our customers writes:
“This corn is better than any other yellow corn I ever planted. It makes a good
stalk and a good sized ear, and it is a fast grower. While I haven’t gathered my
crop yet, a careful estimate is that I’ll gather 70 bushels an acre and it might run
over 75 bushels.” Enthusiastic 1 etters of this kind from farmers in the several
Southern States compelled us to secure a stock of this wonderful yellow corn,
and we have obtained our seed from the most responsible and careful growers of
seed corn in Texas. Our stock is an improved strain of Ferguson's Yellow Dent or
King’s Golden, the corn is selected, nubbed and tipped, shelled by hand, and
carefully graded — the largest, plumpest kernels being used entirely for our stock.
Crop Improvement Associations and Experiment Stations in Texas, Arkansas
and Louisiana recommend this type as the best standard Yellow Dent Corn for
the South. You can readily see that this is an unusual corn.

Mexican June
(Genuine) No. 758 —

This dependable variety, largely
planted'late in the spring through-
out the cotton belt, originally came
from Mexico. It is largely used for
planting after oats and wheat. We
do not advise sowing before May
1st if grain is wanted and it can be
planted as late as August 15th with
good results. The stalks are usually
short, although early planting makes
stalks 12 to 15 feet high, leaves 4 to
6 feet long. The roots run deep
and spread, so that it is a splendid
drouth resister. Ears 8 to 9 inches
long, grains short to medium, cobs
medium in size, and while usually
white, occasionally you’ll find a
red cob and a few blue grains. This apparent mixture of color is peculiar to many
varieties of Mexican corn. Mighty fine for “roasting ears” for use right up to
frost.

don’t seem to take well to this variety, but all kinds of stock relish it immensely.
This is the hardest-grained corn you ever saw. It resists drouth better than most
varieties, and stands more wet weather than a duck. The husk is what I want
you to notice particularly when this crop is matured on your farm. It covers the
ear of corn so completely and tightly that it is impossible for any bird or weevil
to get in the corn. Yields 40 to 60 bushels to the acre, depending upon the soil
and conditions. Produces two good ears to the stalk, and sometimes three. I
would not recommend this corn for an all purpose or whole crop corn, but for
something to last with no weevil damage from one year’s end to the other it has
no equal. This corn contains only 12% of moisture whereas Northern corn con-
tains as much as 18% at times.

WHAT CUSTOMERS THINK OF THIS CORN

Mr. Daniel Alvarado, a Texas farmer, writes: “I found your Golden Dent
Seed Corn a very good seed. Its yield was about 60 bushels to the acre.’'

Mr. S. W. Taylor, a Mississippi planter, says: “I am very much pleased
with your Golden Dent Corn. I never have had any corn to do any better
for the season to be so bad and I expect to have you supply me with the
same seed again.”

Mr. C. W. Baker, of Louisiana, tells me: “Your Golden Dent Seed Corn
made fine. I couldn’t expect any better for poor land.”

Mr. V.A. Vanzant, of Arkansas, writes: “I plantedyour Golden Dent Seed
Corn last spring and under very unfavorable conditions got a good crop for
a yellow corn, and for thin or old land. Golden Dent Corn cannot be beat.”

REUTER’S Celebrated Giant Red Cob

C T ^ A O Throughout the entire South there is no big-eared corn that equals

r T1 (f J ZJ- Renter’s Celebrated Giant Red Cob (illustrated to the right of this

~ page). It is unquestionably the finest large-eared Southern field

corn that you can possibly plant for a main crop. This is one of the grandest corns, being large grained, wonderfully
productive, high feeding and of exceptional milling value. For ensilage purposes it is absolutely unbeatable. Stalks
9 to 12 feet high, broad, strong and short-pointed, with ears 8 to 12 inches long, 16 to 22 rows, deep grain, pure white,
with red cob, averaging two large ears, and sometimes three, with foliage broad leaved and full; in fact, the finest large,
white red-cob corn we have ever seen growing in any corn section of this country.

On a five-acre field we had 600 bushels, and averaged 90 bushels to the acre of good sound corn on 200 acres
planted for seed purposes. One of my Mississippi customers produced 110 bushels to the acre, and another one of
my Louisiana friends claims to have 106 bushels to the acre on a ten-acre field. It is medium early, producing thor-
oughly matured corn in 100-120 days. If you want quality, big yield and corn of the highest germinating vitality,
try this superlative quality corn this spring by all means.

REUTER’S IOWA GROWN SEED CORN

A great many of our customers prefer Northern-grown seed corn, as it matures very early, and is also good for

we offer have been carefully selected for our trade and are recommended to you with full assurance that you’ll be
pleased. These particular varieties are perfectly adapted to the South, for we have sold them for several years,
largely in the vicinity of New Orleans, and the results are always satisfactory. Our seed is grown expressly for us
in Iowa, the greatest corn state in the Union, the stock is carefully butted and tipped, put up in even weight two
bushel bags. After this stock arrives in New Orleans, every bushel goes through our big electrically operated seed
cleaner, so you can't help but get the finest corn you’ve ever seen. On account of unfavorable weather conditions
in Iowa, good, sound, thoroughly dried, hi-gerrninating seed corn is extremely scarce.

For early green feed and silage it is one of the best sorts for you to plant. Stalks medium in height, ranging front
7 to 10 feet, very leafy, broad blades and a lot of them. The type of this corn is very even and uniform; ears run from
9 to 12 inches long; 16 to 22 rows of pure white kernels solidiy set on a medium small white cob; ears well filled out

Georgia Experiment Station, since 1910. when it was first tested, it averaged first in close com-
petitive tests with the cream of twenty to thirty-four other prominent varieties. At the Missis-
sippi Experiment Station it averaged first with the same competition during 1906, 1907 and
1908. Besides the advantages of the greatest productivity , highest percentage of lint, big
bolls, etc., our special stock has advantages over other strains for boll weevil territory.
Its unquestioned uniformity permits gathering up all the cotton early and plowing
under the stalks and this should appeal to cotton farmers where boll weevil con-
ditions must be considered. It is a standard variety that can be planted with
confidence.

Hawkins’ Prolific Big Boll Cotton —
(Originator’s Pure-Bred Seed Only)

7J2A An extra e»ly, extra-prolific, bigbollcot-

ton that has proved to be a mainstay in
all cotton states. It gets ahead of the boll weevilevery
time, and has proved to be a money maker for many
cotton planters in the South. Why plant scrub seed
when you can take the best cotton in the world, such as
Hawkins’ Prolific Big Boll, and at a small cost per acre
almost double your yields? This is one of the earliest,
most prolific, easiest picked and of most superior lint,
and finest staple; tall-growing, long tap-root, resisting
drouth ; from two to four limbs near the surface branch-
ing two short limbs together all the way up to the top,
all literally covered with big, white bolls; light foliage,
large bolls, small seed, light gray or dark green, yielding
38 to 40 percent lint, and sometimes even more. Opens
Well, growing much taller than other sorts, giving every
advantage over other varieties in yield per acre. On
the short fruited limbs of the Hawkins’ Cotton near the
bottom and the middle of the stalks will be found grow^
ing two bolls opposite each other on the same limb, and
very often eight to ten bolls can be covered with the
span of the hand on the same limb. Sometimes called
the Double-Jointed Cotton. Well adapted to all soils.
With proper fertilization and cultivation will produce as
many as three bales to the acre. It has received the first
prize at the Georgia State Fair. Every sack we sell
comes direct from Mr. Hawkins — you secure from us
nothing but the originator’s pedigreed seed.

Extra Early Varieties for Boll Weevil Sections

Mitchell’s Re-Improved Early King No. 781 Every pound of this seed is

obtained direct from Mr. Mitchell, at Sugar Loaf Farm. This is the genuine, unmixed pedigreed type that is so
hard to get, because the demand always exceeds the supply. Frankly, I believe that this one variety of cotton
has done more towards helping the South combat the boll weevil than any other agency that has been employed.
A cotton which is not a quick and prolific boll-maker cannot produce a paying crop in boll weevil districts, because
the only practical and certain way to stop the boll weevil is to plant a hardy, prolific and quick-maturing cotton
and rush it to maturity before the boll weevil has time to get busy. For nearly twenty years, Mr. Mitchell has
carefully selected, proved and re-selected this variety, and we are extremely fortunate in being able to offer you
his perfected stock of this wonderful, extra early variety. A small boll, short staple variety, very early and very
prolific; it beats the weevil to a frazzle. The cotton is the peer of any cotton, for it blooms in 60 days, and is
ready for picking in abbut 115 to 120 days. It is the earliest, most prolific, most perfectly bred, and has the largest
yield of lint of any cotton on record in the Cotton Belt. It has held the record as the best boll weevil dodger yet
produced. Seed supply limited — order early.

Resembles King very much in growth and shape. It grows a strong hardy plant, limbs out close to the ground,

and fruits early and heavily. It should be planted in not less than 5-foot rows and plants spaced 18 to 2 4

inches apart in boll weevil sections. This character of planting gives the plant ample room, and with its scant fol-
iage, plenty of sunshine gets to all parts of the plant, which retards the activity of boll weevil. This cotton
has become well known throughout the entire South. An extended description is hardly necessary. Our seed
stock is procured from one of the best cotton seed breeders in North Carolina, and can be planted with every
assurance of making good.

It is worth millions of dollars to the cotton planters in boll weevil sections. It opens earlier than other extra
earlies, and it doesn’t blow out or drop out as quickly. It’s a heavier bearer, and makes better and longer lint.
It roots deeply, resisting both drouth and storms. It branches well and has light, open foliage, letting in the sun
to all parts of the plant. It doesn’t have dense shade for the boll weevil to hide away in. It fruits from the ground
to the top. Contains 40 to 43 per cent lint. This cotton has been tried under all kinds of soils and conditions
from one end of the South to the other, in uplands, and in bottoms, and has made good everywhere it has been
planted. You can’t find a hardier, more vigorous, more prolific cotton than Bank Account.

just ly named. It has certainly been a money
maker for many a planter this season. We
have just received lots of reports of a half
and three-fourths of a bale to the acre, right
in the boil weevil sections. Money Maker
is an early cotton, the growing type of which
is small, somewhat on the order of the King

or Simpkins, and it matures about one week later than these two varieties,
and gives excellent “turn-out”of lint. Our seed is furnished by experts.

1UU1C JTlUllllC JAU. JOO The cotton seed breeders who are supplying us with this

type this year have devoted more than six years to improving this variety, and our stock this year
is wilt-resistant and improved in many various ways, inasmuch as the bolls of our particular stock
are larger and tend to five lock much more so than the original seed procured from Carolina. Very
popular in Louisiana on account of its extra earliness, as well as its ability to mature a full crop
before the boll weevil infestation commences. It is also very prolific. It does not grow so tall
puts out three or four large limbs at the ground and limbing from there up, limbs having very short
joints and maturing one or two bolls to the joint. It has along tap root which endures it to stand
the drouth better than most sorts. Opens wide and is very easy to pick and will make an average
yield from 41 to 42 per cent lint. 1,200 pounds of seed cotton will average a 500-lb. bale. Toole
Prolific, our pedigreed wilt-resistant strain, will mature a full crop in 100 to 110 days after planting.

PLANT THIS NEW STAPLE COTTON

A New Cotton— Delf os 6102 No. 788— bSSV”

iment Station, Stoneville, Mississippi, from the well-known Foster. Before the Experiment Station
gave the seed of this cotton to planters, it had consistently been the best staple cotton in the variety
tests for several years. Both in 1921 and 1922, Delfos 6102 stood at the top of the list, not only
in the lint per acre, but also in the money value per acre. It is the most wonderful staple cotton
ever developed to combat the boll-weevil. Makes earlier than other varieties. A few acres of this
remarkable sort near New Orleans produced nearly 2 bales to the acre. Ordinarily it will make
from 150 to 175 bales on 200 acres. This staple varies from 1 ya inch to 1 ^ inch, depending upon
the season and the amount of fertilizer used. It is strong and silky and is greatly in demand by
spinners. The turnout is very high for a cotton of this staple, 1600 pounds of seed cotton making
a 500-lb. bale, averaging 31 per cent, 73 bolls to the pound, which readily shows it is a big boll
variety. The plant is very dwarf with long fruiting limbs, very small leaves, extremely light foliage
and very few vegetative branches. It is one of the earliest and most rapidly maturing varieties
known, opening ahead of many of the short staple varieties, whose earliness is their only virtue.
The bolls are larger than other varieties of staple cotton and open wide, making picking easy. We
have obtained our seed from one of the most practical cotton farmers in Mississippi. It has been
carefully selected and properly ginned, with a view of supplying only pure, unmixed seed. The
supply of good planting seed of this variety is limited.

Reuter’s Japanese Honey Cane

Delfos 6102 — Grown for Seed Exclusively for Reuter

Cane Seed For Syrup and Forage

rnltliro .Plant on rich land during March, April or May, according to location, in rows 3^ to 4 feet apart at

UU11U1C tile rate of 12 to 15 pounds of seed to the acre. Cultivate like corn and chop out like cotton, leaving
plants about 10 to 12 inches apart in the row. The best time to cut for making syrup is just before the seeds ripen, as
the plants have more saccharine at that state of growth. If, however, it is your intention to save the seed, let the
plant mature and cut when entirely ripe. The seed heads should be cut and cured in the field.

Some farmers who plant for syrup, do not pull the fodder, but run the plant and fodder through a cane crusher,
thereby saving labor. This method of crushing the cane may cause the syrup to be a little darker in color than if the
fodder is pulled. Seed should not be run through crusher after they ripen.

Reuter’s Japanese Honey Cane Seed No. 898— ggyh°^‘pa 7ouipclSobeuer'than

plant this variety. Our true variety of this heavy- yielding syrup sorghum will produce 25 to 30 tons of green fodder
per acre. Some of our customers claim to have made 500 gallons of syrup off one acre. The most striking feature about
this splendid cane is the exquisitely delicious flavor of the molasses, though the delicate light color also has something
to do with it; matures in 120 to 125 days. It sends up 2 to 4 stalks, which reach a height of 11 to 15. feet.

Considering the adaptability of this sweet sorghum to a wide range of soils, which will not produce Louisiana Rib-
bon Cane with any profit at all, and in addition to this, a superiority of flavor which is putting molasses made from this
cane on the same basis with that from the Louisiana cane, we cannot help feeling that the problem of a molasses cane has
at last been solved for the farmers of the South. Mr. II. L. Ellington, a good customer of ours from Mississippi,
wrote us claiming from 50 pounds of seed to have produced 1,000 gallons of syrup which sold from 55c to 65c per gallon.
When you order this variety of us, you get seed that is dependable, thoroughly recleaned, hand-picked from selected
seed heads.

SORGHUM AND CANE SEED FOR FORAGE PURPOSES

The planting of sorghum throughout the South for forage and hay crops is on the increase. Can be planted either alone
or mixed with cowpeas. The sorghum plant is a strong, rapid grower, and a greedy feeder, so it succeeds best on a deep,
rich moist soil. The seed can be planted in drills 2 to 3 feet apart and the crop cultivated, or may be sown broadcast.
LTse 10 to 15 pounds per acre in drills; 50 lbs. when broadcasted for forage; if sown broadcast with peas, use about 25
lbs. with 60 lbs. of peas. We obtain our stocks of sorghum for forage and hay purposes from the most reliable sources.
Each lot is analyzed for purity and germination before sold. Every bag is recleaned through our big electric seed cleaners.
When you buy sorghum seed from Reuter’s you get nothing but thoroughly recleaned seed of quality.

_A 11 the following varieties of sorghum succeed in the dryest season. When com-
mon corn will fail entirely for want of rain, these plants simply stop, wait for the
rain, and then go and make a full crop. In weight of grain they will make more per acre than the same land will make corn. In
the way of dry forage they give enormous returns, at a cost less than the cost of gathering alone of fodder corn. Cultivated the
same as corn. They will grow on any land where corn will and on many lands too poor for corn. As soon as the seed begins to
glaze, commence to cut and stock. It usually requires one week of good hot sunshine to cure the hay. The main point is to cure the hay so that it will not sour when
stacked or stored away. The seeds may be threshed by running the stalks through a threshing machine, from which all but one row of the concave teeth are removed.
Prices fluctuate and are subject to market changes.

White Kaffir Com No. 891—

This variety grows from 4 to 8 feet tall, making a straight,
upright growth. It has a strong stem with enormous wide
leaves. The stalks keep green and are brittle, making excel-
lent fodder, either green or dried, which is highly relished by
cattle and horses. The heads, which are formed in the top
of the stalks, range in length from 6 to 15 inches. As early
as these heads begin to show development, the joints next
below the top send out seed heads, so that the crop yields
an enormous amount of seed. Where the seed is the object
it will be well to cut out the first or top heads as soon as
they are ripe, as this will cause a better development of the
second crop of heads. For the grain sow in rows 3 feet
apart, 10 pounds to the acre. For fodder, sow from one-
half to one bushel to the acre, either broadcast or in drills.

Feterita No. 894, the Great Drouth

fVrvr» A truly grand forage plant that was brought from

Egypt iii 1907. Similar to Kaffir Corn in gen-
eral habit, but grows a little taller and produces larger heads,
standing erect. The stalks bear ten to twelve leaves and the
heads are well filled with pure white or bluish white seeds.

The grain is larger than that of Milo and softer than Kaffir.

It is about a month earlier than Kaffir and yields considerably
more. Eighty bushels to the acre have been reported to us.

When corn will burn up on account of heat, Feterita will
flourish. Sow in rows like Kaffir Corn. It requires about 8
to 10 pounds to sow an acre. There was surely a big demand for Feterita
the past few years and our supply last year was exhausted long before the
actual planting season was over. It is, therefore, to your interest to pur-

Egyptian Wheat or Shallu No. 895

(Sometimes called Chicken Corn) — Illustrated at the
top of this page. It is a variety of the sorghum family,
with large loose, bushy heads, covered thickly with small
grains. If left standing, the grains drop off in a scatter-
ing manner and the chickens gather it. For this reason,
some folks call it Chicken Corn. If grown on a large
scale, the large, well-filled heads can be cut at maturity
and fed to the poultry as desired. Contains 80 per cent
of the feeding value of our common corn as a stock food.
It is best to sow the seed rather thinly in rows about
to 4 feet apart, leaving three to four plants to every 4 feet
of row. If planted on a small scale, endeavor to sow
near enough to the chicken house, so chickens can range,
feeding on the seeds as they fall to the ground. It’s
surely an easy crop to grow and can always be depended
upon to produce an abundance of feed. If it is used for
fodder purposes, it may be cut about three times a year,
yielding in the three cuttings from 5 to 7 tons per acre.
Grows 6 to 8 feet high. Plant from January until July,
depending upon your locality. We recommend sowing
10 pounds to the acre in rows 3}4 to 4 feet apart. Sow
broadcast at the rate of 25 lbs. to the acre.

The yield is from 60 to 100 bushels to the acre. It is
straight-necked variety, which is a valuable feature in
gathering, feeding and cutting the heads. It will stand
greater drouth than any other sorghum, and for that reason
is admirably adapted to dry farming. Should be extensively grown; in
fact, every farmer should plant a few acres, for if drouth comes he will be
sure of feed. Should be planted about the 1st of April until August 1st.

rate of one bushel to the acre, during February and March, or even as late as
April, and into May. Sow it broadcast on growing grain, if you like. If sown on
sod the land should first be scarified with a disk harrow in order to give the seed
a good seed bed. It thrives on very poor soils and continually improves them, at
the same time yielding a highly profitable and nutritious forage. It will yield as
high as four tons to the acre and frequently more. Many of iny best customers
sow Lespedeza in February in their fall planted oats I advise you to send to
the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., for a copy of Farmer’s
Bulletin No. 1143, which will give you much helpful information about Lespedeza.

ALFALFA — Peerless New Mexico No . 701 — (^99% )

My Peerless New Mexico Alfalfa Seed has thoroughly demonstrated its superior-
ity in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Alabama and other portions of the South,
It is now the standard seed for the most practical planters in Louisiana, who have
found it thoroughly adapted and acclimated and reliable in every way. Before
the introduction of this variety into the South the planters had unusual trouble in
getting stands and maturing profitable crops, due to seed being of a type unsuited
to our soils and climate. Now, however, I am seldom able to" supply thedemand.

Reuter’s Certified Hairy Peruvian Alfalfa

■VTp. 7(0 .This is truly a wonderful variety and I have known it to produce

three tons more to the acre than ordinary alfalfa planted alongside
of it. It is of a long-season sort, especially adapted to the South and Southwest,
is a vigorous grower, will thrive at a temperature 10 degrees colder than common
alfalfa and wdl only winter-kill at 10 degrees Fahrenheit or less. At least five
pounds more seed to the acre should be sown than other varieties, for it is nec-
essary to have a thick stand to produce good hay. Plants grow taller, stems
larger, grayish-green leaves, and should be cut early. It is impossible to dis-
tinguish Hairy Peruvian seed from other varieties so care should be used in han-
dling and planting the seed.

soils, withstands cold and heat well, and is liked by all stock, including poultry.
It should be cut when young. Sow in August, September or October for fall plant-
ing, and in February and March for spring, at a rate of 15 to 20 pounds of our
re-cleaned hulled seed to the acre.

P<->/4 H'XH Southern farmers are fast realizing the great

Any ground having a reasonable amount of moisture will produce a good crop.
Prepare the land and cultivate as for corn, except the rows are only 22 inches
apart, so that one furrow in each middle, with an 18-inch sweep, usually suffices
for a working, and the hills just far enough so it can be hoed. Plant as early
in April as you can. Drop 16 to 20 seed in each hill and leave all that come up.
Cultivate for moisture and to keep down grass and weeds until the rice begins
to head. It usually ripens last of August or early in September. The color

full value, and to which we would do well to give more attention, not only as1 a feed
for hogs, but as a source of green feed for all live stock, including chickens, and the
family as well. It will astonish anyone who has never planted it to see how much
grazing an acre of this plant will "give. Rape makes a very acceptable dish of
“greens” and can be grown as a substitute for “turnip greens.” It belongs to the
same family as turnip and cabbage. The plants grow to a height of 1 y2 to 4 feet,
depending on conditions of soil and climate. In shape and color of leaf it resembles
the rutabaga. Rape makes no bulbous roots. The leaves grow very rank and
succulent, and being sweet and tender, they are quite palatable. Fall seeding is
best, but early spring sowing is successful. The crop is not injured by ordinary
winters in the South. The earlier seedings nearly always give the largest yields, as
growth is checked when very warm weather occurs. Can be planted in rows like
turnips, four pounds per acre, or broadcasted 8 to 10 pounds to the acre. The best
depth to sow the seed is about one-half inch. Ready for grazing in 8 to 10 weeks.
Yields of 30 tons per acre, green weight, are not rare. Ten to 15 tons is a good yield,
and smaller returns are profitable. An acre of good Rape will easily supply pasture
for 20 hogs for two months. Sow some Rape as soon as the land can be prepared.

Plant MILLETS for QUICK “CATCH” CROP

Tennessee Grown Golden Millet

Tennessee Golden Millet No. 853—

(Illustrated) — Before the big war this variety was known as
German Millet. We like the present name much better. It is
an important large yielding and most nutritious hay crop,
quick-growing and easily cured. It ought to be seeded thickly—
not less than one bushel to the acre — and the crop should be
cut while in bloom before the seed hardens i n the head. If
the seed is allowed to form, the stalks get hard and do not
make nearly as good quality hay, and at the same time it is
more exhaustive to the soil. It can be sown any time from the
middle of April until the end of July, although some farmers
sow earlier, while others continue planting during August.
It’s a quick crop, matures in six to eight weeks after seeding.
Don’t sow too early as it does not grow oil well until the soil
and weather get warm.

Lots of our farmers are sowing Golden Millet with Cow-
peas for a hay crop. When planted in this way, it should be
some quick-maturing variety of cowpeas, such as the Whip-
poorwill or New Era, and should be sown at the rate of three-
quarters of a bushel of Millet and one bushel of Cowpeas to the
acre. It is necessary, when these crops are sown together, to
cut the crop at the time that the Millet is ready to cut for hay
regardless of the maturity of the Cowneas. Sown together in
this way, they make a much larger yield than either crop alone,
and cure up and make splendid, nutritious hay.

Our Tennessee Grown Recleaned Golden Millet Seed is
worth fully 50c per bushel more than the ordinary Western
stock offered bv seedsmen in the South. It will stand more
drouth and produce bigger crops. Very little of the Millet seed
sold in the South today is true-to-name stock. It's better to be
safe than sorry — order from Reuter this year, without fail.

Prices: Large pkt., 10c; lb., 26c; 2 lbs., 45c; 5 lbs.,

Manitoba Hog Millet No. 854 — i

_Grows
from 3

to 6 feet tall. Produces large heads and larger seed than any
other Millet. Seeds are large and contain a high percentage
of oil. The seeds have a higher feeding value per pound than
our common corn. This plant always produces a heavy head
of seed. The seeds furnish the best of all foods for all poultry.

It has produced as high as 75 bushels of seed per acre. One great feature of this
Millet is that the seed ripens before the straw, so that it may be cut and bound
as wheat or oats, threshed, and a nice green crop of hay put up ; while the seed may
be housed and be fed separately as grain. This plant is an annual, and like other
Millets, must be planted each season. By beginning to sow with early corn plant-
ing and keep up sowing first of every month up to September 1st, we can have
fine green foliage for our stock all summer.

Prices: Large pkt., 10c; lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c; 5 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. Not

Pearl or Cat-Tail Millet Heads

Pearl, or Cat-Tail Millet No. 855 —

(Pencillaria) — One of the best and most nutritious of con-
tinuous cutting green forage plants. Needs no introduction
to our friends who have purchased our seed for the past ten
years without a single failure. Produces as much as 100 tons
of green forage per acre. It will grow 10 to 12 feet high, but
cutting can he commenced when it has attained the height of
3 to 4 feet, when it will stool out enormously, and make rapid
growth; can be cut in this way three or four times in a season.
It is largely used by dairymen and others who have cattle for
furnishing them with green feed through the summer, as if a
sufficient quantity is sown, it can be cut as desired, furnishing
a daily supply of green feed until killed by freezing. It can be
fed either green or cured as dry forage, making a most nutriti-
ous feed, which is relished by all kinds of stock. Sow thinly
in rows 3 feet apart at the rate of 8 to 10 pounds to the acre.
It is a tropical plant and requires warm soil and warm weather
to germinate well and grow off to best advantage.

Prices: Large pkt., 10c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 5 lbs.,

Chufas, or Earth Almonds No. 815—

The ehufa is a species of ground nut, sometimes called the
earth aimond. Chufas are very prolific and when properly
planted and cultivated the ground is thoroughly permeated
with the nutritious nuts. These make excellent feed for hogs.
This feed remains in the ground without rotting throughout
the winter. This is a great advantage, as then the hog can
gather his own feed. Thus, from September to April, you have
a granary for your hogs in the ground.

Rows for chufas should be as narrow as can conveniently
be cultivated, about 2 14 or 3 feet. The distance in the drill
should be 8 to 10 inches. The seed should be covered 1 ightly
in well-broken and harrowed land. The amount of fertilizer
that should be used is determined by the nature and condi-
tion of the soil. For average land, 200 pounds to the acre is
sufficient. A bushel of cbufa seed will easily plant 2 J4 acres.
Chufas do not require much cultivation and are easily culti-
vated, as the above-ground part of the plant stands upright.
Chufas are extremely

scarce and high. Our lim-
ited stock is exceptionally
fine. Prices: Lb., 35c; 2

does not have some Jerusalem Artichokes to feed
is neglecting one of the most important hog-food
crops. It fattens hogs quickly, and it is said by
many hog raisers that hogsfedon Jerusalem Arti-
chokes have never been known to have cholera.

Only a small quantity of seed is required to plant
an acre. Three to foiir bushels per acre are suffi-
cient. The tubers should be cut into small pieces,
and not more than two of these should be put in a

hill. The hills may be from 2 to 4 feet apart. Five hundred bushels have been yielded off an acre, and,
sometimes considerably more. Milk cows do well when fed on the roots and stalks. The crop is not a
bit hard to eradicate. Plant during March and April during the spring and your stock will improve

GOOD GRASSES FOR SOUTHERN FARMS

Sudan NTr» jOK .Sudan Grass is grown for hay. It was obtained in 1909 from the Sudan Govern-

_ — , — 1 uuual1 vji ar>o i’U- OAO ment at Khartum as the result of a systematic search for a form of Johnson

Grass without root storks. It can best be described by saying that it has all the good qualities of Johnson Grass with a
lot more of its own added, and while it looks like an extra tall growing strain of Johnson Grass, it has not a single bad
quality of Johnson Grass, such as the creeping underground root stocks. It can no more become a pest on your farm than
sorghum or millet. Sudan Grass is strictly an annual. It grows to a height of 3 to 5 feet when sown broadcast for hay,

and 5 to 8 feet in cultivated rows. Broadcast sowings are generally preferred for hay and the cultivated rows for seed

-6- purposes. Sudan Grass requires a warm climate for its best development and is of most value as an emergency hay crop,

being superior to millet for this purpose in the South. In irrigated sections of the Southwest, Sudan Grass yields practically
* as much hay as alfalfa and is very useful in providing a variety of roughage for dairy cows. The best time to < ut Sudan

Grass for hay is when it is in full head, but the grass can be harvested somewhat earlier or later than this with no material
loss in feeding value. Sudan Grass is a good soiling crop but is of minor value for silage. The hay is equal in feeding
value to that of timothy, millet, or Johnson Grass. It is being utilized more and more as a summer pasture in the Southern
states, and is valuable as a pasture in the irrigated districts of the Southwest. Feeding experiments have shown Sudan
Grass to be an excellent roughage for work animals and stock cattle and only slightly less valuable than alfalfa for milk
cows. Sudan Grass is a wonder in its “stooling out” qualities and we certainly expect to see the time w'hen it will supersede
the different varieties of sorghum for hay and forage crops in the South. Sudan Grass hybridizes freely wdth the sorghums,
and care is necessary to keep it from becoming a mongrel crop. Be sure to obtain your Sudan Grass seed from a reliable
source. Our stock is of the highest purity and germination and absoluetly free from Johnson Grass or sorghums. For
a hay crop, sow 15 to 20 pounds per acre. For growing a seed crop, plant thinly in rows 18 inches apart, using 5 to 6
pounds of seed per acre. For broadcasting Sudan Grass seed there is no better machine than the Cahoon Seeder, listed
on page 48. When seeding in rows, an ordinary grain drill will fill all requirements. Write to the Department of Agri-

than timothy. In places where its growth can be controlled and kept from spreading into cultivated fields, there is no
other grass that makes such enormous yields of hay. Plant as soon as frost disappears, through June, at the rate
of 40 to 50 pounds to the acre. It should be cut or mowed just when seed heads begin to form, and it furnishes 3 to 4
cuttings per season. Withstands drouth ; yields heavy crops year after year without reseeding. There is a great demand

Bermuda Grass is unquestionably the best summer pasture grass known in the South. It occupies the same relative
“position in this section that Blue Grass does in the North. It should be made the basis for pasture mixtures on all
soils except the very light sands. It is permanent in its existence on fertile soils, endures long periods of

drouth without much injury, is benefitted rather than injured by the grazing and trampling of stock, and

furnishes as nutritious a feed as most other grasses. No other plant has been found that is more suitable for
gullied hillsides, to prevent washing and to cover up the scars of erosion. It flourishes in sunshine, but will tss&’f ' AUkA)

not endure much shade. For this reason, it should not be used in woodland pasture. The seed is best sown
on a well prepared seed bed in March or April. 8 to 10 pounds of seed to the acre is sufficient, as the seed

with the pods set close to the base. Can be planted in rows, or in corn anywhere the other Velvets can be grown. It
grows from 2 to 3 feet high, branching 2 to 6 feet, depending on the soil. Planted in the middle of 5-foot corn rows, it will
fill the whole middle, but does not twine around or even strangle the corn. It grows up and stands sturdily as a bush.
It matures about the same time as the Early Speckle — the seeds are a little smaller and a little darker. Easily harvested
for hay. Bush or Bunch Velvet Beans stand drouth better than the other sorts and carry a big root system. Makes
splendid hay. Stock seems to prefer it to the climbing varieties. The beans are commonly planted to alternate rows with
corn and harvested in the fall after frost. One bushel will plant in corn middles about four acres. Broadcast one bushel
to the acre when planted alone, and they will make two or three times more hay per acre than cowpeas. Vines can be cut
down, piled up, and beans can be picked later, and the remaining forage can be fed.

VelvA Beans and is well adapted for growing in districts further North than
Velvet Beans ordinarily have been grown. You can plant these beans during
May and June, and they will mature in time for fall planting, a quick September
grazer, or for turning under to take advantage of its wonderful soil-improving
features. It is one of the most prolific of all sorts, and a dependable variety for
you to plant. There is nothing that equals our seed of this variety, being abso-

shortly become the most largely planted of all varieties. It has been pronounced
as the greatest of all Velvet Beans by most practical farmers. A hybrid of the
100-day or Early Speckle and the Yokohama. It is larger than the Early Speckle,
more productive and earlier. Produces as much foliage, hut is free of the itching
fuzz that makes other Velvet Beans so disagreeable to pick. Costs less to pick
and can be picked much easier. Commences to get ripe about September 1st,
and largely ripens before the 15th. The leaves shed about October 1st, and this
makes the bean pod and corn gathering easy. Blooms mostly purple. The beans
are speckled like the 100-day, but twice the size, producing a pod as large as the
“Chinese.” Pods are 5 inches long, carrying usually six big beans. The bunches
often carry as many as 25 pods, and are often double-jointed, in many cases having
two bunches to the joint. It is the best variety for fertilizer, crushing, or grind-
ing. It is the best yielder of seed of any variety.

SOY BEANS— A SPLENDID FORAGE CROP

PlllflirP The land should be prepared as for cowpeas, and the seed planted in drills

at sufficient distance to permit one or two cultivations. One bushel of seed will
plant two or three acres, the amount depending on the distance between the rows. The planting
should be shallow, never more than 2 inches, or many of the seeds will decay. This is a very
important point to remember. Inoculation with soil from any old Soy Bean field is not usually
necessary in the South. Rabbits are exceedingly fond of the young plants and sometimes cause
serious injury to the crop when the field is near woods. If wanted for hay the crop should
be cut when the upper leaves begin to turn yellow, but if wanted for seed the gathering should be
delayed until nearly all the leaves have fallen. The hay is easily cured and is fully as nutritious
as that from cowpeas.

New Laredo Soy Bean No. 711— ffij

crops of the Cotton Belt. Its value, when compared to other soy beans, is in the fineness of its
stems, its yield of hay, its medium early maturity, and its heavy yield of seed. As a hay yielder,
this bean is outstanding. A heavy yield of seed means economy in producing the seed crop'for the
next year. As compared with Cowpeas, the Laredo Soy Bean will yield from 2 to 3 times as much
seed per acre. It is much easier to harvest, and, in seeding, only from one-sixth to one-eighth the
amount of seed per acre required for Cowpeas, is necessary. The Laredo Soy Bean is a medium
early variety with a growing habit somewhat like the O-Too-Tan, in that its bushy growth consists
of a large number of fine stems, though unlike the O-Too-Tan, in that the stems put out at the
ground and are heavily fruited from the base to the tips of the branches. It is both wilt resistant
and nematode resistant, making it suited to a wider range of soils and farm uses than any other
variety. As a soil builder it ranks favorably with other summer legumes making equal growth.
It is ascertain fruiter and a good crop is assured where it is given a fair showing. Laredo Soy Beans
may be planted from the earliest cotton planting date to the first of July with reasonable certainty
of a good crop. The larger yields may be expected on the earlier planting. The seed of the Laredo
are very small and one bushel will plant from 8 to 10 acres in 2)4 ft. rows. The seed should be
dropped 3 to 6 inches apart in the drill for seed and somewhat closer for hay. The seed should be
covered very lightly, not more than one inch, and it is best to plant following a season. It is advis-
able to inoculate soy beans that are to be planted on land that has not grown this crop for several
years. The Centrafof Georgia Railway is a big factor in interesting numerous farmers in its territory
to plant liberally of this super-fine variety. We are indebted to its Agricultural Division for the
authentic description of this variety, based on their practical knowledge from actual crops produced
along its lines.

sort. It takes longer than some to mature its grain, but it makes a "whale” of a plant. It is a
heavy yielder, and not easily shattered in harvesting. Planted in the row with corn for silage,
it usually grows 6 feet high. For grazing, for hogging down with corn, for soiling, it is unexcelled.
As a soil improver it has no equal. Grows normally 5 to 6 feet high, and broad in proportion. On
its roots are a mass of nitrogen nodules, many of them the size of marbles. It is an erect, up-
standing plant having no runners to wrap up everything in sight. This means something to the
orchardist who wants a cover crop to cover the ground only. The Biloxi will make good hay if
planted late, in 3-foot rows, and thick enough in the drill to subdue its natural growth. It does
well on all kinds of lands. Should be planted in rows from 3 to 5 feet apart, and 10 inches apart

in the drill. 1 to 2 inches is the right depth. Use 6 to 8 pounds to the acre in 3-foot rows. Half

_This is the hay bean par excellence. It is a beautiful fast growing plant, growing 4 to 5 feet high, with fine
stems and delicate leaves. It does not shatter in harvesting either its leaves or grain. It cures very quickly
and makes hay of fine texture, and splendid quality. For silage or forage, it runs a dead heat with the Biloxi. For hay or grain combined, it is the class of the Soy
Bean family and leads the field. The O-Too-Tan is a shiny, jet black bean, rather small and one-half peck plants an acre. Plant in rows 2 y2 to 3 feet apart, 4 to 8

inches apart in drill, any time in this latitude from April 1st until the end of July.
They can be cut when "just beginning to turn, and cured in the regulation way; or
left until pods are almost ripe if wanted for grain. It is really hard to describe the
O-Too-Tan without extravagance. Compare with cowpeas, for example, one-
fourth the amount of seed will produce double the amount of hay, that can be cured
in half the time and handled with infinitely less trouble. Besides that, when
grown for seed, the O-Too-Tan will outyield cowpeas more than two to one, and
its seed is weevil-proof. Compared with velvet beans it makes a better cover
crop of greater tonnage, does not overrun trees or fence, and can be cut for hay if
wanted, which the velvet bean cannot without great difficulty.

REUTER’S PEERLESS FLOWER SEEDS

It has always been our effort to make our Flower Seed and Bulb Department the most efficient and complete
in the South. It is conducted with the sole purpose of supplying Southern gardens with real honest-to-goodness,
first class flower seeds and bulbs, varieties that will grow and make good in the South. Located in Dixieland,
we are acquainted with the climatic conditions prevailing, and our extensive trials make it possible for us to offer
to our Southern flower friends just the assortments that will thrive in their gardens.

A good many flowers offered by Northern seed houses will not do at all in our semi-tropical climate and will
only cause disappointment. Send your order to us, and you will have the protection of getting seeds that wil*
do right, if treated right.

The seeds we are offering you on the following pages are especially grown for us by the most reputable
European and American growers, who have made the production of quality flower seeds their life work. You
will therefore understand that we offer you nothing but the best in each particular line. If you are not a regular
customer, give us a trial this year, and we are sure you will become a regular customer.

Even the best of us will have failures now and then. It cannot be otherwise. Still, we are aware that a
great many disappointments are caused by inexperience. As a human being must be cared for and protected
during its infancy, so it is with flowers. The seedlings cannot be left to care for themselves. They must be given
the proper care until they are strong enough to withstand the variable mood of the elements.

To assist in spreading practical information about growing of flowers throughout the South, we have pre-
pared a brief bulletin giving careful and dependable suggestions as to planting and cultivation of a flower garden.
It is yours for asking.

flowering bulb with large
fragrant amaryllis-like flow-
ers crowned in a cluster on
the strong stem. The color
is a pure white. It starts to
bloom three to four weeks
after it has been planted.
Fine for borders, in front of
shrubberies or for growing in
pots.

Strong bulbs: 25c each
34 doz., $1.35; doz., $2.50.

Last spring I purchased from you a One Dol-
lar Collecion of Gladioli bulbs. I was much
pleased with the bulbs, all large and fine, much
belter than I expected at that price. The real sur-
prise came, however, when the bulbs grew and
produced blooms. The plants were unusually
large and strong and of fine dark green color.
Some of the bulbs grew three flower stalks, many
of them two, and the flowers were simply wonder-
ful in size, color and varieties. 1 did not expect
one could get so much in the way of beautiful
gladioli blooms for a dollar anywhere. They were
all beauties, a surprise to me from first to last and
a delight and a wonder to my friends.

Fancy Leaved Galadiums

For planting in shady places under large trees or
among shrubberies and for growing in shady porch
boxes, we do not know of anything more satisfactory

formed into a beauty spot through use of these

requiring very little attention except liberal watering.

Petunias For generations these dependable flowers have brought

beauty and cheer to countless homes. In spite of their
delicate appearance they remain unaffected by heat and drought and
bloom on and on throughout the hottest summer. For massing in beds
or borders the old fashioned Petunias with their bushy growth and
wealth of flowers are preferable. What, for intance, is prettier than
a compact bed of Petunia Rosy Morn?

The new Giant-flowered and double varieties with their more ranky
growth are excellent for p'anting in porch and window boxes between
green foliaged plants. Their large bright colored blooms will give life
to the boxes. They are also desirable for massing in large beds and
make excellent pot plants.

Note: All prices are postpaid.

REUTER’S SUPERB MIXTURE No. 1820—

A grand mixture of medium sized flowers made up with
the greatest care. Special attention is given to the color
effect and all shades of white, pink, crimson, blue and
deep purple as well as many beautiful combinations
are found herein. Fine for mixed beds ami hanging
baskets. Pkt., 10c; J4 oz., 35c; J4 oz., 60c; oz., $1.00.

GIANT OF CALIFORNIA MIXED COLORS
No. 1822 — A special strain of this popular Giant flowered
Petunia. The flowers measure up to six inches across
and come in many lovely shades and markings generally
beautifully veined. Not quite such profuse bloomers
as their smaller flowering sisters, but the enormous size
of the flowers more than outweigh this disadvantage.

Pkt., 25c

FLUFFY RUFFLES CHOICE MIXTURE
No. 1824 — The Fluffy Ruffles Petunias represent no
doubt the finest single flowering Petunias of today. They
are strong, robust growers and the immense flowers are
beautifully ruffled. The edges of the petals are finely
fringed giving the flowers a light and delicate appearance.

A fine blend of pleasing shades. If you are particular
about getting only the very best in Petunias, try this
magnificent strain. Pkt., 35c.

Culture — The seeds may be sown from January to May in the
latitude of New Orleans. We recommend, especially for
the expensive giant-flowered varieties, that the seed be started in pro-
tected seed beds or boxes, using a finely worked soil. Barely cover the
seeds and keep soil moist, but do not soak it. When the plants are
ready, transplant to about one foot apart. The less expensive varieties
are frequently sown broadcast in the beds or borders they are to occupy,
and the seeds worked a little into the ground with a rake. This is
naturally the easiest way but there is the risk of having the seed
washed away by heavy rains, making replanting necessary.

HOWARD'S STAR No. 1826— A striking free-
flowering variety of fine texture. The color is a crimson
maroon with a finely rayed star of blush pink. Pkt. ,10c;
J4 oz., 40c.

KERMESINA No. 1830 — A taller growing variety
with flowers measuring about 3 inches across. The
color is a deep crimson. Very free-flowering and fine
for large massed beds. Pkt., 10c; x/i oz., 45c.

ROSE OF HEAVEN No. 1831— A dwarf compact
growing variety especially adapted for bedding purposes.
The flowers are of a brilliant rose color. Very fine
variety. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c.

ROSY MORN No. 1832— Of all Petunias this is the
most extensively used for bedding purposes. Their
short and bushy growth make them admirably adapted
for massing. Tney are profuse bloomers with flowers
of a soft carmine pink turning to white in the throat.
Pkt., 10c; % oz., 40c.

SNOWBALL No. 1833 — A fine compact grower
producing its abundance of satiny-white flowers through-
out the season. Fine for massing or for bordering beds of
tall growing bright, colored flowers. Pkt., 10c; fi oz., 40c.

VIOLACEA No. 1834 — A beautiful deep violet blue
Petunia with flowers measuring about 3 inches across.

German "Rathaus Petunia.” The large flowers are
of a deep violet color and measure about 5 inches
across. Extra fine for porch and window boxes as
well as for hanging baskets. Pkt., 25c.

REUTER’S GIANT DOUBLE MIXTURE
No. 1840 — No doubt the most popular of all Pe-
tunias. Their large flowers are double right to the
center and come in many lov fly shades and colors.
Our seed comes to us from a famous European spe-
cialist and represents the best procurable. As you
may know, however, the best of seed cannot be ex-
pected to produce more than about 30% double
flowers, the balance will be large single flowering.
Take good care of your weaker plants, especially
those whose leaves have a yellowish tint, as they
usually produce the finest double flowers. Pkt., 30c.

I wish you could see my beautiful Zinnias
grown from seed bought from you in the spring.
They are the admiration of the town, one of its

SOW REUTER’S SUPERB SWEET PEAS

Sweet Peas
Early Spencer
Hercules

We do not know of any annual that has undergone such development since it
was first brought under cultivation, or gained such popularity, as the Sweet Pea.
There is scarcely any place in the civilized world where Sweet Peas are not now
extensively grown and admired.

For early planting, we recommend the ordinary or late flowering class as this
is the more hardy. For later planting it is advisable to use the early flowering,
as they are about four weeks earlier, thereby allowing a longer time of blooming
before the heat, kills the vine.

Our Sweet Peas seeds are produced from the finest selected stock seed and
are true to name and type. All prices on this page are postpaid.

Reuter’s Spencer or Orchid Flowered Sweet Peas —

Hints on Growing
Zinnias.

For the best results
Zinnias should be given
well drained and rich
ground. Poor soil will
always produce pool- flow-
ers no matter how good
the seed you may sow.

It is our experience,
that the best flowers are
produced from seed sown
right out in the beds or
borders. Transplanting
seems to have a tendency
to dwarf the plants and
decrease the size of the
flowers.

Reuter’s Giant
Double Zinnias.

For home gardens and public
places we cannot too highly
recommend this special strain.
It produces very large and per-
fectly double flowers and is the
result of many years of pains-
taking work.

Stocks — Mammoth Beauty of Nice

ANTIGONON (Mountain Rose) No. 1145 —

The Antigonon with its delicate and graceful growth is no doubt the
most lovely of our typical Southern vines. The foliage is of a fresh
light green color and the flower racemes reach often a length of two feet
or more. Unsurpassed for covering porches, fences, old tree stumps,
etc. Blooms in September and October. The Antigonon is a native
of Mexico, where it grows wild in the mountains. From a distance it
resembles a rambler rose, hence the nick name.

Culture: Start seed early indoors in pots or boxes. When

weather is warm and settled transplant to permanent location. The
Antigonon is a perennial vine, but not evergreen except during very mild
winters. Generally the frost kills it to the ground, but it will grow up
again next spring.

Pkt., 10c; 34 oz., 35c; 34 oz., 60c.

Culture : Sow thinly in shady
seed beds or boxes filled with a
finely sifted soil. Transplant when

Stocks -Few flowers deserve more popularity than the stocks.

They are easily grown and well adapted for massing or for
planting in mixed borders or beds. They produce a great number of
flowers of delightful fragrance, and their lasting quality make them
especially well fitted for cutting. Our seeds come from the best speci-
alists and can be relied upon to give a large number of double flowers.

Culture: The seed should be started early indoors in flats
or boxes. Barely cover and keep soil moist. When the plants are
about 3 inches high transplant to permanent location setting them 8-12 inches apart.

produce throughout the season innumerable flowers of the richest colors
and are fine for massing in beds and borders or for making carpet designs. Also extensively
used for edging or rock-work. They are easily raised and their great resistance to heat and
drought make them rank as one of our very best summer flowers.

REUTER’S GLADIOLI

Of all spring flowering bulbs the Gladioli comes first in rank. They are now so popular
that they can be called “everybody’s flower.” They lend a wonderful effect to the garden
when massed in large beds and borders and their value as cut flowers needs no recommenda-
tion.

During the last few years we have had an enormous increase in the demand for our Glad-
ioli. As there is a reason for everything, there must be a reason for this. In bulbs, as in
seeds, it has always been our endeavor to supply our friends and patrons with only the best
stock obtainable in size and quality. We receive from our grower nothing but strictly first
size bulbs, bulbs measuring If inches in diameter and over. No smaller bulbs are accepted.
Therefore, we supply our customers with nothing but the cream of the crop.

Naturally, it would be impossible for us to list all the many hundred varieties of Gladioli
that are now originated and offered to the trade by the specialists. The space here is too
limited. We believe, however, in the varieties that we list below that we offer an assort-
ment that ought to satisfy the most critical taste. Besides all the best and most admired
of the older varieties, it contains some fine and rare novelties.

SEEDS FOR THE SOUTH

DAHLIAS FOR SOUTHERN GARDENS

Dahlias may be grown very successfully in the South and splendid results obtained if the proper varieties are chosen and a little attention
is given to the most advisable time for planting. Dahlias, for Spring blooming, should be planted during January and February in this latitude,
but, as Dahlias are tender plants, care should be taken that they are protected against frost. Late planting we find to be the easiest and
most desirable. The bulbs are planted during the latter part of May and the month of June. They will then bloom during Fall and produce
their mass of flowers until checked by the frost. We have, during the last few years, tried out more than a thousand different kinds and the
assortment we offer for sale has been carefully selected as the very best for our section. Besides the varieties below, we list some very rare sorts
on page 72.
