TO THE TRADE — How to Order By Mail NAM£ AND ADDRESS SHOULD ALWAYS BE GIVEN. — Frequently we receive unsigned let- ters. Sometimes they contain money and orders. Sometimes too, letters are received in which the name of the town is left out and the postmark is blurred. We cannot fill orders unless we know the name and address of the buyer. The easiest way for you is to use our order sheet filling in the blanks. When customers fail to receive their goods in a reasonable time they should write us, and at the same time send a copy of their order, naming the date on which the former one was sent, and the amount of money enclosed, and in what form. This will enable us to investigate the matter. CASH WITH ORDER. — The proper way is to send remittance in full to cover order and post- age. We send orders C. O. D. only if 25 per cent of the amount of order is enclosed. Plants we never send out C. O. D. HOW TO SEND MONEY. — Remittances may be made by any of the following methods, viz: Postal Money Order, Draft on Salt Lake City, or Express Company’s Money Order, or cash may be sent by Registered Letter. Remittances sent in any other way are entirely at the sender’s risk. Small amounts may be fcent in two cent postage stamps. WHEN TO ORDER — We endeavor, when placing our catalogue in the hands of our regular customers, early in January, to have our stock of seeds, etc., complete in every respect; and those of our patrons who favor us with their orders early are sure of receiving prompt attention, and assist us in reducing the heavy strain which always occurs as the season advances. Order early and av«-id delays. USE THE ORDER SBTOET. — In each copy of our catalogue we place an order sheet. It will aid us greatly if you will make your order out upon it, using one line for each article ordered, and as far as possible wr te them in the way they are catalogued, beginning at the front. We will gladly furnish you additional order sheets if you write for them. NOTICE CAREFULLY' THE PRICES. — Be sure to know whether we or you are to pay the freight or express, and bear in mind that we do not pay the express or freight charges except when quoted prepaid, nor on farm seeds, poultry supplies, etc. THE PRICES WE QUOTE on vegetable and flower seeds will hold good as long as stocks last. The prices on grass seed, grains and all farm seeds and poultry supplies are those ruling January 1st, 1925 and are subject to change. A3 far as possible we will fill in full all orders that are quoted subject to variations in price, but if market values will not permit this, we will send all that money remitted will pay for. FREE OF POSTAGE OR EXPRESS CHARGES. — Packets, ounces, quarter pounds or pounds, ordered at list prices, will be sent free by mail or express, and upon all goods quoted in our cata- logue, where it says: Prepaid by Mail or Express. Customers ordering enough for a freight shipment, 100 pounds or more, or desiring to pay their own mail or express charges, may deduet 10 cents per pound from prices in this catalogue on all seeds quoted by the pound. SEED BY' WEIGHT. — We supply half pound and over at pound rates; less half pound lots are charged at ounce, or quarter pound rates; 25 lbs. and over at 100 lb. rates when quoted. PARCELS POST. — A new and adequate Parcels Post law now applies to shipments of seeds, bulbs, plants and poultry supplies (except poisons and liquids). Packages are subject to a limit or maximum weight in the first, second and third zones of 70 lbs.; and in all other zones, fourfh to eighth, of 50 lbs. The maximum size of a package is 72 inches for combined length and largest girth. Insurance will be effected only when asked for and remitted for as follows: Parcels to the value of $25 or under for 5c; to the value of $25 to $50 for 10c. We recommend that you include with your remittance this insurance fee; it not only as- sures quicker delivery, but protects you in case the goods are lost in the mails. ZONE RATES may be had by application to your postmaster, who will tell you the zone which you are in with reference to Salt Lake City, or we will tell you as nearly as we can if you write us.

FOR PARCELS CONTAINING FOURTH CLASS MATTER — other than the above — up to four ounces is permitted to all zones at 1 cent per oz. (Over 4 oz. the above zone rates apply.) NON-WARRANTY. — Complaints made that seeds are not good, should qqite as often be at- tributed to other causes, as to the quality of the seeds. There are many contingencies continually arising, to prevent the best seeds always giving satisfaction, such as sowing too deep, too shallow, in too wet or too dry soil; insects of all descriptions destroying the plants as soon as or before they appear; wet weather, cold weather, frosts, chemical changes in the seeds induced by temperature, etc. For the above reasons it is impracticable to guarantee seeds under all circumstances. We do not give, and our agents and employees are forbidden to give, any warranty, express or implied as to description, quality, productiveness or any other matter of any seeds, plants or bulbs we send out and we will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods on these conditions, he must notify us at once and we will give instructions for disposition. The acceptance of seeds under these conditions shall constitute your consent to the purchase. January, 1925.

NAMES POST OFFICE STATE DESCRIPTIVE LIST SEASON 1925 OF NEW AND CHOICE VEGETABLE SEEDS To Our Friends and Patrons It again becomes our pleasure to submit for your consideration our Annual Catalog and Price List. We, at this time, wish to express our sincere appreciation to our many customers for their liberal patronage in the past, and to emphasize the importance of purchasing your season’s needs early. Seed stocks this season are very short indeed, many items will not be avail- able at all and some only in limited amounts. In consequence prices are higher than they have been in years. Our quotations will be found as low as First Class Stocks can be sold for, and in most cases they include postage or express charges prepaid to your door. We assure our customers that every order, large or small, will receive prompt and careful attention, and so far as lies within our power, we shall endeavor to make every purchaser a satisfied one. Trusting that 1925 will bring increased measure of prosperity and happiness to all our friends and cus- tomers, we remain, Very truly, VOGELER SEED CO. 2 VOGELER SEED COMPANY’S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE THE ESSENTIALS TO THE PRODUCTION OF CHOICE VEGETABLES AND BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS. GOOD SOIL. A rich, sandy loam is the best, but a fair de- gree of success may be secured from any soil which can be made rich and friable. Good veg- etables cannot be grown on barren sand, a cold, hard, lumpy clay, nor in the shade of orchard or other trees. LIBERAL MANURING. A soil which does not need enriching in order to produce the best results is rarely found and very often success is in proportion to the liber- ality with which fertilizers have been used. Well decomposed stable manure, where straw bedding has been used, is the best; that where sawdust is used is not so good. Often wood ashes, at the rate of one peck to one bushel to the square rod, will be of great benefit. Com- mercial fertilizers are excellent, and may be used at the rate of four to twelve pounds to the square rod, and the more concentrated forms — such as Nitrate of Soda, Guano, Dried Blood and Potash Salts — at the rate of one to six pounds to the rod. A mass or lump of any of the commercial fertilizers, even If It is but a quarter of inch in diameter, is liable to kill any seed or young plant, which comes in con- tact with it, so it is very important that they be thoroughly pulverized and mixed with the soil. THOROUGH PREPARATION. Rich soil and liberal manuring will avail lit- tle without thorough preparation. The soil must be made friable by thorough and judici- ous working; if this is well done all that fol- lows will be easy; if it is neglected, only par- tial success is possible, and that at the cost of a great deal of hard work. The garden should be well plowed or dug to a good depth, taking care, if it is a clay soil, that the work is not done when it is too wet. If a handful from the furrow moulds with slight pressure into a ball which cannot be easily crumbled into fine earth again, the soil is too wet, and If stirred then will be hard to work all summer. The surface should be made as fine and smooth as possible with the harrow or rake. It is generally necessary to plow the whole garden at once, and to do this in time for the earliest crops, but the part which is not planted for some weeks should be kept mellow by frequent cultivation. GOOD SEEDS, PROPERLY PLANTED. There is no more prolific source of disappoint- ment and failure among amateur gardener's than hasty, careless or improper sowing of the seed. The seed consists of a minute plant, mi- nus the root, with a sufficient amount of food stowed in or around it to sustain it until it can expand its leaves, form roots and provide for itself, the whole inclosed in a hard and more or less impervious shell. To secure germination, moisture, heat and a certain amount of air are necessary. The first steps are the softening of the hard outer shell and the leaves of the plant from the absorption of water, and the changing of the plant food from the form of starch to that of sugar. In the first condition the food is easily preserved unchanged, but the plant cannot use it, while in its sugary condi- tion it is easily appropriated but perishable, and if not used it speedily decays Itself and causes decay in the plant. A dry seed may re- tain its vitality and remain unchanged for years, but after germination has commenced, a check of a day or two in the process may be fatal. There is no time in the life of a plant when it is so susceptible to fatal injury from the over-abundance or want of sufficient heat and moisture as at that between the commence- ment of germination and the formation of the first true leaves, and it is just then that it needs the aid of a gardener to secure favorable conditions. These are: First — A proper and constant degree of mois- ture. The soil should always be moist, never wet. This is secured by making the surface of freshly dug soil so fine and the pressing it over the seeds so firmly with the feet or the back of the hoe that the degree of moisture remains as nearly uniform as possible. Second — A proper degree of heat, secured by sowing the seed when the temperature of the soil is that most favorable to the germination of the seed of that particular plant. Too high a temperature is often as detrimental as one too low. The proper temperature for each sort may be learned from a careful study of the following pages and the experience of the most sucessful gardeners in your vicinity. Third — Covering the seed to such a depth that while a uniform degree of heat and mois- ture is preserved, the necessary air can readily reach the germinating seed, and the tiny stem push the forming leaves into the light and air. This depth will vary with different seeds and conditions of the soil, and can be learned only from practical experience. In general, seeds of the size of the turnip should not be covered with more than half an inch of earth pressed down, while corn may be an inch, beans one to two inches, and peas one to four inches deep. Fourth — Such a condition of soil that the as- cending stem can easily penetrate it, and the young roots speedily find suitable food. We can usually secure this by thorough prepara- tion of the ground, and taking care never to sow fine seeds when the ground is wet. Occa- sionally a heavy or long continued rain fol- lowed by a bright sun will so bake and crust the surface that it Is impossible for the young plant to find its way through it, or a few days of strong wind will so dry the ground that the young plants will be killed. In such cases the only remedy is to plant again. JUDICIOUS CULTIVATION. Not only should every weed be removed as soon as it appears, but the crust which forms after a rain should be broken up and the ground stirred as soon as it is dry enough to permit it. The more frequently and deeply the soil is stirred while the plants are young, the better, but as they develop and the roots oc- cupy the ground, cultivation should be shal- lower, until it becomes a mere stirring of the surface. We have seen hundreds of acres of vegetables where the yield and quality have been materially lowered by injudiciously deep and close cultivation after the roots of the plants had fully occupied the ground. A very small garden, well cultivated and cared for, will give larger returns and be in every way more satisfactory than a much larger one poorly prepared and neglected. VOGELER SEED COMPANY’S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE 3 HOW TO BUILD AND MANAGE HOT-BEDS. FOR early vegetables some provision for starting certain plants earlier than can be done in the open air is desirable; for this pur- pose nothing is better than a good hot-bed, and its construction is so simple and the expense so slight that every garden should have one. A hot-bed proper not only protects the plants from the cold, but supplies bottom heat. By this term the gardener means that the soil is constantly kept several degrees warmer than the air above, that being the condition, so far as heat is concerned, which is most favorable for rapid and vigorous growth, and gardeners usually secure it by making a compact pile of some fermenting material and covering it with the earth in which plants are to grow. HEATING MATERIAL..— The best heating material that is easily available is fresh horse manure, containing a liberal quantity of straw bedding. Such manure, if thrown into a loose pile, will heat violently and unevenly, and will soon become cold. What is wanted in the hot- bed is a steady and moderate but lasting heat. To secure this, the manure should be forked over, shaken apart and, if dry, watered and al- lowed to stand a few days and then be forked over again, piled and allowed to heat a second time, the object being to get the whole mass into a uniform degree of fermentation, and as soon as this is accomplished it is fit for use. SASH. — Gardeners commonly use sash made especially for hot-beds and glazed with small lights cut from odds and ends, and so furnished at very low rates. Such sash can usually be procured in any of our large cities, and costs much less than if made to order. For garden use, however, we much prefer a smaller sash that can be easily handled, and the use of larg- er and better glass. We would recommend that for home gardens, the sash be about two and one-half by four or five feet, and that the glass be not less than 10-14, laid with not more than one-quarter inch lap. In giving the order to one unaccustomed to the work, it would be well to state what they are to be used for, and that they need to be made like skylight sash. THE FRAME. — This may be made of sound one-inch lumber, the back twelve to fourteen inches high, the front ten to twelve. It should be well fitted to the sash, so as to leave as lit- tle opening as possible and yet allow the sash to be easily moved up and down, even when the frame is quite wet. THE SOIL. — This should be light, rich, fri- able. Any considerable amount of clay in it is very objectionable. If possible it should be unfrozen when put into the bed; for this rea- son, it is much better to prepare in the fall be- fore, and cover the pile with enough coarse manure or straw to keep out the frost. MAKING THE BED. — This requires careful attention, as future success depends largely up- on the manner in which this work is done. Hav- ing cleared away snow and ice, build a rec- tangular bed one foot larger each way than the frame to be used, carefully shaking out and spreading each forkful and repeatedly treading down the manure so as to make the bed as uni- form as possible in solidity, composition and moisture. It is of the utmost importance that this shaking apart and evenly pressing down of the manure should be carefully and thorough- ly done; unless it is, one portion will heat quicker than the others, and the soil will set- tle unevenly, making it impossible to raise good Plants The proper depth of the bed will vary with the climate, season and the kind of plants to be raised. A shallow bed will quickly give a high temperature, which will soon sub- side; a deeper one, if well made, will heat more moderately, but continue much longer. For general purposes, a bed about two feet deep will be best. The bed completed, the frame and sash may be put on, and fresh manure carefully packed ?_r°ut?d t,he outside to the very top — if the uis at all severe, this outside banking replenished as it settles. The bed J0# *£5 n „be allowed to stand with the sash ^ °Pei? ^or a or two to allow the steam and rank heat to pass off. The earth should then be put on and carefully leveled. Care should be taken that the soil is dry and friable. If wet or frozen soil must be used, it should be placed in small piles until well dried out be- fore spreading. The heat at first will be quite violent, frequently rising to 120 degrees; but it soon subsides, and when it recedes to 90 de- grees the seed may be planted. The importance of using dry soil and allowing the first rank heat to pass off is very great. Every season thousands of hot-beds fail of good results from these causes, and seedsmen are blamed for fail- ure resulting from overheat, or wet or soggy soil. MANAGEMENT OF THE BED. — The essen- tials for success are a steady, uniform degree of heat and moisture; keeping the soil at all times a few degrees warmer than the air and the careful “hardening off” (by exposure to the air and diminishing the supply of water) of the plants before transplanting into the open air. Simple as these may seem to be, there are many difficulties in the way of securing them, prominent among which are overheating the air under a bright sun. Without experience one would scarcely believe how quickly the temperature inside of a well built hot-bed will rise to 90 or 100 degrees upon a still sunny day, even when the temperature outside is far below freezing, or how quickly the tempera- ture will fall to that outside, if upon a windy cloudy day the sash Is left open ever so little. A rush of cold air driven over the plants is far more injurious than the same temperature when the ar is still. Again, in cloudy weather a bed will go several days without watering, but will dry up In an hour when open on a sunny day. The details of management, how- ever, must be learned by experience, but may be easily acquired by one who gives the matter careful attention, keeping constantly in mind the essentials given above. A COLD FRAME is a simple construction of boards for wintering over young plants — Cab- bage, Lettuce, Cauliflower, Brocoli, etc. — and is also extremely useful to protect and harden off plants from the greenhouse or hot-bed before fully exposing them in the open air. Select a dry, southern exposure, form a frame from four to six feet wide and as long as required. The back should be fourteen to eighteen inches high, and the front eight to twelve, with a cross-tie every three feet. The frame may be covered with sash or cloth. Seeds of the vegetable to be wintered, sown in open border early in September, will be ready to plant In cold frames about the last of October. The soil should be well prepared and smoothly raked before planting. Admit air freely on pleasant days, but keep closed in severe weather. TRANSPLANTING. — In transplanting, the main points to be regarded are: Care in taking up the plants, so as to avoid injury to the roots, planting firmly so as to enable the plant to take a secure hold of the soil, reducing the top to prevent evaporation, and shading to prevent the hot sun from withering and blight- ing the leaves. In transplanting from a hot- bed, harden the plants by letting them get quite dry a day or two before, but give an abundance of water a few hours before they are taken out. It is most apt to be successful if done just at evening or immediately before or during the first part of a rain — about the worst time being just after a rain, when, the ground being wet, it is impossible to suffi- ciently press it about the plant without its baking hard. If water is used at all, it should be used freely, and the wet surface immediate- ly covered with dry soil. WATERING. — The best time to water plants is between sunset and sunrise. Water may be given to the roots at any time, but should never be sprinkled over the leaves while they are exposed to bright sunshine. If watering a plant has been commenced, continue to sup- ply it as needed, or more injury than good will result from what has been given. One copious watering is better than many scanty sprink- lings. The ground should always be stirred with a hoe or rake as soon after watering as it can be done without making the soil muddy. 4 VOGELER SEED COMPANY’S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE Garden Seeds in Bulk Condensed Quantity Prices for Large Buyers and Market Gardeners.

When one year old, transplant to rows three feet apart and one foot apart in row. Where the winters are severe protect the plants with leaves or dry litter, to keep the crowns from freezing. Green Globe. Packet 10c; oz. 60c; 1-4 lb. $2.00; $7.50 lb. postpaid. Asparagus As Asparagus seed germinates very slowly, it is abvlsable to pour hot water over it. When cool, pour off the water and treat it again with hot water. Sow seed quite early in spring, in a bed of light, rich, well-manured soil, in drills one foot apart and two inches deep. When the plants are well up, thin to about one inch apart. When the plants become withered, cut them down, and spread well-rotted stable manure two inches deep over the bed. Let the plants remain in the seedbed until they are about to grow, early in spring. The subsoil of the permanent bed should be dry, and if not so, it must be well drained. It should be dug thoroughly at least two and a half feet deep, and mixed with plenty of well rotted manure. For private garden use set the plants in rows two feet apart, and about a foot apart in the row, with crowns four inches below the surface, and spread the roots. For field culture the rows should be six feet apart and two feet apart in the rows. Be- fore winter cover the transplanted beds with about four inches of manure, and fork it in the next spring, being careful not to injure the roots. In autumn, cut the ripe tops and burn the refuse. One pound of seed will produce plants sufficient for an acre, and one ounce of seed will sow a drill fifty feet long. GIANT ARGENTEUIL The standard variety.

Plant six seeds 2 inches deep in hills around poles 8 feet high, set firmly in the ground. , _ . The poles should be set about 3 feet apart each way and the seeds placed in the ground in a circle about 6 inches from the base of the pole. Cultivate same as for bush beans.

As soon as the soil can be worked in the spring the plants should be removed to the open field and set in rows two feet apart each way. Cultivate occasionally to keep out the weeds and preserve the moisture in the soil until the plants shade the ground. For late use sow seed in beds about May 10 th and when the plants are large enough remove to the garden, setting them from two to two and a half feet each way. Cultivation must begin as soon as the plants are set in the field, and be continued as long as it is possible to get through them with a horse cultivator without doing injury to the plants. As soon as the heads begin to form, tie the leaves together over the head to keep out the light; by this process nice white heads are obtained. One ounce of seed will produce about 3000 plants. Earliest Dwarf Snowball. We can recommend the Snowball as one of the earliest and surest heading varieties. Its dwarf habit and short outer leaves allow it to be planted very close — eighteen to twenty inches apart. It is well adapted for forcing under glass throughout the winter and spring. It gives a pure snow-white, medium-sized head. Pkt. 20c; V* oz. 60c; oz. $2.00, postpaid. Early Dwarf Erfurt — An extra early variety, scarcely a plant fails to produce a head. 100 days.

Danish Giant — “Dry Weather.” Its main feature is the fact that it will stand an unusual amount of dry or warm weather and still produce perfect, large solid heads. In districts where heretofore it has been impossi- ble to grow Cauliflower, this fine variety has proven a success. It is ready for market or table about a week later than Extra Early Erfurt.

When the plants are large enough, transplant into coldframes, one and a half inches apart; water and attend carefully; keep the temperature moderate; and when the weather is suitable, from middle of May till June, transplant into the open ground. For main crop, sow in shallow drills in the open ground, as soon as the soil can be worked. See that the bed is kept well watered. Rolling or pressing in the seed will give more satisfactory results than merely covering it. When the plants are two inches high, thin out to three inches apart in the rows; and when four inches high, cut off the tops to make the plants stocky. The best time to plant is that which will bring the plants to maturity during the cool, moist weather. Never hoe or earth up in moist weather, nor when the plants are wet with dew, as it would cause serious injury. One ounce of seed will produce 4,000 to 5,000 plants. White Plume. A variety especially adapted to cultivation by amateurs as its in- ner stalks and leaves are natur- ally white, and do not require blanching by the old process of high banking.

Make hills two feet in diameter and about six feet apart, and enrich them with well-rotted manure. Plant a dozen or more seeds, covering half an inch deep. When all danger from insects is over, pull all but three or four of the strongest plants. One ounce for fifty hills; two pounds per acre when planted in hills. Pick all the fruit before it begins to ripen, as the vines will cease setting fruit as soon as any seed begins to mature. In gathering for pickles, cut stems, instead of pulling the fruit off, and be careful not to mar the fruit in any way, for if the skin be broken the pickles will not keep so well. Early Short Green, or Early Frame. An excellent sort both for table use and for pickling. Plants vigorous and productive.

KOHL RABL 20 VOGELER SEED COMPANY’S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE Lettuce Culture. — Lettuce ought to be grown rapidly, and therefore it should be sown in a rich, thoroughly prepared soil. Sow in the open ground as early as possible, barely covering the seed. If the hotbed is used, let it be started quite early. Give but little heat and plenty of water and air on fine days. Let plants in the bed be about four inches apart. As they increase in size thin them out, or they will become weak. One-half ounce will sow 100 feet of drill. Varieties marked A are particularly adapted for culture under glass and for early spring use. Those marked B are sometimes grown under glass, but are especially desirable for out- door summer culture. Simpson’s Early Curled. B. (Seed white.)

VOGELER SEED COMPANY’S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE 21 Muskmelon or Cantaloupe Plant the seed in hills six feet apart each way, dropping ten to twelve seeds in a hill. After the plants begin to crowd and the striped beetles are pretty well gone, thin to four of the most vigorous plants in a hill. Give frequent but shallow cultivation, until the plants make runners so long that this is impracticable. Rich earth for the young plants is far better than manure, but if the latter must be used, see that it is well rotted and thoroughly mixed with the soil. If the plants grow very rank, more and finer fruits will be secured by allowing the main branch to continue growing, but pinch off the end of each side branch after it has one fruit set. The quality of melons of all varieties is largely dependent upon conditions of growth and ripening. Unhealthy vines or unfavorable weather produces fruit of comparatively poor flavor. The plants are liable to attack from the striped beetles which are so numerous in some cases as to destroy them. The beetles may be kept off by frequent dusting with air-slaked lime, soot or sifted ashes diluted with fine road earth. Care should be taken not to use too much of any of the above materials or the vines will be injured. Should even the diluted material prove in- jurious to the vine, use road earth only, as frequent dusting with this alone will often prove effective, especially if a wind is blowing. Rocky Ford Pink Meat or Pollock’s Rust Resistant No. 10-25. The best and most profitable yet introduced. This is the fa- mous cantaloupe that is grown so largely in Arizona and Califor- nia for the shipping trade. This type is the highest development, both as to netting and rust-re- sistant qualities, yet attained in the Rocky Ford cantaloupe. The melons run very uniform in size, and the exceptionally heavy netting is laced and in- terlaced over the entire surface, making it an ideal shipper.

From old pasture procure the soil, and store it away. To one bushell of this soil add two bushels of fresh horse manure. Of this well-mixed compound prepare a bed, say three feet wide. Put down a thin layer and pound it down hard, and go one until you have a bed eight inches thick. It will soon become pretty hot, but let the heat recede until it is only 85 or 90 degrees. Then make holes, say a foot apart, and put in a piece of the spawn about as large as a walnut in each hole. Cover the holes and press the soil solid and smooth. Let the bed remain in this condition about twelve days; then cover it with two inches of fresh loam, and over this place four or five inches of hay or straw, and the work is done. If the temperature is right, in six or eight weeks you may expect mushrooms. The bed will continue bearing from twenty to thirty days. After the first crop is gathered, spread over the bed an inch of fresh soil, moisten with warm water, covering with hay as before Pure Culture Spawn — Requires one brick of spawn for about eight square feet of bed. One brick 40c; two bricks 75c; five bricks $1.50, postpaid. MUSTARD One ounce to fifty-foot row. Excellent greens, of sharp pungent flavor; cooked the same as spinach.

It not only contains considerable nutriment and has valuable medicinal properties, but is most useful in counteracting the bad effects of sedentary life. The disagreeable odor it imparts to the breath may be avoided in a great measure by thorough cooking, or by eating a few leaves of parsley. Sow in drills twelve to sixteen inches apart, sowing the seed thinly and cover thinly. If desired for transplanting, seeds may be sown broadcast, covering a quarter of an inch deep and transplanted when size of straws. Onions prefer a deep, friable loam, very heavily enriched, but no fresh manure; therefore, fertilize the year previous to sowing. Thin to three to six inches apart in rows. While moisture- loving, much water is fatal and should never touch the plants after too old to pull for eating green. For keeping quality, always irrigate between the rows. One ounce 100 feet, 4-6 pounds per acre. It will not do to store onions in large piles or masses, particularly in warm weather, or if they are the least moist, but if perfectly dry when gathered and stored in crates, they can be kept in fine condition till spring. The best way is to keep them dry, giving bottom ventila- tion if possible, and at uniform temperature of about 32 to 34 degrees Fr. Yellow Globe Danvers. Medium size, solid and heavy. The skin is a beautiful yellow, tops ripen down close, necks small. One of the surest keepers grown. Flesh white, of mild and pleasant flavor.

The green leaves are used for flavoring, or they may be dried crisp, rubbed to a powder and kept in bottles until needed. Culture. — It requires rich, mellow soil. The seed is even slower than parsnip in germinating, and should be sown as early as possible in the spring, in drills one foot apart, and when the plants are well up, thin to one foot in the row. When the plants are about three inches high, cut off all the leaves, the plant will start a new growth of leaves which will be brighter and better curled, and if these turn dull or brown they can be cut in the same way; every cutting will result in Improvement. The moss curled variety makes beautiful border plants. Champion Moss Curled. A compact growing, finely cut and much curled variety, of a bright green color.

Parsnip The value of the Parsnip as a culinary vegetable is well known, but it is not generally appreciated at its full value for stock feeding. On favorable soil it yields an enormous crop of roots, which are more nutritious than carrots or tur- nips. Roots are very rich in saccharine food, adding to the richness of the milk when freshly dug and fed to cows, as well as greatly increasing the flow of milk. Culture. — They do best on a deep, rich, sandy soil, but will make good roots on any soil which is deep, mellow and moderately rich. Fresh manure is apt to make the roots coarse and ill-shaped. As the seed is sometimes slow to ger- minate it should be sown as early as possible, in drills two feet to two and one-half feet apart; cover one-half inch deep and press the soil firmly over the seed. Give frequent cul- tivation, and thin the plants to five or six to the foot. Improved Guernsey. (Improved Half Long. Thick Shoulder.) A greatly Improved and wonderfully fine strain of Guernsey Parsnip, of which our customers are unanimous in praising the fine quality. The roots do not grow so long as the Hollow Crown, but are of greater diameter and more easily gathered. It is a very heavy cropper. The roots are very smooth, the flesh fine grained, tender and sugary, and considered the best for general cultivation. Parsnips are improved by remaining exposed to the frost.

The drills must not be nearer than two feet, except for the lowest sorts. Those growing three feet high or more should not be nearer than three or four feet, and should have brush for their support. Avoid fresh manure and very rich soil, as they cause the vines to grow too rank. One pint will sow forty feet of drill; two bush- els for an acre, in drills three feet apart. Our customers often write us inquiring the names of the three best Garden Peas, Early, Medium and Late. While all those in our list are erood in their class, we name three which in our opinion are equal if not superior to other sort*; First Early, Gradus, plant as early as weather conditions will permit. Medium, Everbearing; Late, Improved Stratagem; plant the Medium and Late varieties about one week later than the Early. The crop should be gathered as fast at it is fit for use. If even a few pods begin to ripen, not only will new pods cease to form, but those partly advanced will stop growing. Gradus or Prosperity. As an extra early Pea, the Gradus being a sugar pea, is far superior to all smooth varieties, not only in its delicious quality, but also in the long pods. While the early smooth varieties eontain four or five peas to the pod, the Gradus usually contains from eight to twelve. Flit. 10c: lb. 40c, postpaid.

Radishes permitted to grow slowly become tough and pithy. Light frosts will not kill young plants, but will check the growth and they do best when kept growing right along. For a succession sow every ten days. During the hot months of summer, winter radishes will do better than the early sorts. Winter radishes can be stored, same as potatoes, furnishing an acceptable relish through the winter months. There is no crop that will bring quicker returns for the market gardener. The leading variety is “Spark- ler.” Our recommendations are Sparkler for early or succession; Icicle for second early; and Celestial for 'winter use. Early Round Varieties Sparkler or Sail Lake’s Favorite — Color is scarlet and white, extremely quick to mature, being ready for the table in 20 days from planting.

To have a beautiful flower garden, one must take pleasure in working and caring for the plants when young. It has ceased to be a necessity to keep such large stocks of bedding and other tender plants under glass through the winter, thereby saving the expense of glass, fuel, labor, etc. We are enabled to send out the highest results of carefully selected seeds, in cheap paper packets from which the amateur will derive his plants by means so simple as to be with- in the reach of everyone. Nothing is more beautiful than the old-time and natural flowers. Do not cast aside the single Petunias, Hollyhocks, Fox-gloves, Forget-Me-Nots, and the old time Phlox and Peonies, for nothing is handsomer than the old-fashioned flowers. Were we to assist nature more rather than try to create monstrosities, our gardens would look by far more beautiful and natural. The soil best adapted to most flowering plants, is a light moderately rich loam, containing a sufficient amount of sand to make it friable. A great many varieties will live in almost any soil, but to give them a fair chance to develop, some care should be taken to make it suited to their needs. Many flowers are better if produced on plants of vigorous growth; hence a por- tion of the garden should be prepared by deep digging, thorough pulverization and liberal en- riching with large quantities of well rotted manure. Since other varieties produce the largest and finest colored flowers when grown on rather light, poor soil, a portion of the garden should not be enriched. Cultural directions are given on nearly all packets, and we urge purchasers to study them carefully. While some seeds need special treatment, the following general rules will apply to all: Make the surface as fine and smooth as possible, do not plant any seed when the ground is wet; cover each lot of seeds to a uniform depth, which should never be more than three or four times the diameter of the seed; press the soil firmly over the seeds; plant in rows so that the voung plants can be easily seen and pull up all weeds as soon as they appear. The term ‘‘Annual’' is given to those plants which grow, flower, seed and die within the same vear. “Biennials” are those that do not generally flower until the second season, and after bloom- ing. die. “Perennials” are those that do not generally flower until the second year, but continue to bloom for years and may be propagated by a division of the roots Acroclinium. (Everlasting.) Very pretty, half-hardy annual, producing white and rose-colored daisy-like flowers in August and September. These are the “Immortelles,” so desirable for wreathes and winter bouquets. Height one foot. Mixed Pkt. 5c. Ageratum. The different varieties of Ageratum grow from six inches to two feet or more in height and are very profuse and constant bloomers.

If You Want Fine Flowers Plant “PURITY SEEDS." VOGELER SEED COMPANY’S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE 31 Asters No flower, not even excepting the Pansy, with its marvelous range of color, or the Sweet Pea, with its wonderful display of bloom, can approach in many important respects the Aster. Ae a bedding plant it has no superior, and is the last to succumb to the icy touch of winter. As a cut flower it rivals the Chrysanthemum In beauty and diversity of form and color, and remains firm and fresh for days. They are easily grown, very hardy, and offer themselves for use at a time when other garden favorites are gone. Truffaut’s Perfection Peony Flowered.

MORNING GLORY. “PURITY SEEDS” PRODUCE BEST FLOWERS VOGELER SEED COMPANY’S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE 36 Nasturtiums These most popular, free-flowering tender annuals are of two distinct types — the Tall, or running varieties and the Tom Thumb, or dwarf varieties. Both are of easiest culture, growing and blooming in great profusion even in the poorest soils. The tall varieties are of strong, vigorous growth, throwing out running shoots which can be trained upon strings or wires, or can be readily made to climb the ordinary paling fences or wire netting. They are also extremely showy as trailing plants when set around borders of vases or ornamental boxes, on the lawn, and can be effectively planted at the top of a steep slope and allowed to run down the bank. They are equally beautiful simply trailing on level ground. The dwarf or Tom Thumb varieties, being of neat, compact growth, can be planted as borders to flower- beds or along garden walks. Seed should be planted thinly when trees are starting out in leaf. When well started, young plants should be transplanted or thinned out to stand six or more inches apart for tall running varieties, and ten or twelve inches for those of the dwarf. When planted in poor soil they flower profusely; if the soil is too rich they run to leaves. Nasturtium, Tall. (Tropaeolum Lobbianum.) The Lobbianum differs from the common running nasturtium, in being less rank growing, more floriferous and having richer, more varied colored flowers of many shades, from the richest scarlet to very deep maroon.

Pansy The Pansy gives an abundance of bloom un- til after severe frosts, endures hard winters with safety, and greets us in the early spring with a profusion of bright blossoms. Pansy seed may be sown in the hot-bed or open ground. If sown in the spring, get it in as early as possible, so as to secure flowers during the early rains. Seeds sown in a cool place in May or June, and well watered until up, will produce fall-flowering plants. To have good flowers, the plants must be vigorous and make a rapid growth, as they will in rich, moist loam. Young plants give the largest flowers. The old worn-out plants should be replaced. If the plants come into bloom in the heat of summer, the flowers will be small at first, but as the weather becomes cooler they will increase in size and beauty. They will flower better in midsummer if planted where somewhat shaded from the hot sun, and es- pecially If furnished with a good supply of water; but In almost any situation will give fine flowers in the spring and autumn.

Early in the spring make a trench about six inches deep, in rich, mellow soil, so arranged that no water can stand in it, and plant the seed in the bottom, taking care not to cover it more than two inches. When the plants are about five inches high, fill up the trench, and furnish some support for the vines to run upon. The plants should not be raised for two succes sive seasons upon the same ground. Sweet Peas should not be planted on the same ground after Culinary Peas. Excessive manuring with stable manure in the row immediately before sowing the seed is not desirable. Ground intended for Sweet Peas, if not left in good condition after taking the last crop, will be better for manuring the previous fall rather than at the spring seeding. The use of artificial fertilizers, bone meal, nitrate of soda, etc., can be made in spring at the time of planting or soon after. Thin sowing, by which is meant planting the seeds from four to six inches apart, is conducive to vigor and strength of the plants, which come later into bloom, but continue much longer than the plants from thick seeding. Frequent stirring of the soil with hoe or cultivator in dry weather, thus producing a dust mulch, is pre ferable to artificial watering, unless irrigation facili ties afford opportunities for a regular and abundant supply of water. Do not allow any flowers to go to seed or the plants will stop blooming. One-quarter pound of seed will sow fifty feet. Mixtures of Sweet Peas. One of the most satisfactory ways of growii Sweet Peas is in a mixed row. The mixtures we offer are not made up of inferior or cheap stocks, but are of the very best qualities and are well proportioned ~o as to give a pleasing variety of bloom. FINEST MIXED.

ALFALFA OR LUCERNE The most valuable forage plant, particu- larly adapted for our Western climate and soil. It requires a deep, mellow soil; newly broken sod does not do so welL It thrives best on a sandy loam (the richer the bet- ter), while it has proved a success on heavy. The essentials for a fine lawn are: First, a rich, well-drained soil; second, care- ful preparation of the ground, making it as fine and smooth and mellow as possible; third, a wise selection of seeds; fourth, sowing at such a time as to give the young plants a chance to become well established before being subjected to very dry or very cold weather. However much care is bestowed on the soil and seed, no lawn will be beau- tiful without frequent mowing and rolling. Too much care cannot be bestowed upon the selection of grasses, as some varieties are the most luxuriant in spring, others in summer, others again in autumn, and a combination of the proper sorts is re- quired for a perfect, carpet-like lawn. It may be planted early in spring, or fall, and should be sown at the rate of 80 to 100 lbs. per acre; much more is required than for hay or pasturage. If sown in the spring, sow as early as possible. compact clay soil. In the dryest and most sultry weather, when every blade of grass withers. Alfalfa is as fresh and green as in the spring, as its roots go down from ten to twenty feet to the moisture of the ground. Although a prodigious yielder, it does not exhaust the soil, but rather improves the ground by the decay of its long roots, and converts it into rich ground, full of vege- table matter. The seed may be sown early in the spring (as soon as the frost is out of the ground), in order to catch the spring rains, as it needs moisture to germinate. In localities where irrigation is used, it can be sown at any time during the summer months. Never sow less than fifteen lbs. of good clean seed to the acre, for thin sowing produces thick and coarse stalks, not relished by stock. Lb. 35c. postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs. $2.50. 100 lbs. market price. For larger lots write for prices. Alfalfa Grimm — This variety is especially recommended for shallow soils or those un- derlaid with hardpan. The claim is made for it that in addition to extreme hardiness it has spreading roots instead of a single tap-root and that it makes underground creeping stems. Lb. 65c. postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs. $5.00; 100 lb., market price. Alsike Clover (Swedish Hybrid) — Is re- commended both for sowing with Timothy and also with the Red and Mammoth Clovers, as well as for a hay crop by itself. It does not winter-kill. The use of Swedish Alsike Clover is increasing rapidly; cattle prefer it to other clovers. It is very fine for honey bees. Sow at the rate of six or eight lbs. per acre; sown in mixtures, five or 6 lbs. per acre is sufficient. Lb. 45c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs. $3.00; 100 lbs. market price. Sweet Clover or Bokhara (Melilotus Alba) White Blossom — As a moneymaker this has been rightfully named “Alfalfa’s Twin Sis- ter.” Its value in the redemption of alka- line lands cannot be over-estimated. It grows in a variety of soils — heavy, light, wet or dry, almost anywhere except in acid soil. Sow at the rate of 10 to 15 lbs. per acre. Cover the seed very lightly. Lb. 35c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs. $2.25, 100 lbs., market price. Yellow Blossom (Melilotus Officinalis) — Same family as White Blossom Sweet Clover but it is not so prolific in growth and flowers are yellow instead of white. For bee pasture we believe it to be equally valuable. Lb. 35c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs. $2.25; 100 lbs., market price. Medium Red Clover (Trifolioum Pratense — It is sometimes called June Clover, and is a dependable, all-round variety for farm- ers and stockmen. It makes two crops each LAWN MAKING making the surface very fine and smooth, then raking it over and sowing the seed just before a rain, which, if the surface has just been raked, will cover the seed suf- ficiently. If the expected rain does not come, cover by rolling with a light roller. If sown in the fall, sow before the autumn rains have ceased, and before very cold weather give the young grass a light dressing of commercial fertilizer or sheep manure. Fertilizer for the Lawn — For many years it was the custom each year to spread a dressing of stable manure upon the lawn to ad food to replenish the store taken up during the season’s growth. It was a wise measure as far as it went but the invariable result was a fresh and numerous crop of weeds from seed carried in the manure and the good was nullified by the fight to kill the weeds. Commercial fertilizers are now used and with much better effect. Ideal lawn dressings are Bone Meal, Groz-it or year. Sow either in the spring or fall at the rate of 15 lbs. to the acre. Lb. 50c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs. $3.75. White, or Dutch — A small, creeping per- ennial variety, valuable for pasturage and for lawns. It accommodates itself to a variety of soils, but prefers moist ground. Being very hardy and of a creeping habit, it will also prevent the ground from being washed by heavy rains. It is rarely sown alone, but used mainly for sowing with other grass seeds, especially Blue Grass, to obtain per- manent pastures. Sow in the spring, at the rate of six lbs. per acre, or when used with other grasses, half that amount. Lb. 85c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs. . $7.50; for larger lots write for prices.

If the lawn is kept clipped fairly short, it will not be necessary to rake the clip- pings, but they may be allowed to remain where cut and will be washed down among the roots by the rain and furnish a mulch which will be valuable in the hot, drying days of summer. If, however, the grass has been allowed to get so long that a con- siderable length must be cut, it must be raked. Only the fine clippings should be left upon the lawn. These fine clippings again go back into the soil in time and ad humus. City Park Lawn Mixture — The best lawn seed experience can suggest or that money can buy.
