' ■% HOW TO ORDER BY MAIL Prices in This Catalogue Cancel All Previous Prices and Are Subject to Change Without Notice. YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. —Be sure that your name and address are written very plainly on each order. We frequently have orders where either name is not given or address omitted. Also give plainly the R. F. D. number and box or street address. We acknowledge all orders above 25 cents by Post Card, giv- ing the number of your particular order. If such acknowledgement is not received, or if the order does not follow at once, write us about it. CASH WITH ORDER. — The proper way is to send remittance in full to cover order and postage. Remittance should be made by Post Office Money Order or Express Money Order. For amounts up to $1.00 clean unused Postage Stamps will be accepted. Checks on Phoenix banks may be sent, which will be a great convenience to many customers. We do not accept responsibility for orders which never reach us. SHIPPING .— We will use our best judgment as to the best way of sending orders when specific directions are not given. On large orders it is better to have them go by express or freight if your town is on a railroad. If special directions in shipping are needed, send them explicitly, and where express or freight office is different from post office so state in space on our order sheet. Paris Green, Lon- don Purple and other poisons are not mailable, nor are liquids like Black Leaf 40 and other insecticides ; they must go by express or freight. Seeds do not pack well with nursery stock, they may get damp and become spoiled ; it is therefore better to have them shipped separately.

We do not ship plants C. O. D. We Do Not Warrant S The fact that no rePutable seedsman kJ ecud now warrants seeds in any respect being well known, renders it unnecessary for us to say very much on this point, as it must be apparent to every intelligent person that no seedsman can afford to send out poor or worthless seeds- There could be no more certain way of destroying his business. We beg to append the following notice: The seeds offered in this Catalogus have been carefully grown, selected, cleaned and tested for germination, and we believe them to be first-class in every respect, but we can- not guarantee the crop, as too many conditions enter into it; therefore, we give no war- ranty, express or implied, as to description, purity, productiveness or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs or plants 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 terms, they are to be re- turned at once, and if the money has been paid for them it will be refunded. Arizona Seed & Floral Company, A. W. Liefgreen, Mgr. BUY THE BEST — WE DO PLANT A FAMILY GARDEN OR inexpensive food, for health, for recreation, a well-managed gaiuen is an asset to any family. The fresh fruits and vegetables produced, not only represent an important saving in the cost of feeding the family, but form a most palatable and healthful part of a well balanced diet. The garden is deserving of thoughtful planning and the best of care. With a well chosen variety of fruits and vegetables, a large proportion of the family’s food needs can be produced at a rela- tively low cost. In quality and flavor, the fresh products, picked from the garden and served within a short time, are often superior to food purchased at a market or store. Vegetables and fruits are essential to supply the body with minerals, vita- mins, acids, cellulose, and other elements. The mineral substances build and maintain the bones and the teeth; likewise, they keep the blood and other body fluids in good condition. Vitamins promote growth and, because some are easily destroyed by heat, the use of one uncooked fruit or vegetable each day is advised. Cellulose adds bulk to the diet and stimulates digestion. Acids add flavor to food, stimulating the appetite and the flow of digestive juices. Eat two servings daily of fresh fruit and vegetables from your own garden and stay healthy.

The instructions we give herein are based on actual experience in the Southwest and should aid you materially with your garden. Some succeed with whatever they plant. This should not be considered luck, but rather the “Knowing How” in little things that make the difference between a good garden and a poor one. You will always have problems of your own to work out. The condition of your soil may be different to that of your neighbor, or you may have more shade than he, but all these problems can be worked out satisfactorily. For this reason we have endeavored to enunciate certain primary principles rather than lay down defi- nite rules. LOCATION OF THE GARDEN A great many garden enthusiasts have the mistaken idea that the garden must be shaded. All vegetables and most all flowers should have a location where they are exposed to the sun all or most of the day to produce the desired growth. During the Winter growing season a garden protected or partly surrounded by a hedge or trees will produce earlier vege- tables and flowers, due to the fact that the protection thus afforded will hold the frost to a higher level than when exposed. Protection of this sort is not altogether necessary, as our coldest winters have produced wonderful yields of all our winter crops. THE UNTIDY YARD Is your yard worthy of comment as a well-kept garden and lawn or is it piled up with rubbish, tin cans, bricks, etc., and a sight to create unfavorable comment by your neigh- bor? If it is the latter, by all means Clean It Up. Do not allow the surface appearance of your soil to discourage your prospects for a garden, no matter how ungardenable it might appear. If you could look back and see some of the unsightly yards that have been trans- formed into beautiful gardens producing wonderful vegetables and flowers you would not hesitate in assisting nature to develop and beautify your own garden spot, thereby making it an enviable place in which to live. THE SOIL Build Up the Soil to the Maximum Producing Point Do not become discouraged if your soil does not produce the desired yield from your first attempt. If your soil is too heavy or too sandy it may be easily bettered. For soil of a heavy adobe nature and difficult to work nothing is better than a heavy dressing of good strawy stable manure. Better still, if your selected garden spot is covered with a heavy, coarse growth of bermuda grass, have it plowed under and allow it to lay until thoroughly decomposed. Both the stable manure and the bermuda sod have a tendency to loosen up and lighten the soil, and they also add humus. Gypsum or water-soaked lime spaded in often greatly improve the physical nature of tight soils. Strange to believe, the same mater- ials which lighten heavy soils will also improve the light, sandy soils. Manure spaded in will make light, sandy soils more compact and less liable to dry out quickly. Light soils quick- ly absorb the heat and in the early Spring months will mature a crop earlier than will the heavier soils. FERTILIZATION Every garden should receive annually at least one good application of manure. Barn- yard, sheep or poultry manure should be used. If no manure is available, old leaves, straw, hay, or other trash may be used. This should be plowed or spaded under and then dragged or raked to put the ground in good condition. Sour clover, vetch, garden or field peas and similar winter crops may be planted on unused garden areas during the Winter and turned under in the Spring for green manuring. Summer crops such as Cow Peas, Soy Beans, Black-eyed Peas, etc., may be used in the same way during the Summer months. The soil that contains plenty of organic matter and humus is easier to cultivate, holds moisture bet- ter because of its porous and spongy character, and is less liable to become hard and baked when dry. Besides, well fertilized soil produces larger crops. For quick results in the gar- den Gromore is an excellent Tertilizer to use. It responds quickly and gives excellent results. You will find it listed under Fertilizers. Phoenix, Arizona 7 IRRIGATION AND CULTIVATION The successful garden requires good irrigation and cultivation. To begin with, the sur- face should be properly leveled, leaving just enough slope to carry the water down the fur- rows. Sandy soils should have more slope than heavy soil. Planting should be done in rows, as this method facilitates irrigation and clean and rapid cultivation. The rows should be as long as possible, but convenience in irrigation will determine the length and direction of the rows. It is always more economical to irrigate and cultivate long rows than short ones. During the Fall, Winter and Spring months, one irrigation every eight days, not including rainfall, is sufficient for the ordinary vegetable crops. During the hot Summer months, most vegetables and flowers should be irrigated oftener. Remember that there should be suffi- cient irrigation to keep the plants healthy, succulent and strong. The amount of the water necessary depends largely on the nature of the soil. Light soils dry out more quickly than do heavy ones. Cultivation is as essential as irrigation. Frequent cultivation keeps the soil in good tilth, aerates the soil, and forms a dust mulch which helps to stop the excessive evaporation of moisture from the soil. Cultivate shallowly, so as not to disturb the roots of the plants. It is best to cultivate as soon after irrigation as the soil will allow. Frequent cultivation will also lessen the weed problem and you will have only occasional use for the hoe. Irrigation and cultivation can be lessened during the Summer months by mulching around the plants with manure or straw, which also tends to keep the ground cooler. Iron Age and Pull Easy garden tools (listed under Garden Tools) will greatly reduce labor and the saving in time soon pay for them. HOW TO RIDGE THE SOIL FOR IRRIGATION Garden culture under irrigation is quite different from that in which rainfall is de- pended upon. Flat culture is best in sections where adequate rainfall supplies all the mois- ture necessary but in the arid districts we must depend on irrigation. With irrigation the soil is ridged and the plants and seeds are planted on top of the ridge or on the sides. The ridge, not being flooded, does not become packed and no crust forms on the surface. The ridges should be from five to ten inches high at the center, and flattened out or rounded. Sharp narrow ridges dry out too quickly and do not keep their form. Furrows should be as narrow and shallow as convenient. For small garden crops the ridges should be from 1% to 2 feet wide, with a row on both sides and for melons, etc., or plants like okra, pepper and tomatoes, the beds must necessarily be from 3 to 6 feet wide, the width to be judged from the size of the plants to be grown. Some prefer to set out plants such as tomato, pepper, egg plant, cabbage, etc., along single shallow furrows and ridge or hill up the plants later as they continue to grow. SEED PLANTING We attribute most failures with garden seeds to the fact that the seed is planted either too deep or too shallow. The best rule to follow is to plant in depth according to the size of the seed. For instance, seed like snapdragon, petunia, portulaca, and all seed which is very fine should be sown on the surface of the soil, padded down lightly with a block of wood and then covered lightly with a mulch of sand and finely pulverized manure. A piece of burlap over the seed bed will lessen the evaporation, and hasten germination. The mulch is absolutely necessary with all fine seeds and is used with great success for all plantings regardless of the size of the seed. Medium small seed such as sweet Alyssum, verbena, turnip, lettuce, etc., should be sown from one-fourth to one-half inch deep. Large seed, such as calendula, hollyhock, beet, radish, etc., should be planted three-fourths to one inch deep. Sweet corn, peas and beans should be planted from lxk to 2% inches deep. Dur- ing the hottest weather it is best to plant all seeds a little deeper, as the soil dries out more rapidly. Always plant seed in moist soil, never in dry. Start cultivating the young plants as soon as you can without disturbing the roots. Seeds that are hard should be soaked in water from 24 to 36 hours before planting. ALKALI SPOTS Alkali spots are caused by the accumulation of soluble matter at the surface of the soil. Some alkali spots of black or chocolate brown color contain injurious amounts of so- dium carbonate and are reclaimed with difficulty. Practically all other alkali salts, even those having a black appearance, are readily washed out of the soil. To control permanent- ly alkali, the cause, almost invariably a high water table, must be removed. Next, any plan which will cause large quantities of water to be carried down through the soil to a depth be- low the root zone of plants is necessary. Application of this principle depends upon the individual circumstances. The soil should be plowed or spaded deeply, basined off with high, strong borders and flooded with an excess of water. Irrigation water may be left standing on the land for a few days, or if more desirable, as much water as will soak into the soil in 8 or 10 hours may be applied, followed by three or four similar irrigations at intervals of a week. Coarse organic matter plowed or spaded in deeply greatly assists the penetration of water, as does irrigation on rough plowing. 8 Arizona Seed & Floral Company If the above treatment does not suffice it means that your soil is especially tight, or that it contains large amounts of sodium carbonate, in which event, reclamation is more costly. In such a case, if your acreage is very limited, apply gypsum at the rate of 1 pound per two square feet of soil, and carry on one of the leaching processes above described. If your acreage is large, consult a soil chemist and ascertain more definitely the amount of gyp- sum per acre that should be used. After the alkali is leached out, add organic matter, preferably barnyard manure, in large quantities. This will have a beneficial physical and chemical effect on your soil. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMBATING INSECT PESTS Burn All Diseased Garden Refuse At certain times of the year there is always more or less refuse left in the garden, such as melon vines, old roots, plant tops and weeds. Some of this material would make fine fertilizer if spaded into the soil, but much of the refuse is liable to be diseased. The best plan, then, is to rake all the refuse in piles and burn it. ASSIST YOUR GARDEN CROPS IN RESISTING DISEASE BY FREQUENT CULTIVATION A vegetable or flower garden, rose bush, tree or any form of plant life is very much like the human body, which if kept in good physical condition is better able to resist dis- ease. Keep the plants growing and strong by frequent cultivation and they will be better able to resist disease and insect attacks. HOW TO COMBAT THE INSECT PEST When you discover insects on your plant, determine first in which class they belong by the damage they are doing. There are three classes of insects — namely, chewing, suck- ing and underground insects. CHEWING INSECTS are those that chew or eat the plants above the ground. These are easy to fight as it is simply a matter of applying poison to their food. Cabbage worms, tomato worms and the rose slug are common insects which eat holes in the leaves and fruit. These bugs are easily killed by applying a poison either in liquid or dry form. We recom- mend Paris Green or Arsenate of Lead as the most effective poisons. SUCKING INSECTS. These insects do not chew the leaves but suck the Juices from the inside of the plant tissues. A poison as applied for the chewing insects will not affect them, as it is necessary to use something that comes in contact with the body to kill them. All kinds of lice and aphis and squash and cucumber beetles are sucking insects. We es- pecially recommend either Black Leaf 40 Nicotine or Nico Dust to destroy these pests. When using Black Leaf 40, Fish Oil Soap should be used with It, both to make the liquid adhere to the foliage and also as a repellent, as the soap has a disagreeable odor. When Black Leaf 40 or Nico Dust is used the liquid or the fumes hit the body of the insect and It is taken up into the breathingpores and kills. Early and constant watching and spray- ing or dusting is necessary as sucking insects work fast and get out of the way quickly. Spray when they make their first appearance, as they spread and multiply rapidly. UNDERGROUND INSECTS. These are hard to get at and require different treat- ment than the two previously mentioned. The common kind is the root maggot. We also have root lice, wire worms and cut worms that damage the underground parts of the plants. Clean culture and crop rotation are the most reliable practices, while much good comes from thorough cultivation. Cut worms and wire worms can be controlled to a certain ex- tent by scattering poison bran mash over the surface of the ground around the plants. To- bacco dust is a very good repellent. The use of carbon bi-sulphide is very effective on all underground pests. This liquid forms a heavy gas which sinks into the soil and destroys any insect life it reaches. Use moderately as carbon bi-sulphide injures some plants. CUT WORMS. The control of these pests has always been a difficult problem. They delight in sneaking around at night and cutting off young and tender plants at the surface of the ground. The best method we know of for controlling these pests is the use of poison bait (see Formula for Poison Bran Mash). Scatter the poison bait freely around the plants and it will be found very effective. The cut worms will eat the bait in preference to green vegetation.

Then slowly pour this mixture over the bran and stir thoroughly un- til an even mixture is secured. Phoenix, Arizona 9 LETTUCE NEW YORK SPECIAL NEW YORK LETTUCE is, without question, the leading head lettuce on the market today and the Salt River Valley section is alr.eady famous for the quality of New York Lettuce, of which thousands of carloads are distributed to Eastern markets each season. OUR STRAIN of NEW YORK LETTUCE seed is conceded, by the many growers who use it, as the best procurable. It is kept pure by constant upbreeding for trueness to type and all seed fields are thoroughly and intelligently rogued by experts, thereby eliminating any off types which might appear. DO NOT PLANT “inferior cheap seed.” When seed is scarce and high priced it is always a temptation to solicitors, peddlers and some dealers, not posted on good lettuce seed, to offere in- ferior seed at bargain prices. Cheap seed, in most cases, proves to be the most expensive. We make a specialty of high class lettuce seed and claim quality ONLY. Use only old seed for early planting. For this reason we always carry a large stock of seed over every year to assure our customers of a supply of one-year-old seed, which has been tested for purity and will germinate evenly and yield a good crop.

Prices subject to change without notice. 10 Arizona Seed & Floral Company WONDERFUL BARGAIN COLLECTIONS OF VEGETABLE SEEDS You may wonder why we offer seeds in these collections at bargain prices. The first reason is that it encourages the use of a greater number of kinds of vegetables and promotes the use of a greater vari- ety of vegetables in the gardens and on the table. Another reason is that during the winter months we have more time to assemble these collections and prepare them for mailing, so all that is necessary dur- ing our rush season is the addressing and stamping. All varieties in these collections are tried and proven sorts and all packets are full size and 'contain the highest quality seed, the same as though you were buying each item separately. We can not allow any change in the collections and no seeds other than these collections will be sold at these reduced prices.

They may be planted from August 1 to June 1. One ounce of seed will sow 50 feet of row and six or seven pounds are required for an acre. If the soil is in perfect condition beet seed will germinate readily, but they should not be plant- ed in wet, soggy ground in the Winter time. Frequent cultivation is necessary for rapid and tender growth. While it is true beets will •ndure considerable drouth and neglect, grow- ing under these conditions they become woody and ill shaped, particularly in our heavy adobe soil. Keep them well cultivated and they will produce table size beets in 65 to 70 days. BEET— ECLIPSE ECLIPSE — Not quite as early as the Egyp- tian. It is nearly round and has a small top.

Phoenix, Arizona 13 STOCK BEETS FOR FEEDING STOCK BEETS have for years been recognized as a most valuable feed for' hogs, sheep and cattle, throughout Europe, Canada and also the Eastern and Middle Western States of America. Stock Beets are one of the finest fat and milk-producing crops we have today and when fed in conjunction with grain they are worth nearly as much, pound for pound, as the grain itself. Stock Beets also furnish excellent food for chickens and rabbits. PRODUCTION AND COSTS The average production of Stock Beets at our trial grounds was 35 tons per acre. This is not exceptional — 80 tons per acre has been reported. CULTURE STOCK BEET SEED should be sown about one inch deep, in well cultivated soil in drills eighteen inches to three feet apart (depending upon the method of cultivation). When the plants are sufficiently large, thin out to stand ten to twelve inches apart in the rows. The seed is generally sown at the rate of eight to ten pounds per acre. Beet Seed is very hard and does not germinate as easily as other seeds, therefore the soil should be very moist at the time the seed is planted. If the soil should be dry it is advisable to soak the seed in luke- warm water for 24 hours before planting. MAMMOTH LONG RED — A very large mangel and a heavy cropper. Skin is red, flesh white, zoned with red. This is the most popular variety grown. (Pkt. 10c), (oz. 15c), (lb. 60c), (10 lbs. $5.50), postpaid.

The seed we offer is of the most highly selected strains and will produce wonderfully tender, crisp cabbage. In the southern valleys of Arizona seed should be sown the latter part of July and during August in shaded beds, the shade to be of burlap or something that may be removed before plants become spindling. For small head- ing varieties, such as Early Winningstadt and Jersey Wakefield, plant in rows three feet apart and 18 inches apart in the row. Begin trans- planting as soon as plants are large enough and cultivate constantly. One-half pound of seed should be planted to grow plants for one acre. The illustrations appearing on these pages are from actual photographs taken of seed field specimens. ALL HEAD EARLY DANISH BALLH EAD— Cactus Brand DANISH BALLHEAD A medium sized very solid variety which will remain in good condition longer than most sorts. It is one of the hardiest Winter cabbages we have. Being a very strong grower, it demands a reasonably rich soil and will respond readily to fertilizer.

The spherical heads reach, even with very small growing space, an average weight of about nine pounds. The stem is low, the leaves, in relation to the size of the head, are very small and line. One great feature about Cactus Brand Copenhagen Market is that about 95 per cent of the heads are suitable for cutting at the same time so that the land may be cleared almost completely at one cutting. Under favorable growing conditions this Cabbage will mature in 12 to 15 weeks from time of transplanting and it is gradually becoming a favorite among gardeners and shippers. Arizona climatic conditions are unsettled. During the Cabbage season we may have a great variety of weather within a week and it takes a hardy strain of seed to produce a plant that will be a success under these conditions. Cactus Brand Copenhagen Market will prove hardy under arid climatic conditions and will produce a crop. (Pkt. 10c), (oz 40c), (14 lb. $1.35), (lb. $4.00), postpaid.

SEED TESTING To insure our customers as much as possi- ble from purchasing seed of low vitality, we are constantly testing various varieties of seeds — both field and garden — using for the purpose modern electric testing and germinating ma- chines. As a result of our efforts along this line, we are in a position to detect inferior goods and eliminate the seed from our stock. Any seed failing to meet the requirements and which we have reason to believe would not give entire satisfaction, are immediately removed from stock and not offered to our customers. We be- lieve that work of this nature is worth while and when we consider we are here to give value received and cannot do so unless we put out high quality seeds, wt figure that this work is more than justified, and, in the long run, we are more than repaid, for it means “satisfied customers.” BUY THE BEST — WE DO (We maintain a High Class Floral Department.

There is probably no root crop that will produce as much food on the same amount of land as the Carrot. In Southern valleys they may be left in the ground all Winter. Our Cactus Brand Carrot seeds are great producers under arid condition#. Plant plenty of them. IMPROVED CHANTENAV CULTURE The Carrot is very easily grown, being per- fectly hardy in all tem1 eratures which come to Southern Arizona. Seed should be sown from September to May in drills 10 inches apart on ridges. It requires four pounds of seed for an acre or one ounce to 100 feet of drill. They are ready for table use in eight to ten weeks after planting, and remain good for three to four months. We especially recommend the Improved Chantenay Carrot for the family garden. Sow in drills 15 to 18 inches apart, covering the seed one-half inch deep. Keep clean by fre- quent hoeing and weedine. If neglected, the young plants are easily smothered. DANVERS HALF LONG— The best for gen- eral crop, will yield the most per acre. Most profitable for market gardeners. This variety originated in Massachusetts, where the raising of carrots is made a special business.

Yellow Dent, Sacaton June and Hickory King may be planted in July as well, and Sweet Corn in August and early Septem- ber. One pound of seed will plant about 200 feet of row and about 10 pounds is required for one acre. Plant in hills 18 inches apart, with rows three feet apart. Plant four or five seed to the hill, but do not allow more than two stalks to stand, and remove all side shoots. Cultivate after each irrigation until corn shades the ground; this is very important. Irrigation should be governed largely by the texture of the soil, but never allow the soil to become dry. All varieties listed here are successfully grown in Arizona. For larger quantities than found listed, write for special prices. For Corn Worm, we recommend dusting with Arsenate of Lead.

(PLANT ZINNIA SEED for Summer Flowers) Phoenix, Arizona 21 LETTUCE — Lechuga CULTURE — Lettuce is very exacting as to soil requirements. It is best suited to a rich, light loam, and should never be planted on soils of poor quality. Irrigation is necessary through- out the entire growing period, except during the rainy season, but the crop is easily ruined by an excess of water. The crop stands cold better than heat. At the time of planting, the soil should be in the finest possible condition. The plants should be grown on ridges, 12 to 18 inches wide, four to six inches high and 10 to 15 inches apart. The water should be run between the ridges and not flow over the tops, and should never be allowed to cover the plants. There should always be an adequate amount of moisture in the soil from the time the plants have commenced to head until they have matured. Cultivation is necessary after each irrigation as the soil should never be allowed to harden around the plants. Hard head lettuce, such as Arizona Wonderful, New York, Big Boston and Hanson, should be planted from September on and Iceberg head lettuce and leaf lettuce in Janu- ary, February and March. In warm weather the lettuce should be cut early in the morning and never when the heads are wet. as in that condition they will heat and quickly rot. The field is gone over from two to five times during the cutting season. Plant 2 pounds of seed to the acre, the acre.

As the vines grow, hill the earth about them until the roots are 10 to 12 inches deep. When the vines are safely established, thin out, leaving only two vines to the hill. It is a good plan to establish your rows by throwing the soil toward the center, with one round of plowing, and cultivate every week during the early growth of the plants. This gives deep cultivation at the time it is needed, mulches the soil properly, makes proper rows slightly raised in the center, allowing a low place between for irrigating, as soon as the nature of the soil will permit If these instructions are carefully followed you will have thrifty vines throughout the season. Use one ounce of seed for the average garden. One ounce will plant 20 to 30 hills. Three pounds is required to the acre.

See pages 78 to 82) Arizona Seed & Floral Company 25 MUSKMELONS-Melone or CANTALOUPE CULTURE Muskmelons must not under ordinary gardening conditions be planted until all danger of frost is past. Warm ground is essential to the germination of the seed, for if planted too early in the Spring it will rot. It is highly important that your soil should be in proper planting condition. First, it must be thoroughly soaked or irrigated. Second, as quickly as the moisture has thor- oughly penetrated and the soil is in a tillable or workable condition, spade or plow the ground and see tha it is thoroughly pulverized. Third, prepare furrows 6 to 8 inches in depth and 5 to 7 feet apart, according to space you can spare. Fourth, plant the seed in the furrows about 6 feet apart, covering the seed not more than 1 inch deep and as the plant grows, gradually fill up the furrow about it with soil until level with surface. Continuous cultivation is now necessary and where soil conditions requii’e, systematic irrigation should be followed. Do not, however, irrigate close to the plant as it will 'cause dampening off, and other diseases. The roots of the plant being as long as the vine, close up irrigation is not necessary and in cultivating see that these roots are not dis- turbed as it would ruin the plant. Practice frequent shallow cultivation. Plant 8 seeds to the hill and when thoroughly established pull out all but three. One and one-half to two pounds of seed is used to an acre. IMPROVED EDEN GEM Without doubt this is the best general purpose melon on the market today. It Is uni- form, well netted and a fine melon for market or home use.

Picking at the proper time is very important. If desired for immediate use do not pick un- til the rind will give under pressure, using the thumb to determine this. If rind is firm the melon is not ripe and full flavor has not yet developed. Casabas can be picked green and held in storage until ripe. Green melons are used for ship- ments of any distance. Do not pick for shipment until the melon has lost its shiny appearance. GOLDEN BEAUTY Golden Beauty — Grows from six to eight inches in diameter, nearly round, color a perfect golden yel- low and rind very hard. This is perhaps the best fla- vored variety of casaba.

PEANUTS A GREAT AMERICAN FOOD Plant more peanuts — they are one of America’s best and cheapest foods. One pound of whole peanuts contains nearly one-half pound of fat and one-fourth pound of protein, while one pcund of beefsteak yields less than one-third as much and one pound of eggs less than one-fifth that amount. The demand for peanuts as a food is increasing by leaps and bounds and great strides are being made in its culture and consumption. Thousands of acres are planted in the United States every year, the average yield being 34 bushels per acre. Peanuts require a five to six months’ growing season. In Southern valleys they should be planted in March or April, when danger of frost is over; they will then mature about September. It requires about 10 pounds shelled or 15 pounds of unshelled nuts to plant an acre. Plant about 20 inches apart in the row and the rows 3 feet apart. In irrigated districts plant level and gradually hill to row. Irrigate about three times per month during hot weather and cultivate after each irrigation.

For green onions plant from Sept. 15 to March 1, in double rows six inches apart on ridges 12 inches apart at the rate of 4 oz. of seed to 100 feet of row. Thin out as pulled for table use and if any are left they will produce mature onions in five to seven months from planting. They will respond readily to liberal fertilization, chicken or barn yard manure be- ing highly recommended. Some commercial fertilizers will force them but affect the keep- ing qualities.

It grows very large, light yellow in color, globe shaped with a small top and is an excellent keeper and shipper. The unusual mildness and excellent flavor of the ARIZONA SWEET SPANISH has created a demand which exceeds by far tire supply of seed avail- able for this season.

Plantings made later than April will not prove very profitable, as they do not thrive in hot weather. In localities where frost does not occur until the middle of November, the quick-maturing sorts may be planted about the middle of September for a fall crop. Dwarf varieties can be planted in rows 1 to 18 inches apart, and the tall ones in rows 3 feet apart. When the planting is done during the cold months, the seed should be put down from 1 to 2 inches, and in the warmer months from 3 to 4 inches. In the garden the pods should be kept picked as the plants will bear longer. The tall varieties will continue bearing much longer than the dwarf kinds.

The color is a bright purple scarlet, almost globular in shape, slightly flattened at stem and blossom ends. It is very productive and quite early, producing large fruits which are protected from the sun by ample foliage, thus eliminating the loss of so many fruits from sun scalding. (Pkt. 10c), (oz. 60c), (1/4 lb. $2.00), (lb. $6.00), postpaid. CULTURE Tomatoes do best on light, warm, not over -rich soil, and success depends upon securing a rapid, vigorous and unchecked growth during the early part of the season. Sow in hot beds from 6 to 8 weeks before they can be set out of doors, which is when danger from frost is past. Transplant three to six feet apart in rows four to six feet apart, according to variety— three feet for those varieties of upright growth, as the Dwarf Champion, and six feet is not too far apart for vining varietiess which will soon cover the ground solidly. The soil should be plowed and pulverized to a depth of 10 or 12 inches, the deeper the better, in order that the roots may keep in the cool earth, for as soon as the roots are heated by the hot, dry soil near the surface, the plant quickly sickens and dies, and the grower can see no cause for it. We recommend the Earlianna for an early market tomato. One ounce of seed should produce 2,000 plants.

It should be planted at the rate of 2% to 3 pounds to the acre in drills 3 feet apart. Planting this quantity requires two seeds to be dropped every 24 inches, which distance will allow for stooling. In our yearly experiments we have noted that if Avondale M aize is given room the result is usually a stool of from three to seven stalks, each bearing a large well-filled head; while on the other hand, if it is crowded the tendency is to grow to a greater height and the heads are smaller, thereby making harvesting more difficult and more expensive. The usual custom is to plant with a lister, on pre- viously irrigated land, with sufficient moisture to germinate the seed. The first culti- vation may be with a harrow, to be followed later by an implement that will gradually fill the lister row and leave a dust mulch. This seed has been rogued and hand-picked in the field, selected, re-cleaned and thoroughly screened, thereby eliminating all small, imperfect and immature seeds. The common tendency is to plant too much seed per acre, therefore we urge you to follow these directionss closely and obtain maximum results.

ARIZONA DWARF MILO MAIZE Hand Selected ARIZONA DWARF is a wonderful strain of dwarf Milo Maize. This is a heavy pro- ducing, highly selected strain growing waist high and very uniform, thereby making a crop which is easily harvested. By listing 3 pounds to the acre it produces large well-filled heads that give us the maximum yield we are all looking for. Our method of thoroughly re- cleaning and screening our seed stock eliminates all small and immature seed. Arizona Dwarf should be planted and cultivated in the same manner as our famous Avondale Milo Maize. (Per lb. 15c), (10 lbs. $1.00), (50 lbs. $4.50), (100 lbs. $8.00). Express or postage extra.

AVONDALE HEGARI GRAIN AND FORAGE COMBINED Our Avondale Hegari is Systematically Grown, Selected and Recleaned for Seed Have you noticed the wonderful results obtained from our strain of Avondale Hegari? Results obtained from our experiments during the past season were so gratifying that not a doubt remains but what Hegari is one of the most reliable and profitable crops for the Arid Southwest. Unlike most other grain sorghums, Hegari not only produces a heavy crop of grain, but because of the sweet juicy stalk and foliage it has the added feature of making good pasture or roughage. The heads mature in about 115 days from planting and. the stalks re- main green much longer, making excellent forage, which all kinds of stock relish and which they will eat to the ground. The average grain yield of Hegari seems to be about 4,000 pounds of threshed grain per acre, and we think with our selected seed and good cultivation that this yield may be materially increased. Hegari grows about five feet high, produces a long, well-filled, white head, resembling Milo Maize. It should be planted in rows three feet apart at the rate of three pounds to the acre. It is drouth resistant, but will respond won- derfully to cultivation and irrigation. Our seed is grown from head selected stock and is systematically rogued in the field. The cost of planting AVONDALE HEGARI is very small, and taking yield into considera- tion, it *would be expensive to plant any other.

SWEET SORGHUMS FOR SYRUP AND FOR FORAGE MAKE YOUR OWN SYRUP The sweet sorghums are distinguished from the grain sorghums by the fact that the juices ure very sweet and sugary and the substance of the stem is very digestible. The juices are used for making syrups, and they are also planted for forage. With the shortage of sugar, we recom- mend planting for syrup, as small syrup mills are operating in various sections. HONEY DRIP SORGHUM This is a variety that is most popular as a syrup cane. It has long, slender, reddish heads and grows to a height of 8 to 12 feet, producing a heavy tonnage. It is not particular as to soil. For syrup purposes plant in rows far enough apart to allow cultivation. It requires about 10 pounds of seed to the acre planted in this man- ner, or 40 broadcast.

There are no more satisfactory flowers than those grown from seed, especially the easily grown and brilliant colored annuals, but they require care and proper soil preparation, for flower seeds are delicate. Soil that will bake and crust should have a liberal mixture of well-rotted manure and sand. In adobe soil a few pounds of air-slacked lime will assist in forming a better texture. In sowing seeds of hardy annuals, plant all medium sized seeds at a depth of M to Vi inch. Sweet Peas should go deeper. Very fine seeds should be pressed into the soil and a little sand or fine, well-rotted manure sprinkled over the surface. Water more frequently if the seed is close to the surface, and if necessary protect with cheesecloth until the seed germinates. When up, the plants should be thinned from 2 to 12 inches, de- pending on the variety; otherwise they will be weak and spindling.

They are of easy culture and no garden is complete without them. Select your space in the open, where the vines may be trained on a trellis, and dig a trench about two feet wide and eighteen inches deep. Put about three inches of well-rotted barnyard manure in the bottom of the trench, mix a sprinkle of manure and commer- cial fertilizer with the dirt that has been removed and replace it. Open a trench across the bed about six inches deep and plant one ounce of seed to 15 feet of drill in the bottom of it, covering the seed about one inch. Now fill this last trench with water and soak thoroughly, following with a sprinkle of fine manure to prevent the surface crusting. After the peas are up eight or ten inches begin to draw the dirt to them, gradually filling the planted trench and opening another trench about ten inches from the row through which to water them the rest of the season. Frequent cultivation is very necessary, and after the peas are 12 to 15 inches high a mulch of fine ma- nure should be applied to the entire bed and gradually worked into the soil. Keep them well watered, and at blooming time they should be cut each day to insure a long blooming period. GIANT SPENCER Sweet Pea Collection No. 5 — $1.50 20 Pkts.

Our roses are field grown, budded and own root stock, and are usually ready for shipment by January 15. We list here those varieties which have proven most successful under our soil and climatic conditions. In setting out roses a hole should be dug at least one foot in depth and 15 inches wide for each plant; the roots should be carefully spread out and covered with fine soil; manure should never be placed in actual contact with the roots, but near at hand, within reach of the new feed- ing roots when growth begins. The remaining soil should then be packed in firmly, the sur- face leveled and covered with about three inches of pulverized manure and straw. In selecting your varieties, please add to the order a few supplementary varieties lest by previous orders the stock of any particular one should be ex- hausted. SPECIAL NOTICE— IMPORTANT Place your orders for Roses early in the sea- son, as certain varieties become scarce as the season advances owing to the popular demand.

In the first place it is the most economical. Last season we proved by test that the Queen Colony Brooder ran the season on less than half the expense of our oil-burn- ing stoves. The great objection to a coal-burning brooder stove is the fact that it burns coal, but we have proven to our own satisfaction that the saving in fuel, the ab- solute reliability and the convenience of the Queen Col- ony Brooder make it easily the most desirable brooder stove. Brooding chicks in Arizona is a serious problem. So many folks think that because the sun shines seven days in the week in a moderate climate that it is not necessary to make elaborate preparations for brooding, but that idea is all wrong. A chick that gets chilled is a weakling, its growth is stunted and it is subject to white diarrhoea. On the other hand, if they are kept warm and growing, the loss is very much less and a strong, healthy brood is the result. The original investment in a brooder stove may seem large, but if one stops to think that the loss of 20C chicks in a season will probably cover the original investment and the equipment is still good for years to come. Good brooding is just as important as good hatching, and the Queen Colony Brooder will do the job right.

NICO DUST is a dry pow- der which, applied with a blower, affords a material saving in time, labor and expense. A trial will convince you that it is both effective and economical. Our best recommendation ia the hundreds of repeat orders we received last season for use in combatting Aphis on melon vines. GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR APPLYING DUSTING WITH A NICO DUSTER NICO DUST No. 5 contains 5% Nicotine. (5-lb. lb. drum, $18.00). NICO DUST No. 6 contains 6% Nicotine. (5-lb. drum, $21.00). NICO DUST No. 10 contains 10% Nicotine-Very $8.50), (100-lb. drum, $29.00). Do not wait until the pests become abundant because by that time great damage has been done. Get a good dusting machine and dust the plants thoroughly. Apply direct to infected portions of the plants. “NICO DUST” products are most powerful in warm, bright sunshine and should be applied when the air is still or disturbed only by a slight breeze. Dusting in the early morning gives the best results. It is an extremely fine dust, and has greater power of penetration than the liquid spray. It gives off a strong nicotine gas or vapor which kills insects even when none of the dust ac- tually reaches them. It is made especially to exterminate insects such as cabbage aphis, melon aphis, grape leaf hoppers, onion thrip, citrus thrip, and all plant lice. NICO DUST is made in three strength*.

DIRECTIONS FOR KILLING ANTS WITH CACIUM CYANIDE There are several effective methods for using this product, as follow*: TEMPORARY REPRESSION: Place a tablespoonful of the CYANIDE in a small three-inch circle around the ant hill so that the ants will fall dead as they crawl over the poison in try- ing to get into their nest. Follow up the first treatment every 5 or 10 days to get the eggs as fast as they hatch out until it is certain that no more ants are left. PERMANENT EXTERMINATION: Locate all active ant hills either early in the morning or late in the even- ing, as the ants are more active and easily observed at these periods. Place & stake at each active hole so located. Then wait until the warmer part of the day when the ants are all in their nest. Then take a shovel and carefully dig into each hill, following out each lateral, and sprinkle the CYANIDE on the ants and on all eggs. Then place the dirt on top of the ants and eggs so treated. The gas from the CYANIDE will penetrate all through the loose earth that you have spaded up and will kill ants even some distance away from where you ac- tually place the poison, but it is important to dig to the extreme end of each lateral and thoroughly treat the entire system. ANOTHER TEMPORARY METHOD OF USING THE CYANIDE IS AS FOLLOWS: When all ants are in the hill, place a tablespoonful of the flakes in a pint of water. Stir thoroughly and pour the solution down the hole. Repeat every ten days until all ants are killed. IMPORTANT: Open cans only outdoors in the fresh air and avoid breathing the gas, as it is very poisonous. Wash hands after working with CYANIDE. Keep cover on tight except when removing contents, as the contents will lose killing power if ex- posed to the air for too long a period. The use of CYANIDE leaves a white ap- pearing deposit around the ant hole which might be licked by the livestock if they thought it was salt. It would be well to cover your work with earth if live- stock is present.
