General Directions for Ordering

NAME and ADDRESS— Be sure that your name and
address are written plainly* Write in the proper place on
the order blank Post Office, County, Rural Delivery, Box
Number and nearest Express Office.

ORDER EARLY — -We endeavor to ship all orders with-
in 24 hours after we receive them, but during the rush
season from February to April delays are sometimes un-
avoidable. If patrons can anticipate their wants and order
early ii will be to our mutual benefit.

REMITTANCES — -Should be made by post office
money order, express money order, or bank draft, for a
sufficient amount to cover the entire order and postage,
if any. Do not send currency. Should it be lost there is
no recourse. Stamps of two cent denomination will be
accepted for small amounts.

PARCEL POST- — Parcel Post rates apply on weights
up to 70 pounds in the first, second and third zones,
and in all zones of 300 miles or more the limit weight is
fifty pounds. Parcel post rates are usually cheaper than
express, with the added advantage of having the parcel
delivered to your door. We pay postage on all seeds in
this Catalogue listed in packets, half ounce, ounce, quar-
ter pound, pound and two pound quantity. On all seed
and bulb collections we pay the postage. On small or-
ders of bulbs we pay the postage, but not on the larger
quantity.

POSTAGE NOT PAID— On orders of larger quantity
at “not prepaid” prices stated in the Catalogue you pay
the postage, express or freight. The same applies to
quantity lots of bulbs at “not prepaid” prices.

On larger orders of seeds, say in I 0 or 20 pound lots,
at “not prepaid” prices, it will be necessary for you fo
send postage extra if you want it by parcel post, but if it
is to be sent by freight or express you can pay the trans-
portation charges at your freight or express office when
you receive the goods. Remember, tho, that if you want
your order of “not prepaid” seeds or bulbs sent by parcel
post the postage must be paid in advance and you must
send us the amount of postage in addition to the cost of
the seed or bulbs. If you do not know the zone you are in
from Los Angeles your postmaster or R. F. D. carrier
can tell you.

TO FIGURE POSTAGE- — “First figure the total weight
in pounds on “not prepaid” items you are ordering, then
find zone you are in from Los Angeles. If you have ten
pounds of “not prepaid” items and you are in the first
or second zone the postage would be 1 6c, the third
zone 26c, the 4th zone 45c, etc., straight across the
chart giving the parcel post zone rates. (See chart of par-
cel post zone rates.) Seventy pounds is the weight limit
in the first, second and third zones — fifty pounds the
weight limit in all other zones. If larger quantities are
wanted it will be necessary to put the order up in two
or more parcels and the postage must be figured on par-
cel individually.

FOREIGN PARCEL POST — -The parcel post rate to
foreign countries is 1 4 cents per pound. Foreign cor-
respondents should add a sufficient amount to cover
postage at this rate, if not ordering postpaid articles.

MEXICO SHIPMENTS— All orders sent by express or
freight to Mexico have an extra charge, as follows; Or-
ders to the value of $5.00 to $50.00 require $1.00 extra,
and orders above $50.00 require $2.00 extra for consular
fees. All orders sent by parcel post are free of these
charges.

ERRORS — -While we exercise the utmost care in fill-
ing orders we find that occasionally errors occur, in
which event we ask you to please notify us promptly
and we suggest that you keep copy of your orders for
comparison.

NON-WARRANTY : Note — There are so many contin-
gencies to be encountered in growing plants from seed
and in setting out plants that are dependent on the
weather and other conditions over which we have no con-
trol, that success in planting is not altogether dependent
on the seed or plant. We will send out only seed which
we believe will grow and produce the kind of plant and
variety represented, but:

Aggeler & Musser Seed Co. give no warranty, ex-
pressed or implied, as to description, quality, productive-
ness, or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs, plants or
trees they send out, and they will not be responsible in
any way for the crop.

THIRTY-FOURTH ANNUAL CATALOGUE

of the

Aggeler & Musser Seed Company

Los Angeles, California

California Seedsmen for Thirty-Two Years

Grown under most favorable climatic conditions, California seeds are recognized as the high-
est quality obtainable and in addition to this, the AGGELER & MUSSER SEED COMPANY
have to offer thirty-two years’ experience in growing, selecting, improving and distributing.

During that time we have introduced to growers many excellent varieties of Vegetable and
Flower Seeds that have played an important part in the upbuilding of the agricultural wealth
of California. Among these are : A & M California Pearl Cauliflower, introduced by us in
1900 and approximately 7,000 acres are being grown annually at this time ; White Rose Potato,
introduced in 1901 and now grown more extensively than any other ; A & M Los Angeles Mar-
ket Lettuce, introduced in 1903, thirty to thirty-five thousand carloads of this lettuce now being
shipped out of California annually ; A & M Hybrid Casaba, introduced in 1902 and A & M Golden
Beauty Casaba in 1908, now the leading casabas on the market; A & M Anaheim Chili Pepper;
Klondike and Chilean Watermelons; A & M First Early Tomato and many others too numerous
to mention.

Our latest introductions are : The A & M Riverside Sweet Spanish Onion. This is now at-
tracting the attention of growers and consumers alike throughout the country. Now comes the
A & M White Sweet Spanish Onion, offered this year in limited quantity for the first time and
destined to become a leader wherever it is grown.

It is with considerable pride that we look back over the years of successful seed growing
that we have enjoyed and, in soliciting the business of planters throughout the country, we can
only add that we expect to do as well in the future as we have in the past, and by so doing we
hope to gain many more friends among those who till the soil.

Retail Store, 7SO S. Spring St.

We invite Southern California friends to visit our Retail Store, located at 750 S. Spring
Street, near Eighth. Here you will find a complete stock of Seeds, Bulbs and Plants, Canary
Birds, Cages and Cage Supplies, Gold Fish, Aquariums, Dog Foods and Remedies, Incubators
and Poultry Supplies, Sprays and Sprayers, Fertilizers, Garden Tools and, in fact, everything
one should find in an up-to-date seed store.

Market Gardener’s Branch, 767 S. Central Ave.

This store, under the management of Mr. J. A. Harts, is located in the heart of the market
district for the convenience of Southern California Market Gardeners. Here you will find expert
California seedsmen ready to give you intelligent information and sound advice. Here you may
secure your seeds, fertilizer, general supplies, without the inconvenience of downtown traffic. With
our thirty-two years of close co-operation with Southern California Market Gardeners, we under-
stand fully the requirements of this trade and we give particular attention to it. We want every-
one who is interested in market gardening to feel free to come to us for information. It will be
given freely and cheerfully and without any obligation on your part.

ment. As soon as seeds are received a laboratory test is made for germination and purity and

cient and satisfactory service.

SEEDS

A & M Asparagus

Drill the seed thinly in rows fifteen inches apart
culture during March or April. Thin out to two inches
apart for strong plants.

Exercise great care in preparing a field because it will lasu
many years. , ,

Transplant during February setting the roots one foot apart,
in furrows six feet apart. Carefully spread out to avoid matting.
The furrows should be ten or twelve inches deep and run North
and South to get the sun on both sides of the rows. Cover
the roots about three inches and as the plant grows throw
the soil toward the plant. Each year when the berries are
red, cut the plants close to the ground and burn, then dust
the entire field with Anchor Brand sulphur, to destroy any
germs of mildew, red spider or rust that may be there. Keep
a mulch over the row with a harrow, but cultivate more deep-
ly between the rows. Use stable manure liberally and hill up
a little higher each year. Irrigate freely during the growing
period. Three pounds of seed is sufficient to plant an acre.

Plant one year old roots and do not cut them back. When
planting see that the roots are well spread out so that the
soil will touch every part. If this is not done the plant can-
not thrive.

Mary Washington Roots

We grow our asparagus roots in good,
clean land and they are given the very
best attention in the way of cultivation.

If you are planting an acreage of Aspara-
gus tell us how many roots you expect to
use and let us quote you prices on the larger
quantity. Roots are usually ready for ship-
ping about January 15th. (60c per dozen)

(100, $3.00) (1,000, $15.00).

An excellent variety for
f-i.rgeni.euil the canner and early
shipper. This variety is now more exten-
sively grown by large planters and shippers
because it is more prolific and stands ship-
ping better. Also its purple tinge is attrac-
tive, and its excellent flavor puts it on an
equal with the Palmetto for table use.

REMARKS: The green growth above the
ground is tender and palatable. The white
stem below the surface is tough and unpal-
atable. Why then is the custom to cut so
deep? Would it not be better and a fairer
practice to allow the stem to grow a little
taller in order that the consumer may get
more nearly full measure when he buys a
pound of asparagus? To do this would cause Mary Washington
no loss to the grower. Asparagus

ARTICHOKE

CULTURE: Sow any time except during hottest weather,
when all seed beds require special care. Soil should be a free,
moist loam and seeds should be planted an inch deep. Plant
out when six inches high in rows four feet apart each way.
Save offsets from best plants for new supply, as artichokes
never come true from seed, some will prove inferior. When
planting seedlings, reject those with spiniest leaves.

A & M Beans

Write for Quantity Prices

Market gardeners who are beginners and not familiar with
gardening in the Southwest would do well to consult us either
in person or by mail before buying, as to variety and time of
planting. Special attention should be given to the instructions
concerning the time of planting, which is an important factor
in Southern California, as each month requires a different
variety according to the market for which they are grown.

All A & M Beans, Peas and Corn are hand-picked. This gives
the grower more and better seed per pound. When buying get
the best.

The hand picking of seed beans is a task of large proportion
and it may surprise you to know that we have employed al-
most throughout the entire year, six or more persons con-
stantly hand-picking beans, peas and corn. The cost of hand
picking is never less than one cent per pound and often as much
as two cents,, according to the amount of waste that is picked
out.

The loss to the planter of seed that is not hand-picked is ap-
proximately 10 per cent of the crop. Cheap seeds are dear at
any price. We realized this 35 years ago, hence the A & M
reputation for quality.

Culturf* During the early spring give sandy soil preference,
vuuuic but heavy soil in summer. When the ground is
properly moistened and pulverized, plant bush beans one or two
seeds every four inches, in rows twenty to twenty-four inches
apart. If the soil is heavy, one-half inch is deep enough.
Plant deeper in sandy soil. During the cool spring months
plant shallow; during the hot summer months plant down to
moist earth. Do not plant in soil that is too wet, nor irrigate
immediately after planting, else the seed will rot. During the
winter months do all irrigating in the morning, because the
water from the pipe is warm and will help the growth. When
applied in the evening the water chills the plants, cools the
soil, retards the growth and causes mildew. During hot sum-
mer days irrigate in the later afternoon. Never sprinkle beans.

To prevent mildew dust frequently with Anchor Brand sul-
phur while the plants are young. Mildew may be prevented
but is difficult to cure.

Sulphur will not cure, but will arrest and prevent mildew.

Mulford Culture

Inoculate beans at time of planting with Mulford Culture.
This will not only benefit the land but will increase the yield
materially. Garden size 35c, % acre 75c, 1 acre $1.50, 5 acres
$5.00.

BUTTER WAX

Illustrated on Front Cover

The demand for wax beans
is gradually increasing in the
local market and this bean
has become a decided favor-
ite because of its clean and
most attractive yellow color.
They are so clean and crisp
looking that buyers just
cannot resist them. We
think that they are the
coming bean for the com-
mercial grower and many
gardeners who planted them
last season bear proof of
our contention. Tkey are
very early and exceedingly
prolific. The pods are long,
straight and of uniform size.
They are absolutely string-
less, resistant to Rust and
Mildew, and of bush habit.
The blossoms set well
throughout the summer and
are not affected by heat.
The home gardener will find
them a highly satisfactory
bean, easily grown and ex-
ceedingly prolific. (Pkt. 10c)

It is not generally known that —

When your bush varieties of string beans have borne a crop
don’t pull them up but as soon as you have finished the last
picking, cut the bush off about six inches above the ground.
A new growth will appear and in a remarkably short time
bear another crop of beans. The same is true of Fordhook

A&M Rust Resistant Kentucky Wonder

An improved and selected strain. Realizing the importance
of having a strain of Kentucky Wonder Beans that is more
resistant to rust we have been selecting and improving along
this line until we now have what we consider one that is more
immune to attack by rust than any other.

Reports from customers during the past year indicate that
this bean is all that we claim for it and commercial growers
are very enthusiastic over it.

Along the coast and where there is considerable moisture in
the air the A&M Rust Resistant Kentucky Wonder will
thrive and yield well even under adverse weather conditions.

White Seeded Kentucky Wonder

This popular Bean was first introduced by us in 1909. Be-
cause of its resemblance to the well-known Kentucky Wonder
but having white seed, we named it the White Seeded Ken-
tucky Wonder. It proved to be all that we had claimed for
it, so that it is now the most popular green Bean on the
market. It is preferred by the shippers because of its solid
pods, and by the canners for the same reason. The grower
prefers it because it is a good seller and a money-maker.

This variety of the many pole beans may truly be termed
the All-Round Money-Maker. It is as hardy and rust re-
sistant as the Canadian Wonder. In the South where easi-
ness and lateness mean so much to the market gardener, the
White Seeded Kentucky Wonder is far ahead of other varie-
ties. It is enormously prolific of firm pods that withstand
shipping to almost any part of the United States. It matures
ten days earlier than the Browm Seeded Kentucky Wonder.

The seed is pure white, and on that account is a profitable
commercial bean. It is the best bean for the gardener, the
shipper and canner. (Pkt. 10c) (J/2 lb. 20c) (lb. 40c) (10 lbs.

The Kentucky Wonder was for many
LveillUCtvy VV onuer years the most popular bean with
market gardeners as well as for the home gardeners. Its
long round stringless pods are- very prolific and tender. Its
only drawback was the fact that it is much more susceptible
to mildew than other varieties. For April and May planting
it cannot be excelled. It has brown seed of little value as
dry beans. (Pkt. 10c) (/2 lb. 20c) (lb. 35c.) (10 lbs. $3.00) pre-

garden bean soon reached nationwide proportions, and today
is offered by nearly every seedsman in the United States. It
commences to bear when scarcely higher than the average bush
variety, and keeps on producing until killed by a frost. It
is a rampant grower, one plant filling a pole with a mass of
vines densely loaded with luscious golden beans. They are firm,
entirely stringless, and when cooked, deliciously rich and but-
tery. The seed is brown, closely resembling that of the Ken-
tucky Wonder. Plant from April to August. (Pkt. 10c) (J/2 lb.

small top, and are easily trimmed. The roots are heavy, but
are so easily harvested that they may be uprooted by a push
of the foot. The 'flesh is white, solid, tender and very sweet and
imparts a rich, pleasant flavor to dairy products when fed to
milch cows. Also particularly good for fattening hogs. Half

is better to have a new crop every year. The tender leaves
make it a desirable plant for poultry greens; much more de-
sirable than alfalfa, because it can be grown with less care
and in any convenient place about the premises. Try it for

A & M

The secret of growing hardy plants is to thoroughly
VUlUirc prepare the soil in the plant bed. Plow the soil to a
depth of eight or ten inches, pulverize well. Sow in drills
not too freely, about one-half inch deep, press the soil firmly
over the seed; this is important. In about six weeks trans-
plant in rows three feet apart, one foot in the row for Win-
nigstadt, eighteen inches for large-heading varieties. Keep
the crop well watered and cultivated for when the growth is
checked the seed head matures and bursts forth as soon as
moisture is again applied. This accounts for much cabbage
going to seed. Early varieties mature about three and one-
half months after transplanting, late varieties in about five
months.

Cabbage may be grown all the year in Southern California
and throughout the Southwest.

It should be borne in mind that the big planting of cab-
bage is intended to meet the Eastern demand in midwinter
and early spring, and that our time of planting is out of the
natural season, and therefore often subjected to unseasonable

Cabbage

weather, which causes it to be stunted and often shoot to
seed. The wonder is that any of it matures.

Improper culture, too, will stunt the normal growth of cab-
bage and cause the heads to prematurely go to seed.

Cabbage requires heavy soil but good drainage and fre-
quent but shallow cultivation.

Should there be a cold spell when the thermometer lingers
below 25 degrees, just at the time the cabbage begins to
head, you may expect twenty-five per cent of your crop to
shoot to seed.

One large and constant grower says: “November trans-
planting escapes the hard winter season that causes so much
loss by shooting to flower.”

Five ounces of seed will produce plants for one acre.

Ahpids may be controlled by spraying with Destruxol or
Black Leaf 40 and for worms and other leaf eating insects,
spray with Arsenate of Lead.

A & M GOLDEN
ACRE CABBAGE

This is one of the earliest varieties of cabbage we
have ever had in our trials. It resembles somewhat in
shape the Copenhagen Market, but is a trifle smaller in
size and is 12 to 14 days earlier. In habit of growth
it is quite dwarf, very compact and produces a head of
desireable size for family use or for packing. The heads
average in weight 2 1-2 to 3 pounds. Because of its
compactness and the few leaves it may be planted 12
to 14 inches apart in the row and at this rate about
15,000 plants are required for one acre. It is very solid,
of uniform shape and size and is what we consider an
extra fine all around variety. After several tests on
this new strain we found local gardeners greatly in-
terested in it and we are placing it on the market in
quantity for the first time this year. Our strain of seed
comes from the originator and is carefully selected by
us for uniformity and other qualities of importance.

A & M Cauliflower

ARt M Cauliflower is a great favorite from Cali-

©t Ivi I Carl fornia to New York, because of its ex-
cellent shipping qualities. It originated here and has made
Southern California famous for her excellent cauliflower. The
California Pearl is thoroughly adapted to our mild winter climate
and is particularly suited for shipping because of the flower be-
ing completely enveloped within spiral curled leaves, which pro-
tect the flower from injurious exposure to rain, sunshine or frost,
but particularly from injury in packing and in transit. It
retains its fresh appeara.nce longer than any other variety.
It is decidedly the shipper’s favorite. It is the gardener’s,
the dealer’s and the consumer’s favorite. To be packed for
shipping it is only necessary to cut the stem at the base of
the head, and the leaves about two inches above the head.
This leaves foliage enough to cover the crown without wrap-
ping in paper. These heads are packed two layers in a crate
(16 inches deep), with the base at the top and bottom, the
crowns facing the center, usually 24 heads per crate.

The small grower may plant at any time from May until
February, but for profit the large grower should carefully
peruse instructions given with each variety.

A & M Pearl Cauliflower

‘(For Shippers) — Choose soil from a rich loam to
c a heavy adobe. The field should be level to af-
ford a uniform moisture. Avoid planting Cauliflower or Cab-
bage on a hillside.

Early varieties should be planted in the seed bed from May
1st to July 1st. Late varieties from June 1st to August 1st.
Early planting of seed is advised in order that the plant may
have fully developed before the proper season for maturing.
Growers are constantly endeavoring to mature a normal crop
out of season. Proper culture will accomplish much toward
producing a good crop but too much is expected out of the
normal season.

Plants should be ready to transplant from six to eight
weeks after seed is planted. Early varieties should be ready
for market in November; late varieties in December and
January, and later according to the time of planting the seed.

Do not attempt to grow Cauliflower or Cabbage unless you
have water in abundance.

Five ounces of seed will produce plants for one acre.

How Cauliflower is Planted

The field is irrigated several days before and the furrow im-
mediately after planting. Note the size of the plants, aiso see
the water coming in the furrow.

Early Snowball

11 This variety is in a class by itself for earli-
kjuuwuaii ness. The demand for seed begins in April
for May planting, which is ready for the local market begin-
ning October 1st.

There is good profit in the early variety, but care should
be exercised to avoid blighting by excessively hot weather.
At such times apply water abundantly, but cultivate judi-
ciously to prevent any baking of the soil. (Pkt. 25c) (i/4 oz.

A & M Table Carrots

Ciil f nr f* Sow one ounce of seed to 100 feet of row, three
V'Ui Litre: p0unds per acre.

Carrots are very profitable because of the large quantity
that a small patch can produce, and there is no waste, as any
surplus may be fed to rabbits or other animals.

Carrots may be planted all the year round. Sow the seed
from one-half to one inch deep in rich, moist, loamy soil, well
prepared. Sow in rows eight inches apart, and as thin as
the drill can be set to sow, or, if sown by hand, aim to have
two seed to the inch, or sow in ridges same as lettuce. The
carrot has few insect enemies. Nematode is the worst. Irri-
gate same as for beets. Carrots are ready for use in eight
weeks and remain palatable for six months or longer.

Market— The local demand for Carrots is all the year round,
but the chief demand is from the shipper, who wants them
from December 1st until May. For this trade the seed should
be planted in August and September. The shipper wants the
Chantenay. Oxheart and Danver Half Long.

There are many rabbit hutches within the city where car-
rots are used throughout the year. If you live a convenient
distance from one of these places you may be able to secure
a contract from the owner to furnish carrots. Chantenay
and Danver’s half long are now the favorites with large
growers.

A & M Celery

Piiltiir** Sow one-ha]f ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill; % lb.

V'U11UIC per acre. Sow the seed from Jan. 1st to May 1st, in
drills 6 inches apart, not too thick in the row to secure stalky
plants. In June when the plants are strong, transplant t<?
furrows three feet apart and six inches deep. Set the plants
six inches apart in the furrows; as the plant grows fill the
earth toward the plant to secure proper bleaching. Never
allow dirt to rest on the heart of the plant. Never work in
celery when it is wet with rain or dew. Spray frequently
with Bordeaux.

Celery Rot — Do not allow water to stand during the heat of
the day after irrigating. It will cause Celery Rot in the early crop.

Hollow Stem — When the growth is rank and the stalks so
close that free ventilation of air is retarded during the hot

weather, the stems become soft and hollow; therefor, we rec-

ommend the single -row planting.

Market: — The local consumption and outlying distribution dis-
poses of a very large acreage, but owing to its erratic nature
it requires a peculiar soil and professional culture. Therefore,
there are few localities where it can be forced to earliness.
May, June and July celery brings a high price to the grower.
Then there comes an oversupply until the shipper disposes

of it. When a surplus exists cold storage is resorted to, with

doubtful profit, on account of the perishable nature, the shrink-
age and the expense.

for sweet corn through-
out the season, from the

When we have a good thing and know it we believe in talking
about it and recommending it until you begin to realize that it
is really worth while. This is true of the Salad Cucumber.
One of our own introductions and one of the finest cucumbers
ever grown. We are sure that eventually this cucumber will be
one of the very popular varieties on the market of Southern
California and the commercial grower who gets his trade
started on it is going to find ready sales for all he can raise.
For the home gardener a few hills of Salad Cucumber will be
one of the most interesting things in the garden and the crisp
tasty cucumbers will provide a most delicious salad. The pic-

Chayote as it Should be Planted

Cultural Directions

One fruit envelopes one seed,
which sprouts from the large end.
Plant where you intend it shall grow. Cover only the large end,
leaving the small end exposed. (See picture.) Or let the fruit
lie around until it has well sprouted, and then plant the seed,
leaving the sprout well above ground. Water freely and do not
be alarmed if frost should destroy it. A new shoot will soon
appear. Give it abundance of water throughout the hot sum-
mer season.

The Chayote is no longer a novelty. It has now become an
article of commerce. It may be found on sale at many gro-
cery stores throughout the season, which lasts from October
until March.

The vine is a rampant grower. The first year from seed it
will grow twenty to thirty feet. Destroyed to the ground by
frost, it soon sends out new growth, and during the second
season will extend vines forty or fifty feet in every direction.
During September it starts blooming, having a small, white,
insignificant flower. Within four weeks the fruit is large enough
for the table. One vine in two years if properly trellised will
produce more than one thousand fruit.

plants have reached a good size, gather the leaves closely to-
gether and tie loosely in an upright bunch. This blanches the
inner leaves in about ten days and adds to the crispness as a
salad, as it renders the flavor mild and delicate. One ounce will
sow 400 feet of row.

This plant furnishes an attractive and appetizing salad for

may be had nearly all the year ’round.

I Anoplpe MavL-iaf Durin§' the Past few years there
J-iUd migclca iVlartvci has been an insistent demand

for us to put our strain of this Lettuce up in sealed bags. For
two y.ears we have supplied a few of our customers seed in
specially branded and sealed bags and due to the many letters
coming to us expressing satisfaction of this method of pro-
cedure, we are this year offering through the Catalog and the
dealer, sealed bags of our now famous strain, A & M Los

rkiVban I aHnra This variety of lettuce should not be
LOlCKen .LiettUULLe confused with the regular heading or
loose-leaved varieties. The plant grows very much like kale,
to a height of four to five feet, with much growth of leaf. It
is used mainly for chicken and rabbit feeding. It absolutely
does not head and is seldom if ever used for table purposes.

This is next to Los Angeles Market as the heading
itcucig variety for the Southwest for the summer planting.
Of course it is better during the winter months, but not so
solid as the Los Angeles Market, which is strictly a winter
variety, while the Iceberg is a good all-season lettuce, and
hundreds of carloads of Iceberg are being shipped when the
other is not available. Iceberg Lettuce planted later than
March 1st should be grown on dark, heavy soil, because if
grown on light, sandy soil, the heat of the sun reflected from
the sand on the under side of the leaves causes them to
burn almost to the heart.

The light green, curled, red-tinged leaves of the Iceberg
form heads as large as the Los Angeles Market, but not so
solid, but it is as tender and crisp, and is of excellent flavor.

AGGELER & MUSSER SEED CO. RETAIL STORE: 750 S. SPRING ST.

The Amco Hotkap Paper
Plant Cover is strictly a
California product and is
the most convenient and
sure way of protecting
plants from early spring
frost. Great fields of tender
vegetable plants are cov-
ered each spring in Califor-
nia and the Amco Hotkap,
because of the convenience
of setting, has become the
most popular among the
thousands of growers in
California. It is so con-
structed that the wind can-
not blow it away because
the machine places dirt
around the edges to hold it down. They are already folded, ready for use.
One man can do the work of four. After setting the field looks uniform,
like a well kept garden. Amco Hotkaps are made from a transparent wax
paper which admits light to the plant, but still protects it from frost.
When the plants have grown to good size and it may still be too early to
remove the Kap, the top may be split and it will still remain as a protection,
but will give the plant additional light, air and room.

Eastern vegetable growers have become quite enthusiastic over the Amco
Hotkap and during the past year we shipped many thousands of them to
eastern States. For large growers who might need them in very large quantities it would be well to place orders some-
time in advance.

A & M Casabas

rnltiirp In general the culture for Casabas is the same as
VrUiiuic; for meion. You should plant Casabas according to
your locality, from February 15th until July 15th. For late
shipping many are planted from June 1st to July 15th.

Casabas may be taken from the vine as soon as they lose
the green lustre, but should not be eaten until the hard rind
of such varieties as the Pineapple and Golden Beauty will give
slightly under pressure of the thumb. The Improved Hybrid in
particular is not at its best until quite an impression can be
made with the thumb as in a mellow apple. The best way to
keep the Casaba. late into the Fall is to gather them together in
the hill, leaving them attached to the vines and covering them
completely with the vines. They should be planted about 8 feet
apart each way and it requires about one pound of seed for
an acre.

C* rJ rl Introduced by us in 1906, it at once
JDtrc&Uiy became popular locally. It is now grown
more extensively throughout California than any other casaba
because of its beautiful appearance, excellent shipping quali-
ties and delicious flavor. It is the casaba that added much
to the fame of California, as well as adding a million dollars
each year to the wealth of the state. (Pkt. 10c) (oz. 25c)

duced it quickly became popular. One would not believe another
melon could be better, but the Honey Dew hybridized with the
Tip Top produced a melon of the same outside appearance as
the Honey Dew but with a deep yellow flesh that is positively
more delicious. Do not hesitate to plant it if for the home
garden or for shipping. (Pkt. 10c) (oz. 30c) (i/4 lb. $1.00) (lb.

Santa Claus

priate to the melon.
It is a delightful
present to send to
your Eastern friends
at Christmas. It is of
delicious flavor, beau-
tiful in its mottled
gold and black color-
ing. and readily keeps
until January. We
advise that it be
grown more exten-
Santa Claus sively for the local

trade. The supply has
not been equal to the demand for several years. (Pkt. 10c)

Winlor PinaanJfl This is the first of Casabas intro-
tv 1 oiedppie duced into America. We have care-

fully maintained the purity of type so that it is now just as
distinct as when introduced more than forty years ago. This
and the Golden Beauty are identical in all except color, which
when mature is light green. The Winter Pineapple is more
profitable as a late melon, therefore we recommend to grow-
ers near the Coast that it be planted during June. Our type
of Winter Pineapple is round, selected for its good shipping
qualities. (Pkt. 10c) (oz. 25c) (</4 lb. 80c) (lb. $2.50) postpaid.

A & M Muskmelons

CULTURE FOR MELONS

The soil must be thoroughly soaked down to submoisture,
either by rain or irrigation. When dry enough plow ten or
twelve inches deep. Thoroughly pulverize the soil. Make fur-
rows eight to ten inches deep.

Plant the seed in the furrow at regular distances apart, six
feet for muskmelons; eight feet for casabas, and nine feet for
watermelons. Plant from February 15 until June 15. For late
shipping June is the best month for planting the Golden Beauty.

As the plant grows gather the soil around it until the roots
are twelve inches or more below the surface. Thin out all
surplus plants as soon as they are hardy and well established.
The rows are now straight and an equal distance apart. This
makes it easy to cultivate close to the hills, both lengthwise and
crosswise. Cultivate deeply as long as there is no danger of
disturbing the roots. Be always mindful that the roots are
as long as the vine, therefore when working close to the hills
and among the vines, let the hoeing or cultivating be shallow.

Always cultivate the irrigation furrow as soon as the soli
is dry enough to mulch nicely.

If this rule is intelligently adhered to your vines will never
suffer from drouth, or root blight, and will be healthier in
every way, because the roots are deep down in the cool, moist
earth unaffected by the heat of the sun. This is the secret
of success with all midsummer crops.

it is a ribbed melon the ribs are not prominent and the
melon is very heavily netted. The flesh is a rich orange
color, fine grained and of excellent flavor. The seed cavity is
small. It does not turn yellow when ripe but retains its natural
green color and remains solid and firm for days after it is
picked from the vine. The vines are very strong growers and
are rarely effected by rust. Hearts of Gold might be considered
one of the leading commercial varieties in California for ship-
ping purposes and we strongly recommend it be given a thorough
trial. (Pkt. 10c) (oz. 20c) VA lb. 55c) (lb. $2.00) postpaid.

Hybrid

A Sir This is a cross between the Winter

Oc 1V1 nyDiia Pineapple and the Montreal Musk-
melon. It grows to a very large size and is of delicious flavor.
It is a rampart grower and yields enormously; as many as
seventeen large melons were taken from one vine. It is profit-
able early and late. This melon is now grown as extensively
for a midsummer crop as the muskmelon, and finds a ready
sale. It originated locally, and is distinctly a Los Angeles
product. The people are now fully awake to the delicious flavor
of this Casaba. For the home garden or for the local market
plant the Prince of All Casabas. Plant from March 1st until
July 15th. (Pkt. 10c) (oz. 25c) (</4 lb. 85c) (lb. $2.50) postpaid.

P Just as the green Pineapple Casaba
LslHUcil ny Drill changed to the bright, yellow Golden
Beauty, so did the large green Hybrid Casaba change to the
Golden Hybrid which we introduced in 1917.

At that time we stated that it would in a few years super-
sede the Green Hybrid.

The season of 1924 showed on the market that a much larger
acreage had been planted to Golden Hybrid. It has superseded
the large green Hybrid. This is easily accounted for. The
dealers say that it is just as good as the Green Hybrid, and the
golden color makes it a better seller. It is no longer necessary
to give special recommendation to the Golden Hybrid — it is
now established as one of the best sellers. (Pkt. 10c) (oz. 35c)

toward a creamy yellow. It is not ready to be eaten until

as in a mellow apple.

The picture is typical of its shape; the average size is
about as large as a cocoanut, but the smaller sized melons
are not inferior in flavor. Every melon is a good one. Flesh
is light green and sweet as honey. The rind is light green
or silvery-gray in color, smooth as an egg and hard as the

A & M Watermelons

We grow every pound of our Watermelon Seed and field
rogueing is conducted under the most stringent rules.
One percent off type melons in the seed field will mean
ten percent off type for the grower; therefore, we are
careful to take out every vine that is producing melons
the least bit off in shape, color, or size. Search where
you will, you will find no better melon seeds than we
offer. In fact we probably supply the most critical trade
in the country — the large growers of the Imperial Valley
and other watermelon producing sections of the great
southwest, where melons are produced for shipment to
outside territory. Growers’ varieties are put up in sealed
and branded bags for your protection.

Culture Plant the seed in a furrow, dropping ten seeds
C every eight or ten feet apart; cover about one inch.
As the vines grow, hill the earth about them until the roots are
from ten to twelve 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 two rounds of plowing, and culti-
vate 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. Be sure to cul-
tivate after each irrigation, as soon as the nature of the soil
will permit. If these instructions are carefully followed you
will have thrifty vines throughout the season. Plant 1 to 1%
lbs. of seed to the acre.

A & M Klondike Watermelon

THE GENUINE STRAIN— A & M Klondike Water-
melon is without doubt the most popular melon in
the State of California. We introduced the Klondike
in 1909 and naturally we are very proud of its present
reputation. The Imperial Valley alone grows several
thousand acres of them for shipment to outside terri-
tory and they are always the first melon to arrive on
the Los Angeles market. The meat is a rich, bright
red and very appetizing. Vendors along the boule-
vards always cut a Klondike when they wish to attract
customers. The rind is thick enough to protect the
melon in shipping and yet it is not a thick, heavy rind
like many varieties. If you are planting for market or
for home consumption you will not go wrong by plant-
ing the Klondike. The genuine A & M strain is put
up in sealed bags for your protection. (Pkt. 10c) (oz.

Black Seeded Angeleno ™SAggeferothanra mIS

Seed Company. The original Angeleno had white seed. The
cafeteria managers said their trade required a black seeded
melon because they knew that when the seed was black the
melon was ripe.

We hybridized the Angeleno with Black Seeded Chilian and
got the desired results the first season. It required but two
years more to perfect the type. The flavor was also im-
proved. It at once became a favorite with shippers.

As a shipper it is extraordinary because it rarely breaks,
even supporting the weight of a man weighing 170 pounds.
A carload will average in weight from 25 to 30 pounds to the
melon.

It is like the original Angeleno in shape and appearance
except the stripe of the Chilian is sometimes apparent. (Pkt.

White Seeded Angeleno

melons — its large size, beautiful dark green rind with a tinge
of gold showing through the green. No other variety com-
pares with the Angeleno in its bright red flesh, red to the
rind, and entirely free from fibre, simply melts. If the picker
will observe the gold showing through the green as soon as it
is ripe, he need never pick an unripe melon. The seed of
white seeded Angeleno very often splits, therefore, it is well
to soak the seed in water an hour or two before planting.
This will cause the seed to close up and prevent danger of
soil getting into the seed shell and causing decay.

This new melon is slowly but surely
forcing itself into favor because of the

many good qualities which are not apparent at first acquaint-
ance. The flavor when cold is sweet, crisp and surprisingly
delicious, and when you have finished you realize that you
have eaten a melon as entirely distinct from a water melon,
as the Casaba is apart from the Cantaloupe and just as de-
licious. Like the Casaba it should not be eaten right off
the vine, but be allowed to lie around until the first signs of
decay. It decays slowly like an apple, not like other water-
melons. (Pkt. 10c) (oz. 35c) (A lb. $1.00) (lb. $3.00) postpaid.

FOR ALL KINDS OF MELONS

FOR APHIS — First keep the vines hardy by deep planting
and proper cultivation, irrigation and fertilizing. Then if the
aphis appears, which is unlikely, spray with Nico-Dust, or
bury the affected part with dust. Either way is a constant
fight. Lady bugs in some instances are destroying the aphis
very satisfactorily.

FOR MELON BLIGHT that is caused by a fungus at the
root, spray the hill freely with Bordeaux so that the liquid
will follow the stem several inches beneath the surface. This
should be done as a precaution rather than as a remedy.

READ THIS. If you would prolong the life of your vines,
make a path between the rows by training the vines to grow
along the rows and not across from one row to the other.

For a good yield of melons grow a crop of Melilotus indica
during the winter. Plow under during February; broadcast
two sacks of each of Toro Sulphur and lime. This is a pre-
caution against blight and will fertilize your field as nothing
else will do.

Mildew and Red Spider Control on Peas,
Beans, Melons and Other Surface Crops

Mildew Control

Jv CT(V

PEAS, BEANS, AND
OTHER SURFACE
CROPS' are quite sub-
ject to mildew attack
and the progressive
grower of quality and
quantity produce usual-
ly takes precautionary
measures to avoid the
disastrous effects in the
wake of this fungus.
As in the case of insect
pests and other trou-
bles, the whole secret
of Powdery Mildew con-
trol is a matter of pre-
vention rather than
cure.

The progressive grow-
er, treating preventive-
ly, knows that quality
and quantity cannot be
produced if mildew gets
a start on his pea or
bean vines for this
superficial fungus re-
duces the growth of all
the parts of the vines
and a loss is bound to
result, even though a
cure is obtained later
on.

An early application
of dry dusting sulphur
will often suffice to
keep plants free from
serious mildew infection
throughout the growing season. This preventive treatment
is easy, cheap and most efficient and should be a part of the
regular routine farm work. If the application of dusting sul-
phur for mildew control on any plant is delayed until the in-
fection is plainly visible to the eye, then one may be sure
that there will be an expensive battle on hand.

Of course the writer recognizes that during favorable seasons
very little mildew damage might occur. However, no pro-
gressive grower can logically gamble on weather conditions.

One crop lost through mildew or red spider damage will pay
for many, many years of consistent, preventive dustings with
SUBLIMED VELVET FLOWERS OF SULPHUR.

1} 1 O RED SPIDERS ON PEAS AND

IxGQ opiaer V^OIlirCJl BEANS and other surface crops
can be easily controlled by dusting with SUBLIMED VELVET
FLOWERS OF SULPHUR, providing the application is made
at the proper time.

In the case of Red Spiders (Tetranychus telarius) it is well
to'consider the habits of this tiny plant mite. It is usually red
in color and can be found on the leaves of Beans and Peas
and a great many other crops. The eggs are usually laid di-
rectly on the under side of the leaves, hence it is necessary
to use a form of sulphur that will float throughout the plants
and adhere well to the underside of the leaves. This is righly
important as the value of dusting sulphur largely depends on
having a good coverage or coating of sulphur present when
the young spiders hatch.

TIME TO SULPHUR— The fully-matured spiders are very
much more difficult to' control than the newly-hatched; there-
fore it is quite apparent that an early application of sulphur is
necessary. Do not wait until the plants are covered with the
mites, but start control measures at the very first indication
of infestation. The careful grower will make regular inspec-
tion trips of the bean patch and be constantly on guard against
this very serious pest.

An early application of Dry Sulphur before any trace of
Spider can be found will prove to be of far greater value than
the later applications against the matured spiders. In other
words, if a light protective coating of SUBLIMED FLOWERS
OF SULPHUR is always maintained in order to kill the newly-
hatched nymphs, the absolute protection of the plants is
assured.

KIND OF SULPHUR— A light but perfect distribution of sul-
phur is absolutely essential, and can best be accomplished by
the use of SUBLIMED VELVET FLOWERS OF SULPHUR.
This is the lightest, fluffiest sulphur on the market today, and
aside from its superior insecticidal value, it is also the most
economical to use because of its great bulk and covering prop-
erty. Since the eggs of the red spider are deposited on the
under side of the leaves it is necessary that the sulphur par-
ticles be extremely light in order that they may float to all
parts of the plants.

By using the power blowers or the inexpensive knapsack
sulphur blowers, now on the market, it is possible for one

man to make an application of dry sulphur over a large area
much cheaper than sulphur can be applied in any other form
(liquid or paste). From 20 to 50 lbs. of sulphur per acre, de-
pending on the means of application, are usually required.

NOTE— ANCHOR BRAND SULPHUR Is the Sublimed Flow-
ers of Sulphur and the one you should use for the above
purpose.

Attention, Melon Growers

The following is a letter from an Imperial Valley cantaloupe
grower. Read it.

Gentlemen:

I had twenty acres of Cantaloupes this last season, variety
Ten-Twenty-Five, Salmon Tint, and this acreage was growing
fine, until about the 15th of April, when we had heavy rains
and consequently cold weather. A presentment or anxiety sent
me into the field to see if it was not suffering. I found then
some Mildew, where I had some last year. So I sprayed with
some mixed preparation (powder) but with no good effect. The
Mildew has spread all over the field to my disgust.

In figuring for some source of relief I was then reminded
about Sulphur Spray I performed on Summer Squash, where it
was afflicted with the Mildew. I figured, “If Sulphur was good
for Summer Squash, why was it not good for the Cantaloupes?”

So, early one morning when the wind was calm and the
weather good, I started to spread Anchor Sulphur right around
the Cantaloupe hills, taking special precautions to see that the
leaves and vines were not contaminated with the Sulphur.

Unfortunately the weather that day was very hot and con-
tinued for an additional four or five days after I had applied
this Sulphur and learned, that within a week that all the leaves
on the plants were all yellow, but ALL MILDEW WAS
EXTERMINATED.

This was all very discouraging, but I still kept inspecting
the field and within another week new vines had covered all
over the ridges and in the end I finally harvested TWO HUN-
DRED AND FIFTY crates to the acre.

If I did not follow this procedure and had not applied this
Sulphur I am afraid there would not have been more than fifty
crates of Cantaloupes to the acre.

Judging from this experience I think it is the best method to
dump in small puddles about fifteen to twenty pounds of Sul-
phur on the Cantaloupe hills right after the Paper Covers are
taken off; and then later about forty pounds additional of Sul-
phur when the Crown Sets start to appear. By so doing I am
of the firm opinion and belief that the grower is quite SAFE
FROM THE MILDEW INFECTION.

Please allow me to pay particular stress on the following:
“ATTENTION, HOWEVER, MUST BE PAID WHEN AP-
PLYING THIS SULPHUR TO AVOID BOTH LEAVES AND
VINES, AS THEY MUST BE FREE FROM SULPHUR,
OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE LEAF AND VINE BURN.”

The best method is to ’apply around the hills and under the
vines in small paddies or patches, and also -work into the
ground a small amount of Sulphur, and in this manner you
will find that it will not be blown away by the winds and that
you will not get any vine or leaf-burn. I found by doing this
work by hand that it was more effective and the application
was done right — the Sulphur was placed where the fumes came
in contact with the under side of the leaves and on the vines
proper. I don’t think that there is any short cut by using any
dusting machine. I shall follow out this plan this coming
season.

Very truly yours,

O.K. :r. O. KUDA.

A Hint To Home Gardeners

When making a garden, whether for drilling or planting
seed, or setting plants, always wet the ground thoroughly.
GIVE IT A GOOD SOAKING DOWN TO SUB-MOISTURE. As
soon as it is tillable — that is, as soon as it can be spaded and
pulverized, or when the soil will not stick to the spade, dig it
10 or 12 inches deep. Pulverize the soil thoroughly and rake it
evenly. While it is still moist, plant seed from % inch to one
inch deep, in heavy soil, and a little deeper in sandy soil.
Planted this way, almost any variety of seed will germinate
and show above the ground in from four to ten days, with
irrigation. Never sprinkle in a new garden before the plant
is above ground, nor after if you can irrigate between the
rows. It is far better to irrigate than to sprinkle, and much
less labor. Always mulch the soil after each irrigation, as
soon as it mulches readily, but no sooner. To allow the soil
to bake after irrigation is far worse than no irrigation at all.

To sprinkle the garden slightly each day during the summer
months is of little value unless the ground is also thoroughly
irrigated once each week or two, according to the nature of
the soil. Slight sprinkling refreshes the foliage, but may not
penetrate the soil more than one inch deep. Thus as the
under soil dries, the roots get no moisture. The plant6 suffer,
and you do not suspect the cause because you sprinkle each
day. This is a common fault and the cause of many failures.

A & M

Culture. — No crop is so liable to variations by cultivation
and soil as the onion. Having rich soil with too much irriga-
tion will produce thick-necked scallions, while the same soil,
well drained, would produce the finest onions. A sandy loam
well fertilized is best.

No vegetable is so sensitive to variations of climate as the
onion. It is of utmost importance that the right variety Is
selected for each month in the year, and for your particular
climatic conditions.

Onions

Irrigate in the furrow between the ridges to avoid flooding
the onion, which causes the onion to rot readily, rendering it
unfit to ship or to keep.

Two pounds of seed are required to plant one acre for dry
mature onions. One ounce will plant one hundred feet of row.
For bunching onions, plant one-fourth pound of seed to 100
feet of row or 10 lbs. per acre.

We claim our onion seed to be the highest type as to
germination and purity. When you wish to plant onions con-
sult us as to when, how and what variety to plant.

A & M RIVERSIDE SWEET SPANISH ONION

Now Planted From Coast to Coast. A Sen-
sation Wherever It Is Grown. Illus-
trated On Front Cover

A & M Riverside Sweet Spanish Onion is a separate and
ditsinct strain of the original imported sweet Spanish onion
and was developed by us seven years ago. By careful plant
selection we have each year improved the type until the A &
M Riverside Sweet Spanish Onion is recognized by best authori-
ties as superior to all other strains in flavor, mildness, good
keeping qualities and yield per acre. This onion is ’very
popular and commands the highest market price.

It is a large, well shaped brown onion weighing from 1 to 3
pounds. It is unusually mild but still retains its genuine
onion flavor. Planted at the proper time and thoroughly
cured it is a good keeper and will ship as good as any other
shipping onion. It requires about 3 pounds of seed to plant
one acre, if planting is made directly in the field, this being
the system mostly used in California. Planting in the seed
bed for transplanting requires about iy2 pounds of seed per
acre. In irrigated districts plant in double rows on ridges,
having the rows on the ridges about 8 inches apart and 24
inches between the double rows. The size of the onion can be
regulated by the distance between onions and the closer they
are together the smaller will be the onion. To produce the
larger size they should be thinned to 6 or 8 inches between
plants. It is important to keep a uniform moisture content
in the soil and to keep them growing continuously from the
time they are up until harvested. Drying off from lack of
moisture may start new buds and may result in splits or
goose-necks. Reported yields are from 50,000 pounds to more
than 100,000 pounds per acre. (Pkt. 10c) (oz. 90c) (/4 lb. $3.00)

these letters coming from all parts of the country indicating
that it may be successfully grown in any soil where other
onions are being produced. Many growers and dealers are
trying to imitate the A & M Riverside Sweet Spanish and the

where growers have been disappointed in their crops because
the seed they planted was not the true variety. These two

A & M GARLIC

Piilf-iir#* It requires about 250 pounds of Garlic to plant an
v^uuuic acre. The usual custom is to grow it in double

rows, setting the Garlic about 4 inches apart in the rows and
4 to 6 inches between rows. Double rows should be 24 to 30
inches apart to allow for cultivation. Good soil will produce
4 to 5 tons of Garlic per acre. Weeds must never be allowed
to grow in Garlic, for it needs sunlight and air. Water plen-
tifully and regularly. It should be growing continuously and
should never suffer for water or cultivation. Planted in Oc-
tober it usually matures in May. The demand for Garlic is
limited but insistent, and the price has a wide range. (Per lb.

A & M Peanuts

READ — The Peanut is too much neglected. Its various
uses are of great economic value. Its value as a food is well
known, but few ranchers realize its value as a soil renovator,
adding humus and nitrogen. As hog food, there is nothing
better. The straw is rich in food value and may be pastured

green, cured as hay or ensilage, and the yield of hay is

often from two or more tons per acre. It grows on soil that
may be too sandy for other crops. Therefore, if you have
sandy soil, make it valuable by planting peanuts.

This variety is much superior to
the ordinary Peanut, yielding

fewer imperfect pods and combining earliness, productiveness
and size; yields on ordinary land about 40 sacks to the acre.
(Lb. 30c) (10 lbs. $2.50) postpaid. Write for quantity price.

This is the small peanut used so

largely in confectionery lines, salted
peanuts, etc. It is very prolific and is more profitable to grow
as a crop than the Virginia. They grow in small compact
bunch on a small vine and are easily harvested. Plant 40 to
50 pounds of hulled nuts per acre in furrows 4 to 6 inches
deep and about one foot apart in the rows, with the rows far
enough apart to allow for harsh cultivation. (Lb. 35c) (10 ibs.

weather and soil in your locali y will permit. For main crop sow
seed in February, March and April, in hot bed. Pepper seeds
need the heat of a hot bed to germinate it during these months.

All large growers are now planting seed in the fields and

method of raising plants and transplanting, and is proving
satisfactory.

For field culture the plants are set eighteen inches apart in
rows thirty inches apart. This would appear too close when
the full grown plant covers the field solidly; but it is important
to get the rows as close as possible in order to irrigate effec-
tively.

A & M Chinese Giant

There is probably no better
strain of this pepper than the

one we have and since we have given particular attention to
selection for uniform shape, we think we have the finest strain

walls are thick and where they are given proper cultivation the
yield is enormous. One Southern California grower says “I

A&M Wonder Bell Pepper

Here is a pepper which promises to become one of the
leading market varieties, and we want to especially call
the attention of the trucker or shipping market gardener to
its regularity of size and shape, making it an exceptionally
desirable variety for good packing and fine appearance on
its arrival in the market.

The few that have been offered on the Los Angeles mar-
ket moved quickly at a premium over all others and ex-
cited interest among produce men who saw it. In size they
average about 4 inches in length and about 3% inches in
diameter at the top, with a very slight taper making it
almost square. The weight of this size is approximately 9
to 9 y2 ounces and this is considerably heavier than any
other pepper of the same size. This additional weight is
due to the thick side walls which are very meaty and are
% to % inches in thickness. Because of its shape it packs
well for shipping east, the skin is smooth and glossy, a rich
deep green color, they are solid and will not wilt in ship-
ping. We feel that this pepper is an important addition to
our very complete line of peppers in which we have special-
ized for a number of years, and we want you to try it.
What is good for the shipper is good for the home gardener,
and this pepper used for salad purposes, for stuffing or other-
wise, will please the most critical. (Pkt. 25c) OA oz. 75c)

A&M Potatoes

Essential Factors in Successful Potato Growing

Treat seed stock before cutting. The very best seed may have traces of one or more of the many diseases to which
potatoes are subject. It is, therefore, advisable to soak seed potatoes in a solution which will kill whateve'r disease may
be lurking on the outside of the tubers. Make this solution by dissolving four ounces of corrosive sublimate in about

two quarts of hot water (be sure it is thoroughly dissolved) in a glass jar and then add to thirty gallons of cold water in

wooden vessels. A barrel or wooden tank makes a good receptacle for this purpose. Place the sacks of potatoes in this
solution and leave one and one-half hours, then drain, and, if the potatoes are not to be cut immediately spread out to
dry. Use the same solution for only four or five lots, as the strength becomes weaker the more it is used. This solu-
tion is poisonous and should be handled with care and kept where animals may not drink it. Treated potatoes should also
be kept away from stock.

Plant four to five inches deep, 14 inches apart, in row s 30 inches apart.

If potatoes follow alfalfa or Melilotus good yields can usually be obtained without the use of commercial fertilizer;
but commercial fertilizer will be found profitable. 50 lbs. of nitrate of soda per acre is about right.

Keep soil moist at all times. Do not judge moisture by appearance of the potato plants as when the plants become

a very dark green or begin to turn yellow it is then too late to apply water for best results; and potatoes are likely to

become rough and knobby.

When cultivating throw the earth toward the plants a little higher at each cultivation; until at last cultivation the ridges are
six to ten inches high and broad at top so that tubers will be kept cool and free from tuber moth infection.

POTATO INSPECTION — All potatoes intended for seed purposes must be inspected by the County Horticultural au-
thorities before they may be received and again before they may be shipped out. This is a great protection to the

grower.

If price is lower at the time of shipping your order, a refund will be made you; if price is higher you will be notified
before shipment is made.

Pursuant to our policy of doing everything we can to give
our customers the best and cleanest seed possible, we have in-
stalled a large dipping vat in which we can dip the seed po-
tatoes you purchase from us, if you so desire. We make a
nominal charge for this service and we believe that it would
pay you to let us do the dipping if you are not equipped to do
it yourself. Seed potatoes should never be planted without
being treated, for if your land is clean and you plant infected
potatoes, then it will take you a number of years by crop ro-
tation to again get the land clean. Sometimes we find planters
neglecting this when they know better. Don’t be careless in
farming for it is a costly practice. Price for dipping seed po-

A & M Garden Peas

Market gardeners write for quantity prices on all varieties.

f’nltiir#* Peas are very susceptible to soil and climate.
V^uuurc Within the radius of a few miles of Los Angeles
and in one locality or another peas may be grown every month
of the year.

In a thermal zone plant peas from September 1st to Feb-
ruary 1st, and in lowlands from January 1st to September
1st. In summer months, from May to September, plant two
inches deep in heavy soil and deeper in sandy soil. From
December to April plant not more than one inch deep. The
object of this is to have the seed deep enough to lie in the
moist earth, and shallow enough to get warmth from the
sun. Never, irrigate after planting peas until they come up.
Irrigate before planting, but do not plant until the soil is tillable.

Peas will rot in soil that is too wet, especially during the
winter months. They will stand a great deal of frost and
cold weather until they bloom, but after they bloom a heavy
frost will destroy the pods, and if cold enough, will kill the
vines. Many planters sow one hundred pounds of seed per
acre, but fifty pounds of seed per acre drilled in rows and
well cultivated will produce larger pods and more peas per
acre; besides, there will be less mildew. Put the rows north and
south for winter planting to give them as much sun as possible.

Dwarf Telephone Admiral

Strata criam The Stratagem has oeen a favorite among mar-
Jiiaiagcm ket gardeners and it is just as good for the
home garden as it is for larger acreage. The pods are a dark
green color and remain Arm several days after picking. It is a
strong grower, very prolific, the pods are of good size and are
always well filled. The vines usually stand upright, to a height
of about 2V2 feet on good soil and they are very productive.
The dark green color of the pod makes it a good seller in all
markets and in addition to this the grower is usually rewarded
with a good yield. (Pkt. 10c) (Zz lb. 20c) (lb. 40c) (10 lbs. $3.50)

GROW YOUR OWN PLANTS

Because of the danger of introducing new soil pests jor fungus into your soil, you should grow your own
plants. Tomatoes, peppers, egg plant, in fact all vegetable and flowering plants may be grown very easily in
small boxes or beds and transplanting directly from these will be found more satisfactory than to have plants
delivered or sent by mail. In addition to this you have a greater choice of varieties and when the seed is pur-
chased from a reliable source you are assured of better vegetables and better flowers. In planting flower seed,
a light covering of well decayed barnyard fertilizer or leaf mould should be used as a covering for the seed and
the seed should not be covered to a greater depth than twice or three times the diameter of the seed itself. Plac-
ing a burlap bag on the top of the seed bed or box, laying it flat on the surface and watering through it will as-
sist in holding moisture and better germination will result. The burlap should be removed when the seed be-
gins to germinate and the soil kept thoroughly moist at all times.

A & M Pumpkin

Large Cheese or Kentucky Field

Sugar, or Boston Pie

{"'’liltiirtf* Pumpkins delight in rich, sandy soil that is perpet-
L/UlUirc ually moist — the soil that retains moisture by the
dry farming method, because pumpkins do not want too much
water, and to flood them would destroy them, so when irri-
gating make the furrows nearly as far from the hill as the
tip of the vine, and when the vines intersect, run the water
through the middle of the row. Plant the seeds every 8 or
10 feet, allowing only one plant to remain. 1 lb. of seed plants
an acre.

Kentucky Field or Large Cheese looinyTinV!

Sweet Pumpkin, and is grown more than any other of its
kind for stock, because it is a good keeper, notwithstanding
it has a soft shell. It is fleshy and very sweet; also good for
pie. and is largely used for canning. On one large ranch in
the* San Fernando Valley there was planted a large acreage
to nearly all the popular varieties; this one was unaffected
by the hot sun, and remained in perfect condition while other
varieties were sun-burned and decayed quickly. (Pkt. 10c)
(i/4 lb. 35c) (lb. $1.00) postpaid.

We have the purest stock seed from which to
grow this pumpkin. It is the heaviest pumpkin
for its size that we know of; 100 pounds is not an unusual
size for them to attain. It is the canner’s favorite because
of its thick, deep red flesh and the fine sweet flavor. It is
without exception the best for dairy stock, and only the
scarcity of the seed has prevented it from being more widely
known. We are informed by dairy-men that the percentage
of butter-fat is increased greatly as the result of feeding this
pumpkin. (Pkt. 10c) (A lb. 50c) (lb. $1.50) postpaid.

Hallowe’en and Thanksgiving trade, at which time they bring
$20.00 per ton, and two cents per pound at retail stores.
Twenty tons to the acre is no unusual yield. If the land has
been manured liberally a full crop can be grown among corn.
It is a most excellent keeper, and will be sure wealth to all
who grow and feed it liberally. (Pkt. 10c) (A lb. 45c) (lb.

Agriculture is a Business

The successful grower of the “Great Southwest” Is an ex-
pert in his line. He has all the United States for a market
during the winter months, and all the arid Southwest in the
summer time. He must consider well his soil, be an expert
in the selection and use of fertilizers, in the selection of his
seed suited to his soil, to his climate, to the time of planting
and the market for which he intends to grow. He must
know to perfection when to irrigate, to cultivate, and when
not to do so. He must study insecticides, know what, when
and how to apply them. He must not only keep posted as
to market conditions and prices, but must figure ahead on
these conditions.

When giving consideration to approximate yields and val-
ues, take into account the cost of labor, irrigation, time to
fertilize, and expense of marketing. All these figure in de-
termining the net profit. Then consider too the adaptability
of each crop to your soil and the purpose for which the crop
is intended. All must be considered when deciding the ad-
visability of planting field crops.

When in doubt buy Aggeler & Musser’s seeds, and always
consult AGGELER & MUSSER SEED CO. on all the above
subjects. And keep this catalog.

Read

Every variety listed in this catalogue is the best for the
purpose intended. If you will read the instructions you will be
able to select just what you should have.

When planting a small garden you will find that a packet of
seed is sufficient for one planting, usually enough for a row
of 20 feet.

When buying seeds the grower rarely gives credit to the
seedsman for the clean seed and high germination. Seedsman
are just as careful about the purity of the seed, but too often
they must depend upon the integrity of growers over whom
they can have no control and whose crops cannot be inspected.

The A & M Seed Co. have a record on file of every sale by
mail and every sale delivered to market gardeners, amounting
to more than one hundred thousand sales per year. We receive
hundreds of complimentary letters, but it is rarely that we
receive a complaint about the quality of the seeds we send out.
Usually the cause of failure is traced to improper culture,
lack of moisture, improverished soil or unseasonable planting.

The experienced gardener understands the unfavorable con-
ditions and often corrects them, thus avoiding a crop failure.
It is the inexperienced grower who fails. It is for these that
so much space in this catalogue is given to cultural instruction.

A & M Spinach

Market gardeners write for quantity prices.

rnltiir* Sow in one f°ot apart, and for succession,

V/tmuic every two weeks; select a shady spot; as it grows,
thin out for use, keeping clean of weeds. It grows the year
round in California. One ounce of seed for 100 feet of drill;
12 pounds to an acre. Field culture is the same as for let-
tuce but requires no thinning out. Better Spinach may be
grown in the shade of an orchard.

Spinach is well adapted to a large area in California and
may be grown wherever the conditions are favorable for the
production of vegetables. The yield per acre varies from
three to five tons, with an average production of four tons.
(As much as 8 tons have been grown). When selling to the
cannery the customary price is about $25 per ton.

“Spinach is best adapted to a rich, light loam and is not a
satisfactory crop to grow on soils of poor quality or those
which will not retain moisture. The climate requirements of
this crop are very exacting. The plants will stand without
injury a relatively low degree of temperature, but are seri-
ously injured by heat. Planting early in the fall and late in
the spring should be avoided since the plants will not make a
satisfactory growth during hot weather. When planted dur-
ing the rainy season, provided the soil is of a sandy nature
and is free from weeds so that it will not pack, this crop
may require no cultivation. The crop is ready to harvest in
six weeks to two months after planting.

MARKET. — On the local market there is a uniform demand
throughout the year for home consumption, but during the
winter months the shipper requires enormous quantities. The
canners contract for large acreages e^ch year.

There is an early and a
late Roselle. Be sure to
get the early variety,
because the frost is al-
most sure to destroy
the late variety before it
matures. We offer only
the early variety.

It is an annual plant
that has been sufficient-
ly tested to indicate its
great value and to war-
rant more extended cul-
tivation. The calyx sur-
rounding the seed pod is
used as soon as the
flower drops for making
jelly and jam. The jelly
is superior to guava or
currant, and labeled as
“Queensland Jelly,” is
shipped from Australia to
all parts of Europe. It
is easily grown from
seed if planted after the
ground is warm; grows
rapidly, resists drouth

Roselle Buds

A & M RHUBARB

Culture — Sow the seed any time from February 1st until July
1st, in drills two feet apart, in order that you may cultivate
with a horse cultivator. Within five months after sowing the
seed the Giant Winter variety will be large enough to market,
even though the roots are not larger than your thumb. Trans-
plant at any time when the roots are as large as a pencil.
Rhubarb requires a rich sandy soil. Therefore plant it on
ridges or on the sides of an irrigating ditch. In our hot cli-
mate partial shading is beneficial. If you can do so, plant
it in an orchard, setting the roots three feet apart, but if in
a sunny place, set the roots 18 inches apart, that the leaves
of one plant will shade the crown of another.

Pisinfr is undoubtedly a very productive and

Uldill vr tiller therefore very profitable variety. It is dis-
played at the market places in apple boxes, and the boxes are
barely long enough to accommodate the large, thick stems that
will average one-half pound each, often weighing more than a
pound. It is remarkably early, bearing large stems within
five months from planting the seed, and grows nearly the en-
tire year. The stems are so tender that they do not need
peeling. (Pkt. 10c) (oz. $1.60) (J4 lb. $5.00) lb. 16.00) postpaid.

Service

When we started in
business in 1893, Ag-
riculture was not
considered one of the
sciences. We had no
college of Agriculture
at Davis, no get-to-
gether conventions for
co - operative educa-
tion. Each grower
learned his lessons
from hard personal
experiences. A few
progressives s u b -
scribed for agricul-
tural papers and read
them.

The Seed Catalogue
was authority for
some general instruc-
tions but it remained
for the A & M Seed
Co. to systematically
search for the va-
rieties of vegetables
best suited to local
soil and climate con-
ditions, to give cul-

Tobacco Culture in California

It is true we can grow tobacco just as luxuriantly in Cali-
fornia as elsewhere. It has been repeatedly tried in various
sections of the state but at no place did the experiment extend
to the third year. California cannot cure a fine grade of to-
bacco. The cause may be our lack of rain to wash off the
gum or it may be the dry atmosphere, or our lack of frost.

However, a fairly good smoking tobacco is made by care-
fully drying the leaves in a shed.

Pennsylvania Broad-leaf riety. At our demon-
stration plot we grew leaves that measured 40 inches long, 28
inches wide. In Pennsylvania this variety developed leaves
44 inches long and 36 inches wide. It is the best variety to
grow in the home garden for use in the chicken house or other
insecticide purpose. Also if handled properly makes a good
smoking tobacco for the pipe. (Pkt. 10c) (oz. 50c)

A & M TOMATOES

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, and six feet is not too far apart for vining
varieties which soon cover the ground solidly. The soil should
be plowed and pulverized to a depth of ten or twelve 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.

A & M MARGLOBE TOMATO

A Most Promising Introduction. Resistant to Fusarium
Wilt and Nail-head Rust

Two years ago we received from Dr. Fred J. Pritchard,
of the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture, a sample of this seed for trial purposes. After
planting and caring for it the first year we became con-
vinced that Dr. Pritchard had accomplished very definite
results in developing a new Wilt resistant strain of tomato,
and after watching it for two years and making careful
selections we believe it to be an outstanding variety. It
is a hybrid from Marvel, a government strain; the flesh is
red and the very thin outer skin is golden. The red flesh
showing through the golden skin produces a rich red color
with a tinge of gold showing through. The meat is solid
with very few seeds, non-acid, almost a globe shape, size
is medium, averaging 7 to 9 ounces in weight, a good ship-
per, excellent for local market and will probably become
one of the leading canning varieties. We have every reason
to believe that it is resistant to Fusarium Wilt and Nail-
head Rust, and this is one of the greatest things in its
favor.

Small samples of seed distributed among growers in
some of the most important tomato producing sections, in-
cluding the west coast of Mexico, have created a widespread
interest in this wonderful new tomato and we now feel
that it is safe to recommend it for any soil or climatic
condition adaptable to tomato growing.

A & M WILT RESISTANT STONE

Illustrated on Front Cover

The past season has established the fact that this tomato is
Wilt Resistant. It has been grown in fields adjoining which
were tomatoes that were badly infested with wilt, that made
no crop and were finally plowed under while the A & M WILT
RESISTANT grew an excellent crop and was a money maker.
It retains all the good qualities of the Stone and has others
we feel even better. The tomato is of good size, very solid,
and makes an excellent shipper. It has topped all eastern
market prices the past season. It yields as heavy as the Im-
proved Stone, making it ideal for canning purposes. It has
proven its value in Mexico. We can, therefore, recommend it
for the canner, the shipper and the market gardener.

(Pkt. 10c) (oz. 60c) 0A lb. $2.00) (lb. $6.00) postpaid.

Root blight may very often be prevented by spraying fre-
quently with Bordeaux Mixture, beginning when the plants
are young and continuing throughout the season. A cup full
of the liquid Bordo poured around the stem of the plant where
it will soak down to the root system is also effective. Blight
may often be prevented, but it is difficult to cure.

The time of planting and variety depend upon your local
market, soil and climatic conditions, and the purpose for
which they are grown.

On sandy loam soil near the foothills, where it is nearly
frostless, we recommend planting seed of the A & M First
Early in hot beds during December and January for winter
and early spring tomatoes. Tomatoes that mature the latter
part of April are considered early for Southern California.

California. Several thousand acres are planted to this va-
riety exclusively for shipping to Eastern points after other
tomatoes have been destroyed by frost. For this purpose the
seed is planted about June 15th, and the tomato brought to
full size about October 1st, after which it gradually ripens
as wanted for shipping. The tomato is of good size, bright
red, solid, smooth, and enormously productive.

The canners prefer it because of its uniformly desirable size
and solidity for canning. The grower prefers it because of
the vigorous growth and large production extending through-
out the season far into the winter months. (Pkt. 10c) (oz.

Packet Seeds That Grow

Look for this case. If your dealer
does not carry Aggeler & Musser Seed
Co.’s packet seeds request him to get
them, because we do not put our seeds
out on commission. A & M packet
seeds are the best obtainable. They
are the same high quality as our bulk
seeds and quantities are regulated
entirely by quality. Another import-
ant thing is that our packets are never
put up until new crop seed is har-
vested. You are sure to get fresh
seeds when you buy them from the
AGGELER & MUSSER SEED CO.’S
CASE.

Success is more certain if the seed
be selected to suit the soil, season and
purpose. This catalog will help you
make the proper selection.

A & M TOMATOES

A & M First Early In the $1,000,000 Class

A & M FIRST EARLY

We introduced this tomato in 1909 and from that time to the present it has superceded all other early va-
rieties throughout Southern California and Mexico and is constantly gaining favor among the important tomato
growers in big producing sections such as Imperial Valley, Salt River Valley of Arizona and other similar dis-
tricts. As an early variety and money maker it has no equal among tomato varieties. It is uniform in size and
packs well, making it a most desirable tomato for the packer and shipper. It is smooth, inclined to globe shape,
of good size, an excellent shipper and bears longer than any other early tomato. During the past year many
fields in Southern California were picked continuously from June to November. We cannot recommend it too
highly. (Pkt. 10c) (oz. 50c) (/4 lb. $1.75) (lb. $5.00) postpaid.

Aft, l\fl r'lriKo This variety has become very popular
Oc 1V1 vUUUc with the large growers in old Mexico.
They have learned that when it has turned from the green
to a lighter color with just a suspicion of red it is in prime
condition to ship to the farthest market with the least de-
terioration. It is nearly as round as a globe, produces abund-
antly and is a delightful table variety, almost without acidity,
and is now considered the best shipper for the farthest mar-
ket. (Pkt. 10c) (oz. 75c) 0A lb. $2.50) (lb. $7.50) postpaid.

(Tree Tomato) — Large, red, smooth and

TURNIPS

Culture — Turnips may be sown broadcast on damp sandy
soil or in drills as beets and carrots. Drill in double rows
on ridges not too thick in the row. The Purple Top Globe
variety is now leading in popularity because of its mild flavor
and its adaptability to our summer climate.

Next to the Purple-Top Globe in popularity,
but preferred by many because of its beauty

sider the very best varieties in each case. Prices on small quantities include postage, but larger quantities are
f. o. b. Los Angeles and will be sent by express. No plants will be sent C. O. D.

HIMALAYA BLACKBERRY

The Himalaya is the most vigorous grower of any variety
of berry plants, therefore, should be pruned heavily to keep
it in bounds. If neglected the canes on the ground will make
roots sending up new canes and plants and in a short time
the patch will be a wilderness of very thorny vines which will
be difficult to control. 20c each, 6 for 85c, doz. $1.50, postpaid.
Not prepaid— 100 $10.00, 1,000 $90.00.

CORY THORNLESS BLACKBERRIES

Large luscious berries often growing to length of 2 y2 inches,
a small core and almost seedless. Richer and sweeter than
any other blackberry. It is a strong grower and should be
trained on a trellis of 2 or 3 wires, one above the other. After
fruiting season the old wood which has borne fruit should be
removed entirely, leaving only the new growth to be trained
on the trellis. Each winter the remaining wood should be
cut back about half or more to insure fruiting. Set the plants
6x8 feet. This requires 900 to the acre. Each 20c, 6 for $1.50,
doz. $3.00, postpaid. Not prepaid, 100 for $22.50, 1,000 $200.00.

LA FRANCE RASPBERRY

A comparatively new berry but well known and popular for
its large luscious fruits and heavy fruiting qualities. To train
it provide a wire trellis near the ground. When the new growth
.reaches a height of about 2 ft. pinch out the tips to induce
laterals. During the winter cut back the laterals about one-
half. Each year after the crop is harvested remove the old
wood so that all the energy of the plant will be forced into the
new growth. Each 30c, 6 for $1.65, doz. $3.00, postpaid. Not
prepaid, 100 $22.50, 1,000 $200.00.

100 $10.00, 1,000 $90.00.

LOGANBERRIES

A wonderful berry and entirely in a class by itself. Runners

should be trellised on wires. When fruiting season is past
remove the fruiting canes and wind the new canes around the
wire. Another method for the home garden is to set three
posts in the ground, nail two or three barrel hoops above the
plants and train the runners through and over the hoops.
Set plants 6x8 feet. Each 20c, 6 for 85c, doz. $1.50, postpaid. Not
prepaid, 100 $10.00, 1,000 $90.00.

GARDENA DEWBERRY

Cultural directions for these are the same as for blackberries,
except that the trellis should be not more than 2 ft. off the
ground. In the wild, Dewberries trail on the ground and this
condition should be provided as nearly as possible. Each 20c,
6 for 85c, doz. $1.50, postpaid. Not prepaid, 100 $10.00, 1,000
$90.00.

A & M PROGRESSIVE STRAWBERRIES

A fine home garden and local market berry. One hundred
plants should supply the average family with berries daily
for the entire season from July to late fall, if weather condi-
tions are favorable. The A & M Progressive will bear a full
crop the first year if properly handled. Because it does not
make many runners, the plants should be set close, say 10
to 12 inches in the row and about 22 inches between rows.
This distance apart requires 20,000 plants to the acre. Encour-
age runners , and new plants by frequent irrigation and fer-
tilizing. Never cut off the runners, but rather train them
along the row and strive for a matted row. 50 plants $1.35,
100 plants $2.50, postpaid. Not prepaid, 1,000 $20.00. Write for
quantity price.

A & M CAROLINA STRAWBERRY

A good shipper and a big producer. Set the plants 3 ft.
apart in the row and 2 ft. between rows. They make many
runners and will fill in the space in one season. Train runners
along the row, keep well irrigated and fertilized to encourage
rooting of runner plants. The runner plants of Carolinas
will_ not bear fruit the first year, but the parent plant will.
Fruiting season runs well into the late fall under favorable
weather conditions. 50 plants $1.00, 100 plants $1.75, postpaid.
Not prepaid, 1,000 plants $15.00.

A & M SHADY LAWN GRASS

In planting the lawn, there are often many places under trees or on the
north side of the house and it is quite difficult to obtain satisfactory growth

of grass in these shaded places. A & M SHADY LAWN GRASS will grow beautifully in the
shade and will blend in with the other lawn grass? It is a special mixture of fine bladed
grasses and will produce an abundant and even growth of beautiful green grass. A & M Shady
Lawm Grass may also be used in parks or other places where there is considerable shade from
trees. (1 lb. 75c) (10 lbs. $7.00) Postpaid.

A & M VELVET FERTILIZER

Every California gardener should fully realize the necessity for fertilizing. With
barnyard fertilizer becoming more and more scarce, it has become necessary to apply
commercial fertilizers. In preparing A & M Velvet Fertilizer for the lawn, garden,
trees and flowers, we are giving you the benefit of years of experience in the formula-
tion and processing of proper fertilizers and their use in the garden. It is a balanced
ration for plant life, is odorless and the results are quick and lasting. For the new
lawn apply at the rate of 5 to 8 pounds per 100 square feet and water thoroughly imme-
diately after applying. For roses use about one-half to one pound to a bush, depend-
ing upon the size of the bush. For trees and shrubs use a larger quantity. In prepar-
ing for the new lawn the fertilizer should be applied several days in advance of seeding.
For the established lawn apply 3 to 5 pounds per 100 square feet being sure that it is
broadcast evenly and sprinkle thoroughly immediately following the application. The
addition of leaves, weeds, straw and other vegetable matter spaded into the garden
where it will decay and become what is termed humus, will further improve your
garden soil. Velvet fertilizer is an organic and chemical compound containing 4%
nitrogen, 10% phosphoric, 1%% potash.

** Radio Garden Talks , Los Angeies, California

2:30 P. M. Wednesday, each week, by FRED C. McNABB

GARDEN INFORMATION FOR THE AMATEUR

The amateur gardeners or plant lovers whose gardens are an
expression of the soul are sure to have a healthy influence on the
plant world in the coming years. With all branches of horticulture
commercialized we must look to the amateurs, garden clubs and
householders for the advancement in horticulture and it is to be
hoped that these individuals and organizations may be ever on
the increase to assist in this great work. The child who be-
comes interested in the study of plant life today may be a leading
horticulturist tomorrow, for certainly a broad field is open to
those who would attempt to solve the great mystery.

SOIL PREPARATION

California soils need humus. Humus is decomposing vegetable
matter and many waste materials such as leaves, weeds, discarded
garden plants, etc., may be put to good use by being buried in the
garden to decay and provide humus. Humus separates the soil par-
ticles, provides a congenial home for bacteria, increases the soil’s
capacity for absorbing and retaining water, provides for a free cir-
culation of air and causes a more rapid and thorough absorption
of the sun’s rays.

All of these have a most beneficial effect on plant life and
by constantly using the materials at hand the garden soil may
be greatly improved. Do not burn the leaves — your garden needs
them.

GERMINATING SMALL SEEDS

Most flower seeds are very small and if planted too deep the
tiny sprouts may never grow to the surface. When one fails in
germinating seeds, very often the seeds are blamed, but in most
cases it may be from other causes. In planting small flower seeds
a good rule to follow is to cover to a depth of about twice the
breadth of the seed itself to cover with a light material such as fine
leaf mold.

Keeping the seed bed moist is important and this may be
done by placing cloth or burlap sacks on top the bed, removing
them at once when the seeds begin to germinate. Placed after
the seed has been planted and covered this additional covering
will prevent washing or floating of the seeds and covering and will
hold the moisture. A small frame with glass covering (window
sash is good) will provide good conditions for starting some seeds
that are more difficult to germinate. Learn to grow your own
plants and have more enjoyment from your garden.

KNOW YOUR PLANTS

Label your garden plants and keep a record of
the variety, time of planting, time of blooming, etc.
Study each plant individually, learn its likes and
dislikes and you will fiind they will respond to this
loving care just as your own children.

Don’t buy seeds by the picture on the packet.
Learn to know them by name and you will have
fewer disappointments. A conscientious, painstak-
ing seedsman gives varietal catalogue descriptions
in detail and if you will make use of this infor-
mation it will reflect in your garden.

PLANTING SEASONS

A very important part of successful gardening
in California is to know the proper time for plant-
ing. On the inside back cover of this catalogue is
a planting calendar for each month of the year.
The planting suggestions offered there are for Los
Angeles and vicinity. The suggestions offered there
should, however, be of assistance to planters in
other districts in determining the proper planting
season.

INSECT PEST CONTROL

Doing the right thing at the right time will
lessen the labor and increase the benefits. For
leaf-eating insects of all kinds, worm, bugs, or
otherwise, spray with Acme Arsenate of Lead.
For Aphis or plant lice and scale, spray frequently
with Destruxol. On pages 85 and 86 will be found a
complete list of spray materials, what they are to
be used for and how. Also see pages 83 and 84 for
spray pumps. Don’t try to garden without a spray
pump. A compressed air sprayer or Hospra properly
cared for will last for years, do the work effectively
and with ease. They are cheaper in the long run.
Try it once.

A & M SELECT
CALIFORNIA FLOWER SEEDS

Suited To All Climates
PLANTED FROM COAST TO COAST

It is now quite generally known that California is the largest flower seed producing section in North
America and that thousands of acres of California land are producing flower seeds to be shipped to all
parts of the world. Being in the midst of this production, where we enjoy the privilege of frequent inspec-
tions of our own growing crops as well as those of other growers, we have a decided advantage in flower
seed selection that enables us to offer our customers the very finest strains of all varieties. A & M Cali-
fornia Flower Seeds may be planted in any climate with gratifying results. For the home gardener or the
commercial grower we cannot recommend them too highly.

PACIFIC COAST PLANTERS NOTE

Tender or Greenhouse means the plant will not stand the
least frost. All such must be planted late in spring (May)
or in a greenhouse.

Half Hardy means the plant will stand any light frost,
but needs protection against very cold weather. These
should be planted in the spring (March and April), not in
the fall.

Hardy means the plant will stand considerable frost, or
practically all we have on the Pacific Coast. These may
be planted in the fall or in the spring (October to May).
If sown in the fall they will come into bloom earlier than
if sown in spring, even if the plants do not make much
progress during the cold weather.

Annuals are plants that bloom in the first year from seed,
and the plant dies after one season. Tender annuals must
be sown in spring (April to June) and hardy annuals may

be sown in either spring or fall (October to May).

Biennials are plants that bloom the second year from seed,
and plant dies after blooming. In California many of these
will bloom the first year if sown early. Sow under same
conditions as perennials.

Perennials are plants that bloom the second year from
seed, and the plant lives and blooms during successive years.
If sown in early spring (February to April 15) many

perennials will bloom the first year from seed. Tender and
half-hardy perennials are best sown in spring after frost
is over (April 15 to June). Hardy perennials are best

sown in late summer and early fall (July to October) for
next year’s flowers.

A & M California Asters

A popular half-hardy annual produced in a great variety of classes, and an almost endless number of colors.
The tallest grow about two feet high, and some varieties of dwarfs are not over eight inches high. The best method

of culture is to sow the seed in boxes and transplant when large enough to handle. The seed can be sown, how-

ever, in the row where the plants are to remain, thinning them from six to twenty inches apart, according to variety.

A & M California Asters are the finest strains and are used extensively by home gardeners and florists through-
out the country. We call particular attention to the new A & M American Beauty, A & M King and A & M Cali-

fornia Giants. These are highly satisfactory wherever they are grown.

A & M KING ASTERS

This is a new California introduction that is admired by
all who see it. The flowers are large and double. The
petals are quilled, making them distinct form all others
and a highly desirable class. They are of upright habits,
growing to a heighth of from 18 inches to 2 feet. The

mercial growers alike are enthusiastic over them and in

a large scale for cut flowers, these flowers being shipped
long distances to florists. They will do well in most any
climate and are even being grown now by florists under

Excellent for Borders and Beds of Solid Color

This charming annual should be freely planted in all
gardens for display or for cutting purposes. As may be
noted in the illustration, the flowers are borne in umbells
and when the plant is in full bloom it is indeed beautiful.
Beds or borders of solid colors are most attractive and we
suggest solid colors further for the reason that when one
color is planted in a row or bed the plants are of uniform
height, presenting a most pleasing appearance. Local
florists find it a most satisfactory cut flower and it is
planted quite freely for that purpose. Seed germinates in
5 to 10 days and it may be started in beds or flats and
transplanted when several leaves are formed.

and when well established transplant to
the garden. Dahlias from seed will bloom
the first season about four weeks later
than from tubers.

On your automobile and hiking trips take with you a few ounces of California Poppies and scatter the seeds

picking them and to scatter a few seeds as you go will assist in preserving the beautiful natural California flora we
all so much enjoy.

To Grow Poppies

In Southern California and similar
climates sow the seeds of all poppies
from October to March. Sow the seeds
where the plants are to remain. To
hold the moisture and insure good ger-
mination place burlap bags or cheese
cloth on top of the seed bed or row,

Eschscholtzia California Poppy

removing them just as soon as the tiny
sprouts appear. Removal of the cover-
ing at the proper time is important, for
leaving them too long will weaken the
plants. Cultivation of poppies and all
other plants during the winter months
is quite necessary. Well cultivated soil
absorbs the heat from the sun, allows a

free circulation of air and provides good
growing conditions generally. Poppy
seeds are small and all small flower
seeds should be planted to a depth of
about twice the breadth of the seed
itself. Use a light covering such as leaf-
mold or a similar material. For a com-
plete list of poppies see poppy page.

A & M PETUNIA

A splendid race of plants, rich and varied colors, and profuse flowering with their charming and tender looking
flowers, they are very beautiful for groups in the open. Sow seed early in spring, scatter thinly on an even surface
and barely cover the seed with sand. If intended for the open ground, plant out into a frame to be kept0 until planting-
out time. If for pots, pot singly into small pots in strong rich soil mixed with sand and shift as the plants grow larger.

In starting Petunia seed it is well to remember the rule that small flower seeds should be Planted to a depth
of about twice the breadth of the seed itself, which means that these should be merely pressed into the soil and receive
a very light covering of light material. A burlap bag placed on top the seed bed will assist in germination. Remove
the bag when sprouts appear and keep thoroughly moist.

A & M POPPIES

The different varieties of poppies are always favorites for outdoor display and the cultivation of them being
so extremely simple entitles them to a place in every garden. Seed should be sown where the plants are intended

boquets.

A & M PANSIES

Pansies thrive best in a moist, sunny location and in rich, loamy soil. Seed should be sown in the autumn for
early spring blossoms, or can be sown early in the year for good flowers later in the spring. The plants must be trans-
planted twice in order to get the largest flowers; once from the seed box to a chosen bed, and again to the open garden.
This is important for large size pansies; use manure liberally. The blossoms are usually larger in the spring and again
in the fall, and while they bloom freely all summer, the blossoms are small during the hot months.

It is much more interesting, satisfactory and inexpensive to grow your own pansies from seed. By so doing you
may select and carry out your individual color scheme; you may also select your own types and take advantage of
some of the finest varieties the plants of which are not offered for sale.

In Southern California sow seeds in flats September to January.

and duration of bloom it is unsurpassed. Sow the seed in pans or boxes and transplant when large enough to an open,

CALIFORNIA GROWN SWEET PEAS

Ask for Sweet Pea Culture, Bulletin No. 11

Experienced growers and home gardeners are demanding California grown Sweet Peas because they
have found them superior to all others. Grown under California climatic conditions, they have become
famous for their high percentage of germination and their extraordinary vitality. Large flowers and
long stems predominate in the best varieties introduced from California and without exception they
please the most discriminating growers and sweet pea enthusiasts. As California Seedsmen we have the
opportunity of being in close touch with the growing of all varieties and frequent crop inspections en-
able us to select only those that we know to have special merit. It would be an easy matter for us to
list hundreds of sweet peas, but in this catalog we confine ourselves to a complete 'range of colors, in-
cluding only varieties that we know will please the most particular trade. Our files contain a wealth
of information on Sweet Peas and very often we are called upon by Sweet Pea Societies, Florists, and
home gardeners for special information that they may desire. We are always glad to be of assistance and
would be pleased to go into further detail than space permits in this catalog.

A & M Early or Winter Flowering Spencer Sweet Peas

These are sometimes called Winter Flowering and also Christmas Flowering. The growers class them as early flowering
because when planted at the same time as the lates (standards) they will flower at least a month earlier. Because of this early
tendency, if planted in Augiist or September they may be brought into bloom in the late Fall and early winter, and for this reason
they have been called Christmas Sweet Peas. The planting season in California is from the first of August until the middle
of January. The varieties selected have long stems with three and four blooms to a stem.

These Sweet Peas are used extensively by commercial growers throughout the East for growing under glass. Commercial
growers in California grow them in the open without any shelter and have them in bloom throughout the winter.

A & M DAHLIA FLOWERED ZINNIAS

CALIFORNIA GROWN

Indicating the excellence of this Improved Strain of Zinnias they were granted an Award of Merit by the Royal
Horticultural Society of England, 1924. This wonderful flower creates a sensation wherever it is grown and it has
probably gained popularity more quickly than any other improved garden flower offered in recent years. The large
size, fullness of petals, extraordinary color range, and good keeping qualities have all contributed to its popularity.
The flowers resemble in appearance the Decorative Dahlia and is called the Dahlia Flowered Zinnia for this reason.
When in full bloom they often measure five to six inches in diameter and many of our friends who have grown them
take the trouble to write to us and even send us pictures of the wonderful flowers they have produced. The A & M
Dahlia Flowered Zinnia is strictly a California introduction and since it is so easily grown and is immune from
disease at this time we cannot recommend it too highly to our friends. The colors do not always come entirely
true but the variations are desirable colors.

bloom the second year. The bulbs should be planted about 3 inches deep in any good garden soil, preferring an open
sunny situation.

A & M California Grown Roses

A & M "Los Angeles”

Plant bare root roses during January, February
vuuuic and March. They prefer full sun and should be
planted in a garden by themselves where they may be given
such care as they need without interference from other plants
or shrubbery. When bushes are received be careful not to
expose them to the sun or drying wind. If the roots appear
to be dry soak them in water a few hours before planting,
and if the tops appear to be shrivelled bury tops and all for
a few days. This will plump the wood and put the plant in
first class condition. The tops should be pruned back at least
two thirds at the time of planting. Cut the roots back to 6
or 8 inches and remove all bruised roots. Dipping the roots
in thin mud before planting will encourage the starting of fine
roots more quickly.

For the control of Mildew spray thoroughly during the dor-
mant season January and August with Dry Lime Sulphur and
spray frequently thereafter with Qua-Sul or dust with Anchor

Growing in the Field

Brand Sulphur. Spraying with Destruxol will control Aphids
and Scale. Roses should have a rest period from July 1st to
August 15th or September 1st, in climate similar to Southern
California. Water thoroughly at the beginning of this rest
period, cultivate the surface and apply no more water for six
weeks or two months.

Not only has California become headquarters for the pro-
duction of all kinds of seed for distribution throughout the
country, but it has in a measure also become headquarters
for the growing of rose bushes for shipment to all parts of the
United States. During the past year approximately 40 carloads
of rose bushes were shipped from Southern California and
this should indicate to the home gardener that soil and cli-
matic conditions in California are ideal for roses.

Our offerings are roses of strictly No. 1 Grad'e. You will
find our prices more than reasonable and if others are offered
for less money a comparison of quality should be made.

A & M Dahlias --

ORDER EARLY

Dahlia 1)ulbs are ready for shipment about March 1st.
You may include them in your order for seeds and they
will be sent when ready. We do not advise ordering these
after May 15th.

Our offerings of Dahlias are only those varieties which
we have found to be entirely satisfactory to planters in
general. There are hundreds of worthless varieties with
which the amateur is not familiar, and would consequently
have more difficulty in choosing properly if they were in-
cluded among the listings.

CANNAS

Cannas have always been in demand
and now with the wonderful new color-
ings and the improved size of flowers,
they are even more popular. The large,
handsome, ornamental foliage and beauti-
ful spikes of bright flowers make the

orange, to pure white. Also some foliage
is bright green and some a rich bronze.
These new orchid flowering and large
truss varieties bloom freely for six to
eight months. In mild climates they are
evergreen, but we recommend cutting
away the old stalks in the winter to
make room for the new growth. They
should be separated every three years.

flower more freely in sunny situations
but grow well in partial shade, requir-
ing at all times plenty of moisture.

ORCHARD

COCKSFOOT

This grass does well sown either with or without other
grasses. It is frequently sown in such pasture mixtures as
white clover, red clover and rye grass. If sown alone, 25 or
30 pounds of the Cocksfoot seed will insure a good stand of
grass.

RED TOP

(Agrostis vulgaris)

Red Top is a perennial grass which grows from a few inches
to five feet in height under varying conditions of soil and cli-
mate. But the average height is probably 18 to 20 inches. It is
now more highly esteemed as a pasture grass than for a hay.

No other useful grass would seem so well adapted for grow-
ing in wet situations, even in places so moist as to be saturated
with water for a considerable portion of the late autumn and
the early spring.

The soil should be carefully prepared. Thoroughly pulver-
ized and clean of weeds. Sow broadcast 14 lbs. of seed per
acre. Also planted with other grasses for lawns.

(Per lb. 45c) (10 lbs. $4.00) postpaid. Write for quantity price.

RUSSIAN BROME

(Bromus inermis)

Bromus inermis is one of our hardiest perennial grasses;
no amount of cold will kill it. It withstands the severest
drought, and water may stand on it for weeks. It will grow
on any rich soil.

It requires twenty pounds of seed per acre.

Russian Brome Grass is essentially a winter pasture grass,
but it also makes good hay. All kinds of stock are fond of it,
and no other grass, unless it be orchard grass, will furnish
grazing for so large a portion of the year. Its producing and
feeding value for hay is about equal to that of timothy.

It keeps alive under conditions that would destroy many other
grasses and it will then grow vigorously when moisture is
brought to it. It can be made to render excellent service in
states where rainfall is not more than 12 to 15 inches.

ALFILARIA

(Erodium cicutarium)

Alfilaria or “filaree” grows wild without any attention in all
classes and conditions of soil except swamps and excessive
alkali. Soon after the first heavy fall rains have saturated
the ground the “filaree" begins to make its appearance. It is
good pasturage at all stages of its growth, even when mature
and dried up. In nutritive qualities it compares favorably with
alfalfa and live stock of all kinds fatten on it readily. It is
hardy even where the winter temperature reaches zero or below.
Little or no preparation of the soil is required. It attains per-
fection where introduced in Texas.

Sow 6 lbs. of seed per acre. Sow just before the rainy season.

PACEY’S RYE

An excellent hardy grass for the coast range, on hillsides

PERENNIAL RYE

Sow in the fall with barley, oats, wheat or alfalfa, to be
pastured. It is excellent for fattening cattle.

HARDING GRASS

THE GREATEST PASTURE GRASS

This grass is a true perennial, one seeding being good for
years. It cannot become a pest because all spread is from the
crown It never bloats. Will stand heavy tramping of sheep
or cattle. Under good conditions it should carry one cow per
acre 10 months of the year, after the second season.

Old pastures or burned over land should be sown after the
heavy winter rains have set in.

RHODES

(CHLORIS CAYANA)

(Write Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.)

Ask for Farmers Bulletin No. 1648

Mr. Dairyman, there is no longer any excuse to permit any
alkali lands to be wasted with tar weed. Your alkali lands
are now a valuable asset. Rhodes grass will increase the
value of these acres several fold. See what Mr. Campbell has
done and be convinced.

Rhodes grass does not grow underground sprouts like John-
son or Bermuda grass, but sends runners over the surface like
the strawberry plant. It is easily eradicated.

Rhodes Grass will smother Bermuda and other weeds be-
cause of its dense growth. It is easily eradicated by being
plowed once and let stand for sixty or ninety days. It adds
humus to the soil.

The best time to plant Rhodes Grass is from March 1st to
August 1st. Broadcast twelve pounds of seed per acre, going
over the field twice, once north and south and east and west,
sowing six pounds each way. Keep the soil continually moist-
ened until the grass is established. Do not pasture until after
the second cutting.

BERMUDA

(Cynodon dactylon)

Bermuda Grass is unquestionably the best pasture grass In
the south, viewed from the standpoint of palatability, pro-
ductiveness and endurance. There are reasons for believing
that in its proper sphere it will produce more grazing and more
meat than blue grass under the most favored conditions. Sheep
can graze upon it from 7 to 9 months in the year according to
locality. Sow seed during May and June, five pounds per acre.

CHEWINGS FESCUE

(See Lawn Grass)

One of the best grasses to sow in a meadow. Mixed with
Red Top and White Clover it is a valuable pasture grass. It
is also suitable for lawns and putting greens. Sow 20 lbs. per
acre. (Per lb. 75c) (10 lbs. $6.00). Write for quantity price.

DALLAS

(Paspalum dilatatum)

This grass should be established on pastures.

Grows on any kind of soil — endures some alkali — excellent
for permanent pasture on marsh or mesa — grows winter and
summer with moisture — excellent for hay — may be cut every
six weeks — becomes dormant with drouth but revives with
less moisture than any other grass, yet will survive if sub-
merged for several weeks — stools and seeds freely. It has been
tried and proven in this section to be one of the best of grasses
for permanent pasture in meadows, in swamp lands.

The seed takes root among the weeds and devil grass, chok-
ing out everything in its way. The dense matting roots make
a thick sod capable of supporting the cattle on marshy land.
The stock relish it fully as well as alfalfa. It is as easy to
eradicate as Timothy or as any other bunch grass. Ten pounds
is sufficient to sow one acre broadcast. It thrives in high

A & M Field Corn

The corn for the arid southwest. When
the white man was a pioneer in Arizona
and New Mexico, he tried to grow corn but failed. The country
and climate were condemned; corn could not be grown, but
thanks to the good work of the various state and federal ex-
periment stations, we have the Mexican June This has been
bred up by years of selection from seed which has existed
among the Indians from time antedating the Aztecs. Imperial
Valley growers realized its merits ten years ago. In Arizona,
New Mexico and Texas, it is now grown where no other variety

ORANGE COUNTY PROLIFIC

THE MOST SATISFACTORY SILAGE CORN

Orange County Prolific was introduced by us in 1911. At that
time we had stalks on exhibition with nine ears of commercial
size and others that were smaller.

The season just past indicates, by numerous testimonials,
that Orange County Prolific corn leads all other varieties both
for corn or silage. From Arizona where the sacaton June
Corn is considered the only corn for that state, we have a let-
ter from Mr. Joyce saying — “The Orange County Prolific pro-
duced more and better corn than the June.” Orange County
Prolific will give you more and better silage than any other
corn. It is the most satisfactory variety to grow for the silo.

We have a report that the Orange County Prolific planted
July 25th produced 28 tons per acre. (Per lb. 20c) (10 lbs.

TRY THIS

One rancher whose name we cannot recall, told us that he
sows his barley early and cuts it three times for hay; each
time before the heads appear, and then allows it to head out
for grain. Try it.

Barley as a Winter Pasture

Several other plants furnish good winter pasture, but none
are so valuable as Barley. It affords grazing earlier, and more
abundantly. It recovers more rapidly after being grazed down.
It is more relished by stock and more wholesome. It stands
up so that stock can eat it with less dirt or other objectionable
matter, and it is never affected by rust.

Sown in September it affords good grazing until May, but if
the stock are taken off in March, a good crop of grain can be
harvested.

For this purpose sow 100 pounds per acre and irrigate if
needed.

Barley sown in an alfalfa field during October will make good
pasture during the winter when alfalfa is dormant, or it may
be grown for hay without injury to the alfalfa.

pv This is the standard because it is
1/WaiI LVcrgrecn easily harvested and in quality there
is none better. It is the best to plant throughout the Southwest.

KANOTA OATS

This is a selected strain of the best Southern Red Oats,
which should in time replace, to a large extent, the Cali-
fornia Red and Texas Red Oats for local planting. The variety
matures 10 to 14 days earlier than the Red Oats planted under
similar conditions; produces finer and taller hay — also heavier
heads. Tests conducted throughout the State of California dur-
ing the past 5 years under direction of the University of Cali-
fornia, College of Agriculture, and the local Farm Bureau,
show this variety to be more Rust resistant, practically im-
mune to Smut, and from one-third to one-half greater in yield
than the California and Texas Red Oats. The yield has always
compared most favorably even in dry years, when good crops
have been harvested when other varieties have failed, and
good hay crops cut when other varieties have sometimes not
even made pasturage. 10 lbs. $1.00 postpaid. Write for quan-

WHEAT

Sow 50 Pounds per acre.

One big drawback against growing wheat in Cali-
uenante fornia has been rust, but this has been largely
overcome by planting the Defiance variety where cool, moist
weather conditions prevail. This variety is practically rust-
proof.

Defiance is a late wheat and should be planted early and
seeded thin. It is non-shattering and classed as a hard white
wheat, and number one for milling.

C This variety is recommended because of its large

■jonuid yield, earliness and drouth resistance. It is sus-
ceptible to rust and inclined to shatter, but it has long been
a standard variety in Southern California back from the coast.
It is classed as a soft white wheat.

BUCKWHEAT

Ip The soil is always moist where shaded with

common buckwheat. Sow the seed any time after
April 1st, about 45 pounds per acre. Within ten weeks it
will have matured. It will not survive the winter. Therefore
it is necessary to sow once a year.

We highly recommend the growing of Buckwheat for re-
claiming desert land, as it will start a growth and produce
a crop under more adverse conditions than any other crop we
know of.

nrlraim This bean is always profitable to the
I He JOldCfAeye grower because it yields 1500 to 2500
pounds per acre without irrigation, and on almost any kind
of soil. It is a good cover crop and soil renovator. The beans
find ready market at a fair price. Rabbits will not eat the
Blackeye.

The Blackeye is in a class by itself, and the price is not
governed by the market for other beans. Indeed the price
has proven to be the reverse. When commercial beans are
low the Blackeye commands a higher price.. It is safe to
plant Blackeyes because you always get a crop”, and you never
fail to sell at a fair price.

If your soil needs humus, plant Blackeye.

Lady Washington and Navy “LmU inarhinas

Both are small white beans, but the Navy is slightly smaller
and is often distinguished by being called the Small White,
while the Lady Washington is called the Large White.

The Navy is more resistant to mildew.

Plant 25 to 30 lbs. to acre.

An application of two sacks of Toro Sulphur and 1,000 pounds

pared with the Chilean or Common Alfalfa, or write us for our
Alfalfa bulletin.

We have often been asked where the seed which we sell
was grown, some being under the impression that Alfalfa seed
produced in particular sections is preferable, but we have found,
through careful investigation, that such is not the case and
no certain section is favored in producing superior seed.

If the stock is of high germination, free from noxious weed
seeds, and true to name, that is the great consideration.

teria nodules will be found to correspond to the vigor and
quality of the plant.” (Lb. 40c) (10 lbs. $3.50).

Nurse Crop with Alfalfa

As a rule on Sandy lands that are subject to drifting, or on
heavy lands which have a tendency to bake, a nurse crop
may be of benefit as it reduces drifting or baking. Unless the
soil is subject to drifting or baking it is not advisable as a
general rule to use a nurse crop. Under dry land conditions a
nurse crop should never be used, as the moisture supply is too
limited. JAMES MARSHALL, Colorado Agricultural College.

We suggest barley or oats as a nurse crop.

SWEET CLOVER FOR FORAGE

This is a valuable addition to the farm
as a forage crop. When quite young, it
may be pastured or cut and cured for hay. This should be
done just before the bloom appears. It is hardier than alfalfa,
more drouth-resistant, and better for renovating the soil. It
may be cut twice the first season and three or four times the
second season, yielding 2500 to 3000 pounds of hay each cutting.
It is as easy as alfalfa to eradicate, is biennial. On account
of its hardiness to resist extreme cold, heat and drouth it is
grown largely for pasture. It is highly recommended by the
Department of Agriculture. (Per lb. 35c) (10 lbs. $3.00) postpaid.

THE WONDER FORAGE PLANT

THE WONDER FORAGE

The stems are succulent and sweet, as saccharine cane, not
dry as non-saccharine cane, therefore it is as good as sorghum
for dairy cows. Stock will eat every particle of it.

Our demonstration clearly indicates the Wonder Forage Plant
will yield double the tonnage of any other sorghum. Five
pounds of seed is sufficient to plant an acre.

Dairymen, each year that you delay planting this Wonder
Forage Plant (Sudan Sorghum) you are missing something
worth while for green forage. One acre of Wonder Forage
is more valuable than three acres of Sudan Grass, both in
quantity and quality. One acre is equal to two acres of sweet
sorghum. The latter can be cut but once, the former twice
with equal tonnage. (To do this will require good soil and
ample irrigation, but it will do it). It has less sugar con-
tent than sweet sorghum, but must be classed as a saccharine.
Do not waste another season by holding off. It is so much
better than Sudan that there can be no comparison.

Stockmen, if you want a rich, green feed, sow the Wonder
Forage.

Mr. Holtzclaw of Tulare County advises us that he had never
seen any crop to grow like the Wonder Forage. He grew 40
acres of it and his great trouble was where to store it all. It
is excellent for feeding green or to cure for winter feed. He
says also of the Silver Tip Sorghum — It beat any sorghum he
ever grew before and he thought he knew all kinds of sorghums.
The Silver Tip will grow more tonnage for the Silo than any
other variety.

Soil Renovators for Winter Crop

Inoculate with Mulford Culture

«|ka I have come to the conclusion that, ex-
iVieiliOlUS aiua cept on sandy soils, it is better to
broadcast the seed than to drill it. This is especially true where
there is alkali. Sweet-clover seed' should be very close to the
surface. A light harrowing or dragging with a light brush drag,
will mix the seed with the soil sufficiently for germination. It is
better, too, to sow the seed in the fall and let the rains bring
it up. It gets a better start that way.

Melilotus alba is being recognized more and more each sea-
son as a valuable soil renovator. Because of its large and
extensive root system penetrating deep into hard subsoil, there
decaying, permits moisture to enter and break up the hard-
pan that plowing may become deeper and more thorough.
These roots have gathered nitrogen and add much humus, all
of which is essential to building up new or run-down soil.

Melilotus has other uses in soil renovating; it will grow in
alkali soil and reclaim it. It will eradicate Bermuda and John-
son grasses; therefore, if you have any land that will be bene-
fited by Melilotus alba by all means plant it. (Per ib. 35c) (10
lbs. $3.00) postpaid. Write for quantity price.

Neither is the Canadian Pea inferior to other cover crops
when planted at the right time. The right time is from Sep-
tember until February and on any kind of soil.

Notice — Do not plant just before a rain nor irrigate before
they are well above the ground and established. If the soil is

Hubam Clover

Hubam is an annual sweet clover
planted in citrus groves during February
or March; it forms a perfect cover of green clover that will
greatly reduce the fall of oranges known as the “June drop.”
It is at its best stage for green manuring to be plowed under
during July and August.

Stock relish it therefore it is good for pasture. The flowers
are rich with honey and on that account it should be sown
largely by bee men. It requires about 10 lbs. of seed to plant
an acre. (Per Ib. 60c) (10 lbs. $5.00) prepaid.

• J* Was introduced by us in 1909, has now
lnulCa become recognized as the legume best
adapted for green manuring in the orchards of California,
because it may be planted late in the fall after all crops have
been harvested, will grow all winter with only the season’s
rainfall.

Melilotus

It prevents erosion during the rainy season, is easily plowed
under, is richer as a fertilizer and if allowed to stand until
July will prevent much of the June drop.

Melilotus indica is the best legume with which to build up

OREGON WINTER VETCH

\T For many years was considered the best legume for
V “IL.I1 planting in orchards during the rainy season. It is
only because Melilotus indica is a little hardier that vetch now
holds second place for that purpose; but science has discovered
a new use for vetch. It is true that oats have long been
planted together with vetch for the purpose of supporting the
vetch that it may be easy to harvest. Now the new discovery
is that vetch may be planted with oats, wheat, rye and barley
in order that the grain will be fertilized by the nitrogen gathered
at the roots of the vetch, thus greatly increasing your crop
of grain, or if grown for hay it nearly doubles the yield. Twenty
to thirty pounds of grain sown with twenty pounds of vetch per
acre, will yield more and better hay than sixty pounds of grain
per acre if sown by itself. (Per Ib. 25c) (10 lbs. $2.00) postpaid.

Pnrnle The chief value of Purple Vetch as com-

x ui pic V ClL.il pared with the common is in the rapid

Soil Renovators For Summer Growing

Whip-poor-Will Cow Pea y£rSththe m"?-'

Poor-Will has been the standard summer crop for green man-
uring not only here but throughout the South. Why’ (See

(1) It will grow on practically all kinds of soils, whether
sandy or clay, poor or fertile.

(2) It is of the easiest culture.

(3) It has a big, strong, deep-root system, well supplied
with large nitrogen gathering nodules.

(4) It revels in summer heat, and is extremely drought-
resistant.

(5) It grows very rapidly, shading the soil from excessive
heat, and leaving no room for noxious weeds.

(6) It greatly benefits the succeeding crop by accumulation
of nitrogen in the soil.

(7) It leaves the soil in fine physical condition for the fall
planting of grain oj other winter crop.

(8) It produces an abundance of highly nutritious pods and
leaves in a few months.

(9) It may be made into hay or ensilage, or pastured, the
seeds may be used for stock feed or human consumption.

Plant 20 lbs. per acre any time from April 1st until Sept.
1st. (Per Ib. 25c) (10 lbs. $2.00) postpaid. Write for quantity

ham is resistant to nematode. This discovery places the Brab-
ham foremost as a desirable summer crop for green manuring.
Few districts are free from nematode and while other crops
nursed it thus spreading it over wider territory, the Brabham
will discourage its development and if repeatedly planted may
eradicate it from the field in which the Brabham is grown.

Under the light of the discovery that the Brabham pea is
resistant to the nematode, to plant it would seem the wiser
thing to do. (Per Ib. 25c) (10 lbs. $2.00) prepaid. Write for

of the Soy Bean from the Orient makes it unprofitable to grow
for commercial beans or for seed but for early spring planting,
for June cover crop and for green manuring it is very valu-
able and under certain conditions of soil may be preferred to
clover or vetch. It is hardier than the cow pea and on that
account may be planted earlier. It is valuable to grow in
young vineyards either to be plowed under or for green feed

A & M SELECTED DWARF MILO MAIZE

THE HEAVIEST YIELDING MAIZE GROWN
SPECIALLY SELECTED BY US FOR YEARS

Since the cost per acre of Milo Maize Seed is very small it certainly pays to secure the best seed obtainable
Where the soil is properly prepared it requires but 3 to 4 lbs. per acre, therefore, the cost of seed would be but a
few cents, hence Milo Maize Seed should be considered entirely from the quality standpoint. Yield of grain per acre
is what you want and you cannot afford to experiment on new strains that are being improved or that are being grown
by inexperienced growers.

A & M Selected Dwarf Milo Maize passed the experimental stage years ago and has been used in the milo maize
producing sections of the western states so long that it is thoroughly established as a heavy yielding variety of uni-
form heighth. It was originally selected for the purpose of grain yield and by constant rogueing the size of the heads
and the compactness of them have been steadily improved until today it stands in a class by itself.

Being of uniform heighth it may be harvested by machinery but, if harvested by hand, the large heads reduce
the cost of harvesting. It grows to a height of about 4 feet, is of stooling habit, and individual hills of 5 to 7 stalks
in a stool each producing a large compact head are not uncommon throughout the field. We have had reported yields
of two tons of threshed maize per acre and where the soil and climatic conditions are favorable we feel that this is a
very conservative estimated yield. Very often there is a temptation among farmers and others to save their own
seed of Milo Maize or to plant seed that has been produced in their own district, but since it is very easily crossed with
other sorghums this is a bad practice and we advise against it. We produce our seed maize in isolated districts where
there are no other sorghum crops grown near and by hill and head selection each year, the strain is kept uniform and
true. Considering again that it requires but a few cents per acre to plant the very best milo maize seed there appears
to be no good reason why the planter should experiment with a new strain. If you are going to plant Maize, let us
send you a sample of our seed and quote prices on quantity.

NON-SACCHARINE SORGHUM

The King- of all Sorg-hums for Grain. Is much preferred to
the tall variety because it stools wonderfully and matures a
large head of seed on each stool, producing 3500 pounds of grain
per acre, and the stalk being shorter and having more foliage,
makes it more desirable for fodder. Dairymen find that the
cows will give more and richer milk when fed on it. It is the
right crop to plant in young orchards because it will not shade
the small trees.

Fcnrrkfriai-k Pahm Dike the preceding fodder crops, it is
pnail vuril grown chiefly for the foliage to pasture
when young, but yields largely of grain. The chief merit of
these fodder crops is in their hardiness to produce fodder and
grain with almost no rainfall or irrigation. Sow eight pounds

Of the many non -saccharine sorghums offered in
i cici lid, this book — none have proven more popular from
the start than Feterita, on account of its astonishing growth
after it becomes well rooted. Every testimonial received ex-
presses astonishment at its rapid growth.

Sow 12 pounds of seed per acre drilled two feet apart; by so
doing it yields 5000 to 6000 pounds of grain per acre.

The grain has about the same feeding value as Egyptian
Corn or Milo Maize; yields from two to three tons of grain
per acre. The seed is more susceptible to cold than other
sorghums, therefore should not be planted so early, nor should
it be planted in cold soil.

The second growth stools wonderfully, producing several tons
of excellent forage for pasture or for ensilage after the seed
has been harvested. It thrives luxuriantly on soil so alkaline
that field corn will not thrive. The heads are upright. (Per

SACCHARINE SORGHUM

CULTURE: All surghums, saccharine or non -saccharine,
should be sown in rows 30 or 36 inches apart, using five or six
pounds of seed per acre. If irrigated it is necessary to cul-
tivate it after each irrigation. It is advisable to give a shallow
cultivation every two or three weeks until it becomes too large.
The sorghum is ready to cut for the silo when the seed has
matured.

__ This variety proved to be very desirable because
noney of the large yield of grain, as well as enormous
growth of forage.

It is given special recommendation in the Farm Bureau
Monthly, and has proven highly satisfactory to all who grow it.

The Bacon Hand Drill

We have been handling the Bacon
Drills since 1899, and the many custom-
ers who are using them are unanimous
in praise of their durability and ac-
curacy. All who have used this drill
claim it is the most durable of all, ab-
solutely reliable to sow evenly from
one end of the row to the other. Has
angle steel frame with Hill
Dropper, Agitator and Front
Wheel Extensions of Malle-
able iron, giving strength
with lightness.

The Hill Dropper will de-
posit seeds in hills, 9, 12, 18
or 36 inches apart.

The feed, while simple,
handles a very large variety
of seed, getting an even dis-
tribution that is unequaled,
and very noticeable in sowing Salsify, Parsnip, Prickly Spinach,
Peas, Beet, etc., getting an even row with light seeding.

The feed will also handle Phosphates, which can be sown
before or after seeding.

The Drills have a Shoe Opener, which deposits seeds in a
narrow line, allowing close cultivation, saving hand labor.

A & M PLANT FOOD

For Flowers, Ferns, Potted Plants
and Roses

This concentrated plant food
should be used by all who grow
plants of any kind in pots, such
as Ferns, hanging baskets, also
for roses and in window boxes.

You have, no doubt, often noticed
pale and sickly looking foliage on
your plants. A & M Plant Food
will restore the color and promote
the growth.

It is packed in a convenient,
sealed 2-pound package. Will not
deteriorate after being opened and,
very important, it can be kept in
the house without discomfort. If

able odor. Per package, 35 cents.,

A & M HYDRATED LIME

Thp constant watering of lawns tends to sour the soil aud
eventually the lawn becomes foul with sorrel, Creeping Charlie,

and other weeds which thrive in A & M Hv-

Thi^ condition may be improved by applying ivi ny

drlted Lime! 100 to ^00 pounds applied to the average lawn on
a 50 ft lot will correct acidity and greatly improve the con-
dition of the lawn. On very heavy, soils it should be applied
sparingly at first and should be applied more frequently. Heavy
sofls sometimes are slow to absorb the first application, but
Improvement may be noted by the time a second application

iSThedmore foul the lawn is with those plants thriving on
acid soil the more lime should be applied, as it will tend to
kill off the weeds and with the acid condition corrected in the
soil °he Blue Grass and Clover will begin to grow more lux-
urious v A & M Hydrated Lime goes about twice as far as
the ordinary air slacked lime. Price 80 lb. sack $1.50; 4 !b.

A & M VELVET
FERTILIZER

Quick and Lasting Results

A & M Velvet Fertilizer is a
scientifically prepared chemical
compound carrying the neces-
sary elements for the promotion
of plant growth.

It not only enhances the
beauty of the blossom and the
color of the lawn, but it is a
wonderful stimulant to vege-
table life, and, in addition to its
many uses in the garden, it
can be applied with wonderful
results in the field for vege-
tables and other crops.

This fertilizer is easy to ap-
ply and it is in powder form
and quickly available.

For the convenience of our
customers we have it packed in|g
25-pound, 50 pound and 100-
pound bags, priced as follows:

25 pounds .$1.15

SHEEP MANURE

With barnyard fertilizer becoming more and more scarce
we offer, as perhaps the best substitute, our Groz-It brand
sheep manure. It may be used for mulching lawns or as a
fertilizer and the results are usually very satisfactory. For
mulching the lawn it requires about one sack to 500 square feet.
In comparison with barnyard fertilizer this may be slightly
higher in price, but a saving will be made in the time spent
pulling weeds for sheep manure carries very few weed seeds,
if any. Price per sack $1.90, $30.00 per ton, f. o. b. Los Angeles.

LEAF MOLD

We exercise the greatest care in the selection of our Leaf
Mold. For home gardeners who are growing their own plants
Leaf Mold will be a great assistance for mixing in with the
soil and for using as a covering for the seed. A mixture of
about one-fourth or one-third Leaf Mold with good loamy soil
makes a very nice combination for the growing of young plants
in flats. Where seeds are sown in the open a light covering
of Leaf Mold on the row or the seed bed will assist in holding
the moisture and secure a better germination. Per sack $1.25;
5 sack lots $1.10 per sack, f. o. b. Los Angeles.

TORO BRAND SULPHUR

ESPECIALLY PREPARED FOR AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES

The application of sulphur to
the soil to increase crop pro-
duction is now a proven and
accepted fact. In addition to
its fertilizing qualities it is giv-
ing excellent results in the con-
trol of potato scab. It loosens
hard cement like soil, is ac-
tive in controlling fungus, pro-
duces a better quality of fruit
and is generally beneficial to
all crops.

Toro Brand Sulphur may be
applied in irrigated districts at
any time and in non-irrigated
districts just before plowing, so
that it will get the benefit of
winter rains. It may be drilled
in with a fertilizer drill or
broadcast by hand and then
plowed or cultivated in.

In orchards use four pounds
to the tree, where trees are
four years of age, and for older
trees a little more may be used.

For vines, grains, alfalfa,
beans and all other surface
crops use about two sacks per
acre. Within six months trees
or crops usually begin to show
results which continue into the
second, third and fourth years. Toro Sulphur is packed 110
lbs. to the sack. One sack $4.10, 5 sack lots $4.00 per sack,
10 sack lots $3.90 per sack, f. o. b. Los Angeles.

LETTER OF TESTIMONIAL

Kingsburg, California,
September 16, 1925.

‘Last spring I tried some of your Toro Brand S*ulphur on
a very poor check in my alfalfa.

At the first cutting, after it had been irrigated, the spot
where Toro was applied had become a dark green color and
about 18 inches high, whereas the rest of the check was pale
and yellowish and only about 12 inches.

The next two cuttings the Toro treated alfalfa, was close
to 24 inches and very much thicker, whereas the surrounding
alfalfa was poorer than the first cutting.

I tried some Toro on garden peas with the result that they
were better in color and grew later than the rows without
Toro. When I cleaned off the straw I was very much surprised
to find the ground soft and mellow with no sign of baking,
even where it had flooded. In the next rows, where no Toro
was applied, the ground was hard.

Beets and carrots seemed to grow to size quicker where
Toro was used and the potatoes were smoother and larger.
The ground I used for vegetables was heavy soil with con-
siderable black alkali.

The more I note results where Toro is used, the more en-
thusiastic I become about it.

I am now trying it on an old run-out lawn.

I have advised Toro to a great many friends as a remedy
for poor soil.” Yours sincerely,

L. E. D.

GYPSUM

Gypsum brings about a mechanical change in the soil by
making it more pervious to water and air. Very heavy adobe
soils are much improved with an application of Gypsum which
loosens it and this condition tends to prevent packing and
baking.

Gypsum is also used in the treatment of soil containing
black alkali. The quantities to be used in the control of
black alkali depending upon the amount of its presence in the
soil. For the home garden one lb. to the sq. ft. on extremely
heavy soil will provide a favorable condition for beneficial action
of soil bacteria, will assist in the retention of moisture and make
for a better circulation of air and water. Gypsum, however,
will not correct acidity — that is it will not make sour soil
sweet. Lime must be used for that purpose. Gypsum 100 lb.
sack $1.25, 5 sacks $1.10 per sack, ton lots 95c per 100 lbs, f. o. b.
Los Angeles.

AMMONIUM SULPHATE
A Nitrogen Fertilizer

Ammonium Sulphate is a natural by-product of Coke Ovens.
It has been known as a high grade carrier of Nitrogen for about
fifty years.

Some idea as to the value of Ammonium Sulphate as a
nitrogen carrier may be obtained by the fact that to equal
100% of Ammonium Sulphate in nitrogen content, it would
take: 100 pounds Nitrate of Soda or 290 pounds Cotton Seed
Meal or 1,650 pounds of ordinary fertilizer or 4,000 pounds of
good stable manure.

For Garden use rake the soil 1 pound to every 150 square
feet. One pound is sufficient for any 1 year old tree or 1 Vz
pound for a 2 year old tree. For field crops apply 100 pounds
per acre. (25 lbs. $1.75) (50 lbs. $3.00) (100 lbs. $5,75).

Fertilizers in Small Gardens

Amateur garden makers are often puzzled as to the amount
of fertilizer needed for their small plots, because the usual di-
rections give only the amount per acre. The following table
shows (approximately) the proper proportions:

100 lbs. per acre equals 1 lb. for a plot 10x43 feet.

200 lbs. per acre equals 1 lb. for a plot 10x21 feet.

300 lbs. per acre equals 1 lb. for a plot 10x14 feet.

400 lbs. per acre equals 1 lb. for a plot 10x11 feet.

500 lbs. per acre equals 1 lb. for a plot lOx 9 feet.

Gophers in the Lawn

In setting the Macabee Gopher Traps where gophers infest
the lawn take out a square of sod, lay it to one side on a
burlap sack then remove the earth down to a depth just below
the levei <pf the main runway of the gopher. Clean out the
runway with a stick. If the main runway has been opened
properly you will have cut it in such a way that there is an
opening on each side of the hole that has been dug Now
clean out the runway openings on each side, probably en-
larging them a little, and set the Macabee Trap in the main
runway and in a level position, pushing it back until the
trap is out of sight. It is well to use two traps, one on each
side — that is, one in each opening of the runway that has
?-?ier\.T.cu^' Leave the hole open for the gopher will come to
till the opening. A lettuce leaf or piece of carrot or potato
will serve as an additional attraction and this bait may be
placed at the opening of the runway where it will be necessary
for the gopher to pass 9ver the trap to get to it. Never set
a trap in the lateral which only comes from the main runway
to the surface. Attach a string to the trap and tie it to a
small stake to prevent losing the trap.

Macabee Gopher Trap

This is the most conveni-
ent gopher trap yet manufac-

SPRAY PUMPS

A & M Superior Utility Sprayer

HOSPRA

SPRAYING IS EASY NOW

No pumping- — nothing- to get out of order. Just attach to
the garden hose and spray. After years of experimenting,
with many difficulties to overcome, the new Hospray attach-
ment has been perfected. We feel that this outfit will revolu-
tionize spraying and for the home gardener who has hydrant
water under pressure it may be put to many uses, such as
spraying trees, large or small, spraying the garden in general,
spraying the chicken coop and chicken yard; in fact it makes
spraying so easy that you will be looking for something more
to spray. One of the greatest difficulties of the. home gardener
is the spraying of large fruit trees or shade trees and the
Hospra solves this problem, for a fine misty spray may be
sprayed to a height of 15 to 25 feet under reasonably good
hydrant pressure.

Nurserymen will find the Hospra invaluable in the control
of insect pests and fungus. A nurseryman needs to see it
operate only once to become enthusiastic. If you do not know
about the Hospra you had better investigate at once. All
that is necessary to do is to mix the spray materials just
ten times as strong as directions call for, attach the Hospra
nozzle to the garden hose and the flow of water through the
nozzle draws the ten percent solution from the tank and per-
fect mixture is the result. For washing the greasy wheels
of the auto put kerosene or gasoline in the tank and turn on
the water. Ask for descriptive circular.

COMPRESSED AIR SPRAYER

Where there are fruit NO. 9-D

trees or large shade trees
this pump is very much
more satisfactory than
the Junior for it not only
carries more liquid but
because of its larger size
greater pressure may be
obtained. Every one
should give more time
and attention to spraying
the trees, shrubs, and
garden in general, for it
is quite necessary to con-
trol insect pests and fun-
gus diseases if the plants are to
thrive. We consider that it would
be far better to economize in other
things if necessary to have a first
class spray pump that will spray ef-
fectively, than it is to have a large
garden of trees and plants and neg-
lect them or only spray them par-
tially with the smaller hand sprayer.

No matter bow small the garden an
investment in spray pumps and spray
materials means more fruit, better
fruit, better trees, shrubs and flowers.

COMPRESSED AIR SPRAYER

NO. 50- D JUNIOR

We have searched high and low for what we consider the
best value in a compressed air pump for the small home garden
where there are trees, roses, ornamentals and other things to
spray. We have kept in mind that it should be a small pump,
not too heavy for the ladies to operate and at the same time
apply spray materials effectively. We believe that the No.
50-D Junior is one of the best values we have found. _ All
working parts are of brass, the capacity is 2% gallons, it is
equipped with hose and a short extension rod, and is very well
made. Properly taken care of it will outlast many of the
little tin sprayers and besides making the spraying a pleasure
it will do the job effectively and better fruits or plants will
result. Price $6.00 f. o. b. Los Angeles. Shipping weight 7 lbs.

THE VERMOREL “TORPILLE”
SULPHURING MACHINE

Without any
doubt the Vermo-
rel Sulphur Dus-
ter does the work
perfectly. It has a
carrying capacity
of 15 pounds; it
distributes the
weight on the
shoulders and
back, leaving the
hands of the man
operating the ma-
chine free to
work the pump
and open up the
vines.

The sulphur,
violently project-
ed by a powerful
bellows, sends out

shaped nozzle,
which can be di-
rected at will,

ducing highest ef-

excellent for dusting house

Many insects and diseases can be destroyed more conveniently,
with a powder. For that purpose we have a complete line of
dusters to suit your particular convenience.

Spraying and Dusting

To successfully grow roots, vegetables and flowers, it is
necessary to be prepared at all times to combat and control
the destructive insects which infest the garden. Insects are
leaf-eating, or what may be termed as “chewing insects,” and
then there are the sucking insects. Different control measures
are required for each. Aphis or Plant Lice a,re an example
of the sucking insect and they are so classified because they
suck the plant juices from beneath the surface of the leaf.
Destruxol or Black Leaf 40 will destroy these, and Arsenate
of Lead should be used entirely for all leaf-eating or chewing
insects. These materials should be sprayed on the plants when
it is necessary, and for the Aphis in particularly it is necessary
to spray frequently.

FUNGUS — Please read carefully the insecticide page where
you will find under each article listed, instructions for using
and what to use. Every home gardener should have a good
spray pump with which to apply these materials, and we sug-
gest either the Hospra or a Compressed Air Sprayer.

INSECTICIDES and SPRAY MATERIALS

Acme Dry Lime Sulphur

An invaluable
spray for the
control of
fungus dis-
eases such as
Peach Leaf
CVirl, Mildew,
Peach Twig
Borer, Pear
Scab, and
many other
ailments com-
mon to decid-
uous fruit
trees. For the
above spray with a mixture of 10 to
12 tablespoonfuls of Dry Lime Sul-
phur to one gallon of water sometime
during the month of December and
again in the spring when the buds
begin to swell or show color.

Peach Leaf C'url is one of the very
common fungus diseases and sap
oozing from the branches is an in-
dication of this fungus. One spray-
ing will not control it. You must
spray twice, as outlined above. Dry
Lime Sulphur is also used as a con-
trol of Red Spider and it may be
used effectively on roses during mid-
winter or about January first. This
for the prevention of Mildew in spray-
ing Citrus trees: use about 3 table-
spoonfuls to one gallon of water. In
spraying large trees we call particular
attention to the Hospra and to the
Compressed Air S'prayer listed in this
catalogue. Acme Dry Lime Sulphur

Acme 2 -Way Spray

This very effective
and approved
formula, contain-
ing 14% Arsenate
of Lead and 83%

Bordeaux Mixture,
enables you to kill
two birds with one
stone. It will con-
trol all leaf-eating
or chewing insects
and at the same
time the Bordeaux
Mixture will con-
trol and prevent
many of the fun-
gus diseases that
the average ama-
teur gardener does not know are
present. Acme 2-Way Spray is a
powder to be mixed with water when
used as a spray material, or it may
be used as a dust. Bordeaux Mix-
ture stimulates plant growth and it
is, therefore, an important addition
to the 2-Way Spray. ('/2 lb. carton

Acme London Purple

As a spray or as
a dust Acme Lon-
don Purple is one
of the most ef-
fective insecti-
cides and its gen-
eral use is becom-
ing more and
more apparent.
The economy of
using Acme Lon-
don Purple lies in
its superior stick-
ing quality, i n
addition to being
reasonable in price
and quick in ac-
tion. We recom-
mend it for use on potatoes, cotton,
and any other crop infested with
chewing insects. Use it as a dust or
as a spray. (/4 lb. carton 15c) (1 Ib'.

Acme Arsenate of Lead

For the control of cod-
- ling moth, cabbage
worms, caterpillars,
beetles and all other
leaf-eating or chewing
insects. In mixing
spray material use 3 to
4 heaping tablespoons-
ful of Arsenate of Lead
to one gallon of water.
Sprayed on the most
tender plants it will not
burn the foliage. For
dusting mix thoroughly
one part Arsenate of
Lead to 5 or 6 parts Hy-
drated Lime. This will
be found effective for
the Diabrotica Soror, which is the
twelve spotted beetle that infests
dahlias and other flowers; also dusted
on the silk will prevent corn ear
worm and it may be used as a dust
for other leaf-eating or chewing in-
sects. (/2 Ib. carton 25c) (1 Ib. car-

Acme Bordeaux Mixture

Every gardener,
commercial or
otherwise, should
have Bordeaux
Mixture for spray-
ing plants of all
descriptions. It not
o n .1 y stimulates
plant growth but
controls fungus,
such as Celery
Blight, Apple Black
Rot, Pear Scab,

Mildew, Blight, and
many other fungus
ailments. It is
probably one of the
best preventatives
(if there is one) of
Tomato Blight and young tomato
plants should be sprayed with Bor-
deaux Mixture from the time they
show through the ground until they
are ready for transplanting and at
transplanting time dip the entire
plant in Bordeaux Mixture, then
spray until the plants are in bearing.
Sometimes Bordeaux Mixture may
prevent Blight by pouring it around
the stem of the plant and allowing it
to soak down to the root system. This
is true not only of tomatoes but other
plants as well. Young Sweet Peas
should be sprayed with Bordeaux, also
Chrysanthemums, and in fact any
plant, tree or shrub in the garden
would be benefited by spraying with
Bordeaux Mixture. Mix 12 to 15 level
tablespoonfuls of Bordeaux Mixture
Powder in one gallon of water, and
for field spraying about 6 lbs. to 50
gallons of water for a 3-3-50 mixture.

Is especially valuable
for use in dusting
cabbage, potatoes and
other crops for the
control of many in-
sects. It is extreme-
ly light and fluffy,
having not less than

venient, practical and
economical all around
garden insecticide,
ready for use as it

Nico Dust

Cannot Be Mailed

For the control of Melon Aphids,
Garden Slugs, other Aphids of all
kinds, Red Spider, Beetles, etc., Nico
Dust is a contact insecticide and,
therefore, must be applied carefully
and thoroughly that the material may
come in direct contact with the bodies
of the insects. The Dust is most ef-
fective when the temperature is high
and when the air is still. Experi-
mental work indicates that the var-
ious pests require various strengths
of Nico Dust to affect the proper kill.
The use of the coarse strength Nico
Dust guarantees the best results at
the minimum cost and large operators,
such as cantaloupe growers, etc., have
found Nico Dust a most inexpensive
control. In addition to Nico Dust in
several strengths we have the Nico
Garden Dust for general use in the
garden, controlling Slugs, Aphis, and
many other garden insects.

Rosin Spray

Very effective for the control of
Black, Red, Yellow, Purple and Citri-
cola Scale on Citrus Trees. Also for
rose scale, very often troublesome on
rose bushes. One pound of Rosin
Spray will make 3 gallons of spray
solution. It should be dissolved in hot
water and sufficient cold water added
to make the required amount. Stir
thoroughly before using. For ex-
tremely bad cases of rose scale, scrub
the canes with the spray solution. (1

Destruxol

This combi-
nation spray,
containing Nic-
otine Sulphate
and Cyanide,
seems to be
what we have
been after for
some time, mak-
ing it possible
through the
fumes given off
by the Cyanide
to reach insect
life on the un-
der side of foli-
age. Our tests
have shown it
effective when
used at proper
temperatures and conditions against
such common garden pests as aphids,
thrip, lice, red spider, leaf roller hop-
pers, mildew and mealy bug. It is
most effective under temperatures of
70 degrees and above, the warmer
the weather the better, as the fum-
ing action is greater under higher
temperature. Our tests of this product
would indicate there is little chance
of burning or checking growth even
though used at double strength. Use
1 large teaspoonful of Destruxol to 1
gallon of water.

A 40 per cent Nicotine

40 will kill all aphids or
plant lice that are cov-
ered with the spray ma-
terial but a new supply
of aphids may be carried
to your plants the follow-
ing day by the Argentine
Ant. To control aphids
it is necessary also to control Argen-
tine Ant. A one-ounce bottle of Black
Leaf 40 will make 6 gallons of spray.

Diamond “S” Sulphur

This sulphur is
used mostly for
preparing a lime
sulphur solution,
for which purpose
it is very satis-
factory. There is
also a consider-
able quantity of
it sold for the
purpose of mix-
ing with chicken
feed. We do not
recommend Dia-
mond “S” brand
of sulphur for
sulphuring plants
to prevent Mil-
dew or other fun-
gus. Anchor
Brand Sulphur
should be used
entirely for that
purpose. Diamond “S” Brand Sul-
phur is packed 110 lbs. to the sack
and the price is $3.80 per sack, f. o. b.
Los Angeles.

Cyanogas

For Wireworm, Red Ants, etc.

For the control of
Wireworm plant a bait
crop of beans, corn or
peas, before the garden
is planted, covering the
bait crop to a depth of
about 3 inches in rows
about 36 Inches apart.
Within one week the
Wireworms will be at-
tracted to the bait crop
and at this time apply
Cyanogas by means of
a garden seeder or by
similar method, directly
into the bait rows and about one
inch below where the bait was planted.
In the small garden, where no seeder
is available, open a narrow trench
. deeper than the bait level, close to
and on each side of the bait row and
apply Cyanogas at the rate of one
pound to each 100 feet of row. Cover
immediately with the earth dug from
the trench and leave it for three to
four days, after which time seeds or
plants may be planted without injury
to them. Remember that Cyanogas is
injurious to growing plants and it
must not be used except when there
are no plants growing.

For field operations, where the bait
rows are about 3 feet apart, it re-
quires about 90 pounds of Cyanide
per acre. For further information ask
for bulletin on Wireworm Control. 1

Dusting Sulphur

Mildew is more
easifiy prevented
than cured and
there is no bet-
ter preventative
than Anchor
Brand Sulphur,
this being the
highest grade
sulphur manu-
factured.

The fine
snowflake like
particles of the
Anchor Brand
are condensed
from a vapor
and are not
ground. This is
what gives An-
chor Brand
Sulphur the
feathery and spiderweb clinging and
strong fuming qualities that are so
well known. This sulphur is also very
fine for the control of Red Spider
and when dusted on the ground be-
neath the plants it combines with the
oxygen in the air and creates a
gaseous compound. This gas or va-
por rises, passes through the foliage
of the plant and destroys fungus
spores. Sunlight, moisture and high
temperature are contributing factors
in the creating of these fumes. Price,

Tree Tanglefoot

A sticky substance that may be ap-
plied to the bark of trees to protect

TRADE MARK REO. U. S. LATENT OFFICE

One of the
most trouble-
some pests in
the California
garden is snails.
The old fash-
ioned way of
controlling
them was to
take a flashlight
and go into the
garden and step
on them. The
new and effec-
tive way of ab-
solute control is
to broadcast
Snarol under the shrubs and garden
plants late in the evening and then
sprinkle lightly to moisten the Snarol
and make an easy travelling surface
for the snails. With one good appli-
cation you will find plenty of empty
shells in the garden as evidence of
the effectiveness of Snarol and it will
only be necessary for you to repeat
the dose when a new infestation ar-
rives from your neighbor’s premises.
In addition to controlling snails, it is
also very effective for the control of
slugs. These garden pests work at
night and the only warning you may
have of their presence in your garden
will be the disappearance of young
and tender plants. Use Snarol and
tell your neighbor about it. 1 lb. trial
package 40c; 3 lb. carton 75c; 15 lb.
bag $3.00 f. o. b. Los Angeles. Cannot
be mailed.

Flyrol

Destroys insects such as
flies, moths, mosquitoes,
roaches, bed bugs, fleas,
chicken mites, lice and
their eggs. Applied with
a fine spray gun Flyrol
may be used in the or-
dinary dwelling simply
by spraying it in the
air. It is not injurious
to plants, dress goods
or furniture; it is pleas-
ant in smell and offers
an economical and sat-
isfactory control of flies.
We sell great quantities
of Flyrol to dairies,
stockmen and poultry-
men for use in outbuildings, around
stables and stockyards. (Pint 55c)
(Quarts $1.00) (Gallons $2.75) (5 Gal.

Tobacco Stems

Used extensively by nurserymen and
florists for fumigating green houses.
Poultrymen also use it in chicken
nests. Small quantities by express
20c per lb., f.o.b. Los Angeles. (100 lbs.
by freight $4.00 per 100, f.o.b. Los An-

Gallon drums $5.50). Cannot be mailed.

Antrol for Ants

The Argen-
tine ant is
one of our
most serious
garden pests
for the rea-
s o n that
they protect
and carry
Aphids,
Mealy Bug,
Scale, and
other gar-
den insects.
I n addition
to this they
are a nui-
sance in the
_ , of the year.

In the control of the Argentine ant
it is necessary to destroy the queen
and stop production, and this is done

by placing Antrol jars at intervals

of about 15 feet around the house and
throughout the garden— these jars
containing Antrol syrup which is car-
ried to the nest by the workers, fed
to the queen, drones, nurses, etc., and
eventually exterminating the entire
colony. Strong poisons are only re-
pellant and may drive them away for
a time, but production continues and
they may return to the refrigerator
most any time. One dozen or more
Antrol jars should be used on a 50 ft,
lot for satisfactory results, and on
larger estates place them about 15
feet apart in the infested area. Com-
plete directions packed with each Ant-
rol Cottage Set, this Set containing
nine receptacles or jars and six ounces
of Antrol Syrup.

Lump Lime Hydrated

■ P^aa'feQ^* ;

An occasional
application of
Hydrated Lime
on the lawn
will correct
acidity in the
soil. Acid soils
are usually
caused by con-
stant sprin-
kling and very
often in shaded
places of the
lawn will be
found a sur-
f a c e growth
of green moss.
A & M Hy-
drated Lime
A & M Hydrated Lime will correct
this by simply being applied on the
surface and sprinkled. It loosens up
heavy soils and prevents packing,
baking and cracking, thereby making
cultivation easier. It promotes the
normal decay of organic matter in the
soil. A & M Hydrated Lime, because
of its fineness, its high calcium con-
tent, is an ideal agricultural lime and
the most economical to use. It re-
quires about one-half as much Hy-
drated Lime as any other form of
lime to produce the same results. In
sacks weighing approximately 80 lbs.

Hammond’s Slug Shot

Destroys many insects injurious to
house and garden plants, shrubs, trees,
vines, potatoes, melons, cabbage, etc.
Dust the powder lightly over the in-
fected plants, covering them thor-

sufficient to control the worms or in-
sects infesting the plants at the time.

Carbon Bi-Sulphide

For the control of weevil in grain,

ber and for every 100 cubic feet of
space use V& Pint Carbon Bi-Sulphide.
Saturate it into an absorbent so that
it will evaporate quickly, close the
chamber tightly and leave for three
or four hours. May be used also for
the control of the large red ant. Is
used to some extent for wire worm in-
fested soil but must be applied when
there is nothing growing in the soil.

Gopher Scent

Gopher Scent is the latest and most
improved method of poisoning gophers

overflow it. The flame can be adjusted to any height desired
by a simple lever device which is easy to understand and
operate. All heaters are shipped out fully assembled and
tested for leaks. All that is necessary is to fill the oil reservoir
and touch a match to the lighting ring and you are ready for
action. The cost of operating the Reliable is very low and you

you like, with equal success.

eat. When you buy California Dog Biscuits you are assured of fresh stock at all times. As a regular diet
they are given an ever increasing preference by breeders and raisers of fine dogs. The following prices
are f. o. b. Los Angeles and subject to change without notice.

DOG MEAT BONE

For large and me-
dium size dogs a
regular diet of Cali-
fornia MEAT-BONE
Dog Biscuits will
serve them well. For
variety cook them
with vegetables. The
change of diet may
loosen the bowels
but in the case of
California Dog Bis-
cuits this will cor-
rect itself in a day
or so. Do not break
up the biscuits. The
saliva produced from

gnawing them is necessary for good di-
gestion, and it will keep the gums and
teeth in a healthy condition.

AGGELER & MUSSER SEED CO. RETAIL STORE: 750 S. SPRING ST.

Owing to the diversity of the soil and climatic conditions of the great Southwest, it is impractical to follow without some deviation any table that might be for-
mulated. We believe this table is as nearly correct as any table can be made, yet the time of planting must vary with each season, and so seldom are the seasons
at all similar that there is always an element of risk for the man who plants early. Each month, too, requires certain varieties best suited to the season and purpose
for which it is planted.

feet between the rows by the dis-
tance the plants are apart in the
rows, and product will be the num*
ber of square feet for each plant

number of square feet (43,560), will
give the number of plants to the
acre.
