Lawn Grass Seed
The Botanical Encyclopedia lists one hundred and eleven varieties of grasses. More than a hundred of these are unfit for lawn-making. Of the remaining sorts no single kind will make a perfect lawn; and the com¬ bination of sorts that will make a successful lawn in one ocality might prove a complete failure elsewhere.
STITT LAWN GRASS MIXTURE contains a well balanced blend of grasses that will produce the best re¬ sults under the varied soil conditions found hereabouts. This mixture will give a smooth, velvety sod with a thick bottom, and is free from such varieties as produce clumps. 1 lb. 60c; 3 lbs. $1.70; 5 lbs. $2.75; 10 lbs. $5.25; 20 lbs. $10.00; 100 lbs. $47.50.
STITT SPECIAL LAWN GRASS MIXTURE FOR SHADY PLACES equal in quality to our regular mix¬ ture but containing more of the deep rooted varieties so essential for heavily shaded locations. 1 lb. 70c; 3 lbs. $2.00; 3 lbs. $3.25; 10 lbs. $6.25; 20 lbs. $12.00; 100 lbs. $57.50.
STITT CREEPING BENT LAWN MIXTURE.
The popularity of Creeping Bent Grass on golf courses has created a persistent demand for a good Creeping Bent Mixture for lawn making. After a careful study of the advantages of such a mixture we have developed one composed of four fine grasses of the highest quality and this we submit for your approval with our heart¬ iest recommendation.
The Stitt Creeping Bent Mixture will produce a thick turf of velvety appearance, great resilience and extreme durability; and will withstand an amount of hard wear that would ruin lawns of ordinary kinds.
It is especially suggested for use where the lawn is to be the outdoor living room or play spot. 1 lb. $1 .00 ; 3 lbs. $2.90; 5 lbs. $4.75; 10 lbs. $9.25; 20 lbs. $18.00.
Use one pound of above sorts to 400 square feet for new lawn.
STITT “DO-WELL” LAWN GRASS SEED. This is mixed with just as great care as our higher priced mix¬ tures but contains Canadian Blue Grass instead of Kentucky Blue Grass, and a greater quantity of Tim¬ othy than does our other mixtures; it will give a quicker growth, but has not quite the same amount of perennial grasses as our better grades.
Use 1 lb. for 300 sq. ft. of new lawn, or 1 lb. for 400 sq. ft. of renovated lawn.
1 lb. 50c; 3 lbs. $1.45; 5 lbs/$2.25; 10 lbs. $4.25; 20 lbs. $8.00; 100 lbs. $37.50.
THE STITT MIXTURE FOR GOLF COURSES AND ATHLETIC FIELDS, in correct combinations for all soils.
Only the very finest grades of seeds should be used in these mixtures. The grasses must form a densely matted turf that will afford a firm but resilient foothold, and be of such varieties as will withstand frequent close cuttings.
The Stitt Golf Link Mixtures will meet these re¬ quirements, but if any special conditions of soil or location are to be met, advise us of your needs; the kind of soil to be covered, and the general lay of your land. We will gladly recommend the mixture best suited to the situation.

SERVICE
WE OFFER GRATIS, TO OUR CUS- TOMERS, a service that few houses in our line are equipped to offer, even at a price.
In our employ are trained, practical Gardeners whose advice and assistance are at the service of our patrons. To the garden lover who wishes to get the best of decorative effects with plants and shrub¬ bery or who wishes the utmost yield of Flowers, Fruits or Vegetables from his piece of ground, whether it be a city lot or a suburban estate, we will gladly sub¬ mit without charge, our suggestions for the most practical way of accomplishing either.
Tell us the dimensions of the lot and of the buildings, with their relation to the points of the compass, the character of the soil and the name of any favorite plants that may be especially wanted. We will then draw up a plan and submit a list of the necessary plants, with the location of each clearly indicated: or if preferred, one of our men will call and make his recommendations in person.
The plan that we will submit will be so clearly laid out that it may be followed by any one engaged to do the work: but if the planting is to be done by an inexperi¬ enced person or by an amateur, we will even supervise this part of the work and instruct the person in the simplest and most practical method of doing it.
For the plans and suggestions we make no charge. The seeds and plants required will be charged for at our regular catalog prices.

CULTURE and CARE OF FLOWERS
In Our List of Flower Seeds will be found all those varieties known to be desirable and worthy the attention of florists and amateurs. Our Catalogue is arranged with a view to aid our patrons in their selection by offering the very best varieties of each species.
Success. With patience and the exercise of reason¬ able judgment, anyone may soon acquire experience enough to successfully grow most of the species of flowers; failure more often results from ignorance and neglect than from any fault of the seeds or of nature. Constant Care is Required in any event.
Reliable Seed is the first requisite. We spare no pains or expense to procure the V ery Best. A thorough trial of our seeds will do more to establish this fact in the minds of our patrons than any statement made by us would be likely to do.
When and How to Sow. The first of May is early enough, in this latitude, to sow most of the species in the open ground; too early sowing is a great mistake. The small and delicate seeds must be covered Very Lightly with earth; the finest of them had better be sown Without Any Covering, the simple pressure of a smooth board being sufficient. Repeated experiments with various kinds of delicate seeds, induces us to advise, in addition, the covering of such seeds with sheets of newspaper until they are through the ground, thereby preventing the surface evaporation, which so often causes failure, besides protecting the seeds from being forced into the ground so deeply through careless watering, that they could not sprout. By following this method many seeds that are rather difficult to start may be quite successfully grown. The larger and more hardy seeds may be planted deeper and some of them earlier. It is a safe rule to sow most seeds to a depth of Four or Five Times the Diameter of the seeds itself.
Location. A rather light sandy loam suits most flowers, and, in such soils, seeds generally germinate well. Some flowers thrive best in a rather shady situation and in rather heavy clay soils (the Pansy is a notable instance), while others do best upon light, poor soils exposed to the full rays of the sun; this is particularly true of the Portulaca.
Early Sowing. The seeds of nearly all the annual varieties and many of the biennials and perennials, may be sown in March or April, under glass frames, in greenhouses, or in small boxes in any sunny window. In this way a good stock of plants may be had at small expense, and a gain of several weeks made in the season of blooming; and when the plants are set out of doors further transplanting is not required. Shallow boxes, two or three inches deep, and with open seams at the bottom are the best in which to start the seeds. Fill these boxes to within half an inch of the top with good rich soil, mixed with about one-fourth sand. Make the surface level and smooth and upon this scatter the seeds sparingly. Use a fine sieve, with which sift carefully over the seeds just enough earth to cover them. Afterwards gently shower them with tepid water, using a fine sprinkler, and keep the boxes in a temperature as near 60 degrees as possible. Avoid much watering unless the surface of the soil appears dry. Transplant into other boxes when the plants are

CULTURE AND CARE— Continued.
large enough to handle, setting them from half an inch to an inch apart. In setting plants out into the beds or borders, allow a liberal space for each.
Late Sowing. Most of the biennials and perennials may be sown late in the summer, from the middle of Au¬ gust through September, and they will then bloom the following season. When cold weather sets in about the only protection necessary for the young plants is a covering of leaves, straw or litter to a depth of three or four inches, and a board on top to keep it in place. They should be uncovered soon after the middle of March.
COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS. From an ex¬ perience of many years we confidently recommend for general use commercial fertilizers for all plants; it is more permanent than stable manure, and has the additional advantage of never introducing seeds or weeds.
Annuals, Biennials, Perennials. Flowers are clas¬ sified as Annuals, Biennials and Perennials. Annuals, are those plants that bloom the first year from seed and after ripening their seeds, perish the same season. They comprise many of the most beautiful flowers, and, as a rule, are of easy culture. Some of the Biennials and Perennials will flower the first season if the seed is sown early, and they may then be kept over for another year or longer. Pansy, Snapdragon, Pinks, etc., belong to this class. Biennials bloom the second year from planting the seed, and then die. Perennials, as a rule, bloom the second year, and are more or less permanent thereafter. The seeds of some of the Per¬ ennials remain a long time in the soil before germinating.

DAHLIAS
Chief among the newer of these is the Cactus type with long curled and twisted petals, which is a radical departure from the old-fashioned “Show” Dahlia with each petal set in its place. Then there are Decorative and Fancy Dahlias with reflex petals. Pompon Dahlias, which have small ball-shaped flowers. Single Dahlias in many beautiful colors and the tall-growing, loose- petaled type with its big fluffy blooms. We submit below a list of the very finest Dahlias that are now cultivated. These are so widely different from the common garden Dahlias of a few years ago that they will scarcely be recognized as belonging to the same group of flowers.

HARDY ROSES
Roses should be planted in rich, well prepared soil, preferably clay loam, fertilized with well rotted manure or bone meal. They should be given thorough, but shallow cultivation. The best results can be obtained when planted in the open sunlight. All Roses are benefitted by winter protection, by banking about the plant with earth or covering with a light mulch of leaves or straw. Roses should be trimmed in the spring before growth starts, shaping the plant and removing all canes that have become weakened by blooming.

ADCO ARTIFICIAL STABLE MANURE
England, the country of beautiful gardens, has discovered a way to make manure without dependence uponstables. The process consists of making a heap of all garden trash as it is collected, wetting it thorough¬ ly, and adding to it a bacterial food — known as ADCO. In the course of three or four months the heap is converted by the action of the growing bacteria into a pile of excellent manure.

OUR BIRDS
Our birds are all imported from the best bird-breeding countries of the old world; and are tested for song before leaving the homes of their breeders; the next test is made imme¬ diately upon their arrival in this country; then our own representative inspects and tests them at the port of arrival, selecting for ship¬ ment only those having the clearest notes. When they arrive at our store they are again tested and classified according to the purity of their note-tones and the quality and length of their songs. At this final testing the price of each individual bird is decided upon. This price

is governed by the bird’s qualifications as a singer. It is because of these numerous tests that we are enabled to guarantee every bird that we sell Most of the best canaries reaching this country come from the Hartz Mountain districts .of Germany and the Norwich and Yorkshire districts of England; and all of the best types are represented in our stock.
The prices of the birds vary from season to season; but tested singers having the best physical traits are usually priced at from $8.00 to $12.00, while some having songs of unusual quality will be priced higher; others, whose songs have not fully developed, and yet may eventually prove to be splendid singers are priced below the minimum quoted above.
BIRD SUPPLIES
The Bird Foods and Remedies offered in the following pages have been made and sold by this company for over fifty years. Competing prep¬ arations by the dozens have come and gone dur¬ ing this time, while the sale of our preparations increases each year. Our foods and remedies could not have survived this competition unless they possessed the unusual merit that we claim for them.
Our large stocks of valuable birds are nour¬ ished and conditioned with exactly the same preparations that we offer for sale.
WILSON’S MIXTURE OF CANARY AND RAPE SEED
is now, as it has been for over fifty years, a blend of the finest and cleanest Canary and Rape Seed that it is possible to purchase. Food for human epicures is not selected with more care than we give to the selection and mixing of these seeds; and it is a peculiar fact that more than a quarter of a century before an enterprising baking company began to pack food for human consumption in sealed packages, this company was sealing bird-seed in cardboard containers so it would reach the customer as fresh and clean as when mixed.
If your bird refuses the seed you now get for him or if it fails to nourish him sufficiently try this mixture of ours. Put up in pound car¬ tons and priced at 20c. By mail, postpaid, 25c.
WILSON’S SONG RESTORER AND CANARY BIRD FOOD
When birds are sick or out of song this will restore both health and melody. Birds in per¬ fect health may have their song improved by regular feedings of this, as directed on the container .
Price 20c — By Mail, Postpaid, 25c.
WILSON’S MOCKING BIRD FOOD
The ingredients of this food are selected and mixed, with the object of duplicating as nearly as possible the diet of the birds living in their natural state. It contains vegetable, animal and insect components; and its use will keep the birds in the best of physical condition and consequently in good song.

WILSON’S GRAVEL PAPER
Made for round, square and oblong cages is in many instances preferable to the loose sand as it reduces the work of cleaning the cage and eliminates the scattering of sand outside the cage.
