V. S. C. FROST-PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS

Our Plants Are Grown on the Mississippi Coast By our Own Grower From Our Seeds. Our Sturdy Southern Grown Cabbage Plants are Tough and Hardy. They Mean Dollars to the Wide-awake Gardener.

The plants make a slow but steady growth, until at eight or ten weeks of age they are very tough, the buds are purple and the outer leaves a reddish brown. When in this condition they can be shipped to territory farther north and be planted in the open ground a month to six weeks sooner than the home¬ grown hot-bed or cold-frame plants. These Frostproof Cab¬ bage Plants will stand a tem¬ perature of twenty degrees above zero without injury, the land freezing, or the plants be¬ ing covered with ice, sleet or snow after they are planted will not injure them.

The top of the plant does not grow until your regular Spring weather opens up. but the roots grow from the time they are planted, and just as soon as Spring weather starts, the established root growth assimilates the fertilizer in the soil, the plants grow very fast, maturing headed cabbage two to three weeks sooner than you can mature them from hotbed and cold frame plants. You know wTiat the difference in profit will be if your crop is matured and marketed be¬ fore the general crop from home-grown plants is matured.

To get the advantage of the Frost-proof Cabbage Plants they must be planted a month or six weeks earlier than you would plant home-grown plants. We fill orders from January 15th to May 1st. Will have the following varieties — Early Jersey Wakefield. Charleston Large Type Wakefield, Succession and Early Flat Dutch.

Prices, "by parcel post, 100 for 50c; 500 for $1.75; 1000 for $3.00. No orders filled for less than 100 plants of a variety. By express, not prepaid, 100 for 40c; 500 for $1.25; 1000 for $2.25; 5000 for $10.00.

V. S. C. BERMUDA ONION PLANTS

Onion Plants Make Larger, Sweeter Onions That Keep Bet¬ ter, Grow Faster and Produce Greater Crops.

We can supply you with Genuine Yellow and Crystal White Wax Onion Plants. Onion plants are becoming more popular than onion- sets. The sets have to be absorbed by the new growth before ic be¬ gins to form the new onion and the plants begin to grow as soon as planted thereby making more headway. They produce delicious young onions for table use as well as producing large onions of delicious flavor and good keeping qualities. Onion plants are even more hardy than Frost Proof Cabbage Plants standing more cold weather. They can be set out any time you would plant onion sets or cabbage plants. Plant in rows about 15 inches apart and 3 or 4 inches apart in the rows.

Prices for Yellow or Straw colored Bermuda Onion Plants Parcel Post paid 100 for 25c; 500 for $1.00; 1000 for $1.75. Not prepaid, 1000 for $1.50; crate 6000 for $6.00.

Early Blood Turnip

Fibrous loam, well drained and well enriched, will raise good beet crops. For early table beets, have drills 16 to 20 inches apart, and sow the seed about 1 inch deep, as early as the ground can be put in good shape, or, seed may be sown under glass four weeks sooner, and the young seedlings trans¬ planted to open ground to give an extra early crop. Give thorough and clean cultivation, and thin the plants to 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows.

CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN — This very desirable table beet does not closely resemble the original Egyptian except in its ex¬ treme 6arliness. The tops are small. The roots are flat¬ tened globe shaped and very smooth. The exterior col¬ or of the root is bright red. The flesh of our strain is bright vermilion-red, zoned with a lighter shade, very sweet, tender and of excellent quality. This is one of the best for early planting outdoors and is much used for bunching. It becomes fit for use earlier than any other variety but it is not so well suited as Extra Early Egyptian Blood Turnip for forcing in hot beds or for transplanting. Our stock is exceptionally uniform in shape and color, and is earlier than the older strains which are similar in shape but show the purplish red color. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 2 oz. 15c; % lb. 25c; 1 lb.

which, though excellent for feed, are of little value for sugar making. Plant early in spring in drills 2 to 2% feet apart, and about 1 inch apart in the row, covering with about 1*4 inches of fine soil firmly pressed down. Cultivate frequently. When about 3 inches high begin thinning and continue at intervals until the roots stand about 10 inches apart. The culture of the Mangel Wurzel, also called Mangel, Cattle Beet and Field Beet, is much the same as for Sugar Beets.

LANE’S IMPERIAL SUGAR — This beet will yield al¬ most as much in bulb as the best mangels and contains more sugar. The roots are smooth, broad at the top and gradually taper. Flesh snow white and crisp. Plct., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; 2 oz., 15c; % lb., 20c; 1 lb., 60c } 5 lbs., $2.50, postpaid.

CAULIFLOWER.

Cauliflower, although one of the most delicious vegetables, is but little grown except by professional gardeners because of the erroneous notion that it is so difficult to grow that only skilled gardeners can produce it. Any one will be reasonably sure of success with this most desirable vegetable if the cultural directions given below are carefully followed.

For spring and early summer crop, sow in January or February in hotbed. If soil is not too wet, seed should be thoroughly pressed into the ground after sowing. This insures quick germination. Cover seed with one-half inch of fine soil firmly pressed down. Transplant to cold- frame when sufficiently large to handle. As soon as dang¬ er of hard freezing is over set in the open ground in rows two and one-half to threei feet apart and eighteen inches apart in the row. The plants will endure a light frost. The soil for cauliflower should be like that for cabbage, but it is better if made richer than is ordinarily used for that crop. Plenty of good manure must be well incorporated with the soil and the latter be brought into the highest state of tilth. No application, however, can be more necessary or more useful than that of cultivator and hoe.

EARLY SNOWBALL — Unquestionably the earliest ma¬ turing strain of the true short leaved Snowball type of cauliflower. It is admirably adapted for forcing or wint¬ ering over for early crop and is the! most popular sort for these purposes, also one of the best sorts for late summer and fall crop. Early Snowball is, moreover, a most desirable sort for the home garden. The plants are compact, with few short, outside leaves and are well suited for close planting. The heads are of medium to large size, solid, compact, round, very white and curd¬ like and are developed earlier than those of any other sort. Pkt. 15c; oz., 65c; *4 oz. $1.15; H oz., $2.00; 14 lb. $7.50.

HERBS

Most of the varieties of herbs thrive best on sandy soil and some are stronger and better flavored when grown on that which is rather poor. In all cases the soil should be carefully prepared and well cultivated, as the young plants are for the most part delicate and easily choked out by weeds.

SAGE — One of the most extensively used herbs for seas¬ oning. Hardy perennial, about fifteen to eighteen inches high. Plant very branching; leaves grayish green, oval, wrinkled. Cut the leaves and tender shoots just as the plant is coming into flower and dry quickly in the shade. The plants will survive the winter and may be divided. If this is done they will give a second cropi superior in quality. Pkt. 10c; Oz., 25c; 2 oz., 40c; % lb., 75c; lb. $2.50.

SAVORY, SUMMER — A hardy aromatic annual twelve to fifteen inches high, the dried stems, leaves and flow¬ ers of which are extensively used for seasoning, espe¬ cially in dressings and soups. Pkt. 10c; Oz., 20c; 2 oz., 35c; % lb. 60c; lb. $2.00.

THYME— An aromatic perennial herb, eight to ten inch¬ es high, used principally for seasoning. Plant very branch¬ ing with wiry foliage and small flowers. Sow as early as the ground will permit. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 40c; 2 oz., 75c; 14 lb. $1.10; Lb. $4.00.

DILL MAMMOTH— An annual of aromatic odor and warm pungent taste. Its seeds are used for seasoning. It possesses medicinal properties but its largest, use is for making Dill pickles. Plant branching, two to three feet high ; leaves very much cut into thread-like seg¬ ments. Pkt. 10c; oz., 15c; 2 oz., 20 c; % lb., 30c; lb., $1.00.

LAVENDER — A hardy perennial, growing about two feet high. It is used for the distillation of lavender water or dried and used to perfume linen. It should be picked before it becomes dry and hard, and dried quickly. Pkt., 10c; Oz., 25c; 2 oz., 40c; *4 lb., 75c; lb., $2.50.

V. S. C. SUPER-IOR. CABBAGE SEED

ONE OUNCE WELL PRODUCE 3,000 PLANTS

For early use the seed should be started in the house or hotbed in January or February. Wben the young plants are well started, transplant so as to stand 3 inches apart each way. About the end of March they may be transplanted into the garden in rows 3 feet apart, setting the plants 18 inches apart each way. For late use, sow the seed about the middle of May, or sow¬ ings can be made up to July 10, in a finely prepared seed bed, later transplanting to rows 3 feet apart, setting the plants 2 V2 feet apart. Plenty of room should be given plants, at least two feet each way. They need a light and well watered soil, rich in nitrogen. Frequent applica¬ tions of nitrate of soda or some other nitrogenous fertil¬ izer will work wonders.

EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD — This most excellent variety is the earliest and surest heading of first early cabbages for the market and home garden. Most garden¬ ers depend upon it for the bulk of their extra early crop.

1 lb., $2.50; 5 lb., $12.00, postpaid.

THE NEW GOLDEN ACRE — A very fine new sort from Denmark, the home of fine cabbage. It is very uni¬ form, almost every head could be cut at the same time. The originator states that Golden Acre matures quicker than any variety known to him. The head is of medium size, quite round, and is surrounded by a few small outer leaves. It is very firm and fully equal to any of the late sorts in this respect. On account of its hardness it will stand in the field for a month or more without bursting and can be shipped long distances and arrive in excellent condition. Don’t fail to give the New Gold¬ en Acre a trial. Price; Pkt., 10c; 1 oz., 50c; ^4 lb., $1.50; 1 lb., $4.00, postpaid.

CUCUMBERS

One ounce will plant 50 hills; 2 pounds will plant one acre.

For very early cucumbers plant in paper pots or dirt bands in hotbeds, about the second week in March. Trans¬ plant as soon as the weather permits. In the open, plant about the first of April, as soon as the weather becomes settled, in hills 4 feet each way; thin to 3 of the sturdiest plants when they begin to vine. The soil should be a rich, sandy loam. Continue to plant for succession until the middle of July. Cucumbers should be gathered when large enough for use, whether required or not, as ripening destroys their productiveness.

IMPROVED LONG GREEN — The standard cucumber for either slicing or pickling, the Long Green enjoys about twice the wide use that does any other. It is extreme¬ ly prolific, medium late and for hardiness and disease resistance is the best variety. The small pickles are well shaped, while in the slicing stage the fruits are very attractive. Size, 13x3 inches. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; % lb. 50c;; 1 lb. $1.50; 5 lb., $7.00 post paid.

IMPROVED WHITE SPINE— One of the earliest and most prolific of the older types of white spines, this variety, is very widely used.

The early sorts grow only' 3 to 5 feet high and may be planted when the trees are starting out; in leaf, about the middle of March, in rows 3 feet apart, making the hills about 1 foot apart. The later and sweeter varieties are more tender and should not be planted until the trees are in full leaf or the seed will rot in the ground.

“hill” when sowing the seed; it is much better to ground.

Rind is a dark glossy green with small crease-like markings on the larger sizes andl is very attractive in appearance. Its eating qual¬ ities are unexcelled; the luscious, large, deep red heart is sweet and melting, free of cores or hard centers, while tbe rind is thin yet it is tough enough that it will ship a reasonable distance with satisfaction. The seeds are pure white and few to the melon. It is a prolific melon and its appearance is a big selling point.

SEED POTATOES

One peck will plant 125 feet of row; 8 to 10 bushels will plant 1 acre.

The land should be gotten into fine mellow condition. Mark it off into rows three feet apart and then run a furrower along so as to make a furrow about four inches deep. Apply Truck Fertilizer along this furrow with a distributor or by hand. The fur- rower should be run along 2\'2 inches deep, after the fertilizer is applied, to mix it with the soil. Drop the seed 15 inches apart and cover with a cultivator arranged to throw the earth back into the furrow. Cultivate frequently after the pota¬ toes come up, and do not “hill up” more than just enough to cover the potatoes which form near the surface. If there is danger of frost soon after the potatoes come up, they may be covered with earth without injuring them at all.

EARLY RED TRIUMPH —

the most popular of the early varieties for a white skin potato in the South. It is

of a handsome cream-white color and of excellent quality, making it most desirable for the best trade. It is a vigorous grower, ripens uniformly and is a good keeper. In fact it is one of the best all-around early potatoes now on the market.

EARLY OHIO— This is one of the standard varieties, and is credited with being

the very earliest potato on the market. It matures a week earlier than the Early Rose. The tubers aver¬ age large in size, are oval, oblong and round at seed end. A fine yielder, but does best for planting in loamy or stiff soils. # Irish Cobbler seems to do best in light or sandy soils.

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN — Very prolific, late; long keeping variety, for planting in June and July: grows large tubers, pure white; smooth, of good quality. No other variety stands our hot climate as well. We book orders now for shipment in June. Prices on application.

Buy Ovir Flowers Seeds for the Sovith

Success in the cultivation of flowers from seeds de¬ pends to a great extent on the earlier operations. Much of the disappointment and failure that attends this pur¬ suit may be avoided by carefully noting the class to which each belongs and then following the appropriate culture. Generally speaking, brief culture directions are printed on every packet of seed sold, and in some in¬ stances they prove sufficient, but we here offer a few suggestions which may be helpful to beginners.

The first and most essential requisite is Reliable Seeds.

Next, a suitable soil. That best suited for flower cul¬ ture is a rich loam containing enough sand to make it porous. A large portion of the summer flowers are An¬ nuals. As they do not take kindly to transplanting, it is best to sow seed where the plants are to bloom. Sow from March until June in dry soil previously fertilized by bone meal, sheep manure, or similar stimulants. Make a broad but shallow depression in which to sow the seeds as thinly and evenly as possible and cover in proportion to the size of the seed. Very small seeds should not be covered. Press them into the soil with a flat board. The seedlings should be thinned out during moist or dull weather.

HALF HARDY ANNUALS— Towards the end of March seeds of this class may be sown in the place where they are to bloom. It is advisable, however, to sow the seeds in February and March indoors, either in pans, shallow boxes or pots. When the little plants have made three or four leaves, reset them in another box so they may be strong and sturdy to set in the garden at planting time. Occasional watering with weak liquid sheep manure is beneficial.

HARDY PERENNIALS — These may be sown in open borders any time from April to October. BI¬ ENNIALS require treatment similar to hardy peren¬ nials. By sowing seeds in boxes or pots in cold frames in February and March and transplanting the seedlings to a north border, a much earlier bloom will be secured.

The seeds of perennials usually germinate slowly.

Giant Flowering Zinnias

The Most Brilliant, Showy and Satisfactory Flower For The South

CULTURE — Seeds in this section can be sown from March to Sept. Zinnias can be planted in boxes for earlier blooming and transplanted out in open when weather permits, but if you want the best results wait until proper time for outdoor planting as stated above for our experience has proven that the largest and best blooms are produced when seeds are sown out in beds or borders where wanted. Transplanting has a tendency to stunt the plants and decrease in size the blooms. Remember Zinnias need well drained rich soil to produce the best results and even the best seeds will not prove satisfactory on poor soil. Sheep Manure is a wonderful fertilizer for use in your Zinnia beds. Remember our Zinnia Seeds are grown for us by the best growers both in this country and Europe.

Sviperb Spencer Sweet Peas

Sow in January, February, March or April. Cover seed 2 to 4 inches, according to depth of your trench. The soil for Sweet Peas should be rich and deep, with plenty of well rotted manure in it. Wizard Brand Sheep Manure is especially fine. Heavy soils must be well worked and fertilized some time before sowing the seed. On high and dry soils they may he sown in drills from 4 to 6 inches deep, covered with an inch or two of soil pressed firmly, and the furrow filled in as the plants grow. When the seed is well above t.he ground, th6 little plants should be thinned out so as to be at least from 2 to 4 inches apart. It is a mistake to bow too thick, but it is well to allow for seeds which may rot in the ground or be destroyed by cutworms. In low, damp soils the seed should only be planted an inch and a half or two inches deep, or they will rot during the process of germinating.

The Best of Grasses

For those desiring a permanent lawn we are listing below only those mixtures that are beyond question the best obtainable. With these high grade seeds you can either thicken the present lawn or plant an entirely new one. The pasture grasses are well known and do not need a lengthy introduction, being selected with great care for their vitality and thrifty growing qualities.

LAWN SEED — It is often difficult to get a good lawn in the South because it has been found that no one grass will give satisfactory results at all seasons and on all soils in varied localities. Experiments have proven the value of combining various grasses that will produce an evergreen lawn, giving permanency and beauty of sward. Sow one pound to every 225 square feet, on well enriched, deeply prepared seed bed. An applica¬ tion of bone meal three or four times a year will keep the lawn rich in color. A top dressing of sheep manure will keep the lawn healthy and vigorous.

SPECIAL MIXTURES FOR THE SOUTH

SUNNY SOUTH LAWN GRASS— 1 lb. sows 225 square feet; 40 to 50 lbs. sows 1 acre. It is composed of robust-growing grasses and is a satisfactory mixture for parks or large places where lawn and grazing are to be combined, or where special care cannot be given. This mixture will stand dry, hot weather better than the finer lawn grasses. 1 lb., 60c; parcel post paid.

SHADY SPOT LAWN GRASS— A special mixture of grasses adapted to growing under trees and in shady places where it is difficult to get other grasses to grow. 1 lb., 60c, parcel post paid.

PERMANENT PASTURE GRASS MIXTURE—

Furnishes pasture all the season from early Spring through the Winter. Sow in early Spring or Fall, using 1% bushels to the acre. Lb., 35c, parcel post paid.

PERMANENT MEADOW GRASS MIXTURE — A

special mixture for sL lasting hay crop. Sow in spring or fall, using 1% bushels to the acre. Lb., 35c; parcel post paid.

ITALIAN RYE — Recommended principally for fall planting, but can also be sown early in the spring. A very quick growing grass. It is an annual and requires seeding each year. It should be cut when in bloom for hay. Splendid for pasture and lawn mixtures with other grasses. Sow at the rate of two to three bushels to the acre. 1 lb., 30c, postpaid.

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS — This famous grass is well known in all sections and. where the land is suitable, is one of the most profitable of all for pasture. It grows well on any stiff or loamy soils in central and northern states where rich, moist, though moderately well drained, and succeeds fairly well in some sections of the South, where lime is present in the soil, being largely used with Bermuda Grass. Kentucky Blue Grass is at its best in the spring and fall months, but being rather sensi¬ tive to heat, does not grow luxuriantly during the sum¬ mer months. It takes a considerable time to get a good stand of this, as it grows very slowly at the start; when once established forms a close, compact turf, mak¬ ing a fine pasture; also fine for lawns. 1 lb., 50c, post¬ paid

CARPET GRASS — Excellent for lawns or pasture pur¬ poses on coast and all sandy lands Grows equally as well on uplands. It stays green all year. Stools heavily from one parent stalk and spreads rapidly. Blades are wide and give fine forage, and, when well set. forms thick, green carpet that cannot be uprooted by any amount of grazing. Sow 7 to 10 pounds to acre broad¬ cast. 1 lb., 50c, postpaid.

ENGLISH BLUE GRASS (Me-adow Fescue or Randall

Grass) — A splendid grass for permanent pastures, start¬ ing early and also furnishing excellent pasture very late in the season. It also makes good hay, growing on almost any soil, thriving best in that which is moist. Per lb., 45c, postpaid.

PERMANENT HOG PASTURE GRASS MIXTURE

— A combination of mixed clover and best grass suitable for hog pasture. Sow in early Spring or Fall at rate of 1 bushel to the acre. Lb., 40c, parcel post paid.

TIMOTHY AND ALSIKE MIXED — Suitable mixture for wet lands, furnishing good pasture and hay. Sow in early Spring and Fall. 15 pounds of the mixed seed per acre. Lb., 35c, parcel post paid.

Red Top

ENGBXSH BYE — Very valuable variety for permanent pasture, also for lawn purposes. It makes a very heavy leaf growth for pasture or hay. Withstands drouth to a remarkable degree. Used extens¬ ively throughout our section for lawns. Use it in Bermuda sod to keep the lawn green during the fall, winter and early spring, when the Bermuda is dormant. Sow from September until March at the rate of two to three bushels to the acre. 1 lb., 30c, postpaid.

JOHNSON GRASS— A most pro¬ lific perennial hay and pasture grass, eminently suitable to hot, dry climate and soils. It makes excellent hay and furnishes an enormous amount of grazing. No drouth, methods of culture or ap¬ plication of chemicals to eradicate it will destroy it when once sown, therefore, we do not recommend it to be sown on any land which is intended in future years for other crops. The best time for cutting is before the heads appear, as, if allowed to ripen, it becomes unfit for stock. Sow in March or April, 1 to 1*4 bushels per acre. 1 lb., 35c, postpaid.

RHODES GRASS — It is a per¬ ennial, growing from three to four feet high, with large numbers of very long, narrow and tender leaves, and with rather a few branching seed spikes or slender branching stems. It is a species that does not spread by under ground root-stalks, but produces running branches which root at the joints or nodes, thereby pro¬ ducing new plants. The runners are not so abundant when the grass is growing thickly, and, therefore, does not materially in¬ terfere with the machinery at the time of harvesting the hay crop. Per lb., 75c, postpaid.

PASPA1UM DID A TATUM or DALLAS GRASS — Sow eight to ten pounds to the acre. Has given splendid results in the South. It is an ideal grass for dairy farm¬ ers, as it produces enormous quan¬ tities of fresh, green, juicy feed during the hottest weather. It also keeps green during the winter. Germinates slowly and requires from three to four weeks of warm, moist weather to sprout. Plant from November to March. 8 pounds per acre. Lb., 60c, ppd.

ORCHARD GRASS — This is one of the very best grasses for upland, loamy or moderately stiff soils, af¬ fording a large amount of pasturage as well as making excellent hay if cut. when in bloom. It grows about 3 feet high and matures much earlier than Timothy, does not exhaust the. soil and will produce 2 to 3 tons per acre of fine hay. Having a tendency to grow in clumps, it does better if sown thickly. 1*4 to 2 bushels being the amount usually sown. It does especially well if used with other grasses. 1 lb., 35c, postpaid.

BERMUDA GRASS — Very popular and a great boon in the South for pasture; when once established, no amount of drouth or hot weather will kill it out. It succeeds on nearly all soils, furnishing a constant growth of grass during the Summer, but becomes brown and bare in the Pall and Winter. It cannot be recommended too highly for pasture and general culture in the South, and it is also excellent for Summer lawns. Its strong, creeping roots will absolutely prevent wash. Per lb., 60c, postpaid.

TAIiB MEADOW OAT GRASS — A tall growing grass with flat leaves. It has proven very hardy and may be sown either in the fall or spring. It will do well on wpodland pastures where it is possible to prepare the soil, thoroughly. Ready to cut for hay as soon as it blooms. A good stand can be cut two or three times a season; 30 lbs. of seed to the acre. 1 lb., 45c, postpaid.

TIMOTHY — <No grass is better known than this, nor more generally grown, as it produces the best hay of all grasses, but is of little value for pasture. It pro¬ duces good hay on almost any class of land, but in this section is best suited to bottom lands or good, well- drained soil. Yields about 1 y2 to 2 tons hay to acre. 1 lb., 20c, postpaid.

SUDAN GRASS — A forage crop of immense value. Sudan is an annual, therefore it is necessary to sow every year. Plant grows tall, 7 to 8 feet, stems very small and tender, stools wonderfully; makes fine hay and much relished by stock. Yields 2 to 4 tons per acre. Sow in April, in drills or broadcast, using 3 pounds to the acre, having drills 3 feet apart, and cultivate. If sown broadcast, 14 to 20 pounds will plant an acre. Sudan can be cut two or three times during the season. 1 lb., 25c, postpaid.

RED TOP OR HERDS GRASS— Succeeds better on more soils than any other grass and in all sections of the United States. Grows slowly but becomes very vig¬ orous later and spreads rapidly into a compact sod. Suitable to stiff soils and in low situations subject to overflow, producing luxuriant growth, attaining a height of 3 to 3 y2 feet. For the best quality it should be cut when in bloom; ripens about the same as Timothy. 1 lb., 40c, postpaid.

A Field of Burr Clover

HIGH GRADE CLOVER

ALFALFA CLOVER — This Clover is being more large¬ ly planted in the South every year. When thoroughly established can be cut three or four times a year, yield¬ ing heavily each cutting. Soil must be thoroughly pre¬ pared by deep plowing and harrowing until it is in fine condition. Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. Spring seedings may be made during March and April, and in the fall during September and October on any good soil if properly drained.

FANCY KANSAS ALFALFA — This represents our idea of a real quality and genuine worth in Alfalfa — something to meet all requirements of our most discrim¬ inating customers. Lb., 40c, parcel post paid. DAKOTA NO. 12 ALFALFA- This variety is the re¬ sult of years of careful breeding and represents the highest type of Alfalfa. Dakota produces exceptionally hardy Alfalfa, practically immune to Winter killing. Stands drouth and heat as well. Highly recommended by Mississippi Experiment Station at Stoneville. Our seed is the genuine Dakota No. 12 stock. Lb., 50c, parcel post paid.

BED CLOVER — -A valuable farm crop, largely used for pasturage and soil improvement. Yields two to three cuttings per year. First crop makes rich feed and is

Alfalfa

most valuable for hay. Clover draws nitrogen from the

air largely and is one of the best soil renovating crops. Clover, intelligently used, is the farmer’s best friend. Should be used as a rotation crop. Sow in fall or spring. 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. Lb., 60c, postpaid. MAMMOTH SAPLING CLOVER — Very much like the common Red Clover, but larger, heavier and later. Recommended for thin soils. Sow 10 to 12 pounds to the acre. Lb., 60c, postpaid.

JAPAN CLOVER (Lespedeza Striata) — To obtain a good stand, disc-harrow your land, then scatter the seed on top, roll the field ; this will cover them enough. Sow in March or April. Seeds weigh 25 pounds per bushel. Sow 20 to 25 pounds per acre. Grows anywhere; is tenacious in any soil; lasts always; well known in the South. It may be classed among the most valuable hay and pasture plants in the South. 1 lb., 40c, post¬ paid.

AIiSIKE CLOVER — Thrives well on damp soils or in situations where it is impossible to secure a catch of Red Clover. Because seed goes so much further than Red Clover, and because of its comparatively reasonable price this year, many farmers are giving Alsike the preference. It is also largely sown with Timothy. Sow 6 to 8 pounds to the acre in the spring. 1 lb., 40c, postpaid. MELILOTUS or SWEET CLOVER — A variety of clover which, when young, resembles alfalfa, but on mature development grows from 4 to 6 feet in height. It is extremely vigorous and especially adapted to waste lands, though by many prominent farmers and stock raisers is used on good land for a crop forage. It is very vigorous in growth, standing frost and drouth remarkably well, the top root penetrating the soil very deeply, and occasionally used as a drainage plant for wet soils. It will grow on almost any barren hillside in bottoms, and is equally adapted to all good farm¬ ing lands. Sweet Clover is one of the most valuable crops for bees, being the main honey plant in many sections. We handle only the white blos¬ som variety, which we consider the best. Sow 15 lbs. per acre. Hulled seed. 1 lb., 35c, postpaid.

BURR CLOVER — An annual variety which is sown in August and Sep¬ tember. Makes superior pasturage, fair hay, and if turned under the fol¬ lowing spring, acts as a splendid fertilizer. Grows on any thin land. Sow 10 pounds fancy hulled seed or 20 pounds in the burr, to the acre. Hulled, 1 lb., 40c; in burr, 1 lb., 25c, postpaid.

WHITE CLOVER— This variety is extremely valuable for permanent grass mixtures or those prepared for grazing land. It will stand more grazing than any other clover. As the growth is short it has no value in a hay crop. Much is used in lawns. Sow in spring, 4 to 6 pounds per acre. 1 lb., 75c, postpaid.

CRIMSON CLOVER — Makes excellent green foliage, or if cut when in bloom will make good hay. Especially valuable for improving the soil, making a quick, heavy and very valuable crop for plowing under. Sow 15 pounds to the acre from July to November. Lb., 25c, postpaid. HTJBAN CERTIFIED SWEET CLOVER— The new annual Sweet Clover of the White Blossom type. It is excellent for land improvement and also for hay. It makes a luxurious pasture and is relished by all kinds of stock. Owing to its earliness and profusion of fragrant blooms it is very valuable for bee raisers. 1 lb., 60c, postpaid.

SOY OR SOJA BEANS

The Soy Bean is a legume, and in nutritive value is equal to Red Clover. As a soil improver, it is excellent. This plant will grow on a wide variety of soils, but the richer the soil the larger the yield of forage.

The land should be prepared as for cow peas, and the seed planted in drills at a sufficient distance to permit one or two cultivations. One bushel of seed will plant two or three acres, the amount depending on the distance between the rows. The planting should be shallow, never more than one inch, or many of the seed will decay. This is a very important point to re¬ member. Inoculation with soil from any old soy bean field is not usually necessary. If wanted for hay the crop should be cut when the upper leaves begin to turn yellow, but if wanted for seed the gathering should be delayed until nearly all the leaves have fallen. The hay is easily cured and is nearly as nutritious as Alfalfa hay. The seed planted in drills at a sufficient distance to permit cultivation, using y2 bushel of seed per acre. It is also sown broadcast at the rate of one bushel to the acre. Soy Beans may follow a crop of rye or barley. Sowing thickly will prevent the stalks from growing too coarse, and will enable them to be harvested and cured to better ad¬ vantage. Drill in corn rows. One peck to the acre will help the soil and make fine hog pasture.

MAMMOTH YELLOW SOY BEANS— The largest growing and most popular of Soja Beans for forage purposes. A little later in maturity than other kinds, but makes larger yields, both of forage and seed. Qt., 30c, parcel post paid. OOTOOTAN SOY BEANS — This is the most remark¬ able and most valuable addition to Southern agricul¬ ture for many years. A Hawaiian bean. It is a beautiful fast growing plant growing from 4 to 5 feet high, hav¬ ing fine stems and delicate leaves. It cures quickly and makes a hay of fine texture and splendid quality. For hay and grain combined the Ootootan is in a class by itself. The bean itself is quite small and jet black. One- half-peck plants an acre. Can be planted any time from April 1st to August 1st. Qt., 50c, parcel post paid.

BILOXI SOY BEANS— This bean is different from all other Soys, being large® in type and usually over 6 feet high, wide branching with much foliage. This extra foliage is of great advantage for the silo, for soil renew¬ ing, etc. Stems are large, but hollow and cure easily.

Pods scatter seed very little; two weeks later than the Mammoth Yellow. A rank grower and fine for fall pas¬ turing, seed production and planting in corn for silage.

One bushel usually plants 4 to 5 acres, three-fourths of a bushel broadcast. Price, 40c per qt., postpaid.

LABEDO SOY BEANS — The new Laredo Soy Bean, after a thorough test, has proven to be the best all around Soy Bean and practically immune to root knot.

The Laredo is different from any other variety. Plants get up a few inches high and stool out like oats and each individual plant sends us six to fifteen very fine branches making it one of the very best hay beans. Similar in some respects to O-Too-Tan in regard to seed, however, are a little smaller, black and flat. Very early. One bushel will plant about twelve acres in 2% foot rows, 3 to 4 seeds to the foot in drills so the cost per acre is not so high in comparison to the other Soys.

1 quart, 50c, postpaid.

VIRGINIA — On account of its abundant growth and large yield of beans the Virginia makes most excellent hay and ensilage. As itl is about 20 days earlier than Mammoth Yellow, it can be grown further North and throughout the corn belt. The vines make a fine growth, are filed with pods, stand about 3 feet high, are easy to cut and easy to cure. The stems being fine and the leafage profuse adapts it particularly well for hay mak¬ ing. Qt., 50c; parcel post paid.

Ootootan Soy Beans

VELVET BEANS

Velvet Beans make an enormous growth of vines; greater, in fact, than any other known forage plant, in the same length of time, far surpassing the cow pea in yield. Velvet Beans are usually planted in rows 4 to 5 feet apart, at the rate of about half a bushel per acre. As a soil improver they are considered superior to cow peas, as they make so much larger growth and so much heavier amount of foliage. The proportion of nitrogen contained in the vines is about the same as in cow peas, and as the yield is so much greater, the total amounts of nitrogen and humus added to the soil are correspond¬ ingly larger. A crop of three tons will add as much nitrogen to the soil as will a ton of cotton-seed meal, while the amount of humus will be three times as great.

EARLY BIRD SPECKLED — This early speckled Vel¬ vet Bean is a variety that matures in 90 to 100 days, and can be grown in almost any part of the South. The Early Bird Bean may be planted in April or IVLay, in the drill with corn, or in rows close to the corn, pre¬ ferably after a rain, and cover shallow. The cultivation of the corn does the rest. The beans will begin to mature in July and will about have finished maturing October 1st, or before frost in any section of the South¬ ern states. 1 quart, 30c, postpaid.

OSCEOIiA — This new velvet bean has several advan¬ tages over the early speckled varieties. It is free from the stinging fuzz or velvet on the pods, which makes the other varieties unpleasant to handle. Large beans and pods make them less expensive to gather, and is also much earlier than most of the other beans. It is two weeks earlier than the other beans. It is two weeks earlier than the 100-day. Commences to get ripe about September 1st, and largely ripened by September 15th; all ripe last September. Will make 25 per cent more beans than the 100-day. Blooms mostly purple. 1 qt., 35c, postpaid.

Selected Cotton Seed

To the Cotton grower there is nothing quite as impor¬ tant as the selection of the proper seed for his soil and conditions, and when the variety is chosen that it should be also selected for its vigor and cotton production pedi¬ gree and our offerings are selected for these attributes. Almost every seed must be changed every few years or it “runs out” and does not give the crop it should. Even though you make no change in the variety new seed will much more than repay its aditional cost.

See page 66 for quantity price on Cotton Seed.

WANNAMAKER CLEVELAND- Especially recom¬ mended for sections where the boll weevil is present. Plant is vigorous, thrifty, with low close-jointed basal fruit limbs ; large bolls, easily picked, medium-sized seeds, grayish to greenish. The lint runs 34 to 38 per cent, is fine and strong, 1 to 1-16 inches long.

DELPOS COTTON SEED — If you are interested in pure Delfos Cotton Seed, selected types of 6102 or 631, we advise you to book your order early as the supply is limited and we have started selling early this year. Delta Station, Mississippi, produced the wonderful Delfos 6102 after constant breeding for over a period of ten years and they truly produced one of the best types yet produced. Delfos produces a plant not over four feet high and it has held that standard of height on the strongest Delta lands. It sets its fruit early on numerous lateral branches, beginning close to the ground. As it is very close jointed it will in¬ variably produce a bowl to each joint. The foliage of Delfos Cotton is very light, resembling the willow leaf butter bean. The staple of type is practically speakim? 5 3-16 to 1 % full. Delfos Cotton will mature in about 100 days and its estimated lint is from 31 to 33 1-3 per cent. The respective differences in the two types as we find them to be are as follows: 6102 — Bowls un¬ right, better for strong lands; 631 — Bowls turned down, better for poor lands.

ACALA No. 6 COTTON — Has given the most satis¬ factory results. It has proven to be a large boll variety and very early. The plant is of' medium height with strong main stalk. The bolls large size, ovate-oblong with short blunt point. The lint will puli strong 1 1-8 inch and the percentage of lint will average 33 1-3. It is considered one of the most desirable sorts to plant in sections infested by the boll weevil.

EXFBESS 350 — Express 350 is the best variety to use now, under weevil conditions, that is available in commercial quantities. Under favorable conditions it will mature in 90 to 100 days, being the best early staple cotton available. It pulls a full 1 3-16 inch staple of very even length, and will gin out 29 to 30 per cent lint.

SALSBUEY PEDIGREED — This cotton is a cross

between Wannamaker Cleveland and Express. The strong points of Salsbury cotton are these: It has the best staple of any short cotton grown and brings a premium ; it is very early ; it is disease resistant ; has medium foliage; it is fast blooming and sets bolls early; it is very prolific; easy to pick and has large bolls; makes on our upland sandy lands a staple above one inch, in the Delta 1 1-8 to 1 3-16 ; has good ginning percentage; a magnificent quality of lint; high spinning value ; the strongest lint ever produced.

ME BANE EARLY TRIUMPH — For several years there has been an increasing demand for a tough-fibre- cotton of medium staple; something between the ordi¬ nary short varieties and long staples. Mebane Triumph is ideal in this respect; pulls from 1 1-16 to 1 1-8 inches, has a strong, tough fibre, storm-proof and makes a good “bender” cotton, bringing good premium in price. Extra large boll, easy to pick, drouth resistant, lint out-turn at gin 37 to 39 per cent, and one of the earliest of the extra big boll cottons.

Half and Half

KING’S EARLY IMPROVED — A very early, small seeded variety, matures two weeks earlier than any other sort and nearly always thirds itself. On account of its extreme earliness it is largely planted in the boll weevil infested sections, as it matures most of its crop before the weevil makes its appearance.

HALF AND HALF— We recommend Half and Half the most valuable sort staple cotton ever developed to planters who prefer a short staple, or have the boll weevil to contend with. It is earlier than King’s, and stands drouth better than the average varieties. On fertile land, with good seasons, its lint will run as high as 50 per cent. The staple is about 1 inch. We feel sure that anyone who plants Half and Half the coming season will be more than pleased.

SIMPKINS EARLY PROLIFIC — Originated also in

Carolina by W. A. Simpkins, and like King’s Improved, from the old Sugar Loaf; in fact, King’s and Simpkins are very similar in many ways — about the same shape and size plants; same size boll ; extra early maturity and very prolific — hence its name. — When you are look¬ ing for an extra early heavy yielding, short cotton, try this variety.

Tennessee Golden

MILLET

Millet makes a large-yielding and most nutritions hay crop, quick growing and easily cured. It, however, re¬ quires to be seeded thickly — not less than 1 bushel per acre and the crop should always be cut while in bloom, before seed hardens in the head. If the seed is allowed to form the stalks get hard and it does not make nearly as good hay, and at the same time is more exhaustible to the land. Can be sown any time from the middle of April to the end of July. Do not sow too early. TENNESSEE GOLDEN — Our Southern grown millet makes much better growth than the Western grown seed. This true Tennessee grown, a type that produces better quality, grows taller and gives a larger yield of very nutritious hay, is a quick grower. It should be cut for hay when it begins to show the heads. Plant from April to August. The sowing of Southern Millet with cow- peas for a hay crop is increasing in favor each year. When this is done, use an early variety, such as Whip- poor-will or New Era, sowing about 3-4 to a bushel of millet with one bushel of Peas to an acre. Lb., 20c, postpaid.

WESTERN GOLDEN — This variety is very similar to the Tennessee Golden; however, it does not produce quite as much hay, and the heads are not quite so large. Lb., 20c, postpaid.

PEARL or CAT-TAIL — Is largely used for dairymen. Furnishing them green food throughout the summer. Should not be planted before May in warm soils, as it is a tropical plant, when it has reached the height of three to four feet, it will stool out enormously and make a rapid growth. In this way 3 or 4 cuttings a season can be obtained. It can be fed either green or cured as dried forage, making a most nutritious feed which is relished by all kinds of stock. Sow 5 pounds per acre in drills 3 feet apart or broadcast at the rate of 20 to 80 pounds per acre. Lb., 35c, parcel post paid. JAPANESE or BARNYARD MILLET — This is a for¬ age plant of great value, growing in most any soil. It has been known to produce 3 to 5 tons of fodder if planted early. After second cutting it will afford a pasturage all the fall. It is relished by all stock, and is sometimes called the Billion Dollar Grass. 1 lb., 80c, postpaid.

KAFFIR CORN, MILO MAIZE

WHITE ZAFFIR — Grows 4 to 5 feet high. The stems are very leafy and keep green and brittle, unlike other sorghums, which harden. Makes excellent fodder, either green or dried. For fodder, sow from % to 1 bushel, either broadcast or in drills. Lb., 25c, postpaid. RED KAFFIR — Grows taller than the white; stalks slender, juicy and very leafy. Ripens earlier than that of the white and yields much heavier. Lb., 25c, parcel post paid.

YELLOW MILO MAIZE— A non-saccharine sorghum of high value. It is a vigorous grower, of deep green color, attaining a height of 8 to 10 feet. Plant in April, May or June, 6 to 8 pounds of seed to an acre in drills. Lb., 20c, parcel post paid.

EGYPTIAN WHEAT or SHALLU-A valuable new grain, entirely different from wheat. The heads are large and heavy. All stock love it, and do well. It makes hens lay better than any poultry food. It will stand more wet or dry weather than maize or cane. Plant in drills 3 feet apart, using ten pounds of seed per acre, or broadcast, using from 2 to 4 bushels. Lb., 35c, par¬ cel post paid.

FETERITA — This wonderful new non-saccharine sor¬ ghum is somewhat similar to Kaffir Corn, with the ex¬ ception that the grains are somewhat larger and softer than Kaffir corn, and it is preferred by many on this account for feed in the head. It is about undoubtedly the most drouth-resisting of any of the sorghum family. Sow in April or May in drills, 5 pounds to thei acre. Lb., 25c, parcel post paid.

SORGHUM OR CANE SEED

TEXAS SEEDED RIBBON — This cane gets its name from being a variety that closely resembles the true Ribbon Cane, raised from cuttings. It makes the fin¬ est kind of syrup. Lb., 25c, parcel post paid. JAPANESE HONEY — This variety of cane is with out a doubt the best all-around cane for the Southern farmers. It is the very best syrup producer of all of the varieties and is also a splendid forage crop for green feeding, making excellent hay if sown in drills very thick, and may be planted any time between April and August. It grows 10 to 12 feet high and is very prolific, sometimes producing five to seven stalks from one seed. Matures about the middle of August to October, owing to time of planting, but will keep green and stand, if desired, until killed by frost, allowing the farmer to take his own time to harvest for syrup. As a syrup pro¬ ducer it has no equal, being exceedingly juicy and sweet, making from 200 to 400 gallons per acre, highly flavored. Lb., 25c, parcel post paid.

EARLY ORANGE — A variety well adapted for the South. It is from 8 to 10 days later than the Early Amber. Largely used for hay and fodder. Lb., 20c, parcel post paid.

EARLY AMBER — Farmers and stockmen say that the Early Amber is the most valuable fodder plant in exist¬ ence. It is profitably grown from Manitoba to Mexico on any good corn ground, and it is but little affected by drouth. Lb., 20c, parcel post paid.

RED TOP SORGHUM — Grown extensively in Middle Tennessee. Very sweet and one of the best for hay. Lb., 20c, parcel post paid.

Sorghum — Early Amber

PEANUTS

Prepare the ground well, laying it off in rows with a shovel plow; the rows should be ZV2 feet apart, and put two kernels to the hill, which are about one foot apart. Cultivate thoroughly and keep the land as level as possible. One and one-half bushels of unshelled nuts will seed an acre.

SPANISH — In addition to their value for growing for nuts these are very largely used in the South as a forage and fat¬ tening crop for hogs and other stock. They are early to ma¬ ture very productive, and in the far South, where they can be planted during March and April, two crops can be made in one year, the second crop being planted early in July, the tops making a hay crop and the nuts a grain crop. They grow more compact than the Virginia Peanuts, making it possible to grow them closer, making the cultivation easier also. This variety frequently yields sixty bushels of market¬ able peanuts and two tons of hay per acre. Lb., 25c, post¬ paid.

TENNESSEE RED — The finest variety grown. Especially adapted to the black, waxy land as well as the sandy soil. The nuts contain three large kernels in each and are enor¬ mously productive. Lb., 30c, parcel post paid.

MAMMOTH WHITE VIRGINIA— Largest size; white va¬ riety. Lb., 30c, postpaid.

Spanish Peanuts

CLAY — Very similar to the Unknown but earlier; vig¬ orous growth ; very popular.

RED RIPPERS — One of the most prolific varieties of cow peas. Vines grow long; make an abundance of hay. MIXED — Preferred by many farmers where the crop is intended for soil improving; they will grow thicker than separate varieties, producing better crop of vines and forage.

WHITE TABLE PEAS

CALIFORNIA LARGE WHITE BLACZEYE — Very

large, kidney-shaped peas, maturing the earliest of all ; fine for early market. Qt., 40c, postpaid.

WHITE BROWN-EYED — A desirable table pea. Pro¬ lific. Qt., 35c, postpaid.

WHITE LADY PEAS — Very small seeded but strong growing and prolific pea for table use. Peas are creamy white and of the finest quality. Qt., 50c, postpaid.

CROWDER PEAS — Exceptionally fine for table use. Prolific and very sweet. Qt., 60c, postpaid.

FIELD BEANS

MUNG BEAN — Wonderful new bean for for¬ age. Heavy seeder, grows well on light or clay soils, produces tremendous quantity of nitrogen nodules on its roots. Beans are ex¬ cellent for table use. Matures in 90 to 100 days, a little earlier than speckled pea, but can be planted at any time and the same way as cow peas. Plant grows upright like soja bean, making it easy to cut with blade or ma¬ chine. Leaves stay on stalk well while being handled. 1 lb., 50c, postpaid.

CASTOR BEANS (Ricinus or Castor Oil Bean) — Plant like com. in March and April; use V2 peck of seed to the acre in rows 4 feet apart ; thin plants to 24 inches. The plant prefers a rich, well drained sandy or clay loam. Qt., 55c, postpaid.

SAGRAIN

THE WONDER FORAGE CROF

Sagrain is planted in regular cotton width rows, using about 7 pounds per acre. The stalks should be left about 10 to 15 inches apart in the drill depending upon the fertility of the soil. All classes of live stock are very fond of Sagrain. Some planters use corn binders and feed direct from the shocks ; oth¬ ers put under shelter; still others cut the heads from the standing stalks, using cane knives and throwing the heads into wagons much the same as pulling corn. In this manner a man can cut as much Sagrain as he can pull corn. Each stalk will make six to eight heads which are equivalent to so many small ears of corn.

Sagrain has done well on heavy lands where corn does not do well and has also given sat¬ isfactory yields on land too thin for corn. Price, 1 lb., 35c; 7 lbs., enough to plant 1 acre, $1.75; parcel post paid.

COW PEAS

Sow in May, June and July, at the rate of one-half bushel to the acre. The value of cow peas as a soil en- richer is now well known. As fast as farmers under¬ stand the advantages of this plant as an agency through which the value of their land may be greatly increased, there will be more successful farmers and more profitable farms. It adds nitrogen to the soil at less cost than any other method. Cow peas make excellent hay.

Prices on cow peas given on application Let us know how many you will need.

WHIPPOORWILL — A favorite early bunch-growing variety. Seed is reddish brown speckled. A great fa¬ vorite on account of its early maturity.

NEW ERA — An early, upright-growing variety. The seed is smaller. It is not inclined to run. Matures in sixty to seventy-five days.

B BEAUTIFUL ROSES

Knowing the best types of roses for onr territory we have listed a few that we find best for the Southland. Roses that we offer have stood the test and are the types of roses that will grow and make your rose garden more beautiful. The rose! is undoubtedly the most universal favorite in the flower garden and is truly the queen of flowers. Location, preparation and planting have so much to do with success and I am devoting a few lines to the subject. The- bed should never be over four and a half feet wide so that you can reach every plant. A bed twenty-five feet long will be sufficient for forty-eight hybrid tea or monthly roses planted sixteen inches apart.

Preparing the bed: If in sod, remove the sod; then one foot of the top soil and lay to one side. Sandy soil or clay is the best types of soils for roses. Add about one third well-rotted manure or a full sack of Sheep manurej to twenty five foot bed to which should be added about fifty pounds of bone meal. The soil and the fertilizers should be well mixed before putting it back into the bed. Your rose bed should never be located where the plants will be shaded as roses want plenty of sunlight. Extreme care should be taken that the rose bed is not to close to large) trees or large shrubs as they draw too much nourishment from the soil and shade them too much.

HYBRID TEAS

INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES. Continued

SCALECIDE

The Complete Dormant Spray

Scalecide is truly the complete dormant spray. Applied in the fall it controls scale of all kinds, bud-moth, pear psylla, peach leaf-curl, fire blight cankers and fungous cankers. The delayed dormant spray with Scalecide controls scale, aphis, pear thrips, leaf miner, case bearer, leaf roller, European red mite, bud-moth, fire blight cankers and fungous cankers. And in ad¬ dition year after year use of Scalecide invigor¬ ates the trees. Scalecide is guaranteed to make a better orchard than lime-sulfur.

Scalecide is pleasant to use; it does not in¬ jure even the eyes. It is non-poisonous. It saves half the labor of spraying — a tankful of dilute Scalecide goes as far as two tankfuls of dilute lime-sulfur. Scalecide saves the cost of nicotine; saves the cost of spreader; saves more than three-fourths the freight and haulage. A fifteen gallon drum of Scalecide covers the same trees as a fifty-gallon barrel of lime-sulfur. Quart, 75c; 1 gal., $1.75; 5 gal., $6.25; 10 gal., $10.60; 30 gal. barrel $26.00, F. O. B. Vicksburg.

SULFOCIDE A better summer spray

Sulfocide is a highly concentrated non-pois- onou^ liquid sulfur fungicide — entirely distinct from lime-sulfur. Within a few minutes after the spray is applied and before it is dry, Sul¬ focide is decomposed by the action of the air leaving a film of extremely fine sulfur in its most active fungicidal form.

Briefly these are the reasons why Sulfo¬ cide is a better summer spray ; it does not russet apples (bordeaux does) ; it does not devitalize the foliage and dwarf the fruit (lime-sulfur does) ; it can be used on both peaches and ap¬ ples and on all kinds of fruits and vegetables (no other fungicide can). It imparts to the fruit a beautiful luster and finish. It costs no more than home-made bordeaux. 1 pt., 70c; 1 qt., $1.00; 1 gal., $2.75; 5 gal., $8.75, F. O. B. Vicksburg.

RAX IS NOT A POISON

While it is absolutely deadly to rats and mice, it is harmless to human be- i n g s, domestic animals, poultry and birds. It may be used anywhere with com¬ plete safety.

Rats Leave Before They Die Within a few days after eating bait prepared with Rax, rats and mice become feverish and seek the open air where they die — outdoors.

How to Use Rax

Add water to the bottle and shake contents until water is cloudy. Then moisten bait (bread, crackers or cheese) with the mixture and place it near the holes. Rax does not affect the taste of the bait.

Directions are furnished with each package. One bot¬ tle is enough for an ordinary house; allow one bottle to each 500 feet of floor space in large barns, mills, eta.

There are two styles of the Buckeye Incubator — the Buck¬ eye “Standard” and the Buckeye “Style E”. They are the re¬ sult of over thirty-five years of study and experiment, ^and they include today every possible device for the promotion of the highest efficiency in incubation. There are no other* incu¬ bators like them. They will hatch more chicks and better chicks than any other incubator in the world. Buckeye “Standard” Incubators are made with a double-thick case, the outer layer of which is California Redwood. Heat insulation is practically perfect. The hot water circulating tank is of pure copper — it will never rust or corrode. The automatic regrflator is the most perfect device of its kind ever invented. It assures the uniform temperature essential to proper incubation at all times and with¬ out any attention whatever. The lamp is supplied with either an oil or gas burner — each one efficient economical in operation, dependable and fire-proof. Buckeye “Style E” Incubators are a little more inexpensively constructed and a little less ex¬ pensive in price — but they contain all the essential features of Buckeye design.

BUCKEYE STANDARD COLONY STOVE BROODER

The most remarkable coal-burning brooder ever invented. It is self-feeding, self -regulating simple, safe and everlasting. Cuts the cost of equipment and cost of operation to less than half. Reduces the time and labor to less than a fourth. Simple as a kitchen range, Broods from 100 to 1000 chicks. Write for
