NON-WARRANTY: Note — There are so many contingencies 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 control, 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 rep¬
resented, but:

ductiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs, plants they send out, and they will not be re¬

should be narrow so as to permit of cutting to the center. Before winter
the transplanted beds with about four inches of manure. Salt is an
excellent manure for asparagus. Sow a little on the surface in the spring

BEANS (Continued)

DWARF OR BUSH. GREEN POD VARIETIES

Bl'RPEES STRINGLESS GREEN POD BEANS— Earliest of all
green-podded bush beans. The only absolutely stringless green-poded
bean on the market. The pod is round, full and larger and straighter
than that of the Red Valentine. In quality it is superior to most other
bush beans. Rust proof in all localities as any can be. Vigorous grow¬
ing; hardy and productive. Exceedingly crisp and tender, and no ap¬
proach to stringness. Sure cropper; pods long and of delicious flavor.
Pkt., 10c; V2 lb., 20c; lib., 30c; 51b.. $1.25.

Cultivation should be frequent until the plants begin to bloom,
but only when the foliage is dry, for if disturbed when wet the vines
will rust.

EARLY YELLOW SIX WEEKS — An early snap-short variety, pro¬
ducing edible pods thirty days after germination. Very bushy, erect.
Pods long, flat, strait. Pkt., 10c; y2 lb., 15c; 1 lb., 25c; 5 lb., $1.25.

IMPROVED EARLY RED VALENTINE — Is ten days earlier than
any other stock of Valentine beans offered. In addition to this, it is
more productive, grows a stronger and more thrifty vine, yields larger
and better filled pods than does any other strain of this variety. A
single trial cannot but convince the most skeptical that it is all we
claim. Pkt., 10c; y2 lb., 15c; lib., 30c; 51bs., $1.25.

BROAD WINDSOR — (English Dwarf or Broad) — This is entirely
different from the common French bean. The large coarse pods are
borne on stout plants which are coarser, more erect and less branched
than those of the French bean. It is largely used in Europe, Seed
large or flat unsymetrical shape; light brown color. Very hardy.

ingly productive and easily gathered. Probably this is why it comes by
its discourteous name. It is an excellent bean. Pkt., 10c; y» lb., 20c;

1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.25.

KENTUCKY WONDER — Vine vigorous, climbing well

Not Postpaid

KENTUCKY WONDER BEANS

BROCCOLI

CULTURE— Sow early sorts as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring, in shallow driliia,
drawrn three of four inches apart. Plant out two feet apart each way when the plants are about four
inches high. Cultivate the same as cabbage, in rich soil. Use the same remedy for insect attacks as
are recommended for cabbage. They are excellent and deserve much wider culture this is usual in
this country.

Nearly allied to the Cauliflower, but more hardier. It succeeds best in a moist and rather cold

atmosphere.

LARGE WHITE MAMMOTH — A valuable variety, -with very large, firm heads. Pkt, 6c; ok., 25c; % lb., 75c.

Our Lawn Seed is the Very Best Grade

BRUSSELS SPROUTS

CULTURE — Sow in May in the same manner as Cauli¬
flower and transplant in July, one foot apart, in the rows
which should be one and one-half feet apart. In gardens, both
large and small, Brussels Sprouts are, without exception, the
very best winter vegetable that can be grown. The real sprout
is not much larger than a marble, and as firm and hard almost
as the stalk itself. These are the sort which cooks prefer.
They strip off the outer covering, cook them whole, and serve
them up artistically in that fashion. When cooked through
and no more, such Sprouts melt in the mouth like the tender-
est Cauliflower, and are equally as good. (Postage paid on
these.)

This is one of the best vegetables for winter use, produc¬
ing from the axils of the leaves an abundance of sprouts re¬
sembling small cabbages; an excellent, mild flavor. It is a
delicacy much esteemed in Europe. Sow in seed-bed middle
of spring and transplant and manage as winter cabbage.

DWARF IMPROVED — A variety producing compact ODENSE MARKET— Produces an abundant crop of firm,

sprouts of excellent quality. Pkt., 5c ; oz., 15c ; Vi lb., 30c ; 1 well formed sprouts, thickly set around. Pkt., 10c ; ©z., 60c ;
tb., $1.00. Vi lb. $1.60; 1 lb., $5.00.

BEETS

CULTURE — Sow as early in the spring as the ground can be worked and every two weeks after
for a succession up to the first week of July. For general crop sow about the middle of May. The
soil should be light sandy loam, well enriched with
stable manure and plowed and harrowed until very
fine. Sow in drills one foot to fifteen inches part,
and when well up, thin to from four to six inches.

The young beets pulled out of the rows are excellent
used as greens.

EARLY BLOOD RED TUR¬
NIP — Here we have the old
stand-by, the turnip beet with
its dark red color, well known
to so many homesteads. It is
useless to occupy space in des¬
cribing it, suffice to say, it is
the best variety for family use.

EXTRA EARLY FLAT
EGYPTIAN— Slightly earlier
than Crosby’s Egyptian but not
quite as large. Rich deep red
with sweet tender flesh, excel¬
lent for market or home gar¬
den.

CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN—

Grown extensively by market
gardeners on account of its
smooth skin and dark red color.
Roots are almost round with
very small crown of leaves.

DETROIT DARK RED— One
of the best for market and home
garden. Deep rich r ed, very
desirable for canning. Leaves
dark green, shaded with red. It
is unsurpassed in quality. For
general purposes we recommend
this as the best beet for the
home garden.

One ounce will sow 60 feet of drill; six to eight pounds for one acre
in drills. Ready for table use in 40 to 60 days.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; % lb., 25c; 1 lb., 75c, Postpaid.

EARLY BLOOD TURNIP BEETS

STOCK BEETS

Not Postpaid 1 lb., 40c; 10 lbs., $3.75

Nothing better for cattle, hogs and sheep. Oz, 5c; V& lb., 25c; 1 lb., 50c; 10 lbs., $4.50. Postpaid.
CULTURE — As all Mangels require a deep soil in order to grow well, plow and sub-soil at
least a foot to 18 inches and apply plenty rich stable manure.- Bow in May or June, in rows eigh¬
teen inches to two feet apart, and thin to eighteen inches in rows.

GOLDEN TANKARD MANGEL — Shape, cylindrical; color
deep, rich yellow ; flesh yellow, circled with white. Unequalled
for feeding stock. It is an enormous cropper.

MAMMOTH LONG RED — A particularly fine stock of
Mangel. The roots attain enormous size, smooth and regular
in shape. It grows well above ground and is easily pulled.
The best variety for deep loose soil.

NEW MANGEL BEET SLUDSTRUP— It is the largest

producer of any of the mangels, often yielding 60 tons to the
acre. It grows largely above the ground and is very easy to
harvest. Color, a golen yellow. In nutrition it surpasses
all others and is the best keeper on the list. TRY IT.

For Greens Throughout the Summer

SWISS CHARD

A Cheap Feed for Poultry

SWISS CHARD— -‘CUT AND COME AGAIN”

This vegetable gives maximum returns for little care and
space; it yields a constant crop from July to winter. If your
garden space is limited, Swiss Chard must have a place, for
in proportion to ground accupied, Swiss Chard produces more
food for the table than almost any other vegetable. The
leaves are used for greens the sam as spinach or beet tops.
Sow early in spring, in rows 16 inches apart, and thin out to
6 inches in the rows. It can be used alii Summer when spinach
is not available. The leaves grow very large, with broad, flat
pure white stems, and mid-ribs, which may be cooked like
asparagus, or made into very good pickles. As it grows, thin
out for use and keep clear of weeds. Good cultivation in¬
creases its tenderness. Gardeners use Swiss Chard as a catch
crop, giving quick results on temporarily idle spaces. The
investment is small and returns large. Pkt., 6c ; oz., 10c ;
1-4 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 76c, Postpaid.

LUCULLUS SWISS CHARD— A new Moss Curled sort
Very large leaves. The mid-ribs are very broad and form a
good substitute for asparagus during the summer months.

GIANT HALF-SUGAR — This magnificent half-sugar beet,
while giving nearly as large a yield of easily grown and har¬
vested roots as a crop of mammoth Long Red Mangels, supplies
a food of very much higher nutritive value, the roots for
feeding purposes being really more valuable, pound for pound,
than those of the very best strains of sugar beet, and the
yield under equally favorable conditions is more than double.
The roots grow partly out of the ground and crop can be
harvested and stored at less expense. We are certain that
everyone who plants this variety and grown it with care will
be much pleased.

To the Stockgrowers :

We wish to call special attention to stock beets and
carrots as a feed for cattle, horses, hogs, sheep, etc.

Mangel or stock beets and sugar beets yield from 30
to 50 tons per acre, and we consider a ton of them as
valuable for feed as a ton of hay. With a little extra
work they can be kept all winter and there is nothing
that produces as much milk as beets and carrots — car¬
rots add that splendid golden color to butter which helps
bring the price.

We would advise extensive planting. The best ones
are Giant-Half Sugar, Large Red Mangel and Golden
Tankard beets ; Yellow and White Belgian, and Long
Orange carrots.

Do not fail to include these in yo>ur order for seeds
for spring planting.

SUGAR BEETS

Usually planted for sugar making. On account of
the amount of saccharine contained in the Sugar Beet,
it is much relished by stock, and as a fattener it is very
desirable, but does not yield the tonnage that is common
with the regular Mangel Wurtzels and the Half-Sugar
Stock Beets. Culture same as stock beets.

Klein Wenzleben — This variety is the best in cul¬
tivation not largest, but richest in saccharine.

Oz., 5c; yz lb., 25c; I lb., 50c; 10 lbs., $4.50, postpaid.

CARROTS

OXHEART CARROT

Carrots are one of the most wholesome foods supplying precious
vitamines, and when only half grown are very delicious and relished
by most persons. The seeds are slow to germinate and they should
be marked in rows with some other quick maturing crop.

CULTURE — Any garden soil ’will grow carrots. For early crops sow as early in the
spring as possible and in rows eighteen inches to two feet apart. Cover not more than
5,4 inch deep. When the plants are about three or four inches high thin out to two
inches apart for the small early varieties and four inches apart for the late ones. Give
them plenty of room. Keep them thoroughly hoed.

A packet will plant about 20 feet; an ounce, 160 feet; and three pounds, an acre.

The late crops should he dug in the autumn and stored like Turnips and other root
crops.

late summer and winter. Fed to milch cows, it increases flow’ of rich milk and im¬
parts to the butter in winter a fresh flavor and golden color.

roots tapering slightly, but uniformly stump-rooted and smooth color, deep orange-red
flesh, very crisp and tender. Although this is a medium early sort is furnishes roots of

useable size as early as any ; it is a heavy cropper and is undoubtedly one of the best for both

field sort. Pkt., 6c; oz., 10c; % lb., 26c; lb., 80c.

oz., 10c; % lb., 26c; lb., 80c.

DANVERS HALF LONG — An old, popular variety and in the past the most largely
used, not only for stock raising, but for table use as well. The perfect type is about
eight inches long and about two and one-half inches wide at the shoulder, tapering to a
sort of half -point at the bottom. Color is a bright orange scarlet ; is very heavy cropper.

quality and productiveness, being a little more stump rootedv than some varieties ; its ton age
per acre is quite heavy.

"When grown it is from 7 to 8 inches in length and of a lemon color.

CABBAGE FOR ALL SEASONS

As with all other seeds our selection of cabbage stocks are positively from the best sources of
supply, and the best strains obtainable, as proved by our own tests;

CULTURE — Cabbage does best in rich, moist, well prepared soil ; extra care should be taken in working it deeply u
most) varieties of cabbage do not thrive in shallow soils. For the early varieties in the mountain states and similar climatic
conditions sow in hotbeds In the late winter or very early spring and transplant to the open ground &a soon as ground can

be worked. Don't neglect to “harden
the plants off” before transplant¬
ing and see to it that they are not
so thick in the beds as to make
them spindly. In transplantinug to
the open ground set in rows 18 to 24
inches apart and 12 to 18 inches
between plants in the row. For
field cultivation three feet between
rows would be better. The fall and
winter varieties can be handled in
the same way or if the seedbed is
in good condition an easier and
equally successful method is to sow
the seed in hills or with a regular
garden drill in the open ground us¬
ing about one pound of seed per
acre ; ..when plants are well out of
the ground thin out to proper
distances in the rorw. One ounce
1600 plants ; half pound to trans¬
plant an acre.

ABOUT PESTS. If bothered
with cabbage worms use arsenate of
lead and for cabbage louse or aphis,
Black Leaf 40 is effective.

DANISH BALD HEAD— SHORT 8TE.YI

HOLLANDER OR DANISH BALL HEAD — The best uwlb-
bage to store during the winter, and is in large demand e’ses’y--
where at profitable prices during the spring months. Oat
stock is the very be3t type of this, the best of all late cab*
bages. Originated in Denmark and grown and selected im
more than fifty years by Danish gardeners, many thousand#
of tone being imported into this country annually. Heads
hard, round, of good marketable size, fine grained and km*
keeper. Grown in Denmark. Pkt., be; oz., 20c; ^ lb.,

PREMIUM LATE-FLAT DUTCH— As a variety for urlj&te*
market it has no superior, and is more extensively grown th-ap
any other. Heads large, bluish green, round, solid, broad amd
flat on top, and often tinted with reddish-brown after being
touched with frost ; they open white and crisp, are tender ard
well flavored. It is a fall and winter variety, and one o#
the very best to keep. With good cultivation, on moist, rfek
ground, ninety-five in a hundred will head up hard and

ed medium early cabbage ; the heads

CAULIFLOWER

CULTURE. This is the same as for cabbage, except that extra manure and plenty of water will pay upon this, if the
soil be dry, water frequently, and if the. plants could have a heavy mulch of hay or straw, it would keep the soil moist and the
plants would not suffer from drouth. The early kinds should be strong enough to plant out not later than the middle of April,
flie late kinds may be planted out same time as for cabbage. To destroy the Cauliflower maggot, it is recommended to take one

Cauliflower-

Cantaloupe or Muskmelon

• Cantaloupes or muskmelons are a long season crop requiring for their best development a sandy
soil which q.uickly warms up, a season of 90 to 100 days growing weather, hot sun and ample irrigation.
Though these conditions are best found in irrigated sections of the West, there is practically no region
3n the' United States in which some variety cannot be successfully grown.

CULTURE — Muskmelons delight in moderately rich, warm, mellow loam. The seed should be
planted in the spring upon the arrival of settled warm weather. Plant seeds 1 inch deep in hills, 4 to
’6 feet apart each way, and as soon as the plants begin to run, remove all but four of the most likely
ones. • Spray often with Arsenate of Lead.

UTAH’S FAMOUS CELERY

CULTURE — Sow the seed in a light, rich, dry border as early as the ground can be worked, in
drills eight to ten inches apart, and cover the seeds about a quarter of an inch deep rolling or tread¬
ing them in if the ground be dry. When farily out of the seed leaf they may be transplanted to an¬
other bed, or they may be thinned out in beds or trenches. The bed should be kept well weeded, and
and occasional soaking with water in dry weather will do the plants good. Early in June is the proper
time to set the plants out in beds or trenches. Press the soil firmly against the roots. In the garden
the better way is to set the plants in shallow trenches — we say shallow, for it is obviously a bad plan to
remove all the good soil (as must be done in a deep trench and put the plants in that which is poor.)
The plants may be set in a single row in a narrow trench or the trench may be made into a bed wide
enough to hold two three or four rows, and in that case the plants are in a compact form, to be covered
for the winter where they grow. One ounce will make about 2,500 plants. Postpaid.

CHINESE CELERY

IMPROVED CHINESE OR UTAH CELERY— so much in demand.

This strain was originally developed by the Chinese gardeners.. Its
superior qualities gave them exclusive control of the celery market
while their supply lasted. We have finally succeeded in getting a
reliable source of supply for the seed of this much sought after var¬
iety. It is much stouter, thicker and heavier, .with double the
amount of heart of any known celery. The plant is beautiful in
appearance, of close habit and compact growth, and blanches to
a beautiful creamy white. Ribs perfectly solid, crisp and of a de¬
licious nutty flavor. Once sown, always grown. Pkt., 15c; oz.t
50c; % lb., $2.00; lb., $7.00.

CHINESE CELERY — One of the choicest sorts known; crisp,
tender and delicious. For market and home use is unequalled ; is
a good keeper and grown almost exclusively by the celery growers of
Utah. Oz., 50c; % lb., $1.50; 1 lb., $6.00.

WHITE PLUME — This celery is valued because, naturally, the
stalks and portions of the inner leaves and hearts are white; by
simply tying up the stalks and drawing up the soil with the hoe,
the work of blanching is complete. It is ornamental, tender,,
crisp, and of good flavor, and very early. Pkt., 5c ; oz., 20c ; % lb.,
75c; lb., $2.75.

GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING— The plant is of beautiful ap¬
pearance, of close habit and compact growth and straight, vigor¬
ous stalks. The ribs are perfectly solid, crisp brittle and of delicate
flavor, surpassed by no other variety, while it has the decided merit
of being self -blanching to a very remarkable degree. Our stock of
this variety is selected with special care in France. It is the strain
for market gardeners, also family garden. Pkt., 6c ; oz., 20c ; % lb.,
75d ; lb., $2.75.

GIANT PASCAL — This is a green leaved variety. It blanches
very quickly after earthing up, when it is of a beautiful yellowish-
white color, very solid and crisp, and of a nutty flavor, which can¬
not be equalled by any other sort. The stalks grow broad and
thick, a single plant making a large bunch. Under high culture
this variety will give the best satisfaction. Pkt., 6c ; oz., 20c ; ^4 lb**

Commercial Fertilizers

Commercial Fertilizers are being used more
and more throughout the Inter Mountain Sec¬
tions of recent years where the soils have been
continously cropped until they are becoming de¬
pleted of certain vital plant food elements, most
important of which are Nitrogen, Acid Phosphate
and Potash, and must be replaced in addition to
barnyard manures and cover crops, which furnish
these elements in limited quantities, and frequent¬
ly in much improperly balanced proportions to
meet all requirements of certain plants.

Briefly the main function and noticable ef¬
fect of Nitrogen in plant life is to promote quick
start, fast growth, and development of heavy vine
and leaf of a dark green color.

Acid Phosphate, promotes good root growth
to sustain a proper proportion to vine, and is es¬
sential in developing heavy budding, sturdy bloom
and blossom which better withstands attacks of
insects and insures firm setting of fruit and seed.

Potash developes the fibre in frame structure
of plant to better enable it to withstand the hard¬
ships of weather conditions, also insures firmness
of fruit or grain.

We carry in stock a few standard formulas
for local crops and as agents for the Inland Fer¬
tilizer Co., can supply you with any of the separate
elements or formulas containing any percentage of
the three elements desired for any crop.

Prices range from $4.00 to $6.00 per 100 lbs.
according to the formula.

SWEET CORN

CULTURE — Plant as soon as the ground becomes warm in the spring, in hills about three feet apart ; give thorough cultiva¬
tion. Our sweet corn is carefully grown and selected, only the choicest, most perfect ears being selected for seed. It is far
superior to the ordinary stock.

Golden Bantam Sweet Corn

COUNTRY GENTLEMAN — The ears are not only of good
size, but are produced in great abundance, frequently bearing
four good ears, while the average is three to the stalk. The
cob is very small, giving great depth to the kernels, which are
of pearly whiteness. But the great merit of the Country
Gentleman corn is its delicious quality. It is, without doubt,
lihe sweetest and most tender of all sweet corn, and at the
same time with ears of good size.

MAMMOTH WHITE CORY— The largest and best extra
early sweet corn. The stalks are no larger than those of the
white Cob Cory, but each stalk furnishes two or more large,
fine-shaped ears, which are fit for use before those of any
other sort. The ears are twelve-rowed, very symetrical and
handsome, with no opening between the rows at the base. The
grain is large, broad, very white and of remarkably good
quality for such an early sort.

IMPROVED GOLDEN BANTAM— The Earliest of All

All Seeds Tested as to Germination and Purity

Field Corn

PRIDE OP THE NORTH— (80 days.) This variety has
smaller ears than late kinds, but is valuable to grow, as it ma¬
tures earlier. Planted as late as July 4th, it has fully matured
by October 1st. The ears have from fourteen to sixteen rows,
grown eight to ten inches in length, slightly tapering. The
kernels are closely set together on the cob, of a light orange
color. The stalks usually grow six to eight feet in height, pro¬
ducing one or two good ears. Our seed of this variety has
been grown for us with special care, from the original stock.

IMPROVED LEAMING — (90 days). This is one of the
earliest large yellow Dent corns in cultivation, ripening in 90
to 100 days from planting. It is extra early and not a hard
flinty corn. The ears are large and handsome with deep, large
grains ; orange yellow color and red cob. Stalks medium size,

Cucumbers for Pickles and Salads

CULTURE — Cucumbers are planted in hills which, for best results, should be made as follows: Dig
holes about a foot in diameter. Fill these with thoroughly rotted manure lor compost, tramp down
tightly and soak with water. On top of this build a mound about four inches high of fine soil. These
hills can be made any time but the seeds should not be planted until the weather and soil have become
quite warm.

LONG WHITE SPINE

Plant about a dozen seeds in the top of each hill. Cover them about a half inch and press
the soil down firmly.

When the plants put forth the third pair of leaves thin out to the four strongest plants
to the hill. The hills should be about three feet apart. Keep the soil loose and free of weeds, but
after the plants have started to cover the ground do not move them.

One ounce will plant 50 hills, two pounds will plant an acre.

EARLY RUSSIAN — Extremely early and very productive. Good for
pickles and slicing for table use. Also where the season is short, this
variety will make good crop where others will not mature.

LONG WHITE SPINE — After years of experimenting we have
found this to be a reliable, all-purpose variety for market garden as
well as the home garden. It cannot fail to be profitable, whether
grown for early slicing or late pickling. The fruit when suitable to
ship, is six or seven inches in length, green to the tip and ends, solid,
crisp, and of excellent flavor.

EARLY CLUSTER — A very popular early cucumber producing its
fruijfc in clusters near the root of the plant. Its visual length is about
five inches ; skin prickly, flesh white, seedy, tender and well flavored.

BOSTON PICKKLING — A distinct variety which has obtained a
great degree of popularity on the market as a pickle. Meium long, a
great producer.

COOL AND CRISP — The peculiar feature of this variety is the
knobs or protuberances upon which the spines are placed are very
prominent, giving an attractive appearance. This variety is the earliest
and most prolific of all pickling cucumbers ; will become a standard sort.
Dark green, almost black.

EARLY WHITE SPINE— Vines vigorous, fruiting early and abund¬
antly ; fruit uniformly straight and handsome, dark green, with a few
white spines ; flesh tender and of excellent flavor. In this country this
variety is used more, perhaps, than any other for forcing under glass.

IMPROVED LONG GREEN — Unquestionably this is the most pop¬
ular general purpose cucumber in the West. When matured is nine to
twelve inches long, very solid and crisp ; retains its dark green color
until nearly ripe. One of the best for small pickling if picked promptly.

EARLY FORTUNE — Comparative tests with all other strains of

LETTUCE

CABBAGE OR HEADING VARIETIES. One ounce will produce about 3,000 plants. Postpaid.

There is so great difference in localities in regard to
culture of lettuce that it is hard to get a uniform rule.
For the ordinary house garden, it is desirable to use one
variety of each type, and several plantings should be made
to secure succession. The seed should be planted in rows
eighten inches apart, as early as possible, and the young
plants of cabbage head variety should be thinned until
four inches apart. Varieties that do not head may be left
quite thick, and when fairly well grown, those thinned
out may be used. Nitrate of soda, or some nitrogenous
fertilizer will pay if used after plants are set. A light,
warm rich, well watered soil is ideal as quick, rapid
growth is essential to crispness and flavor. One ounce
produces three thousand plants; for Head Lettuce sow
1 y2 to 2 pounds per acre; Loose Leaf varieties 3 to 4
pounds per acre.

CULTURE — Sow in the house or in frames any time after March 10th; if put outdoors, as early in
the spring as ground can be worked and at intervals of two weeks till June 1st. Soil should be a rich,
sandy loam with plenty of humus.

Sow early in the spring in rich, well prepared soil in rows eighteen
inches apart, covering one-half inch deep. When plants have two or
three leaves, thin to three or four inches apart. As the plants begin to
crowd thin and use as required.

NEW YORK OR WONDERFUL— This is now the most popular of
main crop head lettuces. The heads are very large, wonderfully solid,
crisp, tender, and free from bitterness. The heads frequently weigh
three pounds. They are very solid and of an attractive light . green
color. It is a sure heading variety and stands a long time in the
field. If you want fine head lettuce, either for market or home use,
try New York. Pkt., 10c ; oz., 20c ; lb., 75c ; 1 lb., $2.50.

EARLY PRIZE HEAD— It forms a mammoth head and remains
tender and crisp throughout £he season ; is prompt to head, but slow to
seed ; of superior flavor and very hard. The leaves are very large,
crimped, bright green tinged with brownish red on edge. Pkt., 6c ;

Sulphate of Ammonia Makes Your Lawn Grow

ONIONS

CULTURE — Soil for onions should be rich in humus and plant foot. Fresh stable manure
and barnyard litters are entirely out of place on the Onion field. They are usually loaded
with weed seeds and will interfere very much with tillage. Compost heaps will destroy the
weed seeds and put manure in such condition that they will readily mix with the soil. Man¬
ure from sheep sheds or pig pens applied with a spreader before the ground is plowed in the Fall
makes excellent fertilizer for onions because it is usually comparatively free from litter and foul
seeds.

YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS — A very excellent variety of globular shape, reliability for
bottoming and large yield are both combined in this popular sort. It is grown extensively for
market, and very popular. It is a handsome onion, quite thick, though of good size, with thin,

will be as sweet and tender as ever. A freeze is required to sweeten them.

CULTURE — They do best in deep rich soil, but will make good roots
on any soil which is deep and mellow and moderately rich. As the seed is
alow to germinate, it should be sown as early as possible; cover one-half
inch deep, and press the soil firmly over the seed; give frequent cultivation,
and thin the plants 6 to 8 to the foot. As they are improved by frost, a part
of the crop should be left in the ground for spring use. One ounce will sow
150 feet of drill, 5 pounds to an acre.

E A5== Early

In planting garden peas in the home garden, first prepare the soil the same as for other crops
then, scatter a little fertilizer where the row is to be planted, and rake this into the soil. Next stretch
a line and make a deep mark with the corner of the hoe. The bottom of this mark should be at
least two inches across so that the seed can be spread somewhat, and not crowded too closely to¬
gether. Scatter the seed in this furrow, ten seeds to the foot, then cover about one inch deep and
slightly firm the soil over the seed with the back of the hoe. About one week will generally elapse
before the sprout appears above the ground.

Peas (Continued)

MEDIUM AND LATE VARIETIES

EVERBEARING — -The vines attain a height of from eighteen to
two feet ; foliage large ; the pods will average four inches in length,
each pod producing six to eight wrinkled peas. The peas are very
large, being half an inch and over in diameter, and in quality un¬
surpassed. For a continuance in bearing this variety is unexcelled.

STRATEGEM — Seeds green ; wrinkled ; middle crop ; one of the
best peas ever sent out ; grows a vigorous and showy vine, of branch¬
ing habit ; heavily laden with immense pods containing ten to
twelve peas of large size ; a marvelous cropper and imcomparable
eating pea ; height, one and one-half feet.

TELEPHONE — This new variety is one of the finest Dwarf wrink¬
led, Dwarf vine-variety yet introduced. It is immensely productive of
the finest quality and of excellent sugary flavor ; vine very strong,
averaging eighteen to twenty pods per stalk : the pods are of large
fiize and closely packed with six or seven large, delicious peas, height,
about two feet.

DWARF GRAY SUGAR, Edible Pods — This is the most desirable
of all edible pod peas. It is a new variety, growing only 1 foot high,
and is remarkable for its prolific character. The seeds are large, shriv¬
eled and indented, of a dark brown color. The pods are flat and
crooked, and contain five or six peas. A very desirable acquisition.

DWARF GRAY SUGAR

American Wonder

ALASKA— A variety of remarkable earlines3 and hardiness. It is
a good yielder and produces pods of good size and dark, round smooth
peas of splendid flavor, green in color, pods are well filled ; height one
toot; the color of the dried pea is green; it ripens very evenly, so
that one picking will nearly clean off the crop.

AMERICAN WONDER — This pea is a hybrid of fixed habit, be¬
tween 'the Champion of England and the Little Gem ; it possesses the
merits of both, with some additional claims to notice. The vine grows
eight to ten inches high, and is very prolific in pods of striking form
and size. In maturity it is among the first earliest, ripening in about
fifty days from germination. It is among the first early of the green
wrinkled sorts. Its habit is so dwarf that it can be very successfully
grown under glass.

NOTT'S EXCELSIOR — Robust and vigorous in growth, inclined to
throw laterals from the base of the stock, producing in profusion
long, handsome pods closely packed with large peas of fine flavor. An
improvement of American Wonder, being more vigorous and prolific
with larger pods, more peas than either the Wonder or Premium Gem.
A decided acquisition and sure to be very popular when generally
known; height, 12 inches.

LITTLE GEM— A very desirable early dwarf, green wrinkled
variety; very popular and more prolific than the Little Gem.

GRADUS — The most attractive novelty of recent years ; large, hand¬
some pods resembling Telephone in size and shape, well filled with
large peas, ripening with the earli¬
est ; is certain to be eagerly sought.

Ripening veity quickly, the pods must
be picked as soon as fit for the
table. Habit vigorous, very quick to
germinate and push to maturity ;
foilage large, pale green in color;
pods long, straight .slightly round¬
ed at point. Seed large, wrinkled,
cream color.

Paint Your Lawn Green by Using Commercial Fertilizer

POTATOES

Write for Prices

For early potatoes, which mature in eight to ten weeks from planting, the soil must be particular¬
ly rich. A rich clover bed, manured and broken the year before and planted to corn, beans, peas, oats,
etc., is in the best shape for giving a good yield of nice, clean potatoes. Stable manure had better be
applied to the land the year before. Plant good sized pieces, each containing no less than two or
three eyes, fifteen inches apart in the furrows, for early potatoes, and eighteen inches apart for late

ones. Requires 700 to 800 pounds seed per acre.

Early Ohio

IRISH COBBLER — Irish Cobbler has been for some years
the most famous early potato in the East. In the potato sec¬
tions of Maine it has been more largely grown than all other

parlies and has been shipped from there in large quantities to
supply truckers of New Jersey and Virginia and other Atlantic
coast states. From these its popularity has extended through¬
out the whole of the United States.

IMPROVED EARLY OHIO — Early Ohio is without doubt
the most popular early potato in the country. We have more
calls for it always than for any other early. Everyone knows
what it is, and knows that it can be relied on for an early
market variety in almost every locality. A large percentage of
the so-called Ohios throughout the country, however, are badly
mixed and are run out. The worst of it is many farmers do
not seem to know that their seed is mixed. It is even very
common to find potatoes entered for exhibition at the fairs in
the fall as Early Ohios that are all mixed* up with Early Rose
or some other variety with smooth skin and pointed ends. A
typical Early Ohio should have blunt rounded ends, with the
cluster of eyes at the seed end right out flush with the surface.

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 whatever 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 wood¬
en 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 be¬
comes weaker the more it is used. This solution 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 rows
80 inches apart.

If potatoes follow alfalfa or Melilotus good yields can us¬
ually 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.

Large Connecticut Yellow Field

CULTURE — Pumpkins will grow on any good farm land, but their
size and quality will depend on the culture and fertility of the soil.
Plant early in May. Care should be taken to keep the different varie¬
ties well apart, also away from other vining plants as they mix and
deteriorate very rapidly.

White Icicle

CARPENTER’S RADISHES

For the best results the soil should be 'light, well pulverized, rich and
mellow to insure quick growing, supplying plenty of water. Radishes per¬
mitted to grow slowly become tough and pithy, light frosts will not kill young
plants, but will check the growth and they do best when kept growing right
along. For a succession sow I in every ten days. During the hot months of
summer, winter radishes will do better than the early sorts. Winter radishes
can be stored, same as potatoes, furnishing an acceptable relish through the
winter months.

There is no crop that will bring quicker returns for the market gardener.
The leading variety is “Sparkler;” or if you wish an all scarlet, use “Earliest.”
Our recommendations are Sparkler for early or succession; Icicle for second
early; and Celestial for winter use.

CULTURE— Do best in sandy loam of good fertility. The seed should be
sown just as early in the spring as possible in rows 12 to 18 inches apart. Rad¬
ishes must be given sufficient room to enable them to develop to full size with¬
out any check. It is, therefore, of great importance that they be thinned as
often as necessary. The small round varieties should be from 1 to 1 1-2 inches
apart and the long ones 2 to 3 inches apart.

EARLY LONG SCARLET TOP — Grows six to seven inches long,
half out of the ground ; is very brittle and crisp, and of quick growth ;
color, bright scarlet ; small top ; tapers regularly to the root and is
uniformly straight and smooth.

WHITE STRASBURG — The most valuable summer radish in cul¬
tivation ; flesh pure snow-white, tender and of a pleasant, pungent
taste, without being strong.

WHITE-TIPPED SCARLET — A handsome very bright scarlet on
top and shading to white on bottom ; crisp and fine and very popular
with Denver market gardeners ; used more generally than any other

kind.

EARLY SCARLET TURNIP — A small, round, turnip-shaped, with
small top, and of very quick growth.

FRENCH BREAKFAST — A medium-sized radish, olive-shaped,
small top, of quick growth, very crisp and tender, of a beautiful scar¬
let color. Pkt., 5c ; oz., 10c ; a/4 lb., 25c ; 1 lb., 80c ; postpaid.

Radishes (Continued)

Radish — Early Scarlet Turnip

NEW “ICICLE” — Entirely distinct, long,, slender, pure white; very
early ; mueh the earliest and finest long white. It is ready for us©
earlier than the Long Scarlet. Short Top, with less foliage, render¬
ing it most desirable for forcing. Roots pure snowy white, four inches
in length and half an inch in diameter; they retain their crispness
and fresh, mild flavor until fully six inches long and an inch in dia¬
meter.

WINTER CHINA ROSE — Roots cylindrical, or largest at the bot¬
tom, tapering abruptly to a small top; skin very smooth, and of a
bright rose color ; flesh as solid as an apple ; very good keeper.

WINTER BLACK ROUND SPANISH-One of the latest, as well
as the hardiest of radishes, and is considered an excellent sort for win¬
ter use ; roots turnip-shaped ; very large size and firm texture.

SPARKLER RADISH — A favorite for the Market Gardener. Color
Scarlet and White. Extremely quick to mature; being ready for the
table in twenty days from planting. Skin very smooth. Attains a
good size without getting pithy.

MIXED RADISHES- All kinds mixed together. Very desirable for
planting, being early, medium and late varieties gives you fresh radishes
continuously during the entire season.

ties the hills may be five feet apart but allow six to
eight feet for trailing varieties. Plant six or eight
seeds to the hill and thin to three plants when they
begin to vine.

WHITE BUSH SCALLOP — Earlier than any
other summer variety. The skin is white and ten¬
der when ready for use, dwarf in habit and very
productive.

\ ; &ARI.Y WHiTBBVSH SCALLOP SQUASH

MAMMOTH SUMMER CROOKNECK

— It is the best summer squash, and £«r
these reasons : It is twice as large as
the ordinary Summer Crookneck, far more
warty and several days earlier. The com¬
bination of earliness, large size and wart¬
iness, which adds so much to its attractive¬
ness, makes it altogether the most desirable
squash for the market or private garden.

S Q U A S H (Continued)

MAMMOTH CHILI — Although not new, we desire to call
the especial attention of all who want “mammoth squashes,”
to this variety. Size enormous, often weighing 300 pounds ;
very profitable for stock feeding, especially when root crops
are not grown extensively ; remarkably productive.

BANANA SQUASH — This is not a new variety, but is considered one of
the best winter varieties for home use, also excellent for feeding stock. Color
and shape similar to banana from whence it derives its name. Pkt., 5c; oz.,
10c; ^4 lb., 30c; lb., $1.00. Postpaid.

SIBLEY’S — One of the best shippers, owing to the hardi¬
ness of the shell. Flesh is solid and thick, a bright orange
color and of choice quality. Flavor rich and sweet, and it
ripens very early.

DELICIOUS — All agree that Delicious is the finest flavor¬
ed of all Squashes. Grows to weigh 5 to 10 pounds, and is in
its prime from early fall to mid-winter. Color a green shade
with some blue specimens.

GOLDEN HUBBARD — This is a very distinct sort of the
shape and general character of the Hubbard, but a little small¬
er ; earlier to mature and of rich orange red color, instead of
the dark olive green of the old Hubbard, while the flesh is a
little deeper colored and fully as good quality.

UTAH MAMMOTH FIELD — One of the largest Squashes grown. Single
specimens weighing 175 pounds. An immense yielder and very profitable for
feed. Matures early and should be extensively planted. Pkt., 5c ; % lb., 20c ;

1 lb., 60c. Postpaid.

See prices for Sibley’s, Delicious, Mammoth Chile, and Golden Hubbard on page 20.

SPINACH

One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill. Ten to twelve pounds for one acre.

Pkt., 6c ; oz., 10c ; % lb., 20c ; 1 lb., 60c. Postpaid.

CULTURE — For early spring use, sow seed in August, in very fertile soil rich in humus. Upon approach of cold weather,
cover the plants with three inches of straw. In the spring, when dry, remove the litter and the plants will be ready for use in a
short time. Sow the seed one inch deep in rows a foot apart. For a succession, sow again early in the spring and every two
weeks thereafter. Keep the surface soil cultivated lightly.

LONG STANDING — An improved strain of excellen merit,
having all the good qualities of the ordinary sorts ; what rend¬
ers it especially desirable is the fact that it is much later in
going to seed than any other variety. This valuable quality
will be appreciated.

BLOOMSDALE SAVOY-— -This variety most generally used
in the east and especially throughout the South for shipping.

Leaves large, round and thick, very much savoyed and rich
deep green. One of the earliest varieties. Seed round.

KING OF DENMARK — A new and very popular variety.
About as early as any and remaining in good condition from &
week to two weeks after other varieties have gone to seed. Th®
leaves are thick, stand well after cutting, and of a good quality.
Pkt, 5c ; Vt. lb., 20c ; 1 lb., 60.

TURNIPS

CULTURE— Turnips do best in highly enriched light sandy soil ; commence sowing the earliest varieties in April in drills
from 12 to 15 inches apart, and thin out early to six or nine inches in rows. For a succession sow at intervals of a fortnight
until the last week in July, from which time until the end of August sowing may be made for the fall and main crop. On©
ounce will sow 150 feet of drill; one and one-half pounds to the acre.

Early White Egg

There is usually plenty of room in the garden during the fall months. Utilize this space by sowing
Turnips. They are very easily stored and a nice supply of Turnips in the cellar or in the pit will help
out mightily on the winter food bill.

Turnips also make excellent stock feed for fall and winter use. They are much liked by all stock
and the feeding of turnips or rutabagas keeps themi in good condition. We earnestly recommend far¬
mers to sow turnips and rutabegas for this purpose. We know it is profitable.

GOLDEN BALL — Undoubtedly among the most delicate and sweetest yellow-fleshed turnips yet
introduced. Not of large size, but firm, hard and one of most excellent flavor. Keeps well, and is
superior in its table qualities. Pkt., 5c ; oz., 10c ; hi lb., 25c ; 1 lb., 90c.

PURPLE-TOP YELLOW RUTABAGA — The best variety of Sweedish turnip in cultivation. IIax*dy
and productive ; flesh yellow, of solid texture, sweet and well flavored ; shape slightly oblong ; termi¬
nates abruptly with no side or bottom roots; color deep green, with little or no neck.

EARLY SNOWBALL — Is medium sized, pure white and early, of excellent quality. In our mar¬
ket is much admired.

EARLY WHITE EGG — A quick-growing egg-shaped, perfectly smooth, pure white variety, grow¬
ing half out of the ground, with small top and rough leaves. Its smooth, white skin and quick growth
make it particularly adapted for market purposes. The flesh is very sweet, firm and mild, never hav¬
ing the rank, strong taste of some varieties. .

EXTRA EARLY PURPLE TOP MILAN — The earliest in cultivation. The bulb is very flat, of
medium size, quite smooth, with bright purple top ; leaves few, short and light of color, growing very
compact, and making an exceedingly small and neat top. The pure white flesh is of the choicest quality,
hard, solid and fine-grained. It is an excellent keeper. Oz., 10c ; % lb., 35c ; 1 lb., $1.00.

PURPLE TOP (Strap Leaved) — The standard of this part of the country. Superior for early or
late planting. Round, flat, good sized, small top with but few leaves ; flesh very fine grained ; flavor
good. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; ^4 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 90c.

TOMATOES

Postpaid.

Tomatoes are an ideal home garden crop, thriving in a clay soil none too fertile and yielding heav¬
ily in small space. They should be started indoors and those unable to do this should purchase
plants. The plants may be set in the garden when danger of frost is over. It is important to give
them a quick start after transplanting by frequent watering and fertilizing. They should be spray¬
ed with bordeaux mixture to prevent disease, and with arsenate of lead to keep off the tomato worm;
and Pyrox furnishes a combination spray which will accomplish both purposes. Hot sun is needed to
ripen tomatoes and plenty of water to keep them growing. If trained to stakes or trellises they will
ripen sooner, though satisfactory crops are produced by allowing the vines to lie on the ground.

CULTURE— -It is easy to grow tomatoes but as they require a long season it is best to start the plants in a green-house,
hot bed or in the house. A cigar box kept in a sunny kitchen window will do. Sow the seeds one-eighth to a quarter of an inch
deep and keep the soil moist. As soon as the seedlings make a second pair of leaves transplant to another box or flat, keeping
the plants four inches apart. When all danger of frost is over set the plants out in the garden.

NEW STONE — We call this king of the Livingstone kinds, which
are the best types of large, smooth, solid “beefy” tomatoes ; ripening
evenly to the stem without a crack ; exceedingly solid and firm-flesh¬
ed (as its name indicates) ; is an excellent shipper ; quality the very
best. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; *4 lb., 75c; 1 lb., $2.75.

a success all over the country. It is smooth, very even in size, very
solid and also very prolific. Pkt., 5c ; oz., 20c ; lb., 75c ; 1 lb., $2.75.

“JOHN BAER” TOMATO — An early variety very much resembling
Chalk Jewel but said to be two weeks earlier. Yields wonderful crops.
Free from blight and rot. Bright red and good flavor. Give them a
trial. Per pkt., 5c ; oz., 20c ; *4 lb., 75c ; 1 lb., $2.75.

GREATER BALTIMORE — This great tomato is well named. The
color is a rich, cardinal red. The skin is so tough that it is a splendid
shipper and keeper and is less liable to crack in wet weather than any
other large tomato. Unsurpassed for market or for table use. The
plant is a strong grower, and is very productive, bearing with un¬
diminished vigor until frost. The fruit is free from core and the seed
spaces are comparatvely small. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; ^4 lb., 75c; lb.,
$2.75.

EARLIANA TOMATO — Produces fruit earlier than any other

variety. The quality is good, of large, uniform size, red color. Is
very solid. Every gardener will make good profit on early tomatoes
EARLIANA when raising Earliana. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; *4 lb., 75c; 1 lb., $2.50.

WATERMELON

CU1/TURE — The soil for Watermelons must be light, Fich and sandy, for if grown on a heavy soil
the quality will be poor and they will not be so early. When there is no more danger of frost, drop
8 to 10 seeds in a hill 8 to 10 feet apart each way, cover three-fourths inches deep. As soon as plants
commence to run, thin out to 3 best plants in a hill and cultivate until the vines cover the whole
ground. If slow to fruit pinch off the ends of the growing shoots. Ashes or air-slacked lime sifted on
the young plants while dew is on is good to keep the insects out. One ounce will plant about 130
hills, and it takes 4 to 5 pounds to one acre. Ready for use in 60 to 90 days.

The formula for Whizz Fertilizer has been
carefully worked out by our leading western soil
experts and is expecially adapted to soils of all
textures and crops of our western soils. It is of
inestimable value for truck gardens, lawns,
flowers, berries of all kinds, and fruit trees. It
not only contains the chemical elements so essen¬
tial, but these are combined with organic humus
materials in such a manner as to insure their be¬
ing properly assimilated and taken up by the
plant.

In the application of Whizz Fertilizer the soil
is enriched not alone by the plant food contained
in the fertilizer itself, but also by its action on the
plant food elements already in the soil heretofore

insoluble but now respond to the action of Whizz
and the two make the most complete and valuable
fertilizer obtainable.

For lawns sow braodcast as you would seed,
when lawn is dry; then sprinkle with water. There
is no unsighly and disagreeable mess as when the
lawn is covered with barnyard manure.

Prices 25 lbs., $1.00; $3.50 per 100 lbs.; F.
O. B. Provo. For ton lots, write for prices.

For House Plants in Pots.

Dissolve 1 teaspoonful in one gallon of water.
Water the soil (not the plant) in the pot with this
solution once a month. A stronger solution may
burn the plant. One gallon of solution is enough
for 10 eight-inch pots.

CARPENTER’S FLOWER SEEDS

To have a beautiful flower garden, one must take pleasure in working and caring for the plants when young. It
ceased to be a necessity to keep such large stocks of bedding and other tender plants under glass through the winter, there¬
by saving the expense of glass, fuel, labor, etc.

The general rules for sowing Flower Seeds, as well as any other seeds, is to sow them at the proper depth ; and the depth
at which they are sown in every instance be governed by the size of the seed itself. As the sprouts of small seeds are natural¬
ly small, if sown as deep as large seeds, they will be either unusually long in starting or more likely perish in the ground.

Another object to be considered is the soil into which the flower seeds are to be sown. The soil best adapted for flowering
plants generally is a light, friable loam, containing a sufficient amount of sand to render it porous. A great many varieties
will live in almost any kind of soil, except it be extremely dry, calcareous, or of a stiff heavy character ; still to give them a
fair chance for development, some little pains should be taken in adding to the soil as much as possible, what may be wanting
in it Deep digging and enriching with thoroughly decayed manure is the least that should be done. If the weather, after
sowing, should be dry, it will be necesasry to water the places where the seeds are sown with a fine rose watering pot regularly,
but slightly, every evening, as it is essential that the seeds during their process of germination should be kept constantly
moist. From a neglect or oversight of this arise most of the failures. As the process of germination is often slow, the prac-
tience is sorely tired. We can assure our customers that there is no better flower seeds and bulbes offered by any seed
house in America.

Cosmos

COSMOS — Are unquestionably very handsome flowers, and
it is astonishing how quickly they become general favorites.
Only a few years ago they were practically unknown. There is

is their late flowering habit. The plants require a very long
time to develop, and that brings their flowering seasons late
in the fall. This objection will not be found in our “early
flowering” strain. Seed sown in the open ground in the begin¬
ning of May will produce blooming plants in August, and they
will continue to flower late in the fall. We know of no single
flower that is as handsome and chaste as the Cosmos, while
for keeping qualities they are unexcelled.

CULTURE — Dahlias are not particular as to the soil or location, although maximum growth and
bloom reward the full sun, some of the stronger sorts develop most perfect specimens in partial shade.
Prepare the soil thoroughly by digging. Be moderate in the use of both manure and water. Never
plant when soil is wet. Lay tuber on side, eye up, four inches deep, pressing soil firmly on tuber.
Keep soil loose and mellow by frequent hoeing, drawing the soil to a slight hillock around the plant.

We have divided the flower seed in this catalog into three classes: Annuals, those flowers which bloom from seed
the first year and die. Biennials, which have to be planted from seed one year, blooming the second year, and Peren¬
nials, which in most cases will bloom from seed the first year if planted very early.

AN UNOBSTRUCTED LAWN

EXTRA FINE LAWN GRASS — The essen¬
tials for a fine lawn are: First, a rich, well drain¬
ed soil; second, careful preparations of the
ground making it as fine and smooth and mellow

fourth, sowing at such a time as to give the young
plants a chance to become well established before
being submitted to very dry or cold weather or to
the direct rays of the hot summer sun. We secure
the best selections and think our Central Park

Automatic Oil Brooder

Moe’s Automatic Brooder, with Thermostatic Control, uses Kerosene as fuel, and gives a steady,
even warmth without fumes or gases. Has a new and improved wickless blue flame burner, with per¬
fect combustion, and a cold air chamber around the burner prevents overheating.

The Oil Reservoir is of heavy glass, capacity one gallon of Kerosene or Coal Oil, which will run
the brooder for twenty-four hours or longer without refilling. Can be filled without extinguishing
the burner.

The Twin Thermostats automatically control the flow of the oil by raising or lowering the burner
to a point above or below the oil in the reservoir. Also has a simple hand lever for adjusting the reg¬
ulation. The fuel feed pipe is protected by a metal housing through which it passes, connecting the
burner with the oil reservoir.

The oil feeds from the reservoir into a concave pan attached to the feed pipe. A correct oil level
is maintained in this pan at all times, thus insuring a proper regular flow of oil to the burner.

The Canopy is made of heavy galvanized iron, in sections knocked down, to sae freight, and is
easily put together. The two larger sizes have insulated tops to better retain the heat. A thoroughly
reliable and efficient brooder, with no complicated parts, is easily adjusted to any desired temperature,
and automatically maintains this temperature at all times. Full directions with each Brooder.

Commercial Fertilizer

SULPHATE OF AMMONIA
A Specially Prepared Lawn and Home
Garden Fertilizer

All growing plants need nitrogen. Sulphate
of Ammonia is the fertilizer which supplies the
necessary nitrogen in a soluble quick-acting form.
It contains 20 3-4 per cent nitrogen.

Applied according to directions, it will aid the
growth of grass, tend to eliminate weeds and make
a beautiful velvety lawn. Futhermore, it will in¬
vigorate growing plants and flowers, producing a
bountiful yield of crisp, tender vegetables and a
profusion of blooms in the home garden. It is also
an excellent fertilizer for shrubs, fruit and shade
trees.

For the Lawn

Scatter evenly any time during the growing
season, when the grass is dry, then sprinkle the
lawn thoroughly with water. For best results ap¬
ply in the Spring when growth starts. Repeat in
one month and again in early Fall.

Do not exceed the quantities given below:

10 lbs. covers 2500 sq. ft. or 50 ft. x 50 ft.

Do not exceed quantities giv^n below:

Garden 40 feet x 60 feet needs about 10 lbs.

A 90 foot row needs about 1 lb.

For plants grown in hills like melons, squash¬
es, etc. scatter two teaspoonfuls over a space two
feet square across each hill. Mix with the soil if
applied before planting the seeds.

Solution: Dissolve one tablespoonful of

Sulphate of Ammonia in one gallon of cold water.
When setting plants, set the plant in the bottom
of the hole with a little soil, pour in half a cup of
solution then fill the hole with soil.

For Shade Trees and Fruit Trees
Scatter 1 to 10 pounds over a circular area
under the tree beginning about a foot from the
trunk and extending several feet beyond the ring
formed by the outer drip from the branches. If
the trees are in a lawn, apply Sulphate only when
the grass is dry (to avoid burning the lawn) then
sprinkle with water.

1 lb. for a tree whose trunk is 2 in. across

2 lbs. for a tree whose trunk is 4 in. across

4 lbs. for a tree whose trunk is 8 in. across

6 lbs. for a tree whose trunk is 12 in. across

10 lbs. for a tree whose trunk is 20 in. across

Now It Is Easy to Get Lots of Winter Ejjgjs

Glass

Cloth

Hens are big money makers in winter if you put them behind GLASS CLOTH windows. This
amazing material lets in the sun’s ultra-violet rays. Ordinary glass shuts them out. Science says
hens will not lay without these rays. GLASS CLOTH scatters the light iover the whole hen house.
The hens pep up, scratch and exercise. Egg paralysis disappears. The egg glands start working.
The hens lay like it was spring. It is common for 400 hens to lay $1000 worth of eggs during the
winter. Profit like that is not to be overlooked. It costs only $5.00 for enough GLASS CLOTH for
windows for a big poultry house. The profits are amazing. Never has GLASS CLOTH failed to in¬
crease egg yields. Ultra-violet rays are nature’s own egg producers. GLASS CLOTH simply makes
it easy to give hens a big supply of these rays.
