For profitable results, Agricultural Colleges advise inoculation for all legume seed, because it pays well in producing larger quality yields. NITRAGIN inoculated legumes draw their nitro¬ gen from the air— not the soil— with billions of fresh, nitrogen- gathering germs. NITRAGIN leads in high GERM COUNT.

Is fresh each year — it’s DATED. Costs less than others.

Suggestions

A reading of the following will prove an aid to you and to us:

OUR PRICES — Including bags, boxes, and free cartage to the depot.

The prices quoted in this catalog include free delivery on packets, ounces, quarter pounds, pounds (except where otherwise stated). “By freight or express” means that transportation charges are paid by the customer.

EARLY ORDERS — Our rush season comes in the months of March and April. Orders sent at once secure prompt shipment from our full stock.

HOW TO ORDER — Write your name, postoffice, State, and Express Office plainly with black ink on every order and every time you write us. Give plain express, mail, or freight directions. Where none are given, we route at buyer’s risk.

MARKET GARDENERS and others who buy vegetable seed in bulk to the amount of $10.00 or more are requested to send their list of seeds wanted to us and let us make special quotations.

PLANT ORDERS — Orders for plants will be filled as early in the spring as we consider it safe to send them. If ordered for immediate ship¬ ment in severe weather, they will be sent at purchaser’s risk.

for Ordering

USE ORDER SHEETS — The use of order sheets enclosed in this catalog is a great help to us in facilitating filling and shipment of orders. More will be sent on receipt of postal asking for same.

ABOUT WARRANTING SEEDS— It is imprac¬ tical to guarantee seeds, as the best seeds will fail under improper treatment. Some may be sown in too dry ground or too wet, too deep, or too shallow. Some hardy seeds will stand cold weather and will grow where the soil is too cold for others and would cause them to decay. In¬ sects may attack and destroy them. For these reasons we do not give warranty in any respect, and will not be responsible for the crop.

How often have we observed some one of ad¬ vertising “Northern Grown Seeds”? To infer that only “Northern Grown” seeds are safe to plant, is misleading, to say the least.

The fact of the matter is, Garden and Flower Seeds are grown in all parts of the globe. De¬ pending on where one resides, of course, some are southern grown, others northern, eastern or western. All our seeds are grown in that part of the world where most adapted.

Market Gardeners, Truck-Growers, Large Farmers, Attention!

We urge that you go over the Catalog carefully, make up a list of seeds you need and send to us for prices.

Our years of experience in the seed business have put us in close touch with the grow¬ er, and understanding the soil and climate of this section puts us in a much better position to serve you than any outside concern.

We carry a complete line of selected and tested seeds, and can supply your wants, qual¬ ity considered, at as reasonable prices as any other seed house.

We are here to serve you, and hope you will not hesitate to call upon us.

Tested Garden Seeds

Asparagus

Asparagus is one of the first vegetables in spring, as well as one of the best grown in the garden. It is perfectly hardy, grows year after year from the same roots and never fails to produce a crop. Asparagus does well on any well-drained soil, but the best results are obtained from rich, deep, loamy soil.

WASHINGTON — Rust-Resistant Asparagus. Practically free from rust and other diseases. Stalks are large and thick; dark green with a heavy overcast of rich purple. Has a long tight, pointed bud and does not branch out until well beyond the market height. Unsurpassed in size, yield, appearance and flavor. Seed pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 35c.

Asparagus Roots

For those who desire to raise asparagus, one of the earliest of the spring vegetables, we suggest the purchase of asparagus roots. These are ready during March, but to be sure of getting them you should reserve your stock now by sending us your order.

Our strong two-year-old roots will give the best results in the shortest time possible.

ROOTS — 2 year old per dozen, 45c, postpaid; by freight or express, $1.75 per 100.

Giant Stringless Green Pod

Locust Grove. Okla., 9-11-29. Gentlemen : I would like your prices on Seeds and Onion Sets for 2930 delivery. I am in receipt of some prices, but would rather buy close to home. I have used your seeds for 3 years* and had no complaint. Hoping for a reply soon. Tours trulv. W. P. CHAPMAN, Merchant.

Garden Beans

Selected Northern Grown

Given moisture, this crop can be planted in the South in succession until the middle of August. A good, sandy loam is the best soil for beans, but they will grow well in any soil of average richness.

The bush varieties should be planted IV2 inches deep in drills 18 inches or 2 feet apart, 2 inches apart in the drill. When the plants are well up, thin gradually to six or eight inches from each other, leaving the strong¬ est plants as much as possible. The pole variety should be planted two or three beans in a hill, two feet apart each way. Give them clean cultivation, mellowing the soil about them, but not going too deep, hilling broad and flat about the time they are to bear. Do not hoe them when wet from dew or rain, as this induces rust of leaves or pods.

A pound will plant 100 feet of drill; 2 bushels, or 120 lbs. to the acre in drills. For a larger yield of Beans, use Nitragin. (See Inside Front Cover).

TENNESSEE GREEN POD— This dwarf, early, inter¬ mediate snap bean is very popular in some sections of the South. The vines are large, somewhat spreading, and prolific. The pods are very long — very often 6 to 7 inches, flat, irregular in shape, bright but rather dark green, and of excellent quality. Pkt. 10c; lb. 45c, post¬ paid. By express, lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.50.

GIANT STRINGLESS GREEN POD— This is a great im¬ provement on the old-time popular favorite Valentine Bean. The pods are fully one-third longer, averaging 5 and 6 inches in length; absolutely stringless, very crisp, round, full and fleshy. It is enormously produc¬ tive, its handsome pods being ready for market a few days earlier than the old Valentine. Pkt. 10c; lb. 45c, postpaid. By freight or express, lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.50.

Pole or Running Beans

A word about Pole Beans. Many growers hesitate to plant pole beans because of the scarcity of poles. This objection is easily overcome and the greater profit in growing the pole varieties should be suffi¬ cient reason for going to a little extra care. Plaster laths will answer the purpose and cost very little.

Watermelons

Our watermelon seed is grown especially for us in the South and selected from the very best melons. South¬ ern-grown watermelon seed is always the best and the quality of the melons the very highest, as has been proven. A trial order will convince you our seed is first-class in every respect.

All through this part of the Arkansas River Valley last summer the roads were lined for miles with Water¬ melons at almost every farmer’s gate, which were in great demand by automobile parties, who often made special trips form the cities to buy the fresh country melons. It is mighty good business training to teach the farm youth the value of a dollar and how to get it, by allowing him a space in the field in which to grow melons and establish him by the side of the road in front of his house with a pile of melons of his own raising to sell to the city automobile parties.

HALBERT’S HONEY — A Texas melon which closely re¬ sembles Kleckley’s Sweet, but darker color and even and regular in shape. Cannot be shipped a great dis¬ tance, as the rind is very brittle, but it is unsurpassed for home market and family use. It grows from 15 to 30 inches long, is dark green, slightly ridged, and blunt at the blossom end. The meat is as sweet as honey, melting, and leaves no trace of pulp.

The size is uniformly large. Color of rind, yellowish grey, and almost as tough as that of the citron, ripens earlier than Tom Watson, and will keep in good condition for a long time after picking and stand long distance shipping better than any other melon. Another important feature, the melon will not sunburn and will keep in good condition for several days in the sun after becoming ripe, while all dark melons will blister yellow on the top, which renders it unsalable.

Perfection Brand Onion Seed

One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill, 4 pounds will sow an acre. We pride ourselves on selling the very best onion seed that can be produced, and are now supplying some of the largest onion-growers in the country. By sowing our seed, large onions can be produced direct from the seed.

CULTURE — Sow in the early spring, in moist soil, as soon as the weather will permit, in rows 12 inches apart, and cover half inch deep. If the onions grow too thick, thin to 1 inch apart, or only a very few onions will be the result. Manure highly (twenty loads to the acre being used by many market gardeners with profit), and if manure is not plentiful, some good phosphate, at the rate of 400 to 800 pounds per acre will give good results. A top dressing of wood ashes, applied after the second weeding, is very beneficial.

SOIL — Onions need rich loam, with a slight mixture of clay, manuring for two years previous.

MANURING — A liberal use of manure is essential and it should be of the best quality, well fermented, and shoveled over at least twice the previous summer to kill the weeds.

GIANT YELLOW PRIZETAKER— The American-grown Giant Yellow Prizetaker is far the handsomest, most productive, most popular, and best of the yellow skin onions.

Requires a deep, rich soil and the whole season to mature in. Plant seed about 1 inch deep in drills 12 inches apart, later thin out young plants to 4 or 5 inches. One oz. will plant 70 feet of drill. Roots may be dug and stored in fall or left in ground over winter.

A spring plant used for greens. Very hardy and most in demand in early spring and late fall. Leaves are large, rich and tender. Very easy culture and grows best in cool weather.

Remember, there is no order, small or large, that is not welcome.

Squash

Squashes require a warm, fertile soil of sandy nature for best growth. Summer squashes grow mostly in compact bush form : hills for these should be about 4 feet apart ; for long trailing fall and winter varieties hills should be 8 to 12 feet apart each way.

Irish Cobbler

Selected Irish Potatoes

Northern Grown

On account of market fluctuations, we are unable to name exact prices. We will be pleased to have you write during the month of January or later and we will then quote prices for prompt or future shipment.

Diseases and failures in obtaining a profitable crop of po¬ tatoes are attributable chiefly to carelessness in planting poor unselected seed. The average farmer usually pays less attention to the quality of his seed potatoes than any other seed he plants. He seems to think that any old kind of potato he happens to have on hand will do for seed, then wonders why his crop was a failure or the potatoes so poor and scrubby. Yet they will con¬ tinue to plant this stock year after year rather than pay a fair price for some good, carefully selected seed stock that would produce more and better crop.

Our Certified Seed Potatoes were grown in the Red River Valley of Minnesota and North Dakota and are strictly fancy stock. Should not be compared to average stock as offered by grocers and commission houses.

TRIUMPH — Very early. Tubers are of medium size, round and uniform in shape with but few small ones; eyes slightly depressed; color a beautiful light red. Its beauty, productiveness and fine quality make it one of the best extra early market varieties, especially for the South.

EARLY OHIO — Our stock of this variety is grown in the Red River Valley of the North.

IRISH COBBLER — A variety which in recent years has attained popularity. In many soils is as early or within a few days as early as Early Ohio, and the yield is su¬ perior. Added to this last the potato is chunky, white in color and of large medium size, making it the most at¬ tractive variety by far on the early market.

Tomatoes

Everyone likes a good Tomato and every garden should have at least a dozen hills of Tomatoes. They may take a little more work than some other vegetables, but the occasional hoeing needed is well repaid by the con¬ stant supply of delicious fresh fruit all summer long. When the first frost comes in the fall, there are usually a number of green tomatoes left on the vines, these make an excellent pickle which will be relished the whole winter. We pay special attention to raising tomato plants for the home garden.

SPARKS’ EARLIANA — Coming into the market before any other sort, it commands top prices. The fruits are solid, uniform in shape, and of a rich bright-red color. The tomatoes are produced in clusters, and generally can all be gathered in about three weeks from the time the first fruits ripen. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; Va lb. 70c; lb. $2.50, postpaid.

JUNE PINK — In habit and growth it is similar to Earliana. The plant is neat and compact, branching freely, with fruits ranging in clusters of 6 to 10. The fruits are of medium size and uni¬ form, smooth, and of attractive shape, without cracks or any green core. This is an excellent shipping tomato as the skin is very tough. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; Va lb. $1.50; lb. $4.50, postpaid.

CHALK’S EARLY JEWEL — One of the best early tomatoes yet introduced. The Vines are vigorous and very productive.

CULTURE — The seed should be sown as early as possible after all danger of frosts is over. A good plan is to burn a quantity of rub¬ bish and brush in the spring on the ground where the crop is to be grown, then dig and thoroughly pulverize the earth and mix with the ashes, after which the seed may be sown and covered very lightly. When the plants are about 6 inches high transplant into rows 4 or 5 feet apart each way; cultivate thoroughly with plow and hoe.

Sweet Peas

Sweet Peas are more than flowers, they are a necessity for every garden.. They lend them¬ selves readily and easily to beautifying schemes of the city and country farmer.

LOCATION. Any location will be suitable that is well drained and that will get free circulation of air. Early planting is essential with sweet peas in order to give the roots a chance to develop more rapidly than the tops during the cool weather. Early plantings produce blossoms before the intense heat of the summer comes which is likely to wilt the plants if they do not have well developed roots. Sowings should be made in fur¬ rows 12 inches deep and the seed covered with an inch of soil and the trench filled in as the plants grow. It is a help to soak the seeds in luke warm water over night before sowing. Use one ounce to twelve feet of row.

SPENCER SWEET PEAS — Because of such unusual size, waved or fluted appearance and charming blendings of har¬ monious colors.

Here is the secret. Science has produced a tablet that is rich in plant food con¬ taining 11 percent Nitrogen, 12 percent Phosphoric Acid and 15 percent Potash, and it is odorless and clean. Compare this analysis with that of any other fertilizer.

It is not applied broadcast but is put at the feeder roots of the individual plants, so there is no waste and you feed the plants that need it. It produces no weeds like ordinary stable manure so it economizes in labor.

These tablets are the last word in modern garden efficiency — a proven success with rose growers, nurserymen, landscape gardeners, strawberry growers and market gardeners.

Selected Gladioli Bulbs

Plant in the spring when all danger of frost is over, riant bulbs four to eight inches apart in the row and from three inches deep in heavy soil, to 5 inches deep in lighter, sandy soil ; the deeper planting will help to keep the plants from falling over at blooming time. Keep soil well worked ; keep soil crust from forming in the rows after rains or other watering. Nitrate of Soda (a tablespoonful to two gallons of water to twenty five plants) once a week after plants break into bud is highly recom¬ mended. Our bulbs are grown in Iowa where the soil and cli¬ mate are especially adapted to producing strong, healthy bulbs.

PERFECTO FLOWER BOX

DESCRIPTION

The PERFECTO FLOWER BOX is recognized by scientific gardeners and florists as the correct idea in construction tor growing house plants and porch plants. The problem is solved by means of the patented self-irrigating and air-cir¬ culating system.

Water is poured in either end and quickly seeks the level of the connecting troughs and soaks into the earth at the roots of the plants where you want it.

The drainage plug in the end is removable, to be taken out only when the box is in the open or accessible to rainfall.

The material used in construction is coppered-steel, with a lead coat, which will neither rust nor deteriorate like plain galvanized iron and is the best material procurable for a long-life flower box to be continually under moisture. Green red or ivory finish.

Terogen

Autumn-Winter Ground Dressing and Soil Disinfectant

A unique Soil Disinfectant — Fungicide, Insecticide and Fertilizer.

To get better roses next season you should use TEROGEN this Fall. Dress the soil with TEROGEN just before covering your roses for the Winter.

TEROGEN will destroy the spores of fungi of most diseases that have fallen to the ground. It will kill the larvae of most insects, preventing these pests from hibernating and beginning their renewed attacks in the Spring. It is es¬ pecially efficacious in destroying larvae of the rose pith borer, rose bugs, most beetles, if present, aphids, commonly called plant lice, buried in the soil by ants, as well as the ants themselves. TEROGEN is particularly valuable because of its great power in destroying larvae and eggs of most pests before they become mature and can attack.

TEROGEN also acts as a valuable fertilizer, benefiting the plants the coming season.

TEROGEN will supply the means for the foliage to take on the proper amount of Chlorophyll, the green col¬ oring matter, of vital importance to healthy plant life.

TEROGEN applied to your rose beds just before covering for the Winter and again in February will prevent the dread disease known as chlorosis, the turning of the foliage to a sickly yellow and consequently dropping off. It is also effective as a soil disinfectant if used in Summer and Autumn months to kill spores of many diseases that have fallen to the ground, including Mildew, Blaokspot, Rust and Canker. TEROGEN imparts that deep dark green color to foliage and gives them that heavy leathery substance which rose lovers are so eager to secure. 1-lb. tins 75c; 2-lb. tins $1.25; 5-lb. tins $2.75.

Dwarf Essex Rape

Sow 5 to 7 pounds per acre. As a healthy fattening food it has no equal. It stands without a rival in point of cheapness and feeding qualities. It is an annual, bearing a close re¬ semblance in leaf and stalk to the rutabaga, but both leaves and stalks are more numerous in the rape plant and of a taller habit of growth. Dwarf Essex rape thrives best on a good soil rich in vegetable matter. Slough lands are excellent. It is the simplest crop grown. It can be sown anywhere and everywhere and at all times after danger of frost has passed.

It may be sown in early spring to provide summer pasture for stock. Plow the ground same as for turnips, and sow 5 pounds per acre broadcast.

Special prices on large quantities. Lb. 25c, postpaid. By freight or express, lb. 20c; 10 lbs. $1.40.

Soy Beans

Soy beans are very erect, growing with from one to six stems or more, branching out from the roots, and reaching a height of iy2 to 3% feet; seldom falling down, except in very rich, loose soil. Soy beans are a remarkable drouth-resister, and will do comparatively well on thin land, however, they respond very readily to moisture and rich land. Planting should not be done until the weather is warm and after the corn-planting.

LAREDO SOY BEANS — The seed is very small, flat in shape and black in color. As a soil builder it is unequalled. The quality of hay in feeding value is fully equal to Alfalfa. On reasonably fair land it will produce from 15 to 20 bushels of seed per acre and 2 to 3 ton of hay. Price per pound, postpaid, 30c. Write for quantity prices.

VIRGINIA — About 20 days earlier than the Mam Yellow or Laredo. The vines make a fine growth, are filled with pods, stand about 3 feet high, are easy to cut and easy to cure. The best Soy Bean for Oklahoma and recom¬ mended by Extension Department and County Agents. Lb. 20c; pk. $1.50, postpaid. Write for bushel prices for shipment by freight or express.

Field or Cow Peas

The Great Soil Improver — Makes poor land rich ; makes good land nore productive; also makes a splendid and nutritious green forage or hay crop, enriching the soil even when the crop is cut off. Cow peas make one of the largest yielding and most nutritious crops grown. There is also no surer or cheaper means of improving and increasing the productiveness of the soil and it is really considered more economical and the best way to cut off the crop of vines and cure them as a forage or hay crop and then turn under the stubble and roots. Even when the crop is cut off, the land is left in very much better mechanical condition and the productiveness very much increased over what it was before the crop was grown.

CREAM CROWDER PEAS — It is not only one of the earliest to mature, but also makes a large and vigorous growth, and is one of the most prolific and best for edible peas, both for home use and market. The size of the pea is large and they are of most delicious flavor when cooked, and preferable for table use to other varieties. This also makes a quantity of vine. Price, lb. 30c, postpaid.

BLACK-EYED PEAS — A very fine table pea much in demand by market gardeners. Pods are of good size and the peas are crowded in the pod. Ask for prices.

NEW ERA — Probably the best sort for the West and North; can be sown after the wheat is taken off the ground and still produce a good crop of forage peas? besides increasing the fertility of the soil for the succeeding crop, and leav¬ ing the ground mellow and free from weeds. Ask for prices.

WHIPPOORWILL PEAS — A favorite in Oklahoma, Texas and in the South generally. A vigorous, healthy grower, yielding an abundant crop of forage and grain. Write for prices.

Vetches

SAND VETCH — (Also called Winter and Hairy Vetch) — This legume is the farmer’s ever ready friend. Sand vetch is a very valuable forage plant, and is rapidly becoming popular as year after year farmers are learning more of its value. It is an annual, but re¬ sows itself, and will come up year after year on the

same ground. Vetch is a legume, belonging to the

pea family, but the vines are much longer and the foliage more abundant. It is noted for its extreme hardiness, wintering more certainly than wheat. It remains green all winter under the snow, and is ready for pasturing earlier than anything else. Drouth, heat and cold do not affect it. It is largely eaten by all kinds of stock. We earnestly recom¬ mend farmers to try it. Write us freely for any in¬

formation you may require.

Mung Beans

Mung Beans bid fair to outrival anything yet discov¬ ered as a hay, forage and soil improving crop. Mung Beans are drouth resistant and have made wonderful crops of hay and forage where cow peas and soy beans have been killed off completely by the blistering and withering heat of an extended summer’s drouth.

Mung Beans mature about fifteen days earlier than soy beans and cow peas and invariably have produced larger tonnage of hay and forage as well as large pro¬ duction of beans. Grows 4 to 6 feet tall and is one of the finest soil improvers discovered. 2 lbs. of Mung Beans will produce about 2 tons of cured hay. Re¬ quires about 4 lbs. per acre. Plant in rows about 3 Vz feet apart and 2 to 4 inches apart in the rows.

Trial packet, 10c; lb. 40c; 5 lbs. $1.75, postpaid. Larger quantities write for prices.

Speckled Velvet Bean

The new 100 day speckled bean originated in South Alabama. It is exceedingly hardy, which is a most de¬ sirable feature in the early, maturing soils, the pods staying in the field in good condition all winter, where they are used as pasturage for cattle and hogs.

It can be planted in rows with corn without injury to the latter, 5 or 6 feet apart in drills. When planted this way it invariably produces twice as much grain per acre as corn — of a higher analysis, to say nothing of the fertility it adds to the soil. Velvet beans are considered by many as one of the best legumes. They may be successfully grown on almost any soil.

Sunflower

MAMMOTH RUSSIAN — Produces very large heads, which are completely filled with the striped grains. It succeeds everywhere, and requires very little rain to insure a good crop. It makes a good food for stock and can not be equaled as a food for poultry. Plant when the ground has become warm at the rate of 22 pounds to the acre.

Pound, 35c, postpaid; by freight or express, lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.00.

WHY INOCULATE?

Inoculation of your seed before planting will give you a much stronger and quicker growth, producing a greater tonnage of hay. The cost of inoculation per acre is so small that the increased yield will repay it many times.

The big benefit comes in the value added to your land. The roots of the Alfalfa are the home of the inoculated bacteria, that draw the fertility-building nitrogen from the air and store it in swelling on the roots called nodules. These nodules not only feed nitrogen to the plant, but rot away in the ground to supply valuable nitrogen to all future crops of all kinds.

Peanuts

CULTURE— Prepare the ground well, laying it off in rows with a shovel-plow; the rows should be 3ya feet apart, and put two kernels to the hill, -which are about 1 foot apart. Cultivate thoroughly, and keep the land as level as possible. Three-fourths of a bushel of unshelled nuts will seed an acre.

MAMMOTH JUMBO — This variety grows to an astonishing size. The plants make compact bushes about 18 inches high, with heavy, erect stalks and large leaves. The giant nuts have thick, heavy-ribbed shells. Lb. 35c, postpaid. Write for prices in quantities.

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 pod, and are enormously productive. Lb. 35c, postpaid.

SPANISH — In addition to their value for growing for nuts, these are very largely used in the South as a forage and fattening crop for hogs and other stock. They are early to mature, very productive, and in the fhr 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 cultivation easier also. This variety frequently yields 60 bushels of market¬ able peanuts and 2 tons of hay per acre. Lb. 20c, postpaid.

Possible Failure of Soil Inoculation

Spanish Peanuts

Inoculation, while giving striking benefits, is by no means a cure-all for soil troubles. The bacteria con¬ cerned require satisfactory soil conditions if they are to flourish, in a very sour soil they do poorly and their growth can readily be improved by lime. If a farmer is uncertain regarding the acidity of his soil, it is well to have the soil tested before seeding leguminous crops. For legume, as for any other crop, the seed-bed should be well prepared, the soil well drained, and its acidity neutralized by the use of lime.

RED CLOVER — The mofet important and best known of all clovers, being used for pasture, hay, and enriching the land. For the latter purpose it is considered the cheapest fertilizer known. Lb. 50c, postpaid. By freight or express, lb. 45c.

ALSIKE OR SWEDISH CLOVER— The heads are glob¬ ular, very sweet and fragrant and much liked by bees, which obtain a great amount of honey from them. It produces a great amount of herbage during the season; the stalks are very fine; it makes a valuable hay crop where other clovers fail. Sow from 4 to 6 pounds per acre. Lb. 50c, postpaid; by freight or express, lb. 45c.

WHITE CLOVER — For lawn purposes this is very desirable on account of its creeping stems. It spreads rapidly and acts as a binder; very hardy; in permanent pastures is of consider¬ able value. Lb. 65c, postpaid.

MAMMOTH OR SAPLING CLOVER — (Also called Pea Vine or English Clover) — Similar to red clover, but of ranker growth and blossoms three weeks later. It will grow on many soils where the small red would prove a failure. It will grow on poorer clay soils, on sandy soils, in the stony wood, and will grow farther South than the June or common red clover. Where clover is to be sown for turning under for soil improvements, this Mammoth is by far the best as it not only roots much deeper, making a wonderful root-development, but its tap-root acts as a sub-soiler, thus putting more organic matter in the soil than can be had from the June or many other clovers. Lb. 50c, postpaid. By freight or express, lb. 45c.

JAPANESE CLOVER OR LESPEDEZA— Lespe- deza is a summer annual that begins its growth

in the middle of the spring, but does not reach maturity until September or October. It grows successfully over the whole area from central New Jersey and southward to the Gulf.

When once established it re-seeds itself from year to year. Sow in the spring after ground warms up by scarifying with a disc harrow. Sow not less than one bushel of Lespedeza per acre of the very best recleaned seed obtainable; roll the field or cover seed lightly. Sow the Lespedeza seed on the Bermuda sod in March or April and thoroughly harrow the sod. Or you can sow Lespedeza on the oats or other winter grain this spring. When the grain is ready, cut for hay or grain; let the Lespedeza grow and make a good crop of fine hay this fall, then as the Lespedeza re-seeds itself you have a permanent pasture.

Lespedeza is a legume, especially adapted to old, worn-out pastures and neglected fields — builds them up and makes them profitable. Can be sown with profit on hillsides and stop that washing. All stock relish it. Per lb. 40c, post¬ paid.

Alfalfa

ALFALFA is the most profitable crop by far, growm in Kan¬ sas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and Nebraska. No other crop on a twenty year average produces nearly as many dollars per acre as does Alfalfa.

Many people believe that Alfalfa cannot be profitably pro¬ duced in the particular section of the country where they live. We have been shipping Alfalfa seed into thirty-six states for many years and also to several provinces of Canada, as well as to Mexico. In all of these different sec¬ tions, under widely different conditions of culture, farming, etc., Alfalfa has given satisfactory results for the farmers using it. We, therefore feel certain that Alfalfa can be grown in practically every state in the United States, and that it will prove just as profitable to the farmers in the other states as it does to those in Kansas and Oklahoma. Cultivation is very simple, the essentials being well drained soil, at least eight feet to permanent water, shallow plant¬ ing through harrowing and packing.

Sweet Clover

Sweet Clover is a crop that is hardy; defies wet and drouth; never winter kills, and will grow on land that will not produce Alfalfa. Many wet, waxy soils are being farm¬ ed unprofitably by other crops, that would produce a large crop of Sweet Clover, and furthermore Sweet Clover will turn that poor land into land that will, within four or five years be nearly 100 percent better for any other crop that the farmer wants to put there.

Sweet Clover has long, deep roots that permit water and air to penetrate to the lower levels of the soil and thus greatly aids the mechanical condition of the soil. As Sweet Clover is a legume it increases the nitrogen content of the soil. Wheat, Corn or Alfalfa grown on a field following Sweet Clover are greatly improved. Yields of 10, 15 and 25 percent increase are not at all uncommon.

If you have a piece of upland or a few acres in the bend of a creek, sow Sweet Clover on it. Just disk the ground and harrow the seed in. Do not cover deeply. Sweet Clover still maintains its wild nature to the extent that it is capable of taking care of itself. Many good stands of Sweet Clover in the prairie parts of Kansas were sown in the grass without any cultivation whatever and have proved very profitable to the owner. If the field is to be grazed, stock can be allowed on it when the plants are six inches high. Sweet Clover is a biennial and not a perennial. That is, the plant grows only two years, so that this plant must be given a chance to re-seed itself the second year.

For hay and pasture Sweet Clover contains the same relative proportion of protein as Alfalfa does. Cattle, sheep, hogs and horses can all be pastured on Sweet Clover.

It can be sowm either in the Spring or Fall and it takes about twenty pounds of hulled seed to the acre — 25c per pound, postpaid. Write for prices in quantities.

It is rather sensitive to heat, but not to cold weather; and on this account does best in the spring, fall or winter. It does splendidly at first — forms a com¬ pact turf, making fine pasture when once established. Sow in the fall or spring at the rate of 2 or 3 bushels to an acre. Lb. 60c, postpaid; by freight or express, lb. 50c.

MEADOW FESCUE or ENGLISH BLUE GRASS— We re¬ gard this as one of the most valuable grasses as it adapts itself to different conditions of soil and climate. Especially suited for permanent pasture; also fine for hay. It gives a large amount of early and late pasture. It is a persistent grower; its roots penetrate deeply; it does well on wet or dry bottoms, hillsides, gravelly clay, and loamy lands. It never freezes out or winter-kills and is not easily affected by drouth. Sow 15 to 25 pounds per acre. Lb. 50c, post¬ paid; by freight or express, lb. 45c.

RED TOP — Grows well in all soils, whether sandy, thin, dry lands or rich, wet soils. It is one of the most satisfactory

grasses that can be sown; a fine pasture grass and is well suited for meadows. It sends out shoots at the base that take root at every joint, forming a dense, thick sod. Red Top is of great value for sowing in gullies or in soils that are inclined to wash from heavy rains. Sow 10 pounds to the acre. Lb. 35c, postpaid; by freight or express, lb. 30c;

Special Directions About Sowing— Nearly all grass seeds are very small and will not come up satisfactorily unless put in properly, and again, most planters will not use enough seed to the acre. The soil should be thoroughly prepared by deep breaking and thorough har¬ rowing until a smooth bed is made, and the ground should be settled thoroughly before sowing. After sowing the seed, very little cover¬ ing should be given with a brush or harrow that will cover it lightly.

If the weather is likely to be dry, the ground should be pressed over the seed, so as to bring the seed in close contact with the soil to hold the moisture until the seeds get a good start. Meadow Fescue

BERMUDA GRASS — Bermuda is a Southern grass. It de¬ lights in sunshine and warmth. It is extensively cultivated in this section of the country for lawns. It is a small, creeping, hardy perennial, which thrives on nearly all our soils, though, like other grasses, it gives better results on richer soils. Bermuda grass is very valuable for pasture, as well as for hay crops. It grows vigorously during the hot summer months when other grasses are parched and dead. It is very difficult to eradicate when once establish¬ ed. One of the chief reasons why this grass has not been more extensively introduced is the fact that it has been the practice to propagate it from the roots, as it does not mature seed in this section. However, it is just as easy to get a good stand by sowing seed. The seed should be planted in the spring. Seed requires 60 to 90 days to ger¬ minate. The ground should be well prepared with a good, firm seedbed, as the seed is small, and is seeded broadcast at the rate of 10 pounds per acre. Do not cover more than half an inch. The seeding should not be done too early, as the seed will not germinate if sown before the weather and Lb. 70c, postpaid; by freight or express, lb. 60c; 10 lbs. $5.50.

ORCHARD GRASS — This is one of the most valuable and widely known of all pasturage grasses, coming in early in the spring and remaining green later in the fall than any other.

Sudan Grass

SUDAN GRASS — The heaviest-yielding, most drouth re¬ sisting hay grass ever introduced. Sudan Grass com¬ bines all the good features of Johnson Grass and has none of the objections. Sudan Grass is sown in the spring, as soon as danger of frost is past, either broad¬ cast or in rows so that it can be cultivated. If in rows, SV2 feet apart, 5 to 6 pounds to the acre will be re¬ quired; if sown broadcast, 15 to 20 pounds. It stools freely and often from 80 to 100 plants may be found coming from one seed. As a drouth-resister, it has no equal, and may be depended upon when all other grasses succumb to dry weather. It may be mowed or cut with binder; the latter method is preferred, as Sudan Grass cures admirably well in shocks. Lb. 25c, postpaid. Write for prices in larger quantities.

Hegari

HEGARI — A new grain or forage crop similar to both White Kafir and Feterita. It is more desirable for grain than either, as the bad quali¬ ties of both have been eliminated. Feterita shells out pretty badly, and Hegari will not shell. Feterita is soft and pithy, while Hegari is solid and sound and with plenty of blades. Its dwarf habit of growth, 4 to 5 feet in height, and compact heads of large white grains make it very attractive. Hegari also produces large crops of grain. The stems are rather sweet and horses and cattle eat the stalks, fodder and grain if permitted to do so. Lb. 20c, postpaid; by freight or express, lb. 10c; bu. (50 lbs.) $2.75.

Darso

DARSO is low growing, heavily foliaged, and has a large stalk which is usually tinged with red. It is remarkable for its uniformity in height and uniformity in shape and color of heads. The stalks are sweet and juicy, and chemical analysis of grain shows that the composition is very similar to that of Kafir. Darso matures earlier than Kafir, which fact has much to do with its drouth resistance. Darso makes ex¬ cellent silage, and can be used for grain, for¬ age or silage crop.

DWARF YELLOW MILO — A dwarf improvement of the old Standard Yellow Milo. Grows 3 to 4 feet high, while the old variety grew 8 to 10 feet. Dwarf Milo is quite similar to the Standard Milo, but the heads all invariably bend over from the weight. It is not unusual for a head of Dwarf Milo to weigh one pound. The feeding value is the same as Yellow Milo. This variety seems to be more popular throughout the western plains of Kansas and Okla¬ homa. Lb. 15c, postpaid; by freight or express, lb. 10c; bu. (50 lbs.) $2.00.

Feterita

FETERITA — Grows from 6 to 8 feet high. The plant resembles Kafir but the stalks are much more slender. Feterita should be planted in rows three and one-half feet apart and the seed should be dropped from eight to fourteen inches apart in the row. When Feterita gets up about eight inches high, it branches out from four to ten sucker plants and each of these sucker plants grow up the same as the main plant. On account of this suckering habit of Feterita it should be planted thinner than Kafir or Milo. The first or main seed head ripens 15 to 30 days before the heads of the suckers are mature enough for grain. The grain is white like White Kafir and about twice the size. Feterita matures in from 80 to 90 days from date of plant¬ ing. Feterita is a great drouth resister, and in this respect will withstand

continued heat and drouth better than either Kafir or Milo. Lb. 20c, postpaid; by freight or express, lb. 10c; bushel (50 lbs.) $2.25.

Broom Corn

BROOM CORN belongs to the same plant family as Cane, Kafir and Milo. It is divided in two groups, known as Standard and Dwarf. There are a good many names given to Broom Corn, which are used in localities where it is grown.

STANDARD — This variety grows from 7 to 12 feet high. It requires a differ¬ ent manner of gathering the heads. ^The tall stalks are broken or tabled at a height of about 3 to 5 feet from the ground and two rows are brought to¬ gether in V-shaped form so that the heads protrude just beyond the outside row or “table” as it is generally called. Lb. 25c; by freight or express, lb. 20c.

MANGEL WURZELS — The value of root crops for stock-feeding during the winter months is being more recognized. Foremost among these are the mangel wurzels and the sugar beets of which an enormous crop may be raised at a trifling cost per acre. They should be planted in rows 3 feet apart in very rich soil; 5 to 6 pounds of seed will plant an acre.

Wheelbarrow Grass Seeders

ROYAL CHAIN FEED SEEDER

Have won for themselves first place among all kinds of grass seeders. They have demonstrated that they are the most accurate and economical machine for

sowing Clover, Timothy, Alfalfa and other small seeds broadcast. They run easily, and sow evenly in windy weather. The quan¬ tity of seed sown is ac¬ curately governed by the wheel, which moves corre¬ spondingly slow or fast as the machine runs over the ground. This seeder has a strong steel wheel 32 inches in diameter, with an inch and a quarter by one-quarter inch steel tire, is operated by a device that engages the wheel close to the hub. It is instantly thrown out of gear, and the amount of seed sown is quickly governed by changing a screw in the index. This seeder does not injure or bunch the seed, but evenly distributes it the full length of the hopper. Price: 14 feet, $12.50 each; 16 feet, $13.50 each.

SEEDERS

CAHOON SEEDER— Easily the leader in its class. Strongly built; sows wheat, oats, barley, and all grain and grass seeds five times faster than by hand. Price, each, $5.00.

THE CYCLONE SEEDER — Sows all kinds of grain and seeds perfectly — oats, cow peas, millet, etc. Each, $2.25, post¬ paid.

GARDEN PLOWS

The high wrheel garden plow is a universal favorite with the truck farmer or gardener where the work is sufficient to justify separate ma¬ chines for seeding and cultivating.

Equipment consists of turning plow, combination hoe and culti¬ vator and double point shovel. No. 320. Each, $3.75.

HUDSON DRILL SEEDER AND CULTIVATOR

The seed regulator is now made entirely of brass with openings die cut instead of being cast or moulded. As a result it can be regulated perfectly.

The seed flow adjustment is the heart and soul of a seeder for if the seed is not dropped uniformly, the crop will be irregular and poor. It will sow any seed from beans down to the smallest garden variety, and is a prac¬ tical combination which can be changed in a moment from sowing in con¬ tinuous rows to dropping in hills spaced from 4 to 24 inches apart.

A brush force feed of selected bristles is used, and is guaranteed not to injure the most delicate seeds. The seed flow is in plain sight so that the operator can tell instantly when the hopper is empty. The furrow opening shoe and furrow covers are adjustable for depth up to 2 inches. The handles have a plow handle grip, and are adjustable to suit the operator.

Wheel is 16 inches in diameter with a broad tire. Frame is malleable iron with tubular arch. Hoes, shovels and plows are high grade steel; all shanks are made of malleable iron.

As a seeder this machine opens the furrow, drops the seed, closes the fur¬ row, packs the earth and marks the next row all in one operation. The seed¬ ing parts can be detached by removing two bolts, and the machine thpn becomes a single or double wheel cultivator, rake, plow or hoe as desired. It is a nea*. well -finished machine, and will give entire satisfaction. No. 201 Seeder and Cultivator, price each, $16.00.
