Please follow these instructions carefully. If any mistakes
occur or your order is delayed, let us hear from you promptly.

OUR TERMS ARE CASH WITH ORDER — Send Postoffice or
Express Money Order, Bank Draft or Registered Letter. Small
amounts may be in postage stamps.

HOW TO ORDER. — Always write your name, postoffice, state
and express office plainly, and if possible use the order sheet.
Always carry out the price of each item.

Make all orders or checks payable to Vogeler Seed Co.

SAFE ARRIVAL GUARANTEED — We guarantee safe arrival
of all seeds sent by Mail or Express, but request all to have
their addresses plainly written. If the seeds are not received

kind of remittance and same will be given immediate attention.

HOW TO SHIP. — Always state how to ship heavy seeds, if t®
go by Freight or Express.

GUARANTEE. — It is impractical to guarantee seeds, as under
improper care the best of seeds will fail. Some may be sown too
shallow or too deep, in too dry ground or too wet. Some hardy
seeds will stand cool weather and grow when soil is too cold
for others and will cause them to decay. Insects above or below
the surface may attack and destroy them. For these reasons
Vogeler Seed Co. gives no warranty, either express or implied,
as to description, quality, productiveness or any other matter of
any seeds we send out, and will not in any way be responsible
for the crop.

VEGETABLE SEEDS

To Our Friends and Patrons

It again becomes our pleasure to submit for your con¬
sideration our Annual Catalog and Price List. We, at this
time, wish to express our sincere appreciation to our many
customers for their liberal patronage in the past, and to em¬
phasize the importance of purchasing your season’s needs
early. Seed stocks this season are very short indeed, many
items will not be available at all and some only in limited
amounts. In consequence prices are higher than they have
been in years. Our quotations will be found as low as First
Class Stocks can be sold for, and in most cases they include
postage or express charges prepaid to your door.

We assure our customers that every order, large or
small, will receive prompt and careful attention, and so far as
lies within our power, we shall endeavor to make every pur¬
chaser a satisfied one.

Trusting that 192 9-30 will bring an increased measure of
prosperity and happiness to all our friends and customers,
we remain,

Very truly,

Asparagus

YOUR GARDEN SHOULD GROW
Culture. — Asparagus will produce well in practically all sec¬
tions of the country, and it should be in every garden. Plant the
seeds thinly (2 to 3 inches apart) in rows 16 to 20 inches apart.
This will produce the plants far enough apart to they need not
be thinned. Keep free from weeds and cultivate well to get the
best possible growth of plants. Transplant to permanent bed
when the plants are either one or two years old. The soil for the
permanent bed should be well drained and made very rich by cover¬
ing with a heavy coat of barnyard manure. Disc the manure
in and plow deep. Harrow several times as soon as plowed. Plow
furrows 6 to 8 inches deep, 4 feet apart and set the plants 2
feet apart in the furrows, spreading the roots out well. Cover
with 2 to 3 inches of earth, and after the shoots begin to come up
cover more, until the furrows are leveled.

CONOVER’S COLOSSAL.

Fertilize well each year with well-rotted manure. Do not
cut any the first year and only a part of the crop the next year.
You should not cut a full crop until 4 years old, and if well cared
for, the bed will continue to produce from twelve to twenty years.

Very careful tests have proven the Giant Argentenil superior
to all others in yield and also best to withstand unfavorable
weather, as this variety does not rust easily.

Nearly all markets now call for Green Asparagus. The stalks
should be cut about 2V2 or 3 inches below the surface when 6
inches high. This gives a stalk showing 2% inches white and
6 inches of natural color. They should then be tied in bunches 2%
inches in diameter, 8y2 inches long. Grade the asparagus, making
up the bunches from stalks of uniform size.

Make your asparagus bed where there is good air drainage, as
there will be less liability to- rust than if protected from the wind.
Keep the soil full of humus so it will not blow badly. Give the
soil a light dressing of slaked lime every two or three years; this
will sweeten it and help keep away injurious insects. When the
tops are brown in the fall, mow and burn them.

An ounce of seed produces about 500 plants. To be safe allow
IV2 pounds of seed for each acre of permanent bed you wish to
set; 5,500 plants set an acre; $400 to $600 per acre is a very com¬
mon return from asparagus.

Giant Argentenil

A highly improved strain. This strain is the result of selection
since 1910 under the direction of the Bureau of Plant Industry of
the United States Department of Agriculture, from which date
the product of a single plant has increased so the stock can now
be offered as a commercial variety. Pkt. 5c; ox. 10c; *4 lb. 35c; lb.

PALMETTO ASPARAGUS. — This has been the favorite variety
for a number of years and has been the source of large profit to
the leading asparagus growers. My seed was saved from a special
field grown by one of the most successful growers of the country.
It is large, very early and an abundant yielder.

The plants are able to resist diseases to a remarkable degree.

Garden Beans

Prices Lower

Beans like a dry and rather light soil, though they will do
in any garden soil, if not planted too early in the spring. Planting
should be delayed until all danger of frost is over. Dwarfs are
the earliest and most hardy, as a general rule. In garden culture
beans are usually planted about 2 inches deep, in rows 18 inches
apart, and 3 inches apart in the row; in field culture in drills 2
to 3 feet apart, so as to cultivate with horse one way. Until
blossoming season, frequent but shallow cultivation should be

STRINGLESS GREEN POD.

given. It is useless to expect a crop from a poorly-prepared
field, or from one that needs stirring after planting, as cutting
of the roots after the plants show bloom is very apt to kill the
vines and ruin the crop. Two pounds will plant 100 feet of drill,
and sixty pounds is sufficient for an acre.

Running beans, especially the Limas, are even more tender
than the Dwarfs; therefore, planting must be delayed still later, or
until liability to rot in consequence of cold, damp weather has
passed. Plant five or six beans in each hill, about 2 inches deep,
hills 3 feet apart each way. Two pounds of seed will be sufficient
for 100 hills of Dimas, and 250 to 300 hills of the other varieties.

VOGELER SEED COMPANY

Some market gardeners risk planting part of their crop five
or six days before the average time of the last frost in the spring
so that if they are fortunate and miss the frost they will be early
on the market. To afford a regular succession of crops throughout
the season, plant every two weeks after the first planting until
mid-summer.

Seed beans are a light crop this year and especially so with
the most desirable sorts.

Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod

The pods are fleshy, being full and round before the beans
begin to attain any size. They continue to bear a long time when
kept picked off, and by planting two or three times during the
season, the first planting as soon as danger from frost is past,
and then later, about four weeks apart, you have snap beans
covering a period of three or four months.

Pkt. 10c; % lb. 30c; lb. 50c; 5 lbs. $2.25; prepaid. By express or
freight, not prepaid, 10 lbs. or more, 40c per lb. Wholesale price,
100 lbs. $36.00.

Giant Stringless Green Pod

A very productive and handsome sort. A few days later than
Burpee’s Stringless. The plants are large and vigorous. The
pods are long, nearly straight, round and tender. Quality good,
either for home garden or market. The seeds are long, slender and
yellow.

Pkt. 10c; % lb. 30c; lb. 50c; 5 lbs. $2.25; postpaid. Not prepaid,
10 lbs. and up, 40c per lb. Wholesale prices, 100 lbs. $35.00.

DAVIS WAX

This is also called Davis White Kidney Wax. Is is a well known
market sort, much used for shipping. The plants are very hardy
and productive and the variety is very desirable where a handsome
wax-podded, white-seeded intermediate sort is wanted. The plants
are very vigorous. The pods are remarkably long, about six inches,
sometimes longer. They are handsome, light yellow, straight, very
attractive and when young are crisp and tender. The dry beans
are excellent for baking. Seed medium large, kidney shaped, clear
white. Pkt. 10c; y2 lb. 30c; lb. 50c; 5 lbs. $2.25; postpaid. Not

Black Valentine

This variety is in great demand with southern planters be¬
cause it can be planted early, stands more cold at planting time
and produces nearly round, slightly flattened, rich green pods which
hold up well and keep their color better than other sorts on the
market.

We have a very good supply and offer at low prices as long
as our stock remains unsold. Pkt. 10c; y2 lb. 30c; lb. 50c; postpaid.

quality; real snap beans without strings. They are early, produce
a large crop, sell well on the market and are extensively grown
by market gardeners and in home gardens. The dry beans cook
well. Pkt. 10c; % lb. 30c; lb. 50c; 5 lbs. $2.25; postpaid. Not pre¬

BEANS— PENCIL POD BLACK WAX

This round pod snap bean is one of the most vigorous growers
and is entirely stringless. The pods are long and straight. As a
shipper they do not wither as quickly as the flat1 sorts. Grown
where beans are apt to rust or blight they are less liable to injury
than most other sorts. We have grown large acreages of beans
and select these as our favorite wax bean. Pkt. 10c; y2 lb. 30c; lb.

Lima Beans

Henderson’s Bush Lima

An Excellent Sort. We Grow Large Acreage of This

This excellent variety will produce an abundant crop under a
wider range of weather or soil conditions than any other Lima, and
we urge its planting in every garden. In the home garden a small
space will produce finest flavored Lima Beans for use as soon as
they are large enough to shell, and later for dry shell beans.

They yield a heavy crop, are a true bush sort, 18 to 20 inches
high, require no support and are early, coming in weeks ahead
of other Limas, and bearing continually until frost. The beans
have the true Lima flavor, buttery, rich and tender. Pkt. 10c; %

up, 30c per lb. Wholesale price, 100 lbs. $27.00.

Kentucky Wonder

Also known as Old Homestead. We believe this variety is the
most practically useful of the green podded pole beans suitable
for use as snaps. It is an early, very prolific sort, with showy
pods which are of most excellent quality. The vines are vigorous,
climbing well and very productive, bearing pods in large clusters.
The pods are medium light green, very long, often reaching nine or
ten inches, curved and twisted, nearly round and very crisp when

Beets— Table

Culture

Beets are very easily grown and one of the profitable crops
for the market grower. If desirable to be very early, they may
be grown in the hotbed and transplanted, for which purpose we
recommend Crosby’s Egyptian.

Prepare your soil by manuring heavily and discing well
before plowing, to make it easier to turn the manure under and
to thoroughly mix it with the soil. Harrow as soon as plowed,
making a fine, well-settled seed bed. It is a great advantage to
drag or float the land, as this crushes all small clods and settles
the surface well.

EARLY WONDER.

... Plant as early in the spring as the weather will permit. Beets
will stand light frosts, but care must be taken, as a heavy frost
would destroy them.

The rows should be 16 to 20 inches apart and the seed planted
from 1 to iy2 inches deep. When the plants have five or six
leaves thin table beets to 4 to 6 inches apart. Sugar beets and
Mangel Wurzels 10 to 12 inches apart. Plant 6 to 8 pounds of
table beets or stock beets per acre and 20 pounds of sugar beets
per acre.

Table beets may be sown at intervals of four weeks until
the latter part of June to have tender, even sized beets through¬
out the season from late summer until winter, the later planting
being for siloing to use or sell during the winter.

We make a specialty of beet seed and sell thousands of pounds
each year. Our seed is grown by the leading heet seed specialists
of this country and Europe.

Crosby's Egyptian

VOGELER’S SPECIAL STOCK

This is extremely early, being one of the first early beets. The
shape is nearly round, very smooth, a rich red, fine-grained and
of extra quality. The tops are small, making fine bunches. They
have a very distinctive bright red color and are uniform in shape
and appearance. The tap root is small. The type is well illus¬
trated in the cut herewith.

Vogeler’s Crimson Globe

This very valuable second early sort is a fit companion to
our strain of Crosby’s Egyptian. The color is darker red, shape
just a little more square shouldered and a little deeper from
base to top to a tap root. The leaves are very dark red and
tops small. It is a good beet to grow for late crop and keeps
well when pitted, until late in the spring. It is beautifully
zoned. Will please you.

Oz. 10c; % lb. 25c; lb. 85c.

Detroit Dark Red

Market growers Note Prices Are Wholesale at Large Quantities

This fine, dark red beet is a leader with us. We recommend
it for either the home or market garden. We also sell large
quantities of it to canning factories, as its uniform shape and

dark red color make it very well liked for canning. Our Beet
Seed is grown by the leading beet seed growers of this country
and Europe.

If there were only two varieties of Table Beets, we would
choose Crosby’s Egyptian for early home garden or market, and
Detroit Dark Red for late home garden or market.

The best beet grown for canners use is Detroit Red.

The tops are small, dark green and red, the roots globular,
very smooth; the flesh a deep red, shaded with black red zones.
This beet is acknowledged by the beet seed specialists throughout
the world as the most uniform in size, shape and color, and of
the highest quality. Oz. 10c; *4 lb. 35c; lb. 90c.

Good Greens

Plant table beet seeds about % to 1 inch apart and thin to
4 to 6 inches apart when the small beets are *4 to % inch in
diameter and cook the plants you pull out for greens. We do
not know of any better greens.

Sugar Beets

Sugar Beets make fine (Beet Pickles. They are sweeter than
Table Beets and many like them much better for this purpose.
Plant same as Table Beets. If you prefer the red color, cook
some red beets with them.

White Klein Wanzleben

White Klein Wanzleben Sugar Beet. This variety is best liked
and most extensively planted for sugar factories. They usually
test 15 to 18 per cent sugar and produce 12 to 25 tons per acre.
They are very valuable for feeding stock, but I would recommend
feeding them with stock beets, listed next page, about half of
each, as the Sugar Beets alone are too rich in sugar. Oz. 5c; *4

GIANT FEEDING SUGAR BEET.

Giant Half Sugar Rose Top

stock. It is richer in sugar than the Mangel-Wurzels and not
so rich as sugar beets. What it lacks in sugar it makes up in

tonnage yield per acre, and not being so sweet is less liable
to injure the kidneys when fed in very large quantities compared
with sugar beets. It grows about one-half out of the ground and
is excellent for all kinds of stock.

One acre of thsi will produce as much food value as eight to
ten acres of corn.

The shape is as shown in cut above. Color, rose above
ground, white below; flesh white, sometimes slightly tinged with
rose. Oz. 5e; ^4 lb. 15c; lb. 50c, prepaid. By freight or express,
10 lbs., 40c per lb.

Mangel Wurzel for Stock Feeding

Mangel Wurzels are of special value to the stockman and
dairyman. The roots are juicy, sweet and refreshing, act as a
mild laxative, keep the cattle in good health, thus tending to
produce flesh and increasing the flow of milk. The owners of
even one or two cows should grow a sufficient quantity
of Mangels to provide fresh food in winter when green food is
unobtainable. For field culture the rows should be wide enough
to admit the horse cultivator, and the roots not nearer than one
foot in the row. Sow five or six pounds of seed to the acre.

When hogs sell for less produce the meat for less by feed¬
ing them Mangel-Wurzel Beets along with corn. Poultry
raisers provide green food for winter with Mangel-Wurzel.

Improved Mammoth Long Red

An improvement on the old variety. The roots are very large,
uniformly straight and well formed, proportionately thicker, and
are deeper colored than the common sort, and with smaller tops.
We know our stock of this variety will produce the largest and
finest roots which can be grown, and that it is vastly superior
to many strains of the same sort offered under other names,
such as Norbitan Giant, Colossal, Monarch, etc. Pkt. 10c; ^4 lb. 20c;

Long Red. Flesh yellow zoned with white; grows partly out of
the ground; an immense yielder and preferred by many. Can
easily be pulled from the ground without plowing loose. Oz. 5c;

Farmers and Stockmen; We can do you no greater favor
than to induce you to plant these Stock Beets for your hogs
and cattle. They are easily grown and an acre will feed 100
hogs from 30 to 40 days under favorable conditions. Plant a
few acres this year and you will continue to do so each year.

Carrots

Culture. — Any good soil is suitable, manure it well, plow deep
and prepare the seed bed as for beets. It is a good plan to plant
a few radish seed with the carrot, as carrot starts slowly and the
radish mark the rows so they can be cultivated before the carrots
come up. Plant rows same distance apart as beets and thin to
about 4 inches apart in the row, or if from 2 to 4 inches apart,
they need not be thinned. Cover about 1 inch deep. Cultivate
often and thoroughly. Sowing may be made as early in the
spring as the soil can be put in good condition, or up to June
15 to 20. Two and one-half to three pounds of seed per acre.

finest grade of cabbage seed obtainable. This seed is produced
for us by the leading specialists of the world. Certain sorts
which reach the highest development and produce the highest
grade of seed in Denmark we have grown there; others in Holland
and Long Island.

With cabbage, the first point is good seed. No matter how
well you care for the crop you will fail if you have not reliable
seed.

Culture

The soil should be rich and the preparation thorough. Cul¬
tivate, cultivate, and keep It up. If under irrigation frequent
irrigations are an advantage, but do not wiater to take the place
of cultivating.

For early cabbage, except in the extreme South, sow the
seed in hot beds and transplant to cold frames, setting out in open
ground as early as possible in the spring. For late cabbage start
the plants in the open the 1st of May in most sections and set
out in the permanent row when the plants are 4 to 6 inches
high. Many plant the seed in hills, 10 to 12 seeds to the hill
where the crop is to grow and thin to one when 3. or 4 inches
high. This avoids transplanting. Continue hoeing and cultivat¬
ing until the heads begin to form.

To store for winter use pull the cabbage and set in trenches
with the heads down, covering with earth and protecting from
rain. The roots should not be entirely covered until cool weather,

to prevent heating-. Do not trench the cabbage until just before
cold weather.

The cabbage seed crop is short this year and we urge you
to place your orders early as we cannot promise to supply at these
prices after our present stock is gone.

If you use 100 to 1,000 pounds or more seed per year, write
for our special offer on growing contracts. We supply thousands
of pounds of various kinds of seeds under contract for large
planters at as low prices as good seed can be grown.

The sorts which we list we know to be of the best.

The Vogeler

Another year has proven the great value of this extra early,
round, solid-headed Cabbage.

It is reported by large numbers of our customers to be the
finest Extra Early Cabbage they ever saw.

The demand has grown very large for this seed. Market
gardeners will find this a big money-maker and it should be in
every home garden.

If you think you have the finest early Cabbage, plant this
beside it and compare results.

You know an ounce of cabbage seed will make about 3,000
plants, and as 4 ounces will, if carefully grown, produce plants
for 1 acre — $1.60 worth of this seed may bring you several hun¬
dred dollars from your crop before your competitor gets on the
market.

It is earlier than Jersey Wakefield; produces 4 to 6-pound
round solid heads, which are just the right size to sell well. Be

sure to order some of this. Pkt. 10c. oz. 40c; *4 lb. $1.50; lb. $5.50;

Cost of seed practically nothing compared with a good crop.

Vogeler’s Large Charleston Wakefield

This fine, large early cabbage is but a few days later than
the very earliest small sorts, is a very strong, thrifty grower, but
little bothered by insects. The heads weigh from 6 to 10 pounds,
sometimes more; are very solid and profitable for the early
market. Our seed is grown in a section where there is nothing
to be desired to permit the growing of the finest cabbage seed.
You cannot buy better seed at any price. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; *4 lb.

best seed only costs this year from 10c to 20c per 1,000 plants.

Early New Copenhagen Market

This new cabbage is of very great merit, being as early as
Charleston Wakefield and having the round, solid head of the Dan¬

you. The introducer says: “It is undoubtedly without a rival
as the finest large roundheaded early cabbage in cultivation.”

The heads average 8 to 10 pounds each, very solid, with small
core and very fine qality. The plant is short-stemmed, the heads
being produced very near the ground level. The leaves are closely
folded and few outer leaves. The plants may be set closer than
ordinary cabbage will permit.

Enkhuizen Glory

This sort originated near the shores of Zuyder Zee in Holland.

It is large, early, white, solid. The originators have this to

say:

“Amongst many sorts of white cabbage, none of them com¬
bines these two desirable qualities of being early and large so
well as the aforesaid sort. We can recommend this as a really
early one (coming as early as the Early Dutch Flat), but at the
same time making fine, large, ball-shaped heads, particularly at¬
tractive for market purposes.

“The plants are somewhat pale green, and in proportion to the
whole making very little outside leaves and fine, large form, thin
ribbed, hard heads.

Short Stemmed Danish Round Head

Very hardy, handsome, very solid, of fine quality and as one
of the very best keepers it is particularly desirable for distant
markets or for late spring use. The plant is vigorous, compact
growing, with shorter stem than most American sorts and ex¬
ceedingly hardy in resisting cold and dry weather. The leaves
are few but rather large, thick, smooth, bluish-green. The head
is medium-sized, round, very solid and stands shipment better than
any other late sort.

Large planters will find this variety excellent for late plant¬
ing and a money-maker. The weight of the heads of this sort
trimmed is much more for the same size than the American sorts.

this gain is about $150.00 per acre, which is all extra profit.

Medium Stem Danish Ballhead

This variety is similar to above except the stem is longer. It
is one of the finest sorts for winter, either for the home garden

Cauliflower

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

For spring and early summer crop, sow in March or early in
April in hot bed and transplant to cold frame when sufficiently
large to handle. As soon as danger of hard freezing is over set in
the open ground in rows 2V2 feet apart and 18 inches apart in the
row. The plants will endure a light frost. The soil for cauli¬
flower should be like that for cabbage, but it is better if made
richer than is ordinarily used for that crop. Plenty of good
manure must be well incorporated with the soil and the latter
be brought into the highest state of tilth. No application, how¬
ever, can be more necessary or more useful than that of cultivator
and hoe. For late crop, sow at same time as for late cabbage and
treat in the same manner. It should be borne in mind that cauli¬
flower will not head up well in hot, dry weather and hence the
sowings need to be so timed as to bring the heads to maturity
either before the hot summer weather sets in or not until the
cooler weather of the fall. If it receives at this time a liberal
supply of water, the size and quality of the heads will be greatly
improved. After the head begins to form, draw the leaves over
and tie them together to protect it from the sun and keep it white.

Each time you go over and tie the heads as above it is a good
plan to use a different colored string. Calico strips are usually
used. This will help you when cutting the heads to know which are
ready.

The heads should be cut for use when the “curd” is compact
and hard, as they soon become much impaired in quality and ap¬
pearance after they open and separate into branches. Plant lice
are serious pests of this crop. Garden Gard.

All the cauliflower seed we offer is produced by the most ex¬
perienced growers in Europe, in such localities as are best suited to
its proper development, and the greatest care is taken to save seed
from perfectly developed plants only.

We supply many of the large distributors.

Vogeler’s Perfection

Unquestionably the leading- variety for market and private

is superior to any other variety. It is almost sure to head even
under unfavorable circumstances. Pkt. 20c; % oz. 75c; ox. $2.50,

Vogeler’s Extra Select Early Snowball

This variety is the highest attainment in the development of the
cauliflower. Every care is taken to have the seed right. The
heads are selected for a close, white curd, solid and uniform.

The cultivation is done in the most thorough manner and
the seed is then selected from the single plants which continue
to show the highest development. The seed is then graded and
and we receive only the largest, best developed seeds. The special
care is of great value to our customers, as in this crop so much
depends upon the quality of the seed. This sort is remarkable for
its extreme earliness, sureness to produce fine, solid heads with
a close, white curd. The leaves are produced in sufficient quan¬
tity to tie nicely over the head, while the curd is small and cause
them to blanch very white. The heads are round and thick, often
weighing 6 to 10 pounds before the curd begins to separate. No
better strain can be produced. Market growers especially can
plant this seed with confidence that it is the seed which will give
them the best possible results.

Considering the extreme care taken and the crop results, the
price is right. Pkt. 10c; Ys ox. 35c; % ox. 65c; Yz ox. $1.25; ox.

portion of this vegetable, it is not necessary to earth up or
“handle” it. After the roots have attained a diameter of two
inches or over they will be fit for use. To keep through the
winter, pack in damp earth or sand and put in the cellar, or
leave out of doors, covering with earth and straw, like beets or
carrots. Pkt. 10c; oz. 75c.

August and September. If the soil is dry it should be firmly
pressed over the seed in order to secure prompt germination. On
the approach of severe cold weather cover with straw or coarse
litter. The plants will also do well if the seed is sown very
early in the spring, and like most salad plants, are greatly im¬

Culture. — Cucumbers thrive best in a very rich, loamy soil,
not containing too much sand. A rather heavy soil is preferable
to sandy soil. The most successful growers fertilize heavily with
barnyard manure, scattered evenly over the surface 2 to 3 inches
deep, disced thoroughly, then plowed under to a depth of 6 to
8 inches, then thoroughly harrowed and floated. This gives an
excellent seed bed.

You can now plant with your garden drill rows 4 feet apart,
drilling in about 3 pounds of seed per acre, covering the seed
about 1 inch in depth. You can follow the drill mark and cultivate
before the plants come up. Cultivate often. When the plants have

26

VOGELER SEED COMPANY1

four to six leaves thin to one plant every 18 inches. Keep the
cultivator going1 as long as you can get through the rows. If
under irrigation water once a week lightly and always cultivate
between irrigations until the crop is laid by. Keep the cucumbers
picked off as fast as they reach the size desired, as if any are
allowed to ripen the plants cease to set on more fruit.

If bothered by the striped cucumber beetle or aphis, dust with
Garden Gard. This is a great help for all gardeners.

Be careful not to put too much lime or ashes on the plants,
as this will injure them. Keep them growing rapidly and insects
have less chance to damage them.

In picking to ship for slicing it is a good plan to divide the
field into thirds and pick one-third each day. If under irrigation,
lay off the lands in short rows and run the water along the
rows very lightly after each picking.

Boston Pickling

This is a very productive variety that is extensively grown for
pickles. The vines are vigorous. The fruits are bright green of

Vogeler’s Klondike

This is one of our own special items. It is a pleasure to
be able to state that it has through merit and without extensive
advertising worked into the favor of market growers until it
is now one of the leaders. It is not excelled for outdoor growing
for slicing, producing specimens equal to the finest hot house
products under favorable conditions. It is a very hardy grower.
Early, yields abundantly and withstands unfavorable weather con¬
ditions, even when most sorts fail. Color dark green with pale
green stripes from the blossom and about one-third the length;
flesh white and crisp, of excellent flavor; length about 7 to 8
inches. No sort produces more uniform fruits. Many single cus¬
tomers purchase from 100 to 500 pounds, and some more. Pkt. 5c;

Davis Perfect Cucumber

DAVIS PERFECT.

This very valuable new sort was introduced in 1906, and we
immediately secured from the introducer a considerable quantity
of the seed. This we carefully planted and from the crop we
selected the finest specimens for stock seed. We have kept up
this selection each year and this year we grew a large acreage and
are pleased to say we have seed of this valuable sort to offer
to our customers at prices which surely merit your orders when
you consider it is one of the best possible to secre. The cucum¬
bers shown in the photo below are Davis Perfect. This cucumber
is exactly the same color as Burrell’s Klondike, being dark green.
Length about 10 inches when suitable to ship, and size quite
uniform. It Is an excellent sort either for hot house or outdoor
culture.

Grown out of doors the color resembles hot house grown stock
and it sells well in competition with them. Pkt. 5e; oz. 15c; % lb.

Extra Early White Spine

This variety is an excellent sort to grow for Dill Pickles and
is an excellent slicer but is lighter colored than Klondike Earliest
of All, which means it is not as good a market sort. For the

home g-arden where both a pickier and slicer is wanted it is
excellent. Large quantities of this seed is used by Pickle Manu¬
facturers, as it is equally as good for small pickles as for dills
and by many considered one of the best.

The fruits are straight, square ended, thick, solid walled,
making solid pickles.

Egg Plant

The Egg Plant should be more generally grown, for when well
grown and properly cooked is a most delicious vegetable. The
seeds germinate slowly and should be started in a strong, uniform
heat, and kept constantly growing, because the young plants seldom
recover if checked in their growth. Sow seeds in hotbeds or
warm green house in March or early in April; if no hotbed is at
hand they may be grown in any light room where the temperature
will average 75 degrees. When plants have formed two rough
leaves, transplant them in beds 3 or 4 inches apart. Keep the
bed closed and very warm, shading from the direct rays of the
sun, giving an abundance of water until the ground is warm and
all danger from frosts and cold nights is past, then harden the
plants by gradual exposure to the sun and air, then increase the
supply of water; transplant to the open ground late in May or
June into warm, rich soil, 2 or 3 feet apart each way, according
to the richness of the soil. When about a foot high, draw the
earth up to the stems. Care should be used in cutting the fruit
so as not to disturb the roots of the plants. One ounce for 2,000
plants; 4 ounces for one acre.

Lettuce

New York Special or Los Angeles Market

This is the variety grown extensively in California, Colorado,
Utah, Idaho and other Western states for shipping east. About sev¬
en thousand acres of this variety and Mountain Iceberg were grown
in Utah and Idaho. Early shipments are from California, while
August, September and October shipments are from the mountains
of Utah and Idaho. Many points in the East grow head lettuce suc¬
cessfully for the market in early summer and southern points for
the winter market.

Description: New York Speeial or Dos Angeles Market Lettuce
grows large heads, often weighing 2 to 3 pounds, very solid head¬
ing. The outer leaves are an attractive green, broad and frilled
at the edges. The inner leaves fold over the top, forming a large,
compact head which is sweet and tender.

Iceberg Lettuce

LETTUCE ICEBERG.

This variety resembles New York Special but does not form
so solid a head. Iceberg is considered a better all season’s lettuce
because it will stand warmer weather than New York. If planted
later than March be sure to select dark, heavy soil, because the
heat reflected by light, sandy soil will burn the plants.

The heads are large, tender, and of excellent flavor.

Cantaloupes

Thirty years ago the total number of cars of cantaloupes
marketed throughout the United States probably did not exceed 100
cars. The business was then in its infancy. Today it has grown to
giant proportions and the value of the crop throughout the United
States represents a gross of nearly Fifty Million Dollars, and if
the value of the muskmelon crops of both home and market
gardens is added the total gross value would reach far greater
proportions.

Different sections of the country produce certain varieties to
better advantage than others.

The varieties most in demand for 1927 planting are for the Im¬
perial Valley of California: “Superfecto,” Hales Best and Pollock
10-25, with a preference for the first two sorts.

Fallon, Nevada, and many other western points: Hearts of
Gold; Las Cruces, New Mexico, and southern points: Burrell’s Gems.

Tennessee, Arkansas and other southern points: Hearts of
Gold and “Superfecto.”

New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland: Hearts of Gold, “Super¬
fecto” and Pollock 10-25.

Large local markets often prefer the larger melons. We sell
enough Tip Top around Los Angeles each year to plant 1,500 to
2,000 acres.

With all cantaloupes the customer develops an appetite and
buys regularly if the melons are always good, but poor melons
destroy the desire for melons and those who would be good buyers
turn to peaches and other fruits instead.

Growing Cantaloupes

The land should be a sandy loam, well supplied with humus.
A heavy oat stubble under is one of the first locations. Green
rye is apt to sour in the ground and give poor results. In the
young orchard sow vetch in the fall and turn it under two or
three weeks before time to plant the melons, and you have stored
up in the soil as much fertilizer value as you could purchase in
commercial fertilizers for $20 to $40 per acre and above this have
an abundance of humus. The orchard is benefited and you should
produce a profitable crop of melons.

Prepare a deep, finely pulverized and well settled seed bed.
Plant ten to twelve seeds to the hill, close together, if the soil is
inclined to crust, as one plant will help to the other raise the
crust, and the strongest should be left in thinning. Cover the seed
about 2 inches deep. If hills 4 feet each way, thin to one plant
when they have five to six leaves; if 6 feet each way, thin
to two plants to the hill.

Cultivate frequently, deep away from the plants, but shallow
close to them. When hoeing remove the crust from around the
plants and replace with fine, loose soil.

If under irrigation, they should be watered regularly about
every two weeks and the watering continued through the ripening
season to keep the vines thrifty. Many do not irrigate during the
ripening season with the result that after a couple of weeks the
melons ripen prematurely and are of poor quality.

Kill Striped Beetles and Aphis with Garden Gard.

Nearly the entire cantaloupe crop of the country is marketed
by specialists who distribute to the different markets, keeping close
wire connections with all, to be able to place the melons where
there is greatest distribution is a very important factor, but the
quality of the pack has most to do with the success of the grower.
If the melons are right, they always sell quickly and command
top prices. .

Salmon Tinted Pollock 10-25

This strain was developed from the Salmon Tinted Pollock
No. 25. The originators planted a large number of plants from
single melons and plat No. 10 produced this melon, which accounts
’ for the name.

32

VOGELER SEED COMPAjNY’1

The melons run from standard to Jumbo, packing in standard
crates and flats. This is an advantage, there being no pony
melons.

The melons are solidly netted, without ribs, very uniform in
size and shape, do not develop soft spots and can be picked
closer than other types of Rocky Fords.

The flesh is a rich salmon about two-thirds the depth, changing
to green near the rind. This color is very uniform.

Green Meated Honey Dew

During the fall of 1915 the first Honey Dew melons were placed
on the market and the product of slightly over two acres netted
thirty-six hundred dollars ($3,600.00) in the Chicago and New York
City markets.

The rind is a dull white when ripe. Part of the melons show
slight checks in the rind like a tendency to net. This appears
when the melon is ready to pick. Time of ripening, about two
weeks later than Rocky Fords.

The size runs six to seven inches in diameter from top to
bottom and eight inches in length. The matured melons are
practically all the same shape and size.

The flesh is a rich green and very sweet. The melon is a good
shipper and will keep several weeks, so there is practically no
loss from spoiled melons in shipping.

Watermelons

CULTURE

To successfully grow watermelons it is absolutely necessary
to have good seed. Then select proper soil and give it proper
cultivation and irrigation (if under irrigation) and if not prepare
the land to drain off or retain the moisture, depending upon
whether you get much or little rainfall, and the results are usually
very good.

34

VOGELER SEED COMPANY’!

Select a well-drained, sandy loam; new sod land is best; any
good loamy soil which is well drained is good.

If under irrigation run large furrows 8 feet apart and plant
the hills well up on the border 8 to 10 feet apart. Be careful
not to irrigate too often.

Watermelons are lovers of drouth and the finest melons are
grown under semi-arid conditions.

Plow deep and harrow well to make a fine seed bed. A liberal
coat of stable manure disked in before plowing will increase the
size and yield.

If not under irrigation, plow the land in ridges by first
throwing out a dead furrow, then back-furrowing into the dead
furrow four or five furrows from each side, and after thoroughly
harrowing plant on the center of the ridge.

Do most of the cultivating with the harrow, setting the teeth
straight and cultivate deep.

Keep a fine mulch on the surface and do not let any weeds
grow.

Plant ten to twelve seeds to the hill and thin to one plant
when they have five to six leaves.

If you use commercial fertilizer mix it thoroughly with the
soil around the hill, but do not leave any lumps under the hills
where the first roots will reach it, or it will burn the roots and
check the growth if not kill the plant.

Do not plant on land where melons were grown before, even
if four or five years before, if you have other good land. The
vines remove something from the soil not readily replaced, and fol¬
lowing crops usually produce deformed melons with black ends
or shriveled ends, even from the best of seeds, while the same
seed on adjoining land, where melons have not been grown before,
will produce large melons of the finest quality.

Do not press on melons to see if they are ripe. This injures
them and results in very poor melons. A slight thump with the
finger, if the sound rings clear and a high tone, indicates a green
melon; if a hollow, low! tone or rather dead tone, the melon is
ripe.

Usually the curl where the melon attaches to the vine dies
when the melon is ripe. By a little practice you can tell by the
color. A bright, growing color indicates a green melon; a dull
green indicates ripeness.

The Improved Kleckley Sweet are the finest flavored melons
and fair shippers up to 150 to 175 miles.

The New Tom Watson, Excel and Irish Gray and White Seeded
Angelino are the finest eating melons of the really good shippers.

The New Tom Watson

This large mottled green watermelon often weighs 50 to 60
pounds and averages on good soil over 30 pounds. It has won
place among the very first as a market melon. The flesh is deep
red and contains very few seeds, which are firmly bedded. It
is the leader, taking into consideration size, shipping and eat¬
ing quality. Our stocks are very carefully selected and we have
excellent seed to offer. Your orders will be placed where you
should get excellent results if you buy this seed from us. This

Vogeler’s Select Winter Queen

Winter queens are sometimes wrongly called Black Seeded
Icecream and as such a large acreage was grown in Washington,
where about 200' cars were sold at big prices by Japanese growers,
who would not tell where the seed could be obtained.

Winter Queens are nearly round, nearly white, with narrow
pale green stripes. The seeds are black and small. The flesh
deep red, very firm, stringless, sweet, and of excellent quality.
Ripen in about the same length of time as Kleckley Sweet, but
remain solid and of good quality two or three months and may
be kept until Christmas. They should be very profitable to ship
South after southern melons are gone but the weather is warm
and the appetite for watermelon lingers.

Vogeler’s Select Winter Queens have very thin tough rinds.
The flesh is sweet down to the last red portion. The seeds are
bedded firmly in the flesh — no cavity around them to allow them
to shake and cause decay.

Onions

In onion culture thorough preparation of the ground, careful
sowing and the best of after culture, though essential for a full
yield, will avail nothing unless seed of the best quality be used.
Given the same care and conditions, the product from two lots
of onion seed of the same variety but of different quality may be
so unequal in the quantity of merchantable onions that it would
be more profitable to use the good seed though it cost twenty times
as much as the other. The seed we offer is the best obtainable.
Although onions are often raised from sets and from division, by
far the best and cheapest mode of production is from seed. The
facility with which seed is sown and the superior bulbs it pro¬
duces, recommend it for general use.

How to Raise Onions

THE SOIL. A crop of onions can be grown on any soil which
will produce a full crop of corn, but on a stiff clay, very light sand
or gravel, or on some muck or swamp lands, neither a large nor
a very profitable crop can be grown. We prefer a rich loam with
a slight mixture of clay. This is much better if it has been cul¬
tivated with hoed crops, kept clean from weeds and well-manured
for two years previous, because if a sufficient quantity of manure
to raise an ordinary soil to a proper degree of fertility is applied
at once, it is likely to make the onions soft. The same result
will follow if we sow on rank mucky ground or on that which
is too wet.

MANURING. There is no crop in which a liberal use of
manure is more essential than in this, and it should be of the best
quality, well fermented and shoveled over at least twice during
the previous summer to kill weed seeds. If rank, fresh manure

ESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE

37

is used, it is liable to result in soft bulbs with many scallions.
Of the commercial manures, any of the highgrade, complete fertil¬
izers are good for ordinary soils, and even very rich soils are
frequently greatly benefited by fine ground bone, and mucky
ones by a liberal dressing of wood ashes.

PREPARATION. Remove all refuse of previous crops in time
to complete the work before the ground freezes up and spread the
composed manure evenly at the rate of about twenty tons to
the acre. This should first be disked in and then the ground
ploughed a moderate depth, taking a narrow furrow in order to
thoroughly mix the manure with the soil. Carefully avoid tramp¬
ing on the ground during the winter. Disc thoroughly as early
in the spring as it can be worked, after which the entire surface
should be made fine and level with a smoothing harrow. It is
impossible to cultivate the crop economically unless the rows are
perfectly straight.

SOWING THE SEED. This should be done as soon as the
ground can be made ready and can be done best by a hand seed
drill. This should be carefully adjusted to sow the desired
quantity of seed about one-half inch deep. The quantity needed
will vary with the soil, the seed bed and the kind of onions de¬
sired. Thin seeding gives much larger onions than thick seeding.
Four or five pounds per acre is the usual quantity needed to grow
large onions.

CULTIVATION. Give the onions the first hoeing, just skim¬
ming the ground between the rows as soon as they can be seen
in the row. Hoe again in a few days, this time close up to the
plants, after which weeding must be begun. This operation must
be carefully and thoroughly done. The weeder must work on his
knees astride the row, stirring the earth around the plants, in
order to destroy any weeds that have just started. At this
weeding or the next, according to the size of the plants, the rows
should be thinned, leaving from eight to twelve plants to the
foot. In ten days or two weeks they will require another hoeing
and weeding similar to the last, and two weeks later give them
still another hoeing and if necessary another weeding. If the work
has been thoroughly done at the proper time the crop will not
require further care until ready to gather.

GATHERING. As soon as the tops die and fall, the bulbs
should be gathered into windrows. If the weather is fine they
will need no attention while curing, but if it is not they will
need to be stirred by simply moving them slightly along the
row. Cut off the tops when perfectly dry, about half an inch
from the bulb, and then after a few days of bright weather
the onions will be fit to store for winter.

It will not do to store onions in large piles or masses, par¬
ticularly in warm weather, or if they are the least moist, but
if perfectly dry when gathered and they are spread not to ex¬
ceed two feet in depth, they can be kept in fine condition till
spring. Any arrangement will answer that will keep them dry
and at a uniform temperature of about 32 degrees Fahrenheit,
or they may be kept frozen, care being taken not to disturb
them. They should be thawed gradually. Repeated freezing and
thawing will spoil them.

If bothered with thrip (a small insect which sometimes at¬
tacks onions, doing great damage), use Garden Gard. Three dust¬
ings will usually completely control them.

Very early onions are grown by the transplanting method, the
seed being sown in frames or beds and the small onions trans¬
planted when the size of small lead pencils to the field rows.

Pumpkins

HOW TO GROW PUMPKINS

Select a very fertile location and plant the hills eight feet
apart each way, 6 to 8 seeds to the hill. Thin to one plant to the
hill when the plants have 5 or 6 leaves. Cultivate often and
keep free of weeds. Best results are obtained where grown
alone. A good rule is Pumpkins for the pumpkin patch and
corn for the cornfield. Grow a good stand of pumpkins and don’t
raise corn among the pumpkins. The pumpkins hinder the corn
and the corn hinders the pumpkins. Dust with Garden Gard.

Peas

For very early peas the soil should be light and warm. Pre¬
pare the seed bed in the fall and plant as early in the spring as
the soil ean be worked.. It is best to double rows about six inches
apart and then leave a space of thirty inches to the next double
row. Do not plant in heavy, sticky soil, as the seed will rot be¬
fore germinating. For first early plant Alaska and follow with
Nott’s Excelsior and Stratagem for late or main crop. These three
make as good a combination as we believe can be had. The Alaskas
produce very early and nearly the whole crop in one or two pick¬
ings. Nott’s Excelsior are then ready. These sweet wrinkled
peas yield heavy crops of fine quality and before they are gone
the Stratagems, producing long, dark green pods well filled with
large peas of quality equal to the best, are ready. Many make too
small planting of peas. Plant plenty. They are very fine food and

Sweet Peas

A Few Rules for the Successful
Cultivation of Sweet Peas

Early in the spring make a trench about six inches deep, in
rich, mellow soil, so arranged that no water can stand in it, and
plant the seed in the bottom, taking care not to cover it more
than two inches. When the plants are about five inches high,
fill up the trench, and furnish some support for the vines to run
upon. The plants should not be raised for two successive seasons
upon the same ground.

Sweet Peas should not be planted on the same ground after
Culinary Peas.

Excessive manuring with stable manure in the row im¬
mediately before sowing the seed is not desirable. Ground in¬
tended for Sweet Peas, if not left in good condition after taking
the last crop, will be better for manuring the previous fall
rather than at the spring seeding.

The use of artificial fertilizers, bone meal, nitrate of soda,
etc., can be made in spring at the time of planting or soon after.

Thin sowing, by which is meant planting the seeds from four
to six inches apart, is conducive to vigor and strength of the
plants, which come later into bloom, but continue much longer
than the plants from thick seeding.

Frequent stirring of the soil with hoe or cultivator in dry
weather, thus producing a dust mulch, is preferable to artificial
watering, unless irrigation facilities afford opportunities for a
regular and abundant irrigation system.

Spencer Varieties

This group includes the largest and most beautifully formed
sweet peas. The Spencers have very large waved flowers which
are produced abundantly on long strong stems, making the blossoms
most desirable for cutting. The plants of Spencer varieties when
grown outdoors are usually in bloom much longer than other
sweet peas, as most of the blossoms fall off after maturity
without setting pods.

Salvia (Scarlet Sage)

Three feet. A standard bedding- plant that keeps the garden
bright with color until late in the autumn. This plant lends itself
to many uses; it makes a good pot plant, does well in window
boxes, and is useful for cutting to give color. Its best use,
however, is a hedge or border plant, where long, broad bands
of intense color are desirable. Splendens, pkt. 10c; oz. $2.00.

Stocks

The Stocks as now grown are indispensable where a fine
display of flowers is wanted. To such perfection has selection
brought them that good seed will give a large proportion of
flowers as double and as large as the named sorts grown from
cuttings.

Cut and Come Again, mixed. Pkt. 10c.

Sunflower

DOUBLE CHRYSANTHEMUM FLOWERED. The most at¬
tractive of the very double sunflowers. Plant tall, growing seven
feet high and blooming profusely all summer. Flowers very large,
often eight to ten inches across, very double, with long fringed
petals and resemble chrysanthemums. The color is a splendid,
rich, golden-yellow, free from any black center.

Flower are very conspicuous in beds and borders, and are very
useful in making bouquets. Sow the seed early in hot-beds, and
while the plants are small, prick them out in pots and sink the
pots in the earth. On approach of cold weather remove the
pots to the house, and the plants will bloom all winter. Tender

Summer Flowering Bulbs

Gladiolus

A delightful flower for the home garden. It grows from
bulbs which increase in number from year to year. Plant them
in shallow furrows any time in late April, May or June. Then
keep the weeds down and the garden stirred occasionally. That
is all there is to it except the cutting of the great spikes of
wonderful lily-like blooms which last ten days to two weeks in
water. Dig up the bulbs in late fall and carry them over winter
like potatoes in your cellar. Gladioli are just the flower for the
renter. One can always move bulbs. Remember we pay trans¬
portation on all stock you order.

FANCY MIXED. A really superb blend of the finer sorts
showing almost every shade and marking to be found in Gladioli.
Try a hundred of these, planting in four lots at intervals of two
weeks. They will give a succession of flowers for cutting from
late July until frost and you will find more bulbs than you
planted when you come to dig in November.

Field Corn for Ensilage.

Of all the crops useful for ensilage, Corn is the most largely
used and without doubt the most profitable. Alive to this situation,
we have made Ensilage Corn a specialty and we are now able to
offer our customers the most profitable varieties adapted to
the climatic conditions of various sections of the West.

Generally speaking, the seed should be sown in drills 3 feet
apart, using 15 to 40 pounds of seed per acre, depending not
only on the soil, but also for the purpose for which the silage
is to be used. Whenever less grain and more bulk is desired,
more seed may be planted to the acre, giving a greater amount
of leaf and stalk but less ear corn.

Silo Corn No. 1— 1 This variety is the heaviest yielding corn
for ensilage yet introduced. It is positively the earliest of the
tall-growing large yellow Dent corn in cultivation. A selection
from Improved Learning and will mature its grain in 100 days,
even under unfavorable conditions; and about 90 days where
climatic conditions are suitable. You will never regret giving
it a trial this year. See below for price.

Australian White Flint (90 days)-— The earliest and surest
variety. Will endure more drouth and cold than any other variety
known. Grows to a height of six to ten feet. Price, see below.

Improved Learning — Ripens in 90 to 100 days from planting.
It is extra early, and not a hard flinty corn. Price, see below.

Minnesota No. 13 — The ears are of handsome appearance bear¬
ing 16 to 20 rows of bright, rich yellow, smooth, wedge-shaped
kernels packed closely on the cob from butt to tip. Matures in
ninety days.

King of Earlies — An exceptionally early Dent variety. Stalks
of medium height with broad leaves. For cold valleys where
the seasons are short it cannot be heat.

VOGELER SEED COMPAN

ALFALFA OR LUCERNE

The most valuable forage plant, particularly adapted for our
W)estern climate and soil. It requires a deep, mellow soil; newly
broken sod does not do so well. It thrives best on a sandy loam
(the richer the better), while it has proved a success on heavy,
compact clay soil. In the dryest and most sultry weather, when
every blade of grass withers. Alfalfa is as fresh and green as in
the spring, as its roots go down from ten to twenty feet to the
moisture of the ground. Although a prodigious yielder, it does not
exhaust the soil, but rather improves the ground by the decay of
its long roots, and converts it into rich ground, full of vegetable
matter. The seed may be sown early in the spring (as soon as the
frost is out of the ground), in order to catch the spring rains, as
it needs moisture to germinate. In localities where irrigation is
used, it can be sown at any time during the summer months. Never
sow less than fifteen lbs. of good clean seed to the acre, for
thin sowing produces thick and coarst stalks, not relished by
stock. Lb. 35c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs §3.00; 100 lbs. market
price.. For larger lots write for prices.

Alfalfa Grimmj — This variety is especially recommended for
shallow soils or those underlaid with hardpan. The claim is made
for it that in addition to extreme hardiness it has spreading roots
instead of a single tap-root and that it makes underground
creeping stems. Lb. 55c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs. §5.00; 100
lbs., market price.

Alsike Clover (Swedish Hybrid)— Is recommended both for
sowing with Timiothy and also with the Red and Mammoth Clovers,
as well as for a hay crop by itself. It does not winter-kill.
The use of Swedish Alsike Clover is increasing rapidly; cattle
prefer it to other clovers. It is very fine for honey bees. Sow
at the rate of six or eight lbs. per acre; sown in mixture, five or
six lbs. per acre is sufficient. Lb. 45c, postpaid. Not prepaid,
10 lbs. §4.00; 100 lbs., market price.

Sweet Clover or Bokhara (Melilotus Alba) White Blossom —
As a moneymaker this has been rightfully named “Alfalfa’s twin
sister.’’ Its value in the redemption of alkaline lands cannot be
over-estimated. It grows in a variety of soils — heavy, light, wet
or dry, almost anywhere except in acid soil. Sow at the rate
of 10 to 15 lbs. per acre. Cover the seed very lightly. Lb. 35c,
postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs. §2.25; 100 lbs., market price.

Yellow Blossom (Melilotus Officinalis) — Same family as White
Blossom Sweet Clover but it is not so prolific in growth and
flowers are yellow instead of white. For bee pasture we believe
it to be equally valuable. Lb. 35c, postpaid. Not postpaid, 10 lbs.
§2.50; 100 lbs., market price.

Medium Bed Clover (Trifolloum Pratense) — It is sometimes

called June Clover, and is a dependable, all-round variety for farm¬
ers and stockmen. It makes two crops each year. Sow either in
the spring or fall at the rate of 15 lbs. to the acre. Lb. 50c, post¬
paid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs. §4.00.

White or Dutch— A small, creeping perennial variety, valuable
for pasturage and for lawns. It accommodates itself to a variety
of soils, but prefers moist ground. Being very hardy and of a
creeping habit, it will also prevent the ground from being washed
by heavy rains. It is rarely sown alone, but used mainly for
sowing with other grass seeds, especially Blue Grass, to obtain
permanent pastures. Sow in the spring, at the rate of six lbs.
per acre, or when used with other grasses, half that amount.

Lb. 80c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs. §7.00; for larger lots

GRASS AND CLOVER SEED MIXTURES

For Permanent Meadows and Pastures.

Our well-balanced mixtures are made up of a number of
native and acclimated grasses and clovers, blended in such a
way as to best suite the climatic and soil conditions found in
our intermountain regions. We have aimed in these splendid

turage. With these mixtures and with the proper kinds of
dairy cows, it is possible to realize at least one hundred and
fifty dollars per acre annually from every acre that has been
carefully seeded and attended to.

LAWN MAKING

The essentials for a fine lawn are: First, a rich well-drained
soil; second, careful preparation of the ground, making it as
fine and smooth and mellow as possible; third, a wise selection
of seeds; fourth, sowing at such a time as to give the young plants
a chance to become well established before being subjected to
very dry or very cold weather. However much care is bestowed
on the soil and seed, no lawn will be beautiful without frequent
mowing and rolling. Too much care cannot be bestowed upon
the selection of grasses, as some varieties are the most luxuriant
in spring, others in summer, others again in autumn, and a com¬
bination of the proper sorts is required for a perfect, carpet¬
like lawn.

It may be planted early in spring, or fall, and should be sown
at the rate of 80 to 100 lbs. per acre; much more is required than
for hay or pasturage. If sown in the spring, sow as early as
possible, making the surface very fine and smooth, then raking it
over and sowing the seed just before a rain, which, if the surface
has just been raked, will cover the seed sufficiently. If the ex¬
pected rain does not come, cover by rolling with a light roller.
If sown in the fall, sow before the autumn rains have ceased,
and before very cold weather give the young grass a light dress¬
ing of commercial fertilizer or sheep manure.

Fertilizer for tbe Lawns — For many years it was the custom
each year to spread a dressing of stable manure upon the lawn to
add food to replenish the store taken up during the season’s growth.
It was a wise measure as far as it went but the invariable result
was a fresh and numerous crop of weeds from seed carried in
the manure and the good was nullified by the fight to kill the
weeds. Commercial fertilizers are now used and with much better
effect. Ideal lawn dressings are Bone Meal, or pulverized sheep
manure.

If the lawn is kept clipped fairly short, it will not be neces¬
sary to rake the clippings, but they may be allowed to remain
where cut and will be washed down among the roots by the rain
and furnish a mulch which will be valuable in the hot, drying
days of summer. If, however, the grass has been allowed to get
so long that a considerable length must be cut, it must be raked.
Only the fine clippings should be left upon the lawn. These fine
clippings again go back into the soil in time and add humus.

City Park Lawn Mixture— The best lawn seed experience can
suggest or that money can buy. Produces a beautiful, permanent
lawn in 4 to 6 weeks. Sow at the rate of 1 lb. to 200 square feet.
Lb. 80c; 3 lbs. $3.00, postpaid. Not prepaid, lb. 70c; 10 lbs. $©,50.

EVER GREEN

NON-POISONOUS INSECTICIDE

KILLS PLANT INSECTS — Ever Green is recommended for kill¬
ing a wide variety of plant insects. It will do the work of most
all others combined. Here are just a few of the insects on
which it has been tested and proved —

Plant Lice
Cabbage Worms
Cut-Worms
Cucumber Beetle
Thrips

Rose Slugs
Rose Chafer
Squash Beetles
Red Spider
Currant Worm

Mealy Bugs
Leaf Hoppers
Potato Beetles
Japanese Beetles

NON-POISONOUS — Ever Green is absolutely harmless to hu¬
mans, animals and birds. It kills only insects. No danger of
poisoning with Ever Green around the house. Vegetables and
fruits sprayed with arsenic retain the poison despite several
washings. An acid wash is the only sure method of removing
arsenic. Undoubtedly a large proportion of acute stomach ill¬
ness is caused by eating arsenic on such produce as celery,
cabbage, apples, lettuce and berries. Vegetables and fruits
sprayed with Ever Green do not require special washings.

WON’T INJURE TENDER PLANTS — Roses, for example, may
be sprayed while blooming, without fear of injury. Delicate
crops, such as celery, etc., may be sprayed as often as desired.
Ever Green won’t wither, “burn” or wilt them no matter if
used at the strongest concentrations.

Neither will it poison the soil as many arsenical insecticides do.

OTHER ADVANTAGES — Ever Green has a pleasant odor — be¬
ing liquid, it is easy to mix and stays in solution without being
stirred. It is highly concentrated — therefore economical. (1
gallon makes 800 gallons of spray against plant lice) — won’t
injure clothing nor attack metal or rubber — can be used with
any sprayer.

WHO NEEDS EVER GREEN? — Everyone who grows plants,
shrubs, vegetables, fruits or flowers, either for personal satis¬
faction or for commercial purposes has long needed such an
insecticide. People only need to understand what it will do —
and to try it once — to become steady users.

Many of these people won’t have poison in their homes.
Others have had their flowers and plants ruined by insecticides
containing caustic or other injurious ingredients. Ever Green
is non-poisonous and non-caustic.

Soil Builders and Fertilizers

crops at a cost of a few cents. Specify crop and number of
bushels you wish to inoculate; or, order by number, giving size
or sizes. The can unit designations are on the bushel basis; for
example, the 1 bu. size contains sufficient culture to thoroughly
inoculate 1 bu. legume seed, any variety. % bu. 35c; % bu. 60c;
