Non-Warranty — Most of the failures with seeds are due to causes entirely beyond our con¬ trol, such as unfavorable weather or soil conditions, too deep or too shallow planting, etc., which renders it impossible for us to guarantee success, and although we take all possible care to supply only such goods as will, under proper conditions, produce satisfactory results, we still give no warranty as to description, quality or productiveness of any of the seeds we send out, and will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods under these conditions, they are to be at once returned.

WE DO NOT GUARANTEE REPLACEMENT OF GOODS SENT BY MAIL. An ad¬ ditional remittance of five cents will insure any mail package.

ONION PLANTS

Ready for shipment after March 1st

NOW YOU CAN HAVE BERMUDA ON¬ IONS IN YOUR OWN GARDEN. Because of the long ripening season necessary to ma¬ ture Bermuda Onions it has been impossible in the past to raise this delicious onion in Western gardens. Raising a crop from seed was impossible. Now plants are available for resetting and it is possible to grow the “finest and sweetest onion” of them all in your own garden. Plants are no longer an experi¬ ment, they will grow perfectly in every lo¬ cality. Our plants will make early green on¬ ions for pulling and LARGE, SWEET MA¬ TURED ONIONS for the table or market. One thousand plants will produce 8 to 10 bush¬ els of dried onions. Our plants are sure to grow.

Vegetable Seeds

Dwarf or Bush Beans

One pound will plant a row 100 feet long; about 1*4 bushels to the acre.

HOW TO GROW DWARF or BUSH BEANS— Make the rows 18 inches or 2 feet apart, and drop the beans 4 inches apart in the row. If the soil is warm and loose, plant 2 inches deep; if rather cold and wet plant only one inch deep. Beans, especially the yellow-podded varieties, will rot very easily if planted when ‘the soil is wet and the atmosphere is cold. If you do not want to run the risk of replanting them, do not plant your beans until the soil is warm. Cultivate often but never when the plants are wet, as this brings on rust. Pick the beans as fast as they become fit for use; this makes them bear longer.

Green Podded Varieties

Unless otherwise noted

Prices postpaid. Pkt. 10c; x/i lb. 20c; 1

lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.00, f. o. b. Medford.

MONARCH IMPROVED STRINGLESS GREEN-POD — A very desirable dwarf green-podded sort for home garden and largely grown for the market. Plants are large, spreading and productive. Pods are medium green, 5 to 6 inches long, cylindri¬ cal, of high quality and remain crisp and tender a long time. Seeds are of a me¬ dium size and length and brown. Second to none as a home garden bean. Pkt. 20c; i/2 lb. 30c; 1 lb. 50c.

EXTRA EARLY REFUGEE— Medium sized round light green pods of good quality. Early and of good flavor. Plants are a lit¬ tle smaller, more upright and the leaves larger than those of the late Refugee. Our stock is uniform, the vines ripening pods well together and long before those of Refugee or Thousand to One. This is an excellent snap bean for early market and stands shipment well.

REFUGEE or 1G00-TO-1 — Our Selected Strain. If there is a dwarf bean so pro¬ lific as our selection of Refugee we have never found it. As many as 150 pods are found on one vine. These pods are long and green, becoming lighter in color as they mature. Not an extra early bean, but a hardy one and an extra heavy bear¬ er. The quality is good. Grown widely for market, because it is profitable. Not entirely stringless.

EXTRA EARLY RED VALENTINE— A popular variety; erect vine with dark green leaves. Pods of medium length; fleshy, round and saddle-backed, with only slight strings.

Wax or Yellow Podded

Monarch Golden Wax A verY pop¬ lar v a r 1 ety. The plants are hardy and very produc¬ tive. Pods are long, nearly straight, broad and flat, and golden yellow; seed white, more or less covered with two shades of purplish red. None will be found better in all ways than our selec¬ tion of Golden Wax.

Monarch Improved Stringless Green Pod

DAVIS WHITE WAX— An extremely hardy, productive, white-seeded, wax-podded sort. You can’t go wrong on this fine bean. A good shell bean.

IMPROVED PROLIFIC DWARF BLACK

WAX — Dwarf bush growth and very pro¬ lific. One of the earliest. Pods 4 to 5 inches long, usually curved, quite round; meaty, brittle and stringless; deep golden yellow of excellent flavor.

Jack Morris, gar¬ dener of Talent, Ore¬ gon, says: "I’m cer¬ tainly pleased with Monarch seeds. Every lot of seed I pur¬ chased proved to be first-class in every respect.”

To the left is a pic¬ ture of Jack proudly displaying a Purple Top White Globe Tur¬ nip raised from our seed. A perfect speci¬ men and Jack had a big crop of turnips just like the one pic¬ tured.

Pole or Running Varieties

Prices postpaid, pkt. 10c; /2 lb. 25c; 1 lb. 45c; 10 lbs. $3.50, unless otherwise noted.

CULTURE — Oue pound will plant 50 hills, 30 pounds per acre. The soil should be mellow, rich and warm. Lay the ground out in hills 4 feet apart each way, and set poles 8 to 10 feet long firmly in the hills before planting the seed. Plant 5 or 6 beans in a hill and cover about 2 inches deep; leave three plants at each pole, and when a few inches high draw a little earth around them as support. Set the poles before the plants have grown to large size; many gardeners consider it an advantage to set the poles when planting, thus avoiding disturbing the small plant or its roots.

STIMUGERM

London Horticultural or Speckled Cranberry Dean

LONDON HORTICULTURAL or SPECKLED CRANBERRY— One of the best of the Horticultural varieties as a general purpose late green shell bean for home or market. The vines are moder¬ ately vigorous with large, light colored leaves. The pods are medium length, four and one-half to five and one-half inches, pale green when young, becoming as they mature yellowish green striped or splashed with red. The beans are large, ovate, flesh colored, splashed and spotted with wine-red and of the highest quality, either green or dry. Many like this sort better than limas. Pkt. 15c; Vi lb. 30c; lb. 50c.

MONARCH KENTUCKY WONDER WAX —This vigorous wax podded pole bean is similar to the green Kentucky Wonder, but the pods are a trifle broader and stringless. If you have never tried this pole bean, do so as it is worthy of space in your garden. Pkt. 10c; V2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c.

SCARLET RUNNER — Very popular Eng¬

lish pole bean; free climber. Attractive as a porch or trellis climber.

KENTUCKY WONDER OR OLD HOME¬ STEAD — A vigorous climber; very pro¬ lific, bearing in clusters extremely long and very fleshy; succulent pods, flat, thick and remarkably tender. A main cannery stock bean.

NAVY BEANS — A small white bean grown and harvested as a dry bean. This is the most popular of the dry beans. Dwarf, field bean. Per lb. 35c.

OREGON GIANT GREEN POD— Pods measing 10 to 12 inches are stringless, tender and crisp de¬ liciously flavored. Oregon Giant is a strong grower and yields heavily, bearing its enormous pods in great clusters. The color is a light green¬ ish yellow, splashed red. Pkt. 20c; l/2 lb. 35c; lb. 60c; postpaid.

Lima Beans

Prices postpaid, Pkt. 15c; /2 lb. 35c; 1 lb. 60c.

KING OF THE GARDEN — One of the best and most popular main crop varieties. It is medium early and has very long pods, 5^4 to 6^ inches long, which are well filled with four or five good-sized beans. A climber.

OREGON POLE — An excellent variety for Southern Oregon and Northern California. Strong, vigorous grower. In July the blooms come in long panicles from the top shoots and the large, broad pods are freely pro¬ duced until frost. They are in “prime” condition when the pods begin to turn yellow. Acclimated seed. A climber.

BURPEE’S BUSH LIMA— They grow into branching circular bushes, 18 to 20 inches high and 2 to 3 feet across. The strong constitution of the plant is shown in its stout, thick stalks and large, deep green, leath¬ ery leaves, as much as in its enormous yield of thick, broad, handsome pods, which are as large and well filled as those of the Pole Limas.

Beets

CULTURE — Well enriched, light soil is best adapted for the culture of beets. Sow in drills 1 foot apart and cover half inch. It is important that the earth be pressed firmly about the seed. When the plants are large enough, thin to 4 inches apart. Use thinnings for greens if desired. For early crop, sow as soon as the ground can be worked, and continue for succession until the first of July. Liberal manuring should be done for Mangels and Sugar Beets. They should stand 10 to 12 inches apart in the rows.

Monarch Detroit Dark Red This is one

of the best

for market and home garden, and on account of its uniformly deep rich color the most de¬ sirable for canning. The roots are medium sized, globular, very smooth and dark blood red color. A desirable variety for bunching. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; Va lb. 40c; 1 lb. $1.00.

EXTRA EARLY EGYPTIAN — A blood turnip beet, excellent for first early crop outdoors. The roots are very dark red, moderately thick, a little rounded on top, and flat on the bottom and about two inches in diameter when mature. Flesh, dark, purplish red zoned lighter shade; firm, crisp and tender. Popular for market gardeners but not as desirable for home gar¬ den as some of the later sorts. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; Va lb. 40c; 1 lb. $1.00.

Cabbage

CULTURE — The earliest cabbages may be enjoyed in May from seeds sown in the house or hot¬ bed. Early Jersey Wakefield matures in 90 days, and later varieties in 100 to 115 days. Both early and mid-season varieties should be started in house or hot-bed, and for late or Fall varie¬ ties sow the seed in the seed bed in May and early June. Plenty of room should be given plants, at least two feet each way. They need a light and well watered soil, rich in nitrogen. Frequent applications of nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia or some other nitrogenous fertilizer will work wonders. Cabbage worms may be kept off by dusting with our Sulfo-Lead dust or spraying with arsenate of lead.

FIRST EARLY SORTS

Monarch Copenhagen Market

SPECIAL STRAIN — Heads average around ten pounds each in weight, are hard and solid with small core. Quality is extra fine and sweet; matures early as Wake¬ field and yields more per acre in weight. It is a short stemmed variety, the heads nearly resting on the ground. Leaves are light green, rather small, saucer-shaped and tightly folded, making it possible to set them close together in the field. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; Va lb. $1.25; lb. $3.75.

EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD — The best early variety. Heads of medium size, py- ramidical, pointed, firm and solid, with few outside leaves; very uniform in shape, size and time of maturing; excellent for market. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; Va lb. $1.00; 1 lb. $3.25.

EARLY WINNINGSTADT— A sugar-loaf va¬ riety some three weeks later than the earl¬ ier sorts; grows to a good size and does bet¬ ter than other sorts on light soil. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; Va lb. $1.25; 1 lb. $3.75.

EARLY DWARF FLAT DUTCH— Everyone knows its quality. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; Va lb. $1.25; 1 lb. $3.75.

LATE SORTS

GIANT LATE FLAT DUTCH— This is superior to any other late cabbage in cultivation. It possesses all the good qualities of the Late Flat Dutch of popular favor, but attains greater size and weight and is a sure head¬ er. Flattish round heads, very solid and firm; has rather tall stout stem. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; Va lb. $1.25; 1 lb. $3.75.

DANISH BALLHEAD or HOLLANDER — A very late variety forming globular heads; very hard and solid. Keeps well and is a good shipper. Color bluish- green. Pkt. 10c, oz. 35c; Va lb. $1.25; lb. $3.75.

DaniHb Jttallhead MAMMOTH

ROCK RED—

Golden Acre Cabbage

(Matures in 70 days.)

This popular variety continues to be the favorite. Golden Acre is valuable because of these features; extreme ear¬ liness, uniform size and development, with desirable firmness characteristic of later sorts; extra hardiness which maintains perfect condition a long time in the field and on far shipments or in storage. Heads are of medium size, round and very firm. Matures 5 to 7 days earlier than Copenhagen Market or Early Jersey Wakefield. Because of the absence of an abundance of outer leaves Golden Acre can be planted closer in the field which means greater tonnage at harvest time. Pkt. 15c; oz. 60c; % lb. $2.00; lb. $6.00; postpaid.

We sell thousands of Cabbage plants each season. Write for prices.

Brussels Sprouts

Cucumbers

CULTURE — Reasonably good soil that Is fully exposed to the sun will raise a good crop of Cucumbers. Every family should be supplied from its home garden, since the fruit is so much bet¬ ter when gathered fresh from the vines as desired for use than it is in the more or less wilted con¬ dition in which it is found on the market. Cucumbers are close relatives of melons but mature in about 60 days and may be brought to maturity with little trouble in the home garden. The seeds must be sown after the ground becomes warm, and the plants thinned to three or four to the hill. A very rich soil is the best precaution against Insects and the blight The striped beetle should be kept away from the young plants with liberal applications of powdered arsenate of lead or oui SULFO-LEAD DUST. Dust the under side of the leaves with NICO-DUST to kill aphis.

Lettuce

C L JLT L Kli« — Lettuce to be at its best should be grown rapidly, hence the soil should be made as rich and friable as possible by liberal manuring and thorough preparation. For general crops sow outdoors as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, in drills 18 inches apart and thin the young plants to four inches apart in the row. As the plants begin to crowd, thin them out and use as required. For the cabbage or heading varieties where large heads are desired, the plants should be thinned ten to twelve inches apart in the row. Varieties marked “A” are par¬ ticularly adapted for early spring use, those marked “B” for summer culture or late fall planting

Muskmelons

CULTURE — Plant in hills 4 to 6 feet apart each way after danger of frost is past and ground Is warm; enrich well with well-rotted manure and plant seeds just under the surface, putting ten or twelve seeds in a hill covering about an inch deep with fine soil firmly pressed down. When the

plants begin to crowd and the striped beet les are pretty well gone, thin to four of the most vig¬ orous plants in a hill. Give frequent but shallow cultivation until plants make runners too long

for practical work. Rich earth is far preferable to manure, and if manure is used be sure it is

well rotted and well mixed with the soil. Use NICO-DUST for melon aphis and for beetles, dust with finely sifted ashes or road dust.

WRITE FOR PRICES. It is impossible for us to quote an established price at time of Suing to press. Markets are continuously changing. Better Clover or Alfalfa seed cannot be found anywhere than the stocks we are able to supply. WE BUY THE BEST FOR YOU.

Mountain Grown Chilean Alfalfa

This is the long-rooted Chilean Alfalfa that comes to us from Surprise Valley in North¬ eastern California where the seed is grown at a high altitude and where old stands that have withstood the severest kind of weather produce the best seed obtainable today. This seed comes from Pioneer stands that have been producing seed for years. It is the long-lived Chilean Alfalfa which will produce for you for years after hot-climate seed has been plowed up. Write for quantity prices. Lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.25, postage paid.

GRIMM ALFALFA — This is the hardiest alfalfa grown. It survives killing winter freezes, where the Common and other types perish. However, it has been found that in a mild climate it has no advantage over Common, except in shallow soils. It will outyield many varieties in shallow soils that are somewhat dry. The price is high, but due to the fact that Grimm is sown only 8 or 10 pounds per acre, it figures practically on a level with lower priced varie¬ ties. Write for quantity prices. Lb. 55c; 10 lbs. $5.00, postpaid.

WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER — Grows 3 to 5 ft. high, covered with small white lowers of great fragrance. A great bee plant and an excellent clover for pasture. Used quite ex¬ tensively for orchard plantings for the humus and nitrogen it stores in the soils. We offer scarified seed. Scarified seed germinates more readily and inasmuch as sweet clover has a very hard seed coat it is advisable to plant scarified seed to insure a good stand. Write for quantity prices. Lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.50, postpaid.

Here’s what William Lewis, prominent sheepman of Southern Oregon, has to say about Sweet Clover for pasture purposes:

“We pastured 100 head of ewes and their lambs totaling 208 head on 14 acres all summer. One cutting was taken off for hay. There was so much pasture accumu¬ lating that 295 extra sheep were put on the field for twenty-seven days. This pas¬ ture was on pumice soil which was sub-irrigated. I never saw the beat in all my life.”

“No luck with Alfalfa? Inoculate your seed with HUMOGERM and get a fine sturdy stand.**

Hardy Mountain Grown

CHILEAN

<y,A!JTl! ALFALFA SEED

Like produces like. Especially is this true of seeds. Many farmers think that any old seed is good enough as long as it will grow. Such is far from the truth. In the case of Alfalfa Seed, the length of time your stand produces heavy and profitable crops determines the worth of the seed you buy. There is only one true strain of common or Chilean alfalfa seed and if you buy the “real thing” it will not be necessary to plow up your stand after the first two or three years and reseed.

Through field mixing, Chilean Al¬ falfa Seed has practically lost its identity. Planted beside fields of Hairy Peruvian, Turkestan and other varieties, alfalfa seed today is not of a true strain unless purchased from districts where these short-lived, light producing and less hardy strains are not tolerated. We offer a true strain of Chilean Alfalfa seed in our Hardy, Mountain-grown seed. We believe it to be the best seed that money will buy. Coming to us direct from the grower who has been supplying us for the past fifteen years, we have found it to be of a quality that stands head and shoulders above any other seed obtainable on today’s market.

Surprise Valley

OUR PRIZE WINNING HARDY, MOUNTAIN GROWN ALFALFA SEED is grown in a mountainous valley in Northeastern California, where winter snows and freezes subject the fields to the most rigorous tests and where the altitude will permit only the most hardy alfalfas to survive. Our Mountain Grown Alfalfa Seed is proved seed. It will produce profitable stands for years. If you plant our seed it will not be necessary for you to plow up the stand and replant after two or three years. To prove the long- lived character of this seed let us add that there are stands on the farm from which our seed is obtained which have been producing heavy crops of hay and seed for the past thirty years. Isn’t this proof enough that it will endure and proof also that fields planted to our MOUNTAIN GROWN ALFALFA SEED will outlive those fields planted to intermixed varieties of alfalfa?

Ladino Clover

THE GREATEST PASTURE CLOVER GROWN

LADINO CLOVER WILL PASTURE MORE CATTLE THAN ANY OTHER VARIETY OF CLOVER WE KNOW OF. LADINO IS A PERENNIAL WHITE CLOVER THAT GROWS FROM 12 to 18 INCHES TALL PRODUCING A MOST PALATABLE FORAGE FOR CAT¬ TLE, SHEEP AND HOGS. LADINO INCREASES MILK FLOW, IMPROVES THE SOIL, WILL THRIVE ON SHALLOW MOIST SOILS AND IS THE FIRST CLOVER TO AWAKEN IN THE SPRING AND THE LAST PLANT TO QUIT IN THE FALL. Ladino should be sown in the spring for best results. Prepare the soil early and have it in readiness for sowing. The application of sulphur or gypsum to the soil will quicken the young growth and promote a heavier and sturdier stand. Sow 6 pounds of seed per acre, harrowing in lightly. It is not necessary to grow a nurse crop with Ladino, although many growers plant Rye Grass, Or¬ chard Grass or Fescue with the Ladino claiming that it will prevent bloating. We believe this a good practice. If these grasses are sown with the clover it mil not prevent threshing the crop for seed as the grasses named above can be easily cleaned out of the Ladino.

Picture taken in a field of Ladino grown on the mountain ranch of Mr. C. W. Woods at Prospect, Oregon. Mr. Woods and County Agent R. G. Fowler inspect¬ ing the stand. The picture shows only a portion of Mr. Woods’ 40 acres of Ladino.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture reports that a well-managed Ladino pasture will carry 40 per cent more stock than alfalfa, red clover, alsike or white, and 80 per cent more than blue grass. The protein content is one-half again higher than green alfalfa and three times as great as green corn. Under Oregon conditions it is consistently car¬ rying 4 to 5 cows per acre from early spring until late fall. All classes of livestock and poultry find Ladino very palatable, invariably leaving other clover or grass pasture for it. Cows consistently increase in milk production when changed to Ladino. It is nutri¬ tious — in several Central Oregon cases being the entire ration for 4 high-producing cows per acre for seven months of the year. It grows tall enough to be cut for hay and is used extensively as a cover crop and for soil improvement, especially in orchards. Although livestock is less susceptible to bloating on Ladino than on any other legume, in sections troubled with bloating a Ladino and grass mixture is recommended. The following mix¬ ture will not cause bloating: Rye grass, 6 lbs.; Ladino, 3 lbs.; or Orchard Grass, 3 lbs., Ladino, 3 lbs.

LADINO CLOVER PRICES— Blue Tag seed, $1.00 lb.; Red Tag seed, 85c lb.; Pasture Grade seed (contains some Alsike Clover, which is not objectionable), 60c lb. Prices postpaid. Write for quantity prices.

“FULL VALUE” Fertilizers “PRICED RIGHT”

GROZ-IT--- Sheep Manure

If you have a farm, a garden, a lawn, a vegetable patch, or if you are a market gardener you will be deeply interested in GROZ-IT SHEEP MANURE.

The ordinary manure, which is so necessary to plant life, has many objectionable features, when used close to the dwelling. It is unsightly, has a disagreeable odor, draws flies and in¬ sects, etc., likewise it is too bulky to be used to best advantage.

In its place we offer you a highly concentrated, pulverized natural sheep manure, packed in sacks, light, dry, odorless, FREE FROM WEED SEEDS and all foreign matter, with a plant food value many times that of ordinary manure.

Realizing the demand for such a fertilizer and wanting only the best manure obtainable we have selected GROZ-IT as the best. GROZ-IT comes from animals fed on cottonseed meal and cake and alfalfa hay (highly nitrogenous foods), is stored and aged for a long per¬ iod under climatic conditions that remove the moisture and prevent leaching and fermentation. Handled in this manner GROZ-IT contains the necessary plant-food elements, which are lost in manures that are left out in the weather to leach out and ferment.

Use GROZ-IT for lawns, Golf Green3, Flower Beds, for Seed Beds in Nurseries, for Window Boxes and House Plants for the Garden and Trees.

Price: 10 lbs. 50c; 25 lbs. $1.00; 50 lbs. $1.25; 100 lbs. $1.75, F. O. B. Medford.

SULPHATE OF AMMONIA. This is one of the best plant foods for forcing leaf growth. For cabbage, lettuce, spinach, etc., it has no equal. Many people labor under the impression that Sulphate of Ammonia is a complete plant food. Such is not the case. If you want to give your plants a “square meal” use our General Fertilizer listed above. Price: 10 lbs. 60c; 100 ibs. $3.00 F. O. B. Medford. Quantity price upon application.

SUPERPHOSPHATE. This is a concentrated chemical fertilizer, phosphoric acid, and is the cheapest form in which to secure phosphoric acid. Used for alfalfa, in gardens and on flow¬ ers. Price: 10 lbs. 50c; 100 lbs. $1.75, F. O. B. Medford. *

Fertilizers for Legumes

EMPIRE GYPSUM — Often called Land Plaster, is a valuable fertilizer for alfalfa and is particularly recommended for stands grown on lighter soils. Use Empire Gypsum at the rate of 200 pounds per acre and double your alfalfa yield. Gypsum is also a valuable agent in freeing heavy soils. Use it in your garden and on your lawn to correct a pos¬ sible acid condition. Ask for prices.

PEARL BRAND SULPHUR — This excellent soil sulphur has found a welcome among Southern Oregon farmers. Being free flowing, non-clogging and a 99 per cent pure product, Pearl Brand stands head and shoulders above other brands. Use sulphur on clovers and alfalfa grown on heavier types of soil. The application of 100 pounds per acre will show a big increase in yield. Write for prices.

- PEAT-MULL -

We offer again this season the celebrated G. P. M. PEAT MULL (granu¬ lated Peat Moss), a product that is being imported to this country from Germany. PEAT MULL is a humus vegetable material (lug from the Peat bogs of Germany. PEAT MULL is very retentive of moisture. It binds sandy soils that will not hold moisture and breaks up heavy soils that are hard to work. It is a plant food as well, that works wonders in the garden. PEAT MULL holds moisture like a sponge. Use it freely. It is an organic material that contributes to the humus content of the soil. It has special root growth promoting substances scientifically known as auximones, comparable to vitamines in food. It is clean, odorless and pleasant to use. PEAT MULL is economical to use. One bale will spread approximately 340 square feet, one inch deep. Use PEAT MULL on soils that pack and bake. It comes in large bales which sell at a very reason¬ able figure. Write or call for prices.

Swift’sFertilizers

pays to use them”

FERTILIZERS

We thoroughly believe that Swift’s Red Steer Fertilizers are the best on the market and we know “it pays to use them.”

Below are our recommendations for the various crops grown in Southern Oregon and Northern Cal¬ ifornia:

RED STEER BERRY — 5-7-8 (Guaranteed analysis). Especially recom¬ mended for strawberries and cane berries, also an excellent general pur¬ pose fertilizer for soils low in nitrogen. For best results use from 500 to 800 pounds per acre. Write for prices.

RED STEER “E” — 3-10-10. This is an excellent and result-producing fertil¬ izer for potatoes, onions and all root crops. Recommended too as a general purpose garden fertilizer. It should be broadcast after the soil has been spaded or plowed, at the rate of 1,000 lbs. per acre. After broadcasting, rake or harrow the fertilizer into the soil to a depth of 3 or 4 inches, and proceed with planting. Write for prices.

RED STEER SPECIAL — 21/2-10-20. Recommended for onions and bulb crops on soils where heavy deficiency of potash is indicated. Use 800 to 1,000 pounds per acre. Write for prices.

RED STEER ORCHARD DRESSING — 6-10-4. Here’s a general purpose plant food for fruit trees, vegetables, lawn or garden. For fruit trees where clean cultivation is practiced it has no equal. Use 1 lb. for each year of age of the trees. Use this plant on your vegetable and flower gar¬ den, as well as the lawn and watch things spring out of the ground. Write for prices.

RED STEER “C” — 3-10-7. Particularly adapted to tomatoes. Apply 500 lbs. per acre and mix with soil in the hill at planting time. Side dress plants later with 300 pounds per acre. Write for prices.

The Scientific Plant Food Supreme

This new, scientific method of plant feeding used by millions is the result of a demand for a concentrated plant food that would act immediately with satisfactory results. VIGORO has filled this demand and is universally used by home and market gardeners. Grass, flowers, shrubs, trees and vegetables are living things. They, like human beings, must have a balanced diet. Most soils are deficient in plant food. Either nature failed to deposit a good supply originally or the plant food once stored in the soil has been consumed by the plants grown year after year.

VIGORO, originally formulated for gardeners and nurserymen, is now available to everyone. Its cost of application is sur¬ prisingly low — only 10c to 20c for every 100 square feet! Use VIGORO and have a velvety green lawn, beautiful flow¬ ers, luxuriant shrubs and a better vegetable garden. Send for illustrated, descriptive pamphlet. Odorless and clean. It can be applied by hand, just like grass seed. Complete direc¬ tions in each bag. Prices: 5 lbs. 60c; 25 lbs. $2.00; 50 lbs. $3.75; 100 lbs. $6.00, f. o. b. Medford.

MAKING A LAWN. First obtain pure seed. Loosen the soil in which a new lawn is to be made to a depth of at least five inches, and lighten it with humus or several inches of com¬ post, or use well rotted manure you know to be “positively free of weed seeds.” Apply fer¬ tilizer liberally either sheep manure, bonemeal or a good commercial fertilizer. Sow in the early spring when cool weather and ample rainfall will insure complete germination and a good start for the seedlings before hot dry weather comes. By all means prevent the ground from drying out, even for a few minutes while seed is germinating. Early fall is a fine time to plant. Rake the seed in well and roll so that the soil is firm over the seed. Where seed is sown on an old lawn always cover it with a top dressing of sand or soil and fertilizer. Seed thrown on the top of hard ground has no chance to grow and will merely wash off.

QUANTITY TO USE — On new lawns, use 1 lb. for 200 square feet. To replenish lawns where turf is thin use half quantity.

Monarch “VEL-V-TEE” Mixture

Our “VEL-V-TEE” is made up of fine bladed grasses which will make the most luxuriant turf of lasting quality and extreme beauty.

THE NEW GERMACO HOTCAP Growers who prepare land

and plant seed early in the spring run the dangerous risk of late frosts. Frequently it is too late, then, to plant another crop. Time and effort are wasted; money is lost. “HOT- KAPS” insure against this condition. They not only protect against frost, but shield young plants from wind and insects and eliminate the possibility of the plant being damaged in a heavy rain. “HOT-KAPS” are waterproof. They guard against too much moisture, which frequently causes a de¬ layed and weakened growth.

In California, the home of “HOT-KAPS” and where the most modern methods of culture are applied to “mil¬ lion dollar” crops, growers have discovered that by using this wonderful invention they can plant the seed directly in the field. They have found that a plant seed¬ ed in a permanent place is sturdier and more resistant to disease and insects than one that is transplanted. This is important to growers in other parts of the country who now must first plant seeds in hot-beds, then transplant them ti cold frames, and again to the field. “HOT- KAPS” mean that the gardener can be first to market and so command a better price for his crops. “HOT-KAPS” more than pay for them¬ selves. They represent the best investment a gardener can make.

“HOT-KAPS” are made of a specially prepared wax paper and are cone-like in shape, measuring about 11 inches in diameter at the base and coming to a point at the top.

“HOT-KAPS” have a flanged edge that is covered with dirt to hold them down. They are water-proof. Rain will not destroy them, nor will it injure or lessen their effectiveness in any way. “HOT-KAPS” are packed one thousand to the package, which weighs 25 pounds.

Only the slightest pressure is required to set the cap. The “HOT- KAP SETTER” selling for $2.50 will prove very helpful where a great number of plants are set. This is a small steel cone, the exact

shape of the “HOT-KAP” itself, with a handle at the top. NOTE THE ILLUSTRATIONS ON THIS PAGE CAREFULLY. SEE HOW EASILY “HOT-KAPS” ARE USED.

MADRONA (Brand) FEEDS

BUILT UP TO QUALITY— NOT DOWN TO PRICE MADE IN SOUTHERN OREGON’S FINEST FEED-MILLING PLANT

MADRONA EGG PRODUCER

A 20% protein egg mash that is made to produce eggs. One of our customers got better than 70% egg production from 1930 spring hatched pullets six weeks after they started their fall lay. He also told us his birds were in better shape than any flock he had ever owned. MADRONA EGG PRO¬ DUCER is machine mixed, contains the best ingredients that money will buy, is a palata¬ ble mash that will show results beyond your fondest expectations. Get our prices.

MADRONA CHICK-GROW DEVELOPING MASH

Here’s a developing mash containing the most essential ingredients to promote and produce normal and healthy growth in de¬ veloping pullets. Here are the ingredients of CHICK-GROW: Meat Scraps (not Meat Meal), Alfalfa Leaves and Blossoms, Gr. Wheat, Gr. Oats, Minerals, Cod-liver Oil, Mill Run, Yellow Cornmeal, Oil Meal, Dried Milk, Salt, Gr. Oat Groats and Sugared Hominy Grits. This is a properly balanced and machine mixed mash that will produce pullets which will lay for you when the nat¬ ural and normal laying period arrives. It does not abnormally force pullets. Just ask the many users of Chick-Grow in Southern Oregon and Northern California if you are a skeptic. A little investigation will prove we are right when we say we have one of the best Developing Mashes on the market. Get our prices.

MADRONA BRAND FEEDS are as good as the best and better than the rest. Modern milling equip¬ ment and careful milling super¬ vision make these good feeds stand out as result producers of highest rank. After all — it is not the cost of the feed that counts so much, as it is the results you obtain from them. Our milling equipment is second to none in the west and an honest ambition to turn out quality feeds should recommend MA¬ DRONA BRAND FEEDS TO YOU IF YOU ARE NOT NOW A USER. Our prices are always right, you may be sure of that.

MADRONA DAIRY RATION

This good dairy feed contains 18% protein which according to our best authorities is the proper protein content of a feed where pure alfalfa or clover hay is fed as rough- age. Minerals are contained in the feed to provide the necessary mineral requirements of heavy producing cows. Dairy Ration con¬ tains ground oats, barley, middlings, corn, bran and oil meals together with minerals as mentioned before. If your cows are not producing as you would like them to, put them on Madrona Dairy Ration. Get our prices.

MADRONA CHICK STARTER MASH We have this mash, both with and without milk. Like Chick-Grow, our starting mash will not abnormally force young chicks. Some of the best flocks in Southern Oregon have been raised on Madr.ona Chick Starter Mash. You’ll like it if you once try it. Get our prices.

MADRONA CHICK FEED (Chick Scratch)

Made up of cracked wheat, cracked corn, steel cut oat groats and hominy grits. Like our Hen Scratch, our Chick Feed is put through a polisher to remove the waste mate¬ rial so often found in scratch grains. You’ll find this feed the cleanest and most uniform scratch you have ever purchased. Get our prices.

MADRONA SCRATCH FOOD

The balanced scratch for your layers. Made of corn, oat groats, wheat and sunflower seed. Packed, as are all MADRONA BRAND FEEDS, in clean branded bags. Our scratch is free Df waste matter and the grains are polished and processed to remove any surplus fibrous material. Get our prices on all feeds before you buy. You’ll like our feeds better.
