Non-Warranty

Most of the failure with seeds, plants, and bulbs are due to causes entirely beyond our control, such as unfavorable weather or soil conditions, insect pests, faulty planting, etc., which makes it impossible for us to guarantee success, and although we take every care to sell only such goods as will, under proper condi¬ tions, produce satisfactory results, we give no warranty as to description, quality, or productiveness of any of the seeds, plants, bulbs we send out, and will not be in any way responsible for the crop, and every order for articles named in this catalog will be filled on these conditions only. It must be plain to every thinking person that it is to our best interests to send out only such stock as will give satis¬ faction in every way.

We Pay the Postage

ONION PLANTS

A constantly growing demand for Onion Plants of a better quality than those usually sold on the markets has forced us to offer two types of plants that are suitable for the use of the average gardener as well as the commercial grower. These are live growing plants raised under conditions that make them strong and vital, not weak and tender as are most of the plants shipped here from any of the Southern States. Orders will be accepted only as long as our supply lasts so place your order early, stating the date that you would prefer having them shipped to you, for our guidance in shipping.

CRYSTAL WAX BERMUDA. An extremely mild and sweet white onion, the Bermuda sold on the market. It is not quite >as hardy or as long a keeper as Sweet Spanish, but is a wonderful onion either for eating raw or cooked.

%

SWEET SPANISH. This hardy sort is especially suited to the Northwest. It is unsurpassed either in yield or keeping qualities. This sort is so mild and sweet that it has few superiors either for green onions or dried for winter use. A heavy producer.

The seed is large, kidney-shaped, buff- colored, and mottled.

DWARF HORTICULTURAL, or “Cranberry Bean.” This well known bean is very sturdy and prolific. The beans, which are speckled, bright red on a yellowish ground, are quite large and uniform and are very fine either for eating as green shell beans or as dried beans for winter use. There are few beans which will surpass the Dwarf Horticultural, either in quantity or sureness of yield.

TABLE BEETS

EARLY WONDER. A new variety that is an improvement over the old Cros¬ by’s Egyptian, from which it originated. Since its introduction it has gained great favor, especially among the market gardeners of the East. It is very nearly globular in shape and the flesh is dark red, sweet and tender. The skin is smooth and the tops small. It matures slightly later than the Early Egyptian. Pkg., 5c; oz., 10c; |4 lb., 25c; /2 lb., 40c; 1 lb., 75c.

EARLY EGYPTIAN. This is the best variety for forcing or for the earliest market trade. It is rounded somewhat on top but flattened underneath and has a small tap root. The tops are small, the flesh very dark red, slightly zoned.

Pkg., 5c; oz., 10c; <4 lb., 25c; /2 lb., 40c; 1 lb., 75c.

CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN. One of the

most widely grown beets in cultivation. The beets are smooth, dark red. The root is about midway in shape between Flat Egyptian and Detroit Dark Red and of excellent flavor. Tops are small, light green and somewhat speckled with red. The flesh is carmine with light zones, tender and sweet. Pkg., 5c; oz., 10c; J4 lb., 25c; /2 lb., 40c; 1 lb., 75c.

EDMONDS BLOOD TURNIP. A hand¬ some, clean shaped blood beet, not too large or coarse but of good size. The flesh is crisp, tender and sweet and an excellent keeper. The tops are small and the root matures rather early. Pkg., 5c; oz., 10c; J4 lb., 25c; /2 lb., 45c; 1 lb., 80c.

SUGAR BEETS

For Sugar or Stock

KLEIN WANZLEBEN. This variety of sugar beet is very hardy and easy to grow. It produces very heavily and is used for both sugar production and for stock. Pkg., 5c; oz., 10c; |4 lb., 15c; /2 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 45c.

MANGEL-WURTZEL or STOCK BEETS

Pkt., 5c; |4 lb., 15c; /2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., at 28c per lb.; 10 lbs., at 27c per

lb.; 25 lbs. and over at 25c per lb., Postpaid.

GIANT YELLOW OR GATE POST. Also called Golden Leviathan. This beautiful russet colored mangel is very similar to the famous Danish Sludstrup in every particular except that it does not contain quite such a high percentage of sugar. The flesh is white and firm and the yield is enormous.

GIANT HALF SUGAR MANGEL. A strain of mangels, larger than the reg¬ ular sugar beet, and sweeter than the other mangels, which has been specially selected for its size and also nutritive feeding value. Stands well out of the ground and is easier to pull than the smaller sugar beets.

DETROIT DARK RED

MANGEL-WURTZEL or STOCK BEETS

Pkt., 5c; J4 lb., 15c; /2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs,, at 28c per lb.; 10 lbs., at 27c per lb.; 25 lbs. and over at 25c per lb., Postpaid.

DANISH SLUDSTRUP. We consid¬ er this variety, introduced from Den¬ mark, as the finest of all the mangels now on the market. The root is long oval and of a reddish-yellow color. It grows high out of the ground so that pulling and cleaning is a very easy matter. The Sludstrup is very pro¬ ductive, smooth and of uniform shape. The flesh is sweet and solid and the sugar content is higher than that of the Giant Yellow or Gate Post and many of the other varieties. We have grown our own Danish Sludstrup seed for quite a number of years from stock seed obtained from the originators in Denmark and have taken care to keep it pure and true to name. We do not believe a finer quality of seed can be obtained anywhere regardless of price. Our seed is a new crop and of high germination. Quantity prices, see pg. 4.

MAMMOTH LONG RED. Largest red. Easiest to pull. Grown mostly above ground. Produces more weight to the acre, but it is coarser grain than the other mangels.

GOLDEN YELLOW TANKARD. A

smooth, yellow-fleshed mangel. The roots are of large diameter, tapering quickly at the bottom, which is quite broad, with only a small tap-root. It grows largely above the soil. It yields large crops on good land and is easily harvested.

SWISS CHARD

SWISS CHARD OR SPINACH BEET.

A variety of beet grown exclusively for its large, juicy, tender, light colored leaves and leaf stalks, which are much superior to those of other beets for use as greens. Swiss Chard is also greatly relished by chickens. Poultrymen will find this a valuable green food for young chicks as well as laying hens that are kept constantly penned up. Pkg., 5c; oz., 10c; >4 lb., 20c; /2 lb., 35c; 1 lb., 60c.

Descriptive Seed List for 1933

BRUSSELS SPROUTS

TALL FRENCH. This variety grows two or three feet high. It produces numerous sprouts which resemble lit¬ tle cabbage heads, one to two inches in diameter. The flavor is like mild cabbage. Pkg., 10c; oz., 25c.

BROCCOLI

Broccoli is a variety of cauliflower, but is more hardy and requires a longer period for development. It is often called “winter cauliflower ” and should be treat¬ ed the same as late cauliflower.

ST. VALENTINE. This is the fin¬ est variety of broccoli for use in the west where it is used largely by mar¬ ket gardeners as well as in the home garden. The heads are large, solid, very white and of finest quality. With average weather conditions the crop will mature for use about February. Pkg., 10c; |4 oz., 35c; oz., 1.25; |4 lb., $4.00.

AUTUMN WHITE CAPE. A splen¬ did variety with large white heads of good flavor. Pkg., 10c; oz., 50c.

ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING.

This new type of Broccoli is a recent introduction from Europe. The heads are green instead of white and are considered by many to be superior in flavor to the standard sorts. If the first head is cut when ready others will sprout up so that several cut¬ tings may be had. It is cooked like cauliflower. Pkg., 10c; oz., 75c.

CAULIFLOWER

CULTURE — A good, extra rich soil is essential for the successful cultivation of this most de¬ licious vegetable; our most experienced cultivators, however, acknowledge the advantage of a cool, moist season. Pursue the same general directions as recommended for growing cabbage, watering liberally during the dry weather. An occasional application of liquid manure is beneficial.

HENDERSON’S EARLY SNOW¬ BALL. The best known and most used of all the early cauliflowers. A great favorite with the market gardeners; for both early and late planting. Pro¬ duces beautiful snow-white heads of the most delicious flavor. Pkg., 15c; *4 oz., 60c; oz., 2.00.

EXTRA EARLY DWARF ERFURT.

This is the choicest selected strain of the Erfurt type and is very sure to make nice heads. Small leaves, large heads. Pkg., 15c; J4 oz., 60c; oz. $2.00.

DANISH GIANT. An excellent dry weather variety, with large, pure white solid heads; two weeks later than the Erfurt, but will head up better in dry weather. Pkg., 15c; J4 oz., 60c; oz., $2.

ALGIERS. One of the best kinds of late cauliflower.

Should be planted on good soil, with good cultivation to secure good-sized heads. On poor soil it makes too long a stem. Pkg., 5c; oz., 25c; Ya lb., 75c.

GENUINE SELECTED SUREHEAD.

One of the most reliable main crop or late cabbages for the Northwest. It is very hardy and a very sure header. The heads are compact and while of the same type as the Drumhead are somewhat thicker. It is a good keeper and in some localities is used for the home market and for shipping. Pkg., 5c; oz., 25c; Ya lb., 75c.

NETTED SAVOY. This is the fin¬ est of the Savoy cabbages, and a gen¬ eral favorite; of excellent flavor, sui> passing that of any other late cabbage, stands freezing well, Pkg., 5c; oz., 20c; Ya I b«, 60c.

The inner leaves blanch an at¬ tractive light yellow of creamy white with very white midribs. It is of dis¬ tinct flavor, very mild and pleasant. It may be used as a salad like lettuce, or when boiled like cabbage, it is of equal flavor, without offensive odor and many people who cannot eat or do not like cabbage relish Pe Tsai. Sow after July 1st, for early plantings run to seed in hot weather. Pkg., 5c; oz., 25c; Ya lb., 75c.

CELERIAC

CELERIAC (Turnip-rooted Celery).

This is distinct in growth from the tall celeries. The edible portion is the large, swollen root, which some¬ what resembles a turnip, and is highly esteemed for boiling or for flavoring soups, stews and* other dishes. The plants should be started in the same manner as other celeries, and when of sufficient size, transplant to stand eight to ten inches apart each way in rich soil, hoeing frequently to promote a strong growth. As roots are produced entirely below the surface, plants do not need earthing up. Pkg. 10c, oz 30c.

CARROTS

The carrot is a healthy:, nutritious food for the family or for the stock. While we recommend the Yellow Mangel for cows, carrots are the best for horses, and they are especially valuable to feed poultry in winter, giving you great returns in the increased egg production. Peas and carrots make the cheapest and best food for laying hens. Don’t fail to grow plenty of carrots. Easily grown, if you use our seed, which has always given great satisfaction.

RED CORED CHANTENAY. A new

variety of carrot with tops shorter and finer cut than Chantenay. The roots are about six inches long and two inches in diameter. The core is quite red and in cooking retains its color to a remarkable extent.

GOLDEN BANTAM

GOLDEN BANTAM. This is the fin¬ est and best sweet corn grown. While it is several days later than Early Mar¬ ket and Golden Early Market its deli¬ cious flavor and sweetness more than make up for the few days difference in maturity. As a market corn it has no superior. The cobs are medium sized, the kernels yellow, plump and of a flavor that has no equal. We have yet to find a corn that will quite match it for flavor or uniformity of ears.

PRICES — Pkg., 5c; >4 lb., 10c; y2 lb., 15c; 1 lb., 20c. (For quantity prices see page 4).

GOLDEN GIANT. This corn is lar¬ ger and later than Golden Bantam. The color and flavor is very similar but on account of the later time of maturity it will never supplant it as a market corn.

EARLY MARKET. This is undoubt¬ edly the finest extra early white corn on the market. It was originated in the Northwest several years ago. The ear is large, the kernels plump and sweet, and of purest white.

IMPROVED GOLDEN BANTAM.

This corn is similar to Golden Bantam in almost every way except in the size of the ears. The kernels are deep rich golden yellow, set close on the cob, nearly all of which are twelve rowed and somewhat larger than regular Golden Bantam. The quality and flavor are unsurpassed. Fine for either home or market.

GOLDEN EARLY MARKET

GOLDEN EARLY MARKET. This is a new sweet corn introduced in 1925 which has increased steadily in popu¬ larity owing to its extreme earliness. It is a cross between Early Market and Golden Bantam and combines the good qualities of both parents. The ears are 14 to 16 rowed and the color a creamy yellow of fine flavor. It is very sweet and tender. A very fine corn either for the home garden or for market.

In the Puget Sound region Golden Early Market will mature for table use about 10 days earlier than Golden Bantam.

SETS

YELLOW BOTTOM SETS. These are small onions about V2 inch in diameter that are produced by thick planting. They will produce green on¬ ions for table or market use in a very short time, or if planted far enough apart will produce nice large dry on¬ ions. In the Northwest sets may be planted very early, in fact just as early as weather and soil conditions will permit. We have an exceptionally fine lot of sets this year and hope to fill all orders as long as they come in. (For prices before Mar. 15 see page 4)

DAHLIAS

CULTURE — Plant two or three feet apart in holes about four to six inches deep, laying the bulbs flat with the eye uppermost. Never stand bulb on end. Soil must be well worked and kept cultivated until bloom buds appear. After which keep the surface from crusting. After the young plant appears above the ground, keep the soil moist, but never water before the plant is above the ground, as this may cause them to rot or damp off. Never allow' fertilizer to come in direct oontact with the bulb or plant. Only allow one shoot to grow and disbud for large blooms and long stems.

Orders for dahlias are booked as received, and will be shipped from April 15 to May 15. Dahlias can be planted at any time from about April 20 to June 1. We would appreciate it if you will say we may substitute with an equal or better variety if the one ordered is sold out.

PLANT PROTECTORS

For the control of the Cabbage Maggot the use of Keepway Tarred Plant Protectors will give a 90% to 100% protection against the cabbage maggot on cabbage and cauliflower plants, even in areas where a 30% to 50% loss has been experienced heretofore. These tarred protectors are placed about the stem of the plants on top of the ground after transplanting. The maggot fly is repelled by the tar smell, and consequently no eggs are deposited. Our own use of these protectors has proven highly satisfactory in every test.

Why take chances when plant insurance can be purchased as cheaply as the cost of the Keepway Tarred Plant Protectors.

This pad retains its efficiency until the plant is matured. Also it acts as a mulch in retaining moisture in the soil around the roots of the plant.

The size of these protectors is 3 inches by 3 inches, put up in packages, post¬ paid, priced as follows: Package of 24, 10c; 72, 25c; 144, 45c; 500, $1.50; 1,000, $2.70.

APHICIDE DUST

This wonderful pest killer is the re¬ sult of careful investigation and ex¬ periments over many years to produce a powder that would kill all insects and pests that breathe through their skins. This is done by contact with a powder carrying 4% nicotine.

Nicotine has been well known as a means to destroy insects, but until re¬ cently it has been necessary to apply it in a liquid spray and this has been less effective than when properly in¬ corporated with a dust carrier which is so fine that when blown from a dusting machine it almost resembles smoke and really gases the aphis, chinch bugs, thrips, etc., to death. They stay dead!

THE FEENY DUSTERS

The Feeny Duster has many uses be¬ sides applying all kinds of insectides and fungicides to gardens, flowers, trees, shrubs, etc. It is ideal for killing flies, bugs, roaches, etc., in homes, hotels and restaurants — for killing lice and other vermin in chicken houses; for using hog and cattle powder on the animals or in the barns, pens or stables.

Whenever it is desired to apply any powdered material in its finest, atomized form, the Feeny Duster is positively the best instrument for such application. Hand size for household or small garden use, $1.00; 2-qt. size for field use, $3.50.

(Prices postpaid)

EVERGREEN will kill insects that suck leaves or stems, those that chew foliage — in fact all the insects that the average person will encounter. It is absolutely non-poisonous to humans, animals and birds. Children may handle it with safety. Nor will it injure plants or blooms. Its odor is pleasant and agreeable, being suggestive of fresh cedar.

It is easily mixed and easy to apply with any liquid sprayer.

Being highly concentrated, EVERGREEN will go a long way. A 1-ounce bottle will make six gallons of spray for plant lice.

Being non-poisonous, EVERGREEN can be mailed. Highly rec¬ ommended for use on Roses, Chrysanthemums, and other flowering plants.

WONDER GROWER

This is one of the finest plant foods that we have yet found, and we believe one of the best on the market, regardless of price. Our trials have convinced ns of its merits.

While the guaranteed analysis is not as high as some, yet the three major plant foods, and the minor chemicals are so harmoniously balanced that the re¬ sults are far beyond what is expected of a so reasonably priced product.

Wonder Grower does not burn even tender vegetation and it is readily and quickly available as plant food; yet it operates over a long period. It does not require heavy feeding to produce results, nor will a generous application injure the most tender plants. It works easily In drills or broadcasters, or it may be spread by hand, as it is odorless and does not injure the skin.

As an aid to rebuilding soil, for repotting plants, or for enriching soil for hotbeds or coldframes it has few if any equals.

Wonder Grower is conceded by all who have used it to be the cheapest and most satisfactory fertilizer that they have ever used. We, together with other greenhouse and nursery men use, and recommend it highly for potting, hotbed garden and field use. It is Fool Proof and produces truly wonderful results.

For Gardens, use 5 to 10 lbs. per 100 square feet

For Field, use 200 to 400 lbs. per acre
