THE MARKET GARDENER’S SEEDSMEN of THE SOUTHWEST 3

Tested Reliable Green Beans

Bean Culture For Home Gardens

During the early spring give sandy soil pre- feience, but heavy soil m summer. When the ground is properly moistened and pulverized, plant Bush Beans one or two seeds every four inches, in rows twenty to twenty -four inches apart. If the soil is heavy, one-half inch is deep enough. Plant deeper in sandy soil. During the cool spring months plant shallow; during the hot summer months plant uown to moist earth. Do not plant in soil that is too wet, nor irrigate immediately after plant¬ ing, else the seed will rot. During the winter months do all irrigating in the morning, be¬ cause the water from the pipe is warm and will help the growth. When applied in the evening the water chills the plants, cools the soil, retards the growth and causes mildew. During hot summer days irrigate in the late afternoon. Never sprinkle beans.

ADVICE. Watch for the slightest indication of mildew. When it appears spray with the Anchor Brand of Sulphur. This will not only arrest any further advance of mildew, but it will fertilize the soil and destroy any germ of fungi that may be there. For application use Acme Volunteer (see page 31) Duster.

A WORD ABOUT POLE BEANS. Many growers hesitate to plant Pole Beans because of the scarcity of poles. This objection is easily overcome, and the greater profit in growing the pole varieties should be sufficient reason for going to a little extra care. Plaster laths will answer the purpose and cost very little.

Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod

This famous snap bean is a prime favorite with thousands of truckers and gardeners in the South and is also largely grown for can¬ ning purposes. It is one of the finest green- pod bush Beans in existence. The pods are medium green, five to six inches long, cylin¬ drical, larger than those of the Red Valentine, Imt are quite as fleshy, of equally high qual¬ ity anil remain crisp and tender longer. This splendid sort is extremely early and enor¬ mously productive. It is a Bean of handsome appearance that will sell readily on any market. The quality is truly superb.

E. P. S. Co.’s Selected Table Beets

Culture. Beets may be planted all the year round where the temperature does not linger below 30 degrees. Sow the seed 1 inch deep in well prepared, moist soil in rows 8 to 10 inches apart, or on ridges same as lettuce. Drill 8 to 10 pounds of seed per acre. Thin out to 1 plant every 3 inches, and transplant the discarded plants in any convenient spot about the garden. The Egyptian is a small, dark red, flat, smooth variety. It is sweetest and best for the table. Irrigate about every 2 weeks, unless the nature of the soil is such that more frequent irrigation is found to be necessary. Mulch the soil after each irrigation. Beets’ are ready for use in 10 weeks and con¬ tinue in prime condition for another 10 weeks. One ounce of seed for 100 feet of row.

It is not generally known that Beet seed may be planted freely in the row and when (3 to 8 inches high it may be thinned ' to 1 plant for every 3 inches, and the plants pulled out may be cooked and eaten as spinach.

Swiss Chard may be thinned and eaten in the same way, but the Chard should be thinned to 1 plant to 10 inches. As it grows large the leaves may be broken off at the base of the stem, the foliage cooked as spinach and the stems as asparagus.

Both are very palatable.

This is an ideal

Detroit Dark Red beet for all pur¬ poses. It cannot be excelled for the table ; free from all fiber and very sweet. It is the best of all for pickling or canning. Even the tops are good when pickled. Postpaid, p: t., 5c; oz., 15c; 14 lb., 30c; 14 lb., 50c; lb., 85c; 5 lbs., $3.50; 10 lbs., $6.50.

Sugar Beets and Mangels

Sow 7 to 10 pounds per acre.

Culture. Mangels require a deep, rich soil, the richer the better. Sow from April to October in rows 18 inches to 2 feet apart. If medium sized Mangels wanted, thin to 8 to 10 inches apart in the row. Tf larger size desired, 12 to 14 inches apart and cultivate same as Sugar Beets.

As the feeding value of Sugar Beets and Mangel Wurzels becomes better known the acreage devoted to them is increased. They are the cheapest, most important, and profitable root crop for stock feeding purposes as has been proven by many State Experimental Stations and by thousands of prosperous dairymen and stock growers, who feed them largely. The value of these for stock feeding cannot be over-estimated. The results from their use are wonderful, as is clearly shown in the improved health and condition of the animals to which they are fed, the increased yield of milk in the cows, and the great saving of hay. Write for prices in large quantities.

Giant Feeding Half Sugar

-»*- | By careful breeding there has

Mangel been developed a Half Sugar Beet and Mangel, which is more valuable for feeding purposes than the old sort. This magnificent Mangel Wurzel Beet, while producing nearly as large a yield of roots as the most prolific Mangel, supplies a much higher nutritive value, the roots for feeding purposes being more valuable, pound for pound, than those of the best strains of sugar beets, and the yield, under favorable conditions, being nearly double. The roots grow partly out of the ground, and because of this, and their shape, the crop can be easily harvested. IVe can recommend this as one of the very best for feeding purposes, and are certain those who grow it will be more than pleased with results. Postpaid, pkt., 5c; 14 lb., 25c; lb., 50c.

THE MARKET GARDENER'S SEEDSMEN of THE SOUTHWEST 5

Selected Cabbage Seed

Culture. The secret of growing hardy plants is to thoroughly prepare the soil in tne plain bed. l’low the soil to a depth of 8 or 10 inches, pulverize well. Sow in drills not too freely, about one-half inch deep, press fh ■ soil firmly over the seed; this is impo.t.nt. in about (i weeks transplant in rows 3 f it apart. 1 foot in the row for Winnigstadt. in inches for large-heading varieties. Keep the crop well watered and cultivated, for when the growth is checked the seed head matures and bursts forth as soon as moisture is agsin supplied. This accounts for much cabling 1 going to seed.

Eirly Dwarf Flat Dutch

Danish Roundhead or Short Stemmed Hollander frJW

dueing large,

round heads very early in the season, about as early as Jersey Wakefield. It is short stemmed, producing heads almost on the ground; leaves light green, medium size, and always tightly folded over the head. The plants, therefore, may be set closer togethe • than most other early varieties. This new, large, round head, extra early Cabbage was originated in Denmark by an old Cabbage specialist, where nearly all of our best varieties of Cabbage originated. It has be¬ come a great faATorite with market gardeners wherever grown. Postpaid, pkt., 5c; oz , 25c; 14 b., 80c ; y2 lb., $1.50; lb., $2.75; 5 lbs. $12.00.

shorter stemmed improved strain of the Danish Ballhead. The heads are the right market size — not too large, very solid and heavy, weighing fully a fourth more than other varieties of equal size. Postpaid, pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; 14 lb., 80c; lb., $2.75.

Early All-Head ™!

good, solid head weighing 6 to 8 pounds. It is among the earliest sorts and is a very profitable sort to grow. The outer leaves are few and close planting can be made, as close as 18 inches in the rows and rows 2 feet

apart. Postpaid, p' t., 5c; oz., 25c; 14 lb., 80c; lb., $2.75; 5 lbs., $12.00.

Superior 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. Our cauliflower seed is grown in Denmark by expert growers, and is first class in every respect. Write for special prices on large lots.

No. 1 Earliest Express

O 1 |. J. M. This type matures ap-

IMlOWDali proximately ten days earlier than tiie regular Snowball. The heads of the Express are slightly smaller and are very desirable for shipping purposes as well as the local market. Postpaid, pkt , 15c; 14 oz., 75c; oz., $2.00; 14 lb., $7.00; 14 lb., $13.00; lb., $25.00.

O j | ] II. S. This type seems espe-

oUOWDall daily adapted to our climate and soil. Suitable for either early or late planting. Under favorable con¬ ditions nearly every plant will make a fine, solid head of good size. The seed we are of¬ fering of this variety was imported by us direct from Denmark. Postpaid, pkt., 15c; 14 oz., 75c; 1 oz., $2.00; 14 lb., 87.00; 14 11>.,

813.00; lb., $25.00.

No. 3 Self -Protecting

P, 1 11 E. S. This new strain was in-

snowball troduced about ti years ago by a Cauliflower specialist of Denmark. It possesses all the good qualities

of the best Early Snowball strains. The leaves are longer than the Snowball varieties, and enfold closely over the heads, giving a par¬ ticularly attractive appearance when displayed for sale. The inner leaves almost cover the snow-white heads, bleaching them nicely, thus avoiding the necessity of early tying of the leaves, as is necessary with other early sorts. Another trait of distinction is its uni¬ formity in maturing, enabling the grower to harvest practically all of the crop at one cutting. The heads are large, white, and solid. Postpaid, pkt., 15c; *4 oz., 75c; oz., $2.00; A* lb., $7.00; 14 lb., $13.00; lb., $25.00.

We are listing above three of our strains, listed according to maturity and every strain is a proven moneymaker under YOUR particular climatic conditions. Each, pro¬ ducing a snow-white, true uniform ready market product, will mature at about 10-day intervals, one field being cut clean when the next strain is ready to move.

Carrots

Carrots are not alone one of the most wholesome of foods, supplying precious vita- mines, but wlien half grown are one of the greatest delicacies possible to place on the table. Persons who say they do not like Car¬ rots usually will be found never to have tried them when young. The seeds are very slow to germinate and they should be. marked in the row with radishes or some other quickly maturing crop which will lie har¬ vested before the Carrots Crowd. Mellow soil which will not bake over the seeds and will not harden in midsummer is the kind Carrots like. Plant in rows IS to 24 inches apart and thin to 3 or 4 inches.

Garden Peas

Culture. For early peas the soil should be light and warm, but for the main crop, a heavier soil is better. Fresh manure and very rich or wet soil should be avoided, as they cause a rank growth of vines at the cost of quality and quantity. Peas are very hardy, enduring cold well. The smooth varieties, such as Alaska or Earliest of All, are the earliest and hardiest, and may be planted in January in the Southwest or as soon as the frost is out of the ground in the North. The wrinkled varieties are sweeter and more tender, but are liable to rot if planted before the ground is warm.
