To Our Customers and Friends, New and Old:
Sixty-two years ago the Archias Family started the sale of seeds and nursery stock by mail. Prior to this time Grandfather Archias was in the nursery and seed business and had for many years supplied his neighbors from the surrounding counties, fruit trees, berry plants, and such seeds as he produced on his seed farm and nursery.
Many years have passed since this beginning—three generations, Then, as now, untiring effort, a sense of obligation, a determination to offer to our customers seeds that have been re-cleaned to the highest standard— “tops in quality.” Fruit trees and plants of the best origins, so that success and satisfaction may be theirs from their purchases.
Your faithfulness and many words of praise and approval have helped us tremendously in maintaining this standard.
We appreciate your desire for quality and pledge our efforts to con- tinue to supply the BEST at reasonable prices. We urge you to send us your orders early. Many items are still quite short.
Thank you for your patronage and the opportunity to serve you.
Sincerely yours, ARCHIAS” SEED STORE L. H. Archias, Jr. President

ARCHIAS’ Selected
Selected Cauliflower
Cauliflowers delight in a rich moist soil, and in dry seasons should be abundantly watered, especially when heading. Sow the seed early in Zthe hotbed and transplant the plants 2 to 3 inches apart in boxes or in another hotbed until such time as they are safe to be planted in the open ground, which in this latitude is usually the 10th of April. Set the plants in the field 15x24 inches apart.

Edible Soy Beans
VITAMINS A, B, and G.

Ladino White Clover
U. S. Department of Agriculture says: ‘‘Ladino is the largest growing form of White Clover. It is similar to White Dutch, but grows twice as large.”’ It is a long-lived perennial, excellent for grazing, as well as produc- ing a most nutritious and palatable hay crop. Its tap root goes down one to three feet. The stems run on the ground, taking root. It is not subject to Alfalfa diseases and is ideal to plant after Alfalfa. It does not bloat livestock as much as other Clovers, but is safer to plant with Timothy, Red Top, Meadow Fescue, Kentucky Blue Grass, Orchard Grass and Rye Grass.
See Farm Seed Price List for prices.
Orchard Grass
One of the best long-lived, deep-rooted grasses for year round pasture or hay or to reseed on old Alfalfa sods. It does well on practically every type of soil, including acid soils, thrives in the shade, grows vigorously and pro- duces large crops of nutritious hay relished by all livestock. It recovers quickly when cut or grazed. It grows the year round with maximum growth in the spring and fall. Should be included in every hay or pasture mixture.

New! Sweet Sudan Grass
SWEET SUDAN is a greatly improved Sudan Grass from a hybridization of Leota Red Sorghum on common Sudan. It has great palatability, livestock eating it to the ground before touching common Sudan or other forage Sor- ghums. SWEET SUDAN has broader leaves, larger stems and makes taller growth, stooling heavier than common Sudan. It is a truly great improve- ment over common Sudan, and in our opinion will completely replace com- mon Sudan in a few years. We recommend that every farmer put in at least a part of his Sudan acreage with SWEET SUDAN to prove to himself the many advantages for both hay and grazing over common Sudan.
5 Ibs., $1.50; 10 lbs., $2.50, postpaid. See Price List for quantity prices.
Sudan Grass
Sudan Grass is primarily a hay grass, its slender leafy stems making it easy to handle with ordinary haying machinery. It makes its greatest growth and produces the most feed during July, August and September, when native grasses are less productive. It can be grown successfully on almost every class of soil from a heavy clay to a light sand, besides being particularly drought and heat resistant. Primarily an excellent hay crop, Sudan is gaining in popularity as a summer pasture. Ready to cut in 45 days. Sow after the ground becomes thoroughly warm, preferably broadcast at the rate of 20: to 25 pounds per acre. A grain drill may be used, set to sow two pecks of wheat. Cut when in bloom, for at that stage the feeding value is highest.
