MAULE’S NEAPOLITAN PEPPER,
st Maule’s Neapolitan Pepper
The earliest of all peppers by a week
to ten days. originally named
and first offered Neapolitan in 1903.
If I had not purchased my Panmure Seed Farms this
pepper would still be unknown. Some years ago my atten-
tion was attracted to the fact that a few Italian gardeners
located near Panmure, were shipping peppers by the carload
one to three weeks earlier than any other peppers could be
shipped; and on investigation I found that for years a small
settlement of Italians situated a few miles from my farm had
been shipping these peppers to market and realizing thou-
sands of dollars. With our trials of other peppers, Neapoli-
tan proved itself to be two wecks earlier than any other.
When, in addition to this fact, we had good size and mild,
piquant flavor, I decided I had secured a money maker,
Plants are of strong growth, very stocky, and peppers are
borne erect, averaging the size of the illustration. Flesh
is very thick and fruit is pale green turning to a brilliant
red color. If my customers want peppers from one to three
weeks ahead of their neighbors, they must plant Neapolitan.

Ruby
This pepper was introduced to the Ameri-

once took conspicuous place and became the
leader of the sweet red sorts. I have every
year sought to improve this already good pep-
per. I can truthfully claim that every year
my strain of Ruby King is better than the
year before. I have furnished this seed to
tens of thousands of gardeners with the most
satisfactory results, and my strain of this
splendid stock is now noted for perfection of
form, large size, brilliance of color, and sweet,
mild flavor. So prominent are these desirable
features that the words “Maule’s Improved”
are properly attached to the name. The
Ruby King pepper attains a larger size than

not one excels my own celebrated strain, either in quality, quantity or earliness. Maule’s
Earliest of All is yery hardy, and may be sown as soon as the soil becomes mellow. It
may be relied upon to be ready for market in about forty-five days from date of germi-

«s Prolific Early Market Pea
The Most Productive Extra Early Market Sort
I offered this grand pea in 1901 for the first time, quoting the
introducer to the effect that while it was 3 to 4 days later than
the first early sorts, it was 80 to 50 per cent. more prolific.
Several years’ experience with it leads me to conclude that it
is practically as early as the very first of all, and more prolific.
The introducers, Messrs. N, B. Keeney & Son, prominent
New York pea growers, thus speak of it: ‘Several years
ago the writer selected a very productive plant of an extra
early pea, having an exceptionally long pod. From this, dur-
ing the last. eleven years, was produced what we call Prolific
Early Market. Our tests of this pea during ’94, 796 and ’97
showed it to blossom two days later than our earliest and best
strain of Extra Early, and in the development of pods suitable
for picking, 8 or 4 days behind; but the remarkable produc-
tiveness and length of pod have followed this strain through
all these years, many of the plants containing 40 to 50 fully
developed pods as the result of one seed sown; and I believe
this pea will give a yield of 80 to 50 per cent. more than any
other strain of extra earlies I know of.” .
My trials of Prolific Harly Market induce me to yalue it
very highly, as above stated. The seed resembles the seed of
the hard, round, extra early sorts, but is somewhat wrinkled.
But the point or characteristic which I desire most to empha-
size is that this variety is very prolific, a thing of extreme
Fs @) importance in a first early pea. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.;

Prosperity or Grae
An Extra Early Wrinkled Pea
This remarkable pea has produced a sensation in the
horticultural world, and there is no longer any doubt about
its position and standing. It is now recognized as a leader.
It is not only large and of best quality, but it is as early as
the small, round, extra early sorts, It may be planted as
soon as the ground is fit to work in spring, along with the
smooth peas. It promises to take the place of the smooth
peas in general culture to a great extent. Prosperity or
Gradus is a wrinkled pea, with vine growing 18 to 30 inches
high, It requires no sticks or brush, though sticks may be
used, if preferred. The peas are freely borne, and remain
in good condition for a number of days. The pods are of a
dark green color, and measure 4 inches or more in length,
being as large as Telephone, and equally well filled with
luscious peas—8 to 10 or more in a pod. The peas them-
selves are of a first-class table quality, and retain their color -
and attractive appearance after cooking. The pods are
round and plump. On light, sandy soils it attains a growth
of only 15 or 18 inches, while on rich, heavy loams it reaches
30 inches. It is entirely adapted to the purposes of the
market gardener, requiring only good field treatment. Does
equally as well in the home garden.

A True Pick Forever
Bears from June Until October
Several years ago I offered Perpetual pea as a
novelty, and have continued to supply it to’a num-
ber of my customers regularly every year since,
Probably there are no two concerns in the country
who know more about peas or who grow more
peas for seed purposes than Messrs, Keeney &
Son, of Genesee Co., N, Y., or Rogers Bros., of
Jefferson Co., N.Y. Messrs. Keeney & Son write:
“It is more accurately named than any other
pea in the list, and for the private garden is an
excellent variety, as it will continue producing
for a long time, if the peas are promptly and
completely picked as fast as they become large
enough to use on the table,”
This was supplemented by a letter from Rogers
Bros., who made the following statement:
“We consider it the best or nearest to a per-
petual pea of anything we have ever seen yet.”
Perpetual pea is everything its name implies,
It grows about 2% to 8 feet high, is of strong,
robust habit, a good cropper, and, to secure bes!
results, requires sticks or brush. After removing
the pods as fast as they are filled it will continue
to bear right along throughout the season. This
one feature makes it especially desirable for tbe
home or family garden and I know of no large
podded pea that will produce so many pods and
none that are so well filled as the Perpetual, It
is certainly the mostremarkable everbearing pea
that has ever come to my knowledge.
Iam offering this year what I consider an Im-
proved Perpetual, on account of its having larger
pods than the old strain I have been offering.

a New Dwarf Pea Little Marvel
A new dwarf first early pea of unusual value. But recently on the
market. The demand among market gardeners for this variety is
already enormous. The vines average 15 inches in height, and the
pods 23 inches in length, frequently borne in pairs. The pods con-
) tain from 6 to 7 large dark green peas which remain in good eatable

The Pea That Procressive Market Gardeners |
are Going Wild Over
T am most fortunate indeed to be able to offer this great pea called Potlatch or Big |
Dinner. I had no idea the demand would be so large or that the pea would be so
popular, a variety from which any one may expect great things. It seems to me
that every gardener who had ever tried Potlatch in small quantities wanted at
least a sack or two, so that early in the past season my entire crop was completely
exhausted. Potlatch is Chenook Indian for Big Dinner, hence the name Potlatch.
The vines are vigorous, growing 20 to 24 inches high, with unusually dark green
foliage, which can be distinguished from that of other peas a quarter of a mile away.
The long pods are a rich dark green in color, often measuring 6 inches or more,
with 9 to 11 enormous peas ina pod. The growth of vine is sturdy and pods are
borne in pairs; it is a wonder in produc-
tiveness, and the way the peas shell out is
astonishing. Potlatch matures as early as
Premium Gem; no variety known will
produce more pods, shell better, or con-
tain more tender and delicious peas to the
pod. Potlatch has become one of my
leading varieties and has become so popu-
lar with my market gardener friends that
I expect to be sold out early in the season.
Advise sending in orders soon as possible.

496 Thomas Laxton
This grand pea was originated by crossing Gradus with a very early
seedling. It is claimed to be earlier, hardier in constitution, of better
color, and more prolific than Gradus or Prosperity. It grows like
Gradus, about 8 feet high. The wrinkled green peas are yery large, and
uniformly well filled. The pods are large, long, with square ends fine
color and of unsurpassed quality. Many market gardeners have
planted the Thomas Laxton in preference to Gradus, to their entire
Satisfaction. My opinion of Thomas Laxton is that it is not as early as
Gradus by three or four days; at the same time it is, if anything more
productive, peas are fully as large, of a richer green color. Planted side
by side, it is frequently a hard matter fo tell which is the better of the
two varieties, hence, both are very popular with up-to-date market
gardeners. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 30¢.; qt., 55¢., postpaid. By express or

gardeners cannot get enough of these peas, in fact, all along Long Island Sound, this
pea is considered one of the most profitable varieties for the trucker, and as soon as its
merits become more largely known, there will be an enormous demand for it rots
market gardeners all over the country.
There are few varieties of seed in this catalogue that are better named than this pea.
Nothing more nearly expresses its one remarkable characteristic than its name
Prodigious. When you consider that this variety will produce pods attaining
the extraordinary length of 7 inches and upwards, closely packed with 11 to 18
large, dark green peas of fine flavor, every reader of this book must admit it
is wellnamed. For exhibition purposes it is Simply unsurpassed. Exhibited
at all the leading shows in England, the last few years, it has always taken first
prize, and it will create just as much excitement in America as it has there.
The plant is of branching habit, growing about 6 feet in height, with dark
green foliage. It is of very vigorous and robust constitution, which -
enables it to withstand drought and mildew. The pods are produced in y/
great profusion, mostly in pairs. Prodigious cannot be excelled as an
exhibition sort, on account of its striking and very attractive appear-
ance; and will also be in demand wherever there is a call for a pea of
robust habit, fine quality and hardy constitution. Market garden-
ers who do not know Prodigious should give it a trial. There are
thousands of my customers who will be delighted to show their
friends such enormous pods of peas, the largest, by far, they have
eyer seen, which in addition to large size combine rich and succu-
lent fiavor. Packet, 15 cts.; pint, 35 cts.; quart, 60 cts., post=

s4 The Perfect Sugar Pea
| Mammoth Luscious Sugar
Edible Pods. Choice for Snap Shorts
Unsurpassed by Any Other Sort
This splendid sugar pea fully maintains its repu-
tation aS a choice table variety. Indeed, my sales
of the seed increase year by year. The peas are not
shelled, but the pod is eaten likea snap bean. The
pods are stringless, and in flavor, brittleness and
succulence are unexcelled. The vines are very tall,
reaching a height of 5 or 6feet and requiring sup-
port. The full grown pods are 6to7 inches long and
1% inches broad, and are produced continuously for
a considerable period, the vines having great bear-
| ing capacity on account of their height. The pods
are sometimes sliced for cooking, because of their
size, and may be served with butter or white sauce.
. They can be made ready for the table in 10 or 15
minutes, and are good even when quite old. Excel-
lent also for pickles. The sweetness and tenderness
of this edible-podded pea insure it a permanent
place in the garden. It isso enormously productive
of delicious pods, that a few packets of the seed will
supply an ordinary family. It sheculd be tried
where bush beans and snap shorts are relished,
Crop almost a total failure. Pkt., 15 cts.; 2 pkts.,

~ As to its origin and history, the originator
says of it: ‘“‘Hureka Kxtra Harly was a
chance hill found growing in a field of
Early Morn potatoes, season of 1895. In
looking over the field a single plant was
noticed distinct from the rest, which died
while the others were still green.
“Tt has never failed to produce a large
crop of extra early potatoes. ‘The plant is
dwarf and compact, maturing in advance
of the Early Rose and Freeman. It never
has had the blight. The tubers are round, [{
slightly flattened. White skin, free from {
disease. Flesh, white and mealy; no cores
or black specks. Quality unsurpassed.
“One point alone which makes it valu-
able is that it has never taken second
growth, and resists drought better than any
other potato I have ever grown. North,

potato on the market.
The tuber is oval in shape and russet in
color. The flesh is very white, both raw
and when cooked, fine grained and of best
flavor, The greatest merits of this variety
are its extreme earliness and long keeping
qualities. Irom. the time the tubers are as

with their jackets on, and appear snow

Maule’s
Early Thoroughbred
The Quickest Basket Filler
Maule’s Early Thoroughbred was
first offered to the public in 1896, at
$25.00 a barrel, Since which time I have
received hundreds of reports of field
crops running up to 300 bushels per
acre. On account of its earliness it is
not much affected by the usual mid-
summer and autumn droughts, while
in keeping qualities it is unsurpassed
by any late variety under cultivation.
The illustration does not in any way
exaggerate its Smooth and handsome
appearance. It produces an unus-
ually large proportion of merchant-
able tubers. The potatoes grow closely
in the hill, and are of large and nearly
uniform size. Mr, T,. B. Terry, the well-
known Ohio potato grower, made a
comparative test of Maule’s Early
Thoroughbred with a potato in fayor in
his neighborhood, the result being as 45

for Sir Walter Raleigh that it is the whitest

A World Wide Favorite
It is a most excellent extra early variety,
maturing good size tubers seven weeks from
time of planting. It has also the remarkable
characteristic of producing very few, if any,
small potatoes, all the tubers being of mar-
ketable size. The vines make short, upright
growth, so that the hills may be only a short |
distance apart. The flesh is pure white, with |
a clean, smooth, white skin; and in quality
they are excellent, always cooking dry and
mealy. Splendid keepers, and a first-class sort
worth the attention of all potato growers.

MAULE’S 1834 OR ALL YEAR ROUND RADISH.
(Grows as uniform in shape and size as peas in a pod.)
571 Maule’s 1834
or Ail Year Round
This high-bred white radish, which I introduced to the public a num-
ber of years ago, was brought to America in 1834 by a German gardener.
lt is now most widely known under the name of 1834. It is of beau-
tiful ivory color, and of crisp, brittle texture. That it has been in favor
for two-thirds of a century is proof of its extra good quality, and I wish
to say that my seed has always been from one and the same grower,
and still maintains its original excellence. The shape is shown in the
illustration. It is truly a radish of fixed habit, with an unusually long
and well-known pedigree. It is solid in character, and conspicuously
uniform in growth and size. Adapted to every season; to forcing as
well as to open air culture. Gives satisfaction every where.
Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 15 cts.; 14 pound, 40 cts.; pound, $1.50.
se White Box
A most excellent radish for forcing under glass or for growing in the
open ground. Its short top and rapid growth make it a great favorite
with market men, and its mild, sweet quality wins the favor of the
consumer. White Box is one of the best white globe-shaped radishes
for early summer use, as it remains solid and crisp longer than any of
the other early sorts. It never becomes pithy unless it is left in the
ground longer than it requires to mature. At Philadelphia and else-
where the market men grow it extensively in glass covered frames
without heat. The frames are sometimes called “boxes,” and hence the
name of the radish. A desirable white sort for the home garden.
Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 10 cts.; 14 pound, 25 cts.; pound, 80 cts.

CRIMSON GIANT RADI
se Crimson Giant
This is a new early turnip-shaped radish, double the size of any of
the early turnip-shaped type, and equally suitable for forcing or early
planting out of doors. It is a rapid growing sort, developing roots of
a beautiful deep crimson color, which vary in shape from round to
almost oval, and often measure from 6 to 7 inches in circumference,
The flesh is the purest white, mild in flavor, firm and crisp, and
entirely free from the hollow or pithy centre. Good for market gar-
deners, for forcing or open ground culture. It is especially fine for
bunching for early market from plantings in the open ground. Matur-
Ing in 25 to 30 days. Producing larger radishes quicker than most sorts.
Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 10 cts.; {4 pound, 30 cts.; pound, $1.00.
ss Karly Scarlet Olive Shaped
Also known as Half Long Deep Scarlet. This highly desirable early
radish is of quick growth and attractive rich carmine color. Of good
appearance and is of mild flavor, with crisp fesh. Grown extensively
in the South for early shipment. Does equally as well in the North.
It is half long or olive in shape with somewhat tapering point.
Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 10 cts.; 14 pound, 25 cts.; pound, 75 cts.
so Cooper’s Sparkler
A new and distinct globe-shaped radish. The roots, even when fully
developed, are solid, crisp and sweet, remaining fit for use longer than
most of the other globe-shaped sorts. The colors are more vivid and
attractive. The upper part isa rich carmine scarlet, with a large tip
of the purest white, which is quite distinct from any other variety. An
excellent forcing sort for either greenhouse or frames or for growing in
the open ground. My seed is direct from the originator.

color, while the flesh is pure white, and always
tender, mild and sweet. It has a small, short
top, and is well adapted to open air culture or
to forcing under glass. In favorable weather
and in good soil it will mature in 18 to 20 days
from the sowing of the seed. It is extensively
used by market gardeners and truckers, who
hold it in high esteem. It is good, quick and

CuLTURE.—For early Spring use, sow seed in August or September,
in rich soil. Upon approach of cold weather, cover the plants with
8 inches of straw or salt hay. In the Spring, when dry, remove litter
and plants will be ready for use in a short time. Sow seed 1 inch deep
in rows 1 foot apart or broadcast. For a succession, sow every two
weeks from April to August. Use 1 ounce to 100 feet of drill; 8 to 10
pounds per acre in drills; 12 to 15 pounds broadcast.

» Japanese Turnip
THIS VARIETY IS FROM THE LAND OF THE MIKADO
A Large, Tender and Sweet Turnip, Deserving Universal Trial
This grand turnip is a large white variety, of great merit, and comes
directly from Japan; in fact, the seed which I offer was actually grown
in Japan, and was imported expressly for this season's sales, The shape
of the turnip, a8 shown in the illustration, is between flat and globe. The
color is a pure white, both outside and inside, except that there is a pale
tinting of green on top, near the leaves. As it is a large turnip it has
correspondingly large and vigorous leaves. It is solid and meaty in
flesh. AS a heavy cropper and reliable winter keeper it cannot be ex-
celled, and Iam able to recommend it highly to farmers and gardeners.
It will be found adapted to table use as well as to stock. This variety
has become quite popular, and is now largely grown.

Johnson County White Dent Corn
A Single Ear Has Won $1,000 in Prizes
i hite dent corn is one of the sensations among progressive
ae ie Ee Chicago and Omaha National Corn Iixpositions, this
variety has captured prizes amounting to $10,183.50. It has Ree ere the
Grand Prize at the St. Louis Exposition and the Silver Medal a e Paris
Exposition. The reason for this is because
it complies with the score card more than
any other corn grown. The high breeding
of this variety makes it uniform in exhibit.
The ears are cylindrical in shape up to
within about 2 inches of the tip, where
there is a slight tapering. Both kernel
and cob are white. The tips of the ears are
well filled, a large percentage of them béing
completely covered with grain. The butts
are deeply rounded with medium shanks.
The kernels are uniform in size and very
long and wedge-shaped. The ears will
average about 10 inches in length and from
7% to 8 inches in cireumference. There is
very little space between the rows and this
variety yields a very high percentage of
shelled corn. The stalk is good and thrifty,
ranging in height from 10 to 12 feet. An
excellent root system enables the stalk to
stand up under a heavy load of corn even
during severe rain and wind storms, This
variety has no barren stalks and is practi-
cally free from smut and other corn dis-
eases, It is strong in pollen and stands a
great deal of scorching wind and sun.
Matures in about 110 days. According to
analysis Johnson County White Dent is-
very rich in protein, which every stock
raiser will appreciate, This corn has been
known to yield from 100 to 125 bushels per
acre and gives excellent satisfaction to all
who have grown it as far north as 80 miles
above Philadelphia. As long as my supply
of Johnson County White Dent holds out,
I will be pleased to furnish it at the follow-
ing prices: Packet, 10 cents; pound, 30 cents;
3 pounds, 75 cents, by mail, postpaid. By express
or freight, not prepaid, peck, 75 cts.; bushel, $2.50;
2 bushels, $4.75; 10 bushels, $22.50.
Minnesota King Corn
A Yellow Half Dent Field Corn
This famous 8-rowed field corn is neither
a dent nor a flint variety, but may be de-
scribed as a half dent. It is widely adver-
tised as the most valuable early field corn
ever sent out. The introducers claim that
no other sort will produce so largely and do
so well, taking poor years with good ones,
as Minnesota King. It is able to endure
conditions of both flood and drought with
remarkable success, but what is even more
significant it can withstand changes of
temperature, and is but little injured by
heat or cold. It seems peculiarly adapted
to those locations where short seasons and
early autumn frosts make corn an uncer-
tain crop, maturing in about 85 days. The
grain is very broad and of an extremely
clear golden color, The 8-rowed ear is of
good size and shape, with a small cob.
Packet, 10 cts.; pound, 30 cts.; 3 pounds, 75 cts.,
postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, peck,

J. W. McCormick, McCormick, Ohio.—I am an old
man, having entered upon my 80th year. One year ago,
with other seeds ordered from you, IT ordered some Jobn-
son County White Dent Corn. The corn Was planted
about the middle of May in a small plot of ground. The
plot produced about 1 bushel of corn. From this bushel
was selected the ear of corn that took first premium at
the Galiia County Corn Show, took first premium at the
Ohio State Corn Show, at Columbus, and won sweep-
stakes Over all single ears in the State. It was indeed a
fine ear of corn.

A FINE YELLOW DENT CORN
Resists Drought and Scorching
Droughtproof She Bos Thad “Any UGther
Droughtproof originated in Erie County, Ohio, and came to me through Mr, C. §, Clark,
from whom I originally obtained the celebrated Early Mastodon that to-day is well and
favorably known in all sections of the country. Mr, Clark wrote to me in 1901 that if
I wanted something distinctly better than anything on the market in the way of a bright
yellow dent corn, he had it, and would give me the first chance atit. It took me buta
short time to place with Mr, Clark probably the largest order ever given for any variety of
corn the first year; in fact, I took Mr. Clark’s entire crop.
My own field notes in regard to Droughtproof were in substance as follows:
The largest grain of any Yellow Dent Corn. The smallest cob of any Yellow Dent Corn.
Brightest color of grain, Fully as early as Leaming. Yield not excelled by any other
; > sort. Strong growth of stalk and hand-
Some ear. An unusual yield of shelled
corn insured by great depth of grain.
Under date of November 6th, 1901, Mr.
Clark wrote to me as follows:
‘You are fortunate to have the new
Droughtproof yellow dent corn to place
before your customers. More corn fields
have been ruined by the drought and hot
sun Iilling the tassel and pollen this past
Season than the writer has eyer known,
and especially is this fact true in the great
corn belt, This new corn (now named
Droughtproot) went on through six weeks
of growing weather without a drop of rain,
and the heat the most severe ever known
in this section, and it has made a crop
where other sorts failed. All fields that
leaned towards the hot sun burned up.
The pollen on these fields was killed,
therefore the sill was not fertilized; result,
no grains on the coh, On the other hand,
a large field of this wonderful strong-grow-
ing variety, which leaned toward the sun,
kept green and yielded over 100 bushels per
acre. I do not hesitate to say that, all
points considered — ils beantiful color,
Small cob, long yellow grains, large ears—
taking all points combined, it is the finest
yellow corn ever introduced, and each cus-
tomer who gives it a trial will be fully con-
vinced that it is the best 90 to 100 day corn
he ever planted.”
Droughtproof Corn is phenomenally ex-
cellent, and should be tried by all farmers.
It will yield big crops wherever corn can
be grown. I advise all my friends to try it.

Reid’s Yellow Dent
The Most Popular Yellow Dent Corn
in the Great Central Corn Belt. Does
Equally as well in Pennsylvania as it
Does in Illinois.
For a number of years past Reid’s Yel-
low Dent has been one of the most popu-
lar varieties of the Middle West, some peo-
ple going so far as to say there is more of
this corn planted than of all other sorts
combined, It is a truedent corn, color »
beautful golden yellow, with one of the
smallest cobs for size of ear of any yellow
corn. Kars are frequently 10 to 11 inches
long, and from 7 to 8 inches in circumfer-
ence. It is easily shelled and matures its
crop under fayorable conditions in about
115 days. It undoubtedly has taken more
prizes at the Illinois State Fair and other
great corn shows than any other variety.
The 10 ears that won the sweepstakes at
the Great National Corn Exposition some
years ago sold at auction for $200, or $20.00
a piece. I have an unusual crop of seed
this season, grown in the Middle West,
and will furnish it as long as the supply
holds out, at the following prices :

Maule’s Improved Mastodon Corn
The Earliest of all the Large Eared Varieties
Has a Record of 213 Bushels of Shelled Corn to the Acre
In the celebrated American Agriculturist corn contest, Imp. Mastodon outyielded
every other yellow corn, On the farm of Alfred Rose, Yates county, New ons it
produced 213 bushels of shelled corn to the acre, and on the farm of George a
Pawnee county, Nebraska, it produced 171 bushels of shelled corn to the acre. In
both cases I furnished the seed. Rucieat
There has been a brisk demand for this corn for years past, and my supply has
hot infrequently been completely exhausted early in the season. I regret to eas
that unscrupulous dealers have sold a great deal of inferior or impure seed under the
name of Mastodon, thus deceiving their customers and injuring the reputation of a
noble variety of corn. My suggestion is, therefore, that purchases be made
only from reliable neighbors who have raised the stock or that orders be
sent direct to me at 21st and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, for the true head-
quarters seed, and run no risk. ‘ i :
Maule’s Improved Early Mastodon combines large yield, large grains
and extra early quality to a remarkable degree, It originated with Mr.
O. 5, Clark, of Ohio, probably the largest grower of seed corm in America,
Mr. Clark grows every variety of com known to the American public, and
Glaimis Mastodon to be the best of all. He truly says that it is a high
bred corn of beautiful color, Nothing surpasses it in number of rows on
cob, and in depth of grains. It makes fine looking shelled corn, showing

THE CLOVERS
ALFALFA
The Supreme Leader of All the Clovers
No crop ever grown has had such a conspicuous place in increasing
the profit from agriculture as alfalfa. The U. 8. Dept. of Agriculture
is authority for the statement that alfalfa at two years. adds $100 to the
value of every acre on which it grows. Its long fibrous roots working
their way far down into the soil liberate, after the hay is cut, an im-
mense yolume of plant foods to be drawn on for years to come by
future crops. It can be cut8to5timea year and produces from 8 to 7
tons of hay per acre. Asa feed for cattle, swine poultry or stock of any
kind, owing to its large percentage of protein, if is unsurpassed. Alfalfa
can be grown successfully in any State in the Union, but on lands not
inoculated I reeommend the use of '*Farmogerm”’ listed on the sundry
page of this book. Alfalfa requires a well prepared seed bed, well
drained, well limed land, with plenty of humus supplied by the gener-
ous use of well rotted manure. Sow from 15 to 25 pounds per acre in
April or May or July and August. ;

cows on account of high percentage of nitrogenous elements. Sow 8

press or freight, peck., $2.75; bushel, of 60 Ibs., $10.00.

original type. It has a longer life than ordinary Red Clover. Attains
a height of 5 or 6 feet. Weight of seed the same. Pound, 35 cents;

For Out-door Use. the use of Panmure Plant Food at the rate of
1,000 to 2,000 pounds per acre, in connection with a liberal amount of
stable manure, or else upon sod spaded down or plowed under. This
may sound like a large amount of high-grade fertilizer to use, but it is
no more than is applied by the commercial gardeners and truckers
near the great cities. It is better to make several applications of ferti-
lizer during a year than to put it all in at one time.

able thing for grass. J have used it with the most excellent results on
grass, clover and forage plants. It produces a rich, green, healthy
color, and a vigorous growth. Itis just right for the lawn, and may be
used in spring, summer or autumn. A 10-pound package of Panmure

tested it upon almost every farm crop, in my Panmure trials, and have

When I bought land in southern New Jersey, a few years ago, for seed growing and testing purposes, I had a
fertilizer prepared for my own particular and exclusive use. E

for sale. It has been used long enough for me now truthfully to say that it has added hundreds and even thousands
of dollars to the value of my own crops, both at Panmure, New Jersey, and at Briar Crest, Pennsylvania.
This excellent fertilizer contains enough ammonia to insure plants a quick start, enough phosphoric acid for
all seed growing or grain growing purposes, and enough potash to give flavor to fruit and brilliance to flowers. It
is not only well and liberally supplied with plant foods, but these foods are perfectly balanced. The great Secret of
the success of Panmure Plant Food, however, lies in the fact that every one of its ingredients is a high-grade and
first-class article. It was a lucky formula that I selected for my Panmure trial crounds, and itis this good luck
that I am now offering to share with my friends.
Tt was made on a special formula, from high-grade

Prices at first glance may seem high, but I can safely say, without
reserve, that Panmure Plant Food, when applied intelligently, will be
worth several times as much as the ordinary commercial fertilizer,
