In making a new lawn it is of the utmost importance that the ground should be free from weeds, and to attain this end a thorough summer fallowing is the best method. Before sowing, the ground should be carefully raked and then sown evenly, and lightly raked in, after which it should be well rolled or “‘tamped”’ down with the back of a spade. New manure should never be used on account of the numerous weeds which it is sure to produce.

CULTURE—The soil shouldbe rich, mellow and deep, manure having been applied the previous year. Never use manure in spring. Sow as early as the ground can be worked, in drills about one inch deep and in rows about sixteen to eighteen inches apart, pressing the soil firmly over the seed. When the young plants are two to three inches high thin out to from 4 to 6 inches, according to size of variety, keeping in mind that medium-sized, good-colored rootsare best.

For winter use, the Turnip varieties may be sown the first week in June, and in October the roots ean be stored in a cellar, and covered with sand to prevent shrivelling.
One ounce will sow about 75 feet of drill; five pounds to an acre,

CULTURE—For plants of the earliest sorts sow seed in January or February under glass, and prick out in flats or frames about 2 inches apart each way. Transplant to open ground as soon in spring as the land can be properly prepared. A rich, warm, fibrous loam is best. Have the plants in the rows 20 to 24 inches apart, and rows at least 2 feet-apart. "Give thorough culti- vation, and irrigate‘in dry weather if practicable. Protect against the ravages of ¢utworm, maggot and green worm. A little nitrate of soda applied around the plant is of great benefit. Potash applications, such as wood ashes-or muriate, may also do much good. For late Cabbage plants, sow seed in drills in open ground during April and May, and transplant in June, giv- ing the plants more room than allowed for earliest Cabbages. Dusting with tobacco dust, insect powder, etc., or splashing with hot soapsuds, especially Whale Oil Soap solution, are good and safe remedies for some of the insect pests attack- ing plants of the Cabbage.

The heads are of medium size (weighing from six to eight pounds trimmed), tender and of fine flavor. They keep well when put away and consequently “Enkhuizen Glory’’ is valuable also for sowing later in the season for early winter use. Plants set out in mid-summer will produce fine heads before cold weather. 14 Ib. $4.00; oz. $1.40; pkt. 10c.

It is invariably the win- ning sort when well grown. Pkt. 25c.
2 CULTURE—Celery requires water and lots of it, from the time the seed is sown in boxes in March until it is pulled in the autumn, Celery can be successfully grown in any good garden soil, by using plenty of well-rotted manure with a liberal sprinkling of coarse salt worked into it, and this mixture should be put in the trenches, working it well into the soil, at least two weeks before the plants are transplanted inte them. It delights, however, in low, moist. rich bottom land, or well-drained muck soil. Sow the seed in a hot-hed or cold frame, or in the open ground, as soon as fit to work

COUNTRY GENTLEMAN
Plump, pearly-white, milky kernels. Retaining its delicate tender- ee even when a little old. Very productive. The ear is nearly all
orn.
It is at once the delight of the epicure and a luxury within the reach of everybody. ‘The kernels are perfectly round at the end, but of extraordinary depth, the cob being extremely small; nothing, in fact, but a core.
It is of nectar-like sweetness, luscious, tender and milky, and remains “‘in the milk” longer than other Sweet Corn. The ears measure eight to nine inches in length and the plant is very prolific.
The grains are slender and deep and of irregular shoe-peg arrange- ment. Lb. 45c.; 14 Ib. 15c. (post paid, lb. 55c.)

STOWELL’S IMPROVED EVERGREEN
Tor many years this variety has stood at the head of the list of late Sweet Corn, and it bids fair to hold the position for years to come. For main late crop, for the family garden, for the market grower and the canner, it is unexcelled. Stalk strong, bearing two 12-rowed ears, with large sweet kernels. Remains in good condition for some time after gathering, thus continuing the season after frosts. Lb. 45c.; 14 Vb. 15c. (post paid, Ib. 55c.).

THE DAVIS PERFECT
By using this variety gardeners can produce out-of-door Cucum- bers that will sell in the market for hothouse forcing varieties. The shape is ideal. It is almost seedless one-third of its length from the stem, and the few seeds that are contained in its blossom end when in eating condition are so small and tender that they are hardly noticeable. Most important of all, it does not lose its dark, rich color when grown outdoors. It is hard to tell the difference between it and a hothouse cucumber. Lb. $2.25; 14 lb. 75c.; oz. 25c.; pkt. 10c.
EWING’S IMPROVED WHITE SPINE
It is early, prolific, and produces a continuous crop of uniformly large and symmetrical fruits of an intensely rich deep green color, faintly marked with light yellowish shading toward the tip. It runs very close to type, bearing practically no misshapen fruit or culls. It is the ideal for slicing; the flesh is compact, fine grained, sparkling white and of most refreshing and delightful flavor. ‘The vines are vigorous, quite healthy, mildew-proof, maintaining their luxuriance and bearing abundantly from the earliest to the latest season.

Procure the quantity necessary of fresh horse droppings, as free from straw as possible and moist with urine if it can be got that way. Turn this over, say 3 or 4 times in a week, covering the heap to prevent washing with rain or drying out with the sun. To this then add a fourth of its bulk of nice light loamy soil, mixing all carefully together. The bed should be made 4 ft. wide and whatever length is required. Put twelve inches or so in the bottom of the bed of rough manure tramped down, and on top of this 4 to 6 inches of the prepared manure, when the temperature has declined to 130, the latter being put on in layers and pressed down firmly and smoothly. Then put planks on edge to form a box round the bed and nail firmly together and cover all over with clean hay or straw.
When the bed thus made registers 90 to 95 degrees a few inches below the surface then break a brick of spawn into 12 pieces and place these pieces 1}4 inches deep and 8 inches apart. When tem- perature of bed reaches 85 degrees remove the straw and cover the whole surface over with two inches of fine sifted loam, beating it down firmly and smoothly, then put on the covering again. Water- ing is of the greatest importance. If dung was moist when bed was made watering will likely not be necessary till after spawning, but look over the bed weekly and give a thorough watering, with water at a temperature of 95 degrees, when necessary going over the bed twice, using a fine spray. Be sure that at the end of six weeks, if the bed shows any sigus of dry- ing out to water thoroughly then, because by watering when the bed is bearing, the small mushrooms are liable to damp off. When first crop is gathered, procure some dry cow manure and mix thoroughly with a little fine soil, covering the bed over with half an inch of the compost, beating it smooth, and give a good water- ing then. Mushrooms should always be picked, not cut.

MUSK MELON
Fr. MELON MUSCADE.
CULTURE—Melons thrive best in a light, rich soil. Plant in May, when the ground has become warm and dry, hills 5 to 6 feet apart each way for Musk melons, 8 to 10 feet for Water melons. Previous to sowing the seed mix a few shovelfuls of well-rotted manure in each hill, and plant in each 12 to 15 seeds, after all danger of bugs is over, thin out to three or four plants per hill, A few hills for early use may be had by sowing on pieces of sod in a hotbed. Seed can also be sown in the house in March in a six-inch pot, and when warm enough transplant to open ground. Melon vines are subject to the same destructive insect and fungous foes as are cucumber and squash vines. Early and repeated spraying with Bordeaux Arsenate of Lead Mixture is always advisable for these crops.
One ounce will plant about 60 hills.

LIVINGSTON’S GLOBE
The Finest Early Purple Tomato
LIVINGSTON’S GLOBE is an extra good all-round sort, of a distinct globe shape, with quite a large percentage of elongated fruits, on account of its shape, one that permits of a great number of slices to be made from each fruit. We class it with the first earlies, both in greenhouses as well as in the field. The fruits are of large size, and a good marketable siz tained throughout the season. Tt is always smooth, of firm flesh, and few se ripens evenly; color, a fine glossy rose, tinged with purple, and without the slightest tinge of yellow at any stage of ripening.

SUGAR: BEET. ae
KLEIN-WANZLEBEN—The most popular variety for sugar factories. The sugar content depends on intelligent care and development on the part of the seed grower. It is wedge-shaped, wide at the top and tapering gradually to a long tail. This variety is most planted by sugar factories as it has a high sugar content. One of the ‘greatest milk-producing roots known, yy 1b. 30c; Ib. $1.00 (post paid, Ib. $1.10.)

SUGAR BEET
Is intermediate in form, not so long as the Long Red Mangel, but of much greater diameter of shoulder which is a rosy color, while below the ground the root is nearly white. Its pre-eminent qualities are heavy production, solidity, thus rendering it agrand keeper; great feeding value on account of its extra percentage of saccharine matter, occasioned by its origin being the hybridizing of the Long Red Mangel with the richest sugar-producing varieties of Sugar Beets; ease in harvesting, as it has but one taproot. To sum up its advantages, it is a much greater cropper than any variety of Sugar Beet, more nutritive than any Mangel and on account of its sweet sugary flavor is greedily eaten by all classes of stoek, and produces the richest and best flavored Milk and Butter while for Beef production it is particularly pro- fitable. 34 Ib. 30c.; Ib. $1.00 (post paid, Ib. $1.10.)
CARROT-. Seok
FIELD VARIETIES
Carrot seed, if sown when the soil is cold, germinates slowly, so that it is best to allow the warm spring weather to have set in before sowing. When sowing be careful to roll the drills, or in some way “‘firm” the soil round the seed. Four pounds of seed will sow an acre.

SUDAN GRASS
.,, sudan Grass will not replace Timothy or Clover but will doubtless compete with Millet wherever that is now grown. ,
Sudan Grass belongs to the Sorghum family. It is an annual, lacking un- derground root stalks. Two cuttings can be obtained under favorable conditions, and growers report two big crops last season. ‘The yields vary from 1 to 8 tons of cured hay per acre. 4
. Sudan grass when seeded broadcast or in drills averages about 3 to 5 feet in height and has stems a little smaller than a lead pencil, being about three-six- teenths of an inch in diameter. If grown in rows and cultivated it reaches a height of 5 to 9 feet, and the stems are larger than usual, being about one-fourth of an inch in diameter. The panicle is loose and open.
It does best in hot weather and is not suited to high altitudes. Sudan Grass makes heaviest yields on a rich loam, but it has been grown successfully on almost every class of soil from a heavy clay to a light sand. The ground should be firm and well drained. i ‘
Sow Sudan Grass after soil has become warm, about corn-planting time. It may be drilled from one-half to one inch deep. When broadcast, sow 16 to 24 Ibs. per acre; in rows, 6 lbs. per acre.

It is evident that the variety has much to do with the profit resulting from the Siloing: of Corn. We mean by that that the weight of crop per acre regulates the cost per ton of the Ensilage, so that the varieties that will produce the most tons per acre, and at the same time are sure to ripen enough for the Silo before frost comes, are the most profitable. Location and time of sowing has to be taken into account. If not sown till well on in June, sow an early Flint Corn, in most sections of the Dominion. If sown middle of May, a taller and later sort would be most profitable. There are many varieties of Dent Corn that, even in the Province of Quebec, are certain to come to the right stage of maturity for Siloing, and that will produce from a quarter to a third more than the Flint varieties.
One very important point to be observed in sowing Corn is this, that the distance apart in

We would also recommend buyers, if they receive their Corn early in spring, to spread it out and thus keep it in perfect condition till sowing time.
DENT VARIETIES

This Corn can truly be called the “Universal Corn.” Ear medium in size, remarkably uniform, and of a bright yellow color, with solid, deep grain and small red cob.

SPRING RYE—It is quite hardy and the seed can be sown as soon in: the spring as the frost is out of the ground. It grows very rapidly and should be cut as soon as the head appears, when it makes good green fodder and hay. It is best cut with the binder and handled in sheaves, in which shape it cures well. The yield varies from 1 to 4 tons per acre. It grows again after cutting, affording considerable pasture in a moist season. In districts liable to dry weather, nothing can equal Rye to produce a crop.
_ FALL—The variety commonly cultivated for grain, straw, green fodder, etc.
SPELTZ OR EMMER
(40 lbs. to Bushell)

“FLOWER
ASTER HEART OF FRANCE
- The best pure red Aster ever introduced. All others have somber ~shades of blue or too much yellow in the color pigments. Heart of France opens red as the purest ruby, deepens with age and retains its remarkable beauty to the very end. ‘The petals appear strikingly _ changeable, showing now a glow and sheen quite unique, now a soft, warm, velvety texture. In any light, natural or artificial, Heart of France is startlingly beautiful and will command instant admiration.
The flowers are large and full with never a trace of hollow center. The plants are of branching type and very robust habit. The stems are long and strong and have very few laterals. The plants begin to bloom quite early in the season and open fully with the mid- season varieties. They retain their brilliancy and luster for a longer period than almost any other color.
This will be a tip-top variety for florists as well as home gardeners for the reason that the flowers and stems are so large and vigorous and their shipping and long-keeping qualities are such as to make it a winner for almost any purpose. Heart of France will surely supplant all other reds and near reds of either branching or upright types because of its marvelous beauty and other satisfactory charac- teristics. Pkt. 35 cts.
-VICK’S PEERLESS YELLOW ASTER
Now we have the pleasure of introducing a big yellow Aster with type securely fixed. Every flower will become a beautiful chrysan- themum yellow. The flowers are remarkably full and ball shaped, with centers so deeply covered with curled and twisted florets that the variety is almost a record breaker in scarcity of producing seed.
. The plants are of branching type and very vigorous. It is not unusual to find a plant with from twenty to thirty good flowering stems sufficiently long and with flowers of ample size for extra fancy cut flower purposes. So numerous and large are the flowers that the plants are completely covered like a golden dome. Frequently visitors comment on its resemblance to a miniature yellow snowball. In a bed the plants will easily fill across two foot rows. In a border a single row is ample. It is certainly a winner in its class and color. Pkt., 35c. :

There is no doubt but that this new-type of Sweet Peas, put out last year for the first time, fills a distinct want. Not everybody is fortunate enough to live where Sweet Peas will flourish, and, strange as it may seem, this new class of Sweet Peas is useful, both where the seasons are too hot for Sweet Peas ordinarily, and too cold, ‘The best varieties for greenhouse forcing everywhere. In climates which are cold and where frosts come early, these same Sweet Peas, by taking less time to come into flower, will give.a month more bloom than the ordinary late varieties. ..
These Sweet Peas are entirely new and are here introduced for the first time.
We do not mean that these New Early Sweet Peas should take the place of the magnificent Late Flowering Spencers, but they are an addition to the garden of those who wish flowers early and late.

VICK’S SILVERY ROSE ASTER
Here is another robust, long-stemmed, large-flowering new variety- Every petal is a combination of deep lilac rose, almost cerise, very delicately threaded with white. Do not get the impression that this is a striped variety. The threads are so tiny as to give the petals a silvery sheen. Even the slightest change in light will shade the petals from a rich glowing rosy cerise to a silvery rose. The ladies say that the old-fashioned color, Ashes of Roses, exactly describes this color. Others call it Old Rose. But as it is infinitely better than several of the earlier varieties introduced by us, to which we gave the name Old Rose, it would be a pity to handicap this mammoth glorious flower with a name suggestive of these inferior predecessors.
The plants are very vigorous. The stems are unusually long and the flowers very large. ‘his variety stands out above every other in the field in which it grows for size and vigor. ‘The unusual, dis- tinctive color is so appropriate for wreaths, design and decorative work, that we fancy it will rival in popularity our Lavender Pink, which without question is the most’ popular color, except white, with the cut flower trade.

HINTS HOW TO RAISE FLOWERS FROM SEED
SOIL. — A medium rich porous soil pro- duces the best blooms.
SOWING, — Never sow seed in the open ground till the soil is warm, nor when it is very wet. Rake the patches perfectly smooth where seeds are to be sown, and after sowing cover with sand or finely sifted light soil. Small seeds require the least possi- ble covering and larger ‘ones more, in propor- tion to size—2 or 3 times the diameter of seeds being sufficient. Press the soil down after sowing, with a smooth boavd; shade till plants grow, and keep moist.
THINNING, TRANSPLANTING and STAKING Keep thinning out as plants grow, transplant- ing these thinnings ac- cording to number of plants required. Dis- tance between plants in beds should not be less than half the height of the variety. All slender growing but tall plants should be tied up to neat stakes.
Transplant when weather is cloudy and shade if sun comes too strong for a few days. Biennials should, as a rule, be treated as Annuals, but should be sown in the house or hotbed and transplant- ed in May to where intended to bloom.
SOWING IN BOXES.—Tender An-
nuals and Biennials had better be sown indoors, Fill a shallow
box to within an inch of the top with equal pase sand and. light oam, thoroughly mixed and carefully sifted. Sow seed thinly in rows, pressing seeds gently into the earth, then cover lightly with finely sifted soil, Cover box ,with a. pane of glass, shade (vith paper and place in the win- dow. Keep moist till plants are up.

These truly grand Asters win enthusiastic admiration from all who seé th They are a highly developed American type of the German Comet, siahed: zollern or Mammoth Ostrich Plume Asters and are far superior to imported strains.

_ ANTIRRHINUMS
(OR SNAPDRAGON)
_ The plants are of healthy, robust growth, free and cor-
tinuous blooming, producing long, graceful spikes of im- mense and durable pure colored flowers, either rich and brilliant or soft and dainty, as may be selected. Their continuous-blooming qualities, ease of culture and inde- pendence of heat and drought, and pure, bright colors, should entitle them to a permanent place in gardens. Spring-sown seed produces flowering plants by July, which continue to bloom in increasing profusion until frost. The flowers are nearly double the size of the older sorts. An effective bed may be formed by planting the center with the tall varieties, and the middle rows with the semi- dwarf, using the dwarf sorts for the border or outer edge: planted in a combination of separate colors the effect is very beautiful—although even a “‘Mixed”’ bed is a feast for the eyes: the plants should be placed 9 inches apart each way. Pinching out the tops—although it delays the beginning of flowering—forces the plants to branch out and ultimately gives better results, (See cut).

LARKSPURS
This is one of the best known of garden flowers and in recent years a vast improvement has been effected, by careful selection in size and color of the blossoms and the general habit of the plant. Seeds sown in the open ground before the close of April will produce flowering plants by the beginning of July, and give a continuous succession of flowers from then until frost, a record that is not surpassed by any other annual. They make handsome beds or lines, and their free, graceful habit and bright colors are very effective when interspersed in the old-fashioned flower or shrubbery border. They stand well when cut, and a vase of one or mixed colors is indeed charming.

ZINNIA
One of the most brilliant and showy of annuals, which has long been a general favorite. They come in flower early in the Summer and keep on blooming until hard frost; require little attention and succeed almost anywhere. For perfection of blossom start the seeds in March and prick out once or twice before transferring to the open border in May or June. Provide the plants with plenty of room, at east 18 inches apart each way, and they soon completely cover the ground.

770A. ACHIEVEMENT (Elegans Robusta Grandiflora)—The raising of this beautiful new Zinnia is undoubtedly an “achievement in the field of horticultural endeavour.
It is distinct from all other Zinnias hitherto raised by the shape of its petals, which are partially tubular at the base and expand in a cactus-like form towards the tip, thereby displaying a rich variety of colour, mostly of the warmer shades, such as pale rose, deep rose, salmon, lilac, scarlet, and coppery golden yellow.
On the reverse side the petals are of a lilac tint, varying from light to dark, and by their singular contour they produce in the flower a rare and beautiful combination of colour never before seen amongst Zinnias.
The plant is a very free and strong grower, producing an abundance of very double flowers on stalks borne well clear of the foliage. The indivi-

Ewing’s Hardy Perennial Flower Seeds
Hardy perennials are easily raised from seed; they may be sown either in spring or during the early summer. The simplest method is to sow them ina ~ frame protecting the seedlings as they appear above ground, from the sun. The soil should be kept evenly moist but not saturated. Transplant the seedlings once or twice if necessary to prevent crowding. ; ‘

ROSES, SHRUBS, AND ALL HARDY PERENNIALS WE BOOK FOR FALL DELIVERY ONLY.
In placing our List of Hardy Perennials before our customers, we have, after some years of careful experiment and a thorough canvass of the opinion of experts throughout the country, decided that Fall planting of all Hardy Perennials, Shrubs, etc., gives decidedly the best results; so that we have decided to book orders for this class of plants for Fall deliv- ery only. In the case of Spring planting, our experience has been that at least 75 per cent. of the plants failed to recover their vitality till the fall, the result being a whole season lost, the customer dissatisfied, and the seedsman coming in for the blame, though not rightfully entitled to it. In the majority of cases, customers call for plants when the season is well advanced, and as most of the Hardy Perennials start root action immediately the frost is out of the ground, it can read- ily be seen that Perennials put in even up till the middle of October will make roots and get ready to start growth imme- diately the frost is out of the ground in Spring, thus giving satisfaction to both buyer and seller, as results are bound to be satisfactory. We would like to give a few suggestions as to culture, for the Perennials, as a class, are so amenable to a little good treatment, that they return with interest a hundredfold any little pains taken with them. If the weeds are kept down, the ground kept well cultivated between the plants, they will thrive apace. Do not forget, when planting, that you are putting in a permanent tenant, so prepare your soil accordingly. Dig the holes deeply and fill nearly to the top with well-rotted manure, then put in the plants and cover up with good soil and water well, so as to wash the earth in thoroughly between the roots. There is no more trouble then, until putting on the annual mulch in the Fall. Excel- lent results may be obtained through an application of liquid manure during flowering season. We shall be pleased to
advise our customers as to color blending, as indiscriminate plant- ing often causes violentco lor con- trasts. Also be careful in graduat- ing according to height from the back of the border down to the edge of the: walk. The end of August is about the proper time to commence planting Peonies, Iris, Hardy Lilies, etc. Owing to war conditions, we have been un- able for a few seasons to obtain French or Dutch grown Roses, but we expect to have a full line of all the old favorites as well as the latest varieties of Hybrid Teas, Teas, Hybrid Perpetuals, Shrubs, Climbers, etc., for planting next

_ +~ACID PHOSPHATE (Superphosphate)—For soils rich in lime, Acid Phosphate
r will give the quickest return and especially for crops that need, in their early
; stages, the stimulus afforded by immediately available phosphoric acid, e. g.,
the turnip crop, Acid Phosphate is also an excellent form for cereals, in con-
: eapericn with nitrogen. 300 to 400 Ibs. per acre. 100 Ibs. $2.25; per ton

BASIC SLAG (Phosphate Powder)—Basie Slag contains available Phosphoric
_ Acid, and all crops need supplies of this element. It also possesses large con-
\ tents of lime. For growing grain crops and seeding down, Basic Slag should
at _ always be employed. It produces strong straw, thus lessening the liability of
f _ the grain to “lodge,” and conduces to early ripening. On land well supplied
/ swith nitrogen, large crops of Turnips have been grown as a result of an applica-
¢ tion of 1,000 Ibs. Basic Slag per acre. To renovate wornout pastures, no better
iy. fertilizer is obtainable. Its effects are marvellous, the whole herbage being
changed andimproyed. The stock-carrying capacity of the field is soon doubled
: or trebled. Basic Slag shoulu be used on all stiff clay lands, on wet, marshy,
sour soils, and on soils deficient in lime. Basic Slag should be applied to the land at the rate of 600 to 1000 Ibs. per acre.
The effect on pasture lands should be seen for 4 to 5 years. Basic Slag should be SpEned to the land late in the Fall or at the earliest opportunity in Spring; not being soluble in water, it consequently cannot be washed out of the
' soil by rains. A splendid top dressing for lawns.
On light land it should always be applied in conjunction with potash. - not recommended for sandy or gravelly soils. 100 Ibs. $2.00; per ton $26.00.

IMPLEMENTS
No. 1 PLANET JR. Combined Drill Seeder, Wheel Hoe Cultivator and Plow. ~ Holds 3 pints. Weight .packed, 47 Ibs. Equipment—1 pair of 6-inch Hoes,3 Cultivator Teeth,1 large Garden Plow, 1 Marker.
Planet Jr. No. 1 has given complete satisfaction for over thirty-five years; used the world over and still popular.
__, The sowing cylinder is a drum of spring brass set between the driving wheels, with a sliding brass band secured in position by a cam. In drum and band are corresponding diamond-shaped discharge openings, and the sliding band quickly adjusts them for any kind of seed. Inside the drum, shields protect the openings and insure regular sowing, either with a full hopper or a thimbleful of seed. Wheeling around on the roller stops the flow of seed. From a seeder the No. 1 is changed’ to a wheel hoe by unscrewing two bolts and removing the plow, coverer and roller, when hoes, plow or cultivator teeth may be quickly substituted. $18.50.
No. 2 PLANET JR. Drill Seeder. Holds 214 quarts. Weight, packed, 41 lbs.
‘The No. 2 is one of the first really good Seed Drills ever made. It has given excellent satisfaction for many years, and does to-day. It is similar to No. 1 Planet Jr. Combined Seeder and Wheel Hoe, but larger, holding nearly twice as much seed, and having higher wheels and larger roller. Light running, simple, strong, easily set, easily understood.
$15.25. No. 3 PLANET JR. Hill and Drill Seeder. 15-inch steel driving wheel. Holds 3 quarts. Weight, packed, 43 Ibs.
The No. 3 Planet Jr. Seeder only is a popular size at a moderate price, and this is the size that should be bought by market gardeners. The steel driving wheel, with heavy steel spokes, not “‘piano wire,’” is of proper height, with broad face, making the tool light and easy-running, even with the hopper filled to the brim. . The special force feed is admirable, working equally well whether sowing with an ounce or a full hopper. When drawn back- ward the feed wheel is thrown out of gear. When passing from field to field the cam lever at ‘‘A”’ may also be used to throw gears out of contact. The hill dropping is simple and reliable, spacing hills either 4, 6, 8, 12 or 24 inches apart. Changes of distance between hills may be made in less than a minute, by changing spacing wheels. From hill to hill— this change is made or reversed almost instantly. ‘The thickness of seed is regulated by an accurate index with brass screw adjustment; it contains the names of the important seeds, and is-carefully graduated both for hills and drills. The flow of seed is instantly stopped by pulling the cut-off at the top of the handle. Not a hill need be missed in start~ a ibe any seed wasted in stopping. ‘The marker rod is adjustable from 6 to 20 inches.
.75.
No. 4 PLANET JR. Combined Hill and Drill Seeder, Wheel Hoe, Cultivator and Plow. Holds 214 quarts. Weight, complete, 50 Ibs.
i Eaninnant:=1 pair of 6-inch Hoes, 3 Cultivator Teeth, 1 Garden Plow, 1 Leaf Guard, Marker. ‘
The No. 4 Seeder is a special favorite; there are doubtless more of them in use than any other Seeder made. With it one can do almost all the hoeing and general work in the garden. It sows all garden seeds in continuous rows with uniformity or in hills 4, 6, 8, 12, or 24 inches apart, and at the same time marks the next row. It is accurate, simple, dur- able, reliable and easy running.
No. 4 is Single Wheel; No. 25 is Double Wheel, otherwise they are identical. $23.00.
No. 4 ‘“‘D” PLANET JR. As a Seeder only. ‘The same machine as No. 4; offered as a Seeder only. Weight, 40 lbs. $18.50.
No. 11 PLANET JR. Double and Single Wheel Hoe Combined. . : Packed weight, 39 lbs.
Equipment—One pair 6-inch Hoes, one pair 44-inch Hoes, 4 Steel Cultivator Teeth, 1 pair Plows, two 3-tooth Rakes, two 5-tooth Rakes, 2 Leaf Lifters.
No. 11 Planet Jr. is the best combined double and single wheel hoe made, and has the largest and most useful set of attachments. ‘The steel frame can be set at different heights to suit any kind or depth of work, and the attachments or their position can be changed in a few seconds. It can also be set up as a single wheel hoe for working between rows. Finishing a row at one passage with a Planet Jr. Double Wheel Hoe is the great charm of the tool. It is easier to work the crop closely when hoeing both sides at the same time. Keep the teeth sharp and work the crop once a week or after each rain, ‘The hoes are the most valuable of all the wheel-hoe attachments. One hoe is set ahead of the other to prevent trash from catching between them and tearing out small plants. The cultivator teeth are of improved design, and are admirable both for deep and shallow cultivation The steel leaf lifters save much time in late working, and enable it to be done close to the row without additional labor, when plants are large or leaves too low for ordinary work. $19.00.
No. 12 PLANET JR. Double and Single Wheel Hoe Combined. Packed weight, 33 lbs.
Equipment—One pair of 6-inch Hoes, 4 Steel Cultivator Teeth, 1 pair Plows, 2 Leaf Lifters.
The No. 12 is the most popular Double Wheel Hoe. It can be used by man, woman or boy. It is identical with No, 11 except that the 414-inch hoes and the rakes are omitted from the equipment, and it is sold at a correspondingly less price. The attachments with it are what. gardeners use most, and the short hoes and rakes can be added at any time. $14.85.
No. 13 PLANET JR. Double and Single Wheel Hoe Combined. Packed weight, 28 Ibs. - Equipment—l1 pair of 6-inch Hoes, Steel Frame, 14-inch Steel wheels. F No. 13 has same frame, wheels and handles as Nos. 11 and 12, but has for equipment one pair of 6-inch hoes only, the most useful of all the cultivating attachments. Some onion growers and others seem to think that these hoes mounted on Double or Single Wheel Hoe frame are about all they want, $10.80.

No. 16 PLANET JR. Single Wheel Hoe, Cultivator, Rake and = ; J > Plow.
Packed weight, 26 Ibs.
Equipment—One pair of 6-inch Hoes, 3 Cultivator Teeth, 1 Large Garden Plow, 1 7-inch Rake, 1 4-inch Rake, 1 Leaf Guard.
Single Wheel Hoes are lighter than the Double, and do almost the same variety of work, but are used mostly between the rows, yet by mounting the wheel on the other side of the arm, Planet Jr. Single Wheel Hoes can be used to hoe both sides at once while the plants are small—the most important time. We offer these single-wheel hoes as the highest type of their class. They have a great variety of attachments which adapt the implements to a large variety of work, and there is searcely any garden culture of which they are not capable. $12.50.
No. 17 PLANET JR. Single Wheel Hoe. Packed weight, 24 Ibs.
Si Equipment—1 pair of 6-inch Hoes, 3 Steel Cultivator Teeth, 1 Large Garden ow.
No. 17 is identical with No. 16, except in equipment, and all that has been said previously regarding Planet Jr. Wheel Hoes is equally true of No. 17. The three sets of attachments which go with it are all the finest of their kind. An outfit sufficient for most garden work. You can do more and better work with it in one day than you can do in several days with a hand hoe. $10.40.
No, 18 PLANET JR. Single Wheel Hoe. Packed weight, 19 Ibs. ~
Equipment—1 pair 6-inch Hoes.
This is the lowest priced and simplest Planet Jr. Single Wheel Hoe, but it is at the same time the cheapest for the work it does. As shown in the cut the tool hoes completely all the space between 12-inch and 14-inch rows, while when the hoes exchange sides the tool may be used as a double wheel hoe until plants are 6 inches high, by putting the wheel on the other side of the arm, and straddling the row. $7.50.

SPRAYING APPLIANCES __
\03.LN3LYd | :
A Spramotor has become a recognized necessity, and has so many uses that we will only name some of the principal ones affecting the farmer and fruit grower. The spraying of fruit trees and crops for the prevention of fungi and insect pests will result in an improvement of over 80 per cent. Spraying potatoes with Paris Green dissolved in water and killing the Potato Bug, costs less, can be done in a great deal less time and much more effectively than by dusting with Paris Green and Plaster, or any other way that has yet been tried. Whitewashes barns, outbuildings, fences, etc. When all these operations and many others can be performed, and any of which will repay the entire cost of the apparatus, certainly no person na such work to do can afford to be without a Spramotor.
he Spramotor has been proven in actual contest under the Canadian Government, to be the most useful combination for the purposes above stated.
An 80-page Treatise and Catalogue supplied with each order or sent free by mail on application.
We strongly recommend this most excellent machine as the best all-round sprayer of which we have any knowledge. We keep a full line in stock which we shall be pleased to show intending purchasers.

Extra for heavy galvanized 5-gallon can, as figure No. 6, etc., $2.85.
No. 15 THE SPRAMOTOR KNAPSACK
Can be used for all classes of spraying with one operator. Made with all brass Spramotor galvanized tank. The tank is of the best, with apron to prevent splashing, leather straps, right and left hand action without detaching anything (simply turning it over from one side to the other when one arm is tired). Automatic plunger, automatic mechanical agitator, strainer, detachable bronze ball valves, 3 ft. of hose, hand valve brass extension pipe with drip guard and nozzle, $22.00.
No. 8 MYER’S LITTLE GIANT BRASS BUCKET SPRAY PUMP
With agitator, hose, imperial combination nozzle, throwing a fine or coarse spray or solid stream, and malleable foot rest. Price $6.00, with extension rod, $6.75. Is a most practical and useful spray pump for small places. Can be used for washing windows, buggies, etc.
No. 9 AUTO-SPRAY
No other style of sprayer will do such a variety of work, and do it so well. We recommend it for trees, shrubs and vines, Greenhouses, Poultry Houses, Hospitals, and Stables, for disinfectants for sheep and cattle dip and cattle fly oils.
The “ Auto-Spray”’ works automatically for six to fifteen minutes, according to the nozzle opening. It may be charged in fifteen seconds by a few strokes of the plunger, and two pumpings will usually discharge the entire contents. Simply fill two-thirds of solution and pump up air pressure. ‘The tank is made of galvanized steel. Both ends of the tank are convex, and fastened to the tank cylinder by the inward lock seam. The pump is locked to the tank by a cam, and can be removed or replaced by a simple twist of the wrist, and the joint is made by a direct pressure upon a rubber gasket, which does not wear out, as is the case with screw connections. All parts of the pump which have contact with solutions are made of brass, and the pump cylinder is seamless.
The “AUTO-POP” No. 1 is a patented device for controlling the spray, and is the only self-cleaning attachment made.
The “Auto-Pop”’ No. 1 saves time, solution, and the labor of re-filling the tank. It practically doubles the capacity of the Auto-Spray and is recommended. “AUTO-SPRAY”’—No. 1B. Brass Tank with Stop=Cocke.. i. 2s cay Edge eee eens “AUTO-SPRAY’’—No. 1D. Galvanized Tank with Auto-Pop No.1...
AUTO-SPRAY No. 5-M
This pump is the ideal all-purpose hand sprayer. Its field is practically unlimited, as it may be used for spraying trees, vines, garden truck, potatoes and any field crops. It also can be used for disinfectants. It is made entirely of brass, doing away with all danger of corrosion. All of the parts are made on
serew machine and for that reason are interchangeable. 3 i The pump is double-acting. Which makes the spray continuous. Anyone who has used a single acting
pump will immediately recognize the advantage in a pump that works on both the up and down stroke. -
The nozzles regularly furnished with this pump are of special design so that this sprayer can be used on trees the height of an apple tree, as well as for bushes near at hand. We furnish an extra solid stream cap for washing windows and carriages.
Weknow of no small hand sprayer that will throw as fine a spray as the AUTO-SPRAY No. 5. j
This pump can be used with any receptacle the user may possess for spraying trees, where the outfit does not necessarily have to be portable. Where there is any field work to be done and the sprayer has to be moved constantly about, we advise purchasing with this pump a knapsack tank.
We furnish with this pump 2% feet of 14-inch suction hose with heavy strainer on an extension that will not work out of a bucket or tank when the pump is being used,
The extension is extra, and is very useful for spraying field crops. ‘The extension is so curved that the operator can direct the spray up or down while using the pump in a horizontal position.

THE NORWICH AUTOMATIC NORWICH AUTOMATIC DRY AIR-LOCK FOUNTAIN MASH HOPPER
, This fills completely the long-felt want among poultry- The most perfect device ever placed on the market men for a reliable, dependable, waste-proof Mash Feeder.
The hopper body is 9 inches in diameter by 27 inches in length, and has a capacity of 20 qts. Contrary to all principles, the bottom of the hopper is a depending angle cone ending in a 3-inch spout or collar—just the construc- tion to induce clogging!
The feed basin is an open, round-bottomed trough swung in position under the spout by two vibrator rods which pass through the spout and hopper body and are attached to an adjustable cross bar near the top. The feed basin thus suspended has therefore universal move- ment and he very act of the birds feeding at the basin causes the rods to vibrate and the vibration absolutely and completely precludes clogging.
Made in one size only, 20 qts. capacity.
_ Without rain guard (as in cut), shipping weight 6 lbs. -

“ROYAL PURPLE CALF MEAL
THE NEW MILK SUBSTITUTE
You Can Raise Just as Good Calves on Our Calf Meal as on New Milk and at Just One Quarter the Cost.
**ROYAL PURPLE CALF MEAL is constituted of grains scientifically prepared to make it a substitute for new milk. Only the very best matured grains are used. The flax, which figures largely in the manufacture of this meal is all grown in the West. A condiment is always used in this MEAL to prevent and cure diarrhoea.
25 Ib. Bag, $1.60 50 Ib. Bag, $3.10 100 Ib. Bag, $6.00 -
Those who try to raise their calves, without using milk, on grains that are not scientifically prepared, lose a large percentage of the young animals through diarrhoea and other troubles. Many have given it up in disgust and disposed of their calves without making any attempt to raise them. ‘Three years ago, was put on the market at a reasonable cost to farmers, ‘‘ ROYAL PURPLE’’ CALF MEAL which is scientifically prepared. The Department of Agriculture, through a special test at the Experimental Farm at Ottawa, has shown that it can be fed at a cost of just one-quarter of the market price of new milk. This hardly seems possible but the total cost to raise three calves from the time they were three weeks old until they were five months old was $28.75 including the cost of skimmed milk and some green food. ‘These calves were kept inside during all this time. The total cost to feed three calves at the same time on new milk and green foods was $117.38. These are facts that we are giving to prove to the entire satisfaction of every farmer, that there is nothing he can feed his calves that will be as cheap as Calf Meal. We know that some extra-hardy calves can be raised on “‘ home-made" foods, together with skim milk, but there is no comparison between the large, thrifty, vigorous calves raised on this meal and those raised on inferior foods.
