Year. Our Tomato Specialist, one of the most expert growers of Tomato seed in the United States, has always proven to be very conservative in his reports of trials and experiments, but when he turned in his final report on this new selection we thought he had lost his conservatism en- tirely. He enumerated so many valua- ble qualities that it seemed impossible to “MAKE GOOD” on all of them. How- ever, proof in our final personal! tests as to the value of each selection is what we must have before offering in our cat- alogue any variety. The 1911 final per sonal] trials were absolutely convincing so that we first offered it in 1912. SHIP PERS, CANNERS, MARKET GARDEN ERS, big crops of perfectly develope: fruit and splendid money-making re turns prove it beyond doubt a SURI YIELDER and BEST MAIN-CROP TO MATO IN THE WORLD. That is a strong claim to make, but it has been tested and retested in large field crops and home gardens from Jersey to Flor- ida and Texas to Tennessee, and each crop only shows more conclusively that it is EVERYTHING CLAIMED. Enor- mously prolific for the size of its fruit, which are perfectly formed, solid, bright red, uniform size, smooth skin, meat fine- grained and firm; the most perfectly flavored Tomato we have ever eaten. You cannot beat it for quality or quan- tity of yield. The plant is strong and vigorous; we have had ripe fruit in 108 days. It is a continuous bearer, and in the very spring of 1914 was the BEST DRY- WEATHER TOMATO. We recommend it specially to all Southern canners. HOME GARDENERS who have made a failure of tomato growing, usually mak- ing a lot of vine and no fruit, will be practically sure of a crop from this seed and our special cul- tural directions. You will not be disappointed with it for any purpose as a main-crop sure-crop tomato It sells at sight. Its QUALITY creates a greater demand and the large yield leaves a good net profit.

In selecting our list of flower seed, we have exer- ecised particular care in listing only seed that are suitable to growing in the South, and have selected varieties that have given best results and are most easily grown. You do not have to have a Land- scape Gardener to make your home beautiful. Flow- ers are easily grown and you can have continuous blooms throughout the entire season. In planting flower seed, make the surface of the soil as smooth as possible and cover all seed very lightly. This may sometimes be best done by sifting the soil lightly over the seed, rather than by raking them under. Press the soil down firmly over the seed after they are covered. On light sandy soils the seed should be covered twice as deep as in clay or heavy soils. SOWING IN BOXES. Almost all flower seed will do well when started in boxes. «This gives_you an early start as well as a better germination of seed. When planted in boxes the seed can be more: closely attended to and conditions kept right more easily than when grown in the open. Such seed as Salvia, Coleus, Petunias, Verbenas, Asters, ete., can be - planted in boxes and transplanted to the open when large enough. If the surface of the soil in which the flower seed are planted should show a tendency to crust, this should be broken by .lightlyw- pressing down. The soil should not*be kept soaking wet but slightly moist. -It is quite often beneficial to spread a crocus sack over the top of the soil, *keeping this moist and allowing it to remain=on until the seed begin to penetrate the soil. .Ajl annual flowers are -most successfully planted early in the Spring» Bi- ennials can be planted in early Fall for flowers the following season. We designate Annuals by (A), Climbing plants by (C), and Perennials by (P). The average height of growth is also given in the parentheses.

Ferdon. g Pn Win HOD wad In 1910 we selected this corn for the best prolific Yellow Corn. Of all yellow corn grown in the South it showed the best record, and every year since it has proven its value in every way. We are pleased that the correctness of our judgment has been proven by the crops our customers haye grown from this seed since then. Some have planted it early, others as late as June. The yields are uniformly satisfactory whenever planted. This corn is classed as a prolific type. Makes a good average sized ear, perfectly filled out from butt to tip, thus showing the result of careful breeding which was carried on by the propagator for a good many years. The small, red cob is covered with straight, even rows of beautiful yellow grain of rather a flinty quality, making it a splendid keeper, and especially valuable for feeding work stock, on account of its large percentage of protein or muscle building food. That yielding quality of this corn has been developed to a high point is proven by its many large yields at very low cost per bushel. The propa- gator average 93%, bushels, actual weight shucked, on five acres. One of our customers in Burke County, Georgia, bought a peck for two dollars, planted it in May and made 225 bushels. Many others have re- ported splendid yields. It is a strong, vigorous grower, and will make a yield on uplands or river bottoms in proportion to the quality of the soil and cultivation. We have tested it thoroughly and now recommend it to you because we know it is the best yellow prolific corn ever produced in the South, and you know our recommendation is a practical guarantee of satisfaction.

Several Florida customers have made 60 to 80 bushels an acre. We call it 99 per cent corn, because the pedigree ears selected as stock seed must weigh at least 15 ounces with a cob weighing not over 1% to 15% ounces. Farmers’ Pride runs 2 to 3 ears on each stalk, the ears being 7% to 8% inches in length, 14 to 20 rows deep, perfectly shaped grain. The roasting ears are deep grained and delicious. Makes the finest of meal and hominy, and ranks high in protein. Matures crop in 100 days and cures quickly. Is an excellent variety for dry seasons. Stalks of medium size, ears low down, and have heavy shuck. Stalk stands up fine in heavy winds and bad weather. Our pedigree seed will produce i126 bushels per acre. The years of careful seleeting and weeding out of unproductive stalks has practically eliminated all barren stalks, so that EVERY STALK IN THE FIFEIT.D MAKES CORN.

Its pedigree runs back nearly fifty years. When we first offered the va- riety to our customers, a number of years ago, after earefully testing it, the seed was first-class for that period, and the crops produced were much above the average. At the same time we were not thor- oughly satisfied with it, believing that it could still be improved in several points and the re- productive power of the seed strengthened by more scientific methods of improvement. Our work since then, combined with the enthusiastic and careful work of our grower, has produced wonderful re- sults. We have seen many varieties of Southern grown corn in all the Southern States, and are always searching for improvements. We have paid fancy prices for special selections of all varieties that seem to have any promise of being better —we buy and try, yet up to date we have never found a selection of this great, big- eared kind of corn that has anywhere near come up to our stock, planted on any kind of soil, anywhere in the South.

It makes the largest, most perfectly formed, prize-winning ears, with the largest per cent of grain of a corn of this class, and keeps well in the crib, until fed up. q It pays to plant the purest pedigree stock you can get. This is just that kind of seed, and if you want to grow the biggest ears this year and make a heavy yield per acre, we advise placing your order at once, for we have always had a larger demand than supply... Money is always returned when pedigree stock is sold, as there is no other seed we can afford to send out under our name. Our ears of Shaw’s Improved average 10 to 12 inches long, 18 to 20 rows perfectly formed white grains set firmly and deeply and covering from butt to tip, many ears making over 85% grain. Makes large, strong stalk with usually two good ears and an immense amount of forage; is deeply rooted and very storm resistant. No variety of corn anywhere is more carefully handled than this. It is a genuine thoroughbred and your yield will be all that you could desire if you get Alexander’s selection. ; Note the comparison between an average ear of our Shaw’s and the common corn, the kind that makes 10 to 16 bushels per acre. Length of ear of Shaw’s is 12 inches; cob weighs 514 ounces; grain, 201% ounces; total, 26 ounces, and measures nearly a quart—almost three times as much as common corn. This corn planted in 314-foot rows and same distance in drill, will give 3,536 hills per acre, and with one average car per hill will make 7914 bushels. it usually makes two good ears per stalk. It has a record yield of 133 bushels in regular crop. Five acres planted in this seed will make more and better corn than fifteen of the ordinary corn; the reason is: Most of the seed usually planted is not selected in the right way. You have too many barren stalks and nubbins. It will pay you to plant some of our Shaw Corn. és PRICE: Pkt. 10c; % pint 15c; pint 25c, post- IMPROVED SHAW CORN. COMMON CORN paid.

This strictly South- ern corn of ours, which has been carefully improved and selected for nearly twenty years, is grown EX- CLUSIVELY for us from originator’s pedi- gree seed stock, which we always keep up to the HIGHEST STANDARD OF PER- FECTION. The seed we offer you is the most carefully selected, most prolific strain of ALL prolific varieties. It is strong, healthy stock, full of vigor. No effort is spared each year to imvrove its vield by the most cavefnl ava nm to date methods’ of breeding and selecting. The hundreds of high yield records at low cost per bushel that our pedigree seed has produced, the many valuable corn show records it has captured, and the prizes won have proven that the breeding and improving of corn is of as much importance as in cattle and horses. You can buy an ordinary cow for from twenty to fifty dollars, but you cannot get a PURE- BRED, with a pedigree and a first-class hereditary record of milk and butter fat production, for any such price. Some folks say “a pedigree is no good, and that heredity doesn’t count for anything,’ but we have always noticed that those who believe the other way and buy the best bred seed and stock have the best farm and make the most money out of farming, with few exceptions. You will find this seed has been so well bred and selected that it contains the reproductive ; power necessary for growing a vigorous plant, to produce well-devel- oped ears of the best quality grain. In numbers of tests of average field run stock, used for feed, it has shelled out 60 to 62 pounds good sound grain from each 70 pounds of ear corn. Every year we have had to increase the acreage of this variety to keep up with the demand caused by the fine yields made from our seed. Though we have never had a crop failure, and only one slight shortage, our sales have inereased so every year that the supply has sometimes not been suf- ficient. We have had to return money on late orders some years. One year recently we returned nearly four hundred dollars sent for this variety. You can always depend on getting only ALEXANDER’S PEDIGREE SEED or your MONEY BACK. We recommend our Six-Ear Corn to you without reserve.

San | ALEXANDER SEED COMPANY, AUGUSTA, GA. 31 Long Staple Cotton For Profit The yearly demand for high grades of long staple Cotton is rapidly increasing. From present prospects, it seems that every planter should have a good sized plot planted in staple Cot- ton. Aside from its other uses, the automobile tire industry uses this Cotton almodst exclusively in the manufacture of tires, and the output of tire manufacturers is doubling and trebling yearly, there is a corresponding increase in the demand for this staple Cotton for the manufac- ture of fine dress goods. The demand is good and prices far exceed those of the best grades of short staple Cotton. We have selected the ‘Webber 49” Cot- ton as being the best and safest staple variety to produce high quality lint and to produce favorably under boll weevil condi- tions. We have had reports on this Cot- ton from all over the South, and when comparing this with other staple varieties, we have found it to have the most desir- able points and to be the most in demand. One word of caution: We do not advise any one to plant too heavily in staple Cot- ton in the beginning until he has done some experimenting; first, to find if staple y Cotton can be produced advantageously on Pee ‘ a : a his soil, and, second, to study marketing 3 3 : conditions for his Cotton. A few acres to begin with will make a handsome profit, and when you have become familiar with this Cotton, we believe you will make some easy money. ‘Webber 49” under favorable conditions will produce a bale to the acre and quite often better. If long staple Cotton can be produced at the same cost as short staple varieties and bring two and three times the price, it eertainly offers some very attractive inducements. Planters must be extremely careful in purchasing their seed stocks. Inferior seed will pro- duce inferior lint and low grades of staple Cotton quite often have to be sacrificed at large discounts. We have planted our seed crop with the best pedigreed seed we could obtain and have to offer to our trade seed that will please them and make them the most profit Plant of “Webber 49” Cotton. One of the most valuable charac- teristics of the ‘‘Webber 49’ Cotton is its comparatively early maturity. Its earliness combined with the ex- cellent quality of the fiber at once indicated its desirability as a va- riety for boll weevil conditions. The bolls of this variety are large, 65 bolls making a pound of Cotton. the lint has average 1% to 1 5/16 inch staple of the best quality. One planter in Mississippi writes: “Webber 49” is as early as any other variety that I know of, and I consider it a much better Cotton than the ame 8 varigy which is s a boll weevil variety. : ’ he boll SREP makes its appearance here about July 20th and the crop at that time is so far advanced that-if they do any material damage we cannot tell it. In my opinion, this is the best staple variety rown for this section of the country. = Price of Seed: Lb. 35c; 3 lbs., postpaid, $1.00. $1.00; bushel $3.50. prices on larger lots.

The Sure Crop — Big Boll, Extra Early, Very Prolific, Storm- Proof, Five-Lock- Boll Weevil “Ezy- Muny” Cotton. YOUR IDEAL Cotton is this new selection of ours. If you had the time to go into all of the best cotton helds of the South and pick with your own hands the best you could find, this is with- out a doubt the very one that you would select. It was originated or propagated by an up-to-date farmer up in the Northern cotton belt where the seasons are short. The selection and breeding have been done from a very healthy and thrifty growing big boll variety, and has been 30 well developed that it will produce a more su- perior crop in every respect than any of the big boll type. This variety has been grown from the begin- ning on land free from disease. It was no easy task to develop this variety, but careful and patient work always brings the desired results when proper methods are used, and the reward obtained in the perfection of this new strain proves that it was worth all of the time and money spent in bringing it up to its present condition. In it you will find MORE OF THE MOST DESIRABLE qualities for an absolutely perfect variety of this class than you have ever seen. We have tested it in every possible way with other big boll varities, both of the early and late types, and there is not one that has proven equal to it in a three years’ test on dark, red-clay land of good quality, on stiff, gray pebble land with clay subsoil, on rich river bottom and sandy land The results in all trials have been highly satisfac- tory. A friend of ours told us about this selection in 1908. We at once investigated it and found it to be just what we wanted. It cost us $8.55 a bushel. Big boll cottons are nearly always the most pop- ular with pickers, and the only objection to planting them in some sections has been the length of time they require to make a crop. The main object _in breeding this selection was to combine in it, besides earliness, the large well-shaped boll with 60 to 70 per cent of them five-lock, a medium-sized seed. with one-inch lint, of good strength and quality and turn- ing out 38% per cent to 40 per cent, 49 to 58 bolls making a pound. The open growth is also a great afvantege in the BOLL WEEVIL section, and we SRY MUNY” The Greatest Prize-Winning Extra-Early Big- es Boll Cotton—“The Boll-Weevil Dodger” 3 BALE PER ACRE STALK OF “EZY-MUNY” COTTON... prefer open growth under all conditions. It make: a well-shaped stalk with numerous limbs, on which the bolls are well distributed. It has made a fine crop each of the four years we have grown it, show- ing very little tendency to shed during the long, hot, dry seasons it has gone through. However, this is largely due to the fact that all the land on which it has been grown has been deeply prepared and cultivated shallow. It has proven most valuable alsc on account of the ease with which it is picked Hands can pick more and are sometimes willing to pick for less money than to pick small boll varieties In selecting our pedigree planting stock the selection is made from individual stalks, which are tested for their rate of yield per acre, and unless they make a yield of at least 1,375 pounds lint per acre, or abou 3% bales, the seed is not used. Every plant that comes up to that standard is used to grow seed for the next year’s general crops, which have not fallen below an average of 590 pounds lint per acre. By this improved method of selecting only a part of the seed. from high-yielding stalks, on four of our seed farms where this seed is grown on a total of 396 acres the low-yielding stalks are almost elimi- nated from the general or main crop. One of our renters followed his oats with this cotton, using only 200 pounds. high-grade fertilizer per acre; average 435 pounds lint per acre on 15 acres). WE KNOW that you will like this selection better than any big boll cotton you have ever planted, or is now offered by any one. PRICE: Pound, postpaid, 40 cts.; 3 Ibs. $1.00.

Each year we have hundreds of requests for our catalog similar to this one from Mr. Sutton: fay Lawrence County, Miss.—Sirs: I have heard so much about the reliability of the Alexander Seed Company that I want a catalog, that we may know more about it.—D. S. Sutton. It is therefore best to give a description of this splendid cotton for the benefit of those receiving our catalog for the first time. We think that we have a right to justly feel very proud of the splendid and honorable record made by Money Maker since we first offered it from the crop of 1905. Twelve years before that the originator had started in to breed his cotton up to an ideal standard. He worked for a large, well-limbed stalk, shorter joints, three times as many bolls and large ones, together with tonger and finer lint. He worked to produce a deep-rooted cotton to resist drought and storms and rust. The result—our “Money Maker Cotton” shown above, reproduced from a photograph of a stalk from our crop. It tells the story of what “Money Maker” does far better than words can. We have tested it in every-.condition of soil and climate in the cotton region. Money Maker has always been the best variety for sandy land. It is undoubtedly the best poor- land variety; it was originated on an ordinary gray-land farm, and will stand more dry weather and come through a long rainy season in better shape than any variety we-have ever tried. It is about the only selection that will adapt itself at once to all conditions of soil and climate. It’s an all-round sure-crop cotton everywhere, when you get the genuine seed direct from Alexander Seed Company. No other variety has been more carefully bred and selected than “Money Maker.” “Plant it, and because our seed are strong and vigorous they come up quickly and grow right off. It quickly makes a strong, tough growth that will hold up a big crop of bolls without breaking down; blooms early and-sets its fruit without delay. For this reason thousands of acres are planted with it every year in Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, because it puts on a good crop always before the boll weevil can do any damage. It makes a good crop from bottom to top. Its rootS:go way down in the ground, and, no matter how dry the season, they get the moisture to develop with the smallest amount of shedding. Money Maker is the one you can depend on every year from the smallest to the largest crop., We have the evidence to prove every claim we have ever made. A small portion of this evidence has been published in previous catalogs. If you are going to plant cotton this year, plant good seed, the. very best, the most productive, that you may get the largest possible yield per acre at the least possible cost. You will be safe with Money Maker. Remember the genuine improved seed is sold only under the brand and seal of ALEXANDER SEED COMPANY. We have no agents.

CUT IT FOR CASH! It is necessary with the present shortage of labor to grow crops that can be fed in the field. Stock can eat forage crops in the field and then walk to market. GEORGIA BROWN TOP MILLET is the newest and one of the best forage crops. A South Georgia farmer found it on his place a few years ago, saved the seed, and grew a large crop, which he again saved for seed and sold for $1.00 a pound. He claims a yield of 1,500 pounds seed from an acre. It makes at least two crops of sweet, tender hay of the best quality. Can be planted from April to August. It stools wonderfully, a single seed often making 100 stems with as many seed heads. It is also splendid for grazing. We advise every one to give iu u good trial this year. There is absolutely no chance of it becoming a pest. PRICE: Packet 10c; pound $1.00, postpaid.

SOY or SOJA BEAN leat ers food crop for man and also as a _ soil builder or plant food crop. It is one of the very best of all crops to plant on all Southern soils. It will certainly pay any one who plants to study this valuable crop. It is easy to grow, and will produce a good profit in the home garden or as a field crop. The whole bean may be used for human food like other beans, boiled, baked alone or in combination with pork, potatoes or rice. It seems to be immune from the fungus diseases that do so much damage to garden beans and peas, and stands more cold than corn, garden beans or cow peas. Its combination of values or uses is wonder- ful, as it is good for soil improvement or plant food, human and stock food; very valuable for oil, hay and silage. Do not neglect to plant Soy Beans this year. Make a start, at least. Plant a packet or pint, and you will quickly see for yourself what a valua- ble crop it is. Send to U. S.

OSCEOLA VELVET BEAN #22 oo troduced by the Florida Experiment Station. The cross was made in 1908 by Mr. J. Belling, and was : ] The station has distributed the seed and advise that the type is fixed. The Florida station says of it: “It is earlier than the China, does not shatter out much. Matures later than the Georgia Velvet, but larger, with pods that do not rot so easily. Much earlier than the Lyon bean; does not shatter the seed so badly. Not so early as Yokohoma, but with better seed and thinner hulls.”’ The Osceola we have found an excellent variety to plant with your corn on the best land. It makes a heavy growth of vines and a great-big crop of beans, which are borne in immense clusters. The pods are almost free from fuzz. Their great value is that the leaves shed off by the time you are ready to gather your corn, thus making it easy to gather all the corn and pick the beans much faster and better.

BUSH VELVET BEANS. See inside back cover, 100 Day or Early Speckle Velvet Beans. Alexander’s Bunch Velvet Bean. There is no legume or forage plant ever introduced in the South that has been of more value to Southern farmers than the Velvet Bean. The Velvet Bean is now planted from North Carolina throughout the Southern States into Texas, and wherever planted has given universal satisfaction, and has been the means of enriching some of the poorest farm lands in existence, and at the same time has furnished an abundance of nutritious feed both for cattle and hogs—feed that required no harvesting, the cattle and hogs doing this when turned into the fields. It has been customary in most instances to plant Velvet Beans between corn rows and sometimes be- tween the corn hills, the corn rows when planted with Velvet Beans being from four feet to five and six feet apart. Velvet Beans have also been planted broadeast on land with a slight mixture of corn, just a sufficient amount to afford some support for the vines. Where Velvet Beans have been planted in corn, farmers have experienced more or less diffi- culty in harvesting the corn, and in nearly every ease have been unable to save the fodder on account of the dense growth of the Velvet Bean vines. We take pleasure in offering to our Seed Custom- ers throughout the entire South a new Velvet Bean which grows in the bunch form very similar to the Sey Bean, but making a much larger bush with considerably more leafage and stems to every in- Alexander’s Bush Velvet Beans THE LATEST INTRODUCTION OF THIS VALUABLE LEGUME FAMILY Grows in Compact Bush Form—Makes Four Times the Amount of Forage as the Cow Pea—Grows On the Poorest Lands THE SUREST-CROPPING, LAND-ENRICHING FORAGE PLANT KNOWN.

This bunch Velvet Bean will revolutionize the entire industry of growing Velvet Beans, and will give the farmer practically the same amount of forage with the same soil benefits that the other varieties have given and will be minus the objection of the vines twining around the corn stalk and pre- venting the pulling of fodder and gathering the ears of corn. These beans have been tried out by a number of farmers in our immediate section who were fortu- nate enough to obtain a small number of seed, and wherever these have been grown, they have given absolute satisfaction and are the only kind of Vel- vet Bean that these farmers now wish to plant. The production of beans is not quite as heavy as the running variety, but these yield a fair pro- portion of beans of the same food value as the other kinds, the forage yield being over four times greater than that of cow peas and about the same as running Velvet Beans. We have only a very limited stock of this variety of Velvet Bean this season and are only offering in limited quantities so as to introduce this variety throughout as many sections as possible.
