But to be perfect and a pleasure to walk on this should have a firm yet elastic and carpet-like surface, and the first consideration in laying out or renovating old Srounds should be to secure this condition. Turfing with fine old pasture sod, at one time a popular method of making a lawn, is now largely superseded by seed- ing. because of the expense and difficulty in obtaining good, clean turf. Seeding is not only inexpensive’ but is in reality the only means of securing a fine and permanent lawn, de- pending only for its complete success on the thoroughness with which the ground is prepared, the quality and quantity -of the Seed sown, and the subsequent care of the lawn. Our extensive experience in the seeding of lawns and ex- haustive experiments with all kinds of lawn grasses have demonstrated beyond a doubt that while many kinds are val- useless, being too coarse or bunchy or otherwise unsuitable, one kind of grass alone can not be relied upon, in our climate, to produce and maintain a fine lawn. It is only by using a proper combination of several suitable warieties, sown lib- erally, that satisfactory results can be obtained. CURRIE’S LAWN GRASS MIXTURES are the result of years of study and careful observation, and, if our directions are followed in seeding, they never fail to produce quickly a thrifty growth of fine velvety, rich green grass, continuous in verdure from early spring to winter, and creating a springy, dense, carpet-like turf and permanently beautiful lawn. THE QUANTITY OF SEED REQUIRED—There is no fixed rule, but a liberal sowing is always satisfactory, while a light seeding is a waste of time and usually disappointing A beautiful lawn may be produced in a few weeks, or it may not approach perfection for two or more seasons, according to the quantity of Seed sown. When in a hurry for a fine, close turf, we have frequently sown at the rate of Seven, or even eight, bushels of 20 lbs. each to the acre, with the most grati- fying results, but in general the following quantities will pro- duce satisfactory results: 1 pound to 300 square feet; 5 pounds to 1,500 square feet; 20 pounds to 6,000 square feet; 100 pounds (5 bus.) per acre. In thickening up established lawns slightly smaller quan- tities, depending on conditions, may perhaps be sufficient, but it is always well to put on enough. CURRIE’S SPECIAL LAWN GRASS MIXTURE THOROUGHLY TESTED AND ANALYZED FOR GERMINATION AND PURITY Composed of Evergreen Grasses, best suited to our American Climate, only the finest and cleanest grades of Seed being used. This splendid mixture is composed of only the finest dwarf-growing evergreen grasses; absolutely free from weed seeds or other impurities; especially adapted and mixed in the proper proportions to suit the American Climate. In comparing the cost of our Special Lawn Grass with other mix- tures sent out by the trade, remember that the actual weight per measured bushel of our mixture is 20 pounds or more, while that of most mixtures is only 14 pounds per bushel. To obtain this exceptionally heavy weight per bushel, we must and do use only the heaviest and best samples of the various grasses which compose our mixture. This is in itself a guarantee against sowing weed seeds, as the heavier the mixture the more thoroughly recleaned have been the component grasses. % Ib. 35e (by mail 40c); 1 Ib. 60c (by mail 67c); 214 Ibs. $1.45; 5 Lbs. $2.75; 10 Ibs. $5.25; 20 lbs. $10.00; 50 Ibs. $24.00; 100 Ibs. $46.00. ; WHITE CLOVER—Exira choice, thoroughly recleaned seed suitable for fine lawns.

In our Grass Mixture for Shade we have an ex- cellent combination of those grasses which grow naturally in shady places and under any ordinary circumstances will furnish a close, green, velvety turf during the entire season. However, it is often the case that under trees the grou becomes so impoverished by the action of the multitude of fine tree roots as to render the growing of a nice, close sod grass almost impossible; in such cases we would recommend a liberal top dressing of Currie’s Complete Fertilizer at the rate of 600 pounds per acre. - : Bisa pone Feb 0 oe (by mail 40c); 1 lb. 60c (by mail 67c); 2% Ibs. $1.45; 5 lbs. $2.75; 10 Ibs. $5.25; 20 lbs. $10.00; 50 Ibs. $24.00 S: .00.

BEANS Culture—Begin sowing Dwarf or Bush va- rieties the first week in May, if the ground is in fit condition. For successive crops sowings may be made every two or three weeks until the 15th of July. Mature in 45 to 65 days. Sow thinly in drills 2 or 8 inches deep and from 18 inches to 2 feet apart. If the soil is rather poor, the former depth will suffice. If rich, the latter. Never cultivate beans while the foliage is wet or covered with dew, be- cause the beanspot or anthracnose will spread very rapidly if carried on the clothing or hoe, with detrimental effect to the crop. Beans should be picked daily in order to have them tender and stringless. One pound to 100 teet of drill, 2 bushels (120 Ibs.) to the acre in drills. DWARF OR BUSH WAX PODDED OR BUTTER VARIETIES.

The shoulder is un- usually thick and the root tapers slightly downtowards the blunt point so that it is pulled very easily. The color is a rich orange and the texture and quality are unsurpassed. For table use many regard this variety—because of its form, color, texture and delicate flavor—the finest of all sorts, and it is undoubtedly the best bunching Carrot for early market use.

LIST OF TESTED GARDEN SEEDS FOR 1924. 11 CABBAGE All our Cabbage Seeds are saved from care- fully selected stocks, and it is impossible to get better at any price. - Culture—Early Cabbage Seed should be sown in hot-beds during February and March. When large enough the plants should be transplanted into cold frames, and as early as the ground is in fit condition they should be planted in the garden, in rows about two feet apart and about 18 inehes in the row. The late varieties should be sown about the first of May, and -set out in the garden in June and July. As these grow larger than the early va- rieties, they should be planted in rows about three feet apart and about two feet in the row. During the growing season, even in shot-beds various leaf-eating in- sects are likely to attack the plants, de- stroying many if uninterfered with. They may be controlled by applications of a weak mixture of arsenate of lead until the heads have developed to about two-thirds of th@ir normal size, after which a less poisonous insecticide should be applied, such as Hellebore, Bug-Death or Slug Shot Prompt and continuous application will insure a good crop. 1 oz. to 4,000 plants, 4 oz. of Seed in beds to transplant upon an acre.

For late plant- ing the Seed should be sown in May in a cold frame or open ground in soil that is well pulverized. Any good garden soil made rich by manuring, will suit. When the heads begin to form the leaves should be tied together to prevent the flower’s becoming sun- burnt and tough. In order to have them tender and of good flavor they must be gathered before they become too large. 1 oz. for about 5,000 plants.

Danish Market Cauliflower. 14 CURRIE BROTHERS COMPANY, MILWAUKEE, WIS. CELERY 1 oz. will furnish 5,000 to 10,000 plants. Culture—Sow the early varieties in a cold-frame, the late sorts in the open ground, early in April, and in June and July transplant respectively. On the surface of the ground, thoroughly enriched and cultivated before- hand lay out lines 8 feet apart, no trenches, as was formerly the custom. Set the plants in these rows, about 5 inches apart. Until about the middle of August the only work to be done is frequent cultivation and watering in dry weather. Earthing up may then begin and continue as long as the plants grow, to bleach the stems and render them crisp. Several methods of bleaching early varieties are to be recommended—banking the soil, 4-inch clay tile, heavy wrapping paper, or boards. The early varieties are best bleached with boards, owing to the disease commonly called rust, which attacks plants about this period, and is avoided by the exclusion of light and air, the celery being ready for use in 15 to 18 days. For late varieties earthing up becomes necessary after Sept. 20th, as frost may ap- pear any night and destroy the crops, where boards, tile or paper are used. The banking of earth is the best protection against frost. As winter ap- proaches the banks may be covered with boards and a good covering of leaves.’ Varieties given in order of maturity.

In the back yard garden where light and air cannot penetrate to the roots readily plant one or two kernels every 6 inches apart and when up thin out to 12 inches, preferably leaving only one plant in each hill. Failures are chiefly attributable to close planting. Sow one to two inches deep and cultivate fairly deep when above ground, gradually reducing depth as the season advances; by so doing the larger roots are not cut or disturbed. At the last euvah1On it is better to hill rather than to cultivate too close to the plants. One pound to every 250 hills where space is not so limited as a back yard garden, or if sown in rows one Sound will suffice for a 200 foot drill or 300 hills. 12 to 15 lbs. per acre.

Culture—Do not sow Cucumber Seed im cold soil. Shoula you want an early crop, start them in flower pots in the hot- bed or indoors, placing five seeds in each and thin out to three plants when well up. When fairly well rooted, transplant into the open, being careful not to disturb the roots as they are very tender. Before moving them they must be hardened off well and the ground must be fairly warm, and if you have a small window-light handy place it over the plants, mounting same on © stones or stakes; this helps to warm the soil. An excellent method of getting a good crop is to place a shovelful of well rotted — manure in each hill. Several varieties should be grown, the short-fr uited, more prolific sorts for pickling, and the long varie- ties for table use. Plant the hills 4 feet apart. Always pick the fruit when large enough or the.vitality of the plant will become impaired. : EARLY FORTUNE—A recent introduction and is considered IMPROVED LONG GREEN—Fine for slicing and for pickles; the finest market cucumber of the White Spine type.

SAND OR HAIRY VETCH. Vicia Villosa. Winter Vetch. One of the most valuable fodder plants for the West and Northwestern States, owing to its ability to withstand severe drought, heat and cold. The vines are slender and thickly elad with leaves and side stems, which furnish nice, suc- eculent feed. Individual plants will make a 10 foot growth before going to seed. Sow at the rate of 80 to 120 pounds per acre for hay. As a Pasture Plant for Late Fall and Early Spring Sand Vetch is without an equal. From sowings made in August an excellent late Fall pasturage for sheep or hogs can be | had in 50 days, the plants being by that time two feet in height. After close eating it can be left to prevent soil washing dur- ing Winter and Spring. It is one of the first plants to start into growth in spring and will be again ready to pasture by May, or it can be allowed to mature for green cutting or for Hay crop. Hogs, sheep and cattle eat it with great relish. The U. S. Department of Agriculture estimates the value of a plowed-under crop as equivalent to $16 to $45 worth of commercial fertilizers per acre. Sow in either fall or spring, at the rate of 60 lbs. per acre, broadcast, with the addition of one-half bushel Rye or Oats to furnish support for the vines. On rich soil it yields enormous crops of green fodder, from 10 to 15 tons to the acre; equal to 3 to 4 tons when cured as dried Hay. It is also a remarkable grower on sandy and thin land. 60 lbs. to the bushel. SAMPLES AND LATEST PRICES SENT ON REQUEST. CLOVERS In the northern United States and Canada the mark of the good farmer is his ability to grow Clover successfully and profitably. It is an indispensable part of a self-sustaining crop rotation, is probably the most important of all our hay plants, except Alfalfa in the west, forms an indispensable ingredient of balanced rations and can be turned under with immense benefit to the land as it is one of the chief nitrogen gathering crops. Clover pasture is well adapted to hog-raising and cattle thrive on it, if sufficiently restricted to avoid bloating. It should be sown in conjunction with some other grass such as Timothy or Awnless Brome Grass. Clover is unexcelled as a soiling crop and is much used for sileage. The seed crop yields a profitable return, the seed reproducing about 30 fold on the average, and can usually be taken from the second growth after the first has been cut for hay. We offer strictly high-grade recleaned Clover Seed of all varieties. Do not be induced to buy cheap seed, as cheap seed is dear at any price, being certain to contain noxious weed seeds, likely to be detrimental to crops, farm and community. MEDIUM RED OR JUNE CLOVER (Trifolium pratense)—The grade we offer is choice recleaned home-grown seed, free from weeds and other impurities (60 lbs. per bushel). Per Sean 35¢e (by mail 42c); 10 lbs. $2.75; 60 Ibs. $15.60; 100 lbs. Ri uOnie CLOVER (Trifolium pratense perenne)—A larger -and coarser grower than the preceding, but with less ten- dency to die out after the second year. Should be used for pasture and fertilizing purposes. Per lb. 35¢ (by oN 42c); 10 lbs. $2.80; 60 lbs. $15.90; 100 lbs. $26.50. Sandwict:en. ALSIKE CLOVER (Trifolium hybridum)—Swedish Clover. It adapts itself to all kinds of soils, and is capable of re- sisHing extremes of wet and drought alike. It makes a very fine, soft, dustless hay that really is better than Red Clover hay.

HUBAM CLOVER—Annual White Sweet Clover—A very vigor- ous, rapid growing annual sweet clover discovered in 1916 at the Iowa Experiment Station. It makes a tremendously tall, bushy growth and as a green manuring or soil im- provement variety it stands alone, as it makes the greatest growth in the shortest time of any clover now known. A most nutritious pasture plant and a bees’ paradise from June until frost. Sow 10 to 15 lbs. per acre. 1 Ib. 85c (by mail 95c); 5 lbs. $4.00; 10 lbs. $7.00. BOKHARA OR SWEET CLOVER (Melilotus alba)—White blossom, biennial. A clover valuable for the excellent honey which it yields, and highly important as a soil builder and inoculator for Alfalfa, as a green forage and hay crop and as a pasture plant; generally adaptable to un- favorable soils and conditions. Stock do not take to it readily at first, but soon learn to like it and thereafter eat it greedily. As a soil renovator it has no equal. Re- ports show 4 and 5 tons of hay at one cutting. Sow 10 to 16 lbs. per acre. Hulled Seed—Per lb. 25c (by mail 32c); 10 lbs. $1.65; 60 lbs. (1 bushel) $9.00; 100 lbs. $15.00. 'Timothy—See page 388. Clovers inoculated with “Nitragin’’ will give best results. See page 38 RAPE—DWARF ESSEX The earliest cultivated and most profitable plant for sheep, hog or cattle feed known. It can be sown in early spring along with Oats or Rye, and eaten off by sheep within a week or so after harvest. It can also be sown on Oats, Rye or Wheat stubble, or on any vacant land up to the first days of August, and will yield an immense crop of green fodder in six to eight weeks from the time of sowing. As a fattener for sheep and hogs it is superior to clover. Should be sown in drills at the rate of 3 lbs. per acre, or broadcast, using 4 to 6 Ibs. per acre, all through the summer months, so as to furnish a successive crop of sheep feed. One acre of Rape will pasture 36 sheep for two months. Per lb. 20c (by mail 27c); 10 lbs. for $1.25; 100 lbs. $10.00. SUGAR CANE. Sorghum.

BROOM CORN. Broom corn is one of the best paying crops and is adapted to any soil that will grow corn. It will make a crop with very little rain. One acre will yield 1 to 1% tons of cured brush and up to 40 bushels of seed, which is nearly equal to oats in feeding value. Plant in drills 3% feet apart, and in rows about 8 inches apart; and cultivate the same as corn. About 5 to 8 pounds of seed will sow an acre. If planted the first of June, the crop will be ready to cut September 15th. Per lb. 20c (by mail 27c); 5 lbs. 65c; 10 Ibs. $1.10; 50 lbs. $4.00. All Seeds offered on this page are F. O. B. Milwaukee.

We will spare no expense or effort to maintain this reputation. Whether grown by ourselves or produced for us by the great specialists their quality positively eannot be excelled, and given proper ‘conditions they must not only grow and produce vigorous plants, but in size, quantity and texture the flowers themselves cannot fail to reach a particularly gratifying standard of excellence. In this respect we recommend particularly our specialties—Asters, Carnations, Calceolaria, Cineraria, Cyclamen, Mignonette, Nasturtiums, Poppies, Pansies, Primulas, Stocks, Sweet Peas, Verbenas, etc. Certainly none of better quality can be secured anywhere. USEFUL HINTS FOR THE SUCCESSFUL CULTIVATION OF FLOWER SEEDS. Many failures occur in the sowing of the very small seeded varieties of Flower Seeds as the result of covering too deeply, washing out by too heavy waterings or omitting to water in time, in which case they dry off, or shrivel up. Sow the Seeds in shallow seed pans, 2 or 3 inches in depth, first filling to within half-inch of the rim with finely sifted soil, which press down firm and level; then scattering the Seeds evenly over the surface and covering with soil to three or four times the depth of the seed; the very fine seed should only be pressed down with a board. After sowing cover with a sheet of glass or a wetted sheet of paper until seedlings come through the ground after which remove the glass at least enough to admit fresh air or your seedlings will damp or rot off. As soon as they can be handled, transplant into similar boxes 1 to 2 inches apart, and when large enough put in the position where they are wanted to flower. Sweet Alyssum, Asters, Nasturtiums, Mignonette, Mari- golds, and all Hardy Annuals, may be sown where they are intended to flower, not too-soon, as Seeds sown in a nice, warm seed bed, will, with good weather, surpass those sown weeks before,as the latter usually become stunted through weather set-backs. Thin out where they come up too thickly. Hardy Perennials may be sown from January to October. Early sowings should be made in-doors in shallow pans or boxes, as described above, or they can be sown out-doors from May to August, and trans- planted to their permanent flowering positions in early autumn, protecting during winter with a covering of leaves or manure, Many of the tender Perennials, such as Antirrhinum, Dahlias, Heliotrope, Salvia, ete., can be sown out-doors for late flowering as soon as good weather sets in. Soak hard seeds in warm water for several hours before sowing. THE FOLLOWING ABBREVIATIONS OCCUR IN OUR FLOWER SEED LIST, VIZ: H. A. for Hardy Annuals, that bloom and die the first year from Seed. H. B. for Hardy Biennials, that bloom the second year from Seed, and then die; many, if sown early in the spring, will flower the first year. H.

SWEET PEAS BEAUTIFUL, FRAGRANT, FASHIONABLE. “The truly wonderful development of the Spencer class of Sweet Peas since the creation or discovery of “Countess Spencer” a few years ago, is one of the marvels of the whole history of floriculture. There a dozen or so of the best of the old-type sorts, the so-called Grandifloras, verse conditions than many of the Spencers, but in size and shape -of flowers, coloring and substance. length and strength of stem and other attributes the Spencer far outdistances the older type. Our Spencer list includes a discriminating selection from the best sorts, embracing all the leading colors and shades. Sowings of Sweet Peas should be made in well prepared ground as early as it can be worked. They should not, however, be grown two successive sea- sons on the same ground. It will be found an ex- cellent plan to make a trench about 6 inches deep, in which to plant the Seeds, covering at first to a depth of 2 inches and gradually drawing in the soil as they advance in growth; this will greatly aid the plants to withstand our hot summers. Never allow them to run to Seed, as once in the Seed pod stage the greater the quantity of blooms they will produce. TRY FALL SOWING OF SUMMER FLOWERING SWEET PEAS. Earlier flowers and a more vigorous growth re- sult. The soil should be sandy and well drained, and sowings should be made late in November. Sow over the Seeds, mounding it up over the rows so as to shed surplus water. After the ground freezes cover with straw, leaves or manure for the winter, drawing back the covering on warm days in early spring but keeping it alongside for use in case of a return of freezing weather. <2 Hawlimark Lavender. 50c This collection contains ten of the finest named Spencer or Orchid Flowering varieties in a desirable assortment of the most popular colors. 25c This collection is sent postpaid.

After the ground has been plowed with the Wheel Hoe Plow or spaded, this Pulverizer will be found of great value in smoothing and fining the soil surface, putting it in the best possible condition for planting seeds. It is much more thorough and rapid in its work than an ordinary garden rake, thoroughly pul- verizing lumpy soil. The rear blade cutting 7% inches levels the ground perfectly. After the crops are started, it may be used between the rows as a weeder or as a erust breaker, leaving a fine mulch. It is a great tool for the small garden, while the vegetable grower will find many uses for it, especially in overhead irrigation under the laterals. Works equally well forwards or backwards. Weight 6 lbs. Price $4.50. No. 119 Planet Jr. Garden Plow and Cultivator. Price, $5.80. The wheel is 24 inches in diameter with a rim 1% inches wide, insuring easy running in the lightest soil. The plow may be used for plowing the ground in the Spring, going twice in each furrow. Later it will open furrows for fertilizer or for planting, covers them, and plows to or from the crop during the season. The wide cultivator tooth may also be used for opening furrows, or for cultivating and hilling between the rows of plants. The three-prong cultivator teeth will break up the soil deep or shal- low, and give excellent and thor- ough cultivation. The center tooth of the three prong maybe used alone (or separately) for extra deep work. The seuffle blade is just the thing for weed cutting and shallow cultivation. It leaves a fine mulch to prevent rapid loss of moisture by evaporation. Thorough Preparation for Seeding. ~ Packed weight, 14 lbs. Price, $4.75. Fire-Fly Garden Plow.

INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES PRICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. Spraying is an insurance against failure and depleted crops. In some seasons it may seem unnecessary, but the effects will inevitably become apparent the next season. It must be done thoroughly to be effective, but should not be done without pre- cise knowledge as to the nature of the attacking insects and how they destroy. These may be divided into two classes, leaf eating and sucking. Both require separate treatment. The leaf eating caterpillars, potato-bugs, etc., require a stomach poison, which is sprayed on to the plant and intended to be eaten. The sucking insects, plant lice, aphides, etc., require a contact poi- son such as the Tobacco Extracts, Kerosene Emulsion, etc., Ss strong irritants which cover the entire body and close the Nitierts A Prormiative cf the Rote Gor and breathing pores. i The fungicides listed are to be used for plant diseases.
