Lawn Grass Mixtures
A PERMANENT EVERGREEN LAWN AND HOW TO MAKE IT
Our many years of practical experience in making lawns is placed at the service of our customers in the mixtures of grass seeds we offer. The first great care in the formation of a lawn is to see that the ground is thoroughly prepared, by being well pulverized, after the soil has been well enriched and worked over. The seed should then be sown, using a ch liberal quantity so as to insure a thick, even growth. A good lawn may be secured in a few weeks by giving it proper care and the necessary quantity of seed. : We recommend the following quantities when seed of first-class quality is used: 8,000 square feet; 100 lbs. per acre. ; For renovating an old worn-out lawn use about half the quantity of seed, working it possible without disturbing the present growth of grass.
1 lb. to 400 square feet; 20 lbs. to

Special Evergreen Lawn Grass Mixture
Forms a Rich Green Velvety Lawn in Less Than a Month from Time of Sowing. Composed of Only Compact Growing Grasses Which Remain Green Throughout the Entire Season.
_ A splendid mixture of dwarf, compact growing grass, all of which have been thoroughly tested and ‘free from impuri- ties, and put up in the proper proportions for forming a thick, velvety turf. Only the heaviest and best grass seeds are - used, all chaff and light non-productive material being carefully removed. The greatest care is taken in the selection of _ the seeds for purity, so that only grasses of a uniformly dwarf, compact growth, making an even surface of rich green is
- produced. During the early summer months we frequently produce a good compact sod from the mixture ready for cutting in less than a month after sowing the seed. e While the price of this mixture may seem high, it in reality is the cheapest, being composed of the purest and heaviest seed free from light material and chaff. j Price per % Ib., 30c; per Ib., 50c; 21% Ibs., $1.20; 5 Ibs., $2.25; 10 Ibs., $4.25; 20 Ibs., $8.25; 50 Ibs., $20.00; 100 Ibs., $38.00. _ If wanted by mail, add postage at zone rates.

Lawn Grass Mixture for Shady Places
If wanted by mail add for postage at zone rates.
To maintain a nice growth of grass under trees and in places where the sunlight only reaches part of the day was long considered almost hopeless. This can now be overcome in a great measure by our mixture, which is composed of dwarf, compact growing grasses that naturally grow in partial shade and will maintain a close, thick turf throughout the entire season. It frequently happens that the ground under trees becomes impoverished by the roots of the trees, making it almost impossible for grass to thrive unless a liberal top dressing of fertilizer is supplied, or when the ground has soured and covered with moss an application of ground lime will be found beneficial before sowing the seed.

This mixture is specially prepared for country homes where a close, even velvety turf is not easily secured, owing to the difficulty of watering, etc., so necessary for the maintenance of a perfect lawn. The Erasses used are such as endure drought and rough usage to a remarkable degree.
We have made up this mixture in a great measure for the formation of lawns at Lakeside Summer Homes that can only have attention during the summer montis: and for this purpose it will be found inval- uable.

WISCONSIN No. 8—A “Yellows” resist- ent strain developed under the di- rection of Dr. L. R. Jones of the University of Wisconsin from Danish Ball Head Cabbage, which is prac- tically immune from the _ disease known as the yellows. This Cabbage resembles the Hollander, but larger and more leafy, showing consider- able variation in type. The heads are round, somewhat flattened and solid, with the excellent keeping qualities of the Hollander. Pkt., 10¢; 02., $1.35; 144 Ib., $4.00; Ib., $12.00.

KING OF DENMARK SPINACH “ANTVORSKOV”
This new Spinach forms large compact tufts of broad, round leaves and will eventually replace all others for spring planting, as it is very slow to go to seed, continuing to grow and hold its fine quality for weeks after all other sorts have gone to seed. It makes a very quick and low growth, producing an abundance of dark green leaves which are of large size and very much crumpled. It is ready for use as soon as other varieties of spinach and the leaves hold up remarkably well after being cut. The quality is excellent and we consider it one of the most valuable additions to the vegetable varieties that has been made in recent years, both for growing in the home garden and for market. PkKt., 5e; oz, 10¢e; %4 Ib., 20¢; Ib., 50ce.
NEW PEA—EARLY EIGHT WEEKS
Most gardeners are now favoring the dwarf peas—their small vines require no brushing or poles and permit plant- ing between other crops like tomatoes, thus conserving space. In yield, too, they average well, only slightly less than the heaviest yielding taller sorts. “Eight Weeks” is one of the very shortest vined peas, growing only 8 to 10 inches in height. The quality is excellent. Season earlier than ‘“Nott’s Excelsior” or “American Wonder” and just as heavy a yielder. An ideal early kitchen garden sort. The garden affords no greater luxury than the first early fresh green peas right from the vine, “PkKt., 15¢; Ib., 40c; 2 Ibs., 70c. If wanted by mail, see zone rates.

ASPARAGUS
Asparagus may be grown in almost any soil, and under nearly all conditions, but succeeds best in a rich, sandy, friable loam with good under drainage, and yet not too dry. Avoid planting near trees or tall shrubs, because of the shade and heavy draft on the fertility of the ground. Choose an open'space with a southern exposure.
Put the soil into the best possible condition before planting by working in a liberal quantity of well rotted manure, or commercial fertilizer will do where barn-yard manure is not available. For family gardens dig a trench 18 inches wide for each row, placing a few inches of manure in the bottom, covering it with two or three inches of soil to prevent the roots coming in contact with the manure before active growth has begun. Set the plants from 15 to 18 inches apart in the rows, and 36 inches between the rows. In field culture it is best to set the plants three to four feet apart. In planting, the roots should be spread by dividing them in the middle, setting them over little hills of soil placed in the bottom of the trench, thus raising the crown a few inches above the extremities of the roots, and at once cover with three or four inches of soil for green, and piene to ten inches for white Asparagus, taking care to press the soil firmly about the roots. The plants may be set either in spring or late in fall. We advise planting in this latitude as early in the spring as the ground can be worked. The Asparagus plant is slow to die down in the fall, so the roots cannot safely be dug until about November 1st. By this time the soil is so cool that the plants do not root readily, consequently many are winter killed.
Frequent cultivation is required to keep down weeds and to pro- vide a mulch of loose earth for the retention of moisture, care being taken not to injure the young sprouts in the operation. —
Cutting should not begin until the plants are strong and vigor- ous, which is generally two or three years after planting, and should be discontinued after the first of July. Later cropping is done at the expense of weakening the roots. The plants should be allowed to fully mature before cutting off early in winter, and a top dressing of three or four inches of barn-yard manure applied. Asparagus being a gross feeder, naturally requires heavy fertilizing, ang As applicator of commercial fertilizer early in spring will be
eneficial.
Asparagus may be found suffering from blight, a condition fre- quently brought on by prolonging the cropping season, thereby weakening the roots, or it may be due to a want of fertility. So as to prevent it, apply a liberal quantity of manure every year, and above all avoid extending the cutting period too long. Should blight appear, however, spray the plants freely with Bordeaux Mixture, and destroy the affected parts.
Asparagus seed should be sown as early as possible in spring, scattering the seed an inch apart in drills, covering with %-inch of soil. After the plants are well up, thin to stand 2 inches apart. Keep the ground well cultivated and the plants will be ready to set one in permanent beds the following spring. One ounce of seed for

Garden beans should be inoculated the same as all other legumes.
The bacteria attach themselves to the roots forming nodules—simply colonies, masses of germs. These germs take nitragin from the air, supplying it to the plant, causing increased growth, more prolific bearing, higher food value, and above all, earlier maturity.
Inoculated beans come into bearing earlier, often 10 days to 2 weeks earlier than when not inoculated.
When ordering, state bacteria is wanted for garden beans.

Celery is a crop that requires a very long season. If an early crop is to be grown from seeds, the latter must be started indoors in boxes about the last of February, the plants being set in the ground, six inches apart, in May. The crop should be ready in August. Celery for winter may be grown from seeds started in the open ground in late April, but it is advisable to have a seed bed and to transplant the seedlings to the open field when large enough. It is well to cut off the lower half of the roots at transplanting time, and firming the soil around the plants is very important.
About the middle of August the banking of the early crop can be begun. Earth may be drawn up around the plants or a twelve-foot board may be set on edge each side of the row. The boards should incline toward each other so that they will be only three inches apart at the top. Cleats or hooks will hold them in place. From 10 to 20 days will be needed to blanch the celery. When there are only a few plants they may be wrapped with paper or tiles set over them.
Celery for winter needs less earthing up, as it will blanch after being stored. Before freezing weather comes the plants should be lifted and the outside leaves removed. Then they should be stored in a cool cellar or in a vegetable pit out- doors, being set closely together on the floor. The plants will keep well into the winter if simply set in trenches in the garden, being covered with boards over which hay, straw, leaves or manure is thrown.

A trench should be opened 16 to 18 inches deep and the roots placed upright in it 1% inches apart, and filled in with light soil, which places the neck of the roots about 8 inches below the level. If a quick growth is desired a covering of manure 10 inches deep may be used. In a month’s time the leaves will be ready for use, and should be taken up cutting off the blanched head with a portion of the root attached.

CULTURE.
Seed of the Sweet Corn is liable to rot if planted in wet or cold ground. Yet if we have an early warm spell in spring, it may pay to take some risks. Often the plants, when once up, will escape injury by a belated light frost. Plant in warm soil, making the rows 8 feet
_ apart for the dwarf early sorts, and 4 feet apart for the taller late sorts. Hills to be 2 to 3 feet apart in the rows. For succession plant every two weeks up to July 15th.
FOUR EARLY VARIETIES OF SWEET CORN

GOLDEN BANTAM
‘UNSURPASSED FOR THE SMALL GARDEN. OF REMARK- ABLE QUALITY. ONE OF THE SWEETEST.
Golden Bantam is a dwarf medium early yellow sweet corn of exceptionally good quality. It is the most popular Sweet Corn for the amateur. The ears are about six inches long, with eight rows of broad kernels, and gener- ally borne two on the stalk. The plant grows about 5 feet high, with heavy foliage. It is particularly adapted to small gardens on account of its small size; to larger gar- dens on account of its productiveness, and to all because of its excellent quality and delicious flavor. Its compact growth permits of close planting. If planted in hills drop four to six kernels in each hill three feet apart each way. If planted in rows make the rows three feet apart, dropping the kernels nine inches apart in the row. For a continuous supply of. this variety make plantings every ten days up to the middle of July.

GREEN CURLED ENDIVE
The “Chicorée Frisée” of the French.
An excellent salad plant, available long after the season for Lettuce, and more easily grown. The flavor is pleasantly bitter, stimulating and zest-giving. Is used also boiled as greens.
Green Curled is the best for general use, and is easily blanched by covering the full-grown plants with boards or pieces of slate. After severe frost the plants may be removed and planted closely in a cellar for winter use. The seed should be sown in rows about 2 feet apart and ¥% inch deep in the drill. When sufficiently grown, thin the plants out to 8 inches apart and cultivate thoroughly while growing. A very early crop may be grown by starting the seed in hotbed, greenhouse, or window box. Good results come from early spring sowing, and even better, when treated as a fall crop. Successional sowings during July give a continu- ous supply after cool weather, and with a slight covering the plants may be kept in good condition well into November. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15¢c; 14 Ib.,

The seed may be sown in the open ground in drills and the plants thinned out to 6 inches apart. One ounce of seed will sow 300 feet of drill.
Kohl-rabi is especially adapted to the back yard garden. It resembles a turnip in flavor, and is prepared for the table in the same way, but it does not grow underground, forming a bulb instead, a few inches above the roots, from which numerous leaf stalks shoot out. when kohl-rabi is about the size of a baseball, it is ready to be cut for the table. If allowed to grow much larger it gets tough and woody. Kohl-rabi will grow in almost any soil, and is ready for use in a few weeks from the time the seed is sown. Moreover, a succession can be obtained all summer by sowing seeds at intervals of two weeks, and the crop can be stored in sand in the cellar for winter.

Potatoes
Potatoes like rich soil but no fresh manure. Work a potato fertilizer into the rows with the hoe. Set the cut tubers in drill about six inches deep, with a piece every 15 inches. It is a good plan to fill in the drill with three inches of soil, then to apply fertilizer and fill in the rest of the soil. Tubers should be cut into pieces with two eyes and each piece should be as large as possible. Early potatoes are planted in April, later crops in June. The familiar potato bug can be kept away by the use of Arsenate of Lead or Pyrox, and for blight Bordeaux Mixture or Pyrox.
The price of potatoes is subject to change as the season advances, although we adhere to the catalogue prices as much as possible.

Manégel-Wurzel and Sugar Beet
Sow early in spring in deep, rich soil, in rows 18 to 24 inches apart. 5 lbs. to the acre in drills 2 feet apart. Thin out to 9 inches apart in the row.
For feeding stock few crops equal Mangel-Wurzel and Sugar Beets. Canadian farm- ers appear to appreciate this more than we do. The roots are stored in barns or pits before hard frost sets in and fed during the winter months.
The Giant Half-Sugar Beets are much more productive than the Sugar Beets and fully equal to the best of them in feeding qualities. A large portion of the root being above ground renders them easy to handle. Every stockman should give them a trial.
Mangel-Wurzel are also very nutritious and yield very heavy crops, often exceeding 1,500 bushels to the acre. It is not unusual to grow roots weighing upward of 20 lbs. each on fairly rich soil.
Prepare the ground thoroughly, using a liberal supply of barnyard manure, previous to sowing the seed.

Pasture Crass Mixtures
FOR SPRING AND FALL SOWING.
Where a field is to be put down to grass for a number of years a mixture of grasses that are more permanent than Tim- othy and Clover should be used, such as will produce good crops of hay and pasture for many years without reseeding.
We prepare mixtures. of grasses for a wide range of soils and conditions, and there is hardly any land so poor Or climate so unfavorable that we eannot furnish a mixture for it that will yield one or more crops of hay every year.
The first cost of seeding with these mixtures is generally more than Timothy and Clover, but the returns fully warrant the extra expense.
Only the best recleaned grass seeds are used by us in these mixtures, and if the soil and conditions are described, the proper proportions will be used to produce satisfactory results.

ANNUAL FLOWER SEEDS.
These complete the cycle of their existence, growing from seed to seed in one year. Many sorts require to be sown in some sheltered situation such as a greenhouse, cold frame, or window box about a month before they may be planted outdoors. By sowing thus early, the growing sea- son is proportionately prolonged. Others may be sown where they are to stand, in which case they require care- ful attention for the first few weeks.
Annuals offer a large field for selection, embracing plants of all kinds, from the modest Sweet Alyssum to the gorgeous Salvia, the majestic Ricinus, and dainty Cosmos. They are found in every conceivable shade of color, and are adaptable for growing as single specimens, or planting for large effect in clumps or masses, while others are well suited for making borders.
While there is no class of plants that will survive better under rigorous conditions, yet in order to achieve the best results they should be planted where they can obtain ample sunlight, and may be easily watered.
It is almost needless to urge the importance of careful weeding, as weeds usually grow more rapidly than the seedlings. If the rows are carefully marked when sown it will be easy to distinguish the weeds.
A continuity of bloom may be secured by occasional sowings of many sorts, such as Eschscholtzia, Sweet Alys- sum, Phlox, Zinnia, etc.
The great value of annuals is greatly enhanced by the fact that an effectual display may be secured for a very modest outlay.
PERENNIAL FLOWER SEEDS.
The great charm of Perennials lies in their permanence. Once established they are a constant source of pleasure, and among the most interesting plants in our gardens, pre- senting a variety of form and color so great as to fit them for almost every conceivable purpose in the garden.
A very large proportion of the Perennial plants that may be grown from seed have great value as cut flowers, because of their great substance, which enables them ‘to stand up well long after cutting.
Notwithstanding their individual charm, they are most effective when planted in a mixed border, where by arrang- ing them according to height, color and season of flowering, an attractive display may be had from the earliest days of spring, all through the summer, and even after the first frosts herald the approach of winter. And so, week by week, such a border will present new charms and revive old ones, the beauty of it growing with ever-increasing interest.
Perennials are generally raised from seed grown from early spring to about August ist. :
Treated thus, they make strong plants which may be planted in a permanent situation early enough in the fall to enable them to winter safely.
In some instances plants will flower the first year from seed if sown quite early, but nearly all require a year to reach their full development. .

ANNUAL LARKSPURS.
This is one of the best known garden flowers, and in recent years a vast improvement has been effected, by careful selection in size, and eolor 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 an- nual. They make handscme 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.

Our strains of double flowering Petunias are unsurpassed for beauty and size of flowers and produce a large percentage of double flowers. It is well known that seed saved from the most carefully hybridized flowers produce but a small percentage of double flowers, the balance
being single of unusually fine quality.
The weaker seedlings should be
carefully saved, as these invariably produce the finest double flowers.
The same is true of the single sorts,
the large, strong seedlings usual-
ly being weedy, while the, at first, weaker seedlings produce the very
finest flowers of best colorings. transplant to the cpen in May. right out of doors in May.

| Phlox Drummondi
The annual Phlox is unsurpassed as a bedding plant, | being one of the most brilliant and at the same time the easiest and most satisfactory plant for the garden. It grows and thrives in almost any soil if given a sunny position, but in a light, rich loan it is at its best. Seed | may be sown in the open ground soon after danger of frost | is past in spring, and in a few weeks the plants are cov- ered with a mass of bloom continuing to bear freely until | cut down by frost in fall. For massing in beds or borders
few plants are as showy, and they are equally serviceable | planted in vases and window boxes. The Phlox is a native
of Texas, and is commonly known as “Texan Pride.” Height, 1% feet.

While these are hardy perennials, they flower the first year from spring sown seed, blooming almost as quickly as the annual sorts. They are of graceful, neat habit, with bright green, fern-like foliage, slender stalks about 12 inches hi h, bearing their brilliant flowers in endless pro- fusion; most useful for cutting, for which purpose pick when in bud, and, if the seed pods are picked off, continue in flower the entire season. They remain ever- green throughout the winter, coming into bloom early the following spring.

Sweet Peas How to Grow Them.
Sweet Peas should be can be worked. Rich manure is an ideal soil. made, sowing the s inch of soil,
planted as early in spring as the ground loam with an abundance of well rotted
A trench about 6 inches deep should be >d thinly in the bottom, and cover with an pressing it down firmly. Gradually fill in the trench as the plants grow, and thin out to 2 to 4 inches apart. When too close they make a weak growth with inferior flowers. Brush or wire netting should be placed in the rows as soon the plants appear above the ground. During dry weather water thoroughly and stir the surface soil frequently to prevent evaporation. Keep the flowers cut and never allow seed pods to form, as that at once ends the flowering season.
Late fall planting of Sweet Peas is practical, and is best done just before the ground freezes up, sowing the seed 3
about 3 inches deep, covering the rows with manure or Jeaves after the ground is 1rozen.,.
