This has given our Manuat a deserved reputation for, truthfulness and accuracy. It is for this reason that some things that are much lauded in other catalogues are omitted. Some do not appear as large or extravagant as shown in the overdrawn cuts of other lists. Our pictures have won for us the attention of thousands of seed buyers, and we have held their confidence by meeting the promises of our catalogue, both as to illustrations and descriptions of the various vegetables and flowers which are made during the growing season at FLoracrorr or on our yarious Seep Farms where the crops are grown. It is for this reason that our Manuat isso frequently used by other seedsmen as a reference-book and is frequently found at the agricultural colleges, being used as an auxiliary text-book.

The cash expended at Fioracrorr buys knowledge, and the benefit goes to our customers. Besides making extensive open field trials at FLoracrort, we also develop there a considerable amount of high-grade pedigree stock seed. Although these grounds are under the direct personal super- vision of one of our firm, we have there also experienced and intelligent men who understand the ~ improvement and development of ideal types and high standards.

The roots were imported from Mr. Louis Lérault de Argenteuil, of France, and have proven this new asparagus to be not only 10 days earlier than Pal- metto, but of larger size and superior in flavor and color. In New York market, the past two seasons, it sold for $5.00 per dozen, while other varieties only brought $1.50 to $2.00 per dozen. It is by far the most promising asparagus, as a money maker, that can be grown. Our seed and roots are from the original importation that has attracted so much attention and sold so highin New York.

It originated with N. B. Keeney & Sons, the well-known bean experts of New York State, and is the first round-podded Wax Bean we have ever found possessing the excellent market and shipping qualities of the popular Wardwell’s Kidney Wax. The plant grows tall, strong and sturdy, with long, round, handsome, stringless pods of large size, very solid and full of meat, crisp, brittle and free from rust; wonderfully early and productive.

Seed of which is now offered for sale for the first time THE MOST PERFECT BEET IN EXISTENCE For more than fifty years Mr. Wm. Lannier, one of the oldest and best-known market garden- ers near Philadelphia, supplied the early and late markets with the handsomest and most salable beets that could be had, and Lannier's Beets, as they were called, became much sought after by the best commission merchants of New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. During all these years Mr. Lan- nier selected with a critical eye the most perfect beets from each crop for seed stock to plant for his own use, never allowing himself to purchase seed for planting from any one. This new beet is the result of all these years of such careful and intelli- gent selection, and in it we believe the acme of perfection has been reached in beet culture. In sending out sample trial packages last spring, we offered $100.00 in cash for the best names suggested for it. These names were referred to a disinterested committee of three, who, after careful consideration of all the names sent in, selected the name of Lannier’s Superba as the best, with ten other names as the next best. We immediately sent our checks aggregating $100 to the successful competitors, as follows: First Prize, $50.00 for Best Name. Geo. Hichoff, McElhattan, Pa. James Allen, Laurel Springs, N. J.

IRVING, Salina, Kan., Aug. 10, 1903, writes: ‘‘I Plauied your new beet (Lannier’s Superba) one week after entz and dug them the same time. Jt is the handsomest and best beet yet introduced.” NE PLUS ULTRA OF BEET FAMILY Louis MEYER, Malvern, Ark., June 13, 1903, writes: ‘‘I planted your new beet (Lannier’s Superba) the end of March and began using them May 11th. They are the best beet we ever had; rich, sweet and of asplendid dark carmine color. This new variety is surely the ne plus ultra of all.”’ MOST ATTRACTIVE FOR MARKET CHAS. G.

They were invariably picked out by pur- chasers before other kinds were touched. I regret that my whole crop was not of this new variety, but I intend it shall be in the future.”’ BEST FROM SIX SEEDSMEN Miss Mary E.

(See also colored plate on back of book.) Wn. R. WAKEFIELD, Woodhaven, N. Y. Johnson & Stokes’ Quick-Cash Cabbage is a cross between our Johnson & Stokes’ Earliest and Early Spring, made and successfully bred for us by one of the largest cabbage growers of Long Island. It is fully as early as the celebrated Johnson & Stokes’ Earliest. Some growers who tested it the past season claim it is even earlier than that wonderful variety. It has an advantage, however, in being a round or flat-headed cabbage, which type is generally preferred to pointed heads. It grows to good size for so early a variety. The stem is short, leaves finely veined, heads very solid, with few outer leaves. It has the peculiarity of heading firmly at a very early stage of growth, so that cabbage of the finest edible and market quality can be obtained long before it has reached its mature size. These advantages, together with its large yield per acre, make it the most profitable and desirable early cab- bage that can be grown for either the market or home garden.

Erarp, Comstock, Mich., July 13, 1903, writes: “Every plant of your new cabbage (J. & S. Quick-Cash) made a good-sized solid head, as hard as a rock, quality most excellent and earliest of all.” STANDS FOR WEEKS WITHOUT BURSTING E. S. SHAFFER, Moline, Ill., August 25, 1903, writes: “Your new cabbage (J. & S. Quick-Cash) grown side by side with four other extra early kinds, has beat them all in earli- ness and whiteness of fruit and in solidity of head. After apparently being fully matured it stands for weeks without bursting; it even grows moré solid, crisp and tender the longer it stands.” EVERY HEAD A PICTURE OF BEAUTY Wm. Wincott, of Suffolk County Horticultural Associa- tion, Babylon, N. Y., July 27, 1903, writes: ‘‘I hardly know how to describe your new cabbage (J. & S. Quick-Cash). It is the finest and earliest I ever saw. Heads are very large and the very best quality. Every head is a perfect picture of beauty.”’ THE FINEST EARLY SHIPPER WILSON TURNER, Greeley, Col., July 24, 1903, writes : “Your new cabbage (J. & S. Quick-Cash) is a perfect wonder in earliness, fine quality and solidity. It will be the finest early shipper.” SELLS AT HIGH PRICES JoHN HERRMAN, Groesback, Ohio, August 5, 1903, writes : ‘From the one packet of your new cabbage sent me (J. &S. Quick-Cash) I raised 340 fine heads for market, and sold at high prices. I found it earlier and more solid than any other cabbage I ever raised.” A WEEK EARLIER THAN ANY OTHER CHAS. G. ADDISON, Springfield, Md., July 20, 1903, writes: ‘‘T have tested your new cabbage (J. & S. Quick-Cash ) impar- tially with my favorite early varieties, and found that from the start it took the lead of all others and held it to the end. They are at least a week earlier than any other, and are re- markable for their solidity and sure heading qualities.’’ LARGE HEADS IN TWO MONTHS Wm. W. Foust, Barnegat, N. J., August 14, 1903, writes: ‘“Your new cabbage (J. & S. Quick-Cash) was the earliest I ever raised. Small plants set out the middle of April pro- duced large solid heads the 15th of June. I reserved some of the seeds to sow in Fall to Winter over in cold frames, and I believe I can get cabbage middle of next May.” NOT BOTHERED BY WORMS B. MARPLE, Canonsburg, Pa., August 4, 1903, writes: “Your new cabbage (J. & S. Quick-Cash) came extra early, with fine, large, very solid round heads, slightly flat. It grows very close and compact, and was not bothered any by worms.”’ EARLIEST OF SIX EXTRA EARLY SORTS R. A. CALVIN, Lawrence, Mich., August 12, 1903, writes: “‘T planted your New Early Cabbage (J. & S. Quick-Cash) this season at the same time with six other extra early varieties, and I had yoursin the market ahead of all the rest. It was very crisp, and more solid at the core than the others.” THE FIRST TO CUT GEORGE W. Cook, Cable, Pa., July 17, 1903, writes: “I am decidedly pleased with your new cabbage (J. & S. Quick- Cash). It is the earliest of all the early kinds, being the first I cut this year and by far the handsomest,”’ | wo NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES IN VEGETABLES Os = AOrs A New Late Cabbage—Worm-proof Hardiana Our attention was first attracted to this cabbage in Dock Street Market, Philadelphia, two years ago, on account of its quick sale and handsome appearance, the leaves being entirely free of worm-holes, while all other varieties were more or less eaten by the worms. On close examination we found a slight coating or enameling completely covering the leaves, making it impervious to the worms and without affecting its fine quality. We found the variety was controlled by a few Atlantic County, N. J., growers, who readily sold the seed to their near neighbors at $3 to $5 per ounce, and it was only after great per- suasion and at high cost we were able to get enough to grow our present supply. The heads are very hard and solid, of good size, often showing a slight purplish tinge on top,and as a winter keeper there is nothing superior. Per pkt., 15c.; oz., 70c.; 4 lb., $2.25; lb., $8.00. A FEW OPINIONS ON NEW WORM- PROOF HARDIANA CABBAGE NEW NAMELESS CABBAGE FOR INTRODUCTION IN 1905. B. F. PEEPLES, Whaley, S. C., Aug. 15, 1903, writes: ‘‘Your new Worm-proof Cabbage, of which you sent me a packet for trial, is most excellent; it stands the heat better than any I have ever grown. Absolutely worm-proof and very large and solid.”’ IF. W. ScHAEFER, Newburgh, N. Y., Sept. 9, 1903, writes: "Your new Worm-proof Cabbage is all O. K.; not a worm on any of them; beautiful, solid heads of the best quality. I thank you for sending me the seed for trial.” JacoB S. KnisELy, Red Lion, Pa., Sept. 26, 1903, writes: “For the year 194 I shall plant nothing but new Worm-proof Cabbage if you have the seed forsale. It is by far the hand- somest and most perfect late cabbage I have ever seen.” A New Nameless Cabbage Trial Packets Now Free We have been fortunate in securing a small quantity of seed from the originator of the beauti- ful new cabbage shown alongside (not yet named), and which we propose to introduce in 1905. We shall be glad to add a good-sized trial package free to all orders of $1.00 and over, where an interest in our new varieties is indicated. 6 a OHNSON & STOKES, PHILADELPHIA a 3 NIA @) 4 bomen q \ - vy yee ee Oa Re ee \ Pp et hee Lan oe ee oe oe ce i j ae ' a % ay ae ankee eet ttt saensee Sinha pssaceneed Lj —— eee SF j ’ Zp Oe ae OS a ak ae a a bp A ak ys bh A5-t ds ntadandnted el PHOTOGRAPH OF AVERAGE EARS OF HOLMES’ PREMO SWEET CORN, Holmes’ Premo 60-Day Sweet Corn Mr. C.S. Clark and several other expert corn growers pronounce this new variety from five to seven days earlier than any other sweet corn in existence. In our own tests the past season it gave us good boiling ears ahead of all other corn planted, with the single exception of the New Buck Mountain. It combines all the merits of the leading early varieties, and is also really superior to many of them in size, quality and yield. Holmes’ Premo can be planted fully as early as the Adams, for the young plants withstand slight frosts, while other varieties are tender and the seed will rot if planted before the soil becomes warm. The stalks grow about five feet high, and are very vigorous, generally bearing two well- developed ears to a stalk. Ext., 10c.; pint, 25c.; quart, 40c., postpaid ; by express or freight, qt., 30c.

American Gardening, the leading agricul- tural paper of New York, in its celery trial ground reports, March 7, 1903, says: “ Winter Queen (Johnson & Stokes). In the vicinity of New York City the market gardeners have found this variety of green celery to be the one to plant in preference to any other. It is one of the very best for late use ; stands hand- ling and shipping the very best; it was intro- duced by the firm who annually have sent us the sample of seed for our trials. It is one of the darkest of green celeries; makes an exceed- ingly strong and robust growth ; ; in fact, the plant, from its very early life, has an appear- ance of healthfulness; it is of a close and stocky habit, and when blanched is of a cream-white; very solid and of a very good flavor; it does not grow so very tall, but does make an exceedingly large, broad crown, and thus develops a large heart. For profit this is the best variety now grown of the green celeries.”’ If you want genuine seed of the Winter Queen send to the introducers.

It is remarkably handsome and prolific. Mr. Howard Russ, of Burlington County, N. J., who is probably the largest egg plant grower in the State, and no better authority could be given, says: ‘The Early Black Beauty which I obtained first from you proved to be much hardier and thriftier in growth than any other. Itisalsomuch better in shape and fuller at the top than the New York Large Purple. It gave me the handsomest patch of egg plants I ever saw.

It is estimated that over 4,000 acres were planted in 1903, which were shipped, reaching almost every large city in the United States, where they were placed on sale as the choicest fruits in the most fashionable markets, always realizing handsome profits, owing to their fine quality and appearance. They are an improvement on and differ from the old “ Netted Gem”’ in being a little more oblong in shape and possessing much better shipping and keeping qualities, and are unquestionably one of the best second early green fleshed melons in existence. Owing to the growing popularity of this melon, much spurious seed is being offered at low prices, and we warn our customers to beware of such.

Supply of seed grown and selected by the originator is so small we can only offer in packets this season. Per pkt., 20c.; 3 pkts., 50c.; 7 pkts. for $1.00. NEW CHINESE GIANT PEPPER NEW CRIMSON GIANT FORCING BADISH. On account of its earliness, productiveness and q large size, truckers who grow for market have found this a most profitable variety. Plants grow very vigorous and stocky ; flesh unusually thick, mild and sweet. Pkt., 10c.; 0z., 60c.; + lb., $1.75 ; lb., $6.50. NEW CRIMSON GIANT FORCING RADISH FOR FORCING OR OPEN GROUND CULTURE A new type of Early Turnip Radish of a strik- ing deep crimson color, attaining a size of 6 to 7 inches in circumference, weighing over an ounce, or about four times the weight of Scarlet Turnip sorts; notwithstanding its immense size, it does not get hollow or pithy, the flesh remaining white, solid, crisp and tender, and of the mildest flavor. The shape is well shown in our photograph along- side. Packets of seed, for trial, were distributed last Spring to many experienced market gardeners, who all agree that it is a very valuable acquisition to our list of fine early Radishes. Per pkt., 10c.; 0z., 20c.; $ lb., 50c.; Ib., $1.75.

S° NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES IN VEGETABLES 7 11 OS 03 rd Photograph of new SANTA ROSA TOMATO—specimen weighing 23 ounces, 1744 inches in circumference. New Jammoth Main Grop Tomato—now called SANTA ROSE Three years ago one of our customers at Santa Rosa, California, sent us a few seeds of this valuable new tomato for trial. Upon growing we found in it a new race of tomatoes, differing from all others in its brilliant crimson untinged color, thick symmetrical shape, solid, meaty and almost seedless flesh. We were also astonished at its great size, eclipsing all very large tomatoes such as Ponderosa, Enormous and all others we have ever seen, many fruits 5 to 6 inches across and almost as deep through. Desiring that it be given a trial in all sections of the country, before offering the seed for sale, we sent out several thou- sand trial packages last Spring, and publish below a few extracts from several hundred letters received. AN OBJECT OF AMAZEMENT Hon. Bens. M. FRISBEE, Rideout, Fla., July 7, 1903, writes: “Your new Main Crop Tomato (Santa Rosa) is an object of amazement to all. I have just picked one that measures 16 inches around and weighs 20% ounces. Although so large, they are solid and firm. They are smooth and round, and as @ main cropper cannot be surpassed ; they are about 14 days later than Sparks’ Karliana.”’ A WONDER IN SIZE AND QUALITY J. C. SuTTON, Blacks, Ind., Sept. 14, 1903, writes: ‘‘ Your new tomato (Santa Rosa) isa wonder in size and quality; I never saw itsequal. I shall want to buy the seed next season.”’ A CONTINUOUS BEARER R. H. DENNEY, Smyrna, Del., Sept. 14, 1903, writes: ‘‘Early in the Spring I sowed in our plant house your New Mammoth Main Crop Tomato Seed (Santa Rosa); they made us very strong, thrifty plants. Iset them out in due time and they made excellent vines. The tomatoes were the largest I ever saw. Our crop is now about over; they have been bearing since the early part of July.” BEST FOR CANNING AND MARKET P. WEBER, Hamilton, Ohio, Sept. 16, 1903, writes: ‘‘ Your new California tomato is the finest main crop variety, being very large, firm and solid, with but few seeds. I highly recommend it as the best for canning and market.’’ WHAT A NEWSPAPER SAYS Leta M. BRADLEY, of Malden, Mo., sends, July 3, 19038, a clipping from The Dunklin News, which reads: ‘‘ Three mam- moth tomatoes were brought to this office yesterday that are fine specimens of that luscious fruit. They were raised by J. N. Howard in this city and he says he has great quantities that are nearly as large as these specimens. Two of them measure 14 inches in circumference and weigh over one pound each. The seed (Santa Rosa) came from Johnson & Stokes. The plants had no particular cultivation more than is usual.” TOMATOES OVER 7 INCHES ACROSS J. M. McCRAcKEN, Bucyrus, Ohio, Aug. 9, 1903, writes : “T have plants growing of your large California Main Crop Tomato (Santa Rosa) from seed received last Spring and I now have tomatoes on them measuring over 7 inches across.”’ VIGOROUS AND WONDERFULLY PROLIFIC Rost. C. May, Miamo, Fla., May 2, 1903, writes: ‘* Your new Main Crop California Tomato (Santa Rosa) is a very fine variety. The plant is a vigorous grower, wonderfully prolific and the fruit solid, very large and excellent in quality.” LARGEST AND BEST HE EVER GREW J. M. MuRTLAND, Dawson, Pa., Sept. 22, 1903, writes: “The fruit of your new Main Crop Tomato (Santa Rosa) ripens very evenly. It is the largest and best 1 evergrew.”’ Prices for 1904 of new Santa Rosa Tomato seed of our own growth and selection: Pkt., 15c.; 2 pkts., 25c.; 0z., 70c.; ¢ lb., $2.00; lb., $7.00. A New Extra Early Tomato Free Which We Desire to Have Tested in Comparison with our Famous Sparks’ Earliana Very early tomatoes have of late years been such a profitable crop that almost every grower in Southern New Jersey boasts, with more or less justice, that he has the earliest tomato. This new variety comes from the same trucking section as Sparks’ Earliana, and the originator, Mr. E. A. Locke, claims it to be even earlier than that wonderful variety. So strongly was it recommended by Mr. Locke and many of his neighbors that we have secured from him, at high cost, a limited quantity of the seed, so that we may include a liberal trial packet to all customers whose orders amount to $2.00 and over. Photograph of a single plant of SPARKS’ EARLIANA TOMATO, showing its wonderful productiveness. SPARKS’ EARLIANA TOMATO _ 3tUZieiRsteovce THE EARLIEST LARGE, SMOOTH TOMATO IN THE WORLD The most perfect of all tomatoes. Of large uniform size and beautiful red color. Quality almost beyond praise. Ripens thoroughly all over, the stem-end coloring up perfectly. Almost seedless and as solid as beefsteak. Most vigorous grower. A prodigious bearer, continuing until frost. Succeeds everywhere from Maine to California, and Canada to Mexico. The above claims may seem strong, but they have been abundantly proven by thou- sands of planters who have grown this grand tomato in the past 3 years. Nothing we have ever introduced has brought us go many strong unsolicited tes- timonials. Tomato growers of the United States have realized hundreds of thousands of dol- lars from this remarkable va- riety. The demand for the seed was so great in 1903 that we were obliged to refuse all large orders from planters and seeds- men. We have positive knowl- edge that another and greatly inferior tomato was sold last season, and will again be offered in 1904 as Sparks’ Earliana, and warn our customers to beware of such. Sparks’ Earliana ig as near seedless as any tomato we ever saw, giving but 12 to 15 pounds Asingle cluster of SPARKS’ EARLIANA taken from our field. of seed to the acre, while other varieties yield from 75 to 100 pounds per acre. For this reason the genuine seed can never be sold at a low price. We control the entire supply of seed grown direct from the originator’s selected stock seed.

T. MAUzyY, Princeton, Ind., Aug. 19, 1903, writes: “‘T never saw any tomato that would begin to equal Sparks’ Earliana in earliness, productiveness and fine quality. Ican get more tomatoes off of 300 Sparks’ Earliana plants than I could get off 1000 of any other variety.” OVER TWO WEEKS AHEAD Gro. M. Harwoop, Platte, Mich., Sept. 18, 1903, writes: ‘‘I had tomatoes over two weeks before any one else here, they were your Earliana. I sold 59 baskets of them at $1.25 per basket. Everybody praises them. They areso large and solid and have better flavor than any other tomato.” RIPEN IN CANADA JULY 10th A. H.

I gathered bushels of ure ones in this northern latitude on the 10th of uly. FINEST FRUITS FROM JULY TO SEPTEMBER W. H. CLARK, New Brunswick, N.

I have been growing tomatoes for 18 years and have never seen its equal. Fine large tomatoes more than three weeks ahead of all others -on the market.” MOST VALUABLE NOVELTY IN A CENTURY JOHN W. MILLETT, Bismarck, N. Dakota, writes: “T congratulate you on having introduced the most valuable tomato novelty of the past century, which Sparks’ Earliana surely is. It is earlier than all other varieties ever brought forward; it produces three ‘times the amount of fruit of any variety I ever grew. This superb tomato not only equals, but far surpasses -all you claim for it.” TWO WEEKS AHEAD OF ATLANTIC PRIZE Mrs. B. R.

It was originated by Mr. A. Donald,a prominent |f market gardener of Elmira. He has always realized hand- some prices, and although a large grower was unable to supply half the demand. The delicate green color is notably different from either the fam- ous Barr's Philadelphia Mam- moth or Pa)Jmetto, while the stalks are more tender and succulent. Its mammoth size ean be realized from the fact that in whole crops a bunch of twelve stalks will average three to four poundsin weight. It requires much less labor in jf eutting and bunching, thus lessening the expense of mar- keting. Price of Seed: Pkt., 5e.; oz., 10¢c.; 14 lb., 30c.; lb., 90.

Notwithstanding its large size, it is ready for picking immediately after the extra early sorts, is a heavy yielder and bears shipment well, ite shape enabling it to resist pressure much better than the rounder melons. The Anne Arundel is fast becoming the most popular green-fleshed sort for both market and family use. Pkt., 5c.; 0z., 15c.; + 1b., 40c.; lb., $1.40. SHORT SEED CROPS Owing to attacks of in- sects and bad climatic conditions in many seed-growing sections seed crops of both muskmelons and watermelons have been shorter than for many years. There is not half enough seed in the country for normal require- ments. Before going to print with this catalogue, we have declined wholesale orders for thousands of pounds of the leading sorts, preferring to supply our retail customers with their wants, and hope our action will be appreciated. Varieties not listed are a total failure. MELONS—Watermelon One ounce will plant about fifty hills and four pounds will plant one acre. SPECIMEN OF PAUL’S BONNY BEST—RIPENED IN 62 DAYS. Paul’s Bonny Best Watermelon The earliest watermelon in cultivation. It originated with the late Aaron Paul, the famous New Jersey melon grower and hybridizer, In our trials in past seasons we had good-sized melons, plenty large for market, weighing 15 to 20 lbs. each, on July 10th, from seed planted May 9th, while most other varieties could not be eaten until about August Ist.

New Triumph Watermelon This new melon has created quite a furore among shippers on account cf the very high prices realized by those who have grown them.

It is enormously productive, reaching a mammoth size, with rich, dark green skin. It cuts equal to any market melon we have ever eaten, and its shipping ‘qualities are phenomenal, no other melon equaling it in tough skin and rind. While it has rapidly become one of the leading melons for market, it is one of the: best “all round’? melons in existence, and for the family garden it is also without a peer.

Its great pro- ductiveness is shown from the fact that it frequently matures six to eight large melons to the vine. Owing to the great popularity of this variety, another and much inferior melon is frequently substituted and soldforit. Ifyou want quality and genuine seed, send to the introducers.

The pods shoot out from the stalk within three inches of the ground, and the whole plant is covered with them to the extreme height of the plant. The pods are an intense greem eolor, of unusual length, eight to nine inches, very slim, and do not get hard, as is the case with other okras. It is also much sought after by canners, being the best of all green sorts for canning for Winter use. Our seed is grown by the originator. Pkt, 5¢.; oz., 10¢c:; 14 Ib., 25¢.; Ib..

Our stock is all grown from choice bulbs, selected by hand, and is unsurpassed in this country. During our whole business career as seedsmen, it has always been our aim to make quality a first consideration, price afterwards, and in no one crop have we met with greater reward for our efforts than in onions, the demand for our seed having increased so rapidly that we have been obliged to largely increase our facilities for growing every year for several years past. PHILADELPHIA-GROWN SEED, or that raised in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania, is unquestionably earlier than New England seed, and still earlier compared with Western seed. This is an important feature, as the early market onions always bring the highest prices. The growth con- clusively proves our claim, the Philadelphia seed making bulbs of better quality for keeping or imme- diate use, either as sets or full-sized onions, long before seed from any other locality. Large, full-sized onions can be grown from our seed the first season in any section of the United States, North or South One ounce will sow one hundred feet ef drill. To grow large onions from seed, five pounds to the acre; to grow small sets, fifty to sixty pounds to the acre are required. For full infcrmation fer culture, storage and marketing onions and onion sets. see our New Leaflet-Essays on thi: subject, which will be sent free with all orders for onion seed, when requested.

Model Export Hardy Onion This new onion, seed of which we offered for sale for the first time last season, originated in Northern New York, where the seed had heretofore been controlled by a few market growers. In fine color they are different from all other onions, and might be described as a pinkish dark yellow or distinct mandarin color. They have become noted for their long-keeping qualities, commanding high prices and much sought after by onion dealers in New York and Boston for shipment to foreign countries. Their rapidity of growth makes them invaluable, as they are ready for bunching for market two weeks before any other onion, growing good-sized onions from the black seed almost as early as other onions grown from sets, and can therefore be produced much cheaper.

They grew splendidly while other kinds were a failure. As I have the only Model Export in this county I will have # home market for them all at good prices.” R. G. Wuirte, W. Orange, S. Dak., Oct. 24th, writes: ‘It is beyond my power to properly describe the merits of the New Hardy Export Onion. It is very large for one so early, distinct and beautiful in color, extremely hardy, and the onions look to me as though they would keep for a year.” _JouN O. RAsseErR, Mill Hall, Pa., Aug. 13, 1903, writes: ‘‘ Your Philadel- phia Yellow Globe Danvers Onion seed has produced for me the finest crop of onions in all this section; no other will be planted here next year.” Henry Hosxrns, Binghamton, N.

New Jersey grown sweet potatoes are everywhere acknowledged to be the best in quality, being much dryer and sweeter than those grown in the South and West, while their keeping and shipping qualities are away ahead. We pack for shipment in boxes and barrels, with greatest care; but asthey are very suscep- tible to climatic changes, we cannot hold ourselves respon- sible for their condition after long journeys ofseveral hundred miles, and wish it distinctly understood that customers take ALL RISKS after we deliver in good condition to the express or railroad company here. We do not ship until about planting time unless specially ordered to do so. Our barrels contain three bushels—good measure. Full and concise directions for bedding and sprouting the seed, setting out and cultivating sweet potato plants, also harvest- ing and storing for winter, will be found in onr new Leaflet- Essays on Sweet Potato Culture, which we will send free with all orders when requested to do so. Photograph of Section of Field Grown by the Originator for us, of the NEW VINELAND BUSH SWEET POTATO. Vineland Bush Sweet Potato The New Vineland Bush Sweet Potato is bound to revolutionize sweet potato culture. It originated on the farm of John Maytrott, the extensive sweet potato grower of New Jersey, from the well-known Early Nansemond and old Vineland Sweet Potato. Itis a perfect bush, with no inclin- ation for spinning, resembling a bean bush very closely. The tubers grow directly under the stalk. They are most abundant bearers, good flavor, handsome rich yellow color and excellent keepers. Customers who have tried them say: “They are simply perfection and a great improvement over all other vineless potatoes heretofore sold.” OF INTEREST TO DAIRYMEN. Mr. Maytrott writes: ‘From 2,000 plants I had in one patch I harvested 86 baskets of prime potatoes, 35 seconds and 27 culls, making a total of 148°4 bushel baskets. I then had the tops, which average 3 pounds each, which made 6,000 pounds of green forage, which was eaten with great relish by my cows. The milk was rich and had a sweet, pleasant flavor. All other stock except horses thrive onit. By planting in rows, 30 inches wide and 15 inches apart, one acre will contain about 14,000 plants. With proper care you will havea fine crop of potatoes and about Twenty-one Tons of Green Forage.” Prices: per lb., 40c.; 3 lbs., $1.00, by mail, postage paid; peck, $1.50; bushel, $5.00, by express.

J., and afterward when placed on exhibition at our Philadelphia store. KING OF THE MAMMOTHS—tte Great Prize Pumpkin ' This now famous pumpkin first came to our attention some years ago, while visiting France, where — “we secured seed and distributed it among our customers. The results have been astonishing. No other pumpkin ever introduced has reached such enormous weights, and been awarded as many prizes. Hundreds of our customers have raised specimens weighing over one hundred and fifty pounds each, the heaviest ever grown, and sent in to us, being the above specimen, which tipped the scale at two hundred and forty-seven pounds. It frequently attains a diameter of over four feet. The flesh and skin are golden yellow, and notwithstanding itsenormoussize, it makes a good table pumpkin, “PRICES FOR 1904.

Its fine shape, as shown in photograph above, is notits only superior quality, but it is the handsomestin color of all deep red sorts, selling better in market than other olive-shaped sorts.

Our FARM SEEDS HAVE GAINED A NATIONAL REPUTATION, and we supply each year hundreds of customers in every State, from MAINE TO CALIFORNIA. Johnson & Stokes’ Thoroughbred Field Corn Selected for Seed—Tested for Vitality IMPROVED LEAMING CORN We feel it a great honor to have been the first seedsmen to in- troduce and call attention to the great value of the True Improved Leaming Corn, eighteen years ago, since which time it has grown in popularity each season, and is now catalogued by nearly every seedsman in America, It is probably more largely planted now, both in the Northern and Southern States, than any other field | corn known. This and the 100-Day Bristol Corn, also first in- troduced by us in 1895, are by far the earliest and best large-eared Early Yellow Dent Corns in cultivation. The ears are large and handsome, asshownin our photograph alongside, with good, deep | grain, of deep orange color and small red cob. Stalks grow to | medium size (not large), with few suckers, slender and leafy, mak- ing most excellent fodder, producing two good ears to each stalk ; husks and shells easily. It ripens in 90 to 100 days and never fails to make a good crop even in dry seasons, by reason of its earliness in maturing and strong, vigorous growth. One hundred and thirty- six bushels shelled corn have been grown to the acre on good corn ground. It isalso adapted to a greater variety of soils than other varieties, producing unusually well on light or heavy land, where other varieties would not thrive. For several years past our sales of this one variety have averaged more than two thousand bushels annually, much of it going to the extreme Northern States and Canada, where it has also become very popular for fodder and ensilage purposes.

A perfect wonder in large size of ears, uniformly over a foot in length The Highest Average Yielder This new corn excited the admiration and wonder of thousands of farmers who visited the Agricultural Building at the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo, in 1901. Of the hundreds of varie- ties there exhibited, from almost every State in the Union, it carried off the honors, and we feel justly proud in being the first seedsmen to procure the seed from its experienced originator, Mr. H. W. Austin, and offered it for sale to our customers two years ago. The yield on the farm of the originator the past season was at the rate of 120 bushels to the acre, and in the most unfavorable seasons it has never given less than 100 bushels to the acre of its magnificent ears, borne 2 toastalk, ripening in 110 to 120 days from planting ; grain deep, rica yellow, very heavy, and will sell for the highest prices on any market in the land ; stalks medium, not too large, and produce enormously on both light and heavy land. Prices for 1904: lb., 40c.; 3 lbs. $1.00, by mail, postpaid; by freight or express, sacks included, peck, 80c.; bush., $2.50; bag of 2 bush. for $4.50.

We have just finished husking and have 86 bush- els from the half peck sown.” SURELY A WORLD BEATER GrEcrGe MummeErt, Goshen, Ind., Sept. 16, 1903, writes; “Austin’s Colossal Yellow Dent Corn from your seed is surely a world beater. The ears are from 13 to 16 inches long and filled to the tips.”’ 500 BUSHELS ON 4 ACRES J. M. ToLaney, Little Falls, W.

Showing also section and ends of ear, JOHNSON & STOKES’ NEW GIANT BEAUTY CORN In the new Giant Beauty we have a very valuable and long-sought-for variety, viz.: A very large ear and grain, yet a very early Yellow Dent Corn. Giant Beauty is a cross between Cloud’s Early Dent and Golden Beauty, possessing the earliness and deep grain of the former, with the handsome, deep yellow color and breadth of grain of the latter. It is absolutely the largest grained of all yellow corn. Itssmall red cob and great depth of grain are well shown in our photograph above, made from average ears. Its rich, deep golden color and fine quality of grain make it very superior for grinding into meal, and indicate its strong, nutritive qualities. It is a very vigorous grower, taking strong hold in the ground and averaging eight feet in height, producing two large ears, well filled to the extreme ends of the cob. The most perfect type of Yellow Field Corn ever introduced.

THE 100-DAY BRISTOL FIELD COKN When we first saw this corn growing in the field, with its enormous stalks and fodder, twice the height of an ordinary sized man, and its magnificent ears, averaging nearly a foot in length, as shown in Bim ot below, we were inclined to doubt its earliness. But after growing it ourselves and on the rms of hundreds of our customers, the past four seasons, we have found it cut and shocked mead for husking in ninety-five to one hundred days from the time the seed was planted. The grain is a light yellow; the cob is small considering the size of the ear. It will produce as much fodder and more corn than the famous Chester County Mammoth and other late varieties, which require three te four weeks longer to ripen. In fact, it is a perfect field corn in all respects. Prices: Pkt., 10c.; ar, 25c.; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c., postpaid, by mail.

SPRING RYE Distinct from the win- ter rye, grain of finer uality and more pro- uctive; can be success- fully grown in any lati- tude, and is now being largely sown in the Mid- dle States in place of oats, being a much more profitable crop, on ac- -count of the production of nearly four times the straw, and also as @ ‘“‘eatch’’ crop where winter grain has failed. fhe straw is equally as valuable as that of the fall or winter rye, stand- 4| ing stiff, 7 to 8 feet high. Produces 30 to 40 bushels of grain per acre. As it does not stool like win- ter rye, not less than two bushels to the acre should be sown.

Speltz, or Emmer (Triticum Speita) This grain has been grown for centuries in Russia, near the Caspian Sea. It was recently brought to this country by an emigrant, and has already attracted very wide attention on account of its successful cultivation in the Northwestern States. The grain is intermediate between wheat and barley, and is readily eaten by all kinds of stock. It is adapted for milling, as well as for feeaing, making a grade of flour similar to rye. The straw resembles wheat straw. It grows large crops—40 to 80 bushels per acre—on poor lands, stony ground and open prairies, and will give double the crop of oats or barley. It resists drought successfully, and is adapted to droughty sections and Northern latitudes. Drill at rate of 3 bushels per acre.

JOHNSON & STOKES, PHILADELPHIA 60 wo a ON S488 oa * oS. : 4 Golden leece Oats First Introduced by Us in 1901 Three years ago we secured from the originator in Genesee County, New York, his entire crop of seed of this valuable new oats and offered it for sale for the first time. Hundreds of customers have written us about its merits, and we regret we have not room to publish more of the hundreds of letters received from them. It is, without doubt, the heaviest cropping and handsomest oats ever introduced. One of the largest and most experi- enced oat growers in Chester County, Pa., says: “Tis wonderful productiveness is far beyond what the most enthusiastic farmers in this section ever expected to realize.’’ The field photograph herewith represents our crop while being harvested, and after thresh- ing and cleaning for seed the yield was 108 bushels per acre of large, plump, handsome, meaty, white grain, weighing 44 lbs. to the bushel. The yield of other varieties on neighboring farms was from 35 to 50 bushels per acre, or less than one-half that of the GOLDEN FLEECE. This can be partly attributed to the fact that in many cases the spikes or breast will contain three full kernels where other oats give but two. The straw is very strong and does not lodge even when others with less weight of grain in the head go down. The blade is nearly double the size of that of ordinary oats, which is the best evidence of its inherent vigor. This new oats is remarkable for its heavy stooling property, and for this reason 6 pecks (14 bushels) is sufficient to seed an acre. Prices: Lb., 35c.; 3 lbs. for $1.00, by mail, postage paid. By freight or express: Per peck, 65c.; per legal bush. (of 32 lbs.), $1.75; sack of 3 legal bush. (96 lbs.) for $5.00; 10 bush. and over, $1.50 per bush., sacks included. What Others Write of Golden Fleece Oats SECTION OF OUR FIELD OF GOLDEN FLEECE OATS. Never Saw Anything Like Them C. E. BRADLEY, Patten, Mo., November 6, 1903, writes: “T never saw anything like the Golden Fleece. I counted 17 different shoots with full heads of grain from one seed sown, and 4 bushels sown harvested over 200 bushels.’ 20 Bushels More per Acre D. L. McCown, Mount Air, Pa., October 24, writes: “Your new Golden Fleece Oats have yielded 20 bushels more per acre than the common White Oats sowed beside them.”’ 47 Bushels from 20 Quarts ARTHUR C. VAN Horn, Groton, N. Y., August 17, writes: ‘‘I planted last spring 20 quarts of the Golden Fleece, which yielded me 47 bushels of plump, heavy grain of very finest quality.” They Meet with Ready Sale Cuas. C. Horton, East Troy, Pa., September 20, writes: “Your Golden Fleece Oats are the finest. I could have sold at high prices 200 bushels to those who saw them grow, but I had none to spare.”’ Over 150 Bushels from 3 Bushels — F. B. Roruruss, Blissfield, Mich., September 18, writes: ““From the 3 bushels of Golden Fleece Oats sown I threshed over 150 bushels; they are of the finest ever seen here.’’ Best in 30 Years’ Experience O. W. Wison, Spencer, Mass., October 14, 1903, writes: “Golden Fleece produced the best crop of oats that I have ever raised in 30 years’ experience or have ever seen in this.

SELECTED FARM SEEDS é w 62 THE FARMER IS THE REAL CAPITALIST—A BRIGHT OUTLOOK The farmer is the real capitalist and aristocrat. He has brought out of the earth this year enough to buy a large majority of the big corporations of the country. The corn crop would buy, at present quotations (December 15, 1903), all the stocks and bonds of the United States Steel Corporation, and have 200 millions left over with which to buy. the independent companies. The hay crop is worth 560 million dollars, or more than the present market value of a controlling interest in all the stock of the Pennsylvania, New York Central, Eris, Baltimore & Ohio, Atchison and Union Pacific Railroad Companies. combined, and is likewise worth as much as the net earnings of all the railways of the United States in 1902. It is estimated that the aggregate value of our crops in 1903 is close to 5,000 million dollars, which would buy at par the total eapital stocks of 80 per cent. of all the railroads of the country. Now, with such a tremendous accretion of real national wealth, and the prosperity which it indicates to the great agricultural and the transportation industries, how can one be a ‘‘ bear”? upon the country or anticipate commercial disaster? While some of the so-called great financiers of the large cities have been facing bad times for the past year, the farmers with their fields in the East, their prairies in the great West and their cotton plantations in the South, are filled with invigorating cheerfulness and can see only clear skies ahead. Thank God that we live in the greatest and most resourceful country of the globe ! VELVET BEAN (The Great Nitrogen Gatherer) A Worthy Rival of the Cow Pea This new and important forage plant from India is cre- ating a great sensation throughout the Middle and Southern States, where it is supplanting the cow pea for cattle food and as asoil renovator. Since ourintroduction of it four years since, it has been grown in many of the far Northern States with great success and is worthy of a trial everywhere. Its nitrogen-gathering properties are said to surpass those of the cow pea. It is the rankest grower of any of the legumes; two or three seeds planted four feet apart in rows five feet apart will literally cover the ground two to three feet thick with a mass of foliage and vines 20 to 25 feet long, no matter how poor the soil. It leayesa mulch on the ground that is very beneficial to the soil. Dr. Stubbs, Director of the Southern State Experiment Sta- tion, says: ‘‘I believe that it can be cut advantageously almost any time from June to October, and cured in less time than cow pea hay, because the stems are smaller. It makes an excellent hay and stock eat it well. A heavy nitrogen gatherer, and the tubercles on its roots are the largest of any plane I have observed; corn-like clusters of tubercles have een collected, that make a mass, from one single growth, almost as large asa common hen’s egg. The vines of this pent are now about 30 feet in length, from seeds planted in fay.’ The cultivation is the same as for cow peas. Prices; ra 10c.; lb., 25¢.; 3 lbs. for 60c., by mail, postpaid ; by Teight, qt., 20c.; peck, 90c.; bush. of 60 lbs., $3.50. SOJA BEAN—Late Variety The demand for the SOJA or JAPANESE SOY BEANS has grown remarkably of late years. Their great value is as a forage crop and for fertilizing thesoil and for pas- turing or feeding the green fodder much in the same way as the cow pea. This late variety is very valuable south of the Potomac and Ohio Rivers. Sow broadcast one-half bushel to the acre, or it may be planted in drills three feet apart and one foot between plants. Pkt., 10c.; 1b., 25c.; 3 Ibs., 60c., postpaid ; by freight or express, qt., 20c.; peck, 60c.; bush., $2.00; 5 bush. and over, $1.75 per bush. SOJA BEAN—New Early Variety The ordinary or late soja bean, described above, while valuable south of the Potomac and Ohio Rivers, is. too late to be of valuein the far Northern States. This variety ripensin all the Northern States, where it has been grown over four feet in height, heavily podded with seed and yielded over ten tons peracre. Itis @ valuable fodder variety either for feeding green or for the silo. Being a rich nitrogenous feed, it is unsurpassed as a flesh-former, and, like the clovers, is a soil-improver, deriving its nitrogen from the air. All who are interested in this class of plants should give our New Early Soja or Soy Bean a trial. Choice seed grown for us in Michigan.

CANADA FIELD PEAS AND OATS FOR FODDER For Dairy Cows and Hogs, Equal to Corn, and Six Weeks Enrlier. These make a fodder and hay which in every case doubles the production of milk. The Canada Field Pea, ‘which we sell at $1.75 per bushel, is the best for this purpose. They should be sown in March or early April, two bushels of peas and two bushels of oats to theacre. The peas should be sown first and plowed under about four inches deep; the oats then sown and harrowed in. They will be ready for cutting about the latter end of June, when the oats are in milk and the pods formed on the peas. Farmers who have never sown this crop will be surprised at its large yield. It is @ nutritious food and relished by all kinds of farm animals. This crop also makes an excellent soil-improver when turned under like cow peasas described above. Since we first called attention to the great value of Canada Field Peas for this purpose, some years ago, the demand has become so great that we are now haying them grown by the carload in Canada and can always quote LOW PRICES BY LETTER when wanted in lots of 10 bushels and wpwards. PEAS For Fodder and Plowing Under ‘Peas could be made to bring more nitrogen to the soils of this country every year than is now pur- chased annually by the farmers at a cost of millions of dollars.”—U. S. Department of Agricuiture. FIELD OF SOUTHERN BLACK OR RAM’S HORN COW PEAS IN THE NORTH. SOWN JUNE 16th, PLOWED UNDER aUGUST 31st. COW PEAS (The Great Soil Improver) Make Poor Land Rich. Make Good Land More Pro- ductive. Enriching the Soil Even When the Crop is Cut Off, Green crops plowed under are one of the best and cheap- est ways of improving the soil. For this purpose the cow pea is most popular, especially for medium or light soil. They should be sown in May or June, at the rate of 144 bushels to the acre, and plowed under as soon as they have attained their full growth. While this crop is very largely grown wherever known, with the results attained from it the wonder is, that it is not grown ten times as much as at. present. There is no surer or cheaper means of improving poor soil than by sowing cow peas. In its capacily as a nitrogen gatherer its growth largely enables the farmer to dispense with the use of nitrogen or ammoniated fertilizers. Nitrogen or ammonia in commercial fertilizers is valued at fifteen cents per pound. The cow pea, to a greater extent than any other leguminous crop, with possibly the exception of the New Velvet Bean, described alongside, has the power to extract this costly nitrogen or ammonia from the atmosphere. COW PEAS FOR HAY If planted early, say by middle of May,in the central corn belt section, a crop can be cut and cured for hay the same as clover, then the stubble in a short time will put out a new growth to be turned under in the fall as a fertilizer. The best varieties for all purposes are the following: PRICES variable with the market. PER BUSH.

SAND, or WINTER VETCH (Vicia Villosa) Vicia Villosa succeeds and produces good crops on poor sandy soils as well as on good land; grows toa height of four to five feet. It is perfectly hardy throughout the United States, remaining green all winter, and should be sownin the spring, mixed with oats, spring rye or barley; or during August and September with winter rye, which serves as a support for the plants. It is the earliest crop for cutting, being hardier and nearly a month earlier than Scarlet Clover, and a full crop can be taken off the land in time for planting spring crops. Every dairyman and stock-breeder in the United States should havea field of it, and if you try it once you will never bea season without it. Itis exceed- ingly nutritious, eaten with relish, and may be fed with safety to all kinds of stock. Sow 50 to 60 lbs. per acre with one-half bushel of rye, oats or barley.

KAFFIR CORN—The Great Forage Plant Will make a fine crop of forage if cut in early bloom, and the shoots that then follow will mature a full crop of seed and forage. Both grain and fodder are excellent, the whole stalk tender to the full maturity of seed. There is no failure about it, as it possesses the quality that all the tribe possess, of waiting for rain without any loss of capacity to yield. The grain is extremely valuable for feeding to poultry and will make a flour that is like wheat. Cultivated the same as our common Indian corn, requiring four to five pounds of seed per acre.

TRUE DWARF ESSEX RAPE Dwarf Essex Rape, of the True Biennial Variety, is now largely grown in this country on account ofits rapid growth, being ready to feed in eight to ten weeks from sow- ing, and producing twenty-five to thirty tons of green forage to the acre. It grows to a height of three feet and covers the surface so densely as to smother out all weeds. It can be sown all through the season, being perfectly hardy, with- stands drought, and will produce a cropin any soil by sow- ing broadcast at the rate of five to ten pounds to the acre, While unequaled as a pasture for sheep, as a food for all cattle, calves or pigs, it is without a rival, its fattening properties being twice as great as clover, making a much relished and most succulent food from May to December.

It may be made to furnish the principal food for eattle, horses and mules from August until the following spring. When fed down young as a pasture it grows Tapidly again. It also withstands severe drought with the best of this class of plants. As afodderand for win- ter feed it is one of the most economical. The Early Amber is the best for fodder as well as for sugar, as it ma- tures quickly, and has been cultivated as far North as St. Paul, Minn. The seed is valuable also as food for horses and cattle, and jis greedily eaten by poultry, increasing the egg-production.

Weber’s Improved Evergreen THE BEST BROOM CORN IN CULTIVATION The high prices which have prevailed the past three years for broom corn brush indicate that the demand has overtaken the supply, and farmers, where possible, should add it to their crops. The most important question is the securing the best variety and good seed. Weber’s Improved Evergreen is the best and purest in cultivation, originated and selected by Mr. Geo. Weber, one of the largest growers of Montgomery County, Pa., who has for many years had the reputation of having the best in the State, having made his stock famous by selection and improvement for length, strength and straightness of brush. It is of a very bright green color without the slightest reddish tinge. It makes by far the best brooms of any corn grown and commands the very highest prices. Oustomers who have grown this corn report yields of over 1,000 lbs. of brush to the acre. Height, 7 to 8 feet. Lhb., 35c.; 3 lbs., 75c., postpaid; qt., 25ce.; peck, 90c.; bush., $8.00; sack of 2 bush. for $5.50. Evergreen Broom Corn The old standard variety largely grown in many sections of the West, but is not equal to oras salable as the brush of the Weber’s Improved. Qt., 20c.; peck, 75c.; bush., $2.50. Wild Rice (Zizania Aquatica) A native plant, furnishing food for wild fowl, ducks, geese, etc., also valuable as a forage plant for swamps and inundated lands, as it grows rapidly, and all stock are fond of it when green or cured for fodder. It attracts all wild birds from September on, and also purifies the water and affords a refuge for the small fry from the large fish. To sow :—‘‘ Put the seed in coarse linen or cotton bags, and sink in water for 24 hours. Sow in water which is from 6 inches to 5 feet deep, in soft mud bottom, and in places where there are but few weeds. It is useless sowing this seed except on a mud bottom, or on low marshy places which are covered with water the year round. In running water sow as much out of the current as possible.” Lb., 35c.; 3 lbs., $1.00, post- paid; by express, Ib., 25c.; 10 lbs. and over, 20e. per lb. Jerusalem Artichoke Roots This variety is not produced from seed. They are some- times used as a table vegetable when pickled, but their greatest value is for feeding stock. They are the best hog food known. They are remarkable for their fattening ~rop- erties, great productiveness (over one thousand bushels hav- ing been grown on one acre) and ease with which ‘hey can be grown. They need not be dug; the hogs should be turned in on them, and will help themselves by rooting. One acre will keep from twenty to thirty hogs in fine condi- tion from October until April, except when the ground is frozen too hard for them to root. Thev are also said to bea preventive of cholera and other hog diseases, and they are also highly recommended for milch cows, increasing the yield of milk and at the same time improving their condi- tion. Three bushels will seed an acre. They should be cut the same as potatoes, one eye to a cut being sufficient, planted in April or May, in rows three feet apart and two feet in the rows, and covered about two inches deep. They can be shipped at any time during the season, as they are not injured by freezing. Lb., 35c¢.; 3 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. By freight or express, peck, $1.00; bush., $3.00; bbl. of 3 bush.

The nuts grow under ground, very near the surface, easily reached by pigs or poultry. Plant in April, ten to twelve inches apart in three- foot rows. Cover lightly. If the seed is very dry, soak well before planting, to secure a good stand. They mature early in September, and lie in the ground till wanted. One peck of seed to the acre.

HUNGARIAN BROME-GRASS (Bromus Inermis)- This great drought-defying, frost-resisting grass is now at- tracting much attention in the United States.

It can be multiplied rapidly by simple division, and it is not particular as to soil, and it blooms for several months.

Poultrymen must feed more or less meat scraps in winter to make hens lay; this is generally acknowledged. BLoop MEaL is merely a meat in a highly concentrated form, rich in albuminoids and ash, both of which enter largely into the composition of the egg. As to the advantages gained by feeding BLoop MEar, to young chicks, ducks, and turkeys, we can say that there is positively nothing better for them. Those raising chicks hatched in incubators tell us that the loss from weakness, or ‘‘ breaking down,’’ as they term it, is enormous.

The first food should be Chick Manna and a little grit. Feed this for a week or ten days, and then begin with our ‘‘Vigor’’ Chick Food, and they will grow and feather 2 ‘like a green bay tree.” For the SINGING CHICK MANNA’S PRAISES first week feed five times a day; second week, four times a day; and after that three times a day will do. Never feed what they will eat without moving out of their tracks ; you must make them scratch for what they eat, and keep them hungry enough so that they will enjoy their feed. Give them water only after feeding them. F. P. Cc. CHICK MANNA A Health Food for Little Chicks Chick Manna is a health food for little chicks, and with it you can raise every chick hatched. It promotes Health, Quick Growth, and Strong Development. Especially valuable for raising chicks in winter andearlyspring. Chick Manna should be the first food, and exclusively fed for ten days or more, after which time other food may be given, but should contain a portion of Manna for at least a few dayslonger.

CYPHERS CHICK FOOD A Complete Food for Young Chicks Cyphers Chick Food is a mixture of eleven (11) different grains and seeds, proportioned so as to meet all the needs of growing chicks, and to fully nourish them. By the term ‘‘fully nourished’’ we mean a great deal. Chick foods, asa rule, contain too much fat-forming, and not enough bone-forming elements; and, in consequence, the chick develops indiges- tion and diarrhcea—which ultimately means no digestion at all—and quickly starves to death. Or, if partially nourished, leg weakness develops, and the chick drags out a miserable existence for a greater or lesser length of time. If you feed Cyphers Chick Food, you are relieved of all con- cern, as the food is a complete and properly-balanced food, ready for use. In compounding Cyphers Chick Food, the protein, or flesh-and tmuscle-forming element, is maintained higher, the carbohydrate, or fat- forming element, is reduced to its proper proportion, and the ash, or min-_ . eral elements are in sufficient amount to supply the needs of the rapidly- | growing bird. If chicks are to be developed into breeders, no other food is required for the first eight weeks. For the first three or four days spread the food on a board or bare floor four or five times a day. Assoon as the chick begins to eat rapidly and scratch for food, scatter it in chaff or cut hay several times each day in sufficient amount to keep the chicks continually working. It should not be fed in anyother manner. A dish of fresh water is kept before them atalltimes. About the fifth week a dish of High Protein Beef Sérap is put before them, and is replen- ished as fast as eaten. Continue feeding chick food until the eighth or ninth week. The chickens are then placed in colony houses on grass runs, and given a dish of cracked corn and one of beef scrap. Before the chickens are let out in the morning, a mash composed of Cyphers Forcing Food is fed. This is the only food they get through the day, except the cracked corn and beef scrap. A dish of fresh water is kept before them. On the above ration they make a quick, strong growth and mature early. For broilers or roasters, the chick food and beef scrap are supplemented by adding Cyphers Forcing Food to the diet after the third or fourth week. Put up only in sealed bags, bearing manufacturer’s trade mark.

Its value has long been recognized by poultrymen, as it furnishes protein, lime, and other material salts in an easily-digested form. Fowls relish it greatly in either dry or green form. ; Clover is the best green food for winter use, as there is no waste, as in vegetables, and it is in a form to be fed with a very small amount of labor. Feeding clover will insure a large percentage of fertile eggs and strong germs. It will do much to keep laying fowls and breeding stock in good health and vigor, adds luster to the plumage, and thus assists in putting choice birds in exhibition condition. These clover products are put up in strong 50 and r1oo-lb. sealed bags, bearing the Cyphers registered trade mark, and labeled to comply with the various State food laws.

It is well known that the feathered tribe have no teeth and that the food is masticated in the gizzard; but the gizzard itself is a feeble agent, and cannot perform its functions without the aid of some substance that is hard and sharp. Nature, therefore, prompts the hens to pick up and swallow gravel, glass, small shells, and other substances; but it may be noticed that they prefer such as are sharp and irregular. Round bits of gravel do not serve the purpose, though better than nothing, and the gizzard is not injured, no matter if the sharpest and keenest glass be swallowed. The food and hard substances are kept in constant motion while in the gizzard, and the entire contents are ground into an impalpable powder and passed into the stomach. Common sense, therefore, teaches us, and all authorities on poultry unite in the statement, that something of this kind is absolutely essential to the good health and egg producing qualities of the fowl. In summer, when the birds have farm range, they can look out for themselves in this respect; but where they have to be confined, or in winter when everything is frozen up tight or covered with snow, this necessary grit must be supplied to them freely or they will languish for its want. SOFT SEA SHELLS LARGELY USED ON DUCK RANCHES CRUSHED OYSTER SHELL This is a most im- portant article for the poultry yard through the winter, and should be liber- ally supplied to the fowls.
