TO OUR CUSTOMERS
N presenting our 39th Annual Catalogue, we take the oppor- % tunity to thank our many thousands of customers for the very liberal support they have given us in the past years. Our busi- ness increases wonderfully as the years go by, and in antici- fe98° pation of the coming season’s increase, we have made such qr modifications in our methods of handling orders as we believe will Wy enable us to get them out with the greatest possible dispatch. It #2” should be borne in mind, however, that in the rush of the season, in order to give the same treatment to all, we must fill orders strictly in rotation as received, we would therefore impress on Customers the desirability of Ordering Early. Our prices are as low as we can consistently make them and give Seeds of High Grade, the cost of the seed is so trifling, compared with the returns from a good crop, that the intending planter should not hesitate about getting the best. ‘Cheap Seeds,’”’ are not cheap when it comes harvest time, and a poor and inferior crop is the only reward for time and labor ex- pended. We have received so many unsolicited testimonials as to the superi- ority of the products of our seeds, that we feel warranted in using the mott ““Germain’s Tested Seeds are the Best by Every Test.”’ |
We wish to draw attention to our list of Specialties, and they are special- ties rather than novelties, the practical farmer and gardener has not the time to give to novelties. In this list, we have noted Standard Varieties, well and favorably known, but our general list includes many others of high merit. We have also added somewhat to the information given in the tables on planting, etc., and ina general way endeavored to make this a better catalogue than any we have issued before.
We will consider it a favor if our customers will give us the name of a friend who has use for a catalogue, or send us a postal card request for one.
Assuring you of our best attention to all orders, we are, Yours very truly,
GERMAIN SEED & PLANT CO.

POLE OR RUNNING BAENS
Asparagus,or Yard Long. A pole bean producing great clusters
of enormously long thin pods (from 20 to 30 inches in length) very tender and delicate in flavor. No trouble to pick a cooking of these excellent pods. Well worth trying either for home or market use. See cut. Pkt. 25 ets.
Kentucky Wonder, or Old Homestead. A vigorous grower, wonderfully productive. The pods, which hang in great clusters, are very long, tender, and of the finest flavor. One of the best pole beansin cultivation. Lb. 15 ets., 10 Ibs. $1.25; 100 Ibs. $10.00.

Germain’s Long Blood. A splendid variety of fine flavor and of long, symmetrical shape. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts.,
oe CABBAGE
Early Winnigstadt. One of the best varieties for growing and shipping to home and eastern markets, being hardy and sure to head. Its compact and upright habit of growth and short, thick leaf, seem to serve as a barrier against disease and the ravages of insects. Growers practically exclude all other varietiesinitsfavor. Heads regular, coni- cal, very hard and of good size. Fine texture and sweet. The seed we offer is first-class; no better at any price. Pkt. 5 ets., oz. 20 ets., lb. $1.75.
Danish Ball Head, or Holland. The hardiest round-headed variety in cultivation. The best for winter keeping. Pkt. 5 ets., oz. 15 cts., lb. $2.
ASPARAGUS OR YARD LONG BEAN
CAULIFLOWER
Germain’s Dry Weather Cauliflower. Admirably adapted for the arid regions of California and Arizona, in that it resists drought and excessive’ warm weather and matures a crop when other varieties fail. The heads are as large as Snow- ball and almost as early; solid, pure white and of excellent quality. Pkt. 25 cts., oz. $8, lb.
CARROTS
Oxheart, or Guerande. This fine and very popular carrot is intermediate as to length between the ; half-long varieties (such as Danvers) and the Searlet Horn carrot, but much thicker than the latter, being at the top from four to five inches in diameter. Flesh bright orange, fine-grained and sweet. It is a very fine quality for table use and equally good for stock. Oxheart can be easily pulled, making it a particularly desirable sort for planting in stiff clay soils. Pkt. 5 ets., oz. 10 cts., lb. 75 cts. Early Chantenay. This is the best early carrot grown, one which market gardeners should plant. The car- rots grow about six inches long, stump rooted, smooth, deep red, fine grained and sugary, and not apt to crack open while growing. An excellent table sort and a heavy cropper. Pkt. 5 cets., oz. 10 ets‘, lb. 75 ets.
CELERY
Golden Self Blanching French Stock. The favorite and most popular celery on the market, east or west. A few years ago we were fortunate enough to obtain a limited quantity from the originator, which when tested, proved to be su- perior to anything we had ever seen. Samples given to market gardeners for trial proved so satisfactory that now it is hardly possible to supply their demand; in fact it has: superseded all other varieties, which should be sufficient: to recommend it to the most skeptical. Owing to unfay- orable conditions the French Crop of Golden Self Blanch- ing Celery seed is extremely scarce this season conse- quently prices are higher than formerly. Our prices for this season are Pkt. 25 ets., oz. 75 cts., lb. $7.50.
CORN--Sweet or Sugar
Early Golden Bantam. The earliest and hardiest sweet corm erown and of delicious flavor. Being of dwarf habit it can be grown closer together than the large stalked varie-

variety. Pkt. 5 ets., lb. 20 ets.
Oregon Evergreen. A large, early corn, covered thickly with a tough husk which prevents the ravages of worms so fatal to corn in Southern California; also keeps the ear fresh for a long time. Market gardeners will scarcely erow anything else. The ears are well filled to the tip with choice deep grains of delicious flavor. Lb. 20 cts., 10 Ib. $1.50, 100 Ibs. $12.00.
Klondike. A splendid new variety related to the White | Spine family, which it excels in shape and shipping qual- ities, being very early and of a fine dark color. Growers who cater to early markets will find this variety exceed- ingly profitable. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 ets., lb. $1.50.
Improved Arlington White Spine. This is by far the best of all the strains of White Spine. The vine is vigorous and the fruit, which is large and symmetrical, is borne in pro-

LETTUCE
New York, The favorite for the Los Angeles market. Produces large, early heads of excellent flavor. The outer leaves are green, while the inner is a beautiful, creamy white. The plant is of robust growth, and to get the best results should be sown in the cooler months, as it sometimes fails to head in the hot weather. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 ets., Ib. $1.25.
J The outside leaves are of a med- lum green color, slightly marked with brown spots, while within the leaves are of a rich, creamy yellow; stands the summer heat well, as it grows slowly and forms a very hard head. It remains fit for use a long time. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., lb. 80 ets.

MELONS |
MUSKMELONS
Burrell’s Thoroughbred Rockyford Cantaloupe. This is with- out doubt the finest strain of Rockyford on the market.

GENERAL LIST
1910 VEGETABLE SEED DEPARTMENT
The foundation for a good crop is laid by the planting of good seed, without which the time and labor of the planter is lost. Growers should remember this when ordering seeds and bear in mind that the difference in cost between good seed and that which is not so good, is trifling when compared with the results expected. The raising and harvesting of seed of First Quality involves a vast amount of experience and labor and we feel that our FORTY YEARS of experience in this line warrants us in saying that the seeds we here offer are second to none of any sold the world over and the numerous unsolicited testimonials we have received
prove it.

Cultivated extensively for stock. Farmers and dairymen should not fail to plant a few acres of these valuable root crops either for their milch cows or fat stock. Select a deep, rich loam and manure well. Sow any time from the middle of November until April, in drills 23 to 3 feet apart, and thin to 12 inches in the row. The long varieties prefer a light, sandy loam. The round varieties are best for planting on stiff soil. Sow 8 pounds to the acre.

The cabbage seed we offer is strictly first-class, none better, and our sales are in- creasing annually; we would especially call the attention of our patrons to our superb | strain of Winnigstadt, the leading variety grown in this section. Growers are alive to the fact that quality in cabbage seed is of the utmost importance, as no satisfactory
/results can possibly be obtained when poor seed is planted.
Commence tosow the seed of the early varieties in August and each month following, until spring, for succession. Transplant as soon as large enough, to fresh, rich soil, in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches apart in the rows. In planting cabbage or cauli- flower, care should be observed that the stem is set under ground as far as the first leaf. The ground should be well worked to produce good heads, and hoed as many as three times during the season, drawing the earth slightly about the stems. -One ounce will produce 2,000 plants.

The carrot is one of the most wholesome and nutritious of our garden roots deserving to be more extensively used for culinary purposes and we urge our readers to give some
|of the early table sorts a trial. For feeding stock, especially horses and milch cows, |the earrot cannot be surpassed and it should be more largely grown by farmers for
this purpose. Like other root crops, it flourishes best in a well-enriched sandy soil, deeply tilled, and if plowed the fall before, all the better. Sow in early spring in drills 15 to 18 inches apart, finally thinning plants to 3 or 4 inches. One ounce of seed will sow about 150 feet of row. Four pounds to the acre.

Select fine, light soil and manure heavily with the oldest and strongest compost that can be procured. Plow to a depth of 5 inches, and work well with the cultivator. Plow again at right angles with the first furrows, and again thoroughly cultivate. The ground will then be in fine working order, and should be leveled smoothly with a rake. Drill 14 inches apart, sowing the seed thinly; cover a quarter of an inch deep with fine soil and press down with the back of a spade or light roller. When the young plants are strong enough, thin gradually so that they stand finally 4 inches apart. Keep clean from weeds and take care that the earth does not accumulate around the bulbs, but allow them to bottom above the ground. When the greenness has left the tops of the onions, pull them and let them dry a few days before storing. One ounce of seed
will sow about 100 feet of drill. Four pounds to the acre. B: B 7

POTATOES
CULTURE.—The soil best suited to the Potato is a rich, sandy loam, but it seems to thrive in almost any soil or climate. The Potato, being a gross feeder, requires a lib- eral application of manure; if stable manure is to be used, it should be well rotted, and not allowed to come in contact with the tubers On no other crop are the results from the use of the phosphates so manifest as on the Potato; almost invariably the tubers are smoother, brighter and freer from rust and the destructive influence of wire worms. The best fertilizers are super-phosphate of lime and bone-dust. Plant in rows 3 feet apart and 1 foot in the rows; covering about 4 inches; draw the earth to the plants as they advance in growth.

TOMATOES
Gitomate Liebesapfel Tomate
Sow the seed in frame or sheltered bed. When the plants are 2 or 3 inches high, thin them out and set them in pots or in another bed, to give them room and make them “stocky.”” When 5 or 6 inches high, if the weather be warm and settled, transplant them to open ground, selecting a rainy day if possible; in the absence of rain, water and protect till well rooted. Set plants 4 feet apart each way; support by driving two or three stakes around each plant and encircle with as many barrel hoops; this will
| serve to keep the fruit off the ground. One ounce of seed will produce 3000 plants. | The tomato requires a rather light soil to ripen early, but if handsome fruit and a plen- | tiful crop be desired, very rich soil should be selected.

For early crops sow the Early White Flat Dutch or Munich during the winter; and for summer crops sow any of the other varieties at intervals of a fortnight until June, in drills 12 inches apart; cover the seed lightly unless the season be very dry; thin out the plants to 6 or 8 inches apart. For fall or winter use, sow the Golden Ball or Purple- ‘Top Strap-leaf. Success in raising turnips depends greatly on the selection of soil, and its subsequent preparation, as well as the quality of the seed.

SEEDS FOR COVER CROPS
___The importance of a Cover Crop as a cheap and beneficial way of getting humus and Nitrogen into’ the soil is yearly becoming more impressed upon the fruit growers of \California. We can supply any of the following legumes and will be pleased to quote \prices on large quantities.
Double your crops of the above legumes by inoculating before planting with Nitro- igen Culture, the greatest agricultural discovery of the century, recommended by the ‘United States Department of Agriculture and agricultural experts throughout the world. (See page 29 for full particulars and prices. ) Do not fail to give it a trial.
VETCHES
PRICES 1 lb. 10 lb. 100 Ib.
Spring Vetches, or Tares. Growing into favor more and more each year for plowing under. They have the advantage over peas in that they make a greater growth of vine, while as the seed is much smaller in proportion to peas, a smaller quantity is re- quired to plant an acre. They are valuable also as a green food
for milech cows. Sow 50 pounds to the acre................ $.10 $.80 Vetch, Sand or Winter (Vicia villosa). A valuable forage plant from Europe, and now in great demand here. It will thrive on the most barren soils and produce two cuttings during the season; also valuable for plowing in as a green manure. It may be sown alone or together with rye. The latter method is preferable; as the vetches grow from 3} to 5 feet, the rye will afford support
for them. Sow from 25 to 30 lbs. to the acre............... lbp 1.25

3 NITROGEN CULTURE
The germs have been discovered, and are to be had in unlimited quantity, that enable leguminous plants to collect nitrogen from the air and give it to the earth, thereby replenishing poor and ex- hausted land with a copious supply of nitrogen, and also making good soil more productive. Does away with artificial manure; saves time and labor; is convenient to handle, effective in results, and at the minimum of cost. Don’t fail to try it and be convinced.

In the first place, see that the ground is well prepared. Dig or plow the ground to the depth of 8 inches. Afterwards harrow or rake carefully and remove all large stones. If the soil is shallow, procure a supply of fine mold and spread over the surface to a depth of 5 inches. Soil may be enriched by bone meal or well-rotted manure wherever necessary, then rake level and roll the soil well to make a solid bottom. Scat- ter the seed evenly over the surface at the rate of 150 pounds to the acre (for Blue Grass) 1 pound to 16 feet square. Rake seed in and roll, water regularly and carefully, as the soil is liable to dry out in the heat of the day, and if it does while the seed is germinating it will invariably perish. When the grass is 3 inches high it should be cut and rolled, and every week or so thereafter until the grass has become firm. Eradi- cate weeds whenever they appear, without disturbing the grass. Should bare spots appear, rake the surface and sow more seed. The roller should be used frequently during the season, and a dressing of lawn fertilizer once a year is neces- sary to the maintenance of a good lawn.

FLOWER AND VEGETABLE GARDEN
A Concise Calendar of Operations Throughout the Year Especially Adapted for Southern California.
JANUARY
Flower Garden.—Continue to plant lilies. All kinds of evergreen and deciduous shrubs can now be planted. The planting of hyacinths, tulips, narcissi, ete., should be com- pleted this month. Hardy annuals may be sown out of doors, and, where artificial heat is obtainable, half-hardy annuals may be sown. A hotbed of stable manure is easily prepared by piling it 4 or 5 feet in height, well watered and trampled down, over which place a large box or frame, with glass sash, taking care to air and sweeten the bed well before using.
Vegetable GardenFor main crop sow broccoli, carrot, chicory and parsnip. At the end of the month, in warm, sheltered situations, Early Rose potatoes may be planted. Plant asparagus, horseradish and rhubarb roots. These all require deeply worked ground. Dress beds already planted with about 3 inches of well-rotted manure. Cucumbers, eggplant. melons, peppers, squashes and tomatoes may be sown under glass for after planting. A safe plan is to sow about 5 seeds of each variety on reversed pieces of sod, about 4 inches square. On planting in the ground, insert the sod with the growing plants and firm the soil in the usual way. By this method the growing plants will suffer no injury. Stick and hill up peas and other erops requiring it, and attend strictly to cleanliness.
FEBRUARY.
Flower Garden.—General planting of evergreens and shrubs should be completed as soon as possible. Also finish plant- ing lilies, anemones and ranunculi. Commence planting gladiola bulbs for succession. Sow hardy annuals out-of- doors, especially sweet peas, and half-hardy annuals as recom- mended for last month. This is the best month in which to sow acacia seeds. Soak for 24 hours before sowing, or, where practicable, spread dry leaves or bushes over the beds after
. Sowing and watering and set fire to them, This is the best manner of sowing al! hard tree seeds,
Vegetable Garden.—This and the next month will be the
- busiest of the year in this department, as nearly all crops may be sown in these two months. (See reference table for varieties to be sown). Continue planting asparagus and other roots as recommended for last month. Plant main crop of potatoes. Attend to weeding and hilling up. Thin out tur- nips, carrots and other root crops requiring it.
MARCH
Flower Garden.—Continue planting gladioh bulbs for suc- cession. All hardy and half-hardy annuals may be sown in the open ground this month. Alternanthera and other bor- der plants can be planted with safety, as all danger from even slight frost is now over.
Vegetable Garden.—Nearly all vegetable seeds may be freely sown this month. (See reference table.) Plant out cucum- bers, melons and other plants previously sown under glass. Hill up rows, keep down insects, slugs and vermin, and attend strictly to cleanliness. :
APRIL
Flower Garden.—Plant dahlias, gladioli, tube-roses, tig- ridias, tuberous begonias and all summer-flowering bulbs. Continue sowing hardy and half-hardy annuals. Watch rose-bushes, and if troubled with green aphis, use tobacco dust freely.
Vegetable Garden.—(See reference table for varieties to be sown.) Plant out eggplant, pepper, tomato and sweet po- tato plants, the latter in light, rich soil, well worked, in rows 6 feet apart, and 2 feet in the rows, and keep the soil well worked. Cultivate well and hill up as required.
MAY
Flower Garden.—As hyacinths, tulips, narcissi, etc., die down, the bulbs should be dug up and stored away in a cool, dry place till fall, when they may be replanted. The va- cancies thus created should be filled with other flowering plants. Half-hardy and other annuals may still be sown, and sum- mer-flowering bulbs be planted. ‘The garden should now be
[32]
brilliant with flowers, and all sowing, planting and general cleaning up should be completed this month, ready for the summer season.
Vegetable Garden.—Pinch out points of shoots of cucumbers, melons, squash, etc., as soon as they commence flowering. Sow vegetable seeds for succession (see rereence table), and keep surface of soil well broken.
JUNE
Flower Garden.—Trim edgings of borders and hedges, and carefully attend to watering. Dahlias and gladioli may still be planted. Sow eucalyptus and cypress seeds for winter planting.
Vegetable Garden.—(See reference table for varieties that may be sown for succession.) Hill up all growing crops and stick pole beans and tall peas as required.
JULY
Flower Garden.—Continue to dig up and store bulbs as they ripen. Trim edging and hedge-rows and sow perennial flower seeds in shady situations. Continue sowing eucalyptus and cypress seeds. ;
- Vegetable Garden.—Cultivate well between the rows. Sow vegetable seeds for succession, as per reference table. If manure is used during this hot month, it should be in liquid
form. AUGUST
Flower Garden.—This is the best month in the year in which to sow hardy perennials. Most varieties if sown this month will flower the next year. (See remarks on culture in body of list.) Also sow calceolaria, cineraria, pansy and primula seeds. (See special remarks on culture of tender annuals.) Continue sowing eucalyptus and cypress seeds.
Vegetable Garden.—Plant second crop of potatoes. Sow cabbage, cauliflower and spinach for main crops, and others mentioned in reference table for succession.
SEPTEMBER
Flower Garden.—Commence planting hyacinths, tulips, anemones and other Dutch bulbs toward the end of the month. Prick off calceolarias, cinerarias and primulas sown last month, into small pots, and continue sowing same for | | succession. Pansies can be grown better transplanted into a well-manured bed than in pots, as they are not so liable to be attacked by the red spider. Pansy seed may be sown for | succession until the end of November. Also sow all the | hardy annuals and perennials. |
Vegetable Garden.—Many varieties of vegetable seeds may be sown this month. (See reference table.) Plant out cab- bage and cauliflower plants sown in July.
OCTOBER
Flower Garden.—Hyacinths and other Dutch bulbs should be planted freely this month; also early lilies. Cineraria and primula seed may still be sown for late flowering. Continue sowing hardy annuals.
Vegetable Garden.—Sow largely peas, onions and spinach for main crop; also other seeds for succession, (see reference table), especially winter radishes.
NOVEMBER
Flower Garden.—Continue planting hyacinths and other Dutch bulbs, and lilies of all kinds; also plant roses, evergreens and deciduous shrubs of all kinds. Form new lawns and renovate old ones (fer which we recommend our special lawn fertilizer, at the rate of 600 pounds per acre.) Carry out landseape alterations, if required; dig and manure borders, and energetically proceed with all heavy work.
Vegetable Garden.—Sow seeds as recommended in reference table for this month, and hill up young crops. Keep the ground thoroughly clean, and dig or plow manure in all un- occupied ground for future use. Keep down slugs by free use of Hammond’s Slug Shot, salt, lime, or any other dressing which is beneficial to the growing crops.
DECEMBER
Flower Garden.—Operations same as last month.

GERMAIN’S HIGH-GRADE FLOWER SEEDS
A FEW CULTURAL SUGGESTIONS
HE use and growth of flowers, especially,
i marks the progress of individuals and
nations, the greatest nations of the earth
\ being those with whom the love of flori-
Y culture most prevails. To the lover of
flowers, what can be more interesting than
to sow the seed, water and otherwise care
for the’ growth and development of the
plant, and at last enjoy the expansion of the flower?
What does the sense of proprietorship of the purchaser
of flowers compare to that of the grower of them? The
latter feels that they are verily his own, the results
of his fostering care. Among the flowers which may
be grown with a minimum amount of care and expense
are those varieties which reproduce themselves from seeds.
They are classed as Annuals, Biennials and Perennials,
and these are subdivided into Hardy, Half-hardy and Tender varieties of each class.
Hardy Annuals are those plants which may be sown in the open air. They grow, flower, produce seed and then die.
Half-Hardy Annuals are those varieties which require an even temperature of at least 60 degrees to germinate the seed, and will not stand frost; consequently they must not be sown in the open ground during the fall or winter months, and not in spring till April. A good rule for those to follow who .wish to sow this class is to wait for the proper weather and season in which to sow corn, melon or pumpkin seeds.
Tender Annuals are those that require greenhouse protection, as Calceolaria, ete.; the seeds are usually very fine, and it requires skill and care to raise them.
Hardy Perennials are those that flower in the second year from sowing the seed and then die.
Hardy Perennials are among the finest of our border plants. They do not usually flower till the second year after sowing, but may be relied upon to produce larger clumps of flowers year by year for many years.
Half-Hardy Perennials are those which require some protection during the coldest weather, as they will not stand frost.
Tender Perennials are those species that require greenhouse or other protection during the greater part of the year, as they are, generally speaking, natives of tropical countries.
The best time to sow Hardy Annuals is in the fall months, as they will make much stronger plants and flower much more abundantly when wintered over. They
. may be sown in any finely-prepared shady border, and
transplanted when large enough, to where they are to flower. Do not cover the seeds too deep. A good rule is to cover each seed its own depth with soil, at the same time taking care to water carefully. Never water so much that the soil gets “soggy,” i. e., saturated; nor
ever let the top get dry. Most varieties will germinate within ten days.
They may also be sown at any time during the spring months for summer blooming, care being taken to shade the young plants after transplanting, in hot weather.
Half-hardy Annuals may be sown in April out-of- doors, or in boxes, in March or earlier. If in boxes, they should be covered or removed under cover during the night-time and during heavy rains. Those who have hotbeds may sow the seed in February and grow the plants in 33-inch pots for planting outdoors in April, thus gaining two months on those who have not this advantage. (See instructions for making hotbeds in ealendar of operations.) If sown in boxes, the boxes should have an inch of rough soil or gravel at the bot- tom for drainage; the remainder of the box should be filled within an inch of the top with sifted, light, rich soil, firmly pressed, and the seed should be sown covered its own depth- with soil, again pressed and watered. When the young plants are large enough to be handled, prick out into other boxes, planting them about 1 inch apart, and, when weather permits, they should afterwards be planted in the open ground in the place where they are to flower.
Tender Annuals should be sown in pots as follows: Take a 5 or 6-inch flower pot, put an inch of drainage in the bottom, then 2 inches of finely-sifted soil, firmly pressed, with a sprinkling of sand on top. Then sow the seed, and do not cover, but press into the soil. Water with a very fine sprinkler, and cover the top of the pot with a sheet of glass. Remove the glass for an hour daily to dry up the damp. When seedlings appear, gradually harden them off to the air. As soon as they can be handled, prick out into 2-ineh pots, and shift again when necessary.
Hardy Biennials and Perennials should be sown in September. Many varieties, if sown then, will flower to the next year. If sown in spring they will not flower till a year later. They may be sown in a shady border, and, when large enough, transplanted to where they are to remain.
Half-hardy and Tender Perennials should be sown in boxes, and treated as recommended for Half-hardy Annuals till plants appear, when they should be pricked into 2-inch pots, and shifted afterwards when necessary.
We have arranged our list of flower seeds according
to the various classes: Annuals, including separate lists of Everlasting Flowers and Ornamental Gourds; Climbers, Annual and Perennial; Biennials and Peren-
nials; Ornamental Grasses, Annual and Perennial.
ABBREVIATIONS. Hh means Half-hardy, Annual or Perennial; T means Tender, Annual or Perennial. When no abbreviation is used, the variety will prove hardy in this climate. The letter B affixed to a variety means that it is useful- for bouquets and cut-flowers.

TREE AND SHRUB SEED
The supply of fuel is a vital question for Southern California. Varieties of Eucalyptus and other rapid- f@rowing trees are being largely planted in an attempt to supply the demand. The value of trees tor shade and shelter need not be enlarged upon, and the demand for other purposes, such as_ railroad _ ties, spokes, shingles, fence posts, etc., is constant. Southern Cal- ifornia is well adapted for the purpose, as large areas of land now barren could be well utilized. In raising all kinds of tree seeds successfully, the process of growth and germination in their natural habitat should be imitated as closely as possible. As a rule, all trees and shrub seed germinate slowly compared with vege- table and flower seeds.
All Hard Seeds, as acacias, locust, Osage Orange, etc., should be soaked for 24 hours in warm water, say at 120 degrees, before sowing, or, where practicable , strew dry leaves or bushes over the beds after sowing and watering, and set fire to them.
Deciduous Tree Seeds should be planted in this sec- tion in winter or very early in the spring, as most of these seeds lose their vitality very rapidly. The soil should be well prepared, rich and deep, and the seed should always be sown in drills, and ground Kept thor- oughly free from weeds. Evergreen tree seeds should be sown in boxes or pans thoroughly well drained, and should be protected from the sun by being placed under the shelter of a hedge or fence. They are best sown in the spring or fall, and should be carefully transplant- ed when necessary.
Vitality. As many tree seeds are collected in distant countries, and will sometimes fail to germinate, al- though they may appear well enough to the eye, we
wish it to be distinctly understood that we will not in any way be responsible for their failure; but, at the same time, we will use every endeavor to supply the best.
All tree and shrub seeds quoted in this: list at less than 50 cts. per oz. we can supply at 10 ects. per pkt.; those quoted at 50 ects. and upward per oz. we can supply at 15 ects. per pkt.
AUSTRALIAN TREE AND SHRUB SEEDS
We make a separate category of these, as from their value they are worthy of it. The visitor to Australia, at any season, will at once notice that all the indigenous vegetation is evergreen. The writer does not know one deciduous tree or shrub native to that country. The most valuable are, of course, the Eucalyptus. These possess great antiseptic properties, and are, no doubt, also of great value in absorbing moisture from the bot- tom soils, thus preventing malaria. Their value as rapid-growing timber is also great, some varieties mak- ing excellent fuel, while others are nearly uninflam- mable, but are useful in carpentry, and for railway ties, platforms, piles, jetties, etc. Others are very ornament- al, bearing showy flowers.
ACACIA Baileyana. A small, handsome tree with glau- cous green foliage. Leaves pinnate, three to four pairs, leaflets about 20 pairs 1% to 2% lines long, crowded; linear. Flowers in racemes 38 to 4 inches long, yellow. One of the most beautiful of the Acacias highly recommended for. street planting. Height 25 ft. Oz. 60 cts., lb. $6.
Cultriformis (Knife-leaved Acacia). A distinct and beautiful species of upright growth, forming a large shrub, with glaucous green leaves about %x¥% inch
in size. When in bloom the plant presents a splen- did appearance on the lawn. Height 15 feet. Oz. 50 cts., lb. $5.
Dealbata (Silver Wattle). Very ornamental. Height 15 ft. Oz. 40 cts., lb. $4.
Floribunda. Ornamental, with very abundant hand-
some flowers, valuable for lawns, parks, cemeteries, ete. Height 25 ft. Oz. 50 cts., Ib. $5
Decurrens (Green or Black Wattle). A tree of rapid growth, very useful for wind-breaks. It is also very rich in tannin. Wood is valuable for fuel, and for turner’s and cooper’s work. Height 30 ft. Oz. 35 cts., Ib. $3.50.
Latifolia. A handsome shade tree, succeeding espe- cially well near the seacoast. Leaves broad; yellow
medium-sized
flowers. Native of South Africa. Height 40 ft. Oz. 50 cts., lb. $5.
Linifolia (Flax-leaved). An ornamental shrub, with yellow flowers, growing in heads two to four to- gether. Height 8 ft. Pkt. 15 cts.
Lophantha (Albizzia Lophantha; Cape or Crested Wat-
tle). One of the most rapid-growing trees for first temporary shelter, succeeding in the most desolate places. Height 25 ft. Oz. 15 cts., lb. $1.25.
Melanoxylon (Blackwood). In sheltered, irrigated glens this tree will reach a height of from 80 to 100 feet, with a trunk several feet in diameter. The

‘“ THE TIMBER OF THE FUTURE ”
The Eucalyptus will undoubtedly be one of the most important sources of the general timber supply for the United States. The Government Bureau of Forestry makes the statement that at the present rate of destruction, the timber

[52]
years.
There is an increasing demand for hardwood tim- ber, and as most of the Eucalypt will not stand a lower temperature than 15 to 20 deg. Fahrenheit, it is up to us to grow them here on the Coast and interior valleys.
Plant now—for now is the time. To be first in the field to supply the needs, is to reap great profits. There are no hardwood trees that will grow as rap- idly as the Eucalypt. They will make ties in 7 to 10 years, and poles 40 to 50 ft. in 8 to 10 years, and each year increases their value.
If we take into consideration the small area in which this tree can be grown on account o% its in- tolerance of frost, and the ease with which we can grow this valuable timber, we can begin to appre- ciate how much a few acres of Eucalyptus will be worth in a few years.
Eucalyptus Rostrata or Red Gum, is one of the most valuable, and it grows under a variety of cli- matic conditions. It is one of the best all-around trees; it thrives at the coast; on the dry mesas; in the foothills, and in the dry, hot valleys of the interior. The usefulness of this timber is due to its durability, both underground and in water, as it is almost as hard as iron. It is used for all kinds of furniture, as it takes a beautiful polish.
For telegraph poles, posts, piles and street curbing, it has no equal.
Eucalyptus Tree Seed
DIRECTIONS FOR RAISING SEEDLING EUCALYPTUS
Sow seed in spring or summer in shallow boxes in a light, sandy soil with plenty of drainage at the bottom of each box. Cover the seed lightly and protect from the hot sun, but allow plenty of air; water often, but sparingly, especially after seed- lings appear, for if too much water is given at one time they will be liable to damp off. When the seedlings are two or three inches high transfer to shallow boxes, placing about 1% inch apart each way, and when large enough transplant to where they are to remain, and water well the first year. The strong growing kinds can be sown in August, September and October, and are ready for plant- ing out early in spring. Slower kinds, as HBuca- lyptus amygdalina, ete., sow in spring. One Ib. of seed will produce from 15,000 to 30,000 trees. All varieties put up in 15c pkts.
Euealyptus amygdalina. ‘Messmate Gum.’”’ Belong- ing to this variety are the tallest trees in the world. In Gippsland, Australia, are trees over 400 feet in height.

CHERRY, PLUM, PEACH, ALMOND, ete. The cultural directions given for the walnut, so far as germinat- ing the seed is concerned, may be followed. Should the quantity be small, however, the pits may be placed in layers in boxes placed on the ground in a sunny exposure. Sprinkle over each layer a coat- ing of sand. Layers may be four to six deep. Keep constantly moist but not soaking. As the young plants appear above ground, they should be care- fully removed and planted in nursery rows 3 feet apart. A cloudy day is most suitable for this work.

The seed may be planted in beds, during the winter or spring, covering about 1 inch deep, and kept moist, but not until they germinate, which will be in about three or four weeks, accord- ing to the temperature. As soon as they crack and show the sprout they should be transplanted to the nursery rows, 41% to 5 feet apart and 6 inches apart in the row.

JUBILEE INCUBATORS
The Jubilee Incubators are radically differ- ent from all other Incubators. They are constructed on a different principle, with the same idea in view it is true, but a dif- ferent method is followed to gain results. The Jubilees are made from infinitely better materials than any other machines, more materials are used, and the whole cost of eonstruction is a great deal more than any other machine.
216 Egg Jubilee IncubatorZ Weight®110 Ibs. Price $32.00
Its record is unapproached.—The Jubilee has proven its vast superiority in the hands of thousands of practical operators. It has replaced and is replacing incubators of every known make. Where the Jubilee is Known the Jubilee is used. The reason why is very simple: By test it proves a vastly more practical machine, giving great- er and more certain results.

No lamps, hot water, steam, gas- oline or any kind of artificial heat is used / in this brooder; neither is the brooder house required to be heated. Our ex- perienee has taught us that chicks do best when kept in lots of 100 or less.

‘‘PLANET JR.” LABOR-SAVING GARDEN TOOLS
These are the most perfect garden tools made, and have long been the most popular. They are known the world over and, beyond question, are the most complete in equipment and the most practical and labor-saving in the garden that have yet been invented. Space will not permit our showing and describing all of the ‘Planet
Jr.”’ tools, but we will send a fully illustrated catalogue free for the asking to any who desire it.
NO. 4 COMBINED SEED DRILL, SINGLE WHEEL HOEK, CULTIVATOR AND PLOW.
This is the most popular combined tool made. It com- bines, in a single implement, a first-class hill-dropping seeder, a single wheel hoe or weeder, a cultivator and a plow. The hopper holds two quarts of seed, which ean be sown in continuous rows or dropped in hills at

4, 6, 8, 12 or 24 inches apart. The drill is detached and the tool frame substituted by removing but one bolt. It then becomes a single wheel hoe. It is useful almost every day of the season, at every stage of the garden work. With this one implement the small farmer can do practically all the work in his small crops. $12; as @ drill only, $10. °
NO. 8 HORSE HOEK AND CULTIVATOR.
Probably no other cultivating machine is so widely known as the “Planet Jr.’”’” Combined Horse Hoe and Cul-
_tivator, for it is in use throughout the civilized world.
It is so strongly built as to withstand incredible strain, yet it is light and easy to handle. You can do almost anything you want with it in the garden or field. It
opens and closes furrows, hoes right up to the plants without danger of injuring, throws dirt to or from the row and back from center again. You can set the hoes at any angle or reverse altogether, cultivate to any

depth desired, and adjust for any width. Every part is perfected to make the tool acceptable to the intel- ligent farmer, who knows the best is always the cheap- est. asco $10.50. Without depth regulator (order as No. 7), $10.
NO. 4 PLAIN CULTIVATOR.
It is a light and very strong tool, having our im- proved patent hollow steel standards, our parallel and extra-high steel frame and new patent. handle braces.
A
No.
4 Plain Cultivator

NO. 6 HILL AND DRILL SEEDER AND SINGLE WHEEL HOE.
This seeder is the latest and most perfect develop- ment of the hand seed drill. It sows evenly in drills and also drops in hills at 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 inches apart. It is thrown out of gear instantly by moving a conven- ient lever, or the flow of seed is stopped by pushing down feed rod. No time is lost, no seed is wasted. It
=
No. 6 Hill and Drill Seeder
is quickly set to sow the different kinds of seeds, in the exact thickness required. The accurate hill-drop- ping drill, which gives a regular stand of plants with the least seed, saves its cost over and over again in seed alone. As a wheel hoe it is like No. 17, but has a higher wheel. Price, complete, $14.50; as a drill only, $12; as a wheel hoe, $7.
THE FIRE-FLY GARDEN PLOW
This tool is most useful to owners of small gardens. It will throw a furrow 4 to 6 inches wide, and 1 to 3 inches deep. The furrows for manure or seeds can be opened and covered. In cultivating, plow away weed, and plow back again. This tool will enable a busy man to do in his spare minutes nearly all the work of a family garden.
Chicken-raisers find it of great advantage in plowing up their scratching-yards. Price, $3.
NG. 12 DOUBLE WHEEL HOR, CULTIVATOR AND PLOW
Two acres a day can easily be worked with this im- plement, and when it is done it will be a better job than three men could have done in the same time with hand hoes. The No. 12 runs either astride or between the
No. 12 Double Wheel Hoe
kills all the weeds and leaves the earth in fine shape. Then, too, it’s so easy to work; 12-year-old girls work gardens with them with ease and success. The No. 12 has a pair of 6-inech hoes, a pair of plows for opening or covering, and a set of four all-steel cultiva- tor teeth. Price, $7.85.

“PLANET JR.” SEEDER, DOUBLE WHEEL HOKE, CUL- TIVATOR AND PLOW.
This combined machine is intended for gardeners: who have a large enough acreage in crops for a double wheel hoe to be used to good advantage, and prefer not to buy separate machines.
No. 25 Combined Hill an Drill Seeder
identical with the ‘Planet Jr.” No. 4 Drill, and is thor-. oughly substantial and accurate in sowing all kinds of garden seeds in hills or drills.

THE BOSS ROLLER—HEART DESIGN.
The only high-grade lawn roller on the market hav- ing a perfectly smooth face and a silver finish. The cylinders revolve on steel axles and fit neatly. The out- er edges are beveled, thus greatly facilitating the oper- ation of the roller. The cylinders are so geared that, when turning, one of the rollers remains in place while the other revolves, enabling the operator to work in small spaces and turn without danger of tearing up lawn or soil.
These rollers are balanced with a heavy weight at- tached to the axle, which not only keeps them perfectly level, but holds the handles in an erect position when not in use. The handles are of a new design and well braced, which makes them rigid, durable and extremely

The benefit derived from the use of a roller on the lawn, especially in the spring, is not fully under- stood. The action of cold weather and rains causes the soil to heave, and if not firmly pressed back with a roller before the hot weather begins, the grass is liable to be killed or injured, leaving the lawn full of bare spots.
