A FALL GARDEN? YES

If you will, your fall garden can be just as important in health and
money saving as the usual spring garden. In Florida. South Texas
and all along the Gulf Coast the fall garden is really more important
than the spring garden.

Everyone in our southern country can have a garden in fall and
early winter, some more than others, but all can have many of the
standard, well liked, regularly used vegetables. Many of these
vegetables, even as far north as Atlanta will stay with you all
winter.

The information below on this page carefully outlines just what
can be planted in each general locality and when, during late sum¬
mer and fall. It is based on 40 years experience and observation.

Too many are content with “turnip greens” and collard patches
for fall and winter. Fine as far as they go but they don’t go fai
even when they are big ones. Variety is what helps bring along tine
appetites. Variety in your food, particularly fresh vegetable food,
tones up your health, makes you and the rest of the family feel

better in every way. Plenty of good vegetable food on your table
regularly means less store bills, less doctor's visits, less dollars
spent for pills and patent medicines.

We need, in this time of world-wide depression, to save dollars as
well as health. This is true of both the folks on the farm and the
folks in town. Wherever there is a fairly good plot of ground,
there vegetables should grow for your table. Every mess of vege¬
tables coming from that garden means less food that you have
to buy.

The home vegetable garden is, or rather should be, taken seri¬
ously. It’s worth more, if tended right, than any other piece of
ground on the place. A quarter acre all-year-round garden is
worth more to you and your family than the finest “brag” acre of
cotton, tobacco or corn or anything else your ever grew.

Don’t you believe that? Try it and see. Begin trying and seeing
now. The results will surprise and please you just as the results
have surprised and pleased thousands of others all over the South.

You Can Have a Good Fall Garden in Your State

RpanQ Bush varieties can be planted in the northern half of
UCalia Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas,
also in North and South Carolina, up to August loth; in the south¬
ern half of these States named up to September 1st. Pole snap
varieties like Kentucky Wonder, also pole and bush lima or butter
beans, can be planted in the southern half up to August loth. In
Florida plant all kinds during August; the bush varieties during
September, and in South Florida beans can be planted with more
or less safety during all the fall and winter months.

Rootc The turnip-shaped varieties such as Hastings’ Improved
Blood Turnip, Early Wonder and Crosby Egyptian can
be planted in August in the northern half of Georgia. Alabama. Mis-
sippi, Louisiana, Texas and in the Carolinas during August and
first half of September. I" the southern half of the Gulf States
beet planting can continue until about October 15. In Florida, South¬
west Texas and many of the more protected Gulf Coast sections the
planting of beets may be continued during all of the fall and winter
months. In Florida, beets should be planted in October, November
and December.

M

Cailllf lnu/01* Planting of Cauliflower is not advised during
j.jje jajj m0nths except in Florida, Southwest
Texas and well protected spots along the Gulf Coast. Seed had best
be sown in late September or October for maturing in early spring
months. Cauliflower will not stand heat, and to be successful must
be matured not later than April 1st in those sections. The same is
true of Broccoli, which resembles Cauliflower closely.

In the Lower South. Florida, Southwest Texas and
vauuagc the Gu]f Coast sections this is the most important
fall sown vegetable crop. Early varieties such as the Wakefields can
be planted in northern half of Georgia, Alabama. Louisiana, Missis¬
sippi, Texas and in the Carolinas in August for maturing before
cold weather comes. In the southern half of these States planting
may be made in September and October of the flat varieties: Fla.
Drumhead, Surehead, Sure Crop, Centennial Late Flat Dutch, for
maturing during the late winter months. In Florida, the immedi¬
ate Gulf Coast sections and Southwest Texas the bulk of seed plant¬
ing should be during the month of October for March and April ma¬
turity. Cabbage is a half hardy vegetable and will stand considera¬
ble cold without serious injury except when “in bud,” that is, the
beginning of the formation of the head. If frozen at that time it is
apt to run to seed without forming heads.

C Suitable for August planting in the northern half of
\#ai 1 UI9 t]ie snufh, for September planting in the southern
half. For Florida, Southwest Texas and close to the Gulf, plantings
mav be made almost anv time up to December. The carrot is a
vegetable that should be more largely planted in the South in the
fall as well as in the spring.

We do not advise the planting of celery in the fall except
VC,CI J in Florida, Southwest Texas and in the protected spots
along the Gulf. In those sections August and September plantings
are the most desirable for March and April maturity.

looked on as an almost strictly spring vege-
uucumuer table it can be planted in August and early Sep¬
tember for quick maturity along the Gulf Coast and in Florida.
Limited areas of this are found profitable in South Florida for ship¬
ments North during the winter months.

roonlarit Not advised for planting in the fall except in South
“BSP******1 Florida. July and August plantings will mature in
that State in about 110 days, and like cucumbers, limited areas are
found profitable for shipments from South Florida during the
winter months. Peppers are adapted to similar conditions.

Kale or Borecole

Entirely hardy in all parts of the
South in any average winter. In the

northern half of the South. September and October sowings are the
best. In Florida and Gulf Coast sections plant up to January 1st.
Kale should be in every garden in the South for winter and spring
greens.

LpttllCP One of tlle most "’idely grown and largely planted
0f the “salad” vegetables. Requires rich or well
manured soil and plenty of moisture for quick growth. In north¬
ern Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and the Carolinas, sow¬
ing of lettuce can be made during August and up to September 15th.
In the southern half, these sowings can be continued up to October
1st. In Florida, Southwest Texas and protected Gulf Coast points
plantings may be continued all through the fall and winter, although
the best months are October and November. Where the garden has
cold-frames or protected beds, lettuce can be planted and grown in
them during all the fall and winter months in the northern districts.

■yiljef arrl Largely planted in family gardens in both fall and
■viUSldi U Spring_ jn the more northern sections of the South.
August, September and October sowings are best. In Florida and
the Gulf Coast sections October sowings are the best, although in
Florida continuous sowings can be made October to February.

nninnc Plant sets of the hardy varieties (Yellow Globe and
UIIIUII9 Silverskin) in the northern half of the South in Septem¬
ber and October; in the southern half plant from September to De¬
cember. In the southern half, also Florida and Southwest Texas,
plant seed of the Bermudas during October. Sets of all the onions
can be planted all through the fall in that section, but the Bermuda
varieties from seed are preferable.

Garden or English Peas Jg? S,i'7,a”2 fJXi

planted in northern half of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Lousi-
ana in August: in the southern half, plantings of them can be made
as late as September 15th. In Florida, South Texas and near the Gulf,
plantings can be made both of the extra earlies and second earlies,
such as Home Delight and Bliss’ Everbearing, almost any time dur¬
ing fall and winter months. Peas are fairly hardy except when in
bloom.

Djiflj — I-A— In the northern half of Georgia, Alabama, Missis-
ndUI9IIC9 sippi, Louisiana, Texas and both the Carolinas, suc¬
cession plantings of radishes may be made every ten days to two
weeks from August 15th to October 15th. In the southern half of
those States, also Florida, plantings may begin in September and
continue at intervals all through the fall months. Good or well fer¬
tilized soil, with sufficient moisture to insure quick growth, is neces¬
sary to make crisp, tender radishes.

Cmiaeh We would not advise planting this in the northern
9t|Uaall ha]f 0f this general district except between August
1st and 15th. In the southern half plantings can be made up to
September 1st. In South Florida the bush squashes can be planted
almost at pleasure any time during the fall months.

Qninarh Most of our Southern people like “greens” during
9|JlllC)dl w inter and spring, and for this purpose there is noth¬
ing better than spinach. The seed does not germinate freely in warm
weather, so that planting should be deferred until weather cools
down. It is perfectly hardy, standing any ordinary winter weather,
making growth all through the winter and spring. For Florida and
Gulf Coast sections, November and December plantings are best.

Plant in the northern half of Georgia, Alabama.

■ UMIalVC9 Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and the Carolinas
up to August 1st. In the lower half to August 15th and in Florida
and Southern Texas they make a regular fall and early winter crop
for shipment and home use. If plants are frozen the green fruit will
ripen in the house.

Tlirninc This is the old standby in Southern fall gardens. In

■ lll|J9 an the states except Florida, South Texas and im¬
mediate Gulf Coast sections the planting season opens with ruta¬
bagas in July and August, followed two or three weeks later by the
bulb varieties of turnips such as Purple Top Globe, Flat Dutch,
White Egg, Purple Top Flat, etc., followed in September and Octo¬
ber by the “salad” varieties like Seven Top and Shogoin.

When you order seeds in 10 or 100 pound lots or over at “Not
Prepaid” prices you can have the seeds sent to you by parcel
post, express or freight but you must pay the transportation
charges. Where the freight or express office nearest you is not

As an example we will suppose that you want to order 14
pounds (a peck) of corn. If you lived in either the 1st or 2nd
postal zones from Atlanta the amount to be sent us in addition
to the price of the corn would be 20 cents; for the 3rd zone 84
cents; for the 4th zone 00 cents and so on. With the table shown
It’s very easy to figure it exactly, once you know what your zone
number is.

If at all in doubt as to your zone be sure and send enough to
cover necessary postage. If you send too much, the surplus will be
returned to you.

Seventy pounds is the weight limit. If larger quantities are
wanted it will have to be split into two or more shipments. 50
pounds is the weight limit for the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th zones.

CC() Hastings’ Evergreen Lawn Grass, properly planted during the fall, will make your house into “The Home Beautiful.” lawn Grasses
are a great specialty with us and special mixtures for golf courses, aviation fields, polo grounds, lawn tennis courts, parks, sub¬
divisions and pastures are our most interesting problems. Our success is due to the highest grade seeds and experience.

552 Hastings’ Southern Winter

For the lower
half of the

MlYtlirA South we recommend the planting of this special
c mixture, in the fall and winter months particularly,
for a velvety green lawn all through the winter and spring until the
hot sun of midsummer kills it down, unless regularly watered. These
grasses are largely fast growing and make a quicker show than
any other mixture. They are all good lawn varieties and will
give satisfaction. This mixture is also good for very sunny
locations farther North but “Evergreen” is finer and better. In
planting, follow Pawn Culture directions above. When you make

555 Hastings’ Shady Lawn

Kit a v ■ i o places makes a wonderful winter and spring grass
ITIIAUirc carpet. In the hot, dry summer it does even better in
shady places than other grasses, except Bermuda, do in the sun.
We might say that this successful Shady Lawn Grass is our famous
Evergreen Mixture, with the addition of Poa trivialis and Creeping
Bent Grasses, which are the best grasses known for shady places.
Most lawns have shady places, because trees are very desirable.
Bare spots in the lawn look bad and so we urge you to plant your
shady places with this special mixture after using' plenty of humus,
such as Peat Moss or woods earth, and thoroughly preparing your
soil. Follow Lawn Culture directions above. Recommended for the
upper half of the South and farther North.

green lawn. Without a green lawn no home is really attractive.

This is our own mixture proved by years of lawn making to be
the best for the South. You cannot buy it elsewhere. It makes
a quick show and on well prepared soil soon becomes a beautiful
velvety lawn. It stands summer heat and drought without serious
injury, coming out again when the rains begin. If watered thor¬
oughly once or twice a week during hot, dry weather of course it
will stay green all the time, as it does fine without attention dur¬
ing the fail, winter and spring. Follow our “Culture” directions
closely and failure will hardly be possible.

Lawn Culture

Sow Hastings’ Lawn Grass Mixture this
fall and winter, earlier the better, for new
lawns or reseeding old lawns. Spade or plow the soil 12 inches deep.
Remove all rocks, roots and litter. Apply a mixture of 100 pounds
of Pulverized Sheep Manure and 25 to 50 Lbs. high grade fertilizer
to each 1,000 square feet, plat 50x20 feet. (Wizard Sheep Manure is
subjected to intense heat to destroy weed seeds, disease and all
plant life so is best. Sheep Manure is the most concentrated of live¬
stock manures and is also excellent humus material to retain mois¬
ture and available plant food. Hastings’ Special Lawn and Garden
Fertilizer analyzes 4-12-4, quickly available plant food. Besides its
own great plant food value it acts directly on the manure so 2 to 3
times the plant food value is obtained from the manure as would be
available without the fertilizer.) Apply this Sheep Manure and
fertilizer by spading or plowing. Rake thoroughly, mixing fer¬
tilizer with soil and working the soil down smooth, fine and level.
Sow seed carefully so not to skip spots.

5 Lbs. of seed will plant 1,000 sq. ft. (50x20 ft.). Plant a plenty of
seed or you won’t have a thick velvety lawn. Grass seed must not
be covered with soil. After sowing seed, roll the soil surface with a
lawn or tennis court roller or firm the surface in some other con¬
venient way. This firming is all that is necessary. Grass seeds need
only to be pressed into a firm seed bed. (Total needed per 1,000 sq.
it. of lawn — 5 _Lbs. Grass Seed Mixture, 100 Lbs. Pulverized Sheep
Manure and 25 Lbs. Fertilizer.) Use Peat Moss for finest humus.

FERTILIZERS — See Page 47 for Sheep Manure and Peat Moss,
use them on lawn, garden, flowers and shrubs.

beans bear heavily and if pods are left to fully mature, there is an abundance of dry shelled

CAULIFLOWER

(85) Hastings' Gilt

Early Cauliflower for the South

COLLARDS

Cauliflower is one of our most delicious garden vegetables. Many have
had the mistaken idea that it is hard to grow. Anyone can be reasonably
sure of success with Cauliflower when planting Hastings’ Seeds and
it's away ahead of cabbage in quality and flavor.

We import all of our Cauliflower seed direct from the most reliable
growers in Europe. No Cauliflower seed of value is produced in
America and the best seed of Europe is needed for success.
f*n|A|||*^ Does best in rich well-tilled soil; will do in a well-
GUIIUI C manured soil. Sow in seed bed same time as you would
cabbage. Transplant wThen 3 to 4 inches high; give plenty of water in
dry weather. Keep wet, hoe thoroughly and often. In Florida and
along the Gulf sow the seed in September, October and November. The
plants will stand light frosts and should be planted so as to head in
cool weather because they will not head properly in hot weather. One
ounce of seed will make 1,000 good plants. Set plants about 18 inches
apart in row. Matures in 3 to 4 months.

85 Hastings’ Gilt Edge is “Gilt Edge” in every respect.

It is the largest, most perfect, and surest header of all the early varie¬
ties, and in quality it is unexcelled. One specimen was sent to our store
by a gardener which, when the leaves were trimmed off, weighed 7
pounds and 8 ounces.

In general appearance Gilt Edge is like Snowball, but is larger, a sure
header, and stands much longer without decay than any other. Cauli¬
flower should be more generally grown and there is no variety equal to
Gilt Edge where a sure crop of the finest quality is wanted. Packet, 25c.

The Collard is an old-time favorite adapted to all parts of the South.
As a producer of "greens” for boiling in winter and spring it has no
equal. It will pay you to have a collard patch to give your cows an
occasional taste of "green stuff.” Sow any time up to September 15.
When plants are 6 inches high transplant to open ground, setting
plants 2 feet apart in the row. Cultivate like cabbage. Sow one ounce
of seed to 200 feet of row. Collards mature in 3 to 4 months.

136 GEORGIA CABBAGE-

« /\ | | ADf\ field Cabbage, giving a cabbage-like flavor and it
vULLHIII/ heads up like a cabbage. This was originated at
the Georgia Experiment Station by Prof. H. P. Stuckey and the seed
is grown for us by him. It is as hardy as collards, not even winter-
killing with ice and snow, and stands the hot weather as well. The
loose heads are not as large as many cabbages, but they are real
heads that can be left on the plant and used through the winter as
they are tvanted. Heads are rounded, of delicious flavor, either for
boiling or cutting up for slaw. Winter cabbage is a serious problem
for the South. Cabbage-Collard largely solves the difficulty. We have
only a limited amount of seed but be sure to plant an ounce at least
this fall — and order early. Packet, 16c. Oz., 20c. >4 Lb., 50c. Lb.,

( 1 00 ) Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage — Earliest Pointed Heads

We have only one grade — the very best seed that can be grown.
For success in Cabbage growing you must plant the right seed.

A D D A IT /*! 1 1 T1 For home gardens the seed for

1/nDDHUt VUL I UIIC early cabbage can be sown in
boxes very early, kept in sheltered spots and covered when there is
danger of freezes. Later plantings may be made in open ground as
early as ground can be worked. Work soil in seed beds as fine as
possible. Beds should be slightly raised for drainage. Do not ferti¬
lize soil in seed beds to make it any richer than the open ground in
which the crop is to be grown.

Sow seed in drills 6 inches apart across the bed, dropping the
seed 5 or (i to the inch. Thicker sowings than this mean spindling,
unhealthy plants. Cover seed about 14 inch in heavy soils, y2 inch in
light sandy soils; firm the soil after covering and then w~ater the
bed thoroughly. Keep beds moist but not soaking wet. Seed germi¬
nates in 3 to 8 days, according to weather. Keep young plants grow¬
ing steadily from the start. When plants have made the fourth or
fifth pair of leaves transplant to open ground. One ounce of seed
usually makes at least 1,000 good strong plants. Sow 14 to % Lb. of
seed for plants to set one acre. For Success, Plant Dependable Seed.

HASTINGS’ CARROT SEED

THE CARROT IS A PARTICULARLY WHOLESOME VEGETABLE

Culture Carrots deserve a more general cultivation in the South. The young, tender
wUHMf " roots are excellent stewed or boiled, either alone or with meat, as well as for
seasoning and for flavoring soups. Select rich or well manured soil worked deep, because
this is a deep rooted crop and the soil should be prepared deep enough to allow the roots to
penetrate the soil without difficulty. Sow in shallow drills, 16 to 18 inches apart, in August,
and September. In Florida and along the Gulf Coast sow seed from September to December.
Make several sowings about two weeks apart so you will have a succession crop. When
plants are well started, thin out to four inches apart in the row. Cultivate frequently keep
ground free from weeds and grass. Sow 1 ounce of seed to 100 feet of row. Carrots mature
in 0 to 10 weeks from planting.

Belgian Carrot, an immense cropper, having produced as high as 20 tons of
roots per acre. In the Central South they are easily kept for feed all through
the winter, while in the Lower South they can be left in the ground all winter and pulled
as needed. The use of carrots in connection with dry feed helps keep the animals in good
condition and in milk or dairy cattle the flow of milk is largely increased. One thing must
be remembered when large crops are wanted, and that is the crop must be fed with manure
or commercial fertilizers. Sow in drills 3 feet apart, using 4 pounds of seed per acre.

commercial crop for Florida and there is no reason why it should not be just as largely and
successfully grown in Southwest Texas as a market crop. Celery requires rich and moist
soil. If not rich it can be made so by proper fertilizer. In Florida and Gulf Coast section
sow seed in August and September in shaded beds, covering seed not over half inch. When
6 inches high transplant to open ground. Celery planted as above should mature in follow¬
ing March and April. It brings in as high as $1,500 per acre. One ounce of seed sows 400

LETTUCE FOR HOME, GARDEN AND MARKET

Lettuce seed is one of our great specialties, and in addition to sup¬
plying over two hundred thousand family gardens each year we sell
thousands of pounds of highest grade lettuce seed to shippers and
market gardeners. Our great market varieties, BIG BOSTON, HAST¬
INGS’ DRUMHEAD, FLORIDA HEADER, DIXIE HARD HEAD
and CALIFORNIA CREAM BUTTER, are supreme. The high quality
of HASTINGS’ Letttuce Seed is known everywhere in the South where
Lettuce is grown, for purity, hardness of head and slowness to run
to seed. Our lettuce seed is all grown in California by our grower,
whom we consider the most careful lettuce seed grower in the world,
and the growing crops are personally inspected by our Mr. Hastings
or Mr. Freeborn so as to insure the quality being kept up to the Hast¬
ings’ standard. Do you know of any seed firm where the head of the
house, or another officer will travel over 6,000 miles each year to see
that every possible care is taken to have the lettuce seed just right?

210 BIG BOSTON

Big Boston is of the Blitter Head type.

Ours is perfection in this variety, and

you cannot buy any Big Boston Lettuce at any price that is superior
to our strain. The heads of this strain are so firm and solid that al¬
most every head has to be cut open before the seed stalks can grow.

It is a standard market garden and shipping variety, being grown al¬
most exclusively in many sections for shipment and for market.
Extra large, round, firm heading variety, and makes a good appear¬
ance in market. Our seed of this variety is grown for us by a lettuce
seed specialist whom we consider the best in the world. Our seed of
Big Boston is the surest and hardest heading stock that vou can
obtain. Packet, 10c. Oz., 20c. 14 Lb., 50c. Lb., $1.50. 5 Lbs., $6.00.

all year, quite hardy in winter and stands hot weather, always re¬
maining tender. Leaves are large, thick, succulent, deep green and
with small midribs. Tendergreen does not make a bulbous root like

HASTINGS' MUSTARD
FOR WINTER SALAD

Culture

Mustard is used as a condiment but the chief use is for greens or
salad. The green leaves are boiled like Spinach or Turnip tops and
make one of our most popular “greens.” Plant a plenty and it is
well to make successive sowings.

Sow in any good garden soil thickly in drills 14 to 16
inches apart. Give clean culture, keeping free from
grass and weeds. Leaves are large enough to use as a salad in from
four to six weeks from sowing, and can be cut all through the winter. Sow August to
November for fall and winter greens, and January to April for spring and summer
greens. Plant one ounce of seed to 200 feet of row.

278 Giant Southern Curled Mustard plete without a patch of

mustard for early salad. Our Giant Southern Curled is the very best of the finely curled
strains, really beautiful enough to grace a flower garden. It is slightly pungent, crisp

of Southern Curled is the same as offered by one or more of the Northern seedsmen as
“Ostrich Plume.” If you like mustard vou will be pleased with this. Packet, 5c. Oz.,

HASTINGS’ COMBINATION SALAD

9Qfl “Greens” or “Salad” is wanted more than anything else
"OU we sen for late summer and fall plantings. Most people
like a variety of greens for both spring and fall plantings and
just lots of our good customers in and around Atlanta come in
our local store and ask us to mix them up a combination of sev¬
eral kinds of greens. They like to plant them all at the same
time, either in rows or broadcast, and have good tender greens
for boiling for a long time.

There really is a distinct advantage In having a combination.
A whole lot of Turnip Greens or a whole lot of Mustard or Rape
or Kale easilv gets tiresome to eat when it is on the table every
day. When the four salad vegetables are served together you not
only have your favorite but also you have an entirely different
salad, a flavor of each but a combined taste that will make you
like “greens” more than ever.

Our customers with small gardens, and most town gardens are
small, haven’t space enough for several kinds of greens when they
also want beans, peas, tomatoes, squash, peppers, beets, carrots,
radishes, Brussels sprouts, lettuce, etc. To these we particularly
recommend Hastings’ Combination Salad. However, our farm cus¬

tomers also want a variety of greens and many of them prefer to
grow as well as to boil them together. The big majority of home
gardens on the farms are so small that many town gardens put
them to shame, and it sure is a shame, but in a small or a large
home garden we believe you will like this nicely balanced Combi¬
nation Salad for some mighty good boiled greens this_ fall and
winter. Hastings’ Combination Salad is our own mixture of
Turnip, Mustard, Kale or -Borecole and Rape— properly propor¬
tioned to give you some fine boiled dinners within a few weeks
and many more until you’ve eaten them all up.

HASTINGS’ BERMUDA ONIONS

(289) Hastings’ Bermuda Onions — Earliest, Mildest Flavored — Most Attractive Onions in the World

Back about 1890 this firm introduced the Bermuda Onion as a commercial crop to Florida. Eater to South Texas and still later to
Southern California. It has made good to an extent that no other onion type ever has. Each year millions of dollars’ worth of Bermuda
Onions grown from fall planted seed are shipped to Northern markets from Texas. Florida, California and the Gulf Coast.

We recommend the Bermuda varieties to you unreservedly for earliness, good yields and mildness of flavor. They are equally good
young for pulling green or after fully matured. They are so mild in flavor that many people eat them raw, like an apple.

VoSSmu Rnritiurla The most wide|y and largely
£00 leilOW Dermuua planted of the Bermuda va-

ftninn rieties. Before we introduced our Crystal Wax this was
VfilOfl generally called White Bermuda, although it is a light
yellovv or straw’ co.lor. This is the variety that made Texas famous
as an onion growing State and we have always rightfully claimed
that Hastings’ is the finest seed in the world. The higher quality
Bermuda Onions grown from Hastings’ Seeds bring the highest
market prices and often premiums above the best market prices.
Our illustration show’s the Bermuda as grown from October planted
seed. Less than six months from seed sow’ing to fully matured
onions. Because of its mildness it is immensely popular with mil¬
lions of people who dislike the strong flavor of most onions. Packet,
10c. Oz., 25c. Lb., 75c. Lb., $2.50.

289 Hastings’ Crystal Wax

RormilHa Our own introduction and one of which wre have
Dermuud been exceedingly proud. It is the only pure white
Bermuda Onion and has a most beautiful w’axy appearance that
makes it sell on sight in the retail markets. In New York and other
large markets our Crystal Wax sells at 25 to 50 cents per crate above
the Yellow Bermuda. Except in color it is identical w’ith the Yellow
Bermuda: has all its desirable qualities combined with much more
handsome appearance. Hastings’ Crystal Wax is an excellent home
garden Onion as well as for market gardens and shipment. Being
such a mild and beautiful Onion and so easily grown it is especially
suited to home garden use. This is the mildest and earliest of all
Onions. Packet, 10c. 14 Oz., 20c. Oz., 30c. *4 Lb„ 90c. Lb., $3.00.

ONION SEEDS

The Bermudas are the earliest to mature, and hold a distinct
place, both as a commercial crop and as well for home
gardens and nearby markets. There is a place, however, that
they do not fill. They are early and the quantity of them
grown is so small compared with the large and steady de¬
mand for onions that the Bermudas seldom take care of the
market over two months in the year. This leaves a nine or
ten months’ demand to be supplied with other varieties, for
the Bermudas, unless carefully handled, do not keep well
over three months. Do not plant too early. Onion Seed will
not germinate well in the hot weather we generally have in
August and first half of September. One ounce plants about
200 feet of row.

296 Hastings’ Prizetaker §„?/„

A_!nn very best American growth, far superior to all
“niOIl imported seed and ’way ahead of the Prizetaker
Onion offered by most American houses. It has been most
successfully grown in all parts of the Central South from
both fall and spring sowings. It is very large, frequently
measuring 12 to 18 inches in circumference, and fine bulbs
have been raised weighing from 4% to 5 pounds each. During
the last five years we have seen some splendid market crops of
Prizetakers raised even under very unfavorable conditions,
not only in Georgia, but in practically every one of the South¬
ern States, showing Prizetaker to be well adapted to our en¬
tire section. Prizetaker is a light straw-colored onion with a
pure white flesh, very fine grain with rather mild flavor, and
will keep for any reasonable length of time. Packet, 10c.

South

Many of our customers
don’t plant Garden Peas
because they don’t bear
long enough. Plant seed
deeper and work soil up
around stalks, and Peas will stay in bearing
twice as long. You should plant more Peas.

For faI1 planting in the Central
I/UIIUIC South, Garden Peas should be sown
early in September, especially the second early varieties.
Extra early sorts, such as John L., can be sown through¬
out September and will mature before frost. In Florida
and along the Gulf Coast they may be sown during any
of the fall months, October and November being preferable.
Sow in drills, covering seed 2 to 3 inches deep, according to
soil. To avoid the necessity of staking or brushing, plant
the peas in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, and when the
vines get large enough run them together. Most varieties
of the earlies and second earlies are of sufficient stiff growth to sup¬
port each other in this manner. Plant 2 pounds of peas to 1U0 feet of
row. 56 pounds of wrinkled or 60 pounds of smooth peas make a bushel.

316 Hastings’ John L. — Quickest Growing Pea

Earliest of all the extra early varieties; for home use, market or shipment. Since
1896 it has held the record for earliness against all of the best strains of early
peas sold by other American seedsmen and during that time no pea has been
introduced that equals it for earliness and productiveness in the extra early class.
John L. is a standard with Southern gardeners, both for shipping and home
markets, and every year we sell hundreds and hundreds of bushels of this variety

(346) Hastings’ California Wonder — Great New Pepper

357-Hastings’ Royal King

Introduced by us in 1917. While it is a superb sweet pepper for
home and market use we want to especially call the attention of the
trucker or shipping market gardeners to its regularity of size and
shape, making it an exceptionally desirable variety for good pack¬
ing and line appearance on arrival in the markets. This will insure
its being a top price seller at all times. It is very piolific, bright,
glossy and of large size. The flesh is mild and thick and the lobes
well filled out. It runs remarkably true to type and uniformity,
and plants are of strong, stocky, erect growth. Taste it raw, stuff
it with meat and bake it, or fill it with salads. You will like it.

stuff and bake or to serve whole with salad. Plants are of stocky,

HASTINGS’ RADISH SEED

Radishes require a rich, loose, moist soil, so they can be grown quickly. The crisp,
IrllllUre tender flesh depends on rapid growth. Successive plantings should be made every 10
days to keep up a supply. For quick use plant the round or button Radishes. For later use plant
the long and half-long varieties, as they root deeper and resist heat and drought. Winter Radishes
should be sown in August and September. Sow thinly in drills one foot apart; cover >/2 inch. Our
Radish seed is the very best, grown from carefully selected and transplanted roots. Radishes are
very easy to grow. Sow one ounce of seed to 100 feet of row; 10 to 12 pounds per acre. Radishes
mature in 3 to G weeks.

FALL IS TURNIP PLANTING TIME

Turnips is the big fall garden crop throughout the
LUIKurc whole South. They are hardy, make delicious greens
or turnip salad and the roots make a tempting table food all through
the winter months.

Careful attention should be given to seed for planting as in all
vegetables. You want the best and most delicious varieties and
good strong seeds. Take no chances with cheap inferior seeds. The
very best, as you see below, are very reasonable in price and it will
pay you always to send your orders to Hastings.

Turnips do best on new ground or ground that has not been culti¬
vated for several years. If stable manure is used it should be applied
several months before the crop is planted as fresh manure makes
spotted Turnips, inferior in quality and with a rank flavor. For fall
or winter use sow Rutabagas July 15th to September 1st; Turnips
August 1st to October loth in this latitude; farther South they can
be planted later, and in Florida plantings can be continued all
through the winter. Sow 1 ounce of seed to 200 feet of row: 2 to 3
pounds per acre. Ready for use in 8 to 10 weeks.

GRANDIFLORA SWEET PEAS

The Grandiflora type is the common Sweet Peas that have been so popular for years.
This type produces more flowers and stands indifferent treatment better than the newer
types, but the flowers are not as large and stems are not as long. We have a big surplus
of these, hence the extremely low price. Take full advantage.

1710 GRANDIFLORA MIXED — All Colors. Made up of 60 of the best varieties of
this type, selected after careful observation of nearly 500 named varieties. These have

HASTINGS’ SWEET PEAS

This is probably the most popular flower grown today and more improvements have
been made than on perhaps any other flower. In the lower South, Sweet Peas are
grown through the winter. In the upper South plantings are made from November to
March, though January and February outdoor plantings are safest. Culture direc¬
tions are on each package.

Especially adapted to
greenhouse culture
and outdoor winter planting in the lower South. They bloom about two weeks sooner
than Spencer Sweet Peas planted at the same time, and bloom almost as freely. Try
some along with the regular Spencers. The Early Flowering type or race is the
newest thing in Sweet Peas.

Bulbs For “The Home Beautiful”

HASTINGS’ BULBS — LIKE HASTINGS’ SEEDS — ARE THE FINEST IN AMERICA

Hastings’ Mammoth Crocus

riuct a| all Cnrino Dlnnmc The Crocus is the first flower to bloom iu the
rirsi Ul dll 0|jrillg DIUUIIIS spring. Farther north it is often seen while
snow still covers the ground. In the South it is perfectly hardy and may be left in the
ground to bloom for years. Most every other thing of beauty seems afraid of frost, sleet,
snow and all cold weather, but the undaunted Crocus comes right out with its beautiful
appearance and lets us know that spring is on its way.

Crocuses may be planted for bed effects with other bulbs and will bloom and be out of
the way before the other bulbs make their appearance. They may be grown in pots and
boxes also but their natural and most beautiful effect is from planting them all through
your lawn. They grow very low and will not hurt the lawn, which can be mowed or cut
close except during the two or three weeks the crocuses are in bloom.

Crocuses attract more attention than most any other flower because of their extra earli¬
ness and delightful rich colorings at a time when no other flower is in bloom outdoors.

A charming effect is made by planting them in clumps or singly in your lawn. They are
most effective in large numbers, 100 to 500 in each bed or a part of your lawn.

HYACINTH BULBS

Culture

Hyacinths do best in a rich, light loam but do
well in any good soil. For bedding and other out¬

door planting, set bedding bulbs 6 to 8 inches apart each way
and 10 inches apart for the selected exhibition varieties. Cover
each bulb about one and a half times its own depth.

For pot culture with the exhibition varieties the most beautiful
spikes are made with only one bulb to each 5-inch pot or three or
four in a larger pan. It is essential for blooming indoors that
the growth be started in the dark. A frequent mistake is made
by bringing the bulbs into the light too soon, resulting in a
failure to bloom or weak spikes.

Potted bulbs may be entrenched or heeled in the garden and
covered with six inches of ashes or gravel for moisture and to
prevent frost damage. A bed of ashes should be beneath the pots
too, to keep out worms. They may also be kept dark and well
watered in a cold-frame or cool cellar. Keep them dark for 12
weeks and then keep them in low temperature (about 50 degrees)
for 2 weeks until top growth is well developed. Then you may
force them as rapidly as you want. You will have strong, com¬
pact spikes by keeping close to the glass or window and giving
plenty of air. This extra care is worth while.

For growing in bowls of water, start in a cool, dark place for
12 weeks and then force like potted bulbs.

JAPANESE IRIS

IRIS LAEVIGATA OR KAEMPFERi VARIETIES — This stately
section of the Iris family embraces flowers of wonderful color,
vivid yet very harmonious in the rainbow of fascinating color com¬
binations. The great size of the flowers, often 6 to 8 inches and
more across, make them all the more noteworthy. Many of them
are double, having six or more large petals.

Unlike the German or Garden Iris, they stand almost unlimited
quantities of fertilizer (but no lime) and even swampy ground, but
any good, well-drained soil should give sturdy growth and amazing
blooms if they are given plenty of water during the dry season. They
come into bloom right after the German Iris and are at their best
in June.

Tulip Borders, Including Clumps o£ Darwin, Breeder and the Pointed Tipped Cottage Varieties Make Gorgeous Displays

HASTINGS’ TULIPS

Hastings' Tulip Bulbs are the finest that come from Holland.
From our trial grounds study and from observations of large
plantings we have selected varieties for their exquisite beauty
and general satisfaction. Anyone can do well with them.

Tulips even more than ever are the most popular fall-planted
bulbs. Their gorgeous lawn displays in borders and beds cannot
be equalled by any other flower. The rich, bright colors and
lovely shades of bloom on strong, gigantic stems, many over 2
feet long, capture us all.

Some folks get confused about Darwin, Cottage, Breeder and
Rembrandt Tulips. One can easily forget these type names. They
all bloom about the same time, and do well planted together. Dar¬
wins are mostly self colors except no yellows. Breeders are mostly
bronzy shades. Cottage come in yellows and many other colors,
usually with pointed petal tips. Rembrandts are more or less
striped in two or more colors. Select the colors you want and
consider the approximate height for varieties planted in the same
bed. The type matters little and many are hybrids anyway.
£ij|f|j|>A Plant bulbs 5 inches deep and 5 or 6 inches apart
each way outdoor a half inch of sand beneath
the bulbs gives good drainage for wet weather. For house cul¬
ture or "forcing,” plant as soon as you receive the bulbs from us.
Keep cool (55 to CO degrees is best), because the slower growth
makes larger flowers and longer stems.

Finest Tulips. Plant Tulips by the hundreds this fall. Take
advantage of our Collection Offers but also get a plenty of the
individual varieties at these low prices. _ '

(500) Alfalfa or Lucerne Clover — Most Valuable Clover Known

500 ALFALFA

Alfalfa or Lucerne Clever is the most talked of and most
widely planted of all clover varieties in the world.

Alfalfa in the South will produce 5 to 7 tons of hay to the
acre each year and in true value is worth 45% more than
other clovers and 00% more than Timothy hay. It will grow
4 or 5 crops a year and it does not exhaust the soil; it en¬
riches the soil. Its long branching roots penetrate far down,
15 to 20 feet, and so loosen the subsoil that it is a gigantic
subsoiler, resists drought, and gets plant food where other
crops would be a failure. When the plants are destroyed in
order to raise other crops on Alfalfa land, the large roots
decay and produce a vast source of fertility to be used by
following crops.

Fall sowing is preferable although fine results can be ob¬
tained from early spring sowing. Get it thoroughly estab¬
lished by first preparing your land, applying plenty of lime,
and before seeding you should inoculate the seed. If your
laud has never had Alfalfa growing on it before, be sure to
inoculate the seed with nitrogen-gathering bacteria for Al¬
falfa which are necessary. See Stimugerm, Page 47. It is
adapted to almost the entire South. Do not sow on wet
ground, high and rather dry being preferable, and only cut
when coming into bloom.

Do not buy cheap Alfalfa seed. If it’s cheap, it is not
pure Alfalfa. Weeds are very troublesome to Alfalfa, crowd¬
ing it out and ruining the quality of your hay, so be sure to
get the highest grade seed and no other kind. This is abso¬
lutely essential to success. Sow in thoroughly prepared
soil, broadcast or in drills, at the rate of 20 pounds per acre.

and building up your live stock every day it is grazed.

It is an annual legume, coming from seed each year, furnishes
some grazing during the winter, and if grazing is stopped late in
March it will make a good hay crop in May. However, most
prefer to let it go to seed, thus reseeding the ground for another
winter’s grazing. In the meantime summer crops can be easily
grown on the same ground. The seed matures in time for the
land to be plowed by June first. Its growth is strong, even on
poor ground. On soils too poor for rye to get high enough to
cut. Bur Clover made a growth of 2% to 3 feet high.

504 CRIMSON CLOVER

Thousands of farmers are
now planting winter soil
building crops. They have opened the eyes of the South.

Crimson Clover is the most largely planted. It is a distinct and
most valuable annual clover for sowing in late summer and fall
in all parts of the South.

One enthusiastic grower wrote: “Crimson Clover is a vegetable
gold mine.” It will yield under fair conditions 8 to 10 tons of
green feed per acre, iy2 to 2 tons of hay, and is considered
worth fully $20.00 to $50.00 per acre as a fertilizer crop. Succeeds
on almost all kinds of soil except the very poorest, but is espe¬
cially valuable on light sandy or loamy soils. Sow at the last
working of staple crops like cotton or corn; it is now also largely
used in seeding down orchards. Crop can be grazed during the
winter and if stock is taken off in March a full crop will be made.
Sow seed broadcast at rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre and har¬
row in lightly. Inoculation of seed will practically insure success.

400 DWARF ESSEX RAPE

DESCRIPTION — Rape in its top growth looks very much like Rutabaga
Turnips but it does not form a bulbous root. According to soil and season,
it grows 15 to 30 inches high, making a splendid green feed and forage crop
relished by all kinds of stock but principally planted for hogs and poultry.
It is also popular for “greens” on the table and is a fine substitute for turnip
or spinach greens. Rape is very hardy, standing any ordinary cold in the
Cotton Belt or farther South. It is ready for grazing in 8 to 10 weeks from
planting, with its broad, succulent .eaves, and we know of no crop planted
during the fall and winter that will bring as great returns for such a little
expenditure of time and money for seed.

CULTURE — I 'low and harrow your land down fine. Plant any time dur¬
ing the late summer, fall or winter, August to April, at the rate of lo pounds
per acre broadcast or 3 to 4 pounds per acre if planted in drills like turnips.
If broadcast, cover the seed by a light harrowing. If there is a showery
season Rape may be planted between the corn rows at the last working. It
is an extra quick growing green forage plant for use any time during the
fall, winter and spring when green feed is especially needed.

RECOMMENDATION — Rape makes good greens for the table, is partic¬
ularly fine as a green feed for poultry, is relished by cows, sheep and all
other live stock, but is especially recommended for hogs. At one of the Exper¬
iment Stations one acre of Rape was used, in connection with a small grain
ration, to pasture 20 hogs for 3 months. Rape is easily grown, fast growing,
hardy and is ready for grazing or green feed much sooner than rye, oats,
wheat or barley. It puts and keeps stock in fine condition. Seed is cheap and
results are great. You certainly should plant Rape for hogs and poultry.

GRAIN PASTURE MIXTURE

cqc BEST GRAIN PASTURE FOR HOGS AND ALL STOCK — Hast
ings’ Special Grain Mixture for Hogs and Cattle will supply you more
and better green pasturage during the fall, winter, spring and early summer
than any other combination we know.

Made of the finest winter growing grains and forage crops, including
Oats, Rye, Wheat and Barley for grazing purposes with enough Vetch and
Essex Rape in just the right proportion to add variety to the pasture.

This mixture acts as a cover crop, keeping the land from “washing” during
the winter rains and turning it under before the summer crop builds up your
soil. The grazing stock will manure the land, saving fertilizer and
saving spreading it. If you keep stock off while ground is wet, your
land as well as stock will be a lot better off for this grain pasture.

Don’t pick the poorest piece of land on your farm and expect good
pasturage. Use as good land as you can spare.

Broadcast at least 100 pounds per acre, 150 pounds is better, from
September until mid-winter but for best results plant early on good
land. Break and harrow land as for oats, sow broadcast and harrow
in. Give it a chance and your hogs will be well conditioned for the
smokehouse.

PRICE - Not Prepaid — 50 Lb. Bag. $2.50. 100 Lb. Bag, $4.50.

Austrian Winter Pea

ylHO remarkable new winter legume, coming rapidly to the
ILII/ front. It resembles an early table or English Pea in size of
seed, Canada Field Pea in character of vine growth. It’s a
heavy yielder, can be grazed and will put on a good second growth
with better stooling out. It makes splendid hay, excellent for turn¬
ing under, a fine winter cover crop and soil improver. It grows
about waist high, can be planted by itself or with a light seeding
of oats or rve to hold vines off the crmind

We have carefully watched this splendid winter cover and soil building crop from the very first. Trials
on the Hastings' Plantation were more than satisfactory and we sent out samples for testing in other
sections. We have watched Experiment Station trials and their directors’ enthusiasm. During the past
few years, planters have seen and learned about these winter peas first hand. They have been so happy
to find "just what they’ve been looking for” that the demand for Austrian Winter Peas has been much
greater than the supply.

We have a large quantity of seed for this season and hope to be able to fill all orders sent to us out of
our own stocks. Judging from the great interest being shown as early as this is being written, we ask
that you get your order in as soon as you can. Be sure to plant some Austrian Winter Peas this fall and
satisfy yourself as to their great value on your own farm.

This “Winter Cowpea” will protect your soil, hold and increase its fertility, furnish grazing for your
livestock, make plenty of fine hay besides, or turned under, makes wonderful green manure. Sow like

401 VETCH, THE WINTER CROP

When we speak of Vetch we mean the plant known as Sand, Hairy or Winter Vetch, which is the hardy
variety, standing severe winters in all parts of the South without injury. This is the only variety safe to
plant. Do not allow yourself to be fooled into buying the Spring Vetch either under the name of Spring
Vetch, English Vetch or Oregon Vetch. Such is also used to adulterate Winter Vetch, and if you are of¬
fered Winter Vetch at a low price, look out for it. Spring Vetch is usually worth about 5 cents per pound
and it is easy to fool the unsuspecting buyer. .

Planted with small amounts of rye, oats, wheat or barley for a support after it begins to run, \etch
makes a magnificent hay crop in spring, coming in ahead of everything else except thoroughly estab¬
lished fields of alfalfa, and at the same time leaves added fertility to the soil.

From our own experience with Vetch, we want to impress on our customers the necessity for early
planting. We have had splendid results from broadcasting the seed, mixed with oats, at the last working
of both corn and cotton. If planted too late in the summer, results will not be as satisfactory. It ma¬
tures seed in June and can be plowed under and a summer crop planted. If this is done, the land will be
seeded down in Vetch. A good stand will come up during the late summer and will make a heavier growth
than it did the first year. If this process is kept up, you will find your land growing richer very rapidly
and a magnificent cover crop produced every winter without any seeding expense. We can show fields on
our own plantation that have been changed from very poor and unproductive soils to rich and fertile
land, simply by the use of Vetch as described above. _ .

Start it making your land rich this fall. Seed should be inoculated. See page 47 for Soil Baeteriu Cultures.

Remember — there is no better winter crop in the south than Winter Vetch. We bank on it on the Hast¬
ings’ Plantation and we recommend it as highly as we possibly can. It’s a real crop.

PLANT RYE, BARLEY AND WHEAT

Hastings’ Georgia Grown Winter Rye — The Best South

WHEAT CULTURE

Write for our “Grain Book,” which gives you detailed instructions
about Wheat and other grains. The best time to plant Wheat in the
Southern States is from October 15 to December 15, giving the plants
a chance to get a start before freezing weather. In early seeding,
plant one bushel of seed per acre. After about November 15, it's
better to use 1% to 1% bushels per acre. Plant in drills, using the
“open furrow” method, the same as for Oats. Wheat is easily
grown in the South and much more of it should be planted.

RED MAY OR BLUE STEM WHEAT

This is an old favorite among the wheat growers in the South,
sometimes also called Purple Straw. It's the most generally satis¬
factory beardless variety. It's a fine, rather early, productive,
beardless variety of wheat, a standard in this section. It has always
been a rather early variety, but the strain we are now handling
ripens from a week to ten days ahead of the old strain. Good for
grain production or if you desire to cut it when “in dough” makes
a splendid hay crop. Write for prices, samples and freight rate on
amount you want when ready to buy.

FULCASTER WHEAT

This is a bearded wheat of the finest type grown anywhere. Ful-
caster is a thoroughly acclimated wheat grown here in the South
for many years. It’s strong, vigorous and heavy yielding. It makes
satisfactory crops in good seasons and bad. It’s extremely hardy,
standing our severest winters without serious injury, and a safe,
reliable variety to plant.

There are thousands of people each year in the South who plant
wheat for the first time and possibly do not give the preparation
that more experienced growers would give. To such we especially
recommend our Pulcaster, for it will stand adverse conditions better
than any variety of wheat we know. When you plant Fulcaster you
know exactly what you have, an acclimated wheat that makes heavy
yields. Write for prices on quantity you need when ready to buy.

HOW TO PREVENT GRAIN SMUT

The greatest drawback to planting grains is “Smut.” Smut
can very easily ruin a crop of grain and there is hardly a place
anywhere that is not infected. We could treat all our grain
seeds before sending them out but such is not practical nor ef¬
fective. You must treat your grain before planting. Here’s the
way to prevent smut :

Keep all barberry bushes cut close to the ground. Treat every
lot of oats, wheat, rye and biirley you plant with “Ceresan” or
“Formalin.” The day before planting spread grain on floor and
sprinkle thoroughly with a solution of Ceresan. Simple dilution
directions are printed on packages.

For Oats and Barley, 1 pound treats 5 bushels of seed. For
Wheat, Rye and other cereals, 1 pound treats 8 bushels of seed.
It surely pays to prevent grain smut in your crops.

CERESAN — F or treating grain seed to prevent smut. Order
it to come with your seed. It is a Poison, so cannot be mailed.
Not Prepaid — Pound, 75c. 5 Rbs., $3.00. Write for literature.

HASTINGS' WINTER RYE

SOUTHERN GROWN — All our rye is strictly winter rye and
perfectly hardy. It is Southern grown and adapted to this entire
section, either for winter grazing or grain production. With half
a chance it almost invariably “makes good” wherever planted in the
South. Every bushel of rye that goes out from this house is right
stock. We know exactly from where it comes. Every bushel of it
goes through our recleaning machinery, which takes out dust, trash
and light grains that are left by threshing machines. It’s exactly
what you need to make a successful rye crop next winter. Write for
our best prices on quantity you want when ready to buy.

ABRUZZI RYE — SOUTHERN GROWN

We have grown Abruzzi Rye many years and do not hesitate to
say that it is as far ahead of the old Southern Rye as the Southern
is ahead of Northern Rye. Adapted to Southern conditions, pure
Abruzzi Rye is the best Rye for the South. It stools out quicker and
heavier, quickly covering the ground and protecting its roots in
winter. It can be pastured a month to six weeks earlier than other
varieties of Rye or Oats.

For the dairyman especially, this early pasture makes it invalu¬
able. For others it is certainly worth while planting a variety that
will make 50% more pasturage or hay than other sorts.

Frankly, the best Georgia Winter Rye is often sold as Abruzzi
Rye. Abruzzi has become so well spread and mixed with Georgia
Rye that there is practically no pure, original Italian Abruzzi.
Southern grown seed, on the market. We have obtained some of
the real Southern grown Abruzzi this year, however, and offer it as
long as the supply lasts. We ask you to write for a special quota¬
tion on the amount you want just as soon as you are ready to buy.

ROSEN RYE is being dumped into the South by the carload. Most
of it is common Western Rye but Rosen Rye itself is mighty poor in
the South. Plant Southern Grown AVinter or Abruzzi Kye for success.

BEARDED BARLEY

In recent years there has been a great increase in barley plant¬
ing, especially by poultry raisers, who want it for winter green feed
and grazing. Furnishes fine grazing through the fall, winter and
spring: also makes a fine quality hay. If not grazed too long Barley
may be harvested for grain, making it a dual purpose crop. Very
easily grown through the South and your idle land needs this cover
crop. Sowed at last cotton or corn working, the only expense is the
cost of seeds. All our Barley is recleaned and tested Southern grown
winter barley. Broadcast 2 bushels per acre. Write for our best
prices on quantity you want when ready to buy.

Coilth^rrt °ats- Wheat. Rye and Barley are

9UUIIIcril *ardlll9 peing planted more and more in
many sections of the South. Y’ou no doubt need more Oats and
other grains on your place for winter cover crops, for turning
under, for hay and grain and for pasturage.

Plant for all you can use this fall. Plant a plenty of good,
Southern grown, dependable seed grains of dependable Southern
varieties this fall to see you through and with a surplus to sell.
Food and feed crops will certainly be needed.

will be on that amount to your station. It will pay you. We shall
furnish the very best grains that it is possible to obtain, the
only kind you can afford to plant.

There is a lot being said about better farm seeds and the
farmer knows well enough that he wants better seeds. He likely
knows that Hastings’ Garden and Flower Seeds and Hastings’
Specialty Field Seeds are the best obtainable. He will also likely
want us to supply him with other field seeds, the best that the
market affords. May we serve you?

HASTINGS’ 100-BUSHEL OATS

BEST of ALL HEAVY YIELDING RUST-PROOF OATS for the SOUTH

For paying, worth while oat crops the planter must have a
good heavy yielding, well adapted “rust-proof” variety, and then
strong, vital, recleaned and graded seed of that variety. In the
past too little attention has been paid to the quality of seed
planted, especially seed grain.

On our part we knew that we could not furnish the best unless
we first grew or had grown for us the best quality possible and
then recleaned it of weed seed and small undeveloped grains.
This necessitated our spending thousands of dollars for reclean¬
ing machinery, steady, regular and effective in seed cleaning.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Hastings’ system of re-
cleaning and grading increases the stand by at least 15% over
Beed not recleaned. Besides, every plant coming up is capable
of making a vigorous plant giving a maximum yield.

Oats are easier to grow than corn, cost less to make and are a
far better feed in summer for work stock, being less heating.
They furnish a combination of grain and hay feed in case it is
Inconvenient to thresh them out.

Hastings’ 100-Bushel Oat is a true strain of Southern rust¬
proof oats. For an all around general purpose oat you can find
nothing that will compare with it. Planted in early full it grows
off quickly and has proven almost as hardy as rye. Stools out
strongly and makes the best kind of grazing for cattle, hogs,
horses and mules during the winter and early spring.

PRICES — Deale rs selling farm run of oats regardless of quality
and not recleaned or graded can undersell us. So can a person
claiming to sell recleaned seed when it has only been run
through a fanning mill. It will pay you to plant Hastings’ Oats
even at double the price of ordinary seed oats. Hastings’ grains are
of the strongest vitality, over 95% germination, as clean and free
from dirt, trash, weed seed, chaff and small or undeveloped
grains as the best recleaning machinery can make them. Further,
we use new, sound bags, and give full, even weights. Lb., 30c.

FULGHUM EARLY OATS

Extravagant claims have been made for the Fnlghnm for extra
earliness, large yields, etc., which have not been borne out by
actual test. However, it is a good early oat with exceedingly heavy
straw. A tliree-year impartial test by one of the Southern Experi¬
ment Stations shows that its average date of maturity is eight
days earlier than Appier, and the yield per acre each year ranged
from eight to ten bushels less than Appier. Apparently its great¬
est value is a variety to plant for part of the crop, for by plant¬
ing half the acreage in Fulghum and half in Appier the length of
the harvesting season is lengthened and the farmer with limited
machinery equipment can handle successfully a larger acreage.

The Fulghum is the best early oat we have seen for the South.
We recommend it as an early oat only and for those willing to
sacrifice quantity to earliness. It is a clean, vigorous growing,
healthy variety for early crops and has practically superseded the
Burt or 90-Day Oat in the Cotton Belt. We grow it extensively on
the Hastings’ Plantation and know its merits. Plant some of your
crop in Fulghum. Eb., 30c. Not Prepaid — Bushel, 32 Ebs., 90c. 10

Cheap, Easy to Use — Gets Results

This concentrated, weedless manure
will make your lawn and all plants grow
luxuriantly. It is not a combination of
chemical stimulants but a real soil build¬
ing plant food — safe and dependable for
every fertilizer use. It not only stimulates
plant growth but supplies humus to the
soil for retention of moisture and air cir¬
culation, is slow acting to give plants

food over the whole season of growth and it puts new life in worn
out soils.

One 100-Lb. bag is equal in plant food value to a whole wagon
load of barnyard manure. The cost of a
load of manure, hauling it, composting
it or just spreading it will very likely
be far more than the cost of a bag of
Wizard Brand. Being dry and pulver¬
ized, Wizard Brand is convenient and
easy to use, not objectionable to handle
and it makes your lawn and garden
grow to perfection. It makes good gar¬
den soil. For excellent results use 100
pounds, one bag, to 1,000 square feet
(plat 20 by 50 feet) of lawn or garden
or flower yard. Use 1,000 pounds or
more per acre. Have the finest garden
and the most beautiful plantings in your
neighborhood this year and have a vel¬
vety green lawn with Sheep Manure.

Seed Was Inoculated

BACTERIA CULTURES

Clovers, Alfalfa, Beans, Peas, Vetches, Peanuts and other legumes
I will yield larger crops per acre if the seeds are inoculated with Stim-
| ugerm — a culture of bacteria selected and bred for maximum vitality
. and ability to form nodules and take nitrogen from the air.

. The illustration shows how these bacteria act on the roots of leguminous plants as mentioned. Stimugerm
increases the yield and quality, gives quicker growth, increases food value, supplies nitrates to companion
crops and saves fertilizer costs by enriching the soil.

Stimugerm is economical. One bu. size will inoculate 1 bushel of seeds or as much seed as you want to
plant on one acre. Simple directions for use on cans make it easy for anyone to apply it to the seeds before
planting. It pays to use these cultures.

REMEMBER ! Each kind of crop takes a different kind of culture. Culture for Group 1 is not any good for
crjy?s ln ,?UP ® or other Groups. Order by Group number. Prices are postpaid.

. , ese cultures are now supplied in Humus form or medium, which is the most popular medium and known

ii n ?10st effective because it is so easy to apply. However, we can supply Stimugerm in bottles of liquid
