Baltimore, Md. 37th Annual Catalog Tested, General Proven Farm and and Dependable Garden Seeds Supplies To Our Customers and Friends: Thousands of successful Market Gardeners are sowing Manns’ Superior Seeds exclusively by reason of the fact that they have found through experience that we have many advantages to offer in quality, service and price. QUALITY. We know our customers’ seed requirements in every detail and are capable of supplying these needs with the very highest quality of seed stock. To accomplish this, we spare no effort or expense in securing, proving and testing the improved strains and procuring the highest types of the old reliable standard Varieties. Quality therefore, is our chief aim and is of utmost importance to the grower as Well ag. ourselves. SERVICE. Distant customers are not handicapped by the miles that lie between us as our shipping facilities are ideal. We are located within easy reach of the Express, Railroad and Steamship Companies and directly adjoining the Old Town Substation of the U. S. Post Office. All orders entrusted to us receive our personal, prompt and business-like attention. PRICE. The matter of price while of secondary importance, must also be considered and we gladly invite comparison of prices on equivalent stock. Our low prices are made possible by large sales volume and minimum overhead expense. Expert knowledge of the Truckers’ needs in relation to the various vegetable types and our many years of close relationship with the best growers in America and Europe permit us to economically perform a genuine and progressive service which merits the implicit con- fidence of every seed buyer. We therefore ask your attention to the following pages, trust- ing that we may again have the privilege of serving you during the entire year. Respectfully yours, J. MANNS & Co. ORDERS.

MANNS’ SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS Representing varieties which are known to our customers and ourselves as being the best obtainable. Artichoke Jerusalem or Tuberous Rooted. Grown exclusively for their large potato- like roots which are valuable for feeding hogs and for table use, often yielding over two tons per acre. Plant in March or April, two feet apart in 3 foot rows and cover 2 inches deep. 3 bushels per acre or 1 quart to 60 feet of row. They should not be dug in the fall but allowed to remain in the ground to be gathered as needed. An ex- cellent hog feed, preventing cholera, and exceedingly nutritious. When once planted they will continuously: come up afterwards, hence for a field crop it is best to select a piece of land which is to be devoted to Artichokes exclusively and an annual crop will be produced for years. Price, %4 pk., 35c; pk., $1.00; bu., $3.50. Palretto Asparagus. Giant Argenteuil Offered at lowest possible prices con- sistent with the high quality of our —_—s tested and proven een strains Asparagus 1 ounce to 60 feet of drill; 1 Ib. per acre;-3,000 plants per acre. Asparagus grows easily in almost any good soil, but best results are obtained in well-enriched, deeply dug, sandy loam. A well cared for bed improves with age, and lasts for many years. It may be grown from seed, but much time is saved by planting roots. The Asparagus plant is slow to die down in the fall, so that the roots cannot safely be dug until about November ist. By this time the soil is so cool that the plants do not root readily, consequently many are winter killed. Fer this reason, We advise only spring planting for any point north of Washington, D. C. We strongly urge all those having enough available space to put in a bed for their own use, following carefully the cultural directions given below. If you wish to grow plants from the seed yourself, pour warm water on the seed and allow it to stand until cool; pour it off and repeat two or three times with fresh warm water. Sow in spring in drills about eighteen inches apart and two inches deep in light, rich soil, planting fifteen to twenty seeds to each foot of row. When the plants are well up, thin to about one inch apart and give frequent and thor- ough cultivation during the summer. If this has been well done, the plants will be fit to set the next spring. The permanent bed should be prepared by deep plowing or spading and thoroughly enriching the ground with stable manure or other fertilizer; a moist, sandy soil is best. If the sub-soil is not naturally loose and friable, it should be made so by thoroughly stirring with a sub-soil piow or spade. Set the plants about four inches deep and one to two feet apart in rows four to six feet apart. After the plants are well started, give frequent and thorough cultivation. Early the next spring spade in a heavy dressing of manure and about one quart of salt and double the quantity of fresh wood ashes to each square rod and cultivate well as long as the size of plants will permit, or until they begin to die down. The next season the bed may be cut over two or three times, but if this is done, all the shoots, no matter how smail, should be cut. After the final cutting, give a good dressing of manure, ashes and salt. Cultivate frequently until the plants meet in the rows. In autumn after the tops are fully ripe and yellow, they should be cut and burned. A bed fifteen by fifty feet, requiring about one hundred plants, if well cultivated and manured, should give the following sea- son an abundant supply for an ordinary family and continue productive for eight or ten years.

Beans are tender and should not be planted until the soil is well warmed. Sowing too early will often result in a poor stand and uneven ripening. Sow the seed 1% to 2 inches deep in rows not less than 18 inches apart and firm the soil to assist germination. Allow the plants to stand 4 to 10 inches apart in the row according to variety. Shallow cultivating and hoeing should be done frequently until the vines are in blossom. To prevent blight do not cultivate deeply and avoid working them while the vines are wet. Beans grow best in a warm, well-drained, sandy loam.

It is customary to pull off the lower leaves and let the plant grow on to furnish a continuous supply. e This variety is the most salable and profitable Hardy Winter sort for either the home or market gardener. The plant attains a height of 18 inches and produces an abun- dance of beautiful light green leaves, which are densely curled and crimped. It is extremely hardy and has the ad- ditional advantage of putting forth a second crop of leaves after the first have been gathered or have fallen off. This new growth of sprouts is of the finest quality and is ready for market during the winter months and early spring, when it commands a fancy price in the markets, It is better not to cut or handle the plants while frozen but if this is un- avoidable, thaw them out in cold water.

Brussels Sprouts 1 oz. will sow 500 ft. of drill or 3,000 plants. Brussels Sprouts are grown for use during the fall and winter months. An abundance of sprouts, resembling miniature cab- bages are produced over the entire stem from tip to the ground, When the young sprouts are well formed the lower leaves should be stripped off to aid the formation of the heads. Sow the seed thinly in drills in April for early crop or in early June for a late fall crop. After the plants are 6 inches high transplant to rows which are 3 to 4 ft. apart and 18 to 24 inches apart in the rows. The plants are hardy and in this sec- tion will live out through the winter without protection. The sprouts are improved in quality and flavor by frost. D * s Found to be the best variety both in quality anis Tize and productiveness. The sprouts develop very evenly over the entire stem, the lower sprouts being as tightly folded and as solid as those higher up. Consequently a ‘ large crop can be gathered. Unsurpassed in quality.

SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS Cauliflower 1 ounce to 2,000 plants. This delicious and very profitable vegetable is not as extensively grown as it should be because many gar- deners have an erroneous opinion that cauliflower is difficult to grow. Anyone will be reasonably sure of. success if the following suggestions are followed: For an early crop sow the seed either indoors or in a hot-bed in January or February, transplanting them to 2 or 3 inches apart thus allowing the plants to put forth a vigorous growth before being set in the permanent rows, As soon as danger of freezing is over, set the plents in the open ground in rows 2% to 3 feet apart and 18 inches apart in the row. The soil for Cauliflower should be Hike that for cabbage, but it is better if an additional quantity of manure is used so that the ground jis very rich. Cultivate often and thoroughly. For fail crop sow the seeds during April or May. It is well to plan so that the early crop heads before very pet weather and the late crop matures after hot weather. Plenty of moisture is needed at all stages of growth but is especially necessary when the plants are head- ing. At this time the leaves should be loosely tied over the heads ag a protection from the sun _ Cauli- flower is highly esteemed for its mild, delicate flavor and the extreme tenderness of the solid white heads and always commands a favorable price in the markets.

CULTURE. The culture of carrots is of the simplest. Any good soil will grow this vegetable, but the most perfect roots however, are developed in rich, friable soil, preferably sandy loam. The flavor and tenderness of the table varieties is secured by having a quick growth, which usually means good growing weather and proper culti- vation. Sow as early as the ground can be worked or for late crop until the latter part of July, in drills 15 to 18 inches apart, finally thinning the plants to 3 to 4 inches in the drills. The seed is slow to germinate and if sown early or on moist soil, half an inch is deep enough. When sown during the hot summer months it is well to protect the seed bed with a thin layer of chips or straw as excessive heat will kill the vitality of the seeds before they germinate. After the seed has sprouted remove the covering, selecting the late afternoon for this work. Carrots are usually quite free from pests and diseases, The usual danger from ground worms and slugs is of course always prev- alent, but once up they are easier to grow than most vegetables. They are ready for table use in about two months. E | H The most popular forcing variety, producing top-shaped arly orl reddish-orange roots about three inches long. Very early with small tops.

SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS Celery 1 ounce to 1,000 plants. Celery seed is very slow to germinate and therefore should be started indoors in boxes from February to April or sown out of doors in a4 finely prepared seed hed during April. See that the seed is not covered too deep and that the bed is kept moist, almost wet until the seeds germinate. When the plants are about two inches high thin out and transplant to a distance of two or three inches apart each way. These must be kept entirely free from weeds and when they are four inches high the tops may be cut off so that the plants will grow more stocky. The plants are usually set out in the permanent bed when five inches high and it is usually best to do this during July or the first of August. In some sections best results are obtained by transplanting in June. The permanent ~beds should be thoroughly prepared and well en- riched with rotted manure, which should be spaded in deeply, the rows being spaced 3 to 4 feet apart. Cut off some of the root and set the plants 8 to 12 inches anart in the rows, firming the soil tightly, and cultivate them frequently for a period of six weeks. Celery needs plenty of moisture. When the plants are nearly full grown they should be blanched. This is done by drawing the soil closely about the plants to about two-thirds of their height, being careful not to allow any of the earth to fall be- tween the leaves. Repeat this process every few days until only the tops of the leaves are visible. Do not disturb the plants while they are wet or the soil is damp as this is liable to result in injury from rust.

Lettuce to be at its best should be grown rapidly, hence the soil should be made as rich and friable as possible by liberal manuring and thorough preparation. For early crop sow in a-seed-bed in September or Octo- ber and protect through the winter with cold frames, which should be removed as soon as danger of severe freezing is past. Lettuce in the open ground will stand some freezing but is killed by prolonged frost or fre- quent freezing and thawing. The seed may also be sown in hotbeds in March, and the plants, if well hard- ened by having been often exposed to the air, may usually be set in the open ground in April, maturing & crop much earlier than complete open ground culti- vation would produce. If, however, it is not convenient to get the plants started either in the fall or early spring in hotbeds, the seed may be sown in open ground from the middle of April until July, selecting varieties suitable to the season. The plants should be thinned or transplanted so as to stand 8 to 10 inches apart in the rows, and the rows should be about 18 inches apart. Good seed, rich soil, plenty of moisture and sunshine, and frequent cultiva- tion will result in a successful and very profitable crop. © pies icemimesto F =f May King Lettuce.

The most suitable soil for melons is a warm, sandy loam, well worked and en- riched with rotted manure. After danger from frost is over, sow ten to twelve seeds to a hill, about 2 inches deep; the hills being six feet apart each way. When the plants have the second pair of leaves and danger from insects is past, thin out to four plants to a hill. Cultivate frequent- ly, deeply away from the plants and shallow close to them.

The Onion must have a clean and very rich soil. Use well- rotted manure freely, and get the seed inasearly as possible in the spring, no matter if it is cold and unpleasant. If onions do not get a good growth before hot, dry weather, the crop is sure to be a failure. Keep the soil mellow and clear of weeds. Sow in shallow drills, not less than a foot apart nor more than half an inch deep. As onions grow en top of the ground, they may be abklowed to remain pretty thick, no matter if they crowd each other. In hoeing, destroy weeds and keep the ground mel- low; do not cover the young bulbs with earth. It is useless te try to grow onions on poor, unsuitable soil. Three days neg- lect when the weeds are grow- ing rapidly will sometimes ruin a crop, and a week too late in sowing makes the difference be- “ tween a good and a bad harvest.

Peas grow best on a light, rich, mellow soil under cool and moist weather cenditions. Fresh manure and very rich or wet mucky soil should be avoided. . The extra early varieties are very hardy and should be planted as soon as the ground can be made ready, while the larger wrinkled varieties, which are not as hardy but of superior quality, may be planted when the soil has become slightly warmed, as the seed will rot if planted too early. For private use, sow the seed in double rows, 18 inches apart and 3 inches apart in the row; for market, in single rows 2 to 3 feet apart and 1 inch apart in the rows. The peas will give quicker returns if covered only one inch deep, and where earliness is most important .they may be treated this way. Larger pods and greater quantity will be produced if the seed is planted in trenches three to six inches deep and covered with only one to two inches of-soil. When the plants are five or six inches high, fill the trench level with the surface. This will result in deep rooting, prevent mildew and prolong the bearing season. If the peas are covered to the full depth at first, or if water is allowed to stand in the trenches the seed will not germinate or grow well. The crop should be gathered as fast as it becomes fit for use, as even a few ripe pods left on the vines tend to retard the development of the yeung pods and prevent the formation of new ones.

SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS Peppers 1 oz. to 1,500 plants. Peppers should be sown either indoors er in hotbeds early in April and transplanted to the permanent beds when about 3 inches high in two foot drills and two feet apart in the drills. The seed can also be sown in open ground when danger from frost is past but the crop will naturally be much later. A top dressing of fertilizer or poultry manure well mixed with the soil when the plants are about 6 inches high will materially aid in the production of a big crop. R ] Kin This remarkable new variety represents the result of oya g 18 years of continuous selection and re-selection on the part of one of the largest and most reliable growers of pepper seed in this country. The type is firmly established, producing fruit which is exceptionally uniform in size, shape, color and quality. The plants grow about 21% feet high, and are vigorous; compact in their nature of growth, and very productive, commencing to bear very early and continuing until killed by frost. The fruit is very large, bright and glossy and the extremely thick fiesh is sweet and mild. They will stand distant shipping and hold up well for market as they do not wilt nor become ripe near so quickly as Ruby King and other large varieties. This strain is extensively grown in the South by large shippers and under very favorable conditions a record of 800 bu. per acre has been established. It is a decided improvement upon anything yet offered in the way of a large sweet pepper and deserves the attention of every trucker and home gardener, as the quality and marketing possibilities are unexcelled by any other variety.

MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. 25 Seed Potatoes We offer only strictly first class and dependable seed, produced in Aroostook County, Maine, and in most every instance certified by the Government to be free from disease and true to type. Our prices are very low, quality considered, and are quoted subject to market fluctuations. Potatoes will adapt themselves to various soil conditions as easily as most vegetables. A better crop will be pro- duced, however, on a sandy loam which contains a quantity of well rotted vegetable matter. A clover sod, vetehes turned under in the fall, or land which was heavily maMured for a previous crop supply ideal conditions, In preparing the seed the eyes should be cut so that the-largest part of the surrounding flesh is situated toward the stem end, because the eyes of a potato always have a root system running toward that end and for that reason the sprouts cannot draw moisture from the opposite direction.

Being primarily a cool weather vegetable, turnips thrive best when planted in early spring or in the fall For spring crop sow the seed early in April, while for fall and winter use, plantings should be made from July to August. Sow in rows not less than 18 inches apart and one-half to three-quarters of an inch deep. A very pop- ular method, however, is to broadcast the seed between rows of corn or in the cultivated orchard. Proper con- trol of root maggots is effected by rotation of crops, the use of commercial fertilizers instead of manure and the application of Mag-o-tite or other carbolic acid emulsion. : A white variety, pur- Extra Early Purple Top Milan 4.-72i*s coe, Puy This, with the White Milan, is the earliest of all turnips.

Annuals are those which attain full growth, bloom and die the ‘game year, and are raised from seed exclusively. Biennials attain full growth, bloom and die the second year from ‘the planting of seed. Perennials produce plants the first year, which with a few exceD- tions do not flower until the second year from planting of seed, -after which they bloom every year and last several years. The class to which each variety belongs is indicated as follows: (A) for Annuals; AGERATUM (A) Splendid for bedding or pot culture, covered from June until frost with a mass of very attractive flowers of a tufted appearance.

Early in the spring make a trench three to four inches deep in rich, mellow soil, so arranged that no water can stand in it and plant the seed in the bottom, covering at first only one inch deep. When the plants are two inches high, cultivate; and as they grow, gradually fill in the trench. When the plants are about five inches high they should be supported by poultry netting, strings or brush. Water should be applied thoroughly once or twice a week early in the morning or in the evening. The blooms should be picked before they form pods or the plants will soon stop flowering. The following have been selected from hundreds of varieties, as being those of the highest quality in their respective classes. Grandiflora Varieties Spencer Varieties AMERICA.

Every effort is made to supply our friends with those varieties which have proven to be of most value as garden and cut flower sorts. Prices quoted are for large field grown dormant roots; or strong pot grown plants, which many ex- perienced growers prefer. We can usually fill the earliest orders with either roots or plants as preferred but it often happens that all of our roots of certain varieties must be started early to take care of our plant trade. This leaves us with a shortage of roots while plants are still available. Unless instructed to the contrary, we shall take the liberty to substitute plants instead of roots if neces- sary. Place your order for Dahlias early and avoid disappointment when the time for planting arrives. FANCY CACTUS DAHLIAS. This splendid type is considered by some to be the most beautiful of all.

It is highly resistant to drought and stands very heavy grazing. _ Yields from 2 to 10 tons per acre, is superior to either Millet or Sorghum in feeding quality,-and may be fed in unlimited uantities. : : Sow 10 to 20 lbs. per acre, 1 to 1% inches deep, the highest quality hay resulting from heavy seeding. Should be harvested just before the heads appear, in the same manner as other grasses. Cures quickly and matures as early as Millet, the first cutting being ready in about 6 to 8 weeks. Successive cuttings may be made every 30 to 45 days until frost. Highly recommended by the Government as being very nutritious and easily digestible. Being an annual, this must be seeded every year and therefore never becomes a pest. $12.00 per 100 Ibs. Subject to change. Kaffir Corn The heads are greedily eaten by horses and cattle and make splendid food for poultry, fed either in the grain or ground and cooked. Excellent forage.

Sorghum or Cane EARLY AMBER SORGHUM. Furnishes a large yield of most nutritious forage, which can be fed either green or cured, and will yield two or three cuttings a year, stooling out thicker each time it is cut. It grows ten or twelve feet high. Sow at the rate of one peck per acre in drills three and a half to four feet apart. Peck, 90c; bu., $3.25. EARLY ORANGE SORGHUM. This variety is similar in growth to Early Amber, but under fair conditions pro- duces a heavier crop. It is better for stock feeding than the Amber. Per bushel, $2.50. Buckwheat JAPANESE.

A favorite spring variety in the South, particularly where the land is rich; produces enor- mous yield, and excellent for cutting for hay. Bushel, 85c. Cow Peas There is no surer or cheaper means of improving and in- creasing the productiveness of our soils than by sowing the Cow Pea. It has the power to extract costly nitrogen from the atmosphere and to store the same in the vines and roots, so that the land is enriched and its condition improved. From five to nine tons of green fodder per acre have been produced. For ensilage they are unsurpassed. When it is desired to turn the whole crop under, as a soil improver, it is better to do so after the vines are partly dead. Cow Peas can be sown in May or June, at the rate of one and a half bushels per acre. BLACK. Quick to mature, adapted for late planting in Northern sections; vigorous grower and great yielder.

A prime favorite in the North and West on account of its early maturity and habit of growth. Price fluctuates. Canada Field Peas Sown in open weather during December, January, February and March, making large yields of most nutritious food, which can be used either green or cured for hay. It also makes a good green manuring crop to turn under, but not equal to Cow Peas. A light seeding of oats, rye or barley will increase the yield and help to support the vines when the crop comes to maturity. Ready for cutting in May and June, cures easily and makes splendid hay. Write for price. Soy or Soja Beans A Great Drought-Resisting Forage Crop, Producing Immense Quantities of Nutritious Food, Beside Being an Excellent Soil Improver. The Soy Bean is coming right to the front as a great soil enricher, as a food for hogs or cattle, both in the green and dry state. To plow under in the green state it is certainly one of the very best plants, next to Cow Peas. Subject to market fluctuations. Sand or Winter Vetch Sometimes called Hairy Vetch. The most valuable of all Vetches. It succeeds on nearly all soils and is especially recommended for poor lands, where it thrives and improves the soil wonderfully, as it is very rich in nitrogen. It belongs to the pea family, but the vines are more leafy and longer. It may be sown in the spring or in the fall, preferably with rye. It remains green all winter and is valuable for early pasturing, as well as a fertilizer. 60 pounds per acre. Per 100 Ibs., $15.00. 46 J. MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md.

Our ‘‘Evergreen’’ Lawn Grass is a correctly proportioned mixture of the very best varieties of grasses blended ac- cording to a formula which has resulted from many years of study and experience. Every variety included has its special duty to perform in the quick production and steady maintenance of a beautiful and-.permanent lawn. Soil and climatie condi- tions are provided for by including each of the grasses which flourish during the various seasons. ‘There are those which develop to perfection very early in the spring, _ some especially suited for resisting the heat of the sum- mer while others grow best during the fall and early winter. We have also included those types which pro- duce strong, fibrous root systems holding the turf in place, preventing the soil from washing and holding the moisture, greatly assisting the other varieties. Others because of their creeping nature quickly fill up the bare spots which may be caused by the taller sorts dying down; some particularly useful for their beautiful, velvety appearance, some for drought resisting qualities and others for ability to withstand very wet seasons. Both imported and domestic grasses are procured from growers best equipped to produce the respective sorts in their highest quality most economically.

EMERSON-BRANTINGHAM DISK HARROWS. For Horse and Tractor Power. If you are farming to make money, you cannot ignore the advantages and the economy of labor-saving machin- ery, and the farmer who labors along without the good implements that modern conditions demand, pays a higher price in the end. The E-B Tandem Disk Harrow enables you to do more work in shorter time and with less man labor. With one of these double action machines one man can do the work of two men with single disks in the same length of time and the work will be done better. Besides it may be equipped with either a horse or tractor hitch, which is an advantage when both kinds of power are available. Tf desired, the rear section may be detached and the front section used» alone as a horse or tractor-drawn single disk harrow. Many of our customers operating Fordson Tractors now have these harrows in use and are highly pleased with them. Quality and usefulness are built in.

E-B Standard Mowers are more easily handled, run lighter and are more durable than any other mowing- machine. The manner in which the cutter har is carried on the wheels, together with a proper distribution of the weight, greatly increases the traction power of the machine, overcomes side draft and weight on the horses’ necks, giving it a powerful cutting capacity which enables it to cut through the heaviest grass without materially increasing the draft. The gear and driving mechanism ig the three motion gear and is especially valuable in obtaining the high speed required without undue strain on any portion of the machine. This mower has many other points of superiority and we would be pleased to give you full information. Prices on request. EMERSON-BRANTINGHAM SELF-DUMP RAKE.

Poultry Fence is strict- ly a“*NO SAG” fence, as the combination of line and mesh wires, closely narrowing be- tween posts. In erecting U. S. Poultry Fence the line wires permit of be- ing stretched to a high ten- sion, which compels the We to remaiff rigid and upright without anchoring it to a baseboard or top rail. These features place it a long stride beyond the Hex mesh netting, which never fails to narrow and lengthen if you attempt to stretch it to a tension required to prevent sagging. There is no netting on the market that compares with U. S. Poultry Fence for strength, beauty and durability, and we invite comparison with other makes, feeling confident that all our claims of superiority will be substantiated.

Gonkeys THEORIGINAL Buttermilk | - Of STARTING FEED 2 © Raises Husky Chicks A ready prepared mash for baby chicks and all self- feeding young fowls. This remarkable feed—originated by Conkey and prepared through processes controlled and used exclusively .by Conkey is a complete ration, con- taining all the eléments needed for safely starting baby chicks, ducklings, goslings, guineas, pheasants, etc. This superior chick mash was the first commercial poultry feed containing buttermilk; that is why we call it the only original buttermilk starting feed. Conkey’s carries buttermilk in just the right pro- portion as an aid in prevention of bowel troubles, White Diarrhoea, ‘“‘leg weakness,” ete. The buttermilk is semi- solid buttermilk, blended with the other ingredients by the original process in such a way as to preserve the appetizing, tcnic, and other properties of the newly- churned product. Buttermilk is also rich in one of the vitamines necessary to growing birds. It is a wonderful appetizer, aid to digestion, and flesh builder. However, it is not the buttermilk nor the other in- gredients alone that causes people to declare that their chicks grow twice as fast on Conkey’s. The secret is in the combination of these materials by the Conkey method —the balancing of the ration, as Conkey alone knows how. Don’t be influenced by ‘‘cheaper’’ imitations labeled “buttermilk”—that word may be used to deceive unwary buyers—to cover up a multitude of ‘‘sinful’ grains, mill sweepings, poisonous weed seeds, musty screenings, worth- less by-products, or other poor material having little or no nutritive value. Feed It First 8 Weeks Conkey’s is all the chicks need the first eight weeks, except greens, charcoal, grit, clean water and some fine scratch grains in the litter for exercise. Give grit and water from the start. During the second week add green stuff and in the fourth week finely cracked grains, like Conkey’s Chick Grains. Prices on request. Conkey’s Buttermilk Growing Mash This mash is fed after the chicks are eight weeks old. It is balanced for rapid and even development of muscles, bone, vital organs and feathers. Like all Conkey mashes it is low in fibre, clean and always uniform. The Growing Mash differs materially from the Starting Feed—meat scraps are added, bone is increased, and corn decreased—growing birds demand a heavier die than_ delicate baby chicks. ’ Prices on request.

To produce eggs abundantly, the flock must have a good scratch grain mixture, a regular supply of green feed, plenty of water, and a good Dry Mash. One or two of these items will not be sufficient to permit the hens to do their best; all four feeds are absolutely necessary and experienced poultrymen have learned this from ex- perience.
