Our stock is grown from choice selected and transplanted roots only, and are of the truest type and richest color money can procure. CULTURE.—Any good soil will grow this vegetable, but the most perfect roots, however, are developed in rich, fri- able 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 cul- tivation. 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 prevalent, but once up they are easier to grow than most vegetables. They are ready for table use in about two months. ; , ; Developed especially as a California Bunching bunching carrot for long distance shipping.

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 a finely prepared seed bed 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 enriched 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 apart in the rows, firming the soil tightly, and cultivate them fre- quently 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 between the leaves. Repeat this process every few days until only the top 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. This new strain of Golden Self- Golden Plume Blanching has been pronounced by authorities to be the best of all the early varieties.

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 October and protect through the winter with cold frames, which should be re- moved 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 frequent freezing and thawing. The seed may also be sown in hotbeds in March, and the plants, if well hardened, may usually be set in the open ground in April, maturing a crop much earlier than complete open ground cultivation 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 suit- able for the season. The plants should stand 8 to 10 inches apart in the rows, and the rows should be about 18 inches apart. As a lettuce for greenhouse forcing Grand Rapids this variety undoubtedly stands at the head of the list, being of quick growth, hardy, little liable to rot and remaining in condition several days after being fit to cut.

To grow sets 10 ounces to 100 feet of drill; 50 pounds to the acre. The Onion must have a clean and very rich soil. Use well rotted manure freely, and get the seed in as early 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 on top of the ground, they may be allowed to remain pretty thick, no matter if they crowd each other. In hoeing, destroy weeds and keep the ground mellow: do not cover the young bulbs with earth. Early Yellow Globe Matures medium large uniform globe-shaped bulbs in about 98 days from time of sowing Keeps exceptionally well. White Silver Skin, or Portugal Tis is the most popular variety of all white Onions; is almost exclusively used for growing sets. It is a good keeper. The bulbs grow to good size, ripening early and quite evenly. The flesh is mild and sweet, the thin skin a clear silvery white, of handsome appear- ance if the bulbs are gathered as soon as ripened and carefully dried under shelter away from the strong sunlight. When seed is sown at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre, it makes bulbs of suitable size and most desirable for pickling. , Very fine and very early variety. Bulbs when well White lid earl grown are large, round, flattened, with a delicat2 pure white skin; flesh very mild in flavor. In the South this variety is largely planted for sets. Southport White Globe Pure white, true globe form with very crisp flesh, exceedingly mild and fine grained, usually commands highest prices.

Somewhat similar to Flat Danvers in color and shape but a trifle thicker and very much larger in circumference. They are very mild, excellent keepers, rapid growers and very few go to seed. The appearance, size, quality and wonderful yields of this variety give it a prominent place among the most valuable sorts. , Produces large, well-ripened bulbs the first season from Prizetaker seed; flesh white; crisp and mild in flavor. The skin is thin, of a bright straw-yellow; form nearly a perfect globe.

Peas grow best on a light, rich, mellow soil under cool and moist weather con- ditions. 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 young pods and prevent the formation of new ones.

A better crop will be produced, A clover sod, vetches turned under ir the fall, or land which was heavily manured 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, ecause 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. If the ground you intend to use has produced a scabby crop previously or the seed shows any trace of disease, the pieces should be disinfected as a preventative. For a very early crop, run off furrows about three feet apart and about four inches deep. Drop the pieces about 15 inches apart in the furrows and cover to a depth of about 1% inches, gradually filling in the furrows to level as the vines grow larger. For main crop it is just as well to cover the eyes with four inches of soil at once. If fertilizer is used, apply it either in the row or broadcast before planting and be sure that it is thoroughly mixed with the soil so that the seed is not burned. Fresh , stable manure will cause the potatoes to become scabby. Just before the sprouts have appeared above the ground run a light harrow over them to kill the weeds and break up the crust. Continue weeding and harrowing until there is danger of breaking off too many sprouts. Cultivate thoroughly and frequently, being careful not to cut any of the roots, continuing until the vines have attained full growth and begin to spread. Spraying for insects and blight is very necessary. Red River Potato Mix will give very satisfactory results in controlling insects and diseases. The size and quality of the crop and the ability to resist disease is directly depen- dent upon the seed planted and no amount of cultivation or attention will offset the uncontrollable results of poor seed.

This feature is worth thousands of dollars to spinach growers, for with this variety it is possible to market the crop when it is convenient and advantageous for the grower to do so. Many severe losses have been incurred because cutters were not available, weather eonditions unfavorable, or prices were too low, but Early Long Standing will wait for cutters, for weather, and for prices.

All our tomato seeds are grown from stocks, exclusively for seed purposes, by the originators, experienced growers and experts. We are fully convinced of the merit of all new varieties before placing them in our catalog, and therefore strongly recommend our strains as being absolutely reliable. For early, the seed should be sown in hotbeds during February or the first week in March, in drills 5 inches apart and half an inch deep. Later sowing may be made until the last of April. When the plants are 8 or 4 inches high they should be set out 4 or 5 inches apart in another hotbed or cold frame, or removed into small pots allowing a single plant to the pot. Expose to the air as much as possible to harden. Water freely at time of transplanting, and shelter from the sun a few days until the plants are established. Cultivate thoroughly as long as the vines will permit, but the last two or three workings should be very shallow or the crop may be badly injured, especially if the cultivator is run too near the plants.

MANNS & CO., Baltimore, Md. 37 RUTABAGAS OR SWEDES Rutabagas require about four weeks longer to mature than ordinary varieties of turnips, but are more solid, of firmer flesh and therefore keep later into the spring. They are for this reason more desirable for storage, while turnips are better adapted for the early market. Sow during July either in drills or broadcast. ° Grown for a number of years in the New Canadian North and held very closely by pri- vate individuals, the seed of this variety has always been extremely difficult to procure in a true and reliable type. After three years of searching and checking in our trial grounds, we have found the correct strain and offer it with every assurance that it will soon become the only Rutabaga grown in this section. Our superb strain of this Neckless Purple Top excellent variety has _ be- come a favorite because of its hardy and productive nature.

We shall, therefore, appreciate the opportunity to mail samples and quote the very latest price on any quantity. When comparing quotations, consider both purity and germination. GRASS SEEDS KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. June Grass. (Poa pratensis.) Universally known; desirable for pastures and lawns. Sow in fall or spring at rate of 2 or 3 bushels per acre. Fancy clean seed. RED TOP GRASS. (Agrostis vulgaris.) Thrives well in any soil, but best on low land; produces a firm sod. Sow 1 to 2 bushels per acre. TIMOTHY. (Phleum pratense.) Well known variety. When ready to buy write for latest prices, whether a bag or a carload. (Bushel 45 pounds.) ORCHARD GRASS. (Dactylis glomerata.) Extremely hardy and widely known. One of the earliest to start in spring; grows rapidly; furnishes an abundance of pasture the entire season. 1% to 2 bushels per acre. (Bushel 14 pounds.) RHODE ISLAND BENT GRASS. (Agrostis canina.) Valu- able for lawns. Sow 3 to 4 bushels per acre for lawn. 1% to 3 bushels for pasture. (Bushel 12 pounds.) CREEPING BENT GRASS. (Agrostis stolonifera.) Excel- lent for pasture when mixed with other grasses; succeeds well in most situations and thrives in moist land. Sow 40 pounds per acre. (Bushel 14 pounds.) DROUGHT RESISTING GRASSES PERENNIAL RYE GRASS. (Lolium perenne.) Very nutri- tious; valuable for meadows or permanent pastures; rapid grower; most prominent grass in England. Sow 1 to 1% bushels per acre. (Bushel 24 lbs.) MEADOW FESCUE. (Festuca pratensis.) Thrives soil; excellent for permanent pastures; starts early: productive. Sow 1 to 1% bushels per acre. SHEEP’S FESCUE. (Festuca ovina.) Grows naturally on light, dry, sandy soils and mountain pastures; considered quite valuable mixed with other grasses for permanent early spring pasture. (About 12 pounds.) HARD FESCUE. (Festuca duriuscula.) Not very produc- tive, but it is of a very fine quality, and thrives well in dry situations where many other grasses would fail, thus mak- ing a desirable pasture variety.

The Clover Seed of Commerce, and the most important and valu- able of the Clover family for agricultural purposes. Sow 15 pounds per acre. (Bushel 60 pounds.) ALSIKE OR HYBRID. (Swedish.) (Trifolium hybridum.) Hardiest of all Clovers; perennial. On rich, moist soils it yields large quantities of hay or pasturage, as it forms a thick bottom; has fibrous roots like White Clover. Esteemed highly by bee keepers. MAMMOTH CLOVER. (Trifolium pratense perenne.) Valu- able with other grasses for mixed hay; ripens about with Timothy. Being a rank grower, it is largely used for plow- ing under as a fertilizer. WHITE DUTCH. (Trifolium repens.) Grows naturally in pastures in a great variety of soils and situations; indis- pensable in parks and lawns. CRIMSON CLOVER. (Trifolium incarnatum.) Being an an- nual, it must be sown in July, August and September of each year, and, the spring following, can be cut for soiling by April 20th; for ensilage, May 1st to 15th; for seed, about first week of June. Can be grown in corn, or any cultivated crop. Ten to fifteen pounds necessary to seed an acre. Cover with a light harrow. (Bushel 60 pounds.) ALFALFA OR LUCERNE. (Medicago sativa.) Prefers sand or gravel soil. Wet sub-soil being fatal to the plant. Roots 3 to 4 feet deep, and when well established lasts for years. 2 to 3 crops a year can be cut. Not recommended for pasture. BOKHARA OR WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER. (Melilotus alba.) This slightly resembles Alfalfa in growth, but is much taller, with leafier and stiffer stems. It fre- quently grows 5 to 6 feet in height and branches freely, with slender spikes of small, fragrant, white flowers, which afford an excellent food for bees. (Bushel 60 pounds.) LESPEDEZA SERICEA. Long lived perennial, deep rooted variety suitable for pasture on lands not adaptable to Alfalfa, Sweet or Red Clovers. It is highly resistant to drought; penetrates tight subsoil and does not need fertilizer or lime. Growth the first year is extremely slow and a real pasture or hay crop can- not be expected until the second year. For this reason it is advisable to sow a mixture of Korean and Sericea. Sericea survives subzero temperatures but is sometimes damaged by late freezing after growth of the new buds has started. As a precaution the second growth is allowed to go to seed thereby replacing any plants which are lost. Sow with wheat or barley in late spring at rate of 25 lbs. per acre, on firm solid soil. KOREAN. Annual Lespedeza. Superior to Sericea in quality and quantity produced even on poor soil. A good soil builder, can be pastured until August and then allowed to reseed itself for the next year. DWARF ESSEX RAPE This plant is extensively grown for forage, especially for sheep, and for green manure. Prepare the ground as for turnips and sow in June or July in rows two and a half feet apart at the rate of two and a half pounds of seed per acre. SORGHUM OR CANE EARLY ORANGE SORGHUM. This variety is similar in growth to Early Amber, but under fair conditions produces a heavier crop. It is better for stock feeding than the Amber. SUDAN GRASS Sudan, the greatest forage crop, should be grown on every farm, where either hay or pasture is desired. 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 quantities. COW PEAS There is no surer or cheaper means of improving and increasing 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. WHIPPOORWILL. A favorite early bunch-growing variety. A prime favorite in the North and West on account of its early maturity and habit of growth. SOY OR SOJA BEANS A Great Drought-Resisting Forage Crop, Producing Immense Quantities of Nutritious Food, Besides 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. BUCKWHEAT SILVER HULL. A superior variety in every way to the ordinary Buckwheat which it has almost entirely superseded. OATS WHITE SPRING OATS. Our best recleaned stock of these are Choice Northern grown, all heavy oats, which have been recleaned by us. WRITE for Samples and Prices on Most Profitable Varieties W HEAT—RYE—BARLEY.

Even in perennial borders, beds and rock gardens, annuals are very essential to bridge the span between periods of bloom of the perennials and to give desired color effects which are possible only with annuals. Many varieties can be started indoors early and transplanted giving continuous bloom from early summer until frost. Some sorts are very easily grown in late summer to produce plants for the sun- parlor or conservatory where they will blossom during the winter. Annuals bloom more profusely than biennials or peren- nials because it is not necessary for them to store up food or build root systems for succeeding years; their business being to produce flowers and seeds abundantly the first POTTED PLANTS 50c to $1.00 per doz. according to variety and size.

MANNS & CO., Baltimore, Md. 59 DAHLIAS Exhibition, Garden and Cut Flower Varieties Dahlias do well in almost any kind of soil, but thrive best in a medium loam. The tubers should be planted in a hori- zontal position, with the sprout up and about four inches below the surface; they should be set three or four feet apart each way, in deeply spaded soil. Mulch with peat moss and allow only one shoot to stand. A good plant food ap- plied just as the buds start to form will increase the size and improve the color of the blooms. If large exhibition blossoms are desired, it is absolutely necessary to disbud. After the frost has killed the flowers, the roots should be removed from the ground, allowed to dry for two or three days, and then stored away in peat moss in a cool, dry, dark place, where frost will not reach them.

MANNS & CO., Baltimore, Md. —————-_____. Superior Seeds SOIL IMPROVEMENT for therein lies the very foundation of your farming or gardening success. If so, what elements are lacking? Look to your Soil pyant food? it need acid? Does your soil need Does it need lime? How much lime? Or, does Accurate answers to these questions are worth many dollars to every grower because they often mean the difference between a successful crop and a poor crop. Save money and increase your profits by knowing the possibilities of your soil in relation to the chemical requirements of the crop you plan to grow. ; : : ; ; The accompanying chart and tabulation of varieties show that most vegetables thrive best in a slightly acid soil. It is very necessary however, to first know the pH (or degree of acidity) of your soil as determined by soil tests, before applying acid or lime, rather than by guesswork. The desired amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash should also be deter- mined as a matter of economy. Use a soil test kit and feed your soil the elements which are needed. PLANT FOOD ELEMENTS Plants require nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium (the three most important), oxygen, hydrogen and carbon (obtained from air and water) and the minor elements usually found in the soil in sufficient quantity but also supplied in the better brands of mixed fertilizers. These minor elements are calcium, sulphur, magnesium, manganese, iron and boron. Their functions are largely indirect, but very essential as they aid the chemical changes which render other ingredients more available. Calcium (lime), for example, aids in making the nitrogenous materials more quickly available and changes the physical nature of soils. Sulphur seems to exert a beneficial influence on plant growth and iron is necessary in the formation of chlorophyll. Nit is the “top growth” element needed for leafy irogen vegetables such as spinach, kale, parsley, etc. Aside from mixed fertilizers, nitrogen can be had in various organic forms as in bone meal, blood meal, tankage, fish meal, cotton seed meal and inorganic forms such as nitrate of soda (tending toward an alkaline reaction), ammonium sulphate (tending toward an acid reaction), urea and potassium nitrate. The organic materials are safest to use as they react slowly and do not burn. Phosphorus is generally the most needed element, as the continued use of manures possessing such a little of it, combined with the fact that most crops are heavy phosphorus feeders, soils worked for a number of years are practically depleted of this element. A real fertile soil is rich in readily available phosphorus. It is the element which promotes growth and vigor, flowers, fruit and seeds. Beans, corn, cucumber, tomatoes, turnips and rutabagas seem to respond to heavy feedings of phosphorus. It is available in mixed fertilizers, superphosphate, bone meal and couee ; 1 a oe is the root growing element. Asparagus, beets, Potash carrots, celery, cucumbers, lettuce, potatoes and radish all respond to extra potash feeding. Sulphate of potash is best for tobacco, lettuce and leaf crops, while muriate of potash is most beneficial to carrots, potatoes and root crops. KNOW which elements are needed in your soil Practical tests with the Sudbury Soil Test Kit will show the acidity of soil and any possible deficiency in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash. Each kit is accompanied by complete instructions and tables of plant needs. MODEL D (as illustrated)—Contains enough soil testing solutions to make 20 individual tests. $2.00.
