Tested, Proven and Dependable Seeds FOR MARKET GARDENERS
HIGH IN VITALITY LOW _IN PRICE
Cn Our Customers and Friends
r THIS, our 34th Annual Catalogue, represents the results of our long experience and
practical knowledge of the seed business and will serve our customers with ready and valuable reference.
Our entire efforts are directed with one object in view; to produce and furnish
seeds of superior quality, and we have spared no expense or time to accomplish this result.
Being practical growers ourselves, we know that the seed purchaser’s success or failure depends to a great extent upon the seed he sows, and not being able to judge the best seed from the most worthless stock, he entrusts his orders with the seedsman in whom he has the greatest confidence. In return for this trust we have set forth the following safeguards which keep us continuously abreast with arising conditions and familiar with the seeds we sell.
1. Our stock seed is placed with experts and conscientious growers in their respec- tive lines in those localities best suited for the most perfect development of the varicus strains.
2. All seeds offered by us are carefully tested for vitality. -
3. Continued tests are made on our trial grounds under our personal supervision where our own as well as other so called new varieties are proven.
As a result of these methods, we have enjoyed the confidence and continued business of the careful Trucker Buyer to whose trade we especially cater.
Yours for service, J. MANNS & CO.

ASPARAGUS—Spargel.
One of the earliest and most delicious of spring vegetables. We strongly urge all those having enough available space to put in a bed ror their own use, following carefully the cultural directions given elow.
Beds are usually formed by setting roots which can be procured of us. 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 18 inches apart and 2 inches deep in light, rich soil, planting 15 to 20 seeds to each foot of row. When the plants are well up, thin to about 1’ inch apart and give frequent and thorough culti- vation during the summer. If this has been well done, the plants will be fit to set the next spring. ais
The permanent beds 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 subsoil is not naturally loose and friable, it should’ be made so by thoroughly stirring with a subsoil plow or spade. Set the plants about 4 inches deep and. 1 to 2 feet apart in rows 4 to 6 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 small, should be cut. After the final cutting give a good dressing of manure, ashes and salt. Culti- vate 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 15x50 feet, requiring about 100 plants, if well cultivated and manured, should give the following season an abundant supply for an ordinary family and continue productive for eight or ten years. on ss 4 won

POLE LIM A BE ANS (Stangen-Bohnen)
One quart to 150 hills; 8 to 10 quarts to the acre.
The pole varieties require a longer season to mature pods than the bush varieties, but by reason of their stronger growth are more productive, and growing on poles are more easily gathered. When planted in the garden, poles should be set 3 to 4 feet apart each way. A shovelful of rich compost or well-rotted manure should be placed in the soil at the base of the pole before planting the seed. Planting the beans’ eye Ne will be found of great advantage, as they will germinate and come up more readily.

LIMA BEANS
L Large seeded sorts. 1 quart to 100 hills, 1 bushel to the acre. Small seeded sorts 1 quart to 150 hills, 3 pecks to the acre. k These varieties are about two weeks earlier than the climbing lima; they should not be planted until the ground is warm and frost is over. Plant in 3-foot rows, dropping 3 beans 15 inches apart in the row.
The plants are of Fordhook Bush. stiffly erect habit, 20
inches in height, branching freely, but with all the branches held upright. This per- fect bush growth is strikingly in contrast to the low spreading growth of some other varieties of bush limas. The leaves are identical with that of the Burpee’s bush lima, while the pods and beans are of the Kummerle or Dreers bush lima type, but twice in size. They bear from July until frost almost unbelievable quantities of 5 to 6-inch pods, each containing usually 4 large, thick beans of the very best quality.

~ The value of these for stock feeding cannot be overestimated. The results from their use are wonderful, as is already shown in the improved health and condition of animals, the increased yield of milk in cows, and the great saving of hay. They can be raised at a very trifling cost, and yield immense crops per acre if the soil is rich.

When nearly full grown it is blanched, to destroy bitterness, in the following form: When dry gather up the leaves and tie them by their tips in a conical shape, or lay clean boards right over the plants, which thereby excludes the light and air from the inner leaves, which then blanch to a beautiful yellowish white. After 14 days or 3 weeks they will be ready for use. Tie up at different times, as it only keeps a short time after blanching.

PARSNIP—Pastinake
Parsnips are well know as a delicious table vegetable, but their value for the purpose of feeding cattle and stock is but little appreciated. The parsnip is rich in saccharine food, which adds greatly to the richness of the milk when fed to cows, while the fresh, succulent roots increase the flow of milk as greatly as does the use of fresh, green food in the spring. It is especially valuable for the purpose from its extreme hardiness, as the roots can be left in the ground all winter and improve in quality by the continued freezing.

Sow as early in the spring as the weather will permit, in drills 15 inches apart and half an inch deep in rich, well-manured ground, well dug. Cultivate similar to Carrots, and thin out to 6 inches apart in the rows. To keep well in the ground over winter, draw a little earth over the tops.

Culture.—The Extra Early varieties are very hardy, and will endure a great amount of cold: should be planted as soon as the ground can be got ready. The larger wrinkled varieties are not nearly as hardy, and the seed is apt to rot instead of germinating if planted before the soil becomes slightly warmer on the advance of spring.
For private use sow in double rows, 18 inches apart and 3 inches apart in the rows. For market, in single rows 1 inch apart and 3 inches deep, and the rows from 2 to 3 feet apart.

SEED POTATOES
Culture.
Potatoes thrive best in a sandy loam that contains plenty of vegetable matter; a clover sod or land that was heavily manured for the previous crop supply ideal conditions.
Cut the potatoes, leaving
two eyes to each piece, and plant 4 inches deep, 15 inches apart in 3-foot rows; cultivate frequently to keep down the weeds and conserve moisture, for a shortage of moisture means a poor crop. Before the plants appear above ground
run a light harrow over them to kill the early crop of weeds and break the crust.
If fertilizer is used, apply it either
in the row or broadcast before the potatoes are planted, and be sure to work it into the soil so that it will not come
in contact with and burn the potatoes.
Do not use fresh stable manure, as it means scabby potatoes.
Continue culti-
vating till the plants attain full growth and the vines begin to spread.
All our Seed Potatoes are grown in Aroostook County, Maine, by experienced and reliable seed potato growers. They can be depended upon as being strictly first-class. Our prices quoted are very low, quality considered, and subject to market fluctuation. Cash must accompany all

For early use sow in the spring as soon as the ground can be worked, in drills, 6 to 10 inches apart, covering the seed half an inch deep; thin plants an inch apart in the row. As the roots are succulent and more tender when grown quickly, a rich, light soit should be preferred, and frequent watering in dry weather will be found beneficial.

SYN Dia
SUPERIOR TOMATO SEED
All our Tomato Seeds are grown from stocks, exclusively for seed purposes, by the originators and experienced growere and experts. We are fully convinced of the merit of any new variety before placing them in our Catalogue, and therefore recommend at least a trial to our customers and friends.
For early. the seed should be sown in hotbed 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 3 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, allow- ing a single plant to the pot. Expose to the air as much as possible to harden. Water freely at time of transplant- ing, 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. 1 oz. to 2000 plants; 4 lb. to an acre.

EVERGREEN LAWN GRASS
The essentials for a fine lawn are:
First. A rich, well- . drained soil. i Second. Ground carefully worked. :
Third. A wise se- lection of seed:
Fourth. Sowing at such a time as to give the young plants a chance to become well estab-
lished before being Subjected to very dry
or very cold weather.
Too much care
cannot be bestowed
upon the selection of
grasses, aS some va- rieties are the most luxuriant in _ spring,
others in summer,
others again in the
autumn, and a com-
bination of the prop-:
er sorts is required
for a perfect carpet-
like lawn.
We have given much _ thought and made many | experi- ments to secure the best selection, and think our Evergreen mixture the best pos- sible for permanent lawns. It may be

Cultivate the same as common corn, requiring four or five pounds of seed per acre. Bush. $1.75.

Southern Cow Peas
There is no surer or cheaper means of ime proving and_ increasing the productiveness of our soils than by sowing the Cow Pea. It - makes an enormous growth, enabling the farmer to put plenty of nitrogenous vege- table matter into the soil at a small cost, and so very largely enables him to dis- pense with the use of nitrogenous come- mercial fertilizers, and has the power to j extract this costly nitrogen from the at- # mosphere and to store the same in the vines and roots, so that if the crop is cut off, the land is still enriched and its con- dition improved. From five to nine tons of green fodder per acre have been pro- duced by the Cow Pea. To grow for hay they are valuable. 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. k 2
Black. This variety is quick to ma- ture, and well adapted for late planting in Northern sections; it is a vigorous grower and great yielder. Bushel $3.00. Price fluctuates.
Black Eye. A prolific vine-growing variety of merit, seed often sold for table use. Peck $1.00; bush. $3.60.
Whipporwill. A favorite early bunch-growing va- riety; has brown-speckled seeds which are more easily gathered than from the vine-growing sorts. This va: riety is a prime favorite in the North and West on ac count of its early maturity and habit of growth. Bush. $3.00. Price fluctuates.
Canada Field Peas
These field Peas are entirely different from the Cow Pea, requiring to be sown early in the spring, making their crop ready for cutting in May or June. They can be sown in open weather during December, January, February and March, and 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 is not equal in this respect to Cow Peas. They can be sown alone at the rate of one and one-half to two bushels to the acre, but a light seeding of oats, rye or barley will increase the yield and help to support the pea vines when the crop comes to maturity. The crop is ready for cutting in May and June, and cures easily and makes splendid hay. Price fluctuates.’ Price, January ist, peck $1.10; bushel, $4.00. Special price quoted on large lots. Cotton bags, holding two bushels each, 60c. extra.
Soy, or Soja Beans
A Great Drought-Resisting Forage Crop, Producing Im- mense 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. In some parts of the South it is extensively grown only for feeding pigs. Agricultural Bulletins throughout the Southern States praise it with- out stint. To plow under in the green state it is cer- tainly one of the very best plants, next to Cow Peas, to sow on account of its soil-enriching qualities. It will draw from the air and return to the earth just the nour- ishment needed. Peck $1.25; bush. $2.50. Subject to mar- ket fluctuations.
Sand, or Winter Vetch
Sometimes called Hairy Vetch. The most valuable of all Vetches. It succeeds on nearly all soils and is spe- cially recommended for poor lands, where it thrives and improves the soil wonderfully, as it is very rich in nitro-
gen. 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 pkisturing, aS wei) as a fertilizer. 60 pounds per acre. Per lb. 25c.; per 100 Ib. $22.00.

Double Peony Flowered, Mixed. A companion strain to the preceding, but having the large double flowers composed of broad silky petals with smooth or plain edges, in contrast to the finely-fringed petals of the pre- ceding type. Pkt. 5c.; oz. 20c.
This well-known favorite is without doubt one of the most satisfactory flowers to grow, especially now that cultivation has brought forth such a bewildering variety of forms, sizes and colors. If large flowers are wanted in éarly spring, the seeds should be sown in autumn in a frame. For spring sowing, get the seed in as early as possible, and keep the ground well watered and thor- oughly stirred up to kill weeds. The Pansy delights in a rich, moist soil, and the largest flowers are borne upon young plants. While they require plenty of sunshine in the spring, the hot summer sun is apt to dry them up and cause the flower to become small. Our seed is all from earefully selected large flowers, and with proper care in growing will yield handsome returns.

INCUBATORS AND BROODERS
IDEAL HOT-WATER INCUBATORS.
The ldeal incorporates every advantage and improvement known in a first-class incubator, and is the simplest method of artificial hatching. The outside and inside walls of the incubator are made of one-inch thick California Red- wood, interlined with corrugated fiber board, which pro- duces a dead-air space between the inner and outer walls of the incubator, so that the outside temperature has no effect upon the Egg Chamber.
The lamp support is a fireproof box, which encloses the boiler in such a way that the heat is concentrated direct to the boiler and eliminates all possible waste of fuel.
The tubular tank and boiler is made of pure copper, and guaranteed against leaks. By filling the tank with hot water in starting the incubator, a temperature up to 103 degrees can be obtained in less than two hours. The Ideal is furnished complete with all necessary fixtures, attachments and instruction book to operate same success- fully.
