The following recently improved strains however, are worthy of special consideration and should be grown by every progressiv- market gardener. BORECOLE MANNS’ SUPERIOR EXTRA CURLED GREEN SCOTCH. The leaves of this variety are very much more curled than the Dwarf-Green Scotch, and many more bushels per acre can be cut due to the extremely vigorous growth, which is characteristic of this variety. Nearly as hardy as Hardy Winter, and very popular with many of our customers. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 20c; V4 Ib., 60c; Ib., $2.00. CABBAGE GOLDEN ACRE. This new extra early variety ma- tures earlier than Jersey Wakefield.

Being of excellent quality and extremely early, Golden Acre commands very high prices. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 50c; 14 Ib., $1.75; Ib., $6.00 CANTALOUPE IMPERIAL. Thousands of acres of this vigorous and prolific variety are grown annually in the Im- perial Valley of California for shipment to eastern markets, and being the very earliest of all high qual- ity shipping melons, it should be grown extensively in} Maryland and Virginia.

Very prolific, Pkt., 10c; 0z., 40c; V4 Ib., $1.25; Ib., $4.00. MARGLOBE, This new introduction by the U. S. Department of Agriculture is without doubt the most wonderful development ever offered tomato growers. Marglobe has been developed primarily to resist wilt. In addition to this extremely valuble feature however, the variety has many other characteristics of merit. The heavy yields produced make this a very profitable variety to grow. Fruits average one half pound each, of a perfect globe shape, beautiful deep scarlet in color, and only mildly acid; vines grow vigorously without spreading, ‘have abundant foliage furnishing adequate cover for the fruits without too much shade, and ripening its first fruits from 90 to 95 days.

FOR MARKET GARDENERS and other judicious and careful growers who sow the best. 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. It may be grown from seed, but much time is saved by planting roots, If you wish to grow plants from the seed yourself, sow in spring in drills about eighteen inches apart and two inches deep in light, rich soil, plant- | ing 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 thorough 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 fer- tilizer; a moist, sandy soil is best. 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 small, | should be cut. After the final cutting. give a good dressing of manure, | ashes and salt. Cultivate frequently until the plants meet inthe 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 season 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. Sow- ing too early will often result in a poor stand and uneven ripening. Sow the seed 1 4% 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. For succession plant every two weeks until about August 15th.

Aids in Prevention of Bean Spot Bean Spot or Anthracnose is a disease caused by the fungus col- letotrichum lindemuthianum, which is carried in seed, soil and dead vines, from previous years crop. It is very rare or unknown in the semi-arid region of the West where our Bean seed is grown, and with this disease-free seed, the damage from spot may be reduced con- siderably by the customary methods of crop rotation, burning the refuse, destruction of weeds, and improving the air and soil drainage. For a successful crop, plant disease-free seed, and practice crop ro- tation, never planting Beans on land where the same crop grew the previous season; do not cultivate or walk through the Bean field or pick beans while wet with dew or rain. If the disease is present, it is then easily spread from one part of the field to another. Disease-free soil is just as essential as clean seed in the production of a crop free from spot.

Pole beans do not bear as early as the bush varieties but they are more productive, their bear- ing season is longer and they are more easily gathered. They succeed best in 2 warm sandy loam which has been enriched with well rotted manure. If poles are used they should be set three to four feet apart each way. After the ground has become warm and dry, plant 4 to 6 beans to a pole and when well started thin out to 2 or 3 plants toa pole. By plecag the seed eyes down they will gerininate more quickly and for this reason are less liable to rot. Culti- vate frequently but shallow.

CULTURE:—The best results are obtained from a well-drained, deep rich loam. The very early varieties should be sown about September 15th and in 4 or 5 weeks transplanted to coldframes, from which they are transplanted to open ground from March 15 to April 15. If this is not done the seed should be sown in hotbeds in February; making plantings later of course according to variety and time crop is wanted. The earliest sorts should be set out in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches apart in the rows. If it is not especially desired to have very early cabbage the seed may be sown in open ground and transplanted after 4 weeks. For second early crops sow in April and transplant in May; these will mature in July and August. The later varieties should be planted in May and transplanted in July to rows 3 ft. apart and 2 feet apart in the rows; these will mature from September to November. Cabbages should be hoed every week and the ground thoroughly stirred as they advance in growth, drawing a little earth to the plants each time until they begin to head, when they should be thoroughly cultivated and left to mature.

SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS Early Snowball Cauliflower CHINESE CABBAGE Chinese or Celery Cabbage belongs to the cabbage family but more closely resembles lettuce. It is a delicious vegetable served either as a salad like lettuce or a cold-slaw. When boiled it is even more palatable than cabbage and resembles Brussels Sprouts in flavor. For best results plant the seed late in July or very early in August as spring plantings in this section are liable to CAULIFLOWER 1 ounce to 2,000 plants. This delicious and very profitable vegetable is not as exten- sively grown as it should be because many gardeners 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 plants in the open ground in rows 24 to 3 feet apart and 18 inches apart in the row. The soil for Cauliflower should be like that for cab- bage, but it is better if an additional quantity of manure is used so that the ground is very rich. Cultivate often and thoroughly. For fall crop sow the seeds during April or May. It is well to plan so that the early crop heads before very hot 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 heading. At this time the leaves should be loosely tied over the heads as a protection from the sun. Cauliflower is highly esteemed for its mild, delicate flavor and always commands a favorable price in the markets. The best early variety in cultivation. Early Snowball If planted March lst, large heads will be produced early in June, and scarcely a single plant will fail to form a head.

Our stock is grown from choice selected and trans- planted 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, 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 cultivation. 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 if of course always prevalent, but once up they are easier to grow than most vegetables.

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 &rst 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 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 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. Golden Plume This new strain of Golden Self-Blanch- ing has been pronounced by authorities to be the best of all the early varieties. It matures two or three weeks earlier than any other sort, blanches more quickly and shows less tendency to blight or crown-rot. Distinctly larger and ranker in growth than Golden Self-Blanching; more plainly ribbed and does not grow hollow. The crisp, tender stalks are very broad and the large full plumed centers are displayed to advantage. Combining the assets of earliness, finest qulaity and appearance Golden Plume offers a splendid opportunity to Market Gardeners. Celery Growers in New York and New Jersey have met with tre- mendous success using this variety. Pkt., 25c; 4 oz., 35e.: 1 oz., $1.00; 14 Ib., $3.00; Ib. $10.00.

This is the standard celery for early use, being ready for use very early, and much superior to other varie- ties in a great many respects. Our strain of this very popular sort cannot be excelled in quality or appearance. The plants are of medium size, compact and stocky, with yellowish green foliage. As they r ature the inner leaves and stems turn to a beautiful golden yellow, which adds much to their appearance and makes the work of blanching much easier.

SUPERIOR FLOWER SEEDS SWEET WILLIAM DIANTHUS BARBATUS (P) A universally admired perennial flower, which, when once started, will last for years. Free-flowering and attractive, producing a splendid SWEET PEAS CALIFORNIA GROWN SUCCESSFUL EVERYWHERE One ounce for 50 feet of row. THE SPENCERS are of exceptionally large size, the petals waved and frilled and the general effect remarkably graceful and effective. The plants are of vigorous growth and remain in bloom for a longer time than the Grandiflora sorts. THE GRANDIFLORA type, owing to its vigor of growth, its freedom of bloom and extremely wide range of colors is well suited for mest conditions and locations. CULTURE.—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 follow-= ing have been selected from hundreds of varieties, as being those of the highest quality in their respective classes. SPENCER VARIETIES ASTA OHN. Pinkish-lavender. BLANCHE FERRY.

MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. BULBS AND ROOTS Various Dahlia Types Prices quoted are for strong tubers and well rooted sturdy plants from 2-in. pots. Many growers, have found plants preferable to tubers, and we offer plants for delivery after May Ist and until June 15th. The following varieties of dahlias are selected for beauty, util- ity and free flowering qualities. We ofler a wide range of colors and shades in each of the important types and can confidently recommend them for the ornamental garden and for cut flowers. The tubers are taken from healthy, vigorous field-grown clumps; are in first-class condition and with proper attention are sure to bloom and give entire satisfaction. Dahlias do well in almost any kind of soil, but thrive best in a medium loam. The tubers should be planted in a horizontal position, with the sprout up and about four inches below the sur- face; they should be set three or four feet apart each way, in deep- ly spaded soil. A good plant food applied 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 a cool, dry, dark place, where frost will not reach them.

OF CONMKECTS THE ORIGINAL BUTTERMILK FEEDS Conkegs Buttermilk Starting Feed This superior chick mash was the first commer- cial poultry feed containing buttermilk; that is why we call it the only original buttermilk starting feed. Conkey’s carries buttermilk in just the right proportion as an aid in prevention of bowel troubles, white Diarrhoea, “‘leg weakness,’’ etc. . The butter milk is semi-solid buttermilk, blended with the other ingredients by the original pro- cess in such a way as to preserve the appetizing, tonic, 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. 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. Durng the second week add green stuff and in the fourth week finely cracked grains, like Conkey’s Chick Grains. Prices 2} lbs. 20c.; 5 Ibs. 35c; 10 Ibs. 60c; 25 Ibs. $1.25; 100 Ibs. $4.75. Conkeys 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 diet than delicate baby chicks. Prices. 10 Ibs. 50c; 25 Ibs. $1.15; 50 Ibs. $2.25; 100 Ibs. $4.00. Conky Buttermilk eee Meer To produce eggs abundantly, the flock mus have a good scratch grain mixture, a regula; 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 ex. perienced poultrymen have learned this from experience. Our laying mash is very low in fibre and just right in protein for layers; it is uniform in quality and always dependable.

YEAST WITH cop Pie, OIL We Osis smooth brown powder in which Marmite yeast and cod liver oil is combined—by a special sealing process—in a highly concentrated form, whereby vitamins A, B, and D retain their po- tency over a long period of time. Y- Oi is Nature’s own storehouse of Vitamins A, B, and D, plus man’s ingenuity in concentrating their numbers "and prolonging their effectiveness. A small amount of Y-O introduced in the mash supplies Baby Chicks with an abundance of vitamins. Result: chicks make amazingly rapid growth, have NO LEG WEAKNESS and prac- tically NONE die. Feed the growing stock Y-O. Then their rapid development, their blood-red combs, yellow legs, lustrous plumage and alert bearing will amaze and delight you. You will experience the “big thrill” that always comes when the whole flock of pullets snap into a lay almost simultaneously and, like a great factory, throb and pulsate with life and action. One cent’s worth of Y-O will feed one hen 13 days. Just one extra egg will pay the cost and make a profit.
