FOR MARKET GARDENERS and other judicious and careful growers who sow the best. FORREST AND HILLEN STS. : AT BELAIR MARKET BALTIMORE, MD. Varieties of Special Merit UR general stocks are unexcelled in quality and better seeds cannot be purchased at any price. O The following recently improved strains, however, are worthy of special consideration and should be grown by every progressive market gardener. BEANS BEET ASGROW VALENTINE—This new Black Valentine without r strings was grown by market gardeners for the first time in 1931. It is as hardy, early and prolific as the old Black Valentine. May be planted very early, and produces pods long, straight, round, stringless, meaty, a first-class shipper, and of excellent table quality. Qt., 30c; pk., $1.75; bu., $6.50. ERFURT SPECIAL (NEW)—If you grow Italian varieties of FAVA, BROAD BEANS, ERFURT BEANS, be sure to grow Erfurt Specialthis year in preference to any other variety. It is much earlier, extremely large and of excellent quality., Qt., 40c; pk., $2.50; bu., $9.00. Manns’ New Model Beets Grown by Rohe Bros. NEW RUBY GEM AND NEW MODEL ARE TWO REAL MONEY MAKERS, SEE PAGE 7 CABBAGE *YELLOWS RESISTANT VARIETIES—The State of Wis- consin and several other State Departments of Agriculture have for a number of years been working on the best com- mercial cabbage varieties, adapting them to resist yellows or wilt. It is now possible with these resistant stocks to grow cabbage successfully even on diseased land, by sowing seed which is grown under special conditions to make it resistant. While the cost of this seed is somewhat higher than non-resistant seed, there is the added advantage of securing stock which has been reselected for conformity to true type and heading quality. Therefore these improved varieties are most desirable for both diseased and clean Asgrow Valentine ground. See pages 10 and 11.

Pole beans do not bear as early as the bush varieties but they are more productive, their bearing season is longer and they are more easily gathered. They succeed best in a 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 to a pole. By placing the seed eyes down they will germinate more quickly and for this reason are less liable to rot. Cultivate frequently but shallow. ; The Early Leviathan stands supreme because of its combined Early Leviathan qualities, earliness, size and productiveness.

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.

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 plant- ings 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 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 feet apart and 2 feet apart in the rows; these will mature from September to November.

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. a eae see is new strain o olden elf- Golden Plume Blanching has been pronounced by authorities to be the best of all the early varieties.

New York or Wonderful LETTUCE 1 ounce to 2,500 plants; 3 pounds per acre. 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. All-Heart Lettuce A very bright green and attrac- tive variety.

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 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 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.

With Improved Advance the grower can produce a crop which will stand superior in appearance and quality, in compe- tition with the other extra earlies and command the fancy prices of an early market. ? Dr. Fred J. Pritchard of the U. S. Dept. Break O Day of Agriculture describes his new crea- tion as follows: “Very productive, early variety, highly re- sistant to wilt and somewhat resistant to blights. Fruits large, smooth, meaty, red, globular.” It is a cross between Marglobe and Marvana combining the quality, appearance and yield of Marglobe with the early type vine growth of Marvana. Both parent stocks are dis- ease resistant. Trials in Florida, and in the North indicate that Break O’Day will become the most important early tomato, as it is about ten days earlier than Marglobe, and while it is slightly smaller it is an excellent shipper as well as a good canners variety. Dr. Pritchard’s success in plant breeding and his recom- mendation of this variety should lead every market gardener to make at least a trial planting for comparison with present favorites. ? ; This is an _ ex- Sparks Earliana tremely early vari- ety and produces large clusters of fair-size fruits, which are very uniform in size and shape.

Very pro- lific, with liberal foliage to protect the fruit from the sun. The beautiful scarlet-red fruit is set in clusters of 5 or more. Its great characteristic is that it ripens each set- ting of fruit nearly all at once, and ripens evenly all over up to the stem. I want to say a word of praise for your special strain of Bonny Best Tomato. For heavy cropping, large size, and earliness and smoothness, it can not be beat. It will suit any critical market gardener if he wants the best strain obtainable.

[35] 7 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- ea 2 ee come a favorite because of its hardy and productive nature. ; ; ar, . : Mr. R. Bunk grows Manns’ New Canadian Rutabaga Aa is sweet and solid, excellent for table use or stock very successfully in Anne Arundel County TURNIPS 1 oz. to 150 feet of drill; 1 lb. per acre. 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 popular method, however, is to broadcast the seed between rows of corn or in the cultivated orchard. Proper control of root maggots is effected by rotation of crops, the use of commercial fertilizers in- stead of manure and the application of Mag-o-tite or other carbolic acid emulsion. ; Pure white all over and perfectly Extra Early Six Weeks inure white al oer uae , A white variety, pur- Extra Early Purple Top Milan 4% hit: x3ugty, poe This, with the White Milan, is the earliest of all turnips.

GRASS SEEDS KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. June Grass. Universally known; desirable for pastures and lawns. in fall or spring at rate of 2 or 3 bushels per acre. 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 earload. (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.) TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS. (Avena elatior.) Used for soiling. Succeeds well in sandy lands, and owing to its long, fibrous roots, stands cold and drought well. Sow 3 bushels per acre. (Bushel 10 pounds.) SWEET VERNAL. (Anthoxanthum odoratum.) Very frag- rant, especially when bruised or cut. Mixed with other grasses for pasture it is quite valuable, as it starts early in the spring and grows until late in the fall. (Bushel 10 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.) WOOD MEADOW GRASS. (Poa nemoralis.) Recommended especially for low, wet pasture, or for lawns in damp, wet situations.

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.) This Clover claims to bear the palm as a forage plant, coming earliest in spring and remaining latest in fall. It delights in plenty of sun, being a veritable child of the sun; must be sown at the rate of from 10 to 25 pounds of seed per acre on well drained, well pulverized, deep soil after danger of freezing is over, and prefers sand or gravel sub-soil. Wet sub-soil is 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. (Bushel 60 pounds.) 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.) JAPAN CLOVER. This makes most nutritious and desirable summer pasture. Grows well and spreads rapidly on poor lands, hillside and under the shade of trees. (Bushel 25 pounds.) 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 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. 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. YCLONE™ SEED SowER SS i THe SOWER THAT SCATTERS EVENLY Has a national reputation as absolutely the best hand sower on the market. Price—$2.50 each Postpaid 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. Sow 10 to 20 pounds 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 ae 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. 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. 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. 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. BUCKWHEAT JAPANESE. This variety yields very largely. The kernels are larger than other sorts, but owing to its branching quali- ties it need not be sown so thickly. 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. RUST-PROOF OATS. A favorite spring variety in the South, particularly where the land is rich; produces enor- mous yield, and excellent for cutting for hay.

McWHORTER FERTILIZER DISTRIBUTORS McWhorter Fertilizer Distributors have been used for many years with great success and have features not to be found on any other fertilizer distributor. The McWhorter does not depend on gravity for feeding fertilizer, but positive belt force feed which can be adjusted to feed any amount required. The spouts are adjustable and can be set to feed the number of rows desired, or to broadcast. Each set of spouts can be adjusted to feed any amount of lime or fer- tilizer desired from a few pounds to over a ton per acre. The feed adjustment of each set of spouts is regulated inde- pendently. By moving a lever the entire machine can be shut off while going to or from the field. The hopper on the larger machines is so constructed that it sits down over the wheels. This patented feature brings the hopper very close to the ground, thereby eliminating waste of material on windy days, and making the loading much easier.

BARRED PLYMOUTH ROCKS First distinctively American breed and still the most popu- lar of the all-purpose breeds. Barred Rocks are hardy and vigorous; excellent winter lay- ers, and also preferred by experienced buyers of table fowl because of their abundant breast meat and bright yellow skin. Easy to raise and will thrive anywhere. Barred Plymouth Rock BUFF ORPINGTONS A choice table bird—either as broiler or roaster. They develop rapidly, eight-week-old cockerels often weighing two pounds. They are excellent winter layers, stately in appear- abe with long, round deep bodies, full breasts and broad acks. JERSEY BLACK GIANTS This new breed is becoming more popular every year. The plumage is lustrous greenish black, skin a rich yellow, finest table fowl, extremely large and heavy; excellent layers of large brown eggs. WHITE LEGHORNS Most widely used breed of chickens, being the best of all for egg production. The strain which we offer are bred to suit the require- ments of commercial egg farms and every possible means has been employed in developing the stock for this purpose. White Leghorn WHITE WYANDOTTES One of the oldest and most popular of all American breeds, and ranking among the highest as egg producers. They have broad backs, deep round bodies, large red rose combs, yellow skin, and heavy close fitting plumage which enables them to withstand cold weather. Very striking in appearance; unsur- passed for table fowl. i A a White Wyandotte RHODE ISLAND RED One of the best layers of the heavy breeds and an excellent table fowl. Somewhat rangier than Plymouth Rocks but the strongest competitor. A very profitable breed for the farmer. They are universally popular, however, with all poultrymen. WHITE ROCKS Differ from Barred Rocks only in their plumage. Quiet and easily confined. Popular be- cause of their beauty, produc- tiveness and value for market purposes; they dress easily hav- ing no dark pin feathers. Not- able layers of large brown eggs.

[59] UNITED STATES POULTRY NETTING United States Poultry Fence is strictly a “NO SAG” fence, as the combination of line and mesh wires, closely woven, prevents any lengthening or nar- rowing between posts. In erecting U.S. Poultry Fence the line wires per- mit of being stretched to a high tension, which com- pels the fence to remain rigid and upright without an- choring it to a baseboard or top rail. These fea- tures 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 tention 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. Made of No. 19 hard steel wire, double twisted and gal- vanized after weaving. 2-inch Mesh—Put up in Rolls of 150 feet 19 guage 20 guage CHAE StS.

CHANNELDRAIN ROOFING I | \ \ WATER FROM\ eae ABOVES Ey Made of COP-R-LOY The Copper-Alloyed Steel That Resists Rust and Corrosion IT DRAINS OFF. NEVER FALLS > BELOW Channeldrain has a barrier to leaks—a vertical wall run- ning the entire length of the lap—and no water gets by this wall. The channel formed by the patented design of Chan- neldrain roofing carries off the water before it can mount the ridge. This means that Channeldrain roofing goes far- ther than other metal roofing in doing what roofing is intended to do—IT DRAINS OFF ALL THE WATER THAT FALLS ON THE ROOF, permitting the surface to dry quickly and prevents rust under the laps and around nail holes. It is easy to understand the economy in roofing that has these advantages—and only Channeldrain has them. You can apply Channeldrain yourself and enjoy the supe- rior benefits of this modern patented roofing, with freedom from repairs through long years to come. money for you. 28 gauge, 514c per square foot.
