many of our customers. Pkt. 10c; oz., 15c; %4 Ib., 30c; Ib.,
$1.00.

CURLED PERFECTION—An improved dwarf type, specially
rogued and developed from a privately held American stock.

ance of the rich, tender, well-filled ears make it a very
desirable sort for the Market Gardener. Qt., 30c; pk., $1.50;
bu., $5.00.

market corn we ever have known. It can be planted ex-

RADISH

SCARLET GLOBE No. 8—So uniform in its maturity that
each sowing can be entirely gathered and bunched at one
pulling, with practically no waste. This means more bunches
per row, more time saved in bunching, and the ground ready
for the next crop a week earlier. % lb., 25c; Ib., 75c; 10

tionally smooth for such an early variety. Pkt., 10c; 0z.,
50c; 14 Ib., $1.75; Ib., $6.00.

MANNS’ SPECIAL STRAIN BONNY BEST—Our special
strain of Bonny Best has become a favorite among large
growers for the early market. It is truly so superior to
the ordinary stocks that it might rightfully be considered a
new variety. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 30c; %4 lb., $1.00; Ib., $3.50.

RUTGERS—A distinctly new tomato developed under the
direction of Prof. L. G. Schermerhorn of the New Jersey
Agr. Experiment Station. The fruits begin ripening at the
center, are highly colored throughout and have a thick wall
structure with very small seed cavity. In comparison with
Marglobe they are slightly more flattened at the stem end
and will average much larger. Very prolific and desirable
for canning, market or the home garden. (Certified Stock.)
Pkt., 10c; oz., 45c; 14 Ib., $1.35; Ib., $5.00.

MANNS’ SPECIAL MARGLOBE—This well known variety
has been subjected to so many varying conditions and de-
grees of care in the matters pertaining to seed production
that ordinary commercial stocks of it are far below the
standard of the late Dr. Pritchard’s original introduction.
By using extreme care in rogueing, however, we have main-
tained the true Marglobe type, which is far superior to
ordinary commercial stocks. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 30c; %4 lb., $1.00;
Ib., $3.50.

PENN STATE. (See page 33.)

SCARLET DAWN. (See page 33.)

NEW SUMMER SAVOY—Stands warm weather without
bolting to seed better than any other Savoy-leaved type. A

Ibs., $20.00.

ASPARAGUS

1 ounce to 60 feet of drill; 1 pound per acre;
3,000 plants per acre.

Sow in spring in drills about eighteen inches apart and
two inches deep in light, rich soil, planting fifteen to twenty
seed to each foot of row. Thin to about one inch apart and
give frequent and thorough cultivation during the summer.

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. After the final cutting, give a good dressing
of manure, ashes and salt.

MARY WASHINGTON—Superior to Martha Washington
and Washington Pedigree, in quality and equally resistant
to disease. It is larger and earlier and produces remark-
ably tender dark green stalks with very compact purplish
green tips. Pkt., 10c; 2 ozs., 15c; %4 Ib., 25c; Ib., 75c.

Radish, Scarlet Globe No. 8.

RUTABAGA

NEW CANADIAN—Grown for a number of years in the
North and held very closely by private 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. Pkt., 10c;
oz. laces, 44 1b: 403 Nb) $1225.

SORREL
NARROW LEAVED—Growing in favor with Market Gar-
deners in preference to the French Broad Leaved, on account

Burpee’s Stringless Improved

BUSH BEANS

1 pint to 100 feet of drill; 1 to 1% bushels per acre.

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 varicty. :

Shallow cultivating and hoeing should be done frequently until the vines
are in blossom. To prevent blight do not cultivate deeply and avoid workine
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.

ROUND GREEN PODDED VARIETIES

Asgrow (Stringless Black Valentine.) Fully as early as the regular stringy
Black Valentine but producing exceptionally long, oval or nearly
round pods. Extremely prolific, entirely stringless, and of highest quality.

Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod (Improved ) Vers popular and

grown by either trucker or home gardener. It combines vigor, earliness and
productiveness. The pods are produced in abundance and are handsome in
appearance, being rich dark green in color, smooth, absolutely round, meaty,
stringless, free from fiber, and of exceptionally delicate quality. Mature for
picking condition in 45 days.

if = This new highly productive strain has
New Stringless Green Pod

many Full Measure characteristics bred
into it. Its prolific nature, season of growth, length, roundness of pods and
appearance, are definitely inherited and yet to these very desirable features has
been added a wonderful degree of hardiness which helps New Stringless with-
stand adverse weather conditions better than its parent stock.

o . A very productive long, round-podded
Giant Stringless Green Pod variety, longer and straighter than

Burpee’s Stringless.

Full Measure Stringless A second early, round-podded, stringless

bean of recent introduction. The pods are
straight, meaty, and are dark green in color. They are entirely stringless and
measure 6 to 8 inches in length. Very prolific.

Dwarf Horticultural or Dwarf Cherry One of the best dwarf sorts for green shell beans for the home

garden and market and can be used early as a snap bean. As

a green shelled bean it is equal to the lima in quality while any surplus crop can be kept for winter use. The pods are 5

inches long, stout, flat and stringless. They are green at first changing as they mature to yellow splashed with carmine.

The dried seeds are large, almost round, light buff spotted with dark red. Our
special stock of this variety is superior to the old style Dwarf Cherry, being
entirely stringless and free from runners.

Black Valentine This variety has proven itself to be the most hardy

of all string beans. It will resist cold and wet better
than any other sort and therefore can be planted extremely early and very late
in the season. They should be picked as soon as ready as they will become
tough if allowed to remain on the vines too long.

Late Refugee or Thousand-To-One °te4 for its great produc-

tiveness, this variety has
gained favor for canning and pickling. The dense foliage protects the pods from
early frosts, thereby prolonging the season. The pods measure 5 to 5% inches,
are round, somewhat slender, almost stringless and of good quality.

FLAT PODDED GREEN STRINGLESS

Bountiful Extra early, green pod, good cropper, hardy, prolific; pods long,

POLE LIMA BEANS

1 quart to 150 hills; 8 to 10 quarts per acre.

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 8 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.

p , The Early Leviathan stands supreme because of its combined
Early Leviathan qualities, earliness, size and productiveness. The large, well
filled pods are borne in clusters of five to ten and are spaced over the entire vine. They
are well filled with large fleshy beans of excellent quality, delicate pale green in color.

, s¢y A very desirable pole lima for the home and market garden, producing
Carpinteria _an abundance of large four-seeded medium green pods. The color is
distinctive in having a decided greenish tint, an indication of very finest quality. The
beans are thin skinned, delicious flavor and retain the distinctly green tinge even when

ried.

Ideal One of the largest and most valuable of the medium late varieties, producing a

tremendous crop of seven-inch pods, which are filled with five to six large beans
of excellent quality. Seed large, ovid, flat white with slight greenish tinge. Splendid
for market gardeners.

King of the Garden This is the best and most popular main crop variety.

ee Vines are strong and vigorous; setting pods early and
continuing to bear until frost. Is used extensively by market gardeners because of its
very prolific nature and the immense size of the pods, which are very straight and hand-
some; of medium dark green color, broad, flat and filled with four or five large white
beans of finest quality.

Challenger or Dreer’s Pole Vigorous, productive, and quite early, producing

: : pods which are much thicker than any other
sort and filled with four thick beans so closely set that the ends are flattened. A favor-
ite among market gardeners.

Giant Podded The largest podded lima in cultiva-

tion; extremely vigorous in growth,
mid-season. Pods are borne in clusters of 6 to 8 and
measure 7 inches long and 1% inches broad. The beans
are extra large and of excellent quality.

BUSH LIMA BEANS

Large seceded sorts, 1 qt. to 100 hills; 1 bu. to the acre.
Small seeded sorts, 1 qt. to 150 hills; 3 pks. to the acre.

These varieties require no support, are about two weeks
earlier than the pole beans, and can be planted closer in
the rows. They are therefore used by large growers and
by gardeners who do not find it convenient to use poles. Early
After danger of frost is past and the ground has become Leviathan
warm, plant in 3 foot rows dropping 8 seeds to a hill and
the hills 15 inches apart.

Early Giant Bush Lima The largest and earliest bush lima; two weeks

earlier than Fordhook, very prolific and of excel-
lent quality. Pods contain 4 to 5 large, close setting beans, and are borne in clusters
of 6 to 8. Plant very vigorous and upright, often attaining a height of 30 inches.
, A most excellent variety and exceedingly popular
Fordhook Bush Lima with market gardeners. The plants are freely
branching and very erect in their growth. Four or five large, very thick beans are
contained in each pod and the plants continue to produce large quantities from July
unit front, The green beans even when full size are tender, juicy and sweet when
cooked.

TABLE BEETS

1 ounce to 50 feet of drill; 5 pounds per acre.

The soil for beets should be light, rich, fine and deeply
cultivated. Smooth beets cannot be grown if fresh manure
is used. If wanted very early, sow in hot beds and trans-
plant, cutting off the outer leaves. For early outdoor crop
plant the seeds about 1 inch apart and 1 inch deep in rows
1 to 2 feet apart, firming the soil about the seeds by walking
on the row. This should be done as soon as the ground can
be worked and for table use, plantings should be made every
three weeks. Thin out the plants to 3 inches apart. For
main crop sow in the early part of May while for winter use

they may be planted up to July Ist.
, Careful. comparison with other
Detroit Dark Red prominent strains of this va-

riety show that our stock is unsurpassed in quality and
appearance. The tops are small and upright in growth and
the roots are globular, of medium size, very smooth and of
a wonderful dark red color throughout. Very desirable for

canning.

Perfect in shape and of a beautiful
New Model red color, very uniform in shape and
size, the entire crop maturing during the same week.
Forces well under glass. This variety fills a definite
need among the market gardeners and has met with
success. Practical growers realizing the superior qual-
ity of this strain are ordering in 25, 50 and 100-pound
lots, using this one variety throughout the entire season.

Attains enormous size, pro-
Mammoth Long Red ducing thirty to fifty tons

CARROTS

1 ounce to 150 feet of drill; 4 pounds per acre.

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.

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
ground.

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 vigor-
ous 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 2% to 3 feet apart and 18 inches apart
in the row. 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

CELERY

1 ounce to 5,000 plants; 20,000 plants per acre.

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.

of Golden Self-
Golden Plume Blanching 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.

produces heads of very large size, often 12 inches or more

ground during cool weather of spring and fall. Our seed
is an extra selected strain of the true stock.

LETTUCE

1 ounce to 2,500 plants; 3 pounds per acre.

Lettuce to be at its best should be grown rapidly, hence
the soi] 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 4 very >tight green and attrac-

tive variety. It forms large,

solid heads, composed of thick, smooth, very tender leaves,

the head of the list, being of quick growth, hardy, little

To grow large bulbs 1 ounce to 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 pounds to the acre.
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.

SEED POTATOES

LET US QUOTE PRICES ON HIGHEST QUALITY SEED ON BASIS OF LOWEST MARKET VALUE

Potatoes will adapt themselves to various soil conditions as easily as most vegetables.
however, on a sandy loam which contains a quantity of well rotted vegetable matter.

A better crop will be produced,
A clover sod, vetches turned under in

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, 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. 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, Pyrox giving very satisfactory
results.

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. Be
sure of your crop and plant only the best
Maine grown seed potatoes.

Extra Early Scarlet Globe Outdoor Forcing

Light, sandy soil, rich in organic matter is essential to produce
crisp and tender radishes. For an early crop sow the seed as soon
as the ground can be worked, in drills 6 to 10 inches apart, cover-
ing the seed half an inch deep. When the plants are well started,
thin out to one inch apart in the drills. Frequent watering in dry
weather is very beneficial as high quality is largely dependent upon
rapid growth. For a continuous supply, successive plantings should
be made at intervals of 10 days to two weeks, selecting varieties
best suited for the season.

great size. It grows much larger than
other extra early varieties, but does not become pithy even
when fully twice as large in diameter and a week older;
beautiful crimson-carmine; turnip-shaped; flesh firm, crisp

as well as for greenhouse forcing.

Scarlet Globe No. 8A reselected strain so uniform

in its maturity that each sow-
ing can be entirely gathered and bunched at one pulling,
with practically no waste. This means more bunches per

also permits sowing this crop between rows of beans, corn,

etc., as a “catch crop.”

One of the most staple vegetables of the American table, possessing
highly valuable and health giving qualities; easily grown, requiring but
little attention and in sections where the soil is rich, very profitable
crops are produced.

Select a rich piece of ground, the richer the better; and for late
spring and early summer use, sow the seed during February, March and
April in drills one foot to 20 inches apart, one-half to one inch deep.
When the plants are well started thin out to 4 to 6 inches apart, or
sow the seed thinly and allow all the plants to stand.

For winter and early spring use, sow either in drills or broadcast
during August, September and October. A top dressing of Nitrate of
Soda will make a vast improvement in the earliness, size and quality of
the crop.

Holland Field of Early Long Standing Savoy for Seed

Manns’ Early Long Standing Savoy ees
early as reselected savoy but has the very valuable advantage
of standing in perfect condition, without bolting to seed, 10
to 14 days longer than other varieties. 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
conditions unfavorable, or prices were too low, but Early Long
Standing will wait for cutters, for weather, and for prices.

Long Season Very successfully grown for supplying

local markets during warm weather when

other varieties have gone to seed. The beautiful large plants

are in prime condition in about 50 days and remain market-

able for 15 to 20 days. Somewhat earlier than Juliana and

producing extremely dark glossy green leaves, thoroughly
savoyed, thick and firm in texture.

Greatly resembling savoy as the

Princess Juliana Picture opposite will show; much

slower in growth, however, and very late in going to seed.
The ideal variety for late spring sowing, as it thrives well
in warm weather and is in great demand as long as the
weather permits shipping.

Giant Smooth Leaved The most popular variety in

Holland for home use and
largely used by Western packers of fancy canned goods because
of its excellent quality and very dark green color. The flat,
extremely heavy leaves do not ship well but are ideal for the
grower who contracts by weight.

TOMATOES

1 oz. to 2,000 plants; % Ib. per acre.

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.

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

TURNIPS

1 oz. to 150 feet of drill; 1 Ib. 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.

CLOVERS

MEDIUM OR COMMON RED. (Trifolium pratense.) 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.)

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 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

J. MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md.

MISCELLANEOUS FIELD SEEDS

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.

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.

rox kills bugs
P yrox kills bug
—prevents blights

Al you have to do to keep your

farm crops free from leaf-chew-
ing insects and fungus diseases is this:
Mix Pyrox with water and spray. No
need to waste time and effort mixing
Bordeaux and arsenicals.

We recommend Pyrox because it will
not clog the smallest nozzle. It comes
out a fine mist and covers the foliage
completely, sticking to the leaves even
through the hardest rains. Insects die.
Blight is prevented. Your farm has a
chance to show what it really can do
for you! There is a size of Pyrox to
suit every need!

Nicotine Pyrox

If you have a garden patch, you will
want a jar of the new Nicotine Pyrox—
Standard Pyrox treated with Nicotine. It
not only kills leaf-chewing insects, prevents
blight and other diseases, as Standard
Pyrox does, but it also kills sucking insects,
such as aphis, thrips and leaf-hoppers.
Standard Pyrox, of course, is designed for
most commercial crops, but in the garden,
where sucking insects do so much damage,
you will want Nicotine Pyrox.

Just mix
i Byrox

with water—and spray.

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
4| 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-
euce, with long, round deep bodies, full breasts and broad

acks.

MANNS’ Quality-Bred CHICKS

Direct by Mail from Hatchery or At our Store after March Ist.

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.

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.

as the combination of line and mesh wires, closely woven,
prevents any
lengthening or nar-
rowing between

the line wires per-
mit of being
stretched to a high

* BELOW

Channeldrain has a barrier to leaks—a vertical wali 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. It will

ALWAYS SOW MANNS’ SUPERIOR LAWN GRASS

For Beauty and Permanence

Lawn Grass Seed is not a distinct standard variety which can be sold at a standard market
price, but is a mixture containing many varieties blended to meet certain requirements. The price
is determined entirely by the value and proportions of the various grasses used in the mixture.

Cheap lawn mixtures are the most expensive to sow because they contain only a small percent-
age of high germinating seed of the desirable varieties and large proportions of the cheap, undesir-
able grasses and chaff.

Manns’ Superior Lawn Grass Seed is a correctly proportioned mixture of the very best varieties
of grasses blended according to a formula which has resulted from many years of study and experi-
ence. Every variety included has its special duty to perform in the quick production and steady
maintenance of a beautiful and permanent lawn.

MANNS’ SHADY PLACE LAWN SEED

Contains only those grasses which are best adapted for
growing under trees and in shaded spots. It quickly pro-
duces an abundant and even growth of beautiful grass,
harmonizing in color and general appearance with our regu-
lar Superior mixture.

MANNS’ EVERGREEN LAWN SEED

Is a good, clean mixture of high germinating stock, strictly
pure and of low weed content. Not as permanent as our
Superior mixture, but well worth the price.
