BALTIMORE, Mp. MANNS’ SUPERIOR SEEDS FOR 1910 Tested, True, Proven and Reliable In presenting thi TWENTY-FOURTH Edition of our catalogue we wish first to express our thanks to the thousands of friends and customers for their liberal patron- age and kind recommendations which we have enjoyed in the past, and promise them that we will use our best endeavors to merit a continuance of their confidence in the future. Truth has been our constant ambition in all our dealings and consider it an uncon- ditional duty we owe to our customers in soliciting their orders for seeds, the value of which cannot be determined until maturity. With this for our foundation, we expect to enjoy a continued growth and success of our business in the future as we have found in the past. We endeavor to make this catalogue simple, but instructive, as to the best method of planting, culture, and improvement of crops. This suggestion will be noted below the heading of each vegetable family. We also avoid bargain house exaggerated claims of merits or the renaming of a standard variety with an exhorbitant price attached. The seeds we offer are grown by expert specialists and experienced growers in the different localities home and abroad, where they are best suited to develop their perfection and maturity. All new varieties and specialties offered in this catalogue have been tested and proven by us and are worthy of a liberal trial by you. The past season has again been very unfavorable for seed crops in general throughout the many Northern seed-growing sections, and many varieties are in a very short supply, but fortunately our increased acreage and large contracts placed far ahead enables us to maintain last season’s prices, and in many instances offer some varieties at reduced figures, while the supply may last. The market gardeners’ trade, whose trade we cater to, is by far the most critical in regard to the quality of seeds they purchase than the private or amateur gardener, for they realize the fact that their season’s gain or loss is depending upon the seed they sow. Being located as we are, opposite one of the largest vegetable markets in the country, offers us a continued opportunity to observe the results our seeds are giving, and keeps us in constant touch with the trucker to know which variety is the best producing and paying stock to recommend. Our many years of personal and practical experience we cheerfully share with our customers, new and old. With best wishes for a successful new year, we earnestly solicit your orders.

Burpee’s New Kidney Wax is an improved strain of Wardwell’s Kidney Wax, maturing at the same time, but being so much more productive and the pods of larger size, they will yield more baskets to a given length of row. The plants are of an erect bush habit of about twenty inches in height. The foliage is entirely free from blight, and the pods are free from rust, very brittle and absolutely free from strings and tough fibre. The dry seed is kidney shaped like Wardwells, but a little more rounded, and nearly pure white in color, having only slight brownish markings around the eye.

The pods are of large size, measuring from seven to eight inches long and one and one-half inch broad, with from five to seven large beans in the pod. The vines grow so rapidly that they quickly cover the poles. In rich ground we would suggest planting only two to three seeds to a hill and thinning out to one plant. The vines attain a height of from ten to twelve feet and produce several lat- Wiesneyih New Stimeless eral branches, which bear profusely.

Culture.—To prepare a bed, dig out or plough a trench 18 inches wide. use a harrow-tooth cultivator and prepare the soil ten to twelve inches deep, making the trenches two to three feet apart. In the bottom of the furrow scatter bone fertilizer, which mix with the soil. and set the plants eighteen inches apart in the trench. Be careful in setting the plants so that all the crowns will point in one direction, to avoid having the roots of one plant to come in contact with the other. Top dress the plants with two inches of manure and one inch of soil. On the approach of winter level the trench with additional manure and soil. Early in the spring apply a dress- ing of kainit at the rate of 1,000 lbs. to the acre. This may be renewed every other year. Care should be taken not to cut too late in the spring, as it is liable to exhaust the plants. During the winter or early spring cut or burn off the growth, run the plow over the bed to throw the earth down, and apply manure or potato fertilizer, or both, mixing same in with the soil. To make white asparagus, the beds must be freely and lightlv earthed up each spring just before the growing season commences, One-year-old roots 50c. per hundred, by mail 75c.

WAX-POD The Wax-Podded Beans are highly esteemed for their mild flavor and handsome appearance, and by many the lighter coloring, when prepared for the table, is pre- ferred. Nearly all the varieties are valuable also for use : as Winter Shell-Beans, but are not so productive as other varieties offered on this page especially for that purpose. Being more tender than the green-podded sort, they should not be planted until the trees are well out in leaf and the nights quite warm. If planted too early, the growth becomes checked, and the pods are smaller and not so fine in appearance. 05 TURAL SIZE PRET SHAPE ano NA *AZIS WANN osvadVHS Lozay New Hodson Wax. yy (New) Hodson Wax.—In growth of vine and foliage this is by far the most vigorous of any dwarf wax podded bean yet introduced and the yield of large, handsome pods is enormous.

Qrt. 20c.; pk. $1.25; bush. $4.00. Varieties for Use as Shell Beans These are grown in large quantities for the winter market. They should be planted in rows 3% to 4 feet apart for horse cultivation, dropping 3 or 4 seeds in hills one foot apart in the row. When pods ripen the plants may be pulled up on a clear day, well dried and stored in a barn for threshing when convenient. White Marrowfat.—This is the standard variety grown for white soup beans. The plants are semi-running in habit, two feet in height and very productive. Beans of good size, slightly oval, and quite thick through. Qt. 15c.; peck 75c.; bush. $2.75.

They 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 eas- ily gathered. When planted in the garden, poles should be set three to four 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. (New) Early Leviathan Lima.—This is the very earliest. It will not only give large Lima Beans earlier than any other strain, but is also much more productive, both early and throughout the season. It is a good strong grower, clinging well to the poles, and is a sure setter of pods. The pods differ from those of other early Pole Limas in being straighter and longer.

It not only com- bines all the merits of the leading early varieties, but it is also really superior to them all in size, quality and yield. Premo can be planted as early as the Adams, for the young plants withstand slight frosts, while other va- rieties are tender and the seeds will rot if planted before the soil becomes warm. The stalks grow about five feet high, and are very vigorous, generally bearing two well developed ears to a stalk. These ears measure one to two inches longer than those of Cory or Adams, and matures sixty days after planting. Qt. 20c.; pk. 90c.; bush. $3.25. (New) Peep o’ Day.—Is of recent introduction, and is credited by many as being exceptionally early, comparing favorably with the Premo of unparalleled sweetness. The: stalks bear from two to five ears each and are very dwarf, which admits of their being planted close to- gether. Qt. 20c.; peck $1.25; bushel $4.00. Earliest Sheffield.—This new extra early Corn is the re- sult of a cross between the Cory and Extra Early Adams. It combines the robust growth and extreme hardiness of the Extra Harly Adams with the finer sugary quality of the Cory. Ears average six inches in length and are well filled with grains of medium size, arranged in ten or twelve regular rows. The grains are juicy and of fine, sweet flavor, if gathered at the proper stage. It is as hardy as the Adams, ready for use earlier, and of much finer quality. One of its strongest recommendations as a market variety is the entire freedom from smut, which destroys so much of thé extra early Corn.

In hoeing destroy weeds and keep the ground mellow; Three days of neglect when the weeds are growing rapidly will sometimes ruin a crop, and a week too late in sowing makes the difference between a good and a bad harvest. With proper manuring, Onions can be grown on the same land for a score of years, and it will become cleaner and better every year. Australian Brown.

They are raised from the finest selected strains, and the growing crops are rogued to remove all runners and improper types of growth. 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, eighteen inches apart, and three inches apart in the rows. For market, in single rows 1 inch apart and 3 inches deep, and the rows from 2 to 8 feet apart. EXTRA EARLY SMOOTH VARIETIES - Extra Early Alaska.—The earliest pea known, very uniform in growth and ripening; 90 per cent. of the pods can be gathered at the first picking.

The pods are handsomely shaped, of a beautiful dark green color, which is retained long after other varieties have lost their useful- ess. The seed is somewhat wrinkled and dented, indicating high flavor and good quality.

Its vines grow from 15 to 18 inches in height, with dark green foliage; the growth of the vine is sturdy and the pods are borne in pairs. No variety known will produce more pods, and no pods could possibly shell out better. The Potlatch is a variety from which anyone may expect great things.

They are unsurpassed for baking, frying, or making pies; while stored in a dry place they will keep in good condition until the following June. PkKt. 5c.; %4 lb. 20c.; lb. 75c. RADISH-Rrettic« You should plant only first-class Radish seed grown from se- lected and transplanted roots; this reasonably adds greatly to the cost of production, the crop, however, grown from seed procured by this method will pay for itself many times over again, and is acknowledged by all of our customers. I oz. for 100 feet of drill; 9 lbs. to an acre. For early use sow in the spring as soon as the ground can be worked, in drills, 6 to 10 inches apart, covering seed half an inch deep; thin plants an inch apart in the row. As the roots are suc- culent and more tender when grown quickly, a rich, light soil should be preferred, and frequent watering in dry weather will be found beneficial. For a succession, sow every two weeks. Extra Early Scarlet Globe (Forcing).
