Build AN OUTDOOR LIVING ROOM TO COMPLETE YOUR HOME! STECKLER LAWN GRASS SEED CARPET GRASS—Splendid lawn grass for the South. Better than Bermuda for poor, sandy soil and semi-shady lawns. It is a perennial, spreading by creeping stems which root at every joint, thus forming a close, compact turf. Germinates in 20 to 30 days if soil is kept properly moist. For a closely matted lawn sow at the rate of 5 pounds per 1000 square feet from March until July. We offer only stock that has been carefully analyzed for purity: and germination. Postpaid, lb., 40c: 5 lbs., $1.75. ST. AUGUSTINE GRASS—In Florida and to an ever increasing extent in New Orleans, the shady lawn problem has been solved by the use of this perennial creeping grass. It is a deep green, broad-bladed grass, creeping by means of surface runner. It is somewhat simi- lar to Carpet Grass, except it has a better color and stays green during ordinary winters. Seed is not available, but lawns are established with rooted runners. A bushel will plant from 150 to 200 square feet, depending on how close it is set. Not prepaid, bushel $1.50: 10 bushels, $14.00. FANCY BERMUDA GRASS—The most depend- able summer lawn grass for Southern Gar- dens. Makes a tough, even, clumpless turi that recovers quickly after cutting. Lasts for years and stands long, hot, dry summer with- out injury. Succeeds on nearly all types of soil. Germinates in 20 to 30 days with proper soil moisture. For good, heavy stand, sow at the rate of 5 pounds to 1000 square feet, from March to September. The Bermuda Grass seed we offer is the finest, leaf cultivated turf pro- ducing strain. Postpaid, lb. 40c;: 5 lbs., $1.75. Not prepaid, 10 lbs., $2.50; 100 lbs., $23.00. HULLED BERMUDA—We offer this extra fancy Bermuda Grass with the hulls removed, a new process which gives much quicker germi- nation. Under favorable moisture and soil conditions, Hulled Bermuda Grass will germi- nate in 8 to 10 days, almost as quick as Rye Grass. It is more economical because half the quantity is necessary to sow 100 square feet of lawn. Be sure to specify hulled seed when ordering, as otherwise the unhulled seed will be shipped. Postpaid, lb., 50c: 5 lbs., $2.25. Not prepaid, 10 lbs., $3.70: 100 lbs., $35.00. Day Blooming, Panama Pacific TROPICAL WATER LILIES Large fragrant blooms.

Rows should be 3) to 4 feet apart and hills 12 to 14 inches apart in the row. When the cotton comes up it should be off- barred deep while it is small in order to let the heat of the sun strike the beds. As the plants get larger, shallow down and towards the last, culti- vate very shallow. Always keep the top crust of the ground broken in dry weather, as it prevents it from losing its form. Never stop plowing for wet weather until the ground turns in slices; then quit immediately until it dries off. Never lay by until the middle of August. The first week in April has been found to be the best time for planting cotton. Note—All of our Cotton Seed is free from Boll Weevil.

This drought resistance is a lifesaver to a farmer, and is no doubt due to the very extensive root system and its rank growth, with larger than ordinary leaves. We have seen Kobe 38 inches tall but usually it is 2 to 2% feet tall. We have seen yields of 4 tons per acre with Kobe. It is excellent for hay and pasture alike.

Crotalaria CROTALARIA SPECTABILIS World's Best Cover Crop. Build up your soil with this new legume. This new legume produces more humis and more nitrogen per acre than any other crop. It is not a pest and can be easily eradicated and reseeds itself each year under favorable conditions. It is used as a summer cover crop and soil builder in groves, orchards, vine- yards, etc. Livestock will not eat it, therefore you will not be tempted to cut it for hay when your ground needs it so badly. This should be planted as soon as danger of frost is past and at a time when there is plenty of moisture in the soil, and can be planted as late as July, either broadcast or drilled. Ten pounds of seed is required per acre for broadcasting and half of that amount if drilled. Grows from 5 to 10 feet depending entirely on the locality. 1 Ib., 30c; 5 Ibs., $1.00, postpaid.

In order to have them early, it is a good plan to start them in a cold frame in what are called ‘‘Dirt Bands.” This is a box 4 inches square and 4 inches deep, without bottoms. These are placed in a frame and filled up with good rich soil, and five or six seeds in each box. When the plants come up, thin them out to one or two in each box. Before using dirt bands, wet them thoroughly before handling or they will be apt to break at the grooves, as they are made of thin veneered wood. 60c per 100; $3.00 per 1,000, not prepaid.

YOU CAN HAVE FLOWERS ALL SEASON Flower seeds require a little more care in sowing than the vegetable seed. The ground should be well pulverized and light enough not to bake after a rain. Some of the more delicate and finer varieties are better sown in boxes or seed pans, where they can be handled and protected from hard rains or cold weather, the other kinds do not transplant well, and are better sown at once where they are to remain. All flower seeds in packages are mailed free of postage to the purchaser. Where there is more than one color, we generally import them mixed, as we find that most of our customers do not wish to pur- chase six packages or more of one variety to get all colors.
