It is our aim that the name Alexander printed on every package and bag shall be a guarantee to our customers of perfect satisfaction and profitable results.

STATES §O' STANDARD | SEEDS 4% 4 CO Oe It’s mighty fine to have you all say such good things about ALEX- Thanks! Thanks! ANDER’S GOOD SEED. “OE course WE KNOW how good they are, but it’s pleasant and encouraging to have these words of commendation. We like to know just how well we have pleased you, and we want to send you better seed, that you may have better results, wherever possible, each succeeding year. No one is PERFECT; there is always room for improvement, and this year we expect to do better than ever. That quotation, “A Good Name Is Rather To Be Chosen Than Great Riches,” means a whole lot. GREAT RICHES often ruin a GOOD NAME. The usual conception of GREAT RICHES is as a source for unlimited pleasure. We have noticed, though, that GREAT RICHES often bring the reverse, and that a GOOD NAME is more valuable in many ways as a source of satisfaction and pleasure. What could be a greater source of pleasure to any conscientious business man than to know that he had conducted his business in such a way as to form in the minds of his customers a feeling of absolute confidence, in himself and his business? Then, too, the knowledge that his customers have this confidence in him creates in him a stronger desire to give them better values for their money each year, by producing improvements wherever possible, in quality and service. We receive hundreds of or- ders each year from customers who just keep right on ordering year after year, and say nothing. We, of course, appreciate this evidence of confidence. It is the best proof that our seeds produce the best of results. However, just a plain request for a catalogue like this from Mrs. Ed. B. Watson, Latta, S. C., is mighty pleasant to receive, and we certainly get a lot of them. Mrs. Watson says: Feb. 3, 15.—“SEND ME YOUR CATALOGUE. MY MOTHER USED TO PLANT YOUR SEED AND THERE WERE NONE better, FEW as good.” Then at the bottom of a nice order from Mr. W. L. Compere, Rankin County, Miss., he writes, Jan. 29, 715, “HOPE YOUR SEED WILL PROVE AS GOOD AS THEY USED TO BE FOR I HAVE BEEN BADLY DISAPPOINTED TRYING OTHER SEED HOUSES.” Mrs. Alice Ulmer, Colleton County, S. C., says at the bot- tom of a good ordey, Aug. 21, 715, “I HAVE NEVER PLANTED ANY GARDEN SEED AS GOOD AS ALEXANDER’S IN ALL MY GARDENING OF 15 YEARS.” June 3, 715, W. Y. Jones, Lee County, Ala., writes, “SEND LATEST CATALOGUE. WISH TO MAKE AN ORDER EARLY AS POSSIBLE. WOULDN’T THINK of GETTING SEED ELSEWHERE for I have TESTED YOURS AND THEIRS.” W. J. Pennell, of North Carolina, says, “I CONSIDER ALEXANDERS SEEDS THE BEST ON THE MARKET. HAVE TRIED OTHERS. NONE AS GOOD AS YOURS.” Many, many more compliment and p'ease us in the same way. Sorry we haven’t room to publish all. They are part of the evidence that a “Good Name or Good Reputation is Rather to be Chosen than Great Riches.” They also con- firm the fact that ALEXANDER’S GOOD SEED ARE THE BEST THAT GROW SELECTED FOR THE SOUTH. Thanks again for your business during the past year. We wish for you the best crops and prosperity for 1916. “T plant Alexander’s Good Seed now because of the confidence I have in them and your house, through nearly thirty years of dealing with you. I am glad to say I have found your advice and recommendations accurate, and reliable, and I have made money on the crops grown from your seed.” The above is a re- mark made by one of our customers from another State, who called on us this year. We believe in selling only GOOD SEED because it means more business from each customer, and his friends. Always Plant Alexander’s Good Seed For Successful Crops Another man, one who lives here, said, “I bought seed elsewhere, because they were offered at a lower price than yours. My neighbor continued planting yours, and had fine results, while my planting was a failure. I have been fooled by low prices from the same place before, but I have now learned my lesson, and am coming back to you with my business. I find your prices are standard for good, first class seed. I always got good results from your seed, and only changed because I thought I was getting the same seed cheaper, and find they were many times more costly than yours, because of the poor crops, and total failures. The cost of the seed is the smallest cost of the crop, anyway, and I find it don’t pay to be so particular about saving a few dimes, or even dollars. Good seed is what I want, and I know personally, that you would not sell any but the best and do sell none but the best. So I’m going to depend on you, hereafter, and expect you to treat me right, and I know you’ll do that.” Insure Your Crops by Planting Alexander’s Good Seed July 7, ’15. Mr. J. V.

Alexander's Improved Extra Early Everbearing Bunch Velvet Bean The value of Velvet Beans as a fertilizer and stock food easy to produce has long been known in Florida, South Georgia and Alabama where the original Late Florida bean has been grown with great success and profit. Recently several extra early selections of this speckle bean have been brought out which seem to have some variation in type. From these we have obtained what has proven to be the HARLI- EST, MOST PROLIFIC or LARGEST YIELDING, HARDIEST, AND IN FACT THE MOST DESIRABLE IN EVERY RESPECT of the Extra Early type. Early in August it matures the seed and continues growing and bearing until heavy frost, making altogether an unusual large crop of fine large beans which are borne in large bunches, having thirty and forty in a bunch. This makes them easy to pick; in fact one man can pick by hand in a day eight to ten bushels or more and they will yield up to forty bushels an acre. This selection ef ours will prove to be of the greatest value on every farm from South Carolina to Texas. For cattle and hog food they can be fed in the field or ground in a mill—stems, hulls and seed— which makes a better feed than cotton seed and much cheaper. They make a Jarger yield per acre than cow peas; are cheaper and easier to grow. They alSo make the ground richer than cow peas do, and will grow big crops where cow peas wilt and die. The cost of gathering is less. They also make a larger growth and crop on poor ground or the richest land. It is the cheapest annual summer legume crop to seed, the easiest to grow and pays a fine profit. This New Bean Will Prove of Great Value on Every Farm Plant them on the poorest land alone or with corn; also with the corn on your best land, they will yield as many bushels per acre as the corn and on the poorest ground are of more value than the corn will be. They will increase the value of the land by making it richer in nitrogen and adding humus to the soil. The portion that is harvested for feed or for seed will bring from fifteen to forty or more dollars an acre. This bean makes a wonderful crop and is destined to save expense and bring in profits for Southern farmers amounting to thousands of dollars. One customer has already bought seed to put in a hundred acres just to fertilize the land for a big crop of oats and wheat to follow. Four quarts will plant an acre. Plant this velvet bean in all of your corn this year. ASK FOR PAMPHLET TELLING HOW TO MAKE THE BEST GROUND STOCK FEED FROM VEL- VET BEANS. THERE WILL BE A BIG DEMAND FOR THIS IN THE FUTURE. Price—Pkt., 10c; % pt., 15¢e; pt., 25c; quart, 40c; postpaid. %Bu., $1.25; Bushel, $4.50. An experienced grower has written us as follows after giving them a test: “Your Extra Early Velvet Bean begins to mature Aug. 15th, and continues till frost. They solve the winter feed problem for live stock, as they eat them greedily and stay fat on them all winter. They are a fine soil builder: are better to plant in corn than peas. We have planted two rows corn, then one of beans and peanuts in same row. Beans grow in clusters; have seen thirty pods in one cluster. They require very little cultivation and grow anywhere. You can not recommend this bean too highly, it is decidedly the best bean I have ever seen.” The Chinese Velvet Bean is a fine heavy yielding variety and is growing very popular. Homer VY. Rogers writes us:—‘“I bought of you just one quart of the Chinese velvet bean for 45 cents postpaid, and am well pleased with them. Gathered about ten bushels from the quart. They also make a lot of foliage.” Another customer near Augusta tells of a friend who got six Chinese Beans in 1913, planted them and got five vines from which he picked a peck of seed. This peck he planted in 1914 and gathered twenty-five bushels of beans. For price see page 30. OSCEOLA VELVET BEAN Is a new hybrid introduced by the Florida Experiment station. The . cross was made in 1908 by Mr. J. Belling, and was made with Flor- ida Velvet and Lyon. The Station has distributed the seed and advise that the type is fixed. The Flor- ida Station says of it: “It is earlier than the China, does not shatter out so much. Matures later than the Georgia Velvet but larger, with pods that do not rot so easily. Much earlier than the Lyon bean; does not shatter the seed so badly. Not so early as Yokahoma, but with better seed and thinner hulls. The seed supply is very limited this season.

Are you PREPARED? not to die but to live? Are you prepared to grow feed for your work stock, for your family, for your crops. Pre- paredness for these essentials is of more importance to you than battleships, big guns and a great army. In fact, without this individual preparedness, it will be impossible to be prepared to protect our country from the dictation or invasion of another nation. Individual preparedness must come before we can have collective or united preparedness, that will be strong enough to protect our rights as an independent, DEM- OCRATIC Republic. When you have grown feed for the home and stock, and have a surplus of cotton to sell for CASH, instead of to pay to the merchant for food supplies that he has advanced through the year, you will be independent. Commence preparation at once to be fully prepared in the future, to grow all of the food that you need for running your farm. Possibly you cannot grow everything the first year. Start on something, if only in a small way. If you never start, it’s very plain, of course, that you will never get anywhere. Think about your individual preparedness. The wealth and strength of Germany and France it is said is due to the individual preparedness of these people, who are probably the most thrifty people in the world. Preparedness means enriching your soil with legumes and manure. It means growing plenty to eat, so that next Fall you will have a big crib full of sound corn, a good pasture full of cattle and hogs, and stacks of hay to feed them, plenty of potatoes and’ other vegetables, and several bales of eotton to sell for CASH to put in the bank. Be prepared. Start right by planting Alexander’s Good Seed. SAFETY FIRST is the key-note or the main consideration of our work throughout each year, in producing ALEXANDER’S GOOD SEED. There is no business in which it is more necessary to be careful than in the selection of GOOD SEED. A good doctor even is no more careful in his work than a good seedsman. SAFETY FIRST also applies to the seed buyer. It is better to be safe than sorry, someone has said, and this is very true, When you buy seed. You cannot always judge their quality by looking at them, or testing the germination. The best grades of seed offered have been brought up to high standard of productiveness by years of patient and careful selection. Few people have the patience to take the necessary time and care required to select and improve seed in the proper way. That is why there is more low grade, low priced seed offered than of pure bred, high grade, extra select stock. Think of SAFETY FIRST when you start to buy seed, and then be sure you are safe by ordering ALEXANDER’S GOOD SEED. You will then be sure of getting the purest, cleanest, live, vigorous, heavy producing seed that our careful and patient work has found it possible to produce. PLANTING ALEX- ANDER’S GOOD SEED IS SAFETY FIRST with anything vou plant. IF YOU ARE GOING TO PLANT COTTON ts, 7c" Plant Goop seep, THE very BEST, THE MOST PRODUCTIVE, that you may get the largest possible return per acre, at the least possible’ cost. POOR, ORDINARY, COMMON SEED is expensive. The cost of SEED per acre is the smallest expense of any crop, yet there is no part of the process of production that is more important than the selection of good seed, the VERY BEST. You can depend on ALEXANDER’S. We do not now, and never have claimed to sell seed at the lowest price, in fact, we pay our growers more for growing our seed than part of the seed planted is sold for. We do not claim to sell more bushels or carloads of seed than any one else, as we note some firms and growers claim. Our aim is to sell the best quality, not the greatest quantity. We are building a reputation for reliability. We are proving to those who buy from us, that they can always rely on seed bought of us. Our customers come back, because as one has said, they can always depend on getting what is ordered and paid for. Plant ALEXANDER’S GOOD SEED and you will be SATISFIED, because you will get the best yield at the lowest possible cost.

Our seed are sold on and subject to the following liberal terms: SEEDS POSTP AID Remember that the prices given in this list include the delivery of all seeds by the packet, ounce, quarter pound, pound, pint or quart, except where noted. Send us the amount named in this catalogue and we guarantee safe delivery by mail in these quantities. C ASH WITH ORDER Kindly remember that our terms are strictly cash with order. This is no reflec- tion on your credit or standing, but we find it impossible to open up accounts on seed orders and conduct our business. It is just as easy to remit with the order as it is with a bill for the goods, and in almost every instance the price is named in this catalogue. Do not ask us to send an order for seeds and “you will remit on receipt of bill.”” OUR PREMIUMS Please bear in mind that on seeds in packets and ounces only, except cauliflower in ounces (no quarter pounds, peunds, pints or quarts), the purchaser may select 25 cents’ worth extra on each dollar sent. This does not apply to orders for collections, prices for which are net. COST OF SENDING MONEY In all cases where the order for seeds amounts to one dollar or nis te ei the cost of postoffice or express money order or cost of registering letters from places that are not money order offices may be deducted from the amount. STAMP On orders for seeds where the amount is less than 50 cents, we will accept postage stamps in good condition (one-cent and two-cent stamps preferred) the same as cash, but we would ask those remitting stamps to wrap them in oiled paper. if possible, to prevent them sticking together or to the order. SPECIAL EXPRESS RATES The express companies for years have given a special low rate on seed shipments. In 1914 the rates were revised on all commodities; seed however are still favored with the lowest rate which is practically the same as the old rate and to some points lower than before, the average Seems to be in favor of the customer. As a rule 15 pounds may be shipped for 35c. Exact rate quoted on application. ABOUT WARRANTY The Alexander Seed Co. gives no warranty, either express or implied, as to de- scription, quality, productiveness or any other matter, of any seeds, bulbs or plants they send out, and will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods on these terms, they are at once to be returned, and any money that may have been paid for them will be refunded. Crops are dependent for success or failure on so many things besides the seed that it is impossible to give any warranty or guarantee. This does not mean that we lack confidence in the seeds we sell, but we have no control over the goods after they leave our house, especially so as to methods of planting, cultivation and fertilizing, all of which are important factors in the success of any crop. If we should warrant or guarantee seeds in any way we could be held responsible for the failure of the crop, regardless of cause, and this is a responsibility we can not accept. VARIETIES AND PRICES Beans this year of the popular green and wax podded varieties are short- er than we have ever known. Some of our crops in these were complete failures, and on others only a very small amount was saved. Prices are given on page 24. In preparing this catalog we have selected only the very best and newest varieties to illustrate, and from this list you can select for your home garden, for the market or truckers crop the varieties which will prove to be the best in every way, in quality, yield and profit. In the general price list, pages 24, 25, 26, are a few other good varieties which we have marked with the $ mark in front of them. It has been our experience and the experience of most of our customers that the varieties illustrated and marked with the $ mark are the most reliable to plant. We offer you only one quality or one grade. The very best it has been possible to produce by careful growing and more careful selecting. You will find all of our seed strong, vital seed, quick germinating, clean and pure. THEY WILL GROW and GROW RIGHT. They are beyond question THE BEST SEED THAT GROW SELECTED FOR THE SOUTH. The experience of nearly half a century of the business is at your command. You will find our prices as low as first class, reliable seed can be sold for. EVERY ONE who has from a five foot square up to an unlimited acreage should have a vegetable garden. The cost is small and is one of the best health preservers and money savers. There is hardly anything that will return such a large profit on the money put into it. ON THE COTTON FARM it will be more necessary than ever this year to make the largest possible yield per acre in order to reduce the cost of the crop and our prolific, heavy fruiting special selections will help do this. They must also be backed up by a good crop of corn and other forage. These are all fully described in the back of catalog, and we will be glad to give any special instructions or information that you may want about growing these money saving for- age crops. We want to do all that we can to make your crop this year a success. We are ready to fill your order and to give it our usual prompt and very careful attention. We have prepared to give bet- ter service and better value wherever possible. You will certainly be pleased in every particular with our seed and service.

ALEXANDER’S GOOD SEED, AUGUSTA, GA. ; 5 The ONE Tomato That Should be Planted in EVERY Southern Garden It Is Well Worthy of Its Splendid Name “DIXIE’’*the Premier Tomato of the South. Iteis“PHESEVER- BEARING, LONG KEEPING, ALL SEASONS TOMATO, the Most Valuable Selection Offered in Many Years. FOR HOME GARDEN, MARKET GARDEN, SHIP- PING OR CANNING, THIS UNUSUAL COMBINA- TION TOMATO HAS NO EQUAL OR FOR A SIN- GLE PURPOSE TOMATO IS THERE ANYTHING BETTER (except for a very extra early crop). IT STANDS THE WET WEATHER AND THE HOT SUMMER SUN AND MAKES EACH SEASON FROM START TO FINISH MORE FIRST CLASS TOMA- TOES THAN: ANY SELECTION YOU HAVE EVER PLANTED. WE HAVE NOW SOLD THIS “DIXIE” TOMATO FOR FOUR YEARS AND IT HAS GAINED IN POPULARITY EACH YEAR, BECAUSE OF IT’S QUALITY, BECAUSE OF IT’S RELIABILITY, BE- CAUSE WE POSITIVELY KNEW WHEN WE FIRST OFFERED IT THAT A TOMATO SUCH AS THIS ONE, SPECIALLY ADAPTED TO THE SOUTH COULD NOT HELP COMING INTO GREAT DEMAND. THAT IS WHY WE SAY AGAIN THAT IT IS THE ONE TOMATO THAT SHOULD BE PLANTED IN EVERY SOUTHERN GARDEN. (See complete description and price on page 19.) Mr. T. J. Gardner, Edgefield County, S. C., wrote us July 6, 1915, the following report of his exper- ience with this tomato. We were also told by a neighbor of Mr. Gardners who came in our store in Augusta to buy some of the ‘‘DIXIE” seed, that he had never seen such fine crops of Tomatoes as those raised by Mr. Gardner from this seed. “T raise tomatoes for the late fall market. For this I plant the seed the first of June in beds and when large enough to transplant set them in rows 6 feet wide and 4 feet in drill. I use wide rows so as to cultivate late and for convenience in gathering. I break my land in Spring and harrow until I get ready to transplant. I then lay off my rows with 6 inch shovel plow and put in :200 pounds of complete fertilizer, analyzing 8-4-4. I make a smal) ridge on this and set my tomatoes. After they are up about 12 inches high I put about 200 pounds of the same fertilizer around them. I find that heavy fertilization does not pay as it will make too much vine and have tendency to make fruit rot, if not pruned. After this I cultivate shallow and often, until toma- toes begin ripening, with spring tooth cultivator. [ have planted your ‘“‘Dixie’’ Tomato for two years and find them to give me the best satisfaction of any I have tried. They will commence ripening about the last of September and can commence ship- ping about the first of October. They are prolific and bear for a long length of time, planting late as I do having a good crop of green tomatoes on vines at frost. They are uniform in size but have had them to weight as much as two pounds. They are smooth, teing freer of bumps than most other varieties of tomatoes, and an excellent shipper, keeping well for a long length of time. Every one I have ever sola them to say “they were the finest they had ever handled, giving the very best of satisfaction.’’ Among the numerous different dealers I have sold to are Penn & Holstein, J. F. Busch, and Castleberry & Wilcox. 1] could give other dealers names that have handled the ‘‘Dixie’’ but these are enough to show their pop- ularity. Summing up the whole, I find them the best all round tomato I have ever planted. They are very prolific, bear until frost, long keeper, a good shipper, bright red in color, uniform in size, with smal) seed cavity. I would recommend the ‘‘Dixie’’ to any one for both market and home purposes.—T. J. Gardner. 6 ALEXANDER’S GOOD SEED, AUGUSTA, GA. Pole and Lima Butter Beans ‘during the winter.

ALEXANDER’S AUGUSTA TRUCKER CABBAGE In our “Augusta Early Trucker’ we have the best large Early Flat Head Cabbage ever offered for planting in the South, a variety which will not only give the most satisfactory results in ‘‘home gardens,’ but has proven of the greatest possible value to the market gardens of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Texas and other Southern States. It suits all seasons; in fact, no Cabbage we have ever seen approaches it in so many desirable qualities. Sown in spring, it makes the best summer crop. Sown in the late summer months, it makes a most desirable Winter Cabbage. Our illustration gives you a good idea of its shape and appearance. In size it is the most desirable for market, either local or for long distance shipment. It stands summer heat and winter cold without injury and is the heaviest yielder and the surest header of them all. We know of no Cabbage that combines so nearly all the good qualities that a Cabbage can have. Our advice to you is to plant the ‘“‘Augusta Early Trucker’’.

Aheaper Fertilizer, Larger Profit-How to Make It CHEAPER FERTILIZER means MORE .ROFIT from your crops. You can grow part of your fertili- zer cheaper than you can buy it. The way to increase profits is to reduce cost of production or increase production without increasing your expense, and at the same time produce BETTER QUALITY. Fertilizer or “guano’’ is a large part of the cost of making a crop, if you buy it for cash, or on time. Your fertilizer bill will be greatly reduced by rotation, and growing legume crops on the land each year. Cotton should be the cash crop instead of the credit crop, as it is at present. In order to make cotton a cash crop, grain and legumes MUST BE GROWN. Grain and legume crops will give all the feed needed for work animals and food animals (cows, hogs, sheep, poultry, ete.). The manure from stock combined with the nitrogen put in the soil by the legume crops will build up your land, making it richer to grow larger and more profitable crops each year.

(From Augusta Chronicle.) A cantaloupe weighing 19 pounds was presented to the staff of The Chronicle last night by Mr. C. E. Brush, of the Alexander Seed Co. The melon was raised by Mr. W. A. Couch, of Toccoa, Ga., and was of the Alexander Special selection of the Nixon va- riety. Unlike most large melons, the meat was as sweet and firm as the little melons. Mr. Brush said that it was the largest melon he had ever seen of that variety. ‘ Our famous Augusta variety which Nixon originated here and has for years n the favorite large cantaloupe in our city. Com- bining large size with finest flavor, it is one of the best of all cantaloupes. For years we have kept this melon pure by the most careful selection. Often weighs 8 to 12 pounds. Is almost round shape, rough, deeply netted skin, thick meat of the richest possible flavor and sweetness. It is purely a Southern melon and has no equal for a main crop melon in the South.

ALEXANDER’S GOOD SEED, AUGUSTA, GA. 18 Alexander’s Perfected Rockyford—TRUCKER’S STRAIN This new strain of Rockyford of ours differs from all others in that it is solidly and deeply net- ted throughout. It is almost im- possible to get any “slick’’ can- taloupes with this strain, so thoroughly and deeply is it net- ted. It has thick, green_ flesh, very small seed cavity and com- paratively few seeds. Ripens svenly from stem to blossom and is also the most regular in size and shape of all, the mel- ons in a well cultivated crop be- ing almost as_ nearly alike as peas in a pod, If you are a cantaloupe shipper you know what an advantage this is. The illustration gives a fairly good idea of what might be expect- ed from this Perfected Strain but it really does not do the melon justice. We cannot rec- ommend this strain of Rocky- ford too highly. For home gar- den it has no equal and as a shipper it cannot be beat. If you are extra particular about your cantaloupe crop plant our ‘Perfected Rockyford,’ This will give you cantaloupes exactly such as you want all through the season.

Banana will grow and make on poorer land than any other variety and will stand sum- mer sun without injury and fur- nish you melons long after all other varieties are gone.

Georgia Watermelon Seed 4g the finest in the world and we are situated right here in the very center of the best watermelon lands of Georgia. The Augusta section is the one that made Georgia famous as a watermelon-growing State, and our fancy selected seed is grown for us strictly in the Augusta district. No other section produces such fine melons as this; nowhere does the seed reach such perfect development; nowhere are there melon-growers that take zuch pride in careful selection to preserve the purity of strain as we do. Now a word of caution about melon seed. Our seed is from crops grown exclusively for seed. Not a melon is sold‘or shipped from our fields. The fancy seed is saved only from large melons of perfect shape. ‘You get the best that is possible to produce when you buy from us. It is our great specialty. Don’t be fooled into buying ‘‘cheap’’ melon seed. There are tens of thousands of pounds of “cull” seed saved from Southern shipping crops every year; seed from the refuse melons, It is offered at from 25 cents to 50 cents per pound, but not a pound of it is fit to plant if you want good melons. We don’t sell that kindg of seed. We have none but the best seed that will make you good crops of large perfect melons. Culture Melons do best in rich sandy loam soil, but where this is not obtainable they can be grown on clay lands on warm, sunny hillsides. The best fertilizer is well rotted stable manure. The hills should be 8 to 10 feet apart each way. Give deep plowing and thorough cultivation, reducing the soil to a fine condition. Watermelons do not root very uceply, but they do spread. In applying fertilizer spread {t to a considerable distance, say 3 feet out from the center of each hill. It is well to encourage this natural tendency to spread the roots. Where it is necessary to use commercial fertilizer use one as near the follow- Ing formula as possible: Nitrogen, 3 per cent; Potash, 8 per cent; Phosphoric Acid (available), 8 per cent. This formula has given the best results on melon lands. Use 2 to 3 pounds of the above formula to each hill, working it in and mixing thoroughly with the soil. This should be done 10 days to 2 weeks before the seed is planted. First plantings can be made as soon as soil gets warm in the spring, and succession plantings can be made up to June in this latitude. Plant 8 to 10 seeds in each hill, thinning out, after the rough leaves have formed, to the 2 strongest plants in each hill. Cultivate lightly until runners come out well into the middies. If large weeds come up, cut them off. Do not pull them up, as it disturbs both the roots and the vines. The vines after they begin to run should never be moved or disturbed. It always injures the crop. When there are plenty of blooms on the plants pinch off the ends of the runners. Where extra large melons are desired leave only 1 plant to each hill and only one or two melons on each vine. K k Another popular and early melon a favorite wherever known for home and nearby lec ley Sw eet market ‘use. Vines strong and vigorous, melons of medium size and oblong form, being 18 to 24 inches : long and 10 to 12 inches through. Skin is very deep, rich, dark green, making a handsome appear- ance in market. Flesh is bright red, ripening up close to the skin, the rind seldom being over % in. thick. Flesh is crisp, extra sweet and melting, entirely free from stringiness. Undoubtedly one of the best early table melons grown. No garden is complete without it.

MELON PEACH The fruit is about the size of a large peach, oval-shaped and of a bright orange color, some- what russeted. When they first ripen they are quite hard and have very little taste, but soon become mellow and fit for use. When ripe the fruit falls from the vine; the flesh is very firm. Melon Peaches are not eaten raw, although they are very fine for preserves, pies, pickling, etc. For this pur- pose they are delicious if first peeled and the seeds remoyed, then cut in thick slices. For. preserves treat as you would any fruit, using half sugar and half fruit, and a little lemon essence or a few pieces of sliced lemon. For pies, slice and season the same as green apples, using top and lower crusts and bake slowly. This new pie when first eaten will not be soon forgotten, making a most appetizing dessert., Melon Peaches are very easily grown, same as mel- ens and are very productive.

ALEXANDER’S NEW EARLY BEAUTY POTATO Alexander’s New Early Beauty Potato, a new selection first offered by us in 1910 has proven a wonderful ~ winner of popularity with hundreds of our discriminating customers. BEAUTY OF APPEARANCE, QUAL- ITY OF TASTE, PROLIFICNESS OF YIELD, EARLINESS IN THE MARKET; general vigor of growth and freeness from disease have made it the most desirable of all varieties for the earliest spring crop, or for main crop, to fully mature and store for sale or home use until the next crop is made. We said when first offering it. It HAS GOOD POINTS that NO OTHER Potato has, and if you plant it YOU WILL BE SATISFIED in EVERY WAY with it. Customers who have planted our seeds for years know that we do not recklessly recommend ANY VARIETY. That we find out first just what it is good for and just what it will do. ‘‘When you see a variety offered in Alexander’s catalogue, and specially recommended as O. K., you can buy at once and be sure it is all right’’is what one of our old customers stated to a friend whom he brought in and introduced. This fact is again proven in the case of our introduction of this potato. We haven’t space here to spare in which to give you all the evidence, but one of the best illustrations is that of a customer hundreds of miles away in the great ‘“‘empire” of Texas. They know good potatoes out there, and in addition to that, there is no more critical or better posted buyer than a German Farmer or Market Gardener. They know their business well, whatever it may be, either making big guns and fighting with them, or growing potatoes. Our Texas friend first cautiously purchased a peck, not at that time knowing us, or the potato. Results from this trial were so satisfactory that Mr. Keil the next year bought five and one-half bushels and said when ordering “IT IS SURE A FINE POTATO IN EVERY WAY, I THINK YOU WILL GET MORE ORDERS, EVERY ONE LIKES IT HERE.” Seed potatoes of different kinds are offered for sale in Texas but not in all that great state could Mr. Keil find anything equal to our EARLY BEAUTY. Right here close at home, up at Thomson, Ga., Mr. J. O. Shields, Cashier of the First National Bank, writes, Jan. 14th, 1914—‘‘ADVISE ME IF YOU CAN FURNISH ME TWO BBLS. ALEXANDER’S EARLY BEAUTY POTATOES SAME AS I BOUGHT OF YOU LAST SEASON.” All who try it come back for more, the evi- dence, as shown by the many testimonials received, s overwhelmingly in its favor, they put it far ahead of all others. Hundreds of our customers here in Augusta, have told us that every year it has out-yielded the Red Triumph two to one, a bushel of Beauty seed making as much as two bushels of Triumph, and they are better to eat. It is good for shipping, and for home market. They are almost everlasting, they keep so well. Flesh pure white, cooks quickly, and they do taste good. You can risk your whole crop in this SURE CROP POTATO, and sell at THE BEST PRICE. With an order for one barrel of BEAUTY we will send you free a 126 page book “PRACTICAL POTATO CULTURE” written by an expert grower.

Put Baa? a raw as, rock beetle or rake, ae ELVET BEANS, COW PEAS, Japan and Sweet or oor Lan lovers and other fa aS Pee pad il vaty poor turn under the entire crop for fertilizer the first year. The legumes get notrogen from the air and leave it in the soil, as the roots and tops that you have turned under rot in the ground, they dissolve the potash and phosphate which is already in the soil so that when CORN, OATS, WHEAT, COTTON, etc., are planted they will make a fine crop without any other fertilizer. Plant every ‘acre on your farm in Velvet Beans and Cow Peas this year that is not planted in cotton. Plant between the corn, plant everywhere; do not lose money by letting the land “lay out’. Keep it growing legumes to build it up so that it will make big, money making cash crops , the next ‘season. A _ good erop of legumes grown and turned under in an “old field’? that has been laying out will make it better than ‘new ground’’ and much easier and cheaper to get ready for a crop. With cotton seed at present prices it will pay to sell them. If you grow a good crop of any of the legumes this summer and turn it under for fertilizer it will take the place of cotton seed meal for your next crop and allow you to feed the meal which is much better than putting it fresh on the land.

MAKES ONE OF THE RICHEST AND BEST FOODS FOR HOGS. YIELDS of 250 to 500 Bushels reported per acre. Many of our most valuable ‘‘stock food crops’’ have their origin in Africa, Sacherine and Non-Sachrine Sorghums, Sudan, Rhodes, Natal, and other valuable grasses comprise a portion of the list. Many have obtained world-wide fame but we venture to say, judging from the spiendid reports we have from reliable planters, that there has never been an introduction of any sort so well adapted to the poor sandy soils of the South, one that will produce such an enor- mous yield ‘with so little trouble and expense, as ALEXANDER’S AFRICAN HOG GOOBER. WE be- lieve that to the ALEXANDER SEED CO. is due the credit of introducing this valuable plant. Some years ago we shipped a carload of fifteen hundred bushels of our select seed oats to one of our customers in South Africa. They arrived safely. Our customer was so well pleased with the shipment in every re- spect, that he sent us about a pound of HOG GOOB- ERS. These we distributed for trial and they have proven to be exceedingly valuable.

How to Make More Money on Peanuts It should be almost useless to make a statement in regard to the value of the peanut plant both as a garden and a farm crop. It would seem that every one must know how to grow the crop and make a big yield, yet a few have not been successful. There is a reason for this and a very simple one, easily remedied, and for those who have not been as suc- cessful with their peanut crops as they should be we shall be glad to advise you, upon inquiry, how to make your crop a success. The information will be gladly given regardless of whether you send an order or not. Just say on a postal ‘ADVISE ME HOW TO MAKE A LARGER AND MORE PROFITABLE CROP anced, evidently containing less oil and a larger percentage of Protein. It will be wise for you to plant a trial package this year. This should give you enough seed to plant an acre:or more next year.

Sow as a separate crop or in the corn in June. It is for this section what red clover is for the North. Valuable for green forage. When cut it branches and makes a heavier second growth. Its popularity is increasing every year. On account of its deep tap root, it is better than cow peas for dry seasons. Sow 10 pounds per acre. PRICE: Trial Packet, 10 cents; pound, 50 cents, postpaid. Ask for price in large quantity. ‘ One of the best posted grass men Dallis Grass in the South said sometime ago, “Dallis Grass is destined to prove one of the most valuable grasses for the South.’’ It has been grown with the greatest success in Georgia for 20 years, but because nearly every one has had the “all cotton fever,’’ very little attention has been given to any kind of grass, except to kill it as fast as possible. Mr. Dallis made wonderful crops of hay, and large profits from his hay business. It is particularly well adapted to bottoms and stiff lands, yet it withstands dry weather with unusual success. Sow in March and April 5 to 8 pounds per acre. PRICE: Sample packet, 10 cents; pound 50 cents postpaid. Ask for price in larger quantity.

Just’ one bean was received in 1910 by Florida Experiment station and it has already produced thous- ands of dollars in value for the state of Florida, is what Prof. Rolfs, the Director, says of it. Mr. C. F. Zeek, President Crop Improvement Association, says: “T regard this bean at the head of list of Velvet Beans. Will mature twenty to thirty days earlier than the regular speckle. Makes most vigorous growth of any of Velvet Bean family. Has plenty of vine and leaves, therefore, as soil builder, ahead of any other. Exceedingly prolific. Clusters very large, some- times exceeding a foot in length. Pods contain five to six beans each. Bean larger than speckle, Lyon or Yokohama.”” Prof. Rolf says, ‘‘This has proven to be the most valuable of our Velvet Bean introduc- tions, for North Florida, at least. Heavier cropper than either of the other beans. Ripens usually month earlier than Florida or Lyon. Consequently gets out of way of frosts. Has extremely good habit of grow- ing vigorously at start.’’ Of course, at present, seed supply is limited. Price, however, is not high, com- pared with value. It will pay you to “get a start”’ right away. PRICE: Packet, 10 cents; Qt., 40 cents; postpaid; % bushel, $1.50. Extra Early Georgia Prolific Speckle Velvet Bean T#!S IS the earliest of all velvet beans, and the most valuable for northern part of the cotton belt. Can be planted later and grazed or harvested earlier than any other selec- tion. Department of Agriculture’s record shows entire crop gathered September 24th, from seed planted April 18th. It gives the earliest bean grazing for cattle and hogs. There is no better stock food than this rich bean, and its enormous vine growth. At the same time it enriches the soil. One grower, Mr. Dickeys, writes, “These beans mature 90 to 100 days. My neighbor found a vine with dry beans in August. Planted every year until he had enough for his whole crop. They are now taking the day here with all farmers, because they mature before frost and they can turn stock on them sooner than the late bean. I planted in corn 12th of May, and latter part of August had dry beans. Do not make as much vine as the late sort. Will not injure corn. When I side corn first time, drop a bean by every stalk and cover.” Mr. Williamson says, ‘Planted one bushel seed. Got only half stand account unfavorable conditions. Gath- ered 187 bushels beans.”” Mr. Browning says, “THE NEW DWARF SPECKLE VELVET BEAN is the earliest known and most valuable for Georgia.’ Earlier and makes more vine than the Yokohama. It is undoubtedly a very important and valuable new discovery. The supply of seed is yet quite limited. oe 10 cents; Qt., 40 cents postpaid. 4 yushel 50. Natal or Florida Red Top ve, er7a'ess grass. This is also a comparatively new introduction from Africa. Though it has been successfully grown in Florida for several years, it has been difficult to get the seed saved. We have seen both this variety and Rhodes growing in Florida and have heard nothing but praise. It is good for grazing and hay. Spreads rapidly from the seed and reseeds. It begins its growth earlier than any other grass and grows later in the season, making it specially valuable for graz- ing. It is much better for this purpose than Bermuda as it will make a taller and better growth on poor, sandy land. It will turn poor land into a value of $50.00 to $100.00 an acre. This grass is undoubtedly going to do much toward increasing land values in the South. Sow 5 pounds per acre. PRICE: Sample packet, 10 cents; pound 40 cents postpaid. Ask for price on larger quantity. Another new grass from Africa. Rhodes Grass Has been grown for a number of years with great success in Florida where it is sometimes called East Coast Grass. Recommended as a perennial where temperature does not go below 20. Specially valuable for all parts of Florida and lati- tude south of Charleston and Montgomery, through the Atlantic and Gulf Coast section. Further north it is an annual. In Florida it has made in one year 12 tons of dry hay per acre. It makes a very fine quality of hay. Better than Timothy. This has made such splendid crops that it is worth your most care- ful attention. It also smothers nut grass. PRICE: Sample Packet, 10 cents; pound $1.00, postpaid. Ask for price in large quantity. Sow 5 pounds per acre. 2 : nown Pearl or Cat-Tail Millet a bigedohe valuable of all green forage plants for the South. Sold recently under the name of ‘‘Pencillaria,’’ and sold at enormous prices. Continues to grow and produce green forage all through the season. It has a record of producing 95 tons of green forage from one acre in 135 days. Valuable for green feed only, as it makes poor dry fodder. Sow from April to June in rows 4 feet apart, using 10 pounds of seed per acre. Cultivate same as for corn. Pound, 20 cents; 4 pounds, 80 cents; postpaid. 10-pound lots or over, not pre- paid, about 10 cents per pound. POOR LAND or SWEET CLOVER (or Bokhara. Melilotus Alba) is rapidly coming into its own. Its real value is more and more appreciated each year. It is grown for bees, for hay, for green forage, and as a legume to produce nitrogen fertilizer in the soil, and restore it, or build it up to a high state of fertility. It is very valuable as a pasture plant and will provide more feed per acre than any other clover of this class on poor land, and stands drought well. One farmer has a sixteen acre tract of Sweet Clover which has pastured an average of two mature animals to the acre, or thirty-two animals all sum- mer. Besides this, he cut several good loads of hay from one corner of the field, where the clover grew most rank. It is a biennial plant and bears close resemblance to Alfalfa but it is larger and coarser in growth. It will grow on soils on which Alfalfa cannot thrive and will make excellent growth on lands so hard and barren that they will sustain scarcely any other vegetation. It is the first plant to grow in the spring and furnishes an abundance of succulent pasturage, equal in quality and value with Alfalfa. Cattle fed upon Sweet Clover will not bloat. When grown for hay, one crop and sometimes two may be cut the first season. The second year, two or three crops may be cut. It should be mowed just before it commences to blossom and before the stems become hard and woody. As it is tall growing and stools very freely, the yield of green forage is tre- mendous. Sweet Clover lives but two years. At the end of the second season the tops and roots die. The root growth is very large and fleshy. When the plants die, they add to the soil immense quantities of nitro- gen and humus restoring old, worn out lands to crop producing ability. Sweet Clover has the same bacteria as Alfalfa and will prepare the way for that valuable crop. If a permanent Sweet Clover field is desired, the second crop may be allowed to go to seed and there will be a splendid stand the following year. We recommend the cultivation of Sweet Clover for pastures, for hay and for renewing worn out lands. If handled properly it will well reward the grower. Sow 15 Lbs. per acre. Hulled and cleaned seed. Pound, postpaid, 40c; not prepaid. 10 Lbs. @ 23c; 100 Lbs. @ 20c. Unhulled. Pound postpaid, 30c; not prepald, 10 Lbs. @ 19c; 100 Lbs. @ 17c. 30) ALEXANDERS GOOD SEED, AUGUSTA, GA. MONEY—BIG PROFITS IN GRASS FOR PASTURE, FOR SOIL BUILDING, FOR HAY TO FEED ON THE FARM, OR TO SELL. There is always a market for good first class hay and no where may it be grown more cheaply or sold at a greater profit than in all the Southern States. IT’S A CHEAP and EASY CROP TO MAKE. THINK OF THE MILLIONS of dollars we send out of the South every year for hay. We pay $15.00 to $25.00, and sometimes nearly $30.00 a ton for it. Hay of equal feeding value can be grown at home at a cost of five to ten dollars a ton. If you grow it, you can always sell it or feed it. EVERY TON of hay grown, sold and fed in the SOUTH means just that much more money kept circulating at home. When those hay and grain dollars are kept passing around at home, every- body gets a chance to handle them. The farmer brings a load of hay to town and gets the money for it, and spends part of it with the different merchants, and puts the balance in the bank. If the farmer does not bring any hay to town, that money all goes West and takes years to get back, and then we have to pay eight to twenty per cent interest in order to have the use of it a few months. It will actually be better for the financial interests of all the South for merchants and consumers to .pay Southern farmers for Southern grown products, a few cents above the market price of Western and Northern farm products of same grade. “TRANSPLANTED PRODUCTS RULE THE WORLD” said Leanardo, and in the United States, trans- planted products from Africa, such as grasses and forage crops have created millions of dollars worth of values. Lands that were unproductive and almost valueless before the introduction of these many African plants, are now the highest priced and most profitable lands in THE SOUTH, SOUTHWEST and WESTERN United States. “It has been well said no nation is greater than her grasses, for agriculturally speaking, her future prosperity depends - upon the products of her pastures.’’ The world has never produced enough hay. . SUDAN, THE ‘‘MIRACLE’”’ GRASS IN 1915 HAS AGAIN PROVEN TRUE TO ITS REPUTATION. SUDAN GRASS, one of the most remarkable forage crops known, is adapted to all the central and southern and western states, from the Pacific to Atlantic. Everywhere that it has been planted in offi- cial and private tests, large and small, the verdict is unanimous— EVERYWHERE A SUCCESS. In the black rich land, the clay, the sandy loam, it grows rank and rich. It is the greatest drought re- sisting grass crop known, and ample rainfall only makes the growth more rapid. SUDAN is said to be the parent plant of all the sor- -ghums. In 1909 it was introduced by the Department of Agricul- ture, and given extensive and thorough tests in Texas by both State and United States Department. Sudan is a tall, quick growing an- nual grass, stems are small and more leafy than Johnson. It has all of the good qualities of Johnson Grass, and not one of its bad ones. It can never become a pest or menace to surrounding fields, as it must be planted each spring, and dies in the Fall like sor- ghum or millet, when the first hard frost comes. The plant stools amazingly, as many as 100 stalks from a single seed It will mature in ninety days from planting, with the second crop ready for cutting thirty days from the first. At the Texas Station, four crops, averaging more than a ton per acre at each cutting, were had in one. season. The number of cuttings depend on the length and character of the season. Its feeding value is great. Stock of all kind eat it, and it is a splendid silo crop. To test it and get a start, plant in rows three feet apart, or sow fifteen to twenty pounds per acre broadcast. We have said so much on our own account, that there is no room for the confirmation of our state- ments by others, but we believe you have confidence in our judg- ment and recommendation.

Alexander’s Genuine Egyptian Wheat This is beyond question one of the most valuable crops ever introduced into the United States, or the South. It has been planted from California to Geor- gia, and about its unusual productiveness and great worth, there is no lack of the most substantial evi- jence. It will grow well and give the best results on any land that will produce Corn or Cotton, and on poor land in a dry season, it will do better than either corn or cotton. It is equal to corn for Cattle, Hogs, Horses, Chickens, and it is unusually good as a feed for egg production. Equally important is its value for a portion of the human diet. It may be easily ground in the coffee mill, and the meal will make the best of batter cakes and muffins. It matures early. Two crops can be made in a year. The yield is very great. One report shows 7,300 pounds in the head cut from one acre, and others over 100 bushels of threshed grain. One seed will make from 2 to 12 stalks, each with a big seed head. The heads are very compact. The geed are held tightly so that it does not shatter out. Sow ‘six to ten pounds of seed per acre.

It is very valuable for growth of early green fodder. It is almost incon- ceivable how just one small seed can produce so many stalks, or how the little germ in that seed could contain the energy necessary to force such a rapid, luxuriant growth. In proportion to the relative sizes, as compared with the enormous guns used in the present European war. this little seed, to produce such results must be MORE powerful and its CERTAINLY far MORE valuable to the human race, than those terribly and uselessly destructive guns, for this seed produces quickly not only an enormous amount of fodder, but in addition, a great yield of the most nu- tritious grain which is needed everywhere for the preservation of both animal and human life. It makes such a rapid growth and matures so quickly that we have one report of a second crop made in one year from the grain matured and planted from the first crop. One grower calls it ‘‘bird proof.’’ There is no danger of dislodgement as the grain holds tight in head until threshed out. A very desirable plant for every farm is FETERITA and we are pleased in hav- ing the opportunity of offering such a valuable plant to you this year, when there is such great need for Planting the greatest possible acreage in FOOD AND FORAGE CROPS.

Kudzu The great new forage plant for early and permanent pastures and the best hay has proven to be everything that was claimed for it by the introducer. It seems to be, without a doubt, the forage plant that is going to make available for the most profitable returns thousands of acres of poor pine woods lands, that now seem to be of no value for any crop. KUDZU not only furnishes more forage than Velvet beans, but at less expense. Reports show that KUDZU will make heavy crops as far up as North Carolina and have even made a single crop in Dela- ware, while for the Gulf country it cannot be recom- mended too highly. It is a great soil renovator and fertilizer. Some plants have produced as high as 2,000 nitrogen nodules. It will make ten tons of hay per acre in one season—four cuttings.

Alexander's “90-Day” the QUICK CROP Cotton In it are combined the most profitable qualities for making the largest profit from a late planted crop following grain, early vegetable or a winter hay crop to be cut in April and May, or to make the best paying crop in the northern cotton growing region and the boll weevil sections of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. It has always been our ambition to offer a variety of cotton that would make a big profitable crop in the shortest time. We haveystudied this problem for years, carefully testing, experimenting, patiently selecting, planting and waiting for results. NOW after years of the most scientific se- THESE TWO most desirable qualities so lection we have at last succeeded by well combined in this new selection are combining in this cotton, among its ~ “QUICKEST CROP,” and a “BIG many good qualities, two of the most CROP.” We think ‘90-DAY”’ the valuable and so much desired by : right name for it, because its od “EXTRA EARLINESS” is its most desirable quality for many planters. every up-to-date planter who wants to get the quickest and most profitable returns from his soil.

Big Boll Extra Early very Prolific storm proof, five lock “Ezy -Muny” Cotton BALE PER ACRE STALK OF YOUR IDEAL COTTON IS THis NEW SELECTION OF OURS. If you had the time to go into all of the best cotton fields of the South and pick with your own hands from the best you “EZY MUNY’’ could find, this is without a doubt the very COTTON one that you would select. It was originated or propagated by an up-to-date farmer up in the Northern cotton belt where the seasons are short. The selec- tion and breeding has been done from a very healthy and thrifty growing big boll variety and has been so wel} developed that it will produce a more superior crop in every respect than any of the big boll type. This variety has been grown from the beginning on land free from disease. It was no easy task to develop this variety but careful and patient work always brings the desired results when proper methods are used and the reward ob- tained in the perfection of this new strain proves that it was worth all of the time and money spent in bring- ing it up to its present condition. In it you will find MORE OF THE MOST DESIRABLE qualities for an ab- solutely perfect variety of this class than you have ever seen. We have tested it in every possible way with other big boll varieties, both of the early and late types, and there is not one that has proven equal to it in a three years’ test on dark, red clay land of good quality, on stiff gray pebble land with clay subsoil; on rich river bottom soil and sandy land. The results in all trials have been highly satisfactory. A friend of ours told us about this selection in 1908. We at once investigated it and found it to be just what we wanted. It cost us $8.55 a bushel. Big boll cottons are nearly always the most popular with pickers and the only objection to planting them in some sections has been the length of time they require to make a crop. The main object in breeding this selection was to combine in it besides earliness, the largé well-shaped boll with 60 to 70 per cent of them five-lock, a medium-sized seed, with one inch lint of good strength and quality and turning out 38% per cent to 40 per cent, 49 to 58 bolls making a pound. The open growth is also a great advantage in the BOLL WEEVIL section, and we prefer open growth under all conditions. It makes a well-shaped stalk with numerous limbs on which the bolls are well distributed. It has made a fine crop each of the four years we have grown it, showing very little tendency to shed during the long, hot, dry seasons it has gone through. However, this is largely due to the fact that all the land on which it has been grown has been deeply prepared and cultivated shallow. It has proven most valuable also on account of the ease with which it is picked. Hands can pick more and are sometimes willing to pick for less money than to pick small boll varieties. In selecting our pedigree planting stock, the selection {s made from individual stalks which are tested for their rate of yield per acre. and unless they make a yield of at least 1,575 pounds lint per acre, or about 3% bales the seed is not used. Every plant that comes up to that standard is used to grow seed for the next year’s general crops, which have not fallen below an average of 590 pounds lint per acre. By this improved method of selecting only a part of the seed from high yielding stalks: on four of our seed farms where this seed is grown on a total of 396 acres, the low yielding stalks are almost eliminated from _ the genera] or main crop. One of our renters followed his oats with this cotton, using only 200 pounds high grade fertilizer per acre averaged 435 pounds lint per acre on 15 acres.

J. Higgins, Thorsby, Ala., reports: “Brom one-half bushel Early Big Boll Seed 1 bought from you I will make between two and three bales. As it is such good cotton I’ve decided to name it, The Farmers’ Se- curity.” _ Mr. J. C. Holt, Fountain Inn, S. C., says: “‘l bought a bushel of your new ‘Early Big Boll or No Name Cotton’ and planted one acre tenth of May, using about 400 pounds guano. Had no rain for three months ex- cept a few light showers. I planted three varieties on the farm where I made 19 bales last year. Only made 8 this year, short- age mostly caused by long drought and red spider. They averaged about 400 pounds seed cotton per acre,’ except the seed | bought from you which made 1,000 pounds, averaged 40 per cent lint. It has a fine, big boll, good staple, and easy picked. I think it should be named ‘Gold Medal Early Big Boll,’ because it stood the drought and red spider and made more to the land than any other cotton.” Mr. G. P. Whisenant, Union Grove, Ala., is highly pleased with results obtained from the seed he planted. He advises us, ‘I had 1,300 pounds seed cotton and got 510 pounds lint.

IT IS SO WELL y KNOWN AND UNIVERSALLY LIKED WHEREVER IT HAS BEEN PLANTED THAT IT SEEMS ALMOST UNNECESSARY TO MORE THAN MENTION THE FACT THAT WE HAVE NOW READY TO SHIP TO YOU A LIMITED SUPPLY OF SELECT SEED FROM A VERY FINE BUT REDUCED CROP LAST YEAR. However, each year we have hundreds of requests for our catalog similar to this one from Mr. Sutton: Lawrence County, Miss.—Sirs: I have heard so much about the reliability of the Alexander Seed Com- pany that I want a catalogue that we may know more about it.—D. S. Sutton. It is therefore best to give a description for the benefit of those receiving our catalog for the first time We think that we have a right to justly feel very proud of the splendid and honorable record made by MONEY MAKER since we first offered it from the crop of 1905; that being the 12th crop made from the original selection, by one of the most successful cotton growers of the South He had started in to breed his cotton up to an IDEAL STANDARD. He worked for a large, well-limbed stalk, shorter joints, three times as many bolls and large ones, together with longer and finer lint. He worked to produce a deep-rooted cotton to resist drought and storms and rust. The result our ‘‘Money Maker Cotton’’ shown above, reproduced from a photograph of a stalk from our crop. It tells the story of what ‘“Money Maker” does far better than words can. We have tested it In every condition of soil and climate in the cotton re- gion. Under the same conditions of cultivation it has always shown the heaviest yields and in 1905 it was 14 per cent. ahead of the next best variety. Our crop that year was 200 acres. Land was good, with good fer- tilization and culture and the average yield was 24% bales per acre, even with such a poor cotton-growing year as was 1905 in our section. No other variety has been more carefully bred and selected than ‘Money Maker.’ Plant it, and because our seed are strong and vigorous, they come up quick and grow right off. It quickly makes a strong, tough growth that will hold up a big crop of bolls without breaking down; blooms early and sets its fruit without delay. For this re@son thousands of acres are planted with it every year in Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, because it puts 9n a good crop always before the BOLL WEEVIL can do any damage. It makes a good crop from bottom to top. Its roots go way down in the ground and no matter how dry the season they get the moisture to develop with the smallest amount of shedding. MONEY MAKER is the one you can depend on EVERY YEAR from the smallest to the largest crop. We have the EVIDENCE to PROVE every claim we:have ever made. A small portion of this evidence has been published in previous catalogs. If you are going to plant cotton this year, plant GOOD SEED, THE VERY BEST, THE MOST PRODUCTIVE that you may get the largest possible yield per acre at the least possible cost. You will be safe with MONEY MAKER. Remember it is sold only under the brand and seal of ALEXANDER SEED CO. Do not plant until you have seen THE SIGN OF GOOD SEED on the package or bag from which you are planting. It is a surest sign for a successful crop. ; PRICES: Pound, postpaid. 40 cents; 3 pounds, $1.00.

C., June 9, ’14.—‘‘I want to let you know I have some of your 90 Day cotton; like it fine; the best I ever saw. I want to know if you have any more seed on hand now, if so, please let me know by return mail sure, as I want to plant right away.’’—Lizzie Williford. Attala Co., Miss, January 14, ’14.—‘‘Send me your spring catalog, wish to order seed of you. I was well pleased with the 90 Day cotton seed ordered of you. Everybody that sees my cotton wants seed of it. It is THE COTTON for beating boll weevils.’’-— F. L. Ross. The seed is genuine only when _ received by you under our special trade mark brand “‘THE SIGN OF GOOD SEED”. Too Numerous To Mention in this small space are the FACTS stated by our cus- tomers in hundreds of letters and on hundreds of or- ders, in regard to the fine crops and bigger profits they have made thru planting our famous ‘“MONEY MAK- ER” cotton seed. We were the first seedsmen to make a SPECIALTY of first class planting cotton seed and have offered in the many years we have been in business many fine selections. We have always given the selection of high grade cotton seed the closest attention, endeavoring always to offer only improve- ments of real value to our customers. That our judgment in selecting and improving varieties of cotton is good and has met with the hearty ap- proval of cotton planters throughout the South is proven by the steady increased demand for our special selections. Of all the varieties we have introduced “MONEY MAKER” has been the most popular, and we recom- mend it as the best medium boll selection that has ever been offered. We receive more orders for it than all other varieties combined, and next to it comes “EZY MUNY’’, which is now pushing it hard for first place in the race for popularity. They are both SURE CROPPERS, EARLY in developing their erop, very prolific and in every particular they are exactly what you must plant to get the largest profits out of your cotton crop. In Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama the demand for these two selections has rapidly increased each year with the advance of the Boll Weevil because they are adapted in every way to make the best yields where the boll weevil is. As evidence of the superior value of MONEY MAKER to make a crop in spite of the weevil, we give you the record of one Louisiana customer who in 1907 bought 25 bushel lots of King Extra Early, Tool Impd., MONEY MAKER and others. All were given a careful and impartial test on their large farm under direction of U. S. Department of Agriculture. “MONEY MAKER proved superior in every way and they bought of us to put out on their large plantation for the 1909 crops a thousand bushels of seed. In the years since then we have supplied them with large quantities of MONEY MAKER seed. In 1910 they reported a yield of 771 bales on 1000 acres, under boll weevil conditions. TOO NUMEROUS TO MENTION, is just the sit- uation in regard to the reports of good crops from MONEY MAKER seed. We are very proud of its reeord and you will be greatly pleased with the big vield it will-make for you! (See page 36.) 38 ALEXANDER’S GOOD SEED, AUGUSTA, GA.

It has been re-selected and put out under various names, but none of these has ever excelled our own selection in yield o1 any other point. At the Georgia Experiment Station our selection made for five years the high- est average yield. In this variety you can not get anything better than our pedigree seed.

ALEXANDER’S GOOD SEED, AUGUSTA, GA. 39 or largest profit from corn growing in the South can only be made by . planting the best selected pedigree Southern grown corn seed such Os oney as we offer you in our BIG FOUR collection, SIX EAR, SHAW IMPROVED YELLOW PRIZEWINNER, FARMERS FPRIDtH, Crops from seed we have sold in the past prove this. You will find in this catalog part of the evidence; there is so much we have not space for all. YOU CANNOT BE TOO PARTICULAR ABOUT THE CORN SEED YOU PLANT. There is a big dif- ference between even a first class crop grown for FEED and a crop grown and selected specially for SEED. OUR BIG FOUR varieties are unsurpassed for purity and productiveness. They are OUR SPECIAL INTRODUCTIONS and represent for main and improved with the greatest care. late crops the very best. They are “THOROUGHBREDS” They have been selected and every one. THE COST OF SEED PER ACRE is the smallest cost of a corn crop (or any other crop) the increased yield from our seed will pay you many times the cost of the seed. One acre properly prepared and planted with our seed will make more corn at less cost than three to five acres planted the ordinary way with western or scrub seed. HOW CAN YOU AFFORD TO TAKE CHANCES BY PLANTING ANYTHING BUT THE BEST? THESE VARIETIES ARE GENUINE ONLY WHEN RECEIVED UNDER OUR BRAND “THE SIGN OF GOOD SEED”. Our sole aim in business is not only to sell goo OWN PRIVATE d seed but wherever possible to give each customer in- formation and cultural helps that will assist in making a success of the crop, and it affords us a great deal of satisfaction to know that any little thing that we have done in this way may have been of value to our customers, as indicated in the following letter from Mr. G. F. Toulmin, Mobile County, Ala.—“‘I take pleasure in telling you that the seed corn that you sold to my father, Mr. Richard Jones and myself, all residing near each other here, produced entirely satisfactory crops.—I am not a farmer, have never planted a crop before, and am inexperienced, but by following your directions as to the planting, fertiliza- tion, and cultivation of the corn, I produced an entirely satisfactory crop.’”’ Dr. H. S. Dennis, Caddo, Parish, La., has ex- perienced the usual good results from our seed and has expressed his satisfaction. “I congratu- late your house on it’s good name in this balliwick. If this order is as satisfactory as the seed which reached me from your house thru a neighbor two years ago I will in the future order all of my seed from you.” Mr. A. A. Derrick, Holmes County, Miss., has had the usual good results from SIX EAR corn and writes, on an order, “have made an excep- tionally good crop of your SIX EAR corn this year.”’ Jefferson County, Ala.—‘‘Send your annual cata- log. I want garden seed, also FARMERS PRIDE and SIX EAR corn. Have several times bought seed from you and think your seed are the best.” says Mr. A. G. Jordan. We find there is always something new to learn about farming and gardening. We endeavor to keep up with the best and are always glad to supply both “amateurs and professionals’’ with any experience or information we may have. Do not hesitate to write us about anything you are “up against’. We may be able to help you. At least we will try. LEE Mr. Sylvanus Gardner, R. F. D. 6, Cleveland County, N. C., writes March 15, 1915.—‘‘The seed ordered from you (1-2 Bu. Six Ear Corn and Melon seed) received in good condition. Am well pleased; it is all fine corn. I can recommend your seed heartily for I have used them 7 years.”’ ee a EEE NEEEEESEEE EERE Mr. J. W. Argoe, Orangeburg County, S. C. says— “Find money inclosed for list of seed. Ship at once. Am well pleased with Shaw Corn bought on your recommendation last spring, but still want to try Farmer’s Pride. Let me know if you can supply it next year so I can get my order in early be- fore you sell out again. send catalog at once.—B. W. Moore. DeKalb County, Ala., Feb. 10, 1914.—Have been told you have good Corn Seed called FARMER’S PRIDE, FARMERS’ PRIDE CORN THE 90 PER CENT CORN Mr. W. D. Raley, Shelby County, Ala., says, ‘JT bought Farmers’ Pride from you 5 years ago. Have got it mixed and want to start again with pure seed. Inclosed find $1.00 for a peck.” Mr. M. E. Shuler, Orangeburg County, Ss. C. says, ‘‘Am so well pleased with your Farmers’ Pride Corn that I must write you to say that I planted 15 acres in 1914 and made more corn per acre than I have ever made in my life.’”’” Many more have written the same. FOR OVER 15 YEARS this uas been one of our standard and most popular varieties, and it continues to grow in popu- larity each year, because the seed we supply is such good seed for making crops of_ corn with a profit. For years we have used ex- clusively the entire seed crop of the origina- tor, and several years on account of the great- ly increased demand, we have refunded a good many dollars, because there is no pedigree stock of this seed other than our own that we would send out under our name. Farmers’ Pride though originating in North Carolina has given excellent results from Florida to Texas. Several Florida customers have made 60 to 80 bushels an acre. We call it 90 per cent corn, because the pedigree ears selected as stock seed must weigh at least 15 ounces with a cob weighing not over 1 1-2 to 1 5-8 ounces. inches in length, 14 to 20 rows deep, perfectly shaped grain. Farmers’ Pride runs 2 to 3 ears on each stalk, the ears being 7 1-2 to 8 1-2 Makes the finest of meal and hominy, and ranks high in protein. Matures crop in 100 days and cures quickly. Is an excellent variety for dry seasons. Stalks of medium size, ears low down, and have heavy shuck. Stalk stands up fine in heavy winds and bad weather. Our pedigree seed will produce 126 bushels per acre. The years of careful selecting and weeding out of unproductive stalks has practically eliminated all barren stalks, so that EVBRY STALK IN THE FIELD MAKES CORN. It is an extra fine variety and we are sure that every one who has planted our seed has been well paid for the investment. Price, postpaid, packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 50 cents. Not prepaid, 1-2 peck, 75 cents; peck, $1.00; 1-2 bushel, $2.00; 1 bushel, $3.50. ] 40 ALEXANDER’S GOOD SEED, AUGUSTA, GA. ALEXANDER’S YELLOW PRIZE WINNER CORN THE BEST SOUTHERN YELLOW Do you want to win ALL THE PRIZE MONEY FOR YELLOW CORN at the 1916 cornshows? If you do, plant ALEXANDER’S YELLOW PRIZEWINNER, the purest, most perfectly developed, highest yielding yellow corn grown in the South. It already has the-greatest record of any yellow corn as a prizewinner, both for large yields and perfectly developed ears, and there is mighty little chance for any other yellow corn to get ahead of it because our pedigree seed crops are being so carefully reselected and improved every year. There is no yellow corn today that can get in reach of it as a prizewinner. One of our customers has taken two $75.00 prize buggies in two years and others have won numerous cash and other prizes. YOU WILL GET THE PRIZES AND GOOD BIG PROFITABLE CROPS OF RICH YELLOW FEED CORN IF YOU PLANT OUR PEDIGREE SEED. We have never been:able to obtain or seen any one make ae large. satisfactory yield from northern or western yellow corn, in the South. For years we have been trying to develop or find a FIRST CLASS, PURE BRED, YELLOW PROLIFIC CORN, of STRICTLY SOUTH- ERN ORIGIN. We have tested out a great many selections, in these years, but found noth- ing satisfactory until 1910, when we found this selection, a number of farmers who had plant- ed it, told us it was the BEST Yellow Corn they had ever seen. Judging from the uniform size and development of the ears selected in different counties of South Carolina, we concluded that it must be just what we had been looking for so long. We secured from the propagator several bushels of his most perfect stock. Our tests proved it to be ALL THAT COULD BE DESIRED IN A PURE BRED, YELLOW PRO- LIFIC, FOR MAIN CROP PLANTING IN THE SOUTH. After showing beyond doubt its excellent quality and superiority over any other yellow corn, we offered it for sale. We are pleased to say our judgment has proven absolutely correct, which has been verified by the splendid yields made by customers who have planted it from one to three years. It is a first class, ‘‘all round’’, yellow corn, that you can plant on any sort of corn land. Some have planted it early, others as late as June. The yields are -iniformly satis- factory whenever planted. This corn is classed as a prolific type. Makes a good average sized ear, perfectly filled out from butt to tip, thus showing the result of careful breeding which was carried on by the propaga- tor for a good many years. The small, red cob is covered with straight, even rows of beautiful yellow grain of rather a flinty quality, making it a splendid keeper, and especially valuable for feeding work stock, on ac- count of its large percentage of protein or muscle building food. That yielding quality of this corn has been developed to a high point is proven by its many large yields at very low cost per bushel. The propagator averaged 93 3-4 bushels, actual weight shucked, on five acres. One of our customers in Burke County, Georgia, bought a peck for two dollars, planted it in May and made 225 bushels. Many others have reported splendid yields and we have only had one dissatisfied planter of this corn since we first offered it. It is 2 «trong. vigor- ous grower, and will make a yield on uplands or river bottoms in proportion to the quality of the soil and culti- vation. We have tested it thoroughly and now recommend it to you because we know it is the best yellow - prolific corn ever produced in the South, and you know our recommendation is a practical guarantee of satis- faction. We have selected a very fine lot of seed this year. As demand for this corn has always been larger than ‘we could supply, and this is usually so of all our special pedigree stock, would advise that you place your ‘order early.

Alexander’s Big White Prize Winner or Improved Shaw Corn We Offer You in This Gorn the Only Thorough Produced 141 Bushels Per Acre bred Stock of This Large Eared Type With Only $6.00 Worth of Com- Bred up and grown in the South. Its pedigree runs mercial Fertilizer back nearly fifty years, when the father of our present grower began selecting and improving it toincrease his pion Eee end» com yield per acre; and from that day to this it has been the at Georgia-Carolina fair only variety grown onthefarm. When we first of- ix fe rB Gs N 1910° fered the variety to our customers, a number of eas mP NC; sh = ago, after carefully testing it, the seed was Pe Ribbon hi nes rst-class for that period, and the crops produced Tize for heaviest were much abovethe average. At thesame yield per acre. time we were not thoroughly satisfied with it, believing thatit could still be improved in several points and the reproductive power of the seed strengthened by more scientific methods of improvement. Our work since then, combined with the enthusiastic and careful work of our grower, has produced won- derful results, . Each year a slight improve- ment has been made—each year knowledge has been _ gained which has enabled us to produce each succeeding year a more per- fect type and nearer to the stand- ard or idea! for this class of corn. We haveseen many varieties of Southern grown corn in all the Southern States, and are always searching forimprovements. We have paid fancy po forspecial -selections of all varieties that have given any promise of being an improvement over the varie- ties we offer. All of these have been tested fer several years, yet 12 Ears of Our Stock of Shaw’s Improved Corn up to date we have found no se- lection of this big eared type that has anywhere near come up to our stock on our own farms, or in various lo- calities where we have had them tested. These years of careful breeding and thorough selection could produce but one result—a perfect tvpe or variety, which is a strong, vigorous grower and a heavy yielder. It will make more big, perfect prize winning ears Per acre than any other. It makes the !argest ear. It makes the most perfect ear. It makes the finest looking ear. It makes the heaviest ear. It makes the lar- gest per cent of grain per ear of any large eared corn. It Is the best keeping big eared corn. It has no bar- ren stalks, no nubbins, It pays to plant the purest pedigree stock you can get. This is just that kind of seed, and if you want to grow the biggest ears this year and make a heavy yield per acre, we advise placing your order at once for we have always had a larger demand than supply Money is always returned when pedigree stock is sold, as there is no other seed we can afford to send out under ur name. Our ears of Shaw’s Improved average 10 to 12 inches long, 18 to 20 rows perfectly formed white grains set firmly and deeply and covering cob from butt to tip, many ears making over 85% grain. Makes large, strong stalk with usually 2 good ears and an immense amount of forage; is deeply rooted and very storm resistant. No variety of corn anywhere is more carefully handled than this. It is a genuine thoroughbred and your yield will be all that you could desire if you get Alexander’s selection. ? Note the comparison between an average ear of our Shaw’s and the common corn, the kind that makes 10 to 16 bushels per acre. Length of ear of Shaw’s is 12 inches; cob weighs 5!/2 ounces; grain, 20!/2 ounces; total, 26 ounces, and measures nearly a quart—almost three times as much as common corn. This corn planted in 3/e-foot rows and same distance in drill, will give 3,536 hills per acre, and with one average ear per hill will make 79/4 bushels. It usually makes two good ears per stalk. It has a record yield of 133 bushels in regular crop. Five acres planted in this seed will make more and better corn than fifteen of the ordinary corn; the rea- son Is:—Most of the seed usually planted is not selected in the right way, you have too many barren stalks and hubbins. 1t will pay you to plant some of our Shaw Corn, IMPROVED SHAW CORN COMMON CORN Price: Packet, 10c; '/2 pint, 15c; pint 25c; | quart, 40c; postpaid.

THIS IS THE BIGGEST, BEST, LARGE EARED WHITE, SOUTHERN CORN. It continues each year not only to hold its lead, but gains in quality as the most prolific large eared “orn. A SURE CROPPER of the finest quality. There’s only one other corn in the world that will out-yield it. THAT IS, ALEXANDER’S GENUINE PEDIGREE SIX EAR PROLIFIC. PLANT YOUR CROP IN THESE TWO AND YOU WILL HAVE PLENTY OF CORN TO FEED AND SELL NEXT FALL. | Alexander’s Six-Ear the Most Prolific PURE BRED WHITE CORN will make for you the _ LARGEST QUANTITY and the BEST QUALITY This strictly Southern corn of ours which has been carefully improved and_ selected for nearly twenty years, is grown EXCLU- SIVELY for us from originator’s pedigree seed stock which we always keep up to the HIGHEST STANDARD of PERFECTION. The seed we offer you is the most carefully selected, most prolific strain of ALL prolific varieties. It is strong, healthy stock, full of vigor. No eifort is spared each year to improve its yield by the most careful and up-to-date methods of breeding and selecting. The hun- dreds of high yield records at low cost per bushel that our pedigree seed has produced, the many valuable corn show records it has captured, and the prizes won have proven that the breeding and Im- provement of corn is of as much importance as in cattle and horses. You can buy an ordinary cow for from 20 to 50 dollars, but you cannot get a PURE BRED, with a pedigree and a first class heredi- tary record of milk and butter fat production for any such price. Some folks say ‘‘a pedigree is no good, and that heredity don’t count for anything,” but we have always noticed that those who believe the other way, and buy the best bred seed and stock, have the best farm and make the most money out of farming, with few exceptions. You will find this seed has been so well bred and selected that it contains the reproductive power necessary for growing a vigorous Plant, to produce well developed ears of the best quality grain. In numbers of tests of average field run stock, used for feed, It has shelled out 60 to 62 pounds good sound grain, from each 70 pounds of ear corn. Every year we have had to increase the acreage of this variety to keep up with the demand caused by the fine yields made from our seed. Though we have never had a crop failure, and only one slight shortage, our sales have increased so every year, that the supply has sometimes not been sufficient. We have had to return money on late orders, some years. One year recently we returned nearly four hundred dollars sent for this variety. You can always depend on getting only Alexander’s Pedigree Seed or your MONEY BACK. We recommend our SIx Ear Corn to you with- out reserve. A GOOD CORN CROP ON YOUR FARM WILL PROVE A MONEY SAVER AND A MONEY MAKER IF YOU PLANT THE RIGHT SEED. PLANT ALEXANDER’S SIX-EAR—THE SURE CROP CORN _ It is highly recommended as a POOR LAND CORN, both for sandy and clay uplands, and about Augusta in the rich river bottom it has made the best yields ever known. ‘The cob is small and white, the grains are deep and well filled out, making the grain fit around the cob close and solid. It is rich in protein, the moisture content is low, making it cure quickly in the field, thus preventing loss. The shuck aiso completely covers the ear, which keeps out both rain and insects. It makes from 4 to 8 ears per Stalk, and we have seen 11 ears from one seed. It Is a good keeper, being less troubled by weevils than any selection we have seen. it is almost equal to “‘Sweet or Sugar Corn” for roasting ears. A customer told us on Oct. 30th that he had on the previous day enjoyed tender roast- ing ears from this variety planted in his garden. It roots deep, which accounts for its always withstanding drought and making. a good yield. This also enables it to stand severe storms without blowing down. It now matures in about 110 days and has a record yield for clear net profit of about $1,200, but this was done on a prize acre. It’s the surest cropping, best white corn for you to plant on upland, or lowland, on rich land or poor wherever corn will grow In the South. But you must have Alexander’s Genuine Pedigree Seed For Most Profitable Results. Hernando Co.. Fla., Aug. 30, 15. “Send me catalog of your “PRIZE WINNER” CORN “SIX EAR’’.
