It hasta full heart, Long rib, is very crisp and tender, and is more easily blanched than other strains of celery. It received the first prize at the 1937 Pennsyl- vania Farm Show at Harrisburg. We have grown many other strains of celery at a much higher cost but haye found that your Golden Special beats them all. Yours very truly, Arno H. Mende & Son. * Our catalog goes to press before the 1938 show, hence the reference to the 1937 results.

Resembles sugar corn, an excellent shipper and a money maker. Qt., 35c; pk., $2.00; bu., $7.50. HYBRID CORN Every market gardener should now “get wise” to hybrid corn if he has not already done so. The increased yield of handsome, prime quality ears assures far greater profits than is possible with regular varieties. The crop matures uniformly and can therefore be cut in large quantities at one time. (See pages 16 and 17.) CUCUMBER STRAIGHT 8—An “All American” Gold Medal Winner of PARSLEY 1934.

RUTABAGA NEW CANADIAN—Grown for a number of years in the North and held very closely by private individuals, the seed of this variety has always been extremely difficult to procure in a true and reliable type.

TOMATOES Improved Advance Special Marglobe Rutgers Certified Scarlet Dawn (See page 36) RUTGERS tomato has become so popular due to its quality and yield that it naturally has had wide distribution and publicity. It is very important however that seeds of this new variety be purchased from the most reliable sources, as some stocks have been grown more carefully than others and preservation of the original qualitites has been an expen- sive item in its reproduction. Manns’ stock of Rutger’s is not only certified but has been produced from stock seed which we have proven to be superior to two other certified stocks. Oz., 40c; %4 Ib., $1.25; Ib., $4.00. , Georgia. J. Manns & Co. Ensor and Forrest Sts. Baltimore, Md. Gentlemen: No doubt you will be interested to know of my experi- ence with the Rutgers Certified tomato seed that I got from you last spring. These seeds were planted at the same time as four other varieties I was testing. They began to ripen as soon as the earliest varieties and I continued picking on them until frost. As an all around producer, I consider them the best of any tomato I have tried. Yours very truly, J. W. RAPPE.

Beans are tender and should not be planted until the soil is well warmed. Sowing too early will often result in a poor stand and uneven ripening. Sow the seed 1% to 2 inches deep in rows not less than 18 inches apart and firm the soil to assist germination. Allow the plants to stand 4 to 10 inches apart in the row according to variety. Shallow cultivating and hoeing should be done frequently until the vines are in blossom. To prevent blight do not cultivate deeply and avoid workine them while the vines are wet. Beans grow best in a warm, well-drained, sandy loam. For succession plant every two weeks until about August 15th. ROUND GREEN PODDED VARIETIES Asgrow (Stringless Black Valentine.) Fully as early as the regular stringy Black Valentine but producing exceptionally long, oval or nearly round pods. Extremely prolific, entirely stringless, and of highest quality. Black Valentine Stringless (Round Pod)—Produces strictly round, stringless pods. Not as early nor as prolific as the oval type and will not stand planting as early. Its real utility lies in the slenderness of its pods for canning. ’ ° Vv 1 d Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod (Improved ) Vers nopuiat ang grown by either trucker or home gardener. It combines vigor, earliness and productiveness. The pods are produced in abundance and are handsome in appearance, being rich dark green in color, smooth, absolutely round, meaty, stringless, free from fiber, and of exceptionally delicate quality. Mature for picking condition in 45 days. New Stringless Green Pod This new highly productive strain has many Full Measure characteristics bred into it. Its prolific nature, season of growth, length, roundness of pods and appearance, are definitely inherited and yet to these very desirable features has been added a wonderful degree of hardiness which helps New Stringless with- stand adverse weather conditions better than its parent stock. Giant Stringless Green Pod A very productive long, round-podded variety, longer and straighter than Burpee’s Stringless. Dwarf Horticultural or Dwarf Cherry One of the best dwarf sorts for green shell beans for the home garden and market and can be used early as a snap bean. As — a green shelled bean it is equal to the lima in quality while any surplus crop can be kept for winter use. The pods are 5 inches long, stout, flat and stringless. They are green at first changing as they mature to yellow splashed with carmine. The dried seeds are large, almost round, light buff spotted with dark red. Our special stock of this variety is superior to the old style Dwarf Cherry, being entirely stringless and free from runners. Commodore Winner of the All-American Award of Merit for 1938. A bush ; type of Kentucky Wonder; pods 8 to 9 inches long, nearly straight, brittle, very fleshy, entirely stringless, medium early, plants vigorous and of upright growth. 75c per |b. Full Measure Stringless A second early, round-podded, stringless = bean of recent introduction. The pods are straight, meaty, and are dark green in color. They are entirely stringless and measure 6 to 8 inches in length. Very prolific.

SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS POLE LIMA BEANS 1 quart to 150 hills; 8 to 10 quarts per acre. _Pole beans do not bear as early as the bush varieties but they are more productive, their bearing season is longer and they are more easily gathered. They succeed best in a warm sandy loam which has been enriched with well rotted manure. If poles are used they should be set three to four feet apart each way. After the ground has become warm and dry, plant 4 to 6 beans to a pole and when well started thin out to 2 or 3 plants to a pole. By placing the seed eyes down they will germinate more quickly and for this reason are less liable to rot. Cultivate frequently but shallow. , The Early Leviathan stands supreme because of its combined Early Leviathan qualities, earliness, size and productiveness.

If wanted very early, sow in hot beds and trans- plant, cutting off the outer leaves. For early outdoor crop plant the seeds about 1 inch apart and 1 inch deep in rows 1 to 2 feet apart, firming the soil about the seeds by walking on the row. This should be done as soon as the ground can be worked and for table use, plantings should be made every three weeks. Thin out the plants to 3 inches apart. For main crop sow in the early part of May while for winter use they may be planted up to July Ist. MANNS’ BEET SEED is grown from transplanted roots which have been carefully selected as to both interior and exterior color, tops, shape and uniformity of size.

Our stock is grown from choice selected and transplanted roots only. and are of the truest type and richest color money can procure. CULTURE.—Any good soil will grow this vegetable, but the most perfect roots, however, are developed in rich, fri- able soil, preferably sandy loam. The flavor and tenderness of the table varieties is secured by having a quick growth, which usually means good growing weather and proper cul- tivation. Sow as early as the ground can be worked or for late crop until the latter part of July, in drills 15 to 18 inches apart, finally thinning the plants to 3 to 4 inches in the drills. The seed is slow to germinate and if sown early or on moist soil, half an inch is deep enough. When sown during the hot summer months it is well to protect the seed bed with a thin layer of chips or straw as excessive heat will kill the vitality of the seeds before they germinate. After the seed has sprouted remove the covering, selecting the late afternoon for this work. Carrots are usually quite free from pests and diseases. The usual danger from ground worms and slugs is of course always prevalent, but once up they are easier to grow than most vegetables. They are ready for table use in about two months. California Bunching A t llent, Chantenay or Model Carrot 4 most excellent, half-long variety. Very uniform, stump-rooted but tapering slightly.

California Bunching Chantenay Sunrise This variety has become a favorite with our market garden trade because of its fine quality, perfect shape and attractive color. Sunrise has been found to be specially valuable for medium and late use, an excel- lent keeper and thoroughly dependable. It is of most per- fect form, pointed-rooted, with a broad, high shoulder. For main planting this sort has no superior, and when sown dur- ing June may be depended upon to produce the very best crop of roots to store for winter. This is an exceptionally fine Danvers Half Long Carrot for private and market garden use.

Yellows Resistant Varieties marked * CULTURE.—The best results are obtained from a well- drained, deep rich loam. The very early varieties should be sown about September 15th and in 4 or 5 weeks transplanted to coldframes, from which they are transplanted to open ground from March 15 to April 15. If this is not done the seed should be sown in hotbeds in February; making plant- ings later of course according to variety and time crop is wanted. The earliest sorts should be set out in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches apart in the rows. If it is not especially desired to have early cabbage the seed may be sown in open ground and transplanted after 4 weeks. For second early crops sow in April and transplant in May; these will mature in July and August. The later varieties should be planted in May and transplanted in July to rows 3 feet apart and 2 feet apart in the rows; these will mature from September to November.

It is now possible with these resistant stocks to grow cabbage successfully even on diseased land, by sowing seed which is grown under special conditions to make it resistant. While the cost of this seed is somewhat higher than non-resistant seed, there is the added advantage of securing stock which has been reselected for conformity to true type and heading quality. Therefore these improved varieties are most desirable for both diseased and clean ground.

Celery seed is very slow to germinate and therefore should be started indoors in boxes from February to April or sown out of doors in a finely prepared seed bed during April. See that the seed is not covered too deep and that the bed is kept moist, almost wet until the seeds germinate. When the plants are about two inches high thin out and transplant to a distance of two or three inches apart each way. These must be kept entirely free from weeds and when they are four inches high the tops may be cut off so that the plants will grow more stocky. The plants are usually set out in the permanent bed when five inches high and it is usually best to do this during July or the first of August. In some sections best results are obtained by transplanting in June. The permanent beds should be thoroughly prepared and well enriched with rotted manure, which should be spaded in deeply, the rows being spaced 3 to 4 feet apart. Cut off some of the root and set the plants 8 to 12 inches apart in the rows, firming the soil tightly, and cultivate them fre- quently for a period of six weeks. Celery needs plenty of moisture. When the plants are nearly full grown they should be blanched. This is done by drawing the soil closely about the plants to about two-thirds of their height, being careful not to allow any of the earth to fall between the leaves. Repeat this process every few days until only the top of the leaves are visible. Do not disturb the plants while they are wet or the soil is damp as this is liable to result in injury from rust. This new strain of Golden Self- Golden Plume Blaneching has been pronounced by authorities to be the best of all the early varieties. It matures two or three weeks earlier than any other sort, blanches more quickly and shows less tendency to blight or crown-rot. Distinctly larger and ranker in growth than Golden Self-Blanching; more plainly ribbed and does not grow hollow. The crisp, tender stalks are very broad and the large full plumed centers are displayed to advantage. Manns’ Golden (Special) see page 2. French Golden Yellow Self-Blanching (Originator’s Stock.) Our strain of this very popular sort eannot be excelled in quality or appearance. The plants are of medium size, compact and stocky, with yellowish green foliage.

GROW HYBRIDIZED VARIETIES OF CORN The increased cost is only about $2.00 more per acre, but the yield is increased 25% or more. Practically all of the larger canning companies are now planting Hybrid Corn because of the certainty of a better yield and much better quality. It is important, however, to plant only seed grown by an expert hybridist as hybrid corn is not necessarily all desirable. The process is expensive, highly technical and requires the skill of a plant breeder. Buy Manns’ hybridized corn; it has been grown by experts. Please Note—It is useless to try to save seed from hybrid varieties of corn. They must be newly developed each year.

SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS Re PS 1 J i a SE RUTABAGAS OR SWEDES | Bod Rutabagas require about four weeks longer to mature than ordinary varieties of turnips, but are more solid, of firmer flesh and therefore keep later into the spring. They are for this reason more desirable for storage, while turnips are better adapted for the early market. Sow during July either in drills or broadcast. » e Grown for a number of years in the New Canadian North and held very closely by pri- vate individuals, the seed of this variety has always been extremely difficult to procure in a true and reliable type. After three years of searching and checking in our trial grounds, we have found the correct strain and offer it with every assurance that it will soon become the only Rutabaga grown in this section.

Sow in rows not less than 18 inches apart and one-half to three-quarters of an inch deep. A very popular method, however, is to broadcast the seed between rows of corn or in the cultivated orchard.

Being a rank grower, it is largely used for plow- ing under as a fertilizer. WHITE DUTCH. (Trifolium repens.) Grows naturally in pastures in a great variety of soils and situations; indis- pensable in parks and lawns. CRIMSON CLOVER. (Trifolium incarnatum.) Being an an- nual, it must be sown in July, August and September of each year, and, the spring following, can be cut for soiling by April 20th; for ensilage, May 1st to 15th; for seed, about first week of June. Can be grown in corn, or any cultivated crop. Ten to fifteen pounds necessary to seed an acre. Cover with a light harrow. (Bushel 60 pounds.) ALFALFA OR LUCERNE. (Medicago sativa.) Prefers sand or gravel soil. Wet sub-soil being fatal to the plant. Roots 3 to 4 feet deep, and when well established lasts for years. 2 to 8 crops a year can be cut. Not recommended for pasture. BOKHARA OR WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER. (Melilotus alba.) This slightly resembles Alfalfa in growth, but is much taller, with leafier and stiffer stems. It fre- quently grows 5 to 6 feet in height and branches freely, with slender spikes of small, fragrant, white flowers, which afford an excellent food for bees. (Bushel 60 pounds.) LESPEDEZA SERICEA. Long lived perennial, deep rooted variety suitable for pasture on lands not adaptable to Alfalfa, Sweet or Red Clovers. It is highly resistant to drought; penetrates tight subsoil and does not need fertilizer or lime. Growth the first year is extremely slow and a real pasture or hay crop can- ° not be expected until the second year. For this reason it is advisable to sow a mixture of Korean and Sericea. Sericea survives subzero temperatures but is sometimes damaged by late freezing after growth of the new buds has started. As a precaution the second growth is allowed to go to seed thereby replacing any plants which are lost. Sow with wheat or barley in late spring at rate of 25 lbs. per acre, on firm solid soil. KOREAN. Annual Lespedeza. Superior to Sericea in quality and quantity produced even on poor soil. A good soil builder, ean be pastured until August and then allowed to reseed itself for the next year. J. MANNS & CO., Ensor and Forrest Sts., Baltimore, Md. SEED CHART [41] DWARF ESSEX RAPE This plant is extensively grown for forage, especially for sheep, and for green manure. Prepare the ground as for turnips and sow in June or July in rows two and a half feet apart at the rate of two and a half pounds of seed per acre. SORGHUM OR CANE EARLY ORANGE SORGHUM. This variety is similar in growth to Early Amber, but under fair conditions produces a heavier crop. It is better for stock feeding than the Amber. SUDAN GRASS Sudan, the greatest forage crop, should be grown on every farm, where either hay or pasture is desired. It is highly resistant to drought and stands very heavy grazing. Yields from 2 to 10 tons per acre, is superior to either Millet or Sorghum in feeding quality, and may be fed in unlimited quantities. COW PEAS There is no surer or cheaper means of improving and increasing the productiveness of our soils than by sowing the Cow Pea. It has the power to extract costly nitrogen from the atmosphere and to store the same in the vines and roots, so that the land is enriched and its condition improved. WHIPPOORWILL. A favorite early bunch-growing variety. A prime favorite in the North and West on account of its early maturity and habit of growth. SOY OR SOJA BEANS A Great Drought-Resisting Forage Crop, Producing Immense Quantities of Nutritious Food, Besides Being an Excellent Soil Improver. The Soy Bean is coming right to the front as a great soil enricher, as a food for hogs or cattle, both in the green and dry state. To plow under in the green state it is certainly one of the very best plants, next to Cow Peas. BUCKWHEAT SILVER HULL. A superior variety in every way to the ordinary Buckwheat which it has almost entirely superseded. OATS WHITE SPRING OATS. Our best recleaned stock of these are Choice Northern grown, all heavy oats, which have been recleaned by us.

Even in perennial borders, beds and rock gardens, annuals are very essential to bridge the span between periods of bloom of the perennials and to give desired color effects which are possible only with annuals. Many varieties can be started indoors early and transplanted giving continuous bloom from early summer until frost. Some sorts are very easily grown in late summer to produce plants for the sun- parlor or conservatory where they will blossom during the winter. Annuals bloom more profusely than biennials or peren- nials because it is not necessary for them to store up food or build root systems for succeeding years; their business being to produce flowers and seeds abundantly the first J.

THE SPENCERS are of exceptionally large size, the petals waved and frilled and the general effect remarkably graceful and effective. The plants are of vigorous growth and remain in bloom for a longer time than the Grandifiora sorts. CULTURE.—Grow named varieties of the colors you like best; know them by name in your garden and you will derive much more pleasure from them.. Early in the spring make a trench three to four inches deep in rich, mellow soil, so arranged that no water can stand in it and plant the seed in the bottom, covering at first only one inch deep. When the plants are two inches high, cultivate; and as they grow, gradually fill in the trench. When the plants are about five inches high they should be supported by poultry netting, strings or brush. Water should be applied thoroughly once or twice a week early in the morning or in the evening. The blooms should be picked before they form pods or the plants will soon stop flower- ing.

MANNS & CO., Ensor and Forrest Sts., Baltimore, Md. DAHLIAS, EVERGREENS DAHLIAS Exhibition, Garden and Cut Flower Varieties Dahlias do well in almost any kind of soil, but thrive best in a medium loam. The tubers should be planted in a hori- zontal position, with the sprout up and about four inches below the surface; they should be set three or four feet apart each way, in deeply spaded soil. Mulch with peat moss and allow only one shoot to stand. A good plant food ap- plied just as the buds start to form will increase the size and improve the color of the blooms. If large exhibition blossoms are desired, it is absolutely necessary to disbud. After the frost has killed the flowers, the roots should be removed from the ground, allowed to dry for two or three days, and then stored away in peat moss in a cool, dry, dark place, where frost will not reach them.

P yrox kills bugs —prevents blights A you have to do to keep your farm crops free from leaf-chew- ing insects and fungus diseases is this: Mix Pyrox with water and spray. No need to waste time and effort mixing Bordeaux and arsenicals. We recommend Pyrox because it will not clog the smallest nozzle. It comes out a fine mist and covers the foliage completely, sticking to the leaves even through the hardest rains. Insects die. Blight is prevented. Your farm has 2 chance to show what it really can do for you! There is a size of Pyrox to suit every need! Nicotine Pyrox Tf you have a garden patch, you will want a jar of the new Nicotine Pyrox— Standard Pyrox treated with Nicotine. It not only kills leaf-chewing insects, prevents blight and other diseases, as Standard Pyrox does, but it also kills sucking insects, such as aphis, thrips and leaf-hoppers. Standard Pyrox, of course, is designed for most commercial crops, but in the garden, where sucking insects do so much damage, you will want Nicotine Pyrox. Just mix Yrox. with water—and spray, Without With Nicotine Nicotine Nee LD r.t2 2 xe : $ .49 Bi dhettc ns eee 0 1.75 LOSI ia: ee i 3.00 25 lb. $5.00 5.65 50 Ib 7.25 9.25 100 Ib. 12.50 17.50 300 Ib. 30.00 42.50 [66] J.

CHANNELDRAIN ROOFING Made of COP-R-LOY The Copper-Alloyed Steel That Resists Rust and Corrosion IT DRAINS OFF NEVER FALLS ~ BELOW Channeldrain has a barrier to leaks—a vertical wall run- ning the entire length of the lap—and no water gets by this wall. The channel formed by the patented design of Chan- neldrain roofing carries off the water before it can mount the ridge. This means that Channeldrain roofing goes far- ther than other metal roofing in doing what roofing is intended to do—IT DRAINS OFF ALL THE WATER THAT FALLS ON THE ROOF, permitting the surface to dry quickly and prevents rust under the laps and around nail holes. It is easy to understand the economy in roofing that has these advantages—and only Channeldrain has them. You can apply Channeldrain yourself and enjoy the supe- rior benefits of this modern patented roofing, with freedom from repairs through long years to come. It will save money for you. 28 gauge, 6%c per square foot.

Hartman of the National Acad- emy of Sciences says: “I believe that Hyper- Humus is_ responsible for the general excel- lence of both lawn and plantings.” For many years the U. S. Gov- ernment has used Hyper-Humus in the landscaping and planting of many of its Public Buildings, Post Offices, and Parks. It meets the Government’s standard for landscaping, and is ap- proved for Government plantings in Washington and throughout the East. FIVE HYPER-HUMUS VALUES 1 Hyper-Humus is literally a workshop for bacterial con- version. The millions of beneficial bacteria in Hyper- Humus gives life and fertility to your soil. Hyper-Humus is a storage-house of soil organics... plant food awaiting plant call. Hyper-Humus is a reservoir of normal moisture, assist- ing food conversion, and coming to the aid of your plants when they need it. Hyper-Humus is a regulator of temperature and air -..-80 Vital to plant life. Hyper-Humus has perfect friability...it is easy and pleasant to use; absolutely free from odor and from weed-seeds. Loma A balanced ration of all the Elements science has discovered plants must have to thrive. Clean, odorless, easy to handle. 100% effective.
