VITAMINS AND OTHER NUTRIENTS IN VEGETABLES

CALORIES—Calorie units are measurements of heat or
energy-producing value of foods. Approximately, each
4,000 calories excess over bodily needs becomes 1 pound
of fat.

Calorie intake must vary with: body weight, age, sex,
growth, exercise or work, and temperature.

VITAMIN A—Helps to strengthen vision; protects against
colds and other infections; builds up organs throughout
the body.

excess is taken. It is destroyed in foods by long cooking.

VITAMIN B1—(Thiamin)

VITAMIN B2—(Riboflavin)—The nerve, “morale’’ and

Varieties of Special Merit

QUE general stocks are unexcelled in quality and better seeds cannot be purchased at any price. The following
recently improved strains, however, are worthy of special consideration and should be grown by every pro-

gressive market gardener.

BEETS

MANNS’ NEW MODEL—4Has become a favorite with market
gardeners supplying the most critical trade. A thoroughly
established strain, dependable year after year for its uniform
maturity, deep red color, freedom from light zones, and good
bunching tops. New Model is no longer “new.” It has been
grown for nearly ten years in the vicinity of Baltimore, and
each year our sales of it have increased over the previous
year. We do not know any beet that will beat New Model
as a main crop variety for this section. Page 7.

CABBAGE

oN ;
Paks NTE

CHIEFTAIN SAVOY—Received the award of Merit, 1938
All-American selection. Produces well formed, medium sized
firm heads, outstanding in uniformity and quality. Page 9.

CARROT

STREAMLINER—An ideal new bunching carrot for shippers
and market gardeners. Tops short, rather sparse, dark green,
and strong. Roots long slender, nearly cylindrical; at
maturity 8 to 10 in. long by 1% to 1% in. at shoulder; grow
completely underground. Color very deep orange, cores small
and uniformly red. Page 12.

SUNRISE—A favorite with market garden trade because
of its fine quality, perfect shape and attractive color.
Specially valuable for medium and late use, an excellent
keeper and thoroughly dependable. Page 12.

RADISH

ee

—s <

SCARLET GLOBE No. 8—So uniform in its maturity that
each sowing can be entirely gathered and bunched at one
pulling, with practically no waste. This means more bunches
per row, more time saved in bunching, and the ground ready
for the next crop a week earlier. Page 30.

Superior Seeds

TOMATOES

New Stringless Green Pod

BUSH BEANS

_1 pint to 100 feet of drill; 1 to 1144 bushels per acre.

_ Beans are tender and should not be planted until the soil
is well warmed. Sowing too early will often result in a poor
stand and uneven ripening. Sow the seed 1% to 2 inches
deep in rows not less than 18 inches apart and firm the soil
to assist germination. Allow the plants to stand 4 to 10
inches apart in the row according to variety.

Shallow cultivating and hoeing should be done frequently
until the vines are in blossom. To prevent blight do not
cultivate deeply and avoid working them while the vines are
wet. Beans grow best in warm, well-drained, sandy loam.
For succession plant every two weeks until about August 15th.

Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod (Improved )
Very popular and can be profitably grown by either trucker
or home gardener. It combines vigor, earliness and produc-
tiveness. The pods are produced in abundance and are hand-
some 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.

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.

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.
7 The Early Leviathan stands supreme because of its combined
Early Leviathan qualities, earliness, size and productiveness. The large, well
filled pods are borne in clusters of five to ten and are spaced over the entire vine. They
are well filled with large fleshy beans of excellent quality, delicate pale green in color.
Gi This is the best and most popular main crop variety.
King of the Garden Vines are strong and vigorous; setting pods early and
continuing to bear until frost. Is used extensively by market gardeners because of its
very prolific nature and the immense size of the pods, whieh are very straight and hand-
some; of medium dark green color, broad, flat and filled with four or five large white
beans of finest quality.
Improved Challenger or Improved Dreer’s Pole \i£°°o";, 20s
Pods and beans resemble Fordhook Bush Limas. Therefore also known as Fordhook Pole.

Today we have been pulling down the last of our Lima Beans and stacking the poles
for next year and we cannot help but write you a few lines to let you know how we were
pleased with the Improved Challenger Pole Limas.

To our mind they are the best of all the pole varieties, giving one a plump, green
bean, very succulent or moist, but with still enough meatiness to afford plenty of sub-
stance and carry their green color after they are cooked, with a delicious nutty flavor.

As to their productiveness we are fully satisfied as we have picked as many as 87
large plump green pods off one pole at one time and this after the pole had been picked sey-
eral times during the season, our poles were about 12 feet high and the vines went to the
tops and hung down.

We had another variety of pole limas in the garden that were sent to us by a friend
and found them to be less productive and a thin or flat white bean that did not have the
flavor or attractiveness when cooked, needless to say we will plant only Improved Chal-
lenger from Manns next season.

We are pee neeeee with all the seeds we purchased from you and you will soon
receive our order for next year’s supply. 7 -

TABLE BEETS

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

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

MANNS’ BEET SEED

have been carefully selected as to both
interior and exterior color, tops, shape

CULTURE.—tThe 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.

*YELLOWS RESISTANT VARIETIES—The State of Wis-
consin and several other State Departments of Agriculture
have for a number of years been working on the best com-
mercial cabbage varieties, adapting them to resist yellows
or wilt. It is now possible with these resistant stocks to
grow cabbage successfully even on diseased land, by sowing
seed which is grown under special conditions to make it
resistant. While the cost of this seed is somewhat higher
than non-resistant seed, there is the added advantage of
securing stock which has been reselected for conformity
to true type and heading quality. Therefore these improved
varieties are most desirable for both diseased and clean
ground.

Rorecole—Superior Extra Curled

10 J. MANNS & CO., Baltimore, Md.

BORECOLE Scotch Kale

Extensively grown in this section for market-
ing during the winter :\months, when other vege-
tables are scarce. Borecole should be grown like
cabbage, the seed being sown from early spring
to the middle of August. It is customary to pull
off the lower leaves and let the plant grow on
to furnish a continuous supply.

, This variety is one of the
Hardy Winter most salable and profitable

sorts for either the home or market gardener.
The plant attains a height of 18 inches and pro-
duces an abundance of beautiful light green
leaves, which are densely curled and crimped. It
is extremely hardy and has the additional advan-
tage of putting forth a second crop of leaves after
the first have been gathered or have fallen off.

Superior Extra Curled Green

The leaves of this variety are very
Scotch much more curled than the Dwarf-
Green Scotch, and many more bushels per acre
can be cut due to the extremely vigorous growth,
which is characteristic of this variety. Nearly
as hardy as Hardy Winter, and very popular with
many of our customers.

Curled Perfection 4" _, improved _ type,

specially rogued and
developed from a privately held American stock.
Well curled and of a wonderful dark green color;
winters well and commands top prices.

Dwarf Green Scotch This excellent sort is low

spreading and compact in
its nature of growth, forming a mass of leaves which are
beautifully curled and mosslike in appearance. The color
is an attractive bright green and the quality is excellent.

Just hard

BRUSSELS SPROUTS

1 oz. will sow 500 ft. of drills or 3,000 plants.

Sow in April for early crop or in early June for a late fall
crop. Transplant to rows which are 8 to 4 feet apart, 18 to
24 inches apart in the rows. Will live through the winter
without protection.

; , Found to be the best variety both in
Danish Prize quality and _ productiveness. The

sprouts develop very evenly over the entire stem, the lower
sprouts being as tightly folded and as solid as those higher
up.

1 ounce to 2,000 plants.

For an early crop sow the seed either indoors or in a hot-
bed in January or February, transplanting them to 2 or 3
inches apart, thus allowing the plants to put forth a vigor-
ous growth before being set in the permanent rows.

As soon as danger of freezing is over, set the plants in the
open ground in rows 2% to 3 feet apart and 18 inches apart
in the row. Cultivate often and thoroughly. For fall crop
sow the seeds during April or May. It is well to plan so
that the early crop heads before very hot weather and the
late crop matures after hot weather.

CARROTS

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

Our stock is grown from choice selected and transplanted
roots only, and are of the truest type and richest color
money can procure.

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

, , ; Developed especially as a
California Bunching bunching carrot for long
distance shipping. Roots about 1% in. by 7 in. long, cylin-
drical stump rooted, deep orange color throughout, can be
pulled before maturity or allowed to stand weeks later with-
out becoming overgrown.

A most excellent,
Chantenay or Model Carrot * most excelien’
half-long variety. Very uniform, stump-rooted but tapering
slightly. They are smooth, deep orange-red in color and the
flesh is very crisp and tender. Although a medium early
sort the roots are suitable for use nearly as early as any,
and will also prove very satisfactory if grown for winter use.
Very easily harvested and bunched.

Produced from individual root se-

New Chantenay lected stock, therefore a great im-

provement in uniformity of size and shape. The principal
feature of this new strain, however, is its deep solid color.

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.

CELERY

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

Celery seed is very slow to germinate and therefore should
be started indoors in boxes from February to April or sown
out of doors in a finely prepared seed bed during April. See
that the seed is not covered too deep and that the bed is
kept moist, almost wet until the seeds germinate. When the
plants are about two inches high thin out and transplant to
a distance of two or three inches apart each way. These
must be kept entirely free from weeds and when they are
four inches high the tops may be cut off so that the plants
will grow more stocky. The plants are usually set out in
the permanent bed when five inches high and it is usually
best to do this during July or the first of August. In some
sections best results are obtained by transplanting in June.

The permanent beds should be thoroughly prepared and
well enriched with rotted manure, which should be spaded
in deeply, the rows being spaced 3 to 4 feet apart. Cut off
some of the root and set the plants 8 to 12 inches apart in
the rows, firming the soil tightly, and cultivate them fre-
quently for a period of six weeks. Celery needs plenty of
moisture.

When the plants are nearly full grown they should be
blanched. This is done by drawing the soil closely about
the plants to about two-thirds of their height, being careful
not to allow any of the earth to fall between the leaves.
Repeat this process every few days until only the top of the
leaves are visible. Do not disturb the plants while they are
wet or the soil is damp as this is liable to result in injury
from rust.

This new strain of Golden Self-
Golden Plume Blanehing 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.

? , A more uniform strain of
Manns Golden Special Golden Plume, has hatter

hearts, is earlier and more easily blanched than other types.
Strictly dependable for commercial production.

French Golden Yellow Self-Blanching

(Originator’s Stock.) Our strain of this very popular sort

strings and of a fine nutty flavor.

GROW HYBRIDIZED VARIETIES OF KNOWN ADAPTABILITY

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 and has proven profitable for this section.

Please Note—It is useless to try to save seed from hybrid
varieties of corn. They must be newly developed each year.

way, with 8 or 10 seeds in each hill, cover half an inch deep, smoothing the hill off with
the hoe. Keep the soil well stirred, and when the plants are out of danger of insects,

through the winter with cold frames, which should be re-
moved as soon as danger of severe freezing is past. Lettuce
in the open ground will stand some freezing but is killed by
prolonged frost or frequent freezing and thawing. The seed
may also be sown in hotbeds in March, and the plants, if
well hardened, may usually be set in the open ground in
April, maturing a crop much earlier than complete open
ground cultivation would produce. If, however, it is not
convenient to get the plants started either in the fall or
early spring in hotbeds, the seed may be sown in open ground
from the middle of April until July, selecting varieties suit-
able for the season.

The plants should stand 8 to 10 inches apart in the rows,
and the rows should be about 18 inches apart.

ONIONS

To grow large bulbs 1 ounce to 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 pounds to the acre.
To grow sets 10 ounces to 100 feet of drill; 50 pounds to the acre.

The Onion must have a clean and very rich soil. Use well rotted
manure freely, and get the seed in as early as possible in the spring, no
matter if it is cold and unpleasant. If onions do not get a good growth
before hot, dry weather, the crop is sure to be a failure. Keep the soil
mellow and clear of weeds. Sow in shallow drills, not less than a foot
apart nor more than half an inch deep. As onions grow on top of the
ground, they may be allowed to remain pretty thick, no matter if they
crowd each other. In hoeing, destroy weeds and keep the ground mellow;
do not cover the young bulbs with earth.

PEAS

1 quart to 100 feet of drill; 144 bushels per acre.

Peas grow best on a light, rich, mellow soil under cool and moist weather con-
ditions. Fresh manure and very rich or wet mucky soil should be avoided.

The extra early varieties are very hardy and should be planted as soon as the
ground can be made ready, while the larger wrinkled varieties, which are not as
hardy but of superior quality, may be planted when the soil has become slightly
warmed, as the seed will rot if planted too early.

For private use, sow the seed in double rows, 18 inches apart and 3 inches apart
in the row; for market, in single rows 2 to 3 feet apart and 1 inch apart in the
rows. The peas will give quicker returns if covered only one inch deep, and where
earliness is most important they may be treated this way. Larger pods and greater
quantity will be produced if the seed is planted in trenches three to six inches deep
and covered with only one to two inches of soil. When the plants are five or six
inches high, fill the trench level with the surface. This will result in deep rooting,
prevent mildew and prolong the bearing season. If the peas are covered to the
full depth at first, or if water is allowed to stand in the trenches the seed will not
germinate or grow well. The crop should be gathered as fast as it becomes fit for
use, as even a few ripe pods left on the vines tend to retard the development of the
young pods and prevent the formation of new ones.

FIRST EARLY SMOOTH VARIETIES

Long Pod Alaska profusion and are long, large, pointed and well filled with good sized peas. Is an
excellent cropper and has replaced practically all other extra early varieties.
Long-Podded Alaska A favorite with truckers and Cs a

shippers to Northern mar-

somewhat earlier than Thomas Laxton, but of
the same general type and also fully resistant
to Fusarium wilt. The vines are dark green
and medium heavy; pods single, dark green,
blunt ended, plump and well filled with seven
to eight deep green, semi-round peas of excel-
lent quality. In growth it very closely resem-
bles the Thomas Laxton, which is one of the
parents of the new hybrid, and it carries the
very excellent quality and hardiness of the
Thomas Laxton variety but is several days
earlier. Under normal crop conditions, the
vines range between 30 and 34 inches in
length, depending upon the growing conditions
and come into picking condition between 57
and 60 days.

, This is one of the finest
Laxtonian dwarf early peas. The vines
grow 18 to 20 inches high and produce an enor-
mous crop of dark green pods as large as
Gradus, maturing a few days ahead of this
variety.

4 One of the
Gradus or Prosperity Pre of the
early, long-strawed, wrinkled varieties. Pro-
duces long pointed pods, well filled and of fine

for the market garden or home use.

Strong, vigorous vines of even
P. otlatch growth, 20 to 24 inches in height,
with luxuriant dark foliage, bearing pods
medium green in color, 3% to 4 inches in
length. Broad and pointed at the ends. No
variety known will produce more pods, and no
pods could possibly shell out better. The Potlatch is a
variety from which everyone may expect great things. Fit
for table use 61 days from planting. Seed green, wrinkled,
large in size.

This variety is of the same growth
Thomas Laxton as that of the Gradus, but is usually

three to four days later for market. The pods are square at
the ends instead of having a long, sloping point, and con-
sidered by some to be of a better flavor than the Gradus.

PEPPERS

1 oz. to 1,500 plants.

Peppers should be sown either indoors or in hotbeds early in April
and transplanted to the permanent beds when about 3 inches high in
two foot drills and two feet apart in the drills. The seed can also be
sown in open ground when danger from frost is past but the crop will
naturally be much later. A top dressing of fertilizer or poultry manure
well mixed with the soil when the plants are about 6 inches high will
materially aid in the production of a big crop.

, Plants grow about 2% feet high, and are vigorous;
Royal King compact and very productive, commencing to bear
very early and continuing until killed by frost. The fruit is very large,
bright and glossy and the extremely thick flesh is sweet and mild. They
will stand distant shipping and hold up well for market as they do not
wilt nor become ripe near so quickly as other large varieties. This
strain is extensively grown in the South by large shippers and deserves
the attention of every trucker and home gardener.

Parsnips are well known as a delicious table vegetable but their value for the purpose of feeding cattle and stock is but
little appreciated. The parsnip is rich in saccharine food’which adds greatly to the richness of the milk when fed to cows,
while the fresh, succulent roots
increase the flow of milk as greatly
as does the use of fresh, green food
in the spring. It is especially valu-

1 oz. for 100 feet of drill; 9 Ibs. per acre.

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

SEED POTATOES

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

Potatoes will adapt themselves to various soil conditions as easily as most vegetables.

A better crop will be produced

however, on a sandy loam which contains a quantity of well rotted vegetable matter. A clover sod, vetches turned under in
the fall, or land which was heavily manured for a previous crop supply ideal conditions.

In preparing the seed the eyes should be cut so that the largest part of the surrounding flesh is situated toward the
stem end, because the eyes of a potato always have a root system running toward that end and for that reason the sprouts

eannot draw moisture from the opposite direction.

If the ground you intend to use has produced a scabby crop previously

or the seed shows any trace of disease, the pieces should be disinfected as a preventative.

For a very early crop, run off furrows
about three feet apart and about four
inches deep. Drop the pieces about 15
inches apart in the furrows and cover to a
depth of about 1% inches, gradually filling
in the furrows to level as the vines grow
larger. For main crop it is just as well to
cover the eyes with four inches of soil at
once. If fertilizer is used, apply it either
in the row or broadcast before planting and
be sure that it is thoroughly mixed with the
soil so that the seed is not burned. Fresh ji
stable manure will cause the potatoes to
become scabby. r

Just before the sprouts have appeared
above the ground run a light harrow over
them to kill the weeds and break up the
crust. Continue weeding and harrowing
until there is danger of breaking off too
many sprouts. Cultivate thoroughly and
frequently, being careful not to cut any of
the roots, continuing until the vines have
attained full growth and begin to spread.

Spraying for insects and blight is very
necessary. Red River Potato Mix will give
very satisfactory results in controlling
insects and diseases.

The size and quality of the crop and the
ability to resist disease is directly depen-
dent upon the seed planted and no amount
of cultivation or attention will offset the
uncontrollable results of poor seed. Be
sure of your crop and plant only the best

Maine grown seed potatoes.

Virginia Blight Resistant 4,*' Sune esdecrallc
developed by the Virginia Experimental Station for the pur-
pose of resisting the disease commonly called yellows. Used
extensively in the vicinity of Norfolk and in other sections
where blight is encountered. It matures very quickly and is
therefore preferred for early fall sowing.

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

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

Old Dominion Developed at the Virginia Experimental

Station as a later seeding, yellows
resistant variety by crossing King of Denmark and Virginia
Savoy. The plants are large, dark green, heavily crumpled
and fast growing. It is one of the most hardy varieties for
wintering over and therefore is well suited for either an
early fall crop or for fall sowing to be cut in early spring.

Manns’ Presto Savoy A prickly seeded variety pos-

sessing outstanding merits
over the round seeded Bloomsdale, which it resembles identi-
cally. Presto is the earliest and quickest growing sort of
spinach. It is much hardier than any other variety and will
stand cold and unfavorable weather conditions better than
round seeded sorts.

of standing in perfect condition, without bolting to seed, 10

to spinach growers, for with this variety it is possible to
market the crop when it is convenient and advantageous for
the grower to do so. Many severe losses have been incurred
because cutters were not available, weather conditions un-
favorable, or prices were too low, but Early Long Standing will

For early, the seed should be sown in hotbeds during February or the first week in March, in drills 5 inches apart and

half an inch deep. Later sowing may be made until the last of April.

When the plants are 8 or 4 inches high they should

be set out 4 or 5 inches apart in another hotbed or cold frame, or removed into small pots allowing a single plant to the

pot. Expose to the air as much as possible to harden.

Water freely at time of transplanting, and shelter from the sun a

few days until the plants are established. Cultivate thoroughly as long as the vines will permit, but the last two or three
workings should be very shallow or the crop may be badly injured, especially if the cultivator is run too near the plants.

RUTABAGAS OR SWEDES

Rutabagas require about four weeks longer to mature than
ordinary varieties of turnips, but are more solid, of firmer
flesh and therefore keep later into the spring. They are for
this reason more desirable for storage, while turnips are
better adapted for the early market. Sow during July either
in drills or broadcast.

° Grown for a number of years in the
New Canadian North and held very closely by pri-

vate individuals, the seed of this variety has always been
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.

Our superb strain of this
Neckless Purple Top excellent variety has _ be-
come a favorite because of its hardy and productive nature.
The flesh is sweet and solid, excellent for table use or stock
feeding.

TURNIPS

Turnip—Autumn King

Being primarily a cool weather vegetable, turnips thrive best when planted
in early spring or in the fall. For spring crop sow the seed early in April, while
for fall and winter use, plantings should be made from July to August. Sow in
rows not less than 18 inches apart and one-half to three-quarters of an inch
deep. A very popular method, however, is to broadcast the seed between rows
of corn or in the cultivated orchard. Proper control of root maggots
is effected by rotation of crops, the use of commercial fertilizers in-
stead of manure and the application of Mag-o-tite or other carbolic
acid emulsion.

Chiefly as grain for
horses and other live
stock; cut for hay and
also used for human food.

Hay and pasture.

Hay, early pasture, green
manure, and as human
food.

Very slow grower and may be killed by late spring froet

after new growth starts. Therefore safest to allow it go
to seed each fall. Takes several years to thoroughly
establish itself.

Requires at least 60 days from seeding to maturity. Sow

broadcast and cover lightly. Cut hay just after blooming.
Has about same feeding value as timothy but may become
{njurious if used as a continuous ration for horses.

Well drained moderately rich soll is best. Harvest grain ip
hard dough stage; for hay cut in early milk stage. Fe..
sown oats mature 2 to 3 weeks earlier than spring oats.

Long-lived deep rooted perennial bunch grass. Does best
on heavy soils such as clays and clay loams. Cut in bloom
stage, as |t quickly becomes woody after blooming. Serves
best when sown in mixtures with red clover, alsike, tall
meadow oat grass.

Clay loam soils sult best. Does well mixed with oats.

Drill 2 to 4 in. deep. Cut hay when most of the pods are
well formed.

Pasture for hogs and
sheep.

Thrives on rich, moist loamy soil.

A perennial grass with a creeping habit of growth making
a coarse loose turf. For hay harvest a little before or

Does better than wheat, on poor soils. Suitable to any
well drained soil.

Not an annual but little of it lives more than one year.
Grows rapidly and in bunches. Fall seeding usually makes
a good crop of hay by June. More drought resistant than
Perennial Rye Grass.

More persistent than Domestic Rye Grass.

Any well drained corn or wheat land is suitable. Is heavy
feeder and hard on land. Small grains usually do not do
well following it in crop rotation. May be broadcast,
sowing 50 lbs. per acre or drilled in 3 to 31% ft. rows.
4 to 6 in. apart in the rows. For syrup or silage cut when
seeds are in hard dough stage. When pastured or fed
green there is danger of poisoning to live stock.

Responds well to inoculation. Plant very shallow (about
1 in.) and if crust forms on land before they come up,
break it with a harrow. Harvest seed when leaves have
fallen and pods are brown and dry. For hay, cut when
lower leaves begin to turn yellow and pods about half filled.

Does well on any soil except those that are cold and wet,
good with cowpeas or soybeans. Cut hay just after it is
beginning to head. Drought resistant and produces well
in dry seasons.

One of the best poor land grasses and especially adapted to
well drained sandy soil. Does not like shade. Very
drought resistant, perennial bunch type variety. Cut for
hay about the time of blooming.

Semi-bunch growth. Adapted to heavy soils such as clays
and loams. Usually seeded in mixture with sapling clover,
or with wheat in the fall and the clover on the wheat in
spring. Cut hay when in full bloom or slightly after.

SWEET PEAS

CALIFORNIA GROWN SUCCESSFUL EVERYWHERE

One Ounce for 50 feet of row.

?

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 Grandiflora sorts.

CULTURE.—Grow named varieties of the colors you like
best; know them by name in your garden and you will de-
rive 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 thor-
oughly 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 flowering. The following have
been selected from hundreds of varieties, as being those
of the highest quality in their respective classes.

PERENNIAL FLOWER SEEDS

Perennials are used extensively in old fash-
ioned gardens, hardy borders and rock gardens.
They are easily grown and when once estab-
lished become increasingly beautiful year after
year. Care should be taken in selecting varieties

_ bloom.

The seeds may be sown indoors or in hot beds

permanent locations when three or four inches

tained by sowing the seeds early in August and
shading from excessive heat by using lath or

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.

for therein lies the very foundation of your farming or gardening success.
If so, what elements are lacking?

Look to your Soil piant tooa?

Does your soil need
How much lime? Or, does

Accurate answers to these questions are worth many dollars to every grower because they often mean the difference

between a successful crop and a poor crop.

soil in relation to the chemical requirements of the crop you plan to grow.

The accompanying chart and tabulation of varieties show that most vegetables thrive best in a slightly acid soil.

Save money and increase your profits by knowing the possibilities of your

It is

very necessary however, to first know the pH (or degree of acidity) of your soil as determined by soil tests, before applying

acid or lime, rather than by guesswork.

The desired amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash should also be deter-

mined as a matter of economy. Use a soil test kit and feed your soil the elements which are needed.

PLANT FOOD ELEMENTS

Plants require nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium (the three most important), oxygen, hydrogen and carbon (obtained
from air and water) and the minor elements usually found in the soil in sufficient quantity but also supplied in the better

brands of mixed fertilizers.
These minor elements are calcium, sulphur, magnesium,
manganese, iron and boron. Their functions are largely
indirect, but very essential as they aid the chemical changes
which render other ingredients more available. Calcium
(lime), for example, aids in making the nitrogenous materials
more quickly available and changes the physical nature of
soils. Sulphur seems to exert a beneficial influence on plant
growth and iron is necessary in the formation of chlorophyll.
Nit is the “top growth” element needed for leafy
U rogen vegetables such as spinach, kale, parsley, etc.
Aside from mixed fertilizers, nitrogen can be had in various
organic forms as in bone meal, blood meal, tankage, fish
meal, cotton seed meal and inorganic forms such as nitrate
of soda (tending toward an alkaline reaction), ammonium
sulphate (tending toward an acid reaction), urea and
potassium nitrate. The organic materials are safest to use
as they react slowly and Gp HOE ED: ee ;
z is generally the most needed element, as
Phosphorus the continued use of manures possessing
such a little of it, combined with the fact that most crops
are heavy phosphorus feeders, soils worked for a number
of years are practically depleted of this element. A real
fertile soil is rich in readily available phosphorus. It is
the element which promotes growth and vigor, flowers, fruit
and seeds. Beans, corn, cucumber, tomatoes, turnips and
rutabagas seem to respond to heavy feedings of phosphorus.
It is available in mixed fertilizers, superphosphate, bone
meal and tankage.
P t h is the root growing element. Asparagus, beets,
ovas. carrots, celery, cucumbers, lettuce, potatoes and
radish all respond to extra potash feeding. Sulphate of
potash is best for tobacco, lettuce and leaf crops, while
muriate of potash is most beneficial to carrots, potatoes and
root crops.

KNOW which elements

are needed
in your soil

Practical tests with
the Sudbury Soil Test
Kit will show the
acidity of soil and any
possible deficiency in
nitrogen, phosphorus,
and potash. Each kit
is accompanied by
complete instructions
and tables of plant
needs.

testing solutions to make 20 individual tests. $2.00.

CLUB MODEL—Makes 50 individual tests for nitro-
gen, phosphorus, potash and acidity. Cased in hand-
some sturdy imitation leather. $4.75.

Mr. W. E. 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 made
the Government’s standard for landscaping, and is ap-
proved for Government plantings in Washington and
throughout the East.

FIVE HYPER-HUMUS VALUES

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 norma] moisture, assist-
ing food conversion, and coming to the aid of your
plants when they need it.

INOCULATE ALL LEGUME SEEDS WITH

1898—FORTY-SIX YEARS OF SERVICE—1944
When ordering, Always state name of seed.

. . . 80 vital to plant life.
5 Hyper-Humus has perfect friability . .

Humus makes rich
loamy garden soil out
of common dirt. Added
in sufficient quantity it
will give the soil the
proper texture, help

hold the right amount
of moisture, and retain
plant foods for natural
plant stimulation.

4 Hyper-Humus is a regulator of temperature and air

. it is easy and

pleasant to use; absolutely free from odor and from

weed-seeds.
