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. Tendergreen—see new stringless green pod. 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. r, , A ve ductive long, round-podded Giant Stringless Green Pod vanlete. longer and straighter than Burpee’s Stringless.

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. 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 fesny tears of excellent quality, delicate pale green in color. , is 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, which 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 Vitoro%s and very productive. Pods and beans resemble Fordhook Bush Limas. Therefore also known as Fordhook Pole. e aes ARE ~ ehad eyes Dae 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 sev- 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 highly pleabel with all ue seeds we purchased from you and you will soon receive our order for next year’s su : - . ae Sincerely, Bruce H.

These varieties require no support, are about two weeks Early earlier than the pole beans, and can be planted closer in Leviathan the rows. They are therefore used by large growers and by gardeners who do not find it convenient to use poles. After danger of frost is past and the ground has become warm, plant in 8 foot rows dropping 3 seeds to a hill and the hills 15 inches apart. ee ee Ne ee Heaviest yielding high quality bush lima.

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 is grown from transplanted roots which have been carefully selected as to both interior and exterior color, tops, shape and uniformity of size. It could be grown much cheaper if we were supplying our trade just ordinary commercial beet seed. Superior seeds can only be grown from specially selected parent stocks. Perfect in shape and of a beautiful red color, very uniform in shape and New Model size, the entire crop maturing during the same week. Forces well under glass. This variety fills a definite need among the market gardeners and has met with success. Practical growers realizing the superior qual- ity of this strain are ordering in 25, 50 and 100-pound lots, using this one variety throughout the entire season, 25 Ibs. and 50 Ibs. $1.85 Ib.; 100 Ibs., $175.00 Crosby’s Egyptian Smooth, globe shaped, deep red in color, tender, sweet and richly palatable when served. This should not be confused with Flat Egyptian as it is similar only in point of earliness. Careful comparison with other Detroit Dark Red prominent strains of this va- riety show that our stock is unsurpassed in quality and appearance. The tops are small and upright in growth and the roots are globular, of medium size, very smooth and of a wonderful dark red color throughout. Very desirable for canning. Popular bunching variety in some Early Wonder sections where a light-colored beet is desired, and white zones are not objectionable. Extra Early Flat Egyptian earliest, excellent for forcing and early crop. Roots are distinctly flat, very dark red, have very small tap root and are of fine quality when young. They measure 2 inches in diameter when mature and have very small tops. Bright red outside, flesh pale pink- Half Long Lentz ish white, sweet, about 2 by about 4 inches top shaped. Half Long Red or Lutz Green Leaf Five te six inches long, 2% to 3% inches diameter at shoulder, half long, top shaped, dark maroon red, flesh deep blood red.

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. varieties should be planted in May and transplanted in July to rows 8 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. 8 J. MANNS & CO., Baltimore, Md.

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.

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.

For early crop sow in a seed-bed in September or October and protect 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. Cornell No. 456 A very sure heading Imperial type, resistant to early bolting and to tip burn.

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.

Sow in shallow drills, not less than a foot apart nor more than half an inch deep.

J., under Irrigation Champion Extra Dark Moss Curled Manns Parsley grown Superior Seeds ——————————————_ J. MANNS & CoO., Baltimore, Md. 25 Long Pod Alaska 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. i 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 Vine strong and vigorous, 2 to 2% feet high, of a | Extra Early Alaska peculiar light green color, pods 3 to 3% inches long, straight and blunt at the end. Is ready for picking 49 to 50 days from planting. Seed round, blue, slightly pitted. Matures crop very evenly. Early Bird The most used and best extra early, large podded Dwarf now on the market. Very desirable for market gardeners and truck- | ers. Seed is practically smooth, dark green in color, can be planted as early as the Alaska. Produces a strong, vigorous vine, dwarfed in length. Pods produced in 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 4 favorite with truckers and shippers to Northern mar- kets, producing a very early crop of large, broad, well-filled, dark green pods. Equally as hardy as Extra Early Alaska and much larger. The vines usually grow three feet high and the crop will remain fresh a long time after picking. Mammoth Podded Extra Early #2, ° ee Crego Aster Chrysanthemums—See page 52 ANTIRRHINUM OR SNAPDRAGON This border and bedding plant of long blooming season is now one of the best perennials suitable for flowering as an annual.

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 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. SPENCER VARIETIES AMBITION. Rosy lavender. BLACK DIAMOND.

MANNS & CO., Baltimore. Md. Annual Flower Seeds Perennials are used extensively in old fash- - joned 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 according to their color, height and season of - bloom. The seeds may be sown indoors or in hot beds early in the spring and transplanted to their permanent locations when three or four inches tall. Very satisfactory results can also be ob- tained by sowing the seeds early in August and shading from excessive heat by using lath or burlap screens.

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 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 apart each way, in deeply spaded soil. place, where frost will not reach them.

Does your soil need plant food? If so, what elements are lacking? Does it need lime? How much lime? Or, does it need acid? 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. 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, Save money and increase your profits by knowing the possibilities of your 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 NE COBEERY, in ue formation of chlorenuyls ° is the “top growth” element needed for leafy Nitrogen 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 genet aura: Boke ; 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, otas 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. MODEL D (as illustrated)—Contains enough soil testing solutions to make 20 individual tests. $2.50. JR.

VERMICULITE (Terra-Lite Brand) Expanded Vermiculite is a new sensational sterile, inert, plant growing medium obtained from natural deposits in Montana. Work done by the U.S.D.A. at Beltsville and Glen Dale, Md., definitely proves this propagating material far superior to mixtures of sand and soil, sphagnum moss, etc., for producing the finest seedlings and best rooted cuttings. Processed at 2200° heat, there are no weed seeds, no disease organisms, no “dampening off”. It holds water, air and applied plant foods readily available, therefore seeds germi- nate quickly, grow faster with much stronger roots and therefore transplant better. Cuttings of even very difficult varieties are easily rooted. Vermiculite has many other hor- ticultural uses such as soil corrective, mulch, for bulb storage, etc. Packed in bags of approximately 2% cu. ft. weighing about 20 lbs. $1.50 Each.
