MANNS & CO., BALTIMORE 2, MD. ° Bush Beans 1 pt. to 100 ft. of drill; 1 to 114 bu. 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 fre- quently until the vines begin to blossom. Disturbing the roots after the blossoms are formed will cause them to drop resulting in a greatly reduced crop. 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.

MANNS & CO., BALTIMORE 2, MD. 5 Bush Lima Beans 1 pt. to 100 ft.; 1 bu. per acre These varieties require no support, are about two weeks earlier than the pole beans, and can be planted closer in 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 3 foot rows dropping 3 seeds to a hill and the hills 15 inches apart or sow in a row and thin to 8 in. apart. (70 days) Pods 2% Baby Fordhook ene having 3 to 4 tightly packed beans, plant about 15 in., bushy, very prolific. (75 days) Heaviest Fordhook 242 yielding high quality bush lima. Recent U. S. Dept. of Agr. tests at 15 locations throughout the country proved Fordhook 242 more prolific than any of the other four popular commercial varie- ties. The average yield was 8505 lbs. per acre, nearly 25% better than the second best and far ahead of all the other varieties. Burpee’s Improved Bush (76 days) A very prolific mid-season variety of very hardy, vigorous and true bush growth, bearing clusters of 5 to 8 pods measuring about 5 inches long. The pods are borne abundantly and well filled. Pole Lima Beans 1 pt. to 100 ft.; 8 to 10 qts. 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 en- riched with well rotted manure. If poles are used they should be set about 2 feet apart, in rows 4 ft. apart. 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 King of the Garden Pole shallow. Burpee’s Improved Bush (95 days) Vigorous and Improved Challenger very productive. Pods and beans resemble Fordhook Bush Limas. Therefore also known as Fordhook Pole. We quote Mr. Bruce H. Gallup who is a very successful gardener. ‘‘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 substance 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 has been picked several times during the season.” 7 90 days) Popular main King of the Garden ae eee Vines strong and vigorous; setting pods early and continuing to bear until frost. Is used extensively by market gar- deners because of its very prolific nature and the immense size of the pods, which are very straight and handsome; of medium dark green color, broad, flat and filled with four or five large white beans of finest quality. (95 days) The largest podded Giant Podded lima in cultivation; extremely vigorous in growth, mid-season. Pods are borne in clus- ters of 6 to 8 and measure 6% inches long and 1% inches broad.

Smooth beets cannot be grown if fresh manure is used. If wanted very early, sow in hot beds and transplant, 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 part, firming the soil about the seeds. This should be done as soon as the ground can be worked and for table use, plantings should be made every three weeks. Thin 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 August Ist.

CULTURE—The best results are obtained from a well-drained, deep rich loam. The very early varieties should be sown about September 15 and in 4 or 5 weeks transplanted to coldframes, from which they are trans- planted to open ground from March 15 to April 15. If this is not done the seed should be sown in hotbeds in February; making plantings 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 trans- plant in May; these will mature in July and August. The later varieties should be planted in May and trans- planted 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 con- ditions 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. PRICES Pkt. Oz.

CULTURE.—Any good soil will grow this vegetable, but the most perfect roots, however, are developed in rich, friable, slightly alkaline 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 cultivation. Sow as early as the ground can be worked or for late crop until the latter part of July, in drills 12 to 18 inches apart, finally thinning the plants to 2 to 3 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 young plants are shaded from excessive heat, protected from high winds and given just a moderate amount of moisture. Any plants show- ing signs of black stems or mildew are destroyed. When about 5 in. tall the plants are transplanted into 3” to 4” pots and protected from freezing until March. They are then removed to the field into rows 3 ft. apart and 2 ft. apart in rows, setting the plants so that the first leaf or eye is at ground level. As soon as the heads have attained a size of 2 to 2% in. the surrounding leaves are gathered over the small heads and tied with a wooden peg or nail to keep them blanched a clean pure white. The crop is ready for home use or market about June Ist. Some growers prefer to make their first sowing in hot- beds during January or February and transplanting them 2 to 3 in. apart, assuring vigorous growth before being set out in March.

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. Select a rich piece of ground, the richer the better; and for late spring and early summer use, sow the seed dur- ing 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. Number of days indicated shows time required from sowing to earliest cutting date.

All our tomato seeds are grown from stocks, exclusively for seed purposes, by the originators, experienced grow- ers and experts. We are fully convinced of the merit of all varieties before offering them in our catalog, and can strongly recommend our strains as being absolutely reliable. 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 3 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 allow- ing 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.

The tubers should be planted in a horizontal 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 applied 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 flow- ers, the roots should be removed from the ground, al- lowed 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.

NAMES POST OFFICE STATE The very best time of the year to make a new lawn is early in the fall because of ample rainfall, continued cool weather and the winter killing of many weeds. The second best season is very early spring (March and April) because there is sufficient rainfall and cool weather to start the young grass quickly. Spring seeding however must compete with weed seeds in the soil and is sometimes damaged by hot dry weather before it is thoroughly established. Preparing the Soil Preparation of the soil is the most important part of lawn making and should have the most careful attention because no amount of effort spent after a lawn is made can equal the results of thorough tillage before the seed is sown. A successful lawn requires at least 2 to 4 inches of good quality top soil possessing the organic matter and plant foods necessary for sturdy growth of the grasses. However six inches or more of thoroughly prepared finely pulverized and fertilized top soil would be ideal. If existing top soil is of fair quality and at least 2 to 4 inches deep it should not be neecssary to spread additional top soil. It is essential though to apply a good lawn fer- tilizer which is high in phosphate (such as bone meal or the chemical lawn foods) at the rate of 2 to 4 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. In addition to this an application of a one inch layer of humus or a two inch layer of well rotted manure (it must be very well rotted to be weed free) is necessary to supply sufficient organic matter. After spreading the plant food and humus materials evenly, they must then be spaded into and mixed with the top soil to a depth of about six inches depending on the quality of the sub-soil and the depth of the top soil. When this newly processed top soil is completely broken up and thoroughly mixed it should be raked and rolled in both directions until there are no uneven places. A good seed bed has now been prepared and is ready for seeding. Sowing the Seed Sow at the rate of 1 lb. to 200 sq. ft. broadcasting half of the seed in one direction and the other half at right angles. If the soil is dry the surface may be raked very lightly cov- ering seed not over ¥ in. and being extremely careful to avoid “bunching” the seed. Rolling is desirable but only practical if the soil is sufficiently dry so that the seed does not stick to the roller. Many successful lawns are made without raking or rolling in the seed by depending upon the rain or watering to pack the soil firmly about the seeds. If watering is once begun however the soil must be kept damp continuously or the seed may sprout and die off before it has rooted. Clipping should begin when the grass is about 3 inches high but should not be cut closer than 2 inches. Re-Seeding Old Lawns Thin turf or lawns with bare spots can be rebuilt by taking lightly so that the existing grass is not damaged and then seeding as though making a new lawn. Another satis- factory method is to mix seed with top soil or sow the seed and then cover lightly with top soil. In either case the top soil should be free from weed seeds. If the seed is sown early in March it can be broadcast without raking or rolling because the ground is “open” and the late wet snows will carry it in. Fertilizing Timely and ample applications of fertilizers have double advantages. Very early feeding whether Spring or Fall forces growth of the grass during its most natural growing seasons, thereby helping it to crowd out crab-grass and more easily survive hot dry summer weather. A strong healthy turf also stands the rigors of winter so much better. Fertilizer materials are most accurately and easily applied by using a fertilizer spreader. Most materials should be applied when the grass is dry at the rate of 2 to 4 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. then watered in. Lawns that are thoroughly established and are thriving should be fertilized once every two years but aver- age lawns require at least one feeding a year. Rolling During the winter the alternate freeziig and thawing have played “‘tug-o-war’” with the little grass plants in your lawn, heaving them out of the ground so that they are only partly rooted. It is therefore extremely necessary to roll your lawn after the frost is out of the ground and while it is still wet but not soggy. This smooths out uneven places caused by the frost and puts the grass roots back where they can quickly begin producing a luxuriant lawn. Weed Control One of the best weed controls is a good heavy turf, well fertilized very early, cut not shorter than 2 inches and kept seeded to grass so there will be practically no space for weeds to grow. Crab-grass which is perhaps the most diffi- cult weed to combat should be killed by chemicals during June or July. Other chemicals such as 2-4-D are available for clearing lawns of dandelions, plantain and most other lawn weeds. Soil pH For most Maryland lawns the pH values (acidity or alkalinity) should be between 6.0 and 7.5, that is ranging between slightly acid to slightly alkaline, 7 being neutral. The grasses which thrive best in this climate succeed best in this pH range. If the soil is strongly acid (pH 4.5 to 5.0) an application of 10 lbs. of ground limestone per 100 sq. ft. will reduce the acidity to approximately pH 6. Lime should not be used on lawns unless an actual soil test indicates exces- sive acidity. Moss The presence of moss is often considered an indication of acid soil, but it is more often the result of low fertility. During March apply nitrate of soda (1 lb. per 100 sq. ft.) This will kill the moss but not injure the grass. In about two weeks the dead moss may be raked from the lawn and if there are bare spots they should be reseeded at once. 47 Lawn Mixtures have been known for their Manns Manns’ Superior Lawn Grass A correctly proportioned mixture of the most desirable perennial varieties blended according to a formula resulting from years of study and expe- rience.
