SIX GRAND SPECIALTIES IN
Vaughan’s XXX Pickling Cucumber
We introduced the Chicago Pickle, and are always looking for any improvement reaching toward an ideal pickle for the home garden. We have made selections and had them made for us. We have imported and tried many kinds. We found one two years ago that seemed right, and the past season has satisfied us that this which we have named Vaughan's “XXX” is the best we have yet seen. The form, color and arrange- ment of spines is ideal. This Cucumber is unquestionably one of the best for pickling. It is one of the most productive and easiest to pick. Few fruits become overgrown, as the stems are long and the fruits protrude from under the leaves, We imported this Cucumber from Europe, where it has been grown in a Certain district famous for its pickles for a great many years. It is also one of the best Cucumbers for slicing, being very Crisp, solid and of the most agreeable flavor, quite distinct from most kinds. The seed we offer here is American grown.

VAUGHAN’S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES IN VEGETABLE SEEDS.
The following list contains the best novelties in sight for this season, togerner with some of our
best specialties of other years and those of other growers which we believe of decided merit.
Early Giant
Argenteuil Asparagus.
This is the famous Paris specialty. The stalks grow to a mammoth size. When well grown some weigh four ounces. The head is slightly pointed and the scales with which it is covered are very closely set, overlapping one another. It is early and so very vigorous, it is but little troubled with rust. The flavor is superb. Our seed is from one of the largest Asparagus plantations near Paris. Wecan supply this year seed only. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 20c.; % Ib., 40c.; Ib., $1.35.
Pole Bean, Earliest Giant, ««Advance.’’
This is the best all-round Pole Bean. It is the earli- est of all, being a week in advance of all others. Pole Beans yield larger crops than the Bush sorts, bear longer, are hardier and of better flavor. Pkt., 10c., 2 for 15c.; ¥ pint, 20c. (by mail, 25c.); pint, 35c. (by mail, 43c.)
New Pole Bean, «‘Burger’s Stringless.”’ This is one of the best Pole Beans. green and absolutely stringless.
and white. The vines bear fora very long time. Uc, 2 for 25c; % pint, 25c. (by mail, 30c.)
New Round Pod Kidney
Wax Bean.’
The pods are long, The beans are small Pkt.,
. This bean is closely allied to the popular Wardwell's Kianey Wax, differing from that variety in that the pod is perfectly round, somewhat longer and entirely string- Jess. It isof the same seasona the Wardwell’s Kidney Wax, isa very prolific grower and a first-class yielder. The pod is very tender, meaty and entirely free from fibre or toughness, which characterizes the pods of many types. This new sort has great merit. Prices: Pkt., 10c.; pint, 25c. (by mail, 33c.); qt., 40c. (by mail, 55c.); by express, 1% peck, $1.25; peck, $2.25; bush., $8.00.
Garden Pride Bush Bean.
Stringless Green Pod. A champion first early bean, positively stringless, and one of the most prolific bearers grown. It is a strong, rapid-growing vine, free from runner setting; the pods are very long, straight and medium round and delicate light green color. It has a pearly white seed. Price: Pkt., 15c.; % pint, 25c. (by mail, 30c.); pint, 40c. (by mail, 48c.); qt., 60c., (by mail, 75c.)
Giant Scarlet Runner.
The flowers are very large, brilliant scarlet, the pods grow to a length of 12 inches and the vines grow to 10 to 15 feet. Pkt., [0c.; 3 for 25c.
Two-Colored Fire Bean. Like the_well- known Scarlet
Runner, but the flowers are part pink, part white. Very pretty and a splendid climber. Pkt., lOc.
July Pole Bean. (Eight weeks.) One of the earliest, most productive of
the Pole Beans, bearing from 4 to 6 pods on each flower tendril. The pods are thick and tender. Thisis the bean for the home garden, as it does not grow more than 5 or 6 feet high and can therefore be grown on bush like the tall Peas. Pkt., 15c.; 2 for 25c.
Perpetual Spinach Beet,
“‘Lyon.’”’
One of the most useful vegetables known, as it en- dures heat and cold with impunity, and when common spinach is running to seed this kind remains green and succulent and fit for table use all Summer and Fall. In this variety the stalks and midrib are of remarkable width, often 4 inches or more. These stalks are also eaten; they have a very agreeable and quite peculiar flavor. There are few vegetables which require less care during their growth or yield a more certain crop than this variety. Pkt., 0c.; oz, 20c.

Grand Rapids Forcing Cucumber.
This originated with Mr. Davis, the raiser of the Davis Wax Bean and Grand Rapids Forcing Lettuce. It embodies his ideals of a greenhouse cucumber, in regard to size, shape, color and productiveness. Thiscucumber is the result of many years of selection and of reselec- tion. We secured Mr. Davis’ entire stock of seed, which is very small, although we paida very handsome price forthesame.

THE MAGNUM DULCE PEPPER.—This enormous variety appeared several years ago in the fields of T. M. White, Little Silver, N. J., and is most likely across between Chinese Giant and Ruby King. It differs from the former in greater length, while retaining the full thickness, some specimens reaching almost eight inches, thicker flesh and increased productiveness. It is probably the largest pepper grown, and has been introduced to the trade by Vaughan’s Seed Store, New York and Chicago, under the name of ‘‘Magnuim Dulce.” The plantis vigorous and rapidin growth, ripening the great pep- pers early for a large variety. The coloris bright scarlet, quality mild and For market and home use it is not excelled by any large fruited pep- per, and is particularly valuable for those who wish to grow the largest possible
fruits for exhibition purposes.’'—DR. VAN FLEET, in ‘Rural New Yorker.’

ICICLE RADISH.
Icicle Radish, ‘‘Crimson ——$— A 5e The best long white Radish. Giant.”
Entirely distinct, long, slender, pure white. Very early, the earliest and finest long white. It is ready for use fully as early as the Long Scarlet Short Top, with less foliage, rendering it most desirable for forcing. In the open ground the roots continue brittle, crisp and mild until they are fully as iarge as those of the Long Car- dinal. The Icicle is perhaps superior to the fin- est red ones. Roots pure snowy white, four in- ches in length and half an inch in diameter; they retain their crispness and fresh, mild flavor until fully six inches long and an inch in diam- eter.

Pie PumplKin.
This Pumpkin has been for a number of years a first prize winner at the Illinois State Fair, held at Springfield, the center of pumpkin grow- ing. It is very prolific and large. Specimens often weigh as high as seventy-five pounds; av- erage weight twenty toforty pounds. The skin is light yellow color. The larger specimens are most always warted. Flesh is extremely sweet, of a deep orange color. It is a splendid pie maker and is one of the very best for stock feed- ing. Per Ib., $1.50.; % Ib., 45c.; 2 oz., 25c.; oz., 15c.; pkt., (0c.
**Chicago Giant.’’ The New Rhubarb
The largest Rhubarb in existence. The stalks are of enormous size, of a beautiful light red. In flavor it is equal to ‘the best. This is a plant that should be in every garden; all it requires is rich soil. They grow with age; are most useful and also ornamental. Pkt. 25c.; 3 for 65c.
or Wurzburger Forcing.
This new radish is an entirely’ new type, and differs radically from all the varieties hitherto in cultivation, in so far asits roots attain more than double the size of those of other forcing varieties, without getting pithy or hollow. This giant radish develops roots of 6to 7 inches in circumference and over an ounce in weight, their pure white flesh remaining firm and crisp and of the mildest flavor, but notwithstanding the ex- traordinary size and weight of its bulbs it is second to none as a forcing variety. Itis equally well adapted to outside culture. The seed should be sown very thinly to permit full development of the roots. Pkt., [0c.; 0z., 20c.; 2 0zs., 30c.; % Ib., 50c.; Ib., $2.00 Postpaid.
Vegetable Marrow.
This is one of the most important vegeta- bles in the English markets, but little known in thiscountry. The fruit is generally eaten when itis less than half grown, as the flesh is then very tender and marrowy. It should always be used in a young state. Our pack- ages contain cultural directions and recipes for cooking. Pkt., 10c.;0z.,15c.; 20zs., 25c.

The Delicious Squash.
The Best Flavored Squash in Existence.
Its color is almost uniformly of a green shade with occasionally a blue specimen, it being just about as pure in this respect as was the original Hubbard. In sizeit also closely follows the original Hubbard, which weighed between five and ten pounds. In thickness of flesh it surpasses nearly every variety, the color being a dark orange. For table use no squash compares with it in its remarkable combination of fineness and compactness of grain, dryness, sweetness and exceeding richness of flavor. It is a fall and winter squash, being excellent at all seasons; but does not acquire its best quality until winter. Pkt., 10c.; % 0z.; 15c.; 0z., 25c.; % tb., 75c.;1b., $2.50 postpaid.

The strong, upright habit of growth of New Dwarf Stone admits planting, at least a half closer each way than usual. In small gardens set 18x24 inches apart each way. The shape of the fruit is perfect, with a good skin, which is free from cracks about the stem end. It is very solid, ripens very evenly; and is of most excellent quality.

A Word to Our Customers for 1905
Competition.
While our prices here printed are so evidently reasonable that seemingly noth- ing is to be said regarding them, yet there areso many seeds of doubtful pedigree, weak vitality, and undesirable quality generally, offered for sale, that we ask our customers to remember that Vaughan’s Seed Store will not buy or handle at any price vegetable or flower seeds unless raised by experienced growers from stock seeds of known purity and genuineness.
Therefore, we do not believe because you see seeds or plants offered by other firms under similar names that the same are equal in real value to ours, for often they will fill orders with seeds that we would not send out at any price.
About Seed Crops.
The past season has been generally a good one for seed crops both in this country andin Europe. There are very few short items of these, the principal one is beans, whichis short for the third season. Dwarf Peas anda few varieties of vines seeds principally musk melon are the other scarce seeds. Low prices on these seeds should be scanned with suspicion. Scarce items always bring out old and inferior stocks, which ordinarily would be unsaleable. Our stocks are grown especially for us, inspected and tested by us for purity and germination.
Humbug Novelities.
For 28 years our claims for the merits of the seedsor plants, old or new, offered by us, have been most conservative. What a long list of exploded Big Promise Novelties have been tried in American gardens during that time with disappoint- ing results. -
Gardeners.
We shall be pleased to render assistance to our customers who may require gardeners atany time. Weare keeping a list of gardeners who are seeking situa- tions. There is no fee.

VAUGHAN’S SEED STORE
WESTERN SPRINGS, ILL.
Knowing the Business.
Seeds, like drugs, require expert knowledge to handle and sell them. Seeds are of little value for pleasure or profit when bought through inexperi- enced hands, and from unknown or doubtful sources. Our stock books show tecord of grower, date of crop, and vitality test of all seeds sold by us. We sell large packets of fresh seeds, the best of their kind, and worth as much more than penny packets as we ask for them.
True Descriptions.
We have made most careful comparisons through our entire lists, both in our own trials and careful observation of many European testing grounds, and our descriptions of all varieties here offered will be found as true as we can make them. The merits of one kind are compared with those of similar sorts, thus enabling the purchaser to arrive at some intelligent opinion of their real merits.
Our Mail-Order Business.
We have the best equipment possible for the handling of Mail Orders. That is the larger part of our business. Our eniployes are experienced and are employed here the year around. Your orders are not handled by clerks employed only for the busy season. We send all plants and seeds prepaid except when otherwise stated. We fill all orders the first or second day by mail or express, except plants in freezing weather.
Our Two Retail ' Stores.
In Chicago and New York our retail stores are in the center of the trading districts. At either of these stores you can choose from 2,000 different kinds of seeds. We have clerks who are experienced. We have expert gardeners to advise you. Our knowledge of horticulture is at the service of our customers. Any inquiry that you wish to make will be answered by an expert.

Asparagus are hastened and the quality improved a hundred per cent. by the application of Nitrate of Soda, in addition to the Manure regularly used. This applies particularly to Asparagus, as it not only makes larger stalks and improves the quality but by the added vigor enables it to far better withstand the rust, in fact it usually overcomes this entirely.
The time to apply it with best results is as soon as the shoots first appear and again in ten days, first pulverizing the Nitrate of Soda then sowing it broad- cast over the entire bed. at the rate of one pound for three plants or 100 pounds per acre at each application.

For this purpose, and to have a fresh supply always on hand, we make five importations yearly. For care in making these bricks and thor- oughly running them with live Mycelium (threads) our makers are expert. We now supply annually Eastand West scores of wholesale Mushroom caves, sheds or greenhouses with their entire planting stocks of Spawn. Prices follow:

Farm Yard Manure.
Market gardeners are in the habit of using from 50 to 100 tons of stable manure every year, They will tell us that they might as well stop gar- dening as stop manuring, and they will continue to use year after year such enormous quantities of manure containing no ready formed nitric acid, which is the main source of nitrogenin plants. If they receivethe manure for nothing, the labor of hauling it, handling and distrbuting it costs more than the amount of nitric acid which it naturally yields by decomposition in the soil could be purchased forin the form of nitrate of soda, and in these market gardens the soil is so charged with carbonic acid that it ex- cludes the oxygen and decomposition proceeds very slowly, and to produce the necessary quantity of nitric acid more and more manure must be used. Try nitrateof soda. It acts like magic; it will pay ten times over,

Parsley will produce hundreds of bunches, a peck of Onion Sets will produce thousands of early ‘‘Green Onions” and a great many large ones, long before those raised from seed are ready. Anounce of Swiss Chard will yield Spinach greens all summer and fall and many a mess can be cut from it for home use and for sale to the neighbors or stores. Car- rots, Beets, Cucumbers, Parsnips and Horse Radish are all profitable, while in larger gar- dens, Peas, Beans and Corn as well as Mel- ons, Tomatoes, Squash and Pumpkin are easily turned into Moneymakers.

New Late White ‘‘NebrasKa.’”’
This new late potato has attracted a great dealof attention for a number of years in Eastern Nebraska. A yearago in a very wet season when other pota- toes in that locality rotted and failed this variety grew unharmed and bore a heavy crop. This year our crop in the Red River Valley in a dry season out-yielded Rural New Yorker and Carman No.3. In shape the potato is somewhat flatter than the Rural; same color, a little better flavor. Hasallthe good qualities of Rural besides being a better yielder and hardier. Mr. E. L. Coy, the well known producer of many varieties highly recommends this sort: F. A. Huebner another famous potato grower says ‘‘an extra good yielder and remarkable good quality.”
It should certainly be given a trial.

VAUGHAN’S SELECTED STOCK.
For outdoor sowing thisis the most important sort in the Chicago market, thousands of pounds being annually used. Our stock of this is the best.

The extra early forcing Radishes lately intro- duced are remarkable for the small size of their leaves; they develop their roots in so short a time that the latter are practically in advance of the leaves. This character is still more notice- able in this new variety. he seed leaves, which are large from the start, are the only green parts to be seen until the bulbs are almost large enough for pulling. Only at that time one or two short leaves are produced. ‘The roots are of the shape and color of our ‘‘Twenty-Day” Radish. ¥ lb,, 30c.; 0z., 10c.; pkt., Sc.

Sown early in the Spring, in rows 16 inches apart, and the seed- lings afterward thinned out to 6 inches in the rows, it makes rapid growth of leaves, and is fit for use for greens sooner than any other variety. For Summer use it is superior to Spinach, because it can be cut throughout the entire Summer and Fall, when no Spinachis to be had. It is of almost the same flavor and it is much easier to wash and prepare for the table.

poundsin weight. Our attention was called to this
kind a few years ago when visiting New Haven,

The Tomato for a Main Crop. Choicest seed. We call this the king of the Livingston kinds, which are the best types of large, smooth, solid “beefy’’ tomatoes. If asked to select one main crop, market sort, we advise this. Color fine scarlet, stem (calyx) set high, core small and shallow, so that but little is lost when it is taken ont of the fruit be- fore slicing. We want to make what we say of this kind definite, because there are very many good kinds, and along list is confusing. If in doubt, buy the New Stone for market, or home use for that matter.

New Double Hybrid Hollyhocks Ever Blooming

Like most things, however, they are not with- out alfault and that isthe fact that the plants must be at least one year old be- fore they produce flowers. That means delay and possiblyloss during the winter which is one reason why we do not see them oftener. ‘

The New Orchid-Flowering Sweet Pea
-1513.-The type and form of these is a complete departure from anything yet intro- duced. Both the.wings and standard are very large, and its graceful form, together with the immense size, makes it by far the most attractive variety in existence. There are five or six distinct shades contained in this mixture, but all are of the large flower- ingtype and of the same form. The different shades it contains are as follows: Deep pink, light pink, ovid shade, orange pink, white with light pink edging. We certainly think highly of the various shades which this mixture contains. Pkt., 15c., % oz., 30c.3 0z., 60c.3 2ozs. $1.00.

School Gardens
This movement has been most rapidin Europe, where are today more than 100,000 school gardens. In America, the school garden movement is gaining ground rap- idly. The child’s garden certainly brings his life more near to that of the country than any other form of study. A greataid to nature-study. Measuring and marking the gar den and planting the seed give the child practical mathematics. Even business can be taught where the products of the garden are sold. The systematic care of tools, the order in- doing things, the habits of close observation ac- quired by the child will be invalu- able to him.
Garden work has many advant- ages for both boys and girls. The life in open air and sunshine fur- thers their physical development.
We have furnished seeds to schools and for distribution among poor children. Weare well equip- ped to supply the needs both in vegetableand flower seeds and we will be glad to correspond with teachers or others who desire to purchase seeds for this purpose in quantities. We wz7/l make special low rates for this purpose,

Ageratum.
One of the best of Summer-flowering plants grown from seeds, The plants start readily, grow rapidly and soon come into bloom, and when they begin to bloom they flower uninterrupt- edly throughout the season. During the hot,dry summer months there are no brighter or more freely produced flowers. Set the dwarf sorts 10 inches apart, they soon make a low mass of charming blue or white, and are never disappointing.
56—Princess Pauline. A most distinct and novel variety of dwarf compact habit, rarely exceeding five inches in height, its peculiarity being that both colors, blue and white, are combined in the same flower; the body of the flower being white, the stamens are of a light sky-blue, giving the fowera pretty variegated appearance.

MARINETTE Co., Wis. I had the finest assortment of Asters of your seed, especially the branching varieties, that ever have been seen here, and can still at this time, cut thousands of blooms. GEO. VATTER.

EARLY
537 — Grace, daintiness and brilliancy are the characteristics of this pretty flower, with its yellow heart encircled with broad, deep-like petals, carried on long slender stems which rise from a cloud of feathery foliage. It is very pretty for vases and lasts often a week in the house when cut. A couple of years ago the Cosmos bloomed with the Chrysanthemum, and, being rather more tender, often diedan untimely death by frost just at its first blossoming, so that it was almost useless to plant it in Northern sections, but since this Early Flowering strain has been produced it may now be had in bloom from July to November.

Plant them in a shallow box or pan early in March or April, transplant them carefully as their growth demands, and keep the soil moderately moist. When all danger from frost is over plant them in the bed or border in the garden, and from then out they will prove no more trouble than if the tubers had been used instead of seed.

1033—Their varieties of color are infinite, running from snow-white through all possible shades of blue and of red from palest pink to darkest reds and purples. They are streaked, mottled, striped, marbled and bordered in wonderful fashion and sometimes show rare shadings of ash-gray, bronze, terra cotta, brown and slate-blue, colors rarely found in any other flowers. The leaves are also very handsome; some are ivy-like, others are heart shaped, some are rich green, while others are streaked and marbled with white and silvery gray or yellow, others with choicest flowers, have rich golden leaves. They grow like weeds any- where in the sun or shade, but the seeds germinate a little slower than those of the common Morning Glory, and it is well to soak them in water for twenty-four hours before sowing. This mixture contains a finer and larger collection of colors with larger flowers, more frilled than the ordinary mixture. Pkt., [0c.; %-0z., 20c.; 0z., 30c.; 14 Ib., $1.00; Ib., $3.00.

VAUGHAN’S PHLOX
The Phloxes are certainly amongst the showiest and most easily managed of all hardy annuals. They grow wellin almost any garden soil, and from June until October maintain an endless display of brilliant and varied colored flowers, A fine effect is obtained by plant- ing the beds with different colors so they harmonize. The plants will be more bushy and cover the bed better if pinched back while small. They are of easy culture, but do best in a rich soil, For early plants, seed should be sown in boxes in the house, or sown in the open ground as soonas the weather will permit. When two or three inches high they should be transplanted five or six inches apart, where they are to grow.

PRIMULA OBCONICA.
New Large Flowering Hybrids. An Ever- Blooming Primrose.
1376—This is one of the most useful flowering plants. If sown early in Spring the seedlings will commence to bloom in May or June and continue to flower throughout the whole year. The flowers are of a soft lilac, pink, rose, laven- der or crimson and very charming. It is one of the most useful Primulas for pot culture, and also succeeds well in the open border during the Summer months. The new large flowering Hybrids are an improvement on the old type in size of flowers, which are about double their size and are borne on stiffer stems well above the foliage, and they also show a marked im- provement incolors.

The flowers are very graceful not quite half an inch across and are of a most pleasing rose color with a yel- low eye. They are borne on erect stems 10 to 12 inches high in tiers, and remain fresh forovera week after being cut, new buds opening every day.

Sweet Peas
The plants should not be raised for two successive
seasons on the same ground.
Sweet peas should not be planted on the same ground
after culinary peas.
Excessive manuring with stable manure in the row immediately before sowing the seed is not desirable. Ground intended for sweet peas, if not left in good con- dition after taking the last crop, will be better for manuring the previous Fall rather than at the Spring
seeding.
The use of artificial fertilizers, bone meal, nitrate of soda, etc., can be made in the Spring at the time of
planting or soon after.

This showy flower has become very popular and deservedly so, as they are perhaps the handsomest of all Summer flowering tuberous rooted plants. To those of our customers who are tired of planting Geraniums every year we would recommend their trying a bed of Begonias as a substitute. They will succeed in any rich well drained soil, and prefer a position where they will be protected from the direct tays of the sun during the hottest part of the day. They also make fine pot plants for the conservatory or window garden. They may be had in both single and double sorts iu the following colors:

THE BEST AND
LARGEST GLADIOLUS dat IN EXISTENCE. 2#
HIS magnificent variety, grown and developed
by Dr. Van Fleet, of whom we purchased his
entire stock, and introduced by us in 1903, is the largest and most effective and graceful of all Gladioli. It grows from 3% to 4 feet high under ordinary gar- den conditions; its handsome foliage is a grand setting for the brilliant Amaryvllis-like blooms which open more widely than any other variety, a charac- teristic it receives from G. cruentus, the mother species. The color is rich crimson with intense shad- ings in the throat, and broad white blotches across the lower petals. The flowers range from 5 éo 6 inches in diameter, and can be grown to nearly 8 inches under stimulating culture. The petals are very wide and much rounded, forming an almost circular flower. From three to six of these immense and brilliant blooms are expanded at a time on each spike, which often produces 16 to 18 flowers during its development, Princeps is a most striking variety and the rate of increase is such that in time it can be produced in large quantities for bedding pur- poses as well as for cutting and exhibition. It endures the sun and wind well, and opens perfectly to the last bud in water. It blooms normally in August, but may be had late in October by delaying planting it. It forces splendidly.

Newport, R. I.— The New “Baby Rambler”’ Rose, Madame Norbert Levavasseur seems to me to be rightly named everblooming, as it has flowered continuously with me since the middle of June and at the present time is one mass of unexpanded buds on the last made growths, besides the large bunches of open blossoms on the previous growths. I think
it an Ideal Bedding Rose and no doubt in the future
‘wil! be largely used for that purpose. ARTHUR GRIFFIN, Head Gardener to Elbridge T. Gerry, Esq.
The New Rose—‘‘Baby Rambler.’’
Blooms all the time. The best red pot or bedding rose in the world. Same color as the climbing Crimson Rambler with clusters of from 20 to 40 open flowers at one time. It blooms every day from May until November, if planted out and in pots all the year round. It has created a wonderful sensation. Is perfectly hardy.

It is especially adapted to open lawns or house fronts in the city or country. Perfectly hardy; blooms the entire season, bearing beautiful and lasting flowers. The varieties we offer here are those best adapted to our climate.
Plant in a sunny spot in good garden soil, dug very deep, placing the crown of the roots % inches below the surface of the soil. We recommend the application of well-rotted manure in holes a few inches away from the plant in opposite directions. The feeding roots reach out to these holes, which may be watered freely, with better success than when the manure is applied directly to the base of the plant.
SPECIAL NOTICE } On account of the brittleness of the bark on Clematis, VFEUIAL NULIVES jt cracks very easily, and many people believe the plant to be permanently injured when such is not thecase. We issue this notice on account of the numerous letters we get on the subject. We wish to say also that we examine all plants carefully before shipping, to see that they are in good condition, and if they die after being received in good order we do not agree to replace them. =

COW PEAS. Soil Improver.
Z MAKE POOR LAND RICH, MAKE GOOD LAND MORE PRODUCTIVE, ENRICHING THE SOIL EVEN AFTER CROP IS CUT.
Green crops plowed under are one of the best and cheapest way of improving the soil. For this purpose the Cow Pea is \if excellent, especially for medium or light soil. They should be
Y sown in May or June, at the rate of 14% bushels to the acre. and plowed under as soon as they have attained their full growth. While this cropis very largely grown wherever known, with the results obtained fromit, the wonder is that it is not grown ten times as much as at present. There is no surer or cheaper means of improving poor soil than by sowing Cow Peas. In its capacity asa nitrogen gatherer its growth largely enables the farmer to dispense with the use of nitrogen or ammoniated fertilizers. Nitrogen or ammonia in commercial fertilizers is valued at15 cents per pound. The Cow Pea, toa greater extent than any other leguminous crop, with possibly the exception of the New Velvet Bean, described alongside, has the power to extract this costly nitrogen or ammonia from the atmosphere.
Cow Peas for Hay. If planted early, say the middle of May, in the central corn belt section, a crop can be cut and cured for hay the same asclover, then the stubble in a short time will put out a new growth to be turned under in the fall asa fertilizer.
The best varieties for all purposes are the following.

EGYPTIAN CLOVER—BERSEEM. This is an Annual Clover, | and also a Winter Clover for warm countries where irrigation is 2 practiced. Under such conditions it grows with remarkable tapidity, outgrowing most weeds, and yielding one of the most . nutritious and palatable fodders known. It resembles Alfalfa. The flower heads are white, but in form like Red Clover. The stalks are very succulent and the whole plant more delicate than either Clover or Alfalfa, and is eaten by domestic animals with great relish. The root system.of Berseem is remarkable for its abundant nodules or knots, fullofnitrogen. Itis not suited to cultivation on dry soils. The special value of this 4 crop is its use as a green fodder, having the most marvelous fat- tening and conditioning properties. Its ability to run out weeds is greatly in its favor. It is wonderful as a food for milch cows. Itis alsovaluable asahaycrop. For spring for- age in the northwest, planted after the frosts are over, in the moist climates of Washington and Oregon, it should rotate with = wheat.

Introduced a few years since from Minnesota, it has proven of excellent value and made a place foritselfas astandard kind of real merit. The following are a few points of its excellence: It is very productive, having im all instances yielded more to the acre than any other sort grown in the same locality; in one case it yielded 174 bushels from a single bushel of seed. It is very early, and has thus far proved itself rustproof. It stands up better than any other sort; it is best for seeding on account of its thin hull, heavy meat and soft nib. It is the best for oat- meal and grinding for the same reason. Price: Lb.. (5c.; 3 Ibs., 40c., postpaid.

Every dairyman and stock-breeder in the United States should have a field of it, and if you try it once you will never be a season without it. :
It will also prove valuable for a hay crop in the South and dry Western regions, as it may be sown in the Fall and will make a luxuriant growth duting the Fall and Spring months, and will yield a heavy crop, which may be cut and stored before the droughts set in. It is perfectly hardy throughout the United States, re- maining green all Winter, and should be sown during August and September mixed with rye, which serves as a support for the plants, or in Spring with oats or barley.

DWARF ESSEX RAPE.
Our own importation. Think of it—costs only 38c. to seed an acres
Dwarf Essex Rape is easily grown and perfectly hardy, and pos- sesses remarkable fattening proper. ties. One acre will pasture 36 head two months, and lambs will make a gain of 8 to 12 pounds a month. Pigs and cattle are also very fond of it. The plant is a rank grower and should have heavy manuring as well as high cultivation. Any corn soil will grow Rape. Sow the seed by the end of June; and the crop can be teady to feed at a season when it is most needed. It does well sown with oats. Afteroats are cut the Rape grows rapidly. From 14 acre there were cut 9% tons of green Rape, or it yielded at the rate of 19 tons per acre. If the soil is richandclean, sow broadcast; if not so clean, sow in drills and cultivate as for corn.

Root Crops for Stock |
Roeets have an average stock-feeding value by weight compared with hay of one ~
to three, 300 lbs. of roots equalling 100 lbs. of hay. Think of it, 15 to 35 tons of roots can be grown per acre, and this means a feeding value equal to 5 to 10 tons of hay. They have more than the feeding value, they are a fresh and very healthy food like grass. Read what we say of each kind, compiled from best scientific authority. The feeding of these crops on the farm means a great increase in the manure pile and so a great increase of crops. Root culture means good farming.
Professor Johnson ranks Carrots as high as Cabbage when fed to cattle. Chem- Garrots ists rank es lbs. of Carrots equal to one bushel of oats. This would mean an acre of good Carrots equal to 300 bushel of oats, counting less than 22 tons per acre, while 40 tons have been raised. The stables of the largest and best teams in Chicago feed Carrots once a day all winter and spring. _ High authority says Carrots fed to horses give their coats a gloss and aid them in digesting grain, as can be seenin the dung of those fed on oats with Carrots and those fed on oats alone. Prepare fine mellow ground with well rotted manure and use }-lb. of seed per acre. See Vaughan’s Vegetable Garden.

Bermuda Grass (Cynodon Dactylon). In the southern states and in the warmer regions of the southwest and on the Pacific slope, this is cultivated extensively, and is most highly prized chiefly for grazing, all kinds of stock being extremely fond of it. It grows freely. on sandy soils where other grasses will not thrive, and resists extreme droughts and high tem peratures. It is particularly asun-loving grass and will not thrive in the shade. It is useful for bind= ing sand and the loose soil of embankments, or those sub- ject to wash. It makes fine lawns and is extensively used for that purpose in the hotter portions of the United States, for it will thrive where the grasses ordinarily eme ployed for that purpose could not survive. Bermuda Grass should be sown in the Spring. It does not succeed further north than Virginia. Sow8 pounds per acre. Per Ib., 75c.; 10 Ibs., $6.00; 100 lbs., $50.00.
Johnson Grass (Andropogon Halepensis). In the warmer parts of the southern states it makes rapid growth, is but little affected by drought, and the hay, if cut just as the grass is coming into bloom, is much liked by all kinds of stock. Two or three cuttings may be made during the season. The extensively creeping root stocks are fleshy and tender, arid hogs are very fond of them. This grass is very hard to eradicate, and if it is not wanted to spread, the grass must be cut before the seed is ripe. Johnson Grass should only be sown where it is desired as a perma- nent pasture. Sow in Spring, or in August to October, at the rate of 25 pounds per acre. Per lb., 20c.3 10 lbs., $1.25; 100 lb., $10.00.

Ou customers have been quick to appre- : ciate the value of these special mixtures in producing a heavier, thicker and long con- tinued growth. The use of such mixtures is sure to become universal.
THE AMOUNT OF SEED
necessary to sow an acre largely de- pends on the qual- ity of the land; the poorer the soil the larger the quantity
required. A fair average is from 35 to 40 pounds to
the acre. The thicker seeds are sown, the sooner will a fine close turf be obtained.

Lawn grass isa voracious feeder and will not thrive { and hold its beautiful dark green color and velvety ap- ‘\\ pearance unless it receives a sufficient supply of suit- \ able food. Because so few appreciate this fact is the reason there are so many poor, rusty-looking lawns. \\) Stable manure is unpleasant to handle, ill-looking and decidedly odorous, and is also full of waste material. It contains weed seeds which are obnoxious, and it often takes yeurs to eradicate the weeds, causing an unnecessary amount of labor. All these objections are obviated by the use of our Lawn Fertilizer, and if Vaughan’s Lawn Seed is used there is no excuse for a bad lawn. Ifthe lawn is in fair condition it is only ghee TISCeSSATY, to gake off the dead leaves and grass an the SS S SN €arly spring and scatter broadcast over its surface —— some of ourLawn Fertilizer with a little of our Chi- cago Park Lawn Seed over the thin spots, and the work is done. DIRECTIONS FOR USE.—The first application should be made early in the Spring, as soon as the frost is out of the ground, at the rate of 25 pounds of fertilizer to every 1,000 square feet of lawn, evenly distributed, For seeding down a new lawn scatter double the amount.

Concentrated Manures or Fertilizers.
MARKET GARDENING.
The value of Commercial 'Animal Fertilizers to the market gardener cannot be overestimated. Compared with the results secured by the use of Fertilizers, their cost is insignificant. They greatly increase not only the yield, but also its quality, and, what is of immense importance, they push the crops rapidly forward to maturity, getting them into market early, and thus insuring a better price.
VAUGHAN’S HIGH-GRADE TRUCK AND FARM MANURE. Se SSC DE
This is our best brand of concentrated Manure,
SS suitable for lawns and flowers as well as the vege-
vi S\ tables mentioned below. It is of exceptional value \\
The Yield and Quality of Vegetables Depend Upon Continuous and Rapid Growth.
_It has been demonstrated that market-garden crops of the best-quality are those which are grown under conditions which permit of a continuous and rapid develop- ment. Any delay in the growth of a lettuce or radish causes that sharp and pungent flavor of the former and the bitterness and toughened fibre of the latter, beets become stringy, etc. Plant food of the right amount and kind controls the yield and quality of market-garden products more than any other condition, and it is neither wise nor economical to depend on the natural condition of the soil or tha application of stable manure only for profitable crops.

This is a special brand we have put up for our trade. It isground fine, hence acts quickly. Free from acid and asuperbarticle, It is made from bone accumulated in

Nitrate of Soda is not a substitute for other manures, but we recommend it as the cheapest and best form in which to apply Nitrogen to plants. Gardeners who are using farm manure should continue to use It, but use Nitrate of Soda in addition to other fertilizers. If your object is to grow maximum crops you must in some way furnish the plants with nitrate. No matter what manure or fertilizer is used the Nitrogen must be converted into Nitrate before the plants can use it.
- HOW TO USE NITRATE OF SODA.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITH VAUGHAN’S SEEDS
——_--- .
HOUSANDS of doilars have been spent on Ginseng, because some visionary person has figured out how much money could be made from half an acre or other small area, but he has not said that it will require six years to get any returns. Furthermore, they now say the cultivated Ginseng is not what the Chinese want, lacking certain medicinal properties of the. wild. We suggest the following as more certain money makers:
ASTERS The attractive and best selling colors are white, WUWGante. Pink land! lavender. These are always in good
Branching demand. Florists, druggists and other merchants will buy and use them for their counter displays. SWEET PEAS
Lady Grisel Hamilton Blanche Ferry
Prima Donna Dorothy Eckford King Edward VII
VEGETABLE ante is always a great demand for Cabbage, PLANTS... Cauliflower, Pepper, Egg Plant and Celery Plants. ELANTS-2e. An ounce of each of these, which can be pur- chased at a cost of approximately $1.00, will easily yield from $30.00 to $50.00 if properly cared for.
PARSLEY A quarter of a pound of Parsley of our Champion ~~ Moss Curled, will, if bunched and sold in the markets, produce $50.00 or more.
PEAS, BEANS and fue always in demand if well grown and SWEET CORN ffesh; one or two quarts of each, which SWEET CORN... will not cost more than $1.00, can easily be
made to return from $25.00 to $40.00. Cucumbers, Beets and Squash can be made to pay equally well.
MUSHROOM If you have right conditions to grow Mushrooms
(cellars and sheds are best), you can earn a great SPAWN... deal of money from small capital and labor.
RHUBARB This is another money-maker. One dozen to 25 clumps will yield an abundant supply of Rhubarb, particularly if the plants are well cultivated and matured.
ASPARAGUS There is perhaps nothing ‘that will yield as
Ul aaaonEamuchisasethis vegetable. $500.00 an acre after the plants are well started, that is two or three years after planting, is but a moderate estimate of the returns.
ONION There are perhaps 9,000 Sets in a bushel and every=
SETS body knows what a bunch of green Onions costs im
—— the market early in the Spring. If there isa good
demand for green Onions, they can be sold in that way. If
there is not sufficient demand, the Onions can be allowed to
remain to grow large Onions, which can be kept from Sep- tember to May, and best market prices secured.

KING HUMBERT | he New Giant Flowered Ganna.
One of the Gold Medal varieties at the World’s Fair at St. Louis, and
central figure in our ‘‘Grazd Prize’’ bedding display. See page 1.
The Grandest type of Canna flower and plant yet produced.
3 Of the scores of varieties of these noble flowering and foliage plants put on the \ market of late years, this one undoubtedly takes the lead not only for size and color of flowers but also for its noble habit, massive and handsome bronze foliage, and above all its unusual free flowering character and substance of individual flowers. It takes a good Canna nowadays to make asensation for there are many good ones, but King Humbert, of all the varieties shown at the World's Fair, is the one which was most prominent and which expert plant jurors pronounced of Gold [Medal Merit.
This isa cross between the large or Orchid-flowering varieties and those raised by M. Crozy, of Lyons, France, and combining the best qualities of both sections. It is very free flowering, throwing up freely strong spikes with enormous heads of the largest flowers yet grown, of great substance and resisting much more the wind and rain than other kinds.
The coloris of a brilliant rich orange scarlet and crimson striped. The foliage is of a rich bronzy color, very large and ornamental and of a leathery feature and stout. The piant isa robust grower, averaging about 4% feet. When seen growing in our Canna fields this summer or as shown at the World’s Fair it was truly a king of Cannas.
