Lima Beans should not be planted before the ground has become
warm in spring. Strong poles ought to be set in the ground from
four to six feet apart and the ground drawn around them before the
seed is planted. It is always best to plant afer ajain and with the
eye f the bean down. The other varieties can be planted flat. and
not more than three to four feet apart, and hilled after they are up.
Do not cover the seed more than two inches; one inch is enough for
the Southern Prolific and Creaseback.

RELIABLE CABBAGE SEED.

CABBAGE THIS is one of the most important of all the garden
crops and one which always receives our most cri'ical
attention, Upon the quality of the seed planted; the source from which
obtained; its adaptability to our Southern sections, largely depends the
succees of the crop. The reputation we have made for selfing the very best
and highest grade seeds,comes from the fact that we always offer oniy such
seeds as are raised for us by one of the.best Cabbage growers in the United
States,and such as we confidently believe can be depended on to produce
large; solid heads of the very best quality. Those who have becyme our
patrons for Cabbage Seeds, order from us year after year. :

CULTURE.—The soil should be deep, rich and
heavily manured. For main crop, sow thinly in
beds from February to Novemter. August is a
good month to sow for a winter crop. Keep the
plants well watered. In transplanting, set the
plants in the ground up tothe first leat, no mat-
ter how long stems may be. Set in rows two feet
apart and eighteen inches in row. Constant culti-
vation of the growing crop is essential to success.
One ounce of seed will produce about 8.000 plants.
Six ounces will make enough plants for an acre.

When ordering kindly send us the names of

LETTUCE If you are prepared with hot-beds,
Lettuce may be grown any time or
month in the year by selecting forcing varieties that
will form heads under glass. It may be grown out
doors in the South from easly spring until irost. The
best way to grow Lettuce is to sow seed ina bed of rich
earth, and when plants grow off. transplant in rows
two feet apart and about six inches in drill.and eul-
tivate like Cabbage. Theroil should be rich, and its
growth pushed, in order to produce crisp, tender
heads. If Lettuce is grown in above manner you will
not fail to produce heads, It should not be sown on
a bed thickly. and allowed to remain and grow up
spindling and become tough; go to seed early and die
out entirely. One ounce will produce 2000 plants.

ne Hew Velvet Bean—Vlor Forage. Our attention was called
to this Bean by # Florica patron. From our own experiments with
it. we were well pleased and think, as a forage crop. it will be of
value, A Florda Station Report, says of it, they having planted a
quarter of an acre on very poor soil: ‘Lhe soil was prepared as for
corn. Planted in rows three feet apart, one foot in row. No special
cultivation was given. Lt proved to be a rampant grower; ground
covered with close mass of vegetation, vines began to bloom in Au-
gust. producing long clusters of large, purple flowers, these were
followed by plump pods of rich dark green, covered with a close
down like velvet. Before frost a square rod of vines and pods gave
ninety-three pounds green forage or 16.680 pounds to theacre. It would
have dried two to three tens to the acre. All stock readily ate the
green forage, including the pods with the beans. Vines grow ten to
twenty feet in length. Should be fed in conjunetion with some
Artichokes. coarse fodder, such_as corn fodder, as the plané is especially rich in

brought to the highest possible degree cf production.
Mr. Truitt’s widely-spread letters and circulars have
made his cotton well knewn. He claims
his cotton is the most prolific in the world. Mr. Truitt

by Mr. J.F. Jones, of Troup County, Ga., and the

us to list it. We have our seeds direct from Mr. Jones,
that our patrons might depend on getting the pure

selection I have improved and developed this cotton,
the original seed of which was obtained by me in 1878
from Algiers, It is of portly growth, limby and
prolific. Stalk and limbs near bi l/s; fruiting every-
where, bolis cluster among and even to tips of last
foliage. Forty bolls will make a pound sed cotton,
1280 pounds a 500-pound bile.’’ This is the original
Jones Cotton. the term ‘“*Re improved” was used by

GRASSES AND CLOVERS. i!)

GRASSES ano CLOVERS.

Ww cannot too strongly urge our friends the desirability of adding grasses and Clovers to their farms.
Our‘conviction is that more and bett r grasses can be grown here in the South than elsewhere, and
that crops for Hay and pasturage will pay more bountifully than any other crops that can be planted.

SMALL LOTS OF GRASS SEEDS --We have given price in small quantities that those wishing to make
trial can order and have seeds sent them by mail. For peck and bushel prices write to us.

Giant Beggar Weed...As being the best for-
age pliant for chin, sandy sands and pine barrens,
Beggar Wed grows in popularity each year. It.
greatly enriches the the land. The Florida Com-
missioner of Agriculture says: ‘‘Beggar Weed has
been to Florida what elover has been to Tennessee
and Kentucky, but superior to it in that it will
thrive on poorer land.” Senator Pasco, of Florida,
says: “It has enriched their lands, and furnished
at the same time the best forage known in the
South for all sorts of stock.” Its growth is dense,
two to four feet high, sometimes seven feet; the
forage crop abundant. Sow atany time after frosts
are over, until middle of June, in drills three feet
apart, three to four pounds per acre, or broadcast
ten to twelve pounds per acre. Cover one to two
inches. When two feet high may be cut for hay
or green feed, and will produce successive crops,
branching largely from the roots. May be pastured
freely in the late summ randfall Weighs sixty
pounds to the bushel. Pound, 35 cents. If by mail,
pound 45 cents. nostpaid, Write for quantity price.

Lucerne, or Alfalfa—This is one of the most valuable Clovers we have; does not bear much pastur-
age; wives four or five successive cuttings, beginning early, of valuable hay during the summer. It is best
suited to rich sandy lands. Its roots penetrate to great depth, hence no drouth hurts it. It does well
sown broadcast or in drills; take care of it the first summer,after that, with moderate good treatment, it
will take care of itself. When once set it will last a lifetime. Cut it as often as you find it grown; do not
let it stand to bloom. We cannot recommend this Grass too highly to any one who will give it a placeon
rich lands weil prepared. Weighs sixty pounds to bushel. Sow in fall or spring, ten to fifteen pounds per
acre.in drills.and twenty pounds broadcast, February bas proved a very successful season for us here.
