To Our Friends and Patrons. 


We take pleasure in handing you herewith our ‘* Annual 
Catalogue.” 
oD 


We offer our seeds with the full assurance that they are true 
and reliable, quality being always our first consideration, but at 
the same time we wish it particularly understood that we do not 
warrant them, for the ultimate success of a crop is dependent 
on so niany contingencies, that we cannot hold ourselves lable 
or responsible for failures. If the purchaser does not accept 
the seeds on these conditions, they must be returned at once. 

In ordering goods please give your Name, Post Office and 
State in full, being particular to write your name very distinctly. 


Remittances can be made by Post Office, Money Orders, 
Bank Drafts, Express Orders, or cash sent in registered letter. 


Orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied 
by a remittance or a satisfactory reference. 


When ordering seeds by mail, postage must always be added 
at the rate of eght cents per pound, in quantities of one-fourth 
pound and upwards. Seeds by packet, and ounce, will be 
mailed without extra charge. 

In shipping we make no charge for delivery to railroads or 
express companies. 

We are thankful for the generous patronage heretofore given, 
and intend to continue to merit the same by exercising the 
utmost care and fidelity in promoting the interests of our 
customers.

SELECTED NORTHERN GROWN, VEGETABLE SEEDS. 


BEANS—Dwarf or Bush. 


One quart is sufficient for one hundred feet of drill; two bushels for 
one acre in drills. 

A succession of sowings can be made from the first week in May 
until July. Plant in drills about two inches deep, and from eighteen 
inches to two feet apart, according to the richness of the soil; the 
poorer the soil, the closer they can be planted; tbe plants should be

BEANS—Pole or Running. 


One quart will plant one hundred hills; ten to twelve quarts to the 
acre. 

These are more tender, and require rather more care in culture than 
the bush beans; they succeed best in sandy loam, which should be lib- 
erally enriched with short manure in the hills, which are formed accord- 
ing to the variety, from three to four feet apart; from five to six seeds 
are planted in each hill, about two inches deep.

CARROTS. 


One ounce to one hundred feet of drill, three to four pounds to the

Carrots require a very finely pulverized soil, to grow them to perfec- 
tion. A good, light and well enriched sandy loam is the best for this 
crop. For field culture, sow in drills, three to three and one-half feet 
apart, so as to cultivate by horse. Market-gardeners sow in drills 
about eighteen inches apart, and cultivate by hand. For early crops,

One ounce of seed produces about four thousand plants. 

To have celery early, it should be sown in a hot-bed, quite early in 
the spring, and when three inches high, plant out in a well-prepared 
bed, which must be covered in frosty weather. For the principal crop, 


R. B. DUNNING & CO.’S CATALOGUE. | 9 


sow early in spring, very shallow in the seed-bed, and when the plants 
are about six inches high, transplant them six inches apart into trenches 
for blanching. Dig the trenches four feet apart, a foot wide and 
ten inches deep. Fill in five or six inches of well rotted manure, and 
mix thoroughly, half a spade deep, with the earth at the bottom. The 
tops of the plants should be shortened before they are set. Earth up 
to blanch, three or four times during their growth, taking care that no 
earth falls in the center of the plants.

ONION. 


One ounce to one hundred feet of drill; five pounds to the acre. 

No vegetable is more extensively known and cultivated than the 
Onion. A good crop is impossible unless the soil is very rich and kept 
clean. Use well-rotted manure freely, and get the crop in as soon as 
possible in spring, no matter if the weather is cold and unpleasant. 
Sow in drills one foot apart, and cover about one-third of an inch, 
treading or rolling after sowing, so that the hot, dry atmosphere may 


not dry up and destroy the sprouting seed.

Parsley requires rich, mellow soil; sow thickly in drills, one foot

use, protect'it in a glass frame or light cellar.

PEAS. 


One quart to seventy-five feet of drill; two to three bushels to the 
acre. 

Peas for an early crop should be sown as soon as the ground is in 
working condition. The soil for their reception should be light, dry 
and well sheltered. Mild manure, such as leaf mould, has a beneficial 
effect; but for many of the varieties, the soil cannot be too rich. For 
general crops the ground should be well manured the previous year 
which causes them to yield more abundantly. When grown asa market 


R. B. DUNNING & CO.’S CATALOGUE. 15 


crop, peas are never staked, and are sown in single rows, two or three 
inches deep, and from two to three feet apart according to the variety 
or strength of the soil. When grown in small quantities for private 
use, they are generally sown in double rows. six or eight inches apart, 
and the tall varieties staked up by brush. 

Peas ordered by mail are subject to an extra charge of fifteen cents

The wonderful productiveness and ease with which the im-

who cultivate them for the first time. 


THEY ARE AN EXCELLENT FOOD 


.- For Cattle, Sheep, 
Hogs and Horses. 


They are the best hog food known, and are attracting much 
attention on account of their great fattening properties, and 
for milch cows they excel any root grown, for increasing the 
flow of milk and makes it much richer. 

An acre will keep from 20 to 30 hogs during the fall and 
winter months. 

They are well adapted to any soil where corn or potatoes 
can be grown. 

From four to five bushels will seed an acre; they should be 
cut the same as potatoes, one eye on a piece being sufficient, 
planted in May, in rows three feet apart and about eighteen 


inches in the rows, and covered about two inches deep. 


They are not injured by freezing while in the ground.

POTATOES. 


Harmony Beauty. This Potato originated from the seed of a 
Potato ball in Somerset county, Maine. 

It is the favorite Market Potato of Bangor, having the preference 
over all other varieties wherever once used, and conceded by growers 
and consumers to be the best potato grown. It always brings a better 
price than any other in our market. 

It is a prolific cropper and remarkably free from rot, and about two 
weeks earlier than the Early Rose. Planted side by side with the New 
Queen last season we found it excelled that favorite Potato in every 
way. 
In appearance it hasa russet pinkish skin a little lighter in color than 
the Early Rose and is of more oval shape. Flesh white and mealey.

BRADLEY’S SUPERPHOSPHATE 


Bradley’s Superphosphate, the pioneer of the fertilizer industry in the United States, 
has been more extensively used than any other brand of fertilizer in the world. 

From its unvarying quality and uniform condition it has gained the name that more 
plainly bespeaks the estimate in which it is held among the farmers than volumes of 
praise —‘‘ the Old Reliable.” 

As itis a complete fertilizer, rich in available phosphoric acid, ammonia, and potash, 
it can be used either with or without barnyard manure. 


BRADLEY’S POTATO MANURE 


For Growing Smooth, Sound Potatoes of the Best Quality Without Barnyard Manure. 


Bradley’s Potato Manure is in no sense a theoretical or experimental mixture, but is 
prepared from formulas which repeated jield tests have proven will produce the largest 
crops of smooth, sound potatoes. 

The universal testimony of leading farmers is convincing that it gives the best of 
satisfaction, and at a considerable saving in cost over many of the high-priced “special 
potato manures” whose alleged scientific combination is their principal claim to the 
farmer’s patronage. 


BRADLEY’S COMPLETE MANURE 


For Potatoes and Vegetables, Corn and Grain, Top Dressing Grass and Grain. 

These manures are the richest and most concentrated fertilizers sold, as has been 
abundantly proven by actual results in the field. They are manufactured from the very 
best plant-food materials obtainable, combined in such form and proportions as long 
practical experience has proven will yield the largest crops of the best quality. 

Bradley’s Complete Manures are in the fullest sense ** complete’’ fertilizers, and the 
three grades furnish complete plant food in the best forms for all crops grown.

principles on which its general designs rests, were proved correct and desirable

tion, are a sufficient demonstration of its superior merit. 

The Buckeye will meet the most exacting demands in every variety of grass- 
cutting.

The NEW YORK sHAmPION BAKE Has ‘any Imitators, “But ‘to Equals. 
WHY IT TAKES THE LEAD! 


It has our patent tooth to prevent scratching. 

It has no springs to get out of order. 

It produces no jar on the thills when dumping. 

Its thills work as freely as those on a carriage. 

It will not scratch up fine seeding. 

It will run over trash lying on the ground and leave it there. 

It is so easily managed that a boy who can drive a horse, can use it as well as 
a strong man. 

It can be held down to make very large windrows, or bunch them up. 

It is very easy to keep the teeth up after going over a windrow. 

It dumps damp part of windrow on top, and saves use of hay tedder. 

Our patent oscillating cleaner hasasgur pointing downward on each end pin, 
and is the only device that fully prevents the hay from rolling and working into 
the wheels. The cleaner raises gradually as the teeth fill, and by its weight 
gives a compact windrow, slid—not rolled together. which is left thoroughly 
bottom side up, damp part on top and exposed to sun and wind.

gears, chains or other complicated parts to break or wear out. Anyone can at 
once understand and manage it. An important feature in this planter is that

NATIONAL REVERSIBLE SULKY PLOW. 


{ 


This plow is not an experiment, having been placed upon the market several 
years since, in which time there have been several thousand sold. Unlike all 
other makes of Riding Plows, the National has been especially designed to meet 
the wants of Eastern farmers, and succeeds not only upon level farms, leaving 
them without tracks or dead furrows, but is equally adapted to stony, rough 
side hill farms, turning the land with the slope, and not up the hill as is the case 
with all one-way Sulky Plows. 

We believe the National to be the only Sulky Plow in the world that can justly 
lay claim to being a success for all kinds of works and in all varieties of soil. 

- «! PRICES £55.00, \- >= 

Including Neck Yoke, Evener and Whiffletrees. Also extra Plow and Jointer

The Yankee Swivel Plow. 


The Patented Adjustable Clevis with Steel Lever, holding the same firmly in 
position by iron notches between the handles, as shown in ¢ut, enables the plow- 
man at all times to cut a uniform width of furrow without stopping his team. 
The excellence of such an arrangement will be apparent to all, especially in: 
view of the fact that heretofore reversible plows, as usually made, have no 
means of adjustment of any kind, and have frequently been condemned in con- 
sequence. Not only is this attachment so easy of operation that a child can 
manage it, but being of extremely.simple construction it will never get out of

merits of the BLANCHARD CHURN: 


Perfect quality of all materials 
used. Excellence of manufacture. 
Simplicity of construction, having 
no cog wheels or gearing. Durabil- 
ity. Easeofoperation. Theaction 
of the dasher is such as to cause agi- 
tation of the cream by creating cur- 
rents, and not by beating or by fric- 
tion of the cream which may injure 
the grain of the butter. Facility in 
removing the dasher and getting at 
the butter. Ease of cleaning, the 
form of construction making the in- 
side without any inaccessible or 
invisible angles or corners.

cannot possibly come in contact with the butter. The wood from which it is 
made is thoroughly steamed before w orking, which makes it as nearly odorless

THE NEW DR. BAILEY CUTTERS, 


FOR ENSILAGE AND DRY FORAGE. 


I —lrhhK“ 


Greatest Capacity, Strongest, Requires least Power. Superior to any Cutterin the 
market, not only for cutting Ensilage Crops, but also for Hay, Corn Stalks and other 
Dry Forage. Only Machines made witha Drawing and Shearing Cut. Great saving 
of Power and Increase of Capacity. Six Sizes, for Hand and Power. 


These machines have been greatly improved, our present line of six sizes all being 
made after the latest and most approved designs, and under best methods. 

Many advantages possesseG by the Dr. Bailey Cutters cannot be claimed by any 
other cutter made. Greater capacity than any other using the same power. Strength, 
simplicity, durability, and rapidity are among their qualifications. 

The peculiar and advantageous arrangements of the cutting apparatus is fully illus- 
trated above. The capacity of our cutters is not limited or governed by the length of 
knives, as it will be readily seen that all fodder once under the Knives on the powertul 
main wheel must be cut. This feature is peculiar to this machine, for on all cylinder 
machines and machines with covex radiating knives, the greatest space between knite 
and cutting-bed is necessarily very much contracted. 

These machines are giving entire satisfaction, and the ever-increasing demand shows 
their great popularity.

THE THOMAS PUMPS. 


The ‘*‘Thomas”’ Line of Pumps Comprises 
Three Distinct Kinds. 


er 

Ist.—‘“Thomas”’ Lift Pumps.— 
Made in four sizes—2 1-2, 3, 3 1-2 
and 4 inch Brass Cylinders; 5 1-2 
feet set length, unless otherwise 
ordered. These Pumps simply ]ift 
the water up out of the well, and 
let it run out of the spout, but will 
not force the water anywhere. 


ad.—“‘Thomas”’  Double-Acting 
Force and Liff PUMPS. — These 


Pumps are made with two brass 
cylinders, and they not only lift 
the water up to the spout, but they 
will also force it in any direction 
you want it to go, and they will 
lift and force the water on both 
the up and down strokes of the 
handle—and this is why it is called 
a Double-Acting Pump—sgiving

POTATO BUG EXTERMINATOR 


FoR APPLYING PARIS GREEN, SLUG SHOT AND 
OTHER INSECTICIDES IN THE DRy STATE. 


The cut shows the manner of using (the strap to 
go over the shoulder we do not furnish.) The long 
handle is not to be shaken, the hand upon the same 
acts merely as a balance, and to thrust the ‘‘duster” 
out over the plant or row. The hand upon the can 
is used to turn the same, and as a wheel is fastened 
to the long handle, a shower of dust is forced 
through, light or heavy, according to the length of 
the turn given, from eight to twenty-four inches 
may be covered as desired. 

The best machine in the market for applying

Whitman's New Adjustable Lever Weeder. 


— 


The above cut represents the latest adjustable lever Weeder. This Weeder 
differs materially from all others, it having a Lever Adjustment that by simply 
turning a handle nut the teeth can be instantly adjusted from a vertical position 
to any inclination desired without stopping the horse, if necessary. This fea- 
ture will be appreciated by those using other makes of weeders. 

By using this Weeder in fields, corn, beans, potatoes, in fact any kind of 
vegetables can be kept clean of weeds without the labor and expense of the hoe 
and without damage to the plants. One trial will convince any farmer that he 
cannot afford to be without this implement.
