We take pleasure in presenting to our patrons and friends our catalogue
for 1902.
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

these conditions, they must be returned at once.

particular to wrete your name very distinctly.

eight cents per pound, in quantities of one-fourth podund 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.

Dirigo Extra
Farly Beet.
The earliest variety in cultivation.
Unequalled in quality.
It originated with a leading market gar? ©
dener, and was brought to perfection after
years of careful cultivation. Itisarich blood-—
red beet of fine grain and flavor, is earlier
than either the Egy ptian or Eclipse, of smooth —
and rapid grow th: top and tap roots being
very small. Market gardeners shouid not
fail to give the Dirigo a trial.

The only Extra Early, Round Flat-
headed Cabbage in the World.
Coming in with the Wakefield,
and yielding one-third more than
any other Extra Early.
This variety is of the Early Summer Type, but about one-fifth smaller, and uy
has only four to five outside leaves, and these so small that it may be planted -
twenty-one inches apart, 14,500 to the acre. 4
Remembering that this is the first early flat variety, the shape thas f is SO pop-_
ular on all markets, and that it is ready fully a week earlier than any sort like
it, its value can be readily appreciated. The stem is short, making almost the
whole plant edible. It is finely bred, the veining of, the leaves being ee
ularly fine. There is no cabbage we know of having a more solid head ;
has also the peculiarity of heading firmly at an early stage in its growth, so
tained its mature size. Its shape and lar ge yield per acre make it particularly
valuable for market gardeners, and its ood quality will render it the pit
early cabbage for private gardens.

NEW SENSATION LETTUCE.
This remarkable variety has rapidly grown in popularity until it has become
the leader among gardeners. No other lettuce thrives so well when grown at
any season of the year, withstanding the hottest weather in a remarkable
}degree. It is a beautiful light yellowish-green color, leaves much blistered on
the surface, and has the peculiarity of forming a solid head, even before half
grown. Its uniform handsome and even growth is unequalled, and it is one of
the easiest to prow. rei, 1oc)s dz:,°25¢23 1-4 Ib., 70¢.

This is a new, very Large, extra Early variety of Wrinkled Pea. ]
The most desirable sort for the Hemate and market garden, large podded and ©
of splendid quality. 1
The vines grow about three feet high and are vigorous and hardy. The ©
immense pods are as large as those of the Telephone, uniformly well shaped |
and handsome, and more attractive than those of other extra early varieties. fi
They ripen slowly and continue fit for use much longer than most varieties,

New Early Tomato “Freedom.”
The plant is medium in size, present- 6
ing no peculiarities of foliage or habit.
The fruit is borne mainly in clustors,
perfectly round, having no sign of con-
cave at the base. Of a bright, daz-
zling shade of scarlet. The flesh is re-
markably solid, having but few seeds.
The flavor is perfect, absolutely free
from any acidity. We have no hesi-
tancy whatever, in recommending it to
any class of growers, not only for extra
early use, but for a good all round vari-
ety, for until quite late in the fall, we
have been able to gather good fruit
from this variety, and after all others
had long since ceased fruiting. Un-
doubtedly the most prolific of all early tomatoes, and equal in size to the lar-
gest of any early sort put on the market. A very valuable acquisition to the C
tomato list. Pkt., 10c. Oz., 40C. 20z.,'70c. 1-4 Ib., $1.25. : :

ARTICHOKE—Jerusalem.
From four to five bushels will seed an
acre; they shouldjibe cut the same, as
potatoes, one eye on a piece being suffh-
cient, planted in May, in rows three feet
apart and about eighteen inches in the
rows, and covered about two inchesdeep.
They are the best hog food known,
and are attracting much attention on
account of their great fattening proper-
ties, 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.
J They are well adapted to any soil
where corn or potatoes can be grown.
Jerusalem Artichoke. Tubers, per quart, 25 cents; per peck, $1.00; per
bushel, $3.00.
ASPARAGUS.
This is one of the first and finest spring relishes which comes to
the table from the garden, and it really requires very little trouble in
cultivation, since a bed once properly made and planted will last for
years. The soil for the bed can hardly be made too rich, and the
fertilizer should be well trenched-in to the depth of 2 feet or more.
The roots should: be planted as early in spring as the ground can be
prepared, setting them a foot apart in rows 3 or 4 feet apart, with
the crowns from 4 to 6 inches below the surface of the bed. Aspar-
agus seeds may be sown directly in the permanent bed and the plants thinned
as they grow; or it may be sown elsewhere, and the seedlings transplanted the
second year. An ounce of seed will sow 50 feet of drill, and produce about
300 plants. Fair crops may be expected the third year.

CABBAGE.
One ounce will produce about three thousand plants.
The Cabbage is one of the most important vegetables, and some of its
varieties universally cultivated. The ground must be highly manured, deeply
dug or plowed, and thoroughly worked, to insure good, full sized heads. A
heavy, moist and fresh loam is the most suitable. The early sorts should be
sown very early in the spring, in hot-beds, or later in the open ground.
Eighteen inches by three feet apart is the common distance.

shallow in the seed-bed, and when the plants
are about six inches high, transplant them
about six inches apart into trenches for blanch-
ing. 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 thor-
oughly, 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 sag

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, suchas leaf mould, has a
beneficial effect; but for many of the va-
rieties, 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 as a market crop, peas are never
staked, and are sown in single rows, two
or cree netics’ ‘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.

One ounce will produce fifteen hundred
plants. This vegetable is one of the most
important of all garden products. They
thrive best in a warm, light rich soil. For
early plants, sow about the first week in
March in a hot-bed; or in boxes or pots
in a warm window. When the plants are
about two inches high, set out in boxes,
three inches deep, four inches apart, in
the same temperature, or pot singly. If
plants will be still more stocky. Set out
in the open ground about the first of
June, four feet apart each way, using a
shovelful of rotted manure in each hill.
Keep well sheltered and watered until
they are established, after which let the
fruit have plenty of sun.

the spring, in drills twelve*to eighteen inches
apart. For a continuous supply through the
season, sowings should be made every two
weeks until the last of July; from which time
until the middle of August the principal sow-
ings are made for the fall and winter use.

Lawns and Their Management.
In the formation of lawns, the ground
should be thoroughly cleared of root-
weeds before sowing. It should be dug or
trenched to an equal depth. To prevent
an unequal settlement, and, to secure this,
it should be repeatedly trodden, rolled and
leveled, until at last a firm and uniform
surface is obtained. The selection of
proper grass seed is the next important
matter. This requires more than ordinary
attention, that the kinds of grass be
suited both to the purpose and soil, and
that the mixture of these grasses be proportioned to suit the end in view. Our
mixtures are prepared to suit all soils and situations, and, whether used in pas-
tures or lawns, have invariably produced the best results. It is of great im-
portance that we should be acquainted with the nature of the land, which
enables us to furnish mixtures composed of grasses best adapted for the pur-
pose. It must be remeinbered, however, that much of the fine appearance of
our lawns depends upon regularity in mowing. If they are left too long in
spring before the operation is begun, or if allowed to grow strong in summer,
and, more especially, if not closely mown at the latest period in autumn, they
become coarse, the stronger grass overgrowing the weaker and the best, the
smoothness of the surface being destroyed, and ultimately the whole becoming
patchy and unsightly. All lawns should also be regularly rolled, and, unless
the subsoil be a porous, alluvial gravel, should also be thoroughly drained at
their formation. A drain should be carried along at the bottom of each ter-
race slope, so that they may at all times be comfortable to walk upon. The
seed may be sown in spring or fall, but, if sown in hot weather, a slight sowing
of oats, which vegetates quickly among the grass, will serve to protect the
springing grass. For forming new lawns, four bushels are required per acre,
or about one quart to each square rod of land, which should be regularly and
evenly distributed. Sixteen pounds to the bushel.
Dunning’s Lawn Grass Seeds.
One Pound Will Sow Four Hundred Square Feet.
This is a mixture of the different varieties of grass seed, which is best suited

A liberal quantity of seed should always be used to insure the best results.

These plants are selected with the utmost care and include none but truly desirable sorts
which we can thoroughly recommend. The sizes of plants furnished by us are in all instances
-as large as can be advantageously forwarded by mail; when comparing them with those of many
-other firms they will be found vastly superior.
We send out all plants during the first mild weather after receipt of the order, unless special
‘time is mentioned. The climbing vines, flowering shrubs and fruit plants must be sent out
while in a dormant condition, that is, before they commence to leaf out. Orders for these
items, therefore, should reach us by the middle of April at the latest. Orders for roses and
greenhouse plants can be filled up to the first of June.
We guarantee all plants to be packed so as to reach destination in good condition. We can-
not, however, be responsible for injury by freezing if the plants are ordered to be sent too early.
We do not guarantee our plants to live as that depends mostly upon the care and treatment they
‘receive after reaching destination.
ROSES.
Hybrid Perpetual Roses.
Roses of this class produce the largest and most beautiful flowers and the varieties offered
below are all thoroughly hardy. Some sorts do not bloom until the second year, but when
thoroughly established they bloom very freely at the usual season, June and July, and at inter-
‘vals throughout the balance of the summer and fall. They should invariably be planted in the
open ground, being adapted for out-door cultivation rather than for house cuiture. They will
stand a considerable amount of hardship and neglect but improve greatly with good cultivation
-and rich soil. The quantity and size of blooms will be greatly increased by severe pruning
-each spring. All rough and scragly wood should be cut away entirely and the other shoots
should be cut back enough so as to leave only two or three eyes to grow.
Price of all Roses under this class, 12¢ each; any 3 for 30c; any 6 for 55c; any 12 for $1.00,
postpaid.
Alfred Colomb,. Bright carmine-crimson; very large; fine shape; free flowering.
American Beauty. Rich, rosy crimson; of exquisite form and delicious fragrance; almost
continuously in flower.
Anne de Diesbach. Brilliant shell-pink; very large and showy; sweet scented; very double
and of fine form; of strong growing, vigorous habit.
Baron de Bonstettin. Rich dark red, passing to a deep, velvety maroon, sometimes almost
purple; large, sweetly scented, very double and beautiful.
Caprice. A striped rose, the ground color being a clear, satiny pink, distinctly striped and
dashed with white and bright carmine. The flowers are large, slightly cup-shaped but full and
-deep. The buds are especially handsome, being of fine shape and showing the stripe and mark-
ings to great advantage.
Coquette de Alps. Pure white, tinged with pink in the center; truly a continuous bloomer,
as it is scarcely ever without flowers from early summer until cut off by frost in the fall. Flow-
ers are good size, well formed and sweetly scented.
Coquette de Blanches. Similar tothe preceding, except that the flowers have a creamy
tinge, instead of pink, in the center; equally free flowering in habit.
Gen. Jacqueminot. A grand old rose which everyone knows, at least, by name and reputa-
‘tion. Rich, crimson-scarlet in color and especially handsome in the bud. Although introduced
nearly fifty years ago it is still unrivaled in popularity and of great value for garden planting.
Gen. Washington. Soft, glossy scarlet; flowers large, broad and open in shape but very
-double; especially desirable on account of the quantities of flowers produced in the fall, when
many other varieties bloom but shyly.

formed, very double and full, fragrant; color an exquisite shade of clear, coral rose, suffused

plant producing thousands of most exquisite blossoms, which are delightfully fragrant and

DOROTHY PERKINS.
The Newest and Best Hybrid-Memorial Rose.
The Dorothy Perkins was one of a lot of some 200 hybridised seedlings of Wichuriana and is
thought to have crossed with Mme. Gabriel Luizet. Inthe important point of hardiness
nothing more could be desired. The
flowers are of large size for this class
of Rose, usually 13 inches across; are
borne in clusters of from six to ten and
are very double; the petals are very
prettily rolled back and crinkled; the
buds are remarkably pretty, being
pointed in shape and of just the right
size for the button-hole. The color is
a most beautiful clear shell pink and
holds a long time without fading. In
vigor and habit of growth the ‘‘Doro-
thy Perkins” is a true decendant of
Rosa Wichuriana. Like the latter, its
natural habit is to trail flat along the
ground although it is also susceptible
of being trained over arches or other
supports. The flowers are very sweetly scented, a characteris-
tic not possessed by most other roses of this class. Each 2o0c.,
two for 35c., three for 50c., postpaid.

The New Japanese Rambler Roses.
These are all Very Hardy, and the Most Charming of all Climbing Roses.
Crimson Rambler.
An exceedingly vigorous, rapid grower, making shoots Ito to 20 feet in height in one season.
When pegged down or grown as a bush it is equally desirable, producing in marvelous pro-
fusion large trusses of flowers pyramidal in form, and in color a rich glowing crimson. When
in full bloom it is a vivid crimson mass of beauty. In Japan, its native home, it is known as
the ‘‘Cherry Rose,” so bright are its flowers.
Price each 12 cts., 3 for 30c.; postpaid.
New Hardy Rambler Rose Helene. In many respects itis an improvement over Crimson
Rambler, of which it is a seedling, being of more robust growth but not as rigid as its parent;
elegant and graceful in habit. Makes a growth of 10 to 15 feet in a season. Foliage similar to
Crimson Rambler, but less subject to mildew and insect attacks. For open-ground culture it
has no superior, being perfectly hardy and a strong, healthy grower. Its flowers are borne in
large clusters and are produced in amazing profusion. The flower is almost double, and of
excellent substance, remaining in perfection on the bush for weeks. Color soft violet rose;
almost blush, base of petals yellowish white, while the anthers and pistils are pure yellow,
rising boldly from the flower.

ful fragrance. Price each 12 cts.; 3 for 30 cts. Postpaid.
New White Rambler.
Thalia. This charming new rose of the Rambler variety is a wonder. It climbs rapidly, is
entirely hardy, produces immense clusters of pure white roses, perfectly double, of delightful
fragrance, and of an immaculate white. Price, each, 12 cts.; 3 for 30 cts. Postpaid.
New Yellow Rambler.
Aglaia. The Yellow Rambler has been found to successfully withstand, without protection,
a continued temperature of from zero to two degrees below, which proves it to be far hardier
than any other yellow climbing rose yet introduced, and we believe that by laying the plants
down in the winter it can be successfully grown in nearly all the northern parts of the U. S.; in
fact anywhere that other roses succeed at all well. The flowers are borne in immense clusters,
after the same manner as the Crimson Rambler. Price, each, 12 cts.; 3 for 30 cts, Postpaid.
Moss Roses.
This is a favorite class with every one, on account of the beautiful buds, which, for bouquets

are without doubt the best fertilizers in the world for producing the largest possible crops of
Grass, Grain and Vegetables in the shortest tine. The Bradley Fertilizer Co. manufacture
fertilizers of all grades and for all crops; and being the largest manufacturers in the world,
their facilities for furnishing all kinds of fertilizers and agricultural chemicals at the lowest
prices are absolutely unequalled.
Their leading brands are
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 fertilizers 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 volum?2s of praise—‘‘the Old
Reliable.”
As it is 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 jManure.
Bradley’s Potato Manure is in no sense a theoretical or experimental mixture, but is pre-
pared from formulas which repeated field 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 ataconsiderable 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, with
10 per cent. Potash.
These manures are the richest and most concentrated fertilizers sold, as has been abund-
antly proven by actual results in the field. They are manufactured from the very best plant-
food material 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.
Send to us for finely illustrated pamphlets, describing all of their
brands, and let us quote you prices on these unequalled fertilizers

Superior to all for Planting Field Ensilage and Fodder
Corn, Broom Corn, Beans, Peas, Beets and

This Planter is perfectly adapted to every requirement; durable and simple in construction;
not liable to get out of order, in consequence of its having no 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 none of the working parts, except the Drive Wheel, are in motion
only at the instant the seed and fertilizer is dropped in the hill, then it remains still until the
next hill is reached. Corn planted by this machine germinates much quicker and comes up
much more uniformly than if planted by hand.

It has no shafts that will hinder working close to the fence.
IT WILL NOT CLOG—The long, curved, spring teeth are so placed and shaped that
clogging is impossible.
It is V shaped, which not only makes it a stronger tool than the straight framed weeders.

Fuller’s Unique Wheel Hoe Ao. 2.
. ; For closely planted crops, as beets, carrots,
onions, etc., this hoe is without an equal and
can be used the entire season. Having only one
wheel it runs between the rows without bruising
the tops; and having no frame work it does not
tear the growing plants on either side. The
great feature of this hoe above all others is that
it can be easily and quickly adjusted to any
height or pitch desired by means of thumb nuts.
The entire hoe weighs less than ten pounds and
yet is a most practical tool.
Price $2.50
Fuller’s Unique Wheel Hoe Do. 1.
For cutting over yards or avenues, walks and

It is light, strong and durable and does most satis-
factory work where other hoes have failed. The steel
blades are exceptionally hard and heavy so as to give
little wear and great resistance. Being easily adjusted
to any height or pitch the long, tedious work of the
- hand hoe is superseded by ease and facility.

Fuller’s Daisy Scuffle Hoe No. 4.
This scuffle hoe is far in advance of the common scuffle
hoes on the market, in that it cuts both ways having both
edges of the knife sharpened and the start pitched so that it
cuts equally with a draw motion toward the operator as with
a push from the one using the tool. The handles are of ash
six feet long. Those who have used it like it very much for
hoeing oversmall yards and short walks, for hoeing between
rows of closely planted crops, where a quick stirring of the ~
top soil is desired. It can be used wherever a scuffle hoe is
commonly used, with much better results.
Price 60 cents.
Fuller’s Daisy Scuffle Hoe No. 5.
No. 5 is a short handled scuffle hoe of very light, narrow steel for
hoeing and thinning celery, lettuce and a!l similar crops. The handle
is four feet long and the steel is of good quality and bent as seen in
the accompanying cut, so that there will be no clogging. It can be
used in various ways, so that the entire weeding can be accomplished
easier and much quicker than by ordinary methods.

larly recommend a two-wheel seed sower, as the nicer work may be accomplished by a one-

as in this way the rows of young plants may be straddled and the cultivating done on both sides

New Universal Double Wheel Hoe, Cultivator, Plow and Rake.
SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR WORKING BOTH SIDES OF THE ROW AT ONE PASSING,
This new hand implement embraces all the
good points of older efforts in the same line,
and in addition offers new features which can
not fail of appreciation. The special recom-
mendation is the ADJUSTABLE ARCH, by which
not only the depth of work can be gauged but
which, by an ingenious devise, enables the teeth
to be pitched at any angle desired.
It can be pushed straight ahead but better
results are obtained by using it same as a scuffle
hoe with successive strokes of length to.suit the ,
nature of soil and crop.
It can be used either astride of or between
rows.
It is so symmetrically constructed that in

ground sharp on the cutting edges and overlap; they
SE LZ cut into and lift the soil toa depth of 4 to 6 inches,
SSS turning and pulverizing the ground precisely like the

These molds are carefully made of clear white birch and only brass hooks and screws are used
throughout, so that there is no possibility of rust and consequent discoloration of the wood.
The ornamentation is done by special machinery and when desired initials, monograms, etc.,
are substituted at a slight advance in cost. Each division on face of mold represents one-quarter

English Bug Compound
A BUG KILLING WONDER.
A safe, sure and cheap insecticide for destroying the pests which attack Potato Vines,
Cabbages, Squash, Cucumber, Melons, Tobacco, Currant, Rose Bushes (Chafer), Pear, Cherry,
Plum, or Quince Slug, Grapevine Flea Beetle, Raspberry, Gooseberry, Small Shrubs, or for
killing any coleopterous Bug whatever. :
English Bug Compound kills every coleoperous insect known. It is a combination of chemi-
cal poison and fertilizers, mechanically incorporated in a manner that prevents loss of strength
by evaporation or by age. It isa dark, gray colored, flour fine powder and its application to the
afflicted plant kills the bugs at once and promotes the growtb when the insects are destroyed.
It is an established fact that a Paris Green water mixture produces a lifeless, soggy potato;
while the use of English Bug Compound (at a great ultimate saving) brings forth a healthy,
hardy nutritious vegetable. The smallest grain acts as a deadly poison to the bugs and is food
and drink to the vine. The extreme fineness allows a most thorough distribution and the
smallest quantity will spread itself over a large space.
Send for circular showing testimonials from some of the prominent farmers who have used
English Bug Compound. We sold acarload of these goods last yearand found them very
satisfactory. English Bug Compound does not burn or injure the vines, and is sure death to
the bugs.
Price, 4c per pound.
BUG DEATH.
A
Is a non-poisonous article that effectually takes the
place of Paris Green and other dangerous insect pow-
ders.
It is sure death to the Potato, Squash and Cucumber
Bugs, Currant and Tomato Worms and many other
plant eating pests.
