humblest home may be made attractive with such surroundings, while without a good lawn even

the finest flowering plants and elegantly arranged beds seem insignificant. How important it is then
to plan for the best lawn obtainable. Do not spend money in sodding a lawn, for it is expensive and sel-
dom satisfactory. It costs much less to sow the seed, and the lawn is far better.

GRASS
Congress Park Lawn Seed Mixture

This mixture forms a close thick turf. It is composed of those grasses which will endure and keep get-
ting thicker and better the longer it stands. In this mixture we combine the quick growing grasses, which
give immediate effect, with those of lasting character. This lawn grass is suitable for any location, having
in its composition all the requirements for sandy loam, clayey soil and for a combination of soils. Even
under tiees this mixture succeeds well. It is our standard lawn grass. No preparation of grasses can be
blended which will give such universal satisfaction.

Shady Ramble Mixture

Just the thing for sowing under shade trees, as it is a combination of grasses which grow naturally in
the woods and are of Dwarf Evergreen growth.

A NICE VELVETY LAWN adds more to the beauty of a place than any other adornment, and even the

Embankment or Terrace Mixture

To get a good stand from seed upon a terrace or embankment requires a special blend of these grasses
having thick spreading roots. The soil is usually shallow on side hills and embankments, consequently
heavy rains tend to wash out the grass unless roots are exceedingly strong and tenacious. This mixture has
been found equal to all requirements and will give perfect satisfaction.

City Yard Mixture

We prepare this mixture for city yards where the grass is trodden down during the freezing and thawing
of one winter by the tireless feet of children who must play somewhere out of doors. This mixture is made
of the quick growing grasses and will give immediate results in early spring.

Young & Halstead Golf Link Mixture

There is no use to which a grass mixture is put that is so exacting as that used for pleasure grounds,
golf links, etc. No other turf is required to stand such wear and rough usage; hence the necessity of sowing
such grasses as will produce a thick and healthy growth and withstand the constant tramping of many feet.
We have devoted much time to experimenting in order to produce the correct mixture, such as will quickly
produce a rich green turf.

For the Putting Green

A careful study of the requirements for making the most substantial turf for putting greens developed,
the mixture herewith offered by us for this purpose. It has given perfect satisfaction wherever used, and
producesa thick, tough, beautiful green turf. The varieties composing this mixture are all the finest bladed,
low growing and most hardy kinds, and will maintain their rich velvety color throughout the season,

For the Links

Made from our own formula with the object of producing a turf that will stand rough usage. For
cricket table, golf links, polo grounds, or wherever a good sward is wanted, this seed will give perfect satis-

ae Y. & H. Plant Food

This is the quickest and surest acting plant food for house plants ever put on the market. It is com-
posed of quick acting and long lasting fertilizers and chemicals which will produce a bright, handsome
foliage of rich texture and larger and more brilliant flowers. It is very soluble and is readily assimilated, so
that marked improvement is noticed inten days. It is fine ard dry and easy to apply. One package is
enough for twenty ordinary plants for three months. Detailcd directions with each package. We recom-
mend it very highly for green house use, as the ingredients used in this Plant Food will keep off all earth
insects without injuring the plants. Special price in large quantities. Small packages, price 15c each.
Large packages, price 25c each. By mail, 20c and 35c.

delays which we are powerless to avoid occur inconsequence. Full shipping directions
should be given us. stating distinctly whether. large quantities are to be sent by express
or freight, otherwise we must use our own judgment regarding the best route: give
name of express company or railroad running to your place.

GUARANTEE

Complaints as to the germination of seeds should most times be attributed to other
causes, than tothe vitality of the seed. There are hundreds of contingencies continually
arising to prevent the best seed giving satisfaction, such as sowing too deep, too
shallow or in too wet or too dry soil; insects of all descriptions, destroying the plants as
soon as, or before, they appear: wet weather, cold weather, frosts, chemical changes
in the seeds induced by temperature, etc.

For the above reasons, it is impracticable to guarantee seeds under all
circumstances.

Young & Halstead give no warranty, expressed or implied, as to description,
quality, productiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs or plants we send out,
and we will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not
accept the goods on these terms, they are at Once to be returned.

How to Build and Manage -Hot Beds

For early vegetables, some provision for starting certain plants earlier than can be
done in the open air is desirable; for this purpose nothing is better than a good hot-bed,
and its construction is so simple and the expense so slight that every garden should
have one. A hot-bed not only protects plants from the cold, but supplies bottom heat.
By this term the gardenet means that the soil is constantly kept several degrees warmer
than the air above, that being the condition so far as heat is concernéd, which is most
favorable for rapid and vigorous growth, and gardeners usually secure it by making a
compact pile of some fermenting material and covering it with the earth in which the
plants are to grow. 2

Heating Material. The best heating material that is easily available is fresh
horse Manure, containing a liberal quantity of straw bedding. Such manure, if thrown
into a loose pile, will heat violently and unevenly and will soon become cold. What is
wanted in the hot-bed is a steady and moderate but lasting heat. To secure this, the
manure should be forked over, shaken apart, and if dry, watered and allowed to stand
afew days and then be forked over again, piled and allowed to heet a second time, the
object being to get the whole mass into a uniform degree of fermentation, and as soon
as' this is accomplished, it is fit for use.

ac Sash. Some gardeners use sash made especially for hot-beds and glazed with small

lights cut from odds and ends, and so furnished st very low rates. Such sash can
usually.jbe.procured in any of our large cities, and costs much less than if made to
OLGEr TT Sav a

© "Phe Frame. This may be made of sound one-inch lumber, the back twelve to
folitteén inches high, the front ten to twelve. It should be well fitted to the sash so as
to leave as little opening as possible and yet allow the sash to be easily moved up and
down, eve when'the frame is quite wet.

The Soil. Thisjshould be light, rich, friable. Any considerable amount of clay in
itis very objectionable,. If possible, it should be unfrozen when put into the bed; for
this reason it is.much better to prepare it the fall before, and cover the pile with enough
coarse manure, or straw to.keep out the frost

Making the Bed. This requires careful attention, as future success depends

Management of the Bed. The essentials for success are a steady, uniform
degree of heat and moisture; keeping the soil at all times a few degrees warmer than
the air, and the careful ‘hardening off” (by exposure to the air and diminishing the
supply of water) of the plants before transplanting into the open air. Simple as these
may seem to be, there are many difficulties in the way of securing them, Prominent ,
among which are overheating the air under the bright sun. Without experience one
would scarcely believe how quicklv the temperature inside of a well:built..hot-bed will
rise to 90 or 100 degrees upon a still sunny day, even when the temperature outside is’
far below freezing, or how quickly the temperature will fall to that outside, if * upona™
windy, cloudy day the sash is left open ever so little. A rush of cold air driven over the.
plants is far more injurious than the same temperature when the air is still. Again, in
‘cloudy weather, a bed will go several days vithout watering, but will dry up in an hour
when-open on-a sunny day. The details of managment, however, must be learned by
experience, but may be easily acquired by-one who gives “thé matter careful attention,
keeping constantly in mind the essentials given above.

A Cold Frame. Isa simple construction’ of boards for wintering over young
plants, cabbage, lettuce, cauliflower, brocoli, etc.,and is also extremely useful to
protect and harden off plants from the green house or hot-bed before fully exposing
them in the open air. Selecta dry southern exposure, form a frame from four to six
feet wide and aslong as required. The back should” be fourteen to eighteen inches
high and the front eight to twelve, with a‘cross-tie every three*feet. The frdme may
be covered with sash or cloth. Seeds of the vegetables to be wintered, sown in open
border early in September, will be ready to plant in cold frames about the last of
October. The soil should be well prepared’ and smoothly, raked before planting.
Admit air freely on pleasant days, but keep close iu severe weather.

These frames are particular'y useful in the south, and may be covered more
cheaply with cloth shades than by sash. The shades are made as follows: Make light
but strong wooden frames to fit over the bed, and of a width to receive some common
brand of cotton cloth. The cloth may be unbleached and should be stretched over and
securely tacked to the frames. We have found that Plant-Bed Cloth, which we have
for sale, is superior to any ordinary cloth for this purpose.

Transplanting. In transplanting, the main points to be regarded are: Care
in taking up the plants so as to avoid injury to the roots, planting firmly so as to enable
the plant to take a secure hold of the soil, reducing the top to prevent evaporation, and
shading to prevent the hot sun from withering and blighting the leaves. In tfansplant-
ing from a hot-bed, harden the plants by letting them get quite dry a day or two betore,
but give an abundance of water a few hours before they are taken out. Itis most apt to be
successful if done just at evening, or immediately before or during the first part of a
rain; about the worst time being just after a rain, when the ground being wet it is im- |
possible to sufficiently press it about the plant without its baking hard: It water is
used at all it should be used freely, and the wet surface a. covered with dry
soil.

+ tery

Watering. The best time to water plants is between pune and sunrise. Weter
may be given to the roots at any time, but should never be sprinkled over the leaves.
while they are exposed to bright sunshine. If watering a plant has been commenced,
continue to supply it as it is needed, or more injury than good will result from what has
been given. One copious watering is better than many scanty sprinklings. The ground
should always be stirred with a hoe or rake as soon ante wiser es as it can be done
without making the soil muddy.

tory. The pods area rich green, very round and straight, five inches long, solid,
meaty and broad. Pkt. 5c; pt. loc; qt. 25c.

Longfellow—This is an ideal green pod bush bean. It is remarkably early, in fact, it is
one of the earliest green pod sort yet offered. It is also a good cropper equal to any
of the so-called early varieties. The pods are long, round and perfectly straight,
with a soft delicate green color which is preserved almost intact for a long period
after picking. The pods are free from that tough, stringy inner lining, which is so
common among snap beans. All ofthese good points, when combined, we think,
make Longfellow one of the truckers’ favorite. Pkt. 5c; pt. 15c; qt. 25c.

CABBAGE

Culture—All that the cabbage tribe requires is the soil to be rich, deep, well drained
and abundantly manured. For the early kind plant thirty inches between the rows and
sixteen inches between the plants. For late kind, three feet between the rows and two
feet between the plants. For very early use, sow in January or February in hot beds.
Set out when the plants are strong enough, into other hot beds, or set in cold
frames in March. Transplant when danger from frost is past, to the open
ground. Fora succession, sow in open ground last of March or early in April. Late
plants are sometimes subject to attack of cabbage fly, which destroys them as fast as
they appear above ground. To prevent this destruction, sprinkle the plants with wood
ashes when the plants are wet with dew. 1 oz., 1,500 plants, % Ib. to the acre.

CAULIFLOWER

Culture—‘auliflower is the most delicate and delicious of the cabbage family. For
the production of the cauliflower, a rich deep loam is required, a low moist situation
being :referable. A liberal supply of water when possible produces very marked
results, Seed of the very early variety should be sown in a hot bed in February or
March. For later supply, sow seed in May, chevsing a cool moist place. When large
enough, transplant, making the rows about 2% feet apart, and |S inches between the

aN CELERY

Culture-—-Celery seed is slow to germinate, and allowance must be made for that
fact, and ample time given. It must be sowed with care, and covered very lightly with
the finast soil and kept constantly moist. It may be started under glass, but seed for
main crop is always sowed in the open boarder and transplanted to garden or field. We
recommend smooth seed rows, two or three inches wide, with the seed scattered thinly
thereon; if set in the field in four feet rows, six inches apart in row, it will require over
20,000 plants to the acre. When the seedling plants are three inches high, their tops
should be clipped to favor stocky growth. Trench culture has been mostly abandoned
for level culture, as the self blanching sorts require little hilling. In private gardens it
is best to plant late celery ia double rows, and store it where it grows, without disturb-
ing the roots. In market gardens it is planted in single rows and lifted for winter
storage. 1 oz. about 5,000 plants. 4 oz. per acre.

Culture—Plant as soon as the ground becomes warm in the spring, in hills about
three feet apart; five or six grains to the hill, and when up thin them out, allowing three
or four of the strongest plants to remain; give thorough cultivation. Our sweet corn is
carefully grown and selected, only the choicest, most perfect ears being shelled for seed.
Planting corn at different times, will enable the grower to have corn until killed by frost.

Extra Early Adams—A very EARLY twelve-rowed Dent Corn. $3.00 per 100 ears.

Red Cob, Cory —This is one of the earliest sweet corns. It was originated in Rhode
Island by a market gardener named Cory, and for years headed the list of quick
growing varieties. Very dwarf, and may be closely planted, two ears to 4a stalk;
cob red, fit for use in fifty-two days from planting. Pt. 10c; qt. 2Uc; 4 qts. 65c;

Extra Selected White Cob, Cory—This has for years been the most popular variety with
market gardeners, for first early market, and until the introduction of the Troy Market
it was grown more largely than any otherearly variety. It is of a dwarf growth and
yields well, ears being of medium size. Pt. 10c; qt. 20c; 4 qts 65c; pk. $1.00.

Troy Market—The largest eared and Best early True Sweet Corn. This
grand new variety produces fine large ears. In size of ear and fine
quality, it equals the best second earlies, such as Champion or
Crosby. The stalks grow about 5 feet high, the ears are of most
handsome appearance. The cobis pure white and the ear holds
its thickness throughout the entire length, and is well filled. It is
needless for us to say anything more about this corn, as it speaks for
itself, and those wno have ‘grown it say that it is the finest corn
they have ever grown. Pt. loc; qt. 30c; 2 ts. o0c; 4 ais. oe:

MUSHROOMS

Culture-—Mushrooms can be grown in any dark room or cellar, where the tempera-
ture can be maintained at 50 or 60 degrees: Procure the soil from old pastures, and
store it away, To one bushel ot this soiladd two bushels of fresh horse manure; of this
well mixed compound; prepare a bed, say four feet wide, put downa thin layer and
pound it down hard, and go on until you have a bed eight inches thick. It will soon
become pretty hot, but let the heat recede until it is only 85 or 90 degrees, then make
holes one foot apart, and put in the spawn, two or three pieces as big as a walnut in
each hole; cover the holes and press the soil solid and smooth. Let the bed remain in
this condition about twelve days, then coverit with two inches of fresh loam and over
this place four or five inches of hay or straw, and the work is done, and if the tempera-
ture is right, in six or eight weeks you may expect mushrooms. The bed will continue
bearing from twenty to thirty days. After the first crop is gathered, spread over the bed
aninch of fresn soil, moisten with warm water and cover with hay as before; success is
not always certain with the amateur and is usually to be attained only after more or less
experience, One pound of spawn is enough for a bed 3 and 6 feet. English spawn in

ONION

Cuiture—Onions must have a clean and very rich soil; it is useless to attempt to
grow them on a poor unsuitable one. A liberal use of manure is more essential to this
than any other crop; it should be of the best quality, well fermented, and thoroughly
worked over during the previous summer. [If it is too rank, it is liable to make soft
onions, with many scallions. Reed’s or Lister’s fertilizers will often benefit soils that are
already very rich; get the seed in as early as possible in the spring, no matter if it is
cold and unpleasant; a week too late in sowing makes the difference between a good and
bad harvest. If onions do not get a good growth before hot dry weather, the crop is
sure to bea failure. Sow in drills not less than a foot apart nor more than half an inch
deep; keep the soil mellow and clear of weeds. Three days of neglect when the weeds
are growing rapidly, will sometimes ruin acrop. In cultivating, to destroy weeds, and
keep the ground mellow, do not cover the young bulbs with earth, as onions grow on
the top of the ground. They may be allowed to remain pretty thick, no matter if they
crowd each other. With proper manuring, onions can be grown on the same land for
a score of years, and it will become cleaner and better every year. 1 oz.—100 feet drill,
6 lbs. per acre.

profitable, and a splendid keeper. There will always be a demand for yellow globe

Notice—The onion is such an important crop to large growers, and the preparation of the soil and
culture so expensive, and consequently a failure from bad seed and other causes is so disastrous, that
we have determined to sell no seed except what we know to be new, true, and of good stock.

Peas-- Continued

Canada Field—The foliage and habit of growth quite similar to garden peas. The Canada field
pea is one of the very best soiling crops at the north, and is largely used for that purpose
and for green manuring. It is sometimes grown alone, but ithe most satisfactory dairy re-
sults come from the sowing it with oats, ryeor barley. It makes good ensilage, and is an
admirable food either green or dry, for cattle, being highly nutritious and rich in milk-pro-
ducing elements. It is quite hardy and may be sown early in the spring, and will be ready
to cutin May or June. $2.00 a bushel.

RADISH

Culture—Radishes require a light, rich sandy loam; heavy or clayey soils, not only delay
their maturity, but produce crops much inferior, both in appearance and especially in flavor.
For a constant supply, sow from the mid-
dle of March until September, at intervals
of two or three weeks. For anearly sup-
ply, they may be sown in hot-beds in
February. For winter radishes, sow the
seed about beginning of July, and keep
the roots during winterin a cool cellar,
covered with earth. They should be
placed in cold water an hour or so before
using. One oz. to 100 feet drill; 10 lbs.

Scarlet Globe—People who desire to
have the finest and first red radishes,

has a small, short top, and is well
adapted to open air culture or to forcing
under glass- In favorable weather and
in good soil, it will mature in eighteen

RHUBARB

_Culture—Rhubarb succeeds best indeep, somewhat retentive soil; the richer its con-
dition, and the deeper it is stirred, the better. Sow in drills an inch deep, and thin out the
plants to sixinches apart. In the fall, transplant the young plants into very highly manurea
and deeply stirred soil, setting them from four to six feet apart each way and give a dressing
of manure every spring. The stalks should not be plucked until the second year, and the plant
never allowed to exhaust itself by running to seed.

SALSIFY, OR OYSTER PLANT

Culture—It succeeds best in a light well enriched soil, which should be
stirred to a good depth. Coarsefand fresh manure should be avoided, as it

SQU ASH

Culture—It is useless to plant squash until the soil is quite warm, and all danger of
frost of cold nights is over, and as they make a very rapid growth, there is no necessity for haste
in getting the seed into the ground. Squash likes a rich soil,and it is best to manure in the hill.
Plant a dozen seeds in each hill, and when danger from ‘‘Bugs”’ is over. pull up all but three or
four. A mellow, warm soil is best. For bush sorts, make hills four or five feet apart each way,
and for the running kinds, twice that distance. Squashes are intwo classes,summer and winter,

The summer are used when young and tender, and the winter,
when well ripened, will usually keep until spring. Winter
squashes should be;ripened thoroughly, or they will be watery
and lack sweetness and richness, and will not keep through
the winter. (Use Bug Death for squash bugs.) One 0z. to 56

TOMATO

Culture—Tomatoes do best on light, warm, not over rich soil, and success depends upon
_ Securing a rapid, vigorous and unchecked growth during the early part of the season. Sow in
hot beds from six to eight weeks
before they can be set out of doors,
which is when danger from frost is
past. When the plants have four
leaves transplantinto shallow boxes
or cold frames, setting them four
or five inches apart; give plenty of
air and endeavor to secure a vigor-
ous= but steady and _ healthful
growth, so that at the time of
setting in the open ground they
will be strong and stocky, even a
slight check while the plants are
small, will materially diminish their
productiveness. Set out of doors
as soon as danger from frost is
over, but before doing so harden
off the plants by gradually expos-
ing them to night air and by the
with-drawal of water until the
wood becomes hard and thick
leaved, and of afdark green color.

TURNIP

Culture—For feeding stock in fal! and winter, there is nothing superior to Turnips and
Ruta Bagas, as they are much liked by all kinds of stock and serve to keep them in good condition
We cannot too earnestly recommend farmers to increase their sowings largely, for we are sure
the crop will prove remunerative. This wholesome and agreeable vegetable is most easily affected
in its form and flavor, by soil, climate and mode of cultivation. There are a great many
varieties, but our list comprises the best for the garden or farm. Sow in drills about sixteen
nches apart, and half an inch deep; sow broadcast, but in either case be sure to have the ground
rich andfreshly dug. Be careful to weed and thin out, so the young plants will not be checked
and injured, as over crowding will result in rough and poorly flavored fruit. Itis important to
get the spring and summer crops started early so that the turnips may have time to grow to
sufficient size before hot weather causes them to become tough and bitter. To preserve turnips
in good order for winter, store in a cool cellar and cover with sand or turf to keep them fresh.
Another method is to put them in a pit dug in dry soil, where there will be no danger of water
standing, and to cover with straw overlaid with earth sufficiently deep to keep out frost. Thus
protected, turnips will keep well till spring.

GRASSES

Culture—The grasses are receiving increased agricultural attention in America, which
means better farming. Success in grass culture demands nice and exact methods. The soil
should be worked to a depth of nine to twelve inches, heavy applications of both natural and
artificial fertilizers should be made» The mixture of fertilizers with the soil, and the pulveriza-
tion of the soil should be perfect. Seeding should be extremely shallow, much grass seed is
buried too deeply and lost. Sowing may occur in spring or fll but we prefer early spring sowing
as arule. Many farmers are now sowing grasses and clover alone, in the spring in well prepared
soil, and treating them in the best possible manner, giving them the full benefit of the original
manures and also annual application of fertilizers afterward.

Note. Prices on grass and clover seeds are net cash. Send for prices and samples.

Red Clover—The agricultural favorite of the east and also largly sown in the west: well and
favorably known everywhere, especially valuable for dairy cows on account of high percen-
tage of nitrogenous elements or proteine. Sow ten totwelve pounds per acre in early spring:

and highly nutritious, lasts well for many years, on both wet and dry soil. Sow ten to fifteen
pounds per acre.

Kentucky Blue Grass—Also called June grass: best of all native grasses for pasture. Blooms
in June; a true perennial, but requires two or three years to become established; succeeds
everywhere, but prefers a rich soil and a rather dryer situation than red top. One of the
most desirable lawn grasses, especially in mixtures. Height nine to eighteen inches. Three
bushels to the acre.

Orchard Grasses

Some times called dock’s foot. Height three feet. Admirable for pasturage or for mowing.
but unsuited to lawn, on account of its tendency to bunch. Will growin the sun or shade. Use
3 to 4 bushels to the acre. 14 pounds to bushel.

English or Perennial Rye—Largely used 1n lawn and pasture mixtures. It makesarich, green
sod and a nutritious hay, and lasts for several years. Use 60 pounds to the acre.

Rhode Island Bent—A valuable perennial for lawns and pasturage. Much like red top, though
smaller, thrives on light, dry soils as well as on rich, moist ones. For lawn purposes, if used
alone, it should be sown at the rate of about forty pounds to the acre. For pasture, if used
alone, twenty-four pounds to the acre.

Wood Meadow Grass—Grows from one to one and a half feet high: has a perennial creeping
root, and an erect, slender, smooth stem. One of the best varieties tosow in shaded situa-
tions, such as orchards and parks, for either hay or pasturage. Sow about thirty pounds.
to the acre.

Alfalfa or Lucerne Clover—The great agricultural clover of the west; now rapidly coming into
favor in the east: well adapted to dry sections, but thriving anywhere on well-drained soil
It is a perennial plant, lasting many years under good treatment, and may by cutting several
times each season when well established; perfectly hardy, root system remarkable for develop-
ment. Alfalfa roots not infrequently descends ten or more feet into the soil, indicating
ability to resist dronght. Itis not to be recommended for wet cr heavy soils, but should be tried
by all dairymen whose land has good under drainage. Use thirty to thirty-five pounds per
acre. Sow in April and May on well-lined land. An Alfalfa field is worthy of all care and
expense required to produce it.

White Dutch Clover—This thrives in almost any and every soil and climate, succeeding equally
well on heavy moist land and thin dryhillsides. It is of low-creeping growth and most valu-
able both in pasture mixtures and for green velvety lawns. Per pound 20c. Larger
quantities, prices on application.

Timothy—tThis is the most valuable of all the grasses for hay, especially in the north; thrives
best on moist, loamy soils of medium tenacity. It should be cut just when the blossoms fall.
Sow early in spring or fall; sow + bushel to acre, but less if mixed with other grasses.

Grasses-- Con tinued

Red Top or Herds Grass—One of our best notive pasture grasses: blooms in July, useful for
lawn or field, prefers a moist situation, but grows weiJ, almost everywhere. Height one to
two feet. Three bushels to the acre, 14 1bs. to bushel.

Fancy Red Top—Same as above, but no chaff. Use ? bushel to acre: about 28 lbs. to bushel.

Y. & H. Special Grass Mixture—For hay and permanent pasture. Willlast from fifteen to
to twenty years without renewal. We offer two carefully made mixtures for permanent
pastures, one for light and one for heavy land. Grasses are chosen that wili stand for a
number of years. With either mixture whether intended for mowing lands or for pasture,
should be sown ten pounds of mixed clover seed per acre. The clover seeds being much
heavier, should be sown separately. More and more land is being laid down to permanent
pasturages in our dairy states, andit is of increasing importance not only to use the best
grasses but to employ those which by their differing habits of growth, will produce an
unbroken succession of succulent food for grazing stock. Use 3 bushels of grass to acre.
Bushel 14 lbs, $2.50; 10 lbs. mixed clovers, $2.00.

Sorghum, or Sugar Cane—All the sorghums have better drought resisting qualities than
Indian corn, and hence have attracted the attention of agriculturalists in search of summer
forage crops. The variety of sorghums are many, and may be classed as saccharine and non
saccharine, (sweet and not sweet). The first includes sugar cane, etc:, and the second group
milo maize, Jerusalem corn, Kaffircorn, etc. Within recent years, dairymen have widely
recognized the high economic value of thickly sown sorghum as a summer food for milk
cows, and the demand for such seed is now great. Use about 18 lbs. to the acre.

OATS--Improved American

This grand variety, introduced by us, has become the leading sort in many locations. It is
very productive, growing-with a strong stiff straw from four to five feet in height; grains plump.
and of a bright yellow color. 65 cts. bu.

BUCKWH EA T--]apanese

The best, most productive and most profitable variety 1n cultivation. From one-half bushel
sown, a crop of forty bushels hus been harvested. In color the grain isa rich, dark brown: it
ripens a week earlier than Silver Hull, and yieldstwo orthreetimes asmuch Excellent for bees.

BARLEY

Barley succeeds best on rich lands more sandy and lighter than those adapted to wheat. It
is sown in the spring, and can be grown farther north than any other grain. Use about two and
a haif bushels per acre. Our stock is unusually fine.

RAPE--Dwarf Essex. Imported Stock

This is the best mid-summer and autumn sheep forage known, and it is also used for pigs
and dairy cows with success. It is a pliant of the cabbage family, requiring the same treatment
as the turnip; stock should be fed alternately on grass and rape: not an exclusive rape diet, and
rape-fed animals should have access to salt. Sow in May for mid-summer pasturage, or in June
or July for autumn pasturage. Sow three pounds of seed to acrein drills or five or ten pounds
broadcast. Rapeisan excellent green manure for plowing down. lb. 10c. Larger quanties,
prices on application.

SOUTHERN COW PEAS

Cow peas are held in very high esteem for forage purposes, especially in sandy soils. Itis
said that the cow peas has almest as much agricultural importance as red clover or alfalfa.
Great changes are now in progress, however, in farming methods, and there is to-day, a wide-
spread disposition to plant cow peas farther north than formerly, on account of their quick grow-
ing habit, their drought resisting ability, and their great value for silage and soil improvement
purposes. They will thrive whenever cgnditions favor corn. The yield per acre often reaches
five tons, and is sometimes as much as eight or nine tons.

Some growers turn the mature vines under the plow, some harvest the hay and plow down
the stubbs; others ripen and pick the seed, and then plow the vines under. Sow seed at the rate
of one to one and one-half bushels per acre. The cow peais a nitrogen gatherer, and hence im™
proves the soil.

Cow Peas— Continued
Black

It is very quick to mature, and is adapted to northern localities and late plantings; it is one
of the best cow peas for land improvement purposes, and yields a very large amount of forage;
it belongs to the class of trailers.

Whip-Poor-Will

One of the best. Largely grown in the north and west; an early bush variety, with
brown speckled seeds. An old favorite, largely planted for forage and soil improvement.

Vicia Villosa or «Hairy Vetch”’

A hardy pea-like plant which grows strongly during the late fall and early winter. It is
more satisfactory for the north than crimson clover, as it may be sown late: and will make a
larger crop of green foliage earlier in the spring. Asa cover crop, it will prevent the land from
washing during winter storms, and at the same time enrich the soil by storing nitrogen from the
air. It succeeds well on light sandy soils or thin, poor hillsides. Seed should be sown broad
cast or drilled in at the rate of one bushel per acre. Ifa half bushel of rye is sown or drilled
with the Vetch, the straw will furnish a support for the vines to run on, making them easier to
mow for feed, or to turn under with the plow.

Fodder Corn

Sweet Fodder—¥or cutting in the green state for cattle or other live stock, sweet corn
is superior to any of the ordinary field corn. Under this head we offer the verg?:een Sweet
corn. This makes fodder, and will mature ears in almost any part of the state. Krom one and
a half to two bushels of fodder corn are required to the acre, according to how the seed is
planted. It may be planted in hills the same as other field corn, drilled, or sown broadeast.
The best fodder is that which makes the greatest amount of leaves, and has the greatest amount
of nourishment at the same time.

Delaware Sheep’s Tooth

The most popular variety for green fodder.

Improved Leaming Dent

A very popular and extremely productive variety. On good lands the stalks grow tall, pro-
ducing two ears to each stalk: the ears are long, with small red cob well filled with grain of
medium size, of arich goldencolor. It ripens in one hundred to one hundred and ten days, and
makes agood crop even in dry seasons, by reason of its strong vigorous growth. The stalks
are leafy, making excellent fodder, while the grains being so deep, vield an extra large quantity
ot shelled corn per bushel of ears.

Pride of the North

This is a very early variety and is excellent for short cool seasons, or where a late planting
is made, The ears are from eight to ten inches in length and bave from fourteen to sixteen
rows of slender deep grains.

Rice Pop Corn—A very handsome and prolific variety, ears short, kernels long pointed, and
resemble rice: color white. Probably no variety of pop corn is superior to this for parching.

MILLETS

The Millets are all grasses. They are of several genera and many
species. They are mostly of foreign origin. In Asia they furnish
food for human beings, the seed being ground and eaten. In America
they are largely employed for forage purposes. Most of them have
quick growing and drought resisting qualities, and truly high agricul-
tural values.

Siberian Millet—-A Millet introduced from Russia which gives excel-
lent results in the United States, It attains a height of from three
to four feet and has the habit of stooling or branching at the root, -
thus producing a very large crop oi forage. It is earlier than
German Millet. The forage is well liked by live stock. Use seed at
the rate of + cushel to the acre, and sow not later than June.

oe ie

SSS

Hungarian Millet—Often called Hungarian grass. In general favor
for summer forage purposes as it can be sown in June, as a second
crop, and will be ready for the scythe in 60 days. It will yield two to
three tons of hay per acre. it grows on light soils, and withstands
heat and drought. Sow seed roadbeast at the rate of one bushel
to acre.

German or Golden Millet—This is a larger and heavier variety than
the so-called Hungarian Millet, but is closely allied to it botanni-
cally. The German or Golden has yellow, drooping heads, while
the Hungarian has heads which are smaller, more erect and more

compact, with bristles usually purplish. German Millet is a fine crop

for both soiling and hay. For the latter purpose, it must be cut just as it
begins to head, before blooming, for it is liable to injure stock after the seeds are formed.

It is ready for use in sixty to sixty-five days after sowing. When used at the proper stage

of deyelopment, it is oneof the most valuable of soiling plants. Sow at the rate three-quarter

to one bushel per acre for hay.

Read’s Standard

This brand is a general favorite for all crops, vegetable or grain. on all soils, and moderate in
price. Remember, in this brand you are getting four per cent. actual potash, which element is
largely deficient in all soils, and in many brands of fertilizers. Price, $25 per ton.

Practical Potato Special

Potatoes and many other vegetable crops are very large feeders on potash. You have in this
brand a “‘practical fertilizer,’’ complete in formula, yet moderate in price.

We would advise caution in applying this brand, especially on potatoes. It should not come
in direct contact with the potato seed, as it is avery strong concentrated fertilizer. Practical
Potato Special is equally economical in growing celery and onions. We have several customers
using it on these crops exclusively, who speak volumes in its praise. In a practical test against
four competing brands it took first place. Price, $27 per ton.

Leader Guano

This is a complete fertilizer of correct proportions made from same material as other brands,
and is becoming very popular as a grain grower. We recommend it especially for early garden
erops. Price, $20 per ton.

Lister's Ammoniated Dissolved Bone Phosphate

In this brand of fertilizer may be found all the required elements of plant food necessary to
not only give the plant a quick, vigorous start, but to carry it to maturity. We dare say there
has been no brand of fertilizers used to such an extent as has this brand. It is widely known as
an excellent guano for cotton, having for years led the van in every cotton-growing state; and
not alone for cotton, but for tobacco, cereals, vegetables of every class and variety, it has given
marked results. Manufactured from the best material.

itis also so clean that the most fastidious person can apply it without offending the organs
of sight or smell, it being quick in action, the effect can be seen immediately after the first
rain or sprinkling of the hose, and going directly to the root of the grass, stimulates them to
greater activity, thereby tnickening the sward and producing a firmer growth, which remains
green and velvety throughout the season. Its superiority over stable manure can scarcely be
estimated, as the latter, in addition to disfiguring the lawn by its unsightly appearance, also
gives out an unpleasant odor, and always contains Weeds and other undesirable seeds. It
can be applied at any time during the year, from April to November as often as the grass
seems to need nourishment. In making new lawns, apply at the same time the seed is sown
and rake in with the seeds; never apply the dressing while the grass is wet with dew or rain;
any time the grass is perfectly dry will answer, but the best time is just before a shower.

Union Lock Poultry Netting—This new fencing for poultry yards will supersede the old 2-in.

every practical raiser as a great advantage. The horizontal lines of this fence are all com-
posed of two No. 20 galvanized steel wires, twisted together. In strength, closeness of mesh,
adjustability and economy, it excels all others.

Humphrey Bone Cutter—In construction the
Humphrey is entirely unlike any other bone cutter
made. We have kept in mind the necessity of pro-
ducing a powerful cutting action, sufficient to attack
and reduce the large bones of a beef, at the same
time requiring no more motive power than that fur-
nished by the right arm of ahealthy boy or a wom-
an. The knives of the Humphrey cutter act upon
the shear principle, producing a granulated cutting,
without question the best form in which to feed
green bone. Chickens are not so apt to gorge
themselves with the bone in this form as they are
when it is reduced to a salve-like hash. Thisis a
vital point to which poultry raisers will do well to
give special attention.

Cyclone Carriers.

The Cyclone Swivel Carrier will elevate at any angle from 25 degrees to 70 degress, and to any
point within the radius of a half circle. The web tighteners or adjusters on our Carriers are
unequalled; for instance, in most carriers it is impossible to adjust the web until carrier has been
placed in position. In ours it is the reverse, as the web is adjusted before carrier is elevated. If
after running some time you should wish to draw tension on web, all that is necessary is simply
to ascend to top of carrier,empty handed, and give handle of screws the number of turns required.
Another point which helps to makes our carrier the foremost in point ot improvement is the short
section furnished at top of every carrier. By means of this three foot section at top, any length
¢an be inserted in the future; thus a party having a carrier of four sections, can use two, three or
all of them at one time. and as every joint is hinged instead of solid bolted, changes can be made
in a very few moments. Prices on application.

The Harder Silo

The one factor of storage room is a big one. A ton of hayrequires
500 cubic feet of storage space. while the same amount would store ten
ton of ensilage. This and the nature of ensilage makes almost a total
absence of fire risk. The farmer who carries his barn full of hay to
take his cattle through the winter, is carrying much greater risks and
paying much more in insurance premiums than his neighbor who has
his winter feed stored in a little round barn of moderate cost, which
could hardly be coaxed to burn, and which would injure its contents
but little if it should burn. Compare the expense of building a barn
to store your hay, to the cost of a silo, and add to both the difference
in insurance. Calculate the amount of space to store ten ton of hay
in your barn at 500 teet to the ton, and see the results. Write for
special catalogue giving prices and different kind of woods.

The, Olds Stationary Portable Gas and Gasoline Engines

They are especially designed for farmers for threshing, sawing wood, running ensilage cut-
ters, grinding grain, pumping water, running dairy outfits and many other uses; far superior to
steam or horse power, as they do not require attention after starting, and always develop their

‘full power. They are the /a/es¢, most original, most compact and simplest engine on the market:
everything in sight, and easy of access; do not require the services of an engineer. If you will

nvestigate the O/d’s Gasoline Engine, you will understand why there has never been a gasoline
engine on the market that has taken the lead so rapidly. Is there any wonder, when you look at
the neat designs and simplicity of this engine? All manufac turers boast of having a simply con-
structed engine. Note the comparison :

We have no cut gears on this engine; the inlet valve, outlet and governor, are operated by an
eccentric rod. The star wheel takes the placeof many complicated devices common to other makes
of gasoline engine for operating the inlet and outlet valves. The speed can be varied at will with-
out stopping the engine. Its construction is such that its poppet valves are opened and closed in
a straight line, and not by means of a rock arm. Our engines have the largest bearings for valve
stems of any engine on the market. As to its first cost, it is the lowest priced engine on the
market when you measure the dimensions of the working parts. This engine is economical in
the use of fuel, as it takes in only the amount of gas or gasoline that is required to perform the
work, and no more. When the engine is not working to its full capacity, the inlet valve is closed,
and the charge of gas is taken in justin proportion to the work the engine is doing; in other
words, a six horse power, doing three horse power actual work, will use but one-half of the fuel
as when doing six horse power work. Every engine is guaranteed to develop its full horse power
when properly operated. If you are interested, call at our store and we will show you its work-
ing, or will send you a special catalogue on application.

met with such high favor that much comment is un-
necessary. It cannot pass the bumper or trip block
while in operation, and is easily and quickly reversed

steel bushings, making it the easiest running and

Victory Lawn Mower

Victory Lawn Mower—Has ball bearing of the very
highest grade, exact to % of 1-1000 of an inch,
which reduces the friction astonishingly, even
more in a mower than in a bicycle, and renders it
possible to use much wider machines than here-
tofore with parallel bearings. <A 24-inch mower
can now be operated as easily as the old parallel
bearing mower only 16 inches wide; hence mow-
ing the lawn becomes a fascinating pastime, and
the lawn is mown in one-quarter of the time
formerly consumed.

The Victory mower is built without regard to
cost, to be the best, most durable, and easiest
working mower on the market, and while the prices are necessarily a little higher than those
of mowers simply made to sell, yet in the end it will prove much cheaper.

No. 6, Iron Age, Combined Double and Single Wheel
Hoe, Hill and Drill Seeder

Prior to the introduction of our Famous
Combined Wheel Hoes and Seed Drills,
combined tools were regarded by many as
impracticable, owing to the time and
knowledge required to change them one to
the other,to say nothing of the advantages
lost over those of the separate imple-
ments. The simplicity and completeness
of the ‘‘Iron Age”? combined implements
in all their forms, make their use prac-
tical even with the busiest gardeners.
From seed drills these tools can be con-
verted into wheel hoes, either single or
double. It requires but about three min-
utes to change to double wheel hoes, and
. about two minutes to single wheel hoes, by an inexperienced operator. The completeness of this
tool and the universal satisfaction it has given, places it among our list of garden implements.
Combined in this tool are three distinct and thoroughly practicle tools, a hill and drill seeder, a
double wheel hoe, and a single wheel hoe. Price, complete, $11 00.

No. 1, “Iron Age.” Double and Single Wheel Hoe

Among the principal labor-saving tools in the hands of the market gardener must be con-
sidered Wheel Hoes, nay, we may insist that it leads all others, for they are really indispensable.
They have done away with the back-breaking and time killing methods of olden times, one man
performing in a more thorough manner and with greater ease to himself, the labor of several
men. As with all other improved methods of labor it requires a little practice to enable one to
realize the best results with a wheel hoe. We wish to strongly emphasize the really extraordi-

FOOT OF GRAND STREET, TROY, N. Y. 69

nary ease with which the ‘‘Iron Age”’ Wheel Hoe is operated, the lightness and construction of
the tool being such that every ounce of effort goes direct to the work accomplished. Price, No.
1, complete, $6.00; No. 3, plain (with side hoes only), $3.75.

ie Ne, 11° “lronAge” Wheel Plow

Following out the idea of bicycle construction, we also offer a wheel plow constructed in same
manner, and we think we cannot be accused of extravagant language in claiming it to be a little
‘‘beauty.”’ Its graceful shape and exceeding lightness, a2cord well with its ease of opera-
tion and perfection of work; adjustable in depth. It will plow from three to four inches deep
and throw a furrow four to six inches wide. Poultrymen will find this tool to be the easiest,
quickest and most efficient implement for turning under the accumulated filth and droppings in
the poultry yard. Price $2 25.

Missouri Seed Drill

Has force, feed and grain seed Sower,
and a genuine force feed fertilizer attach-
ment, distributing all kinds, as ashes,
plaster, phosphates, ete , without clog-
ging. Itis exceedingly simple, and com-
mends itself at sight. The quantity
sown is regulated by cog wheels, same as
grain sower. No more power required
to propel the fertilizer than the seeder,
consequently the draftof the combined
drillis but a trifle more than the plane
Se ae drill. By means of the lever the gearing

may be thrown in or out while at work,
so that fertilizer may be sown on poor, and shut off on fertile lands in the same field. Also
Force Feed Grass Seeder. Therefore our combined drill is furnished with 7%7ee Positive Force
Feeds, none of which are used by any other drill made. Our machine combines more good points
than any other machine in the market.

absolutely prevent-
ing all loading at this
point, so common in

bars of channel steel
journaled in malle-
able brackets above
the frame, which
gives the teeth high
support and greater
range of adjustment
for depth of cultiva-
tion and clearance.
Teeth with reversible points, which give double wear; teeth raised by levers, so that the har-
row rests upon the frame or runners, making it convenient for transportation. Seventeen
teeth, two sections. Price, $17.50.

Syracuse Wheel Lever Spring Tooth Harrow—The Syracuse wheel tooth harrow has the
following meritorious features: /77st, a frame of channel steel carried at such height from

the ground on high wheels as absolutely to prevent loading. Second, spring steel teeth with-
out bolt holes and adjustable on the frame to wear. Third, broad faced steel wheels and
dirt proof bearings, and so made that by the removal of two bolts, new hubs with removal
boxes can be quickly substituted. The-wheels are so placed that there are no wheel tracks.
Fourth, the entire weight of the driver, together with nearly all that of the harrow, is
carriedon the wheels, which greatly reduces draft. The frame work is independent of the
wheel axle, which is hinged in the centre, and so allows the harrow to conform to uneven
ground. Fifth, Caster steel shoes of angle steel, adjustable to depth, placed in front, which
move always in theline of draft, steadying the running of the harrow, and also prevents it
from working downward when used on side hills or rolling land The harrow is quickly and
easily turned at corners without buckling, making it unequalled for transportation or use
in the field. Seventeen teeth, two sections, price $19.00.
