To Our Customers and Others: 


In presenting our Annual Catalogue and Price List for 1907 we extend to all a sincere and hearty 
New Year’s greeting, and thank those who have favored us with their orders or have said nice things 
about us, for their past kind patronage, and trust we may experience a continuance of the same 
through the coming year. Your kind words have gained uS many new customers, and we are glad 
to see that you appreciate our efforts to furnish the best seeds in the market. We have experienced 
a wonderful increase over previous years in the number of our patrons and will do our best to still 
further merit your appreciation. We spare neither pains nor expense to add to our facilities for 
testing and otherwise handling seeds so that they will prove satisfactory, and avail ourselves of 
every improvement that promises any advantage to the growing of Superior Seeds in all our de- 
partments. 

Our long experience in the West gives us peculiar advantages in the selection of varieties of both 
field, grass and garden seeds which are best adapted to the peculiarities of our Western climate, 
above houses which are in remote localities, and we are to be found always abreast of the times with 
all the latest Novelties which in our judgment and after rigid test prove best for our customers. 

Of first importance are GOOD SEEDS. Good crops can not be produced from poor seeds. Realiz- 
ing this, therefore, we use every effort to secure and furnish only GOOD SEEDS to our customers. 

Commissioned seeds. or those peddled about the cruntry are a doubtful proposition and too risky 
for the Farmer or Gardener to invest in. A fine, thrifty garden with handsome tempting array of 
luxuriant vegetables is a grand sight and a source of just pride to the owner. 

Get only the Best Seeds. We carry cxly the best. Our packets are well filled with fully tested seeds. 


We send out no seeds on commission. Every care taken to have only fresh, reliable and 
genuine seeds- sent out. However, seeds of the best quality often fail through various causes, 
improper planting or weather conditions: therefore The Barteldes Seed Co. give no warranty, ex- 


pressed 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. 


Weights and measures guaranteed and prices as low as those of any other reliable Seed house. 

OCur VWegetabie Seeds—We have spared no pains and cost to procure a stock of fine quality, growing 
most of them ourselves or having them grown for us by the best and most reliable growers in Amer- 
ica and Europe, and feel confident that they will prove satisfactory even to the most critical gar- 
deners. 

Qur Flower Seeds are all fresh, imported from the best houses in Europe. We have a fine and 
selected stock. Try them. 

We carry a large and choice stock of Grass Seeds adapted to the climate of Western States. Orders 
always filled promptly at lowest market price. ; ; : 

We are headquarters for Tree Seeds, and carry a large stock. Nurserymen and parties having tim- 
ber claims can rely on getting their seeds from us, fresh and good. 

Terms of Sale—Cash with order. Remittances may be made at our risk by draft, money order, cash 
by express or in registered letters. We will take 2c postage stamps in any amount. Money orders 
are always safe, and in case of loss quick adjustment can be made. : Q 

Seeds by Mail. We furnish all Garden and Flower Seeds at the prices on the following list, post- 
age paid, except heavy seeds, such as Beans, Peas, Corn, Onion Sets, also Clover, Grain and Grass 
Seeds. For these it will be necessary to add to the remittance lic per quart or eight cents per pound, 
to cover postage. 3 

Safe Arrival Guaranteed.—We guarantee safe arrival of all seeds sent by mail or express, but re- 
quest that correspondents will give us plainly their name, postoffice, county and state, with order. 

To our old customers we are grateful for long continued patronage. From those who have never 
dealt with us we ask a trial order. Respectfully yours,

WHITE MEXICAN SWEET CORN. . 

The WHITE MEXICAN SWEET CORN is 4 to 5 days earlier than Cory 
White Cob and has all the delicious sweetness of the Black Mexican, which 
was known, before the introduction of this new white corn, to be the sweetest 
of all the sweet corns. The ear has 8 rows and is of same size as the black. 
The plant is vigorous and productive and grows from 4 to 4% feet high. It 
is a grand acquisition for the market gardener, as well as for family use, 
and should be tried by all who want the sweetest corn. Pkt., 5c; pt., 15c;

EARLY EVERGREEN. Like Stowell’s Evergreen, only ten days earlier. 
Large ears, about 8 inches long and 12 to 16 rowed and identical in flavor 
with the famous Stowell’s Evergreen. It remains green a remarkably long 
time, the kernels retaining the same sweetness and tenderness so charac- 
teristic of Stowell’s. This new variety is indispensable to the market gar- 
dener as a Succession to the Second earlies. Equally desirable for the home 
garden. Two plantings will cover the entire season. Pkt., 5e; pt, 15c;

Corn—White Mexican. NEW LARGE YELLOW OR GIANT AUSTRALIAN CARROT. 


In this new competitor among Carrots we have a variety which excels — 

all records of even the large Belgian sorts, hitherto the champions among 

Carrots. In size, yield, weight and quality it is ahead of them all. It is reported that a single 

specimen has attained a weight of 15 pounds and an average yield of 50 tons per acre. This variety 

originated at the Australian Experiment Station at Sidney. It is of a beautiful yellow color, which. 

gives to the butter that rich golden hue we all admire. Its enormous yielding characteristics save > 

one-half the cost of harvesting and reduces the cost of seed to a minimum, as it takes only two 
pounds to seed an acre. Price, per pkt 5 5c; oz, 15c; % Ib., 40c; lb., $1.20. - 


THE DAVIS PERFECT CUCUMBER. 


After several years of careful 
selection, Mr. Davis has, at last, 
succeeded in fixing a perfect type 
of Cucumber, ‘combining quality, 
shape, color and producetiveness, 
both for forcing under glass and 
for outside culture. It is slim 
and symmetrical in shape, from 
9 to 12 inches long and of a dark, 
glossy, gréen color, changing to 
white, without a streak of yellow, 
only when nearly ripe. It is such 

_a@ Strong grower that it resists — 
the cucumber disease, sO common 
among the forcing varieties, and 
‘on that account should not be ~ 
planted close, 5 feet apart being — 
‘the proper distance. It is a shy 


seeder, and for that reason is preferable for table use. 
The cucumber that is illustrated shows how small 
the seeds are and how few of them.

KANSAS SUNFLOWER CORN (90 days). This is the 
largest Early Yellow Corn we know of, ears averaging 
one foot in length and about two inches in diameter, weigh- 
ing one pound and upwards. The ears are very uniform 
in size and shape, and of a fine golden color. ft is early, 
maturing for us this year in ninety days, and looks as 
pretty as the Golden Beauty Corn. Stalks grow about 


eight feet high, are very leafy and furnish large quantities ' 5 iy ¥ 4 py ye \ j

“KING AND QUEEN” WINTER 
_ WATER MELON. 


Average weight, 25 pounds. Spherical in shape, 
ivory shell, pink center, seeds black. The most 
luscious, handsome and valuable winter melon in 
the world. It is very hardy, does well in any soil 
which grows melons, never sets an imperfect speci- 


men on its vine, ripens every melon in less than 
120 days, has not yet crossed with any other melon. 


It is a prize taker anywhere. These melons have 
been shipped into this market as late as December. 
Ripens on the vine the third week in August and 
does not change its condition for ninety days if 
not bruised. Shell is as hard as an ege shell and 


the melon ripens to within one-eighth ofan inch

of the melon writes to us as follows: “In placing

Defender Musk Melon. 


A splendid variety. It. is one of the very 
best yellow fieshed sorts and in some respects is 
far superior to any of this class. The fruit is 
medium sized, oval in shape, slightly ribbed, cov- 
ered with gray netting. The flesh is firm, fine 
grained, rich, deep yellow, darker than that of the 
Osage and of higher flavor. The flesh extends to 
the rind and retains its color and quality quite 
to the outer shell which, though thin, is very 
hard and firm, so that one can remove the edible 
portion with a spoon, leaving a rind no thicker 
than that cf an orange. The vine is vigorous and 
very productive. The fruit, because of the hard, 
firm rind, keeps and bears shipment remarkably 
well. We know of no yellow flesh sort so desir- 
able for either the home or market garden. PKt.,

SEARS VA eee OVer the hill, and can be culti- 
vated with much less trouble than 
the old kind and dug as easily as 
the Irish potatoes. The color is 
golden yellow, shape as shown in 
the illustration. Flesh sweet and 
dry when cooked. Enormously 
productive, and keep well in a dry 
place away from frost. - They ma- 
ture one or two weeks earlier 
than the Yellow Jersiés. The 
Vineless is the -best dry weather 
sweet potato in the country. The 
vines grow in a bunch above the 
hill or drop down, covering the 
ground. In this position they af- 
7 ford a thick, mulch right where 
it does the most good. They grow right along during the hottest weather. 
This potato will reduce the labor of producing a crop for the large grower 
and afford a luxury for thousands of families who ecannot grow the old 
varieties, and produce the finest and mest marketable erop of any variety 
in existence. Our supply is rather limited. Pk., 75c; bu., $2.00; bbl., $5.50. 


RADISH, “CRIMSON GIANT.” 


This new Radish is an entirely new type, and differs radically from all 
the varieties hitherto in cultivation, in so far as its roots attain more than 
double the size of those of other forcing varieties, without getting pithy or 
hollow. This giant Radish develops roots of 6 to §& inches in circumference 
and over an ounce in weight, their pure white flesh remaining firm and crisp 
and mildest of flavor, but notwithstanding the extraordinary size and weight 
of its bulbs it is second to none as a forcing variety. It is equally well 
adapted to outside culture. The seed should be sown very thinly to permit 
full development of the roots. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; %4 1b., 30c; lb., $1.00.

Australian Crimson Winter Rhubarb. 
‘queqnyy J9O}UIAA UOSWIID Ueleujsny 


We are indeed pleased to include in our list of tried and most important novelties the New 
Australian Crimson Winter Rhubarb, 2 recent introduction by Luther Burbank of Santa Rosa, Cali- 
fornia, whose name alone carries with it a guarantee of excellence, _ 

This remarkable Rhubarb is described as follows: “Stalks medium size, well grown ones averag- 
ing 12 to 18 inches in length and about ™% to 1 inch in diameter. They are a ety greenish crimson 
color, turning when cooked to a light Clear Crimson, and are of the very best quality. Plants inclined 
to bloom more than any other sorts, but this is easily remedied by topping. Will produce ‘marketable 
stalks abundantly fully six months before any other variety, and for foreing under glass, for a con- 
tinuous home market, and for shipping this grand sort beats them all, and has a great future before 
it.” Grimson Winter is all that can be desired, as it comes in at a time of year when other fruits 
and vegetables are scarce. Our supply is very limited. While it lasts can furnish seed at 15c per 
pkt., 50c per oz., postpaid. Roots of same at 20c each, or three for 50c, postpaid.

 STOKESIA 


The Cornflower or Stokes’ 


CYANEA. 


Aster. 


This is one of the most charming and beauti- 
ful native hardy plants. The plant grows from 
18 to 24 inches high, bearing freely, from early 
July until frost, its handsome lavender-blue Cen- 
taurea like blossoms, each measuring from 4 to 5 
inches across. It is of the easiest culture, suc- 
ceeding in any open sunny position, and is not only 
desirable as a single plant in the mixed hardy 
border, but can be used with fine effect in masses 
or beds of any Size. Like many other native 
plants which are neglected at home, this is grown 
in considerable quantities in Europe to supply the 
demand for blue cut-flowers in the autumn. 

We have no hesitation in saying that Stokesia* 
is one of the most valuable and desirable hardy 
planta erenen. This season we offer seed only.

ful selection from the 
strongest and most vig-

and, for the past 2 yearly 
seems to be _ perfectly 
fixed. An inspection of 
the -growing fields has 
convinced us that it is 
the long wished _ for

the vines and fruits of 
the common strain with 
this new strain we found 
that the melons, hidden

RIBBON CANE. em : 
; 
. 


This is a genuine Ribbon Cane which comes from seed. The superiority of this cane over 
sorghum is so great that when once grown a man never uses any other kind. The grade of 
molasses is superior to that made from sorghum. Another good feature of this cane is the great 
yield it makes. The stalks grow from 12 to 14 feet high. Cut with the foliage on it ‘makes 
the finest silage for cattle and horses. It matures much earlier than any sorghum. The yield of 
molasses is from 300 to 400 gallons per acre, It will grow anywhere that sorghum will grow. In 
planting prepare ground, plant and cultivate as for sorghum. Plant in rows 3% feet apart. Six 
to eight pounds will plant one acre, if planted by hand; eight to ten pounds if planter is used. Lb.,

quantities on application. ; 


NITROGEN CULTURE—NATURE’S GREAT FERTILIZER. 


All leguminous crops, such as Alfalfa, the Clovers, Peas, Beans, Vetch, 
etc., require the presence of small germs on their roots in order to make 
their best growth. These come in the shape of small nodules which draw free 
nitrogen from the air and feed the plant, besides enriching the soil. 

Nitrogen-Culture is absorbent cotton saturated with these germs, then 
dried. The cultures are accompanied with packages of chemical food which, 
when mixed together according to directions, produce vast numbers of these 
little nitrogen fixing bacteria. These sprinkled on the seed before plant- 
ing, will cause the bacteria to form abundant nodules on the roots, causing 
a profuse growth of the crop and adding nitrogen to the soil. 

Little Labor, Time or Expense. The germs do tiie work and if the crop x; 

“is well inoculated will add as much nitrogen to each acre of the soil as 
can be had in twenty dollars worth of the best commercial fertilizer... 

No Longer an Experiment. Nitrogen-Culture has passed the experimental 
stage and is being used successfully in every state of the union and is 
considered by competent authorities to be worth millions.of dollars to the 
farmers of the country. 

What it Will Do. It will enable the seed sown to make a good stand, 
and can be used to make a thin stand thicker; will start a field of sickly 
alfalfa or clover to growing vigorously; makes the inoculated trop big and 
the following crops bigger. 

Don’t fail to get quick returns from... Nitrogen-Culture by inoculating 
your peas, beans, peanuts or Soy beans. 

PRICE LIST: 

Each leguminous crop requires a special bacteria. In ordering name 

the kind of seed you wish to inoculate. Full instructions with every package.

A FEW HINTS ON MAKING A 
_ GARDEN. 


The soil for a vegetable or flower garden should be free from stones or stumps and easily culti- 


vated. Wet land, that cannot be drained, should be avoided, as ail crops suffer more from too much 
water than from drouth. Land which has a gently rolling or undulating surface, with a southern 
exposure, is the most desirable for general gardening operations, since it receives the full sunlight 
and allows the most perfect control of the water that falls upon it. It is not absolutely necessary that 
the exposure should be a southern, as good gardens are grown in any exposure, but a southern exposed 
ground can be worked sooner in the spring and, by so doing, raise 2 crops a year on the same ground. 
A garden should be cultivated often, as cultivation prevents evaporation and so saves the moisture 
in it. Water should not be applied unless the crop is suffering for it. Whenever the garden has been 
irrigated it should be cultivated, as soon as possible, to prevent the soil from baking. The water must 
be applied enough to nicely moisten the land, but avoid getting it water-soaked. The crops should be 
rotated to avoid insect enemies, to deepen the soil, and to use the plant food in the land to best advan- 
tage, since crops vary very much in the amount of the different elements which enter into their com- 


position. Some plants feed largely near the surface, while others take their food mostly from a lower 


level. Root crops should not follow root crops, nor should vines follow vines for many years in suc- 
cession on tne same land. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potash are the most important elements in the 
composition of our cultivated plants, and must be furnished to the ground in a great quantity if good 
crops are expected. 

Rotten stable manure contains the most of them, and must be put on the garden as often as pos- 
sible. Horse manure, being loose and light, ferments very quickly, and, on this account, is better for 
early spring crops or to warm hot-beds, than other manures. 

By the proper cultivation of the garden we accomplish three things: (1) The weeds are kept out 
so they do not shade the young plants, neither take away any plant food or moisture. (2) The surface 
of the soil is brought into best condition to resist drouth and to take in all the moisture from rains. 
(3) The inert plant food in the soil is made soluble by the combined actions of the sun and the air. 

In order to secure a good germination of the seeds, they ought to be sown in mellow soil, and this 
pack around them just firm enough to bring it in good contact. Unless the seed is carefully and prop- 
erly placed and covered, the crop cannot get a good start. Seeds will not sprout in the absence of air 
and, on that account, seeds that are sown too deep fail to come up. 

In planting the garden it is important to put all the perennial crops, or all crops maturing at about 
the same time, together, so as to render the work of cultivating easier. Seeds have to be put in the 
ground at different times in the spring. Some can be sown as soon as the ground can be worked, while 
others, such as beans, corn and all vines, must not go in till danger of frost is passed and the ground is 
warm. 

Most people sow the seeds too deep, and then blame the seeasmen for selling poor seeds, when the 
fault is theirs. All small seeds, like cabbage, lettuce, onion, etc., should not be sown deeper than 4% 
inch, and, in good many cases, when the spring is rather wet, % inch would be better. Beans will do 
best if sown about 2 inches, while sweet corn ought to be covered 1 to 1% inches deep. Peas are the 
only crop that will do well if planted more than 2 inches deep. 

Anyone having a vegetable garden, and wishing to have early crops, ought to make a hot-bed@ to 
start the early plants in the months of February and March, and set them outside as soon. as the 
weather permits. Here are a few suggestions to a beginner, how to make a hot-bed: 

First pile up some fresh horse manure, not taking too much bedding, and wet it thoroughly. In 
two or three days it must be turned over, throwing the outside manure in the center of the new pile 
and breaking up all the lumps. It will have to be turned once more before it is ready to put in the bed. 
Dig a trench 5 feet 8 inches wide by 24 or 30 inches deep and any length desired. In the trench put 
the manure that has already been heated, putting a layer of 6 inches at one time, and then wetting it 
good, and keep putting 6-inch layers and wetting every time till you have two feet of manure, and then 
top it with 6 inches of well pulverized soil. Then make a frame with one or two-inch boards, 12 inches 
wide for the back, and 6 inches for the front, and cover with sash 3 by 6 feet. If you cannot get a 
glass sash, a wooden frame of same dimensions, covered with hot-bed cloth, will be almost as good. 
After the soil is on the manure, the bed will commence to heat up, but will be too hot to sow seeds, 
and it will take about a week before it is safe to sow it. Care should be taken to water the hot-bed 


enough, and ventilate it whenever the weather permits, or the plants. will be liable to be damped off and © 


die. Shutters and mats are used for covering the sash at night to prevent too rapid radiation of the 
heat. Manure stacked against the frame will help to keep the frost out. 

Insects will attack the vegetable garden and some, as the cut worm, are hard to kill off. The only 
sure remedy against the cut worm is to envelop the stem of the plant with a piece of paper projecting 
a couple of inches above the ground and one-half inch in the ground. 

Fleas, on turnip and cabbage, can be destroyed by using either powdered tobacco or Slug-Shot, and 
worms that eat the leaves will be destroyed by spraying the leaves above and underneath with Kero- 
sene Emulsion or Bordeaux Mixture. Kerosene Emulsion is made by mixing thoroughly 15 to 20 per 
cent. of kerosene with 80 to 85 per cent. of clear water. On melon and squash vines 10 to 12 per cent. 
of kerosene is enough or it will burn the leaves, Bordeaux Mixture is made by slacking 4 to 8 pounds 
of quick-lime in one-half bucketful of water, adding 4 ounces of Paris Green and then mixing thor- 
oughly with a barrel of water, into which has been dissolved 4 lbs. of copper sulphate (blue vitriol).

; : ASPARAGUS. 


CULTURE. The seed should be sown in March or April, just 
as soon as the ground can be worked, in good, rich, mellow soil, in 
drilis one foot apart, then covered from % to %4 inch deep. The 
following spring the young plants should be set in their permanent 
places. ‘The soil for them should be made as rich as possible, bear- 
ing in mind that the. beds are to bear a good many years, and that 
it is easier to. work in a good supply .of manure before the plants 
are set than after. Dig a trench two feet deep, mix plenty manure 
with the top soil and fill the trench 14% feet; then lay the plants, 
‘being careful to spread out the roots, from 1% to 2 feet each way, 
and then fill up the trench. Asparagus do best in light, well drained 
soils; they come sooner and send out. more shoots than if. planted 
in stiff, heavy soils. One ounce will produce about 300 plants, and 
it takes about 11000 plants to cover one acre, if planted 2 feet 
each way.

WHITE KLEIN WANZLEBEN SUGAB BEET. 
This variety has proved to be a very valuable sort, 
not only in foreign countries, but as well in Colorado 
and other sections of this country, where it has been 
thoroughly tested. It has a rather long, slender 
root, very rich in sugar, and grows deeply sunk in 
the ground, and it is claimed to yield under average 
conditions about 16 tons to the acre, containing 15 
to 16 per cent. of sugar. 


__GANE’S IMPERIAL SUGAR. This beet will 
yield almost as much in bulk as the best mangels, 
and contains as large percentage of sugar. The roots 
are smooth, broad at the shoulder and gradually 
taper to the base. They grow with a considerable 
portion above the soil and are easily harvested. Light 
green foliage, smooth whitish green skin and crisp, 
snow white flesh. Highly recommended by agricul- 
tural stations as a stock-feeding beet. 


BROCCOLI. 


CULTURE. Sow early in spring. Transplant and cultivate 
the same as cabbage. The Broccoli is a species of cauliflower, 
but more hardy and coarser grained; does best in a cool, moist 
climate. They will produce heads in October and November, and 
should any plant not be forward enough for use before severe 
frosts, let them be removed to a light cellar, where they will 
head during the winter.

CABBAGE. 


CULTURE. For early cabbages sow the seed in a hot bed, in 
March or April, covering the seed from 4 to ™% inch deep and, 
when big enough, transplant to another bed. As soon as the ground 
is in a good condition, transplant, outside, in rows 2 feet apart and 
15 to 18 inches in the row. The soil should be mellow, rich and well 
drained. For late crop the seed can be sowed in a cold frame, or 
even in the open ground, and then transplanted in rows 3 feet one 
way and 2 feet the other, so as to be able to work with a horse and 
cultivator. One ounce of saltpeter dissolved in 3 gallons of water 
sprinkled over the cabbage or cauliflower will destroy the green 


e worm. The liquid, being clear, does not color the cauliflower or 
cabbage heads. Fine air-slaked lime or tobacco dust, sifted on the 
<=z= young plants, as soon as the fleas appear on the ground, will pre- 
=~— vent them from doing any harm. One ounce of seed will produce 


about 2,000 plants. About 16,000 early or 8,000 late cabbages plant 
one acre.

bage and Cauliflower for Profit, by Lupton.

CELERY. 


CULTURE. For early celery the seed is sown in Feb- 
ruary or March, in a hot-bed, in drills 4 to 6 inches apart, 
and covered about 4 of an inch deep. When fairly out 
of seed leaf, they are transplanted in another bed, or can 
be thinned out to 2 or 3 inches in the row and left grow- 
ing till needed to plant outside. In April they are planted 
in the field, in rows, 18 to 20 inches apart, and set 6 inehes 
in the row. In planting press the ground around the 
plants, but be sure not to let the earth get into the heart. 
The soil should be made very rich and the plants will have 
to be earthed up three or four times during their growth. 
The summer varieties, such as Golden Self Blanching and 
White Plume, do not need any more care to bleach, but 
the winter varieties need to be banked up. Celery needs 
more water than other garden crops, and, if allowed to 
suffer from want of water, is liable to get soft. For winter 
use, sow the seed outside in latter part of April or begin- 
ning of May, in beds, and transplant, in the field, in July. 
The rows should be two feet apart, if the roots are to be 
dug out and put in trenches to bleach, or four feet apart 
if wanted to bleach on the same place where grown. When 
cold weather sets in, dig a trench in a high and well 
drained*place, one foot wide and of a depth a few inches 
less than the height of the celery. Set your plants 
closely in it and cover gradually with straw or hay and 
earth, as the weather gets colder. The top of the trench 
. should be sloping to allow water to run off. One ounce 
of seed produces 2,500 plants and it takes about 42,000 
plants to set one acre if rows are 2 feet apart. Get “Celery 
for Profit,” by T. Greiner. Our price is 20c postpaid. 


GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING. The plant is of a beau- 
tiful appearance, of close habit, and compact growth and 
straight, vigorous stalks. The ribs are perfectly solid, 
crisp, brittle, and of delicate flavor, surpassed by no other 
variety, while it has the decided merit of being self- 
blanching ‘to a very remarkable degree. Our stock of this 
variety is selected with special care in France. It is the 
strain for market gardeners, also for family garden. Pkt.,

PINK PLUME. This is identical in all respects, except in coloring, with the popular White Plume; 
the leaf stalks being heavily tinged with red. When properly blanched this fades to qa faint pink tint

WHITE PLUME. This celery is valued because, naturally the stalks and portions of the inner “~ 


leaves and heart are white, by simply tying up the stalks and drawing up the soil with the hoe, the 
work of blanching is completed. It is ornamental, tender, crisp, and of good flavor, and very early.

CULTURE. Sow in hot-beds very early in the spring; 
thin them out as soon as big enough to be handled to 8 or 4 
inches each way, and transplant to 2 or 3 feet apart in very 
rich, warm ground. Do not plant them outside till nights 
are real warm, as the least frost will, if it does not kill 
them, check the growth, and it will take 2 or 3 weeks be- 
fore they get over it. Hoe often and hill up gradually till 
they blossom. One ounce to 1,500 plants.

BARTELDES’ “FRENCH FORCING” LETTUCE. For 
several seasons we have experimented with many strains 
of lettuce to secure a variety that is especially suited 
te growing in hot beds and green houses in winter 
months. We have now secured this French variety 
that we believe suits.our trade better than any variety 
ever yet introduced.’ It is sufficiently curly to be at- 
tractive, yet makes a “reasonably solid head with 
scarcely any outside leaves. [ts solid, upright»shape 
allows of close planting, and Jess.likely of rotting on 
lower leaves. Liberal pkt., 5¢; 0z.; laey 4% I1b., 50e. 

BARTELDES’ DENVER MARKET. It is an early 
variety of Head Lettuce, either for forcing or open 
ground, It forms large, solid heads of a good, light

tender and of excellent flavor. By these blistered leaves 
it distinguishes itself from any other kind of head

MELON—_MUSK. 


CULTURE. The soil for musk meions must be light, rich 
and sandy, as, if grown on a heavy soil, the quality will be 
poor and they will not be so early. When there is no more 
danger of frost drop 8 to 10 seeds in hills, 6 feet apart each 
way, covering about %4 inch deep. As soon as plants com- 
mence to run thin out to 3 best plants in a hill and cultivate 
_till the vines cover the whole ground. If slow to fruit pinch 
off the ends of the growing .shoots. Ash or air-slaked lime, 
sifted on the young plants. while dew is on, is good to keep 
the insects out. One-ounce will plant about 60 -hilis,; and it 
takes 3 pounds to one acre.

MUSHROOM SPAWN. 


CULTURE. Mushrooms can be grown any place where the proper tempera- 
ture, which is from 50 degrees to 63 degrees Fahrenheit, can be maintained, 
and is moist enough, without being very damp or dripping with water. If the 
temperature is below 50 degrees or above 63 degrees, it is not safe to try to 
raise them. Cellars, caves, abandoned mines and even old sheds may be used. 
In growing mushrooms, the beds should be made of stable manure, which has 
been fermented. Obtain fresh horse manure with some of the litter which has 
been well tramped down, and pile in heaps about 3 feet deep when well pressed 
down with the fork, and wet it thoroughly. In 5 or 6 days it! should be turned 
over, mixing the cold and hot manure. In another week a second turning will 
be necessary and, if dry, water again. If well pressed down and merely moist 
there will be no danger of sour fermentaticn. The compost will be ready to 
use in 2 or 3 weeks, according to weather. When water cannot be squeezed out 
from the damp manure, it igs in the right condition to be mixed with one-fourth 
of good loam. Make your beds about 4 feet wide, 18 or 20 inches deep and of 
any length desired. Press down the manure with a fork and let the beds stand : 
for about a week before spawning, as they are too hot. Cut a brick into 12 : 
piec*s, insert them from 1 to 2 inches deep and 8 to 10 inches apart each way. _ Mushroonis. 
Do act sprinkle unless very dry, as too much water will retard germination. In two weeks examine 
the beds and, if the spawn is running (which can be Known by white thread-like fibres seen in the 
manure) it is ready to be cased. Casing consists in applying a layer of pure sand or sandy loam, from 
1 to 1% inches deep, on the surface of the bed. This loam should be carefully screened. Mushrooms 
should appear in 5 to 10 weeks after spawning and a good bed will bear from 3 to 4 months. In pick- 
ing. mushrooms twist them from the soil and fill the holes left with fresh loam. Sprinkle with luke 
water, when real dry, and after mushrooms have been gathered. The main causes of failure are: @) 
Spawning at a too high temperature; (2) the use of too much water; (3) unfavorable temperature dur- 
ing the growing season,

CULTURE. The onion thrives bestinarather 
deep, rich, loamy soil, and, unlike most vegeta- 
bles, succeeds well when cultivated on the same 
ground for successive years, The ground 
should be deeply trenched and manured the 
previous autumn, and laid up in ridges during 
the winter to soften. As early in the spring 
as the ground is in working order commence 
operations by leveling the ground with a rake, 
and tread it firmly; sow thinly in rows, 4 
pounds to the acre, and a quarter of an inch 
deep and one foot apart; cover with fine soil 
and press down with the back of a spade or 
light roller. When the young plants are 
strong enough, thin gradually, so that they 
stand 3 or 4 inches apart. Keep the surface 
of the ground open and free from weeds by 
frequent hoeing, taking care not to stir the 
soil too deeply or collect it about the growing 
bulb. When ripe, pull and dry thoroughiy be- 
fore storing. As maggots are the worst ene- 
mies of an onion patch, commercial fertilizers 
are better to use than manure, which originates 
eS maggots. One ounce to 100 feet of drill; 4 to

Field Peas. 


CULTURE. Field peas deserve more general cultivation. 
They are equal to corn in fattening hogs and are ready to feed 
several weeks earlier. Can be sown with advantage with oats 
or will do well alone. As a land fertilizer they are very bene- 
ficial. For such the crop should be plowed under when they 
begin to bloom. They will grow on most any land. We have 
the Golden vine, which is a white seed, and the Green Can- 
ada, which is green seed.  PkKt., 5c; qt., 10c; % bu., 75e; 1

the time they are full grown, are a delicate, creamy-

RADISH. 


CULTURE. Sow as early in the spring as 
the ground can be worked and every two weeks 
throughout the season, for a succession of crops. 
A warm, sandy loam, made rich and light by 
some good, strong manure, which is thoroughly 
rotted, will be most likely to afford them brittle 
and free from worms. During summer months 
use summer or winter varieties, as the early 
kinds get pithy. Winter radishes can be win- 
tered over as easily as any root crop, and furnish 
an acceptable relish. One ounce to 100 feet of 
drill; 10 pounds to an acre,

RHUBARB. 


CULTURE. Rhubarb succeeds best in deep, somewhat retentive soil. The richer its condition and 
the deeper it is stirred, the better. Sow in drills an inch deep and thin out the plants to 12 inches 
apart. The following spring transplant in place; set the plants from 4 to 5 feet each way. One ounce 
produces from 400 to 500 plants. Book, “Rhubarb Culture,” by J. E. Morse; price, 50c.

SALSIFY OR OYSTER PLANT. — 


CULTURE. The Oyster Plant succeeds best 
in light, well-enriched, mellow soil, which, pre- 
vious to Sowing the seeds, should be stirred to 
the depth of 18 inches, Sow early in the spring, 
in drills 15 inches apart; cover the seeds with 
fine soil 1 inch deep. One ounce for 60 feet of 
drill; 7 pounds to one acre. 

MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND. This new 
salsify recently introduced from the Sandwich 
Islands, grows fully double the size of the com-

gardeners. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c;-% Ib., 40c; Ib., $1.50. 


SPINACH. 


CULTURE. It is one of 
the most easily managed of 
all vegetables, requiring but 
little culture. The main crop 
is sown in September, and it 
is sometimes covered with 
straw in exposed places during 
winter, which prevents it from 
being cut with the frost. For 
summer use it may be sown at 
intervals of 2 or 3 weeks from 
Mareh to August. Spinach is ‘ 
best developed, most tender en eae 5

NEW VICTORIA. The foliage is heavy, the broad, dark leaves being of the true Savoy appearance, 
and are of the finest quality, but the feature that makes it of special value, both for market and family

SQUASH. 


CULTURE. Sow about the middle of spring, in hills, the early sort about 4 feet apart, and the 
late varieties 6 to 8 feet. Drop enough seeds to be thinned to 8 plants in a hill. The hills should be 
highly manured and prepared in a similar manner as those for cucumbers. One ounce to 40 hills for

CULTURE. When the plants are to be raised, the seed should be sown in March, in a hot-bed or 
greenhouse; or they may be sown in a box and kept inside the window of a room where the night tem- 
perature is not less than 65 degrees. The plants should be thinned out in the bed so as to give them 
plenty of room or they will be weak and poor. They should also be hardened before planting outside. 
About the middle of May the plants may be set in the open ground, from 4 to 5 feet apart each way. 
_ Our stock of tomatoes is grown by several of the best growers, and among them Livingston. One ounce 
produces about 1,500 plants. 


To prevent Rot and Blight on tomato plants spray with Bordeaux Mixture, when first fruits havé 
set. If disease appears, repeat, or use a weak Copper Sulphate Solution as often as needed.

abundant fruit. .It begins blooming when 
only “six or seven inches high, attains a 
height of from two and one-half to three 
feet and sets its fruit—a rare habit in any 
tomato—from the first blooms. The fruit 
is of a bright, glossy red color, and is pro- 
duced in clusters of.four to five tomatoes.

tened, ripening clear to the stem, perfeci- 
ly smooth, has very fgw seeds, meat firm 
and thick, has most excellent flavor, is of 
good size, rarely affected by rot. or crack-

GENERAL CULTURE, The soil, for a flower garden, should be made light, porous and rich, by add- 
ing plenty of well rotted manure on light, poor soils, and plenty sand on sticky and heavy ones. It 
should be dug up deep, made very loose and fine by the constant use of the rake, and as level as pos- 
sible, to allow the water to reach every spot without standing on any. Water, laying on top of a newly 
seeded or planted bed, is sure to decay either plants or seeds and, if not quite enough to decay, will, 
under the action of the sun, bake the ground so hard that the small and weak germs, just starting out, 
will be smothered WYider the crust. Most of the flower seeds are so fine that they should be sown on 
top of the loose ground, covered very lightly with fine ground or manure, and pressed down with a-roller 
or the hand. Principal causes of failure in raising flowers are due to too deep sowing or lack of 
water at the proper time. As flower seeds, in general, are sown shallow, light but frequent sprinklings 
are all it ig needed. It is no use to have the water reach 3 or 4 inehes deep when the Seeds are only 4 
of an inch under the surface; the same quantity of water, applied four times, will do more good. The 
main object is to keep the soil around the seeds always moist, as air and moisture are needed to insure 
a good germination, and to prevent the ground from getting a hard crust, 


All the annual flowers, which form the largest class of our summer flowering plants, are sown, in 


this locality, the latter part of April or beginning of May, and the sun then is so hot as to dry the 


ground almost one inch in one day, hence the need of watering twice a day, if you want to be sure of 
a good germination. 

A good way to know how deep to sow flower seeds is to cover the seed from 4 to 8 times its depth, 
using the small figure for the finest seeds. Sweet peas are an exception to the rule and may be planted 
3 or 4 inches deep. Flower seeds cannot be sown all at one time, as some tropical kinds, such as Portu- 
laca (moss-rose) requires a warmer temperature to start growing and must be planted only when the 
ground is real warm. Germination also varies with different kinds, some sprouting in 8 or 10 days, 
while others will stay 3 and 4 weeks in the ground. 


“Flowers are divided into three classes 

1. Annuals—Plants that grow, bloom, raise seeds and die the same year. 

2. Biennials—Wohich generally do not bloom until the second year and then die. 

3. Perennials—Which bloom the second season, but last several years and may be propagated by 
the divisidn of the roots. : 


Annuals are only sown in the spring, but Biennials and Perennials can be Sown in late summer, 
wintered over and, by so doing, gain one year’s time. These two kinds of plants can, on the approach of 
winter, be potted and carried in the house, where they will bloom through the winter. 


With good seeds, and we keep only the best, and following the above directions, there will be no 
trouble in getting a fine garden. 
_ Our flower seeds are put up in fancy packets Showing the colored flower on one side and on the 
back the full directions how to sow and cultivate each kind, 


We have, also, full Cultural Directions, printed on leaflets, for the following flowers, which will be 
sent with each flower order, if asked for: Asters, Amaryllis, Cannas, Carnations, Crocus, Climbing 
Plants (Hardy), Dahlia, Frcocia, Geranium, Gladiolus, Gloxinia, Hyacinth, Iris, Lilies, Japanese Lily, 
Pansy, Roses, Sweet Peas, Tuberoses, Tuberous Begonia.

Early Annual. The glorious and showy autumn-blooming Chrysanthe- 
mums, which are now so much admired and cultivated. have their rela- 
tives among the summer annuals which are easily raised from seed. The 
plants can be raised by sowing the seed early in the-house or frame and 
planting them out when the weather is favorable, or the seeds can be 
sown in an open seed-bed, or where the plants are to stand, provided the 
plants are thinned out to 8 or 12 inches apart. A little shade, or shade in 
the after part of the day, is desirable for them—a border on the east or 
northeast Side of the house would be desirable. Pinch them back until 
July 15 to make them grow branching and full. Mixed, packet, 5c

COSMOS. 

Are unquestionably very handsome flowers, and it is 
astonishing how quickly they have become general favor- 
ites. Only a few years ago they were practically unknown. 
There is but one objection to their giving general satisfac- 
tion, and that is their late flowering habit. The plants 
require a very long time to develop, and that brings their 
flowering season late in the fall. This objection will not 
be found in our “early flowering” strain. Seed sown in the 
open ground in the beginning of May will produce bloom- 
ing plants in August, and they will continue to flower late 
in the fall. We know of no single flower that is as hand- 
some and chaste ag the Cosmos, while for keeping qualities

CULTURE. Sweet Pea 
delights in a soil inclined 
to be clayey, and, as the 
slittle beauty is-a gross 
4feeder, a good supply of 
well - rotted manure 
should be mixed with 
the ground. Fall is the 
best season to prepare 
the soil. A good.» many 
j failures have been made 
Yu by manuring in the 
ee spring, for the reason 

a? i) Uf ‘ that all pea vines like a 
SS S His MWA MLE i ie 3 yf ) moist ground, and the 
; ; SNS JNO. = aa ~~! heat originated by the 
manure combined with 
cue the heat from the sun 
is too much for the young vines, which 
- turn yellow and die. The best season to 
-SOw the seed is ag soon in the spring as 
the ground can be worked. Late sowing 
produces rank growth but few flowers. 
Dig a trench 1 foot deep by 16 or 18 
inches wide and mix in it 6 inches of 
top soil with old manure. In this plant 
your seeds in 2 rows and drop one pea 
every inch or two; then cover with 2 
inches of soil, gradually filling the 
trench as they grow. One side has to be 
: a little lower to allow surplus water to 
drain off. Flowers must. be picked off every day if you 
want them to bloom all through the summer, Bone dust 
and nitrate of soda will hasten the time of flowering.

Peas seed. Our growers give special attention to selecting

ing, and have been selected as being the choicest 
in Several hundred varieties. Guaranteed first size: 

CALLA. An old and very desirable plant, 
either as an aquatic or for ornamentation of the 
drawing recom and conservatory. Thrives in any 
light, rich soil when plentifully watered. Hach, 
20c; dozen, $1.80. : 

EYACINTH. Were we asked to name the most 
beautiful bulbous flower for fall growing, either 
for house culture or for outdoor planting, we would 
certainly recommend the Hyacinth. It is not only 
extremely beautiful, but can be grown by even the 
most inexperienced in bulb culture. It blooms 
early in the season, remains a long time in flower, 
and ranges through so many shades of rich and 
delicate colors that all tastes can be suited. AIso 
they have a delightful fragrance which is sufficient 
in itself to make it a general favorite.

TULIPS. The tulip, for its gorgeous colors, its 
pretty cup-like shape and its early flowering, is one 
of the oldest spring favorites planted in beds or 
borders, it is unrivaled by brilliant effect. As with 
most flowers, single varieties succeed better than 
double when forced; for this purpose they should 
be planted as early as possible. 

Single Tulips, mixed colors, each, 5c; doz., 40c. 

Double Tulips, mixed colors, each, 5c; doz., 40c. 

CROCUS. ‘This is one of the first of the bulb- 
ous plants to show its head above the ground in 
the early spring; in fact they are called the “Har- 
bingers of sprifig.”’ They are perfectly hardy and 
can be left in the ground for several years without 
being disturbed, this being the best mode of treat- 
ment, 

Crocus, mixed colors, each, 3c; doz., 25c. 

AMARBRYLLIIS JOHNSONII. The immense trum- 
pet-shaped flowers measure six to eight inches 
across, are borne on strong, fleshy flower spikes, 
and are of a rich, deep, velvety crimson, each petal 
having a broad white stripe, contrasting beauti- 
fully with the deep red color. For winter blooming 
this is one of the grandest bulbs for house culture, 


They are so easily grown that the most inex- 
perienced in bulb culture can handle them, in fact 
they infrequently bloom without ever having been 
planted in soil or water. 

Larve Bulbs, each, 50c; doz., $5. 

BERMUDA EASTER LILY. A bed of Lilies 
is a “Joy Forever,’ and there is no plant that will

for all. Fach. 20cr doz., $2.00.

Select Roses. 


Best Adapted to Our 
Western Country. 


MAKE YOUR HOMES MORE BEAUTIFUL 


‘And give pleasure to your families by a liberal selection from our up-to-date list of 
‘Roses and Climbing Plants. Our connection with a leading eastern house enables us 
to furnish them at very low prices by mail, prepaid to your homes. 

p Orders for Same will be filled separately from Seed or other orders and will be 
shipped in season after about April 15. : : 


All Roses are strong, thrifty, well established stock from 24-inch pots. 


CULTURE. The Rose, rightly called the Queen of Flowers, being a very heavy 
feeder, Should be planted in soil made as rich as possible and not too wet. Before 
planting incorporate in the soil, when digging the hole, a shovelful of well-rotted 
manure and set your plant about one inch deeper than originally planted, spreading 
the roots and pressing the ground firmly around them. Plant the bedding kinds about 
1144 feet apart, while the climbers are set from 3 to 4 feet apart. The best time to 
plant them is in April.and May. During. summer the ground must be cultivated 
to keep it free from weeds and to prevent it. from baking. In the fall, after the 
leaves have fallen off, the plants should be trimmed back to one-half of the season’s 
growth, tied together and dirt heaped around them. A good dressing of old manure 
or bone meal will insure a big» yield of flowers the next year. To prevent and destroy 

the rose chafer and rose slug, sprinkle the bushes, as soon as leaves are forming and 
once a week after with a solution of Paris green and water; one pound Paris green to 100 gallons. 
Mildew can be checked by dusting sulphur on the leaves every two or three days, and green fly will 
soon disappear if tobacco dust is scattered on and under the Ieaves. The plants should be sprinkled 
thoroughly before applying powdered insecticides. =

ALFALFA CLOVER 
OR LUCERNE. The most 
valuable forage plant, is 
particularly adapted for 
our western climate and 
soil. It requires a deep, 
mellow soil; newly broken 
sod does not do so well. It 
thrives best on a sandy 
loam, the richer the better, 
while it has not proved a 
Success on heavy, compact 
clay soil. In the driest and 
most sultry weather when 
every blade of grass with- 
ers, Alfalfa is as fresh and 
green aS in the spring, as 
its roots go down from 10 
ss to 20 feet to the moisture 
CEA ee SS of the ground. Although a 

Alfalfa. prodigious yielder, it does 
not exhaust. the soil, but rather improves the 
ground by the decay of its long roots, and converts 
it into rich ground, full of vegetable matter. ‘The 
seed may be sown early in the spring, as soon as 
the frost is out of the ground, in order to catch the 
spring rains, as it needs moisture to germinate. In 
localities where irrigation is used, it can be sown 
suceessfully at any time during the Summer 
months. Most of our successful Alfalfa growers 
prefer sowing the seed broadcast, while others are 
more in favor of drilling it in. It is more difficult 
to establish the first year, but will, when once 
started, produce a profitable crop; under favorable 
circumstances three and even four crops are cut 
yearly, aggregating five to seven tons to the aere. 
Never sow less than 25 pounds of’ good, clean seed 
to the acre, aS thin sowing produces thick and 
coarse stalks not relished by stock. If intended to 
raise Alfalfa for the seed, 12 to 15 pounds is plenty 
to sow on an acre, It is worthy of trial in any 
locality where it has not already been tested. Lb., 
20c.. Ask for latest prices when quantity is wanted. 


OUR ALFALFA SEED IS KANSAS GROWN. 


BUR CLOVER. Is mainly used in the southern 
states and California. It fills in the season when 
other forage plants have become dried up by the 
summer heat. Stock of all kinds feed on the burs, 
which contain a large proportion of nutritious 
matter. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per acre in August, Sep- 
tember or October. Price per 1b., 20c. 


ALSIKE OR SWEDISH CLOVER. Comes 
from the little Province of Alsike in Sweden. One 
of the hardiest varieties known; is perpetual and 
does not winter kill; stands’ alike drouth or wet. 
A great favorite with bee-keepers, as it has flowers 


having a sweet and agreeable odor and affords 
excellent forage for bees. Sow 5 to § lbs. to the

In making a lawn great care should be taken to-use only the very best 
quality of suitable lawn seed so as to produce a soft, velvety. evergreen sod. > 

HOW TO MAKE A LAWN. 

The ground should be spaded deeply and thoroughly, and a good compost of decomposed and finely 

loam spread over the ground. 


Ziving general satisfaction. 


pulverized manure or rich 


bone dust. Then use a slanted tooth harrow and a light or medium roller until the soil is smooth, 
even and firm. Then sow the seed and harrow again and smooth off with a common garden rake. 
When the grass has grown 2 or 3 inches in height, use the lawn mower gauged to cut full 1 inch © 
above the ground; repeat the same as often as it grows to that height. The weeds and, foul grass ~ 


can be kept down and destroyed by the repeated mowing. 
take possession of the soil, but being constantly clipped, the leaf and seed stalks are destroyed and the) 


foul vegetation disappears.

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. The Great Amer- 
ican Grass, The Standard for Lawns. Our “Colum- 
bine” Grade is the Purest Obtainable. The old stan- 
dard grass for pasture as well as lawns. Every 
farmer knows it and its good qualities. An old “Blue 
Grass Farmer,” of central Kentueky, says about it: 
“Whoever has limestone land has Blue Grass; who- 
ever has Blue Glass has the basis of agricultural 
presperity, and that man, if he has not the finest 
horses and cattle has no one to blame but himself. 
He can hardly avoid doing well if he tries.” Sow 
about 25 to 30 pounds to the acre for meadows, for 

lawns 65 to 80 pounds per acre. Per Ib., 20c.

BERMUDA GRASS. This plant has long been 
_ naturalized in the southern states. While it is ten- 
der to freezing, it resists dry, hot weather and con- 
sequently is a valuable grass to grow over and 
bind the most arid and loose lands, and grows lux- 
uriantly in every kind of soil; very valuable for 
pasture, as well as for hay crop; time of sowing,

superior to all other grasses. 
It stands the drouth, grows 
well in the shade, does well 
in* wet or poor ground, and 
is splendid to prevent worn-

. PERENNIAL ENGLISH RYE GRASS. While 
this has long been highly esteemed in Europe and 
Australia, it has but recently been recognized by 
our western ranchers. It is worthy-of all the 
praise given. AS a pasture grass it grows quick 
and withstands drouth reasonably well. We have 
reports of its success in the extreme north and 
far south as Mexico City. In the far west, also in 
Old Mexico, it is used extensively for lawns. Our 
new crop seed is carefuliy cleaned and may be 
depended on. For ‘pasture sow in spring 25 to 30

Red TOP. A valuable grass for moist soils. It 
is a good, permanent grass, standing our climate 
as well as any other. and consequently well adapted 
to our pastures, in which it should be fed close, for 
if allowed to grow up to seed, the cattle refuse it. 
On moist, rich soil it will grow 2 feet, and on poor 
gravelly soil, about half that height. It has been 
grown successfully even on “alkali” bottom lands, 
where other grasses failed. We have discontinued 
handling the chaffy grade of Red Top, and now 
offer only the clean seed. Sow 15 to 20-pounds 
clean seed to the acre. Lb., 20c.

TIMOTHY. <As a crop for hay, Timothy is 
probably unsurpassed by any other grass. It is 
greatly relished by all kinds of stock, especially 
horses: yields more nutritive matter than any other 
grass or forage plant. Being an early grass it is 
well adapted to spring and summer grazing and if 
the fall season is favorable it will grow sufficiently 
to furnish good fall grazing, too. Sow 10 to 12 
pounds to the acre. Lb., 10c. 


TALL MEADOW OAT OR EVERGREEN 
GRASS. The roots of this grass deScend deeply 
into the sub-soil, enabling it to withstand a pro- 
tracted drouth, and it is green all seasons of the 
year. Its early growth in spring makes it equal 
to rye for pasture. It grows quickly after mowing, 
giving a denser and more succulent aftermath than 
any of the present popular tame grasses. Sow 
broadcast 25 to 30 pounds of seed to the acre, Lb., 
20¢e. 

ITALIAN RYE GRASS. Surpasses the Per- 
ennial Rye Grasses in earliness, nutrition and rapid 
growth. Indispensable for alternating. Lasts only 
two years and of no use for permanent pastures. 
Particular as to soil, a soil moist, tenacious, fertile, 
and of a medium consistency being considered best. 
On such it is considered one of the best grasses 
cut green. Sow 30 to 40 lbs. to the acre. Per I1hb.,

fed to cows and fine quality of flesh from cattle 
and sheep. Grows well on poor, sandy land. Pre- 
pare soil same as for clover. It 1s in best condition 
for pasture four to six weeks after sowing. Can 
be sown every month from March until August. 
Sow 15 lbs, to the acre. Per lb., 15c. 

. WILD RICE (Zizania Aquatica.) For Plan 

in Ponds. An annual which sows itself in the fall, 
about the middle of September, lies dormant all 
winter, and in the spring commences to sprout as 
soon as the water gets warm, reaching the surface 
about the first of June. It grows very rapidly in 1 
to 4 feet of water, reaches a height of 7 to 10 feet 
and ripens late in August or early in September. 
It should be planted early in the fall before the 
seed gets dry, as it is hard to germinate, and be- 
fore the ice forms, broadcast from a boat, in 1 to 3 
feet of water having a mud-bottom. It has been 
successfully planted through the ice in winter and 
in the spring, but it succeeds best when planted 
in the fall. If the water is over 4 feet deep, or if 
it is stagnant, it does not do as well as when the 
water is moving gently. As an attraction for wild 
fowl it cannot be equaled, and it is largely used 
on private shooting grounds to attract water fowls. 
In large ponds and lakes it purifies:the water, af- 
fords a refuge for the small fry from the large fish, 


as well as furnishing the small fry with plenty” 


of food from the animalculae upon the stalks; for 
planting in fish ponds it is equally desirable. It 
also does well along the shores of marshes, and 
makes a good hay. In the South two crops can be 
eut, and all cattle are very fond of it. If the 
seed has to be kept over it must be put under a 
few inches of water which, if not frozen, will have 
4 oe changed once in a while. Lb. 25c; 5 Ibs., 


Postage, 8c a pound extra. 


GERMAN MILLET. No other grass or forage 
plant has been able to produce the enormous yield 
of this plant. It has produced 4 to 5 tons of hay to 
the acre, and from 70 to 80 bushels of seed. It is 
sown in the spring on newly broken prairie, and 
after harvesting it leaves the ground in the finest 
condition for wheat. Sow 25 to 40 pounds -tto the

COMMON MILLET. It is an annual grass, 
with tender, juicy and luxuriant leaves, much rel- 
ished by all kinds of stock; makes good hay. Sow 
25 to 40 pounds to the acre. Lb., 5c. 

MANITOBA or HOG MILLET. The seed is 
very rich and thus especially valuable as a hog 
food, A very much prized peculiarity of this millet 
is that the seed ripens while the stem is yet green, 
thus if cut promptly can be threshed for the seed, 
while the hay after being threshed will make excel- 
lent fodder. Sow same as other millet. Lb., 5c. 


NEW SIBERIAN or RUS- 
SIAN MILLET. Is claimed 
to be the most wonderfully 
productive and satisfactory 
forage plant, possessing in 
a superior degree, all the 
essential merits of any of 
the older sorts—exceeding 
them by far—besides many 
other points of excellence 
that distinguish it and ren- 
der it a most valuable addi- 
tion to the list of forages, 
and, if the claims are well 
founded, destine it to take 
front rank, and if not lead 
all the rest. The claims made 
by its introducers are that 
it is from two to. three 
weeks earlier than the Ger- 
man Millet, is a much heay- 
ier cropper, that the hay is 
much finer, stalks more 
elastic and growing much 
taller, that it is rust proof, 
and chinch bugs do not rel-

JAPANESE MILLET. Or “Billion Dollar 
Grass,’ as it is sometimes called, is of recent in- 
troduction, and great claims are made for it as to 
productiveness and value as a forage plant. Its in- 
troducers say of it that it is a marvelous grower 
and luxuriant stooler, and Prof. Brooks, of the 
Massachusetts Experiment Station is quoted as say- 
ing: “At our station it produced 60 bushels of seed, 
11,297 pounds of straw, 36,000 pounds of green fod- 
der, 12,000 pounds of hay per acre, being superior 
to good corn fodder in feeding for milk, and in 
combination with the soja bean makes a very su- 
perior ensilage. Recommended highly for feeding 
dairy cattle, young stock and sheep, being very 
rich in nutritfous elements. If sown latter part of 
April will be ready to cut for hay by middle of 
July. Attains a height. of from 5 to 7% feet, ac- 
cording to season.” Coming with such high recom- 
mendations we feel it worthy of trial; however, we 
cannot encourage it in the far north. Lb., 10¢e. 


HUNGARIAN MILLET. 
Millet very much. It is of fine growth, and makes 
an excellent hay. It has numerous succulent leaves, 
which furnish an abundance of green fodder, taken 
by all kinds of stock. Sow 25 to 30 pounds to the 
acre, Lb., 5c. 

LUPINS. When young the plants are good for 
sheep. Yellow Lupins remaining green longer than 
the white. One of the best plants for soiling. May 
be sown from April till July, and succeeds well in 
the poorest soil. Lb., 10c. 


TEOSINTE. Recommended as the most prolific 
forage plant yet introduced. The stalk, containing 
much saccharine matter, is very nutritious. It can 
be cut several times during the season, yielding 
enormously. One seed will sometimes produce 20 
to 60 stalks or shoots, and the warmer the climate 
the better it yields. Should not be planted until 
the soil is perfectly warm in the spring. Requires 
about 4 pounds seed per acre, Plant in drills 3 feet 
te. Mae 2 or 3 seeds every 12 inches in drill.

AUSTRALIAN SALT BUSH (The Forage Plant for Arid and Alkali Soils). This new plant comes 
to us from California, where it has been tested and experimented with to a large extent. The agricul- 
tural department of the California State University states as follows: ‘Importing, testing and demon- 
Strating the value of Salt Bush has been accomplished by this department at much: expense, com- 
bined with both care and labor. Lands that hitherto have laid barren and worthless have been ren- 
dered productive and valuable. It can scareely be conceived that alkali soils, coated with their salts, as 
covered by snow, can be changed in their appearance or constituents, yet such is being accomplished 
most satisfactorily and with little expense by the use of Salt Bush. Already thousands of acres of arid 
and alkali lands have been reclaimed by seeding it to this valuable plant. The transformation has seem- 
ingly something of the miraculous about it.” 

Directions—Sow 1 lb. of seed to an acre in the spring 
before a rain if possible, or irrigate well on well pulverized 
soil and cover it lightly (about one-eighth of an inch) with 
a light harrow or brush, or the plantS may be grown in 
boxes or garden bed covering the seeds lightly, and planting 
the seedlings where desired, when from 2 to 8 inches high, 
6 or 7 feet apart. If the weather is dry when transplanting, 
supply a little water to each plant.

All the following species of corn bear dry weather well. 
When common corn will wholly fail for want of rain at a 
certain stage these plants simply stop and wait for rain, and 
then go on and make their full crop. In weight of grain they 
will make more per acre than the same land will make of 
corn. Some mills have been grinding the grain for flour with 
good success. In the way of dry forage they make enormous 
returns, at a cost less than the cost of gathéring alone of 
eorn fodder. Their’ cultivation is as simple as that of corn. 
They will grow on any land where corn will, even on land 
too poor for corn. As soon as the seed begins to glaze, com- 
mence to cut and shock. Make the shocks 16 rows wide, and 
the same distance in length. Balance it well for the seed is 
so heavy that it will go down easily. After it is well cured, 
stack it or house it as you would ordinary corn fodder, or let 
it stand in the field until wanted for use. Prepare a rack in 
the feed lot and feed as hay. It is not necessary to thresh it. 
If it is desirable to separate the feed from the fodder, run the 
stalks through a threshing machine after removing all but 
one row of concave teeth. The grain will come out as clean 
as wheat and the fodder threshed. 

JERUSALEM CORN. It is pronounced the best and sur- 
est grain crop for dry countries and seasons, even better than 
Kaffir Corn, Dourrha and Milo Maize It grows about 3 feet 
high, makes one large head on main stalk and several smaller 
heads on side shoots; have seen as high as 8 heads on one 
stalk. The grains are pure white and nearly flat. Three 
pounds will plant one acre. Lb., 10c; 100 lbs., $4.00.

: by the Kansas Agricultural College at Manhattan, Lb., 5c; 
100 Ibs., $2.00. - 


WHITE KAFFIR CORN. It grows from 4 to 5 feet high, 
making a straight upright growth, It has-a stalky stem, with 
enormous wide leaves. The stalks keep green and are brittle 
and juicy, not hardening like other varieties of sorghum, 
making excellent fodder, either green or dried, which is 
highly relished by cattle and horses. The seed heads form at 
the top of each stalk, and as soon as these show the grain 
well, the joints next below the top send up shoots which yield 
the second seed heads. “For the grain sow_in rows 3 feet 
apart, 3 to 5 pounds of seed to the acre. For fodder sow one- 
half se one bushel, either broadcast or in drills. Lhb., 5e; 100 
lbs., $1.50. 


~ BROWN DOUREBHA. Similar to the Jerusalem Corn. 
Grain Same size and shape, but of brown color, instead of 
white, as the Jerusalem Corn. It withstands dry weather 
better than Kaffir Corn and Milo Maize and is a sure cropper 
every year. Raised more for the grain than for fodder. 
Yields immensely . Three to five penis will plant an acre. = =

LARGE AFRICAN MILLET. Stalks 8 to 10 feet high, heads of grain. 12 to 15 inches long. This 
variety makes the most forage per acre. Plant 3 to 5 Ibs. per acre. Lb., 10c.; per 100, $5.00. 


BROOM COEN. 

There are many farmers who make this a most profitable erop. One acre will; produce about 500 cwt. 
of brush and nearly 40 bushels of seed, which is equal in value almost to oats for feed. Requires soil 
similar to corn, same cultivation, but should be planted some later in the season. Put ground in prime 
condition. We think that more of our western farmers should grow Broom Corn for market. It is profit- 
able. Frequently planted in drills 34% feet apart, leaving plants 6 inches apart; 10 to 20 lbs. to an acre. 


} EXTRA EARLY JAPANESE BROOM CORN. This is the earliest broom corn in existence, matures 
in about 75 days when planted late. Have seen some that was planted on July 17, and ready to cut 
October 1. Can be planted after wheat with good suceess, thus making two creps on the same ground. It 
is just the kind for the early market. It has withstood dry weather better than any. other. variety. 
Brush is fine and long. Lb., 5c. 

IMPROVED EVERGREEN BROOM CORN. This Broom Corn grows about 8 to 10 feet high, stands 
up well, and is entirely free from crooked brush. The fiber is long and fine. Its great value is ‘that, it

JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT. A new variety that has been raised here with good results. Early 
and very productive, with kernels twice the size of any other buckwheat, of a rich, dark-brown color 
and makes a superior fiour. As it possesses a branching habit, only half as much seed is required to 
‘plant an acre. Straw is very stiff and stands up well. Lhb., 5c. 

FLAX SEED. Largely grown in this state for seed. Sow one-half to three-fourth bushel to the 
acre. Can furnish choice, recleaned seed at any time at market prices.

MAMMOTH RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER. Single heads measure 15 to 22 inches in diameter, and con- 
tain an immense amount of seed, which is highly valued by all farmers and poultry-breeders who have 
tried it as an excellent and cheap food for fowls. It is the best egg producing food known for poul- 
try. It can be raised cheaper than corn, and is destined to be an article of great value... Every farmer 
should plant some of the seed in any waste piece of ground any time from early spring up to the middle 
of July. It is a wonderful improvement on the old native Sunflower, and besides the great value of the 
seed as poultry and stock food, its leaves making capital fodder, while its strong, thick stalks can be 

profitably used as fuel. Three pounds of seed will plant one acre. Lb., 10c.

WHITE NAVY. ‘The standard white bean, of medium size. Plant in drills, so as to cultivate with 
a horse; 25 to 30 lbs. enough for an acre. Lb., 5e. See market price for quantity. 

MEDIUM FIELD BEANS. Same as Navy Beans; only difference is that size of bean is larger. Lb., 5c. 

SOY BEANS. They are erect growing, with from one to six or more stems branching out from 
near the ground and reaching a height of from one and a half to three and a half feet; seldom falling 
down, except in very rich, loose land. The branches are thickly studded with pods from the surface 
of the ground to the top; a single plant having sometimes aS many as 200 pods containing from one 
to four beans, the usual number being three. The Soy Bean is a remarkable drouth resister, and 
will do ecomparatively well on thin land. However, they respond very readily to plenty of moisture. 
and good soil. Planting should not be done until the weather is warm—after corn planting. They 
will make a fair crop after rye or wheat if the season is favorable. The ground should be well pre- 
pared and the beans planted near the surface... They may be cultivated as other crops; keeping the 
soil in good shape and the weeds down is all that is required. Soy Bean as feed takes the place of oil 
or gluten meal. Feeding them to milch cows, fattening cows- or hogs they have given astonishing 
results. When the beans are let thoroughly ripen in the field the straw is worthless, but if cut and 
cured. while green make excellent hay. Make excellent hog pasture and are a good erop for soiling.’ 
If sown broadeast use one-half to one bushel per acre; if drilled, use one-fourth to ene-half bushel per 
aere. We have the early Yellow and the late Mammoth; this last variety, however, hardly ever 
matures here, but is all right for the southern states. Early Yellow Soy Beans, ib.,; 5c; pk., 80c; bu., 
$3.00. Late Mammoth Soy Beans, lb., 5c; pk, 80c; bu., $3.00. 

CASTOR BEANS. Are largely grown in our State and have paid well the last few years. Will do 
well on any good corn land. One bushel plants fifteen acres. Lb., 5e. 


COW PEAS. 


This is not exactly a pea, but more properly belongs to the bean family. It is becoming known 
in the north, also, as a highly valuable fodder and fertilizing crop. It requires a full season to 
mature. If desired the pods may be harvested for the grain, and the plants plowed under to fertilize 
the soil. The seed or grain is ground and used for cattle feed; the stalk and leaves also make excel- 
lent fodder, fed green. Poor, sandy land may be greatly improved by plowing under a crop of Cow 
Peas, and thus made into a fertile loam. Plant in a thoroughly pulverized soil. If wanted to plow 
under for manure, sow with a grain drill in drills afoot apart. If grown for fodder-or the seed, plant 
3% feet apart and cultivate thoroughly. The seed must not be sown until the soil has become thor- 
oughly warm. Sow from % bushel to 1% bushels per acre. Whip-Poor-Will. Lb., 5c; pk., 60c; bu., $2.00.

PEANUT. The peanut thrives and produces 
best on a light, sandy, fertile soil with a good clay 
subsoil. It possesses a long tap root, which extends 
deep into the earth, drawing thence the nutriment 
). which is beyond the reach of many of our. culti- 
ag een vated crops. . 
! Ny 


The soil should be deep and mellow, and well 
broken up, so.as to be ready for planting soon after 
frosts are over—April is a suitable time. They may 
be planted in the pod, or shelled, two in a hill; it 
is best to drop about 4 in a hill on the level ground, 
the rows being laid off 3%, feet wide, and the hills 
2 feet apart; cover them 2 or 3 inches deep. When 
they come up thin them to 2 in a hill and if there 
be any vacancies, transplant. It is better to plant 
them level than in ridges, as they are less liable 
to suffer from drouth. The plant is an annual, of 
a trailing habit, with yellow, pea-sShaped flowers 
produced in bunches of 5 and 7, close to or even 
under ground. Lb., 15c. 


SPANISH PEANUTS. The earliest _variety 
grown, pods are small, but remarkably solid and 
well filled, and the yield per acre very large; can 
be cultivated with the plow. Because of their early 
habit and easy cultivation it is the best variety to 
grow for fattening hogs. lUb., 15c. 


SANDVETCH (Winter Vetch). Another forage 
plant from Europe. highly esteemed there. The 
Sandvetch prospers in the most barren soils, on

SPELTZ or EMMER. 

A grain for dry lands, introduced from Russia. 
This is a remarkable grain, and should receive the 
attention of all farmers, It is a species of drouth- 
resisting barley, and not inclined to rust. It will 
produce a fair crop under almost any condition of 
climate, but grows best in dry prairie regions with 
hot summers, giving excellent results. Thrives on 
poor land in stony ground. The Experiment Sta- 
tions of both the Dakotas report that it resists 
drouth better than oats or barley. All animals eat 
it green greedily and are fond of the straw. It will 
undoubtedly become a regular and valuable crop 
for stock feed. Sow 70 to 80 lbs. per acre very 
early, same as barley or oats. Our seed is Kansas 
grown—acclimated. Peck, 25c; bu., 40 Ibs., 75c. 

: BARLEY. 

Sow 60 to 90 pounds per acre. 

It is an unquestionable fact that Kansas pro- 
duces Barley much brighter in color than countries 
having much rain. 

Siz-Rowed Barley. This barley succeeds best 
on lands more sandy and lighter than those 
adapced to wheat. It is sown in the spring, and 
can be grown farther north than any other grain. 
Sow from two to two and one-half bushels per 
acre, , Bills) 1c. 

Mansury Barley. <A_ six-rowed barley, with 
long, heavy, well-filled heads, containing large, 
plump grains. Straw bright, very strong, and is 
not apt to lodge, even on the richest lands. Ripens 
about a week or ten days later than the common 
six-rowed barley, or about the same time as the 
two-rowed barley. Bu., 90c. 

Champion Beardless Barley. 
less barley, earliest barley known, about ten 
days earlier than other kinds. A good yielder, six- 
rowed and strictly beardless, it can be handled as 
easily as oats. Our supply of this variety very

best Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska or Illinois corn as a 
fattener, and it is surer than most all crops. The 
yield the past season was fifty bushels per acre.

The growing of § forest 
trees from Seeds is, in the case 
of some varieties, a very sim- 
ple and easy process, requiring 
but little care or skill on the 
part of the grower. Othe: va- 
rieties require special treat- 
ment and greater care and at- 
f tention to insure success, while 
Sag SOME are very difficult to grow, 
mand with such, planters are 
not very likely to succeed until 
after having made repeated 
eatailures. 

One important fact in con- 
nection with this subject maust 
Rmialways be kept in view; and 
that is, it takes time for these 
to germinate, in some cases 
only a few days;-in others, sev- 
eral weeks; while quite fre- 
quently they will lie dormant 
the whole season before com- 
Zamencing to grow. It» ofter 
F happens that seeds of a given 
variety, all taken from the 
tree at one time, sowed to- 
gether, and subjected to the 
same treatment, will show 
Z : = = 2 great irregularity in time of 
: ie 33 germinating; some coming up 
in a few days, others not until the next season, and still others not until the season following. 

Conifers and Evergreen tree seeds should be kept in perfectly dry sand until the time of sowing; if 
this cannot be done readily, place them in a cool, dry spot where mice will not eat them. Chestnuts and 
Walnuts should be planted in the fall, or kept during the winter in sand or moss; they shrivel up by too 
long exposure to the air, and many of them lose their power of vegetating entirely. Apple, Pear and 
Quince Seed, Cherry Pits, Peach Pits, also those with hard shelis like the Locust, Magnolias, etc., 
should be placed inboxes with sand and exposure to frost before planting, otherwise they may not 
vegetate until a second year after planting, but if these seeds arrive too late in the spring to expose 
them to the action of the frost, they may be put into a vessel of hot water for an hour or so before 
planting. The seeds of other deciduous trees and shrubs, with few exceptions, can be planted from the 
end of March to the middle of May with great success. 

The soil should be deep, mellow and rich, if not so, make it so by deep spading and thoroughly pul- 
verizing the ground. [If not rich, apply a good liberal dressing of any old well-decomposed manure; 
' mix thoroughly with the soil and rake all down smooth and level, and your seed bed is ready. Now 
draw a line across one side of the plat, and with the hoe make a shallow trench from a half to one 
inch deep, according to the size of the seed to be sown; make the trench about six inches wide, scatter 
the seeds over the bottom, but not too thickly, and then draw the soil back and cover the seeds to the 
depth of about the thickness of the seeds as evenly as possible, then press the beds gently with the 
back of the spade to make firm the earth around the seeds. 

Great care must be taken not to give too much water, as the young plants imbibe moisture very 
easily. Water with a fine hose, but never so that the ground becomes soggy. Some shade must be 
used to protect the young plants from the hot, dry sun and winds, and also to keep the birds from 
destroying them. 

The trenches or drills are to be two feet apart so that the hoe or garden cultivator can be em- 
ployed in cultivation. Keep the soil loose between the rows, and keep-them well clear of weeds. 
Seeds of the rarer sorts may be sown in cold-frames or in boxes; if in cold-frames, the sashes should 
be shaded and the frames raised at the corner three or four inches to allow the air to circulate freely. 

Allow the young plants to remain from one to two years before transplanting. 

For timber claims on our prairies, would recommend to plant Black Walnut, Catalpa, Russian 
Mulberry, Ash, Box Elder, Wild Black Cherry, Honey and Black Locust. 


FRUIT SEEDS. 


APPLE. Apple seeds do not reproduce the same varieties, but an inferior though hardy stock. 
Upon the stock thus raised from the seed are grafted or budded the cuttings of such varieties as are 
desired. The seed can be planted in good soil, any time during the winter in the South, or early in the 
spring in the North, in rows eighteen inches apart. If the seed is planted in the spring, it must first 
be frozen, which can be done during the winter by placing layers of seed in the boxes and covering with 
sand and exposing them to the cold, freezing weather. After freezing, the seed must not be allowed to 
become dry, or many will be spoiled if deprived of all moisture. 

American Apple. Lhb., 50c; bu., $10.00. os French Crab Apple. Lb., 50c; bu., $10.00. 

RUSSIAN APRICOTS. The hardiest of the Apricots. In its native land it flourishes as far north 
as the mountains of Duhurid, in Siberia. It was brought to the United States about 1875 by the Rus- 
sian Mennonites, and was extensively planted by them in their Kansas and Nebraska settlements. 
Fruit medium size and of the best quality. Oz., 10c; Ib., 60c. 

MAHALEB CHERRY. The remarks regarding apples are applicable to Cherries. This variety is 
considered the best stock upon which to graft the choicest sorts. Oz., 10c; Ib., 50c. 

MAZZARD CHERRY. Another variety used extensively for grafting. Oz.,~10c; lb., 40c. 

PEAR. Sow the seed thickly in the spring in drills eighteen inches apart. The soil should be deep, 
a rich, moist loam is most suitable. The value of the stock depends largely on a rapid and vigorous 
growth the first season. After taking one year’s growth, take them up in the autumn, shorten the tap 
root, and reset them in rows four feet apart, a foot apart in the row. The next season they will be 
fit to bud or graft, provided they have been well grown. Oz., 25c:; Ib., $2.00. 

QUINCE. Quinces generally produce the same variety from seed, but occasionally vary. The 
stock is most used for budding and grafting the pear. The fruit! is used for preserves, pies, tarts, etc. 
The mucilage from the seed is often used as a toilet article for the hair. The culture from seed is the 
same as for Apples. Oz., 20c; 1b.; $2.00. 

_ MYROBOLAN PLUM. The direction given for planting apples will apply to Plums, except the 
pits Should be planted farther apart in the row. The varieties raised from seed will be inferior, but 
hardy, vigorous stock are thus afforded upon which to graft the choicest sorts. Oz., 10c; 1b., 60c. 

GERMAN PRUNES. Treated same as preceding. Oz., 10c; Ib, 50c. 

PEACH. Peach stock are raised by planting the stone two or three inches deep in the fall. If the 
stones are cracked they are most sure to grow. The after treatment is about the same as for Apples, 
though budding can be commenced sooner than grafting in Apple stock. Bu., $1.00

SPRAYERS, INSECTICIDES. FERTILIZERS, ETC. 


THE LITTLE ASPINWALL. 

i S The best low priced tin sprayer on the market. It 
== | _ throws a spray as fine as steam, and is very useful for 
: =a applying Liquid Lice Killer in cracks and_ crevices 
about the poultry house, roosts, nest boxes,. etc., also 
about the hog pens. It is more economical of the in- 
secticide than a paint brush or other means of applica- 
tion, For applying insecticides onto rose bushes, 
shrubs, etc., it is unequaled. Price, 75c. 

“KANT-KLOG” ROCHESTER SPRAYER. 

A slight pressure of the thumb starts the spray. Remove it and the lass 
spray stops instantly. Special attention is called to the new “Kant-Klog,” : 
the only nozzle that can be successfully cleaned without stopping the 
spray or removing the nozzle from the tree. The first and only nozzle 
ever made which gives both flat. and round sprays or solid sprays. 

Description. The Sprayer body is made of galvanized steel. Top and 
bottom are dome-shaped, joined to body under heavy pressure, making a 
complete double seam. The body is supported and further strengthened 
by a heavy steel band around the bottom. When completed this body is 
tested under double pressure formerly used so enabling you to get a finer 
spray for a greater length of time than with any sprayer ever made. 

The air pump is made of heavy brass two inches in diameter. Hose 
couplings are solid brass, standard cut threads, ends heavily ribbed to 
prevent hose slipping cff. Hose is high grade, three-ply, Supported by a 
coiled spring bell-shaped at outer end to prevent breaking. <A_ safety 
valve is provided to allow air to escape after the necessary pressure has 
been obtained. e 

The “Kant-Klog” Nozzle furnished with this machine without extra 
charge, makes two bell sprays of different size, volume and fineness; one 
flat spray and two sizes of straight streams. The new Spring ‘“Hose- 
Cock” is also furnished with style G without extra cost. Sprayer holds 
between four and five gallons and can be carried either by carrier strap 
or air pump handle. Price, $4.00. 

Directions. A few seconds working of the air pump thoroughly agi- 
tates the solution and charges the sprayer with compressed air. This 
being a very powerful and elastie force, will, as soon as the thumb presses 
the “Shut-off’ force out the liquid in the form of either a spray or a 
solid continuous stream as desired. 

After sprayer is charged, you need not stop for anything; just walk 
along from one row to another, the machine will supply, sufficient. spray 
to enable you to do the work as fast as you can walk. The great saving 
in time, labor and solution even on small sprayings will more than pay 
hs this splendid machine the first po it is used, to say nothing of the 

ig increase in crops as a result of spraying properly. ‘b 3 9

THE “PLANET JR.” NO. 8 HORSE HOE AND CULTIVATOR. 


Probably no other cultivating machine is so widely known 
as the “Planet Jr.’ Combined Horse Hoe and Cultivator, for it is 
in use throughout the civilized world. It is so strongly built as 
to withstand ineredible strain, yet it is light and easy to handle. 


3 The Frame is longer than usual and about one and a half 
inches higher, making a tool that will not clog easily, - 


__ The Standards are formed up hollow with round throats of 
stiff steel; they polish quickly and free themselves readily from 
obstructions, and they clasp the frame and strengthen it. 


The Depth is under perfect control by means of 
a new lever wheel and the new patented depth reg- 
ulator, which are moved instantly in unison by a 
Single lever, making exact work, steadying the ma- 
chine and relieving the operator, 


The Expander. This is an entirely new pat- 
tern, superior to all other forms; exceedingly strong, 
Simple, accurate and positive in all positions. 

Handles and Braces. These are also new and 
» WS the most effective and stiffest combination known, 

— mn at once making the tool rigid, yet allowing every 

—==s : adjustment of handles in height and sidewise. 

The Reversible Side Hces, patented, are an important part of the implement. As shown in the 
cut, they act as plows or hillers, but when turned end for end. the tool becomes a genuine horse hoe, 
working so close that an immense amount of hand labor is avoided. 


Every part is perfected to make the tool acceptable to the. farmer, who knows the best is the 
cheapest. Price, $9.00. 


; “PLANET JE.” TWELVE TOOTH HARROW AND CULTIVATOR. 
This tool has rapidly grown into favor with farmers, market gar- 
deners and strawberry growers. It has a high frame and the chisel 
shape teeth can cut an inch wide each. It may be set with teeth trail- 
ing. The foot lever pulverizer is a capital addition for preparing 
ground for the seed drill or for plant setting. Hand levers regulate 
both width and depth while in motion; it contracts to 12 inches, and 
may be further reduced in width by taking off the 
outside teeth; it expands to 32 inches. It cultivates 
deep without throwing earth upon the plants, and 
the smooth, round throated teeth turn strawberry 
runners without injuring them. 
Price, complete as illustrated (weighs 74 1bs.), 
$9.00: 


Same without the Pulverizer Attachment, $7.40.—==% 


Same without both Wheel and Pulverizer Attach- 
ment. Plain, $6.20.
