WHY ' DO IT » Every house has their own theory for increasing their trade.
" This is ours. We feel that if you have never p!‘anted our y
**Pureand Sure’”’ Seeds, our offer to you of a beautiful $10 portrait will
induce you fo send us at least a trial order this season. Next season we will not need to
offer you a present to obtain your order; you will be so elated over the marvelous yields
obtained from the seeds we send you that we will get both yours and your neighbors or-
ders without any argument. Last season we spent over $100,000 in the newspapers and
received thousands of new customers. This year we will increase our appropriation and
five our customers the benefit. Remember, our old customers are just as welcome to one
of these beautiful portraits as our new customers. Whatto do: When yousendus
your order, send us your photograph (a square cabinetif possible, clear and distinct, other-
wise we cannot guarantee a first-class reproduction); our artists will then reproduce a life-
size 16x 20 bromide-finished portrait which will look exactly like the miniature copied
from (except the finish); as the camera reproduces exactly like copy, you need have no
fear of not obtaining the likeness, whichis nearly always the case when copied by hand in
crayon. The portrait which we send you will please and surprise you beyond doubt. Your
small photograph will be returned to youin the same condition received by us. Alllife-size
portaits must be shipped by express; of course you must pay the transportation charges,
which will be from 25c to 35c, according to distance; transferring by express companies
where necessary, may slightly increase the above charges, but for all throuhg points the
above rate willapply. What you must do: In order to receive one of these
handsome life-size portraits free, you must send us an order for seeds in packets
amounting to at least $1.50; remmember, packets, not ozs., 4 lbs., % lbs.,
Ibs., pks., bus., or bulk seed of any kind, neither tools, implements or supplies. The above
present is for you whez your order contains packet seed to the amount of $1.50, and
we positively cannot allow you any special discount when giving you this
beautiful present. If you wart one of these elaborate portraits, send us your wN\N
order today. Please note: It usually requires about five days for SSN
copying and finishing bromides, therefore on account of the enormous rush, ‘So
your photo must take its turn and it will be shipped to you as soon as com-
! pleted, which may be a few days later. However, you may rest assured we will forward it as soon as possible,
Yours very truly, WM. F. NICHOL, Pres. & Gen. Mgr. St. Louis Seed Co.

Interior View of Our Retail Store.
A eae we illustrate a sectional view of our retail department, located at 613-615 North Fourth St., which is noted as headquarters for market
gardeners and farmers for St. Louis and adjacent counties. It is indeed interesting to see the amount of customers making their purchases in our
store at the early hour of 3 a. m. during the marketing season. Our store is located in the heart of the commission district. Therefore we are in a
position to observe the returns and yields from our seeds daily, as the products are mostly sold on Third and Fourth Sts. The past season, which has
just closed, was a noticeable one, In view of the fact that our New Wonder Magnus Tomato, our Nichols Greenback Cucumber, the New Bountiful
Bean, the Early Surprise Sweet Corn, also our French Market Pea, St. L. S. Co.’s New American King Cabbage, Jersey Cream Lettuce, New Green
Erfurt Spinach and New Colorado Queen Muskmelon, as well as our other new introductions which you will find listed en the following yellow pages,
each and every one demonstrating their superiority in their respective classes above all competitors, new offerings by other houses were clearly out-
classed by the above varieties, as well as by our “Pure and Sure” staple varieties which you will find listed throughout this book, this season we offer
you the choicest assortment of new seed novelties ever produced, and we are in a position to quote you rock bottom prices on any large bill of seeds
you may submitus. Therefore we trust you will favor us with your orders, whether large or small, and in conclusion we desire to say
JUST ONE WORD.
EFORE making out your order we want to impress upon you that seeds purchased from us cannot be excelled by any other firm in the country.
We devote our time to looking after our growing crops. We take pains tokeep each variety’s vitality strengthened, thus insuring our customers
with perfect seed. Every variety listed in this catalog is “O. K.,”? and has our name and recommendation back of it. Our packets contain the
amount of seeds quoted at whosesale, not retail, as you have been used to buying heretofore.
If you desire to purchase a large amount of seeds it will pay you to compare our bushel prices with other firms’ catalogs before ordering else-
where. All seeds are tested as soon as received from our growers, and any lot that is not perfect is destroyed.
We carry on extensive experimental grounds, and you may rest assured that if you are looking for novelties in the seed line we can please you at
all times.
is PLEASE ORDER EARLY AND AVOID THE SPRING RUSH.

:
and GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ORDERING.
i Please Read Carefully Before Sending Your Order.@& |
WHAT WE PAY THE POSTAGE ON—We pay the postage on goods priced in this Cataloe only where we say “Postpaid”
after the price or somewhere else on the page, Generally speaking, we pay postage on Vegetable and Flower Seeds in packets, ounces and % Ibs.,
also on half pints, pints and quarts where specified and on Bulbs where noted. Seeds ordered at freight or express prices cost you 10¢ extra per
pound for postage when requested sent by mail, which must be remitted when ordering. Mexico and Canada Postage same as United .
States and possessions.
How TO REPiIT—Money may be sent to us in the following manner: Postoffice order, draft on St. Louis or New York, or by express. Re-
mittances for small amounts may be made in 2c postage stamps. If you send personal checks, add 15¢ additional, as it will cost us 15¢ each to
collect. In remitting, purchasers will be particular to send a sufficient amount to cover their orders. When only a part is remitted, goods will
be sent to the amount of the remittance only.
IF bea vie “RURAL ROUTE,”’ please see that we have your mail properly directed. If this Catalog was not correctly addressed,
please advise us.
ABOUT W ARRANTIN G—While we thoroughly test each and every variety, and we positively will not serd out any seeds which we do
not believe to be ““Pure and Sure’ in every respect, yet owing to the many contingencies on which the success of any crop depends, such as the
weather being too dry or too wet, sowing too deep or too shallow, an attack of insects, etc., etc., hence it would be unwise, folly, for us to Suar-
antve a perfect crop. Therefore, St. Louis Seed Company gwes no warranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, productiveness
or any other manner, of any seeds, bulbs or plants they send out, and they will not be in any way responsible for the crop, Lf the purchaser does
not accept the goods on these terms, they are at once to be returned,—St, L, S. Co.
Every order for goods named in this Catalog will be executed on these conditions only, This is the same disclaimer as/used by other re-
sponsible seed houses,
SHIPPING DIRECTION S—We deliver our goods to any railroad depot or express office in St. Louis, as you may direct, the purchaser to
pay transportation upon receipt of goods, except where ordered at prices including postage for forwarding by mail. Give your shipping instruc-
tions plainly, and if none are designated we shall exercise our best judgment asto forwarding. The day a shipment leaves we always advise by
a card through the mail that goods are coming by express or freight. It is often necessary to ship different goods in two separate packages.
Frequently we find that goods can be forwarded cheaper and safer by Prepaid express than by mail, although you may instruct us to mail
them. Please Note—We will not send any shipment weighing 20 Ibs. or less by freight. All heavy orders will be shipped by freight unless
otherwise ordered. If you areinahurry jor your seeds and desire them shipped by express, state so; also mark your order k@ RUSH.Gah es
PACKET DISCOUNT — We sell 25 5c packets of seeds for $1.00. 10c pkt counts as two 5¢e pkts; 25¢ pkt as five 5c pkts, etc. We allow ¥
discount on packet seed only, and then only when portrait offer on inside front cover page is not taken advantage of. Should you not make your”
selection, we will add discount packets gratis, or you may add the additional variety of seeds you prefer. FOR EXAMPLE: Remit us $1.00
for each $1.25 worth of packets ordered.
WHOLESALE PRICES for quantities not listed, after varieties throughout this Catalog, will be found on pages 17, 18 and 19. Write us (f

| do not only mean two or three words but complete sentences and many of them. The Parrots that make good talkers are the kind that are hand raised
}, and hand fed; the breeders when raising are continually talking to them, hence their “‘mockery.’”’ Parrots that are trapped are wild and seldom become
}; tame, much less learn to talk. Our Parrots are raised in captivity with tame birds and experienced breeders, being continually handled ri i the time
| they are hatched until they are shipped, hence the result:, talking is their nature, tameness is their nature. We now have the reputation of handling
}: moore Parrots than any other house; in fact, during the Parrot season we usually ship several hundred every day, each one going toa different village

St.L.8$.Co.’s Ne ew EARLY opr” Potato
The pride of the “Red River Valley.” Think of its yield—1,034 bushels peracre! Did you ever dream of such a mammoth yielding potato? aaa
No, we know you didn’t. Neither did we until after we discovered this marvel. We offer it to you now as “The Greatest Potatoon Earth.” Bae
We mean just what we say. We are ready tostake our reputation that you will say so, too, when you have tried it. Itis of the most unie §
form growth ever known—all large, no small potatoes being found. It is earlier than the famous Early Ohio. Itis ten times betterasa
yielder, and has no yellow or black core. Its tops are of an upright growth, bush form. Its skin is of a light red
pinkish color; its eyes are yery shallow, and many; its dry and mealy nature is supreme. Our supply this season is &
very limited. However, we could not keep from offering them as long as they last. We hesitate to tell you of the B®
marvelous good qualities which this New Early “Dix” Potato contains—we fear you might think our statements exag-
erated. But say what we may, we could not do this wonderful new potato justice. Try afew hills of them this year.
You will write us words of praise this fall. We will only sell a limited supply to each customer, as we want all our
friends to derive the benefit of our great new potato introduction. Price $1 per lb, postpaid; 6 lbs $5, prepaid.

NEW COLORADO QUEEN” MUSKMELON
The new Muskmelon which we offered last season, and which took the country by storm.
Melon-growers are enthusiastic in praise of this new, sweet green-flesh variety: Owing to
its well-ribbed, heavily netted, compact form, it has proven to be one of the best shipping
varieties. It grows larger than the Hackensack, almost round, being a trifle flat at the
stem end. Its handsome appearance far supersedes anything ever before seen in the
Muskmelon world and will prove a bonanza to the market gardener. It is the melon that
those who want to grow melons for money and profit, are looking for. It is one of the
earliest melons in cultivation, and, in fact, is a close second to our new introduction, Burrell
Gem. Price: pkt10c; oz. 20c: 4 Ib. 65c; postpaid.

NEW BURRELL GEM
Gs) MUSKMELON &®
When we offered our “New Colorado Queen” last season, we offered the
best there was at that time. This season in our New Burrell Gem we
offer you the best there is at present, or ever has been, and we doubt
very much if such another melon as this will ever be originated. The
originator shipped in a supply to the St. Louis market last summer, and
the demand became so great for them that the commission men could ”
not supply the trade. Consumers gladly paid 20 and 25 cents each for
the New Burrell Gem in preference to paying 5 and 10 cents for “Rocky ~
Fords.’”? After sampling this famous melon we immediately closed a ©
contract with the originator for all of his stock, seed, etc., and arenow ~
pleased to be able to offer it to our customers as long as it lasts, It cost
us an enormous price, but we are going to give you the benefit of this
new Offering. The flesh is of the most handsome salmon color, the skin ~
of a beautiful netted dark green; itis shallow ribbed and shaped similar ~
to the Rocky Ford, only larger, and is much more productive; the appetiz-
ing taste creates a hankering for more, the flesh being so luscious and —
sweet that it fairly melts in one’s mouth like ice cream; in fact, it is the ©
greatest, the grandest and the finest Muskmelon ever discovered. Gar-
deners can make at least one-third more money out of this new introduc-
tion than out of any other melon ever offered. Order carly; stock is ior 4

Most of the flowers are exquisitely ruffled ce fringed on the edges, and are of enor-
mous dimensions, but their great
merits lie in the tremendous varie-
ties of colors, markings, veinings,
blotches and stripings, in the most
grotesque and beautiful combina-
tions; some with charming deep
throats of yellow, white, black,
green or maroon, running off into in-
tricate veins. Someof the colors are
'Y richand gorgeousand others of lovely
| delicate shades. This new offering
a has revolutionized the petunia grow-
ing everywhere. Pkt 25c; postpaid.
S.L. S$. Co.’s KING AL-
PHONSO PETUNIA.
The most beautiful petunia of the
Grandiflora Superbissinia class, it
produces flowers of a very dark crim-
son color, and are boldly waved and
frilled to such an extent that the
widely-opened, brilliant black throat
of the flower is often almost con-
cealed, as the illustration shows. This
[par petunia is almost without com-
Forest Park Petunia.
NEW “RHEINGOLD” PETUNIA.
This is the greatest and the grandest of the large-flowering
petunias. It has very large flowers, of noble shape, whose
widely-opened throat, far up towards the outer margin, is
steeped into a clear bright golden yellow, untarnished by the
usual net of dark veins, and which with the pure white margin is of a
most marvelous effect. In fact it is the most gorgeous petunia ever
discovered, and is now offered for the first time, and no lover of petunias
can afford to be without the “Rheingold.”? Price: Pkt 25c; postpaid.

IMPROVED VICTORIA ASTERS. @®
This new strain produces magnificent flowers, massive and showy, with regular overlapping
petals double clear to the center. The fiowers measure 4 to 5 inches across, and the colors in-
clude many extremely delicate and some gorgeous shades. The plants grow very evenly, about
18 inches high, and carry from 25 to 40 flowers on a plant. Perhaps the handsomest asters,
taken all in all, for size, color and profusion of bloom are our new Improved Victoria. (Seé¢
eut.) Wecan supply the above strain in the three following colors: Lavender, white, pink and
mixed. Pkt10c each; postpaid.
§t.L.§.Co.’s NEW HOHENZOLLERN ASTER.@S
Our great new offering in asters last season surpassed any former varieties ever introduced.
Our New Hohenzollern we consider the finest aster ever discovered. The plants are tall-grow-
ing, the flowers branching and bearing in profusion on very long stalks of from 1% to 2 feet in
length, measure up to 8 inches across, being densely double, finely curled and bearing the great-
est resemblance to a large-flowered Japanese chrysanthemum. It is much superior to the Giant
Comet or Ostrich Feather type of asters, being much larger. We cannot too strongly praise the
wonderful merits of this new aster.. Try them this season and be convinced. F‘ime Pllixed,
price per pkt 10c; postpaid.
St.L.S.Co.’s WHITE HERCULES ASTER. @
Originated by the discoverer of the ““Hohenzollern” aster. It is a beauty, and we are proud
to be able to offer it to our customers again this season. The plants throw up a very strong
stem, 15 to 20 inches high, which begins to branch about 4 inches from the ground and bears at
its summit the main central flower, while on the side shoots appear 4 to 6 secondary blooms. The
latter, borne on remarkably strong stalks, are all of the purest white, with very long petals, and
attain the enormous diameter of 6 to 7 inches. Itis excellent for pot culture, and yields also
splendid flowers for cutting. It also makes fine groups in the open ground, and for exhibition ———EEE =~ —
purposes it simply cannot be surpassed. ‘ Price per pkt, 15c; postpaid. Improved Victoria Aster.

ETTE “RED GOLIATH.”
Our Mignonette offering which we introduced last
season we believe is the finest obtainable, it being by
far superior to anything we have ever scen hereto-
fore. Yhespikes of flowers are immense, measuring
6 to 8inches long by 2% inches in diameter, and are
compactly filled with giant florets, measuring % inch
across and packed full, even in the center, with
anthers or three times as many as other Mignonettes;
hence making this variety a double Mignonette. The
color of the florets—fire red—is strengthened on ac-
count of fhe density of the florets and spikes, thus
presenting almost solid columns of brilliant red, effec-
tively contrasted against the healthy, rich green foli-
age. The fragrance is delightfully rich and powerful.
\ For cutting it is perfection, remaining fresh for 8 to
- 10 days in water. For an ideal “Show Flower” it is
unsurpassed. Price, per pkt 10c; postpaid.

RAINBOW LINARIA. \&
This new creation presents all the colors of the
rainbow. It is indeed a flower of wonderful merit,
not only in coloring, but in its habits as well.. Our
new “Rainbow” Linaria contains all the shades rang-
ing between dark violet and light blue, dark crimson
and pink, also various pure yellow tints. It can be
» sown direct in the open ground as well as in frames.
It can be planted out later on or be cultivated in pots.
It will render itself indispensible for every amateur
and we warmly recommend it to every lover of flowers.
In fact it is one of the finest annuals we ever intro-
duced. Offered last season for the first time. Price,
per pkt 10c; postpaid.
Rainbow Linaria.
BUTTERFLY RUNNER BEAN.
One of the most. beautiful new climbing flowers. The vine is also extremely
floriferous, its leaves, of a somewhat lighter green than other runners, almost
disappearing beneath the clusters of charming flowers which gracefully rise and fall,
like butterflies, in the passing breeze. The seed also is distinct, being mottled brown
on white ground. In the Butterfly Bean we have a beautiful new plant both for the
kitchen and pleasure garden, which answers the burpose of both, viz.: The flowers
and vine being exquisite for beauty, and the fruits or beans being of the finest,
cooking variety. Hence we havea flower that is both usefuland ornamental. Price,

Japanese Kudzu Vine.
The beautiful new Ornamental

garden use.
It is a superb, luscious flavor, with a beautiful crimson,

in clusters, thus insuring a large yield. For home use it

| Nichol’s Yellow Queen.
The 20th Century Wonder. The Corn with a record
of 383 bushels per acre. The largest, handsomest and
solidest yellow corn ever discovered. Joy for the’
farmer, victory for us. Read! Read! Our creat 1907 cornoffering.
Acorn that will make you gasp with astonishment; acorn that has proven itself
victor over all other varieties; 2 corn that has produced the highest acre yield ever
grown; in fact, as its name implies, it is the Qucen of allcorn. Mr. Wide-Awake
Farmer, this is the corn to bank your season’s futureon. It will not fail you. You
will not be disappointed. You will be enthusiastic when husking time comes, and
wonder if such enormous yields will ever cease. Our first season’s supply is very
limited, and we urge you to book your order early. 2
Yellow Queen’s 8 Great Points of Supremacy.
It is the most robust yielder of any corn ever discovered.
It produces more well developed ears to the stalk than any other corn. _
It is a sure yielder as wellas a suve 100-day cropper. ‘a
It produces the most solid and heaviest ears of any yellow corn known,
It will thrive in extreme drouth or wet, where other varieties would die.
It will grow more bushels on poor land or good land than any other kind,
It will out-shell, out-yield and out-sell any other corn on the market.
It produces more fodder than any other known variety. : 3
In fact it is superior to any other corn from every point of view. It defies
the elements of the weather, and returns yields that please, profit and astonish
you. It is the corn “‘to tie to,” no matter where you live. It will do magnifi-
cently anywhere, where corn can be grown. The ears are very large, well
developed and of a golden yellow color. The grains are deep, and the cobis
small. The stalks grow to a medium size in height, being very juicy and bushy,
therefore making one of the finest fodder corns obtainable. Many of the stalks
produce as high as six ears. There very few suckers found in a field of our)
Yellow Queen. If you are looking for a corn that will make you more money
than any you have ever seen or planted heretofore, stop rightnow. Here is the
corn that will doit. Price: 1b 30c; postpaid. By freight or express; 8 Ibs
(will plant one acre) 65¢; pk $1.00; 42 bu $2.00; bu $3.50; 5 bu at $3.40 per

contest will be the same as govern all corn
growing contests. Points willbe takén as to length, size, diameter, depth
of grain, etc. Remember, contestants must purchase at least one peck of
Yellow Queen seed from us this season before being eligible to enter contest, ~
ser Figure it Out for Yourself. -ea
‘i
It costs about the price of thirty bushels of corn to raise one acre
Now at thisrate the man who raises but thirty bushels per acre merely
breaks even. Butthe man who raises forty bushels per acre has ten bushels
profit. At a value of 50c per bushel his income is $5.00 per acre for his
land—a small dividend, is it not? Now on the other hand, the man whoraises
200 bushels per acre has a net profit of 170 bushels per acre, yielding a divi-
dend of $85.00 per acre, clear of all expenses, including cost of seed, labor,
etc. Therefore you will see that a low yield of our famous varieties of corn
on one hundred acres of ground would net the grower $8,500.00, with abso-
jutely no more labor than the thirty-bushel-per-acre man had in producing
his yield, for which he received no recompense.

NICHOCL’S GOLD BOND
The Largest, Best and Most Productive Yellow Corn
Ever Discovered. The Great 90-Day Yielder. Could our fore-
fathers have had access to such productive corn as our Nichol’s Géid Bond, they simply
would have been elated beyond expression. Just think! A 90-day corn yielding over 250
bushels peracre, Can you imagine what such a variety of corn as this means to the agricultural
world? Little did we think when we offered this big early yellow corn for the first time in 1905
that it was going to create such a demonstration throughout the country as it did. Why,
We were compelled to work day and night to fill the orders that poured in from all quarters,
and the reports which we received are simply astonishing. From 200 to 275 bushels per acre
seems to beits yield. Everywhere it has proven itself the most marvelous and extraordinary
corn ever discovered. It grows as naturally asa weed. It produces justasreadily. Itis an
ideal corn to plantfora general] crop. Enthusiastic growers pride it as Two-to-One.
Better than any other early corn. It is a money maker for anyone. Im fact it is the
most remarkable corn ever offered. It is the corn for you, Mr. Stockman. Itis the corn
that is a winner every time. We challenge the world te produceits equal. It can’t be
done.
Read Description. Stalk grows to a height of 8 to 10 feet: ears grow midway, hence
making it easy to pick; all stalks are heavy ear yielders, there being no barren stalks, as
is the characteristic of many other noted varieties; ears grow 10 to 12 inches Iong, being
very thick and uniform in appearance, with 18 to 20 rows of very deep, yellow kernels,
set on a very small red cob, and well filled over the tips, being capped with a snug-fitting
husk, thus insuring it ‘Frost Proof”’ in the lowland districts. The leaves grow broad
and long, which makes it an ideal fodder corn after husking. This corn is not only good
for certain sections, it is good for any climate where corn will grow, north, east, south or
west. For hich or lowlands, itis the best. Do not fail to giveit atrialthis year. You
will never have known the pleasure of growing big, early, yellow corn until you have
tried this variety.
Read the Reports. Judge for Yourself.
lOWA—275 Bushels per Acre. Mr. Daniel Cunningham, Washington Co., Ia
says: ‘* Your Gold Bond is the greatest corn ever seen here, Ji ripened in 93 days with
a yield of over 275 bushels per acre,”
NEBRASKA—263 Bushels per Acre. Ur. Roy Farrell, Richardson Co., Neb., says:
“Hurrah for Nichol’s Gold Bond, The seed I purchased from you last spring was the
Jinest I ever saw, The yield waz almost beyond my eribs’ capacity, 263 bushels per acre.”
Some people look upon buying Seed Corn
as an expense. Possibly it has proven so
with you heretofore. if so reduce your ex-
pense account this year by planting some of
our new varieties. They’re a paying invest-
ment, noE an expense. Try them.
KANSAS—252 Bushels per Acre. Vr. Alex J, Driscoll, Johnson Co., Kans., says:
“Your Gold Bond Corn broke all records for yield in this section, 252 bushels per acre,
Can you beat it? Iwill never plant no other.”

2373 Bushels per Acre Record.
Our Great White Corn Offering in 1905 proved itself the leader in the 100-day white corn
class, as we prophesied when introducing its brilliant future. Soit has come. Thousands of
farmers and stockmen report enormous crops from this magnificent variety. The yield, did
you say? Here area couple of letters. Read them. They speak for themselves:
“Your White Star Corn, which I planted this season, broke all records here, There
must b€ something about your seed corn that is marvelous, as I have a friend who beat
everything in his state (Kansas) with your ‘Gold Bond,” I certainly am going to try some
of that this year. My White Star yielded 237% bushels per acre,
“H. T. Rogerson, McLean Co,, Ill.”’

Need we say more? In our New White Sta Corn you will find none of the bad qualities
sustained by other white varieties, and not only does it contain all the good points in the
makeup of other famous varieties, but many more as well. We used great care in selecting
this wonderful new variety, and we have no hesitancy in saying it is without exception the
finest apa largest yielding white corn in the world.
WE WART YOU TO TRY IT THIS YEAR.
We want you to write us your results. You will find it to be the
purest white, the deepest grain, the smallest cob, with the largest percentage of perfect,
smooth ears of any corn you have ever grown. Fora bottom ground variety it will outyield
by far any other known corn on the market.
Our many growers who have tried this new corn are enthusiastic in their uraisb: and all
prophesy a brilliant future for it. It will undoubtedly prove a prize winner wherever exhib-
ited. Just think of a field of corn laden down with beautiful, silvery ears, not nubbins. Can.
you resist giving it a trial? Surely you will not continue planting your old stock, or any:
other new stock of white corn that may be offered you, when you can obtain such a wonder- '
ful yielding variety as thisis. If we did not know it was the best to be had we would not:

medium length leaves extending thickly around joints, from which shoot ears in abundance.
It isa very deep-rooted corn, hence it is not easily injured by wind storms. Neither are the
roots near the surface, thus insuring you against any chance of being broken off and the
vitality of the plant sapped in cultivation. For a genuine perfect corn in every respect we
are sure it will please you.

Nichol’s Yellow Beauty. Expert corn growers everywhere predict for thisnew i |
corn a golden future. It iso much superior tothe
famous Iowa Gold Mine there cannot begin to be any comparison. From every point, depth of grain, small-
ness of cob, productiveness and yield, our new Yellow Beauty will surpass Gold Mine 33% per cent. Be one:
of the first in your neighborhood to grow this money making sort. You will find no suckers or barren stalks:
in this variety, in fact it is the dent corn we have all been looking for. It is much larger than Pride ofthe |
North, and heavier, two ears of this sort weighing as much as three ears of Gold Mine, owing to the extreme
ssmaliness of the cobs,twhich weigh only about 5 or 54% pounds to the bushel. -This is a point that cannot be
equalled by anyother corn. In order to obtain this wonderful new variety, you must purchase it from us, as
we are the sole introducers, and this is the second season it has ever been offered forsale. We confidently
recommend this variety as the acme of perfection, and urge you to plant it, and plant it freely.

IMPROVED LEAMING.
This famous variety has probably made the corn-growers throughout the United
States more money than any other standard sort, being introduced at a time when
such corn as ours listed on the preceding pages was unknown. This corn was orig-
inally originated by Mr. Leaming, the famous originator in Ohio, and still retains the
same characteristics that made it famous. In fact, it is one of the best general-purpose
varieties in use today. Classed as 100 to 110 days in ripening. We have known it under
favorable conditions to mature in less time. Any farmer wishing to plant for general
’ erop cannot do better than when he selects this variety.

Owing to the continued increasing demand for Pop Corn on the market it is fast becoming a profitable crop
crop to grow. It will, in fact, pay one to grow it in large fields, as the pure food industries throughout the wit
country are consuming thousands of bushelsdaily. It is as easily grown as field corn and yields from 8 to 4 times more per acre, bringing a much larger
price than the field varieties. The fodder is excellent for stock, thus insuring it a two-fold paying investment. We have taken special pains with
our stock this year, and we are in a position to supply you with the best Pop Corn obtainable.

5 iy 7 Alfalfa is the corner-stone upon which is being built the prosperity of wide areas of
our agricultural country—with its never-failing four to five crops of from six to
twelve tons per acre, and having a value of $12.00 to $18.00 per ton; its great fattening qualities for horses, cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry; its drought-
resisting qualities, After once being rooted, its perennity is more than two decades, while some claim for it immortality. There is not one crop known
to the West that pays better returns in cost per acre. The plant is not so fastidious as to soils as has been thought, but flourishes best in a rich, loamy
soil. It does not thrive where plant food is deficient. It grows in many dry places without irrigation, but where there is sub-irrigation in dry land,
or good drainage in most soils, the plant will go fifty feet down and grow and bloom perennially. The best time to sow isin the spring. In some sec-
tions it is sown in the fall. Ground must be very carefully prepared. Price: 1 lb 35c, postpaid; by frt or exp, 1 Ib 25c; 10 Ibs $1.75; bu $9.00; 100 Ibs $14.00.
GENUINE. TURKESTAN ALFALFA-Superior to the ordinary variety because of its greater ability to resist drought or
stand higher temperatures. Parallel experiments show it to be superior to our Alfalfa in yield where only a minimum supply of water may be
depended upon. It possesses a very large root system, and the general construction of the plant is'to enable it to do this. Price: 1 Ib 40c, postpaid;
by freight or express, 1 Ib 30c; 10 lbs $2.65; bu $12.50; 100 Ibs $20.00,
ALSIKE OR SWEDISH CLOVER—A very hardy variety that succeeds on any kind of soil and resists extremes of heat and
drought. It is usually planted in mixture with grasses for pasturage and for hay; especially with Timothy. It is excellent for bees. 'When once
established it yields enormously, and can be cut several times during the season.’ In recent years failures to secure a stand with Red Clover is of
frequent occurrence. We suggest you trying Alsike. Many have done this to their advantage. It is similar to Red Clover in every particular of
growth and feeding value. Price: 1 1b 35c, postpaid; by freight or express, 1 lb 25c; 10 Ibs $1.65; bu $8.60; 100 lbs $13.75.
WHITE CLOVER-—A small creeping perennial variety, valuable for pasturage and lawns; its flowers are well liked by bees. Flourishes
in a variety of soils, but prefers moist ground. It should be included in mixtures for permanent pastures and for lawns. , Itis effective in preventing
the soil from being ‘washed by heavy rains. Price: 11b50c, postpaid; by freight or express, 1 lb 40c; 10 lbs $2.25; 100 lbs $16.00.
HONEY OR BEE CLOVER (Bokhara Sweet)—Highly recommend by experimental stations; especially adapted to bees, the honey
from it being as clear as a crystal. Itis also highly recommended as a fertilizer, tobe turned under when green. Itis a very quick, vigorous srower,
and possesses superior qualities to most other clovers. Price: 1 1b 60c. postpaid; by freight or express, 1 lb 50c; 10 lbs $2.75; bu $14.50. »
JAPAN CLOVER (Lestezeda)—A low spreading perenhial, very valuable for dry, sandy land. Price: 1 1b 60c, postpaid; by freight or

PERMANENT PASTURE MIXTURES.
Every successful farmer and stockman will agree with us that a pasture or meadow of mixed grasses is far superior to a field of Clover or Timothy
alone. More grass in the pasture season is an increasing need all over. Land, whether cut-over timber, hilly and dry, or low and wet, needs seeding”
to suit new conditions. Wild grasses are disappearing. Replace them with tried cultivated grasses instead of weeds. Useour Pasture Mixtures,
which contain grasses of the best mixture. *
PASTURE MIXTURE **A’’—Good Moist Soils. Sow ten to fifteen pounds per acre. This is intended for the average:
soil. Use more seed where land i is dryer. If stock does not keep down to six or ten inches use the mower todo so. Do not pasture too closely. This:

Cow Peas are too well known in the South to need any description and have been used to such an extent in sections close to us
and farther north that their adaptability to these latitudes is past the experimental stage. They are usually compared with clover. —
There feeding value is about equal, and many claim them superior, and their fertilizing value for land is about the same as clover.
They can be sown from corn-planting time, in the spring, to September Ist. It takes 1% to 2 bushels for am acre. Theft area

____use of fertilizer you can raise much larger and finer crops, and without drawing on the land for all its nutriment. Reports show that the Western
_ ‘States are waking up,” and that there has been from 500 to 1,000 per cent. more increase in different States in the past year in the use of fertilizers.
Eastern fee never think of sowing wheat and grasses without sowing fertilizer also, and our western customers will soon do the same. The

“To Have a Lawn that Is a Lawn It Must Be Sown with “Havalawn.”
RSW Woes .§ Nothing adds more to the appearance of one’s home than a nice,
wwe AS green, velvety lawn, whether living in the city or country. A dollar
expended in our famous HAVALAWN Grass Mixture will add more
a= & WD YOU'LL HAVE A HOME than a twenty-five dollar expenditure in any other way.
“HAV ALAWWN,’’ THE ONLY INOCULATED GRASS SEED MIXTURE EVER DISCOVERED. Praised and Endorsed by
Homelovers Everywhere. {GF AWARDED THE GREAT WORLD’S FAIR MEDAL 1904,
HAVALAWN (name registered in U.S. Patent Office) is procurable only from us. Every pack-
age bears our green label. No other is genuine, and we will prosecute all infringements.
AVALAWN mixture will insure a beautiful, compact evergreen sod on any lawn where the essential requirements of grass culture have been
complied with. Its component parts are the grasses peculiarly adapted to lawns and door yards. It is composed of the best thriving varieties,
together with the best known creeping or sod-forming sorts. Timothy and orchard grass are wholly excluded on account of their coarse leaves
and only finest sorts are used. Full provision is made for a succession of growth, so that there shall be no break in the richness of the verdure
from spring until autumn, and experience proves that Havalawn Grass Mixture is now perfect. Nothing better can be purchased on the American ~
market, no matter what claims may be advanced by other seedsmen. ae
When and What To Sow On Your Lawn.—To start a new lawn, prepare your ground, and see, too, that it is loose and pulverized very fine with
a hand rake; then sow the seed. It is best to always cross-sow, as this enables you to get it on more evenly; then rake in and roll it good. Pon
Everybody interested in beautiful lawns should write or call for our New Free Pamphlet, ““How to Make and Care for the Lawn.” It tells you how
and what to sow, how to prepare the soil, why many lawns fail, the difference in soil, how to fertilize, together with instructions for replenishing th
old lawn; in fact, itis a veritable gold mine for every homelover. Mailed free to any address for the asking.

Extra Fancy Kentucky Blue Grass Seed—(Price Subject to Change.) It is most valuable asa
lawn grass, but we advise sowing a lawn-grass mixture such as our Havalawn, because it contains some Kentucky Blue
Grass, White Clover and other lawn grasses in proper proportions to make a lawn that is not so easily affected by drouth
and heat and is more permanent in winter weather. Sow in October or early spring.

A HANDY FLOWER SEED GUIDE |
That will enable you to quickly learn the different names of Flowers without searching all through the catalog. It also tells of the purposes for which
many of the plants are best suited.
Take, for example, Floss Flower. It is not listed in our catalog by that name, and you do not remember or may not know its other name. Look
down this Guide for Floss Flower and you find that it is numbered 103, which number is only used for convenience. You often see that its other name
is number 4. Look back for 4 and you find the name Ageratum. Now you can readily find the description and price by looking for Ageratum, which
ison page 91. If you found Ageratum first, the number of its other name, as you see, is 103.
The letters signify, thatitis good for bedding, B; for cut flowers, C; for both bedding and cutting, marked X, If it is fragrant it is marked F,
and for window boxes, W; for partial shade, S. Where there is no number given, it is known by no other name.

clinging nature. In fact, say what we
may cannot praise its wonderful beauty.
