In this age of the strenuous and busy life there are and always will be people who have not sufficient
time to carefully look over a long list of varieties and spend a few hours over a Seedsman’s catalog, getting
up a list of the seeds they want for the home garden.

For the accommodation of those and others who are not familiar with the merits of the different va-
rieties, we put up a collection of those varieties, which, in our estimation are best suited to the differ-
ent climes of this great country. If you are in doubt what to order, you can make no mistake in
ordering one of our dollar collections.

There may be just a few people for whom a “Dollar Box” is too much, people who have only a small
garden, and who on account of that do not like to invest one dollar, if they can get enough seeds for 50
cents. To these we would like to give a fair chance to get their money’s worth, and an attractive garden.
Therefore we offer this year, for the second time a 50c cent collectlion, containing 15 of the most popular
anes of vegetables, and also a liberal packet of mixed flower seeds, which will help to make your garden

eautiful.

These 50 cent collections would be just the thing for the “Children’s” garden, and as they come
in neat attractive boxes they make a very pretty present for some of your friends, a gift which would be
highly appreciated and remind the friend throughout the growing season of the giver.

By mail, postpaid—50c.
As these collections are put up in advance, we can not make any changes in the assortments.

No premiums allowed on collections, as they are premiums in themselves.

SPECIAL! FOR 1909 SPECIAL!

Here is a chance to get three remarkable new varieties of vegetables for only 25 cents.

Our Surprise collection for 1909 contains one full sized packet of each of the three splendid va-
rieties of vegetables illustrated on the back coverof this catalog and described on pages 3,5 and 27
respectively. Besides this we have in store for our customers a little surprise, which will justify the
name which we have given to this collection. Although these three fine novelties are well worth the
price we ask for them, yet we like to do more, and we shall enclose in each collection a little present,
which will be useful to both ladies and gentlemen. It will come in handy three hundred days of the
year and will surely please our customers.

Distributing Headquarters of Western Seeds.

THE BARTELDES SEED CO.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS.

JANUARY 4, 1909.
To Our Friends, Our Customers:

We take pleasure in presenting you with our 42nd annual catalog
and trust the same will be to our mutual advantage.

As you no doubt know, this is an age of progress, and this progress is no
less marked in Agriculture than in other lines of industry. Ifyou wish to suc-
ceed you must advance with the rest of the world.

Have you been advancing? Has your garden produced better vege-
tables, and your fields better crops than in years before? If your results have
not been better, something should be done tomakethemso. Asanaid, and we
sincerely believe it isa great aid, we offer you our WESTERN SEEDS OF
QUALITY. It is upon the quality of these WESTERN SEEDS that we have
made and have been able to maintain our truly enviable reputation. It is and
always has been our aim to supply only the very best WESTERN SEEDS, the
quality of which has been thoroughly tested and the seeds themselves thoroughly
cleaned by the latest and most approved methods and machinery. This sum-
mer we went tothe expense of sending two of our men to Washington, D.C.,
where they spent the greater part of the summer in the Government Seed Labor-
atory studying seed testing, so that we would be still better equipped to furnish

the very best seeds to our customers.

In no other industry does the maxim “The best is the cheapest” hold as
true asin Agriculture. There are, of course, on the market cheap seeds as well
as cheap articles of other kinds. However, the planter in buying cheap seeds
wastes not only the price paid for the seed but when he sees the poor garden or
the bare or weedy field he realizes that he has also wasted his time and soil.

Rest assured that you can rely upon our seeds. We would not solicit your
orders were we not sure that we could serve you satisfactorily. We have endeav-
ored to offer in the following pages nothing but the best that can be produced,
and among the novelties on pages 3 to J0 you will find offered some of the best
new creations in vegetables and flowers.

We sincerely thank you, our customers, for the liberal patronage in the
past, and of you, who have never used our seeds or plants, we ask for a trial order
for we feel that we can please even the most skeptical.

With best wishes for a prosperous New Year and our hearty desire to see

you in the ranks of Planters of Western Seeds, we are,

Cordially yours,

ORDER EARLY! We would highly appreciate it if our customers will favor us with their kind or-
ders as early in the season as possible. While, of course, ALL ORDERS entrusted to us receive careful
and prompt attention, yet it frequently happens that during the rush season in the spring we are several
days behind in filling orders. Our customers can help us to avoid this by sending us their orders as soon
after New Year and before March first, as practicable. By doing so both sides will be benefitted and bet-
ter satisfaction of the customer will be the most satisfactory reward to us.

OUR SPECIAL DISCOUNT OFFER.

2 5 Sts: WORTH OF SEEDS RY TRA

in PACKETS and OUNCES. This premium os
(allowed on all cash orders) can be selected only in Packets and Ounces. No premium can be allowed
on seeds by the Quarter-pound, Pound, Pint, Quart, or Quarter-bushel, nor upon Bulbs or Plants, of
which the prices quoted are NET.

NOVELTIES OF STERLING MERIT as SPECIAL PREMIUMS. Last year this new departure
of ours of offering ‘Novelties as Premiums” was so highly appreciated by our patrons that we decided to
do the same this year. The novelties which we offer on the opposite page are really valuable acquisitions,
and should be a special inducement to favor us with liberal orders.

HERE IS OUR OFFER:” With every order amounting to one dollar customers may select any one .
packet of the three splendid novelties offered on the opposite page; with every two dollar order, any two
varieties may be selected, while with every order for three dollars or more, we shall be pleased to send the
whole collection of three.

This “special premium” is allowed besides our regular discount of 25 cents worth extra on every Dol-
lar for packets and ounces as explained above.

Finally we wish to call attention to the fact that we have branch huouses at DENVER, COLORADO,
and OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA. If by reason of lower freight rates or prompter service a custom-

er prefers to order direct from either point, we can assure him equally fair treatment.

Three Excellent New Varieties of Vegetables

WHICH MAY BE HAD GRATIS AS PREMIUMS ACCORDING TO OUR
STATEMENT ON OPPOSITE; PAGE.

For Every Dollar you send You May Select One Packet.

TOMATO.
Chalk’s Early Jewel.

(From nature, on back of cover.)

Of most handsome appearance, finest flavor
and early ripening qualities, this new bright-red
Tomato is destined to become a leader among
the already numerous popular varieties. In
time of ripening it is within a week or ten
days later than ‘‘Spark’s Earliana,” the well-
known earliest of all, bright-red Tomatoes. The
extremely handsome fruits are of finest table qual
ities, possessing a remarkably fine, sweet flavor.
They are solidly meaty, having small seed ca-
vities and are not apt to crack. The plants are
of strong, robust growth, producing fruits
throughout the season, and for this reason we
recommend to plant ‘‘Chalk’s Jewel” not only for
an early crop producer, but as one which may be
planted as a main crop as well.

For gentral garden planting, where customers
wish to limit their choice to one variety, we can

Re : reat safely recommend ‘‘Chalk’s Early Jewel’’ as the
CHALK’S EARLY JEWEL TOMATO. variety which will give the best satisfaction.

Packet free with orders amounting to $1.00 or Per pkt. 10c; 40z. 20c; oz. 35c; 1-4 lb. $1.00
P. S.—This novelty can also be bought in our ‘Surprise Collection,” offered on second inside cover page.

LETTUCE,
Iceberg,

This remarkable sort belongs to the ‘‘Crisp-Head”
‘‘Cabbage Lettuces” and is a decided acquisition. It forms

Ses

a large solid head, the curly outside leaves being of a light
green color, while the inside is being bleached and is almost
white. It is quite as well adapted for planting in the sum-
mer as in the Spring, as the hottest summer weather can not
cause the leaves to open outward and expose the heart. This
unusual solidity of the heads make it in our opinion, the
ideal summer lettuce, and we strongly recommend our cus-
tomers to give this splendid variety a trial.

A NEW SUMMER RADISH FROM GERMANY,
] The White Delicious.

s ‘3 (Illustrated on page 41.)

Not since the now very popular ‘‘Icicle’’ Radish was brought to us from Germany years ago have we iound such
an excellent Radish as the “‘White Delicious,’’ which we now offer for the first time to ‘* Western Planters.’’ ‘‘White
Delicious’’ is particularly adapted for summer use, producing handsome olive-shaped roots, which are pure white, exceed-
ingly crisp and of mild flavor. White Delicious’ requires a longer time to mature than the earlier varieties of Radishes,
but it remains in fine condition much longer. It is altogether the most desirable variety for summer use and we are sure
our customers will like it. “alee

LETTUCE, All Seasons.

This new “‘Butterhead” Lettuce was offered
by us for the first time last year for advance
trial, and owing to crop shortage, not half - the
orders for this splendid variety could be filled.
All Seasons Lettuce is a distinct black-seeded
sort, forming splendid solid heads of a light sil-
very green color. These heads are larger and will
“stand” longer before going to seed than
those of any other butterhead variety. The in-
side leaves are of rich yellow color, crisp, tender,
and of mild flavor. Illustrated on page 25 of
Catalog. Pkt. 10c; 0z. 20c3 4-Ib. 70c; fb. $2.00

BEET, Early Model.

The earliest of any Beet in existence! It
is of perfect globe shape with small tap roots.
The color of the flesh is a very dark red which
makes it splendid for pickling purposes. In
flavor it cannot be beat. It is tender, sweet
and juicy, retaining its crispness throughout the
season. The foliage, which is of a very dark
color, is very small, permitting close planting
of the Beets. This Beet is one of the best
acquisitions in recent years. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c3 4

A Splendid New Cabbage <a

from Denmark,

Our correspondent in Denmark, from whom
‘we obtained this fine new Cabbage, describes it
to us as being the finest white Cabbage he ever saw,
_and he has grown Cabbages all his life.

Mariendaler Stonehead belongs to the class

of ‘‘Danish Ballhead Cabbages.’’ It forms fine,
symmetrical and compact heads of bluish white
color. The plants grow to good size, are short-
stemmed, forming fine large round heads of unusual
solidity, hence the name—Stonehead. The mature
heads are of excellent keeping qualities, being, if
-sheltered properly, in excellent condition as late
-as June.
: Taking everything into consideration, Mar-
iendaler Stonehead deserves the highest rec-
ommendations and should quickly attain great pop-
wilarity.

CO., LAWRENCE, KANS.

This exceedingly handsome Bean is by far the ‘‘best’’
that has been offered to our customers for some years.
It is a ‘decided improvement over Wardwell’s Kidney
Wax, with far handsomer pods and of better quality.
Under ordinary culture, this new variety will yield twice as
many pods as Wardwell’s, while their absolute stringlessness
and fine delicate flavor make it by far the most desirable
Wax Bean yet introduced. The illustration, from a photo-
graph, will convey some idea of the handsome appearance of
the pods. Market Gardeners can rest assured that as
long as there are Round Pod Kidney Wax in the market
no other variety will have a show. The fleshy pods
are about six to seven inches long, one-half inch broad
and three-eights of an inch thick; the color is a rich lemon-
yellow, a color that will catch the eye. Be sure to have
at least one row of these fine Beans in your garden.
You will be surprised to see what a splendid lot of beans
you will have next summer.

WATERMELON,
Halbert Honey,

Originally grown in Texas, it comes to us from the East,
where, owing to its superb qualities, it has won a reputation
in an incredibly short time. The melons are of oblong form,
symmetrically rounded on both ends. The skin is smooth,
of dark green color, thin and rather brittle; on account of
this the melons do not stand shipping well. They are,
however, the best melons for home use and nearby markets.
The flesh is of a beautiful crimson color, of luscious flavor
and entirely free from strings. Try Halbert Honey this
year! Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; 1-4 1b. 30c; lb. $1.00

MAY KING LETTUCE.

The best ‘‘Butterhead’’ Lettuce for forcing, as well as early spring planting in the open ground! ‘‘May King’’
s extremely hardy and may therefore be planted very early in the Spring. It makes quick growth, forming, when fully
grown, attractive heads which measure 10 to 12 inches across. The outside leaves are tightly folded, making the plant
practically all head. The leaves are of yellowish green color, while the inside is bright yellow. ‘‘May King’’ has a rich but-
tery flavor which will win the heart of every lover of lettuce. It is a splendid variety for Market Gardeners, to which
class of planters we wish to recommend it particularly, as the tightly folded heads carry well to market and will out-sell
most other varieties. Per pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 1-4 Ib. 60c; Ib. $1.75

The “Davis’ Perfect”? Cucumber.

Davis’ Perfect has three characteristics, any one of which would be sufficient to make it a favorite. Quality
stands at the head of the list,the meat being deliciously crisp and of fine, mild flavor. Handsome appearance is a stron
favorable point in the eyes of the Market Gardeners. It is about 12 inches long when fully developed,of symmetrica
shape and dark, glossy, green skin, which changes to white when the fruit begins to ripen.

Last, not least, it has the very thick flesh, which practically leaves no space for seeds. It is the kind of a
cucumber a housewife likes to cut, because there are so few seeds. Pkt. 10c; per oz. 15c; 1-4 lb. 45c; Ib. $1.50

New Musk Melon,

Jersey Button Jenny Lind.

This is the leading shipping melon among truckers in
the East, particularly in New Jersey, where it is grown large-
ly for Philadelphia markets and those of surrounding cities.
Its uniform size, fine quality and early ripening, make it a
most desirable variety, which we can most heartily recom-
mend. A peculiar characteristic of this sort is a distinct
nub or button, which grows out of the blossom end, and the
flesh of which is of concentrated sweetness. Not all fruits
have this button, but the majority will show it as in the ac-
companying illustration.

Equally as

very uniformly and the whole
crop can generally be gathered

- in one picking, a fact which

vigorous growth. The fruits are usually set in
large clusters and run from 23 to 33 inches
in diameter. They stand shipping exceed-
ingly well and bring highest prices wherever

offered. The Tomatoes are solid, free from £

TRUE SOUTHPORT ONIONS oe

The true Southport Onions, on account of their fine keeping qualities, handsome appearance and uniform size, are

bringing higher market prices than any other variety offered. Our special strains of these Onions are the very best that can
be produced, grown by the best growers in Connecticut, who make a specialty of growing these splendid sorts.

Southport
Yellow
Globe.

This strain ripens hand-
some, thin-necked globe on-
ions a week earlier than the
red globe. They are larger
in size and more perfectly
globe-shaped than the Globe
Danvers, but slightly later
in ripening. In size. and
form the Onions are similar
to the ‘‘Red Globe,’’ but
their color is a pale straw
yellow. The bulbs are ex-
cellent keepers, of mild flav-
or, and owing to their hand-
some appearance, sell readily
in all markets.

Special Connecticut Strain:

Southport White Globe.

Southport
Red
Globe.

The handsomest and rich-
est colored of all red Onions.
The bulbs are of perfect
globe shape, measuring two.
to three inches in diameter.

The Red Globe grows, as a
rule, larger than either the
Yellow or White Globe;
however, does not bring the
fancy prices which these two
command, Our strain of
Southport Red Globe is ab-
solutely | unequalled. The
tops die down very uniform-
ly, insuring a proper ripening
of the bulbs before they are
pulled. This is responsible
for the fine keeping quali-
ties of these Onions, which,
in some localities, are becom-
ing more popular than the
Red Weathersfield.

as the finest of all American varieties of market onions. Of
pure paper white color, perfect globe shaped, fine-grained, and

of very mild flavor, these Onions are prize takers everywhere.

The handsome silvery white bulbs average about 24 inches in

diameter. We recommend this variety very highly.

A New Onion of Highest Merit
for the South and West.

Gigantic Gibraltar.

This comparatively new and little known variety is partic-
ularly adapted for growing in warm climes. In appearance it is
very similar to the well known ‘‘Prize Taker’? Onion; will how-
ever grow larger under favorable conditions. The handsome,
globular shaped bulbs have a light straw-colored skin, while the
flesh is white and very mild. The ripe Onions are excellent keep-
ers and surpass, in this respect, most other varieties, if properly
handled. Experiments have shown that of Onions harvested
in August, fully 95 per cent were in fine marketable condition
in January, free from split and rotting.

These Onions are excellent for marketing purposes as well
as home use. The growing crop withstands dry weather to a re-
markable extent. Most highly recommended.

SHALLU.

‘ A non-saccharine Sorghum from India, where it is extensively cultivated under the name of
“Shallu.”” It is also known under the name of California Rice Corn, California Wheat, Egyptian Wheat.

One of our farmers here secured a small sample four years ago from California Experiment Station
and after continual planting, has raised two acres for us this season. The following statement will show
you what the grower thinks of this grain. It is more valuable than Kaffir Corn, for the grain, as it yields
considerable more seed, it being of stooling habit, producing all the way from three to six stalks from a
single grain, and that it is quite a drouth resister. The heads grow similar to broom corn, forming large
heads of large round, plump, white seeds. It isan excellent feed for horses, cattle and for chicken feed it is
unexcelled. Can be popped the same as pop corn, being more crisp than pop-corn. When ground it makes
an excellent flour for pancakes. It is more of a grain cropthanaforagecrop. It will form more seed than
any of the cane or sorghum family, and double the amount of Kaffir Corn.

The above picture was taken by us personally and will give you an idea of its growth.

Sow in rows three feet apart 3 to 5 pounds of seed per acre. For fodder sow half to one bushel
either broadcast orin drills. Wethink it worth a trial.

SWEET CORN.

New Golden Bantam.

The earliest of all Extremely Early Sweet Corns.
The Sweetest; of most Surpassingly Delicious Flavor.

Golden Bantam is the most tender, sweetest, richest, and best evergreen Sweet Corn in existence.
It produces strong, sturdy stalks, growing about four feet high. Is extremely hardy and can be grown
from the Gulf to the Great Lakes. Each stalk produces three to four fine ears 5 to 6 inches long, having
eight rows of sweet kernels. Golden Bantam is the quickest to mature and will give better and quicker

NOVELTIES IN FLOWERS.

SIX NEW ORCHID-FLOWERING SWEET PEAS.

As promised to our customers in
last year’s catalog, we have pro-
cured for distribution among our
customers, a few varieties of the
- magnificent ‘“‘Spencer type” of
Sweet Peas. This class, which
oecupies now the most prominent
place among these favorite flow-
ers distinguishes itself particular-
ly by the fine, wavy appearance
of its exceedingly large flowers.
The introduction of the ‘“‘Spencer
type” of Sweet Peas has been a
most remarkable boom to this
class of flowers, and we can safely
say that they are enjoying a great-
er popularity than ever before.
So far almost fifty varieties of the
new class have been introduced go
and of these we have selected the

four most popular for introduc-
tion to western planters.

- Countess Spencer. This is a
most manificent variety of bright,
soft pink color. The petals are
wavy; the blossoms are very large,
often measuring two inches across.
The stems are long and stiff, and
the flowers possess every desira-
ble characteristic.

Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; 1-4 lb. $1.00

- John Ingman. Thisis a se-
lection out of Countess Spencer
having the same form and being
almost as large. The flowers are
often borne four to a spray, of
carmine rose color in the standard
and bright rose in the wings. T his
represents the deepest color in
the ‘‘orchid- flowering” race. Very
beautiful.

Pkt. 10c; 0z.° 30c; 1-4 lb. $1.00

Phenominal. A_ unique va-
riety of this splendid race. The
color isa silvery white, shaded and
edged, with rich lilac or rurple.
The large hooded flowers are mag-
nificent representatives of an im-
proved type of Maid of Honor or
Lottie Eckford.

. Helen Lewis. The blooms are

of truly gigantic size, of the true
ruffled “Spencer type”. The col-
or of the standard isa beautiful
crimson orange while the wings are
orange rose. A very distinct va-
Tiety.

May until August. One pint to 60 feet of drill; 1 to 13 bushels to an acre.

Green-Podded Varieties.

Stringless Green Podded.

This fine Bean is today without doubt the best green podded Bear
in cultivation.- It produces an abundance of splendid round pods. Of
extreme earliness, vigorous growth and brittle, stringless quality, it
would very well deserve the title of ‘‘Peerless.”” No garden should
be without it. Pkt. 5c; pt. 15c; qt. 25c; 1-4 bu. $1.50

Extra Early Red Valentine.

In good all-round qualities, this bean is only surpassed by the Green
Pod Stringless. It produces a large crop of fine round pods, which, while
young and tender are of excellent flavor. It is as early as the String-
less, but the pods are not as long and straight as those of the former.
An old favorite with all who have grown this variety before

if not gathered at the right moment. Forms erect bushes, and the
Beans are of a light green color.

Extra Early Refugee or Brown Speckled Valentine.

This variety comes as a succession of Burpee’s Stringless, and the
Extra Early Red Valentine. Its maturity is slightly later but its
growth is extremely vigorous and we recommend to plant this va-
riety from 6 to 8 inches apart as plenty of space will promote a greater
yield. Pods are round and of good flavor.

cellent quality, quite stringless and brittle at all stages. Highly to be
recommended. - - - - °° PkKt. 5c; pt. 15c; qt. 25c; 1-4 bu. $1.50

mer. Drop about an inch deep in drilis, 12 to 18, inches apart. One ounce to 60 feet of drill; 6 to8 pounds toanacre. H
for sugar factory from 15 to 20 pounds; small beets contain more sugar than large ones, hence the need to sow thickly.

Beets are a very important vegetable in the home garden, and it is the ambition of every good housekeeper to have
them on the table at the earliest possible moment. The Lentz, Detroit Dark Red; Early Blood Red Turnip and Extra
Early Egyptian are the earliest of the standard varieties although this year we offer a beet, which is ahead of all of these in

Sugar Beets do not give quite as heavy a crop, their high per-
centage of Sugar makes them of higher feeding value. — ~~

CULTURE. For early cabbages sow the seed in a hot bed, in March or April, covering the seed from } to 4 inch deep
and when big enough, transplant to another bed. As scon as the ground is in good condition transplant, outside, in rows
2 feet apart and 15 to 18 inchesin a row. The soil should be mellow, rich and well drained. For late crops seed can be sown
in a cold frame, or even ip the open ground, and then transplanted in rows 3 feet one way and 2 feet the other, so as te
be able to work with a horse and cultivator. One ounce of salt-peter dissolved in 3 gallons of water and sprinkled over
the cabbage or cauliflower will destroy the green worm. The liquid being clear, does not color the cauliflower or cabbage
heads, Fine air-slacked lime or tobacco dust, sifted on the young plants as soon as the fleas appear on the ground, will
prevent them from doing any harm. One ounce of seed will produce about 2,000 plants. - About 16,000 early, or 8,00@

Early Flat or Round Head Varieties.

Early Spring.

Its great value lies in its being a first early flat cab-
bage, a type much preferred over the pointed heads by
many. It is of the Early ‘‘Allhead,’’ resembling it in habit
of growth, but smaller and is nearly as early as the Wake-
field. The heads have few outside leaves, and these are
small and grow so close to the head that they can be planted
very close together. It is round in shape, slightly flatten-
ed, very solid even before the cabbages attain their mature
size. - - - - - Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 1-4 Ib. 65c; lb. $2.00

Early Summer.

This variety is about five days later than the Wake-
field, being fully double the size. In weight it is equal te
most of the late varieties, and its short outer leaves enable
it to be planted nearly as close as the Wakefield.

Alf Seasons.

A Drumhead Cabbage as early and every way as good
as Early Summer. This cabbage, while it matures a day
or two later in the spring, when planted in July matures a
day or two earlier than Early Summer in the fall, so that it
will average as early, while the solid heads are from a third
to a half as large again, and they are as good for winter use
as for summer use.

Main Crop or Late Varieties of Cabbage
for Fall and Winter Use.

From the long list of this class of cabbages, we have picked out those six which stand for all. and embody all the good

qualities of the rest.

On the top of this list we like to put the Surehead, which has been the leader for the past thirty years. - Next to
this we think we make no mistake in mentioning the Danish Ballhead, which has been brought to perfection through

more than fifty years selection by Danish gardeners.

Mariendaler Stonehead, the novelty offered by us this year is a most excellent variety of the’ Danish’ Cabbage

With the Premium Flat Dutch as the most popular and most extensively grown, and the Marblehead Mammoth

as the giant of the cabbage family, we wind up by recommending our last year’s introduction, the St Louis Late Market
Cabbage, knowing that with these six varieties we offer the peers of the Cabbages for winter use. :

Coliflor.

CULTURE. The same as for Cabbage,
except that it will pay to use extra manure
and plenty of water for Cauliflower. If the
soil is dry, water frequently, and if the
plants could have a heavy mulch of hay or
straw, it would keep the soil moist, and the
plants would not suffer from a drouth. The
early kinds should be strong enough to plant
out not later than the middle of April; the
late kinds may be planted out same time as

Cabbage. One ounce of seed produces
1,500 plants; 15,000 plants will cover one
acre. eA STEN

Barly Danish ;Snowball,
The Finest in the Market. :

This variety has maintained its position
as the leader amongst Cauliflowers
on account of its many splendid qualities. -

It is extremely early, will head with
certainty, and the heads produced are of
high quality. The growth of the plant is
dwarf, the outer leaves are erect, while the
inner leaves lap over the head, protecting it
from the sun. We recommend it to Mar-
ket Gardeners particularly. It will pay
them to plant it on a large scale. There is
always a market for Cauliflower. The
supply never covers the demand. -

Celery.
Bleich-Sellerie.

CULTURE. For early celery the seed is sown in
February or March, in a\hot bed, in drills 4 to 6 inches apart
and covered about + 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 growing
until needed to plant outside.- - In April they are planted
in the field in rows, 18 to 20 inches apart, and set six inches
intherow. 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 haveto be
earthed up three or four times during their growth. 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 in the latter part of April or beginning
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 of 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 al-
low the water to run off. One ounce of seed produces 2,508
plants, and it takes about 42,000 plants to set one aere if
rows are 2 feet apart.

CULTURE. All varieties of sweet corn maybe either sown in rows four feet apart, and the seeds planted about
eight inches in the row, or planted in hills at a distance of three or four feet each way, according to the variety grown or
the richness of the soil in whichit is planted .Sweet corn should not be planted deeper than one inch to one inch and a half,
as it is liable to rot in the ground. Hoe often drawing the earth against the stems and break off the side shoots. One
quart to 300 hills. About one fourth bushel will plant one acre in drills. . ;

abundance, one stock frequently bearing four good ears, while the
average is three to a stalk. The cob is very small, giving great
depth to the kernels, which are of pearly whiteness. But the great
merit of the Country Gentleman Corn isits delicious qualities; it
is without doubt one of the sweetest and most tender sweet corn, and
produces at the same time ears of good size.

Barteldes ‘French Forcing.”

For several seasons we have experimented with many
strains of lettuce to secure a variety that is especially
suited for growing in hotbeds and greenhouses during
winter months. We have now secured this French vari-
ety, that we believe, suits our trade better than any
variety ever introduced. It is sufficiently curly to be at-
tractive, yet make a reasonably solid head with scarcely
any outsideleaves. Its solid, upright shape allows close
planting. Liberal Pkt. 5c; 02..15c; 1-4 lb. 50c¢

BIG BOSTON LETTUCE.

Grand Rapids.

As a lettuce for greenhouse forcing this variety has few
equals, being of quick growth, little liable to rot, and stand-
ing some days after being fit to cut. The plant is upright,
and forms a loose head or cluster of large yellowish green
leaves, slightly crimped and blistered and rather thin.
It will stand shipping long distances better than most sorts.

Loose-Head or Cutting Varieties.

The best of these is the Black Seeded Simpson. It produces even larger bunches of leaves than the popular Curled
Silesia or Curled Simpson and remains in good condition longer before running to seed. For Jate summer use after the
season for head lettuce is past, we would especially recommend the Early Prizehead. This variety forms large loose
heads, with finely curled leaves, lightly tinged with brown. It grows to a large size and will stand for a considerable time
before running to seed.

Two Fine ‘‘Crisp-Head”’ Lettuces.

The usual solidity of the lettuces of this class is insured by the large white main ribs of the leaves, each of which,
curving strongly into the center, acts like a truss, making it impossible for the leaves to open outward and expose the
center, which is constantly being blanched. It matters not whether these varieties are grown in the spring or in the
hottest days of the summer, the leaves are always crisp and tender.

The Cos Lettuces are distinct from the preceding sorts, in having long

heads, which blanch better by having the outer leaves drawn about them and
tied. On account of their exceeding crispness, tenderness and delicate
flavor they are becoming more and more popular in this country.

Paris White Cos.

This is an excellent variety, although it is not quite as early as the ‘‘Express”

Selected ONION Seeds.
Cebollas. Zwiebeln.

We make a specialty of onion seed, and handle it extensively. We grow a large portion of our seeds
ourselves and have them grown under our supervision. Our seed is grown from choice selected bulbs
and can be relied upon. We make special prices to gardeners and others using large quantities of seed.

SOUTHPORT GLOBE ONIONS.

CULTURE. The onion thrives best in a rather deep, rich, loamy soil, and, unlike most vegetables, succeeds well
when cultivated on the same ground for successive years. As early in the spring as the ground is in working order,
commence operations by leveling the ground with a rake; suw thinly in rows a quarter of an inch deep aid 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 takiug care not to stir the soil too deeply, or collect it about the growing bulb. When ripe, pull and
dry thoroughly before storing. As maggots are the worst enemies of an onion patch, commercial fertilizers are better
to use than manure, which originates maggots. One ounce to 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 pounds to an acre.

CULTURE. Parsley succeeds best in rich, mellow
soil. As the seeds germinate very slowly, 3 or 4 weeks elapse
sometimes before it makes its appearance. It should be
sown early in the spring, previously soaking the seeds for a
few hours in tepid water. Sow thickly in rows a foot apart
and half aninchdeep. One ounce to 150 feet drill.

The plant, if properly transplanted and given’space for perfect development, will form a symmetrical half-globe

LTURE. Peas can be grown”in every garden, but for the earliest varieties a light, warm, moderately rich soil is
most suitable. The smooth kinds can be sown as soon as the ground can be worked,but the wrinkled varieties should not
be panied till it is warmer, or they will rot. Sow in single or double rows from 13 to 3 feet apart, dropping a pea every
ine

ch and covering from 2 to 3 inches deep. For a succession sow every ten days up to July. Sow one quart to 50 feet
drilled; 14 to 2 bushels to an acre.

SWEET POTATOES.

CULTURE. Sweet potatoes should be started in a hot bed and, when the ground is warm and danger of frost past
the shoots are lifted carefully and planted in rows four feet apart and two feet in the row. They need considerable care
till well started, but after getting a good start, will grow easily. They should be cultivated quite often,moving the vines
to prevent from rooting at the joints. They must be harvested before frost.

To insure prompt filling of orders for sweet potatoes they must be engaged ahead. Standard weight of Sweet Pota-
toes 50 pounds per bushel; 125 pounds net per barrel.

Buyers will please note that owing to the tenderness of Sweet Potatoes we do not guarantee the safe ar-
rival of Sweet Potato Plants or Seeds; however, we use all precautions possible in packing and time of ship-
ping. Sweet Potatoes cannotjbe mailed. :

“PRIDE OF KANSAS.”

Grown alongside of all other varieties known to us, ‘‘Pride of Kansas’’ compares very favorably as to productive-
aess, outyielding every other sort,including the ‘‘ Yellow Jerseys,’’ which have the reputation of being the ‘‘best all-around.”’
The strongest point in favor of the ‘‘Pride of Kansas’’ is the excellent shape of the tubers. (See illustration.) While all
the other varieties end in a more or less long slim neck, this sort is rather blunt on both ends, the average specimen measur-
ing 8 inches in circumference in the middle, with 6 and 7 inches in circumference on either end. In the field we fre-
quently found 8 to 10 fine tubers in a single hill, weighing an average of 10 ounces each. The dish in the above illustration
contained six typical tubers, weighing 3? pounds, or slightly over 11 ounces apiece. The tubers are of superior appearance,
being of almost ideal shape, having an attractive russet-yellow skin, while the flesh is of a beautiful rich light salmon color.

CULTURE. Sow as early in the spring as the ground can be worked and every two weeks throughout the sea-
son, 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 of worms. During summer months, use summer or

This radish comes from the same gardener in Denver, who
originated the Denver Market Lettuce, and is a fine acquisition,

long radish of light pink color, white-tipped, of uniform
The flesh is transparent white, always crisp and brittle,

even if grown to a large size, and mild flavored. It is named
‘‘Glass Radish” on account of the fine transparency of the flesh.

The roots of this hardy and desirable variety are of a very brilliant deep
red, rich color, and half long with a somewhat tapering nvint; the flesh is very
white, crisp and tender, and holds its juiciness very well, not becoming pithy

Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 1-4 lb. 20c; lb. 60c
Early Scarlet Short Top.

This is undoubtedly the best standard variety for private garden and
market use. It grows 6 or 7 inches long, half out of the ground. It is very

of quick growth. Color bright scarlet; small top, tapers

regularly to the root, and is uniformly straight and smooth.

White Icicle. (Eiszapfen)

An entirely distinct long slender, pure white variety. It is without doubt
the earliest and finest long white Radish in existence. Ready for use fully as
early as Long Scarlet Short Top, with less foliage, rendering it most desirable
for forcing. Jn the open ground the roots continue brittle, crisp and mild until
they are fully as large as those of the LongBrightest Scarlet. The Icicle is per-
haps superior to the finest long red ones.Roots four inches in length and half
an ineh in diameter; they retain their crispness and fresh, mild flavor until fully
6 inches long and an inch in diameter.

Rhubarb or Pie Plant.

Ruibarbo. Rhabarber.

CULTURE. Rhubarb succeeds best in deep, somewhat re-
tentive 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.

Salsifi. Haferwurzel.

CULTURE. The Oyster Plant succeeds best in light, well-enriched soil, which previous 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 splendid variety grows to fully double the size of the old sort; is of superior quality and delicate flavor. The
Oyster Plant is one of the most nutritious and delicious vegetables and should be more generally cultivated for winter use,

when the supply of really good vegetables is limited.
No Market Gardener should fail to growit; it is a paying proposition. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c;1-41b. 40c; 1b. $1.50

Spinach.
Espinach.

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. ror summer use it may be sown
at intervals of 2 or 3 weeks from March to August. Spinach is best devel-
oped, most tender and succulent when grown in rich soil. One ounce to
100 feet drill; 10 to 12 pounds to an acre.

Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 1-4 lb. 15c; lb. 35c LONG STANDING SPINACH.

Long Standing.

An improved strain of excellent merit, having all the good qualities of the ordinary sorts; what renders it especially
desirable is the fact that it is much later going to seed than the average variety.

Prickly or Winter.

The hardiest variety, and will withstand the severest weather with only a slight protection of straw orjleaves.” The
seed is prickly; leaves triangular, oblong or arrow shape. It is the best for fall sowing, which in this latitudelis}]made
about the first of September. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 1-4 Ib. 15c;flb.#35c

This variety is generally preferred for early spring growing, and is popular with market gardeners. Leaves thick
and fleshy. Not quité so hardy as the prickly, but stands winter well. Pkt. 6c; oz. 10c; 1-4 lb. 15¢; Ib. 34c.

sions of six feet across, producing an abundance of thick, fleshy, juicy stems and leaves, which make an excellent Spin-

ach. The flavor is particularly fine, and the fact that it does very well throughout the hottest summer, makes it all the

more desirable. Every Market_Gardener should grow a crop where there is a market for Spinach. It is a money maker.

If disease appears repeat or use a weak Copper Sulphate Solution as often as needed.

THE BEAUTY TOMATO.

Earliana.

This is without'doubt the “earliest bright Red Tomato now in cultivation.’’ The tomatoes are deep scarlet,

and grow closely together in clusters of five to eight.

v hey are of medium size, smooth and solid. The plants are quite
hardy with rather slender open branches, developing an abundance of fine tomatoes.

The close dwarf habit of growth

makes it a very desirable variety where not much space can be wasted on varieties of more spreading and branching char-

acter,
when the highest prices are paid.

No market gardener should fail to grow this variety.

Two of the Finest Tomatoes Ever Introduced.

Kansas Standard.

The Kansas Standard belongs to the potato leaved
alass of tomatoes; is of rapid, vigorous growth, with
strong heavy stalks, which stand up well unless, which
is often the case, they are pulled down with over-’
abundant fruit. It begins blooming when only six
or seven inehes high, attains a height of from two ;
and a 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 produced in clusters of from four to five
tomatoes. In shape the fruitisround, slightly flattened,
a a: Rag to the stem, perfectly smooth. It has very
-~ seeds; the meat is thick and firm and of a most excellent

vor.

‘__ This tomato is a first rate keeper and shipper on account
of its tough skin, a fact which makes it also very resistable
against influences of insects, whieh are so destructive to other
varieties. Highly reeommended.

The Matchless.

For the past twenty years Matchless has been
the main crop variety, and in spite of many new
varieties, claiming superiority, has maintained its po-
sition as the finest large fruited, bright red va-
riety. The vines are of strong vigorous growth,
well set with fruit. The fruits are free from core, of

Za
a@ very rich cardinal red color and are not liable to crack from

wet weather. They are of very large size, and the size of the
fruit is maintained throughout the season until the vines are
killed by frost. The skin is remarkably tough and solid
and ripe specimens picked from the vines will keep in good
condition for several weeks. Our stoek of Matchless is ab-
solutely unsurpassed. It was grown in our immediate vi-
cinity and we have inspected the fields a good many times dur
ing the growing season. We were more than pleased with
the uniform appearance of the beautiful fruit and our grower
remarked more than once that it was the finest tomato he
had ever raised. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; 1-4 lb. 75c; lb. $2.50

The Trucker’s Favorite.

deserves the highest praise and recom- &
mendation. It is truly ‘‘the ‘‘Trucker’s

SS s Favorite.” Its fine, smooth, uniformly
shaped See command the highest market prices and
when once a market has found out the meritorious
characteristics of this splendid sort, it cannot do without
it.

The fruits are thick meated and very solid; the meat
is of the finest flavor, making the tomatoes equally
good for slicing and for cooking purposes. A basket of
these tomatoes is one of the most attractive sights on the
market table and parties offering them for sale will find
the demand larger than the supply. Be sure to enclose
this variety in your next order. You will want more

CULTURE. Turnips do best in highly
enriched, light, sandy or gravelly soil;com-
mence sowing the earliest varieties in April
in drills from 12 to 15 inches apart, and
thin out early to six or nine inches in rows.
For a succession sow at intervals of a
fortnight until the last week in July,
from which time until the end of August
sowing may be made for the fall and main
crop. One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill
one and one half pounds to an acre.

Five pounds of any variety not pre-
paid, at 15c. less per pound.

For feeding stock in fall or winter there
is nothing superior to turnips and ruta-
bagas as they are much liked by all kinds
of stock and serve to keep them in good
condition. We cannot too earnestly re-
commend farmers to increase their sow-
ings largely, for we are sure the crop will
prove remunerative.

full of meaning and importance to the farmers of
this great western country! Many pages have been
ii written, praising it, books have been filled, adver-

My LFALFA, a rather insignificant name and‘yet so

tising it, hence this will save us the trouble of doing
the same. We only want to sum up briefly its
its merits, its habits and cultivation, and the ben-
efits and good results derived from growing it.
ALFALFA has donemore to developthe western
portion of this country than any other riches of the
land. It has changed a great part of the American Desert
into rich green pasture, and has populated formerly unin-
habited places.

ALFALFA is grown more or less in every State of
the Union. Its use as a forage plant increases every year
and the crops of hay, which it produces, are adding im-
mensely to the wealth of the eountry. It will thrive well
in any kind of soil except where it is wet. It is a forage
plant for dry lands. In the driest and most sultry weath-
’ er, when every blade of grass
withers, Alfafa is as fresh and
green as in the Spring. The
reasons for this? Its roots
are penetrating deep into the
soil and are known to have
gone ten and twelve feet deep
in three years. These great
rooting qualities account for
its long life and rapid growth,
for it consumes food, mois-
ture and fertilizers entirely
beyond reach of ordinary plants.
It is a heavy feeder and one
would think that it exhausts
the ground. Nothing is more
erroneous than that. It is
a leguminous plant, will
enrich poor soil with the
humus of the decaying roots
and above all will store nitro-
gen into your ground, this \
greatest of nature’s fertilizers. yi a
Just consider this fact a min- RN

SM
: :

ute. Besides yielding from =
three to ten tons of hay to an " SSS
acre, it will store enough vi- :
tality into your ground to en-
able you to raise good crops
ef any kind of grain or veg-
etables. It is the cheapest
fertilizer any farmer can
have.

And with all of these advantages, these benefits
to the land and splendid crops on top of it, Alfalfa has only
one failure. It will not do well on wet land, and will let
the weeds get ahead of it. While in process of time Alfalfa
will kill out any other kind of grass, weeds easily get the
best of it while it is young. Mowing down the weeds from
time to time is the best remedy for that, and this will at the
same time be beneficial to the Alfalfa.

As tramping the crowns of the young plants would be
injurious, an alfalfa field should not be grazed the first year.
After two or three seasons the crowns of the roots are strong
enough to stand any amount of grazing.

We close what we have, to say about Alfalfa by
quoting the rather humorous words of a Chicago real estate
firm, which issues a pamphlet advertising Alfalfa Farms,
containing the words, ‘‘List your Alfalfa Farm with us and
we will sell it to some man, who doesn’t know any better
than enjoy seeing the sides of his barn bulging out:
his horses, cattie, sheep, goats and hogs fat; his wife
and children happy and contented and himself pros-
erous.”’

When are you going to get lyour share of such
crops and profits}

If not already grown in your locality, make a trial this
year.

The results will be very agreeable to you.

Golden Beauty. (110 days.)

The ears are of perfect shape, with from{ten to fourteen straight
cows of bright golden yellow grains, remarkable in size, and filled out
completely to the extreme end of the cob. The richness of color and
fine quality of grain make it vastly superior for grinding into meal. The
grains are not of a hard, flinty nature, neither are they so soft as to be
greatly shriveled. The ears are easily shelled, although the kernels are
firm on the ear, and in every respect present as perfect a type as could
possibly be had. Golden Beauty matures early, ripening in 90 to 110
days from planting, and surpasses all in size and beauty of grain.

Qt. 10c; 1-4 bu.'50c; bu. $1.50

(100 days.)

This is an entirely distinct variety amongst the white corn, com-
bining the largest grain with the smallest cob. A single grain will com™
pletely cover the cob of an ear broken in half. It is a great yielder:
giving more shelled corn toa given bulkof ears than any other*white va-
riety. It is satisfied with any kind of soil,and will produce, good strong
stalks, bearing two, and occasionally three,"good ears. Werecommend it
very highly. - - Qt. 10c; 1-4 bu. 50c; bu. $1.75

Hickory King.

Brazilian or Stooling Flour Corn. ij 3 = 8
This corn stools like wheat, each kernel producing from five to eight
stalks, each stalk bearing two to three ears five to seven inches in circum-
ference, nine to twelve inches in length, color beautiful white.- It is
the!best variety for ensilage. It yields four times more corn to?the’acre
than common corn, and more bushels in shelled corn. It contains a
much larger quantity of starch than any other corn, and ground and bolt-
ed by the same process as wheat, gives a finer flour that will make
bread, biscuits, etc.as that made of wheat flour; also used largely for
roasting ears. Plant two kernels to the hill, thin to one, and cultivate
like other corn. Two quarts will plant one acre.

basis of agricultural prosperity, 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

Grasses—Continued.
Italian Rye.

Surpasses the perennial rye grass in earliness, nutrition
and rapid growth. Indispensible for alternating. Lasts
only two years, and of no use for permanent pastures. Par-
ticular as to soil, a moist, tenacious, fertile, and of medium
consistency being considered best. On such it is consid_
ered one of the best grasses cut green. Sow 30 to 40 lbs, to
the acre. Lb. 10c

Fancy Red Top. (Agrostis vulgaris.)

A valuable grass for moist soils, It is a good permanent
grass, standing our climate as well as any other, and conse-
quently 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 clean seed. Sow 15 to 20 pounds clean
seed to the acre. Lb. 20c

Meadow Fescue or English Blue Grass.
(Festuca pratensis.) :

Especially adapted forpermanent pas-
ture. Grows 2 to 3 feet high, but not in tufts
like orchard grass. Earliest and most nu-
tritious of grasses. Makes good hay, and
cattle thrive on it, whether in dry or green
state.- Succeeds even on poor soil, and as the
roots penetrate deeply from 12 to 15 inches
it takes extremely dry weather to affect it.
Will stand more freezing than any other va-
riety, and yields an abundant crop of seed.
Heretofore has been sown to but a limited ex-
tent,but area is rapidly increasingeach year.
Sow.15 to 20 lbs. per acre. Lb. 20¢

Timothy. (Phleum pratense.)

As a crop for hay, Timothy is probably
unsurpassed by any other kind of grass. It
is greatly relished by all kinds of stock, es-
pecially horses; yields more nutritive matter
than any other forage plant or grass. Be-
ing 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

to the acre.

Perennial English Rye. (Lolium perenne.) **

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 rea-
sonably well. We have reports of its success in the extreme
north and as far south as Mexico City. In the far west,
also in Old Mexico, it is used extensively for lawns. Our
new crop is carefully cleaned, and may be depended on.
For pasture sow in spring 25 to 30 pounds to the acre. For
lawns 60 to 70 pounds to the acre. Lb. 10c

Orchard Grass. Dactylis glomerata.)

No farmer should be without a small field of Orchard
Grass as in many respects it is 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 out fields
from washing. This grass furnishes excellent pasture three
weeks before any other and after close grazing ten days’ rest
is sufficient for another growth. Cows fed on this will pro-
duce more and richer milk than on blue grass. It makes a
very heavy sod and when well set remains for many years.
It is especially adapted for winter grazing, as it remains green
all season. It is well suited to sow mixed with alfalfa; an
average of 12 lbs. Orchard to 6 to 8 lbs. alfalfa seed. Sow 20
to 25_Ibs. per acre. Lb. 20c

Tall Meadow Oat. (Avena elatior.)’

The roots of this grass descend deeply into the sub-soil
enabling it to withstand a protracted 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. b. 20c

valuable forage grass in all localities where arid soils demand
a plant with ability to stand the drouth. Stands intense
cold equally well. May be sown in autumn with winter
wheat, or in early spring. In southern states sow in Feb-
ruary or March, preparing lands as for other grasses. Blooms
in north in June, and earlier in southern states.

Its nature is to stool out, and thus does not show its best
until the second season. It seldom produces seed the first
year. Aside from alfalfa no grass has fulfilled the promise
to our western farmers better than the Bromus Inermis. It
meets drouth as well as wet and cold, and for Kansas we
know of no grass to equal it. Many of our large ranchers
are planting it extensively.

For hog pasture a mixture of Bromus Inermis and
Alfalfa, where the latter succeeds well, is recommended by
Prof. Ten Eyck, of the Kansas State Agricultural Experi-
ment station, and he also suggests for large pastures for
cattle a mixture of the following per acre: Bromus Inermis
10 Ibs; Orchard grass 6 lbs; Meadow Fescue 8 lbs; Red Clover
1 or 2 lbs. added to the mixture. For worn out pastures he
advises adisc early in the spring, following with a harrow,

_| and sow Bromus Inermis on the land, putting most on places
where native grasses are most killed out. Per lb. 15c

If you want your pasture fields to look nice and green, and if you want them to yield heavy, use a top-

dressing of raw Bone Meal.- You will be surprised

Wild Rice. (Zizania Aquatica.)

An annual which sows itself in the fall, about the middle of September, lies dormant in the 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 AnEESE or early in September. It should be planted
broadcast from a _ boat, early in the fall before the seeds get dry, and before the ice forms in one to three feet of water having
2 mud bottom. If the water is over four feet deep, or if it is stagnant, it does not doas well as when the water is mov-
ing gently. As an attraction for wild fowl it can not be equalled, and it is largely used on private shooting grounds to at-
tract water fowls. In large ponds and lakes it purifies the water, affords a refuge for the small fry from the large fish as wel]
as furnishing the small fry with plenty of food from the animalculea upon the stalks; for planting in ponds it is equally desir-
able. It also does well along the shores of marshes, and makes a good hay. In the south two crops can be cut, and al]

All the following species of sorghum bear dry weather well. When conamon corn will wholly fail for want of rain
at a certain stage these plants simply stop and wait for the rain, and then go and make their full crop. In weight of
grain they will make more per acre than the same land will make corn. Some mills have been grinding the grain for flour
with good success, In the way of dry forage they give enormous returns, at a cost less than the cost of gathering alone
of corn fodder.. The cultivation is as simple as that of corn. They will grow on any land where corn will, even on land too
poor forcorn. Assoon as the seed begin to glaze commence to cut and shock.

Red Kaffir Corn.

This grows taller than the white;the stalks are more slen-
der but more juicy and very leafy. The heads are long, slender
compact, and grow erect; they measure from 1 to 2 feet. The
seed is red, smaller than that of the white, and rather hard
and brittle. It does well on poor land and yields well. It
ripens alittleearlierthan thewhite vareity,and yields much
heavier. It is highly recommended by the Kansas Agricul-
tural college at Manhattan Lb. 5c; 100 lbs. $2.00

White Kaffir Corn.

' It grows from 4 to 5 feet high, making a straight upright
growth. It has a strong stem with enormous leaves. The
stalks keep green and are brittle, making excellent fodder
either green or dried, which is highly relished by cattle and
horses. The 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 to one bushel, either broadcast or
in_drills. Lb. 5c; 100 lbs. $2.00

Jerusalem Corn. (White Durra.)

It is pronounced the best and surest grain crop for dry countries
and seasons, even better than Kaffir Corn, Dourrha and Milo Maize.
It grows about five 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 plant. The grains are pure white and nearly flat.
Three pounds will plant one acre. Lb. 10c; 100 lbs. $4.00

Brown Dourrha. (Durra.)

Similar to the Jerusalem Corn. Grain same size and shape, but
of brown color instead of white, astheJerusalem corn. It withstands

A Wonderful Yielder of High-Grade Syrup—300 to 400 Gallons per acre
is a Fair Average.

The Gooseneck Sorghum is the tallest and heaviest, but also the latest variety in cultivation, requiring from 130 to 140
days to reach maturity. It grows magnificent strong stems, usually 8 to 10 feet tall, and at the base from 1 to2 inches in
diameter. The lower part of the stalk is usually of reddish color resembling in this respect the genuine sugar cane.
The leaves are very large, producing an abundance of valuable fodder for the live steok. The seed heads are com-
pact, black and sometimes goosenecked, both goosenecked and straightnecked plants being found in the same fields.

The greatest characteristic. however, of the ‘‘Seeded Ribbon Cane’’ is as mentioned before, its production of fine syr-
up. We have many enthusiastic reports from farmers who have experimented with this variety extensively, and who are
full of praise, recommending us to distribute it as widely as possible.

: As to its culture, it grows the same as other varieties of cane. If planted by hand, 6 to 8 pounds will sow an acre;
if a planter be used, sow 8 to 10 pounds. Plant in rows 34 to 4 feet apart; keep the field clean form weeds by frequent
cultivation, and when the young plants are tall enough, hill them up with a turning plow. The tall growth of the ‘‘Seeded
Ribbon Cane’’ requires some protection against high winds, hence the advice to hill it up good.

- We are headquarters for the seed of this fine variety. We offer Kansas grown seed, grown from the original stock
obtained in Texas.
' Prices: Per lb. 25c. postpaid. By express, not prepaid, per lb. 10c; 25 lbs. $2.00; per 100 lbs. $5.00. Prices
on larger quantities on application.

Fodder or Forage Sorghum. Cane seed is now also largely grown for stock feeding. It yields heavily. It can
be raised anywhere, and is sown extensively in dry sections., where tame grass cannot be sown readily. Cattle, horses,
and sheep relish it greatly on account of its sweetness. For forage sow 50 lbs. per acre. Market price.

BROOM CORN.

There are many farmers who make this a most profitable crop. One acre will produce about 500 ewt. of brush and
nearly 40 busehls of seed, which is equal in value almost to oatsfor 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 farm-
ers should grow Broom Corn for market. It is profitable. Frequently planted in drills 34 feet apart, leaving plants 6 inches
apart; 10 to 20 pounds to an acre.

California Golden. An excellent standard variety, grows a very fine brush of good length, and is free from the large
center stem. Bleaches very evenly, even in the sun. Lb. 5c

Improved Evergreen. 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 will not get red in the field before it is cut, but is
strietly a green variety of brush, commanding high price. Lb. 5c

The Oklahoma Dwarf Broom Corn. Orignated in Oklahoma. Most valuable strain grown here and in the south-
west. Quite distinct from all others in earliness. Of robust habit and extreme productiveness; brush long and well fiber-
ed and is a drouth resister. On new breaking it does splendidly, leaving ground in prime order for fall wheat crop, only
slight discing needed to prepare for seeding. Averages five feet in height, making it convenient for pulling brush. Is a great
yielder; one of our Oklahoma growers reports several fields yielding 1 to 3 tons fine long brush. Seeds may be left to —
on brush without injury to latter, removing danger to heating from immature seeds in bins. Stalks make excellent fodder
if cut at once after brush is pulled. Lh. Es

Soy Beans. They are erect growing, with from one to six stems or more
branching out from near the ground and reaching a height of from one and a half

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 «ne to four
beans, the usual number being three. The Soy Bean is a remarkable drouth re-
sister, and will do comparatively 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. 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. If sown broad cast use one-half to one bushel per acre.

Positively the earliest Oats in Cultivation.

Two years ago we procured a small car load of this va-
riety from Nebraska, it being reeommended to us by the Ne-

yields. The grains run heavy. It is a type suited for mak-
ing oat meal. Every farmer should take into consideration
the fact that earliness, heavy grain and heavy yield even on
dry land is the oat for the west.

Description. The plant is a vigorous but not a rank
grower. The straw is short and on the same land it stands
shorter than any other oats tested. The leaves are very
broad, and expose a large surface. The panicles are spread-

We would like to dedicate this part of the catalog to the Ladies, call the part containing the Flower

“The Women’s Department.”’

While we like the man of the house to look after the things useful and necessary (such as vegetables,
corn, etc.) THE BEAUTIFYING OF THE HOME and its surroundings is and always will be a matter
of special interest to the mother of the girls.

We invite all our customers of the fairer sex to cooperate with us in this matter. We like you to ask
us questions as to “how you could decorate this corner” or that “particular spot’, how to. make at-
tractive garden beds and what certain flowers you could use for special occasions.

In this manner we shall have many chances to give you correct advice, which would help to make
your work successful. You will profit by our manifold experiences along these lines and reduce cases of

failure to a minimum.
With best wishes for a season of flowers and blossoms, we remain,

General Culture For Flower Seeds.

The soil for a flower garden, should be made light, porous and rich, by adding plenty of well-rotted manure on light
poor soils, and plenty sand on sticky and heavy ones. It should be dug up deeply, made very loose and fine by the con-
stant use of the rake, and as level as possible, 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 smoth-
ered under 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

Owers are due to too deep sowing and lack of water at the proper time. As flower seeds in general, are sown shallow,
light but frequent sprinklings are all that is needed. It is no use to have the water reach three or four inches deep when the
seeds are only $ 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. . f c

A good way to know how deep to sow flower seeds is to cover the seed from three to four 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 onetime, as some tropical kinds, such as the Portulaca (moss-rose) require a warmer temper-
ature to start growing and must be planted only when the ground is real warm. Germination also varies with different
kinds, some spreuting in 8 to 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—Which generally do not bloom until the second year and then die. woke

3. Perennials—Which bloom the second season, but last several years and may be propagated by the division 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.

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.

Useful, Simple Garden Tools.

an Every person who cultivates even a few flowers has use for the small tools. A garden trowel is indispensible, and a
good, substantial trowel is worth many of the cheap frail ones. Our Garden Trowel will last a lifetime. Price 30c, by
mail 35c. The Lang’s Hand Weeder is one of the most popular hand tools, being the best of its class. Having a leath-
er strap on the handle you can carry it on two fingers and have the freedom of the hand to pick up weeds, ete. Price only

25c, postpaid.

New French “Chamaeleon.” (See Illustration.)

This new Nasturtium is a most remarkable advance
in this brilliant family. We find that in richness and va-
riety of color it surpasses any other strain, and is also uni-
que in bearing flowers of quite distinct coloring on one
and the same plant—some clear deep crimson, others
blotched on light ground and others beautifully mottled.
This characteristic as well as wonderful richness of the
unusual markings, has been fixed in both the tall and
dwarf forms. 4-2. 07. 15CH0Z2.-25C. 3. iin

This is the most brilliant and showy variety, differ-

flowers are of the deepest and richest glowing scarlet, com-
paratively small in size, but of most distinct form. It is
also desirable as a trailing vine for planting in hanging bas-

Pansies—Continued.

Triumph cf the Giants.

The imposing five-spotted flow-
ers are frum 24 to 3 inches in diam-
eter, perfectly round in form and
borne on long, graceful stems, a de-
cided advantage over the old short-
stemmed sorts. The plants are of
eompact form, building perfectly
round bushes, with strikingly pretty
foliage. The beauty of these plants
being covered over with flowers
of brilliant and rich colors, cannot
be surpassed by any other dwarf-
growing annual.

ICELAND POPPIES.

Iceland Poppies.

The delicate fragrant flowers are exceedingly beaut-
iful, and with their long stems are well suited for cutting.
The plants are perfectly hardy, easily cultivated, and
the lovely flowers are in bloom from early summer until
sens Hardy, perennial, blomming the first year from
seed.

Oriental Hybrid Poppies. (Papaver orientale

For brilliancy of coloring there is nothing to equal
these oriental poppies. The flowers are of enormous size,
often measuring over 6 inches in diameter, while the col-
ors range from soft flesh and rose to the most brilliant
dazzling scarlet, and richest maroon purple. Their cul-
ture is as simple as that of the common garden poppies.
One of their most valuable qualities is that they are per-
fectly hardy perennials, living through winter with
but little protection and inecreasing in size and beauty
from year to year.

These are perhaps the most desirable of all house

every year. Give them a long time for growth before
flowering, and do not force the young plants, but sim-

Sweet Peas.

We are headquarters for strictly high grade Sweet Pea seed. Our growers give special attention to select-
ing and cleaning. We have orders from all parts of the United States for our ‘‘selected strains’’, which are
furnished at prices within the reach of all and as low as the ordinary stocks are priced by many.

CULTURE. Sweet Pea delights in a soil inclined to
be clayey, and, as the little beauty is a gross feeder, 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 failures are caused by manuring in the spring,
for the reason that all pea vines like a moist ground, and
the heat originated by the manure combined with 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 as 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
two rows dropping one every inch or two; then cover with
two inches of soil, gradually filling the trench as they grow.
One side has to be a little lower to allow the surplus water
to drain off. Flowers must be picked every day if you
want them to bloom all through the summer. Bone dust

and nitrate of soda will hasten the time of flowering.

plete treatise on Culture of Sweet Peas 10 cents postpaid.

CARNATIONS.

The popularity of the Carnation is on the increase very rapidly. Next to Roses the Carnation is much sought after
The flower buyers have evidently learned to appreciate the many charms. which the Carnation possesses. We offer-a choice
selection of the very best varieties. Price, each 12c; three for 30c; postage paid.

Boston Market. A remarkably free flowering white variety. By commercial growers in many sections it is be-
ing grown to the exclusion of all other white varieties. Can be depended upon for good-sized, nicely-shaped bloom in pro-
fusion. Stem, form and habit of growth excellent. Color, ivory white.

Cardinal. A bright crimson with flowersof enormous size. This new Carnation has taken several prizes in the
latest shows. It is a strong grower indoor as well as out. It is an early producer and increases in quantity as late as July.

Eldorado. Light clear yellow, petals edged with a narrow band of light pink. A strong, vigorous grower with -
fine healthy foliage; stems of good length, supporting large, finely formed flowers. The color shows up well under artificial
light, and does not look white, as so many yellows do.

Enchantress. This is truly a queen among Carnations on account of its immense size, magnificent color, fine long

stem, and early, free and continuousblooming habit. The color is a beautiful shade of light silvery pink, deepening to-
ward the center. The flower is enormous—three and a half to four inches in diameter. It does not burst the calyx at
any season. It is an ideal grower, very healthy and of vigorous constitution. ;
i - Mrs. Thomas Lawson. No plant, of whatever kind, has ever received so much description and free advertis-
ing by the newspapers of the whole country as this sensational Carnation. which is said to have been sold for thirty thou-
sand dollars. The size is enormous, stems stiff. It is free in growth, very free in bloom. Of strong, healthy constitution,
and of a true pink color. Altogether a Twentieth Century Carnation. ;

Every year about the middle of August, we publish a Special Bulb Catalog of Hyacinths, Tulips, Narcissus,
and other winter flowering bulbs.- Be sure to ask for it.

ae CULTURE. The Rose, righty called the Queen of Flowers, being a very heavy feeder, should be planted in a soil
made as rich as possible and not too wet. Before planting incorporate in the soil, when digging the hole, a shovel of
well-rotted manure and set your plant about one inch deeper than originally planted spreading the roots and pressing the
ground firmly about them. Plant the bedding kinds about 14 feet apart, while the elimbers are set from 3 to 4 feet
apart. The best time to plant them is in April and May. During the summer months 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 andidirt heaped around them. A good dressing of old man-
ure 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 the 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 leaves. The plants should be sprinkled thor-

oughly before applying the powdered insecticides.
HYBRIDIPERPETUAL ROSES.

These roses are hardy, requiring but little if any protec-
tion over winter. Their flowers are the largest and finest of
any class of roses; they improve greatly in quality and quan-
tity of bloom under care and should be well. pruned each

Tree Seeds. 222e: 2s S0sRs are
ree OCCaS. sient.

The growing of forest trees is in the case of some varieties, a very simple and easy process, requiring but little care

or skill on the part of the grower. Other varieties require special treatment and great care and attention to insure success

_ while some are very dificult to grow, and with such planters are not very likely to suceed until after having made repeated
failures. One important fact in connection with this subject must always be kept in view, and that is, it takes time for
these seeds to germinate; in some cases only few days in others several weeks, while quite frequently they will lie dormant
the whole season before commencing to grow. It often happens that seeds of a given variety, all taken from the tree at one
time, sown together and subjected to the same treatment, will show great irregularity in time of 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 seed should be kept in perfectly dry sand until the time of sowing; if this
cannot be done readily, place them inacooldry spot, where mice will not eat them. Chestnuts and walnutsshouldbe planted
in the fall, or kept during the winter in sand and moss; they shrivel up by too long exposure to air and many of them loose
their power of germination entirely. Apple, pear and Quince seed, Cherry pits, alsothose with hard shells like the Locust,
Magnolias, etc., should be placed in boxes with sand and exposed to the frost before planting, otherwise they may not germin-
ate until the 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 exception can be planted from the end of March to the middle of May with great success.

THE SOIL should be deep, rich and mellow. If not rich, apply a good liberal dressing of any old well-decom-
posed manure; mix thoroughly with the soil, rake all down smooth and level and your seed bed is ready. Now draw a
line across one side of the plat, and 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 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.

REAT CARE must be taken not to give too much water, as the young plants imbibe water 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 used in cultivation. Keep
the soil loose between the rows, and keep them well clear of weeds. Beets 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
air to circulate freely. Allow the young plants to remain from one to two years before transplanting.

Hardy Catalpa. Of all the trees that have been sug-
gested as adapted to the formation of timber plantations,
the Catalpa stands pre-eminent. Its exceedingly rapid
growth; its adaptation to most all soils and situations; its
wide range of latitude; its extraordinary success on the west-
ern and northern prairies; the ease and certainty with which
it is transplanted;the strong vitality and freedom from dis-
ease and insects; the incomparable value of its timber; the
most impersihable nature of the wood when used for posts,
railroad cross ties, and other exposed situations, and the un-
rivalled beauty of its flowers, all point to the Catalpa as the
tree to plant. The yearling Catalpa should be cut off above
the ground; it will then insure a straight and stronger growth

Russian Mulberry. Said to be the most valuable for
our climate. It is largely planted by the Mennonites in the
Arkansas valley, mostly for the silk culture. It is easilv cul-
tivated, hardy, a good grower, and if kept in dwarf form
will make a fine hedge. The berries of the Russian Mulberry
are good for desert. The tree makes good fence posts after
five years’ growth, and eventually make splendid lumber for
cabinet work. * - - - + Pkt. 5c; 02. 35c; lb. $3.00

Yellow or Black Locust. This variety is noted for its
rapid growth of hard and durable timber. It is hardy and
succeeds well in many parts of the country, while in some
localities it proves a failure. It is worthy of a trial in any
localities where it has not already ben tested. ag

Honey Locust. This is a large and handsome tree,
the trunk and branches generally set with long and form-
idable spines, on which account it has been employed as a
hedge plant. The wood is heavy and affords excellent fuel,
but is not considered durable as timber. Has done well in
our state wherever planted. Seeds ought to be sealded be-

Osage Orange. A native from Texas, but has been gen-
erally introduced over the country because of its extensive
employment as a hedge plant. The best way to prepare the
seed for planting is to soak it in a running creek until it
commences sprouting, then plant it like any other seed.
Another way to sprout it is by putting it in a vessel, and cov-
ering it daily with warm water, until the sprouts come up.

Sprayers, Insecticides, Fertilizers, Etc.

THE LITTLE'ASPINWALL.

‘ The best low priced tin sprayer on the market. It throws a spray as fine’as’steam, and is very useful for applying
Liquid Lice Killer in cracks and crevices about the poultry house, roosts, nests, boxes, etc., also about the hog pens. It is
more economical of the insecticide than a paint brush, or other means of application. For applying insecticides on rose
bushes, shrubs, etc., it is unequalled. rice 75c.

“KANT KLOG” ROCHESTER SPRAYER.

, A slight pressure of the thumb starts the spray. Remove it and the 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,

6
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 bot-
tom. When completed this body is tested under double pressure formerly used so ena-

bling 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 off. 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.

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 with-
out 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 agitates the
solution and charges the sprayer with compressed air. This being a very powerful
.and elastic 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 for this splendid machine the first month it is used, to say
nothing of the big increase in crops as a result of spraying properly.

SLUG’SHOT, AN INFALIBLE INSECTICIDE. rg ‘‘Kant-Klog,”’ Style G.

What is Slug Shot? Slug Shot isanimpalpable powder, a combination of insecticides, poisonous to insects
preying upon vegetaiton, and withal an excellent fertilizer affecting nearly all classes of insect life, so that they either die or
leave for parts unknown. It kills potato bugs in all stages of their growth, but not the eggs. It kills the black fleas on cab-
bages, turnips, beets, radishes, and egg plants. Apply by dusting over the plants. It kills the cabbage worm and also the
currant and gooseberry worm, the aphis or green fly on roses and other flowers. Has prevented the ravages of the curculio .
and canker worm on fruit trees; has likewise been used around beans, melons, squashes, ete., to the detriment of the ray-
ages of the cut worms. Keeps the stripped bugs from all vine crops. Hammond’s Slug Shot, price per 5 lbs. 40c; 10

‘‘Planet Jr.’’ No. 8 Horse Hoe and Cultivator.

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 leverwheel and the new patented depth regulator which is moved
instantly in unison by a single lever, making exact work, steadying the machine and relieving the operator.

The Expander. This is an entirely new pattern, superior to all other forms, exceedingly strong, simple, accurate, and
positive in all positions.

Handles and Braces. These are also new and the most effective and stiffest combination known, at once mak-
ing the tool rigid, yet allowing every adjustment of handles in height and sidewise.

The Reversable Side Hoes. 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 closely that an immense
amount of hand labor is avoided. Oe,

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