The first round-podded Wax Bean we have ever found possessing the excellent market and
other shipping qualities of the popular Wardwell’s Kidney Wax. The plant grows tall, strong and
sturdy, with long, round, handsome stringless pods of large size, very solid, and full of meat, crisp;
brittle and free from rust. 15 cts. pt.; 25 cts. qt.

15, cts: pt.; 25 cts:. qt.
BEAN—WHITE SICKLE POLE.
Similar to Kentucky Wonder, except that the dry beans are white, more slender and curved
and the pods are a little more slender than those of that variety. We think this sort an improve-
ment over the Kentucky Wonder in that it has the advantage of a White seed and so does not discolor
in cooking. 20 cts. pt.; 30 cts. qt. BEAN—LAZY WIFE POLE.
The pods are produced in great abundance and measure from 4 to 6 inches in length; they are
broad, thick, very fleshy and entirely stringless. The pods retain their rich, tender and stringless
qualities until nearly ripe, and are unsurpassed in all stages. Each pod contains 6 to 8 round, white
beans, which make excellent winter shell beans. 15 cts. pt.: 25 cts. at.
BEAN—-KENTUCKY WONDER, O& OLD HOMESTEAD.
We can recommend this as one of the earliest and most satisfactory of all Green Podded Pole
Beans, and unsurpassed for using in the green state. It is enormously productive; the long, silvery
green pods hanging in great clusters from top to bottom of the pole. This is the best and

thicker than the original strain, quite as early, of better
color and quality, besides being smoother We have no
hesitation in pronouncing this the best early Beet yet
offered. 10c 0z.; 25 cts. 14 lb.; 70 cts. pound.
BEET, DETROIT DARK RED TURNIP.
Its small upright-growing tops, early maturing and
the splendid shape and color of the roots make it popular

der and sweet. 10 cts. oz.; 20 cts. 14 lb.; 60 cts. lb.

growing kinds. The quality is very fine. 20 cts. oz.; 65
cts. 4 Ib.
CABBAGE, LOUISVILLE EARLY DRUMHEAD.
Originated in this market and is now the principal
market variety and can not be surpassed. Early heads of
very large size and very solid, the best and surest heading
for all purposes, and will stand the entire summer without

quality. 20 cts. oz.; 50 cts. 4 lb.; $1.75 lb.
CABBAGE, EARLY SPRING (THE EARLIEST FLAT
HEADED VARIETY. ;

it in habit and growth, but is smaller and is nearly as early
as the Wakefield. It is round in shape, slightly flattened,
very solid, even before the cabbage attain their mature
size. 20 cts. oz.; 50 cts. 4% lb.; $1.75 lb.

long; quality good: 15 cts. pt.; 25 cts. qt.

the young plants withstand slight frosts, while the other
varieties are tender and the seeds will rot if planted before
the soil becomes warm. The stalks grow about five feet
high, and are very vigorous, generally bearing two well-
developed ears toa stalk. 15 cts. pt.; 25 cts. qt.
CORN, WHITE EVERGREEN.
This valuable sugar Corn is a distinct improvement
over the old Stowell’s Evergreen. It produces handsome
ears, well filled with deep grains of pure snowy whiteness,
and of the most delicious sweetness. 15 cts. pt.; 25 cts. qt.
CORN, OHIO MONARCH.
A cross between the well-known “Mammoth” and
Stowell’s Evergreen, it resembles the former in size of ear,
but is fully 12 days earlier. Like the Evergreen, it has a
deep grain and the advantage of remaining a long time in
the green state, but far supersedes that standard variety in
productiveness. 15 cts. pt.; 25 cts. qt.
CORN, ZIG ZAG EVERGREEN.
This variety of Evergreen Sweet Corn is one of the best
for private use, market gardeners and canners. It is of .
extra quality, very sweet and juicy in the green state, If

is superior to that well-known variety in sweetness and
flavor. 15cts. pt.; 25 cts. qt.
CORN, COUNTRY GENTLEMAN.
The ears are of
good size and pro-
duced in great
abundance, bear-
ing three to four
good ears to a
stalk. The cob is
very small, giving
great depth to the
kernels, which are
of pearly white-
ness. But the
great merit of the
Country Gentle-
man Corn is its
delicious quality.
It is without
doubt, the sweet-
est and most ten-
der of all sweet
corn, and at the
same time with
ears of good size.

As is well known to many persons, Mr. Davis is the

tuce. His perfect Cucumber is not only an ideal green-
house variety, but a profitable one for truck gradeners to

improved that it fully bears out our claim as the earliest,
most prolific and even strain in existence, maturing so well
together that sometimes a single picking will secure the
entire crop. Vines, vigorous and hardy, 2 to 2% feet high,
bearing abundantly. Market gardeners, who can not
afford to go over the rows several times for small quanti-
ties of pods, will do well to give this strain a trial. 15 cts.

PEA, LONG ISLAND MAMMOTH.

This splendid variety of radish originated here and
has been grown for a number of years by a few of our larg-
est market gardeners. They guarded the seed as though it
was so much gold, and it was only after several years that
we succeeded in getting a small quantity. Since then we
have grown it ourselves and have been most careful to keep
it up to its original high standard. It hasa very short top,

Mt Grass Seed
We have made the subject of lawns a study for many
years, and this mixture has been prepared and sold by us in
all parts of the country, giving general satisfaction.
In making a lawn great care should be taken to use
only the very best quality of lawn seed so as to pro-
duce a soft, velvety, evergreen sod, that will withstand
cutting and heat of summer and the severe cold of Winter.
It is not made of annual grasses for a quick show, or of the
chaffy, light weight seed sold by some seedsmen at cheap
prices. Our mixture is not surpassed by any of the cele-
brated brands in the country. A pound of our mixture
will sow about 300 square feet. Quantity of seed required
to sow an acre (43,650 square feet.) For new lawns, not
less than 4 bu.; for renovating old lawns, from 2 to 3 bu.
First quality, per lb., 25 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.00; 1 bu. (16 lbs. )
$3.00. ;
Ij to go by mail, add to the above prices 10 cts. per Ib.
for postage.
OUR LAWN GRASS MIXTURE FOR SHADY SITUATIONS
On nearly all lawns there are shaded, bare and un-
sightly spots on which the owners have difficulty in getting
a stand of grass. For such places this mixture is adapted.
It is composed of dwarf-growing grasses which are found
naturally growing in such places. Should the ground have
become ‘‘sour,’”’ or drainage defective, it is apt to be cover-
with moss. If such is the case, apply “Grub Killer’ to
sweeten it, after first removing the moss, then rake
thoroughly and sow the seed at the rate of not less than
4 bushels per acre. Per lb., 30 cts.; 4 lbs. $1.00; bu.
(16 lb. ) $3.50.
Ij to go by mail, add to the above prices 10 cents per Ib.
for postage.
TERRACE MIXTURE.
A mixture of grasses with long interlacing, matting
roots, that will bind steep embankments, gravelly or sandy
slopes, etc., preventing washouts by rainstorms and cover-
ing with permanently green turf. Per lb., 30 cts.; 4 lbs.
$1.00; 1 bu. of 16 lbs., $3.50. By mail 10 cts. per Ib.

Per lb., 20 cts.; 5 lbs.,
By mail, 10c. per lb.
PUTTING-GREEN MIXTURE.
A mixture of extra fine grasses, that will make a
close, firm, green and lasting turf, which will improve with
trampling. Per lb., 30 cts.; 4 Ibs. $1.00; 1 bu. of 16 lbs.,
$3.50. By mail, 10c. per lb. extra.
GRUB KILLER (AN INSECTICIDE. )
During the summer large patches of lawns die out
without apparent cause, and upon investigation find that
it is caused by White Grubs killing the grass. To remedy
this evil, we offer “Grub Kuller,’’ a combination of chemi-
cals which destroys the grub worms and ants and pre-
vents the growth of moss, also sweetens sour ground.
Apply broadcast at the rate of about 200 or 300 pounds per
acre. Never use stable or vegetable manure, as same is
filled with eggs of the grubs. 10 Ibs., 40 cts.; 35 lbs,
$1.00; 50 Ibs., $1.25; 100 Ibs., $2.00.
CREEPING BENT GRASS (AGROSTIS STOLONIFERA. )
Particularly valuable for lawns that are to be used as
croquet and tennis grounds because it is benefitted more
than hurt by trampling, and by its bright color adds to the
beauty of the lawn. Lb. 25 cts.; 100 Ibs., $20.00.
RHODE ISLAND BENT GRASS (AGROSTIS CANINA. )
A valuable perennial for lawns and pasturage. Much
like Red Top, though smaller. Thrives on light, dry soils
as well as on rich, moist ones. For lawn purposes, if
used alone, it should be sown at the rateof about forty
pounds per acre; for pasture, if used alone, twenty-four
pounds peracre. Lb., 25 cts., 100 lbs., $17.00.
CANADA FIELD PEAS.
Grown with Oats makes a fodder or hay which doubles the
production of milk.
&= They should be sown in March or early April, two
bushels of peas and two bushels of oats to the acre. The
peas should be sown first and plowed under about 4 inches
deep; the oats then sowed and harrowed in. They will be
ready for cutting about the latter end of June when the oats
are in milk and the pods formed on the peas. Prices varia-
ple, but always as low as the market will permit.
COW PEAS.
The Great Soil Renovator.
The Growing Crop Makes Poor Land Rich and Rich Land
Better, at the Same Time Producing a Large
Amount of Forage for Green or Dry Feed.
Cow Peas afford excellent midsummer pasturage, but
tbe best way for using green is to cut and feed to stock.
For hog posture, turn in just as the peas are ripening; hogs
will then eat both vines and peas, and will put on fat rap-
idly. For hay, cut when the last pods are formed, wilt,
make into winrows, leave 1 or 2 days, then put in small
cocks a week or ten days till thoroughly cured. Do not
forget the Southern Cow Pea belongs to the Bean family
and must not be planted until the ground is warm, in this
latitude, about May 10th; from then to the last of June, or
even later, if wanted for green feed. Plow the ground deep
and harrow well, sow broadcast, 134 pushel per acre or
drill 16 to 18 inches apart, 114 bushels peracre. They will
grow well on almost all soils not too wet. Leading varie-
ties. Write for prices.

FARM AND FIELD SEED SPECIALTIES.
AWNLESS BROME GRASS ROMUS , INERMIS. ).
Will stand long droughts and produce heavy crops in
dry sections where other grasses would perish. It has
also proved one of the hardiest grasses. Will succeed ina
wider range of temperature than any other grass. (10 Ibs.
per bu.) Lb., 20 cts.; 100 Ibs., $13.00.
BEARDLESS SPRING BARLEY.
The earliest Barley known, being fully a week or ten
days earlier than any other barley. Height same as com-
mon barley, but better straw and will stand upon any land.
A good yielder, six rowed. Ripens early, thus admitting
of a second crop. Price, lb., 20 cts.; per bu., $1.50.
SPELTZ (EMMER. ) j
Recently introduced into this country from Russia,
where its value as a cereal has long been esteemed. Very
heavy crops of it have been reported from many sections
of the country. It appears to do better than any other
grain crop on poor, thin soil, and in the extremely dry sea-
sons. It is eaten greedily by all kinds of stock, including
poultry, and its feeding qualities are said to be excellent.
A very fair flour is made from it. Sow broadcost same as
oats, using about 75 lbs. to acre. Lb., 10 cents.; 10 Ibs.,
30 cts.; bu. of 40 Ibs., $1.00; 100 Ibs., $2.00.
TURKESTAN ALFALFA.
A variety of Alfalfa from Central Asia. It was first
sent out by the Department of Agriculture about eight
years ago, and has been widely tested throughout the
United States with general satisfaction. Its great point
of merit is its hardiness. In Turkestan, where the seed
grows, the winters are very cold and the summers dry and
hot; so it is able to stand the greatest extremes of cold and
heat. This year we are able to furnish it at only a slight
advance over the common Alfalfa. Sow 26 lbs., per acre.
Lb., 25 cts.; 5 Ibs., $1.00; peck, $2.75; per bu., $9.50 to
$10.50. z
BOKHARA CLOVER, OR HONEY PLANT.
(Melilotus alba. )
A strong-growing perennial of value for green manur-
ng, especially in the South, also largely grown for the
excellent food it affords throughout its season for bees.
Lb., 20 cts.;10 Ibs.; and over, 15 cts. per lb.
JAPAN CLOVER.
(Lespedeza striata. )
A low-spreading perennial, much like white clover, of
great value in the southern states for forage and green
manuring. Lb., 35 cts.
HEMP SEED.
We receive many For eee. hemp seed to be used
to smother quack grass and Russian Thistle. When used
‘for this purpose it should be sown thickly to produce a
dense mass. It will grow quite tall and exclude light and
air and for this reason is better to use than millet and buck-
wheat in order to kill off obnoxious weeds. When sown to
produce fibre, use about a bushel of seed to the acre.
Price, per lb.; 20 cts.; 101bs., at 15cts.; 100 lbs., at 10 cts. Ib.
TEOSINTE.
(Reana luxurians. )
This gigantic Grammea will furnish a continuous daily
supply of most nutritious green food for horses and all
kinds of cattle all through the summer. It also makes
splendid dry fodder yielding enormously, and beiny more
nutritious and better relished by all stock than corn fodder.
In appearance it somewhat resembles Indian corn, but the
leaves are much larger and broader, and the stalks contain
sweeter sap. It stools out enormously after being cut.
Sow in May or June, at the rate of three pounds per acre, in
drills4feetapart. Lb., 75 cts. by mail, postpaid; by freight
orexpress, lb., 65 cts.; 5lbs., and over at 60 cts. per pound.
A forage eae 6 ieee aie aan can be sown in
April for an early crop, and for fall cropin July, August and
September, and still later further South. It is sown broad-
cast, 6 pounds to the acre, but is better drilled, in which
case 3 pounds to the acre will suffice. Ina few weeks from
the time of sowing, sheep, hogs or cattle can be turned on
it. Stockmen, dairymen and farmers have proved its
value. 10 cts. lb.; $7.00 per 100 lbs.
JAPANESE BARNYARD MILLET.
It has proven an enormous yielder in all sections of
the United States, producing hay and fodder to a height
of 6 to 8 feet, and produces from 12 to 20 tons per acre,
Cattle and horses eat it greedily and fatten rapidly. It
is a remarkable stooler and should not be sown very
thickly—10 to 12 pounds per acre broadcast being suffi-
cient. In drills, 8 lbs. per acre is plenty. Lb., 10 cts.; 10
Ibs., 75 cts.; 100 lbs., $6.00. G
GERMAN OR GOLDEN MILLET—TRUE SOUTHERN
It has been fully Oe noned that German Millet
grown in the Northern and Western States becomes de-
teriorated, and soon resembles Fox Tail in quality and
yield. This is due to the fact that German Millet is a
native of a warm climate. Southern grown seed is worth
double that of Northern or Western grown, if you want
a good crop of hay. We are prepared at all times to fill
orders at market prices.

SCALECIDE SAN eee eA.
“THE TREE SAVER”
“SCALECIDE” will positively destroy all soft-bodied
sucking insects, of whatever nature,on all kinds of fruit,
shade and ornamental trees with less labor and expense
than any known effective remedy.
The Rural New Yorker, of September 21, 1907, on p.
699, says editorially: ‘‘We sprayed nearly 2,000 trees last
Fall with ‘““SCALECIDE,” one part oil to sixteen parts
water, and most of them again this Spring. There is no
evidence of any injury whatever, and few, if any, live
scales have been found.”

ONION, (Zwiebeln, Ger.)
A light, loamy soil suits the onion best, and it may be grown for
many consecutive years on the same ground. Previous to sowing, the
ground should be well manured and deeply plowed. Harrow and rake
the surface smooth and even. As early in spring as possible, sow the
seed in drills 14 inches apart and half an inch deep, rolling firmly over
the seed. A cultivator may be used between the drills, being careful
not to throw too much over the crop. Weed the drills very carefully
and never allow the weeds to get ahead of the young plants. One ounce

Kor private use they are generally sown in double or single rows, in
drills, about two feet apart and three inches deep, for the dwarf
varieties, three to four feet apart and four inches deep for the taller
varieties. Those growing over twoanda half feet in height should be
bushed. One quart to 80 feet of drill, 1% bushel for one acre.

SQUASH, (Kuerbis, Ger.)
The squash is of tropical origin, and only succeeds well in a warm
temperature, consequently the seeds should not be planted out until
the ground is warm and mellow. The hills should be about six feet
apart for winter varieties, and four feet for summersorts. Planta
dozen seeds in each hill. Thin out the weakest vines, and when all
danger from bugs is past, leave three vigorous vines tothe hill. Culti-
vate well,and keep the ground clear of weeds. One ounce of seed to
about 40 hills, four to six pounds to the acre.

early, sow in the hot-
bed in March. In
about 5 weeks plants
should be transplaunt-
ed to another hot-bed,
setting them 4 or 5
inches apart. Here
they should remain,
having all the air
possible, until about
the middle of May,
when they may be
put out in the ground.

cold, a cold frame
= will answer for the
gy first transplanting.

of the side branches, and stopping others just beyond where the
fruit is formed, hastens the ripening. Very good plants can be grown

SOUTHERN COW PEAS.
Saves Fertilizer Bills and Improves the Condl'lon of Solls WhereverSown. Also
Makes a Sp'endid and Nutritious Green Forage or Hay Crop.
There is no surer or cheaper means of improving and increasing the
productiveness of our soils than by sowing the Cow Pea. It makesan
enormous growth, enabling the tarmer to put plenty of nitrogenous
vegetable matter into the soil ata small cst. and so very largely enables
him to dispense with the use of nitrogenous fertilizers. The Cow Pea,
toa greater extent than other leguminous crops, has the power to ex-
tract this costly nitrogen from the atmosphere and to store the same in
the vines and roots so that if the crop is cut off, the land is still en-
riched and its condition improved. From 5 to 15 tons of green fodder
per acre have been produced by the Cow Pea. To grow for hay they
are most valuable, as they yield an immense quantity of feed of the
best quality. For ensilage they are unsurpassed. Where it is desired
to turn the whole crop under, asa soil improver, it is better to do so
after the vines are partly dead. A good picking of the dried peas can
be made before plowing under, if desired. Cow Peas can be sown in
May or June, at the vate of one to one and a-half bushel per acre.
Wonderful, Block Eye and Brown Eye—Produce largest
crop of vines. 75cts. peck.
ey and Black—Best for combination crop vines and peas. 75

Whippoorwill — Best for peas, recommended for ‘‘hogging
down.’ 7&cts. peck.

SOJA BEAN.
The SOJA BEAN is fast taking the place of Clover in
sections where the soil is not the most fertile, both for hay
and fertilizing purposes.
Recommended as the best leguminous plant for soil re-
storing as it is adapted to ALL SOILS. It isa sure cropper.
Unsurpassed for hay, claimed to be superior to Clover
or Timothy. Plant in May, for it takes about ninety days
to mature the hay and one hundred and twenty days to
mature the seed. For hay sow about one bushel per acre
either broadcast or drilled. Cutwhenin blossom. For seed
sow in drills about twelve inches apart in the rows and have
the rows about thirty inches apart. 7dcts. peck.

April for an early crop, and for fall crop in July, August

broadcast 6 lbs. to the acre, but 1s better drilled, in which
case 3 lbs. to the acre will suffice. In a few weeks
from the time of sowing, sheep, hogs or cattle can be turned
on it; all reports agree that they gain weight faster on this
than any other fodder, as it can be sown after other crops
are off; the gain in fodder is secured at a nominal cost.
Stockmen, Dairymen and Farmers have proved its value.

Emerald or City Park Lawn Grass Seed.

Kentucky Blue Grass.
This grass is almost universally
known, and furnishes a moderate
supply of pasture of the best quality.
It varies in appearance and size ac-
cording to soil, and in some parts of
the country grows spontaneously. It
stands drought very well, and if
allowed to grow up in fall without
grazing, mak: sa good winter pasture.
Sow in fall or spring at the rate of two
to three bushels per acre.
Fancy, 20 cts. 1b.; $1.50 to $2.00 bu.

Meadow Fescue.
This thrives in all soils, excellent for permanent pasture,
starts early and is very productive; grows two to three feet
high, and does well in almost any soil; makes fair hay. Sow
in September or early in spring, at the rate of one to one
and a half bushel per acre.
Extra Fine, 20 cts. lb.; $2.75 bu.
Secend Grade, 15 cts. Ib., $2.00 bu.
Perennial Rye Grass.
(Imported English Blue Grass).
is considered quite valuable, as it affords pasture quite
early in the spring. The leaves are flat, long and glossy; the
stalks rather short, seldom over 18 inches in length. The
seeds are large, strong and make a vigorous young plant
soon after sowing. The grass is quite variable in size and
appearance. Sow early in spring at the rate of one to one
and a half bushel per acre. 18 cts. tb.; $2.00 bu.
Italian Rye Grass—An early rapid zrower, producing
large leaves and succulent food. It does best in moist soils.
Sow early in spring or fall about 25 lbs. per acre. 16 cts. 1b.
Sheep’s Fescue—Grows naturally on light, dry, sandy
soils and mountain pastures. Itis considered quite valuable
as a mixture with other grasses for permanent early spring
pasture. 20 cts. Ib.

Orchard Grass.
Oue of the very best grasses in
cultivation, and rapidly’ coming in
favor. If cut just at the coming into
bloom (as it always should be) a good
second crop will follow and sometimes
even a third. Is recommended for
sowing with red clover as they come
into flower at the same time. Orchard
Grass is one of the earliest grasses,
yields immense crops, and makes the
best of hay; it endures considerable
shade, and is much used for sowing [®
in orchards. 1% to 2 bushels of seed | jy

$2.00 to $2.50 bu.
Red Top.
This perennial native grass pro-
duces rather late in the season a
reddish purple, or
greenish panicle of
flowers. It thrives
best on low land,
where it cuts a good
crop of rather light
hay of fair quality. It is very suitable for
pastures on low ground. Sow in September
) or early Spring atthe rate of | to 2bu peracre.

Timothy—This grass stands at the head for meadows,
particularly for hay that is to be baled for market, if cut
at the proper time, which is, when in full bloom. I prefer
to seed it in the fall—September—if it is seasonable, and
if, by any reason, there is a partial failure, go over the
groundin spring Sow one fourth to one-half bushel seed
per acre, Market price.
Sweet Vernal—Is very fragrant, especially when bruised.
For a mixture with other grasses for pasture it is quite
valuable, as it starts early in spring and grows until late in
the fall. For hay its chief merit is its fragrant odor. It is
a vegetable condiment rather than a grass of nutritive
value. 20 cts. 1b.
Bermuda Grass—A very valuable grass for the south,
but will not endure frost. 60cts. Ib.

Ly a Johnson Grass—A perennial, a

rapid grower, long, cane-like roots,
, the leaf stalk and panicle of this
; grass resembling those of other
Sorghums. Sow at the rate of one
bushel per acre, and should be sown
in August or September to secure a
good crop the following year. 15
cts. lb.
Tall Meadow Oat Grass—This is
a perennial grass, has broad, flat
leaves and grows about 3 feet high,
has an abundance of long, fibrous
roots penetrating deeply in the soil
enabling it to withstand drought
cg and cold. Sow at the rate of two
bushels per acre, in early fall, on sheep pastures. 25 cts. lb.
Wood Meadow Grass—This grass, as its name implies, is
found naturally in shady woods, and is well adapted to
growing under trees, but will also on exposed places and on
light, thin soil, 50 cts. Ib. So
German or Golden Millet—True
Southern grown.—It has been fully
established that German Millet
grown in the Northern and West-
ern States becomes deteriorated,
and scon resembles Fox Tail in
quality and yield. This is due to
the fact that German Millet is a
native ofa warmclimate. Southern
grown seed is worth double that of
Northern or Western grown, if you
want a goodcrop of hay. Weare

Hungarian Grass—This grass
resembles the millet, it is of fine

CLOVERS.
Red Clover—In ordering always state quality desired,
otherwise will send the best. The grades of the market
are Good, Prime and Choice. Market price.
Sapling, Mammoth, Large, English or Pea Vine Clover—
Trifolium Pratense Perenne. Compared with common red
clover, its flowers, foliage and stems are of a darker color
and its seed is the product of the flowers of the first crop,
while the common red clover is the product of the flowers
of the second crop. It is valuable when sown with other
grasses for mixed hay, as it ripens later than the common
red clover and about the time that timothy, orchard and
other grasses ripen, thereby making the hay a much better
quality. The best for soiling purposes. Market price.
Japan Clover— (Lespedeza Striata.) It thrives on poor land
and produces continual herbage. Not adapted to Northern latitudes, as
it is only half-hardy. Sow 10 to 12 Ibs. peracre.. 35 cts. lb.
White Dutch Clover—Trifolium Repens. Grows natur-
ally in pastures ina great variety of soils and situationsand
is an indispensible requisition in all parks and lawns. 25c lb.
Alfalfa
Clover—
The most valu-
able forage
plant. It
thrives best on
a sandy loam,
the richer the
better, and in
such will pro-
duce several
crops every
season. In the
driest and most
sultry weather,
when every
blade of grass
withers, Alfalfa
is as fresh and
green as in the
spring, as its
roots go down
from 10 to 20
feet to the
moisture of
the ground.
Although a
prodigious
yielder, it does
not exhaust the
soil, but rather
improves the
ground by the
rich ground, full of vegetable matter.
sown early in the spring. Sow twenty-five pounds per
acre. ~20 cts. lb.
Alsike or Swedish Clover - So-called from being inter-
mediate in its appearance between the red and white clovers,
possessing qualities common to both, being productive,
sweet and permanent. Will grow well ou very poor soil.
Should be used in mixtures of grasses and clovers for pas-
ture, and will improve the quality of the hay if mixed with
the meadow grasses. It is also esteemed highly for
pasturage for bees. 20 cts. Ib.

CLOVER SEED, Continued.
Scarlet or Crimson Clover—Scarlet Clover is an annual
and should be sown in August, September or October. It
germinates quickly, grows very rapidly through the fall and
win‘er, blossoms about May Ist. This clover can be sown
after crops have been removed from the ground. In this
way it will prove of inestimable value in holding the valu-
able nitrates in the soil that are otherwise washed out of the
bare ground, furnishes fall, winter and spring pasture and
enriches and stores up plant food for the next crop. Sow
at the rate of ten or fifteen pounds per acre, covering with
harrow or cultivator. Nothing like it for sowing on ground
after potatoes are harvested, 16 cts. lb.; $1.00 10 lbs.
$8.00 100 lbs.
Bokhara Clover—A large plant quite valuable for soil-
ing, producing several crops in a season, its branches bear
numerous white flowers, which are sweet and fragrant,
excellent pasture for bees. 2U cts. Ib.

Land Plaster— Is adapted to a great variety of uses, and
sales are largely increasing as its value becomes better
known. If -applied asatop-dressing for grass and clover
crops in the spring, it greatly increases the growth and
yield of same, in fact, its use is almost certain to insure a
good stand of clover. If it is sprinkled in stables, poultry
houses and on manure piles, it will prevent ammonia from
vaporizing, thereby greatly increasing the value of farm
manure. On account of its economical usefulness and
effectiveness, it should be liberally used on every farm.

To produce a rich, luxuriant and lasting growth
of beautiful dark-green grass, use our lawn fertilizer.
It is quick in action, its effect being seen immediately
after the first rain. It acts energetically on the
unfolding leaves, goes directly to the roots, stimu-
lates them to activity and causes the grass to thicken, A
firm growth follows, which remains green, luxuriant and
velvety for the whole season. Stable manure is very un-
sightly, gives an unpleasant odor, disfigures the lawn, and
contains weeds and other foreign seeds. The fertilizer
should be applied in winter or spring, and sown broadcast
on a damp day or just before arain. 40 cts. 10 lbs.; $1.00
35 Ibs.; $1.25 50 Ibs.; $2.00 100 lbs.
Sheep Manure — This is a pure, natural manure, anda
Most nutritious food for plants. Its effect is immediate,
more lasting and healthful than guano or any other manure. ~
It is the best of all manures for mixing with the soil for
greenhouse plants. lt makes the richest, safest and quick-
est liquid manure, rivaling guano, without any deleterious
effects. Nothing equals it for general use on flower beds,
or for the vegetable garden. No other fertilizer produces
such a marked and perm&nent effect upon lawns. No
raking off required. No seeds of foul weeds in it. No
offensive odor. It is clean to handle. Absolutely safe to
use in any quantity or in any manner. For dawns use at the
rate of from 300 to 500 pounds per acre. For pot plants mix
one part of sheep manure to six parts of soil. Foruse in the
vegetable garden spread over the surface and dig in. Being
soluble, it readily makes a safe liquid manure (1 pound to 5
gallons of water per day can be safely used.) i0 cts. 1b.;

NOTES.
DON’T expect Sweet Peas to thrive in a sunless location, nor
in poor soil.
DON’T sow to shallow. Plant the seeds not less than two
inches deep. Get in early.
DON’T use the same plot of aera for Sweet Peas two years
in succession.
DON’T over feed. Bone meal in some form is the best ferti-
lizer. Don’t use fresh manure in the trenches.
DON’T gather the flowers grudgingly. The more flowers
you cut the longer the vine will bloom

“PLANET JR.”’ No. 4
Combined Hill Dropping
Seeder and Single
Wheel Hoe,

‘Planet Jr.’ No. 3 Hill Dropping Seed Drill.
A seeder that does not drep in hills is fast becoming a thing of the
past. Why? Because all crops that are to be grown from seed and
thinned toa regular stand, should be plantedin hills at just the dist-
lance apart the plants are desired, forin drilling unless the seed is
s0wn unnecessarily thick, there will not always bea plantat the proper
spot, and the crop is therefore irregular. This machine not only sows
in a continuous row, but also drops in hills, 4, 6, 8 12,and 24 inches
apart. We can heartily recommend it. Price, $10.00.
“PLANET JR.” No. 17
Single Wheel Hoe,
Cultivator
and Plow.
This is exactly the same style of seeder as the No. 3 “Planet Jr
Hill Dropper. Itis smaller in capacity, though still of good size, hold-
ing two quarts. Itdropsin hills the same as the No 3.and indrills any
thickness, handling the smallest paper of seeds perfectly. Itis simple,
durable and very light running. Thrown out of gear instantly and the
flow of seed cut off, by simply raising the handles. The drill is detached
and the tool frame substituted by removing but one bolt. Itthen becomes
one of the most admirable Single Wheel Hoes of the “Planet jr.
family. Price, $10.50. Asa Drill, only $8.5¢.

WHEN TO SPRAY AND WHAT TO USE.
The following brief directions for the spraying of fruits and vegetables have been compiled as the result of several years’ experimenting with
different materials and it is believed they can be followed without injury to the crops and with profit to ‘he owner. It will pay to spray all fruit
plants in the spring with copper sulphate solution, and the second and third ~>vplications as given, can generally be made with profit.
Neve
spray with arsenites while the trees are in blossom, as the bees will be poisoned; they are necessary to fertilize the flowers.

GRUB KILLER
(An Insecticide )
During the summer large
patches of lawns die out with-
_ out apparent cause, and upon
investigation find that—it is
caused by White Grubs killing
the grass.
To remedy this evil, we offer
“Grub Killer’
_ a combination of chemicals
_ which destroys the grub
worms and ants and prevents
the growth of moss, also sweet-
_ ens sour ground.
Apply broadcast at the rate
of about 200 to 300 pounds per
acre. Never use stable or veg-
etable manure as same is filled
with eggs of the grubs.
