To Our Friends and Customers:
We take pleasure in handing to our numerous customers our Seed Catalogue and price list for 1911 We have —
listed all the varieties that after being tested have proven to possess real merit, and have left out those which
add only to the list of names but so often confuse the in‘ending purchaser.
The quality of our Seeds “WESTERN SEEDS” is strictly reliable, fresh and true to name, and the best proof
of the satisfaction obtained in planting “Western Seeds” is our large increasing trade, not only from every State
of the Union, but also from foreign countries. ‘This Catalogue has been compiled as a useful guide for Garden
and Farm operations and should be kept carefully for reference.
We thank our many patrons for their support during the past years and assure them that our best efforts
will be used to serve their interests. Yours gratefully,
THE BARTELDES SEED CO.

Our limited space not permitting to reproduce the full report of every
test of over forty different kinds of Vegetable and Flower Seeds, named in.
the letter, we only give the last part, summing up the whole report.
“Upon the whole the tests were satisfactory and we had a world of Vege-
tables, the best garden in town. Our seeds germinated so well that ‘Where
did you get thuse seeds?’ was an oft-repeated question, Owing to limited 1
space I failed to plant a few varieties procured of you, and am particularly
sorry that I did not get the Milo Maize, Brown Dourha and Australian Flint Corn, tested
on the ranch. '
I shall take pleasure in most heartily recommending your house to my friends and
neighbors next spring. Very truly,

A FEW WORDS IN REGARD TO NOVELTIES
The improvements on Vegetables and Flowers for the last few years have been so great, that we urgently advisi
our Customers to try some of them alongside of their favorites among the old “Stand-bys,” and see if the superiorr
of productiveness, improvements in shape, color and size, do not induce them to grow these Novelties in place of t
old ones. We knéw that over 50% of Novelties are unworthy of the space devoted to them in some catalogs, but W
try to avoid this evil by cataloging only those that have proven to possess real merit.

Regenerated Defiance Wheat
The strain of Defiance Wheat, which was so much im-
proved by Prof: A. E. Blount, of the Colorado Experiment
Station, some 20 years ago, has now lost most of its good
qualities through lack of seed selection, careless methods of
threshing, seeding, irrigation and following grain with grain.
Prof. Blount during his pericd of improvements, had in-
creased the size of heads from 3 inches to 5 inches and the
number of kernels from 21 to 43 on an average.
In 1903 Mr. A. H. Danielson, Assistant Agriculturist at
Celorado Agricultural College, having found a stock of pure
Defiance Wheat left by Prof. Blount, started again the grow-
ing cf improved Defiance Wheat, and we: have secured again
a limited amount of genuine Regenerated Defiance Wheat,
which we offer to our customers in sealed bags only. This
wheat has been approved by-the Secretary of the Colorado
Grain and Seed Growers Association and been given a regis-
tration number.
Defiance Wheat has stood for the last 18 years at the
head of all milling wheats for its superiority to produce
biscuit flour, and is without doubt the best spring wheat to
raise for milling in Colorado and surrounding states.
BUY REGENERATED DEFIANCE WHEAT and increase
your profit as the yield will not only be larger, but the better
erade of grain will command a much higher price.

tion of scme 75. varieties; the werk being started about 1909. Each year undesirable types were eliminated and No. 37
was finally selected, in 1906, by Prof. W. H. Olin.
The oat is noted for its large leaf, straw, heavy weight and good quality kernel. It grows from 48 to 60 inches high
in mountain valleys under irrigation. Is a heavy cropper—1i3 bushels, weighing a little over 45 Ibs. per bushel, having
been raised from 100 lbs. of seed—and is especiajly adapted to high altitudes. With average conditions it yields aboui

CULTURE. For early cabbages sow the seed in a hot bed, in March or April, covering the seed from % to % inch deep
and, when big enough, transplant to another bed. As soon as the ground is in good condition, transplant outside, in rows
2 feet apart and 15 to 18 inches in the row. The soil should be mellow, rich and well drained. For late crop the seed can
be sowed in a cold frame, or even in the open ground, and then transplanted in rows 8 feet one way and 2 feet the other,
so as to be able to work with a horse and cultivator. One ounce of saltpeter dissolved in 3 gallons of water sprinkled over
the cabbages or cauliflowers will destroy the green worm. The liquid, being clear, does not color the cauliflower or cab-
; age 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 will produce about 2,000 plants. About 16,000 early or 8,000 late cab-
bages plant one acre.

CULTURE. The same as for cab-

plenty of water will pay with cauli-
flower. If the soil be 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’ May: ist; the late kinds
may be planted out same time as
cabbage. To destroy the Cauliflower
Maggot, it is recommended to take
one ounce of sulphuret of potassium
and dissolve it in one gallon of
water. Heat the liquid to about 100
degrees, take a large spoon, or
something that will hold the one-:
hundredth part of a gallon,,and pour
the liquid against the stalk of the
plant just above the ground.
One ounce produces 1,500 plants;
15,000 plants will cover one acre. 2 3

vy, Barteldes Late Snowball or Dry Weather
This splendid Cauliflower, introduced by us in 1907 to
-Western Planter, has proven to be'a perfect “success.” Samples
weighing 8 and 11 pounds have been brought to us with the
statement that they average 7 pounds in large fields planted
with this stock. We feel satisfied that it answers the purpose we have
been seeking; that is, to furnish a Cauliflower well adapted to our Western
country, for use in summer. This Cauliflower is about 2 weeks later than
our well known Danish Snowball. It has a larger head, solid, white and
very fine grained. The leaves are large and have a tendency to fold over
the head to protect it from the scorching sun of our summer months. It
also stands the drouth better than any other Cauliflower grown.

CELERY
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 4 of an inch deep. When fairly out of seed leaf, they are transplanted in another bed, or can be thinned
out to 2 or 3 inehes in the row and left growing till needed to plant outside. In April they are planted in the field, in
s . MARKET,
HALF DWARF.
rows, 2 to 4 feet apart, and set 6 inches in the row. In planting
press the ground around the plants, but be careful not to let the
earth get into the heart. ‘the soil should be made very rich and
the plants will have to be earthed up three or four times during
their growth. The summer varieties, such as Golden Self-Blanch-
ing and White Plume. do not need any more care to bleach, but
the winter varieties need to be banked up. Celery needs more
water than other garden crops, and, if allowed to suffer from
want of water, is liable to get soft. For winter use, sow the seed
outside in latter part of April or beginning of May, in beds, and
transplant, to 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 :f wanted to bleach on the same spot where
grown. When cold weather sets in, dig a trench in a high and
well drained place, one foot wide and of a depth a few inches less
than the height of celery. Set your plants closely in it and cover
gradually with straw or hay and earth, as the weather gets colder.
The top of the trench should be sloping to allow water to run off.
One ounce produces 2,500 plants and it takes about 42,000 plants
to set one acre if rows are two feet apart.

° Barteldes’ Select “Pollock Strain” Rocky Ford Cautaloupe.
Rocky Ford Rust Resisting Cantaloupe
This new strain of Cantaloupe (Improved Pollock’s
Strain) is the product of several years careful selection
from the strongest and most vigorous growing plants. It
is not quite as early as Barteldes’ Select Rocky Ford, but
will yield more.
In comparing the vines and fruits of the common strain
with this new strain we found that the melons, hidden under
a healthy growth of vines, were larger, more _ solidly
netted with thick, firm flesh, and small seed cavity com-
pletely filled with seeds. On the rusted hills, where leaves
were very few, the small melons -were prematurely matured,
the flesh watery and thin and seed cavity open.

Burrell Gem—Called by Some Ordway Pink,
BURRELL GEM,
This new melon is the “ne plus ultra” of yellow flesh
musk melons. It is another Colorado product and, like the
Rocky Ford Cantaloupe, one that we can he proud of. It
has a tough, thin rind, well arched ribs covered with a close-
ly laced and interlaced gray netting. Shape is quite elon-
3 gated, the diameter from stem to blossom end being one-
third more than from top to bottom. Meat reddish orange,
very thick (see illustration), fine. grained and spicy: vines
vigorous; average weight, 24 Ibs., and, notwithstanding
its thin rind, is an ideal shipping melon.

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

This valuable onion is especially
adapted to the southern states and is
the most profitable of all varieties of
onions for the grower. Ease of culti-

CULTURE. They do best in deep, rich, sandy soil, but will make good roots on any soil which
is deep and mellow and moderately rich. As the seed is sometimes slow to germinate, it should
be-sown as early as possible; cover % inch deep, and press the soil firmly over the seed; give
frequent cultivation, and thin the plants 6 or 8 to the foot. As. they are improved by frost a
part of the crop should be left in the ground for spring use. One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill;

Sow in single or double rows from 1% to 3 feet apart, dropping a pea every inch and covering from 2 to 3 inches deep. ~
For a succession sow every 10 days up to July. Pea seeds are, some years, full of small holes, caused by an insect
called Pea Weevil. The holes will not prevent the seeds from growing, as the germ is not destroyed. One pound to 50

CULTURE. Potatoes can he grown in any soil, provided, it 's well drained, but, if grown on-sandy, rich soil, they will
be of better quality than if planted on clay soils. Sod land is most excellent for this crop, but the seed should always be
under the sod and not on top of it. It is best to put the manure on one year before the potatoes are to be planted, and —
in no case raw stable manure should be used, as it is liable to give the scab. In cutting potatoes for planting, do not ©
cut the pieces too small and be sure to have 1 to 3 eyes on them, according to the kind. The constant use of very small
tubers should be avoided or they are likely to run.out. The sets should be planted from 8 to 4 inches deep, accord-
ing to the time of planting, in rows 3 feet apart and 16 to 18 inches in the rows. They should be cultivated 2 or 3
times before they are six inches high, to keep down the weeds. It is not a good plan to hill up potatoes and it should not
be done unless they are pushing out of the ground, If planted 1% feet by 3 feet there will be about 9,700 hills on one ~
acre, and it will take between 600 and 700 pounds, according to the size of the sets, to plant it. At 3 by 3 feet one-
half the quantity is sufficient.

round deep rich red with very
crisp, tender, white flesh. This
is the very best variety for

18 to 21 days and the tops are
so small that a large number
can be grown in a single bed.

This new radish is an entirely new type, and differs
radically from all the varieties hitherto in cultivation, in-
so-far as its roots attain more than double the size of those
of other forcing varieties, without getting pithy or hollow.
This giant radish develops roots of 6 to 8 inches in circum-
ference and over an ounce in weight, their pure white flesh
remaining firm, crisp and mildest of flavor. It is equally
well adapted to outside culture.

The Trucker’s Favorite
Tomato
In our estimation this is the
“Peerless” amongst the medium
early, large pink tomatoes; a va-
riety of such unusual merit thai
it deserves the highest praise
and recommendation. It is truly
“The Trucker’s Favorite.” Its
fine, smooth, uniformly shaped
fruits command the highest mar-
Ket prices.
The fruits are thick meated
and very solid; the meat is of
the finest flavor, making the to-
matoes equally good for slicing
and for cooking purposes. The
vines are of strong growth, not
subject to rust or blight and
bear enormous crops till frost.

HONOR BRIGHT.
The foliage is yellowish green, and the first fruit
s it ripens turns first white, then yellow,’ and when
fully ripe is a bright red. The fruit ripens slowly
and seems to ripen up exceptionally well after pick-
ng, so that the fruit can be picked when white,
acked and shipped, and after 5 to 10 days will be
found solid and ripened to a rich, bright red.

Cosmos
Are unquestionably very hand-

objection to their giving general

flowering habit. The plants require
a very long time to develop, and
that brings their flowering season
late in the fall. This objection will
not be found in our “early flower-
ing”’ strain. Seed sown in the open
ground in the beginning of May will
produce blooming plants in August,
and they will continue to flower late
in the fall. We know of no single

SELECTED WESTERN SEEDS.
SWEET PEAS
GENERAL 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 have been made 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
2 rows and drop one pea every inch or two: then cover with 2 inches of soil,
graduaily filling the trench as they grow. One side has to be a little lower
to allow surplus water to drain off. Flowers must be picked off every day
if you want them to bloom all through the summer. Bone dust and nitrate of
soda will hasten the time of flowering.
We are headquarters for strictly high grade Sweet Peas seed. Our
growers give special attention to selecting and cleaning. We have trade
from all parts of the United States for our “Columbine” brand of selected
the ordinary stocks are priced by many.

would not half express it; they are just

so much more than I expected for the

Cannas |
Prices, 15c each; 2 for 25c; the full collection, $1.60.
The Cannas are among the most beautiful bedding plants. They
have long been great favorites, but since the introduction of many new
varieties their value has been greatly increased by adding to the already
attractive foliage large flowers of the most brilliant colors, so that they
are now indispensable. No plant is better adapted to our climate, and
nothing costing so little excels them for masses of beautiful foliage, as
well as the abundance of dazzling blooms in many shades. Plant out-
doors about the middle of May if weather is warm and settled, setting
the plants 18 inches apart each way, and the tallest varieties in center
of bed. Do not water too freely until well started, then they should have
an abundance.

= SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS. 53
The most attractive of all summer flowering bulbs, and now that such great advancement over the common sorts has
been made, the Gladiolus is winning admirers each season. They are sure to bloom. We recommend planting 4 inches
deep, in ordinary soil not excessively rich. Make succession of plantings to have blooms prolonged through the season.
Large bulbs do not always produce the grandest flowers, Medium sized bulbs give best results.

3 to 4 feet apart. The best
time to plant them is in April
and May. During summer the
ground must be cultivated to
; , keep it free from weeds and to
prevent it from baking. In the ‘fall, after the leaves have fallen off, the plants should be trimmed
back to one-half of the season’s growth, tied together and dirt heaped around them. A good dress-
ing of old manure or bone meal will insure a big yield of flowers the next year. To prevent and
A destroy the rose chafer and rose slug, sprinkle the bushes as soon as leaves are forming and once a
week after with a solution of Paris Green and water; one ounce Paris Green to 100 gallons. Mildew can be checked
by dusting sulphur on the leaves every 2 or 3 days, and green fly will soon disappear if tobacco dust is seattered on
and under the leaves. The plants should be sprinkled thoroughly before applying powdered insecticides.
CARE TO GIVE ON RECEIVING PLANTS. As our plants are big, strong, two-year-old, they should be trimmed
back to one-third of the length of the main branches, removing all the side shoots (they will not bloom), and if they
have been on the way 3 or 4 days, put in a bucket of water for a few hours, unless they are shipped in a growing state
and dirt around the roots. We do not trim plants much, unless asked to do so, as most people expect large bushes and
they look better untrimmed, but if you want your roses to grow, and we are very anxious that they should, you must
trim them before or right after planting. Three or four eyes to a branch are sufficient.
We have had, many flattering testimonials in regard to size and varieties of Roses we have sent out, and we have

APPLE.
Apple seeds do not produce the same varieties, but
an inferior though hardy stock. Upon the stock thus
raised from the seed are grafted or budded the cuttings
of such varieties as are desired. The seeds can be planted
in good soil, any time during the winter in the South, or
early in the spring in the North, in rows 18 inches apart.
If the seed is planted in the spring it must first be frozen,
which can be done during the winter by placing lavers of
seed in the boxes and covering with sand and exposing
them to the cold, freezing weather. After freezing, the seed
must not be allowed to become dry, or many will be
spoiled if deprived of all moisture.

transplant or grow from seed, requiring no more care or
skill than the ordinary crop of white beans or Indian corn,
with.the exception that the seed usually lies dormant the
first season, but is sure to grow the next year, if the ground
is not disturbed. Our seed is Colorado grown. Oz., 10c; Ilb..

usually 8 or 10 rowed, one and two ears to a

and fully as early, and yields more matured
corn. We are firmly convinced that it is the
corn for uplands and worn out soils, where it
produces 35 to 50 bushels of ears per acre. It
stands drouth nearly as well as White Austra-
lian. It is much softer kernel, being a pale
yellow dent. The ears will average 8 inches
long, 12 to 16 rowed. One-third of the crop will
yield two ears on a stalk, maturing in 90 to 100
days. Six pounds of seed will plant an acre, 3
feet, 8-inch check-rows. This is the corn for
our short season districts. Give it a trial, you
will be pleased.

Champion White Pearl (100 days)
The stalk is short and thick. The ear grows
low on the stalk, from 10 to 12 inches in length,
almost parallel throughout, of medium size,
averaging 16 rows of grains. The grains are
pure white, very deep, compact and heavy. The
cob is small. It makes a superior quality of
corn meal.
Iowa Silver Mine (95 days)
The stalk grows to a height of 7 or 8 feet,
and set the ears about 3% to 4 feet from the
ground. The ears measure from 10 to 12 inches
in length and often weigh 1% pounds. They
are very uniform in size and shape, with 16 to
20 straight rows of deep, pure white kernels
ona small white cob.
Iowa Gold Mine (95 days)
Similar to above, except in color, which is a
bright golden yellow.
BICKORY KING (110 days).
This new corn is entirely distinct from all
other varieties, having the largest grain with
the smallest cob ever introduced in a white
corn. It yields greater, and is unquestionably
the most productive white field corn. Stalks
bear two good ears each, and occasionally three.
It never has barren stalks, no matter how thin
the soil, and both ends of the ear are filled out
full.
GOLDEN BEAUTY (110 days).
The ears are of perfect shape, with from 10
to 14 straight rows of bright golden yellow
grains, remarkable in size, and filled out com-
pletely to the extreme end of the cob. The rich-

recommend it very strongly.
NEW KHERSON. It is one of the earliest oats grown

other varieties; the leaves are broad and expose a large

is short, plump, white and very heavy,
averaging 40 lbs. per bushel.
RED RUST PROOF. Not extensively
grown, though highly recommended by
those who have grown it, and is now be-
coming popular in Kansas, New Mexico
and in the southern part of Colorado. It

proof, and perfectly hardy. In some local-
ities it is sown in fall similar to winter
oats.

Sow 70 to 80 lbs. per acre.
It is neither wheat, rye nor barley, and
yet it appears to be a combination of
these. Zt is more like wheat than any of
the others mentioned. For fattening cattle,
poultry, horses, sheep, pigs, etc., it is
claimed to be ahead of other grains, in
fact, ali kinds of animals seem to thrive
on it. Speltz is claimed to be ahead of
corn, superior to oats and more profitable
than wheat. Yields 80 to 100 bushels of
richer food than corn, besides giving as
much as 4 tons of good hay per acre. Ex-
cellent for pasture and can be fed in the
green state. AS green grass hay food it
often gives 100 leafy stalks from one seed,
which shows its heavy stooling properties.
The heads are somewhat similar to two-
rowed barley, the spikelets being separat-
ed from each other in such a manner that
the crop is not easily injured by the
weather. It is a heavy yielder. Will grow
well and produce, enormous crops on land,
where wheat will not grow. Speltz or Emmer.

ALFALFA CLOVER OR LUCERNE.
Medicago Sativa,
_ The most valuable forage plant, is particulariy adapted for our Western
climate and soil. It requires a deep, mellow soil; newly broken sod does not
do so well. It thrives best on a sandy loam, the richer the better, while it
has not proved a success on heavy, compact, clay soil. In the dryest 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 30 feet to the
moisture of the ground. Although a prodigious yielder, it does not exhaust the
soil, but rather improves the ground by the decay of its long roots, and con-
verts it into rich ground, full of vegetable matter. The seed may be sown
early in the spring, as soon as the frost is out of the ground, in order to
catch the spring rains, as it needs moisture to germinate. In localities where
irrigation is used it can be sown successfully at any time during the sum-
mer months. Most of our successful Alfalfa growers prefer sowing the seed
broadcast, while others are more in favor of drilling it in. It is rather diffi-
cult to establish the first year, but will, when once started, produce a profit-
able crop; under favorable circumstances three and even four crops are cut
yearly, aggregating five to seven tons to the acre. Never sow less than 20
pounds of gocd, clean seed to the acre, as thin sowing produces thick and
coarse stalks not relished by stock. If intended to raise Alfalfa for the seed,
12 to 15 pounds is plenty to sow to an acre. Alfalfa will produce from 5 to
10 bushels of seed to an acre. It is worthy of trial in any locality where it
has not seedy been tested. Lb., 25c. Ask for latest prices when quantity
is wanted.

ALSIKE OR SWEDISH CLOVER.
Trifolium Hybridum.
Comes from the little Province of Alsike in Sweden. One of the hardiest
varieties Known; is perennial and does not winter kill; stands alike drouth or
wet. A great favorite with bee-keepers, as it has flowers having a sweet
and agreeable odor and affords excellent forage for bees. Sow 5 to 8 lbs. to
the acre. Per lb., 25c.
MAMMOTH, SAPLING OR PEAVINE CLOVER.
Trifolium Medium.
Being a rank grower makes it most valuable for fertilizing purposes.
Forage flawer and stem much darker than common Red Clover; ripens later
than the latter, about the time Timothy, Red Top and other grasses ripen, making thereby a much better quality of hay.
when mixed with them. Sow 12 to 15 lbs. to the acre. Per ib., 25c.
CRIMSON CLOVER.
Trifolium—Inecarnatum. :
An annual variety in common use in Italy and south France,for feeding green. Also grown largely in this country
in Virginia, and we find it does well in our western states. It is meeting with favor in Texas and adjoining states. Two
to four weeks earlier than the Red Clover, and for that reason being more desirable. Immense yielder of fodder. Com-
mences tc grow at once after cutting, and continues to do so until frost. Height, 1 foot; roots nearly black; blossoms
long and of deep carmine color. Makes good hay. Sow in the fall in southern country. Sow 15 lbs. to the acre. Per

soil in the southern states. Sow 15 lbs. per acre. Per 1b., 35c.
BUR CLOVER. Medicago maculata.
This annual clover mainly used in southern states and California. It fills in the

kinds feed on the burs, which contain a large proportion of nutritious matter. Sow 15 to
20 lbs. per acre from August till November. Per 1b., 20c.
RED CLOVER. Trifolium pratense,
Regarded the most important of the whole genus for practical agriculture; valuable
not only for forage, but also as a fertilizer for the soil. Long, powerful tap-roots, which
in decaying add largely to that black mass of matter we call soil. Makes excellent hay,
and can be cut twice a year. Sow 12 to 15 lbs. to the acre. Per 1b., 25c.

stalks higher than leaves, with spike of crimson or variegated leaves, followed by hard, flat pods, toothed and prickly.
Perennial, reots hard and woody; flowers in July. Same family as Alfalfa. Adapted to light, chalky soils, sands, gravels
and barren regions, deficient in rainfall and without irrigation privileges. Shorter lived plant than Alfalfa, but will last

HOW TO MAKE A LAWN
The ground should be dug deeply and thoroughly, then a good compost of decomposed and finely pulverized manure
or rich loam spread over the ground. It would be well, also to give a sprinkling of bone dust. Then use a slanted tooth
harrow and a light or medium roller until the soil is smooth, even and firm. Then sow the seed and harrow again and
smooth off with a common garden rake. When the grass has grown 2 or 3 inches in height use the lawn mower, gauged
to-ecut full 1 inch above the ground; repeat the same as often as it grows to that height. The weeds and foul grass can
be kept down and destroyed by the repeated mowing. If this is neglected they will spread and take possession of the
soil, but being constantly clipped, the leaves and seed stalks are destroyed and the foul vegetation disappears,
As a guide for the proper quantity to order, we may state that one pound of Fancy Mixed Lawn Grass Seed. or
“Columbine Grade” Kentucky Blue Grass, is sufficient to thoroughly sow an area of 10 feet by 15 feet—150 square feet.
It should be born in mind that in order to produce the best results grass seed for lawiis should be sown at least thrice as
thickly as sown for hay.
As soon as the grass has become well established a dressing of good Lawn Fertilizer is necessary to keep up that
beautiful fresh appearance.
THE “DENVER” FANCY MIXED LAWN 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 suitable lawn seed, so’ as to produce a soft, velvety, evergreen sod.

CANADIAN BLUE GRASS—Poa compressa.
Produces a fine foliage of dark green color, and is more hardy than Kentucky Blue Grass. It is especially adapted
to light, poor, dry soils and makes very satisfactory lawns. It has somewhat a creeping habit and does not need to be
clipped as often as Kentucky Blue Grass. 1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.25; 10 Ibs., $2.40.
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS—Poa pratensis.
The Great American Grass. The Standard for Lawns. Our “Columbine” Grade is the Purest Obtainable. The old
standard grass for pasture as well as lawns. Every farmer knows it and its good qualities. Sow about 25 to 30 pounds

Also good on terraces and sloping ground. Lhb., 30c. |.
PERENNIAL ENGLISH RYE GRASS—Lolium perenne.
While this has long been highly esteemed in Hurope and
Australia, it has but recently been recognized by our western
ranchers. It is worthy of all the praise given. As a pasture
grass it grows quick and withstands drouth reasonably well.
For pasture sow in spring 25 to 30 pounds to the acre; for
lawns 60 to 70 pounds per acre. 1 lb., 15c; 7 lbs. for $1.00.
MEADOW FESCUBR, or ENGLISH BLUE GRASS—
Festuca pratensis.
Especially adapted for permanent pasture. Grows 2 to 3
feet high, but not in tufts like Orchard Grass. Earliest and
most nutritious of grasses. Makes good hay, and cattle thrive
on it, whether in dry or green state. Succeeds even in poor
soil, and as the roots penetrate deep, from 12 to 15 inches, it
takes extreme dry weather to affect it.

BERMUDA GRASS—Cynodon dactylon.
This plant has long been naturalized in the southern
states. While it is tender to freezing, it resists dry, hot
weather and consequently is a valuable grass to grow over
and bind the most arid and loose lands, and grows luxuri-
antly in every kind of soil; very valuable for pasture, as
well as for hay crop; time of sowing, April to June. Used
for lawns in the South, as it runs over the ground, forming
a dense turf. Sow 3 to 5 pounds peracre. % lb., 35c; 1b., $1.00.
ORCHARD GRASS—Dactylis
glomerata.
No farmer should be without a
small field of Orchard Grass, as in
many respects it is superior to alt
other grasses. It stands the drouth,
grows well in the shade, does well
in wet or poor ground, and is splen-
did to prevent worn out fields from
washing. This grass furnishes ex-
cellent pasturage three weeks before
any other, and after close grazing
ten days’ rest is sufficient for an-
other growth. Cows fed on this will
produce more and richer milk than
on blue grass. It makes a very
heavy sod, and when well set re-
mains for many years. It is espec-
jially adapted for winter grazing; as
it remains green all season. It is
well suited to sow mixed with alfal-
fa, on average of 12 lbs. orchard to
8 lbs. alfalfa seed. Sow 20 to 25
lbs. per acre. Lb., 30c.
Orchard Grass.
TIMOTHY—Phieum pratexse.
As a crop for hay, Timothy is prob-
ably unsurpassed by any other grass.
It is greatly relished by all kinds of
stock, especially horses; yields more
nutritive matter than most other grass-
es or forage plants. Being an early
erass, it is well adapted to spring and
summer grazing, and if the fall season
is favorable it will grow sufficiently to
furnish good fall grazing, too. Sow 10
to 12 pounds to the acre. Lb., 20c.

RED TOP—<Agrostis vulgaris.
A valuable grass for moist soils. It
is a good, permanent grass, standing
our climate as well as any other, ands
consequently,:well adapted to our pas- “=
tures, in which it should be fed closeas
for if allowed to grow up to seed, the
cattle refuse it: On moist, rich soil
it will grow 2 feet, and On poor grav-
elly soil about half that height. It has
been grown successfully even on “al-
kali’ bottom lands, where other grass-
es failed. We have discontinued hand-
ling the chaffy grade of Red Top, and
now offer only the clean seed. Sow 15
to 20 pounds clean seed to the acre.

Grass Seed Mixtures
FOR MEADOWS AND PASTURES.
t is a well ascertained fact that a thicker and more prolonged growth is produced by a
mixture of many sorts of grasses that are especially suitable. Some sorts do best on high
sround and in dry weather; others prefer plenty of moisture. Some mature so early, and others
so late, that from the beginning of spring until winter sets in there is no time when one spe-
cies or ancther is not at its best.
In the matter of preparing the soil for pastures, it is necessary to put the ground in the
best condition possible to. get the best results. The soil should be perfectly even after sowing
the seed, You will find that cross harrowing will be to your advantage, as it has a tendency
to scatter: the seed more evenly. The following mixtures will be found desirable to use for
permanent pastures, as they are properly proportioned for their different uses.
Kor Wet lands use Barteldes’ Pasture Mixture No. 1, 1 1b. to 10 lbs. at 25c per 1b.; 25 lbs.
at 20c per Ib.‘
For Light Sandy Soil use Barteldes’ Pasture Mixture No. 2. 1 1b. to 10 lbs, 25e per 1b.; 25
lbs. at 2ic per Ib.
For Irrigated Lands use Barteldes’ Pasture Mixture No. 3. 1 lb. to 10 lbs. at 25ec per 1b.;
25 lbs. at 20ce per 1b.
Sow liberally of either above to get best results, using 30 to 40 pounds per acre. Ask for = i
prices on large quantities.
TALL MEADOW OAT OR EVERGREEN GRASS—
Avena elatior. i
The roots of this grass descend deeply into the sub-soil Ay
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. Lb., 25c.
JOHNSON GRASS OR GUINEA GRASS—Sorghum halapense.
We find this grass winter-kills in the northern states.
In the extreme southern part of this state and the southern
states it does well. A perennial, a rapid grower, long, cane- —
like roots; the leaf, stalk and panicle of this grass resemb-
ling those of Sorghums. It grows on any land where corn
will grow, and like corn, will bear heavy manuring, yield-
ing richly in rich ground. In fact, the richer the land the
better the crop. Twenty-five to thirty pounds will sow an
acre, Tab., 25c)
BROMUS INERMIS, OR HUNGARIAN BROME GRASS.
A Wonderful Drouth Resister. A grass for the Stock
Raiser. All Kinds of Stock Like It. Wiil Drive Out Russian
EPhistle, Also Black Mustard.
This pre-eminent drouth-resisting grass stands at the
head of all, and is destined to lead as the most satisfactory
and valuable forage grass in all localities where arid soils
demand a plant with ability to withstand drouth. Stands
intense cold. equally well. May be sown in autumn with
winter wheat, or in early spring. In southern states sow in
February or March, preparing lands as for other grasses.
Blooms in north in June, and earlier
in southern states. For hog pastures
a mixture of Bromus Inermis and Al-
falfa, where the latter succeeds well,
is recommend by Prof. Ten Eyck of the
Kansas State Agricultural Experiment
Station, and he also suggests for large ©
pastures for cattle a mixture of the
following per acre: Bromus Inermis
10 lbs., Orchard Grass, 6 lbs., Meadow
Fescue 8 lbs., Red Clover 1 or 2 Ibs.
Its nature is to stool out and thus
does not show its best until the sec-
ond season. It seldom produces seed
the first year. Aside from Alfalfa no
grass has fulfilled the promises to our
western farmers better than the Bro-
mus Inermis. It meets drouth aS well
as wet and cold, and for Colorado we
know of no grass to equal it. Many of
our large ranchers are planting it
extensively. Sow 20 to 35 lbs. per acre.

German Millet.
COLORADO GOLDEN MILLET.
This is a cross between German and Common Millet
with all the good qualities of both parents. It yields a
great amount of seed and the hay is fine, juicy, with luxuri-
ant leaves. It is hardier than other millets; being perfectly
acclimated to our western country. Lb.. 10c; 10 lbs., 50c.
COMMON MILLET.
It is an annual grass, with tender, juicy and luxuriant
leaves, much relished by all kinds of stock; makes good
hay. Sow 25 to 40 pounds to the acre. i 1b., 10c; 10 lbs., 50c.
MANITOBA OR HOG MILLET.
The seed is very rich and thus especially valuable as a
hog food. A very much prized peculiarity of this millet is
that the seed ripens while the stem is yet green, thus if
.cut promptly can be threshed for the seed, while the hay
after being threshed will make excellent fodder. Sow same
as other millet. Lb., 10c; 10 lbs., 50c. :
JAPANESE MILLET or “Billion Doliar Grass.”
Prof. Brooks, of the Massachusetts Experiment Station,
is quoted as saying: “At our station it produced 60 bushels
of seed, 11,297 pounds of straw, 36,000 pounds of green fod-
der, 21,000 pounds of hay per acre, being superior to good
corn fodder in feeding for milk, and in combination with the
soja bean makes a very superior ensilage. Recommended
highly for feeding dairy cattle, young stock and sheep, be-
ing very rich in nutritious elements. If sown latter part of
April will be ready to cut for hay by middle of July. Attains
a height of from 5 to 7% feet, according to season.” We
eannot recommend it in the far north. Lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.00.
HUNGARIAN MILLET.
: This grass resembles Millet very much. -It is of fine
growth, and makes an excellent hay. It has numerous
succulent leaves, which furnish an abundance of green fod-
der, eaten by al! kinds of stock. Sow 25 to 30 pounds to
the acre. Lb., 10c; 10 lIbs., 50c.
NEW SIBERIAN OR RUSSIAN MILLET.
It is claimed to be the most wonderfully productive and
satisfactory forage plant, possessing in a superior degree
all the essential merits of any of the older sorts—exceeding
them by far. The claims made by its introducers are that
it is from two to three weeks earlier than the German
Millet, is a much heavier cropper, that the hay is much
finer, stalks more elastic and growing much taller, that it is
rust proof, and chinch bugs do not relish it, and being of
stooling habit, requires much less seed per acre. You should
try it. ~Lb., 10c; 10 Ibs. for 50c.
AUSTRALIAN SALT BUSH. :

WILD RICE—Zizania Aquatica.
For Planting in Ponds. :
An annua! which sows itself in the fall, about the mid-

commences to sprout aS soon as the water getS warm,
reaching the surface about the first of June. It grows
very rapidly in 1 to 4 feet of water, reaches a height of
7 to 10 feet and ripens late
in August or early in Septem-
ber. It should be planted
early in the fall before the
seed gets dry, as it is hard
to germinate, and before the
ice forms, broadcast from a
boat, in 1 to 38 feet of water
having a mud bottom. It has
been successfully planted
through the ice in winter and
in the spring, but it succeeds
best when planted in the fall.
If the water is over 4 feet
deep, or if it is stagnant, it
does not do as well as when
the water is moving gently.
As an attraction for wild fowl
it cannot be equaled, and it is
argely used on private shoot-
ing grounds to attract water
fowls. In large ponds and
lakes it purifies the water,
affords a refuge for the small
fry trom the large fish, as
well as furnishing the small
fry with plenty of food from
the animalculae upon _ the
stalks. It also does well
along the shores of marshes,
and makes a good hay. In the
South two crops can be eut,
and all cattle are very fond of it. If the seed has to be
kept over it must be put under a few inches of water which,
if not frozen, will have to be changed once in a while.

San Luis Valley is now feeding, win-
tering and fattening sheep and stock in
greater number and at less cost than
anywhere in the entire United States,
simply with FIELD PEAS. San luis
Valley Peas have developed a wonder-
ful and great industry.
They can be grown and do well at
an altitude of 9,000 feet. :
The Colorado Stock Pea is a hybrid,
evidently the Golden Vine intermingled .
with the Native or Mexican Peas until
now the seed has the appearance of a
mixed sort, and is well acclimated to
our climate, being very hardy, with-
standing early frosts and growing un-
til late fall, reaching a length of 4 to
6 feet. The vine continues to blossom
as it grows, ripening peas on the lower
branches and setting more pods above.
The seed averages smaller than garden
peas.
Time of Sowing. Being very hardy,
the fear of rotting in the ground is
not considered. The majority sow in
April, although a pea-hay crop can be
obtained if sown as late as in July.
Early sowing is best, giving full sea-
son for matured crop,
Quantity to Sow. When early sow-
ing is made, 40 to 50 lbs. of seed per
acre makes a crop that covers the
ground and produces good tonnage.
If late sowing is made, 60 to 80 lbs.
per acre is advisable, as the crop does
not get to matured growth. Thick
sowing will aid in choking out weeds.
Harvesting. If wanted as pea-hay
the growth should be at the period
when the supply of nutriment in milk
is in the vine just forming the pod, cut
and cured like ordinary hay. This makes finest feed for
dairy cattle; in fact, lambs, sheep, hogs and cattle relish this
hay. If the peas are desired as dry grain allow crop to
mature and handle in shocks, threshing by machine after
thoroughly dry. The dry seed can be ground into a meal
or be fed whole, : ;

ly like some crops; quite the opposite, the nitrogen taken

the time of planting and produce a crop of 20 to 40 bushels
to the acre, and are as easily grown as other beans, One
bushel of Soja beans is at least twice as valuable as corn
for feeding purposes. When roasted and ground it closely

High-Grade Fertilizers
These fertilizers contain in a concentrated form food necessary to grow nutritious
farm products in large quantity per acre at lowest possible cost in time, labor and
money. They are quick in action. Do not contain weed seeds and are easily applied.
We have now put up for us special brands. If you order by these names you will make
no mistake. You will be wise in ordering liberally.
Lawn grass is a voracious feeder and will not thrive and hold its beautiful dark
green color and velvety appearance unless it is suitably fed: The lack of this one re-
quisite causes many poor and rusty looking lawns. Do not use barn manure, as it is
apt to contain objectionable grass seeds and noxious weed seeds,‘ which you will have
- to fight for years to come. It cannot be evenly distributed, the result being that one
spot is overnourished while the next is starved. All these objections are obviated by
using

This is a good article for the price, being made expressly -for our trade, (Other
makes called “Denver” are not our formula.) It contains 3 to 3% per cent. ammonia,
8 per cent available phosphoric acid, and some other rich plant foods, just the materials
required to build up strong, vigorous grass shoots and make a luxuriant carpet grass. To
get a good lawn begin early in spring, rake over, bare places and sow good seed, then
apply the fertilizer by throwing it broadcast evenly, after which soak with water. It is

It is now generally understood that the
quickest, most economical and most per-
manent method of adding nitrogen to soil
is to plant a leguminous crop of some
kind after inoculating the seed with ni-
trogen-gathering bacteria.
FARMOGERM is offered for this pur-
pose. It is a pure culture of a High Bred
Nitrogen-Gathering bacteria. It comes in
sealed bottles, and unlike any other prep-
aration of this kind ever offered before
it is all ready for use. Just dilute with
water according to directions. The care-
fully selected, active bacteria in Farmo=-
gerni insure quicker and larger growth of
the crop inoculated, and permanently en-
rich the soil for future crops. The theory
of inoculation is recognized by authorities
as the right solution of the nitrogen fer-
tilizing problem. The problem has been
to get the right culture. Farmogerm is
the right culture. We have a pamphlet
which deals with the subject intelligently
and at some length. Let us mail you a

SELF WATERING WINDOW AND PORCH FLOWER BOXES AND HANGING BASKETS
As the name implies, these metal boxes and baskets are provided with a self-
watering device which renders attention unnecessary except at intervals of from
four to five days. A metal tube in the corner of each box extends from the water
reservoir underneath the false bottom upward through the soil to top of box. In-
serted in holes in the false bottom are sponges which touch the extreme bottom of ~
reservoir and extend upward through the soil in which the flowers are planted. The
water is drawn upward through these sponges in sufficient quantities to maintain a
uniform moisture in the soil. These boxes and baskets are made of heavy gal-
vanized iron, neatly painted green, guaranteed not to leak, and provided with eye- _
lets to fasten securely or to hang. On account of our high altitude and dry atmos-
phere they are provided, especially for our trade, with larger sponges and reservoir
than usually furnished.
With each box or basket we will furnish free a booklet containing practical sug-
gestions for window or porch boxes, by Eben E, Rexford,

THE PLANET JR, No. 8 HORSE HOE AND CULTIVATOR.
Probably no other cultivating machine is so widely known as the
“Planet Jr.” Combined Horse Hoe and Cultivator, for it is in use
throughout the civilized world. It is so strongly built as to withstand
incredible strain, yet it is light and easy to handle.
The Frame is longer than usual and about one and a half inches
higher, making a tool that will not clog easily.
The Standards are formed up hollow with round throats of stiff
steel; they polish quickly and free themselves readily from obstructions,
and they clasp the frame and strengthen it. ;
The Depth is under perfect-control by means of a new lever wheel
and the new patented depth regulator, which are 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. ; Horse Hoenn
The Reversible 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 close that an immense amount
of hand labor is avoided. Every part is perfected to make the tool acceptable to the farmer, who knows the best is the
cheapest. Weighs 82 lbs. Price, $9.00.
No. 7 is same as illustrated, except no depth regulator. Weighs 77 lbs. Price, $8.50.

instead of lever wheel. Weighs 72 lbs. Price, $7.75.

Price, $5.25. No wheel, weighs 49 Ibs. Price, $4.50.
No. 5 Horse Hoe and Cultivator has a lever spreader but no depth

BEE SUPPLIES. oe AGE ih 91
___ BEE SUPPLY DEPARTMENT
HINTS TO BEGINNERS
‘ HOW TO MAKE A GOOD START.
* Bee-keeping is not only interesting, but is profitable as Well, and when a person starts, he always continues and in-
- creases until he derives no small income from this source every season. ‘ : :
We do not advise anyone, without experience, to start with more than 5 or 6 colonies of bees and the hives and irmple-
- ments necessary to handle them. We suggest that you do not buy bees within 3 miles of where you intend to keep them.
' When this is done the older bees are quite liable to return to their original location. While this would not destroy the
olony it is a loss to the purchaser and a nuisance to the seller. In buying bees the points to be considered are: First,
' number of bees; second, condition of brood combs; third, make and condition of hives. The temper or breed of the individ-
' ual bees can be changed by introducing a desirable queen. Soon after this is done, the workers beige the daughters of the
queen.
¢ cE A strong colony can be bought from $4.00 to $8.00. Be sure that the bees and brood are healthy. The selling or mov-
- ing of diseased bees is, in Colorzdo, forbidden by law.
HOW TO CARRY BEES.
' After you have bought bees, the next important thing is to get them home safe. If the weather is hot take off the hive
_ cover, tack a wire cloth over the entire top of the hive and a sirip over the entrance, and be sure that the bottom is fast-
ened securely to the hive body: If the weather is cool fasten the over and bottom securely and tack wire netting over
-the entrance. Use an easy riding vehicle for hauling the bees and drive so as to avoid any sudden jerks or drops, as a
| quick, hard jar is bad for bee comb at any time or any place. The hauling had best be done in the evening or night.
BEST SITUATION FOR AN APIARY.
Place the hives in a locality sheltered from high wind and under the shade of trees if possible. Face them to the south
or southeast and put them, perfectly level, on a Stand 4 or 5 inches above the ground. Make a small hill up to the door-
| step so thata bee, can walk in if she should accidentally miss the board.
" TRANSFERRING,
It does not pay to keep bees in a box hive or any other hive which does not permit the interchange of frames. If the
bees have been bought in box.hives, or hives which are not the style which the buyer wants to use exclusively, transfer-
ring will be necessary. A good manner of transferring, is the following: Make a box 5 to 8 inches deep, just large enough
to exactly cover the bottom of the old hives, no larger, and leave it cpen at one side only, with not even a small crack
on the other sides. Having all things ready for transferring. light a smudge in your smoker, put on your bee veil over a
- hat with a broad, stiff rim, and fasten veil closely at the neck, gather up the hiving box and “go for the bees.” Turn the
' old hive upside down, smoke the bees a little, not using too much smoke, then place the hiving box squarely over the bot-
tom of the old hive and drum on the sides of the hive with two pieces of wood, one in each hand, to drive the bees into
| the hiving box. When you have most of them in the hiving box lift it up gently, carry it to front oftnew hive, which has
' previously been prepared with foundation starters, or full sheets and with an entrance guard fastened to the entrance,
- and dump the bees all ovt, giving the hiving box a few quick upward jerks so as to jar the bees loose from.the sides.
Now take a small brush broom (don’t use feathers, as they anger bees) and quickly brush all clinging bees from the hiving
' box: sit down and watch closely to see that the queen tries to pass through the entrance guard. The guard is placed in po-
sition to avoid a possibility of her going in unobserved. When the queen is seen the guard is to be removed and the
queen allowed to pass in. If you do not see her place hiving box on old hive and drum the bees up, time: after time, until
you do find her and are sure she gets into the new hive; she must be there or the transferring will not’ be a success.
When near all of the bees and the queen are in the new hive, turn the old hive right side up, put on the cover and set it
down about 20 inches back of the new hive, with the entrance turned sidewise from new hive. Let the old hive alone for
_ 21 days, then turn it upside down again, place hiving box on it and drum up the bees. Place an entrance guard in front
of new hive, dump the bees out at the entrance and watch carefully for one or more virgin queens that may appear at the
' guard. Unless they are killed they will get in the hiv® and kill the old queen. Get all the bees in the new hive. The
brood now left in the old hive is drone brood, which is useless. Take out all the honéy fit to use and render all the ola
combs into beeswax. Then your job is completed. If the combs in the original hive are removable the hiving box may be
dispensed with by shaking the bees direct from the frames into the new hive.
HOW TO INTRODUCE A NEW QUEEN,
To change queens, remove the old one, leaving the colony queenless for about 24 hours, then introduce the new queen
' by placing the mailing cage right down among the brood frames. ‘The cage, if it is of the approved style, has an auto-
matie release for the queen and full printed instructions for the Apiarist. As the queen is the mother of all the bees, in
about two months they will all be her progeny. Untested queens will so often be found purely mated and the price is so
much less that we recommend the purchase of this grade. All the standard books on Apiculture treat extensively on in-
troducing new queens. CARE TO BE GIVEN AN APIARY,
ie Spring. On a nice warm day in early spring, when the bees are fiying freely, examine your colonies. If you find one
which vou are sure is queenless, but strong in bees, send for a queen at once; if the colony is weak it is best to unite with
’ a colony having a queen in the following manner: At a time when bees are not flying select the colony with which you
wish to unite the first. Remove the cover from this colony and put an ordinary sheet of newspaper on top, after you have
made a round hole in it, then remove the bottom of the hive containing the weak colony and set it on top of the news-
paper. The bees will go through the paper and quickly unite. If the weather has been pleasant the extra brood chamber
should be removed in about three days. If you find colonies short of honey they should be fed by giving them combs filled
with honey or syrup made as follows: Into a gallon of boiling water, left on the fire, put in 8 pounds of granulated sugar
and stir it continually until all is melted and:the liquid clear; but do not boil; then allow to cool and it is ready to feed.
Summer. When swarming time commences have your empty hives ready to receive the swarms. It is best for a be-
-ginner to let the bees swarm naturally, but if he wants to try artificial swarming, he better wait until alfalfa comes into
bloom. In Colorado it is different from the Hast, where swarming may be done much earlier, as there are not enough
honey-producing flowers in this state much befere alfalfa is in bloom.
If a swarm, when it comes out, settles nearby, all you need to do is to place an empty hive under it and shake the
bees off on top of the brood frames and in front of the hive, and as/soon as the queen enter into the hive all the bees will
follow. If you have to leave home during swarming hours by all means see that the queen’s wings are clipped.
If you do not care for an increase of colonies, catch the queen, which you will find crawling around in front of the
hive trying to fly, if you have clipped her wings in the spring, and temporarily cage ner. While the swarm is still in the
air a new hive is to be set in place of the old. When the bees commence to return the queen is to be liberated at the
entrance of the hive. making sure she goes into it. A few hours later, when the swarm has quieted down, the old hive,
which had been carried a short distance away, is brought back and put on the side of the new one with the entrance facing
another direction. Twenty-one days after the swarm issued place an entrance guard in front of the new hive, drum and
shake the bees from the old hive near the entrance of the new. If the bees are inclined to fight use same smoke. One or
more queens should be found unable to pass the entrance guard. These should be captured and destroyed.
P Winter. In Colorado bees are wintered mostly on their summer stand and in single walled hives. About October
first or a little before look into the hives to ascertain if the colony has ‘a queen and at least 30 pounds of honey in the
brood chambers. Spread 2 or 3 thicknesses of burlap over the frames; then take an empty super, fill it % full of clean, dry
chaff or some other. light material, put on the cover and fasten to super with hive staples, if mice are troublesome nail
' over the entrance a strip of wire netting with meshes big enough to let bees go in and out, and yet too fine to permit the
_ passage of mice. ~ FOUL BROOD AND HOW TO CURE It.
_ This is a highly contagious disease. It is due to a microbe, ‘Bacillus. Alvei,’ whose spores are easily transported
- from hive to hive by the bees when robbing, by the operator, in the honey fed or in combs changed from one hive. to
-another. Once established in an apiary it spreads rapidly, and unless checked energetically from the start all the colonies
- -in the neighborhood will soon be ruined.
= The symptoms are: The turning brown of larvae in open cells; many sealed cells have sunken caps frequently broken
_ in and containing dead larvae in putrid condition, brown or coffee-colored and ropy in consistency. This latter is the most
_ eharacteristic symptom of the disease. To determine this stick a toothpick into the brown mass, twirl it around once or
_ twice and draw it out; if it adheres to the toothpick and pulls out in the form of a string you can be assured that it is
a ease of foul brood. In the more advanced stage of disease a disagreeable glue-like odor is often perceptible. The best
_ remedy to cure foul brood is to transfer the sick colony into a new, clean hive, which should be placed where the old hive
' was and should contain frames with starters of foundation. The new hive should resemble the old one, otherwise the bees
will be confused and enter some other hive.and carry the germs of the disease with them. Do not give them combs, or full
| sheets of foundation, as they must use: up e honey in their honey-sacks for comb-building to get rid of the spores of
_ disease. The best season to do this transferring is when alfalfa is in bloom; then the honey is coming in rapidly. Never
do any transferring when bees are inclined to rob. ez

BEE HIVES te |
BDOVETAILED HIVE FOR COMB HONEY, 144 and 2 STORY.
This hive is furnished either in eight-frame or ten-
frame size. It consists of a plain box of %-inch No. 1 white
pine, 13%x20 inches outside measure, 9% inches deep, rab-
betted %x% deep for frames to rest, with hand holes on
outside. Eight or ten improved Hoffman frames, and fol-
lower board hang in this hive with a.bee space above and
below.
Follower board is cleated on the ends to prevent warp-
ing, and if the cleats are nailed on properly they will form
a full bee-space on the side of board going next to the last
frame. The bottom board is 14x21 inches, and is cleated;
while the cleat in front is leveled down even with the board.
The back cleat forms a bee-space below the frames, leaving
an entrance in front with alighting board two inches wide.
By this means the hive is not cut to form an entrance.
This bottom may be used as a cover in an emergency, or it
may be fastened permanently to the hive, if desired, by two
wood screws, or nailed.
The super is 4% inches deep, with slotted section-
holders, sawed slotted separators, follower, and springs.
When two supers are included with each hive it is then a
two-story hive for comb honey.
All our hives are furnished with Excelsior cover, which
is the best hive cover made, unless otherwise ordered.
This cover has a flat surface on the under side, which
affords a proper bee-space over the brood frames, yet at the
same time it is a sloping cover, and will shed the rain as
well as a gable cover (which it really is), and has the ad-
vantage of double covers made of thin lumber (which splits
up so badly), as it is made from solid boards 1 inch thick at
the center and % inch at the outer edge. There are only five
pieces in this cover, namely: 2 cover boards, 2 cleats and 1
ridge-board.

' Danzenbaker Hive.
DANZENBAKER HIVE.
This hive is slightly shallower than the regular Dove-
tailed Hive, but has exactly the same cubic capacity as the
eight-frame. The brood-frames are just enough shallow so
that the two inches of honey that is usually put above the |}
brood in a regular standard hive frame is crowded up
into the supers, where it will bring the highest market
price. It is made in 10-frame size only. The brood-frames
are closed-end 7% inches deep; 17 inches long and each is
supported by a pivot in the center of the end-bars so that
it may be readily reversed. The reversing feature makes
it possible to get combs built clear out to the end. The
frames are closed-end, and stop those chilling air currents
across the faces of the combs, a matter of supreme import-
ance in the rearing of brood in the spring.

Made in two styles: Open top and bottom, and-plain or no heeway. Average weight of 1,000 sections is seventy pounds.
FIRST QUALITY BASSWOOD SECTIONS—No. i. - ‘
These are to be perfect white sections, all those with weather stains
or black spots on them being culled out. Indeed, they are “snow white.” If
you intend to market-your honey in the large cities, it will pay you to use
the No. 1 white sections. :
Unquestionably our sections this year are second to none. We will be
very pleased to mail samples on application. :
SECOND QUALITY SECTIONS—No. 2.
Second quality sections are those that we do not like to put in the
first quality. Understand, they are perfect sections as far as workmanship
is concerned, but they have dark streaks or spots on them; or, in ‘other
words, they are what are left after the first qualities have been selected out.
If you are producing honey for your own use, these will answer all the ane
poses of a first quality section. 5
Several of our very successful apiarists in Colorado are using these sec~
tions.

THOROUGHBRED POULTRY.
ef. it you want good honest value in breeding stock, we can usually supply same from good reliable poultry men with
tom Whom we have arranged for stock. We do not keep these fowls on hand; thus, it is impossible to fill orders as promptly
we desire. Nearly all of our breeders are located in the country, therefore, when we receive your order it is neces-
a eed sr allowing plenty of air, and taking a cheaper express rate than the canvas coops. Provision is made for
eed and water. 3
‘During the breeding season, or from February 1st to May ist, we try to have on hand a display of good cockerels at
‘store, but outside of this period it is impossible to do this, as the birds which are kept confined are bound to become
‘ kened and sickly in time. The price of these birds depends much on the merit of each particular specimen; there-
fore, it is difficult to give exact prices in the catalogue. :
be Mal ay We have some very choice stock to offer this season, both in males and females of most all breeds with exception of
White Orpingtens. We will have a few good cockerels of this breed to offer, but practically no hens or pullets.. White
_Orpingtons are still so very scarce in Colorado that our breeders refuse to sell their females.
| We are prepared to offer birds of the commoner breed in any number and of any quality.
In writing for birds be sure to state whether you wish utility or show birds.
t We are always glad to make quotations, so do not hesitate to inquire.

4 “ = EGGS FOR HATCHING.
We advertise all kinds of eggs for hatching, but please remember that we do not guarantee them.
_. We secure our eggs from reliable and up-to-date breeders, and we have every reason to believe that they will run
about 85%, fertile, but on account of the amount of handling which they are bound to receive in our hands and in transit,
' we have found it necessary to withdraw any guarantee whatever. We regret very much that we find it necessary to do
this, however we have decided it to be best for all parties Concerned.
_ Please do not order Turkey, Duck and Geese Eggs too early.
' Turkeys and Ducks do not usually start laying in this locality much before March 15th, and as the first eggs are
never the best, we think the-first of April is plenty early. ;
i _ Orders for one and two settings are packed in Anderson Egg Boxes. Each egg has a’compartment, and is carefully
Mat protected by layers of corrugated paper. Larger lots are packed in baskets.

Fire-Proofed and Insurable Self-Regulating
Outdoor Brooders
This style of brooders is built so they can be readily converted into
colony houses or colony roosting coops by removing the adaptable hover.
The special merits of these brooders are:
First—The fume of the lamp cannot pass into the chick chamber.
Second—The lamp is easy of access and the flame may be observed
through the small mica window.
Third—When the temperature underneath the hover is 95 degrees
the surrounding atmosphere is between 80 to 85 degrees, while it is sev-
eral degrees lower in the exercising apartment. The chicks therefore
may suit themselves going to and from the heat at will.
Fourth—They are well lighted, durably built and symmetrical in
i appearance. The floor is in one piece, and the floors of the hover and
| exercising apartment are on the same level, avoiding the use of steps
or inclined runways for the chicks to climb.
Fifth—They are equipped with Fire-Proof Brooder Heater and
Standard Adaptable Hover, and bears the label “Inspected Brooder.”

ADAPTABLE HOVER.
This efficient device is “adaptable” for use anywhere that chicks can be
housed with safety. It is constructed entirely of non-combustible material
and can be used to make a cheap homemade brooder out of a piano box or
any other good box. It is composed of a heater compartment with lamp,
hover, two sections of waste heat pipe and T-fume pipe and windbreak.
The heater compartment is made of heavy galvanized iron, double seamed
and riveted throughout. The Regulating Device is the same as used on
Standard Incubators. A tested brooder thermometer is included with the
fixtures. Weight, crated, 50 lbs.* Price, $9.50.
The Henfriend Brood Coop
It is MITE-PROOF, as mites will not breed or stay in a galvanized metal coop.
It does not absorb moisture and does not become DAMP and FOUL with use. Being
round it has no corners to catch dirt and for the chicks to crowd into and form crooked
backs and tails. 4
The door is all in one piece and can be slid one way against the stop so that the
ehicks can pass in and out and keep the hen in, and by sliding it back the other way it

The cover stands up off of the sides one-half inch, making over six square inches of

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER IF YOU WANT YOUR CHICKENS TO DO WELL:
Do not keep a hen more than two years unless exceptionally good.
Young hens are the early winter layers and they will commence laying when 5 to 8 months old, according to breed
thus if you want them to lay in October, November and December, when eggs are bringing a good price, hatch your chicks
in March, April and beginning of May.
Every year or so introduce new blood into your flock, either by getting a male bird or a setting of eggs. Fowls too
much inbred lose vigor.
Build your houses so as to have plenty of sunshine and fresh air, but be sure that there is no draught and that the
roof is not leaky. Most of the diseases come from draught, dampness and foul air.
_, Feed your chickens enough to keep the body warm and have a little more for laying. Nature requires more feed in
winter to keep the body warm, and hens cannot lay eggs until'this want is first provided for, then the surplus feed goes
to make eggs.
Do not-expect your hens to lay much if you feed grain alone. They must have, to do their best, vegetables or alfalfa
‘meal, meat, ground bone, oyster shell and grit, in addition to grain.
gt
Keep the house clean and free from mites and lice and the chickens will amply repay you for your work.
Don’t feed the chicks wet food. Don’t take chicks out of incubator too soon.
Don’t keep your brooder too warm, Don’t forget to feed mash 3 or 4 times a week.
__ Don’t feed little chicks more than they will eat up clean. ee ee Pate aia, ieters your eels at all

THE “G. H.” APPLE BOX PRESS
As a time and money saver, it
is estimated that with the use of
a “G. H.” Press one man’s time
and wages can be easily saved
every day during the packing
season, besides performing the
boxing with less injury to the
fruit.
One pressure down on the foot
treadle will hold the cover tight
while you nail it. It is easily
and quickly done, and covers are
not split as often happens when
they are nailed in the old way.
Your nails are handy on a tray
and the covers on the side of the
press. Its light weight enables
the user to carry it conveniently
to any part of the orchard.
The press is made so that it
can be readily adjusted for use
in boxing Apples, Pears, Peaches
and other fruit packages.
Apple Box Press.
The “G. H.” Press is used very extensively throughout
every fruit district in Colorado, and makes a friend wher-
ever it is used.
