A Tribute from the Press

Referring to our exhibit at the North Carolina State Fair,
at Raleigh, October the 17th to 22d, at which we were
awarded the Blue Ribbon and Diploma for the second time,
The Raleigh News and Observer of October the 21st pays the

following tribute:

SEED EXHIBITION
F BREAT MERI

Attracted Attention of Thousands
at the Fair

T TOOK BLUE ABBON

Diploma Also Awarded to the Seed
Exhibit of Diggs and Beadles Com-
pany, of Richmond, Va.—It is One
of the Handsomest Seed Exhibits
Ever Made in the South—The
Quality of the Seed Par Excellence
—In Personal Charge of Mr. Diggs.
President of the Company, Whose
Courtesy and Information Won
Many Friends For His Establish-
ment.

The farmers in this State as well as
in other Southern States have waked
up to the realization of the great im-
portance of good seed for their pros-
pective crops. They know that good
crops cannot be produced from poor
seeds. The day of planting any old
seed that could be scraped up has
passed, and in consequence the yield
among all kinds of crops in the State
is on the increase.

This is apropos of the splendid seed
exhibit of Diggs and Beadles, of Rich-
mond, Va., which occupied a con-
spicuous place in exhibition hall. This
exhibition yesterday was awarded the

| blue ribbon and diploma for the ex-

cellency of the exhibit.
The exhibit has attracted thousands
of farmers and others who have visit-
ed the Fair, and all were loud in their
praise of the excellence of the seed
and the elaborateness of the display.
The exhibit embraces all kinds of
seed, garden and field and grasses.
All the various varieties were neatly
packed with top exposure. The seeds
were perfectly clean and their fresh-
ness and perfection were the subject
of the most favorable comment. No
handsomer seed exhibit has ever been
made at any State Fair here.

The exhibit was under the personal
eare of Mr. Albert C. Diggs, the
president of the company, who has
made q host of friends and customers
—no doubt because of the courteous
manner in which he received the
great number who stopped to inspect
the showing. The exhibit will result
in great good to the farmers and oth-
ers who plant seed, as it was a strik-
ing object lesson of the importance
of the best seed.
Mr. Diggs imparted much valuable
information to callers and none could
go away without being impressed with
the fact that Diggs and Beadles is
an important seed establishment in a
Southern city that is worthy of the
patronage of Southern farmers.

The Diggs and Beadles Company
has been established at Richmond.
Va., for nine years and enjoys an ex-
tensive trade in Virginia, North anda
South Carolina. The trade growth ot
this firm has been very rapid, show-
ing an increase of 33 1-3 per cent. an-
nually, demonstrating that the peonle
are after the best seed and appreciate
business attention. Mr. Diggs is every
inch a seed man and this rapid devel-
opment of trade is largely due to the
personal attention he gives to the
business in Richmond.
The house does both a wholesale
and retail business and the motto of
the firm, in the language of Mr. Diggs,
is: ‘““No order too small for careful
attention; no order too big for us to
handle.”’

To Our Friends and Customers:

The sale of DIGGS & BEADLES, SUPERIOR SEEDS in 1910 far exceeded any pre-
vious year in our history. Thisis very gratifying, for every progressive merchant who
sells high grade goods likes to see such practical evidence of their customers’ apprecia-
tion.

Each of the 8 years we have been in business has witnessed striking increase in the
volume of business done.

This success has not come to us merely by advertising and hard work, but because
we have given full value for all money received, and this is evidenced by the many
kind expressions of appreciation of the High Grade goods we send out.

Each year demonstrates more clearly to the intelligent Farmer the value and neces-
sity of sowing the highest grade Seeds, and as a consequence, the demand for high
grade Seeds is rapidly increasing. Some dealers have made irreparable mistakes
trying to secure trade by lowering price at the expense of quality, but the day for this
sort of merchandising is fast passing away. For the intelligent Farmer has come to
appreciate the economic value of sowing only the highest grade Seeds obtainable.
The best crops can be produced only from the best Seeds, and the Farmer remem-
bers his good crops long after the price paid for the Seed is forgotten.

The growth of our business we attribute in a large measure to the high grade
STANDARD SEEDS we carry at all times, and our persistent efforts to induce our
customers to sow nothing but the highest grade. That these efforts on our part are
generally recognized and appreciated is our highest reward, for the foundation of our
business is the confidence of our customers.

Honesty, liberality and promptness are the factors which have helped us to make
the friends we have. We aim to merit friendship by treating our customers right; if
we fail to please you, tell us, if we succeed, tell your friends. For our experience has
proven that a satisfied customer is the best advertisement any business house can

ave.

PLANT GOOD SEEDS AND THEY WILL GROW GOOD CROPS.

To insure against sending out any but reliable Seeds—we have recently established
and thoroughly equipped a Seed Laboratory for analysizing and testing all the Seeds
we send out, and we were most fortunate in securing the services of a thoroughly
competent and skilled Seed Analyist and Botanist from the Seed Laboratory of the
Department of Agriculture in Washington. We now have an up-to-date Seed Labo-
ratory, unsurpassed for accurate seed testing, both as to purity and germination,
and our customers can rest assured that all Seeds purchased from us have been
thoroughly and carefully tested, and under ordinary conditions and with proper
cultivation will certainly grow good crops.

Do not be misled by exaggerated illustrations and superlative descriptions into
buying extravagant wonders and novelties at high prices, but place your order for
reliable Seeds with DIGGS & BEADLES whom you know to be responsible Seed
Merchants and will fill your order with credit to themselves and satisfaction to you.

With thanks and sincere appreciation for your generous patronage and valued
influence in the past, and soliciting your future orders which will have our best
attention always—and wishing you all a year of much happiness and prosperity
during 1911, we are,

Most respectfully,
DIGGS & BEADLES, Inc.
Richmond, Virginix,
January 2nd, 1911.

personal checks are sent, add 15 cents to cover the cost of ccllecting. Banks now charge exchange

BE SURE TO GIVE FULL NAME AND ADDRESS with each order. Every season we get
a number of orders without name of sender or Post Office, and the post mark on the envelope is often
too obscure to be made out. There is no way of finding out who the senders are; consequently we
are blamed, whereas the fault is their own entirely. We therefore beg our correspondents to write
their full name and address on each order.

YOU RUN NO RISK in sending cash with your order. Our reputation as honest and experi-
enced Seedsmen is well known. while our financial responsibility can be learned of any Bank, Trust

CHANGE OF ADDRESS—Should any of our customers change their Post Office address we
would be glad if they would advise us. It also sometimes happens that our customers receive two
Catalogues, should you receive two, we would thank you to hand one to some friend who does not

that the complete satisfaction of our customers is our first wish, and we are glad to rectify errors,
and an opportunity to make restitution is always sincerely appreciated.

PRICES ON FIELD SEEDS, ONION SETS AND POTATOES are constantly fluctuating:
The prices given in this Catalogue are those ruling January 2nd, 1911. But they may change at
any time. We will cheerfully quote prices at any time on request, and we will always fill orders
entrusted to us at the lowest prices possible for the best quality seeds. It sometimes occurs that the
prices of articles may have changed between the time our catalogue is printed and receipt of orders.
When such is the case on paid orders, if the article ordered is cheaper, we will send the value of such
articles at the ruling prices. If the articles are higher we will deduct the quantity to meet the
amount of remittances.

ABOUT WARRANTING SEEDS—We exercise the greatest possible care in growing or buying,
ir examining, in testing and in every department of the business to guard against mistakes and insure
reliability, yet no Seedsman can, or ever does in good faith, assume any responsibility for crops
grown from seeds supplied by them, therefore in common with all responsibility American Seed Houses,
we sell our goods subject to the following disclaimer, it being that adopted by the American Seed
Trade Association, and all orders sent us will be filled under these conditions only: Diggs & Beadles,
Inc., give no warranty, express or implied, as to description, purity, productiveness, or any other

too much manure on this crop.

| IRISH POTATOES ||

For earliest crops, planting in November or December does well in some sections. If planted
in spring, do so as early as ground can be prepared, in rich soil; rows 3 feet apart, plants 15 inches
apart in row. Manure should be well rotted and mixed with soil to avoid scab. For late crops
plant June to August. We advise the use of sulphur on potatoes when planting. Sprinkle powdered
sulphur on the cut tubers, which is a preventative of blight and scab. Many of our largest potato
planters always use it, with the best results. 1 lb. is sufficient for 1 bushel of potatoes. We can
supply this at 5 cts. per lb. Ten lbs. or over at 4 cts. per lb. Barrel prices on application. Our
stock of potatoes are grown for us by the most reliable potato growers, especially for seed purposes,
and is not to be compared with the cheap Western stock generally offered by grocers and produce
houses. The prices of potatoes are constantly fluctuating. The prices quoted here are the ruling
prices January 2, 1911. We will be glad to quote firm prices at any time on request. We quote
some of these potatoes in heavy 11-peck sacks. If varieties so quoted are wanted in bbls. the price
will be 25 cts. above the sack prices.

IRISH COBBLER—Is one of the most popular
of the early varieties. It is of handsome cream

selection of the best sorts, so that our customers would not get bewildered among a labyrinth of vari-
eties, many of which are of no special merit. Flower Seeds priced at 5 cents per packet are 6 packets
for 25 cents; or 25 packets, your own selection, for $1.00; 10 cent packets are 3 for 25 cents; or 13
for $1.00. The word “annual” after the name of the variety, means that the flowers blossom only
the first year it is planted, and the seed should be planted each year. The word “perennial” indi-
cates that the variety comes up and blossoms for several years after sowing.

GERMAN CRIMSON OR ANNUAL CLOVER
(TRIFOLIUM INCARNATUM)—Makes excellent
green foliage, or if cut when in bloom will make
good hay. Especially valuable for improving the
soil, making a quick, heavy and very valuable
crop for plowing under. May be sown to advantage
among corn, cotton or tobacco at the last cultiva-
tion, and will afford a dense mat for turning under

ALSIKE CLOVER (TRIFOLIUM HYBRIDUM)—This is probably the best variety to sow
with other grasses for a good mixed hay. On stiff, moist soil, makes pasture, but is chiefly valuable
for hay. Stands cold well, on either wet or dry soils. Largely sown for bees. Sow 10 to 20 pounds
to the acre. Price fluctuates. Present price—D. & B.’s Best, 18 cts. lb.; $10.00 bu.

WHITE DUTCH CLOVER (TRIFOLIUM REPENS)—Thrives in any soil or climate, and being
of low, creeping growth, is especially valuable for pastures and lawns. D. & B.’s Best, per Ib., 30
cts.; 10 Ibs. or over at 28 cts. Ib.

GRASSES.

ORCHARD GRASS (DACTYLIS GLOMERATA)—This is one of the
most reliable grasses for hay or pasture in this section, making quick, vig-
} orous and continuous growth from early spring to winter. Sow 2 bushels
per acre in spring or fall, and in any soil; loamy upland is best. Also ex-
cellent to mix with other grasses. Price fluctuates. Present price—D. &
B.’s Best, $2.50 per bu.; choice, $2.40 per bu.

ci TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS (AVENA ELATIOR)—A most valuable
grass for the South, as it stands heat and drought well and flourishes on dry,
light soils. Splendid for pastures and for hay; may be cut twice in a season.

Sow 2 1-2 bushels to the acre. Price fluctuates. Present price—Per bu.,
D. & B.’s Best, $2.10.

TIMOTHY (PHLEM PRATENSE)—Very nutritious, and salable for
hay, but not so good for pasture, as it is injured by close cutting or grazing.
Thrives best on heavy soils, especially if moist, and should not be sown on
light, dry land. Good results are obtained if mixed with Red Top Herd’s
Grass, Sapling Clover, Alsyke or some grass maturing at same time. Sow 15
pounds to the acre. Price fluctuates. Present price—D. & B.’s Best, $5.00
per bu., choice, $4.75 per bu. of 45 lbs.

RED TOP, OR HERD’S GRASS (ARGROSTIS VULGARIS)—This
excellent pasture and haygrass does well on any soil. But, perhaps, thrives
a ~ better on moist, heavy soils than on light. It spreads and thickens from
Orcharaneraee year to year, and will gradually supplant other grasses. Matures at same time

as Timothy, with which it makes a good mixture. Sow 10 to 12 pounds clean
seed to the acre. Price fluctuates. Present price—D. & B.’s Best, 18 cts. per Ib.; 100 Ibs., $17.00.
Choice seed, per lb., 17 cts.; per 100 Ibs., $16.00. Unhulled seed, 12 cts. per Ib.; $11.00 per 100 lbs.

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS (POA PRATENSIS)—This grass succeeds
best on limestone soil, but does’ well on any stiff soil. Stands cold. but does
not do well in extreme heat. Grows slowly at first, making a thick, compact
turf. First-class for lawns or pasture. Succeeds better, however, when
mixed with other grasses. Sow in fall or spring. Two and a half bushels
to the acre. Price fluctuates. Present price—D. & B.’s Best, per Ib., 30
cts.; $3.50 per bu. of 14 Ibs.

CANADA BLUE GRASS (POA COMPRESSA)—Similar to the Ken-
tucky Blue Grass, and is recommended by authorities on grasses for our
Southern soils, as it is very hardy and resists drought. We specially recom-
mend its use in mixtures for lawns and pastures. Per lb., 25 cts.; per bu.,
$2.50.

MEADOW FESCUE, RANDALL, OR ENGLISH BLUE GRASS
(FESTUCA PRATENSIS)—Remains green all winter, making fine, nutri-
tious pasture, and also yields well as a hay crop. Largely used in grazing

sections. Sow 2 bushels to the acre. Price fluctuates. Present price—Per bu., of 14 lbs., $4.00.

PERENNIAL RYE GRASS (LOLIUM PERENE)—Good for hay and pasture, if sown on
strong, moist soil, but does not stand drought well. It grows rapidly and matures very early, and
lasts several years. Sow 30 pounds to the acre. Price fluctuates. Present price—Per bu. of 14
lbs., $1.00.

ITALIAN RYE GRASS (LOLIUM ITALICUM)—Larger and stronger than Perennial Rye
Grass; has large, broad, glossy green blades. Thrives best on moist, fertile soils, furnishing three or
four cuttings a year. Sow 3 bushels to the acre. Price fluctuates. Present price—Per bu. of 14
Ibs., $1.20.

BERMUDA GRASS—A valuable grass for permanent sod, and especially recommended for
dams and terraces, as it has long, tough roots and of a matty growth; prevents land washing; would
not advise sowing on land which is to be planted in other crops, as it is very tenacious in habit and
very hard to eradicate after it once gets a hold. Sow in March or April, 3 to 5 pounds to the acre,
in well-prepared soil. Lb., 60 cts.

CREEPING BENT GRASS (AGROSTIS STOLONIFERA)—Very hardy, standing trampling
of pasture or lawns better than any other grass. Thrives best in moist lands. Sow 40 pounds to
the acre. Price fluctuates. Present price—Per lb., 35 cts.; 10 lbs. and over at 30 cts.

HARD FESCUE (FESTUCA DURIUSCULA)—This makes excellent lawns and pasture on
dry soils and stands drought well; keeps green all winter. Sow 2 1-2 bushels to the acre. Price
fluctuates. Present price—Per lb., 25 cts.; per bu. of 14 Ibs., $2.50.

SHEEP FESCUE (FESTUCA OVINA)—Excellent for sheep pastures and flourishes on dry,
rocky soil, where other grasses will not grow. Makes a short, thick, deep turf, especially valuable
for pleasure grounds. Sow 2 bushels to the acre. Price fluctuates. Present price—Per lb., 25
cts.; per bu. of 14 lbs., $2.50.

We can furnish grass seed in suitable mixtures to suit any location or purpose, for permanent

Recommended for medium light upland soil for hay or grazing purposes. Many of our cus-
tomers have used this mixture with the most gratifying results.

The quantities recommended for an acre—1 Bushel Orchard Grass; 1 Bushel Tall Meadow Oat

Herds Grass or Red Top; 3 lbs. Sapling Clover; 2 lbs. Alsike Clover.

Thompson’s Prolific Corn.

THOMPSON’S PROLIFIC—This has proven to be a superior variety of field corn. It was
introduced by us several years ago, and many of our customers tell us it is the most profitable corn
they have ever grown. It does not grow as tall, or have as large a stalk as Cocke’s or Blount’s
Prolific, but has from 2 to 4 ears to the stalk. The ears are larger than either Cocke’s or Blount’s,
with white, deep grains. It is decidedly the best prolific corn for medium land. Qt., 15 cts.; pk.,
50 cts.; bu., $1.40.

King and Queen County, Va., October 10th, 1910.
I was very much pleased with the Thompson’s Prolific Corn I bought from you this year. It

was the only variety I planted, and I had by far the best yield I ever made.
DR. THOMAS B. LATANE.

BATT’S FOUR EAR PROLIFIC—This corn was originated and introduced a few years ago by
Mr. J. F. Batts, of Wake County, N. C., after many years of careful selections, and with it he has
made most phenomenal yields, the record yield this year being 228 bushels to the acre. We secured
our seed stock direct from Mr. Batts last year, and had ourseed raised in Virginia, and a most excellent
crop was made. Qt., 20 cts.; pk., 60 cts.; bu., $2.00.

COCKE’S PROLIFIC—A very valuable white variety making enormous yield on rich land.
Ears of good size; grains white and flinty; superior quality for meal and hominy. Qt., 15 cts.; pk.,
50 cts.; bu., $1.40.

BLOUNT’S PROLIFIC—Remarkably prolific white corn of flinty nature, producing three to

Poultry and Food Supplies.

GLOBE POULTRY FOOD.

This is scientifically prepared by practical poultry experts to meet all the demands of growing
and full-grown fowls.

Only materials that grade in every respect up to our high standard are used—carefully selected
cracked and whole grains and seeds, sunflower, oil cake, buckwheat and charcoal, sifted and recleaned
until they are entirely free from dust and chaff. Globe Scratch Feed is a complete and balanced
ration for grown fowls in all seasons. 10 lbs., 25 cts.; 25 lbs., 60 cts.; 50 lbs., $1.10; 100 Ibs., $2.00.

We also offer this Food without grit or shells in it at $2.10 per 100 Ibs.

CRESCENT CHICK FOOD—A complete grain feed for chicks from 3 to 8 weeks old. Itisa
standard mixture of recleaned cracked grains and seed, hulled oats, fine granulated bone and fine
charcoal. It produces healthy and rapid growth, and is intended for feeding until the chickens are
large enough to be fed the coarse Scratch Feed. A trial will demonstrate its feeding value. 8 lbs.,
25 cts.; 25 lbs., 70 cts.; 50 lbs., $1.20; 100 lbs., $2.25.

QUEEN POULTRY MASH—A selected mixture of ground feeds, manufactured from the choicest
sound, sweet and wholesome grains. It is carefully prepared and contains ingredients in proper
proportions essential to the health and growth of the fowl.

It is splendid bone builder and especially helpful during the Molt. Also contains beef scraps and
charcoal, recognized necessities for health and egg production.

This mixture is especially formulated to meet the demands for a high grade mash feed, and is
suitable for either the morning, noon or evening meal, whichever method preferred.

Mix with warm water during cold weather, and feed damp and crumbly. 10 lbs., 25 cts.; 25
Ibs., 60 cts.; 50 Ibs., $1.10; 100 lbs., $2.00.

KING PIGEON FOOD—Right feeding of pigeons is considered something of a problem. Most
raisers do not understand either the pigeon or its feeding as well as they do poultry. The true fancier
—the man who raises birds for their beauty, for the show, for the pleasure there is in it, or for sport-
ing—finds in King Pigeon Feed a combination suited to his needs.

The seeds are especially chosen for pigeon feeding. Only those that have proven to be best adap-
ted for this particluar purpose are used. These include various grains, cracked and whole, peas and
seeds, all clean, well matured, and always of a size so that the birds, young or old, are able to use
every particle of it. 8 lbs., 25 cts.; 25 lbs., 70 cts.; 50 Ibs., $1.20; 100 lbs., $2.80. No grit per 100
Ibs., $2.40.

a mash, can be used alone or mixed with other mash food. It is an excellent substitute for green
grass. 10 lbs., 25 cts.; 25 Ibs., 50 cts.; 50 Ibs., $1.00.; 100 lbs., $1.75.

RAVA MEAT MEAL—A pure lean-beef fibre, carefully dried while fresh, and will keep in-
definitely. Its thorough dryness and the entire absence of any taint or unpleasant odor, make it a
most excellent form of food for chickens and other fowls, as also for dogs. It is excellent for hopper
feeding and may be mixed and fed in a mash to great advantage.

It contains 85 per cent. protein and 7 per cent. fat, and is clean and free of all preservatives and
chemicals. Per lb., 5 cts.; 10 Ibs., 45 cts.; 25 Ibs., $1.00; 50 Ibs., $1.85; 100 lbs., $3.50.

CRUSHED OR GRANULATED BONE—Splendid to be used in connection with other feeds
to increase egg production, to be fed dry just as it is either in a hopper or to be scattered about as a
scratch food. It is clean and dry, and will not sour. No. 2 for grown fowls; No. 3 for chicks, and
pigeons; No. 4 or Bone Meal for baby chicks. 6 lbs. for 25 cts.; 25 Ibs., 90 cts.; 50 lbs., $1.60; 100
Ibs., $3.00.

CRUSHED OYSTER SHELLS—Indispensable for successful poultry keeping, as it aids diges-
tion and the formation of egg shells. It is best to have it where the fowls can get at it all the time,
as they will not eat any more than they need. 5 lbs., 10 cts.; 25 lbs., 30 cts.; 100 Ibs., 60 cts.; ton,

“TD. & B.” Charcoal should not be confounded with the ordinary commercial charcoal, which
is not evenly graded, generally contains large quantities of dust and is not always free from danger-
ous poisons.

“T), & B.”’ Charcoal aids digestion, promotes health, and is generally corrective of many of the
poultry ills to which fowls are heir. A little charcoal goes a long way and is worth its weight in gold.

POULTRY REMEDIES

“D. & B.’S LICE POWDER—This is a scientifically compounded powder for killing all
forms of insect life on fowls. It is also equally good for destroying lice on cattle and horses, ticks
- on sheep and fleas on dogs. It is clean to handle, easy to apply and sure in effect. It car be used
in the nests of setting hens without injuring young chickens. There are many good lice preparations
on the market, but may of them only relieve the fowl for a time. We believe “D. & B.’S” Lice
Powder to be the strongest and most effective Lice Powder on the market and while it is sure death
to all kinds of insect life which generally affect fowls and animals it is harmless when used according
to the plainly printed directions on each package. It can also be used on plants and bushes, as a
protection against plart lice. Carpets are never moth eaten when ‘‘D. & B.’S”’ Lice Powder is used.

prevents the strength of the powder being dissipated after the box has been opened for use, as is the
case with most other sifter top packages; 15 oz. box, fancier’s size, 25 cents; by mail, 40 cents.

“D. & B.S ROUP CURE—In addition to curing, Roup prevents and cures common colds and
canker in both pigeons and poultry. It jis a powerful and quick acting powder and is administered
by putting it in the fowls drinking water, this being the easiest and most successful method of treat-
ing because by this method the fowls take their own medicine. When the disease is so far advanced
that the fowls cannoé see to drink, their head and eyes may be bathed in the remedy until they re-
cover so as to be able to drink their medicine. ‘“‘D & B.’s’” Roup Cure is put up in wooden boxes
containing sufficient remedy for making 10 gallons of medicine. Price, 25 cents; by mail, 30 cents.

“D. & B.’S” LICE KILLER is a fluid of such strength and so compounded that the gaseous
vapor given off by it kills lice, mites and similar insects without coming in contact with them, and is
not injurious to fowls, animals or poultry. It is very efficacious for destroying lice on fowls of all
kinds, Horses, Cattle and Hogs. It also kills Jice on roses and other flowering plants. It may be
applied with ap ordinary hard sprayer, or with a whitewash brush. We recommend the use of our
glass tank sprayer. One quart bottle, 25 cents.

STERLINGWORTH SALT CAT—Thisis a scientific com-
bination of those aromatic and tonic properties contained in
such seed ard roots as gentian, anise, coriander, etc., combined
with sulphur, charcoal. limestone, salt, bone ard othe4
materials that are generally recognized by pigeon keepers as
aiding digestion, promoting good health and egg production
in p'geons and game fowls; and is unequalled for keeping
pigeons in vigorous health.. As a promoter of endurance
and egg production it is unexcelled. Pigeor keepers who have
used it give it an excellent recommendation. Price—Per
brick, 10 cents; by mail, 30 cents; per dozen, $1.00.

**Planet Jr.”’? Farm and Garden Tools

Space will not permit our showing and describing all of the ‘Planet Jr.” tools, but we will send
a fully illustrated catalogue free for the asking to any who desire it, and we can supply promptly

anything ordered.

your order to us you can rely on getting bottom prices.

Drill, Single Wheel
Hoe, Cultivator and
Plow, Price $10. As
a Seeder only $8.00.

This is the most popular combined tool
made. It combines in a single implement
a first-class hill-dropping seeder, a Single Wheel
Hoe or weeder, a cultivator, and a plow. The
hopper holds two quarts of seed, which can be
sown in continuous rows, or dropped in hills at
4, 6, 8, 12 or 24 inches apart.

The drill is detached and the tool frame sub-
stituted by removing but one bolt. It then
becomes a single wheel hoe. It is useful almost
every day of the season, at every stage of the
garden work. With this one implement the
small farmer can do practically all the work in
his small crops.

Planet, Jr., No. 17, Single
Wheel Hoe, Cultivator and
Plow. Price, $4.50.

For easy gardening, and at the same time clean
and perfect gardening, the kind that will make
your garden the talk of the neighborhood, and
cause your face to glow with honest pride,
nothing is quite the equal of this No. 17 Wheel
Hoe. It is suited to all kinds of garden cultiva-
tion and all garden crops. You can do more
and better hoeing with it in 1 day than you can
in 3 days with a hand hoe. The No. 17 has a
pair of 6-inch hoes, a plow and set of cultivator
teeth, an outfit sufficient for most garden work.
Other attachments can be added at any time.

Two acres a day can easily be worked with
this implement, and when it is done it will be
a better job than three men could have done in
the same time with hand hoes. The No. 12
runs either astride or between the rows; kills
all the weeds and leaves the earth in fine shape.
Then, too, it’s so easy to work. ‘Twelve-year-old
girls work gardens with them with ease and
success.

The No. 12 has a pair of 6-inch hoes, a pair
of plows for opening or covering, and a set of
4 all-steel cultivator teeth. The tools shown
are what gardeners use most, and others can be
added as wanted.

This tool is exceedingly useful to owners of
smalr gardens. It will throw a furrow four to
Six inches wide and one to three inches deep.

Furrows for manure or seeds can be opened and

covered. In cultivating, plow away, weed and
plow back again. This tool will enable a busy
man to do in his spare minutes nearly all the
work of a family garden. Chicken raisers find
it of great advantage in plowing up their scratch-
ing yards.

It was largely used last year by the farmers and truckers
around Charleston, 8. C., Wilmington, N. C., and Norfolk.,
Va., with the most satisfactory results.

It is entirely organic in nature and therefore permanent in
the good it does the land. As it is a natural product, it contains
no injurious acid, while it contains lime which is of great benefit
to land on which large quantities of acid fertilizers have been
used in the past. It was used by our trade last season with the
most gratifying results.

GEM SEED POTATO CUTTER.

The construction of this Potato Cutter is very simple and it is built for accuracy as well as con-
venience. It is strong and durable. The knives are of good quality steel and are fit to grooves
in the frame, making them easy to remove if necessary. It will cut any size potato in pieces, thereby
assuring more accurate planting when power planting is used. From 6 to 8 bushels can be cut by
it in an hour. The time and labor saved will more than pay for it the first time it is used, and it
will fill a long felt want with potato growers. Price, $2.50.

D. & B.’s Finest Mixed Lawn Grass

We have made a careful study of the difficulties met with in making a permanent lawn, and
the result of our efforts is this splendid mixture.

This special mixture is composed entirely of the very highest grade, and most suitable grasses,
as respects color, texture and permanency.

It is far better than the Kentucky Blue Grass, as it produces beautiful green velvety sward in
quicker time (which is in 6 to 8 weeks from time of sowing) and is of more permanent lasting qualities.
It is better adapted to the various soils, and stands the heat and drought of summer as well as the
severe cold better than any of the various mixtures so commonly offered.

That we have been successful in securing the most desirable combination is shown in the char-
acter of the fine lawns produced from this seed in our city parks, and in beautiful Hollywood and
Oakwood cemeteries, as well as many country estates who use this mixture in very large quantities.

It should be kept in mind, when comparing prices, that this mixture is all of the choicest, cleanest
and heaviest seeds; is entirely free from weed seeds, and weighs 20 pounds to the bushel, as compared
with the legal weight of 14 pounds. Price, per pound, 30 cents; 5 pounds, $1.20; per bushel of 20
pounds, $4.00.

Preparation and Care of Lawns

The proper preparation of the ground in starting a new lawn is essential. This is too often neg-
lected. The ground should be deeply plowed, or spaded deep enough to leave a bed of loose earth
4 to 6 inches deep. This should be thoroughly pulverized and raked, removing all sticks, roots and
stones. After getting the ground perfectly smooth, put on an application of Raw Bone Meal, at the
rate of 5 pounds to the 300 square feet or 1,000 pounds to the acre. DO NOT USE STABLE
MANURE, it is unsightly, and is also a hot-bed of weed seeds and worms (the very thing to be
guarded against in laying a foundation for a lawn). Sow the seeds at the rate of 1 pound to the
300 square feet or 4 bushels to the acre. The land should then be gone over with a heavy roller, or
the seed raked in thoroughly with a small hand-rake. The best months for seeding a lawn are Febru-
ary, March, April or October. Let the grass get a start of 4 inches before cutting, as too early
cutting retards growth; after this cut every ten days, and water thoroughly once a week in the evening
is sufficient, watering every day has a tendency to keep the roots of the grass near the surface, and
are likely to be burnt out by the hot midday sun.
