Everywhere ,
U. S. A.

I cannot meet all of you personally and talk to yow.
face to face, as I should like to do-
Hence we have to let this letter take the place of a
personal visit, and I want right here at the start to ask
you to take every word in it with all the confidence that
you would take if you cpuld look into my eyes and know that
I am telling you the truth:

You want good seeds--a large part of your success de-
pends upon that.

I want good customers- -all of my success depends upon

that .

And the only way in which I can get you for a good e-us-
tomer, is to give you such seeds and plants and bulbs as
will thoroughly satisfy you.

I am .doing that now for thousands and thousands ©f
customers--and doing it so well that the volume of my busi-
ness has doubled in the past- year-. This has enabled me
more than double my facilities, and I am now in position t*e
give you even better service than ever before.

My business has been built up to its present propor-
tions on the Square Deal principle. I ask your orders for
1911 on the promise of the highest quality at the lowest
possible prices. I will see to it that you are perfectly
satisfied. Sincerely yours,

ZIMMERMAN'S SUPERB MIXTURES

AS SHOWN ON FRONT COVER OF THIS CATALOGUE

SUPERB SWEET PEAS

finest varieties, selected with great care. The flower stems are unusually long, while the
blossoms are extra large, making a combination at once beautiful and attractive. This mix-,
ture contains some 50 varieties, comprising all the new strains, including the finest of
Spencers. All the colors are well represented, and you will find it the most pleasing mix
ture you have ever planted. Packet, 10 cents ; ounce, 15 cents ; % pound, 40 cents, postpaid.

GIANT PANSY MIXTURE

See illustration on front cover of this catalogue. This contains all the handsomest,
largest and richest pansies known. I*have prepared this mixture with especial care, select-
ing only the giant pansies, securing all the seed from Germany and putting in nothing but
what is known to me to be the very finest. Pansy seed is so expensive that it is almost im-
possible for the average lover of this grand flower to secure all the best varieties in separate
colors, and the average mixtures are unsatisfactory, but 1 wish to assure you that all the
best types are included in this Giant Mixture. It will give satisfaction wherever planted.

colors Packet, 10 cents ; 2 packets, 15 cents, postpaid.

EARLY RED VALENTINE.

HENDERSON'S — The earliest Lima Bean. Is not so large as the
Burpee, but much earlier. They are very productive and grow in
compact form, without poles or stakes, and product large crops of
delicious beans which are easily gathered. What they lack in size
they make up in earliness, hardiness and continuous productiveness.

BEANS-^Dwarf Wax Podded.

Zimmerman's Stringless Wax,

This new Bean promises to be a great accession to gardners, and
to take a place among Wax Beans like the Burpee's Stringless
Green Pod has among the Green Pods. The pods are round, abso-
lutely stringless, very tender and meaty and of the finest flavor.
Our growers have been working on this Bean for ten years, and
we believe have it as n.ear perfection as is possible in a bean.
The plants are large, without runners, and are filled with fruit-laden
branches, producing the crop very early in the season. Owing to
its being of such fine flavor, so tender and brittle and at the, same
time so prolific, it is bound to be in great demand with gardners.
Our growers say they have never yet found anything to compare
with it. As before stated, the pods are absolutely round and
rich yellow color, while the bean itself is a purplish color, being
entirely different from anything yet offered in the bean line. We
want you to try it and the price is right. Pkt 5c, fa pt 15c, pt
25c, qt 40c, postpaid. By express or freight, qt 25c, 4 qts 80c,
peck $1.50.

ZIMMERMAN'S STRINGLESS WAX.

Zimmerman's German Wax,

We have here a very select strain of German Wax
Bean and haye received many letters from Gardners
oyer the country complimenting the superior quality of
our strain of German Wax Beans. They all pronounce
it the earliest wax bean in cultivation and one of the
very best. The pods are a beautiful golden waxy
color; of good size, round, slightly surved, meaty,
tender, and of the highest quality and stringless. It
is very productive and cannot be excelled as a home
or market bean. Pkt 5c, V 2 pt 12c, pt 20c, qt 35c,

DWARF BLACK WAX — An old favorite and popu-
lar in many sections. Same price as German Wax.

WARDWELL'S KIDNEY WAX.

ZIMMERMAN'S GERMAN WAX.

Wardwell's Kidney Wax.

This is one of the best known wax beans and is
favorite everywhere, especially with Market Gardners.
It is one of the earliest and most productive of bean r .
The pods are long, showy, very tender, stringless and
of most excellent quality. Pkt 5c, V2 pt 12c, pt 20c,

qts 75c, peck $1.40.

IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX — In spite of all the new

sorts of beans being introduced every year, our trade
calls for more Golden Wax. This great popularity is
due largely to the fact that the variety we have is a
great improvement on the old Golden Wax, having
larger pods and being more prolific. This improved
stock is one of the handsomest beans we have ever
seen, the pods a dark rich golden yellow color and of
perfect shaps. Pkt 5c, % pt 12c, pt 20c, qt 35c,

DAVIS WHITE WAX— Very productive, bearing
large, straight, handsome pods in great abundance.
Pods are 5 to 6 inches long and almost without flesh.
-It is a ,good shipper, fine for canning, as it does not
discolor: the dry beans are large, pure white and fine
for winter use as shell beans. Pkt 5c, Vz pt 12c. pt

Golden Wax Beam

A decided improvement over the old Golden Wax.
It produces an enormous quantity of beautiful, long,
bright pods ; clear, transparent color and of delicious
flavor. Our tests have shown it to be entirely rust
proof. It is especially valuable on account of its
heavy bearing qualities. The stock we offer will be
found to be the highest possible quality . This is one

KENTUCKY WONPER — I consider this one of the best and most profitable beans
grown. The pods usually measure over 7 inches in length and are so filled with large
meaty beans that they are greater in width than breadth. They are of the finest quality
entirely stringless and willbear heavily the entire season. There is no better bean on the
market than the Kentucky Wonder and my stock is selected with great care. Be sure to
try this grand bean.

HAZY WIFE — Pods six inches in length, produced in great abundance ; broad, fleshy
and entirely stringless ; possess a rich buttery flavor when cooked. As a shell bean for
Winter they have iew equals and no superior.

CUTSHORT or Cornhill — This is an old and very popular variety for planting
among the corn. In some sections it is used almost exclusively, many persons desiring
Bo other. The pods are short, round and very tender ; beans nearly oblong.

KING OF TEE GARDEN, LIMA- The largest, finest and best pole lima bean grown
The pods are of enormous size and produce 5 to 7 large beans to the pod. Market garden-
ers can secure a more ready sale and better price for this variety than any other, on ac-
count of its large size coupled with superior quality.

EARLY GOLDEN CLUSTER WAX~BegIns to bear early in July and continues until

frost. Pods are ft to 8 inches long, borne in clusters of S to ft and are of a beautiful golden
yellow color, and the flavor is deliciou j. Can be used either as a string bean or shelled

We offer a select lot of Garden or Ta-
ble Beets, having cut out all doubtful
varieties.

'" ' JL-<- ' -\._

ELECTRIC BEET

ZIMMERMAN'S ELECTRIC — The earliest of
all and one of the very best. We have brought
up our Electric Beet to where it easily leads
all other early beets, being always in the mar-
ket several days ahead of any other. If you
have been planting some variety claimed to be
the earliest, just sow some of our Electric along
beside the other and have your beets earlier
than ever before. It is remarkably tender,
sweet and free from tough fibre. A very rich
dark crimson color making it a perfect early
beet. Pkt 5c, oz 10c, % lb 20c, % lb 35c.

tion, large and of fine quality. A good keeper,

flesh is deep blood red and of good quality.

good size and very regular. One of the best for market and table
use. Pkt 5c, oz 8c, % lb 15c, 1 lb 50c, postpaid.

MARKET GARDENER'S BEET

MARKET GARDENERS* BEET.

This is undoubtedly one of the best ever introduced. As it wiL be noted by engraving, it is very symmetrical with
small tap root and but few fibrous roots. Unusually small tops. Although on some soils the Egyptian can be marketed
a few days before the Market Gardners, still within a week it will be found larger than the Egyptian; while it con-
tinues to grow until late in the fall, attaining a large size, and making a good eating and selling beet for the winter.
One sowing only is necessary to produce early beets for market and main crop for winter use, which is not the case with
any other variety. Color, deep blood red; fine grained and unsurpassed in quality. Summing it all up, we find in it the
best beet for early market, the best beet for winter use. Owing to the small tops permitting them to be grown close
together, and the peculiar shape of the bulb, it is most profitable for the marget gardner and for family gardens. Pkt 5c,

SWISS CHARD or SILVER BEET — Most delicious for greens and comes early. Later they form wax-like stems which
are very delicious, if cooked like beets or asparagus. Pkt 5c, oz 10c, % lb 20c, % lb 35c, 1 lb 60c, postpaid.

This is an extra early, solid, round-headed cabbage. For size, earliness,
reliability in heading, it has no equal. It is the finest large summer cabbage
on the market, being at least one-third larger than any other early summer
variety. The heads are solid and so compact that nearly one thousand more
can be grown per acre than any other cabbage. On account of its rapid
growth, it is very tender and the flavor is unsurpassed. Pkt 5c. ; oz 20c. ; %

SUREHEAD.

All head and always sure to head. This is a
large main crop variety of the Flat Butch type,
It is sure to form large round heads, extra hard,
firm, of superior quality and fine texture. It is
an excellent variety for Southern and South-
western growers, on account of its sure-head-
ing qualities, as many varieties fail to head in
those sections. You will not be disappointed
in this sureheading cabbage. It is also one of
the largest cabbages grown, averaging about 25
pounds, but specimens have been grown to
weigh over 50 pounds. It is a good keeper, ex-
cellent shipper ; in fact it is hard to surpass this
grand cabbage. Pkt 5e. ; oz 20c. ; % lb 60c. ; % lb

secured by me direct from the original introducers
of St. Louis and is the TRUE ST. LOUIS MARKET

My melon 8c«d it grown under special contracts
and aeed taken from select melons only.

HARRIS' EARLIEST.

It is so superior to other early
sorts that I no longer catalogue
other iiixtra Early varieties. This
melon will bring greater profits
to the Market Gardener, because
its extreme earliness and size en-
ables you to be first in the. market
and get the top prices. The pri-
vate gardener will have the first
melons on his table from his own
garden. Mr. Harris of Tennessee,
originator of the melon, best de-
scribes it. He says: "The melons
are oval to oblong, color dark
green with beautiful mottled gray-
ish stripes; flesh scarlet, sweet
and melting; weight 20 to 30. lbs.,
good shipper, keeps well, bears all
summer and Sure to ripen ahead
of any other variety. It has been
tested by Experiments at Knox-
ville, Tenn., and also the U. S.
Government Farms and the offi-
cers at both places pronounce it
'the Earliest of All and of Good
Quality,' " Some inferior seed of
this variety is being offered at a
''cheap" price. The seed I offer
is true to name, is grown espec-
ially for me by Mr. Harris, the
originator, and will produce mel-
ons earlier, larger and of superior
quality than the ordinary. It
pays to plant the best. Pkt. 5c;

and claims to be even more regular in size. The
melons are blunt at stem and blossom end and gener-
ally free from the appearance of any neck. Rind is
smooth dark green. Flesh rich crimson, extending
less than half an inch of the rind. These melons are
so brittle and tender they cannot be shipped far by
freight. Thrust a knife into one of these luscious
melons it soiits open. It is a home melon, for the
home garden and local market. My seed of this va-
riety was grown under special contract and cannot be

HALBERT'S HONEY.

NEW ICEBERG.

• A new melon that has come into grat favor as a main
crop and shipping sort. It is similar in form and size to
the old Kolb's Gem, well and favorably known as a shipping
variety. The melons grow uniformly large, and are of thick,
oval shape, as shown in the illustration. The skin is a rich,
dark green, almost black, faintly striped with narrow bands
of lighter green. The under portion where the melon lies
upon the ground, is of a light yellow color, quite distinct.
The rind is very strong and tough so that the melons can
safely be shipped long distances without the least damage
in transit. The meat is fine, red color; the heart is big
and solid. It is an unusually prductive variety. Pkt. 5c;

SOUTHERN PRIDE.

The flesh is bright red and of a delicious sweetness, and
While the rind is very thin it is also tough, which makes it
desirable as a shipper, which can not be said of most extra
sweet melons. The vine is a v^ry strong grower and bears
its large silvery gray melons in great abundance. Melons
average 25 inches in length and weigh on an average 30 to
40 lbs. each and ripen almost to the rind. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c;

Got The Peas, and NEW CROP at that. Look out for Old Peas this year. Beware of the ''cheap." I have

TWO WEEKS EARLY.

THE EARLIEST PEA. A SURE CROPPER.

This is not only the Earliest Pea in cultivation, but
is unequalled for yield and regularity of growth. They
hear a heavy crop of well-filled pods from 8 to 8J6
inches in length, nearly all of which can be gathered
at one or two pickings. The vines grow 18 inches high
and are loaded with these early delicious peas. Their
flavor is the best and they are by far the earliest and
finest early pea on the market. This pea has more
than fulfilled all the claims I have made for it. It
will make a crop where others fail and will be the first
in the market. Wherever planted, they have never
failed to bear abundantly and are THE FIRST. They
are not an everbearing pea, but produce a large crop,
mature uniformly and the space can then be used for

ZIMMERMAN'S 80-DAY.

ZIMMERMAN'S

80-DAY CORN.

The Largest Extra Early Corn
Ever Offered.

As early as Pride of the North, but has much larger ears and
will yield with Reid's Yellow Dent, and other later varieties. I
nrst offered it last year as "the earliest and most satisfactory-
extra early corn ever introduced/' and I have no cause to change or
modify that statement. I sold this corn last year in the South,
the extreme Northern states and hundreds of bushels right here
at home, and I haven't received a single complaint, nor report of a
failure — NOT ONE. I planted this corn myself and harvested
fully matured corn in less than 85 days. The stalks are medium
height, stout and stocky. The extreme earliness, size of ears, fine
golden color and yield easily place my 8o-Day corn far ahead of
any other early corn. If you want early feed, you will find this
corn most valuable. In sections where the season is short, it is
very profitable. Planted as late as July 12, it made matured corn
before early October frost. Ears run* 8 to 10 inches in length;
kernels are medium size, a rich yellow color and fill the cob to
the very tip. It is not a 'big corn, but is perfectly reliable, and
if you want something to come quick and at the same time produce
a good crop, my 8o-Day is the corn. Packet, 5 cents; pint, 15 cents;
quart, 25 cents, postpaid. By express or freight, selected, tipped
and graded, y 2 peck, 40 cents; peck, 70 cents; y 2 bushel, $1.15;
bushel, $2.25; 2 bushels, $4.25; 4 or more bushels at $2.00 per bushel.

Zimmerman's Perfected GOLDEN BEAUTY.

My strain of Perfected Golden Beauty is unsurpassed by
any yellow corn. It produces larger and heavier ears and is
but a* few days later than the old Early strain. If you want to
grow BIG corn; ears that run from 10 to 14 inches in length
and filled to the very tip with big, solid grains, my Perfected
Golden Beauty is just what you want. The ears are perfect
fonn and the grains are a rich yellow. It is a fine feeder, and
its rich color makes it very desirable for meal. A load of this
corn is always attractive and brings top price on the market.
The seed I offer is pure bred, grown especially for seed and
carefully selected. Packet, 5 cents*; pint, 15 cents; quart, 25
cents, postpaid. By express or freight, selected, tipped and
graded, peck, 60 cents; % bushel, $1.05; bushel, $2.00; 2 bushels,
$3.75; 4 or more bushels at $1.80 per bushel.

Reid's Yellow Dent.

A very popular early corn. Ears 8 to 11 inches and filled to
the tip with deep, compact grains of clear golden yellow. Not
a large grain, but deep and is a fine producer. I have an ex-
cellent stock of this corn and at the right price. Packet, 5
cents; pint, 15 cents; quart, 25 cents, postpaid. By express
or freight, selected, tipped and graded, y 2 peck, 35 cents; peck,
60 cents; % bushel, $1.05; bushel, $2.00; 2 bushels, $3.75; 4 or
more bushels at $1.80 per bushel.

Improved Learning;.

This is one of the, earliest yellow dent corns in cultivation,
ripening in 90 to 100 days from planting, surpassing the yellow
Canada and flint varieties in earliness, productiveness and qual-
ity. The ears are large and handsome, with deep, large grains;
orange yellow color and red cob. Stalks medium size, tapering
gradually, producing two good ears each which husk and shell

very easily. Packet, 5 cents; pint, 15 cents; quart, 25 cents, PERFECTED GOLDEN BEAUTY,

postpaid. By express or freight, selected, tipped and graded, %
peck, 35 cents; peck, 60 cents; y 2 bushel, $1.05; bushel, $2.00;

DWARF ESSEX RAPE.

Most Popular and Productive off
Forage Plants.

Grows on all kinds of soil ; requires no cultivation after sowing.
While the greatest claims for Rape are made as a forage for sheep
and hogs, it is equally as good as a pasture for all kinds of stock. A
good crop will yield 15 to 20 tons of green fodder per acre and will
pasture 30 head of sheep for over two months, getting them in fine
■hape for market. All animals seem to prefer it to any other pasture
during the entire summer and until late fall. Can be sown early to
provide early pasture for sheep and hogs, but is usually sown in May
or June for summer and fall pasture. When sown broadcast, use 7 lbs
per acre. If in drills, 4 lbs per acre. Price of select well cleaned

Tested ALFALFA Seed.

Alfalfa is particularly adapted to our Western soil and climate, but is also winning popularity in other sections. In dry hot
sultry weather, when other grasses are parched and withered, Alfalfa is fresh and green. The soil is improved by it. Sow not
later than Sept. in Kansas and like climates, but the best time is as early in the spring as the weather will permit, using 18 to 25
lbs per acre. There are many grades of Alfalfa seed ; some are cheap and worthless. We are located in the Alfalfa country and
are in a position to offer the best seed the market affords and at a low price. We ofier the following grades :

PURB GOLD- We believe this to be the very best quality of Alfalfa possible to secure. Selected with the greatest care,

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS.

Shipped Direct to the Zimmerman Seed Co. from

Fayette Co., Ky.

, Pure, genuine Kentucky Blue Grass stands without a rival for beauty and usefulness. As a lawn grass, nothing can equal it.
As a permanent pasture, after once started it is easily the peer of any other grass. Our experience has been that stock of all kinds
will keep in perfect condition when pastured on this famous grass. The most beautiful sight our eyes beheld, while traveling in
Kentucky, was the Blue Grass Region, with its large fields of waving Blue Grass For some years, we have been receiving letters
from throughout the Great Southwest, asking for pure Ky. Blue Grass. It is claimed that the Blue Grass seed generally sold is
not pure and some has lost at least a portion of its vitality. How true this may be we leave for you to say WE decided to secure,
if possible, a shipment of GENUINE BLUE GRASS Fayette County is situated in ihe center and heart of the Blue Grass Region
of Ky. We guarantee the stock we offer to have been raised especially for seed and shipped direct to us. %

"FLOWER OF FAIRFIELD", THE EVERBLOOMING CRIMSON RAMBLER,
^©r many years past it has been the endeavor of every rose grower to produce a climbing variety
tfca£ iflrould be of perpetual flowering habit. The many beautiful varieties of Rambler Roses were valu-
able acquisitions, but none of them could be caljed perpetual or everblooming, they producing only one

crop of flowers during the reason. The Flower of
Fairfield, however, is correctly termed a perpetual
blooming variety. It commences flowering in the
spring or early summer, and produces repeated crops
of bloom until late in the autumn. It is a sport from
the famous Crimson Rambler; it is of the same color,
if not a shade more brilliant, and has better resist-
ing power to the sun. Flower of Fairfield blooms
very profusely on young wood the first year after
planting. It is very effective for covering walls,
trellises or arches, and is equally attractive for table
decoration or other use as cut flowers. It has been
taken up very enthusiastically by the florists in
both Europe and this country, and we anticipate a
demand that will far exceed the available supply this
season. Each, 16 cents; 2 for 30 cents, postpaid.

bedding, for it will bloom all summer. Baeh, 29

bright, glowing crimson. It has heen very largely

The Cyclone Seed Sower CvemL

It differs materially and very advantageously from all other Sowers in
having a slope feed-board with an oblong hopper which terminates in a
metal edge on which oscillates a steel feed-plate which does not allow the
seed to b.ecome clogged, but makes a positive force feed and insures a uniform
flow and even distribution of seed.

The Machine is supplied with a recently patented interlock, double flange,
non-solder tin distributing wheel and an automatic feed adjustment so that
the seed can be let on or shut off instantly.

The right side of the Sower is concave in shape and rests nicely against
the side of body just above the hip.

The crank-shaft being ABOVE THE DISTRIBUTING WHEEL brings both
hands to nearly a level and gives the operator the easiest position possible
with the left hand resting naturally in place to open or close feed instantly.
The frame parts are made from well seasoned yellow poplar and the curved
parts from tough sycamore. The machine is neatly finished, nicely painted,
has a large, heavy duck hopper, and is specially recommended when *a sower
is wanted for sowing grain and any other variety of seeds. (Pull operating
directions with each machine.) Price, $1.50.
