POULTRY SUPPLIES
eM,
To Our Friends--Our Customers: |
We know that two of the greatest factors in creating pleasant relations between the buyer
and dealer are, first, Quality; second, service rendered. If the seeds or poultry supplies shipped
you on your order are not of the right Quality, or your order is not carefully and promptly at-
tended to, you naturally become dissatisfied. Conditions existing in this, and foreign countries,
where seeds are grown, have for the past two or three years been such that seeds of Quality
are scarce, and prices in many cases necessarily high, but we are fortunate in being connected
with some of the largest and best growers in the world and even though we are compelled to
advance prices in some cases, we are in position to supply Quality and we feel sure that when
you order “Seeds that Succeed,” you will have no reason to regret the price. We assure you
that our prices are always as reasonable as possible—Quality considered.
As to our facilities for handling your orders promptly, giving to each one careful attention,
we beg to say that we have a competent force who can be depended upon to fill your orders
correctly, and forwarding in the shortest possible time. Ivery precaution will be taken with or-
ders entrusted to us, to supply “Seeds that Succeed” and Poultry Suppiies that give satisfactory
results.
We will make every effort to create and maintain that pleasant relation that should exist
between the buyer and dealer, and you can help us by advising us promptly should an error oc-
cur. It is our intention to adjust all differences in a manner that will be satisfactory to all,
where it is possible to do so.
With our best wishes for your success the coming season, and assuring you of our appre-
ciation for your past favors, we beg to remain,
Very truly yours,
~ Crenshaw Brothers Seed Co.
Tampa, Florida.

75 to 90 days from planting.
Henderson
Bush Lima.
l
Culture.—Piant from end of December, and for
succession, every two weeks until May. Beans
planted in this latitude during June and July will
not produce much. August and September are good
months in which to plant again. They are ready
for the table in from thirty to fifty days after
planting. Beans do not require heavy manuring;
in fact, if the soil is fairly good, it is better to
use a good fertilizer. The fertilizer should be well
mixed in the furrow with thie soil before the beans
are planted. For field culture, plant in rows 2%
feet apart and aboul 8 inches between the beans,
covering the seed to a depth of about 3 inches. If
to be cultivated by hand in small gardens, the
rows may be 18 inches apart. Up to the time of
blooming cultivate often, but never while the
vines are wet, as the pods and leaves would be-
come discolored. One quart to 100 feet in drill—
about one bushel of seed to the acre in drills.
Extra-Early Round-FPod Red Valentine. Thisis
probably one of the oldest of all the green-podded

POLE, or RUNNING BEANS
Cne quart to 150 hills, 10 to 12 quarts to the acre in drills. Matures
for table use from 48 to 85 days from germination.
Culture—These are more tender, and require rather more care in
culture than the Bush Beans, and should be sown two weeks later.
They succeed best in sandy loam, which should be liberally enriched with
short manure in the hills, which are formed according to the variety,
from 3 to 4 feet apart. From five to six seeds are planted in each
hill, about 2 inches deep. As the matured bean is used mostly, the
season is too short for succession crops in the North, though it is ad-
vantageous to plant succession crops in the Southern States, especially
in Florida, where the season of growth is almost the entire year. Rough
eedar or similar poles about 7 or 8 feet high should be used for Beans
to climb on. They should be set in the ground at least 18 inches, so as
to prevent being blown over.
Kentucky Wonder. The most popular of all Pole Beans, especially
in this section. Vines are vigorous in growth, the pods are immense,
often attaining a length of 9 or 10 inches and borne in large clusters.
Bright green, very solid, meaty, tender and stringless, when young; as-
suming a saddleback shape with age, being broader in width than depth
and becoming somewhat irregular and spongy as the beans ripen. Very
early. @t. 35 cts|, pk. $1-75) bus. $6250.
Southern Prolific. Strictly a southern Bean. Stands the southern
heat. Continues to bear until frost. Pods 7 inches long and flat; seeds
dark yellow. Qt. 25 cts., pk. $1.75, bus. $6.50.
Old Homestead. This we regard as far ahead of any other green-
pod Pole Bean; is ten days earlier, enormously productive and entirely
Strineless: Qt) 35 cts:, pl: $1.75, bus. $6.50.
Lazy Wife. So named on account of the large number of pods it
affords, making it easy to obtain a supply. One of the best varieties
for snaps of the late green-podded Pole Beans. The pods grow in large
clusters, are 5 to 7 inches long, broad, thick, fleshy, and entirely string-
Jess. They have a rich, buttery flavor. The dry Beans, which are
white, are fine for winter use. Qt. 35 cts., pk. $1.75; bus. $6.50.
White Creaseback. A fine, early, green-podded Pole Bean of rapid
growth and very productive. The pods grow in clusters and are from
5 to 6 inches in length, perfectly round and deeply creased. They are
very fleshy, stringless. and of the best quality. The Beans are white
and are excellent shelled for winter use. Qt. 35 cts., pk. $1.75, bus.

oz. 10 cts., %1b. 30 cts., lb. $1.00.
CAULIFLOWER
Culture.—Sow from July to October in the beds,
not too rich; in fact, it is much better to make
seed-bed of the same earth to which plants are to
be moved. Do not allow plants to attain more than
two leaves before removing to a box, setting plants
about 1 inch apart each way. While there they
must be well watered. When they are large enough
to transplant to field, be careful to water plants as
they are set; then cultivate same as cabbage.
Cauliflower requires much more cultivation and
closer attention. We shall be pleased to furnish
information regarding this crop at any time. Bul-
letin mailed upon request.
Early Snowball. Without doubt the best varie-
ty for market-gardeners. It is adapted for either
forcing or field-growing. It will, when properly
treated, make large, solid heads. Our strain of
this is beyond doubt one of the finest on the mar-
ket. Pkt. 255 GisaO Zoo 0 Ds toOs00:
Early Favorite. While not quite so early as
the Snowball, it is an exceedingly hardy and easi-
ly grown sort, and by far the best for inexperi-
enced growers, as it will head under conditions
in which many sorts will fail. The plants are
large and form solid, crisp heads, very tender and
of fine quality. It is also a good keeper. Pkt. 15

BEETS
Culture.—The vround for
Beets should be rich and
well spaded or plowed. In
this latitude Beets are
sown in January to May,
and from August 1 to De-
cember Some market-
gardeners sow them every
month inthe year. Seeds
should be soaked twelve
hours before planting, as
this softens the bur and
allows the seed germ to
prove itself much quicker.
For field culture, sow in
drills 2to 2% feet apart,
and cover about 1 inch.
Thin out to 4 inches apart.
For a small garden the
drills need not be more
than 15inches apart Two
ounces will sow 50 feet of
row, 6 to 8 pounds one
acre. Mature for table
use 40 to 60 days from
germination.
Mangel Wurzel, or Stock Feeding Beet, 75c. lb.
Lentz’ Extra-Early Turnip Beet. This variety

deners, both for shipment and near-by markets,
many of them preferring it to Eclipse. It is cer-
tainly a splendid variety. Nearly as early as the
Egyptian, but larger and of extra-fine quality.
Color a dark blood-red, tender and sweet at all
stages of growth. Has small top and with favora-
ble seasons can be used in six weeks from sowing.

Crenshaw’s Florida Drumhead Cabbage.
CABBAGE
For cutting matures from 65 to 120 days accord-
ing to variety.
_Culture.—Have soil in your bed in the best pos-
sible condition. Do not make it too rich or your
plants will grow quickly and consequently be
weak. Such plants will not stand the shock of
transplanting. Soil that has been manured the
previous year is to be preferred. Seed should be
drilled 6 inches apart, and not too thick; cover
lightly and press the soil down firmly around seed.
Keep plants watered and free from grass or
weeds. Plant during February and March; again
in July and August. For spring and summer
crop, sow from August 15 to November 1.. Six
ounces of seed will supply enough plants to set
one acre. Cabbage needs constant cultivation to
succeed best and we advise rows 2% feet apart
with plants 18 inches apart in the row. The va-
rieties of Cabbage we list are those we know will
give the greatest satisfaction to southern growers,
and it will be our constant care that all orders
Shall be filled with exactly the varieties desired.
Our Cabbage seed is grown and selected by one of the best-known growers on Long Island, and we
are therefore confident that it will prove satisfactory.

riving in good condition and color. Pkt. 10 cts.,

CELERY
Culture.—Celery requires a moist and fertile
soil. If your soil is not fertile you must make it
so by heavy applications of well-rotted manure
or commercial fertiilzer. If commercial fertilizer
is used it must be of the highest grade. In Flori-
da and on the Gulf Coast sow seed for general
crop during August and September. Such seed
must not be covered more than 4 of an inch, and
bed must be well shaded. As plants come up and
get from 4 to 6 inches high they should be
sheared (tops cut off) two or three times to make
stocky plants. They can be transplanted when 6
inches high into trenches, and as the plants grow
keep drawing earth up around them, leaving but
a small bunch of leaves exposed, to blanch the
stalkes for market.
French Golden Self-Blanching. After trying
various kinds of Celery in Florida for market-
gardeners and truckers, we have found that there
is only one variety that they can depend on for
sure crop to sell for fancy prices; it is the Golden
Seif-Blanching. There is no other variety equal
to it. We have our stock especially grown for us
by the most reliable growers in France, so that we
are confident our stock of Golden Self-Blanching
is pure and reliable. Pkt. 10 cts. Write for

COLLARDS
One of the most popular and satisfactory win-
ter vegetables. Is similar in growth to cabbage,
but does not make solid heads. Is hardier and
easier to grow than cabbage, and withstands in-
sect attacks much better. While Collards are
somelimes sown and used during the spring and
Summer, their principal use is as a late winter
vegetable.
Culture.—One ounce will produce about 2,000
plants, or 150 feet of row. Sow in spring, or sum-
mer as directed for cabbage, either in beds, to
transplant when large enough, or in rows where
intended to stand. They are rapid growers.

gravelly muck lands along the borders of a small, rapid stream. ‘The

Improved Extra-Early White Spine.
Culture.—For early use, plant as soon as the ground is warm; for pickles, a month later. Form
hills 6 feet apart by digging holes 18 inches square and 1 foot deep, and filling them nearly
level with the surface with well-rotted manure, or, better still, with very rich earth. Mix this
with the soil beneath, then draw back the top soil, forming a broad, flat hill, 4 to 6 inches
above the surface. In this plant 15 or 20 seeds, covering them 1 inch deep. When the plants com-
mence to run, thin to three in a hill. Remove allthe fruit before it commences to ripen in order to
keep the plants in bearing.

EGG PLANT
Culture.—Hggplant seed germinates slowly and should be
started in a strong heat. The soil should be one part leaf-mold and
one part sandy loam. It is important to secure a rapid and continu-
ous growth. Set 30 inches apart, pinch off the larger leaves when
transplanting. One ounce for 1000 plants; requires about 4 ounces
to plant an acre. Matures in about 120 days from sowing.
Florida High-Bush. Rich purple color; oblong in shape more pro-
ductive than the New York Purple. Will stand more heat than any
other variety. Bushes stand high up, holding the fruit well off the
ground, thereby preserving the fruit better than other sorts during
rainy weather; also diminishing the number of blighted fruit to a
great extent. Pkt. 5 ects., oz. 30 cts., lb. $3.50.
Black Beauty. The fruit of this Eggplant is ready for market
fully ten days earlier than other varieties. The skin is a rich, pur-
purplish black, making a very attractive fruit. Truckers will not
make a mistake by planting Black Beauty as a main crop. Our stock
has been grown especially for the critical market-gardeners of Flor-
ida. Pkt; 10 cts., oz. 35 iets., “4lb. $l) Yllbs $2.00; Ib. $3.75"
Improved Large Purple Thornless. [For years this variety has
been the standard for Southern market-gardenrers and shippers. Our
seed is pure and the plants thornless. Ina properly cultivated crop,
streaked or off-colored fruit is almost unknown. Plants are large,
strong and vigorous, each plant producing from 5 to 8 large fruits
of dark rich, purple color. The earliest of all large-fruited varieties
and always gives satisfaction with proper cultivation, and the vigor
and strength of this variety makes it less subject to the effect of
‘blight’ and “‘dieback,’’ which are so disastrous to this crop in so
many sections. A trial will make you appreciative of the superiori-
ty of this variety over others, for it has many points of excellence
not possessed by the varieties of Hggplant commonly grown. Pkt. 5 Florida High Bush

Early White Vienna Kohlrabi.
ENDIVE
Culture.—Seed may be sown any time during
the year. When plants are well started thin out
to 10 inches apart to the row, or they may be
transplanted to fresh rows. When plants have
reached a good size, gather the leaves closely to-
gether and tie loosely in an upright bunch. This
bleaches the inner leaves in about ten days and
adds to the crispness as a salad, as it renders the
flavor mild and delicate. One ounce will sow 100
feet of row; three pounds will plant 1 acre of
land in rows 38 feet apart.

HERBS
Culture.—The seeds should be sown in spring,
in Shallow drills, 12 inches apart, and the young
plants thinned out or transplanted to about 4
inches. They should be harvested on a dry day,
just before the blossoms develop, dried quickly
and bottled, or closely packed in dry

other herb for flavoring and dressing. Sow early
in the spring on very rich ground. Cultivate often
and thin the plants to 16 inches apart. Cut the
leaves and tender shoots just as the plants are
coming into flower, and dry quickly in the shade.
The plants will survive the winter and may be
divided. If this is done, they will give a second
crop superior in quality to the first. It requires

can be grown at almost any

ing the forcing sorts that
will form heads under glass.

start is to plant seeds in a
bed of rich earth and when
plants grow select the
strongest and most healthy
for transplanting into rows
2 feet apart and about 6

soil should be rich and its
erowth pushed in order -to
produce crisp, tender heads.
Tt should not be sown thick-
ly in a bed and allowed to
grow up spindling and
tough, to go to seed early
and finally die out. One
ounce will produce about
2,000 plants.

variety has gained a great reputation in the

Crenshaw’s Mammoth Perfection Muskmelon. In
this melon we are convinced that we have indeed a
perfect Muskmelon. In shape it is nearly round, as
thick at the bottom end as at the side. Its coloris
dark green until it commences to ripen; it then
turns yellow. At first sight of turning it is time
to pick. Growers who expect to ship, or even mar-
ket them at home, should not wait until it is fully
ripe. If picked two or three days ahead, it will
then reach the consumer at the right time. It is
a handsome melon, slightly netted, firm flesh and
with small seed cavity. It is a quick grower and
a heavy yielder. Fruit will average 8 to 15 Ibs.,

BERMUDA ONIONS.
ONION
CULTURE.—The Onion, unlike most vegetables, succeeds well when cultivated on the same
ground for successive years. Sow thinly in drills about %4 inch deep and 1 foot apart; cover with
fine soil and press down with the back of a spade or a light roller. When the young plants are strong
enough, thin gradually so that they stand 3 or 4 inches apart. Keep the surface of the ground
open and free from weeds by frequent hoeing, taking care not to stir the soil too deeply or to
collect it about the growing bulbs.
One ounce will plant 100 feet of drill, 5 or 6 poundsin drills foranacre. For sets from 50 to 60 pounds
should be sown to the acre, according to the richness of the soil. Mature about 180 days
from sowing.

BERMUDA ONIONS
GENUINE TENERIFFE-GROWN.
These are the Onions which southern growers are shipping every spring in enormous quantities
to northern markets. They are tender and of the finest Onion flavor. Our genuine Teneriffe-grown
seeds are zrown especially for us and imported direct and we know there is no better stock to
be had. May be sown either in the fall or early spring. Both White and Red varieties.
White Bermuda. This is the standard variety for market crops for shipping. While it is known
as “White Bermuda,” it is really a light straw-color or pale yellow. We make this explanation, as
muny who grow it for the first time expect to find a pure white Onion. Less than six months are
required from the time of sowing the seed to the full maturity and shipment cf the crop. Write for
price.
Red Bermuda. Identical with White Bermuda, except the color is a pale, waxy red, and it
is just the right variety in all sections where a redOnion is preferred. Write for price.
Crystal Way. This is the Onion that is so highly prized because of its earliness, its beautiful
appearance and ready market. Our seed is genuine, imported from Teneriffe. ‘here is none better in
the world. Write for price.
Louisiana Creole. The most reliable variety grown in the South. It is good size and of mild
flavor, colored red. It is by far the best Shipping Onion grown in the Southern States; the keeping
qualities of this Onion are unsurpassed and yield is enormous. Our seed stock for years has
been grown by the most reliable and best posted Onion growers in the South. Northern
seed will not produce large bulbs. Write for price.
White Creole. We do not claim this to be an improvement on the Louisiana Creole, excepting,
color. It is pure white which makes its appearance much more desirable for table use. Write for
price.
Prizetaker. The largest of all yellow Onions. Resembles the large Spanish varieties. Flesh
sweet, tender and mild. This is, no doubt, the handsomest yellow Onion on the market. Grows
to weigh one pound or more from the seed. Shape is nearly a globe. It is a bright straw color,
has a small neck and matures early. It cannot be surpassed for home or market. Pit NOectiss OZ

ONION SETS
CIiITLTURE.—Plant the sets four inches apart in rows about % inch deep and one foot between
the rows, but do not cover the sets entirely. All varieties can be set out in the fall, as well as in

generally practised. Owing to variation in weight of sets at different season we shall in the futtire
auote prices by weight instead of measure.

Note.—We have our seed stock grown especially for us in Aroostook county Maine. The most
successful growers in the state of Florida use Maine-grown seed Potatoes. You will find listed
below the varieties we carry in stock. Prices will be quoted on application when season opens.
CULTURE.—The Potatoe, like all robust-growing vegetables, can be grown with varying
success on soils of all kinds and in all conditions of fertility, but the soil best suited to it is a
sandy loam. In all heavy soils it is more subject to disease, and the flavor also is much inferior.
Manure is applied either in rows or hills, or broadcast over the ground and plowed in—the
latter, in most cases, being preferable. If the soil is good, but little manure is required. In
highly enriched soils the plants are more liable to disease than when grown in soil that is naturally
good. The best fertilizers are those of a dry or absorbant nature, as plaster, lime, Superphosphate
of lime and bone dust. For wet soils, these are particularly beneficial, as they not only promote
growth, but prevent disease. We have our seed stock grown especially for us. ‘There is no better
seed to be obtained. You can find listed below the varieties we carry in stock. Prices will be quoted

TOMATOES
Culture—Sow in hotbed
in early spring, or the seed
may be sown in shallow
boxes and transplanted i
the open ground when ell
danger of frost is past, set-
ting the plants 3 or 4 feet
apart each way. Some sup-
port should be provided for
the vines to keep the fruit
from the ground. Fruit
may be had several weeks
earlier by sowing seed quite
early and transplanting to
small pots. When these are
filled with roots, shift to a
larger, and transplant to
open ground when the wea-
ther is warm and _ £@“set-
tled, shading from the sun
for a day or two. As the
roots are not disturbed by
taking plants from the pots,
the plants suffer no check,
but grow right on.

FIELD CORN
The varieties of Field Corn listed below are especially selected for the soil and climate of Florida.
This fact is not taken into consideration as much asit should be. Often seed is ordered from a dealer
whose stock is raised perhaps hundreds of miles away, and in Surroundings of soil and climate that are
not conducive to producing seed of the best quality for our section of the country. In buying from us,
you have the satisfaction of knowing that you are procuring seed raised for the express purpose of be-
ing planted in Florida soil, and thus you obviate the risk of securing unacclimated seed.
At this time we cannot name price on Corn.
Improved Golden Dent. It is one of the best
and most reliable cropping yellow Corns in culti-
vation. It makes a large-sized ear, small cob;
deep grains, which are of a bright, attractive,
golden yellow color. Produces two to three ears
to the stalk, and for a first-class, large-yielding
yellow Corn particularly adapted to the South, it
is strongly recommended.
White Dent. One of the best all-round white
sorts for rich land, producing largest crops of
finest quality Corn. The ears average about 10
inches in length, of uniform size and great depth
of grain; 18 to 24 rows on cobs, well filled. The
grains are pure white, solid, very deep, producing
the finest milling white Corn. The yield of this
superior Corn is very large. We unhesitatingly
recommend it.
Maryland White 90-Day. This Corn produces a
very large ear, and often two ears to the stalk, the
ears running from 10 to 12 inches in length and
from 14 to 16 rows to the ear. The grain is very
large and deep. It makes a large growth of fodder
and good-sized stalk. It is rather late in matur-
ing, preserving in good shape after earlier Corn is
dried up, and withstands drought better than any
other Corn with which we have had experience,
this characteristic being particularly noticeable
by those who have grown it.
Hickory King. A very popular and productive
white Corn, especially for high land, and it is in
great favor with those who have planted it. It
produces on good soil three or four average-sized
ears to the stalk. Grains large, broad, and white,
making fine meal. The cob is small.
Blount’s Prolific. Produces from three to six
ears. It is a large-yielding white variety of flinty
nature, making excellent meal. For late planting
Write for prices.
this Corn has no superior. It is of quick growth,
matures up well, and yields splendidly. Blount’s
Prolific also makes a first-class ensilage Corn.
Florida Grown White Flint. This variety gives
better results than any other white Corn grown in
this State. Besides being very early it is prolific.
Grains are white and hard and it is seldom eaten
by weevils. Jt makes the best meal; is valuable
also for stock feed on account of its strength.
Cuban Yellow Flint. It is said that this Corn
will make under any circumstances. It never gets
too hot or too wet, and dry weather will not hurt
it. It has smail ears and small grain and is the
hardiest of all known flint Corn. Almost impossi-
ble for a weevil to damage it. We import our seed
direct from Cuba, and of the best stock that can
possibly be secured, and recommend it highly to
the farmers of Florida on account of its resisting
drought so well.
Cocke’s Prolific Corn. This isa valuable variety
of white Corn. On land of good fertility and espe-
cially on low river grounds, it may be relied upon
to produce from two to four ears to the stalk and
we have seen growing as high as eleven good ears
to the stalk. This prolificacy makes it a heavy-
yielding Corn. The ears are of good average size,
the grain being of a white, flinty nature, making
an excellent meal or hominy Corn. Our stock of
this Corn has been steadily improved by selection,
and we believe that we have the best and most
productive stock of this variety.
Mexican June. A hardy, drought-resisting.
Ears 7 to 10 inches, having 14 to 18 rows evenly
lined on white cob; grain of good size. The great
value of this Corn lies in its ability to make un-
der conditions entirely too dry for other sorts.
CANADA FIELD PEAS
Canada Field Peas sown in November or December, and covered deeply, come up early in the spring
and grow off rapidly as soon as the weather opens.
They usually make a splendid yield, which can be
fed green or cured for hay; also makes a good soil-improver when turned under like cowpeas or gehts
their greatest value is as forage crop. Canada Field Peas are best sown_with oats at the rate of one
bushel of peas to one bushel of winter or rust-proof-oats to the acre.—
They should be covered deeply with a
one and a half bushels to the acre.

BERMUDA GRASS
Often plunted for lawns. No grass

kept short. It is also very valuable as a pasture
and hay grass; but we would not advise planting
on land that yGu expect to cultivate in other
crops, as it is almost impossible to eradicate it
after having once obtained a good hold. We can
also supply Bermuda roots if desired, but the
sowing of seed is much Simpler, and an easier
plan; 6 pounds will Sow an acre. Should be
planted in spring, but can be sown later. Under

HAIRY OF WINTER VETCH
Hairy, or Winter Vetches are increasing in pop-
ularity wherever they are grown, and are prov-
ing to be one of the most valuable crops for fall
planting. The forage is greatly relished by horses
and all kinds of cattle, and is very nutritious,
and makes fine milk-producing food.
Should be sown from August to December,
broadcast ,at the rate of 30 to 40 lbs. to the acre,
with about 3 pecks of winter oats. This helps to
hold the Vetch off the ground, thus enabling it to
make better growth, and much easier to harvest

SPECKLED VELVET BEANS
The popularity of this Bean has increased to
such an enormous extent that it is now being gen-
erally grown throughout the entire South. It
makes a larger growth than any other known
forage plant in the same length of time, far sur-
passing the cow pea in yield. The possibilities as
a land-improver, and for producing a good crop
of forage, seem almust unlimited. It has been
thoroughly tested in all of the Southern States.
and experienced agriculturalists pronounce it of
the greatest value. The vines and roots are very
rich in nitrogen, making it a most valuable soil-
improving crop. It is often difficult to gather or
turn under, owing to its rank growth. It is ad-
visable, when sown thick, to allow stubbles to re-
main above the ground until frost kills them. It
will thus make a heavy coating of vegetable mat-
ter which, when turned under, will benefit the
soil almost equal to a heavy application of stable
manure. We are large growers of Velvet Beans
and can be depended upon at almost any time of
the year to supply your wants. Prices fluctuate.
however, and if wanted in large quantities, it
would be best to write for prices. They may be
sown in May or June at the rate of 1% pecks to
the acre in drills 5 feet apart. Write for price.
LYON BEAN (Velvet Bean)
More vigorous growth, rapid and vine stronger
than other velvet beans. Pods are a great deal
longer, more beans to the pod, and larger, softer
and easier eaten by cattle. Write for prices.
RICE (Upland)
Very popular in this State and a number of
small areas are grown for home use as an aux-
iliary crop. Should be cuitivated on every farm
in our Southern country. Several years’ experi-
ence has demonstrated the fact that Rice ean be
as successfully grown on high land as elsewhere.
Plant as early in April as you can, just so the
seeds get a little dirt over them. Drop 15 or 20
seeds in each hill and leave all that come up.
Cultivate for moisture and to keep down the
grass and weeds until Rice begins to head. It
usually ripens last of August or early in Septem-
ber. The color tells when it is ripe. Pk. 75 CLS,

DWARF ESSEX RAPE
For fall sowing should be planted in July, Au-
gust or September. It makes a large-yielding,
nutritious, Succulent green feed or pasturage all
through the fall, winter and early spring. The fat-
tening properties of Rape are said to be very
much better than those of clover, and it makes a
first-class crop for grazing during the fall and
winter. Rape can be successfully sown both in
the fall and spring. larly fall seeding, how-
ever, gives the best resulls. Rape is best sown in
drills at the rate of 3 tu 5 pounds per acre; or it

its yield as grain, which makes most nutritious
feed for stock and pouitry. It is non-saccharine
and therefore more often used in connection with
cowpeas and other forage crops. It has for years
been grown in connection with cowpeas at the

Directions for Using.—Take one pound of Al-
faifa Meal, steep in water (hot water preferred)
and let it stand for one-half hour. Just before
feeding, dash a little cold water over the meal;
this brings out the fresh, green color; add a hand-
ful of cracked corn, corn meal, bran or middlings
and mix them thoroughly. Have it moist, but not
sloppy. This is sufficient for ten hens one meal.
Cost about 3 cents. Feed on a board or platter,
or in a V-shaped trough, the latter preferred.

sizes, fine and coarse. 75 cts per 100 lbs.

The Champion Chicken Marker. Many times
persons wish to mark their young chicks with a
permanent mark that they may identify them
when grown. This can be done by punching a
small hole in the web between the toes when the
chicks are taken from the nest. The hole will
remain during the life of the fowl. In this way
records of matings may be kept. It will also
serve to identify your birds in the event they
are stolen. Sixteen different marks can be made
by making holes between different toes.
The Champion marker is especially designed
for this purpose. Made in two sizes, large for
old fowls, small for chicks. Price, prepaid, 25 cts.

Incubators and
Brooders
(State Agents for Mandy Lee)
The new 600-egg Mandy Lee,
herein illustrated, may be set 150,
300, 450 or 600 eggs at a time. The
upper deck, having an extra deep
nursery and some bottom heat, is
especially adapted, if so desired,
for hatching ‘extra —lasee errs
such as Turkey, Goose or Os-
trich.
AUTOMATIC REGULATOR.
Is on all Mandy Lees. Regu-
lates heat, moisture and ventila-
tion automatically. Two dampers:
One controls heat, as in all incu-
bators, but the other (the one over
the small pipe) acts in conjunc-
tion with the heat damper and au-
tomatically regulates moisture
and ventilation just as accurately
as heat is regulated on other incu-
bators. This means 300 per cent
efficiency with a Mandy Lee as
compared with any other incuba-
tor.
This is the new 600-egg 1913 Model Mandy Lee; the finest thing ever offered to the
poultry world, adapted for everything from hen to ostrich eggs: complete adjustment and auto-
matic regulation of every feature, heat, moisture and ventilation. .

The Sand Tray Prairie State
Every chick hatched in a Prairie State Sand
Tray Incubator is bubbling over with vitality the
minute it pops out of the shell and you can rest
assured it will thrive and grow rapidly.
Read the following brief descriptions and if
you want more information—more evidence of
Prairie State superiority—write for our large il-
lustrated catalogue—we gladly mail it free.
SPECIAL FEATURES.
All Prairie State Incubators have slides for
the trays on top of the machine for cooling and
handling the eggs. The machine contains no
diaphragms of any description. The egg-cham-
ber is deeper than any other machine, giving
plenty of head room and a large air space. Each
machine contains double system of ventilation.
Eggs may be ventilated by diffusion, or by the
opening of a single slide a direct current down-
ward can be secured through the eggs, and it is
intended to be used only in drying off the chicks
after the hatch is over. The bottom of the ma-
chine is covered with burlap mat so it can in-
stantly be cleaned. Every known feature that
will aid the operator, save time, make _ results
sure and easy, has been incorporated in this in-
cubator. It has the widest latitude, will work
under greater variations of outside temperature,
dry or moist air conditions, than any incubator
ever constructed.
SAND TRAY PRAIRIE STATE INCUBATORS.
Are supplied with nursery, removable burlap
mat, galvanized wire bottom egg-trays, with re-
movable or testing slats to prevent the eggs from
rolling when tray is not full. Galvanized sand
trays covering entire bottom of machine.

MOISTURE.
Did you ever notice the hen that steals her nest
on the ground? That’s natural incubation. And
she usually hatches every egg, don’t she? We've
copied her. We use a wet sand tray, covering
the entire bottom of the machine in close proxi-
mity to the eggs, thus furnishing the proper
amount of moisture and reducing the evaporation
from the eggs to the sume per cent (9 to 11 per
cent) aS under the hen. This insures chicks full
of vitalitv—chicks that live—just like hen-
hatched chicks. Non-moisture machines hatch
weak, small chicks of low vitality, hence the
heavy death loss during the first two weeks.
REGULATOR.
The regulator is our new, improved, all-steel
and zine thermostat, built on new and original
lines, very powerful, safe and sure.
VENTILATION.
To develop the growing germ strong in vitality
requires an almost unlimited amount of pure
fresh air. Ventilation in the Prairie State is
two to three times as great as in any other ma-
chine, but does not pass through the eggs; it
passes over the eggs. The eggs are ventilated
by diffusion perfectly, but are not dried.
BUCKEYE INCUBATOR.
Guaranteed to hatch every hatchable egg and
remain in perfect working order for five years.
No possible chance of failure. A beginner can
operate them just as successfully as the experi-
enced poultryman.
Tt is easy to keep every egg in exactly the
same temperature all the time with the “Buck-
eye Circulating Hot Water System.” It is a self-
regulator. The only thing you-have to do is to
keep the lamp burning and turn the eggs twice
a day.
Buckeyes are made in three styles: Style A 60-
egg, Style C 50-egg, and Buckeye Standard in 60,
110, 220 eggs. <All machines bear Underwriters
label and come with complete equipment for
hatching.

International Sanitary Hover
The Internalional Sanitary Hover, invented by J. M. Foster, founder of the great Rancocas
Poultry Farm and Fresident of the International Poultry Sales Company, differs widely from other
brooding devices in principle and construction.
Perhaps the strongest distinguishing feature of the Sanitary Hover is the fact that it is
warmest at the curtain. This causes the chicks to distribute themselves near the edge of the
crutain, where there is plenty of fresh air, instead of crowding to the center to trample one another
or die of suffocation. The Sanitary is not a center-heat hover. It heats by radiation from an
overhead dome—not by the draft system common to many hovers.
The Sanitary Hover can be picked up and carried around with ease and used anywhere,
lt is well suited to portable brooders and colony houses—provided they are at least 30 inches
wide—but will yield equally good results in a hen house, a barn, a cow Stall, a piano or organ
case, or even a dry goods box in a place sheltered from wind and rain. Expensive brooder houses
have been rendered unnecessary by the Sanitary Hover.
The Sanitary Hover is circular in shape and has no corners for chicks to crowd into. It
is metal throughout and fireproof, no solder being used in constructing it. The absence of crevices
and seams simplifies the probiem of keeping the hover free from vermin.
No carpenter werk is required to set up the Sanitary Hover—no cutting of holes nor build-
ing of platforms. The hover sits on the floor just as the mother hen does and is as free as she
is from ramifications. The hover and the surrounding floor space are always on_ the
same level.
The lamp of the Sanitary Hover can be lifted out through the top by the operator while
standing up. The operator does not have to kneel in dust or mud to tend the lamp. There is no
possibility of gases or fumes from the lamp getting into the air breathed by the chicks, be-
cause in order to do so they have to pass through the metal ceiling. This they cannot do.
The Sanitary Hover allows 540 square inches of hovering space—nearly 200 square inches
more than is allowed by other standard hovers. [t will accommodate 100 chicks, providing ample
room for them. The claim of the makers of the Sanitary Hover that it will raise a higher per-
centage of the chicks entrusted to its care than will any other brooding device, is supported by
the testimony of hundreds. Among the warm endorsers of the Sanitary Hever are such prom-
inent and successful poultry raisers as the Kellerstras Poultry Farm, Owen Farms, Wm.
Cook & Sons and Rufus Delafield.
Gas may be used to heat the Sanitary Hover if the operator has on his place city gas
or a generator. The hover is supplied with a thermometer so placed that the handle is within
easy reach, though the bulb hangs down among the chicks at the back level. When the operator
wants to find out the temperature of the air among the chicks, he has only to lift the ther-
mometer, look at it and drop it back. The thermometer is encased in wood in such a way
as to protect the bulb against damage.
Other advantages possessed by the Sanitary Hover are its great heating capacity;
the lecation of the peep hole, which makes it easy for the operator to see his lamp without
siooping: the fact that the lamp can be removed in an instant without disturbance of the chicks,
and that the flame cannot be put out by an ordinary wind or rain; and the durability of the
hever, which cannot be burned nor broken and will not warp and fall apart.
During the fall and winter months the Sanitary Hover can be used to sprout oats and
so provide the winter supply of green food. Twelve quarts of oats sprouted under the Sanitary
Hover will give in 8 days 2% bushels of green food—enough to feed 500 laying hens 3. days.
As an oat sprouter alone the Sanitary Hover will pay for itself many times over. Ask pfor
free circular explaining method of sprouting oats with this hover.
We are agents for the International Sanitary Hover and have it on exhibition on
our fioor. A cordial invitation is extended to customers to eall and examine the _ hover.
A large descriptive catalog explaining various uses of this popular hover will be mailed free on re-
quest. The price is $8.50 net, f. 0. b. Tampa.
If printed directions are followed we guarantee that the Sanitary Hover will prove satisfactory.
