The CADWELL & JONES Annual

Catalog and Price-List of Seeds
Farm Supplies, Agricultural Implements

“The HIGH STANDARD always maintained merits the
discrimination, distinction and preference given our seeds.”

HIS sentence has appeared on the title-page of our catalog for several years, and has
almost become a part of our creed. When this business was established, more than
seventy years ago, two words, ‘“‘High Standard,’’ were made test-marks by which all
our seeds or implements were judged. We have adhered rigidly to our ideals.

The seeds we offer are varieties that we know have been tested under all con-

ditions. The amateur gardener, who grows vegetables for his own table, or flowers

to decorate his home, has found them to be the varieties just suited to his efforts. They have ~
responded to his care with loads of vegetables and armfuls of flowers.

The market-gardener, whose income depends on the success of his crop, pins his faith to ““High
Standard’’ Seeds. He has found that they grow, that they produce big crops which bring the highest
prices in the market and please his trade season after season—and that these crops are produced
with a minimum of labor.

It is extremely gratifying to us to know that our customers appreciate the High Standard of
our seeds, and that year after year orders come from those who have learned to depend on every-
thing that comes from our store.

SUGGESTIONS TO THOSE WHO ORDER FROM THIS CATALOG

HOW TO ORDER BY MAIL. Use order sheet herewith. Be particular to sign your name,
post-office, county and state on each and every order or letter sent us; also give shipping directions.

NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES

Laxtonian Pea

A WONDERFULLY PRODUCTIVE NEW SECOND-EARLY VARIETY OF SUPERI
SWEETNESS AND QUALITY es

: The Laxtonian Pea is a splendid dwarf Pea of recent introduction, which already has taken
its place as the leader in quality, productiveness and general satisfaction. The demand for this
variety is enormous in every locality where it is known; in fact, with the short crops of 1911, all that
were produced for seed were sold to growers before the catalogs were issued. This year we fortu-
nately have been able to secure a large supply, and we want all of our customers to try this wonderful
Pea. It deserves a place in every garden.

The Laxtonian Pea was introduced by the English growers of Thomas Laxton and Gradus.
It resembles Gradus in the size and shape of pod. Thomas Lax-
ton and Gradus stood in a class by themselves for quality, but
this new Pea equals them in both flavor and productiveness.
In fact, it isa dwarf Gradus. Thevines grow about 12 inches
high, and are filled with immense, dark green pods containing
eight or nine large Peas each. The crop ripens a few days later
than Gradus. Pt. 25 cts., qt. 50 cts., 4 qts. $1.85, pk. $3.50,
bus. $13.50.

Sutton’s Excelsior Pea

This great Pea is very hardy, and can be planted earlier than
the other Peas of its class. The vines grow 12 to 18 inches high
and bear very heavy crops. In form of growth it is similar to
Nott’s Excelsior, but it bears large, broad pods filled with large
Peas, tender and of the most delicious flavor. The pods are larger
and broader than the usual dwarf Peas, are square at the ends
and are light green in color. Each is well filled, and a peck of
Sutton’s Excelsior will give more shelled Peas than a peck of
any other early variety. This choice dwarf wrinkled Pea is pre-
ferred by many to the Gradus, and takes the place in this class
so acceptably filled by Stratagem and Telephone in the later
sorts. Sutton’s Excelsior is sturdy and branching in habit,
requiring no stakes. It continues in bearing for a considerable
time and is in the front rank. Market-gardeners find it an
excellent sort, because the large pods soon fill a basket, and home-
gardeners are delighted with it because of its quality. We most
confidently recommend it; our sales for this Pea have increased
greatly and many of our customers have spoken most enthu-
Sete of it. Pt. 20 cts., qt. 40 cts., 4 qts. $1.40, pk. $2.50,
bus. $9.

Little Marvel Pea

This new Pea is superior to American Wonder or Nott’s Excel-
sior in that it matures earlier, the pods are a little larger and
contain more Peas. The pods are dark green in color, and keep
fresh for several days after picking. The vines are dwarf, strong
growers and bear heavily. We consider it a great improvement
over many of the early sorts. Pt. 20 cts., qt. 40 cts., 4 qts.
$1.25, pk. $2.40, bus. $8.75.

New Burpee Improved Bush Lima Bean

This is the earliest, largest and best of all Dwarf Bush Lima
Beans. The pods are uniformly much larger than those of the
best standard strains of Burpee’s Bush Lima, and both pods and
Beans are not only much larger in size but are nearly twice as
thick. The Beans are enormous—the largest yet known—but
even when of full size they are of the most delicious flavor, thin-
skinned, tender and luscious. The pods are from 5 to 6 inches
long and 114 inches wide. The blossom-bearing stalks are thrown
well out from the foliage, and the pods are formed in what might
be called clusters of from five to eight. The bushes make a vigor-
ous growth, stiffly erect, with heavy foliage. They measure 30
inches in height and 20 inches across the top when fully developed.
The Beans when dried are pure white, like those of the large pole
Lima, instead of showing a greenish white coloring like the old

PAS: Burpee Bush Lima. pt. 10 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 40 cts.,
LAXTONIAN PEA 4 qts. $1.25, pk. $2.50, bus. $9.

Cadwell & Jones, Seeds and Agricultural Implements, Hattford, Conn.

Thorburn’s Valentine Dwarf Wax Bean

This Bean is nearly stringless, with meaty, round, tender pods
of most excellent quality. It is extra early—as early as the earliest,
and is more productive than almost any other variety. It has no
equal as a pickling Bean, retaining its beautiful, waxy appearance
better than any other we know. The vines are vigorous, of medium
size, and hold the pods well above the ground, preventing them from
spotting in wet weather. This Bean is of exceptional value because
of all four of its great qualities: Fine flavor, earliness, vigorous growth
and productiveness. It is not unusual to have a crop ready to pick
in thirty-five days after planting. It is unequaled in uniformity of
ripening, which makes it one of the most profitable sorts for the
gardener. Our stock is unusually choice, being grown especially for
us from seeds of the most prolific plants. If only one variety of
Wax Bean is to be planted, it should be Thorburn’s Valentine.
Pt. 15 cts., qt. 30 cts., 4 qts. $1, pk. $1.75, bus. $6.50. _

Peep-o’-Day Sweet Corn

MOST DELICIOUS EARLY KIND

Peep-o’-Day is from ten days to two weeks, earlier than any other
extra-early Sweet Corn. It bears two or three ears to each stalk,
and the grains are wonderfully sweet. Theears are about 5 inches long,
perfectly formed, well filled, delicate and dainty, just right to handle
at the table. The stalks grow 3% to 4% feet high, which admits of
their being planted close together, giving greater productiveness.
Peep-o’-Day is very hardy and may be planted earlier in the season
than other varieties. Because of its fine flavor many plant it for
successive crops, instead of using the later varieties. Pkt. 10 cts.,
qt. 20 cts., 4 qts. 75 cts., pk. $1.25, bus. $4.50.

Golden Bantam Sweet Corn
EXTRA-EARLY, RICH IN FLAVOR, BEAUTIFULLY COLORED

Golden Bantam is a wonderfully prolific and fine-flavored, extremely
early Sweet Corn. Its quick ripening and productiveness have made
it popular over the entire country. Golden Bantam is so named <=
because the Corn, when ready for use, is a rich creamy yellow, making * ee
it most attractive. The ears are from 5 to 7 inches in length, and PEEP-O’-DAY SWEET CORN
are borne two to four to a stalk. They make up in productiveness
what they lack in size. The grains fill the ear to the tip and are extremely tender and sweet. It
is vigorous and extra hardy, and can be planted earlier than the white varieties. Pt. 15 ets., qt.
25 cts., 4 qts. 90 cts., pk. $1.60, bus. $6.

Davis Perfect Cucumber

In shape these Cucumbers are slim and symmetrical, with an average length of 10 to 12 inches.

They have a rich, glossy dark green color, and, when grown outdoors, resemble the hothouse prod-

uct so closely that even dealers cannot tell the difference. The quality is perfect, very tender and

brittle, with good, firm flesh and small seed-cavities. The seeds are very soft when the Cucumber

is fit for table use. This is the best strain of Cucumbers for forcing under glass and for growing in

the open ground and brings the best prices. It is as early as the earliest type of White Spine, and

far more prolific, besides being better in shape and color. It outyields every other sort. The Davis

Perfect holds its color and brittleness until it is nearly ripe, when it turns white without the sign

_ of a yellow streak. The seed we offer is selected from the choicest and most shapely specimens.
Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 14lb. 25 cts., lb. 85 cts.

FORDHOOK FAMOUS CUCUMBER
3

Cadwell & Jones, Seeds and Agricultural Implements, Hartford, Conn.

Fordhook Famous Cucumber

Averages 12 to 14 inches long, with beau-
tiful white flesh, firm, crisp and fine-flavored.
Seed space is small. Vines are unusually
vigorous and bear big crops. Cucumbers are
of the true White Spine type, straight, smooth
and regular in form, and a very dark green.
They retain their color wonderfully and con-
tinue in bearing all the season. This is one
of the choicest kinds for either the home
table or for the market. Pkt. 5 ets., oz.
10 cts., 4lb. 25 ects., ib. 85 ects.

Hartford Bronzed Head
Lettuce

Unlike any other sort. The leaves are
glossy, as though covered with a thin coating
of salad oil, and are thick and tender. They
have the appearance of being blistered or

HARTFORD BRONZED HEAD LETTUCE crimped. This Lettuce forms large, compact

heads of a dark bronze-red color, shading to

dark green toward the root. The heart i is a rich creamy yellow. Pkt. 5 ets., oz. 15 e*s.,
lh. 50 cts., Ib. $1.60.

Maine Seed Potatoes
THAT WILL GIVE YOU BIGGER, BETTER AND MORE PROFITABLE CROPS

In line with our policy of securing for our customers the best that can be had in seeds, we
have our Seed Potatoes grown on the newly cleared lands of the cold northeast Aroostook County,
Maine. It is well known that the father north Seed Potatoes are grown, the earlier, surer, sounder
and larger will be the crop that they will produce in more southerly locations. Home-grown Seed
Potatoes will “‘run out,’’ and the vigor of northern-grown seed is needed to keep the varieties at
their best. Our seed is grown as far north as it can be grown, and every precaution has been taken
in selecting the seed-stock and in planting, cultivating, harvesting and storing. Every sort is war-
ranted true to name, for mixing of varieties has been guarded against. Our Maine-grown Seed
Potatoes come up quickly and grow rapidly, with strong, vigorous vines and broad leaves. They
produce big crops where home-grown seed fails.

CavuTION. Do not be misled by price into buying cheaper seeds put up in barrels and branded
to suit by commission merchants who have no reputation as seedsmen to sustain. An attempt to
save a few cents a bushel in this way is costly economy.

For lists of varieties, see page 23. Write us for prices.

LANGDON’S NORTHERN ADIRONDACK EARLIANA TOMATOES
4

Cadwell & Jones, Seeds and Agricultural Implements, Hartford, Conn.

New Giant Lucullus Swiss Chard, or Spinach Beet

The “Giant Lucullus’’ is the most valuable improved variety of Chard. The leaves are from
Io to 20 inches long, and thick and broad like rhubarb. The midribs of the leaf are Io to 12 inches
long. The leaf is heavily crumpled, very crisp and tender. The midribs may be cooked like asparagus
or made into very good pickles, while the leaves may be used for greens; or the leaves may be picked
when they are small, and cooked entire. The seed should be sown as early in the spring as the
ground can be worked, in rows 16 inches apart, and the plants should be thinned out to 6 inches in
the rows. When the plants are large enough, you can cut the leaves, letting the stalks remain; new
leaves will form on them throughout the season. A double row, 5 feet long, will furnish a liberal
supply for a family of six persons. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 14lb. 30 cts., lb. $1.

Langdon’s Northern Adirondack Earliana Tomato

The superiority of the Earliana Tomato is so well known that it outsells all other kinds. This
Tomato is a selected strain of the Earliana, grown year after year near the Canadian line, where
the vines never are injured by blight, and where the short, cool season increases earliness and vigor.
The Langdons have been improving this variety for nine years, saving the seed from the choicest
plants in great fields, selected because of their heavy-bearing qualities, earliness, large size, thick,
blocky shape, smoothness, color and uniformity in ripening. Langdon’s Earliana is superior to the
ordinary stock in its earliness and in the fact that a considerable portion of the whole crop ripens
early and at the same time, while other Tomatoes are scarce and prices are good. The uniformity of
the crop is marked, the Tomatoes being large and smooth, with few unmarketable specimens. It
is particularly desirable for the gardener who grows Tomatoes for the earliest market. Pkt. 10 cts.,
Y4oz. 40 ets., oz. 60 cts., lb. $2, lb. $6.

Lawn Grass Seed

We take great pride in the quality of our Lawn Grass Seed, and steady increasing sales show
that this quality is appreciated. To prepare a good lawn you must have seed of the proper kind
and use plenty of it; you cannot produce a fine and beautiful lawn with ordinary hay seed. Next
in importance is the proper preparation of the soil. Spade or plow it deeply, fertilize freely, and make
it fine, free from clods and perfectly level, avoiding uneven places.

When to Sow. Plant early in spring or fall at the rate of three or four bushels to the acre.
In the spring sow as early as possible, raking the surface of the soil very fine and then sowing the seed.
Cover by rolling with a light roller. In the fall sow before the autumn rains have ceased. One quart
of our mixture will sow a space 16 feet square.

; 7 This is a mixture of numerous varieties selected
Cap ital City Lawn Grass. especially to produce a fine, velvety turf. Some

kinds are used because they spread along the surface of the ground and keep the lawn ‘“‘knit together,”
others are used because they thrive in dry weather and keep the lawn green, and still others because
they thrive early in the spring and late in the fall. No one grass can make a good lawn. A scientific
blending is necessary. The grasses in the Capital City Mixture are native hardy kinds which will
not winter-kill, and which will produce a fine sod, not only under favorable conditions but also
under trees and in shady spots. In the Capital City Mixture there is every good grass and no bad
ones. It is not made from a ready-made formula, but is compounded of species generally more ex-
pensive and more satisfactory than those that go into the ordinary mixture. It is not a cheap
Lawn Grass but it is sold as cheaply as we can sell it considering the cost of the materials. Pt.
15 cts., qt. 25 cts., 2 qts. 45 ets., 4 qts. 75 cts., pk. $1.25, bus. of 20 Ibs. $5.

English Lawn Grass. This is composed of good Grasses, but less expensive

ee ee. . than those used in opr Capital City. Lawn Grass, and will
give results better than ordinary mixtures. Qt. 20c., 2 qts. 35c., 4 qts. 60c., pk. $1, bus. $4.

Giant Orchid-Flowered Sweet Peas

These are an entirely new type of Sweet Peas, of enormous size, and with standards and wings
peculiarly waved and crinkled. The blossoms are much larger and more beautiful than any here-
tofore known. Orchid-flowered Sweet Peas bloom more profusely than others. A large percentage
of them bear three or four immense blossoms on each stem. The stems are large and strong, a
feature of exceptional value for cutting. ;

Cadwell & Jones Splendid Mixed Nasturtiums

We use no ready-mixed seed for this stock, but blend the seeds in our store. Our Splendid
Mixed Nasturtiums contain the finest sorts, comprising more than twenty distinct shades, in both
tall and dwarf varieties. The colors range from pearl-white to dark chocolate, yellow and scarlet,
bronze and violet-ruby, etc. Nasturtiums are grown easily, endure wet and dry weather, and thrive
best on rather poor soil. They blossom profusely until frost. Good for hanging baskets, etc. Our
tall and dwarf*kinds are mixed separately.

The tall sorts grow 3 to 6 feet high; the dwarf 12 to 18 inches. Price, either kind, pkt.

For complete list of varieties see page 35

FARMOGERM (Nitrogen Bacteria)

Nitrogen is the most expensive element in fertilizers. Farmogerm is a bacteria culture that
causes nodules to develop on the roots of leguminous crops—peas, beans, clover, etc. The nodules
take the nitrogen from the air, turning it into soluble nitrate that feeds the crops. With Farmogerm
you can double your crops and successfully grow alfalfa in every section. Government REPORTS say
that inoculation gives $30 worth of nitrate for $2.

A 32-page book telling all about the wonderful results obtained from Farmogerm sent free
for the asking. All the nitrates you need for an acre for $2. Garden sizes for peas, beans, and sweet
peas, 50 cts. each.

We have as near as possible arranged the different varieties

kinds first, medium early next and so on.

ASPARAGUS

Asparagus can be grown from seed or propagated from roots.
Sow the seed in April or May on good soil in drills 12 to 14 inches
apart. When one or two years old transplant as early in the spring
as the ground can be worked into permanent beds, made very rich
and thoroughly trenched 2 feet or more in depth. Set the plants
in rows 2 feet apart and 12 inches between the plants in the row.
Care should be taken that the roots are well spread and set at a
depth of 6 inches below the level of the bed. Cover only 2 or 3 inches
and fill in gradually as the plants grow. Very little, if any, should
be cut the first year after transplanting, but a fair crop can be cut
the second year. Every fall after the tops have been cut down, apply a
dressing of coarse manure, and in the spring fork it in. An occasional
top dressing of salt is also beneficial, and keeps down the weeds.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Popular for the little buds like cabbage heads, that develop thickly along
the stalk. These are cooked the same as cabbage or cauliflower, and have a
pleasing delicate flavor. Brussels Sprouts do best in rich, well-drained soils.
Sow in seed-beds in May, transplant 2 feet apart and cultivate like cabbage.
The leaves should be broken down in the fall to give the little cabbages room
to grow.

One ounce will produce about three thousand plants

DWARF or BUSH BEANS

Beans are extremely tender, and it is useless to plant them before the first or middle of May,
or before the ground has become light and warm. The best soil for Beans is a light, well-drained loam
which was manured for a previous crop. Plant in drills 18 inches to 3 feet apart, according to the rich-
ness of the soil—the poorer the soil the nearer together. Sow the Beans 2 or 3 inches apart in the
rows and cover about 1 inch. Hoe frequently, but only when dry. For succession, plant until August.

One quart will plant 1oo feet of drill; 144
bushels for I acre

enough, thin to 4 inches apart. The thinnings can be used for greens if desired. For early, sow as
soon as the ground can be worked, and continue for succession until the first of July. Mangels and
Sugar Beets require liberal manuring and should stand 10 to 12 inches apart in the rows.

CABBAGE

Always be sure that your Cabbage seed is grown from well-formed, selected heads. The ground
should be a heavy, moist, rich loam, highly manured, deeply dug or plowed and thoroughly worked.
For early plants sow in mid-September, and protect in coldframes through the winter. The more
common way is to sow in hotbeds in February or March and prick out into coldframes. to be trans-
planted when danger of frost is past. Early varieties should set 18 inches by 2 feet; fall and winter
sorts 28 inches apart each way. The late autumn and winter varieties may be sown in a seed-bed,
from the middle to close of spring, and transplanted when about 6 inches high. Shade and water
in dry weather. See that the plants stand thinly in the seed bed; if they come up thick prick them
out-into beds 4 to 6 inches apart. They can then be moved with earth attached, on a moist day,
without damage. Transplant just at evening, giving each plant water at the root. Hoe every
week, more deeply as they advance, drawing up a little more earth each time, until they begin to
head, when they should be fairly dug between and hilled up.

One ounce of seed will produce -
about 3,000 plants

in drills, 14 inches apart; cover not more
than 4 inch and thin to 4 inches apart in
the rows. Like all root crops, a rich sandy
loam, deeply cultivated, which has been
well manured for a previous crop, is most
suitable for Carrots. Strong, fresh manure
should never be used.

CAULIFLOWER

There is no vegetable grown more delicious than the Cauliflower. With a deep, rich soil, plenty
of moisture and thorough cultivation, it is as easily grown as cabbage. For early, the seed may be
sown in September and the plants wintered in well-protected coldframes, or sown in hotbeds early
in March and when sufficiently large transplanted in coldframes and gradually hardened by expo-
sure. When the weather will permit, set in the open ground in rows 3 feet apart and 2 feet between
the plants in the row. For fall crops sow at the same time, and treat in the same manner as late
cabbage. Cauliflower will not head in hot, dry weather, therefore the time of planting should be
regulated so they will head either in early summer or autumn. Keep well watered when they begin
to head. If the leaves are drawn up and tied loosely over the head it will hasten blanching. Cut
before the flower begins to open.

One ounce will produce about 2,000 plants

GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING CELERY

CELERY

Celery, more than any other vegetable, demands intelligent and careful culture. The seed is
very small and is slow to germinate; with the inexperienced a good stand of plants is an exception.
For early, sow in shallow boxes in gentle heat in February and March and for later sow about the
middle of April in a finely prepared seed-bed, in rows so that the plants can be kept free froth weeds.
Cover not more than 44 of an inch, and press down firmly with the back of the spade or a board. Be
sure and keep the bed constantly moist, a partially shaded location is favorable on this account; or
cover the bed with a light matting or burlap, directly on the soil until the plants begin to prick
through the ground, when it should be immediately removed. When large enough to handle, thin and
transplant to 4 inches apart. Clip off the tops when about 4 inches high to make them stocky. Plant
out from the middle of June until the middle of July in rows 4 to 5 feet apart, and 8 inches apart in
the rows. Care should be taken in setting, not to cover the crowns and to press the earth firmly about
the roots. Keep:it well cultivated until a month before it is wanted, when it should be hilled or
banked for blanching; this should be done gradually, usually in two or three operations a week or
so apart, the last time almost to the tips of the leaves. Select a rich, deep sandy loam, rather moist.

One ounce will produce about 4,000 plants

Paris Golden Self-Blanching. Its fine, Pink Plume. This variety is practically

CUCUMBERS, LONG GREEN

CUCUMBERS

For early Cucumbers, start in the hotbed about the middle of April upon pieces of heavy sod,
grass side down. When the weather will permit, remove to carefully prepared hills in the open ground
and protect with boxes when the air is cold. For the main crop, as soon as the weather has become
settled and warm, prepare hills 4 feet apart, using a shovelful of warm, well-rotted manure to each
hill; cover this 2 inches with fine earth, and plant fifteen to twenty seeds 14 of an inch deep. Press
down with the back of the hoe. When the plants begin to crowd and the danger from bugs is past,
thin to four vines to the hill. Pick all Cucumbers when large enough; if left to ripen on the vines they
will cease to be productive. For a succession, plant at intervals. For pickles, plant from the middle
of June until the middle of July. a

LETTUCE

For early plants, the seed may be sown in September and transplanted into coldframes for pro-
tection during the winter, or sow in February or March in hotbeds with a moderate bottom heat,
cover lightly and thin sufficiently to prevent crowding; gradually harden by exposure. Transplant
to the open ground in a sheltered location in April; set in rows 1 foot apart, and 6 inches apart in the
row; when heads begin to form, thin out by using alternate plants in the rows; for succession, sow
in prepared beds as soon as the ground can be worked and at intervals of two weeks during the sum-
mer. To be crisp and tender, its growth should be vigorous and rapid, which requires rich soil, plenty
of well-rotted manure and an abundance of moisture.

MELONS

A warm, rich sandy loam is best
adapted for Melon culture. The mid-
dle of May is early enough for planting
in the open ground, but the crop can
be forwarded by starting in hotbeds
on sods and transplanting the same
as cucumbers. Plant in hills 6 feet
apart each way for Muskmelons, and
8 feet for Watermelons. Mix in the
hill one or two shovelfuls of well-
rotted manure, press down and cover
with earth; plant on this a dozen or
more seeds 4% an inch deep. When
danger of bugs is over, thin to three
plants in a hill. When the main shoots
are afew feet long, pinch off the ends,
to force the laterals on which the fruit
is borne. Spraying with Bordeaux
mixture will generally prevent dam-
age by bugs. Another good way is to
plant squashes a few weeks before-
hand, and destroy the bugs that
gather on the leaves.

MUSHROOMS

Mushrooms are very easy to grow in any dark place where a uniform temperature of 50 to 60
degrees may be had. A dark cellar or shed, for example. Plant from September till January, in
a bed composed of one-fourth loam and three-fourths fresh horse droppings, without much litter;
mix thoroughly, put into a heap to ferment and work frequently till it has cooled off somewhat.

Now prepare a bed 4 feet wide, as long as desired and build up ona firm, dry foundation.
Pack the soil and manure solidly till the bed is level and about a foot high.

Thrust a thermometer into the center; when it registers 85 degrees, break the Mushroom spawn
into pieces about as large as hen’s eggs and plant it 2 inches deep and Io inches apart all over the
bed, cover and press down thoroughly. After ten days or two weeks, cover the bed with 2,inches of
fine, fresh loam, pressed down firmly, and over this put 5 or 6 inches of straw or litter. If room is
dry, spray occasionally with warm water. The Mushrooms will begin to appear in four to six weeks.
They bring a good price, and are worth growing either for home or market.

ONIONS

The Onion is not so particular about the character of the original soil as many suppose. Good
crops can be obtained on almost any soil not too wet or too dry, except a stiff clay, light sand, or
‘hungry gravel. It is essential, however, that the land should be made rich by the thorough incorpo-
ration of manure in clean tillage for at least two years from the sod; heavy or rather clayey or moist
(not wet) loam generally produces the largest Onions. If coarse manure is to be used, spread on
twenty or thirty loads to the acre
about the middle of November
and plow in, not very deep. In
March or April, as soon as the
ground will work, plow 4 inches
deep, and spread on a good dress-
ing of fine compost, bone dust, or
fertilizer. Harrow and cross har-
row until the soil is fine and level.
However early, a favorable op-
portunity to put in the seed should
not be allowed to pass. Sow in
drills 12 inches apart in the garden
and 14 inches apart for field cul-
ture, cover Winch. It requires
four to six pounds for an acre,
five pounds is about right for

ONIONS, continued

the utmost importance to use good seed, not only good strong-growing seed, but seed that has been
raised from good-sized, well-ripened, selected Onions. They require three or four weedings in the
row, but if care is taken in sowing to keep the rows straight and uniform the wheel hoe will run
so close to them that there will be but few weeds to remove by hand. It is known to gardeners that
if Onions once get choked with weeds they never fully recover so as to produce a full crop. A top
dressing of wood ashes leached or unleached, applied after the second weeding is very beneficial.

One ounce will sow 1oo feet of drill, 5 pounds for one acre

ONION SETS

Plant on good soil in 12-inch shallow drills, 3 inches apart in the drill, and slightly cover, the
earlier they can be put in the ground the better. Potato Onions should be planted with the crown
of the bulb just below the surface, the large ones 10 inches apart, and the small 4 to 6 inches apart.
Keep free from weeds and gather a little earth to them in the process of cultivation. They are ready
for use as soon as the bulbs begin to be of fair size; those not used in a green condition will ripen early
in July and make nice Onions. Prices variable as to market.

6 to 12 bushels (according to size) are required to set an acre in drills

PEAS

For first-early crop, sow Improved East Hart-
ford Extra-early as soon as the ground can be worked
in spring. Select a rich, light, sandy soil, dry and well-
sheltered.

For the general crop, a deep, rich loam is best;
the soil cannot be too rich for the dwarf varieties.
Avoid using coarse, rank manure, as it drives the plants
to vines without pods.

For market crop, sow in rows 2 to 4 feet apart
according to the variety. In the kitchen garden, sow
the tall varieties in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart,
and stick brush firmly between the rows where the vines
are about 6 inches high. Sow the dwarf varieties in
single rows a foot apart; cover 2 to 4 inches, according
to the character of the soil and the time of planting,
deepest on light soils and in late planting. Deep plant-
ing prevents mildew and prolongs the bearing season,
yet on cold, heavy soils the seed is liable to rot if planted
deep. If drills are made 5 inches deep and the seed covered only
I or 2 inches, the earth can be gradually drawn into the trench
as the plants grow; in this way a good stand can be had at a
good depth. The wrinkled varieties are not so hardy as the hard,
smooth sorts, and cannot be planted so early; they are, however,
the sweetest and best-flavored.

A succession may be had by sowing two weeks after the first-
early, the early, medium-early, medium-late and late varie-
ties at one time, so that they will follow for use one after the
other.

One quart will plant 100
feet of drill, and 144
bushels for one
acre.

PARSNIPS

As it is slow to germinate, plant only new seed and
« that liberally. Sow in April or early in May, in rows 12

to 15 inches apart; cover not more than 4 inch and
press the earth firmly on the seed. When well up, thin
the plants to 4 inches apart in the rows. Parsnips are
improved by frost, therefore a part of the crop should be
left to stand in the ground over the winter.

POTATOES

The Potato seems to thrive in
almost any soil or climate, but a
good sandy loam suits it best. Old
sod plowed the previous fall will
produce the most abundant and
certain crops. On no other crop
are the results from the use of
phosphates more manifest than on
the Potato. Organic manure pro-
motes rot and other diseases, while
commercial fertilizers prevent
them and will grow smooth, fine
tubers. Plant as early in the spring
as the ground can be thoroughly
worked, in rows 3 feet apart and Io
inches apart in the row; plant one
or two eyes in a hill (cut from the
surface to the center of the tuber),
cover 3 to 4 inches. Cultivate "4
frequently from the time the young CARMAN POTATO
plants appear above the surface of .
the ground until they blossom. At each hoeing, throw the earth up to the plant for support and
to develop the side shoots. In some sections, flat culture is preferred to ridging, especially when
drought prevails, or the soil is light and sandy.

From 8 to ro bushels are required to plant an acre

TOMATOES

Tomatoes thrive best on a light, warm, not over-rich soil. For early plants sow in the hotbed
in drills 3 inches apart, four or five seeds to the inch, cover lightly; or they may be started in the
sunny window of a warm room. Transplant when 2 inches high into other hotbeds, or into boxes
or single pots, and place in the frames; if potted, it is well to plunge the pots into the earth level
with their tops. Avoid crowding the plants; 4 inches is as near as they should stand in the frames.
Lift the sash on warm, sunny days, and two or three weeks before setting outside gradually harden
by exposure to the night air. Set 4 feet apart each way in the open ground in May, as soon as danger
from frost is past. For later use sow in the open ground in May, transplant when large enough to
handle. By training the vines on trellises or tying them up to a stake the fruit will ripen better, be of

better quality and of increased productiveness.

Tomato in the world; it is not only remark-
able for its earliness but for its very large,

TURNIPS

The old adage ‘‘sow Turnips the 25th of July, wet or dry”’ still holds good for the main crop, but
excellent results are often obtained from seed planted early in August. New land, plowed the pre-
vious spring, is good; harrow thoroughly and dress liberally with first-class commercial fertilizer.
Sow broadcast and rake or bush in. For summer use, sow early flat varieties as soon as ground
can be worked in spring in drills 12 to 14 inches apart; cover lightly and thin to 6 or 8 inches apart
in the rows. Don’t use fresh manure, as it makes the tubers rough and useless.

Flower Seeds
BRIEF HINTS ON SOWING AND CULTIVATION

The Soil. A mellow loam, which is a medium earth between the extremes ot clay and sand,
enriched with a compost of rotten manure and leaf-mold, is adapted to the general run of flowering
plants. Previous to planting flower-beds or borders, care must be taken that they are so arranged
that the ground may bea little elevated in the middle, that the water may run off, and that the plants
may show to better advantage.

Sowing the Seed. Nine-tenths of the failures in flower culture come from improper treatment
of the seeds and young plants. We urge every purchaser of our seeds to carefully study the cultural
directions printed on each package, and the following general rules.

Do not plant any of the seeds when the ground is wet. Make the surface as fine and smooth as
possible. Cover each sort of seed to a depth proportionate to its size; the finest, like Portulaca,
Campanula, Digitalis, etc., should be merely sprinkled on the surface of the ground, and barely
covered with finely sifted, light, mellow soil. Press the soil down firmly over the seed with a brick
or short piece of board. For large seeds, the depth should be regulated according to the size of the
seed; those the size of a pin-head, M4inch deep, and those the size of a pea, 34 of an inch.

Procure a bit of lath (it would be better if planed smooth) about 2 feet long, press the edge
down into the soil evenly, so as to make a groove as deep as the seed is to be planted; scatter the
seed along this, allowing four or five of the larger to fifteen or twenty of the smaller seeds to the space
one plant is to occupy when grown. Cover the seed by pressing the earth together over it, then turn
your lath sideways and press the soil down firmly and evenly.

are continually bringing out new varieties which
are improvements upon the older sorts in color
and form, until the list now runs up among the
hundreds. In the following list we have dis-
carded many of the older ones without sacrificing
a single variety not reproduced in an improved
larger form under another name, thus simplify-
ing the process of selection.

For a Mixed Row we especially recommend
Cadwell and Jones’ Splendid Mixed, which
is made up of all the named sorts listed below,
in good proportions, so that the effect while
in bloom on the vines or for bunching is hand-

Snapdragon (Aniirrhinum majus)

An old border plant, with dark and glossy
leaves and large, curiously shaped flowers, with
finely marked throats. They have been much
improved of late years by careful selection.
They blossom the first season from seed sown
in spring. Tender perennials.

Fine Mixed. 2 to 3 ft. Pkt. 5 cts.

or in warm situations out-of-doors. Half-hardy
annuals.

Mixed Varieties. Pkt. 5 cts.

Verbena

Verbenas in quantity are more easily obtained
from seed than from cuttings, and there is, more-
over, a chance of raising novelties. Sown in
spring, they flower quite early in the season, and
a single plant in good rich soil will cover a
space 4 or 5 feet in diameter, producing, if the
flowers are cut as they begin to fade, a mass
of bloom until killed by frost. Half-hardy per-

Selected Farm Seeds

SEED GRAINS

Prices on seed in the following list fluctuate with
the market, and will be quoted on reyuest

Barley

Barley is largely grown in New England for a
late fodder crop. It can be sown from early
spring until September; as it withstands the
most severe frosts, it makes the best of green
feed long after all other kinds are gone. It is
also often mixed with field peas, being equally
hardy. Sow about two bushels per acre; if with
peas, one bushel of each.

Rye

Spring. This is especially valuable for a
“catch crop’ to sow where winter grain has
failed. The straw is some shorter and stiffer
than the winter variety and is always easily
secured, while the grain, although smaller, is
of equal value. Sow about one and one-half
bushels per acre.

Winter White. Sow from the middle of
August to the last of September. Prepare the
ground as for wheat and sow broadcast, or with
a drill at the rate of one and one-half bushels
per acre. This has no equal as a crop to be used
for late fall and early spring pasture, and is-one
of the best to turn under for green manure.

Japanese Buckwheat

Plants large and vigorous, maturing seed early
and resisting drought and blight remarkably
well; the grain is much larger and has a thinner
hull than the Common or Silver Hull. Buck-
wheat should be sown about the 2oth of June,
broadcast, at the rate of about three pecks per
acre; the average yield being from twenty-five
to thirty bushels. It should be threshed as soon
as dry, for if allowed to stand in mass, it quickly
gathers moisture. The flowers make a splendid
forage for bees, which fly for considerable dis-
tances to reach them.

Wheat

Spring and Winter.

ENSILAGE AND FODDER
CROPS

PEAS FOR FODDER. For the northern states
there is no crop of greater value than Field
Peas and none is more neglected, which
can only be attributed to a lack of knowl-
edge as to its merits. Whether for fodder,
in mixture with oats or barley, or sown alone
for plowing under, there is no crop that we
can so strongly recommend as Peas for
more extended culture. Like all leguminous
crops, Peas have the power of extracting
nitrogen from the air, and the soil from
which a crop of Peas has been harvested is
richer in nitrogen than before the Peas were
sown upon it, and there is no kind of live
stock on the farm to which Peas and Oats
or Barley in mixture cannot be fed, to posi-
tive advantage. Prices subject to change.

Canada Field Peas. $2.50 per bus.

Black-eyed Marrowfat Peas. $4.75 per bus.

Blount’s Prolific Corn. $2 per bus.

Leaming’s Dent Corn. $1.75 per bus.

Evergreen Sweet Corn.

Russian Vetch. Lb. 18c., 100 lbs., $16.25.

LEGUMINOUS CROPS

To Plow Under for Green Manuring

Cow-Peas

The great soil improver. Makes poor land
rich. Makes good land more productive. There
is no surer or cheaper means of improving and
increasing the productiveness of soils than by
sowing the Cow-pea. It has more than any other
leguminous plant the power to extract from the
atmosphere nitrogen or ammonia and store this
most costly of soil enrichers in its vines and roots,
so that even if the crop is cut off for fodder or
ensilage, the soil is greatly improved. Where
it is desired to turn the whole crop under as a soil
improver, it is better to do so after the vines are
partly dead.

Cow-peas and Soja Beans may be sown in
June or early in July after crops of grain, early
vegetables, potatoes or strawberries, and make
an enormous growth by October, and have the

or other green crops at the last cultivation in
midsummer.

On account of fluctuations in values which we
eannot anticipate at the time our Catalogue is
issued in January, prices will be quoted upon
application.

Wonderful, or Unknown. This popular
variety, in yield and growth of vines, surpasses
any of the varieties of Cow Peas. It will also
hold its leaves and foliage better than other kinds,
which gives it a decided advantage where it is
sown for forage.

Whippoorwill. A favorite early bunch-
growing variety, with brown-speckled seed. This

variety is a prime favorite in the North and West
on account of its early maturity and habit of
growth.

Mixed Cow Peas. In the Mixed Cow Peas
are the Clay, Southdown, Wonderful, Whippoor-
will and other southern varieties. A great many
farmers prefer to sow in mixture, as they grow
thicker, producing a better crop of vines and
forage, than sowing single varieties alone.

Soja Beans

Unquestionably the richest and most nutri-
tious forage and feed crop grown, making the
“Balanced Feed’’ for hogs, dairy cows, and fat-
tening stock. Is a splendid soil improver and is
unequaled as a drought-resisting crop.

Self - Adjusting Ball-Bearing Lawn Mowers

Lawn Mower Troubles Reduced to a Minimum

Ball-bearing lawn mowers have in the past been open to serious objections on account of the
delicate readjustment required to give satisfactory results. The advent of the new patented self-
adjusting device marks a new era in lawn mowers, and will obviate ninety per cent of the lawn
mower troubles. Simple and effective, it will keep the cutting cylinder of a machine in perfect
adjustment, running easily and doing perfect work until the mower is worn out. All of our ball-
bearing mowers are equipped with this improvement. And the bearings are warranted for five years.

high. The handle 5 feet long. The operator can stand upright while
at work. No backache. More can be done in one hour with it than
can be done in three hours with a hoe. Price, 60 cents.

“Auto-Spray”

A Self-Operating or Automatic Sprayer

Nothing but galvanized steel and solid brass or copper used, with 4-ply
rubber hose—nothing to rust or corrode.

Eight to ten strokes of p!unger in air chamber will compress enough air
to discharge the entire contents and make a continuous spray for ten min-
utes. This means that the sprayer can be charged in fifteen seconds, when it
will work uninterruptedly long enough to spray a quarter-acre of potatoes.

For spraying tall trees, we furnish brass extension piping in 24-inch
lengths, each fitted with coupling.

justable foot-rest which clamps bucket and pump firmly together,
so that the entire outfit can be carried in one hand. Four feet of
34-inch hose provided, with either bordeaux or Vermorel nozzle.

FERTILIZERS

Essex Grass Dressing

This superior dressing is made from chemicals, and is so prepared that it acts gradually through-
out the season, producing a luxuriant growth of grass of arich green color. It is far superior to
lumpy, strawy manure, which disfigures the lawn and gives off an offensive odor. It is less expen-
sive than manure, is nearly odorless, and is easily applied at any time during the spring, summer,
or autumn, or as often as the grass seems to need nourishment. It is also an excellent fertilizer
tor the kitchen garden, and may be used on all garden crops, vegetables, fruits, flowers, etc., in
place of stable manure. Price, 25-lb. bags, $1; 50-lb. bags, $1.75; 100-lb. bags, $3.

Fine Ground Knuckle Bone

Pure bone is a most valuable fertilizer for all crops and plants. It can be applied at any time,
in any quantity desired without danger of doing harm to plant life. As it is not soluble in water
and comes into use only by organic decay, it is much slower in action than the chemical fertilizers,
but retains the effects in the soil correspondingly longer, making it valuable to use on grass plots
in conjunction with chemical fertilizers coming into use in midsummer and autumn to enrich the
soil and feed the roots after the other fertilizers have been exhausted. The grade we handle is
strictly pure, ground from knuckle bones free from meat and marrow, therefore as odorless as
flour. Prices, per lb. 5 cts., 25 lbs. 75 cts., 50 lbs. $1.35, 100 lbs., $2.40, per ton, $40.

Cadwell & Jones, Seeds and Agricultural Implements, Hartford, Conn.

Sheep Manure

This is a pure natural manure, and the most nutri- |
tious food for plants. Its effect is immediate, much more
lasting and healthy than guano or any other manure.
It is the best of all manures for mixing with the soil for
greenhouse plants. It makes the richest, safest and
quickest liquid manure, rivaling guano, without dele-
terious effects. For flower or vegetable gardens, and
as top dressing for lawns it is unequaled. For mixing
with soil, take one part manure to six parts soil. For
making a liquid, take one pound manure to five gal-
7 lons of water, which can be used with safety daily, if

necessary. Per Ib. 5 cts., 25 lbs. 75 cts., 50 Ibs. $1. 25,
100-lb. bag $2, 500 Ibs. or more, special prices upon ap-
plication.

Essex Complete Manure

For Corn, Grain and Grass.—We especially

| Sa ‘ recommend this manure for top-dressing grass land.

ME It is very rich in potash, is rapidly available and will

greatly increase the yield of grass. Use 400 to 500 pounds to the acre. The fertilizer can also be

used with excellent results for seeding to grass. Use 400 to 500 pounds at the time of seeding.

The next year it should be top- -dressed in the spring with about the same quantity per acre, in or-
der to get the best results. Per lb. 5 cts., 25 lbs. 75 cts., 50 lbs. $1.40, 100-lb. bag $2.50.
