INSTRUCTIONS TO PURCHASERS 


AS TO POSTAGE, ETC. 


7LL SEEDS IN PACKETS, OUNCES and QUARTER POUNDS only, are sent free by Mail, at prices 
quoted; Half-pounds, Pounds, Pints, Quarts, and larger quantities, if to be sent by Mail, postage 
must be added to prices quoted at the rate of ten cents per pound, ten cents per pint and fifteen 


cents per quart. 


Order Early.—It will greatly facilitate shipments if orders are sent early. We aim to send off all orders 
the day received. Will make special price to those who use seed in quantity—write for estimate. 

Send the Money with the Order.—Postal Note, Post Office Order, Registered Letter, Express Money 
Order, or Draft on Cincinnati or New York. 


In view of the fact that the express companies make a special low rate on small packages of Seeds, 
Plants and Bulbs, we would suggest that patrons remit by Express Money Orders, which can be ob- 
tained at nearly all the express offices. United States Postage Stamps will be received for small amounts; 
be exceedingly careful about the least moisture getting on them when remitting, as they sometimes reach 
us so stuck together as to be almost worthless. 


We do not send C. 0. D.—Everything being plainly priced, the return charges on money is an unnecessary 
expense. 


Should you change your address, we will esteem it a favor if you will notify us, so we can forward our 
Catalogue with regularity; if you receive two Catalogues of the same kind, please hand one to some friend 
who has a garden. ; 


Should an error occur, we desire to be promptly informed, and will take pleasure in making satisfactory 
corrections. 


Write your Name and Address distinctly and in full; please use the Order Sheet and Envelope inserted 
in this Catalogue. 


We shall always be pleased to reward customers who send us the name and post office address of their 
friends who will buy Seeds, Plants, Bulbs, ete. 


About Warranting Seeds.—We have often been asked if we “guarantee or warrant our Seeds.” We beg 
to state plainly we do not, for the reason that practical experience has assured us of the fact that crops may 
fail, no matter how fresh or pure the seed sown may be. We trust that our customers will fully realize that 
it is to our interest to send none but the very best quality of Seeds. It would be folly to do otherwise, 
unless we wanted to sacrifice our good reputation for selling Reliable Seeds, which we are constantly striving 
to extend. 


To secure success, however, it is necessary that the customer should do his part well, or our good 
seeds will be ruined. With the best of management and with good seeds there will be an occasional unac- 
countable failure. ‘The best of gardeners sometimes fail, and try again with the same seed with good 
results. 


We test all our Seeds before sending them out, and while we exercise the greatest care to have all 
Seeds pure and reliable, we do not give any warranty, express or implied. If the purchaser does not accept 
Seeds on these terms and conditions, they must be returned at once, and the money that has been paid 
for same will be refunded. 


With this issue of our annual Catalogue and Amateurs’ Guide we enter upon the 75th year since 
the founding of our business by the late Mr. J. M. McCullough.

BEANS, DWARF OR BUSH. 


Beans are somewhat tender, but it often pays to take 
some risks. Plant in warm, loamy soil at the beginning 
of settled, warm weather in spring, and at intervals for 
succession until August. Rows may be made 2 feet 
apart, and the Beans planted a few inches apart in the 
drills, or 3 or 4 Beans in hills 6 to § inches apart. 
Cultivate and hoe frequently, always, however, when the 
vines are perfectly dry. In hoeing draw the soil up 
towards the rows or plants. For String Beans, gather 
the pods: clean as soon as fit for use. The plants will 
remain all the longer in bearing. One quart will plant 
100 feet of drill. 


Postage Must be Added if Wanted by Mail. See Postal 
Rates, Second Page of Cover.

An ever increasing acreage is being planted for stock 
beets because of the wonderful. results from feeding 
them. Fattening, breeding and milk cattle do equally 
well on them. About one-fourth of the daily rations 
should be of roots. Sow in rows of 2% to 3 feet apart 
as soon as the ground can be thoroughly worked. Cover

N O T E—Mc- 
Cullough’s ‘‘Louis- 
ville’ Cabbage is 
so well known and 
so much sought 
after that many 
firms are offering 
cheap stocks. We 
have tested many 
of these and find 
some entirely un- 
true and others of 
inferior strains. 
Be sure to get our 
highly selected, 
genuine type di- 
rect from us. 


CABBAGE 


CULTURB.—For 
plants of the ear- 
liest sorts, SOW 
seed in January or 
February under 
glass, and prick 
out in flats or 
frames. about 7 | 
inches apart each 
way. Transplant 
to open ground as 
soon in spring as .. 
the land can be 
properly prepared. 
A rich, warm, fi- 
brous loam is best. 
Have the plants Pes eS 
in the rows 20 to 24 inches apart, and rows at least 2 feet apart. Give thorough cultivation and irrigate 
in dry weather if practicable. Protect the ravages of cutworm maggot and green worm. A little nitrate 
of soda applied around the plant is of great benefit. Potash application, such as wood ashes or muriate, 
may also do much good. For late Cabbage plants, sow seed in drills in open ground during April and 
May, and transplant in June and July, giving the plants more room than allowed for earliest Cab- 
bages. Dusting with tobacco dust, insect powder, etc., or splashing with hot soapsuds, especially 
Fish Oil Soap solution, are good and safe remedies for some of the insect pests attacking plants of 
the Cabbage. 

Sow one ounce for 2000 to 2500 plants; 5 ounces for one acre. 


McCullough’s Early Louisville Drumhead. Originated by us several years ago, and is still the peer of all 
other varieties for early market purposes throughout this section. It is highly esteemed by the 
market gardeners, and it will stand hot weather better than any other sort; will stand the entire 
summer without bursting; in fact, we produced heads that weighed 18 pounds on September 1, hav- 
ing been planted with Jersey Wakefield, which was long unfit for use. Our Louisville forms large, 
solid heads, and is the earliest large-heading variety, while, if planted later, it makes excellent 
heads for winter. The quality is very fine, and is remarkable for its certainty to head. For 
winter use, sow later in the season. We have received expressions of unanimous praise from all 
parts of the country, and could fill many pages of our catalogue with testimonials.

CELERY. | ‘seleric, Ger.) £ ii, 


One Ounce Will Produce About 2,500 Plants. 
To grow early Celery, sow the seed late in March in a hotbed 
or box and for later crops, in the open ground, as soon as the 
weather becomes warm, cover lightly, or better still, roll 
or press it in.. Shade the young plants for a week or ten 
days, and do not let the soil dry out. The tops may be g 
shorn off once or twice before planting, so as to insure * 
“stocky” plants, which will suffer less on being trans- 
planted. When from four to six inches high, transplant 
into broad, shallow trenches, or on -the level ground, 
setting the dwarf sorts into rows three feet apart, and 
the tall varieties four feet apart and six inches apart in 
the rows. The soil should be light, highly manured, par-— 
tially shaded and moist, or near water, as the plant must 
be freely watered in dry weather but it should not be 
put directly on them. Earthing up checks -growth and 
should not begin until quite well grown, then earth up 
gradually, keeping the leaf stocks close together, so that 
the soil may not fall into the center of the plant, but 
never earth up in wet weather, nor when dew is on them. 
That intended for winter and spring use needs little 
banking; when stored for winter it will naturally bleach 
beautifully white. 


McCullough’s Paris Golden Yellow. The best Celery for early 
use. Its rich, golden, yellow color, close habit and 
compact growth, and the readiness with which it is

CUCUMBER. 
One ounce will plant fifty hills; two pounds will plant one acre. 


Culture.—For very early Cucumbers, sow April 1st, in a hotbed upon pieces of sod (grass side down), 
so that they can be readily transplanted to the open ground, in rich soil, when danger of frost is over, 
or protect by hand-glasses. For early use, plant, if the weather has become settled and warm, in hills 
4 to 6 feet apart each way; thin out to four of the strongest plants to each hill, after all danger from 
insects is over. They succeed best in a warm, moist, rich, loamy soil. Continue planting at intervals for 
a succession. The Cucumbers should be gathered when large enough for use, whether required or not; 
if left to ripen, it destroys their productiveness. For pickles, plant from June until the middle of July. 
The yellow-striped cucumber or squash beetle is the most serious insect enemy of this crop. Bordeau 
Arsenate of Lead Mixture is by far the best remedy yet discovered. Dilute it with water, 3 ounces 
to the gallon, and spray it on the vines when in danger of the beetle or blight. 


All seeds in Packets, Ounces and Quarter Pounds 
only, are sent free by mail, at prices quoted; Half- 
Pounds and larger quantities if to be sent by mail, 
Postage must be added to prices quoted. See postal 
rates, second page of cover.

EGG PLANT. (Eierpflanze, Ger.) 


. One Ounce Will Produce About 1,000 Plants. 


CULTURE.—The seed requires a strong heat to germinate. Sow in a 
hotbed early in. spring, when the plants are 2 inches high transplant. 
Plant out when the weather becomes settled and warm. Give them a 
deep, rich soil; full exposure to the sun. When they germinate they are 
sensitive to damp and being chilled, consequently the amateur often fails 
to raise them. : 

Black Beauty. This beautiful Ege Plant is 10 days earlier than New 
York Improved. The fruits are broad and thick, of most attractive 
form, as shown in the illustration. The skin is a rich, lustrous, 
purplish black. This intensely brilliant coloring is uniform over 
the whole fruit and does not fade or change to a lighter color at 
the blossom end. ‘The calyx, which attaches the fruit to the stem, 
is bright green, contrasting finely with the dark satin skin of the 
fruit, which is entirely free from spines or thorns. The fruits set 
most freely and are ready for market early, so that the entire crop 
can be gathered before there is any danger of frost. Our strain .of 
seed is of superior quality, as we produced fruits this season that 
eclipsed all other varieties. 40c oz.; $1.25 % Ilb............ .5e pkt.

One ounce will plant about 50 hills; 2 to 3 lbs. in hills per acre. 


In selecting a patch for melons, be careful to have it at a safe dis- 
tance from your Squashes, Cucumbers, Pumpkins, etc., or they will 
certainly mix. In preparing the hills fork in plenty of manure and 
about the middle of May, when the ground is warm, plant in 
each hill eight or ten seeds, and cover half an inch deep. After 
the danger from bugs is over, pull all but three or four of 
the strongest plants. AS soon as the vines have run suf- 
ficiently and spread their branches, stop them by pinching 
the top off the first running bud. This will strengthen the 
plants and promote their perfecting fruit early. The ground 
should be kept free from weeds and frequently cultivated. 
A few hills for early use may be had by sowing on pieces 
of sod in a hotbed, and when warm enough transplant to 
open ground. Melon vines are subject to the same de- 
structive insect and fungous foes as are cucumber and 
Squash vines. WHarly and repeated spraying with Bordeaux 
Arsenate of Lead Mixture is always advisable for these 
Crops.

MUSHROOM SPAWN. 


Mushrooms can be successfully and profitably grown during the winter and spring months in frames 
under greenhouse benches, in the open fields, or in cellars or outhouses. To cultivate mushrooms suc- 
cessfully does not always require extensive experience. Some care is necessary, however, in the selection 
of materials, and in forming the beds; but the matter of securing and maintaining the proper tempera- 
ture in the room and in the beds needs close attention, for success depends very much upon this point. 
Mushrooms may be grown in a great variety of situations—a dark room, cellar, stable or elsewhere. 


five inches of straw or other litter. Watering is not 
necessary, unless the surface of the bed gets very 
dry; in this event moisten freely with water at a 
temperature of about 90 degrees. In gathering the 
crop, do not cut, but twist them off carefully, filling 
up the holes carefully with loam to keep insects 
from the roots. In six or eight weeks from spawn- 
ing the’ beds mushrooms should appear. 


We supply many of the largest commercial grow- 
ers in the United States and have on hand at all 
times in the season fresh spawn of the best manu- 
facture. 


One pound of Spawn is sufficient for a bed 2 x 6 
feet. Postage must be added if wanted by mail; see 
postal rates, second page of cover. 


How to Grow Mushrooms—A booklet of 14 
pages with full and complete instructions to 
grow Mushrooms successfully, will be mailed 
on receipt of 10c, or free with an order for 


$1.00 worth of Spawn when requested.

coner. 169 pages. Cloth, Price, $1.00. 


Any place in which an even tem- 
perature of about 50 to 60 de- 
grees can be kept is suitable. 
For material for the bed, use 
fresh horse manure free from 
straw or chips, and good loamy 
soil. Some growers use the man- 
ure mixed with loam, after first 
having well fermented it by al- 
ternately piling it and mixing 
for a few weeks, but it is un- 
doubtedly better not to allow th 
manure to heat much _ before 
forming a bed. Use one-fourth 
to one-third loam the rest man- 
ure. Mix very thoroughly and 
upon a dry firm bottom make the 
bed of this mixture, about four 
feet wide and of any desired 
length. Build it up evenly, press 
it down firmly, and leave it akcut 


thrust into the bed and note the 
temperature. When the heat has 
partially subsided, leaving a tem- 
perature of 80 degrees put in the 
spawn. Pieces from the size of 
walnuts to that of eggs are placed 
in the bed about a foot apart, 
deep enough to cover them well, 
and the manure pressed down. 
Let it remain thus ten or twelve 
days, then cover with two inches 
of fresh loam, and make this 
moderately firm. The »ed is fin- 
ished by covering all with four or

GARDEN PEAS. 


One Quart Will Plant About 100 Feet of Drill. 
and One-Half to Two Bushels for an Acre. 


CULTURE.—Peas succeed best in light, dry, loamy 
soil. Harly and Dwarf sorts require richer soil than 
the late varieties. If manure is used, let it be old and 
well rotted, or there will be a rank growth of vines 
with few pods. Sow the early, smooth, round sorts 
as early in spring as the ground can be worked. Seeds 
of wrinkled varieties are more liable to rot if the 
ground is cold, and must be planted later. From the 
first Sowing, sow every two weeks until June for a 
succession. After that there is danger of mildew. 
Discontinue then until August, when a planting of 
extra early or early sorts will often produce a good 
erop. Sow the seed in Single drills, three feet apart 
for dwarf sorts and four for tall sorts, or in double 
drills six or eight inches apart, one inch apart in the 
drill, and not less than four inches deep, since deep 
planting prevents mildew and prolongs the season. 
Cultivate well, and draw the earth twice to the vines 
during growth. Stake the tall varieties when they be- 
gin to vine. Pick the pods as soon as fit, and allow 
none to ripen on the vines, as they will then cease 
bearing. All kinds of Peas do best when supported 
with brush or wire.

pecially fits it for shipping long distances. For 
a late fall crop it’ has few equals, and is the 
market gardener’s favorite for all seasons. The 


far northern point at which our Peas are grown 
renders them almost proof against cold, and the 
best for early spring or late fall crop. Thou-

PARSNIP ° (Pastinake, Ger.) 


One Ounce for 200 Feet of Drill; 5 to 6 Pounds for an Acre. 


Sow seed early in spring, in deep, rich soil in drills. Secat- 
ter the seeds thinly and cover evenly with the rake. After 
the appearance of the plant the soil must be stirred fre- 
quently until the leaves cover the ground. The seed is slow 
to germinate, and is frequently a long time in coming up; 
will vegetate sooner by steeping 6 to 12 hours in a liquid ma- 
nure, diluted with water, and mixed with sand before sow- 
ing. When well up thin out to 5 or 6 inches apart in the 
rows. Unlike Carrots, they are improved by frost, and it 
is usual to take up in fall a certain quantity for wanter uSe, 
leaving the rest in the ground until spring, to be dug as 
7 required.

CULTURE.—For spring and summer 

use, sow either broadcast or in drills 
as early as the ground can be worked. 
The fall sowing is the main one with 
our market gardeners, which is done . 
from August to October, and by care- 
ful attention they have it in market- 
able condition throughout the entire 
winter and spring. If the land is dry 
the seed should always be rolled or 
trampled in, for if the soil is loose the 
hot air shrivels the seed, so that it 
will not germinate.

: with the soil for each hill. For the bush varieties, from 38 to 4 
feet each way, and for the running sorts from 6 to 8 feet. Eight 
or ten seeds should be sown in each hill, thinning out after 
they have attained their rough leaves, leaving 38 or 4 of the 
strongest plants, after which cultivate same as Cucumbers.

TOMATO (Liebesapfel, Ger.) 


One Ounce of Seed Will Produce about 2,000 Plants; 1%, Pound to the Acre. 


CULTURE.—Sow in a hotbed, green-house or window in a sitting room, where night temperature 
is not less than sixty degrees, about the first week in March, in drills five inches apart and half an inch 
Geep. When the plants are about two inches-high they should be set out in boxes three inches deep, four 
or five inches apart; in Same temperature, or removed into small pots, allowing a single plant to a pot. 
They are sometimes transplanted a second time into larger pots, by which process the plants are ren- 
dered more sturdy and branching. About the middle of May, the plants may be set in the open ground. 
They are planted for early crops on light, sandy soil, at a distance of three feet apart, in hills in whicn 
a good shovelful of rotted manure has been mixed. On heavy soils, which are not suited for an early crop, 
they should be planted four feet apart. Water freely at the time of transplanting and shelter from the 
sun a few days until the plants are established. For late use, sow in a sheltered border in May, and set 
out the plants in July; the green fruit can be picked off before frost, and ripened under glass. By train- 
ing the tomato vines or trellises or tying to stakes, they will increase in productiveness, the fruit will 
ripen better, and be of finer quality. j

by mail, at prices quoted.

McCULLOUGH’S “SUBURBAN” LAWN GRASS SEED. (7r22e,M2! 


Registered. 


S a mixture of the finest Dwarf Evergreen Grasses that srow and flourish during different months 

of the year so that a rich, deep, green, velvety lawn is constantly maintained. Our mixture is the 

result of several years experimenting, and, as we now offer it, is unequaled. The quantity required 
for making a new lawn is four bushels (64 lbs.) per acre, or for renovating old lawns, two. bushels (32 
Ibs.) per acre. For a plot 15x20, or 300 square feet, one pound is required for a new lawn, or about 
one-half pound for renovating. 

A lawn. seed mixture is very much to be preferred to any single grass; if it is honestly made, the 
several varieties. of grass which compose it, mature at- different seasons of the year, thus keeping the 
green Sward in good color and condition during the hot weather, not losing its color, as the single 
variety is liable to do. : 


in Pu yy Ib., 15c; 1 1b., 25c; 5 Ibs., $1.00; 8 Ibs., $1.50; 1 bu. of 16 lbs., $3.00. By mail 10c per 
« extra. 


How to Make a Lawn.—A fine lawn is an unfailing mark of intelligence and taste, to obtain which 
the main point is to start right. Seed will make a better lawn than turf or sod. The best soil is a 
good medium texture; the surface should be thoroughly pulverized and smoothed to the desired grade; 
remove all large stones,. roots and-hardened pieces. of earth that can not be readily broken; ample 
time being allowed for the thorough settling of the soil, which is greatly aided by a few heavy showers 
of rain. When the soil is firm, level and suitably moist, sow “Suburban” Lawn Grass Seed at the rate 
of four bushels (64 lbs.) per acre. It is unwise to be too economical in the quantity of seed used, if 
the best results are desired. The seed should be sown broadcast and as evenly as possible, then give 
a_ thorough rolling or pat well with the back of a spade. The seed must be well firmed in the soil. 
When the young grass attains a height of 4 or 5 inches, carefully mow with a sharp scythe. After 
this, according to the season, it should be mown with a‘lawn mower every week or ten days. 


General Surface Renovating.—When your lawn has already been established, you will find it to your 
advantage to lightly re-seed each season. As early as possible, carefully rake off all dead leaves, etc., 
and give the lawn a dressing of our pulverized EL PASO SHEEP MANURE, or our PURE BONE 
MEAL at the rate of at least 500 pounds per acre, and rake in, after which sow our “Suburban” Lawn 
Grass Seed at the rate of two bushels (32 Ibs.) to the acre; roll thoroughly or pat with the back of a 
spade. : z 

Renovating in Spots or Patches.—Everyone is aware that even in the best-kept lawns unsightly spots 
devoid of grass will appear, which are caused by root-destroying insects; and as these spots are not 
protected by a covering of turf during the winter, as a natural consequence the chemical elements 
in the soil are leached out by the action of the weather, causing these spots to ‘cake’ or become hard 
early in the spring. It is useless and a waste of seed to sow these spots unless they are carefully pre- 
pared to receive the seed. For this purpose it is our practice to cover these spots with either of the fer- 
tilizers mentioned above at the rate of 13 lbs. for each 300 square feet, then dig these spots up, and 
after raking until no trace of the fertilizers can be seen, sow our “Suburban” Lawn Grass Seed at the 
rate of 1 lb. to each 300 square feet. Roll thoroughly or pat with the back of a spade. 


How to Weed a Lawn.—Many persons suppose that whenever they pull a weed out of their lawn, 
that they have accomplished all that is necessary. Our practice for years has been to always have a 
supply of our “Suburban” Lawn Grass Seed at hand, and whenever any weeding is done on the lawn to 
immediately drop a few grains of seed wherever a weed is removed, and while the soil is. disturbed to 
pat (or rather coax) the seed into the soil. In a season or two your efforts will be repaid by having 
a beautiful lawn, entirely free from weeds, 


McCULLOUGH’S “EL PASO” SHEEP MANURE IS THE BEST FERTILIZER FOR LAWNS. (See Fer- 
tilizers.)

BEING VERY FAMILIAR TO THE PRINCIPAL SEED DEALERS OF THE WORLD. 


While we expect to adhere closely to prices quoted in this list, owing to market fluctuations, it is 
impossible to guarantee prices, but all orders will be filled at lowest market price on day of receipt. 


We have four or five different grades of Grass Seed, especially of the kinds most in demand, such as

SHADY PLACE MIXTURE. On nearly all lawns 


there are shaded, bare and unsightly spots on 
which the owners have difficulty in getting a 
stand of grass; for such places this mixture 
is adapted. It is composed of dwarf-growing 
grasses which are found naturally growing in 
such places. Should the ground have become 
“sour” or drainage defective, it is apt to be 
covered with moss. Jf such is the case, ap- 
ply some lime or land plaster to sweeten it, 
but the moss should first be removed by the 
use of a Sharp rake, then sow the seed at the 
rate of four bushels (64 Ilbs.) per acre.

we oifer below is composed of such varieties 
as will thrive here, and are the result of ex- 
periments conducted on our grounds, as well 
as careful watching for several years of the 
practical results obtained on the golf links. We 
have always on hand all the natural grasses 
of Europe and America, and we are familiar 
with the habits and merits of each. We

requirements of the links may be; for poor

It has given thorough satisfaction wherever 
used, and produces a thick, tough, beautiful

MIXED GRASSES FOR MEADOWS AND PASTURES. 


After years of experimenting we have aided largely in establishing the fact that a thicker and 
more prolonged growth is produced by a mixture of several varieties than when only one or two are 
used. There are always certain grasses that are especially adapted to certain kinds of soils, and these 
are so carefully combined in our mixtures that in our Mixture for Permanent Pastures grasses will be 
found that mature at intervals during the season, thereby insuring continuous pasturage, while our 
Mixture for Permanent Meadow will furnish excellent hay as well as late pasturage. 

We are prepared to furnish Seeds adapted to all soils and all situations, and for all purposes, com- 
posed of grasses for light, medium or heavy soils; by light soils we mean that which is more or less 
of a sandy or gravelly nature; the heavy clay and heavy loams; while the medium is an intermediate 
between these two. A light, wet soil, with respect to the grasses suited to it, may be considered same 
as to the heavy soils, and a dry, heavy soil, more as to light soils.

ground, and soon forms a compact sward. After being cut it grows up in 
a very short time, and remains bright and green throughout the season, 
consequently is well adapted for lawn mixtures. Valuable for shady places.

commend it as one of the very best pasture Grasses. Sow 35 lbs. to the 
acre. Weight, 14 lbs. to the bushel.

called English Blue Grass.) Highly valuable 
for permanent grass land. Does not, however,

Grasses it is valuable on account of its vernal 
srowth, and also for continuing to throw up

chief merit is its fragrant odor, which the 
leaves emit when partially dry, thus sweet- 
ening hay. Sow 3 to 5 lbs. per acre with

> A forage plant of highest value. It can. be 
sown in April for an- early crop, and for fall 
crop in July, August and September, and still 
later further South. In a few weeks from the 
time of sowing, sheep, hogs or cattle can be 
turned on it. Under favorable conditions Rape 
is ready for pasturing sheep or cattle within 
six weeks from time of sowing, and on an ave- 
rage one acre will carry 12 to’ 15 sheep six weeks 
to two months. When on the Rape they should 
at all times have access to salt. Pigs and cattle 
are also very fond of it. The plant is a rank

ASTERS. 


STERS are one of the most important summer and 
A autumn flowers, and receive special care at our hands. 

Our list comprises only such sorts as can be planted 
with perfect confidence that nothing better is procurable, 
¥no matter at what price or from what source. 


The early sorts begin blooming in July, followed by the 
acho ae Aya Miid-season kinds, which flower during August; then the 
SAT IS) IEE LLANE late-flowering varieties, which are at their best through 

> FAS SEAN (Tr PU wey September. It is quite easy. therefore, with a little care 
1 in the selection of the varieties, to have Asters in flower 
from the first days in July until hard frost. 


Asters will thrive in any gocd soil, prepared in the same 
Way as you would for a crop of vegetables, but it is 
well to remember that any extra care taken in the prepa- 
ration of the soil is repaid by finer plants, larger blooms, 
with longer stems and more profuse flowering. They 
should have an open, sunny position, and prefer-a good, 
heavy, loamy soil, enriched with a liberal quantity of 
thoroughly rotted manure, and the addition of wood ashes 
or air-slaked lime, and we do not advise growing them

-~<—" NASTURTIUMS 


For ease of culture, duration of bloom, brilliancy of coloring and general excellence, nothing excels 
Nasturtiums. All they need is a moderately good soil in a well-drained, sunny position, and from within 
a few weeks from the time they are sown until hard frost comes there is an endless profusion of their 
gorgeous blossoms. The varieties offered below were selected, after exhaustive trials, from a very large 
number of sorts as being the best and almost distinct: 


TALL, or CLIMBING VARIETIES. Elegant and luxuriant climbers for verandas, trellises, etc. May be

: PANSY. 


(The Favorite Flower.) 

Pansies are the most popular 
of all flowering plants and are 
srown over the widest extent of 
country. They bloom most freely 
and produce largest flowers in 
cool, moist locations, or during 
early spring and late fall months. 
They fiower profusely, however, 
even during the summer, from 
seed sown in open ground early 
in spring. 

Pansy seed has been always a 
leading specialty with us, and 
we offer not only the largest and 
finest collection, but most care- 
fully selected strains of each va- 
riety. 

Seed germinates best while soil 
is still cool and moist. We would 
advise sowing in shallow drills 
in seed-bed early in spring when 
the. trees’* are —“startins. owt in 
leaf, and again in September 
when the weather becomes cool. 
As above stated, plants from the 
spring-sown seed flower with 
great freedom throughout spring, 
summer and fall, while the stocky 
young plants grown in fall and 
Winter produce the largest and 
finest flowers early the following 
spring. 

The finest Pansies are, as a 
rule, shy seeders, which accounts 
for the difference in the price of 
z the various mixtures offered.

PHLOX DRUMMONDIL. 


The annual Phioxes are dazzling in effect, particularly so wnen sown 
in masses or ribbon beds of contrasting colors. Few flowers are so easy 
to grow from seed, so pretty and compact in habit, so quick to bloom, 
or give such a brilliant display of color for so little cost and care. For 
pot culture, and as an undergrowth for tall, bare-stemmed plants they 
are also valuable. The first sowing should be made as soon as the 
frost is out of the ground in spring, later ones in May, either where the 
plants are to bloom, or in a seed-bed, as the Phlox transplants readily. 
In transplanting, set the taller kinds about a foot apart. Cutting away 
the flowers makes the plants more bushy and compact, and lengthens 
their blooming time. a

HINTS ON THE CULTURE OF FLOWERS FROM SEED. 


_Much annoyance and disappointment may be saved by 
giving close attention to the following: Avoid especially 
deep planting, over-watering, under-watering or sowing too 
thickly. : 


THE J. M. McCULLOUGH’S SONS CO., CINCINNATT, O. 49 


POPPIES. Tus : 


Annual Poppies should be sown as early in the spring [f 


as possible where they are to remain, as they do not 
stand transplanting. Sow very thinly, preferably in 
cloudy weather or after a shower, barely cover the seed, 
press down firmly, and they will come up in a few days. 
If they come up too thickly, they must be thinned out 
to stand 3 to 4 inches or more apart if you wish best 
results. It is well to make several sowings at intervals 
to keep up a succession of bloom. If picked just before 
expanding the flowers will last several days. It is also 
advisable to pick the old flowers as soon as fallen, which 
will lengthen the blooming season quite a while. 

SINGLE ANNUAL POPPIES.

PETUNIA. 


For outdoor decoration or house culture few plants 
equal the Petunia in effectiveness. They commence flow- 
ering early and continue a sheet of bloom throughout the 
whole. season until killed by frost; easily cultivated, only 
requiring a good soil and sunny position. There are two 
distinct kinds of Single Petunias—the Grandiflora sorts, 
with large flowers, and the small flowered section, which 
gives abundance of bloom. 

NOTH.—It is well known that seed saved from the 
most carefully hybridized flowers produces but a small 
percentage of double flowers, the balance being singles of 
unuSually fine quality. The weaker seedlings should be 
earefully saved, as these invariably produce the finest 
double flowers. The same is true of the single sorts, 
the large, strong seedlings usually being weedy, while the 
weaker seedlings produce the finest flowers of best color- 
ings. It is best to sow Petunias indoors and transplant 
to the open in May. The Single Bedding kinds can be 
sown right out of doors in May.

The Scarlet Sage has long been a favorite bedding plant, 
also grown for conservatory decoration, bearing long spikes of 
flowers in -great profusion from July till frost; half-hardy 
perennials, blooming the first year from seed, which should be 
sown as early as possible, either indoors or in a hotbed, and 
the young plants transferred to their flowering quarters when 
the weather has become settled and warm. May also be sown 
in the open ground in May.

This is one of the airiest and daintiest flowers imaginable, especially 
adapted to bordering beds of taller flowers and-those of a heavier

weeks from sowing. The florescence is such as to completely obscure 
the foliage, making the plants a veritable pyramid of the most delicate 
and charming bloom. If a continuous show of bloom is desired, it will 
be well to make sowings of seed in a sheltered bed and transplant into 
the borders as required. The Schizanthus make admirable pot plants 
for the house, and are charming for window boxes in winter. For this 
purpose sow in the autumn.

WILD FLOWER GARDEN MIXTURE. 


These mixed fiower seéds embrace varieties of such easy-growing and pretty flowers as are suitable 
for forming a wild flower garden. They are very useful for woodland walks, roadsides, railroad em- 
bankments, and for sowing alongside of fences and on untidy bare spots of ground which are so fre- 
quently unsightly, and which, if properly cared for and kept. free from weeds, can be made to produce 
a continual display of bloom during the summer. See page 55. :

SWEET PEAS. ane Se 


Flowering Peas are among the most useful and beautiful 
of all our hardy annuals. Every year our list is carefully 
revised, with a view to keeping it Strictly up to date. 


How to Grow Sweet Peas. 


The principal essential for the best success is a cool, deep, 
moist soil, and a sunny situation. The ground should be pre- 
pared deep and rich. Fall preparation, where possible, is pre- 
ferable, but if done in the spring, use no green manure. Bone 
meal is good if old rotted manure can not be obtained. Sow 
early, even before the frost is out of the ground, as Sweet 
Peas need the cold, moist spring ground to.make the root 
growth. In the latitude of Cinginnati, February is not too 
early. In the South, sow in the fall. Sow the seed in deep 
furrows, the bottom of which must be at least 6 inches below 
the level of the soil; this is to guard against a summer 
drought. Cover the seeds only one inch, after which the fur- 
row is still five inches deep. When the plants are 2 or 8 
inches high thin out to 2 inches apart and fill in another inch 
or so of soil around the plants, always leaving a portion of the 
plant above the surface; do this at intervals until the furrow 
is nearly full; it should always remain a little hollow, to hold 
the rains, and to allow water to be applied by the bucketful 
when necessary. 

During dry weather they should be watered thoroughly and 
frequently and given an application of liquid manure once a 
week. A mulch of hay or rakings from the lawn will be found 
beneficial during hot weather. The flowers should be cut as 
often as possible, and all withered blooms should be removed, 
to prevent the plants from running to seed, which would stop 
them from continuing in bloom.

TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS. 


Few plants are better adapted to the summer decoration of the 
window garden, the veranda, and the conservatory, than the Tuberous 
Begonia. It is a constant and prolific bloomer when well grown, 
wonderfully rich and varied in coloring, and so easy to grow that 
all persons ought to succeed with it after familiarizing themselves 
with its habits and requirements. 

They are now used extensively for outdoor planting. Give them a 
partially shaded position in a light soil and well drained position, and 
they will give more bloom than any other plant which will grow in 
such a place. 

A soil that will grow it to perfection is turfy matter scaped from Wns 
the bottom of old sod—one part, and one part sand. Mix these well “WJ 
together and you have a compost that is friable, porous, and well « 
adapted to any plants having fine, fibrous roots. It is more 
satisfactory to apply plant-food when needed, and in such 
quantities as seem to be required, than to make the soil very 
rich from the start. 

When the tubers of these Begonias are procured, spread 
them out on pans of moss, which should be kept moist and 
warm. Here they should be left until Sprouts appear. It is 
not necessary to sprout your tubers in this manner if you 
ean tell which is top or bottom of them, but frequently 
they look so much alike on both sides that you can not be 
sure which is which until sprouts appear, and it will not 
do to plant them wrong side up. Give each tuber a five- 
inch pot, if grown Singly, or use three tubers to a seven- 
inch pot. Settle the tuber down into the soil to the depth 
of an inch. Water very cautiously until active growth be- 
gins, then increase the amount. But at no time during its 
existence will the plant require more than enough to make 
—and keep—the soil moist all through. Good drainage 
should be provided to guard against the dangers of over- 
watering. :

58 : THE J. M. McCULLOUGH’S SONS C©O., CINCINNATI, 0. 
DAHLIAS. 


The Dahlia is one of the most important summer and 
autumn flowers. Commencing to flower. in July, they are 
a perfect blaze of bloom until stopped by frost. Espe- 
cially fine for cut flowers. 


A FEW CULTURAL NOTES. 


One of the most important points in the cultivation of 
the Dahlia is to select a well-drained position where they 
will receive the full benefit of the sun during the greater 
part of the day. 
~ As to soil, they are not at all particular, except that in 
%% the case of a stiff clay some loose material should be 
fadded, such as coarse sand, old mortar, or anything which 
gy will make the soil loose and friable. The soil must be 
deeply dug, if possible to a depth of two spades, and a 
liberal amount of suitable plant food incorporated. For 
this nothing is more satisfactory than well-decayed stable 
manure; but where this can not be conveniently procured 
pure bonemeal, Sheep manure, or any chemical fertilizer 
rich in ammonia and phosphoric acid will answer as a 
substitute. 

The planting of dormant roots in the latitude of Cin- 
cinnati may be done‘at any time between April 25th and 
June 15th, the earlier planting being preferable. Plant 
the bulbs three inches below the surface of the ground, 
laying the bulb on its side. Do not crowd your plants, but 
plant at a distance of not less than 2% or 3 feet, and, 
as soon as the shoots appear, remove all but two or three 
of the strongest, and these, when about a foot high, should 
be secured to-stout stakes. 

Keep free from grass and weeds and water regularly 
in dry weather.

GLADIOLUS. 


The most attractive of all surnmer-flowering bulbs are 
the Gladioli. Wonderful improvements are being made each 
year in the size, color and beauty of these flowers, and our 
list comprises only the best, both in mixtures and in named 
sorts. : 

For best results they should have a sunny position. A 
light, sandy loam suits them best, but they do equally as 
well in heavy soil provided there is perfect drainage. Well- 
rotted stable manure is the very best fertilizer, and where 
convenient it should be spread over the land in the fall, 
and dug in the following spring. Sheep manure is an excel- 
lent substitute, and can be applied in the spring. The best 
time to plant is about the first of May, putting in the 
smallest bulbs first, and reserving the larger bulbs for later 
planting. A succession of bloom may be had from July to 
October by making plantings two weeks apart up to the end 
of June. To make a good show they should be planted 
from three to four inches apart each way. The depth to 
plant is regulated by the size of the bulb, large bulbs 
being covered about six inches deep, Smaller ones from 
three or four inches. 

After they have flowered and the foliage begins to turn 
yellow, which is usually along about the beginning of Octo- 
ber, lift the bulbs, cutting off the stems, placing them in 
trays or sheves in an airy cellar or Some sucly place, where 
the temperature will not fall below 45 degrees, or over 60 
degrees. In such a position they will keep perfectly until 
time for resetting the following season. 

They are very effective when planted among Roses, 
Paeonies, Shrubbery, ete. 

In cutting Gladioli for the house, it is best to cut the 
spikes aS soon as- the frst one or two lower flowers are 
open. The remainder will open in the house. Remove the 
faded flowers, cut a little off the stem, and change the 
water every day; treated in this way, a spike will last a 
week or ten days.

LILIES. 


No class of plants can lay so much claim to our atten- 
tion as the Lilies. They are stately, elegant and beauti- 
ful, and possess the most agreeable perfume, and for 
general effect, whether growing in garden or house, they 
have no rivals. The soil should be rich, deep and mellow 
with good drainage, as nothing will injure the bulbs 
more than water collecting and standing around them 
Do not put manure around the bulbs when setting, as 
it collectS moisture and insects, and often causes the 
bulbs to decay. Top dressing is the better way to enrich 
the soil after the bulbs are set. The beds should be 
well covered with leaves and straw manure to exclude 
the frost. Set bulbs four to six inches deep, according 
to their size. 


Auratum. (Golden Japan Lily.) This superb Lily has 
flowers 8 to 10 inches in diameter composed of six 
white petals, thickly studded with rich chocolate-

EVERBLOOMING HYBRID-TEA ROSES. 


This collection of Roses embraces the most popular of the Hybrid-Tea type, several of them, varieties 
with which every lover of Roses is familiar, and all vf them thoroughly tested sorts which have been 
found most satisfactory for outdoor planting. 

They combine, in a large degree, the hardiness of the Hybrid Perpetual class with the free-flowering 
qualities of the Tea Roses, and withstand the winter with little or no protection. 

We especially recommend. this collection of Roses to those who wish a supply of extra choice 
flowers for cutting throughout the summer and fall months. 

All Roses thrive best when well watered, sprayed with Hellebore and Bordeaux Mixture for insects and 
fungus, and fed either by applications of manure water, or Bonemeal at the rate of two pounds per 
square yard. The Hybrid Perpetuals are particularly susceptible to such treatment and respond quickly. 

Pot grown roses should not be planted out of doors until all danger of frost is past.

HARDY HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 


Among all the hardy plants few are so commonly well liked or more valuable than the roses. particu- 
larly the “June Roses” as the Hybrid Perpetuals are called. They are strong growers. bearing large 
globular flowers and are so hardy that they succeed in any locality. The severest winters will not kil? 
them but it is generally conceded that protection is beneficial when the straw, manure. cornstalks or 
other covering is not so thick as to be unnatural and smother them. E

These are the regal representatives of this, popular genus, far surpassing in splendor of bloom all the 
annual and biennial kinds, and for a gorgeous display of rich and brilliant coloring nothing equals 
them during their period of flowering in May and June, and whether planted singly or in masses their 
large flowers and freedom of bloom render them conspicuous in any position. After flowering the 
plants die back, usually reappearing along in early September, or_as soon as the weather gets cool. Dur- 
ing this resting period care should be taken in cultivating the beds that the roots are not disturbed, any 
disturbance at this time usually resulting in failure. We offer the following distinct varieties:

ORNAMENTAL FLOWERING SHRUBS 


Shrubs are aS much a part of the garden as the lawn or flower borders, and a well arranged planting 
presents an attractive appearance throughout the entire year. 

Shrubs have many uses. As a background to a flower border, for hiding an unsightly building, fence 
or foundation, or they may be planted in a mixed shrubbery border, in which case those of short, dense 
growth should be planted along the front of the border, graduating to the tall-growing kinds at the back. 


Thorough preparation of the soil by spading, and the addition of a liberal quantity of sheep or stable 
manure or bone meal will be well repaid by strong, vigorous, healthy growth. In planting, care should 
be taken not to overcrowd, allowing sufficient room for future development, and unless an immediate 
effect is wanted—in which case they may be planted closer and some of them moved when necessary. The 
majority of the dwarf-growing kinds may be set about three feet apart, the tall, strong growers 
about five feet apart. 

Our Shrubs are transplanted every two or three years and are furnished with plenty of fibrous roots 
and should not be compared to stock that is never moved from the cutting beds until sold 

We can furnish Extra Strong Specimen Plants of most all sorts at $1.00 to $5.00 each.

STRAWBERRIES. 


The blossoms of those marked with (P) are desti- 
tute of stamens and are termed pistillate, and un- 
less a row of perfect flowering variety is planted

produce imperfect fruit and but little of it; but 
when properly fertilized as a rule they are more 
prolific than those with perfect flowers. 

Dip the plants in water as soon as received, and 
bury the roots in moist, shady ground till you are 
ready to set them out. Neglect for an hour or so is 
often fatal.

burned.) 


(After harvesting, 
mow and burn over 
the bed, if leaf rollers 
are found.) 


Spray repeatedly and you will be sure to appreciate the result when 


you gather the crop. 


Don’t wait until the fungi have attacked plant or tree; the fun- 
gicides are merely preventives, and should be used early in the 
spring. After the disease has developed, it may be too late to save 


the tree. 


Don’t spray on the top of the leaves only; spray the under sides 
where the pests hide, and be particular to keep your fluid thor- 


oughly agitated.

SPRAYING PUMPS AND APPLIANCES 


Spraying is of such importance that the Experiment Stations all over this country have given much 
of their attention to it, and their findings have been of incalculable value. Diseases and insects can no 
longer exist if the proper insecticide is applied through the medium of an up-to-date spray apparatus. 


PARAGON SPRAYERS 


These Sprayers are strongly constructed and can be easily operated by one man. 

They can be brought in close proximity to the work, thereby eliminating the use of a long expen- 
sive hose. Our patented self cleaning strainer prevents the necessity of first straining the liquid to 
be sprayed. The agitator also keeps ‘the liquid thoroughly stirred. 

The spray nozzle has only a 1-32-inch outlet and spreads the liquid well, 
surface with a small aaiodne: of liquid, making it a very economical sprayer. 

All parts of the machine are made of the best material obtainable. The reservoir is made of heavy 
galvanized iron. All essential fittings and valves are made of brass, making it strong and durable. The 
body of pump is cast iron, well ribbed to prevent breakage. The screen is of heavy perforated brass and 
will last many years. 

The pump frame can easily be removed from tank when it needs cleaning and by 
through machine after using, the entire machinery can be easily and thoroughly cleaned. 

Suitable for spraying insecticides and fungicides on trees, shrubs and vines, aS well as the applica- 
tion of whitewash and cold water paints.

THE BRANDT SPRAYER 


It holds three gallons. The pressure is maintained uniform 
at all times by an occasional stroke of the pump. This also 
keeps the spray uniform and distributes it in a finely beaded 
solid cone of mist. 

The pump is carried in the hands in a convenient position for operation and for 
directing the spray on to the plants or vines. It is connected to the tank by two rub- 
ber tubes, one of which carries the air to the tank, the other delivers the liquid to 
the nozzle where it is mixed with air from the air reservoir on pump and made into 
a finely beaded mist and delivered on the plants.

COLDWELL’S DEMOUNTABLE CUTTER 
UNIT MOWER 


It has many unique and patented features which will appeal strongly 
to the professional Golfer, the Green Committee and all those interested 
in exceedingly fine and close cut lawns. 


This CUTTER UNIT consists of the Revolving Cutter, the bottom or 
Stationary Knife and the parts necessary for adjusting the same to each 
other. It is set in the main frame of the mower and held in position 
by three thumb screws. It can be attached or removed in less than a 
minute. This cutter unit being separate and independent is not affected 
by any twisting or straining to which the main frame may be subjected 
in passing over rough and uneven ground. 


16-inch, $25.00; 18-inch, $30.00, including an extra cutting unit. 


COLDWELL’S REGAL BALL-BEARING 


The drive wheels of Coldwell’s Regal mower are locked fast to the oppo- 
site ends of a steel shaft, which is supported near its ends by ball bear- 
ings. The ball bearings are fitted with adjustable cones, by means of 
which the wheels can always be made to run true, no matter how much 
the machine iS worn. | 

The ratchets of Coldwell’s Regal Mowers consist of three large malleable 
iron pawls located in each of the two drive gears. These are the largest 
and slowest moving gears in the machine, thus providing ample room for 
a 5 a ratchet. (These pawls are guaranteed indestructible through 
wear. 

The stationery knife of Coldwell’s Regal mower is channel shape, being 
double edged and reversible, which not only prevents itS Springing or sag- 
ing, but also provides it with two cutting edges. When one edge is worn 
down, it can be reversed, Another important feature of this channel 
§ Shaped knife over the ordinary flat knife is that there is no flat surface 
i presented to the revolving cutter for iG to wear a long dragging surface in. 


16 in., $8.50; 18 in., $9.50; 20 in., $10.50.

Coldwell’s Demountable Cutter Unit 
Horse Lawn Mower 


The Demountable Cutter Unit Horse Mower is 
constructed upon an entirely new principle and is a 
wide departure from anything of the kind ever 
made. The cutter section, which is the vital part 
of a lawn mower, iS made into a unit and is inde- 
pendent and removable from the main frame of the 
mower. This unit consists of a simple frame con- 
taining the revolving cutter, the bottom or station- 
ary knife and parts necessary for adjusting the 
same to each other. It is attached to the main 
frame of the mower by four locking screws and 
can be attached or removed in less than a minute. 
It being separate and independent of the main or 
larger frame, it relieves the knives from the twist- 
ing and strain that usually occurs in the frame of 
the ordinary horse mower when in use on rough 
ground. 


This unit, being the cutter section of the mower, 


is the only part necessary to send in to the factory 
for Sharpening or adjusting. The great conveni- 
ence in handling and the saving in freight and 
eartage charges between. shipping an entire mower 
and the unit only, will be fully appreciated by all 
users of horse mowers. 30 in., $100.00; 35 in, 
$125.00, including an extra cutting unit.

This mower is made to meet the demand for a 
machine that will more perfectly cut borders, 
verges, ete., and yet retain all the other_ features 
necessary in a mower for general work. Coldwell’s 
Roller Mower has brass bushings and triple pawl 
ratchets. The roller tends to make a smooth and 
even soil, and rolls down upheavals caused by 
dampness and worms. The machine with six blades

LAWN MOWER 


This well known standard Mower has side draft 
attachments, to enable the horse to walk on the cut 
grass.only, and caster rollers, which will not mark 
the lawn. Evenness of cut is assured by an ad- 
justment which raises or lowers the two Sides at 
the same time by means of a Simple lever move- 
ment; the same lever serves the purpose of raising 
the knives from the ground when driving over 
gravel walks or roads. The mowers are fitted up 
with steel shafting and composition split bushings 
and great care is taken to have the workmanship 
perfect.

DOUBLE WHEEL HOE 
*  CULTIVATOR AND 
PLOW. 


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


The No. 12 has one pair of 6-inch hoes, one pair of plows for 
Opening or covering, and a set of 4 all steel cultivator teeth, and 
one pair of leaf lifters. The tools shown are what gardeners use 
most, and others can be added as wanted........... Price, $6.50 


No. 11 Double Wheel Hoe. Has one pair of 6-inch hoes, one 
pair 414-inch hoes, two pairs hollow steel cultivator teeth, one 
pair plows, two 3-tooth rakes, two 5 tooth rakes and two leaf

PLANET JR. No. 14 
DOUBLE WHEEL DISC 
HOE, CULTIVATOR 
AND PLOW. 


This new tool will give excellent satisfaction There are 
three discs, oil tempered, which may all be used at once or two 
on a side, as preferred. With the leaf lifters the work can be done 
without danger of cutting off the leaves and injuring the plants. 
The discs are also adjustable for depth and to throw to or from 
the row as desired. 


The set of prong cultivator teeth will be found invaluable 
in general cultivation. The tooth next to the row is narrow and 
is arranged to run shallow, the middle tooth is wider and runs 
deeper, while the outside tooth is much wider and runs deeper 
still, so that the work is finer and more delicate next to the row, 
to avoid injury to the roots of plants, and deeper in the center, 
The teeth are also set out of line from front to back, which makes 
them work with greater freedom. 


This new combination is sure to prove popular in all sections. 


PLANET JR. TWELVE-TOOTH HARROW. 


Gardeners cultivate better than formerly. It has been found 
to pay best. The farmer or gardener is most likely to cultivate 
best who has the tool best adapted to this purpose. With the 
Twelve-Tooth Harrow here shown, you go as deep or shallow as 
you like, come up close to row without injuring plants, cut out all 
the weeds, stir the soil, mellow and fine it as with a garden rake. 
You widen and narrow as you please between 12 and 32 inches. 
It is a special favorite with strawberry growers, market gardeners 
and truckers.

“INTERNATIONAL SANITARY HOVER 


The only brooding device in existence warmer at the curtain than near the 
center. This causes the chicks to distribute themselves near the curtain, 
where there is abundant fresh air instead of crowding to the center to trample 
one another or suffocate. The hover can be carried around with ease and used 
anywhere. It is well suited to portable brooders or colony houses, but can 
be used in a hen house, barn or cow’s Stall, a piano or organ case, in some place 
sheltered from wind and rain. It is circ cular in shape, ‘and there is no corner 
for chicks to crowd into. It is metal throughout and fireproof, no solder being 
used in making it. There are no crevices nor seams for vermin to gather in. 
It provides larger hovering space than any other standard hover. No carpenter 
work is required to set it up. No cutting of holes nor building of platforms. 
The hover and the surrounding floor space are always on the same level. The 
lamp can be lifted out through the top by the operator while standing up, 
which makes it unnecessary to kneel in dust or mud to attend to the lamp. 
There is no possibility of gases or fumes from the lamp getting into the air 
breathed by the chicks. During the fall and winter months the Sanitary Hover 
can be used to sprout oats and so provide a 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 hens, 3 days. Prices oa: $8.50
