in the row, and let grow until wanted to plant out. Keep well wet
down in dry weather. Set out in July, 6 to 8 inches apart, (press
soil firmly against roots), in single row in shallow trenches, having
previously worked a good quantity of well rotted manure in bottom
of trench. It is well to work thoroughly into the soil under and
around the trench a quantity of Mapes or Quinnipiac Fertilizers.
To raise good celery requires rich soil. Earth up two or three
times, taking care not to let the earth get into the heart of the plant.

C# - 3 CORN — (Sweet or Sugar)
CULTURE.— Plant in hills 3 ft. apart each way, and
five or six kernels in a hill. Hoe often, drawing soil up
to stem after first hoeing. Break off side shoots. Make
ground very rich. If stable manure is used, it is perhaps
best to plow it under. Use broadcast or in the hill Mapes
or Quinnipiac Fertilizer, worked well into soil. It has
been found very beneficial to sow these fertilizers between
the rows before cultivating and hoeing the second time.
We have been very careful in selecting the best and
sweetest varieties of corn adapted to this section. The
fist below is arranged in order as they would mature.
If two or more varieties are selected and planted at same

MUSHROOM SPAWN
CULTURE. — Mushrooms are more
easily cultivated than many people imag-
ine and may be grown in any room or
cellar where the temperature can be
maintained at from 50 to 65 degrees.
For the beds use a mixture of three parts
horse droppings and one part good fresh
loam. Before being placed in the bed,
let the manure be put in some dry place to
sweeten, mixing it thoroughly and turning
it three or four times, when the loam may
be added. Upon a dry firm bottom or shelf, make the bed by spreading a thin layer of the
prepared mixture, pounding it firm, and continue this, till the bed is twelve inches thick.
Leave it thus for about a week, or until the temperature has subsided to 85 degrees. Then
make holes about ten inches apart, and put in each a piece of spawn about the size of an egg.
Press the spawn firmly into the compost about two inches, leaving the top uncovered to
allow the excess of heat and moisture to pass off without injury to the germs. After ten
days, fill the holes and cover the whole bed with two inches of fresh loam, and over this
place a few inches of straw. If the temperature is right, mushrooms will appear in six
or eight weeks from the time of spawning. The bed will continue bearing from four to
six weeks. If the surface of the bed becomes dry at any time, it should be moistened freely
with water at a temperature of 90 to 100 degrees.
Our stock of spawn is replaced a number of times during the season and is giving
excellent results.

and again every ten days for succession. Peas may be sown as late as August 15th. Me-

the extra early very late. Sow in single or double rows from 4 to 6 feet apart, according
to variety, and about an inch apart in the row and 4 in. deep. Hoe often, keep ground
clean and fine. Most Dwarf Peas will bear better if bushed enough to keep them from the
ground. If the pea louse attacks the vines, spray every day with clear water of the same
temperature as the atmosphere, using force.

These Potatoes were raised from our Maine
Grown Seed, the crop was uniform and heavy
and of excellent quality.
POTATOES
Use the “Quinnipiac or Mapes Fertilizers.” To insure quantity and quality in your
potato crop there are positively no better fertilizers made.
Prices subject to Variation
These are the prices ruling in January — they are subject to change without notice.
Early Potatoes
POTATOES
CULTURE. — So many conflicting opinions
exist as to the best method of growing pota-
toes, that we do not venture to give directions
for culture. We do, however, make the follow-
ing suggestions: Plant in such a manner that
most of the heavy hard work can be done by
the horse. Use “Mapes Potato Manure,” or
“Quinnipiac Potato or Market Garden,” in
sufficient quantities to insure a crop. Always
bear in mind that to get the full benefit of the
fertilizer and not burn the roots it should be
thoroughly mixed with the soil. If stable ma-
nure is used at all, it should not come in contact
with the tubers, as it is sure to make the crop
rough and scabby.

Our list of Sweet Peas has been carefully
revised with a view of keeping it strictly
up to date. Should you miss some old
favorite in the list, it has been discarded
in favor of an improved sort. Sweet
Peas, owing to the extremely short crop
are very scarce and while the prices are
not firm we shall endeavor to adhere to
them as long as we can. It will be diffi-
cult to replace the seed stock

LAWN GRASS SEED
OUR LAWN GRASS SEED is a specially reliable mixture of fine growing grasses, en-
tirely free from weed seeds and can be depended on to produce a perfect, velvety green
turf if properly sown and cared for. Quantity required per acre, 4 bushels. Price per
quart, 25c., Lz peck, 85c., peck, $1.50, bushel, $5.50.
POINTS WORTH REMEMBERING IN MAKING A LAWN.
At least six inches of the surface soil should be alike and even, for nothing looks worse
than to see a lawn grown in patches. So many noxious weeds are introduced into the
ground with barnyard manure that its use is not recommended. The ground should be
well prepared and rolled previous to sowing, it should then be gone over with a fine rake,
the seed then evenly scattered over the surface at
the rate of four bushels per acre. The whole should
then be raked or bushed in and again rolled. When
the grass has attained a height of three inches, it
should be cut with a sharp scythe; never use a
lawn mower that “pinches off" or “pulls” the grass,
it should “clip” it with a good shear cut. Fre-
quent mowings and rollings are necessary to keep
a lawn in good condition. Once or twice during
the season an application of Mapes or Quinnipiac
should be applied as a top dressing. To “thicken
up” the grass use one bushel lawn seed per acre.
Don’t forget the roller. Use a good Lawn Mow-
er, in good cutting order.

kinds, putting them in first-class working order.

There is less liability of getting churns too large than too small* Be sure and order
churns large enough. There must be room in the churn to produce the concussion, an d
a small churn filled too full will require a longer time for churning.
