FOR THOSE WHO WANT THE VERY BEST. There is without doubt a very best in everything. It is also a recog-
nized fact that the very best in any line are those things to which a business house concentrates its undivided attention
and efforts. For the past 25 years we have spared no expense in selecting a collection of house and garden plants
that will give absolute satisfaction to our customers.

The BIG FOUR Points J location express rates

you should consider { PACKING QUALITY

Our location is ideal, plants being grown under climatic conditions which insure sturdy and well formed stock.
The continual repeat of orders is positive evidence of the careful and systematic packing of our plants.

We sell at the lowest possible price in conjunction with good goods, and being located in the heart of the great
Northwest, place our goods in your home at a minimum cost.

For quality our goods are in a class by themselves, with a distinctiveness that make our customers our interested
friends.

PLANTS BY EXPRESS. We always advise express for plants because we can send larger plants this way than

by mail. Unless instructed to the contrary, we send pot giown plants in their pots, but it saves expressage to ship

without pots, not merely because of the lessened weight, but by reason of the special discount allowed by the express
companies on plants out of pots; so if you want plants without pots please say so, and when received, customers should
see that they get the special discount of 20 per cent, from the ordinary rate.

IMPORTANT. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE CUSTOMER PAYS THE EXPRESS, FREIGHT OR POSTAGE ON
EVERYTHING IN THIS CATALOGUE UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED.

PARCELS POST. The rate on plants, bulbs and seeds r emains the same (8c per lb. , with the exception that

larger and heavier packages may be sent. This will permit us to send plants to our customers who reside some

distance from the railroad, which heretofore have been almost prohibitive, owing to the high prices charged by the
stage lines.

Dahlias

The varieties of Dahlias listed are the results of a \ 'Tv
careful selection as to form and freedom of bloom, with
special pains as to the colors.

We have taken consideration of the varied soils and cli-
mates, and the varieties we offer can be depended on to
be the leaders for an early and continuous display in the
garden. Should our stock of roots be exhausted we supply
in their place good, strong 4-inch pot plants. Some people
prefer these to the dormant roots.

CULTURE.

Should be planted in a well drained position and where
they will receive the greatest amount of sun during the
day. The soil should be made loose and a liberal amount
of 'fertilizer added before planting. Well decayed stable
manure is very satisfactory as a fertilizer. Do not set
out plants until all danger of frost is over. This should
be specially noted in the case of potted plants. Dahlias
should be lifted immediately after the first killing frost
and stored in a cool place over winter.

FERNS

A plant of any kind that does
well all the year around is certainly
one that finds great popularity. A
Fern is a distinct and distinguished
plant and if given sufficient atten-
tion will always cast an atmosphere
of cheerfulness in a room. Our se-
lection is so varied that even the
most critical can get satisfaction.
Ferns when decorated with a few
flowers thrust among their graceful
pinnate foliage make a splendid
table decoration. The above illus-
tration gives a faint idea of the
number we carry, and you can be
assured when ordering from us that
no better plants are procurable.

Neplirolepis Bostoniensis (Boston Fern) — Although many
new varieties of ferns have been introduced, the Boston
Fern still remains the favorite. Each year the demand
for this long time favorite is increasing, especially in the
larger sizes. It is conceded by all to be the most appro-
priate fern used for a present, for which purpose we
carry a special grade. A fern of any kind, especially the
Boston, tends to give an air of refinement to the room.
Our stock of Boston Ferns this year is the last word in
excellence, and owing to the fact that we are offering
nothing but the choicest kinds, expect a heavy demand.

Geraniums

S. A. Nutt.

Gen. Wood.

Have you ever tried massing Geraniums as bedding
plants in your garden? If not, we strongly advise your
doing so. Nothing looks finer than a bed of our
Geraniums when in bloom. The plants can be lifted in
the fall and again fill the need of house plants. As re-
gards beauty in foliage, profuseness of blossoms and
strength of plants, our stock is unexcelled. Aside from
their use as bedding plants, Geraniums are especially
well suited for conservatory decorations or for the win-
'ow garden. For a low table decoration, when used with
some fine fern, the blossoms form an exquisite center-
piece. /

Radiance.

Our collection of Roses is even larger than it was
last year, having introduced those of recent creation, and
a careful but wide selection of the standard varieties, with
special attention to those embodying delicate shades and
peculiar fragrance. The large collection offered enables
you to select the superb rich crimson red and pink varieties
which make such pleasing contrasts to the yellow and
whites.

Tea and Hybrid
Tea Roses

Radiance — A hardy ever-blooming.
Flowers are a brilliant rosy carmine,
borne on long stiff stems with dark
green healthy foliage. A very vig-
orous grower.

My Maryland — A rose of exceptional
merit, and has been thoroughly
tested. In color it is a brighter pink
than the Bridesmaid Rose, and in
habit it is more prolific.

Betty — This Irish ever-blooming Hy-
brid Tea Rose is of a coppery pink
shade.

Rhea Reid — Bright red, of strong
growth and of purely American ori-
gin.

La France — This old variety still main-
tains its popularity among pink roses.

Bridesmaid — The pink counterpart of

Sunburst — Is extraordinarily vigorous
and healthy and belongs to the class
of big roses. The color is orange
copper or golden orange, all intense
shades and extremely brilliant in ef-
fect. Does well out of doors and will
rank high as a bedder. At the Chicago
show, 1910, it was awarded the cup
for the best new rose ever before
exhibited.

Mrs. Aaron Ward — The habit of this
rose is one of the handsomest in the
entire rose family, a profusion of
bronze green, long pointed foliage,
carried quite up to the flower. The
color of the bloom is Indian yellow,
which lightens, as the rose opens,
to a soft fawn color. It is a rose dis-
tinct in every respect.

Mme. Chatenay — Perpetual bloomer of a delicate pink
shade; does well in the open.

Mrs. Geo. Shawyer — The color is of a lovely bright shade
of pink.

White Killarney — As an outdoor variety, Killarney (the
pink variety) has proved to be one of the very best of
roses we know of, plants standing the winter with ordi-
nary protection and producing an abundance of blos-
soms during the season. White Killarney is identical in
habit and growth with the pink.

INSECT PESTS.

A weekly application of some
insecticide will well repay you
in the ultimate growth and health
of your roses. It is almost im-
possible to name any stated mix-
ture. We refer you to our list if
Insecticides.

Mme. Chatenay.

SITUATION.

Rest results can he obtained by planting roses where
they receive the full benefit of the sun, and sheltered from
the north winds. Under no condition should they be
planted where they are liable to come into contact with
other roots of the larger trees and shrubs.

SOIL.

The best soil for roses is sod from an old pasture, adding
some well rotted cow manure.

American Beauty

PLANTING— PREPARATION OF
THE BED.

The bed should be prepared a
short while before planting, so as
to let the soil settle. The depth
of the bed depends on the size of
the plant, usually about one foot.
Fill this with the soil and man-
ure, being careful to provide for
proper drainage. On receiving the
plants, if in a dormant state, the
tips of the roots should be cut off
about half an inch or more.

if the plants are from pots, they
should be set so that the ball of
earth is about 1 to 3 inches below
the level of the ground.

Great care should be taken to
See that the roots are evenly dis-
tributed, as upon this detail quan-
tity and quality of blooms will de-
pend. A thorough soaking of
water should then be given.

PRUNING.

The principal pruning should
be done in the spring beginning
with the perpetuals first. Climb-
ing roses need no pruning what-
ever except cutting out the dead
wood or cutting back the canes to
make the growth conform- to
some desired effect.

WINTER PROTECTION.

Almost all the roses (the
Hardy Yellow varieties are some
of the exceptions), should be pro-
tected during winter. For this
purpose we use long clean straw,
bending the rose bushes to the
ground and wrapping the straw
over them to a thickness of about
six inches.

smc*.

The best of all the outdoor roses
and in a class to itself. We suppose
we are noted for our stock of this
grand rose more than for any other.
All our plants of this variety are the
acme of strength and healthfulness,
and if there is one size more than
another on which we pride our-
selves, it is the dollar grade. These
are very strong and bloom the first
season if properly cared for. A
light protection in winter is re-
quired. Our $1.00 grade of this rose
is unexcelled and strongly advise
you to take this size for planting.

(fc HARDY PERENNIALS

From a small beginning 25 years ago our Perennial Department has developed into one of the largest
branches of our business. Today we are enabled to offer you the widest and largest assortment of Perennials
in the Great Northwest. This has been accomplished solely on the broad principal of giving our customers
full value for their money and supplying only the very best grade of stock.

Our wide circle of patrons are also at an advantage in that we are GROWERS OF THE PEREN-
NIALS THAT WE SELL and are thus enabled to give better values than if we were simply buyers.

For many years we have been supplying the most critical amateur and professional gardeners in this state
with their stock of perennial olants and the steady growth in our business during this period has been conclu-
sive evidence that OUR PLANTS ARE RELIABLE AND OUR CUSTOMERS SATISFIED.

WE ARE THE NORTHWEST LEADERS IN PERENNIALS. No plants are listed in our
lists as hardy that have not been thoroughly proved to be adaptable to the Northwest. No lawn of the orna-
mental kind is complete without a liberal proportion of hardy flowering plants. The rapid growth they make,
combined with the small amount of care they require, makes them a general favorite. By judicious selection
your garden can have plants in bloom all the summer. Another important factor is their use for indoor decora-
tions, providing exquisite flowers six months out of the year. LOOK THROUGH OUR ASSORTMENT

Bascom, Mont., Sept. 21, 1913.

State Nursery Co., Helena, Mont.

Dear Sirs: This is to let you know that I was well

pleased with the seeds I bought of you this spring,
1913. The New Northwest musk melons were ripe the
middle of August, and were a bumper crop. The garden
peas flooded us with peas, so I was ashamed to look a
pea in the face. Cucumbers, a little million; beets, ex-
cellent, both stock and table fine; sweet corn, all kinds
did well; lettuce did well. We had a fierce hail that
fixed the beans and cabbage and cauliflower. Onion
seed and sets did excellent; parsnips and parsley did
excellent; pumpkins killed by hail; radishes and salsify
excellent; rhubarb seed grew nicely; spinach and ruta-
bagas excellent. All the above were grown on heavy
soil. I would have entered my musk melons at the
State Fair, but some friend of mine who also had an
eye to beauty purloined the prize winners one day while
I was away, as the road runs through my ranch.
When you get your seed oats for 1914 send me a
sample.

42 SHADE AND ORNAMENTAL TREES . STATE NURSERY CO.

A BLOCK OF TREES IN OUR NURSERY.

Shade and Ornamental

State Nursery grown trees are emblematic of the
best of what the Northwest can produce and the
numerous unsolicited testimonials we receive bear out
that fact. Our location is ideal, with soil, that gives
all our trees the one essential requirement, a good
strong fibrous root.

Our trees are being planted for parking not only
by private persons but by many of the cities through-
out the State.

The ideal packing is our specialty, the trees reach-
ing you in practically the same condition as when
they were dug. All the trees are wrapped the full
length in burlap and the roots completely covered
with wet moss.

For shipping facilities we lead! If any stock will
grow in Montana, it is ours.

We guarantee all stock true to name, but accept
no responsibility other than replacing, in case we
make one of those errors which creep into every busy
season.

It is always advisable to ship nursery stock by
express because of their reaching you much more
quickly than by freight. It costs a little more but
it will pay you. Large shipments we are com-
pelled to send by freight, but these shipments are
packed with unusual precaution as to the wrap-
ping and moistening of the roots.

Poplars in Our Nursery.

On receiving Trees unpack without delay,
cover the roots with earth and water freely.

The roots should never be exposed to the
air after wrapping is removed.

All bruised ends of roots should be trimmed.

When planting do not expose roots by taking
more than one tree at a time.

All Trees should be planted about 2 inches
deeper than they were at the nursery. (The
mark at the base determines this depth.)

Soil should be firmly packed around the
roots. This is an essential point.

Complete by well watering.

FRUIT TREES AND BUSHES.

STATE NURSERY CO.

Fruit Trees (Q, Bushes

We are the specialists in Fruit Trees for the Private Individual.

and our stock is grown more especially for this class of trade. Our list is somewhat limited, because we offer only
what we consider is essentially adapted to the Montana climate. Montana is a cold state and it is useless as we have
proved from our experience — to expect varieties that do well in other milder locations to stand our winters. If, how-
ever, you are desirous of getting something we do not list, let us know, and we will supply you, at the same time giving
you our candid advice. All the trees listed here we can honestly recommend for hardiness and good value, in all the
best of the standard varieties. Our experience is offered to you in this catalog in its entirety.

Our Apple Trees at the prices quoted cannot be beat as regards quality, and the size of the root on our $1 grade
is our great distinguishing feature. Quality counts with us coupled with a minimum price: All our apples from 75c
up, are from 2 to 4 years old, but if you desire something larger kindly let us know. We have some very fine speci-
ments at moderate prices.

Our unique and unusual size for the price is the $1 grade. This grade is something exceptional, and one which
will give entire satisfaction.

Remember that a small number of good trees will give more satisfaction than any quantity of inferior stock. It
pays to buy the best.

BUSH FRUITS.

STATE NURSERY CO.

BUSH FRUITS

Every year this class of fruit cultivation seems
to be growing in popularity. New varieties coupled
with their adaptability to the Montana climate is
giving them a foremost place in fruit planting.
Our stock this year is more complete than ever
before, and our bushes are the very picture of
purity and vigor.

BLACKBERRIES.

To get best possible results, plant in rows six feet apart
about three feet in the row.

Stone’s Hardy — Vigorous and upright growth. A very de-
pendable variety, and although its fruit is a little smaller
than others of its class, its extreme hardiness will al-
ways keep it a favorite.

Snyder — Very productive and hardy; fruit sweet and juicy,

ripens early. Each 10c; doz. 75c

Each, (Postpaid) 20c; doz. $1.00

CURRANTS.

ornamental bush in landscape work. Last year our sales of
currant bushes was far in advance of previous years, a
significant proof of their popularity. Our bushes this year
are exceptionally vigorous, upright and compact.

GOOSEBERRIES.

When planted a good distance
apart and given good, shallow
surface cultivation, the Goose-
berry does exceptionally well in
this state, and should be more
generally planted. American va-
rieties are much more adaptable
than English varieties.

Downing — This is one of the
most popular and most widely
grown of the plants, producing
Gooseberries in fairly good size.
The berries are of a light green
color, tender skinned and have
an excellent, mild flavor. The

ing, very productive and free
from disease. Valuable for both
home and commercial purposes.

STRAWBERRIES.

STRAWBERRIES

Strawberries are either perfect flowered or imper-
fect. The imperfect a arieties should be planted in rows
between those having perfect flowers. The best mate
for Sample will be Wm. Belt; for Haverland. Buster, or
Fendall, Senator Dunlap.

The fruiting plant that stands the severe condi-
tions of Montana’s climate with splendid credit to it-
self is the Strawberry. For the space it occupies in
the garden it is hard to find anything to equal it and
our patrons show a constantly increasing appreciation
of this fact. To meet demands we have plants this
year in greater quantity and variety than ever be-
fore. They are all fine plants, grown on our own
grounds.

For years the Senator Dunlap has stood at the
head in this state as a plant sufficiently hardy to
endure all climatic vicissitudes. Thorough tests
have proven that the Wm. Belt, Splendid, Stevens’
Late Champion and Chesapeake are exceptionally
hardy and worthy in other respects. We heartily
recommend them. Their culture will extend the
fruiting season very materially.

Senator Dunlap, P. — Hardy, strong grower, prolific
plant-maker, good bearer of firm berries that stand
transportation well. The best earrly, midseason
berry lor Montana and more generally planted than
any other.

Wm. Belt, P. — No berry sufficiently hardy to stand
our high elevations is equal to this in flavor. Plants
are good sized and productive. A splendid mid-
season berry, sure to please all who grow it who
like fine fruit.

Splendid, P. — A new variety in Montana and a very
fine one. Plants are hardy and very productive.
Berries are irregular in shape, but are of fine
flavor. A money-maker for those who grow ber-
ries for market.

Stevens’ Late Champion, P. — First fruit matures
about a week later than Senator Dunlap. Plants
are admirably adapted to Montana; they produce
quantities of berries of fine size and flavor.

Chesapeake, P. — Not as productive as the above va-
rieties, but later. Unequalled by any other as a
very late berry. Plants very large and perfectly
hardy. Fruit stems erect, berries large and per-
fect in shape.

Early Ozark, P. — In the south this variety has made
a record for itself as an extra early variety.

Aroma, P. — This is one of the leading shipping ber-
ries in the south. Its demonstrated excellence as
a late berry makes it worthy of trial.

Good Luck, P. — Plants large and very hardy. If they
produce according to size of plant they are all right

Buby, P. — Does very well in all parts of the state.
Most of our customers find it a good yielder.

Marshall, P. — A standard variety that has many friends in many parts of the
country. It does very nicely in portions of Montana where the climatic con-
ditions are not too severe.

Sharpless, P. — A very old favorite, but we advise planting it only in the milder
portions of the stale, neither plant nor blossoms being as hardy as some of the
newer varieties.

Haverland, I. — An old-time favorite. Hardy and productive. Berries uniform and
bright red.

Buster, I. — Plants vigorous, hardy and fairly produc-
tive.

Fendall, I. — Does splendidly in some sections but is
not adapted to higher altitudes in Montana.

Jucunda, P. — A great favorite in the western part
of the state. No berry grown has a finer flavor.
We recommend it heartily, but only for eleva-
tions under 4,000 feet.

Glen Mary, P. — Does real well in Montana in the
more favored localities, where it produces a good
crop of fruit on plants somewhat similar to Sen-
ator Dunlap.

Bederwood. P. — An* early variety worthy of trial.
Fruit a shade light in color, distinctive in appear-
ance and of fair flavor.

CUT FLOWERS

A Basket of Out-Door Flowers.

Cut Flowers

Catering to the cut flower demand is one of
the most important branches of our business.

With over 50 houses at our disposal, we offer
the finest and most up-to-date cut flower estab-
lishment in the west. Our endeavor is to al-
ways have a supply of the Standard Flowers to
meet all demands in both quantity and quality,
ai prices to suit all. To produce the highest
quality, coupled with efficient and prompt serv-
’ ice is our one great attainment, and we never
ship inferior grade flowers in order to quote
cheaper prices.

Our collection of the standard varieties is un-
excelled. For Roses, Carnations, Chrysanthe-
mums, Easter Lilies, Violets, etc., we lead. Be-
sides these we have the various flowers at the
different seasons of the year and if you are in
need of cut flowers you cannot do better than by
placing your order with us.

HOW TO ORDER

Always state time you wish flowers shipped. So that we may be able to study your special wants, quan-
tity, quality and price should always be given. Owing to the uncertainty of supply or assortment, we should
be pleased if patrons would kindly name a substitute in case we have not the exact needs of your order. If
possible place your order early, although we can deal with rush orders quite satisfactorily.

HOW WE SHIP

All flowers are shipped by express (occasionally by mail). If no time is stated, flowers are shipped by
first train after order is received. The flowers are tastefully packed in waterproof boxes, thus assuring you
receiving flowers in the best of condition. Remember that flowers packed by our special system carry for
two or three days’ journey.

SPECIAL OCCASIONS

There are many occasions when you wish to get a special grade or variety of flowers, either for yourself or
presentation purposes. Some of these occasions we enumerate.

Decoration Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day and Xmas.

These are but few of the days and the ones on which we make special preparations for the retail cus-
tomer. Probably you are anxious to send some flowers to a friend, but do not know just what to send. To
meet this, we make up special boxes, tastefully arranged, and containing the best only of assorted flowers. Send
us your card, or we will write one for you and enclose it with the order. So that your friend may receive the
flowers without any cost, we prepay to any point and charge To you.

Flowers for Weddings, Birthdays, Graduating Exercises, Etc.

These form another special line for which we are famed. Bouquet work for weddings we make by the
thousands. We ship wedding flowers all over the state. Suitable boxes of flowers for Birthdays and Grad-
uating Exercises forms one of our interesting selection items. Nothing pleases better than flowers on these
days, and our long experience places us so that’ we know just how to please. Special boxes of flowers offer a
variety of prices and can be obtained from $2.50 up.

We draw your special attention to our extraordinary selection of Orchids, the most beautiful flower that
grows. Our $3.00 to $5.00 Corsage Bouquet of Orchias is certainly something fine. The “young lady” friend
will certainly be delighted at any time with one of our Orchid Corsages.

Flowers to Distant Friends.

By special arrangement we are able to accept orders by Telegraph, Telephone or Mail for cut flowers to be
delivered to any part of the United States, Canada or Europe. Kindly let us know just what you require, time
order is to be delivered and the address of your friend. We will do the rest. Distance is no object with us,
so whatever part of the two continents your friends may be, you are still able to send them flowers.

Floral Designs for Funerals.

We are known all over the state for the beauty and finish of our floral designs,
used and the durability of the work are some of our distinguishing features. We list
generally used.

Wreaths Shields Stars Harps

Suggestions to our Customers in Ordering from this Catalogue,
the reading of which will aid you and us.

EARLY ORDERS — Our rush season comes in the months of March and April. Orders sent AT ONCE secure prompt
shipment at the proper time from our full stocks.

HOW TO ORDER — Write your name, postoffice, state and express office and company plainly with ink, on every
order, and also when you write us concerning it. Give plain express, mail or freight directions; where none are given,
we route goods at buyer’s risk.

USE ORDER SHEET — The use of our order sheet enclosed in this catalogue is a great help to us in filling and
shipping of orders. Instructions for use are on the sheet. More will be sent on receipt of a postal asking for same.
Flower or Vegetable Seed orders should plainly state quantity before the name of the variety. Plant orders should
give quantity, variety and size.

KEEP A COPY OF YOUR ORDER and mark off goods as received. Sometimes items may be sold out or will follow
later, in which case a slip is enclosed with other goods, or notice sent.

MISTAKES. — These will happen in spite of all care. Write us at once with copy of original order if possible, and
errors will be promptly rectified. Please do not return goods until you hear from us.

ORDERS ARE PROMPTLY FILLED — Or in case of extreme delay, you are notified by postal card. If you do not
hear of an order sent us, within a reasonable time, send us a duplicate of it, giving date of order, amount of same, and
form of remittance, your name and full address. If you cover these points in your first letter, a long delay is often
saved in tracing.

FREIGHT OR EXPRESS. — All express lines in the United States and Canada carry seeds at the special reduced rates
of 20 per cent, less than general merchandise rates. Plants come at the same special rate when out of pots and this
includes nursery stock. On moderate-sized orders, we advise express shipment rather than freight.

HOW TO SEND MONEY. — Send cash with order (as we do not open book accounts for small amounts) by Draft,
Postoffice or Express Money Order whenever possible; these are cheap and safe. Parcel postage stamps are taken
as cash for small amounts and we prefer denominations such as 5c, 10c or 15c. Registered letters can be sent from
any postoffice, and your receipt sent you by return mail, by which you know it has reached us. Local checks are ac-
cepted. Make money orders or checks payable to State Nursery Go.

RECOMMENDATIONS. — We tender our sincere thinks to the numerous customers who have been kind enough to
recommend us. We are always pleased to mail our catalogue to friends of our customers on request. We catalogue
only such seeds as have proved suitable to our climate. We trust that our efforts to simplify the task of selection of
seeds will meet the approval of our many friends. Our seeds we believe to be as good as can be obtained anywhere
and our facilities for testing same unexcelled.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY — It is so manifestly impossible for a seller of any perishable article to be responsible for
what may happen to it after it leaves his hands, especially one like seeds or plants, which are planted in the ground
under varying conditions of soil and climate, that we, in common with all American seed houses, disclaim responsi-
bility as to the crop which may be raised from seeds which we sell. At the same time, in case of any failure to secure
proper results caused from some inherent fault in the seeds themselves, the State Nursery Co., accepts responsibility,
not for crop, but to the extent of the amount of money paid for the seeds, if immediately advised. (Or seeds may be
returned. See below). We wish it understood that all our seeds are sold under the following general non-warranty:
We do not warrant in any way, expressed or implied, the contents or the description, quality, productiveness or
any other matter, of any seeds, bulbs, plants, shrubs or trees sold by us, and we will not be in any way responsible for
the crop. If the purchaser does not accept these goods on above terms, no sale is made thereof, and he must return
them at once, and money will be refunded. Subject to above conditions, we sell at the moderate prices herein quoted.

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE.

Beans — (Refugee Wax).

Beans — (Golden Wax).

ARTICHOKE ROOTS— (Dry Farmed).

1 lb., postpaid 20c; 10 lbs. 80c; 100 lbs. $6.50

Most valuable food for hogs that can be grown. Every
hog raiser should plant them. After one acre is planted
their value will be so appreciated that larger areas will be
devoted to them. They are not only very healthful, but as
a fattening agent are unexcelled. They yield very heavily,
300 to 350 bushels to the acre being realized on good soil. It
is not necessary to dig them, for if given an opportunity,
the hogs will help themselves.

Not only are they valuable for hogs, but are an excel-
lent food for cattle, sheep and horses. Fed to milch cows,
they are for the production of milk equal if not superior
to bran.

Artichokes need planting but once, and little or no cul-
ture after the first year. Cut as potatoes, only smaller;
plant in rows three and one-half feet apart. Plow deep,
plant shallow, .say two inches. The second year, break
up the ground as for corn; they will come up thickly all
over the surface.

Those wishing to purchase should place orders very
early, to be shipped as soon as favorable weather arrives.
By freight or express at purchaser’s expense.

ASPARAGUS

One of the earliest spring
vegetables. It requires a deep,
rich, mellow soil. Sow early
in the spring in drills
2 inches deep and 12 inches
apart if to be cultivated by
hand. One ounce of seed will
make about 500 plants.
When the plants are one or
two years old (one is best,
as a better crown will form)
transplant to rows 5 feet
apart and 18 inches apart in
the row. Cover the soil 4
to 5 inches deep with well
rotted manure and disc well —
then plow as deep as possi-
ble and fine with harrow.
Turn furrows 5 feet apart,
about 6 inches deep. Place
plants in these about 18
inches apart, with the roots
well spread out. Turn a
light furrow back over them
Asparagus. and level with the harrow by

cross harrowing.

ASPARAGUS — (Conover’s Colossal). Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; lb. 75c
The favorite in our western market, having a pink
tinge, and very fine flavor, of vigorous growth, none

ASPARAGUS— (Palmetto)...., Oz. 10c; lb. 75c

The plants are strong and vigorous in growth, produc-
ing large, thick, dark-green shoots, with a distinctly
pointed head or tip, as contrasted with the rounded
head of the other large-stalked varieties.

BEANS

in drills).

A succession of sowing can be made from the first week

in May until July. Plant in drills about 2 inches deep, and

from 18 inches to 2 feet apart, according to the richness of

the soil; the poorer the soil, the closer they can be planted.

well’s Kidney Wax. It is the most prolific, very tend-
er and entirely stringless; also a good shipper. The

BEET — (Crimson Globe). Per oz. 10c; V4 lb. 40c; lb. $1.50
Beets may come and Beets may go, but still the Crim-
son Globe retains Us position as the best Beet for the
market gardener, as well as for the private garden. A
constant steady demand from the same gardeners year
after year should be sufficient indorsement for this
Beet. It is very symmetrical with small tap root and
but few fibrous roots; color outside is deep blood-red;
inside layers of blood-red and light-red alternately.
When cooked are a beautiful dark red throughout,
fine-grained and unsurpassed in quality. It continues
to grow until late in the fall. One sowing only is nec-
essary to produce early beets for market and main
crop for winter use.

BEET — (Half Long Blood). Per oz. 10c; % lb. 30c; lb. $1.00
An excellent main crop beet. A great favorite as a
table or field sort. Roots are deep red in color, and
always symmetrical and smooth. The flesh is of a
rich dark red color. In quality it is sweet, crisp and
tender, and is an enormous cropper and a reliable
winter keeper. It is a heavy beet without being hard
to pull. It never becomes woody, and is always good
for table use or stock food, whether pulled young or
old. Becoming very popular with market men and
stock owners.

BEET — (Extra Early Dark Bed Montana Strain). Per

oz. 10c; Vi lb. 35c; lb $1.20

The market gardeners’ beet. For richness of color
and exquisite flavor this new strain cannot be equalled.
Early, rich and sweet.

BEET — (Edmunds Early Blood Turnip)... Per oz. 10c;; Vi lb.

30c; lb $1.00

Roots of good form, turnip shaped and flesh deep red,
as name indicates. This is a standard variety, and one
of the best.

BEET — (Dark Red Egyptian). Vz pint carton, 15c; oz. 10c;

Vi lb. 40c; 1 lb $1.20

Has more good qualities than any other beet, extra
early, sweet, small-leaved; color dark crimson.

BEET— (Market Gardeners’) Oz. 15c; Vi lb. 50c; 1 lb. $1.50
Always Good. Never past its prime. This grand beet
is one of the best for general cultivation by market
gardeners and farmers. Makes a very rapid growth
from the start, often larger than Egyptian, age for
age. It continues to grow for a long period, making a
heavy root for autumn or winter use. Only one
sowing is necessary to produce early beets for mar-
ket and a main crop for winter use. It is symmetri-
cal in form and of decidedly handsome appearance.

there are but few fibrous roots
and the top is small. It
should appeal strongly to busi-
ness gardeners and to every-
body wanting an all season’s
tabic beet.

FIELD BEANS

IMPROVED WHITE NAVY BEAN— (Per lb. 20c postpaid;;

10 lbs. $1.10; 100 lbs $7.50

The result of years of careful growing and selecting.
Far superior in both quality and productiveness to the
common sorts. The vine is of medium size, erect,
bearing a profusion of long pods well up from the
ground. The dry beans are small, round, pure white,
and of fine appearance. For this reason they are the
most profitable for the farmer to grow, as they will
always bring an extra price.

BOSTON YELLOW EYE— (Lb. 20c, postpaid); 10 lbs. $1.10
Almost every one who has lived in New England knows
the Boston Yellow Eye Bean. While much larger
quantities of white beans of the Navy type are used
than of all other varieties combined, those who know
about the Boston Yellow Eye prefer them to any other
bean for cooking, as they possess a richness and flavor
known to no other variety. As a shell bean they have
no superior, and for cooking in a dry state, no equal.
We strongly recommend the planting of the Boston
Yellow Eye. Once used they are always wante.d

(One ounce will sow a bed of 40 square feet and pro-

Sow the first week in May in drills 3 or 4 inches apart,
covering seeds lightly. When the leaves are about three
inches broad, transplant to prepared beds 2 feet apart each
way. Much resembles Cauliflower; cultivation the same.
BROCCOLI— (Snow White)....Pkt. 5c; oz. 50c; Vi lb. $1.50
Pure white color; heads medium size, close and
compact.

BROCCOLI-2(Purple Cape) Pkt. 5c; oz. 50c; Vi lb. $1.50

Same as above, excepting color.

TABLE BEETS

HOW TO PLANT— The soil should be rich and deeply
plowed, say 8 to 10 inches. Sow in rows from 14 to 20
inches apart and about 1 to lVi inches deep. About 6
pounds of seed to the acre for garden or stock feed and for
sugar about 20 pounds of seed to the acre. As soon as the
plants have the fifth and sixth leaf, thin to one plant each
8 inches. If under irrigation, water
as soon as thinned. Cultivate often
spid do not water again until abso-
lutely necessary, as the soil will dry
from the surface down and the tap
roots will follow. Careful tests have
proven that one cultivation a week
will give the best results. Keep clean
and remember that cultivation is the
next thing necessary after the best
seed and the two are necessary for

success.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS— (Species
of Cabbage; cultivation the
same. One ounce will grow a
bed of 40 square feet, and pro-
duce about 3,000 plants). This
is a delicious vegetable superior
to either Broccoli or Spinach.
The small, cabbage-like heads
which grow upon the stem are
much improved by a moderate
frost. Sow in hot-beds in
March or April, and in the open
ground in May; cultivate same
as Broccoli.

CABBAGE

Cabbage — (Peerless Wakefield).

CABBAGE — (Peerless Wakefield). Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c;

lb. 75c; lb ...$2.50

This Cabbage has been for many years the leading
early Cabbage in America. The main difficulty has
been to get a perfectly satisfactory and reliable strain
of seed. Buyers will find in Peerless Wakefield the
genuine article. It has few outer leaves, and in com-
pactness and regularity cannot be surpassed. The thick
stout leaves and compact habit make it the best sort
for very early setting. It frequently matures inside of
100 days from sowing.

(One ounce will produce 1,500 plants; half pound will
produce plants for one acre).

The soil should be deep and rich. For early crop,
grow plants in hot beds, transplanting to cold frames and
then as early as possible after danger of freezing to the
open ground. Cultivate often and keep well watered if
under irrigation. For late crops sow seed in open ground
and transplant, or some succeed finely by sowing seeds
in hills where wanted and thinning to one. This avoids
the necessity of waiting for a damp time to transplant.
CABBAGE — (Extra Early Express). Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c;

lb. 70c; lb $2.50

With First Early, it holds the place as the earliest Cab-
bage in cultivation, as it has produced fair sized, mar-
ketable heads in 80 days from the sowing of the seed.
There are few loose leaves, and almost every plant
forms a head. It can be planted close, and yields a
large crop. This is the earliest of the many early Cab-
bages of the catalogues.

CABBAGE — (Large Flat Dutch). Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; *4 lb.

75c; lb $2.50

Flat Dutch is comparatively free from a disposition to
burst, and is one of the most reliable winter keepers.
This strain will do better under partial neglect than
any other in the world, possibly excepting Surehead.

CABBAGE — (Enkhuizen’s Glory). Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c; V*

lb $1.25

The earliest and largest white Cabbage — very attrac-
tive for market purposes. Solid with large ball-shaped
heads, thin-ribbed and hard, and has but few outside
leaves; exceedingly tender. It is a dwarf and compact
grower; allowing close planting; in fact some of its
enthusiastic admirers claim it will yield more tons per
acre than any other variety on account of close plant-
ing.

CABBAGE — (Charleston Wakefield). Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; %

lb. 75c; 1 lb $2.50

The Charleston Wakefield is an improved and larger
form of Wakefield. It requires rather more time to
reach maturity, but it yields fully twice the crop of the
original Wakefield Cabbage. It is about a week or 10
days later than its parent, and comes along in a close
succession to the earliest Cabbage crop. It is a strain
which cannot be profitably overlooked by any gardener
whether it is intended for a private garden or to be
sent to market.

This is another old and famous type of early Cabbage,
but as in the case of Wakefield, the main difficulty is
to get a strain of seed representing the highest grade
of excellence. Such a strain will be found in our Win-
ningstadt. It is almost as early as Wakefield. It is a
sure header, even where other sorts may fail, and
seems to be less liable to the attack of the Cabbage
worm than many other varieties.

CAULIFLOWER

(One ounce for 5,000 plants).

Culture. — A gross feeder, and well repays heavy ma-
nuring and high culture. It succeeds best on well drained
soil. For spring crop, plant the seed in protected beds
early in February, and the plants will be ready to trans-
plant probably early in April. The young plants should be
thinned, since they become very spindly if allowed to grow
too thick in seed beed.

CAULIFLOWER — (S. N. Co.’s Peerless Snowball). Pkt of

about 350 seeds, 25c: XA oz. 80c; oz. $2.25; XA lb $8.00

where others fail. Its close and compact growing habit
permits one-third more to be planted on -the same
quantity of ground than can be done with other varie-
ties.

This carrot is one of such quick growth that a
good name for it is the radish carrot, for it cer-
tainly matures as quickly as a radish. It has
a very fine neck and a rather hollow crown. We
highly recommend it to all our customers who
desire a small, early, delicious Carrot that will
mature as soon as many varieties of radish, but
must be sown in very rich soil.

CELERY

(One ounce will produce 7,000 plants).

Sow seeds in a hot bed or cold frame. As soon as the
plants are about 3 inches high, transplant to a nicely pre-
pared bed in the border, setting them 4 or 5 inches apart.
When some 8 inches high, and fine stock plants, set them
in the trenches. Earth up a little during the summer,
keeping the leaf stalks close together, so that the soil can-
not get between them. Finish earthing up in autumn, and
never hoe or earth up in moist weather.

Keep the seed bed moist to insure quick germination
and vigorous growth.

CORN (Sweet)

(One pound for 100 hills; 15 lbs. for 1 acre).

Corn thrives best in warm, rich soil. The smaller
varieties may be planted in drills two and a half feet
apart and ten inches apart in the rows. The larger kinds
may be planted in hills three and a half feet apart each
way, allowing three or four stalks to remain in a hill.

from two to four ears. The shucks are tinged with
brown and the tip of the silk is also lightly brown.
The ears vary in size but average about five inches in
length. The flavor is delicious and in sweetness and
tenderness resembles both parents, Golden Bantam and
Country Gentleman. It is as early as the former, being
one of the first of the main crop varieties. We hope
everyone of our customers who has a spot in his gar-
den will try it.

LETTUCE

04 oz. to 100 feet of drill' .

Lettuce is represented by four distinct classes or types
— by the thick-leaved, smooth-edged cabbage-heading type:
the curly and thin-leaved tight-heading, crisp type; the
curly and thin-leaved bunching or non-heading type, and
the cos or celery type. There are early, medium early
and late varieties of each type, as well as those especially
adapted for greenhouse, hot-bed. winter, spring, summer
and autumn uses. There is so great a difference in lo-
calities in regard to the value of lettuce, that a uniform
rule for culture cannot be adopted. For the ordinary
house garden, it is desirable to use one variety of each
type and several plantings should be made to secure a
succession. The seed should be planted in rows eighteen
inches apart, as early as possible, and the young plants of
cabbage varieties should be thinned to four inches apart.
Varieties that do not head may be left quite thick, and
when fairly well grown those thinned out may be used.

It is astonishing how quickly this new lettuce from
Germany has made its way into popular favor. Three
years ago it was hardly known in America, now it is
found in the gardens of nearly every up-to-date grow-
er. It simply forced its way to the front on the basis
of its sterling merits. It grows very quickly, even in
the cold weather of early spring. The habit of growth
is very compact and close; in fact, the plant is about
all head. Outer leaves light green, inner leaves bright
yellow and of a fine rich, buttery flavor. Heads weigh
from 12 to 16 ozs., and are so solid that they carry to
market in perfect condition.

Why Not Parcel Post on Seeds?

For some unexplained reason seeds, bulbs and plants
are not included in the Parcel Post rates, but take a
flat rate of 8c per lb. anywhere in the country. Parcel
Post rates would in most cases be much cheaper. It
is you who have to pay the difference. Write a letter
to the Third Assistant Postmaster General, Washington,
D. C., and ask why. If enough of you do this it may
be righted.

Zone 1 lc per pound plus 4c.

Zone 2 lc per pound plus 4c.

Zone 5 6c per pound plus 2c.

Zone 6 8c per pound plus lc.

Zone 7 10c per pound plus lc.

These rates apply to practically all merchandise
except seeds, plants and bulbs.

Maule’s Model.

Muskmelon — (Extra Early Hackensack).

Culture — A rich, deep, sand loam, well worked and
highly manured with old rotten compost is of. the first im-
portance. Plant when all danger of frost is over, in hills
5 to 6 feet apart each way; scatter a dozen seeds to a hill,
and after they are out of danger from bugs, thin to 3 or
4 plants. When they have 4 or 5 rough leaves pinch off
the end of the main shoot, which will cause the lateral
branches to put forth fruit sooner.

(One ounce will plant about '80 hi, 11s).

THE FAMOUS MUSKMELON— (Maule’s Model). (Mon-

(Green Flesh). A paragon of merit — in size, shape,
netting, appearance, aroma, flavor, depth of flesh
smallness of seed cavity, cropping ability and shipping
quality. It leaves nothing to be desired. In deli-
cacy and quality of flavor it is unexcelled by any va-
riety on our list.

MUSKMELON — (New Northwest). Pkt.. of about 125 seeds,

15c; oz 50c

A muskmelon of marvelous productiveness, excellent
flavor, smooth skin and golden shade. Thick-fleshed
small seed cavity and the earliest maturing melon yet
introduced. We are the sole distributors of this
melon. It must be remembered that the “New North-
west,” planted in the open, can be depended on in Mon-
tana and other districts where rainfall is deficient.
MUSKMELON— (The Grand). Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Vi lb. 50c
Has a vigorous vine and because of its vigorous growth
is a great yielder. The fruit is round or slightly
elongated, slightly ribbed. Color a peculiar pea green
with nettings a lighter shade. The flesh is firm, fine
grained, of a rich salmon or red color. In flavor it
even surpasses the best grown Osage or Emerald Gem.
The flesh extends to the rind and retains its color and
quality quite to the outer shell, which, though thin, is
very hard and firm, and
because of this bears ship-
ment remarkably well. The flesh
is thick, very thick, considering
the size of the melon, leaving a
small seed cavity.

MUSKMELON— (Garden Lemon). Pkt.

part very thick and meaty. It is of orange or salmon
color, the type much preferred now.

MUSKMELON — (Jenny Lind). Oz. 10c; Vi lb. 30c; lb. $1.50
This is the earliest of the green fleshed sorts and one
of the sweetest. It is round or flattened. In size it is
small, being from three to five inches in diameter— a
very convenient size for serving in halves. It is more
largely grown in the great melon producing state of
New Jersey than any other sort, and is used in enor-
mous quantities in the eastern cities and at the sea-
shore resorts.

MUSKMELON — (Emerald Gem). Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; !4 lb.

(One ounce will plant 50 hills).

Fordhook Early.

The hills should be dug about 2 feet square, 18 inches
deep, and half filled with well-rotted manure, which must
be thoroughly incorporated with the soil. Plant in May,
10 seeds to a hill, and when the plants are well up, thin out
to three, and pinch the ends of the growing shoots to in-
duce early fruiting. While the watermelon is, generally
speaking, a southern product, yet the cultivation of same
is not confined to the south. Some of the sweetest and
best melons we have seen were produced in the latitude
of 45 degrees north; consequently, while the watermelon
is a tropical fruit, yet our northern friends can grow
them successfully.

WATERMELON — (Fordhook Early). Montana Grown Seed.

Oz. 10c; % lb. 30c; 1 lb 90c

One of the largest varieties, and claimed to be the
earliest of all. Shape nearly round. Color a medium
shade of green. Flesh bright red and of deliciously
sweet flavor. The rind is sufficiently hard to make
it a good shipper. Its originator, who lives in Dela-
ware, says that this variety always matures first in
competitive trials with other sorts.

WATERMELON— (Cole’s Early). Pkt. 5c; oz. 10 c; y4 lb.

This is a fine variety for the family and market and
is particularly adapted on account
of its earliness, to northern lati-
tudes. For early marketing there
is no superior. The bright red flesh
is cool, crisp and sweet. The melons
are of medium size, and produced
in generous numbers. The heart is
surprisingly large in proportion to
size of melon.

The best quality of all watermelons. Large oblong
melon, 20 inches in length by 10 to 12 inches in diame-
ter. The skin is dark green, flesh bright scarlet, the
rind only about one-half inch in thickness. The scar-
let flesh is sweet and sugary and is of such texture
that it leaves no strings of pulp whatever in eating.
The melon is better for home use than for shipping,
and we believe it is the best table melon today.

ONION SEEDS

(One ounce for 100 feet of drill; 5 or 6 pounds in drills for

an acre).

The best onions are grown on low, sandy, or mucky
lands, with natural moisture and plenty of it'.

The most essential item in growing onions for market
is good seed — seed that will come up and seed that will
produce the variety you want — cheap seed is very poor
economy.

The crop must always be kept free from weeds, and it
is usually necessary to weed out in the row by hand once
or twice. Hoeing between the rows may be done oftener.
It is not necessary to thin the plants in the row, since some
thinning is naturally done during the hand weeding.

Steady, even growth is necessary to good onions, and a
check in the growth, whether from disease or drought
causes them to run to seed badly.

Different markets and localities prefer different
onions. Globe onions are generally most popular and yield
better than the other sorts. Flat onions are the earliest
and the large sized kinds have the best flavor. The most
critical planters can rely uopn our seed. Every bag of
seed is tested as to vitality.

ONION— (Ailsa Craig). Pkt. 15c; oz. 30c; y4 lb. $1.00; lb. $3.50
A very large, yellow-fleshed variety of onion which is
popular with gardeners. It resembles the variety,
“Prizetaker,” but will grow much larger and more
globular in form. The skin is an attractive straw-
color, flesh is mild, and the onions keep remarkably
well for such large size. For producing the largest
and best onions, it is best to sow seed in the hotbed
early in spring and transplant when of sufficient size.
We grew onions of this variety in our trial grounds
weighing 2% lbs.

This strain of the Red Wethersfield has been especially
selected for its fine color. It is the darkest red onion

in existence and where
a market demands a
dark red onion, it has no
superior. Inclined to run
a small percentage of
thick necks on moist,
strong soils. The very

An early productive variety. The onions are of me-

mild flavored. Our strain is remarkable for its free-
ness from thick necks and is especially adapted to
the growing of Yellow Bottom Onion Sets. A very fine
sort for most locations.

ONION — (Fancy Yellow Globe Danvers). Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c;

2 oz. 25c; V4 lb. 45c; lb. $1.50; by express, 5 lbs $7.00

This onion is the standard winter sort in many mar-
kets. The shape is almost globe form and the bulbs
are quite large, with thin necks, ripening down well.
The skin is a fine brown, orange yellow, while the
flesh is pure white, solid and of good quality. Its
keeping qualities are of the best. This strain is so
nearly globe shaped that it passes for a globe, and its
earliness makes it valuable for market. The crop
is very uniform and ripens at one time. Our seed is
the very best selection that care can make it. No
gardener can afford to experiment with doubtful seed.

ONION — (White (Pickling). Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; V4 lb. 75c;

Selected stock. The handsomest, largest Yellow Globe
onion. Excellent keeper, of finest flavor, handsome
shape and enormous size, many single onions having
been raised to weigh five pounds and over from seeds
the first year. It is of the same type as those immense
imported onions which can be seen in stores and al-
ways command a very high price.

ONION — (Australian Brown). Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; V4 lb. 40c;

lb. $1.25; lb lbs $6.00

An early and very hardy variety which does especially
well in Montana. Should be planted early, on low,
wet grounds to get large bulbs. The skin is thick and
the color is a rich brown. Is especially noted as a
long keeper, as it keeps well into spring, and much
longer than other varieties.

ONION— (White Welsh). Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; Vi lb 75c

This is one of the best green bunch onions known.
Pearly white in appearance and mild in flavor, it is a
most desirable bunch onion for market gardeners or
the home garden. It does not form a bulb, but very
early in the spring, before seeds or sets are planted, it
produces a fine bunch onion or scallion, which are
quite attractive and coming in a season when green
stuff is scarce. It is a money maker, and will be ap-
preciated where an early green bunch onion is in de-
mand. Being very hardy, requiring no winter mulch-
ing. Authorities every where recommend this variety,
and market gardeners will find it an exceedingly prof-
itable crop.

WELSH ONION CULTURE.

Sow the seed thinly in rows 12 to 16 inches apart;
using 10 to 12 pounds of seed per acre on rich land, prefer-
ably in the early spring, but not later than the latter
part of July, so as to have plants well established before
winter sets in.

ONION — (Southport White Globe). Oz. 25c; *4 lb. 75c;

1 lb $2.50

A very desirable variety which yields an abundant
crop of fine large onions. Pure white color, mild
flavor, and equally good for keeping as the Yellow
Globe. It is an enormous yielder, and always sells at
high prices. It is best to dry these onions in a shady
’ place and give plenty of air.

ONION SETS

The Importance of Using Northern Grown Onion Sets.

The planting of Onion
Sets is increasing rapidly
year after year. They
are used for several pur-
poses. The Bottom Onion
Sets produce a large
onion ready for market
from four to six weeks
earlier than can be had
by sowing the seed. This
enables the grower to
sell his entire crop earlier
in the season, at which
time prices usually are
higher than when the
bulk of the crop reaches
market. It also permits
the sowing of another
crop on the land the same
year. Bottom Sets also
produce good green
onions on most any soil in half the time it takes to raise
them from seed.

Bottom Onion Sets are produced by sowing seed very
thickly and they are harvested before they have reached
full development.

Multiplier Onion Sets are formed through the division
of the bulbs into many smaller ones; thev are not grown
from seed.

Top sets are produced like seed on the top of the
stalks. Top sets make large bulbs one year and top sets
the next.

fifteen bulbs growing from one bulb set out.

Parsley — (Moss Curled).

PARSLEY

(One ounce for 150 feet of drill).

Parsley suc-
ceeds best in

rich, mellow soil.
As the seed ger-
minates very
slowly, it should
be sown quite
early in the

spring, previ-
ously soaking the
seed for a few
hours in tepid
water. Sow
thickly in rows a
foot apart and
half an inch
deep. For win-
ter use protect
. in a frame or
light cellar, or a few plants may be placed in pots or
boxes, and kept in the house.

PEAS

(1 lb. to 100 feet of drill; 80 to 100 lbs. to the acre).

When- grown as a market crop, peas are never stalked; for pri-
vate use they are generally sown in double rows, and the tall va-
rieties staked up by brush. For an early crop sow as soon as the
ground can be worked, and make repeated sowings every two weeks
for succession. After the first of June, sowing should be discontinued
until the first of August, when a good crop may sometimes be se-
cured by sowing an extra early sort for fall use.

features of the Daisy pea are its large pods and the
way in which they are heaped up in ridges on the
short, strong vines. The pods are nearly double the
size of American Wonder or Little Gem, and are al-
ways well filled with large peas of most excellent
quality. The vines are 16 to 18 inches high, and being
strong and thrifty, require no support, making it an

podded varieties in another particular, that of pro-
ductiveness. In other words, a pint of Colossus pea
pods will yield as many shelled peas as a quart of most
other sorts. Quality is always to be preferred to quan-
tity, but a pea which will give better quality and
larger quantity is the pea to plant; that pea is the
Colossus.

RADISHES

Being a root crop, good brittle radishes require light, well worked
soil, made very rich and mellow to insure quick growth. If per-
mitted to grow slowly, they become tough and pithy. They are easy
to grow and frequent plantings will insure a constant supply for the
table. Use two-thirds ounce for 100 feet of row, and thin the very
young plants somewhat to prevent crowding. Summer varieties can
be sown all spring and well into summer. Winter varieties, however,
require some time to mature; the seed of these should be planted in
July.

color being a rich carmine scarlet with a very pro-
nounced tip of purest white. The roots, even when
fully developed, are solid, crisp and sweet, and remain
fit for use as long as the coarser kinds. It is equally

SQUASH

(One ounce to 10 hills; 2 lbs. to the acre).

There are two distinct types. The Summer is cul-

green or growing stage during the summer months. The
Winter squashes produce larger, hard-shell fruits, which
are gathered in the fall before there is danger of their
being injured by frost, and stored in a warm, dry place
for winter use. A few of the varieties, notably Fordhook,
may be used in either state.

large, dark olive-green fruits are
rather more heavily warted. Very
handsome in appearance; an ex-
cellent keeper and of splendid
quality.

SQUASH— (Hubbard— S. X. Co.’s Su-
perior Strain). Oz. 10c; Vi lb. 30c:

This old and popular favorite is
still one of the very best winter
squashes grown; and whether
boiled, steamed or baked, it is al-
ways richly flavored, sweet and
dry. The vines are strong, lux-
uriant growers and very produc-
tive, yielding large heavy squashes
of dark bluish green color, weigh-
ing often 10 to 25 pounds each.
Properly stored, it may be kept
from September to May.

TURNIPS

'One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill; 2 pounds will sow an

acre).

Culture — For early use, sow as soon as the ground can
be worked in spring, in drills 15 inches apart, and thin to
8 inches apart as soon as plants are large enough to handle.
The sowing should be made just before rain, if possible,
a rapid growth being important.

For feeding stock in fall and winter there is nothing
superior to turnips and rutabagas, as they are much liked
by all kinds of stock and serve to keep them in good con-
dition. We cannot too earnestly recommend farmers to in-
crease their sowings largely, for we are sure the crop will
prove remunerative.

There are a great many varieties, but our list com-
prises the best for the garden or farm.

Rocky Mountain Lawn Grass Seed

View of C. B. Power, Esq/s New Lawn (Helena) Seeded Sept. 1st, 1913 by the Krogman Co. (Landscape Gardeners), With
Seed Supplied by Us. A Wonderful Showing in 30 Days — (Photo Taken Oct. 1st).

One of the greatest essentials of the country place and suburban home is a properly-made and well-kept lawn.
We have made careful study of the grasses required for best results and the formulas of our various Grass Mixtures
are based upon these experiments. The combination of varieties of grasses used is the best for quickly producing per-
manent lawns.

To Make a Handsome Lawn — The ground must be well dug, raked and leveled, and where the soil is composed
mostly of sand and gravel, a top dressing of about four inches of black soil should be applied, and every semblance of
weed roots removed. If rich soil cannot be secured, well decomposed stable manure or a good fertilizer may be used.
After the seed is sown, which should be done on a calm, dry day, rake the seed in and roll well, or in the absence of a
roller, pat the ground well with the back of a spade or shovel. Much of the fine appearance' of a lawn depends upon
the regularity in mowing. If not closely mown the stronger grasses will overgrow the weaker, thus rendering the whole
patchy and unsightly. For forming new lawns, not less than sixty to one hundred pounds of seed are required per acre,
and for the renovation of old ones, half that quantity will give good results.

The most important thing to consider in selecting seed for lawn grass is to obtain a proper mixture of several
varieties for the reason that each variety is at its best during a certain part of the season. By properly choosing
early, medium and late grasses, a smooth, even, green lawn is assured from early spring to late autumn.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN LAWN GRASS MIXTURE— 1 quart pkg. postpaid, for 200 square feet of lawn, 35c; 5 lbs. $1.15

10 lbs $2.00

With the above facts in mind, our Lawn Grass Mixture is scientifically combined. Our experience of many
years has given us an intimate knowledge of grasses, their habits and requirements. In our Rocky Mountain
Lawn Grass Mixture are included only the very best varieties — pure, clean and free from foul seec.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN LAWN GRASS MIXTURE, WITH WHITE DUTCH CLOVER— 1 quart pkg. postpaid, 35c; 5 lbs.

$1.15; 10 lbs $2.00

As there are many people who like clover in a lawn, we put up a mixture as above; this mixture has gained us
many friends, and it is increasing in popularity.

Write for prices in large quantities.

SHADY PLACE LAWN GRASS— 1 lb. postpaid, 45c; 10 lbs $3.00

Usually it is quite difficult to obtain a satisfactory growth of grass under trees and in shady places. For sow-
ing in such places we recommend the use of this special mixture. It will quickly produce an abundant and even
growth of beautiful green grass. The grasses used in making this special mixture are those that are well
adapted for growing in shade.

Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry as to what

success we have had with your Rocky Mountain Lawn
Grass Seed, will say that we are enclosing herewith a
photo showing a portion of a residence lawn in this
city. This, we think, will be of interest to you, as
this is one of our Fall seeding. This was sown the
first day of September this year and the picture was
taken thirty days later. As you will notice in the pict-
ure there is a luxuriant growth and the grass is ready
for the first mowing. It is our belief that this mixture
is the best for lawn purposes in the Northwest.

Thanking you and wishing you continued success,
we are,

HAMMOND'S WEED KILLER — The method of killing weeds
thoroughly by application of this liquid has become general.
It is a great labor-saver. It is to be used only on paths,
drives, gutters and places where no growth is wanted. Best
time to apply is after rain, while the ground is moist, and
will absorb the liquid to the roots of grass and weeds. One
gallon will make 20 gallons of treating liquid, sufficient to
cover 100 square yards of surface.

About Montana Alfalfa— Montana produces a very fine grade of Alfalfa. The seed is usually exceptionally large
and of high germination. Montana grown Alfalfa is extremely hardy, and we prefer it to seed from any other locality.
Our seed is obtained in those sections where plants have endured the extreme cold of winter, and thrive in high alti-i
tures. Not only has our experience of several seasons demonstrated the superiority of this seed under adverse climatic
conditions throughout the entire Northwest, but more recent experiments of both the Minnesota and North Dakota
Agricultural Stations have established, without a doubt, the superior hardiness of Montana grown Alfalfa over that
produced elsewhere.

About Ordering Early — It may seem that we are unduly urgent in respect to sending orders early in the season,
but we are compelled to disappoint so many of our customers who wait until stocks are exhausted, that we can see
the great importance of attending to this matter as soon after the catalog is received as possible.

FACTS ABOUT ALFALFA.

Alfalfa produces from 3 to 7 tons of hay to the acre. It has as much protein as Wheat bran; 360 stalks have
been grown from one seed. It does not exhaust the soil, but enriches it. It can be ground into meal to feed hogs and
chickens. It will grow 2 to 3 crops a year.

Alfalfa in money value is worth 45 per cent more than other Clovers and 60 per cent more than Timothy. Ten
milch cows can be fed on less than 2' acres by soiling. One acre will pasture 20 hogs for six months.

Three pounds a day makes a full feed for fattening lambs. P'our to five pounds makes full feed for fattening

aged sheep. Thirty-five pounds makes a full feed for fattening steers.

A lamb will winter and thrive on 3 pounds a day. Sheep fed with Alfalfa will gain from 8 to 15 pounds in 75
days and will double, with sarnll grain ration added. Lambs wintered on Alfalfa will produce one to two pounds more
of wool than when on the range.

Alfalfa is a fine poultry feed when cut fine, and this is also a good way to feed it to hogs in winter. z

Fed to dairy cows, Alfalfa maintains the flow of milk equal to June grass for nearly a whole year. It can be
chopped fine with corn meal. Such a mixture is worth more per pound than the original corn meal.

Many interesting facts in addition to the above might be cited about Alfalfa. It would hardly be possible to

say too much about Alfalfa; it is a working plant which is changing the destiny of many farimng sections.

Its long branching roots penetrate far down, push and crowd the earth this way and that, and thus constitute
a gigantic subsoiler. These become an immense magazine of fertility. As soon as cut, they begin to decay a.nd lib-
erate the vast reservoir of fertilizing matter below the*plow, to be drawn upon by other crops for years to come.

Quantity of Alfalfa Seed to use per acre is governed by the method of seeding. If drilled in, use about 12 lbs.;
if broadcast, use 15 to 20 lbs.

York City.

ALFALFA (Medicazo Sativa)

ALFALFA— (Peerless). (State Fair First Premium Seed). 60 lb sealed bags $15.00

This exceptionally fine lot of seed was grown by Roberts and Brown at their ranch near Chinook, Blaine County,
Montana, and captured first premium against all Montana at the State Fair. Realizing that quality counts first
of all in purchasing seed and that our customers are among the most intelligent and demand the Best, we are
proud to have secured this premium seed for you and feel sure the whole lot of about 25,000 pounds will be
sold before seeding season arrives. May we send you sample with purity and germination.

ALFALFA— (1 'Peerless” Montana). (Best on Earth). (Lb. 40c, postpaid); 25 lbs. $6.50; 60-lb. sack $14.40

The seed is large and of high germination. Our seed is obtained in those sections where plants have endured
the extreme cold of winter and thrive at high altitudes. Our experience of several seasons has demonstrated
the superiority of this seed under adverse climatic conditions throughout the entire Northwest. We have several
cars of seed, from which orders will be filled until the stock is exhausted.

ALFALFA— (No. 1 Montana).. (Lb. 35c postpaid) ; 25 lbs, $5.50: 100 lbs $20.00

Experiments of many agricultural stations have established without a doubt the superior hardiness of Montana
grown alfalfa seed over that produced elsewhere. This grade is selected from among the best that grows, and is
next only to our “Peerless.” Samples cheerfully sent to intending purchasers: when writing for sample, please
state what quantity you expect to use, so that we may quote you the best possible price on the quantity you
need.

ALFALFA— (No. 2 Montana). Per 100 lbs $15.50

We will have, during the season, odd lots and small quantities of seed not quite good enough for our No. 1
or Peerless grade. Samples on request, with purity and germination.

ALFALFA — (Turkeston Alfalfa). (Lb. 35c, postpaid'!; 25 lbs. $5.25: 100 lbs $18 00

Many of the biggest ranches are using this variety, preferring it on account of its producing a finer hay. We
have secured a stock of this variety of high germination and purity, and warrant our seed to be the genuine
Turkestan, grown in Asia.

ALFALFA — (Montana Dev La^d). (Lb. postpaid 40c'); 25 lbs. $6.50: 100 lb^ $24.00

The extension of Alfalfa growing into the regions of limited rainfall has created a demand for Alfalfa seed
especially adapted to those conditions. Seed which has been produced from Alfalfa grown on dry land and
without irrigation is. of course, much preferable for dry land culture to seed produced under irrigation or
normal rainfall. It is not always possible to obtain seed grown under these conditions, but we have suc-
ceeded in purchasing a limtied amount of fine seed which is offered only until our stock is exhausted.

Tn case we do not have Dry Land Alfalfa when your order is received, we suggest that you state on vour
order as to what varietv we may substitute in its place, of equal quality, to the value of the money you send ns.

ALFALFA — (Kansas). Per 100 lbs $15.50

Owing to the very dry season in Kansas last year, there were some very fine lots of alfalfa seed saved, in ordnr
to have a low price high grade seed to offer, we secured some of the finest grown for our customers. Write
us for sample of this Seed, with germination and purity tests, stating quantity you can use.

This is claimed by many to be the hardiest of all Alfalfa.

CLOVER

CLOVER— (Medium Red). (Lb. postpaid. 40c) : 25 lbs. $5.50:

100 lbs : $20.00

Looking to the future, no time should be lost in intro-
ducing the bacilli of the Red and Alfalfa Clovers. The
use of nitro cultures may tend to hasten their estab-
lishment, but nature’s way, and the best way, is to use
a small quantity of seed, say a pound or two each of
Red and Alfalfa Clover to the acre with whatever crop
you are seeding. After a little you have the prized
bacilli in your land, then you may safely call your
farm doubled in value from a producing standpoint.
Red Clover is regarded as the most important of the
whole genus for practical agriculture; valuable not
only for forage, but also as a fertilizer for the soil.
Long, powerful tap-roots, which in decaying add
largely to that black mass of matter we call soil.
Makes excellent hay, and can be cut twice a year. Sow
12 to 15 pounds to the acre.

CLOVER — (Alsike or Swedish). (Lb. postpaid, 40c! ; 25 lbs.

$6.25: 100 lbs $23.50

This Clover originally came from the little Province of
Alsike in Sweden. One of the hardiest varieties
known: is perennial and does not winter kill: stands,
alike drouth or wet. We know of many who have
used Alsike Clover to sow in boggy land, making this
land produce a crop or pasturage and at the same
time enabling it to be driven over, as the mass of roots
make a heavy sod. Favorite with bee-keepers. Flowers
with sweet, agreeable odor. Sow 8 to 10 lbs. to the acre.

CLOVER — (White Dutch). (Lb. postpaid. 50c! : 25 lbs. $9.00
Excellent for pasture, and when mixed with Kentucky
Blue Grass, makes the finest and most nutritious food
for sheep and cows; used universally for lawns in the
United States. Sow 5 to 8 pounds to the acre, alone for
pasture; for lawn, 1 lb. to 400 square feet.

(Prices Quoted are F. O. B.

CLOVER — (Crimson Clover). (Lb. postpaid, 35c) ; 25 lbs.

; 100 lbs

An annual variety in common use in Italy and south-
ern France for feeding green. Also grown largely in
this country in Virginia, where it is called “German
Clover,” and we think would do well in our western
states. Two or four weeks earlier than the Red Clover
and for that reason is more desirable. Immense
yielder of fodder. Commences to grow at once after
cutting, and continues to do so until frost. Height
1% feet; roots nearly black; blossoms long and of
deep carmine color. Makes good hay.

CLOVER — (Sweet White Blossom). (Lb. 35c, postpaid) :

100 lbs $23.00

As Sweet Clover can be grown under conditions
which are unfavorable to most forage or grazing
crops, it is destined to become quite popular in our
non-irrigated pasture lands. This fact has caused our
Agricultural Colleges to recommend it very highly.
There have been more inquiries for Sweet Clover Seed
in the past few weeks than in all our years in busi-
ness in Montana.

Same family as Alfalfa. Adapted to lisrht, chalky soils,
sands, gravels and barren regions deficient in rainfall
and without irrigation advantages. Shorter lived plant
than Alfalfa, but will last from 8 to 10 years, accord-
ing to soil, bv judicious top dressing of manure. It
is excellent for cows, increasing flow and quality of
milk. Would advise early and heavy seeding. Follow
with roller. Sow seed 2 inches deep, and from 30 to
40 lbs. per acre.

TIMOTHY

TIMOTHY — (“Peerless”). (Lb. postpaid, 20c) ; 25 lbs. $2.00;

100 lbs - $6.50

As a crop for hay, Timothy is probably unsurpassed by
any other grass. It is greatly relished by all kinds of
stock, especially horses. It yields more nutritive mat-
ter than any other grass or forage plant. It is not
suited for a permanent pasture, as it will, in the course
of a few years, run out. It is, however, well adapted
to early spring grazing, as it starts up quickly in the
spring, and in favorable weather can be pastured
in the autumn as well. The largest crops of hay are
raised on rich land. It is not suited for light, sandy
soil so well as some other grasses. The most impor-
tant point in the growing of Timothy is the selection
of good seed. Poor seed, besides containing weed seed,
will not all grow. That which does germinate is
weak and produces few stalks and seed heads. It should
not take an intelligent farmer long to figure the wis-
dom of investing his time and money in reliable seed,
and that means Peerless brand. Only ten pounds of
this grade required to the acre when sown alone.

TIMOTHY — (No. 1). (Lb. postpaid, 20c); 25 lbs. $1.75;

100 lbs , $5.75

This grade, like the above, is the plump native grown
seed, unequaled by the stocks of most eastern firms.
If you use large lots, write for special price, stating
quantity you expect to use.

TIMOTHY — (Alsike Clover and Timothy Mixed). (Lb.

postpaid, 30c) ; 25 lbs $4.00; 100 lbs $12.00

Where Alsike Clover and Timothy are grown together,
and the seed is saved therefrom, it is impossible in
cleaning to make a complete separation of the two. On
this account we purchase the seed for less money and
we can sell it for less money than would be the case if
a perfect separation could be made. Those desiring to
sow Alsike and Timothy together can save consider-
able money by buying the seed of these two varieties
together as originally harvested. This makes a splen-
did mixture for hay or pasture, with just enough
Alsike Clover to make splendid hay for horses or dairy
cows. Sow about 8 to 10 lbs. to acre.

RED TOP

RED TOP — (Solid Seed). (Lb. postpaid, 40c) ; 25 lbs. $7.75;

100 lbs $30.00

A valuable grass for moist soils. It is a good perma-
nent grass, standing our climate as well as any other,
and consequently well adapted to our pastures, in
which it should be fed close, for if allowed to grow up
to seed, the cattle refuse it. On moist, rich soil it
will grow 2 feet, and on poor gravelly soil, about half
that height. It has been grown successfully even on
“alkali” bottom lands, where other grasses failed. We
do not handle the chaffy grade of Red Top, and offer
only the clean seed. Sow 15 pounds to the acre.

BLUE GRASS

BLUE GRASS — (Kentucky Peerless). (Lb. postpaid 40c) :

10 lbs. $3.00; 100 lbs $18.00

We wish to call particular attention to the cleanliness
of our Blue Grass. As usually sold by most seedsmen
it weighs 19 to 20 lbs. to the measured bushel. Our
seed is so thoroughly recleaned that a measured bushel
weighs 25 lbs.

BLUE GRASS — (Kentucky. Fancy Recleaned). (Lb. post-
paid, 30c); 10 lbs. $2.00; 100 lbs $15.50

Used extensively for lawns and parking streets; also
makes excellent pasture or hay.

We can make good use of Parcel Post on small
machinery such as grass seeders, sprayers, garden tools
and repairs. They take regular zone rates which you
can figure from the Zone Table. Some day may be the
seeds, bulbs and plants will be counted in with other
merchandise and if you hear that has been done, you
can have them sent at zone rates.

BROME GRASS

BROME GRASS — (Bromus Inermis). (Lb. postpaid 30c) ;

25 lbs. $4.00; 100 lbs $15.00

A wonderful drouth resister. A grass for the stock
raiser. All cattle like it. Will drive out Russian
Thistle, also Black Mustard. Drouth defying, frost re-
sisting. Yields enormous crops of splendid hay and
affords early and abundant pasturage. We have seen
some very fine crops of Brome Grass and Alfalfa
mixed, which makes an excellent hay for horses and
cattle. Try it. These both mature and cure at the
same time. Our Peerless grade of this magnificent
grass is unequalled for purity and high germination,
and less seed is required to the acre than any other
grade. From good seed, good crops grow. If sown
alone, 20 lbs to the acre.

ORCHARD GRASS

ORCHARD GRASS— (Lb. postpaid, 30c); 25 lbs., $4.75: 100

lbs $18.00

A valuable grass for pasture or hay land, and on ac-
count of its earliness is very valuable for a permanent
pasture. It furnishes the first green grass in the
spring and until late in the fall. When closely crop-
ped it grows up very quickly and is ready for graz-
ing again in ten to twelve days. When grown for hay,
more than one crop can be obtained in one season, and
when only one crop is cut the aftergrowth is very
heavy and gives splendid and rich pasture till late in
the fall. It will stand drouth and is hardy. It grows
in tufts, and is therefore best sown with Red Clovers,
rye grass, etc. It is well suited for shady places, such
as orchards and groves. Sow 22 lbs. to the acre when
alone or proportionately with other grasses.

RYE GRASS

PERENNIAL RYE GRASS— (Lb. postpaid 25c); 25 lbs.,

$3.00; 100 lbs . : $11.00

A strong-growing, hardy perennial grass, valuable both
for grazing and hay. Also makes a fine lawn and does
not require the close care that Blue Grass does, as it
will flourish better under trees or in shady locations.
For field crop sow 40 to 50 pounds to the acre.

MILLETS

MILLET, GERMAN — (Tennessee Grown Seed). (Lb. post-
paid, 20c); 25 lbs. $1.75; 100 lbs $6.00

In the North Millet is sown almost altogether for hay,
and for that purpose Southern grown seed is much
the best. It grows taller than does that from North-
ern seed, and that means more hay. It is finer than
that from Northern seed, and that means better hay.
In fact,. it is our judgment, based on an experience of
many years that a farmer had better, from the stand-
point of profit alone, pay $2.00 a bushel for true
Southern grown German Millet than to sow the best
Northern Millet as a gift. Millet seed produced in the
North, even from Southern seed, becomes what we call
Common Millet. Not only does the plant change in
character, becoming coarser and much more dwarf,
but the seed itself shows a change and is readily
distinguished by those experienced in handling it.

MILLET, HUNGARIAN— (Dark Seed). (Lb. postpaid, 20c) ;

25 lbs. $1.50; 100 lbs $5.25

Many regard this as being better even than German
Millet, as it is about one week earlier and requires less
moisture. The hay is fine and of excellent feeding
value. It is specially valuable on account of its re-
quiring such a short season to make a fine crop. It
can be sown as late as the 4th of July with good re-
sults in ordinary seasons. Hungarian Millet does not
grow so coarse as some other varieties, but still yields
quite heavily, from two to four tons of hay to the
acre being an ordinary crop. Hay is quite leafy, of
very fine quality.

MILLET, SIBERIAN OR KURSK MILLET — (Lb. post-
paid, 20c); 25 lbs. $1.75; 100 lbs $6.00

This variety was first introduced into the United States
from Kursk, Russia, in 1898. Extensive experiments
were conducted at both the South Dakota trial stations
which demonstrated the superiority of this new vari-
ety. As both a hay and seed producer it ranks very
high. In dry seasons the weight and quality of the
hay have been far ahead of German or Hungarian Mil-
let. In favorable years the difference has not been so
great, but the results have always been in favor of
Kursk Millet. In a moist soil and under favorable
conditions the German Millet usually gives a little
larger yield. We have a fine supply of excellent
quality.

MILLET. HOG OR BROOM CORN— (Lb. postpaid 15c); 25

lbs. $1.75; 100 lbs 86.00

This is grown for the same purpose for which other
Millets are sown, but makes inferior hay unless cut
very young. It, however, yields enormously of seed,
even 60 to 70 bushel's to the acre, and this seed is very
advantageously used for fattening swine and other
stock, and is of special value for this purpose in sec-
tions where corn cannot be safely or cheaply grown,
seed also makes very fine feed for poultry or young
chicks. It is very similar to the Early Fortune Millet,
except that the seed is yellowish-white in color. It
will mature in about two months from sowing the seed.

MILLET, JAPANESE — (Improperly Called “Billion Dollar
Grass”)- (Lb. postpaid 25c); 10 lbs. $1.00; 100 lbs. $10.00
Entirely distinct from all other Millets. It grows from
6 to 9 feet high, stands up remarkably and yields enor-
mous crops. When cured it makes good hay and in
quality is superior to corn fodder. It is relished by
all kinds of stock.

FIELD CORN

CORN— (Rustler White Dent). Lb. postpaid, 20c) ; by ex-
press or freight
lb. 15c; 10 lbs. 85c;
50 lbs $3.00

This Early White
Dent (14 to 18
rows) was ob-
tained from a few
kernels in the
autumn of 1885
by a Dakota
farmer who stat-
ed that he had
matured it in
that state for

WHITE CAP

YELLOW

seven successive
years; that it was
the only corn in
his section that
could show such
a record. For
early ripening,
great yield and
compact growth
of ears, it is one
of the best; ad-
mirably adapted
to a northern cli-
mate. Average
height of stalk, 8
feet; average dis-
tance base of ear
from ground. 3
feet 6 inches.
Those wishing a
first class White
Dent Corn will
find in the Rust-
ler a hard corn to
match.

CORN — (Triumph, Extra Early Yellow Flint). Lb. post-
paid, 20c); by express or freight, lb. 15c; 10 lbs,

85c; 50 lbs $3.00

Is a very early flint variety, very bright yellow in
color, maturing in from 90. to 100 days from day of
planting, according to soil and season. Ears average
about IT inches in length and are 14 and 16 rowed. Oc-
casionally a twTelve-rowed ear is found. The kernels
are large and the stalks are of good height. The ears
average two to a stalk, growing well up so as to readily
admit being cut by the harvester. The stalks grow
very tall and leafy and make superior fodder.
Directions for Planting — The habit of this corn allows
of close planting. The, largest crops of both corn and
fodder will be- secured by planting in rows, dropping
the kernels one at a time one foot apart. If it is de-
sired to cultivate both ways, plant in hills about 3
feet 8 inches apart.

CORN — (Minnesota No. 23, or White Cap Yellow Denf).

(lb. postpaid, 20c) ; by express or freight, lb. 15c; 10

lbs. 85c; 50 lbs r....-..7....$3.00

The wonderful new corn. Highly recommended by the
Agricultural Colleges.

CORN— (Early Northwestern Dent). (Lb. postpaid, 20c) ;

by express or freight, lb. 15c; 10 lbs. 85c; 50 lbs $3.25

This corn is in a class by itself, being a yellow capped
red Dent variety and is one of the most largely growm
varieties m" North Dakota and the northern part of
Minnesota. It is extremely early and quickly adapts
itself to new soil and climatic conditions. It gives
nest results on a fairly rich soil. Under ordinary con-
ditions the average height of stalk of this corn is 7
feet 8 inches; average distance of base of ear from
ground, 3 feet 5 inches. The ears bear 10 to 14 rows.
Our supply of seed of this variety usually runs out
early in the season, consequently send your orders
early.

CORN — (Minnesota No. 13 — Extra Early Yellow Dent). (Lb.
postpaid, 20c); by express or freight, 15c; 10 lbs. 85c;

50 lbs $3.25

The commanding points of excellence which place
Minnesota No. 13 Corn at the head of all Yellow Dent
varieties for northern planting are: Its earliness, its
enormous productiveness, its adaptability to a great
variety of soils and climates. The ears are of hand-
some appearance, bearing 16 to 30 rows of bright, rich,
yellow, smooth, wedge-shaped kernels packed closely
on the cob from butt to tip. The ears average eight
inches in length and are borne usually two on a stalk.
No corn excels in quality the Minnesota No. 13; the cobs
are well filled and the individual kernels plump and
of good color. Minnesota No. 13 thoroughly matures in
90 days when planted on favorable soil and in good
location, but 95 to 100 days places it out of danger un-
der average conditions. A variety of corn which will
showT such valuable characteristics is an acquisition
on any farm, especially for planting in the Northwest
where early frosts are common.

CORN — (Sanford White Flint). (Lb. postpaid, 20c ; by ex-
press or freight, 15c; 10 lbs $3.25

CORN — (King Philip). (Lb. postpaid 20c) ; by express

or^freight 15c; 10 lbs. 85c; 50 lbs $3.25

An 'extra early red flint, valuable for the north; ma-
tures in 90 days. A sure cropper on poor land. Ears
8-rowed and from 9 to 12 inches long.

Growing Corn in Montana — You can safely take any of
the varieties listed here and, with fair treatment, success
will attend your efforts. Corn yields high returns per
acr-e, and so is a profitable crop to grow7. It is high in fat
and starch which feeds, coupled with the splendidly cured
alfalfa and clover of Montana, give an almost ideal ration.
A second point not to be overlooked in the value of corn
is crop rotation. Being planted in rows, it permits of
inter-tillage, which helps to keep the weeds down, bring-
ing about best possible plant food conditions. Weeds are
a troublesome pest in many sections of this state, and any
crops that can be profitably handled and yet reduce the
ravages of weeds ought to have a place in the rotation.

SORGHUM OR SUGAR CANE

PEAS

Note the wide range of
uses to which Sorghum
may be put, and its great
value in each case. As a
soiling crop, Sorghum
will always prove of
great value, since at least
two crops can be ob-
tained from one sowing.
Milch cows are excep-
tionally fond of Sorghum
— it is excellent for milk
production and a given
area furnishes a large
quantity of succulent
lood. As a pasture crop
for cattle, sheep and
swine it has no superior.
As a fodder crop it fur-
nishes an enormous
amount of feed; utilized
as a pasture, as a soiling
and fodder crop, it may
be made to furnish feed
nearly the whole year
round. Sorghum can be
profitably grown in all
tillable portions of the
United States that wUl
produce corn, and will withstand drouth better than corn.
The quantity of seed to be sown to the acre depends on
climatic conditions and upon the mode of planting. If
sown broadcast, or even with a grain drill, all tubes in
use, 50 to 60 pounds of seed to the acre will usually suffice.
When grown in single rows with a space between them, a
less quantity of seed than above stated will suffice, de-
pending upon the distance between the rows.

SORGHUM, (Minnesota) — (Early Amber Cane). (Lb. post-
paid, 25c); by express or freight, lb. 15c; 10 lbs, $1.25;

100 lbs $8.00

This is the earliest, richest and altogether the best sort
for Northern latitudes, and is the only variety which
can be relied upon for sugar or syrup. It produces
a rich, clear syrup for which Minnesota has become
famous, the usual yield being from 150 to 260 gallons
an acre. The yield of seed is also large, amounting
to 20 to 25 bushels an acre. As a fodder plant we
believe this excels the Southern Cane, as it is sweeter,
contains more nutriment and is more relished by
s tock*

CORN — (Kaffir Corn, White Seeded). (Lb. postpaid, 20c) ;
by express or freight, lb. 10c; 10 lbs. 75c; 100 lbs. ...$4.25
An excellent fodder plant, yielding two crops of fod-
der during the season. It grows 4 to 5 feet high, mak-
ing a straight upright growth. The stem or stalk
bears numerous wide leaves. The stalks are brittle and
juicy, not hardening like other varieties of Sorghum.
It makes excellent fodder, either green or dry, which
is highly relished by cattle and all kinds of stock. The
seed crop is also heavy, sometimes 50 to 60 bushels to
the acre. For grain, sow in rows 3 feet apart, 3 to 5
pounds of seed to the acre. For fodder, sow % to 1
bushel, either broadcast or in drills.

POP CORN (White Rice)

POP CORN — (Lb. 25c, postpaid) ; by express or freight, lb.

15c; 10 lbs ; $1.00

Plant at the rate of 10 to 15 lbs to the acre and closely.
We have a very choice lot of this Popcorn carefully
chosen and tested for seed purposes.

Its Profitable Uses — 1st. It yields of shocked corn of
the very best feeding value at the rate of 8 to 10 tons
an acre. 2nd. The small ears which mature early are
very valuable for pigs, calves and young stock gener-
ally, especially during the fall and winter months. 3rd.
The yield of ear corn to the acre is quite equal to any
of the larger and later varieties.

Kaffir Corn.

“Peas could be made to bring more nitrogen to the
soils of this country every year than is now purchased an-
nually by the farmers at the cost of millions of dollars.” —
Year Book of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The
above statement, coming as it does from a reliable source,
gives the progressive farmers of this great Northwest
something to think about. Grain has been grown year
after year on many farms, sapping the life and fertility of
the soil. Here is a crop which is not only profitable, but
will return to the land the much-needed nitrogen. Peas
are second only to clover in their soil-enriching properties
and can be grown under almost any conditions of soil or
climate. There is always a ready market for peas, or they
can be profitably ground and fed to stock. The vines make
rich, nutritious hay. If fed to milch cows, when in a green
state, pods, vines and all, the flow of milk will be almost
doubled. Peas are a paying crop and can be profitably
planted in many ways. When sown alone about three
bushels are required to the acre. They can be matured
and threshed when dry. The yield will vary from 30 to 60
bushels an acre.

PEAS — (Canada). (Lb. postpaid, 20c); 25 lbs. $1.50; 100

lbs $4.00

PEAS — (White Marrowfat). (Lb. postpaid, 20c) ; 10 lbs.
$1.00; 100 lbs. $4.00. Write for samples and price in
ton lots.

These large handsome Peas are equally as profitable
to grow as a field crop and on account of their size are
saleable at all times at the top of the market, as well
as providing the table with an extra good pea during
summer. Very heavy yielder, producing from 40 to 60
bushels per acre; these peas being softer than the
Canada Pea, are preferred by hogs or stock. Many
growers are increasing their acreage of these peas,
considering this variety the best and most profitable.

VETCHES

WINTER VETCH
$16 to $40 an acre. Sow

VETCHES— (Sand or Winter
Vetch, Vicia Villosa). (Lb.
postpaid, 25c) ; 10 lbs. $1.30;

100 lbs $11.50

Sometimes called Hairy
Vetch. This is a very valu-
able forage plant and is rap-
idly becoming popular each
year as the farmers are
learning more of its great
value for forage and fertil-
izing purposes. It succeeds
well on nearly all soils and
thrives surprisingly on poor,
light land and well stands
extreme of drouth, heat and
cold. It improves the soil,
being a great nitrogen gath-
erer. It belongs to the pea
family, but the vines are
much longer and the foliage
is more abundant. May be
sown with about half bushel
of rye or oats for support.
It grows rapidly and is par-
ticularly valuable in sections
where clover does not thrive.
The Department of Agricul-
ture estimates the value of
an acre of this Vetch plowed
under, equal to commercial
fertilizer at the rate of from
60 to 90 lbs. to the acre.

VETCH — (Spring). (Lb. postpaid, 20c); 10 lbs. 75c; 100

lbs $6.50

Used for the same purpose as the Sand or Winter
Vetch. This variety requires a good soil, is frequently
sown with oats or barley, with which it makes excel-
lent feed.

MILO MAIZE

MILO MAIZE — Lb. postpaid 20c

A non-saccharine sorghum useful for the large amount
of foliage, green feed or cured fodder that it furnishes
and for its grain. Sow in spring, using 6 to 8 lbs. per
acre.

SOJA BEAN

SOJA BEAN— Lb., postpaid . 25c

Valuable as a forage crop or green manure. Also as a
green fodder and silo plant. Sow 30 pounds per acre
after danger from frost is passed.

WHIPPOORWILL PEAS

WHIPPOORWILL PEAS— Lb., postpaid 20c

This variety is a great favorite in the West and South
as a green manure and fodder pea. Is early and grows
upright. Makes a good growth of vine, which can be
easily cut. Sow 80 pounds per acre broadcast if for
green manure or if for fodder sow in rows 3 feet apart
using 40 pounds per acre.

FLAX

FLAX — (Russian). (Lb. postpaid, 20c) ; by express or

freight, 10c; 100 lbs $5.50

The standard sort used in the Northwest. It is a rare
sight now to see a lot of flax which does not contain
mustard. It requires special machinery to make seed
of any grain and this is especially true of Flax. Glean-
ing flax so as to make it “right” for seed is a somewhat
expensive operation and involves a very considerable
waste. But write for sample, use the magnifying glass,
and compare it with flax from the farm or elevator
and judge for yourself if our seed is not worth to you
all it costs. Spray your flax with formaldehyde before
seeding. The best sprayers for this purpose are illus-
trated and described under Sprayers.

SALT BUSH

AUSTRALIAN SALT BUSH— Pkt. 10c; (lb. 11.00 postpaid)
Thrives on Alkali — The many thousands of acres of
alkali lands of the West* may be made productive and
profitable by planting salt bush. Cattle, horses, sheep
and swine eat it and thrive on it. It flourishes where
grasses and other forage plants will not grow and fur-
nishes enormous quantities of nutritive food for stock.
From 10 to 20 tons of green fodder have been harvested
from one acre. Single plants grown on the worst
alkali land have reached a diameter of 16 feet in one
season. It succeeds everywhere, and there seems to
be no question but that it will in time eliminate alkali
from the ground, rendering it suitable for other crops.
One lb. of seed will plant an acre.

Directions for Planting — Sow 2 to 3 lbs. of seed to an
acre in the spring before a rain if possible, or irri-
gate well on well pulverized soil and cover it lightly
(about one-eighth of an inch) with a light harrow
or brush. The plants may also be grown in boxes or
garden bed, covering the seed lightly, and planting
the seedlings where desired, when from 2 to 3 inches
high, 6 to 10 feet apart. If the weather is dry when
transplanting, supply a little water to each plant.

SUNFLOWER

SUNFLOWER — (Mammoth Russian). (Lb. postpaid, 25c) ;

10 lbs $1.25

Single heads measure 15 to 22 inches in diameter, and
contain an immense amount of seed, which is highly
valued by all farmers and poultry breeders who have
tried it as an excellent and cheap food for fowls. It is
the best egg producing food known for poultry. It
can be raised cheaper than corn, and is destined to be
an article of great value.

RAPE

RAPE — (Dwarf Essex). (Lb. postpaid, 25c); 10 lbs. $1.25;

25 lbs. $2.75; 50 lbs $4.50

Uses of Dwarf Essex Rape — Dwarf Essex Rape thrives
best on a good soil, rich in vegetable matter. Slough
lands are excellent. This plant may be grown success-
fully in the following ways, viz: 1. In the early spring,
to provide pasture. 2. In June or July, on well pre-
pared land to provide pasture. 3. Along with grain,
using 2 lbs. of seed an acre, to provide pasture for
sheep after harvest. 4. Along with peas, oats, clover
seed, to provide pasture and to get a “catch” of clover.
5. As a cover in the orchard for winter protection to
avoid root-killing. 6. In corn, sowing the seed with
the last cultivation; the succulent feed produced may
save the loss of cattle by corn stalk disease. Prevention
is better than medicine in regard to this fatal disease.

7. Along with rye, sown in August, in sheep pasture.

8. On early plowed fields to shade the land and so that
the soil will not leach, wash or drift. 9. To plow un-
der as a green crop, adding humus to. the soil, an ele-
ment needed in grain growing sections. When rape is
sown broadcast, 5 lbs. of seed an acre will suffice.
When sown in rows, say thirty inches apart, and culti-
vated, from 1 to 2 lbs, an acre will be enough.

BUCKWHEAT

SILVER HULL BUCKWHEAT — (Lb. postpaid, 20c) ; 40

lbs 80c

This valuable variety originated abroad and is a de-
cided improvement on the old black or gray sort. It is
early, remains longer in bloom than other sorts. A
fine variety for honey bees. The grain is of a beau-
tiful light gray color, and has a thin husk. Millers
prefer Silver Hull, there being less waste and it makes
whiter, better and more nutritious flour than other
varieties. Silver Hull is more productive and the grain
meets with a more ready sale, bringing higher prices
than the Japanese. Under favorable conditions it will
yield 40 to 50 bushels an acre.

BIRD SEED

Hulless Barley.

BARLEY— (White Hulless). (Lb. postpaid, 15c); 100 lbs., $2.60
Its Valuable Properties — It is hulless; it is beardless; it is
very early; it weighs over 60 pounds to the measured bushel;
it yields well on poor land; it yields enormously on good
land; it makes better pork than corn; the straw makes good
hay; it is of inestimable value to every one who feeds stock.
It is often grown for hay, coming very early and providing
rich food. It should be cut just before it becomes ripe and
while the straw is green. In this condition it is relished
by all kinds of stock. The straw is stiff and straight, and
seldom if ever does it lodge. Use 50 lbs. of seed to the
acre if sown on dry land for a grain crop.

SPBLTZ OR EMMER — (Lb. postpaid, 15c); 100 lbs $2.75

Pacts About Speltz — It resists drouth; it thrives on . poor
lands, in stony ground, in forest regions, on the prairies;
it makes a crop with almost any condition of soil and cli-
mate; endures a great deal of frost; is not readily damaged
by harvest rains; is not susceptible to rust or smut; yields
more than oats; yields more than wheat; yields more than
barley; makes better feed than barley; the straw is used for
fattening stock; the stubble makes good fertilizer; stock eat
both grain and straw. Ripens very early.

WHEAT

WHEAT — (Durum or Macaroni Spring Kubanka).

SPRING WHEAT — Write for sample and price.

MARQUIS WHEAT — The wheat you will eventually buy. Un-
questionably the best wheat for the Northwest. Matures
a week to ten days earlier than Red Fife; yields 15 to 20
bushels an acre more than Red Fife, and for milling pur-
poses grades No. 1 hard. Kernel is hard and flinty, a little
darker than Red Fife and more plump than that variety.
It is beardless, having smooth yellow chaff. Marquis
Wheat is the earliest, hardiest and heaviest yielding Spring
Wheat adapted for Northwestern conditions.

WINTER WHEAT — (Club). (Lb. postage, 15c); 100 lbs. $2.50

We have a fine stock of this exceptionally fine wheat; for
general purposes we prefer this to Turkey Red. See what
Mr. Hatfield’s yields have been in the Testimonial below.
We shall be glad to send samples and give special quotations
on large quantities.

Maudlow, Montana, Oct. 25, 1913.
STATE NURSERY CO., Helena Mont.

Gentlemen — As you asked in regard to Club Wheat, will
say that I have raised Winter Club Wheat for the last five
years and the lowest average has been 30 bushels per acre on
dry land, and have raised as much as 45 bushels per acre.
Ninety-three acres average 40 bushels per acre this year and
it is not a good even stand.

I sow from four to five pecks per acre, and consider from
August 10th to September 1st the best time to seed.

Yours respectfully, B. O. HATFIELD,

FORMALDEHYDE

FORMALDEHYDE — The loss to the farmers of the United States
from smut and other fungus diseases of wheat, barley, oats
and other grains amounts to millions of dollars every year.
The spores or seed of the fungus are on the seed grain which
you plant; when the grain sprouts and grows this fungus
grows, too; it follows up through the stalk into the blade and
into the ear, and the result is blighted plant, smut grains and
a diseased yield of inferior quality. The same holds true of
scab, which has proved such a blight to the Irish potato
crop. Can you afford to use it? The price of a bushel of
wheat expended for Formaldehyde will add several bushels
to the next harvest. It takes as much land and labor to raise
a light crop as a heavy one. Sold in bottles.

The Plant on the Right Shows the Results of Using Mulford’^

Nitro-Germ.

THE MULFORD NITRO — GERM — Follow Nature’s own plan of

increasing the fertility of the soil by growing leguminous
crops. Stimulate their growth and increase their yield by
using The Mulford Nitro-Germ. It forms nodules on
the roots of leguminous plants. These nodules will con-
vert nitrogen from the air into nitrates, suitable as food for
the plants. Available nitrates help the growth and devel-
opment of legumes and other plants, and increase the yield.
Legumes enrich and renovate the soil and are rich in food
value for man and beast. The cost of seed or soil inocula-
tion with the Mulford Nitro-Germ is small — the returns are
large.

The Mulford Nitro-Germ is supplied for inoculating the fol-
lowing legumes (a specific strain of bacteria for each differ-
ent legume): Alfalfa (Lucerne); Crimson Clover; Sweet

Clover, White Clover, Red Clover; Alsikfe Clover; Mammoth
Clover; Burr Clover, Yellow Clover; Berseem Clover; Cow
Peas; Soy Beans; Canada Field Peas; Peanuts; Spring Vetch;
Winter Vetch; Horse Beans; Velvet Beans; Perennial Peas;
Sweet Peas; Garden Peas; Garden Beans; Lima Beans;'
Lupins; Sanfoin, Beggar Weed, and others. The Mulford
Nitro-Germ for the different legumes listed above in
heavy-face type can be shipped immediately from stock. The
others will be prepared to order and can be supplied in a
few days. Easy to use; requires no special knowledge, no
previous experience, no special implements. Three sizes:

ROUGH RIDfffl

The growing and handling of seed
potatoes is an important branch of
our business. All the standard varieties
we have especially grown for us by the
most experienced and reliable ranchers
in this vicinity.

EARLY OHIO — Very early pink with
white flesh.

EARLY SIX WEEKS — A popular early
white fleshed variety.

ROUGHRIDER — (Or Hammond). Good main cropper.
Any of the above varieties —

50 lbs $1.50

100 lbs $2.50

PARIS GREEN — Most effective Potato Bug killer known; sure death to all insects which
eat foliage. Put up in sealed packages. Use 1 oz to 3 gallons of water or 1 lb. to
50 for Potato Bugs, or 1 oz. to 6 gallons of water, or 1 lb. to 100 for spraying trees.
We are the largest dealers in Paris Green in the State and carry the Ansbacher and
Sherwin-Williams brands — the standards of purity.

% lb. cans (postpaid), 15c; y2 lb. cans, (postpaid) 25c; 1 lb. cans (postpaid), 40c;

5 lb. cans, (postpaid), $1.75. Write for prices in larger quantities.

ARSENATE OP LEAD — This is a stomach poison which is rapidly taking the place of
Paris Green. Its great advantages are that it adheres well to the foliage and hence
the spraying does not have to be repeated, as it does not readily wash off with rain.

I lb. 30c; 5 lbs, (postpaid) $1.40

Use 1 lb. in 16 gallons of water. Write for prices in large quantities.

DRY POWDERED ARSENATE OP DEAD — This material contains from 31 to 33 per cent
arsenic — the killing agent. Being light and flury, it stays in suspension and covers
the foliage evenly. Its adhesiveness is unsurpassed. Growers appreciate its con-
venience, safety and economy.

y2 lb. pkgs. 30c; 1 lb. pkgs. (Postpaid) 50c

TUBER TONIC — This material is a three-in-one spray for potatoes, designed to kill
leaf-eating insects, prevent and eradicate blight, and act as an indirect tonic to the
plant. Tuber-Tonic will prove most economical to the farmer who has in the past
sprayed with Bordeaux Mixture to which has been added either Arsenate of Lead or
Paris Green. Growers will find Tuber- Tonic safe to use on the most delicate fol-
iage. Fewer sprayings are necessary because of its great adhesiveness.

ure to feed the plant.

importance of the
money it will save them.

is fitted up with leaf
guards and tooth at-
tachment. The 8%-inch

THE SIMPLEX SPRAYER

This is without question
the most economical ma-
chine of its kind on the
market. It is the first and
only Compressed Air
Sprayer maintaining a
high pressure in the tank,
regardless of the amount
of liquid contained therein.
The pumping is done while
in operation; thus replac-
ing pressure as fast as the
liquid is being used. The
only way this can be ob-
tained is by making the
pump in a portable relation
to the tank. This is one of
the most important feat-
ures in the “SIMPLEX”
sprayer, because the pres-
sure is under perfect con-
trol at all times. One tube
brings the air into the tank
and the other forces the
solution to the Nozzle. This
is why the “SIMPLEX”
sprayer is so convenient
and easy to operate.

The “SIMPLEX” Sprayer
has been indorsed and is
recommended by the lead-
ing Agricultural Experi-
ment Stations in the
United States. It is guar-
anteed to give entire sat-
isfaction. The purchase
price will be refunded or a
new sprayer replaced with-
in ten days after receipt of
machine, if failing to give
satisfaction. This is a
much broader guarantee
than that made by other
manufacturers in this line.

senate of Lead, Paris
