Evergreen Lawn

Grass Seed

A Lawn in Country Club, Kansas City's Most BtautiM Residence District.

Is the purest, ^leanest and heaviest

lawn grass seed that can be obtained.
Special care is taken in selecting seeds
of Strong germinatiou and tree from
weed seeds. ' 1

A smooth, velvety lawn surrounding
a house adds not only to the value, but
enhances the enjoyment of every home,
whether it be in the city, town or coun-
try. When properly matte. : lawn is

the’ best investment a home owner can
make. . The following suggestions may
lie of benefit, especially to those who
are about to make a new lawn.

A lawn may be made in two ways, by
sodding or by sowing seed. Sodding is
not only very expensive but unsatis-
factory as well. Sods are ordinarily
taken from the pastures or along the
roadside and almost invariably contain
weed seeds and coarse, tufty grasses
which make their appearance after the’
lawn is made. Seeding is not only
cheaper, but is attended with better re-
sults.

COUNTRY CU B “KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS.” COUNTRY CLUB “SHADY NOOK” LAWN GRASS SEED

In the spring of the year there are in most every lawn
thin and bare spots which are caused _by ' ice and ex-
posure during the cold winter months. These spots nlT?,
be renewed by resowing Kentucky Blue Grass seed. In
fact, to keep a lawn in good condition. Kentucky Blue
Grass should be sowed twice a year both in the fall and
early spring.

COUNTRY CLUB “WHITE CLONE R.”

We do not use white clover in any of our lawn grass
mixtures, as a great many people do not care to have it
on their lawns. .However, it is used extensively for lawn
purposes and will thrive in poor soil with little or no
attention. When well established it is hard to. kill out
and will often times take other grasses when it gets a
good start.

Price, by mail postpaid, per lb., 65c; by express or
freight at purchaser’s expense, per lb., 60c; 5 lbs." for
$2.S5. Special prices on larger quantities.

On nearly all lawns there are unsightly hare spots
under the shade of trees, which have baffled all efforts
to get into grass, but with this mixture there need be
no further difficulty. It is a combination of fine, dwarf
growing, evergreen varieties, which in their wild or
natural state are to be found growing in the woods or
other sheltered and shaded soots. Ground that lias been
densely shaded by trees is frequently “sour.” and if the
drainage is defective it is apt to be covered with moss
and coarse bog grasses, in such cases an application or
slaked lime, at the rate of one bushel to each thousand
square feet, or forty bushels to the acre, is an excellent
corrective and sweetener, but the moss should be first
removed by the use of a sharp rake.

COUNTRY CLUB “TERRACE SOD” LAWN
GRASS SEED.

COUNTRY CLUB “NEW GROUND ”

A special mixture of fine leaved short grasses best
suited for sowing new ground. The body is composed
of Kentucky Blue Grass but enough fast growing grasses
have been added to set Quick results; at the same tirne
to form protection for the Kentucky Blue Grass -which,
when voung. is very tender and much slower in growth.
These "fast growiiig grasses will eventually . be crowded
out. leaving a beautiful Blue Grass lawn which, if piop-
erlv taken care of, will last forever. AN e. have spent
considerable time in experimenting on this lawn grass
and offer to our customers something that we know will
give results. Q

A special mixture of grasses best suited for sowing on
terraces, embankments and hillsides; grasses that pro-
duce long, strong, spreading roots, thus preventing heavy
rains from washing them out; that will withstand
drought and exposure, thrive on shallow soils, and at
the same time produce a rich, velvety green turf of fine-
leveled grasses throughout the season.

The difficulty to be overcome in getting grass estab-
lished on slopes is to prevent its being washed out by
h paw rains before thoroughly rooted. A continuous lun
of. boards set on edge and held in place by stakes at
the crest of the hill will assist in checking and turning
the water.

TOMATO — HARNDEN ’S GIANT CLIMBING.

You Home Gardners !

Hamden’s

Giant Climbing Tomato

is the most profitable for you to plant

1. Hamden’s Giant-Climbing Tomato is the highest
mountain top of success in tomato growing.

2. Just doubles the yield of many of the best cropping
tomatoes you have ever grown.

3. Smooth, well-formed and deep from stem to blos-
som.

4. Its extremely heavy weight is due to its firmness
and great meatiness.

5. It ripens evenly to the stem and is entirely free
from ridges, cracks and blight.

6. Unrivaled shipper, due to its solidity and firmness.

7. Fruits in large clusters at every second joint. Joints
are short and sturdy.

8. Brilliant red color, one of the handsomest tomatoes
we have ever seen.

9. Vigorous, compact, healthy vines.

10. One of the grandest Second Early and Main Crop
Tomatoes on earth.

"It is largely the Earliness and the Uniformity with
which the plants bear a Large Number of Large Smooth
Fruit throughout the ripening season that makes the
Giant-Climbing superior to other varieties, which have
been the standard canning sorts for many years.

“The average date of first ripening for the Giant-
Climbing was 120 days from the sowing of the seed in
the hot beds and 65 days from the time the young plants
were set in the field.’’

Prices; Pkt. 10c; % oz., 30c; 1 oz., 50c; 2 ozs., 85c; % lb.,

WHAT A KANSAS CITY HOME GARDENER SAYS
ABOUT THE GIANT CLIMBING TOMATO.
Harnden Seed Company, Kansas City, Mo.

Gentlemen: — I raised the Harnden "Giant Climbing”
Tomato last year and was well pleased with the results.
It gave me a nice, medium sized, smooth and faultless
red tomato. The tomato had a good flavor, very palat-
able and a' very solid meat. Trained on a trellis, they
grew from seven to nine feet high. DR. C. M. COE.

Egg Plant — Black Beauty.

Rich dark purple, large and symmetrical, maturing
a little earlier than our Improved Large Purple but
usually not quite as large. Very desirable for the mar-
ket as the fruit holds its color a long time. Pkt., 5c; oz.,
40c; 2 oz., 75c; % lb., $1.25; lb., $4.25.

Pepper— chili.

True. Very piquant and prolific; small, slim fruits,
generally used for making pepper sauce. Pkt., 5c; oz.,
25c; % lb., 75c; lb., $2.50.

Pepper— Ruby Giant.

A beautiful variety, being a cross between the Ruby
King and the Chinese Giant. It possesses the large size
of the Chinese Giant and the splendid shape of the Ruby
King. The flesh is mild and sweet, making a good salad
sliced and served with tomatoes. This new sort will un-
doubtedly become very popular both in the home and the
market garden. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; % lb., $1.50.

Peas — Little Marvel.

For the early crop, this variety is better than Ameri-
can Wonder or Nott’s Excelsior, as it matures earlier
and the pods contain more peas. It is dwarf, about 15
inches high, plants are very productive, bearing many
twin pods, which are dark green. Prepaid, pkt., 10c; pt.,
35c; qt., 55c. Not prepaid, % peck, $1.35; peck, $2.50.

Tomato — Yellow Husk or Ground Cherry.

Very sweet, mild flavor; used for preserves. Vines
low and spreading. Fruits small, about one-half inch
in diameter, enclosed in a loose husk. The seed we of-
fer is that of the true Yellow Ground Cherry, not the
purple fruited sort which is scarcely edible. Pkt., 5c; oz.,
30c; 2 ozs., 55c; % 1>>., $1.00; lb., $3.00.

SUDAN GRASS

A New Forage Crop of Immense Value to
The Middle West

HARVESTING SEDAN GRASS IN TEXAS

UDAN GRASS is the greatest drouth resisting forage crop grown; it does not blight under ample rainfall.
^ * 4 In the black land belts, the day formation, or sand? loam it seems to grow whether the rainfall is ample or
TT1 limited. It is a tall, annual grass and under normal condition, ranges in height from five to eight feet. The
stems are small and somewhat more leafy than Johnson Grass which it most nearly resembles, though it is
entirely different from Johnson Grass, like the sorgum crops it must be planted each spring and dies when the first
frost comes. The number of cuttings each season depends, therefore, upon the length of season; it usually ma-
tures ninety days from planting and the second crop is ready for harvesting within thirty days from the first
cutting. Its feeding value marks it easily as one of the dependable crops of the farm. Stock of all kinds eat it
readily and will leave any other kind of hay to eat it. It makes a splendid silo crop. In arid districts it is
easily planted in rows thirty-six inches apart; this requires two pounds of seed to the acre, sown broadcast where
the rainfall is ample requires from fifteen to twenty pounds to the acre. Price, per lb., postpaid, 25c, 10 lbs. for $2.00.

GENERAL SUGGESTIONS TO CUSTOMERS

ORDER EARLY — It will be a great convenience both
to our customers and to ourselves if orders are sent us
early. We aim to fill orders the same day received, but
during the rush season find this not always possible —
thus the advantage in ordering early.

NAME, ADDRESS, ETC. — When ordering give name
and full address. Many orders reach us every season
in which the name or postoffice address is lacking. It
is, of course, impossible to fill these orders until they
are identified.

MARKET GARDENERS — We number among our cus-
tomers many market gardeners and other users of large
quantities of seeds. Those desiring to purchase greater
amounts than those quoted in our catalogue will find
it to their advantage to send us a complete, itemized
list of their requirements and we will be pleased to
name a special net price on the order.

HOW TO SEND MONEY — Money can be sent safely
either by Post Office Money Order, Bank Draft, Express
Order or by Registered Letter.' If your order amounts
to ?1.00 or more, it is best to send by above method.
We will also take postage stamps up to and including
$1.00; however, if it is more convenient and you have
a banking account, WE WILL ACCEPT YOER PER-
SONAL CHECK. We realize in some instances this will
save considerable time and will be much more con-
venient to many of our customers.

SEEDS BY EXPRESS OR FREIGHT — At prices

quoted we deliver seeds to any Express or Railroad
Depot in Kansas City, Mo. Deduct 5 cents a pound
from postpaid prices on seeds ordered by Express or
Freight at purchaser’s expense. On everything quoted

ASPAGARUS

PALMETTO.

CITIiri’LTRE — The permanent beds should be prepared
by deep plowing or spading and thoroughly enriching
the ground with stable manure or other fertilizers.
Set out in beds 5 feet wide, 3 rows in a bed, the outer
being each 1 foot from the edge, and 12 inches in the
row; set the plants with roots well spread, about 6
inches below the surface. After the plants are well
started, give frequent and thorough cultivation. In
autumn, after the tops are fully ripe and yellow, they
should be cut and burned and a good dressing of
manure applied, and in the spring forked in, after
which one quart of salt, to each square rod put on

the ground will be found very beneficial. The next
season the bed may be cut over two or three times,
but if this is done, all the roots, no matter how small,
should be cut, and after the final cutting, give a good
dressing of manure and frequent cultivation. For mar-
ket on a large scale, set 4 feet apart one way and 1%
the other; to grow plants from seed, sow in drills 1
inch deep in rows 1 foot apart; soak the seed before
planting.

details as to growing, soil, marketing, canning, etc.,
for home use or market; cloth, 60c; postpaid.

NOTE

Owing to the extreme wet weather, Beans for the
second year have been almost a failure. Continued high
prices will prevail for another year. In filling orders
this year, we will give the nearest bean we have of any
variety we may be out of unless otherwise advised. But
hope to be able to furnish the following varieties on early
orders.

BEANS

DWARF LIMAS — This comparatively new class of
Limas cannot be recommended too highly. Dwarf Limas
are fully equal in quality to Pole Limas and are much
earlier maturing. Do not plant until the weather is
warm and danger of frost is over.

BUSH LIMA (HENDERSON’S) — Extremely early;
vines are without runners, but continue to grow and
set pods until frost. Pods short and contain two or
four beans, which are of fine quality, either green
shelled or dry. Prepaid, pkg., l'Oc; pt., 30c; qt., 50c.
Not prepaid, peck,- $2.00.

BUSH LIMA (BURPEE’S) — The bushes grow from
18 to 20 inches high, of stout growth and always erect.
It is an immense yielder, each bush bearing from 50
to 200 large, handsome pods, well filled with very large
beans, which are identical in size and luscious flavor
to the well known large Pole Limas. Prepaid, pkg., 10c;
pt., 30c; qt., 50c. Not prepaid, peck, $2.00.

JACKSON WONDER BUSH LIMA — This is the most
productive and very earliest of the Bush Limas. It is of
true bush form, about 2 feet high, bearing greatest pro-
fusion of broad flat pods, each having from 3 to 5
medium-sized, flat, handsomely speckled beans, which
cook quickly and are of superior qualify. Prices, by mail,
postpaid: Pkt., IOe; pt., 35c; qt., 65c ; pk., $1.25; pk„

WAX PODDED SORTS.

If to go by Express or Freight at purchaser’s ex-
pense deduct 5c from pint, and 10c from quart price.

CHALLENGE BLACK WAX.

CULTURE — The best soil adapted Is a light, rich,
well drained loam, which has been manured for a pre-
vious crop; do not plant before the ground becomes
dry and warm, drop the seed in drills from 2 to 3 feet
apart, leaving 2 to 4 plants to the foot of row; culti-
vate them frequently up to the time of blossoming,
but never disturb them when the ground or pi? rts are
wet with rain or dew; beans should be cultivated very
shallow, as any cutting of roots after the plants come
into bloom is liable to cause the blossoms to blast.

CHALLENGE DWARF BLACK WAX— Continued ex-
perience has satisfied us of the great merit of this variety
as the earliest wax podded bean. In all our many com-
parisons of this bean with other extra early sorts, we
have found it the first to give a full picking of pods
which were unexcelled by any in quality. Vines erect,
compact, bearing the pods well up from the ground.
The pods are an attractive medium yellow in color,
medium sized, about 4% inches long, considerably
curved, round, very fleshy, crisp, tender and stringless.
Seed jet black, longer and more curved than Prolific
German Wax. The best extra early wax bean for the
home or market garden. Prepaid, pkt., 10c; pt., 35c;
qt., 60c. Not prepaid, peck, $1.50.

CURRIE’S RUST-PROOF WAX — We recommend this
to our market gardener as an especially good wax bean.
The pod is of a rich yellow color, but is a flat pod in-
stead of a round pod, fully as tender, brittle and string-
less, and comes nearer being an absolutely rust-proof
bean than any other wax variety. Prepaid, pkt., 10c;
pt., 35c; qt., 60c. Not prepaid, % peck, $1.50.

PROLIFIC GERMAN WAX, BLACK SEEDED — Beans
small, Jet black; pods round, medium length, curved,
fleshy and of a clear waxy yellow color, with long,
slightly curved point. This bean is more extensively
used by the market gardeners than any other variety
of the wax sort. Prepaid, pkt., 10c; pt., 35c; qt., 60c.

Not prepaid, % peek, $1.50.

PENCIL POD WAX — Early, hardy, very prolific and
of excellent quality. FodS are long, straight and round.

like a pencil, of a bright yellow color, tender, brittle
and absolutely stringless. The seeds are long, round
and rather small; color, black. Prepaid, pkt., 10c; pt.,
30c; qt., 50c. Not prepaid, % peck, $1.25.

RUSTLESS GOLDEN WAX — Vines erect, compact,
bearing the pods well up from the ground. Pods of
medium length, 4% to 5 inches, nearly straight, broad,
flat, golden yellow, very fleshy and wax-like; cook-
ing quickly as snaps, shelling well when green, and
of the highest quality used in either way. Seed me-
dium sized, oval, white, more or less covered with two
shades of purplish red. The amount and shade of color
on this and all parti-colored beans will be affected
greatly by conditions of soil and ripening. Prepaid, pkt.,
16c; pt., 35c; qt., 60c. Not prepaid, % peck, $1.50.

WARDWELL’S KIDNEY WAX — This variety matur-
ing a little later than the Golden Wax; yields a large
crop of long, nearly straight, broad, creamy white, hand-
some pods. These are of large size, about 6 inches
long, and are of good quality. They always command
a ready sale, making the variety one of the most profit-
able for the market gardener. Suitable also for snaps
for the home garden use. Leaves large, slightly rough-
ened. Seed large, flattened, kidney shaped, white with
dark markings about the eye. Prepaid, pkt., lOe; pt.,
35c; qt., 60c. Not prepaid, % peck, $1.50.

GREEN PODDED SORTS

TENNESSEE GREEN POD — This dwarf, early inter-
mediate snap bean is very popular in some sections of the
South and wherever known in other parts of the country
is spoken of in terms of highest praise. The vines are
large, somewhat spreading and prolific. The foliage is
dark green, with leaves large and crumpled. The pods
are very long, often six to seven inches, flat, irregular
in shape, bright but rather dark green and of excellent
quality. Seed of medium size, ovai, flat, yellowish brown

dew. It is very hardy, early and prolific and continues
in bearing for several weeks. The pods are of immense
size, rich green, thick, broad, extra long, solid, meaty,
rich, tender and entirely free from string. Prepaid, pkt.,
10c; pt., 30c; qt., 50c. Not prepaid, % peck, $1.35.

STRINGLESS GREEN POD — Earliest Green Podded
Bush Bean. For either the market or home garden, no
other green podded bean can be more highly recom-
mended. It Is very early. The pods are a rich green,
very round and straight, 5 inches long. The pods are
tender, bright and of the finest flavor, entirely string-
less. Prepaid, pkt., 10c; pt., 35c; qt., 60c. Not prepaid,
% peck. $1.50.

EXTRA EARLY ROUND POD RED VALENTINE —

For snaps there is nothing superior to this variety
among the older green podded sorts. These plants are
of dwarf, compact bush growth, 15 to 18 inches high;
very prolific, hardy and early in maturing. Pods me-
dium length, curved cylindrical, with crease in back;
fleshy, crisp and tender. Prepaid, pkt., 10c; pt., 30c;

entine; very long and slender round pods of excep-
tional quality. As a variety for very early planting

BEANS, Pole or Running'

Pole Beans are even more sensitive to cold and wet, as well as to droughts and hot winds, than the dwarf
varieties, but are of superior quality and productiveness. After settled warm weather, set poles 4 to 8 feet
long in rows 4 feet apart and extending north and south, the poles being three feet apart in the row. Let
the poles slant slightly toward the north. Set in this way the vines climb better, and the pods are straighter
and more easily seen. Around each stake plant 5 to 8 beans to 2 inches deep. When well started thin
to 4 plants, and see that they all climb around the pole in the same way, for they will not grow if tied up
in the opposite direction. Another plan is to plant in rows thickly enough so that there will be one plant
to 8 or 10 inches. Set posts 5 feet high firmly at each end of the rows and drive stakes made of 2x2 lumber
at intervals of about 16 feet along the rows. Stretch a wire, size number 10 or 12, between the posts along

each row, and fasten it to the tops of the stakes with wire staples. Run a lighter wire or twine along the

bottom ab-»ut 6 inches from the ground and fasten to the posts and stakes with wire staples. Between

these two stretch a wire er twine wherever there is a plant. The vines will run up these until they reach

the top wire, when they will care for themselves. Another way is to omit the bottom wire and stick small
stakes 2 to 6 inches in the soil and fasten to top wire.

HORTICULTURAL POLE, or Speckled Cranberry — Vines vigorous with large, light colored leaves. Pods short,
broad, green, streaked with bright red. Beans are large, round, splashed and spotted with red. Of very fine qual
ity. either as a green shelled bean or dry. The best late shell bean for both home and market. Prepaid, pkt., 10c j
pt., 30c; qt., 50c. Not prepaid, % peck, $1.25.

KENTUCKY WONDER— Also known as Old Homestead. We
believe this variety is the most practically useful of the green
podded' pole beans suitable for use as snaps. It is an early,
very prolific sort, with showy pods which are of most excellent
quality. The vines are vigorous, climbing well and very produc-
tive, bearing pods in large clusters. The pods are medium light
green, very long, often reaching 9 or 10 inches, nearly round
and very crisp when young, becoming very irregular as the
beans ripen. Prepaid, pkt., 10c; pt., 30c; qt., 50c. Not prepaid,
y2 peck, $1.25.

KENTUCKY WONDER WAX — This remarkably vigorous
growing, wax podded pole bean is very similar to the green
podded Kentucky Wonder, but the very long pods are a little
broader, very fleshy and quite stringless as snaps. The mature
pods are often 8 to 9 inches in length. Seed medium size, oval,
flattened, very irregular, dark brown. The seed even from the
most matured crops is usually somewhat shriveled in appearance.

Its earliness and hardiness commend it as a pole bean well
adapted even for Northern latitudes. Prepaid, pkt., 10c; pt., 30c;
qt., 50c. Not prepaid, % peek, $1.25.

LAZY WIFE — The pods are produced in great abundance and
measure from 6 t-> 8 inches in length; they are broad, thick,
very fleshy and entirely stringless. The pods retain their rich,
tender and stringless qualities until nearly ripe, and are un-
surpassed in all stages. Each pod contains from 6 to 8 round,
white beans, which make excellent winter shell beans. Prepaid,
pkt., 10c; pt., 35c; qt., 60c. Not prepaid, % peck, $1.50.

SPECKLED CUT SHORT, or Corn Hill — An old variety, very
popular in the Central and Southern states for planting among
corn. It will give a good crop without the use of poles. Vines
medium sized, but vigorous, twining loosely with dark colored
leaves. Pods short, 3 to 4 inches in length, flat to oval, fleshy
and of g-aod quality. Prepaid, pkt., 10c; pt., 35c; qt., 60c. Not
prepaid, % peck, $1.50.

SCARLET RUNNER — Ornamental and useful. The vine is
graceful; flowers are of a brilliant scarlet, and the beans are
of an excellent quality. Prepaid, pkt., 10c; pt., 35c; qt., 60c.

Not prepaid, % peck, $1.50.

WHITE CREASEBACIv — A fine early, green podded pole
bean of rapid growth and very productive. The pods grow in
clusters and are from 5 to 6 inches in length, perfectly round
and deeply creased. They are very fleshy, stringless and of the
best quality. The beans are white and are excellent shelled for
winter use. Prepaid, pkt., 10c; pt., 25c; qt., 45c. Not prepaid,

% peek, $1.25.

WHITE DUTCH CASE KNIFE — A climbing variety with long,
flat irregular pods, which become creamy white as they ma-
ture; seed broad, flat and clear white. Pkt., 10c; pt., 35c; qt., 50c.

Not prepaid, peck, $2.00. ®

POLE LIMA BEANS

The Limas being more tender and liable to rot in the ground
If it is cold and wet, must be planted later, say about the last
of May or first week in June. Plant about 2 inches deep. The
seed of the Limas is very large, flat and white in color. Pick-
ing the pods as fast as the beans are large enough to use will
lengthen the time of bearing.

SMALL CAROLINA, OR SIEVA LIMA— This is a small type
of the pole limas. It matures quickly, produces immense crops,
and makes an excellent bean for winter use. Pkt., 10c; pt., 30c;

KENTUCKY WONDER.

BEETS FOR TABLE AND FARMS

The best results are obtained on a
deep, rich sandy loam. If wanted
early, sow such sorts as Crosby’s
Egyptian or Harnden's Early Market in
hotbeds and transplant, cutting off the
outer leaves. For general crop sow in
freshly prepared soil as soon as the
ground will permit, in rows 18 inches
apart, covering about an inch deep and
pressing the soil firmly over the seed.
When the plants are well established
thin out to 6 inches apart in the row.
For winter use the turnip varieties
may be sown in June so as to mature
late in the season. The roots are stored
in a cellar and covered with sand or
sandy soil to prevent wilting, or they
may be kept outdoors in pits such as
are used for apples and potatoes.

CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN — An improved
strain of the Egyptian. Instead of be-
ing flat the roots are smooth and round
in shape; of finer quality, combined
with the same extra early maturity.
Prepaid, pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 34 lb., 25c;
1 lb., 75c.

EARLY ECLIPSE — Another very fine
early variety with globe-shaped roots;
flesh dark blood, zoned with a lighter
red. Prepaid, pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 34 lb.,
25c; 1 lb., 75c.

EARLY BLOOD TURNIP — A hand-
some, clean, turnip shaped blood beet.

poses. Prepaid, pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 34
lb., 25c; 1 lb., 75c.

DETROIT DARK RED — Tops excep-
tionally small and uniformly upright,
roots are perfect turnip shape with
small tap roots. The principal fault
with most turnip beets is the occa-
sional appearance of white rings, but
by careful selection this has been
overcome and will be found to be one
of the deepest red beets. Quality of
the very best, sweet, tender. Prepaid,
pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 34 lb., 30c; 1 lb., 75c.
HARNDEN’S EARLY MARKET — The earliest beet

customers indicate that it gives most thorough satis-
faction. The roots is of medium size, generally about
3 inches in diameter, very handsome in shape, being a
little deeper than round, with a remarkably smooth
surface. The interior color is very deep crimson through-
out, but is ringed or zoned in a most beautiful manner,
making it very attractive in appearance. Prepaid, pkt.,
5c; 34 lb., 35c; 1 lb., $1.00.

SWISS CHARD, or Sea Kale Beet — Summer Spinach

— A distinct vegetable and much superior to the com-
mon beet for greens and equal to spinach. Sow early
in the spring, in rows 16 inches apart and the seedlings
afterward thin out to 6 inches in the row.

LARGE RIBBED WHITE — This does not make edible
roots like the regular garden beets, but is grown for
the broad white leaf stalks, which are bunched and
cooked in the same manner as asparagus, and make a
delicious summer vegetable. The young leaves may be
gathered also and cooked like spinach. Prepaid, pkt.,

CAULIFLOWER

Cauliflower, although one of the most delicious vegetables, is but little grown except by professional
gardeners because of the erroneous notion that it is so difficult to grow that only skilled gardeners can pro-
duce it. Any one will be reasonably sure, if the cultural directions given below are carefully followed:

CULTURE — Make the soil as fine possible for every transplanting, and do not allow the young plants
to become checked at any time for want cf water. For spring and early summer use, sow in February or
March in hotbed, and transplant to cold frame when sufficiently large, and to the garden as soon as ground
is warm enough. For late autumn crops, sow in the early part of June, and transplant in July. In dry weather
water freely, and as they advance in growth hoe deep and draw earth to the stem. When heading tie the out-
side leaves loosely over the heads to protect from the sun.

EARLY SNOWBALL — Unquestionaby
the earliest maturing strain of the
true short leaved snowball type of
cauliflower. Its close growing, com-
pact habit enables one-third more to
be planted on the same space of ground
than can be done with other varieties.
For forcing under glass during win-
ter and spring Snowball is peculiarly
well adapted, from its dwarf growth
and short outer leaves, and for this
purpose no other cauliflower is now
as largely grown. Prepaid, pkt., 15e;
% oz„ Coe; 1 oz„ $2.50; 2 ozs., $4.50;
% lb., $8.00.

EXTRA EARLY DWARF ERFURT—

A favorite early market variety, very
compact heads; it has very narrow
leaves which grow perfectly upright,
thus adapting it for close cultivation
or forcing. Prepaid, pkt., 15c; % ox.,
$1.00; 1 oz., $3.00; 2 ozs., $5.00; % lb.,
$9.00.

DANISH GIANT (Dry Weather) —
The crop is two or three weeks later
than Earliest Erfurt. Heads are pure
white and of fine quality. The plants
are less affected by dry weather than
any other variety. Prepaid, pkt., 15c;
% oz., 65e; 1 oz., $2.25; 2 ozs., $4.25; %
lb., $S.00.

EXTRA EARLY PARIS — Heads of
uniform size, solid and blanch easily,
but are not so large nor of so fine
quality as the Erfurt type. Prepaid,
pkt., 10c; % oz., 40ej 1 oz.. 75c.

EARLY SNOWBALL.

CABBAGE

CULTURE — The Cabbage, to be well grown,
requires a deep, rich loamy soil. For early
use sow the seed in hotbeds in February or
March, or it may be sown about the middle
of September, and the plants wintered over
in cold frames. Transplant in spring as soon
as the ground can be worked, in rows 2
feet apart and the plants 18 inches apart
in rows. For late or winter use, the seed
should be sown in May, and the plants set
out in July, 2% to 3 feet apart. Cabbages
should be hoed every week and the ground
stirred as they advance in growth, draw-
ing up a little earth to the plants each time
until they begin to head, when they should
be thoroughly cultivated and left to mature.

Loosening the roots will sometimes retard
the bursting of full grown heads. To pre-
serve cabbages during winter, pull them on
a dry day and turn them over on the heads
a few hours to drain. Set them out in a
cool cellar, or bury them in long trenches
in a dry situation, covering with boards or straw so as
to keep out frost and rain.

EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD — The earliest and hardi-
est heading of first early cabbages. Most gardeners de-
pend upon it for the bulk of their extra early crop. Its
exceeding hardiness not only to resist cold weather, but
other unfavorable conditions, insure the greatest likeli-
hood of profitable and satisfactory results. Prepaid, pkt.,
5c; oz., 25c; % lb., 65c; 1 lb., $2.00. Not prepaid, 5 lbs., $1.50
per lb.

CHARLESTON, or Large Wakefield — Similar in every
respect to the Jersey Wakefield except that it is very much
larger, and not quite so early. Heads not quite as much
pointed. Prepaid, pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; % lb., 50c; lb., $1.50.

COPENHAGEN MARKET — Is the earliest large round
or flat-headed sort. The ripening: is early and uniform, ma-
turning at one time and almost with Early Jersey Wakefield
(oblong head). Considering its early season, the heads are
remarkably large, averaging ten pounds in weight. One of
its chief features is compactness; its leaves, which are light
green, are round, dish-shaped and fold tightly together in
remarkably compact and solid form; it is so solid that many
more plants can be grown on an acre than is possible with
most sorts. It has few outer leaves, which permits close
planting, and it grows close to the ground on a short stem.
Pkt., 5c; oz., 50c; 2 oz., S5c; % lb., $1.25; 1 lb., $3.50.

HOLL YNDER. or Danish Ball Head — This splendid
variety is remarkable for its solidity and grand keep-
ing qualities. The heads, although not quite so large
as& Premium Flat Dutch, are equally as heavy and su-
perb in quality. Prepaid, pkt., oc;~ oz., -ac; % !»•> *>0c;

PREMIUM LATE FLAT DUTCH— We . have taken
great pains in the selection of this strain and have
sold it to our market gardeners for a number of sea-
sons It has given universal satisfaction to every one
who has tried it, maturing well m our climate, and
produces large and compact heads. For general crop
this variety cannot be excelled. Prepaid, pkt., oc; oz.,

CARROT CHIVES

WRITE FOR SPECIAL PRICES ON LARGE
QUANTITIES.

The carrot is one of the
most wholesome and nu-
tritious of our garden
roots deserving to be more
extensively used for cul-
inary purposes and we
urge our customers to give
some of the early table
varieties as well as feed-
ing sorts a trial.

C U L T U R E — Sow seed
thinly in drills of % to 1
inch deep early in the
spring, making several
sowings to afford a suc-
cession. For garden cul-
ture sow in rows of 16 to
18 inches apart, and for
field culture 18 to 24
inches. When well started
thin out the early sorts to
8 to 10 to the foot, and late
varieties from 4 to 6 inches
apart in a row. A sandy
loam, made rich by ma-
nuring the previous year,
is the best soil. Avoid
sowing- on a newly ma-
nured ground, as it tends
to produce forked roots.

DANVERS — Flesh sweet,
crisp, tender and of a
bright orange color. Valu-
able both for table use and
for stock feeding. Prepaid,

out the entire winter. Collards usually succeed in lo-
cations where cabbage cannot be grown to perfection.

TRUE GEORGIA — This is the white stemmed va-
riety, growing 2 or 3 feet high and forming a large,
loose, open head or cluster of leaves with a rather long
stem. A frost, if not too severe, will improve rather

CELERY

CULTURE — Sow in drills early in spring as soon
as the ground can be worked. The soil should be
rich and well prepared. Cover the seed lightly with
fine earth, tamping in firmly. Keep moist to insure
germination and quick, vigorous growth. In order to
secure stocky plants cut off the tops once or twice
before transplanting to the field or garden. Set plants
6 to 8 inches apart in rows from 3 to 4 feet apart.
Transplanting should be done about the last of June.
Care should be taken to firm the earth well around
the roots of the plant; work up the soil between the
rows, drawing it to the plants from time to time until
they are covered to the very tops.

WHITE PUUME — This handsome sort is valued be-
cause naturally the stalk and portions of the inner
leaves and heart are white: the whiteness does not
show, however, until the plants are about one-third
grown; it is unsurpassed for all uses and the earliest
celery in the market. Prepaid, pkt., 5c; oz„ 25e; V4 lb.,

variety, free from side roots. Prepaid, pkt., 5c; oz„ 20c;
V4 lb., 60c; 1 lb., $2.00.

did variety is without doubt the most popular celery
grown. It is a self-blanching sort, for with a little
banking or covering, even the outer ribs assume a
beautiful golden yellow, while the heart or vine stalks
are deliciously tender, brittle and sweet. This variety
is being very extensively grown both for market and
private use, not oniy on account of its ease of culture,

CUCUMBER

CULTURE — Cucumbers thrive best in a very rich,
loamy soil, not containing too much sand. A rather
aeavy soil is preferable to sandy soil. The most suc-
cessful growers fertilize heavily with barnyard ma-
nure, scattered evenly over the surface 2 or 3 inches
deep. Plant from 12 to 15 seed in a hill. The hills
should be from 4 to 6 feet apart. When the plants
have attained good size and danger of the striped
beetle is over, thin out to 3 plants in a hill; cultivate
until the plants make long runners.

SWEET, OR TABLE VARIETIES
CULTURE — The stalks, being short and small and
having few leaves, may stand very close together. The
seed may be planted either in hills or in rows. If the
former, plant 6 or 7 kernels in a hill, thinning out well
so as to have 4 plants in each hill. If in rows and
not in hills, drop the seed from 6 to 8 Inches apart,
according to the soil, and if planted early cover about
1 inch deep. Seed planted later should be planted deep-
er, according to the amount of moisture in the soil. The
rows may be just far
enough apart to admit
of cultivation. Eight
quarts of seed will

forage or hay crop, enriching the soil even when the crop is cut off.
Market price.

In the South Cow Peas make one of the largest and most nutritious forage crops grown. There is no surer
or cheaper means of improving and increasing the productiveness of the soil than by sowing Cow Peas. In a
modified way this is also true in the North where they will do well on land where clover will not grow and It is

surprising the benefit one will get from turning down a crop of Cow Peas. Ask for prices.

CULTURE — For general crop, sow as early in
the spring as the ground can be worked in drills
18 inches apart, and thin the young plants to 4
inches apart in the row. As the plantts begin to
crowd, thin them out and use as required. Keep
the soil constantly loose by frequent hoeing.
Lettuce to be at its best should be grown as rap-
idly as possible, hence the soil should be made
as rich as possible by liberal manuring and thor-
ough preparation. For winter, sow under glass
from November to February and thin out as nec-
essary to prevent crowding. Keep a moderate heat
and give all the light and air possible.

PURE CULTURE
MUSHROOM SPAWN

CULTURE — Any dark room or pit where the tem-
perature can be kept from 50 to 60 degrees will do
for the culture of mushrooms. In preparation for a
mushroom bed, procure soil from an old pasture, and
fresh horse manure, free from straw or litter, and mix
thoroughly in proportion of three parts horse manure
to one of loam; previous to mixing, the manure should
be turned a number of times to get rid of the heat;
ma.ke out of this compost a bed 8 to 10 inches deep,
pressed solidly; let the temperature recede until it
reaches about 90 degrees, then plant pieces of spawn
the size of a walnut in holes 2 to 3 inches deep, and
6 inches apart each way; cover the holes, press-
ing the dirt solid. At the expiration of ten days, cover
the whole with 2 inches of fresh loam and over this
spread 3 or 4 inches of straw, hay or litter; in about
eight weeks the mushrooms make their appearance.
If the surface becomes dry, wet with warm water. One
brick of spawn will plant 8 or 9 square feet.

PURE CULTURE SPAWN — 1 brick, 25c; prepaid, 40c.
A brick weighs about 1% lbs. By Express or Freight
at purchaser’s expense: 5 lbs., $1.00; 10 lbs., $1.75; 25

dition, plant in rows about
2 feet apart, covering about
an inch deep with fine soil,
firmly packed down. When
about 2 inches high, thin to
about 1 foot apart in the row.
The young seed pods are used
in soups, stews, etc. It is
very highly prized in the
South.

PERKINS’ MAMMOTH

ONION [Continued]

To grow onions thorough preparation of the ground,
careful sowing, the best of cultivation and GOOD SEED
are essential.

THE SOU, — Soft, dark, sandy ham, not too fine
This is much better if it has been cultivated with hoed
crops, kept clean from weeds and well manured for two
years previous, because if a sufficient quantity of ma-
nure to raise an ordinary soil to a proper degree of
fertility is applied at once, it is likely to make the
onions soft.

SOWING THE SEED — This should be done as soon
as the ground can be made ready and can be done best
by a hand seed drill. This should be carefully adjusted
to sow the desired quantity of seed about one-half inch
deep. The quantity depends on the soil and kind of
onions desired. Four to five pounds is the quantity used
for an acre to grow large onions.

MAMMOTH SILVER KING — An Italian variety of
special merit; remarkably early, of large size and fine
quality. A popular variety in the South, where it
grows to an enormous size; white flesh; shape flat;
mild and delicate flavor. Prepaid, pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; % lb.,
75c; 1 lb., $2.50.

FLAT YELLOW DANVERS — Like the Globe Yellow
Danvers, but rather more flattened. One of the best
keeping onions grown; flesh white; fine grained, firm
and mild; oerfect in shape and a large cropper. Pre-
paid, pkt., 5c; oz., loc; 14 lb., 35c; 1 lb., $1.25.

WHITE PORTUGAL OR SILVERSKIN — An early,
flat, white variety; mild flavor; excellent for growing
sets; one of the best for pickling. Prepaid, pkt., 5c; oz.,
25c; % lb., 75c; 1 lb., $2.50.

GIANT GIBRALTAR — This is probably the largest of
all onions (not excepting the Prizetaker.) Skin of light
straw color, flesh white, tender and mild. These Onions
are excellent for home use at any time while in the
growing state. It is a good shipper. Where a large
yield is the main desire, plant the Giant Gibraltar. It
will yield fifty per cent more per acre than any other
variety except the Prizetaker. Price, pkt., 5c; oz., 25c;
% lb., 75c; lb., $2.50.

LARGE RED WETHERFIELD.

LARGE RED WETHERSFIELD — The standard va-
riety so largely used for commercial purposes, good size;
an immense yielder; deep red color; fine keeper. Pre-
paid, pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; % lb., 75c; 1 lb., $2.50.

ance and heavy croppers; excellent keepers; a very de-
sirable sort. Prepaid, pkt., 5c; oz., 25c ; 14 lb., 60c; 1 lb.,

GARDEN PEAS

If to go by Express or Freight at purchaser's ex-
pense deduct 5c from pints and 10c from quart prices.

CULTURE — For early peas the soli should be light
and warm, Dut for general crop a moderately heavy soil
Is better. Fresh manure and very rich or wet mucky
soil should be avoided, as they cause a rank growth
of vine at the cost of the quality of the peas. Sow as
early as possible a few of some early variety on warm,
quick soil, prepared the fall before, planting in double
rows 6 to 8 inches apart and 2Vs to 4 feet between the
double rows. Larger pods and more of them will be
produced if the seed be planted in trenches 3 to 6 inches
deep and covered with only 1 or 2 inches of soil; when
the plants are 5 or 6 inches high fill the trench level
with the surface. If the peas be covered to the full depth
at first, or if water be allowed to stand in the trenches
they will not germinate or grow well. All varieties
growing more than 1% feet do better if staked up or
brushed when 4 to 6 Inches high. The support is usually
given by sharpened branches of trees set between the
double rows.

EARLIEST OF ALL, OR ALASKA — Vines of medium
height, about 2% to 3 feet, and of distinctive light color.

Field Peas

FIELD PEAS deserve more general attention for
fodder than they now receive. In the North for dairy
cows and for hogs, they are fully equal to corn, and
about six weeks earlier. For cows, the crop should
be cut and fed green. For hogs alone it can be used
as pasturage. Field peas can be sown either alone or
with oats as early as the condition of the soil will
permit. If the stubble from green winter rye or other
crops cut in June be turned under and sown to mixed
peas and oats, it will furnish a large amount of forage
in August when grass pasture is usually short.

As fertilizer, field peas should be plowed under
when in blossom. They will grow on land that will
not produce clover. See our Red List for prices.

PUMPKIN

CULTURE — Pumpkins are not so particular in re-
gard to soil as melons or cucumbers, but are cultivated
the same, though on a larger scale. They are raised
between hills of corn or in fields by themselves. After
■danger of frost is over plant the seed in hills 8 to 19
feet apart each way, dropping about a dozen seeds in
a. hill. Have the soil as rich as possible. One pound

FERTILIZE YOUR GARDEN — Increase tbe Yield and Improve the Quality of Vegetables — Just a compara-
tively small amount of fertilizer will greatly improve the soil of the garden if the fertilizer contains the
proper constituents. Ordinary manure, well rotted, will be beneficial, but will not supply all the necessary
elements for best results. Soiling crops plowed under will help a lot, but even these will not entirely meet
the requirements. See page 64.

RADISH

HARNDEN’S SELECTED RADISH SEED. GROWN BY THE BEST AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN GROWERS.

For outdoor planting sow as early in the spring as the ground can be worked. A rich, sandy loam
is the best for radishes; avoid the use of rank manure. A light dressing of nitrate of soda will greatly
stimulate the growth and insure tender, brittle roots. Sow in drills about 12 inches apart and thin out to
keep from crowding. Successional sowing from 10 to 12 days will keep a supply. For forcing seed in the
hotbed or under glass in rich, sandy soil, made perfectly level. Scatter the seed evenly over the soil, and cover
with about V, inch of sifted earth Water carefully and keep moist.

TOMATOES

HARNDEN’S SELECTED TOMATO SEED.

CULTURE — Tomatoes do best on not over rich soil,
and success depends upon securing a rapid, vigorous
and unchecked growth during the early part of the sea-

4 leaves, transplant into shallow boxes or cold frames.

NEW AND STANDARD VARIETIES

PRICES ON FLOWER SEED ARE PREPAID EITHER TO GO BY MAIL OR^EXPRESS.

FLOWERS FROM SEED ARE USUALLY KNOWN AS ANNUALS, BIENNIALS AND PERENNIALS.
ANNUALS bloom and ripen seed the first year and then perish.

BIENNIALS do not generally flower the first season and are in perfection only one year.

PERENNIALS continue to flower for several years in succession. Many of them bloom the first year if sown
■early.

HARDY ANNUALS, Biennials and Prennials can be sown in the open ground early in the spring If desired,
and Biennials and Perennials will not require any protection in winter.

HALF HARDY ANNUALS, Biennials and Perennials should not be sown in open ground until settled warm
weather, though they can be sown in the house, if desired, early and afterwards transplanted. The two latter
need to be protected in the winter, or carried over until spring in cold frames or greenhouses.

ASTERS

The Aster, in its many varieties, is unsurpassed for bedding and
cutting, and is not only one of the most profitable annuals for the
professional florist but also one of the most satisfactory for the home
garden. The great diversity of size, color, form and season of bloom-
ing makes it one of the most suitable plants for supplying cut flowers.
The plants are usually of vigorous growth and so hardy that they
endure a slight frost without serious injury.

By planting different strains at different times one may have a
succession of blooms from July until frost.

Seed may be sown outdoors as early in spring as the ground is
warm and dry, or for earlier blooming may be started indoors or in
a cold frame and transplanted in the open ground after danger of
killing frost is over. If conditions are favorable they will usually
do well in any well prepared garden soil, but a strong loam that has
be’en well fertilized the previous year is preferable. In planting cover
the seed with about one-fourth inch of fine soil, firmly pressed down.
The rows for most of the varieties should be about 1% feet apart.

VICTORIA — The petals are broad and thick and curve outward,
overlapping so regularly as to resemble those of the double dahlia.
Plants about 18 inches high and very free flowering. Very much im-
proved over the old Victoria type.

rather late.

NASTURTIUM.

NASTURTIUM

Few plants are more easily grown or remain longer
In bloom than the Nasturtium, with Its large shield-shaped
leaves and beautifully irregular flowers, having long spurs
and brilliantly colored petals. In favorable soil fowers are
produced in abundance throughout the season. Seed is
usually sown outdoors as soon as the weather is warm
and settled, in the row where the plants are to remain.
Well pulverized soil, preferably well drained and mod-
erately rich, should be used and the seed covered with
about one inch of fine soil, firmly pressed down. A sunny
situation is essential for free blooming. If the soil is
very rich the plants give a large amount of foliage but
few flowers. Nasturtiums are seldom, if ever, bothered
with insects.

DIANTHUS OF PINKS.

A magnificent genus, embracing some of the most
popular flowers in cultivation, producing a great variety
of brilliant colors and profusion of bloom. The varieties
classed as annuals are really biennials, but are treated
as annuals and may be sown out of doors when danger
from frost is past, and in a few weeks’ time they are a
mass of bloom, continuing so until after hard frost. As a
rule, they survive the winter if given slight protection,
flowering abundantly the following season. They grow
about a foot high and can be used in beds or borders of
solid or mixed colors. The double-flowering sorts are
almost as fine as Carnations for cutting.

HARDY PERENNIAL POPPIES.

Oriental Poppies should be sown as early in the
spring- as the ground can be worked. The plants disap-
pear during the hot summer months of July and August,
reappearing when the coolness of September arrives;
seemingly to make an additional growth of top and root
in preparation of severe winter weather. It is well to
mark the place in which they are planted, so as not to
disturb them during their annual resting season. "

hardy annuals are most desirable plants for mixed bor-
ders or bedding purposes, and are remarkable for the
profusion and duration of their flowers, which are ex-
tremely useful for bouquets. The double Zinnias are ex-
ceedingly handsome, the flowers being notable for their
large size, fine form, brilliancy and diversity of color.
The plants come quickly from seed and are easily trans-
planted. 1

size, thickly set with velvety petals. The plants are
healthy, vigorous, branching freely, and make excellent
material for groups or cutting. White, pkt., 15c; Golden

SWEET PEAS

CULTURE — The seed should be sown as early as the
ground can be worked in the spring, to enable the vines
to get a good strong growth before the warm weather
comes. They are usually grown in double rows with a
wire trellis or a row of brush between. Make a trench
six inches deep; in this sow the seed plentifully 2 inches
deep. As soon' as the plants begin to show through, fill
up the trench with soil. This will secure a deep plant-
ing without the bad effect of deep covering of the seed
at first. As the flowers come in full bloom or fade, they
should be cut off, for, if the pods are allowed to form
they will stop blooming. Remember — First, Sweet Peas
do best in rich, moist soil; second, do not loosen soil
around the plants; third, plant seed in a warm sunny
spot. A liberal use of bone fertilizer worked into the
soil will give excellent results.

Spencer Varieties

THE SPENCER type are very much larger than the
ordinary varieties. The finest Sweet Peas yet developed
are obtained in this class. All Spencers are very shy
seeders and the price will always be much higher than
for the old type.

effect much more graceful and attractive.

GLADIOLUS

A Choice Selection of the Very Finest
Gladiolus Grown.

This class of summer flowering bulbs is dou-
bly valuable for the brave field show of bloom,
and for its generous supply of cut flowers. Glad-
iolus flowers last longer when cut than most any
others flowers, and develop in water to a greater
perfection than if left on the plant.

GLADIOLUS do best in a sunny location, a
good sandy loam suits them best, they will do
equally well in heavy soil if the drainage is per-
fect. Well rotted stable manure is the very best
fertilizer. To get the best results the manure
should be spread over the ground in the fall and
dug in early in the spring by deep spading. Sheep
manure is a good substitute and can be applied in
the spring. Plant the bulbs 6 to 9 inches apart
and from 2 to 4 inches deep, the large bulbs can be
planted 4 inches and the small bulbs about 2
inches deep. If Gladiolus are wanted by mail, add
10c per dozen for postage. Single bulbs mailed

position in any kind of soil, but responding quickly to
liberal treatment. For best results the beds should be

manure of any kind thoroughly incorporated, and at all
times supplying water freely. For best effect plant in
large masses of one color, setting out the plants 2 feet
apart.

HARDY CLIMBING OR
RAMBLER ROSES

Since the introduction of the Crimson Rambler, in

ity. Many splendid new varieties, both in single and dou-
ble-flowering forms, have been added during the past
few years.

AMERICAN PILLAR.

single flowers, sometimes measuring 3 inches across, are
borne in large clusters and are produced with the great-
est freedom fairly covering the bush. Color is a delight-
ful shade of rose pink. Broad, glossy, deep green foliage.
In the fall the flowers are followed by clusters of red
berries. Bach, 50c; doz., $5.00.

CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY.

A1 new rose of great merit. A cross between Ameri-
can Beauty and an unnamed seedling; color a rosy crim-
son, similar to its popular parent, and with the same ex-
quisite fragrance, a quality rarely found in climbing
roses. The plant is of strong habit of growth, making
shoots from ten to fifteen feet in one season, and as hardy
as an oak. The flowers are from three to four inches
in diameter, of fine form, and are produced in great pro-
fusion, not only in May and June, but there is a fair
sprinkling of flowers throughout the growing season.

; CLOVER ALFALFA

ALFALFA (Medieago-Satava) — As a general rule
good corn ground is good ground for alfalfa. It can,
in most cases, be grown profitably on any land on which
cottonwood trees and corn are successfully grown to
a maturity. It requires a well drained, thoroughly pul-
verized soil, free from weeds and the soil should be
in good condition with regard to moisture at time of
seeding. Alfalfa may be seeded successfully either in
the spring or in the months of August or September.
Seed can either be drilled or broadcasted. It requires
from 20 to 25 pounds of seed per acre for drilling and
25 to 30 pounds when broadcasted. Alfalfa from one
seeding can usually be expected to endure ten years;
in some cases it will die out in three to four years, and
in other instances, fields fifteen to twenty years old
are yielding heavy crops. Per lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.00.

TURKESTAN ALFALFA — A peculiarly hardy or cold
and dry weather resisting variety of alfalfa, especially
adapted for dry or extreme cold climate. Fancy, per
lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.00.

MEDIUM RED CLOVER — This is regarded as the
most valuable of the Clover family. It is sometimes
called June Clover and is a dependable all-round variety
for farmers and stockmen. It makes two crops each
year. The first is usually cut when it is in blossom
for hay; the last crop may be harvested for seed, cut
for hay, or plowed under to add fertility to the soil.
Will grow in most any soil, makes excellent hay. Sow
from 12 to 15 pounds per acre. Per lb., 80c; 10 lbs., $2.50.

WHITE DUTCH CLOVER (Trifolium-Repens)— Ex-
cellent for pasture, usually mixed with red top or Ken-
tucky blue grass makes fine feed for sheep or cows,
Is used in sowing lawns with blue grass and will grow
well in shady places. Sow 6 to 8 pounds per acre. Per
lb., 50c; 10 lbs., $4.50.

JAPAN CLOVER (Lespedza Striata) — Low perennial
spreading habit; stands excessive drouth well; flour-
ishes on poorest soil in Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma and
other Southern States. Makes good hay and stock eat it
readily. Also is valuable for turning under as green
manure. Sow broadcast about 30 pounds per acre. Per
lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.00.

ALSIKE, OR SWEDISH CLOVER — This is one of the
hardiest varieties known. It is perennial and does not
winter kill. It will do better on moist land than any
other variety of Clover, and is suitable for either hay
or pasture. When sown with other grasses, it forms
thick undergrowth and greatly increases the yield. It
is frequently sown both with Medium Red Clover and
with Timothy, and the quality of hay thus produced
is excellent. It is finer and more leafy than Medium
Red Clover, although it does not grow so high. It is
very fine for honey bees, and cattle prefer it to other
clovers. Sow 10 to 12 pounds to the acre. Per lb., 25c;
10 lbs., $2.25.

MAMMOTH, OR SAPLING CLOVER — Sometimes
called pea vine Clover, on account of its very rank
growth. Is probably the most valuable of all the Clovers
for fertilizing purposes. Foliage, flower and stem much
darker than the medium red Clover. Also makes good
hay when mixed with timothy or red top, as it ripens
about the same time, being later than medium red Clover.
Sow 12 to 15 pounds per acre. Per lb., 30c; 10 lbs., $2.50.

CRIMSON CLOVER (Trifolium-Incarnatum) — An an-
nual variety in common use in Texas and Southern states.
Is two to four weeks earlier than the red Clover and
an immense yielder of fodder. Height about one foot;
roots nearly black and blossoms long and deep carmine
color. Makes good hay. Sow about 15 pounds to the
acre. Per lb., 20c; 10 lbs., $1.80.

SWEET CLOVER (White-Blossom) — Sweet Clover
meets the approval of most every farmer who has given
it a trial, as a valuable pasture and soil restorer. For
sheep, cattle and horses it is hard to equal and Its
blossoms will give more honey when used for bees than
any other Clover. This Clover thrives on poor soil where
scarcely nothing else will grow and nothing surpasses
it for bringing back fertility to the soil in the shortest
time. Grows from 4 to 6 feet high with branches, ex-
tremities of which bear abundant fragrant flowers.
Sow in the spring or fall; sow about 10 to 15 pounds
to the acre.

We would advise our customers to plant the White
Blossomed variety, as it is hardy and makes much
better feed. The yellow variety is an annual only.

Some farmers prefer the unhulled seed in its native
state, and for that reason we quote both the hulled and
unhulled.

Unhulled seed, per lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.00.

Hulled seed, per lb., 30c; 10 lbs., $2.50.

SWEET CLOVER (Yellow Blossom) — The yellow va-
riety of sweet Clover is preferred by some farmers
when used for a fertilizer on account of its heavy growth.
Bee Keepers also claim that honey from the yellow
flowers superior to that of the white. Seed is con-
siderable cheaper and quicker to germinate. Hulled
seed, per lb., 20c; 10 lbs., $1.75.

GRASS AND FIELD SEEDS

We test our field seeds just the same as garden seeds and send out nothing that does not show a good germ-
ination.

RECLEANED GRASS SEEDS— We are listing below
the different grasses for all purposes, that will thrive
and do well in this section of the country. Our grass
seeds are high grade recleaued seed. Will send sam-
ples on application.

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS (Poa-Pratensls) — Among
all the grasses for pastures, meadows, ball grounds, golf
links, lawns, polo grounds and all school and public
grounds, the Kentucky Blue Grass ranks first; it is
the Great American Grass. The farmer knows its good
qualities and the city people know that there is noth-
ing more beautiful than a well kept blue grass lawn.
It can be sown either in the spring or fall. Sow 25
to 30 pounds per acre for meadows and pasture, 50 to
75 pounds per acre for lawns. Price, by mail postpaid,
25c per 11».; by express or freight at purchaser’s expense,
per lb., 20c; 5 lbs., OOc; 10 lbs., $1.75; 25 lbs., $4.00; 50
lbs., $7.00; 100 lbs., $12.50.

MEADOW FESCUE, OR ENGLISH BLUE GRASS
(Festuca Praltensis) — A permanent pasture grass, grows
from 2 to 3 feet high and is the earliest and most
nutritious of grasses; makes excellent hay, and cattle
will thrive on it. It grows better in poor soil than
any other grasses. The roots grow from 12 to 15
inches into the ground. It can stand extremely dry
weather; also will stand more freezing than any other
variety. Sow 15 to 20 pounds per acre. Per lb., 20c;
10 lbs., $1.75.

ORCHARD GRASS (Dactylls Geomeratn) — Orchard
grass in many respects is superior to other grasses. It
stands drouths, grows well in the shade and under
trees; does well on wet or poor ground. Is excellent
feed for cows and will produce more rich milk than
blue grass. Is especially adapted for winter grazing, as
it remains green all winter. Makes a heavy sod and well
established will remain for years. Sow 20 to 25 pounds
per acre. Per lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.00,

TIMOTHY (Phleum Pratense) — Timothy in this sec-
tion of the country is used more extensively for hay
than any other grass. It is relished by all kinds of
Btock, especially horses, and yields more nutritious mat-
ter than any other grass. Farmers in this country know
its qualities and in a great many instances sow it with
Alsyke or Red Clover. When used alone sow 15 pounds
to the acre; when used with Clover, sow 7 to 9 pounds
of Timothy and from 5 to 8 pounds of Clover. Per lb.,
10c; 10 lbs., 85c.

BERMUDA GRASS (Cynodon Dactylon) — This is
the standard grass of the South and is used in Oklahoma,
Texas and other Southern states for both pasture and
hay crop. Is also used for lawn purposes, as it runs
over the ground rapidly, forming a dense turf; will
not stand cold weather and is not used north of southern
boundary of Kansas, but is a drouth resister and will
stand all kinds of hot and dry weather. Sow 3 to 5
pounds per acre. Per lb., 75c; 10 lbs., $5.00.

BROMUS INERMIS, OR HUNGARIAN BROME
GRASS — A wonderful drouth resister, and stands severe
cold equally as well. Next to Alfalfa this is one of the
most promising grasses sown in the Western states
and where rainfall Is light. Its nature is to stool out
and does not show up as well the first season as it
does the second, and seldom produces seed until the
second year. It Is very highly recommended by the Kan-
sas State Agricultural Stations. It is sometimes used
in mixtures as follows: Bromus Inermis, 10 pounds;

Orchard grass, 10 pounds; English Blue grass, 8 pounds.
Can either be sown in the fall with winter wheat or
early in the spring ^ow 25 to 80 pounds per acre.
Per lb., 20c; 10 lbs., $1.75.

ITALIAN RYE GRASS (Lolium Italcnm) — A quick

growing grass and is often used as a nurse crop for
Kentucky Blue grass and in lawn mixtures. Will make
a quick showing and is used where something green
is wanted in a hurry; it is of no use for permanent
pastures, as it only lasts two years. Sow 35 to 40
pounds per acre. Per lb., 20c; 10 lbs., $1.50.

PERENNIAL ENGLISH RYE (Lallym Perenne) — A

hardy rye grass which grows well on clay soil and
withstands drought reasonably well; grows quick and
is a good pasture grass. This has been used by the
Kansas City Park Board for large plats where the soil
is not good and has given good satisfaction, making a
good sod. White Clover is sometimes used with this
when used for lawn purposes. For pasture sow 25 to
30 pounds to the acre; for lawns 50 to 60 pounds to the
acre. Per lb., 20c; 10 lbs., $1.50.

FANCY RED TOP (Agrostls Vulgaris) — A grass par-
ticularly adapted for wet soils and for ground that
washes. It is often sown with alsyke clover, which
together make a good hay. Is quicker to start than
any other grass and on moist soil will grow about two
feet high, and on gravely or poor soil one foot high.
If used for pasture should be fed close, as after it
has gone to seed cattle will refuse it. It is also used
for terraces and patches in lawns, where blue grass
will not grow. Sow from 15 to 20 pounds to the acre.
Per lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.00.

SUDAN GRASS — This grass resists drouth and does
not blight under excessive rainfall. It is a great forage
crop. See cut and full description page 6, this catalogue.
Per lb., postpaid, 25c; 10 lbs., $2.00; 2 to 3 lbs. plant an
acre drilled; 15 to 20 lbs., broadcast.

WILD RICE (Zizania Aquatica) — An annual which
sows itself in the fall about the middle of September,
lies dormant in the winter and in the spring commences
to sprout as soon as the water gets warm, reaching
the surface about the first of June. It grows very

rapidly in 1 to 4 feet of water, reaches a height of

7 to 10 feet and ripens late in August or early in Sep-
tember. It should be planted broadcast from a boat,

early in the fall before the seeds get dry, and before
the ice forms, in 1 to 3 feet of water, having a mud
bottom. If the water is over 4 feet deep, or if it is

stagnant, it does not do as well as when the water is

moving gently. As an attraction for wild fowl it can
not be equalled and it is largely used on private shoot-
ing grounds to attract water fowls. In large ponds
and lakes it purifies the water; affords a refuge for
the small fry from the large fish as well as furnishing

the small fry with plenty of food from the animalculea

upon the stalks; for planting in ponds it is equally
desirable. It does well along the shores of marshes,
and makes a good hay. In the South two crops can
be cut and all cattle are very fond of it. Per lb., 25ci
5 lbs., $1.00.

JOHNSON GRASS (Sorghum Halapense) — Johnson

grass is only sown in Southern states, Southern Kan-
sas being about as far north as it can be successfully
grown, as it is very easily winter killed. Is a rapid
grower, with long cane-like roots and stalks and leaf
resembles sorghum. Will grow in almost any ground
that will grow corn and on good soil will make a very
large yield. Sow about 25 pounds to the acre. Per lb.,
20c; 10 lbs., $1.50.

GRASS AND FIELD SEEDS [Continued]

GERMAN MILLET — This variety in ordinary climates
Is the heaviest yielder of all the Millets. It has pro-
duced from 4 to 6 tons of hay to the acre and from 70
to 80 bushels of seed; however, it will not stand a
drouth as well as the Commons and Siberian Millets.
Sow 25 pounds to the acre. Per lb., 5c; 10 lbs., 40c.

COMMON MILLET — It is the most hardy of the com-
monly grown varieties, enduring drouth the best and
giving better returns on poor soil. The hay is of finer
quality than the German, but does not yield as heavy.
It is also very early. Sow 25 pounds to the acre. Per
lb., 5c 5 10 lbs., 40c.

MANITOBA, OR HOG MILLET — The seed Is very rich
and thus especially valuable as hog feed. A very much
prized peculiarity of this Millet is that the seed ripens
while the stem is yet green. Thus if cut promptly can
be threshed for seed. While the hay, after being threshed
will make excellent fodder. Sow 25 pounds per acre.
Per lb., 10c; 10 lbs., 50c.

SIBERIAN MILLET — It is claimed to be the most
wonderfully productive and satisfactory forage plant,
possessing in a superior degree all of the essential
merits of any of the older sorts, and exceeding them
by far. A heavy yielder and excellent hay. Sow 25
pounds per acre. Per lb., 5c; 10 lbs., 50c.

BROOM CORN — If given proper attention Broom
Corn is one of the most profitable crops the farmer can
raise. There is a market at all times for strictly first
Class brush, and no pains should be spared in an effort
to produce this quality. Oklahoma leads the world in
quantity produced and in a great many instances the
best quality. We are listing below the three varieties
which are most commonly used. One acre of Broom Corn
will produce from 1 to 2 tons of brush and nearly 40
bushels of seed. Plant in drills, rows about 3% feet
apart and 6 inches apart in the row.

MISSOURI EVERGREEN — This Broom Corn grows
about 8 to 10 feet high and is of the standard variety;
stands up well and is entirely free from crooked brush.
The fibre is long and fine. Its great value is that it
will not get red in the field before it is cut, but it is
strictly a green variety of brush, commanding a high
price. Will produce well on ordinary corn ground. Sow
10 pounds to the acre. Per lb., 10c; 10 lbs., 50c.

OKLAHOMA DWARF — Originated in Oklahoma, is
of the dwarf variety and is earlier than all other va-
rieties. Brush long and well fibered and is a drouth
resister. On new breaking it does splendidly, leaving
the ground in fine condition for a fall wheat crop; only
a slight discing to prepare the soil, averages 5 feet in
height, making it convenient for pulling brush; is a
great yielder, often making 1 to 3 tons of fine long
brush to the acre; stocks make excellent fodder if cut
at once after brush is pulled. Sow 10 to 20 pounds per
acre. Per lb., 10c; 10 lbs., 50c.

CANADA FIELD — Used more in the North for hog
feed; a big yielder and good hay. Also used for pigeon
feed by all raisers of pigeons. Per bu. of 60 lbs., §3.00.

SOY BEANS as a feed takes the place of oil or
gluten meal. Feeding them to milch cows, fattening
cows or hogs, they have given astonishing results. Sow
broadcast, use 1% bushels to the acre. We have two
varieties — the Early Yellow and the Late Mammoth —
the latter should only be planted in Southern states, as
they are very late in maturing.

EARLY YELLOW SOY BEANS — Per lb., 10c; 10 lbs.,

75c.

LATE MAMMOTH SOY BEANS — Per lb., 10c; 10 lbs*

75c.

SAND OR HAIRY VETCH — This is a valuable forage
plant. Belongs to the pea family, but the vines grow
much longer and have more abundant foliage. It is
also very valuable as a soil builder, as it restores nitro-
gen. It is an annual, but drops its seed freely and will
come up year after year on the same ground. Sow with
oats, barley or rye, etc. It succeeds on almost any
soil and should not winter kill.

Sow Vetch in fall. The ground is then covered be-
fore winter, which prevents washing. Also sow in April
and you can cut in July, the second crop being a fine
hog pasture during the summer. Yields from 10 to 15
tons per acre green feed. Sow 20 pounds to the acre
Per lb., 30c; 10 lbs., $2.50.

SPRING VETCH — Similar to Sand Vetch, but sown
in the spring only. Per lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.00.

TEOSINTE — Recommended as the most prolific forage
plant yet introduced. The stalks containing much sac-
charine matter are very nutritious. It can be cut sev-
eral times during the season, yielding enormously. One
seed will sometimes produce 20 to 60 stalks or shoots,
and the warmer the climate the better it yields. Should
not be planted until the soil is perfectly warm in the
spring. Requires about 4 pounds of seed to the acre.
Plant in drills 3 feet apart and 2 or 3 seeds every 12
inches in drill. Per lb., $1.00.

WHITE NAVY BEANS — The standard white beans
of medium size. Plant in drills so as to cultivate with
a horse. 25 to 30 pounds enough to sow an acre. Per
lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.00.

PEANUTS (White Jumbo) — This is the standard va-
riety for roasting. The peanuts are three times as large as
those of' the ordinary Spanish peanut. The nuts proper
grow in fine double jointed hulls of beautiful white ap-
pearance; are from % of an inch to 1 inch in length,
and of fine flavor. An excellent variety worthy of the
highest recommendation. Per lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.25.

COW PEAS

WHIPPORWILL — The most popular variety in this
section of the country; makes fine hay and very valuable
for fertilizer, when turned under. Drill % bushel and
broadcast 1% bushels to the acre. Per bu. of 60 lbs.,
market price.

NEW ERA — About two weeks earlier than the Whip-
porwill. Not quite such a rank grower and will make
finer hay. Drill % bushel and broadcast 1% bushels
to the acre. Per bu. of 60 lbs., market price.

EMMER, OR SPELTZ — This is a remarkable grain
and should receive the attention of all farmers. It is
a species of drouth resisting barley and not inclined to
rust. It will produce a fair crop under almost any condi-
tion of climate, but grows best in dry prairie regions with
hot summers, giving excellent results. Thrives on poor
land and stony ground. All animals eat it greedily and
fond of the straw. Sow 70 to 80 pounds per acre very
early, same as barley or oats. Per bu. of 40 lbs., $1.50.

GRASS AND FIELD SEEDS [Continued]

Owing to the frequent market changes on all kinds
of grasses and field seeds, it is impossible to make prices
at the time we make up our catalogue. We kindly ask
our customers to write us for our Special Pink Field Seed
List and prices on larger quantities than quoted below.

DWARF ESSEX RAPE— Main standby of the Eng-
lish farmer in raising choice mutton. Perfectly hardy
and of remarkable fattening properties. Easily grown.
One acre will pasture 36 head two months; lambs will
make a gain of from 8 to 12 pounds per month. Pigs
and cattle are also extremely fond of it. A very rank
grower and bears heavy manuring and high cultivation.
Sow at intervals of several weeks and secure a supply
of good feed. Sow in June. Rape should be fed in
August, though if a first crop be cut about 4 inches
from the ground an aftergrowth would be useful later.
Does well sown with oats. If soil is rich and clean sow
broadcast, otherwise in drills, and cultivate same as
corn. Poultrymen will do well to sow a small patch
to feed green to growing chicks. Can be sown on wheat
stubble, furnishing excellent pasture late in the fall.
Broadcasted it takes 8 to 10 pounds to the acre. Per
lb„ 15c; 10 lbs., $1.00.

SORGHUMS, OR CANE — In ordering these Sorghums
or Canes state whether you intend to sow for syrup or
for fodder.

TEXAS SEED RIBBON CANE, OR GOOSENECK

SORGHUM — Our stock seed comes from Texas, where it
is highly recommended. Both Goosenecked and straight-
necked plants appear in same field. Per lb., 10c.; 10 lbs.,
00c.

EARLY AMBER CANE — This popular and well known
variety is the earliest and makes the finest quality of
amber syrup and sugar. Succeeds well from Texas to
Minnesota. Per lb., 5c.

EARLY ORANGE CANE — A well known variety
adapted to the Southwest. It is from 8 to 10 days later
than the Early Amber. Per lb., 5c.

KANSAS ORANGE — A late variety and an excellent
one for syrup and forage. Per lb., 5c.

FORAGE, OR FODDER CANE — Cane seed is now
grown to a considerable extent for stock feeding. It
yields heavily. It can be raised anywhere, and is sown
extensively in dry regions where grasses do not do well.
Because of its sweetness it is greatly relished by cattle,
horses and sheep. For forage sow 50 pounds to the acre.
Ask for market prices.

FETERITA is a far better drouth resister than milo,
kaffir corn or any of the Forage Plants. It is a variety
of the Durra group, recently introduced from British
Egyptian Sudan. It produces stalks of medium size, bear-
ing 10 to 12 leaves and a large upright head, well filled
with pure white or bluish white seeds.

The grain is larger than that of milo and softer
than kaffir. Its feeding value is equal to either milo
or kaffir. It is about 25 days earlier than kaffir and
yields considerable more; 80 bushels per acre was re-
ported this season. The increased yield and the earliness
of this variety will bring it to the front rapidly. Pre-
paid, 1 lb„ 15c. Not prepaid, 10 lbs., 60c.

YELLOW MILO MAIZE (Milo) — Growth is tall, 9 to

12 feet, stooling from the ground, like White Milo Maize,
but not so much. It sends out shoots also from the
joints. Seed heads grow to great size, often weighing
% of a pound, sometimes a full pound, after ripening.
On account of the branching habits this grain should
be planted in rows 4 to 5 feet apart, and 2 to 3 feet
in the drill, or 2 plants in a hill, 3 to 5 feet apart. 1 lb.,
10c; 10 lbs., 50c.

DWARF MILO MAIZE — It differs from the Standard
Milo Maize in being dwarfed, growing from 3 to 5 feet
high, according to the amount of rainfall, and is straight-
necked. The advantage of this straightnecked feature is
apparent in gathering, feeding and cutting heads.

The Dwarf Milo Maize should be planted the same
as kaffir or milo and cultivated the same as Indian corn.
It can be fed in bundles or in head to work horses, cat-
tle and hogs. Stock seem to prefer it to corn and It
has a laxative effect on them, keeping them in good
condition.

While our stock is especially selected for straight
heads, owing to the constant tendency to revert to the
crooknecked type there will be a few crooknecked in the
field.

Drill bushel and broadcast 1 bushel to the acre.
Per lb., 10c; 10 lbs., 50c.

WHITE KAFFIR CORN — It grows 4 to 5 feet high,
making a straight, upright growth. It has a strong stem
with enormous wide leaves. The stalks keep green and
are brittle, making excellent fodder, either green or
dried, which is highly relished by cattle and horses. The
seed makes very fine chicken feed, and is universally
used for that purpose. The heads form at the top of
each stalk, and as soon as these show the grain well,
the joints next below the top send up shoots which yield
the seed heads. For the 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. Per lb., 5c.

HARNDEN’S^SELECTED SEED CORN

WHITE VARIETIES

At no time in the history of American Agriculture
has it been so necessary to secure maximum returns from
farming as at the present. There is no crop the farmer
raises that will give increased returns in proportion to
care in seed selection as corn. One grain of corn will
produce more corn than a similar quality of any other
cereal will produce of its kind. Plant good seed.

Unless otherwise noted, prices as follows: Not prepaid,

qt. 15c; % fou., 50c; 1 l)u., $1.75.

BOONE COUNTY WHITE (110 days) — Boone County
White is a very large, white corn, something like Silver
Mine, but larger and later in maturing. Ears are well
filled out at both ends, cylindrical, 9 to 11 inches long,
averaging 20 rows, some 18 and 22. Grain very deep;
a little rough. Cobs white, of medium size. Boone
County is a show corn, and has carried off many pre-
miums offered at corn contests — state and county fairs.
Price, not prepaid, qt., 15c; % bu., 60c; 1 bu., $2.00.

IOWA SILVER MINE — Silver Mine is deep grained,
pure white, rough topped, with a small white cob. Ears
run from 9 to 12 inches long, with 16 to 20 rows of
pure white kernels, solidly set on ears well filled out
at butt and tip. The cob being small it dries out rapidly,
and can be marketed early. This corn is a drouth re-
sister, maturing in hot climates where early drouths are
frequent. Stalks medium height, very leafy, with broad
blades, frequently bearing 2 ears weighing 1 to 1%
pounds each. This variety is a safe crop anywhere in
the corn belt, and in all the Southern states, including
Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky and
Virginia.

BOONE COUNTY WHITE.

IOWA SILVER MINE,

WHITE PERFECTION— It resembles the Reid’s Yel-
low Dent in size, only the length of the grain is nar-
rower and longer; usually running y2 inch in length
and from 24 to 26 rows to the ear. Ears run uniform
in size from butt to tip and filled out completely at
the ends. This corn yielded 70 bushels to the acre this
year and matured in about 105 days. We consider this
the best white corn on the market. We have selected
several hundred bushels of this corn and already have
sold part of it. Would advise you to give us your order
early. Price, not prepaid, qt., 1 5c; % bn., 60c; 1 bu„
$1.75.

ST. CHARLES (Red Cob) (110 days)— Superior Feed-
ing and Silage — Pure white corn with red cob, ears
large, moderately rough, deep grain. Stalks grow very
leafy and heavy and will produce enormous yields of
corn for husking crop or prove a mortgage lifter for
silage.

Being a native of St. Charles County, Missouri, this
variety is best adapted to the Southern states for a
husking corn and is in great demand in the Eastern
and Northern states for ensilage and fodder purposes.

Price, not prepaid, qt., 15c; % bn., 60c; 1 bn., $1.75.

CHAMPION WHITE PEARL — The stalk is short and
thick. The ears grow long on the stalk, from 7 to 12
inches in length, almost parallel throughout, of medium
size, averaging 16 rows of grains. The grains are pure
white, very deep, compact and heavy. The cob is small.
It makes a superior quality of corn meal. Also used
for roasting ears on account of its close resemblance
to sweet corn when green. Can be planted as late as
July 15 for this purpose.

WHITE ELEPHANT (100 days) — Alone in Its Class

■^To meet the increasing demands from our Southern
sister states we have increased our acreage of Nishna
Valley Elephant, or White Elephant. Experience has
taught us that this variety is a winner for the South-
ern grower, and when we learned that this corn made
ears like stove wood in the rich Delta lands of the
South we concluded to get as many planters as possible
to share in the success. As early as Silver Mine is it
is nearly one-half longer, and by many is claimed to be
the largest corn grown. Nishna Valley Elephant is rec-
ommended to planters who want a corn with a crack-
ing big ear, 12 to 15 inches long, with lots of corn
on it — a big stalk with medium big cob — in fact, an
Elephant all around. Nishna Valley Elephant is not a
handsome corn, but when it comes to filling the wagon
box it is on the Job. Price, not prepaid, qt., 15c; % bu-
60; 1 bu., $2.00.

HARNDEN’S SELECTED SEED CORN (Continued)

YELLOW VARIETIES

REIDS YELLOW DENT.

Unless Otherwise Noted, Prices ns Follows:

REID’S YELLOW DENT (110 days) — In answer tc
the question, “What Is the most popular variety of yel-
low Corn in the United States/’ we should be compelled
to say Reid’s Yellow Dent. This corn was originated
by Mr. James L. Reid, of Illinois, many years ago, and
in fixing the type he made a good job of it, for the high-
est skill of experts have failed to change it for the
better. It certainly is a thoroughbred. We offer the
pure type of this leading standard variety, which stands
among the best all-round purpose Yellow Dent Corn
grown.

Color deep yellow, with lighter cap. Grain very
deep, closely packed; butts and tips almost entirely
covered over. Slightly rough, with grains dented on
top. Leaves and stalks of Reid’s Yellow Dent make the
finest ensilage and fodder.

Reid's Yellow Dent is adapted to central and south-
ern portion of Iowa, Indiana and Illinois, Eastern Kan-
sas and Oklahoma, Southeastern Nebraska, Missouri,
Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Ala-
bama, Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia.

PRIDE OF THE NORTH (90 days) — This variety has
smaller ears than the late kinds, but is valuable, as it
matures early. Planted as late as July 4, it has fully
matured by October 2. The ears have from 14 to 16
rows, growing 8 to 10 inches in length, slightly tapering.
The kernels are closely set together on the cob, and
of a light orange color. The stalks usually grow 6
to 8 feet in heighth, producing 1 or 2 good ears. Our
seed of this variety has been grown for us with special
care from the original stock.

IMPROVED LEAMING (100 days)— This splendid
variety of yellow corn was originated in 1826, and has
been developed to a high state during the last ten years.
Ears from 9 to 11 inches long. Red cob, medium size.
Stalks, 9 to 12 feet high. Valuable for either forage
or ensilage. The large percentage of sugar in every
part of plant makes it the prize fodder or ensilage va-
riety. One of the best standard varieties grown, accord-
ing to soil and season.

GOLDEN BEAUTY (110 days) — The ears are of per-
fect shape, with from 10 to 14 straight rows of bright
golden yellow grains, remarkable in size and filled out
completely to the extreme end of the cob. The richness
of color and fine quality of grain make it vastly su-
perior for grinding into meal. The grains are not of
a hard, flinty nature, neither are they so soft as to be
greatly shriveled. The ears are easily shelled, although
the kernels are firm on the ear, and in every respect
as perfect a type as could possibly be had. Golden
Beauty matures in 100 to 110 days from planting and
surpasses all in size and beauty of grain.

RED OR CALICO CORN (110 days) — Mammoth Cal-
ico Dent — A large, vigorous grower, producing 75 to 85
bushels per acre; kernels same shape as Yellow Dent, but
longer and broader, specked with blotches of deep red.
One of the best corns grown for general farm uses. Price,
not prepaid, qt., 15c; % l*u., 60c; 1 bu., $2.00.

WRITE FOR PRICES ON LARGER QUANTITIES.

Qt., 15c; *4 Bu., 50c; 1 Bu., $1.75, not prepaid.

MAMMOTH IOWA YELLOW DENT (95 to 110 days)

— Mammoth Iowa Yellow grows a rugged stalk of me-
dium height, producing ears 9 to 12 inches in length,
and often as large as SVz inches in circumference. Ears
are well filled out with solidly set, deep kernels, rich in
oil, 16 to 22 rows on the cob. Color beautiful golden
yellow.

Mammoth Iowa Yellow is not adapted for high
altitudes, but should be planted in sections below the
Central Iowa line only. Makes splendid crops in South-
ern Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri,
Eastern Kansas, and bumper crops in Texas, Arkansas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee,
Kentucky and Virginia.

IOWA GOLD MINE (100 days) — Next to Reid’s Yel-
low Dent this variety is most popular yellow corn grown.
It is successfully raised in most every state in the
Union, and is the all-purpose corn. A good yielder,
either on hill or bottom ground, and is about 10 days
earlier than Reid’s Yellow Dent. Makes excellent feed-
ing corn and is very valuable as for ensilage, on ac-
count of the heavy growth. Ears are medium length and
small cob, grain deep and pure golden color and closely
packed.

EXTRA EARLY OHIO — RED RIVER STOCK.

IRISH COBBLER — The yield is very large for an
early variety — equal to some of the late ones. Form
oval and round; skin lightly netted, creamy white and
having few eyes, which are quite shallow — some even
with the surface. Flesh pure white and of the finest
quality — not exceeded by any early variety. Keeps per-
fect until spring, when it starts large, strong and vig-
orous sprouts. Its strong growth, earliness, uniformity,
large yield, fine quality and very handsome appearance
have brought the Extra Early Cobbler right to the
front as a profitable variety for market or home use.
Pk., 50c.

EXTRA EARLY TRIUMPH — Most desirable variety
for the South and is there considered the earliest Po-
tato in existence. A handsome round variety which ma-
tures before the Extra Early Ohio, and is wonderfully
productive. The tubers are not large, but are of a nice,
medium size for early use; round as a ball, and a beauti-
ful deep pink color. For several years it has been the
most popular variety in the Southern states, and hundreds
of carloads are shipped to the Northern markets, and
bring fancy prices. Not so desirable for main crop or
Northern growing. Pk., 50c.

We commence shipping as soon as danger of
frost is over, but will ship when requested at any
time when customers wish to take their own risk.

Potatoes may be grown in any ordinary soil, but
do best in sandy loam. Ten bushels cut tubers to the
acre.

We offer the following standard varieties, all
Northern grown.

EXTRA EARLY OHIO POTATO — Oar Specialty; a
Grand Potato — The Extra Early Ohio is fully two
weeks ahead of the Early Rose, and is a general
favorite with potato growers and marketmen alike,
and is the most profitable Potato they can possibly
grow The sprouts are very strong, the vines grow
erect and are easy to cultivate. Maturing early, it
brings the highest prices and the land can be used
for another crop that does well on any soil suitable
for Potatoes. The tubers grow compact in the hill,
ar9 easily dug, with very few small ones — nearly
every Potato is of marketable size; has few eyes,
which are even with the surface. With heavy ma-
nuring, close planting and good culture a very large
and profitable crop can be expected 200 to 275 bush-
els per acre is not an unusual yield. Our stock is
the Red River stock, direct from the North, and good,
pure strain. Pk., 40c.

RURAL NEW YORKER — One of the largest yield-
ing varieties in existence. Large and unusually smooth,
with few shallow eyes; skin white as is also flesh,
which is of superior quality. Medium late and the best
drouth resister. There is no other Potato of more
handsome appearance than the Rural New York. Al-
though it is a large yielder it grows but few and
small vines. It is very hardy and will stand the heavi-
est manuring without getting scabby or spotted. For
this reason it is one of the most desirable varieties for
farmers and potato growers near large cities to grow
for main crop for market. Pk., 40c.

BURBANKS — The best and most prolific of all late
varieties. Uniformly long and slightly flattened. En-
tirely free from knots and the eye even with surface.
Its flesh is finest texture and very free from black spots.
Cooks white as flour and is of the finest flavor. This
is the ideal Potato for late planting and many gardeners
plant them all during June and some as late as July
first. We recommend them very highly. Pk., 40c.

ASPINWALL POTATO PLANTERS — Recognized by
the large potato growers as the standard potato planter.
Write for information and special prices.

BEAUTY OF HEBRON — This is an old-time favorite
which mature* early; tubers have red and white skin,
grow to a good size and are of excellent quality. It
is also a very productive variety and a remarkably good
keeper. Pk., 40c.

EARLY ROSE — A little later than Early Ohio and
much larger in size. Is smooth and of handsome rose
color. A big yielder, often running 300 bushels to the
acre on good soil. Quality fine for either baked or
boiled. Pk., 40c.

The Miller Seed Potato Cutter

THE MILLER SEED POTATO CUTTER — The

construction is very simple; built for accuracy
as well as convenience. Strong and durable; the
knives are of good quality steel and are fitted to
grooves in frame, making them easy to remove if
necessary. It will cut any size potato in pieces uni-
form in size, thereby insuring more accurate plant-
ing when power planter is used. From 6 to 8 bush-
els can be cut with it in an hour. The saving in

HIGH GRADE FERTILIZER AND LAWN DRESSING

GOOD PROFITS CAN ONLY BE OBTAINED FROM
GOOD CROPS— Good Fertilizer will prepare the soil so
that it can be depended upon to produce good crops.

To those, if any there be, that doubt the efficacy
of fertilizing the land, we say, try an acre or two as
an experiment. The result will speak for itself. Our
prices include sacks and cartage to depot in Kansas
City, Mo., 1,000 pounds of one kind at ton rate, except
where 500-pound or 1,000-pound price is quoted. We
cannot break bags except as noted.

PRACTICAL FERTILIZATION — To enable the farm-
er to understand more thoroughly the science of fertili-
zation, we here dwell lightly upon the required ele-
ments for production of maximum crops:

AMMONIA, or Nitrogen, tends to promote leaf or
foliage growth. You will find it in various combina-
tions. In the form of salts or nitrates it is readily
available. All Ammoniates must be reduced to soluble
salts by the soil bacteria before they can be taken up
by the plant. By the application of Ammonia on land
that is low in humus the general foliage and root growth
is stimulated and the amount of vegetable matter in
the soil is multiplied many fold, in other words, humus
is grown.

PHOSPHORIC ACID tends to ripen the plant earlier,
bring out full, solid kernels in grain and give color to
fruits and vegetables. A moderate application of Phos-
phoric Acid, in hastening maturity, will get your fruit
and vegetable crops on the market ten days or two
weeks earlier than if not fertilized. This will often
more than double returns from your crops.

POTASH — The importance of this element should
not be overlooked. It acts as a strong feeding tonic to
all crops, giving healthy body to grain and luscious
flavor and high color to fruit. In the form in which
we carry it it is a wonderful insecticide and fungicide.
For root affections of grain and forage crops and scab,
etc., of potatoes and other truck it is unequaled; no
market product, the keeping qualities and general ap-
pearance of which is desired to be first class, should be
grown without an application of Potash.

WIZARD BRAND SHEEP MANURE — This is the best
and strongest in fertilizing and enriching elements, as it
contains Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid, Ammonia and Potash
in liberal proportions. Produces immediate and lasting
effect. Promotes steady and rapid growth. It is very
convenient to handle and easy to use. It is in concen-
trated form. In fact, the most efficient and practical
fertilizer of today. Sheep manure is carefully selected,
dried, pulverized and screened.

For Lawns — Pulverized Sheep Manure is the best
possible fertilizer for the lawn. It should be applied
by sprinkling lightly over the grass, same as one would
sow grass seed. It requires no raking in. The color
Is not conspicuous and there is no objectionable odor.

For the Garden — After the crop has been harvested
In the fall, the garden should be given a good coating
of Sheep Manure. In the spring put on another light
coat and turn it under, or sow lightly in the rows. By
the use of this fertilizer large crops will result; they
will mature early and they will be of superior quality.
This product is the best fertilizer for the home garden
yet offered.

For Public Parks — Sheep Manure is used on some
of the best nublic parks in this country, including the
beautiful park system of Kansas City. It is more ef-
ficient, easier to apply and has less odor than other
fertilizers, and does not have to be raked up.

— por Truck Garden — Sheep Manure is the best fertil-
izer for the truck garden, producing better and earlier
crops of onions, celery and other vegetables.

FOR FLOWER BEDS — Free blossoming can be in-
duced, or increased, by judicious use of Sheep Manure.
Snrinkle it carefully in the beds and both foliage and

two or three times during the season will give you as-
tonishing results. Always water plants thoroughly after

NITRATE OF SODA — Nitrate of Soda is not a substi-
tute for other manures, but we recommend it as the
cheapest and best form in which to apply Nitrogen to
plants. Gardeners who are using farm manure should
continue to use it, but use Nitrate of Soda in addition
to other fertilizers. If your object is to grow maximum
crops you must in some way furnish the plants with
Nitrogen. No matter what manure or fertilizer is used
the Nitrogen must be converted into Nitrate before the
plants can use it. Price (subject to market changes),
per lb., l«c; 5 lbs., 35c; 10 lbs., 60c; 25 lbs., $1.30; 100 lbs.,

ties.

which can be done by pounding. Use as a top dressing at
the rate of 100 lbs. per acre on the following vegetables,
when plants are well established: Beets, Cabbage, Cauli-

flower, Cucumber, Celery, Egg Plant, Lettuce, Spinach,
Onions.

For Asparagus, a top dressing of 250 lbs. per acre
just as soon as the first shoots make their appearance.

For Strawberries, a top dressing of about 100 lbs.

cate foliage, plant or fruit, when diluted with water as
directed.

Spraying of plants, etc., should be done late in the
day, early in the morning or on cloudy days, so as to
avoid the direct rays of the sun. With indoor plants a
moderately cool room is to be preferred. One thorough
careful spraying will exterminate the insects then alive;
but in cases where plants have been long infected a sec-
ond one should be given to kill the crop from eggs on
the ground which hatch after the first spraying was
given. The above applies to plants in greenhouses or
conservatories. Out doors conditions are different and
are affected by proximity to other unsprayed plants,
shrubs and certain varieties of trees on which the aphis

table scraps if you wish. If fed according to directions will not fail to
give perfect satisfaction. No feed in existence equals it to make hens
lay. Specially valuable for winter feeding.

storage. Will keep in any climate under all conditions.

25 lbs., $1.00; 100 lbs.. $3.00.

CHARCOAL — To keep fowls in a healthy state a
regulator of some kind must be fad. Nothing takes the
place of charcoal in this respect, as it purifies the blood,
aids digestion and tones up the whole system. No
matter whether your fowls are young or old, give them
an occasional feed of charcoal. Two sizes, fine and
coarse. 6 lbs., 25c; 50 lbs., $1.50; 100 lbs., $2.50. Comes

as shown by the chemical analysis. Send us a trial
order. You cannot afford to be without it. 15 lbs., 25c;

This hopper is constructed on a principle hitherto unused. Does away
with all trouble of feed clogging, no matter how coarse. The gradual en-
largement to the base together with the vibration of the fowls feeding from
the trough will force the feed downward. It is a great feed saver. Every safe-
guard has been placed in the construction of the trough to prevent the birds
from throwing out the feed. A trial will convince you that it is a hopper of
the greatest merit. Manufactured of heavy galvanized iron in three sizes:

No. 35 — S Yz inches wide, 12 quarts capacity $0.75

No. 36 — 12 inches wide, IS quarts capacity 1.00

Gardeners cultivate better than formerly. It has
been found to pay best. With the Twelve-Tooth Harrow
you go as deep or shallow as you like, come up close
to row without injuring plants, cuts out all the weeds,
6tlrs the soil and pulverizes it as fine as with a garden
rake. You widen and narrow as you please between
22 and 32 inches. It’s a special favorite with straw-
berry growers, market gardeners and truckers.

Double Wheel Hoes at Work in a Large Market Garden.

No other cultivating machine is so widely known
as the Planet Jr. Combined Horse Hoe and Cultivator,
for it is in use throughout the civilized world. It la
so strongly built as to withstand incredible strain, yet
it is light and easy to handle. It opens and closes
furrows, hoes right up to the plants without danger of
injuring, throws dirt to or from the row and throws
back from center again. You can cultivate to any
depth desired, and adjust for any width.
