orders C. O. D. by Post, Express or Freight only if 25 per
cent of the amount of order is enclosed. Plants we never
send out C. O. D.
Shipping. We will use our best judgment as to the best
way of sending orders when specific directions are not given.
We advise sending large “postpaid” orders by express if
you have an office near — it is safer. We prepay either postal
or express charges on items quoted “postpaid.” Poisons
and liquids are not mailable.
Seeds by Mail. We send by mail or express prepaid all
orders for flower and vegetable seeds (except beans, corn,
and peas.) We do not pay postage or express charges on

corn, peas, tools or plants, unless enough money is sent to
cover these charges. Correspondents in foreign countries
should add 12c for each pound or fraction thereof for post-
age. Canadian postage is 16c per pound.
For C. O. D. parcels there is a charge of 10c to cover regis-

Calendar of Planting Operations
DON’T work freshly wet ground DON’T plant Seeds or Bulbs in dry ground
DON’T set Plants or Roots without watering at once DON’T let weeds grow
HOT BEDS
There are several aids to the econom-
ical management of the garden which
are almost indispensable. The most im-
portant of these is the Hot Bed for
forwarding seedlings for early plant-
ing. Compared with the gain in time
and the satisfactory results obtained,
the trouble is very slight, while for
early vegetables for the market it is
imperatively necessary. The Hot Bed
is made in this way:: Get a quantity
of fresh horse manure, and mix thor-
oughly with about half its bulk in
straw, rotten leaves, etc., tramping it
down in successive layers. In two or
three days fermentation will be appar-
ent by the escape of steam from the
heap. Turn the heap over again and
allow it to remain two or three days
longer, or until the second fermenta-
tion begins. Then prepare a pit 2%
feet deep the size of the bed you pro-
pose. It should be in some dry shel-
tered spot, facing the south if possible.
The glass sashes are generally made 6
feet long by 4 feet wide, and a bed of
one sash will give early plants enough
for a large family. The Frame should
be 18 inches high at the back and 12
inches in front — this gives the proper
slope to catch most sunlight. When
everything is ready the manure is
placed in and trodden down firmly in
layers to the required depth— about
2 feet. Then keep the sash closed till
the heat rises. It will be too hot to
sow the seeds now, but in two or three
days it will subside to about 90 degrees,
when soil may be put on to the depth
of 6 to 8 inches. The soil should be
well-rotted sods mixed with fine old
manure in equal parts, and in this the
seed may be sown thinly in drills 2 or
3 inches apart, and afterwards either
thinned out or transplanted to another
part of the frame. Air must be given
every mild day by raising the sash at
the back. The same directions apply
to Hot Beds made on the surface of
the ground, except that the manure
should be at least a foot wider on all
sides than the frame.
THE COLD FRAME
Is just the Hot Bed without the ma-
nure heap. Fill the frame with rich
good soil — that taken from old hot beds
mixed with the fine rich manure from
them is best. It should be got ready
in Autumn and young Pepper, Tomato,
Egg Plant and Cucumber plants set in
it so that they get well established be-
fore cold weather. During cold nights
and stormy days the sash should be
kept closed — in mild days the air should
be admitted freely.
JANUARY
Flower Garden. If possible before spad-
ing have a good thick dressing of
stable manure applied and spaded un-
der . See to the sweet peas that were
planted in September and October.
Carefully hoe them and hill up a lit-
tle. Prepare hot bed for planting
half hardy plant seed, plants and cut-
tings. Make another planting of
sweet peas and all hardy annuals.
Vegetables. Presuming that you cov-
ered your ground with stable manure
before the early rains, would advise
working this into the soil as soon as
possible, either by spading or plow-
ing not less than 8 inches deen. If
there has not been enough rain to
put the soil in proper condition to
work (there shoul dhave been at least
3 inches of rain), you should irrigate
your ground, for your planting sea-
son is almost upon you and well pre-
pared soil means your crop half made.
Plant Beet; Swiss Chard; English
Broad Beans; Carrot; Lettuce; On-
ions; Radishes; Spinach; Turnips;
Early varieties of Potatoes; Early
Pea. In protected spots Canadian
Wonder Beans might be tried. Sow
seed of Broccoli and Brussel sprouts.
Cauliflower and Cabbage in beds. Set
out plants of this last group of Veg-
etables, also Asparagus, Horse Rad-
ish and Rhubarb. Hoe and hill up
any growing crops and keep all weeds
down as they sap the food from the
growing vegetables.
FEBRUARY
Flower Garden. This is really our
spring month. Plant nearly every-
thing in hardy annuals and peren-
nials. Thoroughly work up the sur-
face of soil after each rain, and keep
it mellow, which will hasten the
growth. Plant our Gladiolus and
Tuberoses, Yellow Callas, Anemones,
Ranunculus and Japanese Lilies, Iris,
etc. Plant Sweet Peas for late flow-
ering, all the varieties of annuals
and Perennial Poppies. Look after all
Carnations and if over two years old
should be replaced with young
plants. Carnations can be planted
any time of year, but this is a good
time for planting to get strong
plants for fall and winter blooming.
Vegetables. By the first of this month
your whole garden natch should be
spaded or plowed up, and raked or
harrowed down making a fine mulch
on the surface that the moisture may
be retained. After each rain storm,
when your soil gets to the right con-
dition work it up again with your
cultivator (a Norcross Cultivator is a
superior tool for this purpose in the
home garden) in this manner contin-
uing the mulch and keeping your soil
in excellent condition for the growth
of your plants with a minimum of ir-
rigation. If you want your ground
put in a finer condition we find that
a five tined Potato hook is an excel-
lent implement. During this month
nearly everything can be planted.
Put out plants or roots of Aspara-
gus; Green Globe Artichokes; Cab-
bage and Cauliflower; Chives; Garlic
and Onion Sets; Horse Radish and
Rhubarb. For Seed, plant Artichoke
Asparagus any variety; Canadian
Wonder Ventura Wonder and Broad
Windsor Beans; Carrots; Cauliflower;
Chervil; Collards; Chicory; Corn-Sal-
ad and Pepper Cress; Extra Early
Adams Corn; Dandelion; Endive and
the Herbs; Kale; Onions; Leek; Peas;
Parsley; Parsnips; Winter Crimson
Rhubarb Seed sown now will produce
next winter; Radish; Salsify; Tur-
nip. The last o fthis month get your
seed beds ready for Celery. Look
after stuff in the Hot Beds and cold
frames, they should be tended every
day. If the days are very cold, wa-
tering with warm water often helps
your young plants along. See that
the Sweet Potatoes are not rotting, if
so, there is still time to put in more.
Put in early varieties of Tomatoes.
MARCH
Flower Garden. Plant Gladiolus and
Tuberoses, Begonias (Tuberoous root-
ed) for succession . This is the best
garden month in the year for Cali-
fornia, and all kinds of work is in
order. Also weeds make big growth
this month. Look out and keep
them out of garden. Plant Antirrhin-
um Intermediate Stocks. (This Stock
if planted now will bloom in Septem-
ber and October when flowers are
scarce. You can successfully plant
nearly everything in the flower, shrub
and tree line; nearly all danger of
frost is past by the 15th of this
month, and all work should be care-
fully pursued and secure all the help
needed t odo it up promptly, as a
little neglected this month may mean
considerable, loss later. Plant Roses
and all hardy bush stuff. Be sure
and try our Giant Comet Aster — best
that money will buy.
Vegetables. During this month your
garden will be filled to overflowing
so to speak. If one is not careful, by
this time, everything already plant-
ed is making a showing and the tend-
ency is to put in more. Thin out "our
beets, carrots and all subjects that
haven’t room to make their natural

size without crowding. Young beets
the size of a walnut with their tops
make fine greens.
For succession plant Beet; Carrot;
Early Corn; Turnip; Radishes; Cab-
bage; Lettuce; Spinach or Peas may
be sown. Plant Early Beans. Ken-
tucky Wonders may be put out the
last of the month if it is warm. This
is the month that more Potatoes are
planted than any other month of the
year, plant all varieties. White Rose
are the best for Southern California.
Set out your Cabbage, Cauliflower, Pee-
per, Tomato, Egg Plants and Sweet
Potato Plants, and Onion and Garlic
Sets. Plant Early White Bush and
Fordhook Squash, Peas, Musk Melons
and Water Melons, MORRIS &
SNOW’S Special White Spine Cucum-
ber and most varieties of seeds.
APRIL
Flower Garden. Renew your hanging
baskets that have not stood the win-
ter well, by getting new ones, those
injured by the cold should be dis-
carded. You can now plant Dahlias,
also Gladiolus. If your supply of
Aster plant sis short, there is yet
lots of time to get them in flower.
Use our Branching for late, Comets
for medium season, and Dwarf for
early flowering. Our Asters are fine.
Vegetables. This is a month full of
work, everything should be making
rapid growth, especially weeds which
continuous hoeing and cultivating
only will keep down, and should
there not be frequent showers, irri-
gating must be resorted to.
Apjril is the best month for plant-
ing the more delicate crops as we
often have killing frosts up to the
first of April. Have such as Sweet
Potatoes, Egg Plant, and Tomato
Plants ready to put out by the 15th.
Sow seed of tender crops such as Cu-
cumbers, Musk Melons and Water
Melons; Okra; Roselle; Pole and Bush
Beans in variety; Summer Squashes;
Winter Squash. For the general gar-
den you can still plant Artichoke and
Asparagus, Beet; Carrot; Cannon
Ball and Winningstadt Cabbage;
Snow Ball Cauliflower; Sweet Corn;
Celery; Herbs; Swiss Chard; Endive;
Iceberg Lettuce; White Bunching On-
ion; Parsley; Parsnip; Radishes;
Yorkshire Hero Peas; Rhubarb; Salsi-
fy; Spinach; Turnips.
MAY
Flower Garden. If you have been fol-
lowing our advice, you now have
great quantities of flowers, but for
fall-flowering sow Nasturtiums,
Phlox, Salpiglossis, Centaurea, Dian-
thus and Mignonette now, and if
you once try our Scabiosa you will
wonder at its immense size. Also
try our Digitalis, Campanulas and
Delphinium. The last four are among
our greatest specialties, all from
finest stock.
Vegetables. The weather warms up
this month and all vegetation attains
its prime, much of the stuff that was
planted early reaches its maturity.
To get the most satisfaction from
your home gr,own vegetables, use
them before they are over ripe, pithy
or strings. It is much better to hoe
up all old stuff and put that space
into new crop.
Irrigation will no doubt begin in
earnest in this month, give your
ground a thorough wetting every two
weeks. Plant Bush, Pole and Lima
Beans; Carrots; Beets; Sweet and
Field Corn; Squash; Pumpkins and
Melons; Spinach; Radishes and Tur-
nips. It is not too late, yet to set out
Sweet and Chili Peppers, Egg Plants,
Cabbages, Cauliflowers; Sweet Pota-
toes and Stone and Beefsteak Toma-
to Plants.
JUNE
Flower Garden. Trim edgings of bor-
der and hedges and carefully attend
the watering. Dahlias and Gladiolus
may still be plnted. Sow Eucalyptus
seeds for winter planting.
Vegetables. The principal thing this
month is to keep your crops growing,
cultivate thoroughly, stake up Pole
Beans and Peas,- hill up all growing
crops, fill in vacant spaces with any-
thing suggested for last month, but
especially plant Beans and Corn, for
succession.
JULY
Flower Garden. Continue to dig and
store bulbs as they ripen. Trim edg-
ings and hedge-rows and sow per-
rennial flower seeds in shady situa-
tions. Continue sowing Eucalyptus
and Cypress seeds. Our finest Pansy
and stock seed come in this month.
This seed is the best that money can
buy and if planted this month will
come in bloom for early fall.
Vegetables. This is one of the harvest
months. As you clean off the ground,
level and irrigate it thoroughly and
put in shape for fall plantings. Plant
Beans, Corn, Beet, Iceberg and Let-
tuce, Radishes, Spinach and Peas. Sow
Seed of Cabbage, Early Cauliflower,
Peppers and Tomato for fall plant-
ings. Early varieties of Potatoes may
be put in the last of July.
AUGUST
Flower Garden. This is the best month
in the year in which to sow hardy
perennials. Most varieties if sown
this month will flower the next year.
Also sow Calceolaria, Cineraria,
Pansy and Primula seeds. Continue
growing Eucalyptus and Cypress
seeds. Don’t water Roses this or next
month at all. Let them dry down.
Be sure and get our Pansy, Stock and
Centaurea seed now. Sow Sweet Peas
this month for flowering during holi-
days. Use Morris & Snow’s Pedigree
Strain Christmas Flowering Sweet
Peas.
Vegetables. August begins our second
Spring, being that you will have to
irrigate instead of depending on the
rains. Make your main planting of
fall Potatoes. Plant Bush Beans;
Large Adams and Heath’s Early
Corn; Beet; Carrots; Swiss Chard;
Endive; Kale; Kohlrabi; Iceberg Let-
tuce; Bermuda Onions; Parsley; Par-
snip; Radishes; Spinach; Turnip;
Peas, Summer Squash and Davis Per-
fect Cucumber in protected spots.
Plan Tomatoes, Egg Plant, and Chi-
nese Giant Pepper for Winter Crop.
SEPTEMBER
Flower Garden. Commence planting
Hyacinths, Tulips, Anemones and
other Dutch bulbs toward the end
of the month. Prick off Calceolarias,
Cinerarias and Primulas sown last
month • into small pots and continue
sowing same for succession. Plant
winter Sweet Peas. (See special list.)
Also sow in all the hardy annuals and
perennials. Our Pansies and Stocks,
Scabiosa and Centaureas are the fin-
est procurable. Plant now.
Vegetables. Make heavy planting in
root crops for winter use. Plant
Beets; Swiss Chard; Endive; Kohir-
abi; Kale; Lettuce; Onions; Onion
Sets; Parsley; Parsnips; Spinach and
Turnips in variety. Peas planted now
will be in for the holidays. In pro-
tected places also plant Canadian and
Ventura Wonder Beans. Set out
plants of Cabbage, Cauliflower, To-
matoes, etc., etc., of which seeds were
planted a month or so ago.
OCTOBER
Flower Garden. Commence planting
Hyacinths, Tulips, Narcissus and all
Dutch bulbs as soon as they arrive.
You should try our Tulips. We can
furnish you these in varieties that
will produce flower stems 12 to 16
inches long. These varieties are un-
known to the general trade, and if
you get them they will have to come
from us. Sow Pansies again this
month, also Stocks, Scabiosa, Winter
Sweet Peas, Phlox, Dianthus, etc., for
winter flowering. Mulch and manure
Roses and thoroughly water them,
give lots of manure and you will have
good flowers if you did not let them
grow during last two months.
Vegetables. Watch your garden closely
as the ground dries out very fast
these autumn days. It takes much
watering and cultivating to keep
stuff growing. Transplant Tomatoes,
Peppers, Cabbage, etc., to the open
ground. Plant Beets, Windsor Broad
Beans, Brussels Sprouts; Carrots;
Swiss Chard; Endive; Chicory; Let-
tuce; Leek; Garlic Sets; Parsnip;
Radishes; Turnip; Winter Spinach.
Dig your Sweet Potatoes before the
frost nips the foliage — frosted Sweet
Potatoes lose thei rflavor and their
keeping qualities.
NOVEMBER
Flower Garden. Continue planting
Bulbs, such as Hyacinths, Narcissus,
Tulips, etc. Get our special direc-
tions on their care in Southern Cali-
fornia. Sow Pansy seed, Stocks,
Phlox, Dianthus, Centaureas, etc.,
and place your orders for early sup-
ply of Roses, Carnations, etc. ''Be
sure and get our lists). Thoroughly
mulch the garden with stable manure
or fertilizer.
Vegetables. It is well to cover all un-
occupied ground with stable manure
as the rains should begin this month,
and it is well to have the fertilizer
on the ground before the rains come
that "mi may get the full benefit of
the leaching. Put out Chives and
Rhubarb Roots, Plant Beets; Carrots;
Broccoli; Cabbage; Cauliflower; Lu-
eullus; Swiss Chard; Silverskin On-
ion; Parsley; Spinach; Radish; Tur-
nip; Peas.
DECEMBER
Flower Garden. Finish planting Dutch
Bulbs this month. Look about for
your supply of hardy bedding
plants — Roses, Salvias, Carnations,
also plant Japanese Lilies, Pansies,
Stocks, Sweet Peas, Phlox, Mignon-
ette, Candytuft; Alyssum, Cosmos,
etc. Thoroughly protect tender stuff.
Vegetables. It ts well to be getting
ready now for your early plantings.
Have your ground all dug up 8 to 10
inches deep and well pulverized.
Plant Windsor Beans; Turnip Beets;
Brussels Sprouts; Cabbage and Cauli-
flower in variety; Carrots; Endive;
Swiss Chard; New York Special and
Wonderful Lettuce; Onion Seed and
Sets; Radishes; Winter Spinach;
Leek; Collards; Kale and Mustard.
Strawberry; Rhubarb; Horse Radish
and Asparagus Plants are ready for
setting.

A WORD ABOUT SOILS
In California we have a great var-
iety of soils. This with a variation in
climate makes farming and gardening
in California a continual study and ex-
periment. By following closely the
general directions given at the head of
each division throughout this catalogue
under “Cultural Directions,” you can
look for satisfactory results from your
planting.
Soils can be divided into various
classes and designated by special terms.
Sandy, Loamy and Clay Soils. Sandy
soils are 75 per cent and over of pure
sand; Loamy soils 50 per cent sand;
Clay soils less than 25 per cent sand.
In sand there is practically no available
plant food, but when thoroughly mixed
with clay and humus a most desirable
soil, a sandy loam is formed. Clay
soils are full of plant food, but being
so compact it does not give the roots
a chance to take it up. By adding sand
it breaks up the clay and makes the
plant food available, and by adding
leaf mold humus it makes the soil light,
allowing air spaces, thus keeping the
soil sweet as well.
Never work your soil when it is mud-
dy (saturated with water), wait until,
when you dig it up it will pulverize
when you strike it with the back of
your shovel. Dig or plow the soil deep.
Harrow well in field culture or rake in
garden culture as soon as possible. This
packs the ground and makes a fine
mulch, as it were, to hold the moisture.
In sowing your seed get them into
moist soil — scrape the top inch or two
of dry soil away if necessary — and
cover the seed about four times its di-
ameter with damp soil, press the soil
gently, then pull some of the dry top
soil over it to act as a mulch. With
this treatment the seed will sprout and
the plant will get well out of the
ground before any water need be ap-
plied.
Sometimes the soil is too dry to per-
mit complete germination. If water is
required do not sprinkle, but rather
run a small furrow beside each row
and let the water run slowly through
the furrow.
After a couple of days work up the
soil with a fine toothed cultivator. This
puts the moisture where it belongs
and keeps your soil in the best condi-
tion. Throughout the whole year this
method of wetting the plants is thor-
oughly recommended although during
the cooler months sprinkling may be
indulged in.
General Notes on Fertilizing — The
principal elements of plant foods are
Nitrogen, Phosporous and Potassium
(potash).
Nitrogen is furnished by nitrate of
soda, nitrate of potash, ammonium sul-
phate, stable manure, blood, tankage
and bone, or by the action of nitrate-
producing bacteria. It is the most
costly of all fertilizers when purchased
in the chemical form, and the most
difficult to retain in the soil. By the
use of Farmogerm Inoculation, large
amounts of available nitrogen may be
supplied to the soil at small expense,
the amount depending on the care tak-
en to keep the soil in sweet condition.
A thrifty legume crop inoculated with
Farmogerm Inoculation may be counted
on to supply the soil with from 500 to
1,000 pounds of nitrate to the acre.' By
express only.
For prices and description on Farmo-
germ see page 24.

Rule — Multiply the distance in feet between the rows by the distance the
plants are apart in the rows, and the product will be number of square
feet for each plant or hill, which divided into the number of square feet
(43,560) will give the number of plants to the acre.

AGRICULTURAL AND FIELD SEEDS
Salt Bush. (Creeping Salt Bush. Atri-
plex Semibaecata). This is a pro-
cumbent prostrate, many branched,
slender, perennial plant, with her-
baceous stems, spreading from 3 to
6 or more feet. Grows on dry hill
sides and recommended for sowing
on ranges for cattle and sheep. 5 to
10 lbs. to the acre. Oz. 10c; lb. $1.00;
postpaid.
Special prices on quantities on ap-
plication.

this state, and is one of the principal
Winter forage plants, either for stock
or sheep. Plant 4 to 6 pounds to acre.
Lb. $1.00, postpaid.
SUDAN GRASS
Sudan Grass has been endorsed by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture per U. S. Farmers Bulletin
No. 605. It has also been endorsed
by virtually every Commercial v^iub,
Agrictulural College, Farm Journal
and others interested in the welfare
of the farmer. Live stock find Sudan
Grass particularly palatable and
show a marked preference for it
over other forage. For beef and
milk, work and driving animals, it
has proved to be a splendidly nutri-
tious feed. It is sure to become an
important ensilage crop. Mr. B.
Youngblood, Director, Texas Experi-
ment Stations, says: “There is no
better grass in the world for condi-
tioning work animals or milk pro-
duction than Sudan.”
How to Plant — Sudan Grass may be
planted in cultivated rows, in close
drills, or broadcast. When the sup-
ply of seed is limited, it is recom-
mended that the crop be planted in
cultivated rows thirty-six inches
apart, and for such seeding, from one
and one-half to three pounds of seed
per acre. In arid regions this is the
best planting process. Where the
rainfall is ample or it is to be sown
for hay, it can either be sown in drills
eighteen inches apart, using six
pounds per acre, or be sown broad-
cast, using fifteen to twenty pounds
per acre. It should not be planted
until all danger of frost is over and
the ground thoroughly warm, as the
young plant is more tender than
sorghum. It should be planted as
soon as danger of frost is past, in
order to give time for several cut-
tings during the season. Sudan Grass
■does not produce root stock, and in
this country is strictly an annual. It
does not infest the land like John-
son grass, the roots are easily eradi-
cated by plowing. 1 lb. 60c postpaid.
Buckwheat. An excellent bee pasture
and cover crop.

COVER CROP
Cover Crop. It is as important to use
a legume for a cover crop for Green
Manuring, in orchards as it is to ro-
tate crops in general farming and
gardening. By sowing a cover crop
you get nitrogen and humus in the
best way as well as the cheapest.
Legumes are the cheapest fertilizers
and they give the soil plant food in
the most available condition. We
carry crops in variety at prices sub-
ject to market changes. In asking
for quotations always state the quan-
tity wanted.
Canadian White Peas. Especially rec-
ommended on melon lands. Lb. by
mail 15c. Ask for prices on large
quantities.
Fenugreek (Trigonelia Foenumgroe-
cum). A valuable cover crop on
heavy soils. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. to an
acre. Lb. 15c, 10c extra for postage.

cropper and when grown with Tim-
othy makes an excellent hay. Per
lb. postpaid 40c. Write for prices in
larger quantities.
Vetch Spring (Vicia Satlva). It does
best when sown by the first of Octo-
ber. Per lb. 20c postpaid; 10 lbs. 75c,
delivery extra. Ask for prices on
large quantities.
ALFALFA SEED
We are at all times prepared to fur-
nish high grade clean seed of this very
important article and will be pleased
to quote firm market price at any time.
Small quantities 30c per lb.; 40c post-
paid.
Chilian. The common variety and the
best for cutting cured hay in Califor-
nia. Price 30c per lb., postage extra.
Peruvian and Hairy Peruvian are both
heavier yielding varieties than the
Chilian, but are better adapted to
Arizona and Colorado desert or for
using as green feed in the coast val-
leys. Prices per lb. 40c and 50c re-
spectively, postage extra. Samples
and quantity prices gladly furnished.
Broad Windsor or Horse Bean. Has an
upright growth producing a heavy
crop of foliage and pods. The main
roots grow straight down, thus break-
ing up the sub-soil. A heavy pro-
ducer of nitrogen, lb. 25c postpaid,
write for quantity prices.
Speltz (Emmer). One of the best dry
land grains yet introduced. It does
well on most any soil. Stock relish
it either green or dry and the grain
makes excellent stock and poultry
feed. lb. 20c postpaid. Write for
quantity prices.
Egyptian Wheat (Shallu). A rank
growing fodder and grain plant of
great merit recently introduced.
Grows six to ten feet high, produc-
ing four crops of fodder or two crops
of grain in a season. Sow five pounds
seed per acre. lb. 25c postpaid.
Write for quantity price.
Texas Seeded Ribbon Cane (Goose-
neck). In Texas it has been planted
principally to make syrup; but ex-
periments have demonstrated that of
all varieties of sorghum none can
compare in yield with the Seeded
Ribbon Cane, which has yielded about
fifty tons of fodder per acre, against
15 tons of other varieties. It grows
ten to fifteen feet high with abund-
ant foliage. Why should you be
satisfied with ten tons of ensilage
per acre, when with the same ex-
pense you can grow forty tons?
Drill in rows 3% ft. apart, using ten
lbs. seed per acre. lb. 20c postpaid.
Write for quantity prices.
Red Top Sorghum. This is consid-
ered the best variety of all the sor-
ghums. Because of its luxuriant foli-
age, abundant stooling of tall succu-
lent canes and large percentage of
saccharine it is better for foliage or
ensilage, and the large compact
heads of grain which readily sep-
arates from the chaff adds to its value
as food for stock. Wherever the
Red Top is known its popularity
supercedes all other sorghums. lb.
20c postpaid. Write for quantity
prices.

ASPARAGUS
Culture. Being a perennial asparagus
should be planted where it will not be
disturbed. If it is planted only for
private use, the row or rows should be
established at one side of the garden
patch, where it will not be in the way
when cultivating the other parts of the
garden. Asparagus requires a deep,
rich, cool soil heavily manured and
thoroughly tilled. Plant seed in beds
or rows cover about 1 inch. Keep wat-
ered and weeded first year, and if too
thick in bed thin out to two or three
inches apart, and you get better roots.
After one year’s growth they can be
transplanted to rows three to four feet
apart and one foot apart in the row.
Although two year old plants are pre-
ferable for transplanting they will
then produce the following Spring.
Cultivation should be done early in the
Spring before the shoots start and in
the fall after "cutting” is over. Cut
the foliage off as soon as it begins to
turn yellow and burn it so as to pre-
vent rust getting started and also to
get rid of the seed which if allowed to
get onto the ground will be coming up
all over the patch and be a nuisance.
Cover with heavy dressing of manure
during winter. It takes about 7,000
plants to set an acre or about two
pounds of seeds. An ounce will produce
300 good plants.
Early Giant Argenteuil. This is the
famous Paris Specialty. The stocks
grow to a mammoth size. When well
grown some weigh 4 oz. The head
is slightly pointed, with a tinge of
purple. It is early and very vig-
orous. Our seed is from one of the
largest Asparagus plantations near
Paris. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 30c;
lb. $1.00.
Use our coupon order sheet. It gives
you $1.35 worth for $1.00.
Asparagus, Giant Argenteuil
Connover’s Colossal. Considered the
best for market gardeners. Pkt. 5c;
oz. 10c; lb. 75c.
Palmetto. The leading and most popu-
lar variety for the home garden or
market. The tender sprouts are
green and its delicious flavor makes
this variety the favorite for table
use. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; lb. 75c.
Asparagus Roots. See page 26.
ARTICHOKE
Culture. Like Asparagus this is a
perennial, so when planting one should
put it where it need not be moved from
year to year. Sow seed from January
to June and transplant to permanent
place when about eight inches high.
Plant the seed one inch deep in well
worked, damp loam soil.
Artichokes do not come absolutely
true from seed, some of the seedlings
showing the original thorny type; how-
ever, when transplanting select only
the plants showing the smoother leaves,
discarding the others.
Selected Large Green Globe. The stand-
ard variety. Pkt. 10c; oz. 45c.
Remontant. One of the finest; large
dark green without any spines; bears
twice with us, i. e., in spring and

OUR NEW POLE BEAN
Gray Seeded Kentucky Wonder. — This
has .proven itself to be a giant
grower, very hardy, and a superb
flavored bean. Absolutely stringless,
extra long flat pod, much larger than
Kentucky Wonder, and all that have
tested them, pronounce them much
better than Kentucky Wonder. They
are immense cropper, producing
heavy yields. The bean itself is very
large, larger than Canadian Wonder,
of a speckled gray, slate color, makes
an excellent green shell bean, and
before drying down the bean is near-
ly as large as a Lima bean. Pkt. 5c;
lb. 35c, postpaid.
BEANS — LIMAS, ETC.
Lima Beans are more difficult to get
started than other beans but the ma-
ture plants are hardier than the
smaller podded varieties. Plant not
earlier than April or later than Au-
gust 1st, except in particularly favor-
able frostless locations.

Culture. While Beans are a tender
plant and in most parts of the country
they are essentially a summer crop, we
find in Southern California that by us-
ing the Early and Hardy varieties.
Beans may be on the table from the
last of May till well into December.
Plant about two inches deep in well
prepared soil. Each bean should be
about 2 inches apart in rows, 24 to 36
inches apart or in hills one foot apart,
3 or 4 seeds to a hill. Be very cautious
and not cultivate deep after they begin
to shoot up, especially after in bloom
but keep surface well worked and
clean of weeds. Spray with sulphur
just about the time they come into
bloom — best a little before the bloom
commences, and repeat shortly after in
full bloom.
This treatment will check mildew and
keep it away. Plant 50 lbs. Bush
Limas, 35 lbs. Pole Limas, and 50 lbs.
Snap Beans to the acre.
Prices on Beans are subject- to mar-
ket changes. Ask for prices on large
quantities.

beans become affected by rust and mil-
dew.

Fordhook Bush. This wonderful Lima
is comign more into favor each year.
It out-yields any Bush Lima yet ofr
fered. Best results are obtained by
planting Fordhooks in hills, two feet
apart in rows and the rows four feet
apart. Its height is from twenty-two
to twenty-four inches and it bears in
clusters of two to five, well out from
the plant on long spikes. . There are
from three to five beans in each pod,
with an average of four. The seeds
are round and thick, and have a mild,
delicious flavor. This delicious bean
is far ahead of anything which any-
body has shown in Lima Beans up
to the present time. Pkt. 10c; lb.

pared with Burpee’s Bush Lima both
pods and beans are very much larger,
Burpee’s Improved Bush Lima
while the beans, either green or dry,
are nearly twice as thick. Even when
of full size the enormous beans are of
the most luscious flavor; they are thin
skinned and truly delicious; they are

earlier.
The large clusters of great big pods
hang well out from the foliage, getting
lots of sunshine and air.

MONSTROUS BUSH LIMA
This would better be called
Monstrous Vining Lima because
the runners often grow to twen-
ty feet or more in length, produc-
ing clusters of enormous beans
at each joint or node. Individual
pods are from one and a quarter
to two inches wide, containing
beans larger than a fifty cent
piece.
The Monstrous Lima makes
such a vigorous growth that it
is not profitable to plant them
closer than eight feet apart, thus
it requires only four or five
pounds of seed to plant an acre.
It takes the Monstrous Lima
about five months from seeding
to time of picking, so it is advis-
able to get them planted at least
by May first. They are excellent
both as green, shelled or dry
beans. Pkt. 10c; lb. 40c, post-

growth, with many large branches or
runners, producing a great many fine
pods which are closely filled with large
beans. In shape the bean is similar to
the Burpee’s Improved. The pods con-
tain from three to four beans.
It is fine flavored and more tender
when cooked than white seeded bean,
and making it more pleasing to garden-
ers and housekeepers.
It is the most perfect pole lima bean.

for poultry and improved varieties
for your table.
Swiss Chard — Lyon
Lyon. “An asparagus all summer.”
There are few vegetables which re-
quire less care during their growth,

of two to two and one-half feet. The
stalks are as thick and broad as
those of Rhubarb, being one and one-
half inches broad, heavily ribbed and
from ten to twelve inches long be-
low the leaf. These stalks are de-
licious when cooked and served in the
same manner as asparagus. In the
new Lucullus the leaves are larger
and sharply pointed- at the top, while
the texture is heavily crumpled or
“savoyed,” more crisply, tender and
of finer flavor. The leafy portion of
the foliage is cooked and served in
the same manner as Spinach. The
leaves and stalks served as separate
vegetables afford two distinct dishes
from the same plants at one time.

lowing are a few suggestions that can
be experimented with to suit the indi-
vidual taste:
1. Fried like onions: Sliced very
thin and fried with quantity of onion,
in bacon drippings, Is both a quick and
good manner of preparation.
2. Breaded: Also to boil until ten-
der; slice, dip in egg and cracker
crumbs and try it.
3. Roasted: Halve lengthwise, re-
move seed, salt well, and bake in roast-
ing pan with meat.
4. Bioled dinner. Cook with old-
fashioned boiled dinner as you would
carrots or turnips.

CELERIAC-Turnip Rooted
Celery
Celeriac is grown for the large tur-
nip-shaped roots, which are stewed or
used for flavoring soups. The plants
are set six to eight inches apart and
are not earthed up, but kept constantly
hoed to encourage a large growth. Pkt.
5c; oz. 20c; Vi tb. 60c; tb. $2.00.
CELERY
Culture. Sow the seed from January
to May in drills twelve inches apart,
not too thick in the row to secure
stocky plants. In July when the plants
are strong, transplant to furrows four
feet apart and six inches deep. Set
the plants six inches apart in the fur-
row; as the plants grow, fill the soil
around them for proper blanching.
Dwarf Golden Self-Blanching. This is
the most popular and profitable cel-
ery grown. It is always in great de-
mand where good celery is appreci-
ated. On account of the unsettled
conditions throughout France where
our Celery seed grows, our crop of
Golden Self Blanching has been al-
most nothing and consequently the
price has materially advanced. Not-
withstanding our seed will be of its
usual high quality. Pkt. 10c; oz. $1.50;

CARROTS
Culture. Although carrots are hardy
after the plant is established it is
difficult to get a good stand unless the
soil is well prepared and of such a
nature that it will not bake, for the
seeds are small and slow to germinate.
Carrots are sown the year around in
deeply tilled, sandy, loam soil. Sow
one inch deep in rows 15 to 20 inches
apart. Thin out to 4 inches apart when
plants are two inches high. Keep well
cultivated and irrigate every two
weeks. Two and a half pounds will
plant an acre. One ounce to 150 ft. of

produce parsnip-like roots which
should be taken up in fall, trimmed
and planted in a cool bed covered
with about 8 inches of soil. Over
this should be placed a layer of fresh
manure two to three inches deep,
which forces a new growth of tender
leaves that are used as a salad. It
is considered a great delicacy. Pkt.

CASABAS — See under Melons.
Cauliflower — Dry Weather
CAULIFLOWER
Culture. Cauliflower is a hardy plant
and should be grown during the cool
seasons in good soil with plenty of
moisture at the roots. Sow seeds of
early and medium early varieties dur-
ing May and June, however, there is
considerable chance in growing Cauli-
flower so early as it needs cool weather
during the heading periods, if the fall
months are warm the Cauliflower will
be small and strong tasting. Seed sown
from August to February produce the
best heads. California Pearl and Drv
Weather are used the most. Set plants
of early varieties 18 to 20 inches apart
and late varieties 20 inches apart in
rows three feet apart.
Cauliflower should be kept growing
constantly, as it may be injured by
a check at any period of its growth;
hence irrigate it freely. One ounce of
seed produces two thousand plants;
four ounces to the acre.

be sold cheap, but the shrewdest gar-
deners find it the most profitable.
Pkt. 25c; Vi oz. 75c; oz. $2.50; Vi tb.
$8.50.
Dry Weather. It produces large solid
white heads and is an early variety.
It is especially adapted for growing
in dry locations where other va-
rieties fail. Especially recommended
for Southern California and Arizona.

MORRIS & SNOW SEED COMPANY
CABBAGE
Culture. Sow the seed thinly in beds,
either in drills or broadcast from Au-
gust to April. Care should be taken if
too thick to thin out so as to avoid
spindling plants. After plants are
seven or eight inches high, transplant
to field where they are to grow. Keep
continually moist, never allow to grow
dry, or they will most likely “shoot”
to seed when watered again. Set the
plants of small heading early varieties
about 18 inches apart in rows two and
a half feet apart and late large headed
varieties 24 to 30 inches apart in rows
three to four feet apart. It requires
about '7,000 plants to set an acre or
about six ounces of seed.
A11 Seasons. The heads are very hard
and solid, round flattened on the top.
It is very early but still of a good
large size. It is called All Seasons

OUR NEW CABBAGE
Cannon Ball — An early white
round headed cabbage of ex-
cellent quality. Although the
Cannon Ball cabbage is an
early variety it produces a
good-sized firm head with a
small core and the leaves with
small .midveins making a fine
grained sweet cabbage. By
setting the plants 12 to 14
inches apart heads weighing
from 3 to 5 pounds will be pro-
duced, but by setting them 18
to 24 inches the heads will
range up to 10 and 12 pounds
each. Cannon Ball cabbage will
come in from two to six weeks
earlier than the Winningstadt
and will out-yield it any sea-
son. Each year the demand for
Cannon Ball cabbage increases.
Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; Vi lb. $1.20;

round, hard heads very early in the
season. As early as the Charleston
Wakefield. It is the most popular
early cabbage in the markets of Co-
penhagen, and is becoming popular in
America. Plants are short stemmed,
producing heads almost on the
ground. The light green colored
leaves are medium in size, saucer
shaped, and are always tightly folded;
the plants may therefore be set
closer than most other early vari-
eties. It is a vigorous grower and
yielder, as are all cabbages from
Denmark, and an excellent keeper.

CORN
If ordering more than one pound of
corn to come by post, figure the first
I pound at the prepaid price to cover
packing and postage, and for the re-
maining pounds remit only the f. o. b.
price, plus the regular parcel cost
charges above the initial pound rate
as shown in our chart on page 2.
Ask for prices on large quantities.
Culture. Plant as soon as danger
I of frost is past in moist rich soil 10
inches apart in rows three feet apart,
except for late plantings, plant the corn
two or three by four feet apart. Keep
the ground well hoed or cultivated so
that the moisture may be retained and
the weeds kept out. For succession
i| plant every two weeks till August 15th.
In order to secure well filled cobs it is
advisable to plant several rows side by
side. The effect of this will be to en-
sure an ample supply of pollen reach-
ing the silks and upon this will depend
whether the cobs are well filled or not.
Plant eight pounds per acre. We give
ij our list in the order of the earliness of
the corn.
SWEET CORN
Extra Early Adams. The hardiest and
earliest corn for table use. It is not
a sweet corn but on account of its
earliness it is extensively planted
both by the market gardener and for
sweet and tender, and very produc-
tive. Pkt. 5c: lb. 20c; by mail 30c.
Oregon Evergreen. This has become a
standard variety in Southern Califor-
nia and it certainly is worthy of the
the home garden. Pkt. 5c; lb. 30c;
postpaid; by express or freight, lb.
20c; 10 lbs. $1.75.
Golden Bantam. A verv dwarf extra
early variety of a rich golden yel-
low; very sweet and fine. Highly
recommended by Agricultural Schools
and Experiment Stations. Pkt. 5c;
lb. 40c, postpaid. By express or
freight, lb. 30c: 10 lbs. $2.50.

ductiveness make it immensely popu-
lar. Pkt. 5c; lb. 30c, postpaid. By
express or freight, lb. 20c; 10 tbs.

WILKES’ BIG FOUR
This variety made Sam Wilkes
famous as a producer of green
corn.
Big Four is a vigorous grow-
ing, medium early sweet corn,
becoming ready to pick four to
seven days earlier than the Ore-
gon Evergreen, but the ears are
larger.
Besides having deep green
husks with long superleaves,
Big Four is a heavy producer,
stalks often carrying four well
filled ears. A great advantage
of the Big Four sweet corn is
that it does well all season,
either for early, medium or late
crop. The husks grow close to
the ear and the stalks attain a
height of from six to eight feet.
The best results are obtained
when this corn is planted 2 to 3
feet apart in rows 3 to 4 feet
apart. The great demand for
this corn last year insures its
success.
Price, pkt. 10c; % lb. 20c; 1 lb.
35c; postpaid. Ask for prices on
larger quantities.
Large Adams. This is the best variety
to plant in July and early August for
late crop. This is similar to the E.
E. Adams but has larger kernels.

HEATH’S EARLY
An excellent corn; early and
very sweet. The ears are med-
ium size and well filled, the
husks are bright green and grow
close to the ear so that it is
scarcely bothered by worms. Its
demand has greatly increased
and many of the growers will
have nothing else. Do not fail
to try some of Heath’s Early for
late plantings because of its
deep green foliage which it re-
tains even when the nights have
become quite cool and other va-
rieties of sweet corn have lost
their green, fresh appearance.

MUSK MELON
Note — Melons require a strong fertile
soil. The better condition you have
your land the better melons you get.
We earnestly recommend the sowing
of a cover crop for the upbuilding of
your soil. In the Fall after the first
rain, plow and harrow your ground
and sow one of the cover crops or bet-
ter yet plant Yorkshire Hero Peas and
pick the first crop or two for market
then plow the green vines in deep. This
will give nitrogen and humus to your
soil in an available condition from
which your melons will draw their
nourishment the following season.
Culture. Sow in hills six feet apart
in rows eight feet apart. Drop about
twenty seed to the hill; cover one inch
deep. Apply Tobacco Dust before the
plant appears above the ground, to
keep away beetles. When the young
plants begin showing character thin
each hill to three strongest plants. One
ounce seed will plant 70 or 80 hills,
two pounds to an acre.

lobes. This is one of the first
points to consider in shipping
melons. The average weight is
two and one-half pounds; uniform

thickness four and one-half
inches.
Not only is this an excellent
shipping melon, but for quality it
is excellent and very satisfactory
for the amateur grower for home
use.

Gautier’s Pineapple has been the lead-
ing muskmelon on the local market

MUSHROOM SPAWN
The idea of raising virgin spawn, by
sowing the spores of the best Mush-
rooms, has occurred to many minds, but
all endeavors remained fruitless until
Dr. Repin, after countless experiments,
has succeeded in producing virgin
spawn at will. The Virgin Spawn, now
manufactured according to Dr. Repin’s
process, is characterized by its great
vigor of growth, and being raised from
spores of the healthiest Mushrooms
only, it is entirely free from noxious
bacterial organisms, which are often
prevalent in spawn that has not been
sterilized by this new process. It is
therefore not so liable to be attacked
by diseases, a consideration which does
away with one of the great drawbacks
in mushroom growing.
Each tablet should be split into
two or three parts, each part being used
separate and set into the bed in such
a manner that the surface which was
inside the tablet and which has just
been laid open, comes into intimate
touch with the prepared manure. A
rapid and even growth of the spawn
through the whole bed is thus efficient-
ly secured. Five tablets suffice for oue
square yard or bed surface.
The Virgin Spawn is sold in the form
of compressed slabs or tablets, of handy
size, thoroughly pervaded by the spores.
One hundred tablets weigh about 18
pounds.

MORRIS & SNOW SEED COMPANY
Culture. As soon as the weather be-
comes setled, about the first of March,
select a rich sandy loam soil which
has been plowed deep and well har-
rowed. Plant 6 to 10 seed one or two
inches Into moist soil, in hills 10 to
15 feet apart each way. When young
plants show character, thin out to 2 or
3 best plants in each hill. Keep your
ground well cultivated and free of
weeds. The best flavored melons are
grown without irrigation. One ounce
to 50 hills, 2 lbs. to an acre.
Klondyke or Pasadena. Has certainly
won favor in the San Gabriel Valley,
but seemed to have failed in the
coast melon district. This melon is
oblong, of dark green rind with
bright red flesh, very crisp, and as
sweet as sugar. This melon has taken
the market at Pasadena and other
foothill towns. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; lb.

Angeleno. Is a cross from the famous
Chilian. It is somewhat larger in

est and most popular sorts and fre-

market melon. Is quite as generally
used by the large melon growers as
Kleckley Sweets and is more profit-
able, being very easily grown. Pkt.

CHILIAN VARIETIES
Black Seeded Chilian. A variety brought
from South America several years
ago. It originally had black seed,
but like other black seeded melons
grown in this section, continually,
the seeds have become almost entire-
ly white. The black-seeded Chilian
is much earlier than the other strains
and seems to have a better flavor,
and it certainly is a much prettier
melon when cut open. We have pro-
cured some black seeded Chilian seed
grown from the original stock, with
the yellow belly, and we know all
who try it will be well satisfied. Pkt.

BLACK SEEDED
ANGELENO
For several years it has been the am-
bition of most melon growers and
seedsmen to perfect a Black Seeded An-
geleno. There have been limited quan-
tities of this variety at different times
but never before has anyone been able
to supply the seed of the Black Seeded
Angeleno in quantities sufficient to
plant large acreage.
The Angeleno has been one of the
most popular melons on the Southern
California markets. The dark green
rind appeals to the buyer and attracts
the attention of the consumer. The
dark red flesh and excellent flavor of
the melon pleases the consumer.
Although the rind is thin the An-
geleno is a good shipper and will stand
a haul of 200 to 400 miles in car loads
and arrive in good condition.
Now we offer a melon with all of
these merits with the added advantage
of having Black Seed which makes it
very attractive wherever a cut melon
is exhibited, especially advantageous
for restaurant and cafeteria trade.

Australian Brown Onion Mammoth Silver King Onion
ONIONS
Culture. The most common method
of culture is to drill seed thick in the
rows quite shallow and rows from 18
to 24 inches apart. After plants are
as large as pencils thin out to about
three to five inches, according to the
variety, transplanting those taken out
to about the same distance, after cut-
ting back the tops and roots. Or they
can be grown thickly in beds and trans-
planted to rows. Can be sown any
time of the year, and really there is
no excuse why fresh onions cannot be
had every day in the year. For early
onions in the Spring, plant sets during
the Fall, which mature much more
quickly than from seed. Beware of
cheap quotations on this seed, as much
inferior stock with poor germination is
offered, some many years old. Our stock
is fresh and of very highest quality
and germination.

PEANUTS
Culture. Peanuts require a light,
sandy, rich soil. Prepare your ground
by spading or plowing to a depth of
ten inches and pulverize with rake or
harrow early in the spring; then thor-
oughly cultivate after each rain to kill
weeds and make a mulch to hold the
moisture until planting time. It is bet-
ter to shell the peanuts for plan*-' —
being careful not to break the skin
around the nut; although they may be
planted unshelled. Planting should be-
gin April 1st and may continue for two
months. Drop the seed two inches deep
in moist ground, two in a hill; hills
fifteen inches apart in rows three feet
apart. The young nlant should be up
enough to distinguish the rows in three
weeks, when cultivation should begin.
At the first signs of dryness, furrow
out and irrigate. Cultivate and hoe to
keep the weeds down. Do not nut
water on them after September 10th,
so as to give them time to die down.
They should be pulled about October
15th and laid with the roots, with the
nuts on, to the sun for a few days to
thoroughly dry. When dry, the nuts
are pulled off the vines and sacked.
The tops may be used for stock feed.
It requires 14 pounds of shelled or 30
pounds of unshelled peanuts to seed an
acre.

variety and the one almost exclu-
sively used for roasting. Per lb. 15c,
postage at zone rates; see page 2 of

Spanish. The small peanut used in
confections and for salting. These
are shelled. Per lb. 25c, postage ex-
tra. Ask for trices on large quanti-
ties .
PUMPKINS
Culture. Plant five to seven seed in
hills 8 to 10 feet apart each way.
Pumpkins are often used as a second
crop. They need considerable of mois-
ture to insure a heavy crop so have
your ground in good condition when
the seed are put in. June is the best
month for planting Pumpkins, but any
time from April 15th to July 15th will
give good results. If the soil is not
naturally damp, arrange your ground
so that it can be irrigated when need-
ed. Keep the lard well cultivated and
the weeds out. One and a half pounds
of seed will plant an acre.

MORRIS & SNOW SEED COMPANY
POTATOES
Have your ground worked up at least
eight inches deep and thoroughly pul-
verized. Cut the tubers to the size of a
walnut or an egg, seeing that each
piece has at least one good live eye on
it. Make furrows four inches deep and
three feet apart; in these drop the cut
seed two pieces to a foot or fifteen
inches. Fill in- the furrow and the
young plants will begin showing above
the ground in three to five weeks. As
soon as you can see the rows, com-
mence cultivating to keep weeds down,
and if necessary, furrow out for irri-
gation, which will be required at least
three times for the summer crop and
once or twice for the fall crop if there
are no early rains. Hoe after each cul-
tivation to kill the weeds between the
plants.
For extra early spring potatoes plant
Early Rose or American Wonder from
November 15th to December 15th. For
10th on, using Triumph or Six Weeks,
Early Rose and American Wonder, and
for main spring crop use White Rose
and Burbank, lanting from March 1st
to 30th. After this until the first of
August small patches may be put in
with varied success. August 1st to
15th, the main fall or winter crop is put
in. White Rose and Burbank being
mostly used. We do not recommend
planting potatoes after September 1st.

RADISHES
Being a root crop, good brittle rad-
ishes require light, well-worked soil,
made very rich and mellow to insure
quick growth. If permitted to grow
slowly they become tough and pithy.
They are easy to grow and frequent
plantings will insure a constant supply
for the table. Use 1 oz. for 100 feet
of row, 20 lbs. to acre and thin the very
young plants somewhat to prevent
crowding. Plant the year round in
California.
California Mammoth White Winter —

“Crimson Giant” or Wurzburger Fore-
in. This new radish is an entirely
new type, and differs radically from
all the varieties hitherto in cultiva-
tion. In so far as its roots attain
more than double the size of those
. of other forcing varieties, without
getting pithy or hollow. This giant
radish develops roots of 6 to 7 inches
in circumference and over an ounce
in weight, their pure white flesh re-
maining firm and crisp and of the
mildest flavor, but notwithstanding
the extraordinary size and weight of
its bulbs it is second to none as a
forcing variety. It is equally well
adapted to outside culture. The seed
should be sown very thinly to per-
mit full development of the roots.

PLANT DISEASES
Tomato Blight and Melon Blight. For
blight and rot, spray early and at
intervals with Bordeaux Mixture.
Quart can 50c.
Potato Scab. This wide spread disease
affecting potatoes is due to the at-
tack of a parasitic fungus, which
causes the skin to become rough and
scabby. This disease may be success-
fully combated by treating the plant-
ing stock with formaldehyde; 8 fluid
ounces (1 pint) of this antiseptic is
to be used in 15 gallons of water,
which is sufficient to treat about 1000
lbs. of potatoes. The potatoes should
be cleaned from dirt, washed if nec-
essary, then soak potatoes for 1%
hours in this diluted solution, after
which they should be dried out and
planted in the usual way, care being
taken that treated potatoes are not
put in contaminated sacks or other
receptacles. Formaldehyde, 50c pint.

HERBS
Herb Seeds. (Sweet, Pot and Medicin-
al). A few herbs should be grown in
every garden, only a small space be-
ing necessary to grow sufficient for
family use. Sow the seed in the
sprin<r, and harvest on a dry day just
as plants come into full bloom. Tie
them up in small bunches and when
thoroughly dried wrap up in paper
and place in an air-tight vessel,
where they will keep until required.
Each, per pkt. 5c.

Nitrogen Bacteria
ENRICH YOUR FARM
Grow inoculated legume crops which
make available plant food of greater
value than they remove. Inoculated
clovers, alfalfa, vetch, peas, cow peas,
soy beans and other legume crops en-
rich the soil with nitrogen and organic
matter — the two most necessary ele-
ments required to grow good crops. By
growing these inoculated crons, sut-
ficient nitrogen is placed in the soil for
all crops.
Legume Cover Crops
Corn, cotton, potatoes, orchards and
all cultivated crops are very hard on
soils, but if some inoculated legume
crops, such as crimson clover, or a mix-
ture of winter vetch and rye or oats
are sowed between the rows at last cul-
tivation and turned under for green
manure, quantities of plant food are
made available and soil fertility is
maintained and often increased.
To secure the best yields and full
fertilizer value always inoculate alfal-
fa, clovers, peas, beans, vetch, soy
beans, cow peas, peanuts and all other
legumes.
“The peculiar value of legumes for
maintaining and increasing the fertility
of soils is due to certain bacetria
which develop nodules upon the roots
of leguminous plants and which have
the unique power of rendering the free
nitrogen of the atmosphere available
for plant growth. Without these bac-
teria, legumes, like other crops, ex-
haust the soil of its combined nitro-
gen.”-—Ext. Farmer’s Bulletin No. 315.

MARKET GARDENERS
Your requirements, in the way of
seeds, are somewhat different from
those of the amateur or home gardener,
who is growing for his own use and
not for the market. Knowing this, we
have made, for the past nine years, a
special study of the local market con-
ditions and feel that we are especially
well equipped to supply you with Pedi-
greed Seeds that will produce the re-
sults that you desire. No trouble or
expense is spared to keep our stock
right and our constantly increasing
market garden trade is a good indica-
tion that we have been succsesful in
this endeavor. Our experience -is at
your service and we shall alwavs be
glad to give you the benefit of it. If
you are using seeds in large Quantities,
let us have a list of your needs and we
will quote special market gardeners

GARDENING FOR PROFIT AND
PLEASURE
As years go by the love of gardening
always grows. The desire to grow for
profit is most in the minds of those that
have to make their living that way
and to them gardening is commercial.
But apart from this there is a desire
and great pleasure in cultivating plants
and especially growing them from seed,
seeing their many changes and learn-
ing of the best varieties. And perhaps
most pleasure is derived by “Intensified
Gardening” or “by making two blades
of grass grow where only one grew” —
to create some thing beautiful, to in-
tensify Nature.

MORRIS & SNOW SEED COMPANY
SUCCESS WITH FLOWER SEEDS
We are convinced that most of the
failures with flower seed are due to
the lack of proper conditions; and
while it would be impossible in this
short space to give explicit directions
for each and every variety, there are
certain rules that must be observed.
While some of the more tender vari-
eties require special care, many of the
hardy varieties will grow under most
any conditions if seed are not planted
too deeply, and the ground kept moist.
As general directions, we will divide
them into HARDY and TENDER spe-
cies and apply the general rules gov-
erning each.
Hardy Kinds as a rule, are sown in
open beds or boxes of well worked
soil (sandy loam preferred) and- if soil
is stiff clay or adobe, it is necessary to
have a “sand or mulch” covering, and
seed should be covered very lightly.
A good rule is to smooth the bed down
with a board, and then on this smooth
surface scatter the seed, then if seed
is coarse take a small board or brick
and press the seed down even with the
surface of the soil, and then carefully
sift fine, sandy mulch soil over the
seed from one-eighth to one-half inch
deep, according to the coarseness of
the particular seed. Such as Delphin-
ium, Stocks, Asters, etc., one-eighth
inch, but Nasturtiums will stand cover-
ing of one inch. This bed must be
kept moist to the surface, never al-
lowed to dry, but should not be
“soaked” too much, and one should
avoid watering too late in the evening,
rather postpone till morning, as the
chilly night may cause trouble if bed
is too wet. For ordinary kinds as
Sweet Alyssum, Calliopsis, Calendula,
Marigold, Mignonette, Centaurea, Pop-
pies, Snapdragons, Annual Larkspurs,
Zinnias, Candytuft, etc., are generally
planted where they are to grow, but
good success will be had to transplant
the above, except the Poppy, which
succeeds best when sown broadcast
(very thinly) over surface and gently
raked in, and thinned out to 6 to 12
inches when about 2 or 3 inches high.
Centaureas are best drilled in rows
where they are to grow. Sweet Peas
should be planted in drills and do not
succeed if transplanted.
Tender Kinds. Such as Lobelias, As-
ters, Stocks, Pansy, Petunia, (Fancy
kinds). Pinks, Phlox, Verbenas and all
such varieties which, while hardy in
Southern California, after once estab-
lished, are slow to start, should be
planted in well prepared beds and treat-
ed as the hardy kinds in respect to
depth of planting, but in addition a
shading should be added and this is
quite essential. If lath frames are not
available, use burlap frames and sup-
port these frames on stakes 4 to 12
inches from soil, or a good plan is to
cut some branches with leaves on and
lay over bed. This is quite as good as
any other protection, but care should
be taken not to have covering too
dense. Best time to water all seed beds
is in the morning, before the sun gets
too high.
Mulching. For seed beds. To Insure
the best results from your seed, a good
prepared mulch of well rotted manure
or leaf mold is almost necessary, if
soil is stiff and heavy. This mulch is
carefully sifted over the seed beds after
seed is sown and helps to retain the
moisture and keep surface from “bak-
ing.”

CULTURE AND LIST OF ASTERS
THE ASTER
There is at present a lamentable
lack of literature on this subject, but
the Aster has leaped into such prom-
inence, both for its beauty and com-
mercial value, that information is con-
stantly sought, and for many years we
have given this our utmost attention
and care and are anxious that all in-
formation for its culture and improve-
ment be disseminated..
We attach a few essential directions
for their culture.
The Aster will do well in any ordi-
nary soil from a light sand to a heavy
clay. The ideal soil is a strong loam,
well supplied with organic matter and
plant food. If the soil is not already
rich enough, good commercial fertiliz-
ers can be used safely. A high grade
complete fertilizer is most suitable.
Disbudding. To secure extra long
stems and large flowers, we recom-
mend disbudding as the method used
in Chrysanthemums, or in short, pinch
out the center bud as plants begin to
branch, allow about six of the side
branches to grow and keep the lateral
buds removed from other branches, and
give entire strength to a half dozen
flowers.
Sowing the Seed. Sow in seed boxes
or beds in light sandy soil, covering
very lightly, not over one-eighth inch
deep and shade with lath frame or
cloth for two or three weeks and keep
constantly moist but do not water late
in the day. (See directions “Success
With Flowers.”
Transplanting. When the plants
have made 4 to 6 leaves they should be
pricked off into boxes or beds, 2 inches
apart and when good and strong can be
bedded out where they are to bloom.
Varieties. Nothing is gained by try-
ing to force the late varieties. If early
flowers are desired, used the Dwarf
Early Flowering varieties and in this
way the season of blooming can be pro-
longed from June 1st to November 1st.
Using early varieties for early flowers
and Giant Comet and Branching class
for late, planted at intervals from Jan-
uary 1st to May 20th, it taking 4 to 6
months for the late flowering varieties
to bloom from seed. Some florists grow
two crops yearly, planting in August
for late Winter flowers.
Exhibition Flowers. In order to 'give
the finest flowers, the plants must have
abundant plant food and moisture. Pul-
verized sheep manure is unsurpassed,
also nitrate of soda is a powerful stim-
ulant but must be used with great care.
One pound of the latter to the square
rod, broadcast, is enough for one appli-
cation and repeated at intervals of ten
days gives fine results.
Aster Beetle. This beetle has caused
some trouble and frequent dustings of
fine ground tobacco is necessary to
save the flowers and plants, also the
Root Louse causes much trouble and
a mulch of tobacco dust will destroy
the louse.
NOVELTIES IN ASTERS
OUR NEW ASTER
American Beauty (American Branching
Type). We believe this to be the
grandest aster of Red color ever in-
troduced— being very large and per-
fectly double .(never showing the
eye), an improvement on our Carmine
Pink from which it originated. A
little lighter in color than American
Beauty Rose and the most remark-
able bloomer ever introduced. Com-
ing in flower in July from seeding in
early Spring and lasting till Novem-
ber. The photo herewith was taken
on November 1st, and flowers were
cut from plants that were in full
bloom in July. We have absolutely
control of this variety on the coast
and its sale is also limited to one
Eastern house — very Limited Supply
Pkg. 25c, Vi oz. $1.00.
Aster — New Carmine Pink. A great im-
provement on the old Am. Branching
Rose pink, being much larger and
of a clearer color. No shade of the
Magenta, but a clear bright pink, of
strong upright branching habit. Very
large flowers. American Giant
Branching type. Pkt. 15c, 2 for 25c;
14 oz. 35c.
Asters — Giant Comet “Shell Pink.”
(New). A new greatly improved
Comet of a beautiful clear shell pink.
Very double and covering the eye
perfectly. Very similar to Crego
Pink, but larger, more double and
better color, no tendency to fading,
a very robust grower and bloomer,
flowers average 6 inches and over
when well grown. Oz. $1.50; 14 oz.
60c; Vs oz. 25c; pkt. 10c.
Asters — New Upright Branching. We
consider this class one of the best
for cut flowers, having the branching
habit, but of strong upright growth,
making very long stems, each crown-
ed with one to three fine large flow-
ers of Giant Branching type, which
are very double and full to the cen-
ter. Very easily disbudded. Highly
recommended as a commercial flor-
ist’s flower. In the following colors.

MORRIS & SNOW’S NEW KING
ASTERS
A magnificent class of Asters, dis-
tinct from all others in the character
of the flower. The long, narrow pet-
als are folded lengthwise, appearing
almost as though quilled. The flowers
are of great size and substance and
last longer when cut than those of any
other class. The plants are large and
the stems exceptionally long and
strong.
The King asters are now among the
most popular class of asters grown and
are more largely grown as a cut flower
for florists than any other class. Their
good keeping qualities and aristocratic
character have won for them the first
place.

AQUILEGIA — COLUMBINES
A most desirable border plant in its
many varieties. It forms large clumps
blooms early, long and abundantly, is
quite hardy, useful for cutting and ele-
gant in habit. Sow the seed in the
open ground or in beds at any time
of the year and thin to about one foot
apart. When planted in the fall they
will bloom the next spring and sum-
mer. They thrive well with ordinary
garden culture, but such rare sorts as
A. Coerulea and A. Chrysantha do best
in a partially shaded corner. Very few
of the hardy perennials are so easily
grown from seed. Best if transplanted.
SWEET ALYSSUM
The Alyssums have become one of
the popular border plants thriving any-
where. The dwarf variety being ex-
cellent for edging, bordering beds,
or even for sowing in masses, in man-
ner of carpet bedding. The taller sort
is fine for sowing in shrubbery. It
does not require transplanting.
The old-fashioned Sweet Alyssum has
been too long a favorite to need any
introduction here. This new variety
emits the same honey-like perfume, is
of purer white, and grows only 2 to
3 inches high and flowers even more
profusely; in fact, it is a perfect car-
pet of snow throughout the season. We
have counted as many as 300 heads of
pure white flowers open on one plant
at one time.
American Hybrid Columbines. This
new race represents the highest per-
fection yet attained in the develop-
ment of this favorite flower. The
plants are extremely robust with
large, handsome foliage the flower
stems often 40 inches in height, car-
ry magnificent clusters of immense
long spurred, single flowers which
last a long time in bloom. The col-
ors are superb and varied — including
rich shades as well as many new and
delicate tints; pure white, blue and
white, pure yellow, pink with yellow
corolla, red with orange corolla, ce-
rise, purple, rose and white, salmon,
lavender, mauve, etc.

with large snap-dragon flowers of
splendid texture and substance, render-
ing them very durable under all condi-

BEGONIAS
Everblooming Bedding; Varieties
The following are varieties of Be-
gonia Semperflorens, and take rank as
tyeddine- plants with geraniums and
coleus, doing equally well in full sun-
light, and surpassing both in positions
partially or wholly in shade. They are
of sturdy growth, growing about 1
foot high and forming dense bushes,
which, from May until frost, are com-
pletely hidden with flowers. As pot
plants for winter-flowering they are
superb, remaining a sheet of bloom
throughout the entire year. Easily
raised from seed, which should be
started either indoors or in a hotbed,
or better yet to plant in boxes of peat
moss or leaf mold — and do not cover
seed at all, but cover close with a pane
of glass and water from the bottom.

CENTAUREAS
This is one of our specialties in flow-

greatly increased during the past few
years, owing to the beautiful late in-

continent. They should be planted
where they are to be grown, and at
any season of the year, and will bloom
about four or five months from plant-
ing.
Under this name is included such pop-

CARNATIONS AND PINKS
The splendid carnation of the florist
is a very interesting plant to grow
from seed, and it is not over exacting.
These can be sown in beds or in boxes
at any time of the year, and they will
bloom in four to six months after sow-
ing. Young plants are perfectly hardy
out of doors. The new race of Mar-
garet carnations are an extra vigor-
ous class, and bloom profusely. For
masses of bloom few plants are finer,
and for pots also, their neat habit
makes them very suitable. Grown as
annuals from seed sown in spring they
are very satisfactory. Our Sf>»i’ "f these
varieties is especially grown for us in
Europe.

DELPHINIUM OR HARDY LARKSPUR
Giant Hybrids. A splendid race of
these hardy garden plants. The seed
has been saved from one of the
choicest named collections in Eng-
land, all carefully hybridized, so

magnificent proportions will be pro-
duced. The individual blossoms are

perfectly double, dressing the grace-
ful, towering spikes for them 2 to 5
feet of their length. The colors and
shades are wonderfully lovely and
varied, ranging from pure white and
most chaste lavender up through ev-
ery conceivable shade of blue to deep
indigo and purple, several shades be-
ing blended in some of the varieties.
The plants are tall growers, from
4 to 8 feet in height; there are but
few plants that contribute so much
to the beauty of garden or herbaceous

immediately after flowering these
Delphiniums may be had in bloom

The double German and Chater’s su-
perb strains, are best treated by sow-
ing seed in spring or summer for next
year’s blooming.
These are all garden favorites and
are known to everyone, and we would
recommend them for showy effect in

nothing that can surpass them but
remember they grow from 5 to 9 feet
high.

MARIGOLDS
Culture: The seed may be sown most
any time, and the plants pricked off
into a good rich compost. The great
point is to secure strong healthy plants
which may be expected to produce large
fine blooms. If blooms are required for
exhibition, not more than four branches
should be allowed on each plant, and
only one blooln on each branch.
The African class ‘is the taller grow-
er and largest flowers, globular in
Shape or like a puff ball. The French
class are very satisfactory for dwarf
bedding. Flowers are not quite so
large.

PRIMULA (Primrose)
The charming and beautiful Chinese
Fringed Primroses and obconica varie-
ties are indispensable for winter or
spring decorations in the home or con-
servatory. They are one of our most
important winter-blooming pot plants.
The seed we offer is of the highest
merit, and has, as usual been saved
from the best strains of English and
Continental growth. Florists and oth-
ers report that they have never seen
finer flowers than those produced from
our seed. Sow in January, February,
March, April or May. The hardy va-
rieties are also deserving of wide culti-
vation.

they produce their sprays of beauti-
ful rosy-lilac flowers in seemingly
never ending profusion. Pkt. 25c.
Primula Cortusoides Sieboldi. (Japan-
ese Primrose). There are not so well
known as they deserve; they are of
free growth, with dark green foliage,
and throw up in late spring innumer-
able stems of large flowers, varying
in color from pure white to rich
crimson. They succeed under the
same conditions as the common hardy
Primroses, and are also useful for
forcing under glass, making beauti-
ful pot plants. Pkt. 15c.

Our Pansies are the best strain we
can secure and our many years’ experi-
ence with this plant assists us in se-
lecting the best sources for our sup-
ply and the blending of varieties for
our many mixtures. We have exhibited
these at many shows and believe there
are none to surpass them in size and
beauty. Our mixtures are fine, and
we know cannot be surpassed any-
where.
Cultural directions. Plant the seed
% in July and August under cloth cover,
for fall and winter blooming; or in late
fall for spring flowering. The seed
should be covered very lightly not over
Vs inch, and kept cool and damp. When
large enough, transplant.
Collection of 12 Giant Pansies. This
collection contains one packet each
of 12 of the largest and most beau-
tiful Pansies in cultivation. Price 75c.
Masterpiece Giant Ruffled Pansies. A
remarkable strain of Giant Pansies,
the flowers of which are so large
and full that the broad petals seem
to be “gathered” to the stem, caus-
ing them to be undulated and fluted
from centre to circumference, not
unlike “frilled” velvet. The flowers
are extraordinarily large and are
borne on strong stems well above
the foliage; they are all five-blotched
on the “Odier” pattern, and contain
rich combinations of coloring. The
plants are vigorous and large, and
flower abundantly. Mixed colors. Vs
oz. 60c; oz. $4.00; pkt. 25c.
Morris & Snow 5uperl> Giant Prize
Pansies. A distinct new type of
Pansies of greatest merit. The flow-
ers are of giant size and are borne
in profusion — -well-grown they meas-
ure 3 to 3% inches across — and of
most gorgeous effects, blotched,
spotted, marbled, veined, striped and
blended, colors passing through reds,
rose, pink, white, purple, in beauti-
ful and indescribable variegation.
Mixed colors. % oz. $1.00; 1 oz. $6.00;
pkt. 25c.
Mammoth Parisian Pansies. The Paris-
ian Pansies are distinguished by their
magnificent and varied colors and
strong markings. There is usually
a large “blotch” on each of the five
petals, with a surrounding band of
some strikingly contrasting color,
over all of which is thrown a cob-
web-like netting of yet another hue.

PETUNIA
Once fairly started, the Petunias
grow almost as easily as weeds and
furnish bloom the entire year. The
large-flowered Petunias are very beau-
tiful and of almost endless variety. The
seed of the Double and Giant-flowered
Petunias is made expensive by the
great amount of labor involved in
hand-fertilization, and it is well to
handle seed and tiny seedlings with
some care. Sow in beds or boxes of
fine soil, and cover with sacking, cloth
or glass, at any time of the year. The
common varieties may be sown broad-
cast where they are to grow, although
they may be treated the same as the
more tender sorts. When they are
large enough, transplant about one
foot apart in garden beds. The seed
of the double varieties has not so much
vitality as that of the single sorts and
needs a little more care in watering
to be sure of germination. We have
no better plants for borders, window-
boxes, baskets and vases. They will
grow in almost any soil and bloom pro-
fusely through long droughts. The
newer varieties are of very brilliant
colors.

PYRETHRUM
Hybridum Double. Too much cannot be
said in favor of this grand hardy
perennial, which will thrive in any
good garden soil where there is good
drainage and full exposure to the
sun. Their main season of blooming
is in June, but if the old flower stems
are removed they will give a fair
sprinkling of flowers in the autumn.
The bloom is similar to that of an
Aster, and ranges in color from pure
white and the various shades of pink
and red to deep purple. Splendid for
cutting, lasting a week in good con-
dition. Pkt. 10c.
Pyretlirum Roseuni. Largely used for
cutting like Margarets. 10c pkt.
Pyrethrum Parthenifolia. Golden
Feather. Largely used for border
around beds. Light yellow foliage.
Pkt. 5c.
The Pyrethrum is the plant from
which is manufactured the many brands
of insect powders — such as Dalamatian,
Buhach, Persian Insect Powder, etc. —
according to the company making
same. The P. Roseum is the principal
variety used, and a few plants of this
in the garden is recommended.

MORRIS & SNOW SEED COMPANY
Rclunnunia Aiigulata (Perennial Cal-
eeolaria. A hardy perennial, intro-
duced from China a short time ago.
Closely related to our Calceolaria and
resembling the Incarvillea Rosepur-
ple, throat tipped with nice red spots.
It is a very decorative plant in the
true sense of the word, and is well
adapted for beds or pot culture.
Flowers are produced in great abun-
dance during the entire summer, and
is valuable as a cut flower. We of-
fer here some nice new tinged and
tigred hybrids. Per pkt. 25c.
Rliodanthe Mnnglesi. A fine everlast-
ing flower, used largely in bouquets.
Pkt. 10c.

very free and long bloomer, with
very large spikes of flowers. Pkt. 10c.
Ruella Tuberosa (New). A very bushy
and rich flowering perennial; should
be planted under glass or frames in
early Spring. The numerous Bignonia
like flowers of clear blue color, which
stand well above the foliage, are very
striking. Early planted seed com-
mence flowering in July and last till
Christmas. Pkt. 10c.
SAL. VIA (Scarlet Sage)
Salvia Splendens or scarlet sage, is a
standard bedding plant that keeps
the garden bright with color all year
through. This plant lends itself to
many uses; it makes a good pot
plant, does well in window boxes, and
is useful for cutting to give color.
Its best use, however, is as a hedge
. or border plant, where long, broad
bands of intense color are desirable.
Best is to plant, seed in bed or box
and transplant when large enough.
Pkt. 10c; Vi oz. 40c.
Clara Redman, (Bonfire). The plants
form handsome globular bushes
about 2 feet in diameter. The spikes

SCABIOSA
Scabiosa Maxima. The “Sweet Scabious”
or "Mourning Bride” of old gardens,
but much improved in size, colors and
doubleness. Many of the flowers
measure 6 to 9 inches in circumfer-
ence, are double clear to the center,
and have long stems. They are very
free bloomers; very effective for gar-
den decoration, and valuable for cut-
ting; annuals. Pleight, IK to 2 ft.

improvement on the old lavender, in
fact one of the grandest of all the
class; clear color without any trace
of rose. Pkt. 10c, oz. 50c.

Hardy Scabiosa
Scabiosa Japonica. New hardy peren-
nial Scabiosa from Japan, forming
large bushes 2% to 3 feet in height
and breadth, with elegant light green
foliage. Flowers 2 to 2% inches
across on long wiry stems from 15 to
20 inches in length, of a beautiful
mauve or lavender-blue. The plants,
extremely free-flowering, produce
their lovely flowers continuously
from the end of June until late in the
autumn. Pkt. 10c.
Scabiosa Caucasica Perfecta. The old
"Caucasian Scabiosa” is recognized as
one of the handsomest of hardy per-
ennials, forming dense, spreading
plants 2 to 3 feet high, thriving in
any ordinary garden soil. In this
new variety, “Perfecta,” we have ob-
tained the highest perfection of this
type; the semi-double flowers, 3 to 4
inches across, are poised on stalks
1% to 2 feet long, making them of
exceptional value when cut for vases,
etc. The coloring of the flowers is a
beautiful lilac-blue shading to deep
blue. Pkt. 10c.
SWEET WILLIAM (Dianthus)
The old popular garden favorite,
should be planted before October 1st
in order to bloom the following spring,
as it is a Biennial and will not bloom
the first year.
Sweet William New Giant early flow-
ering hybrid. Blooming 3 to 4
months from planting. Among many
flowers of recent introductions, there
are none that have attracted more
attention than this wonderful nov-
elty. A true hybrid cross between the
old Barbatus or Sweet William and
Dianthus Lacinatus (or Annual Pink),
and range of colors are wonderful;
every color found in either class. Pkt.

a magnificent strain of this old time
popular plant, growing 12 to 18
inches high an d blooming in large

in any open sunny position. The
plants grow from 18 to 24 inches high

MORRIS & SNOW SEED COMPANY
Single Plant o£ Giant Nice Stock “Abundance”
STOCKS
These are among the most popular
of all winter blooming flowers. By
planting in early summer they will
bloom through the winter, or planted
in late fall they will bloom through the
summer. The Ten Week Stocks require
about four months to come into per-
fection, but the Brompton or winter
stocks require about seven or eight
months, and are both quite hardy in
this climate either for summer or win-
ter. Seed should be planted in bed or
box, and transplanted — kept in the best
of growth to induce double flowers. Do
not pick the most rank growth in
plants as frequently these are the
singles.

IMPORTANT
We use every care in collecting these
seed and give special attention to ex-
port orders, but sell them with the
distinct understanding that we supply
them under the botanical names bv
which they are known, and that we are
not at any time to be held liable for
results.
The value of the timber of this tree
has been generally recognized all over
the world, and already a large export
trade from Western Australia and the
other states has been established. As
hardwood timbers some of the eucalypti
have no equal, and possess high
quality for resisting the attack of the
dreaded Teredo for submarine work.
Some of them are so hard that they
may be said to be almost indestructible.
For street paving they are the best in
the world, and when their value is fully
recognized, the export of these timbers
will become a large one. Special quo-
tations to large bpyers.

conditions, and will give a longer
duration of flowering season than
strictly natives. Pkt. 10c.
Note Culture Directions for Mixtures —
First it is advisable to plow or spade
plot and thoroughly harrow or rake
up. Sow 4 to 6 lbs. per acre and
again harrow or rake seed in, and if
early growth is wanted is best to
thoroughly irrigate before plowing.

AVOCADOS
This tree not only produces one of
the most delicious fruits, but is equally
as well classed as an ornamental ever-
green. Until within a few years it was
looked upon as a purely tropical pro-
duct, but is now being successfully
grown in Southern California, where its
waxy, oblong leaves and yellowish
green flowers make a pretty show in
many yards, and the fruit a dainty
novelty on the tables. The Mexican
custom is to halve the fruit,' filling the
cup with salad dressing, and is the
usual method of eating it here. The
fruit is pear shaped, and the mellow,
buttery flavor appeals to every palate.

MORRIS & SNOW SEED COMPANY
is exceptionally fine. It is an ex-
ceedingly heavy bearer. Bush grows
vigorously, branches freely and has
rich, dark, glossy green foliage. About
the best light yellow in this division.
Lady Hillingdon. Deep apricot yellow.
The color is solid without any shad-
ing and absolutely unique. It can be
told at a glance from any other rose
known. A wonderful thing about it
is that even after the flower is cut
the color will deepen. It never fades.
The new wood and long stems are
deep violet, making a contrast with
the flower that has to be seen to be
appreciated. Growth is strong and
vigorous. Foliage at first dark violet,
becoming a very deep green with
light violet hue. Flowers are large
and loose, with long, pointed buds and
remarkably large petals. The finest
yellow rose to date, in our opinion.
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. A grand
white, with all the points which go
to make a perfect rose; it combines
perfection in form, color, vigor and
freedom of bloom. No collection will
be complete without this superb var-
iety.
Duchess de Brabant. (Pink). Soft rosy
pink; buds are fine; called Duchess
everywhere.
Duchess of Wellington. One of the
most beautiful- yellow bush roses; has
a very stiff stem with large deep
yellow bloom.

Brunner, only a beautiful yellow.

pery yellow; buds are exceedingly
fine.
Gruss an Teplitz. (Scarlet). One of
the best of its color, always in bloom.
Irish Fire Flame (H. T.) Buds fiery or-
ange-red, open bright salmon. Very
distinct, and one of the most beauti-
ful roses.
La France. (Pink.) One of the very
largest of the pink; an old favorite.
Paul Neyron, The largest rose in cul-
tivation. Flowers of enormous size,
borne on long sturdy shoots, and
usually one flower to the stem. Rich
dark rose in color and very fragrant.

pery orange. Large, magnificently
formed and richly tea scented. Color
light in spring, but very deep in

Frau Karl Kruschlci (Snow Queen). The
finest white rose, with large, full
flowers of splendid form. It is mar-
velous in its beauty in half open bud
and in the pure white of the full
opened bloom. In a bed of a dozen
plants there is seldom a day during
the summer when blossoms cannot be
cut, and during the spring and fall
it blooms in profusion. It is the ideal
rose. Strong No. 1 bushes.
American Beauty. (Red). A good deep
red. Should be cut down short each
season so as to get long new growth.
Black Prince. Magnificent blackish
velvety crimson, an old favorite.
Madam Caroline Testout. Satin pink.

rant. Free in bloom, strong in
growth and should be included in

Madam Cecil Brunner. The most beau-
tiful of all Polyantha or Baby Roses.
Color bright salmon blush; very
sweetly scented.
Mrs. Geo. Sawyer. Everblooming Tea.
While we have not tried this rose out
sufficiently to determine its adapta-
bility to this climate, those who have
seen it elsewhere are most enthus-
iastic in their praise. Flowers are
clear peach-pink, large, full and well
formed; carried on stiff, erect stems.
Hugh Dickson. Hybrid Perpetual. A
vigorous free grower and perpetual
bloomer; fine foliage; color a rich
brilliant crimson; very sweetly
scented.

rosy carmine, displaying beautiful,

produces its superb flowers in pro-

at every stage. The buds and flowers

enhanced by rich veining on the
petals. Stems are long and carry
flowers erect. Could hardly be
praised too 'highly.
Harry Kirk. Creamy yellow with
bright amber center . Buds are much
deeper in color and long pointed.

“standards”; it certainly succeeds
splendidly grown that way. 50c each.
Madame Edouard Herriot or Daily Mail.
“Superb coral red, shaded yellow at
base, passing to shrimp red.” Neither
this description nor any other will
convey a just idea of the wonderful
coloring. At first sight it seems arti-
ficial. The flowers are moderately
large and semi-double. Buds per-
fectly formed and magnificently col-
ored. In our opinion, it is far and
away the greatest rose novelty ever
introduced and we are strongly in-
clined to think that it will become
the most widely grown variety on this
Coast anyway. 50c each.
Juliet. "Outside of petals old gold, in-
terior rich rosy red, changing to deep
rose as the flowers expand.” The “old
gold” is somewhere between ecru and
chamois. The effect in the expanding
bud stage is indeed striking. 50c
each.
Willowmere. "Rich shrimp pink, shad-
ed yellow at center, with rosy car-
mine at edo-es of petals” (Pernet-
Ducher). The introducer considers it
an improvement on Lyon, of similar
coloring, but more elegantly and slen-
derly formed. Our test has been very
limited, and while doubtful about its
excelling Lyon, we certainly consider
it a very lovely variety. 75c each.
My Maryland. A beautiful clear pink
and has fine fragrance. 50c each.
CLIMBING ROSES
The following are among the choicest
of Climbing Roses. Our plants are
strong and will give plenty of bloom
the same season they are planted.
Climbing Sunburst. Identical to the
bush variety in color, but is of strong
climbing character. The many years
of trials for a perfect yellow rose is
at last rewarded, and we consider
this one of the best and probably the
finest in color and form of any rose
yet introduced of yellow color. The
buds are long and pointed of -’•eat
substance and when cut last extreme-
ly well. Each 75c.
Marechal Niel. The buds and flowers
of this rose are superb; extra large,
double and exquisitely perfumed; the
color is a deep golden yellow; blooms
very freely; throughout the South
and West Coast it attains a degree
of perfection seldom seen in any rose.
Beauty of Glazenwood. (Coppery Sal-
mon.) Also known as Gold of Ophir;
an old favorite for covering fences
or buildings.
Climbing White Cochet. A new vari-
ety. A strong climbing sport from
the popular White Mamon Cochet.
Flowers identical and borne very
freely.
Climbing Caroline Testout. A grand
climbing form of Madam Caroline
Testout. Has all the good qualities
of the latter, coupled with additional
strength of growth and consequently
greater production of bloom. Extra
good.
Climbing Kaiserin. The counterpart of
Kaiserin except that it is a climber.
The buds have the same exquisite
form as the parent and are the same
color. Delicate ivory white. Very
vigorous grower.
Climbing American Beauty. A fine va-
riety. Cerise red. Flowers medium
size, double and very fragrant. Vig-
orous climber. Has little resemblance
to American Beauty except in color.
Climbing Cecil Brunner. We have in
this lovely Climbing Rose not only
one of the daintiest of all roses, but
also one of the most useful.
Climbing Karl Drusehki. A very strong
grower with blooms like the bush.
Climbing Wootton. A superb climbing
rose, vigorous in growth, fine in fol-
iage. Color velvety crimson. Petals
thick and leathery. A valuable acqui-
sition to the list of red climbers,
which is none too large.
Climbing Papa Goutier. The sports
which have resulted in climbing
forms to many of our best standard
roses have been numerous, but we
doubt if with the exception of Climb-
ing Kaiserin and Climbing Testout,
there are any equal to this lovely
climbing form of the old Papa Gon-
tier.
Climbing Grnss an Teplitz, with the
same ever-blooming habit as the
bush; one of the finest deep reds.
La Marque. Well known as one of the
finest white varieties in cultivation.
A remarkably profuse bloomer. Fine
in bud state as a cut flower.
Reve O’or. Unique in shades - " huff
and apricot; similar in form to the
La Marque. One of the best climb-
ing roses in cultivation and always
in demand. During the spring and
summer months the plants are smoth-
ered with blooms.
Reine Marie Henrietta. One of the fin-
est red climbing roses. Flowers are
very large, bright cherry red in color,
and abundantly produced.
Pink Cherokee. A grand new climbing
rose of rare beauty and undoubted
merits. The lovely single blossoms
are produced in the same profusion
as the white sort, but are a delightful
shade of blush pink.
White Cherokee. Lovely pure white,
single flowers, which cover the whole
plant in early spring; has splendid
foliage.
Ramona. Whatever might be said of
the old-time white and pink Chero-
kees can be said of this novelty, and
much more. It blooms very much
more freely and might be classed as
an everbloom. It is a very strong
grower and a superb bright red.
Dorothy Perkins. Noted for its ahrdi-
ness and vigorous habit of growth,
beautiful color and freedom of bloom;
the flowers are borne in large clus-
ters; a beautiful shell pink color,
which lasts a long time without fad-
ing; this variety is suitable for situ-
ations where a trailing rose is de-
sired, or can be trained over arches
or other supports.
William Allen Richardson. (Ducher,
1878.) Orange yellow. Flowers
rather small, but well formed and
borne very profusely. This, with its
vigorous growth and healthy consti-
tution, makes it a valuable and popu-
lar climber.
Climbing Perle des Jardins. (Hender-
son, 1891.) Deep golden yellow.
Glower same as in bush variety.

' | make fine pot plants for inside or in

BIRD SEED
The Canary Seed forms the staple diet
of nearly all seed eating birds, and this
seed is grown in many different coun-
tries, and is of as many grades and
qualities as in any other grain, and the
best quality is that grown in Spain and
Sicily. Unfortunately for many a bird,
poor seed and often poisonous seeds are
fed them. To keep the bird healthy and
in song, it is absolutely necessary that
clean wholesome seed be used, and this
should be of fresh crop, as old rancid
or musty seed is sure to cause trouble.
The next two most important seeds are
German Millet and German Sweet Rape.
This should form about 1-3 of the ra-
tion, and likewise is quite important.
In fact these three seeds should form
the bulk of seed used. The above, with
small quantity of Hemp, Maw, Lettuce,
and Flax completes the seed ration.
Hemp should be used very sparingly as
much of the troubles of songsters is
caused by an excessive use of this seed.
It is too fattening and is often the
cause of the loss of soner. In our Spe-
cial Mixture we use very little Hemp.
Our Prize Bird Mixture. Try our bird
seed. A mixture put up under a for-
mula used by a famous English con-
cern, and has won many prizes. Price

INSECTICIDES AND FERTILIZERS
POISONS and LIQUIDS Are Not Mailable and Must Go By Express or Freight
“Black Leaf-40” is a concentrated solu-
tion of Nicotine-Sulfate. Nicotine in
the form of “Sulfate” does not evap-
orate at ordinary temperature, where-
as, free nicotine does evaporate.
Therefore nicotine-sulfate is particu-
larly desirable for all purposes re-
quiring a strong nicotine solution
possessing lasting properties. This
is the strongest of all tobacco solu-
tions for spraying outside.
1 ounce bottle, makes 6 gallons of
spray, 25c; % lb. tin, makes 50 gal-
lons of spray, 75c; 2 lb. tin, makes
200 gallons of spray, $2.50; 10 lb. tin,
makes 1000 gallons of spray, $10.75.
“Jflco-Fnme” Liquid is a highly refined
solution of free nicotine and is of ex-
ceptional purity. It is guaranteed to
contain 40 per cent of nicotine by
weight in water solution. It con-
tains no alcohol, camphor or other
chemicals or adulterants which might
impair its efficiency or injure plants,
and is especially well adapted to flor-
ists’ general needs, both for fumiga-
tion and spraying purposes.
% lb. tin, price 50c; 1 lb. tin, price,
$1.50; 4 lb. tin, $5.50* 8 tb. tin. $10.50.
“NICO-FUME” PAPER
One of the easiest and most effective
methods of fumigating greenhouses is
to use “Nico-Fume” Tobacco Paper.
This material consists of sheets of pa-
per, treated with a definite amount of
high-strength refined nicotine solution.
Consequently, “Nico-Fume” Paper does
not produce the harmful effects of to-
bacco smoke, the fumes of which are
often injurious to plant life. “Nico-
Fume will be found especially suitable
for fumigation of roses, chrysanthe-
mums, carnations, ornamentals and, in
fact, all cut flowers (except violets,
which are sometimes susceptible to in-
jury).

FERTILIZERS
The value of Commercial Fertilizers
to the market gardener cannot be over-
estimated. Compared with the results
secured by the use of Fertilizers, their
cost is insignificant. They greatly
increase not only the yield, but also
its quality, they push the crops rapidly
forward to maturity, getting them into
market early, and thus insuring a bet-
ter price. Freight or Express.
We handle and recommend Bradley’s
Complete Fertilizers for garden, field or
orchard. 100 lb. bags, $2.50. Special
prices on large quantities. When in-
quiring state for what crop it is to be
used.
BONE MEAL
This is a special brand we have put
up for our trade. It is ground fine,
hence acts quickly. It is made from
bone accumulated in large slaughter
houses, and should not be compared
with the Bone Meal made from cattle
heads and feet, gathered upon the
Western prairies. Our Bone has been

ment of the chick. For the last ten
years it has been tested by the large
poultry breeders in Southern Califor-
nia and has met with unprecedented

ers, with many others, feel that they
cannot profitably raise chicks without
Peerless Chick Feed.

The most nutrition for the least
cost. Proteina is the meat of the soy
bean; the cake left after pressing out
the salad oil. It is 46 per cent protein
and 10 per cent fat. It is improved
as a poultry food by the removal of
the oil, and is the most nutritious of
all vegetable poultry foods. For mix-
ing with bran it has more than twice
as much food value per pound as lin-
seed meal, oil cake or cottonseed meal.
Proteina is not a laxative and may
be fed in any quantity. It will often
give a material increased egg yield
where beef scrap and granulated milk
have failed to produce the desired re-
sults, and should, at least, be fed in
connection with them.
Price per 100 lbs., $3.00; 7 lbs., 25c.
Freight or express.
DOG REMEDIES
We carry a good line of Dog Rem-
edies. A special list will be mailed

A Page of Suggestions
FOR FLORISTS, CUT FLOWER GROWERS AND MARKET GARDENERS
The following list of plants will suggest such varieties and classes as are suitable for this purpose and
we will be pleased to assist all interested in this line at any time. With our thirty years and over of prac-
tical experience, in every branch of agriculture, horticulture and floriculture in Southern California, we
feel we can be of service to you. We have watched the failures and successes in these branches and have
watched in every way for improvement of varieties and species, as well as keeping a close watch for such
things as will be useful for the florist trade and market gardener to improve their condition.
Our florist varieties and market gardener strains of everything pertaining to their needs, are carefully
selected, and we believe, the choicest and purest strains that are to be had, irrespective of price, on the
market. Our facilities for growing, or having grown especially for our trade are unsurpassed and under
our personal supervision in most instances, and in soliciting new customers for our seeds we feel confident
of our ability to satisfy the most exacting requirements.
TO OUR OLD CUSTOMERS, we thank you for your trade and hope we have merited your continued
patronage.
Asters. One of the most important up-
right branching and Kings as the
best classes for cut flowers. Our New
American Beauty is for quality and
quantity of bloom, the finest aster
introduced. Violet King and Rose
King and in fact all the colors in
these classes will produce a good cut
of fine long keeping flowers.
Antirrhinums (Snap Dragons). Of these
we have all the popular shades such
as Silver Pink, Venus, White, Yellow
and Reds, both in the giant type,
semi-tall and dwarf.
Centaurea Imperialis (Giant Sweet Sul-
tans). In Rose, Lavendar, White and
Yellow.
Annual Chrysanthemums (Painted Dais-
ies). In six or eight of the choicest
varieties.
Cosmos. Our new double strains are
equal of anything on the market.
Gaillardias. Our Giant Hybrids always
give satisfaction.
Gypsophila, Elegans Grandiflora Alba,
Rosea and Paniculata are excellent
for cutting.
Linaria. The Excelsa strain produces
a mass of good small flowers ser-
viceable for its dainty effect with
other flowers or as a bouquet by it-
self.
Myosotis (Forget-me-not). The Sem-
perflorens and Robusta are excellent.
Mignonette. Our florist strain of Mo-
chet is unsurpassed, having compact
head and long stems.
Rliodanthe and Xerantlieniums as ever-
lastings are recommended.
Scabiosa. Our new lavender “Exposi-
tion” is the clearest Silver Lavender
we have seen, entirely free of the
pink tinge.
Statice-Caspia. An improvement on
Latifolia and always saleable.
Schizanthus - Wisetonensis (improved)
is fine either as cut or for pot cul-
ture.
Stocks. The “Nice” strains or Gient
Perfections are both perfect in form
and high percentage of doubles.
Sweet Peas. Winter Flowering Spenc-
ers, or our specially selected strains
of summer flowering Spencers, will
fill any requirement. All grown by a
specialist under our supervision.
Zinnias. Our Superb Giant Strain,
which are by selection greatly im-
proved over the original introduction.
Space will not permit of further list
but we carry every leading variety.
The early reports of the vegetables growing in Califor-
nia were mostly as to the monstrous size to which they
grew, such as an onion growing in Santa Cruz to the
enormous weight of twenty-one pounds, cabbages having
circumferences of over twelve feet, one potato making a
meal for twelve persons and fully half th potato left when
they had finished. A little later some districts were pro-
hibited from participating in prize contests conducted by
eastern seed houses as they won practically all the prizes
for size and quantity. All of these facts have been taken
by our eastern neighbors with the proverbial “grain of
salt.” These marvelous productions have been however,
with our mild climate the leading inspiration for our high
standing as a vegetable producing state. The vegetable
crops of Southern California alone according to present
indications will amount to approximately $50,000,000;
equal nearly to our much heralded orange crop. Many
of the crops going out of the State require thousands of
cars to move them.
We take especial pride in the fact that through our ef-
forts certain strains of vegetables have been introduced
and have proven of unquestionable merit. Among these
can be placed Cannon Ball Cabbage of which this year
there is being planted around Los Angeles no less than a
thousand acres. Each year Cannon Ball Cabbage is gam-
ine favor on account of its small core and solid head
which are pleasing the consumer, and its earliness, sure-
ness of heading and early yield which are pleasing to the
grower. Our friends who last year made from $250 to
$350 per acre from Cannon Ball will this year double that
amount because the price of cabbage for shipping is two
or three times what it was last year. See Page 12.
There was and is still grown for market a light green
solid headed lettuce. The Wonderful, which made a flat
head only during our cool weather, thus seldom making
good heads for shipping before the holidays. The shipper
wanted something that headed earlier and with darker
green foliage but still with the well blanched white center.
This we found and introduced as the New York Special.
These two were often found in the same field but noting
the deeper green conical head type and picking on this
as the tyoe wanted by the shipper we had this “special”
strain grown as New York Special and from that time the
shipment of lettuce from California has increased almost
in leaps and bounds until now this lettuce is shipped prac-
tical^ the year around instead of only during the early
snring months as formerly. Throughout the markets of
the country this lettuce is known as the Los Angeles
Market Lettuce. (See Page 16).
We are this year offering the John Baer Tomato which
has won favor wherever grown. John Baer is early ma-
turing one to two weeks earlier than Earliana; colors
evenly when ripe; round shaped making it one of the most
attractive tomatoes. (See Page — ).
Our Special Market Gardeners Strains
of many vegetables are the best
strains procurable. When in the mar-
ket for any seed we will be pleased
to assist all in their selection of var-
ieties for their particular needs.
Our Special Strain of Chinese Giant
Pepper is unsurpassed for purity and
character.
Our Special Strain of Pimiento Pepper
is also of our original introduction
and the largest and most meaty var-
iety yet introduced.
Our New Columbus Casaba we believe
to be a great advance among this
popular class of Melons, and its ad-
vantage being of deep salmon flesh,
making it most popular as a market
melon.
Our Gray Seeded Kentucky Wonder
Bean. The largest and most showy
of all Kentucky Wonders.

Would appreciate list of your neighbors interested in good seed.
This Lawn was seeded down with our high-grade seed. Critical buyers know and use our seed.
CLOVER AND GRASS SEEDS
Australian Rye Grass. A fine grass for quick lawn;
should be sown very thick and will produce a fine lawn,
withstanding drought much better than Kentucky Blue
and making sod more quickly, but is a little more coarse
in its growth. Lb. 15c. Postage extra.
White Clover. The best varietv for lawn purposes, mak-
ing a fine even lawn. There is a great variety of grades
of this seed; some adulterations and others impure,
which makes a great difference in price. We are pro-
curing at all times the purest that money can buy. Lb.
65c. Ask for special price on quantities. Postage extra.
Shady Lawn. A grand grass for sowing under trees,
where no other grass will succeed. It makes a beautiful
velvety lawn; grows much finer in leaf than Blue Grass
and will stand in quite dense shade. Lb. 75c, post-
paid 85c.
Blue Grass (Kentucky). What we have just said concern-
ing clover we repeat in connection with this fine grass.
To meet competition many have added mixtures to give
weight and reduce its cost, and thus are able to sell
cheaper. We challenge anyone to show finer or cleaner
stock than ours. Ask for price on large amounts. Lb.
30c, postpaid 40c.
LAWN FERTILIZERS — High Grade
25 lbs. 75c; 50 lbs. $1.35; 100 lbs. $2.50
Lawn grass is a voracious feeder and will not thrive
and hold its beautiful dark green color and velvety ap-
pearance unless it receives a sufficient supply of suitable
food. Because so few appreciate this fact is the reason
there are so many poor, rusty-looking lawns. Stable ma-
nure is unpleasant to handle, ill-looking and decidedly
odorous, and is also full of waste material. It contains
weed seeds which are obnoxious, and it often takes years
to eradicate the weeds. All these objections are obviated
b-'- the use of our Lawn Fertilizer, and if our Lawn Seed
is used there is no excuse for a bad lawn. If the lawn is
in fair condition it is only necessary to rake off the dead
leaves and grass in the early spring and scatter broadcast
over its surface some of our Lawn Fertilizer with a little
of our Lawn Seed over the thin spots and the work is
done.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE— The first application should
be made in the Spring, at the rate of 50 pounds of fer-
tilizer to every 1,000 feet of lawn, evenly distributed.
For seeding down a new lawn scatter 75 pounds of fer-
tilizer broadcast on every 1,000 square feet, and rake it in
thoroughly before sowing the seed.
HINTS FOR MAKING AND CARING FOR LAWNS
The first thing is to have the soil well
spaded up and pulverized. On places
where soil has been filled in, or places
where no crop of any kind has been
raised for a number of years, it is ad-
visable to spade up the ground, pul-
verize it and rake and water regularly,
just as if the lawn had been seeded;
this will start the seeds of all weeds
that have been lying dormant for years,
awaiting enough moisture to germinate.
If salt grass or devil grass shows up
pull it up, every bit of it. It will save
lots of work afterward. If soil con-
tains much devil grass it will pay to
cart off the whole surface down to
about two feet, and haul good loam in
its place. If only ordinary weeds come
up, spade them under. Repeat the op-
eration about three weeks afterwards.
This will bring the soil in fine condi-
tion and save much time and money
spent on pulling weeds. Use plenty of
good seed. Blue Grass one bound for
every 200 square feet; Clover one pound
for every 250 square feet. If Blue Grass
and Clover are used, it is advisable to
go over the ground twice, once with
Blue Grass and once with Clover. This
is done in order to have the Blue Grass
and Clover seed uniformly spread all
over the surface. Rake the seed in
well, and cover very lightly with
screened manure. Great care should be
taken in selecting manure for lawns;
the manure most suitable is horse or
cow manure that has been piled up and
heated at least 60 days before being
used on a lawn. When manure is piled
up it begins to heat and seeds of any
kind that are mived in, begin to sprout;
the manure gradually increases in heat
until it gets so hot that any kind of
plant or weed mixed in with it, will
burn up. '
It has been a practice around Los
Angeles for teamsters to go to any
corral, screen th meanure, load it up
and sell it for lawn purposes. This ac-
counts for so many lawns where more
weeds than grass come up, and espe-
cially for lawns where devil grass pre-
dominates. Almost all alfalfa fields in
this region have devil grass growing in
them. This grass goes to' seed about
the time alfalfa is high enough to cut;
it is fed to the cows mixed with alfalfa,
and is in a perfect state of preservation
when picked up with the manure and
put on the lawns.
In places where the lawn is steep
burlap is used to good advantage to
cover the ground after sowing. It not
only prevents the surface of the ground
from drying, but it keeps the seeds
from getting washed out by the fre-
quent waterings that have to be given
in such places.
Watering a new lawn must be done
with great care. A fine Rose nozzle
should be used to apply the water and
it should always be done in the evening
or morning.
Having had for a great many years
personal experience in the making of
lawns in this vicinity, we appreciate
the fact Jhat good seed is absolutely
necessary for starting a lawn. Our
Blue Grass Seed is the very best grown
in Kentucky, where no trace of salt
grass is to be found. Our Clover Seed
is free from all weeds.
Double Cosmos. From Actual Photo.
OUR NEW DOUBLE COSMOS
This is one of the grandest novelties of recent years — coming fair-
ly true — a good percentage quite double while others are crested — as
illustrated on page 32. All are of an advanced type of this popular
flower. Growth is not quite so robust as the original, seldom growing
over five feet, but of more branching habit. The illustration is from
a photo showing the dense growth and profusion of bloom. Some of
these are as double as asters and all are highly recommended.
New Double Cosmos, white. Pkt. 15c.
New Double Cosmos, pink. Pkt. 15c.
SUDAN GRASS
The Wonder Fodder Plant. Also makes a superb pasture. A rec-
ord of growth of six feet in six weeks was made in San Bernardino
County and it can be cut two to four times during the season. An
excellent ensilage or dairy crop — fine for people keeping a cow or a
horse, as a green crop, making an immense yield of feed. See page 6.
VITIS CAPENSIS
Evergreen ornamental grape. An
excellent subject for covering per-
gola, arbor or trellis. Foliage is large
greenish bronze and berries deep pur-
ple. An extremely rapid climbing
vine and very ornamental. Highly
recommended for a climber in warm
position.
Vitis Capensis sprays as a decora-
tion in fruit dishes have no equal, the
purple berries and bronze foliage set-
ting off any fruit.
Plants from 4 in. pots, 50c each;
postpaid. Seed per package, 10c.
NEW HONEY DEW
MELON
A Casaba of very high merit. Last
season these melons brought the top
price on Chicago market and wherever
sold and tested probably more money
was cleared on this melon by the
growers than any variety for years.
A remarkably fine shipping melon.
Also highly recommended for home
use. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; Ya lb. $1.75; Yt
lb. $3.00; 1 lb. $5.00.
