PIONEER SEED! HOUSE NURSERY©

GREENHOUSES

OF THE
NORTHWEST

Will’s Emerald Lawn Grass Mixture

This is a mixture of choice grass of the finest quality, prepared for this
latitude by many years of careful and expensive experiments. It makes a thick,
heavy turf by forming a compact growth of short varieties. These following
one another in rapid succession, preserve a rich, green lawn throughout the
entire season. Will make a beautiful lawn four weeks from sowing. Emerald
Lawn grass speaks for itself. The very best lawns in the Northwest are the
product of it. It would be very difficult to find a town in the Northwest without
one or more beautiful lawns produced from Will’s Emerald.

Every variety of grass in Will’s Emerald Mixture is of the choicest and
highest grade. This is the only lawn grass seed we offer.

Good lawn grass cannot be cheap; if a cheap grass is sown only a cheap
lawn can be expected, if any.

We wish to call particular attention to the many brands of cheap socalled
lawn mixtures claimed to contain large percentages of high priced grasses which
are worth in the market often double the price asked for the mixtures. We have
noticed that one of our competitors has been offering for a number of years a
mixture they call “Emerald” at a very low figure with the apparent intention to
have it appear that they are selling the same as Will’s Emerald Mixture at about
half our price.

The only direction required is to have your soil well pulverized, smooth and
mellow. Scatter the seed as evenly as possible; rake in thoroughly. Do not
rake all one way, but move the rake backward as well as forward. By this
motion there is less liability to “bunch” the seed, making an uneven stand.
When well covered and surface carefully smoothed, turn on spray until thor-
oughly soaked and keep wet until the surface becomes green, after which water
as needed. The rules for seeding is one pound of seed to 300 square feet. Lb.
35c., postpaid. By express or freight, 5 lbs. $1.25, 10 lbs. $2.25, 20 lbs. $4.00.

Note — All soils contain more or less weed seeds, and the black, rich soil
often used as a top dressing contains thousands of such seeds to the cubic foot
and are charged up to the seedsman by unthinking persons. All seeds used in
our mixture are the purest and cleanest that can be produced.

General Direction to Customers

The attention of our customers is respectfully called to the following directions,
which will, if followed, be an aid to purchasers as well as ourselves.

HOW TO SEND MONEY. Money can be sent safely either by Post Office Order,
Bank Draft, Express or Registered Letter. If your order amounts to 50 cts. or up-
wards, always send by one of the above methods, at our risk and expense, make
remittances payable to Oscar H. Will & Co. We will accept postage stamps for or-
ders amounting to 50 cents or less, but prefer coin. We cannot use Canadian stamps.

SEEDS POSTPAID BY MAIL. Remember that our prices in this catalog include
payment of postage by us to all post offices in the U. S. or Canada, on all vegetable
and flower seed orders by the packet, ounce, or pound, except as otherwise stated.
Please note carefully difference between postpaid prices and express ana freight
prices. Please do not remit express prices and order sent by mail as it causes a
great deal of annoyance and delay in correspondence. Should purchaser desire any
goods quoted by express or freight sent by parcel post add the required amount, and
in so doing add sufficient to pay postage on the packing or container, which can
easily be estimated. It must be borne in mind that the slightest additional frac-
tion of a pound costs as much as a full pound. The limit in weight is fifty pounds
for up to 150 miles, and twenty pounds for a greater distance. Parcel Post to Can-
ada with a weight limit of eleven pounds takes the eighth zone rate.

SEE NEXT PAGE FOR PARCEL POST MAP AND RATES.

SEEDS SENT BY FREIGHT OR EXPRESS MEANS that we deliver the goods to
the express or railway company The purchaser pays all transportation charges on
receipt of goods. On moderate sized orders we advise express shipment rather
than freight.

PACKING. No charge is made for boxes, bags or wrapping for any goods offered
in this catalog.

KEEP A COPY OF YOUR ORDER. Check goods received' with this copy. Some-
times items are sold out or will follow later, in which case a slip is enclosed with
other goods or notices sent.

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

ORDERS ARE PROMPTLY FILLED. Or in case of delay, notified by postal card.
If you do not hear from an order sent us within a reasonable length of time, send
us a duplicate of your order, covering date of order, amount of same and form of
remittance, your name and full address.

SAFE ARRIVAL OF PACKAGES. We endeavor to secure the safe arrival of
packages of seeds, bulbs and plants in good condition in every case. If a package
is injured or lost by mail or express we will replace it as soon as we are informed
of the fact.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY. It is so manifestly impossible for a seller of any per-
ishable goods to be responsible for what may happen to them after they leave his
hands, especially one like seeds, which are planted in the ground under varying con-
ditions of soil and climate that we, in common with all American seed houses, dis-
claim responsibility as to crop which may be raised from the seeds, which we sell.
At the same time, in case of any failure to secure proper results caused from some
inherent fault in the seeds themselves we accept responsibility, not for the crop,
but to the extent of the amount of money paid for the seeds, if immediately advised
(or seed may be returned, see below).

We wish it understood that all seeds are sold under the following general non-
warranty:

We give no warrant, express or implied, as to the description, quality, productive-
ness or any other matter, of any seeds, bulbs, shrubs or trees sold by us, and we will
not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the
goods on the above terms, no sale is made thereof, and they must be returned at
once and money will be refunded.

As to trees and plants we guarantee a safe arrival of all goods sold from this cata-
log at price quoted herein when shipped by express. We do not guarantee stock
after it has been received and planted by the purchaser.

SPECIAL ONION SEED PREMIUM

With each order for four pounds of onion seed (enough for one acre) we will give, at the
purchaser’s request, the book “Onions,” by Ralph W. Jordan. This book gives the history,
soil requirements, varieties, preparation of seed bed, planting the seed, culture, harvesting,
storing, marketing, yield, cost of growing, and onion pests, including insects and diseases.
An excellent work, which should be in the hands of everyone interested in onion growing.

ASPARAGUS.

• Spar gel Asperge S parris

One Ounce Will Sow Fifty Feet of Drill.

Culture — Sow early in spring in rows one foot apart; when one year old the roots may
be taken up and transplanted in permanent beds, which should be made by taking out
the soil to a depth of about 16 inches, fill in with six inches of well rotted stable manure,
then six inches of soil somewhat firmed and place the roots on the same about 10 inches
apart with the roots well spread out and cover so that the crown will be about four inches
below the surface. Keep the surface well raked to keep down the weeds until the shoots
appear.

Conover’s Colossal. A well tried standard variety. Large size, quick growth. Excel-
lent quality. Pkt. 5c; oz, 10c; %Ib, 20c; lib, 60c, postpaid.

Columbia Mammoth White. A distinct variety of strong and vigorous growth, producing
very large white shoots that in favorable weather remains white as long as fit for use.
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 14 lb., 20c, postpaid.

Roots of Both Above Varieties. Doz, 35c, postpaid. Express or freight, dozen, 25c; 50,

BEANS— DWARF OR BUSH

Krup Bohnen Harricots Nains

Please remember that the prices here quoted are by mail, postpaid to any address In
the United States, unless otherwise noted.

Culture — Beans should not be planted until the ground is warm, as cold and wet weather
will cause the seed to rot. For garden culture plant four or five seeds in hills one foot
apart, and the rows 18 inches apart. For field culture make the rows three or three
and one-half feet apart, and cover with two inches mellow soil. Do not hoe or cultivate
while the plants are wet with dew or rain, as getting the leaves bespattered with earth
causes rust, which injures the crop. Note that we are listing beans by weight instead of
measure. One pound of beans is a little less than one pint.

1916 Bean crop throughout the entire country was again nearly a total failure, same as
1915, hence the high prices.

Green Pod
Stringless

Green pods. The
only stringless
green pod in cul-
tivation, super--
ior to the wax
sort. Earliest
of all the green
pod sorts and
possessing a
richness in fla-
vor, not found
in any other
variety of snap
beans. Pkt, 5c;

20c; 1Tb, 35c,
postpaid. 5Ibs,
$1.00 by express

German Black
Wax

One of the
best varieties.
Delicious and
p r o d u ctive.
With the singie
objection of col-
or this is a

close rival to the Golden Wax, as the pods are nearly the same in appearance. Pkt, 5c;
14Tb, 15c; !£Ib, 20c; lib, 30c, postpaid. By express or freight, 5Ibs, 90c.

IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX BEAN (See cut)

We have given our strain of Improved G Tden 'vr'ax' Bean more care and attention than
most anything we grow, and have been rewarded with results. The only method of keep-
ing the yellow or golden pod sorts of bean pure or anything like it is by constant at-
tention in pulling out the “sports” or green pods which will invariably show themselves
each season. Pods are very large, long, brittle and entirely stringless, of a rich golden
wax color, and from one to two weeks earlier than the old Golden Wax strain. Pkt, 5c;
14Tb, 10c; y2 lb, 15c; 1Tb 25c, postpaid; 5Ibs, $1.00, by express or freight.

Davis Kidney Wax. An entirely distinct sort. Seed is entirely white, without eye. Pods
flat, Tong, white, straight and handsorhe. Very hardy and productive. One of the best
also for soup or baking, being of a peculiar rich flavor not found in the field beans.
Pkt, 5c; 14Tb, 15c; -%lb, 20c; lib, 35c, postpaid; 5 Tbs, $1.00 by express or freight.

Early Golden- Eyed Wax. A superior wax bean. It is early, vigorous, a copious bearer,
rich and tender, and has never been known to rust or spot, Pkt, 5c; !4Ib, 15c; l£Tb, 20c;

SURE CROP STRINGESS

SURE CROP STRINGLESS WAX BEAN (See cut)

We are offering this truly wonderful Golden Wax Bean
after giving it a thorough trial on our own grounds. It is the
most vigorous and productive of any of the wax sorts. It
sometimes resembles the Currie Rust Proof in pod and
seed, but is more hardy and more thoroughly Rust Proof
Wax. The pod, which is a rich yellow color, is perfectly
stringless at all stages of development. Pkt, 5c ; V^Tb,

freight.

DWARF OR BUSH

The “Burpee-
Improved”

The pods are truly
enormous in size, —
borne abundantly and
well filled with hand-
some beans which are
both larger and thick-
er than those of the
popular Burpee's Bush
Lima, — and fully
eight days earlier! It
differs from the best
strains of Burpee’s
Bush Lima in having
uniformly much larg-
er pods, producing
more beans, while
both pods and beans
are not only larger in
size but also consider-
ably thicker. Pkt,
10c; %Ib, 20c;. %lb,
35c; lib, 60c, postpaid.

Burpee’s Bush Lima.

About two weeks ear-
lier than the
Limas and having all
the excellence, this
has become a standard
variety in the North-
west. The bushes
grow about 18 inches
in height and -very
branching. Pk<-, 5c;

Field Beans

Pilot, the Bean Ahead

The Earliest Field Bean.

This remarkable early field bean was offered by us for the first time in our 1913
catalog. It should have appeared as “Dupont Navy,” but through a typographical
error it appeared as “Pierpont Navy.”

We have now changed the name with the consent of the originator to Pilot, The
Bean Ahead, as it surely is ahead of all other field beans. Mr. Wm. H. Dupont of
Minnesota discovered this bean among his Golden Wax garden beans, it being a
sport from that variety, and we purchased our first stock seed from him.

It may seem improbable to many that the Golden Wax garden bean should pro-
duce a small white podded ibean just as early, and the writer might have been skepti-
cal were it not for the fact that he discovered some years ago a pod of a similar
white bean on the same stalk with Golden Wax, which he planted the following
year, but unfortunately it was destroyed by a careless employee. We consider the
Pilot a most valuable acquisition to our field crops, particularly in the Northwest
where our season Ibetween killing frosts is short. Packet, 5c; ^Ib, 15c; %Ib, 25c;
lib, 45c, postpaid; by express or freight, lib, 35c; lOIbs, $2; bu., 60 lbs, $10.

GREAT NORTHERN FIELD BEANS

The Great Northern is an exceptionally early and- very productive bean which is meet-
ing with ever increasing favor. It is a pure white, kidney shaped bean of high quality,
and especially pleasing flavor. The first beans of this variety were obtained from the Ft.
Berthold Indians by Mr. Will over thirty years ago, and had been raised by them at that
time for many years; thus they are absolufply acclimated and adapted to our state. Pkt,
5c; 14Tb, 15c; i/2lb, 25c; lib, 45c, postpaid, lib, 35c; lOIbs, $2.; bu. of 601bs, $9.50, by express
or freight.

Early Navy. Pkt. 5c; 1,41b, 15c; y2lb, 25c; lib, 35c, postpaid, lib, 30c; lOIbs, $1.80; bu. of
601bs„ $9, by express or freight.

Red Indian. This is one of the colored beans procured from the Mandan Indians, is very
early and of the highest quality. This and the following, Yellow Indian, are great drought
resisters and will cook at greater altitude than any other sorts. Pkt, ,5c; Hlb, 15c; %Ib,
25c; lib, 35c, postpaid; by express or freight, lib, 25c; lOIbs, $1.75; bushel, 601bs, $9.

Yellow Indian. More tender and even better flavored than the Red. Pkt, 5c; *4 lb, 15c;
%lb, 20c; lib, 30c, postpaid; by express or freight, lib, 35c; lOIbs, $1.75; bu., 601bs, $9.

Will’s Improved Blood
Turnip Beet

This is the earliest beet in cultivation,
making roots of edible size a week soon-
er than any other sort. Color, a riel* dark
red; roots fine grained, globular shaped,
with small top. Free from side or fi-
brous roots; always perfectly smooth.
It is not only the very best forcing
strain, but it is the best winter sort.
Cooks sweet, tender and crisp, and in
every way may be considered the stand-
ard sort for the market and home gar-
dener. Pkt, 5c; oz, 10c; ^Ib, 20c; %lb,

Mammoth Long Red Mangel Wurzel. A magnificent stock of mammoth mangel
which cannot be equaled. The roots are of uniform size, shape and color, hard
as rock throughout, and crisp ;and tender as an apple- This mangel, though not
containing as great a percentage of saccharine as the Golden Giant, many who

WURZ ELS— Continued.)

Giant Eckendorf Mangel. This is the
most popular German variety of Mangel.
In Germany is more largely planted than
any other sort. Selected especially for
square chunky type, it is valuable not only
for its high percentage of dry matter, but
also for its phenomenal yields, 65,000 lbs
per acre. Roots weigh as high as fifteen
and twenty pounds apiece. As the greatest
portion of the root grows above the sur-
face of the soil, they are easily harvested,
and their chunkiness prevents their break-
ing in handling. This is one of the best
varieties. Pkt. 5c; oz, 10c; 14 lb, 20c; % lb,

Giant Taaroje Barres Mangel. This cut

is. from photograph of roots grown on our
own trial grounds. The seed is grown on
contract for us in Denmark, where it has
retained for years the Government Certifi-
cate of “First Class Stock.”

The roots of this new variety are most
valuable for their very high dry matter
content, being pound for pound nearly equal
to the best sugar beets.

Growing the greater part out of ground,
they resemble very much a stump field and
are easily harvested. Judging from our
trials we believe this variety of Mangel
will outyield in weight all others, and as
the quality is better it certainly is a most
valuable sort for stock feeding. Pkt, 5c;

CABBAGE

Kohl Chau Kal

For very early use sow the seed in hotbed or in boxes in the house. The best
and hardiest plants may be produced by sowing seed tin cold frames outside
after danger of hard freezing is past. Transplant in garden or field when weath-
er will permit, 20 to 30 inches apart for the small, early varieties, and from 2y2
to 3V2 feet for the large, late sorts. Some recommend planting the seeds in
the field, 3 or 4 seeds in a hill and leaving the strongest plant, but we do not
think such plants head as well as transplanted plants, as transplanting always
produces more fibrous roots or feeders. One ounce of seed will produce about
4,000 plants.

COPENHAGEN MARKET NEW EARLY
CABBAGE.

This new early Cabbage is without a rival
as the finest large round head early cabbage
in cultivation. The heads are perfectly ball-
shaped and perfectly solid to the Core, which
is exceedingly small, of the finest quality and
average about ten pounds in weight. The
heads look so precisely alike as if they were
cast in forms coming from the same mould.
The plant is short stemmed, the heads being
produced almost on the ground level. Our
stock of this seed was grown in Denmark by
the originators. Pkt, 5c; oz, 25c; ^Ib, 75c;

COPENHAGEN MARKET CABBAGE

Will’s Early June. Proves
to be the very earliest flat-
head cabbage in cultivation.
It is a small, flat, hard-
heading variety which will
produce marketable heads
quicker than anything we
have ever seen, making fair-
sized heads in from 60 to 70
days from sowing the seed.
The plant is most vigorous,
not subject to disease, and
a remarkable drought resist-
er, which makes it very de-
sirable for private and mar-
ket gardeners, in all parts
of the northwest in particu-
lar. Pkt, 5c; oz, 20c; ^Ib,

Selected Jersey Wakefield. (See cut).
This cabbage, under various names, has
been for many years the leading early
cabbage in America. It was formerly
Early Jersey Wakefield, then the Im-
proved Early Jersey Wakefield, etc. The
parentage of all the strains of Wake-
field cabbage is the same. The main
difficulty has been to get a perfectly
satisfactory and reliable strain of seed,
and failure in this respect has caused
many disappointments. Buyers will find
in Selected Jersey Wakefield the gen-
uine article, and gardeners may be as-
sured of its good character. It fre-
quently matures inside of 100 days from
the seed. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; y.Ib. 50c;
%rb. 90c lib, $1.75, postpaid.

Danish Ballhead. This distinct va-
riety is extremely hardy and solid, and
superior in keeping quality. The growth
is inclined to be ; tall— that is, the heads
are formed- generally on stout stalks 10
or 12 inches above the surface. There
are but few outer leayes and these few
curl closely around the head. These
heads are round in form, almost as deep
through as they are wide, ana average
selected jersey wakefifld from eight to ten inches. Color, pale

blue-green. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; ^Ib. 50c; %lb. 90c; lib. $1.75, postpaid.

Surehead. This variety has gained steadily in popular favor. Hardly any other variety
can approach the Surehead in fine quality and uniform reliability in forming solid heads,
of good size and superb quality. Original Surehead cabbage produces large, round, flat-
tened heads of the Flat Dutch type, and is remarkable for its certainty of head. It is all
head and sure to head even under unfavorable conditions. The heads are remarkably uni-
form, very hard, firm and fine in texture, and ordinarily weigh from ten to fifteen pounds
each. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c: %Ib. 5Ce; %Tb. 90c; lib. $1.75, postpaid.

Chinese Cabbage. (Pe-Tsai). Resembles when well grown Cos Lettuce rather than Cab-
bage. It is often called celery cabbage on the market. The leaves of the plant when young
are crimped at the edges, of light green color. It is of distinctive flavor, very mild and
pleasnt. It is served as a salad like lettuce or cooked like asparagus. Pkt, 5c; oz, 25c, post-
paid.

will's selected premium flat dutch cabbage

Regularity in growth and sureness in heading makes our Selected Premium Flat Dutch
Cabbage the standard heavy weight winter cabbage. It forms very large, hard, solid, flat-
tened heads, uniform in shaoe and color, and of handsome appearance. It has a very
short stem, and is a compact grower. The quality is fine and the flavor excellent, the
heads be;ng white when cut and the inside leaves crisp and tender. It has so
long been bred to a standard that the heading habit is thoroughly established and an es-
sential part of its growth, and will' produce a head even when its size is stunted by dry
weather or other adverse conditions. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; ^Tb. 75c; y2tb. $1.35; lib. $2.50

CAULIFLOWER

Blumenkohl Chow-Fleur Blomkal

Culture — Same as cabbage. Sometimes in the South the seed is sown in September and
the young plants wintered over to save time in the spring. Fin or tie the leaves togetner

after the head or flower Las
begun to form. This will
preserve the snowy white-
ness. An ounce of seed will
produce about 3,500 plants if
carefully managed.

LARGE EARLY ERFURT
CAULIFLOWER

This is unquestionably the
leading variety for market
and for private use. For
reliability of heau.ng, the
size and solidity of head, it
is superior to any other va-
riety. It is sure to head,
even under unfavorable cir-
cumstances. The plants are
very dwarf, and while the
outer leaves are erect, the
inner ones lap over the head
so as to fully shade them
from the sun, preserving
them a beautiful snowy
white. Pkt, 5c; y2 oz. 75c;

DRY WEATHER CAULIFLOWER.

During some seasons, especially like
the past year, after a very late spring,
hot weather comes very quickly. In such

pounds of sweet corn seed of you and
planted same. I think I can show the
best sweet corn in North Dakota.”

Will’s Pioneer Seed House and Nursery.

Crj*f P IJ "XT’ Culture — Sow the seed (which is slow to germinate) in
£4 JLi £4 AV H shallow boxes in the house early in the spring. Great
Sellerie Celeri Selleri care must be taken not to cover too deep, 1-8 inch of soil

being sufficient. Keep well moistened until the seed ger-
minates, as plenty of moisture is essential to success. When the plants are large
enough to handle they should be transplanted in cold frames, and later when the
weather is suitable, to open ground. For setting, prepare trenches about six inches
deep and four feet apart in which the plants should be set six inches apart. When
the plants are nearly grown, the stalks should be gathered close and earth drawn
to the plants to one-third their height, and repeat the process at intervals until
only the tops are visible. At the approach of severe freezing weather the plants
should be dug up and stored in a dark, cold cellar, in an upright position, with the
roots in a little moist sand or earth. For storage use boards for bins, set edgewise
on the cellar bottom, about ten inches apart.

White Plume. For fall and early winter
use, this is the most popular celery. The

Golden Self Blanching

Our success the past three years with
this standard and deservedly popular va-
riety has been quite remarkable. Its growth
is compact yet vigorous, ribs straight, solid,
crisp and' tender. The heart is large, solid,
of a rich golden yellow color, and of a
most delicious flavor; without banking up,
the outer ribs become yellowish while color
as it approaches maturity, but will be more

Carrots

Mochren Carrote Morot

One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 3 to 4 pounds per acre.

Culture — Carrots to grow to perfection require a deeply cultivated, rich and
well pulverized soil. Sow early in the spring as soon as the soil is fit to work, in
drills 15 to 18 inches apart, covering one inch deep and press the soil firmly over
the seed. If desired to cultivate with horse, make rows three feet apart.

way between the Long Orange
and the Short Horn class, growing
generally with a stump root. It
is a rich, dark orange color, grows
to a large size, is smooth, and the
flesh is very close in texture, with
little core. It is a first class car-
rot for all soils, and it is claimed
that under good cultivation it will

feet apart, one kernel every six inches, or
in hill, 2% feet apart in the row, and the
rows three to three and one-half feet apart,
dropping four or five kernels in a hill. Corn
of any sort should not be planted until the
ground has become warm, as cold, wet
ground is sure to • rot the seed before it can
germinate.

WILL’S EARLY JUNE
SWEET CORN
The Earliest Corn on Earth

As we had been selecting and breeding sev-
eral varieties of field corn down to fit our cli-
mate m tne Northwest, we concluded to try
our hand at producing the earliest possible
sweet corn in the world by “breeding down”
our Early Dakota to a shorter season, which
we have succeeded in doing, and without in
any way detracting from the quality. Our
claim as to its being the earliest corn in
cultivation is fully proven in every instance.
It is a very dwarf variety. May be plant-
ed very close, as it grows about 2 y2 to 3y2
feet high, producing small ears of the most
delicious corn in about 45 davs from plant-
ing. Market gardeners as well as private
gardeners, should secure a quantity of
seed, as there is no vegetable so eagerly
sought as the first green corn, and this will
always be first. Nothing can ever possibly
compete with it. Pkt, 5c; lilb, 15c; %lb,

EARLY JUNE SWEET CORN

Oscar H. Will & Co., Bismarck, N. D.

This is a red, very sweet corn, the seed
of which we secured from a Mandan Indian
at Elbowoods, this state, and the result
of the experiment was quite remarkable.
This corn is nearly as early as the Early

of the early varieties. The stalks are of medium size, with heavy foliage
of value for forage. It may be planted thickly and as late as July in the

northwest. The ears are borne two to a stalk and are about six inches in length and
eight-rowed. The kernels are a golden yellow color, which at first gives the impre_ssion of
field corn; however, as soon as tasted there is an immediate call for more. Pkt, 5c; ^Ib,

INDIAN SWEET CORN

Indian Sweet Corn

MAMMOTH WHITE CORY

One of the best early varieties and
largely planted by market gardeners to
follow such extra early sorts as Early

a week later than these kinds. A
finely bred, real sweet corn, with hand-
somely symmetrical ears, maturing as
early and being fully as long, but having
four more rows, than the old Cory, and
unlike this old variety, the kernels are
sitting close together, so that there is
no lost space on the cob. The plants are
vigorous growers, of medium size; they
are very prolific. The ears are seven to
eight inches long and twelve rowed. The

known Netted Gem or Rocky Ford. The
firm flesh is rich orange red color like that
of the Osage, but even sweeter and higher
flavored, retaining its good qualities quite
to the rind. It is rare that a musk melon

ence, and notwithstanding its immense size, it is very early and prolific; the stocky, well-
branching plants, about two feet high, carry so many peppers that in places they seem
bunched together. The flesh is thick, tender, mild, sweet and unexcelled when sliced as
salad or for stuffing for “mangoes.” When ripe the surface is of a brilliant glossy scarlet.

Will’s Choicest Garden Peas

Erbsen Pais Arter

Two pounds for 100 feet of drill; 2 to 3 bushels in drills per acre.

Culture — Sow early in the spring in rows 18 to 24 inches apart. The peas will
give quicker returns if covered only one inch deep, and where easiness is the most
important, they may be treated in that way, hut longer pods and mo.re of them will
be produced if the seed is planted in trenches three to six inches deep and covered
with one or two inches of soil- When the plants are five o*r six inches high, fill the
trench level with the surface. Sow every two weeks for succession. For field culture
they may be sown broadcast and plowed under.

pods and peas. See cut.

one-third larger than those of the American Wonder and maturing almost equally
as early. The pods average four inches in length, and are well filled to the squared

testimonials which lack of space prevents printing here. Strong grower, eighteen inches
high, a double podded pea, bearing at the top of the vine, and pods are very large, con-
taining from six to ten peas. Pods and vine dark green in color, and the vine excep-
tionally sturdy, having six to twelve pods to the plant. The heaviest cropper ever pro-

Gradus or Prosperity. Extra early; a new large podded marrow of finest quality,
maturing pods only two or three days later than the small-podded, round-seeded,
extra earlies. The vine has heavy stems with large dark-green leaves and grows
three feet high. It produces uniformly large pods, measuring from four to four and
a half inches in length, nearly round, and well filled with very large handsome peas
of the finest flavor. The peas remain tender and sweet for some time after they
are large enough for use. As the vines continue in bearing for some time after
the first pods are ready, we consider it one of theN most desirable for the family gar-
den. Pkt, 5c; 141b, 10c; ^lb, 15c; lib, 25c, postpaid. 101b s, $1.20; 501b s, $5.50,

Champion of England. Although this is one of the oldest of the tall growing, late
peas, we have not yet found one that surpasses it in quality. There is no other pea
as sweet as this. The vines grow almost five feet high, are very vigorous and pro-
duce the large pods of luscious peas in the greatest abundance. The strain we offer
has been selected with greatest care and will be found superior to seed offered in
the market by most dealers. Pkt, 5c; 14Tb, 10c; l£Tb, 15c; lib, 20c, postpaid. lOlbs,

Rettig Radis Rattikor

For early use the seed may be sown in hot-
bed. For open ground culture, sow in the
spring as soon as the ground can he worked,
in drills 10 to 12 inches apart. Sow every two
weeks for a succession.

Will’s Earliest Carmine Radish. The quick-
est of all red radishes. Quick growth is one
of the main essentials for a crisp and tender
radish. This matures in 20 days after so»w-
ing, which makes it one of the most valuable
sorts for forcing or out-door culture. The
flesh is pure white, crisp and of very pleasant
flavo»r. The leaves are very short, which ad-
mits of very close sowing. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c;
% lb, 20c; V2 lb. 35c; lb. 65c, postpaid.

Sparkler. This is a new extra early, white-tip-
ped, round radish. It is distinct in that the white
tip is larger and more pronounced than in any
other sort. Much more of the root is white than
shown in our illustration, and the contrasting col-
ors being so nearly equal gives it a more at-
tractive appearance than any of the varieties now

WILI/s ka u > t fct ca i? "m imp ratatctt on the list- Wel1 adapted for either forcing in

heat without becoming pithy; very early, mild, crisp
and tender; one of the most attractive, best selling
radishes because of its handsome, rich, bright scarlet
color and because of its excellent quality a great favor-
ite. It is ready in twenty-five days. Our stock of this
is the very best, selected with great care as to size,
shape, color and earliness, and market gardeners will
find it a money-maker. Pkt, 5c; oz, 10c; %lb, 35c; lib,

SPARKLER

Fire Ball Radish. Quick growth is
one of the main essentials for a crisp
and tender radish, and with loose soil
and proper culture the Fire Ball is
ready for the table in twenty days from
the time of sowing the seed, which
makes it one of the most desirable sorts
ever offered for either forcing or out-
door culture. It is of round or turnip
shape as shown in our illustration, of
bright scarlet color and pure white flesh,
which is tender, crisp and of the very
best flavor. It has few and short leaves,
which admits of very close growing.
Very desirable for the home garden and
a money maker for the market garden-
er. Pkt, 5c; oz, 15c; %!b, 50c, postpaid.
Leafless. Extra Early. Remarkable for the small size of its leaves. The roots
grow so quickly that they are practically in advance of the leaves, and for that rea-
son it is called “Leafless.” A beautiful bright color, and the crisp, tender flesh is
excellent. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; V4 lb. 30c; y2 lb. 55c; lb. $1. postpaid.

Burpee’s Surprise Radish — Of very early,
quick growth. The Surprise is remarkable
for remaining in fine condition without be-
coming pithy for a very long time. It

ish, as it is the same fine quality the middle
of summer. By successive sowings it will

Radish

As the name indicates this radish
is good from three weeks after sow-
ing the seed until late in the season.
This is not a winter radish, as so
many seem to think, for it is nearly
as early as the earliest sorts. Of
course, certain conditions will render
any radish pithy and woody, such as
very dry soil or too heavy soil,
radish must grow quickly, on
start, at least, to be crisp and tender

SQUASHES

One ounce to 25 hills, summer, and one ounce to ten hills, winter.

Plant the hills in the same manner and the same time as melons and cucumbers, the
bush varieties three to four feet apart and the running kind seven to eight feet apart.

Mandan. This squash is a native sure enough, as it has been grown by the Mandan In-
dians for many generations. We do not hesitate in saying that it is the most remarkable
in several respects. It is the earliest by several weeks of all squashes and also the hardiest.
The plant first forms a bush similar to the ordinary bush sorts and forms six to ten
squashes, which become fit for the table in a very short time, then runners put out rapidly
which produce another crop a little later. Seed planted May 22nd produced matured squashes
August first and continued bearing until October 1st. The flesh is nearly white and of
excellent quality, particularly fine for frying. Per Pkt, 10c; oz, 25c, postpaid.

much larger, often measuring from 13 to 20 inches in length, bright golden color and of
the very best quality. Commands an extra price in market. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; lb. 70c, postpaid.

Fordhook. An entirely distinct variety. Very early and rapid growth. Will ripen far
north. Remarkably prolific. The squashes are rather small, pear shaped or oblong, ribbed,
with a thin, light skin, and very thick straw colored, dry and remarkably sweet flesh. Seed
cavity very small. 'VV'ill keep until June in a cool, dry room, and yet in a green state they
rival the best summer squashes. Fried Fordhook is delicious. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; y± lb. 35c;

Rocky Mountain. One of the very best winter squashes in cultivation. Originated by the
late D. R. Holbrook, and is a cross between the Green Mountain and Marblehead. Flesh
solid and thick, orange in color, dry and of a peculiarly rich flavor. The shell is very hard
when fully matured and ranges in color from a very pale to nearly a sky blue. Per pkt, 10c;

Improved Hubbard. A great favorite, more extensively grown for market than any other

better. Pkt, 5c; oz, 10c; % lb. 35c; y2 lb. 60c; lb, $1, postpaid.

are “earliness, long keeping and high table qualities.”

WILL’S BEST TOMATOES

Liebesapel T ornate

Culture— Sow in hotbed or shallow boxes in the house in early spring; when plants are
large enough, transplant in hotbed or boxes and when all danger from frost is past, trans-
plant in open ground about four feet apart each way.

Millet’s Dakota. This tomato is a hy-
brid originated by Mr. John W. Millet
of this city, who claims it is two weeks
earlier than either the Earliana or Earli-
bell, and at the time the crop was in-
spected by the writer they appeared to
he fully that much earlier than both
the above mentioned varieties, grown
under the same conditions as the Da-
kota. The whole crop seemed to be
practically of one size and as near alike
in form and co.lor as so many beans.
The color is a rich deep scarlet, quality
is of the best, plant not what would be
called a rank grower, but the most pro-
lific of any of the extra early so.rts- Do
not let the fact of earliness get away
from you; you know what two "weeks
on your tomato crop means. Pkt, 10c;

house last spring the young plants made a
very noticeable quicker growth than any of the
other plants. Per pkt, 15c; 2 pkts, 25c; oz, $1,

largest fruited of all dwarf Tomatoes! The
fruits are truly gigantic in size, and are uni-

from ten to twenty ounces each. The color is
a rich purple crimson and the depth of color
is maintained throughout the entire fruit. Pkt,

Earlibell. The earliest red tomato in exist-
ence, Dakota excepted. A smooth red tomato
either for the market, gardener or shipper. It

mass of large, beautiful red fruit, one bunch
containing 23 good-sized fruits, all ripe at once.

Pajbjerg-Bangholm

Rutabaga

PAJBJERG-BANGHOLM RUTABAGA.

This we are introducing from Denmark
after thorough trials on our own grounds
which have proven it to be the most supe-
rior variety; in fact, we. find it of better
than any other of the best sorts.
The illustration is from a photograph of
a medium sized root from our trials. It
is somewhat inclined to the Purple To*p
strain and is exceedingly solid, crisp and
the sweetest we have ever tasted, without
our Improved Purnletop, which
few, if any, rivals. This also, like
from Denmark, has gov-
certificate of “First Class Stock.”

We have only a limited supply of this
remarkable root, but we offer while it
lasts at the following prices: Pkt. 5c; oz.

; 14 lb. 25c; y2 lb. 45c; lb. 85c, post-
paid.

Will’s Improved Purpletop Rutabaga

We offered this improved stock of Rutabaga a number of years ago, and even at
that time it was admitted to* be equal to, if not the best, strain of Purpletop Yellow
Rutabaga in cultivation. We have continued to improve it each year by selecting
the choicest and most perfect shaped roo*ts for our seed stocks. We do not think
there is anything in this vegetable on the market that can compare with it in any
one respect. The best Rutabagas are produced by sowing the seed broadcast on
new breaking, where they need no. cultivation or care whatever, except harvesting
late in the fall before freezing weather sets in. From seven to ten tons per acre
grown in this way is a common thing. Seed of the Rutabaga should not be sown
early in the season for winter use, as they are liable to become stunted by the
early hot weather which has a tendency to make them tough, strong and woody.
Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 14 lb. 20o; y2 lb, 35c; lb, 65e, postpaid.

Carter’s Imperial Hardy Purple Top Yellow. A most excellent sort either for
table use or feeding stock. Flesh yellow, solid, firm, sweet and rich. It is a hardy
sort, yielding heavily, with no tendency to long necks. Pkt, 5c; oz, 10c; 14 lb, 20c;
%Ib, 35c; Ih, 65c, postpaid.

Shamrock. One of the finest Purple Top varieties in cultivation. Grows with
small top and very few leaves. Excellent keeper. Good for stock and table use.
Pkt, 5c; oz, 10c; 14 lb, 20c; 141b, 35c; lb, 65c, postpaid.

White Russian. Similar to the above except in color. Preferred by some. Pkt,

POTATOES

THE IDAHO. This is the earliest potato ever produced,
being at least one week earlier than the Six Weeks, and
having many points of superiority overthat variety, some of
which are smoothness, shallowness and scarcity of eyes, and productiveness.

This potato, where it originated and is grown almost exculsively, is called the Basket
Potato, for the peculiarity of its bearing a crop of tubers in a bunch like a basket full.
While still very new, the tubers cook dry and mealy, different from other sorts at the same
stage of growth. It is net only the earliest of all potatoes, but it is alsd one of the very
best keepers, lib, 20c; 100 eyes, 65c, postpaid. By express or freight, pk, 75c; y2 bu, $1.40;
bu, $2.50.

POTATO EYES

For the benefit of our many patrons who live long distances from the railroad, we offer
eyes of all varieties in our catalog. These eyes will be put up securely in a neat box so that
they will travel safely after the extreme cold weather is past and in plenty of time for planting..
Drying to a considerable extent does not injure the eyes, but will cause them to grow much
quicker than the ones freshly cut. This the writer knows to be true from experience. Early
Ohio and White Swan, price per 100 eyes, 50c; Idaho, per 100, 65c postpaid.

Extra Early Ohio. Some early kinds will give edible potatoes about as early, but
their tops will be green for days after the Extra Early Ohio have ripened. This is
our choicest stock, uniform in size and shape. Always keep firm until late in the
spring. Lb, 20c, postpaid. Pk, 60c; M>bu, $1.25; bu, $2, by express or freight.

WHITE SWAN POTATO, BEST MAIN CROP

White Swan. This remarkab’e variety is a ^seedling originated by Mr. John W.
Millet, of Bismarck, N. D. It is what might be termed a second early o.r main crop
potato. If planted very early in the season it will have edible tubers a little later
than the Early Ohio. White Swan is pure snowy white, slightly oblong, large size and
outyields the early varieties. The quality is of the best and it is an excellent keep-
er. Lb. 20c, postpaid. Pk. 60c; ^bu, $1.25; bU, $2.

A Little Talk About Planting Flower Seeds

We find that nine times out of ten, at least, the failures with flower seeds are due to in-

experience of the planters. Many flower seeds are delicate and require great care, espe-
cially if planted in pots or boxes in a common living room. Except where directions for
planting and care is given, the following briefly explains the best method:

If it is desired to have the plants quite early the seeds may be sown in a shallow box or
common flower pot in light clean loam which should be firmed with a trowel or paece of
board, and the seeds scattered on the smooth surface and pressed with the same instrument

into the soil careiuliy. After
Which they should be covered
to a depth of not to exceed
twice the diameter of the seed
by sifting or sprinkling the
surface with fine light soil and
pressing firmly. Water spar-
ingly and keep in a warm light
place, but never allow the
earth to become too wet or too
dry.

Before watering the first
time piace a piece of cotton
cloth over the surface and ap-
ply the water which will soak
into the soil without .washing
the seeds out of plac# or un-
covering them. When the
plants are large enough to
handle they should be trans-
planted to other boxes or open
ground.

When sowing seed in the op-
en ground the same care should
be taken, but the seed should
be sown in rows and coveied a
little deeper, the earth made a
little firmer and the surface
never be allowed to dry and
crust over. Many seeds germ-
inate in three or four days, but
some require a week or ten
days under most favorable con-
ditions.

"PURITY ASTER

Branching. Late flowering.
This exceptionally fine Aster is
without a rival. The flowers
are of extraordinary size and
stand erect on long, graceful
stems, well above the foliage —
in fact, they are often mistaken for Chrysanthe-
mums, which th^y very strongly resemble. The
flower stems are often 15 to 20 inches long, making
it grand for cutting. Plants extra large and of
strong growth. One plant will cover a space two
and a half feet square. By far the most satisfac-
tory Aster grown. Pkt, 10c.

Daybreak. This beautiful aster is one of those
rare gems that have come to stay. For florist's
use it is simply unsurpassed. The flowers are
round as a ball, very large and full, on long stems,
the color is a lovely sea-shell pink. The plant
flowers Very early, and is a continuous free bloom-
er, a compact, strong grower, and in all respects is
a desirable acquisition. Pkt. 10c.

* Purity. This new Aster is the hand-maid of
Daybreak, being identical in form and hab-
it, but the blooms are pure white. A finer com-
bination of color cannot well be imagined than the
massing together of these two beauties. The plant
is a free and early bloomer like its companion. Pkt,
10c.

EAYBREAK ASTER

Oscar H. Will & Co., Bismarck, N. D.

Truffert’s Paeony- Flowered Perfection Aster.

One of the most popular strains, plants grow-
ing stiffly erect, 18 inches to 2 feet in height,
branching quite freely and producing fine large
well-shaped flowers on good stems. The petals
are slightly incurved, giving the flowers a ball-
shaped effect. Pkt. 5c.

| M. R. Lawrence, Knight, Hudson, S. D. :
“The seeds I bought from you have been the
best seeds to grow that I have ever bought
I anywhere.’’

New Japanese Asters. The beautiful
flowers of this new strain of Asters offer a
most striking contrast with those of any
other variety. They are of immense size,
measuring from 6 to 8 inches across, with
long petals curiously waved and curled, so
as to give them a striking resemblance
with the most disheveled Japanese Chrys-
anthemums. They grow 14 to 15 inches
high, are well branched and produce a
number of enormous flowers. All colors
mixed. Pkt. 10c.

PAEONY -FLOWERED ASTER

New Giant Snapdragon. (Antirrhinum). The flowers of this new strain are of very
large size, are very fragrant and are produced on immense long spikes, which render
them extremely well adapted for cut-flowers. They are easily raised from seed in
any rich sunny bed. Spring seedlings bloom by midsummer, and if the flowers are
cut freely the flowering is continuous till Fall. If intended for winter flowering
in the house, cut them well back in September. The Snapdragon, like most peren-
nials and biennials which bloom the first year, is treated like an annual and sown
every year. Pkt. 10c.

Alyssum. (Sweet). Hardy
annual, flowering from early
spring till killed by frost, and
all winter in the house, if sown
in the fall. Pkt. 5c.

Bachelor’s Button. Double.

It has been so perfected that
fully 70 per cent, of the flow-
ers are double and semi-double;
are also increased in size and
present many bright colors and distinct markings, which have hitherto been un-
known in this old-fashioned favorite flower. Pkt. 5c.

Balloon Vine. Remarkable for its inflated membraneous character and some-
times called Love-in-a-puff- The flower is insignificant, but the plant is a rapid and
graceful climber. Pkt. 5c.

Calliopsis. Many of our most showy flowers are slighted because they are com-
mo.n and grow anywhere without trouble or care, almost like weeds. One of these
is the Calliopsis. Were it a new thing just introduced it wrould be considered a
novelty of rare excellence. Pkt. 5c.

Canary Bird Flower. A beautiful climber and a charming little canary-colored
blossom bearing a fancied resemblance to a bird with the wing ha’.f extended.

Pkt. 5c.

Giant Empress Candy Tuft. One of the finest varieties in cultivation. It is an
intermediate in height, between the old Rocket and the newer Tom Thumb sorts
The plant is> of very branching habit, and wrhen fully grown is covered with its
pure white flowrers. Pkt. 5c.

Candy-Tuft. Mixed, pkt. 5c.

Chrsanthemum. The annual Chrysanthemums are altogther different from the
large flowered perennial varieties grown by florists. They grow easily from seed
and flower freely during summer and fall months. Pkt. 5c.

dance of bright star-shaped rose, scarlet ana
white blossoms. Pkt. 5c.

Summer Cypress. A highly ornamental annual
of unusually rapid growth which forms regular
pyramids from two to three feet in height, having
a cypress like appearance. The leaves are slender
and of a light pea-green until September, when
they change to a carmine or bright red. Its
bright autumn coloring has given it two other
names — “Mexican Fire Plant” and “Burning

Bush.” Pkt. 5c.

Goboea Scandens. Although it does grandly outside, it is
also a splendid house climber, and will do well running over
windows in the house, and will reward the grower with the
abundance of beautiful blossoms. In fact, it grows and flour-
ishes everywhere. Pkt. 5c. _

Catchfly. A bright-colored, free-flowering annual, largely
grown for spring flower gardening. Suitable for rock or open
border. Succeeds in any light, loamy soil. White, red and
rose, mixed. Pkt. 5c.

DWARF MARGARET CARNATION

MORNING GLORY

Dwarf Margaret Carnation. These

lovely fragrant carnations produce fine
flowers, similar to those grown by the
florists for winter blooming. Seeds may
be sown thinly in narrow drills in the
flower garden early in the spring when
tne trees are starting out in leaf, and
the plants will start to bloom in about
four months from sowing the seed. They
are quite hardy, flowering the first sea-
son until late in the fall and will live
out all winter. Fully eighty per cent,
produce fine double colors. All colors
mixed. Pkt. 5c.

Crozy’s Dwarf Cannas. The new
Dwarf Everblooming, large flowering
French Cannas, bloom freely the first
year from seed. They are much less ex-
pensive and more beautiful for bedding
than even the best geraniums. The roots
can be kept in the cellar over winter,
and each clump will give five or six
good roots for planting out the following
spring. The mixed seed we offer has
been saved from the finest varieties of
all colors. Pkt 10c.

ing better and more abundantly each season.
They can be multiplied rapidly by simple divi-
sion and grown in any soil. They bloom mr
several months. The flowers are very large and
graceful — four inches in diameter, with three
rows of petals of the purest whiteness, on sin-
gle, strong, stiff, wiry stems, two feet long.
Pkt. 15c.

DOUBLE DAISY

Sow seed very early. The flowers are very abun-
dant in early spring and may be made to flower later
by the use of water. Plants can be removed safely
even when in flower. The plants should be about six
inches apart when set. Choice mixed. Pkt. 5c.

Dahlias, French Collarette

An entirely new type of Single Dahlias
which has produced a great sensation dur-
ing the past three years wherever exhibit-

first season, and still more profusely the
second spring. Pkt, 5c,.

GERANIUMS

These are raised easily from seed, and
the gardener is occasionally rewarded by
charming new varieties and colorings from
our choice strains of hybridized seeds. The
seeds should be started early in the spring

as the plants are liable to rot off in wet
weather, particularly in rich soil, if
planted too closely together. Pkt. 5c; oz.
25c, postpaid.

Petunia Hybrida Grandiflora. In this mixture will be found all the choicest and
most beautiful striped, blotched and mottled single and semi-double flowers in cul-
tivation. The colorings and markings are simply wonderful. Seed saved from
strong, thrifty, free-flowering plants and showing the richest colors and most strik-
ing markings. Pkt. 5c.

The greatest care should be taken in planting petunia seeds, and temperature
and moisture, cover not to exceed 1-16 of an inch deep and firm the soil well about
the seed, after which keep warm and moist until the tiny plants appear. Avoid
excessive moisture.

WILL’S ROYAL SHOW PANSIES

We have spared neither care nor expense in our efforts to make Royal Show strain of
pansies the very best in cultivation and we believe we have succeeded. This mixture is
made up from the best and choicest varieties grown by specialists in all parts of the world.
The diversity of markings and colorings is simply wonderful and we think we ve never
seen its equal. The colorings and markings come naturally in accordance with the strain,
but the large sizes can only be attained by very rich soil either naturally or made so by
fertilizer. Any fertilizer is beneficial, but best results will be obtained by mixing liberally
with the soil some clear manure from the cow stable. Pansies are the most popular and
fashionable of all flowers and everyone should grow a liberal supply, sowing the seed by
March or before in a shallow box in the house, transplanting when large enough to handle
to about one inch apart, and from there to the ground in May. Pkt. 15c; 2 pkts. 25c.

WILL'S PREMIUM PANSIES.

While our Premium Pansy Mixture is not to be compared to the Royal Show, it is without
much doubt the next best ever offered. It comprises the best of several pansy specialists’
choicest and most expensive mixtures. It is a mixture that will please everybody who like
pansies and can appreciate quality in color, shape, size and substance, in fact everything
that makes a perfect pansy. Pkt. 5c.

Psyche. Each flower elegantly curled and undulated, and in every respect a
beauty in form and color. The characteristic five velvety blotches of eyes are sur-
rounded by a broad white edge. Comes true from seed. Pkt. 15c.

Bridesmaid. The flowers of this new interesting variety are very large and or
fine form. Its ground color is a rosy 'white, rivaling in delicacy the finest apple
blossom, and most strikingly setting off the dark blotches of the center. It is the
most free blooming of all the Giant Pansies. Pkt. 10c.

44 Will's Pioneer Seed House and Nursery.

Masterpiece, New Giant Curled. This

strain comes nearer to double pansies
than anything ever introduced under
that name. In reality the number of
petals is the same as in other flowers,
but they are crimped and curled in such
a fashion that the flowers appear dou-
ble. The flowers are of enormous size,
often three inches across, and the color
variations odd and striking. Pkt. 15c;

3 pkts, 40c.

New Orchid-Flowered Pansies. A

mixture of the most surprising, unique
and beautiful color combinations, entire-
ly new among pansies. The ground color
of nearly all the flowers is in light "
shades. The petals are marked with
large brown or golden yellow blotches
which diffuse into rays or veins toward
the edge. The upper petals are upright
and sort of plaited, which gives) the
flowers their resemblance to orchids.
The colors range in the terra cotta shad-
ings as well as the flesh, orange, rose,
pink and lilac. Pkt. 10c.

White. (Flowers often three inches in diameter, pure white, with a large violet
blotch on the three lower petals. Pkt. 10c.

Portulaca. Double rose flowered, mixed. Unsurpassed for brilliancy and beauty.
From first class seed, over o.ne-half of the plants will produce magnificent double
flowers. They can be transplanted eight inches apart as soon as they bloom, thus
making the entire bed of double flowers. Pkt, 5c.

Phlox Drummondl Grandiflora

Superb mixed. A magnificent
new* class with flowers as large
as those of the Perennial Phloxes.

The colors we offer in our “Su-
perb Mixture” are perfectly gor-
geous in their brilliancy. For mass-
ing in groups or arranging in rib-
bon lines there are no flowers ob-
tained with so little care and ex-
pense. The colors range in ev-
ery conceivable shade. Pkt. 5c.

Shirley Poppy. It is perfectly hardy and flowers the first season from seed.
Flowers are large, exceedingly elegant and graceful; colors pure, soft and varied,
ranging from bluish white, rose, delicate pink and carmine, through innumerable
tints to bright sparkling crimson. Pkt, 5c.

Chinese Primrose Mixture. The culture of these lovely flowers is much easier
than most people think. Everyone can have a nice collection of them by following
the cultural directions printed on each package. Our mixture includes not only aid
the choicest colors of the single flowering Primulas in all their dainty shades, Dun
it comprises also seed saved from hybridized flowers and will produce a number
of double flowers and the new blue Primula. Pkt. lUc.

Stock. Ten Weeks. New largest flowering globe pyramidal stock. A magnificient
race with immense spikes of perfectly double flowers, with individual blossoms, fre-
quently measuring two inches in diameter. Pkt. 5c.

MASTERPIECE PANSY

Mixed Carnation Poppies. Finest mixed
double and single. Best ever offered.
The most brilliant and also most deli-
cate tinted, making a most gorgeous
display. Pkt. 5c.

Salpiglossis. Grandiflora. Velvet
flower. The flowers are Jarge in size
and most vividly spotted and striped
on ground colors *of deep blue, rose vio-
let, light yellow, reddish bronze, etc.
Pkt. 5c.

Sweet William. (Dianthus Barbatus.)

Verbena wybrida. Extra fine, mixed
from a superb collection on named va-
rieties. As now perfected this is one
of the best strains »of Verbena Hybri-
da in cultivation today. The seed has
been saved not only from a large collec-
tion of bright and pleasing self-colors,
but also from the finest auricula-eyed
types. Pkt. 5c.

A great favorite. Flowers are produced
in large heads of many rich and bril-
liant colors. Pkt, 5c.

The Choicest of All
Sweet Peas

For lack of space we are unable to
make as great a display as some, yet
there can be no choicer or more beautiful
than the following:

Wedgwood produces profusely flowers
of good size, borne almost uniformly in
four-flowered sprays, well placed upon
long stopt stems. Of finest Spencer form,
the standard and wings are well waved.

It is a color that has been long wanted
and for which wre anticipate an eager
demand. Like most true Spencers, while
blooming most abundantly, many of the
flowers drop without setting any seed-
pods. Consequently the “Seed in Sight”
will hardly be sufficient to meet the ex-
pected demand. Wedgwood was award-
ed Certificate of Merit by The Pennsyl-
vania Horticultural Society at the Sweet
Pea Show, Philadelphia, June 26, 1913.
Per pkt. 15c.

WEDGWOOD

Will’s Pioneer Seed House and Nursery

ILLUMINATOR

Vermillion Brilliant. Spencer. Produces
vines that are strong, short-jointed and
very floriferous, bearing on stout stems,
twelve to fifteen inches in length, three and
four artistically placed flowers. When well
grown the plants are noteworthy in that,
unlike all other scarlet Spencers, the stems
frequently produce fours. Per pkt, 10c.

Ethel Roosevelt. Spencer. This is a true
waved variety of the largest and most per-
fect Spencer type. The ground color is a
soft, pleasing primrose, or straw color, ov-
erlaid with dainty flakes and splashes of
bluish-crimson. Per pkt. 10c.

"Duplex Spencer” produces uniformly
large waved flowers of true Spencer type.
In color both the standard and wings are
a rich cream-pink, and practically all the
plants give flowers with double or triple
standards. On the sprays of four blooms
each (of which there is a great number)
the two lower flowers are double, while
sometimes three of the flowers are double.
The three-bloom sprays give the one or
two lower flowers with twin or triple
standards. Even the flowers which have
only a single standard are magnificent, be-
ing all uniformly waved and crimped both
in standard and wings. The beautiful lem-
on keel, in addition to the double standard,
materially enhances the effectiveness oi
these flowers when bunched. Of strong,
vigorous growth, the vines bear the grand
flowers most profusely upon long stiff
stems. In order that it may be tried thor-
oughly we have decided, as long as our
supply lasts, to offer the seed at the fol-
lowing moderate price: Per pkt. 10c.

Illuminator. A strong vigorous growth and
blooms most profusely. "The flowers, well
placed upon long, stout stems, are uniformly
of great substance, the standard being bold,
expanded and attractively waved. A glowing
orange-scarlet,”— is the nearest approach we
can make to its unusually attractive appear-
ance under artificial light. Awarded Certificate
of Merit by The Pennsylvania Horticultural
Society, Philadelphia, June 26, 1913.

Illuminator is of such a distinct and telling
new color that it is sure to be eagerly sought
for by Sweet Pea lovers throughout the world,
and our one regret is that the supply of seed
is so limited that we fear we shall have to re-
port "sold out” long before the spring planting
season arrives. Per packet, 10c.

Florence Nightingale. Spencer. As claimed
last year this has proved to be the largest and
best Lavender Spencer yet introduced. This
standard is unusually large and bold, pronounc-
edly waved, yet standing erect and broad — fre-
quently measuring two inches across. The color
is most charmingly soft clear rich lavender,
which is enlivened by very faint sheen of rose-
pink. Per pkt. 10c.

Mrs. Sankey. Spencer. Best pure white.

Per pkt. 10c.

Burpee’s Primrose. Spencer. The very best,
creamy yellow shade. Per pkt. 10c.

IRTSH BELL

Irish Belle, or "Dream.” Spencer. A su-
perbly beautiful variety that shows quite a
new shade in Sweet Peas. The coloring is
uniform in Loth standard and wings. A
lovely rich lilac, flushed with pink, which
gives a very distinct and soft tone through-
out the entire flower. Of finest Spencer
type, waved in both standard and wings, the
flowers are of large size and well placed on
long stems. Throughout the season, even
during the extreme heat and drought of
July the flowers came invariably three and
four to the stem. Per packet, 10c.

King Edward VII. Spencer. A true giant flowered variety with strong stems and growth,
with no inclination to burn in the sun. A fine variety, much brighter than either Mars
or Salopian; in fact, the best dark red in existence. Pkt, 10c.

Oscar H. Will & Co., Bismarck, N. D.

A SINGLE FLOWER OF “FIERY CROSS”

Pearl -Gray Spencer. It is truly a descrip-
tive name. It is certainly a most lovely
and distinct sha<Je that might be described
as a pearl or dove gray, suffused with light
rose, showing a trifle more of the delicate
rose shading in the standard. The flowers
borne in clusters of three and four are of
the largest size and uniformly of the true
Spencer type, being well waved in both
standard and wings. See cut herewith en-
graved from a photograph. Per pkt, 10c.

Rainbow Spencer. In this striking novelty
we have a great advance in the striped sec-
tion. The flowers are of giant proportions,
generally produced three and four on a
stem. They are nicely placed, with wings
coming well up in front of the standard; in
fact, the flower proportions are perfect.
The ground color is ivory white, flaked and
lightly streaked with rose. Per packet, 10c.

Countess Spencer Hybrids. The new or-
chid-flowering sweet pea. The type and
form of these are a complete departure
from anything yet introduced. Both the
wings and stardard are very large, and its
graceful form, together with the immense
size, make it by far the most attractive
variety in existence. There are five or six
distinct shades contained in this mixture,
but all are of the large flowering type of the
same form. The different shades it con-
tains are as follows: Deep pink, light pink,

ovid shade, orange pink, white with light
pink edging. We certainly think highly of
the various shades which this mixture con-
tains. Pkt, 10c; oz, 30c; 1,41b, $1, postpaid.

Wild Cucumbers. A climber with green
leaves and pretty white flowers and bud-
like fruits, beset with deciduous, barbed
prickles. One of the best climbers for ver-
andas, trellises, etc., never suffer from the
heat. Pkt, 5c; oz, 15c; % lb, 50c, postpaid.

If seed is planted in the spring they should
be soaked in boiling water.

“FIERY CROSS”

‘‘Fiery Cross” is a most appropriate name
for a most unusual novelty. During the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when
Scotland was continually at war, the metn-
od employed by the chiefs to gather the
clans to repel invaders was by means of
a fiery cross, which was taken from hamlet
to hamlet by the speediest man available.
The fiery cross was simply a blazing pine
branch.

“Fiery Cross” has all the appearance of
live fire, the color being a scorching fire-
red, or scarlet, without any shading, and
which scintillates and glitters in bright
sunlight, thus adding a glowing, fire-like
sheen which radiates over the flower. Un-
like most of the orange -scarlet varieties,
it does not scorch or burn even during
extended periods of intense sunshine, there-
fore it can be grown in all soils without
shading. The beautifully waved and fluted
flowers are borne freely in threes and fours,
well placed on long stout stems. Per pkt.
of 10 seeds, 25c.

PEARL GRAY SPENCER

Imperial Mixed. If you want the finest
mixed Sweet Peas ever grown you should
give the Imperial Mixed a trial and be con-
vinced of their wonderful beauty. The
flowers are of the largest size, and in col-
ors surpass any other mixture of Sweet
Peas ever sent out, being rich and gorgeous,
ranging from bright scarlet carmine, mar-
oon, rosy pink, purple, indigo blue, pure
white, black striped, laced and shaded. Pkt.

FARMOGERM— What Farmogerm Will Do

Unless the soil is very acid or wet, Farmogerm will:

1. Increase the yield and quality of legume crops, gi ing quicker growth and earlier
maturity.

2. Increase the food value of legumes.

3. Make legumes grow in new localities where they cannot otherwise be grown success-
fully.

4. Supply nitrates to other crops growing with the inoculated legume crop.

5. Enrich the soil for future crops, thereby increasing the permanent value of the farm.
Better crops — better soil — less fertilizer— less labor.

Regular or Farm size 5 acres $6.00

Farm Trial size . 1 acre 2.00

Garden size M acre . 50

For alfalfa the above estimates of cost are based on inoculating 20 pounds of seed per
acre. In North Dakota and other western states where a smaller amount of seed is sown
per acre the expense will be proportionately less. For example, a one-acre-size bottle
will inoculate 20 pounds of seed, whether it is sown on one, two or four acres. If on two
acres the cost would be about one dollar per acre.

THE “BRANDT” SPRAYER

The Tanks are made of heavy brass or gal-
vanized steel and will not rust or corrode.
Are tested with four times more pressure than
used for spraying and will not burst. Filler
plug and connections are made of brass. The
shoulder strap and body brace makes it easy
and convenient to carry. Capacity, three gal-
lons.

The Pump has a brass reservoir. In the
plunger is a check-valve for the air to pass
through on return stroke, making it easy to
operate and doubling its capacity.

The Nozzles are made on a new principle and
work with a combination of liquid and air
which produces more force with 7 lbs. of pres-
sure than others do with 100 lbs., giving a fine
mist-like spray which is sent out with such
force that clogging is impossible.

The Brass Double Nozzle sprays two rows at
one time, thus doing twice the work. The
width between the rows is regulated by rais-
ing and lowering the pump.

The Tree Nozzle works on Lie same 'principle
as above nozzles, but has a three foot brass
extension for higher spraying.

The No. 4 Bordeaux Nozzle is for all heavy
solutions, like Bordeaux Mixture, whitewash,
etc. It has larger opening and is used on
the large sprayers.

The No. 2 Cap is for the same purpose and
is used on the double nozzle, tree nozzles and
Easy Sprayer.

THE BACON DRILLS AND CULTIVATORS

N912

ARE GUARANTEED TO GIVE SATISFACTION IN ACTUAL USE.

The peculiar construction of the Bacon feed allows much larger seed passage than those
of the standard drills, which with the property of restricting the amount sown, without re-
ducing the size of the seed passage, insures an even regular flow of seed and is most notice-
able in sowing the light, irregular or slow moving seeds, such as sugar beet, salsify, parsnip,
prickly spinach, wrinkled peas, carrot, onion, etc.

The peculiar agitator gives a force feed without injuring the seed and will empty the
hopper without drizzling along, allowing the sowing of a small quantity of seed.

1 lacing the drive wheel behind throws the heft of the drill and arms on a large wide
tread whrel giving steady movement to the feed and making the drill exceedingly light
running and in the combined drill and cultivator allows the quick and entire separation
of the drill part from the cultivator for working the crop.

No. 25 Planet Jr. Combined Hill and Drill Seeder, Double Wheel Hoe,

Cultivator and Plow, $15.50

Holds 2 Yz quarts. Weight, complete,

59 lbs.

It combines in a most practical way
the Planet Jr. No. 4 Drill and No. 12
Double- Wheel Hoe.

Equipment:

One pair of 6-inch hoes.

Two pairs of cultivator teeth.

Two plows.

Two leaf guards.

Will sow in drills any thickness or
drop in hills 4, 6, 8, 12 or 24 inches
apart, and has the same feed, hill-
dropping mechanism and automatic
device for stopping the feed, and has
also the new seeu inuex. it is thor-
oughly substantial and is accurate in planting all kinds of garden seeds in either hills or

drills. /

The seed hopper is ample, holding 2 y2 quarts. Feeding may be stopped instantly by rais-
ing the handles and also by pushing down the index bar.

THE SIMPLICITY of this tool, both as a seeder and as a wheel hoe, makes the combi-
nation thoroughly practical.

The wheel arch is removed when the tool is used as a seeder.

To use as a single-wheel hoe, place the wheels close together on the inside of the wheel

arms.

THE HOES are of a special form, which enables the operator to run very close to the
row without endangering either leaves or root, yet doing clean work and leaving the
ground almost perfectly level. They are the most useful of all the attachments. Use them
for 8-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch rows, and add one or more cultivator teeth for wider rows.

THE CULTIVATOR TEETH, the latest style with narrow neck, do thorough work, yet
leave the ground practically level'. Use for all deep and thorough work; though also adapted
to shallow cultivation and marking out, and for working 6-inch rows.

THE PLOWS are arranged to be used points together for furrowing out for manure,
fertilizers, potatoes, seeds, etc., and reversed for covering and for making up rows for
setting out plants. Later in the season they are used also for cultivation. First, straddle
the row and plow shallow furrows away from the crop, then change the plows and throw
the earth back again. This gives thorough and excellent cultivation, hilling the crop much
or little as desired, and covering all weeds and grass. Afterwards, the space between the
rows may be finished by using the cultivator teeth.

No. 6 Planet Jr. Combined Hill and Drill Seeder, Wheel Hoe, Cultivator
and Plow. Price Complete, $14.50

Sows in drills with the greatest regularity in a narrow row to the exact depth required.
Covers, rolls down and makes the next row all at one passage. The seed being in a straight,
narrow line, it is easy to work with the wheel hoe.

It drops 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 inches apart and is changed from a hill' dropper to a drill seeder
in a few seconds.

The tool frame is substituted for the drill attachment by removing but one bolt, when it
becomes an excellent single wheel hoe. The combination is the best and most useful that
has ever been offered and we guarantee it to give satisfaction.

If You Want Com, You Must Plant Will’s Accli-
mated Varieties

A little talk about Corn

Another short season must remind every one that the
above advice is good as our acclimated seed is the only seed
that has made any thing like a crop of corn. We wish par-
ticularly to call attention to the fact that our flint varieties
of corn are the only ones' that entirely escaped damage by
frost the past season.

The prices quoted on all field corn are subject to change
without notice.

We will mail a large sample to any address on receipt
of five cents, for which 15c may be deducted from the price
of lOibs. or more ordered later. Compare the corn you order
with samples and if not as good in every respect, it may be
returned to us within ten days after receiving the same and
we will pay all transportation charges both ways and refund
full amount you have paid. In this way the buyer takes no
chances, as we practically assume all responsibility for any
damage received in transit, or in other words, we guarantee
the corn will reacl^you in good condition.

In the past thirty-two years we have made extensive trials
of every variety of so-called “earliest corn,’’ but our list of
“sure-things” is comparatively small. Our first effort was
the improvement of the original native or squaw corn, which
is now our “Dakota” white flint; the seed was secured from
the Indians at the Stevenson Reservation, was planted on
the 24th day of June, 1882, and harvested some time in Sep-
tember. Our next introduction was “Gehu,” which has
proved to be the earliest field corn on earth. These were
followed in later years by “Northwestern Dent,” “Dakota
Sunshine Dent,” “Square Deal Dent,” “Pioneer Dent” and
“Sioux Chief Dent,” which have all proved to be most valu-
able for the Northwest.

WILL’S DAKOTA CORN MATURES IN 70
DAYS (See cut)

A pure pearly white flint corn, the result of many years’
careful selections from the original Squaw or ’Ree Corn, and
up to the time of our first selections, in 1882, was a Very
insignificant grain of many colors. This corn will stand more
hardship in the way of frost, heat and poor cultivation than
any other variety.

Prof. Thomas Shaw, in charge of the Northern Pacific
Railway Demonstrations informs us that they produced on
their Elgin, N. D., farm seventy-five bushels of this corn
per acre.

Mr. M. L. Wilson of the Montana Experiment Station, in
Circular No. 41, recommends the growing all over the state
of Montana, where the season will permit them to ripen,
Dakota White Flint, Gehu Yellow Flint, Burleigh County
Mixed and Early Squaw Mixed. In the same circular the
yield is given as 42 bushels per acre at the Wibaux Sta-
tion in 1913. Pkt, 5c; lb, 25c, postpaid. By express or

Another short season, with all
the dent corns more or less in-
jured. Flint corn is hard to
pick, but ripe flint is easier to
pick than soft dent and worth
twice as much. Raise flints
more and a machine will surely
be built to handle them. New
England, Southern Canada and
New York passed through the
corn experimenting stage, tried
out the dents, and returned to
the flints of native origin. The
flint is essentially a northern,
and the dent a southern corn.
In our own state the flints will
always outyield even the best
of the dents, produce better
grain, and invariably ripen if
planted in May.

WILL’S GEHU CORN

The Corn Which Makes Corn
Under Any and All
Conditions

WE CLAIM GEHU to be

the earliest field corn on
earth, and superior to all oth-
er varieties in cultivation for
localities where the season
'will not admit of growing the
large varieties.

Will mature in a fair corn
season in from GO to 70 days.

Will mature a good crop
anywhere where two months
of summer weather can be
assured.

Gehu is a hybrid from the
Dakota and Mercer Flint va-
rieties. It cannot be mistak-
en for any other sort as the
distinction is marked in that
being a cross between a deep
yellow and a pure white corn,
the color is a rich light gold-
en yellow. The yields vary
from 35 to 75 bushels per
acre in different localities, the height of stalks also varies in different soils, growing
from five to seven feet, with ears well up from the ground. Pkt, 5c; lb, 25c, post-

Earliest Yellow Dent Corn on Earth.

CORN OR STALKS?

If you want Corn, you must plant Will’s Acclimated Varieties,

The following was printed in last year’s catalog, but we think it good enough to
repeat:

Suplt. F. W. Reinoehl, of the Larimore, N. D., 'State High School, writes: A year

ago last spring we purchased a supply of Square Deal Dent corn for our High Scnool
Experimental Farm, and planted same and secured some seed, which was planted
last spring. I thought it possible you would be interested in an extract from the
report of the experiments conducted on the plots the past season relating to the
varieties of corn. Ground: Wheat stubble spring plowed, each plot had same pre-

paration of seed bed and same cultivation.

Plot 1 planted Minnesota No. 13 corn, yield per acre 82 bushels.

Plot 2 planted Northwestern Dent, yield per acre 75 bushels.

Ploit; 3 planted Square Deal Dent, yield per acre 88 bushels.

The above corn shelled as follows:

Square Deal Dent, 85 per cent
Minnesota No. 13, 82 per cent.

Northwestern Dent, 76 per cent.

Time of maturity of corn; each plot planted same day, May 26th.

Square Deal and Northwestern Dent well ripened September 6th.

Minnesota No. 13 well ripened September 15th.

“Square Deal” is a pure yellow dent with a red cob. The ears grow six to eight
inches in length and contain from 12 to 16 rows, the 12 row ears predominating.
Stalk grows about seven feet, with the ears about two and one-half to three feet
from the ground. It is the deepest kernel of any of the acclimated varieties, and
although the ears are smaller than the Northwestern Dent it shells at least 10
per cent more. This corn is growing in favor very rapidly, and it bids fair to
take first place among all the early varieties. Pkt, 5c; lb, 30c, postpaid. By express

CORN OR STALKS?

WHICH DO YOU WANT?

Will’s Northwestern Dent Corn

The Earliest Dent Corn on Earth (See Cut).

History — From the Montana Experiment Sta-
tion Bulletin No. 107. — In 1891 Mr. J. W. Burch, a
farmer near Bismarck, brought back from a
visit to his old home in Monroe County, In-
diana, about ten miles north of Bloomington on
White River, a little seed of a small red dent
corn which was very extensively used there for
late replanting. He planted it the next spring.
In the fall Mr. Will visited the Burch farm, in-
spected the corn, and picked some fifteen or
twenty ears which were the nearest ripe. Very
shortly after all the rest of the corn was very
severely frozen, only the few ears taken home
and dried by Mr. Will germinating. Mr. Will
planted the seed himself the next year and the
year after. The second year he raised enough
seed to plant thirty acres. This seed Mr. Burch
planted in the spring of 1895 and harvested a
good crop in the fall, which he contracted to
Mr. Will.

When the writer first began the selection ot
Northwestern Dent Corn 22 years ago he re-
ceived little encouragement from people inter-
ested in corn on account of its color, which is
not as attractive in appearance as the white
and yellow varieties, and when we first offered
it for sale in the spring of 1896 many people
objected to it on account of being red. It has,
however, grown in favor to such an extent that
we never have enough seed to go around, al-
though we increase our acreage each year. We
have received more unsolicited testimonials m
praise of Northwestern Dent than for any other
grain we have introduced since first established
in business. All the most extensive as well as
tl.e small corn growers in the Northwest are
unanimous in their praise, and have said more
nice things about it than we could publish in a
book many times this size. To be sure of the
genuine article send your order direct to us.

BURLEIGH COUNTY MIXED CORN

History — From the Montana Experiment Sta-
tion Bulletin No. 107. — This corn is the improved
mixed corn from the Mandan Indian origin. At
the time of the first settlement of Burleigh
County, North Dakota, the farmers secured
seed com from the Indians, which some of
them have been raising ever since. This corn
was catalogued by Mr. Will in 1887. It is of
many colors and is simply a selected mixed
Indian corn of quite high yield and good qual-
ity.

This corn is a mixture and is a splendid com
in every respect. It is a fact that a mixture
of two varieties of corn will produce a larger
growth of both stalk and ears than either
variety planted by itself. This fact is demon-
strated in our Burleigh County Mixture. Ex-
cellent for “hogging off.” lib, 20c, postpaid,

Adolph T. Anderson. Gary, Minn.: “I pur- ’
chased a pound of Will’s Northwestern Dent
Com last spring and it is the best com I ever j
saw. I raised a cob with sixteen good rows
which I never saw on any other cob of de-
ferent kinds. You may rest assured that
you will receive a larger order for the won- i
derful com next spring.”

PIONEER WHITE DENT CORN

Will's acclimated varieties.

This corn has rapidly grown in fa-
vor, owing to the remarkable success
of many of our patrons the past two
years. It proves to be a close com-
petitor of the older acclimated sorts.
The stalk grows to a height of from
six to seven feet with the ears fully
2V2 feet from the ground and stalks
with two ears are numerous. It is
pure white Dent with a white cob,
ears from six to eight inches in
length, mostly twelve rowed and very
uniform in shaj e. The kernel is
nearly as deep as Square Deal and
shells equal to that variety. Lb, 20c,

WILL’S 4X FODDER CORN

This seed is not grown by us here,
but is southern corn and cannot be
expected to produce matured ears, but
will produce many tons per acre of
fodder for either green or dry fodder
and for silage. The proper time to
cut corn for silo is when the kernels
are dented and almost mature. Per
bu, $1.50. Ask for prices on large
quantities.

WILL’S ACME FODDER CORN

Acme Fodder Corn is a mixture of
Dent varieties which is usually com-
posed of “off type” of our Dent var-
ieties with mixtures of sorts of which
we may hav^ a surplus. It is an un-
deniable fact that there can be ob-
tained better feeding qualities from
this corn in the far Northwest than
from any other Known sort. The rea-
son is evident from the fact that it
goes into the glazing period in from
70 to 80 days, at which period corn
possesses the greatest amount of nutriment and should then be harvested. Lb, 20c,
postpaid, lib, 15c; lOlbs, $1; V2 bu, $1.25; bu. of 561bs, $2, by express or freight.

Minnesota No. 13 Corn

The ears are of handsome appearance, hearing 16 to 20 rows of bright, rich yellow,
smooth, wedge-shaped kernels, packed closely on the cob from butt to tip. The ears aver-
age eight inches in length and are borne usually two on a stalk; matures in ninety days
when planted in favorable soil and ip a gocd location, but ninety-five to one hundred days
places it out of danger under average conditions. The stalks grow to a height of seven feet,
and being leafy, make excellent and very nutritious fodder.

This corn has been recommended as the best for this state, but as a matter of history it
has not always made good in short seasons, when all of our early varieties matured per-
fectly, therefore, we advise planting only a part of your acreage with it. Lb, 25c, postpaid.

HANNCHEN BARLEY— (See Cut)

A strong grotwing two-rowed bar-
ley, originated in Svolof, Sweden.
Prof. L. R. Waldron of the Dickinson
Sub-Station says: “This is the high-
est yielding barley we have and we
strongly recommend it for western
Norjth Dakota and districts of similar
conditions as well as localities with
more fayorable conditions. ” We re-
gret lack of space to print the table
furnished us which shows that Han-
nchen yielded approximately 45 per
cent more than the commonly grown
six-rowed barley. We have a splen-
did stock of this barley which we of-
fer as follows: lib. 15c, postpaid. By

value. We are informed this barley
commands a premium of five to eight
cents for malting purposes. Prices

EARLY MOUNTAIN OATS NO. 2

Early Mountain Oats No. 2

Again outyields all other sorts in a bad sea-
son. Average yields at the Dickinson Sub-sta-
tion, 75 bushels per acre, and 105 bushels at
Williston Sub-station.

Early Mountain Oat is the earliest and most
prolific oat on earth. It was imported a few
years ago from the Castle Farm, Oberroslau,
at Unterroslau, Bavaria, by Mr. John
Yegen, of this city. It is one of the
heaviest, having yielded at times more than
50 pounds to the measured bushel. It seems
to be adapted to any kind of soil and makes
a remarkable growth on very light, sandy
soil. This strain is to be known as Early
Mountain No. 2. These oats were grown on
contract for us by Mr. Wm. Ramey, on land
absolutely clean. We guarantee it free

N. D. R. NO. 52 FLAX

This variety, Prof. Bolley informed the writer, is one of the varieties he would
recommend for general use, having given good results for a number of years. We
have been reliably informed that this flax made a good crop on land that had been
planted to flax several years in succession and had become so infected that it would
produce no common sort. Our supply is pure and clean, and we offer as follows:
101b s, 75c; % bu, $1.75; bu. of 56ibs, $3.00. Sow one-half bushel per acre.

Primost Flax — Minnesota No. 25. The grains are smaller than those of common
flax, but it is a larger yielder and strongly wilt resisting. Those who read the farm
papers will have noticed that many farmers report large yields of this variety, and
in many cases where the common seed and Primost were sown side by side the
common varieties were entirely destroyed by flax wilt, while Primost seed made an
excellent and profitable crop; 101b s, 75c; y2 bu. $1.75; bushel of 561b s, $3.

SPELTZ OR EMMER

Is readily eaten by all kihds of stock and has shown itself to be especially adapted
to feeding milch cows. As a swine feed it is better than any other grain except
corn. Horses do well on it. Its most striking value is found in the fact of its
drouth resisting qualities. Sow 1 y2 bu. per acre. Price per y2 bu, 75c; bu. (401b s)

MARQUIS SPRING WHEAT

Professor Saunders discovered Marquis by acclimating Hard Red Calcutta Wheat
and crossing it with Red Fife, thus combining the extreme earliness of the former
with the superb quality of the latter. Kernels are dark red, hard and good size.
Heads are medium in length and beardless. Smooth yellow chaff. Straw medium
in height and very stiff. -Experiment shows that a field standing two weeks after
dead ripe did not shell in handling.

We believe our stock is as near absolute purity as is possible to have it.

Every farmer in the Northwest knows what ten days means in the maturity of
the wheat crop, particularly in a cool wet season. Per pkt. 10c; per lb. 25c, postpaid.

DURUM OR MACARONI SPRING WHEAT

Macaroni wheat is a spring wheat. It will produce at least one-third more grain
in a good year than any other wheat, and in a dry year will make a crop wrhere
ordinary wheat will be almost or quite a total failure. The U. S. Department of
Agriculture says in its bulletin: “It is not only true that Macaroni w’heats can

be grow’n in dry districts, but they must be growrn there in order to produce the best
quality of grain.” In the semi-arid sections the conditions are perfect for producing
this wiieat, lib, 20c, postpaid. By express of freight, 101b s, 70c; y2 bu, $1.50; bushel

TURKEY RED WINTER WHEAT

The past season has demonstrated the fact that winter wrheat is as sure a crop
as spring wheat when there is sufficient moisture in the fall to produce a good
strong stool.

The past few years there has been an increased demand for winter wheat seed
and to meet the demand we have concluded to put this variety in stock as it is the
best winter wheat we have found for this locality. It is a red bearded wheat, writh
a very strong straw and is a heavy cropper. Per lb. 20c, postpaid. By express or

WINTER RYE.

CANADA FIELD PEA. For Hogs, Horses, Cattle and Sheep. Equal to Corn

(From Deipt. Agri. Year Book, 1905.) No other grain crop, except perhaps oats, can
be devoted to so great a variety of uses. The grain is possessed of a relatively
high feeding value, and the
same is true of the straw.

There is no kind of live
stock on the farm to which
peas cannot be fed with
positive advantage. They
make a good food for
horses at work, and colts
during the period of devel-
opment, if given as a part
of the grain food. As a
food for fattening cattle
they are probably unex-
celled.’'

Peas may be grown suc-
cessfully on a variety of
soils, but those designated
clay loams, and which are
well supplied with lime, are
best adapted to their
growth. However, good
crops may be obtained in
the stiffest clays. The pot-
ash element in these favors
the growth of peas. Light,
leachy sands, being defi-
cient in moisture, do not
produce enough of growth
of vine, and black humas
soils produce too much. Ov-
er-wet soils are wholly un-
suited to the growth of
peas. Sow 1 y2 to 2 bushels

per acre. Samples on application, lib, 25c, postpaid. By express or freight, 11b,

Some Facts About Grass, Clover, Etc.

In the first place, we want to say to our friends and patrons: Leave so-called

meadow7 and pasture mixtures alone. As a rule they are mixed with a lot of stuff
that cannot be sold by itself. If you want a mixture of grasses, clover, etc., get good
pure seed of each sort you want rnd mix them yourself, and you will ?inow w'hat
you have got. We make no mixture except our Emerald Lawn. If you want any
other mixture, describe your locality, soil and subsoil and the purpose for which
you desire it and we will undertake to tell you the mixture yo.u are most likely to
succeed with. We are plain people and we want to give you some plain talk, as
the chances are, you or most of you, who read this book, are plain people also.
Some land boomers and others at this time are trying to make the people
believe that they can grow anything in the line of grass and clover anywrhere in
the Northwest. We are not in the land business, but we are in a business which
gives us a deep interest in the people who own and till the land, and we do not
want them to plant and sow large quantities of seeds that “will bring them no re-
turns. We are growing and deanLg in seeds as a part of our business, but wre do
not w’ant to sell the farmer anything unless we are sure it will bring a return for
his labor. The writer has had thirty-four years’ experience in the Northwest, and is
willing to volunteer a little advice to those w'ho are looking for it. If you cannot
profit by the experience of neighbors who have preceded you, as to the pos-
sibilities of grasses and clovers, we would advise you to go slow on the start
and make some inexpensive experiments first There are a great many lo-
calities in the Northwest, notably the high rolling prairies, where grasses (except
the natives, Brome Grass and English Blue Grass) will not thrive one year with an-
other for the simple reason that, as a rule, the falls are very dry, the ground freezing
dry, which destroys the root or renders it so weak that it is of no value. The same
is true of all clovers except the White Dutch. Alfalfa has been a success, and in
many localities will prove of great value, but without irrigation it will never suc-
ceed with a hard, dry subsoil, except the Liscomb strain. If you have land with
an open subsoil, where the roots can at all times reach the moisture, any sort will
be a success.

Western Rye Grass or Slender Wheat Grass

This grass is a native of the
Northwest. Here, in the Missouri Val-
ley, it grows to some extent on the bot-
tom lands; it is also seen bordering old
trails, where it often grows four feet
high. It thrives on quite strong alkali
lands, lib. 25c, postpaid. By express or
freight. 15 lbs (enough for one acre),
$2.50; 50!bs, $8; lOOlbs, $15.

Meadow Fescue or English Blue Grass.
Succeeds well in most all the soils
from high dry lands to moist, standing
the dry summer heat excellently. It is
valuable as a pasture grass, being one of
the earliest in the spring and latest in
the fall. It is nutritious and very fatten-
ing. It is hardy, never grows in tufts,
and being tender and succulent makes
excellent hay. lib. 35c; 2 lbs. 65c, post-
paid. By freight or express, bu (14 lbs),

Red Top. A valuable grass for low moist
such as old lake beds, basins, and
localities, where the soil is naturally
moist. Produces good grazing and an
hay. Fancy, solid seed, four lbs
enual to one bushel of chaff seed. Per lb.
35c, postpaid. By express or freight, lib.
25c; lOtbs, $2; lOOlbs, $16. Sow four pounds
per acre.

Austrian Brome Grass — Bromus Inermis

Bromus Inermis has proven a decided success
It forms a leafy compact turf and does well for
pasture and hay. It makes hay of about the same
quality as timothy and yields well. It stands
drouth the best of any of our cultivated grasses.
It starts growth early in the spring and remains
green a little longer than do most grasses. Pur-
chasers should be very careful in buying as there
is a great quantity of apparently good seed being
offered which analysis shows contains quack
grass. Our seed is all passed on by the State
Seed Commissioner.

We confine ourselves to the North Dakota prod-
uct, which is heavier and germinates a greater
per centum than any other we have ever tested.
The seed we offer is thoroughly matured and dry.

is as good as the average, at $4.

Kentucky Blue Grass. We handle nothing but
the fancy, clean seed, the very best procurable,
without regard to cost. Blue grass is not valuable
as a hay crop but makes good pasturage. It will
stand considerable hardship, but should not be
sown on high rolling prairie land in the Dakotas,
as in such localities it is liable to be damaged in
case the soil freezes up dry in the fall. Sow 20
pounds per acre. Per tb, 35c, postpaid. By ex-
press or freight, bu. of 14Ibs, $2.75 ; lOOIbs, $18.

High Grade Clover and Alfalfa

A LITTLE TALK ON CLOVER AND ALFALFA.

The cheapest Clover and Alfalfa seed is dearest in the end. We handle nothing
but the best grade and no doubt lose a great deal of other trade in consequence
as some people who are willing to sow a cheaper seed than we offer will send their
order to some house selling cheap grade and with it their order for other goods.
Not only is our clover and alfalfa seed the best to be had, but it is grown in the
highest latitudes where it can be produced- Our clover is grown in Northern Min-
nesota and North Dakota, and our native alfalfa in North Dakota and Montana.

With the exception of postpaid prices on small lots we do not guarantee prices
here quoted for any length of time as they are subject to change without notice.
Therefore, unless your order states plainly not to ship except at list prices we will
execute the order at the best possible price, whether higher or lower — if higher we
will send value of remittance. If lower we will return balance.

We will be pleased to quote prices and submit samples on application.

Medium Red. Also sometimes called June Clover which name is local in some of

the eastern states at least, owing to the custom of cutting the first crop of hay
sometimes during the month of June, the second growth of the season being the

A Little More Talk About Alfalfa

Studies and experiments in alfalfa during the past few years have brought a new
era in alfalfa production and the demand for hardy seed. It has been proved be-
yond a doubt that the variegated strains with the branching roots and low spreading
crowns are the only really hardy types for the Northwest. Of this class the best
advertised are the Grimm, Baltic and the Hansen Siberian varieties; to this list,
however, has been added recently by Mr. M. L. Wilson of the Montana Experiment
Station another strain with an actual test record superior to any of them, namely:
the Liscomb strain. The Grimm seed which we still catalog is almost prohibitive
in price and the Hansen seed is hardly procurable at all. We have, however, a
small supply of the high priced Grimm and can furnish roots of the Grimm and
Hansen Cossack. It has, however, been our great good fortune to procure a fairly
extensive supply of Liscomb strain which we are able to offer at a reasonable price.

Grimm or Everlasting Alfalfa. Nearly every farmer knows the history of this
strain of alfalfa and it seems to be standing on its paslt reputation. We offer what
we believe to be the genuine article at 50c per pound, postpaid. By express or

limited.

Liscomb Hardy Alfalfa

The Pioneer Strain

Has a better record than Grimm for the Dakotas
and Montana

Mr. 31. L. Wilson of the 3Iontana Experiment station has investigated the Liscomb
strain of variegated alfalfa which comes from the old Liscomb ranch near Branden-
burg, 3Iont., south of 3Iiles City. He has brought to light the following facts ob-
tained from 3Ir. Liscomb, who planted the first field. The field was first planted in
1877 with seed obtained from a field in Germany 100 years old at that time. It has
done very well since, has shown no signs of winter killing and has been a great
drought resister. Grimm has not been grown in the Northwest for any length of
time, except in the much more favorable climate of 3Iinnesota. Per lb, 45c, post-
paid. By express or freight, 101b s, $4.00; 1001b s, $35.00.

North Dakota Alfalfa Field

Montana Alfalfa

This is non-irrigated or dry land seed and next to the Liscomb Seed has no
competitor except the 'North Dakota grown which is not very plentiful. It is no
longer necessary to go into the matter at length of the superiority of dry land seed
as the intelligent farmer knows already. Per lb, 35c, postpaid. By express or

Turkestan Alfalfa. This seed is grown in a climate the same as our own, which
is supposed to make it hardier. The U. S. Department of Agriculture does not rec-
ommend it, but we carry a small stock for any of our paitrons who may desire it.

Hanson’s Cossack Alfalfa. This is one of the variegated sorts gathered by Prof.
Hanson in his travels. We paid one cent each for the original seeds. We have no
seeds to offer but have strong thrifty plants at 50c per dozen, postpaid; $2.00 per
hundred by express or freight.

Sweet Clover (White Blossom)

white BLOSSOM OR BOKHARA. Melilotus Alba. Sweet Clover is grown for bees,'
for hay, for green forage, for its value as a pasture plant and as a soil fertilizer and re-
storer. It gives promise of becoming a rival of Alfalfa on many soils.

Sweet Clover has the same bacteria as Alfalfa and thus will prepare the way for that
valuable crop. If a permanent Sweet Clover field is desired, the second crop may be
allowed to go to seed and there will be a splendid stand the following year.

Sweet Cover is recommended for pastures, for hay and for renewing worn out lands.
If handled properly it will well reward the grower. We suggest that you do not let it
go to seed. It can then be controlled at all times, lib, 45c, postpaid. By express or freight,
lib, 35c; lOIbs, $3; lOOlbs, $25.

lowest possible figures; if you want a large quantity write for prices.

A LITTLE TALK ABOUT MILLET

There has been a good deal of explaining in past years in regard to the differ-
ence between what is caked the German or Golden Millet and Common Millet. The
facts are as follows: What is known as German and Common Millet are one

and the same, except that the seed of one is grown at the south” and the other
at the north. German Millet is a hot climate plant, and grows to greatest per-
fection pretty well south. What is called Common Millet is the product of the
same millet grown at the north. What we want in the northwest is a stock of
the southern product grown in southern Nebraska, southern Iowa, northern Kan-
sas, northern Missouri or Illinois or Indiana. If the seed is grown further south
than these localities the growth will be rank and coarse like small corn stalks,
and will* not come near enough to maturity before killing frost to head out or con-
tain anything but w^ater and a little dry matter. If grown further north than
these localities they become wrhat we call Common Millet and produce an in-
ferior quality and Quantity of hay. Seed grown at the north from the southern
grown, will produce the first year a very good hay crop, but after that it deterior-
ates rapidly until no better than Pigeon Grass. Prices subject to change without
notice. Sow 25 lbs to the acre.

SUDAN GRASS. Sudan grass was introduced into the United States in 1909 from
Sudan under the name of Garawi. Sudan grass is strictly an annual and dies each
'-year like millet and must be seeded again each spring. This makes it fit admirably
into any system of rotation. The plant stools wonderfully and produces under fa-
vorable conditions as many as 100 stalks from a single root. It is the hay crop
which will be of great importance. Sudan grass yields a good crop of first class
hay. All stock relish the hay and thrive on it. The quality of Sudan grass hay is
much superior to millet hay and is said to be equal to Timothy hay. Yields of from
two to four tons per acre are common, and under irrigation they run as high as
eight to ten tons per acre. Our trials have been very satisfactory,

particularly the past season’s crop. We cut part of the crop when three feet in
height, in July, and a second crop of equal size grew from the stubble, both crops
make good hay. The part left the whole season made a growth of more than seven
feet and matured seed. We consider this grass to be one of if not the best annual
forage crop even farther north than this locality. Sow about corn planting time, 6
lbs. in drills or 20 lbs. broadcast. Lb, postpaid, 35c. By express or freight, lb, 30c;
lOlbs, $2; 201bs, $3; lOOlbs, $12.

White Wonder Millet. Our trial of this millet the past season showed a wonderful
growth. The foliage is very heavy, the leaves broad, and therefore it produces an
immense amount of excellent fodder which cures very readily. We believe that on
account of the earliness, the immense yield of both grain and fodder, and the very
vigorous growth which leaves the ground clean. White Wonder Millet will soon take
first place among the millets, lib, 25c, postpaid. lOlbs, $2; 501b^, $6, by express

German or Golden. (Southern Grown.) Our stock is grown in the right locality
and will make the best grade of hay. lOlbs. 60c; 251bs. $1.25; 501bs (1 bu.), $2.

Siberian. This millet resembles the common millet except the color is reddish
and does not deteriorate by being grown continually at the north; a very desira-
ble and profitable crop. lOlbs, 60c; 251b s, $1.25; 501b s, (1 bu.), $2.

Japanese. Entirely* distinct from any other variety. Grows six feet high.
It produces immense crosps. 'Can be cut several times in one season, lib. Zbc;
postpaid. lOlbs, $1; 401bs (1 bu.), $3.

Hungarian Millet. Often called Hungarian Grass. In general favor for summer
forage purposes. It will yield two or three tons of hay per acre. Lb. 20c,
postpaid. lOlbs, 90c; 251bs, $1.75; 5-01bs, (1 bu.), $3.

Broom Corn or Hog. This millet is very early, has heads like broom corn in shape,
but very much smaller. The seed is an excellent fowl food, particularly for little
chickens. It is not a valuable hay producer, but the seed crop is of the greatest
’ value. lOlbs, 60c; 251bs, $1.25; 501bs (1 bu.), $2.

Early Fortune. This resembles the above in every way except that the seed is
red instead of white. lOlbs, 60c; 251bs, $1.25; 50 lbs, (1 bu.) $2.

MILLET AND FORAGE PLANTS— (Continued.)

Dwarf Essex Rape. Dwarf Essex Rape produces excellent pasture for nearly all
kinds of stock.

It is an annual bearing a close resemblance in leaf and stalk to the rutabagas,
but both leaf and stalks are more numerous in the rape plant and of a taller habit
of growth. It is a pasture plant that may be eaten off by any ^ind of live stock,
but is pre-eminently fitted to furnish pasture for sheep and swine. A good crop
will furnish at least twelve tons of green fodder per acre, and its nutritive value
is nearly twice that of clover. One acre of well grown rape will furnish pasture
for ten to twenty head of sheep for two months, and in that time will fatten them
in good form for the market. Dwarf Essex Rape thrives best on a good soil,
rich in vegetable matter. Slough lands are excellent.

When rape is sown broadcast, five pounds of seed per acre will suffice. When
sown in rows, say thirty inches apart, and cultivated, from one to two pounds
will be enough. It is now being grown in the northern and middle states, from
Atlantic to the Pacific. Price, lib, 25c, postpaid. By express or freight, lib, 20c;
lOlbs, $1.20; lOOlbs, $10. Subject to market change.

SORGUM OR CANE

Early Amber. Much has been written by
the various Agricultural Experimental Sta-
tions in regard to the use of Sorghum for
fodder purposes. In many localities this has
taken the place of Corn as a Fodder crop.
The reason for this is that it can stand
more dry weather than corn. It also pro-
duces more weight of palatable Fodder per
acre. Where Sorghum is grown to cut for
hay, it should be sown broadcast at the
rate of about 50 to 60 lbs. per acre. Lb,
postpaid, 20c. lOlbs, $1; lOOlbs, $4, by ex-
press or freight.

FETERITA— The Great Drouth Resisting

Crop. Has proven itself a valuable fodder
crop. We have discarded all non-sacharine
Sorghum, for this, the most valuable of

VEGETABLE PLANTS

It is our intention to have a supply of all vegetable plants ready in time each season, of
both early and late sorts, but will not agree to furnish plants of all the varieties of which
we have seeds, as that would require too much work, care and expense. All we can agree
to ho in this matter is to furnish early or late plants, or both, of the very best sorts which
we have at the time the order is received. As a rule vegetable plants are ready to send out
about May 20th, but we cannot guarantee date of shipment, as we are able to ship some
seasons at an earlier date, and sometimes not until some days later.

Tomato and pepper plants are all strong transplanted plants with fibrous roots; can be
planted out without killing or retarding their growth.

BISMARCK NURSERY

CERTIFICATE OF EXAMINATION.

This is to certify that I have this date examined the Nurseries and Stock of
Oscar H. Will & Co. and found the same to be free from dangerously injurious
Insects and Plant Diseases.

Dated September 16, 1916, at Bismarck, N. D. C. B. WALDRON.

Remember that we can save you lots of good dollars on a very small order, but
you must send direct to us as we have no agents.

Prices of Trees and Plants include packing securely and delivery on cars here.
Purchaser pays all transportation charges on receipt of goods.

We guarantee that all trees and plants at these catalog prices shall reach the
purchaser in good condition, when shipped by express or parcel post.

No order for trees and plants will be accepted for less than one dollar.

Treatment of Trees from the Nursery. When the trees and shrubs are received
from the nursery, if in a bundle place the roots in water before opening and let
them remain for several hours, if convenient, then unpack and prepare for planting
as directed below. If trees are boxed, open one side of the box and turn in suf-
ficient water to wet them thoroughly, then place them in a cellar or some protected
cool place until ready to plant. If not ready for several days the best plan would
be to “heel” them in by placing the roots in a trench and covering firmly with
earth, which must be moist.

Preparing Soil and Planting Trees. For trees larger than four-year-old seedlings
if not convenient to have the whole surface thoroughly cultivated, as in prairie sod
or lawn,, holes should be dug in proportion to the size of the tree to be planted. For
a tree of one inch caliper and under, the hole should be two feet in diameter, and
for every additional inch or fraction the hole should be increased in size to one
foot in diameter. The hole should be only deep enough to admit of placing the
tree a few inches deeper in the new home than it was originally grown. Any soil
and subsoil, so far as the writer’s experience and observation goes, will grow trees,
except shale o»r alkali, if the necessary moisture is supplied. For all small trees,
planted for wind breaks and groves, prepare the ground about the same as for corn,
except that the cultivation should be a little deeper. It is not necessary that the
soil should have been cultivated a term of years and planted to other crops. In
fact, this is a mistaken idea many planters cling to, but the writer has proved the
contrary, to his satisfaction at least. The people "who stick to the idea of long cul-
tivation of the soil for tree planting also admit that the best crop of grain is also
obtained from new land. Then why not the best growth of trees while the land isi
new? The best crop of grain can be raised on the new land because the new land
retains more moisture than the land that has been in cultivation a number of years;
for the same reason trees will live and make a better growth on new land than on
old cultivated land.

All forest trees, up to and including four years, should be root pruned to about
six inches below the collar and then “puddled” in mud thick enough to leave a thin
coating upon the roots, and immediately planted in the following manner: Take

an ordinary spade, drive it full length into the ground in as near a perpendicular
position as possible; press top of handle backward, then forward, sufficiently to
leave a hole about two inches from back to front of the width of the spade blade. In
this opening place the roots of the tree; at the same time draw out the spade with
a slight forward motion, which will allow the fine earth to close in about the roots,
then tread firmly, keeping the tree in position with the one hand holding by the top.
This is the best, possible way to plant small trees and can be done very rapidly by
one man to spade and another man or active boy to “stick.”

Cultivation of Trees. All groves and wind-breaks should be well cultivated for
four or five years, after which all the care they need is to protect them from stock
and fire.

Lawn and avenue trees cannot, of course, be cultivated to the same extent, but
a small space about the tree should be kept free from grass and weeds, and mulched
with well rotted stable manure or some other material that will hold the moisture
for the use of the trees instead of being evaporated by the sun and wind.

Pruning. Trees may be pruned or trimmed to almost any form to please the fancy
of the owner, without damage, but should be done while the wood is dormant, ex-
cept the Box Elder, which must be done in the growing season to avoid loss of sap.

Norway Poplar. The Norway Poplar appears to combine more desirable qualities
in a high degree than any other tree that has been brought before the public. Its
origin is in doubt. We have no evidence that it came from Norway. But it first
came to light among the Norwegians of Southern Minnesota, where it has been
gaining in popularity on its merits for the past thirty years. During
the past seven years it has been sucessfully grown in the Northwestern states. 4

Cut Leaf Weeping Birch

One of the most graceful of all orna-
mentals. It is perfectly hardy, not a
single one of the delicate willowy
branches ever having been injured by
heat or cold. For the most attractive
ornament this tree is really without a
rival. Our stock consists of extra fine
specimen trees, each a picture by itself.
5 to 6 feet, each 75c; doz. $8.

Hardy Russian Olive

This is the hardiest of the Russian
importations. It will not only thrive on
the poorest and dryest soil, but will
luxuriantly stand in stagnant water
for months. The foliage is a silvery
white, retaining its freshness very late
in the fall, even after very severe
freezing, and frequently well into the
winter. Flower is small, yellowish and
produced abundantly. Trained into a
tree it is one of the most beautiful orna-
ments. By cutting back for a hedge it
becomes dense and compact and pro-
duces a most valuable fence which will
turn all kinds of farm stock, and as an
ornamental hedge it is the most attrac-
tive thing in cultivation. For hedge, the
plants should be set one foot apart. Al-
though the wood is hard and the nature
of the plant so hardy, it is a very rapid
grower, the established plants making a
growth of several feet in a season when
the soil is rich and well cultivated. Fine
stock plants, one year, per dozen, $1;
per 100, $8. 10 to 20 inches, doz, $1.50;

100, $9. 4 to 5 feet, each, 20c; doz, $2;

100, $12; 5 to 7 feet, each, 25c; doz, $2.50;
100, $20. One year, postpaid, doz, $1.25;
100, $9.

OLIVE TREE AND HEDGE

Siberian Pea Tree

Caragana Arborescens

Bull Berry or Buffalo Berry. A na-
tive shrub with silver green foliage,
hearing enormous loads of fiery-red
berries about the size of an old-fash-
ioned red currant and superior for
making jelly; a very ornamental
bush; also a valuable hedge plant, as
it has long, sharp thorns. Each, 25c;

Evergreen trees will bring a new beauty and charm to your home. There is unquestion-
ably no better way of beautifying your place than surrounding it with beautiful Ever-
greens. AS an ornamental tree, Evergreens are unsurpassed. No other trees remain
green through summer and winter; none are more beautiful. But while their value in this
respect is great. Evergreens are most useful in other ways. They protect houses, stock
and crops from wind, sun and snow. They conserve the soil’s natural moisture. They
form a substantial shelter and nesting place for the birds that rid your acres of worms
and destructive insects. They are a source of salable timber for fence posts and other
uses. Plant some Evergreens around your garden and just see how much difference there
is in the temperature and moisture. You will find that you can grow flowers, fruits
and vegetables that you never could before.

These varieties have been thoroughly tested and proven absolutely hardy and reliable
and will grow successfully in all parts of the country. Send in your order now. Ship-
ment will be made during March, April or May — depending on locality.

COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE (See cut.)

The Genuine Shiner (Koster’s.) An elegant picturesque Colorado species; long leathery
leaves, with glaucous tinge when young, becoming pale green with age. Branches ar-
ranged in horizontal whorls. This is perfectly hardy anywhere in the Northwest. 18 to 24
inch, twice transplanted, taken up with balls of earth and wrapped in burlap, each, $2.50.

COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE

NORWAY SPRUCE

Early trials of Norway Spruce were not wholly
satisfactory, but for the past fifteen years there
has been little or no . loss. There are some fine
specimens growing in this city which show great
vigor and - hardiness. After ..transplanting, a par-
tial shading should be given until after the middle
of August, after which time they should be fully
exposed to the sun to harden them for the winter.
18 to 24 inch trees, twice transplanted. With balls
of earth, $1 each.

BLACK HILLS SPRUCE

This is one of the most attractive of all ever-
greens, and we believe it to be without a single
exception the hardiest. We can furnish handsome
specimen trees, whic have been transplanted three
times. Shipped separately with balls of earth.
Each, 12 to 18 inches, $1; 18 to 24 inches, $2;
24 to 40 inches, $3.

BULL PINE (Ponderosa)

Bull Pine is the hardiest of all the pines, not as
attractive as the spruces. 18 to 24 inches, each
50c; doz, $5. With balls, each, $1.25.

Roses (2 -year Plants)

mass of bloom when at its best. Each, 25c; doz, $2.50. Postpaid, 35c each.

Crimson Rambler. Rich glowing crimson. Each, 25c; doz, $2.50. Postpaid, 35c

furthermore, ever-blooming. Will bloom continuously throughout the summer
if planted out of doors. Has the same bright crimson color as the Climbing Crim-
son Rambler, and blooms in clusters of twenty to forty flowers at one time on
plants of fair size. 25c each; doz, $2.50. Postpaid, 35c each.

TTliite Baby Rambler. As delicately tinted and as full of clusters as any Poly-
antha Rose. Its pure white flowers are perfectly double, and bloom with the un-
ceasing freedom of the reds and pinks of this class. Two year, 30c; $3 per dozen;
35c each, postpaid.

Yellow Baby Rambler. Creamy yellow. As free bloomer as the white and crimson.
Each 25c; doz, $2.50; postpaid 40c each.

flowers. Each, 25c. Postpaid, 40c each.

Cherry

Early Richmond. Medium size, dark
red, melting juicy, sprightly rich acid
flavor. Th.e stone adheres to the stem
with remarkable tenacity. This is one
of the most valuable and popular of the
acid cherries and is unsurpassed for
cooking purposes. Tree is a slender
grower, with a roundish spreading head,
and is exceedingly productive. 4 to 5
feet, each, 50c; dozen, $5.

THE COMPASS CHERRY-PLUM
Compass Cherry-Plum. (See cut). Is
a cross between a Sand Cherry and Mi-
ner Plum, and is undoubtedly the best
cross of any kind obtained yet, and is
absolutely hardy. All of our stock of this
variety is grafted on hardy wild plum
roots, thus making every tree “iron clad”
both in root and branch. When propa-
gated in this way they need no protec-
tion whatever and are in every particu-
lar as hardy as the oak. (We wish here
to warn planters that some growers are
selling Compass Cherry budded on peach
roots and Myrobolan plum stock. Such
trees are worthless in this climate.) The
tree j.s low growing with long graceful
branches and bright foliage, resembling
a cherry in appearance and habit of
growth. Branch from which cut was
photographed was taken from a tree not
over seven feet high. It bears profusely
at one year old, 4 feet each, 5t)c; doz,

COMPASS CHERRY-PLUM $5.

E. O. Pittam, Forson, Wyo.: “Your
shipment of trees reached here in
good condition.”

PLUMS

Sapa (Sioux Indian word for “black”). The female parent is one of a selected seed-
ling of the western sand cherry, a favorite fruit of the Sioux Indians; the male parent, a
very large, purple-fleshed, Japanese plum. The first specimens were only one inch in
diameter, but the size has increased. One year trees in nursery have many fruit buds;
the glossy, dark purple skin and rich dark purple* red flesh. 4 foot trees, each, 50c; doz, $5.

Opate— (Sioux Indian word for “bouquet”). Female parent the Dakota sand cherry;
male parent, the Gold Plum, a very large hybrid Japanese variety; foliage large and
glossy. Fruit dark purplish red with blue bloom; flesh green, firm; flavor very pleasant,
combining the sprightly acid of the sand cherry with the rich sweetness of the Gold Plum.
4 foot trees, each, hue; doz, $5.

Sansota and Cheresota. We are listing these two varieties together as they are practical-
ly one and the same with the exception of the shape of the fruit. These two Varieties of
“C’herry-plum” crosses are a cross of the native Sand Cherry and DeSota plum. They are
of the same parentage as the Compass Cherry, but much larger and better quality. The
fruit of the Sansota is round, while the Cheresota is longish with a minute bristle or prickle
at apex, which it inherits from the Sand Cherry. The size of this fruit is about 1 to 1V&
inches in diameter, color a glossy black when ripe, flesh yellowish green, sprightly, pleasant;
skin thin and free from acerbity. These Cheresota and Sansota bloom late in the season;
consequently are seldom caught by frost and produce full crops of fruit each season. Each
50c; doz, $5.

Assiniboine. An extremely hardy and thrifty variety from the Canadian Northwest; fruit
large, sweet and juicy. Each, 35c; doz, $3.

Surprise — A strong- growing tree of erect habit; very ornamental as well as useful. Fruit
large and red, excellent for dessert and market; flesh rich and sugary, a delicious flavor;
very prolific and very promising for the Northwest. 4 to 5 feet, each, 35c; doz, $3.

De Soto. T'h;s is a variety of American plum of improved type that has been a marked
success in the Northwest. Besides being perfectly hardy it is a strong grower and produces
fruit at two years, bud or graft. Extremely productive, medium sized, bright red, excellent
quality. Each, 40c; doz., $4.

Native Wild. Fruit medium red with blue bloom; flesh juicy and sweet. Extra large
nursery grown trees. Each, 25c; doz, $2.50.

Any of the above plums, except the Wild plum, by parcel post at 30 cents additional.

STRAWBERRY PLANTS

Everbearing (Progressive). This is extremely hardy. Plants produce a good crop the
same season if planted last of April or in May. The planter does not wait a year for re-
turns, really only a few weeks. The flavor is much the same as the delicious sweet straw-
berries we used to pick in the old meadows back in York state. Produces fruit from June

to November continuously. Per dozen, 50c;
100, $2.50, postpaid. By express, 100, $2.25. We
have grown several thousand plants in pots
which can be taken from the pot without the
slightest set-back, at $1. per dozen by express.
Potted plants can be sent very early in the
season, about April 10th, and will bear fruit
all summer and autumn.

Senator Dunlap. (Perfect.) A well tested,
wonderfully productive variety, one of the safe
sorts to plant everywhere, particularly in the
Northwest. Plant resembles Warfield, rampant
runner, should be restricted in its production
'of plants; fully equal to the very best sorts
in its ability to succeed under all circum-
stances. Fruit good size, regular form, beau-
tiful bright red, glossy, firm, splendid keeper
and shipper, excellent quality, one of the best.
Ripens* early and continues a long time. It
promises to stand at the head in its wonderful
ability to ripen a good crop under almost any
condition of drouth or neglect. 25 plants, 50e,
postpaid. By express, 25, 40c; 50, 75c; 100, $1;
1000, $6.

Notice: Strawberry plants will not be ship-

ped until some time in May, therefore, if they
are not received with other nursery stock, you
will know that they will follow in due time.

SUNBEAM RED RASPBERRY

Sunbeam Red Raspberry

This is the hardiest of all red raspber-
ries. The female parent was a wild red
raspberry from Cavalier County, N. D.
near the Manitoba line. The plants are
ejxtremely vigorous and productive, fruit
large size and of excellent quality. It has
endured more than 40' degrees below zero
without protection in our nursery the past
four winters. Per dozen, 50c, postpaid.
By express or freight, per dozen, 35c; 100,
$3.

..RED RASPBERRY — Cuthbert, Old Well Known Sort. Dozen by mail postpaid, 35c.
By express or freight, dozen, 25c; 100, $1; 1000, $8.

THE EVERBEARING RASPBERRY— ST. REGIS. It Bears the First Season. One
of the greatest raspberries ever introduced. Plants of the ST. REGIS put out in the
Fall or early Aprli gave ripe berries on tho 20th of June. For four weeks there-
after the yield was heavy and the canes continued to produce ripe fruit without

intermission until late October. The berries were large and beautiful, firm and
full flavored to the very last. The ST. REGIS is the only raspberry, as far as

known, that is practically sure to produce a crop of fruit the season planted.
Awarded the highest certificate of merit by the AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF NEW
YORK. Doz, postpaid, 75c; by express or freight, doz, 50c; 100, $3.50.

PERFECTION CURRANT

BLACK RASPBERRY — Cumberland. The black raspberries
are not as hardy as the red and require greater care. They
must be protected by covering during the winter. The Cum-
berland is large size, firm texture, and has no rival. Per doz,
CO, postpaid. By express or freight, doz, 25c- 50, $1.25; 100, $2.

BLACKBERRIES — Eldorado. The vines are very vigorous,
and ir yield is enormous. Berries large, jet black, borne
in lr > clusters, and ripen well together. They are sweet,
melt j and pleasing to the taste. Doz, 35c, postpaid. By exr
press or freight, doz, 25c; 100, $1.80.

Currants *

PERFECTION,

The greatest of all currants.

Created by crossing Fay’s Prolific with White Grape,
and combines the best qualities of both parents. In color
it is a beautiful bright red and of size larger than the
Fay; the clusters average larger and the size of the ber-
ries is maintained to the end of the bunch.

Another advantage the Perfection has over all competi-
tors is the length of the stem between the branch and
the fruit, allowing the picker to grasp the bunch more
firmly without crushing a part of the fruit. It is the most
productive currant we have ever known, and in quality it
is superior to anything in the market today, being of a
rich, mild, subacid flavor and having plenty of pulp with
few seeds. Strong two-year plants, each 35c, postpaid.
By express or freight, each, 25c; dozen, $1.50,

Will’s Hardiest Apples and Crabs

Dozen lots may be made up of all varieties of Apples and

Crabapples

Apple growing is now beyond the experimental stage in the Northwest and in North
Dakota in particular, as more than half the counties now boast of producing well matured
high grade apples and crab apples; the only question now asked is as to what to plant.

We are offering nothing but varieties which are no experiment, both in apples and
crabs, having proven beyond a doubt that they are the most desirable.

Duchess of Oldenburg. The
fruit is round and firm, medium
to large size, streaked with red
and yellowish green, is tender,
juicy " and pleasant. This best
known Russian apple is also the
handsomest and most generally
valuable, succeeding in the coldest
climates where most varieties
fail, yielding well in all sections.
The trees come into bearing very
young and bear aimqst continu-
ously. 4 to 5 feet, two years, at
30c each; $3 per dozen'.

Patten’s Greening. A seedling
of the Duchess, originating in
Northern Iowa. It has, been class-
ed as one of the hardiest for the
Northwest, and recommended as
such for general culture by the
Minnesota Horticultural Society.
The fruit is large, rather oblate
with a yellowish green surface,
and a short stem. The ouality is
fine, making it an excellent table
or cooking apple. 4 to 5 feet, two-
years, at 30c each; $3 per doz.

Okabena. We have some 18 to 24 inch grafts of the Okabena apple, (see description on
next page), which we offer at $1 per dozen, postpaid.

Wealthy. This variety has proved re-
liable everywhere after many years trial.
The fruit is medium to large and dark
crimson. The flesh is white tinged with
red, crisp, sub-acid, and unsurpassed in
quality. This variety is a monument to
the originator, who spent many years
in originating new varieties and the
Wealthy being one of the best. The
writer has a tree which has produced a
crop eleven years in succession. 4 to 5
feet, 35c. each; $3.50 per dozen.

Wealthy Apple

OKABENA. (See cut) — Origin Minne-
sota. Season August to October. Vigor-
ous, absolutely hardy and an ideal orchard
tree in every respect. Bears very young,
and a good crop may be depended upon.
Fruit medium to large; yellow, striped and
splashed with carmine, which is heavy
on sun-side; flesh yellowish-white, fine
grained, crisp and juicy; flavor sprightly
sub-acid; quality excellent. Ripens after
Duchess and valuable in market on that
account. A seeding of the Duchess and
an excellent dessert apple. 4 to 5 feet, 35c.
each; $3.50 per doz.

Okabena Apple

Whitney No. 20. (See cut, below.) The fruit is extra
large, skin smooth glossy green, striped with red. The flesh
is firm, juicy and,
rich. The tree is
extra strong in
growth, straight
and symmetrical.

One of the heavi-
est yielders in the
entire list and high-
ly prized for cider.

Each, 35c.; dozen,

$3.50.

Hyslop Crab Apple , HysloP- Large,
deep crimson, one
of the most beautiful and valuable of crabs.
Very popular. Each, 35c.; dozen, $3.50.
