READ CAREFULLY
REVISED CHANGE IN PRICES
Be sure and read the following change in prices carefully before making out your order.
These prices following will take the place of the prices listed opposite the descriptions.
Owing to the shortage in so many of the different varieties of seeds, we have been forced
to advance our prices on some of the articles in large quantities in order that we may protect the
small gardener, and we will endeavor to fill all orders that are sent to use at prices quoted.
All seeds of all kinds are very short this year, and we strongly urge our customers to send
in their orders as early as possible, in order that they may receive their seeds before the supply
is exhausted. We advise our customers to write us for prices before buying in large quantities.
Compare the following prices with your order before mailing. Be sure and write your name
and address plainly, in order to avoid delay in delivery.

PRICES CHANGE — NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS
OWING to the present conditions and scarcity of so many Seeds, it is impossible to
name. prices in Catalogue that will hold good through the entire season, on every-
thing. We want every customer to feel that when they send us an order, that we will give
them the very best price possible, and the highest quality Seeds.
Prices in this Catalogue are what we think they will be at planting time, but some
crops are not harvested at the time this catalogue is printed, so we do not know what the
returns from these crops will be, therefore it is impossible to name exactly the price. When
you send in your order feel sure that if prices are cheaper than those quoted in Catalogue,
we will give you your money’s worth or refund you the difference, and if they are some
higher we will cut your order down to the amount of your remittance.
SEND YOUR ORDERS to an Honlst, Fair-Dealing, Reliable SEED HOUSE One
Time, and you will never go to the grocery or drug store for any more Box Seeds.

not required for feed, it will improve the soil equal to
manure when turned under. Rye and barley should be
sown for fall and winter grazing, and afterwards will make
a crop of grain. Sow vetches and rape, and towards the
end of the month grasses and clover can be safely put in.

For the Farm. — Sow crimson clover as early in the month
as convenient, though any time in the month will do; it
makes fine winter grazing and land will be greatly improved
by growing this crop. Winter oats will do well sown this

all kinds of grass and clover seed and winter and hairy
vetch. Continue to sow barley and rye, as they are useful
for winter grazing as well as for grain. Sow Dwarf Essex

For the Farm. — All kinds of grass and clover seed can
be sown this month, and the earlier clover seed is put in
the better. Sow wheat, rye, oats, barley, vetches, rape,

.L/JCLtJIIl Ucl the en(j 0f the month in hot beds or cold
frames, and beets, radish and lettuce can be forced for

Everett’s
Champion Prolific
Corn
“THE WORLD’S MOST PRODUCTIVE CORN”
The quality of Seed Corn depends on the care-
ful breeding and selecting of your seed stock.
We have received more compliments from
Everett’s Champion Prolific Corn since we put it
on the market two years ago, than any other
corn we ever heard of. Champion is the correct
name, for it is the champion of all corn — produc-
ing from 7 to 10 ears to the stalk, and you can
easily make 100 bushels per acre. Ears are
medium size, very uniform in size and fills out
entirely over end of cob. (See cut of ear.) Grains
are beautiful, clear white, and makes the finest
meal you ever saw.
MADE 100 BUSHELS PER ACRE EASY.
We received the following letter from one of
our customers, and there are numbers of just
such satisfied customers:
The Everett’s Champion Prolific Corn I got of
you last Spring has produced the finest corn I
ever saw. Made 100 bushels per acre without
extra effort or cost. One stalk had 10 ears on it.
Will never plant anything else. (Signed) A.
W. C., Fulton County, Nov. 25, 1917.
You can make this quantity if you want to and
try. Cut your acreage down and prepare your
land better, then plant “Everett’s Champion Pro-
lific” and make more corn. (See Stalk on front
cover.) Price postpaid, pkt. 10c; nint 25c; qt 45c.
Not prepaid, peck $1.00; bushel $3.50.

Everett’s Cleveland Big Roll Cotton
THE STANDARD RECORD-BEARING VARIETY.
We have a special strain of Cleveland Big
Boll — far superior to all others. Same being
grown in fields side by side, under the same con-
dition and treatment, and very often doubling the
yield of some strains, so called Clevelands. We
advise this for our customers for their medium
early large boll cotton. Bolls are very large, 5
locks, and easy to pick. Lints at least 40 per
cent, and 1 inch staple. We have seen Our
Cleveland Big Boll stand bad weather and pro-
duce an average crop where other varieties failed.
YOU CAN MAKE 1 BALE PER ACRE EASY
More people are making 1 Bale Per Acre every
year. Ask yourself this question: Why don’t
I make it? You can answer it, just say I will
purchase Everett’s Cleveland Big Boll and try;
then you will make it with the proper culti-
vation.
Sell Your Old Seed to Oil Mill. Buy seed
grown in high altitude. Makes your cotton earlier
and absolutely no boll weevil.
Price postpaid, 1 lb. 25c; 5 lbs. $1.00; not pre-
paid, bushel $2.59; 5- bush el lots $2.40.
See next page for other varieties of cotton.

You want the variety that
you can grow most to the
ground. Now here it is,
Pride of Georgia will grow
from 6 inches to 12 inches
in drill in 3 feet rows just
as well as if you gave it
more space.
The writer personally in-
spected 750 acres of this
variety at picking time,
and I have never seen any-
thing that equals it. The
bolls (see cut), grow al-
most in clusters. This
photograph shows only the
main branch of one stalk;
it . has other branches
which come out about 12
inches from ground — each
branch being just as pro-
lific as the main one.
These 750 acres averaged
1 bale per acre on the entire farm; part of the land made 2 bales per acre.
It was cropped on the 22nd day of July and they were picking on the 1st of
September. This is easily picked and more can be picked on account of it
being close together. Prices postpaid, 1 lb. 25c; 5 lbs. $1.00. Not prepaid, f.o.b.
Atlanta, bushel $3.25; 5-bushel lots $3.00 bushel.
"Df-.11 TT/oatnl T>r,nrk-f On account of its earliness, the boll weevil does
.DUli WCCVlI XT1UU1 not affect it much. It has been grown with fine
success in sections where other varieties are worthless.
Pride of Georgia— 3 Bolls to 1 Joint
Ginned on Private Gin
Pride of Georgia — 52 Bolls on 24 Inches.
You don’t find many private gins in this
country, but every pound of Pride of Geor-
gia Cotton is ginned on a private gin on the farm, and not a bale of cotton
will be ginned on it, other than what is grown on the farm, and of this one
variety. So there is no chance of mixture. Produces 40 per cent. LINT.
Sell your seed to the oil mill and buy Pure Bred Stock grown in sections
not infected with the boll weevil. Our seed are grown mostly in North
Carolina — where such a thing as boll weevil does not exist.
More Cotton to
the Ground
Pride of Georgia Cotton
The Earliest Prolific Cotton Grown
For the past two years we have handled only the varieties of cotton that’s
proven superior to all other varieties. Prove the merits of our seed bv pr:ving them
a trial. We are in a position
to give our customers what
they have been looking for —
The earliest and most pro-
lific cotton grown. This we
know to be a fact for it has
been tried and proven to be
a week earlier than any
other variety of its pro-
ductiveness.
King’s Improved Extra Early f(rs0enet ccuoye°n)
This variety is several days earlier than the old variety,
King Early. We have this grown in North Carolina where
there is no boll weevil, and on account of it being grown
this high up makes it earlier than if it was grown farther
South. It is a small boll, four-lock type. Grows a plant
about 30 inches high; fruits well, and should be planted
in four-foot rows and plants spaced from 12 to 15 inches
apart. Lints approximately 37 per cent and staple about ?/&
inch. For an extra early cotton to be planted late nothing
equals King’s Improved Extra Early. Price postpaid,
lb. 20c; 5 lbs. 90c. Not prepaid, bushel $2.50; 5-bushel
lots, $2.40 per bushel.
Cook’s and Cleveland Big Boll ®°r% stold(
line varieties, differing, each other in growth, only it
the shape of boll and staple. Cook’s— Staples % to 1 inch
and Cleveland’s— 1 to 1 y8 inches. Both 5 locks, large boll:
and heavy _ fruiters. Both lints about 38 per cent
L,r!£e P°stPaid, 1 lb. 20c; 5 lbs. 90c. Not prepaid, bushe
$2.50; 5-bushel lots $2.40 bushel.
Notice. — Every variety ginned on private gin to avoid
any chance of mixing whatever. You can’t get better
seed than EVERETT'S.
Weber’s Upland Long Staple
seed cotton per acre, and about 45 per cent lint. To
our opinion one of the best poor land cotton grown.
Always brings 10c per pound over the market. Has
proven very successful through this section. Give it an
acre test. Price, Bushel $2.75; 5-bushel lots $2.65 bushel.

Insure Your Crop — You can easily do this by buying your seed from a reliable seed house. Thousands of dollars are
lost every year on account of people going to a grocery store for their Seed Potatoes, which have been shipped to them
probably for eating purposes, or from sections not suited for seed purposes. This is the reason potatoes very often go to
vines and do not make potatoes.

Everett’s Seed Sweet Potatoes
CULTURE. — Put the potatoes in
hot beds in April, covering with
three inches of earth, and after
they begin to grow give plenty of
air on sunny days. In May or
June, set out 15 inches apart in
rows of 5 feet apart. The land
should be plowed shallow in order
to produce the short chunky potato
most largely in demand. Apply a
fertilizer, having only a small per-
centage of nitrogen and a large
amount of potash.

Beans
No crop responds more readily than Beans to good soil
and cultivation. A light, rich, well drained loam which
was manured for the previous crop is the most desirable.
If too rank manure is used it is apt to make the plant
run too much to vine.
Beans are very sensitive to both cold and wet and it is
useless to plant them before the ground has become dry
and warm. The largest returns will result from planting
in drills from two to three feet apart. Cover the seed one
and one-half to two inches deep and thin the young plants
three to six inches apart in the row. If planted in hills,
make the hills about two feet apart each way. For succes-
sion, plant at intervals of one to two weeks till midsummer.
The plants up to the time of blossoming should have
frequent shallow cultivation, but any mutilation of the roots
by cultivation after the plants come into bloom is likely to
cause the blooms to blast and so cut off the crop. Cultivation
should always be very shallow and it is useless to expect a
crop from a field so poorly prepared as to need deep stirring
after planting.
We have received unsatisfactory reports from our growers
regarding the returns from different contract beans. The
entire bean crops are going to be short, for many growers,
who generally grow Seed Beans, have planted White
Beans to sell on the market for eating purposes. Higher
prices are sure to prevail, for everything connected with
them are higher — fertilizer, labor, sacks and etc.
NOTICE. — The prices listed here are very cheap for the
quality of Seed we send out. Nothing but Selected Stock,
Hand Picked, can be had from EVERETT SEED CO.

CORN FIELD BEANS
These are much stronger growers than Bush Beans and
require good, strong stakes. They give a much greater
yield than bush beans, but being more tender should never
be planted before May in this section. Use poles about 8
feet long and set firmly four feet apart each way. Plant
five to eight beans in a hill, one and one-half to two inches
deep. When well started, thin to four plants in a hill.
They are sometimes planted in the hills of field corn.
One quart will plant 200 hills; one-half bushel an acre.

LIMA BEANS
Henderson’s Bush Lima smaiTVh0™ u™'
valuable on that account, and because of its extreme earli-
ness, hardiness and productiveness. The plants are with-
out runners but continue to grow and set pods until
stopped by frost. The leaves are small and very dark
green; flowers small, yellowish- white, borne in clusters
and often above the foliage. The pods are medium dark
green, short, about two and three-fourths inches, flat and
contain two to four beans which are of excellent quality
either green-shelled or dry. This is much used by can-
ners, as well as for home and market garden use. Seed

Fordhook Bush Lima
An improved dwarf lima
of the Kumerle type. It
is sometimes called Potato Bush I.ima. The plants are
vigorous and erect, bearing well above the ground. The
pods, which are produced in large clusters, are medium
green, about four and three-fourths inches long and each
contains three to five large beans of exceptionally fine
quality. It is much more productive than Kumerle and
matures earlier. Seed large, irregularly oval in shape,
very thick, white with greenish tinge. This sort is popu-

Broccoli
Closely related to cauliflower, from which it is supposed
to have come. Culture the same as for cauliflower, and in
the Southern States is a surer header. For those who are
deferred from growing cauliflower on account of high price
of seed we recommend a trial of Broccoli, as the two vege-
tables are similar. White Cape and Purple Cape both do
well, the only difference being in the color of the heads.
White Cape postpaid, pkt. 10c; l/2 oz. 20c; oz. 40c; lA\b. $1.50.
Brussels Sprouts
Highly esteemed plant of the cabbage family; adapted to
the South. “Sprouts” are miniature cabbages, growing close-
ly on the stalk of the plant, a small head about 1 inch in
diameter being formed at the base of each leaf. Is hardy
and lives through the winter in most of the South. Quality
and flavor improved by frost. Sow seed early in June or
August and transplant to open ground when about 6 inches
high. A most desirable vegetable and should be cultivated
exactly the same as cabbage. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 54 lb. 65c,
postpaid.
Cauliflower
CULTURE. — Should be planted in the South in very rich,
or well-manured soil. In the spring it should be planted in
this latitude very early, and really does better planted in
June and July for maturity during the fall months. Sow in
seed beds in the same manner as cabbage. Transplant when
4 to 5 inches high and give an abundance of water in dry
weather. Soil should be kept moist and cultivated thor-
oughly and often. In Florida and along the Gulf Coast
sow seed in September, October and November. In early
spring or late fall one ounce of seed will make 2,000 to
2,500 plants. For warm weather sowing double that quantity
of seed will be required. Early varieties, as Gilt Edge
and Snow Ball, mature in about 110 days. Late varieties in
140 to 150 days.

35c; lb. $1.25. Not prepaid, 10 lbs. $1.00 per lb.
Beets
The best results are obtained on a deep, rich, sandy loam.
If wanted very early, sow such sorts as Crosby’s Egyptian
and Detroit Dark Red in hotbeds and transplant, cutting
off the outer leaves. For general crop sow in freshly pre-
pared soil as soon as the ground will permit, in rows
eighteen inches apart covering about an inch deep and
pressing the soil firmly over the seed. When the plants
are well established thin four to six inches apart in the row.
For winter use the turnip varieties may be sown in June
or July so as to mature late in the season. The roots are
stored in a cellar and covered with sand to prevent wilting,
or they may be kept outdoors in pits such as are used for
apples and potatoes. One ounce will sow 100 feet of
drill; three to four pounds per acre.
Everett’s Early Blood Turnip Beet
(The finest Beet that grows.) Our experience with this
strain has proven it to be the Best Extra Early Deep

extra early maturing, uniform shape and beautiful deep
crimson color makes it popular with everyone. The rows
may be grown close together. Stems and vines dark red,
blades green. Roots are globular and peculiarly smooth;
color is of blood red; very crisp, tender, fine-grained and
sweet, remaining so for a long time. We believe this
excellent strain will produce a crop more uniform in shape,
color and quality than any other beet ever placed on the

Cabbage
For many years cabbage seed has been a leading specialty with us. Our cabbage seeds are all grown from approved
stock seeds which are largely of our own development on our Seed Farm; they are all grown under our personal inspection
and supervision. We believe there is no seed that is more reliable, nor any that can be more implicitly depended upon
to give planters uniformly satisfactory results.
The requisites for complete success with cabbage are: First, good seed. In this crop the quality of the seed used is of
the greatest importance. No satisfactory results can possibly be obtained when poor seed is planted. Second, rich, well
prepared ground. A heavy, moist and rich loam is most suitable. Third, frequent and thorough cultivation. The ground
should be highly manured and worked deep. Cabbage is grown all over the country and specific directions regarding the
time and methods of planting applicable to all localities cannot be given. In general, north of the 40th parallel the early
sorts should be sown very early in hotbeds, hardened off by gradually exposing them to the night air and transplanted as
early as the ground is in good condition, setting eighteen to thirty-six inches apart, according to size of variety. South of
the 40th parallel sow about the middle of September, or later according to latitude, transplanting into eold-frames if neces-
sary to keep through winter and setting in open ground as early as possible in the spring.
The late autumn and winter varieties may be sown from the middle to the last of spring and transplanted when four to
six inches high. If the weather and soil are dry the late sowings should be shaded and watered in Order to hasten germina-
tion, but it is important that the plants should not be shaded or crowded in the seed-bed, or they will run up weak and
dender and will not endure transplanting well. Cabbage should be hoed every week and the ground stirred as they advance
in growth, drawing up a little earth to the plants each time until they begin to head, when they should be thoroughly cul-
tivated and left to mature. Loosening the roots will sometimes retard the bursting of full grown heads.
A great many of the varieties of cabbages are simply strains rather than distinct sorts and are really the same as some
older and better known kinds. We are confident that every good quality can be found in a greater degree in the varieties
we offer than in any other kinds.

ibbage Plants
Our plants are grown on the island along the coast of
South Carolina, where the soil and weather conditions are
just suited for growing tough, hardy cabbage plants for
winter and early spring plantings.
THEY ARE absolutely FROST-PROOF and will stand all
weather conditions — without injure up to 10 degree above
Zero.
The top of the plants does not grow much until spring, but
the roots get their growth through winter. This enables
you to get cabbage on the market — by setting our frost-
proof plants, two weeks earlier than if you use<T your home-
grown plants, or those grown anywhere else other than the
Carolina section.

CULTURE.— This vegetable requires a deep, rich, light,
sandy soil, well-manured. If the ground is not of this quality,
it should be dug deep and well broken the year previous. If for
field culture, the ground should be subsoiled, as in all shallow
or hard soils the roots fork or spread in a lateral direction, in-
juring both their size and quality. Sow early in spring, in
shallow drills, half an inch deep and nine to twelve inches
apart, which admits of the hoe being made use of in thinning
out the crop and clearing out the weeds. As soon as the plants
are up and can be distinctly observed in the rows, take a
3-inch hoe and thin them out to two or three inches apart.

Sweet or Table Corn
A rich, warm, alluvial soil is the best, but excellent
sweet corn can be raised on any good, ordinary soil, if it
is deeply and thoroughly worked before planting. In the
South sweet corn may be plarited as early as can be done
without risking great loss from frosts or from rotting of the
seed in the soil, but with the main crop varieties especially,
it is well to wait until the ground has become warm as
the sweeter varieties are more sensitive to cold and wet
than field corn or varieties of inferior quality.
If planted in rows, make the rows three to four feet apart,
according to the vigor of growth of the variety, and place
the seed twelve to sixteen inches apart in the rows, cover-
ing one inch deep with fine soil firmly pressed down.
If planted in hills make the hills for the early varieties
three feet apart each way and plant four to six kernels to
the hill. For the later sorts the hills should be three and
one-half to four feet apart each way. Hoe frequently and
when six inches high thin so as to leave three or four
plants in the hill. Give frequent and thorough but shallow
cultivation until the tassels appear.

Cucumber
This is one of the vegetables that can be grown to perfection by
iny one who can control a few square yards of reasonably good
ioil that is fully exposed to the sun. Every family should be
supplied from its own garden, since the fruit is so much better
vhen gathered fresh from the vines as desired for use than it is
in the more or less wilted condition in which it is found on the
narket. In order to obtain the largest yield of cucumbers, the soil
should be well enriched with well-rotted manure, but an abundance
>f good fruit can be raised on any rich garden soil. Plant the seed
lot over an inch deep in hills four to six feet apart each way,
dropping fifteen to twenty seeds in a hill. After the plants begin
.o crowd and danger from the striped beetle is pretty well over,
chin to three plants to the hill. Give frequent but shallow culti-
vation until the plants make runners so long that this is impractic-
able. In field culture, plow furrows four feet apart and similar
mes at right angles to the first. At each intersection drop a shovel-
ful or more of well-rotted manure which should be well mixed with
he soil. Many growers omit every sixth or eighth row, thus form-
ing paths for the distribution of manure and gathering the fruit.
In many sections, where earliness is very important, market gar-
deners start plants in boxes made like the ordinary berry box, but
.vithout the raised bottom. The boxes are set in hotbeds or cold-
frames, filled with rich, friable soil and the seed planted. When
danger of frost is over, the plants are set in the open ground, the
joxes being cut away, so that the roots are not disturbed at all.
Pick the fruit as soon as it is large enough and before it begins
o ripen, as the vines will cease setting fruit as soon as any seed
>egins to mature. In gathering for pickles, cut the stem instead
if pulling the fruit off and be careful not to mar the fruit in any
vay, for if the skin be broken the pickles will not keep so well.

Japanese Climbing Cucumber ,™;s
and originally came from Japan. The young plants are bushy but
as soon as they become well established, begin to climb and may
be grown on fences, poles or trellises. The vines are of healthy,
vigorous growth and cling so tightly that they are not prostrated
by heavy storms of wind or rain. They begin to bear early and
continue to produce fruit throughout the season. The fruit is from
12 to 15 inches long and produces but very few seeds, which

Lettuce
CULTURE. — Lettuce is easy to grow,
but requires rich, moist soil, clean and
thorough cultivation and plenty of water
to give it that quick-growth on which de-
pends its tenderness and flavor. They may
be had at all seasons of the year. The
earliest sowings should be made in a hot-
bed or in boxes indoors, hardened off and
set out 8 to 12 inches apart in 18-inch rows.
For a succession sow every three weeks.
Sowings may be made in open ground early
in the spring and the plants thinned out.
For fall use, sow in July and August. Fall
sowings of hardy kinds should be made in
September; protect with straw or litter and
they will head up in the spring, or trans-
plant 9 inches apart under glass or can-
vas to head up in the winter. One ounce
will produce about 1,500 plants; 3 pounds
will make plants enough for an acre.

The “Honey Dew” Muskmelon ™ wVst
melon of them all, and has created a sensation through-
out the entire United States. During 1915 these melons
sold as high as $2.00 apiece, and the past season enormous
prices were paid for solid carloads of them out of Colorado
and California. This melon is unlike any other melon
ever originated. It is really supreme among melons of
its size for flavor, meatiness, keeping qualities, as a
grower, and in its ability to capture the whole small melon
market. Rind, when matured, is a greenish yellow. Abso-
lutely smooth, with no netting at all. It is almost round
(about 9 to 10 inches) in form. The surface is more or less
dotted with little roughness. The rind is thin, but tough
and firm, making it a splendid shipper. The meat is a
beautiful emerald green and sweetly aromatic. It is the
meatiest melon we have ever seen, for the rind runs from
3-16 to 1)4 inch thick, according to the ripeness. This
melon has captured all the large market of this country.
It is unquestionably one of the best commercial melons you
can plant, and for home use it is absolutely un-
beatable in every respect. Once you have tasted
a HONEY DEW, you want no other melon. We
have been fortunate in securing a few hundred
pounds of the truly genuine seed. Postpaid,

VARIETY. SEE PAGE 7.
Genuine Rocky Ford.
After danger of frost is past, the ground being warm and
in good condition, plant in rich soil; preferably sandy loam,
in hills about four to six feet apart according to the vigof
of the variety. Put ten or twelve seeds in a hill, covering
with about an inch of fine soil firmly pressed down. When
the plants begin to crowd and the striped beetles are pretty
well gone thin to four of the most vigorous plants in a hill.
Give frequent but shallow cultivation, until the plants
make runners so long that this is impracticable. Rich earth
for the young plants is far better than manure, but if the
latter must be used, see that it is well rotted and thor-
oughly mixed with the soil.
The quality of all varieties of Muskmelons is largely de-
pendent upon condition of growth and ripening. Unhealthy
vines or unfavorable weather produces fruit of comparatively
poor flavor.
The plants are liable to attack from the striped beetles
which are so numerous in some cases as to destroy them.
The beetles may be kept off by frequent dusting with air-
slacked lime, soot or sifted ashes diluted with fine road
earth. Care should be taken not to use too much of any of
the above materials or the vines will be injured. Should
even the diluted material prove injurious to the vine, use
road earth only, as frequent dusting with this alone will
often prove effective especially if a wind is blowing. After
the plants have four to six leaves it is considered a safe-
guard against blight to spray with Bordeaux Mixture at in-
tervals of about ten days, adding either Paris green or ar-
senate of lead for the eating insects.

Onions
HOW TO RAISE ONIONS FOR THE MARKET
THE SOIL. — We prefer a soft, dark sandy loam, not too
fine. This is much better if it has been cultivated with
hoed crops, kept clean from weeds and well manured for
two years previous, because if a sufficient quantity of ma-
nure to raise an ordinary soil to a proper degree of fertility
is applied at once, it is likely to make the onions soft. The
same result will follow if we sow on rank mucky ground or
on that which is too wet and it is impossible to raise a large
or profitable crop on stiff clay, very light sand or gravel.
PREPARATION. — Onions respond well to very liberal ma-
nuring. As much as forty loads of stock manure well com-
posted or one ton of high grade commercial fertilizer per
acre may be applied to good advantage. The stock manure
should be spread and worked into the top soil in the fall
but if commercial fertilizer is used it should be distributed
and thoroughly worked into the top soil after plowing in the
spring. A liberal use of potash is very beneficial to the crop
especially when raw manure is used or if the soil is rank
and mucky, as potash reduces the tendency to scallions or
coarse necked bulbs. The top soil should be cleared of
everything that will interfere with the best possible work
with drill and wheel hoe. The whole ploughed soil should be
well pulverized and worked with tools that leave the sur
face smooth and compact.
SOWING THE SEED. — This should be done as soon as tht
ground can be made ready and can be done best by a hand
seed drill. This should be carefully adjusted to sow the de-
sired quantity of seed about one-half inch deep. The quan-
tity needed will vary with the soil, the seed used and the
kind of onions desired. Thin seeding gives much larger
onions than thick seeding. Four or five pounds per acre is
the usual quantity needed to grow large onions. We prefer
a drill that sows a very close row.
CULTIVATION.— As soon as the young plants can be
seen in the rows give a shallow working either with rake
or some other tool that pulverizes well the whole top soil.
Many onion growers consider about one inch apart as a
Eerfect stand. Work the crop again in a few days with a
oe or tool that cuts the ground over, this time as closely as
is possible to the row without injury to the young plants;
follow as quickly as possible with a thorough hand weeding
keeping in mind that a very small weed today is a large
one next week. The ground should be cultivated once a
week if possible and any remaining weeds pulled out by
hand every two weeks. For best results these operations
should be continued until the crop occupies the ground.
GATHERING. — As soon as the tops die and fall the bulbs
may be pulled and raked into small open windrows, turning
every few days with a rake. At convenience cut off the tops
half an inch to an inch from the bulbs and very soon after-
ward the bulbs may be picked up in crates and piled loose
under cover. The large onion growers use a puller attach-
ment to the wheel hoe that runs under the row of onions
and lifts the bulbs. Where help can be procured readily we
find it much cheaper to top the onions with a rough edged
case knife and rake away the tops before pulling.
It will not do to store onions in large piles or masses, par-
ticularly in warm weather, or if they are the least moist,
but if perfectly dry when gathered and stored in crates,
they can be kept in fine condition till spring. The best way
is to keep them dry, giving bottom ventilation if possible,
and at a uniform temperature of about 32 to 34 degrees
Fahrenheit.

CULTURE.— Large Onions from Seed.— To grow
large onions from seed the first year, sow in January
or February in hot-bed or in the open ground later,
and when the weather opens and the plants are the
size of a goose quill, transplant 4 or 5 inches apart in
12 to 18-inch rows. Transplanting always increases
the yield, sometimes doubles the yield. 5 to 6 pounds
will plant an acre.

FOR SPRING AND FALL PLANTING.
This well-known vegetable is very useful for flavoring
soups and stews and for garnishing. The green leaves
are used for flavoring or they may be dried crisp, rubbed
to powder and kept in bottles until needed.
Parsley succeeds the best on rich, mellow soil. The seed
is even slower than parsnip in germinating and should be
sown as early as possible in the spring, in drills one to two
feet apart covering not more than one-half inch with fine
soil firmly pressed down. When the plants are well up
thin eight to twelve inches apart in the row. When the
plants of the curled varieties are about three inches high
cut off all the leaves; the plant will then start a new
growth of leaves which will be brighter and better curled
and later, if these turn dull or brown they can be cut in
the same way; every cutting will result in improvement.

EVERETT SEED COMPANY, ATLANTA, GA.
Everett’s Select Peas
For early peas the soil should be light and warm, but for general crop a
moderately heavy soil is better. Fresh manure and very rich or wet mucky soil
should be avoided, as they cause a rank growth of vine at the cost of the
quality of the peas, furthermore such soil is often the cause of early sorts ma-
turing unevenly.
Sow as early as possible a few of some early variety in warm, quick soil,
prepared the fall before, planting in double rows six to eight inches apart and
two and one-half to four feet between the double rows. The general crop can
be delayed until later, but we have met with better success from sowing all the
varieties comparatively early, depending for succession upon selecting sorts that
follow each other in maturity.
The peas will give quicker returns if covered only one inch deep and where
earliness is most important they may be treated in that way. Larger pods and
more of them will be produced if the seed be planted in trenches three to six
inches deep and covered with only one or two inches of soil. When the plants
are five or six inches high fill the trench level with the surface. This will secure
deep rooting, prevent mildew and prolong the bearing season. If the peas be
covered to the full depth at first, or if water be allowed to stand in the trenches
they will not germinate or grow well.
The wrinkled varieties are more sensitive to cold wet weather than the
smooth seeded sorts but are of superior quality. All varieties growing more
than one and one-half feet do better if staked up or bushed when four to six
inches high. This support is usually given by sharpened branches of trees set
between the double rows. The crop should be gathered as fast as it is fit for use
If even a few pods begin to ripen, not only will new pods cease to form, but
those partly advanced will stop growing.

The entire crops of Peppers are almost a complete failure, and we
will not have any seed at all of some Sweet varieties. Kindly advise
if you want us to substitute the next best variety, providing we are
out of the one you wanted. We do not like to do this, but, under the
present conditions, through this season we will all try and do the
best we can.
CULTURE. — Peppers are most largely used for seasoning meat and vege-
table dishes as well as for salads and mangoes. They are used also for mak-
ing chow chow and chili sauce.
The culture is the same as for egg plant and the plants need quite as
much heat to perfect them. Sow seed early in hotbed, or about middle of
spring in open seed bed, the soil being light and warm. When three inches
high transplant in rows about two and one-half feet apart and two feet apart
in the row. Cultivate and keep free from weeds. Guano, hen dung, or any
other bird manure hoed into the surface soil when the plants are about six
inches high, will undoubtedly increase the product.

Pumpkin
Pumpkins are less sensitive than melons or cucumbers to
unfavorable conditions of soil and climate but are culti-
vated the same, though on a larger scale. They are raised
between hills of corn or in fields by themselves, but more
properly belong to the farm than the garden as they readily
mix with and injure the quality of the finer squash. After
danger of frost is over plant the seed in hills eight to ten
feet apart each way, dropping about a dozen seeds in a hill.
The soil should be made as rich as possible. If planted with
corn two or three seeds a rod apart each way will be suffi-
cient. .When danger from bugs is past, thin to three plants
to a hill.

“Big Jumbo'
(French Grown Seed. Superior to all Others)
CULTURE. — This is a vegetable relished by most every-
one, especially so when they are young and tender. You
should plant every 10 days for succession, from early spring
on. By so doing you will be supplied with young, tender
roots throughout the season. Never plant all at one time
for they get pithy. Their tenderness depends on the rapidity
of their growth. The soil should therefore be light, rich
and finely pulverized. Can be sown broadcast or in rows,
but thin out so as to allow them room to make root. Sow 1
ounce to 50 feet of rows or 8 to 10 pounds per acre.

CULTURE. — Sow in March or April in rich, light, deeply-
worked soil, in rows 18 inches apart, and thin out to 4 to 6
inches. Do not use coarse or fresh manure, it will make the
roots ill-shaped and uneven. Cultivate often to keep down
weeds. Perfectly hardy and may remain out all winter.
Can also be sown in May and June, provided we get sea-

Spinach
WINTER GREENS.
CULTURE. — Our Spinach seed can not be surpassed by
any. We import our stock from grower, and by this means
we not only know the grade of seed we get, but that they
are new crop and you can be assured of a high germination
when you buy from us. For winter greens its quality is
unequalled for spring use; sow during January, February
and March. It germinates well in cold weather; just so the
ground is not frozen. Spinach is growing more popular
every year throughout the South. Sow 1 ounce to 100 feet
of drill; 12 to 15 pounds to the acre.
ArflO-Otl ^ninarll This is,a rePeater to every mar-

duces large, thick leaves of dark green color. Hardiest
of all varieties, standing weather conditions better than
others. Crop failure.
CoTmv T ooTrorl This sort is known also as Blooms-
OdVUy LcdVcU dale and as Norfolk Savoy Leaved.
It is a very early variety and one of the best to plant
in autumn for early spring use. The plant is of upright
growth, with thick, glossy, dark green leaves of medium
size, pointed but quite broad, and crumpled or blistered
like those of Savoy cabbage. It is hardy and grows rapid-
ly to a suitable size for use, but runs to seed quickly in
warm weather. Seed round. This spinach is suitable for
the home garden and is much used by Southern truckers.

New Zealand
(Tetragonia expansa) Unlike true
spinach in type and in that it thrives
during hot weather and in any soil rich or poor. The
tender shoots are of good quality and may be cut through-
out the summer. The plant becomes very large and spread-
ing. The leaves are comparatively small, broad and
pointed. Plant three or four seeds in hills two feet apart
each way. Germination of the seed can be hastened by
soaking in warm water twenty-four hours. Postpaid, pkt.
5c; oz. 15c; Ya lb. 50c; lb. $1.75.
Squash
(Summer or Bush Squashes)
never be planted until the
ground gets warm and there is
no danger of frost. Prepare your
ground deeply, putting in plenty
of well-rotted manure in each
hill, well worked into the soil.
For the best varieties hills
should be 3 to 4 feet each way.
Put 8 to 10 seed to the hill,
thinning out when tough leaves
form to three of the strongest
plants. Cover seed about 1
inch. One ounce of seed to 25
hills; 2 to 3 pounds to the acre.
Early White Bush
or Patty-Pan
This squash is earlier than
any other variety of dwarf
habit and very productive;
grows in a bush form, and oc-
cupies less room on the
ground than any other sort; it
is the variety that is grown
the most extensively for mar-
ket and shipping purposes.
Summer squashes should al-
ways be used when young and

Everett’s High-Grade Tomatoes
CULTURE. — Six or eight weeks before frost is over sow
in hot-beds, in pots or shallow boxes in the house and
when they have made four leaves transplant in the beds to
promote root growth. Expose as much as possible to harden
them so that when set out on the open ground, they will
be strong and stocky, but do not allow the growth to be
checked. Transplant 3 to 4 feet apart in a light, warm soil,
and cultivate as long as possible. When transplanted, pud-
dle the plants and shade them a few days until they are
well rooted. The earliest fruits may be had by growing in
pots, shifting to larger pots as they become filled with
roots. Earliness may also be promoted by pinching off all
the branches except the one most thrifty and tying this and
the main stem to stakes.
n •« o o (Bright Red) The Earliana is
« JZrfd.lild.Ila. probably more largely grown for
the earliest market than any other tomato. The originators
claim that it is the earliest of all the large smooth, bright
red varieties. In the tomato growing section of New
Jersey, which practically controls the Eastern markets,
it is grown almost exclusively. It is of very handsome
shape, quite solid, of fine quality. Fruiting season only
lasts about four weeks, so that if marketed early the
crop may be sold before the markets are glutted with the
later kinds. Postpaid, pkt. 5c; 54 oz. 15c; oz. 25c; 54 lb.

larger size and sweeter flavor. It is bright red or scar-
let; in quality and handsome appearance like the Match-
less, but distinctly earlier. A particular advantage is its
hardy, vigorous and robust growth, admitting of earlier
setting in the fieldf as it is claimed that it withstands
cool weather and blight where more tender sorts would be
injured. Postpaid, pkt. 5c; 54 oz. 15c; oz. 25c; 54 lb. 75c;

the stem. It is round, slightly flattened at stem end, but
thicker through than most tomatoes. Its greatest char-
acteristic is its remarkable uniformity of size and smooth-
ness; no rough fruits. Postpaid, pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; 54 lb.

productive — the plants usually have many short joints at
which large clusters of 3 to 7 fruits are almost invariably
formed, so that it can be truthfully said that the vines
are literally loaded with fruit. A remarkably good keeper,

Turnip and Rutabaga
CULTURE.— Spring sowings should be made as early as
possible, so that the turnips may make their size before hot
weather, otherwise they will become tough and bitter.
For spring sowings there is nothing equal to the Milans, the
Purple Top Globes, Purple Top Strapleaved, Early Strap-
leaf White Globe and White Flat Dutch. For the regular

crop, sow the early kinds in July and August, the later sorts
during August, and the salad varieties during August or
September. Sow either broadcast or in drills 2 feet apart,
and when well up, thin out to prevent overcrowding. Ruta-
bagas should be sown in July or early in August and
earthed up as they grow.
To Keep for Winter: Store the roots in a cool cellar and
cover with sand, or they may be put into pits or kilns out-
side. Select a well-drained situation on which to pile the
turnips, cover them with a few inches of straw and then
sufficient earth to keep out frost. Thus protected, they will
keep far into the winter.
One ounce sows 100 feet of drill; V/z lbs. sows one acre in
drills; 2 lbs. one acre broadcast; sow salad varieties 3 lbs.

Everett’s Seed Corn — Extra Selected
SOME FACTS ABOUT SEED CORN.
You know yourself that it is certainly a hard job to Breed and Select
the right kind of seed corn. To begin with, you must have purebred stock,
then it must be grown away from all other kinds, for it is very easily
mixed. Probably it would not show up the first season but it would the
next, regardless of how much pains you took in the selecting.
We have taken special pains to see that the corn we sell will not only
make what it is supposed to, but yield more than most any corn, for it has
been bred up from good to better, and from better to best. We are going
to try and make it better every year — if this be possible. You want the
corn that makes the largest yield per acre.
Everett’s Champion Prolific Corn II™6 Iwn?’8 BistteS
and trials on many varieties “Everett’s Champion Prolific” has proven su-
perior in every case. Makes from 5 to 7 ears per stalk and the grain fills
out over the end of the ear, giving you absolutely no waste. Stalks are
tall and very stout, resisting storms blowing it down, and makes a fine
silage variety. We will have the finest stock this season we have ever
had and hope to supply the demand of our customers this season; this we
have never done before for the demand has always exceeded our supply.

The Best Seed Oats
Oats sown in the spring should be put in just as soon as
practicable, for best results, and should be sown thicker
than fall seeding. Burt, or Ninety-Day Oats still remain
very popular, also the Fulghum is gaming in popularity
each year on account of it producing much larger stalks
than the Burt, and is almost as early. Plant from three to
four bushels per acre for spring oats; do not stool out as
much as fall oats.
Burt or Ninety-Day Oats 2*
and surest cropping of spring oats. For a spring oat for
seeding in March and April, the Burt is unquestionably
the best and surest yielding of spring oats; the advan-
tages claimed for it being that it is earlier to mature,
free from rust, healthy, clean and vigorous growth of
straw, and makes a remarkable good yield of clean, bright,

Appier Oats
The Appier Oat is equally well
adapted for sowing both in the spring
and the fall, but when put in the spring, should be sown
before the middle of March. It makes a strong, quick-
growing oat, bunchy heads, heavy grain. While originat-
ing in the State of Georgia, this oat has been grown to a
considerable extent both in this section and in other
Southern States, and has proved to be one of the best and
most reliable of rust-proof oats for the South. Price,

SPELTZ or EMMER
This grain is of comparative recent introduction in this
country. It is claimed by some to be the primitive wheat,
the kind grown by the ancients. It resembles rye in the
habit of growth, is early, will stand drought, yields well,
makes a fine pasture or hay. The grain resembles wheat,
but has a husk like barley. Sow in the spring broadcast or
drill at YA to 2 bushels to the acre. Bushel is forty pounds.

“Esco” Trade-Mark Brand Seeds
Are best qualities obtainable, and our customers can rely
on them being tested for germination and absolutely free
from any noxious weeds.
Grass and Clovers of all kinds are being
more generally sown, for hay, pasturage and
soil-improving crops, than any other legume
crops or other grasses and forage crops. Clover
not only makes fine hay, but improves your
land to such an extent it more than pays for
itself twice in fertilizer cost the following
year. Lime is very necessary for success with
Clovers; an application of from one to two
thousand pounds will add much to its growth.
Seeding Grasses and Clover
Seeds
The best time in the spring is from the mid-
dle of February to the middle of April. A
good, firm seed-bed is of prime importance,
and, to secure this, the ground should be well
and deeply plowed some time previous to seed-
ing if possible. It should then be harrowed
and reharrowed several times, so as to put
it in first-class condition. After the ground is
in good tilth, the seed should be carefully
sown, either by hand or using the Cahoon or
Cyclone Broadcast Seed Sowers, and then
cover by rolling, or, if a roller is not avail-
able, by a light or brush-drawn harrow. Roll-
ing is, however, preferable, as it firms the
soils and does not cover the seed too deep. Care should be
taken not to cover the seed more than about an average of
half an inch deep. Our Standard Bone Meal is the best fer-
tilizer you can apply for grass and clover, as they are im-
mediate and also lasting in their effect.
Grass and clover seeds can be satisfactorily sown with
spring oats or other grain crops in the spring, but when
sown in this way, the oats or other grain should not be sown
as thickly as ordinarily, and it is better to cut the grain
crops before they are fully matured, in order to give grass
crops full chance for development.
Sowing Grass and Clover Seeds in the Spring on Grain
Which was Sown Last Fall. — Grass and clover seeds can be
satisfactorily sown in the spring on fall-sown grain crops,
and the gram crops are materially benefited by the prepara-
tion necessary for covering the grass seed. The best method
is to run a harrow over the wheat, oats or other grain crop,
then sow the seed, and then run the harrow crosswise over
the field, so as to give slight covering. This harrowing and
cross-harrowing does not injure the grain crops, but really
benefits them, acting as a cultivation for these crops. A
good firm seed-bed is also secured for the grass and clover
seeds, our experience with grass and clover sown in this
way has been very satisfactory, both as regards increased
grain crops and a good stand of the grass. A top dressing
of 200 to 300 lbs. of fertilizer to the acre can be applied at
the same time the grass is sown, very beneficially.
Fall Seeding of Grass and Clover Seeds.— September is the
best month for seeding grasses and clover in the fall, al-
though they can be safely put in up to the middle of Octo-
ber. If after that time, it is better to defer sowing
clover until the spring, although Orchard Grass, Tall Mea-
dow Oat Grass, Red Top or Herds Grass, Timothy and simi-
lar grasses can be satisfactorily put in up to the first of
November in the eastern part of the Carolinas and further
South.

“ESCO” EVERGREEN LAWN
GRASS
WILL GIVE YOU A PERMANENT LAWN THE EN-
TIRE YEAR, WITH THE PROPER ATTENTION AND
SEEDING.
SOWING THE SEEDS. — Thick seeding always gives best
results. Lawn grass seed should be sown after the soil is
raked fine, at the rate of 40 to 50 lbs. to the acre, or for
small yards, one quart for every three hundred square feet
(12x25). The seed should be carefully and evenly sown,
and lightly raked in, and afterwards, provided the soil is
not wet, rolled or made firm by batting down with the
back of a spade.
Our mixture contains only the grasses best suited for
this climate, and only those which have been tried out and
proven to be the best. Great trouble has been had in getting
the right kind of grasses to stand green all the year round.
This mixture has been proven to be the best by test, here in
Atlanta, on lawns where most other grasses have died after
one season. Plant at the rate of 40 lbs. per acre or 1 lb.
to every 300 square feet. Price postpaid, lb. 35c; 4 lbs. $1.25.
Not prepaid, bushel (14 lbs.) $3.75 ; 100-lb. lots, $2&(K).

Timothy.
Ttormtulo firacc Whlle looked upon by many as a
lliUCla. \jia.oo pest, it is really one of our most
valuable grass plants for the South and in the lower
South especially. It is the only sure pasture grass for
sandy soils; grows on all kinds of soil from heaviest clay
to the lightest sand and furnishes abundant pasture. No
other grass will give you so great returns with as little
fertilizer and care, and Bermuda withstands drought and
scorching summer sun better than any other variety. Seed
should be sown at the rate of 5 or 6 pounds per acre be-
tween March 1st and June 1st. Seed will not germinate
when ground is cold. Under favorable conditions it re-
quires from 20 to 30 days to germinate. Postpaid, lb. 60c;

Kentucky Blue Grass i«”c5“tF.2;£
for Its Fine Horses and Cattle and Prosperous Fanning
Country. Kentucky Blue Grass is one of the richest and
most nutritious of pasturage grasses, and should be large-
ly used in all pasturage mixtures, except on very light or
sandy soils. For fall, winter and spring it makes the
very best of pasturage, and, mixed with other grasses
like Herd’s Grass, or Red Top and Meadow Fescue, will
give an excellent all-the-year-round pasturage. Land well
set in Blue Grass lasts longer than other grasses. In
fact, a good Blue Grass pasture is considered to improve
from year to year, and on land where it is well adapted,
rarely ever requires re-seeding. Kentucky Blue Grass can
be sown either in the spring or fall. It grows rather
slowly at first, but soon forms a compact turf, making a
fine permanent pasturage when once established. A thick,
well-set sod of Bine Grass is usually considered an ideal
pasturage, both for nutritious qualities and yield, and
wherever Blue Grass succeeds it should be ' one of the
principal constituents of all pasturage mixtures. Blue
Grass being a little slower to become well set than other
grasses; it is also a good plan to sow some Perennial Rye
Grass with it, when sowing in the fall. It should be
sown at the rate of 40 to 50 pounds per acre. Postpaid,
lb. 35c ; 5 lbs. $1.50. Not prepaid, bushel (14 lbs.) $3.50.
Perennial (or English Rye) fn g,uickvge°rwy
early maturing grass, which furnishes good grazing and
hay, and does very well in mixtures with grasses like
Orchard and Tall Meadow Oat. It makes the quickest
growth of any of the grasses, and for a grass to make a
quick, leafy sod, will give the most satisfactory results.
When sown by itself, sow 30 pounds per acre, either in
the spring or fall. Fall seeding, however, gives best re-
sults. Postpaid, lb. 25c; 5 lbs. $1.00. Not prepaid, bushel
(14 lbs.) $2.00.
Timnthv ^ i?rass suitable only for the northern
J-AiHULliy part 0f the South, especially hill and
mountain districts. It is the standard hay crop in the
North and makes one of the most popular, nutritious, and
salable of hay grasses. It does not make such good pas-
turage, but the hay crop is great where it is well adapted;
on clay or heavy loams, lowlands, or in mountain districts,
although it will do well on any good, stiff, loamy soil,
provided moisture is abundant. “Red Top or Herd’s Grass”
and “Meadow Fescue” mature at the same time as Tim-
othy and do well in mixtures with the Timothy. They
will increase the yield of hay and will largely increase
the yield and value of pasturage. Postpaid, lb. 25c; 5
lbs. $1.00. Not prepaid, 15c lb.
Red Top or Herd’s Grass tThee Atlantic1 c?a^'
Red Top or Herd’s Grass is one of the best and most sat-
isfactory grasses all through the South. It is well
adapted to all soils and situations, succeeding well on
light, sandy soils, as well as stiff upland and low ground,
and it really succeeds better in moist situations than al-
most any other grass. After once being established, it
thickens and improves year by year, taking possession of
the land and increasing in yield and quantity each suc-
cessive year. Red Top or Herd’s Grass is really one of
the most valuable of all grasses for the South, and it
should be a large constituent part of all mixtures intended
for permanent hay or pasture. It seems indigenous to
nearly all our Southern soils and while it lasts a long
time and spreads rapidly, it is easily eradicated in case
it is desired to put the land in cultivated crops. It makes
excellent pasturage and good crops of fine quality hay.
It is rather late in starting in the spring and matures its
crops at the same time as Timothy. Is excellently adapted
for seeding with Timothy for hay, and furnishes excellent
pasturage afterward. When it gets well established it
spreads and will gradually supplant other grasses. Red
Top or Herds Grass is also one of the best grasses for
hillsides or lands likely to wash. Our Fancy Clean Red
Top is of extra fine quality, and carefully cleaned for im-
purities. It requires from 8 to 10 pounds to seed an acre
of the Fancy Cleaned seed. When sowing with Timothy,
sow 6 pounds of the Fancy Cleaned seed and 8 pounds of
Timothy per acre. It can be sown either in the spring or
fall. Red Top or Herd’s Grass has turned out a more
plentiful crop the past season than for several years past,
enabling the seed to be sold this year at reasonable prices.
This is a great boon to our farm-operators, as we really
regard Red Top or Herd’s Grass as one of the best of all
grasses for use throughout the Southern States. Postpaid,

Italian Rye Grass ptn
planting, but can also be planted in the
spring. When sown in the fall, this variety
matures very early, in latter May, and two
or three more cuttings can be made that sum-
mer and fall. It is one of the quickest grow-
ing of all grasses, has very tender stalks and
leaves, and in addition, abundant growth. This
grass is an annual, so never becomes a pest.
Many plant this grass by itself, but it is also
very valuable when planted in mixtures. In
Bermuda and other lawns it is valuable during
the winter. When the other grasses are dead
or dormant the Italian comes up and keeps
your lawn green. Postpaid, lb. 25c; 5 lbs. $1.00.
Not postpaid, bushel (15 lbs.) $2.00.
Tall Meadow Oat Grass
(Also called Evergreen Grass.) One of the
most vauable hay and pasturage grasses for
the South. Early maturing, large yielding and
valuable in combination with orchard grass, both for hay
and grazing. This grass is increasing in popularity where-
ever it is grown. It seems to make more leafage and
grazing and a larger yield of hay, and to keep green
longer, both during the winter and summer, than other
grasses. It is especially desirable and adaptable to the
South. It withstands the heat and drought of mid-sum-
mer and cold of winter, starts very early in the spring,
and continues to give good grazing until late in the fall.
For hay it can be cut twice in a season. Its nutritive
qualities are first-class. It ripens at the same time as
Orchard Grass, and gives the very best results sown with
it and Red Glover. For hay it should be cut while in
bloom. Tall Meadow Oat Grass is best adapted for good
loamy uplands, but gives excellent results on nearly all
soils, and better results than any other grass on light,
medium or sandy soils. Farmers who have been sowing
this grass for years are especially well pleased with the
returns from it, and are sowing constantly increasing
acreage each year. When sown by itself, sow at the rate
of two to three bushels per acre, either in the spring or
fall. Sown with Orchard Grass and Rd Clover, the quan-
tities usually sown are one bushel (11 lbs.) Tall Meadow
Oat Grass, one bushel (14 lbs.) Orchard Grass, and 8 lbs.
Red Glover. The addition of 6 or 7 pounds Fancy Glean
Red Top or Herd’s Grass seed to the acre in this mixture
increases the aftermath and the vield of grazing. This
combination is excellent and one that has given the most
satisfactory results. Postpaid, lb. 25c; 5 lbs. $1.10. Not
prepaid, bushel $2.80.
Meadow Fescue or Randall Grass
(Festuca Pratensis.) Meadow Fescue is particularly well
adapted to our Piedmont and mountainous districts, and
also gives excellent results on good loamy or heavy soils
all through the South. Tt is a splendid spring and sum-
mer grass, and makes more and thicker leafage than even
Orchard and Tall Meadow Oat Gross. Tt is also especially
useful for fall and winter pasturage, as it remains green
throughout the winter. Sow either in the spring or fall,
at the rate of two bushels to the acre, if sown by itself.
When sown with Red Top and Timothy, sow one bushel
(14 lbs.) Meadow Fescue, 5 lbs. Fancy Glean Red Top and
6 lbs. Timothy per acre. Sown for a grazing mixture with
Orchard and Tall Meadow Oat Grass, add half a bushel
each of these two grasses. Postpaid, lb. 25c; 5 lbs. $1.15.
Not prepaid, bushel (14 lbs.) $2.50. Subject to change.

Orchard Oracc (Dactylis glomerata.) Orchard
^ 1 Liaai u vJiaoo Grass is a very vigorous grower,
and yields large crops of excellent and most nutritious
hay, and will last for years in increasing value with
proper tieatment. It is succulent and nutritious, and
when mowed requires only a few days of seasonable
weather to start it growing again, and usually two good
crops of hay can be cut in a season. Orchard Grass is
also exceedingly adapted as a pasture grass, and also suc-
ceeds in shady situations, such as orchards, parks, etc.,
better than most other grasses. Orchard Grass succeeds
and grows upon nearly all soils that are not saturated
with water. Tt does not, however, on loamy uplands or
moderately stiff soils, although it will succeed very well
even on soils that are inclined to be of a sandy texture.
It matures early, and is exceedingly adapted for sowing
with Tall Meadow Oat Grass and Red Glover, and this
mixture is very highly recommended. Orchard Grass fields
can be kept in a continuous state of productiveness, pro-
vided a light seeding is made early each spring; should any
bare spots appear in the field, an occasional top dressing
of manure during the winter or ground bone or fertilizer
early in the spring will fully maintain its productiveness.
Orchard Grass can be sown either in the spring or fall,
although it is best sown in the spring. Sow at the rate
of two bushels per acre, or if sown with Red Clover, V/2
bushels of Orchard Grass and 8 lbs. of clover are the
quantities usually sown. Also see under “Tall Meadow
Oat Grass” for suggested combination with that grass.

Sudan Grass.
Vildan rirace The Sensational New Forage Crop.
uUUali VJl dob This new introduction has been very
generally sown all throughout the country the past year.
It is proving a remarkable success wherever it has been
sown, and is destined to become one of the standard sum-
mer grass and forage crops, and that it will largely super-
cede_ millet arid other summer forage crops is confidently
predicted. Millet only produces one crop a year; Sudan
Grass will produce two or three good cuttings each season,
and cures up splendidly, making a most nutritious and de-
sirable forage or hay crop. From our own and our cus-
tomers’ experience, we strongly recommend liberal seed-
ings of this grass everywhere that a summer forage or
grass crop is desired. Sudan Grass has, without doubt,
solved the summer hay question wherever it can be grown,
as it has both an excellent feeding value and market
value, and should prove not only well adapted for home
use, but also as a profitable crop to grow for sale on our
markets as a desirable and nutritious hay. It is unques-
tionably a great hay-producing crop, both in quality and
yield.
Sowing the seed. — The seed should not be sown until the
ground and weather become warm, in this section not
earlier than the first of May. Gan be sown either in
drills from 18 inches to two feet apart at the rate of about
10 lbs per acre, and cultivated, or can be broadcasted or
drilled thickly at the rate of 25 to 30 lbs. per acre. The
hay should be cut as soon as tbe grass is fully headed,
and early cuttings are specially advisable where more cut-
tings per season are expected. The grass can be cut with
a mower, the same as other grasses. Sudan Grass stools
out thickly after the first cutting, and makes a thicker
growth for the second and third cuttings than for the first
cutting. Sudan Grass is an annual, and requires to be
sown each season. Postpaid, lb. 35c. Not prepaid, 10-
lb lots 28c lb; 100-lb lots $25.00.
Dlin/loc Oroce Rhodes Grass is recommended for
XvilUUCo vJIaoo cultivation in Florida and the
southern part of the Gulf States, and is especially promis-
ing for the semi-arid regions of the extreme southwest,
where the temperature does not fall below 20 degrees Fah-
renheit. It is best sown in April or May. The seed bed
should be very thoroughly prepared, and the seed covered
very lightly. Tt must, however, be in contact with moist
soil to germinate readily. Five to ten pounds of seed is
sown to the acre. Rhodes Grass has been grown in Flori-
da for the last three or four years, with marked success.
It is of fine growth, and the quality of the hay is said to
be equal to that of the best timothy hay as grown in more
northerly latitudes. One Florida farmer has reported that
in sixty days from sowing his Rhodes Grass was ready
for the mower. It will spread so as to smother out Ber-
muda. Grab and Nut Grasses. Those who have grown it in
Florida, Texas, and the Gulf States pronounces it unex-
celled in growth and value by any other grass. Rhodes
Grass is a perennial, growing from three to four feet high,
with a large number of very long, narrow and tender
leaves and with rather few branching stems. When grown
from seed, its growth is commonly erect the first season,
but the second season it makes runner-like branches 2 to 4
feet long, with root at the joints and so cover the ground
quite rapidly. While the principal value of Rhodes Grass
is for grazing, it is also used for hay, giving two to three
cuttings of about one ton each per acre. The hay is of
excellent quality. The grass bears severe drought and
moderate frost without injury, but is easily killed by
plowing late in the season. Postpaid, lb. 60c; 5 lbs. $2.75.

THIS IS COMPLETE.
Alfalfa The Most Profitable Crop— Yields 4 to 5 Cut-
AUdud tings a Year. For successful results with Al-
falfa, it should be sown, however, on reasonably good
land, and the soil given thorough preparation, and well
limed. These conditions are absolutely necessary for suc-
cess with this crop. The spring seeding of Alfalfa, while
quite generally practiced, is not considered as good as
the fall seeding. It can be satisfactorily sown during
March or April, but is more largely sown during August
and September. Our tests and experiments with Alfalfa
show conclusively that American-grown seed is very much
better than the imported seed. In fact, we do not recom-
ment the seed of the Turkestan Alfalfa at all. In recent
years very large quantities of Turkestan Alfalfa have been
brought and sold in this country, simply as “alfalfa
seed,” without stating the country of origin. The crop
from this does not stand as well nor give as good results
as that from American-grown seed, and we would recom-
mend to our customers to always obtain the American-
grown seed which we offer. After Alfalfa is once estab-
lished it lasts for years, yielding as much as four or
five cuttings per season of most excellent and nutritious
hay, which is readily salable at top prices. Lands in the
Western States that are well set in Alfalfa sell readily at
from $200 to $500 per acre, so that a crop of this kind
pays well for extra preparation to secure good land and
good crops. It is better to have five acres well set in
Alfalfa with thorough preparation than to attempt to put
in ten acres without first-class preparation. Alfalfa will
do well on any good loam soil, but the land must be well
and thoroughly prepared. A heavy application of lime is
usually considered of decided benefit, the most successful
raisers of Alfalfa using from 2,000 to 5,000 pounds per
acre. It is preferable to sow Alfalfa on land that has a
porous or gravelly subsoil that the roots can penetrate.
Alfalfa is deep-rooting plant and will give best Tesults on
soils of this character.
Best Time and Methods of Seeding.— Alfalfa can be ad-
vantageously sown in this section in the spring, any time
during March or April. Further South, earlier seedings are
advisable. A satisfactory stand secured from spring seed-
ing will furnish one or two good cuttings this year, and
full cuttings the following year. Alfalfa should always be
cut before coming into full bloom, and from seed sown
either in the fall or spring the first cutting should be made
even before it reaches this stage of development. Cutting
thickens Alfalfa, provided it is done before the plant at-
tains its full growth, and it not only makes a better
quality hay, but causes it to stool out better, thus thick-
ening the root growth, and improving the stooling-out
properties. The seed is usually sown broadcast, at the rate
of 20 to 30 pounds to the iacre. When sown in the fall,
August and September are the best months for seeding.
A firm seed bed is of first importance. For full informa-
tion in regard to preparation in this connection we would
call attention to the information given under the heading
of “Clover Seed.”
Our “Esco” Brand Alfalfa Seed is all American-grown,
and of best qualities obtainable, testing high percentages,
both of germination and purity, and it is also entirely
free from dodder. We do not sell or recommend the cheap
imported Turkestan Alfalfa at anv price. Price, postpaid,

rinvPP (White Blossom) One of the most
vIU VC1 valuable qualities of Sweet Clover is
its ability to improve the quality of soil which it is sown
on. This is accomplished by the large root extending be-
low the usual depth of plowings, breaking it thoroughly,
and decaying rapidly and adds a large amount of humus
to that portion. It thrives in all parts of the South — thriv-

Sweet
Dn4 f'lfTVPr (Trifoliura pratense.) Red Clover not only
XvcU. V/lUVcl furnishes most excellent pasturage and
fine hay crops, but its
growth improves the land
and adds humus to the soil
wherever it is grown. It
is the standard hay, pas-
turage and soil-improving
crop wherever general
farming is practiced. Red
Clover will yield crops two
or three years from one
seeding, and on good land
will yield two cuttings per
year. The first crop makes
rich feed, and is the most
valuable for hay. The sec-
ond crop does not make so
good a quality of feed.
Red Clover should be cut
for hay when in full
bloom. For hay it is par-
ticularly well adapted for
sowing with Orchard and
Tall Meadow Oat Grass,
as it ripens at the same
time, and sowing these
three grasses together will
give larger yields and of
better quality hay than
sowing either alone. One
bushel of Orchard Grass,
one bushel Tall Meadow
Oat Grass and 8 pounds
of Clover will give excel-
lent results, and if it is
desired to use the land for
pasturage also, the addi-
tion of 6 pounds of Herds
Grass or Red Top will in-
crease the pasturage and
the second cutting of hay
considerably. -When sown
by itself, sow 10 to 12 pounds per acre, either in the fall
or spring, or at the last working of corn. Price postpaid,
35c per lb. Not prepaid, 30c per lb. Subject to change.

Crimson Clover.
Southern Burr Clover 1%
soil-improving and winter-grazing crop, growing luxuriant-
ly all through the winter and until summer. After once
being seeded, it reseeds itself and improves in growth
and appearance each succeeding year. It is admirably
adapted for use with Bermuda Grass, and the combina-
tion of the two makes a splendid all-the-year-round pas-
turage. It is also well adapted for use in regular pas-
turages, and will give a considerable increase in the quan-
tity of pasturage just at a time when it is most appre-
ciated. The plant matures its seed early in the spring,
and produces seed abundantly after the first year, and no
reseeding is necessary, unless the clover has been pas-
tured so closely as to prevent it from maturing seed.
When sown on Bermuda Grass sod, the sod must be
scarified to give the clover a chance to get its roots in
the soil below the layer of Bermuda roots. This scarify-
ing is also beneficial to the Bermuda Grass. Burr Clover
produces its seeds in slender, prickly pods, which come
spirally wound up into a bail or boll.
Treatment of Seed for Planting. — So many people have
trouble in securing a stand. You can have a success by
the following method, which has been tried out by ex-
periment stations all over the country and by ourselves:
Have two pails of water, or tubs of water, one cold or
cool water, the other hot, or scalding water. First dip or
soak your seed in the cold water for one hour or more;
then transfer to the hot water, allowing it to remain only
one minute; then put back in the cold water and let it
remain about 20 minutes. This restores the inoculation
which is taken out of the burr when first put in the cold
water. After this, spread in the shade, allowing it to
dry so that you can sow it.

XU Ivi o f'lruror This clover does well in the Cen-
W IIllu V^lUVcl tral South. Most all permanent
lawn and pasture mixtures contain some White Clover and
by itself it makes good grazing for cattle and sheep. It is
perennial with rather uncertain habits of growth, some-
times covering the ground with a thick mat of vigorous
plants and sometimes lies comparatively dormant, so it
should be seeded into sod or mixed with other clovers or
grasses. It succeeds best on moist ground or during a
wet season. If sown by itself use 10 pounds per acre,
or half that amount when put in with other clovers or

TEOSINTE
A Most Valuable and Enormous Yielding, Continuous-
Cutt.ng Forage Crop.
We strongly recommend to our customers who have not done
so, to sow this splendid forage crop. If a sufficient quantity
is sown, it will furnish a continuous daily supply of most
nutritious green feed for horses and all kinds of cattle all
through the summer. It also makes splendid dry fodder,
yielding enormously and being more nutritious and even
better relished by all kinds of stock than corn fodder. In
appearance it somewhat resembles Indian corn, but the
leaves are much larger and broader, and the stalks con-
tain sweeter sap. It produces a great number of shoots, very
thickly covered with leaves, yielding an abundance of for-
age. It stools out enormously after being cut, as many as
forty-five stalks having been grown from a single seed. The
first cutting can be made when it is two or three feet high.
Sow in May or June at the rate of 2 to 3 pounds per acre
in drills 3)4 to 4 feet apart. Postpaid, oz. 10c; 54 lb. 30c;
lb. $1.00. Not prepaid, about 85c lb. Write for prices.
MILLET
German Millet makes a large-yielding and most nutri-
tious hay crop, quick-grow'ing and easily cured. It requires,
however, to be seeded thickly — not less than one bushel per
acre — and the crop should always be cut while in bloom,
before the seed hardens in the head. If the seed is allowed
to form, the stalks get hard, and it does not make nearly
as good quality hay, and at the same time it is more ex-
haustive to the land. It can be sown at any time from the
middle of May until the end of July. Do not sow too early,
as it does not grow off well until the soil and weather get
warm. It matures its crop in from 6 to 8 weeks after seed
ing. Our Southern-grown German Millet makes much better
growth than Western-grown seed.
Sowing German Millet with cow peas for a hay crop
seems to be increasing. Sown in this way, it should be
sown with some quick-maturing variety of covr peas, such
as Whippoorwill or New Era, and should be sown at the
rate of about three-quarters of a bushel of millet and one
bushel of cow peas to the acre. It is necessary, when these
crops are sown together, to cut the crop at the time that
the millet is ready to cut for hay, regardless of the ma-
turity of the cow peas. Sown together in this way, they
make a much larger yield than either crop alone, and cure
up and make splendid, nutritious feed. Peck 90c; bus. $3.00.
Pearl, or Cat-Tail Millet £-£?“£,, ?„n|
most nutritious of continuous-cutting green forage plants.
This makes a most nutritious and valuable continuous
cutting forage plant, and is increasing in popularity
throughout the country. It will grow 10 to 12 feet high,
but cutting can be commenced when it has attained the
height of 3 to 4 feet, when it will stool out enormously
and make a rapid growth, and it can be cut this way three
or four times in a season. It is largely used by dairy-
men and others who have cattle, for furnishing them green
food through the summer, and if a sufficient quantity is
sown, it can be cut as desired, furnishing a daily sup-
ply of green food until killed by freezing weather. It can
be fed either green or cured as dry forage, making a most
nutritious fed, which is relished by all kinds of stock.
It can also be cut two or three times during the season
from one seeding. Sow five pounds of seed per acre in
drills three feet apart. Pearl, or Cat-Tail Millet should
not be planted before May. It is a tropical plant, and re-
quires warm soil and warm weather to germinate well
and grow off to best advantage. Postpaid, 40c lb. Not
prepaid, 30c lb. Write for prices.
UPLAND RICE
You can grow rice just as easily on uplands as on the
flooded lowlands. Any ground having a reasonable amount
of moisture will produce a good crop. Prepare the land and
cultivate as for corn, except the rows are only 22 inches
apart, so that one furrow in each middle, with an 18-inch
sweep, usually suffices for a working, and the hills just
far enough so it can be hoed. Plant as early in April
as you can. Furrows are opened and the seed covered in
any way most convenient at the time, just so the seeds
get a little dirt over them. Drop 15 to 20 seed in each
hill and leave all that come up. Cultivate for moisture and
to keep down grass and weeds until the rice begins to
head. It usually ripens last of August or early in Sep-
tember. The color tells when it is ripe. Requires about
three bushels of 44 pounds, or 132 pounds, to sow an acre.

CHUFAS
The Greatest Hog Feed.
Very few people realize the actual value of -Chufas as a
crop to plant for your hogs. With the increasing interest
of hog raising through the South, we hope to see the day
when thousands of acres will be planted. If you had to pay
$15.00 per bushel for them, then they would be just ae
cheap as anything else at its regular price put on the same
space for that purpose (except Jerusalem Artichokes).
Experiment stations in all States have tested them and
recommended them highly. We know nothing that equals
the value of Chufas to the farmer for his hogs. Plant from
April to June at the rate of one and a half pecks to the acre,
dropping the nuts in rows two and one-half feet apart,
covering about two inches. Cultivate same as peanuts. Crop
generally matures about September 1st and can be left in
ground for hogs to harvest when ready to fatten. Place

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES
Artichokes make an enormous crop of nutritious feed for
hogs and all kinds of cattle. They will yield, ordinarily,
twice as much as potatoes on the same land. Should be
planted and cultivated the same as potatoes, although,
where desired, hogs can be turned on them about two weeks
after the blossoms fall, and allowed to feed on the roots
throughout the winter, except when the ground is frozen.
Artichokes are almost entirely hardy and it is best not
to dig them until ready to feed. They will stay in perfect
condition in the ground until spring. Of course, as they
cannot be dug during frozen weather in the winter, it is
sometimes desirable to dig a sufficient quantity, so as to
have a supply of feed during severe spells of winter weath-
er. Otherwise, it is much better to allow them to remain
in the ground until ready for use. _
Artichokes can be planted any time in April, the earlier
the better. Plant in rows four feet apart, dropping the
artichokes 12 to 15 inches apart in the row. It requires 4 to
5 bushels to plant an acre. If land is poor, apply a good
potato fertilizer at the rate of 400 to 500 pounds to the acre
at the last working of the artichokes. Write us for prices

Field or Cow Peas
The Most Valuable and Surest-Cropping of Summer Forage and Soil
Improving Crops.
Brabham Cow Peas,
Cow Peas make one of the largest yielding and most nu-
tritious forage crops grown. There is also no surer or
cheaper means of improving and increasing the productive-
ness of our soils than by sowing the Cow Peas. It is not
necessary to turn under the crop of vines to improve the
soil, and it is really considered more economical and the
best way to cut off the crop of vines and cure them as a
forage or hay crop, and then turn under the stubble and
roots. Even when the crop is cut off, the land is left in
very much better mechanical condition, and the productive-
ness very much increased over what it was before the crop
was grown. The Cow Peas, to a greater extent than any
other leguminous crop, has the power to extract nitrogen
and ammonia from the atmosphere and to store same in the
vines and roots, so that, even if the crop is cut off, the
land is enriched and its condition improved. From 10,000 to
18,003 pounds of green fodder per acre have been produced
by the Cow Pea.
To Grow for Hay they are most valuable, as they yield
an immense quantity of feed of the best quality, and pro-
duce the crop in so short a time. The bacon made from hogs
fed on the dried peas is much sweeter and more solid, and
the fat will not run out in cooking nearly so much as if
fed on corn.
For Ensilage they are unsurpassed, being more nutritious
than green corn and other crops used for this purpose.
Where it is desired to turn the whole crop under as a soil-
improver, it is better to do so after the vines are partly
dead. A good picking of the dried peas can be made before
plowing under, if desired. Cow Peas can be sown in May,
June or July, at the rate of from one to one and a half
bushels per acre.
SOWING COW PEAS with Sorghum, Millet, Soja Beans
and Kaffir Corn. You must always see that Cow Peas are
sown with some of the above to furnish support and enables
the vine to be cut and harvested with better advantage.
Generally sown at the rate of one bushel Cow Peas to one-
half Soja Beans or from one peck to one and one-half bushel
of Sorghum.

Velvet Beans
Makes An Enormous Growth of Foliage; the Greatest Soil-
Improving Crop Grown— At the Least Expense.
Velvet Beans make an enormous growth of vines; greater,
in fact, than any other known forage plant, in the same
length of time, far surpassing the cow pea in yield. Velvet
Beans are usually planted in rows four to five feet apart, at
the rate of about half a bushel per acre. As a soil improver
they are considered superior to cow peas, as they make so
much larger growth and so much heavier amount of foliage.
The proportion of nitrogen contained in the vines is about
the same as in cow peas, as they make so much larger
growth and so much neavier amount of foliage. The pro-
portion of nitrogen contained in the vines is about the same
as in cow peas, and as the yield is so much greater, the
total amounts of nitrogen and humus added to the soil are
correspondingly larger. A crop of three tons will add much
nitrogen to the soil as will a ton of cotton-seed meal, while
the amount of humus will be three times as great.
Also makes splendid, nutritious fall and winter grazing. —
In the South, Velvet Beans are used very largely for win-
ter grazing, and for that purpose it is one of the best crops

90-Day Velvet
Beans.
'a
of the Gulf Coast and Flor-
ida. The crop should be
allowed to grow until De-
cember or until killed by
frost, after which it can
be grazed through the winter, as the
vines, leaves and pods decay very slow-
ly, and remain palatable a long time.
Early in the year, the crop remaining
on the ground is usually plowed under
as a soil improver, and adds very mate-
rially to the condition and productive-
ness of the soil.
90-Day Velvet Beans
This new Velvet Bean is creating a
sensation wherever it is planted. It is
the quickest-growing and earliest matur-
ing of the Velvet Beans, and is well
adapted for growing in districts further
north than Velvet Beans ordinarily have
been grown. It will succeed and mature
from Virginia southward, and will make
a large growth in more northerly sec-
tions, even where it does not mature the
seed.
Tt makes a wonderful soil-improver and
forage crop, and the best of grazing for
cattle, and is, in our opinion, destined
to very largely take the place of other
Velvet Beans all through the East and
Middle South. Price, peck 75c; bushel
$2.50. Subject to change. Write for prices.
Oceola Velvet Beans
Resembling the 90- Day variety, except
the pods are larger and slightly curved,
with generally four beans to the pod.
Price, peck $1.25; bushel $4.25. Sub-
ject to change. Write for prices when
ready to buy.
Soy or Soja Beans
Soy Beans and Cow Peas should be inoculated with
Nitrogen-Bacteria. $1.25 per acre.
In addition to the fact that Soja Beans make one of the
best of summer forage crops, and are splendid soil-improv-
ers, they are coming rapidly into use and popularity for
use as table beans, and also for canning, the same as navy
beans for “pork and beans.” They are also being very
largely used for the extraction of oil for commercial pur-
poses. Their uses for these purposes have increased their
popularity to a wonderful extent.
This increased demand in causing them to sell at much
higher prices than they have in the past, and it is making
them one of the most profitable crops for our Southern
farmers to grow for a crop of beans.
The increased use of Soja Beans is likely to continue,
and we recommend the growing of this crop to our Southern
farmers, as likely to prove very profitable in the future.
They are also a particularly valuable crop for growing in
boll weevil sections in place of cotton.
In some sections, the beans are harvested by being cut,
and threshed in a bean or grain separator afterwards. In
other sections they are gathered by a bean harvester which
gathers the crop in the field, and we are inclined to think
that this is -the best and most satisfactory way of har-
vesting the bean crop.
To grow for a crop of beans, they should be planted in
drills three feet apart, at the rate of about half a bushel to
the acre, and cultivated the same as for corn.

and further South. Write for prices.
HAIRY SAND, or WINTER VETCH
One of the most valuable forage plants grown on a South-
ern farm, and from the increased demand this past year, the
farmers have found it out. It can not be recommended too
highly for planting in this country. Sow broadcast from
30 to 40 pounds per acre from July to November, with
wheat, rye or oats, which will hold the vine from the
ground, making the hay more valuable. Write for prices

EVERETT SEED COMPANY, ATLANTA, GA.
Everett’s High-Grade Flower Seed
'T'l.p best suited to flowers is a light rich loam
J. 11c OU11 made as fine and smooth as possible. If
heavy, mix with sand to lighten and make it friable.
Many seeds are very small and require a fine seed-bed.
A good plan is to cover the place where the seeds are to
be sown with pine-tags, coarse manure, leaves and other
litter, and allow it to remain for a few weeks. The soil
will then be finely pulverized and in a splendid condi-
tion to start the seeds.
either broadcast or in rows, and
cover lighty — a good general rule
is to cover two or three times the size of the seed — and
press the soil firmly. Small seeds cannot come up if
covered too deep. Very fine seed should be sown on the
surface and pressed into the soil. To have the earliest
blooms, flowers that stand transplanting should be sown
early in boxes indoors. After sowing, water with a fine
spray, do not let the soil dry out, but be sure not to
keep the young plants saturated as they may damp off.
When three or four leaves have formed transplant one
inch apart in boxes or in the open ground if warm enough.

ANNUALS attain full growth from seed, bloom and die in
one season. Sow Hardy Annuals in March or April, or
earlier indoors for transplanting outside. Hardy Annuals
may be sown in the fall for earlier spring blooming.
They make larger flowers and more brilliant colors than
spring sowings.
PERENNIALS usually bloom the second year after sowing
and continue to bloom for many years. Fall sowings or
early sowings indoors usually produce blooms the next
season.
BIENNIALS bloom the second year after sowing and then
die. Like perennials, they may be sown early indoors
or in the fall.
HALF HARDY and TENDER FLOWERS should not be
sown or transplanted outside until the weather is settled
and warm. Calceolarias, Cinerarias, Cyclamen, Gloxinias,
Primulas and Smilax are tender and should be kept in
pots, shifting to larger pots as the growth requires.
HORNY SHEIIED SEEDS like Canna, Evening Glory,
Brazilian and Japanese Morning Glory should have a hole
filed through the outer shell, or soaked in warm water
36 hours before planting.

CULTURE. — Some time before planting dig out a trench
a foot deep, put in several inches of well-rotted manure and
cover with six inches of earth. Early in February open
the row three to four inches deep, drop the seeds (about
four seeds) every three inches, cover about two inches, and
two or three times during the season bank the soil against
the roots. The whife-seeded kinds are tenderer than the
black-seeded, and should not be planted too early. They
may also be planted in October, November and December,
planting four to six inches deep; give slight protection and
they will become well-rooted and grow off at the first open-
ing of spring and produce an abundance of blooms earlier
and for a longer season than spring plantings.
Don’t gather the blooms grudgingly— the more you cut
them the better and longer they bloom.
