GREETING Season of 1919
Hn All Wise Creator has favored us with hountiful harvests o
seeds. We are grateful that conditions generally are favor- f
ahle for supplying our customers and ' we extend Greetings to
our Quarter of a Million Friends who purchase seed of us.
We were never in hetter position to fill your orders promptly
and satisfactorily.
Last season we returned thousands of dollars to our customers for seed we were unable to supply
In some cctses we delayed orders hoping to obtain seeds: one car of beans shipped in Dec. arrived in
May. We grew more this season than ever before and believe we can meet any demand for any seed.
Select seeds for anything not satisfactory last season.
QUALITY has always been Our First and Greatest Consideration.
PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING
We guarantee seeds to reach you safely; to be
the varieties we sell them for; to grow under prop-
er conditions and with proper care. We will re-
place, free, any failing in these respects if cus-
tomers have reason to think the fault was in the
seed. We can not guarantee you a good crop, as
other conditions might prevent that.
We do not guarantee plants to live. If they reach
you in good condition, our responsibility ceases.
Remittances must accompany all orders. Send
money order, express order, draft or registered let-
ter when possible. Postage stamps taken for small
amounts. The cost of money orders of 50 cents or
over may be ded-ucted from amount sent.
Special Prices will be quoted on large orders by
express or freight. Sometimes we can shade prices
a little.
Plants are not sent with seeds. They. follow
later from greenhouse. Grape vines are mailed by
themselves from nursery.
Mistakes. Should there any occur, kindly notify
us and we will gladly correct same. We aim to
please.
Postpaid. We send everything in this catalogue
by mail postpaid. Parcel post is cheaper and more
satisfactory than express in most cases.
We use a large per cent of our profits for goo
purposes, such as charities, education, church work
missions, etc.
Good seeds, square, honest dealing, honor an
good will to all is the foundation principles of ou
business. On these principles we have rapidly built
up one of the largest mail order seed trades in the
world, while “Calamity Howlers” and “Fault Find
ers” have as rapidly lost what trade they had.
Notice our Mail Order Seed House on the froni
cover of this catalc^gue, one of the best in th^
country for handling a mail order trade. Also]
notice Load of Mail (one day’s mail starting fori
the post-office, about 3,000 seed orders). Durini
the busy season we receive about three-fourths o]
the letters coming to Deposit po.st-office and sent
out over three-fourths of the bulk mail. Whatl
made it? Good Seeds, Square, Honest Dealing, Low]

This Big Fruited but erect-growing variety is one of the most im-
portant advances made in recent years in the line of Tomatoes es-
pecially adapted to home gardens. The original plant was discov-
ered in a large field of Ponderosa. Its vine would indicate a cross
with the Dwarf Champion while the fruit is surprisingly similar to
Ponderosa, although smoother. Those who have attempted in the
past to grow Ponderosa with its sprawling habit of vine may now
have the same quality of fruit on strong, erect vines, requiring only
one-fourth the space. The main stem or stalk grows about 20 to 24
inches high and is very stiffly erect. The fruits are immense, making
Big Dwarf by far. the largest fruited erect-growing sort in cultiva-
tion. The color is a rich crimson tinged with purple, making it sur-
prisingly attractive when exposed for sale. Pkt. 8 cts.; ^ oz. 25 cts.j

ance of leaves, and grows to^ a fair height,^ but not
over-large and coarse-stalked as some varieties._ The

to each stalk. The ears are long, with small red cob
well filled with grains of medium size, of rich golden

ly makes a good crop, even in dry season, by reason

metrical: color a bright golden yellow: grain very

Pencillaria — The Great Forage Plant
This wonderful forage plant, which is an im-
proved Pearl or Cat-tail millet, has created quite a
sensation as the most prolific forage plant grown.
In the north is usually will give three cuttings in
a season, and in the south almost double that
amount. It has produced as high as 25 tons per
acre of good fodder. Each plant stoof produces a
lax’ge number of stalks from each seed. You should

SUDAN GRASS
It is a tall, annual grass reaching a height of 7
fe’et when planted ixx rows and allowed to mature for
seeds crop; broadcasted and cut in the bloom for hay
about 4 feet. The results have been so satisfactory
that it is now established one of our permanent for-
age crops. It is easily cured and handled as a hay
crop. Stock of all kinds, eat it readily and will leave
any other hay for it. The food value is second only
to alfalfa. Should not be planted until the soil be-
comes warm in the spring. Two to four cuttings per
year can be obtained when sown broadcast for hay,
the number of cuttings secured depends upon the
length of the season and the moisture. The first crop
will mature in from 50 to 60 days, and the second
crop is ready for harvesting in from 20 to 30 days.
Three tons of cured hay per cutting per acre has been
secured and three cuttings made. It is a great
drought register and is particularly adapted to semi-
arid regions. It is an annual and- must be seeded each
spring. When seeded in rows 18 to 20 inches apart,
drill 4 to 6 lbs. When sown broadcast 16 to 24 lbs.
per acre. 14 Tb. 15 ets.; lb. 50 cts.; 5 lbs. by mall $2.25;

Choicest Varieties of Flower Seeds*
VJe grow and have grown ^*in United States^* especially for our trade nearly all the Flower Seeds
U3e sell, A few not developed successfully in this country we secure in France, England, Denmark,
etc. Our long experience growing Flower Seeds enables us to know what will succeed satisfactorily
Flowers usually do best in a rich light garden soil. De-
composed manure is beneficial to nearly all plants. Asters
Pansies and most plants and bulbs, etc., like plenty of
moisture (a rich soil well watered), while Portulaccas will
not start till weather is warm. Plants wanted early can
be started in fine soil in a sunny window in the house,
great care should be taken to keep most and warm while
sprouting. Some hardy seeds will start well out-doors
if sown early, but others will rot if earth is cold and
wet. Nice mellow beds can be prepared outside for the
hardier seeds when weather is warm and they can be
transplanted from these when large enough.
Annuals are plants which bloom first season from seed
and then perish. Those like Balsams, Nasturtiums and
Zinnias, whch are easily killed by frost, are called half-
hardy annuals. Seeds of these should be own, if wanted
for early, in the house, but most sorts will do better if
sowm outside in a nicely prepared bed and transplanted.
plants should be kept free from weeds,n ot crowded,
tod be well cultivated.
Perennials are hardy plants which live year after year=.
Tender Perennials must be kept in house during winter.
Hardy Perennials are such pl.mts as Hollyhacks, Sweet
William, Rocket, etc. Most of thse will not bloom till
second season. These and biennials are often benefited
by a coverng of hemlock boughs, straw or something
which will protect from the sun and not smother plants.
Biennials produce plants first season which blossom,
mature, seeds die the second season, such as Canterbury
Bell, Digitalis, etc. They require about th same treat-
ment as perennials.
Greenhouse Seeds require the greatst care and should
be carefully sown in a box or flower pot in light fine
earth in house kept at a temperature of about 70 degrees.
Always remember they need to be moist (not wet) and
warm. A pane of glass over a flower pot or a wet cloth
or paper will retain moisture and assist them to germ-
inate. If thick transplant soon as possible.
