A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS 1919

For our many customers and the public at large is our
sincere wish and desire.

We send Greetings to all those who have favored us with
their orders, likewise to those who have not so favored
us.

WE REALIZE

That we are under obligations to our many friends, and
that it is our duty as well as our privilege to furnish
them with high-grade seeds.

IT HAS BEEN

Very gratifying indeed to receive so many kind and ap-
preciative words from our customers relative to results
obtained from planting our seeds. These act as a stim-
ulant to still greater effort.

When we first engaged in the seed business the corner-
stone was laid upon the solid rock of

QUALITY

This corner-stone has been so well guarded and the plan-
ning and laying of each additional stone has been given
so much thought, care and attention that the growth of
our superstructure has been and is very gratifying.

It has not been an easy matter at all times to secure
these high-grade seeds, but in order to do so, we grow
and contract with reliable growers in different countries
of Europe, England and twelve different states of this
country.

A FEW YEARS AGO

We shipped into Spokane the first car of Onion Sets ever
brought to Spokane. This year we have already pur-
chased three cars, and this is the first season any seed
house has shipped in more than tv^o.

WHEN YOU ORDER

Write name and address plainly.

Give postoffice and shipping point.

Include prepay charges if necessary.
Figure postage correctly.

All orders strictly cash.

The Inland
Seed

Seed Company’s
Catalogue |1919|

The growing season of 1918 has been very unfavorable for the production of seeds,
hence there is a general shortage on nearly all varieties of vegetable seeds.
Under our own supervision we grew a much, larger acreage this year than we have
ever done before, and had likewise a much larger amount of seeds contracted for, from
other reliable growers in this country as well as in England and Europe, and yet at this
date, DecembeK 1, 1918, we have only received part of our seeds and have been unable to
ascertain positively the quantity we will receive, hence it makes our supply as well as our
deliveries uncertain.

We want it distinctly understood that prices quoted on seeds and all other items in
this catalogue may or may not be maintained 'during' the year 1919, and when we are
forced to deviate from quotations made, we will either notify the party sending us the
order or forward the full value for money received at prices prevailing on date order is
received. As our custom and practice In the past .has been the best seeds at any cost, we
are not deviating from this principle now, though it is almost impossible to secure suffi-
cient stock of high grade seeds such as we handle.

The prices quoted in this catalogue are the very lowest that we can consistently sell
at for the high grade seeds we'handle.

ARTICHOKE TUBERS

Planted and cultivated the same as potatoes.

( Of great value for feeding stock. They are the
I best hog feed known. They are remarkable for
their fattening properties, and great product-
iveness. One Ib., postpaid, 15c; at purchasers
expense, 50 lbs., $1.50; 100 lbs., $2.50.

ASPARAGUS
SEED

CULTURE— Sow in
early spring in rows;
when one year old the
roots may be taken up
and transplanted in
permanent beds, which
should be made by
taking out the soil to
a depth of about 16
inches, fill in with six
inches of well rotted
stable manure, then 6
inches of soil, some-
what firmed, and place
the roots on the same
about 10 inches apart
with the roots well
spread out and cover
so that the crown will be about 4 inches below
the surface.

PALMETTO — This variety is very desirable
on account of its earliness, bright green color,
presenting an attractive appearance, excellent
havor and productiveness.

CONOVER'S COLOSSAL— A standard sort;
quality first class, spreads less than other sorts.
Both varieties: Pkt., 2 for 15c; oz., 15c; 2 oz., 25c;
1/4 lb., 40c; 1/2 lb., 60c; 1 lb., $1.00.

Beans

It is a fact worth emphasizing that in order
to secure the best results from seeds that
the seeds themselves should be fully matured,
well developed, of good germination, and
capable of strong, vigorous grrowth. In order
to secure these very essential and necessary
qualities, we are having our wax and green
podded bush varieties grown in Washington and

Idaho, in localities especially suited to their
growth . and culture, by men who thoroughly
understand the preparation of the ground, cul-
tivation and harvesting of the crop.

This insures to us seed of the very best type
and of the highest quality,

CULTURE — Beans should not be planted until
the ground is warm, as cold and wet weather
will cause the seed to rot. For garden culture
plant four or five seeds in hills one foot apart,
in rows 18 inches apart. For field culture, make
the rows 3 or 3% feet apart, and cover with two
inches mellow soil.

Bush, Wax Podded

BLACK WAX, PROLIFIC— This improved
strain of Black Wax we offer under this, name
is exceptionally productive, very hardy, reliable
and of the best quality. It is very extensively
used for snaps for the home garden and mar-
ket. The plants are medium sized, erect in
growth, with small foliage, very vigorous, early
intermediate in season with longer bearing pe-
riod than most sorts. The pods are of medium
length, four and one-fourth to four and one-
half inches, borne well up from the ground,
curved, cylindrical and fleshy. They are of a
clear, light golden yellow color and remain a
long time in condition for use as snaps. Seed
small, oblong, jet black.

DAVIS WAX— This is also called White Kid-
ney Wax. It is a well known market sort, much
used for shipping. The plants are very hardy and
productive and the variety is very desirable
where a handsome wax-podded, white seeded
intermediate sort is wanted. The piants are very
vigorous. The pods are remarkably long, about
6 inches, sometimes longer. They are handsome,
light yellow, straight, very attractive and when
young are crisp and tender. The dry beans are
excellent for baking. Seed medium large, kid-
ney shaped, clear white.

GOLDEN WAX I MPROVED— This is one
of the earliest and best dwarf sorts for
the home market and private gardens.
The plants are erect, compact, and very pro-
ductive. The pods are of medium length, four
and one-half to five inches, nearly straight,
broad, flat, golden yellow, very fleshy and wax-

View of Garden of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. King

Prizes were offered by the following parties for the best garden in the fall of 1917 :
One by the City Beautiful Committee of the Spokane Ad Club; one by J. W. Graham
& Co.; one by the Spokesman-Review, and one by Mrs. Twohy, which is known as the
Twohy Cup, and had to be won three years in succession before it could be perman-
ently held. Every one of these prizes were won by those who used our seeds exclu-
sively. The only prize offered for the best garden of 1918 was the Twohy Cup. This
Cup was won the second time by Mr. and Mrs. A. J. King, of E. 3917 32nd avenue, Spo-
kane, who again used our seeds.

OUR PREMIUM OFFER

Mangel Wurtzels are being more and more grown for stock feed.
It has been clearly demonstrated that they are one of the most profit-
able feeds that can be produced on a farm. They are easily grown, im-
mense yielders, and their meat and milk producing qualities are uni-
versally recognized.

Without detracting from the merits of any other variety, we wish
to direct attention to our Improved Long Red Mammoth, the exact
drawing of which is shown on the covers of this catalog.

This beet was grown on Indian Prairie without irrigation by C. A.
Cram, Spokane R. F. D. No. 4. It was twenty-nine inches in length by
twenty-four in circumference, weighed nineteen pounds, and retained
its true shape, color and quality. Usually when a vegetable -grows to
an unusual size it loses not only its distinctive shape, but also deter-
iorates in quality.

We admit that there have been larger Long Red Mammoth Mangel
Wurtzels grown, but we have never seen as large a one as this that
retained its true shape and its old-time quality. Neither have we ever
seen a field that for uniformity of shape, size and quality of roots
equaled the field that produced the one shown here. We therefore
highly recommend this strain for SIZE, COLOR, QUALITY and PRO-
DUCTIVENESS.

If one could produce an acre of Mangels equal to the one shown
on these covers, grown in rows three feet apart and a mangel to each
foot in the row, an acre would produce more than 135 tons, and if sold
at $20 per ton the income from the acre would be $2700.

OUR OFFER

We offer the three following prizes for the three largest roots
grown from our seedsj and delivered to us so that we can place the
same on display in our building at the Fair Grounds on the opening
day of the 1919 Spokane Interstate Fair. Roots can be sent either by
Parcel Post or Express, but in every case charges must be prepaid or
they will not be received. Roots to be weighed by us on day of arrival.

When ordering seed it must be stated that you intend to enter the
contest. This will enable us to keep a record of those purchasing seed
for this purpose. Making above statement does not compel one to en-
ter the contest, but makes them eligible should they want to do so.

Do not overlook writing name and address plainly.

First Prize, $10.00 Second Prize, $6.00

Third Prize, $4.00

In case of a tie, we will give to each contestant so tieing the full
amount of the prize to which they would be entitled providing they
had not tied.

BEANS — Continued

Golden Wax

like. Seed medium sized, oval, white, more or
less covered with two shades of purplish red.
The amount and shade of color on this and all
partially colored beans will be affected greatly
by conditions of soil and ripening.

WAR DELL’S KIDNEY WAX— This stand-
ard variety maturing a little later than
Golden Wax, yields a large crop of long,
nearly straight, broad, light golden yellow, hand-
some pods. These are of large size, about six
inches long, and are of good quality. They al-
ways command a ready sale, making the variety
one of the most profitable for the market gar-
dener as well as shipper. This is also very ex-
tensively used for snaps for the home garden.
The plants are strong growing and bear their
long pods well up from the ground. The leaves
are large, broad and slightly roughened. Seed
large, flattened, kidney shaped, white with dark
markings about the eye.

All varieties of wax beans, 40c lb., postpaid;
at purchasers expense, 10 lbs., $3.00; 25 lbs., $7;
50 lbs., $13.00; 100 lbs., $25.00.

Bush, Green Podded

LONG YELLOW SIX WEEKS— The plants of

this hardy variety are large, vigorous, erect and
very productive. The leaves are large. The pods
are long, about six inches, straight, flat, hand-
some, rather light green and when young are
of good quality for snaps. Seed medium sized,
long, kidney shaped, light yellow with small
brownish circle about the eye. This is early
maturing and a. fine shipper. It is muc'. UGSd
for the home garden and market.

RED VALENTINE, EXTRA EARLY— The

plants are of medium size, erect, with dark
green leaves. The pods are of medium length,
about four and one-half inches, medium green
color, curved, cylindrical, with crease in back,
very fleshy, crisp and tender. Where the young
plants have to contend with adverse conditions
no other dwarf bean is more certain than the
Valentines are to set pods. Seed long, of me-
dium size and unsymmetrical in shape, purplish
pink splashed with pale buff; round- podded.

Long Yellow Six Weeks, or Red Valentine,
1 lb., 35c, postpaid; at purchasers expense, 10
Jbs., $2.50; 25 lbs., $6.00; 50 lbs., $11.50; 100 lbs.,
$22.50.

REFUGEE, EXTRA EARLY — A very early,
green-podded variety, -with medium-sized,
green, fleshy pods; seed drab, freely spotted
with dark purple. The vines are smaller and
of more upright growth, and leaves a little larger
than the late Refugee. The pods are round and
make an attractive appearance when shipped to
market. Their color is lighter than most of the
green beans.

STRINGLESS, GREEN — Vvery desirable dwarf
green podded snap sort for the home gar-
den and largely grown for the market. The
plants are large, spreading and productive. The
pods are medium green, five to six inches long,
cylindrical, and remain crisp and tender long’
Seed of medium size and length, yellowish
brown. Refugee and Stringless, Lb., 40c, post-
paid; at purchaser’s expense, 10 lbs., $3.00; 25
lbs., $7.00; 50 lbs., $13.00; 100 lbs., $25.00.

Pole, Green Podded

DUTCH CASE KNIFE— The vines of this
well-known green podded kidney bean for green
shell use are of good climbing habit, but twin-
ing rather loosely and may be used for a corn
hill sort of medium season. It is used for
snaps when quite young. The leaves are large
and crumpled. The pods are very long, seven
to eight inches, flat, irregular, medium green,
becoming lighter as they mature. Seed broad,
kidney shaped, flat, clear white and of excel-
lent quality whether used green or dry.

KENTUCKY WONDER— Also known as Old
Homestead. We believe this variety is the
most practically useful of the green podded
pole beans suitable for use as snaps. It is early,
very prolific, with showy pods which are of most
excellent quality. The vines are vigorous, climb-
ing well, bearing pods in large clusters. The pods
are medium light green, very long, often reach-
ing 9 or 10 inches, curved and twisted, nearly
round and very crisp when young, becoming
very irregular and spongy as the beans ripen.
Seed long, oval, slightly flattened, dun colored.
One of the very best early pole snap beans for
the home garden or market.

Both varieties: Lb., 45c, postpaid. At pur-
chaser’s expense, 5 lbs., $1.75; 10 lbs., $3.25.

LAZY WIFE — The pods are produced in
large clusters in great abundance and are from
four to five inches in length. Dark green,
rather flat but broad, quite thick, fleshy ,and
entirely stringless, retaining their brittleness
until fully developed; of unusually rich flavor.
Crop failure.

Pole, Wax Podded

KENTUCKY WONDER — Yellow podded,
bears a large quantity of rich, golden-yellow
pods from the time the plant is about half-
grown until it is killed by frost in the fall. The
plant makes a quick, healthy growth, and is
exceedingly productive, bearing large pods,
which are thick, meaty, stringless; very tender,
and have a fine flavor when cooked. This va-
riety is bound to gain in favor, both for the
home garden and for market. 1 lb., 45c, post-
paid; at purchaser’s expense, 5 lbs., $1.75; 10
IbsL, $3.25.

Ornamental

SCARLET RUNNER — Ornamental and use-
ful. The vine is graceful, flowers are of a bril-
liant scarlet, and the beans are of an excellent
quality, either when shelled or in a dry state.

Limas, Bush

Burpee’s

BURPEE’S — It grows vigorously to a height
of 18 to 20 inches, forming a circular bush 2 or
2% feet in diameter, yielding from 50 to 150
fine pods.

HENDERSON’S — Is very compact, bush form,
from 15 to 18 inches high, and produces enor-
mous crops of delicious, well-flavored beans.

Both varieties, 1i lb., 45c, postpaid; at pur-
chaser's expense, 5 lbs!, $1.75; 10 lbs., $3.25.

Limas, Pole

EARLY JERSEY — This variety Is one of the
earliest of the pole Limas. Pods are four inches
in length and contain three and four large beans
each. It is specially recommended for this
northern latitude as it gives much better results
than can be obtained from any of the other
varieties, on account of its earliriess and pro-
ductiveness. 1 lb., 45c, postpaid; at purchaser’s
expense, 5 lbs., $1.75; 10 lbs., $3.25.

Beets

CULTURE — The soil should be deep, rich and
mellow, plowed deep and harrowed until very
fine. Drop about one inch deep in drills 12 to
18 inches apart, and when well up thin to four
or six inches. The tops of the young beets can
be used for greens.

All, the different varieties of beets, unless oth-
erwise quoted: Pkt., 2 for 15c; oz., 20c; 2 oz.,

30c; 'A lb., 50c; A lb., 85c; 1 lb., $1.60, post-
paid. At purchaser’s expense, 1 lb., $1.50; 5 lbs.,
$7.00; 10 lbs., $13.00.

BLOOD TURNIP, EDMUNDS — An extra se-
lected stock of Blood Turnip. The roots are
dark red and nearly round or slightly flat-
tened. The flesh is deep red, zoned with lighter
shade, sweet, crisp and tender. This is an ex-
cellent market and home garden sort for sum-
mer and autumn use.

DETROIT DARK RED— We believe this is the
best beet for the market and home garden, and
on account of its uniformly deep rich color the
most desirable for canning. The tops are small
and upright in growth. The leaves are dark
green, shaded with red. The roots are medium
sized, globular or nearly round, very smooth and
of dark blood red color. The hesh is deep Ver-
million red, zoned with a lighter shade of the
same color. The variety is very desirable for
bunching. Careful comparisons with all promi-
nent varieties on the market prove that Detroit
Dark Red is the most uniform in shape and size
and the most attractive in color. It is unsur-
passed in quality.

ECLIPSE EARLY — An early beet especially
desirable for the home garden and used for
bunching. The tops are small. The roots are
bright deep red, smooth, round or slightly top
shaped, with a small tap and small collar. The
flesh is bright red, zoned with pinkish white,
very sweet, crisp and tender, especially when
young.

Detroit Dark Red.

EGYPTIAN, CROSBY’S— One of the earliest
and best strains of Beets. It is a decided im-
provement over the well-known Extra Early
Egyptian, being equally as early, but larger and
more round in form. The roots run uniform in
size and shape, have small tops, just right for
early bunching. The flesh is deep red, sweet,
tender, and of excellent quality. Crosby’s Egyp-
tion is fit for the market earlier than most oth-
er kinds. It develops its fine turnip shape al-
ready in the early stages of its growth and on
that account it is also preferred to most other
kinds, which take a much longer time to grow
to a proper maturity.

HALF LONG BLOOD— An old

and popular variety, especially de-
sirable for fall and winter use, as
it does not become woody, and
keeps better than the turnip shaped
varieties. The root is smooth and
handsome and the flesh is a bright
red and of good quality.

SWISS CHARD OR SEA KALE—

This variety does not produce an
edible root like the regular garden
beet, but is highly esteemed for the
broad, white leaf stalks and mid-
ribs, which are cooked and served
in the same manner as asparagus,
making a most delicious vegetable.
The leaves are also cooked like
spinach.

Mammoth Long Red Golden Tankard “Sludstrup” “Eckendorf”

The great importance of growing Mangel Wurtzel and Sugar Beets for stock feeding is be-
coming more and more apparent to the progressive farmer, on account of their immense yield,
and their fine feeding qualities. In order to secure seed from the very best types, we are con-
tracting with European and American growers that are looked upon by their competitors as real
experts. This seed costs us more than seed from the ordinary strains grown by ordinary grow-
ers, but we have always believed that quality is of more importance than price, and judging
from the increase in our sales each year, we are convinced that the farmers are recognizing and
appreciating the high quality of our seeds. All varieties of Mangel Wurtzel and Sugar

Beets: Oz., 15c; 2 oz., 25c; 40c; JA lb., TOcjIb., $1.35; postpaid. At purchaser’s expense, 1

lb., $1.25; 5 lbs., $6.00; 10 lbs., $11.00.

DANISH SLUDSTRUP— The Danish Govern-
ment encourages the growing of root crops by
offering certificates of merit to growers who
select and produce sorts which are of distinct-
ive value. Sludstrup is considered the best of
all mangels, having been awarded first class
certificate. In color it is reddish-yellow and
of a distinct type. It contains the largest per
cent of nutriment found in any sort. It is very
hardy, grows well above ground and is easily
pulled.

GIANT HALF SUGAR — Is very much more
valuble for feeding purposes than the old
sorts, it being very much richer. In addition to
this, the size and form have been improved un-
til it yields as much per acre as the best man-
gels, and twice as much per acre as the rich
sugar beet seed; is much easier handled, keeps
better and is in every way most valuable to the
farmer. Roots large, oval in form, very smooth,
with few rootlets; tops small, flesh white.

GIANT RED ECKENDORF— A very popular
variety. The roots are smooth, long and cylin-
drical in shape, very much like the tankard
mangels. They are very heavy, weighing up to
15 and 20 pounds each. The flesh is firm, crisp
and solid, -white in color and of high feeding
value. This variety is easily harvested, a large
proportion growing above ground.

GOLDEN TANKARD (Improved) — A special
feature is the rich, deep yellow color of the
flesh, differing in this respect from other Man-
gels, surpassing them in milk-producing quali-
ties. The roots are of large diameter, tapering
quickly at the bottom, which is quite broad,
with only a small tap-root. It grows largely

Giant Half Sugar

above the soil and is easily haiwested. It yields
an enormous bulk on good land, and can be
grown closely in rows.

KLEIN WAUZLEBEN— This variety has

proved to be a very valuable sort, on account
of its richness in saccharine matter, thus dem-
onstrating its superiority for feeding purposes.
Roots rather long, slender growing into the
ground. A great yielder.

MAMMOTH LONG RED — This is the heaviest
cropping and largest of all mangels. The roots
grow from one-half to two-thirds above the
surface and are frequently two or more feet in
length by six inches in diameter. Dark, richly
colored foliage, skin dark red; flesh white
with veined rings of rose-pink.

All varieties of Mangel Wurtzel and Sugar
Beets: Oz., 15c; 2 oz., 25c; 14 lb., 40c; 1/2 lb.,

70c; 1 lb., $1.35; postpaid. At purchaser’s ex-
pense, 1 lb., $1.25; 5 lbs., $6.(K); 10 lbs., $11.00.

CULTURE — For early cabbages sow the seen
in a hot-bed in March or April, covering the-
seed from to an inch deep and, when t4g
enough, transplant to another bed. As soon as
the ground is in good condition transplant, out-
side, in rows 2 feet apart and 15 to 20 inches in
the row.

A great quantity of cabbage seed has always
been imported from Europe, and as this source
of supply has been entirely cut off, the natural
result follows, namely, a general shortage with
prices more than double that of former years.

Copenhagen Market

CLOVER LEAF COPENHAGEN MARKET—

This superb new cabbage is undoubtedly with-
out a rival as the finest large round-headed
early cabbage in cultivation. The type is thor-
oughly fixed, the heads maturing all at the same
time (this being a great consideration to mar-
ket gardeners, entailing less labor in harvest-
ing the crop, and allowing the ground to be
cleared at the first cutting). The heads aver-
age about 10 pounds each in weight, are very
solid, with small core and of fine quality. It
matures a little later than the Early Jersey
Wakefield, and will give a much heavier yield
per acre than that popular variety. The plant is
short-stemmed, the heads being produced almost
on the ground level. The leaves are light green,
Tiather small, saucer-shaped, and always tightly
folded. The plants, therefore, can be set closer
than is usual with varieties of similar size. Are
grown for us in Denmark under special con-
tract. Pkt., 10c; oz., $1.00; 2 oz., $1.80; !4 lb.,
$3.25; 1/2 lb., $6.00; 1 lb., $11.00.

EARLY JERSEY WAKEFI ELD— The earliest
and hardiest heading of extra early cabbages.
Most gardeners depend upon it for the bulk of
their extra early crop. Heads conical, very com-
pact, solid and of excellent quality. The thick,
stout leaves and compact habit make it the
best sort for very early setting. Pkt., 2 for 15c;
oz., 75c; 2 oz., $1.25; !4 lb.. $2.25; 1/2 lb., $4.25;
1 lb., $8.00.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Cultivated for the small heads that grow in
considerable numbers from the main stem. It
is a delicacy much esteemed by some. Sow in
seed bed middle of spring and transplant and
manage as winter cabbage. Pkt., 2 for 15c; oz.,
35c; 2 oz., 60c; 14 lb., $1.00.

Cabbage

Cabbage is recognized as a crop that usually
can be depended upon for good returns. The
cost of seed per acre is very small, but the qual-
ity of seed you obtain is all important. Do not
sacrifice quality. Obtain the best. Our seed is
secured from the most reliable growers, gives
best results, and better satisfaction than the
ordinary strain of cabbage.

We want to call special attention to four va-
rieties:

CLOVER LEAF COPENHAGEN MARKET.

CLOVER LEAF DANISH SUMMER BALL
HEAD.

CLOVER LEAF DANISH BALL HEAD.

CLOVER LEAF ROUND HEAD.

In the cabbage family these four varieties are
specially recommended, and we take just pride
in the perfection of the types we have secured,
and have full confidence that they will prove
to our customers all we have claimed them
to be. j

CABBAGE— Continued

Late

Second Early

ALL HEAD EARLY — This excellent second
early market sort produces heads that are very
large for so early a cabbage and of very good
quality. It is desirable not only for general
spring planting but by planting late it can be
used as a fall and early winter cabbage. The
variety is well adapted for kraut. The plants ^
are compact, with few outer leaves which are
comparatively smooth and rather thick. The
stem is short. The heads are solid and flat but
very deep.

ALL SEASONS — The heads are extreme^
hard and solid, round, flattened on top. It is
called “All Seasons” because it is as good for
autumn or winter as for earlj'’ summer.. The
plants are very vigorous and sure heading, with
few outer leaves which are large and fairly
smooth or slightly waved. It is remarkable for
its ability to stand the hot sun and dry weath-
er, remaining an exceptionally long time in con-
dition for use. Sometimes sold as Vandergaw

CLOVER LEAF DANISH SUMMER BALL
HEAD — The Danish Summer Ball Head Cab-
bage is taking the place among the early varie-
ties that the Danish Ball Head holds among the
later sorts. It is a second early, extremely hard,
long-keeping and of superb quality. It resem-
bles the Winter Ball Head quite closely, except-
ing that it is smaller and slightly flat on top.

It has traces of curliness on the outside leaves
and delicate flavor that suggests Savoy blood.
Color is light green, very small, with fine ribs
in the leaves.

DANISH BALL HEAD.

EARLY WINNINGSTADT— One of the best
of the second early or medium early sorts, very
hardy, with a very hard sharply pointed head
and a very sure cropper. Owing to its compact
and upright habit of growth and peculiar text-
ure of its rather short and thick, dark green
leaves, the variety resists cold, wet and insect
pests exceptionally well. The heads are of me-
dium size, very closely wrapped, sharply conical,
of good quality. The leaves are dark bluish
green.

Early Jersey Wakefield

CLOVER LEAF HOLLAND OR DANISH
BALL HEAD — Short stemmed. Genuine Danish
grown stock. Most remarkable late cabbage yet
produced. This is one of the hardiest cabbages
in cultivation, and endures both frost and
drought that would destroy other varieties. The
plants are hardy and compact; leaves very
smooth, but thick; heads of medium size, round
and very solid, being the hardest heading cab-
bage and of the very best quality. Matures
quite late, keeps well and is considered by many
the best cabbage toi keep until spring.

CLOVER LEAF DANISH ROUND HEAD—

An earlier, shorter stemmed, improved strain
of the Danish Ball Head cabbage. The heads
are hard and very solid and mature about two
weeks in advance of the Ball Head. They also
average a little larger and heavier. The inner
leaves are blanched almost pure white, are of
sweet flavor, crisp and tender.

DRUMHEAD SAVOY— The best variety of Sa-
voy or crumpled leaf cabbage. The plant is vig-
orous, with short stem, has densely crumpled
leaves and when touched by frost is sweet,
delicate and delicious. The head is large and
very solid.

FLAT DUTCH, SELECTED— A low-growing
variety; heads large, bluish green, round, solid,
broad and flat on top; an excellent fall and
winter variety and a good keeper; it is a sure

first-class carrot for all soils. The root is of
a rich, dark orange color and grows very
smooth and handsome. Very productive, pro-
ducing as much tonnage to the acre as the
longer field sorts, and is much easier harvested.

HUTCHINSON. — During
the past years the Danvers
Half Dong Carrot has been
the most popular on the mar-
ket for general purposes. The
Hutchinson is a decided im-
provement over Danvers
Half Dong, and is briefly de-
scribed as follows: An elon-
gated type of Danvers, hold-
ing its shape well to the
blunt end, of very high color
and an enormous cropper. Tt

1919 SEED CATALOGUE

CAULIFLOWER
is one of the best
paying crops that
can be sown. The
seed is among the
most expensive.

Perhaps there is
not any other seed
that varies so much
in price. It is so
expensive that
some growers save-
seed from all their
plants, while others
make a very care-
ful selection, using
only perfect plants
from which to save
their seed. It there-
fore follows that
seed saved by the
latter plan will be
much more expen-
sive, but much bet-
ter than seed sav-
ed by the former
plan.

CULTURE— The
soil for cauliflower
should be like that
for cabbage, but is
better if made rich-
er than is ordina-
rily used for that
crop. It should be
borne in mind that
cauliflower will not
head up good in
hoL dry weather,
and hence the sow-
ing should be so
regulated as to
bring it to matu-
rity either before
the hot summer
w^eather sets in or
not until the cooler
weather of the fall.

After the heads begin to form, draw the leaves
over and pin or tie them together to protect
the heads from the sun and keep them white.

Early

CLOVER LEAF SNOWBALL (Best Imported
5 Strain)— This is an improved extra early strain
' of dwarf, compact growth. Under favorable cir-
cumstances nearly every plant will make a fine,
I' solid head ol good size. It is valuable for both
early and late. Pkt., 20c; 1/2 oz., $2.25; oz., $4.00;
' 2 oz., $7.00; 1/4 lb., $13.00.

DANISH GIANT OR DRY WEATH ER— Large
' leaved, with pure white compact heads. It is
I truly a first-class cauliflower and is specially
' adapted to drv locations and to resisting the ef-
fects of drouth. Two weeks later than the
Snowball, w^hen planted at same time. Pkt., 20c;
1/2 oz., $2.25; oz., $4.00; 2 oz., $7.00; 1/4 lb., $13.00.

Late

AUTUMN GIANT — A distinct and valuable
late variety. The heads are reasonably large,
beautifully white, firm and compact, and, be-
ing well protected by foliage, remain for a long
time fit to use. The plants should be started
and transplanted early in the season to insure
their full development. Pkt., 2 for 15c; oz,, $1.50;
2 oz., $2.75; 1/4 lb., $5.00.

Cauliflower

Snowball

Celery

It is a fact not generally recognized by the
planter, and not generally referred to by seed
houses, that there are only a few places that
produce celery seed of such quality that would
warrant it being sown. This is accounted for
by the fact that it takes a rare and peculiar
combination of soil, climate and conditions to
produce this seed to perfection; hence it fol-
lows that the seed produced under these favor-
able conditions will be much higher in price
than the ordinary seed, especially when we re-
member that such favorable conditions are li^i^-
ited.

CULTURE — Sow in light, rich soil, in shal-
low drills, and cover the seed lightly with finely
sifted mold. When the plants are 5 to 6 inches
high transplant to rows 3 to 4 feet apart, ac-
cording to the variety, allowing 8 inches be-
tween the plants in the row. Cultivate freely
and earth up to blanch the stems, pressing the
soil firmly around the plant almost to the top,
care being taken not to cover the tops of the
center shoots.

Early

WHITE PLUME — A very popular variety on
account of its naturally white leaf stalks, which
require less blanching than the other kinds. It
is early, a fine market sort, and the variety

mostly used by gardeners. Pkt., 2 for 15c; oz.,
40c; 2 oz., 75c; 'A lb., $1.25; A lb,, $2.00; 1 lb.,

shaped, very smooth, tender and marrow-like.
The roots are cooked and sliced: Tised with vin-
egar they make an excellent salad.

GIANT PASCAL— One of the most popular
sorts for winter use. It is very large in growth;
the stalks are exceptionally thick with very
heavy hearts which, when blanched, are of a
beautiful creamy yellow color. Very brittle and
of a superb flavor.

WINTER QUEEN — A very fine variety for
winter storage. Robust, stocky growth, requir-
ing but little labor in blanching. The heart
stalks are heavy, broad and solid, but crisp and
tender, blanching to a rich, creamy white.

three cars of Onion Sets to
supply our trade — 45 tons.
In the history of Spokane
there has never been a seed
house that has sold as many
Onion Sets as this in one

Corn— Sweet

CULTURE — Sweet corn should not be planted
deeper than one inch to one inch and a half, as
it is liable to rot in the ground, especially if the
ground has not become warm. Hoe often, draw-
ing the earth against the stems and break off
the side shoots.

First Early

WHITE CORY

EXTRA EARLY— One
of the earliest varieties
well and favorably
known in all parts of
the country. It succeeds
well where the
are short, and can be
recommended for gen-
eral planting. Ears six
inches long, with eight
rows of broad grains.

EARLY MINNESOTA
— This deservedly popu-
lar variety is one of the
best second early sorts
for the market and the
home garden. The stalks
are about six feet high,
bearing one or two ears
well covered with husks.
The ears are about eight
inches long, eight row-
ed; kernels very broad,
white, sweet and ten-
der, not shrinking much
in drying. By careful
selection we have de-
veloped a stock of this
standard variety which
is remarkably uniform
and in which all the
good qualities that have
made this sort so desir-
able are intensified.

GOLDEN BANTAM — Of extreme hardiness,

this can be planted earlier than any other
sweet corn, and will then produce the earliest
supply of ears for the table. The stalks grow
from three and one-half to four feet in height
and produce one or two good ears on each stalk.
The ears are about six inches in length, com-
pletely filled with eight rows of golden-yellow
grains, extending to the rounded tip.

QUALITY — The flavor is deliciously distinct,
exceptionally rich and sugary, the sweetest of
all, superior to that of any other corn. Of all
varieties the name “Sugar Corn’’ seems to fit
this best as it is so unusually sweet. The de-
cided preference shown for it in market, res-
taurant and home has enabled many growers to
sell Golden Bantam at a premium. It is so
unique in appearance that all who have ever en-
, joyed the golden yellow ears recognize them in-
stantly. One cannot forget such splendid qual-
ity.

CORN — Continyed

HOWLING MOB — This variety has become
very popular on account of its earliness, and
its possessing the sweet flavor of the later va-
rieties. The stalks are of strong vigorous growth,
four and one-half to five feet in height, have
abundant foliage and generally produce two fine
ears to each stalk. The ears measure seven to
nine inches in length wdth twelve or fourteen
rows of good-sized pearly-white grains. They
are covered with a heavy husk which extends
well out from the tip of the ears and affords
good protection from the gre^n worms which
are so often destructive to early varieties.

PEEP O’ DAY — For earliness, flavor, sweet-
ness and productiveness it is ahead of any oth-
er early white sweet corn. It will prove a mon-
ey-maker fur the market gardener, and a val-
uable addition to our list of corn for our short
western summers.

Corn-Field

Corn growing Is becoming more and more
a staple product in the Northwest and experi-
ments have shown that with carefully prepared
fertile soil the difference in seed has made a
difference in the yield of double the bushels
per acre. It has been fully demonstrated that
home grown seed will mature a great deal bet-
ter than seed secured from the East. We there-
fore draw special attention to our home grown
Minnesota King and our home grown White
Cap Dent.

Dent, Yellow

MINNESOTA No. 13 — The commanding points
of excellence which place Minnesota No. 13 Corn
at the head of all yellow dent varieties for
Northwestern planting are: Its earliness, its

enormous productiveness, its adaptability to a
great variety of soils and climates. The ears
are of handsome appearance, bearing 16 to 20
rows of bright, rich yellow, smooth, wedge-

shaped kernels packed closely on the cob from
butt to tip. The ears average eight Inches In
length and are borne usually two on a stalk. No
corn excels in quality the Minnesota No. 13;
the cobs are well filled and the individual ker-
nels plump and of good color. The stalks grow
to a height of seven feet and being leafy make
excellent and very nutritious fodder. A variety
of corn which shows such valuable characteris-
tics is an acquisition on any farm, especially
for planting In the Northwest where early frosts
are common.

MINNESOTA KING
(Home Grown) — We
regard this corn in
some respects as the
most valuable early
corn for the Inland
Empire. It seems to
possess a faculty of
growing right along
and making a crop
during weather and
under conditions that
would ruin other vari-
eties. In appearance
the Minnesota King is
remarkably distinct,
being a half yellow
dent; the kernels are
very broad and are a
rich golden color.

PRIDE OF THE
NORTH — This is a
standard early variety
of corn in the East,
but is not sure to ma-
ture here. From the
fact that it produces a
large amount 'Of fod-
der and being early
enough to get in prop-
er condition for ensil-
age, it has taken the
lead over all other
corns for this purpose.

Yellow Dent.

WHITE CAP (Home Grown) — This has been
very successfully grown in this locality for a
number of years and has proved very satisfac-
tory. Our grower never had a better crop than
he had this past season. The seed we are of-
fering was grown a few miles from Spokane. It
ripens early and matures well. Stalks grow to
a height of 10 feet and produce 14 and 18 rowed
ears that are solid and handsome. This being
fully acclimated will mature under any reason-
able conditions.

It’s early. Productive. Fully acclimated.
Very highly recommended. A sure cropper.

CRESS

PEPPER GRASS (Curled) — The leaves, , when
young, have a warm, pungent taste, and are
used as a salad, either alone or mixed with oth-
er salad plants. As they are milder and more
tender when young, the seed should be sown at
intervals of 10 to 15 days, making the first sow-
ing as soon as the ground can be prepared.

CULTURE — Plant in hills about four feet
apart each way; thin out to four of the strong-
est plants in each hill; they succeed best in
warm, moist, rich, loamy soil. The cucumbers
should be gathered when large enough for use,
whether required or not; if left to ripen, it de-
stroys their productiveness.

till nights have become warm, as the least frost
or cold nights will greatly retard their growth.

ive of all autumn and winter salads. It is most
appetizing when served mixed with lettuce, with
French dressing. Sow seed from middle of June
to last of August.

BROAD LEAVED BATAVIAN— Leaves are
broad, thick, green, more or less twisted and
waved with white mid-ribs. It forms large

ing odor and flavor. Belongs to the onion fam-
ily and cultivated much in the same manner.
We cannot offer seed, but can supply the bulbs
or sets.

This is extensively used in many places for
flavoring soups, stews, etc. The sets should be
planted early in spring and treated like onions.

THE INLAND SEED C O.’S

KALE OR BORECOLE

Kale, or Borecole, is a kind of cabbage that
does not form a close and solid head, but a
cluster of beautifully curled or* wrinkled leaves
that are tender and of excellent flavor. It re-
quires the same treatment as cabbage, and is
very hardy, being improved by frost.

KOHL-RABI

The Kohl - Rabl
is a vegetable in-
termediate between
the cabbage and
turnip, and com-
bines the flavor of
each. The edible
part is a turnip-
shaped bulb. When
used for the table
this should be cut
when quite small,
as it is then very
tender and deli-
cate, but if al-
lowed to reach Its
full size it be-
comes tough and
stringy.

BIG BOSTON, (Seed White) — This market va-
riety is very popular for outdoor culture and is
also in demand as a compact, large heading,
forcing sort for cold-frames. The plants are
large, very hardy and vigorous. The leaves are
broad, comparatively smooth but wavy at the
edge, thin, very hard and crisp. In color they

yellow. It heads up under cold weather condi-
tions better than any other variety.

GRAND RAPIDS, (Seed Black)— As a lettuce
for greenhouse forcing this variety undoubtedly
stands at the head of the list, being of quick
growth, little liable to rot and standing for some
days after being ready to cut. This plant is
upright and forms a loose head or cluster of
large, bright leaves, slightly crimped and blis-
tered and rather thin.

Musk Melons

There is not anything more refreshing than a
fine flavored musk melon or canteloupe. It may
seem strange to some that the selection of the
seed should have anything to do with this
flavor. There is a flavor peculiar to each dis-
tinct variety, and this can only be obtained
w'hen the varieties are kept up to their well-
known standard, and they can only be kept up
to this standard by a very careful selection of
the melons from which the seed is saved. Our
growers have always this thought in mind,
hence the seed furnished us by our careful
and intelligent growers will give best results
on account of its careful selection,

CULTURE — The seed should not be planted
until the soil has become thoroughly warmed,
about corn-plainting time. Plant five or six
seeds to the hill, in hills four to six feet apart.
Rich soil or well-rotted manure should be used
in the hills.

tained in an incredibly short time a national
reputation. It is of the Netted Gem type, oval
in shape, averaging from four and one-half to
five inches In length, of a delicious flavor, very
fine and smooth grained flesh, of a light green
color throughout.

This melon has proved to be very profitable,
hence popular on account of its superior qual-
ity and its ready sale on the market.

POLLOCK’S RUST-RESISTANT— Mr. Pollock
originated the melon bearing his name by se-
lecting seed from a plant which had not rusted
out of a field that the rust had destroyed. This
point has been observed in selecting stock seed
until the melon, while not being perfectly rust-
proof, is practically so. The main difference
between it and the original Rocky Ford is more
uniformity.

Salmon-Fleshed Varieties

BANANA — This is a Banana Melon of a ba-
nana shape, banana flavor, banana color and
banana quality; it resembles the banana in
many respects, only that it is very much larger,
growing from 18 to 30 inches -long and from 4
to 6 inches in diameter. Everybody who is fond
of bananas will take pleasure in growing and

ing about 414 inches in diameter by 6 inches ^
long, flesh of a reddish orange, very thick, fine;|
grained and spicy, seed held firmly in a trian^t'
gular cavity. This is the secret of a good ship^ ^i
ping melon. If the seeds shake loose easily
melon will quickly decay. ;

EMERALD GEM — This is a variety of excel-
lent quality and of medium size. The skin,
white-ribbed, is perfectly smooth and of a deep
emerald green color. The flesh is thick and of
a deep salmon color, and ripens to the green
rind. The flavor is very sweet and luscious.
The vines are hardy and very prolific, and the
melons mature extremely early.

HOODOO — Sometimes sold as Ordway Queen.
This is an orange fleshed variety of medium I
size, ideal as a shipping melon and a desirable
mid-season sort for the home garden. The vines
are vigorous, blight-resisting and very product-
ive. The fruits are uniformly of medium size.
The netting is exceptionally fine and dense, ex-
tending over practically the entire surface. The
rind is thin yet very firm, so that the melons
arrive in perfect condition in distant markets.
The flesh is very thick, firm, highly colored, of
fine texture and delicious flavor.

sweet, extremely thick, and delicious to the rind.

It is also very productive. It is a remarkablcs^
keeper, and will stand shipping. If

SPECIAL MUSK MELONS

We call special attention to the three follow-
ing types of melons. Melons, like a great many
other things, have undergone a great improve-
ment in type and quality, but none any more
so than the following types;

CLOVER LEAF GOLD LINED ROCKY FORD

— Regarding this melon our grower says: We

have carefully inspected every strain and
type of Rocky Ford Cantaloupe, and we believe
this to be the very best type, for all purposes,
that there is in existence. It is an ideal crate
melon, as fruits grow uniform, and loss from
undersize and oversize is very small, and its
quality can not be excelled. Medium size, solid
net, gold lined or inner lining of yellow, small
seed cavity, excellent quality, vines hardy,
thrifty and rust-resistant.

Pkt., 2 for 15c; oz., 25c; '2 oz., 40c; 'A lb., 65c;
1/2 lb., $1.10; lb., $2.00.

ROCKY FORD PINK MEAT— The Pirrk Meat
Rocky Ford is the same general type of melon
in appearance as the Gold Lined, with netting
a trifle finer. Better shipper than the old type
green fleshed Rocky Ford. Flesh pink and of
excellent flavor. The Pink Meat Rocky Ford
Cantaloupe has become very popular in the
last two or three years. Its shipping qualities
are excellent, quality ail that can be desired,
and we believe is destined to be very popular.

HONEY DEW

The Originator’s History of the “Honey Dew’’

The original seed of this new melon was se-
cured from a melon shipped from Africa to New
York City. This seed was planted at Rocky
Ford, Colorado, and crossed with the genuine,
original “Rocky Ford” cantaloupe by poleniza-
tion. The following season this hybrid seed was
again crossed with the Improved Hybrid Cas-
saba.

It is as sweet as honey and has the mingling
of several flavors — pineapple, banana and va-
nilla predominating.

I named the melon “Honey Dew.” It is as
sweet as honey and has the mingling of several
flavors — pineapple, banana and vanilla predom-
inating.

The average size of the melon is six inches
in diameter and seven to eight inches in length,
weighs five to six pounds. The skin is smooth
with an occasional net, is a creamy yellow when
ripe. The flesh is an emerald green, very thick,
melting, and verv fine grained, can be eaten
to the extreme rind. The seed cavity is very
small, the rind imper\dous to water, the melon
does not shrink in weight, is not easily bruised
and is a splendid shipper.

It matures about ten days later than the
Rocky Ford strains and is very prolific.. The
melon slips from the vine when ripe and
will keep for several weeks; the late maturing
ones may be kept until Christmas. Will grow
where Rocky Ford varieties will thrive.

Watermelons

Watermelon seed, like all other seeds, should
be selected from true types and from melons
that have attained a large growth and ripened
early. This method will produce and preserve
true strains, while the generally followed plan
of saving seed from all melons in a field with-
out reference to size, shape, or time of ripen-
ing, will cause types and quality to deteriorate.
Our growers give a great deal of time, thought
and expense to the thorough selection of the
seed furnished us. Under these conditions we
are obliged to pay a higher price for the seeds
we secure than we would for ordinary seed, but
we have the great satisfaction of knowing that
we are supplying our customers with a very
much higher grade of seeds than is usually sup-
plied by seed houses.

CULTURE — Watermelons thrive best on light,
well drained soils, but give good results on any
good rich garden soil that is properly drained
and cultivated. Plant after the weather is set-
tled and ground warm. Hills should be eight
feet apart each way and wdth well rotted ma-
nure thoroughly worked into each hill.

some, long, oval s|jape, averaging about 18
inches in length, and about six inches in diam-
eter. The skin is an attractive, very dark
green, the flesh is of a beautiful bright red, ex-
tending almost to the outer rind. The rind,
too, is so thin and brittle that it cracks open
very easily and will not stand hauling or ship-
ping long distances. Pkt., 2 for 15c; oz., 15c; 2

Onions

It is readily seen, that there Is a great vari-
ety and diversity in the shape, color, size, and
flavor of onions, also in their keeping qualities.
The keeping is due in some respects to the dif-
ferent varieties, but the care bestowed upon the
selection of the bulbs of the various varieties
has much to do to improve their keeping quali^
ties. The time and labor given to this special
care and attention adds to the cost, but it is
well worth the additional cost to the planter,
as it insures better keepers, more uniform type;
also a greater yield. Our bulbs and seeds re-
ceive the necessary care to insure better re-
sults.

CULTURE— Onions do best on a rich loam,
previously cultivated for two years. The land
should be highly fertilized with well-rotted ma-
nure, or complete fertilizers. Culture should be
frequent, though shallow. The same ground
may be used for onions season after season, if
well fertilized annually. Bone meal is an excel-
lent fertilizer.

Brown

AUSTRALIAN — Of medium size. Wonderful-
ly hard and solid, the bulbs are most attract-
ive for market, both as to form and appear-
ance. The color of the skin is a clear amber
brown. Specially noted as a long keeper as it
keeps well into spring and much longer than
any other varieties. Pkt., 2 for 15c; oz., 25c; 2

RADISHES

THE SECRET IN GROWING GOOD RAD-

ISHES consists chiefly In the observance on the
part of the grower of three points. First, they
should be grown on light soil. Second, they
should be given plenty of water; and last, but
not by any means least, the right kind of seed
should be sown. Radishes grow very quickly,
and If not supplied with plenty of water are apt
to be pithy.

Turnip-Rooted, Early

CRIMSON GIANT — The largest early scarlet
turnip-shaped radish. A very early radish,
double the size of any of the other early turnip-
shaped type, but notwithstanding its immense
size, does not get hollow and pithy. The flesh is
1 sparkling white, solid, crisp and juicy, and of
the mildest flavor. Excellent for both forcing
and open ground.

SCARLET GLOBE — Similar in form to the
Scarlet Turnip-Rooted, but much darker in col-
)r; flesh white, very crisp and tender, top small,
?eell adapted for growing in frames.

I Scarlet White Tipped.

SCARLET, WHITE TIPPED— The favorite
I ariety for outdoor cultivation; medium size,

uniform shape; color bright scarlet, with white
tip, which makes it most attractive. It grows
quickly; flesh white, crisp and of the best
quality.

white. Pkt., 2 for 15c; oz., 20c; 2 oz., 35c; 14 lb.,
60c; 1/2 lb., $1.00; lb., $1.75.

Long, Late

CHARTIER, IMPROVED— Roots long, taper-
ing rather abruptly and attaining a very large
size. Of rapid growth, it is soon ready for the
table, remaining crisp and tender until fully
grown. Color, scarlet above, shading into white
at the tip. Flesh white and mild flavored.

ICICLE, WHITE — The finest of the pure white
varieties. They are long and slender and clear,
pure white, making them very attractive when
on sale and on the table. It is crisp and tender
both when young and until it attains a large
size, thus remaining in condition for use for
considerable time. Roots grow four inches in
length and half an inch in diameter; they re-
tain their crispness and fresh mild flavor until
fully six inches long and an inch in diameter.

White Icicle

LONG SCARLET, RED— The leading vari'ety
either for the family or market garden. From
six to eight inches long, standing nearly half
above the ground; bright scarlet, smooth, crisp,
tender and mild.

lar because it remains fit for use a long time
and does not get pithy. Sometimes called the
Sandwich radish.

Turnips

The value of Turnips and Ruta Bagas for feed-
ing stock in fall and winter is not fully appreci-
ated, as they are much liked by all kinds of
stock and serve to keep them in good condition.
We recommend that farmers increase their sow-
ings largely, for we are sure the crop will prove
remunerative for stock feeding as well as for
table use when the roots are comparatively
small.

Both of these wholesome vegetables are very
easily affected in their form and flavor by soil,
climate, and mode of culture. The turnip plant
is distinguished from the ruta baga by its
rougher leaves; the root usually matures earlier
and is smoother and more symmetrical.

CULTURE — For early use sow as soon as the
ground can be worked, in drills 15 to 18 inches
apart, and half an inch deep. For winter use,
sow during July, as early sowings are unfit for
winter use.

SWEET PEAS

No garden is too small for a row of Swee
Peas, and no estate, however extensive or mag
nificent, should fail to include many varietie
of this most popular flower. Hundreds of varl
eties have been offered for sale by seedsmeim
but owing to recent marked improvements man
sorts are decidedly inferior and have been drof|
ped from our list.

CULTURE — Early in spring make a trenc
three to four inches deep in rich, mellow soi
so arranged that no water can stand in it an ['
plant the seed in the bottom, covering at fir;
only one inch deep. Sweet Peas, particular)
the white seeded sorts, are often a little dil
ficult to start. If the soil is too dry they wi
remain a long time without germinating; if

Is too wet and 'cold they will not sprout at all.
In soils at all heavy, or composed largely of clay,
put about one inch of sand In the bottom of the
trench and sow the seed In this, covering with
more sand. Cover the row with a board to shed
the rain and protect the soil from the hot sun
but remove this as soon as the young plants ap-
pear. When the plants are two inches high,
cultivate and as they grow gradually fill up the
trench. When the plants are about five inches
aigh it is desirable to furnish some support for
the vines to run upon. The roots should not
De allowed to become too dry. Water applied
horoughly once or twice a week, preferably
jarly in the morning or in the evening, is usual-
y better than light sprinkling more frequently,
rhe blooms should be picked before they form
)ods or the plants will soon stop flowering.

The standard is a scorching fire-red or rich
orange-scarlet, which scintillates and glitters in
the bright sunlight with a glowing, fire-like
sheen that radiates over the entire flower, in-
cluding the rich, cherry-orange wings. Fiery
Cross can be growm anywhere without danger
of burning. The color defies description.

creamy base. The wings, large and well ex-

Clover Leaf Gladioli Mixtures

CLOVER LEAF MIXTURE— Gladioli mixtures
can be purchased at almost any price and un-
der almost any name, and it is a difficult mat-
ter for the purchaser to decide which is best.
Our advice would be not to purchase small bulbs
simply because they are quoted cheaper. Dif-
ference in cost is far more than compensated foi

in the better satisfaction obtained by planting
the larger bulbs.

This year we are offering our Clover Leat
Mixture in two sized bulbs, the only difference
being difference in size, as the mixtures are ex-
actly alike.

These mixtures are made up of Kelway’s Seed-
lings, and varieties that in some way have got
separated from their labels or markings.

The real worth of Kelway’s Seedlings are well
known and recognized, and by putting in all
named varieties that for any reason have be-
come unidentified, or which we wish to discon-
tinue, assures the most Ideal mixture that can
be secured.

No. 1 Bulbs: >/2 doz., 30c; doz., 50c; 50, $2.00;
100, $3.50.

No. 2 Bulbs: 1/2 doz., 25c; doz., 40c; 50, $1.50;

100, $2.75.

LILY OF THE
VALLEY— One of the
most satisfactory and
charming spring flow-
ering plants, prodticing
in profusion its deli-
cate bell-shaped de-
lightfully fragrant
white flowers. Lillies
of the Valley thrive in
any common soil, are
perfectly hardy, and
will succeed in shady
situation. It is al-
most impossible to se-
cure any of these this
season, but we believe
we have our stock se-
cured and hope to be
able to fill all our or-
ders in full. 4 for 25c;
doz., 60c; 50, $2.25;

100, $4.00.

Paeonies

There is no hardy perennial which equals the!,
Paeony in beauty and usefulness. Once planted,
the plants and flowers increase in size and
beauty with age. They are as hardy as oaks
and as handsome (many as fragrant) as roses. I
When the plants are through blooming they are,
as handsome and ornamental as most of the!
hardy shrubs. The plants are practically im-|
mune from insects. We would advise our cus-j:
tomers to beware of “cheap Paeonies. An in- 1
ferior variety will take as much care and space
as a choice one, and the first cost of a Paeonj
is nothing compared to the disappointmeni

THE

NLAND SEED C 0/S

Thie importance of a good foundation Is read-
ily acknowledged and this fact holds as good in
the vegetable kingdom as under any other con-
ditions, therefore it is of the greatest importance
to select and plant only root^ and plants that
have been grown from a good ancestry. It is
liklewise true that one cannot always tell these
things by merely looking at the plants or roots,
therefore it is usually best toi make your pur-
chases from a house that has won for itself a

reputation by square dealing and by furnlshlr
good, reliable stock. The selection of our set:
is always given the utmost care, and then oi
plants and roots are attended to in such a wa
that insures the best growth and development.

We are able to supply the transplanted plan'
in most varieties, and would recommend thes
especially where there are only a few wantei
We would also recommend the 2-year-old roo'
In preference to 1-year-old.

STRAWBERRIES

AROMA — Among the best of the late rlpen-
ng varieties. In comparison with the Gandy, it
vlll be found that it commences to ripen a little
:arller and will continue to the end of Gandy’s
reason and is similar to it in size and product-
veness. Quality the best of any, comes nearer
>eing the true strawberry flavor than all others,
ts shipping qualities are of the best.

CLARK'S SEEDLING— This variety originated
n our state, a seedling of the old popular Wilson
'ariety. Like the Hood River, a near relation, it
s unsurpassed as a shipping variety and in some
ections very prolific.

GANDY — A variety that has not yet today
ound its equal as a truly reliable and all-round
ate producing berry. The plant is a rampant
,'rower, having strong fruit stems, holding a
leavy weight of the fruit erect; slow in forming,
.nd maturing, therefore coming into the market
<^hen the early and mid-season varieties are
bout done fruiting.

GLEN MARY — A bright, handsome, prolific,
tandard sort, grown the country over and per-
ectly reliable. Some large growers claim for
his the par excellence in strawberries.

GOLD DOLLAR — An extra early variety orig-
aating in California. It is very productive and
Teat promises are made for its future place in
he strawberry world.

HOOD RIVER — The leading standard shipping
ariety. The berry that has made the town of
ts name famous, and its growers financially
ich. Dark red color, uniform size, good qual-
ty, but not heavy in yield. A specialty berry

ning.

MARSHALL — Produces remarkably large
beautiful fruit, resembling the far-famed Glen
Mary, that we are pleased to add it to our list
and put it in the Magoon and Senator Dunlap
class, which is sufficient to guarantee its favor.

OREGON— This variety is of late introduction ’
and somewhat resembles the old Wilson type of
a strawberry. With a fadeless, dark red ex-
terior; the deep red color is extended clear to
the center of the fruit. Exceptionally fine for
canning and attractive in the box. Any variety
that we offer will fertilize it except Gandy or
Aroma.

SENATOR DUNLAP — Its color is a rich dark
red, with glossy finish. It has become a very
popular variety, perhaps on account of its uni-
formity.

WARFIELD — The most popular pistillate va-
riety grown. It is a large, beautiful, cone-
shaped berry with a fadeless, dark red exterior;
the deep red color is extended clear to the cen-
ter of the fruit. Exceptionally fine for canning
and attractive In the box. Any variety that we
offer will fertilize it except Gandy or Aroma.

WM. BELT — Nothing better for quality, shape
and attractiveness. A reliable and trustworthy
variety; ripens evenly; prolific and will meet
the expectations of the most fastidious.

THE INLAND SEED C O.’S

Seed Potatoes

CULTIVATE — Potatoes can be grown in any soil, provided it is well drained, but, if grown
on sandy, rich soil, they will be of better quality than if planted on clay soils. Sod land is
most excellent for this crop. It is best to put the manure on one year before the potatoes
are to be planted, and in no case raw stable manure should be used, as it is liable to give the
scab. In cutting potatoes for planting, do not cut the pieces too small and be sure to have 1
to 3 eyes on them. The constant use of very small tubers should be avoided, or they are likely
to run out. The sets should be planted from 3 to 4 inches deep, according to the time of plant-
ing, in rows 3 feet apart and 16 to 18 inches in the rows.

Early

OHIO — A leading early sort, earlier than the
Early Rose, but not so productive. Round, short,
and thick tubers, smooth and solid; cooks dry
and mealy and matures very early.

rose — This variety has been a great favorite
for many years and many growers still claim
that it has never been excelled in quality and
productiveness. Potatoes are long in shape, good
size and light pink in color at the bud end. They
cook mealy and are of the finest flavor.

SIX WEEKS — This is recognized as being one
of the very earliest varieties grown, and in ad-
dition it is also one of the best yielders of the
early varieties. Besides these two very im-
portant advantages, it possesses a third, namely:
Its quality; and quality is the great
pivotal point at which we are aiming
in the production of all our seeds,
plants and roots.

BURBANK — Continues in good de-
mand and is more largely used than
any other. It is of good size, of fine
form and an excellent yielder. The
flesh is white, very mealy and of fine
flavor and quality.

Late

MacGREGOR — This new, late po-
tato originated in Manitoba about six
years ago and it immediately became
a general favorite. In appearance it
closely resembles the old, well-known
Carmen No. 3, same shape, with nice
white netted skin, a grand good cook-
er at all times, a remarkable keeper
and a tremendous yielder. One of the
most noticeable features of this potato
is its wonderful vigor.
netted gem —The hardiest, most
vigorous in growth,
most productive, and
the best in table
quality of all pota-
toes. It has proved
to be unequaled for
main crop. The vines
are strong, w i t 1
deep green foliage.

In form the tubers
are medium long.

The eyes are small
and there is very
little w’aste in par-
ing. The skin is thin
and very smooth
with the exception
of very small de-
pressions which give
it the appearance ol
being netted and
from which it de-
rives its name. Th(
flesh is fine grainec
and cooks up mealy
white. It is very free
from scale and one

of the very best keepers on the market.

Medium

IRISH COBBLER — The tubers are roun
somewhat flattened with rather deep eyes ar
are medium to large in size. The skin
smooth, finely netted, and white in color. Fles
white of fine quality and flavor.

This is a very vigorous grower, far less liab
to knot and crack than many varieties and
nearly immune to the internal brown spot tlu
affects some other sorts. It is a splendid shii
per.

M ICH IGAN — This is a second early, rath<
ong, white potato, which produces in time 1
■'ommand the high early market prices and y(
yields a crop which compares favorably with th
standard late kindsi and twhce as heavy as th
earlies.

PURE CULTURE INOCULATION

Help Your Crops— Enrich Your Land

Legumes, when inoculated, enrich the soil with
nitrogen to grow good crops of any kind. Nitrogen
is the most important plant food — and expensive to
buy in commercial fertilizers. The air is four-
fifths nitrogen — the soil is full of air — but plants
cannot absorb it without the aid of nitrogen gath-
ering bacteria. Legumes without the presence of
the proper bacteria rob the soil of nitrogen, mak-
ing it poorer, the same as do other crops, and
since nearly all soils are short of nitrogen, it is
very important that legume crops should be soil-
builders not soil-robbers.

Grow Better Crops

WHICH

IMPROVE YOUR LAND

Some soils may contain enough of the proper
bacteria, however, many soils do not. Legume
crops not amply supplied with the nitrogen gather-
ing bacteria do not do full work in improving the soil, but on the contrary may be wearing
it out. Since the importance of these bacteria is an established fact, it is most advisable
to make sure of having crops well supplied. This can be done by using reliable inoculating
cultures on the seed before planting. NODULE-BACTER is the highest grade — most suc-
cessful inoculation for all the legume seeds. NODULE-BACTER is a pure culture, or growth
of nitrogen gathering bacteria. When applied to the seed of legume crops large quantities
of nitrogen is made available. This nitrogen is made available in the little nodules or
swellings attached to the plant roots, thus this valuable fertilizer — nitrogen — is stored in the
soil for crops that follow.

Save Fertilizer Expense

Nodules or Nitrogen Sacks
Produced with Nodule- Bacter.

A one-acre package of NODULE-BACTER used on a leguminous crop will gather and
store nitrogen equivalent to* 1000 pounds of nitrate of soda and at the same time greatly
increase the growing crop both in size and feeding value.

We supply these cultures to our customers for the reason that they produce the best re-
sults of any on the market and are sold at reasonable prices. When you buy from us you
save fully 50% on the cost of your inoculation and get the best.

Clover

Great care should be exercised in purchasing
grass and clover seeds. This is even more im-
portant than with other seeds, for, on account
of being perennials, and the land not being cul-
tivated, the farmer has not an opportunity to
cultivate and thus destroy any weed seeds that
might be sown with grasses and clovers.

Owing to the market changes we cannot quote
prices. When ready to buy write us for prices,
stating quantity wanted, or if you send money,
we will ship seed to cover amount sent.

Alfalfa or Lucerne

Alfalfa has long been
in many states and is
fast becoming in this
state a crop of inestim-
able value. Its chief
merit lies in the fact
that it may be cut from
2 to 4 times a season,
each cutting bringing
enormous yields of '
sweet and nutritions for-
age which is much rel-
ished by all kinds of
stock. Care should be
taken when cattle are
first turned in not to al-
low them to overfeed, as
it is liable to cause
bloating. It is an ex-
cellent soiling crop and
makes the best hay when
properly treated, being
in itself the nearest ap-
proach of any farm
product to a perfect ration,
sown broadcast at the rate of 10 to 15 pounds
per acre about the middle of April or earlier,
should the ground be in good condition, without
a nurse or cover crop. The soil must be deep,
rich and well drained, and the seed bed well
prepared.

The seed should never be sown on heavy, sticky
clay land where water stands a short distance
below the surface.

The seed should be

GRIMM ALFALFA — While what it known as
the common alfalfa is the most popular and
almost exclusively used, still there has been
for a number of years other named varieties
each claiming to be superior to the common
alfalfa. The most widely advertised of these
varieties is what is known as Grimm alfalfa.
The originator of this variety has the fol-
lowing to say concerning it: “The Grimm al-

falfa is much hardier than the ordinary kinds,
and there is even strong reason to believe that
it is the hardiest form of the cultivated plant.
It not only endures extremely low tempera-
tures with or without snow and other adverse
conditions, but it can be cut with greater
safety late in the fall and will bear more
abuse in the way of pasturage than any other
plant that has been compared with it until
this time There is some disagreement among
investigators as to how Grimm alfalfa obtained
its hardiness, but there is no difference of
opinion that t is hardy. Grimm alfalfa is
cheaper than common alfalfa as it requires
less seed per acre because of its large stool-
ing habit, another reason for requiring less
seed in seeding an acre is that the little plants
are more persistent in establishing themselves,
Grimm alfalfa is cheaper than common alfalfa
because it will hold its stand and not thin
out after the first severe winter. Because
of its branch root system it will grow over
a hard plain soil, and is adapted to wetter
soil than the other alfalfa.

SUDAN GRASS was introduced Into the Uni-
ted States in 1909 from Sudan under the name
Df Garawi. One-half pound of seed was re-
ceived and the results were so very promising
that plans were immediately made for testing it
out thoroughly in all parts of the United States.
As a result of these tests the Department of
Agriculture reports that Sudan Grass will be
of the greatest value in the states that ahe de-
ficient in rainfall. These dry regions have no
other satisfactory hay crop and Sudan Grass
will be of immense value there.

Sudan Grass is strictly an annual and dies
each year, reaching a height of from seven t(
nine feet. The stem.s are small and rarel:
thicker than a lead pencil. The plant stool';
wonderfully and produces under favorable con
ditions as many as 100 stalks from a single root

All stock relish the hay and thrive on it
Yields of from two to four tons per acre an
common and under irrigation they run as higl
as eight to ten tons to the acre.

SEEDING — Sudan Grass should not be plant
ed until the soil has become warm in the spring
Planting in cold soil only delays germinatioi
and dwarfs the early growth. It can be sowi
any time during the summer as a catch cro]
so long as 70 to 80 days intervene before th
date of the first expected frost. Sudan Gras
can be sown in rows 18 to 42 inches apart an.
cultivated like corn, or it can be drilled in wit:
a grain drill or sown broadcast by hand. I
the semi-arid sections it is much more profit
able to seed it in rows and cultivate. The row
should be as close together as the tools avail
able for cultivation will permit. Seeded in row
36 to 42 Inches apart. 2 to 3 pounds per acre o
good seed are sufficient. In rows 18 to 2
inches apart 4 to 6 pounds, and drilled or broad
cast 16 to 24 pounds per acre are required.

HARVESTING — ^When cut for hay it is bes
to cut just after full bloom, so that it will hav
as much time as possible for a second growtl
After cutting it renews its growth promptl
when moisture conditions are favorable, and i
about 40 to 50 days another cutting is readj
The grass stools abundantly after first cutting

It is interesting to note that while Suda
Grass is very drouth-resisting and makes goo
yields in dry sections, it also does exceedingl
•well under irrigation and under the latter con
ditions makes enormous yields of hay.

Summing it all up, Sudan Grass is a hay cro
which seems to be especially adapted to th
drier regions of the western states. There 1
always a big demand for hay and it is hard t
estimate the value of a grass that will produc
with certainty a good crop of hay In our west
ern states.

Lawn Grass

A beautiful lawn adds greatly to the appear
ance of a home. In the making of a la’wn tw
things are very important, namely: preparatio
of the seed bed, and quality of the seed sown.

The most important thing to consider In se
lecting seed for lawn grass is to obtain a prope,
mixture of several varieties, for two reasons
First, each variety is at its best during a cer
tain part of the season. By properly choosin
early, medium and late grasses, a smooth, ever
green la-;\m is assured from early spring to lat
autumn. Second, a given area can support onl
so many grass plants of one kind, for they a
absorb the same sort of food, but if several va
rieties are so-wm, the same area will suppoi
many more plants, as different sorts live o
various elements in the soil. With these fact
in mind our Clover Deaf mixture has been sci
entifically combined. Our experience of man
years has given us an intimate knowledge c
grasses, their habits and requirements. Strang
ers visiting Spokane frequently comment upo
the beauty of our public parks and lawns. Or
Clover Leaf mixture is iised very extensively o
both of these, in fact there is more of it use
than all other mixtures combined.

In order to keep a lawn continually beaut’
ful, it should receive frequent applications (
fertilizers.

Millets

The Millets are a valuable crop for the far-
mer who has lost his seeding, or for some other
reason expects to be short of hay, for in 8 or
10 weeks from sowing it is ready to cut for hay.

Hungarian and Siberian Millets are the earlier
varieties. Millet can be sown as early as the
middle of May, or as late as July 10th, although
when sown July 10th, the crop comes so late in
September that it is hard to cure on account of
the cool weather and shorter days.

Write for prices on Millets, stating quantity
wanted. All Millets, 25c, lb., postpaid.

HOG — Very rich and thus especially valuable
as a hog food. A very much prized peculiarity
of this millet is that the seed ripens while the
stem is yet green; thus, if cut promptly can be
threshed for the seed, while the hay after be-
ing threshed will make excellent fodder.

HUNGARIAN — Is of fine growth, and makes
an excellent hay. It has numerous succulent
leaves, which furnish an abundance of green
fodder, relished by all kinds of stock.

JAPANESE — Is of recent introduction and
great claims are made for it as to productive-
ness and value as a forage plant. Its intro-
ducers say that it is a marvelous grower and
luxuriant stooler. Recommended highly for
feeding dairy cattle, young stock and sheep, be-
ing very rich in nutritious elements. Grows
from four to seven feet tall, but is not harsh
and woody, as other grasses are. In some sec-
tions of the country it is known as Barnyard
Millet, while in other parts of the country it has
been erroneously introduced under the name of
Billion Dollar Grass by some seed houses.

LIBERTY or GOLDEN — This grows very
rank and is one of the best varieties for hay
or fodder. On good rich soil it will make a
growth of 4 or 5 feet high, and although the hay
may seem coarse, yet it is so tender that if cut
at the right stage, which is when in full bloom,
even the hogs will eat the cured hay quite
greedily.

SIBERIAN, OR RUSSIAN— Is claimed to be
the most wonderfully productive and satisfac-
tory forage plant, possessing in a superior de-
gree all the essential merits of any of the older
sorts. The claims made by its introducers are
that it is from two to three w^ks earlier than
the Liberty Millet, is a much lieavier cropper,
that the hay is much finer, stalks more elastic
and grows much taller, that it is rust-proof,
and being of stooling habit, requires much less
seed per acre.

WHITE WONDER MILLET— A Russian sol-
dier, serving in the Russo-Japanese War, dis-
covered this wonderful millet in China. He put
a little of the seed In his knap-sack and when
the war was over he came to the United States
bringing his precious packet of seed with him.

White Wonder Millet has been raised In West-
ern Kansas for several years and it is just as
hardy and vigorous as other millets.

The most striking feature of White Wonder
Millet is the size of the heads. The heads will
run from eight up to eighteen inches and a
single head will have as many as 15.000 seeds.

The yield of White Wonder Millet is extreme-
ly heavy, being fully half again as heavy as that
of Liberty Millet. Some growers of White Won-
der Millet claim that it will outyield other mil-
lets three to one.

Another very desirable feature of White Won-
der Millet is its earliness. This variety is much
earlier than Liberty Millet, but not quite as
early as the Siberian variety.

The foliage is very heavy, the leaves broad,
and therefore produces an immense amount of
excellent fodder which cures very readily.

We believe that on account of the earllness,
the immense yield of both grain and fodder, and
the very vigorous growth which leave the
pound clean. White Wonder Millet will soon
take first place among millets. Write for prices

Peas, Field

Field Peas are a very profitable crop and
should be grown very extensively. They can be
grown alone or with oats. When planted with
grain and cut green they make a large amount
of very rich feed; also very valuable for en-
riching the soil if plowed under. The dry peas
make excellent hog feed and are quite fattening.

the other varieties of field peas, less liable to
crack in threshing, has finer straw and makes
better fodder, and the peas are green in color.
Lb., 20c, postpaid.

COW — Cow Peas are more tender than Can-
ada or Field Peas and should not be sown until
corn planting time. Cow Peas, being of very
rapid growth during the warm weather, can be
sown as late as the middle of July with reason-
able assurance of a profitable crop, either for
harvesting or plowing under. Are really small
beans of vigorous vining habit and heavy foli-
age of great nutritious value, yielding five to
nine tons of green feed per acre.

SPRING — A
pealike plant
grown exten-
sively in Eng-
land and to a
considerable ex-
tent in Canada
for stock feed-
ing, but not as
much used in
the United^

States as it
should be. Lb.,

25c, postpaid.

WINTER-
SAND OR
HAIRY (VIcIa
Villosa) — This
is a very val-
uable forage
plant — and be-
coming more
popular every
year. It belongs
to the pea
family, but the
vines are much
longer and the
foliage more
abundant — it
improves the
soil, being a
great nitrogen
gatherer. It is
advisable to
sow oats, barley or rye, etc., with Vetch, which
serves as a support for the plants. It succeeds
on almost any soil and should not winter klU.

A sowing in August or September covers the
ground before winter and prevents washing dur-
ing the winter and early spring. Can also be
sown in April and will be ready to cut by the
middle of July, the second growth affording ex-
cellent hog pasture during the summer. The
yield of forage varies from ten to fifteen tons
per acre, equal to three or four tons when cured
as dry hay. Lb., 40c, postpaid. Write for
prices on vetches, stating variety and amount
wanted.

Buckwheat

JAPANESE — This variety excels all others;
yield much heavier; ripens one week to ten
days earlier; stands up better and makes bet-
ter flour. Excellent for bee pasture. Lb., 25c,
postpaid.

SILVER HULL — A very good and popular
variety. Grain is of light gray color; has a
thin husk; matures early and yields heavy. A
good milling variety. Lb., 25c, postpaid.

BROOM CORN, IMPROVED EVERGREEN—
This is the most popular variety of broom corn
to grow for the market, the brush being firm
and of good length, and retaining the light
green coloring when properly cured. Lb., 25c,
postpaid.

EGYPTIAN CORN (also called Jerusalem
Corn or Dhoura) — One of the non -saccharine
sorghums, requiring the same growing condi-
tions. Seeds well in dry sections. Producing
small heads on side shoots up to eight on a
stalk, the seed is larger than Kaffir corn; yield
is heavy. See our notes on Sugar Cane. Lb.,
25c, postpaid.

KAFFIR CORN— Grows 4 to 5 feet high. The
stem or stalk bears numerous wide leaves.
The stalks are brittle and juicy, not hardening
like other varieties of sorghum. It makes ex-
cellent fodder, either green or dry, which is
highly relished by cattle and all kinds of stock.
See ouD notes on Sugar Cane. Lb., 20c, post-
paid.

FETERITA — A^wonderful new grain which has
attracted much favorable attention in Kansas,
Missouri and Oklahoma. It Belongs to the Sor-
ghum family. Was introduced from Africa by the
United States Department of Agriculture. The
advantages claimed for Feterita are its drouth-
resisting qualities, its heavy yield, its earliness,
its stooling propensities and its freedom from
insect posts. Feterita has successfully withstood
dry weather in Kansas and other states.. It
branches very freely from the roots, making a
single stool. It is from two to three weeks
earlier than Kaffir Corn. See remarks under
Sugar Cane relative to a thorough trial. Lb.,

LENTILS — Succeed best in dry, sandy soil. A
leguminous annual, the Seeds of which are valu-
able for pigeons and are used largely for soups.
The leafy stalks make good forage. Crop failure. ;
feed. Crop failure. "

MILO MAIZE — This is one of sorghums sim-
ilar to Kaffir Corn. Grows erect, with thick,
close-jointed stalk. Height, 4 to 7 feet. Heads |
are very large, giving a heavy grain yield; is
drouth resistant, and succeeds on alkali soil.
Plant late when ground is warm. See remarks

MISCELLANEOUS FIELD SEEDS— Continued

SUGAR CANE Is supposed to be grown to ad-
vantage any place where you can produce a
good crop of corn. In sections where it can be
grown profitably It has several advantages over
fodder corn, as it Is said to produce more feed
and to be more drouth resistant. It Is highly
recommended for feed for cattle, sheep and
pigs. From our knowledge of this article and
our knowledge of the Inland Empire we would
recommend the farmers to give this a thorough
trial, but do not think It would be wise to go
into it extensively until you have demonstrated
that it can be grown profitably in your particu-
lar location.

EARLY AMBER — This is the earliest, rich-
est and altogether the best sort for northern
latitudes. As a fodder plant w'e believe this ex-
cels all other varieties, as it is sweeter, contains
more nutriment and is more relished by stock.
Lb., 25c, postpaid.

SUNFLOWER, MAMMOTH RUSSIAN— Tlie
largest and most productive variety. Heads
often 12 to 20 inches across. Every farmer
should plant a few rows at least. It makes
one of the very best of foods for poultry; a
great egg producer. Lb., 25c, postpaid.

Write us for prices on all field seeds, stating
kind and amount wanted.

GRAIN

The great importance of sowing thoroughly
recleaned grain is getting to be more and more
recognized by the progressive farmer. Besides
being thoroughly recleaned the seed should be
selected with the greatest care, as there are
sometimes foreign seeds in the different grains
so nearly the size of the grain itself it becomes
almost impossible to make a separation. In
selecting grain for seed purposes it should be
selected because that each grain has been well
filled and thoroughly matured, because It has
all ripened at the same' time, and because of its
freeness from all seeds that can not be sepa-
rated from the grain. In selecting our grain
for seed, all of the foregoing points are taken
into consideration, then it is given a thorough
recleaning, and as a result we are able to put
on the market a strictly number one article.
Kindly write us, asking for prices and state the
amount wanted. Stating the amount is very
impojtant, as we do not know whether an in-
quirer wants one hundred pounds or a ton. In
case amount is not stated we always quote
price on a small amount. You are therefore de-
priving yourself of our best prices should you
want a quantity.

Write for prices on all varieties of grain, stat-
ing kind and amount wanted.

Wheat

There Is wheat and wheat, and it Is penny
wise and pound foolish to sow inferior quality.
This inferior quality may be because the grains
have not been fully developed or on account of
impurity, or on account of Improper cleaning.
We guard against all three, hence our quality
Is right.

Winter — Jones Fife, Martin Amber, Gold Coin.

Spring — Biuestem, Marquis. Eariy Bart.

• Early Marquis possesses three remarkable
qualities: Remarkably early, exceedingly pro-

ductive, unexcelled in milling qualities.

Earliness — lit is from one week to ten days
earlier than Red Fife. This is important, as
this week or ten days may mean the difference
between a full crop and a failure or a partial
failure.

Productiveness — Marquis Wheat has outyield-
ed all other Spring Wheat, with the exception of
Early Bart, grown under the same conditions of
soil, cultivation and climate. The increased
yield varies from 5 to 10 bushels per acre.

Quality — Marquis Wheat has by numerous
milling tests shown a higher percentage of
gluten, a bettel* color, greater absorption and
heavier weight per bushel of grain.

Appearance — Marquis Wheat is similar in ap-
pearance to Red Fife, but the heads, as a rule,
are heavier and the straw is shorter, making it
less likely to lodge. The kernel is flinty, a
little darker in color than Red Fife, being dark
red, and more plump than that variety. It is
beardless, having smooth, yellow chaff.

EARLY BART — This variety has only been
introduced this last two or three years into the
Big Bend section, and results obtained have
been very satisfactory. It is a white variety,
very large grains — larger than the Biuestem —
and a very handsome wheat in appearance. Its
milling qualities are such that the millers pay
the top price for it. It is a very heavy yielder,
surpassing all of the old standard varieties, and
some claim that it will outyield the famous
Marcus wheat. It is bearded and much less
liable to shatter than any other variety.

Oats

We handle the Bonanza, Swedish Select, Sil-
ver Mine, Lincoln, Senator and other standard
vaiieties. These varieties have all proven to
be well suited to the Inland Empire, and are
the varieties mostly grown and recommended.
Our quality will be as good as careful selection
and recleaning can make them.

We desire to draw special attention to our'
Silver Mine and Senator Oats.

SILVER MINE — This oat has made a repu-
tation for itself as a great yielder and very re-
liable. It is hardy and the kernels are a beau-
tiful white.

SENATOR — The quality of this oat must be
seen to be appreciated, as the grains are much
larger in this variety than in any other that we
know of, hence an immense yielder.

Barley

WHITE HULLESS — A grand barley for stock
feeding. Grain plump, heavy, and when thresh-
ed is hulless like wheat. A heavy cropper.
When grown and cut for hay it produces a
magnificent fodder, which is very rich and al-
most equal to a grain feed. Much relished by
horses and stock of all kinds. An excellent hog
feed.

Its Valuable Properties

It’s hulless; it’s beardless; it’s very early.

It weighs over 60 pounds to the measured
bushel.

It yields well on poor land.

It yields enormously on good land.

Crop failure.

BEARDLESS — Two strong features distin-
guish the Beardless Barley above all other bar-
leys; first, its great yielding qualities; second,
its freedom from the troublesome beard. It is
on this account not only much more agreeable
to handle in threshing than other barleys, but
it is much safer and better to feed to live-stock.
As a fattening agent for swine Beardless Barley
is particularly valuable. Owing to our past dry
summer this is almost a complete failure and
it is doubtful if wet can secure enough of this
for our trade.

THE INLAND SEED C 0/S

Rye

Rye is a valuable and very hardy crop, pro-
ducing green fodder either in the early spring
or late fall. It matures before other crops come
in and can be sown on soil too poor for other
cereals. Rye does not exhaust the soil as do
other grains and can be cultivated longer on
the same land than any other crop on the
farm.

SPRING RYE — -Spring Rye is an excellent
catch crop where winter grain has been killed
out, or for sowing where a full crop has not
been planted. If desired it can be turned under
and made to answ'er a good purpose in adding
to the fertility of the soil. Spring Rye has been
almost impossible to secure the past few years
and is also scarce this season again. We have
secured a limited supply, and would therefore
suggest the advisability of placing your order
early. Price, 100 lbs., $6.50.

WINTER RYE — The value of Winter Rye is
becoming more apparent every year. It is much
hardier than wheat and can be grown on a
greater variety of soils, even on soil that would
not produce a fair crop of wheat. It will thrive
even in dry seasons and on light sandy loam.
It is grown not only for grain, but for fodder
and soiling purposes. When sown in the au-
tumn it starts up very early in the spring and
is often plowed under, as it adds greatly to the
fertility of the soil. Price $5.50 per 100 lbs.

Kill the Smut in Your Grain

If there is smut in your grain destroy it by
using bluestone or formaldehyde. This trouble
is becoming very prevalent, and must be de-
stroyed if wheat is to keep up its high grade of
milling qualities.

Fertilizers

Most soils in the Inland Empire are yet fairly
new. Their native or virgin fertility is not yet
exhausted. There are, however, many differ-
ent types of soils, some of which do not nat-
urally contain very large supplies of the dif-
ferent elements of plant food needed by -crops.
Such soils are likely soon to “run out” and need
application of fertilizers carrying the particular
elements in which they are deficient. These
can best be restored to or built up in fertility
by the use of fertilizers to stimulate increased
growth until the soils can be propertly brought
back into good condition. Write for prices on
all fertilizers, stating amount wanted.

SUPER. PHOSPHATE — This is what is
known as Acid Phosphate, being Phosphate
rock treated with acid to make the Phosphate
Acid available. The Phosphoric Acid in this is
more quickly available than it is in bone meal
and for that reason is sometimes more useful.
It contains 20 per cent Phosphoric Acid, and is
generally used at the rate of 500 lbs. to 1,000
lbs. per acre.

NITRATE OF SODA — Contains 13 per cent
Nitrate, in quickly available form. It is used
for forcing crops like lettuce, celery, etc., as
it makes a large growth of leaves and tops.

Apply the Nitrate of Soda by broadcasting it
evenly over the entire surface of the vegetable
field you are fertilizing, at the rate of 200
pounds per acre, before seeding, or planting, or
transplanting.

KAINIT — It contains 12.4 actual Potash and
contains Potash both in the forms of Sulphate
and Muriate. It contains Salts of Magnesia and
also common Salt. Kainit can be used upon
the crops for which Muriate of Potash is recom-
mended.

SULPHATE OF POTASH— Contains 60 per
cent Available Potash. This is similar to Muri-
ate of Potash but is free from chlorides, and
can be used to advantage in some instances
where the muriate can not be used. Use about
one sack to the acre.

MURIATE OF POTASH— Contains a larger
percentage of Potash than other commercial
forms, and is, therefore, cheaper where it can
be safely used, but owing to the Chloride It
contains, is not best for some crops unless ap-
plied a few months previous to planting, which
allows the Chloride to leach out while all of the
Potash is retained until taken up by the plants.

LAND PLASTER OR GYPSUM — Made from
pure Gypsum, free from clay or other foreign
matter. This is especially valuable for clover
and grass crops. 100 lbs., $1.00; 500 lbs., $4.50;
1/2 ton, $8.00; ton, $15.00,

ANIMAL FERTILIZERS— Most of them con-
tain both Nitrogen and Phosphoric Acid, but do
not contain Potash, so that to make them com-
plete it is necessary to add the correct propor-
tion of chemical fertilizers. All the different
ingredients are found in our Clover Leaf Fer-
tilizer.

BONE MEAL — This contains 3 per cent Nitro-
gen and 22 per cent Phosphoric Acid. It is
slower in action, but will not dissolve and waste
in the soil, as the plant food contained in the
Bone Meal is released only 'as fast as the roots
of the plants take it up. 100 lbs., $3.25; 500
lbs., $16.00; 1/2 ton, $31.00; ton, $60.00.

TANKAGE — This is a slaughter-house prod-
uct and has very little odor. The analysis shows
5 to 7 per cent Nitrogen and 12 to 15 per cent
Phosphoric Acid. 100 lbs., $3.25; 500 lbs., $15.65;

!/2 ton, $30.00; ton, $58.00.

BLOOD MEAL — A quick-acting fertilizer an-
alyzing very high in effective Nitrogen. This
also carries some Phosphorous; is a strong fer-
tilizer, a little going a long way. 100 lbs., $7.50;
500 lbs., $36.25; 1/2 ton, $70.00; ton, $135.00.

SHEEP MANURE — This is the best and
strongest in fertilizing and enriching elements,
as it contains Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid, Am-
monia and Potash in liberal proportions. Pro-
duces immediate and lasting effect. Promotes
steady and rapid growth.

FOR LAWNS — Pulverized Sheep Manure is
the best possible fertilizer for the lawn. It
should be applied by sprinkling lightly over the
grass, much as one would sow grass seed. It
requires no raking in. The color is not con- 1
spicuous and there is no objectionable odor,
tilizer, a little going a long way. 100 lbs., $1.75.

Also foul weed seeds, odor, bulkiness, is ex-

Years of experimenting, demonstrating and
getting at FACTS have shown that the public
wants FULL and EXPLICIT information and
NOT generalities.

Just remember there are twelve elements that
go to make our earth and all thereon.

Usually all elements are found in sufficient
quantities in the earth, with exception of the
three most essential properties, viz: Nitrogen,
Phosphoric Acid and Potash,

Gromore contains all of the 12 elements and
is proportioned so as to come in combination
with one another and the elements in the earth,
unlocking and releasing the dormant elements

from the earth so that the plant finds its food
readily available, is one of the many reasons
why Gromore gives such splendid resuita.

The drill is detached and the tool frame sub-
stituted by removing but one bolt. It then be-
comes a single wheel hoe. It is useful almost
every day of the season, at every stage of the
garden work. With this one Implement the
small farmer can do practically all the work
in his small crops.

This tool is known and used the world over.
The hopper holds three pints, and sows in an
even, regular stream, whether there is much
or little seed in it. The machine is extremely
simple, has no agitators, belts or gearing, and
will not injure the seed. From a drill it is
changed to its other uses by removing two
bolts, when hoes, cultivator teeth or plows can
be quickly attached. It is a practical every-
day time and labor saver, a grand remedy for
the backache, and the best low-priced com-
bined machine on the market.

GRASS SEEDERS

WHEELBARROW — They run easily, and sow evenly in windy weather. The quantity of seed
sown is accurately governed by the wheel, which moves correspondingly slow or fast as the ma-
chine runs over the ground. This seeder is constructed on up-to-date principles. It has a strong
steel wheel, 32 inches in diameter, with an inch and a quarter by one-quarter inch steel tire,

CHEMICAL SQUIRREL TUBE

The greatest exterminator of all animals that
burrow in the ground.

The chemical squirrel tube is endorsed by the
Pullman College and Moscow University.

The main secret of this Smoker is the inner
tube, which allows the machine to remain com-
paratively cool, and the force draft from the
high-speed fan direct into the mouth of the hole
gives a constant pressure of a continual flow
of poisonous fumes. Take a blind hole or one
that has only one opening and the result Is a

continuous flow that will cause a circulation,
whereas a pump would cause a stagnation of
the fumes and air. Its work is rapid and its
effects are sure. Experiments have proven that
squirrels and gophers expire almost instantly
when they come in contact with the deadly
smoke or gas.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE— The chemical used
is carbon bisulphide. Fill tube two-thirds full
of old sacks or any kind of waste, saturate with
chemical, and blow fumes in the hole.

DO NOT LIGHT, AS IT WILL EXPLODE—
For smoking, old sacks or dry manure has no
equal. With about one pint of sulphur to each
load this can be used with very little cost to
the farmer.

Fifty cents’ worth of sulphur will clean 100
acres of badly infested land.

Fill in all holes that smoke escapes from.

If directions are followed success is sure.

Price, $12.50.

Pilot Spray Pony Spray Rod Master Pilot
Rod Spray Gun

PILOT SPRAY ROD— The Pilot Spray Rod is
a highly improved spraying gun, suitable for
use either with power sprayers or the larger
size hand outfits. Two or three of these can be
used, with a power sprayer, and give excellent
results. The operation of the Pilot Rod is iden-
tical to that of the Bean Giant and Bean Pony
Spray Guns, excepting that it has a smaller ca-
pacity and a different system of controlling the
nozzle, and is driven much further than with
the ordinary bamboo extension rods and nozzle.

small and reduces the pressure considerably.

From Full Fog; Through Long Distance Spray
and Back to Cut-off — The master Pilot Spray
Gun throws a full penetrating spray. Its oper-
ation is very simple. One-quarter right turn of
the handle produces full fog spray, and com-
plete half turn produces long-distance spray.

hole, without ground plugs or expensive replace-
ments and is instantly operated by complete
half turn to the left. The operator can stand
in one place and spray from bottom to the top of
the trees or vice versa), simply by turning the
handle of the gun, thus regulating the force of
the spray. The Master Pilot Spray Gun throws
a spray to the tops of the tallest trees. It is
only three feet long and is easily carried any-
where. Simple — durable — efficient — easy to

The Ideal

This pump does away en-
tirely with the objection-
able foot-rest, clamps,
leather suction, packing,
etc. It requires no fast-
ening of any kind and
holds itself down and
works anywhere and
everywhere. All the oper-
ator need do is to press
the plunger down. It rises of it-
self, the upward stroke being made
by a brass spring forcing the cylin-
ders apart.

The all-brass suction working
within a brass cylinder with all
brass valves, does away entirely

I with all leather, rubber, or other

packing. It is practically impos-
sible for any part to get out of
order.

Everything except handle and
hose is solid brass.

Is the easiest working and will
do more different kinds of work
than any pump ever made. Will pump from a
pall, barrel, tank, spring or creek. Without
fastenings of any kind it stands firmly wher-
ever placed.

SPRAY MATERIALS AND IN-
SECTICIDES

The secret of successful spraying lies in
knowing the correct time in which to spray.

The very important fact that thoroughness in
spraying is one of the main points should be re-
membered. Many failures can be traced to the
lack of thoroughness.

It is also important that the orchardist should
become familiar with the name and character
of the different diseases and pests. If the dis-
ease is not known apply to your inspector for
information. Specimens of diseased fruit or
leaves, or other portions of trees or plants, may
be forwarded to your state experiment station
without cost, w'here a careful microscopical ex-
amination will be made and the disease identi-
fied.

Arsenate of Lead

Arsenate of Lead is a chemical combination of
lead and arsenic. The arsenic is the poisoning
agent. The lead serves two purposes — it acts as
a binder, holding the arsenic upon the foliage
and forms a strong chemical union with the
arsenic, which causes foliage Injury.

Powdered

Grasselli Dry Powder Arsenate of Lead mixes
luickly and easily; stays mixed longer and is
very adhesive. Dry Powder Arsenate is a light,
fluffy powder that cannot freeze, dry out, cake
or lose its strength.

Grasselli Dry Powder Arsenate of Lead may
be mixed with water and applied as a liquid

THE INLAND SEED C 0/S

spray or it may be used as a dust spray. If
applied as a liquid spray it is usually used 1
pound to 1V2 pounds to 50 gallons of water. For
potato beetles and other insects that are hard
to kill use two to three pounds to 50 gallons of
water. If used in the dust form it may be ap-
plied as received by finely dusting on the foli-
age or it may be mixed with an equal bulk of
freshly burned wood ashes or powdered lime.

SOLUBLE SULPHUR COM-
POUND

It is ready for the user to add the water and
in an instant have a true sulphur solution. It
dissolves readily, it being necessary to stir for
a few moments only as the material is put in
the water. Once dissolved it remains In solu-
tion for an indefinite time.

One hundred pounds of Soluble Sulphur Com-
pound makes more spray than a fifty-gallon
barrel of thirty-three degree lime-sulphur solu-
tion weighing over six hundred pounds, thus ef-
fecting a saving on freight charges.

There is no leakage, no freezing, no crystal-
ization. It should be used on all kinds of trees
and shrubs in spring, before buds open, for
Scale, Aphis, Curl Leaf, Mildew, and as a gen-
eral clean-up; and later for control of Scab and
Fungus diseases.

Soluble Sulphur Compound will keep indefi-
nitely, without loss of strength, if the can is
kept tightly covered and in a dry place.

on the plants by the maggot fly. This fly dis-
likes the odor of the spray and will not deposit

best results the ground should be sprayed freely
before planting, then again as soon as the vege-
table comes up and before the maggot fly makes

KILMOL— Squirrelgophene

Kilmol is the name given to a recent discovery
made by the United States Government. This is
used for the extermination of squirrels and go-
phers and results obtained are 100 per cent ef-
ficiency. Careful tests under Government su-
pervision have proven that Kilmol is the most
effective and economical exterminator that has
yet been discovered. The cost of clearing your

SEED C O.'S

field of these pests averages from 18
cents per acre.

The gas made by vaporizing Kilmol
waste ball is much heavier than air and
to the bottom of the burrow. Only a oi»ia,i ,,
amount escapes even though the surrounding i],
ground be full of cracks. It is practical to us<lj
Kilmol. '

Gallon, $2.50; 5 gallons, $9.00. Not mailable. |

Waste Balls |

DIRECTIONS' — Put one hundred and twentjfj
waste balls in a bucket, and pour over them on(i
gallon of Kilmol. Use one waste ball to eacl j
burrow. After a lapse of from three to flv( 1
minutes ignite the gas in the burrow . with s i
match or torch. Cover the opening with dirt i|
packing it closely to prevent the escape of th<
poisonous fumes .

Another method is to roll the ball into the [
burrow, and close the opening tightly without
exploding. This is used when the ground is !
dry and there is danger of fire. By the firing !
method the efficiency is from 98 to 100 per cent I
Without exploding, 95 to 98 per cent.

Kilmol is the only liquid that will give this
percentage of efficiency. No other material will
give more than from 75 to 85 per cent. The 15 j
to 25 per cent that are not killed necessitates
going over the land at least twice and often
three times. Once over is sufficient when Kilmol
is used. 100, 75c; 500, $3.25; 1,000, $6.00. 100

safety of the fruit; second, speed in picking.

from this fastener and the fruit may then be
gently deposited in the boxes, through the now
open lower end of the sack. Two broad shoulder
straps Insures comfort to the picker even when

THE INLAND

PRUNERS

SEARIGHT — This has a com-
pound lever head and is made
with a hook and side lever. It
is calculated for heavy work and
will cut a limb up to 1% inches
in diameter. Instead of run-
ning the rod connecting the
knife lever along one side the
pole to a handle lever, the han-
dle lever has been placed on
the opposite side, which allows
the rod to cross the pole. As a
result one-half of the strain is
thrown on one side of the pole
and one-half on the other,
which gives about double
strength.

The strength, durability and
easy cutting qualities of these
trimmers will appeal to both the
merchant who handles them,
and the man who may have the
pleasure to use them.

You no doubt have noticed that most of the

of a very light lacing wire. This wire soon
rusts out, and then the basket falls to pieces.

Please note the construction of the basket
here shown and you will readily see that the
different wires are electrically welded together,
thus forming a solid construction, making all
parts equally durable, and thus making it im-

INCUBATORS

Columbia Hot-Air Incubators

Standard Cyphers Incubators

These are machines that for nineteen years
and more have been recognized as the “Stand-
ard hatchers of the world.” Tens upon tens of
thousands of them have been sold and are in
successful use in every civilized country on the
globe. They are used by more Government Ex-
periment Stations, more large, practical poul-
try plants, on more successful duck and egg
farms, and by a larger number of foremost poul-
try breeders than all other makes combined
They are the last word to date in incubator
building, not a penny being spared anywhere in
their construction to make sure of tneir doing
satisfactory work In all climes, under widely
different conditions, in the hands of all sorts of
people. They are built to hatch and to last.
With ordinary care they should last an ordi-
nary lifetime. Every Standard Cyphers Incu-
bator is guaranteed by the manufacturers to do
first-class work in the hands of every purchaser
who will give it a fair trial. 244 egqs, $42.50 •
390-400 eggs, $50.00.

Are built to meet the wide-spread demand for large capacity
lamp-heated machine that can be sold at surprisingly low prices
and yet be guaranteed to do high-class work. Have wooden
cases, attractively finished in dark green, with brass trimmings
and double walls. Seamless-bottom lamp bowls, best quality
brass burners, zinc and steel Standard Cyphers toggle-joint

ered and metal banded. Automatic in ventilation and embodies
diffusive principles. Roomy chick nursery under egg trays.
Made in two sizes. 140 eggs, $20.00; 250 eggs, $27.50.

Superior Hot-Water
Incubators

These machines are ex-
actly what the name says.

They are heated by hot
water, instead of hot air,
and are “superior” in every
detail. The water boiler and
tank (tubular) are of heavy weight copper. Lamp has seamless
bowl; burner is best on market. Incubator case is of wood, at-
tractively finished in golden brown, with brass trimmings and
has double walls, with air space insulation. Are equipped with
Standard Cyphers zinc and steel toggle-joint thermostat and
knife-edge regulator. Have forced water circulation and are
automatic in ventilation. Roomy chick nurseries. 130 eggs, $22.50.

We have contracted for three cars of Onion Sets to supplyjour
trade — 45 tons. In the history of Spokane there has never

been a Seed House that has sold this many onion sets in one

season.

THE INLAND SEED C O.’S

The Peerless Automatic Incubator

Small enough to give the greatest efficiency
in hatching. Large enough to give the greatest
economy in operation. Cheap enough so that
any man or woman who wants to make money
in poultry can afford it.

HEAT, MOISTURE, VENTILATION, ALL
AUTOMATIC.

We all know the important connection between
heat, moisture and ventilation in an incubator.
To pi’eserve an even and constant balance be-
tween these three vital features has been the
great problem among incubator manufacturers.

The heating system is a masterpiece of sim-
plicity. The heated air is conveyed upwards
through the egg chamber to the heat distributor.
The heated air from the lamif never enters the
egg chamber directly.

Moisture is supplied by an open water jacket
which surrounds the heat flue. Thus center
heat is eliminated and it is an absolute fact
that the inside of the egg chamber is not a frac-
tion of a degree warmer at the heat flue than at
the center or outer edge.

The action of the regulator is governed by the
expansion and contraction of a sensitive double
wafer thermostat. There is only one adjust-
ment-just simply turn the single adjusting
screw and you set the thermostat.

The entire egg chamber is reached by simply
lifting off the top and placing it on the holder
provided for it.

Made entirely of metal with the exception of
the glass top. through which the entire interior
of the machine can be inspected without opening
it. The thermometer rests just above the eggs
and is plainly visible. Capacity, 66 eggs.

Price, $8.50. Will not go by mail.

Queen Hat Water Incubators

During the past years hot air heated incu-
bators have been the leaders. At the pr^ent
ime some of the leading poultry ^ «ien have
urned to hot water heated iiicubators, and to
aeet this growing demand we have put in stock
he well-known Queen Hot Water Incubator.®.

Queen Chicks Live and Grow

Queen Incubators are famous the country over
for big hatches of strong, healthy chicks that
live and grow. The Queen is accurately regu-
lated, keeping the temperature just right for
the hatching chick. No hot and cold changes
to weaken the chick’s system. The Queen is
properly insulated — two layers of wood and one
of corrugated strawboard, with dead air space.
This also helps to maintain an even tempera-
ture for the entire hatching period. Both Queen
walls are built of genuine California Redwood,
which is unusual in these days of imitation and
cheap substitution.

Redwood does not absorb the odor from the
hatching eggs. Cheaper woods, and pasteboard
lining in iron and tin machines, retain the
odors, to weaken and kill the hatching chick.

The radiator and boiler of the Queen heating
system is made of copper (not copperized tin)
that has been rolled into sheets without heat-
ing, which gives added life, strength and abil-
ity to stand more wear and tear than the ordi-
nary sheet copper, and is placed close to the
inner top of the incubator. This form of plac-
ing allows the heat to reflect from the floor of
the egg chamber and to more evenly affect the
germ which always rises to the upper surface
of the yolk.

Style A Outdoor Brooder

The Style A Outdoor Brooder Is recommended
for use of poultry raisers who feel that they do
not wish to invest in the larger sized and more
costly three apartment outdoor brooders. The
Style “A” is equipned with the Cyphers Fire-
Proof Brooder Heater and Standard Adaptable
Hover. Top heat is used exclusively, thus giv-
ing the chicks free use of all space underneath
the hover. The Adaptable Hover is self-regulat-
ing and self-ventilating, and provides a constant
supply of fresh, warmed, pure air beneath the
hover for the little chicks.

The double frame door of this brooder is of
great convenience to the operator — the sill being
on the level of the floor makes cleaning easy —
while ample ventilation is secured, at the same
time preventing rats, cats and other chick ene-
mies from gaining access to the brooder. The
outer door, hooked up part way, allows venti-
lation and prevents rain beating in.

Style B Outdoor Brooder

The Style B Outdoor Brooder has all
the favorable features found in the Style
A, and in addition has a large exercising
apartment, thus securing twice the floor
space.

The Style B Brooder has the exercising
apartment separated from the hover
apartment by a partition. A small chick
door in each end of this partition does
away with four corners. Each door is
covered with a slitted felt curtain, thus
keeping drafts out of the hover apart-
ment, while for night use a wooden door
will close the opening.

Dimensions: Floor space, 32x62 inches,

32 inches in front, 24 inches in rear. Ca-
pacity, one hundred newly hatched chicks.
Price, $25.00.

Dimensions: Floor space, 32x22 inches; height,
32 inches in front, 24 inches at rear. Capacity
75 newly hatched chicks. Price, $20.00.

Common Sense Brooder Fixtures

To those who wish to make their own brood-
ers, we highly recommend the “Common Sense’’
Brooder Fixtures. These fixtures include an
upper and lower drum, Inland Safety Lamp and
Thermometer. The construction of the brooder
is simple and the air circulation perfect. For
outdoor use the walls should be double and the
roof included and covered with roofing.

Top Removed, Showing Location of Hover and
Heat Retainer

Manner of Construction — First, put in a tight
floor 9Y2 inches from the bottom of brooder.
Then mark and saw out size of larger drum on
this floor (using drum as pattern), 12 inches
from center of side of brooder to center of drum.
Secure drum in place, then nail one-inch cleats
two feet square under and around the drum,
cutting out a two-inch ^ ^le from cleat and side
of brooder to allow alp ^ ^Circulation. Nail the
lower drum up on these cleats. Bore sufficient
holes through two sides of brooder, under this
floor, to carry off fumes and furnish air for

lamp. For the hover nail thin boards together,
making it two feet square. Around this tack
oilcloth wide enough to reach floor when hover
rests on drum. Set the lamp under center of
drum. Price, $5.00.

HOVERS

Cyphers Coal Burning Colony
Hover

The latest development in the brooding of
chicks. Will brood from 300 to 1,000 chicks in

THE INLAND SEED C O.’S

one flock, thereby reducing to the lowest point
the time, labor, and cost of raising fowls.

THIS HOVER COMBINES THE BEST that
twenty years of poultry experience, coupled with
more than fifty years of stove-building experi-
ence have accomplished to date. It is remark-
able for its simplicity of design and rugged ness
of construction. The fire pot is a one-piece,
heavy-weight casting of ample capacity. The
ash pit and heater base are also cast in one
piece — therefore is fire-tight. Automatic regu-
lator is provided, insures continuous, reliable
heat for the growing chicks.

There is nothing about the entire device to
give way or break easily, or to get out of order.
It is as easy to Operate as a kitchen range and
can be relied upon to do the work for which it
is intended.

Prices — capacity 300 to 600 chicks, $25.00.

QUEEN BROODER STOVES

The Queen Brooder Stove is just what Is
needed to keep the house comfortable for the
early chicks. It is the only Brooder Stove in
which both fire and amount of heat are auto-
matically controlled by one thermostat, and one
connecting rod.

Damper indicated by arrow regulates the
check draft and the direct draft to the fire.
Gas controlled above deflector. No gas can es-
cape below to injure chicks. Holds enough coal
to last 40 to 48 hours.

The Queen Is the Only Brooder Stove With Auto-
matic Controi of Both Check and Draft.

The Queen Colony Brooder Stove is made of
highest quality iron castings that will wear and
last indefinitely.

DRA^^S — There are no drafts on the smoke
pipe of the Queen. The check rests on top of
the stove and opens outward when fire is too
warm, thus giving a gentle inflow of air to re-
tard the heat. Wljile the opening of the draft
to increase the fire is located at the top of the
stove, it opens into the fire at the base through
an opening extending down the side to the bot-
tom.

GRATE^ — Next to a good draft through the
chimney, the principal secret of a good fire in
any stove is a good grate that will free the
fire from ashes properly and prevent clinkers.
The grate in the Queen stove is the rocker type

and strikes the fire at four points. This is far
superior to any draw center or shaker grate,
because it cleans the fire thoroughly, and by
striking at four points will break up and re-
move all clinkers.

HOVER — The hover on Queen Stoves is col-
lapsible and made of four pieces of galvanized
iron. This hover comes knocked down, with
holes punched and stove bolts attached, ready
for putting together. By being collapsible, it
enables you to save room when storing, and
lessens the danger of damage, when not in use.

FUEL — The Queen burns any kind of fuel
with equally satisfactory results. We recom-
mend chestnut sizes in all kinds of fuel and
hard or soft coal, coke, charcoal, or briquettes
burn equally well.

GAS — There is no possibility of gas escaping
below the hover to harm the chicks, because all
drafts are located above the hover and are so
arranged that all gas and smoke must go out
through the smoke pipe.

No. 1 — 300 to 500 chick size, $22.00.

No. 2—600 to 1000 chick size, $26.00.

No pipes or elbows furnished with stoves.
Pipes and elbows — 50c each. Order as many
lengths of pipe as you need, also elbow if need-
ed, and add to price of stove.

The Cyphers Adaptable Hover is self-venti-
lating and self-regulating. It supplies a con-
tinuous flow of fresh, pure, warmed air under
the hover, and at the same time maintains a
steady, uniform heat. It is “adaptable” to use
in colony coops, in portable houses, in home-
made brooder coops, such as goods boxes, piano
boxes, and organ cases, as well as in large
brooding houses. It is constructed entirely of
non -combustible material. Capacity, 75 newly
hatched chicks. Price, $10.00.

INTERNATIONAL PORTABLE — The great,
distinctive features of the Sanitary Hover are
that it is warmest at the curtain, and that the

1919 SEED CATALOGUE

center, being occupied by the lamp holder, Is
not available for the chicks to crowd in.

The International Sanitary Hover Is the one
perfect hover. The heat in it is not conducted
through pipes and discharged at the center, but
radiates downward from a ceiling warmest at
the curtain.

Chicks hovered under the Sanitary Hover not
only have no incentive to crowd to the center,
but really have no center to crowd to.

To get at the lamp, just lift it out. To move
the hover, just pick it up. To set up the hover,
just set it down. Price, $12.50.

Clover Leaf Steel Shipping Coop

Inland Grit and Shell Box

Actual Weight on Coop, 1194 Pounds.

This steel coop will outlast three wood crates
and will save its cost each season in repairs
and transportation charges.

It is made of galvanized steel bars and wire,
and will not rust.

It is sanitary, as there are no holes or crev-
ices in which vermin can breed.

It has a narrow mesh on top, which elim-
inates the possibility of the poultry poking
their heads through and being killed.

Weighs but 24 pounds, and never gets heavier
with moisture.

It is built on a taper, so that the coops will
slide into each other, after removing the bot-
tom. This feature is a great advantage, as the
coop is not weakened by making it collapsible.
The bottoms are easily and quickly detached.

Size, 27x41x13 inches high. Price, $4.00.

Size, 27x41x20 inches high, $4.00.

The Inland Sanitary
Feed and Shell Boxes
work a material saving
in grit, shell, bone, char-
c o a 1 or poultry feeds.
They are thoroughly
practical, self -feeding,
made of h ea v y gal-
vanized iron. They are
provided with a cover or
lid, which protects the
contents, and being
placed at an angle fur-
nishes a slanting top,
preventing the fowls
from roosting on the top
of the box. Price, 3 com-
partment, $1.25. Weight
3 lbs. Add postage.

INLAND DRY MASH HOPPER

The curved bottom of the Hopper keeps the
feed within easy reach of the birds. The grad-
ual enlargement from the top to base prevents
clogging. The wire grid and the wires running
from the flange through the wire grid prevents
any chance of the fowls throwing out or wast-
ing the feed. The sloping cover prevents the
birds from roosting on the Hopper, and when
both covers are closed, it is rat and mouse proof.
A trial will convince you that it is a hopper of
the greatest merit. Manufactured of heavy gal-
vanized iron.

Weight, 4 lbs. Price, $2.25; add postage.

Quality is the first great consideration in seeds.

CAN’T FREEZE FOUNTAIN— The great ne-
cessity for a supply of water at all times for
poultry is never questioned. This has been
rather difficult to provide during the winter
months on account of the water freezing in the
ordinary drinking fountains or other containers,
hence the great need of a drinking fountain to
overcome this difficulty.

The Can’t Freeze Fountain is made of heavy
galvanized steel, is rust proof with extra re-
inforced edges, has an unbreakable chimney and
a galvanized lamp point. Holds two gallons, has
vent openings, thus providing air for lamp. Fire
proof, perfectly safe, automatic, simple, effici-

Reliable Grain and Oat Sprouter

Jill

Poultry needs green feed in one form or an-
other. All experiments by individuals and agri-
cultural colleges have found that oat sprouts
are the best green feed that can be obtained for
poultry.

You want the eggs when the eggs sell at the
highest price. Green feed makes your hens lay.

The Reliable Grain and Oat Sprouter has an
automatic sprinkler, which furnishes moisture.

Has a Moisture Receptacle, which catches the
surplus drip.

Has circulation of warm air which passes all
around and over each tray.

Has a regular oil heater to furnish sufficient
warm air in coldest weather.

Is made of galvanized iron with large glass
front.

Three trays will furnish sprouts for 50 to 75
fowls. Price, $12.50.

Six trays will furnish sprouts for 100 to 150
fowls. Price, $16.00.

Twelve trays will furnish sprouts for 200 to
300 fowls. Price, $27.50.

Our first aim is quality. Our
second, a reasonable price and
prompt service.

Poultry Feeds

In the days gone by it used to be considered
that anything was good enough to be fed to
poultry. The poultry business of today is being
rapidly conducted on a truly scientific basis.
There are three great essentials to success in
the poultry business: Stock, Care, Feed. The
success of the poultry man will depend upon the
care and attention given to these three points.
We are not supplying stock, and cannot give
care, but we can and are supplying feed.

The different kinds of feed manufactured by
us are put up under our Clover Leaf Brand,
each bag bearing our name and a large green
four-leaved clover. These are not put up hap-
hazard, but are always put up as near as pos-
sible under the same formula regardless of the
varying prices of the different grains and in-
gredients.

Advantages of using Clover Leaf Brand: Uni-
formity, Dependability, Purity, Cleanliness, Re-
sults.

Please note that we are quoting on poultry
feeds at prices prevailing today, but we do not
give any assurances that we will continue to sell
at these quotations, as we expect to keep our
prices on the basis of grain and other ingredi-
ents entering into their make-up,

Alfalfa Meal

The value of some green food for fowls can
hardly be overestimated. For a winter feed al-
falfa is one of the best for this purpose. It con-
tains more protein, lime and mineral salts in
soluble and digestive form than clover, and fowls
relish it In either a green or dry state. For
producing eggs it has no equal. 100 lbs., $2.50,

Mash is the same as new milk for baby chicks.
No indigestion or bowel trouble from its use.
It has the same feed value as whole milk and

is just as easily digested. It saves both time

One great reason why hens do not lay In win-
ter is because they are not supplied the proper
elements to produce the yolk of an egg. This can
be remedied by the use of Dried Blood.

pays for 65 pounds of useless materials in every
100 pounds he buys. Granulated Bone is made

CREAM AND MILK COOLERS

The Ideal Sanitary Cream Cooler

Will remove the animal heat from the cream
while flowing from the sepaartor, and will re-
duce the temperature sufficiently low that if
can be at once mixed with older cream and set
aside for future delivery without further cooling.

Its cooling capacity is sufficient that where
used in connection with the largest hand-power
separator, it is capable of reducing the tempera-
ture to within three to four degrees of the wa-
ter used.

It is so constructed that it can be placed un-
der the cream spout of the smallest size separa-
tor and still be high enough to deliver by grav-
ity into a 5 or 10 gallon can.

Price, $17.50. Sanitary cover for milk can and
elbow spout to fit cooler, $1.50 extra.

Quality is and has been our
watchword. This explains our
steady annual growth.

THE INLAND SEED C O.’S

DE LAVAL CREAM SEPARA-
TORS

Skims cleanest, turns and washes easiest, con-
struction simplest; lasts the longest.

The De Laval was the first cream separator
in 1878 and it has been first ever since.

More De Lavals are in use than all other
makes combined.

98 per cent of the world’s creameries use the
De Laval exclusively.

The machine that is best for the dairyman.

De Laval hand-size machines range in capa-
city from 1,350 to 225 pounds per hour — seven
sizes.

The De Laval is by far the most economical
cream separator and always gives satisfaction.

CANS

TIGER — The mate-
rial used in the manu-
facture of these cans is
the very best obtain-
able: for proof of this
we call your attention
to the construction oi
the covers, necks and
bottoms; no material
but the very best and
most select would ever
stand the strain of
drawing and bending
which is done in the
manufacture of these
cans. The parts are
all smooth without
waves or wrinkles and
are guaranteed not to
split. Material that is
not properly annealed
will split and crack,
but our cans are
GUARANTEED not to
do this.

All parts are treated
to two coats of pure
block tin after being
properly made to size
so that all edges are
tinned just the same as the flat surfaces.

The bottom is No. 14 gauge steel. This can
has what is commonly known as the “rolled in
bottom;’’ The breast hoop is notched with a
V-shaped groove in which the breast is wedged,
locking it securely to place. On other cans the
breast hoop is simply shrunk into place and

1919 SEED CATALOGUE

held with solder; this hoop can easily be jarred
loose. The neck is reinforced at the two most
important points, and it makes a neck that will
not break down. The body sheet and breast are
No. 20 gauge steel and the cover is seamless.
Malleable handles.

MILK BOTTLES

It is true that in milk bottles as in almost
all other things there is a great difference in
quality, and it is equally true that dealers have
not said much about this fact, but have simply
sold milk bottles. Different factories sell milk
bottles at different prices on account of dif-
ference in quality and the difference in the man-
ner of making. Milk bottles are manufactured
In three ways: By hand, by half machine pro-
cess, and machine made. Hand made and what
is termed half machine made are not and can
not be made of uniform size, neither can they
be made with an even distribution of glass over
the entire bottle, consequently some parts of
the bottle will be thicker than is necessary and
some parts thinner. The strength and duration
of the bottle is governed not by the thick, strong
parts, but by the weak, thin parts.

Hand and half machine made milk bottles
will be found to have imperfect cap seats, be-
cause of the way in which they are made.

Machine made milk bottles are of uniform
correct capacity, have even distribution of glass,
and have always perfect cap seats. What is
known as Owen’s (Patented) machine for the
manufacture of machine-made milk bottles. Is
the only machine invented so far that will do
this work.

The Thatcher Manufacturing Co. has the sole
use of this machine, and are the only manufac-
turers that are making milk bottles by a ma-
chine. In addition, the plants producing these
machine-made milk bottles do not make any
other style bottle. Consequently, they can pro-
duce them of a more uniforpi quality, of a
more uniform color and a much better, higher
grade of bottle.

After a thorough investigation of milk bottles
we have decided to handle the Thatcher, be-
cause of their superior quality and greater du-
rability. It is true there are bottles that can
be bought for less money than the Thatcher,
but it is equallj'- true that the Thatchers are
the cheapest.

TURBINE BOTTLE WASHERS

THE 20TH CENTURY

This bottle washer is made with a new gear-
less turbine, the speed being controlled by the
governor. When the speed of the turbine reaches
a certain point the governor operates to prevent
the speed exceeding the limits of safety. This
governor is in a separate case to keep out the
moisture, which would have a tendency to cause
the bearings to rust and cause it to act too slow-
ly. The cover to this case can be removed in a
moment and the speed adjusted at any desired
point.

The brush spindle is so constructed that it
will hold the brush handle firmly, and when it
is desired to replace worn out brushes with new
ones, a few seconds’ time is all that is required.

The machine is heavily galvanized and is fit-
ted with compression grease cups, bronze gears
and bearings, special steam gauge and syt)hon,
globe valve, and all necessary pipes and coup-
lings. Price, $28.00.

It Is a recognized fact that the
use of stanchions is the most
approved way of confining milk
cows in their stalls. It is true
that safety and comfort are the
points to be considered in se-
lecting your stanchions, and it
is also equally true that all
stanchions do not offer these in
the same degree. The J. 14
is equipped with Alignment
Irons, Wood Lining, Double
Chain Hanger, Anchor Plate,
and Lock Open Device.

ALIGNMENT DEVICE— Ad-
justs the stanchion forward or
backward in the stall lengthen-
ing or shortening the stall to fit
the cow.

WOOD LINING— Is made of
thoroughly seasoned birch, care-
fully milled, shaped, polished to
a perfect smoothness.

DOUBLE CHAIN HANGER—

Is attached to at the sides,
where the strain all comes on
the side bars; is made of spe-
cially annealed malleable iron,
giving it remarkable strength;
will not break or get out of or-
der.

ANCHOR PLATE — Set in the concrete curb,
furnishes a firm anchorage, to which the stan-
chion is attached; is so designed that a bolt mav
be easily inserted or taken out.

^ LOCK OPEN
DEVICE — This
consists of a small
chain attached to
the loose arm of
the stanchion, one
link being insert-
ed into a hook on
the rigid post of
the stanchion
frame, making It
impossible for the
cow to disengage
it.

J.14 — Price, $4.25.

K.15 — The same
stanchion exactly
as J. 14, with e x-
ception of align-
ment device.

Price, $4.00.

R. 14 — This is an
all wood stanch-
ion, made of se-
lected hard wood
and is undoubted-
ly the best wood-
en stanchion made
at a moderate
price. It posses-
ses all the ad-
vantageous feat-
ures that has
made this line of
stanchions s o
popular, but does

not have the ^4

double chain
hanger, and the

neck space is not adjustable. Price, $3.25.

exception of alignment device. Price, $3.00.

OIL MEAL

Suggestions for Feeding

MILCH COWS — Any quantity per day not ex-
ceeding two quarts per head.

FEEDING FOR MARKET— Three to six
pounds per head per day.

HOGS — About 25 pounds to each barrel of thin
slop, mix thoroughly and allow to stand about
ten hours before feeding.

SHEEP — One to one and one-half pounds per
day per head. This amount is not sufficient for
fattening w«»thers, but has the positive effect
of largely increasing the growth of wool.

HORSES — One pint to one quart per head per
day when fed with grain, bran and similar feeds.

FOWLS — Mix into a soft or boiled feed or a
bran mash, at least one-tenth of the mixturf
to be fine ground Oil Meal.

LINSEED OIL MEAL is a food, not a medi
cine. There is no danger of feeding too much.

LINSEED OIL MEAL has proven that it is th«
greatest flesh-former, milk and butter producer,
of all concentrated stock feeds.

ITS VALUE AS A FLESH PRODUCER

The following table shows value as compared
with other material, as to the percentage of
flesh produced from 100 pounds;

Indian Corn Meal 11 per cent

Barley Meal 13 per cent

Wheat 14 per cent

Oat Meal 18 per cent

Oil Meal 22 per cent

N. B. — 1 lb. Oil Meal equals 3 lbs. corn, 9 lbs.
wheat bran, or 15 lbs. hay.

ITS VALUE AS A MILK PRODUCER

The following table shows the relative value
of feeds as milk producers:

Timothy per 100 lbs. $0.50

Clover Hay per 100 lbs. .60

Corn per 100 lbs. .60

COCOANUT OIL MEAL

The successful feeder is the one who studies
carefully the feeding values of his rations to see
that he is giving exactly the proper amount of
nutrition at the least possible expense.

“The real value of any feeding stuff is de-
termined not alone by its composition, but also I
by its digestibility; that is, by the amount of
material that it gives up to the body in its pas- ;
sage through the digestive tract. It is evident '
that if two feeding stuffs have practically the ■
same composition but one gives up more ma- \
terial to the body than the other, — that is, is
more thoroughly digested — it must actually be
more valuable than the other material.

Due to the fact that the oil remaining in Co-
coanut Oil Meal is chemically almost identical :
v/ith the butter fats of whole milk, this food is !
naturally the best adapted for mixing with skim ^
milk as a food for calves. The present very
high prices of meat makes the proper care of
the calves a very imyportant factor in the
profits of the dairyman.

Ryde's Pig Meal

MAKING HOGS OF THEMSELVES

The secret of success In raising hogs is rapid
growth and reducing the death loss of the
younger pigs. The most important item is the
feed for the young pigs, particularly, at the
time when they are starting to shift for them-
selves. They require a feed that they relish,
that is easily digested and that supplies them
with all the various food elements necessary
for their rapid and symmertical growth.

RYDE'S PIG MEAL.

is the greatest pig developer on the market to-
day. It contains every possible ingredient in
the correct proportion that they require to push
them forward to maturity in the shortest pos-
sible time. It is made for this purpose only,
and contains every constituent that pigs re-
quire to nourish them properly and in the most
digestable form. In composition and results it
is the same as new ihilk, but at far less in cost
of feeding.

One pound of RYDE’S PIG MEAL will make
one gallon of rich, nutritious gruel. It keeps
young pigs strong and healthy and makes them
grow rapidly. They will dress up in quality
like a milk-fed hog at less than one-third the
expense of feeding milk. 25-lb. bag, $1.85; 60-
lb. bag, $3.50; 100-lb. bag, $6.75.

DIGESTER TANKAGE

Every well informed feeder knows that corn
and other home grown feeding stuffs lacks pro-
tein and phosphates.

To supply these materials in most economical
form Experiment Stations and Progressive Feed-
ers now recognize Digester Tankage as being
the best and cheapest that can be secured.

Brood sows must have plenty of protein and
phosphates in their rations, otherwise they will
farrow weak, puny pigs, defective in bone and
muscle. Digester Tankage is appetizing and
helpful when fed to newly weaned pigs.

Hogs on clover or alfalfa pasture if fed a little
Digester Tankage will be improved and cost
of grains greatly reduced. 100 lbs., $5.00.

DOVETAILED HIVES— The dovetailed hive
is now the leading hive, as it contains many of
the most desirable features of the various hives
for the rapid handling of bees, and is one of the
cheapest and best hives manufactured.

DESCRIPTION— The body is Va inch thick,
and is fitted with metal rivets of an improved
style. Outside of body is 13%x20 inches, and 9%
inches long. The body holds eight Hoffman
frames, L size, and a division board. The frames
hang below the top edge of the hive, so that
there is a bee space above them, but the bot-
toms of the frames are flush with the bottom
edges of hives, the bee space being made by the
projection of the sides and can be enlarged or
decreased by inverting bottom board. The bot-
tom is 14x21 inches. The cover is made with
grooved cleats at each end to prevent warping
The supers are the same size as the body of
hive, but only half the depth, so that when two
are put together they make a full-depth body
The inside width of the body is 12% inches,
giving room for eight frames and a division
board. There are objections to using sections
other than 4%x4%. as they require special sized
shipping cases and special sized cartons.

Complete hive consists of 1 body, 1 super, 1
bottom board, 1 cover, 8 Hoffman brood frames.
2 wedges for super, 6 section holders, 6 slotted
separators.

Hives, complete: Nailed, $4.00; K. D., in fives,
$17.50.

Entrance Guards

The Hoffman Improved Foundation Fastening
Frajnes are the latest and best brood frames.
The top bar Is made with a beveled strip which
holds the foundation in place, perfectly straight
and exactly in center to top bar. It seems to
combine in itself nearly all the good features
and for a hanging frame it is the best self-
spacer we know of. It economizes labor in that
It can be handled in grroups of three or four;
and any particular frame can be removed wlth-
put thumbing over nearly all the other frames
in the hive to get room. Price, 8, 80c; 50, $4.75;
100, $9.00; weight, per 100, 50 lbs.; add postage.

These are to admit workers, and to exclude
drones. After the drones are all out, fix guards
over the entrance and at night the drones can
be destroyed. For 8 and 10 frame hives. 30c;
by mail, 35c.

Extractors

If there is any one
thing that is more es-
sential to the successful
manipulation of bees,
aside from a good bee
smoker, that one thing is
a good honey extractor. If
you have but ten colonies
of bees it will pay you to
have an extractor. In-
deed, it would pay for it-
self in one good season,
as oftentimes the brood
combs become so filled
with honey that the
queen is crowded for
room, and this honey
should be extracted, and
could be sold in the ex-
tracted form or used in

Feedini^

Bees are fed for two purposes; to stimulate
brood-rearing or to supply them with neces-
sary stores for winter. For stimulating, a pint
to a pint and a half of syrup daily either at the
entrance at night or inside the hive should be
given until the required amount of brood is
reared. In preparing for winter it is better to
give the necessary stores all at one feed. The
feeder should be filled with syrup by mixing to-
gether granulated sugar and water in equal pro-
portions by measure and stirring or heating un-
til thoroughly dissolved.

SIMPLICITY

The Simplicity may be placed at the entrance
at night, over the brood frames, by placing on

Smokers

Every bee keeper needs a smoker. A little
smoke puffed in at the entrance of a hive be-
fore opening it causes the bees to fill themselves
with honey, and with their honey sacs well
filled they become docile and their hive can be
opened without much risk of the manipulator
being stung.

Acme — This is
undoubtedly the
best Cold Blast
Smoker on the
market. It has no
tube in the fire
box to clog. It
throws a large
volume of smoke
at RIGHT angles
to the fire box
without a curved
nozzle to lessen
the blast. In fact,
it is the perfec-
tion of smokers.
Price, $1.15.
Weight, 2 lbs.
Add postage.

BINGHAM — This is a strong, well-made smo-
ker; does not clog up and will burn any fuel.
This smoker resembles the Higginsville very
much in appearance. In the Higginsville the
nozzle or detachable snout fits over the outside
of the smoker, while in the Bingham it fits on
the inside. In the Higginsville the nozzle is not
attached to the smoker, while in the Bingham
the nozzle is attached by means of an open
hinge, but can be removed at will.

Price, $1.75. Weight, 2 lbs.; add postage.

Higginsville

This smoker is, as
its name implies,
strictly a Higgins-
ville product. It is a
hot blast, and has a
3 14 -inch fire box, and
the nozzle is detach-
able to admit of fill-
ing or cleaning. It
has as strong a blast
as any smoker made.
Price, $1.25. Weight,
2 lbs. Add postage.

Globe.

Veils

A great necessity and very
cheap. Cotton; silk face. $1.25;
postpaid, $1.30.

Globe — Has five bars that will
keep veil aw^ay from head.
Price, $1.60; postpaid, $1.65.

Swarm Catcher

Manum

This swarm catcher
is the best article of
its kind on the mar-
ket, and it will be
found a valuable ad-
dition to the appli-
ances of the apiary.
Without pole. Price,
$2.00. Weight, 3 lbs.;
add postage.

Wax Tube Fastener

VAN DEUSEN

For fastening the foundation sheets to thin
top-bars there Is nothing better than the Van
Deusen wax tube. It is simply a brass tube
half an inch in diameter, six inches long and
tapering. This is filled with hot wax and the
point is then slowly drawn along the edge of the
foundation in contact with the top-bar, leaving
a fine stream of hot wax to cement it. 30c; by
mail, 35c.

Wire Imbedder

The latest spur wire imbedder is a most de-
cided improvement over the old one. The teeth
are wider and grooved in the direction of the
circumfeience midway across front of teeth, so
that the w’heel will easily follow the wire. 40c;
by mail, 45c.

Wire

No. 30 Tinned Wire seems to be the most
suitable of any for wiring frames.

'/4-lb. spools, each, 25c
