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-

THE  INLAND  SEED  C O.’S 


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.

1919  SEED  CATALOGUE 


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.

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,

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

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

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.

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. 

All  varieties  of  second  early  cabbage: 
Pkt.,  2 for  15c:  oz.,  75c;  2 oz.,  $1.25;  1/4  lb.,  $2.25;

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 
header.

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

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

LONG  ORANGE,  IM- 
PROVED. — A deep  orange 
colored  variety.  Heavy  crop- 
per. Good  for  either  garden 
or  field  culture,  especially 
adapted  for  light,  deep  soils 
where  it  can  be  easily  dug, 
as  the  roots  penetrate  far- 
ther into  the  soil  than  other 
varieties.  Grows  fairly  thick 
and  entirely  under  ground, 
thereby  avoiding  green 
shoulders. 

OXHEART  OR  GUERANDE— A thick  carrot, 
five  or  six  inches  long  and  very  blunt  at  the 
lower  extremity.  It  grows  more  rapidly  and  the

variety,  with  an  immense  broad  shoulder.  The 


Hutchinson  Carrot, 
roots  penetrate  less  than  one-half  the  depth

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

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.,

Late 

CELERIAC  OR  TU RN  I P~  ROOTED— Grown 
exclusively  for  its  roots,  which  are  turnip- 
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.

We  have  contracted  for 
three  cars  of  Onion  Sets  to

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.

grains,  and  sweetness.  The  ears  are  of  fair 
size,  frequently  three  or  four  to  the  stalk. 

EARLY  EVERGREEN— This  fine  variety 

yields  large,  handsome,  ten  and  twelve  rowed

LATE 

STOWELL'S  EVERGREEN— The  standard 

main  crop  variety,  much  used  for  the  home  gar- 
den, market  and  canning.  It  is  hardy  and  pro- 
ductive, very  tender  and  sugary,  remaining  a 
long  time  in  condition  suitable  for  boiling. 
This  corn  is  distinguished  by  the  large  ear, 
the  long,  deep  kernels,  its  rich,  sugary  fla- 
vor and  its  long  keeping  qualities.  The  ears  are 
about  seven  to  eight  inches  long,  fourteen  to 
twenty  rowed,  with  very  white  grain.  The  stalks 
are  about  seven  and  one-half  feet  high.  The

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. 
1 lb.,  25c,  postpaid.  At 
purchasers’  expense,  5 
lbs.,  75c;  10  lbs.,  $1.25; 
25  lbs.,  $2.75;  50  lbs., 
$4.50;  100  lbs.,  $8.50. 


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.

kernels.  1 lb.,  30c,  postage  paid.  At  purchaser’s 
expense,  10  lbs.,  $2.00. 


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.

Cucumbers 

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.

IMPROVED 
LONG  GREEN— 

The  vines  are  very 
vigorous  and  pro- 
ductive. The  fruit 
is  very  long,  grow- 
ing frequently  from 
12  to  15  inches, 
and  are  uniformly 
slender  and  of  a 
beautiful  dark 
green  color.  The 
large  warts  and 
spines  are  well  dis- 
tributed over  the 
surface  instead  of 
being  clustered  at 
one  end  as  in  infe- 
rior stocks.  This 
variety  furnishes 
some  fruit  early 
but  matures  the 
bulk  of  its  crop  rather  late.  It  is  a standard 
sort  for  slicing  and  is  very  largely  used  for 
pickles.  This  is  probably  the  most  extensively 
used  cucumber  for  the  home  garden  and  mar- 
ket. Pkt.,  2 for  15c;  oz.,  20c;  2 oz.,  35c;  '/4  lb.,

spring:  transplant  to  2 or  3 feet  apart  in  very 
rich,  warm  ground.  Do  not  plant  them  outside 
till  nights  have  become  warm,  as  the  least  frost 
or  cold  nights  will  greatly  retard  their  growth. 


Improved  New  York 

BLACK  BEAUTY — This  beautiful  egg  plant  Is 
10  days  earlier  than  the  New  York  Improved. 
The  fruit  is  broad  and  thick,  of  most  attractive 
form  and  does  not  fade  or  change  to  a lighter 
color  at  the  blossom  end.  The  fruits  set  freely 
and  are  ready  for  market  e'’rly,  so  the  crop  can 
be  gathered  before  danger  of  frost.  Pkt.,  15c; 
oz.,  75c;  2 oz.,  $1.25;  1/4  lb.,  $2.25;  1/2  lb.,  $4.00;

ENDIVE 


This  is  one  of  the  most  refreshing  and  attract- 
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 
hearts,  which  when  blanched  form  one  of  the 
best  winter  salads.  Crisp,  tender  and  fine  fla- 
vor. 

LARGE  GREEN  CURLED— A fine  market 
sort;  tender,  green  leaves;  blanch  white;  hardy. 

Both  varieties  of  Endive:  Pkt.,  2 for  15c;  oz.,

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. 
1 lb.,  35c. 


Quality  is  and  has  been 
our  watchword.  This  ex- 
plains our  steady  annual

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. 


Kale. 


DWARF  GREEN  CURLED  SCOTCH— Plant 

low  and  compact,  with  large,  bright,  deep  green 
leaves,  curled,  cut  and  crimped  until  the  whole 
plant  resembles  a bunch  of  moss. 

TALL  GREEN  CURLED  SCOTCH— Produces 
an  abundance  of  dark  green,  curled  leaves.  Very 
hardy. 

Both  varieties  of  Kale:  Pkt.,  2 for  15c;  oz., 

25c;  2 oz.,  40c;  !4  lb.,  75c;  1/2  lb.,  $1.25;  1 lb., 
$2.25. 

THOUSAND  HEADED— The  great  demand  for 
this  wonderful  forage  plant  proves  it  to  be  the 
most  valuable  green  feed  for  dairy  and  stock 
men.  Endorsed  by  agricultural  colleges  and 
government  stations.  Pkt.,  2 for  15c;  oz.,  15c; 
2 oz.,  25c;  !4  lb.,  40c;  1/2  lb.,  75c;  1 lb.,  $1.25. 

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. 

EARLY  WHITE 
VIENNA  — Is  the 
earliest  and  best 
for  forcing:  is  very 
tender;  excellent  for  table  use.  Pkt.,  2 for  15c;

LEEK 


London  Leek. 


LARGE  LONDON,  OR  SCOTCH  FLAG— This 
leek  is  generally  considered  more  delicate  than 
the  onion  for  soup,  etc.  Sow  in  seedbed  middle 
of  spring;  when  the  plants  are  three  or  four 
inches  high,  transplant  them  into  rows  wide 
enough  apart  to  admit  the  hoe  between  them. 
Pkt.,  2 for  15c;  oz.,  25c;  2 oz.,  40c;  14  lb.,  75c;  14 
lb.,  $1.25;  1 lb.,  $2.25. 


Lettuce 

CULTURE — Sow  every  month  as  soon  as  the 
ground  is  open,  in  drills  one  foot  apart,  cover- 
ing the  seeds  about  one-quarter  of  an  inch  deep 
and  thinning  out  to  6 or  8 inches  in  the  row. 
For  a cut  salad  sow  thicker  and  do  not  thin  out. 
Does  best  in  rich,  moist  soil. 


We  handle  only  high  grade 
seeds.

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

edge,  thin,  very  hard  and  crisp.  In  color  they 
are  bright  light  green,  the  head  slightly  tinged

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

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.

The  celebrated 


ROCKY  FORD  OR  NETTED  GEM— Has  at- 
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.

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

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.

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.

ROCKY  FORD  PINK  MEAT— The  Pirrk  Meat 
Rocky  Ford  is  the  same  general  type  of  melon

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.

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

of  the  most  productive  kinds.  Pkt.,  2 for  15c;

well.  The  skin  is  a fine  brown  orange  yellow, 
while  the  flesh  is  pure  white,  solid  and  of  good 
quality.  Its  keeping  qualities  are  of  the  best 
and  its  earliness  makes  it  valuable  for  market. 


LARGE  RED  WETH ERSFIELD— This  is  the 
standard  red  variety  and  a great  favorite.  It 
is  very  extensively  grown  for  home  garden  use

are  flattened  yet  quite  thick.  The  skin  is  deep 
purplish  red.  The  flesh  is  light  purplish  white, 
moderately  fine  grained,  rather  strong  but  of 
pleasant  flavor.  The  variety  is  very  productive, 
one  of  the  best  keepers  and  very  popular  for 
general  cultivation.  This  medium  early  or  main 
crop  variety  does  best  on  rich,  moderately  dry 
soil,  but  on  low  muck  land  it  is  more  apt  to 
no  better  sort  for  poor  and  dry  soils.  Pkt.,  2 
for  15c;  oz.,  30c;  2 oz.,  50c;  J/4  lb.,  90c;  J/2  Ih.,

nearly  globular  in  form,  usually  with  shoulder 
and  base  slightly  sloping.  The  skin  is  yellowish 
brown  or  light  yellow  with  slight  tinge  of  brown. 
The  flesh  is  creamy  white,  very  mild,  tender 
and  of  excellent  flavor.  The  variety  keeps  well 
if  thoroughlj’’  ripened  and  is  very  desirable  for 
shipping  for  fall  and  early  winter  use.  It  is  one 
of  the  best  of  the  large  European  sorts  that  has 
become  thoroughly  acclimated  in  America  and  is 


Quality  is  and 
has  been  our 
watchword.

pea.  Very  compact  growth.  Vines  about  1 foot 
high.  Pods  3 inches  in  length,  containing  from 
6 to  9 large  peas,  which  are  of  a very  fine  qual-

as  large  as  those  of  Gradus,  as  early  as  the 
best  selected  small  smooth-seeded  extra-earlies. 
They  can  be  planted  much  earlier  than  Gradus, 
and  while  not  wrinkled,  the  peas  are  almost 
equal  in  flavor.  The  vines,  of  vigorous  growth, 
attain  a height  of  three  feet  and  bear  a large 
proportion  of  pods  in  pairs.  Our  stock  is  very 
limited.

about  2V2  inches  long  and  blunt.  Vines  grow 
from  26  to  30  inches  long.  Seed  green,  of  me- 
dium size.  A very  popular  pea  both  with  can- 
ners  and  market  gardeners  on  account  of  its 
excellent  quality.  Pods  grow  mostly  in  pairs 
and  arei  therefore  quickly  and  easily  picked.

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. 

The  three  foregoing  varieties:  Pkt.,  2 for 

15c;  oz.,  20c;  2 oz.,  35c;  1/4  lb.,  60c;  '/a  lb.,  $1.00;

Olive  Shaped,  Medium  Early 

FRENCH  BREAKFAST,  OR  HALF-LONG 
WHITE  TIPPED — Medium  size,  of  quick  growth, 
crisp  and  tender;  terminates  more  abruptly  than 
the  Half-Long  Scarlet,  lower  end  of  tap  root 
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

tender  and  mild.

long, tapering  shape,  both  skin  and  flesh  be- 
ing pure  white.  The  flesh  is  firm,  brittle  and 
tender  and  retains  its  crispness  even  if  old  and 
large.  Excellent  for  summer  use.  Very  popu- 
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.

BULBS — Continued. 

The  Cactus  forms  of  Dahlias  are  exceedingly 
beautiful,  and  are  hard  to  excel.  They  have 
long  twisted  petals  and  embrace  nearly  all  the 
colors  and  shades  to  be  found  in  any  of  the  oth- 
er types.  The  petals  being  closely  rolled  out- 
wardly, and  the  pointed  ends  standing  apart, 
give  a distinctly  starlike  form  to  the  flowers;

curled.  For  large  size,  exquisite  colors,  elegance

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.

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

for  the  grower  whose  market  is  somewhat  dis- 
tant. 

MAGOON— Of  first  quality,  great  productive- 
ness, attractive  shape  and  color;  good  for  can- 
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. 

PRICES — Owing  to  the  great  uncertainty  regarding  values  w^e  are  unable  to  make  definite 
prices  at  present,  but  quote  approximately  as  follows:  Less,  than  25  lbs.,  5c;  25c  lbs.,  $1.00; 
50  lbs.,  $1.75;  100  lbs.,  $3.00;  add  postage.  If  you  are  needing  a quantity  we  prefer  that  you 
write  for  prices,  as  these  prices  are  not  guaranteed.  Unless  otherwise  advised  we  will  send 
full  value  at  prices  prevailing  at  time  of  shipment  for  money  received.  If  desired  by  Parcel 
Post,  postage  must  be  added. 


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.

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

THE  INLAND  SEED  C O.’S 


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.

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.

It  yields  large 
crops  of  ex- 
cellent hay 
and  under  fa-

of  this  variety 
is  greatly  pre- 
ferred by  some 
to  that  of  Red

reason  that  It 
is  generally  fi-

BOKHARA,  OR  SWEET— A variety  of  clov 
which,  when  young,  resembles  in  growth  a

four  to  six  feet  in  height.  It  is  extremely  vij 
orous  and  especially  adapted  to  waste  land 
though  by  many  prominent  farmers  and  stocl 
raisers  is  used  on  good  land  for  a crop  forag 
It  is  very  vigorous  growth,  standing  frost  ai 
drouth  remarkably  well,  the  tap  roots  penetra 
ing  the  soil  very  deeply,  and  occasionally  us« 
as  a drainage  plant  for  wet  soils.  It  will  grc 
on  almost  any  barren  hillside,  in  bottoms,  ai 
is  equally  adapted  to  all  good  farming  lane 
Sweet  clover  is  one  of  the  most  valuable  of  j

for  general  use. 

It  is  an  erect  branching  biennial  plant  wi 
woody  stems,  the  first  season  growing  to 
feet  high  and  developing  a large  root,  in  whii 
is  stored  food  material  for  the  second  seasor 
growth.  The  growth  the  second  season  usual 
reaches  a height  of  4 to  7 feet.  It  bears  flowe 
and  seed  the  second  season  and  then  the  pla 
dies,  so  it  is  readily  controlled  by  cutting  b 
fore  it  goes  to  seed,  which  will  prevent  any  se* 
being  self  sown.  Lb.,  45c,  postpaid. 

YELLOW  BLOSSOM— (Melilotus  Officinal!

is  a good  variety  to 
sow  with  Timothy 
and  Clover  for 
meadow  or  pasture 
and  is  more  perma- 
nent than  eitl  er  of  the 
other  two.  It  should  be 
fed  close,  as,  if  it  is 
allowed  to  grow  up  -to 
seed,  the  cactle  dis- 
like it.  On  good  soil  it 
grows  about  two  feet 
high;  on  poor  gravelly 
land  about  half  that 
height.  It  has  been 
grown  successfully 
even  on  alkali  land 
where  other  grasses 
failed.  Red  Top  is 
commonly  known  as 
Herd’s  Grass  and  it 
should  be  more  ex-

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

lets: 25c  lb.,  postpaid. 


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. 

Write  for  prices  on  all  field  peas,  stating  va- 
riety and  amount  wanted. 

CANADIAN  WHITE— A leading  kind;  seed 
almost  white;  a heavy  cropper.  Lb.,  20c,  post- 
paid. 

BANGALIA  — This  variety  has  been  highly 
recommended  by  our  State  College  at  Pullman, 
on  account  of  its  great  yield.  It  is  earlier  than 
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. 

NEW  ERA  COW  PEAS— A new,  extra  early 
variety,  the  quickest  growing  of  any  of  the 
Cow  Peas,  maturing  in  about  60  days;  specially 
adapted  for  planting  north.  Lb.,  25c  postpaid. 

WHIPPOORWILL  — A brown,  speckled,  me- 
dium sized  pea.  A very  prolific  seed  yielder; 
matures  about  ten  days  later  than  the  New 
Era;  upright  and  vigorous  grower.  Lb.,  25c 
postpaid. 

Write  for  price  on  all  field  peas,  stating  va-

Rape 

DWARF  ESSEX  — Has  been  usually  grown, 
until  recent  years,  to  furnish  pasture  for  sheep 
and  lambs,  but  is  now  being  found  equally  good 
in  providing  pastvire  for  all  kinds  of  stock.  Per- 
fectly hardy  and  of  remarkable  fattening  prop- 
erties. Easily  grown.  Pigs,  sheep  and  cattle 
are  all  extremely  fond  of  It.  A very  rank  grow- 
er and  bears  heavy  manuring  and  high  cultivat- 
ing. Sow  at  intervals  of  several  weeks  and  se- 
cure a supply  of  good  feed.  Sow  In  June.  Rape 
should  be  fed  In  Augrust,  though  if  a first  crop

be  cut  about  four  inches  from  the  ground  an 
aftergrowth  would  be  useful  later.  If  soil  is 


rich  and  clean  sow  broadcast,  otherwise  in  drills 
and  cultivate  same  as  corn.  Can  be  sown  on 
wheat  stubble,  furnishing  excellent  pasture  late 
in  the  fall.  Lb.,  25c,  postpaid.  Write  for

Vetches 

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.,

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

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,

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.

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.,

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.

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.

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.

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.

No.  1 Planet  Jr.  Combined  Drill  and 

Wheel  Hoe.  Price,  complete $16.50 


No.  4 Planet  Jr.  Combined  Hill  and 
Drill  Seeder,  Wheel  Hoe,  Cul- 
tivator  and  Plow. 

Price,  Complete  $20.25 

Seeder  Only  16.25 


This  is  the  most  popular  combined  tool  made. 
It  combines  in  a single  implement  a first-class, 
hill-dropping  seeder,  a single  wheel  hoe  or  weed- 
er,  a cultivator  a,nd  a plow.  The  hopper  holds 
two  quarts  of  seed,  which  can  be  sown  in  con- 
tinuous rows,  or  dropped  in  hills,  at  4,  6,  8,  12 
or  24  inches  apart. 

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.

chine runs  over  the  ground.  This  seeder  is  constructed  on  up-to-date  principles.  It  has  a strong

governed  by  changing  the  pin  in  the  index  plate  as  thereon  indicated. 
This  seeder  does  not  injure  or  bunch  the  seed,  but  evenly  distributes

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.

of  large  capacity,  such  as  the  Bean  Giant  Trip- 
lex. 

The  Bean  Giant  Spray  Guns  are  the  greatest 
labor  and  time  savers  that  have  ever  been  of-

spray  rods  and  nozzles.  Half-inch  hose  is  too 
small  and  reduces  the  pressure  considerably.

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. 
Cut-off  is  accomplished  by  stopping  the  outlet 
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. 

Will  throw  two  solid  continuous  streams,  one 
flat  spray  and  one  fine  round  spray.  Has  au- 
tomatic mixer  to  keep  solution  stirred. 

Weight,  5 lbs.  Price,  $5.00;  add  postage. 


Utility  Compressed  Air  Sprayer 


The  Utility  is  designed  to  meet  the  require- 
ments of  an  extra  high  pressure  sprayer,  which 
is  very  essential  in  obtaining  a fine  spray  for 
high  trees,  poultry  houses  and  other  outbuild- 
ings, as  well  as  vegetation  of  all  kinds. 

The  Utility  is  especially  adapted  for  white- 
wash, cold-water  paint,  Bordeaux  mixtures  and 
Paris  Green. 

THE  TANK  should  be  filled  to  the  line  indi- 
cated on  the- outside.  It  being  tested  to  95  lbs. 
pressure  to  the  square  inch  at  the  factory  in- 


sures a safe  working  pressure.  It  will  give 
a real  spray  if  the  operator  will  only  pu&h  on 
the  pump  handle.  The  tank  is  fitted  with  a 
standard  garden  hose  connection,  making  it  use- 
ful for  other  kinds  of  work  as  well.  Tank  re- 
quires no  special  wrench  for  opening  when 
refilling  is  necessary. 

THE  PUMP  can  be  easily  removed  by  a one- 
quarter  twist  of  the  opening  cap.  The  cylinder 
is  made  entirely  of  brass  tubing  with  a ball 
check  in  the  bottom  which  wull  not  stick.  The 
pump  and  filling  cap  are  held  in  a tight  posi- 
tion by  a gasket  locked  tight  by  a four  point 
expanion  device.  There  being  no  twisting  action 
on  the  gasket,  prolongs  its  life  indefinitely. 

THE  NOZZLE  is  made  of  all  brass,  and  can 
be  operated  at  any  distance  by  merely  adding 
a longer  piece  of  one-quarter  inch  gas  pipe  and 
a piece  of  wire.  The  valve  stem  is  made  of  a 
special  hard  brass,  seating  on  a soft  brass 
ground  seat.  This  makes  the  best  kind  of  shut- 
off known.  The  valve  contains  a strainer 
which  positively  prevents  clogging.  The  valve 
stem  has  a packing  box  which  can  be  tight- 
ened in  case  of  necessity.  Weight,  11  lbs.  Price, 
$7.00;  add  postage.

Hose 

The  high  pressure  and  corrosive  and  oily  ma- 
terials used  in  spraying  are  very  destructive  to 
ordinary  spray  hose,  and  have  caused  many 
persons  to  believe  that  hose  for  this  purpose 
cannot  be  relied  upon  to  last  out  a season's  hard 
usage.  Our  Spray  Hose  is  constructed  and 
treated  on  purpose  for  this  use,  and  as  it  saves 
annoyance  and  lasts  longer,  it  is  much  more 
economical.  Furnished  in  12^/^,  25  and  60  foot

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

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.

This  is  extensively  used  as  a winter  spray 
while  the  tree  is  dormant,  both  for  fungicidal

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.

ist  as  one  of  the  best  and  most  eco- 
nomic remedies  for  numerous  forms  of 
disease,  fungi  and  insects,  injurious  to 
fruit  trees. 

It  is  necessary  to  know  the  strength 
or  weight  of  the  solution  and  the  only 
practical  way  of  ascertaining  this  is  by 
means  of  a Hydrometer.  The  Hydro-

VEGETABLE 


The  root-maggot,  as  well  as  the  strawberry 
crown  borer,  is  hatched  from  an  egg  deposited 
on  the  plants  by  the  maggot  fly.  This  fly  dis- 
likes the  odor  of  the  spray  and  will  not  deposit 
the  eggs  where  this  odor  is  present.  To  get 
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 
Its  appearance.  The  spray  will  kill  maggots.

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.

is  but  the  work  of  a moment  to  release  the  cords 
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  sack  is  full.  Both  of  the  pickers’  hands  are

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.

Atkins  Perfection  Grass  Hook 


Raffia 


The  blade  is  of  Silver  Steel  and  will  hold  its 
edge  much  longer  than  the  material  usually 
placed  in  similar  tools.  It  is  extremely  light 
and  does  not  tire  the  *wrist.  Fitted  with  a 
hardwood,  easy  grip  handle,  securely  fastened 
to  a malleable  casting  by  strong  rivets.  The 
curve  of  the  blade  is  such  that  the  entire  cut- 
ting edge  is  constantly  in  use.  Corners  and  out- 
of-the-way  spots  may  be  easily  treached. 

The  handle  being  offset,  saves  the  knuckles 
from  becoming  bruised.  Price,  75c.

You  no  doubt  have  noticed  that  most  of  the 
hanging  baskets. on  the  market  have  the  paral- 
lel wires  on  the  sides  laced  to  the  ribs  by  means 
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- 
possible for  it  to  fall  apart.

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. 

Sizes  and  prices: 

No.  1 — 85-egg  size,  $22.00. 

No.  2 — 135-egg  size,  $31.00. 

No.  3 — 180-egg  size,  $37.00.

Incubators  are  also  made  in  the  following  sizes

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

82 


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

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.

with  any  other  burner.  Top  of  lamp  is  made

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.

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.

INLAND  POULTRY  FOUNTAIN— The  back 
is  flattened  so  that  it  can  be  hung  on  the  wall 
or  against  an  upright  post  or  board  at  any

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- 
ent and  practical.  The  water  is  kept  from  freez-

Reliable  Grain  and  Oat  Sprouter 


Jill 


Poultry  needs  green  feed  in  one  form  or  an-

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,

POULTRY  TONIC  fills  the  egg  basket  in  spite

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. 
Blood  is  the  highest  concentrated  form  of  ani- 
mal food  and  prepared  so  as  to  include  all  the 
elements  of  the  so-called  Red  Albumen.  Use 
only  tablespoonful  to  six  hens  once  a day.  100

Bone,  Granulated 

Many  poultrymen  prefer  granulated  bone  to 
fresh  or  green  bone.  Fresh  bone  contains  53  per 
cent  of  moisture  and  12  per  cent  of  grease,  so 
that  when  a poultry  man  buys  fresh  bones  he 
pays  for  65  pounds  of  useless  materials  in  every 
100  pounds  he  buys.  Granulated  Bone  is  made 
from  fresh  bones  with  the  moisture  and  grease 
taken  out,  leaving  nothing  but  the  phosphate  of

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.

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

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

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

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.

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. 

S. 14 — Same  stanchion  exactly  as  R.14  with  the 
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.

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

It  can  be  handled  in  grroups  of  three  or  four; 
and  any  particular  frame  can  be  removed  wlth-

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

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.

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.

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