ARTICHOKE

THE Globe Artichoke is cultivated for its flowerheads, which are cooked like Asparagus. Plants set in any good soil,
with slight covering in winter, will remain in bearing several years. Seeds may be sown indoors and plants potted
same as the Tomato, and set out in May, or can be sown in hills outside, and thinned out to one plant in each hill.
Large Green Globe Pkt., 10c; oz., $1.00.

ASPARAGUS SEED

One ounce will produce about 400 plants.

ANY good loamy, not too weedy, garden land is good for growing the plants.
Sow in rows 12 to 15 inches apart, as early in Spring as the ground is in fit
condition and give good cultivation; also thin the plants to stand 2 or 3 inches
apart. Deep, warm, rich, loamy soil, deeply and thoroughly stirred, is required for
permanent bed. Use manure and fertilizers freely. Make furrows 4 or 5 feet apart
and 6 to 8 inches deep. Set the one or two-year-old seedlings 2 feet apart in the
bottom of furrows and cover lightly at first. Gradually fill in with soil and old
compost. In early Spring fork or plow the bed shallow and carefully, or pulverize
the surface by harrowing. Give clean cultivation until fall; then cover with manure
or compost. Second season after planting, hill up the rows, especially for blanched
“grass,” and cut sparingly for use. After that the bed will give full crops.

BEANS Dwarf or Bush

One pound will plant 50 feet of drill — 60 to 120
pounds per acre.

WHILE the Bean is a very tender plant and, therefore,
should not be planted until there is no more danger
of frost, still it often pays to take some risks. Plant
in a warm, loamy soil -at the beginning of warm weather in
Spring and at intervals for succession until August. Rows
may be made 2 feet apart and the beans planted 2 inches
deep and a few inches apart in the rows, or 3 to 4 beans
in hills 6 to S inches apart.

Cultivate and hoe frequently, always, however, when
the vines are perfectly dry; working them when wet with
rain or dew will cause them to rust and injure the crop.
In hoeing, draw' the soil up towards, the rows or plants.
For String -Beans gather the pods clean as soon as fit for

use. The plants will . remain all the longer in bearing.

Dwarf or Bush Lima

T^HE Dwarf Lima class can not be recommended too
highly. The Beans can be grown and gathered much
more easily than the Pole Limas as the plants require
no support. They can also be grown closer together than
those of any Pole variety. Dwarf Limas are fully equal
in quality to Pole Limas and as a rule are earlier maturing.

Limas require a longer season for maturing than other
garden Beans. Do not plant till the ground is dry, weather
warm and danger of frost is over. If possible, select rich,
light soil. Plant in drills two to three feet apart, dropping
the Beans three to four inches apart and covering one and
one-half to two inches deep. If planted in hills, make
the hills two to three feet apart one way and two to two
and one-half feet the other and plant four to six beans
in a hill. Hoe often, but only when the leaves are dry.
All varieties of Beans, pkt., 5c.

All packets and half pounds of Beans are sent

Wilson’s Improved Bush Lima. We consider this
variety the best Bush Lima Bean in cultivation.
Of strong, upright growth, producing large pods which
frequently contain five or more thick, luscious beans.
Matures one to two weeks earlier than Burpee’s Bush
Lima and is more productive, as it continues bearing
until frost.

Pkt., 5c; y2 lb-, 20c; 1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.60;
15 lbs., $4.50.

Fordhook Bush Lima. This is one of the best Bush
Lima Beans in cultivation. It has a distinct upright
vigorous growth; the pods, which are borne in clusters
well above the ground, frequently contain as many
as 5 thick, luscious beans. It matures very early and
continues in bearing till frost. This is so far ahead
of the old strain of Burpee’s Bush Lima, that it should
be used instead; the bean is thicker, sweeter and earlier,
being also more prolific.

Pkt., 5c; Yi lb., 20c; 1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.60;
15 lbs., $4.50.

Burpee’s Improved Bush Lima. Pods and beans are
both larger and thicker than Burpee’s Bush Lima, and
fully eight days earlier. Plant is a vigorous grower
with heavy foliage. Even when of full size the
enormous beans are of the most luscious flavor.

Pkt., 5c; lb., 20c; 1 lb., 35c;
5 lbs., $1.60; 15 lbs., $4.50.

Burpee’s Bush Lima. This is the
true bush form of the old large
Lima Pole Bean. It grows
vigorously to a height of 18
to 20 inches, forming a circular
bush 2 or 2 Yl feet in diameter,
requiring no poles or stakes,
yielding from 50 to 100 fine
pods, similar to those grown on
the large white Lima Bean.
Pkt., 5c; V2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c;
5 lbs., $1.40; 15 lbs., $4.00.

Henderson’s Bush Lima. For

convenience and practical use
in the home garden, it is a really
good thing. It grows with-
out the aid of poles, in compact
bush form, about 18 inches
high.

Pole or Running Varieties

All varieties of Beans, pkt., 5c.

All packets and half pounds of Beans are sent postpaid; for larger
quantities by mail, see “Postage” page 1.

THE Pole or Running varieties are tender and should be sown two weeks later
than Bush Beans. They succeed best in sandy loam, which should be liber-
ally enriched with manure. Form hills 3 to 4 feet apart; plant 6 to 10 beans
in a hill, 2 inches deep, leaving space in center for the pole. When well started,
they should be thinned to from 4 to 6 plants in a hill. One quart will make 100
to 200 hills, according to size of the beans.

Kentucky Wonder, or Old Homestead (Green Pod). An old favorite, with
long, fleshy, deeply saddle-backed pods. Very prolific, producing an abun-
dance of fine, stringless, crisp beans until late in the season. One of the best
green pole beans, producing pods in clusters, ready for use about 85 days from
time of planting. . .Pkt. ,5c; x/2 lb. ,20c; 1 lb. ,30c; 5 lbs., $1.40; 15 lbs., $3. 75.

White Kentucky Wonder or Burger's Stringless. This desirable variety
is earlier and consequently covers a longer season of productiveness than
the Brown Seeded Kentucky Wonder. Pods are borne in clusters and average
six to eight inches in length, entirely stringless, uniformly straight, of a
dark green color and of mild, sweet flavor. The dry beans are pure white.

Pkt., 5c; Yi lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.40; 15 lbs., $3.75.

Ohio Wax Pole. Large podded variety, usually 7 inches
or more in length, and are so fleshy that they are fre-
quently greater in width than breadth. They are
solidly meaty, entirely stringless, and when cooked,
deliciously rich and buttery. It commences to bear
when scarcely higher than the bush variety, and keeps
on producing until killed by frost. It is a rampant
grower, one plant filling a pole with a mass of vines
densely loaded with luscious beans, almost a solid mass
of pods from bottom to top. The finest Wax Pole Bean.

POLE LIMA

All varieties of Beans, pkt., 5c.

All packets and half pounds of Beans are sent postpaid; for larger
quantities by mail, see “Postage” page 1.

OF all the Pole Beans, Limas are considered to have the greatest economic value.
The culture is the same as for other Pole Beans except that being more tender,
the seed is usually planted one to two weeks later. Plant in hills about three
feet apart, and one to two inches deep, using five or six seeds to each hill, and set a
pole firmly in the center. Manure liberally in the hill with well-decomposed fertilizer.

Thin the plants, leaving three in each hill. Many cultivators consider it best,
in planting Limas and other flat beans, to place the eye down, claiming in this way
that they will germinate more quickly. Lima Beans for early use may be grown in
frames and transplanted.

is that which is rather light
and thoroughly enriched with ma-
nure. For an early supply sow in
spring as soon as the ground be-
comes fit to work, in drills twelve
to sixteen inches apart and one
inch deep. Or seed may be sown
under glass four weeks sooner, and
the young seedlings transplanted to
open ground, to give an extra early
crop.

For "main crop, sow the first week
in May, and for winter use sow in
June.

When the plants have attained
three or four leaves, thin out so
they may stand five or six inches
apart. Keep free from weeds by
hand-weeding or hoeing.

In October roots may be taken
up and stored in the cellar or in
pits outside like potatoes, care being
taken that they are not bruised or
injured in the process

One ounce will sow 50 feet of
drill — 5 to 6 pounds for an acre.

CABBAGE

FOR plants of the earliest sorts, sow seed in January
or February under glass, and prick out in flats or
frames about 2 inches apart each way. Transplant
to open ground as soon in spring as the land can be
properly prepared. A rich, warm, fibrous loam is best.
Have the plants in the rows 20 to 24 inches apart, and
rows at least 2 feet apart. Give thorough cultivation
and irrigate in dry weather if practicable. Protect
from the ravages of cutworm, maggot and green worm.
A little nitrate of soda applied around the plant is of
great benefit. For late Cabbage plants, sow seed in
drills in open ground during April and May, and trans-
plant in June and July, giving the plants more room than
allowed for earliest Cabbages. Dusting with tobacco
dust, insect powder, etc., or splashing with hot soap-
suds, especially Fish Oil Soap solution, are good and safe
remedies for some of the insect pests attacking plants
of the Cabbage. Sow one ounce for 2,000 to 2,500
plants; five ounces for one acre.

throughout this section. It is highly esteemed by the
market gardeners, and it will stand hot weather better than
any other sort; will stand the entire summer without burst-

September 1, having been planted with Jersey Wakefield,
which was long unfit for use. Our Louisville forms large,
solid heads, and is the earliest large- heading variety, while,
if planted later, it makes excellent heads for winter. The
quality is very fine, and is remarkable for its certainty to
head. For winter use, sow later in the season. We have
received expressions of unanimous praise from all parts of
the country, and could fill many pages of our catalogue with

exceedingly tender, fine grained, and as a cropper
no earlier Cabbage will approach it. Planted side
by side with Early Jersey Wakefield, under the
same conditions, the Early Market produced
heads of marketable size five to six days earlier
andinsizefully double that of theEarly Jersey Wake-
field; was more solid and better flavored and kept
in fine condition much longer. It is very dwarf

fine, ball-shaped, and with few outside leaves.
Size ideal for marketing. (Supply limited.)

Early Jersey Wakefield. This Cabbage, though
introduced years ago, still holds its undis-
puted lead as one of the best extra early
varieties in cultivation, and is largely grown
as a First Early Cabbage. It is the good,
old reliable; always depended upon for its
uniformity in earliness and crop. Among
its merits may also be mentioned its large
size of head for so early a variety and the
small outside foliage, allowing it to be closely
planted. The heads are pyramidal in shape,
having a blunted or rounded peak. We
believe our selected stock has no equal.

Copenhagen Market. It is the earliest large, round
headed sort. The ripening is early and uniform,
maturing at one time and almost with Early Jersey
Wakefield. Considering its early season, the heads
are remarkably large. One of its chief features is
compactness; its leaves, which are light green, are
round, dish-shape and fold tightly together in remark-
ably compact and solid form; it is so solid that many
more plants can be grown on an acre than is possible
with most sorts. It has few outer leaves, which permits
close planting, and it grows close to the ground on a
short stem Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; J4 lb., $1.75.

Charleston, or Large Wakefield. For some years past
customers have requested us to procure for them, if
possible, a Cabbage which had all the characteristics
of the Early Jersey Wakefield, but of greater size.
The Charleston Wakefield is a larger type, which is
now so fixed in its character that we can offer it with
confidence to those desiring a Cabbage of this kind.
This selection will average about 50 per cent larger in
size than the old type of Wakefield, and is only a few
days later Pkt., 5c; oz., 40c; 34 lb., $1.50.

Early Winningstadt. Heads are conical in shape, but
more pointed than the Jersey Wakefield and not so
early. The leaves are a rich, dark, slightly glossy
green and tightly folded, the heads being the hardest
of any early Cabbage . . .Pkt., 5c; oz., 35c; 24 lb., $1.25.

Early Summer. A second early with large, solid, flattish
heads, coming in a few days later than the Wakefield;
a sure header. The plant has a peculiar bluish tinge.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 35c; 24 lb., $1.25.

All Head, Early. The largest heading of the second early
sorts. The deep, flat heads are remarkably solid and
uniform in color, form and size.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 35c; 24 lb., $1.25.

Glory of Enkhuizen. Has become a remarkably popular
early, and is regarded as amongst the most important
introductions in the cabbage line for some years. It
is a splendid sort for the private garden and market
gardener who grows for high-class trade. It has
received popular favor on account of exceptional merit,
in several important points. The heads are globe-
shaped, medium size and handsome dark-green color,
just right for market; it is sure heading and is a splendid
keeper and early. The quality is excellent, the leaves
being fine ribbed Pkt., 5c; oz., 40c; 241b., $1.50.

Glory of Enkhuizen

Early Dwarf Flat Dutch. This variety has for years
been popular among growers, both for home use and
market. Heads are borne on short stems and are very
large, solid and nearly flat on top. One of the best
second earlies as it stands a long time without bursting.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 35c; 24 lb., $1.25.

Heads are solid, keep well and are of splendid quality;
the color is a beautiful fight green.

Danish “Roundhead.” It is slightly larger and produces
more weight to the acre than Ballhead. The foliage
is rather fighter in color; the handsome hard heads
are beautifully white when trimmed. The heads are
produced about ten days earlier, and while perfectly
globular or round in form are not quite so deep through;
that is, not so elongated or balloon-shaped as the Ball-

PE-TSAI, CHINESE OR CELERY CABBAGE

THE Seed
we offer is
the true
variety which
has been
growninChina
for many
years.

This new
vegetable is a
species of Cab-
bage with a
fine delicate
flavor and re-
sembles a stalk
of Celery more
than a head of
Cabbage. It
is as tender as
Head Lettuce
and is rapidly
coming into
general use for
salads or cold
slaw. Can also
be eaten raw
or may be
cooked. The
many uses to
which it can
be put as a
“high toned
vegetable’ ’ is
bound to make
it popular with
the public as

well as the market gardener. This delicious vegetable may
be grown in any soil that will grow good Cabbage, but to
attain perfection should be grown in cool, moist and very
rich soil.

Seed should be sown about the first of August in
rows 24 to 36 inches apart, thinning to 15 inches apart in
the rows.

If weather is warm at time of heading tie up like Endive
and keep well watered.

As this variety will not stand frost it should be stored
in a cool, frost-proof cellar. Early sowing is not recom-
mended Pkt., 5c; oz., 35c; 34 lb., $1.25.

CAULIFLOWER

FOR early use, sow in hotbeds in January and February. When plants are large enough, transplant three inches apart in
boxes or other hotbeds until time to plant out. If hardened off they are seldom injured by planting out as early as the
ground can be worked, 2 34 feet apart each way. When practicable, seed may be sown in rich soil from the middle of
September to middle of October, and transplanted in frames; protect during severe weather and give light and air on mild
days. The early varieties should be brought to maturity before summer heat sets in. The late sorts mature in the autumn
and are cultivated same as winter Cabbages.

One ounce of seed will produce about 3,000 plants.

may be set out 20 to 22 inches each

CARROTS

Alight sandy loam, well-tilled and manured
the previous year, best suits he Carrot.
For early crop sow as early as the ground
can be worked, in drills 10 inches apart, and
thin, 5 inches in the rows. The Early Market,
owing to its extreme earliness, is used for
hotbed culture. The late sorts, long and
half-long varieties (main crop), sow from
middle of May until first of July in drills
12 to 14 inches apart. Thin out to 6 and 7
inches in row. Keep the hoe at work. Car-
rot seed is slow to germinate. One ounce
will sow 100 feet of drill — 3 to 4 pounds
for an acre.

CELERY

TO grow early Celery, sow the seed late in March in a hotbed
or box; and for later crops, as soon as the weather becomes
warm, sow in the open ground, cover lightly, or better
still, roll or press it in. Shade the young plants for a week
or ten days, and do not let the soil dry out. The tops may be
shorn off once or twice before planting, so as to insure “stocky”
plants, which will suffer less on being transplanted. When
from four to six inches high, transplant into broad, shallow
trenches, or on the level ground, setting the dwarf sorts into
rows three feet apart, and the tall varieties four feet apart
and six inches apart in the rows. The soil should be light,
highly manured, partially shaded and moist, or near water,
as the plants must be freely watered in dry weather, but it should
not be put directly on them. Earthing 'up checks growth and
should not begin until quite well grown, then earth up gradually,
keeping the leaf stalks close together, so that the soil may
not fall into the center of the plant, but never earth up in wet
weather, nor when dew is on them. That intended for winter
and spring use needs little banking; when stored for winter
it will naturally blanch beautifully white.

One Ounce Will Produce About 2,500 Plants.

CUCUMBERS

FOR very early Cucumbers, sow April 1st, in a hotbed upon pieces of sod (grass side down), so that they can be
readily transplanted to the open ground, in rich soil, when danger of frost is over, or protect by handglasses. For
early use, plant, if the weather has become settled and warm, in hills 4 to 6 feet apart each way; thin out to four
of the strongest plants to each hill, after all danger from insects is over. They succeed best in a warm, moist, rich, loamy
soil. Continue planting at intervals for a succession. The Cucumbers should be gathered when large enough for use,
whether required or not; if left to
ripen, it destroys their productiveness.

For pickles, plant from June until the
middle of July. The yellow-striped cu-
cumber or squash beetle is the most serious
insect enemy of this crop.

Bordeaux Arsenate of Lead Mixture is
by far the best remedy yet discovered.

Dilute it with water, 3 ounces to the
gallon, and spray it on the vines when in
danger of the beetle or blight.

Use one ounce of seed to 50 hills,

2 to 3 pounds per acre.

Witloof Chicory, or French Endive. Seed should be
sown in the open ground not later than June in drills
twelve to eighteen inches apart, thinning plants so
they will stand about three inches apart. The plant
forms long, parsnip-shaped roots, which should be
lifted in the fall, and after cutting off the leaves store
in soil in a cool place until wanted for forcing. To
force, plant closely in trenches deep enough to permit
covering the roots with soil 8 inches deep. If quicker
growth is desired mulch with manure 2 feet deep. Re-
quires four to five weeks to force. The blanched head is
the edible portion and should be cut with a portion of
the neck attached to it. The principal use of Witloof
is as a winter salad, and it is most delicious served
with French dressing and eaten like Cos Lettuce.

ENDIVE

ONE of the best and most wholesome salads for fall and
winter use. Sow in shallow drills in April for early
use, or for late use in June or July. When 2 or 3 inches
high, transplant into good ground, or thin out to one foot
apart. When nearly full grown they must be blanched.
This is done by gathering the leaves together, and tying
with yarn or bass, to exclude the light and air from the
inner leaves, which must be done when quite dry, or they
will rot. One ounce of seed to 150 feet of row.

EGG PLANT

CEED is of slow
^ germination and
requires a moder-
ate amount of heat.
Should be started in
hotbeds and not
checked after start-
ing to grow. When

they should be potted
in 3-inch pots and
not set out in the
open until nights are
warm. Plant about

3 feet apart and keep
well watered.

seed will produce
about 1,000 plants.

an abundant crop of pale green leaves, slightly but
closely crumpled, which, even when old, retain their
characteristic tenderness and brittle character. We
strongly urge those who cannot succeed in getting
lettuce to head to grow Grand Rapids.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 341b., 50c.

MUSKMELONS

IN selecting a patch for melons be careful to have it at
a safe distance from your Squashes, Cucumbers, Pump-
kins, etc., or they will certainly mix. In preparing
i the hills fork in plenty of manure, and about the middle of
May, when the ground is warm, plant in each hill eight or
ten seeds, and cover half an inch deep. After the danger
i from bugs is over, pull all but three or four of the strongest
I plants. As soon as the vines have run sufficiently and
spread their branches — stop them by pinching the top off
the first running bud. This will strengthen the plants
i and promote their perfecting fruit early. The ground
should be kept free from weeds and frequently cultivated.

One ounce will plant about 50 hills; 2 to 3 pounds
in hills per acre.

Honey Dew. All the claims of the introducer of this de-
licious Melon have been fully realized. Average size
is about six to eight inches in diameter and they weigh
five to six pounds. Skin smooth with little netting
and of creamy yellow color when ripe. Flesh is green,
thick, melting, fine grained and can be eaten almost to
the rind. Not easily bruised and stands shipping long
distances. Easily pulled when ripe and will keep for
several weeks. Matures about ten days later than the
Rocky Ford Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; M lb., $1.00.

Rocky Ford. A variety extensively grown in Colorado.
The reasons for the widespread popularity of these
melons are their superb table and wonderful shipping
qualities, which enable them to be carried great dis-
tances, and yet arrive in first-class condition for market.
The fruit is of medium size, oval shaped, heavily netted
and very solid. The flesh is green, thick and juicy.
It is early and wonderfully productive.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; U lb., 40c.

Delicious Gold Lined. It is the result of several years
careful selection by a progressive grower. The shape
of this Melon is ideal, being slightly oval and it is
heavily netted over the entire surface. The flesh is as
thick at the bloom end as elsewhere, and the flesh of
the entire Melon is noticeably thick, fine grained and
sweet. The color is green with a gold margin next to
the seed cavity. It is attractive, both as to outward
appearance and when cut.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; ^ lb., 60c.

Bush Musk Melon. Grows a true bush and is different
from any existing kind. There are just as many leaves
on the plant as on other kinds, but these grow so com-
pactly that the plant can be grown on one-half the
space usually required. Notwithstanding its departure
from existing types it is by no means a freak. The
fruit is fully equal in quality to the old and justly
esteemed Jenny Lind, which is probably the best
flavored of all green-fleshed sorts. They are produced
in abundance, in fact we advise that each plant be
allowed to ripen only about one-half of the fruit, as it
is apt to bear too many. . .Pkt., 5c; oz.,20c; % lb., 60c.

Extra Early Hackensack. A careful selection from
Hackensack. Produces melons two weeks earlier than
the well-known Hackensack; heavily netted, and has
light green flesh of most delicious flavor; a splendid
Cantaloupe melon. Its shape and sohdity admit of
its being packed very closely in crates for shipment,
and it will keep in good condition for several days after
picking Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; M lb., 40c.

Hackensack. Melons grow to large size and attractive
appearance. Flesh green, very sweet and sugary.
Outer skin is heavily netted.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; \i lb., 40c.

Paul Rose. Cross between the old Netted Gem and
Miller’s Cream and combines the good qualities of both.
The flesh is salmon colored, very deep and of fine
melting character, with thin, tough rind and small
seed cavity. The flavor is excellent, sweet and rich.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; ^ lb., 40c.

Tip-Top. A yellow-fleshed melon of handsome appearance
and excellent quality. A medium sized Muskmelon,
nearly round in shape, with shallow netting on skin!
The flesh is deep yellow and has a rich flavor.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; ]£ lb., 40c.

Osage, or Miller’s Cream. A favorite salmon-fleshed
variety. Large oval, slightly ribbed and netted; skin
is very dark green. Flesh is very thick and sweet
flavored, most delicious to the rind. A great favorite
for both market purposes and the home garden.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; % lb., 40c.

Defender. Medium size, salmon flesh, and delicious flavor;
oval shape, slightly ribbed and covered with a slight
netting Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; y± lb., 40c.

Burrell Gem. A superior, new, orange-fleshed, shipping
melon. Of splendid flavor, sweet and aromatic; oblong
in shape, smoothly rounded ends, closely netted and
slightly ribbed, dark green skin. Rind thin, but very
tough; flesh exceptionally deep, rich salmon-orange
color. Fruits average 6 inches long by 4 inches deep.
Very fine for marketing.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; lb., 40c.

Emerald Gem. Ripens early; medium size; nearly round;
flesh a delicate salmon color, very thick, fine
grained, and very few melons can compare with it
in superb flavor. The rind is thin, dark green, ribbed,
slightly netted Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; lb., 40c.

Jenny Lind. The earliest variety; netted, of small round
size; excellent flavor. The vines do not grow as large
as some of the other varieties, but are quite productive,
and it is a favorite early variety.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; ^ lb., 40c.

Improved Green Nutmeg. A large melon, nearly round,
deeply ribbed, flesh thick, light green, delicious flavor.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; % lb., 40c.

Banana. A long, smooth skinned variety, growing some-
thing in the shape of long squash. Fruit about 12
inches long, salmon flesh, which is very sweet, luscious
and tender. Rather late maturing. Has a delicious
odor Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; lb., 40c.

WATERMELONS

One ounce for 30 hills — 4 to 5 pounds for an acre.

WHILE a sandy loam is preferable for Watermelons they can be grown on a loamy soil having a clay subsoil, provided
it is deeply plowed. When ground is warm, plant 6 to 8 seeds in hills 6 to 10 feet apart each way and cover about
1 inch deep. When well up, thin out to 2 vines in each hill. Do not plant on land where Wate? melons were grown
before, as the vines exhaust elements in the soil which makes succeeding crops defective.

Watermelons are slightly less subject to “bug” depredations and disease attacks than Muskmelons. At the same
time they are more easily hurt by strong spray mixtures, and caution in the use of such mixtures is advisable.

Excel. Will produce more large, marketable
melons under the same conditions than
any of the other sorts of the long variety
and its carrying and keeping qualities are
unsurpassed. Fruit oblong in shape,
dark green color with tracings of light
green. Flesh deep red, crisp and tender.

Weight, 35 to 60 pounds.

Pkt.,5c; oz.,10c; 34 lb-. 30c; per lb., $1.00.

Tom Watson. An extra long melon of
attractive appearance, uniform in shape
and quality. The luscious crimson flesh
is “as sweet as honey” and of superb
flavor. The average melon will weigh
30 to 40 pounds and measure about 28
inches long and about 12 inches in
diameter. It is very prolific.

Pkt., 5c; oz.,10c; 34 lb. ,30c; per lb. ,$1.00.

Kleckley’s Sweet. While the skin is perhaps
too thin to admit of the melons being
shipped very great distances to market,
it is most desirable to plant for home use or local mar-
kets. The melons themselves are very large, oblong
in form, with dark green skin, thin rind, which is very
brittle. Flesh is bright scarlet, with solid heart, deli-
ciously crisp.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 34 lb., 30c; per lb., $1.00.

Cole’s Early. A very early variety. Large heart, flesh
of fine texture and good flavor. Rind thin. Fine for
the home garden.

are a round oval in form, from 16 to 18 inches long
by 12 to 15 inches in diameter. The skin is dark
green, striped with narrow bands of a lighter green,
and when ready for shipping the: melons are seemingly
of a solid dark-green color. Flesh is red, the heart
large with no core, and the flavor superb.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 34 lb., 30c; per lb., $1.00.

Fordhook Early. The fruits are of good size, rather
short and blocky in form, with large diameter. Skin
dark green, occasionally with faint stripes of lighter
green. Rind quite thin, but skin tough, making an
excellent shipping variety. Flesh bright red, crisp,
sweet, and of splendid quality.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 34 lb., 30c; per lb., $1.00.

Kolb Gem. Probably the most extensively grown for
long distance shipping of any Watermelon ever orig-
inated. The flesh is bright red and of good flavor.
Melons large, of very thick, oval, blocky form; skin
handsomely marked in stripes of light and dark green.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 34 lb., 25c; per lb., 75c.

MUSHROOM SPAWN

MUSHROOMS can be successfully
and profitably grown during the
winter and spring months in
frames under greenhouse benches, in
the open fields, or in cellars- or out-
houses. To cultivate mushrooms suc-
cessfully does not always require
extensive experience. Some care is
necessary, however, in the selection of
materials, and in forming the beds;
but the matter of securing and main-
taining the proper temperature i n the
room and in the beds needs close atten-
tion, for success depends very much
upon this point. Mushrooms may be
grown in a great variety of situations —
a dark room, cellar, stable or elsewhere.

Any place in which an even temper-
ature of about 50 to 60 degrees can
be kept is suitable. For material for
the bed, use fresh horse manure, free
from straw or chips, and good loamy
soil. Some growers use the manure
mixed with loam, after first having
well fermented it by alternately piling
it and mixing for a few weeks, but it
is undoubtedly better not to allow
the manure to heat much before forming a bed. Use
one-fourth to one-third loam, the rest manure. Mix very
thoroughly and upon a dry, firm bottom make the bed of
this mixture, about four feet wide and of any desired length.
Build it up evenly, press it down firmly, and leave it
about a foot high. It will shortly begin to heat. Use
a thermometer to thrust into the bed and note the tem-
perature. When the heat has partially subsided, leaving
a temperature of 80 degrees put in the spawn. Pieces
from the size of walnuts to that of eggs are placed in the
bed about a foot apart, deep enough to cover them well,
and the manure pressed down. Let it remain thus ten or
twelve days, then cover with two inches of fresh loam,
and make this moderately firm. The bed is finished by
covering all with four or five inches of straw or other litter.
Watering is not necessary, unless the surface of the bed
gets very dry; in this event moisten freely with water at
a temperature of about 90 degrees. In gathering the
crop, do not cut, but twist them off carefully, filling up the
holes carefully with loam to keep insects from the roots.
In six or eight weeks from spawning the beds, mushrooms
should appear.

One pound of Spawn is sufficient for a bed 2 x 6 feet-

We supply many of the largest commercial growers
in the United States and have on hand at all times in the
season fresh Spawn of the best manufacture.

English Milltrack Mushroom Spawn. Our celebrated
English Milltrack brand (made by the best maker in
England specially for our trade) has gained an enviable
reputation among critical growers for its uniform
good quality, and can be thoroughly relied upon to
produce a good crop of the best Mushrooms. Com-
mercially, it is more planted than any other Spawn.
It comes in pressed bricks weighing about 20 ounces.
They are broken into pieces the size of a walnut and
put sidewise in the beds 10 to 12 inches apart each way.
Prices, by express — customer to pay charges. Per
brick, 25c; per lb. ,20c; 10 lbs., $1.25 ; 100 lbs., $12.00.
By mail, 30c per brick, postpaid.

American Made Pure Culture Mushroom Spawn. A
very superior article, made in this country from care-
fully selected spawn, which it is claimed is much more
vigorous than the imported article, and will produce
Mushrooms of a very superior quality and flavor. The
popularity of Pure Culture Spawn is increasing rapidly
and many of the large growers are now using it. They
claim it is a surer crop. Amateurs have much the
best results with this kind. By express — customer to
pay changes — per brick, 30c; 5 bricks, $1.25; 100

bricks, $20.00. By mail, 35c per brick; 5 bricks,
$1.50, postpaid.

Mushroom Culture. (Wm. Falconer.) The most prac-
tical work on the subject; $1.00.

Treatise on Mushroom Culture. 10c, or given with
an order of 10 lbs. of Mushroom Spawn.

Special prices will be given to those who use Mushroom
Spawn in quantity.

MARTYNIA— For Pickles

(Gemschorn, Ger.)

The young and tender seed pods make a very fancy
pickle. These pods are of curious shapes and bear abun-
dantly. They should be gathered when less than half grown.
Sow in the open ground in May, in hills 3 feet apart each
way.

Martynia Proboscidea Pkt., 5c; oz., 30c.

MUSTARD (Senf, Ger.)

One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill

A small, pungent salad used like Cress. The seed is
also used for flavoring pickles, pepper sauce, etc. For
salads sow thickly in shallow drills, 6 inches apart, or in
frames or boxes during the winter, where frost can be
partially excluded. Successive sowings can be made every
week or two. To grow seed, sow in April, in rows 1 foot
apart, and thin out to 3 inches apart when 2 inches high.

White English. Best for salads.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; J4 lb., 25c.

Chinese, or Giant Southern Curled. The large leaves,
which often measure 14 inches, are ready for use in
about six weeks after sowing. Leaves are eaten boiled ,
like Spinach Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 34 lb., 25c.

OKRA, OR GUMBO (Ocker, Ger.)

This vegetable is extensively grown for its green pods,
which are used in soups, stews, etc. , to which they impart
a rich flavor, and are considered nutritious. Sow the seed
thickly in rich ground, about the middle of May, or when
the ground has become warm, in drills 3 feet apart, 1 inch
deep; thin to 12 inches apart in drills. Culture otherwise
much like Corn.

Perkins Mammoth. An exceedingly handsome variety
of Okra, which is a great improvement upon other
varieties heretofore grown. The pods grow 4 to 5
inches in length and are very tender, long, slim and of
a beautiful deep green color. Tne habit of growth of
plant is dwarf, and it is very productive.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; lb., 25c.

White Velvet. Distinct in appearance; the large pods
are perfectly round, smooth, an attractive velvety
white, of superior flavor and tenderness. Plants dwarf,
of compact, branching growth; very prolific.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 34 lb., 25c.

Dwarf Green. The best of the dwarf sorts. It makes a
stocky growth of plant and is very productive. The
pods are long, slender and of a light green color.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; M lb., 25c.

Long Green. Taller than the preceding, bearing long,
ridged pods. Highly esteemed in the South.

FOR sets, drill the seed thickly as early
as possible in the spring. As soon as
the tops dry off in the summer, remove
to a dry, airy place. May also be grown
to full size the first season by sowing
thinly in drills one foot apart and one-
quarter inch deep, in March or early
April, thinning to three or four inches
apart

By sowing in frames in February or
March and transplanting in April, onions
of immense size can be obtained. For
this purpose the Southport Globe varieties
(white and yellow) and Prizetaker are
usually preferred. Onions delight in a
strong, rich, deep loamy soil, and succeed
well if grown successive years on the
same ground.

One ounce for 150 feet of drill. 5 to
6 pounds for one acre. Onion seed
for sets, 30 to 40 pounds per acre.

Yellow Globe Danvers. The best onion
for general use. A standard sort and
one of the most desirable; an excellent
keeper and very productive. Our
strain of this variety is the true globe
shape, and not of the flat type.

Onion growers throughout the country
prefer this type of onion to all others,
and it is with this in view that the
bulbs from which our seed is grown
are especially and carefully selected as to shape. It
is the best paying onion that is grown for general
crop, and has been the leading variety for years.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; 34 lb., 70c.

Prizetaker. The large size and handsome appearance of
this Onion makes it equally desirable for the home
garden or for market. It is strictly “fancy”, and mil
be found on fruit stands during the fall, where it is
sold as Spanish Onion. The true Prizetaker is globe-
shape, has pale-yellow skin and white flesh, which is
very mild and of delicate flavor. No sets are required,
as the large Onions are grown the first year from seed
sown during early spring.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; 34 lb., 75c.

Southport Yellow Globe. A very large, handsome,
globular-shaped yellow variety, very productive, of
mild flavor. The outer skin is beautiful pale yellow;
the bulbs are of a beautiful globe-shape and good
keepers Pkt., 5c; oz., 30c; 34 lb., $1.00.

Yellow“Danvers. Bulb of good size and flat, the standard
yellow onion for market or home use, being both early
and an enormous yielder as well as good keeper.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 34 lb., 50c.

Yellow Dutch, or Strasburg. A good keeper and well
flavored; bright straw colored skin and somewhat

flattened sh toe. The Onions grow to a good size and
are very mild. This variety is largely grown for sets
on account of its excellent keeping qualities.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 34 lb., 50c.

Large Red Wethersfield. Grows to full size the first
season from seed. The Onions are large, flat in shape,
with skin of a purplish-red color and flosh of a purplish-
white color, rather strong-flavored; an excellent keeper.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; 34 lb., 60c.

Southport Red Globe. Beautiful globe-shape; of medium
size, a good keeper and of superior quality. Tnis
variety is very popular in some sections.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 30c; 34 lb., $1.00.

White Portugal, or Silver Skin. This variety is one of
the leading white sorts. The bulbs are flat in shape an 1
mature early. Largely used for growing sets.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; 34 lb., 75c.

Southport White Globe. Pure white color, mild flavor.
A good keeper and very productive. It is best to dry
these Onions in a shady place, where they will get
plenty of air Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; 34 lb., 75c.

Mammoth Silver King. A large, flat variety. Specimens
have been grown to weigh as high as 4 pounds. Skin pure
white and flesh tender. .Pkt. ,5c; oz., 35c; 34 lb., $1.25.

ONION SEED

White Queen. A rapid-growing variety of mild flavor,
pure white, and splendid for pickling.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 35c; 34 lb., $1.25.

White B arietta. An extra early small white Onion; similar

to White Queen Pkt., 5c; oz., 40c; 34 lb., $1.50.

Early White Bunch. Used largely for pulling when young, as
a bunch Onion. If left to mature, grows to good size; very
showy. Pearly white skin. Flesh of good quality and a
good keeper Pkt., 5c; oz., 35c; 34 lb., $1.25.

Early White Welsh Onion. The best kind for green onions,
forms no bulb. Plants can be propagated from seed or di-
visions, a great saving in cost over top sets.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 35c; 34 lb., $1.25.

ONION SETS

IN private gardens the cultivation of the family supply of
Onions from sets has much to recommend it. The amount
of labor involved is less, the danger of loss from maggots and
other insects is considerably reduced, the crop is surer to grow,
and is ready for use weeks in advance of that grown from seed.
On a small scale where the cost of sets is not a serious item we
urge customers to use them. In fact, the ideal way is to use
both sets and seed — the sets for use in the spring and summer,
and seed to grow bulbs for winter keeping.

Onion Sets should be planted out as early in the spring as
the ground is dry enough to work ; plant them in rows 12 inches
apart, with sets 2 inches apart in tne row. We handle sets of
the standard varieties.

Prices subject to market changes.

Lowest market price will be given upon aplication.

PARSNIP

SOW seed early in spring, in deep, rich soil in drills. Scatter
the seeds thinly and cover evenly with the rake. After
the appearance of the plant the soil must be stirred
frequently until the leaves cover the ground. The seed is
slow to germinate, and is frequently a long time in coming up;
will vegetate sooner by steeping 6 to 12 hours in a liquid manure,
diluted with water, and mixed with sand before sowing. When
well up thin out to 5 or 6 inches apart in the rows. Unlike
Carrots, they are improved by frost, and it is usual to take up
in fall a certain quantity for winter use, leaving the rest in the
ground until spring, to be dug as required.

One ounce for 200 feet of drill.

5 to 6 pounds for an acre.

Large Sugar, or Hollow Crown. The best variety; roots long
very smooth, white, tender, sugary and of excellent flavor.
This strain was made by careful selection of roots growing
to an ideal shape and having the distinct hollow crown.

PARSLEY

SOW thickly early in April, in rows one foot apart and one-half inch
deep; thin out the plants to stand sLx inches apart in the rows.
The seed is of slow germination, taking from three to four weeks

GARDEN PEAS

One pound will plant about 50 feet of drill — 90 to
120 pounds per acre.

PEAS succeed best in light, dry, loamy soil. Early and
Dwarf sorts require richer soil than the late varieties.
If manure is used, let it be old and well rotted, or
there will be a rank growth of vines with few pods. Sow
the early, smooth, round sorts as early in Spring as the
ground can be worked. Seeds of wrinkled varieties are
more liable to rot if the ground is cold, and must be planted
later. From the first sowing, sow every two weeks until
June for a succession. After that there is danger of mildew.
Discontinue then until August, when a planting of extra
early or early sorts will often produce a good crop. Sow
the seed in single drills, three feet apart for dwarf sorts
and four for tall sorts, or in double drills six or eight inches
apart, one inch apart in the drill, and not less than four
inches deep, since deep planting prevents mildew and
prolongs the season. Cultivate well, and draw the earth
twice to the vines during growth. Stake the tall varieties
when they begin to vine. Pick the pods as soon as fit, and
allow none to ripen on the vines, as they will then cease
bearing. All kinds of Peas do best when supported with
brush or wire.

Early Varieties

T McCullough’s
1 “Maud S” .1
.*

The earliest and most prolific Pea
known. The pod is of a dark green
color, of a full, round shape, and of
strong texture which especially fits
it for shipping long distances. For a late fall crop it has
few equals, and is the market gardener’s favorite for all
seasons. The far northern point at which our Peas are
grown renders them almost proof against cold, and the best
for early spring or late fall crop. Thousands of market
gardeners have pronounced this Pea unequaled in earliness,
yield and regularity of growth. Make first planting as
early in the spring as the ground will permit and cover well.

I “Ohio Chief”. !

This new Pea is of the extra early
type, and from our trials and obser-
vation it promises to prove the earliest
Pea in the market. It grows about
two feet high, stem strong, very vigorous and bears well-
filled, round pods about three and a half inches long. It is
a white seeded variety. All growers of Peas should give
it a trial.

Market Surprise. This new variety is another addition
to the extra early type of Peas, but pods are larger and
contain 6 to 8 large peas of excellent quality. The
seed resembles the “Maud S” in color, while it is not
quite as smooth nor yet is it a wrinkled Pea. We
urge all growers to give this variety a trial and as the
supply is limited we can only offer in small quantities
this season.

Little Marvel. As early as American Wonder and Nott’s
Excelsior, the pods are larger and the vines produce a
heavier crop. For quality and productiveness it is away
ahead of everything in the. way of extra early wrinkled
peas. It is dwarf, growing about 15 inches high,
and the plants are very productive, bearing many twin
pods, which are dark green in color.

are produced on a low-growing, sturdy vine, without
support of any kind. The flavor is just as rich and
good as any of the later varieties. It is ready for use
about a week later than the very early sorts, and is
incomparably good in quality. Pods and plant are
rich, dark green in color.

RADISH

SOW early and often. In good' warm, fiorous ioam; especially if
quite sandy, summer Radishes will make a crop in 4 to 6 weeks
from sowing. The soil should be well prepared, and fertilizers
may be used freely. Have the rows a foot apart, and sow just seed
enough so that they will not require thinning. Any little spot that
becomes available during summer may be utilized for planting Radishes.
The short or turnip-rooted sorts are quickest and easiest to grow,
and good for forcing also. On greenhouse bench or in frames the
rows need not be more than 4 inches apart. Sow winter Radishes
in July and August. They grow best in the cooler Autumn weather.
Take them up before severe freezing and store in sand in the cellar
or in a pit, where they will keep tender and crisp all winter.

One ounce to 100 feet of drill — 8 to 10 pounds for an acre.
Special prices given to market gardeners.

n, We were the introducers of this remark-

| McCullough’s T able radish, which has proven one of the
jiCi^.Cil?i.nan^ ^Ia^,ke^||| best long Radishes ever offered. It is
" n~~n "t largely grown by the Cincinnati market

gardeners. The tops are so small that the radishes may stand touching
each other in the rows. They grow perfectly straight and smooth
and from six to seven inches in length. Their attractive, glossy,
scarlet skin is very thin and the flesh crisp and brittle, and of delightful
pungent flavor. It is the finest Long Red Radish for forcing and out-
sells any other that is put in competition with it on the market. Being
long standing, it is also an extra fine sort for the home garden, entirely
exempt from any tendency to become pithy or hollow.

Crimson Giant Forcing. This variety is suitable both for forcing
or early planting out of doors. A remarkable feature of this
Radish is that it will grow double the size of other round red
forcing Radishes and still remain solid. The ordinary forcing
Radish, after growing to the size of 2 inches in circumference*
becomes pithy, while the Crimson Giant will grow to 6 inches in
circumference, and still remain solid and juicy, free from all
signs of becoming soft.

Radish — Winter Varieties

THESE grow to large size, have firm, hard flesh, and !
can be kept in good condition for use all winter by
packing the roots in moist sand or soil in a cold cellar
before the ground freezes in the fall. To have them crisp
and free from woodiness the seed should not be planted
until late in the summer, as if planted too early the
roots would be apt to become hard and woody before it
is time to put them away in the fall. A good rule to follow
would be to sow the seed at the same time as you would
plant seed for winter turnips, and where only a small supply
is needed the seed could be sown in the same patch with
the turnips.

RHUBARB

GOOD plants are easily grown in any good garden soil.
Sow seed thinly in shallow drills a foot apart, thin to
4 or 5 inches. Keep soil loose and free from weeds.
The plants are liable to vary considerably. Pick out the
strongest and best. In fall or spring following, transplant
to the permanent bed, 4 feet apart each way, in deep,
warm and very rich soil. The more manure the better

stalks. For winter forcing take up two-year roots in fall,
leave out to freeze, then bed close together on cellar bot-
tom or under greenhouse bench in the dark.

One ounce will produce 600 plants.

Linnaeus. Best sort for general purposes; early, large
and tender Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; M lb., 60c.

SALSIFY OR VEGETABLE OYSTER

COMMONLY Called Vegetable Oyster. The cultivation is precisely the same as directed for Parsnips, and it will keep
over winter, in the ground where grown, in the same way as Parsnips, but should be taken up before it starts

growing.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; J<£lb., 60c.

Mammoth Sandwich Island. This variety will average nearly double the size
of the White French, and is of excellent quality. The best variety for mar-
ket gardeners’ use Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; M lb.; 60c.

SPINACH

FOR spring and sum-
mer use, sow either
broadcast or in drills
as early as the ground
can be worked. The fall
sowing is the main one
with our market garden-
ers, which is done from
August to October and
by careful attention they
have it in marketable
condition throughout the
entire winter and spring.

If the land is dry
the seed should always
be rolled or trampled in, for if the soil is loose the hot air
shrivels the seed, so that it will not germinate.

One ounce for 100 feet of drill

10 to 12 pounds for an acre.

SQUASH

IT IS useless to sow until the weather has become settled and warm. Light soils are best suited for its growth. Prepare
hills for the seeds by incorporating 2 or 3 shovelfuls of well-rotted manure with the soil for each hill. Plant the bush
varieties, from 3 to 4 feet each way, and the running sorts from 6 to 8 feet. Eight or ten seeds should be sown
in each hill, thinning out after they have attained their rough leaves, leaving 3 or 4 of the strongest plants, after which
cultivate same as Cucumbers.

To repel the Squash vine borer put a handful of tobacco
dust close around the plants.

For Yellow-striped beetle and blight, spray early and
often with Bordeaux Arsenate of Lead Mixture.

TOMATO

o O W in a hotbed, green-house or window in a sitting
^ room, where night temperature is not less than sixty
degrees, about the first week in March, in drills five
inches apart and half an inch deep. When the plants
are about two inches high they should be set out in
boxes three inches deep, four or five inches apart, in
same temperature, or removed into small pots, al-
lowing a single plant to a pot.

They are sometimes transplanted a second time
into larger pots, by which process the plants are rendered
more sturdy and branching. About the middle of May,
the plants may be set in the open ground. They are
planted for early crops on light, sandy soil, at a dis-
tance of three feet apart, in hills in which a good shovel-
ful of rotted manure has been mixed. On heavy soils,
which are not suited for an early crop, they should be
planted four feet apart. Water freely at the time of
transplanting and shelter from the sun a few days
until the plants are established. For late use, sow in
a sheltered border in May, and set out the plants in July;
the green fruit can be picked off before frost, and
ripened under glass. By training the tomato vines on
trellises or tying to stakes, they will increase in pro-
ductiveness. the fruit will ripen better, and be of finer
quality.

TURNIP

THE soil for Turnips should
be rich and mellow. For
an early crop, sow early in
the spring, in drills about a foot
apart or broadcast and thin out.
For a general crop, sow from
the first of July to the last of
August, in drills 18 to 20
inches apart, and thin out the
plants to 8 or 10 inches. To
destroy the fly, which is very
destructive to the Turnip crop,
use “Hammond’s Slug Shot.”
Sow an abundance of seed and
thin out. Should the crop be
destroyed, harrow the ground
immediately and sow again.

Plants. Cannot assume any responsibility for Vegetable Plants sent via Parcel Post.

ASPARAGUS ROOTS

DEEP, warm, rich, loamy soil, deeply
and thoroughly stirred, is required for
permanent bed. Use manure and fer-
tilizers freely Make furrows 2 or 4 feet
apart and 8 to 10 inches deep. Set the
two-year-old roots 18 to 24 inches apart
in the bottom of furrows and cover
lightly at first. Gradually fill in with
soil and old compost. In early spring,
fork or plow the bed shallow and carefully,
or pulverize the surface by harrowing.

Give clean cultivation until fall; then
cover with manure or compost. Second
season after planting hill up the rows,
especially for blanched “grass”, and cut
sparingly for use. After that the bed
will give full crops. In the fall, as soon
as the tops are ripe and yellow, they
should be cut and burned. Two-year-old
roots will insure the best and earliest
results.

^c(Tullougl)’s
Selected Slower Seeds

~Eve.r£ ?£ar we carefully revise our list of flower seeds, add a number of new sorts and discard
all inferior varieties. Our collection will be found to contain everything really
desirable. Our stock of seeds is of the Ijigfyest possible quality.

YOU will notice that all of our descriptions of flowers are classified as “annual,” “hardy annual.” “tender annual.”
“perennial,” “biennial,” etc. These descriptions, when properly understood, will tell much about planting.
ANNUALS attain full growth from seed, bloom and die in one season. Sow HARDY ANNUALS outside in March or
April, or earlier indoors for transplanting outside. Hardy Annuals may be sown in the fall for earlier spring blooming.
HALF HARDY and TENDER ANNUALS should be sown in the house or hot-bed and not be sown or transplanted outside
until the weather is settled and warm.

BIENNIALS are plants that bloom the second year from seed, and then die. Many of these will bloom the first year if
sown early. Sow under same conditions as perennials.

PERENNIALS are plants that bloom the second year from seed, and the plant lives and blooms for many years. Tf sown
in early spring, many perennials will bloom the first year from seed. Tender and half-hardy perennials are best
sown in spring after frost is over. Hardy perennials may be sown in the late summer and early fall (July to October)
for next year’s flowers.

TENDER or GREENHOUSE means the plant will not stand the least frost. All such must be planted late in spring, or
in a greenhouse.

HARD SHELLED SEEDS like Canna, Brazilian and Japanese Morning Glory, Moon Vine, etc., should be soaked in
warm water 36 hours before planting.

HOW TO SOW FLOWER SEED: A common mistake in sowing flower, as well as other seeds, is covering too deeply

The exception to this is the Sweet Pea, which is seldom planted deep enough. As a general rule, cover small seeds
only to the depth of the thickness of the seeds; or, with medium-sized seeds, like Balsams, Zinnias, etc., half an
inch or so is none too much. Such fine seeds as Petunias, Portulacas, etc., need only to be pressed into the soil with
a piece of board. Always press the earth after sowing all flower seeds, else there is danger of their drying up before
the roots can get firm hold of the soil. Seeds of the hardier Annuals may be sown where they are to grow; but,
as a rule, it is preferable to transplant, as the plants are generally stronger and stand the drought better. During
very dry weather, and when the seedlings are first set out, they should be watered frequently. Provide some
support for all such plants as require it.

The weeds should be kept down and the ground loosened often, so that the plants will receive the full benefit of the
rains and dews, which they will not if the ground is allowed to become hard and baked.

ABUTILON (Flowering Maple)

ELEGANT flowering plants of strong growth and easy cul-
tivation, producing various colored, drooping bell-shaped
flowers. Sown indoors any time before April, they will
produce plants that will flower outdoors the first season
and indoors all Winter. Half-hardy Perennial.

1 — Fine Mixed. Of choice varieties and colors. . . 10c pkt.

ACROCLINIUM

4 — Double Mixed. An “Everlasting,” growing about 15

corners of the garden; 3 to 5 feet. Hardy Perennial.

5c pkt.

ADLUMIA

(Mountain Fringe, Allegheny Vine, or Cliriting
Fumitory)

5 — Cirrhosa. A graceful climber, but, as it resows itself
year after year, it might be considered perennial. The
feathery foliage closely resembles that of the Maiden-
hair Fern. The flowers are tube-shaped, flesh-colored,
and completely cover the plant. For covering trellises,
stumps of trees, etc., it is very desirable. Flowers the
first year from seed. Hardy Biennial 5c pkt.

AGERATUM (Floss Flower)

ONE of the very best bedding plants, being literally a sheet of
bloom from early summer till frost. Unlike many bedding
plants, their flowers are not liable to be spoiled by rain, nor
do the colors fade out. The blue varieties are without doubt the
most satisfactory bedding plants of this color for our trying climate.
Easily raised from seed, which is usually started in a hotbed or
window and transferred to the open ground in May. Can also be
sown outdoors in May. Half-hardy Annual.

6 — Blue Perfection. This is the darkest-colored of all large
flowering Ageratums. Color, deep amethyst-blue; compact
growth; fine bedder. (See cut.) M oz., 50c; 5c pkt.

ALYSSUM (Mad- Wort)

PRETTY little plants for beds, vases, baskets, edgings
or rock work, blooming profusely all Summer; useful
also for Winter-flowering. Hardy Annual.

11 — Little Gem, or Carpet of Snow. We know of no
other flower which is so particularly well adapted for
borders, ribbons, etc. The plants commence to bloom
when quite small, and will flower all Summer until late
in the Fall. This habit, with its fragrance, makes it
indispensa.ble. Keep the seed pods sheared off the
plants and they will bloom until killed by frost. Sow
the seeds wherever the plants are to remain. If too
thick, thin out. To prevent sowing too thickly, mix
the seed with sand before sowing. (See cut.)

an all around good plant. . M oz., 10c; oz., 25c; 5c pkt.

AMARANTHUS

BRILLIANT foliaged plants, easily raised from seed,
either by starting them early indoors or sown outdoors
in May. Grow from 2 to 4 feet high; are useful in
borders of tall plants or for the center of large beds. They
thrive best in a hot, sunny location, not too rich soil, and
given sufficient room to develop their full beauty. Hard «

Annual.

14 — Caudatus. (Love Lies Bleeding.) Bloodred; droop-
ing racemes 5c pkt.

15 — Tricolor Splendens-Joseph’s Coat. 2 H feet. The
inner foliage is of blackest bronze, tipped with green,
while the outer foliage is bright scarlet and gold. The
colors are especially brilliant if grown in poor soil. 5c pkt.

ANTIRRHINUM (Snapdragon)

ANTIRRHINUMS or Snapdragons are one of the best
cut flowers which can readily be grown from seed.
They succeed best in a rather light soil, in a sunny
position. For early flowering, sow in fall, protecting the
plants with a covering of leaves through the winter. Sown
in spring, they bloom by midsummer, and if the flowers are
cut freely the flowering is continuous till fall. If intended
for winter flowering in the house, cut them well back in
September. The Snapdragon, like most perennials and
biennials which bloom the first year, is treated like an annual
and sown every year. Half-hardy Perennial. (See cut.)

ASTERS

ASTERS are one of the most important summer and autumn
flowers, and receive special care at our hands. Our list
comprises only such sorts as can be planted with perfect
confidence that nothing better is procurable, no matter at what
price or from what source.

The earlv sorts begin blooming in July, followed by the
midseason kinds, which flower during August; then the late-
flowering varieties, which are at their best through September.

It is quite easy, therefore, with a little care in the selection
of the varieties, to have Asters in flower from the first days in
July until hard frost.

Asters will thrive in any good soil, prepared in the same way
as you would for a crop of vegetables, but it is well to remember
that any extra care taken in the preparation of the soil is repaid
by finer plants, larger blooms, with longer stems and more
profuse flowering. They should have an open, sunny position,
and prefer a good, heavy, loamy soil, enriched with a liberal
quantity of thoroughly rotted manure, and the addition of
wood ashes or air-slaked lime, and we do not advise growing
them on the same ground two years in succession. Sow either
in the open ground in May, or in March or April in cold frame,
spent hotbed or pots or boxes in the house, covering the seed
with about one-fourth inch of good soil. When the plants are
strong enough transplant about 18 inches apart in deeply dug
well-prepared, beds. Half-hardy Annual.

Giant Branching Asters

This superb strain is of American
origin and is especially adapted to our
climatic conditions.

The plants form strong, branching
bushes, 2 to 2 J4 feet high, bearing on
long, strong stems their handsome
Chrysanthemum-like flowers, which
under ordinary cultivation, average 4
inches across. The form of the flowers,
together with the length of the stems,
places them at the head of Asters for
cutting. They come into bloom from
two to three weeks after the average
type, usually being at their best during
September.

among shrubbery or forming a background for other flowers it is without
an equal. Seed sown any time before mid-summer will produce fine plants
for flowering next year. To get results this season it is necessary to get
year-old plants. These we offer with other hardy plants under their proper
heads. Hardy Perennial.

a Petunia blossom, but with a longer tube. The

Type of Mastodon Pansy

PANSY

PANSY seed has always been a leading specialty
with us. Seed germinates best while soil is still
cool and moist. Would advise sowing in shallow
drills in seed-bed early in Spring when the trees are
starting out in leaf, and again in September when
the weather becomes cool. As above stated, plants
from the Spring-sown seed flower with great freedom
throughout Spring, Summer and Fall, while the stocky
young plants grown in Fall and Winter produce the largest
and finest flowers early the following Spring. Take care of
the weakest looking seedlings, as they usually give the finest
flowers. Half-hardy Perennial.

ANNUAL PHLOX

FEW flowers are so easy to grow from seed, so pretty and
compact in habit, so quick to bloom, or give such a brilliant
display of color for so little cost and care. The first sowing
should be made as soon as the frost is out of the ground in
Spring, later ones in May, either where the plants are to bloom
or in a seed-bed, as the Phlox transplants readily. (See cut.)

bright green, fern-like foliage, formed in tufts, from which
issue slender stalks about 12 inches high, bearing their
brilliant flowers in endless profusion; most useful for cutting,
for which purpose pick when in bud, for if the seed pods are
picked off, they continue in flower the entire season. They
remain evergreen throughout the Winter, coming into bloom
early the following Spring. Hardy Perennial.

McCULLOUGH’S SELECT SWEET PEAS

It Would be an Easy Matter for Us to Greatly Extend Our List; but We Think it Best to Confine
Our Offers to Such Sorts as are Really First-Class.

HOW TO GROW SWEET PEAS. — The principal essential for the best success is a cool, deep, moist soil, and a sunny
situation. The ground should be prepared deep and rich. Fall preparation, where possible, is preferable, but if done
in the spring, use no green manure. Bone meal is good if old rotted manure can not be obtained. Sow early, as Sweet
Peas need the cold, moist spring ground to make the root growth. In the latitude of Cincinnati, February is not too early.
In the South, sow in the fall. Sow the seed in deep furrows, the bottom of which must be at least 6 inches below the level
of the soil; this is to guard against a summer drought. Cover the seeds only one inch, after which the furrow is still five
inches deep. When the plants are 2 or 3 inches high, thin out to 2 inches apart and fill in another inch or so of soil around
the plants, always leaving a portion of the plant above the surface; do this at intervals until the furrow is nearly full; it
should always remain a little hollow to hold the rains, and to allow water to be applied by the bucketful when necessary.

During dry weather they should be watered thoroughly and frequently and given an application of liquid manure
once a week. A mulch of hay or rakings from the lawn will be found beneficial during hot weather. The flowers should
be picked as often as possible, and all withered blooms should be removed, to prevent the plants from running to seed, which
would stop them from blooming.

New Early Flowering Spencers

NOTHING within recent years can approach in importance the
introduction of the “Spencer” Sweet Peas. They are distinguished
from the standard sorts by the enormous flowers with crinkled and
wavy petals, and also from the fact that they usually bear four blossoms
on a long stout stem.

In presenting the following varieties of Spencer Sweet Peas we
wish to emphasize the fact that these are the “Early Flowering Spencers”
and are separate and distinct from the late or standard Spencer types,
as they continue blooming two to three weeks longer than the standard
Spencer varieties.

colored, duplexed, well waved and borne in
fours and threes very floriferously on strong
vines. . . . Yz oz., 60c; oz., $1.00; 10c pkt.

‘Suburban” TLavrn (Brass See6

WILL MAKE A BETTER LAWN THAN TURF OR SOD

IS a mixture of the finest Dwarf Evergreen Grasses that grow and flourish during
different months of the year so that a rich, deep green, velvety lawn is con-
stantly maintained. Our mixture is the result of several years experimenting,
and, as we now offer it, is unequaled. The quantity required for making a new
lawn is four bushels (64 lbs.) per acre, or for renovating old lawns, two bushels (32 lbs.) per acre. For a plot 15x20, or
300 square feet, one pound is required for a new lawn, or about one-half pound for renovating.

If it is honestly made, a lawn seed mixture is very much to be preferred to any single grass, because the several
varieties of grasses which compose it, mature at different seasons of the year, thus keeping the green sward in good color and
condition during the hot weather, not losing its color, as the single variety is liable to do.

How to Make a Lawn. — The matchless beauty of a well kept lawn instantly commands the attention of all lovers
of the beautiful in Nature, because a fine lawn is an unfailing mark of intelligence and taste, to obtain which the main
point is to start right. Seed will make a better lawn than turf or sod. The best soil is a good medium texture; the
surface should be thoroughly pulverized and smoothed to the desired grade; remove all large stones, roots and hardened
pieces of earth that can not be readily broken, ample time being allowed for the thorough settling of the soil, which is
greatly aided by a few heavy showers of rain. When the soil is firm, level and suitably moist, sow “Suburban” Lawn
Grass Seed at the rate of four bushels (64 lbs.) per acre. It is unwise to be too economical in the quantity of seed used,
if the best results are desired. The seed should be sown broadcast and as evenly as possible, then give a thorough rolling
or pat well with the back of a spade. The seed must be well firmed in the soil. When the young grass attains a height
of 4 or 5 inches, carefully mow with a sharp scythe. After this, according to the season, it should be mown with a lawn
mower every week or ten days.

General Surface Renovating. — When your lawn has been established, you will find it to your advantage to lightly
re-seed each season. As early as possible, carefully rake off all dead leaves, etc., and give the lawn a dressing of our
pulverized SHEEP MANURE, or our PURE BONE MEAL at the rate of at least 500 pounds per acre, and rake in,
after which sow our “Suburban” Lawn Grass Seed at the rate of two bushels (32 lbs.) to the acre; roll thoroughly
or pat with the back of a spade.

Renovating in Spots or Patches. — Everyone is aware that even in the best-kept lawns unsightly spots devoid
of grass will appear, which are caused by root-destroying insects; and as these spots are not protected by a covering of
turf during the winter, as a natural consequence, the chemical elements in the soil are leached out by the action of the
weather, causing them to “cake” or become hard early in the spring. It is useless and a waste of seed to sow these
spots unless they are carefully prepared to receive the seed. For this purpose it is our practice to cover them with either
of the fertilizers mentioned above at the rate of 13 lbs. for each 300 square feet, then dig these spots up, and after
raking until no trace of the fertilizers can be seen, sow our “Suburban” Lawn Grass Seed at the rate of 1 lb. to each
300 square feet. Roll thoroughly or pat with the back of a spade. When any weeding is done on the lawn immediately
drop a few grains of seed wherever a weed is removed, and while the soil is disturbed press the seed into the soil.

Prices: — y2 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.75; y2 bu., (8) lbs., $2.65; per bu. of 16 lbs., $5.00.

Postage Must Be Added if Wanted by Mail. See Postal Rates, Second Page of Cover.

with moss. If such is the case, the moss should first be removed by the use of a sharp rake, then apply Evr Green Lawn
Lime to sweeten it, and after another thorough raking, apply commercial fertilizer at the rate of not less than 600 pounds

HAYING specialized for over three-quarters of a century
in all varieties of Grass Seeds and having become
familiar with the habits and characteristics of all
cultivated grasses, we were prepared to develop the Mixture
of Grasses herewith offered by us, after making a careful
study of the requirements for producing the most substantial
turf for Putting Greens.

The numerous testimonials we have received establishes
the fact that our Mixture of Grasses will produce the results
desired, because it has given thorough satisfaction wherever
used, and produces a thick, tough, beautiful green turf.
The varieties comprising this Mixture of Grasses are all the
finest- bladed, low-growing and most hardy kinds, and will
maintain their rich, velvety green color throughout the sea-

of experiments conducted on our grounds, as well as careful
observation for several years of the practical results ob-
tained on those golf links for which we have supplied the
seed. We have always on hand all the natural grasses of
Europe and America and we are familiar with the habits and
merits of each. We shall be glad to prescribe for whatever
the requirements of the links may be; for poor lands or rich,
high and dry, or low and wet.

We wish to emphasize the fact that one of the important essentials for success in building lawns, lies in the abundant
use of fertilizers, which should be applied at the rate of not less than 600 pounds per acre.

McCULLOUGH’S MIXED GRASSES For Meadows and Pastures

AFTER years of experimenting we have aided largely in establishing the fact that a thicker and more prolonged growth
is produced by a mixture of several varieties than when only one or two are used. There are always certain Grasses
that are especially adapted to certain kinds of soils, and these are so carefully combined in our mixtures that in our
Mixture for Permanent Pastures, grasses will be found that mature at intervals during the season, thereby insuring
continuous pasturage, while our Mixture for Permanent Meadow will furnish excellent hay as well as late pasturage.

We are prepared to furnish seeds adapted to all soils and all situations, and for all purposes, composed of Grasses
for light, medium or heavy soils; by light soil we mean that which is more or less of a sandy or gravelly nature; the heavy,
clay and heavy loams; while the medium is an intermediate between these two. A light, wet soil, with respect to the
Grasses suited to it, may be considered same as to the heavy soils, and a dry, heavy soil, more as to light soils.

Our best mixture is made entirely with our choice recleaned seeds, while in our second quality we use the same
seeds, but without recleaning, and will be equal to the qualities usually to be had on the market. Our mixtures will all
have a uniform weight of 16 pounds to the bushel. Quantity to be used per acre, one and one-half to two bushels, and
half this quantity for renovating. In ordering, always state the soil and position on which you wish to use it.

View of a Field of Alfalfa Clover grown in territory contiguous to Cincinnati

Alfalfa, or Lucerne (Medicago Sativa) I

ALFALFA is one of the most profitable crops the dair yman
L or stock farmer can raise, due to the high yield of
palatable hay which contains a large percentage of
protein. Alfalfa as grown in the United States yields more
than twice the digestable nutriments that Red Clover
does and more than three times the digestable protein to
the acre. Alfalfa and corn make a perfectly balanced
ration. Many farmers are using it in their rotation to take
the place of Red Clover. This practice is satisfactory where
the soil contains a large supply of lime and organic matter
and the seed has been inoculated, or the land has been in
Alfalfa previously.

Alfalfa is best adapted to steep limestone hillsides and
gravelly river bottoms, where the water can get away from
the roots. Will grow on acid soils providing the water is
drained off and sufficient lime is added to correct the acidity.

Seeding Alfalfa

The ground should be plowed in late fall and worked
in spring once or twice to kill the weeds. If the land is
acid it should be limed at the rate of three tons ground
limestone to the acre. With a Wheat drill sow 20 to 25
lbs. of best grade non-irrigated inoculated Alfalfa seed with
one bushel of 60 day Oats as a nurse crop to the acre any time
between' April 15th and May 10th. Apply 400 lbs. of a
good high grade fertilizer, carrying a small per cent of
ammonia and high per cent of phosphorus to the acre.

If land is to be seeded following early potatoes, work ground
up with disc and drag down. Sow seed the same as in
spring, omitting the Oats as a nurse crop. Where land is
being seeded to Alfalfa for the first time it will pay to
inoculate the seed with Edwards’ Legume Bacteria for
Alfalfa. The bacteria will be present and if there is not
enough available nitrogen present they will gather the
nitrogen from the air and supply your young plants, thus
insuring a good stand.

We offer American grown seed raised in the North-
west and West on non-irrigated land. It is free as possible
from noxious weeds. (60 lbs. per bushel.)

Prices on application.

Montana Alfalfa

A hardy variety from the non-irrigated or dry lands of
eastern Montana, where the climate is severe. Under
ordinary conditions the seed will serve all purposes where
hardiness is required and we advise giving the “Montana”
a trial wherever it has been difficult to grow other varieties.
Sow in spring or fall at the rate of 15 to 20 lbs. per acre.
We have secured a supply of strictly high quality seed.

Per lb., 60c; 10 lbs., $5.50; 100 lbs., $50.00.

Price on cheaper grades given on application.

Grimm Alfalfa

This variety of Alfalfa is being raised all over the
United States. It seems to be much hardier than common
Alfalfa, which is due to the division of its root system,
enabling it to withstand freezing and thawing weather,
droughts and other hardships which the common alfalfa
will not endure.

We have this season secured a supply of Genuine Seed
of this variety, grown by specialists in northern Idaho, where
the soil and climatic conditions are most favorable for its
development, consequently there can be no comparison
between the quality of the seed offered by us and that
offered from other sources of supply. When comparing
prices kindly bear this fact in mind.

To secure a stand the following requirements are essen-
tial— good seed bed, limestone soil, or addition of 3 tons
of fine ground limestone per acre, inoculation of seed, and
plenty of available plant food. Sow in the spring or fall
of year at the rate of 15 to 20 lbs. per acre

Per lb., $1.00; 10 lbs., $9.00.

Crimson, or Scarlet Clover

(Trifolium Incarnatum)

Crimson, Scarlet or Carnation Clover

THIS Clover is grown in Italy, France, Great Britain
and other European countries Was introduced into
this country in 1822 and has proved especially adapted
to the light sandy soils of the Eastern and Southern parts
of the United Sates. Largely used as a cover crop in
orchards.

If seeded in August it makes an early growth in the
autumn, passes the winter in a somewhat dormant but green
state, makes a very early spring growth and matures its
seed and dies before summer. It makes little or no growth
in very hot weather.

Crimson Clover should be seeded shallow on a moist,
reasonably fertile, well drained, well settled seed bed. In-
oculation is essential when seeding the first time.

Crimson Clover makes a good cover crop to be sowed
on potato fields after the potatoes are dug. It makes a
good growth in the fall and early spring and may be plowed
under for potatoes the following spring.

It may be seeded alone following any farm crop which
can be removed from the land by early summer, so that
seed can be sown in late summer or very early fall. It may
also be seeded for hay in mixture with grain, such as Wheat,
Rye, Barley or Winter Oats, which are ready to cut for hay
at about the same time as the Clover the following spring.
Apply seed at the rate of 12 to 14 lbs. per acre.

Per lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.25.

Bokhara or Sweet Clover

SWEET Clover is a biennial plant, which closely resembles Alfalfa. It requires practically
the same soil treatment as Alfalfa, but will grow under a wider variation of soil conditions
than Alfalfa.

Three things are essential — lime, inoculation and scarified seed. If
the land has raised Alfalfa previously, then the addition of lime may not
be necessary. Inoculation with Edwards’ Legume Bacteria tends to
insure a stand, by securing nitrogen for the young plant at a time when
it needs it the most. Scarified seed is seed that has been so treated as
to scratch or crack the hard coating and make it easy for moisture to
penetrate and hasten germination, thus insuring a stand.

When Sweet Clover is inoculated it gathers nitrogen from the air
and stores it up in the soil for the use of future crops.

Yellow Flowered. (Melilotus Officinalis.) Is a beinnial producing seed
the second year and will reseed itself if left undisturbed. It is the
variety which is best adapted for hay, as it blossoms three weeks
earlier than the White Sweet Clover, has a finer stem and does
not grow so tall. It makes excellent pasture where 10 to 15 lbs.
of seed is mixed with 6 lbs. of Timothy sowed in Wheat or Rye, then
pastured in the fall. The following spring the Sweet Clover will be
three weeks earlier than any other grass, thus making a fineearly pasture.

When sowing unhulled seed in the fall with Wheat for hay,
apply 10 to 15 lbs. per acre. Do not sow unhulled seed m the spring
and expect results the same year.

Yellow Flowered, Unhulled Seed Per lb., 30c; 10 lbs., $2.75.

Yellow Flowered, Hulled Seed, Scarified. Per lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.25.

Alsike or Swedish Clover

White Flowered. (Melilotus Alba.) Is a biennial pro-
ducing seed the second year and will reseed itself if
left undisturbed.

The White Sweet Clover is much coarser than
the yellow, and is especially well adapted for soiling
purposes. Many farmers are taking advantage of
this crop in the bottoms where annual flooding prevents
the use of Red Clover in a crop rotation, com being
planted year after year with an occasional crop of
wheat. Scarified seed which has been inoculated is
sown at the rate of 15 lbs. per acre in the corn at the
last cultivation. This makes a growth of 10 to 15
inches by the time the com is husked off of the stalk
in the fall, and is plowed under late the following spring
for com.

It is being widely used where farmers wish to
shorten their crop rotation and secure a crop of hay.
To do this sow scarified seed which has been inoculated
with Edwards’ Legume Bacteria in the Wheat, from
the middle of April to the 1st of May, at the rate of
15 lbs. per acre. The following September as much
as one ton of hay per acre may be cut from this land
and the next May the second growth may be turned
under for com. The Sweet Clover, being young and
tender, rots early and forms a mulch which holds the
water, thus making ideal conditions for a good com
crop. Mr. R. E. Simonds, of Miamitown, Ohio,
won the Ohio State Championship in the 10 acre com
growing contest in 1917 with a yield of 102 bushels of
com per acre by practising this method. Farmers can
increase their yield of com from one-third to one-half
by using Sweet Clover as a green manure crop.

White or Dutch Clover ('gep0e1i")m

THIS variety thrives on nearly all soils; is a low close-
growing Clover and on account of its earliness and
hardiness should be used in mixtures for permanent
pastures. Is very hardy, spreads rapidly, acts as a binder,
and when mixed with other grasses for lawn purposes is very
desirable. Is also excellent for bee food. Sow 6 to 8 lbs.

to 10 feet high. Stems erect, unbranched, very leafy; and
three to four cuttings, 4 ^ to 6 M tons per acre of dry, sweet
hay that cattle prefer to Cow Pea hay. Ripe for hay cutting
in 70 days, and cut every 30 days following. Plant from
March to July in 18 to 30 inch rows, 5 pounds to acre, or
broadcast 10 pounds. Each seed stools wonderfully — 20
to 40 stools per seed.

NOTE: — On account of the similarity of this seed
to Johnson Grass Seed, we have gone to a great deal of
trouble and expense to procure seed that we have every
reason to believe is free from this seed.

There are all kinds of Sudan Grass Seed on the market,
and on this account you should be doubly careful. Buy your
seed from a reputable house at a reasonable price.

FARM, FIELD, FORAGE AND SILO SEEDS-Continued

SOY, OR SOJA BEANS

The Great Land Renovator

The King of Summer Forage Crops

THIS very valuable farm plant enriches the ground in which it is planted
by the free nitrogen gathered from the air and which is deposited
in the ground by the roots, leaving it in ideal condition and rich in
nitrogen for the next crop. Fodder is relished in either green or dry form
by cattle and dairy cows.

The Soy or Soja Bean, is an annual. Its character or growth resem-
bles ordinary field beans. During the past few years the United States
Department of Agriculture and State Experiment Stations have tested
manv varieties of Soy Beans and pronounce it a forage and grain plant
of great promise. They are grown chiefly for hay, grain, silage, soiling,
pasture and as a soil renovator; are not hard to grow, not exacting to the
character of soil and a valuable plant for forage: some claim they have
a higher protein content than Alfalfa. These beans should not be seeded
until all danger of frost is past and the ground is thoroughly warmed, and
usually sown from the middle of May until July.

It is best to plant beans only about one or two inches deep, or as
shallow as moisture supply will permit, for the formation of a crust may
prevent the beans from growing. If grown for seed or silage, in drills
24 to 30 inches apart, sow about 3 pecks per acre. If grown for hay or
soiling, the foliage will be of a finer quality and be consumed with less waste;
drilled solid, or sown broadcast, using from 1 H to 2 bushels per acre.
For hay, cut when pod begins to form. For grain, cut just before beans
are ripe, or, when pods are beginning to take on a brownish or black
appearance. For Silage, cut as near maturing as possible without dropping
the leaves.

can furnish

Will Quote Prices on Application

Southern Grown

Early Black. Some times known as Tar Heel or Ebony
Black. Mature considerably earlier than Mammoth
Yellow and considered superior. Also produces a fine
crop of Hay, and believe will mature a crop of Beans
in this section if sown early.

Early Brown. This is a good variety, producing a large
crop of hay, but not quite as early as the Early Black.

Mammoth Yellow. One of the oldest and best known
varieties, producing a large hay crop and a fine fertilizer,
giving good satisfaction at all times.

Northern Grown

Ito San. Early Yellow seeded variety; being 10 to 15 days
earlier than the Medium Green; will mature seed in
this section, and a good hay producer.

Mongol. Early variety and of yellowish cast and produces
both seed and hay in this section; recommended very
highly.

Medium Brown. A few days later than the Medium
Green, grows a little taller with seeds of somewhat
larger size and does not shatter as badly. Will give
a good yield of seed, also first class hay crop.

Medium Early Green. The earliest and one of the oldest
and best known sorts, which has become quite a favorite
North of the Ohio River both for seed and forage crop.
Grows 24 to 38 inches in height ; stems medium stout —
^ to ^ inch in diameter. The leaves are very dark
green, full and large in center, while the edges are
freely curled. Pods of medium size, 1 to 1^ inches
long. Color of seeds, bright green. The branches are
usually far enough above the ground to permit easy
harvesting.

VETCHES OR TARES

THIS has been used in Europe for many years as a stock
food and green manuring or cover crop. It fertilizes
the ground without further trouble or cost, on account
of the free nitrogen it gathers from the air. It produces
a peculiar vine plant with very narrow foliage and elongated
flowers of pinkish white in clusters. The height when
supported is frequently 4 feet.

Sand, Hairy, or Winter Vetch. (Vicia Yillosa.) Our
stock of this is the true type, which will absolutely
five throughout the winter, and buyers should beware
when buying that they procure the right article, which
is a small, round, black seed; this is far superior to
Crimson Clover, as it never winter-kills. Sow from
August 1st to October 1st, broadcast, 1 to 1 H bushels
per acre, to which we suggest adding half a bushel
of winter rye or wheat. In the Spring it can be plowed
in as green manure, or when in flower cut for hay.
All stock relish it keenly. (60 lbs. per bushel.)

Market Price.

Spring Vetch. (Vicia Sativa.) The seed of this is larger
and of a brownish gray color. It is not hardy and
must, therefore, be sown in the Spring during Maj-
or June, 1 to 2 bushels per acre if broadcast and 1
bushel if in drills, with either Spring wheat. Spring
Rye or Oats for support. It possesses very much the
same desirable features as the Winter Vetch. (60 lbs.
per bushel.)

For larger quantities

COW PEAS

The Great Soil Improvers — Makes Poor Land
Rich — Makes Good Land More Productive.

COW-PEAS make one of the largest yielding and most
nutritious forage crops grown. There is also no surer
or cheaper means of improving and increasing the
productiveness of your soils than by sowing the Cow-Peas.

There is a wide difference between Cow Peas and
Canadian Peas. Bear in mind that the Southern Cow
Peas belong to the Bean family, therefore, must not be
sown until the ground is thoroughly warm and all danger
from frost is past. The value as a fertilizing crop exceeds
that of clover, for, in addition to being a larger nitrogen
gatherer than the clover, they draw from the subsoil to the
surface large amounts of potash and phosphoric acid, thus
putting the soil in most excellent condition for following
crops. The feeding value of Cow Peas is very high, being con-
siderably above that of Red Clover. The yield of green
vines per acre runs ordinarily from 5 to 15 tons.

Sow 1M to 1 % bushels per acre, on land thoroughly
pulverized and disc or plow with a cultivator or double
shovel plow. If wanted for hay, cut when peas are forming;
cure as clover. If peas are for fertilizer, sow same quantity
after same preparation as for hay; turn under when peas
are in bloom. If farmers will first roll and disc peas they
will turn under much easier and be more satisfactory. For
a fertilizer, especially to be followed by wheat or corn,
they are simply the best.

Will Quote Prices on Application. All orders
accompanied with the money will be filled at the lowest

Early Black. Matures quickly, best variety for the extreme
northern sections of the country.

Whip-Poor-Will. An early variety, tall, upright, medium
yield of vines, large yield of peas, for which they are
particularly grown. Highly recommended for “hog-
ging down.”

Clay. The leading variety in the South. Large yield of
vines and peas, but require longer season to mature
than the former-named varieties.

New Era. Seed small, dun colored; earlier than Whip-
Poor-Will, but more trailing in habit. A great favorite
in many places.

Mixed Cow Peas. These are splendidly adapted for those
who merely wish same for feeding purposes, and being
mixed, we are able to offer them at a lower price.

SOJA BEANS and COW PEAS very scarce; will
quote prices on application.

CANADA FIELD PEAS

THESE are sown with oats about April 1st at the rate
of 1 H bushel of Peas and 1 H bushel of Oats to the
acre either drilled or broadcast. The oats are intended
as a support for the peas. They are cut just after the peas
flower and fed green; sheep, hogs and cattle relish them
keenly. They may be sown successively up to July if
one has the available land. Peas may also be sown alone
at the rate of 3 bushels per acre and furnish excellent pea
hay. For plowing under as green manure, they add a vast
amount of nitrogen to the soil, and succeeding crops, partic-
ularly wheat, are wonderfully benefited. The dried peas
are extensively fed to pigeons, while when ground as meal is
an excellent addition to the regular soft food of cows, sheep
and horses. (60 lbs. per bushel.)

Per lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.00; 100 lbs., $7.50.

FARM. FIELD, FORAGE AND SILO SEEDS-Continued

SOWING RAPE

A FORAGE plant of highest value. It can be sown
in April for an early crop, and for fall crop in July,

August and September, and still later further South.

In a few weeks from the time of sowing, sheep hogs
or cattle can be turned on it. Under favorable condi-
tions Rape is ready for pasturing sheep or cattle within
six weeks from time of sowing, and on an average one
acre will carry 12 to 15 sheep six weeks to two months.

When on the Rape they should at all times have access
to salt. Pigs and cattle are also very fond of it. Rape
has a high feeding value. It is excellent for fattening
sheep and swine, produces an abundant flow of milk in
cows, and is the ideal pasture for weaning lambs. Its
value as sheep pasture has been demonstrated in every
State in the Union, and it is recommended by authorities
everywhere as of superior value for hogs, furnishing the
finest pasturage, or can be fed after cutting. Rape has
strong-growing roots which penetrate the ground for a
considerable depth. A rich, loamy soil is preferable,
but it does well on sandy or stiff clays, and is excellent
for sowing after a crop of wheat has been taken off, or
when corn has been worked the last time. The plant is
a rank grower and should have heavy manuring. Sow
the seed by the end of June and the crop can be ready to
feed at a season when it is most needed. It does well sown with oats. After oats are cut, the Rape grows rapidly. If the
soil is rich and clean, sow broadcast; if not so clean, sow in drills and cultivate as for corn. When sown broadcast, use five
to six pounds, and if in drills, two to three pounds to the acre Per lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.00.

SPELTZ OR EMMER

THIS grain resembles wheat but is a much larger yielder,
producing frequently as high as 80 bushels of grain
per acre, and that on the poorest land. The hay, if
cut green is desirable for horse or cattle feed, while the
straw after thrashing, is equal to the best wheat straw.

The heads are somewhat similar to two-rowed barley.
For fattening cattle, poultry, horses, sheep, pigs, etc., it
is claimed to be ahead of any other grains. Cultivation
similar to wheat or oats. Sow at the rate of 50 to 60 lbs.
per acre. Per lb., 10c; 10 lbs., 65c; bushel of 40 lbs., $2.00.

WHITE NAVY BEANS

PLANTED in June or July, these usually make a very
profitable crop to grow as shelled white beans for market.
Plant in rows three feet apart, dropping two or three
beans together a foot apart in the rows. Cultivate early,
as they grow rapidly, but do not work them while the dew
is on the foliage. (60 lbs. per bushel.) Special price on

VELVET BEANS

Velvet Beans make a larger growth of vines than any
other known forage plant, far surpassing the Cow Pea in
yield. They are usually planted in rows about five feet
apart, at the rate of a peck to one and one-quarter pecks
per acre. Grown mostly in the South. Write for prices.

FIELD CORN

Northern Grown Seed

OUR strains of Corn are not the common kinds usually
found in abundance on the market; we pay special
attention to the selecting of stocks in all lines of farm
seeds. This is particularly true of Field Corn where re-
selection means the limit of crops with little or no increase
in cost. It is amazing to realize that where the old unse-
lected seed is used the average crop per acre is only half,
compared to the more intelligent selection of strains. Our
stock is selected for size of ear and fodder, which means a
considerable increase in production. (56 lbs. per bushel.)

Plant 8 to 10 quarts per acre in hills, sow 2 to 3
bushels broadcast for fodder.

Purposes, Superior Both in Quality
and Productiveness.

Prices of Potatoes are unsettled at
time our catalogue is printed. We will
always fill orders from customers at our
lowest prevailing prices for first-class seed
potatoes, or we will cheerfully quote prices
at any time upon request.

Any good, well-drained, fibrous loam
will produce Potatoes under right climatic
conditions. For early Potatoes, which
mature in 8 to 10 weeks from planting,
the soil must be particularly rich. A rich
clover sod, manured and broken the year
before and planted to corn, beans, peas,
oats, etc., is in best shape for giving a good
yield of nice clean Potatoes. Stable manure
had better be applied to the land the year
before.

Potatoes are planted early and late. Cut
2 to 3 eyes to a piece. Plant in rows or hills
about 3 feet apart and about 15 to 18 inches
apart in the hills or rows. Cover the seed four
inches, but not so deep in wet, cold land.

When the sprouts appear, cultivate and hoe to keep the
soil free and clear of weeds. As the vines increase, draw
earth around them, forming a slight ridge. Just as soon
as the bugs appear use Paris Green or Arsenate of Lead.
One peck will plant about 100 feet of row, or 100 hills.
Ten bushels are required to plant an acre.

Carman No. 3

Enormously prolific, averaging nearly a pound apiece;
very uniform in shape, white skinned, few and shallow
eyes; flesh snow-white and of exceptionally fine cooking
qualities.

Early Ohio (Red River Stock)

The Early Ohio is fully two weeks ahead of the Early
Rose, and is a general favorite with potato growers and
market-men alike and is the most profitable Potato they
can possibly grow. The sprouts are very strong; the vines
grow erect and are easy to cultivate. Maturing early, it
brings the highest prices, and the land can be used for
another crop after it; does well on any soil suitable for
Potatoes. The tubers grow compact in the hill, are easily
dug, with very few small ones — nearly every Potato is of
marketable size; has few eyes, which are even with the
surface. With heavy manuring, close planting and good
culture, a very large and profitable crop can be expected.
Cooks dry and mealy.

Early Rose

The Early Rose still continues one of the most popular
varieties on our list. It is productive, of most excellent
table qualities, and a most satisfactory all-around early
variety. The stock which we offer is of extra quality and
the best that can be obtained of this variety.

Chicago Market

Very popular, early, good quality and yields well.

Rural New Yorker

A valuable variety of large size; very smooth and a
great cropper; in quality unexcelled. It is the best late,
long keeper, and we recommend it highly.

White Star

A medium early variety of fine quality and appearance :
large, oblong, uniform-sized tubers, remarkably productive.

White Elephant

Late, large, enormously productive, and of excellent
flavor.

Hoosier Boy

A late variety and very productive.

Early Six Weeks

Extra early, oblong in shape; flesh solid; cooks dry
and mealy. ^

Early Triumph

It is from seven to ten days earlier than the Ohio,
and that often means a difference of many dollars in the
crop. The Potato is of good size, squared at the ends.
Skin is red, flesh is very white and firm. It is productive.

Irish Cobbler

Bull Moose

Large white potatoes with a small number of eyes,
smooth and pares with little or no waste. It is used ex-
clusively as a second crop potato. It yields well if planted
by the first of July. Yields of 25 to 30 bushels from one
bushel of seed are not uncommon.

Seed Sweet Potatoes

Yellow and Red Jersey, Red Bermuda and South-
ern Queen. Write for prices. Ready for shipment about
April 1. For plants, see page 34.

One of the first varieties of Potatoes to be ready for
market, and therefore will command a good price. The
skin is creamy-white, sometimes netted, which is an indi-
cation of good quality; eyes are strong, well-developed, and
but slightly indented. The flesh is white and of fine flavor.

Beauty of Hebron

This is a very superior table variety. It is about a
week later than the Early Rose, but claimed to be more
productive. It is a white-fleshed Potato, and of most
superior flavor, desirable for private growers and the home
market.

Burbank

A white-skinned, medium early variety, with few
eyes; flesh fine-grained and good flavor. Continues in good
demand. It is of good size, of fine form and an excellent
yielder. The flesh is white, very mealy and of fine flavor
and quality. The best Potato for baking. This variety is
well adapted to heavy soils.

NOTICE.

We handle the very best seed potatoes it is possible
to obtain.

All seed potatoes nowadays are more or less infected
with fungous diseases. In order to secure the best
results we would advise treating the seed potatoes before
cutting.

The potatoes should be immersed for 1 H horns in a
solution of Yi oz. Corrosive Sublimate, mixed in 3 %
gallons of water, then spread them out to dry before
cutting. This quantity of solution is sufficient to treat
five bushels of potatoes.

NOTE; — Corrosive Sublimate should be used in
wooden or earthen-ware vessels, since it corrodes metals.

When occasion requires, write us for further informa-
tion on fungous diseases and insect pests.

INCREASE YOUR

YTFI D OF ALFALFA, CLOVERS, VETCH,
COW PEAS, SOY BEANS

and other Legumes by inoculating your seed with

EDWARDS’ LEGUME BACTERIA

THE chief value of legumes for use either as food or as green manure lies in
their high content of nitrogen. With the aid of certain kinds of bacteria, the
legumes can get their supply of nitrogen from the air. These bacteria live
and grow in the soil, and as the new plants start to grow, the bacteria “burrow
into” the roots, grow there and produce nodules or tubercles, visible to the eye
as little bunches on the smaller roots. Diming this process the bacteria take
nitrogen from the air and give it to the plants. Unless the plants have these
legume bacteria growing on their roots they will not make a successful growth.

On land where it is hard to get a good catch of legumes, or on which a new
crop is to be sown, the right kind of bacteria must be supplied by inoculation.
One method that has been recommended in times past is to spread over the field
to be seeded, soil from a field that has grown the same crop. This method is
cumbersome, expensive, and is apt to introduce into the soil seeds of bad weeds,
or fungous or bacterial plant diseases, hence it is not a desirable method.

Seed Inoculation Simple

The best method of inoculation is to treat the seed before it is sown with
a pure culture of the right kind of bacteria for that particular crop. By this
method the inoculation can be done in a few minutes’ time, and the bacteria
are carried into the soil with the seed in ample numbers to insure inoculation of
the roots with consequent increased growth of the crop, and with no risk of
introducing seeds of bad weeds or germs of plant or animal diseases.

VALUABLE Results of Seed Inoculation

The pure culture method of seed inoculation is endorsed by the Federal
Department of Agriculture and many of the State Experiment Stations. Ex-
periments show that in practically every instance where the soil was inoculated,
a more vigorous growth resulted. In many cases the difference was the difference
between success and a total failure. Considering the ease and slight expense
of inoculation a farmer can ill afford to risk a loss by not inoculating.

Another valuable result of inoculation is that the roots of a well-inoculated
legume crop will contain much more nitrogen than those of a crop not inoculated,
hence they would be of much greater benefit when such a field was ploughed for a
succeeding crop. Still another point is that in case of a crop like alfalfa, well-inoc-
ulated plants being much more vigorous, do not winter-kill as easily as plants
from uninoculated seed.

Alfalfa plants from inoculated and
uninoculated seed. “The ruler is 12
inches long. The bunches of alfalfa are
fair average samples from the treated
and untreated plots.

Reliability of Edwards’ Legume Bacteria

All the requirements for successful inoculation are met in the cultures of EDWARD’S LEGUME BACTERIA. These
cultures are manufactured by the method originated and successfully followed for ten years at the Ontario Agricultural

College and the stock cultures were secured from the Bacteriological Laboratory
of that institution. There can, therefore, be no question as to their effi-
ciency. They are prepared under the personal supervision of S. F. Edwards,
formerly instructor in Bacteriology at the Michigan Agricultural College, In-
structor in Bacteriology in the College of Medicine at the University of
Michigan, and for nine and one-half years Professor of Bacteriology at the
Ontario Agricultural College. The cultures are made according to the best
principles of the science of Bacteriology, and especial attention is given to keeping
up the vigor and nitrogen-gathering power of the bacteria.

Cultures are made and kept in stock for legume crops as follows: Alfalfa,

Sweet Clover, Red Clover, Alsike Clover, Crimson Clover, White Dutch Clover,
Field or Garden Beans, Lima Beans, Soja Beans, Field or Garden Peas, Sweet
Peas, Vetches, Cowpeas. Of this list the same culture can be used for either
Alfalfa or Sweet Clover, and likewise, the same culture can be used for
Red, Alsike, Crimson and Dutch Clovers. All the other crops require
a different culture for each as named. The entire culture may be used on
less than the amount of seed for which it is made without harm to the seed. The
cultures are good for six months after leaving the laboratory. The cultures are
sent by mail or express prepaid, with full directions for use.

EDWARDS’ LEGUME BACTERIA cultures are made in three sizes:

To inoculate 30 pounds of seed $0.60

To inoculate 60 pounds of seed 1.20

To inoculate 300 pounds of seed 6.00

Trial package for Beans, Garden Peas and Sweet Peas, 30 cents each.
Directions for use on each package.

In ordering, be sure to name crop to be inoculated.

These prices mean a very low cost per acre, the exact amount depending on
the amount of seed sown. The cost is less than to pay freight rates on soil from
a distance, or even to haul it from a neighbor’s field for soil inoculation, and the
labor is much less, as seed for several acres can be inoculated in a few minutes
with the pure cultures.

BEGONIAS
TUBEROUS- ROOTED

THEY are now used extensively for outdoor planting.
Give them a partially shaded position in a light soil
and well drained position, and they will give more
bloom than anv other plant which will grow in such a place.
A soil that will grow it to perfection is turfy matter scraped
from the bottom of old sod — one part, and one part sand.
Mix these well together, and you have a compost that is
friable, porous, and well adapted to any plants having fine,
fibrous roots. It is more satisfactory to apply plant-food
when needed, and in such quantities as seem to be required,
than to make the soil very rich from the start. Water very
cautiously until active growth begins, then increase the
amount. But at no time during its existence will the plant
require more than enough to make — and keep — the soil
moist all through. Good drainage should be provided to
guard against over- watering. (See cut.)

DAHLIAS

THE Dahlia is one of the most important Summer
and Autumn flowers. Commencing to flower in !
July, they are a perfect blaze of bloom until
stopped by frost. Especially fine for cut flowers.

One of the most important points in the culti-
vation of the Dahlia is to select a well-drained posi- i
tion where they will receive the full benefit of the
sun during the greater part of the day.

As to soil, they are not at all particular, except !
that in the case of a stiff clay some loose material I
should be added, such as coarse sand, old mortar,
or anything which will make the soil loose and
friable. The soil must be deeply dug, if possible to
a depth of two spades, and a liberal amount of
suitable plant food incorporated. For this nothing
is more satisfactory than well-decayed stable manure,
but where this can not be conveniently procured,
pure bone meal, sheep manure, or any chemical
fertilizer rich in ammonia and phosphoric acid will
answer as a substitute.

The planting of dormant roots in the latitude of
Cincinnati may be done at any time between April ;
25th and June 15th, the earlier planting being |
preferable. Plant the bulbs three inches below the !
surface of the ground, laying the bulb on its side. !
Do not crowd your plants, but plant at a distance
of not less than two and one-half or three feet, and
as soon as the shoots appear, remove all but two ;,l
or three of the strongest, and these, when about a j>
foot high should be secured to stout stakes.

Keep free from grass and weeds, and water regu-
larly in dry weather.

NOTE: — We fill all orders with strong, divided
dormant roots.

lEverbloomirtg Hf?bri6- Oca Closes

WE especially recommend this collection of Roses to
those who wish a supply of extra choice flowers for
cutting throughout the summer and fall months-
All roses thrive best when well watered, sprayed with
Hellebore and Bordeaux Mixture for insects and fungus,
and fed either by applications of manure water, or bone
meal at the rate of two pounds per square yard. The Hy-
brid Perpetuals are particularly susceptible to such treat-
ment and respond quickly.

WINTER PROTECTION. In this latitude, we have
found that the most satisfactory protection is to draw up
a mound of soil from eight to ten inches high around the
base of the plants, then cover the beds after the ground
begins to freeze with any oose material such as strawy
manure, evergreen boughs, or corn stalks, and in more
severe climates, heavier covering is all that is required.

ORIENTAL POPPIES

(Papaver Orientale)

THESE are the regal representatives of this popular
genus, far surpassing in splendor of bloom all the
annual and biennial kinds, and for a gorgeous display
of rich and brilliant coloring, nothing equals them during
their period of flowering in May and June, and whether
planted singly or in masses, their large flowers and free-
dom of bloom render them conspicuous in any position.
After flowering, the plants die back, usually re-appearing
along in early September, or as soon as the weather gets
cool. During this resting period, care should be taken in
cultivating the beds, that the roots are not disturbed, any
disturbance at this time usually resulting in failure. We
offer the following distinct varieties:

Ornamental JF lowcriitgSfyrubs

SHRUBS are as much a part of the garden as the lawn or
flower borders, and a well arranged planting presents an
attractive appearance throughout the entire year.

Shrubs have many uses — as a background to a flower
border, for hiding an unsightly building, fence or foundation,
or they may be planted in a mixed shrubbery border, in which
case those of short, dense growth should be planted along the
front of the border, graduating to the tall-growing kinds at
the back.

Thorough preparation of the soil by spading, and the addi-
tion of a liberal quantity of sheep or stable manure or bone
meal will be well repaid by strong, vigorous, healthy growth-
In planting, care should be taken not to overcrowd, allowing
sufficient room for future development, unless an immediate
effect is wanted — in which case they may be planted closer
and some of them moved when necessary. The majority of the
dwarf-growing kinds may be set about three feet apart, the
tall, strong growers about five feet apart.

Our Shrubs are transplanted every two or three years and
are furnished with plenty of fibrous roots and should not be
compared to stock that is never moved from the cutting beds
until sold.

.fruit Orees

SELECT thrifty young trees in preference to old or very
large ones; the roots are more tender and fibrous and they
bear transplanting better and are more apt to live; they
can also be more easily trimmed and shaped to any desired
form, and in the course of a few years will usually outstrip
the older ones in growth. If not prepared to plant when your
stock arrives, “heel in” by digging a trench deep enough to
admit all the roots, and setting the trees therein, carefully
pack the earth about the roots.

DEWBERRY

The Dewberry is a trailing or vine form of the Blackberry.
May be trained to run over stone piles, over rough embank-
ments or rocky hillsides and sometimes produces a very large
crop of fruit annually on land where no other crop could
be grown. The fruit is very large and always at a premium
with the commission men or on the open market.

We are only offering one variety which is considered the
best of all Dewberries now in cultivation.

CURRANTS, GOOSEBERRIES AND RASPBERRIES

By Express or Freight at Expense of Purchaser.

Impossible to Accept Orders for Small Fruits Totaling Less Than One Dollar.

CURRANTS Two-Year-Old Plants

A cool, moist soil is best adapted to the growth of Currants. Strong, moist loams
with a considerable mixture of clay, are good. Even, well-drained, stiff clay will give
good results.

The pruning is simple but very important. The younger the wood, the finer the
fruit. It is absolutely necessary, however, that a fair supply of the old wood be left
in order to insure productiveness. No wood over three years old should be allowed
to remain.

Cherry. Large, bright red berries with a thin skin and fine flavor.

Each, 45c; per dozen, $4.50.
Champion. This is one of the best black currants; fruit is above medium size, with

fine flavor Each, 45c; per dozen, $4.50.

Perfection. Color of fruit is a beautiful bright red, of large size and a rich, mild,

sub-acid flavor Each, 45c; per dozen, $4.50.

White Grape. The golden- white berries are borne is large, handsome clusters and
have a mild, sub-acid flavor Each, 45c; per dozen, $4.50.

GOOSEBERRIES

Two-Year-Old Plants

One of the hardiest of the bush
fruits. The best results are obtained
by planting in moist, but not soggy,
clay loam, but they will do reasonably
well in any well drained soil if they
are well fertilized once each year.

The Gooseberries bear most freely on
two and three year old wood. There-
fore, the aim should be to keep a con-
tinuous supply of vigorous shoots.

Prune freely to encourage upright
growth.

Downing. Large, pale green and
of splendid quality for both cook-
ing and table use.

Each, 50c; per dozen, $5.00.

Houghton’s. Small to medium;

roundish oval, pale red, sweet, tender.... Each, 50c; per dozen. $5.00.

Industry. The best English variety yet introduced. Berries large, dark red color

when ripe.: Each, 60c; per dozen, $6.00.

Smith’s Improved. Large, pale greenish yellow, skin thin, of excellent quality.

Each, 50c; per dozen, $5.00.

RASPBERRIES

Once the Raspberry patch is
established, it requires very little
cultivation. They will do well in
any good soil, but thrive best in
deep, moist (not over wet) soil.
The fighter loams are preferable
for the red varieties, while the
heavier loams suit the black
varieties best.

Pinch back the black varieties
early when the young canes are
about three feet high, in order
to keep the bushes snug and
compact. Mulching will prove
beneficial to both varieties, both
in summer and winter. Black
c ps should be planted in the
spring.

St. Regis. It is wonderfully prolific, the first or main crop
being far greater than that of any other red variety
known. It fruits on the old c .nes in generous quanti-
ties until late in August. By that date, berries begin
to ripen upon the young canes, which continue to pro-
duce berries in increasing numbers until severe frost.
The berries are a bright crimson, of large size and sur-
passing quality — rich, sugary with full raspberry flavor.
They are of exceedingly meaty, firm texture and keep in
good condition longer after being gathered than any
other red raspberry. . .Per dozen, $1.00; per 100, $7.50.

Cardinal. Considered one of the very best purple berries,
as they produce a fine quality of dark red or almost
purple berries through a long season.

Per dozen, $1.00; per 100, $7.50.
The following varieties are all, per dozen, 75c;
per 100, $5.00.

^./Cumberland. The largest black cap.

Guthbert. Large, firm, deep rich crimson.

^jBregg. A large black cap variety, fruit firm.

STRAWBERRIES AND GRAPE VINES

By Express or Freight at Expense of Purchaser.

Impossible to Accept Orders for Small Fruits Totaling Less than One Dollar.

STRAWBERRIES

STRAWBERRIES will do well in any soil that will grow good corn.
Soil should be made fine and loose. A generous supply of well
rotted manure incorporated in the soil is a great benefit.
Strawberries are naturally shallow-rooted plants and must be
encouraged continually to send their roots deep, in crder to be sure
of a supply of moisture and to feed in a soil of even temperature.

Plant in spring — always the best time— and see that no soil is
allowed to remain in the crown of the plant.

Mulching strawberries is done to keep the soil moist and cool in
summer, to protect the berries from mud and dirt when ripe and to
protect the plants in winter. The winter protection should not be
put on until the ground freezes.

Strawberries for garden culture should be planted in rows three
feet apart and one foot apart in rows. For field culture plant in rows
four feet apart and eighteen to twenty-four inches apart in row.

Dip the plants in water as soon as received, and bury
the roots in moist, shady ground till you are
ready to set them out.

Superb. The Ever-bearing Strawberry — Superb is a truly
wonderful, fall-bearing variety, and what makes it
unusually profitable is the fact that it also produces a
heavy yield of choice fruit in the early summer, along
with the standard varieties. They continue to give
large yields of choice berries throughout August,
September and in October up to the time the ground
is slightly frozen. Plants of this variety which are set
in the spring should have the blossoms removed until
the first of July. The blossoms may then be left to develop
into berries, and a good crop of fruit will thus be secured
the same season the plants are set, without injury to
the plants Per dozen, 50c; per 100, $2.50.

The following varieties are all, per dozen, 50c;
per 100, $1.50.

Aroma. One of the finest for long-distance shipping. The
large berries are bright red to the center, of conical
shape with prominent and attractive yellow seeds.

Gandy. One of the best late varieties. Berries large, of
fine form and excellent quality.

Glen Mary. Large to very large, sometimes flattened;
sweet and rich.

Nick Ohmer. A fine, fancy market berry and always
superb for the table. A giant in size.

Senator Dunlap. Exceedingly vigorous. Fruit large,
regular and attractive in form, deep red to the center.

All Fertilizers Delivered Free on Board Cincinnati. Prices Subject to Change Without Notice.

THE benefits arising from the use of Commercial Fer-
tilizers are too well known, and their value too well
established, to require any argument or explanation.
Soils that have been almost entirely exhausted by successive
croppings have, by their use, been restored to their former
utility; in fact, bring larger crops than when the soil is
new. The elments of fertility in commercial fertilizers
may be briefly stated as follows:

Nitrogen (of which Ammonia is the equivalent term),
produces leaves and stalks and gives vigor to the plant.

Phosphoric Acid developes root system, hastens
maturity and gives strength and productive power to the
plant.

Potash stiffens straw and stalk, promotes cellular
growth and aids in starch formation.

It is impossible to produce large yields or good quality,
if any of these elements of fertility are lacking.

HOW TO APPLY COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS

For Cereals: Apply 200 to 500 lbs. per acre.

For Vegetables and Fruits: Apply 500 to 1,000 lbs.
per acre.

For Meadows and Alfalfa: Apply 300 to 500 lbs. per
acre at seeding time or as a top dressing.

For Corn: Drill 200 to 400 lbs. per acre all over the
field before planting. Then apply 100 to 125 lbs. per acre
along the row, (not in the hill) at planting.

If your land is sour, we recommend sweetening with
lime some weeks before applying fertilizers.

SHEEP MANURE— Pulverized

THI*S is a natural manure; excellent for mixing with the
soil. Strewn over and dug into the vegetable garden
or placed directly in drills or hills, it promotes a rapid,
steady growth. Especially valuable for lawns, contains
all the constituents for promoting a quick, luxuriant growth
and a rich green color. Use at the rate of from 500 to 600
pounds per acre. For pot plants, mix one part of sheep
manure to six parts of soil. For use in the vegetable
garden spread over the surface and dig in. Being soluble,
it readily makes a safe liquid manure — one pound to five
gallons of water can be used. 1 lb. carton, 10c; 5 lbs., 25c;
10 lbs., 50c; 25 lbs., $1.00; 50 lbs., $1.50; 100 lbs., $2.50.

THE GRASS AND GARDEN TONIC

THIS lime is especially prepared for use on soil, as it is
essentially a plant food, useful for correcting acid
soils, also for binding sandy soils and loosening clay
soils. Should be applied at the rate of 1,000 to 2,000 lbs.
per acre for sandy soils and 2,000 to 3,000 lbs. per acre
for clay soils, a few weeks before applying Commercial
Fertilizers.

Evr Green will renovate old lawns and cure the acidity
of the soil.

If the ground is covered with moss and the grass seems
sour and unsightly, sprinkle Evr Green freely over the
surface and watch the satisfying results.

It is a well-known fact that 90% of the lawns need
Evr Green, which can be applied at any time with good
results.

For renewing old lawns it is unequaled; rake the lawn
thoroughly, sow your grass seed, then sprinkle thoroughly
with Evr Green at the rate of 100 lbs. for each four hundred
square feet.

To make a new lawn; alter all grading is done and
every stone and stick removed, cover with a generous
coating of Evr Green as indicated above, which should
be raked into the soil, then sow the seed and rake in well,
after which it should receive a good rolling to bring the
seed into close contact with the soil and conserve the
moisture.

Evr Green is 99% pure, and contains 96% lime, some
phosphorus and is guaranteed not to bum the sod.

Evr Green is packed in 50 lb. sacks, just the proper
size for an ordinary sized Garden and should be used
by all Amateurs, as it has for some time been used by pro-
fessional Market Gardeners and Planters.

Per bag of 50 lbs., $1.00; 2 bags (100 lbs.), $1.75;

5 bags (250 lbs.), $4.25; 10 bags (500 lbs.). $8.00.

FERTILIZER S— Continued

NITRATE OF SODA

CARRIES approximately 20% of ammonia and comes in
crystals which vary in size. It is sometimes lumpy
and the lumps should be crushed to a powder before the
material is applied. Owing to the fact that Nitrate of
Soda is a highly concentrated form of plant food, care should
be used in applying the material to plants on the leaf surface.

Use a top dressing at the rate of 100 lbs. per acre between
the rows when the plants are well established, on the fol-
lowing vegetables. Cabbage, Cauliflower, Egg Plant,
Lettuce, Spinach, Beets, Celery, Onions. For Asparagus,
a top dressing of 250 lbs. per acre when the young shoots
are starting in the spring. For Strawberries apply between
the rows at the rate of 100 lbs. per acre at the time of blos-
soming. For the home garden apply a solution of one
ounce to two gallons of water.

Fruit: — The old idea that fruit does not require any ferti-
lizer has been entirely dispelled in the last five years. The
most up-to-date fruit growers are now applying 5 lbs. of
Nitrate of Soda to apple and pear trees 20 to 25 years old,
in a circle on the ground 3 ft. wide underneath the tips of
the branches. 1 lb., 15c; 2 lbs., 25c; 10 lbs., $1.15;

25 lbs., $2.00; 50 lbs., $3.50; 100 lbs., $6.50.

SULPHATE OF AMMONIA

CONTAINS approximately 25% of ammonia and comes
in fine crystals which is very nice to apply broadcast.
Owing to its firmness and keeping qualities it is preferred by
some gardeners and fruit growers to Nitrate of Soda. Owing
to the fact that it carries 5% more ammonia to the weight
than Nitrate of Soda, the user should apply four pounds of
Sulphate of Ammonia where he uses 5 lbs. of Mtrate of
Soda. lib., 15c; 2 lbs., 25c; 10 lbs., $1.15; 25 lbs., $2.65 ;

Proper Use of

Insecticides and Fungicides

The annual loss of fruit and vegetables from ravages of
insects and fungous diseases is not due to poor material,
but is primarily caused by lack of properly indentifying the
insect or fungous disease affecting the crop and applying
the wrong material, or applying the material after it is too
late to control the insect or disease.

To control insects with biting mouth parts which chew
the surface or eat part or all of the leaf, like potato bugs,
apply some form of Arsenate poison to be taken inwardly.

To control insects with sucking mouth parts, such as
aphis and thrip, which are small green or black insects
usually found on the underside of the leaves or tender
portions of the stems of the plant, apply a contact ooison
such as Nicotine Sulphate, using soap as a spreader , with
a sprayer which furnishes sufficient pressure to bring the
material in contact with the body of the insect.

To control rose, oyster shell, scurfy and San Jose scale,
apply a contact spray which destroys the carcass of the
insect, such as Lime-Sulphur or Scalecide.

Fungous diseases affecting the leaves, stems and fruit,
can be effectively controlled by frequent applications of
fungicides, which should be applied before the disease
starts and will tend to hold it in check even after the disease
has made its appearance.

Fungous or bacterial diseases affecting the roots or under-
ground parts cannot be controlled by application of fungi-
cides. The only control for these diseases is soil steriliza-
tion by steam or drench method with Formaldehyde.

In general, the following list of insecticides and fungicides
are made for the purpose of controlling certain insects and
fungous diseases and if the users will follow directions they
will obtain good results.

Ant Eradicator

Useful against ants in lawns, gardens, etc. 8 oz. can, 25c.

Arsenate of Lead (Dry Powdered)

Nu-Rex Form

IT cannot dry out or deteriorate in any way, even if car-
ried over indefinitely, does not contain 50 per cent of
water on which freight must be paid, and in short, repre-
sents the ideal Arsenate of Lead.

For Potatoes use 2 to 3 pounds to 50 gallons of water;
applying 50 gallons or more per acre. For all other purposes
use 1 to 1 y<i pounds to 50 gallons of water, or one teaspoon-
ful to 1 gallon of water. It is best to reduce to a thin paste
by mixing with a small amount of water, before putting
into spray tank. On tender foliaged Trees and Plants add
about two pounds of lime to each 50 gallons spray liquid.
Yi lb., pkg., 35c; 1 lb., pkg., 60c; 5 lb. pkg., $2.50;

12 'A lb. pkg., $5.65; 25 lb. pkg., $10.00.

Arsenate of Lead (Paste)

THE most effective poisonous Insecticide for leaf-eating
insects. It will not scorch, burn nor injure the most
delicate foliage, but at the same time kills all kinds of
leaf and fruit-eating insects.

For Potatoes use 4 to 6 pounds to 50 gallons of water, ap-
plying 50 gallons or more per acre. For all other purposes
use 2 to 3 pounds to 50 gallons of water. Mix with the re-
quired amount, enough water to make a thin paste before
putting into the spray tank. On tender foliaged Trees and
Plants add about two pounds of lime to each 50 gallons of
spray liquid. 1 lb. can, 40c; 5 lbs., $1.70; 10 lbs., $2.75;
20 lbs., $4.50; 50 lbs., $11.00; 100 lbs., $20.00.

“Black Leaf 40”

IT is a concentrated solution of nicotine sulphate, guaran-
teed to contain not less than 40 per cent of nicotine by
weight. Soft-bodied sucking insects may be effectively
controlled, 'by spraying with “Black Leaf 40”.

For Aphis indoors use % pint “BLACK LEAF 40” to 100
gallons of water or 1 teaspoonful to 1 gallon of water, with
sufficient soap in water to make good suds. For outside
use apply solution double strength. Several formulas for
destroying other sucking insects on each package. This
is also a contact remedy. 1 oz. bottle, 25c; Yz lb. tin, $1.00;

Directions for

Making 8-8-50

Place 8 lbs. of stone
lime in a barrel and
pour on 1 1/5 gallons
of water to start the
slacking of the lime.
Then add 8 lbs. of
dowers o f sulphur
(< after working through
a sieve to break up th>
lumps), meanwhile
stirring thoroughly ;
add sufficien water to
slake the lime into a
paste. Stir rapidly to
prevent caking on the
bottom. If mixture
becomes sticky add
more water. After the
violent boiling from
the slacking of the
lime is over , add suf-
ficient cold water to
stop cooking. 5 to 15
minutes being required
— according to whether
the lime is quick acting
or sluggish. Then add.
water to make solution
up to 50 gallons.
Strain through a sieve
of about 20 meshes to
the inch to remote
coarse particles of
lime. Apply material
with lar^e disk in
nozzle.

Spraying jpumPs and 'Appliances

SPRAYING is of such importance that the Experiment Stations all over this country have given much of their attention
to it, and their findings have been of incalculable value. Diseases and insects can no longer exist if the proper Insecticide
is applied through the medium of an up-to-date spray apparatus.

PARAGON SPRAYERS

THESE Sprayers are strongly constructed and can be easily operated by one man.
They can be brought in close proximity to the work, thereby eliminating the use
of a long, expensive hose. Our patented, self-cleaning strainer prevents the
necessity of first straining the liquid to be sprayed. The agitator also keeps the liquid
thoroughly stirred.

The spray nozzle has only 3Vinch. outlet and spreads the liquid well, thereby
covering a large surface with a small amount of liquid, making it a very economical
sprayer.

All parts of the machine are made of the best material obtainable.

The reservoir is made of heavy galvanized iron. All essential fittings and valves
are made of brass, making it strong and durable. The body of pump is cast iron, well
ribbed to prevent breakage. The screen is of heavy perforated brass and will last
many years. The pump frame can easily be removed from tank when it needs cleaning
and by running water through machine after using, the entire machinery can be easily
and thoroughly cleaned.

Suitable for spraying Insecticides and Fungicides on trees, shrubs and vines, as well
as the application of Whitewash and Cold Water Paints.

!&£ait .power Spraying Outfits

THE accompanying illustration presents a view of the Bean
Power Sprayer. These sprayers are made in several sizes
to meet all the requirements of orchardists, whether orchards
are large or small. They have proved to be
economical, labor-saving and more thorough
in applying insecticides than any other device
on the market.

“WHY the

BEAN

is the BEST”

FIRST — The Bean Pressure Regu-
lator maintains a uniform pressure*
saves fuel and wear of engine; is safe
and dependable; makes possible the
removal of any valve in the pump
while full pressure is maintained on the
air chamber, and while engine is
operating

SECOND — The Bean Threadless Ball Valves (Reversible and Interchangeable Seats) may be removed without stopping
engine; no threads; saves time; valves easily cleaned.

THIRD — Porcelain lined Cylinders, guaranteed to last the life of the pump.

FOURTH — Underneath suction; tanks easily emptied; engine throws more liquid with less power.

FIFTH — Only pump without stuffing box — This saves labor and trouble.

SIXTH — Bean Eccentrics increase the life of the pump and the durability of the outfit.

SEVENTH — One piece steel bedplate — makes outfit rigid, durable and light.

EIGHTH — The Bean Rocking Bolster; special truck reduces weight of outfit; adjustable on all kinds of ground.

NINTH — Novo Engine; simple to operate; runs under all conditions; may be removed from outfit and used for other pur-
poses.

TENTH — Bean Refiller; saves time and labor; simple to operate; one man can fill the spray tank in 5 minutes. Besides
these features the Bean equipment has many other strong points which the fruit growers should consider before pur-
chasing an outfit.

LAWN REQUISITES— Continued
The Dayton Rotary and Oscillating Sprinkler

THE most practical, durable, efficient machine ever devised for sprinkling lawns,
parks, or irrigating truck gardens. It must be seen in action to be appreciated.

Saves time, labor, hose wear. It is nearest approach to natural rain. All
the parts of this irrigating machine are made of brass and aluminum (non-rusting
or corroding metals).

A tiny jet of water against an aluminum water-wheel revolves the wheel at
high velocity, and through a worm gear (which runs in oil) and a pinion traveling
over a toothed plate, carries the irrigating nozzle in a complete circle or oscillates
like an electric fan making a half circle.

The nozzle used is adjustable for distance of spray and enables an equal dis-
tribution of water over any desired area.

Its Durability — The Dayton is closely and substantially made. They are made
to gain and maintain a place on every well-kept lawn.

Its Simplicity — It is by far the cheapest, simplest of all overhead irrigating
systems. It is simplicity itself.

Appearance — The Dayton is neat and pleasing of appearance, and besides being
the best method of sprinkling and cooling off the hot summer evenings, it adds much
to the beauty and attractiveness of the lawn.

Every Dayton is guaranteed to give perfect satisfaction. All machines are
thoroughly tested and closely inspected before leaving factory.

A FEW FACTS REGARDING TRUCK GARDEN INSTALLATION OF
DAYTON ROTARY SPRINKLERS:

Fourteen machines may be operated from a 1 ^-inch main, with water at 40 lbs. pressure. A 2-inch pipe will ca’ry
20 machines at 40 pounds pressure. Machines should be placed 50 feet apart, 17 machines being required to the ac~e.

It is desirable to lay the pipe mains under the ground, just below plow depth, with J4-inch riser pipes. With such
an installation the entire tract can be farmed. Each riser should have a shut-off valve, and a valve should be provided
for each line. In this way any part or portion of a tract can be irrigated independently of the whole.

The water consumption of a Dayton Sprinkler, normally adjusted and operating at 40 pounds pressure, approximates
1 %, gallons per minute.

Dayton Lawn Sprinklers are fitted with %-inch or ^2-inch hose connections, as may be desired. Price $6.00.

Coldwell’s Improved Horse Lawn Mower

THIS well known standard Mower has side draft attachments, to
enable the horse to walk on the cut grass only, and caster rollers,

of raising the knives from the ground when driving over gravel walks
or roads. The mowers are fitted up with steel shafting and composition
split bushings, and great care is taken to have the workmanship perfect.

These Mowers are made regularly with four blades in the
revolving cutter, but when exceptionally fine cutting is desired,

tivates and plows quickly and thoroughly. Popular
with farmers and gardeners everywhere.

No. 4 D. Planet Jr. as a Hill and Drill Seeder only . $15.00

THIS combined machine is intended for gardeners who
have a large enough acreage in crops for a Double
Wheel Hoe to be used to good advantage, and yet
prefer not to buy seeders and wheel hoes separately.

THIS is a new combined tool of great value to thou-
sands of gardeners who have never felt able to own

well made and offered at a price that makes it pay the
smallest gardener.

ARE the greatest cultivating tools for the onion, and for

ANEW TOOL, especially pleasing to all who work
peat lands. There are three adjustable discs on
each side, oil tempered, which may all be used
at once or one or two on a side, as preferred.

The set of Prong Cultivator Teeth will be found
invaluable in general cultivation. The tooth next to
the row is narrow and is arranged to run shallow, the
middle tooth is wider and runs one-half inch deeper,
while the outside tooth is still wider and runs another
half-inch deeper, so that the work is finer and shallower
next to the row, to avoid injury to the plants, and deeper
in the center. The teeth are also set out of line from
front to back, which makes them work with greater
freedom.

The disc and cultivator teeth attachments will fit the
other single and double wheel hoes (except No 19), and are

PRAIRIE STATE
SAND TRAY INCUBATORS

If you are in search of the best Incubator manufactured, the
one that will hatch the largest number of strong, vigorous chicks,
the Prairie State is the machine to buy.

THE Prairie State Incubator was first marketed in 1889, incorporating
three essential principles in design which have been continued to
the present day — top-radiant heat, down-draft ventilation, and
applied moisture. They have been improved from time to time as ex-
perience has warranted, but in points of efficiency, economy, safety
and service they have held unchanged the title through these years of
national standard in incubator construction.

They are built of cypress — the wood everlasting — highly finished
for attractive appearance, double-cased, positively insulated with high
grade cotton and fitted with the best grade hardware on the market.

Temperature regulation is automatic and sensitive, accomplished by
zinc and steel toggle-joint thermostat. The heating and ventilating
currents are in one, so that when heat is supplied ventilation is assured.

These currents are furnished by an exclusive design heater, examined and
approved under direction of Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc.

Every Prairie State is insurable. Moisture is constantly supplied by the famous patented Prairie State Sand Tray, insuring
uniform evaporation at all times and uniform, relative humidity in the egg chamber.

Built in four sizes, ranging from 100 to 390 eggs. Egg Trays of light basswood and galvanized wire cloth. Nursery
mats are provided for the four machines. All Prairie States are equipped with thermometers, egg testers, lamps and
everything complete, ready to operate. Air distribution in all models is effected by the patented eddy-current distributor
sheet at top of machine. The four diffusion machines have double bottoms with nursery; ventilation accomplished by
the air diffusion method.

THE NEWTOWN
GOAL BURNING
COLONY BROODER

WITH the certainty that the highest prices ever
known will prevail next season for poultry and
eggs, no poultryman can afford to run another month
without a modern

NEWTOWN COLONY BROODER

This is true whether y ou have no Brooder or an
inferior make of machine, because no one ever made
money by using a non-de pendable, half worn out,

“cheap” Brooder.

The Newtown “raises the most chicks and
the best chicks with the least labor and at lowest
cost.” Burns Coal, the cheapest fuel — is self-feeding,
self-regulating, free from fire danger — broods any
number of clicks up to 1200 in one flock according to
the size of the stove and size of the building — reduces
labor. It was the first brooder of this type ever put on the market — has been longer in use than any other and is
endorsed by the most successful poultry men in every state of the Union and nine foreign countries — almost in every
nook of the world where poultry is raised the Newtown is used.

There can surely be no good reason to delay the purchase of a Newtown another week. See them on display at
our store and we know you will buy a Newtown. Made in four sizes:

No. 6. Capacity, 200 chicks or less $20.50 j No. 11. Capacity, 500 chicks or less $31.00

No. 7. Capacity, 250 chicks or less 25.00 j No. 12. Capacity, 1200 chicks or less 39.50

Ask for our Brooder Catalogue. It contains valuable information for every poultryman. It’s free.

The Newtown Oil-Burning Colony Brooder

FOR several years the coal- burning colony brooder has been
generally recognized as the acme of brooding efficiency,
but as a result of the inability to procure the proper grade
of chestnut anthracite coal, probably the greatest problem
of poultrymen was to find a substitute for the coal heated
brooder.

One of the big faults of oil-burning brooders has been
their inability to produce and properly distribute over a large
floor space sufficient quantity of heat to make possible the
successful brooding of large flocks of chicks in cold weather.

The construction of the Newtown Oil-burning Colony
Brooder is simplicity itself. It consists of the heater and
deflector. The heater includes the blue flame wickless burner,
automatic oil feeder, and oil fount all securely mounted on a
heavy metal base, and the heat radiator which is bolted within
the deflector.

Each brooder is shipped with everything complete in
one crate, ready to operate. A thermometer and full instruc-
tions for operating are furnished with each brooder.
