MILE  HIGH  SEEDS 


FOR  1920  PLANTING 


P^'cJGTjfpE  COME  before  the  seed  buy- 
iJ)\-\-T\ \\  *ng  Public  again  with  our 
fj  W \\  1820  catalog  and  planters’ 
(/  V]  guide.  We  are  confident  the 

seeds  we  have  to  offer  this 
year  come  up  to  our  usual  standard  of 
excellence;  in  fact,  since  our  practice  is 
always  to  buy  the  best  and  from  the  most 
reliable  growers,  we  can  offer  them  with 
confidence  in  their  quality.  As  for  the 
growing  qualities  we  test  all  our  seeds  in 
one  of  the  latest  and  most  approved  seed 
testers  and  are  assured  of  satisfactory 
germination  before  they  leave  our  pos^ 
session. 

Our  long  experience  is  at  the  service 
of  our  customers*  and  we  want  you  to 
feel  free  to  write  about  any  matters  of 
Which  you  may  be  in  doubt.  We  are 
always  glad  to  give  advice,  offer  sug- 
gestions or  assist  our  customers  in  any 
way  possible. 

i While  War  Gardens  and  Victory  Gard- 
ens may  be  of  the  past  we  know  that 
the  great  saving  resulting  from  growing 
your  own  vegetables  will  result  in  many 
people  continuing  to  plant  liberally.  The 
object  lessons  of  the  past  few  years,  the 
experience  gained  and  the  great  saving 
in  living  expenses  is  surely  sufficient  to 


cause  far  more  people  than  ever  taking 
up  the  spade  and  the  hoe.  This  is  not 
only  profitable,  but  the  outdoor,  health- 
ful exercise  should  be  a real  diversion 
for  those  who  happen  to  be  shut 
up  in  an  office  or  store  all  day.  It  will 
be  a continued  service  to  our  country 
and  our  government  to  continue  the 
gardening  efforts  and  will  also  put  a big 
kink  in  old  High  Cost  of  Living. 

We  urge  our  customers  to  order  early 
and  thus  get  supplied  from  original 
stocks  and  we  naturally  will  have  more 
time  to  pack  and  properly  prepare  the 
goods  for  shipment. 

Ours  is  an  old  established  house.  We 
offer  no  apologies  for  soliciting  your 
business.  Fair  treament  and  good  seeds 
have  always  been  our  aim  and  satisfied 
customers  our  best  advertisement. 

If  you  only  want  a 5c  package  of  seeds 
your  order  will  receive  the  same  care  as 
if  for  $50.00  worth  or  more.  We  are 
prepared  to  take  care  of  you  orders  and 
will  appreciate  the  patronage  should  your 
requirements  be  much  or  little. 

With  best  wishes  for  success  in  1920.

HOW  TO  ORDER  SAFELY 


OUR  TERMS 

Are  Strictly  Cash  With  Order. 

CUSTOMERS  PAY  TRANSPORTA- 
TION CHARGES  on  all  goods  unless  they 
are  offered  postpaid. 

NO  CHARGE  FOR  PACKING  OR 
PACKAGES — Everything  will  he  secure- 
ly packed  and  labeled  and  delivered  free 
at  the  Freight,  Express  or  Postoffice, 
without  extra  charge  for  packages,  except 
for  a few  items  like  clover  seed,  where 
bags  are  extra,  as  noted  in  the  catalog. 

PREPAID  STATIONS— If  there  is  no 
agent  at  your  railroad  station  the  freight 
has  to  be  prepaid,  and  in  such  cases  we 
must  request  you  to  send  money  with 
your  order  to  cover  the  amount. 

ORDER  EARLY — Do  this  for  two 
reasons.  We  can  give  your  order  more 
careful  and  prompt  attention  if  received 
before  we  get  into  the  rush  of  the  spring 
shipping,  and  our  assortment  is  complete 
then  and  we  will  not  have  to  write  for 
permission  to  substitute  for  varieties 
sold  out.  Keep  a copy  of  your  order. 

HOW  TO  REMIT 

Send  cash  with  order  (as  we  do  not 
open  book  accounts  for  small  amounts), 
by  New  York  or  Chicago  Draft,  Register- 
ed Letter,  or  Postoffice  or  Express 
Money  Order — both  are  cheap  and  abso- 
lutely safe.  Postage  stamps  are  taken 
as  cash,  but  we  prefer  the  smaller  de- 
nominations, such  as  ones  and  twos.  Reg- 
istered letters  are  generally  very  safe, 
and  you  can  send  that  way  from  any  post- 
office  and  receive  your  receipt  by  return 
mail,  by  which  you  know  it  has  reached 
us. 


ERRORS 

If  stock  is  not  as  expected,  compare 
with  order,  read  catalog  rules  carefully, 
and  if  we  are  in  the  wrong,  write  us  at 
once,  giving  all  particulars.  Do  not  re- 
turn goods  until  you  hear  from  us. 

Solve  the  High  Cost  of  Living 

In  Your  Backyard  This  Year 

You  can  do  it  with  very  little  effort  by 
planting  all  vacant  space  in  good  vege- 
tables and  by  planting  good  seeds  and 
cultivating  your  garden  you  can  have 
enough  vegetables  for  table  use  in  season 
and  to  can  for  use  in  the  winter. 

Non-Warranty 

Seeds  of  the  best  quality  are  apt  to 
fail,  through  improper  treatment,  by  sow- 
ing the  seed  too  deep  or  too  shallow,  in 
too  wet  or  too  dry  soil.  They  differ 
greatly  as  to  temperature  required  for 
germination.  Some  will  germinate  rap- 
idly at  a certain  temperature,  while 
others,  if  sown  under  the  same  condi- 
tions, are  apt  to  decay.  The  young  plants 
are  liable  to  various  accidents,  cold  or 
dry  air  may  check  their  growth  or  de- 
stroy them.  Insects  above  and  below  the 
ground  may  attack  them,  and  a great 
many  other  contingencies  may  arise  to 
prevent  the  best  seeds  from  giving  satis- 
faction, and  for  all  these  reasons  it  is 
impractical  to  guarantee  seeds. 

THE  PIONEER-HAINES  SEED  CO. 

gives  no  warranty,  either  expressed  or  im- 
plied, as  to  the  description,  quality,  pro- 
ductiveness, or  any  other  matter,  of  any 
seeds,  bulbs  or  plants  we  send  out,  and 
we  will  not  be  in  any  way  responsible 
for  the  crop.  If  the  purchaser  does  not 
accept  the  goods  on  these  terms,  they 
are  at  once  to  be  returned.

RELIABLE  SEEDS  GROWN  FROM  SELECTED  STOCK 


BEETS 

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

Sow  as  early  in  the  spring-  as  the  ground  can  be  worked,  and  every  two  weeks  after 
for  a succession  up  to  the  first  week  of  June.  For  g-eneral  crop,  sow  about  middle  of  May 
The  soil  should  be  light,  sandy  loam,  well  enriched  with  stable  manure,  and  plowed  and 
harrowed  until  very  fine.  Sow  in  drills  1 foot  to  18  inches  apart  for  garden  culture  and 
when  well  up  thin  out  plants  to  from  3 to  4 inches  apart.  The  young  beets  pulled  out  of 
the  row  are  excellent  when  used  as  spinach. 


Detroit  Dark  Red — A choice  variety  of 
early  turnip  beet,  largely  grown  by  both 
private  and  market  gardeners,  and  extremely 
desirable  on  account  of  its  early  maturity, 
small  top  and  handsome  appearance.  The 
tops  make  an  upright  growth,  thus  allowing 
of  planting  in  close  rows,  a valuable  feature 
where  space  in  the  garden  is  limited.  The 
beet  is  somewhat  globe  shape,  skin  blood-red 
and  flesh  rich  red,  zoned  with  a darker 
shade.  The  beets  are  sweet  when  cooked, 
and  it  is  a splendid  variety  for  canning.

the  best  beets  grown.  Pkt.,  5c;  oz.,  15c;  44 
lb.,  40c;  lb.,  $1.35.

Crimson  Globe  Beet — Here  is  a variety 
that  is  giving  satisfaction  everywhere.  It 
is  excellent  for  the  table,  exceedingly  tender, 
beautiful  form  with  rich,  red  flesh.  The 
root  grows  to  medium  size,  generally  about 
three  inches  in  diameter,  is  very  handsome 
in  shape.  The  surface  is  remarkably  smooth 
and  has  a very  small  tap  root.  The  top  and 
leaves  are  small,  which  occupy  very  little 
room  in  growing.  It  is  free  from  stringy  or 
woody  substance  that  is  frequent  among 
other  varieties  of  beets.  Pkt.,  5c;  oz.,  15c; 
44  lb.,  40c;  lb.,  $1.35. 

Eclipse — We  believe  this  is  one  of  the 
best  known  beets  and  has  given  great  satis- 
faction to  all  who  have  grown  it.  The 
Eclipse  is  quite  early  and  is  superior  to 
many  other  table  beets.  We  have  taken  par- 
ticular pains  in  selecting  this  strain  for  many 
years  and  can  furnish  seed  that  will  pro- 
duce beets  with  a very  small  top;  smooth, 
fine  grain,  tender  and  of  a handsome  bright 
red  color.  Pkt.,  5c;  oz.,  15c;  44  lb.,  40c;  lb.,

Long  Dark  Blood — A large  and  excellent 
variety.  Pkt.,  5c;  oz.,  15c;  44  lb.,  40c;  lb., 
$1.35. 

SWISS  CHARD 

Far  superior  to  the  common  beet  for  greens 
of  almost  the  same  flavor  and  equal  to  spin- 
ach. It  is  much  easier  to  wash  and  prepare 
for  the  table.  Sown  early  in  the  spring  in 
rows,  and  the  seedlings  thinned  out  to  6 
inches  in  the  rows,  it  makes  rapid  growth  of 
leaves,  and  is  fit  for  use  for  greens  sooner 
than  any  other  variety,  and  can  be  cut 
throughout  the  entire  summer.  Later  the 
leaves  grow  very  large,  with  broad,  flat, 
wax-like  stems  and  mid-ribs,  which  may  be 
cooked  like  asparagus  or  made  into  pickles. 
Pkt.,  5c;  oz.,  15c;  44  lb.,  50c. 

New  Swiss  Chard  or  Spinach 
Beet 

GIANT  LUCULLUS 

This  comparatively  new  variety  is  not  only 
very  good  in  quality,  but  is  is  also  most  at- 
tractive in  appearance  of  any  of  the  chard. 
Giant  Lucullus  is  a strong  and  rapid  grower, 
attaining  a height  of  2/z  feet.  Leaf  stems 
long  and  broad  and  thicker  than  the  ordinary 
variety.  The  leaves  are  light,  bright  green  in 
color  and  are  distinctly  crumpled  or  savoyed. 
Quality  very  good.  It  cooks  very  easily  and 
is  tender  and  sweet.  Try  cooking  the  stalks 
and  serving  like  asparagus;  they  are  excel- 
lent. Pkt.,  5c;  oz.,  15c;  44  lb.,  50c.

being  a great  consideration  to  market  gar- 
deners, entailing  less  labor  in  harvesting  the

the  first  cutting.)  The  heads  average  about 
ten  pounds  each  in  weight,  are  very  solid, 
with  small  core  and  of  fine  quality.  The

CELERY 

One  ounce  will  produce  3,000  good  plants. 
One  pound  to  the  acre. 

Culture — The  conditions  necessary  for  suc- 
cessful Celery  cultivation  are  good  seed, 


plenty  of  manure  and  complete  fertilizers, 
moisture  and  cultivation.  The  most  suit- 
able soil  is  rich  loam  finely  pulverized  and 
highly  enriched  with  30  to  40  loads  to  the 
acre  of  good  stable  manure.  Sow  seed  in 
boxes  for  early  planting;  later  plants  may 
be  produced  from  seeds  sown  in  frames  or 
open  ground.  Transplant  4 inches  apart; 
when  three  inches  high,  water  and  protect 
until  well  rooted,  then  transplant  into  rows 
for  garden  culture  18  inches  to  2 feet  apart; 
for  field  culture,  in  rows  4 to  6 feet  apart; 
set  the  plants  from  8 to  12  inches  apart, 
supply  plenty  of  moisture  and  see  that  plants 
receive  thorough  manured  trenches  1 foot  in 
depth.  To  blanch,  draw  earth  around  the 
plants,  being  careful  not  to  cover  the  tops  of 
the  center  shoots. 


Celery — Golden  Self 

Paris  Golden  Self- Blanching — ‘r 

most  popular  and  best  yellow  celery  for 
use.  In  nearly  all  markets  it  is  the  leading 
sort.  The  stalks  are  much  broader  and 
heavier  than  those  of  the  white  varieties 
and  greatly  superior  in  quality.  It  is  ready 
for  use  nearly  as  early  as  any  other  sort. 
It  has  broad,  heavy  stalks,  which  blanch 
into  a deep  golden  yellow;  color  is  very 
handsome,  stalks  are  crisp,  tender  and  free 
from  stringiness.  It  is  the  standard  of  ex- 
cellence in  the  yellow  variety.  We  sell  noth- 
ing but  originator’s  stock.  Pkt.  10c;  oz.,

solid,  crisp  and  of  a rich,  nutty  flavor,  free

CORN— SWEET  OR  SUGAR 


Price  of  any  variety  listed  unless  otherwise  stated.  Pkt.,  5c;  /2  lb.,  20c;  lb.,  35c.  Postage 
must  be  added  in  ordering  corn  sent  by  mail. 

One  lb.  to  200  hills;  10  lbs.  to  the  acre.  In  an  average  season  from  planting  to  first 
fair  picking  is  from  5b  to  85  days,  according  to  variety. 

Culture. — Sweet  Corn,  being  liable  to  rot  in  cold,  wet  ground,  should  not  be  planted  be- 
fore May,  or  until  the  ground  has  become  warm;  practically  nothing  is  gained  in  time,  and 
much  is  lost  in  quality  by  planting  too  soon.  Plant  in  rich  ground  in  hills  3 feet  apart, 
‘each  way,  covernig  about  half  an  inch,  and  thin  out  to  three  plants  to  a hill.  The  extia 
early  varieties  can  be  planted  closer.  Give  frequent  and  thorough  but  shallow  cultivation 
until  tassels  appear. 


Bantam  Evergreen  Sweet  Corn— By  far  the  finest  Sweet  Corn  produced.  Has  the  sweet- 
ness of  the  Golden  Bantam  combined  with  the  larger  cobs  of  the  Evergreen.  Matures  after 
Golden  Bantam.  Try  it  this  year  and  you  will  always  want  it. 

A cross  between  Golden  Bantam  and  Stowell’s  Evergreen  and  a most  excellent  sort  of 
superior  quality.  Grain  rather  broad  and  deep,  and  of  a rich  golden-yellow  color. 


Early  Mayflower  Sweet  Corn,  The  Most  Profitable  Corn  to  Plant — In  the  Mayflower 
we  offer  you  the  earliest  sweet  corn,  being  ten  days  earlier  than  the  Ea  ly  White  Cory.  The 
-ears  are  very  much  larger  than  the  Cory,  having  10  to  12  rows  of  kernels,  and  in  quality  will 
be  found  far  superior  in  spite  of  its  extreme  .earliness.  The  stalks  are  six  inches  to  a foot 
shorter  than  the  Cory. 

No  one  appreciates  the  above  merits  in  sweet  corn  more  than  the  market  gardener,  for 
he  realizes,  to  obtain  the  highest  prices  that  are  paid  for  corn,  he  must  have  it  on  the 
market  early,  and  the  corn  must  be  of  good  size  and  sweet  flavor,  such  as  is  produced  by 
this  wonderful  corn. 


Adam’s  Extra  Earlv — The  earliest  white 
corn;  ready  for  table  60  days  after  germina- 
tion. Height  of  stalk,  3 feet;  not  a sugar 
corn. 

Extra  Early  Minnesota — Very  early;  a de- 
cidedly excellent  variety;  ears  fair  sized  and 
uniform;  plant  rather  dwarf. 

Perry’s  Hybrid — This  valuable  early 

twelve-rowed  sugar  corn  has  made  a reputa- 
tion for  itself.  This  corn  is  desirable  for 
market  gardeners  because  it  is  as  early  as 
Minnesota,  and  being  twelve-rowed  will  sell 
for  much  more. 

Golden  Bantam  Sweet  Corn — This  is  a very 
early  sweet  corn.  Our  stock  was  grown  by 
one  of  the  best  corn  growers  in  the  United 
States  and  is  all  selected,  hand-picked  seed. 
The  kernels  are  very  firm,  and  it  can  be 
planted  early.  Deep  yellow  in  color  and  one 
stalk  frequently  bears  two  or  three  perfect 
ears. 


Improved  Stowell’s  Evergreen — A large  va- 
riety of  excellent  quality,  remaining  longer 
in  the  green  state  than  any  other  kind. 

Black  Mexican — A black-grained  variety; 
one  of  the  sweetest  of  all  kinds. 

Country  Gentleman — The  ears  are  pro- 
duced in  great  abundance.  The  cob  is  very 
small,  giving  great  depth  to  the  kernels, 
which  are  pure  white.  The  great  merit  of 
the  Country  Gentleman  is  its  delicious  qual- 
ity. 

Peep  O’ Day — Ten  days  earlier  than  any 
other  variety.  Ears  average  about  6 inches 
in  length  and  perfect  in  form;  very  tender, 
sweet  and  juicy. 

Cory— White  Cob — It  is  one  of  the  earliest 
corn  known.  The  ear  is  as  large  as  Red 
Cory,  or  larger,  and  this,  with  the  few  days 
gained  in  maturing,  may  give  the  market 
gardener  double  the  price  of  that  coming 
a little  later.

RELIABLE  SEEDS  GROWN  FROM  SELECTED  STOCK 


Early  Evergreen — Earlier  than  StowelPs 
Evergreen  and  remains  in  condition  quite  as 
long.  The  ears  are  large.  Plants  average 
6 to  7 feet  high  and  in  ear  resemble  those  of 
Stowell’s  Evergreen. 

Mammoth  White  Cory — The  largest  and 
best  extra  early  sweet  corn,  two  or  more 
large  ears  to  the  stalk. 

Large- Early  “Howling  Mob” — The  stalks 
are  of  strong,  vigorous  growth,  4 to  5 feet 
in  height,  and  generally  produce  two  fine 
ears  to  a stalk.  The  ears  measure  7 to  9 
inches  in  length,  with  twelve  or  fourteen 
rows  of  good-sized  pearly-white  grains.  The 
ears  are  covered  with  a heavy  husk  which 
extends  well  out  from  the  tip  of  the  ears  and 
affords  good  protection  from  the  green 
worms. 

CUCUMBERS 

One  ounce  to  50  hills;  2 to  3 pounds  to  the  acre.  Main  crop  in  65  to  75  days.  Earliest 
varieties  ready  for  table  in  50  to  55  days  from  seed. 

Culture. — As  soon  as  the  weather  becomes  settled  and  warm,  plant  in  hills  4 to  6 feet 
apart,  each  way,  with  8 or  10  seeds  in  a hill;  cover  half  an  inch  deep,  smoothing  the  hill 
off  with  the  hoe.  Keep  the  soil  well  stirred,  and  when  the  plants  are  out  of  danger  of  in- 
sects, leave  3 or  4 plants  to  a hill.  For  pickles,  plant  from  1st  of  June  to  August.  The  fruit 
should  be  gathered  when  large  enough,  whether  required  for  use  or  not,  as  if  left  to  ripen 
on  the ' vines,  it  destroys  their  productiveness.  A few  hills  for  early  use  may  be  had  by 
sowing  on  pieces  of  sod  in  a hotbed,  and,  when  warm  enough,  transplanted  to  open  ground. 

We  advise  putting  in  a second  row  of  seed  a few  inches  from  your  first  cucumbers 
when  they  begin  to  run.  The  bugs  prefer  young  plants.  Your  earliest  plants  are  thus  pro- 
tected and  those  of  later  planting  that  escape  the  bugs  will  prolong  the  pickle  season.

Lettuce — Los  Angeles  Market 

CULTURE  FOR  HEAD  LETTUCE 

Assuming  that  the  Lettuce  plants  have  been  started,  they  should  be  transplan 
soon  as  they  begin  to  crowd.  Place  them  six  inches  apart  in  the  row  in  extra  rich  sou 
and  if  the  sun  has  become  very  hot,  it  will  be  best  to  furnish  partial  shade.  Keep  the  soil 
well  cultivated  around  the  plants  to  destroy  weeds  and  preserve  a soil  mulch.  W~ater  fre- 
quently during  dry  weather. 

When  the  heads  start  to  develop  wrork  up  the  soil  around  them  so  as  to  induce  close, 
compact  growth.  As  soon  as  the  outside  leaves  are  large  enough  they  should  be  brought 
together  and  tied  over  the  top  with  raffia.  This  should,  be  done  more  loosely  than  with 
Cauliflower  and  the  plants  must  be  closely  watched  so  that  they  can  be  used  at  the  right 
stage  of  development.  Tying  the  heads  in  this  manner  helps  to  blanch  them  and  make  them 
deliciously  tender  and  crisp.

MUSKMELONS 


/' 


One  ounce  will  plant  about  fifty  hills,  two  or  three  pounds  in  hills  per  acre. 

Only  selected  melons  are  reserved  for  seed  use.  We  are  thus  enabled  to  supply  the  very 
highest  grade  of  seed.  You  will  please  note  that  our  prices  are  reasonable  when  quality  is 
considered.  If  you  want  large  quantities,  write  us  for  quotations.  Please  mention  the 
quantity  of  seed  that  you  require. 

Culture — Select  a rich  soil,  and  after  danger  of  frost  is  over,  and  the  ground  has  become 
warm  and  dry,  plant  in  hills  4 to  6 feet  each  way,  and  6 to  8 seeds  in  a hill.  When  up  and 
all  danger  of  insects  has  passed,  pull  out  all  but  3 plants.  Cultivate  until  the  vines  cove: 
the  ground  and  pinch  off  the  ends  of  the  growing  vines  to  induce  early  fruiting.  It  is  quite 
important  that  proper  soil  be  selected  for  growing  Muskmelons.  Wood  ashes,  lime  or 
tobacco  dust,  sifted  over  young  plants,  when  the  dew  is  on,  is  sometimes  effective  to  prevent 
the  attack  of  insects.  A few  hills  for  early  use  mamy  be  had  by  sowing  seed  in  hotbed  on 
pieces  of  sod  or  in  pots  and  then  transplant  as  soon  as  weather  conditions  ate  favorable. 


The  seed  may  also  be  started  out  of  doors 
transplanted.

loupe season  and  continue  until  frost.  At 
the  first  sign  of  frost  all  melons,  even  half- 
grQwn,  should  be  put  in  a dry,  frost-proof 
place  wTiere  they  will  ripen  gradually.  The

HONEY  DEW  MELON 


In  some  markets  this  melon  has  command- 
ed very  high  prices,  and  although  we  had  the 
opportunity  of  obtaining  seed  for  offering  be- 
he  variety  was  generally  known,  we 
i to  our  policy  of  “proving  all  things 
lding  fast  to  that  which  is  good.” 

ey  Dew  Melon  has  a place,  but  being 
r in  type  to  the  Casaba,  we  think  there 
it  few  localities  in  which  it  cannot  be 
i successfully. 

aey  Dew  produces  a melon  ’with  smooth, 
st  white  rind,  measuring  about'  six 


inches  in  diameter  by  seven  to  eight  inches 
long.  The  green  flesh  is  thick  and  is  of  a 
peculiar  sweet  flavor,  resembling  a well- 
ripened  banana — to  have  the  melons  in  the 
best  condition  we  suggest  gathering  (or 
picking)  as  soon  as  they  slip  from  the  vine 
and  store  in  a cool  place  for  two  or  three 
days  before  serving,  as  (like  a Casaba)  they 
apparently  are  at  their  best  when  a trifle 
overripe.

WATERMELONS 

One  ounce  to  30  hills;  4 lbs.  per  acre.  Ready  from  90  to  140  days  from  seed. 

Culture — The  soil  for  Watermelons  must  be  light,  rich  and  sandy,  for  if  grown  on  a 
avy  soil  the  quality  will  be  poor,  and  they  will  not  be  so  early.  When  there  is  no  more 
inger  of  frost,  drop  8 to  10  seed^  in  hills  8 to  .10  feet  apart  each  way,  covering  about 
l inch  deep.  As  soon  as  plants  Commence  to  run,  thin  out  to  3 best  plants  in  a hill  and 
ultivate  until  the  vines  cover  the  whole  ground.  If  slow  to  fruit,  pinch  off  the  ends  of 
he  growing  shoots.  Ashes  or  air-slacked  lime  sifted  on  the  young  plants  while  dew  is  one 
s good  to  keep  the  insects  out.  One  ounce  will  plant  about  30  hills,  and  it  takes  4 to  5 
pounds  to  one  acre.

RELIABLE  SEEDS  GROWN  FROIVI  SELECTED  STOCK 


HOT  BEDS 


Good  hotbeds  may  be  made  by  digging 
down  about  three  feet  and  filling  the  excava- 
tion with  rather  fresh  horse  manure  in  which 
there  is  a g'ood  deal  of  bedding  straw. 
About  18  inches  of  this  manure  is  sufficient 
and  then  fill  in  on  top  of  it  with  about  one 
foot  of  good  soil  mixed  with  sand.  This 
manure  pile  will  be  compressed,  and  will 
soon  begin  to  ferment,  and  will  then  keep 
the  top  soil  warm  and  cause  the  seed  to 
sprout  quickly,  and  the  young  plant  will 
grow  veiy  fast.  It  is  best  to  enclose  the 
hotbed  with  boards,  making  what  is  called 
a cold-frame.  This  is  done  by  running  the 
length  of  the  bed  east  and  west  and  by 
making  the  north  side  about  two  feet  high 
and  the  south  side  not  more  than  six  inches. 
The  ends  also  should  be  enclosed  and  a sash 
of  glass  should  be  hung  on  hinges  at  the 
highest  end.  This  sash  should  be  raised 
for  ventilation  during  most  of  the  day, 


since  the  bed  gets  very  warm  and  the  atmos- 
phere very  close  if  kept  too  tightly  closed 
for  too  long  a time.  As  the  plants  grow, 
the  sash  should  be  left  up  longer  each  day 
to  harden  them  and  prepare  them  for  final 
transplanting. 

The  hotbed  should  have  a very  sunny 
location  near  a hedge  or  some  building,  well 
protected  from  the  prevailing  wind. 

The  object  of  the  cold-frame  is  to  make  an 
artificial  heat,  and  to  protect  the  plants  from 
frost  during  winter.  Seed  may  be  started 
any  time  during  the  winter,  and  plants  can 
be  ready  to  set  out  just  as  soon  as  danger  of 
frost  is  over. 

As  the  sun  gets  too  hot  it  is  necessary  to 
shade  the  bed,  and  the  glass  should  be 
whitewashed  or  covered  with  sacking  if 
necessary.  Too  much  heat  is  fatal  to  the 
tender  young  plants. 


The  Children’s  Bit 

Can  be  done  in  the  production  of  food;  if  you  will  get  the  children  started 
they  can  raise  enough  fresh  vegetables  to  supply  your  table  in  season  and  to 
can  for  use  out  of  season. 


MUSHROOM 

CULTURE 

May  be  grown  in  a great  variety  of  situa- 
tions— a dark  room,  cellar,  stable  or  else- 
where. Any  place  in  w’hich  an  even  tem- 
perature of  about  50  or  60  degrees  can  be 
kept  is  suitable.  For  materials  for  the  bed. 
use  fresh  horse  manure,  free  from  straw  or 
chips,  and  good  loamy  soil.  Some  growers 
use  the  manure  unmixed  with  loam,  after 
first  having  well  fermented  it  by  alternately 
piling  up  and  mixing  for  a few  weeks;  but 
it  is  undoubtedly  better  not  to  allow  the 
manure  to  heat*much  before  forming  the 
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,  pressing 
it  down  very  firmly,  and  leave  it  about  a 
foot  high.  It  will  shortly  begin  to  heat. 
Use  a thermometer  to  thrust  into  bed,  and 
note"  the  temperature.  When  the  heat  has 
partially  subsided,  leaving  a temperature  of 


70  to  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  moder- 
ately firm. 

The  bed  is  finished  by  covering  all  with 
4 or  5 inches  of  straw  or  other  litter.  Water- 
ing is  not  necessary  unless  the  surface  of 
the  bed  gets  very  dry;  in  this  event  moisten 
freely  with  water  at  a temperature  of  about 
80  degrees.  In  gathering  the  crop  do  not 
cut,  but  twist  them  off  carefully,  filling  up 
the  holes  with  loam  to  keep  insects  from  the 
roots.  In  six  or  eight  weeks  from  spawning 
the  beds  mushrooms  should  appear. 

Lambert’s  Pure  Culture  Spawn  is  far  su- 
perior to  the  old-style  varieties  and  much 
better  results  can  be  obtained  from  its  use. 
Bricks  weigh  from  18  to  29  ounces.  A brick 
will  spawn  ten  square  feet  of  bed.  Prices, 
per  brick,  45c,  postpaid.  By  express,  5 bricks

few  inches  high.  It  grows  rapidly,  and  sev- 
eral sowings  may  be  made.

ONIONS 


One  ounce  of  seed  will  sow  about  150  feet  of  row.  It  requires  about  5 lbs.  of  seed 
per  acre. 

Onion  Culture — Onions  are  raised  in  two  ways,  from  seed  and  from  sets.  Seed  sown  in 
early  spring-  produces  ripe  onions  in  the  fall,  while  sets  planted  at  the  same  time  make 
green  “bunching”  onions  in  a few  weeks  and  dry  ripe  onions  in  July  .or  earlier.  Sets  may 
be  put  out  in  the  fall  and  will  produce  green  onions  much  earlier  than  when  set  out  in 
the  spring. 

To  Raise  good  onions  from  seed  the  land  must  be  rich  and  in  fine  condition.  Sow 
the  seed  as  early  as  possible  in  rows  14  inches  apart.  Weed  as  soon  as  the  onions  appear 
and  keep  well  cultivated  all  through  the  season.  Seed  may  also  be  sown  in  a hotbed  or 
greenhouse  in  February  or  March  and  the  onions  transplanted  to  the  open  ground  when 
warm  enough.  The  finest  onions  are  raised  in  this  way. 

To  Raise  Early  Green  Onions — Seed  sown  in  July  will  usually  produce  fair  size  onions, 
that  if  given  a little  protection  will  survive  the  winter  and  produce  nice  green  onions  much 
earlier  than  from  sets  and  at  much  less  cost.  WHITE  PORTUGAL  or  SILVER  SKIN  is 
the  very  best  variety  for  this  purpose. 

Yellow  Globe  Danvers — The  bulbs  are 

large  and  globular,  with  a very  thin  neck, 
rich  orange  yellow  color.  An  enormous 
yielder  and  a fine  keeper;  flesh  white  and 
mild.  Pkt.,  5c;  oz.,  35c;  *4  lb.,  75c;  lb.,  $2.50. 

White  Bermuda,  True  Teneriffe  Grown — 

These  are  the  mammoth  onions  which  are 
annually  grown  in  large  quantities,  both  in 
Bermuda  and  our  southern  states,  and  im- 
ported to  our  northern  markets  in  the  early 
spring.  These  beautiful  oval-shaped  onions 
are  unsurpassed  for  the  home  garden.  Our 
seed  imported  direct  from  the  best  growers.

rapidity  of  its  growth,  and  is  without  doubt 
the  earliest  onion  known.  Pkt.,  10c;  oz..  50c; 

V4  lb.,'  $1.50;  lb.,  5.00. 


Ailsa  Craig — The  largest  onion  grown. 
This  is  an  English  variety  and  is  quite  popu- 
lar with  the  English  gardeners.  It  resembles 
the  American  variety  of  Prizetaker,  but  will 
grow  much  larger  and  more  globular  in  form. 
The  skin  is  an  attractive  straw  color;  flesh 
in  mild;  will  keep  remarkably  well  for  such 
a large  bulb.  In  order  to  produce  the  largest 
and  best  onion  the  seed  should  be  sown  in  a 
hotbed  early  in  the  spring  and  transplanted 
when  of  sufficient  size.  They  will  prove  val- 
uable for  those  who  grow  them  for  exhibition 
purposes,  as  they  are  most  attractive  and 
showy.  Pkt.,  10c;  y2  oz.,  30c;  oz.,  50c;  U lb-

PEAS 


Culture — Sow  Peas  as  early  in  the  spring 
as  the  ground  can  be  worked,  in  drills  about 
four  inches  deep.  The  rows  must  not  be  near-

should  not  be  nearer  than  three  or  four 
feet,  and  should  have  brush  for  their  sup- 
port. Avoid  fresh  manure  and  very  rich 
soil,  as  they  cause  the  vines  to  grow  toe

RADISH 

The  Secret  of  Growing  Good  Radishes 

The  secret  of  growing  good  radishes  consists  chiefly  in  the  observance,  on  the  part 
of  the  grower,  of  three  points.  First,  they  should  be  grown  on  light  quick  soil.  Second, 
they  should  be  given  plenty  of  water,  and  last,  but  not  by  any  means  least,  the  right  kind 
of  seed  should  be  sown.  Radishes  grow  very  quickly  and  if  not  supplied  with  sufficient 
moisture  are  likely  to  be  pithy. 

Sow  seed  y2  inch  deep  in  the  early  Spring  in  rows  1 foot  apart  and  the  more  fertile  the 
soil  the  faster  they  will  grow.  For  a succession,  sow  every  ten  days  throughout  the  season 
and  stir  the  soil  sufficiently  to  keep  out  weeds. 

One  oz.  of  seed  required  for  100  ft.  of  row; '8  to  10  lbs.  of  seed  will  plant  one  acre. 


Turnip-Shaped  Varieties

lower  portion  is  white,  extending  higher  up 
than  is  usual  with  this  class  of  radish,  and 
forming  a striking  combination  of  colors.

New  Fall -Bearing 
Strawberry  “Progressive” 

Progressive  is  the  best  of  all  late  or 
fall-bearing  Strawberries  that  have  come 
to  our  attention.  The  berries  are  shape- 
ly, of  _a  rich  red  color,  firm,  and  of  de- 
licious flavor;  good  keepers  and  ship- 
pers. 

Progressive  will  bear  as  early  as  most 
varieties,  but  blossoms  should  he  cut 
back  until  about  four  weeks  before  the 
berries  are  wanted,. as  many  as  13  flower 
stems  have  been  cut  from  plants  set  4 
months  and  in  ten  (Jays  they  would  be  in 
full  bloom  again.  Progressive  is  well 
worthy  a trial. 

See  Prices  above.

RELIABLE  SEEDS  GROWN  FROM  SELECTED  STOCK 


CHOICE  FLOWER  SEEDS 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  PLANTING  AND  CULTURE  PRINTED  ON  EACH  PACKAGE. 

General  Culture.  A rather  light  and  moderately  rich  soil,  thoroughly  spaded,  is  most 
desirable.  That  the  tiny  seedlings  may  be  seen  and  the  weeds  removed,  it  is  better  to  plant 
all  flower  seeds  in  rows.  Sow  the  seed  evenly  in  the  rows,  cover  with  the  finest  of  soil, 
about  three  times  the  diameter  of  the  seed,  and  press  the  soil  firmly  over  the  seed.  The 
soil  should  never  become  dry  after  the  seeds  have  swelled,  for  if  it  does,  they  will  be  pretty 
sure  to  fail.  Do  not  grow  the  plants  too  thick.  Keep  the  weeds  down  and  the  surface  of 
the  soil  well  stirred  with  a hce  or  rake  during  the  summer,  especially  if  the  weather  is  dry. 
A gi  eat  many  varieties  can  be  sown  in  the  house,  if  desired,  early  and  afterwards  trans- 
planted. Most  plants  will  continue  to  bloom  much  longer  if  the  flowers  are  picked,  and  not 
allowed  to  form  seed.

Most  valuable  plants,  succeeding-  well  al- 
most anywhere.  They  are  particularly  showy 
in  beds  or  masses  and  are  unversal  favor - 
ities  on  account  of  their  richness  of  color, 
fragrance  and  continued  bloom. 


valed  for  profusion  of  color  The  se^ds  can 
be  planted  in  open  ground  in  autumn  or

while  others  have  a pure  velvety  black  one, 
so  deep  that  it  seems  to  show  no  veining; 
many  are  deeply  lined  and  netted  on  a white, 
pink  or  lavender  ground.  Many  flowers  are

spring  and  summer.

Fine,  hardy  plants,  rivaling  the  rose  in 
perfection  of  bloom,  color  and  fragrance.

but  thrive  best  in  a deep,  rich,  well-drained 
loam.  They  make  a gorgeous  display  planted 
in  beds,  on  the  lawn,  or  planted  singly 
along  a walk  or  herbaceous  border.  The 
Paeony  is  perfectly  hardy  and  generally 
cares  for  itself,  but  it  does  not  follow  that 
they  enjoy  neglect.  Give  them  ample  room

weeds  and  grass,  and  they  will  amply  repay 
all  the  care  given.

EVERGREENS  FOR  HEDGES 
Clip  once  a year  and  then  forget. 

Evergreen  Pledges  add  beauty,  charm  and  comfort  to  the  home  the  year  around,  making 
jood  live  fences,  which  keep  poultry  and  live  stock  out  of  yard  and  garden.  Evergreen 
Hedges  are  more  permanent  and  economical  than  a wire  or  iron  fence. 

The  American  Arbor  Vitae  (White  Cedar),  also  Red  Cedar,  are  two  splendid  Ever- 
greens for  Hedge  planting.  Both  can  be  clipped  to  any  desired  height  or  shape.  Nothing 
is  so  cheerful  and  comforting  as  a neatly  cilpped  Evergreen  hedge  around  the  yard  and 
garden.

Stop  Hatching  Weak 
BSlChicks 


QUEEN  INCUBATORS 

Hatch  Chicks  that 
Live  and  Grow 


Most  of  the  chicks  you  lose  in  the 
first  two  weeks  die  because  they  did 
not  hatch  out  with  enough  vitality  or 
strength  for  a good  start. 

The  Queen  is  accurately  regulated — 
taking  care  of  a temperature  variation 
of  70  degrees  without  danger.  It  is  built 
of  genuine  California  Redwood — very 
scarce  in  these  days  of  imitation  and 
cheap  substitution.  Redwood  does  not 
absorb  the  odor  from  the  hatching  eggs. 
Cheaper  woods,  and  pasteboard  lining  in 
iron  and  tin  machines,  retain  the  odors, 
to  weaken  and  kill  the  hatching  chicks. 

Start  your  chicks  with  a Queen  constitution  and  they  will  make  money  for 
you.  The  Queen  is  not  a cheap  incubator,  compared  with  many  of  the  cheaply 
constructed  machines  on  the  market,  but  it  is  cheap  in  the  long  run.  It  will 
be  turning  out  high  percentage  hatches  years  after  the  cheap  machines  have 
been  junked. 


With  Cheap 
Incubators 

Remember,  it  is 
not  how  ma  jfiny  you  hatch  that  counts 
but  how  many  flyou  raise.  Chicks  that  hatch 
out  weak  and  wobbly,  and  live  but  a few  days, 
mean  nothing  to  you  except  trouble  and  loss. 

Queen  Incubators 

hatch  chicks  that  live  and  grow.That’s  the  kind 
you  want.  You  want  big  hatches,  of  course,  but 
100%  hatches  don’t  mean  much  if  half  the 
chicks  die.  We  sell  Queen  machines  because 
they  have  a splendid  reputation  as  reliable 
hatchers  of  vigorous  chicks.  We  have  some 
Queen  books  that  are  interesting.  You  are  wel- 
come to  a copy.  Just  step  in  and  ask  for  one.

QUEEN  BROODER 
STOVES 

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

Damper  indicated  by  arrow  regu- 
lates the  check  draft  and  the  direct 
draft  to  the  fire.  Gas  controlled 
above  deflector.  No  gas  can  escape 
below  to  injure  chicks.  Hover  is  col- 
lapsible, made  in  sections,  and  easy 
to  put  together  and  take  apart.  Holds 
enough  coal  to  last  40  to  48  hours.
