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.

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.
Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 44 lb., 40c; lb., $1.35.
Beet — Detroit Dark Red
Cresby’s Improved Egyptian — A very supe-
rior strain of blood-red Egyptian. The shape
is very desirable, not quite as flat as the
ordinary Egyptian, nor as round as the
Eclipse. A decided advantage for an extra
early marketable beet. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 44
lb., 40c; lb., $1.35.
Columbia — A superb early main crop beet.
The smooth, clean roots grow three to four
inches in diameter. Flesh deep blood red,
tender and of rich flavor. The beets are
ready for use almost as quickly as the extra
early sorts, and of better quality. It retains
its fine quality until the roots have reached
full size. Foliage is comparatively small, of
a rich bronze color. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 44 lb.,
50c; lb., $1.35.
Extra Early Dark Egyptian — The standard
market variety; grows quickly, producing
smooth, flat, turnip-shaped roots. Pkt., 5c;
oz., 15c; 44 lb., 40c; lb., $1.35.
Early Blood Turnip — The standard early
beet. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 44 lb., 40c; lb., $1.35.
Edmund’s Early Blood Turnip — Dard red;
fine flavor; good for winter use, and one of
the best beets grown. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 44
lb., 40c; lb., $1.35.
Early Flat Bassano —Flesh pink, tender and
sweet. 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.,
$1.35.
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.

Autumn Giant Veitch’s — A large late cauli-
flower with compact white heads; these
large, late sorts are not nearly as reliable as
the Snowball or Erfurt types, but are worthy
of trial. Pkt., 10c; oz., $1.25; *4 lb., $4.00.
Early Dwarf Erfurt — Large snowy white
heads of superior quality, protected better
than any other variety by its upright grow-
ing closely around the head. Pkt., 15c;
14 oz., $1.10; Vs. oz., $2.00; oz., $3.50; *4 lb.
$12.50.
CHICORY
Culture — Pursue the same manner of culti-
vation as for carrots. If to be used as a
salad, blanch the leaves by covering so as
to exclude the light. If raised for its
roots, dig at about the same time as car-
rots, wash the roots and then slice them
either way, and dry thoroughly by artificial
heat.
Large Rooted (For Coffee) — Used as a sub-
stitute for coffee. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; % lb.,
$1.50.
Common “Barbe de Capucin” — Used for

CARROTS
Ready for table in from 95 to 120 days from seed, according to variety. One ounce to a
row 100 feet long; 3 pounds per acre.
Any good land, if thoroughly and deeply worked, will produce satisfactory crops. Sow
as early as the ground can be worked, sow the smaller kinds in rows 16 to 18 inches apart.
For field culture sow in drills 18 to 24 inches apart. Cover one-half inch deep and see that
the soil is pressed firmly above the seed. Do not let the weeds get a sart. Thin to 3 to 6
inches apart in the row as soon as the plants are large enough. For winter use gather and
store like turnips.
Ox-Heart or Guerande — This carrot is
longer and much thicker than the Early
Scarlet Horn; fine-grained and of a deep
orange color; destined to become the leading
carrot; very productive. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c;
14 lb., 40c; lb., $1.50.
Early Scarlet Horn — This is a very early
variety. It is shorter than most of the other
sorts, and the tap root terminates abruptly,
giving it a blunt appearance. Color, deep
orange, fine-grained and agreeably flavored.
Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; % lb., 40c; lb., $1.50.
Chantenay — Tops medium size; necks
small; roots tapering slightly, but uniformly;
stump-rooted and smooth; color, deep orange
red; flesh very crisp and tender, is a medium
early sort, a heavy cropper, and is undoubt-
edly one of the best for both the market and
private gardener. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 14 lb.,
40c; lb., $1.50.
Danver’s Half Long — A great favorite, of
a dark rich orange color and excellent flavor.
A first-class carrot for all soils. Pkt., 5c;
oz., 15c; 14 lb., 40c; lb., $1.50.

garden or market. One of the finest in qual-
ity and handsomest in shape of the medium-
sized sorts. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; *4 lb., 40; lb.,
$1.50.

orange color. Equally adapted for garden or

Carrots
Long Red Coreless — An excellent variety
and worthy for anv garden. Pkt., 5c; oz..
15c; 14 lb.. 40c; lb.. $1.50.

Cauliflower — Early Dwarf Erfurt
S
RELIABLE SEEDS ftROWN FROM SELECTED STOCK
by any warm weather Cabbage. It is t© be
regarded as a second early sort, coming to
maturity long in advance of the parent type.
Its earliness will make it available for all
summer. Pkt., 5c; V6 oz., 39c; 1 oz., 50c;
V4 lb., $1.75; R>., $6.00.
Enkhulzen's Glory — In season, Enkhuizen’s
Glory is one of the earliest of the flat sorts;
size, medium, but very firm and solid — a
most desirable variety for home and market
use; the flavor is good, the leaves being very
fine ribbed. The outer leaves are globe-
shaped, permitting close planting. Om ac-
count of its solidity this variety keeps much
longer than the ordinary early kinds. Pkt.,
5c; % oz., 30c; oz., 50c; V4 lb., $1.75; lb.,
$6.00.
Early Cabbage, “Copenhagen Market’' —
It is undoubtedly without a rival as the fin-
est large round-headed early cabbage in cul-
tivation. The type is thoroughly fixed, the
heads maturing all at the same time (this
being a great consideration to market gar-
deners, entailing less labor in harvesting the
orop and allows the ground- to be cleared at
the first cutting.) The heads average about
ten pounds each in weight, are very solid,
with small core and of fine quality. The
plant is short - stemmed, the heads being
produced almost on the ground level. The
leaVes are light green, rather small, saucer-
shaped, and always tightly folded. The
plants, therefore, can be set closer than is
usual with varieties of similar size. Pkt.,
5c; V4 oz., 30c; oz., 50c; Vi lb., $1.75; lb.,
$6.09.
Extra Early Jersey Wakefield — The “Se-
lected Market Gardener’s Stock.” Exten-
sively grown in all parts of the country as
the best and most profitable early variety in
cultivation, heading readily. Pkt., 5c; oz.,

use, being a sure header, and will grow a
hard head under circumstances where most
sorts would fail. Pkt., 5c; oz., 50c; Vi lb.,
$1.50; lb., $5.00.
Extra Early Express — Earliest of all.
Small pointed heads. Pkt., 5c; oz., 60c; Vi

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

Rose-Ribbed Paris Self- Blanching. — This
magnificent sort comes to us from the or-
iginator,^ the grower of our mark: t garden
strain of Golden Self-Blanching, and resem-
bles in general character that most valuable
variety. The stalks are large, thick, and
beautiful, tinted with rose color at the base,
while the upper part of the stems, par-
ticularly the hearts, are a deep, rich-yellow.
Packet, 10 cents; one-half 02., 60 cents;
oz., $1.00.
Giant Pascal — The well-known and popular
variety for winter use, Vilmorin slrain, only
offered. The stocks are very large, thick,
solid, crisp and of a rich, nutty flavor, free
from any trace of bitterness; it blanches very
easily and quickly and retains its freshness

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.

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.
Burrell’s Gem IVIuskmellon — The Burrell

to bottom. Meat, of a reddish orange, very
thick, fine grained and spicy, not containing
too much water or acid. Seed cavity small
and triangular, the seed closely held in place
in three lobes. The average weight is about
2 Vi lbs., the length 6 inches, and the thick-
ness 4 y2 inches. We recommend this melon
to our customers and know it is all that is

Casaba is a late variety of Musk Melon.
Culture — Casabas should be planted be-
tween May 15th and July 15th, then they
begin to ripen about the close of the canta-
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
Casaba has been largely planted in Colorado
the past two years and has proven good and

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
$1.50; 10 bricks, $2.80; 25 bricks, $6.75.

MUSTARD
One ounce to 75 feet to drill. Very hardy.
Seed can be sown as soon as the soil is free
from frost, in shallow drills. Cut when a
few inches high. It grows rapidly, and sev-
eral sowings may be made.
Mustard is not only used as a condiment,
but the green leaves are used as a salad, or
cut and boiled like spinach. Sow thickly
in rows and cut when about two inches high.

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.

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

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
Earliest Round Dark. (Non Plus Ultra) —
(Forcing). Its shape is of the best type of

Vick’s Scarlet Globe — This grand radish
has established a good reputation as a forc-
ing sort. Its peculiarity is that it will bear
the heat requisite for forcing without be-
coming pithy in character of suffering injury
to its flavor. Its color is a rich scarlet. It
has a small top and is a high-bred radish.

tirely new type, and differs radically from
all the varieties hitherto in cultivation, in-
sofar as its roots attain more than double
the size of those of other forcing varieties
without getting pithy or hollow. This giant
radish develops roots of 6 to 8 inches in
circumference and over an ounce in weight,
their pure white flesh remaining firm and
crisp and mildest of flavor. It is equally
well adapted to outside culture. Pkt., 5c;

variety of radish is exceedingly attractive on
account of its rich markings. The upper
portion of the skin is brilliant red, while the
lower portion is white, extending higher up
than is usual with this class of radish, and
forming a striking combination of colors.
Radish — Vick’s Scarlet Globe
It is a rapid grower, and may be used in
greenhouse or in the garden, for which pur-
pose it is equally well adapted. It grows
very uniform in both size and shape, is ex-
tremely solid and decidedly crisp and tender.

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.

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.

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
