GROW YOUR OWN ASPARAGUS
rn
ASPARAGUS
Asparagus is one of the earliest spring vegetables, and would be in universal use were it not for the mistaken
Idea that it is difficult to grow. In reality, it can be produced very easily and cheaply. A bed 15x50 feet, re-
quiring about 100 plants, should give an abundant supply for the
ordinary family.
CULTURE— Soak the seeds 24 hours in warm water, and sow
early in drills one foot apart. An ounce of seed will sow about 300
feet of drill. Keep the soil mellow and free from weeds. After one
year’s growth, transplant into permanent beds. A warm sandy soil
is the best, and one which has for some years been cultivated in garden
crops and heavily manured is greatly preferred to fresh soil. But at
no period of its growth should the asparagus crop be allowed to lack
for manure.
PALMETTO
It is of very large size, even and regular in growth and appear-
ance. It is very early, immensely productive, and of the best quality.
Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; % lb. 40c; lb. $1.00.

Prices for larger quantities on application.
BEANS — Dwarf or Bush
Add for postage 5c for first lb., and lc each additional lb. % lb. or under, lc each 2 oz.
CULTURE — Plant in drills about 2 inches deep and from 18 inches to 2 feet apart, according to the richness
of the soil — the poorer the soil the closer they can be planted ; the plants should be about 3 inches apart. A
succession of sowings can be made from the first week in May until August. One lb. to 50 feet of drill ;
60 to 80 lbs. to an acre.

CABBAGE
CULTURE — For early cabbages sow the seed in hot bed in March
and April, covering the seed from % to % inch deep and, when big
enough, transplant to another bed. As soon as the ground is in good
condition, transplant outside, in rows 2 feet apart and 15 to 18 inches
in the row. The soil should be mellow, rich and well drained. For
late crop the seed can be sown in a cold frame, or even in the open
ground, and then transplanted in rows 3 feet one way and 2 feet the
other, so as to be able to work with a horse and cultivator. One ounce
of saltpeter dissolved in 3 gallons of water sprinkled over the cabbages
will destroy the green worm. The liquid, being clear, does not color
the cauliflower or cabbage heads. Fine air-slaked lime or tobacco dust, sifted on the ground, will prevent them
from doing any harm. One ounce will produce about 2000 plants. About 16,000 early or 8,000 late cabbage
plant one acre.

NEW GOLDEN BANTAM— The Earliest of All Sweet Corns
This new sweet corn is described as the tenderest, sweetest and best ever-
green sweet corn in existence. Its attractive yellow color being another good
feature added to its many good qualities, makes it an easy seller on the market.
The stalks are vigorous and strong, growing about 4 feet high, and produce
3 to 4 fine 8-rowed ears 6 to 8 inches long. On account of its firm texture it
can be planted earlier than any other variety of sweet corn, and is less apt to
be bothered by worms.
PEEP O’ DAY
It is not only one of the earliest sweet corns, but is very sweet and im-
mensely productive, stalks producing from 2 to 5 large ears and being dwarf,
about 4 feet in height, admits of close planting.
WHITE COB CORY
For a strictly early, for the first market and home use, you can’t be far
wrong with White Cob Cory. We offer northern grown extra early matured
seed.
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN
These ears are not only of good size, but are produced in great abundance,
frequently bearing four good ears, while the average is three to a stalk. The
cob is very small, giving great depth to the kernels, which are of pearly white
quality. It is without doubt the sweetest and most tender of all sweet corns,
and at the same time with ears of good size.
EARLY MINNESOTA
This is among the earliest of the sugar varieties, and is much esteemed
not only because it matures early, but for the excellent qualities as well. Ears
rather small, long and pointed.
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN
This variety is more largely planted than any other, being the general
favorite with canners and market kardeners for late use. It is very productive,
the ears are large size, grains deep, exceptionally tender and sugary, and
remains for a long time in an edible condition.
EARLY EVERGREEN
This corn has all the good qualities of its parent, ‘‘Stowell’s Evergreen,”
but matures earlier. Stalks grow from 6 to 8 feet high.
BLACK MEXICAN
This corn, when in condition for the table, cooks remarkably white ; but the ripe grain is black or bluish
black. It is surpassed by none in tenderness. For family use it is considered by many the most desirable of
the medium late sorts.

CORN SALAD
BROAD LEAVED
Used as a small salad throughout the winter and spring. Sow thickly in drills, cover slightly at first of
autumn and sprinkle with straw on the approach of severe weather, or sow in a cold frame, covered in winter
as may be convenient — thus it is accessible, even when deep snow prevails.
Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 50c; lb. $1.00.
CRESS
GARDEN CURLED OR PEPPER GRASS
Used as a small salad. Sow very thickly in shallow drills, on a smooth surface, at short intervals through-
out the season.
Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; % lb. 50c; lb. $1.00.
TRUE WATER CRESS
It is quite distinct from the Garden Cress, and only thrives when its roots and stems are submerged in
water. It is one of the most delicious of small salads and should be planted wherever a suitable place can be
found.
Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; % lb. $1.00.
CUCUMBERS
CULTURE — Drop in hills 4 to 6 feet apart, as soon as the weather becomes settled and warm. Scatter 8
or 10 seeds to a hill and cover half an inch deep, and pat it down with a hoe. Hoe often, and when out of
danger of insdcts, thin to 4 plants to a hill. June and July is the time to sow for pickling. One ounce to
50 hills ; two pounds to an acre.
Select White Spine
EARLY WHITE SPINE
Vines vigorous, fruiting early and abundantly ; fruit uniformly straight and
handsome, dark green, with a few white spines ; flesh tender and of excellent flavor.
In this country this variety is used more, perhaps, than any other for forcing under

pickle. Medium long, a great producer.
Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; % lb. 35c; lb. $1.00.
JAPANESE CLIMBING.
While all cucumbers are running vines, this variety is much more so than others.
It climbs quickly on poles or trellises and is entirely distinct. The quality is splen-
did and well adapted for pickling and salads. The great advantage of having a
cucumber trained on a pole or fence is evident.
Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; % lb. 35c; lb. $1.00.
IMPROVED LONG GREEN
Unquestionably this is the most popular general purpose cucumber in the west.
When matured it is 9 to 12 inches long, very solid and crisp, and retains its dark
green color until nearly ripe. One of the best for small pickles if pickled properly.
Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; % lb. 40c; lb. $1.25.
DAVIS PERFECT
This is one of the very best cucumbers grown, both for forcing and for out of
doors. It is slim and symmetrical in shape, and from 9 to 12 inches long and of a
dark, glossy green color, changing to white, without a streak of yellow, only when
nearly ripe.
Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; 14 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00.
EVERBEARING
This variety is of small size, very early, enormously productive, and valuable as
a green pickle. Its peculiar merit, however, is that the vines continue to flower and
produce fruit until killed by frost, whether the cucumbers are picked off or not.
Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; % lb. 35c; lb. $1.00.
ENDIVE
CULTURE — It is the same as lettuce. In order to bleach the green varieties gather all the leaves together
and tie them for a few days. It furnishes an appetizing salad for the fall and winter months.

PATRONIZE HOME TRADE
EGG PLANT
CULTURE — Sow in hotbeds very early in the spring ;
thin them out as soon as big enough to be handled to 3
or' 4 inches each way ; and transplant to 2 or 3 feet
apart in very rich, warm ground. Do not plant them
outside till nights are real warm as the least frost will,
if it does not kill them, check the growth and it will take
two or three weeks before they get over it. Hoe often
and hill up gradually till they blossom. One ounce to
1,500 plants.

GARLIC
The garlic is the most pungent of all the onion fam-
ily. It is much used in the south of Europe. The root
or bulb is composed of many small bulbs called “cloves,”
which are planted in the spring 6 to 8 inches apart, and
in August the bulbs are ready to gather.
Bulbs, lb. 50c. Ask for quantity price.
KOHL-RABI
CULTURE — Sow in the spring in rows 18 inches apart,
afterwards thin to 8 to 10 inches in the row. The edible
part of the turnip-shaped bulb is formed by the enlarge-
ment of the stem. When used for the table they should
be cut when quite small, as it is then very tender and
delicate, but if allowed to reach its full size it becomes
tough and stringy. One ounce produces 2,000 plants.
New York Improved Egg Plant
LEEK
LETTUCE
CULTURE — A hardy species of onion sown in drills or broadcast. When six
inches high transplant into rows a foot apart, setting the plants 4 or 5 inches deep
and about 6 inches apart in the rows. Used mostly in soups and stews. One ounce
;o 1,000 plants.
LARGE LONDON OR SCOTCH FLAG
This leek, aside from being valuable for soups and salads, when bleached makes
an excellent dish if sliced and cooked like green peas.
Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; *4 lb. 75c; lb. $2.50.
Large London Leek
CULTURE — The early sowing may be made under glass, in January or February,
keeping the plants thin and admitting plenty of air every fine day. For a succession,
outside, sow every two weeks, as soon as the ground is open, in drills one foot apart,
covering the seed about one-quarter of an inch deep and thinning out to 6 or 8
inches in the row. For a cut salad sow thicker and do not thin out. They do best in
a rich and moist soil. One ounce to 3,000 plants.
NEW YORK OR WONDERFUL (The Best Head Lettuce for Market Growers)
This is the mammoth head lettuce so popular in California, called “Los Angeles.” The immense heads are
solid, heavy, beautifully blanched to a creamy white with bright green outer leaves. The quality is unsurpassed,
being tender, crisp and sweet. “New York” is a hardy, rapid grower, deep rooted and resistant to drought; a
slow seeder and sure to head.
Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; % lb. $1.50; lb. $5.50.
CABBAGE OR HEADED VARIETIES
BIG BOSTON
This is a fine forcing variety for cold frames during the winter months, as it produces heads of very large
size, often 10 to 12 inches across, and succeeds better in a cooler temperature than most forcing strains. The
large heads are beautifully blanched and of superior quality. It heads well also in the open ground during
cool weather or spring and fall, and is very popular in the south to grow for shipping north. Our seed is the
choicest it is possible to produce.
Price— Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; % lb. 35c; lb. $1.00.
CALIFORNIA CREAM BUTTER

Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00.
GRAND RAPIDS
As a lettuce for greenhouse forcing, this variety un
doubtedly stands at the head of the list, being of quick
growth, little liable to rot, and standing for some days
after being fit to cut. The plant is upright and forms
a large, loose head or cluster of large yellowish green
leaves. Slightly crimped and blistered and rather thin.
It will stand shipping long distances better than most
sorts.
Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; 14 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00.
MUSK MELON
CULTURE — The soil for musk melons must be light,
rich and sandy ; if grown on a heavy soil, the quality
will be poor and they will not be so early. When there
is no more danger of frost drop 8 to -0 seeds in hills 6
feet apart each way, covering three-quarters inch deep.
As soon as plants commence to run, thin out to three
best plants in a hill and cultivate till the vines cover the
whole ground. If slow to fruit, pinch off the ends of
the growing shoots. Ashes or air-slaked lime sifted on
the young plants while the dew is on is good to keep
the insects out. One ounce will plant about 60 hills, and
its takes two or three pounds on one acre.
GREEN FLESH VARIETIES
THE ROCKY FORD CANTALOUPE
It is of the Netted Gem type, oval in shape, averaging 4% to 5 inches in length, of a delicious flavor, very
fine and smooth grained flesh of light green color throughout when ripe. It takes its name from the district

point these melons are shipped by the car load to every station in the United States, till the name Rocky Ford
has become a synonym for excellence in cantaloupes. The seed we offer is of our own growing, and can be

ONION
CULTURE — Onions thrive best in rather deep, rich, loamy soil, and unlike most vegetables, succeed well
on the same ground for successive years. The ground should be deeply trenched and manured the previous
autumn, and laid up in ridges during the winter to soften. As early in the spring as the ground is in working
order commence operations by leveling the ground with a rake, and treat it firmly ; sow thinly in rows 14 to
15 inches apart, 4 pounds to the acre, and a quarter of an inch deep. Cover wiht fine soil and press down
with the back of a spade or a light roller.

PARSNIP
CULTURE — They do best in deep, rich, sandy soil, but will make good roots on
any soil which is deep and mellow and moderately rich. As the seed is sometimes
slow to germinate, it should be sown as early as possible. Cover % inch deep, and
press the soil firmly over the seed; give frequent cultivation, and thin the plants 6
to 8 to the foot. As they are improved by frost, a part of the crop should be left
in the ground for spring use. One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill. Five pounds
to one acre.
SUGAR OR HOLLOW CROWNED
The best for table use ; a vegetable of merit, easily raised, and of great pro-
ductiveness. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00.
PEAS
CULTURE — Peas do best in sandy soil, not too rich or they will run up to vines.
The smooth kinds can be sown as soon as the ground can be worked, but the wrinkled
Hollow Crown varieties should not be planted till it is warmer or they will rot. Sow in single or
double rows from 1% to 3 feet apart, dropping a pea every inch and covering from
2 to 3 inches deep. For a succession, sow every ten days up to July. Pea seeds are some years full of small
holes caused by an insect called pea weevil. The holes will not prevent the seeds from growing, as the germ
is not destroyed. One pound to 50 feet of drill, 90 to 120 pounds to an acre.
In ordering peas, add 5c for first pound and one cent each additional pound for postage.
Order early. Seed Peas very scarce and almost impossible to secure.

RADISH — French Stock
EARLY ROUND VARIETIES
CULTURE — Sow as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, and every two weeks throughout the
season for a succession of crops. A warm, sandy loam, made rich and light by some good strong manure
which is thoroughly rotted, will be most likely to make them brittle and free from worms. During the summer
months use summer and winter varieties, as the early kinds get pithy. Winter radishes can be wintered over as
easily as any root crop and furnish an acceptable relish. One ounce to 100 feet of drill ; 10 pounds to an acre.
Five-pound lots in one variety, 15c less per pound, not prepaid.
CRIMSON GIANT
This new radish is an entirely new type and differs radically from all the varieties hitherto in cultivation,
insofar as its roots attain more than double the size of those of other forcing varieties without getting pithy
or hollow. This giant radish debelops roots 6 to 8 inches in circumference and over an ounce in weight, their
pure white flesh remaining firm, crisp and mildest of flavor. It is equally well adapted to outside culture.

very bright color, quite unique, being the most fiery scarlet in any kind
of radishes. It is very slightly tipped with white, and the flesh is
crisp and tender.
Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 40c; lb. $1.25.
WHITE ICICLE

Long Island Short Top, with less foliage, rendering it most desirable
for forcing. In the open ground the roots continue brittle, crisp and
mild, until they are fully as large as those of the Long Bright Scarlet.
The Icicle is, perhaps, superior to the finest long red ones. Roots pure
snowy white, 4 inches in length and % inch in diameter ; they retain

SPINACH
CULTURE — It is one of the most easily managed of all vegetables, requiring little culture. The main crop
is sown in September, and it is sometimes covered with straw in exposed places during winter, which prevents
it from being cut with the frost. For summer use it may be sown at intervals of two or three weeks from
March to August. Spinach is best developed, most tender and succulent when grown in rich soil. One ounce
to 100 feet of drill ; 10 to 12 pounds to an acre. Five pounds or more of one variety, not prepaid, at 10c less
per pound.

CULTURE — Turnips do best in highly enriched, light, sandy or gravel soil. Commence sowing early varie-
ties in April in drills from 12 to 15 inches apart, and thin out early to 6 or 9 inches in the rows. For a
succession, sow at intervals of a fortnight until the last week in July, from which time until the end of August
sowing may be done for the main crop. One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill ; 1% pounds to an acre.
Five pounds of any variety, not prepaid, at 15c less per pound.

mos, while for keeping qualities when cut they are
unexcelled. Early Flowering. Mixed, Pkt. 10c.

PANSIES
Next to the roses there is no other plant which en-
joys such universal popularity as the Pansy. It is a
favorite with all, having a larger assortment of colors
than most other flowers. It is a hardy perennial ;
blooms continuously from spring until late in the fall,
and will, if slightly covered, bring fine results the sec-
ond year. No garden, however small it may be, should
be without a bed of pansies.
BURPEE’S BEST GIANT-FANCY
These largest and most beautiful of all blotched
Pansies have been developed after years of close selec-
tion by a skilled market grower, who raises no other
strain than this, which he has improved to such a
wonderful degree. The well formed expanded flowers
are uniformly of the largest size and good substance;
they are borne upon long stiff stems well above the
heavy deep-green foliage. Of varied ground colors,
such as white, cream, yellow, deep orange, mahogany,
claret, rose, reddish bronze, lavender and light blue,
each petal is beautifully blotched. The compact
rounded plants are of sturdy habit, and so deep rooted
that they bear the gigantic flowers profusely and con-
tinuously. The seed necessarily is very expensive,

out the entire season. Beautiful new colors, striped
and marked in the most diversified manner. The ease
of culture, profuse and continuous blooms, adaptation
for different styles of growth — indoors and in the gar-
den— render the Petunia one of the most valuable of
the annuals and entitled to a generous share of the
space in every garden. In bloom from the first of
July to October. Half hardy perennial.

make such a dazzling display of beauty as a bed of
many hued, brilliant-colored Portulaca. They are in
bloom from about the first of July until killed by
frost in autumn. Plant in open ground after it has
become warm, in light soil and in a dry situation. If
the beds have a full exposure to the sun the ground
will be covered with the plants and the effect beauti-
ful. Tender annual. Height 6 inches.

colors there is nothing to equal these Oriental Pop-
pies. The flowers are of enormous size, often meas-
uring over 6 inches in diameter, while the colors
range from soft flesh and rose to the most brilliant,
dazzling scarlet and richest maroon-purple. One of
their most dazzling qualities is that they are perfectly
hardy perennials, living through winters with but lit-
tle protection and increasing in size from year to year.
Pkt. 10c.
SALPIGLOSSIS
A beautiful annual that deserves to be more widely
known ; when once grown in the garden will be one of
the first to be chosen for next year. Flowers of the
richest colors — blue, crimson, yellow, purple, scarlet,
etc., with texture like rich velvet ; each petal beauti-
fully penciled. Splendid for bouquets. Height 2 feet.
Mixed colors. Pkt. 5c.
SALVIA
The Salvia or Scarlet Flowering Sage is a very or-
namental plant, flowering in spikes, and continues in
bloom in the open ground until frost, when the plants
can be removed to the greenhouse and they will con-
tinue in bloom a long time. This variety is of the
dwarf habit, and the spikes of flowers are not so large
as some of the greenhouse sorts. Height 1% feet.
Tender annual. Pkt. 10c.
STOCKS— Ten Weeks
Plants grow about 1 foot high, making a compact
bush, covered with splendid spikes of blossoms from
July till frost. The seed is our own importation from
the most celebrated German grower of this flower,
saved only from selected pot plants, and will produce
the largest proportion possible to obtain of large
double flowers, in the most brilliant colors and vari-
ety. Half hardy annual. Height 1 foot.
Double, Mixed, Pkt. 10c.
SWEET WILLIAM — Dianthus Barbatus
The improved varieties of this popular flower are
very beautiful, and should find a place in every gar-
den. A great variety of rich colors, eyed and var-
iegated with other shades, forming large trusses of
blooms, remaining a long time in blossom. A bed of
Sweet Williams is very attractive the last of June
and the first of July, at a time when but few other
flowers are in blossom. Hardy perennial. Height 18
inches. Double, Mixed, Pkt. 5c.
SWEET PEAS
Since the advent of the Spencelr Type of Sweet
Peas the propagation of this beautiful flower is being
indulged in by more people every year. The great
number of different colors admits of our making our
own selection and the work required in the growing
is far more than compensated by the long period of
blooms with their extremely long stems and brilliant
colors. If you have never tried the Spencer Sweet
Peas, begin this season by trying some of the popular
varieties mentioned below. They may be grown in
single or double rows, preferably in rows extending
north and south.
The trench should be spaded 18 inches deep and filled
with good soil, placing in the bottom a good mixture of
well rotted stable manure and a mixture of ground
bone nearer the surface. When ready to plant, furrow
out to depth of five or six inches, drop in the seeds
quite close together and cover to a depth of about two
inches. When the plants come up thin to about three
inches apart and gradually draw in the dirt around
them until the trench is filled. Keep the soil moist,
and a light mulching will tend to hold the moisture
and prevent the soil bjaking and becoming so hot.
Plant as early as the soil can be worked, as the frost
will not hurt the young plants. Stick brush along
the rows or form some kind of a trellis for them to
climb upon. The offerings given below contain some
of the very best varieties: Pkt. Oz.

This is a white-capped Yellow Dent variety, devel-
oped in Minnesota, and while some object to the color,
it has proved to lie a good cropper for northern cli-
mates, subject to frost. Stock grows about 6 feet tall
and produces a medium sized ear. Our stock is pure
and came direct from the growers. Prices on appli-
cation.

guarantee purity on any grain, but assure you it will
be the best obtainable. Our process for cleaning is
near perfect. When grain seeds are shipped in seam-
less sacks, we charge 75c each extra. Price, for all
varieties, except where noted. 4 lbs. for 25c. For

MARQUIS WHEAT
The wheat that will lead all others in Idaho. Our
seed stock was shipped direct from Canada by us, was
sowed May 10th and harvested August 19th, yielding
50 bushels per acre. Grades No. 1 Hard for milling
purposes. Kernels hard and flinty, a little darker than
the Red Fife, and more plump. Our field was carefully
inspected by us personally, and we offer you as near a
perfect strain as is obtainable. Start your crop right.
Sample on request.
Price 6c per lb. ..Special price on quantities. _
We carry in stock recleaned wheat of the different
varieties, and would be pleased to quote you on re-
quest, in quantities to suit.
DICKLOW WHEAT
This wheat was selected after the inspection of a
dozen fields and was as near pure as it is possible to
obtain. The field of 55 acres yielded 58 bushells
to the acre. It is a soft spring wheat of the club va-
riety and stands up well.
Price 6c per lb. Write early for quantity prices, as
our supply is limited.
EARLY BART WHEAT
A splendid spring variety. Although bearded, we
believe it will give results where others fail ; particu-
larly adapted to dry land ; about three weeks earlier
than Blue Stem.
6c per pound. Get quantity price.
BARLEY
Sow 80 to 100 pounds per acre
Prices on application
NAKED BEARDLESS OR WHITE HULL-LESS—
This is decidedly distinct from the malting variety,
having no beard and shelling its hull same as wheat.
In fact, some people have mistaken the grain for
wheat. It is best of all barleys for feeding and is
rapidly taking the place of spring rye. Grows very
rank and vigorously and thrives even at altitudes of
8,000 to 9,000 feet. As there is a species of Naked
Barley which has a beard, be sure to get the light
colored barley if you want the beardless. On account
of its rank growth, it requires less to sow an acre.
BLUE BALLED OR NAKED BARLEY— This shells
out like wheat, is the heaviest yielder of all barley,
and as good a feed.
EARLY BLACK (70 day) BARLEY
This is undoubtedly the earliest of all Barley. In
70 days from the time this barley was taken out of
the bin to sow, the new crop was threshed and put
back in the bin. Our supply on this barley is very
limited. Get us your order early.
Prices and samples on application.
RYE
Sow 60 to 80 pounds per acre
SPRING RYE — It is a quick growing crop which
will gfrve a good early pasture and later on a good
cutting of hay or a grand crop, of grain. Please note
that in ordering spring rye we offer what is furnished
us as spring rye, but make no guarantee for same.
Prices on request.
FALL OR WINTER — It is a good crop for early
fall or spring pasture, as it keeps green a long time
in the fall and starts growing again as soon as the
weather gets a little warm. Does well in any kind of
soil. There is always a good market for good fall rye
for seeding purposes. Prices upon request.

ALFALFA OR LUCERNE
This plant is too well known in this state to require
description, being especially adapted to our soil and
climatic conditions. The large long roots penetrate
deep into the soil and gather nitrogen, thus increas-
ing the fertility to the highest point. Sow 12 to 15
lbs. per acre.
Price, 1 lb., 50c. Ask for quantity price.
GRIMM ALFALFA
An Alfalfa Which is Extra Hardy and Vigorous
In Minnesota there has been developed a strain of
Alfalfa which stands the northern winters perfectly.
This Alfalfa does not winter-kill as do the ordinary
varieties in that locality. It is easy to establish, has
wonderful vitality, and it has a branching root sys-
tem which permits it to grow on hardpan soils and
where water is near th)e surface. This Alfalfa was
developed by Mr. Wendeilin Grimm, and has been
called Grimm Alfalfa.
Grimm Alfalfa is drought resisting, winters per-
fectly, thrives on all soils except undrained meadow
land and is unaffected by extreme heat or cold, wet or
dry climate. Its feeding value is of the highest, and
the plant stools more than the ordinary alfalfa, so
that, when sown broadcast, 12 pounds of seed per
acre is sufficient. If your conditions are such as to
require an extremely hardy, drought resisting Alfalfa,
you will find that Grimm Alfalfa will be the best for
these conditions. Genuine variety, prepaid, 80c per lb.
Write for quantity prices.
TURKESTAN OR DRY-LAND ALFALFA
Imported Seed
We recommend this for situations where water is
not abundant. We suggest that it be seeded a little
heavier than the ordinary type, as it is inclined to
become coarse and woody, and thick sowing will pro-
duce finer plants. We can supply this in original
package, or in smaller quantity. Price 45c per pound.
Write or wire us on larger quantities.
GENUINE COSSACK ALFALFA
This variety comes from a region in Siberia where
the total annual precipitation does not exceed eight
inches and the temperature varies from 106 degrees
in summer to 50 degrees below in winter, often with-
out snow. Planted in rows 2x4 feet or 5444 plants to
the acre.
1 lb., $1.50; 5 lbs., $6.50; 10 lbs., $12.50.
ALSIKE OR SWEDISH CLOVER
Trifolium Hybridum
Comes from the little province of Alsike in Sweden.
Does not winter kill, stands alike drouth or wet. One
of the hardiest varieties known, it is perennial and a
great favorite with bee-keepers, as its flowers have a
sweet and agreeable odor and afford excellent forage
for bees. Sow 5 to 8 pounds to the acre.
Per lb., 60c.
CRIMSON CLOVER (Trifolium Incarnatum)
An annual variety in common use in Italy and
South France for feeding green. Also grown largely
in this country in Virginia, and we find it does well
in our western states. It is meeting with favor in
Texas and adjoining states. Two to four weeks earlier
than the red clover and for that reason more desir-
able. Immense yielder of fodder. Commences to grow
at once after cutting, and continues to do so until
frost. Height 1 foot ; roots nearly black ; blossoms
long and deep carmine color. Makes good hay. Sow
in the fall in southern country. Sow 15 lbs. to the
aicre. Per lb., 35c.
WHITE BOKHARA OR SWEET CLOVER
Melilotus Alba
Tall shrub plant. Grows from 4 to 6 feet high, with
branches whose extremes bear abundant small white
extremely fragrant flowers. Splendid for bees. The
best plant to grow as a soil renovator. Sown in the
spring in drills 16 inches apart. Ten pounds will sow
an acrel Per lb., 35c.
RED CLOVER — Trifolium Pratense
Regarded as the most important of the whole genus
for practical agriculture ; valuable not only for forage
but also as a fertilizer for the soil. Long, powerful
tap roots, which in decaying add largely to that black
mass of matter we call soil. Makes excellent hay,
the acre. Per lb., 60c. Ask for prices in quantities.
MAMMOTH SAPLING OR PEAVINE CLOVER
Being a rank grower makes it most valuable for
fertilizing purposes. Forage, flower and stem much
darker than common red clover ; ripens later than the
latter, about the same time timothy, red top and other
grasses ripen, making thereby a much better quality of
hay, when mixed with them. Sow 12 to 15 lbs. to
the acre. Per lb., 60c.
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER— Trifolium Repense
Excellent for pasture, and when mixed with Ken-
tucky Blue Grass makes the finest and most nutritious
food for sheep and cows. Used universally for lawns
in most of the United States. Sow for pastures 5 to 8
lbs. to the acre. Fancy, 75c.
GRASS FOR LAWNS AND PASTURES
Postage 5c per lb. and lc each additional lb.
Ask for prices on quantities
CANADIAN BLUE GRASS— Pea Compressa
Produces a fine foliage of dark green color, and is
more hardy than Kentucky Blue Grass. It is especially
adapted to light, poor, dry soils, and makes very
satisfactory lawns. It has somewhat of a creeping
habit and does not need to be clipped as often as Ken-
tucky Blue Grass. 1 lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.00.
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS
The Great American Grass. The standard for lawns.
Our “Idaho Tested Seeds” grade is purest obtainable.
The old standard grass for pasture as well as lawns.
Every farmer knows it and its good qualities. Sow
about 25 to 30 lbs. to the acre for meadows ; for lawns.
120 to 150 pounds to the acre. Our “Idaho Tested
Seeds” grade of Blue Grass is put up in sealed pack-
ages. Ask for “Idaho Tested Seeds.”
1 lb., 40c; 10 lbs., $3.75.
CREEPING BENT GRASS — Agrostis Stolonifera
Especially recommended for lawns at country homes
where depending on irrigation. It flourishes with but
little moisture. Also good on terraces and sloping
ground. Pound, 65c.
PERENNIAL ENGLISH RYE GRASS
Lolium Perenne
While this has long been esteemed in Europe and
Australia, it has but recently been recognized by our
western ranchers. It is worthy of all the praise given.
As a pasture grass it grows quickly and withstands
drouth reasonably well. For pasture sow in the spring,
25 to 30 pounds to the acre ; for lawns, 60 to 70 lbs. to
the acre. 1 lb. 30c.
MEADOW FESCUE OR ENGLISH BLUE GRASS
Festuca Pratensis
Especially adapted for permanent pasture. Grows 2
to 3 feet high, but not in tufts like Orchard Grass.
Earliest and most nutritious of grass. Makes good hay
and cattle thrive on it, whether in dry or green state.
Succeeds even on poor soil, and as the roots penetrate
deep, from 12 to 15 inches, it takes extremely dry
weather to affect it. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per acre.
Lb. 40c.
TALL MEADOW OR EVERGREEN GRASS
Avena Elatior
The roots of this grass descend deeply into the sub-
soil, enabling it to withstand a protracted drouth, and
is green all seasons of the year. Its early growth in
READ TOP PAGE 26

WRITE US YOUR WANTS — WE SUPPLY YOU
the spring makes it equal to rye for pasture. It
grows quickly after mowing, giving a denser and more
succulent aftermath than any of the present popular
tame grasses. Sow broadcast 25 to 30 lbs. of seed to
an acre. Per lb., 40c.
ORCHARD GRASS — Dactylis Glomerata
No farmer should be without a small fiield of Or-
chard Grass, as in many respects it is superior to all
other grasses. It stands the drouth, grows well in the
shade, does well in wet or poor ground, and is splen-
did to prevent wornout fields from washing. This
grass furnishes excellent pasturage three weeks before
any other and after olose grazing ten days’ rest is
sufficient for another growth. Cows fed on this will
produce more and richer milk than on blue grass. It
makes a very heavy sod, and when well set remains
for many years. It is especially adapted for winter
grazing, as it remains green all season. It is well
suited to sow mixed with alfalfa on average of 12 lbs.
orchard to 8 lbs. alfalfa seed. Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per
an acre. Per lb., 40c.
TIMOTHY — Phleum Pratense
As a crop for hay, timothy is probably unsurpassed
by any other grass. It is generally relished by all
kinds of stock, especially horses, yields more nutritive
matter than any other grasses or forage plants. Being
an early grass, it is well adapted to spring and sum-
mer grazing, and if the fall season is favorable it will
grow sufficiently to furnish good fall grazing, too.
Sow 10 or 12 lbs. to the acre. Per lb., 20c. Ask for
prices on larger quantities.
RED TOP — Agrostis Vulgaris
A valuable grass for most soils. It is good, perma-
nent grass, standing our climate as well as any other,
and consequently well adapted to our pastures, in
which it should be fed close, for if allowed to grow
up to seed, the cattle refuse it. On moist, rich soil
it will grow two feet, and on poor gravelly soil about
half that height. It has been grown successfully even
on “alkali” bottom lands, where other grasses failed.
We have discontinued handling the chaffy grade of
Red Top, and now offer only the clean seed. Sow 15 to
20 lbs. clean seed to the acre. Per lb., 30c.
BROMUS INERMUS OR HUNGARIAN BROME
GRASS
A wonderful drouth resister. A grass for the stock
raiser. All kinds of stock like it. Will drive out
Russian thistle, also black mustard.
This pre-eminent drouth resisting grass stands at
the head of all, and is destined to lead the most satis-
factory and valuable forage grass in all localities
where arid soils demand a plant with ability to with-
stand drouth. Stands intense cold equally well. May
be sown in autumn with winter wheat, or in early
spring. In southern states sow in February or March,
preparing lands as for other grasses. Blooms in north
in June, and earlier in southern states. For hog pas-
tures a mixture of Bromus Inermus and alfalfa, where
the latter succeeds well, is recommended by Prof. Ten
Eyck, of the Kansas State Agricultural Experiment
Station, and he also suggests for large pastures for
cattle a mixture of the following per acre: Bromus
Inermus, 10 lbs. ; Orchard Grass, 6 lbs. ; Meadow Fes-
cue 8 lbs. ; Red Clover, 1 or 2 lbs.
Its nature is to stool out, and thus it does not show
its best until the second season. It seldom produces
seed the first year. Aside from alfalfa, no grass has
fulfilled the promises to our western farmers better
than the Bromus Inermus. It meets drouth as well as
wet and cold, and for Idaho we know of no grass to
equal it. Many of our large ranchers are planting it
extensively. Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. Per lb., 35c.
GRASS SEED MIXTURES FOR MEADOWS AND
PASTURES
It is a well ascertained fact that a thicker and more
prolonged growth is produced by a mixture of many
sorts of grasses that are especially suitable. Some sorts
do best on high ground and in dry weather ; others
prefer plenty of moisture. Some mature so early and
others so late, that from the beginning of spring until
winter sets in there is no time when one species or
another is not at its best.
In the matter of preparing the soil for pasture, it is
necessary to put the ground in the best condition pos-
sible to get the best results. The soil should be per-
fectly even after sowing the seed. You will find that
cross-harrowing will be to your advantage, as it has
a tendency to scatter the seed more evenly. The fol-
lowing mixtures will be found desirable to use for
permanent pastures, as they are properly proportioned
for their different uses.
We are prepared to furnish any mixture wanted at
the lowest prices, and would ask that you ask us for
mixture prices, such as you may require for pasture
mixtures.

GOLDEN MILLET
No other grass or forage has been able to produce
the enormous/ yield of this plant. It has produced 4
to 5 tons of hay to the acre, and from 70 to 80 bush-
els of seed. If sown in the spring on newly broken
prairie, it leaves the ground in the finest condition
for wheat, after harvesting it. Sow 25 to 40 lbs. to
the acre. Per lb., 10c.
EARLY FORTUNE, or Broom Corn Millet
So called on account of the head being a panicle,
as in broomcorn. Seed red and slightly larger than
common millet, producing more seed and rather less
foliage than Foxtail millet. Will produce seed in dry,
hot seasons. Said not to have the diuretic effect of
Foxtail millet. Price, lb. 15c; 10 lbs. $1.00.
JAPANESE MILLET, or “Million Dollar Grass”
Prof. Brooks, of the Massachusetts Experiment Sta-
tion, is quoted as saying : “At our station it produced
60 bushels of seed, 11,297 pounds of straw, 36,000
pounds of green fodder, 21,000 pounds of good hay
per acre, being superior to good corn fodder in feeding
for milk, and in combination with the Soja bean makes
a very superior ensilage. Recommended highly for
feeding dairy cattle, young stock and sheep, being
very rich in nutritious elements. If sown latter part
of April will be ready to cut for hay by middle of
July. Attains a height of from 5 to 7% feet, accord-
ing to season.” We cannot recommend it in the far
north.
Pound, 15c; 10 lbs. $1.00.
NEW SIBERIA OR RUSSIAN MILLET
It is claimed to be the most wonderfully productive
and satisfactory forage plant, possessing in a superior
delgree all the essential merits of any of the older
sorts, exceeding them by far. The claims made by its
introducers are that it is from two to three weeks
earlier than the Golden millet, is a much heavier
cropper, that the hay is much finer, stalks more elastic
and growing much taller, that it is rust-proof, and
chinch bugs do not relish it, and being of stooling
habit, requires much less seed per acre. You should
try it. Per lb., 15c; 10 lbs. $1.00.
TEOSINTE
Recommended as the most prolific forage plant yet
introduced. The stalk, containing much saccharine
matter, is very nutritious. It can be cut several times
during the season, yielding enormously. One seed will
sometimes produce 20 to 60 stalks or shoots, and the
warmer the climate the better it yields. Should not
be planted until the soil is perfectly warm in the
spring. Requires about 4 pounds seed per acre. Plant
in drills 3 feet apart, and 2 to 3 seeds every 12 inches
in drills.
Mlb., 50c; lb. $1.50.
AUSTRALIAN SALT BUSH
The Forage Plant for Arid and Alkali Soils
This new plant comes to us from California, where
it has been tested and experimented with to a large
extent. Lands that have hitherto been barren and
worthless have been rendered productive and valuable.
It can scarcely be conceived that alkali soils, coated
with their salts as covered with snow, can be changed
in their appearance and constituents, yet such is being
accomplished most satisfactorily and with little ex-
pense by the use cf Salt Bush. Already thousands of
acres of arid and alkali lands have been reclaimed by
seeding them to this valuable plant. The transforma-

tion has seemingly something of the miraculous
about it.
DIRECTIONS — Sow 1 lb. of seed to an acre in the
spring, before a rain if possible, or irrigate well, on
well puverized soil and cover it lightly (about ys of
an inch) with a light harrow or brush, or the plants
may be grown in boxes or garden bed, covering the
seed lightly, and planting the seedlings where desired,
when from 2 to 3 inches high, 6 or 7 feet apart. If
the weather is dry when transplanting, supply a little
water to each plant. Oz. 15c; *4 lb. 50c; lb. $1.25.
DWARF ESSEX RAPE — Brassica Napius
Main standby of the English farmer in raising choice
mutton. Perfectly hardy and posseses remarkable fat-
tening properties. Easily grown. One acre will pas-
ture 36 head two months, and lambs will make a gain
of from 8 to 12 lbs. per month. Pigs and cattle are
also extremely fond of it. A very rank grower and
bears heavy manuring and high cultivation. Sow at
intervals of several weeks and secure a supply of good
feed. Sown in June, rape should be fed in August,
though if the first crop is cut about 4 inches from the
ground, an aftergrowth will be useful later. For
breeding flocks a piece should be sown first week in
July or later. Does well sown with oats. If the soil
Is rich and clean, sow broadcast, otherwise in drills
to cultivate same as corn. Poultrymen will do well
to sow a small patch to feed green to growing chicks.
Can be sown on wheat stubble, furnishing excellent
pasture late in the fall. Does well on alkali ground.
Broadcast it takes 8 to 10 lbs. to the acre ; in drills 4
to 5 pounds to the acre. Per lb. 20c.
COW KALE, or Thousand Headed Kale
The great demand for this wonderful forage plant
proves it to be the most valuable green feed for Pacific
Coast dairy and stock men ; endorsed by Agricultural
Colleges and Government Stations. Cow Kale should
be grown in the same manner as cabbage. Make the
rows 4 feet, plants 3 feet apart in the rows. Can be
set as late as July. Write for full information on
planting and feeding. Postpaid, oz. 10c.
SUGAR CANE OR SORGHUM
Early Amber, a valuable crop to grow for fodder or
ensilage, as it furnishes an immense tonnage to the
acre. When fed while young it makes a rapid second
growth. Postpaid, lb. 20c; write for quantity price.
SILVER HULL BUCKWHEAT
An improved sort, much excelling the old common
variety, which it has about superseded with us. It
blooms longer, matures sooner, and yields double the
amount per acre. Husk thinner, corners less promi-
nent, and seeds of a beautiful light gray color. Flour
made from this variety is pronounced better and more
nutritious than others. Sow 30 to 50 lbs. to an acre.
Pound, 15c; 10 lbs. $1.00.
JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT
A new variety that has been raised here with good
results. Early and very productive, with kernels twice
the size of any other buckwheat, of a rich, dark brown
color, and makes superior flour. As it possesses a
branching habit, only half as much seed is required
to plant an acre. Straw is very stiff and stands up
well. Pound 15c; 10 lbs. $1.00.
HEMP SEED
This is a crop that deserves more attention. The
seed can be marketed with us. The fibre is in demand
in the eastern market. Pound, 15c; 7 lbs. $1.00.
SUNFLOWER— MAMMOTH RUSSIAN
The largest and most productive variety. It makes
one of the very best of foods for poultry ; a great
egg producer. % lb. 10c; lb. postpaid, 25c; 10 lbs.
$1.75. Postage extra.
WILD RICE — Zizania Aquatica
For Planting in Duck Ponds
For planting in duck ponds and round hunting
grounds to furnish food for wild fowl, ducks, geese,
etc. Seed can be sown on the borders of lakes, ponds
and small streams, and grows very rapidly in one to
four feet of water attracting all of these birds from
September on. It also purifies the water and affords
a refuge for small fry from large fish. Fresh seed
supplied in season. Pound 50c.
FLAX SEED
Farmers should not lose sight of the fact that flax
seed can be raised where wheat is raised and where
tried has brought better results for amount of labor
invested than wheat. Soon as ample supply is offered
there will be a greater demand. Thirty to forty pounds
will sow an acre. We have choice northern-grown seed.
Pound, 30c. Write for quantity price.
JERUSALEM CORN
It is pronounced the best and surest grain corn
for dry countries and seasons, even better than Kaffir
Corn, Dourha oir Milo Maize. It grows about 3 feet
high, makes one large head on main stock and several
smaller heads on side shoots ; have seen as high as
8 heads on one stalk. The grains are pure white and
nearly flat. Three pounds will plant one acre.
Pound 15c. Write for quantity price.
RED KAFFIR CORN
This grows taller than the white ; the stalks are
more slender and juicy and very leafy. The heads are
long, slender, compact and grow erect ; they measure
from one to two feet. The seed is red, smaller than
that of the white, and rather hard and brittle. It does
well on poor land and yields earlier than the white
variety, from 100 to 120 days, and yields much heavier.
It is highly recommended by the Kansas Agricultural
College at Manhattan.
Pound 10c. Write for quantity price.
FETERITA
Another non-saccharine from Sudan. It is an early
maturing, drought-resisting sorghum of considerable
value both for fodder and grain. It has produced a
crop where Jerusalem or Kaffir corn have failed. It
should be planted in hills or drills, when the ground
becomes warm, as it rots easily in cold ground.
Pound 15c. Write for quantity price.
BROOM CORN
Requires soil similar to corn, same cultivation, but
should be planted some later in the season. Put
ground in prime condition. We think that more of
western farmers should grow Broom Corn for market.
It is profitable. Frequently planted in drills 3 % feet
apart, leaving plants 6 inches apart ; 10 to 20 lbs. to
the acre.
IMPROVED EVERGREEN BROOM CORN
This Broom Corn grows 8 to 10 feet high, stands up
well ; is entirely free from crooked brush. The fibre
is long and fine. Its great value is that it will not
go red in the field before it is cut, but is strictly a
green variety of brush, commanding high price.
Pound, 15c.
THE OKLAHOMA BROOM CORN
Originated in Oklahoma. Most valuable strain grown
there and in the southwest. Quite distinct from all
others in earliness, robust habit and extreme produc-
tiveness ; brush long and well fibered and is a drought
resister. Averages 5 feet in height. Seed may be
left to ripen on brush without injury to latter, remov-
ing danger of heating from immature seed in bins.
Stalks make excellent fodder if cut at once after brush
is pulled. 10 lbs. $1.25.
MILO MAIZE
This is one of the sorghums similar to Kaffir Corn.
Grows erect, with thick, close-jointed stalk. Height,
4 to 9 feet. Heads are very large, giving a heavy
grain yield ; is drought resistant, and succeeds on
alkali soil. Plant late, when ground is warm, 3 to 6
lbs. per acre. Pound, postpaid, 20c; 100 lbs. $7.00.
VETCHES OR TARES— Vicia Sativa
(Common or Spring, Greatest Forage Plant)
One of the best forage plants that can be grown
on the Pacific Coast. This is a species of the pea,
grown very extensively in western Oregon and Wash-

SOW CANADA PEAS FOR HOGS
ington, especially in the Willamette Valley and on i
the Oregon Coast. It furnishes an abundance of ex-
cellent feed, either green or cut and cured for hay.
The seed should be mixed with an equal weight of
some variety of wheat, oats or rye having a stiff straw,
and the mixture sown at the rate of two bushels per
acre. Vetch weighs 70 lbs. per bushel. Sow in the
early spring. Per lb. 15c; 100 lbs. $10.00.
VETCHES — Vicia Villosa (Sand or Winter)
This variety thrives in poor, arid, sandy soils. It
is sown either in the fall or early spring, and is gen-
erally mixed with rye, which serves to support the
plants. It grows to a height of three or four feet and
can be cut twice; first as soon as the bloom appears,
and afterward for seed. The plant is perfectly hardy
and makes a very nutritious food. Per lb. 35c; 100
lbs. $27.50. Write for quantity price.
PEANUTS
The peanut is grown in this locality and does well
if properly taken care of. Should be planted about
April 15th and may be in hills about 3 feet apart
each way. Seed may be hulled or in pod. Per lb. 30c;
2 lbs. 50c.
FIELD BEANS— WHITE NAVY
The standard white bean, of medium size. Plant in
drills, so as to cultivate with a horse ; 25 to 30 pounds
is enough for an acre.
Pound 25c. Write for quantity price.
Our Idaho Bean. See description on page 2.
McADOO PEAS
(Formerly known as the Kaiser)
A medium early variety which grows well under
either dry or irrigated conditions. Makes a fairly rank
growth depending largely upon the supply of moisture.
A hardy variety that will withstand a high tempera-
ture and droughty conditions. The peas are gray to
orange in color, with purple spots, and are deeply
indented. Plant as early as possible. They will stand
reasonable frost and have yielded as high as 55 bushels
per acre on irrigated land, and are especially adapted
for tracts available for hogging off. Per lb. 15c, pre-
paid. Get our quantity price.
CANADA FIELD PEAS
Peas are a legume or nitrogen gathering plant, and
should be grown more extensively in this section. They
should be sown or drilled as soon as the ground can
be worked in the spring, thus allowing them a good
start before the weather becomes hot and dry. They
may be sown with a nurse crop, about 60 pounds of
each, or if sown separately, 100 to 120 pounds to
the acre. In addition to enriching the ground, they
are splendid stock feed and may be harvested by ma-
chinery, or hogged off to good advantage.
If wanted for hay, they should be cut while the sup-
ply of nutriment in milk is in the vine, forming the
pod, cut and cured like hay. This makes the finest
of hay for dairy stock, in fact all stock relish this
hay. Be sure to plant early. Try some of these the
coming season. Price, single pound, 15c per lb., post-
paid. Get our prices in quantity.
EARLY SOJA BEANS
Coffee Berry, also called Soy Beans
Soja Beans are drought-resistant ; much more so than
cow peas, but will not do as well as them on poor
ground. The berries ripen in about 3 to 4 months
from the time of planting and produce a crop of 20
to 40 bushels per acre, and are as easily grown as
other beans. One bushel of Soja Beans is at least
twice as valuable as corn for feeding purposes. When
roasted and ground it closely resembles coffee and
tastes quite similar.
Its great value to the farmer lies in the fact that
when ground it makes one of the most valuable
crops for feeding stock and adds greatly to the milk
production. Being a rich, nitrogenous feed, it is un-
surpased as a fleshformer, and like the clovers is a
soil improver, deriving its nitrogen from the air.
Sow in drills 2 or 3 feet apart and 1 foot between
plants, 30 to 40 lbs will sow one acre. Do not cover
more than 1 to 1*4 inches deep. lb. 15c; lb. 25c;
10 lbs. $1.50. Write for price list for quantity.
SUDAN GRASS
A new forage crops of great value to the west.
Sudan grass was introduced into the U. S. in 1909
from Sudan, and the results were very promising sc
that plans were immediately made for testing it out
over the U. S. As a result of these tests the Depart-
ment of Agriculture reports that Sudan grass will
be of great value, especially in Texas, Oklahoma, Colo-
rado and other western states that are deficient in
rainfall. This grass has all the good qualities of
Johnson Grass and yet does not have the one objection-
able feature, this is the root stocks by which the John-
son Grass spreads from year to year and becomes a
pest and a menace to surrounding fields. Sudan Grass
is strictly an annual and dies each year like millet.
The stems are very small and are rarely thicker than
a lead pencil. The plant stools wonderfully, and pro-
duces, under favorable conditions, as many as one
hundred stalks from a single root. The grass yields a
good crop of first-class hay ; all stock relish and thrive
on it.
This grass will mature in from 70 to 80 days, but
should have longer time to get the best results as to
tonnage. It is best grown in rows as near together
as can be cultivated conveniently, in which case two
or three pounds to the acre of good seed is sufficient.
If sown broadcast, 15 to 25 pounds are required. Write
us for prices on Sudan grass in large or small quan-
tity. Price, lb. 30c.

First on the Market — First in Quality
— First in Results
BLATCHFORD’S Calf Meal is the original milk • substitute. It was the first on the
market. For over one-third of a century it has been successfully used in raising calves
by the most progressive farmers and dairymen in this country. It is the only calf meal
backed by so remarkable a record.
Its success is due to three things.
First— its quality. Blatchford’s is above
all a quality calf meal. Only the best
materials are used in its manufacture. It
contains no waste materials or by-
products of low feeding value. Second—
it contains all the nutritive and growth -
producing properties required by the calf.
The finest and healthiest of calves can be
raised upon it. Third — it is economical.
One pound makes a full gallon of pure
milk-substitute and it can be used at less
than half the cost of using milk.
Blatchford’s Calf Meal raises calves
from babyhood. It is extremely palat-
able. It is easy to feed. It saves both
milk and money. It will pay you to use it.
Sold in 100-, 50- and 25-pound bags.
Satisfaction guaranteed with every bag.
MILK MASH
Should be Every Chick’s
First Feed
BLATCHFORD’S Milk Mash is the favored start-
ing and growing feed of the most prominent
poultry-raisers in the country. It contains all
the feeds and nutriment chicks need right from the
start. It shields them
from white diarrhea,
bowel trouble and leg
weakness.
This mash is neither
a tonic nor a medicine
but a nutritious, whole-
some, palatable body-
builder. It promotes
health, vitality and
growth by building up
sturdy, disease -resis-
tant frames.
It does not force, but,
by supplying proper
nourishment to each
and every part of the
body, it promotes
steady ana complete
development in the
shortest possible time.
Blatchford’s Milk
Mash contains no
screenings, hulls or cheap by-products from the
manufacture of breakfast foods, cereal foods or
scratch grains. It carries chicks all the way— starts,
grows and matures — without change of feed.
214 lbs. at 8 weeks!

LAMB MEAL
Weans Lambs Quickly
Makes Sturdy Youngsters
THIS nourishing milk-equal weans lambs prop-
erly and produces rapid growth. It is easily
assimilated by the tender stomach of the young
lamb. It contains all the elements found in nat-
ural milk, including oil, sugar and albuminous
compounds in correct proportions and in the most
digestible form for lambs.
Lambs of every breed can be raised upon it. It
matures them rapidly, prevents scours, and avoids
the usual setback in the change from the ewe’s milk
to ordinary feed. It successfully solves the problem
of what to do with orphan lambs.
Sold in 100- , 50- and25-pound
bags. Guaranteed satisfactory.
