“Golden Giant Sweet Corn is a vast improvement on the popular Golden Bantam.” — Rural New Yorker.
Auburn, Maine, November, 1921.
Your Thousand Dollar Musk Melon is the best melon I ever saw, very meaty and the finest flavor.
Grew some that weighed 14 fibs, and they were just as good as those that weighed 5 to 8 pounds.
W. P. Jones.
From an Article in the Maine Farmer of April 28, 1921, by Dr. Twitchell: —
“No man can afford to use seed, the purity, vitality and quality of which is not fully established. The
question with me, is not price but quality. For over 20 years I have had all garden seed from the Pine
Tree State Seed Co., Bath, Maine, because I found I could rely on it. How much this means cannot be
realized until one takes account of the failures.”

BOBOLINK POLE BEANS
BEST ON EARTH
If you want the very best, most tender and de-
licious “String Beans,” raise the Bobolink. The
best pole bean for northern planting, extremely
early and very prolific,' the vines bearing long,
flat, meaty pods, entirely free from strings or
fiber, a rich, light green color, very attractive,
most excellent quality, the very best of all the
pole beans. Plant enough to can — they are de-
licious. This splendid variety is soon bound
to be the most popular Pole Bean grown. In
many respects they surpass anything we know
of. The pods retain their stringless and tender
qualities until they are almost ripe. They are
hardy, easily grown and enormously productive.

Monmouth, Me., Feb. 1st, 1921.
Pine Tree State Seed Co.,
W. R. Kimball, Mgr.
My dear Mr. Kimball: — The years but confirm my
judgment regarding the superiority of your Bobolink
Pole Beans. Selecting my seed from the pods at the
top of the pole, I find that the season for maturity has
been shortened so that the past year they were ready
for the table three days after the first picking of my
earliest bush Wax. Growth is rapid and abundant,
yield heavy and quality beyond anything I ever raised.
Twenty years’ reliance on your goods justifies a
strong word of commendation — my best wishes are
with you. Sincerely,
G. M. TWITCHELL.
A GRAND MELON FOR NEW ENGLAND
Metcalf’s “Thousand Dollar” Musk Melon
This melon has been grown by Mr. Metcalf of
Cumberland County for over twenty years, of whom
we secured a small supply of seed.
The following is his description:
“More than 20 years ago, a horticultural friend
told me he had been talking with a man interested i,
gardening who told him of a superior variety o
Musk Melon he was growing. Soon after he gave
him a ¥ew of the seeds; these he divided with me
We both planted them the next season with gr
success. After they had ripened I called at the home
of my friend one evening. When he brought in a
nice looking melon and opened it, as he did so, its
fine appearance and delightful odor caused him to
exclaim: “Ah! That’s worth a thousand dollars.”
Since then it has been known as the Thousand Dol-
lar Melon. I have continued to plant this variety
every year since, saving seeds from the best and
first to ripen each year and know of no other va-
riety any better or will ripen as early.”
The Melons average two to six pounds.
Price per packet, 15c.

largest number of these pumpkins from ONE seed we will present each with an attractive Silver Premium.

FARM

on the farm which is one of the finest in this section
of New England. — From Bath Daily Times, Oct. 7,

Use WIZARD-The Ideal
Fertilizer for Every Crop
Ask any gardener and he’ll tell you there’s
nothing better than sheep manure for mak-
ing things grow. That’s all that WIZARD
is — just sheep manure, the very best from
Western sheep feeding stations, made easy
to handle by sterilizing, drying, screening
and grinding. There’s the equivalent of a
whole wagon-load of stable manure in
every bag.
Easy and Safe to Use
Every weed seed is killed. Perfectly safe
for any kind of gardening or landscape
work. Far better than a chemical stimu-
lant because WIZARD is a natural fertiliz-
er that supplies the soil with both plant
food and humus in the ideal form for Na-
ture to work with. Use WIZARD once for
flower or vegetable gardens, or for lawn
making, and you’ll never plant without it.
The results it gives, its convenience make
it the choice of thousands for every fer-
tilizer use from a potted plant to a field of
any size. Packed in all sizes ready to use.

PARAGON SPRAYER
These Sprayers are strongly constructed and can be
easily operated by one man. They can be brought in
close proximity to the work, thereby eliminating the
use of a long, expensive hose. Our patented, self-
cleaning strainer prevents the necessity of first strain-
ing the liquid to be sprayed. The agitator also keeps
the liquid thoroughly stirred.
The reservoir is made of heavy galvanized iron. All
essential fittings and valves are made of brass, mak-
ing it strong and durable. The body of pump is cast
iron, well ribbed to prevent breakage. The screen is
of heavy perforated brass and will last many years.
The pump frame can easily be removed from tank when
it needs cleaning and by running water through ma-
chine after using, the entire machinery can be easily
and thoroughly cleaned.
Suitable for spraying Insecticides and Fungicides on
