Grove Park Evergreen Lawn Grass

In the South we often have trouble in getting
good lawns, because it has been found that no
one grass will give satisfactory results at all
seasons and on all soils. By careful experiment,
we have succeeded in getting a combination of
grasses that will produce an evergreen lawn.
Each variety of grass in the Grove Park Ever-

Shady Park

Few grasses grow well in shaded portions of
lawns or groves, hence it is necessary to sow a
mixture of grasses which are adapted for grow-
ing in the shade. Our Shady Park Mixture pro-

How to Secure a

THE PREPARATION OF THE SEED BED—

All weeds, roots, and other debris should be re-
moved and the soil stirred thoroughly to the
depth of eight or ten inches. Of course large
areas can only be plowed and disked ; however,
small lawns should be spaded and pulverized like
garden soil prepared for the reception of small
seed.

FERTILIZATION — Grass seed send out long
feeding roots which absorb a large quantity of
plant food in making heavy green turf. It is
necessary to mix fertilizer to the depth of eight
or ten inches to supply this plant food. The
class of fertilizer used will have a direct bearing
on the finished lawn. To avoid numerous noxious
weeds that always come by the use of fresh
manure, we advise fertilizing your lawn with
Pulverized Sheep Manure, a natural fertilizer,
free from all weed seed. Ground Bone Meal is
also valuable as an enricher of lawns and a top
dressing. Bone Meal or Sheep Manure or a mix-
ture, half of each, should be applied at the rate
of 30Ibs. for 300 square feet, or 1,000 lbs. for
an acre. As a top dressing 500 lbs. for an acre
or 15 lbs. to 300 square feet.

Ants which frequently infest lawns can easily
be driven off by the use of Tobacco Dust which
is also a good fertilizer. See page 49.

green Lawn serves a special purpose, some being
selected for their color values, others for their
growing habits, and still others for their hardi-
ness ; all of these varieties blended together pro-
duce the coveted thick turf and velvet appearance.

LIMING THE SOIL — The soil in this section
is lacking in lime and blue grass particularly
requires lime. We recommend the use of Agri-
culture Lime at the rate of 100 lbs. to 300
square feet or 4 to 5 tons to the acre. It is
best to apply lime in the winter or early spring
but not within three months of applying fertili-
zer.

SOWING THE SEED — For spring sowing. Lawn
Grass Seed should be sown as early as possible,
from February to May, or if in the fall, from
September to the last of November. Many people
follow the practice of sowing lawn grass seed
on top of snow with very great success. As the
snow melts the seed is carried to the proper
depth. Thick seeding gives the best results. It
should be sown at the rate of one pound to 300
square feet or 100 pounds to an acre. The seed
should be carefully and evenly sown, lightly raked
in, and afterwards, provided the soil is not too
wet, rolled or made firm by patting down with the
back of a spade. This packing brings the seed
in close contact with the soil and prevents dry-
ing out ; it also gives a quicker and a more even
germination.

Lawns should not be neglected. The grass
should be kept cut and watered in dry weather.
Bare spots must be re-seeded if the lawn is to
present a velvety appearance.

TO OUR CUSTOMERS:

In presenting our 1923 catalogue, we wish to thank the many customers who have con-
tributed to the growth of our business ; and that have made it possible for us to offer at all
times, the very best grade seeds at the very lowest market price.

We earnestly solicit the orders of those, who have never been our customers. We know
that you will be more than pleased with the merchandise we have to offer and it will give
us great pleasure to serve you.

We realize fully the responsibility you must place on us when ordering seed ; and for
this reason we purchase nothing but the very best seeds from the best growers. These seeds
are thoroughly tested by us and by the seed test department at Raleigh. Each bag of field
seed sent out by us bears a tag showing the purity and germination and the name of the seed.
Examine the tag and the seed carefully before sowing to see that you received just what
you purchased. Each package of vegetable and flower seed is marked with the kind of seed
it contains. Examine the name and contents carefully and if you find that you have not
received what you ordered, return at once and your money will be refunded.

We have the utmost confidence in all the seeds we have to offer and it should be apparent
to the most skeptical that we could not afford to send out inferior seeds ; as there would be
no surer way of destroying our business. As we have no control of seeds after they leave
our hands and as weather conditions, methods of planting, cultivating and fertilizing, play such
an important part in the out turn of any crop, the Asheville Seed Company give no warranty,
expressed or implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or any other matter of any
seeds, bulbs or plants they send out and they 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.

We sincerely hope that you may have a successful crop the coming season.

Most Cordially Yours,

ASHEVILLE SEED COMPANY

Suggestions to Customers

As to Ordering

DO NOT DELAY ORDERING until you are ready to use the goods you want. It will
prove economical often to anticipate your wants. The loss of time in planting by delays of
transportation companies, also advance in prices should show the wise buyer that it is to his
interest to order early.

SAVE MONEY — When you make out your general list of seed, include insecticides and
sprayers ; also Fertilizers with your order, thereby you will save extra express charges. Re-
member, when the bugs or insects appear on your crop, you need insecticide; then delay in
getting the remedy and sprayers may cost you ten times the cost of your purchase.

HOW TO SEND AN ORDER — You will find in the front and back of this book a pink
order sheet, perforated for tearing out ; also an addressed envelope to send the order in. When
convenient, always use this order sheet. Please do not write anything on the sheet except
items wanted and what pertains to the order. Write on seperate sheet asking for prices, or
questions to be answered, or information given ; this will avoid the possibility of being over-
looked ; also insure quick attention to information asked.

Please be careful to sign your name, post office, county and State on each order and letter
sent us.

TERMS — All orders to secure prompt shipment should be accompanied with the cash. We
can only send to well-rated merchants, or parties well known to us without the cash with
order. When remittance falls short of amount of goods ordered, it is our custom to reduce the
quantity sent, instead of delaying order by writing.

HOW TO SEND MONEY — By Postoffice or Express Money Order, Bank Check or Draft,
cash by registered letter. We accept clean postage stamps for small amounts the same as cash.

C. O. D. ORDERS must be accompanied by a remittance equal to one-fourth the amount

High

Quality Vegetable Seeds

Asparagus

Asparagus grows well in practically any good
soil, but a well enriched, deeply pulverized, sandy
loam brings the best results. It may be grown
from seeds or roots ; by planting roots 1 to 2 years
may be saved. A well cared for Asparagus bed im-
proves with age and yields the first green delicacy
for the table in large quantities each year. The
home gardener should not be without a bed of
this most delicious vegetable.

ROOT CULTURE — The home gardener will find
growing Asparagus from roots much easier, and
cuttings may be had at least a year sooner. Pre-
pare trenches 3 ft. apart and about 18 inches
deep ; fill with a liberal quantity of well rotted
manure ; after covering the manure with a few
inches of dirt, set the plants 1% feet apart in
each trench ; 4-inch covering of good soil is then
added. Do not exhaust the plants by cutting too
late, especially the first bearing season.

100 roots plant 15 ft. by 20 ft.

Culture of Seed — Sow the seed thinly in rows 1
foot apart in April or May. To secure strong
healthy plants keep down all weeds and thin the
poorest seedlings to 3 inches apart in each row.
The roots may be dug either the first or second
year in the fall after the plants die, and set either
in the fall or spring, as described under “Root
Culture.”

PALMETTO ASPARAGUS— It is truly a very
superior strain of Asparagus, being a more con-
tinuous and earlier bearer of uniformly large,
thick, green shoots with a distinctly pointed tip.
It is delicious in flavor, extremely tender, and an
abundant yielder. Palmetto is well adapted for
all sections of the country.

Postpaid — Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 30c; lb. 90c.

BARR’S MAMMOTH ASPARAGUS— The large
stalks of Barr’s Mammoth are sometimes an inch
in diameter, and retain their thickness complete-
ly to the top and have close round heads. It is
extremely hardy, quick growing, sweet and tender.

Postpaid — Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 25c; lb. 75c.

Price of roots given below in schedule.

CONOVER’S COLOSSAL — This variety is iden-
tical with the famous giant Argenteuil of France.
It is a large stalked strain which has met with
special favor on account of its thick, green stalks
of excellent flavor and tenderness.

Postpaid — Pkt. 5c ; oz. 10c ; 141b. 25c; lb. 75c.
Two-year-old Asparagus Roots will bear the first
year ; set in fall or spring.

Price list Asparagus Roots.

Fifteen inches long, blade 1% inches wide.

50c each. If by mail, postpaid, 55c each.

Green Globe Artichoke Seed

The Green Globe Artichoke is cultivated for its
flower heads, which are cooked like Asparagus.
Sow the seed in hot beds during February and
transplant in May into rows three feet apart and
two feet in the rows. The seeds may be sown in
the open during the month of April, and then the
stand thinned. Artichoke requires a deep, rich,
sandy loam with plenty of well rotted manure.
When cold weather comes protect the plants with
a heavy covering of leaves or manure. If prop-
erly cared for, the plants will bear for several
years. An ounce plants 40 feet of drill.

Postpaid — Pkt. 10c; oz. 75c; % lb. $2.50.

Broccoli

Broccoli is hardier and easier to grow than Cau-
liflower. It is a delicious vegetable for boiling
and is largely used for pickling. Cultivate like
cabbage, setting the plants during June in rich
soil. One ounce of seed produces 2,000 plants.

PURPLE CAPE — An excellent large-headed
variety.

Postpaid — Pkt. 5c; oz. 35c; % lb. $1.25; lb. $4.75.

Brussels Sprouts

The sprouts re-
semble miniature
cabbage, growing
closely to stalk of
the plant, being
produced in abund-
ance from the tip
to the ground. Are
extremely hardy
and live through
the winter without pro-
tection, frost improving
the quality and flavor of
the sprouts which are
highly esteemed for boil-
ing during late fall and
winter months. Sow seed
during May in drills ;
when plants are 6 inche-s
high, transplant into rows
3 feet apart and 18 inches
apart in the row, and
cultivate like cabbage.

PERFECTION—

Plants 2 feet tall,
and stem thickly
set with sprouts 2
inches in diameter and of excellent quality.

Postpaid — Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c ; lb. 60c; lb. $2.10.

Sprouts.

When ordering your garden seed, be sure
to order the fertilizer best adapted for your
garden. We would suggest that you give the
land a good coating of ground limestone to
sweeten the soil. See page 48.

Be sure to order your insecticides with your
general seed order. By spraying early and
often you will save money and your crop.

See page 49-50.

DWARF OR BUSH (Snap) BEANS

BURPEE’S STRINGLESS GREEN POD

One pound will plant 60 feet of drill ; 100
pounds to an acre in drills.

Culture — Beans are very sensitive to both
cold and wet. For the earliest crop, plant
just as soon as the weather gets warm — in
this section about the first of April. To have
a succession, plant every two weeks through-
out the summer until the middle of August.

should have frequent shallow cultivation.

Extra Early Red Valentine

A standard variety, extra early in matur-
ing, and bears pods which are round, long,
slightly curved and of excellent quality. The
extreme hardiness of this bean accounts for
its popularity in this section as the first early

ground when other sorts fail. Our improved
strain of this excellent variety has been select-
ed especially for earliness and good quality.

Pole or Cornfield Beans

Cultrure — Pole Beans are not so hardy as bunch
beans, and in this latitude plant about the first
of May or after the danger from frost is over, in
rows 4 feet apart ; set poles 6 to 8 feet long, 3 to
4 feet apart in the row ; drop 5 to 6 beans 2 inches
deep around each pole or hill. These varieties
may also be planted in the cornfield to run up the
stalk.

Cornfield beans are much more troublesome to
grow than bush beans, but it pays better to grow
them as the beans are of a much better quality
and they bear longer and more profusely.

We handle only the better varieties of these
beans and those best adapted to this locality.

Select Lima Beans

PLANT MORE LIMA BEANS FOR BOILING, BAKING AND CANNING.

While Lima Beans are rapidly growing in popu-
larity, this excellent table food is still not grown
so extensively as it merits. Lima Beans have a
rich and delicate flavor that is not found in other
types of beans, and for this reason are unex-
celled for baking, boiling, or canning. They are
largely used as green beans cooked either alone
or with sugar corn. As a dried bean they keep

as well as other types in any climate and are
more nutritious food than the latter.

No Lima Beans should be planted until the
ground is warm and all danger of frost is over.
The germination of practically all limas is not
as high as ordinary beans, hence a liberal plant-
ing is necessary and cheaper in the end.

Dwarf or Bosh Lima Beans

Tall or Pole Lima Beans

Bush Limas are planted for early crop, since
they come into bearing much sooner than pole
varieties . The dwarf varieties are not as pro-
lific as the pole lima beans, but they produce a
good crop of equal quality and are not so diffi-
cult to grow ; always plant the eyes down dropping
3 beans 15 inches apart in rows 3 feet apart. The
beans should be covered from 1% to 2 inches
deep. One pound will plant 60 hills, 60 pounds
to the acre.

“BURPEE’S IMPROVED BUSH LIMA”— The
pods are truly enormous in size, borne abundant-
ly and well-filled with handsome beans which are
both larger and thicker than those of the popu-
lar Burpee’s Bush, and fully 8 days earlier. The
bushes when full grown are 30 inches high and
24 inches in diameter. The beautiful pods meas-
ure 5 to 6 inches long and are borne in clusters
of 4 or 5 pods. The beans are of first quality.

FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA— This is without a
doubt the best type of bush lima bean in cul-
tivation. It grows upright and does not come in
contact with ground. The vigorous plants bear
pods in clusters, each pod containing 4 to 5 large,
thick beautiful green beans. No other variety
can compare in quality with the sweet and ten-
der Fordhook. Matures very early and continues
bearing until frost.

HENDERSON’S BUSH LIMA— Pods short and
flat, delicious flavor. The earliest of bush limas ;
two weeks earlier than any of the pole varieties.
It is small in size, but the great productiveness
and delicious flavor of Henderson’s Bush Limas
has made it a favorite of good housekeepers. An
excellent sort for canning.

One pound will plant 100 hills ; 30 pounds to
the acre.

All prices in this catalogue are subject to
change without notice. Orders will be filled at
lowest prevailing price the day received.

Plant 3 or 4 beans to the hills 3 feet apart in
3 or 4 foot rows. It is necessary to provide poles
6 to 8 feet long for each hill. The beans will
make a very rapid growth if a small shovel full
of well rotted cow manure is added to each hill
when the poles are set. All pole limas are exceed-
ingly prolific and are preferred by truck garden-
ers. One pound will plant 60 hills ; 60 pounds
to the acre.

KING OF THE GARDEN POLE LIMA— An im-
proved strain of large white, of more prolific char-
acter and with larger pods and beans. Large early

CARPENTERIA LIMA, LARGE GREEN
SEEDED — This is the highest standard in pole
lima quality ; many expert growers claim that Car-
penteria is “the most perfect pole lima bean.”
The exceptionally fine quality of this strain is
shown in the beautiful green tint of the large,
handsome beans which fill the rich colored and
attractive pods. The velvety green tint remains
long after the bean becomes dry, which proves that
the exceptional quality endures. Our strain of
Carpenteria produces strong vigorous vines which
send out many runners to bear great quantities
of elegant pods, each containing four large
beans. The beans are thin skinned, extremely ten-
der and of fine flavor.

Garden or Table Beets

Culture — Beets thrive best in rather light, mel-
low and deep-worked soil, which has been thorough-
ly enriched with well-rotted manure or fertilizer,

30 hills; 3 lbs. for 1
acre.

The watermelon seed
we offer is Southern
Grown and far super-
ior (contrary to the
general rule in seed),

poultry droppings ;
rich soil gives the
plants a good start
before insects attack
them. Make hills 8

feet apart each way, plant 6 to 8 seeds to a hill,
covering 1 inch deep ; when well up thin out,
leaving three strong plants to a hill.

NOTE — Do not neglect to spray your melon
vines with Bordo Mixture, it will help to in-
crease the yield and prevent diseases that often
destroy the melon crop in the South. See page 51

private gardener. The heart is large with no
sign of core. The seeds are brown tipped with
white. Our seeds are Southern grown, which
are the best.

Pure Bred Pumpkin Seed

One ounce will plant 25 hills ; 2 to 3 lbs. to acre.

Pumpkins are rapidly growing in favor through-
out the South. The larger and coarser sorts make
excellent stock food, while the majority of the
sorts make excellent pies and are also used in a
number of other ways.

Pumpkins may be planted most any time during
spring and early autumn in hills 10 to 12 feet
apart among corn rows, or in the open. They pro-
duce the best crops in deep loam, but are not
particular about the soil, if the same has been
well fertilized. Potash in some form is essential
to their fullest development.

The pumpkin seed listed in this catalogue should
not be compared with ordinary field stocks with
no identity gathered up here and there. Our
stocks have been as carefully grown and selected
as the most sensitive garden or flower seed, and
we have priced them at the lowest possible figure.

KENTUCKY FIELD — A very popular Southern
sort ; large and flattened. A wonderful keeper ; a
good stock variety ; also a valuable eating and
pie sort. Skin mottled light green and yellow
changing to a creamy yellow when they ma-

CANDY ROASTER— This variety,
as well as we know, is being grown
exclusively in Western North Caro-
lina. It is a hybrid between the
Pumpkin and Winter Squash. The
meat has a sweeter flavor than
either. When first stewed, then
put in a pan, putting spice and
sugar on it and baking or roasting,
it has the flavor of “candied” sweet
potatoes. It is also often cut up in
small pieces and put in the stove
and baked or roasted. After sprink-
ling sugar over it the rind has a
brownish-gray color, sometimes
mixed with the orange yellow. Seeds
are large, with a polish and hard
surface.

must be cultivated often and thoroughly,
as it is very important to mature the crop
quickly, to retain their crisp, tender quali-
ty.

This is a very important crop in our market
gardens, and is one of the most easily managed
of all vegetables, requiring but little culture,

The main crop is sown in September but for
summer use it may be sown at intervals of
2 or 3 weeks from April to August. The fall
sowings should be covered, when in exposed places,
only with straw or litter during the winter to
prevent frosting. Spinach is most tender and
sweet when grown in rich soil ; it finds a ready

Choice Tomato Seed

One ounce of seed will produce about 2,000
plants.

Culture — For early use, sow in February or
March, in a hot-bed or in boxes, which should
be placed near a window. When the seedling are
about 2 inches high, transplant in 2 or 3-inch pots,
or in rows 4 to 5 inches apart, keeping the tem-
perature at about 60 degrees. Subsequent trans-
planting will make the plants stockly and strong.
Do not set them in the open ground until all
danger from frost is past. Then plant into a
warm, sunny location, 3 feet apart each way, and
water freely until they are well established.

No vegetable occupies the prominence and in-
finite care, selection, etc., in the seedman’s time
and business as the tomato. The strains and se-
lections of the country in which the seed crops are
grown have so much to do with the general qual-
ity of the crop that the growing of tomato seed
must be done with the greatest care. With this
in view, we spare no expense in having our seed
produced under the supervision and care of ex-
perts in this line. You cannot buy a better seed
at any price.

Summer-Flowering Bulbs and Roots

There is nothing in floriculture which, to the
amateur will be attended with as great satis-
faction or give as grand results, as the cultiva-
tion of this class of flowering plants. Set out in
early spring, they bloom all summer. No matter
if planted solely to beautify the home grounds
or cultivated by the small boy as his first step to
profitable floriculture, the returns will be equally
gratifying. They are of easiest culture, inexpen-
sive, and require scarcely any care. Most of these
bulbs should be taken up before severe frost and
stored away in a frost-proof cellar, if possible in
dry sand, to preserve for replanting the follow-
ing spring.

PEONIES

Peonies may be planted in spring as soon as
the frost is out of the ground. But only two or
three inches of soil over the crown, deep plant-
ing is often cause of shy blooming. Do not

transplant for at least five years. We have large
clumps in the following colors : Red, Pink and
White, 40c each ; 3 for $1.15 postpaid.

Selected Flower Seed

General Cultural Directions for Flower Seeds —

Most flower seeds germinate well in a rather light
sandy loam, exposed to the sun, while a few are
benefitted by partial shade, and some do best with
an element of clay finely mixed with the soil.
Nearly all hardy seeds vegetate better when
planted in early spring as soon as the soil can be
worked fairly and easily and has become warm.

A general rule for the seed-bed is to have the
soil rich, level and worked finely. 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.

After the seeds are up, care must be taken to
give them plenty of air and moisture, and yet
not too much water, or they will “damp-off” (rot
at the top of the ground). As soon as the second
leaves are well out, the seedlings should be put
into pots or new boxes. When finally transplant-
ed to the bed or border, water frequently until
established.

THE ORIGINAL

BUTTERMILK STARTING FEED

Raises Husky Chicks

A Ready Prepared Mash for baby chicks and all self -feeding young fowls. This remark-
able feed— originated by Conkey and prepared through processes controlled and used
exclusively by Conkey is a complete ration — containing all the elements needed for
safely starting baby chicks, ducklings, goslings, poults, guineas, pheasants, etc.

fant food.’

HIS superior chick mash was the
first commercial poultry feed con-
taining buttermilk — that is why
we call it the only ORIGINAL
buttermilk starting feed.

Conkey’s did not “just happen”
• — it is a scientifically-balanced feed
as clean and wholesome and as
conscientiously-prepared as “in-
Selected, plump grains, ground to

. _ s, gr

proper fineness, are combined with other ingre-
dients so as to make the feed readily digestible,
palatable and nutritious. TASTE it, SMELL it,
that’s the way to judge a chick feed.

Conkey’s carries buttermilk in just the right
proportion as an aid in prevention of bowel
troubles. White Diarrhea, “leg weakness,” etc.
The buttermilk is Semi-Solid buttermilk, blended
with the other ingredients by the ORIGINAL
process in such a way as to preserve the appe-
tizing, tonic, and other properties of the newly-
churned product.

The moisture in the buttermilk is drawn off
by the exclusive Conkey process in such a way
as not to subject it to the terrific heat usually
required in “drying” buttermilk.

Lactic acid in buttermilk is described as an
“Intestinal broom” which sweeps away un-
friendly bacteria and disease germs in the deli-
cate digestive tract. Buttermilk is also rich in
one cf the vitamines necessary to growing
birds. It is a wonderful appetizer, aid to di-
gestion and flesh builder.

However, it is not the buttermilk nor the other
Ingredients alone that causes people to declare
that their chicks grow twice as fast on Conkey’s.

GUARANTEED ANALYSIS
Crude Protein, 12%; Crude Fibre,

Extract, 56%; Carbohydrates, 60%.

Ingredients

Semi-Solid Buttermilk, pinhead
oatmeal, a special wheat middlings
whole corn meal, corn feed meal
and granulated bone.

It is not the buttermilk alone that protects the
chicks from disease during the first critical eight
weeks. The secret is in the combination of these
materials by the Conkey method — the balancing
of the ration, as Conkey alone knows how.

Don’t be influenced by “cheaper” imitations
labeled “buttermilk” — that word may be used
to deceive unwary buyers — to cover up a mul-
titude of “sinful” grains, mill sweepings, pois-
onous weed seeds, musty screenings, worthless
by-products, or other poor material having little
or no nutritive value.

Conkey’s is so palatable that one poultrymara
said it ought to be used for “breakfast food,"’
One woman wrote : “My chicks just love Conkey’s.
It is so tasty, and my, how they do grow 1 Better
still, we didn’t have a single loss in the present
hatch, no White Diarrhea or other bowel troubles
like before we began using Conkey’s.”

FEED IT FIRST 8 WEEKS

Conkey’s is all the chicks need the first eight weeks except greens, charcoal, grit,
clean water and some fine scratch grains in the litter for exercise. Give grit and water
from the start. During the second week add green stuff and in the fourth week finely

THE

BUTTERMILK GROWINC^MASH

This mash — second link in the Conkey
^ Chain — is fed after the chicks are eight weeks

N old. It is balanced for rapid and even devel-

opment of muscles, bone, vital organs and
feathers. Like all Conkey mashes it is low
in fibre, clean and always uniform.

Raising chicks to healthy and profitable
maturity — this difficult problem is solved
by the Growing Mash. Just as the Starting
Feed is balanced to carry baby chicks safely
through the critical first eight weeks, so is the
Growing Mash a complete mash ration for
developing birds to maturity.

The Growing Mash differs materially from
the Starting Feed — meat scraps are added,
bone is increased, and com decreased — grow-
ing birds demand a heavier diet than delicate
baby chicks.

The UNBROKEN CHAIN system of feeding,
originated by Conkey — one mash for starting
chicks, one for developing, one for laying — teaches an invaluable
lesson in demonstrating the need of three different rations for most
economical poultry feeding.

THE

R I G I N A L

BUTTERMILK LAYING MASH

The third link in the Conkey Chain is
balanced fc>r a full egg basket. Low in fibre,
just right in protein for layers.

This mash was placed on the market in
response to an insistent demand for an hon-
estly prepared, egg-producing ration that
could always be depended upon to be clean
and uniform. This demand arose through
loss of egg production which is likely to follow
a change of ‘ balance” in feed — too many
egg mashes unfortunately are variable in
quality and therefore unreliable and costly
if not positively dangerous.

To produce eggs in abundance, the flock
must have a balanced ration consisting of a
dry mash and a good scratch grain mixture,
also a regular supply cf green stuff. Grains
alone are not a sufficient ration for laying
hens. Conkey’s Buttermilk Laying Mash is
made by Conkey’s ORIGINAL process. Fresh, Semi-Solid buttermilk
and other ingredients are blended so as to tempt the hen’s appetite,
thus increasing consumption cf dry mash so essential to large egg
production.

Insist on Conkey’s mashes — you can always depend on them.

Conkey feeds are always clean, wholesome and uniform.

SUPERB SPENCER SWEET PEAS

Sweet Peas

No flower has ever gained the popularity in so
short a time as the Sweet Pea. Its development
in the South has been much slower than other
sections, but it is now very firmly established,
and gaining rapidly from year to year. The great
drawback to its advancement in the South has
been through an improper knowledge of the habits
of the Sweet Pea. It is necessary for success
with this flower to carefully observe tried methods
of culture.

Culture for Sweet Peas — October to April have
been found the best months to plant Sweet Peas
in this section. ONE OUNCE SOWS 25 FEET
OF ROW; 1 POUND WILL PLANT ABOUT 400
FEET IN DRILLS. Would suggest that you have
your rows or drills if possible running north and
south. Plant in double rows 8 inches apart, 2%
feet between the double rows ; poles then could
be placed between the double rows and wires run
or poultry netting placed ; this would give sup-
port for two rows on trellis. If poultry netting
is used, use 4 to 5 ft. 2-in. mesh.

Dig rows 10 inches deep, put in 4 inches of well
rotted manure or prepared pulverized sheep ma-
nure and top soil well mixed. Plant seed on this
and cover with loose black loam 2 inches deep,
leaving the rows open, and fill in as the peas
crack through until you get to the surface of soil.

During dry weather they sould be watered
thoroughly and frequently, and given an applica-
tion of liquid manure once a week. When in
bloom flowers should be cut every day and put
in water. This will prevent the plants from go-

ing to seed, which would stop them from continu-
ing in bloom.

SUPERB SPENCER SWEET PEAS— A strain
of Sweet Peas developed from the old Grandiflora
type. It is sometimes known as the Orchid Flow-
ering Sweet Pea, and produces larger and more
fragrant flowers of greater brilliancy of color than
the old type. The long graceful stems usually
bear 4 to 5 blossoms of superior beauty. We offer
the following fancy Named Varieties of the
Spencer type and consider them unsurpassed in
both richness of color and beauty of form.

Asta Ohn — Pinkish lavender ; extra large flower.

Othello — Rich maroon ; the best of dark colored
spencers.

Sow “Cherokee Brand” Field Seeds

When you purchase “CHEROKEE BRAND” seed you purchase the very highest Quality seed that
money can buy ; and you can rest assured that you are not sowing weeds and paying for chaff.
This seed is all thoroughly recleaned and tested for purity and germination. The new “North Carolina
Seed Law” requires each merchant to place a tag on all seeds showing purity and germination. We
are glad of this law, as it is a protection to the merchants handling high grade seed. “CHEROKEE
BRAND” is the best. Before purchasing seeds be sure that they fill the State requirements. We
will be glad to mail you copy of Seed Law on request ; and also samples of any seeds you may desire.
The large quantities in which we handle field seeds enables us to quote you exceedingly low prices,
quality considered. The prices quoted herein are those prevailing during December. Write before
ordering for our latest price list.

High Grade Clover and Alfalfa Seed

Red Clover

“CHEROKEE BRAND” Clover Seed represents the
finest qualities that can be had, expertly recleaned and
tested for high purity and strong germination ; this
brand will always measure up to a superior standard of
quality. The so-called “competitive grades” of clovers
containing buckhorn, wild carrot, plantain, etc., are
lower in price. We do not handle these types.

Red Clover

This valuable crop is not only one of the most excellent
Hay and Forage Crops, but it is a great soil improver.
Red Clover can be cut two or three years from one
seeding, and on good land will yield two cuttings per
year. Red Clover has been found particularly adapted
to the northern part of the Cotton Belt ; when sown alone
in this section, 10 to 12 lbs. to an acre. Excellent results
are received by sowing for hay, a mixture of one bushel
of Orchard Grass, one bushel Tall Meadow Oat Grass
with eight pounds of Red Clover to an acre. If to be
used also for pasture, an addition of six pounds Red Top
or Herds Grass to the above mixture will increase the
pasturage.

Postpaid — Lb. 35c ; 10 lbs. $3.00 ; 30 lbs. $8.50.

Express — Lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.75; bushel about $16.00.

Mammoth or Sapling Clover

This is similar to Red Clover, both in appearance of the
seed and its habits of growth, the difference being that
it usually grows larger and is later in maturing. It is
considered superior as an improver on account of the
extra growth. It is a good variety for thin soils, or to
seed with Timothy, Meadow Fescue, Herds Grass, or
Red Top, as it matures about the same time as these
grasses. Sow 10 to 12 lbs. per acre by itself or with
Timothy. Six lbs. of Clover and 8 lbs. of Timothy wilL
give a liberal seeding.

Postpaid — Lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.25; 30 lbs. $9.00.

Express — Lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.00; bushel about $17.00.

Alsike Clover

Sixty pounds to the bushel. A valuable perennial clover, growth of fine texture, more spreading
and recumbent than red clover, matures later, has pinkish blossoms and does not make such large
roots, nor do they penetrate so deep into the soil. Notwithstanding, it seems to be hardier than red
clover, standing as much heat and decidedly more cold. Alsike Clover should be sown in the South
from August to March, the sooner the better. It seems to be well adapted to creek and river bottoms.
From 8 to 10 lbs. should give a good stand.

Postpaid — Lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.00; 30 lbs. $8.00. — Express — Lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.75; bushel, $15.00.

Alfalfa or Lucerne

The Profitable and Nutritious Hay Crop
ALFALFA or LUCERNE in the South will pro-
duce from 5 to 7 tons of hay an acre each year. It
enriches the soil. Its very large, branching roots
penetrate far down, loosening the soil, getting
plant food where other crops would be a failure.
Alfalfa is a perennial, and lasts for 8 to 10 years.
Sow seeds in thoroughly prepared soil at the rate
of 20 lbs. to the acre. Before sowing the seed it
will be best to inoculate them, if alfalfa has never
been grown on the soil you are to sow.

The old belief that Alfalfa cannot be grown in
this section is gradually being overcome. We
know of a great many fields that are yielding
three cuttings of most nutritious feed every year.
The success of this feed depends largely upon the
kind of seed you plant and the correct and thor-
ough preparation of the soil. Seed produced in
irrigated fields and imported Alfalfa will not give
best results. We offer a type of Alfalfa seed that
we know has produced well in Western North
Carolina. Use lime liberally, at least a ton to
the acre, many use 2 y2 tons to the acre.

Postpaid— Lb. 35c ; 10 lbs. $3.00 ; 30 lbs. $7.50.
Express — Lb. 25c; 10 lbs. $2.35; bushel, $13.50.

Japan Clover or Lespedeza

It is known as “poor land alfalfa.” A few
pounds added to other clover mixtures bring re-
markable returns, since this variety of clover is
extremely hardy and capable of withstanding the
severest colds or droughts. Both the hay and
grazing of first nutrition.

Postpaid — Lb. 30c ; 10 lbs. $2.75.

Express — Lb. 25c; bushel (251bs.) $6.00.

White Clover

Does well in nearly all parts of the South. In
this section it is indigenous t© all kinds of soils.
Is especially valuable and largely used in LAWN
and PASTURE MIXTURES. It makes a small,
close, compact growth. If sown alone, sow 6 to 8
lbs. an acre ; more largely sown with other grasses
— in this case use half the amount.

Postpaid— Lb. 75c; 10 lbs. $7.00.

Express — Lb. 65c ; bushel, $36.00.

HIGH GRADE CLOVER AND ALFALFA SEED—
Continued.

Sweet Clover or Melilotus

For Forage and Soil Improvement

SWEET CLOVER — Is also known as Bokhara
Clover the White Blooming or Melilotus Alba is
the most popular sweet clover. It produces a
larger growth and is of a superior quality to the
yellow, which is very coarse. One of the great
uses Melilotus has been put to is to inoculate the
soil where alfalfa is intended to be grown, as it
contains the same class of bacteria that infest
the roots of alfalfa, for it will grow where al-
falfa will not the first year. It enriches poor,
thin land ; prevents land from washing, stands
heat and drought remarkably well ; is very fat-
tening for all live stock ; valuable for bee pas-
ture. It is sown at the rate of 10 to 15 lbs. to
an acre.

One grower advises that he has used Sweet
Clover with wonderful success to prevent washing
of mountain lands. He states that he planted a
large quantity in old ditches and the result was
remarkable. We cannot recommend Sweet Clover
too highly as a crop to improve worn-out fields,
to inoculate soil for Alfalfa, and as a pasture
for hogs and cattle.

Postpaid— Lb. 25c; 10 lbs. $2.15.

Express— Lb. 20c; 10 lbs. $1.85; 100 lbs. $15.00

Inoculate this seed with Farmogerm or Mulford
Culture. Seed page 49.

Bur Clover

Can only be sown in the summer and fall.
For the South it is a most valuable winter grazing
crop, growing luxuriantly all through the winter
and until the summer comes fully on. It is ad-
mirably adapted for use with Bermuda Grass ;
the combination of the two makes a splendid
all-the-year-round pasturage.

Postpaid — Lb. 30c ; 10 lbs. $2.50.

Express — Lb. 25c; 100 lbs. $20.00.

Crimson Clover

Best Only for Late Summer and Fall Sowing

This variety should be more largely used by

REAL CLOVER— INOCULATION GREW IT

every Southern farmer. Produces an excellent
hay and fine winter pasturage. Crimson Clover
is one of the finest of all soil-improving crops.
Sow at the rate of 15 lbs. to an acre broadcast
from July to October.

The price of Crimson Clover the past season
was very high and we are unable to judge what
the price will be the coming season. We will
be glad to quote on application in any quantity.

Our High Quality Grass Seed

Timothy

The most important timothy ranks unsurpassed
as the hay producer of America. All livestock,
especially horses, relish and thrive on it. Timo-
thy prefers good stiff loamy soils containing an
abundance of moisture, and is peculiarly adapted
for the heavy clay soils of mountainous districts.
It is a rapid grower, producing the best crop the
first year. However, by manuring or top-dressing
with our special grass fertilizer the succeeding
years may bring equally as good yields of this
wonderful hay crop. Since it matures with Sap-
ling Clover, Red Top, and Meadow Fescue, any
or all of these are valuable additions both in
production of larger yields of hay or grazing.
If sown with Sapling Clover the clover will help
to supply nitrogen. 10 lbs. Timothy, 8 lbs. Sapling
Clover to the acre. Alone use one peck to the acre.

Kentucky Blue Grass

This true perennial combines more true points
of excellence than any other grass. It is the most
widely distributed of all native grasses. The
densely creeping root stock, spreading habit and
smooth even growth of fine texture and richest
green color render Kentucky Blue Grass highly
suitable for producing the rich velvety green turf
so envied in all good lawns. It forms an early
close turf in almost any soil, dry, rocky, sandy
or gravelly, and withstands dry weather admira-
bly. It takes several years to establish a heavy
sod, and should, therefore, be sown with other
grasses. Soils of Western North Carolina should
be heavily limed before sowing lawns of Blue
Grass. It is also most valuable for pastures be-
cause of its productiveness and the wonderful
nourishing qualities of the green food. Sow 40
lbs. per acre for lawns and at the rate of 28 lbs.
in mixtures for pastures.

Postpaid — Lb. 50c ; 10 lbs. $4.50.

Orchard Grass.

Orchard Grass

Orchard Grass is prob-
ably the best known
and most universally
used of all varieties of
grass. It is very hardy
and succeeds anywhere
in the United States,
yielding enormous crops
of most nutritious hay
for grazing. All live-
stock are very fond of
it, green or dry, and it
endures constant crop-
ping better than any
other grass. It has
been found that Orch-
ard Grass is peculiarly
adapted for growing
in the shade, and that
while it succeeds well
on soils of sandy tex-
tures, the ideal soils
are clay uplands or
stiff soils. For finest
quality hay it should
be cut just before blos-
soming when the stem
is less hard and the
pith of the stem is still
soft and sweet. After
being mown Orchard
Grass grows up quick-
ly and yields a heavier
aftermath than any
other variety of grass.
Since this variety
grows in tufts, to ob-
tain best results Red
Clover or Tall Meadow Oat Grass, both of which
mature at the same time, should be sown with
Orchard Grass. The usual rate of seeding of such
a mixture is 6 lbs. Red Clover, 14 lbs. Orchard
Grass, and 11 lbs. Tall Meadow Oat Grass per
acre, or 8 lbs. Red Clover and 18 lbs. of Orchard
Grass per acre. Orchard Grass sown alone re-
quires 1% bushels to 2 bushels per acre. For pas-
tures Red Top, Kentucky Blue Grass, Canada
Blue Grass, Rye Grasses, and Clovers are very
desirable additions to Orchard Grass.

CHEROKEE BRAND — 90% Purity, 90% Germ-
ination. This seed is radically recleaned, being
of heaviest weight.

Red Top or Herd’s Grass

A very hards’-, native perennial grass well adapt-
ed for such a variety of situations that while suc-
ceeding best on moist lands. Red Top also flour-
ishes in almost any soil and under all conditions,
even withstanding hottest climates. Because it is
perhaps our most permanent pasture grass
every good hay and pasture mixture sown should
contain a liberal quantity of this most excellent
grass. It remains green for the greater part of
the year, and its long trailing stems form a very
close matting turf that is not affected by tramp-
ling. Sow 8 or 10 lbs. to the acre.

Postpaid — Lb. 35c ; 10 lbs. $3.25.

Express — Lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.70; 100 lbs. $25.00.

Canada Blue Grass

A very hardy perennial grass, with creeping root
stocks. It grows on the poorest and driest soils,
sandy, gravelly or clayey, standing extreme wet-
ness or drought, and keeping green until severe
frosts of winter. It is especially valuable for
dairy pastures, cows feeding on it yielding the

richest milk and the finest quality butter. It is
distinguished from Kentucky Blue Grass by its
flattened, wiry stems and decidedly blue color.
Sow 28 lbs. per acre alone.

Postpaid — Lb. 40c ; 10 lbs. $3.50.

Express— Bus. $4.25 ; 50 lbs. $15 ; 100 lbs. $27.50.

Tall Meadow Oat Grass

Tall Meadow Oat Grass is most highly esteemed
for pastures on account of its early and luxuriant
growth of an abundant supply of foliage, which
is greatly relished by cattle both during early
spring and autumn. It is the first green grass of
spring, and seems to yield steady grazing until
late fall, even during extreme drought or cold.
For hay two cuttings may be made each season,
and for green feed four or five cuttings may be
had under favorable conditions. It matures with
Orchard Grass and Red Clover, and mixed with
these produces large yields of finest quality hay.
All pasture mixtures should be composed of a
percentage of this excellent year-round grazing
crop. Sow 25 or 30 lbs. to the acre in Spring
or Fall.

Postpaid — Lb. 45c ; bushel $4.50.

Express — Bu. $4.00 ; 100 lbs. $32.00.

Meadow Fescue or Randall Grass

One of the grasses most used in permanent or
temporary meadows for mowing or pasture. It
succeeds best in cold moist light soils, in well-
drained meadows and low valleys rich in organic
matter. It reaches full development the second
or third year, and then far exceeds most grasses
in productiveness of a very superior feed, dry or
green. After being mown it grows up quickly.
It is highly relished by cattle and most nourish-
ing. Sow 40 lbs. per acre.

siderably. It is a very valuable, vigorous growing
grass, suitable for furnishing in a very short time
a splendid green pasture. Also fine on lawns. It
forms a good turf, and stands the dry weather re-
markably well. This grass can be sown with suc-
cess either in the fall of the year or very early
spring. On rich land it will grow from 2 to 3 feet

Bermuda Grass

This is a most valuable grass for pasturage,
hay, lawns, etc., in the lowlands of the South,
where other grasses do not grow well due to the
extreme heat. It stands hot weather remarkably
well. We do not advise sowing it in the mountain
section of Western North Carolina, except for
hillsides and railway embankments, to keep them
from washing. The seed should be sown broad
cast 6 to 8 lbs. to acre from end of March to
July. Do not sow too early, as the seed will not
germinate in cool weather. Cover seed lightly, not
more than half an inch. As this grass is very
hard to eradicate it should not be used for tem-
porary pasture.

Permanent Pasture and Hay Mixtures

It has been proven conclusively that many kinds of grass and clover seeds mixed together in
proper proportion will produce on any soil a much larger yield and a more nutritious crop. It will
give more cuttings and a longer period of grazing. Where a single grass is sown there will be vacant
places that will fill up with weeds, while in a mixture there is seed adapted to all soils and as a
result the whole surface will be covered with good grasses. Each and every variety of grass has its
peculiar characteristics, some will withstand extreme drought, some are early and some are late and
as a result a well-balanced mixture will give a green pasture under all conditions.

Our “CHEROKEE PASTURE MIXTURE” for upland and lowland is a mixture best adapted to
the soils of Western North Carolina, and many of our customers that bought at first in small quantities
are now sending us large repeat orders. The mixtures are giving the greatest satisfaction. When
ordering please state whether for upland or lowland. Sow 30 to 35 pounds to the acre.

We have other formulas suitable for the soil and climatic conditions of all other parts of the
South. If you will send us a sample of your soil, a little taken from several places and mixed to-
gether, we will be glad to test it for you and to recommend just what your soil needs, and what
seeds are best adapted.

SOWING THE SEED— The seed should not
be sown in this section until the weather
becomes warm, about the first of May. Can
be sown in drills or broadcast. When in
drills about 2 feet apart, it requires about 10
lbs. of seed to an acre. If broadcast or drilled
thickly, 25 to 30 lbs. to an acre is required.

Golden or German Millet

TENNESSEE GOLDEN MILLET— Makes a
large crop of most nutritious hay ; rapid grow-
er, and easily cured. Sow about 1% bushels
per acre from April to August, cut the hay
Jsefore the heads form. Our Tennessee grown
Millet not only produces a large crop but a
better quality of hay than the Western seed.

Postpaid — Lb. 20c ; 10 lbs. $1.00.

Express — 10 lbs. 85c ; bushel $3.50.

Oats should be sown in March and April
and at the rate of 2 to 3 bushels to the acre,
since they do not have time to stool as oats
sown in the fall do.

We sell only tested seed and the pick of the
crop ; they insure a better stand and better
yield.

BURT or 90-DAY OATS — This is unques-
tionably the quickest growing, most prolific,
and surest cropping of all spring oats. It is
a sure header, early maturing (about two
weeks earlier, than other varieties) and is
rust-proof. The healthy, clean and vigorous
growth produces an abundant yield of bright,
heavy grain. Burt Oats are especially adapted
for poor soils.

Postpaid — Peck 40c ; bushel $1.30.

Express- — Bu. 90c ; 5 bu. at 85c per bu.

Virginia Gray or Winter Turf Oats

The wide popularity of Winter Turf Oats is
probably due to their hardiness, since there is
no other variety that can withstand such extreme
cold. Experiments in practically all climates
prove that these Oats seldom winter kill. It has
remarkable stooling tendencies and is a heavy
yielder of bright grain which very often weighs
35 to 40 pounds per bushel. We cannot recom-
mend this variety too strongly, especially to
farmers of Western North Carolina.

Postpaid — Peck 45c ; bushel $1.65.

Express — Bushel about $1.25 ; 5 bushels at $1.10
per bushel. Prices fluctuate.

THIS NEW REMARKABLE HAY AND FOR-
AGE CROP has created a sensation among the
planters wherever sown on account of the uni-
versal success attained with it. Its adaptability
to various kinds of soils and climates ; its won-
derfully Keavy yielding qualities of abundance of
good nutritous feed.

SUDAN GRASS AT A GLANCE — From
Farmers Bulletin 605, Department of Agricul-
ture : “Sudan Grass is related to the cultivat-
ed sorghums and is thought by some to be
the progenitor of this group. It was obtained
from Khartoum, Sudan, in 1909. In appear-
ance it is similar to Johnson Grass, but it is
somewhat more erect, taller, and has a broader
leaf. It lacks entirely the underground root
stocks which make Johnson Grass a pest.
Two or three cuttings can be obtained from
it under favorable conditions. The yields vary
from 1 to 8 tons of cured hay per acre. It
promises to fill a long-felt want for a hay
grass in the South, and will likely replace
millets as a catch crop in the Central and
Eastern States.”

IMPROVED OR SELECTED SEED CORN

EARLY MATURING VARIETIES

IMPROVED EARLY GOLDEN DENT CORN— This produces mam-
moth ears, maturing in 90 to 110 days.

It makes a beautiful ear, well filled, with deep golden
yellow kernels, medium wide and firmly set on a small
cob. No matter whether shelled or on the cob, no
yellow corn is more attractive. The stalks are robust
and grow from 8 to 10 feet high. The shuck is close and
completely protects the tip from wet weather. In fact no
matter how wet the weather it does not seem to hurt it.
Produces one to two ears to the stalk. This seed is
grown in Buncombe County under our supervision ; select-
ed in the field, hand shelled, nubbed at both ends.

Postpaid — Lb. 15c ; peck $1.10 ; bu.$3.65.

Express — Lb. 10c ; peck 90c ; bu. $3.00.

EARLY WHITE SNOW FLAKE— This variety is un-
doubtedly the earliest large corn in cultivation. The
grain is deep white ; cob small, white, sometimes running
as much as 90 per cent grain. The average length of
the ear 8 to 11 inches, and the stalk is low, averaging
about 7 to 8 feet. The ear is usually borne close to the
ground. This variety admits of close cultivation, and,
in our judgment, is one of the most profitable corns that
can be grown for main crop. It has been known to make
a roasting ear in 60 days after germinating. It will
always be hard enough to grind in 90 to 120 days. It is
largely used throughout the South for planting as late
as July.

Postpaid — Lb. 15c ; peck $1.10 ; bu.$3.65.

Express — Lb. 10c ; peck 90c ; bu. $3.00.

CHAMPION EARLY WHITE DENT CORN — Matures
in 90 to 100 days. This variety is always ready for
feeding, husking, and marketing earlier than any other
of the standard varieties of white corn by fully two weeks.
Stalk of medium height ranging from 7 to 10 feet high
(dependent upon the land, hill or bottom ground). The
type of this corn is very even and uniform ; large ears
run from 9 to 12 inches long ; 16 to 22 rows of pure
white kernels ; ears well filled out at butt and tip ends.

Postpaid — Lb. 15c ; peck $1.10 ; bu.$3.65.

Express — Lb. 10c ; peck 90c ; bu. $3.00. *

BOONE COUNTY WHITE CORN— It is a splendid
yielder. In many places it is a great favorite. Highly
recommended for an early maturing, heavy yielding corn
for uplands or good light loam soils. The ears are from
9 to 12 inches long, 7% to 8% ins. in circumference,
containing 18 to 24 rows. The cob is medium size, and
pure white in color. The ears are quite uniform in size,
shape and appearance. Kernels are pearl white, quite
deep. This variety grows a large stalk from 10 to 12
feet high, with an abundance of foliage, and like other
white varieties, is the best for old, thin, poor soils.
They gather more plant food from the air and less from
the soil than does the yellow corn.

Vetch

HAIRY or SAND VETCH — Has become very
popular in the South as a land improver. It is
also fine for hay and grazing, all kinds of stock
relish it. While it is in bloom, bees make more
than double as much honey, as at any other time.
The honey is white and clear and of excellent
quality. It grows well on all soils and does
surprisingly well on poor, thin land. It with-
stands drought and extremes of heat and cold.
It reseeds itself, coming year after year from
one sowing. It has a wonderful value as a ferti-
lizer. Sow early in the spring 20 pounds to an
acre with 1 to 1 % bushels Red Rust Proof Oats,
or you may sow in the fall to make hay about

the end of May. It never winter kills. Alone
sow about 50 pounds to the acre.

Past season crop was short and price very high.
Prices fluctuates. Will quote in any quantity

OREGON SPRING VETCH— This crop has been
largely grown on the Pacific Coast and has only
recently been planted to a large extent in the
South. It is an excellent soil improver as well as
a nutritious hay and grazing crop. We recom-
mend sowing 30 lbs. Vetch with 1 bushel Oats
for grazing.

All Valuable Leguminous Plants and Summer Forage Crops

Soy or Soja Beans

The cultivation of this crop is increasing rapid-
ly, due to its value and importance for a forage
crop and soil improver. Soy beans are also valuable
to the Southern farmer, as they resist the drought
and hot weather to a great extent. Soy Beans
are practically the only crop that furnishes a
balanced ration feed in one crop. Both the forage
and bean crop are very nutritious ; can be sown
in drills 3% feet apart at the rate of % bushel
to 3 pecks to an acre or broadcast 1% busels to
an acre. Thick sowing prevents, stalks from grow-
ing too coarse. Often successfully sown with
cow peas, mixing % bushel Soy Beans to 1
bushel of cow peas to an acre. We list below
the most popular varieties.

WILSON EARLY BLACK SOY— A very early
variety, also very prolific. Has fine stems which
enable it to cure for hay quicker than other varie-
ties.

Orchard Supplies

Many of the orchards in Western North Carolina
have a wonderful crop this season and this shows
the effect of proper spraying. Those trees that
were not sprayed have produced a crop of wormy,
scabby apples that are bringing practically nothing
on the market, while the good apples are still
bringing a big price. Many of the orchards are
in deplorable condition due to the lack of care.

In 1921 the Asheville Seed Company established
an orchard supply department to take care of
the apple industry in Western North Carolina.

They have continued to develop this department
until now they are able to furnish the orchardist

with almost anything he needs at a moments
notice. It is always our desire to co-operate with
our customers in every way possible and we will
be glad to suggest at any time the best and
cheapest method of controlling the many pests
of the orchard.

We are still able to furnish anything for the
orchard at the very lowest competitive price,
quality considered. We are in a position to
furnish at a moments notice, insecticides, spray-
ers, pruners, and other materials.

Write for our prices in any quantity before
buying.

Niagara Soluble Sulphur Compound

It is a powdered material pre-
pared from a special soda-ash
and sulphur, which will dissolve
readily in hot and cold water.
When used for San Jose Scale it
is quick and sure. As a dorm-
ant spray, SOLUBLE SUL-
PHUR COMPOUND has no
equal.

Besides its insecticidal value,
NIAGARA SOLUBLE SUL-
PHUR COMPOUND has many
advantages over the old fashion-
ed lime-sulphur solution. Chief
among these are the elimination
of 500 lbs. of water and package
and the consequent saving of freight, the easy and
convenient hauling and handling, keeps indefinite-
ly in any climate, no loss from leakage, no freez-
ing or crystallization, no bother returning empty
barrels.

Especially for the control of San Jose Scale, we
believe Niagara Soluble Sulphur Compound to be
the best and most economical spray material on
the market.

AMOUNT OF MATERIAL TO USE— For the
Dormant Sprays, for the control of such troubles
as San Jose Scale, Oyster Shell Bark Louse, etc.,
use 121/6 pounds of NIAGARA SOLUBLE SUL-
PHUR COMPOUND to 50 gallons of water.

Price — f. o. b. Asheville (fluctuates) —

100 lb. Cans per 100 lbs. $7.00.

50 lb. Cans — $4.00 ; 5 lb. Cans__60c.

25 lb. Cans — 2.25; 1 lb. Cans__20c.

The use of Niagara Soluble Sulphur as other
than dormant spray is not recommended. For
summer spray use Rogers Dry Lime Sulphur and
Arsenate of Lead or ’’Pyrox.”

Rogers Dry Lime Sulphur

Rogers Dry Lime Sul-
phur is not a substitute
for liquid Lime Sul-
phur Solution, but is
actually the same in
dry form. The regular
330 Baume liquid Lime
Sulphur Solution is
first made to meet all
government r e p u i r e-
ments, and then by a
special process reduced
to dry form. To pre-
pare it for spraying it
is only necessary to
add water. It is useless to explain to growers the
many advantages of this excellent material, such
as lower costs arrived at by convenience of hand-
ling, lower transportation charges, etc. The mat-
ter of most importance is the effectiveness. Thru
exhaustive tests of both materials under the same
conditions, experts representing both manufac-
turers and the agricultural department have found

the result identical and that Dry Lime Sulphur
would control the following effectively: San Jose
Scale, Oyster Shell Scale, Apple Scab, Pear Scale,
Peach Leaf Curl, Brown Rot, Leaf Spot, etc.

Rogers Dry Lime Sulphur for the control of all
scales, San Jose, Oyster Shell, etc., when the
trees are in a dormant state, is used in the ratio
of 10 lbs. to 14 lbs. to 50 gallons of water.

Use from 3 to 4 lbs. of Rogers Dry Lime Sul-
phur and 1 lb. Dry Arsenate of Lead to 50 gallons
of water for control of Apple Scab and Pear Scab,
Brown Rot and Leaf Spot are controlled by add-
ing 56 gallons of water to a mixture of 1% lbs.
Rogers Dry Lime Sulphur and 1 lb. Arsenate of
Lead.

Dry Lime Sulphur is highly recommended for
all summer sprays in connection with arsenic ma-
terials and Black Leaf “40” for control of insects
and fungus. For more complete information write

ing.” Price of Rogers Dry Lime Sulphur.

Bowker’s Pyrox

Thousands of the fruit
growers of America will
use no other material for
killing insects and con-
trolling fungus diseases
of fruits, vegetables,
grapes, etc. PYROX is
made of the purest raw
materials and contains a
poison in a form which
has proved most effective
for killing leaf -eating in-
sects. PYROX he’ps to
produce perfect fruit and
vegetables by protecting
plants or trees or vines
from insects and fungus
diseases. It increases the
health and vigor of the
foliage— keeps it a rich Ths Pyrox Drum>
green color throughout

the growing season. This produces the finest
quality fruit or vegetable, the kind that brings
the highest market price.

Full directions for use of PYROX on apples,
pears, quinces, grapes, and vegetable crops will
be supplied free. We cannot recommend this ma-
terial too highly for vegetables and for summer
spray of fruit, especially apples.

Arsenate of Lead

Dry Powdered — The

advantages of the use
of a dry powdered form
si Arsenate of L e a a
over the bulky paste
material are many. It
is an exceedingly line
divided fluffy powder,
which is a greater bulk
per given weight than
any other powdered
Arsenate of Lead man-
ufactured. For this rea-
son it goes into sus-

— — — pension in the spray

tank much more readily than the paste lead or
any other form of dry Arsenate of Lead. It con-
tains 30 to 33 per cent of Arsenate of Oxide. It is
very adhesive and sticks to the leaves and fruit
for the longest possible time. This insures the
greatest effectiveness at the lowest cost. These
advantages make it much preferable to Paris
green for destroying leaf-eating insects. Use 1 to
2 lbs. to 50 gallons water for general spraying

and splendid disinfectant. Invaluable for dog
kennels, poultry houses, etc.

tains 40 per cent of nicotine. One ounce bottle
makes about six gallons; % lb. tin makes from
40 to 150 gallons spray.

In order to assist the “Black Leaf 40” to pene-
trate to and thoroughly wet the insect, it is ad-
visable when spraying with “Black Leaf 40” alone
to add 3 or 4 lbs. of dissolved soap to every 100
gallons of spray. When using “Black Leaf 40”
in combination with other sprays, do not use soap.

PARIS GREEN — Is very poisonous. Is known
to be the most reliable destroyer of all leaf -eating
insects, but is almost worthless for destroying
what are known as sucking insects. If thought de-
sirable to use in solution, which is really the
most economical way, from % to 1 pound will be
sufficient to add to 50 gallons of water, or 1 pound

The Armstrong Standard Spray Pump is simply
a very carefully designed and accurately made
“squirt-gun” provided with a proper outfit of
nozzles. Its simplicity largely accounts for its
unusual power.

Its plan of operation is so simple and so differ-
ent from other types of spraying apparatus. This
permits the use of the hose on the suction end in-
stead of on the discharge end. That is why it is
possible to use the Armstrong Standard either with
a bucket, barrel or knapsack, depending upon
the number of trees or the kind of spraying to
be done.

For bucket use, a short length of hose is sup-
plied. To use it with barrel or tank for a larger
orchard, a longer length of hose up to 25 or 30
feet is desirable. The work of spraying is always
done from the ground. No ladder, long extension
or raised platform is needed. A large tree can be
completely sprayed with ten or a dozen strokes of
the pump. The work is done rapidly and with a
minimum of labor and, by reason of the equal
strokes, spraying material is not dissipated.

By different arrangements of the several nozzles
regularly supplied, sprays of varying fineness —
from a mist to a straight stream that carries
sixty feet — are produced.

As supplied for spraying from bucket.

short extension attachments.

For spraying young or scattered trees or truck
crops such as potatoes, tobacco and the like, the
knapsack and short curved extension are used
with the pump. With this equipment, the Arm-
strong Standard will spray potatoes one row at
a time at the rate of an acre an hour or better.

The Armstrong Standard Spray Pump is ideal
for spraying liquid insecticides of all kinds, for
whitewashing poultry houses and cattle barns, for
spraying disinfectants in veterinary use, for wash-
ing windows, for washing autos — there is almost
a daily use for the Armstrong Standard about the
home, farm, garden and orchard.

The Armstrong Standard is made entirely of
brass. No leather packings are used and no metal
subject to rust or decay. Every Armstrong Stand-
ard is warranted for five years. This makes it
the most economical spraying device on the
maket.

Buckeye Incubators, The Perfect Hatchers

We are exclusive agents in Western North Caro-
lina for the famous Buckeye Incubators and
Brooders. Years of experience in the poultry
supply business have convinced us that these are
the most efficient hatchers on the market.

The unprecedented success which has followed
the Buckeye for thirty years is primarily due to
the invention of the Buckeye water system. With
out this wonderful system of hot water heating,
that perfect balance between the temperature,
moisture and ventilation, which is so necessary
to successful incubation, would be a physical im-
possibility.

Too much importance cannot be attached to
keeping impure gases and fumes out of an incu-
bator. The hot water of the Buckeye is heated
on the outside, eliminating all damage to eggs
from fumes and gases. It is this feature, together
with the perfect temperature maintained by the
Buckeye, that makes it possible for it to hatch
more chicks and better chicks than any other
incubator.

Parts sent on request.

BUCKEYE STANDARD INCUBATORS

Buckeye “Standard” Incubators are equipped
with every desirable device that could possibly add
to the efficiency of an incubator. Only the best
of materials are used and each machine is inspect-
ed by the National Board of Insurance Under-
writers before they leave the factory.

It requires no artificial moisture, will operate
satisfactorily in any climate, and requires no
attention to the regulator from the time a hatch
i^ started until it is finished.

It is not necessary to have any previous ex-
perience to operate a Buckeye. The entire Buck-
eye system is so simple that a boy or girl can
operate it as satisfactorily as an experienced
operator.

Buckeye Standard Incubators are equipped with
every desirable device that can possible be added
to an incubator. The big breeders say that
there is nothing left undone — nothing to be
wished for in the “Standard.” Each machine
carries Underwriter’s Guarantee.

Standard Feeders, Watering Fountains, Shell Boxes, etc., are indispensable to all poultry raisers.
These appliances not only pay for themselves by saving a large percentage of the feed, but at the
same time keep the feed and water free from dirt. This sanitary feature alone brings large returns
by keeping the flock in healthy condition.

DRY MASH HOPPERS
The curved bottom of the
Hopper keeps the feed with-
in easy reach of the birds.

The gradual enlargement
from top to bottom prevents
clogging. The wire grid
and wires running from the
flange through the wire grid
prevents any chance of the
fowls throwing out or wasting
feed. The sloping cover pre-
vents the birds from roosting
on the Hopper, and when
both covers are closed, it is
rat and mouse proof. A trial
will convince you that this
^ „ is a feeder of superior merit.

The popularity of our poultry feeds in Western
North Carol. na has encouraged us to add a
complete line of first quality dairy, horse, and

ted and mixed from the choicest ingred'ents
used for feeding stock. They have stood the
most painstaking tests and have produced en-
viable results for their many users.

The prices of all grain feeds fluctuate con-
stantly, hence it is not possible to> list prices
in this catalogue. Prices and samples will be
submitted on application.

ration mixed from sound, clean, and bright
