nized and be sure your family has plenty of them in a great variety throughout the
year. Make the family garden a proposition of first importance on your farm. We will
he glad to make you helpful suggestions regarding the best varieties.

FOREWORD

Dear Customers and Readers:

During the last year our business made a rapid growth. Last season we issued 52,000
catalogs, but to take care of our expanding business we are printing this year 100,000
copies. We specialize in seeds for market gardeners and our trade with them made rap-
id increases during the last season. Inasmuch as we are satisfying our critical market
gardener trade, we believe we can please those who plant for home use.

NORTHWEST GROWN SEEDS

The seeds grown in this climate under moderate winter and summer conditions have
the opportunity for full development. In comparison with seeds grown in other loca-
tions they seem more hardy and of greater vitality and it is certain that the local grown
seed are, owing to their acclimation, far superior for Northwest climatic and soil condi-
tions. Those indicated with a star are Northwest grown seeds.

The increase in production from greater vitality and adaptiveness will materially in-
crease your crops, as those who have made comparative tests will readily testify.

OUR OWN GROWN SEEDS

Seedmen carry a tremendous responsibility to the public. The seeds are a vital fac-
tor in the crop. We have had so many disappointments from seeds purchased of other
firms that we have decided to grow as many of the leading varieties as we possibly can
ourselves. It is expensive and slow work to breed up extra selected strains and this
means that our own specialties must command a higher price than carelessly grown
seeds. We believe however that our customers are willing to pay higher prices for better
seeds and we have been encouraged to expand our seed growing activities.

WHO WILL RECEIVE OUR CATALOG

Our files show us the names of all who have ever sent us an order. To these we mail
our catalog each year, and we also mail our catalog again to all those who received our
catalog the first time last season regardless whether they sent an order or not. However
we will always send catalogs free upon request.

FERTILIZERS

We are now carrying a comprehensive list of fertilizers and will be glad to quote at
any time. Let us assist you with your fertilizer problems.

OUR GUARANTEE

We guarantee our seed to be true to name and will be responsible to the amount of
the purchase price of the article. Germination is so dependent upon weather conditions,
the time and manner of planting, which are beyond ouir control, that we do not guarantee
this, other than in a fair and proper test, and under such will be responsible for the pur-
chase price only. Under no conditions do we obligate ourselves for the failure of a crop
other than has been set forth above.

OUR CATALOG

Has been prepared with the desire to have it sensible and free from exaggeration.
The cuts used are practically all made from photographs taken from samples grown by
ourselves and are reasonable illustrations of the results obtained from our seeds. We are
opposed to filling our catalog with a long list of worthless novelties and are confining
our list to the fewest possible varieties, and introducing only those new sorts which have
some added value over other introductions. Those who receive more than one copy of our
catalog will confer a favor by handing it to someone interested.

PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE

As market gardeners and the many tests we have made for years, has given us a
thorough knowledge of the varieties best suited for our climate, and aside from those
varieties which we grow, has enabled us to secure our seed from: the best sources. In
that respect we differ from the average seed store where the experience is more from a
selling standpoint.

SCHOOL GARDENS

We wish to encourage the school garden movement and will give a discount on or-
ders placed through any public school.

PLANTING THE SEED

We are fully convinced that much failure in seed germination is due to careless
planting, and those inexperienced in garden work are urged to study the culture direc-
tions at the heads of the different vegetable lists.

The all too common folly of wet plowing has ruined manp crops, for the cloddy, run-
together condition of the soil after such work is disastrous to the growth of any plant.
Planting too early or in damp, cold ground will never make for success and should be
avoided. Too deep or too shallow planting is often the cause of poor germination and the
weather conditions should be studied.

OUR DAHLIAS LEAD

Dahlias are one of our leading specialties and we are now the most extensive grow-
ers west of the Mississippi River. We have originated and introduced over forty new
varieties of exceptional merit. Our acclimated bulbs will give 100 per cent better results
than Eastern stock. We wish to extend to all a hearty invitation to visit our farm. We
won first prize on dahlias at Oregon State Fair last Fall.

MISTAKES

Like all human beings, we are apt to make mistakes, and if an error occurs, we will
consider it a favor to be notified at once so that we can rectify the oversight.

If you have a complaint, tell us first. In the rush of Spring business, mistakes may
happen, but if so, tell us pleasantly about it and be assured of courteous treatment.

SUBSTITUTION

In view of the fact that some kinds of seed are short this year we would suggest
that customers give, as much as possible, their permission for us to substitute the nearest
variety to the one ordered in case we should be sold out. On items of small importance,
or during the planting season, when time is precious, we may occasionally send other
sorts if out of the ones ordered, but such substitutions may be returned for credit if un-
satisfactory to the purchaser.

APPRECIATION

We extend to all our customers our thanks for their patronage and wish to express
our appreciation to those who have so kindly mentioned our firm to their friends.

Our aim is to give everyone a square deal, and we hope those who have not yet pur-
chased of us will at least favor us with a trial order.

VEGETABLE SEED SUBJECT TO CHANGE IN EXTREME CASES

We expect to be able to maintain the prices quoted in this catalog, but owing to
constantly changing conditions, disturbing replacement values, we must reserve the right
to make advances on such items as might otherwise be sold at a loss.

WE SPECIALIZE IN MARKET GARDENER TRADE

If you buy in quantities write us for our Market Gardener rates.

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS

We are always willing to offer any assistance in our power regarding culture, best
varieties for your soil and market, etc. We will also be glad to consider any suggestion
you may wish to make to us regarding our catalog, service, seeds, etc.

VEGETABLES

ARTICHOKE

Large Green Globe — ^The green buds are Jerusalem — The tubers are used for stock

used. Start in hotbeds. Pkt. 20c; oz. $1.00. feed. See section field seeds.

ASPARAGUS

Culture — Set the plants about four inches deep and one to two feet apart in rows four to six
feet apart. One-year roots are considered by some the best to plant, although other authorities
claim it is best to plant the seed w’here they are to remain in their permanent bed, thinning them
to the proper distance. The seed is of slow germination and should be planted early in the Spring.

Palmetto — Early and prolific with large
shoots of deep green, slightly tinted with
purple at the tips of the stalks. This is
the standard sort and most generally plant-
ed. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; lb. 35c; lb. $1.00.

Columbian Mammoth White — This large
stalked strain produces white stalks above
the surface. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; ^ lb. 50c.

Asparagus Plants, Palmetto — 1-Year
Roots, dozen 40c; 100 for $1.2*5, postpaid.
E. or F., 100 for $1.00; 1,000 at $8.00.

Read our fertilizer suggestions. See
inside back cover.

DWARF BEANS

Culture — Plant about May 1st for early beans, as soon as the ground becomes warm, in light
loamy soil. Large seeded beans require warmer weather to germinate than small beans. Cover
from to 2 inches deep, according to weather conditions. Never cultivate or hoe beans when the
foliage is damp from dew or rains, as it will produce rust.

Prices on Bean Seed. Unless otherwise
stated prices are uniformly as follows: Pkt.
10c; V2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c, postpaid. E. or F.,
lb. 30c; 10 lbs. @ 25c lb. Write for prices
on greater quantities.

^GILL’S RELIABLE— This popular bean
has no doubt been handed down from
pioneer days, as it is found under various
names throughout the Northwest. We have
grown this bean over thirty years, but
never knew the correct name and, although
we have made several efforts to locate its
true identity, we have not succeeded and
so call it Gill’s Reliable. It is remarkably
prolific and hardy, having few superiors,
either as a string or dry bean. The pods
are green and the seed pure white. Unless
picked very young, the pods need stringing.
Fine for canning and a good all around
bean. Seed very scarce. Pkt. 15c; ^ lb.
30c; lb. 50c, postpaid.

* PENCIL POD BLACK WAX— Hardy
and prolific and of finest quality. The pods
are bright waxy yellow, long and round
and entirely free from strings. Desirable
for home or market and very valuable for
caning. We consider this the heaviest
yielder of the dwarf wax beans.

* Black Valentine — Very hardy; extremely
early, withstanding cold damp weather bet-
ter than most sorts. Pods dark green, long,
straight and nearly round. Popular with
market gardeners but not very high in
quality unless picked very young.

* Dwarf Horticultural or Cranberry — ^A
rich flavored early bush bean generally
used as a green shell bean; vigorous and
prolific. Seed and pod striped and blotched
red. This class of beans should be more
grown, as they are very rich flavored, used
either green or dry for winter.

GILL BROS. SEED CO.

DWARF BEANS— Continued
BURPEE’S STRINGLESS GREEN POD

— ^We consider this the best early bush
bean we have ever tried. The pods are
green, of good length, entirely stringless,
tender and brittle and remain so until
ripe. This brown-seeded bean is both early
and hardy and one of the richest flavored
beans of all. A popular market or garden
bean and desirable for canning or drying.

* Davis Wax — ^Popular with shippers,
light yellow pods, seed white. Poor quality
unless picked young. It is grown in large
quantities for long distance shipments. Ex-
ceptionally hardy and also desirable when
dry, as the seed are white and nearly as
large as White Kidney Beans.

^Refugee, or One Thousand to One — ^Val-
uable for pickling and canning. Pods about

5y2 inches long, medium green when in ^
condition to use as snaps. This is a heavy
yielding variety and gives good satisfaction,

* Extra Early Red Valentine— Extra early,
bearing deep green pods which are long,
slightly curved, stringless and of high qual- J
ity; valuable for market or home garden.

* Longfellow — Handsom.e green pods, 7 to

8 inches long, straight and round and near- ^
ly stringless. Very hardy and productive; ^
valuable for market gardeners, especially
where a shipping variety is desired.

*Stringless Refugee Wax— Round, pearly :
wax pods of medium size; early and pro- ^
ductive. Valuable for canning. p

*OREGON GIANT (Dickinson’s Yount)

— This grand bean, the giant of the bean
family, will grow pods one foot in length
and one inch in diameter.

It is a mild flavored bean of exceptional
value for home or market. The quality is
superb, either for canning, drying or using
as a fresh string bean.

The pods are light yellowish green,
striped with deep carmine. When cooked,
the stripe disappears, and you have a re-
markably tender bean of delicious flavor.
When canned whole and served with may-
onnaise dressing they top the whole list of
beans for salad purposes. It matures very
early. Pkt. 20c; 1/2 lb. 35c; lb. 60c.

True Asparagus — While the Kentucky
Wonder Bean is often known and sold for
the Asparagus Bean, this is the true As-
paragus variety. The pods are fully as long
as the Kentucky Wonder, but more slender
and richer in flavor. Seed light drab color.
Pkt. 15c; V2 lb. 30c; lb. 50c; postpaid.

dry for winter use. Seed very large and
pure white. Pkt. 20c; V2 lb. 30c; lb. 50c.
E. or F., 45c; 10 lbs. 35c lb.

♦Red Mexican — Acclimated seed of this
popular early red bean. Pkt. 15c; lb. 30c.
E. or F., lb. 25c; 10 lbs. 20c lb.

is so rich in flavor that it does not need
any seasoning except salt. The plants are

green and about the size of the Lady Wash-
ington. Pkt. 20c; V2 lb. 30c; lb. 50c.

♦Boston Pea Bean — Various sorts sold as
White Wonder, Mexican Tree Bean, etc..

GILL BROS. SEED CO.

CABBAGE

Caltare — Early varieties should be started in cold frame in January or February, or sowed the

fall previous. They can be grown in a hotbed, but this is not so good, as the plants become tender.

The earliest cabbage can be grown by sowing seed in August or early September, then transplant to

the field in October. For late, plant seed in open ground May 1st, transplant June 15 for fall and

July 1st to 20th for winter cabbage, in rows 3^ feet apart, from 26 to 42 inches in the row, accord-
ing to the richness of the soil and size of variety. Do not crowd them. They do best in a rich, loamy
soil, fertilized with barnyard manure of any kind and applying our potato fertilizer as directed.

PRICES ON CABBAGE SEED are uni-
form as follows, unless otherwise noted:
Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; % lb. $1.50; lb. $5.00;
postpaid.

♦GILL’S OREGON BALL HEAD— The
acknowledged leader among Northwest
growers for ^ main crop winter cabbage.
We have developed this strain until it ex-
cels all others for solidity, resistance to
aphis or freeze injury. It is unquestionably
the best cabbage for crating or general
market purposes. The outer leaves are deep
green and will hold their color weeks after
cutting. It is the best keeper of all, and
every plant will head solid if given half a
show. It will stand later planting than any
winter sort and still produce solid heads.
Our seed crop was very short last season.
Pkt. 15c; oz. 75c; lb. $2.25;. lb. $8.00.

♦Danish Roundhead — About two weeks
earlier than Oregon Ball Head. The heads
are larger and in demand for kraut pur-
poses. It does not withstand aphis or freez-
ing like Oregon Ball Head. Seed from care-
fully selected heads of our growing.

♦Glory of Enkhuisen — The best variety
for summer or early fall crops, for its
tendency is to produce large heads even in
dry^ weather. It can also be used for early
spring crops. It is not satisfactory as a
winter cabbage. Veiw brittle and sweet.

Extra Early Express — Five to seven days
earlier than Early Jersey Wakefield, pro-
ducing pointed, firm heads of fair size.

♦Early Jersey Wakefield — This old sort
is still the most popular for early crops.
Its cone-shaped heads mature very quickly
and are unusually sweet and brittle. Our
strain is very Lnie to type and superior to
that generally offered.

♦Large Wakefield, or Charleston — ^Similar
to Jersey Wakefield, but half again as
large and 10 days later.

Premium Late Flat Dutch — Uniform
large, fiat heads, firm and of high quality.
Especially suited for home use and kraut.

♦All Head Early — ‘A second early, fiat
headed sort, veiy sure heading and little
subject to bursting. Extra fine for kraut.
Very desirable for fall and early wdnter.

Perfection Drumhead Savoy — Curly, crin-
kled leaves; sweet and of fine texture.

Mammoth Rock Red — ^The best red cab-
bage; hard heading and large. Fine for
cold slaw.

Copenhagen Market — Popular with gar-
deners. Similar to Glory of Enkhuisen.

Gill’s Oregon Ball Head

Early Winnigstadt — ^Later than Jersey
Wakefield; good either for summer or win-
ter. Small pointed heads; extra sweet.

CELERY CABBAGE

Wong Bok — A delicious new salad veg-
etable from China which is excellent for
salads and cold slaw, and is sometimes used
like Swiss Chard. The stems can be used
like celery. This vegetable is making good,
both for market and home gardens. For
best results, plant the seed in August and
transplant in September. It . can also be
planted in early spring. Those who apprec-
iate a delightful and refreshing salad

CAULIFLOWER

Culture — For early Cauliflower the same culture as for early cabbage may be used. For late
cauliflower, in the description of the varieties offered, the time of planting seed and plants is given.
Cauliflower does best in a rich, loamy soil, not a cold, wet location. Plant 2% to 3% feet in rows,
and 3% feet between rows. As soon as the heads are large enough to soon be exposed to the light, tie
or break the leaves carefully over the head to keep the light away from them._Great care should be
used in growing plants of any of the early sorts, that they receive no severe check in their growth,
as this will cause them to produce premature heads. Success can be had wdth the early varieties by
planting the seed in the field where they are to grow, even as late as July 10. However, the soil should
be thoroughly prepared and several seeds put in a hill, thinning them down to one plant when they
have reached transplanting size.

GIANT EASY BLANCHING— We be-
lieve this to be the finest caulifiower yet
introduced. Market gardeners are enthusi-
astic about it and we have booked orders
in advance for several pounds of seed. The
large, solid, pure white heads are produced
near the ground on short stems but the
leaves are extra long, while the inner
leaves fold closely about the head making
them almost self protecting. This self pro-
tecting habit insures a greater number of
first grade heads and the long leaves pro-
tect the heads in hauling or crating. The
plants have strong vitality and are un-
usually free from disease. Practically ev-
ery plant makes a fine head. For fall cut-
ting sow the same as Gilt Edge. Tests for
two years prove this sort especially val-
uable for early spring cutting. It is a rare
thing to find green leaves protruding
through the heads with this variety. Pkt.
25c; 1/4 oz. $1.50; oz. $5.00; ^ lb. $16.00;
lb. $55.00.

Burpee’s Best Elarly — Large, solid, white,
heavy heads of finest quality. Plant same
season as Gilt Edge. Pkt. 20c; 14 oz. $1.00;
oz. $3.00; ^ lb. $10.00.

Danish Giant Dry Weather — The best
sort for September markets. Extremely
hardy and withstands dry weather better
than other sorts. The large, pure white
heads are heavy and compact. They ma-
ture through a long season and when ready
stand for several days without spreading.
The leaves are quite tall and somewhat self
protecting. For early fall use, plant the
seed about April 15th, and transplant about
July 10th to 20th. Pkt. 20c; 14 oz. $1.00;
oz. $3.00; 1/4 lb. $10.00; lb. $32.00.

Select Early Snowball — We have an es-
pecially good strain of this standard early
cauliflower and can recommend it very
highly. Pkt. 20c; ^4 oz. 75c; oz. $2.50; i/4
lb. $9.00; lb. $28.00.

Gilt Edge or Mt. Hood Snowball — Sim-
ilar to Burpee’s Best Early, but larger and
produces heavier heads. The flower is quite
smooth and regular and pure white when
blanched. For fall use (October cutting)
plant the seed June 1st to 10th and trans-
plant July 15th to 25th. Pkt. 25c; % oz.
$1.50; oz. $5.00; ^4 lb. $16.00.

Giant Easy Blanching

Veitch’s Autumn Giant — A hardy, tall-
growing cauliflower, making extra large,
white heads. The leaves are dark green,
and being extra long can easily be broken
over the heads to protect them. It stands
handling and shipping better than other
varieties. Remarkably vigorous and trifty.
For late cauliflower, season of November
and December, sow seed in open bed May
1st, transplant July 1st to 15th. Pkt. 15c;
Vz oz. 80c; oz. $1.50; % lb. $5.00; lb. $15.00.

Early Autumn Giant — This strain pro-
duces nice large heads about three weeks
ahead of Veitch’s Autumn Giant. For Oc-
tober and November cutting, plant seed
May 1st and transplant July 1st to 15th.
Prices same as Veitch’s Autumn Giant.

BROCCOLI (Hardy Cauliflower)

*ST. VALENTINE SPECIAL— The best
sort for spring shipment; the solid, hand-
some white heads being of immense size
and ready in February. It is extensively
grown around Roseburg, Oregon, for East-
ern shipment.

This special strain is grow for us by a
large,, successful grower, the seed being
saved from only the best heads true to the
desired type. This selection has been car-
ried on for several seasons. Only hardy
plants with a strong tendency to self pro-
tection were saved, and we believe we have
one of the largest and best strains avail-
able. Good broccoli seed is very scarce this
season. Pkt. 15c; ^4 oz. 95c; oz. $3.00; 14
lb. $11.00.

BROCCOLI — Continued

Mammoth White Broccoli — A late vari-
ety, season December to February. Long,
tapering, heavy ribbed leaves ; inner leaves
curling about the head. While considered
a broccoli, it is really only a late cauli-
flower. Brings fancy prices, but the grow-

er must take chances on freezing in the
northern part of the state. Pkt. 15c; ^ oz.
50c; oz. $1.50; lb. $5.00.

Sutton’s Late Queen — Exceptionally late,
heading in May or June. Large white
heads. Pkt. 15c; oz. 75c; oz. $2.50.

CELERY

GOLDEN SELF BLANCHING— French
Grown. We offer a fine strain of this vari-
ety. The thick, solid stalks are a deep
creamy yellow and their flavor is unsur-
passed. They are unusually free from
strings and very solid, tender and brittle.
This is the variety most generally grown
for the market. Pkt. 15c; oz. 60c; oz.
$1.50; lb. $4.50; lb. $15.00.

EASY BLANCHING-^The habit is dwarf
and compact, with light green foliage. A
second early variety; good to follow Golden

CELERIAC, or Turnip Rooted Celery
Large Smooth Prague — ^The roots are tur-
nip shaped and are used for soups and
stews. They are very hardy and will stand
in the open all winter in the coast regions.
Cultivate the same as celery, except they
should not be blanched. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c.

CARROT

Culture — Carrots may be planted from March to June. We prefer to plant from May 10 to 25;
they will then miss many of the spring weeds and will stand through the dry season better, making
a better quality of roots. Those who plant any quantity should use a good drill, as it lessens the
work and gives a more even stand. As soon as they are up use a wheel hoe, following this with a
harrow tooth cultivator. Plant one half to one inch deep according to weather conditions.

PRICES — ^Unless otherwise stated prices
are uniformity as follows: Pkt. 10c; oz.
15c; lb. 45c; lb. $1.25. E. or F., 5 lbs.
or more @ SI. 00 per lb.

TABLE GEM — Our experiments with
this grand extra early carrot proved it to
be the finest table carrot we have ever
grown. The roots are 5 to 6 inches long, of
even diameter with blunt point. They are
nearly coreless, exceptionally tender and
sweet. They are delicious eaten raw. Color
bright orange scarlet. This variety is good
for forcing as the tops are very small. Pkt.
10c; oz. 25c; lb. 65c; lb. $2.25.

^OREGON CHANTENAY— ^This strain
of our own growing has a deeper color and
the roots average almost one inch longer
than the regular Chantenay variety.

Our acclimated carrot seed will give you
better results. Pkts. 10c; oz. 20c; V4, lb.
60c; lb. $2.00.

CHANTENAY — This variety is a good
all-round carrot. The roots are very smooth,
stump-rooted and somewhat thicker at the
tops. It is early and produces immense
crops; records of 50 tons per acre have
been secured. It will stand more crowding
than other sorts. The best variety for ta-
ble use and very popular with canners and
dehydrating factories. On account of its
heavy production and superior quality it is
also grown for feeding.

Early Scarlet Horn — An early variety
with small tops and roots about three
inches long and rather top shaped. Valu-
able for very early crop out of doors. Col-
or, deep orange.

CORELESS, or Scarlet Nantes — The
roots are bright orange, 5 to 6 inches long
and very uniform. They have very small
core and are exceptionally tender and sweet.
The roots are rather slender, of even di-
ameter and of early maturity. Very de-
sirable for market, especially for bunching,
and also splendid for the home garden.

DanveFs Half Long — The standard stock
carrot, but we do not recommend it for
table use, as compared to the Chantenay.
It is a heavy yielder and is largely planted.
Our strain of it is extra good.

Oxheart — ^A favorite table sort. Yields
heavy crops of smooth short roots. A va-
riety that is easy to harvest.

SWEET CORN

The first requisite for success with corn is acclimated seed. Note those with star.
Culture — Prices paid for first early corn will pay the grower to take chances on early planting.
For this planting use 4 or 5 seeds per hill and cover one inch deep. Space hills 28 to 36 inches, and
rows SYo feet, allowing two stalks to the hill, or as some prefer and we think this gives the best re-
sults, plant 15 inches between hills, and thin to one stalk; this gives all the stalks an even show.
April 20 to May 1 is a good season for early corn; of coiu-se, depending on the weather. May 15th
to 25th is good for the later sorts, as they do not resist damp, cold weather so well as the early sorts.

Corn will not fill well unless the patch plant
should make the patch square, or nearly so. This
fertilizing the ears. Early corn may be planted in
Use 700 to 1000 pounds of Tankage or Potato

"GILL’S EARLY MARKET— This re-
markable first early corn of our own in-
troduction is now recognized as a leader
all over the Northwest. We developed this
strain from Portland Market through a
selection for earliness. We honestly believe
there is not another true sweet com in
existence so early as this variety, surely
none so large and of such high quality.
Our selections on this com are being con-
tinued year after year and today it is prac-
tically as large as Portland Market. It has
been grown in North Dakota, New York
and Maine and from each state we have
reports that it is the earliest and best
sweet com they have tried. It is 10 to 14
days earlier than Portland Market. The
immense ears are well filled with large,
sweet, plump, white grains set 12 to 14
rows to the cob. By planting this variety
you will beat all other varieties in your
neighborhood. On account of its extreme
earliness and large size, market gardeners
get very profitable prices. For earliest re-
sults, use plenty of fresh horse manure
and our general fertilizer. Pkt. 15c; V2 lb.
25c; Tb. 40c postpaid. E. or F., lb. 35c; 10
lbs. @ 30c lb.; 25 lbs. or more @ 25c lb.

"HOWLING MOB — In most sections of
the Northwest the Evergreen varieties are
too late of maturity to give satisfaction
and this variety is rapidly taking their
place. The ears are very large and^ filled
tightly with medium sized grains of pearly
whiteness. There are usually 12 to 16 rows
to the ear. The plants are six to seven feet
tall, strong and vigorous, producing two or
more ears; usually a few days later than
our Improved Golden Bantam. The grains
are very tender and sweet; in fact, we con-
sider it the sweetest of the white varieties.
Successions may be planted from May 15
to June 15. We are improving this variety
very much bv our careful seed selections.

Oregon Chantenay Carrots

"GILL’S PORTLAND MARKET— Intro-
duced by us twelve years ago, this is now

gether with its large, sweet, plump grains
of purest white, on well filled ears, make
it a ready seller on any market. The large
ears, often a foot in lengTh, mature very
even, and owing to the thin husks the
marketable ears are easy to detect. The

MUSK MELON

Culture — Melons require a light, loamy, rich soil in an early location. Plant 4 by 6 feet, giving
more room for larger varieties. Use 8 or 10 seeds to the hill; cover 1 to inches deep. When the
first leaves appear thiM to two plants. Turn the vines with the row to permit cultivation.

* GOLDEN CREAM — Tlie greatest money
maker for gardeners we have yet seen. Our
Yamhill Giant introduced last year proved
a remarkable success but we believe this
variety has a better appearance for mar-
ket. The fruit is rather long, oval and very
thick meated. The skin is smooth, without
ribs, and of a beautiful golden cream color
with plenty of lighter colored netting. The
flesh is a rich salmon and contrasted with
the beautiful skin makes a sensation when
placed on the table. This is an Oregon
production and has 15 years selection be-
hind it. The fruit matures very early and
melons weighing 8 to 12 pounds are not
uncommon. They are unusually Arm and
will stand shipping, while the quality is
the best of any large melon we have ever
seen. This melon produces very few seed.

ONIONS

Culture — A rich loam is best, fertilized with well rotted manure and potato fertilizer. Sow seed
in February or March if the condition of the ground and the weather will permit. Sow with drill in
rows 14 to 16 inches apart; cover half-inch deep. Hoe with wheel hoe as soon as they are up, but do
not more than scalp the surface, as onions do not stand deep cultivation. Thin them to about 8
plants to the foot. It requires about 3 to 4 lbs. of seed to the acre. Onions are peculiar, in that they
do well year after year on the same ground.

^SELECT OREGON YELLOW DAN-
VERS— This variety is largely planted
through the Northwest. The onions are
large, nearly globe shaped with small

JAPANESE GREEN ONION— We have
seen this wonderful green onion growing in
the garden of Japanese and its immense
size and good qualities appealed to us.
Upon investigating we found that they
grew this onion from seed. The seed is
planted in the spring and cultivated through
the summer. In late fall they are hilled up
with earth to bleach. The white meat of
the bleached stock is often one foot long
and one inch thick. They can be harvested
all winter. Pkt. 20c; 1^ oz. 50c.

EARLY VARIETIES

Gradus — A large, deep p-reen podded sort
popular with gardeners. It matures extra
early and is very productive.

*EARLY MORN — The peas and pods are
equal in size to the Telephone, and mature
along with Gradus. The peas are dark
green and very sweet, making them one of
the best for home use and canning. The
vines, which grow about four feet high, are
very strong and vigorous, and produce
heavy yields. We have a very large trade
in this variety and consider it one of the
best in our list.

* SURPRISE — New. Positively the ear-
liest wrinkled pea; fully as early as Alas-
ka. Vines 2 feet, pods about the size of
American Wonder and fully as sweet flav-
ored as that variety. Market gardeners
received fancy prices for these peas last
season, and they are enthusiastic about it.
7 to 10 days earlier than Gradus.

*Alaska, or Earliest of All — Extra early,
hardy, smooth seeded sort; 2V2 feet high.
Pkt. 15c; 1/2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c. E. or F., lb.
30c; 10 lbs. at 20c lb.

* Little Marvel — Superior to Am^erican
Wonder with larger pods and only a few
days later. Flavor fully as good. One of
the finest dwarf peas.

*LAXTONIAN — Enormous pods, well
filled on dwarf vines. We recommend this
new pea very highly. It is the ideal pea
for those who wish large pods on dwarf
vines. Peas extra sweet and dark green.

^THOMAS LAXTON — Similar in growth
to Gradus, but the pods are darker green
and square at the ends. Exceptionally rich
sv/eet flavor; four days later than Gradus
and yields heavier.

*American Wonder — This old popular
sort needs no description. Remarkably
sweet flavored and extra early.

SECOND EARLY VARIETIES

Dwarf Telephone — Strong plants 2V2 feet
high. Large, long pods containing 8 to 9
dark green peas of finest quality.

^Alderman (Dark Telephone) — Many
market gardeners object to the true Tele-
phone pea on account of its light green
color. In this, we have a pea the same type
but with larger and darker colored pods.
In quality unsurpassed. Vines strong and
vigorous, growing 4 to 5 feet tall and pro-
ducing immense crops.

SUTTON’S PERFECTION— .Height 2y2
feet. Vines exceptionally sturdy with very
large leaves. Long, broad pods of medium

POTATOES

Culture — Plant early kinds as early as the ground will work. Late varieties May 20 to
June 20. Rows 3% feet wide, 20 inches in row. Cut to one or two eyes.

We are often able to quote on certified seed potatoes. If interested write us. Certified seed
will produce 50 to 100% better crops and justifies the higher cost of seed.

^EARLIEST OF ALL— Undoubtedly as
early as any potato g^rown, and we consid-
er it the most desirable early market or
home garden potato. It is superior to the
Irish Cobbler which it somewhat resem-
bles, being a better yielder and of stronger
vitality. It has exceptional endurance and
is the best all round early potato.

*Snow — Heavy cropper of finest quality.
Nearly every potato grows perfect in
shape, roundish, slightly flattened, with
snow-white skin and flesh. Produces very
few unsalable potatoes. Can be planted
closer than the Burbank and still produce
good size tubers.

* Pride of Multnomah — Somewhat similar
to the Burbank, but has greater endurance
against drought and yields heavier.

^BRITISH QUEEN (So Called White
Rose) — An exceedingly vigorous grower
producing very heavy yields. We do not
know of a variety having so much vigor or
capacity for heavy production. The pota-
toes are shallow eyed, round oblong and
very uniform. The skin is white and qual-
ity quite good. It has great endurance and
should be planted early or second early to
secure a crop of nice smooth tubers.

^Netted Gem — ^Called by some the Rus-
set Burbank. Long shaped tubers, covered
with a fine netting. They are of splendid
texture and noted for baking qualities.

* Early Rose — ^The old favorite, true seed.

*Burbank — A standard and popular sort,

produces heavy yiolds on good soils.

^American Wonder — Similar in shape to
the Burbank, but eyes are slightly deeper
and skin is not quite so white. A very
heavy yielder. We have a good strain.

Other Varieties — We are located in a po-
tato growing section and have a wide ac-
quaintance, which enables us to sec m e
other good seed stocks. Write us regard-
ing any variety not listed.

PUMPKIN

Plant May 10 to 20 in rows 10 feet wide and 1
thinning to two good plants. Turn vines with the
plaster to the acre, plowing it in.

^ORANGE WINTER LUXURY— This im-
proved strain of our own introduction is
far better than the original. The skin, a
rich golden orang^e, is covered with a fine
netting while the meat is very thick, fine
grained and of rich golden yellow. It is by
far the best pie pumpkin. Simply cook it
done and it is ready for use in making pies.

SPENCER SWEET PEAS

Their easy culture, freedom of bloom, delightful fragrance and artistic appearance
combined with their splendid cut-flower qualities make them one of the most desirable
flowers for the general public.

Spring sowings should be made as early in the spring as the soil conditions permit.
Here in the Coast regions they can often be planted in February. They can also be
planted in trenches in November and with this method they will bloom very early in the
spring, in fact are usually in bloom for Decoration Day. The Spencer type is by far
the best, and we do not carry the Eckford types except in the Rainbow mixture, which
is partly made up from that type.

Gill Bros. Blue Ribbon Dahlias

Our Dahlias won first prize at Oregon State Fair 1922.

We are the largest dahlia growers west of the Mississippi River, and have estab-
lished a reputation for good, reliable stock that is true to name, and now fill orders for
dahlias all over the United States. Our soil produces solid, vigorous bulbs that are,
owing to their acclimation far superior to Eastern stock. We have several letters from
Eastern states which claim ouir bulbs did far better than their own stock.

DAHLIA ORDERS

Will be filled during April and May, but
may be sent to us at any time for booking,
and will be filled in the rotation received.
No dahlia orders will be filled after June 1,
except collections on back cover, which will
be sent up to June 15 if stock is unsold.
Orders for dahlias of $10 or more may
select 10 per cent of the amount, extra, in
dahlias as a premium.

DAHLIA GUARANTEE

We guarantee all the bulbs we send out
to grow and to be true to name. In case
of dahlias not growing they must be re-
turned to us by July 1, of the season when
purchased, with our labels attached. Some-
times bulbs are slow to sprout, but if at
the end of 20 days they have not done so,
remove the earth carefully from the bulb
and if still dormant, return it to us; we
can send you another at once; however, if
it reaches us too late for planting that
season, we will book the order for refilling
the season following.

Flowers considered untrue to name should
be sent to us by parcel post for verifica-
tion. Any extras we may include free in
orders are not subject to this guarantee.

PRICES

The prices on all Dahlias offered include
postage or express, which we prepay.

DAHLIA CULTURE

We publish a bulletin telling how to
plant, cultivate, fertilize and store dahlias.
This is sent free to all if requested and a
copy is included with each order of bulbs.

OUR INTRODUCTIONS FOR 1922-23

OUR NEW SHOW DAHLIA FOR 1923

PURPLE KING — ^A monster flower on tall, strong plants with long, erect stems. Long
quilled petals, closely set, resembling somewhat the formation of Grand Duke Alexis.
Color deep rich purple maroon. This show dahlia will becom*e very popular. $1.50.

OREGON (Cactus) — Introduced last year as Oregon 1925. The enthusiastic reports from
our customers who grew this last season indicate that it will become one of the most
popular cactus dahlias. The flowers are large and full centered and are carried on
long, strong stems. It is a good keeper and a wonderful cut flower. The half open
blooms remind you of an aster blossom. The plants are exceptionally vigorous and
the foliage is a beautiful deep green shaded with a black purple tint. The petals are
not incurved but have a peculiar side twist which gives the flower a very artistic ap-
pearance. The color is hard to describe, being a clear cut deep brilliant rose carmine
cerise. The color is entirely new and has caused a sensation wherever shown. The
color holds until the end of the season. Bulbs $7.50 each.

ROSE BEAUTY (Single) — ^A very large flower of great substance on strong erect stems.
Color deep rich rose. A splendid cut flower. 35c.

ARTISTIC (Peony)-— A splendid, long keeping cut flower produced freely on long erect
stems. Color white faintly flushed with lavender pink. Flowers of medium size. 50c.

DUFUR QUEEN (Decorative) — A giant massive flower, full to the center. Good stems
on strong vigorous plants. Color lemon, lightly suffused with salmon rose. 60c.

SILVER THAW (Peony) — ^The plants are tall and vigorous with dark green foliage. Im-
mense pure white flowers with long, straight, tapering petals. The stems are long
and erect. One of the finest white dahlias ever introduced. S2.50.

PORTLAND, OREGON

BEDDING GEM (Decorative)— The dwarfest dahlia we ever saw. It usually does not
exceed one foot in height. The plant resembles the potato in growth and the flow-
er stems rise from the foliage. They are medium size and orange scarlet. This dahlia
will become iRseful for edgings, beds and for borders. $*1.00.

WAR DANCE (Hybrid Cactus) — A gigantic flower, often 10 inches across; heavy and
massive, and carried on good stems. The strong vigorous plants produce an abund-
ance of blooms. The color is similar to Geshia, scarlet, tipped and marked with golden
yellow. This might be called the Geisha cactus. $1.50.

Our 1921 Introductions

SOLDIER BOY (Peony) — ^^A new peony dahlia of giant size and entirely distinct color.
The plants are strong and vigorous and loaded with blooms throughout the season.
Flowers nine inches across are not uncommon. The color on the face of the petals
suggest the name, being a very close approach to Khaki. The reverse of the petals are
a deep carmine rose. Many of the petals are twisted so the face of the blooms show
the combined colors. The stems are not rigid but are fairly strong. The strong fort
of this variety will be for garden decoration. $1.50.

DOMINIQUE (Peony) — ^A striking new vari gated sort which caused much comment by
visitors. We believe it is the best varigated peony yet introduced. The flowers are of
large size and the petals quite long, about two-thirds from the base being a rich
garnet maroon, the balance tipped pure white. The stems are long and erect and the
plants are very free flowering. A splendid cut flower. $1.00.

CORAL QUEEN (Peony) — An immense rather full flower of rather flat formation, com-
posed of long broad petals. Color, a beautiful coral shade, zoned with yellow in the
center of the flower. Vigorous, free flowing plants. Stems quite good. 75c.

PEACHES AND CREAM (Peony)— One of the daintiest flowers yet introduced, being
creamy yellow, softly toned with peach blossom-pink. The plants are rather tall but
bushy and produce freely of medium large flowers on good stems. 35c.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT (Decorative) — Tall, vigorous plants producing giant flowers
of orange scarlet on strong erect stems of good length. Good for cutting. $1.00.

SULPHUR KING (Decorative), 1921 — Gigantic blooms of clear sulphur yellow. Massive,
heavy flowers on good stems, produced freely. Vigorous plants. $1.00.

ELEGANT (H. C.) — ^This is an improved Wodan dahlia. The color is slightly different,
being a more decided shading of salmon.' The blooms are produced freely and are
carried erect on long stems, making it a splendid cut flower sort. $1.00.

MINNIE RIDER, Hybrid Cactus — A large flower on long, strong stems. The petals are
broad but rolled sharp at the points. Very perfect and full; color lavender in the cen-
ter opening petals but deepens to a rich rosy lavender on the older petals. This is
very popular and is suited for cutting. Each $2.50.

OUR OTHER INTRODUCTIONS

CITY OF PORTLAND (1918 Peony)— Beyond doubt one of the finest dahlias ever intro-
duced and we believe, the largest yellow dahlia in existence. The gigantic flowers
average 8 to 10 inches and flowers 13 inches in diameter have been produced. While
these flowers are immense, they are not coarse, but give a graceful artistic effect.
The plants are strong and vigorous, with beautiful deep green foliage, while the stems
are long, strong and erect, holding the giant flowers in an upright position. The color
is a clear, deep, rich golden yellow. The variety has made a sensation wherever ex-
hibited and we believe it is the finest yellow peony dahlia yet introduced. $2.50.

GARNET KING (1919 Peony) — An immense flower of bright deep garnet, carried on
good stems. Strong, vigorous, free flowering plants. $1.50.

ARMISTICE (Peony) — Giant pure white with good stems. Flowers of flattened forma-
tion; long, narrow, flat petals radiating from a conspicuous yellow pollen center. 50c.

JAMES C. GILL (Peony)— This variety and Marcella Gill are the two finest cut flower
sorts in our whole collection, and we doubt if they are equaled anywhere. Artistic
flowers of giant size are carried on extra long stems. The plants are medium height
and loaded with blooms all season. There are 4 to 5 rows of large, broad petals, the
color being a bright, rich golden orange marked and toned with scarlet. It is the
ideal cut flower, especially where autumn colors are needed for decorating. In lamp-
light the flowers assume a salmon pink shade. 75c.

MARCELLA GILL (Decorative)— The best cut flower dahlia for florists ever introduced.
The color is a delightful soft sea-shell pink, bright and attractive. It is far superior
to Delice and will produce three times the amount of blooms in a season. It is
among the earliest to bloom. The plants are dwarf while the stems are small, but
extra long, stiff and wiry. After cutting, the flowers outkeep any other variety. This
variety was the best seller of any cut flower dahlia in Portland, Ore., last fall. $1.00.

GLORIOUS (Peony) — Beautiful suffusion of cinnamon, apricot and buff. Large artistic
flowers on long erect stems. Free flowering, strong, vigorous plants. Each, 75c.

DISTINCTION (Decorative) — ^Strong vigorous grower, flowering freely. Large flowers
on long, erect stems; color white marked and tipped with rich violet red. Each $1.25.

WASCO BEAUTY (Cactus-Peony) — ^A remarkable dahlia which came as the result of
hybridizing with the Geisha. It is a stronger grower than its parent, and while much
different in form and color, it is equally as striking. The petals are long and slender,
much on the type of Philadelphia, but ttie flower is much larger, being of immense
size. The petals are bronzy red, marked and tipped with rich yellow. The long,
slightly incurved and irregular petals compose a distinct flower. Each, 75c.

productive. Stems long and erect and especially suited for cutting. Base of petals

white and variegated dahlias all on one plant. Some of the flowers were pure white

straight, upright stems. A good sized flower especially suited for cutting. 50c.

tion of the bloom is composed of the usual decorative petals, but the center of the

color is a delicate buff or fawn pink. Exceptionally free blooming. 50c.

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS

Fertilizers are divided into two distinct classes, organic and mineral. The organic
is represented by those fertilizers composed of blood, meat, bone, animal manures and
leaf mold, straw, etc. In the mineral class are Nitrate of Soda, Sulphate of Amonia,
Superphosphate, Potash, etc. Organic fertilizers are by far the best to use as they con-
tain much humus and feed the plants in a natural way while most of the mineral fer-
tilizers contain chemicals which are to certain degrees injurious to plant growth and they
should be used judiciously and price and analysis being equal, should not be used at all.

To those who use fertilizer in quantity we recommend the purchase of straight in-
gredients mixing them yourselves. Let us assist you with our suggestions. We believe
we can save you money on your fertilizer purchases. It pays to buy fertilizer of high
analysis as this gives a decided reduction in freight.

The analysis given will not vary with mixed brands but in the others the analysis
varies in different lots and we will advise regarding these when quoting.

ANALYSIS EXPLAINED. The figures in analysis are as follows: First given,
nitrogen; second phosphoric acid, third potash.

PUYALLUP 2-10-2. Especially prepared
for berries, use one-half ton per acre on
currants, gooseberries, strawberries, etc.,
and 1 ton per acre on logans and cane ber-
ries. This has given splendid results on
berries and is also very fine for vegetable
crops.

SPECIAL POTATO 2-10-4. Prepared es-
pecially for potatoes, onions and root crops,
also good for berries and general vegetable
crops.

CLARK’S ORCHARD 6-10-4. Especially
prepared for orchard and hop yards. Apply
one pound for each year of the tree’s age
up to 10 pounds. This organic fertilizer has
given splendid results in orchards and is
valuable in greenhouse work.

TANKAGE No. 1. Usually 3 to 5 nitro-
gen and 12< to 16 phosphoric acid. Contains
blood, meat and bone and mixed with pot-
ash will give a complete fertilizer at a rea-
sonable price. Valuable where quick action
is needed.

FISH OR SAKANA G to 8 nitrogen and
B to 15 phosphoric acid. Valuable for cel-
ery, cabbage, caulifiower, lettuce, etc. One
of the best organic fertilizers. It is rather
slow acting hence very valuable where a
strong, steady growth needs to be main-
tained.

SHEEP GUANO. Dry ground sheep ma-
nure. Usually 2-1-2. Contains much humus
and is a valuable fertilizer.

We sell large quantities of this and will
be glad to quote sack lots to car lots.

BONE MEAL. Usually 3-20-0. Slow act-
ing but popular for greenhouses and lawns.
Apply in fall or winter.

FERTILIZER

BLOOD MEAL. 14 to 16 nitrogen. Pref-
erable to Nitrate of Soda and very useful
where a quick strong growth is needed. A
valuable dressing for starting vegetable
plants also for feeding fiowers while in
bloom.

NITRATE OF SODA. A mineral fertil-
izer usually containing 14 to 15% nitrogen.
It leaves an injurious residue in the soil
and should be used judiciously.

SUPERPHOSPHATE. 16 to 17% phos-
phoric acid. Profitable for cerial crops; a
mineral fertilizer. Considering the low
price this is very valuable for many soils.

SULPHUR — ^Agricultural. Finely ground.
This is now recognized as a successful fer-
tilizer with alfalfa, corn, clover, etc.

SULPHATE OF AMONIA. Runs high in
nitrogen and is a better mineral form of
nitrogen than nitrate of soda.

POTASH, Muriate. We can supply Ger-
man and American makes. Ususally runs
50 to 57% pure.

POTASH, Sulphate. Better for potatoes
than Muriate of Potash.

LAND PLASTER or Gypsum. Our stock
runs high in sulphur. We will be glad to
submit samples and prices.

AGRICULTURAL LIME. Especially
suited for using on soils.

PEP FERTILIZER. In small packages
suited for small home gardens and fiower
beds, also suited for potted plants. It is
highly concentrated and should be used
carefully. Contains one half mineral and
one half organic. Analysis 6-10-4. Put up
in 5 lb. packages. Price postpaid up to and
including 3d zone, 80c. E. or F., 70c per
package.

SUGGESTIONS

ROOT CROPS. For potatoes, carrots, onions, radish, ets., use 750 to 1000 lbs. of
tankage or fish mixed with potash. The same amount of Special Potato can be used.

VINE CROPS. With cucumbers, squash, etc., use 1000 to 1500 lbs. Clark’s Orchard,
fish or tankage.

FOLIAGE VEGETABLES such as cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, spinach, etc., use
1000 to 1500 lbs. fish or tankage, mixed with potash. Blood meal is also valuable to ap-
ply during the season.

EDIBLE POD VEGETABLES. Use 750 to 1000 lbs. Potato or general per acre or
use tankage and fish with potash added. I^perphosphate will give good results.

TOMATOES, PEPPERS, ETC. Use 600 to 1000 lbs. Potato or Puyallup per acre.

SHRUBS, ROSES, ETC. Use bone or tankage also light application of blood during
the blooming season and when first planted.

LAWNS. Use 2 lbs. per square rod of bone meal or 3 lbs. of Potato Fertilizer.

FOR FORCING PLANTS. Use blood meal. Apply carefully as it is very strong.
