The Preparation and Care of a Lawn
A well cared for lawn adds more than any other one
thing to the attractiveness of the home grounds and
not only this, it increases the value of property by
much more than the mere expense of securing the lawn.
There are a few simple rules which, if followed con-
sistently, will be certain to bring good results.
The ground must first be thoroughly prepared by
draining, if necessary, and spade or plow to the depth
of 6 to 12 inches, according to the nature of the soil,
applying a liberal quantity of well decomposed manure,
bone meal or pulverized sheep manure, the latter we
recommend as being lasting in effect, not liable to burn
the grass and free from weeds. Clean the ground
thoroughly and rake perfectly smooth and level, as
much of the success depends upon this part of the
preparation. The seed should be sown on a calm day,
that it may be applied evenly, and at the rate of seventy
pounds per acre, or one pound is sufficient for 600
square feet. After the seed is sown the ground should
be rolled with a light roller or evenly tamped with the
back of a spade. The plot should be mowed every ten
days from May until September, using a sharp scythe in
preference to a mower until a close turf is formed.
Frequent mowing and rolling is necessary to maintain
a close, even turf. April and September are the best
months for sowing lawn seed.

Pulverized Sheep Manure
A well kept Vegetable Garden is an attractive feature of the home grounds
ORDER EARLY. Our customers would find it decidedly to their advantage to procure their seeds g
§§ early as possible after the receipt of catalogue, thus avoiding the rush of the planting season, and it fre- g
g quently happens that some stock from our own growing contracts, are exhausted early and replaced by the g
H best we can secure in the open market. g
SELECTION OF STOCK. We use every precaution in securing our stock and place our contracts, g
H both in this country and Europe, only with old, reliable growers who have long standing records of produc- M
|§ ingthe best in their lines. Conditions have changed very rapidly in the production of seeds, and this is g
g particularly true of many lines of Flower Seeds. Some of our regular growers extending their list of g
g items produced and owing to their persistent labor in selection and closer breeding, have improved strains M
g to a degree that is very noticeable. g
g IN ADDITION to our very complete collection of Vegetable and Flower and Lawn Seeds, we g
H stock Flowering Bulbs for Spring and Fall planting and many Fall Bulbs in pots and bowls prepared g
1 ready for blooming. Bulb Bowls, Pebbles and Hyacinth Glasses. Flower Pots we stock almost unlim- g
g ited assortment of sizes and styles. Plant Stakes and Labels. Insecticides and Fertilizers. Poultry m
§§ Supplies: Remedies Hoppers, Fountains, Leg Bands, Nest Eggs, Chicken Feeds, etc. Sergeant’s Dog g
g Remedies, Champion Dog and Puppy Biscuits. Bird Seeds. Basketry Supplies: Round Reeds No. 1 g
g to No. 8, Flat Reed, Wood Bases, round, oval and rectangular. Johnson’s Wood Dyes. Raffia in g
g natural and colors. g
LOCATION OF STORE. My store will be found on the northwest corner of Washington and g
g Eddy Streets, next to new Providence Biltmore Hotel, one block from Dorrance or Westminster Streets, g
M and within a short distance of the Union Railroad Station. §§
SEEDS BY MAIL. For the benefit of out-of-town buyers, I pay postage on all seeds ordered in g
g packets, ounces and one-fourth pounds. Add for prepayment of postage on large quantities at parcel g
M post rates, according to zone. §|

Sweet Peas
During the last ten years great improvement has been made in size and
beauty of this popular flower and the development is still in progress. New
colors, forms and types are being brought out by the Sweet Pea growers
every year, but we will confine our list here to the best tried sorts, and we feel confident that we can take care of the
wants of our customers with the stock we carry.
The proper time to spade garden for Sweet Peas is in the Fall, as the longer the soil remains in the rough state the
better. Give a liberal dressing of well rotted stable manure, ground bone and a dusting of lime. Spade to a depth of 6
or 8 inches and allow soil to remain in the rough without chopping down. When sowing seed see that the soil.is firmly
trodden down, as Sweet Peas require.not only a deep soil but a firm one. Seed should always be sown early in Spring 1 inch
deep and when plants are well up thin to 2 to 4 inches apart. Many thin 6 to 9 inches apart and when 3 or 4 inches high
pinch out tops to start branching. Support should be given early before plants get twisted. When hot, dry weather
begins, see that the plants are well mulched and well watered. Look out for green aphis and keep clean by spraying with
solution of tobacco extract. Care must be taken to keep flowers picked, as the forming of seed pods will stop blooming.
In giving a fist of the Sweet Peas we have confined ourselves to those sorts that have been tested as the strongest
growers, and from the various shades and colors have selected those which are the clearest and the truest.

“Victory” Ball Bearing
Lawn Mower
The ball bear-
ing in lawn mow-
ers is the latest
and probably the
greatest improve-
ment in their
manufacture. The
“Victory” is con-
structed with 10-
inch skeleton rim
driving wheels,
6 34 -inch cutting
cylinder with five knives. Is a strong and powerful, easy running
mower.
For those who mow their lawns frequently we advise the use of
five blade machines, as they leave the lawn in a very smooth con-
dition. 16-inch $20.00, 18-inch, $22.00, 20-inch $24.00.
Roller Lawn and Golf Mowers
On lawns where exceptionally fine cutting is a necessity, there
are no mowers equal to these. They cut smoothly, effectually
doing away with that wavy appearance so often seen on a freshly
cut lawn. They will also roll down a new lawn and protect it
against upheavals caused by dampness, ants and other insects.
These are the only mowers that will cut borders properly and
without danger of cutting the sod. Price, 18-inch, $31.00.
Derby Lawn Mower
A Superior, Medium-Priced Machine.
This mower is built to accommodate those who have only limited
city lots to mow. And while of lighter construction than our
“Victory,” in quality of materials we consider it equal.
14-inch, $15.00; 16-inch, $16.50; 18-inch, $18.00.

THE ORIGINAL
Buttermilk
STARTING FEED
With a bag of Conkey’s Buttermilk Starting Food on hand you
are always sure that you have enough good buttermilk ready for
your chicks. It contains pure buttermilk reduced to dry powdered
form, with its valuable lactic acid that helps the delicate digestive
organs of the little chick. Mixed with it is a combination of clean,
wholesome grains, a ration balanced just right for baby chicks.
2}/2 lb. 20c., 5 lb. 40c., 10 lb. 75c., 25 lb. $1.75.
CONKEY’S BUTTERMILK GROWING MASH. It is not
enough simply to start a chick right — it is equally essential to
help it to maturity if you want to make money. After the eighth
week the necessity for a bone-and-muscle building diet becomes
paramount. Conkey’s Buttermilk Growing Mash was prepared
with this in mind — to avoid losses from underfeeding or over-
feeding improperly-balanced rations. Bag, 10 lbs., 65c.

Mulford Cultures contain pure, tested strains of active, vigorous nitrogen-fixing bacteria, for inoculating
seeds of legumes or soil.
Legumes offer the best known means of maintaining soil fertility and rejuvenating over-cropped
and wornout fields. They add both humus and nitrogen to your soil and thus increase your yield of wheat
and other non-legume crops.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture and many State Agricultural Experiment Stations recommend
inoculation of legumes with nitrogen-fixing bacteria to induce a prompt “catch” and increase your yield.
Mulford Cultures are prepared for
Alfalfa (Lucerne) Red Clover Cow Peas Vetch Garden Peas Lespedeza
Crimson Clover Alsike Clover Soy Beans Velvet Beans Garden Beans Beggar Weed
Sweet Clover Bur Clover Peanuts Sweet Peas Lima Beans and Others
Always specify on your order what crop you want to inoculate, as there is a different strain of bacteria for
each legume.
PRICES:
5-Acre Size, $5.00 (A Dollar per Acre) Small Size (supplied only in 4 varieties,
1-Acre Size $1.50 for Garden Peas, Garden Beans, Lima
-Acre Size 75 Beans and Sweet Peas) $0.35
