Wood’s Lawn Grasses
To Make a Lawn
Start the lawn as early as possible to give the grass a chance to become
well established before the spring growth of weeds.
Remember when making a lawn that it is to last for years, and be an ornament
to the home, so give plenty of time and care to preparation before the seeds are
sown. Several weeks before sowing dig the soil deeply, break up the lumps,
apply either Sheep Manure or Standard Grass and Lawn Fertilizer and rake the
top soil; at intervals of ten days or two weeks rake the surface to destroy the
weeds, and before sowing have the surface as fine as a rake will make it. Sow
half the seeds, then sow the other half at right angles to the first sowing — this
gives an even distribution. After sowing, rake lightly so as not to cover the
seeds too deep — covering with a roller is better — small seeds cannot germinate if
planted too deep ; an eighth of an inch is about right. Do not put stable manure
on your lawn, as it adds to the many weeds already in the soil, and if not well
broken up the lumps of manure will smother the young grass.
Weeds and Coarse Grasses spring up naturally in all soils. After a soaking
rain these can easily be pulled out and a few seeds scattered over the lawn to fill
in the bare spots.
Write for circular, “Special Grasses for Lawns and Golf Courses.”
Renewing Old Lawns
A lawn can be kept thick and flourishing if at intervals the soil is stirred with
a sharp rake and more seeds sown. This should be done just after the grass has
been cut, or during a rainy spell. If rolled immediately after sowing the seeds
will be better covered. Every spring and fall fresh seeds should be sown over
the lawn to fill in bare spots and thicken the growth.
Wood’s Evergreen Lawn Grass
1 lb. sows 250 square feet; 90 to 100 lbs. sow an acre
Our Evergreen Lawn Grass is a mixture of grasses that are adapted to lawn
making, and contains none of the coarse grasses nor those that grow in tufts or
clumps. No one grass makes an ideal lawn grass, so we have put into our Ever-
green a well-balanced mixture of grasses that are at their best during different
months of the year, will give a beautiful green growth at all seasons, and will
make a rich deep green, velvety lawn in as short a time as possible. For years
we have experimented with various grasses and combinations of grasses that are
suited to lawn making and offer a lawn grass mixture that will give a thick and
luxuriant turf, provided you follow the instructions given above and give your
lawn the care and attention it deserves-.
In Virginia and further north, in the westerly section of the Carolinas and
further west sow Wood’s Evergreen Lawn Grass; in other parts of the South
Wood’s Dixie Lawn Grass will be found more satisfactory. By mail postpaid,
lb. 60 cts.; 5 lbs. $2.55; 10 lbs., $4.85; 25 lbs., $11.60; 50 lbs., $22.75.
Not prepaid, lb. 50c; 5 lbs., $2.35; 10 lbs., $4.50; 50 lbs., $21.50; 100 lbs., $42.00.
Permanent Lawn Grass
1 lb. sows 250 square feet; 50 to 60 lbs. sow an acre
Where a lawn and grazing are to be combined, such as in parks or large places,
where special attention cannot be given to the lawn, we recommend our Perma-
nent Lawn Grass. It is composed of hardy perennial robust growing grasses
that will make a turf that will stand harder usage than the smaller lawn receives.
It is a well-balanced blend that will give a permanent lawn on widely different
soils and varying conditions, and will stand hot, dry weather. By mail postpaid,
1 lb., 50 cts.; 5 lbs., $2.10; 10 lbs., $3.95; 25 lbs., $9.35; 50 lbs., $18.25.
Not prepaid, lb., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.90; 10 lbs., $3.60; 50 lbs., $17.00; 100 lbs.,
$33.00.
Shady Park Lawn Grass
In nearly all lawns there are shaded spots, under trees or near the house, where
it is hard to get a satisfactory growth. Shady Park Lawn Grass is prepared
especially for such situations and will produce a thick growth that will blend
nicely with the grass growing in other parts of the lawn. By mail postpaid,
lb., 65c; 5 lbs., $2.75; 10 lbs., $5.15; 25 lbs., $12.35; 50 lbs., $24.25.
Not prepaid, lb., 55 cts.; 5 lbs., $2.50; 10 lbs., $4.80; 50 lbs., $23.00; 100 lbs.,
$45.00.
White Dutch Clover for Lawns
Makes a small, close, compact growth, covering the ground like a carpet. Sow
either in the spring or fall. When sown by itself, sow 5 to 6 pounds per acre ; it is
better, however, sown in mixture with other grasses.
By mail postpaid, lb. 75 cts.; 5 lbs. $3.40; 10 lbs. $6.35.
Not prepaid, lb., 65cts.; 5 lbs., $3.15; 10 lbs., $6.00
Wood’s Dixie Lawn Grass
1 lb. sows 250 square feet; 90 to 100 lbs. sow one acre
This mixture is the result of a close and intimate study of grasses suited to
lawn making and such as are adapted to Southern soils and climate. Every
grass suitable for lawn making will not stand the extreme heat and drought so
often experienced in the South, so in selecting grasses for this mixture we have
taken only those that will give a velvety green lawn under the most trying condi-
tions of summer heat and drought when lawns often become brown and parched.
In the easterly section of the Carolinas, and throughout the other states of the
far South sow Wood’s Dixie Lawn Grass; in Virginia and further north and in
the westerly section of the Carolinas and further west sow Wood’s Evergreen
Lawn Grass. By mail postpaid, lb., 60 cts.; 5 lbs., $2.55; 10 lbs., $4.65; 25
lbs., $11.10; 50 lbs., $21.75.
Not prepaid, lb., 50 cts.; 5 lbs., $2.30; 10 lbs., $4.30; 50 lbs., $20.50; 100 lbs.,
$40.00.
Other Grasses for Lawn Making
A properly proportioned mixture of grasses is better for lawns than a single
grass, but should you prefer a single grass, or would rather make up your own
mixture, the following grasses, all suitable for lawn making, will be found offered
in the grass seed section of this catalog: Kentucky Blue and Red Top or Herds
Grasses on page 58 ; Bermuda Grass on page 57 ; Carpet Grass, Italian and Peren-
nial Rye Grasses, and Red, Hard and Sheep Fescues on page 59.
Wood’s High Grade Sheep Manure
A pure natural manure that will give quick results on lawns, roses and pot
plants. It is a well-balanced plant food that will promote a rapid and steady
growth. It is dried and pulverized, clean and easily handled, no weeds, straw
and refuse. Do not use stable manure on your lawn — it is disagreeable to handle,
is unsightly, but worse still, it fills the ground with weeds that will be hard to
get rid of, that are naturally of stronger growth than grasses, and will choke out
the grass if allowed to reniain and spread, besides making the lawn unsightly.
On new lawns apply 10 lbs. to 100 square feet; as a top dressing 10 lbs. to 200
square feet.
Not prepaid, 25-lb. bag, 85 cts.; 50-lb. bag., $1.50; 100-lb. bag, $2.75; 500
lbs., $13.00; ton, $48.00.
Wood’s High Grade Poultry Manure
Among the natural manures — horse, cow, pig, etc. — poultry manure contains
the greatest amount of plant food and organic matter that can be assimilated by
growing plants. It is one of the safest and most dependable forms of plant food,
very soluble and readily available for quick results. It is an ideal fertilizer for the
lawn and for flower beds. Apply 8 pounds to 100 square feet.
Not prepaid, 25 lbs. $1.00; 50 lbs. $1.60; 100 lbs. $3.00; 500 lbs. $13.50; ton $50.

What Do You Want?
Every man must be the judge of what he wants. Oscar
Wilde once said: “The cynic is one who knows the cost of
everything and the value of nothing.” If, when buying a cul-
tivator, he looks for a cheap
tool, one on which the cast-
ings are liable to break any
moment, or the teeth wear
out quickly, he certainly can
get it. He didn’t know that
he really was looking for a
tool that would behave that
way; but when looking for
something “cheap” that is
usually what he gets. In the
end he pays more for it in
lost temper and lost time
than if he had bought the
most expensive good tool.
To an even greater degree,
the same principle applies to
seeds — if you want cheap
seeds that have no pedigree
just because they are cheap,
you certainly can buy them —
but not from us. Seeds that are sold on price alone have
nothing but price to commend them, and are dear at that.
Price alone means nothing; otherwise there would be no cars
but flivers and no good roads. Wood’s Seeds must have
quality, otherwise they would not be good enough to sell to
those who entrust their business to us. But we are not high-
priced seedsmen. We have made our prices in this cata-
log as reasonable as possible.
After all, the real question
when buying seeds is not
“What do they cost?” but
rather “How much value
have they?”
We maintain a very thor-
ough system of testing Wood’s
Seeds, so you can be assured
that every lot of seeds we
send you is of strong germi-
nation. We do this for your
protection and for our own,
for we know that unless we
send you seeds that grow we
cannot hope to do business
with you again. We like to
regard our business as one of
confidence between the plant-
ers and ourselves, and will do
our utmost to see that your
confidence in Wood’s Seeds and in us is undisturbed.
We wish your a very prosperous and happy New Year.
Very sincerely yours,
January 1, 1926. T. W. WOOD & SONS.

Seeds — While we use great care, both
Jccua for our own and our customers'
interest, to supply and furnish the best seeds that it is possible
to obtain, there are so many conditions — weather and other
causes — affecting the growth of seeds and the out-turn of crops,
that it must be distinctly understood that all our seeds are sold
under the conditions in regard to non-warranty, which have been
generally adopted by the seed trade as follows:
"We give no warranty, express or implied, as to description,
quality, productiveness or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs
or plants we send out, and will not be in any way responsible
for the crop.”
This does not mean that we lack confidence in Wood’s seeds.
We offer you the best seeds because it is the fair thing to do
and because we want to stay in business and grow. But we can-
not control planting and cultural methods and weather and soil
conditions, all of which affect the outturn of crops. N.o respon-
sible seedsman will warrant his seeds.

Fluctuation in Prices — Some time must necessarily elapse
between the writing and printing of
this catalog and the time it reaches you. In the meantime the
market prices of some varieties, particularly field seeds, may
have changed. As far as possible, these price changes will be
printed in our CROP SPECIAL, a copy of which, quoting current
prices, will be sent you free on request. At any time we will
be glad to quote you firm prices, or we will fill your order at
the lowest prevailing prices, whether higher or lower than as
printed in this catalog. If prices are lower, you get the benefit
of the decline; if higher, we will, of course, be compelled to
charge the prevailing price at the time the order is received.

Wood’s New Varieties and Specialties
No. 256. Honey Ball Cantaloupe
Once in a while we
hear some one say
that the flavor of the
Honey Dew Melon is
too “heavy.” This
cannot be said of
Honey Ball, for al-
though the sugar
content is high, the
flavor is perfectly
delicious and with-
out the “heaviness”
some object to in
Honey Dew. Besides
its delightful flavor,
it will keep for
nearly three weeks
without spoiling.
You can either leave
them on the vine till
fully ripe, or you can
pull them early and
store them. In either
case they are at their
best when the blos-
som end becomes
soft or gives easily
, to pressure; they are
then perfectly ripe and make a most delightful dish Their keep-
ing quality adapts them splendidly for shipping; they ship as
well as any other melon and do not bruise easily.
Honey Ball is a cross between the Honey Dew and a perfectly
round, thickly netted melon known as Texas Cannonball It is
earlier than the Honey Dew and about a week later than' Rocky
Ford, but slightly larger. The vines continue to bear after
other cantaloupes are gone. There is probably no melon that
will stand hot weather better, nor one that is as little affected bv
long continued dry weather. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.- M lb 90
cts.; lb. $3.00 postpaid. *
No. 247. Extra Early Hanover Cantaloupe “P®anata*
loupe in cultivation, ripening fully ten days ahead of the
Bocity Ford. Notwithstanding its extreme earliness, it makes
a large melon, round, slightly flattened at the ends and well
netted. The flesh is green, thick and can be eaten to the very
thin skin. TV e are safe in saying that in earliness Extra Early

Wilt Resistant Tomatoes
More than a hun-
dred thousand tons
of tomatoes is the
loss caused by to-
mato wilt in the
South every year,
and the loss is in-
creasing year by
year. Wilt is a fun-
gus that lives in the
soil and invades the
plant through its
roots. When dis-
eased tomato vines
are plowed under
they only serve to
increase the infec-
tion. In the early
stages of the dis‘-
ease the leaves curl;
later they turn yel-
low, beginning at
the bottom of the
plant which slowly
dies, usually about
the time the fruits
are half grown. No
amount of spraying
will do any good, the only means of controlling wilt is to grow
wilt resistant varieties.
No. 421. Norton Wilt Resistant — Norton w a s developed
from the Stone, ripens at
the same season, and can be classed as a wilt resistant Stone,
but a more abundant bearer and the fruits are more solid. It
yields a heavy crop of large smooth solid red fruits that ripen
slowly, therefore is a good keeper and a good shipper; it is
also remarkably drought resistant. An excellent tomato for
the home garden, for canning and for the late market. Fkt. 10
cts.; oz. 50 cts.; % lb. $1.60; lb. $6.00.
No. 429. Norduke Wilt Resistant ~T.h e. Nl °rduke repre-
sents the best effort of
the United States Department of Agriculture in wilt-resistant
tomatoes. Not as early as Marvel nor as late as Norton, and
makes large, smooth red fruits that are borne in great abund-
ance. It ripens more quickly than Norton, so does not ship as
well, but is a fine tomato for the home garden and for canning.
Splendid crops of Norduke have been grown in wilt-infested
fields where the entire crop of non-wilt resistant tomatoes
was entirely killed by wilt. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; V4 lb. $1.60:
lb. $6.00.
No. 407. Wood’s Earliest Prolific Squash —1 1 1 J ° u
1 want the
very earliest squashes. Wood’s Earliest Prolific is the only
squash to plant. It is fully ten days earlier than the next
earliest, but its greatest merit is the increased amount of
flesh because the scallops are not as pronounced; they are
easier to prepare and with less waste, and they are thicker
from the stem to blossom end and not flattened as in ordinary
varieties. Two squashes contain as much flesh as three of
other kinds. Bush form, about two feet high, a vigorous
grower and an abundant yielder. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; % lb.
40 cts.; lb. $1.35 postpaid.
Wood’s Dixie Corn
An exceptionally well-bred corn — one that we believe will give
an> one who plants it a materially increased corn yield. It
represents years of painstaking work by one of the most success-
tul corn breeders in Virginia, who bred it for depth of grain,
small cob and as a consistent bearer of two or more ears to the
stalk. The ears run 10 inches and over in length. 7Vz inches in
circumference, carry 16 to 20 rows of corn ^ inch deep on a cob
not over 1 H inches in diameter. These measurements were made
on a large number of average sized ears. The ears are well filled
out at both ends, the tip being practically covered and the grains
?et close on the cob. The depth of grain to size of cob gives an
exceptionally good proportion of grain to cob. which, together
with the fact that for several years it has cosistently yielded
wo or more ears to the stalk, gives a good idea of the increased
corn yield possible by planting this well-bred variety. By mail

The Valencia Peanut originated along the shores of the Medi-
terranean Sea, near Valencia, Spain. In order to have planting
stock of the finest type, we have imported them direct, and have

stock. Usually we find as many pods with three nuts as w'th

nearly as large as the Early Ram’s Horn Black Eye; very sweet
and tender, in this respect excelling any edible pea, with the
possible exception of Gallavant, which, however, is a distinct
type. As a table pea, we do not believe it can be surpassed. It
is about two weeks earlier than Virginia Black Eye and some-
what earlier than Early Ram’s Horn Black Eye; very prolific,

particularly to market growers because of the uniformly high
prices paid for the first black-eye peas on the market. The

ties that make coarse central stems, the Laredo has many slen-
der branches and the plants are leafy, both of which go to
make an ideal bean hay. As a fine quality hay maker, it stands
second to none. In a six-year test it averaged lVi tons to the
acre. It is particularly adapted to sections where wilt and
nematode are prevalent, as it has proved resistant to these
troubles. It is medium in maturity, is a good yielder of beans,
and has an advantage over many other varieties in that they
do not shatter in the fall. By mail postpaid, qt. 50 cts.; Vi peck

ASPARAGUS
Culture. — Succeeds
well in any good
rich soil, but pre-
fers a light warm
soil. Soak the seeds
for 24 hours; plant 2
inches deep in drills
2 feet apart. When
well up. thin out to
3 inches apart and
give frequent and
thorough cultiva-
tion. The roots
can be transplanted,
either at one or two
years old, either in
the fall or spring.
After the cutting
season is over spray
with Bordeaux mix-
ture to control rust:
put into the spray
mixture Paris green
or arsenate of lead
to kill the asparagus
beetles.
An ounce will
plant a row 50 feet
long: 2 pounds will
make enough roots
to set an acre.
Ho. 3. WASHUJG-
TON BUST RE-
SISTANT. — A
heavy yielding,
rust-resistant as-
paragus developed
— by the United
States Department of Agriculture: produces extra large,
straight, luscious stalks with firm tips. No other variety is
as free from rust.
No. 5. GIANT ARGENTEUIL. — In earliness and size of stalk this
is a most superior asparagus. Very tender whether grown as
green asparagus or when earthed up to blanch.
No. 4. PALMETTO. — A very early and prolific variety, producing
an abundance of large, thick, very tender stalks.
ASPARAGUS ROOTS
CULTURE. — Dig or plow cut a trench 15 to 18 inches deep,
put in plenty of well-rotted manure, covering it with a few
inches of soil, then set the roots 1% to 2 feet apart and cover
with 4 inches of soil. In the fall, cut off and burn the top growth,
plow or throw down the earth and give a good application of
stable manure. Early in the spring fork this in and apply
ground animal bone. If white asparagus is wanted draw earth
around the stalks as they grow. Do not continue cutting too
long, as this exhausts the plants. 100 roots plants about 15x50
feet; 5,000 to 7,000 will plant an acre.

Bush or Snap Beans
Green Podded Varieties
Pifty pounds may be
ordered at the 100-pound
price.
CULTURE. — Beans are
sensitive to both cold and
wet, so do not plant till
the ground is warm. To
have a continuous supply
plant every two weeks till
the middle of August; fur-
South they may be
planted even later. Make
the rows 2 to 3 feet apart,
drop the beans 3 inches
apart and cover 1% to 2
inches deep. Give frequent
but shallow cultivation up
time, not
never when
are wet. Plant
loamy soil that
quickly. One
plants 60 feet; 75
will plant an acre.
14. Giant String-
Green Pod
— Exceptionally fine for
either home use or mar-
ket; ranks among the
earliest yet in quality
has no superior. The
pods are round, 5 to 6
inches long, meaty,
perfectly stringless, and
are borne continuously
for weeks.
u r p e e’s
Green Pod
— One of the most relia-
ble productive beans in our list. Early and hardy, pods round
perfectly stringless, tender and brittle, and of the highest
quality.
No. 17. Stringless
Green Refugee
— A stringless type
of the old Refugee
or 1000 to 1. which
was very stringy.
Fine for late plant-
ing, pickling and can-
ning. The bearing
season is longer and
it is more prolific
than the earlier
kinds. The round
pods are 5 inches
long, tender, brittle,
entirely stringless
and of splendid qual-
ity.
No. 19. Tennessee
Green Pod
— A favorite wherev-
er grown and in some
parts of the South
preferred to all other
kinds. Y i e 1 d s the
longest and largest
pods of any bush
bean, often 6 to
7 inches long, flat
and somewhat irregu-
lar in shape but of
exceptionally fine fla-
vor and the very best quality.
Tennessee Green Pod Beans.
No. 13. Bountiful or Early Six Weeks t°huerrej^t
a better early flat-podded green stringless bean than Bountiful,
whether grown for home use or for market. The rich green
pods are 5 to 6 inches long, broad, thick, meaty, meltingly ten-
der and with scarcely a trace of string. One of the hardiest
beans, and if left to ripen makes a fine winter bean.
No. 10. Extra Early
Red Valentine
— The most generally
grown green podded
bean. A thoroughly re-
liable variety that more
nearly satisfies the de-
mand for a general pur-
pose bean than any other
sort. It is disease re-
sistant, does well on any
kind of soil and in un-
favorable seasons is
more certain to bear a
good crop than most any
other green podded
bean. Unfortunately for
the good reputation of
Red Valentine, some of
the cheap strains bear
flat pods. Our strain is
carefully bred, is round
podded, the plant is
healthy, erect in growth
and is a splendid bearer.
The pods are 4% to 5
inches long, fleshy, crisp,
tender and free of fibre.
No. 11. Black
Valentine —The hardiest
of all beans;
will stand more frost
than any other sort. On
this account particular-
ly recommended for mar-
ket growers. The pods
are long, straight, very
handsome; are produced
very profusely and pre-
sent a very attractive
appearance. An ideal
bean for the earliest
market.

Bush or Snap Beans
Yellow or Wax Podded Varieties
Fifty pounds may be
ordered at tlie XOO-pound
price.
No. 26. Rustless Golden Wax
A vigorous wonderfully productive bean
of excellent quality. Its unusual vigor
of growth causes it to throw out long
tendrils which at first give it the appear-
ance of a running bean, but it later as-
sumes the true bush form. This vigorous
growth also accounts for its wonderful
yield and its long bearing season. The
handsome pods are uniformly large, 4%
to 5 inches long, strictly stringless, free
of fibre, fleshy, very brittle and tender,
also makes a good bean to dry for win-
ter use.
No. 30. Currie’s Rust Proof Wax
An abundant bearer of crisp, tender,
stringless almost rust proof pods, 5% to
6 inches long, straight and of a beautiful
golden color; comes early and presents
a most attractive appearance. A vigorous
grower, very hardy and unusually pro-
ductive. A favorite with market growers.
Pencil Pod Black Wax.
Rustless Golden Wax.
No. 33. Surecrop Stringless Went
Resembles Currie’s Rust Proof but even
hardier, more rust proof, and stringless
at practically all stages of growth. The
rich, yellow, thick and meaty pods meas-
ure 7 to IV2 inches long, more than half
an inch wide and nearly as thick, and are
produced in great abundance. Very early;
the vines are strong and vigorous. Pro-
ductiveness is one of its strongest points.
Surecrop Stringless Wax is one of the
biggest yielding of all the wax beans, and
has the advantage of being very early.
In hardiness it probably excels all other
wax beans, a distinct advantage where
early planting is practiced. In many re-
spects Surecrop Stringless Wax ranks
among the best of the wax podded
varieties.
Round Pod Brittle Wax.
No. 29. Round Pod Brittle Wax
If splendid quality made a bean popular
this should be our best seller among wax
beans. It is a handsome midseason wax
bean; a profuse bearer of meaty, string-
less, tender round pods 5% to 6 inches
long; a fine bean in every way for the
home garden and for home canning.
Quite hardy and very prolific; it would
be hard to imagine a more thoroughly
satisfactory entirely stringless wax bean
for the private garden.
Nn 2ft Ppnril Port RIar'L- Wav — The best strain of black wax beans and has all
pio. 40. rencii rod mack Wax the good qua]ities that go to make a first-class
bean for the home garden and nearby market. The pods are 6 to 7 inches long,
round and of a uniform rich yellow color; tender, absolutely stringless, very brittle,
fleshy, exceedingly fine grained and without fibre. It is the finest strain of Black

Pole or Cornfield Beans
Pole or Cornfield
Beans.
CUIiTTXRE. — Pole beans are more sensitive to
cold than the bush kinds, and should not be
planted before the ground is warm — two to three
weeks later than bush beans. Set poles 6 to 8
feet long, 3 to 4 feet apart, in 4-foot rows and
plant five or six beans 2 inches deep around each
pole. They may also be planted in the cornfield
and allowed to run up the stalk. More trouble-
some to grow than bush beans, but they are of
better quality and bear longer and more pro-
fusely. One pound will plant 100 hills; 30 pounds
to the acre.
No. 45. Nancy Davis or Striped Creaseback
— A vigorous and productive bean that comes
early, bears quantities of fleshy pods nearly 8
inches long and so round and fat as to be dis-
tinctly creasebacked. A fine bean for either
the home garden or market, and particularly
fine for growing in corn. Not as early as some
varieties but of extra good quality and stay in
condition for use as snaps longer than any pole
bean.
No. 48. Fat Horse or White Creaseback
— One of the earliest and at the same time one
of the most productive pole beans, bearing
round, fleshy pods in large clusters. The seeds
are pure white, giving it additional value as
a shell-bean for winter use.
No. 50. Cut Short or Cornfield — May be used
as snaps,
shelled green or dried for winter use. The
meaty pods are 4 inches long and crowded
with beans. A good bean for the small garden
and often planted in corn, making good crops
without poles.
No. 51. Lazy — One of the most popular
J either for snaps, shell
beans, or dry beans for winter use. The pods
(5 to 7 inches long) are borne in large clusters,
long, broad, thick, fleshy and entirely string-
less. Flavor rich and buttery. It is sometimes
called White Cranberry Bean.
50 lbs. of a variety of beans may be ordered
at the 100-lb. prioe.
No. 46. October or Horticultural
(Wren’s Egg or Cranberry). — The pods are 6%
to 6 inches long; can be used as snaps, for
shelling when green, or dried for winter use.
A splendid bean for baking. It is particularly
well adapted for cool localities and where the
season is short.
No. 47. Kentucky Wonder or Old
Hnmocloari — The most popular and most
nomeHeaa generally grown of all the pole
beans. The long pods, often 9 or 10 inches
long, are borne in large clusters from the
top to the bottom of the pole. Nearly round,
crisp and tender. If gathered as they mature
they continue bearing throughout the season.
No. 52. Golden Cluster Wax jeyd
hardy and continues in bearing for a long sea-
son. Pods, 6 to 8 inches long, are borne in clus-
ters, are broad, thick, fleshy, tender and of the
best flavor. The beans are white and make an
excellent dry bean for winter.
Ma Scarlet — Useful as a vege-
ino. oo. acariei nunners table and for orna_
mental purposes, producing sprays of bright
scarlet flowers.
Bush Lima Beans
Small
Varieties
COXTT7RE. — Lima beans are not as hardy as snap beans and should not be planted
before the ground is warm and frost is over. Plant bush limas in 3-foot rows, dropping
3 beans 15 inches apart in the row, eyes downward. For the tall varieties, set 6 to 8-foot
poles firmly in the center of the hills 3 feet apart in 4-foot rows before the seeds are
planted. Cover the beans 1% inches deep; cultivate only when the vines are dry. One
pound of Wilson, Fordhook, Burpee's, Ford’s Mammoth, Carpinteria and Large White
Limas will plant 60 hills; 60 pounds to the acre. One pound of the smaller seeded
varieties will plant 100 hills; 30 pounds to the acre.
for winter use. We do not hesitate to
No. 37. Wood’s Prolific Bush Lima
— Since we Introduced this fine bean sev-
eral years ago, it has so rapidly grown
in popular favor that our sales far ex-
ceed all other bush lima varieties. It is a
distinct and valuable improvement over
the original bush lima, the beans being
larger and thicker and there are more
beans to the pod; makes a larger growth
— so much so, that at first it seems as if
it would put out runners. It is, however,
of the true bush form. It is a larger vield-
er than other bush limas, being practically
loaded down with pods, which are borne
from early in the season continuously
till frost. Also valuable as a shell bean
recommend it as in every way the best
and most prolific of all the bush lima
varieties. We give especial attention to
the selection and growing of this bean,
making special selections for seed stocks
from plants which show largest yields.
No. 38. Henderson’s Bush Lima
— The original dwarf or bush butter bean,
a dwarf type of the Small Pole Lima or
Butter Bean. Valuable for its extreme
earliness, yet it continues to set pods
right up to frost. Of the true bush type
growing 18 to 20 inches high; very pro-
ductive and a sure cropper; a fine bean
to dry for winter use.

Bush Lima Beans ^fties
At WJlcor* RiicVi 1 ima — The Wilson is the very latest improvement in the large
*±1. wilbtm dusu Apulia ^ype Qf bush lima beans. We have reproduced a photo-
graph of a single plant to show' how wonderfully it yields — more than twenty pods can
be counted on one side of the plant. These pods will average more than five inches long
and are filled with large, buttery beans that for flavor are not surpassed by any large
lima beans. The plant is strong and holds the pods well off the ground, preventing rotting
during wet weather. In the trial grounds, when grown alongside other large bush limas,
it was ready for picking nearly ten days earlier than any other, yet it continued in bearing
for a long season. On account of the luxuriant foliage providing ample shelter for the
pods, they remain fresh and tender longer than ordinary. In earliness, abundance of yield
and long bearing season, we do not believe the Wilson is equalled by any other large
bush lima, and in quality none is better.
No. 40. Burpee’s Bush Lima ~The b,ush typh\of thf ^e11-
" known large white pole lima
and of equally good quality. The plants are uniformly dwarf
and erect, branch vigorously, and is an immense yielder. The
pods are well filled with very large beans identical in size
and. luscious flavor with the large white pole lima.
No. 39. Fordhook Bush Lima
— The dwarf form of the
popular “potato lima.” The
bush is of erect growth, holding the pods off the ground, so
that they are not injured by being beaten to the ground by the
wind or rain. Very prolific, the pods each contain four or five
large, fat beans, lying so closely together that they are flat-
tened on the ends, and are very easily shelled. The green
beans, even when full size, are tender, juicy and sweet.

SO-lb. lots of beans
may be ordered at the

Wood’s Im-
proved Pole
Lima Beans
No. 57. Wood’s Improved Pole Lima (Butter Bean) — This
r improved variety is of
the same type as the Small Lima, but the beans are larger and
it is earlier than any of the other pole sorts, remarkably prolific,
a continuous bearer and easy to shell. The pods are produced in
clusters, and it is not uncommon to find clusters of pods ready to
pull at one time. We strongly recommend it as a distinct and
valuable improvement in pole limas.
>. 58. Small Pole Lima or Butter Beans
hardier and more prolific than the large lima kinds. The popu-
lar “butter bean” of the South, and more generally grown than
any other variety.
No. 61. Carpinteria Large Pole Lima ‘The S most" perfect
pole lima bean.” In productiveness it excels all other large
pole lima varieties. The vine is strong, producing a great
abundance of fine, large pods, closely filled with beans of the
largest size, and much thicker and plumper than is usually
found in pole limas. The color of the bean is distinctive, hav-
ing a decided greenish tint, an indication of the finest
quality. The beans are thin-skinned, extremely tender,
and of exceptionally fine flavor.
No. 60. Ford’s Mammoth Podded Pole Lima
— A strong grower and uniformly large podded. It is
one of the large yielders' among the pole limas, as well
as being fine flavored. The pods are unusually large,
each containing 4 or 5 beans of the finest quality. The
vines are vigorous, setting the pods early at the foot of
thd" pole, and continue bearing till frost!
No. 62. Large White Pole Lima — 1 ™ew°Jf /tnown
variety. A favorite for the home garden. Pods and
beans large and of superior quality.

Garden Beets
CUTiTUBE. — For earliest use, plant in hot-beds and transplant.
For early outdoor crop, plant as soon as the ground can be
worked, in March or early April; successive plantings may be
made till the end of July. Beets for winter use should be
planted from April till July, soaking the seeds before planting.
Beets thrive best in light, loose, fresh, clean, deeply-worked
soil that has been well manured for the previous crop; smooth
roots cannot be grown if fresh manure is used. For field cul-
ture, plant in drills 2 to 2% feet apart, and cover about one inch.
Thin out to 4 inches apart. One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill;
six to eight pounds, one acre. In the garden plant in rows 15
inches apart. Plant from April till July for fall and winter use,
and store as recommended on page 15 for storing carrots.
No. 69. Crosby’s Improved
Egyptian
— We recommend
Crosby’s Egyptian as
a combination of earliness, good
shape, good color and good
quality. It is not as flat as Ex-
tra Early Egyptian nor as
round as Eclipse — these varie-
ties are its rivals in earliness.
The color is bright red with
bright vermilion-red flesh, very
sweet and tender. It has the
advantage of being fit for use
earlier than most beets, as it
takes on its turnip shape at a
very early stage of its growth.
The tops and tap-root are both
small.
Crosby’s
Improved
Egyptian
No. 70. Improved Early
di | — If you are in doubt
oiOOa about what beet to plant,
you will not go wrong in plant-
ing the Improved Early Blood
Turnip. The consistent,
demand shows that it has given
unvarying satisfaction and has
the indorsement of a large ma-
jority of our customers. Not as
early as the Extra Early Egyp-
tian, but superior in quality. Of
uniform size, with smooth skin
free from fibrous roots. Color
rich dark red. Tender, sweet
and crisp. Makes an ideal beet
for planting in May, June and
July to make beets for storing
for winter. A fine keeper.
Blood
Edmand’s Blood Turnip.
No. 74. Edmand’s
Blood Turnip
— Although quite early
and much used for
early planting, the Ed-
mand’s is generally
grown for main crop
and for putting away
for winter, for which
purpose it is particu-
larly good. The beets
are nearly round,
smooth and excellent
keepers. Skin and flesh
deep red; crisp and
sweet. We recommend
Edmand’s for quality.

has made many fast friends is
proved by the fact that fully
three-fourths of our general or-
ders call for the Crimson Globe
in varying quantities. The
shape is nearly a perfect globe
about 10 inches around with
smooth skin free from roctlets;
the flesh is a rich blood red,
nicely ringed, never stringy,

No. 72. Extra Early Eclipse

der, especially when young, but holds

handsome appearance. Eclipse

— Here is a beet you will like,
whether you grow for home use or

and especially recommended for the dairyman on account of its
milk producing properties and the richer quality of the milk.
The flesh is firm and solid, rich golden yellow color. On ac-
count of its peculiar shape they can be grown closer in the
rows than most mangels, increasing the yield per acre con-
siderably. Grows well above ground and easily pulled. Yields
particularly well on light soils.
N_ — Although this variety does not

THAN TURNIPS, AND ARE HIGHER IN DEEDING VALUE.
CULTURE. — Plantings should be made beginning at corn plant-
ing time till the middle of June, soaking the seeds for twenty-
four hours before planting. Make the rows 2 to 2% feet apart,
the drills one inch deep on lands that have plenty of moisture in
the subsoil; on dry and sandy soil they should be planted deeper.
Shallow sowings germinate better and give a larger proportion
of vigorous plants. Thin out to stand 8 inches apart in the row;
young plants may be transplanted to fill up vacancies. Cultivate
as soon after planting as possible. As soon as frosts occur, dig
the roots, cut off the tops and pile on a well drained situation,
covering with straw or corn stalks and an inch of earth. As it
gets colder increase the covering to prevent freezing. Gradual
covering prevents heating. They are acrid when first dug, but if
kept till January they will be sweet and succulent. Always feed
ith some dry roughage. They should have a fertilizer contain-
a good per cent of potash. 6 to 8 lbs. will plant an acre.

CULTURE. — Cauliflower requires the same treatment and cul-
tivation as cabbage and can be grown both early and late. Not
as hardy as cabbage in resistance to either hot and dry or cold
weather. They should have an abundance of water in the sum-
mer and protection during cold weather.
Sow the early varieties half an inch deep in a hot-bed in Jan-
uary or February and transplant when proper size and when
freezing weather is past; they will stand a light frost. For late
crop, sow Autumr, Giant in May or June and treat exactly like
late cabbage. Set the plants 15 to 18 inches apart in 3-foot rows.
The soil in the seed-bed should not be richer than that to which
they are transplanted. When the heads are about 2 inches
across, tie up the outer leaves to blanch, the head and protect
them from
the sun and
weather; this
prevents them
becoming bit-
ter and dis-
colored. This
may also be
done by break-
ing the ribs of
inside leaves
and allowing
them to cover
the heads.
As cauli-
flower will
not head dur-
ing very hot
weather, time
your plantings
so as to have
them head be-
fore hot sum-
mer comes on,
and during the
cooler weath-
er of the fall. Allow 90 to 100 days for the early kinds; 120 to
130 days for the late.
Be sure to transplant to a rich well-fertilized moist soil or give
plenty of water, good and frequent cultivation and cut when the
head is hard and compact, as when the heads open the quality
is impaired.
No. 128. Wood’s Earliest Snowball — ' t*1®1:® ,is no better
cauliflower for
Southern growers and our strain is as fine as can be had at
any price. It is a remarkably sure header, making large, solid,
perfect, pure white heads of the finest quality. We recom-
mend it also for the late summer and fall crops. As well
adapted for forcing as for growing out of doors.
No. 129. Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt 7"a first-ciass cauii-

to our Snowball. Produces large, white, close, firm heads of
fine quality. It is extra early and a sure header.

Water Cress.
CRESS
No. 187. WATER CRESS.
— Sow in the spring
along the edges of
creeks or ponds. Only
one sowing is neces-
sary, as it increases
rapidly. May also be
sown in seed bed in
a damp location, and
the young plants
transplanted to edges
of streams or pends.
It not only makes a de-
sirable and attractive
plant, but purifies the
water. Is developing
into quite a profitable
industry for shipment
to our larger markets.
No. 188. CURLED CRESS. — Can be sown either in the spring or
fall. The plants are cut and tied in bunches in the same man-
ner as water cress. Sow in drills one foot apart. One ounce
will sow about 200 feet of drill.

CULTURE. — When transplanting cabbage plants from the seed
bed, set uiem in good rich soil that has been deeply dug and well
manured and apply a fertilizer containing plenty of ammonia.
The soil in the seed bed should not be richer than the soil where
the plants are tc grow, otherwise the growth will be checked.
Set the plants as deep as the first leaf stems, give frequent and
deep cultivation, drawing the earth to the plants at each working.
Set the early varieties 18 inches apart in 2% to 3 foot rows; the
late varieties should be set 2 feet apart in 3 foot rows.
One ounce will sow 100 feet of row and produce about 2000
plants; 6 to 8 ounces will make enough plants to set an acre.
PLANTING BATES (Tor the Vicinity of Richmond.)
Spring Planting. — Sow the early varieties in boxes indoors cr
in hot bed in January, February or March: for a summer crop
sow the early varieties outside from April to June.
Winter Cabbage. — Sow the late varieties in April, May or
June and transplant when large enough.
Pall Plantings. — After September 20th sow the early varieties
to make plants to set out in November. If sown too early in the
fall they have a tendency to shoot to seed, especially the flat-
headed varieties.

Wood’s Extra Ear-
ly, for it is the
earliest cabbage in
cultivation and in
every way one of
the most desirable
extra early varie-
ties. Although pre-
eminently an early

for it is larger
than the Jersey

not quite so solid,
but fully a week
earlier. The qual-

few loose leaves,

Sometimes called Bong Island Wakefield. Every gardener en-
joys a feeling of security when he plants our selected Charleston
Wakefield, for it is a thoroughbred. About a week later than our
Selected Jersey Wakefield, but considerably larger and heavier,
just as solid, with less pointed and thicker heads. It has earli-
ness, hardiness, fine size and fine quality. These are the out-

A round headed cab-
bage as early as

addition to earliness
it has remarkable size
for so early a cab-

aging 8 to 10 lbs.; the
heads are solid and
compact with few
outside leaves, allow-
ing close planting.
Nearly round, tightly
folded, and short

is equal to that of any

grained and tender;
the hearts are pure

No. 93. Wood’s Selected Early Jersey Wakefield
Earliness, hardiness, solidity, good size, uniformity, fine qual-
ity — these characteristics go to make Wood’s Selected Early
Jersey Wakefield the most universally planted of all early cab-
bages. It is grown in nearly every garden in the South, and
among market growers is planted almost entirely for the first
early market. This universal popularity demands that more than
ordinary attention be given to the selection of plants for breed-
ing purposes, having in mind earliness, sureness to head, solidity
and uniformity of growth and maturity. In our Wakefields this
careful selection has been critical and continued through many
years, and we believe we have as good and uniform a strain as
can be had.

No. 1 14. Chinese Petsai

A wonderful salad plant, growing
15 or 16 inches high, somewhat re-

like swiss chard. It yields an un-
usual amount of most excellent salad.
Cut up like cabbage and served with
mayonnaise or French dressing it
makes a splendid cole-slaw. Can be
boiled like cabbage if cooked quickly
and served with cream sauce, but is
without the strong flavor and odor of
cabbage. The hearts blanch to a
crystalline white; whiter than let-
tuce and more beautiful than cab-
bage— every leaf, including the out-
side ones, is delicate and tender.
Be sure to plant some just to know
how good it is.
Sow early in the spring and again
in July and August, transplanting 18
inches apart in 2% -foot rows. Time
your spring planting so it will head
before hot weather; it heads in 80
to 90 days.
Chinese PetsalT
s called
A very

For summer use plant-

Fall plantings should be

salad during the fall.
Make the drills a foot
apart, cover the seeds
half an inch, press the
soil firmly and give it the same cultivation as for spinach.

during the spring and
summer, the principal
sowings are made in
June, July and August,
transplanted 2 feet apart
in the row and given fre-
quent cultivation. A
most excellent vegetable
for the late fall, winter
and early spring. The
flavor is improved by
frost. Cultivate like late

is without a superior. Not as early
as Early Scarlet Horn, being classed
as medium early, but makes the size
and type of root generally in demand;
smooth and handsome, about 6 inches
long, 2 to 2% inches thick at the
crown, tapering to a blunt point,
and has that rich, bright orange color
so much preferred.
No. 117. Early Scarlet Horn

The roots are 3 to 3% inches long,
1% inches thick at the shoulder,
tapering to one inch thick at the

is fine grained and sweet flavored,
and can be used when very young,
but when young the roots are
pointed. Color bright orange scar-
let.

Carrots make a fine alterative food
for horses, cattle and hogs. They are

CELERY
CTTIiTTTBE.— Plant ih February, March or beginning of April, in drills 8 to
10 inches apart, in a bed of fine, rich soil, barely covering the seeds. If the
soil is dry, press the earth after covering, and keep clear of weeds, or the
young plants will be smothered. When four inches high cut oft: the tops
to make the plants stocky. Transplant from July to October. August and
September settings succeed excellently and require less labor than if set
out earlier. To prepare a bed, dig trenches 6 inches deep and put in 3 or 4
inches of well-rotted manure, dig in well and cover with fine soil. Set the
plants 6 to 8 inches apart, press the soil firmly and earth up when nearly
full grown, but do not let the earth get into the heart of the plant. When
severe weather comes on, cover gradually with leaves, hay or straw, and
place boards on top; water-proof felt paper is also used. In such a bed
the stalks will blanch perfectly, and may be taken out when wanted. In
field culture plants are set 6 inches apart in 4-foot rows. Celery requires
frequent cultivation, and the earth drawn up to the plants as they grow.
. ° heep tor winter, take up the plants with roots and pack closely, stand-
flP- wet soil ^ark cellar. Celeriac, or Turnip-Rooted Celery,

Self -Blanching Celeries
Grow quickly, blanch easily. The ease with
which they are grown should give them a place
in every home garden. Plant the self-blanch-

ties for general use later.
No. 137. Improved White Plume
— A magnificent celery for early use, and
being self-blanching, requires but little
working; naturally turns white upon reach-
ing maturity. In quality, it is all that can
be desired.
No. 138. Golden Self Blanching

France and imported direct. It must not
be confused with cheap American-grown
seeds, which we do not handle at any price.
Our strain makes beautiful, stocky,

inches high, of the most delicate flavor
and good keeping quality. Nearly as

CULTURE. — To have the earliest cucumbers, start in pots,
small paper boxes, berry boxes or on pieces of sod, grass side
down so that they can be readily transplanted without checking
the growth. For the general crop, plant in the open ground as
soon as the weather becomes settled warm, about the end of
April or during May, not over an inch deep, in hills about four
feet apart each way. The hills should be previously prepared by
mixing well-rotted manure with the soil. Put about ten seeds in
each hill, and when aH danger of insects is past thin out to four
plants, and give frequent, but shallow cultivation. The fruit
should be gathered, whether wanted or not, for if left to ripen on
the vine it destroys its productiveness. For pickling, plant in
June or July. One ounce will plant 50 hills; two pounds one acre.
INSECT REMEDIES.— Two
lbs. arsenate of lead mixed
with 50 lbs. Bordeaux mix-
ture kills insects and prevents
diseases. One lb. arsenate of
lead mixed with 20 lbs. land
plaster kills the striped cu-
cumber bug. Apply as soon
as the plants appear. A radish
plant grown in each hill will
keep the bugs away.

CULTURE. Born prefers a rich, warm, well-manured soil, but excellent
garden corn may be raised on any good soil that has been deeply and thor-
oughly worked before planting. Plant the early varieties the last of March
or early in April; sweet corns are tender and should not be planted till the
ground is thoroughly warm, otherwise they are liable to rot. Give frequent
and thorough, but shallow cultivation, and continue plantings at intervals of
about two weeks till July or early in August for a succession of roasting
ears throughout the season. Plant during July or early in August for late
roasting ears. One pound will plant 100 hills; 10 to 12 pounds plants an acre.

a small ear and stalk, and can be planted close together. The grains
are white and smooth; very hardy and can be planted earlier than any
of the sugar corns.
No. 150. Bland’s Extra Early
The earliest of all the Garden
Corns.- — Bland’s is preeminently
the earliest of all garden corns,
fully a week earlier than Extra
Early Adams. No corn we have
ever offered has had such constant
and growing demand — practically
every general order calls for
Bland’s Extra Early. It makes an
attractive ear of good size and fine
quality; the grains are pearly
white, plump, milky and tender. If
you are like most gardeners and
take a pride in having the earliest
garden in your neighborhood 'you
will have to plant Bland’s. We
recommend it not only to the pri-
vate gardener but to those who
grow for market, for in earliness
it is ahead cf any garden corn
in cultivation and the size and
appearance of the ear should make
it a ready seller.
No. 151. Trucker’s Favorite
For a second early to follow Early
Adams this is unquestionably one of
the best; or for planting late to ma-
ture quickly it is equally valuable.
It is a white corn, with good depth
of grain, tender and sweet, and a
most desirable size for roasting ears.
Besides being a fine garden corn, it
is a splendid field corn to follow po-
tatoes and other early crops. The
ears are large and well filled. A big
advantage in growing Trucker’s Fa-
vorite is that should you not use it
all for roasting ears it will make
large ears for making meal or
feeding. It makes the largest ear
of any early garden corn, averaging
over 8 inches long. A fine combi-
nation of earliness and size; hardy
and can be planted early.
The varieties on this page are not sugar corns. They are hardier and can be planted earlier than the sugar corns and
make excellent roasting earB before the sugar corns are ready.

and sweet corn weevil do not bother it anything like as much
as other early garden corns, and will produce a larger per-
centage of usable and marketable ears. Bears two or three
ears to the stalk, of a most desirable size, either for market
or table use. The ears have eight to ten rows of bright, at-
tractive grains, well filled out to the tip. Makes beautiful
creamy white roasting ears, while its flavor is sweet, tender
and delicious.

good sized ear, with a small cob, densely covered with irregular
rows of very long, slender, pearly-white grains of the best
quality. The ears are 8 to 9 inches long, are borne two or
more to the stalk, and will keep tender and fit for use for a
long season.
M _ i _ i j r The well-known Golden Ban-

were crossed and gave a complete blend that combined the best
characteristics of each — a corn that has the color and deli-
ciously sweet flavor of the Golden Bantam and the evergreen
habit and tenderness of the Stowell’s Evergreen. The ears are
larger than Golden Bantam, with 12 to 14
rows of deep, sugary, rich yellow grains. If
you plant Golden Evergreen we are sure you
will like it, for it has both size and quality.
No. 159. Golden Giant is a cross of
Golden Bantam and Howling Mob and
has all the fine qualities
with the additional
advantage of being
about double the size
of Golden Bantam and
only a few days later.
Dr. DeLue, who bred
it, says of it: “Golden
Giant excels all other
early varieties in size,
productiveness and
quality, and all the
late varieties in qual-
ity and early ma-
turity. It is the one
corn for the home or
market gardener who
wants the greatest
amount of highest
quality corn in the
shortest period of
time from the small-
est piece of land."
The cob is small and
carries fourteen to
eighteen straight
rows of long, deep,
thick orange colored
grains that cover the
entire cob. The shuck
covers the tip com-
pletely, protecting the
ear from worms and
birds.

CULTURE.— Spring or Smooth Kale sown in February or
March makes greens earlier than the winter sorts. The Siberian
and Scotch are generally sown from August 15th to October 15th,
but are frequently sown in the spring with satisfactory results.
Sow either broadcast or in drills 18 inches apart, and give some

worked, thinning out to stand 5 to 6
inches in the row. For a succession,
sow every two weeks till end of April
For fall use. sow in June and July.

No. 225. EARLY WHITE VIENNA
The best and earliest variety; flesh
white and very tender; the quality
and flavor are excellent.
CULTURE. — Superior to onions for
soup flavoring, etc. Sow early in the
spring in a light, rich, moist soil in
drills half an inch deep. When 6 or 8
inches high, trim off the tops and roots
and transplant 4 to 6 inches apart In
one-foot rows setting the plants in the
ground up to their center leaves, and
earth up to blanch the necks. Sowings
should also be made in September, and
transplanted outside in the fall or
early soring. One ounce will sow
about 100 feet of drill.
No. 227. LARGE FLAG. — Hardy, pro-
ductive and of the best quality.
Large Flag Leek.
CULTURE.— For quality lettuce requires quick growth; that
means rich soil, plenty of water and clean and thorough cultiva-
tion to have crisp and tender heads. Make your first plantings
in boxes or hot-beds and harden by exposure; later plant outside
and transplant 8 to 12 inches apart in 18-inch rows. Sowings
may also be made where the plants are to grow and thinned
out. The curled varieties sown thickly make a beautiful border,
the rows being thinned out by pulling for use as wanted. For
a constant supply plant every three weeks — lettuce may be had
all seasons of the year. For fall use plant in July and August:
plant the hardy kinds in September, protect with straw or litter
and they will head up in the spring; or transplant under canvas
or glass to head up in the winter. An ounce will produce about
1500 plants: 2 pounds will make plants enough for an acre.
Summer
No. 237. Summer
Allheart — No lettuce
can compete
with Allheart for
heading in hot weath-
er and make such
large compact, finely
blanched heads; nor
is there a summer
lettuce of better
quality. Equally good
for spring and fall
planting and stands
the winter splendidly
out of doors, its abil-
ity to head in almost
any weather places it
in a class by itself.
No. 240. Cos or Romaine — Sometimes called celery let-
tuce. Has no equal for quality.
Forms long, conical heads which, if tied up, blanch a pure white,
and as crisp as celery stalks. Makes fine heads even in hot
summer weather. Very sweet, and has a freshness and distinct
quality that makes a pleasant change from other varieties. Try
it to convince yourself how well it merits a place in your gar-
den.
No. 230. WoocTs Cabbage Lettuce
There is no better lettuce than Wood’s Cabbage, whether for
forcing in frames or hot-beds, for early spring sowing outside,
for summer growing,
for late fall, or to
stand outdoors all win-
ter. Under all condi-
tions it makes fine,
large and solid heads
with beautifully
blanched hearts. It
does not run to seed as
quickly as other kinds,
and the quality is all
that could be desired.
Has stood the test for
more than thirty years
and is still our most
popular and best sell-
ing variety.

No. 238. Grand Rapids
— Among the curled or
loose leaved lettuces there
is nothing handsomer
than Grand Rapids. It
makes a quick growth, is
hardy and holds its crisp-
ness for days after being
cut. Does not form heads,
but large, compact clus-

No lettuce is more crisp,
especially the large ribs,
which are like celery

it keeps on growing.
No. 239. Crisp -as-Ice
— Neither extra early
nor extra large, but a
fine lettuce for the pri-
vate garden, heading
even in hot weather. In
delicate flavor and ten-
derness no other is su-
perior. It is so crisp
and brittle as to fully
justify the name. The
heads are hard with rich,
creamy yellow hearts
that are exceedingly ten-
der and sweet, delicate
flavor. Slow to start to
seed.

CULTURE. — Prepare hills, 4 to 6 feet apart, in a rich, mod-
erately dry sandy so;l, using well-rotted manure. When frost is
over, plant 10 to 12 seeds in each hill about 1 inch deep, and
when well up, thin out, leaving 4 strong plants to the hill. Pinch
off the ends of the vines when about a foot long; this will make
them strong and bear more freely. Give frequent but shallow
cultivation till the vines cover the ground. Do not grow near
cucumbers, squashes, etc. One ounce plants 50 hills; two pounds
to the acre.

No. 257. Tip-Top — Rightly named, for it is one of the most
^ ^ delicious melons in existence. The fruits
are of a good size, quite well netted, evenly ribbed, have thick
orange flesh, sweet, juicy and of the finest spicy flavor, even
close to the rind. It is the sort of mselon that if you grow it
once you will always give it a plate in your garden. All
through the season the early melons aind the late ones are good.
For the home garden we recommend it highly. It is not adapted
for shipping long distances, but is fine for the near-by market.

the flesh thick, juicy and sweet.
The flesh is light green. Fine
for the home garden and nearby

Sweet such a favorite. The improvement has been along the
line of size and shipping qualities. It is not at all unusual to
have them weigh 75 pounds, yet the rind is thin, but so tough
that Improved Kleckley's Sweet qualifies for long-distance ship-
ping.

No. 272. Carolina Bradford — The Bradford is one of the
best melons for home use and
nearby market, but we do not recommend it for shipping long
distances. It is a favorite above all others in sections where
it has been grown. Makes a strong, healthv and very produc-

with darker stripe; flesh red, remarkably tender and sweet. An
excellent melon for home use.

It looks like the last word in shipping melons, for besides its
exceedingly attractive appearance it has size, solidity and the
tough rind so necessary for shipping long distances. Probably
its best feature is the fine, sugary quality in which it excels all
shipping melons and makes it a good melon for the home gar-
den. It does not sunburn; has bright fed, sweet meat, and ships
splendidly.

Irish Gray Water Melon
Nn 070 Iricb Gvav — In sweetness it is like Kleckley’s
irioM V»ray gweets; jn shipping quality, uniformity
in shape, size and in productiveness it compares with Tom
Watson. The thin rind is so tough it will not burst from
rough treatment in transit; its keeping quality will appeal to
shippers who have experienced losses no account of glutted
markets. The color is a distinct mottled greenish grey; the
flesh is red, sweet, crisp and free from stringiness. An unusual
melon, for although a grand shipper it is equally fine for the
home garden.
No. 284. Preserving
Citron — Makes excellent preserves
sweet meats. Also used

for
stock feeding. Keeps for a long time.

the soil after sowing.
Slow to germinate,
sometimes two or

ing up. Germination
may be hastened by
soaking 24 to 36 hours
before sowing, or by
covering the rows
with boards to retain
the moisture. A few
radish seeds should
be sown in the row
with parsley to mark
the row and allow
early cultivation. The

Onion
CTJETURE. — In January oj February plant % inch deep in
hotbeds or plant outside later. When the size of a goose quill
transplant 3 to 4 inches apart in 15 to 18-inch rows. Plantings
may also be made where the onions are to grow, thinning out
to stand 3 to 4 inches apart, but the transplanting method saves
seeds and at least two weedings and gives larger yields. Keep
free of weeds. 5 to 6 lbs. will plant an acre.
Growing Onion Sets. Sow in broad, wide rows in March or
early in April, 40 to 50 pounds per acre, and keep clean of weeds.
In late summer, or whenever the tops die, remove the sets to a
dry place, spreading them thinly on trays made of laths, piling
the trays one on top of another, separated by blocks, so that the
air can circulate freely. The larger sets should be sold for
pickling, and only the smallest retained for planting.

No. 301. Large Red Wethersfield “^he “^generally
red variety. The bulbs are large, somewhat flattened ; skin
purplish red; flesh purplish white; very hard and solid; an
excellent keeper and a heavy cropper. A good onion for poor
and dry soils.
Globe Danvers
best known and most largely
grown yellow onion for spring plant-
ing. The bulbs are medium to large
size, averaging about 2 inches in
diameter, uniformly globe-shaped,
have small necks and
ripen evenly. The skin
is light yellow; flesh is
creamy white, crisp and
mild in flavor. A fine
keeper, matures early
and is universally rec-
ommended for genera]
crop. Early and even
ripening, attractive, uni-
form shape, good keep-
ing quality and mild
flavor have all combined
to make Danvers the
most popular yellow
onion for spring plant-
ing. The supply of seeds
this season is exceeding-
ly limited owing to crop
failure.

No other white onion
grows as large. Attractive

of earliness, large size, at-
tractive shape and fine, mild
flavor.

Garden Peas — Early Varieties
(Varieties marked with star (*) are wrinkled.)
' Inoculate this
Seed with
FARMOGERM
CULTURE. — Peas do best in a
light, rich loamy soil that has
been liberally manured the pre-
vious season. Plant the smooth
varieties as early as the ground
can be worked. The wrinkled
peas are not as hardy as the
smooth kinds, and should be
planted later,
but they are
sweeter and
better flav-
ored. For a
con t inu o u s
crop plant every two weeks — as
late as August for a late crop.
Plant 2 to 3 inches deep in double
rows 6 to 8 inches apart, 2% to 3
feet between the double rows;
stake the tall varie-
ties with brush and
work the earth to-
ward them two or
three times during
growth. Gather as
fast as they are fit
to use, otherwise
they will stop bear-
ing. Two pounds will
plant 100 feet of
drill; 90 pounds for an acre.
No. 319. Wood’s Pedigree Extra Early
— This is all that its name implies, a thoroughbred
pea. The pods are well shaped and well filled, con-
taining usually 5 to 7 peas of a beautiful green
color, both peas and pods retaining their fresh
green color long after being picked. We strongly
recommend this pea on account of its extreme
earliness, well-filled pods and great productive-
ness; 2 to 2% feet high.
No. 320 Wood’s Lightning Excelsior
— Unquestionably one of the best early peas. Until
the introduction of our Pedigree Extra Early, it
stood at the head of the list as to earliness. It is
remarkably prolific; grows 2% feet high, strong,
vigorous and hardy, standing cold weather; ripens
uniformly and is one of
the most productive ex-
tra early peas, both for
shipping, home market
and home use.
No. 331. Gradus or
Prosperity*^ On!yafeeW
than Eclipse, and re-
markable for its size
and full pods. 3 feet
high and produces uni-
formly large pods 4
inches or more in length.
Remains tender and
sweet for a long time.
Recommended for earli-
ness, size and quality.
No. 322. Large
Podded Alaska or
Ameer — ° n 1 y a few
days later than
Extra Early Alaska, but
has longer and broader
pods, larger peas, and the vine is more productive,
are frequently borne in pairs; its hardiness allows earlier
planting than the wrinkled peas; the quality is good; grows
2% feet high.
Large Podded Alaska-
No. 328. Eclipse or Surprise*
— The earliest of all the wrinkled
peas. Though not as hardy as the
extra early smooth seeded peas, it far
excels any of them in delicious quality
and is about as early. The pods are
about 3 inches long and well filled; 2
feet high.
No. 329. Laxtonian* —Although the
vines grow only
about 18 inches high, they produce as
abundantly as early wrinkled peas of
taller growth, and yield larger and
handsomer pods than any other dwarf
peas. The pods are about 4 inches
long, well filled with fine, large sweet
peas, generally 6 to 8
to the pod. Almost as
early as the extra early
smooth peas; the vines
are vigorous and pro-
ductive. In tenderness
and luscious quality,
no early dwarf pea is
superior to Laxtonian.
Thomas Laxton.
The pods
No. 325. Little Marvel* 4PmTgar&t %
is a first early wrinkled pea growing 15 to 18
inches high, heavily set with dark green well-filled
pods that are closely crowded with 6 to 8 peas of
extra fine flavor; the pods are usually produced in
pairs. Especially well suited to the small private
garden; a generous yielder and the peas are tender
and sweet.
No. 321. Extra Early Alaska i0a“ie^esOfCaAii
— Recommended especially for its earliness and
hardiness, allowing extra early planting. The pods
and peas are not large, but are borne in abundance,
and all mature at once and they retain their fresh
green color long after picking. For canning, it
ranks first among the very early varieties. Height
2% feet.
No. 326. Petit Pois or French Peas
prefer the small sweet French pea for a portion of
their planting. The long, slim pods contain 8 to 10
small peas of tender, delicate quality. Grows 3 to
4 feet high and should have a brush support.
No. 332. Thomas Laxton*
— An exceptionally fine wrin-
kled pea with dark green pods
nearly 4 inches long that are
packed with peas, often 7 or
8 to the pod. It is only a
few days later than the ex-
tra early smooth peas; is
quite hardy and very prolific.
The vines grow about 3 feet
high. In quality, the peas
are without a superior. Re-
commended for earliness, size
and fine quality/
AMERICAN WONDER

Fine peas in their day, but
they have been supplanted by
better varieties. To those who

and better producers.

Second Early and Late Peas
Varieties marked with a star ( * ) are wrinkled.
No. 337 Bliss Everbearing*
— Ready for picking about a
week after Little Marvel and
continues a long time in bear-
ing. If picked as the pods
mature the vines throw out
branches bearing pods that
mature in succession, thus
prolonging the season. The
peas are of good size, tender,
and of fine flavor. Pods 3
inches long, broad, of good
size and well filled. For
more than a generation Bliss
Everbearing has been one of
the most highly esteemed
peas for the summer and fall
garden, and many prefer it to
all others of the later varie-
ties. Height 2 y2 to 3 feet.

Bliss Everbearing
its equal "in quality and delicious sweetness.
The vines are vigorous and stout, giving
them unusual yielding power, the pods fre-
quently being borne in pairs. The broad,
handsome deep-green pods are often 4 inches
long and are well filled with big, tender peas
of the very best quality. A fine pea for the
private garden and the home market. Height
2 feet.
No. 342. Large White Marrowfat
- — A big yielder for midsummer and late
crop. The pods contain 4 to 5 peas each, are
about 3 inches long, full to the ends. Not as
sweet as the wrinkled varieties, but un-
doubtedly the most productive
of all garden peas and very
hardy. On poor ground
will outyield all other
ties. Should be gathered
young to have the peas
their best. They grow
high and should be
with brush.
No. 345. Dwarf Telephone
or Daisy* — A dwarf type of
J the famous Tele-
phone, with all the splen-
did qualities of that fine
pea, and about a week
earlier. It is an abund-
ant bearer of long, broad,
straight pods about 4%
inches long, well filled,
frequently containing 9
to 10 big, luscious sweet
peas. iy2 feet high; the

Wood’s Dark
Green Telephone1*
Wood’s Darh Green Telephone.
Our Dark Green Podded
Telephone should not be con-
fused with the light colored
Telephones as generally sold.
Our Telephones are longer
and larger podded, much
darker green and are richer
in flavor. The pods generally
measure 5 to 5% inches long,
are broad, straight and are
filled to capacity with big,
tender peas, usually 6 to 8
peas to the pod. The vines
grow 4 to 4% feet high and
bear an abundant crop of
fine, dark green pods that re-
main fresh and retain their
color long after picking. It
is not as early as Laxtonian
nor as late as

No. 344. Wood’s Mammoth
Luscious Sugar*
The finest type of sugar peas. Has no equal for
sweetness and tenderness
(Salad Peas) — Without an equal for sweetness,
succulence and tenderness. It is really a double
purpose pea, for it may be used as an edible
podded as well as a shelled pea, and is the
equal of the sweetest wrinkled variety. The
pods, when about half grown, should be sliced
and boiled like snap beans and served with but-
ter or sauce to make a most tempting and deli-
cious dish. The pods are 6 to 7 inches long, iy2
inches broad, and are produced continuously for
a long season. Grows 5 to 6 feet high, requiring
support.

much larger. Plant in May or June in hills 8 to 10 feet apart,
mixing well-rotted manure in each hill. Put 8 to 10 seeds in each
hill, 1 inch deep, and cultivate till the vines get strong, when they
should be thinned out, leaving two or three of the strongest in
each hill. When planted in corn, plant at the same time as the
corn in every fourth row, 10 to 12 feet apart in the rows, letting
the hill of pumpkins take the place of a hill of corn. Do not grow
near squashes or melons. Keep off bugs by dusting with paris
green, or land plaster. One ounce will plant 20 hills; three
pounds, one acre.

Virginia Mammoth.
No 36S Vircrinia Mammoth — We have never grown a
no. odd. Virginia iviarnmotnpumpkin that combines so
many good qualities as the Virginia Mammoth. It not only
grows to an immense size, but its keeping quality is most re-
markable— we have kept them in fine condition for a whole
year after they were taken from the field. It is undoubtedly
the best and most productive pumpkin for Southern growers.
Oval shaped, the flesh thick, of fine flavor; makes as delicious
pumpkin pie as any one could wish, and is equally good for
stock feeding.
No. 370. Large Cheese kin for bTth

quality. For pies, for canning and for feeding
to stock it is first class.

RADISH
C ULTraE. — To be tender and crisp, radishes must be grown
quickly, and this requires rich soil and plenty of moisture. Com-
mencing with the first mild spell in the spring, sow at intervals
of ten days, in a light, rich, deeply-worked soil. May also be
sown as a catch-crop between rows of beets, lettuce, onions, etc.,
or sown in the same drill with slow-growing vegetables like
carrots and parsnips. When forced in hot-beds, they must have
plenty of ventilation and moisture. For fall and winter use, sow
the winter varieties in August or September. One ounce will
plant 50 feet; 8 to 10 pounds one acre.

SQUASH or CYMLING
Culture. — After danger of frost is past, plant in a warm well-
pulverized, rich soil, mixing well-rotted manure in each hill.
Plant about 1 inch deep, 8 or 10 seeds to the hill, the summer
varieties 3 to 4 feet apart, the winter sorts 8 to 10 feet. When
well grown, thin out, leaving 3 of the strongest plants in each
hill. Do not bruise or break the stems of the winter squashes
when gathering. Apply land plaster, air-slacked lime or paris
green to keep off bugs; for the large squash bug, use kerosene
emulsion. Plant summer sorts, 1 ounce to 25 hills; 3 to 4 pounds
to an acre; winter sorts, 1 ounce to 10 hills, 3 to 4. pounds to
an acre.

being about a third

in shape; color a beauti-
ful waxy white; the
fruits are thick, the

prolific bearer.
— Besides being ten
days earlier than Early
White Bush, it has the
advantage of contain-
ing nearly double as
much flesh, is easier to
prepare and with less
waste. These advan-
tages and the good
yield will appeal to the
home gardener, but its
extreme earliness and
good yield will appeal
to the market grower
as well as to the home
gardener who takes a
pride in having the
earliest garden. The

flesh is fine. It is the

Except in the color of its
fruits this is very similar to
Mammoth White Bush. It
has rich, deep orange skin;
the flesh is rich creamy yel-
low and of very fine quality.
It is of true bush form and
a very abundant yielder.
Although the white variety
is more generally grown
many of our customers pre-
fer the yellow because of
its more attractive color
when cooked. In quality it
is in every way equal to the
white, with the advantage
of being larger.

Tomatoes
CULTURE, — Six or. eight weeks before frost is over, sow M
inch deep in hot-beds, in pots or shallow boxes in the house, and
when they have made 4 leaves transplant to boxes or pots to pro-
mote root growth. Expose as much as possible to harden them
so that, when set out in the open ground, they will be strong and
stocky, but do not allow the growth to be checked. Transplant
3 to 4 feet apart in a light, warm soil, and shade them a few
days until they are well rooted. The earliest fruits may be had
by growing in pots, shifting to larger pots as they become filled
with roots. Earliness may also be promoted by pinching off all
the branches except the one most thrifty and tying this and the
main stem to stakes; pinching out the side branches promotes
vigor, more perfect fruits and a more abundant crop. One ounce
makes about 1,500 plants; 4 ounces will make plants for an acre.
GROW YOUR TOMATOES BY THE RICE FEAN
Midway between two
rows of plants drive
stakes at any convenient
distance, to the tops of
which nail a scantling.
Across this scantling tie
sticks with the lower ends
sunk in the ground; set
the plants at the foot of
_ , . „ each stick and tie them to
the sticks as they grow. Acres of better tomatoes can be grown
by this method at practically no cost, as sawmill refuse answers
every purpose. This plan is equally adapted for large plantings
and for small gardens.

but a more abundant bearer and the fruits are more solid. It
yields a heavy crop of large smooth solid red fruits that ripen
slowly, therefore is a good keeper and a good shipper; it is
also remarkably drought resistant. An excellent tomato for
the home garden, for canning and for the late market.

makes large, smooth red fruits that are borne in great abund-

well, but is a fine tomato for the home garden and for canning.
Splendid crops of Norduke have been grown in wilt-infested
fields where the entire crop of non-wilt resistant tomatoes
was entirely killed by wilt.

No. 437. Wood’s Famous Brimmer Tomato
THE GREATEST TOMATO IN THE WORLD
Wood’s ramous Brimmer Tomato
Prom Italy: The Brimmers were an astonishment
to the natives and a source of never-ending gastro-
nomic enjoyment to us.
I find but one fault about Brimmers; they grow so
large I cannot eat a whole one at a meal.
Mrs. Jay Kennedy, Duplin County, N. C.
The Brimmers were the talk of the place. Every-
body said they were the finest they ever saw. Lots
of them weighed two pounds or more.
J. W. Powell, Norfolk County, Va.
Quality This 13 the point we wish to emphasize particularly, the Brimmer’s
— — — — strongest points being its delicious quality and flavor. The well
shaped, perfectly formed, solid, bright red fruits make a most tempting
• ^ 'v“en sliced, but they must be eaten to be fully appreciated. Many
never been able to enjoy tomatoes because of their acidity can
eat the Brimmer with impunity.
Productiveness The Brimmer is not the earliest tomato, although not more
. — . than 5 to 7 days later than the extra earlies, but the enor-
mous size and remarkable yield more than make up for any want of
earliness. The vines are vigorous, luxuriant and healthy and bear a tre-
mendous load of fruit right up to frost, the fruits holding their size till
the end of the season.
Size and Mfeight Some idea of the size and weight to which this splendid
- B tomato grows may be had from reading the few letters
below. These letters are samples of hundreds we have received telling of
single fruits grown weighing from 12 ounces to 3 pounds and from 15 to
18 inches in circumference.
Solid and Meatv supposed that in our specially selected strain
£ — of Ponderosa the limit in solidity and meatiness had
been reached. The Brimmer is practically all meat, has fewer seeds than
any tomato we have ever grown, and it is one of the very few tomatoes
that is absolutely without a core. The flavor is mild, delicate and free
from the acidity found in many other tomatoes.
For Canning There is only one single objection that can be raised— they
2_ are too large for the cans generally used. However, there
are always enough smaller fruits to supply what is to be canned for
home use.
How to Grow Big Brimmers ^ biggest tomatoes and the
_ largest yield, train to a single stem, tie
the vines up to strong 5-foot stakes; this gives ample room for develop-
ment, plenty of sunlight, holds them off the ground and enables the vines to
continue to yield a constant supply right up to frost.

No. 436. Wood’s Improved Ponderosa
Sometimes Called Beefsteak Tomato
Before our Brimmer was introduced Ponderosa was the tomato of outstand-
ing merit in size as well as quality. Unfortunately the old Ponderosa was
rough and uneven. In our improved strain the tendency to produce rough
fruits has been overcome without in any way sacrificing the many fine quali-
ties that made this fine tomato famous. With the exception of our Brimmer,
Ponderosa is without doubt the largest, meatiest and finest flavored tomato
'n cultivation, and is less acid than most varieties. The plants are healthy
™ luxuriant, quite blight resistant and continuous and abundant bearers.
They are so vigorous that even in dry seasons we have grown tomatoes of
unusual size. The fruits are practically all meat with exceptionally few
seeds. If trained to a single stem tomatoes weighing a pound or more are
not unusuah Color purplish pink. Pkt. 10c.; ya oz. 30c.; oz. 50c.; 14 lb. $1.40;

No. 433. Livingston’s Globe
(Purplish Pint.) — A tomato
of outstanding merit
Very productive;
the plants have
many short joints
at which clusters of
fruits are formed;
they are borne free-
ly all over the vine,
are uniform in size,
solid and heavy and
with hardly a trace
of a core. The globe shape allows more slices from each fruit
than other varieties. Probably no other tomato is as nearly
blight proof. A remarkably good keeper, and even when picked
quite green it ships well and colors up handsomely. These
qualities will be appreciated by shippers to distant markets.
We confidently believe that there is not a better strain of
Globe to be had anywhere than ours.
No. 431. Dwarf Stone
(Bright Bed.) — Bears the largest
fruits of any of the dwarf toma-
toes. It is very prolific; the fruits, which are borne in clusters
of 3 to 5, are all flesh, smooth, of good size, ripen evenly,
medium early, firm, solid, and the quality and flavor are first
class. An ideal tomato for the small garden as the plants can
be set as close as 2 4 inches apart each way and yet make an
abundant crop.
No. 430. John Baer
(Scarlet). — Not quite as
early as Spark’s Earliana,
though there are only a
few days difference, but
produces a heavier crop,
and the fruits are more
uniformly large and more
attractive. The first fruits
ripen among the earliest
and it continues to bear
large fruits longer than
most extra early to-
matoes. The vines are
hardy and exceptionally
productive; the fruits are
smooth, attractive and re-
markably large for so
early a tomato. Ripens to
the stem and does not
burst when dead ripe.
John
Beautv (Purplish Pink.) — Beauty comes
J as near being an ideal all-round
tomato as any one could
wish, except that is not
suitable for canning. It is
reasonably early, of good
size and shape; produces
plentifully and until the
end of the season ; the last
fruits you pick will still
be large, and they seldom
crack after a rain. They
may be picked quite green
and will ripen and color
up nicely and keep in per-
fect condition for several
days. Even when grown
under adverse conditions,
their vigor enables the
plant to yield a satisfac-
tory crop.
No. 432. Dwarf Champion
(Purplish Pink). — Sometimes
called the Tree Tomato. Es-
pecially desirable for small gardens as they may be grown as
close as three feet apart. Vines are stiff and upright, holding
the fruits well off the ground. Smooth and attractive, firm,
solid, with thick flesh and meaty center. Bears in clusters of
3 to 5 good-sized fruits and continues in bearing until frost.
We recommend it particularly for the small home garden.
No. 434. Early Acme
(Purplish Pink). — Through
all the years that Acme
has been grown, none of
the newer varieties have
supplanted it in popular
favor, and it is still one
of the best sellers. Early
and bears till cut off by
frost, holding to its good
size till the end of the
season. The tomatoes are
round, smooth, solid, of
good size, and free from
cracks; borne in clusters
of four or five; the quali-
ty and flavor are beyond
criticism.
No. 426.
Perfection

lent quality. The
skin is tough, the

every way a satis-
fying tomato for

Turnip and Rutabaga
CULTURE. — Spring sowings should be made as early as pos-
sible, so that the turnips may make their size before hot weather,
otherwise they will become tough and bitter. For spring sowings
there is nothing equal to the Milans, the Red Top Globes, Purple
Top Strapleaved and White Flat Dutch. For the regular crop,
sow in July and August, the salad varieties in August or Septem-
ber. Sow either broadcast or in drills 2 feet apart, cover % inch
deep, and thin out tc prevent overcrowding.
One ounce sows 100 feet of drill; 1% lbs. sows one acre in
drills; 2 lbs. one acre broadcast; sow salad varieties 3 lbs. to acre.
Milan Turnips — ^he Milans leave
r nothing to be de-
sired in the way of an extra early
garden turnip. They are at least
a week earlier than any other; have
small tops, so that the rows can be
planted close together. The flesh
is clear ivory white; the skin is
perfectly smooth. They are with-
out an equal for the table, being
of the most delicate flavor. Me-

HERBS
Only comparatively few housewives knew the delicious and
appetizing- flavors to be had by the addition to many dishes of
one or more of the old-fashioned herbs. They are easily grown
and preserved for use simply by drying and placing in tight jars.
No order for garden seeds should fail to include them.
Culture. — Soil for herbs should be carefully prepared and well
cultivated, as the plants are, for the most part, delicate and
easily choked out by weeds. Sow early in the spring, in drills
16 to 18 inches apart and transplant as soon as the plants are
large enough.
TO FBESEBTE HERBS, the plants should be cut when in
bloom and wilted in the sun and thoroughly dried in the shade,
and then kept in jars or bottles in order to preserve their season-
ing and medicinal qualities.
No. 475. ANISB. — An annual, cultivated principally for its seeds,
which have a pleasant aromatic flavor. The leaves are also
used for seasoning, garnishing and medicinally for colic and
nausea. Fkt. 5 cts.; oz. 15 cts.
No. 476. BALM. — A perennial easily propagated by division of
the roots or from seed. The leaf has a fragrant odor, some-
what similar to lemons, and is used for making balm tea for
use in fevers, and a pleasant beverage called “balm wine.”
Fkt. 10 cts.; oz. 40 cts.
No. 477. SWEET BASIL. — The stems have a flavor somewhat
similar to that of cloves. Used for flavoring soups, stews,
sauces and dressings. Hardy annual. Fkt. 5 cts.; oz. 20 cts.
No. 479. BOBAG-B. — A hardy annual. The leaves are used in
salads, the flowers for bee pasturage. The bruised leaves im-
mersed in water give an agreeable flavor. Fkt. 5 cts.; oz. 20 cts.

CULTURE. — A very clean piece of land is best for the to-
bacco plant beds, hence it is customary to burn a piece of land
in the woods for plant beds. This destroys grass, weeds and
insects, adds fertility through the action of the wood ashes,
and leaves the ground in good order. The seeds are sown about
February and protected by plant-bed cloth to keep off tobacco
flies. When large enough and weather is settled (about June),
set the plants out in highly manured or fertilized soil in 3%
foot rows, 3 feet between the plants. Constant care must be
given, cultivating, suckering, worming, etc. Methods of curing
differ according to the variety and color, whether to be sun or
flue-cured, etc.

s Leaf, Adcock, Warne, Improved "White Stem

DUST YOUR TOBACCO WITH A PEERLESS
Every tobacco grower should have a Peerless Dust Gun. It
dusts insecticides to the underside of the leaf as well as the top.
The weight is distributed equally front and rear, giving perfect
balance. You can operate it all day and not get tired. The fan
gives a strong blast that can be regulated to apply any quantity
of insecticide you wish. The fan revolves on ball bearings, housed
in grease-packed hubs, requiring only an occasional oiling. The
agitator and brush break up lumps and insure an even and con-
stant discharge. By mall, postpaid, $19.50. Hot prepaid, $19.00.

Wood’s High Grade Flower Seeds
Rules for success with Flower Seeds
The Soil best su*ted to flowers is a l'.ght rich loam, made as
1 11c ^juii gne an(j smooth as possible. If heavy, mix with sand
to lighten and make it friable. Many seeds are very small and
require a fine seed-bed. A good plan is to cover the place where
the seeds are to be sown with pine-tags, coarse manure, leaves
and other litter, and allow it to remain for a few weeks. The
soil will then be finely pulverized and in a splendid condition to
start the seeds.
Sow th<=> S#»od<s either broadcast or in rows, and cover lightly —
JUW illc lJccua a good general rule is to cover four to six
times the size of the seeds — and press the soil firmly. Small
seeds cannot come up if covered too deep. Very fine seeds should
be sown on the surface and pressed into the soil. To have the
earliest blooms, flowers that stand transplanting should be sown
early in boxes indoors. Water with a fine spray, do not let the
soil dry out, do not keep the young plants saturated, as they
may damp off. When three or four leaves have formed trans-
plant one inch apart in boxes or in the open ground if warm
enough.
ANNUALS attain full growth from seed, bloom and die in one
season. Sow hardy annuals in March or April, or earlier
indoors for transplanting outside. Hardy annuals may be
sown in the fall for earlier spring blooming. They make larger
flowers and more brilliant colors than spring sowings.
PERENNIALS usually bloom the second year after sowing and
continue to bloom for many years. Fall sowings or early
sowings indoors usually produce blooms the next season;
BIENNIALS bloom the second year after sowing and then die.
Like perennials, they may be sown early indoors or in the
fall.
HALF HARDY and TENDER FLOWERS should not be sown or
transplanted outside until the weather is settled and warm.
Cyclamen, Primulas, and Smilax are tender and should be
kept in pots, shifting to larger pots. as the growth requires.
HARD SHELLED SEEDS like Canna, Evening Glory, Brazilian
and Japanese Morning Glory should have a hole filed through
the outer shell, or soaked in warm water 36 hours before
planting.

Wooers Peerless Nasturtiums
For the time and labor required no other annual will produce such a lavish
profusion of bloom for so long a time as nasturtiums, and for brilliance and variety
of color they are unexcelled. They bloom best in thin, well-drained soil; the richer
the soil the fewer blooms and more leaf-growth. Dwarf nasturtiums make fine
bedding and border plants; the tall sorts- are well adapted for covering trellises,
unsightly places, for large beds and broad borders. Hardy annual.

to almost black; every intermediate color is represented, giving the most

AN OUNCE WILL PLANT 25 PEET OP BOW
■ — Ea-rly planting is advised so that they may bloom before very hot weather. Dig the soil deeply to allow deep
rooting. Open a trench tour to six inches deep, in which plant the seeds early in February and cover with an inch of soil and press
it firmly. When up about two inches begin cultivating and gradually fill the trench until it is level. Do not allow the roots to become
too dry; water at least twice a week. Be sure to gather the blooms, otherwise the vines will stop flowering.
PALL PLANTING. — Sweet peas may also be started in October, November and December, planting four to six inches deep:
give them slight protection and they will become well rooted and grow off at the first opening of spring and produce an abundance
of blooms earlier and for a longer season than spring plantings.

Wood’s High-Grade Clover Seeds
Sow Wood’s TRADE-MARK BRAND— There Is No Better
WHY SOW CLOVER
It does not exhaust the soil, but improves it.
To make two cutting’s of fine hay a year.
To make an excellent pasture.
To put humus in your land.
To make your land friable and easily worked.
To increase the yield of the crop that follows it.
To save in your fertilizer bill by storing nitrogen in your soil.
Because it belongs in every crop rotation.
Because it is the corner-stone of good farming.
Inoculate this
Seed with
FARMOGERM
The sowing of clover seed is absolutely essential to proper
rotation of crops and to keep up the fertility of the land. Ciovers
are the basis of successful farming, and are more generally used
for hay, pasturage and soil-improving crops than any of the
legumes. Clover not only makes a good forage or hay crop, but
_ improves the condition
and productiveness of
the land. In the rota-
tion of crops, clovers
are most valuable, and
in nearly all sections of
the country, excepting possibly the extreme
South, are considered indispensable. If our
tobacco and cotton growers would depend
more upon clover in proper rotation, they
would spend far less for commercial fer-
tilizers.
All the clovers except Crimson and Burr
can be sown in the spring. They store the
free nitrogen of the air through the aid of
the bacteria on the roots in the form of
balls or nodules. These nitrogen-gathering
bacteria flourish best in the presence of
lime. Fdr a sure stand, a big crop, and to
multiply the bacteria, apply lime.
RED CLOVER
Red clover not only furnishes excellent
pasturage and fine hay crops, but improves
the land and adds humus to the soil. On
good land it will yield two cuttings a year.
The first crop makes rich feed, and is the
most valuable for hay. It is particularly
well adapted for sowing with orchard grass
and tall meadow oat grass, as it ripens at
the same time, and sowing the three to-
gether will give larger yields of better
quality hay than sowing either alone.
A Good Mixture. — 15 lbs. of orchard grass,
12 lbs. of tall meadow oat grass and 8
pounds of clover will give excellent results,
and if the land is to be pastured, the addi-
tion of 6 pounds of
herd’s grass or red top
will increase the pas-
turage and the second
cutting of hay. When
sown by itself, sow 12 to 15 lbs. clover seed
to the acre, either in the fall or spring, or
at the last working of corn.
.Inoculate this
Seed with ■
FARMOGERM
We do not handle imported Italian
Clover. It grows well enough, but is
not hardy, and does not yield a second
cutting.
Preparation for Clovers and Grasses
A firm seed bed is of first importance, and the land should be
well and deeply plowed, and then harrowed and reharrowed, so as
to have the surface as fine as possible. It is always better to
prepare the land for clovers and grasses, if possible, some time
previous to seeding, and then wait for a good rain before seed-
ing. As soon as the land is dry enough run the harrow over the
soil to break the surface crust, then sow your grass and clover
seeds, covering afterwards with a light or brush harrow, or a
roller can be used if the ground is not wet.
Grass and clover seeds should not be covered more than an
average of about half an inch deep, but if sown on land that is
not well prepared it is almost impossible to prevent deeper cov-
ering. Our experience is so strongly in favor of a firm, well-
prepared seed bed, that we feel we cannot urge it too strongly
as of first importance if you desire good stands and good crops
of grasses and clovers.
A very general custom is to sow clover
Seeds, Red, Mammoth, Alsike and Alfalfa,
in the spring on fall sewn grain. The
objection to this is that if the protecting
grain is cut during a hot season the
young clover may suffer; again, the ripen-
ing grain requires a great deal of moisture,
and in dry seasons the clover may become
parched. Run a light harrow over the grain
and harrow again across the field after
sowing. The harrowing does the grain no
harm; in fact, it serves as a cultivation.
This is also a good time to apply fertilizers,
300 to 400 pounds to the acre — it will in-
crease the grain crop and materially help
the clover.
Clovers, and grasses too, are frequently
sown in the spring with grain as a nurse
crop. In such cases only half the usual
quantity of grain should be sown, other-
wise the tender clovers and grasses will be
smothered. Nurse crops should be cut
when in the milk state; the clovers and
grasses will give better returns than if the
grain is allowed to ripen.
MAMMOTH, or
SAPLING CLOVER
Similar to red clover, both in the appear-
ance of the seed and habit of growth; the
difference being that it grows larger and
is later in maturing. It is considered su-
perior as an improver on account of the
extra growth. It is a good variety for thin
soils, or to seed with timothy, meadow
fescue and herd’s grass. In appearance
the seed is identical with red clover, and
on this account it is impossible to distin-
guish between them. We always obtain
our supplies from reliable sources, but in
this, as in all other seeds, we give no war-
ranty but use every reasonable care to
supply Mammoth or Sap-(— — — —

JAPAN CLOVER
(Lespedeza
Striata)
On cultivated lands or those that will produce paying crops we do not recommend the
sowing of Japan Clover; but on waste and idle lands, poor, worn-out, sandy, gravelly soils,
in grazing woodlands or wherever another crop cannot be grown at a profit we recommend
Japan Clover in the highest terms. It grows on galled hillsides and on all kinds of soils,
even on the poorest, and being a legume, will extract nitrogen from the atmosphere and
store it in the roots for the benefit of later crops. Its abundant long taproots and laterals
when decayed open up the subsoil and leave in it great quantities of nitrogenous matter
that will increase the yield of succeeding crops. These deeply penetrating roots enable it
to withstand severe droughts as well as bring up valuable plant food from the subsoil.
Once started, even if only a thin stand is had at first, it soon spreads and takes posses-
sion of the land, frequently driving out broom sedge and other pests. It can be sown on
old pastures without special preparation, and will add very materially to the value of the
pasture. Notwithstanding its habit of spreading, it is in no way a pest, for it is easily
subdued by cultivation.
Except in the Gulf States and in the lower Mississippi Valley, where it grows tall enough
to cut for hay, it is recommended only for grazing and soil improving. Sown on a Bermuda
sod it will materially improve the quality of the grazing. 10 lbs. Japan clover with 8 lbs.
red top or herd’s grass will give a crop of hay and may be grazed till frost.
A Good Mixture. 10 lbs. Japan clover, 8 lbs. carpet grass and 3 lbs. Bermuda grass
makes a fine grazing mixture. Burr and sweet clovers, red top or herd's grass and hairy
vetch can be added to give the mixture greater variety and increase the yield.
When sown alone sow 10 to 15 lbs. Japan clover to the acre in March
or April. It does not make much of a showing the first season, but will
spread rapidly the second year.

ALSIKE CLOVER
SWEET CLOVER
Alsike clover grows thicker, is finer stemmed than red clover,
has plenty of leaf, and makes better hay and more and better
grazing than red clover and will grow on soils too acid, too wet,
or too deficient in lime to produce a paying crop of other clovers.
It is hardier, will stand severely cold weather, has a longer cut-
ting season and will stand uncut without deteriorating the
quality of the hay better than any other clover. It is adapted to
a variety of soils, succeeding on light upland and loafihy as well
as on bottom lands; alsike clover hay also contains a higher per
cent of digestible protein. Particularly valuable for grazing, for
it makes a thick undergrowth, greatly increasing the vield.
If ycu have not succeeded in getting a stand of other clovers
because your land is acid or moist, sow Alsike.
By mail, postpaid, lb. 45 cts.; 5 lbs. $1.85; 10 lbs. $3.45; 25 lbs.

Alsike is the hardiest of the clovers and does not winter kill.
Lasts for several years, and has a long cutting season.
Fine stemmed, leafy, and easily cured.
Grows better than red clover on lands deficient in lime.
Particularly good for grazing.
Grows better on moist and acid lands than other clovers.
WHITE BOKHARA, OR MELILOTUS ALBA
If you have a piece of ground that is too poor to bring a
grazing crop, sow it in sweet clover. In a few years that
same land will grow crops that will surprise you.
On lands too poor to grow
a paying crop of corn, on
worn out, galled, waste land,
on land too sandy to grow
any other crop, or too acid
or too moist for other clovers,
sow sweet clover, and after
a few years the land can be
brought into condition for
general crops. It is adapted
to a wider variety of soils
than any other clover; is use-
ful for pasture, for forage,
for ensilage, for bees, for
turning under to improve, for
it is a nitrogen gatherer, and
for inoculating the land for
alfalfa. The deep roots break
up, aerate and drain stiff sub-
soils and add humus,
feeding value is high, con-
taining G9 per cent digesti
protein, compared with
per cent in alfalfa and 46 p
cent in red clover; stock pas-
tured on sweet clover make
gains that compare favorably
with those obtained from
either alfalfa or red clover.
In spite of its bitter taste
stock soon learn to like it.
The first season it grows IV2
to 2% feet high, but if cut
when 6 inches high it stools
out and makes a more tender . . .
growth for grazing. The second year it grows 5 to id ieet
high, and should be cut before the first bloom buds appear.
Give sweet clover a thoroughly compacted
Seed-bed with enough loose soil on top to
cover the seeds. On very acid soils an ap-

Wood’s Pedigree Alfalfa
The Crop That Pays Constant Dividends
The Crop That Builds Soils
Alfalfa Is one of the few crops that cannot he overproduced. It
stands for years, yields several cutting's a season and makes a hay
abont as hig'h in protein as wheat bran — it more nearly approaches
perfection as a forage crop than any one other crop. When fed with a
grain ration, it supplies the protein necessary for a balanced food. For
dairy, breeding and fattening cattle, hogs and sheep, it is the ideal hay.
As a soil builder, one of the experiment stations claims that it adds
more than twice as much ammonia to the soil as red clover. Alfalfa
does not ask the farmer to buy expensive nitrogen, but gets all it needs
from the air and stores it in the land to make bigger the crops that
follow it.
FACTS ABOUT ALFALFA
Once established, it lasts for years.
Yields 3 to 5 cuttings nutritious and palatable hay
each season.
Feeding value high — contains as much protein as
wheat bran.
Does not exhaust the soil; it enriches it.
Claimed to add twice as much nitrogen to the land
as Bed Clover.
Bequires but little care and attention.
One of the farm’s most profitable crops.
Sow only on well-prepared land; kill the weeds by constant cultivation
from plowing to seeding time. Sow on a deep, well-drained soil; alfalfa can-
not live with its feet in water. Before sowing, inoculate the seeds with
Farmogerm; it pays, and is an insurance against failure. You will find de-
scription of Farmogerm on page 73.
DIME ACID SOHiS. Test your soil by taking a handful from 2 to 3
inches below the surface, wet it with rain water if not already moist, insert
a piece of blue litmus paper (get it at any drug store). If, fifteen minutes
later, the paper has changed to pink, your soil is acid. To correct acidity,
spread 1 to 2*4 tons of lime to the acre.

GENUINE KANSAS ALFALFA
SOW 20 to 30 pounds to the acre in March or April,
covering 1 inch deep on light sandy soils, % to 1 inch
deep on heavier soils. Our experience has been very satis-
factory when alfalfa is sown on fall-sown grain. To in-
sure an even distribution, sow with either a Cahoon Seed Sower or a Cyclone
Seeder (see page ?).
In hardiness, Kansas Alfalfa ranks
next to and is nearly as hardy as
Hardy Northwestern. It is hardy enough to stand the winters except in high
altitudes and where the winters are unusually severe. It is the alfalfa we
recommend for general sowing. In the Piedmont and Eastern sections of the
South it has stood the winter splendidly; makes a quick spring growth and
yields several cuttings each season. By mall postpaid, lb. 40 cts.; 5 lbs. $1.60;

HARDY NORTHWESTERN ALFALFA “gjX a“a„Sf;
that is particularly hardy. Being grown in a cold climate, the tender plants
are soon killed and only the hardy plants produce seeds. It stands the rigor-
ous weather conditions of high altitudes and sections where the winters are
very severe. We recommend it for the mountain districts where other alfal-
fas are liable to winter-kill. By mail postpaid, lb. 45 cts.; 5 lbs. $1-95 ; 10 lbs.

and prevents heaving by frequent freezes and thaws, and also
adapts it to shallower soils. By mail postpaid, lb. 65 cts.; 5 lbs.

UTAH ALFALFA Utah produces immense quantities of
seeds that are generally sold as “Al-
falfa” without reference to its origin. It is the alfalfa that was
generally used before the more hardy strains were developed.
It has proved very satisfactory for sections having compara-
tively mild winters and has the advantage of a quick, early
growth, and frequently an extra cutting. By mail postpaid,

BEGGAR WEED,
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER
or FLORIDA CLOVER
Beggar Weed deserves a better name, for it is a nitrogen-
gatherer, makes a hay rich in protein and relished by stock, and
is of real value on thin sandy land and pine barrens for pasture
or hay; it is even more fattening than alfalfa and cow-peas.
Once established, it reseeds itself and little care is needed to
secure a crop year after year. It grows 5 to 7 feet high on
good land, but should be cut when coming into bloom, or when
3 to 4 feet high; at this stage it makes a
highly nutritious hay. It makes a fine cover
crop, especially for orchards. The seeds ger-
minate slowly, so the land should be clean
before planting, so that weeds will not
smother the young plants. Sow when frost
is over and until the middle of June, 3 to
in 3-foot drills, or 10 to 12 lbs. broadcast.

It adapts itself to a variety
of soils, provided they are

rated with water, but suc-
cess best on loamy uplands
or moderately stiff soils, al-
though it does quite well
on soils that are inclined to
be of a sandy texture. It is
a deep-rooted perennial

grown for pasture only, other grasses, such as red top or herd’s
grass, Kentucky blue, meadow fescue or Randall grass, perennial
and Italian rye grasses and alsike clpver may be added to make
a permanent pasture. When sown alone, sow 30 to 35 pounds to

cotton sections where it may be cut twice a season, making ex-
cellent green feed and hay; stands close grazing and is not in-
jured by moderate frosts. It is hardy and thrives on a wide
variety of soils except those that are very dry and sandy, but
prefers a fairly heavy and somewhat moist situation. It is a per-
ennial, growing 3 to 5 feet high; has a long-growing season,
starting early in the spring and remaining green till frost. Sow

recovers quickly when grazed down, and as a grazing and fat-
tening grass has few equals. It is recommended for grazing,
for lands liable to wash, for galled places, railroad embank-
ments, mill dams, etc., its matted roots binding the soil and
preventing washing better than any other known grass. If
grown with burr clover, Japan clover, carpet grass and vetch,
an all-the-year-round grazing may be had. For lawns, golf
courses end athletic grounds it makes a tough, even turf with-
out clumps, and recovers quickly after cutting. To have an

TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS
Tall Meadow Oat Grass.
(Evergreen Grass) —
This grass seems to
make more leafage
and grazing, a larger yield of hay,
and to keep green longer, both
during the winter and summer,
than most grasses. It is espe-
cially adaptable to the South. It
withstands the heat and drought
of midsummer and cold of win-
ter; starts very early in the
spring and continues to give
good grazing until late in the
fall. For hay it can be cut twice
in a season, frequently producing
nearly double as much hay as
timothy. Its nutritive qualities
are first class; ripens at the
same time as orchard grass and
red clover. It is best adapted
for good loamy uplands, but
gives excellent results on nearly
all soils, and better than most
other grasses on light and sandy
soils. Sown with orchard grass
and red clover, sow 12 lbs. tall
meadow oat grass, 15 lbs. or-
chard grass, and 8 lbs. red
clover. The addition of 6 or 7
lbs. of fancy clean red top or
herd’s grass seed to the acre to
this mixture increases the after-
math and the yield of grazing.
When sown by itself, sow 25 to
30 lbs. to the acre, either in the
spring or fall. Present price, by

Meadow Fescue, or Randall Grass
Meadow Pescue, or
Randall Grass,
Meadow Fescue is particularly
well adapted to our Piedmont and
mountainous districts, and also
gives excellent results on good
loamy or heavy soils and on low
grounds. It is a splendid spring
and summer grass, stands close
grazing, and makes more and
thicker foliage than even or-
chard and tall meadow oat grass.
The roots penetrate deeply, adapt-
ing it to poor soils and making
it quite drought resistant.
It is especially useful for fall
and winter pasturage, as it re-
mains green throughout the win-
ter. It is at its best after two
or three years, and although used
principally in pastures, it makes
a good hay, and cattle thrive on
it whether green or dry. A good
mixture when sown for hay is 7
lbs. meadow fescue, 6 lbs. herd’s
grass, 8 lbs. timothy and 5 lbs.
sapling clover. For a permanent
pasture in which meadow fescue
will predominate, we recommend
10 lbs. meadow fescue, 8 lbs. or-

grass, 6 lbs. Kentucky blue, and 5
lbs. red clover. When sown alone,

THE GRASS THAT MADE KENTUCKY FAMOUS.
Sow 35 to 40 lbs. to the acre.
Red top or herd's
grass is one or the
most valuable and
satisfactory grasses
for the South, and it
is highly recommend-
ed for sowing on
lands that will not
grow Kentucky blue
grass. It is well
adapted to a great va-
riety of soils and sit-
uations, succeeding
well on light, sandy
soils, as well as stiff
upland and low
ground. and grows
better in moist situa-
tions than almost any
other grass. It is one
of the easiest grasses
to get a stand, and
once established, it
thickens and im-
proves, taking posses-
sion of the land and
increasing in yield
each successive year.
Red top or herd’s
grass should be a
large constituent part
of all mixtures in-
tended for permanent
pasture or hay. While
it lasts a long time
and spreads rapidly,
it is eagily eradicated
It makes excellent
pasturage and fine
quality hay. W hen
well established it
spreads and will sup-
plant other grasses. It
is also one of the best
grasses for hillsides or
Red Top, or Herd’s Grass
lands likely to wash.
As it matures at the same sea-
son as timothy, the two grasses
are splendidly adapted for sowing
together for hay and for grazing
afterwards, sowing 6 lbs. red top
or herd’s grass and 8 lbs. of timo-
thy per acre. A mixture contain-
ing 5 lbs. red top or herd’s grass,
6 lbs. timothy, 7 lbs. meadow
fescue and 5 lbs. sapling or mam-
moth clover will give greater va-
riety to the hay.

more to become well established, we suggest that it be sown
with at least one other grass. If sown with a single grass use
perennial rye grass, but a better mixture would be 15 lbs. Ken-
tucky blue. 5 lbs. red top or herd’s grass, 5 lbs. perennial rye
grass, 10 lbs. meadow fescue or Randall grass and 5 lbs. red
clover.
Although slow to establish itself, Kentucky blue grass, once
a stand is had on land to which it is adapted, lasts for many
years, as the plants spread with their underground roots and will
improve year to year, and rarely needs reseeding. A thick, well
set sod of Kentucky blue grass makes an ideal pasture, and for
all lands adapted to its growth should be one of the principal
constituents of all pasture mixtures.
Spring sowings of Kentucky blue grass should be made from
the .middle of February till the middle of April — the earlier the
better to give it a good start before the weeds. Cover with a
roller or brush; the roller affords the best possible covering for
all fine grass seeds as it does not cover them too deep and as-
sures a firm seed bed.
Our special grass and clover pasture mixtures described on
page 60 all contain a liberal proportion of Kentucky blue grass.

TIMOTHY
Timothy
The Most Extensively Grown Hay Grass — 12 to 15 lbs. Sows an Acre.
For hay, timothy is the best known and most extensively grown of all grasses. A stand is easily
established, it is inexpensive to sow, it starts quickly and yields its best crop the year after it is
sown, but the following year’s crop may be equally as heavy if liberally top-dressed with stable ma-
nure. It stands up well, is easily cured and is heavy for its bulk, for which reason it has proved the
most profitable hay crop when grown for market. The yield on good land frequently runs from IV2
to 3 tons to the acre.
Timothy requires good land to make good crops — this applies particularly to timothy, for, unlike
other grasses, it does not enrich the soil, but exhausts it, so that top-dressing with stable manure
or fertilizer is advised; the fertilizer should contain a liberal amount of ammonia. If sown with
sapling clover the clover will help to supply nitrogen.
Meadow fescue or Randall grass, red top or herd’s grass and sapling clover all mature at the same
season as timothy, and are good grasses to sow with it for hay and grazing, increasing the yield of
hay and the yield and value of the pasturage. A good mixture is 6 lbs timothy, 5 lbs. red
herd’s grass, 7 lbs. meadow fescue and 5 lbs. sapling clover; this Ire sow"
hay and fine pasturage on good loamy soils or on low ground. If timothy and saplinQ clover are
together, mix 8 lbs. timothy and 6 lbs. sapling clover. , recommended as
The common practice in the West of sowing timothy and red clover mixed is not recommenaea. as
red clover ripens earlier than timothy and timothy is easily injured by early cutting and ti e l ay
shrinks in weight. The best time to cut is when it is in bloom; it is then easier to cure

Sudan Grass
A Wonderful Quick-Growing Summer Hay
Grass. — As big a yielder as Johnson grass,
but it has none of the latter’s objection-
able features, for Sudan grass can never become a pest, for it
is an annual with short fibrous roots that are killed by frost.
Its greatest value is for hay, which
is well liked by stock — the entire
plant, leaves, stems and heads, is
eaten. It should largely supplant
millet, which ymlds only a single
cutting, wherea“ Sudan grass will
give at least two. It stools out
wonderfully after the first cutting;
it is not uncommon to find more
than a hundred stems growing from
a single root. The hay is equal to
timothy in feeding value, and supe-
rior to millet. It is also strongly
drought resistant. Sow it after the
ground becomes thoroughly warm,
either broadcast or in rows two feet
apart, and cultivate like corn.
When sown in rows it grows 6 to 7
feet high; when sown broadcast it
grows 4 to 5 feet high. If sown
broadcast, the hay is finer and
rather better than when grown in
rows. Cut when in bloom, for at
that stage the feeding value is
highest; yet there are few grasses
so little injured by standing be-
yond the proper stage for cutting.
Sudan grass may be profitably
grown with cowpeas and soybeans,
as being of erect growth it supports
the pea vines and makes the cut-
ting easier and allows them to cure
more quickly; the mixture will give
a better-balanced ration than either
fed alone. Almost any soil, from
heavy clay to light sand, will grow
Sudan grass. Sow 5 to G lbs. to

— The Grass That Thrives on Close Graz-

one of the most valuable permanent
grazing grasses for that section of the South extending from
the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf and approximately 125 to 150
miles inland. It is remarkable for its ability to grow on poor
sandy soils; it thrives vigorously on any kind of soil if moisture
conditions are favorable, even if the land is acid. Compared
with Bermuda grass, Carpet grass is its equal in feeding value;
it may be grazed considerably later in the fall and earlier in
the spring; it is no-t injured by frosts that kill the Bermuda
and greens up better during mild winter weather; it does bet-
ter on poor sandy soils and furnishes more grazing. It is
strictly a pasture grass and stands close grazing and heavy
trampling; in fact, it thrives best and spreads more rapidly
when closely grazed, and trampling seems to improve it. It
does splendidly sown with Japan clover and burr clover, the
combination giving an all-the-year pasture. All Carpet grass
pastures should have added 5 lbs. Japan clover to the acre. On
public parks and golf courses it will make a thick, leafy sod
that improves with close cutting. Carpet grass may be grown
wherever the temperature does not fall below 10 degrees. It is
easily eradicated by plowing. Sow from early spring till mid-
summer 10 lbs. to the acre; on lawns and public parks heavier
seeding is advisable. By mail postpaid, lb. 70 cts.; 5 lbs. $3.15;

Wood’s Special Grass and Clover Mixtures
SOW THEM FOR BIGGER AND BETTER GRASS CROPS
ABOUT SOWING MIXED GRASSES
It is a well-established fact that mixtures containing a num*
Der of grasses produce greater yields than if only one or even
two grasses are sown. This is demonstrated in nature, for in
every old, established pasture you will find many different
grasses, each suppijung food at its proper season. Beal, in his
well-known book, “Grasses of North America, says: “It has
been repeatedly shown that a judicious mixture of several
varieties will produce a larger yield than can be obtained when
one variety is sown by itself. Many sorts will occupy the
ground more completely than one sort and help keep out the
weeds.” Another eminent authority on grasses writes: “I hold
this proposition to be indisputable, that any soil will yield a
larger arid more nutritious crop, if sown with several kinds of
grasses than when sown with only one or two species. Indeed
it is a well-established fact that a mixture of only two or three
grasses and clover will produce a less amount of hay than can
be obtained by sowing a larger number of varieties together.”
Grasses differ in their manner of growth, some growing in
tufts and require other grasses to fill in; they differ in the sea-
son when each reaches perfection; they differ in the kinds of
soils on which they do best. It is, therefore, necessary to have
a thorough knowledge of the character and requirements of each
grass in order to make up grass mixtures in proper proportions,
suited to different soils, for different purposes and that will give
maximum yields of hay or pasturage.
WOOD’S SPECIAL GRASS AND CLOVER MIXTURES are
made up from grasses in such proportions as experience has
shown are best suited to the different soils and purposes for
which they are recommended. Those for permanent pasture are
composed of grasses which succeed each other in growth and
give a succession from the first of spring till late in the winter;
in those for cutting for hay we have combined grasses which
ripen together. The different mixtures are composed of grasses
and clovers best adapted to the soils and situations for which
they are recommended, and in such proportions as experience
has proved will produce the best results.

Wood’s Famous Ensilage Corns
THE SILO FILLERS
Wood’s Virginia Ensilage
This continues to be one of the most satisfactory ensilage
corns, making a large growth of broad, thick, succulent fodder
The discriminating dairyman of the North and Middle West
recognize its merits as a silo filler and plant it in increasing
quantities each season. At a low cost, it will yield an immense
amount of succulent fodder for feeding either in the green state
or as ensilage. For general planting throughout the country it
has proved a real silo filler. We have not heard of a single case
in which Virginia Ensilage disappointed. Even in the short-
growing season in Canada it makes a growth of 12 to 15 feet with
a luxuriant growth of broad, thick foliage that makes the very
best ensilage. By mall postpaid, qt. 30 cts.; Vs peck 70 cts.; peck

Wooers Eureka Ensilage
Eureka is a double-purpose corn, for aside from being a first-
class ensilage corn, as a field variety it ranks high in yield. It is
tall and leafy, 12 to 15 feet high, with an enormous growth of
fodder. It bears one to two ears to the stalk, the ears frequently
over 12 inches; and like all corns that bear more than one ear to
the stalk, should be grown on good lands. We recommend it for
bottom-lands and low-grounds. By mail postpaid, qt. 30 cts.;

Virginia Horsetooth Ensilage
An old standard ensilage corn with a record covering many
years of splendid performance in yield of tonnage. In addition
to height of stalk and abundance of leaf that has both breadth
and thickness, it yields a good-sized ear with a small cob com-
pletely covered with horse-tooth shaped grains of unusual depth.
It has an established reputation with dairymen throughout the
East and Middle West where it has proved a most excellent
ensilage corn, and in every way thoroughly satisfactory. By mail

Wood’s Pamimkey Ensilage
Our Pamunkey Ensilage Corn is bred for height of stalk,
breadth and thickness of foliage, as well as size and number of
ears. It is of strong and vigorous growth, attaining a height of
13 to 15 feet, yields an unusually heavy growth of fodder and
usually bears two ears to the stalk. The ears are 10 to 12 inches
long, 2 Vi to 2Vs inches in diameter, with a good depth of grain.
In tonnage of ensilage we do not believe it can be surpassed.
It is a real silo filler, as proved by reports from dairymen and
stockmen in every section of the country. We do not believe
that any ensilage corn has ever been bred that can equal our
Pamunkey Ensilage for height of stalk and tonnage. Let a
portion of your planting the coming season be Pamunkey and
prove to yourself how much superior it is to corns grown in
your locality. By mail postpaid, qt. 30 cts.; Vs peck 80 cts.; peck

Ensilage Corn as Grown in Virginia
Wood’s Virginia Ensilage Corns are bred up
especially for ensilage purposes. They have es-
tablished a wonderful reputation as silo fillers.
This reputation is not local, but has extended to
the dairymen and stockmen throughout the North
and Middle West where the yields far outstrip the
locally grown varieties. They make the height
of stalk and abundance of blade that insure an
immense tonnage. This increased tonnage means
making ensilage at a lower cost and making your
finished product in milk or stock at a lower price.
This means more profit on your farm operations.

WHITE CORNS

WootTs Dixie
An exceptionally well-bred corn — one that we believe will
give any one who plants it a materially increased corn yield. It
represents years of painstaking work by one of the most success-
ful corn breeders in Virginia, who bred it for depth of grain,
small cob and as a consistent bearer of two or more ears to the
stalk. The ears run 10 inches and over in length, 7% inches in
circumference, carry 16 to 20 rows of corn Vz inch deep on a cob
not over 1% inches in diameter. These measurements were made
on a large number of average sized ears. The ears are well filled
out at both ends, the tip being practically covered and the grains
set close on the cob. The depth of grain to size of cob gives an
exceptionally good proportion of grain to cob, which, together
with the fact that for several years it has consistently yielded
two or more ears to the stalk, gives a good idea of the increased
corn yield possible by planting this well-bred variety. By mail

Wood’s Pedigree Boone County
There is probably no one white corn as extensively planted as
Boone County. It has had unusual care in breeding and selection,
and is recognized as one of the biggest yielders and has taken
numerous prizes at state and county fairs for the best ears.
Our stock was grown from seeds certified by the Virginia
Crop Improvement Association and we believe is as pure a
strain as can be had.
It makes a 10 to 11-foot stalk of medium size with a fair
amount of fodder. The stalks bear one to two good ears, usually
10 to 11 inches long, that are carried 4 to 5 feet high. The grains
are not flinty, so make good corn for feeding and milling. The
ears are well filled at butt and tip; the grains are deep, soft
and pure white.

Woodburn White Dent
Woodburn White Dent
In the breeding of this corn
the breeders worked toward two
definite objectives — increased
production and resistance to
wind-storms. It took twenty
years of careful work, but they
were highly successful, for our
planting stock was secured from
a crop that averaged 100 bushels
to the acre. It is a vigorous
growing white dent; the stalk
is thick and leafy; grows 10 to
11 feet high; bears one to two
good ears that are 11 to 12
inches long, well filled out at
butt and tip, and does not
shrivel like many big-eared
corns. It matures in about 100
days. One of the most success-
ful Prince Edward County corn
growers wrote that it outyield-
ed any other corn he had grown
by 10 to 20 bushels to the acre.
A Chesterfield County farmer
tells us he made better than 60
bushels to the acre, but that
his land was only medium. He
likes it because the majority of
stalks carried two ears and had
plenty of broad, healthy fodder.

“Down home,” in Eastern North Carolina, for the last twenty-
two years a corn grower has done some fine work in corn breed-
ing using the field selection method. He has bred up a corn that
will yield two uniformly large ears to the stalk. The ears are
carried about half way up the medium tall stalk, which often
bends under the weight of grain when both ears are on the same
side of the stalk. Has a medium sized white cob and shells about
90 per cent grain when dry. It is reasonably weevil resistant,
and can be relied upon to produce a maximum yield on good land.
There are practically no barren stalks. The official test of the

Pedigree Reid’s Yellow Dent Com
Reid’s Yellow Dent has a long: and honorable record for depend-
ability, good yields and generally satisfactory crops.
Since 1910, when it won the $1,000 Grand Prize at the National
Corn Show over yellow corns from every part of the country, our
strain has been in the hands of the same grower, and in the
meantime has been steadily improved by careful and constant
selection. Since 1910 it has won numerous other first prizes, the
last being at the Virginia State Agricultural Fair last fall, where
it won for the sixth consecutive year first prizes for the best sin-
gle ear and the best ten ears of yellow corn.
It is a big yielder on good loam and heavy land, making ears
that average 9 to 10 inches long with IS to Id rows to the ear,
and well filled out at butt and tip. It is a true dent corn, the
grains are medium narrow, wedge-shaped, and tne rows are so
close that there is practically no waste space oetween the rows.
The cob is small for the size of the ear; makes one to two ears
to the stalk. By mail postpaid, qt. 30 cts.; Y- peek SO cts.; peck

Wood’s Gold Standard
A detailed description of our prize winning Gold Standard
Corn, of how well filled out at tips and butts, would not tell the
story nearly so well as the above illustration. It is a repro-
duction of a photograph and shows every bit of space on the
cob covered with corn with no waste space between the rows.
The grains are deep on a medium small cob, the proportion of
corn to cob much larger than on ordinary yellow corns as usually
planted. This means more grain to the ear than is had from
the shallow grained, big cob varieties. The stalks average about
S**!® *eet high, are good and stout with an ample growth of
rodder and yield from one to two big ears to the stalk. The
grains are deep, bright yellow; the cob is medium sized. By

Improved Golden Dent
A corn of outstanding prominence, and for a generation the
most generally planted yellow variety. It makes a beautiful ear,
and whether on the cob or shelled no yellow corn is more attrac-
tive. The grains are deep, medium wide and firmly set on a
small cob. The shuck is close and completely protects the tip
against adverse weather. We have known it to be under water
for a day and come out perfectly sound. Our stock is well bred
the ears well filled out at both ends, it is a good yielder, it is
what we would call a thoroughly dependable corn in every par-
ticular, one that we do not hesitate to recommend. Makes one
to two ears to the stalk. Our Improved Golden Dent has become
a standard yellow corn for planting throughout the Southeastern
States, is early, thoroughly acclimated and yields uniformly good
crops. By mail postpaid, qt. 30 cts.; Yz peck 80 cts.; peck $1.30;

Improved Learning
Learning is known the country over as a big yielding, early
maturing yellow corn, and throughout the corn belt is as much
grown as any other yellow variety. It originated in the Middle
West, but having been grown and selected here for a number
of years has been thoroughly acclimated.
Learning does not make a large growth of either stalk or fod-
der, all the vigor of the plant going to make corn, making gen-
erally two big ears to the stalk with rarely a barren stalk. It
does well on all soils, but prefers light to medium soils. The
grain is wedge-shaped and covers the entire cob. The ears
average about 10 inches long with 18 to 20 rows to the ear. The
color is a deep, reddish yellow. Matures in about 100 days. By

Oats
Burt, or Ninety-Day Oats
If you have not seeded your oats by the first part of March,
the Burt is a safe oat to plant, for in the hands of thousands or
successful farmers it has proved its value as a good cropper and
can generally be depended upon to mature in time to escape
injury from heat. It makes a good growth of straw, is an
abundant yielder of bright, clean, heavy grain, is free from rust,
and what is of equal importance when plantings are late, it is
of early maturity. Early plantings can be cut in time to put
the same land in orn, peanuts, cowpeas, millet or other summer
crops. The Burt is a prime favorite for growing on the light
sandy soils of 'he coast sections of the South Atlantic States,
where the results have been uniformly good. The grains some-
what resemble the Red Rust-Proof, except that they are a little
lighter in color. By mail postpaid, peck 55 cts.; y2 bushel 90 cts.

Swedish Select Oats
Grown from Certified Seed
Those who prefer a white oat for
spring seeding will make no mis-
take in sowing Swedish Select. One
of the State experiment stations re-
ports in a test covering several
years an average yield of slightly
more than ten bushels to the acre
over other varieties tested, and that
the proportion of kernel to the
whole grain averaged about 75 per
cent. It has given especially good
crops on light soils without any ten-
dency to lodge, yet the straw is not
large in proportion to the grain,
which is large, thick and plump. The
remarkable root growth makes it a
good drought resister — a worth-
while quality when grown on light
soils. By mall postpaid, peck 60

Red Rust-Proof Oats
In the South Atlantic States the
Red Rust-Proof Oats have attained
a prominent place in farming oper-
ations. This is particularly true in
the coast region where other varie-
ties have not proved altogether sat-
isfactory, but where the Red Rust-
proof seems to be especially well
adapted to the light, sandy soil of
that section. They are vigorous
growers, robust and productive, and
have heavy heads. They are also
preferred for sowing on low
grounds and on land where other
varieties seem inclined to rust. By

What Oats to Plant
The oat Is a cool season plant and requires early planting.
If you can get them in early, the Virginia Gray 'Winter, V.
F. I. No. 1 Black Winter and Bed Bust-Proof are recom-
mended; if you cannot get them in before March 1st to 15th,
the earlier kinds, like Fulghum, Burt and Swedish Select
will no doubt give better results on account of their earlier
maturity.
Fulghum Oats
The Fulghum is probably the most popular of the rust-proof
varieties; they are certainly one of the earliest. Its productive-
ness, probably more than any of its other good qualities, has
contributed to its wide popularity. They stool out splendidly,
have large, full heads, fine, plump grains and strong straw that
stands about 3 feet high.
For three years a careful check
was kept of the performance of
Fulghum oats in comparison with
yields from other varieties, the av-
erage in Fulghum the first year
being 300 acres, the third year 3,000
acres. The average yield from Ful-
ghum for the three years was 12
bushels to the acre more than all
other varieties. It has plump grains
and exceptional heavy weight, the
weight per measured bushel aver-
aged 35 pounds, often reaching 37
pounds, and almost never falling
below 32 pounds. By mail postpaid,
peck 65 cts.; y2 bushel $1.05; bushel

Black Winter Oats
V. P. I, Strain No. 1
Sometimes called Hutcheson Oats.
This oat originated from a single
head selection by the Virginia Agri-
cultural Experiment Station at
Blacksburg. They have made ex-
haustive tests each year in com-
parison with other winter varieties,
and it has consistently outyielded,
by 5 bushels to the acre, the
heaviest yielding winter oat. Its
most prominent characteristics in
addition to fine yield are resistance
to winter killing, a low per cent of
hull and corresponding high per
cent of kernel; earliness, maturing
before wheat harvest, and heavy
stems, making it storm resistant
and less liable to blow down. Their
adaptability for spring planting is
proved by the fact that most of the
crops certified were spring planted.
Plant early, say by March 1st. By

the market value of your crop. It can be easily prevented by
treating your oats with Formalin before planting.

(see page 87) spray with Formalin mixed with an equal quantity
of water; shovel the grain thoroughly and cover with bagging
for 4 hours; it is then ready to plant.

Probably the best reason for the wide popularity of Virginia
Gray Winter Oats is their extreme hardiness, for there is no
other oat that will stand such extreme cold. Another good
claim for their popularity is their stooling propensity, which
accounts in part for the heavy yield. Their strong turfing and
stooling characteristics give them advantages over all other oats
for grazing purposes. They have the further advantage of
weight; it is not unusual to have them weigh 35 to 40 pounds to
the bushel. By mall postpaid, peck 75 cts.; y2 bushel $1.25; bushel

THE ECONOMICAL PASTURE CROP
FATTENS SHEEP WITHOUT GRAIN
A Quick and Cheaply Grown Pastugage for Sheep,
Hogs, Cattle and Poultry.
Ready in 6 to 8 Weeks from Sowing
Bow It as early as possible — late March or early April is not too late.
3 to 4 lbs. plant an acre In drills ; 6 to 8 lbs. broadcast.
Formerly rape was grown especially for sheep and lambs, but in
recent years it has been found equally good for providing pasture
for all kinds of stock. It has been estimated to yield more than
10 tons of green forage per acre that, for fattening is claimed to be
worth, pound for pound, double the value of clover. One of the
State experiment stations reports that the lowest average gain on
lambs fed on ripe alone was 7 to 8 lbs. per month. Another experi-
ment station recommends the sowing of 5 to 6 lbs. rape to the acre
in corn at the last working, and stating that this has proved a
particularly profitable practice, as an enormous crop can be
at a cost of about 50 to 60 cts. per acre. An acre of rape will
pasture twenty hogs for two months.
Do not turn stock into a rape pasture when they are hungry, nor
when the rape is wet, as it may induce bloating; allow them to
remain a short while the first day, and increase the time each suc-
ceeding day. Give stock access to salt while feeding on rape;
they should also have hay or straw convenient in case of bloat.
CUIiTUBE. — Sow as early as the land can be made ready, the
earlier the better, but sowings as late as April have been very
successful. Sow either broadcast or in drills 18 inches to 2 feet
apart; when grown in drills and cultivated occasionally, the leaves
will cover the intervening space; this method is a fine weed killer.
Allow 8 to 10 weeks for it to attain its maximum growth.
Sow it again next fall to have grazing during the fall, winter and
spring.

BUCKWHEAT
Buckwheat is the poor land crop, preferring light soils, but
grows well on nearly all soils that are not too rich. No grain
crop can be grown in so short a time, only eight to ten weeks
being necessary to make the crop. No crop is easier to grow;
it is a good soil improver; a splendid summer cover crop for
orchards; bees that feed on buckwheat blooms give an increased
production of honey; it is a most excellent late summer catch
crop, requiring but little preparation and labor; it is fine for
smothering weeds on lands to be put into grass in the fall, and
buckwheat flour makes the most delicious cakes.
As the grains will not form in hot weather, sowings should be
deferred until eight or ten week’s before frost. Sow one bushel
'to the acre, either broadcast or with a grain drill.

Wood’s Seed Potatoes
Culture Potatoes thrive best in a sandy loam that contains
nlcntv of vegetable matter; a clover sod or land that
was heavily manured for the previous crop supply ideal condi-
tions. Cut the potatoes, leaving two eyes to each piece, and plant
15 inches apart in three-foot rows, 4 inches deep for early plant-
ings, 6 inches deep for later plantings; cultivate frequently to
keep down the weeds and conserve moisture, for a shortage
of moisture means a poor crop. Before the plants appear above
ground, run a light harrow over them to kill the weeds and break
the crust. Apply fertilizer either in the row or broadcast before
the potatoes are planted, and be sure to work it into the soil so
that it will not come in contact with and burn the potatoes. Do
not use stable manure, as it means scabby potatoes. Continue
cultivating till the plants attain full growth and the vines begin
to spread.
Cron These are Virginia grown and a sec-
aecontl ^rop roiatoes ond crop fronf selected Maine-grown
potatoes. Among ihe largest commercial growers in the South
they are preferred even to the best Maine-grown stocks, ' pro-
ducing larger yields and potatoes of better quality. They aver-
age smaller than Maine and Northern grown potatoes, and as
they plant further cost less per acre.

than any one county in America. There are no finer potatoes
grown anywhere. Of course, all the potatoes grown in the county
are not certified, but this does not in any way detract from the
fine quality of potatoes grown by careful farmers whose crops
were not certified. We have secured a splendid supply of Cob-
blers, grown by competent and reliable growers, and grown from
first-class seed stock, in many cases from certified seed. The

The experience of practically all large potato growers, an expe-
rience covering several years, proves conclusively that Virginia
Second Crop potatoes, raised as a second crop from genuine
Maine-grown stock, make larger yields and are stronger growers
than Northern grown potatoes. They are smaller than Maine
grown, cut to better advantage, and are more economical to plant.
Their reputation for yield has become so generally recognized
that Virginia Second Crop Cobblers are now extensively planted
in every potato-growing district east of the Mississippi River.
Our stock was grown in the best potato growing section in Vir-
ginia. We planted certified potatoes that had been grown under
the rigid rules of the Maine Experiment Station, had been in-
spected when growing and after being harvested,
and certified by them as true Irish Cobblers and free
»from disease. They are not as large as Maine-grown
[potatoes, but are just the size for cutting into two
pieces or for planting whole.

Wood’s Virginia 2nd Crop Cobblers
Even the Early Rose at the high tide of its wonderful popu-
larity was never more in demand than the Irish Cobbler is today.
We believe we are safe in saying that 75 per cent of all the extra
early potatoes planted today are Cobblers. Its popularity is based
principally on its extreme earliness — it is ten to twelve days
earlier than Early Hose — but is also based on its reputation as a
reliable and uniform yielder. One of its strong characteristics is
that it makes few if any very small potatoes, practically all be-
ing medium to large size, and you rarely see a knotty Cobbler,
for they are generally plump, handsome potatoes with smooth
skin. The tubers are round to oval in shape, slightly flattened,
have strong, well-developed eyes; the flesh is pure white and
cooks dry and mealy. A first-class potato in every respect, thor-

Virginia 2nd Crop Red Bliss
Red River Early Ohio
— This extra fine strain of
Early Ohio is one that can
_ be depended upon to make
NORTHERN GROWN a crop on a greater va-
riety of soils than almost any other potato. It will make its
best crops on loam or stiff soils, but does well even on light
land. As the vines make an erect growth, they are easy to
cultivate; the potatoes grow compact in the hill and are easy
to dig. They are very uniform in size, make few small pota-
toes, have a smooth skin, and the shallow eyes assure the
minimum of waste in peeling. Notwithstanding its earliness
it is a good keeper. The flesh is pure white and cooks dry.

Cow Peas
THE SOUTH’S ECONOMICAL SOIL IMPROVING AND HAY CROP
FACTS ABOUT COW-PEAS
PoonA for pound, cow-pea hay Is as valuable as clover hay.
It Is nearly equal in value to alfalfa and wheat bran.
It contains four times as much digestible protein as tim-
othy hay. Horses and mules need no grain through the win-
ter when fed cured cow-pea hay.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture says: “No one thing
can add more to the agricultural wealth of the South than
the growing of cow-peas.”
Makes a fine feed for work and beef stock and dairy cattle.
Cotton can be grown for three successive years after a
cow-pea crop.
Wheat and oat lands put into cow-peas after harvest can
be seeded to grain again in the fall, making two crops a year
on the same land.
Does not require expensive fertilizer, but adds nitrogen to
the soil and improves its mechanical condition.
They can be grown on any soil that is not too wet.
There is no cheaper way to improve poor land than by
growing cow-peas.
COW-PEAS makes a large yielding and nutritious forage crop.
There is no surer means of improving and increasing the pro-
ductiveness of our soils than by sowing cow-peas.
Cow-peas, like all other leguminous crops, have the power of
extracting free nitrogen from the atmosphere and storing it in
the roots, so that even after the crop is cut the land is enriched
and its condition improved.
WHEN TO PLANT. Cow-peas can be planted in May, June or
July, at the rate of from one to one and a half bushels per acre.
Plant with a grain drill or in rows 24 to 36 inches apart, and
cultivate two or three times — bigger crops
are often made when grown in rows. They
may also be put on a grain stubble with a
disc drill without plowing. If cut when the
pods are turning yellow the hay cures easier
and more rapidly than if cut earlier. Leave in the swath till
well wilted on top.
SOWING COW-PEAS WITH SOY-BEANS, KAFFIR CORN
AND SORGHUM. — Cow-peas may be sown with these crops to
furnish support and make the harvesting easier. Sow half a
bushel soy-beans or one peck kaffir corn or sorghum with one
bushel cow-peas to the acre.
SOWING COW-PEAS WITH MELEE T. — New Era and Whip-
poorwill are the best kinds to sow with German millet — one
bushel of peas to three-fourths of a bushel of millet per acre.
The crop should be cut when the millet is ready. The peas will
have reached the dough state by that time and make an excellent
combination of large-yielding and most nutritious feed.

Tawlrti- — Known locaUy in various sections as Blue Whippoor-
i ayiur will> <jray whippoorwill, Gray Crowder, Early Crowder
and Gray Goose. A large speckled pea that often grows 6 feet
long; a large, long pod, and a large yield of peas. The extra
long growth provides an unusual amount of vegetable matter
for turning under. Matures early and makes an excellent hay.

Rlarlr — On the sandy soils of Eastern Virginia and North
uiam Carolina it makes a fine growth and plenty of peas, but
it does well under widely different conditions and soils. On
heavy clay it makes a heavy growth of vine, but produces few
seeds. It is a favorite for growing in corn for pasturing hogs,

Velvet Beans
The Souths Wonderful Forage
and Soil Improving Crop
A FINS FADE AND WINTER GRAZING CROP
Velvet beans make an enormous growth, better than any other
known forage plant, in the same length of time far surpassing
cow-peas, and are especially desirable for lands where pea-wilt and
nematode attack the cow-pea, as they are immune to these diseases.
Velvet beans are usually planted a peck to half a bushel to the acre
in rows 5 feet apart, 2% to 3 feet apart in the row. As a soil im-
prover they are considered superior to cow-peas, as they make so
much larger growth and so much heavier amount of foliage. The
proportion of nitrogen contained in the vines is about the same as
cow-peas, but as the yield is so much greater, the total amounts of
nitrogen and humus added to the soil are correspondingly larger.
A crop of three tons will add as much nitrogen to the soil as will
a ton of cotton-seed meal, while the amount of humus will be three
times as great.
Makes Nutritious Fall and Winter Grazii^f. — In the South, velvet
beans are used very largely for winter grazing, and for that purpose
is one of the best crops for the light soils and in the long season
of the Gulf Coast and Florida. They should be allowed to grow
until December, or until killed by frost, after which they can be
grazed through the winter, as the vines, leaves and pods decay
very slowly and remain palatable a long time. Early in the year,
the crop remaining is plowed under as a soil improver, and adds
very materially to the productiveness of the soil.
Velvet beans are usually grown with corn. The corn is planted
in five-foot rows, three feet apart in the row,
and the beans planted between the corn. At
the last working beans are planted again in the
middles between the rows of corn. When the
corn is dry, it is pulled from the stalk and
cattle turned in to graze. It furnishes most
nutritious and fattening food, and is considered the cheapest method
of fattening cattle; at the same time the roots and what is left of
the vines when turned under make a good soil-improver.

OSCEOLA VELVET BEANS

the same length of time. It also has the advantage of being free
from the Itching furze which makes other velvet beans rather

Soy or Soja Beans
They make poor land good--they make good land better.
WORTH KNOWING ABOUT SOY BEANS
They will grow on all kinds of soils.
Soy beans have a higher feeding value than cow-pea hay.
Soy bean hay is more natritous than cow pea hay and stock
like it better.
As a milk and butter producer soy beans are equal to alfalfa
and superior to cotton seed meal.
A bushel of soy beans is worth more for feed than two
bushels of corn.
They can be hogged down without any harvesting expense.
When cut at the proper stage of growth the hay is equal to
alfalfa for dairy cattle.
Drought and excessive rainfall affect them less than cow-
peas.
It is one of the easiest crops to grow and harvest.
They make a fine hog pasture.
They can be grown with cow-peas to hold the pea-vines off
the ground; will improve the quality of the hay and make
it easier to cure.
They increase the yield of the following crop.
They make a rich and nutritous hay and one of the cheapest.
The beans always find ready sale at the oil mills and for
planting.
It is one of the South’s most economical soil improvers.
They require no fertilizers except acid phosphate.
REEDING VALUE. Soy bean hay contains a high per cent of
protein, is superior to cow-peas in feeding value and as a milk
and butter producer is equal to alfalfa and superior to cotton
seed meal. The beans and bean meal contain about 35 per cent
of digestible protein and stock eat them with relish and thrive
on them. Hogs fed cn soy beans in combination with corn fatten
much more economically than on corn alone — a bushel of
beans is worth at least double as much for feed as a
corn. For feeding beef cattle experiments have proved soy beans
to be about 50 per cent greater value than cow-peas. They
make an excellent winter feed fer young cattle, sheep and horses
when fed with roughage.
CULTURE. Soy beans may be planted either broadcast
drills. Usually a better crop is had when planted in drills and
cultivated, and few crops leave the land cleaner and in better
condition for the following crop. They grow equally well on
light and heavy soils, but on heavy soils they should not be
planted more than 1 to 1 y2 inches deep exceot in dry seasons
On light sandy soils plant deeper, but not more than 3 inches
deep. When sown broadcast sow 1 to 1% bushels to the acre;
in drills about a peck to the acre. Plant in April, May or June
XNOCUBATE. Be sure to inoculate the
seeds with soy bean bacteria. Not only will
you have assurance of a surer stand but
a better crop and the succeeding crop will
have the benefit of the nitrogen stored in the bean roots.

As a fine quality hay maker it stands second to none. In a
six-year test it averaged 1V2 tons to the acre. It is particu-
larly adapted to sections where wilt and nematode are pre-
valent, as it has proved resistant to these troubles. It is

SOWING- WITH OTHER CROPS. Soy beans can be grown
with other crops, yielding a larger crop of forage and giving a
better balanced ration. Soy beans and cow-peas make a good
combination, the beans supporting the pea-vines, and the yield is
nearly always greater than of either crop alone. Plant half-
bushel soy beans to one bushel cow-peas to the acre. Soy beans
and corn is another well recommended combination, the beans
being planted in the hill with the corn, or in alternate hills or
alternate rows, depending on the proportions wanted, in the feed.
Sorghum and a late variety of soy beans make a good com-
bination, provided the sorghum is not planted too thickly. Sudan
grass and soy beans will give a better balanced feed than Sudan
grass alone, as its protein content is low, while that of soy
beans is high.
Wilson Early Black
— A very prolific variety, and one of
the best where a quick, early variety is
desired. Average height cn good land is about three feet. The
Delaware State Experiment Farm, after a most extensive in-
vestigation, recommends the Wilson Black as ahead of any
as a combination hay and seed variety. It was found to ma-
ture in about 115 days, to stand up well, make pods a good
distance from the ground and retain its seed. Its fine
stem enables it to cure quickly for hay. Its tall growth and
absence of lower branches makes it one of the easiest soy
beans to harvest. By mail postpaid, qt. 30 cts.; y2 peck 75 cts.;

T»» U-p] Rlarlr — About ten days earlier than Mammoth
a s cc jj a Yellow and makes almost as tall a growth.
The vines stand upright, are not coarse and are well filled with
pods. Fully equal to any medium early variety for hay and
seed production. Makes a growth of 3% to 4 feet; branches
close to the ground; has medium thick stalk and abundant
foliage. By mail postpaid, qt. 30 cts.; y2 peck 75 cts.; peck

Biloxi — An upright variety growing 4 to 5 feet high, covered
UUUA‘with a dense mass of foliage that does not shed easily.
A heavy yielder of beans; the oil and protein contents are high;
a fine bean for hogging down, for planting with corn or
sorghum and for oil. The pods are less liable to pop than
most varieties, in fact, they hardly shatter at all. Late in
maturing, requiring a long season to mature, but makes an
unusually luxuriant growth. By mail postpaid, qt. 40 cts.;

SOY OR SOJA BEANS — Continued
Tokio — Whether grown for hay or for the beans, Tokio has
proved a profitable bean to grow. The plants grow over
30 inches high, are sturdy and upright in growth, well branched
with an abundance of dark green foliage. It has the distinct
advantage of standing adverse weather conditions better than
any variety we have grown. It is particularly recommended
where an unusual yield of beans is wanted. By mail postpaid,

Mammoth Brown — Makes a large upright growth, standing
maiiuuuui uruwn 3 £eet or more. with pienty of foliage and
an abundance of pods. It is a good hay bean, is a prolific
yielder of beans, robust and is more disease resistant than
most varieties. Probably no variety is so well suited for
planting with cow-peas, as they mature nearly together. It
is characteristic of Mammoth Brown, and an advantage as well,
that the beans remain in the pod long after maturity. They
are especially fine for late hog pasture. By mall postpaid, qt.

and an excellent pasture variety. The plants are stout, bushy
and erect, averaging in height about 30 inches, with an abund-
ance of foliage that makes splendid hay. The stems are not

the Mammoth Yellow and makes a large yield, both of forage
and pods. It is a sure cropper and a vigorous, quick grower,
with an abundance of large leaves. The pods set thickly on
stems and branches. If planted thickly it makes fine ensilage,
although not as heavy a yielder of hay as some of the later
kinds. It has special value where an early crop of hay or

. Its late maturity is more than overcome by the abun-
dant growth- — 5 feet and more in long growing seasons — its
fine stems and abundant foliage, and the fing texture of its
hay which cures quickly. It differs from most varieties in
having many leafy branches instead of a coarse central stem,
making it easy to cut and easy to cure. Planted in 3-foot rows

They yield heavy crops
that may be either grazed
or made into hay that
stock eat greedily and
thrive on. They grow 4

BARLEY
There are some parts of the South in which the better grasses
cannot be successfully grown, and other crops have to be de-
pended upon to furnish grazing. For this purpose barley has
been found very well adapted. It can be grown on a greater
variety of soils and under a wider range of climatic conditions
than almost any other grain crop, and adapts itself to the con-
ditions under which it is grown, but do not sow it on moist land.
Barley when ground and soaked makes a highly nutritious
hog food and when fed with skim milk makes the most delicious
hams and bacon. Horses and cattle enjoy barley when ground
and soaked overnight. As a winter feed for poultry it stimulates
egg production.

Peanuts
Any soil that will grow corn or cotton will grow peanuts; on
light sandy or loamy soils there are few crops more profitable.
In addition to the yield of nuts, the hay is superior to alfalfa
in fat and almost equal
in protein. After the
oil is extracted the
meal ranks with cot-
tonseed meal and lin-
seed meal in feeding
value. Compared with
corn, an acre of pea-
nuts will make nearly
three times as much
meat.

Culture. Plant the
shelled nut in May or
early in June, dropping
the nuts 8 to 10 inches
apart in 2% to 3 foot
rows and cover 1 to 2
inches deep. Cultivate
thoroughly until the
nuts begin to form.
When harvesting loosen
the roots with a plow,
pull the vines with the
nuts attached, allow
them to dry, and stack
around a stake, turning
the nuts inward. Cross
stakes or brush should
be set at the foot of
the stake to hold the
vines off the ground.
Valencia Peanuts Grown
The Valencia fills the demand for a peanut that is larger and
containing more nuts than the common varieties. It is splendidly
adapted for growing cn the light sandy soils of the South At-
lantic Seaboard, where it has yielded uniformly satisfactory

or four nuts, and of such handsome appearance that they find
ready sale at top prices. By mall postpaid, lb. 30 cts.; 5 lb*.

Spanish Peanuts
Although not as large as ether kinds, there is no peanut grown
that so entirely fills the pod nor can compare with it in sweet-
ness and flavor. There is also a marked freedom from pops, so
frequently found in the large varieties when grown under un-
favorable conditions. They can be grown closer than most varie-
ties, are more easily cultivated and gathered, as the nuts, which
are clustered around the base of the plant, cling firmly to the
roots, and no peanut is more readily cured. By mail postpaid,

With the increasing interest in hog-raising in the South, there
should be a corresponding increasing interest in hog-feeding
crops that are about equal
to corn in feeding value,
and that can be fed cheap-
er. Hogs not only fatten
quickly on them, but the
meat is sweeter than when
corn-fed; some claim it is
equal to that cf peanut-
fed hogs.
Any land suitable for
corn, cotton or peanuts
will make a profitable crop
of chufas, but they do best

with an abundance of fodder, it makes
a most economical ensilage, filling the
silo at a minimum of cost.
Plant in 3% foot rows when the
ground has become thoroughly warm,
thin out to stand 10 to 12 inches apart
in the rows, and cultivate just as you
do corn. For making syrup, cut just be-
fore the heads ripen, at which stage the
sugar content of the plants is greatest.

Sugar Drip Sorghum.
Milo Maize
A wonderfully drought-resist-
ant non saccharine sorghum that
makes a thick succulent growth
of nutritious milk-producing for-
age. It stools from the ground
and shoots from the joints. The
plant makes fine feed and ensi-
lage, especially when mixed with
soy beans or cow-peas, and the
grain is fattening for cattle and
poultry. For fodder and ensi-
lage cut when in the dough
state; at this stage it has a
feeding value practically equal
to corn. Any good corn land
will bring milo maize either for
green feed, dry fodder or for the
grain. It grows on all soils
from sandy to heavy clay loam.
Plant in 3% foot rows after the
ground is thoroughly warm, and
give it the same cultivation you
would corn. 6 to 8 lbs. will plant
an acre. By mail postpaid, lb.

~ ££?«• Pnvn Kaffir corn yields heavy crops of the very
AVdilll V/UrUbest forage; it adapts itself to a wide variety
— — — — of soils; a long, dry spell may stop its
growth, but it starts again with the first rain; it can be grown with
cowpeas, holding the pea-vines off the ground and make a better
feed; all kinds of stock like it. The grain as well as the plant
makes fine feed for stock, hogs, poultry and pigeons. Feed it
either whole or ground, dry or with water or skimmed milk.
With cowpeas, sow broadcast one peck of
kaffir corn to a bushel of peas; sown alone
three pecks to a bushel broadcasts an acre;
in drills 6 to 8 lbs. plants an acre in 3%
foot rows. Plant from after the ground is
thoroughly warm till early in June. By

Early Amber Cane
One of the earliest sorghums and fur-
nishes a large yield of most, nutritious for-
age which may be fed either green or cured.
If planted early it will yield two cuttings a
season, stooling out thicker each time it is
cut. Grows 10 to 12 feet high. Sow broad-
cast 1 to 1 V2 bushels to the acre; 5 to 6 lbs.
plants an acre in 3% to 4-foot rows. By mail

Early Orange Cane
About ten days later than Early Amber
Cane, but - makes a taller and more leafy
growth. It is recommended for fodder, of
which it yields immense crops, frequently
two cuttings a season, and stooling out
thicker after cutting. Requires the same
quantity per acre as Early Amber. By mail

Feterita
Shallu,
Feterita has given most excellent results,
particularly in dry seasons and when grown
on dry land. In many respects it is like kaffir
corn, but earlier, has a softer grain, and is
adapted for the same purposes. It makes a
heavy growth, stools heavily, as many as six
to eight shoots come from a single root. It
is among the earliest of the non-saccharine
sorghums, and where the season is long may
be planted after wheat is cut. By mail post-

Shallu or Egyptian Wheat
A non-saccharine sorghum of special value
in dry seasons — few forage plants are more
drought-resistant. It grows tall, stools out —
three to six stalks frequently come from a
single root. Cut when at the dough stage,
and a second cutting may be had. When
grown as a grain crop the tops are cut, cured
in a dry place and threshed like other grains.
For cattle, horses, sheep, hogs and poultry,
the grain may be fed either whole or ground;
it is of high feeding value, and will take the
place of corn; the flour makes excellent pan-
cakes. By mail postpaid, lb. 25 cts.; 5 lbs.

BROOM CORN
The brush is used for
making brooms, and
should be straight and
of a bright color. In ad-
dition to the brush, the
seeds make a nutritious
feed. Over a period of a
number of years the de- j
mand for broom corn lias ( %
been constant. Any land •#
that will grow corn is
adapted to broom corn.
Delay planting till the
ground is thoroughly
warm; plant in 3 Vi foot
rows, thinning out to
stand 8 to 10 inches in
the row, and cultivate
like corn. Cut when the
seeds are at the dough
stage, as at this time it
not only gives a greater
weight of brush, but it
makes a better wearing
broom: cutting at this
time also gives the brush
the bright green color
preferred by broom mak-
ers. Six lbs. plants an
acre.
Standard Evergreen
Grows 10 to 12 feet
tall and yields a high
percentage of brush
with long, round,
straight fiber without
heavy center stems
and free from crooked
brush. By mail post-

TEOSINTE
A single seed producing
from thirty to sixty stalks,
each 10 to 12 feet high, gives
some idea of what an enor-
mous yield may be had from
Teosinte — the Louisiana Ex-
periment Station reported a
crop o£ more than 50 tons on
an acre. If cut when 4 or 5
feet high, it makes an excel-
lent fodder, starts immedi-
ately into growth again, and
will give several more cut-
tings as large as the first; we
have known it to yield five
cuttings a season. If suffi-
cient is planted a continuous
supply of nutritious green
feed can be had daily right
up to frost. The leaves are
longer and broader than corn,
contain 8 to 10 per cent of1
sugar, and are greedily eaten
by all kinds of stock. It
makes splendid ensilage, but
is more particularly recom-
mended as a continuous cut-
ting green feeding crop. Plant
in May or June in drills 3 Vs

TENNESSEE GERMAN MILLET
Tennessee German Millet makes
a quickly grown, easily cured and
large yielding, nutritious hay
crop. It comes so quickly that it
can be sown after wheat is cut,
and leaves the land clean and in
fine mechanical condition for the
following crop. It is a common
mistake to suppose that it is par-
ticularly exhaustive to the land.
It
stand till the seeds form, but mil-
let should be cut when coming
into flower, as after that stage
the woody fibre forms in the stem
and the hay is hard and unpalata-
ble. Cut at the proper time, it
makes a splendid hay. As a sum-
mer catch crop it has few equals,
for it makes its crop in about
sixty days, discing and harrowing
wheat or oat land being the only
preparation necessary.
Growing millet with an early
variety of cow-peas like Whip-
poorwill or New Era is becoming
quite popular, three pecks of mil-
let being sown with a bushel of Tennessee German Millet,
cow-peas. The crop should be cut when the millet is coming
into bloom, regardless of the maturity of the cow-peas, for at
tms stage the feeding value of the millet hay is highest. Grown
together, the yield is larger than when either is grown alone.
To have the finest millet hay sow thickly, not less than a
bushel to the acre, from the middle of May till the end of July.
Thin seeding makes coarse stems and a poorer hay. Do not sow
common or Western millet, as it does not do well in the South.

out enormously, and during warm
weather will grow with wonderful
luxuriance, give three or four cut-
tings a season, and keep on growing
right up to frost. It does well even
on poor land, and surprisingly well
in dry seasons. All kinds of stock
eat it greedily and flourish on it; it
is highly nutritious. It is a warm

y.^Ofdod &cSons. ^WQQD’S SEED S
Cotton Seeds
All of our cottons are early types especially adapted for
growing- in Virginia and the Carolinas. Practically the whole
cotton belt is infested with holl weevil, so you must plant an
early cotton to heat him. To make the largest profit from
your plantings you must grow a vigorous, large yielding cot-
ton with the largest yield of lint — this means you must plant
a well-bred variety. A few cents a pound more for well-bred
cotton seeds means many dollars to you in the value of the
crop.
WoocTs Ingold Cotton
Wood’s Ingold Cotton was bred up with two distinct objects
in view — earliness and yield. We wanted a cotton early enough
to get ahead of the boll weevil, but yield must not be sacrificed.
Ingold, because of its earliness, usually makes a, good crop be-
fore the boll weevil can have a chance to hurt it. It makes a
heavy stalk with large branches starting close to the ground.
We believe we are perfectly safe in claiming that Ingold will
yield from 10 to 15 per cent more to the acre
than the cottons as generally planted. Al-
though bred for earliness, it continues bearing
till late in the season, is unusually storm-re-
sistant, holding the cotton in the boll remark-
ably well. Another point in its favor is its
adaptability to a variety of soils, doing well
on sandy land. On good land it will yield at
least 39 per cent lint with a %-inch staple.
In addition to earliness and yield, the grower
who bred our Ingold had constantly in mind a
type that was disease resistant. In this re-
spect it is a distinct success, for it has proved
its wonderful ability to resist disease when
planted in infected territory. His breeding
methods have been thorough and systematic
to keep Ingold at the very highest point in
earliness, productivity and disease resistance,
all necessary if you are to get ahead of the
boll weevil and make a profitable crop. Cot-
ton, like corn and all other crops, has a ten-
dency to revert or go back, so that it is only
by persistent and skillful selection, saving
seed stocks only from plants that conform to
all requirements that our Ingold has been
brought to a high degree of earliness, disease
resistance and productiveness.

Suggestions to Cotton Growers
The American Cotton Association, in their boll weevil cam-
paign, conducted demonstrations on 833 cotton farms in eleven
cotton growing states and as a result of their work make the
following suggestions:
Increase the yield on fewer acres by planting only one-third
the cultivated land per plow in cotton; cultivate thoroughly,
plowing twice a week if possible during the growing season.
Plant sound seeds of a good selected variety averaging
% to 1 1/16-inch staple.
Thoroughly pulverize the soil before planting.
Apply liquid poison on the terminal buds with a mop when
the crop is chopped and continue applications weekly till the
plants limb out, then spray or dust with a machine.
Plow up all stalks before frost to destroy weevil larvae,
and force adult weevil into winter quarters where most of
them will die before spring.
Cleveland Big Boll Cotton
Year in and year out Cleveland Big Boll has
come as near producing a real crop as any big
boll short staple cotton among the recognized
standard varieties. One of the big factors
that has helped make it such a sure cropper
is its earliness, for the foliage being light for
a big boll cotton, the sun reaches all parts of
the plant and the bolls open early and quickly
and get ahead of the boll weevil. In a number
of tests made by the North Carolina Extension
Service the staple averaged 15/16 of an inch,
the turn out of lint running from 36 to 38
per cent., several tests running over 40 per
cent. The stalk is medium sized but sturdy,
the limbs are strong enough to support the
large, heavy bolls, and its good depth of root
makes it drought resistant.
Cleveland Big Boll can be planted further
north with greater certainty of maturing a
full crop of high grade cotton than most big
boll varieties. It has become one of the recognized big boll
cottons, in some localities being planted almost exclusively and
with very general satisfaction.

Trice Cotton
At Holland, Va„ the Virginia Experiment
Station, in co-operation with the United States
Department of Agriculture, maintains an ex-
periment station, where trials of all cottons
adapted to Virginia conditions are tried out.
Here were tested sixteen varieties every year
for six years. Every year Trice Cotton gave
the largest yield, averaging for the six-year
test 183 lbs. per acre more of seed cotton than
King, which gave the next best yield. The
station found the following varieties to be
the best; they are named in the order of their
rank as yielders: (Wood’s Ingold was not in-
cluded in the test).
TRICE. — Early, medium sized boll, lint 1 to
1% inches, yield 1,176 lbs.
KING-. — Early, small boll, lint % to %
inches, yield 891 lbs.
CEEVEIiAND. — Not quite as early as either
of the above, lint 1 to 1 Vis inches, yield 833 lbs.
You will note that Trice is an early cotton.
In parts of North Carolina and throughout
the cotton growing section of Virginia, an
early variety is necessary because of the short
growing season. Every cotton grower in the
sections where the boll weevil is troublesome
knows the value of earliness.
Our entire stock of Trice Cotton was grown
on our Williamson Farm in Amelia County.

In sections where the boll weevil is preva-
lent or where the season is short, an early
maturing cotton is absolutely necessary, even
regardless of the size of the boll or length of
lint. The Improved King will make its crop
as early as any small and medium boll cotton
except our Ingold. It makes a 3 to 4-foot
plant with many small branches, and will
average 33 to 35 per cent lint of medium
length Its greatest value lies in its quick
maturity and good quality; for the northern
section of the cotton belt, especially North Carolina and South
Carolina it is an ideal variety, as it makes its crop in a short

WoocTs High Grade Fertilizers
NOTE. — Prices as noted below are those in effect at time this catalog goes to press. They are subject to
change. Such changes will be noted in WOOD’S CROP SPECIAL or will quote prices on request.
Our fertilizers are made to conform as closely as possible to the analyses recommended by the Virginia Experi-
ment Station.
Standard Vegetable Fertilizer
Analysis: Available Phosphoric Acid, 8 per cent; Ammonia,
3 per cent; Potash, 3 per cent.
An "all-round” fertilizer prepared for use on vegetable crops
of every kind. The amount of plant food is properly balanced to
give good results on all garden crops. An especially good fer-
tilizer for the home grarden, and is put up in convenient sized
bags to meet the requirements of the home gardener and larger
sizes for the market gardener. Apply 800 to 1,000 lbs. to the acre.
Bag of 50 lbs., $1.00; loo-lb. bag, $1.90; 200-lb. bag, $3.60; ton,
$34.00.
Wood’s Market Garden Fertilizer
Analysis: Available Phosphoric Acid, 8 per cent; Ammonia, 5
per cent; Potash, 3 per cent.
Prepared especially for market growers who require a quick
acting fertilizer to bring their crops to early maturity. This
requires a high per cent of ammonia to give vegetables a quick
growth. This high ammonia content also adapts it splendidly
for applying to grass and clover after the first cutting to force
a quick and abundant growth of the second crop. For vegetables
apply 800 to 1,000 lbs. to the acre; for grass and clover, 300 to
500 lbs. to the acre. Bag of 200 lbs., $4.40; ton, $42.00.
Standard Corn Fertilizer
Analysis: Available Phosphoric Acid, 12 per cent; Ammonia,
2 per cent; Potash, 4 per cent.
Corn requires a liberal amount of phosphoric acid to de-
velop the grain and mature the crop. It also requires sufficient
ammonia to produce a quick growth and potash enough to
complete the plant food necessary for a full development. All
these plant foods are contained in our Standard Corn Fertilizer
in proper proportions to give the best results at harvest time.
Apply 300 to 400 lbs. per acre. Bag of 200 lbs., $3.50; ton, $33.00.
Standard Potato Fertilizer
Bor All Boot Crops
Analysis: Available Phosphoric Acid, 8 per cent; Ammonia, 4
per cent; Potash, 6 per cent.
Although called a potato fertilizer, it is equally good for all
root crops which demand a liberal supply of potash. We recom-
mend it for Irish and sweet potatoes and all root crops; it is
also a splendid general garden fertilizer. Apply 800 to 1,000 lbs.
to the acre. Bag of 100 lbs., $2.00; 200-lb. bag, $3.80; ton, $36.00.
Arcadian Sulphate of Ammonia
A dependable and lasting form of ammonia, highly concen-
trated, containing 25% per cent of ammonia (20% actual pounds
of nitrogen in every 100 lbs.), quickly available and lasting in its
effects as it is not easily leached from the soil. In fine condition
and ready to apply. No pounding and screening necessary. Not
prepaid: 5 lbs., 45 cts.; 10 lbs., 75 cts.; 25 lbs., $1.40; 50 lbs., $2.50;
100 lbs., $4.60; 200 lbs., $8.80; 5 -bag lots (1,000 lbs.), $8.60 per
bag.
Nitrate of Soda
The most readily available form in which nitrogen can be had.
Largely used for forcing vegetables, strawberries, etc., for apply-
ing to grass fields after each cutting, producing a strong, healthy
growth and wonderfully increasing the yield. UNGBOUND: 100
lbs., $4.00; 20O-lb. bag., $7.65; 5 bags or more, $7.50 per bag.
BEG-BOUND: Not prepaid, 5 lbs., 40 cts.; 10 lbs., 65 cts.; 25 lbs.,
$130; 50 lbs., $2.35; 100 lbs., $4.25; 200 lbs., $8.20; 5-bag lots, $8.00
per bag.
Acid Phosphate
Guaranteed 16 Per Cent Available Phosphoric Acid
Acid Phosphate is recommended for all grain and grass crops,
cowpeas, soy or soja beans, and for applying to lands deficient
in phosphoric acid. Beneficial results follow the addition of acid
phosphate to stable and barnyard manure, all manure being defi-
cient in phosphoric acid but high in ammonia, the mixture giving
a better balanced plant food. Apply 300 to 500 lbs. to the acre.
Bag of 200 lbs., $2.25; ton, $21.00.
Standard Grass and Grain Fertilizer
Analysis: Available Phosphoric Acid 12 per cent; Ammonia
2 per cent; Potash 2 per cent.
This brand is prepared especially for grass and grain crops
and contains the necessary plant foods in proper proportions to
give a vigorous growth on which the crop largely depends. It is
quick in action and lasting in results. Apply 300 to 400' lbs. to
the acre when drilled with the seeds; if broadcasted, apply
before seeding and harrow in seeds and fertilizer at the same
time. 100-lb. bag, $1.90; 200-lb. bag, $3.50; ton, $33.00.
Standard Cotton Fertilizer
Analysis: Available Phosphoric Acid, 8 per cent; Ammonia,
3 per cent; Potash, 3 per cent.
Our Standard Cotton Fertilizer contains plant food in the
proper portions to promote a strong early growth that will lessen
injury caused by the boll weevil, and produce vigorous plants
that will yield length and quality of fibre. Apply 400 to 500 lbs.
to the acre; on light sandy land divide the fertilizer and make
two or three applications. Bag of 200 lbs., $3.70; ton, $35.00.
Standard Bone Meal
Made Prom Fare Animal Bone
Analysis: Ammonia, 3 per cent; Available Phosphoric Acid, 22
per cent.
Made of pure animal bone, finely ground and thoroughly
steamed to remove the grease. Quickly available and lasting in
its effects; the beneficial results can be noted for several years
after it is applied. All crops, either in the garden or on the farm,
will respond splendidly to a liberal application of bone. Apply
300 to 400 lbs. to the acre. Bag of 200 lbs., $5.00; ton, $48.00.
Wood’s High Grade Sheep Manure
In the garden, the hot-bed, the cold frame, for fruit trees, in
flower beds and pots and on the lawn, Sheep Manure will give
most excellent results. Very effective on corn, tobacco, grass and

powder is used for dusting the fowls, and as it
contains no napthalene or other odorous in-
gredients, it does not affect the flavor of eggs
or injure them for hatching, when fowls and
nests are dusted with it. When Rust’s Lice
Powder has been used, fowls are healthier,
have a better appearance, their skin is healthier
and their plumage is brighter. Dice, if numer-
ous, make fowls unthrifty and difficult to fat-
ten. They often cause setting hens to leave
their nests and prevent hens trom laying well,
unless lice are kept down, poultry keeping can-
not he made pleasant or as profitable as it
should be. Rust’s Lice Powder kills vermin on

put up especially for mites that infest the poultry house.
There is a vast difference in the habits of lice and mites. The

time to their hiding places. By spraying or painting Rust’s
Mite Liquid on the roosts and in all the cracks and crevices
once or twice a week you can rid your poultry house of mites.

and spreads better than lime sulphur, and will control some
scale insects, such as terrapin scale, oyster shell scale and
lecanium scale, that are not readily controlled by lime sulphur.
Its oily nature allows it to spread freely, adapting it better
than lime sulphur for spraying old rough trees. For the dor-
mant spray use one part scale oil to 16 parts of water; for
evergreens, before the spring growth starts, use one part scale
011 to 25 parts water. Not prepaid, qt. 65 cts.; 2 qts. $1.00;

of the spray, spreads it evenly over the entire surface of bark,
fruit and leaves and makes the spray stick persistently regard-
less of rains. It can be used with bordeaux mixture, arsenate
of lead, paris green, Black Leaf 40, lime sulphur and oil sprays
and with combinations of these sprays. It reduces the injury
caused by soluble arsenic in all arsenical sprays. Use two
heaping tablespoonfuls for each 10 gallons of spray, or 1 lb.
