GREEN PODDED DWARF OR BUSH BEANS
CULTURE — All garden beans are tender and should not be planted until danger from late frosts have passed.
Any ordinary good warm garden loam will grow the dwarf kinds well. The best method of culture is to plant in
rows two feet apart, sowing the beans two inches apart and two inches deep in the row. Working them wet with
rain or dew makes them more liable to rust and injure the crop. For succession, sow at intervals of about two
weeks until late in August. For Extra Early Crops, drill sheep manure over the row to a depth of one to two
inches. This prevents the ground from crusting and also adds much strength and vitality to the plants.
POSTAGE EXTRA ON BEANS.
FOR POSTAGE RATES, SEE INSIDE FRONT
COVER PAGE.
One pound sows 80 feet drill. An acre requires one
to one and a half bushels.
Tennessee Green Pod. A favorite sort in Tennes-
see and in the Middle Southern States. The beans are

proof; is very hardy; extremely early, bountifully
prolific and bears continuously for several weeks.

KENTUCKY WONDER
POLE OR CORNFIELD BEANS
CULTURE — Pole beans are tender and should be planted
a couple of weeks later than the bush varie'ty. A sandy loam
soil, liberally manured, assures the best success. Plant in
rows three feet apart, 6 beans to a hill, each hill two feet
apart. After runners have started, thin to four plants to
hill, setting your poles which should be five to eight feet
long. Use one pound for 150 hills. y2 bushel to the acre.
Pole Beans are more easily gathered than the
Dwarf Beans and yield more. They need good,
strong poles, and are often planted with com.
POSTAGE EXTRA
For Postage, See Inside Front Cover Page.
Striped Creaseback. One of the best cornfield
beans grown. Is very vigorous and wonderfully
productive in good soil. Pods round and quite
fleshy, borne in clusters from four to twelve. Good

popular in the Central and Southern States for

most practically useful of the green podded
pole beans suitable for use as snaps. It is an
early, very prolific sort, with showy pods
which are of most excellent quality. The
vines are vigorous, climbing well and very
productive, bearing pods in large clusters. The
pods are medium light green, very long, often
reaching nine or ten inches, curved and twist-
ed, nearly round and very crisp when young,
becoming very irregular and spongy as the
beans ripen. Seeds long, oval, slightly flat-
tened, dun colored. Pkt. 15c, 1 lb. 30c.
Dutch Case Knife. Pods very long, flat
irregular, green, but becoming creamy white

flat, clear white and of excellent quality,
green or dry. Pkt. 15c, 1 lb. 30c.

Burger’s Stringless Green Pod). Early, yet
bears for a long season. The pods, six to
eight inches long, are borne in clusters, are of
rich, dark green color, very meaty, entirely
stringless, tender and of excellent flavor and
quality. The pearly white beans make splen-
did dry beans for winter use. Pkt. 15c, 1
lb. 30c.
Mixed Cornfield Beans. A mixture of
cornfield beans, cut-shorts, long pods, early
and late beans, to insure green beans through-
out the entire season. Fine for planting in
corn. Pkt. 15c, 1 lb. 30c.
White Creaseback. The pods grow in clus-
ters, are perfectly round and deeply creased
or saddlebacked. Pkt. 15c, 1 lb. 30c.

inches long, rather flat and slightly curved.
It is productive and of good quality. White-
seeded. Pkt. 15c, 1 lb. 30c.
London Horticultural. One of the best va-
rieties as a general purpose late green shell
bean for home or market. The beans are
large, oval, flesh-colored, splashed and spot-
ted with wine red and of the highest quality
either green or dry. Pkt. 15c, 1 lb. 30c.
Lazy Wife. One of the best of the later
green podded pole beans for snaps or green
shell use. The medium green pods, borne
in large clusters, are five and one half to six

LIMA BEANS— DWARF OR BUSH VARIETIES
CULTURE — Plant in May in rows like Dwarf Snap Beans; drop two beans every 12 or 15 inches apart. Culti-
vate like Snap Beans.
Dwarf Lima Beans are preferable for small gardens, especially in places where poles are hard
to obtain. One pound of small-seeded sorts plants from 100 to 125 feet, and is sufficient for or-
dinary gardens or 2 pounds of large seeded sorts. For succession make two plantings 4 weeks
apart. Mature in 75 days from planting.
For Postage, See Inside Front Cover Page.
Henderson’s Dwarf Lima. The original Bush Lima Bean. Of the true Bush type, the bush
grows from 18 to 20 inches high. Early to mature. Productive and a sure cropper Beans much
smaller in size than Burpee’s Bush, and of same tender, buttery flavor as the old Pole Butter or
Sieva Beans of the South. Pkt. 15, 1 lb. 30c.
Burpee’s Bush Lima. A bush form of the true
Large Lima. Plants uniformly dwarf, but enor-
mously productive. Pods are large and contain
from three to five very large flat beans of best
quality. Pkt. 15c, 1 lb. 35c.
New Wonder Bush Lima. The plant more dwarf
and less inclined to make runners than any other
large Bush Lima. Beans broader, and more flat.
Very productive. Pkt. 15c, 1 lb. 35c?.
Lima beans, when planted with eyes down, will
appear above ground quicker, and are not as liable
to rot as when planted the other way.
POLE LIMA BEANS
CULTURE — Plant about 4 to 5 beans to the hill after the ground is warm,
about 4 feet apart, and set poles. Use the hoe for cultivating.
Henderson’s Leviathan. Matures four or five days earlier than
ordinary Large Limas, producing large beans and well-filled pods.
Pkt. 15c, 1 lb. 35c.
Large White Pole Lima. Somewhat smaller than the Henderson
Leviathan. Well known. Pkt. 15c, 1 lb. 35c.
Small White Pole Lima. (Or Southern Butter Bean). It is rather
small size, but bears enormously. Much better in this section
than the large limas. Great many grow them to put away for
winter use. Pkt. 15c, 1 lb. 30c.
Yopp’s White Pole Lima. This variety leads all other small
white limas for either home garden or market. The beans are
about twice the size of the small pole Lima, very tender, buttery
flavor. Begins setting of pods from the first blooms and is an
immensely heavy bearer from early to late. Excellent for either
green or dry winter use. Especially adapted for the south. Pkt.
15c, 1 lb. 30c.
Speckled or Calico Pole Lima. — A very prolific bearer and of
excellent quality for table use, only some object to it on account
of the color. Pkt. 15c, 1 lb. 30c.
Bean Diseases. For rust and blight, spray beans with Bordeaux
Mixture when in third leaf, and thereafter at intervals of 10 to
14 days.

CHOICE GARDEN BEETS
CULTURE — The best soil suited for Beet Culture is a deep, rich, sandy loam, which should be loose and light. If
wanted very early, sow in hot beds and transplant, cutting off the outer leaves. For general crop, sow as early as
ground can be worked in drills a foot to 18 inches apart and 1 inch deep. When plants are large enough, thin out to
stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the row. Continue sowing for a succession until late in June. For winter use, the
Turnip varieties may be sown in July or August, pulled after the first frost, the tops removed and the roots stored
in the pits or cellar.

OUR FROST-PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS
Will Mature Heads Two or Three Weeks Earlier Than Your Home Grown Plants and Double
Your Profits. Why?
These FROST-PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS will stand a temperature of 20 degrees above zero
without injury. The land freezing or the plants being covered with ice, sleet or snow after
they are planted will not injure them, providing the temperature does not go below 20 degrees
above zero.
The roots grow from the time they are planted, and just as soon as spring weather starts, the
established root growth assimilates the fertilizer in the soil, the plants grow very fast, matur-
ing headed cabbage two or three weeks sooner than you can mature them from hot bed and cold
frame plants. You know what the difference in profit will be if your crop is matured and mar-
keted before the general crop from home grown plants is matured.
Varieties: Early Jersey Wakefield, Charleston Large Type
Wakefield, Succession and Early Flat Dutch.

LETTUCE
This should be in continuous supply in every private garden from early spring until late fall,
and sowings should be made accordingly, using Black Seeded Simpson for earliest crop, follow-
ed with Grand Rapids, May King, Big Boston and Improved Hanson. Then in July, August
and September, sow Hanson for late crop.
One ounce sows 300 feet of drill; 3 pounds to one acre. One ounce produces 2,500 plants.
An acre set in plants requires about 50,000 set 8x15 inches.
CULTURE — For winter forcing, make sowings from September to February. Sow the curled varieties about every
four weeks, the Head or Cabbage sorts about 6 weeks apart. As one crop is cut out another can be planted. For
early spring crop sow under glass in January or February and transplant in the spring. For succession sow at in-
tervals of three or four weeks until end of April. For fall planting sow the hardy varieties in September and trans-
plant, when large enough, to cold farmes 9 inches apart.

Big Boston. This variety is identical in
color, shape and general appearance with the
famous Boston Market Lettuce, but is double

WATERMELO N— Selected Seed.
CULTURE — Watermelons do best in light, well-drained soils. To get good melons, it is essential that the plants
have a good start, therefore the seed should be put in just as soon as the weather is really warm and settled.
Prepare hills about 8 feet apart, working into the soil an abundance of well-rotted manure and in these plant the
seed, thinning out to 2 or 3 plants in each hill.
One ounce plants 30 hills; 3 lbs. to the acre. Plant early in May, or, for late use, in June.

PARSLEY
CULTURE — Soak seed in water for a few hours and sow in rich soil early
in spring in rows a foot apart and cover lightly. Parsley is slowT to germi-
nate and is sometimes 3 to 4 weeks in coming up. One ounce will sow 150
feet of drill.

flavoring. It makes an ornamental plant' for edging walks.
Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c.

oz. 15c.
PARSNIP
CULTURE — A rich, sandy loam, deeply worked, is the best for parsnips. Sow
in April in drills 1 inch apart, covering lightly. Parsnip seed is very slow
in germinating, especially when the ground is dry. When the plants are 2
inches high, thin out to 4 or 5 inches apart. One ounce of seed will sow 200
feet of drill. Five or six pounds to the acre.
Parsnips remain in the ground all winter without protection
and can be dug for use as required until they begin to run to
seed in the spring. They are altogether a most desirable winter
vegetable, and should be much more largely grown than at
present.

skin, tender and well flavored. It is good either for table use or
stock. Pkt. 10c, M lb. 25c, 1 lb. 75c.

ered. Pkt. 10c, M lb. 25c, 1 lb. 75c.
IMPROVED GUERNSEY
22
YOPP SEED COMPANY, PADUCAH, KY.
NORTHERN-GROWN SEED PEAS
CULTURE — The extra early varieties should be sown as early in the spring as the ground can be worked. In this
latitude they can frequently be planted in February. Continue sowing for a succession every two weeks until
June, then stop until the last of August, when a good crop can be obtained by planting the extra early sorts for
all use. In the home garden sow double rows 6 to 8 inches apart and 2 to 4 inches deep, with double rows 2 or 3
leet apart. Varieties growing 2 feet high or more should be supported with brush. The early kinds do best in a
light, warm soil. Later varieties require a rich loam, including clay, and should be planted deeper than others.

SEED POTATOES
CULTURE — A sandy loam, reason-
ably rich in organic matter is consid-
ered the very best soil for potatoes.
However, any soil that is light and
easily worked and contains a good
supply of plant food will grow pota-
toes successfully. It is not advisable
to apply fresh manure just before the
tubers are planted. Fresh manure, be-
sides causing a number of diseases on
the tuber, contains too large a supply
of nitrogen, which- produces too rank
a growth at the expense of the tubers.
Early Ohio. Favorite variety
among gardeners everywhere
and particularly well suited to
light or loamy soil, but succeeds
well anywhere. Tubers are
oval, have few eyes, smooth
white skin, slightly flushed with
rose and of exceptional quality.
Irish Cobbler. This has be-
come one of the general favor-
ites in all localities for early as
well as late planting. The par-
ticular features which impress our many growers are the general thriftiness of the vines, com-
bined with a remarkably large yield of fine, most attractive, pure white-skinned potatoes. The
tubers are of both fine appearance and quality.
Certified Irish Cobbler. These potatoes are free of all diseases, as the seed before planting
and the crop while growing and after-harvesting, have been inspectd by potato specialists of the
State Experiment Stations and accepted as free of disease. Each bag bears the Certified
label. It is a well-known fact that you can raise better potatoes and a larger crop by using Cer-
tified Seed. Write for prices.
Bliss’ Triumph. One of the earliest and largely planted by truckers and gardeners' for early
crop, being mostly shipped ito Northern markets, and is highly recommended. Potatoes round,
with deeply indented eyes, and of pink skin.
Burbank. Of the late Northern sorts, this is more largely used than any other. It is of good

SEED POTATO TREATMENT.
Irish Potatoes: All Seed Potatoes should be treated to prevent any possible disease. It is a very simple and
easy matter, and by doing this the crop can be increased considerably.- Potatoes should be treated before cutting.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Solution, one ounce Corrosive Sublimate to seven and one-half gallons of water. Soak first ‘lot in this solution
for one and one-half hours and dry. Second lot, one and three-fourths hours, third lot for two hours and then
discard solution.
2. For treating large quantities, use two pints Formaldehyde to each thirty gallons of water; heat to a temper-
ature of 118 to 122 degrees F. and soak seed two minutes. Cover for one hour and dry.
Sweet Potatoes: Use one ounce of Corrosive Sublimate to seven and one-half gallons of water. Soak seed five
to ten minutes and dry. Treat two lots and add one-eighth ounce of Corrosive. Sublimate for each successive lot to
be treated. After ten lots have been treated, make up a new solution.

SQUASH
CULTURE— The squash is a tender annual, and should not be planted until all danger from frost is past, and the
ground is warm, settled and dry; as aside from the tender nature of the plant, the seed is liable to rot in damp,
cold weather. Plant in hills 5 to 6 feet for the bush varieties, such as White Bush Scallop, Yellow Summer
Crookneck, etc., and in hills 6 to 8 feet apart for running varieties such as the Hubbards and other winter sorts;
hills should be thoroughly manured. Slightly elevate hills and place 7 or 8 seeds in each, so as to have plenty for
the bugs, iinally leaving but 3 plants. Press seed down firmly before covering; cover early planted ones 1 inch
and late ones 1 1-2 inches.
Prices Include Postage.

SELECT TOMATO SEED
CULTURE — For early plants sow during February or March in shallow boxes of light, rich soil, placed in a sunny
window, and when 2 inches high, transplant to other boxes. Or sow in hot beds in drills 5 inches apart and half
inch deep and transplant when 2 inches high into hot beds setting them 4 inches apart. Do not plant outside until
all danger from frost is over. Then set in hills 4 feet apart each way. The best soil for tomatoes is very rich, sandy
loam, but they will do well on any well-drained, well-manured land and even in poor soil will produce better than
most crops. If stems of plants when planted out are very long they should be partly buried under ground. Water
freely at time of transplanting and give constant and thorough cultivation. For late use, sow seed in open ground
during May and early June, and transplant to permanent location as soon as large enough. These plants will
provide fruits during fall months when earlier settings have become exhausted by continuous bearing during hot,
dry weather.

value for porch and terrace decoration, when grown in stan-
dard form. Can be sheared to any desirable shape. Price per
100, $5.00.
GRAPES
Everyone should have a few grape vines in the
home garden. If proper selection of varieties is
made, one may have grapes on the table for several
months in the year. To grow for market they can
be planted on hillsides that are unsuitable for other
crops. They should in all cases have free exposure
to the sun and air.
A small amount of bone meal with sheep manure
worked into soil improves the vitality of the vine
and makes more and better fruit.
Concord. One of the most popular and reliable
varieties we possess; bunch large, compact and
shouldered; berry large, round, almost black with
blue bloom, juicy, buttery and very sweet. 25c each.
Moore’s Early. A large grape, ripening a week
earlier than Concord; good grower; berries large,
good quality and make a moderate yield; very valu-
able as an early grape. 25c each.
Niagara. Occupies the same position among white
varieties as Concord among the black. Bunch and
berries large, greenish white, changing to pale yel-
low when fully ripe. Skin thin, but tough; quality
much like the Concord. 25c each. Prices include
postage and packing.
CONCORD
APPLE TREES
We have the following varieties of 1-year-old Apple Trees grown by a reliable grower. A few carefully selected
trees should furnish the family with apples almost the entire year. Price each, 25c.

Our Chief Brand Field Seed is always the
very best grade of field seed to be had.
Our Paduke Brand. In taking each season’s
crop into consideration, we base this grade on
the best average standard for purity and
cleanliness, thus enabling us to furnish this
grade of recleaned seed one year with another.
Red Clover. Well known standard variety.
Mammoth (or Sapling). Sometimes called
English Clover.
White Dutch. For pasture, fine grazing for
sheep and cows. Also good for honey bees.
Alsyke (or Swedish Clover). Very hardy
and stands drought well.
Scarlet or Crimson Clover. An annual va-
riety for feeding green, and for hay; sown in
April or May; also the latter part of summer
and fall.
Japan Clover. (Lespedeza). We strongly
recommend our customers to sow Japan
Clover extensively. A valuable grazing crop.
Alfalfa. Sow in March and April or latter
part of August and September. 10 to 20 lbs.
per acre.
GRASS SEED
Sudan Grass. Yields two or more cuttings a season; makes a bigger and better crop than
Millet. It stools out wonderfully after the first cutting. Stock eat it up clean, blades, stalks
and heads. A wonderful summer catch crop for hay; a sure hay crop in a dry season. Ready to
cut in about 60 days after sowing. It can be grown with cowpeas and soy beans. Write for
prices.
CULTURE — Sudan should not be planted till the ground is warm in the Spring. Seeding in drills seems to do best,
for then you can work it several times. Put the rows about 2 feet apart, 6 pounds of seeds to the acre. It can also
be sown broadcast, or put in grain drill. Then it will take about twenty to twenty-five pounds of seed.
Rep Top (Herds Grass). A valuable grass for most soils and low lands. It is a good per-
manent grass, standing our climate well. Chief Brand best grade.
Timothy. This is decidedly the best grass for hay. Chief Brand best grade.
Orchard Grass or Rough Cocksfoot. This is one of the most valuable and widely known of all
pasture grasses. It is well adapted for sowing under trees or in orchards.
Kentucky Blue Grass. (Poa Pratensis.) Known in some sections as “Green Meadow Grass”
and “June Grass.” It is the best pasture for our climate and soil, succeeding finely on hill lands
and producing the most nourishing food. For lawn purposes it is the standard and superior to
any other sort. On favorable soils will withstand all variations in weather and climate. Sow
early in spring or during the months of October and November. Fancy, clean seed. Chief
Brand. Market prices.
MILLET SWEET CLOVER
Tennessee German Millet. This grows very
rank and is one of the best varieties for hay or
fodder. On good, rich soil will make a growth
of 4 or 5 feet high, and although the hay may
seem coarse, it is tender, and if cut at the
right stage, which is when in full bloom, even
the hogs will eat the hay quite greedily.
Hungarian. Preferred by some to German
Millet, as it is about a week earlier. Does not
grow as large, but makes fine hay.
Golden Millet. An improved, large-leaved
variety, growing 3 to 5 feet high.
is one of the greatest soil builders known. Al-
so inoculates the soil for Alfalfa. Better
adapted to limestone soils; but does well in
most any climate or soil.
White Biennial grows from 2 to 4 feet tall
the first season and from 4 to 10 feet the sec-
ond season. Good pasture and turn-under
crop.
Yellow Biennial is lower in growth and of
finer texture and best for hay crop. For best
results inoculate your seed with nitragin. See
page 6.

DWARF ESSEX RAPE
SOW IT FOR FALL, WINTER AND SPRING PASTURAGE FOR SHEEP, HOGS, CATTLE
AND POULTRY
CULTURE — Sow y2 inch deep during August, September and October, 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 and give
a more abundant growth. This method is a fine weed killer and fewer plants are destroyed by trampling. 3 to 4
lbs. plants an acre in drills; 6 to 8 lbs. broadcast. Allow 8 to 10 weeks for it to attain its maximum growth. Write
for price.
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 rape alone was 7 to 8 lbs. per month. Another Experi-
ment Station recommends the sowing of 3 to 4 lbs. rape to the acre in corn at the last working.
An acre of rape will easily 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 succeeding day. Give stock access to salt while feeding on rape; they should also have
hay or straw convenient in case of bloat.
SORGHUM OR CANE
Texas Honey Dew. One of the best Sor-
ghums ever used for making molasses. Makes
a clear, fine syrup, rich amber color, contain-
ing much more saccharine matter than syrups
from other cane. 1 lb. 10c.
Blue Ribbon. This is one of the best varie-
ties of Sorghum for Syrup. Largely planted in
this section and a favorite sort among our
farmers. 1 lb. 10c.
Early Orange. For molasses or fodder. It
is a favorite in Southern states, as it pro-
duces a heavier crop. 1 lb. 10c.
Early Amber Sorghum. (For fodder only).
Furnishes a large yield of most nutritious
forage, which can be fed either green or
cured. Will yield two or three cuttings a
year, shooting out thicker each time it is cut.
1 lb. 10c. Write for bushel prices.
Write for prices on larger quantities.
KAFFIR CORN
White Kaffir. ^ This grain makes most nu-
tritious feed and can be used for both stock
and poultry. 1 lb. 10c.
Feterita. A new fodder plant of the Kaffir
Corn type, but maturing from 15 to 20 days
earlier than Kaffir Corn. Is also remarkable
for its drouth-resisting quality. 1 lb. 10c.
We also have in stock, Red Kaffir Corn,
Dwarf White Kaffir Corn, Milo Maize and
Jerusalem Corn. Write for prices.
BUCKWHEAT
CULTURE— A valuable crop for soil improving, pro-
duction of grain, and largely used for sowing for bees.
It is better not to sow before June, though July and
August are better months in this latitude.
Japanese. One of the best sorts, with large
grain, and produces much larger yields than
the common buckwheat. Ask for price.
BROOM CORN
ImproVed Evergreen. The best variety in
cultivation, on account of color and quality of
brush; ripens very early, grows about 8 to 10
feet high; brush of good length, fine and
straight, and always of green appearance
when ripe. 1 lb. 10c.
Oklahoma Dwarf. An extra early sort.
Average height about 5 feet. Is also less
trouble to harvest, while the yield is nearly
the same as the tall variety. 1 lb. 10c.
Black Japanese. A new Broom Corn and
one of the best; has fine straw, of good
length. Try this new variety. 1 lb. 10c.
Russian Sunflower. This is highly prized
by poultry rais-ers and farmers as a cheap
food for fowls. Best egg-producing food
known. Oz. 5c, 14 lb. 10c, 1 lb. 20c.
VETCHES
Hairy or Sand Vetch. (Vicia Billosa) . Rec-
ommended for all seeding at the rate of 15 to
30 pounds per acre with rye or winter oats.
Yields enormously, and can be us«d either
green or dry, similar to clover hay. Market
price.

YOPP SEED COMPANY, PADUCAH, KY.
COW PEAS
THE GREAT SOIL IMPROVER
Makes Poor Land Rich; Makes Good Land More Productive. Also Makes Splendid Hay Crop.
CULTURE — Sow in June or July at the rate of 1 to V/2 bushels per acre broadcast or in a wheat drill.
New Era. The peas are dull lead colored, not quite as large as the Whippoorwill, but the
vine is somewhat longer. Earlier than the Whippoorwill, and produces more peas.
Red Ripper. Red seeded, a most desirable and productive variety.
Whippoorwill. A favorite early bunch-growing variety; has brown speckled seed, which are
more easily gathered than from the vine-growing sorts. This variety is a favorite in the Middle
West on account of its early maturity and habit of growth.
Black Cow Peas. This variety, while later than Whippoorwill, produces more growth of for-
age and is consequently better for cutting and as a soil improver. We consider Black Cow Peas
the best sort for general sowing or hay purposes, which can be used in this latitude.
Clay Cow Peas. A favorite variety in the South. Grow similar to Black. Produce abundance
of vine. Color of peas is light brown.
Mixed Cow Peas. A mixture of Clays, Whippoorwills, Blacks and some other sorts, which are
offered at a lower price. Price fluctuates. Write for prices on all Cow Peas.
EDIBLE COW PEAS SEED OATS
Black Eyed Peas. Large black eyed peas
make a profitable crop for picking before get-
ting dry, and hulled and sold on the market,
or the dry peas sold during the winter. Lb.

also make good hay crops. 1 lb. 20c.
POSTAGE ON PEAS EXTRA
SOY BEANS
Have been grown successfully in all sec-
tions of the country, and by many farmers
are preferred to cow peas, both for their
larger yield of beans and the fact that they
are easier to gather.
Haberlant Soy Beans. Earlier in maturing
and the best for this latitude for a yield of
beans.
Mammoth Yellow Soy Beans. Produce the
largest amount of forage, and in more South-
ern latitudes a larger yield. Market prices.
Laredo Soy Beans. One of the best for
hay purposes. Grows tall; with fine stems.
The seed is black and very small. Only re-
quiring one fourth as many to plant an acre
as ordinary Soy Beans. Matures in about 120
days.
We offer for seed oats none but what have
been recleaned and tested for germination by
us.
Winter Turf Oats. If sown in the spring
they do not ripen quite as early as fall sown,
or quite as early as spring oats, but the yield
will compare favorably and the quality of
grain is far superior to the ordinary spring
varieties. They require 1 Vz bushels per acre.
Write us for market prices.
Black Mixed Spring Oats. Usually pre-
ferred for thin land, growing taller and pro-
ducing heavier yield of oats, therefore are
better to cut when green. Write for market
prices.
White Spring Oats. Our best recleaned
stock of these are choice Northern grown, all
heavy oat, which has been recleaned by us.
Write us for market prices.
Burt or Ninety-Day Oats. One of the most
popular of the earlier varieties of oats which
are largely used in Tennessee and the South-
ern States, both for hay crop as well as grain,
and is the best crop for Kentucky, where a
quick crop is desired.
Red Rust Proof Oats. Highly esteemed in
the Southern States, maturing quickly and
producing large yields, Especially on rich soil.
Most excellent for hay and sheaf oats. Mar-
ket prices on all varieties of oats.

SILVER MINE
Improved Learning. (100 days.) A very popular
and productive variety. On good land the stalks
grow tall, producing 2 good ears to each stalk. The
ears are long, with small red cob, well filled with
grams of medium size, and of rich, golden color.
Iowa Gold Mine. (90 to 100 days.) This corn is
more widely known than any other variety grown.
It is medium early.
SEED CORN— White
Silver Mine. (90 to 100 days.) One of the very best yielding White
Dent corns. Originated in Ford County, Illinois, and introducd in Iowa.
Creamy white in color, cylindrical shape, tapering only a little at the
tip; 18 to 20 rows; length 9 inches; circumference 7 14 inches; kernels
rough and deep, a little space between rows. A fine shelling and high-
yielding variety.
Hickory King. (100 to 110 days). An old favorite sort, well known in
this locality. Ears are rather small, but usually 2 or 3 on the stalk,
and it is a good yielder. The cobs of this variety are small, a single
grain of* corn sometimes being large enough to cover a cross section of
the cob. The grains are very large, flinty, and of the finest quality for
milling or feeding.
Tennessee Red Cob. (120 days). An extra large field corn, the ears
of this sort run from 9 to 12 inches long and have from 18 to 20 rows.
It is a rather late maturing sort, but for bottom land and late crops
this corn cannot be excelled. One of the best milling corns; stalks from
8 to 12 feet high and broad and short jointed. It makes one of the best
ensilage corns.
Johnson County White Dent. (110 to 120 days). It is a highly bred
variety of white corn of extra large size. The ears are from 8 to 11
inches long, 7 1-2 to 8 1-2 inches in circumference, containing 18 to 24
rows, weighing from 12 to 18 ounces. The cob is medium large and pure
white in color. With favorable seasons in localities where it has plenty
of time to mature it is particularly valuable, say the southern half of
Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky.
Boone County. (100 to 110 days). It is a very large, white corn, some-
what like Silver Mine, larger and later. Ear 10 to 11 inches long, cylin-
drical, 18 to 22 rows. Grain deep and rather rough. Well filled at both
ends. Cobs always white and medium size.
Red Cob Willis. (100 to 110 days.) One of the best all-around deep
grain corns with red cob we know of. This corn was introduced in our
county years ago, and the grower who grows our seed for us has been
improving his stock for years. The ears average 10 to 12 inches in
length, of uniform size and a good depth of grain. Rows 18 to 20, well
filled. The yield of this corn is very large and produces the finest
white milling corn.
WRITE FOR PRICES
SEED CORN— Yellow
Reid’s Yellow Dent. (100 days). This is now the standard variety in
many of the corn-growing sections of the Middle West. Ears average
9 to 10 inches, tapering slightly toward tip, are about 6 inches in cir-
cumference, contain from 14 to 16 rows and are remarkably uniform.
Kernels light yellow, deeply dented and well placed on a cob of medium
size.

FLOWER SEED
CULTURE — Most flower seed should be planted shallow and kept covered with old cloth or jute sacks until
sprouted, to prevent drying out. Plant in rows for easy tending and keep weeds pulled out. Be sure first that
they are weeds. With slow growing seeds it is a good plan to drop a few cabbage or radish seeds, as they will
come up quickly and mark the rows for you. Use pulverized sheep manure. See page 2.
Unless otherwise specified, the flowers are in mixed colors, as most people prefer them that
way. On some we offer separate colors, but in such cases the colors are named.

pink standard, with pure white wing. Pkt. 10c,
oz. 20c, M lb. 75c.

clear white; blooms very early. Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c,

SPENCER VARIETIES

general effect remarkably graceful and attrac-
tive. The plants are of vigorous growth and re-
main in bloom for a longer period of time than
the Grandiflora sorts. Also have longer stems.

the price will doubtless always be higher than for
older types.

SWEET PEAS
Mary Pickford. Morse’s New Spencer Sweet
Pea. Is a dainty light and cream pink with
just the faintest suffusion of salmon, making
the color combination difficult to equal and
most rard to surpass. The flowers are per-
fectly formed with both standards and wings
decidedly waved and the keel blends nicely
with the coloring of the entire flower. The in-
dividual flowers are most gracefully placed.
