WITHIN  THE  PAGES  OF  THIS  CATALOGUE  YOU  WILL  FIND  EVERYTHING  YOU  NEED  IN 
DEPENDABLE  SEEDS  TO  GROW  A SATISFACTORY  AND  SUCCESSFUL  GARDEN. 


When  Springtime  comes  and  you  begin  to  plow  and  sow  for  the  expected  harvest 
what  seeds  will  you  use  ? If  you  want  seeds  that  will  grow,  that  will  make  you  a good 
garden,  that  will  supply  your  table  through  the  year  with  tender,  delicious  vegetables, 
and  make  glad  harvests  in  your  fields,  buy  and  plant  the  0.  K.  SEEDS.  There  is  a vast 
difference  in  seeds,  the  same  as  there  is  in  farm  stock.  What  is  not  bred  in  the  seed 
cannot  come  out  in  the  crop.  There  are  many  “scrub”  seeds  on  the  market  as  there  are 
many  scrub  animals  on  farms.  But  0.  K.  SEEDS  are  thoroughbred  seeds.  Some  others 
are  as  good  but  there  is  also  a chance  that  they  may  not  be  as  good.  In  any  event  they 
cannot  well  be  any  better.  Then  why  take  chances? 


Tn  nrrlpr  ^ you  have  the  order  sheet 
IU  UlUcl  anci  return  envelope  sent 
with  this  catalogue,  use  them.  If  you  send  cash 
with  order  you  can  register  it  for  safety.  (All 
postmasters  and  carriers  will  register  letters). 
Or  send  by  Post  Office  or  Express  Money  Order, 
Bank  Draft  or  Check.  Postage  Stamps,  2c  and  5c; 
may  be  sent  for  small  amounts.  Canadian  -custo- 
mers may  send  their  currency  or  postage  stamps. 
Be  sure  to  sign  name  and  address  clearly.  If  you 
changed  address  give  both  former  and  present. 


FREE  DELIVERY — The  prices  in  this  catalogue 
include  delivery,  or  prepayment  by  Parcels  Post, 
to  and  including  the  4th  zone  on  pkts.,  ozs.,  y4 
lb.,  1 lb.,  and  up  to  5 lbs.,  unless  stated  to  the 
contrary.  Beyond  the-  4th  zone,  be  sure  to  send

Send  No  Money  ^,^"5 

your  order  in  and  tell  us  when  to  fill  it.  We  will 
send  it  at  that  time  and  you  can  pay  the  price 
of  the  goods  to  the  Postman,  plus  only  the  post- 
office  fee  to  return  the  money.  We  will  pay  the 
postage  as  explained  in  the  paragraph  above.  Un- 
derstand, if  you  prefer  to  pay  when  delivered 
you  need  not  send  any  money  at  all.  We  make 
these  terms  because  some  people  may  not  be  flush 
with  money  at  the  time  the  catalogue  arrives  and 
may  not  need  the  things  for  weeks,  or  a month 
or  more.  As  a consequence  the  order  may  be  de- 


ferred, perhaps  the  season  will  get  late  and  the 
catalogue  may  be  lost,  thus  operating  to  our  mu- 
tual disadvantage. 

So  make  out  your  order  now;  send  it  in  without 
payment,  if  you  prefer.  Tell  us  when  to  send 
and  dismiss  the  matter  from  your  mind. 

SHIPMENTS  BY  FREIGHT  AND  EXPRESS— 

Garden  seeds,  Farm  seeds,  and  seed  potatoes  over 
5 lbs.  do  not  include  prepayment  of  transporta- 
tion but  will  be  sent  by  freight  or  express  at 
cost  of  purchaser.  Except  if  you  prefer  ship- 
ment by  parcels  post,  calculate  the  postage,  (see 
explanation  under  the  map)  and  send  it  extra. 
But  send  no  money  at  ail  if  you  select  “pay  on 
arrival’’  terms. 

Don’t  order  shipments  to  “Stops”  or  a sta- 
tion where  there  is  no  agent,  unless  you  send  full 
payment  and  enough  more  to  pay  the  transpor- 
tation.

spring  and  is  very  popular  with  those  who  know 
its  value.  Every  garden  should  have  a generous 
supply  and  when  properly  set  and  cared  for  will 
last  a lifetime.  Plant  in  rich  dirt,  10  inches  deep 
and  IV2  feet  apart.  Place  plants  in  the  trench 
6 to  8 inches  apart,  spreading  roots  out  flat.  Then 
cover  with  about  three  inches  soil  and  fill  up  as 
the  stalks  grow.  100  plants  for  average  family.

I have  plant- 
ed O.  K.  Seeds 
since  1885  and 
find  none  bet- 
ter. Stringless 
Green  Pod 
beans  are  the 
best  we  can  get 
and  d o well 
here.  The  10  to 
1 corn  I got 
does  well  and 
all  the  other  of  ' 
your  seeds  that 
I used.  O.  King, 

Meridian,  Ohfo.  _ 

The  seeds  purchased  from  you  for  1925  were 
cucumbers,  lettuce,  sweet  corn,  radishes,  and  beets. 
To  our  experience  there  is  no  better  on  the 
market  than  what  can  be  bought  from  your  store. 
Walter  J.  Davis,  Exchange,  W.  Va. 

Wish  to  say  that  your  seeds  were  all  very  sat- 
isfactory. The  wonder  beet- surely  bears  the  right 
name,  for  I never  raised  such  beets,  and  did  not 
see  their  equal  any  place  for  size.  Also  the  cu- 
cumbers, king  of  picklers,  were  a great  yielder. 
You  can  count  on  me  for  a regular  customer  and 
will  be  looking  for  your  next  catalogue.  I.  M. 
Frank,  Cherrytree,  Pa.

Crisp,  Tender,  Leaf  and  Head  Lettuce 


Lettuce  likes  a moderately  moist,  fertile  soil.  Seed  may  be 
sown  as  early  as  the  ground  is  fit.  Sow  every  two  weeks  for 
succession.  The  heading  varieties  should  be  thinned  to  8 inches  apart, 
but  if  heads  are  not  wanted  leave  the  plants  2 inches  apart  to  grow  in 
a mass.  For  winter  use  sow  under  glass  from  November  to 
February.  Keep  in  moderate  temperature,  giving  as  much 
light  and  air  as  possible.  From  time  of  seeding  to  maturity 
is  40  or  50  days.  One  pkt.  will  produce  about  600  plants. 
One  oz.  about  3,000  plants.

melting,  if  you  plant  a good  strain  of  seed.  Grows 
large,  round,  ribbed.  Appearance  is  attractive. 
So  popular  is  it  on  some  markets  that  other  kinds

the  price.  This  is  the  only  very  early  melon  that 
has  the  high  quality  of  the  best  late  ones.  They 
are  not  large,  weighing  2 to  3 lbs.  Nearly  round 
and  slightly  ribbed.  The  flesh  is  very  deep,  tender, 
rich,  golden  color.  The  flavor  is  good,  clear  out 
to  the  thin  rind.  They  can  be  picked  “ripe”  and 
shipped  to  market  500  miles  away  and  arrive

where  known,  we  need  only  relate  that  in  a district 
which  normally  plants  about  20,000  acres  of  Musk- 
melons,  planted  300  acres  of  Hales  in  1924  5,487 
acres  in  1925  and  16,533  acres  in  1926.  Or,  in  three 
years  time  this  melon  became  the  most  widely  grown 
of  all  melons.  And  what  was  true  in  that  district  has 
been  duplicated  in  others  and  will  be  in  still  others 
as  this  melon  becomes  known,  if  the  seed  can  be  ob- 
tained. EARLINESS  is  the  great  secret  of  its  popu- 
larity. It  gets  into  the  markets  earlier  and  actually 
makes  millions  for  its  large  growers.  Remember,  it 
has  the  same  appearance,  good  shipping  qualities  and 
fine  flavor  of  the>  best  Rocky  Ford  and  is  10  per  cent 
larger  and  two  weeks  earlier.  Pkt.,  10c;  oz.,  20c;  Vi

ground  where  others  will  not.  A curiosity  and  prized 
by  many.  Shape  and  appearance  somewhat  like  an 
overgrown  banana.  It  attains  a length  of  from  18 
inches  to  2 feet,  and  a diameter  of  about  2 inches 
at  the  stem  end  to  4 to  6 inches  at  the  largest  part. 
The  flesh  is  salmon,  firm,  juicy  and  sweet.  The  flavor 
is  liked  by  many  people  better  than  the  regular 
muskmelon.  It  is  not  merely  a curiosity,  but  many 
growers  find  they  bring  hgiher  prices  on  the 
market  than  the  regular  muskmelons.  Also  this  is 
a melon  that  succeeds  where  others  cannot  be 
grov-u.  Price — Pkt.,  5c;  oz.,  10c;  Vi  lb.,  30c;

EVERETTS  CELEBRATED  SEEDS,  Dependable  for  Over  40  Years 


Piiltura  A light  sandy  soil,  well  exposed  to  the  sunlight  is  the  "best  sit- 
Ulllllire  nation  for  growing  watermelons.  Prepare*  the  ground  with  deep 
working,  but  later  give  shallow  cultivation.  Frequent  hoeings  are  essential. 

Plant  in  hills  8 to  10  feet  each  way,  with  a very  generous  shovelful  of  well  rotted  manure  mixed! 
with  the  soil  in  each  hill.  In  using  commercial  fertilizer,  it  should  contain  a large  percentage  of  am.' 
monia  and  potash.  Put  8 to  10  seeds  in  a hill  and  finally  when  danger  from  insects  is  pa^t,  thin  to  3 
strong  plants.  It  requires  an  ounce  to  plant  20  to  30  hills,  one  pkt.  about  5 hills.  4 to  5 lbs.  per  acre.

Seed 

American  Grown 

Culture 

The  ground  for 
onions  must  be  rich 
and  it  should  -have 
been  in  cultivation 
for  a year  or  more. 

Pulverize  not  more 
than  5 inches  deep. 

The  seed  bed  must 
be  fine.  For  large 
onions  in  fall,  drill 

about  4 lbs.  per  acre  in  rows  14  to  15  inches 
apart.  Weeds  must  be  kept  out.  Pull  when  tops 
begin  to  dry  down.  For  seed,  sow  40  to  60  lbs. 
per  acre  in  drills  12  inches  apart.  We  offer  onion 
plants  on  page  o4.  The  advantage  of  setting 
plants  are  distinct  and  the  plan  will  become  more 
general.  In  this  way  earlier  and  larger  onions  can 
be  grown.

This  pepper  is  the  surest  cropper  of  all.  The 
plants  grow  only  12  to  18  inches  high  and  usually 
bear  so  many  peppers  that  you  wonder  how  the 
plant  can  hold  them.  The  peppers  are  of  good  size 
too,  being  3 inches  long  by  about  2 to  2*4  inches 
in  diameter.  The  flavor  is  very  mild  and  tasty. 
The  color  is  red  when  ripe. 

If  you  want  to  be  sure  to  have  sweet  peppers 
and  lots  of  them  plant  this  variety.  If  you  have 
not  been  very  successful  in  raising  peppers  your 
success  will  change  with  their  variety.  In  an 
average  season  you  will  get  about  four  times  as 
many  as  of  any  other  kind.  Pkt.,  10c;  2 for  25c;

(fTn  PaK  All  Coined  from  the  words  “Toma- 
I yiBFe|S“U  t0”  an£  “Pepper.”  The  reason 
for  this  new  word  you  will  find  by  reading  be- 
low. 

THE  ORIGINATOR  SAYS: 


‘‘The  To-Pep-0  vegetable  is  the  result  of  hy- 
bridizing the  Stone  Tomato  with  the  Bell  pepper. 
This  new  vegetable  combines  the  characteristics 
of  both  parents  and  has  some  new  ones.  In  shape 
it  retains  the  bulge  of  the  pepper  and  approaches 
the  flatness  of  the  tomato.  In  flavor  it  resembles 
the  Bell  pepper  but  is  milder  and  has  the  zest 
of  the  tomato.  In  size  it  grows  4 to  6 inches  in 
diameter.  Its  color  is  vivid  red,  or  golden-yellow 
striped  with  dark  green.  So  gorgeously-colored 
are  they  that  dealers  use  them  for  decorating 
their  show  windows.  Its  uses  are  many  and  more 
will  be  found.  It  is  admirable  for  stuffing  like 
peppers;  also  with  tomatoes  and  other  vegetables 
in  salads ; it  can  also  be  stuffed  with  shrimp, 
crab  or  lobster  salads.  Soups,  chowders,  fish, 
gravies,  dressings  and  other  table  delicacies  are 
improved  in  flavors  by  the  addition  of  sliced  To- 
Pep-O.  The  fruits  will  keep  in  ordinary  temper- 
ature for  30  days.” 

The  To-Pep-0  was  originated  in  California. 
Prom  the  fact  that  both  the  Stone  tomato  and  the 
Bell  pepper  succeed  all  over  the  country  we  have 
confidence  that  this  new  vegetable  will  succeed 
for  our  customers  anywhere  and  be  an  admired 
and  useful  novelty  in  their  gardens.  A long  seas- 
on is  required,  so  in  the  north,  start  plants  in  the 
house.  Bo  not  plant  the  To-Pep-0  close  to  pep-

Perfection  Pimento 

This  new  pepper  is  becoming  very  popular  be- 
cause of  its  valuable  qualities.  It  grows  quite 
tall.  Its  productiveness,  bearing  until  killed  by 
frost,  makes  it  very  profitable  to  the  market  gard- 
ener, while  its  desirable  size  and  shape,  thick 
flesh  and  agreeable  flavor  makes  it  a favorite  in 
every  kitchen.  The  form  is  distinct  as  shown  in 
illustration.  Color,  crimson-scarlet.  The  fruit 
grows  from  3 to  3^  inches  across  and  about  three 
inches  long.  Very  fleshy.  Their  meat  is  never  hot, 
but  of  a very  agreeable  sweet  flavor.  If  you  want

World  Beater 

UfApl/i  Baotai*  The  introducer  of  this  pepper 
TCOritl  Oedldr  said.  “It  is  the  finest  intro- 
duction of  a pepper  in  ages.”  It  is  a cross  of 
Chinese  Giant  and  the  Ruby  King.  Its  chief  im- 
provement is  in  the  fact  that  it  is  much  more 
prolific  than  the  Chinese  Giant,  some  plants  hav- 
ing yielded  two  dozen  marketable  peppers.  Tne 
flavor  is  so  mild  that  it  can  be  sliced  and  eaten 
raw.  The  fruit  is  green  until  it  ripens,  when  it 
takes  the  scarlet  color.  The  flesh  is  so  thick  that 
it  holds  up  a long  time  making  it  one  of  the  best 
shippers.  Order  this  and  have  something  you  will 
be  proud  of.  Pkt.,  10c;  3 pkts.,  for  25c;  oz.,  40c.

fully uniform  in  type  and  most  attractive  in  ap- 
pearance. In  form  it  is  a dense,  compact  rosette 
with  very  short  leaf  stalks,  the  leaves  are  large, 
and  rounded,  thick  in  texture,  very  much  blister- 
ed and  crumpled  and  of  intense,  very  dark  green 
color;  will  hold  up  well  in  shipping  to  distant 
markets.  It  is  noted  for  its  freedom  from  male 
plants  and  its  slowness  to  go  to  seed.  In  some  of 
the  southern  spinach  markets  the  past  season, 
because  of  its  attractive  appearance,  the  Julian 
found  a ready  sale  when  other  varieties  were  a 
drug  on  the  market.  Pkt.,  5c;  oz.,  10c;  Yi  Ib.,

Gladiolus 


America 


Anna  Eberius 


Any  person  who  does  not  plant  liberally  of  Gladiolus 
misses  many  a Summer  treat  from  a few  dimes  invested.  I 
think  the  Gladioli  is  the  peer  of  all  flowers  and  there  is 
absolutely  no  danger  of  failure.  Plant  liberally,  even  by  the 
hundred  or  one-half  thousand  and(  plant  at  intervals  from 
early  spring  till  June  15th  for  a constant  succession  of 
blooms.  Being  of  the  simplest  possible  culture,  and  the 
bulbs  inexpensive,  the  Gladiolus  deserves  a place  in  every 
garden,  small  and  large.  Keep  in  mind  that  the  bulbs  multi- 
ply, so,  from  a small  start  of  the  more  costly  kinds,  you 
will  soon  have  a large  plantation,  or  bulbs  to  sell  or  give 
away.  Delivered  at  prices.

llnlrnnu/n  ^ *s  rare  ^at  the  selecti°n  Of  a superior  variety  of  vegetable  begins  at  the 
UmUIUWII  can  that  brought  it  to  the  table.  But  such  was  the  case  with  this  variety  the 
“Unknown”.  The  person  from  whom  we  obtained  our  seed  furnished  this  explanation, 
“I  bought  some  canned  tomatoes  which  at  once  aroused  my  interest  by  their 
exceptional  solidity,  high  red  color,  meatiness 
and  fine  flavor.  By  tracing  back  to  the  grower, 
through  the  help  of  the  label  on  the  can,  I was 
able  to  procure  seed.  The  “Unknown”  is 
only  a few  days  later  than  the  very  earliest, 
but  is  a third  larger  and  better.  Color  is  ac- 
tually Red.  Shape  is  slightly  flattened. 

Bears  till  late,  cuts  §olid  and  holds  its  firm- 
ness when  canned.  Pkt.,  15c;  2 for  25c;  10

No  garden  is  complete  without  a corner  devoted  to  herbs.  Remember  the  charm 
of  the  old-time  herb  corners — how  fascinating  they  were.  And  what  magic 
there  was  in  a bit  of  savory  or  a pinch  of  sage,  to  “dress  up”  an  ordinary  dish  and  make  it  a delight. 
And  it  was  almost  a treat  to  be  a sick-a-bed  child,  if  grandmother  brought  her  a cup  of  steaming  cat- 
nip tea;  or  perhaps  it  was  balm  or  horehound,  or  pennyroyal  or  thyme,  according  to  the  ailment.  Every 
woman  with  a family  knows  what  it  means  when  the  children  are  a bit  feverish,  or  have  “bad  colds”  — 
with  no  doctor  just  around  the  corner — to  have  an  herb  garden,  or  dried  herbs  in  the  attic  to  rely 
upon,  in  such  a case.  Determine  now  to  have  an  Herb-garden.

grow  well  until  last  year  when  I ordered  my  seeds 
from  you.  I was  more  than  pleased  with  the  re- 
sults. The  seed  came  up  so  well  and  were  such 
strong  healthy  plants.  I tried  your  Early  Wonder

planted  First  Crop  Radish,  Harris  Earliest  Pepper

Last  year  we  planted  some  ZiAk  Seeds  and 
the  flowers  were  wonderful,  extremely  large  and 
rich  colorings,  although  it  was  dry  here  last  sum- 
mer. Also  two  Butterfly  Bushes  were  very  lovely. 
And  a Honeysuckle  which  was  very  small  when 
put  out  made  a very  rapid  growth.  We  were  well 
pleased  with  everything  we  planted.  E.  R.  Olean- 
der, Riley,  Ind.

you  were  the  most  beautiful  I have  ever  seen.  The 
pink  ones  were  simply  wonderful. — Mrs.  J.  H.

Golden  Rose  of  China 


Golden  Rose  of  China 


(Rosa  Hugonis) 
Please  look  at  the 
picture  of  this  rose.  Now1  have  in  mind  the  ap- 
pearance of  a fine  specimen  bush  of  the  Spirea 
Van  Houttei,  with  its  mass  of  white  blossoms 
borne  on  long,  drooping  stems!  Well  this  bush 
will  give  you  much  the  same  effect,  but  in  roses. 


The  Golden  Rose  of  China  Makes  a symmetrical 
bush  about  6 feet  high  and  as  much  in  diameter 
when  fully  grown.  Each  branch  of  the  previous 
year’s  growth  becomes  lined  all  around  it,  to 
the  very  tip,  with  closely  set,  wide-open,  single 
rose  blooms.  Very  like  the  dainty,  yellow  holly- 
hocks. So  numerous  the  blooms,  that  the  branches 
droop  over  with  the  loads,  like  the  Spirea  branch- 
es do.  These  long  arching  sprays  make  beautiful 
and  rare  outdoor  and  indoor  decorations,  the 
early  part  of  May,  when  other  flowers  are  scarce. 
For  table  decoration^  their  delicate,  yellow  blos- 


soms harmonize  beautifully  with  the  snowy  linen 
and  silver,  making  a charming  effect.  But  its 
roses  are  not  its  only  charm.  The  new  growth 
springing  from  the  roots  has  a reddish-maroon 
color  which  with  abundant  green  leaves  makes 
an  attractive  foliage  plant  all  summer.  During 
the  summer  and  after*  the  blooms  disappear,  the 
old  growth  should  be  cut  out. 

The  Golden  Rose  of  China,  for  its  charm,  and 
on  its  merits,  should  be  as  generally  grown  as 
the  Spirea  referred  to,  (Commonly  called  Bridal 
Wreath)  Picture  this  bush,  or  a hedge  of  them, 
on  your  lawn,  or  at  the  corner  of  your  porch. 
And  remember  it  is  hardy  and  will  give  you  its 
mass  of  fairy-like  blooms  so  early  every  spring, 
and  Acacia-like  foliage,  on  arching  branches  all 
the  summer  through,  as  long  as  you  live  to  en- 
joy them.  Each  85c;  3 for  $2.25;  doz.,  $7.50. 


Peonies 


There  is  nothing  more  beautiful  in  the  Spring- 
time than  Peonies  in  bloom.  Like  roses,  they  are 
indispensable  in  the  flower  garden.  They  may  be 
combined  with  Phlox  and  make  a permanent, 
everblooming  bed,  or  row,  or  plant  Dahlias  or 
Annual  between  the  Peonies  for  Summer  flow- 
ering. Our  list  comprises  only  the  very  best 
kinds.  Each  one  is  a “Gem”  and  has  its  own 
particular  merit.  We  recommend  selecting  Early, 
Midseason  and  Late  varieties  and  the  range  of 
colors. 

All  Peonies,  unless  priced  different,  one  for 
50c;  3 for  $1.25;  6 for  $2.25;  doz.  for  $4.25, 
Three  or  more  may  be  of  different  kinds.

Butterfly  Bush 


with  deep  purplish  lilac  flowers 
commencing  to  open  in  June  and 
continuing  until  frost.  Its  long 
gray  leaves  adds  greatly  to  its 
beauty  and  in  every  way  it  is  a 
welcome  addition  to  our  late

grower  and  profuse  bloomer,  and 
the  first  season  it  may  throw  out 
as  many  as  50  flower  spikes.  It 
attains  a height  of  5 to  6 feet. 
Flowers  have  a slight  lilac  fra- 
grance, hence  its  designation  as 
the  “Summer  Lilac”.  This  shrub 
is  very  desirable  as  an  individ- 
ual specimen  in  the  lawn  and 
garden  or  grown  promiscuously 
in  the  shrubbery  border.  It  is  a 
deciduous  shrub,  the  top  dying 
down  in  the  winter.  New  wood 
comes  up  in  the  spring  which 
bear  the  flowers.  It  is  hardy, 
tout  is  better  with  protection  in  severe  winters.  But  even  if  it  should  perish,  one 
summer’s  bloom  is  so  beautiful  that  it  would  justify  planting  each  year.  Price,

New  Plums 
Sapa  and  Wanefa 

These  remarkable  new  plums  were  originated 
in  the  cold  northwest.  If  you  have  not  got 
plum  trees  you  should  not  let  another  season  go 
by  without  setting  some  of  these.  Here  are  some 
of  their  points  of  merit: 

These  plum  trees  no  larger  aroxnd  than  a lead 
pencil  have  matured  30  plums.  Lots  of  trees  2- 
years  old,  coming  3,  have  produced  one-half  to 
three  fourths  of  a bushel  of  fruit.  Tender  skin, 
delicious  taste  and  born  in  such  great  profusion 
that  you  need  baskets  to'  pick  them  in.  Medium 
size.  Hardy  enough  to  withstand  any  winter  tem- 
perature, and  very  hot  summers.  These  points  the 
Sapa  and  Waneta  plums  have. 

Cana  (See  the  illustration)  Skin  green,  then 
aapa  turns  deep  black  and  the  flesh  ia  royal 
purple.  Delicious  as  a fresh 
fruit  and  excellent  for  pre- 
serves and  jelly.  Good  ship- 
per. They  form  in  long 
ropes  along  the  branches 
as  shown  in  illustration. 
Planted  this  spring  will 
bear  in  1928.  Price  3 to 
4 ft.  each  $1.00;  3,  $2.50.

Soy  Beans 

The  cultivation  of  this  crop  is  increasing-  rap- 
idly. Wherever  it  has  been  introduced,  it  is  prov- 
ing to  be  one  of  the  most  valuable  grain  and  for- 
age for  stock.  Also,  a crop  of  Soy  Beans  equals 


a crop  of  clover  for  enriching  the  soil.  Soy  Beans 
as  a feed  take  the  place  of  oil  or  gluten.  Fed  to 
milch  cows  and  for  fattening  hogs,  they  give  won- 
derful results.

Inoculate 

All  legume  crops  can  be  inoculated.  Inoculation 
with  new  and  virile  bacteria  is  an  advantage  even 
on  soil  that  is  capable  of  producing  the  crop 
reasonably  well.  Therefore,  we  claim,  every  time 
a legume  crop  is  planted  on  the  farm  or  in  the 
garden,  it  will  be  a benefit  to  apply  a fresh  in- 
oculant  to  the  seed.  The  expense  will  be  only  a 
trifle  and  the  directions  show  how  it  can  be  done 
with  little  trouble.  The  crops  to  inoculate  are 
as  follows : 

Class  A — Garden  Crops.  Peas,  Beans,  includ- 
ing Lima  Beans,  and  Sweet  Peas. 

Class  B. — Alfalfas  and  Clovers. 

Class  C — Cow  Peas  and  Soy  Beans. 

Always  say  what  crop  to  be  used  on  and  we 
will  send  the  right  kind.

The  harvest  of  corn,  depends  more  upon  the  seed  yon  plant  than  on  all  other  things  combined. 
Prepare  now  for  the  best  crop  that  you  can  possibly  raise  by  getting  your  seed  from  the  Nation’s 
breeding  center.  CENTRAL  INDIANA  as  you  probably  know,  has  taken  nearly  all  the  prizes  at  great 
corn  shows  or  many  years.  It  is  famous  or  its  corn  Kings,  and  may  be  called  the  Nation’s  Corn- 
breeding center.  Seed  corn  grown  here  is  suited  to  growers  over  a wide  territory. 


Farmers  Interest  White  Dent 

of  corn  has  been  awarded  more  Gold  and  Silver 
Medals  and  Cash  prizes  than  any  other  variety 
of  corn  that  ever  existed. 

Our  house  named  and  introduced  this  famous 
corn  many  years  ago.  Since  then  it  was  called 
Johnson  County  White  Dent,  and  has  been  sold, 
also,  under  that  name.  It  has  continuously  been 
the  subject  of  selection  and  breeding.  The  Farm- 
ers Interest  strain  is  a late  corn,  but  not  the 
latest  of  this  type.  It  is  suited  for  planting  in 
the  latitude  of  Indianapolis  and  50  miles  north 
and  in  an  average  season  even  farther  north. 
For  the  South,  it  is  par  excellence,  but  new  seed 
should  be  obtained  each  three  years.  We  feel 
safe  in  guaranteeing  this  corn  to  outyield  any 
other  corn  in  sections  where  it  is  seasonably 
adapted.  Matures  in  120  days.  Sample  ear  30c;

Long  measure  mier  Varieties  was 
produced  by  crossing  the  well-known  white 
hominy  on  a very  long,  slender-eared  corn 
and  several  years  of  selection.  The  result 
has  been  ai  larger  and  better  ear  than  the 
hominy  with  earlier  maturity,  yet  yields 
more. 


A strong  grower,  leafy  stalk,  ears  10  to 
12  inches  long,  14  to  16  rows,  the  grains 
are  large,  broad  and  deep  on  a medium  cob. 
Moderately  dented.  Matured  in  100  to  110 
days.

able corn  and  we  control  all  of  the  supply.

corn.  Some  farmers  now  plant  no  other  kind.  While 
it  is  early  maturing,  it  is  not  exactly  a small-eared 
variety.  Ears  frequently  grow  10  inches  long  and 
weigh  12  to  14  ounces.  The  illustration  to  left,  from 
a photograph,  but  reduced  in  size,  shows  very  well 
the  appearance;  of  an  ear,  the  shelled  corn  and  the 
cob.  Maturing  in  90  days.

seed  was  procured  from  Mr.  Learning  in  Ohio,  twenty-one  years 
ago  and  it  has  been  grown  on  the  same  farm  all  these  years.  The 
grower  said:  “It  has  never  failed  to  produce,  and  mature,  a 
good  crop.  Last  year  I had  70  bu.  per  acre  on  100  acres.’’  Be- 
cause of  the  frequent  bad  seasons  to  mature  the  corn  crop,  this 
variety  has  been  much  sought  after,  coming  as  it  does  in  100 
days  and  making  very  heavy  yields.  Our  sales  of  it  have  in- 
creased enormously  the  last  few  years  and  this  year  will  be 
heavier  than  before.  The  stalk  is  medium  height,  stocky  and 
leafy,  bearing  usually  two  good  ears,  grain  deep  on  a small 
tapering  cob.  A very  superior  corn  for  feeding  cattle.  This  var- 
iety does  well  on  any  soil,  but  has  peculiar  value  on  thin  soil 
where  it  would  not  pay  to  plant  other  kinds.  100  days  ma- 
turity. Price,  the  same  as  Farmers  Interest. 

I obtained  from  you  and  raised  Farmers  Interest  corn. 

I challenge  the  country  to>  compete  with  it.  My  son  got 
first  prize  on  it  in  his  club  work.  I am  not  ashamed  to 
sign  my  name  to  this  report. — E.  C.  Owens,  R.  R.  D.  1,

FULGHUM  OATS- A Red  Oats 

Qnnarinr  Dnmie  Extra  early.  Matures  right  after 
cupenur  rUhlla  wheat.  rihe  harvester  can  go  dir- 
ectly from  wheat  to  the  oats.  Its  earliness  is  a great  ad_ 
vantage  when  clover  or  alfalfa  is  seeded  on  the  ground. 

Is  rust  proof.  Outyields  and  outweighs  later  oats.  Grows 
medium  tall.  Does  not  lodge. 

Ohio  State  University  Reports  January  6,  1926:  “Ful- 
ghum  oats  is  the  best  yielding  variety  we  have  tried  on 
the  University  farm.  In  a 7 years  test  the  average  was 
more  than  5 bushels  per  acre  ahead  of  the  next  best.  On 
my  own  farm  25  acres  of  Fulghum  averaged  81  bushels. 

In  unfavorable  seasons  I find  Fulghum  yields  relatively 
more  than  others  and  the  weight  has  always  been  high.  It 
is  a good  nurse  crop  for  clovers  because  of  its  short  straw 
and  early  maturity.”  Prof.  J.  B.  Parks. 

The  color  of  these  oats  is  red.  This  will  be  an  objection 
on  the  shipping  market,  but  wherever  oats  are  needed  for 
feeding  at  home,  or  in  the  neighborhood,  this  variety  will  prove 
very  satisfactory  because  of  its  certainty  to  make  a crop,  even 
in  bad  seasons,  its  earliness,  heavy  weight,  and  good  quality  for  feed- 
ing. Our  seed  will  test  35  to  38  pounds. 

PRICE — By  parcels  post,  1 lb.,  25c;  5 lbs.,  $1.00.  By  freight  or 
express.  1 bu.  $1.50;  2 yz  bu.  $3.50;  5 bu.  or  mo.6  at  $1.25.  Bags

These  eats  were  brought  from  the  cool 
northwest,  some  from  North  Dakota 
and  some  from  Canada.  They  are  plump  and  heavy,  testing  from  35  to  40 
lbs.  to  the  bushel.  It  pays  to  get  seed  oats  from  Northern  districts,  occas- 
ionally. The  unsatisfactory  yields  of  oats,  we  believe,  are  mainly  because  of  * 
being  ‘‘run  out”  through  long  growing  in  a warm  climate.  Get  seed  grown  in  the1  north.

Showing  shape  of  the  New  Potato.  The  Big- 
gest Early  and  The  Best  Extra  Early.  This  new 
potato  is  earlier  than  the  Ohio.  Grows  larger  than 
Cobbler  and  yields  twice  the  crop  of  either  of 
them.  Remarkable  to  say  there  have  been  num- 
erous cases  where  Dependon  made  a profitable 
crop  where  the  two  standby  varieties  were  not 
worth  digging.  The  tubers  are  white,  smooth, 
nearly  round,  never  hollow.  The  flesh  is  pure, 
white  and  “tasty”  enough  to  eat  raw.  They  bake 
or  boil  like  balls  of  flour.  Even  before  ripe 
they  will  bake  white  and  mealy.  Dependon  beats 


Ohio  and  Cobblers  making  table  size  tubers  from 
the  time  of  planting  and  as  matured  tubers  they 
are  larger.  If  planted  late,  they  are  ideal  for 
winter  keeping.  The  supply  to  sell  is  quite  lim- 
ited this  year  and  we  recommend  early  orders  to 
be  sure  of  getting  them. 

Price  for  1927—1  lb.,  50c;  3 lbs.,  $1.25; 
Larger  quantities  at  25c  a pound.  If  requested 
to  do  so,  we  will  send  a plan  for  planting  along 
that  will  make  each  pound  in  planting  go  as  far 
as  10  pounds  as  usually  planted. 


AN  AGREEMENT — It  is  to  be  understood  that  each  purchaser  of  any  Dependon  Seed  Potatoes  in 
1927,  will  send  a report  of  his  crop  by  or  before  November  1,  1927. 


Hybridized  Potato  Seed 

New  varieties  of  potatoes  are 
originated  by  planting  the  seeds 
from  the  seed  ball  that  grows 
on  the  tops.  Hybridized  seed 
has  far  the  best  chance  to  pro- 
duce valuable  varieties.  This 
seed  contains  the  blood  from 
two  or  more  of  our  best  kinds 
mingled.  A packet  of  this  seed 
will  give  you  potatoes  of  every 
shape  like  in  the  illustration  and 
various  colors,  among  them  may 
be  a valuable  kind  that  may 
make  you  a fortune.  At  any  rate 
nothing  is  more  interesting  to 
grow.  Full  directions  on  pkt.

We  Recommend 

Following  v/ill  be  delivered  to  4th  zone  at  the 
prices,  except  as  noted. 

DON  SUNG- — Makes  hens  lay.  Add  it  to  the  mash 
you  feed  and  it  will  cause  more  eggs  to  be  laid 
by  making  the  hen  more  healthy  and  toning  her  up, 
without  any  injury.  To  prove  this,  divide  a flock 
and  feed  one-half  Don  Sung  one  month  and  note 
from  which  you  get  the  most  eggs.  Mrs.  S.  Bloom, 
941  Harlan  Ave.,  St.  Louis,  wrote  December  7,  1926: 
“I  received  the  Don  Sung  tablets  for  egg  laying 
several  weeks  ago.  I must  state  that  I have  found 
quite  an  improvement  in  my  chickens.”  Price  50c 
and  $1.00  per  package.

expense  of  growing  a crop.  Labor,  seeds,  fertiliz- 
er and  everything  that  enters  into  the  production 
of  fruits,  vegetables  and  potatoes  are  high;  there- 
fore, after  the  heavy  investments  are  made,  no 
wise  person  will  abandon  his  crops  to  the  numer- 
ous insects  and  fungi  and  blight  to  destroy.  But 
he  will  send  his  order  for  what  he  needs  of  the 
following  insecticides  and  fungicides  and  exter- 
minate them  off  the  earth.  The  preparation  and

ONION  PLANTS 

Our  onion  plants  are  grown  in  the  south  by  a company 
that  has  a capacity  of  15  million  plants  a day.  It  is  quite 
well  established  in  sections  where  the  plants  have 
been  used  that  the  dry  sets  are  no  longer  wanted.  Every 
onion  plant  will  produce  a good  green  onion,  or  a good 
matured  onion,  which  cannot  be  said  of  dry  sets,  nor  for 
seed.  Onions  from,  plants,  also  mature  weeks  earlier  than 
from  seed  sown.  See  an  example  in  the  illustration. 
VARIETIES — Crystal  White  Wax  and  Yellow  Bermuda. 
500  plants  $1.25;  1000,  2,500,  5,000  and  up  in  thousand 
units  at  $2.25  per  thousand.  Express  or  Parcel  Post  paid

Set  Canna  bulbs  5 inches  deep;  Gladiolus  bulbs  5% 
inches  deep;  Dahlia  bulbs  7 inches  deep;  Peony  bulbs  9 
inches  deep.  The  greatest  mistake  in  planting  bulbs  is  to 
set  them  too  shallow.
