they are finally set in the garden or field. Celery requires plenty of water from
the time the seed is sown until ready for use. To get the best results, they should
[ be grown on swampy or wet lands. To succeed with celery you must keep your
plants growing constantly while young; if you allow them to “stand still” they will
run to seed later. Always cultivate as soon after watering as the ground is dry
enough to work well. Fertilize heavily in the spring and use nitrate later if
needed.

CUCUMBERS (Postpaid
Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; J4 lb., 60c.
1 oz. to 50 hills
An early crop of Cucumbers can be bad each year by planting the seeds in a
box, pots or a piece of sod so that they can be readily transplanted without check-
ing the growth. For outside planting the ground should be prepared and put in
good condition, and the seed should be planted when the ground gets somewhat
warm, and about an inch deep, and in hills slightly raised above the level of the
ground, about 4 feet each way. We also recommend planting 3 or 4 times as much
as needed, and then thin out to 3 or 4 strong plants to each hill, as the insects
attack which are the weakest; give thorough cultivation and fruit should be gath-
ered and not allowed to ripen on the vine, as this reduces production. The cucum-
bers are ready for use in about 2 months after planting.
Improved White Spine — A dark green variety, turning white when ripe; fruit
straight and of even shape, tender and crisp; fine for forcing.
Boston Pickling — A distinct variety; color bright green, and a good producer;

the originator, also the originator of Grand Rapids Lettuce and Davis White
Wax Bean, says: “I have been experimenting for several years and have at
last succeeded in fixing a perfect type, combining quality, shape and color and
productiveness. The quality is fine, very tender and brittle and with very few
seeds; altogether an exceptionally fine table variety.”
Lemon Cucumber — This dainty little cucumber resembles a lemon, both in form
and color, having a distinctive flavor superior to and not found in any other
cucumber. The Lemon Cucumber is so prolific that a single vine will be ample
for the needs of the average family. It is also said that the Lemon Cucumber
can be eaten without fear of the harmful results that some experience from
eating cucumbers. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; *4 lb., 75c; lb., $2.50.

SEED POTATOES
Do not work the soil when it is wet, as this has a tendency to make it lump
and bake and may put it in such shape that nothing can thrive in it. Wait until
it is just dry enough to crumble away nicely when turned over, and if you will
press the dirt firmly down on the seeds, getting right in the row and tramping
the soil down with your feet, they will germinate quickly even in comparatively
dry soil. An extra work in carefully preparing the soil will more than repay you
in the increased results, and always remember that constant and thorough cultiva-
tion is almost equal to water and fertilizer both, and will insure a good crop even
in a dry season, and on ordinary soil.

A BEAUTIFUL GREEN LAWN
The quiet green of a soft and velvety lawn lends a restful and refreshing
touch to the home grounds. The lawn is a perennial feature and if properly cared
for lasts almost indefinitely.
HOW AND WHEN TO MAKE A LAWN
The proper time to make a lawn is either late spring or summer. By deep
spading, completely reversing the soil and thoroughly raking it, so it is loose and
friable.
One week before seeding broadcast for every 1,000 square feet 25 lbs. of Wil-
grow Fertilizer and rake in the soil, after which sprinkle every day for one week.
This will give the fertilizer an opportunity to thoroughly amalgamate with the soil
and give that beautiful green appearance so much sought after. This will also
correct sour soil and keep your lawn free from moss. Before seeding broadcast
and rake in equal number of pounds of white rye grain, that you use of Lawn
Grass. As rye grain sprouts quickly and breaks the soil in case it crusts over,
also gives the fine lawn grasses an opportunity to start at once, it also shades
the tender grass seed blades. Immediately after raking in the rye grain, the grass
seed should be sown. The best method is to take half of the grass seed and
broadcast it across the lawn, walking backwards; then take the balance and broad-
cast lengthways. After the seed is sown do not rake it in but roll it, or tamp it
with the back of a shovel. Sprinkle lightly so as not to float the seed.
While the seed is germinating the grass is tender. Extra precaution should
be used not to allow the ground to dry out, especially during the dry weather.
Sprinkle two or three times a. day.
Commence cutting as soon as you can see the furrows of the lawn mower.
Cut often, leaving the clipping on the ground. This acts as a mulch and holds the
moisture and also acts as a fertilizer.
After the lawn is established, it should be thoroughly soaked once a week:

Rye, Seed — The old standard variety. Good, recleaned seed. Market price.
Hungarian Vetch — Hungarian Vetch, after having been grown at the various ex-
periment stations for the past fifteen years and by cooperating farmers for
the past four years, is undoubtedly destined to become a very important an-
nual leguminous farm crop for this state, especially the western part. Its
aphis resistance is probably the largest single factor toward making it a gen-
erally grown crop. During years when aphids practically destroyed many other
farm crops this vetch was injured comparatively little and produced practi-
cally normal crops of forage and seed.
It is seldom attacked by diseases or insect pests. At no time since
the crop has been grown here has any loss occurred due to disease or insects.
Experience has shown that Hungarian is a heavier yielder in both hay and
seed than any other vetches grown here, under similar conditions.
Oregon Vetch — Sometimes called Spring Vetch, which name is misleading, for it is
the variety used exclusively west of the Cascades for either spring or fall
sowing. Market price.
Hairy or Winter Vetch — This variety is used east of the mountains for fall sow-
ing. Market price.
Wheat, Bluestem — An old standard white spring wheat, sown in fall west of the

stands up well. A short, plump, very hard kernel of good quality. Although
a spring wheat, it may be sown in fall west of the Cascade Mountains. Mar-
ket prices.
Wheat, Early Baart — A splendid new spring wheat which is becoming very pop-
ular. It is very early, a heavy yielder, and the large white grain is of fine
milling quality. Market price.
CHOICE FLOWER SEEDS
Flowers make a home more cheerful, and as most varieties (and especially
the Annuals) are easily grown from seed, no place should be without an assort-
ment. Our flower seeds are American grown, with the exception of a few varieties
that are grown by the best growers in Europe and we put the same up in neat
lithographed packets.
Considering the small cost of flower seeds, the large number of varieties,
the gorgeous display when in bloom, more real joy, more genuine pleasure, is to
be had from floral surroundings and decorated interiors with cut flowers, than any
like investment in the world.
Culture — Select your soil free of weeds as possible, using a good quality of
sandy loam made rich with well rotted manure or a good fertilizer, which should
be made fine and thoroughly mixed with the soil. If out of doors, pulverize thor-
oughly to a depth of one foot, working in fine and firm, watering lightly the day
before sowing. Indoor planting require broken pots, coal ashes or any rough ma-
terial in the bottom to furnish perfect drainage.
A common mistake made with flowers as well as other seeds is planting too
deep. A good rule is to plant the seed thinly to the depth of the thickness of the
seed, and always press the soil firmly, as this helps the seed to secure a firm hold
and also retain the moisture, which should be kept moist but not wet by a light
spray of water to moisten when needed, which is important; cover with one or
two thicknesses of newspaper or burlap to prevent the too rapid evaporation of

the moisture, removing the covering during the night. When plants begin to
come up remove permanently, as they require plenty of air and moisture, but they
must not be too wet or they will “damp off.”
Plants are usually ready to be transplanted when about two inches high.
Perennial Flower Seeds planted in July or August will bloom the coming
season.

PRIZE SPENCER SWEET PEAS
Our list of Sweet Peas lias been carefully revised and the varieties we offer
have been selected from a large assortment and embrace only the best grown in
California by the W. A. Burpee Co., Philadelphia, Pa.
Culture of Sweet Peas — Plant as early in the spring as conditions will permit.
Seeds should be sown at the rate of one ounce to 15 to 25 feet. For early flower-
ing, plant in October or November, which is best protected with a few inches of
straw to insure against freezing. Work the soil well to a depth of one foot or more,
using a fertilizer which should be well mixed with the soil; filling up the trench
to within 3 or 4 inches of the top. Cover the seed 1 to 2 inches deep, pressing the
soil down firmly. When plants are well up, thin them out to 4 or 5 inches apart,
and as they advance draw the soil around them until the trench is filled to within
an inch of the top. This gives a depth of roots, preserving the moisture. Keep
the soil well worked; an occasional soaking being better than a daily sprinkling —
but do not sprinkle the vines.
Keep the flowers cut close, which prolongs the season of blooming.

FERTILIZERS
FORD AMMONIUM SULPHATE FERTILIZER— Ford Ammonium Sulphate is not
a mixed fertilizer but practically a pure salt, and is a combination of sulphuric
acid and ammonia. It is obtained from the distillation of coal at the Ford
Coke Ovens. The analysis for purity shows 99% sulphate, .05% acid, .15%
water and .8% impurities. Ammonium Sulphate when chemically pure con-
tains 21% nitrogen. Ford Ammonium' Sulphate contains 20.8% nitrogen or
available plant food. Good stable manure contains nitrogen and every farmer
knows its fertilizing value. But in no other form is nitrogen so generously
available as in Ammonium Sulphate. Ford Ammonium Sulphate Fertilizer —

TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS
This splendid class of Begonias is perhaps the handsomest of all bedding
plants for shady or semi-shaded locations. Bulbs may be started in pots early in
February or in the open later in the spring. They prefer a rich, sandy loam and
should be covered to a depth of two to three inches.
GIANT DOUBLE B EGON I AS— Blooms are so double they often have the appear-
ance of solid round balls of velvet-like petals.
Pink, Rose, Orange, Crimson or Scarlet, 35c each; doz., $3.50.
Giant Double Mixed Begonias — A choice mixture. Each, 30c; doz., $3.00.

ed center. Mixed colors. Each, 35c; doz,, $3.50.

CANNAS
Cannas are stately and very ornamental plants of semi-tropical appearance,
and are very desirable for groups and masses. The plants branch from the roots,
with very large broad leaves, and produce clusters of large flowers, in a great
variety of brilliant colors, from August until killed by frost. Following are a few
of the most desirable varieties. It is best to start roots in March in pots and.
transplant.
King Hubert — Scarlet flowers; bronze foliage; a great favorite. Each, 20c.
The President — Immense flaming scarlet; rich green foliage; 4 feet. Each, 25c.
Yellow King Hubert — Deep rich yellow, spotted red; 4 feet. Each, 20c.
DAHLIAS
Dahlias will grow in any good garden soil, preferably one that contains a
little sand. The best time for planting is in May, placing the tuber on its side at a
depth of about 6 inches, in ground that has been previously well cultivated. Cul-
tivate freely until ready to bloom, then deep tillage must cease and only the sur-
face be lightly stirred, as deep cultivation at this time is fatal to blooming. Do
not use commercial fertilizer until the plant starts growth, then work it into the
top soil, 5 to 6 inches from plant.
All tubers sent out by us are in a healthy condition, with one or more eyes
or sprouts. Order early, before the supply of many varieties is exhausted, as we
fill orders in the order they are received.
Postage extra on all bulbs. Those wishing to have their bulbs insured, please
send 5 cents extra for insurance.

ROSES
Planting and Care
In our favored section Roses attain a perfection seldom equaled, but one can-
not expect them to thrive and bloom unless you care for them. We offer the fol-
lowing simple suggestions:
Roses may be planted any time the weather is open, after November 1 until
May 1. These dates vary some with the weather.
Bushes should be set two to three feet apart. In planting budded stock, al-
ways cover the bud at least two to three inches. Avoid planting alongside a build-
ing, tight fence or wall.
Soil — Any good, well-drained garden soil, enriched with fertilizer, will give ex-
cellent results. If heavy clay soil, mulch well with burnt earth and manure, rotted
sod or leaf mold.
Watering — When setting out, water regularly until roots are well set, then
about once a week, unless the ground is very dry; in such cases more often. Do
not get the foliage wet after a hot day. This causes mildew.
Fertilizer — Our Wilgrow odorless fertilizer will give excellent results and
should always be applied after the plants start their growth. For fall fertilizing
Bone Meal well worked into the soil.
Finally — Keep the surface well worked around the roots. This is as necessary
as water or fertilizer. When planting cut back freely, and the bush will recover
quickly.
Two-year-old Field Grown Roses — Our stock of roses includes such kinds as
we find desirable and the best for this climate. They are all large, sturdy field
grown plants, 2 years old or more. •
N. B. — We can furnish most of the choice and new novelties in roses. If they
are not listed write for wants and quotations.

FRUIT AND ORNAMENTAL TREES, ETC.
We deliver only choice, healthy trees, bushes, etc., and use every endeavor to
see that you get only such stock as will insure you success. A great many of the
failures with nursery stock are due to the manner in which they are handled after
being taken from the nursery.
Immediately on receipt of trees, shrubs, etc., have them set or carefully heeled
in until such time as you can set them out permanently; do not allow the roots
of trees, shrubs or plants to be exposed to the sun or wind; often an hours ex-
posure will kill the hardiest tree.
When planting, dig a hole large enough to accommodate the root system with-
out bending or bunching the roots, also somewhat deeper than you expect to set
the tree, so that you can fill in several inches of good soil mixed with well rotted
manure or bone meal, before setting the tree. etc. Then set the tree, placing the
roots as nearly as possible in a natural position; fill in opening about half with
fine dirt, then grasp the tree, lifting and shaking it slightly, letting the fine dirt
sift in and around the root system; thoroughly saturate the fine dirt just placed
with water, so that the dirt will adhere to the roots. Then fill in balance of open
ing with dry dirt, packing firmly in and around the tree, setting the tree somewhat
deeper than it was in the nursery. Always prune the root system of all bruised
or broken ends of roots, making clean cuts from the under side of root outward
before planting the tree, prune top back until it is not larger than the root system.
We are in close connection with one of the largest and best nurseries in the
Northwest, and can supply all orders with good, strong, healthy stock, free from
insects and true to name. All orders will be packed at the nursery; it will, there-
fore, take from two to five days before they can be shipped.
The following list comprises the varieties suited to this climate. If other va-
rieties are wanted let us know. We may be able to supply same.
We do not substitute unless we receive special instructions to that effect. If
stock is sold out money will be refunded.

The Standard is the busy man’s sprayer. Always ready; saves half the time of
doing the work. This is without doubt the best Spray Pump that has ever been
offered to the buying public. It is simple, durable and powerful, and is equally
good for field, garden or orchard work. It is made of brass, with two solid brass
valves; it is provided with two nozzles, 3% feet of hose and strainer. It is war-
ranted unconditionally for five years. No need of unwieldy extension rods, lad-
ders or platforms. It will do the work in one-third the time required by any other
sprayer. It will spray a large orchard when used with a barrel. One man will do
better and faster work than two men with an ordinary barrel pump. It will white-
wash cow stables and chicken houses, sprays cattle dip and disinfectants. Owing
to the construction of the Standard Spray Pump, the force is sufficient to cover
the highest fruit tree and penetrate the thickest foliage — reaching the vital parts
of the tree. Used with a knapsack potato attachment it will spray ay field of pota-
toes, one row at a time, as fast as a man can walk. Everyone who has used this
pump or seen it used is an enthusiastic booster for it, and we like to sell it, for it
always makes a satisfied customer of the person who buys it. No man with a spot
of ground to call his own can afford to be without this pump. The price is so
reasonable that it is within the reach of all. Weight, 6 lbs.
The Standard is provided with a set of three nozzles.

GOLD FISH
Did you ever own a globe or aquarium? You admire them, no doubt, for their
pretty, exquisite coloring and graceful movements. If you have never kept fish
you cannot realize how interesting they are after you become familiar with them.
There is very little trouble in keeping gold and other ornamental fish in a good,,
healthy condition. All that is required is to take a little time and absorb general
instructions concerning the management of a balanced aquarium.
The Globe or Tank
Some prefer for small living rooms a bowl, others tanks. Either will answer,
providing the area is enough. Experience has proved that approximately one inch
of fish to every gallon of water is the quota. In an ordinary fish globe you should
not keep more than one or two small goldfish. After cleaning your globe or tank
which should be filled with clear cold water. Never use hot water or soap, as this
is liable to contaminate the water and kill the fish.
Water plays an important part in the health of fish. The best water to use is
city or lake; well water will answer if it is pure. (Don’t use sulphur or lime water.)
Boiled or distilled water contains no oxygen and should not be used. Cold water
contains too much oxygen. In the winter let the water stand in a warm room until
the chill is off, otherwise cold water starts a fungus growth which is fatal to fish.
Temperature should run between 50 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Light is an im-
portant thing for the right functioning of an aquarium. See that the globe or tank
can get plenty of bright white light all the time, and a little sun for an hour of the
day will be helpful.
Feeding
Feeding: Most people overfeed. Care must be taken that the fish do not get
more than they can consume in about five minutes and never feed more than this.
The uneaten food decays and poisons the water, with death as result. It is well
enough to feed once a day. It is better to underfeed than overfeed.
We handle only American fish. Prices 20c each and up, according to size.

DOGS
Choosing the right dog! What does this mean, and how can it he assured?
It means a dog that bears good health and good breeding. No one would know-
ingly select a dog or any other animal that is ill, lacking in stamina or otherwise
in anything but a normal state of health, which situation immediately suggests a
dog that is country bred. Then there are age and sex; now and then a mature dog
may prove the choice, because he is house-trained and settled in deportment. But
generally a puppy two to four months old will have the preference, as they can be
brought up as you wish. In regard to sex, male dogs are more independent and
masculine in character than female, while the latter are inclined to greater docil-
ity and greater freedom from other dogs. In intelligence the two sexes are on
about par. As to price, a female is almost always less expensive. Whatever the
age or sex of the dog you select, let him be well bred, not necessarily a blue-rib-
bon winner, unless you are ambitious to enter the show game. The choice of a
breed is a personal matter. For example, the larger active breeds are adapted to
the country or suburban homes, where they can have free exercise and fresh air.
In the city the smaller kinds are more fitting, less space, less dog. Each of the
fifty or more standard breeds have its individual traits which distinguish it from
the others. Feed him stale bred and milk, well cooked vegetables, puppy or dog
biscuits, a little lean meat, a good, heavy bone to gnaw on at least once a week.
Avoid poultry bones and potatoes in any form. Your personal questions of matters
pertaining to dog care, etc., will have our attention. For accessories see following
pages.

The New Method of Poisoning
Gophers and Squirrels
EXPLANATION
Five years ago people in Southern California were holding mass
meetings on golfer control. Gopher-Scent was placed on the market at
that time to meet the emergency. It proved its effectiveness beyond the
hopes of every one concerned and thousands of boxes are being sold each
year in California and through its merits it has spread to all gopher-
infested States of the West.
Gopher-Scent is a specially prepared poisoned combination of Cali-
fornia grains, sun-dried and scented. The Scent attracts and draws
gophers and squirrels to the bait and the grain carries a perfect blend
which makes it agreeable to the taste; in fact, gophers and squirrels will
eat it in preference to any other food.
