About Warranting Seeds — We have often been asked if we “guarantee or warrant our Seeds.”
We beg to state plainly we do not, for the reason that practical experience has assured us of the fact that
crops may fail, no matter how fresh or pure the seed sown may be. We trust that our customers will fully
realize that it is to our interest to send none but the very best quality of seeds. It would be folly
to do otherwise, unless we wanted to sacrifice our good reputation for selling Reliable Seeds, which we are
constantly striving to extend.
To secure success, however, it is necessary that the customer should do his part well, or our good seeds
will be ruined. With the best of management and with good seeds there will be an occasional unaccount-
able failure. The best of gardeners sometimes fail, and try again with the same seed with good results.
The J. M. McCullough’s Sons Co., gives no warranty, express or implied, as to descrip-
tion, quality, productiveness or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs or plants it sells, and
it will not be in any way responsible for the crop.
We shall always be pleased to reward customers who send us the names and post-office addresses
of their friends who buy Seeds, Bulbs, Plants, Poultry Supplies, etc.

4*“ — ** — — ** — >“ — »“ — »» — “-4* quick-growing sorts for best results. Our mixture is the result of several years
experimenting, and, as we now offer it, is unequaled. The quantity required for
making a new lawn is 75 to 100 pounds per acre, or for renovating old lawns, 40 to 50 pounds per acre. For a plot 10x25
or 250 square feet, one pound is required for a new lawn, or about one-half pound for renovating
Our “Suburban” Lawn Seed mixture is very much to be preferred to any single grass, because the several varieties
• of grasses which compose it, mature at different seasons of the year, thus keeping the green sward in good color and condition
during the hot weather, not losing its color, as the single variety is liable to do.
How to Make a Lawn. — A well-kept lawn instantly commands the attention of all lovers of the beautiful in Nature,
and is an unfailing mark of intelligence and taste. To obtain best results the main point is to start right. Seed will make a
better lawn than turf or sod. The best soil is a good medium texture; the surface should be thoroughly pulverized and
smoothed to the desired grade; remove all large stones, roots and hardened pieces of earth that can not be readily broken,
ample time beiner allowed for the thorough settling of the soil, which is greatly aided by a few heavy showers of rain. When
the soil is firm, level and suitably moist, sow “Suburban” Lawn Grass Seed at the rate of 75 to 100 pounds per acre.
It is unwise to be too economical in the quantity of seed used, if the best results are desired. The seed should be sown
broadcast and as evenly as possible, then give a thorough rolling or tamp well with the back of a spade. The seed must
be well firmed in the soil. When the young grass attains sufficient height, it should be mown with a lawn mower every
week or ten days, according to the season.
We have frequently been asked the question, “What causes the growth of Crab Grass in our lawns?”
From our own experience and observation, we have learned that most of our native grasses go through a rest period
in late summer, generally in July and August, and it is at this time that the Crab Grass begins to make its appearance, and
if the weather should prove showery it has the effect of producing a vigorous growth of this pest.
Crab Grass re-seeds itself, and experience has proven that the seeds will remain dormant in the ground an indefinite
length of time until the proper season arrives for their growth and development.
No method of control is known except hand weeding, although White Clover tends to retard its growth. Raking
with a sharp-toothed rake and mowing with a low-set mower is sometimes effectual in preventing seeding. Crab Grass does
not grow in the shade and is killed by the first hard frost, but the seed in the ground will grow the next season.
As Crab Grass flourishes under showery conditions, too much sprinkling may aid its growth. Do not sprinkle super-
ficially or too often, a thorough soaking every ten days being much more effective.
Our “Suburban” Lawn Grass Mixture does not contain the seed of Crab Grass. “Suburban” Lawn Grass
assures a successful, and with a certain amount of renovating, a permanent lawn.
General Surface Renovating. — When your lawn has been established, you will find it to your advantage to lightly
re-seed each season As early as possible, carefully rake off all dead leaves, etc., and give the lawn a dressing of our pulverized
SHEEP MANURE, or our PURE BONE MEAL at the rate of at least 500 pounds per acre, and rake in, after which sow
our “Suburban” Lawn Grass Seed at the rate of three to four bushels (40 to 50 lbs.) to the acre; roll thoroughly or tamp
with the back of a spade.
Renovating in Spots or Patches. — Everyone is aware that even in the best-kept lawns unsightly spots devoid of
grass will appear, which are caused by root-destroying insects or fungus disease; and as these spots are not protected by a
covering of turf during the winter, as a natural consequence, the chemical elements in the soil are leached out by the action
of the weather, causing them to “cake” or become hard early in the spring. It is useless and a waste of seed to sow these
spots unless they are carefully prepared to receive the seed. For this purpose it is our practice to cover them with either of
the fertilizers mentioned above at the rate of 13 lbs. for each 250 square feet, then dig these spots up, and after raking until
no trace of the fertilizers can be seen, sow our “Suburban” Lawn Grass Seed at the rate of 1 lb. to each 250 square feet.
Roll thoroughly or tamp with the back of a spade. When any weeding is done on the lawn immediately drop a few grains
of seed wherever a weed is removed, and while the soil is disturbed press the seed into the soil.

“SHADY -PLACE”
LAWN GRASS SEED
ON nearly all lawns there are more or less shady
places, which result in having bare and unsight-
ly spots on which the owners have difficulty in
securing a satisfactory stand of grass. After many
years of experimenting with different grasses, both
native and foreign, we several years ago developed
our present “Shady Place” Lawn Grass Seed
Mixture.
rAThis mixture of grasses is adapted for such places,
as it is composed of dwarf-growing grasses which are
found naturally growing in shady locations.
Should the ground be covered with moss, first
remove the moss with a sharp rake and apply
commercial fertilizer at the rate of not less than
600 pounds per acre, then sow our Shady Place
Mixture at the rate of 75 to 100 pounds per acre, or
one pound to each 250 square feet, after which roll thoroughly.
Prices: — H lb., 30c; 11b., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.25; 10 lbs., $4.25; 20 lbs., $8.25.

PUTTING GREEN MIXTURE
F late years there has developed a tendency among
golf Architects and Greenskeepers to discontinue the
use of commercial grass seed mixtures on Putting
Greens, due probably to many unsuitable mixtures on the
market and to the increasing use of German Bent seed alone
and the recently introduced method of planting Creeping
Bent vegetatively by means of stolons or runners.
See page 49 for description of American Creep-
ing Bent.
There is however a steady demand for a reliable mixture
of grass seeds from those who have found Bent Greens
more liable to fungus attack than Greens composed of
mixed grasses, and it is to meet this demand that our mix-
ture is prepared.
Our Putting Green Mixture contains a liberal quantity
of German Bent in combination with the finest grades of
Kentucky Blue Grass and Fancy Red Top, and will give
fine satisfaction on green or lawn. Red Fescue may be
included if desired. Sow 8 to 10 lbs. to 1,000 sq. ft.
y lb. ,40c; 1 lb., 75c; 5 lbs., $3. 50; 10 lbs. , $6. 25 ; 20 lbs. ,$12. 00.
We are in a position to furnish a hardy strain of Creep-
ing Bent stolons for planting greens and lawns vegetatively.
Prices and full information on application.
FAIRWAY MIXTURE
A MIXTURE of grasses for fairways is to be preferred
to any one grass and our fairway mixture will give
splendid satisfaction wherever used. We make no
mystery of its composition and will be glad to furnish any
of the grasses separately or prescribe for any condition of
soil and climate. For fall sowing we recommend a large
proportion of Kentucky Blue Grass, but where quick results
are desired more of the rapid growing sorts must be used.
Sow 100 lbs. to 150 lbs. to the acre.
1 lb. ,45c; 5 lbs. ,$2.00; 50 lbs. ,$18. 00; 100 lbs. ,$35. 00.
TERRACE MIXTURE
There is nothing more annoying than to have groimd
washed out. In this mixture we have put quick-growing
and deep-rooted grasses. Of course, it depends a great
deal on this being well started before very heavy rains.
V2 lb. ,25c; 1 lb. ,45c; 5 lbs. ,$2.00; 10 lbs. ,$3.75 ; 20 lbs. ,$7.25.
Sulphate of Ammonia, Phosphate of Ammonia and
Nitrate of Soda applied sparingly are the best fertilizers for
Putting Greens.
We wish to emphasize the fact that one of the important
essentials for success in building lawns, lies in the abundant
use of Fertilizers, which should be applied at the rate of
not less than 600 poimds per acre.
Pulverized Sheep Manure and Pure Bone Meal
are the best Fertilizers for lawns. See Fertilizers.

BEANS Dwarf or Bush
One pound will plant 200 feet of row — 100 to 120 pounds per acre
WHILE the Bean is a very tender plant and, therefore, should not be
planted until there is no more danger of frost, still it often pays to take
some risks. Plant in a warm loamy soil at the beginning of warm
weather in spring and at intervals for succession until August. Rows may
be made 2 feet apart and the beans planted 2 inches deep and a few inches
apart in the rows, or 3 to 4 beans in hills 6 to 8 inches apart.
Cultivate and hoe frequently, always, however, when the vines are per-
fectly dry; working them when wet with rain or dew will cause them to rust
and injure the crop. In hoeing, draw the soil up towards the rows or plants.
For string Beans gather the pods clean as soon as fit for use. The plants will
remain all the longer in bearing.

BEANS Continued
Dwarf or Bush Lima
One pound will plant 100 feet of row.
THE Dwarf Lima class can not be recommended too
highly. The Beans can be grown and gathered much
more easily than the Pole Limas as the plants require
no support. They can also be grown closer together than
those of any Pole variety. Dwarf Limas are fully equal in
quality to Pole Limas and as a rule are earlier maturing.
Limas require a longer season for maturing than other
garden Beans. Do not plant till the ground is dry, weather
warm and danger of frost is over. If possible, select rich
light soil. Plant eye downward in rows two to three feet
apart, and four to six inches apart in the row, covering
one and one-half to two inches deep. If planted in hills
make the hills two to three feet apart one way and two to
two and one-half feet the other and plant four to six beans
in a hill. Hoe often, but only when the leaves are dry.
All varieties of Beans, pkt., 10c postpaid; for larger
quantities by mail, see “Postage,” 2nd page of cover.
Burpee’s Improved Bush Lima. Pods and beans are
both larger and thicker than Burpee’s Bush Lima and
fully eight days earlier. Plant is a vigorous grower
with heavy foliage. Even when of full size the enormous
beans are of the most luscious flavor.
Pkt.. 10c; Yi lb. ,25c ; 1 lb., 40c; 51bs.. $1.60; 15 lbs., $4. 50.
Fordhook Bush Lima
This is one of the
best Bush Lima Beans
in cultivation. It has a
distinct upright vigor-
ous growth; the pods,
which are borne in
clusters well above the
ground, frequently con-
tain as many as 5
thick luscious beans.
Burpee’s Improved Bush Lima
It matures very early and continues in bearing till frost. This is so far ahead of the
old strain of Burpee’s Bush Lima, that it should be used instead; the bean is thicker,
sweeter and earlier, being also more prolific.
Pkt., 10c; Vi lb., 25c; 1 lb., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.60; 15 lbs., $4.50.
Burpee’s Bush Lima. This is the true bush form of the old large Lima Pole Bean.
It grows vigorously to a height of 18 to 20 inches, forming a circular bush 2 to
2 3^ feet in diameter, requiring no poles or stakes, yielding from 50 to 100 fine
pods, similar to those grown on the Large White Lima Bean.
Pkt., 10c; H lb., 20c; 1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.50; 15 lbs., $4.20.
Henderson’s Bush Lima. For convenience and practical use in the home garden,
it is a really good thing. It grows without the aid of poles, in compact bush
form, about 18 inches high.

POLE LIMA
One pound will plant 100 feet of row.
OF all the Pole Beans, Limas are considered to have the greatest economic value.
The culture is the same as for other Pole Beans except that being more tender,
the beans are usually planted one to two weeks later. Plant in hills about three
feet apart, and one to two inches deep, using five or six beans to each hill, and set a
pole firmly in the center. Manure liberally in the hill with well-decomposed fertilizer.
Thin the plants, leaving three in each hill. Many cultivators consider it best,
in planting Limas and other flat beans, to place the eye down, claiming in this way
that they will germinate more quickly. Lima Beans for early use may be grown in
frames and transplanted.

Pole or Running Varieties
One pound will plant 200 feet of row — 90 to 100 pounds
per acre.
THE Pole or Running varieties are tender and should be
sown two weeks later than Bush Beans. They succeed
best in sandy loam, which should be liberally enriched with
manure. Form hills 3 to 4 feet apart; plant 6 to 10 beans in a
hill, 2 inches deep, leaving space in center for the pole. When
well started, they should be thinned to from 4 to 6 plants in
a hill.

BEETS
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill — 12 pounds
for an acre.
THE soil which is best suited is that which is rather light
and thoroughly enriched with manure. For an early
supply sow in spring as soon as the ground becomes
fit to work, in drills twelve to sixteen inches apart and
one inch deep. Or seed may be sown under glass four
weeks sooner, and the young seedlings transplanted to
open ground to give an extra
early ctop. “
For main crop, sow the
first week in May, and for
winter use sow in June.
When the plants have
attained three or four leaves,
thin out so they may stand
five or six inches apart.
Keep free from weeds by
hand-weeding or hoeing. In
October roots may be taken
up and stored in the cellar or
in pits outside like potatoes,
care being taken that they
are not bruised or injured
in the process.

CABBAGE
McCullough’s Early Louisville Drumhead
Sow one ounce for 2,500 to 2,800 plants; five
and one-half ounces for one acre.
FOR plants of the earliest sorts, sow seed in January
or February under glass, and prick out in flats or
frames about 2 inches apart each way. Transplant
to open ground as soon in spring as the land can be
properly prepared. A rich, warm, fibrous loam is best.
Have the plants in the rows 20 to 24 inches apart, and
rows at least 2 feet apart. Give thorough cultivation
and irrigate in dry weather if practicable. Protect
from the ravages of cutworm, maggot and green worm.
A little nitrate of soda applied around the plant is of
great benefit. For late Cabbage plants, sow seed in
drills in open ground diming April and May, and trans-
plant in June and July, giving the plants more room
than allowed for earliest Cabbages. Dusting with Slug
Shot, tobacco dust, insect powder, etc., or splashing
with hot soapsuds, especially Fish Oil Soap solution,
are good and safe remedies for some of the insect pests
attacking plants of the Cabbage.

market gardeners, and it will stand hot weather better than
any other sort; will stand the entire summer without burst-
ing; in fact, we produced heads that weighed 18 pounds on
September 1, having been planted with Jersey Wakefield,
which was long unfit for use. Our Louisville forms large,
solid heads, and is the earliest large-heading variety, while,
if planted later, it makes excellent heads for winter. The
quality is very fine, and is remarkable for its certainty to
head. For winter use, sow later in the season. We have
received expressions of unanimous praise from all parts of
the country, and could fill many pages of our catalogue
with testimonials Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 34 lb*. $1.00.
NOTE: — McCullough’s “Louisville Drumhead”
Cabbage is so well known and so much sought after
that many firms are offering cheap stocks. We have
tested many of these and find some entirely untrue and
others of inferior strains. Be sure to get our highly
selected, genuine type direct from us.
McCullough’s Early Market. A new, early, round head
Cabbage. It will produce double the crop of any
other early variety; always extremely solid and fine
ribbed. It is very dwarf and compact, allowing of
close planting. Heads fine, ball-shaped, and with few
outside leaves. Size ideal for marketing.
Pkt., 10c; oz., 75c; 34 lb., $2.50.
Golden Acre. This is a new, early, round-headed Cabbage
which closely resembles Copenhagen Market in type.
As its name implies, it is a money-maker. It is 8 to 10
days earlier than Copenhagen Market but is smaller and
can be planted closer. Because of its earliness and
fine quality it commands a higher price than any
round-headed Cabbage.
Pkt., 10c; oz., 75c; 34 lb., $2.50.
All-Seasons. (Yandergaw.) Large, hard, solid and
slightly flattened heads. As good for Autumn or
Winter as for early Summer.

more weight to the acre than Ballhead. The heads are
produced about ten days earlier, are splendid keepers
and bring the highest prices on market in winter.
Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; 34 lb., $1.25.

varieties in cultivation. The heads are pyramidal in
shape, having a blunted or rounded peak. We believe
our selected stock has no equal.
Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 34 lb., $1.00.
Copenhagen Market. The earliest large, round headed
sort ripening early and uniform. It has few outer
leaves and it grows close to the ground on a short stem.

Succession. A second early, round-head sort. Heads are
solid, keep well and are of splendid quality; color, fight
green Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 34 lb., $1.00.
THEY are particularly adapted to private use where
quality, rather than quantity is desired. Grown in
fall and allowed to be touched by frost, it is one of
the most delicious of all vegetables.
American Drumhead Savoy. Heads large and very
finely curled; short stalk and compact grower; an ex-
cellent keeper Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 34 lb., $1.00.
PE-TSAI, CHINESE OR CELERY CABBAGE
THE Seed we offer is the true variety which has been
grown in China for many years. This new vegetable
is a species of Cabbage with a fine delicate flavor and
resembles a stalk of Celery more than a head of Cabbage.
It is as tender as Head Lettuce and is rapidly coming into
general use for salads or cold slaw. Can also be eaten raw
or may be cooked. The many uses to which it can be put
as a “high toned vegetable” are bound to make it popular
with the public as well as the market gardener. This
delicious vegetable may be grown in any soil that will grow
good Cabbage, but to attain perfection should be grown in
cool, moist and very rich soil.
Seed should be sown about the first of August in rows
24 to 36 inches apart, thinning to 15 inches apart in the rows.
If weather is warm at time of heading tie up like Endive
and keep well watered
As this variety will nor stand frost it should be stored
in a cool, frost-proof cellar. Early sowing is not recom-
mended Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 34 lb., $1.00.

CARROTS
One ounce will sow 200 feet of drill —
three and one-half pounds for an acre.
Alight sandy loam; well-tilled and manured
the previous year, best suits the Carrot.
For early crop sow as early as the ground
can be worked, in drills 10 inches apart, and
thin to 5 inches apart. The Early Market,
owing to its extreme earliness, is used for
hot-bed culture. The late sorts; long and
half-long varieties (main crop), sow from
middle of May until first of July in drills
12 to 14 inches apart. Thin out to 6 and 7
inches in row. Keep the hoe at work. Car-
rot seed is slow to germinate.
Carrot Seed grown for stock requires
one-half ounce for 200 feet of drill, one
and one-half pounds for an acre.
Early Market, Stump-rooted. A very
choice strain, tender, fine-grained flesh.
An enormous producer, handsome, uni-
form stumped roots. Considered by many to be the
best table Carrot, because of its quality and shape;
free from core and of a deep golden yellow color. Can
be sown thick, and consequently well adapted for frame
culture. A most excellent forcer.

CAULIFLOWER
One ounce of seed will produce about 2,200 plants.
FOR early use, sow in hotbeds in January and February. When plants are large enough, transplant three inches apart
in boxes or other hotbeds until time to plant out. If hardened off they are seldom injured by planting out as early as
the ground can be worked, 2 Vi feet apart each way. When practicable, seed may be sown in rich soil from the middle
of September to middle of October, and transplanted in frames, protect during severe weather and give light and air on mild
days. The early varieties should be brought to maturity before summer heat sets in. The late sorts mature in the autumn
and are cultivated same as winter Cabbages.

Witloof Chicory, or French Endive. Seed should be sown
in the open ground not later than June in drills twelve
to eighteen inches apart, thinning plants so they will
stand about three inches apart. The plant forms long,
parsnip-shaped roots, which should be lifted in the
fall, and after cutting off the leaves store in soil in a
cool place until wanted for forcing. To force, plant
closely in trenches deep enough to permit covering the
roots with soil 8 inches deep. If quicker growth is
desired mulch with manure 2 feet deep. Requires
four to five weeks to force. The blanched head is the
edible portion and should be cut with a portion of the
neck attached to it. The principal use of Witloof is
as a winter salad, and it is most delicious served with
French dressing and eaten like Cos Lettuce.

CELERY
One ounce will produce about 25,000 plants
TO grow early Celery, sow the seed late in March in a
hotbed or box; and for later crops, as soon as the
weather becomes warm, sow in the open ground, cover
lightly, or better still, roll or press it in. Shade the young
plants for a week or ten days, and do not let the soil dry
out. The tops may be shorn off once or twice before plant-
ing, so as to insure “stocky” plants, which will suffer less
on being transplanted. When from four to six inches
high, transplant in broad, shallow trenches, or on the level
ground, setting the dwarf sorts into rows three feet apart,
and the tall varieties four feet apart and six inches apart
in the rows. The soil should be light, highly manured,
partially shaded and moist, or near water, as the plants
must be freely watered in dry weather, but it should not be
put directly on them. Earthing up checks growth and
should not begin until quite well grown, then earth up
gradually, keeping the leaf stalks close together, so that
the soil may not fall into the center of the plant, but never
earth up in wet weather, nor when dew is on them. That
intended for winter and spring use needs little banking;
when stored for winter it will naturally blanch beautifully
white.

CUCUMBERS
Use one ounce of seed to 50 hills, 2 to 3 pounds per acre.
FOR very early Cucumbers, sow April 1st, in a hotbed upon pieces of sod (grass side down), so that they can be readily
transplanted to the open ground, in rich soil, when danger of frost is over, or protect by handglasses. For early use,
plant, if the weather has become settled and warm, in hills 4 to 6 feet apart each way; thin out to four of the strongest*
plants to each hill, after all danger from insects is over. They succeed best in a warm, moist, rich, loamy soil. Continue
planting at intervals for a succession. The Cucumbers should be gathered when large enough for use, whether required
or not; if left to ripen, it destroys their productiveness. For pickles, plant from June until the middle of July. The yellow-
striped cucumber or squash beetle is the most serious insect enemy of this crop.
Bordeaux Arsenate of Lead Mixture is by far the best remedy yet discovered. Dilute it with water, 3 ounces to the
gallon, and spray it on the vines when in danger of the beetle or blight.

MUSKMELONS
One ounce will plant about 50 hills; 2 to 3 pounds
in hills per acre.
IN selecting a patch for melons be careful to have it at
a safe distance from your Squashes, Cucumbers, Pump-
kins, etc., or they will certainly mix. In preparing
the hills, fork in plenty of manure, and about the middle of
May, when the ground is warm, plant in each hill eight or
ten seeds, and cover half an inch deep. After the danger
from bugs is over, pull all but three or four of the strongest
plants. As soon as the vines have run sufficiently and
spread their branches — stop them by pinching the top off
the first running bud. This will strengthen the plants and
promote their perfecting fruit early. The ground should
be kept free from weeds and frequently cultivated.
Acme. Medium size, oval, slightly pointed at end, ribbed,
covered when ripe, with coarse netting. Flesh thick,
green, very fine flavored and sweet.
Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 34 lb., 40c.
Banana. A long, smooth-skinned variety, growing some-
thing in the shape of long squash. Fruit about 12
inches long; salmon flesh, which is very sweet, luscious
and tender. Rather late maturing. Has a delicious
odor Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 34 lb., 50c.
Burrell Gem. A superior, new, orange-fleshed, shipping
melon of splendid flavor, sweet and aromatic; oblong
in shape, smoothly rounded ends, closely netted and
slightly ribbed, dark green skin. Rind thin, but very
tough; flesh exceptionally deep, rich salmon-orange
color. Fruit averages 6 inches long by 4 inches deep.
Very fine for marketing.
Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 34 lb., 40c.
Defender. Medium size, salmon flesh, and delicious flavor;
oval shape, slightly ribbed and covered with a slight
netting Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; J4 lb., 40c.
Delicious. The result of several years careful selection.
The shape is ideal, being slightly oval and heavily
netted over the entire surface. The flesh is as thick
at the bloom end as elsewhere, and the flesh of the
entire Melon is noticeably thick, fine grained and
sweet. The color is green with a gold margin next to
the seed cavity. It is attractive, both as to outward
appearance and when cut.
Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; J4 lb., 50c.
Emerald Gem. Ripens early; medium size; nearly round;
flesh a delicate salmon color, very thick, fine grained,
and very few melons can compare with it in superb
flavor. The rind is thin dark green, ribbed, slightly
netted Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 34 lb., 50c.
Extra Early Hackensack. A careful selection from
Hackensack. Produces melons two weeks earlier than
the well-known Hackensack; heavily netted, and has
light green flesh of most delicious flavor; a splendid
Cantaloupe melon. Its shape and solidity admit of
its being packed very closely in crates for shipment,
and it will keep in good condition for several days
after picking Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 34 lb., 40c.
Golden Champlain. The extreme earliness of the Golden
Champlain, which has made a record of ripening melons
in 57 days from planting seed in the open field, puts
it ahead of all others in this respect. This earliness
is due to its rapid germination and growth, early
blossoming and setting, and rapid development after
setting. It is only a short time after the melons
attain full size until they are ripe.
The Golden Champlain is the only early melon with
the high quality of the best later ones. The flesh is of
a very rich golden color, very thick, fine and of delicious
flavor clear to the rind. It is covered on the outside
with a heavy gray netting, over a dark green skin.
The size averages from two to three pounds in weight,
is nearly round, and slightly ribbed. It is firm and
stands up well, does not split open while ripening, and
is one of the handsomest melons on the market.
The yield of marketable melons is what really
counts in your profit; the Champlain sets a heavy crop
and ripens them quickly. Those set close to the center
ripen first, then those farther out on the vine, giving a
longer picking season than most kinds. There is no
other melon which combines all the desirable points
as does the Golden Champlain.
The Seed we offer is genuine originator’s seed.
Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; 34 lb., $1.00; 1 lb., $3.00.
Hackensack. Melons grow to large size and attractive
appearance. Flesh green, very sweet and sugary.
Outer skin is heavily netted.
Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 34 lb., 40c.
Golden Champlain
Honey Ball. This melon is one of the most prolific early
varieties grown, as it matures about one week later
than the Rocky Ford, or in approximately 105 days.
It is as round as a ball and has a very thick wall
of delicious green meat clear to the rind. The seed
cavity is small, rind is tough and consequently is a good
shipping melon. Its color is greenish white until it
is fully ripe, when it turns a creamy white or bright
yellow, slightly netted. It has a high sugar content
and a delicious flavor.
This melon is of large size and almost absolutely
uniform. For home use, the melons should be pulled
when apparently ripe and stored away for a few days
before using. The melons, being of uniform size,
pack nicely twelve to the crate.
Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; 34 lb., $1.50; 1 lb., $4.00.
Honey Dew. All the claims of the introducer of this de-
licious Melon have been fully realized. Average size
is about six to eight inches in diameter, and they
weigh five to six pounds. Skin smooth with little net-
ting, and of creamy yellow color when ripe. Flesh is
green, thick, melting, fine grained and can be eaten
almost to the rind. Not easily bruised, and stands
shipping long distances. Easily pulled when ripe and
will keep for several weeks. Matures about ten days
later than the Rocky Ford.
Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; % lb., 50c.
Improved Green Nutmeg. A large melon, nearly round,
deeply ribbed; flesh thick, light green, delicious flavor.

ture, sugary, juicy, tender and free from stringiness.
It is round, inclined to oval, distinctly ribbed, and
thickly netted. Handsome and uniform shape; mar-
ket and home-garden Melon. Because of its firm
flesh and solidity, it is a splendid shipper. Produces
good melons on a great variety of soils.
Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 34 lb., 50c.
Osage, or Miller’s Cream. A favorite salmon-fleshed va-
riety. Large oval, slightly ribbed and netted; skin is
very dark green. Flesh is very thick and sweet fla-
vored, most delicious to the rind. A great favorite
for both market purposes and the home garden.
Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 34 lb., 50c.
Rocky Ford. A variety extensively grown in Colorado.
The reasons for the widespread popularity of these
melons are their superb table and wonderful shipping
qualities which enable them to be carried great dis-
tances, and yet arrive in first-class condition for mar-
ket. The fruit is of medium size, oval shaped, heavily
netted and very solid. The flesh is green, thick and
juicy. It is early and wonderfully productive.
Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; % lb., 40c.
Tip-Top. A yellow-fleshed melon of handsome appearance
and excellent quality. A medium sized Muskmelon,
nearly round in shape, with shallow netting on skin.

constantly increasing demand for our strain of Tip-Top
Melon Seed permanently establishes its superiority.

WATERMELONS
One ounce for 15 hills — 4 to 5 pounds for an acre.
WHILE a sandy loam is preferable for Watermelons they can be grown on a loamy soil having a clay subsoil, provided
it is deeply plowed. When ground is warm, plant 6 to 8 seeds in hills 6 to 10 feet apart each way and cover about
1 inch deep. When well up, thin out to 2 vines in each hill. Do not plant on land where Watermelons were grown
before, as the vines exhaust elements in the soil which makes succeeding crops defective.
Watermelons are slightly less subject to “bug” depredations and disease attacks than Muskmelons. At the same
time they are more easily hurt by strong spray mixtures, and caution in the use of such mixtures is advisable.
Kleckley’s Improved

improvement on the old type. This im-
proved type grows uniformly large, re-
taining all the fine qualities as a table
melon, with an important added

ONION SEED
FOR sets, drill the seed thickly as
early as possible in the Spring.
As soon as the tops dry off in the
Summer, remove to a dry, airy place.
May also be grown to full size the
first season by sowing thinly in drills
one foot apart and one-quarter inch
deep, in March or early April,
thinning to three or four inches
apart.
By sowing in frames in February
or March and transplanting in April,
onions of immense size can be
obtained. For this purpose the
Southport Globe varieties (white and
yellow) and Prizetaker are usually
preferred. Onions delight in a strong,
rich, deep loamy soil, and succeed
well if grown successive years on the
same ground.

PARSNIP
One ounce for 200 feet of drill.
4 to 5 pounds for an acre.
SOW seed early in spring, in deep, rich soil in drills. Scatter
the seeds thinly and cover evenly with a rake. After the
appearance of the plant, the soil must be stirred frequent-
ly until the leaves cover the ground. The seed is slow to
germinate, and is frequently a long time in coming up; will
vegetate sooner by steeping 6 to 12 hours in a liquid manure,
diluted with water and mixed with sand before sowing. When
well up, thin out to 5 to 6 inches apart in the rows. Unlike
Carrots, they are improved by frost, and it is usual to take up
in fall a certain quantity for winter use, leaving the rest in
the ground until spring, to be dug as required.
Large Sugar, or Hollow Crown. The best variety; roots long,
very smooth, white, tender, sugary and of excellent flavor.
This strain was made by careful selection of roots growing
to an ideal shape and having the distinct hollow crown.

PARSLEY
One ounce to 200 feet of drill.
SOW thickly early in April, in rows one foot apart and one-half
inch deep ; thin out the plants to stand six inches apart in the rows.
The seed is of slow germination, taking from three to four weeks
to make its appearance, and often failing to come up in dry weather.
To assist its coming up quicker, soak the seed a few hours in warm
water, or sprout in damp earth, and sow when it swells or bursts. For
winter use, protect in frame or light cellar.

soil late in the spring, and then thin out so as to stand 18 inches apart.
Topepo. In the Topepo we offer a new vegetable of exquisite flavor and
delicious quality. It is not an improvement on some other strain, but
is a new and distinct creation. The color is a vivid red, deeper than the
tomato, or golden yellow, striped with dark green. Resembles the Bell
Pepper in flavor, but is sweeter with some of the zest of the9tomato flavor.
Fruit is four to five inches in diameter, with the regular bulges of the
Bell Pepper. The seed we offer is the original strain of J. F. O’Keefe.
The Topepo is superior to the Pepper for stuffing and baking and is also
used for slicing in salads, for flavoring soups and gravies, or dressings,
and for stuffing with shrimp, crab and lobster. . .Pkt., 25c; 5 pkts., $1.00.

GARDEN PEAS
One pound will plant about 50 feet of drill — 90 to
120 pounds per acre.
PEAS succeed best in light, dry, loamy soil. Early and
Dwarf sorts require richer soil than the late varieties.
If manure is used, let it be old and well rotted, or there
will be a rank growth of vines with few pods. Sow the
early, smooth, round sorts as early in spring as the ground
can be worked. Seeds of wrinkled varieties are more liable
to rot if the ground is cold, and must be planted later.
From the first sowing, sow every two weeks until June
for a succession. After that there is danger of mildew.
Discontinue then until August, when a planting of extra
early or early sorts will often produce a good crop . Sow the seed
in single drills, three feet apart for dwarf sorts and four
for tall sorts, or in double drills six or eight inches apart,
one inch apart in the drill, and not less than four inches
deep, since deep planting prevents mildew and prolongs
the season. Cultivate well, and draw the earth twice
to the vines during growth. Stake the tall varieties when
they begin to vine. Pick the pods as soon as fit, and allow
none to ripen on the vines, as they will then cease bearing.
All kinds of Peas do best when supported with brush or
wire.

Early Varieties
♦§•" — ■> — — ■■ — ■— f The earliest and most prolific Pea
| McCullough’s | known. The pod is of a dark green
! “Maud S” I color, of a full, round shape, and of
— >■ — ■■—4 strong texture, which especially fits
it for shipping long distances. For a late fall crop it has
few equals, and is the market gardener’s favorite for all
seasons. The far northern point at which our Peas are
grown renders them almost proof against cold, and the best
for early spring or late fall crop. Thousands of market
gardeners have pronounced this Pea unequaled in earliness,
yield and regularity of growth. Make first planting as
early in the spring as the ground will permit and cover well.
Pkt., 10c; H lb. ,20c; 1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.20; 15 lbs., $3. 00.
Alaska. A wonderful early, smooth, blue Pea ; vines slender;
pods very dark green, about three inches long, well
filled with small, smooth, blue-green peas. The earli-
ness, uniformity in ripening and deep color render it
a desirable market and canning pea; height 2 feet.
Pkt., 10c; Yi lb. ,20c; 1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs. ,$1.20; 15 lbs. ,$3.00.
Laxtonian. The pods of Laxtonian are very large, and
are produced on a low-growing, sturdy vine, without
support of any kind. The flavor is just as rich and
good as any of the later varieties. It is ready for use
about a week later than the very early sorts, and is
incomparably good in quality. Pods and plant are
rich, dark green in color.
Pkt., 10c; M lb., 20c; 1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.35 ; 15 lbs., $3. 75.
Little Marvel. As early as American Wonder and Nott’s
Excelsior, the pods are larger and the vines produce a
heavier crop. For quality and productiveness it is
away ahead of everything in the way of extra early
wrinkled peas. It is dwarf, growing about 15 inches
high, and the plants are very productive, bearing
many twin pods, which are dark green in color.
Pkt., 10c; H lb., 20c; llb.,30c; 5 lbs., $1.25; 15 lbs., $3. 25.

Gradus or Prosperity. This remarkable Pea is not only
large and of the best quality, but is within two or
three days as early as the small, round, extra early
sorts. Gradus is a wrinkled Pea, growing about 30
inches high ; the pods are of a bright green color, measur-
ing 4 inches or more in length, as large as Telephone, well
filled with luscious peas, 8 or more in a pod. The peas
are of the highest table quality and retain, in a re-
markable manner, their color and attractive appearance
after cooking. Make the earliest sowing in the warmest
spot in the garden.
Pkt., 10c; Yi lb. ,20c; 1 lb., 30c; 5lbs.,$1.25; 15 lbs., $3. 25.

Extra early sorts. It ripens within a day or two of
the earliest round varieties, and is extremely produc-
tive. The pods are very large and contain 7 or 8 large-
sized wrinkled peas of the finest flavor. It is darker
colored than the Gradus and hardier in constitution;
height, three feet.

Alderman. A new Pea like the Telephone, only better. The vine is extra vigorous,
and the pods of Alderman are dark green and always well filled with fine large
peas. For a pea which should be staked there is none quite so good as Alderman.
It is one of the finest of the large-podded summer varieties. The haulm grows
five feet in height and is of a rich, dark green coloring, as are also the large pods.
Pods frequently measure nearly six inches in length and contain from ten to

SOW early and often. In good, warm, fibrous loam; especially if
quite sandy, summer Radishes will make a crop in 4 to 6 weeks
from sowing. The soil should be well prepared, and fertilizers
may be used freely. Have the rows a foot apart, and sow just seed
enough so that they will not require thinning. Any little spot that
becomes available during summer may be utilized for planting Radishes.
The short or turnip-rooted sorts are quickest and easiest to grow,
and good for forcing also. On greenhouse bench or in frames the
rows need not be more than 4 inches apart. Sow winter Radishes
in July and August. They grow best in the cooler Autumn weather.
Take them up before severe freezing and store in sand in the cellar
or in a pit, where they will keep tender and crisp all winter.
Special prices given to market gardeners.
«f»- ■■ ■■ — «■ — ■■ — >■ — 4 We were the introducers of this remark-
| McCullough’s j able radish, which has proven one of the
I Cincinnati Market I best long Radishes ever offered. It is
„ — .. — »■ — «. — »4» largely grown by the Cincinnati market
gardeners. The tops are so small that the radishes may stand touching
each other in the rows. They grow perfectly straight and smooth
and from six to seven inches in length. Their attractive, glossy,
scarlet skin is very thin and the flesh crisp and brittle, and of delight-
ful pungent flavor. It is the finest Long Red Radish for forcing and
out-sells any other that is put in competition with it on the market.
Being long standing, it is also an extra fine sort for the home garden,
entirely exempt from any tendency to become pithy or hollow.
Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 34 lb., 30c; per lb., $1.00.
Crimson Giant. This variety is suitable both for forcing or early
planting out of doors. A remarkable feature of this Radish is
that it will grow double the size of other round red forcing Radishes
and still remain solid. The ordinary forcing Radish, after growing
to the size of 2 inches in circumference becomes pithy, while the
Crimson Giant will grow to 6 inches in circumference, and still
remain solid and juicy, free from all signs of becoming soft.

Radish — Winter Varieties
THESE grow to large size, have firm, hard flesh, and
can be kept in good condition for use all winter by
packing the roots in moist sand or soil in a cold cellar
before the ground freezes in the fall. To have them crisp
and free from woodiness the seed should not be planted
until late in the summer, as if planted too early the roots
would be apt to become hard and woody before it is time
to put them away in the fall. A good rule to follow would
be to sow the seed at the same time as you would plant
seed for winter turnips, and where only a small supply is
needed the seed should be sown in the same patch with
the turnips.

One ounce for 100 feet of drill — 10 to 12 pounds for an acre.
FOR spring and summer use. ^ith^r broadcast or in drills as early as the ground

one with our market gard-
eners, which is done from
August to October and by
careful attention they have
it in marketable condition
throughout the entire win-
ter and spring.
If the land is dry the
seed should always be
rolled or trampled in,
for if the soil is loose
the hot air shrivels the
seed, so that it will not
germinate.

SQUASH
One ounce of the Bush Varieties for 40 Hills, or of the Large-Seeded Kinds, 15 Hills. Two to Three Pounds
of the Bush, and 3 to 4 Pounds of the Large-Seeded for an Acre.
IT IS useless to sow until the weather has become settled and warm. Light soils are best suited for its growth. Prepare
hills for the seeds by incorporating 2 or 3 shovelfuls of well-rotted manure with the soil for each hill. Plant the bush
varieties from 3 to 4 feet each way, and the running sorts
from 6 to 8 feet. Eight or ten seeds should be sown in each
hill, thinning out after they have attained their rough
leaves, leaving 3 or 4 of the strongest plants, after which
cultivate same as Cucumbers.
To repel the Squash vine borer put a handful of tobacco
dust close around the plants.
For Yellow-striped beetle and blight, spray early and
often with Bordeaux Lead Mixture or Sulfocide. Also
dust with Bug Death or Slug Shot.

Warted Hubbard. This strain, without doubt, grows
the finest Hubbard in existence. The wartiness
indicates a very hard shell, which is one of the
features in a long-keeping Squash; it also denotes
extra choice quality — the harder and more warty

TOBACCO
r I ''HE seed should be sown as early as possible after
danger of frost is over. A good plan is to burn
a quantity of brush and rubbish in the spring
on the ground intended for the seed-bed, then dig
and thoroughly pulverize the earth and mix the
ashes, after which the seed may be sown and covered
very lightly.
White Burley. Extra stock, grown largely for the
manufacture of fine-cut Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c.
Stand-Up Burley. The leaves instead of drooping
have a more erect position on the plant, turning
upward rather than down — hence the name
“Stand-Up.” It is fast becoming the most
popular type of Burley and largely grown by
planters in all Burley ssections.

TOMATO
McCullough’s Radio
One Ounce of Seed Will Produce About 3,000 Plants.
SOW in a hotbed, green-house or window in a sitting
room, where night temperature is not less than
sixty degrees, about the first week in March, in
drills five inches apart and half an inch deep. When
the plants are about two inches high they should be
set out in boxes three inches deep, four or five inches
apart, in same temperature, or removed into small pots,
allowing a single plant to a pot.
They are sometimes transplanted a second time
into larger pots, by which process the plants are rendered
more sturdy and branching. About the middle of
May, the plants may be set in the open ground. They
are planted for early crops on light, sandy soil, at a
distance of three feet apart, in hills in which a good shovel-
ful of rotted manure has been mixed. On heavy soils,
which are not suited for an early crop, they should be
planted four feet apart. Water freely at the time of
transplanting and shelter from the sun a few days until
the plants are established. For late use, sow in a sheltered
border in May, and set out the plants in July; the green
fruit can be picked off before frost and ripened under
glass. By training the tomato vines on trellises or tying
to stakes, they will increase in productiveness, the
fruit will ripen better, and be of finer quality. To con-
trol blight, spray with Bordeaux, and to control fungi,
spray with Sulfocide.

Wilt Resistant Tomatoes
THE loss caused by tomato wilt is increasing each year.
Wilt is a fungus that lives in the soil and invades the
plant through its roots. When diseased tomato vines
are plowed under they only serve to increase the infection.
In the early stages of the disease the leaves curl; later they
turn yellow, 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.
Marglobe. Wilt Resistant. Very productive second-early
variety. Fruits large, smooth, meaty, red, globular.
It will stand up longer after it becomes flushed than any
other variety of tomato. Highly resistant to wilt and
somewhat resistant to blights.
Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; M lb., $1.50.
Marvana. Wilt Resistant. This variety is commanding
attention on account of its remarkable wilt-resisting
qualities. A first-early red-fruited variety resembling
Earliana in earliness, size, shape of fruits and in type
of foliage but its fruits are usually smoother, more
crimson and ’ slightly less acid. A heavy yielder of
excellent quality . . . .Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; x/i lb., $1.50.
Marvelosa. Wilt Resistant. Very productive second-early
variety. Fruits medium-large, smooth, pink, globular.
The foliage is of a dark green color and very uniform.
Highly resistant to wilt and somewhat resistant to
blights Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; M lb., $1.50.
Norton. Wilt Resistant. Norton was 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 home
garden, for canning and for the late market.

TURNIP
One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill; 1 pound to the acre.
THE soil for Turnips should
be rich and mellow. For
an early crop, sow early in
the spring, in drills about a
foot apart and thin out. For a
general crop, sow from the
first of July to the last of
August, in drills 18 to 20 in-
ches apart, and thin out the
plants to 8 to 10 inches. When
sown broadcast, Turnip Seed
should be mixed with fine soil,
sand or ashes, so as to have the
seed more evenly distributed .
To destroy the fly, which is
very destructive to the Turnip
crop, use “Hammond’s Slug
Shot.” Should the crop be
destroyed, harrow the ground
immediately and sow again.

ASPARAGUS ROOTS
(Ready April 1st.)
DEEP, warm, rich, loamy soil, deeply
and thoroughly stirred, is required
for permanent bed. Use manure
and fertilizers freely. Make furrows 2 or
4 feet apart and 8 to 10 inches deep. Set
the two-year-old roots 18 to 24 inches
apart in the bottom of furrows and cover
lightly at first. Gradually fill in with
soil and old compost. In early spring,
fork or plow the bed shallow and care-
fully, or pulverize the surface by harrow-
ing. Give clean cultivation until fall;
then cover with manure or compost. Sec-
ond season after planting, hill up the
rows, especially for blanched “grass,”
and cut sparingly for use. After that the
bed will give full crops. In the fall, as
soon as the tops are ripe and yellow,
they should be cut and burned.

Selected Slower Seeds
Every year we carefully revise our list of flower seeds, add a number of new sorts and
discard all inferior varieties. Our collection will be found to contain everything
really desirable. Our stock of seeds is of the highest possible quality.
YOU will notice that all of our descriptions of flowers are classified as “annual,” “hardy annual,” “tender annual,” “peren-
nial,” “biennial,” etc.; these descriptions, when properly understood, will tell much about planting.
ANNUALS attain full growth from seed, bloom and die in one season. Sow HARDY ANNUALS outside late in March or
during April, or earlier indoors for transplanting outside. Hardy annuals may also be sown in the fall for earlier
spring blooming. «
HALF HARDY and TENDER ANNUALS should be sown in the house or hot-bed and not be sown or transplanted outside
until the weather is settled and warm.
BIENNIALS are plants that bloom the second year from seed, and then die. Many of these will bloom the first year if
sown early. Sow under same conditions as perennials.
PERENNIALS are plants that bloom the second year from seed and the plant lives and blooms for many years. If sown
in early spring, many perennials will bloom the first year from seed. Tender and half-hardy perennials are best sown
in spring after frost is over. Hardy perennials may be sown in May or June and again in August or September for
next year’s flowers.
TENDER OR GREENHOUSE means the plant will not stand the least frost. All such must be planted late in spring, or
in a greenhouse.
HARD SHELLED SEED, like Canna. and Japanese Morning Glory, Moon Vine, etc., should be soaked in warm water 36
hours before planting.
HOW TO SOW FLOWER SEED: A common mistake in sowing flower, as well as other seeds, is covering too deeply.
The exception to this is the Sweet Pea, which is seldom planted deep enough. As a general rule, cover small seeds
only to the depth of the thickness of the seeds; or, with medium-sized seeds, like Balsam, Zinnias, etc., half an inch
or so is none too much. Such fine seeds as Petunias, Portulacas, etc., need only to be pressed into the soil with a
piece of board. Always press the earth after sowing all flower seeds, because there is danger of their drying up before
the roots can get firm hold of the soil. Seeds of the hardier annuals may be sown where they are to grow; but, as a
rule, it is preferable to transplant, as the plants are generally stronger and stand the drought better. During very
dry weather, and when the seedlings are first set out, they should be watered frequently. Provide some support
for all such plants as require it.
The weeds should be kept down and the ground loosened often, so that the plants will receive the full benefit of the
rains and dews, which they will not if the ground is allowed to become hard and baked.
ABUTILON (Flowering Maple)
ELEGANT flowering plants of strong and easy cultiva-
tion, producing various colored, drooping bell-shaped
flowers. Sown indoors any time before April, they
will produce plants that will flower outdoors the first season
and indoors all winter. Half-hardy Perennial.
1 — Fine Mixed. Of choice varieties and colors. . . 10c pkt.
ACROCLINIUM
2 — Double Mixed. An “Everlasting,” growing about 15
inches high, bearing white or rosy pink flowers, which,
when cut in the bud state, can be dried and used in
winter bouquets. Half-hardy Annual.
A oz., 20c; 10c pkt.
ADLUM I A
(Mountain Fringe, Allegheny Vine, or Climbing
Fumitory)
3 — Cirrhosa. A graceful climber, but, as it resows itself
year after year, it might be considered perennial. The
feathery foliage closely resembles that of the Maiden-
hair Fern. The flowers are tube-shaped, flesh-colored,
and completely cover the plant. For covering trellises,
stumps of trees, etc., it is very desirable. Flowers the
first year from seed. Hardy Biennial 10c pkt.
AGERATUM (Floss Flower)
ONE of the very best bedding plants, being literally a sheet of
bloom from early summer till frost. Unlike many bedding
plants, their flowers are not liable to be spoiled by rain, nor
do the colors fade out. The blue varieties are without doubt the
most satisfactory bedding plants of this color for our trying climate.
Easily raised from seed, which is usually started in a hot-bed or
window and transferred to the open ground in May. Can also
be sown outdoors in May. Half-hardy Annual.
4 — Blue Perfection. This is the darkest colored of all large
flowering Ageratums. Color, deep amethyst-blue; compact
growth; fine bedder. (See cut) XA oz., 50c; 10c pkt.
5 — Blue Star. Of dwarf and even growth; the tiny bushes,
not over 4 to 5 inches high, are densely covered with bright
blue flowers; a fine variety for edging. .3 pkts., 25c; 10c pkt.
AGROSTEMM A
(Rose of Heaven, Mullein Pink)
AN attractive, free-flowering plant of easy culture, producing
flowers on long, slender stems like a single pink. Blooms the
first season. Fine for cutting; 1 to 2 feet. Hardy Perennial.
6 — Mixed Varieties 10c pkt.

A L Y S S U M (Mad-Wort)
PRETTY little plants for beds, vases, baskets, edgings
or rockwork, blooming profusely all summer; useful
also for winter-flowering. Hardy Annual.
7 — Little Gem, or Carpet of Snow. We know of no other
flower which is so particularly well adapted for borders,
ribbons, etc. The plants commence to bloom when
quite small, and will flower all summer until late in the
fall. This habit, with its fragrance, makes it indis-
pensable. Keep the seed pods sheared off the plants
and they will bloom until killed by frost. Sow the
seeds wherever the plants are to remain. If too thick,
thin out. To prevent sowing too thickly, mix the seed
with sand before sowing. (See cut.)

Antirrhinum
ANTIRRHINUM
ANTIRRHINUMS or Snapdragons are one of the best
cut flowers which can readily be grown from seed.
They succeed best in a rather light soil, in a sunny
position. For early flowering, sow in fall, protecting the
plants with a covering of leaves through the winter. Sown
in spring, they bloom by mid-summer, and if the flowers
are cut freely the flowering is continuous till fall. If in-
tended for winter flowering in the house, cut them well
back in September. The Snapdragon, like most perennials
and biennials which bloom the first year, is treated like an
annual and sown every year. Half-hardy Perennial. (See

ASTERS
ASTERS are one of the most important summer and autumn
flowers, and receive special care at our hands. Our list
comprises only such sorts as can be planted with perfect
confidence that nothing better is procurable, no matter at what
price or from what source.
The early sorts begin blooming in July, followed by the
mid-season kinds, which flower during August; then the late-
flowering varieties, which are at their best through September.
It is quite easy, therefore, with a little care in the selec-
tion of the varieties, to have Asters in flower from the first
days in July until hard frost.
Asters will thrive in any good soil, prepared in the same
way as you would for a crop of vegetables, but it is well to
remember that any extra care taken in the preparation of the
soil is repaid by finer plants, larger blooms, with longer stems
and more profuse flowering. They should have an open,
sunny position, and prefer a good, heavy loamy soil, enriched
with a liberal auantity of thoroughly rotted manure, and the
addition of wood ashes or air-slaked lime, and we do not advise growing them on the same ground two years in succession.
Sow either in the open ground in May, or in March or fApril sow in cold frame, spent hotbed, or pots or boxes in the
house, covering the seed with about one-fourth inch of good soil. When the plants are strong enough transplant about 18
inches apart in deeply dug well-prepared beds. Half-hardy Annual.
This is the finest mixture of Asters in existence, and the most critical lovers of this flower
‘ ‘Pro mipr1 ’ iVTiiftiirp will be astonished at the wide range of colors and varieties given in this strain.

inches across. The form of the flowers,
together with the length of the stems,
places them at the head of Asters for

two to three weeks after the average
type, usually being at their best dur-
ing September.

NIGELL A
(Love in a Mist, or Devil in the Bush)
Lovely variety giving an abundance of long-
stemmed flowers, prettily set in slender elegant
foliage. The plants are extremely hardy, and an
autumn sowing produces the best specimens for
flowering in the following summer. Height, 18
inches. Hardy Annual.
307 — Finest Mixed 10c pkt.
PANSY
PANSY seed has always been a leading specialty
with us. Seed germinates best while soil is still
cool and moist. Would advise sowing in shal-
low drills in seed-bed early in spring when the trees
are starting out in leaf, and again in September
when the weather becomes cool. Plants from the
spring-sown seed flower with great freedom through-
out spring, summer and fall, while the stocky young
plants grown in fall and winter produce the largest
and finest flowers early the following spring. Take
care of the weakest looking seedlings, as they usually
give the finest flowers. Half-hardy Perennial.

McCullough s select sweet peas
It Would be an Easy Matter for Us to Greatly Extend Our List, but We Think it Best to
Confine Our Offers to Such Sorts as are Really First-Class
HOW TO GROW SWEET PEAS. — The principal essential for the best success is a cool, deep, moist soil and a sunny
situation. The ground should be prepared deep and rich. Fall preparation, where possible, is preferable, but if done
in the spring, use no green manure. Bone meal is good if old rotted manure can not be obtained. ' Sow early, as Sweet
Peas need the cold, moist spring ground to make the root growth. In the latitude of Cincinnati, February is not too early.
In the South, sow in the fall. Sow the seed in deep furrows, the bottom of which must be at least 6 inches below the
level of the soil; this is to guard against a summer drought. Cover the seeds only one inch, after which the furrow is still
five inches deep. When the plants are 2 to 3 inches high, thin out to 2 inches apart and fill in another inch or so of soil
around the plants, always leaving a portion of the plant above the surface; do this at intervals until the furrow is nearly
full; it should always remain a little hollow to hold the rains, and to allow water to be applied by the bucketful when
necessary.
During dry weather they should be watered thoroughly and frequently and given an application of liquid manure
once a week. A mulch of hay or ratings from the lawn will be found beneficial during hot weather. The flowers should
be picked as often as possible, and all withered blooms should be removed, to prevent the plants from running to seed, which
would stop them from blooming.
Early Flowering Spencer Varieties
NOTHING within recent years can approach in importance the
introduction of the “Spencer” Sweet Peas. They are distin-
guished from the standard sorts by the enormous flowers with
crinkled and wavy petals, and also from the fact that they usually
bear four blossoms on a long stout stem.
In presenting the following varieties of Spencer Sweet Peas, we
wish to emphasize the fact that these are the “Early Flowering Spencers”
and are separate and distinct from the late or standard Spencer types,
as they continue blooming two or three weeks longer than the standard
Spencer varieties.

laboratory, and tagged to comply with state seed laws, although as tests are subject to some variation they can not be
guaranteed.
The J. M. McCullough's Sons Company has always recognized the importance of co-operation with all government
agencies for the improvement of agriculture and were among the first seed houses in the United States to establish a testing
laboratory which has been in constant operation for over sixteen years.
We have two or three different grades of Grass Seeds, especially of the kinds most in demand, such as Clovers,
Timothy, Blue Grass, Red Top, Orchard Grass, etc. Will quote lowest market prices on application.
For best results, we advise the use of our highest brands. Our “BUCKEYE BRAND” signifies standard No. 1
quality. Our “XXXX BRAND” signifies extra fancy quality. Our Buckeye Brand is the average standard Number One
quality produced on the crop. Our XXXX Brand is extra fancy, representing the very best obtainable and as seed of this
standard is sometimes only available in small quantities, our XXXX Brand sells at somewhat higher price than standard
Number One. We are the largest buyers in this section of high-grade Seeds and will always pay the highest market price.
Submit samples and name quantity to offer.
Our prices include delivery to freight or express depots here, purchaser paying transportation charges. We make no

other grades.
ORCHARD GRASS
(Dactylis Glomerata)
ROUGH Cocksfoot. Perennial. Height, 3 feet. It blos-
soms about the same time as Red Clover, making it,
on that account, a desirable mixture with that plant.
It is exceedingly palatable to stock of all kinds, and its
powers of enduring the cropping of cattle commend it as
one of the very best pastime grasses. Sow 25 to 35 lbs.
to the acre. (14 lbs. per bushel.) Market price.
RED TOP GRASS
(Agrostis Palustris or Alba)
HERD’S Grass, Quick Grass. Perennial. Height, 1 to 2
feet. Valuable either for lawn mixtures, mixing in
hay, or permanent pasture grasses; succeeds almost
everywhere, but reaches its highest state of perfection in a
moist, rich soil, in which it attains a height of 2 to 2 Yi feet.
Fancy Red Top Pure Seed.
Weight, about 30 lbs. per bushel. Sow 10 to 12 lbs.
per acre for Hay and Pasture. For Putting Greens, sow
5 lbs. to 1,000 square feet. For Fairways, sow 50 to 75
lbs. per acre.
Per lb., 45c; 10 lbs., $4.25; per 100 lbs., $35.00.
Meadow Fescue (Festuca Pratensis)
(Erroneously called English Blue Grass).
HIGHLY valuable for permanent grass land. Does not,
however, attain its full productive power till the
second or third year. Relished by live stock, both in
hay and permanent pasture and is one of the most desirable
grasses for general culture. Sow 30 to 40 lbs. to the acre.
(24 lbs. per bushel.) This is the true Evergreen Grass
of the South. Price on application.
Perennial or English Rye Grass
(Lolium Perenne)
IMPORTED English Blue Grass. Height, 15 to 24 inches.
Considered invaluable for permanent pastures. It pro-
duces an abundance of remarkably fine foliage, tillers
out close to the ground and soon forms a compact sward.
After being cut it grows up in a very short time and re-
mains bright and green throughout the season, consequently
is well adapted for lawn mixtures. Valuable for shady
places. Also a good variety for hay, if cut when in blos-
som, as it is then most nutritious. Sow, if alone, 50 to
60 lbs. per acre, (24 lbs. per bushel).
Per lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.25; 100 lbs., $18.00.
NOTE — Rye Grass production is increasing in America
and supplies are this season drawn from the United States.
American Rye Grass contains 30 to 50% Italian Rye Grass.

Per lb., $1.25; 5 lbs., $6.00; 10 lbs., $11.75.
NOTE — Pure Creeping Bent turf cannot be secured
from German Bent Seed, but may be produced from the
American Creeping Bent (Seaside Bent) seed, or from
planting Creeping Bent Stolons. Two popular strains of
Creeping Bent (Washington and Metropolitan) are produced
from stolons only.
Information and prices of Stolons on request.
American Creeping Bent, (Seaside Bent)
(Agrostis Maritima)
A pure strain of Creeping Bent grown in the United
States. Should produce a green equal to one planted
from stolons at a fraction of the cost. Sow 3 to 5 lbs. to
1000 square feet. . 1 lb., $2.50; 3 lbs., $7.25; 5 lbs., $11.50.
Awnless Brome Grass (Bromus inermis)
A HARDY perennial, standing extremes of heat, cold
and drought. In the south it remains green all winter.
It will grow well on all kinds of soil. The seed should
be sown as early in the spring as the ground can be worked.

McCULLOUGH’S MIXED GRASSES For Meadows and Pastures
AFTER years of experimenting we have aided largely in establishing the fact that a thicker and more prolonged growth
is produced by a mixture of several varieties than when only one or two are used. There are always certain Grasses
that are especially adapted to certain kinds of soils, and these are so carefully combined in our mixtures that in our
Mixture for Permanent Pastures, grasses will be found that mature at intervals during the season, thereby insuring
continuous pasturage, while our Mixture for Permanent Meadow will furnish excellent hay as well as late pasturage.
We are prepared to furnish seeds adapted to all soils and all situations, and for all purposes, composed of Grasses
for light, medium or heavy soils; by light soil we mean that which is more or less of a sandy or gravelly nature; the heavy,
clay and heavy loams; while the medium is an intermediate between these two. A fight, wet soil, with respect to the
Grasses suited to it, may be considered same as to the heavy soils, and a dry, heavy soil, more as to light soils.
Our best mixture is made entirely with our choice recleaned seeds, while in our second quality we use the same
seeds, but without as thoroughly recleaning and quality will be equal to seed usually to be had on the market. Quantity
to be used per acre, 25 to 30 pounds, and half this quantity for renovating. In ordering, always state the soil and position
on which you wish to use it and whether you wish Sweet Clover included in mixture.

Alfalfa, or Lucerne (Medicago Sativa)
ALFALFA is one of the most profitable crops the
dairyman or stock farmer can raise, due to the
high yield of palatable hay which contains a large
percentage of protein. Alfalfa as grown in the United
States yields more than twice the digestable nutri-
ments that Red Clover does and more than three times
the digestable protein to the acre. Alfalfa and corn
make a perfectly balanced ration. Many farmers
are using it in their rotation to take the place of Red
Clover. This practice is satisfactory where the
soil contains a large supply of lime and organic matter
and the seed has been inoculated, or the land has
been in Alfalfa previously.
Alfalfa is best adapted to steep limestone hill-
sides and gravelly river bottoms, where the water can get
away from the roots. Will grow on acid soils provid-
ing the water is drained off and sufficient lime is added
to correct the acidity.
Seeding Alfalfa
The ground should be plowed in late fall and
worked in spring once or twice to kill the weeds. If
the land is acid it should be limed at the rate of three
tons ground limestone to the acre. With a Wheat drill sow
15 to 20 lbs. of inoculated Alfalfa seed to the acre any time
between April 15th and May 10th. Apply 400 lbs. of a good
high grade fertilizer, carrying a small per cent of ammonia
and high per cent of phosphorus to the acre. If land is to be
seeded following early potatoes, work ground up with disc
and drag down. Sow seed the same as in spring. Where
land is being seeded to Alfalfa for the first time it will pay
to inoculate the seed with Nitragin for Alfalfa. The bacteria
will be present and if there is not enough available nitrogen
present they will gather the nitrogen from the air and supply
your young plants, thus insuring a good stand.
We handle only seed which to the best of our
belief is adapted to this section. We do not handle
Southwestern seed.
Grimm Alfalfa
This variety of Alfalfa is being raised all over the
United States. It seems to be much hardier than common
Alfalfa, partly due to its root system, which is somewhat
variable, enabling it to withstand freezing and thawing
weather, droughts and other hardships which the common
alfalfa will not endure.
Genuine Ontario Grimm from fields of the original
Lyman Grimm strain is giving fully as good satisfaction
and is lower in price than North-Western seed.
We handle both North-Western and Ontario Grimm
Alfalfa.
To secure a stand the following re-
quirements are essential — good seed
bed, limestone soil, or addition of 3
tons of fine ground limestone per acre,
inoculation of seed, and plenty of
available plant food. Sow in the
spring or fall of year at the rate
of 10 to 15 lbs. per acre. Prices on application.
Canadian Variegated Alfalfa
This is considered by many to be fully as hardy as Grimm
and is of the Grimm type.
We recommend it very highly and it can be obtained
at a small advance in price over common Alfalfa.
In Ohio, Grimm or Canadian Variegated Alfalfa is
the best insurance against winter killing and thinning
out of stands.
Where winter killing is not a factor, common Alfalfa
from Utah and sections north gives satisfaction.
A long series of tests shows no difference in yields
of the different varieties.
Write for special literature on Canadian Variegated
and Ontario Grimm Alfalfa.
View of a Field of Alfalfa Clover
Crimson, or Scarlet Clover
(Trifolium Incarnatum)
Crimson, Scarlet or Carnation Clover
THIS Clover is grown in Italy, France, Great Britain
and other European countries. Was introduced into
this country in 1822 and has proved especially adapted
to the light sandy soils of the Eastern and Southern parts
of the United States. Largely used as a cover crop in
orchards.
Crimson Clover should be seeded shallow in August on
a moist, reasonably fertile, well drained, well settled seed
bed. Inoculation is essential when seeding the first time.
Crimson Clover makes a good cover crop to be sowed
on potato fields after the potatoes are dug. It makes a
good growth in the fall and early spring and may be plowed
under for potatoes the following spring.
It may be seeded alone following any farm crop which
can be removed from the land by early summer, so that
seed can be sown in late summer or very early fall. It may
also be seeded for hay in mixture with grain such as Wheat,
Rye, Barley, or Winter Oats, which are ready to cut for
hay at about the same time as the Clover the following
spring. Apply seed at the rate of 12 to 15 lbs. per acre.
Prices on application.
White or Dutch Clover
THIS variety thrives on nearly all soils; is a low close-
growing Clover and on account of its earliness and
hardiness should be used in mixtures for permanent
pastures. Is very hardy, spreads rapidly, acts as a binder,
and when mixed with other grasses for lawn purposes is
very desirable. Is also excellent for bee food. Sow 6 to 8
lbs. per acre Per lb., 70c; 10 lbs., $6.50.
Alsike or Swedish Glover ^ybVfiduuiS
This variety is perennial and on account of its fibrous
root system does not winter-kill. Will grow well on poor
soil, and will do better on moist land than any other va-
riety of Clover. It is a valuable acquisition to the forage
plants of this country and is highly esteemed as pasturage
for bees. Sow 6 to 8 lbs. per acre. Market price.
Japan Clover (Lespedeza Striata)
THIS Clover is especially adapted for the South because
it occupies the same position in pastime mixtures in
the South that White Clover does in the North. Will
thrive on poor land, and as it grows thickly, soon fur-
nishes abundant pasturage. Good stands have been secured
by simply sowing the seed broadcast during late winter or
early spring at the rate of 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. This Clover
is a half-hardy annqal without any objectionable root
system. Sow 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. (25 lbs. per bushel.)
Per lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.25.
For larger quantities — write for Special Prices.

McCullough’s high-grade clover seed
Bokhara or Sweet Clover
SWEET CLOVER is a biennial plant, which closely resembles Alfalfa. It requires practically the same soil treatment
as Alfalfa, but will grow under a wider variation of soil conditions than Alfalfa. Sweet Clover produces 150 to 250 lbs.
of Nitragin to the acre. 3 to 6 tons of Hay or Organic Matter to the acre and is equal to 20 tons of Manure to the acre.
Three things are essential — lime, inoculation and scarified seed. If the land has raised Alfalfa previously, then the addition
of lime may not be necessary. Inoculation with Nitragin tends to insure a stand, by securing nitrogen for the young plant
at a time when it needs it the most. Scarified seed is seed that has been so treated as to scratch or crack the hard coating
and make it easy for moisture to penetrate and hasten germination, thus insuring a stand. Sweet Clover gathers nitrogen
from the air and stores it up in the soil for the use of future crops.
Yellow Flowered. (Melilotus Officinalis.) Is a biennial producing
seed the second year, and will reseed itself if left undisturbed.
It is the variety which is best adapted for hay, as it blossoms three
weeks earlier than the White Sweet Clover, has a finer stem and
does not grow so tall. It makes excellent pasture where 10 to
15 lbs. of seed is mixed with 6 lbs. of Timothy sowed in Wheat or
Rye, then pastured in the fall. The following spring the Sweet
Clover will be three weeks earlier than any other grass, thus
making a fine early pasture. When sowing unhulled seed in the
fall with wheat for hay, apply 10 to 15 lbs. per acre. Do not sow
unhulled seed in the spring and expect results the same year.
Yellow Flowered, Unhulled Seed. Prices on application.
Yellow Flowered, Hulled Seed, Scarified. Prices on application.
White Flowered. (Melilotus Alba.) Is a biennial producing seed
the second year, and will reseed itself if left undisturbed. The
White Sweet Clover is much coarser than the yellow, and is especial-
ly well adapted for soiling purposes. Many farmers are taking
advantage of this crop in the bottoms where annual flooding pre-
vents the use of Red Clover in a crop rotation, corn being planted
year after year with an occasional crop of wheat. Scarified
seed which has been inoculated is sown at the rate of
15 lbs. per acre in the corn at the last cultivation. This
makes a growth of 10 to 15 inches by the time the
com is husked off of the stalk in the fall, and is plowed
under late the following spring for corn.
It is being widely used where farmers wish to
shorten their crop rotation and secure a crop of hay.
To do this, sow scarified seed which has been inocu-
lated with Nitragin in the Wheat, from the middle
of April to the 1st of May, at the rate of 15 lbs. per
acre. The following September as much as one ton
of hay per acre may be cut from this land and the next
May the second growth may be turned under for com.
The Sweet Clover, being young and tender, rots early
and forms a mulch which holds the water, thus making
ideal conditions for a good com crop. Farmers can
increase their yield of com from one-third to one-half
by using Sweet Clover as a green manure crop.
White Flowered, Unhulled Seed. Prices on application.
White Flowered, Hulled Seed, Scarified.
Prices on application.
Unhulled Seed of both varieties is very slow to germinate.
Unhulled Seed (30 lbs. per bushel.) Hulled Seed (60
lbs. per bushel.)
NOTE: — We have installed scarifying machinery
and our Hulled Sweet Clover is all scarified, which in-
creases the germination 40 to 50 per cent.
Hubam Clover (Annual White Sweet Clover)
The advantage of Hubam over other clovers is its
remarkable vigor and its value as a hay, green manure
and pasture crop.
It also affords splendid pasturage for bees, as it blos-
soms early and continues in blossom till the first frosts.
By its use a full year is saved in the farm rotation.
It will grow on a wide variation of soils and under
various climatic conditions, but thrives best in limestone
soils that are not acid.
Hubam will not benefit the soil upon which it grows
without inoculation, except on soil that has previously
grown Alfalfa or Sweet Clover.
Hubam may be sown in our latitude about the first
of April.
If planted in drills 18 to 30 inches apart, use 2 to 4
pounds per acre. If sown broadcast, use 12 to 14 pounds
per acre. May be sown in grain, but makes a better yield
when sown alone.
Never sow unscarified Hubam Seed, as the germina-
tion is low, when scarified will germinate as high as 90%.
All of our Hubam Seed is scarified, quality is genuine
and crop of 1926.
Write for special prices and descriptive circular giving
more detailed information.

Tennessee, or Southern German Millet
Far superior to Western grown. Will grow in any climate or soil, and make a large
yield of most nutritious feed. Sow not less than 50 lbs. per acre, at any time between
May 1st and June 15th. Cover with a single stroke of a fight harrow, or roll without harrow-
ing, or it may be sown with a wheat drill, barely covering the seed. Cut the crop while
in bloom, before the seed hardens. We have secured a full supply of Tennessee, or Southern
German Millet (cultivated seed), which we know will give the best satisfaction. Sow one
bushel per acre (50 lbs. per bushel). Write for Special Quotations.
Northern or Western German Millet
Does not yield so much hay nor so good hay as the Southern German Seed. Sow
about a bushel to the acre. (50 lbs. per bushel.) Write for Special Quotations.
Hungarian Millet (Grass)
A valuable forage plant of the Millet family, but not so coarse. Sown and cultivated
same as Millet. Quite a favorite with stockmen. It is of fine growth, and makes an ex-
cellent hay. Sow 1 bushel per acre. (50 lbs. per bushel.) Write for prices.
Japanese Barnyard Millet
Sometimes called Billion Dollar Grass. It has proven an enormous yielder in all sec-
tions of the United States, producing hay and fodder of most excellent quality and growing
on any soil. It grows to a height of 6 to 8 feet and produces from 12 to 30 tons per acre.
Cattle and horses eat it greedily and fatten rapidly. It is a remarkable stooler and should
not be sown very thickly — 15 pounds per acre broadcast being sufficient. In drills 3 pounds
per acre. (35 pounds per bushel.) Market price.
Hog Millet
Known also as Broom Com Millet. The name Hog
Millet has been applied to emphasize the use to which it is
now being put as a valuable food for hogs; also good food
for birds and poultry. Sow one bushel per acre. (50 lbs.
per bushel.)
Kafir-Corn
A Great Fodder Crop. The Finest Grain for Poultry
and Pigeons.
White Kafir-Corn. The stalks keep green, making ex-
cellent fodder. The seed heads form at the top of
each stalk, and as soon as these show the grain well,
the joints next below the top send up shoots, which
yield the second seed heads. For grain sow in rows 3
feet apart; 5 lbs. of seed to the acre. For fodder sow
5 to 15 lbs., either broadcast or in drills. (50 lbs.
per bushel.) Price on application.
Broom Corn
Improved Evergreen. The best variety for general cul-
tivation on account of the color and quality of brush.
Ripens early; about 8 to 10 feet high; brush of good
length, fine and straight, and always of green appear-
ance when ripe. Plant 30 to 35 lbs. to the acre.
Per lb., 20c; 10 lbs., $1.50.
Barley
Barley needs a rich land, more sandy and lighter than
that adapted to Wheat, and can be grown farther North
than any other grain. It should be cut before fully ripe
(unless intended for seed), as it is then better quality and
less liable to shell. Sow 1 Yi to 2 bushels if drilled; 2 to
2 y<i bushels broadcast. (48 lbs. per bushel.)
Spring Barley. Market price.
Beardless Barley. Market price.
Buckwheat
In this locality it is sown anywhere from June 1st to
July 15th; one bushel of 50 lbs., broadcast, to the acre.
It makes a very fine quality of flour; is largely used for
poultry food and frequently yields as much as 80 bushels
to the acre. (50 lbs. per bushel.)
Japanese. This superior variety is earlier, more prolific
and yields double the weight per acre of other sorts.
The grains are nearly twice as large as those of Silver
Hull, and of fine color. Market price.
Silver Hull. The grain is of light gray color. Market price.
Sudan Grass (Andropogon Sorghum)
A sweet heavy-yielding grass, foliage and seed re-
sembles Johnson Grass, but is an annual. Root system
is like Oats. Seeds from 300 to 400 pounds per acre from
Florida to Montana. Absolutely drought-proof. Grows
6 to 10 feet high. Stems erect, unbranched, very leafy
and three to four cuttings, 4 XA to 6H tons per acre of
dry, sweet hay that cattle prefer to Cow Pea Hay. Ripe
for hay cutting in 70 days, and cut every 30 days follow-
ing. Plant from March to July in 18 to 30 inch rows, 5
pounds to acre, or broadcast 10 pounds. Each seed stools
wonderfully — 20 to 40 stools per seed.
NOTE: — On account of the similarity of this seed to
Johnson Grass Seed, we have gone to a great deal of trouble
and expense to procure seed that we have every reason to
believe is free from this seed.
There are all kinds of Sudan Grass Seed on the mar-
ket, and on this account you should be doubly careful.
Buy your seed from a reputable house at a reasonable price.

Sorghum or Sugar Cane
Plant in drills % to 1 bushel; broadcast, 1 to 1 M
bushels to the acre. Sorghum is being used extensively as a
green food for cattle, horses and mules. (50 lbs. per bushel.)
Early Orange Cane. A strong grower; much more juicy
than any other variety. The stalk is heavier and a
little later than the Amber. Write for prices.
Early Amber Cane. This popular and well-known variety
is the earliest and makes the finest quality of both
sugar and syrup. Write for prices.
Speltz or Emmer
This grain resembles wheat, but is a much larger yielder,
producing frequently as high as 80 bushels of grain per
acre, and that on the poorest land. The hay, if cut green
is desirable for horse or cattle feed, while the straw after
thrashing, is equal to the best wheat straw.
The heads are somewhat similar to two-rowed barley.
For fattening cattle, poultry, horses, sheep, pigs, etc., it
is claimed to be ahead of any other grain. Cultivation
similar to wheat or oats. Sow at the rate of 50 to 60 lbs.
per acre. Price on application.

SOY, OR SOJA BEANS
The Great Land Renovator
The King of Summer Forage Crops
THIS very valuable farm plant enriches the ground in which it is planted
by the free nitrogen gathered from the air and which is deposited in
the ground by the roots, leaving it in ideal condition and rich in nitrogen
for the next crop. Fodder is relished in either green or dry form by cattle
and dairy cows.
The Soy or Soja Bean is an annual. Its character or growth resembles
ordinary field beans. During the past few years the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture and State Experiment Stations have tested many varieties
of Soy Beans and pronounce them forage and grain plants of great promise.
They are grown chiefly for hay, grain, silage, soiling, pasture and as a soil
renovator; are not hard to grow, not exacting to the character of soil and a
valuable plant for forage; some claim they have a higher protein content
than Alfalfa. These beans should not be seeded until all danger of frost is
past and the ground is thoroughly warmed, and are usually sown from the
middle of May until July. It is best to plant Beans only about one or two
inches deep, or as shallow as moisture supply will permit, for the forming of
a crust majr prevent the beans from growing. If grown for seed or silage
in drills 24 to 30 inches apart, sow about 3 pecks per acre. If grown for
hay or soiling, the foliage will be of a finer quality and be consumed with
less waste; drilled solid, or sown broadcast, using from 1 H to 2 bushels per
acre. For hay, cut when pod begins to form. For grain, cut just before
beans are ripe, or when pods are beginning to take on a brownish or black ap-
pearance. For silage, cut as near maturing as possible without dropping
the leaves. Will Quote Prices on Application.
Descriptions of the SOY or SOJA BEANS that we
can furnish.
Southern Grown
Mammoth Yellow. One of the oldest and best known
varieties, producing a large hay crop and giving good
satisfaction at all times. A fine fertilizer when plowed
under.
Northern Grown
Ito San. One of the earliest yellow seeded varieties, being
10 to 15 days earlier than the Medium Green; will
mature seed in this section. Fine if put in com to
hog down or grown separately in solid blocks for seed.
Manchu. One of the very highest seed yielding beans.
Analysis of this seed almost invariably shows it to be
at the top or very near the top in oil content. It
matures as far as north-western Minnesota. Has been
planted as late as July in central Illinois and has ma-
tured and made seed. One of the good points of
Manchu is that, although it is early, it is high yielding.
These two qualities usually do not go together. In
handling Soy Beans in the central west, any variety
that matures in time to be taken off the ground early
enough so wheat can be. planted, is a good variety.
Manchu certainly is this.'
Midwest or Hollybrook. These two strains are now in-
cluded in the general term “Midwest”. The Midwest
runs very high in oil content and the bean is one of the
most popular grown and will continue to be until
some of the 'other varieties, such as Manchu, become
better known.
A. K. or Early Yellow. A. K. has come to mean “All-
Kinds,” A. K. is one of the very best varieties and
matures in between Ito San and Midwest. As a hay
bean or oil bean, or bean to put in com to hog down,
it is among the best.
Wilson Black. Plants slender, erect, maturing in 120 to
130 days. Seeds black. One of the best for hay.
Ebony Black. Similar to Wilson Black but shorter in
growth.
Vetch or Tares
THIS has been used in Europe for many years as a stock
food and green manuring or cover crop. It fertilizes
the ground without further trouble or cost, on account
of the free nitrogen it gathers from the air. It produces
a peculiar vine plant with very narrow foliage and elongated
flowers of pinkish white in clusters. The height when
supported is frequently 4 feet.
Sand, Hairy, or Winter Vetch. (Vicia Villosa.) Our
stock of this is the tme type, which will absolutely live
throughout the winter, and buyers should beware when
buying that they procure the right article, which is a
small, round, black seed; this is far superior to Crim-
son Clover, as it never winter-kills. Sow from August
1st to October 1st, broadcast, 1 to 1 14 bushels per
acre, to which we suggest adding half a bushel of
winter rye or wheat. In the spring it can be plowed
in as green manure, or when in flower cut for hay.
All stock relish it keenly. (60 lbs. per bushel.) Write
the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture for Farmers Bulletin
No. 515 on Vetches. Market Price.
COW PEAS
The Great Soil Improver — Makes Poor Land
Rich — Makes Good Land More Productive.
COW PEAS make one of the largest yielding and most
nutritious forage crops grown. There is also no surer
or cheaper means of improving and increasing the
productiveness of your soils than by sowing the Cow Peas.
There is a wide difference between Cow Peas and
Canadian Peas. Bear in mind that the Southern Cow
Peas belong to the Bean family, therefore must not be
sown until the ground is thoroughly warm and all danger
from frost is past. The value as a fertilizeing crop exceeds
that of clover, for, in addition to being a larger nitrogen
gatherer than the clover, they draw from the subsoil to the
surface large amounts of potash and phosphoric acid, thus
putting the soil in most excellent condition for following
crops. The feeding value of Cow Peas is very high, being
considerably above that of Red Clover. The yield of green
vines per acre runs ordinarily from 5 to 15 tons.
Sow 1 34 to 1 M bushels per acre, on land thoroughly
pulverized and disc or plow with a cultivator or double
shovel plow. If wanted for hay, cut when peas are form-
ing; cure as clover. If peas are for fertilizer, sow same
quantity after same preparation as for hay; turn under
when peas are in bloom. If farmers will first roll and
disc peas they will turn under much easier and be more
satisfactory. For a fertilizer, expecially to be followed by
wheat or com, they are simply the best.
Will Quote Prices on Application. All orders ac-
companied with the money will be filled at the lowest market
price, upon receipt.
Whip-Poor-Will. An early variety, tall, upright, medium
yield of vines, large yield of peas, for which they are
particularly grown. Highly recommended for “hog-
ging down.”
Clay. The leading variety in the South. Large yield of
vines and peas, but require longer season to mature
than the former-named varieties.
New Era. Seed small, dun colored; earlier than Whip-
Poor-Will, but more trailing in habit. A great favorite
in many places.
Mixed Cow Peas. These are splendidly adapted for those
who merely wish same for feeding purposes, and being
mixed, we are able to offer them at a lower price.
Canada Field Peas
THESE are sown with oats about April 1st at the rate
of 1 34 bushel of Peas and 1 34 bushel of Oats to the
acre either drilled or broadcast. The oats are intended
as a support for the peas. They are cut just after the peas
flower and fed green; sheep, hogs and cattle relish them
keenly. They may be sown successively up to July if one
has the available land. Peas may also be sown alone at
the rate of 3 bushels per acre and furnish excellent pea
hay. For plowing under as green manure, they add a vast
amount of nitrogen to the soil, and succeeding crops, par-
ticularly wheat, are wonderfully bene-
fited. The dried peas are extensively
fed to pigeons, while when ground
as meal is an excellent addition
to the regular soft food of cows,
sheep and horses. (60 lbs. per bushel.)
Per lb., 15c; 10 lbs., 85c;

FARM, FIELD, FORAGE AND SILO SEEDS— Continued
Dwarf Essex Rape
A FORAGE plant of highest value. It can be sown
in April for an early crop, and for fall crop in July,
August and September, and still later further South,
in a few weeks from the time of sowing, sheep, hogs
or cattle can be turned on it. Under favorable condi-
tions Rape is ready for pasturing sheep or cattle within
six weeks from time of sowing, and on an average one
acre will carry 12 to 15 sheep six weeks to two months.
When on the Rape they should at all times have access
to salt. Pigs and cattle are also very fond of it. Rape
has a high feeding value. It is excellent for fattening
sheep and swine, produces an abundant flow of milk in
cows, and is the ideal pasture for weaning lambs. Its
value as sheep pasture has been demonstrated in every
State in the Union, and it is recommended by authorities
everywhere as of superior value for hogs, furnishing the
finest pasturage, or can be fed after cutting. Rape has
strong-growing roots which penetrate the ground for a
considerable depth. A rich, loamy soil is preferable,
but it does well on sandy or stiff clays, and is excellent
for sowing after a crop of wheat has been taken off, or
when corn has been worked the last time. The plant
is a rank grower and should have heavy manuring.
Sow the seed by the end of June and the crop can be ready
to feed at a season when it is most needed. It does well
sown with oats. After oats are cut, the Rape grows rapidly.
If the soil is rich and clean, sow broadcast; if not so clean,
sow in drills and cultivate as for corn. When sown broad-
cast, use five to six pounds, and if in drills, two to three
pounds to the acre .Per lb., 20c; 10 lbs., $1.20.

White Navy Beans
PLANTED in June or July, these usually make a very
profitable crop to grow as shelled white beans for market.
Plant in rows three feet apart, dropping two or three
beans together a foot apart in the rows. Cultivate early,
as they grow rapidly, but do not work them while the
dew is on the foliage. (60 lbs., per bushel.) Special price

Northern Grown Seed
OUR strains of Corn are not the common kinds usually
found in abundance on the market; we pay special
attention to the selecting of stocks in all lines of farm
seeds. This is particularly true of Field Com where re-
selection means the limit of crops with little or no increase
in cost. It is amazing to realize that where the old unse-
lected seed is used the i average crop per acre is only half,
compared to the more intelligent selection of strains. Our
stock is selected for size of ear and fodder, which means a
considerable increase in production. (56 lbs. per bushel.)

BEGONIAS,
TUBEROUS-ROOTED
THEY are now used extensively for outdoor planting. Give
them a partially shaded position in a light soil and well-drained
location, and they will give more bloom than any other plant
which will grow in such a place. A soil that will grow it to perfec-
tion is turfy matter scraped from the bottom of old sod — one part,
and one part sand. Mix these well together, and you have a com-
post that is friable, porous, and well adapted to any plants having
fine, fibrous roots. It is more satisfactory to apply plant-food when
needed, and in such quantities as seem to be required, than to
make the soil very rich from the start. Water very cautiously until
active growth begins, then increase the amount. But at no time
during its existence will the plant require more than enough to
make — and keep the soil moist all through. Good drainage should
be provided to guard against over-watering.

DAHLIAS
THE Dahlia is one of the most important Summer and Autumn flowers. Commencing to flower in July, they are a per-
fect blaze of bloom until stopped by frost. Especially fine for cut flowers. One of the most important points in the
cultivation of the Dahlia is to select a well-drained position where they will receive the full benefit of the sun during
the greater part of the day. As to soil, they are not at all particular, except that in the case of a stiff clay some loose ma-
terial should be added, such as coarse sand, old mortar, or anything which will make the soil loose and friable. The soil must
be deeply dug, if possible to a depth of two spades, and a liberal amount of suitable plant food incorporated. For this noth-
ing is more satisfactory than well-decayed stable
manure, but where this can not be conveniently
procured, pure bone meal, sheep manure, or any
chemical fertilizer rich in ammonia and phosphoric
acid will answer as a substitute.
The planting of dormant roots in the latitude
of Cincinnati may be done at any time between
April 25th and June 15th, the earlier planting being
preferable. Plant the bulbs three inches below the
surface of the ground, laying the bulb on its side.
Do not crowd your plants, but plant at a distance
of not less than two and one-half or three feet, and
as soon as the shoots appear, remove all but two
or three of the strongest, and these, when about a
foot high should be secured to stout stakes.
Keep free from grass and weeds, and water
regularly in dry weather.

HOW TO STORE DAHLIA ROOTS
Cut the stalks to within 6 inches of the ground.
After digging, shake off the earth carefully and trim
off the fine thread roots. Turn the clump upside
down and let it dry out for a few hours in this position,
then bring into cellar and place on the floor for
several days to dry out.
Pack in boxes or barrels putting a layer of
Granulated Peat Moss in the bottom and then
scatter Peat Moss around the roots until fully
covered. Moisten during the winter if necessary.
Show Dahlias
Are perfectly full, rounded, regular form, cupped or

NO CLASS of plants capable of being cultivated out of
doors possesses so many charms. Rich and varied in
color, stately and handsome in habit, profuse in variety,
and of delicious fragrance, they stand out prominently from
all other hardy plants, and no herbaceous border, however
select, should be without a few of its best sorts. With a well
selected collection, Liliums may be had in bloom from June
till October.
Culture. — They should be planted in good, rich, loamy
soil, abundantly mixed with very rotten cow manure. Plant
about four inches deep, and during the winter it is advisable
to cover the surface of the bed with a thin layer of manure,
which will not only afford a slight protection to the bulbs,
but will materially enrich the soil. In spring the manure may
either be removed or dug in between the rows.
Pot Culture. — The best soil to use is a rich loam, with
the addition of one-third well-rotted manure. Select a large
sized pot, say eight or ten inches, so as to allow of deep plant-
ing— a most essential matter where there are upper roots to
protect. Dust a little charcoal about the bulb to keep it fresh,
and cover at least two inches with soil.
After potting, one of the most important things to observe
is the proper placing of the pots containing the bulbs. Like
all other bulbs, to get the best results in flowering, the pots
must be filled with roots before the top starts to grow; and to
do this, they must be placed in some cool place and excluded
from the fight, until, on examination, the roots are found to
Lilium Auratum
be formed around the ball of earth.
Prices on single bulbs are postpaid. By the dozen
or hundred, they will be forwarded at expense of purchaser.
AURATUM. (Golden-banded Lily.) Undoubtedly one
of the finest. Its large, graceful, fragrant flowers are
composed of six petals of a delicate Ivory-white color,
thickly studded with chocolate crimson spots, and
striped through the center with a golden yellow
band; 3 to 5 feet.

LILY OF THE VALLEY
This popular and fragrant flower should receive more atten-
tion than is usually given. Like most other plants it well repays
for being well treated, and if given a liberal top-dressing of well-
rotted stable or sheep manure in fall or early spring, it will show
the effect by increased size and vigor of the flowers. We offer
strong clumps suitable for out door planting.

ROSA HUGONIS
THIS grand new rose was introduced from China by Mr.

it as follows. “It is an upright growing shrub with
slender and spreading branches on which the fragrant
flowers are borne in yard-long sprays of soft yellow, holding
its foliage until late in the fall, when it assumes a dark
purple tint. It makes a symmetrical bush about 6 feet
in height and about the same in diameter, when fully de-
veloped. Perfectly hardy, flowers very early.”
We recommend this variety for hedges between prop-
erties and can supply strong healthy plants at $1.00 each;
$10.00 per dozen; 25 for $20.00; 100 for $75.00.
NOTE: — If planters will use our Prepared Humus in
planting Shrubs, Trees, Roses, Evergreens and
Hardy Perennial Plants, and mulch them with
Granulated Peat Moss, much of the loss due to
imperfect planting will be eliminated. (See pages

FRUIT TREES, SMALL FRUITS, GRAPE VINES, ETC.
Select thrifty young trees in preference to old or very large ones, as the roots are more tender and fibrous. They bear
transplanting better and are more apt to five; they can also be more easily trimmed and shaped to any desired form and
in the course of a few years will usually out-strip the older ones in growth. If not prepared to plant when your stock
arrives, “heel in” by digging a trench deep enough to admit all the roots and setting the trees therein, carefully pack the
earth about the roots, taking up when required. Never leave the roots exposed to the sun and air.

THE benefits arising from the use of Commercial Fer-
tilizers are too well known, and their value too well
established, to require any argument or explanation.
Soils that have been almost entirely exhausted by suc-
cessive croppings have by their use, been restored to their
former fertility; in fact, bring larger crops than when the
soil is new.
SHEEP MANURE— Pulverized
THIS is a natural manure; excellent for mixing with the
soil. Strewn over and dug into the vegetable garden
or placed directly in drills or hills, it promotes a rapid,
steady growth. Especially valuable for lawns, contains
all the constituents for promoting a quick, luxuriant growth
and a rich green color. Use at the rate of from 500 to 600
pounds per acre. For pot plants, mix one part of sheep
manure to six parts of soil. For use in the vegetable garden
spread over the surface and dig in. Being soluble, it readily
makes a safe liquid manure — one pound to five gallons of
water can be used. 5 lbs., 30c; 10 lbs., 50c; 25 lbs., $1.00;
50 lbs., $1.50; 100 lbs., $2.25.
CROWN PREPARED HUMUS
THIS article is prepared from deposits of decayed vege-
table matter. It has been successfully used for years
and has proven to be worthy of extensive use. It is
desirable for greenhouse and flower garden work, also for
lawns and vegetables.
For pot plants, mix about one-third humus with two-
thirds regular potting soil.
For lawns and greenhouse benches, it is applied as a
top dressing from one-half to one inch in depth, which
should be then worked in.
If grass seed is to be sown, then is the time to apply
it, and on golf links it is used in a similar way.
For flower and vegetable garden, apply at the rate of
one-half to two inches deep and fork in well in the soil, or
apply it in trenches the same as you would well rotted
manure.
The prepared Humus is dry, thoroughly pulverized,
odorless and clean to handle and apply and absolutely free
from weed growth.
The following quantities are required to effectively
cover an acre. If applied J4-inch in thickness, thirty tons
{>er acre; if 1-inch thick, sixty tons per acre, and for general
awn work as a top dressing, one hundred pounds will
effectively treat about 800 square feet, or three tons per acre.

all soluble and readily available, and 20% of available
phosphoric acid.
The product is dry and granular. It contains no free
acid. It does not absorb moisture from the air.
Its continued use tends to check the growth of white
clover, goose grass, chick-weed and other noxious northern
putting green weeds.

ARTIFICIAL STABLE MANURE
Make It Yourself — In Your Own Garden
The process consists of making a heap of all garden trash
as it is collected, wetting it thoroughly, and adding to it a
bacterial food — known as ADCO. In the course of three
or four months the heap is converted by the action of the
growing bacteria into a pile of excellent manure.
The recipe or formula is two pounds of ADCO with each
wheelbarrow load of garden waste. Fifty pounds of ADCO
make a ton of well-rotted manure.
To eaah ton of straw, hay, cornstalks or dried leaves, add
150 lbs. of ADCO to make four tons of fresh or three tons
of rotted manure.
Each shipment is accompanied by simple directions
which make any mistake impossible.
ADCO, in 25-lb. bags, each $2.00
(Enough for 12 wheelbarrow loads of garden waste,
making one-half ton of manure.)
ADCO, in special 150-lb. bags, each $10.50
(Enough for a heap 10 ft. x 10 ft. x 6 ft., making about
three tons of manure.)

PLANT STIMULANT TABLET
MAKES A WONDER GARDEN
USE it and you will have the largest crops of fruit and
vegetables, and an abundance of the largest and sweet-
est-scented flowers of intense and vivid colors.
Here is the secret. Science has produced a tablet
that is rich in plant food, containing 11 per cent Nitrogen,
12 per cent Phosphoric Acid and 15 per cent Potash, and
it is odorless and clean. Compare this analysis with that
of any other fertilizer.
It is not applied broadcast, but is put at the feeder
roots of individual plants, so there is no waste and you
feed the plants that need it. It produces no weeds, like
ordinary stable manure, so it economizes in labor.
Each tablet contains highly concentrated, immediately
available plant food, and enables the grower to control
the development of plants. They increase production,
heighten color and improve quality.
Simply insert tablets in the soil near plants. Or, four
tablets dissolved in a gallon of water is the solution used
instead of liquid manure and is less trouble and gives better
results than the objectionable manure water. Make liquid
applications to the soil — not on foliage or stems.
Complete directions with every package.

STADLER’S “SUPERIOR”
PLANT FOOD
FOR Potted House
Plants, Garden,
Shrubs, Lawn and
Trees, contains all the
essential elements of
plant life. For both in-
door and outdoor
plants, it is universal in
its year-round use.
Put a tablespoonful
of Superior Plant Food
in the watering pot
every time you sprinkle
your garden, or a tea-
spoonful in the pitcher
when you water your
house plants — and then
watch results! You
will be amazed at the
new glow of health
and rich beauty your
plants will show al-
most at once.
Prepared Bulb Fibre
Ferns, Palms and other potted foliage plants that are
placed in jardinieres or window boxes, will keep wonderfully
well, if the space between the pots is filled in with moistened
Granulated Peat Moss to the height of the shoulder of the
plant pots. Flower pots are porous, and the capillary
attraction of the roots draws the moisture from the moss
through the pots; furthermore the air is allowed free access
and is always somewhat damp — a natural condition for
most pot plants.
This Granulated Peat Moss or Mull is especially selected
for horticultural purposes. It is finely granulated, of little
weight, and is entirely free from foreign matter. It is
packed in compressed bales, burlaped on all sides, sticked
and wire strapped. When loosened the contents will cover
240 sq. ft. 1 inch deep. It is not sold by weight, because
the weight of the bale is dependent on its moisture content,
which varies according to atmospheric conditions.
A few of the many purposes for which it is used ; Fertilizer
Carrier, Mulching, Cold Frames, Lawns, Improving Soils,
Propagating, Cuttings, Landscape Work, Benches (Green-
house), Golf Courses, Packing, Storing Bulbs, Potting,
Layering, Seed Beds, etc. Send for booklet giving detailed

^Insecticides and fungicides
Liquid Insecticides and Poisons cannot be sent by mail.
THE annual loss of Fruit and Vegetables from ravages of
insects and fungous diseases is not due to poor ma-
terial, but is primarily caused by lack of properly
identifying the insect or fungous disease affecting the crop
and applying the wrong material, or applying the material
after it is too late to control the insect or disease.
In general, the following Insecticides and Fungicides
are made for the purpose of controlling certain insects and
fungous diseases and if the users will follow directions
they should obtain good results.

boxes l lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.00.
★ CYANOGAS (CALCIUM CYANIDE)
(FOR GREENHOUSE FUMIGATION)
ALL fumigation should be started by using one-quarter
ounce of Calcium Cyanide for each 1,000 cubic feet of
space, the correct dosage for a tight house. This dosage
should kill 100 per cent of aphis (“black fly,” “green fly,”
etc.) such as rose aphis and chrysanthemum aphis; 100
per cent of the adult and larvae of the white fly ; all exposed
thrips, and the younger stages of the soft scale.
Fumigation is started at dark by simply scattering
the Calcium Cyanide evenly on the walks, after which
the house is closed for the night. The material is scattered
evenly from end to end of the house on several of the walks,
it being unnecessary to treat every walk.
If it is inconvenient to weigh out the Calcium Cyanide
it may be measured with sufficient accuracy on the basis
of one-half ounce for the average level tablespoonful.
By the following morning the gas will have practically
disappeared; hence it is not necessary to open the venti-
lators and air out the house.
Fumigating Greenhouses with Calcium Cyanide, will
effect a saving to most growers of more than 75 per cent

stood the test of time and practical field experience.
Pyrox is packed in convenient sizes and is all ready for
use by mixing with cold water. 1 lb. jar, 50c; 5 lb. drum,
$2.00; 10 lb. drum, $3.50.

VERY effectual in destroy-
ing Caterpillars, Currant,
Gooseberry and Cabbage
Worms, Mexican Bean Beetle,
Potato, Melon, Squash and
Cucumber Bugs, Rose Slugs,

★Sulfocide
THIS is a powerful Fungicide for many fungous dis-
eases of Apples, Pears, Quinces, Peaches, Plums,
Cherries, Grapes and small fruits.
Is also very effective for Blight on
Potatoes, Beans, Melons and other
vegetables; in fact, anywhere a strong
fungicidal spray is needed.
jgjuoqgE
SULFOCIDE does not deteriorate with age, contains
no lime or oil and is non-poisonous.
A few minutes after being sprayed it decomposes,
leaving a coating of sulphur so fine as to be almost invisible
except where drops accumulate.
Dilute at the rate of 1 gallon in 200 gallons of water;
this is equivalent to 1 quart in 50 gallons of water, 1 cupful
(8 oz.) in 12 gallons of water, 2 oz. in 3 gallons of water,
1 tablespoonful in 3 quarts of water. When a stronger
solution is desirable dilute at the rate of 1 gallon to 150
gallons of water.
When Sulfocide is used alone or in a combination with
nicotine or Cal-arsenate, it is advisable to mix a casein
spreader in the water first; soap may be used in place of the
casein spreader when Sulfocide is used alone or with nicotine
only. When desirable, Scalecide may be combined with
dilute Sulfocide, but no spreader is needed.
If Used With Arsenate of Lead
If used with Arsenate of Lead or in a spray "'tank that
may contain arsenical residue, a good casein spreader may
be mixed in the spray tank first — Sulfocide last. Never
combine with an Arsenate of Lead containing a self spreader.
For Peaches, Plums, Apricots and Stone Fruits
When the buds are ready to open and just show color,
use “Sulfocide”, 1 quart to 50 gallons of water.
1 pt., 70c; 1 qt., $1.00; 1 gallon, $2.75.
Sulphur, Powdered
USED principally to prevent and cure mildew on Roses
and Plants in greenhouses. 1 lb., 15c; 2 lbs., 25c;
5 lbs., 60c; 10 lbs., $1.00.

Fire Blight, Case Bearer, Bud Moth and Makes Trees
Vigorous and Productive, because it Spreads into
Cracks and Crevices.
The Oldest Commercial Dormant Spray. Scalecide
has been in use since 1904. It antedates commercial lime-
sulfur and all other commercial dormant sprays. Almost
a quarter century of successful use is convincing evidence
that Scalecide offers real value to the fruit grower.

Auto-Spray No. 26
It Sprays Continuously
The Auto-Spray No. 26 is
so designed that the pressure
generated on the down
stroke of the plunger allows
this sprayer to produce a
continuous mist-like spray.
This is a decided advantage
over ordinary atomizers,
which are intermittent, in
that spraying can be done
more rapidly and with less
exertion. This sprayer has
a number of advantages
which other Atomizers lack.
USES — For spraying gar-
den crops, for use in green-
houses, for handling disin-
fectants and fly oils. It can be used with all spraying solutions.

Mexican Bean Beetle control. The dust cloud may
be shot with tremendous force if desired, thus making
it ideal for fruit tree dusting. The Model A is long
enough to dust all ground crops without stooping. The
nozzle is slightly turned and may be adjusted so as to
dust upwards from underneath low growing plants.
Price $3.50
The Model B Duster. Is ideal for applying all kinds of
powdered Insecticides and Fungicides to Trees, Plants,
Vegetables, etc. In using the Model B Duster it is

Broom Rake
An ingenious device for
cleaning the debris out of
a lawn or grass plot, leav-
ing it as free from refuse
as though swept with a
broom. In fact, to get
the best results it should
be used with the motion
of a broom. Made of
split bamboo, rigidly se-
cured, with a suitable
length handle. Just the
thing for cleaning grass clippings from walks, flower beds,
borders and from the lawn. Light, durable — efficient —
weighs but 12 ounces — yet tough and strong. Contains
44 teeth. Spreads 18 inches. Price. ............... $1.00

No. 4D. Planet Jr. as a Hill and Drill Seeder only. $13. 75
THIS combined machine is intended for gardeners who
have a large enough acreage in crops for a Double
Wheel Hoe to be used to good advantage, and yet
prefer not to buy seeders and wheel hoes separately.
TNSTEAD of dis-
tributing all the
fertilizer before
the seeds are sown,
distribute only a por-
tion of it; when the
plants are up side-
dress them with this
drill, as the arrange-
ment of the spouts
permits you to dis-
tribute fertilizer either to the right or left, also both
to the right and left at one time, or all down the center.

sow in a continuous row practically any garden seeds,

The Hoes exchange sides to work to or from the
row, and change of wheel regulates the depth.

marking out rows.

NEWTOWN GIANT COLONY BROODERS
UXTEWTOWN” Colony Brooders were the first coal burning, self-feeding, self-regulating colony brooders made. They
JA| have proven satisfactory in every State and abroad. Made in three sizes to meet general requirements. The
size of the Heater determines
the fitness of the brooder for
the building. A Brooder with a
small heater cannot success-
fully supply the required heat for
a large number of Chicks. “New-
town” Colony Brooders very
quickly more than pay for them-
selves. The magazine holds suf-
ficient fuel to last from 24 to 36
hours. This is very necessary
because a brooder must hold fire
all the time, night and day, in all
kinds of weather. All “New-
town” Colony Brooder Heaters
are made with plenty of room
for ashes, so that the grates and
drafts will not become clogged.
The firebowl is specially designed
and ventilated. The bottom is
serrated so that a layer of ashes
three inches thick cannot check
or smother the fire.
No. 7. Capacity, 250 chicks or
less $25.00
No. 11. Capacity, 500 chicks or
less $32.50

ACTUAL photograph showing absolute Chick comfort under “Newtown” Coal-burning Colony Brooder. The Chicks
are happy and contented, because they have plenty of pure, fresh air.
Note the wide circle formed by the Chicks — just where the heat is distributed by the “Newtown’s” specially constructed
Heat Radiator and cone-shaped Deflector. There is no crowding of Chicks around the “Newtown” and they get the tem-
perature best suited to their individual needs by moving toward or away from the stove. It is unnecessary to raise or swing
this conical Deflector around when attending the Brooder and the Chicks are never disturbed.
NEWTOWN LITTLE GIANT INCUBATOR
THE 600-Egg “Newtown” Little Giant Incubator is a
standard section of four 150-egg Compartments fitted
with manifold ends and equipped with all details of
the Giant sizes.
The only feature in which this machine differs from
Giant Incubators is its operation with a blue-flame oil-
burning, instead of a coal-burning Heater. It is the only
incubator of its size built with large machine features and
all the details of construction and principles of Incubation
embodied in “Newtown” Giant Incubators, apply to this
machine.
It can be transformed into a 1200-Egg Little Giant
Incubator by adding one Section. These are ideal hatchers
for Poultrymen who do not have specially constructed in-
cubator rooms because they are successfully operated in
any warm room or basement. No chimney is necessary.
Ready for work wherever placed.
Copper Coil Heater
The Heater used on our 600 and 1200-egg Little Giant
Incubator is a copper coil Heater manufactured especially
for these machines, and so constructed to give greatest
heating efficiency from a minimum amount of oil. Oil flow
to the burner is automatically controlled. The temperature,
as on our Giant Incubators, is controlled by Regulators
at the Heater and on each 150-egg Compartment.
NEWTOWN LITTLE GIANT INCUBATOR, 600-Egg
Capacity, $145.00. 1200-Egg Capacity, $235.00;
Newtown” ‘‘Little Giant” Incubator
with blue-flame oil burner.
The Newtown Oil Burning Colony Brooder
ONE of the big faults of oil-burning brooders has been their inability to produce and properly distribute over a large floor
space sufficient quantity of heat to make possible the successful brooding of large flocks of chicks in cold weather. This
is overcome in the Newtown Oil-Burning Colony Brooder, because its construction is simplicity itself. The burner is
simple and can be lighted with an ordinary match. No smoke or fumes. No flaring up, no going out, nothing to get out of
order. If you want an oil brooder this will please you and we sell it to you with the full assurance that it will do everything
you have a reasonable right to expect.
It will care for any number of chicks up to 500, but we do not recommend more than 300 to 350. We believe that is
enough to put under any brooder — you will raise more and better chicks in the end.
Each brooder is shipped with everything complete ready to operate. A thermometer and full instructions for operation
are furnished with each brooder. Price $26.00

and keeps the’ coops pure and sweet — there will be no
unpleasant odors where it is used. Saves the cost of
disinfectants. One bale will cover about 80 square feet
3 inches deep. Per bale, $4.50. Write for prices on
