Lawn Grass Seed
The Botanical Encyclopedia lists one hundred and
eleven varieties of grasses. More than a hundred of
these are unfit for lawn-making. Of the remaining sorts
no single kind will make a perfect lawn; and the com¬
bination of sorts that will make a successful lawn in one
ocality might prove a complete failure elsewhere.
STITT LAWN GRASS MIXTURE contains a well
balanced blend of grasses that will produce the best re¬
sults under the varied soil conditions found hereabouts.
This mixture will give a smooth, velvety sod with a
thick bottom, and is free from such varieties as produce
clumps. 1 lb. 60c; 3 lbs. $1.70; 5 lbs. $2.75; 10 lbs.
$5.25; 20 lbs. $10.00; 100 lbs. $47.50.
STITT SPECIAL LAWN GRASS MIXTURE FOR
SHADY PLACES equal in quality to our regular mix¬
ture but containing more of the deep rooted varieties so
essential for heavily shaded locations. 1 lb. 70c; 3 lbs.
$2.00; 3 lbs. $3.25; 10 lbs. $6.25; 20 lbs. $12.00; 100 lbs.
$57.50.
STITT CREEPING BENT LAWN MIXTURE.
The popularity of Creeping Bent Grass on golf courses
has created a persistent demand for a good Creeping
Bent Mixture for lawn making. After a careful study
of the advantages of such a mixture we have developed
one composed of four fine grasses of the highest quality
and this we submit for your approval with our heart¬
iest recommendation.
The Stitt Creeping Bent Mixture will produce
a thick turf of velvety appearance, great resilience
and extreme durability; and will withstand an amount
of hard wear that would ruin lawns of ordinary kinds.
It is especially suggested for use where the lawn
is to be the outdoor living room or play spot. 1 lb. $1 .00 ;
3 lbs. $2.90; 5 lbs. $4.75; 10 lbs. $9.25; 20 lbs. $18.00.
Use one pound of above sorts to 400 square feet
for new lawn.
STITT “DO-WELL” LAWN GRASS SEED. This
is mixed with just as great care as our higher priced mix¬
tures but contains Canadian Blue Grass instead of
Kentucky Blue Grass, and a greater quantity of Tim¬
othy than does our other mixtures; it will give a quicker
growth, but has not quite the same amount of perennial
grasses as our better grades.
Use 1 lb. for 300 sq. ft. of new lawn, or 1 lb. for 400
sq. ft. of renovated lawn.
1 lb. 50c; 3 lbs. $1.45; 5 lbs/$2.25; 10 lbs. $4.25; 20
lbs. $8.00; 100 lbs. $37.50.
THE STITT MIXTURE FOR GOLF COURSES
AND ATHLETIC FIELDS, in correct combinations
for all soils.
Only the very finest grades of seeds should be used in
these mixtures. The grasses must form a densely
matted turf that will afford a firm but resilient foothold,
and be of such varieties as will withstand frequent
close cuttings.
The Stitt Golf Link Mixtures will meet these re¬
quirements, but if any special conditions of soil or
location are to be met, advise us of your needs; the kind
of soil to be covered, and the general lay of your land.
We will gladly recommend the mixture best suited
to the situation.

SERVICE
WE OFFER GRATIS, TO OUR CUS-
TOMERS, a service that few houses in
our line are equipped to offer, even at a
price.
In our employ are trained, practical
Gardeners whose advice and assistance
are at the service of our patrons. To the
garden lover who wishes to get the best of
decorative effects with plants and shrub¬
bery or who wishes the utmost yield of
Flowers, Fruits or Vegetables from his
piece of ground, whether it be a city lot
or a suburban estate, we will gladly sub¬
mit without charge, our suggestions for
the most practical way of accomplishing
either.
Tell us the dimensions of the lot and
of the buildings, with their relation to the
points of the compass, the character of the
soil and the name of any favorite plants
that may be especially wanted. We will
then draw up a plan and submit a list of
the necessary plants, with the location of
each clearly indicated: or if preferred,
one of our men will call and make his
recommendations in person.
The plan that we will submit will be so
clearly laid out that it may be followed by
any one engaged to do the work: but if
the planting is to be done by an inexperi¬
enced person or by an amateur, we will
even supervise this part of the work and
instruct the person in the simplest and
most practical method of doing it.
For the plans and suggestions we make
no charge. The seeds and plants required
will be charged for at our regular catalog
prices.

CULTURE and CARE OF FLOWERS
In Our List of Flower Seeds will be found all those
varieties known to be desirable and worthy the attention
of florists and amateurs. Our Catalogue is arranged
with a view to aid our patrons in their selection by
offering the very best varieties of each species.
Success. With patience and the exercise of reason¬
able judgment, anyone may soon acquire experience
enough to successfully grow most of the species of
flowers; failure more often results from ignorance and
neglect than from any fault of the seeds or of nature.
Constant Care is Required in any event.
Reliable Seed is the first requisite. We spare no
pains or expense to procure the V ery Best. A thorough
trial of our seeds will do more to establish this fact
in the minds of our patrons than any statement made
by us would be likely to do.
When and How to Sow. The first of May is early
enough, in this latitude, to sow most of the species in
the open ground; too early sowing is a great mistake.
The small and delicate seeds must be covered Very
Lightly with earth; the finest of them had better be
sown Without Any Covering, the simple pressure of a
smooth board being sufficient. Repeated experiments
with various kinds of delicate seeds, induces us to
advise, in addition, the covering of such seeds with
sheets of newspaper until they are through the ground,
thereby preventing the surface evaporation, which so
often causes failure, besides protecting the seeds
from being forced into the ground so deeply through
careless watering, that they could not sprout. By
following this method many seeds that are rather
difficult to start may be quite successfully grown.
The larger and more hardy seeds may be planted deeper
and some of them earlier. It is a safe rule to sow most
seeds to a depth of Four or Five Times the Diameter
of the seeds itself.
Location. A rather light sandy loam suits most
flowers, and, in such soils, seeds generally germinate
well. Some flowers thrive best in a rather shady
situation and in rather heavy clay soils (the Pansy
is a notable instance), while others do best upon light,
poor soils exposed to the full rays of the sun;
this is particularly true of the Portulaca.
Early Sowing. The seeds of nearly all the annual
varieties and many of the biennials and perennials, may
be sown in March or April, under glass frames, in
greenhouses, or in small boxes in any sunny window.
In this way a good stock of plants may be had at small
expense, and a gain of several weeks made in the season
of blooming; and when the plants are set out of doors
further transplanting is not required. Shallow boxes,
two or three inches deep, and with open seams at the
bottom are the best in which to start the seeds. Fill
these boxes to within half an inch of the top with good
rich soil, mixed with about one-fourth sand. Make
the surface level and smooth and upon this scatter
the seeds sparingly. Use a fine sieve, with which sift
carefully over the seeds just enough earth to cover
them. Afterwards gently shower them with tepid
water, using a fine sprinkler, and keep the boxes in
a temperature as near 60 degrees as possible. Avoid
much watering unless the surface of the soil appears
dry. Transplant into other boxes when the plants are

CULTURE AND CARE— Continued.
large enough to handle, setting them from half an
inch to an inch apart. In setting plants out into the
beds or borders, allow a liberal space for each.
Late Sowing. Most of the biennials and perennials
may be sown late in the summer, from the middle of Au¬
gust through September, and they will then bloom the
following season. When cold weather sets in about
the only protection necessary for the young plants
is a covering of leaves, straw or litter to a depth of
three or four inches, and a board on top to keep it in
place. They should be uncovered soon after the middle
of March.
COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS. From an ex¬
perience of many years we confidently recommend for
general use commercial fertilizers for all plants; it is
more permanent than stable manure, and has the
additional advantage of never introducing seeds
or weeds.
Annuals, Biennials, Perennials. Flowers are clas¬
sified as Annuals, Biennials and Perennials. Annuals,
are those plants that bloom the first year from seed
and after ripening their seeds, perish the same season.
They comprise many of the most beautiful flowers, and,
as a rule, are of easy culture. Some of the Biennials
and Perennials will flower the first season if the seed
is sown early, and they may then be kept over for
another year or longer. Pansy, Snapdragon, Pinks,
etc., belong to this class. Biennials bloom the second
year from planting the seed, and then die. Perennials,
as a rule, bloom the second year, and are more or less
permanent thereafter. The seeds of some of the Per¬
ennials remain a long time in the soil before germinating.

DAHLIAS
Chief among the newer of these is the Cactus type
with long curled and twisted petals, which is a radical
departure from the old-fashioned “Show” Dahlia with
each petal set in its place. Then there are Decorative
and Fancy Dahlias with reflex petals. Pompon Dahlias,
which have small ball-shaped flowers. Single Dahlias
in many beautiful colors and the tall-growing, loose-
petaled type with its big fluffy blooms. We submit
below a list of the very finest Dahlias that are now
cultivated. These are so widely different from the
common garden Dahlias of a few years ago that they
will scarcely be recognized as belonging to the same
group of flowers.

HARDY ROSES
Roses should be planted in rich, well prepared soil,
preferably clay loam, fertilized with well rotted manure
or bone meal. They should be given thorough, but
shallow cultivation. The best results can be obtained
when planted in the open sunlight. All Roses are
benefitted by winter protection, by banking about
the plant with earth or covering with a light mulch of
leaves or straw. Roses should be trimmed in the spring
before growth starts, shaping the plant and removing
all canes that have become weakened by blooming.

The health and vigor of the plant can be improved
by removing the dead flowers during the summer.
To counteract any damage to the leaves by worms
use Arsenate of Lead; for aphis, thrip, or red spider,
use Nicotine; and for fungus use Bordeaux Mixture.

England, the country of beautiful gardens, has
discovered a way to make manure without dependence
uponstables. The process consists of making a heap

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.

PETS AND SUPPLIES
OUR BIRDS
Our birds are all imported from the best
bird-breeding countries of the old world; and
are tested for song before leaving the homes
of their breeders; the next test is made imme¬
diately upon their arrival in this country; then
our own representative inspects and tests
them at the port of arrival, selecting for ship¬
ment only those having the clearest notes.
When they arrive at our store they are again
tested and classified according to the purity
of their note-tones and the quality and length
of their songs. At this final testing the price of
each individual bird is decided upon. This price

is governed by the bird’s qualifications as a singer.
It is because of these numerous tests that we are
enabled to guarantee every bird that we sell
Most of the best canaries reaching this country
come from the Hartz Mountain districts .of
Germany and the Norwich and Yorkshire
districts of England; and all of the best types are
represented in our stock.
The prices of the birds vary from season to
season; but tested singers having the best
physical traits are usually priced at from $8.00
to $12.00, while some having songs of unusual
quality will be priced higher; others, whose
songs have not fully developed, and yet may
eventually prove to be splendid singers are
priced below the minimum quoted above.
BIRD SUPPLIES
The Bird Foods and Remedies offered in the
following pages have been made and sold by this
company for over fifty years. Competing prep¬
arations by the dozens have come and gone dur¬
ing this time, while the sale of our preparations
increases each year. Our foods and remedies
could not have survived this competition unless
they possessed the unusual merit that we claim
for them.
Our large stocks of valuable birds are nour¬
ished and conditioned with exactly the same
preparations that we offer for sale.
WILSON’S MIXTURE OF CANARY AND
RAPE SEED
is now, as it has been for over fifty years, a
blend of the finest and cleanest Canary and
Rape Seed that it is possible to purchase. Food
for human epicures is not selected with more
care than we give to the selection and mixing
of these seeds; and it is a peculiar fact that
more than a quarter of a century before an
enterprising baking company began to pack food
for human consumption in sealed packages,
this company was sealing bird-seed in cardboard
containers so it would reach the customer as
fresh and clean as when mixed.
If your bird refuses the seed you now get
for him or if it fails to nourish him sufficiently
try this mixture of ours. Put up in pound car¬
tons and priced at 20c. By mail, postpaid, 25c.
WILSON’S SONG RESTORER AND
CANARY BIRD FOOD
When birds are sick or out of song this will
restore both health and melody. Birds in per¬
fect health may have their song improved by
regular feedings of this, as directed on the
container .
Price 20c — By Mail, Postpaid, 25c.
WILSON’S MOCKING BIRD FOOD
The ingredients of this food are selected and
mixed, with the object of duplicating as nearly
as possible the diet of the birds living in their
natural state. It contains vegetable, animal
and insect components; and its use will keep
the birds in the best of physical condition and
consequently in good song.

This food will be relished by Mocking Birds,
Thrushes, Troopials, and all soft-billed birds.
The price is 50c per can. By mail, 60c.
WILSON’S PARROT SEED
contains a mixture of the seeds best suited to
the nourishment and sustenance of the parrot.
This mixture contains many food elements
not supplied by the sunflower seed alone. It is
thoroughly recleaned, well cured and packed
in sealed cartons so it reaches the customer
fresh and clean.
Carton containing 13^ lbs., 30c. By mail.
8c extra.
WILSON’S CHOICE SUNFLOWER SEED

Food and consists entirely of clean, plump,

WILSON’S SILVER LAKE SAND
is necessary to the welfare of the cage-bird,
which having no teeth for chewing its food must
depend upon grit taken into the crop to mas¬
ticate and prepare the food for the digestive
processes. The sand is priced at 10c per box
of 2 lbs. By mail. Postpaid, 18c.
WILSON’S GRAVEL PAPER
Made for round, square and oblong cages is
in many instances preferable to the loose sand
as it reduces the work of cleaning the cage
and eliminates the scattering of sand outside
the cage. We manufacture this gravel paper by
hand, using only pure wheat flour adhesives
and clean gravel so no injurious substances
can enter into its composition.
Square or Oblong Sheets — 20c per dozen.
Round — 25c per dozen.
Round — extra large, 1 1 inch diameter. 30c
per dozen.
