V. S. C. FROST-PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS

Our Plants Are Grown on the Mississippi Coast By our Own Grower From Our
Seeds. Our Sturdy Southern Grown Cabbage Plants are Tough and Hardy.
They Mean Dollars to the Wide-awake Gardener.

The plants make a slow but
steady growth, until at eight or
ten weeks of age they are very
tough, the buds are purple and
the outer leaves a reddish
brown. When in this condition
they can be shipped to territory
farther north and be planted in
the open ground a month to six
weeks sooner than the home¬
grown hot-bed or cold-frame
plants. These Frostproof Cab¬
bage Plants will stand a tem¬
perature of twenty degrees
above zero without injury, the
land freezing, or the plants be¬
ing covered with ice, sleet or snow after they are
planted will not injure them.

The top of the plant does not grow until your
regular Spring weather opens up. but the roots
grow from the time they are planted, and just
as soon as Spring weather starts, the established
root growth assimilates the fertilizer in the
soil, the plants grow very fast, maturing headed
cabbage two to three weeks sooner than you
can mature them from hotbed and cold frame
plants. You know wTiat the difference in profit
will be if your crop is matured and marketed be¬
fore the general crop from home-grown plants is
matured.

To get the advantage of the Frost-proof Cabbage Plants they must be planted a month or six
weeks earlier than you would plant home-grown plants. We fill orders from January 15th to
May 1st. Will have the following varieties — Early Jersey Wakefield. Charleston Large Type
Wakefield, Succession and Early Flat Dutch.

Prices, "by parcel post, 100 for 50c; 500 for $1.75; 1000 for $3.00. No orders filled for less than 100 plants
of a variety. By express, not prepaid, 100 for 40c; 500 for $1.25; 1000 for $2.25; 5000 for $10.00.

V. S. C. BERMUDA ONION PLANTS

Onion Plants Make Larger, Sweeter Onions That Keep Bet¬
ter, Grow Faster and Produce Greater Crops.

We can supply you with Genuine Yellow and Crystal White Wax
Onion Plants. Onion plants are becoming more popular than onion-
sets. The sets have to be absorbed by the new growth before ic be¬
gins to form the new onion and the plants begin to grow as soon as
planted thereby making more headway. They produce delicious young
onions for table use as well as producing large onions of delicious
flavor and good keeping qualities. Onion plants are even more hardy
than Frost Proof Cabbage Plants standing more cold weather. They
can be set out any time you would plant onion sets or cabbage plants.
Plant in rows about 15 inches apart and 3 or 4 inches apart in the
rows.

Prices for Yellow or Straw colored Bermuda Onion Plants Parcel
Post paid 100 for 25c; 500 for $1.00; 1000 for $1.75. Not prepaid, 1000

ASPARAGUS

SEED AND ROOTS

One ounce will produce about 200 plants; or plant 40 feet of
drill; 5 pounds will plant an acre.

Sow early in spring 2 inches deep in rows 18 inches
apart. When one or two years old transplant into perma¬
nent bed, in furrows 4 to 5 feet apart and 2 feet between
the plants. Deep loamy soil, thoroughly cultivated and
heavily manured, is required for permanent bed. Complete
directions on request.

WASHINGTON — A rust-resistant type, introduced by the U. S. De¬
partment of Agriculture, which we believe will soon be grown to the
exclusion of other sorts. A heavy yielding variety with long, thick,
heavy stalks, closely folded at the tips; coloi4 rich, dark green. Pkt.
10c; oz., 25c; % lb., 75c; 1 lb. $2.50, postpaid.

PALMETTO — A fine variety, very large, early and adapted to all
climates. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; % lb., 30c; 1 lb. 90c., postpaid*

PALMETTO ASPARAGUS ROOTS — A saving of 1 to 2 years

is effected by planting roots. For private use or for marketing
on a small scale, beds should be formed 5 feet wide, with 3 rows
planted in each one in the middle and one on each side a foot
from the edge; distance between the plants in the rows, 9 inches.
Price, 2-year roots, doz., 40c; 50 for $1.00; 100 for $1.50 post¬
paid.

ARTICHOKE

One ounce will produce 500 plants; *4 lb. to the acre.

Seed should be sown in hotbeds early in February to get plants
that will bear first year. Transplant to open ground in April,
in deep, rich, sandy loam with plenty of well rotted manure.

LARGE GREEN GLOBE — Produces heads like flowers, which
are cooked like Asparagus. Highly esteemed. Pkt., 10c; % oz.,
40c; 1 oz., 75c, postpaid.

BROCCOLI

Palmetto

One ounce seed will produce about 2,000 plants.

Give them the culture required for cauliflower, as it
is very similar. It is generally taller and the heads are
more divided. Broccoli stands greater extremes of tem¬
perature than cauliflower and is better adapted for late
fall planting. Broccoli can be sown either in the spring
or fall.

EARLY WHITE CAPE — The best variety; heads
white, compact and hardy; a hardy, vigorous and easily
grown sort. Pkt., 10c; % oz., 35c; 1 oz., 60c, postpaid.

King of the Garden Lima

ONE POUND WILL PLANT ABOUT 150 HILLS

Limas require warm, rich, loamy soil. Plant when the soil has been
well warmed through in the spring, as the seed will rot in cold soil. When
poles are used for support! they should be set not less than 4 feet apart
each way. Plant 4 to 6 beans around each pole 2 inches deep and thin out
to three plants to the pole. Cultivate frequently but shallow, and use a top
dressing of good commercial fertilizer or poultry manure.

with market gardeners. It will come into bearing earlier and make larger
pods if not more than two vines are left to grow on a pole. Seed very large,
ovoid, flat white, with slight greenish tinge. Pkt. 10c; x/2 lh. 25c; lb. 45c;
2 lbs. 80c; 5 lbs. $1.75 postpaid.

bloom that appears on the plants,
something that is not true of any
other pole lima bean. Seeds of the
Carolina or Sieva Lima size but
are speckled white and brownish
red. Pkt., 10c; H lh., 25c; 1 lb.,

productiveness. The plants are without runners but con¬
tinue to grow and, set pods until stopped by frost. The

THE BEST TABLE BEETS

One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill; 5 to 6 pounds

DETROIT DARK RED — We believe this is the best
beet for the market and home garden, and on account
of its uniformly deep rich color the most desirable for
canning. The tops are small and upright in growth.
The leaves are dark green, shaded with red. The
roots are medium sized, globular or nearly round,
very smooth and a dark blood red color. The flesh is
deep vermilion red, zoned with a lighter shade of
the same color. The variety is very desirable for
bunching. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 2 oz., 20c; % lb., 30c;

1 lb., 90c; 5 lb., $4.00, postpaid.

DARK-LEAVED GLOBE — A splendid type of
the blood-turnip variety, the originator having in
mind a Beet combining good quality with beautiful
globe shape. The dark foliage of this variety is
a striking feature, while the corresponding rich,
dark color of flesh and beautiful globe combine to
make it an exceedingly attractive variety. The
quality is excellent, being sweet, tender. Pkt., 5c;

1 oz., 15c; % lb., 40c; 1 lb. $1.25; 5 lbs., $5.00,
postpaid.

EXTRA EARLY EGYPTIAN BLOOD TURNIP — This is
the best variety for forcing. It is also excellent for first
early crop outdoors, being very early, with small tops. The
leaves are dark green, shaded and veined with dark red. The
roots are veryl dark red, moderately thick, a little rounded
on top, distinctly flat on the bottom, and about two inches
in diameter when mature. The flesh is dark purplish red,
zoned lighter shade; firm, crisp and tender. A popular mark¬
et garden sort, but not as desirable for the home garden as
some of the later maturing varieties. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 2
0Z4 15c; l/i lb., 25c; 1 lb., 75c; 5 lb., $3.50, postpaid.

EARLY BLOOD TURNIP (Improved) — An extra selected
stock of Blood Turnip, having larger, coarser tops' and root
than Detroit Dark Red and requiring a longer time to mature.
The roots are dark red and nearly round or slightly flattened.
The flesh is deep red, zoned with lighter shade, sweet, crisp
and tender. This is an excellent market and home garden
sort for summer and autumn use. Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 10c; 2 oz.,
15c; oz. 25c; 1 lb. 75c; 5 lb. $3.50 postpaid.

LONG DARK BLOOD — -A standard long late variety of very
good quality which keeps well through the winter. The roots
are smooth, rather slender, growing largely under ground,
with few or no side roots and when matured about eight or
ten inches in length, ' sometimes longer when grown in deep,
well-dug and well-manured soil. The exterior color of the
roots is very dark purple,

early beet especially desir¬
able for the home garden
and used for bunching.
The tops are small. The
roots are bright deep red,

top shaped with a small
tap and small collar. The
flesh is bright red, zoned

Early Blood Turnip

Fibrous loam, well drained and well enriched,
will raise good beet crops. For early table beets,
have drills 16 to 20 inches apart, and sow the seed
about 1 inch deep, as early as the ground can be
put in good shape, or, seed may be sown under glass
four weeks sooner, and the young seedlings trans¬
planted to open ground to give an extra early crop.
Give thorough and clean cultivation, and thin the
plants to 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows.

CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN — This very desirable table beet does
not closely resemble the original Egyptian except in its ex¬
treme 6arliness. The tops are small. The roots are flat¬
tened globe shaped and very smooth. The exterior col¬
or of the root is bright red. The flesh of our strain is
bright vermilion-red, zoned with a lighter shade, very
sweet, tender and of excellent quality. This is one of
the best for early planting outdoors and is much used
for bunching. It becomes fit for use earlier than any
other variety but it is not so well suited as Extra Early
Egyptian Blood Turnip for forcing in hot beds or for
transplanting. Our stock is exceptionally uniform in
shape and color, and is earlier than the older strains
which are similar in shape but show the purplish red
color. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 2 oz. 15c; % lb. 25c; 1 lb.

CAULIFLOWER.

Cauliflower, although one of the most delicious
vegetables, is but little grown except by professional
gardeners because of the erroneous notion that it is so
difficult to grow that only skilled gardeners can produce
it. Any one will be reasonably sure of success with
this most desirable vegetable if the cultural directions
given below are carefully followed.

For spring and early summer crop, sow in January
or February in hotbed. If soil is not too wet, seed should
be thoroughly pressed into the ground after sowing. This
insures quick germination. Cover seed with one-half inch
of fine soil firmly pressed down. Transplant to cold-
frame when sufficiently large to handle. As soon as dang¬
er of hard freezing is over set in the open ground in
rows two and one-half to threei feet apart and eighteen
inches apart in the row. The plants will endure a light
frost. The soil for cauliflower should be like that for
cabbage, but it is better if made richer than is ordinarily
used for that crop. Plenty of good manure must be well
incorporated with the soil and the latter be brought into
the highest state of tilth. No application, however, can be
more necessary or more useful than that of cultivator
and hoe.

EARLY SNOWBALL — Unquestionably the earliest ma¬
turing strain of the true short leaved Snowball type of
cauliflower. It is admirably adapted for forcing or wint¬
ering over for early crop and is the! most popular sort
for these purposes, also one of the best sorts for late
summer and fall crop. Early Snowball is, moreover, a
most desirable sort for the home garden. The plants are
compact, with few short, outside leaves and are well
suited for close planting. The heads are of medium to
large size, solid, compact, round, very white and curd¬
like and are developed earlier than those of any other
sort. Pkt. 15c; oz., 65c; *4 oz. $1.15; H oz., $2.00;
14 lb. $7.50.

HERBS

Most of the varieties of herbs thrive best on sandy
soil and some are stronger and better flavored when
grown on that which is rather poor. In all cases the
soil should be carefully prepared and well cultivated, as
the young plants are for the most part delicate and
easily choked out by weeds.

SAGE — One of the most extensively used herbs for seas¬
oning. Hardy perennial, about fifteen to eighteen inches
high. Plant very branching; leaves grayish green, oval,
wrinkled. Cut the leaves and tender shoots just as the
plant is coming into flower and dry quickly in the shade.
The plants will survive the winter and may be divided.
If this is done they will give a second cropi superior in
quality. Pkt. 10c; Oz., 25c; 2 oz., 40c; % lb., 75c;
lb. $2.50.

SAVORY, SUMMER — A hardy aromatic annual twelve

ers of which are extensively used for seasoning, espe¬
cially in dressings and soups. Pkt. 10c; Oz., 20c; 2 oz.,
35c; % lb. 60c; lb. $2.00.

THYME— An aromatic perennial herb, eight to ten inch¬

and sauces. Plant about eighteen inches high, branching,
with ovate toothed leaves. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 2 oz., 40c;
Ya lb. 75c.

DILL MAMMOTH— An annual of aromatic odor and
warm pungent taste. Its seeds are used for seasoning.
It possesses medicinal properties but its largest, use is
for making Dill pickles. Plant branching, two to three
feet high ; leaves very much cut into thread-like seg¬
ments. Pkt. 10c; oz., 15c; 2 oz., 20 c; % lb., 30c;
lb., $1.00.

LAVENDER — A hardy perennial, growing about two
feet high. It is used for the distillation of lavender water
or dried and used to perfume linen. It should be picked
before it becomes dry and hard, and dried quickly. Pkt.,
10c; Oz., 25c; 2 oz., 40c; *4 lb., 75c; lb., $2.50.

V. S. C. SUPER-IOR. CABBAGE SEED

ONE OUNCE WELL PRODUCE 3,000 PLANTS

For early use the seed should be started in the
house or hotbed in January or February. Wben the
young plants are well started, transplant so as to stand
3 inches apart each way. About the end of March they
may be transplanted into the garden in rows 3 feet
apart, setting the plants 18 inches apart each way. For
late use, sow the seed about the middle of May, or sow¬
ings can be made up to July 10, in a finely prepared seed
bed, later transplanting to rows 3 feet apart, setting the
plants 2 V2 feet apart. Plenty of room should be given
plants, at least two feet each way. They need a light and
well watered soil, rich in nitrogen. Frequent applica¬
tions of nitrate of soda or some other nitrogenous fertil¬
izer will work wonders.

EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD — This most excellent
variety is the earliest and surest heading of first early
cabbages for the market and home garden. Most garden¬
ers depend upon it for the bulk of their extra early crop.

The plants are exceedingly hardy, not only in resisting
cold but ■ other unfavorable conditions. They are compact and erect
or very slightly spreading, with few outer leaves, which are smooth,
thick, nearly oval and deep green. The steni| is short. The heads are
of medium size, very solid, uniformly pointed and of excellent quality.

CHARLESTON or LARGE WAKEFIELD — A strain in which the
plant is larger and a little later than Early Jersey Wakefield, the heac
being fully as solid but less pointed and considerably larger. Th<
leaves are rather large, smooth and comparatively thick. Its exceed
ing hardiness, earliness and size of head have made it
with market gardeners and shippers a popular sort to
follow Jersey Wakefield. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; *4 oz., 75c;

1 lb., $2.50; 5 lb., $12.00, postpaid.

THE NEW GOLDEN ACRE — A very fine new sort
from Denmark, the home of fine cabbage. It is very uni¬
form, almost every head could be cut at the same time.
The originator states that Golden Acre matures quicker
than any variety known to him. The head is of medium
size, quite round, and is surrounded by a few small outer
leaves. It is very firm and fully equal to any of the
late sorts in this respect. On account of its hardness it
will stand in the field for a month or more without
bursting and can be shipped long distances and arrive
in excellent condition. Don’t fail to give the New Gold¬
en Acre a trial. Price; Pkt., 10c; 1 oz., 50c; ^4 lb.,
$1.50; 1 lb., $4.00, postpaid.

ALLHEAD EARLY — This excellent second early mark¬
et sort produces heads that are very large for so early a

CUCUMBERS

One ounce will plant 50 hills; 2 pounds will plant one acre.

For very early cucumbers plant in paper pots or dirt bands in hotbeds, about the second week in March. Trans¬
plant as soon as the weather permits. In the open, plant about the first of April, as soon as the weather becomes
settled, in hills 4 feet each way; thin to 3 of the sturdiest plants when they begin to vine. The soil should be a
rich, sandy loam. Continue to plant for succession until the middle of July. Cucumbers should be gathered when
large enough for use, whether required or not, as ripening destroys their productiveness.

IMPROVED LONG GREEN — The standard cucumber
for either slicing or pickling, the Long Green enjoys about
twice the wide use that does any other. It is extreme¬
ly prolific, medium late and for hardiness and disease
resistance is the best variety. The small pickles are
well shaped, while in the slicing stage the fruits are
very attractive. Size, 13x3 inches. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c;
% lb. 50c;; 1 lb. $1.50; 5 lb., $7.00 post paid.

IMPROVED WHITE SPINE— One of the earliest and
most prolific of the older types of white spines, this
variety, is very widely used. It is adapted for either
slicing or pickling; the green color, however, is not as
good for shipping as it is with some of the newer white
spines. For the home! garden it is among the best, as
it can be used for all purposes. Size 7x2*4 inches. Pkt.,
5c; oz., 15c; % lb. 40c; 1 lb., $1.25; 5 lb., $5.50 post¬
paid.

DAVIS PERFECT — A long smooth cucumber with
pointed ends, or the shape may be said to be tapering to
both ends. The most popular of the white spine strains,
it is a shy seeding variety, but the edible qualities are ex¬
cellent. It is a deep green color when in the slicing
stage, medium late in maturing, and the size is 11x3
inches. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; *4 lb., 50c; 1 lb. $1.50, 5 lb.
$7.00 postpaid.

KLONDIKE — A little smaller than Arlington, it is used
principally for long distance shipping, as the deep green
color holds extremely well. The ends taper slightly, the
fruits are smooth and symmetrical, but it has not the
length that is desirable in other main crop shipping var¬
ieties. It is valuable, however, on account of its earli-
ness. The size is 7x2 % inches. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 15c;
*4 lb., 40c; 1 lb., $1.25; 5 lb. $5.50, postpaid.

GREEN PROLIFIC — This variety is widely used and
for early, uniform pickles is excellent. The fruits are
smooth, cylindrical and the size when mature is 5%x21,4
inches. The ends taper and the small pickles are more
slender than are those of other varieties. Pkt. 5c; 1 oz.,
15c; *4 lb., 40c; 1 lb., $1.25; 5 lb., $5.50, postpaid.

EARLY CLUSTER — A small variety, supposed to grow
in clusters near the roots, but this is not noticeable. It
is very early, prolific and uniform and is the second
most popular of the early pickling strains. The skin is
smooth, the ends taper slightly and the size is 6x2*4
inches. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; *4 lb., 30c; 1 lb., $1.00;
5 lb., $4.75, postpaid.

JAPANESE CLIMBING — A distinct variety used for
its climbing qualities to cover trellises and fences. Thef
color when ripe is a deep russet, covered with a slight
netting. When in the slicing stage the deep green color
is splendid. A very hardy, vigorous growing cucumber,
the edible qualities are very good. The size of the ma¬
ture fruits averages 9x2% inches. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c;
% lb.. 50c; 1 lb., $1.50, postpaid.

WEST INDIA GHERKIN— It is a native of Jamaica
and is generally used for very small pickles. It also is
stuffed with relishes and matures in about 60 days. The
outside is covered with small elastic spines; the shape is
roundish and the size is l%xl inches. Pkt., 5c; oz.,

STAYS GREEN CUCUMBER — This is perhaps the
earliest of the White Spine type. The fruit is seven to 8
inches long, cylindrical in shape, with a beautiful dark
green color from stem to blossom end and this color is
retained in all its freshness longer than most other
varieties. It is a vigorous grower, yields enormously, the
shipping quality is not to be excelled and it commands a top
price in particular markets. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 20c; % lb., 50c;
1 lb., $1.50; 5 lb., $7.00 postpaid.

CHICORY

ONE OUNCE WILL SOW 100 FEET OF ROW

Chicory is grown for the large, thick roots, which are dried,
roasted and ground, as a substitute or adulterant for coffee.
The leaves are also used as a salad during the early spring
months. To secure large, smooth roots, the soil should be light,

SWEET AND

One pound will plant 200 hills; 14
pounds will plant one acre.

Sweet Corn varies greatly in
hardiness, earliness, size and sweet¬
ness. The early sorts grow only' 3
to 5 feet high and may be planted
when the trees are starting out; in
leaf, about the middle of March, in
rows 3 feet apart, making the hills
about 1 foot apart. The later and
sweeter varieties are more tender
and should not be planted until the
trees are in full leaf or the seed will
rot in the ground. Plant garden
corn in rows 3 feet apart, making
the hills 18 inches apart in the rows.

GOLDEN BANTAM— Very early, sweet
and tender. Cobs are well filled with deep
cream colored kernels. We cannot recom¬
mend this variety too highly for the home
garden. Tt is important that the corn be

the same as field corn.

QUEEN'S GOLDEN — The largest pop
corn. The stalk grows 5 to 6 feet high
and bears 2 to 3 large ears each. It i>
yellow, but pops perfectly white.

WHITE RICE — A very handsome and
prolific white variety. The ears are 5 to
7 inches long. The kernels are long,
pointed and somewhat resembling rice. This
excellent, rather late maturing
variety yields heavily and is
considered the best pop corn for
popping.

WHITE PEARL— This is a
small grajn variety, being a
smaller kernel than the Queon’s
Golden or White Rice. It also
has a small cob, but is a very
prolific variety

RED BEAUTY— Although the
kernels are very dark red, this
color does not seem to show at
all when popped, being then a
pearly white. Extremely early.

HONEY BALL — The Honey Ball is the result of
a cross between Cannon Ball and Honey Dew. It
is a little larger than Rocky Ford, is as round as
a ball, has thick green flesh, and therefore a small
seed cavity. It has a hard tough rind which makes
it a wonderful shipping melon. Honey Ball is quite
early, enormously productive, and has a flavor and
sweetness which will add greatly to its popularity.
The vine is vigorous and is more resistant to
blight and sun scald than other varieties. Pkt., 10c;
oz., 35c; 54 lb., $1.00; 1 lb., $3.50; parcel post paid.
HACKENSACK — A very large, green fleshed mel¬
on, quite flat in shape with very prominent ribs
and heavy netting. The flesh is remarkably thick,
sweet and spicy. While a little late in maturing
this melon is widely used and for the extra large
green fleshed melons is distinctive and valuable.
Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 54 lb., 40c; 1 lb., $1.25; 5 lb.,
$5.50, postpaid.

HONEY DEW MELON — The delicious honey-like
flavor of this new melon created a sensation wher¬
ever used last year. The fruit is of good size,
weighing 6 to 8 pounds, light cream colored, smooth
skin with thick, rich and sweet flesh of light green
color. The rind is thin but tough and so close
that the rich] flesh is practically sealed up where
it keeps in finest condition for several months after
it is ripe. Pkt., 10c; 1 oz., 20c; 2 oz., 35c; 54 lb.,
60c; 1 lb., $2.00, postpaid.

Select Watermelon. Seeds

An ounce will plant 40 hills; 2 to 3 pounds will plant an acre.

Watermelons delight in a light, sandy soil. Plant when danger from frost is over, in hills 8 to
10 feet apart each way. Put from 10 to 15 seeds in each hill and when well started thin out to the
two ihest plants. In this latitude we plant the seed about the middle of April. The bugs will re¬
quire, careful watching or they will eat up the plants before they get started. Do not make a big

“hill” when sowing the seed; it is much better to
ground.

NEW WONDEBMELON — This new melon resembles
the Tom Watson, but it is thicker, more solid and
usually grows larger and heavier, growing uniformly large
and long, not unusual for the melons to weigh 40 to 50
pounds and nearly all melons grow to a desirable size.
The flesh is sparkling red and is sweet to the rind,
even in smaller size melons. Rind is a dark glossy
green with small crease-like markings on the larger sizes
andl is very attractive in appearance. Its eating qual¬
ities are unexcelled; the luscious, large, deep red heart
is sweet and melting, free of cores or hard centers,
while tbe rind is thin yet it is tough enough that it
will ship a reasonable distance with satisfaction. The
seeds are pure white and few to the melon. It is a
prolific melon and its appearance is a big selling point.

It jvill pay to give this melon, a trial. It is the water¬
melon of today and for the future, as it possesses all the
fine qualities of a perfect variety, both as to its produc¬
tiveness, quality and for transportation. Pkt., 10c; oz.,
15e; 2 oz., 25c; 54 lb., 40c; 1 lb., $1.00, postpaid.

STONE MOUNTAIN MELON — This new melon is
becoming more popular throughout the Souths It being
an outstanding variety among the round watermelons.

the flesh is an attractive deep red. On good soil melons

few seeds but plenty of delicious flesh and one that
grows large it will pay you to try Stone Mountain. Pkt.,
10c; oz., 20c; 54 lb., 50c; 1 lb., $1.50 postpaid.

SELECTED TOM WATSON — This is an extra select¬
ed stock of this splendid well-known and popular melon.
Seed is saved only from specimen made as near uniform
as possible. The grower will no doubt appreciate this,
from the fact that this stock will grow larger and more
regular melons than the ordinary strain. We are pleased
to offer this special stock this season, a§ we are sure
you will be highly pleased with the results. Pkt., 5c; 1
oz., 15c; 2 ozs., 25c; 54 lb-, 40c; 1 lb., $1.00; 5 lbs.,

SEED POTATOES

One peck will plant 125 feet of row; 8 to
10 bushels will plant 1 acre.

The land should be gotten into fine mellow condition.
Mark it off into rows three feet apart and then run
a furrower along so as to make a furrow about four
inches deep. Apply Truck Fertilizer along this
furrow with a distributor or by hand. The fur-
rower should be run along 2\'2 inches deep, after
the fertilizer is applied, to mix it with the soil.
Drop the seed 15 inches apart and cover with a
cultivator arranged to throw the earth back into
the furrow. Cultivate frequently after the pota¬
toes come up, and do not
“hill up” more than just
enough to cover the potatoes
which form near the surface.
If there is danger of frost
soon after the potatoes come
up, they may be covered with
earth without injuring them
at all.

EARLY RED TRIUMPH —

Extremely prolific and extra
early, the color a beautiful
light red; medium size.
Growth very uniform, nearly round. Flesh white; mealy when cooked. Eyes slightly
depressed, skin smooth. Its beauty, quality, extreme earliness and great produc¬
tiveness make it very profitable.

IRISH COBBLER — This is one of the most reliable and is fast becoming one of

the most popular of the early varieties for a white skin potato in the South. It is

of a handsome cream-white color and of excellent quality, making it most desirable
for the best trade. It is a vigorous grower, ripens uniformly and is a good keeper.
In fact it is one of the best all-around early potatoes now on the market.

EARLY OHIO— This is one of the standard varieties, and is credited with being

the very earliest potato on the market. It matures
a week earlier than the Early Rose. The tubers aver¬
age large in size, are oval, oblong and round at seed
end. A fine yielder, but does best for planting in
loamy or stiff soils. # Irish Cobbler seems to do best
in light or sandy soils.

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN — Very prolific, late; long
keeping variety, for planting in June and July: grows
large tubers, pure white; smooth, of good quality.
No other variety stands our hot climate as well. We
book orders now for shipment in June. Prices on
application.

ONE OUNCE POE ABOUT 2,000 PLANTS

LOUISIANA PINK — Wilt Resistant — Cross between
Purple Acme and Earliana, developed by the Louisiana
Experiment Station. It seems to have characteristics
of both parents, and is a very heavy bearer of uniform
smooth, pink, medium sized fruits. Skin is medium thick
and flesh is firm; seed cavity small with few seeds.
Medium early in ripening and especially resistant to wilt.
It is claimed to produce more on Louisiana wilt infested
lands than any other variety of wilt resistant Tomato.
This new variety is already in great demand in the
South. It was selected for 10 years by the Louisiana
Station for rust resistant before allowed for sale. Packet,
10c; oz., 35c; Oz., 60c; *4 lb., $2.00; Lb., $7.50.

PONDEROSA (Purple) — An exceptionally large, pur¬
ple-fruited tomato, and for the home use of the best;
fruits very solid, with few seeds. We have a very much
improved stock of this variety which lacks considerable
of the roughness and tendency to split which it form¬
erly possessed. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 40c; 2 ozs., 75c; lb.,
$1.25; 1 lb. , $4.50, postpaid.

NEW STONE (Deep Red) — The standard and general
favorite with truckers and canners ; always dependable,
very vigorous and productive; fruits round, large, solid,
smooth and deep red in color. The most popular of the
late or main crop sorts. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 25c;
2 ozs., 40c; % lb., 75c; 1 lb., $2.50, post
paid.

NORTON (Wilt-Resistant) — This variety
was selected from the famous Stone, produc¬
ing a heavy yield of large, smooth, solid, red
fruit which ripens medium early. It is some¬
what larger than the Stone, and is highly
recommended because of its wilt-resistant
features. The havoc wrought by wilt in to¬
matoes is serious, and if you have been dis¬
appointed in growing tomatoes because of
this disease, you will be interested in this
hardy, wilt-resistant sort. Pkt., 10c; oz.,
50c; \i lb., $1.50; lb., $5.50, postpaid.
RED FIELD BEAUTY — The fruits in clus¬
ters of three to five and are as regular in

Sow inside in boxes or in hotbeds where the
temperature is about 65 degrees. Transplant when
3 in. high to 3x3 in. each way. Transplanting will
make an abundance of fibrous roots and also stocky
plants. Plant outdoors when all danger of frost is
past in rows 4 feet apart and 3 feet apart in row.
Sunny exposure and fairly rich soil is best. Trim
off part of foliage to expose tomato to the sun.

GULF STATE MARKET— Gulf State Market is
earlier than any other purple tomato; the vines are
exceptionally robust. This makes it less susceptible
to blight than other varieties, with the probability
of a perfect stand and perfect yield when weather
conditions are favorable. Our tests this past season
were very satisfactory in this respect. However, in some
sections, in extreme drouth it showed a little wilt, but in
our opinion Gulf State Market is about 75 per cent
wilt resistant. It grows low and close together, permit¬
ting the tops to be trimmed to advantage; fruit is al¬
most true globe shape, entirely free from cracks, blem¬
ishes about the blossom end; fruit on the same cluster
ripens unifdrmly, making it an economical variety to
pick. Pkt., 10c; % oz., 25c; 1 oz., 40c; 2 ozs., 75c;

Success in the cultivation of flowers from seeds de¬
pends to a great extent on the earlier operations. Much
of the disappointment and failure that attends this pur¬
suit may be avoided by carefully noting the class to
which each belongs and then following the appropriate
culture. Generally speaking, brief culture directions are
printed on every packet of seed sold, and in some in¬
stances they prove sufficient, but we here offer a few
suggestions which may be helpful to beginners.

The first and most essential requisite is Reliable Seeds.

Next, a suitable soil. That best suited for flower cul¬
ture is a rich loam containing enough sand to make it
porous. A large portion of the summer flowers are An¬
nuals. As they do not take kindly to transplanting, it
is best to sow seed where the plants are to bloom. Sow
from March until June in dry soil previously fertilized
by bone meal, sheep manure, or similar stimulants. Make
a broad but shallow depression in which to sow the seeds
as thinly and evenly as possible and cover in proportion
to the size of the seed. Very small seeds should not be
covered. Press them into the soil with a flat board. The
seedlings should be thinned out during moist or dull
weather.

HALF HARDY ANNUALS— Towards the end of
March seeds of this class may be sown in the place
where they are to bloom. It is advisable, however, to
sow the seeds in February and March indoors, either in
pans, shallow boxes or pots. When the little plants have
made three or four leaves, reset them in another box so
they may be strong and sturdy to set in the garden at
planting time. Occasional watering with weak liquid
sheep manure is beneficial.

HARDY PERENNIALS — These may be sown in
open borders any time from April to October. BI¬
ENNIALS require treatment similar to hardy peren¬
nials. By sowing seeds in boxes or pots in cold frames
in February and March and transplanting the seedlings
to a north border, a much earlier bloom will be secured.

The seeds of perennials usually germinate slowly.

Giant Flowering Zinnias

The Most Brilliant, Showy and Satisfactory Flower For The South

CULTURE — Seeds in this section can be sown from
March to Sept. Zinnias can be planted in boxes for
earlier blooming and transplanted out in open when
weather permits, but if you want the best results
wait until proper time for outdoor planting as stated
above for our experience has proven that the largest
and best blooms are produced when seeds are sown
out in beds or borders where wanted. Transplanting
has a tendency to stunt the plants and decrease in
size the blooms. Remember Zinnias need well drained
rich soil to produce the best results and even the
best seeds will not prove satisfactory on poor soil.
Sheep Manure is a wonderful fertilizer for use in
your Zinnia beds. Remember our Zinnia Seeds are
grown for us by the best growers both in this country
and Europe.

Sviperb Spencer Sweet Peas

Sow in January, February, March or April. Cover seed 2 to 4
inches, according to depth of your trench. The soil for Sweet
Peas should be rich and deep, with plenty of well rotted manure
in it. Wizard Brand Sheep Manure is especially fine. Heavy
soils must be well worked and fertilized some time before sowing
the seed. On high and dry soils they may he sown in drills
from 4 to 6 inches deep, covered with an inch or two of soil
pressed firmly, and the furrow filled in as the plants grow. When
the seed is well above t.he ground, th6 little plants should be
thinned out so as to be at least from 2 to 4 inches apart. It is
a mistake to bow too thick, but it is well to allow for seeds
which may rot in the ground or be destroyed by cutworms. In
low, damp soils the seed should only be planted an inch and a
half or two inches deep, or they will rot during the process of
germinating.

The Best of Grasses

For those desiring a permanent lawn we are listing below only those mixtures that are beyond
question the best obtainable. With these high grade seeds you can either thicken the present lawn
or plant an entirely new one. The pasture grasses are well known and do not need a lengthy
introduction, being selected with great care for their vitality and thrifty growing qualities.

LAWN SEED — It is often difficult to get a good lawn
in the South because it has been found that no one
grass will give satisfactory results at all seasons and on
all soils in varied localities. Experiments have proven
the value of combining various grasses that will produce
an evergreen lawn, giving permanency and beauty of
sward. Sow one pound to every 225 square feet, on
well enriched, deeply prepared seed bed. An applica¬
tion of bone meal three or four times a year will keep
the lawn rich in color. A top dressing of sheep manure
will keep the lawn healthy and vigorous.

SPECIAL MIXTURES FOR THE SOUTH

SUNNY SOUTH LAWN GRASS— 1 lb. sows 225
square feet; 40 to 50 lbs. sows 1 acre. It is composed
of robust-growing grasses and is a satisfactory mixture
for parks or large places where lawn and grazing are to
be combined, or where special care cannot be given. This
mixture will stand dry, hot weather better than the
finer lawn grasses. 1 lb., 60c; parcel post paid.

SHADY SPOT LAWN GRASS— A special mixture of
grasses adapted to growing under trees and in shady
places where it is difficult to get other grasses to grow.
1 lb., 60c, parcel post paid.

PERMANENT PASTURE GRASS MIXTURE—

Furnishes pasture all the season from early Spring
through the Winter. Sow in early Spring or Fall, using
1% bushels to the acre. Lb., 35c, parcel post paid.

PERMANENT MEADOW GRASS MIXTURE — A

special mixture for sL lasting hay crop. Sow in spring
or fall, using 1% bushels to the acre. Lb., 35c; parcel
post paid.

ITALIAN RYE — Recommended principally for fall
planting, but can also be sown early in the spring. A
very quick growing grass. It is an annual and requires
seeding each year. It should be cut when in bloom for
hay. Splendid for pasture and lawn mixtures with other
grasses. Sow at the rate of two to three bushels to
the acre. 1 lb., 30c, postpaid.

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS — This famous grass is
well known in all sections and. where the land is suitable,
is one of the most profitable of all for pasture. It grows
well on any stiff or loamy soils in central and northern
states where rich, moist, though moderately well drained,
and succeeds fairly well in some sections of the South,
where lime is present in the soil, being largely used with
Bermuda Grass. Kentucky Blue Grass is at its best
in the spring and fall months, but being rather sensi¬
tive to heat, does not grow luxuriantly during the sum¬
mer months. It takes a considerable time to get a good
stand of this, as it grows very slowly at the start;
when once established forms a close, compact turf, mak¬
ing a fine pasture; also fine for lawns. 1 lb., 50c, post¬
paid

CARPET GRASS — Excellent for lawns or pasture pur¬
poses on coast and all sandy lands Grows equally as
well on uplands. It stays green all year. Stools heavily
from one parent stalk and spreads rapidly. Blades are
wide and give fine forage, and, when well set. forms
thick, green carpet that cannot be uprooted by any
amount of grazing. Sow 7 to 10 pounds to acre broad¬
cast. 1 lb., 50c, postpaid.

ENGLISH BLUE GRASS (Me-adow Fescue or Randall

Grass) — A splendid grass for permanent pastures, start¬
ing early and also furnishing excellent pasture very late
in the season. It also makes good hay, growing on
almost any soil, thriving best in that which is moist.
Per lb., 45c, postpaid.

PERMANENT HOG PASTURE GRASS MIXTURE

— A combination of mixed clover and best grass suitable
for hog pasture. Sow in early Spring or Fall at rate
of 1 bushel to the acre. Lb., 40c, parcel post paid.

TIMOTHY AND ALSIKE MIXED — Suitable mixture
for wet lands, furnishing good pasture and hay. Sow in
early Spring and Fall. 15 pounds of the mixed seed per
acre. Lb., 35c, parcel post paid.

Red Top

ENGBXSH BYE — Very valuable
variety for permanent pasture, also
for lawn purposes. It makes a
very heavy leaf growth for pasture
or hay. Withstands drouth to a
remarkable degree. Used extens¬
ively throughout our section for
lawns. Use it in Bermuda sod to
keep the lawn green during the
fall, winter and early spring, when
the Bermuda is dormant. Sow
from September until March at
the rate of two to three bushels to
the acre. 1 lb., 30c, postpaid.

JOHNSON GRASS— A most pro¬
lific perennial hay and pasture
grass, eminently suitable to hot,
dry climate and soils. It makes
excellent hay and furnishes an
enormous amount of grazing. No
drouth, methods of culture or ap¬
plication of chemicals to eradicate
it will destroy it when once sown,
therefore, we do not recommend it
to be sown on any land which is
intended in future years for other
crops. The best time for cutting
is before the heads appear, as, if
allowed to ripen, it becomes unfit
for stock. Sow in March or April,
1 to 1*4 bushels per acre. 1 lb.,
35c, postpaid.

RHODES GRASS — It is a per¬
ennial, growing from three to four
feet high, with large numbers of
very long, narrow and tender
leaves, and with rather a few
branching seed spikes or slender
branching stems. It is a species
that does not spread by under
ground root-stalks, but produces
running branches which root at
the joints or nodes, thereby pro¬
ducing new plants. The runners
are not so abundant when the
grass is growing thickly, and,
therefore, does not materially in¬
terfere with the machinery at the
time of harvesting the hay crop.
Per lb., 75c, postpaid.

PASPA1UM DID A TATUM or
DALLAS GRASS — Sow eight to
ten pounds to the acre. Has given
splendid results in the South. It
is an ideal grass for dairy farm¬
ers, as it produces enormous quan¬
tities of fresh, green, juicy feed
during the hottest weather. It
also keeps green during the winter.
Germinates slowly and requires
from three to four weeks of warm,
moist weather to sprout. Plant
from November to March. 8
pounds per acre. Lb., 60c, ppd.

ORCHARD GRASS — This is one of the very best
grasses for upland, loamy or moderately stiff soils, af¬
fording a large amount of pasturage as well as making
excellent hay if cut. when in bloom. It grows about 3
feet high and matures much earlier than Timothy, does
not exhaust the. soil and will produce 2 to 3 tons per
acre of fine hay. Having a tendency to grow in clumps,
it does better if sown thickly. 1*4 to 2 bushels being
the amount usually sown. It does especially well if
used with other grasses. 1 lb., 35c, postpaid.

BERMUDA GRASS — Very popular and a great boon
in the South for pasture; when once established, no
amount of drouth or hot weather will kill it out. It
succeeds on nearly all soils, furnishing a constant growth
of grass during the Summer, but becomes brown and
bare in the Pall and Winter. It cannot be recommended
too highly for pasture and general culture in the South,
and it is also excellent for Summer lawns. Its strong,
creeping roots will absolutely prevent wash. Per lb.,
60c, postpaid.

TAIiB MEADOW OAT GRASS — A tall growing grass
with flat leaves. It has proven very hardy and may be
sown either in the fall or spring. It will do well on
wpodland pastures where it is possible to prepare the
soil, thoroughly. Ready to cut for hay as soon as it
blooms. A good stand can be cut two or three times a
season; 30 lbs. of seed to the acre. 1 lb., 45c, postpaid.

TIMOTHY — <No grass is better known than this, nor
more generally grown, as it produces the best hay of
all grasses, but is of little value for pasture. It pro¬
duces good hay on almost any class of land, but in this
section is best suited to bottom lands or good, well-
drained soil. Yields about 1 y2 to 2 tons hay to acre.
1 lb., 20c, postpaid.

SUDAN GRASS — A forage crop of immense value.
Sudan is an annual, therefore it is necessary to sow
every year. Plant grows tall, 7 to 8 feet, stems very
small and tender, stools wonderfully; makes fine hay
and much relished by stock. Yields 2 to 4 tons per
acre. Sow in April, in drills or broadcast, using 3
pounds to the acre, having drills 3 feet apart, and
cultivate. If sown broadcast, 14 to 20 pounds will
plant an acre. Sudan can be cut two or three times
during the season. 1 lb., 25c, postpaid.

RED TOP OR HERDS GRASS— Succeeds better on
more soils than any other grass and in all sections of
the United States. Grows slowly but becomes very vig¬
orous later and spreads rapidly into a compact sod.
Suitable to stiff soils and in low situations subject to
overflow, producing luxuriant growth, attaining a height
of 3 to 3 y2 feet. For the best quality it should be cut
when in bloom; ripens about the same as Timothy. 1
lb., 40c, postpaid.

A Field of Burr Clover

HIGH GRADE CLOVER

ALFALFA CLOVER — This Clover is being more large¬
ly planted in the South every year. When thoroughly
established can be cut three or four times a year, yield¬
ing heavily each cutting. Soil must be thoroughly pre¬
pared by deep plowing and harrowing until it is in fine
condition. Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. Spring seedings
may be made during March and April, and in the fall
during September and October on any good soil if
properly drained.

FANCY KANSAS ALFALFA — This represents our
idea of a real quality and genuine worth in Alfalfa —
something to meet all requirements of our most discrim¬
inating customers. Lb., 40c, parcel post paid.
DAKOTA NO. 12 ALFALFA- This variety is the re¬
sult of years of careful breeding and represents the
highest type of Alfalfa. Dakota produces exceptionally
hardy Alfalfa, practically immune to Winter killing.
Stands drouth and heat as well. Highly recommended
by Mississippi Experiment Station at Stoneville. Our
seed is the genuine Dakota No. 12 stock. Lb., 50c,
parcel post paid.

BED CLOVER — -A valuable farm crop, largely used for
pasturage and soil improvement. Yields two to three
cuttings per year. First crop makes rich feed and is

Alfalfa

most valuable for hay. Clover draws nitrogen from the

air largely and is one of the best soil renovating crops.
Clover, intelligently used, is the farmer’s best friend.
Should be used as a rotation crop. Sow in fall or
spring. 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. Lb., 60c, postpaid.
MAMMOTH SAPLING CLOVER — Very much like
the common Red Clover, but larger, heavier and later.
Recommended for thin soils. Sow 10 to 12 pounds to
the acre. Lb., 60c, postpaid.

JAPAN CLOVER (Lespedeza Striata) — To obtain a
good stand, disc-harrow your land, then scatter the seed
on top, roll the field ; this will cover them enough. Sow
in March or April. Seeds weigh 25 pounds per bushel.
Sow 20 to 25 pounds per acre. Grows anywhere; is
tenacious in any soil; lasts always; well known in the
South. It may be classed among the most valuable
hay and pasture plants in the South. 1 lb., 40c, post¬
paid.

AIiSIKE CLOVER — Thrives well on damp soils or in
situations where it is impossible to secure a catch of
Red Clover. Because seed goes so much further than
Red Clover, and because of its comparatively reasonable
price this year, many farmers are giving Alsike the
preference. It is also largely sown with Timothy. Sow
6 to 8 pounds to the acre in the spring. 1 lb., 40c, postpaid.
MELILOTUS or SWEET CLOVER — A variety of clover which, when
young, resembles alfalfa, but on mature development grows from 4 to 6
feet in height. It is extremely vigorous and especially adapted to waste
lands, though by many prominent farmers and stock raisers is used on good
land for a crop forage. It is very vigorous in growth, standing frost and
drouth remarkably well, the top root penetrating the soil very deeply, and
occasionally used as a drainage plant for wet soils. It will grow on almost
any barren hillside in bottoms, and is equally adapted to all good farm¬
ing lands. Sweet Clover is one of the most valuable crops for bees, being
the main honey plant in many sections. We handle only the white blos¬
som variety, which we consider the best. Sow 15 lbs. per acre. Hulled
seed. 1 lb., 35c, postpaid.

BURR CLOVER — An annual variety which is sown in August and Sep¬
tember. Makes superior pasturage, fair hay, and if turned under the fol¬
lowing spring, acts as a splendid fertilizer. Grows on any thin land. Sow
10 pounds fancy hulled seed or 20 pounds in the burr, to the acre. Hulled,
1 lb., 40c; in burr, 1 lb., 25c, postpaid.

WHITE CLOVER— This variety is extremely valuable for permanent
grass mixtures or those prepared for grazing land. It will stand more
grazing than any other clover. As the growth is short it has no value in
a hay crop. Much is used in lawns. Sow in spring, 4 to 6 pounds per
acre. 1 lb., 75c, postpaid.

CRIMSON CLOVER — Makes excellent green foliage, or if cut when in
bloom will make good hay. Especially valuable for improving the soil,
making a quick, heavy and very valuable crop for plowing under. Sow
15 pounds to the acre from July to November. Lb., 25c, postpaid.
HTJBAN CERTIFIED SWEET CLOVER— The new annual Sweet
Clover of the White Blossom type. It is excellent for land improvement
and also for hay. It makes a luxurious pasture and is relished by all
kinds of stock. Owing to its earliness and profusion of fragrant blooms it
is very valuable for bee raisers. 1 lb., 60c, postpaid.

SOY OR SOJA BEANS

The Soy Bean is a legume, and in nutritive value is equal
to Red Clover. As a soil improver, it is excellent. This plant
will grow on a wide variety of soils, but the richer the soil
the larger the yield of forage.

The land should be prepared as for cow peas, and the seed
planted in drills at a sufficient distance to permit one or two
cultivations. One bushel of seed will plant two or three acres,
the amount depending on the distance between the rows. The
planting should be shallow, never more than one inch, or many
of the seed will decay. This is a very important point to re¬
member. Inoculation with soil from any old soy bean field is
not usually necessary. If wanted for hay the crop should be
cut when the upper leaves begin to turn yellow, but if wanted
for seed the gathering should be delayed until nearly all the
leaves have fallen. The hay is easily cured and is nearly as
nutritious as Alfalfa hay. The seed planted in drills at a
sufficient distance to permit cultivation, using y2 bushel of seed
per acre. It is also sown broadcast at the rate of one bushel
to the acre. Soy Beans may follow a crop of rye or barley.
Sowing thickly will prevent the stalks from growing too coarse,
and will enable them to be harvested and cured to better ad¬
vantage. Drill in corn rows. One peck to the acre will help
the soil and make fine hog pasture.

MAMMOTH YELLOW SOY BEANS— The largest growing
and most popular of Soja Beans for forage purposes. A little
later in maturity than other kinds, but makes larger yields,
both of forage and seed. Qt., 30c, parcel post paid.
OOTOOTAN SOY BEANS — This is the most remark¬
able and most valuable addition to Southern agricul¬
ture for many years. A Hawaiian bean. It is a beautiful
fast growing plant growing from 4 to 5 feet high, hav¬
ing fine stems and delicate leaves. It cures quickly and
makes a hay of fine texture and splendid quality. For
hay and grain combined the Ootootan is in a class by
itself. The bean itself is quite small and jet black. One-
half-peck plants an acre. Can be planted any time from
April 1st to August 1st. Qt., 50c, parcel post paid.

BILOXI SOY BEANS— This bean is different from all
other Soys, being large® in type and usually over 6 feet
high, wide branching with much foliage. This extra
foliage is of great advantage for the silo, for soil renew¬
ing, etc. Stems are large, but hollow and cure easily.

Pods scatter seed very little; two weeks later than the
Mammoth Yellow. A rank grower and fine for fall pas¬
turing, seed production and planting in corn for silage.

One bushel usually plants 4 to 5 acres, three-fourths
of a bushel broadcast. Price, 40c per qt., postpaid.

LABEDO SOY BEANS — The new Laredo Soy Bean,
after a thorough test, has proven to be the best all
around Soy Bean and practically immune to root knot.

The Laredo is different from any other variety. Plants
get up a few inches high and stool out like oats and
each individual plant sends us six to fifteen very fine
branches making it one of the very best hay beans.
Similar in some respects to O-Too-Tan in regard to seed,
however, are a little smaller, black and flat. Very
early. One bushel will plant about twelve acres in 2%
foot rows, 3 to 4 seeds to the foot in drills so the cost
per acre is not so high in comparison to the other Soys.

1 quart, 50c, postpaid.

VIRGINIA — On account of its abundant growth and
large yield of beans the Virginia makes most excellent
hay and ensilage. As itl is about 20 days earlier than
Mammoth Yellow, it can be grown further North and
throughout the corn belt. The vines make a fine growth,
are filed with pods, stand about 3 feet high, are easy
to cut and easy to cure. The stems being fine and the
leafage profuse adapts it particularly well for hay mak¬
ing. Qt., 50c; parcel post paid.

Ootootan Soy Beans

VELVET BEANS

Velvet Beans make an enormous growth of vines;
greater, in fact, than any other known forage plant, in
the same length of time, far surpassing the cow pea in
yield. Velvet Beans are usually planted in rows 4 to 5
feet apart, at the rate of about half a bushel per acre.
As a soil improver they are considered superior to cow
peas, as they make so much larger growth and so much
heavier amount of foliage. The proportion of nitrogen
contained in the vines is about the same as in cow peas,
and as the yield is so much greater, the total amounts
of nitrogen and humus added to the soil are correspond¬
ingly larger. A crop of three tons will add as much
nitrogen to the soil as will a ton of cotton-seed meal,
while the amount of humus will be three times as great.

EARLY BIRD SPECKLED — This early speckled Vel¬
vet Bean is a variety that matures in 90 to 100 days,
and can be grown in almost any part of the South.
The Early Bird Bean may be planted in April or IVLay,
in the drill with corn, or in rows close to the corn, pre¬
ferably after a rain, and cover shallow. The cultivation
of the corn does the rest. The beans will begin to
mature in July and will about have finished maturing
October 1st, or before frost in any section of the South¬
ern states. 1 quart, 30c, postpaid.

OSCEOIiA — This new velvet bean has several advan¬
tages over the early speckled varieties. It is free from
the stinging fuzz or velvet on the pods, which makes the
other varieties unpleasant to handle. Large beans and
pods make them less expensive to gather, and is also
much earlier than most of the other beans. It is two
weeks earlier than the other beans. It is two weeks
earlier than the 100-day. Commences to get ripe about
September 1st, and largely ripened by September 15th;
all ripe last September. Will make 25 per cent more
beans than the 100-day. Blooms mostly purple. 1 qt.,
35c, postpaid.

com in existence; the stalks are tall, bearing 3 to 5 fine
ears. The grains are long, set close to a small cob, very
uniform in shape well filled. It has good roots and will
withstand storms better than any other prolific sort. An¬
other important feature of this fine corn is its abundant
foliage, which renders it superior to most sorts for en¬
silage purposes. This is a Southern corn, and is recom¬
mended for general crop. It is purely white, small cob,
deep full grain neither too hard nor too soft, and stands
crowding in the drill as close again as any other kind.

Mosby’s Prolific

MEXICAN JUNE — This is a valuable addition to our
large and selected list of field corn, best adapted for
the South, has been thoroughly tested in the past and
has proven all that was claimed for it. It is a strong,
robust grower, sending the roots deep into the soil.
Stands heat and drouth well. Ears large, small grain
and well covered with shucks. Should be planted in
succession from middle of .April to end of July. Qt.,
25c; 4 qts., 70c, postpaid.

LAGUNA, MEXICAN JUNE CORN— This is the true
Mexican June Corn distributed by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture to our grower and far superior in every
way to the common Mexican June Corn in that it is
largely a two-earned variety, considerably softer, with
much larger ears and grain. It is a true drouth-resister,
our grower having made profitable crops in 1924. when
all other varieties on the same place burned up. He has
made 76 bu. per acre, on good ground, planted as late
as July 3rd and fine crops planted as early as March
1st, in^ the Yazoo Delta. Quart, 35c; 4 quarts, $1.00,
postpaid.

HICKORY KING (100 days) — The cob is so small and
the grain is so large that when an ear is broken in half
one grain will cover the entire end of the cob. Nearly
all of the stalks bear two ears, and we consider it one
of the best white corns grown. Does well on thin land.
Qt., 25c; 4 qts., 70c, postpaid.

sure to give satisfaction. Quart, 30c; 4 quarts, 75c,
postpaid.

MORTGAGE LIPTER — A large-eared variety of yel¬
low corn. Matures medium early, about 90 days; a big
yielder. The ears are well filled with bright yellow
grains of fair size. Quart, 25c; 4 qts., 70c, postpaid.
REID’S EARLY YELLOW DENT — This is a leading
standard yellow variety, originated in Illinois many years
ago, and is a type that experts have failed to change
for the better. In our opinion this is the most popular
variety of yellow corn grown in the United States. We
offer fine stock of this leading standard variety, which
is among the best all around purpose Yellow Dent Corn
grown. Color deep yellow, with lighter cap. Grain very

Selected Cotton Seed

To the Cotton grower there is nothing quite as impor¬
tant as the selection of the proper seed for his soil and
conditions, and when the variety is chosen that it should
be also selected for its vigor and cotton production pedi¬
gree and our offerings are selected for these attributes.
Almost every seed must be changed every few years or it
“runs out” and does not give the crop it should. Even
though you make no change in the variety new seed will
much more than repay its aditional cost.

See page 66 for quantity price on Cotton Seed.

WANNAMAKER CLEVELAND- Especially recom¬
mended for sections where the boll weevil is present.
Plant is vigorous, thrifty, with low close-jointed basal
fruit limbs ; large bolls, easily picked, medium-sized
seeds, grayish to greenish. The lint runs 34 to 38 per
cent, is fine and strong, 1 to 1-16 inches long.

DELPOS COTTON SEED — If you are interested in
pure Delfos Cotton Seed, selected types of 6102 or
631, we advise you to book your order early as the
supply is limited and we have started selling early
this year. Delta Station, Mississippi, produced the
wonderful Delfos 6102 after constant breeding for over
a period of ten years and they truly produced one of
the best types yet produced. Delfos produces a plant
not over four feet high and it has held that standard
of height on the strongest Delta lands. It sets its
fruit early on numerous lateral branches, beginning close
to the ground. As it is very close jointed it will in¬
variably produce a bowl to each joint. The foliage of
Delfos Cotton is very light, resembling the willow leaf
butter bean. The staple of type is practically speakim?
5 3-16 to 1 % full. Delfos Cotton will mature in about
100 days and its estimated lint is from 31 to 33 1-3
per cent. The respective differences in the two types
as we find them to be are as follows: 6102 — Bowls un¬
right, better for strong lands; 631 — Bowls turned down,
better for poor lands.

ACALA No. 6 COTTON — Has given the most satis¬
factory results. It has proven to be a large boll variety
and very early. The plant is of' medium height with
strong main stalk. The bolls large size, ovate-oblong
with short blunt point. The lint will puli strong 1 1-8
inch and the percentage of lint will average 33 1-3. It
is considered one of the most desirable sorts to plant
in sections infested by the boll weevil.

EXFBESS 350 — Express 350 is the best variety to
use now, under weevil conditions, that is available in
commercial quantities. Under favorable conditions it
will mature in 90 to 100 days, being the best early
staple cotton available. It pulls a full 1 3-16 inch staple
of very even length, and will gin out 29 to 30 per cent
lint.

SALSBUEY PEDIGREED — This cotton is a cross

between Wannamaker Cleveland and Express. The
strong points of Salsbury cotton are these: It has the
best staple of any short cotton grown and brings a
premium ; it is very early ; it is disease resistant ; has
medium foliage; it is fast blooming and sets bolls early;
it is very prolific; easy to pick and has large bolls;
makes on our upland sandy lands a staple above one
inch, in the Delta 1 1-8 to 1 3-16 ; has good ginning
percentage; a magnificent quality of lint; high spinning
value ; the strongest lint ever produced.

ME BANE EARLY TRIUMPH — For several years
there has been an increasing demand for a tough-fibre-
cotton of medium staple; something between the ordi¬
nary short varieties and long staples. Mebane Triumph
is ideal in this respect; pulls from 1 1-16 to 1 1-8 inches,
has a strong, tough fibre, storm-proof and makes a good
“bender” cotton, bringing good premium in price. Extra
large boll, easy to pick, drouth resistant, lint out-turn
at gin 37 to 39 per cent, and one of the earliest of the
extra big boll cottons.

Half and Half

KING’S EARLY IMPROVED — A very early, small
seeded variety, matures two weeks earlier than any
other sort and nearly always thirds itself. On account
of its extreme earliness it is largely planted in the boll
weevil infested sections, as it matures most of its crop
before the weevil makes its appearance.

HALF AND HALF— We recommend Half and Half
the most valuable sort staple cotton ever developed to
planters who prefer a short staple, or have the boll
weevil to contend with. It is earlier than King’s, and
stands drouth better than the average varieties. On
fertile land, with good seasons, its lint will run as high
as 50 per cent. The staple is about 1 inch. We feel
sure that anyone who plants Half and Half the coming
season will be more than pleased.

SIMPKINS EARLY PROLIFIC — Originated also in

Carolina by W. A. Simpkins, and like King’s Improved,
from the old Sugar Loaf; in fact, King’s and Simpkins
are very similar in many ways — about the same shape
and size plants; same size boll ; extra early maturity
and very prolific — hence its name. — When you are look¬
ing for an extra early heavy yielding, short cotton, try
this variety.

Tennessee Golden

MILLET

Millet makes a large-yielding and most nutritions hay
crop, quick growing and easily cured. It, however, re¬
quires to be seeded thickly — not less than 1 bushel per
acre and the crop should always be cut while in bloom,
before seed hardens in the head. If the seed is allowed
to form the stalks get hard and it does not make nearly
as good hay, and at the same time is more exhaustible
to the land. Can be sown any time from the middle of
April to the end of July. Do not sow too early.
TENNESSEE GOLDEN — Our Southern grown millet
makes much better growth than the Western grown seed.
This true Tennessee grown, a type that produces better
quality, grows taller and gives a larger yield of very
nutritious hay, is a quick grower. It should be cut for
hay when it begins to show the heads. Plant from April
to August. The sowing of Southern Millet with cow-
peas for a hay crop is increasing in favor each year.
When this is done, use an early variety, such as Whip-
poor-will or New Era, sowing about 3-4 to a bushel of
millet with one bushel of Peas to an acre. Lb., 20c,
postpaid.

WESTERN GOLDEN — This variety is very similar to
the Tennessee Golden; however, it does not produce quite
as much hay, and the heads are not quite so large. Lb.,
20c, postpaid.

PEARL or CAT-TAIL — Is largely used for dairymen.
Furnishing them green food throughout the summer.
Should not be planted before May in warm soils, as it
is a tropical plant, when it has reached the height of
three to four feet, it will stool out enormously and make
a rapid growth. In this way 3 or 4 cuttings a season
can be obtained. It can be fed either green or cured
as dried forage, making a most nutritious feed which is
relished by all kinds of stock. Sow 5 pounds per acre
in drills 3 feet apart or broadcast at the rate of 20 to
80 pounds per acre. Lb., 35c, parcel post paid.
JAPANESE or BARNYARD MILLET — This is a for¬
age plant of great value, growing in most any soil. It
has been known to produce 3 to 5 tons of fodder if
planted early. After second cutting it will afford a
pasturage all the fall. It is relished by all stock, and
is sometimes called the Billion Dollar Grass. 1 lb.,
80c, postpaid.

KAFFIR CORN, MILO MAIZE

WHITE ZAFFIR — Grows 4 to 5 feet high. The stems
are very leafy and keep green and brittle, unlike other
sorghums, which harden. Makes excellent fodder, either
green or dried. For fodder, sow from % to 1 bushel,
either broadcast or in drills. Lb., 25c, postpaid.
RED KAFFIR — Grows taller than the white; stalks
slender, juicy and very leafy. Ripens earlier than that
of the white and yields much heavier. Lb., 25c, parcel
post paid.

YELLOW MILO MAIZE— A non-saccharine sorghum
of high value. It is a vigorous grower, of deep green
color, attaining a height of 8 to 10 feet. Plant in April,
May or June, 6 to 8 pounds of seed to an acre in drills.
Lb., 20c, parcel post paid.

EGYPTIAN WHEAT or SHALLU-A valuable new
grain, entirely different from wheat. The heads are
large and heavy. All stock love it, and do well. It makes
hens lay better than any poultry food. It will stand
more wet or dry weather than maize or cane. Plant in
drills 3 feet apart, using ten pounds of seed per acre,
or broadcast, using from 2 to 4 bushels. Lb., 35c, par¬
cel post paid.

FETERITA — This wonderful new non-saccharine sor¬
ghum is somewhat similar to Kaffir Corn, with the ex¬
ception that the grains are somewhat larger and softer
than Kaffir corn, and it is preferred by many on this
account for feed in the head. It is about undoubtedly
the most drouth-resisting of any of the sorghum family.
Sow in April or May in drills, 5 pounds to thei acre.
Lb., 25c, parcel post paid.

SORGHUM OR CANE SEED

TEXAS SEEDED RIBBON — This cane gets its name
from being a variety that closely resembles the true
Ribbon Cane, raised from cuttings. It makes the fin¬
est kind of syrup. Lb., 25c, parcel post paid.
JAPANESE HONEY — This variety of cane is with
out a doubt the best all-around cane for the Southern
farmers. It is the very best syrup producer of all of
the varieties and is also a splendid forage crop for
green feeding, making excellent hay if sown in drills
very thick, and may be planted any time between April
and August. It grows 10 to 12 feet high and is very
prolific, sometimes producing five to seven stalks from one
seed. Matures about the middle of August to October,
owing to time of planting, but will keep green and stand,
if desired, until killed by frost, allowing the farmer to
take his own time to harvest for syrup. As a syrup pro¬
ducer it has no equal, being exceedingly juicy and
sweet, making from 200 to 400 gallons per acre, highly
flavored. Lb., 25c, parcel post paid.

EARLY ORANGE — A variety well adapted for the
South. It is from 8 to 10 days later than the Early
Amber. Largely used for hay and fodder. Lb., 20c,
parcel post paid.

EARLY AMBER — Farmers and stockmen say that the
Early Amber is the most valuable fodder plant in exist¬
ence. It is profitably grown from Manitoba to Mexico
on any good corn ground, and it is but little affected by
drouth. Lb., 20c, parcel post paid.

RED TOP SORGHUM — Grown extensively in Middle
Tennessee. Very sweet and one of the best for hay.
Lb., 20c, parcel post paid.

PEANUTS

Prepare the ground well, laying it off in rows with
a shovel plow; the rows should be ZV2 feet apart,
and put two kernels to the hill, which are about one
foot apart. Cultivate thoroughly and keep the land
as level as possible. One and one-half bushels of
unshelled nuts will seed an acre.

SPANISH — In addition to their value for growing for nuts
these are very largely used in the South as a forage and fat¬
tening crop for hogs and other stock. They are early to ma¬
ture very productive, and in the far South, where they can
be planted during March and April, two crops can be made
in one year, the second crop being planted early in July,
the tops making a hay crop and the nuts a grain crop. They
grow more compact than the Virginia Peanuts, making it
possible to grow them closer, making the cultivation easier
also. This variety frequently yields sixty bushels of market¬
able peanuts and two tons of hay per acre. Lb., 25c, post¬
paid.

TENNESSEE RED — The finest variety grown. Especially
adapted to the black, waxy land as well as the sandy soil.
The nuts contain three large kernels in each and are enor¬
mously productive. Lb., 30c, parcel post paid.

MAMMOTH WHITE VIRGINIA— Largest size; white va¬
riety. Lb., 30c, postpaid.

Spanish Peanuts

CLAY — Very similar to the Unknown but earlier; vig¬
orous growth ; very popular.

RED RIPPERS — One of the most prolific varieties of
cow peas. Vines grow long; make an abundance of hay.

is intended for soil improving; they will grow thicker
than separate varieties, producing better crop of vines
and forage.

age. Heavy seeder, grows well on light or
clay soils, produces tremendous quantity of
nitrogen nodules on its roots. Beans are ex¬
cellent for table use. Matures in 90 to 100
days, a little earlier than speckled pea, but
can be planted at any time and the same way
as cow peas. Plant grows upright like soja
bean, making it easy to cut with blade or ma¬
chine. Leaves stay on stalk well while being
handled. 1 lb., 50c, postpaid.

Bean) — Plant like com. in March and April;

loam. Qt., 55c, postpaid.

SAGRAIN

THE WONDER FORAGE CROF

Sagrain is planted in regular cotton width
rows, using about 7 pounds per acre. The
stalks should be left about 10 to 15 inches
apart in the drill depending upon the fertility
of the soil. All classes of live stock are very
fond of Sagrain. Some planters use corn
binders and feed direct from the shocks ; oth¬
ers put under shelter; still others cut the heads
from the standing stalks, using cane knives
and throwing the heads into wagons much the
same as pulling corn. In this manner a man
can cut as much Sagrain as he can pull corn.
Each stalk will make six to eight heads which
are equivalent to so many small ears of corn.

Sagrain has done well on heavy lands where
corn does not do well and has also given sat¬
isfactory yields on land too thin for corn.
Price, 1 lb., 35c; 7 lbs., enough to plant 1
acre, $1.75; parcel post paid.

COW PEAS

Sow in May, June and July, at the rate of one-half
bushel to the acre. The value of cow peas as a soil en-
richer is now well known. As fast as farmers under¬
stand the advantages of this plant as an agency through
which the value of their land may be greatly increased,
there will be more successful farmers and more profitable
farms. It adds nitrogen to the soil at less cost than any
other method. Cow peas make excellent hay.

how many you will need.

WHIPPOORWILL — A favorite early bunch-growing
variety. Seed is reddish brown speckled. A great fa¬

B BEAUTIFUL ROSES

Knowing the best types of roses for onr territory we have listed
a few that we find best for the Southland. Roses that we offer have
stood the test and are the types of roses that will grow and make
your rose garden more beautiful. The rose! is undoubtedly the most
universal favorite in the flower garden and is truly the queen of
flowers. Location, preparation and planting have so much to do with
success and I am devoting a few lines to the subject. The- bed should
never be over four and a half feet wide so that you can reach every
plant. A bed twenty-five feet long will be sufficient for forty-eight
hybrid tea or monthly roses planted sixteen inches apart.

Preparing the bed: If in sod, remove the sod; then one foot of
the top soil and lay to one side. Sandy soil or clay is the best types
of soils for roses. Add about one third well-rotted manure or a full
sack of Sheep manurej to twenty five foot bed to which should be
added about fifty pounds of bone meal. The soil and the fertilizers
should be well mixed before putting it back into the bed. Your rose
bed should never be located where the plants will be shaded as
roses want plenty of sunlight. Extreme care should be taken that

INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES. Continued

SCALECIDE

The Complete Dormant Spray

Scalecide is truly the complete dormant
spray. Applied in the fall it controls scale of all
kinds, bud-moth, pear psylla, peach leaf-curl,
fire blight cankers and fungous cankers. The
delayed dormant spray with Scalecide controls
scale, aphis, pear thrips, leaf miner, case bearer,
leaf roller, European red mite, bud-moth, fire
blight cankers and fungous cankers. And in ad¬
dition year after year use of Scalecide invigor¬
ates the trees. Scalecide is guaranteed to make
a better orchard than lime-sulfur.

Scalecide is pleasant to use; it does not in¬
jure even the eyes. It is non-poisonous. It saves
half the labor of spraying — a tankful of dilute
Scalecide goes as far as two tankfuls of dilute
lime-sulfur. Scalecide saves the cost of nicotine;
saves the cost of spreader; saves more than
three-fourths the freight and haulage. A fifteen
gallon drum of Scalecide covers the same trees
as a fifty-gallon barrel of lime-sulfur. Quart,
75c; 1 gal., $1.75; 5 gal., $6.25; 10 gal., $10.60;
30 gal. barrel $26.00, F. O. B. Vicksburg.

SULFOCIDE
A better summer spray

Sulfocide is a highly concentrated non-pois-
onou^ liquid sulfur fungicide — entirely distinct
from lime-sulfur. Within a few minutes after
the spray is applied and before it is dry, Sul¬
focide is decomposed by the action of the air
leaving a film of extremely fine sulfur in its
most active fungicidal form.

Briefly these are the reasons why Sulfo¬
cide is a better summer spray ; it does not russet
apples (bordeaux does) ; it does not devitalize
the foliage and dwarf the fruit (lime-sulfur
does) ; it can be used on both peaches and ap¬
ples and on all kinds of fruits and vegetables
(no other fungicide can). It imparts to the
fruit a beautiful luster and finish. It costs no
more than home-made bordeaux. 1 pt., 70c; 1
qt., $1.00; 1 gal., $2.75; 5 gal., $8.75, F. O. B.

RAX IS NOT A POISON

While it is absolutely
deadly to rats and mice, it
is harmless to human be-
i n g s, domestic animals,
poultry and birds. It may be
used anywhere with com¬
plete safety.

Rats Leave Before They Die
Within a few days after eating bait prepared
with Rax, rats and mice become feverish and
seek the open air where they die — outdoors.

How to Use Rax

Add water to the bottle and shake contents until water
is cloudy. Then moisten bait (bread, crackers or cheese)
with the mixture and place it near the holes. Rax does
not affect the taste of the bait.

Directions are furnished with each package. One bot¬
tle is enough for an ordinary house; allow one bottle to
each 500 feet of floor space in large barns, mills, eta.

Price, 75c per bottle, postpaid.

There are two styles of the Buckeye Incubator — the Buck¬
eye “Standard” and the Buckeye “Style E”. They are the re¬
sult of over thirty-five years of study and experiment, ^and
they include today every possible device for the promotion of
the highest efficiency in incubation. There are no other* incu¬
bators like them. They will hatch more chicks and better chicks
than any other incubator in the world. Buckeye “Standard”
Incubators are made with a double-thick case, the outer layer
of which is California Redwood. Heat insulation is practically
perfect. The hot water circulating tank is of pure copper — it
will never rust or corrode. The automatic regrflator is the most
perfect device of its kind ever invented. It assures the uniform
temperature essential to proper incubation at all times and with¬
out any attention whatever. The lamp is supplied with either an
oil or gas burner — each one efficient economical in operation,
dependable and fire-proof. Buckeye “Style E” Incubators are
a little more inexpensively constructed and a little less ex¬
pensive in price — but they contain all the essential features
of Buckeye design.

BUCKEYE STANDARD COLONY STOVE
BROODER

The most remarkable coal-burning brooder ever invented.
It is self-feeding, self -regulating simple, safe and everlasting.
Cuts the cost of equipment and cost of operation to less than
half. Reduces the time and labor to less than a fourth. Simple
as a kitchen range, Broods from 100 to 1000 chicks. Write for

lighting an ordinary house lamp. No priming needed and no
special education required to operate it. Produces greater vol¬
ume of heat with smaller consumption of |oil. Will not use
more than gallon of oil in 24 hours. Large channels guard
against stopping oil supply and assure continuous heat. In

V. S. C. Certified Sweet Potato Plants

Ask The Man Who Has Planted Them. He Will Tell You There Are None Better.

We have had so many
customers remark to us
about the fine potato
slips we were supplying
them that it prompted
us to make the above
statements about our
slips. Our slips are pro¬
duced from seed that
have been thoroughly in¬
spected for disease and
we believe that no one
can supply you with
slips that are better.

Furthermore this past
season when slips were

scarce we do not believe we disappointed one of our customers. Filling all our orders on date
wanted and this with the quality of slips would in our opinion prompt you to send us your order
for 1927. We can supply PORTO RICAS and Nancy Hall Slips.

Prices Certified Slips either kind 500 for $2.25; one thousand for $4.00, postpaid. By express
not prepaid 500 for $2.00; one thousand for $3.76. Write for prices on larger quantities.
