Grove Park Evergreen Lawn Grass

The basis of Grove Park Lawn Mixture is
Kentucky Blue Grass to which is added White
Dutch Clover and a number of quick growing
and valuable fancy grasses which produce a green
turf much sooner than can be obtained by blue
grass alone. Providing the soil is not sour, and
is properly and thoroughly fertilized, the blue

Shady Park

Few grasses grow well in shaded portions of
lfiwns or groves, hence it is necessary to sow a
mixture of grasses which are adapted for grow¬
ing in the shade. Our Shady Park Mixture is
composed entirely of choice clean seed of the
finest and most costly grasses which have been

grass will eventually take entire possession. In
the meantime a good looking lawn is obtained
while the blue grass, which is slow to germi¬
nate, is getting established. Lime and Fertilizers
are described on page 49 and back cover.

Postpaid, lb. 60c ; 5 lbs. $2.50 ; 10 lbs. $4.75.

How To Secure A Beautiful Lawn

PREPARATION OF SEED BED

A fine lawn requires a rich, well drained soil.

All weeds, roots and other debris should be re¬
moved and the soil spaded to a depth of eight or
ten inches, and thoroughly pulverized like garden
soil for the reception of small seed. Large areas
can be plowed and disked, but the soil should be
thoroughly pulverized before the seed is sown.

FERTILIZATION

Grass seed send out long feeding roots which
absorb a large quantity of plant food in making
heavy green turf. It is necessary to mix fer¬
tilizer to the depth of eight or ten inches to
supply this plant food. The class of fejrtilizer
used will have a direct bearing on the finished
lawn. To avoid numerous noxious weeds that
always come by the use of fresh manure, we
advise fertilizing your lawn with Pulverized
Sheep Manure, a natural fertilizer, free from
all weed seed. Ground Bone Meal is also val¬
uable as an enricher of lawns and a top dress¬
ing. Bone Meal or Sheep Manure, or a mixture
half of each, should be applied at the rate of
80 lbs. for 300 square feet. As a top dressing,
18 lbs. to 300 Bquare feet.

Vigoro is a well balanced, high grade fertilizer,
that has given excellent results in building
lawns ; it is especially valuable in building new
lawns. Use 4 lbs. to 100 square feet. As top
dressing 2 lbs. to 100 square feet.

Ants, which frequently infest lawns, can be
driven off by the use of Tobacco . Dust, which is
also a good fertilizer, or by using Antrol de¬
scribed on page 50.

DO NOT SOW GRASS

TREATING THE SOIL

When the soil is excessively acid it is advisable
to apply Lime which also loosens clay and makes
it easier to work. (See page 49). To control
beetles and earthworms and to discourage the
growth of crab grass, chickweed and other ob¬
noxious weeds the use of Arsenate of Lead is
recommended. (See page 50).

SOWING THE SEED

For spring sowing, Lawn Grass Seed should be
sown as early as possible, from February to May,
or if in the fall, from September to the last of
November. Many people follow the practice of
sowing lawn grass seed on top of snow with
very great success. As the snow melts, the
seed is carried to the proper depth. Thick seed¬
ing gives the best results. It should be sown at
the rate of l lb. to 250 square feet or 150 lbs.
to an acre. The seed should be carefully and
evenly sown, lightly raked in, and afterwards,
provided the ■soil is not too wet, rolled or made
firm by patting down with the back of a spade.
This packing oiings the seed in close contact with
the soil and prevents drying out ; it also gives a
quicker and a more even germination.

Lawns should not be neglected. The grass
should be kept cut, rolled if necessary, and wa¬
tered in dry weather, bare spots reseeded and
weeds dug out as fast as they appear. Please
see back pages of this catalog for Lawn Mowers,
Rollers, Weed Pullers, Tools, and Fertilizers.

HIGH QUALITY VEGETABLE SEEDS

All vegetable seeds that we offer are bought from reliable growers, are of the best strains and
thoroughly tested for vitality. These seeds comprise the popular varieties that have proven successful
in this section and any gardener, whether for the home or market, will find in our stock a sufficient
range of selection for all practical purposes. We suggest that you consult the Planting Calendar on
page 2 ; the pages on which are listed fertilizers, insecticides and fungicides ; also those describing
sprayers and tools. The inoculation of bean and pea seed with Simugerm is highly recommended
as it will increase the crop, insure an even stand and improve the condition of the soil.

ASPARAGUS

ASPARAGUS requires rich, well drained ground
and plenty of potash which can be obtained by
using a high grade commercial fertilizer con¬
taining a high percentage of potash. Keep free
of weeds, but do not dig the soil deeply enough to
disturb the crowns or roots. In the late fall mow
or cut the tops and burn them to destroy disease.
Mulch with coarse manure and in the spring fork
in the fall dressing with an ounce of salt to the
square yard. Bordeaux will check rust and Ar¬
senate of Lead will destroy the Asparagus beetle.
Chickens and ducks will devour the insects when
turned into the beds.

During the first season quick maturing, low-
growing crops can be grown between the Aspara¬
gus rows. These may include bush beans, dwarf
peas, early cabbage, lettuce and radishes but
avoid tall-growing or long season crops.

ROOT CULTURE — The home gardener will
find growing Asparagus from roots much easier,
and cuttings may be had at least a year sooner.
Prepare trenches 3 ft. apart and about 18 inches
deep ; fill with a liberal quantity of well rotted
manure ; after covering the manure with a few
inches of dirt, set the plants IV* ft. apart in
each trench ; 4 inch covering of good soil is then
added. Do not exhaust the plants by cutting
too late, especially the first bearing season; 100
roots plant a bed 20 ft. by 20 ft. Set roots
either In spring or fall.

Fertilizers and Insecticides are listed on
pages 49 and 50.

CULTURE OF SEED— Sow the seed thinly in
rows 1 ft. apart in April or May. 1 oz. pro-
duces 300 roots. To secure strong healthy plants,,
keep down all weeds and thin the poorest seed¬
lings to 3 inches apart in each row. The roots
may be dug either the first or second year in the
fall after the plants die, and set either in the fall
or spring, as described under “Root Culture."

MARY WASHINGTON— The Washington var¬
iety which was developed by the United States De¬
partment of Agriculture has proven as nearly rust
proof as is possible to produce Asparagus. This in
addition to the vigor of the plants, the thick
shoots, the heavy yield and fine flavor make it an
exceptionally valuable variety. The shoots are of
rich, dark green color tinted somewhat darker
at tips. The Mary Washington type is considered
the best of the Washington variety.

ASPARAGUS ROOTS— See page 22.

ARTICHOKE SEED— Green Globe

The Green Globe Artichoke is cultivated for
its flower heads, which are cooked like Aspar¬
agus. Sow the seed in hot beds during Feb¬
ruary and transplant in May into rows 3 ft.
apart and 2 ft. in the rows. The seeds may b©
sown in the open during the month of April,
and then the stand thinned. Artichoke requires
a deep, rich, sandy loam with plenty of well
rotted manure. When cold weather comes, pro¬
tect the plants with a heavy covering of leaves
or manure. If properly cared for, the plants
will bear for several years. Try a few in your
garden. Although more or less of a novelty in
this section, they are considered a great delicacy
in the big cities and command a fancy price. An
ounce plarws 40 ft. of drill.

BROCCOLI

Green Sprouting Calabrese

This delicious vegetable is of easy culture and
can be grown for an early crop by starting seeds
in a hot-bed or green-house in February or March
and later transplanting the same as cabbage or
can be sown in open bed after ground becomes
warm transplanting 2% feet apart each way.

Plants start producing heads in about 90 days
and continue to bear for 8 to 10 weeks. Succes¬
sive sowings should be made so as to have a con¬
tinuous crop till frost. One ounce of seed will
produce about 1500 plants.

Green heads somewhat in the form of Cauli¬
flower, measuring four or five inches across, al¬
though not of so compact a form grow from the
center of the plant. These are cut out and used
before the flower buds open up, and then from the
axis of the leaves there gradually will develop
thick, fleshy, light green sprouts with buds simi¬
lar in form to those removed earlier from the
centre of the plants, but smaller, ranging from
one to three inches across. Cut these with about
five or six inches of stem and prepare for the
table like Asparagus. The sprouts should be cut
regularly and just as soon as sufficiently develop¬
ed, otherwise they mill soon flower and fail to
produce further. To obtain the best flavor.
Broccoli should be cooked soon after being cut.

cold than the bush kinds, and should not be plant¬
ed before the ground is warm — two or three weeks
later than bush beans. Set poles 6 to 8 feet long,
3 to 4 feet apart, in 4 foot rows and plant 5 or 6
beans 2 inches deep around each pole. They
may also be planted in the cornfield and allowed
to run up the stalk. More troublesome to grow

LIMA BEANS

Plant More Lima Beans For Boiling, Baking And Canning

While Lima Beans are rapidly growing in
popularity, this excellent table food is still not
grown so extensively as it merits. Lima Beans
have a rich and delicate flavor that is not found
in other types of beans, and for this reason are
unexcelled for baking, boiling, or canning. They
are largely used as green beans cooked either
alone or with sugar corn. As a dried bean they

keep as well as other types in any climate and
are more nutritious food than most varieties.

Lima Beans should not be planted until the
ground is warm and all danger of frost is over.
The germination of practically all Limas is not
as high as ordinary beans, hence a liberal plant¬
ing is necessary and cheaper in the end.

Inoculate this seed with Stimugerm.

DWARF OR BUSH LIMAS

CULTURE — Bush Limas are planted for early
crop, since they come into bearing much sooner
than pole varieties. The dwarf varieties are not
as prolific as the Pole Lima Beans, but they
produce a good crop of equal quality and are
not so difficult to grow ; always plant the eyes
down, dropping 3 beans 15 inches apart in rows
3 feet apart. The bean should be covered from
1% to 2 inches deep.

TALL OR POLE LIMAS

CULTURE — Plant 3 or 4 beans to the hill 3
ft. apart in 3 or 4 ft. rows. Cover 1% to 2 in¬
ches deep with eyes down. It is necessary to
provide poles 6 to 8 ft. long for each hill. The
beans will make a very rapid growth if a small
shovel full of well rotted cow manure is added
to each hill when the poles are set. All Pole
Limas are exceedingly prolific and are preferred
by truck gardeners.

Henderson’s Bush Lima

The original dwarf or bush butter bean. Val¬
uable on account of its extreme earliness, hardi¬
ness and productiveness. Continuing to grow and

lar with market gardeners. Pods about 5 inches
long, containing 4 to 5 large oval-shaped, very
thick white beans of the so-called Potato Lima
type. The plants are vigorous and erect, bearing
well above the ground. The pods, which are pro¬
duced in large clusters, are medium green in col¬
or. The beans are of exceptionally fine quality
and are produced so abundantly as to make this
one of the best paying crops that can be raised.

A rich, warm, fibrous loam is best. Set the
early plants in rows about 18 inches apart,
and rows at least 2 feet apart. Give thorough
cultivation and irrigate in dry weather if
practicable A little nitrate of soda applied
around the plant is of great benefit. A fer¬
tilizer with a high percentage of potash will
also do much good. For late cabbage plants,
sow seed in drills in open ground during April
and May, and transplant in June and July
about 2 feet apart in 2% foot rows. Dusting
with tobacco dust, slug shot, ete., are good and
safe remedies for some of the insect pests at¬

enables it to withstand dry weather well, and its
good keeping quality makes it a most valuable
cabbage for winter storing. Heads which are
borne on short stems are medium size, round and
very solid. A handsome and valuable type that
should be more extensively grown in this section.

CARROTS

CULTURE — Sow in a light, rich, deeply-
worked soil as early as you can work the ground,
in drills 12 inches apart and Yu inch deep ; press
the soil firmly after planting and when well up
thin out to 3 or 4 inches apart in the row. For
field culture, make the drills 18 to 24 inches
apart; later sowings should be made in July and
August for a late crop to store for winter. In
dry weather soak the seeds before sowing. To
store for winter, pack in dry earth or sand in
the cellar or put them outside on a well-drained
situation, covering with a few inches of straw
and 6 to 8 inches of earth to protect from frost.
One oz. will sow 100 ft. of drill ; 3 to 4 lbs. to
the acre.

Danver’s Half Long Carrots

OXHEART — Very early and one of the heaviest
yielders and the best for stiff and heavy soils
where the longer varieties might fail. Fully
grown roots measure 2% inches in diameter at
the top, and from 3 to 4 inches in length. The
flesh is bright orange in color ; free from hard
core or fiber, and are sweet and tender. Excep¬
tionally fine for the home garden, and sells
quickly on the market, due to its fine appearance
and superb quality. They are sweetest when still
small.

Postpaid, pkt. 5c ; oz. 10c ; % lb. 30c ; lb. $1.00.

CHANTENAY — A most excellent, medium early,
half long variety. It is one of the best in quality
for the market and home garden, while its great
productiveness and the ease with which it can be
harvested make it desirable as a field sort. The
tops are medium sized with small neck. The ma¬
ture roots are thick, five and one-half to six
inches in length, uniformly half long or stump
rooted but tapering slightly, smooth, deep orange-
red in color. The flesh is very crisp and tender.
Although a medium early sort the roots are suit¬
able for use nearly as early as any. The variety
is extensively used for bunching.

Postpaid, pkt. 5c ; oz. 10c ; % lb. 30c ; lb. $1.00.

DANVER’S HALF LONG — A half long orange
carrot, grown largely on account of its great pro¬
ductiveness. and adaptability to all classes of soil.
It is a desirable second early and main crop car¬
rot for the home garden and is also suitable for
field culture. The tops are of medium size. The
mature roots are of medium length, six to eight
inches long, tapering uniformly to a blunt point.
The flesh is deep orange, tender and of good qual¬
ity. Although the roots of this variety at matur¬
ity are comparatively short, they often produce as
large a bulk as the longer field sorts and are
more easily harvested.

Postpaid, pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 30c; lb. $1.00.

CAULIFLOWER

CULTURE — Cauliflower requires much the same
treatment and cultivation as cabbage, but is not
as hardy in resistance to either hot or cold or
dry weather. The plants should have an abun¬
dance of water in the summer and protection
during cold weather. Early planting is essential
in this section. Plant in hot beds in February,
March and early April, cover seed with Yt in. fine
soil firmly pressed down. Transplanting should
be done in moist weather. Be sure to transplant
to a rich, well fertilized moist soil, at least as
rich as the seed bed. *4 oz. produces about 500
plants, 3 to 4 ounces make enough to plant an
acre. Set plants 15 to 18 inches apart in 3 foot
rows. Cultivate frequently. When the heads are
about two inches across, tie up
the outer leaves to blanch the
heads and protect them from
the sun and weather ; this pre¬
vents them becoming bitter and
discolored. Cut when head is
hard and compact.

EARLY SNOWBALL — This
variety is not only the earliest
to head but a remarkably sure
header, making large, solid, per¬
fect, pure white heads of the
finest quality.

Plant compact in growth with
few short, outside leaves. Suit¬
able alike for home or market
garden and adapted for forcing
as well as growing out of doors.

For several years we have
been importing Early Snowball
Cauliflower seed direct from
Europe. Truckers have had
splendid success with their crops
from this seed. We believe
that Cauliflower can be made
one of the best paying crops for this section, as
it always commands a good price. It requires
considerable care, but the profit more than re¬
pays the effort expended.

CAULIFLOWER PLANTS— See page 22.

COLLARDS

Collards are cultivated and grown much the
same as cabbage. They are strictly a Southern
vegetable and are the old time winter greens,
being improved by the touch of frost.

Sow the seed thickly in drills, in rich ground,
transplanting when about four inches high ; or
sow in drills where the plants are to remain and
when well started, thin to two or three feet apart
in the row. In this section seed may be sown
from March to May, but is usually sown from
July to September. Sow 1 oz. of seed to 100 ft.
of row, covering Yt in. deep.

TRUE GEORGIA OR SOUTHERN— This is the
white or green stemmed variety, growing two to
three feet high and forming a large, loose open
head or cluster of leaves with a rather long stem.
A frost, if not too severe, will improve rather
than injure the quality of the leaves.

Postpaid, pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; *4 lb. 25c; lb. 75c.

NORTH CAROLINA SHORT STEM— A decided
improvement, and has proved very popular wher¬
ever grown. Has short stem, large spreading
leaves, very hardy, withstanding drought in sum¬
mer and cold in winter. Its flavor and cooking
qualities are the very best.

GARDEN AND SUGAR CORN

Golden Bantam Sugar Corn

CULTURE — Corn thrives best in a rich, warm well-
manured soil, that has been deeply and thoroughly worked
before planting. To secure bumper crops use commercial
fertilizer in addition to stable manure. Plant the early
varieties the last of March or early April ; sweet corns
are tender and should not be planted till the ground is
thoroughly warm, otherwise they are liable to rot.

Plant at intervals of about two weeks apart, so as to
haye a succession of roasting ears throughout the season.
This method is also a protection in case the first plantings
are lost. Continue plantings through July and into August,
if season is favorable, for late roasting ears.

If planted in rows, make the rows three to four feet apart
and place the seed twelve to sixteen inches apart in the row,
covering one inch deep with fine soil firmly pressed down.

If planted in hills, make the hills for the early varieties
three feet apart each way and plant four to six kernels to
the hill. For the later sorts the hills should be three and
one-half ‘o four feet apart each way. Hoe frequently and
when six inches high thin so as to leave three or four plants
in the hill. Give frequent and thorough but shallow culti¬
vation until the tassels appear. One pound will plant 100
hills ; 10 to 12 lbs. plants an acre.

ADAMS EXTRA EARLY — Not a sugar corn, but a good
small roasting ear largely grown for very early use, being
hardy, standing early planting and the thick, hard husks not
only protect the ear from cold, but prevent the entrance of
the corn worm. For extra early roasting ears this is the
variety to plant, but will not produce a big, showy ear.
Postpaid, % lb., 20c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 50c ; 5 lbs. 95c.

Not prepaid, lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 70c.

IMPROVED LARGE ADAMS — This is also a hardy corn
about two weeks later than Adams Extra Early, but much
bigger and better. The stout stalks grow to 7 ft. in height,
bearing one or two large or medium sized ears, which are
well filled with fine white grain that is of excellent quality
if pulled at the proper stage. Not a true sugar corn, but
an excellent roasting ear.

Postpaid, lb., 20c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 50c; 5 lbs., 95c.

Not prepaid, lb., 20c ; 5 lbs., 70c.

TRUCKER’S FAVORITE— For a second early corn to fol¬
low Adams Early, or for late planting to mature early,
this is a good sort. It is a white corn, with good depth of
grain, tender and sweet, and makes most desirable size for
roasting ears. It makes an excellent field corn to follow
potatoes and other early crops and in addition to being an
excellent roasting ear, makes fine meal. Not a true sugar
corn, but one of the favorite roasting ears.

Postpaid, y2 lb. 20c; lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 50c; 5 lbs. 95c.

Not prepaid, lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 70c.

GOLDEN BANTAM— This is the earliest of the true
sweet corns. For sweetness and richness of flavor it has no
equal. It is hardy, a vigorous grower, an early maturing
variety of very dwarf growth and can, therefore, be planted
feloser than other sorts and through a longer range of Bes¬
son. The cob is small but fills out nicely with large, deep,
cream-colored kernels, which turn to yellow when ready for
the table. Each stalk bears two or three well filled ears, six
to seven inches in length and eight rowed.

Not prepaid, lb. 15c ; lb. 30c ; 5 lbs. $1.10.

HOWLING MOB — A big eared medium early
corn with the sweet flavor of the late varieties.
Stalks usually bear two ears 7 to 8 inches long
with 12 to 14 rows of pearly white grains. The
shock extends well over the tip and protects it
from the worm so destructive to early sweet corn.

COUNTRY GENTLEMAN— The leading midsea¬
son variety and a very popular and satisfactory
corn for this section. The ears are 7 to 8 inches
long, cob small, white and densely covered with
long, slender, white grains without row formation.
The stalks grow 6 y2 to 7 feet high, bearing two
or three ears. A good yielder, and keeps in good
condition a long time.

STOWE LL’S EVERGREEN— The standard main
crop sweet corn, more extensively planted than
any other variety, being the general favorite for
the home garden and market for late use. If
planted at ‘Jie same time with earliest kinds, it
will keep t>te table supplied until October. The
stalks grow about 7 1-2 feet high, bearing an
abundance of ears 8 to 9 inches long, sixteen to
eighteen rowed with very deep, sweet white grains
of delicious flavor, remaining a long time in good
cooking condition.

CUCUMBER SEED

CULTURE— In order to obtain the largest yield of cucumbers, the soil should be well enriched wit*
well rotted manure or sheep fertilizer, but an abundance of good fruit can be raised on any rich garden
ooil. Plant the seed not over an inch deep in hills four to six feet apart each way, dropping fifteen
to twenty seeds in a hill. After the plants begin to crowd and danger from the striped beetle is pretty
well over, thin to three plants to the hill. Give frequent but shallow cultivation until the plants make
runners so long that this is impracticable.

In this section it is best to make
two sowings ; one in the early
spring and the second late in June
and early in July. One ounce is
sufficient for 50 hills ; 2 lbs. to the
acre. Spray with Dowco or a mix
ture of Arsenate of Lead and Bor¬
deaux when plants are young, in
late afternoon or
early evening. A
light sprinkling of
tobacco dust also
does a great deal
of good. Try
planting a
seed in every hill,
as it helps to keep
the bugs away.

Pick the fruit as soon as it is
large enough and before it begins
to ripen, otherwise the vines will
stop bearing.

WHITE SPINE, IMPROVED

EARLY — The earliest and best
known of the White Spines ; a

Golden Self Blanching Celery

CELERY SEED

CULTURE — Sow seed in February, March or April, in
rows, and if dry enough, press the soil firmly with a roller
or the back of a spade. Soak seed for 24 hours before plant¬
ing ; cover very lightly and keep constantly moist. When
4 inches high, cut off tops to make the plants grow stocky.
Transplant from June to October in rows 3 feet apart, 6
inches apart in row. When the plants are nearly full
grown they should be “handled,” which is done by gathering
the leaves together while the earth is drawn about the plant
to one-third its height, taking care that none of it falls
between the leaves. Repeat the process every few days until
only the tops of the leaves are visible. One oz., sows about
100 feet, and produces about 2,000 plants.

IMPROVED WHITE PLUME — The earliest and most eas¬
ily blanched as well as the most satisfactory celery for
spring sowing in this section. Foliage is an attractive light
green. Stalks are oure white, crisp and of a delicious
nutty flavor. It is a popular variety for early market and
a great addition to the home garden.

ASHEVILLE SEED CO., ASHEVILLE, N. C.

EGG PLANT

CULTURE — Seed germinates slowly and should
be started in hotbed, covering % in. deep, for in
this, as in all semi-tropical plants, it is impor¬
tant to secure a rapid and continuous growth
from the first, the plants never recovering from
a check received when young. When plants have
two rough leaves transplant three or four inches
apart. When the ground is warm and all danger
not only from frosts, but from cold nights is past,
harden off by gradual exposure to the sun and air
and decreasing the supply of water, then carefully
transplant to open ground, setting two and one-
half feet apart in a deep, rich loamy soil. In
very cool and wet summers egg plants frequently
fail to head. In such cases try pinching off the
ends of the branches after plants begin to bloom,
so that only two or three fruits will set. Dust
with slug shot to protect from bugs. One ounce
for 1,000 plants ; 6 ozs. to plant an acre.

Matures in about 120 days from sowing.

BLACK BEAUTY — This earliest and most de¬
sirable of Egg Plants has gradually superseded
all other varities. The fruits which are borne
freely on strong, stocky plants, are egg-shaped
and grow to good size. The skin is a rich dark
purple which does not fade when the fruits reach
maturity. For plants see page 22.

Dwarf Curled Scotch Kale

ENDIVE

CULTURE — One of the best salads for fall and
winter use. Endive is not only much used for
salads and garnishing, but is also desirable for
greens and for flavoring soups and stews.

Plants may be grown at any season of the year
but are more generally used late in the fall. For
early use sow from March 15th ; for fall supply
sow in June through September in drills fourteen
to twenty inches apart and when well started thin
the plants to one foot apart. When nearly full
grown tie the outer leaves together over the cen¬
ter in order to blanch the heart of the plant. By
covering fresh plants every few days a succes¬
sion may be kept up.

One ounce sows 200 ft. of drill. Cover Vx in.
deep.

MOSS GREEN CURLED — A very hardy med¬
ium green curled leaved sort, crisp and tender ;
blanches creamy white. The preferred and much
the best variety.

White Vienna Kohl-Rabi

KOHLRABI

CULTURE — The edible part is the turnip¬
shaped bulb formed above ground. It is tender
and excellent when used before fully grown, com¬
bining somewhat the flavors of cabbage and tur¬
nip. Seed should be sown in light, rich soil as
early in spring as .possible in rows one and one-
half feet apart and when well established, thin to
six inches apart in the row. Plantings at inter¬
vals of ten days will give a succession until hot
weather, when they fail to grow well. Plantings
may be made the latter part of July for fall use.
Sow 1 oz. to 100 ft. of drill. Cover y2 in. deep.

EARLY WHITE VIENNA— Extremely early,
with distinctly small tops ; bulbs medium size,
very light green or nearly white and of best qual¬
ity. Worthy of a place in any garden.

HORSE RADISH ROOTS

Horse Radish rarely produces seed, but is
grown from pieces of the roots. Mark off the
rows 3 y2 ft. apart, in rich, moist, well-prepared
ground, and set the pieces of roots 18 inches
apart in the rows vertically, the small end
down, and the top 1 to 2 inches below the sur¬
face. Cultivate thoroughly until the tops cover
the ground, when their shade will keep down the
weeds. See Page 22 for prices.

ASHEVILLE SEED CO., ASHEVILLE, N. C.

LETTUCE SEED

CULTURE — Sow in hotbeds % in. deep in Feb¬
ruary and March, harden off and set out 8 to 12
inches apart in 18 inch rows. For succession, sow
every 3 weeks. Sowing may be made in open
ground early in the Spring and the plants thinned
out. Lettuce is easy to grow, but requires rich,
moist soil, clean and thorough cultivation, and
plenty of water to give it that quick growth on
which depends its tenderness and flavor. After
plants are set out, a side-dressing of Nitrate of
Soda will stimulate their growth.

For fall use plant in July and August. Plant
the hardy kinds in September and October. Pro¬
tect with straw or litter and they will head up in
the spring. One ounce will sow about 100 ft.
of drill or produce about 1500 plants. About 2 lbs.
will make plants enough for an acre.

Grand Rapids

The favorite loose-leaved forcing lettuce and the
best to sow outside in the spring and fall for

ASHEVILLE SEED CO., ASHEVILLE, N. C.

MUSKMELON OR CANTALOUPE

CULTURE— A
rich, sandy soil
and good seed
are a b s o lutely
essential for suc¬
cess in raising
the best musk-
melons. The
seed should not
be planted until
the ground has
become dry and
warm ; plant in
hills 4 to 6 ft.
apart each way ;
old well rotted
manure or sheep
fertilizer should
b e thoroughly
mixed with the soil in each hill and in liberal
quantity. Add a good commercial fertilizer and
make the hills rich. Put from 10 to 16 seeds to
the hill, 1 in. deep, and when danger of insects
destroying the young plants is past, thin out,
leaving 4 strong plants to the hill. Give frequent
but shallow cultivation until vines cover the
ground. Spray with Dowco, or a mixture of Ar¬
senate of Lead and Bordeaux. Applications of
Tobacco Dust will also do a great deal of good.
A radish plant grown in each hill will help to
keep the bugs away. One ounce will plant 50
hills ; 2 lbs. to an acre.

Results will justify the use of plenty of high-
grade commercial fertilizer, in addition to com-
poste. Make hills 8 ft. apart each way, plant 10
to 12 seeds to a hill, covering 1 inch deep ; when
well up, thin out, leaving 3 strong plants to a
hill. Spray with Dowco, or a mixture of Arsen¬
ate of Lead and Bordeaux. Applications of To¬

PARSLEY

CULTURE — This well known plant is very
useful for flavoring soups and stews and for
garnishing. One ounce sows 100 feet. Sow both
Spring and Fall.

Parsley succeeds best on rich, mellow soil. The
seed is even slower than parsnip in germinating
and should be sown as early as possible in the
spring, in drills one to two feet apart covering
not more than one-half inch with fine soil firmly
pressed down. When the plants are well up thin
to Btand four to six inches apart in the row. When
the plants are about three inches high cut off
all the leaves; the plant will then start a new
growth.

A few radish seeds should be sown in the row
with parsley to mark the row and allow early
cultivation. The radtehes can be pulled early and
will not interfere with the parsley. Top dress
with well rotted manure or sheep fertilizer. Fall

sowings can be made as late as October in hot
beds or cold frames.

CHAMPION MOSS CURLED— The best and
most improved strain of Parsley. It is beautiful¬
ly curled and crimped, and is best for garnishing

GARDEN OR ENGLISH PEAS

(Varieties Marked With

CULTURE — Plant the smooth varieties as

early as the ground can be worked, drop seed 3
to 4 inches apart 2 inches deep in double rows 6
to 8 inches apart, 2 54 to 3 ft. between the double
rows and stake the tall varieties with brush. The
wrinkled peas are not as hardy as the smooth sorts
and they should be planted later ; they are sweeter
and better flavored. They should be kept clean and
the earth worked toward them 2 or 3 times dur¬
ing the growth. For a continuous crop, plant
every 2 weeks as late as August for a fall crop.
Gather as fast as they are big enough to use,
otherwise they will stop bearing. Peas mature
earlier in a light, rich soil ; for general crop, a
moderately heavy soil is best. Two lbs. will
plant 100 ft. of row ; 90 to 100 lbs. per acre.
Inoculate this seed with Stimugerm. Use plenty
of good fertilizer.

Culture

Potatoes do best in a rich sandy loam that con¬
tains plenty of vegetable matter ; a clover sod or
land that was heavily manured for the previous
crop supply ideal conditions. Cut the potatoes,
leaving two eyes to each piece, and plant 16 in¬
ches apart in three-foot rows, 4 inches deep for
early plantings, 6 inches deep for later plant¬
ings ; cultivate frequently to keep down the weeds
and conserve moisture, for a shortage of moisture
means a poor crop. Apply fertilizer either in
the row or broadcast before the potatoes are
planted, and be sure to work it into the soil so
that it will not come in contact with and burn
the potatoes. Do not use stable manure, as it
means scabby potatoes. Continue cultivating till
the plants attain full growth and the vines be¬
gin to spread.

One peck will plant about 100 feet of row,
or 100 hills. Ten bushels are required to plant
an acre.

See page 49 for fertilizers.

To Prevent Potato Scab

Before cutting the potatoes, put them in a
burlap bag and dip them in the following so¬
lution, allowing to remain about two hours,
dry before cutting ; 4 oz. Corrosive Sublimate
(Bichloride of Mercury) to 30 gals, of water.
Dissolve first in small quantity of hot water.
Dip whole bag in the solution and add Cor¬
rosive Sublimate when you put in more water.
Use only in wood, enamel or concrete con¬
tainers. BE CAREFUL! DEADLY POISON!

are treated, Not prepaid % lb. 85c ; lb. $3.25.

Cobbler Potato

Early Red Bliss Triumph

This is a very plump, smooth, pink-skinned
potato that is very widely grown throughout the
South. It is earlier than Cobbler and more pro-
ductive than Rose, and therefore fills in between
the two. Those who like a potato with a pink
skin and white flesh, will find the Red Bliss most
satisfactory. _ It peels without waste, is a fine
yielder and is in great demand in a great many
sections where its merits are appreciated and on
account of its extreme earliness. Matures in
about 110 days.

Irish Cobbler

This has been the standard white variety for
many years, and it is hard to find another that
can compare in looks or flavor. The skin is
white and smooth ; the potato symmetrical ; flesh
good clear white and mellow when cooked. It
is the leading commercial variety and there are
more Cobblers grown than all the other kinds
put together. Its popularity is due not only to
its extreme earliness — being ten to twelve days
earlier than Early Rose— but is also based on its
reputation as a reliable and uniform yielder.
One of its strong characteristics is that it makes
few if any very small potatoes, practically all
being medium to large size, and one rarely sees
a knotty Cobbler for they are generally plump
handsome potatoes. Matures in about 115 days.

Early Rose

This is one of the most popular potatoes for
the early market. Besides being early in matur¬
ing, it is very productive, and of excellent quali¬
ty. The skin is pink and the flesh firm. They
make a good appearance and are easily marketed.
Very mealy and dry and keep well. Does better
on poor land than most sorts. Matures in about
125 days.

Green Mountain

Possibly the best-known late Potato on the
market. A prolific yielder, growing tubers of
large size, oval and fine white flesh. The skin
is a dull cream or light russet, the eyes are com¬
paratively small and shallow. Most profitable
Potatoes, for market or home use. There is no
variety superior in quality to Green Mountain ;
it has a delightful dry mealy flavor when cooked.
A good variety to store for winter use.

PUMPKIN SEED

CULTURE — Pumpkins are rapidly growing in
favor throughout the South. The larger and
coarser sorts make excellent stock food while the
majority of the sorts make excellent pies and are
used in a number of other ways.

Pumpkins may be planted most any time dur¬
ing spring and early autumn among corn rows,
or in the open. Plant in hills 8 to 10 feet part,
mixing well-rotted manure in each hill. Put 8
to 10 seeds in each hill, 1 inch deep, and culti¬
vate till the vines get strong, when they should
be thinned out, leaving two or three of the
strongest in each hill. When planned in corn,
plant at the same time as the corn in every
fourth row, 10 to 12 feet apart in the rows,
letting the hill of pumpkins take the place of a
hill of corn. Do not grow near squashes or
melons. Keep off bugs by dusting with Slug Shot
or Arsenate of Lead. One ounce will plant 20
hills, three pounds, one acre. Use a good com¬
mercial fertilizer containing a high percentage
of Potash.

SELECTED FLOWER SEED

Ageratum (Floss Flower)

GENERAL CULTURAL DIRECTIONS FOR
FLOWER SEEDS — Most flower seeds germinate
in a rather light sandy loam, exposed to the
Bun, while a few are benefitted by partial shade.
Nearly all hardy seeds vegetate better when
planted in early spring as soon as the soil can be
worked easily and has become warm.

A general rule for the seed-bed is to have the
soil rich, level, find worked finely. Sow the seed
evenly in the rows, cover with the finest of soil,
about three times the diameter of the seed, and
press the soil firmly over the seed. The soil
Bhould never become dry after the seeds have
swelled ; if it does, they will be sure to fail.

After the seeds are up, care must be taken to
give them plenty of air and moisture, and yet
not too much water, or they will “damp-off” (rot
at the top of the ground). When transplanted to
the bed or border, water frequently.

Flowers require the use of Fertilizer described
on page 49 and when necessary the application
of Spraying Material described on page 50.

form in height. It is also desirable for hanging
baskets or vases, trailing over the sides and pro¬
ducing a profusion of fragrant blooms. It does
well in almost any kind of soil and is used ex¬
tensively in rock gardens or for pot culture. Pre¬
fers a sunny location and a soil which has good
drainage.

Sow the seed thinly early in the spring in shal¬

thinly with fine soil. Thin the young plants to
stand 4 inches apart. Height 4 to 8 inches.

Sweet Peas

Sweet Peas should have a place In every
garden. Their long blooming season extends from
early summer until very hot dry weather and no
other climber equals it for cutting either for use
in bouquets or for table decoration.

CULTURE — Early in spring make a trench
three to four inches deep in rich, mellow soil, bo
arranged that no water can stand in it and plant
the seed in the bottom, covering at first only one
inch deep. Sweet Peas are often a little difficult
to start. If the soil is too dry they will remain
a long time without germinating ; if it is too wet
and cold they will not sprout at all. In soils
composed largely of clay, put about one inch of
sand in the bottom of the trench and sow the
seed on this, covering with more sand. Cover
the row with a board to shed the rain and pro¬
tect the soil from the hot sun but remove this
as soon as the young plants appear. When the
plants are two inches high, cultivate and as they
grow gradually fill up the trench. When the
plants are about five inches high it is desirable
to furnish some support for the vines to run
upon, preferably a wire netting firmly supported
by stakes to prevent sagging, but strings or
brush are often used with satisfactory results.

Early planting, thorough cultivation and plenty
of fertilizer are necessary for best results. Roots
should not be allowed to become too dry. Water
should be applied thoroughly once or twice a week
in dry weather, early in the morning or late
evening.

Fall planting, usually after October 15th, has
proven very successful in this section and often
insures better growth and earlier blooming.
Planting is the same as in spring except that
the seed should be firmly covered with soil which
should be somewhat ridged above the rows to im¬
prove drainage. In freezing weather the rows
should be covered with a mulch of litter or ma¬
nure which should gradually be removed upon
the approach of warm weather.

The blooms should be picked before they form
pods or the plants will soon stop flowering.

One ounce will plant a single row of 25 feet.

SELECTED FLOWER SEED — Continued

Snapdragons

Antirrhinums or Snapdragons are undoubtedly
one of the best cut flowers which can readily be
grown from seed, while for beds or borders they
are a constant source of pleasure, being in flower
all the time. For blooms the first season out¬
doors, sow seed very early under glass and
transplant to open border as soon as the ground
is warm and dry. in rich loamy soil in a sunny
situation, setting one foot apart each way and
giving them plenty of water, cover plants with a
mulch on approach of cold weather. Seed may
be sown in the open from May to September;
cover thinly with fine soil firmly pressed down.
Thin to twelve inches apart. Fall grown plants
may be transplanted into pots and flowered in the
house. Snapdragons are hardy annuals or bi¬
ennials which bloom the first year, and so they
are treated like annuals and sown every year.

CHEROKEE BRAND CLOVER SEED

“Cherokee Brand”

Represents a superior quality of Clover Seed recleaned
and tested for high purity and strong germination. The
sowing of clover seed is absolutely essential to proper
rotation of crops and to keep up the fertility of the land.

Inoculate all clovers with Stimugerm.

Red Clover

This valuable perennial is not only one of the most ex¬
cellent Hay and Forage crops, but it is a great soil
improver. Red Clover can be cut 2 or 3 years from
one seeding, and on good land will yield two cuttings
per year. When sown alone use 10 to 12 lbs. per aere,
Vi to 1 in. deep. Excellent results are obtained by sow¬
ing for hay, a mixture of 1 bu. of Orchard Grass, 1 bu.
Tall Meadow Oat Grass with 8 lbs. of Red Clover to an
acre. If to be used also for pasture, an addition of 6
lbs. Red Top or Herd’s Grass to the above mixture will
increase the pasturage.

AMERICAN GROWN— Postpaid lb. 45c; 2 lbs. 85c;
pk. $5.25; J4 bu. $10.00; bu. (60 lbs.) $19.00

Not prepaid (bags extra) about $18.00 per bu.

2 lbs. 75c; pk. $4.50 ; y2 bu. $8.50; bu. (60 lbs. $16.00.
Not prepaid (bags extra) About $15.00 per bu.

Mammoth or Sapling Clover

This is similar to Red Clover, both in appearance of
the seed and its habits of growth, the difference being
that it usually grows larger and is later in maturing.
It is considered superior as a soil improver on account
of the extra growth. It is a good variety for thin soils,
or to seed with Timothy, as it matures about the same
time. Some 10 to 12 lbs. per acre by itself or 6 lbs. of
Clover and 8 lbs. of Timothy. Postpaid lb. 45c ; 2 lbs. 85c
pk. $5.65 ; J4 bu. $10.50; bu. (60 lbs.) $20.00.

Not prepaid (bags extra), about $19.00 per bu.

Alsike Clover

Alsike clover grows thicker, has a finer stem
than red clover, has plenty of leaf, and makes
better hay and more and better grazing than red
clover and will grow on soils too acid, too wet,
or too deficient in lime to produce a paying crop
of other clovers. It is hardier and will stand
greater extremes of heat and severely cold weather
than any other clover. It is adapted to a variety
of soils, succeeding on light upland and loamy as
well as on bottom lands ; alsike clover hay also
contains a higher per cent of digestible protein.
Sow 6 to 8 lbs. per acre. ^ to 1 inch deep.

Postpaid lb. 35c : 2ibs. 70c ; pk. $4.80 % bu$9.50 ;
bu. (60 lbs.) $18.00.

Not prepaid (bags extra), about 17.00 bu.

Crimson Clover

An annual of French origin, makes a growth
from 20 to 30 inches high, has a bright crimson
blossom from iy2 to 3 inches long, and when in
full bloom, is a thing of beauty It is a winter
crop, and should be sown in July, August or Sep¬
tember. As a manurial crop its worth in fertil¬
izer value is hard to compute, being equal to one
to three tons of commercial fertilizer.

Sow Crimson Clover on every piece of land, that
will be unoccupied by another crop next winter.
Whether you grow it for grazing, for hay or for
improving your land, it will pay handsomely.

If sown at last working of corn there is no
extra labor involved and the only expense is the
cost of the seed. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per acre, 1 to
2 in. deep. Seed should be inoculated with Sti¬
mugerm. Write for prices.

White Dutch Clover

This perennial does well in nearly all parts of
the South. In this section it is indigenous to all
kinds of soils. Is especially valuable and largely
used in Lawn and Pasture Mixtures. It makes a
small, close, compact growth. If sown alone, sow
6 to 8 lbs. an acre; more largely sown with other
grasses : in this case, use half the amount. Sow
in either spring or fall, but not in hot summer
weather. Postpaid lb. 55c ; 2 lbs. $1.00 ; 5 lbs $2.25 ;
10 lbs. $4.25. Not prepaid (bags extra), lb.45c;
2 lbs. 85c; 5 lbs. $2.00; 10 lbs. $3.90.

White Blossom Sweet Clover

(Scarified Seed)

Sweet Clover (a biennal) is becoming more
popular each year on account of the large amount
of forage it produces. It can be grown very
easily on almost any soil. When cutting for hay,
cut it tall ; then you will have a good second crop
as the tall stubble will bud out all around the
stalk and many new shoots will start up. If cut
low, within three or four inches of the ground, no
second growth will result and the roots will die.
This applies also to pasturing. Do not turn stock
into Sweet Clover pasture until the growth is at
least a foot and a half tall. If this is done, the
new growth will furnish constant pasture all sea¬
son. Very valuable for bee pasture. Always ino¬
culate seed with Stimugerm. Sow 12 to 14 lbs.
per acre, / to 1 inch deep. Postpaid lb. 20c ;
2 lbs. 35c; pk. $2.30; ^ bu. $4.25; bu. (60 lbs.)
$8.00. Not prepaid (bags extra), about $7.00 bu.

Japan Clover or Lespedeza

Recommended especially for grazing crop on
waste or idle lands and worn out soils. Once
3tarted it soon spreads but does not become a
pest as it is easily subdued by cultivation.
Roots penerate and break up hard sub-soils and
gather nitrogen from the air. Relished by
stock. Sow in spring or fall 20 to 25 lbs. per
acre. Can be sown with other clovers. Red
Top, and Bermuda Grass. Postpaid lb. 35c ;
2 lbs. 65c ; 5 lbs. $1.45 ; 10 lbs. $2.80 ;
bu. (25 lbs.) $6.75.

Not prepaid (bags included), about $6.25 bu.

Korean Lespedeza

This is well adapted for high altitudes where
ordinary Japan Clover will not reseed. It starts
earlier in the spring, has larger foliage, grows
more rapidly, and is ready to graze before . the
ordinary variety. The roots penetrate about eight
inches, making it highly drought resistant. Grows
well on poor dry lands, as well as acid soils.
Postpaid lb. 55c ; 2 lbs. $1.05 ; 5 lbs. $2.55 ;

10 lbs. $5.00; bu. (25 lbs.) $11.75.

ALFALFA OR LUCERNE

Alfalfa is a good investment on certain kinds of land in Western North Carolina. Once established,
it lasts for years and yields 3 to 5 cuttings of nutritious and palatable hay each season. To insure
permanency, it must be cut every time it comes into bloom. It does not exhaust the soil, but enriches it

Sow Alfalfa orfly on deep, well-drained, good land that is not underlaid by a stiff, hard pan that
the roots cannot penetrate. The land should contain an abundant supply of decomposed vegetable
matter ; a green crop turned under and lime at the rate of three tons to the acre. Do not sow
on weedy land and keep free from weeds at all times. Do not attempt to grow Alfalfa without
inoculating, except on fields where it has previously been grown. Sow 300 to 500 lbs. of soil from
an Alfalfa Field on each acre ; or use Stimugerm, described on this page.

Sow 20 to 30 lbs. to the acre broadcast. In the spring sow about the same time, as oats are
•own in this section. It may also be sown from August to October 1st. Cover one inch deep in
light, loamy soil, three-fourths to one inch in heavier soils. We offer North Western grown seed,
a type that has done well in Western North Carolina. We do not advise alfalfa unless soil and
drainage conditions are right and the planter is willing to start the crop correctly as outlined above.
Postpaid, lb., 40c; pk., $5.00; % bu., $9.75; bu (60 lbs.), $19.00. Not prepaid (bags extra), pk., $4.75;

The Best Inoculation for All Legume Seeds

Seeds of all legumes — Clovers, Al¬
falfa, Sweet Clovers, Beans, Peas.
Vetches, and Soy Beans, — will
yield far better results if in¬
oculated with Stimugerm, and, in
addition, leave in the soil a heavy
deposit of nitrogen which benefits
all succeeding crops in the rotation.

WHAT STIMUGERM WILL DO

Stimugerm will reduce your fer¬
tilizer bills, give you larger crops,
and improve your soil by producing
nodules on the roots of legumes, as
shown in the illustration above. No
other inoculant is as strong and
virile. No other inoculant will give
the profusion of nodules.

When ordering, be sure to state

CHEROKEE BRAND GRASS SEED

Timothy

This most important perennial ranks unsur¬
passed as the hay producer of America. All live¬
stock, especially horses, relish and thrive on _ it.
Timothy prefers good stiff loamy soils containing
an abundance of moisture, and is peculiarly adapt¬
ed for the heavy clay soils of mountainous dis¬
tricts. It is a rapid grower, producing the best crop
the first year. However, by manuring or top¬
dressing with our special grass fertilizer the
succeeding years may bring equally as good
yields of this wonderful hay crop. Since it ma¬
tures with Sapling Clover, Red Top, and Meadow
Fescue, any or all of these are valuable addi¬
tions both in production of larger yields of hay
or grazing. If sown with Sapling Clover, the
clover will help to supply nitrogen. 8 lbs. Tim¬
othy, and 6 lbs. Sapling Clover, to the acre.

A good pasture is 6 lbs. Timothy, 5 lbs. Red
Top or Herds Grass, 7 lbs. Meadow Fescue and 5
lbs. Sapling Clover to the acre. Alone sow 12 to
15 lbs. to the acre. Postpaid, lb. 25c ; 2 lbs. 45c ;

Orchard Grass

This deep root¬
ed perennial grass
is probably the
best known and
most universally
used of all varie¬
ties of grass. It
is very hardy and
succeeds any¬
where in the Uni¬
ted States, yield¬
ing e n o rm o u s
crops of most nu¬
tritious hay for
grazing. All live¬
stock are very
fond of it, green
or dry, and it en¬
dures const ant
cropp i n g better
than any other
grass. It has
been found that
Orchard Grass is
peculiarly adapt¬
ed for growing in
the shade, and
that while it suc¬
ceeds well on
soils o f sandy
texture, the ideal
soils are clay up¬
lands o r stiff
soils. For finest
quality hay it
should be cut just before blossoming when the
stem is less hard and the pitch of the stem is still
soft and sweet. After being mown. Orchard Grass
grows up quickly and yields a heavier aftermath
than any other variety of grass. Since this vari¬
ety grows in tufts, to obtain best results Red

Clover or Tall Meadow Oat Grass, both of which
mature at the same time, should be sown with Or¬
chard Grass. The usual rate of seeding of such a
mixture is 8 lbs. Red Clover, 14 lbs. Orchard

Grass, and 11 lbs. Tall Meadow Oat Grass per
acre, or 8 lbs. Red Clover and 21 lbs. of Orchard
Grass per acre. Orchard Grass sown alone re¬
quires 2 bushels per acre. For pastures, Red Top,
Kentucky Blue Grass, Canada Blue Grass, Rye
Grasses, and Clovers, are very desirable additions
to Orchard Grass. Fertilizer applied in March or
April at the rate of 300 to 400 lbs. to the acre
increase the yield. Postpaid lb. 35c ; 2 lbs. 65c ;
y2 bu. $1.65; bu. (14 lbs.) $3.05. Not Prepaid
(bags included) bu. $2.75 ; 8 bu. or more $2.65 bu.

Orchard Grass

Tall Meadow Oat Grass

This perennial is most highly esteemed for pas¬
tures on account of its early and luxuriant growth
of an abundant supply of foliage, which is greatly
relished by cattle both during early spring and
autumn. It is the first green grass of spring, and
yields steady grazing until late fall, even during
extreme drought or cold. For hay, two cuttings
can be made each season, and for green feed four
or five can be had under favorable conditions.
It matures with Orchard Grass and Red Clover,
and mixed with these produces large yields of
finest quality hay. All pasture mixtures should
be composed of a percentage of this excellent

Bermuda Grass

This is a most valuable grass for pasturage,
hay, lawns, etc., in the lowlands of the South,
where other grasses do not grow well due to
the extreme heat. It stands hot weather re¬
markably well. We do not advise sowing it in
the mountain section of Western North Carolina,
except for hillsides and railway embankments,
to keep them from washing. The seed should be
sown broadcast 7 to 10 lbs. to acre from end •£
April to July Do not sow too early, as the
seed will not germinate in cool weather. Cover
seed lightly, not more than half an inch. As
this grass is very hard to eradicate it should not
be used for temporary pasture. Our seed ie Ari¬
zona grown and forms a finer stem and grass than
the ordinary sorts. Postpaid, lb. 55c ; 5 lbs. $2.30 ;

Red Top Or Herd’s Grass

A very hardy, native perennial grass well
adapted for such a variety of situations that
while succeeding best on moist lands, Red Top
also flourishes in almost any soil and under all
conditions, even withstanding hottest climates.
Because it is perhaps our most permanent pas¬
ture grass every good hay and pasture mixture
sown should contain a liberal quantity of this
most excellent grass. It remains green for the
greater part of the year, and its long trailing
stems form a very close-matting turf that is
not affected by trampling. Sow 10 or 12 lbs. to
the acre.

Postpaid lb. 50c; 5 lbs. $2.00; 10 lbs. $3.75;

Kentucky Blue Grass

This true perennial combines more true points
of excellence than any other grass. It is the
most widely distributed of all native grasses.
The densely creeping root stock, spreading habit
and smooth even growth of fine texture and
richest green color render Kentucky Blue Grass
highly suitable for producing the rich velvety
green turf so envied in all good lawns. It forms
an early close turf in almost any soil, dry, rocky,
sandy or gravelly, and withstands dry weather
admirably. It takes several years to establish a
heavy sod, and should, therefore, be sown with
other grasses. Soils of Western North Carolina
should be heavily limed before sowing lawns of
Blue Grass. It is also most valuable for pas¬
tures because of its productiveness and the won¬
derful nourishing qualities of the green food.
Sow 25 to 30 lbs. per acre for pasture and 75 to
100 lbs. per acre for lawns.

Postpaid lb. 60c ; 5 lbs. $2.50 ; 10 lbs. $4.75 ;

Meadow Fescue Or Randall Grass

One of the grasses most used in permanent or
temporary meadows for mowing or pasture as it
remains green all winter. It succeeds best in cold,
moist, light soils, in well-drained meadows and
low valleys rich in organic matter. It reaches full
development the second or third year, and then
far exceeds most grasses in productiveness of a
very superior feed, dry or green. After being
mown, it grows up quickly. It is highly relished
by cattle and is most nourishing. Sow 30 to 40 lbs.
to the acre.

Crested Dogstail

A true perennial, forming a smooth compact
and lasting turf. It thrives best on rich, moist
land, but is well adapted for almost any soil.
The roots penetrate deeply into the ground,
which enables it to withstand severe drought. It
is extremely valuable both for lawns and pas¬
tures as a bottom grass, and thrives well In the
shade. It is sown at the rate of 80 lbs. per

acre alone, but recommended only for use in
mixtures.

Cherokee Pasture and Hay Mixture

It has been proven conclusively that many kinds of grass and clover seeds mixed together in proper
proportion will pi-oduce on any soil a much larger yield and a more nutritious crop. It will give more
cuttings and a longer period of grazing. Where a single grass is sown there will be vacant places
that will fill up with weeds, while in a mixture there is seed adapted to all soils and as a result the
whole surface will be covered with good grasses. Each and every variety of grass has its peculiar
characteristics, some will withstand extreme drought, some are early and some are late and as a
result a well-balanced mixture will give a green pasture under all conditions.

Our “CHEROKEE PASTURE MIXTURE” for upland and lowland is a mixture best adapted to the
soils of Western North Carolina, and many of our customers that bought at first in small quantities
are now sending in large repeat orders. The mixtures are giving the greatest satisfaction. When
ordering, please state whether for upland or lowland. Sow 25 to 30 lbs. to the acre.

Millet

TENNESSEE GROWN CULTIVATED GOLD¬
EN MILLET — Millet furnishes food for live stock
in the form of grain, fodder and pasture. Sow
one bushel bi*oadcast to the acre from the middle
of May through July. Makes the best hay if cut
in blossom and carefully cured. Can be used
with Cow Peas, sowing 3 pecks of Millet and

BEFORE BUYING FORAGE SEED

Cane or Sorghum

Is used for forage and making sorghum. One
of the very best crops for dairy cattle that can
be grown, giving bigger yields per acre than
any other forage crop. Plant when the ground
becomes thoroughly warm on a well drained clay
loam in rows 3% feet apart or sow broadcast.

In drills use 5 to 8 lbs. to the acre. Broadcast
sow 50 to 70 lbs. to the acre. Cultivate as you
would corn. After the flowering stage is passed,
but not earlier, it may be pastured or cut for
fodder. Cane may be grown with cow peas and
soy beans.

SUGAR DRIP — This variety of can is used
more than any other for making syi'up in this
locality. It also makes splendid feeding and
ensilage. It grows 10 to 12 feet high with
plenty of leaves for fodder and produces heavy
tonnage per acre. This cane pi’oduces excellent
syrup of good flavor and it is better for forage
purposes than the ordinary forage can. For
syi’up production, cut just as the grain heads
are being formed, as the sugar content of the
plant is highest at this time. Plant this variety
for fodder, grain, ensilage and syrup. This seed
has been l'ecleaned, and it is free of all trash
and dirt.

Postpaid: Gal. 60c; pk. $1.05; % bu. $1.90;
bu. (50 lbs.) $3.40.

Canada Field Peas

Canada Field Peas make a fattening and milk
producing food that will grow on land that will
not produce a grain crop, and at the same time
Improve the soil by gathering and storing nitro¬
gen. In this respect it is almost equal to the
clovers. They yield heavy crops that may be
either grazed or made into hay that stock eat
greedily and thrive on. Vines grow 4 to 5 feet
high, but can be grazed when 6 to 10 inches high.
If not grazed too closely, a second growth may
be had. Pasturing the peas makes them stool out
better and results in a finer growth of vine and
a better hay. Sow as soon as the ground can be
worked. Sow one bushel to the acre and plow in
4 inches deep and then drill in one bushel Oats
to the acre to hold the vines off the ground. If
sown alone use 1^4 bushels to the acre. Inoculate
the Peas with Stimugerm

Seed Oats

The spring varieties of Oats are planted from
February to April and the fall varieties from
September to November. Usually 2 to 3 bu. are
sown broadcast to the acre. Drilling requires
1% to 2 bu. to the acre.

Write for prices in larger quantities than quoted.

BURT OR NINETY-DAY— This is the quickest
growing, most prolific, and surest cropping of all
spring oats. It is a sure header, early maturing
(about two weeks earlier than other varieties)
and is rustproof. The healthy, clean and vigorous
growth produces an abundant yield of bright,
heavy grain. Burt Oats are especially adapted

Postpaid, "pk. 60c; J4 bu. 95c; bu. (32 lbs.) $1.60.
RED RUSTPROOF— They are vigorous grow¬
ers, robust and productive, and have heavy heads.
They are also preferred for sowing in the spring
on low grounds and on land where other varie¬
ties seem inclined to rust. _

Postpaid, pk. 60c; i% bu. 95c; bu. (32 lbs.) $1.60
WHITE SPRING — A very popular variety in
Western North Carolina. It is an excellent
yielder of bright, clean grain ; is extremely hardy
and grows taller than other varieties.

Postpaid, pk. 60c; Y/i bu. 95c; bu. (32 lbs.) $1.60
WINTER TURF — The wide popularity of Win¬
ter Turf Oats is probably due to their hardiness,
since there is no other variety that can with¬
stand such extreme cold. Experiments in prac¬
tically all climates prove that these Oats sel¬
dom winter kill. It has remarkable stooling ten¬
dencies and is a heavy yielder of bright grain
which very often weighs 35 to 40 lbs. per bushel.

Sow from September till November, or early
in the spring. Postpaid, pk. 70c; % bu. $1.10;
bu. (32 lbs.) $1.90.

FULGHUM — The Fulghum is probably the most
popular of the rust-proof winter varieties. Its
productiveness, probably more than any of its
other good qualities, has contributed to the wide
popularity it has attained. They stool out splen¬
didly, have large, full heads, fine, plump grains
and strong straw that stands about 3 feet high,
the length of the straw is well worth considering
if the oats are to be cut for hay. Sow from Sep¬
tember till November or early in the spring.

Postpaid, pk. 60c; bu. 95c; bu. $1.70.

Seed Rye

Rye is a good crop to grow whether wanted
for grain, for grazing, for green feed, for turn¬
ing under to improve the condition of the soil,
or for growing as a cover crop to prevent win¬
ter leaching of plant food from the land. It will
thrive on a greater variety of soils than wheat,
does well in dry seasons and on lands too poor
to produce a profitable crop of wheat. For feed¬
ing green rye will furnish green food earlier
in the spring than most other forage plants.

Sow 1% bu. to the acre broadcast any time
from July to December before freezing weather
sets in. On poor land sow. early.. For grazing
crop, we suggest sowing with Hairy or Winter
Vetch. 25 to 30 lbs. of Vetch with one bushel
of Rye (56 lbs.) to the acre. Inoculate the Vetch
with Stimugerm.

MOUNTAIN RYE— This rye is much hardier
than other varieties and withstands the severest
winters without injury. For this reason and
because it is acclimatized we recommend it above
all other ryes for use in this section. Ask for
prices about the first of July.

ABRUZZI RYE— The best rye for light lands.
Gives a quick, vigorous growth with large well-
filled heads. Matures earlier than Mountain rye.
Ask for prices about July 1st.

Seed Wheat

Wheat is sown in this section during the months
of October and November at the rate of 5 pecks
to the acre. We stock both the slick and bearded
varieties. For smut use 1 lb. copper sulphate to
20 gals, water.

Rape — Dwarf Essex

Rape is possibly the cheapest of all forage crops
to produce. Requires only eight pounds of seed
to the acre and practically the same seed bed
preparation as corn. Unlike corn and many other
crops. Rape requires no cultivation from the time
it is seeded until it is ready to pasture. It is
ready to pasture in about sixty days after seeding,
one acre affording excellent forage for ten to
fifteen hogs or sheep. Rape can be sown alone or
in combination with other grain and grass crops.
Rape sown in combination with oats makes excel¬
lent forage, the oats being drilled in at the rate
of one bushel per acre and the rape seed sown
broadcast at the rate of five to six pounds per
acre. Another good combination and one pos¬
sibly used more extensively than all others is
RAPE SEED, OATS and RED CLOVER. Rape
Seed five to six pounds per acre, oats one bushel
and Red Clover eight pounds per acre. Red
Clover and Rape sown broadcast and the Oats
drilled in. Forage crops such as Rape seed are
especially desirable land coverings for the winter
months when the soil is subject to washing, the
firmly rooted plants adding stability to the soil as
well as producing considerable revenue from land
that would otherwise stand idle throughout the
winter months.

Rape is practically a year-round crop. With
successive planting, Rape forage can be obtained
for almost twelve months of the year. Seeding
can be done from April to October, and usually
as late as the last of November. Forage will be
ready in late spring, growing luxuriantly through¬
out summer, fall and winter months and up un¬
til early spring. Rape can be sown to good ad¬
vantage at the last plowing of corn, following
oats or wheat and other summer crops. Idle
acres can be made to produce liberally during
the winter months when no other erops are being
grown and the crop pastured until spring when
the land can be used for other purposes. Rape
or the combinations mentioned above furnish
splendid green feed for chickens very economi¬
cally.

MISCELLANEOUS AND FORAGE CROPS

Cow Peas

Cow-Peas make one of the largest yielding and
most nutritious forage crops known. There is
also no surer or cheaper means of improving and
increasing the productiveness of the soil.

Cow Peas can be grown on any soil that is not
too wet and do not require expensive fertilizer
and improve the conditions of the soil by adding
nitrogen to it, but a top dressing of 16% Acid
will increase the yield and improve soil conditions
still further. Inoculating seed with Stimugerm
will further increase the nitrogen gathering qual¬
ities of the peas and insure a still more abundant
yield. Plant about 2 inches deep.

Alone sow 1% bu. to the acre in May, June
and July. To enable the vines to be cut and
harvested to better advantage, one bushel of peas
should be sown with % bushel of Soy Beans
or with one peck of cane. For a hay crop, one
bushel can be sown with three pecks of millet
to the acre.

CLAY — One of the medium late varieties. Vig¬
orous growth of vine and running habit. A good
variety for soil-improving and very popular in
all the Southern states. Ask for prices the last
of April.

WHIPPOORWILL — Is more largely grown than
any other named variety, probably because of
its long vine, usually six feet long, and because
of its large yield of both hay and peas. It ma¬
tures early, makes an upright growth, making
it easy to cut. Has brown speckled seeds that
are easily threshed. Ask for prices the last of
April.

EXTRA EARLY BLACK EYE— This is the
earliest variety of Black Eye peas and should be
planted by the market gardener to get the high
price paid for the first black eye peas on the
market. A prolific bearer of well filled pods.
Ask for prices the last of April.

MIXED COW PEAS — Preferred by many farm¬
ers where the crop is intended for soil improv¬
ing ; they will grow thicker than separate va¬
rieties, producing better crop of vines and for¬
age. Ask for prices the last of April.

Soy or Soja Beans

Soy Beans have a higher feeding value than
Cow Peas and stock seem to like the hay bet¬
ter. As a milk and butter producer. Soy Beans
are equal to alfalfa and are considered superior
to cotton seed meal and corn ; makes an excellent
winter feed for young cattle, sheep and horses
when fed with roughage. Can be sown either
broadcast at the rate of 1 to 1% bushels to the
acre or in drills about a peck to the acre. Plant
in May or June, not over 2 inches deep.

Soy Beans can be grown with other crops,
yielding a larger crop of forage, % bushel soy
beans to one bushel of cow peas to the acre, or
one bushel of soy beans with a peck of cane,
make a good combination. 10 lbs. of Sudan

Grass with 50 lbs. soy beans will give a better

balanced feed as the Sudan Grass is low in pro¬
tein, while that of soy bean is high. If the seed
is inoculated with Stimugerm a better stand
will be assured, growth will be promoted and
soil conditions improved enormously.

MAMMOTH YELLOW— We handle this variety
only, as it is the most extensively grown for
beans and forage, both of which it yields in
great abundance. It grows more than 3 feet

high, is erect in growth and can be cut with a

mower. Ask for prices.

Vetch — Hairy, or Winter

Vetch is rapidly coming into favor as a winter
cover crop, also desirable to plow under for
green manure, or can be pastured or cut for hay.
All kinds of stock relish it and thrive on it. It
is claimed that a ton of Vetch Hay contains 50
lbs. of nitrogen and the roots and stubble 12%
lbs. more. Yields several tons of hay to the
acre on good land. If sown in the spring, it will
produce a crop which can be cut for hay in mid¬
summer and second growth pastured afterwards.

Alone sow 60 to 60 lbs. to the acre. Can be
used with Oats, sowing 25 to 30 lbs. of Vetch
with 1 bu. Oats.

In the fall when most generally sown, it is
best to use 25 to 30 lbs. of Vetch with 1 bu. Rye.
Cover seed 1 to 1% inches deep. September and
October are the best months but ordinarily Nov¬
ember is not too late. Vetch does well on any
well-drained land, is never known to winter kill,
and is wonderfully drought resisting. We cannot
too strongly recommend Vetch, especially for fall
sowing. It not only protects the land from win¬
ter leaching, but furnishes a fine pasture in the
early spring and if not grazed too closely can
be cut for hay, and when turned under it im¬
proves the land immensely. When Vetch is sown
in a field for the first time the seed should be
innoculated. This can be done by using Sti¬
mugerm. Ask for prices.

Pop Corn

A profitable crop especially for boys and girls
to raise as it can be sold to grocers and popcorn
venders. It is also one of the best crops for
forage and early feed as it produces an abundant
crop of the highest feeding value. For fodder
plant % bu. to the acre in 3 to 4 foot rows. By

BUCKEYE INCUBATORS— The Perfect Hatchers

The successful poultry breeder is the man or
woman who has learned by experience, and when
you find thousands of such breeders using a cer¬
tain article year after year, you must be con¬
vinced that they have found that article to be
absolutely satisfactory or they would not be us¬
ing it. And when the article in question hap¬
pens to be an incubator, the machine on which
they must depend for the production of all the
chickens they raise, it is a foregone conclusion
that they could not be successful unless the incu¬
bators they are using are producing the highest
percentage of the highest grade chicks, the kind
of chicks that enables them to perpetuate their
stock and turn their product into profit.

Over 600,000 satisfied users represent the proof
that we offer in support of Buckeye superiority —
little breeders, big breeders, beginners, experts —
breeders that include every class from boys and
girls with a little 65-egg machine up to the tre¬
mendous poultry plants with capacities of 50,0(h
eggs and more, all uniting in the same verdict.

isfactorily in any climate, and requires no at¬
tention to the regulator from the time a hatch
is started until it is finished.

It is not necessary to have any previous ex¬
perience to operate a Buckeye. The entire Buck¬
eye system is so simple that a boy or girl can
operate it as satisfactorily as an experienced
operator. Buckeye Standard Incubators are
equipped with every desirable device that can
possibly be added to an incubator. The big
breeders say that there is nothing left undone*
nothing to be wished for, in the “Standard.”

roots; helps choke out weeds; and increases humus in the soil.

It makes flowers larger and more beautiful;
produces early, delicious vegetables; luxuriant
shrubbery; and healthy, full-
foliaged trees. Vigoro is clean,
odorless, and easy to use. It’s
economical, too!
Costs only 100 to
200 for every 100
square feet.

Vigoro for every¬
thing you grow.
