• even a small vegetable garden saves
you money and provides green foods
at their very best
Even a small plot of ground will supply a family with fresh
vegetables all summer long — and there is nothing that takes
the place of fresh picked vegetables. In times like these every
home should have its own garden to help reduce the cost of
living. A dollar or two invested in seeds will save you many
times that amount — and give you the very best of healthful
foods for your table.

CULTURE — Requires some protection during the winter months. If
sown indoors in February or March, and young plants pricked into pots
before setting in open, edible heads may be cut first season. If seeds
sown in March or April, in rows 14 inches apart, and lightly covered
spring, rows 4 feet apart, 2 feet apart in row, and placed firmly in
ground, not too deep.
How to Prepare
Edible parts are base of flower head and midribs of
large blanched leaves; latter are called chards. The
flower head scales must be cut when young and tender,
are generally eaten raw, but may be boiled and served
as salad, or cooked and eaten like asparagus.
Green Globe The noweJ ,hefds are globular
or somewhat elongated. Scales
are green shading to purple. Do not mistake this for
the Jerusalem Artichoke which is a distinct variety used
for stock feed only.
is good for qourKealth
CULTURE — Asparagus, which is one of our earliest spring vegeta¬
bles, is also one of the most widely appreciated and extensively culti¬
vated. Can be grown in any soil which is not too wet. Seed should be
sown in March or April, in rows 14 inchces apart, and lightly covered
with a layer of soil '/2 to inches deep. When the seed is up they
should be thinned out. Prepare permanent bed by digging a trench 18
inches wide and 20
inches deep. Fill one-
third full with well
rotted manure and
tramp it down. Half
fill remaining space
with good soil, and
set the root clumps
of the Asparagus, one
foot apart. Cover
roots to surface with
good soil. The stocks
should not be cut
until a year after
planting and then
but lightly. Full
harvest may be
taken after this.

The Dwarf Limas
dwarf and should be given more space
than the Green and Wax Beans. Put the
seed in edgewise with the eye down, and
if possible avoid planting within two or
three days of rain.
Pole or running beans are usually
planted in specially prepared hills, 3 to
4 feet apart, and supported on poles or
stakes with cross pieces.
Pole Limas should not be planted un¬
til the ground is thoroughly warm.
CULTURE — All class¬
es of beans possess high
nutritive value, due to
their large percentage of
protein, and the home
garden is not complete
without varieties repre¬
senting each class. Al¬
ways select a warm and
fertile soil if available.
Avoid nitrogenous ma¬
nures or fertilizers near
the seeds. As beans will
not withstand cold
weather, it is quite use¬
less to plant before the
ground is reasonably
warm.
Bush Beans are plant¬
ed in rows 24 to 30
inches apart l/2 to 2 inches deep; thin out
to 3 or 4 inches between each bean. Culti¬
vate the soil frequently, but never while the
foliage is wet.

CULTURE — Beets are sown where crop is to grow, in open ground, as
soon as spring frosts are over, 1 inch deep in drills 12 to 15 inches
apart, for convenience in hoeing; and young plants are thinned out, with
a greater or less space between them, usually about 4 inches, according
to size of variety grown. The thinnings from crop make excellent greens.
They thrive in well enriched, moist soil, with plenty of sunshine. Growth
will be greatly stimulated with a slight application of Nitrate of Soda.

CULTURE — Soil should be plowed deeply and well pulverized. Rows
should be two and a half to three feet apart and seed sown four to five
pounds to the acre. When plants are four inches high thin to about 12
to 15 inches apart in the row.
Plants taken out during thinning process can be planted elsewhere
and will mature a little later than main crop.
Every farmer who has any stock whatever should plant at least a
small acreage of Mangels. They grow on almost any kind of soil, but
a rich, moist one is preferred. As they require but a short growing
season it is better not to plant them too early but to wait until you can
get the soil in good condition.

Stein’s Early Dwarf
One of the few vegetables that home gardeners can enjoy
the year round. There are early cabbages, late cabbages,
round heads, flat
heads, and pointed
heads; green and red
cabbages, smooth-
leaved and curled¬
leaved. Our cab¬
bage seed is very
carefully selected
and true to type.
One ounce of seed
will produce about
2,000 plants.
About 16,000 early
or 8,000 late cab¬
bage plants are
set to the acre.
CULTURE — The different kinds of cabbages vary so much that it is
impossible to lay down precise rules for the cultivation of even each
entire class or section. A cool moist climate has been proven the most
suitable of all for culture of cabbages. Heat and drought are very in¬
jurious to them, while they grow well in moist, foggy weather, even
when somewhat cold. The ground should be dug rather deeply and
plentifully fertilized. Cover the seed to /2 inch deep. Early vari®T
ties may be set as close as 16 or IS inches, the rows being 30 to 36
inches apart. For late varieties leave 18 to 24 inches between plants.
Plants started in cold frames are set out early in April and seeds plant¬
ed at the same time will give plants for succession crop. Plants for the
late crop are started in May or June. These are then transplanted to
where the crop is to grow. Plants should be watered from time to time
during the summer, and should be protected from insects.

About 65 Days. When matured Pe Tsai resembles Cos
Lettuce more than cabbage. Used in salads like celery or
lettuce, or may be cooked like asparagus. For spring
planting, it should be planted very early, as it runs to
seed very quickly in hot weather. Will not assume the
rather celery-like form unless the plants are banked up
as they grow or the leaves tied up over the center to hold
it in upright position and at the same time blanching the
inner leaves and leaf stems.

CULTURE — Any garden soil will grow
carrots. For early crops sow as early in the
spring as possible and in rows 18 inches to
2 feet apart. Cover not more than ■/•> inch
deep. When the plants are about 3 to 4
inches high thin out to 2 inches apart for
the small early varieties and 4 inches apart
for the late ones. Give them plenty of room.
Keep them thoroughly hoed.

row-like. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; >4 lb., 80c; 1 lb., $3.00.
CAULIFLOWER
CULTURE — Clean and thorough cultivation is absolutely essential to
success with this very exacting vegetable. On heavy clay soils frequent
cultivation, that creates a dust mulch, will often make up for an insuf¬
ficient water supply. Hoe right close to the plants, giving shallow culti¬
vation as they expand. The “heads” to be kept white and tender, must
be protected from the sun soon after they begin to form by tying the
leaves together over them. The seed is sown in April for an early crop
and in July for a fall crop.

SWEET CORN
CULTURE — The seed should be planted about 2 inches deep, in drills
3 feet apart and thinned to a single stalk every 10 to 14 inches in the
row. The cultivation should be frequent and thorough, all weeds should
be kept down, and all suckers removed from around the base of plant.
On account of fertilization it is best not to plant a single variety in a
long row but to plant each variety in blocks of several short rows.
Sweet Corn is at its best when a slight pressure of the finger nail
will cause the kernel to burst and a milky juice appears.
One pound will plant 275 hills, and 14 pounds will plant about an
aero in drills.

row or four pounds to the acre. Matures in about
130 days.
CULTURE — A light warm soil is preferable but
they will grow in almost any soil if there is
good drainage. When all danger of frost is past
sow the seed about /2 inch deep in hills 4 feet
apart each way. Earlier crops may be had by start¬
ing the plants in a hotbed and transplanting about
three or four of the young plants to a hill or by
using Hotkaps. Keep the soil well fertilized and well
cultivated between the plants until the vines cover
it. Keeping them picked before they reach full size
will cause the plants to bear longer.

CULTURE — Lettuce needs cool weather, plenty of moisture and
plenty of room. Young lettuce plants are very hardy and for this reason
the seed can be sown very early in the spring. The soil should be well
prepared, the seed sown in rows about 2 feet apart, seeds about two to
the incch and covered from (4 to [4 inch. When the plants are about
2 inches tall thin them to 2 inches apart, then a little later to 4
inches apart. Repeat this until the plants will be one foot apart when
mature. In growing head lettuce it is important that the heads develop
as much as possible during cool weather. For this reason the seed is
usually sown in hotbeds and plants set in the field when weather per¬
mits. One ounce will sow a row 80 feet long; four pounds to the acre.

WINTER SQUASHES
CULTURE — The seed is sown in the spring, where
the plants are to stand, in drills 10 to 12 inches
apart. If the weather is dry at the time of sowing,
the drills should be watered a few times to assist the
germination, which is always somewhat uncertain.

Mammoth Sandwich Island
A wonderful improvement over the old va¬
riety. Oyster plant is a delicious vegetable
and should be cultivated for winter use.
Linnaeus
Kincr Hp.mr«jirk The leaves are dark green, large,
IVmg OI UenmarK r0Und, and well blistered. It has
the advantage over other Spinach as it holds up well un¬
der the July sun, adding two weeks to the season. It is
fairly early.
CULTURE — The vining or winter squashes require a lot of room but
the bush or summer squashes can be grown in any moderate garden.
The summer or bush squashes should be planted in hills from 4 to 5
feet apart and the winter or vining kinds in hills from 6 to 10 feet
apart. Squashes are heavy feeders and it is therefore beneficial to put
two or three forkfuls of manure in each hill. Plant from ten to twelve
seeds in each hill, but when the plants are of fair size thin them down
to three plants to the hill.

in September, and if in exposed places it is sometimes covered with
straw during the winter. For summer use it may be sown at intervals
of three weeks, from March to August.

CULTURE — For a small garden, sow a few seeds in a shal¬
low box or flower pot the beginning of March, and place in a
sunny window. About May 15th, set plants in the garden, 3

Make Floivers Your Friends and They Will Make Friends For You
Passers-by judge the occupants of a house only by its
surroundings.
A few years ago the back yard was a place better left
unseen. It was usually piled with rubbish or left bleak
and barren, and certainly was not a pleasant sight to look
upon, either from the rear windows or from the street.
Today it is a place of quiet beauty and peacefulness,
where we are proud to take our guests.
There is no soil too rocky or too poor to grow some
kind of flowers. If you have rocks, make a rock garden.
If your soil is very poor, this book will tell you the kinds
of flowers which can be grown on poor soil. It only
means the scattering of a few little brown or black seeds,
and in the course of two or three months you will marvel
at the transformation into a wealth of gay yellows, blues,
pinks, purples or reds.
You can change the scenery of your back yard every
year with annuals.
Most plants can be divided into two classes, Annuals
and Perennials. Annuals are one-year plants. The seed is
sown; the plants bloom, produce seed and die the same
year. Many of our prettiest garden flowers are annuals.
They are inexpensive, give a wealth of bloom, are admir¬
able for the rented house garden, and are adaptable td
most soils and climates.
Amaranthus
2 to 5 feet. These robust an¬
nuals are grown for their bril¬
liantly colored foliage. They grow very tall and
are very effective and showy garden plants, adapt¬
ed for centers and backgrounds of flower beds.

well adapted where
careless effects are de¬
sired.

• • ZINNIAS • •
The Zinnia is easily grown from seed sown in the open ground.
Of late, great improvements have been wrought both in color and
form of the flower. To secure large flowers and a profusion of bloom
the plants must be given ample room for full development, as well as
an abundant supply of food. Strong, rich soils suit the Zinnia.

Raising Hardy Perennials
From Seed
Hardy perennials are easily grown from
seed. In many cases they are a little slower
than annuals, but with care they are suc¬
cessfully raised from seed with much less
expense than buying the plants. Tender and
half-hardy perennials are best sown in
spring after frost is over. Hardy perennials
are sown in the late summer and early fall
for next year’s flowers.

BARTELDES
Tested SEED CORN
YELLOW VARIETIES
KAW CHIEF. The corn is of a deep, golden yellow color,
ears large, measuring up to 13 and 14 inches in length
and have 16, 18 and 20 rows to the cob. A bushel of Kaw
Chief Corn on the ear will yield 58 to 60 pounds of shell¬
ed corn. Kaw Chief Corn matures in from 95 to 105 days,
and ordinarily yields for 75 to 80 bushels per acre.
The difference between good seed and poor seed is al¬
ways several bushel per acre and sometimes means all the
difference between success and failure.
Our seed is selected in the ear, then tipped, butted, shell¬
ed and cleaned. Above all, it is tested for germination and
we put the germination on the tag.
GRADED CORN. This takes out nearly all of the uneven
kernels. The cost of this is 25c per bushel extra.
REID’S YELLOW DENT (100 days). Ears medium size,
remarkably uniform, a bright yellow color with a deep
grain and small red cob.
PRIDE OF THE NORTH (90 days). This variety has
smaller ears than the late kinds, but is valuable, as it
matures early. Planted as late as July 4th, it has fully
matured by October 2nd. A light orange color.
IMPROVED LEAMING (90 days). This is one of the
earliest yellow dent corns in cultivation, ripening in 90 to
100 days from planting. Orange yellow color and red cob.
IOWA GOLD MINE (90 days). It is early, ears of good
size and symmetrical; color bright golden yellow.
GOLDEN BEAUTY (100 days). The ears are of perfect
shape with from 10 to 14 straight rows of bright golden
yellow grains, remarkable in size and filled out complete¬
ly to the extreme end of the cob.
WHITE VARIETIES
PRIDE OF SALINE. Pride of Saline is a medium early,
about like Silver Mine and Reid’s. The ears are of me¬
dium size, the corn is pearly white, medium short, quite
rectangular in shape and rather hard. In variety tests
at Manhattan it outyielded every other variety for three
straight years. If you want to fill your corn crib, plant
Pride of Saline.
BOONE COUNTY WHITE (100 days). Medium late, ears
large, well proportioned. This variety yields well, even in
a dry season.
IOWA SILVER MINE (90 days). The ears measure from
10 to 12 inches in length, 16 to 20 straight rows of deep,
pure white kernels on a small cob.
HICKORY KING (110 days). It is a great yielder, giving
more shelled corn to the bushel of ears than any other
variety.
BRAZILIAN or STOOLING FLOUR CORN
This corn is inclined to stool. It produces an abundance
of fodder, and is fine for ensilage, ground and bolted by
the same process as wheat, gives a fine flour.
CROSS-BRED or HYBRID CORN
An Achievement in Scientific Agriculture.
Excels the common varieties in hardiness and vigor,
and should show an increase in yield of 10 bushels or
more per acre.
The corn is hardy, should be planted early and is ex¬
tremely drought resistant.
The ears are of medium size, but there are no barren
stalks. Every stalk produces one good ear and often a sec¬
ond smaller ear. It is this absence of barren stalks that
brings the yields up to a hundred bushels per acre. The
grain is of average depth and bright golden yellow color.
COST? An increase in yield of only two bushels per
acre pays the extra cost and everything above that is
clear profit.
Red Corn
BLOODY BUTCHER (100 days). This
corn resists the drought. Ears long,
grain deep red, having sometimes a yellow tip.
Odd Varieties SQUAW ,C0BN. <90. ,days'- Blue-
(Semi-flmt). This variety grows very
dwarf, resisting drought. It is early. Ears are rather small
and the kernels are blue or white and blue.
CALICO (100 days). The Old-Fashioned Red, White and
Yellow. Ears are large, grains deep and cob small. Very
rich in protein and a good feed for stock.
PLANT NOTHING BUT TESTED CORN.
TREAT ALL SEED CORN WITH SEMESAN JR.
IT PAYS.
ALFALFA
Alfalfa Seed Prices Lowest in Twenty Years
Don’t pass up this opportunity to seed alfalfa at an ex¬
tremely low cost. You may may not see such prices again
in twenty years.
THE BEST IS CHEAP THIS SEASON.
In spite of the fact that everyone knows that alfalfa
is a profitable crop the acreage in the middle west has
been decreasing in recent years. In our opinion this is due
primarily to two causes. First: Farmers have sown too
much alfalfa seed which was not adapted to local con¬
ditions. And second: Sufficient care was not used in pre¬
paring the seed bed.
All soils will not produce afalfa, but there is some soil
on practically every farm that will produce it profitably.
Alfalfa requires a soil of good drainage, medium fertility
and medium depth. Many soils are deficient in lime and
in such cases lime must be added to grow alfalfa. Your
county agent or experiment station will test your soil free.
This is important.
Your alfalfa may become naturally inoculated by the
bacteria in the soil, but to insure inoculation, we advise
artificial inoculation of the seed. This is not expensive.
Alfalfa needs fertilizer. Acid phosphate with manure or
acid phosphate alone have made wonderful increases in
yields. Your county agent can tell you more about this.
In buying alfalfa seed be sure that you get seed which
is adapted to your climatic conditions. We recommend
Kansas grown seed for the middle west with Oklahoma
and Utah seed for second choice. For Colorado we rec¬
ommend Colorado seed first and Utah seed second.
Grimm Alfalfa Grimm Alfalfa is becoming more
popular every year. We have
never heard of an instance in the United Setates where
it has winter killed.

CLOVER — GRASS
SEEDS
at Lowest Prices in History
SWEET CLOVER
The features or qual¬
ities which make Sweet
Clover so valuable are:
First, the ability to thrive,
produce good hay and
good pasture on very
poor soils; and second,
the ability to improve the
soil on which it is grow¬
ing.
Although Sweet Clover
is very hardy and will
thrive in the most unfav¬
orable places, is is some¬
times difficult to get a
good stand. This difficul¬
ty can be overcome by
sowing the seed on a
thoroughly c o m p a c ted
seed bed with just enough
loose dirt to cover and by
sowing scarified seed.
WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER (Melilotus alba).
A biennial, grows to a height of from 4 to 6 feet, vigorous
grower, extremely hardy and produces abundant pastur¬
age and lots of hay. This is the standard Sweet Clover
of the country.
BIENNIAL YELLOW BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER
(Melilotus officinalis). This is also a biennial, about two
weeks earlier than the white, not quite as tall. Do not
confuse this with the annual Yellow Blossom which is of
very little value.
RED CLOVER (Trifolium Pratensis). Be careful to select
seed which does not contain Buckhorn. You can depend
on our Sunflower and Columbine brands of Red Clover.
BURR CLOVER (Medicago Maculata). Most desirable
for Southern states and California. Sown in August, Sep¬
tember and October, 15 pounds per acre.
CRIMSON CLOVER (Trifolium Incarnatum). An annual.
Four weeks earlier than Red Clover, heavy yielder, makes
good hay.
WHITE CLOVER (Trifolium Repens). A hardy perennial,
excellent for mixing with Kentucky Blue Grass for lawns
and pasture.
ALSIKE CLOVER (Trifolium Hybridum). Especially val¬
uable for growing on wet or swampy land.
ESPARSETTE OR GERMAN CLOVER (Onobrychis
Sativa). Perennial. Same family as alfalfa, is adapted to
light, chalky soils, stands gravel and barren regions de¬
ficient in rainfall, blooms in July. Very good feed for
cows.
MAMMOTH SAPLING OR PEA VINE CLOVER. A rank
grower which makes it a valuable fertilizer.
JAPAN CLOVER (Lespedeza Striata). Perennial of low
spreading habit. Will stand excessive heat, flourish on
poor soil, and makes a fair green hay.
KOREAN LESPEDEZA. A plant similar to clover and the
best of the Lespedeza types. It has an advantage over
alfalfa and sweet clover, in that it will grow on untreated
soil, no lime or phosphate being needed. Korean Lespedeza
can be grazed all spring and summer and hay can be cut
or seed taken from the crop in the fall. Agriculturists
state their “belief” that this Lespedeza is the “coming
legume.”
PASTURE GRASS SEEDS
ORCHARD GRASS (Dactylis Glomerata). Withstands
droughts, grows well in the shade, flourishes in wet or
poor ground. Good pasture for cows. Sow 20 to 25 pounds
per acre.
MEADOW FESCUE OR ENGLISH BLUE GRASS (Fes-
tuca Pratensis). Especially adapted for permanent pas¬
ture. Succeeds on poor soils, makes good hay earlier than
other varieties, cattle thrive on it whether in dry or
green state. Withstands dry weather and freezing, and
produces an abundant crop of seed. Sow 15 to 20 pounds
to the acre. A mixture of % Meadow Fescue and y3 Ken¬
tucky Blue Grass is fine for lawns.
BROMUS INERMIS OR HUNGARIAN BROME GRASS.
Cattle like it, wonderful drought resister, and will stand
intense cold. Aside from
alfalfa no grass has ful¬
filled the promise to the
western farmer better
than Bromus Inermis.
TALL MEADOW OAT
(Avena Elatior). Its early
growth in spring makes
it equal to rye pasture.
Grows quickly after mow¬
ing, and gives a dense
and succulent aftermath.
Broadcast 30 pounds to
the acre.
BERMUDA GRASS (Cy-
nadon Dactylon). Ber¬
muda grass lawns remain
green all summer without
artificial watering. Seed
is sown at the rate of one
pound to 500 square feet,
for lawns and 3 to 5
pounds per acre for pas¬
ture.
PERENNIAL ENGLISH RYE (Lolium perenne). Largely
used in lawn and pasture mixtures. It makes a rich, green
sod and a nutritious hay. Lasts for years. For pasture
sow in spring 25 to 30 pounds to the acre; for lawns 60
to 75 pounds to the acre.
ITALIAN RYE (Lolium Italicum). Surpasses perennial in
earliness and nutrition. Particular as to soil, and lasts
only two years. Sow 30 to 40 pounds to the acre.
TIMOTHY (Phleum Pratense). Well adapted to spring
and summer grazing, greatly relished by all kinds of stock,
especially horses. . Excellent hay crop. Sow 10 to 12
pounds to the acre.
RED TOP GRASS. One of our best native grasses. Espe¬
cially valuable for sowing on sour or acid soils, swampy
or meadow lands, liable to overflow, and on soils that are
not rich enough for Timothy and other grasses. Mixed
with Alsike Clover makes fine crop of hay or excellent
pasture. Fourteen pounds of solid seed to the acre. Should
be cut when in full flower. More easily cured than any
other grass.
JOHNSON GRASS (Sorghum Halapense). We do not offer
Johnson Grass for sowing in Kansas. It is a perennial, a
rapid grower with long cane-like roots; leaf, stalk and
pinnacle resemble those of sorghums. Grows on any land
where corn will grow. Ten pounds to the acre.
Sudan Grass
A tall, leafy annual grass of the sorghum family. It is a
native of a hot, dry climate and naturally adapted to the
dry conditions of the middle west; a hay crop which yields
an average of two cuttings or about four tons of fine hay
per acre, but each year more and more farmers are using
it as summer pasture. When planted for this purpose 15
to 25 pounds with a grain drill should be sown. When
planted for seed, sow 2 to 4 pounds to the acre.

moving arsenic. Vegetables and fruits sprayed with
Ever Green do not require special washings.

APHICIDE
KILLS APHIS
Aphicide is the result of careful investigations and ex¬
periments to combine nicotine with a special combina¬
tion dust carrier. This dust is so fine that it resembles
smoke and penetrates even to the under side of the leaves.
Melon and cucumber growers should keep Aphicide on
hand at all times and be prepared to kill the aphis as
soon as they appear.
Aphicide No. 10 kills Onion Thrips. This dust when
blown on the plants reaches the Thrips readily and kills
them; resulting in thrifty plants when otherwise the
crops might be destroyed.
It is very effective on the Striped Cucumber Beetle.

Clipper Seed and Grain Cleaners
You no doubt have admired the purity of our Alfalfa, Clover, and other seeds. All of these
were cleaned on Clipper Mills and show the quality of the work done by these excellent clean¬
ers. We have been using Clipper Mills in our warehouses for over 40 years and we know
they do good work.
The Clipper cleans by means of screens which separate the grains of different sizes and
also by means of a vertical air blast which separates seeds of different weights.
Each mill is equipped with a complete set of 12 screens, especially selected for general
seed and grain cleaning. The No. IB and No. 2B are identical except in size, capacity, and
price. We can furnish a 6-inch driving pulley so that power can be used.

COMBE PRINTING CO.. ST. JOSEPH. MO.
Grass seeds are cheaper now than they have been in 40
years. Now is the time to re-seed or make a new lawn.
When you make a lawn you expect to enjoy it for years to come, so do the
job right and you will be amply repaid for your trouble.
There are three requisites for a good lawn. First, a good depth of rich
and well drained soil. Second, a sufficient amount of food for the grass.
Third, a liberal sowing of good clean seed bought from a reliable company,
and the seed should be of a variety adapted to your climate.
Select your grass seed from these time tried varieties
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS
Always reliable. The standard grass seed in
America for lawns and pastures. One pound
should be sown for every 150 square feet, or for
every plot 10 by 15 feet. Sow 30 pounds to the
acre for pasture.
SUNFLOWER LAWN MIXTURE
Made up principally of Kentucky Blue Grass and
White Clover with some other grasses which will
grow rapidly and make a showing quickly. How¬
ever, the other grasses will soon be driven out by
the Kentucky Blue Grass and White Clover and
the combination of these two insures a perfect
lawn.
QUICK GREEN LAWN GRASS
A fine mixture of Kentucky Blue, Meadow Fescue
and White Clover. Makes a fine showing very
quickly and makes a good permanent lawn. One
pound to a plot 10 by 12 feet.
SHADY NOOK MIXTURE
A mixture of fine grasses which will do well in
the shade. Eliminate those bare spots north of the
house and under trees by using Shady Nook. One
pound to every plot 10 by 20 feet.
CREEPING BENT
The best grass for putting greens. Spreads by
means of runners and forms a heavy turf which
smothers dandelions, crab grass and other weeds.
Also used for lawns. Plant one pound to 450
square feet.
SEASIDE BENT
Makes a splendid lawn of bright green color.
Forms a thick, dense turf, and keeps out dande¬
lions and other weeds admirably. Also fine to use
in thickening up old lawns. Plant same amount
as Creeping Bent. Is proving itself to be especial¬
ly adapted to Middle Western conditions.
