England soils, and we use only the finest
recleaned grass seed in the making of it.

pounds to the bushel. Sow 1 pound to

to grow. In making this mixture, we

Lb. 45 cts., 5 lbs. $2, 10 lbs. $3.75, 50 lbs. $17.50, 100 lbs. $32.50

have selected only the types of grasses
suitable for growing under these con¬
ditions.

BENT LAWNS

For the past few years there has been
a great demand for lawns of the same
texture and fineness of the putting green.
These can be established with special

care and attention and the use of the
proper seed and fertilizer. Our Bent
Grasses are the finest obtainable. See
them offered on page 46.

SPECIAL MIXTURES. We carry at all times most of the different varieties of grasses
separate, as we have orders for special mixtures of grasses wanted for peculiar situations, such
as very sandy soils, terraces, etc. We will gladly make these mixtures in whatever proportion
our customers desire, and will furnish reliable information in regard to them.

- BARRETT’S SEEDS *

We take great pleasure in presenting our 86th Annual Seed and Implement Catalogue.

We have given data on the varieties of seed as accurate as can be compiled.

You will find new varieties that have been tested and proved superior to some of
the older strains, and also all the standard varieties that have been so popular in the past.

Our seed is obtained from the most reliable sources of supply, because we are in touch
with the best seed-breeders and growers all over the world.

On larger quantities of seed not listed in this Catalogue, we will gladly quote special
prices to market-gardeners, farmers, and others who use seeds in larger quantities.

We have been supplying most of the market-gardeners and farmers in this locality
for a great many years with seed of the very best newer varieties for market consumption.

We will gladly give the germination figures on any of our vegetable seeds, and while
we cannot absolutely guarantee them, we obtain our figures from the best seed labora¬
tories in the country.

A New Barrett Service

A great many of our customers have applied to us to assist them in obtaining the services
of reliable men for general landscaping work or to work as private gardeners. We have on file
at all times the names of men who are experienced in the different lines of work and who can
furnish the best of references as to their ability and their characters.

These names we will gladly furnish to any of our customers who feel that they would like
to use this service. We cannot assume any responsibility for these men, but you can rest assured
that we will not give them any consideration unless we think they are worthy and reliable.

Making and Maintaining

the Lawn

While good Lawn Seed is absolutely necessary in making and maintaining an attractive
lawn, there are other requisites that are almost as important, such as Fertilizers, and we highly
recommend the following for that purpose— Wizard Brand Sheep Manure, Vigoro, Fine-
ground Bone, and Land Lime. We can furnish any of these in quantities to suit all needs.

Maintaining a beautiful lawn calls for considerable labor, and this can be very much light¬
ened by the use of the proper tools, such as Lawn Rollers to keep the ground in good condition;
Lawn Mowers, both Motor and Hand, for trimming; Bamboo, Steel, and Wood Rakes for
raking; and Garden Hose for use in case of drought. We also carry a fine line of Spades and
Shovels.

To insure a really fine lawn, there are several requisites: a good depth of rich soil, properly
drained; a liberal dressing of decayed manure (if unable to obtain the manure, a good compost
or a good application of peat-moss and a good chemical fertilizer); and a sufficient amount of
moisture to keep the grass from drying out. Smooth the surface with harrow and rake, and
use a roller to make it firm and even before sowing the seed. Next sow the seed as evenly as
possible, and then rake in lightly and roll the surface smooth again.

Watering is the life of a lawn. A thorough soaking once in a while is best. Water that
does not go down deep tends to shallow rooting — a bad thing in hot weather.

Reseeding. In reseeding lawns that have become worn out by neglect or other causes,
where it is not desirable to renew by plowing, it may be found very beneficial to run a light
harrow over them, if the surface is large, or use a sharp steel rake for smaller spots. After
this has been done, Lawn Seed should be sown over the surface, raking in about half the quantity
advised for a new lawn, then rolling the surface smooth or tamping it with a tamper.

A much better stand of grass may be obtained by treating the seed with Semesan before

sowing; also spray the soil. See page 51

Asters

The Queen of the Annuals

The Aster is the most popular fall flower
grown, and justly so because of its easy culture,
season of bloom, and lasting qualities, both in
the garden and as a cut-flower. To cut Asters
abundantly as long as possible, several sowings
should be made of the early, midseason, and
late-flowering types. To succeed with Asters,
sow the seed in flats in the house or hotbed in
March, transplant the seedlings, 2 inches apart,
in boxes, when they are large enough to handle,
and move to permanent beds in May. Make
the second sowing in the coldframe the latter
part of April, and the third the latter part of
May. Set the plants of early varieties 10 inches
apart, and of later varieties 18 inches apart.
The richer the ground the better your flowers
will be, and water is very necessary.

diameter, exhibit the grace and beauty of the
single Aster, enhanced by a golden yellow

stems which make it invaluable as a cut-
flower. Mixed Colors. Pkt. 15 cts.; ffoz. 75c.

healthy blooms.

FOR FARM, MARKET, AND KITCHEN GARDENS

Best Adapted to this Climate

We Will Furnish Accurate Germination Tests on All Our Vegetable Seeds

Artichoke

Globe Artichoke. Matures second year. A perennial culti¬
vated for its flower-buds, which are cooked like asparagus.
Sow seed in the greenhouse or hotbed in March, and when
all danger of frost is over, set plants out about 3 feet apart.
Mulch over winter, so that the crowns are not choked.
Requires warm weather to grow to perfection. Pkt. 15 cts.;
p£oz. 40 cts.; oz. 75 cts.

Asparagus

This is one of the first and finest spring relishes which come
to the table from the garden, and it really requires very little
trouble in cultivation, since a bed once properly made and
planted will last for years. The soil for the bed can hardly be
made too rich, and the fertilizer should be well trenched in to
the depth of 2 feet or more. The roots should be planted as
early in spring as the ground can be prepared, setting them a
foot apart in rows 3 or 4 feet apart, with the crowns from 4 to
6 inches below the surface of the bed. Asparagus seed may be
sown directly in the permanent bed and the plants thinned as
they grow; or it may be sown elsewhere, and the seedlings
transplanted the second year. Fair crops may be expected
the third year.

One ounce of seed will produce 100 plants; 4 pounds will sow an acre
Giant Argenteuil. A popular variety, with large thick
stalks; very productive.

Mary Washington. A variety of recent introduction. Very
large and free from blight.

Palmetto. One of the earliest; of large and fine growth..

BEANS

Dwarf or Bush

Beans are among our most valuable farinaceous foods, and
form a market staple everywhere. The seeds should not be
planted before the ground becomes light and warm, in favor¬
able seasons usually about the first of May. Bush Limas should
not be planted so early as other sorts, as Limas are particu¬
larly sensitive to cold and damp. The soil should be rich and
mellow, and the seeds scattered about 3 inches apart in drills
from 3 to 3^ feet apart, and covered about 2 inches deep.
The plants will need frequent hoeing, but should never be
cultivated when the leaves are wet with dew or rain, as this
will cause them to rust. Sowings made at intervals of about
two weeks until the middle of July will give a supply all season.
One pound of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; 60 pounds, an acre

Wax or Yellow-Podded Beans

Brittle Wax. 52 days. Fleshy, round, solid pods, tender,
brittle, entirely stringless, with a rich flavor. The seeds are
white with a black eye.

Currie’s Rustproof Wax. 52 days. Valuable from the fact
that it seems to be “rustproof,” after having been tested
with other Beans which rusted badly.

Golden-Eye Wax. Extremely vigorous. Pods clear, creamy
white, very long, flat, but fleshy, stringless and of good
quality; very free from blight and a heavy cropper. Popular
in this vicinity.

Golden Wax. 50 days. A very popular variety. The vines
are hardy, productive; pods long, straight, flattish, very
fleshy and wax-like; of the best quality. Beans are small,
oval, white, shaded purplish red.

New Round-Pod Kidney Wax. 56 days. One of the best
round-podded Wax Beans.

Pencil-Pod Black Wax. 52 days. The earliest of the Wax
Beans, having beautiful, long, round pods, entirely string¬
less. The seed is all black.

Green-Podded Bush Beans

Asgrow Valentine. 49 days. New. A stringless black Bean
of easiest culture, quick growing, hardy, prolific and a good
shipper. Unsurpassed for market.

Black Valentine. 48 days. One of the best varieties to raise
for early market, because of its hardiness, earliness, and
good cropping quality.

Boston Favorite or Goddard. Large, handsome pods,
tender and fine for use as snaps; seeds very large and of
delicious flavor, whether used green or dry. The bushes
yield heavy crops.

Bountiful. 49 days. The pods are long, flat, of good quality,
and entirely stringless; early and prolific.

Burpee’s Stringless Green-Pod. 52 days. This is an ex¬
tremely early, hardy and productive variety bearing an
abundance of handsome stringless green pods of fine quality.
French Dwarf Horticultural. 70 days. This variety, for a
Shell Bean, is very popular. It is a heavy cropper; pods long
and almost entirely scarlet in color, well filled. Does not
blight.

Low’s Champion. 56 days. Very productive, with stringless,
large, green, flat pods. Excellent as either a String or a
Shell Bean.

Stringless Green-Pod. 52 days. Improved type of String¬
less Green-Pod. Slimmer pods than Burpee’s Stringless.
Fine for home-garden.

Ruby Dwarf Horticultural. 60 days. Furnishes green-
podded Beans of fine quality; the seeds are yellowish white,
with red splashes; large, oval, plump, and are easily shelled.
Tendergreen or New Stringless. 53 days. A new variety of
remarkably fine quality. Early, hardy, and very prolific.
Tender, stringless, light green, round pods about 7 inches
long.

Bush Lima Beans

Pole Beans

Bush Lima Beans

Burpee’s Bush Lima. 75 days. Immensely popular. The
plants come true from seed, and the dwarf habit has become
well fixed. They grow into splendid branching bushes, 18 to
20 inches high and 2 to 3 feet across.

Fordhook Bush Lima. 75 days. This Bush Lima is of uni¬
formly erect bush habit, branching freely, but with all the
branches held upright. It bears tremendous crops and sets
plump, well-IHIed pods freely, even in a cool, wet season.
Henderson’s Bush Lima. 65 days. Two weeks earlier than
the Pole Limas, and the bushes bear long and continuously.
Beans of the small Sieva type.

Pole or Running Beans

Pole Beans are not so hardy as the Bush sorts, and should
be planted several weeks later, when danger from frost is over.
Plant the seeds in slightly raised hills, 3 to 4 feet apart, four or
five seeds to the hill. The Limas are especially tender, and the
rule for late outside planting with them is rigid. Painstaking
cultivators, usually the most successful, plant them eye down¬
ward, setting stout poles for every hill.

One pound of seed will sow 100 hills; 30 pounds , an acre

Golden Cluster Wax. 75 days. One of the best Pole Wax
Beans. Excellent flavor and very tender.

Ideal Market. Green-podded. Very good home-garden
variety. Entirely stringless.

Wonder, except the pods are light waxy yellow, thick, broad,
very tender, of delicious flavor and stringless.

Mammoth Horticultural. 75 days. Long, stringless pods of
excellent quality when young. The dried Beans are tan,
speckled with dull red; grown extensively for winter use.
Old Homestead or Improved Kentucky Wonder. 78
days. Excellent; very productive; pods a silvery green color,
large and entirely stringless.

Scarlet Runner. 64 days. Very ornamental, free climber
with bright scarlet flowers.

White Runner. Large, white flowers; often planted with the
scarlet variety; the effect is very fine.

Worcester Pole. Beans and pods much larger than the
ordinary Horticultural. Used as Shell Beans.

Pole Lima Beans

Extra-Early Sieva. 85 days. A standard variety. The Beans
are buttery in flavor.

King of the Garden. 88 days. An improvement on the Large

in hotbeds, and transplant to open ground as soon as it is
warm enough. For main crop, sow outside in drills 18 inches
apart, and cover lightly. Sow in July for winter crops.

One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; 6 pounds, an acre

deep, rich yellow, very sweet and nutritious. In shape a
little shorter than Norbiton Giant, but thicker. A very
heavy cropper.

preferred by many to common Long Red, as it is considered
of better keeping quality; good for deep soils.

White French Sugar. 80 days. Much grown in Europe for
sugar-making; very sweet and keeps well; much relished by
stock. The Beets are very large and the yield per acre is

Calabrese. 1 10 days. A sprouting variety. Forms a large
head which remains green; when head is cut out, small
sprouts develop from the upper side of each leaf branch.
Sow in the open ground during the early summer; matures
in three months.

Early Special Calabrese. 100 days. An improved strain of
the Calabrese type, maturing 7 to 10 days earlier.

Rape. Grown for the delicious greens it produces.

Brussels Sprouts

Species of cabbage, with small, solid, tender heads clustered
thickly along the main stem. Properly cooked and seasoned,
they are delicious, melting away in the mouth like fine cauli¬
flower. Sow seed in April or May and cultivate like cabbage.
Hardy, and the heads are improved by frost.

One ounce of seed will produce 3,000 plants; 4 ounces will sow an acre
Dwarf Improved. 125 days. Plants dwarf, with small, solid,
tender heads growing very close together along the stem.

Carrots

Carrots succeed best on light, sandy loam, which, preferably,
should have been well fertilized the previous year, as fresh
manure often causes the roots to grow pronged and mis¬
shapen. Sow the seed as early in spring as the ground can be
prepared, firming the soil down over it. If sown late, it should
be soaked in tepid water, then mixed with plaster or sifted
coal-ashes, and sown on freshly prepared soil. Quick germina¬
tion and rapid growth are necessary.

Sow l/4ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill; 2*4 lbs. to an acre
Asgrow Imperator. 77 days. New. An outstanding type
bred for market-garden use. Top medium but strong enough
for bunching. Flesh rich orange color, with indistinct core,
fine-grained, tender, and of fine quality.

Chantenay. 70 days. Handsome roots, broad-shouldered and
smooth, and more uniform than the Danvers. Of superior
flavor.

Danvers Half-Long. 75 days. Enormously productive;
adapted to all soils. The roots are smooth, thick and inter¬
mediate between Scarlet Horn and Long Orange in form.
Early Scarlet Horn. 60 days. Best for forcing and early
outdoor crops; can be grown in shallow soils, and requires no
thinning if sparingly sown, as the roots are used when young
for cooking. About 3 inches long, and of good quality.
Feonia. A novelty from Denmark. A cross between the
well-known Nantes and Chantenay varieties.

Hutchinson. 72 days. A heavy yielder and attractive.
Improved Long Orange. 80 days. Hardly equal to Danvers
in quality, but good and heavy in yield.

Large White Belgian. 100 days. For stock-feeding and
especially suited to shallow soils. Roots white-fleshed, broad
at the shoulder and narrowed abruptly to a point.

Nantes Improved Coreless. 90 days. Excellent for home-
garden use. Flesh reddish orange, crisp, tender, and of very
delicate flavor, practically coreless.

Select Cabbage

Early varieties are grown from seed sown in hotbeds in
February or March, only moderate bottom heat being re¬
quired. Transplant into other frames, without much, if any,
bottom heat, as soon as the plants show the fourth leaf. In
April, or as soon as the ground can be easily worked, set out
in rows 3 feet apart, and about 1 Yi feet between the plants.
The ground should be thoroughly stirred with cultivator and
hoed every week till the plants cover the ground. For a fall
crop, sow in the open ground in May, in hills the proper dis¬
tance apart, using a liberal quantity of manure in the hill,
besides that which is plowed in; thin out to one good plant
in each hill. In the same way, crops may be grown to lay in
for winter use, planting seed as late as July 1. Seeds can also
be sown in shallow drills, and, when the plants are large enough,
can be transplanted, setting the plants in rows 3 feet apart and
2 feet apart in the row. Succeeds best in deep, rich loam.

One ounce of seed will produce 3,000 plants; 4 ounces will sow an acre

All Seasons orVandergaw. 105 days. Noted for its superior
quality and delicacy of flavor. Almost as early as Hender¬
son’s Early Summer, while the heads are larger and quite
thick through; a good variety and a splendid winter keeper.
Copenhagen Market. 95 days. The heads are very solid
with a small core and of fine quality; average weight, about
ten pounds. It matures as early as the Charleston Wakefield,
and will give a much heavier yield than that popular variety;
the plant is short-stemmed. Leaves are light green and very
tightly folded.

Danish Ballhead. 120 days. Heads are thick, round, of
medium size, and as hard as a rock. The stump averages
longer than with our native sorts. For late marketing,
plant about ten days earlier than the common Drumhead on
land liberally manured.

Extra-Early Jersey Wakefield. 85 days. The best early
variety of Cabbage. Heads of medium size, pyramidal,
pointed, firm and solid, with few outside leaves; they are
very uniform in shape, size, and time of maturing, and are
of good quality.

Golden Acre. 90 days. This is a new, early, round-headed
Cabbage which closely resembles Copenhagen Market. As
its name implies, it is a money maker. Eight to ten days
earlier, smaller, and can be planted closer.

Improved American Drumhead Savoy. 110 days. Heads
large, solid, with finely curled, close, wrinkled leaves, of cau¬
liflower flavor. A good-keeping winter Cabbage.

Large Jersey Wakefield or Charleston. 97 days. A selec¬
tion from Early Wakefield, and ten days later, with heads
rounded and twice as large.

Penn State Ballhead. 130 days. A large, somewhat flattened
form of the Ballhead, producing probably the largest ton¬
nage per acre of any variety of Cabbage. Developed by
Pennsylvania State College.

Red Dutch. 100 days. Widely grown for pickling. A good
red Cabbage.

Select Large Late Flat Dutch. 120 days. An excellent keep¬
ing variety; the old standby for main crops. Very large;
of fine quality.

Ulm Savoy. 95 days. Much earlier than other varieties of
this species; medium-sized head; well-curled leaves.
Warren’s Stonemason. A greatly improved type of Stone¬
mason, being earlier, rounder, and more solid.

Pe-Tsai, Chinese Cabbage

Early Snowbg.ll Cauliflower

Chinese Cabbage

Pe-Tsai. 70 days. This delicious Chinese vegetable belongs
to the Cabbage family and closely resembles a well-grown
Cos lettuce, but is heavier. We advise that the seed be sown
about August 1 (not earlier). Either start in frames and
transplant, or simply sow where the plants are to remain in
rows, 2)/2 feet apart, thinning to 1 foot apart in the row. The
light green, crumpled-leaved heads are very tender and of a
delicious flavor.

Cauliflower

Sow the seeds for early and late Cauliflower crops as directed
for cabbage, but do not set the early plants in the field too
soon, for if too much stunted by severe frosts, they begin to
form heads before they are strong enough to develop them
well. Plants which have not headed before winter sets in may
be stored in a cool cellar or coldframe, and will form heads
there without any further attention. A deep, loamy soil, with
a substratum of moisture during dry weather is most suitable
for the Cauliflower. Market-gardeners find this one of their
most profitable crops, and amateurs who undertake its culture
find it easy; but it is a crop in which carelessness or neglect
will interfere with the best results.

One ounce of seed will produce 3,000 plants; 4 ounces will sow an acre

Danish Giant or Dry-Weather. 105 days. Finest Danish-
grown seed. Very reliable header. A feature of it, the leaves
curling over the head, does away with tying to blanch, and
gives it the name of Self-protecting Cauliflower. Excellent
for market or family use.

Early Snowball. 95 days. This early and popular variety is
largely grown everywhere, both for forcing and early crops
outside. The plants are dwarf and sure heading; of fine,
delicate flavor.

No. 291 Snowball. 95 days. This new strain of Snowball is
the earliest on the market. Excellent for the market-
gardener.

Super-Snowball. 100 days. An improved strain of Snowball
with large, uniform heads.

Cardoon

Thistle-like vegetable valued for its thick leaf-stalks and
midribs which must be blanched by hilling them with earth,
like celery. Sow in open ground ; rich soil required.

Celeriac

Celeriac or Turnip-Rooted Celery

The seed should be sown in early spring, in light, rich soil;
the seedlings transplanted in May, and watered freely in dry
weather. They will be ready for cooking in October and may
be preserved for use during winter in dry sand.

Prague Giant. 120 days. The roots of this variety are very
large and smooth, with no side roots, and sell better in market
than those of almost any other sort offered. When young,
they are quite tender and marrow-like, having a very fine
flavor and cooking quickly.

Celery

Celery can be grown in any soil, but is finest on deep, mellow
bottom land. Seed for early crops should be sown in hotbeds
about March 15; if sown too early, the plants are apt to run
to seed after being transplanted. The plants may either be
thinned to give them room to grow, or transplanted to another
bed. For the main crop, seed should be sown in the open air as
soon as the soil and air are warm enough. They should be
covered very lightly, or merely pressed into the earth with
a board, if the soil is fine and mellow. The seed-bed must be
kept free from weeds and well watered in dry weather.

One ounce of seed will produce 8,000 plants; 2 ounces will sow an acre

Boston Market. The dwarf, branching variety grown so
extensively about Boston. It is unequaled by any other
sort, being solid, crisp, and of excellent flavor. Its compact,
dwarf habit allows closer planting and requires less earthing
up than taller sorts. Especially desirable as a market variety
but also good for the home-garden.

Easy Blanching. 115 days. This will mature just after the
Golden Self-blanching has been harvested. The general
color is pale green, with a slight yellowish tinge, which gives
it a blanched appearance. The inner stalk, at a very early
stage of growth, blanches to a rich golden yellow, so that the
usual banking work is eliminated.

Giant Pascal. 140 days. The stalks are remarkably broad
and thick, and about 2 feet high, yet blanch quickly with
but slight banking. Their rich, nutty flavor is entirely free
from any bitter taste, and they are tender, crisp, and string¬
less. A valuable sort for both early and late use.

Paris Golden Self-blanching. 110 days. Has stalks of
beautiful golden yellow, equal in quality to those of any
variety grown. Plants semi-dwarf and vigorous, with large,
ribbed and rounded stalks, which are quite crisp and tender.
Distinguished, when quite small, by the distinct yellowish
green of its leaves. One of the best and handsomest of
Celeries in our collection.

Wonderful or Golden Plume Celery. 115 days. A new
early Celery of great merit. Large, robust stalks, easily
blanched, blight-proof, and of that crispness and nutty
flavor so much desired. We consider this and our strain of
Originator’s Golden Self-blanching, the two finest Golden
Celeries in cultivation.

Chicory

The seed should be sown as early as possible in spring, in
good, mellow soil; make the drills at least half an inch deep.
One ounce of seed will produce 4,000 plants; 4 pounds will sow an acre
Large-rooted Magdeburg or Coffee. Roots mature in 4 to
5 months. The roots form the Chicory of commerce. The
leaves, when blanched, make an excellent salad.

Witloof or French Endive. 80 days. Esteemed as a salad
plant. Spring-grown seeds produce parsnip-like roots by
November. Cut the leaves off 1 ^ inches from neck, trench
1}^ inches apart, cover with soil 8 inches over crown; then
place a 2- to 3-foot layer of fresh manure which induces new
growth of blanched leaves folded like cos lettuce, which are
eaten raw as salad.

Chives

Salad or vegetable chiefly used for its mild, onion-like flavor.
It is a long-lived perennial often planted in herb gardens and
sometimes used as an edging around flower-beds.

Stowell’s Evergreen Corn

Golden Sunshine Sweet Corn

Corn, Sweet or Sugar

One-fourth pound of seed will sow 100 hills; 15 pounds, an acre
It is our opinion, after several years of testing side by side,
that eastern-grown Sweet Corn is far superior to western in
sweetness, and also retains this necessary quality for a much
longer time. This is also the opinion of many of our local
market-gardeners. Our entire stock for this season we guarantee
to be New England-grown. This delicious vegetable may be
enjoyed from early summer until frost if proper varieties are
selected and planted for succession every two weeks from May
until the middle of July. If the seed is planted too early, before
the ground becomes warm, it is liable to decay. Plant in hills
3 to 4 feet apart each way, five or six kernels to a hill; or in
rows 4 to 5 feet apart, scattering the seed thinly in the rows.
The taller-growing the variety, the richer should be the soil
and the wider the space allowed for development.

mealy taste of most yellow Corns.

Squantum Sweet. Best for table use. Our stock is pure,
being grown by us from selected ears.

Stowell’s Evergreen. 95 days. Ears large, with deep, tender,
sugary grains and remain fit for use longer after maturity

Cucumber

Corn Salad

All the Best Sorts for Salads and Pickling

For general crop, the seed cannot be planted in the open
ground before the weather has become warm and settled and
the ground mellow and light. Plant the seed in well-enriched
hills, about 4 feet apart each way, and as soon as all danger
from insects is over, thin the plants to leave four of the strong¬
est in each hill. For succession, sow at intervals of every two
weeks until midsummer. Extra-early crops may be grown
by planting the seed in hotbeds in April, upon pieces of sod
turned upside down, and removing these to hills in the open
ground as soon as the weather is warm enough. For pickles,
sow the seed from the middle of June until the middle of July.
The vines bear longer if the fruits are gathered as soon as they
are large enough; their strength is soon exhausted by ripening
fruit.

One ounce of seed will sow 50 hills; 1 to 3 pounds, an acre

Boston Pickling. 50 days. Very popular for pickles; fruit
smooth and symmetrical, but slightly pointed at the ends;
bright green.

dantly; short, dark green, firm, crisp, and tender.

Everbearing. The vines produce fruit until frost; early and
productive. Fruits are small, well shaped, and of good
quality for pickling.

Fordhook White Spine. Early, productive, and suitable
either for forcing or outdoor crops. Fruit of medium size,

Black Beauty Eggplant

Curled Endive

Full Heart Batavian Endive

Cress

The leaves form spicy spring salads, and are also used for
garnishing. Sow thickly in shallow drills in early spring, and
at intervals for continual supply, as it soon runs to seed.

Extra-Curled or Pepper-Grass. 40 days. Of pleasant,
pungent flavor; leaves can be cut several times; grows well
in almost any soil.

Water Cress. 50 days. Tender, crisp, and spicy when young.
Plant of prostrate habit. A perennial aquatic, which grows

Sow in rich soil, in rows about a foot apart; cover them only
J^inch deep and firm the soil down. Thin to 10 inches apart
in the rows, that the roots may grow large and solid. The
planting-time in this section of the country is about August 1.

Improved American Thick-leaved. 50 days.

Italian ( Ciccoria catalogna ).

Eggplant

Sow the seed in hotbed early in March, transplant to small
pots, and plunge them in the same beds; this is to make them
strong and stocky. They should not be planted out in rows
until May or June, when the weather becomes warm and
settled, as cool nights and wet weather will check their growth.
Set the plants in rows 3 feet apart each way, and give them a
thorough cultivation, drawing the earth up to the stems when
they are about a foot high; it is well to keep some plants in
the hotbed for replanting. Repeated sowings are sometimes
necessary, as the seed does not germinate freely without
strong and uniform heat.

One ounce of seed will produce 2,000 plants; 4 ounces an acre
Black Beauty. 110 to 125 days. The leading market variety,
strong and productive in habit. The fruits are deep purple,
large and smooth, entirely free from thorns, and the flesh
is white, tender, and delicately flavored. The plant is robust
and a good yielder on all rich soils.

Improved Long Purple. 124 days. An early, hardy, and
prolific variety with fruits of excellent quality, 6 to 10 inches
in length and 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Rich dark purple.
New York Large Improved Purple. 130 days. Large, deep
purple, egg-shaped fruits of fine quality. Very prolific. A
favorite both for the market-garden and for family use.

Endive (The Winter Salad)

This is an important fall and winter salad. For early crop,
the seed should be sown in April, in drills 15 inches apart, and
the seedlings thinned to stand a foot apart in the rows. Sow¬
ings for the main crop can be made in June and July, as the
vegetable is used principally in fall and winter.

Sow jounce of seed to 100 feet of drill; 4\ 2 pounds an acre
Full Heart Batavian. 45 days. The broad, thick leaves
make excellent salads when blanched. The plant is very
hardy, and yields heavier crops than other sorts.

Green Curled. 40 days. The one most generally cultivated.
Dark green curled leaves, and, when blanched, very crisp
and tender; ready for use earlier than the other sorts.

family which do not form heads. Some of them have very
tender leaves of delicate flavor, and all are quite hardy, being
improved rather than injured by frost. Sow the seed in beds
in April or May and transplant and cultivate the seedlings
like cabbage. They grow in almost any soil.

One ounce will produce 3,000 plants or 200 feet of drill; l/2pound, an acre

Kohlrabi

If the weather is favorable, the seed should be sown in
April, in rows 1 )/£ feet apart, and the seedlings thinned to
stand a foot apart for large varieties, and 6 to 8 inches apart
for other sorts; they are somewhat difficult to transplant. The
stems swell into large bulbs just above the ground, and these
are fit for use when 3 to 4 inches in diameter. For late crops,
sow in June or July.

Sow jounce to 100 feet of drill ; 2 pounds per acre
Early White Vienna. 60 days. The best and earliest market
sort. The plants grow rapidly, have small foliage, and ma¬
ture their fine, round, white bulbs quite early; flesh fine¬
grained, white, tender, and good; tips quite short.

Early Purple Vienna. 60 days. This variety differs from
the above mainly in the color of its roots, which are bluish
purple; in quality they are superior to those of many other
sorts.

White Vienna Kohlrabi

Leek

The Leek is generally considered superior to the onion in
flavor, and is much used for seasoning soups and boiling with
meats. The plants are easily cultivated and very hardy,
enduring the severest winter weather without protection. The
seed should be sown in hotbeds in early spring, and the seed¬
lings transplanted later to the open ground, 8 inches apart, in
rows from 12 to 15 inches apart. For a winter supply of this,
sow seed in the open ground in early spring and thin the
seedlings until they have room for development, or transplant
them as above; the former method gives larger stalks some
time earlier than when the roots are transplanted. They
should be stored like celery for winter.

Sow \iounce to 100 feet of drill; 4 pounds per acre
Giant Carentan. 90 days. The variety most extensively
cultivated. The stalks are large and the leaves grow from
their sides, as in the flag.

Giant Carentan Leek

Lettuce

Lettuce is a plant of most simple culture when grown in the
open air. It requires rich soil, plenty of well-rotted manure,
and abundant moisture. With these conditions, its growth is
vigorous and rapid; and to be crisp and tender it should be
grown quickly. Of all the salad plants. Lettuce easily takes
the lead, and no garden is worthy the name without its Lettuce-
beds. It has few, if any, insect enemies and flourishes through¬
out the spring and summer months. Drought and hot weather
are its worst enemies, as during such periods it inclines
to run up to seed. Seed may be sown in a frame in
February or March, not much bottom heat being re¬
quired. The plants may be set out as early as the
ground can be worked, as light frosts will not injure’
them. Set in rows about 1 Yi feet apart, leaving 8 to
10 inches of space between the plants. For successive
crops, sow every two weeks up to July.

Sow jounce to 100 feet of drill; 3 pounds per acre
Big Boston. 50 days. Similar to the Boston Market,
with heads twice as large and a week later in
maturing. The solid, large heads make them of
great value for general crop.

Black-seeded Tennisball. 55 days. This variety is the

leaves slightly lighter green and free from a brown tint;
heart buttery yellow; excellent quality.

White Paris Cos. 55 days. A sort with long, narrow, upright
leaves; does not head, but when tied up blanches very nicely;
bears close planting. A splendid sort for summer use.

. Mustard

White London. 60 days. A variety with small, smooth, dark
green leaves, which are greatly relished as salads, or when
cooked like spinach. The seed should be sown in shallow
drills as early as the ground can be prepared in spring.

Pure-Spore Culture Mushroom Spawn

The growing of Mushrooms is rapidly increasing, and the
demand for them has reached immense proportions. A fine
crop of Mushrooms can be secured with very little labor or
expense, provided a suitable location can be obtained. Cellars,
greenhouses, and sheds can be used for their culture. We are
now offering our customers Spawn that is made in quart milk
jars under absolutely sterile conditions. The bottle and
materials are sterilized under steam pressure of twelve pounds,
so that every mould, weed seed or insect is destroyed, and
each bottle contains nothing but the pure Spawn. Every
particle is full run, covered with Spawn grown direct from
the spores. One carton of the Spawn equals five bricks of
ordinary Spawn and is sufficient to spawn about 40 square feet.
The sterile Spawn is dried thoroughly and each piece wrapped
in tissue paper, which contains full instructions, not only as to
how the Spawn should be used, but full particulars about
growing Mushrooms. Anyone can order Spawn and with it
get the necessary knowledge to make growing successful.

Miller’s Cream Muskmelon

Your attention is invited to
the Farm Seed Department,
pages 44 to 48. The grains and
grasses there listed are adapted
to New England, and should
yield abundantly, even when
grown under the most severe
conditions.

Bender’s Surprise Muskmelon

<

Cole’s Early Watermelon

Muskmelons

Muskmelon seed should not be planted outdoors until aH
danger of frost is over and the ground has become warm and
dry. The hills should be about 6 feet apart and carefully pre¬
pared. Rich earth is far better for the young plants than ma¬
nure, but if the latter must be used, see that it is well rotted.
Plant from six to twelve seeds in a hill, and when the young
seedlings are strong enough to resist the attacks of insects,
thin them, leaving three of the strongest in each hill. The
vines should have clean cultivation until they cover the
ground, and if they grow too rank, the tips of the shoots should
be pinched off, causing them to set more and larger fruits.

One ounce of seed will sow 100 hills; 1 to 3 pounds, an acre

Bender’s Surprise. 90 days. Large, oval-shaped, coarsely
netted fruit. Flesh of a deep orange color and very thick.
A good keeper and shipper.

Emerald Gem. 70 days. Early, with small, smooth-ribbed,
dark green fruits; flesh thick and salmon-colored, granular,
sweet and rich; very delicious and satisfying to the taste;
the vines bear heavily.

Honey Dew. 85 days. The Honey Dew averages 9 inches
long and 7 inches wide. Greenish white until dead ripe,
then pale yellow; of excellent flavor. Our season is hardly
long enough to mature it unless started under glass.

Lake Champlain. 68 days. An early-maturing variety hav¬
ing few seeds and a very small seed cavity. Considered by
market-gardeners as one of the most desirable kinds for
critical markets. Nicely netted, medium-sized fruit with
flesh of a beautiful golden yellow.

Miller’s Cream or Osage. 75 days. Fine, attractive fruits
which sell quickly in market, and therefore a favorite among
the truckers. The fruits are large and round, with light green,
netted skin; thick, sweet, salmon-colored flesh.

Sugar Rock. 80 days. Most prolific. Oval, heavily ribbed
fruits of medium size. Firm and very sweet.

Watermelons

An effort should be made to secure good, strong vines early
in the season, and this can be done by taking care that the
hills are large, mellow, and well-drained, with the manure
placed so that they will not dry out quickly under hot suns.
All possible protection from insects should be given the young
plants, and their growth may be hastened still farther by
frequent applications of liquid manure. Plant the seeds thickly
and thin the plants to four of the strongest in each hill.

Sow 4 ounces to 100 hills; 1 V2 to 4 pounds, an acre

Cole’s Early. 75 days. A fine early Watermelon; can be
grown over a large latitude; flesh bright red; fruit nearly
round; rind thin.

Cuban Queen. Round; large; flesh bright red, very crisp,
delicate, and sweet. An early and reliable sort.

Watermelons, continued

Halbert Honey. 85 days. Long, blunt-ended, very large
fruits with thin, dark green rind. Very prolific.

Ice Cream. 80 days. An early-season, delicious home-market
melon. It has too thin a rind for shipping. Few, if any,
melons surpass this for quality and productiveness. Flesh
bright scarlet, solid to center, melting and delicious.

King and Queen. This is the finest melon for market-garden
use in this section. Fruits round; flesh scarlet.

Kleckley Sweets. 85 days. This sweetest of all melons has
now become exceedingly popular. Luscious flavor; fine-
grained, tender meat; large.

Mountain Sweet. Form rather long; color dark green; seeds
dark; very solid, sweet, and crisp. A safe variety for
northern growing.

Red-seeded Citron. 90 days. Round; marbled with light
green; the flesh is white and solid; seeds red.

Sweetheart. 90 days. Large and nearly globular; skin bright,
mottled green; flesh bright red, firm and heavy, crisp, melt¬
ing, and exceedingly sweet. A good shipper and keeper.

Onion Seed

Good Onion Seed is the Foundation for a Good Crop

A good crop is impossible unless the soil is very rich and
kept, clean. Use well-rotted manure freely, and get the crop
in as soon as possible in the spring, no matter if the weather
is cold and unpleasant. Sow in drills 1 foot apart and cover
about one-third of an inch, treading or rolling after sowing, so
that the hot, dry atmosphere may not dry up and destroy the
sprouting seed. When 3 inches high, thin to 2 inches apart.
Stir the ground freely without disturbing the young plants
and keep free from weeds.

Sow bounce of seed to 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 pounds, an acre
Japanese Long White Bunching. This Onion should be
planted in August in drills 14 inches apart. Late in the fall
a small quantity of soil should be thrown against each side
of the row for winter protection. Can be dug early in spring
for rareripes. Requires light and well-drained soils.

Red Wethersfield. 110 days. One of the most productive
and long-keeping. Bulbs deep purplish red, large, flat,
strong-flavored, and grow to a large size the first year from
seed.

Southport Red Globe. 130 days. This is a favorite with all
who grow Red Onions. It grows to fair size, with very small
neck, and bright red in color. We offer a fine stock.

Southport White Globe. 110 days. A large, showy, globular
white Onion, which sells quickly in market. The bulbs grow
quite rapidly and, if the seed is sown early, good-sized roots,
suitable for pulling and marketing in a green state, are soon
formed. They are mild-flavored, keep well, and the yield
is good.

Spanish King or Prizetaker. 100 days. Bulbs very large,
round, and handsome; rich yellow skin; mild, sweet, pure
white flesh; quite free from stiff necks. Bottom well and
yield enormously. A very desirable sort.

White Portugal or Silverskin. 95 days. Largely grown for
white Onion sets. Bulbs large, fine in appearance, with
silvery white skin and sweet, tender white flesh. They do
not keep well, but are mild-flavored and excellent for family
use and for pickling.

Yellow Globe Danvers. 110 days. Buxton type, selected,
home-grown stock. Early; globe-shaped, with very small
neck; large; good keeper. The best for general crop.

Okra

Champion Hollow Crown Parsnips

Okra

The tender, young pods are used for seasoning soups and
stews. Sow the seed thickly in rich soil, about the middle of
May, in drills 3 feet apart, and cover the seeds an inch deep.
Thin the young plants to stand 10 inches apart, hoe them
often and earth up the stems a little in cultivation, for support.
One ounce of seed will plant 100 hills

Improved Dwarf. 50 days. Grows about 14 inches high;
produces twice as many pods as taller sorts. Pods smooth,
tender, well-flavored.

White Velvet. 55 days. Pods pure white, round and smooth,
with no square edges or disagreeable prickles; also larger
than in most sorts.

Parsley

The leaves of most sorts of Parsley are beautifully curled,
and useful for garnishing as well as flavoring.

Sow l/4ounce to 100 feet of drill; 3 pounds, an acre

Champion Moss Curled. 70 days. Leaves bright green,
finely cut, and beautifully curled.

Plain Leaf. 60 days. Leaves are longer and darker green
than the curled varieties; very hardy.

Turnip-rooted. 90 days. Forms thick, fleshy, edible roots
used extensively as flavoring.

Parsnips

Aside from its value as a table vegetable, the Parsnip also
furnishes a healthful and nourishing food for stock, and is
especially valued for this purpose by dairymen. Sow the seed
in drills 15 inches apart, as early as possible in spring, and thin
the plants until they are 5 to 6 inches apart in the rows. The
roots are improved by frost, and only enough for winter use
need be taken up in the fall, leaving the rest in the ground until
spring, to be dug up as required. By running a plow, such as
is used for breaking sod, along one side of the rows, field crops
of Parsnips will be thrown out so that they can be harvested
easily. Deep, rich, heavy soil is best suited, but on any deep,
rich, mellow soil the yield is good per acre, and the roots will
be smooth and large if no fresh manure is used.

Sow y4ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill; 4 pounds, an acre

Champion Hollow Crown. 110 days. The variety most
widely grown; tender, sweet; very productive.

Garden Peas

All smooth-seeded Peas may be planted as early in spring as
the soil can be prepared for them. They are very hardy and
will endure a low temperature, both before and after sprouting.
By sowing for the first crop as early as is practicable, and for
succession at intervals of about two weeks until the first of
June, a good supply of this delicious vegetable may be enjoyed
through the greater part of the summer. Late sowings, how¬
ever, do not yield so well as early ones, because the hot and
dry weather is unfavorable to the development of the plants.
The seeds should be sown in drills about 3 inches deep and
from 3 to 4 feet apart, according to the variety, taller sorts
requiring more room than the dwarf ones. Dwarf Peas require
a very rich soil, while tall ones thrive best in rather thin
ground which does not stimulate too luxuriant growth in the
vines, to the detriment of the pods. The latter are frequently
sown in double rows, with brush or support of some kind
between them. Wrinkled Peas are not so hardy as the smooth
sorts, and should not be sown so early, but are superior to them.

One pound of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; 120 pounds, an acre

Extra-Early Peas

Medium and Dwarf Sorts

Alaska. 60 days. One of the earliest in cultivation; about
75 per cent of the pods can be gathered at the first picking.
Vines are very thrifty, growing about 2 feet high; pods
small, but well filled with plump, excellent dark green Peas.
Smooth seeded.

Gradus. 65 days. This is undoubtedly the greatest advance
ever achieved in Peas, for it is as early as the first-earlies,
with pods as large as the Duke of Albany and the same
shape and color, each pod containing nine or ten wrinkled
Peas of the typical fine marrow flavor, cooking very tender.
Altogether, Gradus is the most distinct and largest-podded
early Pea ever raised.

Hundredfold. 65 days. This is, without doubt, the very best
dwarf Pea ever grown. We have found none so near per¬
fection as Hundredfold. It is the best-flavored and the
largest-podded dwarf-growing sort in existence, ready about
three days after the earliest, and bears an enormous crop of
handsome, intensely dark green, fairly broad and pointed
pods, 4 inches long, containing about eight large, dark green
Peas of excellent quality. The vines are 16 inches high,
sturdy, and resist heat well.

Laxtonian. 62 days. One of the best dwarf, wrinkled Peas
for the market-gardener. Pods about 4 inches long, re¬
sembling those of Gradus, but a little earlier. Vines pro¬
ductive and vigorous; average height under 1^ feet.

Laxton’s Progress. 62 days. An improved Laxtonian type
Pea. Larger dark green pods, very sweet; heavy bearer.

Little Marvel. 62 days. This is a Pea of extra value. It
grows about 15 inches high with pods very dark green, well
filled with five to seven Peas of excellent flavor; very pro¬
ductive; quite early. We recommend it for either the family
garden or for market.

Nott’s Excelsior. 62 days. Robust and vigorous in growth;
throws out laterals from the base of the stock, producing in
profusion long, handsome pods, closely packed with large
Peas of fine flavor; more vigorous and prolific, with larger
pods and more Peas than either American Wonder or
Premium Gem. Seed green and wrinkled. 1 foot.

Sutton’s Excelsior. 65 days. This is today probably the
most popular dwarf wrinkled sort in America. In this
variety we have an early dwarf wrinkled Pea in the front
rank for earliness, with much larger and handsomer pods
than any dwarf early wrinkled Pea yet introduced. The Peas
are very tender and of superlative flavor. Height 15 inches.

The W. E. B. Co.’s Maud S. A favorite with the market-
gardeners on account of its earliness, extreme productive¬
ness, vigor, and vitality, often resisting a drought and ma¬
turing a crop when ordinary sorts of earlies have failed.

settled, setting them about 2 feet apart in drills 3 feet apart.
Seed may be sown later, in the open ground when all danger
from frost is over, and thinned to the distance given above.

One ounce of seed will produce 1,500 plants; x/2pound, an acre
California Wonder. 125 days. Nearly as large as, but
earlier than Chinese Giant; shape blocky and square ended.
It may be set upright and is ideal to stuff and bake, or to
serve whole for salad. Heavier and firmer than other sorts,
walls exceptionally thick; flavor sweet and spicy with no
bite to it.

Chinese Giant. 140 days. Very large; uniform; early; very
mild.

Harris Early Giant. 110 days. A very early, large-fruited
Pepper. The skin is scarlet-red and the moderately thick
flesh is sweet and crisp.

Pumpkins

The Pumpkin is now little used except for agricultural pur¬
poses, the squashes being so much sweeter and drier and finer
grained for the kitchen. The farmer, however, finds the Pump¬
kin a serviceable addition to his feed. The most common
method of cultivation is to plant them with corn, two or three
seeds to each hill.

Sow % pound to 100 hills; 3 to 4 pounds, an acre

Connecticut Field. 70 days. Very productive; largely grown
for feeding stock.

Mammoth. 85 days. Immense size, often weighing over 100
pounds.

Sugar. 65 days. Round, not large, but very sweet, and an
excellent table variety.

Winter Luxury. 90 days. Fine pie Pumpkin, round, color
russet-yellow; flesh thick; fine flavor.

Radish

Sow in the open ground as soon as it can be worked, at
intervals of ten days for a succession as long as wanted. Sow
in hotbed or greenhouse in winter. The winter varieties should
be sown in August and lifted before severe frost. As their
tender and mild qualities depend on rapid growth, the soil
should be rich, light and mellow.

Sow %ounce to 100 feet of drill; 10 to 12 pounds, an acre

Cooper’s Sparkler. 25 days. Quite distinct; fulfils every
requirement; the color is a rich carmine-scarlet, with a very
pronounced tip of the purest white. The roots, even when
fully developed, are solid, crisp, sweet, and remain fit for
use as long as the coarser kinds. It is equally well adapted
for forcing in frames or growing in the open ground, for
while the leaves are small, they are sufficiently large for
bunching.

French Breakfast. 25 days. Olive-shaped; red above and
white below; medium size; small top and of quick growth;
crisp, sweet, and tender.

Icicle. 30 days. A handsome first-class early variety, in color
snowy white. It grows to the average length of the long
varieties, but holds its fullness well down to the tap-root.
Exceedingly attractive and excellent in every way.

Long Brightest Scarlet. 30 days. Vivid scarlet, tipped with
snow-white; rapid grower; quality fine.

Long Black Spanish. 65 days. Roots black; flesh white and
slightly pungent. One of the hardiest and latest.

Round Black Spanish. 60 days. A popular round winter
variety with black skin and mild sweet flesh. A good keeper.

Vick’s Early Scarlet Globe. 20 days. For forcing in the
greenhouse, hotbed, or cold frame, and for sowing in open
borders early in the spring, there is no other red variety so
desirable. It is the earliest, its color is the handsomest, in
flavor it is the mildest, most crisp, juicy, and tender. It
forms a small top, and will stand a great amount of heat.
It is the market-gardeners’ favorite forcing Radish. It will
sell “three to one’’ compared with any round red sort.

White Giant Stuttgart. 50 days. Very early; grows to a
large size; fine quality; firm and brittle.

Rhubarb

Mostly propagated by division of the roots. Set out the
plants early in spring, although it is sometimes done in autumn.
Make furrows of good depth, 3 to 4 feet apart, according to
variety planted; across these furrows, at right angles, make
others the same distance apart; at each intersection put three
or four shovelfuls of good manure, and upon this set the plants.

Victoria. 150 days. In general use for the market; immense
crops.

Salsify

When cooked, the roots have something of the flavor and
odor of oysters. They may be boiled, used in soups, or grated
and fried as fritters. Culture same as for parsnips and carrots.
Roots are perfectly hardy, and may be left in the ground all
winter, but should be dug early in spring, as the quality
deteriorates rapidly with the second growth. A quantity of
roots for winter use may be stored in a pit or in sand or damp
earth in a cellar.

Sow %ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill; 8 pounds, an acre

Mammoth Sandwich Island. 140 days. A great improve¬
ment on the French sort generally cultivated. The roots
are twice as large, smooth, tender, and well-flavored, re¬
sembling fair-sized parsnips.

Rhubarb

Reselected Bloomsdale Savoy
Spinach

Spinach

One of the most important crops grown for greens, and
may be had in good condition from very early in spring until
cold weather. For early use, sow very early in spring,
and for succession at intervals. The main crop, for spring and
winter use, should be sown in September and the plants
covered for winter.

Sow jounce of seed to 100 feet of drill; 10 pounds, an acre

Giant Nobel. 45 days. A new giant, thick-leaved type with
long-standing qualities. An extremely heavy yielder.

Thick-leaved. 60 days. A large, upright-growing,
early variety with very thick, large, slightly crumpled leaves
of medium green color. Fine for fall and spring sowing. A
rapid grower.

King of Denmark. 45 days. A new variety which stands a
long while without running to seed; large yielder and of
excellent quality.

Long-standing Bloomsdale. 43 days. A little later than
Reselected Bloomsdale, but holds two weeks longer before
throwing seed-stalks. Our stock of seed is the best obtainable.

New Zealand. 65 days. Substitute for Spinach during hot
weather.

Old Dominion. An improved strain of Blight-resistant Savoy.
Reselected Bloomsdale Savoy. 45 days. Hardy; well
adapted for winter crops. Leaves large and wrinkled, like a
Savoy cabbage.

Virginia Blight-resistant. 40 days. A valuable variety to
use for fall sowing on account of its resistance to blight.

White Bush Scalloped Squash

Giant Summer Straightneck Squash

Squashes

Squash seed should be planted at about the same time and
in the same manner as cucumbers and melons. The hills
should be 9 feet apart each way, slightly elevated, and highly
manured. Bush varieties may be planted closer together. Use
plenty of seed, as the bugs will destroy some plants.

Summer varieties, sow 4 ounces to 100 hills ; 4 pounds, an acre
Winter varieties, 8 ounces to 100 hills; 2 pounds, an acre

Blue Hubbard. 90 days. Hard shell; thick, dry meat of fine
quality; favorite winter sort for Boston market.

garden or roadside market. Fruit weighs about 7 pounds.
Bright orange; flesh medium grained, sweet, and dry.
Golden Hubbard. 100 to 105 days. This is a very distinct
sort of the shape and general character of the Hubbard, but
a little smaller, earlier to mature, and of a rich orange-red
color, instead of the dark olive-green of the old Hubbard.
Golden Summer Crookneck. 55 days. Early and produc¬
tive; fruits yellow, covered with water excrescences, as in all
this race; flesh fine-grained and rich. Of fine quality.

Marglobe Tomato

John Baer Tomato

Chalk’s Early Jewel Tomatoes

Tomatoes

For early use, sow in February or March in hotbed or in
boxes and pots set in the warm window, and hasten the germi¬
nation and growth of the plants by good care and frequent
watering. When the seedlings are about 3 inches high, trans¬
plant them to pots or in rows 4 to 5 inches apart, keeping the
temperature at about 60 degrees. Subsequent transplantings
will make them branching and stocky, but do not set them
in the open ground until all danger from frost is past, then
plant them in a warm, sunny place, and water them freely
until they are well established. Some support which will
keep the fruit above the ground and free from dirt should
be given the plants.

One ounce of seed will produce 2,000 to 3,000 plants

Acme. 105 days. This has, for years, been considered a
standard variety. Fruit pink, large, smooth, solid, never
cracking, and holding its size well. A good long-distance
shipper.

Chalk’s Early Jewel. 95 days. An early variety of brightest
scarlet color, deep-fruited, very solid, with few seeds, and of
excellent flavor.

Dwarf Champion. Plants compact, stocky and upright, re¬
quiring no support. The pink fruit is always smooth and
handsome, ripening close to the core and never cracking.
Dwarf Stone. 95 days. This splendid new variety is put out
by Livingston. Valuable as a general-crop Tomato.
Earliana. 90 days. This is considered the earliest red Tomato
grown. Fair size; good shape; good quality.

Early June Pink. 90 days. Similar in habit to Earliana and
about the best of the early purplish pink sorts. Fruits hang
in clusters of six to eight.

Heterosis. This new, early variety has medium-sized, round,
smooth fruits of a dark scarlet color, as high as twenty in a
cluster. The plants are best cultivated with a single shoot.
Supply limited.

John Baer. 95 days. Only a few days later than Earliana,
it yields a much heavier crop of larger, more uniform, and
more attractive fruit.

Marglobe. 118 days. Marglobe is a remarkable pure scarlet,
globe-shaped variety of extra-large size and early maturity.
It is resistant to nail-head rust and fusarium wilt. Attrac¬
tive, solid, and tasty.

Ponderosa. 110 days. The favorite large-fruited variety.
Vines are of strong growth. When planted in rich soil, and
pruned to single stem, the fruit often reaches one pound
in weight.

Pritchard or Scarlet Topper. 112 days. A new midseason
variety. Fruits large, smooth, and round. Fine for market.
Strawberry (Winter or Ground Cherry). 85 days. The small
fruits, enclosed in a husk, have a flavor like strawberries,
and may be preserved like plums. The vines are always
heavily loaded with fine fruits.

Tomatoes, continued

Stirling Castle. An excellent sort for forcing under glass, as
well as for outdoor culture. Fruit bright, glossy red, smooth,
of fine flavor, and very early.

The Stone. 120 days. Very large, perfectly smooth fruits are
bright scarlet, solid, meaty, with few seeds. Ship and keep
well.

W. E. B. Co.’s Special Bonny Best. 112 days. This is the
finest strain of seed that can be procured. Medium early;
fruits large, globe-shaped, bright scarlet. As a market
variety it cannot be surpassed.

Yellow Plum. 100 days. Fruits are yellow, oval, and very
smooth. Used for preserves.

Turnips

For early crop, sow as soon as the ground can be prepared,
in drills 15 inches apart, and thin the plants to stand 6 inches
apart. Sow, for succession, at intervals of two weeks until the
last week in July, and from that time onward until the last of
August, sow for main crop. The sowings should always be
made just before a rain, if possible, as the success of the crop
depends in a great measure upon quick germination and rapid
growth in the young plants.

Early Red-topped Globe Turnip

One ounce of seed will sow 250 feet of drill; 1 to 3 pounds, an acre

Budlong White Rock. Obtained by years of selection and
grows much smoother than White Rock.

Early Red-topped Globe. 60 days. A large, handsome,
globe-shaped Turnip; excellent for the table and extensively
grown and pitted for fall and winter use. Remarkable for
its heavy yield per acre.

Early White Egg. 49 days. Pure white; egg-shaped; grows
rapidly and is fine-grained, sweet, delicate-flavored, and
solid.

Farm Seeds

ALL OF OUR GRASS AND FIELD SEEDS ARE TESTED TO CONFORM WITH
THE PROVISIONS OF THE STATE SEED LAWS

Owing to crop conditions, prices of Grains, Grass, and Clover Seeds, etc., are variable. We
assure our customers they will have the full benefit of the lowest market rates for choice,
selected stocks.

Swedish Select Oats

Swedish Select Oats

This Oats has made for itself a reputation as an exceedingly
heavy and reliable yielder. It is very hardy and prolific and
yields beautiful white kernels which are especially desirable for
the manufacture of rolled Oats. The straw is valuable for feed
and for bedding. The sprangle-top heads, although long, are
borne low down on the stalk, which seems to prevent lodging,
and are very large in proportion to its stiff, bright, clean straw.
As a rule, Oats yield a greater profit per acre than wheat, and
they are also a more reliable crop. Market price.

Treat Oats with Ceresan before sowing. See page 51

Eureka Ensilage Corn

Thousands of farmers and dairymen who have used the
Eureka Corn are still of the opinion that it has all the qualities
that go to make it an ideal fodder and ensilage variety. It grows
quite tall (some 12 to 15 feet), makes a thick growth of fodder,
and is very prolific in ears which get to the proper condition for
ensilage by the first to the middle of September. Our supply
for this season is very choice stock, the genuine Eureka pro¬
duced for us in Virginia by a reliable grower. Market price.

Narragansett Sweepstakes
Ensilage Com

Improved Learning Corn

A superior strain of Yellow Dent Corn, not only valuable for
fodder and ensilage, but will produce a big crop of matured
Corn almost anywhere in New England, often 100 bushels of
shelled Corn per acre. Market price.

Narragansett Sweepstakes Ensilage

Corn

This is a hybrid Corn, produced through the breeding of
twelve varieties from various sections of the country. By
careful breeding the sugar content of Narragansett Sweep-
stakes Ensilage Corn has been greatly increased. It will produce
from five to ten tons more ensilage per acre, with a better food-
value than other known varieties on the market. The yield is
from seventeen to twenty-nine tons per acre. Due to the
methods employed in breeding, Narragansett Sweepstakes
Ensilage Corn has a very high vitamin content. Put up in
2-bushel sacks. Crop very short. Market price.

Sweet Com for Fodder

We are usually able to offer a good stock of this variety at
a reasonable price.

Cover Crops

it is always wise to sow a cover crop on any land that is
bare, in the fall as early as September. These crops are to be
turned under in the spring and add much fertility to the soil,
putting it in much better condition than if no cover crop
were raised.

FieLd Peas

“Peas could be made to bring more nitrogen to the soils of
this country every year than is now purchased annually by the
farmers at the cost of millions of dollars.” — Yearbook of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.

Grain has been grown year after year on many farms, sap¬
ping the life and fertility of the soil. Here is a crop which is
not only profitable but will return to the land the much-needed
nitrogen. Peas are second only to clover in their soil-enriching
properties, and can be grown under almost any condition of
soil or climate. The vines make rich, nutritious hay, and if fed
green to milch cows, the flow of milk will be almost doubled.
They can be sown alone or with oats and fed green. It is sur¬
prising the amount of fodder which is produced in this way.
Market price. Inoculate this seed with Stimugerm.

Dwarf Essex Rape

Makes Splendid Fall, Winter, and Spring Pasturage

This is a most important forage plant and is often used by
the fruit-grower as a cover crop, or it is excellent for renewing
humus in worn-out soils. It grows like a rutabaga, with a very
leafy top but no swollen root.

Rape for fall use should be sown in July, August, or Sep¬
tember. It makes a large-yielding, nutritious, succulent green
feed or pasturage all through the fall and early spring. Rape
can be successfully sown both in the fall and spring. Early fall
seeding, however, gives the best results. It is best sown in
drills at the rate of 3 to 5 pounds per acre, or it can be sown
broadcast, when from 6 to 8 pounds per acre should be used.

Sand, Hairy, or Winter Vetch

Hairy or Winter Vetches are increasing in popularity where-
ever they are grown and are proving to be one of the most
valuable crops for fall planting. They not only make a large
yield of the most nutritious hay, but they improve the condi¬
tion and productiveness of land for crops to follow, as much as
any crop that can be sown, not even excepting crimson clover
and cowpeas. The forage is greatly relished by horses and all
kinds of cattle, is very nutritious, and makes fine, milk-
producing food. On some soils, Vetches seem to require soil
inoculation, to give the best results, but on the great majority
of our soils they will yield splendid crops without any inocu¬
lation whatever. Where Vetches do not do so well the first
year, it is advisable to reseed them upon the same land, when
the resulting crop will be a great surprise in its yield and
growth. Inoculate this seed with Stimugerm

Sow 20 pounds of Vetch and 1 bushel of rye or oats to the acre

COWPEAS, New Era. This variety is of real value, both in
the southern and in the northern states, as a green summer
feed for sheep and as a green crop for plowing under to en¬
rich the soil. Sow for plowing under at the rate of 2 bushels
to the acre, or with oats at the rate of 1 34 bushels of each
per acre. Inoculate this seed with Stimugerm

BEAN, Soja ( Soja hispida ). Resembles a bean. The haulm is
stiff and the pods are produced in clusters of from two to five,
each containing four smooth, oval, nankeen-colored seeds.
This plant is said to thrive well in hot and dry weather.

Inoculate this seed with Stimugerm

BUCKWHEAT, Japanese. Earliest and most productive
of the Buckwheats.

RYE, Spring. Best northern-grown. Sow 134 bushels to
the acre.

Winter. Sow in September and October. Sow 1 34 bushels
to the acre.

WHEAT, Winter. Extra-choice stock.

Spring. Northern-grown.

BARLEY, Chevalier. A two-rowed variety that is more
largely used for forage than the six-rowed. Seed grown on
the irrigated lands of Montana; very plump, extra-heavy
and nearly white. Very good quality.

The importance to the farmer of a good selection and proper
mixture of grass seeds for the various purposes of cultivation,
for mowing, for soiling, for permanent pasture, etc., cannot be
over-estimated. We prepare a special mixture containing only
the most suitable grasses for permanent pastures and meadow
lands, such as Orchard Grass, Meadow Foxtail, Sheep’s Fescue,
Rhode Island Bent, Meadow Fescue, English Rye Grass,
Perennial Sweet Vernal, Red-Top, and Clovers. Two to four
bushels of this mixture are needed to seed an acre, according
to the condition of the land.

Astoria (R. I.) Colonial Bent. A fine, hardy, very compact
grass; very permanent, readily forming a heavy sward. Sow
2 to 3 pounds per 1,000 square feet.

Certified Prince Edward Island Bent ( Agrostis tenuis). A
pure, hardy strain of Rhode Island Bent grown on Prince
Edward Island, Canada. Forms an ideal turf of dark green
color and uniform in texture. Uniformity of texture is the
principal requisite of a good putting-green without which the
ball will not roll true. Sow 3 to 5 pounds to 1,000 square feet
for a green and 2 to 3 pounds for lawn purposes.

Chewing’s Fescue. Perennial; 2 to 2 34 feet high; June and
July. On account of its creeping habit is especially valuable
for loose, sandy soils and embankments. It easily resists
drought and often is green when other grasses are dried up.
Sow 234 bushels an acre. (14 pounds to bushel.)

Crested Dog’s Tail ( Cynosurus cristatus). A perennial grass
much valued for its dwarf habit and hardiness. Fine for
lawns. Sow 2 to 3 bushels an acre. (28 pounds to bushel.)
Domestic Rye Grass. Smaller seeded and finer leaved than
the type. The smaller plants it produces are claimed to be
more resistant to cold and superior for turf on fairways
where grass is needed quickly.

Hard Fescue ( Festuca duriuscula). Perennial; 1 J4 to 2 feet
high; June. The most vigorous of the dwarf-growing grasses.
Thrives well in dry soils; comes early and withstands long
droughts. Good hay or permanent pasture. Sow 2 34 bushels
an acre. (14 pounds to bushel.)

Kentucky Blue ( Poa pratensis). Known as June-Grass. An
early grass of great value; makes a close, velvety turf, and is
excellent for pasture; generally sown mixed with other
grasses. Sow about 3 bushels an acre, if used alone (finest
seed 14 pounds to bushel).

Orchard Grass ( Dactylis glomerata). It is very satisfactory
for the meadow when sown with other grasses, the hay being
very nutritious, but it should be cut when in blossom. It is
not suitable to sow alone, because of its tufted habit. Es¬
pecially adapted for shady places, particularly in orchards,
wood-lot pastures, and usually sown in the spring, but
under favorable conditions may be sown in the fall. Sow
30 to 40 pounds of seed an acre.

Red-Top ( Agrostis vulgaris). A great favorite, succeeding in a
great variety of locations, giving very good results on light
soils, and the very best on heavy, moist soils or lowlands
liable to overflow, which are so apt to be sour and acid. It
does not thrive on sandy or Ieachy soil. The first year it
grows somewhat slowly, spreading by creeping root-stocks.
Height, 1 to 234 feet. Maturing at about the same time as
Timothy, it is used considerably with it and Red Clover to
make a heavier yield. Cut when in bloom in July. It is also
a splendid grass for lawns, and is very commonly included
in mixtures. The usual rate of seeding is 14 to 16 pounds of
fancy recleaned seed an acre, but if in the chaff, double
the quantity.

PRICES ON GRASS SEEDS. — Owing to frequent changes, we
cannot make a fixed price, but assure you we shall sell as low as
the lowest for high-grade seeds.

Grasses, continued

Seaside Coos County Bent. A very useful grass for fine
lawns and pleasure-grounds, on account of its short growth,
deep green and fine-leaved foliage. Indispensable for golf-
course, croquet, and cricket fields as well as general lawn
formulas. Sow 3 to 5 pounds per 1,000 square feet.

Sudan Grass. A new forage plant closely related to the culti¬
vated sorghums; of value in the dry Middle West as a
drought-resisting hay crop. In the East and North should
be tried as a substitute for millet, as the crop is larger and
has better feeding value. Care should be exercised in turn¬
ing cattle onto second growth. In rows, 4 to 6 pounds to
the acre; broadcast, 20 pounds to the acre.

Timothy or Herd Grass ( Phleum pratense). A well-known
nutritious grass, which on most soils will produce a better
crop than any other variety. We offer a particularly choice
quality of seed. Sow ^bushel an acre, if alone (45 pounds
to the bushel).

Wood Meadow ( Poa nemoralis ). Well adapted for growing
under trees and in shaded situations. Dwarf and fine-grow¬
ing. Sow about 2 bushels an acre. (14 pounds to bushel.)

Sudan Grass

Millet or Hungarian Grass Seed

Prices variable; subject to market fluctuation

Hungarian Grass ( Panicum germanicum) . One of our best
forage plants and yields immensely, even when the weather
is so dry that other crops dry up. One of the best annual
grasses for green fodder or hay. Sow from June 15 to July 31.
One bushel seeds an acre. (48 pounds to bushel.)

Millet, Japanese Barnyard ( Panicum Crus-galli ). This
Millet is valuable as a green or dry fodder, or for soiling. It
is erect in growth, very leafy, and the stalks are tender and
succulent, even when matured. Produces from 15 to 20 tons
green fodder per acre. As fodder crop sow 20 pounds to acre.

Millet, Tennessee Golden. Of strongest and taller growth
than other Millets and does not mature so early. Sow 1 to
bushels an acre. (50 pounds to bushel.)

Clovers

Clovers are a Necessity on Every Farm

Clovers enrich the soil, for their roots gather immense quan¬
tities of nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which take nitrogen from the
air and leave it in the soil in a form readily available for grow¬
ing crops. Nitrogen is the most expen¬
sive chemical to buy in fertilizer. Why
not make use of this cheap source and
encourage their growth by the use of

Alsike. Hardy, productive, fragrant; succeeds best on stiff,
cold soils.

Canadian Variegated Alfalfa. Grows and looks much like
Grimm. In hardiness, intermediate between Grimm and
Northwestern Common.

Common Alfalfa. Requires well-drained land and an abun¬
dant application of lime previous to sowing. August is the
best time to sow. Use 20 to 25 pounds to the acre.

Crimson. An annual used for soiling and for plowing under
to enrich the soil.

Grimm Alfalfa. Only a few strains of Alfalfa equal, and none
excel true Grimm Alfalfa in hardiness. It is the safest type
to sow wherever there is trouble from winter-killing.

Medium Red. The well-known Red Clover.

White. Used in nearly all mixtures for lawns and valuable
for pastures.

White Blossom Biennial Sweet Clover. Of great value as a
soil renovator. It will thrive on all classes of soil. Sow any
time from April until the middle of September at the rate
of 15 to 25 pounds to the acre.

Red Clover

which is an indication of good quality; eyes are strong, well
developed, and but slightly indented.

Norcross. Hardy; enormous yielder; resists blight. Excep¬
tionally fine variety.

Snow. Medium late, white Potato of a roundish shape.
Suitable for all soils; heavy yielder.

Spaulding Rose. ( Certified stock.) A vigorous grower; great
yielder; resembles the Early Rose in shape and color. It is
fast finding its place as one of the standard late varieties.
We recommend it to all who want a good quality winter
Potato.

SEMESAN BEL

Before planting your Potatoes, give your seed a Semesan
Bel treatment, thereby greatly increasing the yield. It will
also reduce scab. We will be pleased to mail you descrip¬
tive pamphlet. See page 51.

SEED INOCULATION

The Best Inoculation
for All

Legume Seeds

Means Better Crops
Better Soils,

Less Expense

Japanese Millet. (See page 47.)

Seeds of all legumes — Clovers, Alfalfa, Sweet Clovers, Beans,
Peas, Vetches, Soy Beans, Cowpeas, etc. — will yield far better
results if inoculated with Stimugerm, and, in addition, leave
in the soil a heavy deposit of nitrogen which benefits all
succeeding crops in the rotation. Stimugerm — always fresh —
always strong and virile.

A Sensible Insurance and a Profitable

Investment

We believe in inoculation, we favor the pure jelly medium,
and we believe in Stimugerm. We recommend that all legume
seeds purchased from us be inoculated before planting.

HOW TO ORDER: Specify crop and number of bushels
you wish to inoculate (one-bushel size contains sufficient
bacteria to thoroughly inoculate one bushel of designated
variety of legume seed).

DARLING’S ANIMAL FERTILIZER. Our

Animal Brand is a complete fertilizer for all
crops, having a strong analysis of plant-food.
Complete and well balanced, the above
Fertilizer may be depended on to raise any
crop on which it is used.

POTATO AND ROOT-CROP MANURE.

This Manure is well established with potato-
growers, and for all root crops is considered
one of the best-balanced fertilizers ever sold.

FARM FAVORITE. The highest-grade low-
priced fertilizer on the market, and for all
crops above ground will give good results.

DARLING’S PURE FINE BONE. Contains
frQin 20 to 25 per cent of pure phosphoric acid,
and 3 to 4 per cent ammonia. Best material
from which phosphoric acid can be obtained.

DARLING’S LAWN DRESSING. Stable
manure is objectionable, as it is bulky, con¬
taining a large amount of refuse material. It
also contains the seeds of many weeds and
obnoxioils grasses. By the use of this fertilizer,
all these objections are removed. Will pro¬
duce an excellent growth of rich green grass.

ACID PHOSPHATE. Guaranteed 16 per cent
available phosphoric acid. Acid Phosphate is
recommended for all grain and grass crops
cowpeas, soy or soja beans, and for .applying
to lands deficient in phosphoric acid. Bene¬
ficial results follow the addition of Acid Phos¬
phate to stable and barnyard manure, all
manure being deficient in phosphoric acid but
high in ammonia, the mixture giving a better
balanced plant-food.

SOILTEX. Tells what your soil needs. A new,
quick, accurate soil-testing method that de¬
termines exactly in a few minutes whether your
soil is acid and how much lime it needs.
Pocket-size soil-testing outfit, with color
chart and lime table, $1.

P. M. PEAT
MOSS. As a

material to
improve the
mechanical
condition of
the soil, G. P.

M. Peat Moss
has no equal.

It helps to
bind together
loose and
sandy soils
and to break up and render more friable heavy
and clayey soils. As a mulch, it meets every
requirement. As a propagating material it has
no equal, and is of great value in storing bulbs
and as a forcing medium. Bales (about 19 bus.)
$3.50; Trial Bales (about 14 lbs.) $1.50.

The Porter 3-Power Shears

These tools are tremendously powerful and
are ruggedly built for life-time use. They are
easily sharpened by the use of a half-round,
second-cut file of the proper size. The edges are
protected when the handles are closed, and in
use the tool is much less apt to be dulled than an
axe. All parts are carefully heat-treated. We
believe these are the finest two-hand cutting
tools ever made.

The Perfection Sprinkler

This Sprinkler was developed to overcome the
dangers of over-watering golf-greens, fairways,
parks, etc. Also the opposite danger of spotty
irrigation — drying in some spots and wetting in
others. High pressure is not required, and the
Sprinkler will operate perfectly at any pressure
from 10 to 60 pounds. The sprinkling area that
can be covered is circular — 40 to 100 feet diam¬
eter, according to the pressure. Send for full
descriptive circular. No. 1, $11.50.

March Automatic Rainmaker

Sprinkles rectangles, not circles. Covers large
areas rapidly without overlapping, and is quickly
adjusted to water small spaces. Sprinkles along
edge of walks or drives without wetting them.
Ordinary water-pressure from lawn hose turns
the pipe-line of nozzles as an axis, throwing the
streams of water from one side over to the other
with a constant, steady swing. Thousands in use on
city lawns, large estates, golf courses, cemeteries,
and parks. Made in four sizes — watering from
1,200 to 3,000 square feet at a setting. Write for
prices and literature.

Armstrong Original Fountain

Sprinkles a full
circle with mist-
like spray. No
moving parts. Sim¬
ple and efficient.
75 cts.

The Rip Sprinklers

The Rip (Spike Type), with only three parts
(one moving part), is the last word in perfected
Sprinklers. Gives an even spread of water in
natural, rain-like spray. Does not waste water
through leakage. It may be choked with sand
but it will clean itself out. $1.

HOTKAPS

protect plants against
birds, insects, rain,
frost, hail, or wind.
They force growth and
bring maturity 2 to 3
weeks sooner. Yield is
increased 10 to 25 per
cent. Each Hotkap is
a miniature hothouse
for the plant underneath.

Prices: 1,000 for $9.75; package of 250
with Setter and Tamper, $3.50; package of
100 with Setter and Tamper, $2.25; Steel
Setter, $2.50. Garden Setter, 50 cts. Postage
extra.

Gator Hide Mulch Paper

Unrolled over the proposed plant-beds, and
anchored by soil or other available material
along the edges. Gator Hide Mulch Paper im¬
prisons all the moisture in the soil. It catches
and retains the sun’s heat. This raises the soil’s
temperature, prevents cooling at night, and pro¬
motes continuous bacterial activity, liberating
night and day nitrous food matter for the plant,
producing bigger, better, and earlier crops.

Planting is done through holes made in the
paper, or in the space between two strips of
paper rolled out close together. Ample space is
provided for plants, but none is left for weeds;
nourishment which the latter usually steal from
soil is saved for crops.

Type A — for Annuals — primarily in field culture:
18 in. wide, 300 linear yards to the roll, $2; 36 in. wide,
300 linear yards to the roll, $4.

Type B — for Perennials — -in field culture and all

Townsend’s Kutail Lawn Mower

Gets the weeds while mowing the grass. This
wonderful new invention cuts all the weeds,
wild onions, plantains, dandelions, buckthorn,
etc., in the path of the Mower. No more back¬
aches from pulling weeds out of your lawn — no
need of a sickle. The hook-like rake between the

and either breaks it or the knife immediately
following cuts it off.

Coldwell Power Lawn Mowers

The Cub Power Lawn Mower

THE CUB is a light, substantially built power
Mower with a 21-inch detachable front cutting
unit and a full-width drive roller. The drive
roller is divided and driven through a differ¬
ential so that sharp turns can be made without
cutting the lawn. It is possible to cut close
to trees or walls so that a finished job can be
done without the use of a hand Mower.

THE TWIN L has a cutting width of 25 inches
and will cut from 4 to 6 acres a day on large
areas of lawn. The motor is a Coldwell,
4-cycle, water-cooled Bosch magneto and
Tillotson carburetor. Height of cut, % to
2 inches. Fuel-consumption, 1 gallon gasoline
for 10 hours’ running. The gasoline tank holds
sufficient fuel for full day’s cutting.

Gang Units can be furnished for the Twin L
increasing the cut to 60 inches.

THE TWIN 30 has a capacity of from 6 to 8
acres per day. The motor is the same as used
in the Twin L and the Mower has a cutting
width of 30 inches.

A magnificent Mower, with 42-inch wheel and
7-inch reel. It is the only Mower on the market
«, with 12-inch wheel. The large wheel adds to the
•power and ease of operation. The large reel
enables it to cut through grass so high that it
would choke most other Mowers. It possesses
these two great advantages without the dis¬
advantage of extra weight, the strength not
having been sacrificed.

Townsend’s “Flyer” Ball-bearing
Lawn Mower

A good, free-cutting, easy-running Mower,
with open wheel and frame, made on the two-
gear principle. Gears well up from the ground
and fully shielded so as to exclude dirt and cut
grass. Has 9-inch wheels, 4-bIaded reel, the
finest bottom knife and the famous Townsend
finish.

The “Capitol” Lawn Edger

This machine should
be in the hands of every
man who has a lawn to
cut and trim. It does
work no other machine
can do and finishes the
work undone by a lawn
mower. It trims and
edges lawns with re¬
markable speed and ac¬
curacy, and the little
plow forms a drain in
gravel walks, driveways,
and around flower- or
shrub-beds. Made in
one size only.

cate setting for 4-pound or 2-pound applica¬
tions per 100 square feet. Shut-off is hand-
controlled and the wheels are of the disc

eastern states. It is built to withstand the
strains and wear of our hill farms. Furrow
capacity, 7 by 14 inches.

Eddy No. 6 One-Horse
Plow

Chilled wearing parts and straight Iandside.
The high curve of the cast beam gives ample

longer beam and handles and has a steel Iand¬
side with chilled iron shoe. The capacity is
the same as No. 452.

McCormick-Deering Hillside

These Plows are equipped with steel molds
and chilled shares. The beam is of two flat
bars trussed together to form a beam that is
both light and very strong. Molds are of good
length and of correct design. No. 208, One-
Horse, has a capacity of 5 by 10 inches; No.
210, Two-Horse, 7 by 14 inches.

Plows and Harrows

McCormick-Deering Two-Way
Sulky Plow

This 2-wheel Plow can be turned very short,
and it is well suited to small and irregular¬
shaped fields. It is a horse-lift, the raising of
the bottom being accomplished by a dog and
rachet arrangement on the wheel-hub. The
levers are equipped with auxiliary hand¬
grips which enable the plowman to operate the
levers when walking behind the Plow.
Regular equipment: Quick, detachable Shares,
13-in. Rolling Colters.

McCormick-Deering Tractor
Plows

Sturdiness and dependability are combined
with light weight, light draft, and low price
in these Plows. Parts subject to strain are
heat-treated and weight placed only where
necessary. Plenty of clearance between bot¬
toms and under beams, enabling the Plows to
do good work on trashy ground. Can also be
supplied in Single-Bottom, 18-in., for corn-
borer control.

Acme Pulverizing Harrow

Not a special tool, but, as its name implies,
a general-purpose Harrow. It will crush, cut,
lift, turn, smooth, and level all in one opera¬
tion. Nothing but the colters can possibly
wear, and they can be replaced at a low cost.

McCormick-Deering Spike-Tooth
Harrows

The closed-end Harrow has outside cross¬
bars at the end of the tooth-bars, which serve
as guards to prevent the ends of the tooth-bars
from damaging trees when working in or¬
chards. The teeth are by J^-inch and are
diamond-shaped. Draw-bars are furnished,
except on the single section. Can be supplied
in 1- and 4-section sizes with 25, 30, or 35
teeth to the section.

McCormick-Deering Spring-Tooth
Harrows

The McCormick - Deering Spring - Tooth
Harrows can be supplied in either the channel
or round pipe-bar. The spring-teeth are se¬
curely attached to the bars and will not work
loose. Penetration of the teeth is regulated by
the levers. There is one lever to each section.

McCormick-Deering Disc Harrows

The discs used on all McCormick-Deering
Harrows, both horse-drawn and tractor, are
subjected to a special heat-treating process
which hardens, tempers, and toughens to
exactly the right degree the fine saw steel
from which they are made. You can hurl one
of these discs against a concrete floor without
hurting its edge. You can bend it clear out
of shape in a vise and it will spring back into
shape. You can lay it on the floor and hit it
with a sledge. You will have to hit it mighty
hard to dent it. Discs that will stand such
treatment will stand abuse in the field.

Deering Harrows sent on request.

Harrows, Culti-Packer and Spreader

Clarkes Cutaway Utility One-Horse

Harrow

The Utility Harrow, as its name implies,
has a wide variety of uses and is ideal for the
farmer who wants a one-horse Harrow that
will give thorough tillage. Being spaced only
5 inches apart, the 10 discs thoroughly chop
and pulverize the soil. The discs are Clark
Cutaway quality.

Clark’s Tractor Bush and
Bog Plow and Harrow

This is a special heavy-duty implement for
subduing new land, for plowing bogs, old
pastures, or for any plowing or harrowing job
too difficult for ordinary implements. It is
also used extensively for orchard tillage.
Discs are 24 inches in diameter. This service¬
able machine is made in four sizes; use with
tractor or horses.

Reversible gangs will be furnished with or
without weight-box. Screw-control is regular
equipment, but lever will "be furnished if it is
preferred.

Repair Service

It is our endeavor to carry at all times a
full line of replacement parts for machines
we sell, thus trying to avoid vexatious delays
to our customers in supplying parts needed.

Clark’s Single- and Double- Action
Cutaway Harrow

The discs are cutlery steel, forged sharp.
Bearings are hardwood, soaked in oil, which
wear smoother, give less friction, and outlast
metal, making them cheaper to replace when
it is necessary to do so. The draft is light,
due to the elimination of the truss construc¬
tion of the forward discs, making it possible
to hitch the team closer than on any other
Harrow.

International Culti-Packer

This is one of the best built machines that
ever helped the farmer to get a bumper crop.
The frame is made of heavy angle steel bars,
bolted fast. Two channel steel bars run
diagonally from the tongue across the frame.
It takes the place of the old roller. This is not
only a clod crusher, but a pulverizer, packer,
and cultivator. This machine is practically
indestructible and will last a lifetime. Length
54 inches. Weight 560 pounds.

John Deere Spreader

A Revolution in the Art of Spreader Building

Beater on axle makes it easy to assemble;
easy to load — 36 inches high; easy to operate
— only two levers.

Ball-bearing eccentric and positive ratchet
feed insure easy and uniform operation of
steel-link apron under all conditions.

All-steel, 10-bar beater mounted on roller
bearings — practically indestructible — easy
running.

Beater driving gears simple and durable,
like triple gear horsepower — run in oil.

Cold rolled steel axle, mounted in self¬
aligning bearings, stays put, and runs easy.

No exposed wearing parts — no chains — no
clutches — no adjustments.

Farm Implements

McCormick'Deering Spreader

Making money from increased crop-produc¬
tion is the result of proper application of
manure to the soil. This can be done with a
McCormick-Deering Spreader. The McCcr-
mick-Deering has quality, it is efficient,
dependable, and will last for years. The low
box makes loading easy, and requires only two
horses to pull its capacity load.

McCormick-Deering End Gate
Lime Sower

This Sower will stand up under hard usage
and will serve efficiently under almost all
spreading conditions. The essential features
are simplicity, durability, wide sowing-range,
and a non-clog feed. It is quality built
throughout.

Nonpareil Lime and Fertilizer
Sower

Nonpareil Sowers will distribute success¬
fully every known kind of agricultural lime
and commercial fertilizer used on the farm,
provided it will pass through the screen into
the hopper of the sower. Commercial fertilizer
is perhaps the hardest material to sow success¬
fully, and unless it is absolutely dry it is im¬
possible to sow in a satisfactory way less than
600 pounds to the acre.

Wet or damp material is very hard to sow
with any degree of success and we do not
recommend Nonpareil Sowers for this work.
But they are guaranteed to work successfully
when material is in fit condition to be put
through a sower.

McCormick'Deering Fertilizer
Distributors

Two sizes: 7- and 9-foot

These Sowers will distribute evenly all
kinds of commercial fertilizers in quantities
of approximately 10 to 2,350 pounds. A de¬
sirable feature is that the distributing parts of
the machine can be taken completely apart,
cleaned, and reassembled in from five to ten
minutes’ time. The bottoms are lead-coated,
to resist the corrosive action of the fertilizer.
They can also be used as broadcast seeders
for the common varieties of grain, such as
wheat, oats, barley, etc.

McCormick'Deering Potato
Planter

This Planter can be furnished with or with¬
out fertilizer attachment. The seed-hopper
holds about three bushels and the Planter will
handle cut seed and whole small potatoes with
a high degree of accuracy. Improved picker-
arms catch the seed, a piece at a time, and
convey it to the discharge-boot, which con¬
veys it to the furrow.

King of the Cornfield Planter

Plants corn, beans, and peas, and distrib¬
utes fertilizer accurately. Has proved itself
adapted to every requirement. Durable and

McCormick-Deering No. 102
Corn Planter

McCormick-Deering No. 102 Planter covers
every possible requirement for planting corn
and is recommended where the utmost accu¬
racy is required. Since the kernels vary
more in length and breadth than they do in
thickness, the edge-drop plate, or, as it is
sometimes called, the edge-selecting plate,
naturally gives the greatest degree of accu¬
racy. For ungraded corn, the flat-drop plates
will probably give greater accuracy. The
point is, however, that you can have edge-,
flat-, or full-hill-drop plates for your Mc¬
Cormick-Deering Planter. You can have
full runner, stub runner or disc furrow-
openers.

McCormick-Deering Riding
Cultivator

This Cultivator, with 6 shovels, spring
trip, is adapted to all row-crops. The axles
are pivoted, and each gang has a double steel
beam connected by broad couplings to a
movable steel bar which is suspended from a
steel I beam riding on two long rollers. Gangs
are shifted by the feet.

McCormick-Deering One-Horse
Cultivator

These are built in three sizes with 5, 7, and
9 shovels. Each can be equipped with lever
expander, lead wheel with wing hillers, and
horse-hoe. The strength of the frame is
sufficient to withstand the severest use to
which it would be subjected under average
working conditions.

McCormick-Deering 14'Tooth
Cultivator

The sharp teeth do an excellent job of
mulching the soil and killing the weeds. They
are clamped to the side-bar with two bolts
and have three adjustments for changing the
cutting angle. Furnished with lead wheel
and lever expander.

All steel except the handles, the beam
being made of two sturdy angle-steel bars.
Its teeth can be set in a straight line across
the row or in V shape, to move the dirt
toward the center of the row, or reverse to
move the dirt toward the crop-row. Can also
be set in a diagonal line either way to throw
the dirt in one direction, as on hillsides.

Farm Implements

No. 9 Planet Jr.
Horse Hoe

Popular because of its strength, lightness,
easy change of width, and perfection of work.
Will stand incredible strain; you can cultivate
to any reasonable depth and adjust for any
useful width.

Planet Jr. No. 8 Horse Hoe

Similar to the No. 9 except that it has a
depth-regulator and lever wheel, handle
adjustment up or down for height, and an
important side adjustment.

Planet Jr. No. 7 Horse Hoe

Same as the No. 8 without the depth-
regulator. It works the same as No. 8 in
every way except that it lacks the steadiness
and easy control of depth made possible by
the depth-regulator.

Planet Jr. No. 83 7 -Tooth Plain
Cultivator

The 7 teeth are 2 3 T inches wide and their
work is finer and more thorough than the
3-inch teeth used with the above Cultivators.
Finishes all rows up to 42 inches apart and
will work the middle courses in one passage.
Can be run deep or shallow.

The Farmall Cultivator

The Farmall 2-Row Cultivator will culti¬
vate 25 or more acres a day, depending on the
condition of the crop, and up to 60 acres with
a 4-row outfit. This applies to corn, beets,
beans, potatoes, and other row-crops com¬
monly grown on a large-scale basis. The
ability of the Tractor to turn in a circle of
8-foot radius eliminates wasteful turning
areas at the ends of rows, and also makes it
possible to cultivate all rows consecutively.

Planet Jr. 12-Tooth Harrow and
Cultivator

With the 12-tooth Harrow you go as deep
or shallow as you like, come close to the row
without injuring the plants, cut out the weeds,
stir the soil, and mellow and fine it as with a
garden rake. A special favorite with market-
gardeners, strawberry-growers, and truckers.

McCormick-Deering Potato Digger

The fact that in the few years since the
McCormick-Deering Diggers were placed on
the market they have jumped into the front
rank of the machines of their class, is proof
of the correct design, strength, and light
draft of these Diggers. They get all the
potatoes under most difficult conditions. The
agitation is correct and is controlled according
to conditions by interchange of agitating
sprockets.

McCormick-Deering Mowers

No. 7 Enclosed Gear

The entire driving mechanism of this new
Mower, including the drive gears, ratchets,
and countershafts, runs in a deep bath of oil,
thus, insuring thorough lubrication. This
arrangement of gears, grouped as they are in
one common gear-case, is greatly superior to
the older type of Mower with its open gears
and ratchets in the wheel-hub. The gear-
case holds a full gallon of oil, with a tight-
fitting cover to exclude all dirt and prevent
oil-leakage. Ask for special circular on this
Mower.

When you select an Engine, you want one
that will save you money in doing your work
and give you years of satisfactory service.
McCormick-Deering Engines are doing this
all over the country for their owners. They
will lighten your tasks and save you many
days of weary, hard work. They are built in
134 3, 6, and 10 H. P. sizes.

The Farmall Mower cuts a 7-foot swath
and is built with the same high standard of
construction as other McCormick-Deering
Mowers. It is power driven by the Farmall
engine through transmission by means of the
power take-off. The cutter-bar is made of
high carbon steel tempered in oil. Cut gears
are used and are enclosed and run in a bath
of oil. It can be attached in a few moments’
time because the method of attaching is
simple, one bolt only being used. Running
at the usual cutting speed, from 25 to 30
acres can be cut in a day.

McCormick-Deering Hay-Rakes

All McCormick-Deering Hay-Rakes are
made of steel throughout and will stand up
successfully under rough usage. Bushings in
the wheels can be removed and replaced when
worn. The height to which it lifts can be
adjusted for light or heavy hay.

MYERS HAYING TOOLS

Clover Leaf Hay Unloader

Heavily and substantially built of malleable
iron throughout. Fitted with wide-open
mouth to receive the fork pulley when ap¬
proaching in any direction. Also has a swing¬
ing fork pulley which relieves the car from
all strain when drawing hay over a high beam
or into a well-filled mow. Track wheels
revolve on J^-inch turned steel axles. Rope
sheaves have larger hub than any other make
of carrier. The lock consists of three parts
and has no springs. Carrier is adjustable to
any standard make of steel track.

Made either for wood or steel track.
Price, $9.

Myers Hay Forks

Automatic Grapple Fork

The Automatic Grap¬
ple Fork is made with
either 4 tines or 6 and is
unlike any other inasmuch
as it is not only balanced

tion the natural pull on
the trip-rope closes the fork and locks it
securely, thus returning it to the load all
ready to enter the hay without any attention
whatever from the operator as to the setting
of the lock, etc. It is doubly braced through¬
out, making it very rigid and strong. 4-tine,
$9.50; 6-tine, $11.

The Double Harpoon Forks are made in
two lengths of tine, 25 and 31 inches, and are
the same excellent quality as the Automatic
Grapple. 25-in. $2.25; 31-in. $2.50.

Louden Haying Tools

Louden Single Drum Power Hoist

Belt it up with your tractor or any engine
of 4 horse-power or more, and start your
engine. Nothing happens at the hoist until
you pull a lever — the moment you let go it
springs into neutral — you can’t forget to
make it safe. Hard maple conical blocks
form the clutch. Pull the main lever and your
clutch takes hold gradually but surely. Your
load of hay goes up as fast as a team could
take it — the hoist takes the place of an extra
team at haying-time. To return, work the
other lever — it is much quicker and easier
than turning a horse or team around and
wasting your strength pulling the carrier back
by hand. The hoist, besides taking the place
of a team at harvest -time, is mighty handy
for heavy lifting of all kinds. The big brake
holds the load securely at any point desired.

Louden Senior Hay Carrier

The Louden Senior Hay Carrier is a sturdy,
dependable carrier built to safely lift a load
of 1,500 pounds — a good deal more than
would ever stick to even such a greedy fork
as the Louden Balance Grapple shown below.
The rope wheel and pulley are 7 inches in
diameter and roller bearing. This makes the
draft easier and gives longer wear to the rope.
The Louden Senior Carrier is reversible so
that it can be used in center-drive or end-
hoist barns.

Louden Balance Grapple Fork

Unless you have actually used a Louden
Grapple Fork, it will be hard to convince you
of how easy it is to set, what enormous loads
of all kinds of hay or straw it takes up, how
clean it takes the hay off the rack, how little
it spills. No special care is required in loading
the hay — the Balance Grapple Fork clinches
its wide-spread steel tines about a big load of
hay and mows it away. The fork comes down
open, a 12-year-old boy can guide it to the
next “bite” as it comes down, then a step on
each end to ram it into the load — a snap of
the latch, and you are all ready for another
pull.

The Yankee Hay Rake

This Rake is an old New England favorite
and is preferred by those who wish a wood-
frame construction with wood wheels. Its
construction is simple and it is adapted to
any and all conditions of surface. Each tooth
is independent and supplied with a spring
that will permit the tooth to pass safely over
any obstruction that the axle may pass. It
has more teeth (which are hung nearer
together) than any other Rake.

McCormick-Deering Ensilage
Cutters

McCormick-Deering Ensilage Cutters have
made a reputation for themselves because of
sturdy construction and proper design. They
are built of high-grade material throughout.
Steel is used where it gives the best service.
Special attention is called to the No. 12
Cutter which is made with a one-piece main
frame and transmission case which encloses
all working parts and permits them to run in
a bath of oil — automobile type of transmis¬
sion. Type F has a capacity of 3 to 6 tons per
hour; Type G, 8 to 10 tons; and No. 12, 12
to 16 tons.

McCormick-Deering Adjustable .
Windrow Hay-Loader

These gearless Hay-Loaders are made . in
one width only, and are also equipped with
an adjustable section so that hay can .be
delivered 3 feet nearer the rack when starting
the load, but the side boards do not fold.
The gearless Hay-Loader picks up hay from
the swath as well as the windrow. One man
can operate it, if necessary, thus doing with¬
out a rake.

McCormick-Deering Side Rake
and Tedder

The McCormick-Deering Side Rake and
Tedder is instantly convertible from a Side
Rake to a Tedder by changing the direction
in which the reel revolves. One lever controls
the direction while another sets the teeth at
the correct angle for raking or tedding. A
McCormick-Deering Side Rake and Tedder
will often make it possible for you to cut hay
and get it into the barn the same day. The
one machine does two important jobs.

International Tedders

On International Hay Tedders the forks
are provided with long coiled-steel springs
which allow them to spring back when an
obstruction is encountered. The springs also
relieve the Tedder of the strain caused by
the rapid movement of the forks. The power is
applied from the center of the main shaft,
distributing the strain equally over the entire
Tedder. Springs between the main and thill
frames absorb shock and vibration. Clutch
and balancing levers are within easy reach of
the driver. Shafts can be converted into pole
for two horses. Made in 6- and 8-fork sizes.

McCormick-Deering Corn Binder

The McCormick-Deering Corn Binder
picks up down and leaning corn and follows
rows easily. Vital parts are easily accessible;
elevator chains gather and hold stalks upright
until bound; makes firm, squarely butted
bundles; and the reliable knotter ties right
every time. It binds tall or short corn. All
parts subject to a great amount of friction are
equipped with roller bearings.

The Centaur Farm Tractor

McCormick-Deering 10-20 and
15-30 Tractors

Unit construction is used throughout in the
design and building of these Tractors. By
unit construction is meant that all parts, such
as the engine, transmission, clutch, etc., are
built as units and assembled in the main
frame. Each unit can be removed without
disturbing the other units.

The Model G 10-5 H. P. Centaur is a light
farm Tractor of wide utility range. The
Centaur plows, harrows, seeds, mows, hauls,
and furnishes belt power. The Model G Cen¬
taur will do all the power work on the farm
having as much as 50 acres under cultivation.

In all kinds of work the Centaur is easy to
operate and does the job quicker, easier, bet¬
ter, and at a less cost than it can be done in
any other way.

McCormick-Deering Farmall
Tractors 10-20 and 15-30

The Farmall is a triple-power Tractor sup¬
plying power on the draw-bar, belt, and power
take-off. This Tractor will do all the work of
the ordinary Tractor, and, in addition, do the
planting, cultivating, and mowing. The steer¬
ing mechanism enables short turns to be
made quickly and at ease. The Tractor can
turn in a circle having an 8-foot radius.

McCormick-Deering F 12 Farmall
Tractor

Gravely Tractor

This is a compact,
single - wheel ma¬
chine of perfect
balance and has 5 2 34" by 10-inch cultivator
steels. It is so small and narrow of tread that
you can cultivate crops planted in 10-inch
rows, yet so powerful that you can work
33^-foot row at one sweep. A midget i
but a giant in power.

a

in size

This new smaller Farmall 12 is a Tractor
with a surprising amount of power for its size.
Because of its low operating cost, it supplies
economical power for any farm.

Emancipator Litter- Carrier

Takes out the equal of five wheelbarrow
loads at a single trip, and takes it out clean,
without spilling or dripping. Dumps the
entire load into the manure-pit or spreader.

It will save you more hard, disagreeable
work than any implement about the place.
The big tub is loaded almost as quickly as a
wheelbarrow carrying only one-fifth as much.

Detachable Water-Bowls

The winter slump in milk-production is, in
a large measure, due to the cows not getting
enough water to drink. Louden Water-Bowls
do away with that disagreeable chore of having
to turn the cows out to water once or twice a
day, no matter how disagreeable the weather.

Louden Steel Stalls and Stanchions

Farmers who have used them say that the
cows will pay for the complete Steel Stalls
and Stanchions in two years out of the extra
production the pasture comfort makes
possible.

Crumb Chain Hanging Wood
Stanchions

This device is made of thoroughly seasoned
hardwood, framed and bolted together in the
most substantial manner. At its opposite ends
chains are attached by which it is suspended
from the top beam of the stall-frame and
secured thereto by a chain of sufficient
length to allow it a free and easy motion in
all directions.

Buckeye Incubators

Buckeye Incubators are the result of over
thirty-five years of study and experiment, and
they include today every possible device for the
promotion of the highest efficiency in incubation.
They will hatch more and better chicks than any
other Incubator in the world. The top and sides
of the four larger Incubators have two walls of
lumber with one thickness of insulation. Ply¬
wood is used exclusively in the cases of the Buck¬
eye Incubators, and will withstand all kinds of
atmospheric changes without the slightest danger
of warping, splitting, or pulling apart. It will not
retain the odors of hatches. The hot-water cir¬
culating tank is of pure copper — it will never
rust or corrode. The automatic regulator is the
most perfect device of its kind ever invented — it
assures the uniform temperature essential to
proper incubation at all times. The lamp sup¬
plied on the four larger sizes bears the label of the
Insurance Underwriter’s Laboratory, and assures
you of getting an Incubator that is fireproof.

The Model No. 65 is a smaller Incubator,
built for beginners and specialty breeders, and of
plywood construction, with walls and top con¬
structed to prevent waste of heat. While this
model does not bear the Underwriter’s Label, it
is provided with a safe, reliable lamp and heating
system. All Buckeye Incubators, except the
No. 65, are equipped with Automatic Egg¬
turning Trays. Capacity

Buckeye CoabBurning Colony
Brooder

The Buckeye Stove has been proved to be one
of the most efficient Coal-burning Brooder
Stoves ever devised. An accurate double-wafer
thermostat assures uniform temperature at all
times, holds an even fire, and prevents it from
going out. No matter how low or how suddenly
the temperature outside drops, the Buckeye has
abundant capacity to care for all the chicks. It
keeps them warm, comfortable, and thriving. It
prevents chilling, crowding, and smothering.
And it not only provides plenty of heat under the
hover, but it also keeps the room warm for many
feet around. Capacity Weight Each

The Newtown Colony Brooder

Don’t be content with ordinary Brooders.
They are the most expensive kind. You can’t
afford them. There is no comparison between
Newtown and other type Brooders. Regardless
of the type of other Brooders, you get more
chick-raising ability and greater satisfaction,
dollar for dollar, in a Newtown Coal-burning
Brooder than in any other kind ever built.
That’s a fact. Comparisons prove it.

The New Gro-Mor Brooder

Battery Brooder advantages at minimum cost.
Now, in the Gro-Mor, at most moderate prices
are combined wire screen floor, full enclosure,
long-life construction, non-glowing element, and
outside feeder and waterer.

Sides are galvanized steel, with deep, stiffen¬
ing folds. The feed and water-openings, with
turned edges, are readily adjusted to retain the
smallest chicks. Both feeder and waterer are
unusually large and readily detached for refilling.

The top is heavy fiber-board. It conserves
heat remarkably well and for that reason is pre¬
ferred. Barring abuse, it will last for years.

The 40-watt, fully enclosed, non-glowing ele¬
ment is of 7^-inch diameter and develops ample
heat in rooms 50° or above.

Floor-area is 24 x 24 inches; headroom, 7
inches. Price competes with cheapest all-paper
Brooders, considering costs per square inch of
floor-area. The element we include is easily
worth $1. $3.75.

The Tycos Incubator Hygrometer is not a
regulator of moisture but is an indicator of con¬
ditions, so that if not correct they may be made
so. Illustration shows the correct position of the
instrument in use, taking the place of one
egg in the egg-tray, thus showing the conditions
surrounding the eggs. The amount of moisture
required during the period of incubation varies
from 65 per cent to 53 per cent. The first week
there should be about 65 per cent of moisture,
the second week about 60 per cent, and the last
week about 53 per cent. The amount of moisture
may be easily regulated by adding or taking
away shallow pans of water, sprinkling the eggs,
and by increasing or decreasing the ventilation.

also smear on about one-fifth
of the rest of the flock. The
birds do not like the taste
of Anti-Pick and learn not to
repeat the habit. 3-oz. jar 25 cts.; 8-oz. jar 50 cts.;

Starter Intermediate Battery

Who could ask for more in a Battery than
these positive factors for superior performance:

Convenient size — 5 sections, no more, no less.

Maximum feed- and water-space — 78 inches of
feeders, plus 26 inches of waterer per floor, or
1 inch for each 11 square inches of floor-area. To
ascertain what these figures mean, make some
comparisons.

Welded wire side assemblies instantly re¬
movable; full swinging front for easy handling of
chicks. Any section can be cleared of chicks as
fast as the operator can handle them. No fool¬
ing; no lost time; least disturbance!

Large feeders, equipped with waste-preventing
grids, are mounted outside as preferred by ex¬
perienced operators, and are adjustable for
height to reduce feed-waste and prevent breast-
blisters.

625-chick capacity, with full electric equip¬
ment, $75

The Elect-O-Stat Brooder

MAKOMB

Those familiar with Electric Brooders will per¬
haps wonder why the heating element is so
large — 36 inches square. A 36-inch square has
more than twice the area of a 24-inch. Despite
the general practice of using small low-cost
elements, Makomb builds this type because it
reduces the temperature variation under the
canopy and uses the current more efficiently.
Tests show as much as 34° variation from edge to
edge in leading competitive Brooders.

The element is a dust-tight, welded assembly,
a one-piece unit. It carries two heating circuits
of 500 watts each, either of which carries on
should the other fail. In the Elect-O-Stat you
now secure the absolute safety of two elements
wired to operate together, but each also ready
to operate alone and each able to produce the
heat needed under ordinary conditions. We
guarantee this element for one year; it is built
to last ten years.

This Brooder can be used as either a 40-inch
or 52-inch size, depending on the number of
chicks. Even though not actually
needed now, a 52-inch, with its 400-
chick capacity, will likely be used
at a later date.

The Elect-O-Stat canopy is so
steep that fowls cannot roost on it.
With reasonable care it will last
a decade. $24.

Glass Cloth

Glass Cloth is a strong fabric treated by a
patented process to make it transparent, wea¬
ther-proof, and water-proof. It costs much less
than glass. Admits abundance of light and
readily transmits the life-giving vitalizing ultra¬
violet rays of the sun. (Glass stops them.)
It is 36 inches wide and comes in rolls of 5, 10,
15, 25, and 50 yards long. 25 cts. per yard.

Even a roofing expert can’t tell by any test
how long roofing will last. The only true test
is on the roof. When a manufacturer has the
faith in his product to stand behind it with a
15-year guarantee, backed by the responsibility
of his three big roofing mills — there’s the kind of
dependable product we are looking for to sell
to our customers. It means the best protection
for your buildings. Lowest market price per
roll, 1-ply, 2-ply, or 3-ply.

Lone Star Roofing

This Roofing will give the most satisfactory
service under any climatic conditions, is weather-
and water-proof, elastic, durable, and fire-
retarding. For temporary structures we recom¬
mend the use of 1-ply; for permanent buildings
we recommend the use of the 2- and 3-ply.
Lowest market price per roll.

NEW HARDY CLIMBING ROSE

Rhode Island’s own Rose. Born and bred at Little Compton, near Newport, it has in it the rock-bound
stamina of the New England Coast. It is the hardiest yellow Climbing Rose adapted to this region, and one of
the most beautiful of any climate. Its rich yellow flowers are borne on rigid stems, ideal for cutting, and its
handsome, holly-like foliage makes it doubly attractive in the garden. Dormant plants, $2 each. Pot-grown
plants (after May 1), $2.25 each.
