WARRANTS 

WARRANTS — We  buy  our  stocks  from  reliable  dealers,  some  of  them  for  more  than 
sixty  years.  We  make  germination  tests  of  each  lot  of  Vegetable  Seeds  that  we  offer,  thus 
reducing  to  a  minimum  the  chances  for  failure.  Our  Flower  Seeds  are  always  of  the  new 
crop  and  thus  of  the  highest  vitality.  But  we  wish  to  make  it  clearly  understood  that  be¬ 
cause  circumstances  may  arise  after  seeds  are  planted,  over  which  we  have  absolutely  no 
control,  we  find  it  necessary  as  is  customary  in  the  Seed  Trade  to  give  no  Warranty,  express 
or  implied,  as  to  description,  quality,  purity,  productiveness,  or  any  other  matter  of  any 
Seeds,  Plants  or  Bulbs  we  send  out,  and  will  not  be  responsible  in  any  way,  for  the  crop. 
If  the  purchaser  does  not  accept  the  goods  on  these  terms,  they  are  to  be  returned  at  once.

In  ordering,  the  numbers  are  sufficient.

AGERATUM.  (Leberbalsam.) 

(Floss  Flower.) 

One  of  the  very  best  bedding  plants,  being 
literally  a  sheet  of  bloom  from  early  summer  till 
frost.  The  various  blue  varieties  are  without 
doubt  the  most  satisfactory  bedding  plants  of 
this  color  for  our  trying  climate.  Easily  raised 
from  seed,  which  is  usually  started  in  a  hotbed 
or  window  and  transferred  to  the  open  ground 
in  May.  Can  also  be  sown  outdoors  in  May.

11  Proeumbens,  or  Carpet  or  Snow.  Of 

dwarf,  compact  habit.  It  begins  to  bloom 
when  quite  small,  and  the  plants  are  a 
solid  mass  of  white  from  spring  to  late 
autumn,  and  undoubtedly  is  the  best 
white  border  plant  in  the  list.  Sweetly

the  richest  gentian-blue.  Blooms  freely 

all  summer.  5  ft . 15 

ANTIRRHINUM.  (Snapdragon.) 

(Loewenmaul.) 

Within  the  last  few  years  Snapdragons  have 
become  immensely  popular.  This  is  not  to  be 
wondered  at,  as,  whether  used  for  cutting  or 
for  show  in  the  garden,  they  are  one  of  the  most 
valuable  flowers  which  can  readily  be  grown 
from  seed.  Sown  out  of  doors  the  first  week 
of  May,  the  plants  bloom  early  in  July,  remain¬

AQUILEGIA.  (Columbine.)  (Akeley.) 

Plants  ready  early  in  May. 

No  hardy  plant  grown  from  seed  is  more  easily 
handled  than  the  Columbine.  Seed  may  be  plant¬ 
ed  in  the  open  ground  early  in  spring,  and  will 
bloom  the  same  season  ;  or  they  may  be  planted 
in  August  or  September,  and  will  come  up  early 
in  spring  to  make  vigorous  plants,  which  will 
bloom  abundantly  during  late  spring  and  early 
summer. 

Columbines  should  be  planted  wherever  their 
presence  will  serve  to  lighten  up  a  too  stiff  and 
formal  planting,  for  BO  other  plant  is  more  gen 
erous  of  its  blooms,  or  is  more  effectively  adapted 
for  cut  flowers.  1  %  ft.

imported  by  us  from  England  and  does 
exceedingly  well  here . 

34  Glandulosa  Major.  This  type  is  without 
spurs  and  produces  very  large  single 
flowers,  black-violet  with  white  corolla. 

A  rare  flower  in  our  gardens . 

35  Hybrid  Double  Mixed.  Choice  colors . 

ARCTOTIS  GRANDIS.  (African  Daisy.) 

36  A  splendid  annual  with  large  daisy-like 

flowers  of  a  pure  white,  the  reverse  of 
the  petals  being  a  pale  lilac.  Easily 
grown  in  the  sun.  Valuable  for  cutting

ASTERS 


(Schoenkranz,  Aster.) 

This  flower  is  not  only  one  of  the  most  popular,  but  also  one  of  the  most  effective  of  our  garden 
favorites,  producing  flowers  of  great  richness  and  variety  of  color,  in  the  most  perfect  and  beautiful 
form  during  the  late  summer  and  early  fall.  They  bear  a  striking  resemblance  to  Chrysanthemums 
and  are  fully  as  useful  for  cut  flowers. 

If  Asters  are  grown  in  the  same  spot  a  few  times,  they  are  apt  to  be  attacked  by  a  disease  that  turns 
them  yellow  before  they  flower.  They  should  be  grown  in  a  different  bed  each  year  and  if  the  seed  is 
treated  first  with  Semesan,  this  trouble  will  be  reduced.  Sometimes  ants  carry  Aphides  to  the  roots  and 
cause  the  plants  to  turn  yellow  and  die.  More  large  flowers  will  be  produced  if  the  center  bud  on  the 
main  stalk  is  pinched  out  as  soon  as  noticed. 

The  recent  development  of  Asters  in  California  has  placed  them  in  a  class  with  the  finest  and  most

DELPHINIUM.  (Larkspur.) 

In  variety  and  beauty  of  its  blue  tints,  which 
are  as  numerous  as  they  are  charming,  no  other 
plant  can  equal  the  Delphinium.  The  brilliant 
(lowers  are  strongly  effective  in  beds  or  masses, 
in  borders,  shrubberies,  or  in  combination  with 
white  lilies.  Some  of  the  species  flower  both 
early  and  late:  the  season  for  all  can  be  pro¬ 
longed  by  cutting  away  withered  flower-stems. 
All  varieties  are  easily  cultivated  and  adaptable 
to  many  conditions,  but  in  a  soil  deeply  dug  and 
well  enriched  with  flue  old  manure,  their  blooms 
are  the  ttnest.  Setting  them  1  y2  to  2  feet  each 
way  is  not  too  much  for  the  taller  sorts.

NASTURTIUMS. 

For  picking  for  the  house,  few  flowers  can  com¬ 
pare  with  these  easily  grown  annuals.  Time  was 
when  no  garden  was  without  a  few,  either  tall 
or  dwarf,  but  the  appearance  of  black  aphis 
makes  it  necessary  to  have  a  sprayer  and  some 
Nicotine  handy.  The  soil  seems  to  get  “sick” 
when  they  are  grown  too  often  in  the  same  spot 


and  the  resilts  are  disappointing.  The  more 

nasturtiums  are  picked  the  more  flowers  will 

come,  altho  if  a  few  seeds  are  wanted  to  pickle 
and  allowed  to  ripen,  no  particular  harm  would 
be  done.  The  tall  kinds  are  suitable  for  training 
up  on  posts  or  fences,  the  dwarf  for  a  border.

PANSY 

(Heartsease,  Viola  Tricolor.) 

(Stiefmuettercben.) 

We  endeavor  to  get  absolutely  the  best  strains  of  Pansies  grown  in  France,  England  and  Germany.  A 
perusal  of  the  list  will  show  the  choicest  varieties,  regardless  of  cost  and  if  proper  care  is  exercised  in 
sowing,  the  germination  will  be  found  to  be  high.  Seed  sown  in  hotbeds  or  cold  frames  in  February  or 
March  will  flower  better  during  the  fall  and  winter,  while  that  sown  in  August  or  September  and  win¬ 
tered  over  will  give  better  results  in  spring  and  summer.  On  account  of  the  delicate  nature  of  the 
fancy  varieties,  extreme  care  should  be  used  to  start  the  seeds,  light,  rich  soil,  made  fine  with  a  rake 
or  sieve  being  important  and  a  covering  of  newspaper  or  cheese-cloth  until  the  seeds,  which  should  be 
only  slightly  covered  with  soil,  are  up,  is  absolutely  necessary  to  insure  a  good  stand. 

If  more  plants  come  up  than  are  needed,  when  they  have  their  fourth  or  fifth  leaf  transplant  them 
3  in.  apart  each  way,  taking  them  as  they  come,  rather  than  picking  out  the  strongest,  as  the  delicate 
plants  are  apt  to  produce  the  finest  flowers.  Protection  from  the  midday  sun  is  necessary  to  have  large

It  is,  perhaps,  not  generally  understood  by  the 
buying  public  that  seed  of  the  double  sorts  are 
only  obtained  by  artificially  fecundating  single 
blooms  with  the  pollen  from  the  double.  This 
makes  the  seed  necessarily  high  priced.  In  spite 
of  all  possible  care  only  a  small  percentage  will 
produce  double  flowers,  but  the  singles  are  of 
an  unusually  fine  quality.  The  finest  doubles 
are  always  grown  from  seed;  when  propagated 
from  cuttings  they  degenerate. 

The  weaker  seedlings  should  be  carefully  saved, 
as  these  invariably  produce  the  finest  double 
blooms.  The  same  is  true  of  the  single  sorts, 
the  large  strong  seedlings  usually  being  weedy, 
while  the,  at  first,  least  promising  ones  produce 
the  very  finest  flowers  of  the  best  colorings. 

It  is  always  best  to  sow  Petunias  indoors  and 
transplant  to  the  open  in  May.

dry  and  retain  their  bright  color  all  through  the

can  be  kept  within  bounds  or  they  will  take  pos¬ 
session  and  become  a  nuisance.  The  “lanterns” 
will  be  increased  in  number  and  size  if  the  plants 
are  fed  a  little  Nitrate  of  Potash  two  or  three

they  do  not  stand  transplanting.  Sow  very 
thinly,  preferably  in  cloudy  weather  or  after  a 
shower,  barely  cover  the  seed,  press  down  firmly, 
and  they  will  come  up  in  a  few  days.  If  they 
come  up  too  thickly  they  must  be  thinned  out  to 
stand  3  or  4  in.  or  more  apart  if  you  wish  best 
results.  It  is  well  to  make  several  sowings  at  in¬ 


tervals  to  keep  up  a  succession  of  bloom.  If 
picked  just  before  expanding  the  flowers  will 
last  several  days.  It  is  also  advisable  to  pick  the 
old  flowers  as  soon  as  fallen,  which  will  lengthen 
the  blooming  season  quite  a  while.

PORTTJLACA.  (Portulak.)  (Irish  Mows.) 

Too  much  cannot  be  said  in  praise  of  this  pop¬ 
ular  and  handsome  annual  which  produces  a  per¬ 
fect  carpet  in  a  remarkably  short  time.  Succeeds 
best  in  an  exposed,  sunny  location  and  flourishes 
in  dry  and  very  shallow  soil,  it  is  of  a  creeping 
nature  with  moss-like  foliage,  which  from  early 
summer  until  frost  is  hidden  by  the  brilliant  rose¬ 
like  flowers  that  open  wide  in  the  morning  and 
close  in  the  evening.  Because  of  its  foliage  it  is 
frequently  known  as  Irish  Moss  or  Moss  Itose.

Modern  culture  of  Sweet  Peas  has  produced  so 
many  beautiful  colors  and  such  large  flowers  that 
they  are  almost  indispensable.  That  these  line 
new  varieties  are  harder  to  grow,  goes  without 
saying,  for  with  many  people  success  seems  to  be 
the  exception. 

.We  made  a  canvass  among  our  customers  and 
have  come  to  the  conclusion  that  poor  soil  causes 
most  of  the  failures  and  the  unfavorable  place 
they  were  sown  and  the  wrong  method  of  culti¬ 
vation  caused  the  rest. 

Sweet  Peas  need  rich  soil — the  richer  the  better 
— and  it  should  be  rich  to  a  depth  of  at  least  one 
foot.  Raw  Bone  Meal,  a  pound  to  three  feet  of 
row,  is  the  best  fertilizer,  especially  in  heavy  soil. 
Sheep  manure  comes  next,  and  old  cow  manure 
and  rotted  horse  manure  follow,  but  fresh  horse 
manure  should  never  be  used  and  in  no  case 
should  any  fertilizer  come  into  direct  contact  with 
the  seed,  especially  if  the  fertilizer  is  fresh. 

In  clay  soil,  three  or  four  inches  is  a  sufficient 
depth  to  sow7  the  seed  and  in  light  soils  six  or 
eight  inches  will  be  better.  Some  people  advise 
sowing  the  seed  in  a  trench  and  tilling  in  the  soil 
as  the  plants  grow,  but  this  sometimes  smothers 
the  plants.  Others  advise  covering  the  seeds  to 
the  proper  depth  at  once  and  treading  the  soil 
down  firmly.  The  latter  method  will  take  the 
seed  longer  to  grow,  so  that  early  sowing  is  neces 
sary  if  early  flowers  are  wanted.  By  this  method 
successive  sowings  may  be  made  so  that  flowers 
may  be  had  until  frost. 

Better  results  are  obtained  by  having  the  vines 
away  from  walls  and  tight  fences,  as  the  plants 
seem  to  require  air. 

If  the  soil  is  frequently  stirred  and  watered  too 
often,  rank  vines  are  obtained,  but  at  the  expense 
of  flowers.  It  is  therefore  better  to  only  pull  the 
weeds  and  stir  the  soil  but  little.  If  the  vines  are 
allowed  to  go  to  seed  they  soon  cease  blooming. 

A  mulch  of  lawn  trimmings  or  similar  material 
laid  about  the  plants  keeps  the  soil  moist  and  cool 
and  also  checks  the  grow  th  of  weeds. 

If  the  seed  is  treated  with  Sweet  Pea  Bacteria 
there  will  be  an  increase  in  size  of  flower  and  a 
more  extended  blooming  season.

SWEET  SULTANS.  (Centaurea  Moschata.) 

Undoubtedly  the  finest  of  all  Centaureas  for  cut 
flower  purposes.  The  beautiful  sweet-scented, 
artistic-shaped  flowers  are  borne  on  long,  strong 
stems,  and  when  cut  will  stand  for  several  days 
in  good  condition.  It  is  best,  in  this  latitude,  to 
sow  very  early  in  the  spring,  so  that  they  may 
perfect  their  'flowers  before  very  hot  weather 
comes. 

473  Americana  (Basket  Flower).  A  splen¬

SWEET  WILLIAM.  (Dianthus  Barbatus.) 

(Bartnelke.) 

Attractive,  free-flowering  hardy  perennials  usu¬ 
ally  classed  as  Dianthus  with  China  Pinks,  but 
are  different  from  them  in  not  blooming  until  the 
second  year.  In  beds  and  borders  they  will  pro¬ 
duce  a  splendid  effect  in  their  rich,  velvety  flow¬ 
ers  of  many  colors.  They  are  of  easy  culture  and 
profuse  bloomers,  appearing  so  early  in  the  sea¬ 
son  that  they  fully  repay  for  time  and  effort 
spent  upon  them.  It  is  much  better  to  raise  new, 
vigorous  young  plants  from  seed  every  season 


than  to  divide  the  old  plants.

TRITOM  A.  (Red  Hot  Poker.) 

Hardy  perennial  producing  long  stalks  of  gor¬ 
geous  flowers  that  become  the  most  conspicuous 
things  in  the  garden.  From  seed  the  roots  pro¬ 
duce  flowers  the  second  year.  Unless  protected 
from  the  severe  winter  weather,  it  is  advisable 
to  dig  and  store  them  as  Dahlias  are.

VERBENA.  (Eisenkraut.) 

This  well-known  and  popular  annual  of  a  low 
procumbent  habit  is  very  desirable  for  massing  in 
beds,  for  borders,  wundow7  boxes  and  hanging 
baskets.  Large  clusters  of  brilliant  flowers  are 
borne  in  profusion  from  the  early  summer  until 
frost.  The  shades  run  from  snow-white  to  deep 
purple,  including  eyed-sorts  and  striped  varieties. 
They  lend  themselves  readily  for  bouquets.  Sown 
in  the  open  in  May,  the  seed  will  produce  flower¬ 
ing  plants  by  August,  but  the  season  may  well  be 
prolonged  by  starting  indoors  and  transplanting 
after  danger  of  frost  is  over.  Soak  the  seed  before 
planting.  A  light  turfy  loam  is  best.  The  mam¬ 
moth-flowering  strain  we  offer  has  trusses  and  in¬ 
dividual  flowers  of  the  largest  size.

where  they  are  very  popular.  The  oriental  color¬ 
ing  of  the  blooms  in  their  rich  reds  and  yellows 
is  very  effective.  Succeed  best  in  light,  rich  soil 
in  a  moist  atmosphere.  Sow  the  seed  early  in  a 
hot-bed  and  transplant.  On  the  approach  of  cold

ZINNIA 

With  seed  supplies  cut  off  from  the  usual  sources  during  the  late  war,  the  world  turned  to  California 
to  fill  the  gap.  The  result  brought  us,  among  other  things,  the  modern  Zinnia.  Not  only  have  they 
been  greatly  increased  in  size  of  flower  but  also  in  color  range  until  we  now  have  more  than  a  dozen. 
Not  only  that,  but  new  forms  have  been  developed  so  that  the  Zinnia  now  ranks  as  one  of  the  two  or 
three  most  popular  and  widely  sown  flowers  grown.  That  all  these  improvements  have  been  made 
without  sacrificing  vigor  and  sturdiness  of  the  plants  is  gratifying  because  there  is  hardly  another 
plant  that  will  flow'er  so  well  under  adverse  conditions.  The  separate  colors  enable  our  friends  to  work 
out  almost  any  color  scheme  in  the  garden,  an  art  in  garden-making  that  adds  greatly  to  the  pleasure 
of  the  effort.

LAWN  GRASS  SEED 


A  GOOD  well  kept  lawn  is  not  only  a  beautiful  and  essentially  a  necessary  feature  of  our 
home  and  grounds,  but  it  materially  enhances  the  value  of  the  property. 

We  are  interested  in  your  lawn  by  selling  you  the  best  obtainable  seeds  and  fertiliz¬ 
ers  for  your  particular  situation.  You  will  be  using  false  economy  by  saving  a  few  cents  by 
buying  cheap  seeds  from  inexperienced  seed  dealers,  which  usually  result  in  the  added  ex¬ 
pense  of  frequent  repatching  of  weedy,  faulty  spots,  or  eventually  replanting  the  whole  lawn. 

In  preparing  a  new  lawn,  of  filling  in  an  old  one,  only  the  best  quality  of  seed  should 
be  used.  Higher  germination,  freeness  from  noxious  seed  and  general  appearance  are  then 
assured.  Only  good  recommended  fertilizers  should  be  used.  Bone  meal  is  probably  most 
largely  used — free  from  weed  seed  and  lasting,  although  pulverized  sheep  manure  and  sev¬ 
eral  other  well  known  brands  are  used  with  good  results. 

Many  lawn  experts  say  that  around  September  first  is  probably  the  best  time  to  make 
a  new  lawn  or  refurnish  the  old  one.  Fall  rains,  cooler  weather  and  fever  weeds  are  good 
reasons  for  this  advice.  In  spring — early  April  is  better  than  late  May  or  June  for  best  re¬ 
sults  because  of  the  hot  weather,  less  rain,  weed  trouble,  decreasing  growing  conditions 
quite  materially,  although  with  proper  care,  grass  seed  can  be  sown  most  any  time. 

Water  is  very  essential  to  the  lawn  if  applied  knowingly.  There  is  one  safe  rule  for 
watering  the  lawn,  garden,  etc.  Don’t  water  until  necessary  and  then  soak.  Shallow  water¬ 
ing  every  day  causes  roots  to  the  surface  where  they  will  usually  dry  out  and  wilt  when 
sun  shines.  So,  when  you  water  the  lawn,  soak  thoroughly  to  bottom  of  roots  and  it  will 
not  need  watering  nearly  so  often. 

Our  long  experience  in  our  line  of  business  has  caused  us  to  study  soil  and  climatic  con¬ 
ditions  of  this  vicinity  and  has  enabled  us  to  know  lawn  requirements  as  to  seeds  and  fer¬ 
tilizers.  We  have  made  up  certain  mixtures  of  grass  seeds  most  suitable  to  meet  the  neces¬ 
sary  conditions  whether  clay  or  sand,  wet  or  dry,  as  the  case  may  be. 

We  also  carry  other  varieties  of  grass  seed  for  special  or  peculiar  conditions  and  gladly 
offer  our  service  in  assisting  you  to  have  “that  perfect  lawn.” 


LAWN  GRASS  SEED 

This  is  the  same  mixture  of  grasses  that  we  have  sold  for  fifty  years  with  utmost  satis¬ 
faction.  Nothing  but  the  highest  grades  and  cleanest  seeds  are  used.  A  pound  sows  10  x  20 
feet  of  bare  ground.  Price:  1  lb.  50c;  3  lbs.  $1.40;  5  lbs.  $2.25;  10  lbs.  $4.25;  25  lbs.  and  over 
40c  per  lb. 


This  is  our  well  known  and  increasingly  popular  mixture  of  Grass  Seeds  that  will  actu¬ 
ally  make  a  lawn,  no  matter  how  shady  nor  what  makes  the  shade.  Sown  early,  before  the 
leaves  on  the  trees  get  started,  it  will  come  up  promptly  and  stay  all  summer.  Under  Maples 
and  Elms,  it  is  well  to  put  on  a  light  sowing  of  fertilizer  three  or  four  times  during  the  sea¬ 
son  and  a  good  soaking,  when  necessary,  due  to  the  demands  of  the  tree  roots,  which  usu¬ 
ally  fill  the  ground  and  will  cause  any  grasses  to  succumb,  but  in  most  shady  places,  SHADI- 
LAWN  will  survive  better  than  any  other.  1  lb.  50c;  3  lbs.  $1.40;  5  lbs.  $2.25;  10  lbs.  $4.25;  25  lbs.

CREEPING  BENT  MIXTURE 

In  some  localities  a  tough  grass  is  required  that  will  withstand  rough  treatment.  On 
Putting  Greens  it  has  been  found  that  the  Bent  Grasses  best  meet  the  conditions.  This 
mixture  has  a  liberal  proportion  of  Bent  Grass  seed  and  will  give  that  fine  tough  sod  so  much 
desired.  A  pound  sows  15x20  feet.  Price:  1  lb.  90c;  3  lbs.  $2.60;  5  lbs.  $4.25;  10  lbs.  $8.25;  25  lbs.

BEANS — Dwarf  or  Bush — ( Bush  Bohneti) 

Beans  need  more  space  than  is  usually  believed — at  least  two  inches  apart  in  the  rows.  Being 
tender,  none  should  be  planted  before  middle  of  May,  but  successive  plantings  may  be  made  until  be¬ 
ginning  of  August.  Unless  the  garden,  through  long  use  is  well  supplied  with  the  proper  legume  bac¬ 
teria,  a  36c  Composite  bottle  will  inoculate  all  the  Beans,  Peas  and  Sweet  Peas  you  will  probably  sow 
and  will  many  times  repay  the  trouble  in  larger  yields.  Bean  Rust  disease  is  aggravated  if  beans  are 
cultivated  when  wet. 

One  pound  will  plant  50  feet  of  row.

Limas  can  not  be  planted  as  early  as  other  beans,  but  time  may  be  gained  by  opening  a  three  inch 
trench  the  day  before  planting,  so  the  sun  will  warm  the  ground  enough,  and  sticking  the  seeds  eye 
down,  eight  to  eighteen  inches  apart  according  to  the  fertility  of  the  soil  and  just  deep  enough  to  be  in 
sight.  As  they  sprout,  fill  up  the  trench.  Cracked  or  broken  seeds  will  not  grow.  When  the  bushes  are 
well  set  with  pods  put  a  tablespoonful  of  fertilizer,  high  in  pliosphoric^acid,  around  each  plant  which 
will  greatly  increase  the  yield.

CABBAGE—  (Kopf  Kohl) 

Aside  from  selecting  cabbage  seed  of  known  origin  and  suitable  for  this  locality  the  essential  thing 
is  to  have  the  land  free  from  the  so-called  Club  Root  disease.  Cabbage  should  not  follow  a  crop  of  Cauli¬ 
flower,  Turnip  or  Cabbage  and  the  leaves  of  none  of  these  should  be  allowed  to  get  back  on  the  land, 
otherwise  cabbage  plants  will  form  large,  worthless  roots  and  no  head.  For  a  few  heads  in  the  garden, 
plants  are  ready  in  May. 

Sow  one  ounce  for  3000  plants.

CAULIFLOWER — (Blumenkohl) 


The  weather  has  more  to  do  with  success  in  raising  Cauliflower  than  almost  any  other  vegetable. 
If  it  is  cool,  good  heads  may  be  expected,  if  not,  the  crop  will  be  more  or  less  of  a  failure,  anything 
tout  the  very  best  seed  however,  invites  failure  from  the  very  outset.  Because  the  price  of  seed  runs 
into  large  figures  is  a  very  poor  reason  for  trying  to  save  a  dollar  on  the  seed.  The  crop  is  what  you 
want  and  no  poor  seed  will  ever  produce  a  good  crop  of  anything  except  trouble  and  disappointment. 

One  onnce  will  produce  3000  plants. 


Plants  ready  in  May

ing  in  sections  having  long  dry  seasons .

CELERY — (Sellerie) 

One  important  factor  in  raising  celery  from  seed  is  to  have  the  seed  bed  line  and  the  seed  firmly 
packed  down  when  it  is  sown,  a  half  inch  deep.  Next  it  is  necessary  to  keep  It  growing — a  check  in 
growth  is  sure  to  be  followed  by  hollow  celery.  In  the  garden,  plants  which  are  ready  In  June,  may  be 
set  out  four  inches  apart  between  alternate  rows  of  early  corn,  affording  necessary  shade  at  the  start. 
After  the  corn  is  pulled  the  stalks  should  be  removed  to  let  the  celery  grow.  Plant  only  the  best  plants.

CORN — ( Zucker  Mais ) 

Plant  in  rows  and  thin  out  inferior  stalks,  leaving  a  strong  stalk  each  foot  or  fifteen  Inches.  Rows 
may  be  thirty  inches  apart  for  early  dwarf  and  forty-eight  inches  for  late  tall  sorts.  Plant  a  half  inch 
deep  at  first  and  deeper  as  the  ground  warms  up,  but  three  inches  is  the  limit.  The  suckers  should  be 
twisted  off  when  they  get  six  or  eight  inches  high  and  the  stalks  hilled  up  when  a  foot  high.  Shallow 
cultivating  is  important  because  the  corn  roots  are  near  the  surface.  Two  plantings  may  be  made  but 
if  more  are  wanted,  it  is  safer  to  plant  later  sorts  early.  May  10th  is,  on  an  average,  the  earliest  safe 
date  to  plant  corn,  but  a  few  plants  can  be  started  in  small  pots  earlier  and  planted  out  after  danger 
from  frost  has  passed. 


On©  ponnd  will  plant  100  feet  ©f  row  or  100  hills.

The  slightly  bitter  taste  of  this  excellent  salad  plant  is  an  agreeable  change  from  lettuce  and  is  at 
its  best  when  lettuce  is  past  its  prime.  Endive  is  handled  much  like  lettuce,  taking  longer  to  grow,  but 
requires  blanching,  which  is  done  when  the  plants  are  large  enough,  by  gathering  the  outside  leaves  to¬ 
gether  and  tying  them  with  raffia,  not  at  the  ends  but  about  half  way  up,  a  few  at  a  time,  allowing  three 
weeks  to  blanch,  when  they  must  be  used  or  they  will  decay.  As  frost  comes  the  plants  can  be  lifted, 
soil  and  all  and  stored  in  baskets  in  a  cool  place  where  they  will  keep  for  a  month.

LETTUCE — ( Lattich  Salat ) 


While  lettuce  may  be  had  at  the  grocer’s  the  year  around,  the  garden  still  produces  better  than  can 
be  bought  and  its  care  and  culture  are  so  simple  that  the  children  can  run  that  part  of  the  garden.  The 
worst  pest  is  the  Root  Aphis  and  this  is  easily  controlled  with  a  sowing  of  Tobacco  Dust  in  the  furrow 
under  the  seed.  An  occasional  watering  with  Nitrate  of  Soda  will  greatly  aid  lettuce  to  large  size. 
Loose  leaf  sorts  may  be  gathered  when  large  enough — heading  kinds  should  be  transplanted  or  thinned 
to  six  Inches  apart  and  the  less  these  are  watered  the  better,  to  prevent  rotting  in  the  heart.  Certain 
kinds  are  intended  for  inside;  outdoors  these  are  apt  to  be  tough  and  bitter.

MUSHROOM — ( Erdschwamm ) 

The  chief  essential  in  raising  Mushrooms  indoors  is  a  controlled  temperature.  The  ideal  tempera¬

ONION — (Zwiebel) 

To  grow  large  onions  from  seed,  it  is  necessary  to  have  light,  very  rich  soil,  seed  adapted  to  this 
climate  and  patience  to  keep  the  weeds  out.  Sow  thinly,  one-fourth  inch  deep  in  rows  a  suitable  dis¬ 
tance  apart.  Grown  from  setts,  onions  need  quite  as  much  care  but  more  are  used  for  bunching  before 
they  form  bulbs  and  soil  need  not  be  so  extremely  rich;  they  get  large  very  much  sooner  also  but  will 
not  keep  as  long  in  storage.  In  the  fall  we  have  the  hardy  Egyptian  Onion  setts;  in  the  spring  the 
yellow  and  white  bottom  setts.  Price  on  request.

PARSNIP — ( Pastinak ) 

Being  a  plant  that  requires  all  season  to  mature,  it  is  essential  to  sow  early  In  May  and  get  the  seed 
up  the  first  time.  A  beating  rain  may  harden  the  ground  and  prevent  the  delicate  sprouts  from  coming 
through,  therefore  sow  a  little  early  radish  in  the  row  along  with  the  parsnip,  which  will  break  the 
crust  for  the  latter.  Sow  a  half  inch  deep  and  thin  to  two  or  three  inches  apart.  Never  try  to  raise 
parsnips  on  freshly  manured  land  as  they  will  grow  forked  roots  of  little  use. 

Use  one  ounce  of  fresh  seed  to  200  feet.

PEAS — ( Erbsen ) 

If  you  have  the  room,  few  vegetables  taste  so  good  as  home  grown  peas.  They  should  be  sown 
early,  the  earliest  in  March,  an  inch  deep  at  first  and  as  the  ground  warms  up,  deeper  but  not  over 
three  inches.  Later  sowings,  say  July,  are  apt  to  be  disappointing,  so  it  is  better  to  sow  early,  medium 
and  late  sorts  at  the  same  time,  the  later  sorts  making  larger  pods  and  seeds.  It  pays  to  inoculate  the 
seed  with  Legume  Bacteria,  same  as  beans.  If  the  pods  are  not  well  filled,  the  soil  lacks  phosphorus. 


and  if  the  vines  do  not  grow  well  the  soil  should  be  limed  before  the  next

SALSIFY—  (Haferwurzel) 

Commonly  called  Oyster  Plant  because  it  tastes  so  much  like  oysters.  A  winter  vegetable  but 
little  appreciated  by  most  people,  but  greatly  liked  by  those  who  know  it.  Early  Radish  seed  sown 
with  salsify  will  assure  a  good  stand  as  it  is  important  to  get  it  up  well  the  first  time  so  the  roots  will 
be  large  enough.  Like  parsnips,  they  may  be  left  in  the  ground  in  winter  and  dug  as  wanted.  If 
frozen  when  dug,  will  thaw  out,  without  injury  in  icy  cold  water.

SQUASH — (Speise  Kuerbis) 

The  chief  trouble  encountered  with  squashes  is  caused  by  the  bugs  and  borers.  A  dusting  of  Slug 
Shot  after  each  rain  will  check  the  bugs  but  the  borers  in  the  stem,  which  attack  the  running  sorts  can 
be  circumvented  only  by  causing  the  vines  to  root  at  three  or  four  of  the  joints  by  covering  with  soil, 
so  that,  when  the  borer  gets  into  the  main  stem  and  would  kill  the  vine,  the  roots  at  the  joints  would  be 
sufficient  to  sustain  it  and  no  damage  would  result.  This  simple  precaution  has  saved  many  acres  of 
squash.  Plant  six  or  eight  seeds  in  a  hill,  the  early  three  or  four  and  the  late  sorts  twice  as  far  apart, 
after  middle  of  May  and  the  ground  is  warm. 

One  ounce  makes  40  hills  of  early  and  ten  of  late  sorts.  Pkt.  Oz.  J4  lb.  Lb.

TOMATO — ( Liebesapfel ) 

More  and  more  Tomatoes  are  being  recommended  for  their  food  value,  which  remains  even  after 
cooking.  A  few  should  be  in  every  garden  and  if  grown  and  tied  to  plant  stakes  30  inches  apart  may 
be  kept  tidy.  Start  the  seeds  early  or  get  the  plants  from  us  later  and  set  them  deep,  six  inches  or 
more  if  you  can,  but  clip  off  all  the  lower  leaves  and  half  the  rest  when  setting  them.  This  and  plenty 
of  water  at  the  time  will  prevent  wilting.  Should  the  vines  still  have  green  fruits  on  the  approach  of 
frost  pull  them  up  and  hang  them  up  by  the  roots  in  a  cool  part  of  the  cellar  and  even  the  small  ones 
will  ripen  .A  little  Nitrate  of  Potash  two  or  three  times  during  the  early 
benefit. 

An  ounce  will  make  3000  plants.  Pkt.

DAHLIAS 

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

GLADIOLI 


Gladioli  should  be  planted  at  intervals  of  ten  days  from  the  time  the  ground  can  be

continuous  mass  of  bloom  from  July  until  frost.

inches  deep  and  an  inch  or  two  deeper  if  of  the  Speciosum  variety.  When  planted  the  bulbs 
should  rest  upon  an  inch  of  sand  and  about  the  same  quantity  should  surround  the  bulbs  on 
all  sides.  A  light  covering  of  leaves  or  litter  should  be  spread  when  the  ground  freezes. 


Auratum  (Gold  Banded).  Undoubtedly  one  of  the  finest.  Its  large,  graceful, 
fragrant  flowers  are  composed  of  six  petals  of  a  delicate  ivory-white  color,

white  .

HARDY  ROSES 


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

To  counteract  any  damage  to  the  leaves  by  worms  use  Arsenate  of  Lead;  for  aphis,  thrip, 
or  red  spider,  use  Nicotine;  and  for  fungus  use  Bordeaux  Mixture  or  Sulphur,  for  Brown 
Spot  use  Massey  or  Manganar  Dust.

INSECTICIDES  AND  SPRAYING  COMPOUNDS 

Most  injurious  Insects  are  roughly  divided  into  two  groups,  those  that  chew  or  consume 
the  foliage  or  flowers,  which  may  be  reached  with  stomach  poisons  and  those  that  suck  the 
plant  juices  which  require  a  substance  that  kills  by  contact.  Several  of  these  may  be  com¬ 
bined  for  an  all  around  spray  on  a  small  scale  operation,  but  might  be  wasteful  and  ex¬ 
pensive  otherwise.  Be  sure  to  learn  into  which  class  the  pest  belongs  that  you  wish  to  com¬ 
bat  to  avoid  disappointment  with  your  efforts.

FERTILIZERS 


The  need  for  different  formulas  of  Fertilizers  is  based  on  the  needs  of  the  plants.  Nitro¬ 
gen,  sometimes  called  Ammonia,  produces  the  leaves,  Phosphoric  Acid,  enlarges  the  flowers 
and  fills  out  the  seeds  and  Potash  makes  the  roots  and  stiffens  the  plant  stem.  Which  fer¬ 
tilizer  to  use  should  be  governed  by  the  results  sought,  most  plants  requiring  some  of  each 
of  the  above  elements  but  varying  in  the  percentage.  We  handle  the  following  list  and 
make  the  analyses  speak  for  each  formula  but  should  add  by  way  of  caution  that  the  higher 
the  analysis  the  stronger  the  product  and  the  more  care  should  be  used  to  follow  directions 
in  order  to  avoid  burning.  The  figures  given  represent  the  percentage  of  Nitrogen,  Phos¬ 
phoric  Acid  and  Potash  respectively  and  always  in  the  same  order.

Manure!  More  Manure! 

You  must  have  manure,  jj*- 
and  thanks  to  ADCO  you 
can  have  quantities  of  it. 

You  can  turn  every  bit 
of  vegetable  refuse — cut¬ 
tings,  weeds,  leaves,  etc.,  from  the  i 
den,  straw  and  cornstalks  from 
farm,  into  rich  manure  by  the  sit 
ADCO  Process.  Information  free. 


GRANULATED  PEAT  MOSS 

The  more  we  observe  and  use  this  recent  addition  to  aids  in  successful  gardening  the 
more  enthusiastic  we  become.  It  has  innumerable  uses,  such  as  lightening  heavy  soil,  cover¬ 
ing  small  seeds,  mulching  plants  and  shrubs  during  the  summer  to  retain  moisture,  and  in 
winter  to  prevent  heaving,  spreading  on  the  lawn  after  seeding  and  fertilizing  to  protect  the 
seed  until  it  sprouts,  mixing  with  soil  for  potting,  rooting  cuttings,  growing  bulbs  in  the 
house  in  water  and  a  bowl,  in  the  chicken  coop  to  conserve  the  droppings,  in  short  it  is 
almost  as  useful  as  the  soil  itself  and  practically  assures  success  wherever  and  whenever  it 
is  used.  Used  with  discretion  a  bale  will  last  two  or  three  years  in  the  ordinary  home 
garden,  as  it  contains  about  18  bushels  when  ready  to  use.  A  bale  is  2x2x3  feet.  Price,  1 
bale  $4.25,  5  bales  at  $4.00,  10  bales  at  $3.75  each.  If  taken,  50c  per  bale  reduction  will  be 
allowed.
