HI Suggestions to Customers hi

FOR ORDERING

Cashman's “Seeds of Quality”

The attention of our customers is respectfully called to the following directions, which
will, if followed, be an aid to purchasers as well as ourselves.

WE USE GREAT CARE to avoid mistakes in filling
orders and to see that the wishes of our customers are
carried out to the letter. We have received numerous
compliments on the completeness and accuracy of our
system. Please remember, however, that no matter
how careful we are and how much pains we take, mistakes
will occur if the order is not properly made out; therefore,
we ask you to assist us in giving you the best possible
satisfaction, by carefully following the suggestions for
ordering given below.

OUR ORDER BLANKS. It will be a great help to us in
filling your order correctly and speedily if you make it out
on our order blank as follows: Place the quantity wanted
before each article; write the quantity, name of each
article wanted, and then catalog price for each article; —
space being provided on each line for same. If you wish
to write us about anything not provided for on the order
blank, use a separate sheet. If you want more order
blanks write for them.

HOW TO ORDER. Be sure to sign your Name, Post
Office, County and State very plainly on every order,
also be sure to write plainly the name of the town where
you get your freight and express. If a wife orders it will
be better to sign her husband’s name, for instance, Mrs.
J. C. Jones instead of Mrs. Helen Jones. Carefully fill
out each space in the order blank.

HOW TO SEND MONEY. Send cash with your order.
The best ways to remit are by Post Office Orders, Express
Money Orders, Bank Drafts or Currency in Registered
Letters. Remittances may be sent at our risk in any of
the above ways. We will accept stamps for sums less
than one dollar. Customers sending orders amounting to
more than five dollars may deduct from the amount of the
order the cost of Money Order, Draft or Registered Letter.

WE DO NOT SHIP C. O. D. unless one-third of the
amount of order is remitted with the order as a guarantee
of good faith.

FREIGHT AND EXPRESS RATES. Remembar
that we do not pay the charges and that it is just as
cheap to pay them at your end as here. Always state
whether you want your shipment by freight or express,
otherwise we ship by the cheapest route. Let us urge you
to order early, have your seeds come by freight and save
yourself expense. The freight charges on 100 pounds
will be little more than on 20 to 50 to 80 pounds. In all
instances we shall try to save you shipping charges.

PREPAID STATIONS. Before sending your order learn
whether or not the town to which you tell us to ship your
seeds is what is called by the railroad company “A Prepay
Station.” If you will instruct us to send your seeds to a
town where the freight charges must be prepaid (which is
called a Prepay Station) you will save us much trouble and
yourself much delay if you send plenty of extra money to
prepay charges. If you send too much we will return what
is over. If you neglect to send money we will ship your
seeds to the railroad station nearest to you where there is
an agent and where you can pay freight charges.

OUR SHIPPING FACILITIES are unexcelled. We
have three express companies and three lines of railroad at
Owatonna, therefore there is no seed firm that can make
quicker shipments than we can. We have two sidetracks
to our packing houses, which enables us to handle several
carloads daily. We make it a rule that all orders (except
potatoes in freezing weather) shall be shipped the day
after the order is received. Order early so you can wait
for the shipment by freight and thus save express charges.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY will be attested by any of the
following banks: The Security State Bank. National

Farmers Bank, First National Bank, or the United States
Express, American Express or Wells-Fargo Express agents
at Owatonna, Minn.

IMPORTANT NOTICE. It occasionally happens (though
very seldom) that an order is lost in coming to us. We
also receive many letters and orders without name or
address; therefore, if any who order do not hear from us
within a reasonable length of time, they should send
US a duplicate order, stating the date on which the
original order was sent, also post office from which the
original order was mailed. We will investigate the
matter promptly and make same entirely satisfactory to
you.

EARLY ORDERS are better for you and better for us ag
we are not then so badly rushed as in March and April.
Early orders will have plenty of time to reach you by
freight, which is cheaper than express (except on small
quantities). Potatoes and other perishable articles cannot
be shipped until danger from frost is past. We can usualy
begin shipping them south about Feb. 15th. We guarantee
that they shall reach destination in good condition, if
date of shipping is left to us. If a shipment arrives in bad
condition have the freight agent write on freight receipt,
which he gives: you, the condition of shipment, then mail
freight receipt to us, stating in as few words as possible
your complaint. We ship potatoes, etc., at your risk when
you order us to do so.

NO PREMIUMS. Many seedsmen try to make their
customers believe they are getting great bargains — by
quoting discounts and offering premiums. We quote net
prices which are as low as choice first class seeds
can be sold. These misleading discounts and premiums
are the hole — our net prices are the meat of the dough-
nut.

TESTING SEEDS. Before starting to fill our orders we
test the vitality of all seeds and our customers will receive
only such seeds as have proven their germinating quali-
ties. We propose to demonstrate to every customer that
“Quality Counts.”

AS TO WARRANTY. We believe our seeds will produce
for you the best crops you have ever grown. Most of the
failures with seeds, plants and bulbs are due to causes en-
tirely beyond our control, such as soil conditions, too deep
or too shallow planting, too wet or dry soil, unfavorable
weather, time and manner of planting, etc. Our customers
will readily see that it would be sheer folly for anyone to
warrant seeds to produce perfect crops and we want it
plainly understood that while we exercise great care to
have all seeds pure and reliable and also true to name, we
do not give any warranty, express or implied as to descrip-
tion, quality, productiveness or any other matter of any
seeds, bulbs, plants, etc., we send out, and will not be in
any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does
not accept the seeds on these terms and conditions they are
to be returned at once and the money that has been paid
for same will be refunded. No officer, agent or employe
of the company is authorized to make any warranty what-
soever. It is to our interest, however, to have everything
of the highest quality obtainable, and only such seeds that
will not only grow but prove true to name and description.
We have so much confidence in our seeds that we hereby
agree to fill your order free of cha.ge should they prove
otherwise than as we represent them in our catalog. We
know of no responsible seed firm in the world which
guarantees seeds any further than this. Compare with
other seed catalogs and you will find that we are right.

JT is a pleasure to hand you our 1921 Seed Catalog. We want to thank
our friends and customers for their patronage. We assure you that
we will do our best to merit your confidence. To serve you with the
highest quality seeds is our greatest ambition. Our increased business
convinces us that our efforts have been appreciated.

The planting and development of seed is indeed a wonderful thing.
To put seeds into the ground, to watch them develop into a crop is one
of the most interesting things in life. There is only one way to insure
prosperous times and that is to increase production. Let bigger and bet-
ter crops be our motto.

We have a real interest in the growing and outcome of every pack-
age and pound of seed that we send out. Our large farms here in Steele
county make it possible for us to furnish seed that is not only home
grown and adapted to this section, but we know the quality of our seeds
as they are raised on ground tilled under our own supervision. We can
offer our seeds with the confidence that they will prove satisfactory to
our customers. Please write us freely about your seed requirements.

RUSTLER WHITE DENT CORN

EXTRA EARLY WHITE DENT.

Grown on Our Own Farms in Steele County.

Rustler White Dent. A splendid early variety, which will, in yield and quality, prove both satisfactory and
profitable to all northwestern farmers. This excellent variety has been grown in Steele County, Minn., for a number
of years and the results obtained by planting this good, reliable, high yielding White Dent Corn has made for it a
record of surpassing merit. We consider that it has the widest range of usefulness and adaptability to soil and climate
of any of the White Dent varieties. Admirably adapted to the northern regions and a soil that warms slowly. Its record
shows that from 60 to 80 bushels per acre has been the average yield. The ears are of medium length, 14 to 18 rowed.
Stalks are medium in height with abundance of foliage. We do not hesitate to recommend it and all those wishing a
first-class White Dent Corn will find the Rustler White Dent hard to match. Shipped by freight or express.

Shelled and graded, germination test 96 per cent, or better. Bags extra at cost. See Blue Sheet for Prices,

MINNESOTA No. 23

The Earliest Dent Com Grown — Grown on Oiu* Own Farms in Steele County

Minnesota No. 23 was originated by the Minnesota Experimental Station. The ears are 7 to 8 inches long, have
12 to 14 rows, kernels light yellow with white caps. The stalks grow about 6 feet, short jointed and heavy. Ears
medium length and very uniform, and are borne 2 to 2J4 feet above the ground. As there are generally two or more
ears on every stalk a good yield can be secured. From 40 to 50 bushels is the average yield, but even larger have been
secured. Minnesota No. 23 is an 80 day variety and will produce a good erop in the northern states in short unfavor-
able seasons. Shipped by freight or express.

MINNESOTA No. 13 CORN. (University).

EXTRA EARLY YELLOW DENT

Grown on Our Own Farms in Steele County.

CONLEY’S SOUTH DAKOTA DENT.

Minnesota No. 13 is an early maturing, yet heavy yielding variety, was developed and brought before the farmers of
i Minnesota by the Minnesota Experiment Station. This variety has been largely developed through the efforts of Asst.

: Sec'y Hays, U. S. Department of Agriculture. Minnesota No. 13 has a wide adaptability and will do well on almost
1 any hind of soil. It usually matures in from 90 to 95 days. Its records show yields of from 60 to 80 bushels per acre
in Minnesota. Our Minnesota No. 13 has been carefully bred, great care being taken in building up a type of corn
that is of practical value to the farmer. As a show corn it is hardly equal to Silver King as it lacks in uniformity.

Breed Characteristics. The ears are from 8 to 9 inches in length and cylindrical in form. The kernels are
fairly deep with a dimpled dent. They taper slightly and fit in closely to the cob, leaving very little space atthe,tip of
the kernel. In many varieties of corn we find a very thick cap of starch on the crown and also a strip of starch running
down the back of the kernel. This variety is exceptionally free from starch. In growing or selecting a variety of corn
you should look for a kernel with a high per cent of the clear horny substance as that is the portion of the kernel that
contains a high per cent of protein. You can grow starch much cheaper in other ways than in corn. This variety
i Bontains more of the clear horny gluten and the horny starch than any variety except the flint varieties. The butts are
{ usually well filled and the tips taper slightly, thus helping this variety to mature slightly earlier than some of the others.
We offer seed all our own growing. Shipped by freight or express.

Shelled and graded, germination test 96 per cent, or better. Bags extra at cost. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Conley’s South Dakota Dent is of South Dakota origin and is well adapted to the soil of northern South Da-
kota as well as western Minnesota and North Dakota. One of the first questions a farmer should ask in buying seed
corn should be, *‘Will it mature?'^’ The next one, “Will it yield?” In the breeding of this corn special attention
has been paid to these points. The seed that this corn was raised from was grown by Mr. Conley, at Revillo, South
Dakota. The large yields that he secured combined with its early ripening qualities led the writer to secure a quan-
tity of this corn to grow on our own farms for seed purposes. We have not a large stock of this variety but will fur-
nish it as long as it lasts.

Breeding Characteristics. Conley’s South Dakota Dent has a red kernel with yellowish cap; ears 8 to 9
inches in length, butts and tips usually well filled. It is very similar to the Northwestern Dent but is a larger corn
and yields much heavier. Northern planters can depend upon this variety getting ripe. The seed we have to offer
was grown under our own personal supervision. Shipped by express or freight.

CASHMAN’S SILVER KING CORN.

THE CORN YOU WILL EVENTUALLY BUY.

THE DEEPEST GRAINED AND PUREST WHITE CORN IN EXISTANCE FOR THE NORTHWEST.

Grown on Our Own Farms in Steele County.

Cashman’s Silver King is a pure white corn with medium sized ears. The butts and tips are well filled and
the shank medium in size. The grain is very deep for a corn that will mature so early. The kernel is medium in
width and has a slightly roughened dent. The tip of these kernels fit closely down to the cob» thus giving you a corn
of unusual shelling percentage. In many varieties you find starchy kernels that are low in feeding value and low in
vitality, but in this variety you find very little starchiness down the bach of the kernel. In uniformity and regularity of
kernel there is none better. In trueness to type this variety shows more breediness and uniformity than any seed corn
on the market today. There is not that irregularity of color of cob and grain that you find in many of the other varieties.
Now can you afford to pay 50 cents an acre more for perfect seed corn or take ibe risk of planting cheap oora aad
getting only half a crop. If seed corn was worth $20.00 per bushel it would be cheaper to plant such seed that to use
common corn that has been held over in corn cribs as a gift and run the risk of a poor yield. By buying perfect seed
the extra yield per acre will pay the difference in cost many times over. Matures in 100 to ilO days.

We have received many flattering testimonials showing that some of our customers have raised over 1(K) bushels
per acre from Silver King Corn purchased of us. We do not hesitate recommending this variety to those who wiH
give it good soil and careful cultivation. A trial will convince you.

Silver King is destined to become the leading corn in this state just as it has in Wisconsin. In yield, shelling
percentage and uniformity of type it has no equal. Shelled and graded, germination test 96 per cent, or better.

FLINT VARIETIES OF CORN.

i The flint varieties of corn are especially adapted to northern regions where the seasons are so short that it is im-

I possible to mature any of the dent varieties. Farmers are beginning to plant flint corn even in sections where dent
i matures in the average season. By planting flint corn the grower is assured of some corn at least. Flint corn is fully
i matured when heavier yielding dent varieties are not even dented. When fed early its objectionable quality of being
I hard and flinty will not be noted. Some varieties of flint corn yield just as well and even more than the extremely
early dent varieties. It is not necessary to hush corn for hogs. The hogs are turned into the field and the hogging
off method has been found to be very practical and successful with people who have tried it. Flint corn is especially
valuable for silage.

Breed Characteristics. Varieties; Mercer, Triumph, Smut Nose, King Philip and Longfellow. Ears

from 8 to 14 inches in length;” rows 8 to 12 in number; kernels very uniform and rows straight from butt to tip;
butts and tips well covered with kernels. The kernels of these varieties are very hard and flinty, but owing to the
shortness of seasons where it is grown it is necessary that kernels be very shallow or the corn will not mature sufficiently
for good fodder or silage. The above named flint varieties are not our own growing, except Triumph. Price, shelled
smd graded, germination test 96 per cent or better. See Blue Sheet for Prices. Bags extra at cost.

DRILL CORN.

We are offering the butts, tips and irregular kernels that grade out of our shelled corn for drill purposes and it
gives gocd satis|^ctiqn.__T_hese ve^ieties are of Cashman’s Silver King, Rustler White Dent, Cashman’s Yellow
Dent, Uncle Sam’s Yellow Dent, Minnesota No. 13, Minnesota No. 23 and Northwestern Dent. When
ordering, please state what variety. Price of those butts, tips and irregular kernels, guaranteed to test over 90 per cent,
all from our own growing and graded out of our best corn. See Blue Sheet for Prices. Bags extra at cost.

FODDER CORN.

Mammoth Yellow Fodder Com. Many of the farmers want corn to plant as a soiling crop or to cut early and
feed green. This corn is especially adapted to this plan. It gives you a large stock with an abundance of foliage. It
is surprising the amount of rich feed this variety yields and is relished by all stock. As a foliage crop for green feeding
it has no equal. This corn is often planted to raise a crop for silo purposes only. See Blue Sheet for Prices.
Bags extra at cost.

Clinton Mammoth Fodder Cora. White seed. The greatest of all fodder corn for feeding green. In prm
portion to the quality of leaf, this variety has an exceptionally small stalk. It throws out leaves from each joint and
the result is an increased yield of green fodder over any other known variety. Adapted to any section of the northweet.
See Blue Sheet for Prices. Bags extra at cost.

StowelTs Evergreen Sweet Fodder Cora. We regard this as one of the best and most valuable varieties
grown, being a most excellent variety to cut and throw out to live stock during the summer and fall months when grass
is dried up and pastures are short. As a green fodder fed in this way one acre will furnish as much feed as eight
acres of grass. The sweet, juicy stalks give it a flavor that makes stock like it as they like nothing else, and they will
devour the last vestage of the stalks and blades as clean as they would wipe up the best clover in the midst of winter.
Drill li to 2 bushels to the acre. See Blue Sheet for Prices. Bags extra at cost.

Don’t Buy Imported Ensilage or Fodder Corn.

In the past, many seed houses have been buying Fodder or Ensilage Seed Corn in the south, shipping it in and
selling it to farmers. They have led the farmers to believe that a southern corn that grows large stalks and lots of foliage
is just what they want. Don’^t pay any attention to that hind of an argument. If you want corn for fodder or silage you
must get the varieties that are usually used for checked corn and then you have something that will mature in your section
and will give you well matured corn for silage or fodder. The best fodder or silage is secured when the corn is per>
mitted to practically mature, that is, the kernels should be well dented and glazed. The more nearly mature the ears
and leaves can be without frost the better feed it is going to make. If it seems rather dry when you are filling the silo
it is a good plan to run several barrels of water into it, thus supplying moisture.

Some men claim that the foliage and the stalk, that is, the stalk and leaves without the ears, contain the same feed-
ing value as though the ears were in it. We quote from Prof. Eckles, head of the Dairy Dept, of the Missouri State
Agricultural College, in which he says: ** We want well matured corn with a reasonable amount of ears on it." The great
mistake in using the southern corn is the fact that the stalks grow very tall and the ears are late in maturing, then when
there is an early frost you have a lot of immature corn for fodder and silage. The more nearly mature the corn the better.

SEED WHEAT.

Seeds of Quality

Our Seed Wheat is grown from the most carefully selected stock, cleaned and put over a perfect system of grading
mills which insures uniformity and germination power. Like all other seeds, is tested before being sent out. We list
only those varieties that have yielded well for a series of years— varieties that have shown the greatest resistance to
unfavorable conditions and have made money for the grower. There is a much larger cost attached to the production
and preparation of High Grade Seed Wheat than anyone who has not had the experience could possibly apprecUte.
We believe our High Grade Seed Wheat will put you in the way of gaining larger profits from your present acreage^
and that is what every wheat grower desires because of the ever-increasing value of farm lands. ^

SPRING WHEAT.

Velvet Chaff. This is an extremely hardy bearded variety of wonderful productiveness,
generally yielding at least 10 bushels more per acre than other varieties of spring wheat. Its long
beards or spikelets, as well as its heavy chaff, protects it from fungous diseases, such as blight, rust
and smut. It is as hard and flinty as the Fife Wheat. No matter how unfavorable the circumstances are
Velvet Ghaff always produces a good yield and matures in 110 to 115 days. On account of its gieat
hardiness and productiveness no farmer should fail to sow at least half of his area intended for wheat
to Velvet Ghaff. The Minnesota Experiment Station reports a 14 year average yield of 26.7 bushels.

See Blue Sheet for Prices. Bags extra at cost.

MARQUIS WHEAT.

Marquis Wheat was originated by the late Dr. Saumbers at the Dominion Experimental
Farms, Ottawa, Ontario, by breeding together Red Fife and very early Indian Wheat and Red Gal-
cutta. By scientific breeding a variety was produced which had the remarkable earliness of the
Calcutta and the yielding qualities of the Red Fife.

Marquis wheat has carried off more prizes than any other variety in recent years. Farmers
everywhere appreciate earliness and what it means to the wheat grower at a time when rust, smut or
drouth may take his crop. It is from one week to ten days earlier than most of the early varieties.

This week or ten days may save his entire crop from loss. Marquis Wheat is a splendid yielder.

Reports throughout the Northwest indicate that Marquis Wheat will out-yield other varieties of spring
wheat from five to ten bushels per acre under the same conditions. It is similar in aprearance to
Red Fife, but the heads, as a rule, are heavier and the straw shorter, making it less likely to rust.

We do not hesitate to recommend Marquis Wheat above all other varieties for general planting.

Bags extra at cost. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Bearded Blue Stem. This splendid variety should really be known as Norwegian Blue Stem.

A small quantity was brought to this country by a farmer living in Stevens County, Minnesota, and
from there was imported to Steele County, Minnesota, by Mr. Carl Friske, about three years ago.

This variety has given such general satisfaction in this county that nearly everyone that can get the
seed will sow it next year. This variety of wheat is soft. It has yielded from one third to one half as
much again as any variety of hard wheat grown in this section. So far it has proven to be a strong
resister of rust. It seems to be so thoroughly adapted to this climate and conditions that it is a safe
variety to sow in large quantities. We have a small quantity of this variety grown on our own lands.

On account of the heavy demand we anticipate this year, customers are reminded that early buyers*
will be less liable to disappointment. For Prices see Blue Sheet. Bags extra at cost.

WINTER WHEAT.

Turkey Red. The yield of winter wheat is very much larger per acre than any of the spring
wheats. The past season has demonstrated the fact that winter wheat has been more extensively grown
in Minnesota and the Dakotas. In the past few years there has been an increased demand for the Marquis

Turkey Red. It is a very early variety, ripening before rust, blight, or insects appear in the fields. Wheat
Many Minnesota farmers have secured as high as 35 bushels per acre. In quality it is the only
winter wheat that equals the No. 1 Hard Fife spring wheat and is much sought by the millers, to whom it is well
known. It is a bearded variety and produces long heads. The kernels are red with a very thin hush, are hard and
flinty and very rich in gluten. Turkey Red has a very stiff straw and will stand up in wind and rain which would lodge
other varieties badly. We suggest that you send in your orders early so we can set aside the required amount and
ship it at the proper time next fall. See Blue Sheet for Bags extra at cost.

Minnesota Grown Oats

We are confining ourselves to five varieties of oats that have given the best results and are the best suited to the
corn belt and especially to Southern Minnesota. We recommend such varieties as the Yellow Kherson and more es-
pecially to the farmer who wants to sow grass seed with it. These oats rarely lodge in the richest soil and this is an
assurance that the small young grass will not be killed or smothered out when serious storms come that would beat down
the larger growing oats. The Iowa No. 103 is also a good variety to sow. Both of these varieties are earlier and safer
to plant than the later kinds. Such varieties as Swedish Select and Regenerated Swedish Select should only be used
when sown with wheat. As a rule they will not yield anywhere near as much as the Kherson or the Iowa 103.
We grow a large acreage of oats and we have found by growing different varieties over a period of years that there is
no variety so satisfactory as the Yellow Kherson. Our stock of oats are Steele County grown, carefully selected, re-
cleaned and graded. We feel certain that no better oats can be had than we offer.

KHERSON OATS

Kherson Oats

A yariety giving exceptionally good results. To produce well in any section
oats should mature early, before the hot, dry season sets in and should not run to
straw. These two requirements are combined to a remarkable degree in this sort.
The Kherson is an early oat which is a great point in it s favor. It will mature in
60 to 70 days and get out of the way of blight and rust. It is a vigorous, hardy,
but not a rank grower. The leaves are broad, exposing a large surface, while the
straw is fine and stiff and because of the broad leaves it is almost equal to hay for
for feeding. The berries are light yellow in color, small but veiy numerous and
have a thin hull. The oats are exceptionally heavy, in which respect as well as in
yield per acre, they have surpassed "most all other varieties. In several tests made
by experinent stations it was found that Kherson ranked higher than any other var-
iety in the proportion of grain to kernel. The highest per cent recorded was 78.07
while the lowest was 54.86. The average of
12 samples showed 73.03 per cent of kernel,
while 39 samples of other varieties showed
69.02 per cent. On this basis where feeding
oats are worth 50 cents the Kherson is worth
53 cents. While Kherson has not been tested
throughout the entire oat growing area they have
been distributed widely enough to give an idea
of their adaptability. We have grown this
variety on our farms for several years and they
have produced from 50 to 75 bushels per acre
every year. If the land is rich bu. of seed
per acre will produce an abundant crop and not
lodge. See Blue Sheet for Prices. Bags
extra at cost.

ROOSEVELT OATS.

This new variety of oats has attracted con-
siderable attention among the grain growers of
the Northwest. Farmers who have tried this
variety have been surprised at the wonderful
success achieved. It is a strong plant having
a powerful root system and seems to do well
throughout the oat growing section, thriving on
cold, poor soils better than any other variety
of oats known. The straw is renowned for its
stiffness and resistance against lodging. The
Roosevelt is a medium early variety, ripening
before such varietses as Swedish Select and
Swedish Regenerated. It can be grown with
Velvet Chaff and Marquis wheat as succotash.

See Blue Sheet for Prices. Bags extra at
cost.

IOWA No. 103

Iowa No. 103 Oats were originated by the
Iowa Experiment Station. This very popular
variety is considered one of the very best yield-
ers in the central west. It'is similar to Kherson Oat, having
a very thin hull; straw grows short like the Kherson, it is a
splendid variety for rich ground. If proper amount of seed
is sown per acre it will nob lodge. You will make no mistake
in purchasing this W^riety, See Blue Sheet for Prices.

SEED OATS.

OATS,

American Grown.

IMPROVED LATE VARIETIES.

FAUS

This variety was originated by the
Garton Seed Go. of England, Scientific
Breeders of Pedigreed Gereals, and was intro-
duced into America a few years ago.

It is the heaviest yielding and largest grained

oats in America. Medium early; grains large,
plump and white; hull thin; medium in length and strong.

The Swedish Select Oats (original stock) was first introduced in this country
about 15 years ago, where its success at first was phenomenal; but years of careless
handling had reduced its vitality until crops grown from the original stock were not
any better than the native varieties.

To bring this oat back to its original state of productiveness a system of
regeneration has been used. The infusion of this new blood has increased the
yield at least 25 per cent above that of the original stock under precisely the same
conditions.

In sowing this oat it is necessary that your drill be set to sow at least three
bushels per acre, owing to the fact that the grain is much larger than the other
varieties of 'bats.

We have secured a stock of this pedigreed seed and we are now in a position
to offer the pure, genuine seed at reasonable prices. You can make no mistake in
buying these oats. Place your order early before the stock is exhausted. See
Blue Sheet for Prices. Bags extra at cost.

IMPROVED SWEDISH SELECT, (Wisconsin No. 4).

The Wisconsin Station secured some of this oats and, with a number of other varieties,
made tests as to yield and quality. Prof. Moore pronounced this oat one
of the best of the varieties tested. It produced more bushels per acre during
four years than any of the other varieties. Golor, pure white; kernel, plump,
short and thick; hull, thin; medium early; straw, large and stiff; root develop-

SEED BARLEY. |

Oderbrucker or Wisconsin No. 55. The Wisconsin Experiment Station received from the Ontario Agriculturaw
College, barley known as Oderbrucker. Through tests that have been carried on in comparison with 25 other varieties^!
it has proven the most satisfactory barley from all points of view grown on the station farm. It being one of the staple!
crops, the State Experiment Station has given particular attention to the breeding of barley to obtain big yields.?
Oderbrucker is considered the best variety of barley sent out by the Wisconsin Station and for stiffness of straw and^
rust resistance it is superior to any variety on test. The uniformity in color and quality is a very important matter.*^
Oderbrucker is a stiff-strawed, heavy yielding, six-rowed, bearded variety. It is early, grows vigorous and strong,;
bearing long, well filled heads of exceptionally plump kernels and weighs more to the measured bushel than other sorts* t
It has protein contents of 15 per cent, or nearly twice the amount found in many other varieties, making it a very'
valuable feeding barley and also one of the best for malting purposes. In fact, it will be found satisfaciory in every
respect and is, without question, worth millions of dollars to the farmers of the northwest. Its many good qualities
place Oderbrucker Barley absolutely in the front rank. Every farmer who reads this catalog should order early and
get enough of this seed to sow all the land he can spare to barley* See Blue Sheet for Prices. Bags exira at cost

Minnesota or University No. 105. During the past few years the Minnesota Experiment Station has been
breeding a new and improved six-rowed barley that is particularly adapted to Minnesota and the northwest. It has
given the highest record for yield throughout the northwest. The average yield for 9 years on the Minnesota Experiment
Farm has been 53 bushsls per acre. It is early, uniform and pure, with a very large, plump, bright berry. See
Blue Sheet for Prices. Bags extra at cost.

Black Hulless. This variety is becoming very popular with feeders and yields as high as 70 bushels per
acre and makes excellent feed. It weighs as heavy as wheat, if not heavier, and can be grovn on soil that would not
produce a good crop of ordinary barley or oats. No other grain fed in the ground form is as nourishing and produces
as much milk as Black Barley. It is also valuable for fattening hogs. This vartety does well in drouth stricken sec-
tions. The g»-ain is hulless. We strongly urge that you try this barley out. Our stock is very small but we will be
glad to furnish it while it lasts. See Blue Sheet for Prices. Bags extra at cost.

SPELTZ OR EMMER.

Speltz is becoming more popular every year and each succeeding season not only emphasizes its value, but sees its
production increasing to an enormous extent. It always produces good crops, even under adverse circumstances where :
other grains fail. Speltz is a good drought resister and can be grown on most any hind of soil, rich or poor, wet or
dry, and will always bring the best returns. Prof. Shepard of the South Dakota Experiment Station says: “It is

readily eaten by all kinds of stock and has shown itself to be especially adapted when fed to milch cows. It is better
to mix it, however, with bran and shorts, as it is a pretty heavy food when fed alone. As a swine feed we think very
well of it indeed, especially for brood sows.” Those who have not grown Speltz should not let another season go by
without giving it a place, and a prominent place, too, on their farms. Should be sown early in the spring. This can i
safely be done as it is not easily harmed by frosts and also resists early and severe frosts. Sow two bushels to the acre* I

This Field of Russian Flax Yielded Twenty Bushels to the Acre.

Minnesota No. 25 or Primost. This new pure-bred flax was selected from a variety which was secured by the
Minnesota Experiment Station from the United States Deparment of Agriculture. Numerous individual plants were
selected from abed of this flax, some with heavy bushy tops to be used for larger yield of seed, others with tall, slender
stems for fiber. Each of these selected mother plants were grown in the nursery at the Station for several years, and
the resulting varieties from them were so promising that they were increased and put into the field variety test plots
where they were grown for three years. The best of these stalks selected for seed is the Minnesota No. 25 and named
Primost. and its record in the field tests at the Minnesota Experiment Station shows that it has given increased yields
26 per cent more per acre than common flax under the same conditions. At present it is the only pedigreed flax that
we can recommend to growers of Minnesota, North and South Dakota. It is not only high in yield but it is largely
wilt resisting. We do not claim it to be wilt proof as some dealers do. but it has been demonstrated repeatedly that
its non-wilting qualities are remarkable. There is no doubt that this is the champion flax of the Northwest. See

RYE

Spring Rye. Makes an excellent catch crop where winter grain has been killed out or for sowing where a fall
crop has been planted. If desired it can be turned under and made to answer a good purpose in adding to the fertility
of the soil. It can be sown later than spring grain. Does not grow quite as large straw as Winter Rye but usually
yields equally as well and grain is of finer quality. We now offer an extra fine grade of genuine, true stock. Spring

BUCKWHEAT.

Silver Hull. A decided improvement on the old black or gray varieties. It is earlier, in bloom longer, matures
its crop sooner and yields twice as much as the ordinary sorts. The grain is of light gray color, large and thin shell-

Cashman's Alfalfa.

Alfalfa is a crop of inestimable value. It may be cut three or four times a season, each cutting
bringing an enormous yield of sweet, nutritious forage much relished by all kinds of stock. It is an ex-
cellent soiling crop and makes the very best of hay. Alfalfa comes the closest to being a perfect ration
of any farm crop grown. The seed should be sown broadcast at the rate of from 15 to 20 pounds to
the acre. Seeding can be done about the middle of April or earlier depending upon the spring. The
best method of seeding Alfalfa is to seed it without a nurse crop. The ground should be cultivated
intensely until the latter part of July or the first of August. The seed should then be put into the
ground. The soil must be deep, rich, well drained and the seed bed well prepared. The seed should
never be sown on cold, sticky, clay land where water stands a short distance below the surface. As
a fertilizer Alfalfa is unsurpassed. Like all the clover family it is a great nitrogen gatherer. It should
[be seeded on every farm in the Northwest.

A Field of Grimm Alfalfa which has netted an average of $140.00 an acre for the past three years.

Grimm Alfalfa is considered the hardiest of the Alfalfa family due to its branching or lateral root
system, It was introduced by Mr. Wendelin Grimm, of Carver County, Minnesota, over thirty years
ago and has sufficiently proved its hardiness to withstand the extremes of our rigorous climate. Exten-
sive experiments have been carried on by the Government Experiment Stations and it has been thor-
oughly tried throughout the Dakotas, Montana and Minnesota and was found to stand the extremes of
heat and cold as well as drouth, Grimm Alfalfa shows a greater diversity in flower color than prevails
in the common Alfalfa. I wish it were possible that our customers could pay a visit to our Grimm Al-
falfa fields and see what we have accomplished in the last four years in growing this variety. Each
year we have harvested three mammoth crops of Alfalfa hay. Three years ago when Medium Red
Clover and other varieties af Alfalfa winter killed the Grimm came through fine. We have gone to a
considerable trouble and expense to be sure that we are getting the genuine Grimm. We have a good
stock of this variety on hand but would advise ordering early. See Blue Sheet for Prices, Bags extra.

Montana Hardy. This stock is a very excellent lot of the blue flowered type and is grown near the Canadian
boundry in the state of Montana. The Alfalfa plant seems to produce an abundance of seed in that state. Our seed
is obtained in those sections where plants have endured the extreme cold of winter and thrive at high altitudes. Our
experience of several years has demonstrated the superiority of this seed grown under adverse climatic conditions
throughout the northwest. The demand for our Montana Hardy Alfalfa is rapidly increasing. See Blue Sheet for

Dakota Grown Alfalfa. South Dakota has been producing crops of alfalfa for over forty years and it has be-
come a big thing for that state. South Dakota" Alfalfa is very generally sown throughout the Northwest. It compares
very favorably with the Montana Hardy and by some is considered better. We do not hesitate to recommend it. See-

EXTRA RECLEANED CLOVER AND GRASS SEED.

Mowing Medium Red Clover on one of the Cashman Farms. Medium Red Clover is second only to corn as

Minnesota's Greatest Crop.

Medium Red Clover. (Trifolium Pratense). This is regarded as the most valuable of the clover family. It si
sometimes called June Glover and is a dependable all-around variety for farmers and stockmen. It makes two crops
each year. The first is usually cut when in bloom for hay; the last crop may be harvested for seed, cut for hay or
plowed under to add to the fertility of the soil. It may be sown either in spring or autumn; spring preferable, and if
no other grasses are used, sow at the rate of from 8 to 10 pounds to the acre according to the quality of seed used and
condition of the soil. Glover adds greatly to the fertility of the land on which it is grown. It does not exhaust the soil
but enriches it. It has been demonstrated time and again that crops following a growth of clover are larger and of better
quality. The small nodules or bacteria which cling to the roots draw the nitrogen from the air and store in the soil
where it can be drawn upon by subsequent crops. It will repay every farmer to sow Red clover and plenty of it. Our
seeds are selected and tested with special reference to quality. Purchasers may rely upon our best efforts to furnish
clover and other seeds, pure and free from noxious foreign seeds. Our prices are as low as any reliable seedsman
can sell such clover and grass seeds. Our Minnesota grown clover seed, with which we have been supplying our cus-
tomers, is the best in the world and is known for its purity, vitality and vigorous growth, as well as its wonderful
productiveness. See Blue Sheet for Prices. Bags extra at cost.

Mammoth Red Clover. Bags extra at cost. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Alsyke or Swedish Clover. (Tryfolium Hibridum). A hardy clover and unexcelled for hay. We cannot
too strongly recommend it to our customers. Repeated tests have proven that it has a higher percentage of feeding
value than any other clover. It has also been observed that when Alsyke and Medium Glover are fed together, stock
will invariably separate it, eating all of the Alsyke and leaving part of the Medium Glover. It yields an enormous
quantity of hay or pasture, producing a good crop the first year and every year thereafter; the fields really improving each
season. It is very valuable for sowing with other grasses as it forms a thick bottom and greatly increases the yield of
hay, but its greatest value is for sowing on the low bottom lands where the red clover would freeze out and be injured
by the heaving of the soil. It also adapts itself to high upland soils and withstands drouth well. Especially valuable
for meadows. The hay is finer than any other, therefore of special value for sowing with timothy. Has a fiberous

White Clover. (Trifolium Repens). This is equally common with the
red, and often forms a very considerable portion of the sward or turf of pastures
and fields of a tenacious and moist soil. It easily accommodates itself to a great
variety of soils, but grows more luxuriantly in moist grounds and moist or wet
seasons. The seed is very fine and if sown by itself, about 5 pounds are suffi-
cient for one acre. It should, however, never be sown alone, but is used mainly
for sowing in mixtures with other grass seed, especially blue grass, to obtain
permanent pastures. Very desirable for sowing on terraces and sloping grounds.

SWEET CLOVER, White Blossom.

Melilotus Alba or Bokhara.

Formerly this plant was thought to be a weed and of no value, but recent experimental work has proven that it is
extremely valuable as a foliage plant. The great point in favor of it is its hardiness. It will grow in most any place,
on any kind of land and will produce 5 to 7 tons per acre. It is sometimes difficult to get stock to eat it at first, but
when once started they relish it and will make very rapid gains when Sweet Glover is used as a roughage. In fact,
numerous cases are on record where it has produced gains at less cost than alfalfa or clover. When grown for hay one

crop and sometimes two may be cut the first season. The second year two or
three crops may be cut. It should be cut Just before it commences to blossom,
and before the stems become hard and woody, as it is tall growing and stools
freely. The yield of green foliage is tremendous. Sweet Glover is a biennial,
that is, it lives but two years. After the second year the tops and roots die.
If you do not allow the plants to go to seed it may be easily controlled. When
the plants die they add to the soil immense quantities of nitrogen and humus,
restoring old, worn out lands to good condition. Sweet Glover has the same
bectaria as alfalfa, therefore prepares the way for that crop. If you desire a
permanent field of Sweet Glover the second crop may be allowed to go to seed
and there will be a splendid start the following year. Gattle fed upon Sweet
Glover will not bloat. Sow 10 to 12 pounds per acre. You should try 2 or 3
acres of this clover; you cannot make a mistake by doing it. Always sow the
white. See Blue Sheet for Prices. Bags extra at cost.

TIMOTHY.

Phloum Pratense.

Cashman Brand. Timothy is so well known it needs but little descrip-
tion. There is scarcely a variety of natural or tame grass that is more generally
cultivated than this as a crop for hay. It yields more nutritive matter than any
other grass or forage plant. If cut in season, just before flowering, it makes a
most splendid hay, and it is also well adapted to early spring grazing as it starts
up quickly in the spring. In favorable fall weather it can be pastured in the
autumn as well. However, Timothy is not well suited for permanent pasture as
it will, in the course of a few years, run out. Its growth is not thrifty enough
to overcome the ill efl^ects produced from close pasturing. The most important
point in growing Timothy is the selection of good" seed. Poor seed, besides containing weed seed, will not grow.
That which does not germinate is week and produces few stalks and seed heads. A field grown from our Gashman
Brand Timothy, which is carefully selected, pure and clean, is worth a thousand times more than Timothy produced
from an inferior grade of cheap seed. Only 10 pounds of our seed is required to the acre when sown alone. See
Blue Sheet for prices* Bags extra at cost.

RED TOP, (Solid Seed).

Argrostis Vulgaris.

Cashman Brand. A very hardy native perennial grass and well adapted to the northern states. Adapts itself t«
any soil, but produces best results on moist, rich soils, where it grows from 2 to 2^ feet high. It is a good variety to
sow with timothy and clover for meadow or pasture and is more permanent than either of the other two. It remains green
the greater part of the year, and its long, trailing stems form a very close, matting turf , that is not affected by trampling.
It can be successfully grown on alkali land when other grasses fail. Red Top is also known as Herbs Grass and should
be more extensively grown, especially in combination with other grasses. Only 10 pounds of our Gashman Brand re.
quired to the acre. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS.

Poa Pratensis.

Cashman Brand. This makes the best, sweetest pasture and the most nutritious for all
kinds of stock. It is the grass that made Kentucky famous for its Blue Grass pastures. It is
now possible to establish on every farm in Minnesota a Blue Grass pasture of greenest verdure
which will give profitable returns. This grass is the first to start up in the spring and remains
green until snow flies in the fall. It is very hardy and is uninjured by cold or dry weather,
hot sun or trampling of hoofs. The roots are so thick and stout as to form a tough sod. It is
excellent for sowing with grass mixtures and other grasses and will do well on almost any land.

From 25 to 30 pounds of Gashman Brand seed required to the acre if sown alone. See Blue
Sheet for Prices. Bags extra at cost.

ORCHARD GRASS.

Dactylis Glomerata.

Cashman Brand. This is one of the most valuable grasses known
for pasture or meadow mixtures on account of its earliness and its
rapidity of growth. It is very hardy and succeeds well anywhere in
the United States. It furnishes the first green bite in the spring and
the last in the fall. It is quick to recover from close cropping and in
10 to 12 days is ready for grazing again and is relished by all kinds

green. It flowers about the same as red clover and makes a splendid mixture with it. It
should not be sown with timothy for being three weeks earlier, it becomes pithy if allowed to
stand until the timothy is ready to cut. It is inclined to grow in tufts and should therefore have
other grasses sown with it. It is well suited for shady places, such as orchards and groves.
Grows on any land but does best on sandy loam or clay soil. Sow 22 lbs. to the acre when
Sown alone. See Blue Sheet for Prices. Bags extra at cost.

BROMUS INERMIS.

Bromus Inermis is a strong, healthy, hardy perennial with strong root stocks, smoth, up-
right, leafy stems. It grows from one to four feet in height and has seed heads from four to
eight inches long. It withstands the extremes of drouth, heat and cold better than any other
tame grass and in a very few years forms a very tough sod crowding out all other growth. It
will succeed where timothy, clover and alfalfa will fail. All kinds of stock eat it and it is
found to be more palatable than timothy. It starts early in the spring and grows until late in
the fall, making excellent early and late feed. The yield of hay from Bromus Inermis varies
from two to four ton per acre, depending upon climatic conditions and fertility of soil. In or-
der to obtain the best hay the grass should be cut at the time of full bloom. See Blue

RAPE.

Dwarf Essex. Probably no other
variety of Rape has jumped into favor so
quickly with farmers everywhere as Dwarf
Essex. It is successfully grown in every
state in the union. It has usually been
grown, until recent years, to furnish
pasture for sheep and lambs, but is now
found to be equally good in providing
pasture for all hinds of stock, and especi-
ally fitted for sheep, cattle and swine.

Rape can be sown in the following ways,
viz: 1. In the early spring to provide

pasture for sheep and swine. 2. In June
or July, on well prepared land, to provide
pasture for sheep. 3. Along with wheat,
barley or rye, using 1 to 2 pounds per
acre, to provide pasture for sheep after
harvest. 4. Along with peas, oats and clover, to provide pasture and to get a catch of clover. 5. As a cover in the
orchard for root protection in winter. 6. In corn, when cultivated the last time. 7. Along with rye in August for
sheep pasture. 8. To plow under as a green crop, adding humus to the soil. Unlike other plants, it can be sown at
any time during spring and summer, up to August 1st. A good crop will furnish at least 12 tons of green feed and its
nutritious value is nearly twice that of clover per acre. One acre of this variety will furnish pasture for 10 to 20 sheep
for two months, fattening them in good form for market. Dwarf Essex Rape thrives best on good soil, rich in vegetable
matter. A succession of planting provides rich, succulent feed all season. The flower of Dwarf Essex Rape is almost
identical to mustard and is often taken as such. On close examination, however, the Rape flower is light yellow and
nearly one-half inch in diameter. The Dwarf Essex is the only variety we handle. We pay a premium for all our
seed in order to get the purest, cleanest and best, and it has always given our customers the best satisfaction. We do
not feel justified in taking the risk of sending out unknown seed at a small saving, nor do we feel that our patrons can
afford to buy unknown seed at a saving of a cent or two per pound when known seed, seed that is proven good and re-
liable, can be secured at so little difference in cost. We want you to order your seed from us this season and be
assured of getting the best in quality and best in price. When Rape is sown broadcast, 5 pounds of seed per acre is
sufficient. When sown in rows 30 inches apart, and cultivated, from 2 to 3 pounds per acre will suffice. The more
you plant the better pleased you will be. See Blue Sheet for Prices. Bags extra at cost.

MILLET.

Golden Millet. This Millet occasionally makes a taller, ranker growth and produces a
greater weight of hay per acre than the Kursk under favorable conditions. On good, rich soil
it will make a growth 4 to 5 feet high, and although the hay may seem coarse, yet it is so
tender that if cut at the right stage, or when it is in full bloom, even the hogs will eat the cured
hay quite greedily. A yield of 3 to 5 tons per acre is not unusual. Sow 3 pecks per acre.
Our Golden Millet is clean and good. See Blue Sheet for Prices. Bags extra at cost.

Siberian Millet. Millet should be sown regularly every year, and by sowing a few
acres of our Siberian Millet the stock raiser, dairy farmer and poultryman will find it to be
a most valuable and profitable crop. Of great feeding value and milk producing qualities.
It yields at least again as much of the most delicious hay per acre as timothy and clover. When
spring is so unfavorable that other crops fail to grow, or when the season is so late and wet
that they will not mature, then there is always the greatest demand for Millet. Our Siberian has
made good. This variety has been grown at the South Dakota Experiment Station every year
since it was introduced from Kursk, Russia. It has given excellent satisfaction during the
whole time and in dry seasons the weight and quality of hay has been far ahead of other varietes.
In dry sections we do not think Golden Millet can compare with the Siberian, and it will yield
from 8 to 10 bushels per acre more on high soil. We have an excellent stock of nice, clean
Siberian Millet this year. A trial will convince you. See Blue Sheet for Prices. Bags

Japanese Millet. We consider this one of the most valuable in our long list of forage
plants. It has been misrepresented and sold under such names as “Billion Dollar Grass,”
‘^Steel Trust Millet,^’ etc. This variety was first grown in this country by Prof. Brooks of
the Massachusetts Agricultural Gollege, who brought it from Japan. It has proven to be
exceptionally valuable and we recommend it for the following reasons: It makes more hay than

any other millet. Although it grows so large, sometimes 6 to 8 feet high, the hay is of the
most excellent quality, superior to corn fodder. It is adapted to all sections and is a great
success wherever tried. It does well on low ground. Two crops can be cut from it in one
season, or if left to ripen, it will yield almost as many bushels of seed per acre as oats. It
requires less seed per acre than any other millet, 20 to 30 pounds being sufficient. It makes
find soilage and is relished by all hinds of stock. It may be siloed, fed green or cured into
hay. Be sure and order some of this millet of us this season. We know it will please you.

Hungarian Millet. This variety, in our opinion, is one of the very best of millets. No other variety is so well
known and so much grown for hay. It is especially valuable on account of its requiring such short seasons to make a
fine crop of the most nourishing and milk-producing hay. For this reason it is much used as a catch crop. When sown
as late as the 4th of July good results, in ordinary seasons, can be depended upon. It is much used for following such
I crops as early potatoes and barley for a crop of hay, thus giving two crops on the same land in one year. Hungarian
Millet does not grow so coarse as some other varieties, but still yields quite heavily, from 2 to 4 tons of hay to the acre
being an ordinary crop. Hay is quite leafy, of best quality, and greedily eaten by all stock. For hay, sow 3 pecks
per acre. See Blue Sheet for. Prices. Bags extra at cost.

Hog or Broom Corn Millet. Of great value for feeding hogs. It yields enormously ol seed, even 60 to 70
bushels to the acre. This seed is very advantageously used for fattening swine and other stock, and is of special value
for this purpose in sections where corn cannot be safely or cheaply grown. This seed also makes very fine feed for
poultry and young chicks. In 50 to 60 days from the time of sowing it is ready to harvest. The seed ripens while the
fodder s green, therefore, it can be cut and used both for hay and seed with the best results. This variety is unlike
the Ge;man or Hungarian Millets in habit of growth, having a branching head, while the seed is glossy and much
larger. See Blue Sheet for Prices. Bags extr^ at cost.

FIELD PEAS.

Canadian White. “As peas can be made to bring more nitrogen
to the soil of this country every year than is now purchased annually by
farmers at a cost of millions of dollars.” — Year book of the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture. This statement, coming as it does from a reliable
source, gives the progressive farmer of this great northwest something to
I think about. Grain has been grown year after year_on some farms, sapping
the life and fertility of the soil. Here is a crop which is not only profit-
able 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 conditions of soil or climate. There is always a ready
market for peas, or they can be profitably ground and fed to stock. The
vines make rich, nutritious hay. If fed to milch cows when in green state,
pods, vines and all, the flow of milk will be almost doubled. Field Peas
are a paying crop and can be profitable planted in many ways. 1st, when
sown alone, about 3 bushels are required tdthe acre. They can be allowed
to mature and threshed when dry. The yield varies from 30 to 60 bushels
per acre. 2nd, peas and early oats are frequently sown together, using
bushels of peas and 2 bushels of early oats per acre. By so doing a
double crop can be secured. , They can be harvested together and threshed
at the same time and easily separated in cleaning. 3rd, they can be sown
alone and fed green. It is surprising the amount of fodder which is pro-
duced in this way. If oats are sown with peas, the peas should be sown
first and plowed under about 3^ inches deep; the oats then drilled in. 4th, for plowing under when peas and oats are
sown together and in milk, they are equal in value to clover used in the same way to enrich the soil. Try some of our
Field Peas. See Blue Sheet for Prices. Bags extra at cost.

COW PEAS.

Whippoorwill. Gow Peas furnish a good pasture for cattle, sheep ana swine and may also be used as soiling
for hay, but for the two purposes last named it is a little difficult to handle. It has great power to enrich the land by
putting in nitrogen drawn from the air, and since it may be grown as a catch crop, an
immense future lies before it in enriching the soil. When pastured by cattle, the early
pods should be well formed before turning in the stock. When pastured by swine, the
crop should be allowed to get nearly ripe. When plowed under as a fertilizer, the plowing
should be done when the plants are in full bloom. But even when pastured by cattle and
some of the product is- rejected as food, the part thus rejected is very helpful to the soil.
The MO^hippoorwill produces more vines than other varieties and is best adapted for soil-
ing. Is northern grown and acclimated. Best and most popular sorts for all climates.

Minnesota Early Amber Cane. This is the earliest, richest and altogether the best
variety for northern latitudes, and is the only one that can be relied upon for sugar syrup
in Minnesota, ft produces a rich, clear syrup for which Minnesota has become famous,
yielding from 150 to 200 gallons per acre. As a fodder plant it excels the southern cane as
it is sweeter, contains more nutriment and , is more relished by stock. We earnestly urge
upon farmers throughout the northwest the importance of growing Sorghum. As a soiling
crop it will always prove valuable because at least two crops can be raised from one sowing.
It is excellent for milch cows and as a pasture crop for cattle, sheep and hogs it has no
equal, also as a forage crop. May be sown any time from May 1st to July 1st, and can
be grown on the poorest land and thinnest soil. Sow 15 pounds per acre in drills and 50
to 60 pounds per acre broadcast. Grows tall and leafy. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

SOY OR SOJA BEANS.

Early Wisconsin Blacks. Northern grown, valuable for silage or hay. also for hog and sheep pasture. Like
clover they are great soil enrichers. gathering nitrogen from the air and storing it in the soil. Tests show that they
may be grown wherever corn will ripen. They can be planted right with the corn with no extra work and the corn
will be a better crop for having them with it. You get two crops on one field and enrich the soil at the same time.
When grown for hay plant the rows closer together or sow broadcast at the rate of thirty-five pounds to the acre- We
cosider the Early Wisconsin Blacks the best variety. We offer seed that has been grown and ripened on our own
Farms but have only a limited supply. Order early. See Blue Sheet for Prices. ^ Bags extra at cost.

Brown Chestnut Soy Bean. We secured a small seed stock of this variety from the Minnesota State Farm this
past spring. The results are we have a small stock of these beans to offer our friends this year. The Early Wiscon-
sin Blacks have been considered the best soy bean for the corn belt yet grown. There has been only one objection to
it. that is. it did not grow as tall as is desirable. The Chestnut seems to produce equally as many beans and at the
same time the stalks grow taller which makes it possible for the corn binder to secure most all of the beans as well as
the forage when cut for ensilage. We believe the Brown Chestnut has a great future.

We are pleased to furnish these home grown beans as long as they last. See Blue
Sheet for prices. Bags extra at cost.

KAFFIR CORN.

White Kaffir Com. It is a fine fodder plant, growing from 5 to 6 feet high.

Has a stalky stem with large wide leaves. Stalks keep green and are brittle and juicy*
not hardening like other varieties of sorghum, making excellent fodder either green or
dried, which is highly relished by cattle, horses and all kinds of stock. The seed
heads form at the top of each stalk, and as soon as these show the grain well at the
Joints below, the top sends up shoots which yield the second seed heads. For grain
sow in rows 3 feet apart, 5 pounds of seed to the acre. For fodder sow 30 to 60
lbs., either broadcast or in drills.

SUNFLOWER, Mammoth Russian.

Only those who have tried it realize what an important crop the Sunflower proves
to the poultry and hog raiser. Single heads measure from 12 to 22 inches in diameter
aind contain an immense amount of seed, which is highly valued by all farmers and

poultry raisers as an excellent and
cheap food for fowls. It is also very

fattening and contains a very high percentage of protein- The poultry-
man well knows the egg producing properties of Sunflower seed.
Every farmer should plant some of this seed in any waste piece of
ground he may have any time from early spring to June. Besides the
great value of the seed, as poultry and stock food, its leaves make
capital fodder, while the strong, thick stalks can be profitably used as
fuel. In feeding both poultry and hogs all that is necessary is to
allow them to help themselves. Sow the seed in rows, far enough
apart to allow cultivation- Three pounds will sow an acre. See
Blue Sheet for Prices.

Seeds of Quality

Northern Grown Seed Potatoes.

To secure the best possible yields, combined with the best quality, there is no crop grown that a change of seed
is so essential as in seed potatoes. Our stock is grown exclusively in the Red River Valley of the North. “Red
River“ stock always commands a premium over potatoes produced elsewhere. No seed potato can be compared with
those grown in the north, either for vigor and freedom from disease, or for producing and long keeping qualities.
There is profit as well as satisfactioji in planting our seed, for, not only is it pure and true to name, but the additional
yield to be secured from a change of seed, will, every time, fully pay for the seed itself, so that the investment itself is
practically nothing. To grow a large stock of big, fine, healthy tubers will not cost any more than to grow a small crop
of small, poor potatoes which are hardly marketable at any price. Our northern grown seed insures a vigorous growth,
an early maturity and the largest crops of the finest quality and best fiavored potatoes that can be grown. Every year
there are many new varieties introduced and sold at high prices, and yet there are not to exceed 10 or 12 standard and
well known sorts on the market today, and among these are such varieties as the Improved Extra Early Ohio, Early Triumph
or Six Weeks, Rural New Yorker, Carman No. 3, etc. In purchasing seed from us the grower is taking no chances.
We use every precaution before sending out seed to our customers. They are thoroughly tested by our experts in this
line and must have their approval as to germinating qualities; must be clean, healthy and free from scab. “Quality
Counts,*’ and we know that our stock of will not only make gold dollars for the grower, but will please him beyond
question. Potatoes will be shipped by express or freight, (purchaser paying charges) and at any time specified by the
purchaser, but where no special instructions are given to the contrary, we will hold all orders for potatoes until, in
our judgment, there will be no danger from freezing. The railroads furnish us refrigerator service for early shipments.
We usually begin shipping south about February 15th and they are forwarded strictly at purchaser’s risk. We pack
them carefully and deliver to the railroad or express company in good order. Here our responsibility ceases. When
wanted in large quantities write for special prices.

Improved Extra Early Ohio.

Our special stock is the handsomest,
smoothest and best flavored potato in
the world. As early as the earliest
and better than the best. Never in
the history of the potatoworld has there
been such an enormous yielding extra
early variety introduced. No matter
how many new varieties are annually
brought to the attention of the grower
the Improved Extra Early Ohio holds
its place at the head of them all. As
modest as we are we cannot restrain
our enthusiasm. It is^^ibsolutely the
finest early potato on the market.

No other early variety is as profitable
and it is a special favorite with
all market gardeners. A finely-
shaped, round, oblong potato of extra
good quality and flavor and very
mealy, even when only partially
grown. This potato is characterized
by its pink skin. The flesh
is white and solid. Our im-
proved strain has no equal;
is grown exclusively in the
Red River Valley of the North
and is pure, clean and genu-
ine. We think so much of
this wonderful Improved Extra
Early Ohio Potato, and we
are so confident that it will
fully satisfy anyone who is
looking for the best extra
early variety, that we cannot
recommend it too highly.

You will find it the most
profitable potato you ever planted. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Early Triumph or Six Weeks.

For this reason it is one of the most desirable for farmers and
stances they will yield from 250 to 350 bushels per acre and b
are very attractive. Send to us if you want genuine “Rurals/'

Ezurly Triumph or Six Weeks. (B1 iss). This
variety was introduced many years ago and attained at
that time no particular favor» but suddenly its virtues
become known and it is now a standard variety the
country over. The demand for it has tripled the last
two or three years. There is a good reason why the
Triumph should be popular, because it is from 7 to 10
days earlier than the Ohio, and that means a differ-
ence of many dollars in the crop. The tubers are
nearly round and a little squared at the ends; smooth
and medium in size; reddish-pink in color. The flesh
is very white and firm and very mealy when cooked.
Our Red River Valley potatoes cannot be excelled.
They are very superior to homegrown seed as it grows
larger and stronger and yields more per acre. See
Blue Sheet for Prices.

Rural New Yorker No. 2. A well known
variety and very largely planted for a profitable main
crop. One of the largest yielding varieties in exist-
ence. Large and unusually smooth with few and
shallow eyes. The tubers are nearly round, flattened
with very smooth, pure, white skin, and flesh of supe-
rior quality; medium late and a good drouth resister.
Although it is a good yielder it grows but few and
small vines. It is very hardy and will stand the
heaviest manuring without getting scabby or spotted,
potato growers for the market. Under ordinary circum-
y heavy manuring this yield can be almost doubled. They
pure, clean and healthy. See Blue Sheet for Prices,

Carman No. 3. This
handsome, late and popular
potato should be found in every
list of the best varieties. This
wonderful, main crop potato is
of large size, yielding immense
crops of uniform size and shape.

The tubers are borne very close
to the plant, making them easily
dug. It has but few eyes, which
are shallow, while the shin is
creamy white and the flesh is
extremely of the same color. It
is a perfect keeper, is not sur-
passed as a table variety, and is
remarkably handsome and with-
out any exception whatever, the
greatest yielding potato ever in-
troduced. It is a sort of iron-
clad and holds its own and does
well everywhere. It makes great
yields of fine, large, smooth
tubers, even under the most
unfavorable circumstances and
can be relied upon as a money
maker. We recommend this
potato to our customers as being

the best of all late varieties. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Gentlemen: — I am well pleased with the Silver King Corn bought
from you as it yielded about 15 bushels more to the acre than the other
varieties on the same kind of land. It went 60 bushels to the acre,
although it was hit some by hail. Am thinking of trying some of your
Cashman’s Yellow Dent next year. The corn all grew good and was
true to type.

Respectfully yours,

Gentlemen: — The Cashman’s Yellow Dent purchased from you
last spring has turned out to be a wonderful crop. I beleive the corn
will yield fully seventy-five bushels per acre. I consider this the best
crop of corn I have ever raised and I have grown corn in Iowa for
fifteen years. I cannot recommend this variety to highly.

Very truly yours.

Seeds of Quality

Clinton Brand Lawn Grass Seed.

For Lawns, Grass Plots, Tennis Courts, Cricket Grounds, etc. It is the Cleanest, the Heaviest, the
Cheapest, the Best, because it is made up of Extra Recleaned, Solid Seed of
the Close-Growing Varieties, Best Adapted for the Purpose.

It is universally conceded that nothing contributes as much to the beauty and attractiveness of the home grounds as
a nice, smooth, uniformily rich green, well kept, velvety lawn. If one must sleep out of doors, as is now recommended,
attend tea parties and other social functions on the lawn, and take physical exercise on the golf links it makes some
difference how the grass grows. As fast as gardens come to be properly designed, with sunny lawns for walking, sheltered
seats for reading and social gatherings, the domestic activities will be transferred more and more to the open air. Yes. the
lawn is the only essential thing. It is that part of the home comforts which serves always as a practical convenience as
well as a thing of beauty. It is the cool, refreshing, restful part. How important it is then, to plan for the best obtainable.

Fine and Permanent Lawns. A good lawn should have a firm yet elastic and carpet-like surface. Its aspect
and soil should be carefully considered. At one time it was thought that turfing with old pasture sod was necessary to
secure the best results, but owing to the difficulty in obtaining good, clean turf, this plan is now almost entirely super-
seded by the use of seed. Seeding is not only inexpensive but is in reality the only means of securing a fine and
permanent lawn, depending only for its complete success on the thoroughness with which the ground is prepared, the
quality and quantity of the seed sown, and the subsequent care of the lawn- There is no other thing, which, at so slight
an investment can add greater value to the property, or be a source of so much pleasure to the beholder.

Formation of Lawn From Seed. Seeding a new lawn is a very important matter and should be done as care-
fully as possible. The new soil should be worked up to a depth of 4 to 6 inches, but none of the clay or subsoil should
be brought to the surface; that is. where the soil is shallow only the top soil should be worked over for planting, and
where grading or filling in is to be done, the rough soil should be dug over or plowed and harrowed before the better
top soil is put on. Make the surface as fine as possible with a sharp steel rake or with a fine-toothed harrow before
sowing the seed. It is advisable to sow the seed in the spring, but it can also be sown at any time during the year if
desirable to do so. and it will germinate well if there is sufficient rainfall and moderately cool weather at the time of
sowing to start a good growth of grass. It is of advantage in hot weather to sow about one bushel of oats per acre with
grass seed, as the oats will afford shade and protection to the young grass and give it a better chance to start. In this
case the oats should not be allowed to grow tall, but kept closely cut with the grass and will die out in the winter.

When the surface has been thoroughly prepared and rolled, the seed should be sown broadcast on a quiet, still day,
so that it can be spread evenly. Generally the air is stiller between 5 and 6 o’clock in the morning than later in the
day. making this time more suitable for sowing the seed. The surface to be sown should be gone over as evenly as
possible from end to end. and then again from side to side, to insure an even surface distribution of the seed and to make
sure that every portion of the surface is properly covered. After sowing, the seed should be covered with fine soil,
by going over the surface lightly with a fine rake or with a roller, using the latter only when the soil is sufficiently dry.

For lawne already set with grass, but which have become thin and bare in spots, we recommend that the surface of
the bare places be loosened with a sharp rake and liberally seeded with Clinton Brand Lawn Grass Seed, excepting
in shady places, where our Shady Place Lawn Grass Seed should be used. The surface should again be raked over
after seeding, so that the seed will be properly covered, and if dry at the time of seeding, it should be well rolled or
copiously sprinkled with hose or garden can.

Mowing. All turf-forming grasses are improved, both in vigor and in root growth and in fineness of texture, by
frequent mowings. It is impossible to say just how often the grass should be mown, as that depends upon the rate at
which it grows. Too close cutting should be guarded against, especially during hot summer months, when roots require
some top growth to protect them from the burning sun. Top growth is necessary to protect roots from severe winter frosts.

Quantities of Seed Required for a New Lawn. Jn order to secure quick and satisfactory results, a liberal
quantity of grass seed should be used at the time of original sowing. When the grass is fairly up. make a second sowing
in spaces which show unevenness, as these barren spots will surely be occupied with weeds if neglected. One pound
is sufficient to sow a plot 300 square feet or 15x20 feet; 5 pounds. 2,000 square feet or 40x50 square feet; 80 to 100
pounds for an acre. For renovating, use half the quantity.

Clinton Brand Lawn Grass Seed. We have given particular attention to grasses which grow successfully in
severe northern climates; and at the same time we have aimed to improve the appearance of the lawn. We have now
succeeded and are confident in stating that our Clinton Brand Lawn Grass Seed is the most ideal mixture that is
offered in the northwest. It is unrivaled for hardiness, productiveness, purity and vigor in growth. It produces a
perfect and enduring lawn of luxuriant richness, closely interwoven, firm, deep and elastic turf, and is composed of a
thoroughly balanced combination of various native and foreign, fine-leaved, deep-rooted grasses. Our seed is highly
cleaned, free from all chaff and is absolutelv fresh, insuring the purchaser quick results. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

SHADY PLACE LAWN GRASS.

A Mixture of Grasses that Thrive in Shady Situations, Under Trees or
Close to Walls where there is Little Sun.

On nearly all lawns there are unsightly bare spots under the shade trees, which have baffled all efforts to get the
grass to grow, but with our Shady Place Lawn Grass Mixture there need be no further difficulty. It is a combination
of fine, dwarf-growing, evergreen varieties which do well in all shady spots, being found in their natural state in woods
or other sheltered or shaded places. Ground that has been densely shaded by trees is frequently **sour” and if the
drainage is defective it is apt to be covered with moss and coarse bog grasses. In such cases an application of slacked
lime, at the rate of one bushel to each thousand square feet, or forty bushels to the acre, is an excellent corrective and
sweetener, but the moss should first be removed by the use of a sharp rake. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

The Home Garden

To be able to go into the home garden and pick or pull fresh, crisp vegetables is a rare treat only fully understood
by people who have tried it. You cannot appreciate the true flavor and sweetness of vegetables unless you have grown
them yourself and plucked them just previous to preparing them for dinner. Market sold vegetables twenty-four hours
old are poor and expensive. Growing a garden is both healthful and gives a great deal of pleasure. Our Vegetable
**Seeds of QuzJity” possess real merit and honest value. Every variety listed has been carefully selected and
tested. We recommend them and can assure you that better seeds cannot be found anywhere at any price. Send us
your order and we will send you vegetable seeds that will produce satisfactory results and please you. The prices
quoted include payment of postage on packets, ounces, ^ lb. and pounds. They do not include free delivery charges
on larger quantities.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT The old method of selling Peas, Beans and Corn by the

. pint and quart has been discontinued. Seeds will here-

after be quoted by the pound. You will find it more accurate and more fair than buying by the pint and quart.

ASPARAGUS.

One ounce to 50 feet of drill will produce about 300 plants; 4 to 5 pounds to the acre.

CULTURE.— A bed of Asparagus, when properly made, lasts for many years and should find a place in every garden. Sow seed in the
spring as soon as the ground can be worked, in rich, mellow soil, in drills one foot apart and cover with earth three-quarters to one inch deep. To
secure strong, healthy plants, thin the seedlings two to three inches in the rows. The following spring set the plants in their permanent places.
The most satisfactory way to obtain an Asparagus bed is to set out roots that are at least one year old (two year old roots are better). It really
takes three years to secure a bed from seed. The soil should be made as rich as possible, bearing in mind that the beds are to bear many years
and it is easier to work in a good supply of manure before the plants are set than after. Dig a trench two feet deep and two to three feet apart, mix
plenty of well totted manure with the top soil, fill the trench one and one-half feet, then set the plants, being careful to spread the toots from one
and one-half to two feet apart, then gradually fill up the trench, leaving the plants six inches below the surface. Large fields may be planted by
plowing deeply ten to fourteen inches without trenching. The rows should be four and one-half feet apart and roots two feet apart in the rows. In
this case it will take about 7,445 plants to an acre. Asparagus will grow faster on light, well drained soil, and send up more shoots than if planted
on stiff, heavy soil. Every fall apply a good dressing of manure after the tops have been cut, work in the next spring, being careful not to injure
the roots. Asparagus can be bleached and made tender by covering with six inches of fine cut hay, straw or leaves.

For full directions, how to grow Asparagus, get our Asparagus Book by F. M. Hexamer. Price, 50 cents, postpaid.

ASPARAGUS SEED.

Colossal. This is urtquestionably one of the best
varieties offered the public. It is deliciously tender, extra large,
uniform, wonderously prolific, crisp and white. Spreads less than
other sorts and yields from fifteen to thirty sprouts from a single
plant. In fact, it has all the good Qualities demanded by market and
home gardeners. Price, pkt. 5c. For quantity see Blue Sheet.

Palmetto. Although of southern origin, this new Asparagus is
equally well adapted to northern soil and climate conditions. It is
mammoth in size, even and regular in growth and appearance.
Large, thick, light-green shoots with distinctly pointed tip. It is
usually ready for market before other varieties. As this Asparagus
is absolutely hardy it is now extensively grown by northern gardeners.
Price, pkt. 5c. For larger quantity see Blue Sheet.

Burpee’s Stringless. This famous Bean is unequalled
and combines unusual hardiness, extreme earliness, and
wonderful productiveness with pods of handsome appearance
and finest quality. Extra plantings may be made
to produce the earliest crop, and even with later
plantings this variety is the quickest to produce
pods. By repeated plantings pods may be
had in constant succession from Spring
until cut off by heavy frosts in the fall.
Combined with extra hardiness and early
maturity, the pods are the finest in quality,
of rich green, very round and straight, five
inches long, solidly meaty and broad, deep
saddle>backed, caused by the rounded swell
of the fleshy sides. The pods are tender,
brittle and of the finest flavor, always en-
tirely stringless even when fully matured.
In a word, all private and market gardeners
agree that this variety is absolutely un-
equalled. Price, pkt. 5c. For larger
quantity see Blue Sheet.

Extra Early Red Valentine. An

American standard green-podded dwarf
snap-bean. The healthy, vigorous plants
are usually hardy, successfully withstand-
ing early frosts; it may therefore be planted
very early. This, with its quick develop-
ment, makes it the earliest large-podded
variety, and on this account it is extensively
grown by market gardeners throughout the
country, though it is equally desirable for
home gardens. It will always yield a large
crop of handsome, long, round, meaty pods,
rich green in color and of surpassed tender-
ness when gathered young, when it is practically stringless. Yields prodigiously and is ready for picking in about
45 days from planting. Price, pkt. 5c. For larger quantity see Blue Sheet.

Refugee, Late or 1000 to 1. Rather later than the other green-podded varieties, but extremely prolific.
True bush growth, fifteen inches in height, branching freely. The pods are nearly round, light green, five inchw
long, tapering to a slender point; fleshy, brittle, and mild in flavor, but with slight strings. Seed long, light drab,
thickly dotted and splashed with purple. Plant is very hardy, making it one of the best for both early and late plant-
ing. An immense producer and highly esteemed for canning and pickling. Price, pkt. 5c. Sec Blue Sheet
for Prices.

White Navy. A sure cropper and not only more prolific than the common white Bean but also of better quality.
Vine large, spreading, with small, thin leaves and occasional runners, ripening its crop early and all at once. Pods
straight, short, small, but usually containing six beans which are small, oval, white, handsome and of superior quality.
Price, pkt. 5c. For larger quantity see Blue Sheet.

Burpee*s Stringless.

BEANS, DWARF OR BUSH, (Wax or Yellow Podded Varieties).

Black Wax. This is the first to give a full picking; pods clear yellowish-white, round, fleshy, tender, fine flavor,

Seeds of Quality i

BROCCOLI.

One ounce to 3,000 plants. Culture same as for Cauliflower.

White Cape. Heads medium size, close, compact and of a creamy white color; one of the most cettain to head.
Broccoli requires the same culture as Cauliflower, from which it is supposed to have originated. It gives excellent
results in cool climates, being more hardy than Cauliflower. Price, pht. 10c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS.

One ounce to 1,500 plants. Culture same as for Cabbage,

A species of the Cabbage family, which produces miniature heads from the sides of the stalk. These heads are
a great delicacy, boiled in the same way as Cauliflower. The delicate flavor is improved by a touch of frost. For
early use sow seed in April in hotbed; transplant to cold frame as soon as leaves develop, and set out, where the plants
are to remain, in June. For late use sow seed in June.

Improved Dwarf. Dwarf habit, and less liable to apis than any other variety. Grows to 2 feet high in a
single stem, which is covered its entire length with miniature cabbage heads. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet.

BEETS.

One ounce to 100 feet of drill, 5 to 6 pounds to an acre.

CULTURE. — Humas loam, well drained and well enriched, will raise good Beet crops. For early table Beets, have drills 16 to 20 inches
a^art, and sow the seed about 1 inch deep, as early as the ground can be put in good condition. The seed may be sown under glass four weeks
sooner, and the young seedlings transplanted to open ground to give an extra early crop. Give thorough and clean cultivation, and thin the plants
to stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows. For succession sow at intervals until the middle of July. For the earliest sowings a light dressing of
(titrate of soda, say 100 pounds per acre, will sometimes work wonders.

Crimson Globe. This Beet is remarkable for its
smooth skin and fine shape. It is a very handsome variety.
The matured being medium in size, nearly globe shaped,
and free from rootlets. The flesh is of a rich blood red of
the finest quality; never stringy, always sweet and tender.
The roots average 10 inches in circumference, the foliage is
small and of rich bronze purple. For market use as a main
crop variety it is very heavily planted and a favorite every-
where. Price, pkt. 5c. For quantity see Blue Sheet.

Extra Early Egyptian. The best variety for forcing
and excellent for first early crop out-of-doors, being very
early, with a small top. Leaf stem is dark red; leaf dark
green dotted with red; root very dark red, rounded on top,
flat beneath with very small tap root; flesh dark red zoned
with lighter shade; hard, crisp and tender when young. Our
stock is very carefully grown and we highly recommend it.
Price, pkt. 5c. For quantity see Blue Sheet.

Early Blood Turnip. Very popular. Root fine;
symmetrical in shape; flesh deep red blood, tender and
sweet; grows to a good size; fine for early use and desirable
for winter. The very best for a general crop. Price, pkt.
5c. For quantity see Blue Sheet.

Eclipse. Larger than Egyptian but not as deep a red in
colo.. Tops small, dark purplish green, shading to a lighter
color on outside of leaves. The roots are very globular with
small tap root and very small collar. Flesh red, zoned to a
lighter shade; very sweet, crisp and tender, especially when
young. A very early maturing variety, especially desirable
or the home garden. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet.

Half Long Blood. An entirely distinct variety and one we consider by far the best for winter or spring use.
The root is deep red, very symmetrical, two or three times as long as thick, always smooth and handsome. The flesh
is rich, dark red, very sweet, crisp and tender, never becoming woody even in portions above ground. Excellent to
slice for pickles and retains its good quality longer than any other sort. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet.

Long Smooth Blood Red Has an enviable record for it is without question the finest long beet grown for
fall and winter use. It is of deep red color, excellent flavor, is an enormous cropper, keeps solid and fresh throughout
the winter. Cooks sweet, tender and crisp, is very desirable for pickles, and in every way may be considered the
standard long beet for the market and the home gardener. The long, slender roots grow largely under ground, and are,
when mature, about 2 inches in diameter and 10 inches long and are ready for the table in about 60 days. They are
very prolific, 10 to 12 tons having been grown per acre. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Swiss Chard or Spinach Beet. We urge all our customers to try this superb vegetable. It is grown for its
leaves and stems exclusively, as it does not produce an edible root like the regular beet. Is highly esteemed for its
broad, flat, beautiful wax-like stems and mid-rib which are cooked and served in the same manner as asparagus, making
a most delicious vegetable. The leaves, also, may be cooked like spinach, and is considered equally as palatable,
therefore, two separate dishes may be grown from one plant at the same time. It will last all through the growing sea-
son if the leaves are pulled from the plant. Price, pkt, 6c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

SUGAR BEETS.

Sugar Beets are not as hervy yielders as the Mangels, bnt are of superior quality, containing a large amount of sugar. They are excellent
for feeding cows, improving -wonderfully the quantity and quality of the milk. We are glad to note that farmers are beginning to find out the
value of Sugar Beets and that more more are being raised each year. CULTURE — Both Sugar Beet and Mangel Wurzels require deep, well
enriched soil. Sow In May or June in rcws 18 inches apart and 3 to 8 inches in the rows. Young plants may be transplanted to fill up vacancies.
As soon as frost occurs, dig the crop. Five 6 pounds of seed are required for an acre.

White Klein Wanzieben. This Sugar Beet is now acknowledged, generally, as the
best to grow for stock. It is the heaviest yielding, rich in sugar, about 15 per cent of sugar can be
obtained from this variety. Will yield 35 tons to the acre and has excellent keeping qualities.
Will keep much better than the Mangels, as freezing does not injure them much. They are very
easily dug as they grow partly above ground. Every farmer should try this Sugar Beet. Price,
pkt- 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Vilmorin’s Improved Sugar. The Beet that contains the largest percentage of sugar
is the one that is the most desirable for the sugar factory or stock feeding. In this variety we
have one that is extremely rich in sugar, thousands of analysis showing that the percentage of
sugar which can be obtained from this Beet is about 16. It is one of the richest sorts in cultiva-
tion. In black soils, rich in organic matter, it will yield 20 to 25 tons per acre. Grows below
the surface of the ground; leaves are green, smooth edge and spreading. Price, pkt. 5c. See
Blue Sheet for Prices.

FOR FEEDING STOCK.

An ever increasing acreage is being planted for stock feeding beets because
of the wonderful results from feeding them as shown by the reports of our ex-
periment stations and leading farmers and stockmen. Fattening, breeding and
milk cattle do equally well on them. About one-fourth of the daily rations
should be of roots. No one who keeps horses, cattle, or sheep should be with-
out these roots for fall or winter feeding. Their true worth is shown in the improved
health and condition of animals, the increased yield of milk in cows, and the great sav-
ing in hay. CULTURE. — Sow in April or May in thoroughly plowed, well-manured
soil, in drills 2 inches deep, about 24 inches apart, at the rate of 5 to 6 pounds per
acre. When the plants are 2 or 3 inches high, thin out to 12 inches and keep ihe weeds
V)wn by frequent hoeing and cultivating. Harvest before frost and store in pits or cellars. If you have
ie>er grown these roots a trial will convince you of their value.

Mammoth Long Red Mangel. This is generally considered the best large red
variety. Our customers will make no mistake by ordering this one if they want a good
/ed Mangel. It is an enormous yielder, from 1,200 to 1,500 bushels have been raised
on an acre. The roots are very large, uniformly straight and well formed. Color deep
red, roots solid, tops small. Mangels weigh from 20 to 30 pounds each, producing an
immense bulk and tonnage. An excellent keeper. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet
for Prices.

Golden Temkard Mangel. We recommend this variety as one of the -

best Mangels for the dairy farmer, and for stock feeding it has no equal. It
contains less water and a greater percentage of sugar and more nutritive matter ^
than any other red-skinned sorts. It is relished by milch cows and sheep, and
all other stock thrives wonderfully on it. Is almost cylinderical in shape, and very hardy.

Enormous crops are grown and on account of its shape they are easily lifted from the
ground. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

CAULIFLOWER.

One ounce will produce
3,000 plants.

CLTLTURE. — For spring and early sum-
mer crop, sow in March or early in April int
hotbed and transplant when large enough ino another or the same frame,
and gradually hardening them ofi, preparatory to planting them out as early
as the ground is in a fit condition. Set plants in open ground in rows twc
and one-half feet apart and eighteen inches apart in the row. Plenty ol
good manure must be incorporated with the soil and the latter to be brought
into the highest state of tilth. No application, however, can be more nec-
essary and more useful than the cultivator and hoe. For late crop, sow at
same time as for late cabbage and treat in the same manner.

Early Snowball. Earliest of all varieties; best for both
private and market purposes and admirably adapted for forc-
ing or wintering. With reasonably favorable conditions every
plant will form round, solid, compact and very white, curd-
like heads of fine quality. Price, pkt. 10c. See Blue
Sheet for Prices.

CABBAGE.

One ounce will produce about 3,000 plants. One-half pound is sufficient for an acre.

CULTURE. — Good land is necessary for Cabbages; the stronger the soil the better they will develop. Plow deep and manare liberally.
The early sorts will stand planting from 18 to 24 inches apart in the row with the rows from two to two and one-half feet apart. The large
varieties should be set two to three feet apart. The Cabbage should receive frequent hoeing and thorough cultivation.. Protect against the rav
ages of cutworm, maggot, and green worm. A little nitrate of soda applied around the plants is often of great benefit. Potash applications, such
as wood ashes or muriate, may also do much good. Splashing with hot soap suds is a safe remedy for some insect pests.

Early Jersey
Wakefield.

Selected Early Jersey Wakefield. A leading variety
of the extra early Cabbages and one of the best for private
or market gardeners use. Heads are very hard, compact,
solid, conical in shape and good quality. Few outside leaves
but they are thick and stout. Most gardeners depend
upon it for the bulk of their extra early crop. Price,
pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Early Summer. This variety forms large, solid,
round, flattened, compact heads of excellent quality,
tender and sweet. The heads average from 8 to 10
pounds each. It matures about 10 days later than
Early Jersey Wakefield, but is more than double the
size. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Copenhagen Market. A new early variety very
popular with market gardeners. The finest large, round-
headed cabbage in cultivation and desirable on account
of the remarkable characteristic of maturing the heads
all at the same time, enabling the grower to gather his
crop with less expense and permitting the cleaning of
the land at the first cutting. The heads average about
10 lbs. each, are hard and solid and have small core.
The quality is extra fine and sweet. Matures as early
as the Wakefield and yields more to the acre in weight.
Price, pkt. 10c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Early Dwarf Flat Dutch. A round, flat-
headed, early variety. Its great value lies in its being
a first early flat Cabbage, a type much prefered ‘over pointed heads by many people. It has a short stem and only 4 or
5 outside leaves, and these are so small that it may be planted 21 inches apart. It is a sure, solid header; always pio-
ducing a crop of large, uniform heads which seldom burst. It is extensively grown in all sections of the country, and
is pronounced a great success. There is no Cabbage we know of having a more solid head; it has the peculiarity of
heading firmly at an early stage in its growth, so that the finest cabbage, though small, can be obtained long before it
has attained its mature size. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Early Winnigstadt. Very early, and one of the best Cabbages for general use. It is a very fine header and will
grow a hard, solid head under circumstances where most sorts would fail and is especially adapted for light soils. Heads
regular, conical and leaves dark green color, short, thick and very tightly folded. This variety suffers less from the
cabbage worm than most other sorts and will keep well both summer and winter. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet.

Hollander or Danish Ball-head. This extra hard-headed variety originated in Denmark,
sired on account of its great solidity and its keeping qualities.

They weigh more than other sorts of equal size. The heads are
crisp, tender and sweet, and unsurpassed for boiling, slaw,
sauerkraut, etc. This Cabbage grows well on all soils and
der most conditions, withstanding hot, dry weather, and
does not rot in wet seasons. Price, pkt. 5c. See

CARROTS.

One ounce will sow 100 feet of drilL Three pounds for an acre.

CULTURE. — Carrots do best on a sandy loam soil, but any good soil if thoroughly and deeply worked will produce satisfactory crops
It is advisable to sow as early in spring as the ground is fit to work, though good crops may be grown from sowings as late as June 15th. For table
use sow the smaller kinds early in rows 15 inches apart. For field culture sow in drills 24 inches apart, cover one-half inch deep and see to it that
the soil is pressed firmly about the seeds. As soon as the plants appear use the cultivator or wheel hoe. When the plants are 3 inches high thin 2
to 6 inches apart in the row, according to size of the variety. The Carrot is one of the most wholesome and nutritious of our garden roots and we
urge our readers to give some of our varieties a trial.

Early Chanteny. The best early Carrot in ex*
istance, one which every gardener should plant- It grows
about 6 inches long, is stump rooted, very smooth, deep
red, fine grained, sweet and sugary, and not apt to crack
open while growing- An excellent table sort and a heav>
cropper and very desirable as a field Carrot- A genera
favorite with all market and home gardeners- Price,
pkt- 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Danver’s Half Long. The best for general crop.
Will yield the most per acre- Most profitable for markel
gardeners; stump-rooted- This variety originated in Daii,*
vers. Mass., where the raising of Carrots is made a
special business, 20 to 30 tons per acre being no unusual
crop- It is now grown largely everywhere on account ol
its great productiveness and adaptability to all classes ol
soil. Tops medium size, roots deep orange, large but ol
medium length, tapering uniformly to a blunt point.
Smooth and handsome flesh; sweet, crisp and tender.
Although of medium length, it gives the largest yield per
acre of any Carrot. We take extra pains in the selection
of our seed stock- It is second to none. Price, pkt- 5c.
See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Improved Long Orange. The standard late
variety; very handsome and uniform in shape; roots are
of a deep orange color; good flavor; yields very heavily.
Requires a deep soil. Plants should stand 8 inches
apart in 18-inch drills for roots to attain their full size.
The roots are smooth, fine-grained and very large, grow-
ing to 12 inches in length and 3 inches in diameter.
For feeding milch cows it is very valuable, as it increases
the flow of milk and imparts to the butter a rich golden
hue. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Oxheart or Guerande. A good variety for soils
too hard and too stiff for the long growing sorts- It is a
very flne and popular Carrot. It is intermediate as to
length between the half-long varieties- From 4 to 5
inches in diameter at the top. Flesh bright orange, fine
grained and sweet. It is of very fine quality for table
use and equally good for stock. Where other sorts require digging, this variety can be easily pulled, making it particu-
larly adapted to shallow soils, where the longer varieties would not thrive. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet.

CARROTS FOR STOCK.

THE CELEBRATED MASTODON AND VICTORIA.

Two pounds of seed will sow an acre.

Every farmer should plant a few acres of Stock Carrots as they make excellent feed and are greatly relished by all stock. Horses and cattle
are particularly fond of them, eat them with the greatest relish and grow fat. Most dairymen know the value of Carrots for cows as they will not
only increase the flow of milk but also improve quality and impart to the butter a beautiful golden color. A few acres will be very profitable.
Stock Carrots are easily raised, yield enormous crops and can be stored the same as potatoes.

Mastodon. The heaviest cropping Carrot grown, yielding more tons to the acre than any other sort. The flesh
is white, crisp and solid and very sweet in flavor. The roots are short and very heavy at the shoulder, rendering it
easily harvested. An important feature is that they do not easily break in pulling or sorting. The roots frequently
measure 15 to 20 inches in circumference, and 18 to 40 tons to the acre is not an extravagant statement as to yield.
We urge farmers to try our Mastodon. Price, pkt. 5c. Sec Blue Sheet for Prices.

Victoria. A very large, rich Stock Carrot. There is only one best Stock Carrot, and we think our Mastodon
is that carrot, yet many prefer a yellow carrot. We can say there is no yellow carrot which can approach the Victoria
in size, yield and feedling qualities. It is the largest and best yellow carrot known. The roots are remarkably fine,
very symmetrical and of excellent quality, possessing high feeding properties. It is a heavy cropper on all soils, but
is especially adapted for rich, strong land. It grows nearly half as much weight again per acre as the ordinary varieties,
and as the roots grow more above the ground it is easier to gather the crop. This grand variety is sure to suit every
one who grows it. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Seeds of

StowelFs Evergreen Sweet Corn

CULTURE. — The Sweet or Sugar varieties, being liable to rot in cold or wet ground, should not be planted before May, or until the ground
has become warm; for a succession continue planting every 2 weeks, until the middle of July, on well manured ground, in hills 3 feet apart each
way, covering about half an inch, and thin out to 3 plants to the hill. The extra early varieties can be planted 18 inches in the row and two and
one-half feet between the rows. Use the early varieties for the first 2 or 3 sowings, then the medium, and at last the late ones. Plant 6 kernels
to the hill, hoe frequently and thoroughly but cultivate shallow until the tassels appear.

Both market and private gardeners should not forget the important fact that Sweet Corn grown in the North is
earlier and more hardy than the same varieties produced in the South. Nearly all of our varieties of Sweet Corn are
from a week to ten days earlier than the same varieties produced elsewhere, meaning a great deal to the gardener whose
ambition is to have his corn first on the market when the highest prices are being paid. This is equally as important
with the private planter who grows corn for his own table, as it lengthens the season for all varieties. Our Sweet
Corn is thoroughly tested bafore it is sent out.

EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES.

Golden Bantum. The hardiest Sweet Corn for the cool. Northern climate. It is also the best variety to plant
late in summer. Extra early and extra hardy. Although the grain in the young, tender state is sweet and rich beyond
comparison the dry seed is quite solid, permitting of the earliest planting. Planting can be made a week or 10 days
earlier than with the shriveled seed of regular types. Even if planted at the same time, Colden Bantum is as early as
the Cory and a much finer flavor. Is dwarf in growth, stalks averaging 4 feet in height. Ears are from 5 to 7 inches
in length. What it lacks in size is fully made up in productiveness and quality. The small stalks can be grown closely
together in the row and in good soil will produce 2 to 3 fine ears to the stalk. Golden Bantum is so named because the
grain, when ready for use, is a rich creamy-yellow as it ripens. The ears are protected by a good, firm hush and are not
liable to smut. Is especially recommended for Northern soil and climatic conditions. Our seed of this strain is care-
fully selected and Northern grown. Price, pht. 5c. For larger quantity see Blue Sheet.

Peep 0*Day. The two points of this remarkable corn to which we wish to call particular attention are its
extraordinary earliness and unparalleled sweetness, surpassing any other known variety in these particulars. So
marked is its sweetness and delicacy of flavor that those who have been in the habit of planting several varieties to
secure a succession, now plant Peep O^Day, arranging the plantings a few days apart so as to have this delicious corn
for the home table throughout the entire season. The early varieties of Sweet Corn do not, as a rule, yield as heavily
as the late sorts, but Peep O'Day not only surpasses in this desirable feature many of the early varieties, but the late
varieties as well. It is wonderfully productive which is readily accounted for by the fact that the stalks bear from 2 to
5 ears and the growth being dwarf — about 4 feet — admits of very close planting. Market gardeners find this variety
very profitable and as a sure crop it is also valuable to the farmer. Price, pkt. 5c. For larger quantity see Blue

Early Minnesota. A very popular
cariety and one of the best early sorts. By
vareful selection we have developed a stock
which is remarkably uniform and in which
all the good qualities that are so popular
with this variety are intensified. The Early
Minnesota Sweet Corn is especially desire-
able where seasons are short- Extremely
productive. Very desirable for market,
home and canning purposes. The ears
bear from 8 to 10 rows of large, white
grains- Price, pkt, 5c. For quantities
See Blue Sheet.

Sweet Bantaun. This variety resem-
bles the Golden Bantam in a great many
ways- It is extremely hardy. The grain
in the young and tender state is exceptionly
sweet and rich. The stalks are dwarf in
size, generally growing about 4 feet in
height, ears are larger than the Golden
Bantam and the yield much heavier. This
variety seems to possess all the good quali-
ties of the Golden Bantam and also com-
bines the good qutlities of the later var-
ieties- We secured a small quantity of seed
of this strain from our State Experiment Station this past season and can recommend it with the confidence that it will
prove satisfactory to our customers. Price, pkt. 5c. For larger quantity See Blue Sheet.

SECOND EARLY VARIETIES.

Early Evergreen. This Sweet Com has fairly leaped into popularity and it is safe to say that there is more
Early Evergreen Corn planted today for second early than any other second early varieties. It is the finest and the
earliest of the large-eared intermediate varieties w'hich will fill up the gap between the early and the late corns, being
about a weete to 10 days later than the early sorts and about two weeks earlier than Stowell’s Evergreen. It produces
large ears which are 12 to 14 rowed and in quality as good as those of its later namesake, but the shape and size of the
grains are somewhat difi^erent. The ears measure 10 to 12 inches- In color the kernels are pure white, very sweet
tender and palatable- It is a prolific variety and matures its ears from 60 to 70 days, depending on location and char-
acter of soil. On warm, sandy land the ears are ready in 60 days, while on heavy clay land the period of growth is
longer- We recommend this variety to market gardeners as well as for use on the home table- Price, pkt. 5c«
For larger quaoitity see Blue Sheet.

Crosby’s Early. An early variety of fine quality. Ears are 5^^ to 6^ inches long, 14 rowed or more, with short
nearly square grains which are very white, sweet and tender. Plants about 4^ feet high- The government reports that
this strain is superior to any variety of Sweet Gorn for canning purposes in the State of Minnesota. Very productive.

Price, pkt. 5c- For larger quantity see Blue Sheet.

LATE VARIETIES.

Stowell’s Evergreen. A standard, main crop variety. It is hardy and productive, very tender and sugary,
remaining a long time in condition suitable for boiling- Our stock is Northern grown and is also carefully selected to
avoid the tendency to a shorter grain and deterioration in the evergreen character of this best known of all late Sweet
Gorn. The ears are about 8 inches long, 16 to 20 rowed; stalks about 1\ feet high- The kernels are of good size,
long and slender, entirely free from glaze and fiintness. StowelTs Evergreen is not only a most popular Sweet Gorn
for marketing and home use but is also one of the best for canning- We are sure that our extra select stock of this
variety will bring you good results. Price, pkt- 5c. For larger queuitity see Blue Sheet,

Country Gentleman. The moment the teeth sink into this luscious, milky, tender corn you become a complete
convert to it for it delights the most fastidious epicure. It retains its delicate fiavor, even when quite old, for severa
days longer than the other corns. Ears average 8 to 9 inches in length; cob small; plump, pearly-white kernels ol
great depth fill the ear from end to end. It is very productive, producing 2, 3 and occasionally 4 ears to a stalk.
This variety is often called “shoe peg,“ owing to the arrangement of the crowded kernels which are slender and deep.
Price, pkt- 5c. For larger quamtity see Blue Sheet*

POP CORN.

^Vhite Rice. The best white variety. Bears from 2 to 4 ears on a stalk, and produces 1500 to 2000 pounds
to the acre. Sure to grow quick to mature and easy to harvest. Our White Rice Pop Gorn should be planted in
every garden, especially where there are children in the home to enjoy it during the long winter evenings which bring
young people together for social amusement. The popping qualities of this corn are unsurpassed. Grains are of fine
fiavor, large, tender and snowy white. Price, pkt. 5ci For larger quantity See Blue Sheet.

Japanese Hulless. This variety is sought by growers more than any other. The poppers throughout the coun-
try are insisting on the Japanese liulless. One of the most prolific kinds grown. A splendid sort of exceeding ten-
derness and delicate taste. Price, pkt. 5c. For larger quantity See Blue Sheet.

CUCUMBERS.

One ounce will plant 50 hills; 2 to 3 pounds, in hills, for an acre.

CULTURE.-^Cucumbers succeed best in rich, warm, loamy soil. As soon as the weather becomes warm and settled, plant In liills 5 to 6
feet apart each way, with 10 to 12 seeds in a hill; cover one-half inch deep. Air-slacked lime sprinkled on the plants every few days as soon as
they are up will protect them from the striped beetle. When all danger from the insect is passed thin out the plants, leaving 3 or 4 of the strong-
est to each hill. The fruit should be picked when large enough, whether required for use or not, because if left to ripen on the vines it destroys
their productiveness. In gathering for pickles, cut the stem instead of pulling the fruit off and be careful not to mar them.

Improved White Spine.

Davis* Perfect. TKis variety excells all other sorts
in point of beauty, quality and productiveness. It loads
its vines exceedingly heavy. At least 25 per cent more
fruit can be cut from the vines than from the ordinary kinds.
Color, dark green; shape, nearly the same size from end
to end. Color changes when ripening to a cream; when
thoroughly ripe to a yellow- The Davis Perfect produces
the smallest quantity of seed of any Cucumber grown,
which makes it especially desirable for slicing or for sweet
pickles. All up-to-date gardeners
are growing this excellent variety.

We are offering extra select seed
and this is one of our best things in
the vegetable line for this season.

Price, pkt- 5c- See Blue Sheet
for Prices.

Improved Long Green. This fine Cucumber grows from 10 to 12 inches long and is
of superior quality. It forms fruit fit for the table nearly as early as the short varieties. T he
young fruit is very largely used for pickling, and it is a standard variety for that purpose.
Full-sized Cucumbers are in high favor for making the so-called sweet pickles. Vines strong
growers, and the fruit* is always produced in great abundance, making it one of the most pro-
ductive varieties in cultivation. We offer a carefully selected strain uniformly long, of good
form and with the large warts and spines well distributed over the surface instead of being
clustered at one end as in inferior stocks. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Japanese Climbing. A distinct and valuable type, with strong vines throwing out num-
erous tendrils by which it may be trained upon a trellis, poles or fences, taking up less room
in the garden and keeping the fruits up from the ground free from dirt, and insuring earlier
ripening and a straight, handsome form in the large fruits. This sort grows quickly and does
best in dry, warm weather. Cucumbers are from 12 to 16 inches in length. The skin is
smooth, dark green, turning to brown and netted when ripe. Flesh pure white, crisp and of
mild flavor. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

LEEK.

One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill*

CULTURE. — Sow early in the Spring in drills 1 inch deep and 1 foot apart. When 6 or 8 inches high trans-
plant in rows 13 inches apart and 6 inches between the plants, as deep as possible to protect the blanching process.

L2U*ge American Flag. This vegetable belongs to the onion family. We offer a very
superior strain of this popular variety. It is of quick, strong growth, producing long stems of
uniform shape and size, averaging 2 inches through by 10 inches long, blanching beautifully
white and of fine, mild flavor. Price, pkt* See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Improved
Long Green.

Chicago t'icKiing. /\ very small, oval, prickly
variety, quite distinct from i..l otheis and considered one
of the best soits as it is very prolific, matures ea ly and pro-
duces an immense number of desirable shaped pickles.
It is the smallest of all varieties and should be pickled
when young and tender- These cucumbers are grown ex-
clusively for pickles. Price, pkt- 5c- See Blue Sheet
for Prices.

Improved White Spine. Cucumber perfection haa
been attained in the grand improvement in the White Spine
family. It is an early, prolific and continuous producer of
uniformly large and symmetrical fruits of an intensly rich,
deep green color, faintly marked with light-yellowish shad-
ing towards the tip, with white spine. It runs very close
to type, bearing practically no misshapen fruit or culls. It
is the ideal for slicing; flesh being compact, fine grained,
sparkling white and of most refreshing, crisp and delightful
flavor. The vines are vigorous, quite healthy, mildew-
proof, maintaining their fresh luxuriance and bearing from
the earliest to the latest season. Either for home garden
or market this variety is without a peer- Price, pkt- 5c.

CELERY.

One ounce will produce about 3,000 plants; one-half pound will produce sufficient plants to plant an acre.

CULTURE. — Sow the seed in cold frames or in the open ground in April. The seed should be covered very lightly and the earth pressed
firmly down upon it. Keep ihe seed bed moist to insure quick germination and vigorous growth. When one inch high transplant two to three
inches apart. By the last of June the plants should be ready for planting out. Previous to that time, clip the top leaves a couple of times, which
will make them grow stocky. When ready for the field set plants six to eifht Inches apart in rows three to four feet apart, pressing the soil firmly
about the roots. Cultivate frequently and water in dry weather. As fall approaches draw earth up to the plants, keeping the stalks well together,
forming a close head. Earth up at intervals to their very nps. When well blanched it is ready for use. When desired for winter use it should not
be bleacned in the field. Dig a trench in a high and weL drained place one foot wide and a few inches less than the height of the celery, set your
plants close together and cover gradually with straw or hay and earth as the weather gets colde*’. On the top of the trench boards should be placed
to allow the water to run off. Celery can also be stored in a dark, cool celler or cold frame, just kept above freezing point, and it will gradually
blanch so that it can be used throughout the winter. Care should be taken not to disturb the plants while they or the grouna are wet. It takes
about 42,000 plants, set in rows two feet apart, to plant an acre.

For full directions, how to grow Celery, get our Celery Book by W. R. Beattie, Price. 50 cents, postpaid.

LETTUCE, Head Varieties.

One ounce to 100 feet of driH will produce about 3,000 plants. Three pounds to an aore.

CULTURE. — Lettuce seed should be cereied re*y shallow to secure germiaatlon. especially the bltckseedod Mods, If sows Mdar ^am erU
the house. If sown every 2 or 3 weeks until the middle of August it may be had in perfection the entire season. Lettuce likes a rich and Mdrer
moist soil. The rows should be about 12 inches apart and plants thinned from 8 to 10 inches apart for the heading varieties. The more rapid the
growth the better the quality.

Big Boston. A grand, large Cabbage
Lettuce. Whether grown in the open ground
for summer and for fail use, or in frames for
spring, or forced cool in greenhouses for winter
use, it invariably gives both grower and user the
utmost satisfaction, producing during ail seasons,
under ordinary favorable conditions, splendid
large buttery-yellow heads, packed with
thoroughly blanched leaves, crisp, tender, sweet
and white, delighting both the palate and the
eye. This variety makes a handsome plant,
with but few outside leaves, and stands long
before bolting to seed. Price, pkt- 5c. See
Blue Sheet for Prices.

Hanson. In all respects one of the very
best out-door varieties for both the professional
and amateur gardener. Very hardy and will
stand extremes of weather better, perhaps, than
any other of the **crisp headed” sorts. The
head which attains a large size, is hard, tender
and crisp, with a blanched appearance in the
center. It is wholly free from bitterness which
makes it excellent for the table. Long after it
has reached maturity it still remains in good
condition for use. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue
Sheet for Prices.

Big Boston

Tenderhea.rt. A grand, new, large early head Lettuce. Every plant uniformly perfect, about 10 inches across,
and nearly all head with but few outside leaves. The large round heads are compactly formed of waxy cream colored
heart leaves of splendid substance, of extra fine quality, tender, crisp, succulent and sweet; attractive and appetising
when served. Tenderheart is not only a very early and hardy Lettuce, but it stands early summer heat splendicHy.
Does not bolt to seed for two weeks after it is fully headed up. Price, pkt. 5c, See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Paris White Cos. This Lettuce has a distinct upright habit and is considered by many to be the highest quality
of all other Lettuces. The leaves fold in of themselves and blanch quickly. It is large, crisp, tender and of fine
flavor. Resists warm weather to remarkable extent. Paris White Cos Lettuce should be grown in every vegetable
garden as it is thoroughly reliable, a strong grower and very productive. Price, pkt. 5c; See Blue Sheet.

Prizehead. A large, loose headed, thin leaved variety. The very large leaves are crimped, bright green,
tinged on the edges with reddish brown, of superb flavor, crisp and hardy. Mas the faculty of keeping its good qual-

LETTUCE, Curled Varieties,

Black Seeded Simpson.

Grand

Rapids

One of the best varieties for sowing out of doors where a thin, exceedingly tender
leaf is desired and for those markets which demand a very large,
loose clustering sort of a light yellowish green color. For the
amateur gardener who does not transplant nor thin his crop and
therefore has no success with head lettuce, this is the best. It grows
a large leaf of light yellowish green color, the inner leaves forming
a loose head. The leaves are quite thin, very tender, crisp, and of
fine quality. It withstands the summer heat as well as any other
sort and is largely planted. Our strain is a very fine one; all our
stock seed being saved each year from extra selected plants.
Price, pkt. 5c, See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Grand Rapids. As a Lettuce for forcing there is
no variety that produces such results as the Grand Rapids.
It is a leaf lettuce; the leaves are very finely curled, and
are of very handsome appearance. In habit, it is a strong
grower, and will keep from wilting longer while exposed
for sale than any other variety. It does not form heads,
but makes large, compact bunches of light green leaves,
decidedly crimped and blistered, and delicious in quality.
One of the very best leaf lettuces for outdoor use. Our
selected stock runs wonderfully even and true. Price,
pkt. 5c, See Blue Sheet for Prices.

MUSK MELONS, Green Fleshed Varieties.

One ounce for 60 hills; 2 to 3 pounds in hills for an acre.

CULTURE, — Melons require a light, rich soil. Old, well rotted manure in liberal quantity should be thoroughly mixed with the soil at
each hill. Put 6 to 10 seeds in the hill and when danger from insects is past, leave 3 or 4 of the strongest plants only. This method insures a
good stand of plants in spite of the bugs. If plants grow very rank, the tips of the leading shoots should be pinched off when about 3 feet long.
The quality of melons of all varieties is largely dependent upon conditions of growing and ripening. Cultivate often but not deep.

Early Hackensack. This new, early variety is a selection or improvement of the old Hackensack. Almost
equal in size to the Hackensack and fully 10 days earlier. Melons weigh from 4 to 6 pounds each. The skin is
green, heavily ribbed and thickly netted; flesh light green, of delicious flavor, rich and sugary. It is a luxuriant
grower and exceedingly productive. Several years thorough trial has proven it to be the best as well as the earliest of
all large Melons. It is reliable, healthy and vigorous. Price, pkt. 5c, See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Jenny Lind. The earliest of the small sized Melons and
is unexcelled in eating qualities. It is a great favorite with both
private and market gardeners. The rind being thick prevents it
from “breaking down” easily in shipping, and yet It retains the
flattened ends, which by many is considered as giving good ap-
pearance and also permits compact placing in basket or crates.
These Melons are rather small in size, quite flattened in form,
heavily ribbed and netted, flesh light green and the sweetest of
its class. Very productive, bears for a long time and is a sure
cropper. Price, pkt. 5c. See ^lue Sheet for Prices.

Netted Gem. One of the earliest and best small, or
basket Melons. Oval in shape, uniform in size; the skin is
green, turning to a peculiar gray color when the Melon is fit for
shipping, and when ripe, has a silver-colored netting which is
lace-like in appearance. Flesh light green in color, thick and
meaty, so sweet and delicious that it can be eaten close to the
rind. Has a small seed cavity and the portion of flesh im-
mediately around it is slightly tinged with yellow. Weight
about pounds and very solid and firm. Exceedingly produc-
Miller’s Cream tive. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Rocky Ford. This variety has proven to be one of the most valuable of the Musk Melon family. Its size, shape
and quality exactly suit the epicure. It somewhat resembles the Netted Gem but is more oval in shape. Melons
average about 5 inches in length. The vines are exceedingly healthy and vigorous, bearing an enormous quantity of
fruit during the entire season. The color of the skin is of rich greenish-gold; the netting is prominent and light color;
very attractive in appearance. The flesh is very deep, ripening clear to the rind, very solid, yet thoroughly melting,
and has an exceptionally small seed cavity. It is very sweet and delicious in flavor. Our seed is carefully selected
and can be depended upon to produce satisfactory results. Price, pkt. 5c, See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Montreal Market. A very large fruited variety of superior quality. Nearly round in form, slightly flattened at
the ends with very large, heavy ribs. Dark green skin, thickly covered with heavy netting. Flesh is two inches
thick, light green and delicious. The finest variety for the home garden and handsomest of Musk Molons for exhibi-
tion purposes. The vines are thrifty in growth, very prolific, and fruit matures extremely early and are always of
superb quality. These are the melons that are grown so extensively on the isUnd of Montreal and command such high
prices on the Eastern markets. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

MUSK MELONS, Red Fleshed Varieties.

Osage or Miller’s Cream. Fruit medium to large sized, oval,
slightly ribbed; dark green in color; covered more or less with shallow net-
ting. The flesh is deep salmon color and very thick, there being but a
slight cavity in the center of even the largest fruit. A
favorite variety for the later markets, as there is always a
considerable demand for it from the restaurants and hotels,
where its excellent qualities are highly appreciated. We
give particular attention to our strain of this variety and
special care has been exercised to increase the thickness
of the flesh and to develop the rich deep color and fine
quality. Price, pkt, 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Elmerald Gem. One of the sweetest of Musk
Melons. The skin is smooth and of deep emerald color.

Flesh is very thick, solid and of delicate salmon color.

The vines bear early and are very prolific. For the home
garden this variety is the very best on account of its
superb quality. It is not a good shipper, owing to its thin
rind. This splendid variety has steadily grown in popular
iaver and leads all ether kinds on account of its sweetness
and convenient Size. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet

ONION SEED.

One ounce for 100 feet of drill; 5 or 6 pounds in drills for an acre.

CULTURE. — The best soil for Onions is that which has been under steady cultivation for at least 3
years. A strong, deep, rich loamy soil is most suitable for this crop. The ground should be heavily dressed
with well rotted barnyard manure and plowed a moderate depth in fall and thoroughly pulverized in the
spring, making the soil fine and loose. Sow the seed early in the spring about Va inch deep in rows 14 to
15 inches apart, cover with fine soil and press down firm. As soon as the plants begin to crowd thin out.
Plants pulled at the second and third thinning may be used for the table. The plants should stand 3 to 4
inches apart. Give the Onions the first hoeing, just skimming the ground between the rows, as soon as they
can be seen in the row. Hoe again in a few days, this time close to the plants, after which weeding must
begin. This operation must be carefully and thoroughly done. The weeder must work on his knees, stir-
ring the earth around the plants, in order to destroy any weeds that have just started. In 10 days or 2 weeks
they will require another hoeing and weeding similar to the last and 2 weeks later give them still another
hoeing and weeding as it is much easier to handle the crop in the fall when entirely free from weeds.

White Welsh.

White Welsh. A very hardy, perennial variety of onion, used only for extra
early, spring, green bunching onions or scallions, ready for pulling about time ordinary
sets are planted- Sow seed thinly in rows 12 to 18 inches apart. Perfectly hardy and

very mild and delicate in flavor; IJ inches in diameter and f of an inch in thickness-
For table use and pickling it is very valuable. Price, pkt- 5c. See Blue Sheet.

Southport White Globe. White globe onions command the highest prices when
they are true globe-shaped like ours. Have a thin, delicate, pure white shin; flesh, crisp,
fine grained, snowy-white in color and very mild in flavor. Bulbs should be stored in

a cool, dark loft or shed to dry as soon as ripe enough to
harvest- Price, pht. 5c, See Blue Sheet for Prices.

supply of young plants for early use in salads, etc., and may be
used continuously throughout the season. When matured in the fall
the bulb is solid and heavy, almost round and without neck. The
flesh is crisp, white and of excellent quality. A crop grown under
ordinary conditions will produce bulbs 14 inches around. Owing to
its size the yield is sometimes prodigious, frequently producing from
500 to 1.000 bushels per acre and weighing over 3 pounds each
where good soil and culture are given them. They bottom well, are
free from thick necks, and have produced more bushels of marketable
onions to the acre than any other variety. In the markets they
attract much attention and sell readily at good prices. Our stock is
true American grown seed, being far superior to the imported seed
which is offered at a considerably less price. Its striking size,
handsome an-^earance. recommend it for fairs, etc. Price, pkt. 5c,

See Blue Sheet for Prices.

ONION SETS.

While it is a well known fact that it is cheaper to raise onions
directly from seed it is also true that the planting of Onion Sets is rapidly increasing. Most gardeners now favor them
owing to the fact that they will produce bunch onions to pull early in the spring; also a large onion, ready for market
from 4 to 6 weeks earlier than can be had by sowing the seed, the product of the set being the same as that obtained
by sowing seed, enabling the grower to sell his entire crop earlier in the season, at which time prices are usually higher
than when the bulk of the crop reaches the market. It also permits the sowing of another crop on the land the same
year. Onion Sets also produce good, green onions on most any soil in half the time it takes to raise them from seed.
Plant Bottom Onion Sets for first green onions for table use. It takes 10 bushels to plant an acre. Plant in rows
1 foot apart and 3 or 4 inches between them in the row if large onions are wanted, and 1 inch apart if only for green
onions. A quart or two is sufficient for a small family. We give 32 pounds to the bushel.

White Multipler. These are of a pure silvery-white color which runs up the stem.
The flavor is very sweet and mild, superior to green onions from other sets. They are
enormously productive, frequently producing as many as twenty onions in a single cluster
from one bulb planted; of excellent quality and size for bunching. By mail postpaid in
\ lb- and 1 lb. By express at your expense in ^ lb.. 1 lb.. 8 lb. and 32 lb. packages.

PARSLEY.

CULTURE. — Thrives in a rich soil. The seeds germinate very slowly, 3 to 4 weeks generally elapsing before it makes its appearance; most
tatisfactory to start in hotbed. Sow early in spring half inch deep, previously soaking the seed for a few hours in tepid water. Thin plants to 4
Inches apart when 3 inches high. It is principally used for flavoring soups, etc., and garnishing in its natural state. The moss curled and fine

leaved varieties make excellent edging for flower gardens and are also fine for bouquets.

Champion Moss Curled. A very handsome variety of special value
where used for flavoring, in sauces, dressing, etc., either when fresh or dried.
It is of rapid, vigorous growth, forming very compact, ornamental plants, densely
furnished with strong-stemmed graceful leaves, most beautifully crimped and
curled, finely cut and of that bright green color so much desired when used for
garnishing. The leaves are tender, usually rich and aromatic. Price,
pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Hamburg or Turnip Rooted. The root is the edible

portion of this variety and resembles a small parsnip both in color
and shape. Flesh white, a little dry and having a flavor similar
to celeriac. The foliage is practically the same as that of plain
Parsley. Very hardy and should be cultivated like parsnip.
Price, pkt. 5c, See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Fern Leaved. The finest curled variety and stands the
winter if covered before frost. Beautiful in form and color, in-
valuable for garnishing purposes and table decoration. It is also
suited for mixing with dwarf ornamental foliage plants in the

laoB Moss €iiKk4 garden. Price, pkt. So, See Blue Sheet for Prices.

PARSNIP.

One ounce for 200 feet of drill; 5 to 6 pounds in drills for an acre.

CULTURE. — Requires rich, deep soil, especially for the Icne varieties. The Turnip or
fchort varieties will grew well in shallow soil. Make the soil very fine, *nd plant the seed early as
possible in the Spring in rows 18 inches apart, thinning plants to 3 to 5 inches in rows.

These seeds should be planted shallow. To keep well in the ground over winter draw a
little earth over the tops.

Hollow Crown. This variety is a big yielder and we recommend
it for both garden and field planting. It is an improved sort, producing
uniformly large, handsome roots of stocky form, very heavy at the
shoulder, well rounded gradually tapering to the base, so that they
are easily dug. If grown in proper soil, the roots will be smooth,
free from wrinkles and side roots. The roots being hardy may re-
main in the ground all winter, or may be dug late in the fall and
stored in sand or soil, so that they can be gotten at easily when the
ground is frozen. Frost improves the quality. Flesh is white and
of fine texture, free from core and stringiness, and especially fine
flavored, cooking tender, sweet and rich, rendering it one of the
finest vegetables for winter use. Very smooth and exceptionally
fine quality. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

PEPPERS.

One ounce to 1,500 plants; 2 pounds for an acre.

CULTURE. — The culture of peppers is the same as for egg plant and the
plants need quite as much heat to perfect them. Guano, hen dung, oi any other
bird manure hoen into the surface soil when the plants are ab«ut six inches high,
will wonderfully increase the product and also improve the quality of the fruit.

Chinese Giant. This is the largest mild Red Pepper. Im-
mensely productive for so large a Pepper, enormous in size and
magnificent in appearance. The plants are vigorous ingrowth, and
of stalky habit, seldom more than two feet in height. Well branched
and thickly set with enormous fruits. The Peppers are of blocky
form and of most brilliant scarlet. They grow 4 to 5 inches broad
at the top and are of equal length, divided into 4 or more large
ridges, and indented at the blossom end. All are uniformly of
enormous size. The flesh is quite thick, very mild and remarkably
sweet, without the least trace of fireiness. It makes an excellent
salad. Price, pkt. 10c See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Chinese Giant

Large Bell or Bull Nose. This is one of the most

popular and desirable sorts Plant is vigorous, compact, very
productive, ripening its crop uniformly and early. Fruit is
large, cylindrical very thick, mild flesh; fine for use in salads
and pickles, color bright red when ripe. Price, pkt. 5c-
See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Long Red Cayenne. Late variety; the pods are small,
bright red color, cone-shaped, very pungent. This is an old
time favorite and is used extensively for pickling when green
as when ripe. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Red Chili. An early variety, used in the manufacture
of pepper sauce. The
bright; rich red pods
are abou*^ 2 inches long

PEAS, EXTRA EARLY ROUND SEEDED VARIETIES.

One quart will plant 100 feet of drill; 2 to 3 bushels in drills for an acre.

CULTURE. — Peas may be grown in almost any good soil. The varieties having smoo h seeds can be planted as soon as the ground is in
condition to work in the spring. The young plants will stand considerable frost when well up. The distance between the rows and the seeds in
the row depend upon the kinds grown. The tall varieties require the rows to be 2 to 3 feet apart, while the dwarf varieties may be planted 1 to 2
feet apart. When grown in the home garden, it is advisable to sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, the tall sorts require brush to run upon,
which is stuck between the rows. Sow the peas in a trench 6 inches in depth, covering to a depth of 2 inches; as soon as sufficient growth has
been made draw the earth about the vines. In this way a great deal more moisture is kept about the roots than if sown on a level and afterwards
hilled up. It is best to sow plenty of seed in order to secure a good stand. To obtain a succession of peas for table use, successive plantings
should be made every 2 weeks but not later than June 15th, as they will not mature in hot weather.

Alaska. The earliest, extra hardy, round pea on the market. Seed is smooth and of bluish-green color, which
makes it a very popular variety with canners. It is also one of the most desirable first early market garden sorts. Height
2^ feet. Bears dark-green, perfectly shaped pods which are well filled with peas of good quality. Very uniform in
ripening and an excellent yielder. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

First and Best. The earliest and most even strain of extra early peas in existance, maturing so well together
that sometimes two pickings will secure the entire crop. The vines are vigorous and hardy, 2^ to 3 feet high, bearing
5 to 8 pods, each containing 6 to 7 medium sized, smooth peas of good quality. Seed is small sized, smooth and of
yellowish-white color. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

EXTRA EARLY DWARF WRINKLED VARIETIES.

American Wonder. A very fine, extra early,, wrinkled variety. It is well suited for the private garden and
quite productive. It is a cross between the well known Champion of England and the Little Gem, and has the merits
of both. The vines are about 10 inches in height and bear a great abundance of good sized pods containing 5 to 8

large, exceedingly sweet, tender and well flavored peas. This is the
earliest of the dwarf, wrinkled varieties, nearly as early as the smooth
sorts. The seed is medium sized, wrinkled and pale green, and the
flavor and quality are unexcelled. We have taken great pains in select-
ing our stock and know it to be much better than that usually offered.
Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices,

. NotPs Excelsior. Of all the dwarf peas this is the most popular.

Almost as popular as the early, round, seeded varieties, only 2 or 3 days
later, and surpass those sorts in quality. It grows about 15 inches high,
requires no support, of vigorous constitution and wonderfully productive,
in which respect it excels such sorts as American Wonder and Little
Gem. It bears blunt pods about 3 inches long, containing 5 to 7 peas
of good size, tender and sweet. The most desirable variety for house-
hold use and also much planted for market, because prolific, good quality
and easily raised. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Nott s Excelsior.

Quality Countg

CLINTON FALLS NURSERY CO., OWATONNA, MINN.

Little Gem. This is one of the best, first early varieties for faimly
use. Height 14 to 16 inches. The vines are of dwarf growth and pro-
duce an abundance of round, well-filled pods from 3^ to 4 inches long.
The peas are green, wrinkled, of sweet, delicious flavor and
excellent quality. It remains fit for use longer than the American
Wonder and Nott^s Excelsior, and thought by many to be sweeter.
A most desirable sort and unsurpassed for the home garden. Price,
pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

EARLY WRINKLED VARIETIES.

Gradus. This wrinkled variety combines the finest quality with
extreme earliness; is also very productive. It is hardy and can be
planted fully as early as the smooth peas. The vines are from 2^ to 3
feet in height, vigorous and healthy, very prolific and bears pods fully as
large as Telephone, immense in size and uniformly well shaped, hand-
some and more attractive than those of the first earlier. The color
of the shelled peas is a beautiful light green, retaining this color
after being cooked. The quality and flavor are delicious, re-
maining sweet and tender tor a long time. Price, pkt. 5c. See
Blue Sheet for Prices. ,

Thomas Laxton. This is a comparatively new variety of
large podded pea. An early wrinkled sort of great merit. The
vine is from 3 to 3^ feet high and similar to that of Gradus, but
darker in color, hardier and more productive. The pods are
extra large and long, with square ends and uniformly well filled.
The green peas are very large, delicious in flavor and cannot be
surpassed by any other variety. The Thomas Laxton will mature
nearly as early as any of the extra early smooth peas and we are
certain that the earliness and productiveness of this excellent
variety needs only to be known to make it one of the most popular
sorts for the market or home garden. In appearance and quality
it is certainly one of the best. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue
Sheet for Prices.

Advancer. A green wrinkled variety 2 to 2^ feet in height, with
1 broad, long pods which are abundantly produced and filled to the ends
with peas of the most delicious quality. This variety is used very exten-
sively by market gardeners on account of its productiveness and
the fine appearance of its pods. Its excellent qualities makes it
very popular with home gardeners and canners. Price, pkt. 5c.
See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Horsford’s Market Garden. This variety is very popular
for canning purposes. The vines run very uniform, of medium height and sturdy growth, producing many pods of
medium size and always well filled. Pods contain from 5 to 7 sweet, dark green peas which retain well their color and
sweetness after canning. Price, pkt. 5c, See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Thomas

Laxton.

LATE OR MAIN CROP VARIETIES.

Stratagem. This is one of the finest dwarf, wrinkled peas. In quality it is unsurpassed, the peas when cooked
being one of most delicious sweetness. Vines grow 18 to 24 inches in height, require no branching up, and bears
many very large pods packed with immense dark green peas. Very fine for both home and market gardeners. Price,
pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Everbearing. A first-class pea for summer and autumn use. Vine stout, about 2^ feet high. Pods from 3 to
4 inches long, containing from 5 to 8 peas of rich flavor, very sweet and tender. If pods are picked as they mature
and the season and soil are favorable, the plants will throw out branches bearing pods which will mature in succession,
thus prolonging the season. The peas are large and wrinkled and cook very quickly. Prefered by many to any other
sort. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Telephone. The Telephone has become the leading pea with market gardeners whose trade appreciates fine
appearance and high quality. The vines are vigorous, growing about 4 feet high, with large, coarse, light colored leaves
and producing an abundance of very large pods filled with immense peas which are tender, sweet and of excellent flavor.
It comes into use soon after the Little Gem and is one of the best sorts for either home or market. Notwithstanding
the large amount of inferior and spurious stock which has been sold, no pea has attained greater popularity than this,
thus showing that it has sterling merit. The stock we offer has been carefully selected and is very prolific. Price,
pkt. 5c, See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Champion of England. Very productive and universally admitted to be one of the richest and best flavored
peas. The vines are 4 to 5 feet in height, of vigorous growth, producing abundantly large pods of immense wrinkled peas
that are noted for their tenderness and rich marrow-like flavor. From this wrinkled variety has sprung the whole race of
green wrinkled peas. We consider the Ghampion of England equal in quality to any in cultivation and one of the best of
its seaso:., either for amateur or market gardener. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

White Marrowfat. Gultivated very extensively on account of the great quantities of pods which it produces
and also for canning purposes. Vines grow 3^ to 4 feet high and are of a strong, sturdy growth but the pods mature

CLINTON FALLS NURSERY CO., OWATONNA, MINN.

Seeds of Quality

quite late. The large, cylinderical, light colored pods are well hlled with round, smooth, light yellow peas of inferior
quality to most of the newer sorts. Popular because of its heavy yield and is therefore largely grown by gardeners
and also sown as a held pea for stock. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

SUGAR PEAS.

Melting Sugar. There is a class of Peas little known in this country but much used abroad in which the sweet,
brittle and succulent pods have none of the tough, inner lining found in the ordinary varieties of garden peas; they are
used in the same way as snap or string beans. The best of these edible podded sorts is the Melting Sugar of which
we offer a very fine strain. The pods are very large, extremely tender, finely flavored and are borne in great abundance
on vines 4 to 5 feet high. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

PUMPKINS.

One ounce to 30 hills; 3 to 4 pounds for an acre.

CULTURE. — Pumpkins may be grown on any well-drained, warm soil, but this must be heavily manured, It is best to put the manure
right into the hill. The hills of Pumpkin should be at least 8 feet apart each way, otherwise they may be planted the same as Squash. Pumpkins
are usually a crop of secondary irhportance, and can easily be planted between the rows of Corn or under fruit trees. Net more than two plants
sheuld be allowed to grow in a hill.

Pumpkins are sold in the markets .in large
quantities every fall arid are considered a very
profitable crop. We want every one of our
farmer friends, and that meams all who receive
this book, to plant some of our Pumpkins this
year. Planted with corn two pounds will plant
an acre. Include a few pounds with your or-
der.

Connecticut Field. The common field
or cow pumpkin. If you have any livestock to
feed it will pay to put in a few acres of these.

It is enormously productive, large, orange col-
ored, hard shell. Fine variety. While it is
usually grown for stock feeding it also makes
good pies. Price, pkt. 5c. For Prices See
Blue SheeL

Small Sugar. This is the small, sweet Pumpkin that has made the New England States famous for their pumpkin
pies, **like grandmother used to make.” It is a very fine grained, most deliciously sweet-flavored Pumpkin, also a

splendid keeper all through the winter. They average about 10 inches
in diameter, of a round, flattened shape, deep orange-yellow color;
extremely attractive while growing. Being also most prolific, suc-
ceeding splendidly jn almost any location. Price, pkt. 5c. See
Blue Sheet for Prices.

Winter Luxury. This is an improvement of the old well-
known Sugar Pumkin, and is admitted by all who have grown it to
be one of the very best pie-pumpkins. It is small, about 9 or 10
inches in diameter, but enormously productive and an excellent
winter keeper. Its shape is slightly oval. Its color, a beautiful
deep orange-yellow with very close netting. The flesh is of deep
golden color, sweet and very tender. We recommend this variety as
one of the best pie-pumpkins. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet
for Prices.

Large Cheese, or Kentucky Field. The fruits are large,
about 2 feet in diameter, round and flattened. The vines are strong,
vigorous and very productive. A good keeper. Skin mottled light
green and yellow, changing to rich cream color as it matures.
Flesh yellow, thick and of extra fine quality. Very fine for pies
and also grown extensively for stock. A most popular variety and
sells readily on the market. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet
for Prices.

Mammoth Tours. Grows to an immense size, often weighs 100 pounds. Oblong in shape, the skin is green,
flesh is of salmon color, seed of a peculiar shape. Good exhibition sort or for feeding stock in winter. If you have
any live stock to feed it will pay you to put in a few acres of these. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

RADISH.

One ounce for 100 feet of drill; 9 to 10 pounds in drills for an acre.

CULTURE • — Radishes are grown in every garden. They grow quickly and are among the first vegetables that can be had from the garden
m the spring. Sow on rich, sandy soil as soon in th'e spring as it is fit to work, in drills 12 to 18 inches apart and thin out the plants to prevent

crowding. Avoid using rank manure, and do not sow on ground where Radishes, Turnips
or Cabbages were grown the year previous. A good dressing of nitrate of soda will
greatly stimulate growth and insure tender, brittle roots. Successional sowings from one
week to 10 days apart will keep up a supply. After the hot weather of summer begins it
is better to sow the summer and winter varieties, as they do not become tough and stringy
nor pithy so quickly as the earlier sorts,

EARLY ROUND VARIETIES.

Scarlet Globe. This variety is by far the best for forcing, and
also does well . in open ground. The radishes grow globular in shape
and are of a most brilliant scarlet-red color. Will stand considerable
heat, therefore it is a quick forcer, and the quality is fine, being crisp
and tender. Those who like the crisp little radishes that come so early
will be much pleased with our Scarlet Globe. Price, pkt. 5c. See
Blue Sheet for Prices.

Early Scarlet Turnip. This is a very popular and standard
variety. It is especially fine for forcing and is also one of the best for
the home garden, and largely used for early planting in open ground.
Medium sized, small top, quick growth, bright scarlet color, and a
robust grower. The flesh is crisp, brittle, and of mild, delicate flavor.
Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Early Scarlet Turnip, White Tipped. One of the handsomest of
turnip radishes and a great favorite in many large markets for early
planting outdoors. It is but little later than Early Scarlet Turnip and
will give entire satisfaction where extreme earliness and small tops are
not the chief consideration. Roots slightly flattened on the under side;
color very deep scarlet with a distinct white tip; flesh white and of the
best quality. The stock we offer is exceptionally attractive in its splendid
coloring. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Early Giant Crimson. A remarkable feature of this radish is that
it will grow double the size of other round red forcing radishes and will
remain solid, not showing the least sign of becoming hollow. This
variety develops to 5 and 6 inches in circumference, weighing up to 1
ounce per bulb, or about 4 times the weight of similar sorts. The flesh
remains sparklingly white, solid, crisp and juicy, and of the mildest
flavor. The shape of the roots varies between round and almost oval,
but the bright, deep crimson color of the skin remains quite constant.
For both forcing and open ground culture it is most excellent. Price,
pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Early White Turnip. A medium sized round variety, grown very
extensively for summer use. Has a small top and pure white shin.
The flesh is waxy, mild and crisp. While generally used for outdoor
culture, this makes a good variety for forcing. It matures in about 30
days and remains fit for use a long time after reaching edible size.
Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices,

EARLA^ OLIVE-SHAPED
VARIETY.

French Breakfast.

A great favorite and very
fine for open ground or
forcing. Of medi
umsize, ob-
long shape,

with small top; quick grower. Beautiful scarlet
color shading to white. Very tender and mild.

Seeds of Quality

long varieties.

Long Scarlet Short Top. The long, slender, handsome
colored roots are most attractive in appearance. They are ready
in about 25 days; crisp, brittle and of choice quality. They
reach a length of 5 to 6 inches, growing partly out of the ground.
Price, pht. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices,

White Icicle. A handsome, long, pure white, early radish.
This novelty receives its name from the almost transparent white-
ness of its root. Crisp and tender, retaining these qualities until
the roots attain a large size. Their long, slender form and
paper-white shin are most attractive when bunched for market.
It is exceedingly adapted for forcing purposes or successive sowing
in open ground. Price, pht. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Chartier. This American variety is one of the best for
sowing outdoors. The roots are in good condition for the table
very early and continue crisp and tender until they reach a diameter
of about 1+ inches, thus affording good roots for a long time.
This summer radish is long, cylindrical, gradually tapering to a
point, of beautiful scarlet-rose color, shading into white at the
tip. The flesh is white and of delicious flavor; resists drouth
eflectually. Chartier makes a fine appearance on the market.
Price, pht. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

WINTER RADISHES.

The merits of Winter Radishes are little appreciated, probably because they
are seldom grown and few people have knowledge o' cheir worth. These radishes
grow to large size and keep well for winter or sprin*' use. Sow seed in the middle
of June. Include some of these in your order.

Long Black Spanish. A leading winter variety and one of the hardiest and best keepers. Roots are cylindrical
in shape, from 7 to 9 inches in length; skin blackish-brown, fine texture and firm white flesh. Those that prefer a
long radish to a round sort should plant this excellent variety. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Round Black Spanish. Latest as well as the hardiest of radishes. Roots are round, sometimes top-shaped, 3
or 4 inches in diameter; skin black, flesh white, very compact and highly flavored. An extra good keeper, lasting till
spring and retaining its flavor and firmness all winter. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

China Rose Winter. A handsome and distinct variety and one of the best for fall and winter use. The roots
are cylindrical, 4 to 5 inches long by 2 inches in diameter, largest at bottom, tapering abruptly to small top, very smooth
and of bright rose color. The flesh is white, firm and piquent. Keeps splendidly throughout autumn and winter. A
very fine radish and a favorite with both market and private gardeners. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet.

RHUBARB, or Pie Plant.

Linnaeus.

Rhubarb, also known as Pie Plant, is grown for its leaf stalks which are stewed and also used for pies and tarts.
Immense quantities are now annually sold in all large markets. No home garden should be without it.

CULTURE. — Rhubarb succeeds best in deep, somewhat retentive soil and the richer this is and the deeper it
is stirred, the better. Sow in drills an inch deep and thin out the plants to 6 inches apart. In the fall transplant
into very highly manured and deeply stirred soil, setting them about 3 feet apart each way and give a dressing of
coarse manure every spring. The stalks should not be plucked until the second year and the plant never allowed
to exhaust itself by running to seed. One ounce of seed will sow 75 ft. of row.

Linnaeus. A very early variety of rhubarb that is always in great demand. It
is of excellent quality; large stemmed and tender; bright wine color. A standard sort
and should be grown in every garden. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet.

Victoria. This is an old and standard variety, one of the finest for cooking,
also a good market sort. It is sometimes called wine plant. The stalks are large,
thick, and of beautiful cherry-red color and comes into use a little later than
Linnaeus. A splendid variety for family use. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet.

SALSIFY, or V^etable Oystw.

One ounce to 75 feet of drill.

CULTURE. — ^This plant succeeds best in light, well-enriched, mellow soil, which should be stirred to a good depth. Coarse and fresh
manure should be avoided. Sow early in Spring in drills, quite deep, cover the seeds with fine soil 2 inches in depth, and when the plants are
strong enough, thin out to 6 inches apart. The roots are perfectly hardy and may remain ont all Winter, but should be dug early in Spring as they
deteriorate rapidly after growth commences. Frost does not injure the roots, but before the ground freezes a quantify
for Winter use may be stored in a pit or in a very cool cellar.

Lonif White French. This variety is most commonly cultivated and considered the best in
flavor. The roots are long, white, smooth and when properly cooked form a good substitute for
oysters, which they resemble very much in taste, making it one of the most nutritious and delic-
ious of vegetables. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Mammoth Sandwich Island. Grows uniformly to an extra large size, averaging fully
double the size and weight of roots of the older sorts. The flavor is sweet and highly esteemed
whether served boiled with butter or other suitable sauce, or sliced and firied, or used in soup.
Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

SPINACH.

CULTURE. — Spinach is best developed and most tender and succulent when grown in rich soil. Sow in drills 12
to 18 inches apart and thin out to about 6 inches apart in the row when the leaves are an inch wide. All should be cui
before hot weather, while young and tender. For early Spring use sow early in Autumn and protect the plants with lighj
covering of leaves or straw, or plant as soon as the land can be worked in the Spring. Under favorable conditions the
leaves may be large enough to eat in eight weeks.

Round Thick Leaved. A desirable variety for early spring sowing. Grows rapidly,
forming clusters of very large, slightly crumpled leaves of
dark green color and good quality- Extensively used for
market and home garden- Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet.

Longr Standing. An improved, round, seeded strain of
excellent quality; quickly matures and remains in condition
for use much longer than most sorts- Leaves smooth, very
dark, rich green. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet.

Prickly W^inter. This variety is very hardy and withstands severe weather
especially well. The plant is very vigorous and yields a large quantity of medium
sized leaves of rich green color- It is usually planted in the fall but is also well
adapted for spring use. Price, pkt- 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Bloomdede or Savoy Leaved. The earliest variety and one of the best
to plant in autumn for early spring use. The plant is of upright
growth, with thick, glossy, dark green leaves, pointed but quite
broad, and crumpled or blistered like those of Savoy Gabbage-
it is hardy and grows rapidly to a suitable size for use, running to
seed quickly in warm weather. This variety is used almost exclu-
sively by market gardeners. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet.

New Zealaind. Entirely different from the true spinach in
type and in that it thrives during hot weather and in any soil,
rich or poor. The tender shoots are of good quality and may be
cut through the entire summer. Plant 3 to 4 seeds in hills 2
feet apart each way. Germination of the seed can be hastened by
soaking them in warm water 24 hours. Price, pkt. 5c- See

SQUASH, Summer Varieties.

One ounce for 50 hills; 3 to 4 pounds in hills for an acre.

Squash is one of the most nutritious and valuable of all garden vegetables. The ©ummer varieties come to the table early in the season,
while the Winter sorts can be had in perfection from August until the Summer varieties are again in condition. Few farmers appreciate the value
of Winter Squash as food for stock. We think an acre of Squash, costing no more to cultivate and much less to harvest, will usually give as much
food available for feeding stock as an acre of corn and we strongly urge our
readers to try a “patch” for this purpose.

CULTURE. — Squash plants are tender and sensitive to cold, therefore,
planting must be delayed until settled warm weather. Any good rich soil is
adapted to the growing of Squash. The Summer varieties should be planted 4
to 6 feet apart each way and the Winter sorts 8 to 10, and 3 plants are sufficient
for a hill. For those that desire very early Squashes, the seed can be planted in
boxes, and transplanted. In gathering the Winter sorts care should be taken
not to bruise or break the stem from the Squash, as the slightest injury will in-
crease the liability to decay. Winter Squashes should be stored in a moderately
warm, dry place and the temperature kept as even as possible.

Early Summer Crookneck. The old standard sort; very
productive and matures the bulk of its crop very early. When
fully grown the fruits are about one foot long, with crooked neck
and surface uniformly warty; color, bright yellow; shell very hard
when ripe- Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Early White Bush Scalloped, Pattypsm or Cymling.

A very early variety -with flat, creamy white skin. The fruits
are from 4 to 6 inches in diameter. The vine is of bush growth
and rather dwarf. Flesh is thick and of very fine quality. Will
bear throughout the season if fruits are kept gathered. An ex-
cellent sort for the home garden for early use- Price, pkt. 5c.

See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Early Summer Crookneck

SQUASH, Fall and Winter Varieties.

Sweet Potato Squash.

Sweet Potato Squash. A variety that is becoming very
popular- It is a winter squash like the Hubbard. It has one
outstanding feature that places it in a class by itself, that is
quality. Should be planted in every garden. Price, pkt. 5c.
For quantity see Blue Sheet.

Hubbard. This old and popular favorite is still one of
the very best winter Squashes grown- The shell is hard, strong
and dark green in color. Flesh bright orange-yellow, fine
grained, very dry. sweet and richly flavored; keeps well through
the winter, boils or bakes exceedingly dry and is esteemed by
many to be as good when baked as sweet potato. The vines are
strong, of luxuriant growth and very productive, yielding large,
heavy Squashes- weighing from 10 to 15 pounds each. When
properly stored it will keep from September to May. Our stock
is carefully selected in regard to quality of the flesh and color of
the shell. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Golden Hubbard. Vine vigorous and wonderfully pro-
ductive- Fruits very uniform in size, weighing 6 to 8 pounds
and in shape like the Hubbard, although in condition for use

warty.

luch earlier. They are exceptionally good keepers and can be held

over in good condition for Spring use-
and of a beautiful orange-red color, ex-
cept for a bit of olive-green on the
blossom end. flesh deep orange, dry. fine
grained and exceedingly well flavored.
Price, pkt. 5c - See Blue Sheet.

Mammoth Chilli. A very large fruited
variety. It often attains an enormous size,
reaching a weight of 200. sometimes 300
pounds and even mora. It is especially desirable for
stock feeding and exhibition purposes. For feeding cows
it is best to cut them up. mixing them with ground feed.
In feeding to swine, all that is necessary is to break the
Squases open and they will help themselves. As the yield
per acre will run from 8 to 15 tons, it will thus produce
a very cheap and nutritious feed- The shin is quite
smooth, but with broad open netting and of a rich orange-
yellow color. Flesh very thick, of a rich yellow coloring;
fine grained and sweet. These Squashes carry off the
prize at nearly every show where they are exhibited.

TOMATO.

One ounce for 1,500 plants: quarter pound to transplant an acre.

CULTURE. — Tomatoes do best on light, wann, not too rich soil and auccess depends largely upon securing a rapid, vigorous and unchecked
growth during the early part of the season. Sow in hot beds from 6 tc 8 weeks before they can be set out doors, when danger from frost is past;
when the plants have 4 leaves transplant into shallow boxes or cold frames, setting them 4 to 5 inches apart; give plenty of air and endeavor to
secure a vigorous but steady and healthy growth, so that at the time of setting iu the open ground they will be strong and stocky. Even a slight
check while the plants are small will materially diminish their productiveness. Set out of doors as soon as danger from frost is over, but before
doing so harden off the plants by gradually exposing them to the night air and by the withdrawal of water until the wood becomes hard and the
leaves thick and of a dark green color. Transplant carefully and cultivate well as long as the vines will permit. When the plants are 6 to 10
inches high select the largest and most vigorous branch and pinch off all others except this one and the stem. Care should be taken in doing this
and not pinch off the fruiting branches which are distinguished by buds forming on them very early. The vines should be tied to a trellis or to
stakes as this improves the quality of the fruit.

Chalk’s Early Jewel. The largest and smoothest of the extra early Tomatoes. Somewhat later, a week or ten
days, than Earliana but a heavier cropper. The plants are of bushy, compact growth, heavily loaded with fruit.

The Tomatoes are of good size,
very solid and almost round,
color, bright scarlet, ripening
to the stem without cracks or
green core. Flesh thick, solid,
excellent flavor, with few seeds.
The shin is strong enough to
make this a splendid shipping
variety. Price, pkt. 5c. See
Blue Sheet for Prices.

Chalk’s Early Jewel

Stone. Fruit very large
and deep; bright scarlet; smooth;
ripening evenly to the stem with-
out a crack; exceedingly solid
and firm-fleshed, of the finest
quality. The plants grow vigor-
ously and are very productive;

the Tomatoes are heavy and thick-meated, making it an extremely valuable variety for family use and for canning pur-
poses. Our stock is distinctly superior to most of that offered under this name, being larger, smoother, more uniform
and better colored. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Crimson Cushon, or Beefsteak. Fruit very large, round and regular; bright scarlet color; flesh solid and of
best quality; cells small and few in number. The plants are very productive. The fruit is of fine form and appearance,
and will stand shipping well. An almost seedless **Beefsteak'’ Tomato, and as smooth as an apple. Price, pkt. IO4,
.jee Blue Sheet for Prices.

Acme. Well known and generally cultivated, both for early and main crops. Plants are strc:»g and of vigorous
growth, very productive, the fruit of medium size, perfect form, round, slightly depressed at the ends and very smooth
(never rough), color a glossy red with purplish tinge; ripens all over and through at the same time. Our seed is extra
selected. Price, pkt. c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Golden Queen. A yellow variety of excellent quality. On the table the golden slices make a beautiful con-
trast with the red sorts- Fruit large and smooth, color a beautiful golden yellow, sometimes with a slight blush of
red, as and w«>n shaped as the best of the red varieties and of superior flavor. Makes splendid preserves.

Price, pkt. 5c, See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Perfection. An improved variety with red shin, producing large fruit until the close of the season. Invariably
smooth and of handsome blood-red color. Some canners prefer it to all others, especially those who can the Tomatoes
whole. It usually ripens 10 days ahead of the Stone. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Earliana. This is an ex-
tremely early variety of Tomato,
and produces large clusters of
fair sized fruits which are very
uniform both in size and shape.
We have secured a strain that is
considerably earlier and much
superior to that usually sold as
Spark’s Earliana and we now
offer carefully selected seed of
most valuable first early sort-
It is very similar in growth, but
fruit is larger, smoother, more
solid and of splendid quality.
Both private and market gar-
deners should plant this excellent
variety. Price, pkt. 5c- See
Blue Sheet for Prices.

Seedf of Quality

Ponderosa. The largest fruited Tomato and it is also fine for slicing.
It is of deep purple color, very solid, fairly smooth and considered of very good
quality especially by those who prefer a Tomato that is quite free from acid.
The vine is vigorous and very productive. Ponderosa Tomato is more suitable
for home use than for the market. The crowning merits of this variety are its
• leliciou' fl'-vor and quality. Exceedingly savory and excellent when canned,
very little boiling being required for it to thicken. Price, pkt. 5c. See
Blue Sheet for Prices.

Dwarf Champion. A very popular dwarf Tomato. A great favorite on
account of its dwarf habit and upright, tree-like growth, which permits of close
planting. The vine growth is very compact, strong and stiff so that it needs
almost no support at all to keep the fruits up from the ground. The fruits of

are

very similar to that of
the Acme, the early
main crop variety;
medium large, color
purplish-pink, very smooth and symmetrical, fine quality and
very solid meated. Plants may be set as close as 30 inches
apart each way. One of the most profitable Tomatoes to grow.
It responds generously to well enriched soil. We cannot
recommend this sort too highly for the home garden. Price,
okt. 5^ See Blue Sheet for Prices.

/ Yellow Plum Tomato. This variety is much esteemed
for its use as preserves, fancy pickles, etc. The fruits are
smooth skinned, plum shaped, growing in clusters; averaging
two inches in length and one inch in diameter, of a bright
lemon color, solid ric-:» o. exceiie.ii navor. Price, piet. oc.

Early Ground Cherry

GROUND CHERRY, or Husk Tomato.

(Physalis Pubescens)

Early Ground Cherry. Sometimes called Strawberry Tomato and is a
great improvement on the wild Ground Cherry. Another year only adds to the
popularity of this already popular little fruit. It grows well on almost any dry soil
and is easier to raise than the Tomato, a very prolific bearer and of delicious
flavor. For sauce they are superb, and for pies there is nothing that can equal
them for exquisite flavor or taste. They also make delicious preserves, and when
dried in sugar, are much better than raisins for cakes or puddings. If kept in
the shell they will keep nicely through the winter, if stored in a cool place. No
one after raising them once, will make garden without devoting at least a small
portion of the ground to these little Early Ground Cherries. The plants are of low
spreading habit, bearing yellow fruits one-half inch in diameter, surrounded by a
hush. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

TURNIPS.

One ounce to 150 feet of drill; 1 to 2 pounds per acre in drills.

The value of Turnips and Ruta Bagas for feeding stock in Fall and Winter is not fully appreciated, as they are much liked by all kinds of
stock and serve to keep them in good condition. We earnestly recommend that farmers increase their sowings largely, for we are sure the crop
will be renumerative. There are a great many varieties but our list comprises the best for the garden and farm.

CULTURE.— Turnips do best on new land. Sow early in April, in drills 15 to 24 inches and half an inch deep, or sow broadcast, but in
either case be sure to have the ground rich and freshly stirred. Thin out early to 6 or 8 inches in the row, keep free from weeds so that the young
plants will not be checked in growth. Any overcrowding will result in rough and poorly flavored roots. It is important to get the Spring and
Summer crop started very early so that the Turnips may have time to grow to sufficient size before hot weather causes them to become tougb and
bitter. August sowings may be made for the Fall crop, at which season they grow best.

Purple Top White Globe. A large, handsome, globe-shaped
variety; white flesh, fine-grained, tender and sweet, surface color, white
with purple top; a true table Turnip and one of the best; extensively
grown and pitted for Fall and Winter, being a good keeper, and pro-
duces enormous crops. Price, pht. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Purple Top, Strap Leaved. The standard for this part of the
country for late planting, and we sell large quantities of it every year.
One of the best table and stock Turnips on the market, being fine
grained and of mild flavor. Will do well to sow either broadcast or in
drills, and will form good sized bulbs in 7 or 8 weeks. Rather flat
and medium size. Color purple above ground, white below; flesh
white, fine grained and tender. A good cropper and an excellent
keeper. If you have never tried our strain of this popular Turnip we
advise you to plant some of it this year. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue
Sheet for Prices.

Extra Early White Milah^ An extra early variety. The bulb
forms very rapidly making but few and very small leaves. It is eminently
adapted for early Spring and Summer planting, and if sown at monthly
intervals will furnish a continuous supply of the most tender and deli-
cately flavored Turnips. The root is of medium size, very handsome,
smooth and of a clear ivory-white both inside and out. The flesh is fine
grained, tender and of mild, sweet flavor. It never becomes pithy or
stringy. It will undoubtedly find a welcome in all gardens, as. in addi-
tion to the heavy crop assured by its adaptability for close planting, it
will be found to be fit for use at least a week earlier than any other
white variety in cultivation. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet.

Purple Top White Globe. Early Snowball. The finest white-fleshed, ball-shaped, early

table Turnip; bulbs small, smooth and round, with white skin and
sparkling white flesh, crisp, tender and sweet. It is a fitting companion to the yellow fleshed Golden Ball, equally as
early, maturing in 6 weeks from sowing. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Golden Ball or Orange Jelly. One of the most delicious of the Turnip family and is the finest yellow fleshed
early table variety that we know of. forming a handsome, small, round bulb with deep yellow color while the table
qualities are unsurpassed. Texture, fine grained and tender; flavor, sweet and rich. It is of quick growth and adapted
for spring and summer or early autumn planting. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

TOBACCO.

CULTURE. — Sow the seed for plants early in spring in frames or
seed beds. When the plants are large enough in June, set them out in
highly manured soil in rows SVi feet apart and 3 feet between the plants and
give cultivation same as for corn. One ounce will sow a bed of 50 sq. yards.

Connecticut Seed Leaf. This Tobacco is best adapted
to northern climatic conditions, as it is hardier, endures the
cold and matures its crop earlier than any other variety. - It
is largely grown for fillers and is one of the best known varie-
ties. Very productive. It is not generally known that tobacco
can be successfully grown in the west and north, but our
Connecticut Seed Leaf can be grown successfully anywhere
in this territory. A year's supply of good smoking tobacco
can be easily produced on a small plot of ground. Try it.
Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Comstock Spanish. It is an acknowledged fact by all
tobacco experts that Comstock Spanish Tobacco is the equal,
if not superior to many Cuban growths. Millions of pounds
of this variety is grown annually. Our Comstock Spanish is
superior to many of the Cuban grown sorts. This variety is
mostly used for binders and wrappers; has large leaves of excellent quality, and more leaves on the stalk than the average
tobacco. The average returns are from $250 to $400 per acre. Try it. Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices,

Comstock Spanish.

The full worth of their money to all is the broad principle in which we always deal, and we refer
to our reputation as evidence that we live up to the precept

RUTA BAGA.

RUSSIAN OR SWEDISH TURNIP.

CULTURE. — Sow from the middle of June to the middle of July, in ground previously enriched with well rotted manure, in drills 15 to 2^
inches apart and thin the young plants 6 to 8 inches apart in the row. When the roots are full grown anJ before hard freezing weather, pull them,
cut off the tops and store in a root cellar or pit. Ruta Bagas are sometimes sown broadcast and left to take chances with the weeds but the crop is
seldom a success, though occasionally on new clearings free from weed seeds, fair results are obtained.

American Purple Top or Long
Island. A strain of Purple Top Yellow
Ruta Bagd of American origin, selected
to a smaller top and much shorter neck
than is usually found, while the roots
grow to a large size and are of the finest
quality and excellent for table use and
stock feeding. All in all we consider
this one of the most desirable sorts. It
has won its place by sheer merit. You
are bound to like it- Price, pkt. 5c.
See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Monarch or Tankard. This is
a grand and distinct type of Ruta Baga
and very popular in England, of tankard
shape, with very small neck and tops;
skin, purplish-crimson above ground and
yellow beneath- On account of the size
it attains it will yield several tons more
to the acre than any other variety.
Flesh is rich yellow, very solid, fine
grained and sweet- Price, pkt- 5c.
See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Large, White French, Sweet
German, or Rock. Flesh white, hard
and firm; a good keeper. One of the
very best sorts on account of its produc-
tiveness and quality. This consideration
should count strongly with stock growers, all of whom understand that quality of the feed regulates the quality of the product.
Indeed, this variety is superior in richness, yield and quality, and is highly recommended for winter and spring use.
Price, pkt. 5c. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

American Purple Top or Long Island.

HERB SEEDS, Sweet, Pot and Medicinal.

CULTURE. — Every garden should contain a few herbs as they are useful in many ways. They thrive best in a rich, mellow soil. Sow seed

Choice Flower Seeds

Most Bowers can Be grown in almost any soil, but where it is possible soil and location should be taken into con.
sideration. Light loam with enough sand in it to make it porous usually produces the best plants. Work the ground
thoroughly and enrich the soil with quantities of well rotted manure. Make the ground as level as possible. Plant
the seed when.the ground is in good condition and plant in rows. Flower seeds should not be planted too deep and
the ground should be pressed firmly around the seed. When sowing very fine seed a covering of well pulverized soil
is all that is needed. Some seeds should be soaked in warm water before planting as there are several hard hinds that
germinate very slowly. There are three hinds of fiowering plants; perennials, annuals knd biannuals. The perennials
live from year to year, the annuals bloom and die the first year and the biannuals usually bloom the second year. Our
aim is to offer only those that are the best and surest to please. We are offering only a condensed list of the leading
hinds. Cultural directions are given on the pacheU and we urge the purchaser to study them carefully.

ALYSSUM.

Little Gem, or Carpet of Snow. A dwarf, very com-
pact-growing variety, that, while only 6 inches in height, each
plant will carpet a circle 20 to 30 inches in diameter. From
early summer until late in autumn, the plants are a solid mass of
snow-white flowers of delicious fragrance. Price, pkt. 5c;

AGERATUM.

Mixed Varieties. For strengthing the garden’s color forces
in blue, no annual is so good as the Ageratum. They grow well
almost anywhere. The plants are neat, bushy and erect, with
continual profuse clustering of pretty, bush-like flowers through-
out the season. One of the best bedding and border plants.
Sow seed in the house early in the season, or, later, outdoors, in
a mellow seed-bed. Price, pkt. 5c.

MIGNONETTE.

Reseda.

Improved Large Flowering. There is no Mignonette which can equal
this. Flowers are larger in every way than those of other sorts. The spikes are
very dense, foliage distinct, being crinkly, while its odor is strong and most deli-
cious. Plants grow in handsome bush form and the flower spikes are borne on
stiff, wiry stems. We offer here the best variety of Mignonette for all purposes,
either for pots or for the garden. Is an everbloomer. the flower lasting until
late in the fall. Seed of this popular hardy annual can be sown at any time, and
if successive’sowings are made, its fragrant, modest colored flowers may be gath-
ered outdoors until October or November. Sow in pots or boxes under glass in
February or March, and thin or pot off the seedlings to make good plants for

beauty and variety of its flowers are unsurpassed. If support is given the vines
it makes a handsome, showy climber, suitable for covering windows, trellises,
old stumps, etc. Amateur gardeners may be assured of a
fresh supply of bright colored, delicately tinted flowers. The

Price, pkt. 5c;

NASTURTIUMS.

A marvelous range of colors has been developed in this
favorite flower, which for three or four months of the season
makes a better display than almost any other plant. No other
annual will produce such a lavish profusion of flowers for so
long a time with the same small outlay of time and labor. The
maximum of bloom is produced in thin soils, and never flags
through the hottest weather. In soils too rich leaves predom-
inate and the plants are apt to rot off in wet weather, especially
if standing too close. Seeds sown in the open ground in the
spring will produce plants that commence blooming during early
summer and continue until frost.

Tall, or Climbing. The tall Nasturtiums are excellent
climbers and unsurpassed for covering trellises, fences, arbors,
piazzas, trailing from vases, over rockwork. etc. Nothing can
equal the gorgeous effect produced by their marvelous quantities
of bloom, borne in uninterrupted splendor from early summer
until cut down by frost. Their ease of culture and rapidity of
luxuriant growth. 4 to 6 feet high, render them worthy of great
popularity. The seed pods can be gathered while green and

NICOTIANA.

Most showy and profuse-flowering garden annuals, giving a continuous display of brilliant flowers through the sum-
mer and autumn; easily grown from seed, commencing to bloom in a few weehs from sowing, thriving in a sunny position
in any good garden soil. The plants, of branching, bushy habit, 2 to 3 leet high, carry the flowers in clusters, the
whole being literally ablaze with them, thousands being borne on a single plant during the season; the glorious effect
in the garden is unsurpassable.

Affinis. The popular free-flowering variety; fragrant star-shaped white flowers; annual, 3 feet high. Price, pht. 5c*

Sanderae. This beautiful hybrid Nicotiana forms bushy, very branching plants 2 feet high, the whole plant laden
with flowers from the base to the summit — literally ablaze with handsome carmine-red colored, fragrant blossoms, thousands
of which are produced on a single plant. A little smaller than Affinis and unlike it, being in full bloom during the day.

LOBELIA.

Erinus Compacta.

Mixed Colors. Very charming little plants that bloom very quickly from seed and continue gay with flowers all
through the season. For beds, edgings, baskets and pots, there. is nothing prettier; their exceedingly clear, cherry
colors and generous bloom make them welcome anywhere. Half hardy annual; usually about 6 inches high. Price, pht. 5c.

ORNAMENTAL GOURDS.

Mixed. These are desirable for many places where
an immense amount of vine is wanted quickly. Most veri-
ties are good for 25 to 30 feet in a season, and the blossoms
of some are quite striking and handsome. With all hinds
the fruit is unique and ornamental, and often useful.
The small, fancy Gourds are excellent toys for the children,
while the larger ones may be used as dippers, sugar bowls,
etc. Price, pht. 5c;

PANSIES.

Pansies, ever beautiful, were never as much so as
now, and it is doubtful if they will be improved upon. It
is one of the most interesting classes of flowers grown, and
for outdoor decoration or house culture but few plants are
its equal. Pansies do best in very rich, moist soil and cool,
moist atmosphere. A situation sheltered from high winds
and exposed to the morning sun is most favorable and fre-
quent sprinklings are advantageous. Seeds sown in April
or May will produce blooming plants by the last of June,
which will give an abundance of flowers throughout the re-
mainder of the season. About the middle of August is the
best time for starting Pansy seeds for early spring blossom-
ing, as this allows the plants to go into winter in vigorous
condition.

Petunia,
Giant Double
Fringed.

PETUNIAS.

Petunias are of tne easiest culture and the freest bloomers
of all our annuals. They rank with Asters, Phlox and Verbenas
and are unsurpassed for beds and masses, borders, window-
boxes, baskets and vases. They will grow in almost any soil
and bloom profusely through long drouths, and will produce
their handsome, sweet-scented flowers in their delicate and
gorgeous colors from earliest summer until hard frost hills them
off in the fall. The modern improved varieties are very choice,
having been wonderfully brought up from the same species that
were grown thirty years ago. There is no other flower that will
produce such bright effects and retain freshness for so long a
period. Plant in a warm, open, sunny place. Seeds may be
sown directly in the open ground or the plants may be started
in pots indoors for early results. The plants are tender and
should not be trusted in the open until settled weather. Thin
to 18 inches apart. When well started they grow almost as
easily as weeds. Petunias are easily grown under glass in
winter. The best method is to sow seeds in late summer or

ly tall and grow stock plants in pots, but old plants can be lifted on the

approach of cold weather, cut bach and taken inside for winter bloom.
Tfese make good house plants and will bloom all winter.

Giant Double Fringed, Mixed.

These Petunias are as large as Holly-
hocks. The Double Petunias are great
favorites for pot culture in ordinary windows. It is well known that only a
small portion of the double strain bear double flowers. The reason of this
is the fact that the seed must be selected from the single flowers, the
double ones not producing seed. The single flowers must be pollinated
with pollen from double ones. This mixture, however, is notable for the
rich colors and large size flowers which are beautifully striped, bloched,
vained, marginated, etc. Not all will come true, but a large portion
of our strain will come double. Price, pkt. 25c.

Large Flowering Single, Mixed. A strain of incomparable
beauty, size and luxuriance. Most of the flowers are exquisitely ruffled
or fringed on the edges. Our mixture contains an excellent variety of
rich and gorgeous colors, and lovely, delicate shades. The markings,
veinings, blotches and stripings are the most grotesque. Price, pkt. 10c.

PHLOX DRUMMONDII.

Large Flowering Mixed, The Phloxes are certainly among the
most showy and easily managed of our hardy annuals. They are dazzling
in effect, particularly so when sown in masses or ribbon beds of con-
trasting colors. There are but few flowers so easily grown from seed, so pretty and compact in habit, so quick to
bloom, or give such a brilliant display of color for so little expense and care. There are few desirable colors beyond
their range, and, if given plenty of water, they will furnish a long supply of delicate flowers for cutting. For pot
culture; as trailers, and as undergrowth for tall, bare-stemmed plants they are also valuable. For early plants the

seed should be sown in boxes in the house and transplanted in open
ground as soon as the weather will permit. In transplanting, set them
about a foot apart; if planted too thickly they suffer from mildew. Gut-
ting away the seed-pods make the plants more bushy and compact, and
lengthens their blooming time. Our mixture of this grand summer-
flowering annual is unsurpassed for its collection of the brightest of the
large flowering species. Price, pkt. 5c;

POPPIES.

The recent development of these old-fashioned flowers has
brought them into great popularity. Before Tulips are fairly
gone, our gardens begin to be gay with Poppies. A sandy
loam suits Poppies best. and. as their strong tap-roots are
difficult to transplant, it is well to sow seed where the plants
are to bloom. Sowing made in fall and at intervals in spring,
will provide a long succession of flowers. Sow thinly, cover-
ing lightly, as the seed is quite small; thin plants to stand a
foot apart. The best plants are those grown from early
sowings while the earth is cool and moist.

Shirley. This magnificent strain of Poppy affords during
a long season flowers of the most charming delicate shades of
colors imaginable. Some petals are crimped, some wavy. The
flowers are exceedingly graceful and lend themselves readily to
bouquets. If cut before the blooms are expanded they will keep
fresh in water for several days. Price, pht. 10c;

Oriental. For brilliancy of color there is nothing to
equal these Oriental Poppies. The flowers often measuring
over 6 inches in diameter, while the colors range from soft
flesh and rose to the most dazzling scarlet and richest maroon
purple. These Poppies are perfectly hardy, living through
the winters with but little protection, increasing in size and
beauty from year to year. Price, pkt. 10c.

strain the large flower spikes are decidedly superior in size of
bloom and brilliancy of coloring. Hardy annual, about 20 inches

high. Price, pkt. 5c.

marbled and pencilled. Our strain is a notable
improvement on the ordinary variety in that the
plants are most compact in growth and the flowers
are much larger in size and more richly colored and
very singularly beautiful veinings of gold. These
are the only flowers, to our knowledge, that show
a glint of gold in their coloring. Sow seed in the
house, and as they are rather delicate about being
transplanted the young plants should be well hard-
ened off or placed in small pots, so that no check
may be experienced when set out in the garden.

culture. Such plants naturally have many uses; we find them
unsurpassed for bedding, edgings, pot-culture, house or conser-
vatory decoration and for cutting. To secure fine early flowers,
sow under glass in March or April, transplanting the seedlings
when an inch high into other pots or boxes, or into fine soil spread
over some discarded hotbed. In showery May weather, transfer
to garden beds of deep, rich soil, setting the plants about a foot

There is no flower grown that is more admired
by all than the Sweet Pea, with its dainty colors and
delicate perfume. For bouquets, vases, corsage and
buttonhole wear, they are invaluable- Through the
shill of specialists it has become a much larger and
lovelier flower than before it became so popular. The
plants are more robust, dwarf, branching, and bloom
more freely- For garden decoration it is now largely
grown in clumps, and in separate colors. Our list
includes most of the best hinds introduced to date
and we recommend them unreservedly.

Culture. Early in spring mahe a trench about
4 inches deep in rich mellow soil, so arranged that no
water can stand in it and plant the seed in the bottom, covering
no more than 2 inches. Sweet Peas, particularly the white
seeded sorts, are often a little difficult to start- If the soil is too
dry they will remain a long time without germinating; if it is too
wet and cold they will not sprout at all. In soils at all heavy,
or composed largely of clay, put about 1 inch of sand in the
bottom of the trench and sow the seed on this, covering with
more sand. Cover the row with a board to shed the rain and
protect the soil from the hot sun but remove this as soon as the
young plants appear. When the plants are about 5 inches high
gradually fill up the trench and furnish some support for the
vines to run upon. Brush is really the only good support, and
wire trellis should only be used when brush is not available.
The rows of Sweet Peas should run from east to west to give them
full exposure to the sun all day. The roots should not be allowed
to become too dry. Water applied thoroughly about once a
week is usually better than light sprinkling more frequently.
Just as soon as the flowers appear, they must be picked every
day carefully, and not allow a single one to go to seed, as this
ivould stop the further production of flowers. When the plants begin to bloom, an application of Nitrate of Soda dis-
solved in water at the rate of 1 ounce to 5 gallons (applied to the soil only) will aid materially in increasing the crop
ind also the size of the flowers. One pound of seed for 100 foot row.

VERBENA.

Finest Mammoth Mixed. The Verbena has been wonder-
fully improved during the past fifty years in form and size of flower
truss and thrives particularly well in American soil. For vases
in beds on the lawn, for borders, mounds, vases and window boxes
there is no plant that excels it. and it is frequently used for an
undergrowth to tall plants like lilies. If sown in open ground in
May they will bloom in August, but if started in the house in pots
in winter they will flower sooner and maybe had in constant bloom
from June even until after the early light frosts. Soak seed in
lukewarm water before planting and take care that the soil is very
rich. Verbenas can be grown from cuttings, but seedlings are more vigorous and produce more flowers, all being
showy and often the clusters have a delicate fragrance. In rich soil, single plants of this pretty annual creeper,
flowering the first season, will carpet a space 3 to 4 feet in diameter with neat foliage and scores of fine flower umbels.

Our seed will produce healthy plants, with large flowers of fine colors. Price, pkt. 10c;

WILD CUCUMBER \TNE.

Echinocystis.

A well known vine, common in many sections, and the quickest climber

known for covering varandas, old trees and houses, trellises, etc., never

suffering from the heat but retaining its fresh and lively green color, never
infested with insects, and
bloom, and by midsummer
are covered with large sprays of small white
flowers. Price, pkt. 5c;

ZINNIAS.

Youth and Old Age.

Finest Mixed. One of the most state-
ly and showy border plants, with large double
imbricated flowers which, when fully ex-
panded. might easily be mistaken for dwarf
Dahlias. Few flowers are so easily grown
from seed sown in the open ground, or bloom
so abundantly and continuously through the
this hardy annual. Marvelous improvements
have been wrought through the newer strains. During the month
of August, Zinnias are almost incomparably bright. We recom-
mend a free use of them for groups, borders, garden lines and
summer hedges. Sow seed in the open ground early in spring.

Average height to 2 feet. Our mixture includes very choice
colors and produce large, handsome flcv/ers. Price, pkt. 5c;

POULTRY FEEDS. REMEDIES, ETC.

We carry a complete line of Poultry Supplies, including feeds, remedies, etc., which are absolutely the best that
experience can suggest or money can buy. Our poultry feeds show the highest percentage of protein and fat contents.

Our Chick Feed and Scratch Feed mixtures are selected, re-cleaned stock, free from
dust and dirt and are strictly high grade. These feeds are licensed and branded to
conform with the State Food Laws of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and the Dakotas. If
you have never used these feeds, try them and see how greatly the productive capacity
of your hens will increase. It will pay you to try them. We make no charge for bags.
Prices subject to change.

Chick Feed. To be fed the first six weeks. It is essential to the proper nour-
ishment of chicks that they be fed with food that can be thoroughly and easily digested.
Our Chick Feed is balanced to suit the needs of chicks from the day they emerge from
their shells until they are six weeks old. It will raise more chicks than any other food.
See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Scratch Feed. It is necessary that hens be made to exercise for at least a part
of their food to keep them in good health and best laying trim. With this point in view
our Scratch Feed is especially prepared, furnishing the largest variety of pure, clean
grains and seeds suitable for laying hens. It contains no shells or grit. See Blue
Sheet for Prices.

Genuine Crushed Oyster Shell, The most frequent cause of hens not laying is
the absence in the food of carbonate of lime. As crushed oyster shells contain pure
carbonate of lime, it supplies, when fed to poultry, the most essential element, and
greatly aids in the foundation of the egg. Our oyster shells are ground from selected
stock, carefully screened and free from dust. Genuine crushed oyster shells. See
Blue Sheet for Prices.

Crushed Bone. Poultry raisers should not neglect
to use sufficient bone, it contains lime as well as animal
matter. Bone when burnt is of little value, but when
crushed or ground raw supplies the component parts of an
egg — white, yolk and shell. It should be kept in a con-
venient place in the apartment of laying hens. They will
consume large quantities of it and it aids wonderfully in
egg production. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Ground Bone. It is hardly possible to get along
without Ground Bone in raising small chichens and young
turkeys. The development of their frames require a more
liberal assimulation of bone producing material than can
be afforded by the usual articles of food. See Blue
Sheet for Prices.

Swift’s Blood Meal. Contains 87 per cent pro-
tein. May be fed alone or in such combination as suits
the feeder. A pound of blood Meal contains as much
protein as 11 pounds of corn, hence it is very economical.
It is a wonderful egg-maker. See Blue Sheet for
Prices.

Charcoal. As Charcoal aids digestion, purifies the
crop and blood, and regulates the bowels, it is absolutely
necessary that fowls, either old or young should be given
some if you would keep your flock in a healthy condition.
This charcoal is especially prepared for poultry. It does
not contain any foreign matter or anything that will be
harmful to the chichens or ducks in any way whatever.
See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Swift’s Special Beef Scrap. These beef scraps
are rich in materials which make bone, muscle and lean
meat. They insure health, thrift and vigor and satisfy
the natural cravings of the bird’s system for flesh food in
some form. See Blue She^t for Prices.

. )

Alfalfa Meal. This stands at the head as a green
food and should be recognized by all poultrymen as one
the pillars of success in poultry raising. It is the regula-
tor of health of flock. It should be fed freely in the wet
mash. It can also be advantageously fed slightly moisten-
ed. It has a larger amount of protein and has about twice
the food value of any other similar product. See Blue
Sheet for Prices.

New Domestic Sunflower Seed. An excellent
food for fowls. They eat it greedily, fatten well on it and
attain a bright, lustrous plumage and strong, healthy con-
dition. See Blue Sheet for Prices,

Mica Spar Grit. This grit is undoubtedly more
universally used than any other. It is light gray in color
and heavily impregnated with mica and other materials
that are beneficial to poultry. As hens have no teeth they
should be kept constantly supplied with some sharp
material to grind and masticate their food. Mica Spar
Grit is not only sharp and hard, but its properties are
such that it acts as a tonic and contributes largely to the
health and productive power of the fowl. See Blue
Sheet for Prices.

Automatic Chick Greaser. The greatest draw-
back in raising chickens is vermin, it is impossible for
young chicks that are infested with lice to make a rapid.

thrifty growth so as to be profitable to the poultryman. It
is the large lice which collect on the heads of young
chickens which cause them to droop and die; and formerly
the only way to get rid of these lice was to catch each
chick and rub grease on its head; but this slow and tedious
method is not necessary since the invention of the Auto-
matic Chick Greaser. The wick around the upper part
of the greaser is saturated with oil (a mixture of two-thirds
lard and one-third kerosene or black oil) and every chick
which eats out of the pan will get its head thoroughly
greased in a very few minutes. This apparatus saves
much time and trouble and adds considerable to the
profits. Price, $1.25, by mail $1.35.

Wire Nests. These nests are strongly made from
heavy Japanned steel wire and will last a life time. They
afford no place for vermin and allow the air to circulate

Arsenate of Lead, (Dry Powdered). An effective
insecticide for all leaf-eating insects. Especially adopted
for use on tender plants and foliage as it will not burn. It
remains on the leaf longer than most insecticides and does
not have to be applied so often. Dry Powdered Arsenate of
Lead is very economical as less than half as much is required
for 50 gals, of water as of the paste form and produces better
results. Only 2 lbs. is required for 50 gals, while it takes
4 lbs. in the paste form. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Slug Shot. A non-poisonous powder and very
pop u 1 ar insecticide. It
requires no further mix-
ing or preparation, easily
applied and not injurious
or dangerous to animals,
the person applying it,
or fruits or vegetables
treated. Destroys potato
bugs, beetles, green and
black fly, slugs, caterpil-
lars, worms, etc. Effective
for cabbage lice and worms.
See Blue Sheet for

for trees and plants where
insects and eggs effect the
bark, and for smearing on the trunks of trees to prevent
worms from crawling up. This is a caustic potash soap

other adulteration. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

Grafting Wax. Is a special preparation for holding
grafts together while the parts are growing together, and
applying where trees have been pruned for preventing the
loss of sap and where wounds have been made in the

all insects that infest plants and trees. It will destroy the
Mealy Bug, Squash Bug, Oyster Shell Scale and all insects
that suck the nourishment. Is put up in concentrated form,
and dilutes with water from 10 to 30 times its bulk, ac-
cording to the amount of insects on the plant. Also used
on the San Jose scale when in the early stage. Apply
with a sprayer same as our other remedies. For Plum
Curculio, spray Just before the blossom buds open and
the second two weeks after the petals fall. A little Paris
Green added at this time will kill the Leaf Lice, Aphids,
Bugs and other insects injurious to fruit and foliage. Spray
the third time about June 10th, with the plain emulsion.
Woolly Aphis of the Apple. Same treatment as for
the Plum Curculio. See Blue Sheet for Prices.

NOTICE

When wanted by mail add postage.

Bordeaux Mixture. Save your crops by using
Bordeaux Mixture, an insecticide
and fungicide. This has been used
for over twenty years and has stood
the test by leading agricultural sta-
I tions. There is no question about the
! necessity of spraying of fruits and
vegetables. Sprayed crops produce
from 15 to 25 per cent more. Spray-
ed fruit and vegetables sell for much
higher prices. Bordeaux Mixture
controls Apple Maggot, Bud Moths,

Canker Worms, Codling Moths which
make your apple wormy. It is deathly
to all eating insects such as the squash
bug, cucumber beetle, flea beetle,
potato bug, etc. It controls blight.

Paris Green. Warranted strictly pure. Much harm
and heavy loss has resulted in the past from the use of
inferior grades of Paris Green.
In several states Paris Green is
sold only for agricultural pur-
poses in original packages. This
restriction was made necessary
because Paris Green was being
adulterated to such an extent by
some harmless ingredient that
costs less than Paris Green, and
is not easily detected until it fails
to do the work that strictly pure
Paris Green ought to do. Leg-
gett & Brother guarantee their
brand to be absolutely pure and free from adulteration of
any sort. Put up in labeled boxes. See Blue Sheet
for Prices.

Blatchford’s Calf Meal. (A Perfect Milk Substitute.) There is a great
demand for food for calves, which contains in the right proportions the elements of
growth found in milk and which will produce results equal to whole milk. This
calf meal is a combination so nicely balanced and blended that the ealf enjoys
the change and makes a wonderful growth. The expense is much less than milk,
so it is more economical. 100 pounds makes 100 gallons of perfect milk substitute.

This calf meal has been manufactured for many years and all who have used it recommend
iL Every calf should be raised or vealed. While it may not pay to do this by feeding
whole milk at present prices obtained for it, a good milk substitute such as Blatchford s
Calf Meal will do equally as well on half the cost. Milk fed chickens are acknowledged
to be the best chickens, they grow more rapidly, are healthier, plumper, better quality
of meat, are ready for the market earlier and fetch the best prices. You can have these
at less than one-half the expense of feeding milk by feeding Blatchford s Galf Meal.

Customers say it is the best thing for calves and chickens they have ever used. See

CLINTON FALLS NURSERY CO., OWATONNA, MINN.

Our Nursery

WHEN one considers the permanent nature of the planting of nursery stock, whether it be fruit trees
in a small hoiue orchard, or whether it be on a large commercial scale, the first consideration should
always be to select trees that are reliable, and which are backed by a firm of a recognized standard
and responsibility, and one that is established permanently. Trees procured from such a source are
worth a great deal more to a planter than trees which might be purchased for a smaller initial cost, but
which are lacking in the guarantee of genuineness. There is ample proof in every neighborhood that
there is nothing which increases the value of land, and which brings a greater return for a given period,
than does the planting of reliable nursery stock. Neither does it require argument to substantiate the
fact that nothing adds more to the general appearance of a home, or signify the progressiveness of the
owner, than is shown in the practice of setting out a well selected variety of ornamental stock, such as shade trees,
flowering shrubs, roses, climbing vines, etc. We claim to grow and sell only trees that are healthy, clean and well
rooted, trees that will produce 100 per cent orchards.

Owing to the limited amount of space assigned to this department, we are obliged to mention only a few of our
numerous varieties. Should you desire something not listed here, write us, we may have it. We grow only such
varieties as are best adapted to this climate.

[o][o]0

Red Wing. Originated by T. E. Perkins of Red
Wing, Minn. The trees are strong, vigorous, rampant
growers; superior in every way to all other varieties now
being planted in the Northwest. It is a long keeping
winter apple, slightly larger and finer in appearance and
quality to the Wealthy, streaked with red on a yellow
background and shaped like Malinda; has enough acid to
make it cook nicely. The Red Wing has taken the highest
premiums at the Minnesota State Fair for the past eleven
years, besides taking the Wilder Medal at the meeting of
the American Pomological Society at Boston, Mass., in
1903, in competition with all of North America, and Gold
Medal at St. Louis World’s Fair the same year, in com-
petition with all comers. The parent tree bore 24^ bushels
of apples in 1913. Will keep until May.

Goodhue. This variety of the famous Perkins Seed-
lings is a splendid midwinter apple that will keep until
February. It is larger than the Red Wing, has the same
color markings, only slightly more pronounced. It is a
much hardier, more vigorous tree than the Wealthy and
superior as an eating and cooking apple. Like the Red
Wing.it has swept the boards of the Minnesota State Fair
and Horticultural Society meetings for the past eleven
years, besides winning the Wilder and Gold Medals at
Boston and St. Louis in 1903.

Jumbo. The largest of the famous Perkins Seedling
apples, has similar markings as the Red Wing and Good-
hue, is vigorous, hardy and a splendid bearer. It is a
good substitute for Wolf River in size, but superior in
quality of fruit, which keeps until January. The Jumbo
was also of the collection that carried off the Wilder and
Gold Medals at Boston and St. Louis in 1903.

Bayfield. One of the famous Perkins Seedlings
known as No. 124. The tree is a very rapid grower,
bearing large red apples of splendid quality that will
keep well up to May 15th. This variety is destined to be
one of the best winter apples grown in Minnesota and well
adapted for large commercial orchard planting.

Owatonna. Originated at Owatonna, Minn. A
rapid grower, very prolific and hardy as the oak. The
fruit is large, dark red in color; flesh tender, crisp and
sub-acid. This variety bears late and is an excellent
long keeper.

Malinda. An irregular but steady grower of about
the same hardiness as the Wealthy. Is giving good satis-
faction in Minnesota as a long keeper. The fruit is of
medium size, green with blush of brownish red; flesh is
hard and medium fine grained, while the flavor is sub-acid
an<^ good. Bears very early when top-worked on some
suitable stock such as Hibernal or Virginia.

Wealthy,

Wealthy, A Minnesota product, originated by Peter
M. Gideon at Minnetonka. The fruit is large, smooth,
fine quality and is almost overspread with red; very h^rdy
and valuable for a cold climate. A good keeper in stor-
age and is becoming very popular and profitable as a
market sort.

Duchess. A handsome Russian apple, streaked and
shaded red. Is a great favorite because of its rich acidity
and splendid cooking qualities. Bears abundantly, is
hardy and vigorous.

Anisim. Is of Russian origin, very hardy, of spread-
ing habits and a prodigious bearer. The fruit is medium
in size and roundish; color greenish, nearly covered with
dark red, over which is a bluish bloom; flesh white, fine
grained, juicy, pleasant and sub-acid.

Hibernal. A hardy, vigorous, spreading and pro-
ductive variety. The fruit is large to very large, irregular,
greenish-yellow with dull, bronze-red on sunny side; very
good for cooking. Succeeds in most exposed locations and
is popular in the Northwest on that account.

Patten’s Greening. Uniform in size but very large,
„ yellowish-green with dull bronze blush and minute greenish
dots; flesh white. Juicy, sprightly sub-acid. Excellent for
table and cooking purposes.

Longfield. The fruit of this variety is a clear waxen
yellow, lightly blushed with bright red. It is decidedly
attractive in appearance for a yellow apple. The flesh is
white, crisp, tender, fine flavored and of delightful quality.

Okabena. A fall apple, supposed to be
a cross of the Duchess and Wealthy but re-
sembles the Duchess. Fruit is medium in sire,
slightly flattened, very highly colored when
exposed to the sun; flesh is fine grained. An
excellent eating apple.

Northwestern Greening.

Northwestern Greening. A spreading tree, strong,
vigorous, fairly hardy and bears young, yielding large
crops. Fruit large, pale green, sometimes tinted red,
sub-acid and of excellent quality for cooking and eating.

Peter. A seedling which originated with Peter M.
Gideon. The tree is stout, erect, symmetrical, healthy,
vigorous grower and immensely productive. Fruit large,
red, sub*acid and a long keeper. Possesses all the good
qualities of the best sorts and none of the defects so
common to many of them. Is from four to six weeks later
than the Wealthy.

Charlamoff. An early summer variety,
well adapted to the extreme north. The fruit
is of medium size, slightly oblong, heavily
splashed with red and of the finest quality.
Will not keep late in the fall.

Peerless. Originated in Minnesota it has
grown into favor with the Northwestern fruit
grower, being far above all other varieties of
its class. Fruit large, greenish, thinly striped
a dull red; firm, juicy and of good quality.

consin, and may well be classed among the iron-clads; is
a strong grower and good bearer. The fruit is greenish-
yellow, shaded with crimson, while the flesh is white,
juicy, tender, with a peculiarly pleasant, mild, sub*acid
flavor which makes it an excellent cooking variety.

claims the origin of this variety. Fruit is very large,
nearly white; flesh white, crisp, juicy, spriphtly sub-acid;
a good culinary and dessert apple. Nearly as hardy as

CRAB APPLES.

Write for Sizes and Prices.

Transcendent. Very productive, a vigorous grower and one of the
hardiest; fruit medium large of brownish-yellow with blush of carmine;
flesh is firm, crisp, yellowish, fine grained and very juicy; excellent
cider apple. It is also one of the worst blighters and should not be
planted near other orchard trees. Were it not for this fact it would be
the most largely planted of any crab. It is of the most value in the
extreme north and somehow blights less in that section.

Patten’s XX. A new hybrid, originated by Mr.
Patten of Charles City, la. The same being produced
by using the blood of the famous Burbank with the best
of our native varieties. Of large size, fine quality and
firmness and especially valuable on account of its being a
regular and reliable bearer in the North. Mr. Gashman
president of our nursery, and Mr. Wedge of Albert Lea,
Minn., purchased the exclusive right to propagate this
variety. This new hybrid is proving to be superior to
anything now propagated in the Northwest.

Sapa. This fruit is edible and hangs on the tree for
at least three weeks. In the early stages of maturity the
skin is dark green while the flesh is purple. The color of
skin and flesh gradually change until it becomes black.
Its tender shin practically disappears in the canning pro-
cess on account of its thinness. They make excellent
preserves and jellies and are of the finest quality for eating
fresh from the tree.

Opata. This variety presents a gigantic bouquet of
pure white flowers of the most exquisite fragrance at
blooming time. It is a cross of the Dakota Sand Cherry
and the Gold Plum, a large hybrid Japanese variety that
was originated by Mr- Luther Burbank. The Opata is
vigorous in growth, heading low and of spreading habits-
They are excellent for eating when picked from the tree.
The color of the flesh is green, flavor very pleasant and
are early to mature.

Hanska. This Plum does not come into bearing as
early as those of Sand Cherry blood, but has all the good
qualities and very few of the poor. It was produced by
crossing a wild Northwestern Plum, Prunus Americana,
with that of the Chinese Apricot Plum, Prunus Simoni.
It is very large in size, sometimes measuring inches in
diameter, is a bright red with a heavy blue bloom. They
are of good quality for canning or making jelly and are
excellent for eating from the tree.

Skuya. The fruit of this particular variety is not as
large as the Hanska but larger than most of the common
sorts. It is crossed with the De Soto, a Northern variety,
and Red June, a large, early Japanese Plum. The color
of the fruit is a very dark red and yellow and are delicious
for eating purposes. They are excellent keepers and
shippers. The pit is rather small.

Surprise.

Surprise. A meaty variety of Minnesota origin, of
fine flavor, an excellent bearer and keeper, large in size.
The fruit is red, dotted with many minute light spots on
the skin. Tree is an upright, vigorous, healthy grower.

De Soto. A splendid bearer, perfectly hardy, the
fruit being very large, dappled red and yellow in color.
They are sweet, firm and juicy and oftimes measure to
If inches in diameter.

Weaver. A very hardy variety under all circum-
stances, also an early bearer. The fruit is large and
oblong, of excellent color and exquisite quality, freestone
and a good keeper. Equal to the best peach if peeled
and eaten with cream and sugar.

Forest Garden. Hardy and bears profusely. One
of the best plums. They are large and oblong; the color
being mottled red and yellow; juicy, sweet and rich.

Wyant. A very hardy and productive variety; is
remarkably early and a constant bearer. They are purplish
red in color, fruit attains fair size even with a heavy crop.

Compass. 'This perfectly, hardy fruit
was originated a^ Springfield, Minn., and is
a cross between, the native Sand Cherry and
the American Plum. It bears large quantities
of fruit at two years of an excellent quality and
commands the best market prices. The supply
of trees has not been equal to the demand up
to the present time, hence the advisability of
of early orders is suggested.

Early Richmond. An early, red, acid
Cherry of excellent value for cooking. This
variety is one of the best free growers and are
hardy, healthy and very productive.

English Morello. Trees dwarf, slender;
fruit is large, dark red, almost black; tender,

in color but in other respects is almost identioal
with the English Morello.

Beta Grape.

GRAPES.

Write for Sizes and Prices.

iy Beta. Was introduced by the Minnesota Experiment Station and is the
only grape that is known to withstand our severe winters without protection.
No other variety surpasses it in beauty of fruit and is as delicious to the
taste as they look. This variety is emphatically the grape of the people,
the fruit of the poor man as well as that of the rich. It makes little dis-
tinction in soil or climate, flourishing in the humble bach yard of the laborer
as thriftily as in the pampered garden of the millionaire. Our word is, if
you plant but one fruit, plant Beta Grapes. Nothing is better for the money,
nothing quite so sure to grow, nothing more pleasing to the taste. The fruit
is Jet black, medium in size, sweet and luscious.

Concord. This variety is one of the most popular market sorts; is large,
handsome and black and is the standard for productiven''ss. This variety,
like the Beta, will stand our severe winter climate.

. Moore’s Early. Is a desirable variety for both the market and hom<
garden. They are large, round and black with heavy blue bloom; bunchci
are of medium size and of excellent quality; hardy and moderately produc-
tive; ripens about twenty days earlier than the Concord.

Agawam. The berries are very large, bright red in color with a thick
skin. They are very vigorous growers and the fruit is of good quality.

weeks earlier, are larger in both bunch and berry. They are hardy and
productive, good shippers and steadily increasing in popular favor.

Delaware. A favorite dessert grape of finest flavor. Must have good
soil and careful handling to get best results. Bunches small, berries round
and small, light red in color.

CURRANTS.

Write for Sizes and Prices.

Perfection. By the introduction of this new Perfec-
tion Currant we are doubling in both crop and size. This
is a great bearer, resembling its parent, the White Grape,
in that respect. Currants of this variety have been picked
that were nearly as large as the Early Richmond Cherry
and in clusters of ten to twelve on each stem. The Per-
fection was awarded the Barry gold medal at the Pan-
American Exposition, the gold medal of the Western New
York Horticultural Society and the only gold medal awarded
a currant at the St. Louis World's Fair. The color is a
beautiful bright red while the quality is rich, mild, sub-
acid, plenty of pulp and few seeds. Less acid and of
better quality than any other large current in cultivation.

Red Dutch. A standard and well known variety.
The bush is an upright grower, strong and tall, berries are
medium in size, dark red, and exceedingly sweet. A fine
variety for jellies, wines, etc.

North Star. Is superior in quality and flavor to many
of the old sorts. The points of excellence are its hardi-
ness, vigorous growth of wood, early fruiting and great
productiveness. This also is of the red variety.

Victoria. Large, light red, bushes extremely long.
Erect growing, heavily laden, even into September, with
handsome clusters of large fruit.

White Grape. Very large, yellowish white; sweet or
very mild acid. Finest of the white sorts, of excellent

sorts; vigorous and productive; ripens after other varieties
are gone. The clusters are long and berries of large size.

Cherry. Bush vigorous, stocky and compact; clusters
short with short stems. The fruit is large, thin skinned,
red in color. Juicy and fine flavored.

GOOSEBERRIES.

Carrie. This variety of gooseberry, originated by
Hon. Wyman Elliott, is without an equal in America.
The fruit is smooth, oval in shape, and when thoroughly
ripe is of a deep maroon color; is pleasant sub-acid,
tender skin, fine grained, meaty and of excellent flavor.
Good sized specimens meSsuie chree-fourths of an inch in
diameter. It produces from one to five berries for each
fruiting bud, thus giving the Carrie greater efficiency in
producing more abundant crops of fruit than other varieties
that bear only one or two berries in a cluster, and is of
prime importance to every grower of the gooseberry who
is seeking the greatest profit for his time and investment.
It bears freely the second year after planting. This one
feature alone is of great importance and advantage to the
amateur as well as the commercial fruit grower.

Downing. Large, whitish green, good quality and a
strong, upright grower, prolific and healthy with distinct
veins. This variety is free from mildew and is larger than
the Houghton.

' Houghton. An enormously productive, always reli-
able, old variety of vigorous growth; medium in size, pale
green; sweet when thoroughly ripe. Is a very spreading
growei and of an excellent quality.

tirely free from mildew. Superior in size and productive-
ness to the Downing.

Strawberry - Raspberry. This wonderful combin-
ation of the strawberry and raspberry does well in most
localities but a rather moist soil is preferable. It produces
an abundance of fruit on the young shoots, which grow
from twelve to eighteen inches in height. They generally
produce a full crop the first season. The fruit is of a
crimson-scarlet color, very delicious to the taste. They
resemble the strawberry in some respects and the rasp-
berry in others and are splendid for jellies and jams.

Juneberry — Improved Dwarf. Produces fruit in
enorinous quantities that is splendid for canning. In size
it equals the wild gooseberry, is round in shape and bluish
black when fully ripe. One of the most valuable berries
and should be planted on every farm.

low growing, between, the raspberry and blackberry in
size, is very productive and quite hardy. Its bearing
season is between that of the raspberry and blackberry.

•nrpassed for jellie»« eto- The shrub is handsome, orna*

mental and valuable for hedges and low windbreaks. It
is hardy, drought-resisting and attains a height of eight to
twelve feet; has downy while leaves and yellow flowers,
followed by bright red berries which are borne in great
clusters like currants.

scarlet, hangs in clusters and ripens in the fall. The
plant is highly esteemed both for fruit and ornamental
purposes. It makes delicious jellies, etc.

blackberry! The berries resemble immense blackberries
in form and size but are a deep reddish-maroon color.
Yields abundantly for at least three weeks. The flavor
is exceedingly rich and sprightly, melting and without
core. It is of great value on account of its earliness,
ripening as it does at the close of the strawberry season
and in advance of all but the very earliest of raspberries.
They are recommended by all fruit growers.

Horse Radish. It is very easily grown in the home
garden and anyone who has compared the freshly dug

SUDAN GRASS

THE GREAT NEW

HAY CROP

This grass is the greatest forage plant ever introduced by the United States Department of Agriculture. Sudan
Grass will prove of the greatest value in the western and southern states where the rainfall is deficient. The
department also reports that it will produce just as good yields in the central and northern states and will grow
nearly everywhere. Sudan Grass is an annual and dies each year like millet and belongs to the sorghum fam ily. If
sown about May 1st it may be cut some time in July, just before heading out, thus giving time for a second growth to
reach the stage where it can be used for pasture or cut for hay. The fact that Sudan Grass will produce two crops
per year from a single seeding should make it preferable to millet. The yield varies from 2 to 8 tons of hay per acre.
Sudan Grass makes its heaviest yield on a rich loam but has been grown successfully on almost every hind of soil
and attains a height of from 3 to 5 feet. The ground should be firm and well drained. It is best sown broadcast or
with a drill when it can be cut with a mower and treated like any other hay. After cutting it resumes its growth
promptly and in about 40 to 45 days another crop is ready for cutting. Should be sown about corn planting time or
after the ground becomes warm and may be drilled from one-half to one inch in depth. Sudan Grass makes a very
nutritious hay and is greatly relished by cattle, horses and other stock. In feeding value the hay is second only to alfalfa
and far better than millet. For seed production sow 6 pounds per acre, in rows 18 to 24 inches apart and cultivate. When
broadcast sow 15 to 20 pounds per acre. We would like to have our customers try this as we believe it is worth while.
See Blue Sheet for Prices* Bags extra at cost.

Permanent Pasture Mixtures

In order to have the best results from pasture mixtures it is necessary to sow grasses that are
both early and late. In seeding such varieties you receive the maximum amount of feed through-
out the season, as they do not all mature at the same time. In our mixtures we have included
turf forming varieties, giving a good feeding surface. In making our selection of varieties for mix-
tures, we have taken only such kinds as are known to be absolutely hardy and \yill endure the
extremes of our northern climate.

Mixtures for high heavy clay soil. Eng-
lish Blue Grass or Meadow Fiscue, Orchard
Grass, Aledium Red Clover, Alsyke, White
Clover, Timothy, Kentucky Blue Grass,
Bromus Inermus. Seed 25 lbs. to the acre.
For prices see blue sheet.

Mixture for high light soil. Alfalfa, Ken-
tucky Blue Grass, Timothy, Red Top, Red
Clover, Bromus Inermus. Seed 22 lbs. per
acre. For prices see blue sheet.

Mixtures for low rich soils. Kentucky
Blue Grass, Medium Red Clover, Alsyke,
White Clover, Orchard Grass, English
Blue Grass, Red Top and Bromus Inermus.
Seed 20 lbs. per acre. For prices see blue
sheet.

Permanent Hog Pasture Mixtures. Hogs
can be raised much more profitably on
grass and clover, with corn, than by feed-
ing corn alone. The grasses furnish a ra-
tion that contains all of the necessary ele-
ments for bone building, which corn does
not contain. A good pasture will not only
develop the hog, but it will keep it in a
good healthy condition. It is well to seed
hog pasture mixtures with oats or barley

in the spring, on well prepared ground, fall
plowing always furnishes the best seed bed.
The hogs can be turned in as soon as the
grass becomes well started. The grain will
be eaten first, giving the grasses a chance
to grow and thicken. We recommend the
following mixtures for permanent hog pas-
tures: Alfalfa, White Clover, Mammoth

Clover, Aledium Red Clover, Orchard
Grass, Bromus Inermus, Timothy and Eng-
lish Rye Grass. Seed 18 lbs. per acre. For
prices see blue sheet.

Annual Hog Pasture Mixtures. For this
mixture we recommend fast growing an-
nuals, which include the following: Spelts.

Rye, Barley, Sugar Cane, Canadian Field
Peas, Dwarf Essex Rape, Sedan Grass,
Kaffir Corn. Seed this mixture on well pre-
pared ground, if possible on ground that
was plowed in the fall. The seed is either
sown broadcast or drilled in at the rate of
from 40 to 70 lbs. per acre. The seed should
be covered with well pulverized soil, about
three-quarters of an inch deep. The hogs
can be turned in on it when it shows a
growth of about six or seven inches. For
prices see blue sheet.
