Ele EBELING: 





Ebeling’s Lawn Grass Seed 


It Produces a Carpet of Unrivalled Emerald Green and in Four Weeks 
From Sowing, it Is Ready for Mowing 


A lawn made with the “Ebeling’s Lawn Grass Seed” 
is practically permanent. Customers tell us that lawns 
made with this mixture twenty or more years ago are 
as beautiful today as when they were first made. 

It should be borne in mind when considering the 
making of a lawn that the cost of the seed represents 
only a small part of the actual investment. The labor 
cost is usually far in excess of the cost of the seed. 
It is therefore false economy to save a few cents by 
buying a mixture of grass seed obtained from a ques- 
tionable source, only to be obliged to endure the 
annoyance and expense of continually repatching a 
weedy, irregular turf and perhaps being forced to do 
the entive work over again in a short time. 


Sunny Lawn Mixture: 


The Green Carpet of Out-o’-Doors 
PRICE: 1 Ib., 40c; 5 Ibs., $1.75; 25 Ibs., $8.00. 


Shady Lawns and Under Trees 


This mixture is a combination of dwarf growing 
grasses which thrive in shaded places. It quickly pro- 
duces an abundance of lovely green grass where other 
aes fail. Price: 1 lb., 45c; 5 Ibs., $2.00; 25 Ibs., 

9.25. 


Golf Links — Tennis Courts — Polo 
Grounds — Cricket Tables 


For grounds that stand rough usage, our formula 
produces an excellent turf rapidly. Per lIb., 40c. 


A Real Putting Green Mixture 


This mixture has been tried and tested over a period 
of years. Fine bladed, low growing, with a rich green 
color. The greens keeper and the golfer prefer it. 
Recommended also for terraces, embankments and 
steep slopes. Price: Per lb., 75c; bu. (25 Ibs.), $17.00.

Our experience of many years has taught us that a 
well-balanced combination of grasses will give better 
results than a single variety. Where conditions of 
the seed bed are not all that could be desired, the 
chances of survival are much greater than when only 
one kind is sown. We offer Lawn Seed Mixtures com- 
posed of the highest ingredients and in the correct 
proportion. 


Our Lawn Seed Mixtures contain no Timothy or any 
other Grass Seeds that produce only temporary results. 


We welcome the opportunity to make up for our 
customers any Special Formula that they may wish, 
using only the highest grade ingredients. 


White Dutch Clover Seed 


Excellent for use on lawns; forms a close herbage 
and remains green throughout the season. We furnish 
the choicest grade of seed. Lb., 95c; 10 Ibs., $9.00. 


Terrace Grass For Thick Turf 


Ordinary lawn grass will not hold the soil on ter- 
races and embankments, which require a thick turf 
consisting of varieties which make strong roots to 
hold the soil and prevent damage by heavy rains. Our 
selected combination mixture gives you quickly a 
strong matted, velvety coverage. Price, Lb., 50c; bu. 
(20 Ibs.), $9.00. 


Kentucky Blue Grass

Fancy Red Top

Non-Warranty 


We give no warranty, express or implied, as to de- 
scription, purity, productiveness, or any other matter 
of any seeds or bulbs we send out, and we will not be 
in any way responsible for the crop. 


We are not bound for any definite time or quantity 
by the prices quoted in this catalog, and they are sub- 
ject to change without notice. We recommend that 
you order as early as possible.

ny position; quick growing and bloom profusely until hard frost comes.

While the rockery is usually filled 
with Hardy Perennial plants, most of 
which take a year to produce flower- 
ing plants from time of sowing the 
seeds in the spring, there seems to be 
no good reason why the newly made 
trockery should not be filled with 
annuals he first season. These should 
be sown in April or May, and would 
produce a full crop of flowers within 
eight weeks or even less, from time 
of sowing, keeping the rockery gay 
until filled with the Hardy perennials.

There has developed within the last 
year or two a wonderful demand for 
Rock Gardens, and even in gardens 
of comparatively small size, space has 
been allotted to the Rock Garden, If 
you can secure the rocks, it is a com- 
paratively easy matter to fill the 
spaces by sowing the seeds contained 
in this collection, most of which 
would give a full crop of flowers next 
year.

Summer Flowering Bulbs 
AMARYLLIS 


Ebeling’s Giant American Hybrids 

A wonderful strain of new Giant 
flowered Amaryllis, of free-flowering 
habit. The large flowers are composed 
of broad, well rounded, overlapping 
petals and range in colors varying ¢ 
from crimson to orange-scarlet, light 
. rose to white to the richest self-col- 
f orings and combinations of stripes 
and variegations. 


Tuberous-rooted Begonias 


This is an interesting section, valu- 
able as pot plants and for garden 
beds. The flowers vary considerably 
as to form and size, ranging from 2 
to 4 and even 6 inches across. While 
some of the single ones are perfectly 
smooth, others are fluted or distinctly 
fringed. The colors are delightfully 
vivid and distinct. 

When grown outside, should be 
taken up before cold weather, spread 
out to dry, and be packed away in 
boxes of dry sand, and stored through 
the winter in some cool place, yet 
: not where frost can reach them. Be- 

eee fore planting outside in the spring, 
they should be potted and kept inside until well started. They delight in a partially 
shaded location in soils composed of leaf mold, sand and well rotted manure.

EARLY FRENCH FORCING. The earliest variety in 
cultivation and the best suitéd for forcing. Tops small, 
finely divided. The reddish orange colored roots are 
nearly round. When fully matured they are about 2

GUERANDE or OX HEART. Tops small for the size of 
the roots which are comparatively short but often 
reach a diameter of five inches, terminating abruptly 
in a small tap root. Flesh bright orange, fine grained 
and sweet. This variety is especially desirable for soil 
so hard and stiff that longer rooted sorts would not 
thrive in it. When young, excellent for table use, and 
when mature equally good for stock. Pkt. 10c; oz., 
20c; % Ib., 75c; Ib., $2.25.

and handsome roots are deep orange, of medium length, 
tapering uniformly to a blunt point; flesh sweet, crisp, 
tender and of a deep orange color. Although the roots 
of this variety are short, they produce as large a bulk 
as the longer field sorts and are more easily harvested.

for high ground, as it 
is more vigorous than 
the Early Snowball, and 
stands dry weather bet- 
ter. The heads are a 
little larger than Snow-

more leaves to protect 
them from sun and 
frost. Oz., $4.00.

outstanding type either for early or summer crop and 
it stands heat very well. Oz., $4.00.

CELERY 
Sellerie (Ger.) Sedano (It.) 


Culture. Celery seed is slow to germinate, and 
ample time must be given. Sow thinly; cover 
lightly. Keep constantly moist. Count on about 
7,500 plants per ounce of seed, or % pound per 
acre. When the seedling plants are three inches 
high they should be clipped at the top, to favor 
stocky growth, or else transplanted. Celery is 
mostly grown under flat culture, without trenches, 
in rows 4 feet apart, 6 inches apart in row. 


COLUMBIA. An exceptionally fine, early variety, 
is of medium height, but very stocky. Stalks 
are thick, almost round, are of a rich, yellow 
color, and its fine flavor and crispness will please 
SSG critical. Pkt. 10c; oz., 40c; %4 Ib., 


GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING. This is the very 
best celery for early use. It is in condition as 
early in the fall as any, and we have yet to find 
an extra early sort equal in quality and appear- 
ance to our stock of Golden Yellow Self- 
Blanching. Critical gardeners and consumers 
generally depend upon this variety to produce 
their best early celery. Plants of medium size, 
compact and stocky—with yellowish green foli- 
age. As they mature the inner stems and leaves 
turn a beautiful golden yellow, so that blanching 
is effected at a small expense of time and labor. 
Oz., 65c; 14 Ib., $2.00; Ib., $7.50.

CELER Y—Continued 

GOLDEN PLUME CELERY. A large early Celery of superfine quality and ap- 
pearance. Large heavy stalks with a full, solid heart of golden yellow, easy 
to blanch, a good keeper, and always of the crisp, brittle and nutty quality so 
much desired. Shows a marked resistance to blight, so often affecting the 
early yellow strains. Pkt., 10c; % oz., 40c; 0z., 70c. on 

WONDERFUL. Authorities pronounce this the best golden self-blanching celery. 
Matures two to three weeks before any other and blanches in half the time 
required by others. Large, crisp, tender. No strings. Broad stalk, does not 
grow hollow, and all of it, including the foliage, is good eating. Marked re- 
sistance to blight and rust, earlier maturity, superior keeping qualities. It pos- 
sesses a fine, nutlike flavor, and is handsome in appearance. We offer the 
raiser’s original strain. Pkt., 25c; oz., 65c; % Ib., $2.00. 

WHITE PLUME. A handsome very early sort. In great demand as a market 
celery, owing to its very attractive appearance. Requires a short time only 
for blanching. Leaves light green with tips almost white. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; 
% Ib., $1.50; Ib., $3.00. 

EASY BLANCHING. A new variety of great merit. The habit is dwarf and 
compact, with light green foliage which has almost a yellowish hue. It is very 
easily blanched and might be termed a second-early variety, as it is ready for 
use to follow Golden Self-Blanching. Stalks pure white, heavy and crisp. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 65c; 14 Ib., $2.00. 

WINTER QUEEN. This is without question the most valuable variety of celery 
for winter and spring use, even excelling the celebrated Perfection Heartwell 
as a winter keeper. It is thicker and heavier with double the heart of any 
celery. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 30c; % Ib., $1.00. -

SWEET CORN—Is the Supreme Garden Crop 


GILL’S GOLDEN EARLY. Ears 5 to 6 inches long, 10 to 12 rows of yellow kernels 
of good quality, stalk about 4 feet. Season 60 days. A good early market garden 
sort. Lb., 25c; 10 lIbs., $2.25. 

KINGSCROSS GOLDEN BANTAM. This new Corn is bred for wilt resistance, high 
yield, and superlative quality. Matures 4 to 5 days later than Golden Bantam. 
Stalks 6 feet high and usually bear 2 ears having 10 to 14 rows of light golden 
yellow kernels. A most profitable market variety. This Corn when ripe cannot 
be used for seed, however. Lb., 40c; 10 Ibs., $3.50. 

GOLDEN SUNSHINE or IMPROVED GOLDEN BANTAM. Golden Sunshine is 
one week earlier than the Early Golden Bantam Sweet Corn. Very fine. Un- 
usually sweet and early 12-row. It’s the market gardener’s best crop for profit. 
Lb., 25c; 10 Ibs., $2.25. 

GOLDEN BANTAM. The best of all the yellow varieties. Stalks often have 2 ears. 
Ears 8-rowed; kernels broad, tender, sweet, and of exceptional flavor. Lb., 25c; 
10 Ibs., $2.25. 

GOLDEN BANTAM CORN (Burbank Strain). Ready for table use 65 to 70 days 
from planting. Stalk about 5 feet high. Fifty per cent of stalks will usually 
have 2 ears. Ears are longer than Golden Bantam. 12 to 16 rows but usually 14. 
Color beautiful yellow. A market gardener’s favorite. Lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.00. 

WHIPPLE’S EARLY YELLOW. This is a wonderful early yellow corn, either for 
home or market use. The ears are very large, 8 to 9 inches long, have 12 to 14 
rows of deep kernels. Ready for use 3 or 4 days later than Golden Bantam and 
ears are almost as large as Evergreen. Quality excellent. Lb., 25c; 10 Ibs., $2.25.

SWEET CORN—Continued 


BLACK MEXICAN. This corn, when in condition for the table, cooks a bluish 
black. It is surpassed by none in tenderness and is a most desirable second 
early sort. Ears about 8 inches: long, usually 8-rowed. 1 lb., 25c; 10 Ibs., $2.25. 


GOLDEN EVERGREEN SWEET CORN. New variety, extra fine, very sweet and 
tender, and keeps in eating condition longer than most sweet corns. Ten days 
to two weeks earlier than Stowell’s Evergreen. Across with Stowell’s Evergreen 
and Sweet Orange, which is a second early, yellow, very tender and extra sweet 
variety. 1 lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.25. 

EARLY EVERGREEN. We have tested many samples of Evergreen corn that 
were claimed to be earlier than Stowell’s Evergreen and to be just as good, but 
we have never found any of them so valuable as the stock of this variety we 
offer. It has been proven both on our trial grounds and in the field to come 
into fit condition for use much earlier than Stowell’s Evergreen and to remain 
in condition quite as long. Ears about 7 inches long, with 14 to 20 more or 
less irregular rows with very deep grain which is of the very best quality. 
Plants average from 64% to 7 ft. high and in ear resemble those of Stowell’s 
Evergreen, but differ in earliness and we think are more uniform. A standard 
main crop variety for home garden and market; also well adapted for canning. 
1 Ib., 25c; 10 Ibs., $2.25. 


STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. 1 Ib., 25c; 10 Ibs. $2.25. 


COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. There is no sweet corn that compares with the Country 
Gentleman for sweetness. It is the variety par excellence where quality is 
desired. Market gardeners who make a specialty of growing for hotels and 
high class restaurant trade use this as a main crop in preference to any other. 
For home use it will be found superior and it is very productive. The fact that 
it is a favorite variety with canners proves its merit. 1 lb., 25c; 10 Ibs., $2.25.

Cetriolo (It.) Cucumbers came from the East Indies. Gurken (Ger.) 
Culture. Flourish best in a rich, warm, sandy loam. Sow when danger of frost is 
over in hills 4 or 5 feet each way. As the young plant has many enemies sow thick- 
ly half an inch deep, and thin out finally to 3 or 4 plants to the hill. Use 1 ounce 
of seed to 75 hills, 2 to 3 pounds to the acre. Gather cucumbers by cutting, not 
tearing. Leave none to ripen if you want a full crop.

MELONS 


To Fit Your Growing Season. 


Melone (Ger.) Popone (It.) 

The Muskmelon succeeds best in warm, rich soil. 
While both plant food and humus are necessary to 
all plants, all vines require an extra amount. Manure 
contains both, while rotted turf and commercial fer- 
tilizer combined supply both. If manure is used it 
should be well rotted, finely pulverized and evenly 
distributed through the soil. 

GOLDEN CHAMPLAIN, New Melon. Of good size, 
tough rind, very thick flesh, and small seed cavity. 
Color is gray from the netting, underlaid with dark 
green. Flesh a rich golden color, very tender, juicy 
and sweet, fine grained and free from stringiness, 
delicious clear to the rind. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c;

very thick, flat or slightly convex bottoms, full oval 
top with small neck and rich brownish yellow skin. 
Pkt.; 10¢; 0z., 50cs Ib., $5.50. 


EBENEZER or “JAPANESE.” The onions are not 
unlike Yellow Globe Danvers in shape and size, but 
are superior in flavor and keep longer. They are 
firm, solid, have a thin skin, and are agreeably mild. 
Also planted extensively to produce small sets for 
the following season. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 35c; Ib., $3.50.

onions. Flesh is fine grained, very mild and tender. 
PkKt., 10c; 0z., 35c; Ib., $3.50. 

WHITE PORTUGAL. (American Silverskin). This 
is the best sort to sow—for onion sets or for pick- 
ling; sown thickly for either it makes a small, 
round, hard bulb. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; Ib., $3.25. 

AILSA CRAIG. A handsome globular variety, grow- 
ing to an enormous size, with pale yellow skin,

tion purposes. Very fine for home gardens. Pkt., 
10c; 0z., 35c; Ib., $3.50. 

LARGE RED WETHERSFIELD. We have a very fine 
and select strain of this sort. Color is deep pur- 
plish red, flesh white, moderately grained and very 
firm. Yields an enormous amount per acre, and 
is one of the best winter keeping onions. Pkt., 10c; 
0z., 30c; lb., $3.00. 

YELLOW SWEET SPANISH. An increasingly popu- 
lar large yellow variety of Spanish origin, similar 
to Prizetaker, but larger. Globular, with golden 
yellow skin; flesh white, very mild, and of pleasin 
flavor. Prolific and desirable for shipping and fal 
storage. Oz., 50c; Ib., $5.50.

BROWN BOTTOM SETS. Treated precisely as top 
onions are, setting them out in the spring instead 
of sowing seed. Qt., 30c; bu., $7.00. 

YELLOW BOTTOM SETS. Like the preceding except 
in color and used in the same manner. &t., 30c; 
bu., $7.00. 

WHITE BOTTOM SETS. These do not keep as well 
as the brown and yellow, but produce beautiful 
white onions early in the season. Qt., 30c; bu., $7.00. 





PARSLEY 
Petersille (Ger.) Prezzemolo (It.) 


Culture. Sow seeds in shallow drills in the early spring 
for border, or in rows 1Z to 13 inches apart, care being 
taken that the drills be not more than one-half inch in 
depth, and that the seed be well pressed down after sowing, 
as the seed germinates very slowly, 3 to 5 weeks elapsing 
sometimes before it makes its appearance. Use one ounce 
to 150 feet of drill, three pounds to an acre. Cultivate 
frequently. 

PLAIN PARSLEY. The leaves of this variety are flat, deeply 
cut but not curled. Very desirable for flavoring soups 
and stews and for drying. It is a favorite on account 
of its very dark green leaves, as well as its hardiness. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; lb., $1.50. 


CHAMPION MOSS CURLED. This is a vigorous, compact 
growing variety, excellent for garnishing and flavoring. 
A handsome decorative plant. Leaves very finely cut and 
so closely crisped or curled as to resemble bunches of 
moss. Fine deep green color and very attractive foliage. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; Ib., $1.50. 


Parsley was first known in Sardinia. 


PARSNIPS 
Pastinake (Ger.) Pastinaca (It.) 
Culture. Sow in early spring, in rows 2 to 8 ft. apart, 
thin to 4 or 6 inches in the row. One ounce of seed will 
sow 200 feet of drill, four to five pounds per acre in drills 

2% feet apart. Cover the seed one-half inch. Use rotted 

manure and fertilizer. Parsnips may be left in the ground 

all winter. 

IMPROVED HOLLOW CROWN. This really is the greatest 
old-time favorite among the parsnips and has a host of 
friends which it will never lose. It is very smooth, white, 
with a very thick shoulder and tapering down to a grace- 
ful point. One of the best known, none better. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 15c; Ib., $1.00. 

GUERNSEY. (Same as Hollow Crown). Greatly improved 

strain. The roots do not grow as long as the Hollow 

Crown, but are of greater diameter and very easily gath- 

ered. A very heavy cropper. Roots very smooth. Flesh 

fe eae and of excellent quality. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 

Ib., $1.00. 





Champion Moss Curled Parsley 


PEAS 


Your Own Peas Are Sweetest 
Erbsen (Ger.) Piselli (It.) 


For early peas the soil should be light and 
warm, but for general crop a moderately heavy 
soil is better. Fresh manure and very rich or 
wet mucky soil should be avoided, as they 
cause a rank growth of vine at the cost of the 
quality of the peas. Such soil is often the cause 
of early sorts maturing unevenly. Sow as early 
as possible a few of some early variety on 
warm, quick soil, prepared the fall before, plant- 
ing in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart and 2% 
to 4 feet between the double rows. 


EARLIEST OF ALL or ALASKA. Medium 
sized, bright green peas of good flavor. Vines 
medium height, 2% to 3 feet, and of distinc- 
tive light color. Pods about 2% to 2% inches 
long. Matures all the crop at once. Lb., 30c; 
2 Ibs., 50c; 10 Ibs., $2.25. 


LAXTONIAN. A little earlier than other dwarf 
large-podded peas, this variety is generally 
considered the best of its class. The blue- 
green pods are often more than 4 inches long 
and contain 8 dark green peas of finest qual- 
ity. It is especially recommended for home 
garden use. The seeds are large, wrinkled; 
green and cream in color. Lb., 30c; 2 Ibs., 
50c; 10 lbs., $2.25.

PEAS—Improved Varieties—Prolific Yielders 


HUNDREDFOLD. A very fine, large podded, dwarf, extra early Pea, and 
one which we can with confidence recommend. It matures in from 60 
to 63 days, and as its name implies, it bears an enormous crop of dark 
green pods containing 7 to 8 large peas of very tender quality and fine 
flavor. The vines grow only to a height of 14 or 16 inches and are easily 
handled. Lb., 30c; 2 Ibs., 50c; 10 Ibs., $2.25. 


LAXTON’S PROGRESS. Developed by Laxton Bros. and introduced in 1922. 
The largest podded and most attractive of the Laxtonian family. Popular 
for shipping to distant markets, also for home and market garden plant- 
ing. Vines medium dark green. Pods single, % inch wide, dark green, 
somewhat curved, pointed, handsome; contain 7 to 9 large peas of good 
frie Seeds large, cream with green, wrinkled. Lb., 30c; 2 Ibs., 50c;

large, of splendid quality and beautiful light green color which they retain after 
cooking. Lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 50c; 10 Ibs., $2.25. 


THOMAS LAXTON. A very early, wrinkled variety of great merit. Vine vigorous, 
of medium height, about 3 feet, similar to that of Gradus, but darker in color, 
hardier and more productive. Pods large, often 4 inches long, with square ends, 
similar to but larger, longer and darker than those of Champion of England and 
as uniformly well filled. The green peas are very large, of fine deep color and 
unsurpassed in quality. Lb., 30c; 2 Ibs., 50c; 10 Ibs., $2.25. 






Second Early Varieties 


ALDERMAN. This comparatively new pea is in many respects the very best early 
main crop variety of the valuable Telephone type. The vines are tall growing, 
about 4% to 5 feet high, dark green, vigorous and exceedingly productive. Pods of 

largest size, often 5 to 5% inches long, dark green. The peas are of largest size and unsurpassed in 

quality. We recommend it unreservedly. Lb., 30c; 2 Ibs., 50c; 10 Ibs., $2.25.

Later Varieties 


IMPROVED STRATAGEM. One of the best of the large podded, semi-dwarf 
main crop varieties. The vines are very sturdy, about 2 to 2% feet high, 
with medium dark green foliage. The pods are very large, often 4% to 4% 
inches long, pointed, dark green, and uniformly filled with very large, dark 
green peas of the finest quality. Lb., 30c; 2 Ibs., 50c; 10 Ibs., $2.25. 


CHAMPION OF ENGLAND. A very productive variety universally admitted 
to be one of the richest and best flavored of the late peas. The vines are 
4 to 5 feet high. The seed is light green and much shriveled. Very inferior 
and mixed stocks of this sort are frequently offered, but when the seed is 
as well grown and selected as. that which we offer we consider the variety 
equal in quality to any in cultivation and one of the best of its season, either 
for the home garden or market gardener. Lb., 30c; 2 Ibs., 50c; 10 Ibs., $2.25.

TO PREVENT DAMAGE FROM PEA LOUSE. Sow a strip of turnip seed 
about 5 feet wide around the field of peas, which will attract the peauanedl 
and will feed upon the turnip instead of the peas; thus preventing the de- 
struction of the crop. Sow early turnips with Early Peas and late turnips 
with Late Peas. This has been given to us by an expert grower who claims 
it to be a sure remedy. 


Peas are of Egyptian origin.

PEPPER—Sweet or Hot 
Pfeffer (Ger.) Peperone (It.) 


Peppers are most largely used for seasoning meat 
and vegetable dishes; also for making chow chow and 
chili sauce. The culture is the same as for eggplant 
and the plants need quite as much heat to perfect 
them. Sow seed early in hotbed, or about middle 
of spring in open seed bed, the soil being light and 
warm. When 3 inches high transplant in rows about 
24% feet apart and 2 feet apart in the row. 


WORLD BEATER. This is the finest large pepper 
yet introduced. A cross between Chinese Giant 
and Ruby King, as early as Ruby King and similar 
in shape, but broader at blossom end. Almost the 
size of Chinese Giant and far more prolific, some 
plants producing as many as 24 marketable peppers. 
Exceptionally mild, can be eaten raw without fear 
of burning. Color of fruit green at first, turning 
to a beautiful shade of scarlet. Flesh thick, which 
enables it to hold up a long time and makes it an 
excellent shipper. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; %4 lb., $1.50. 


CRIMSON GIANT. The earliest maturing of the ex- 
tremely large, red sweet peppers and surpassed by 
none in evenness of size and shape. The plant is 
vigorous, 244 to 3 feet high. The fruits are of the 
largest size, ripen earlier than any of the other very 
large sorts. Color deep green when young, deep 
crimson when matured; flavor very mild. Oz., 45c; 
14 Ib., $1.50. 


LARGE EARLY NEAPOLITAN. Decidedly the earli- 
est of all large, mild, red peppers and the most 
productive of all large peppers. The fruit measures 
4 inches long and 4% inches in circumference. 
The strong, vigorous plants grow 2 feet high by 
18 inches across. They are heavily laden with large 
handsome fruit and bear continuously until frost. 
Single plants carry from 35 to 50 marketable fruits 
at one time. Skin and flesh bright red; mild as an 
apple. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; 14 lb., $1.00. 


LONG RED CAYENNE. A well known medium early 
variety having a slender, twisted and pointed pod 
about 4 inches long. Color deep green when fruit 
is young, bright red when ripe. Extremely strong 
and pungent flesh. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; 14 lb., $1.25. 


LARGE BELL or BULL NOSE. Our stock of this 
well known variety, sometimes called Sweet Moun- 
tain, is very superior. Plant vigorous, about 2 feet 
high, compact and very productive, ripening its 
crop uniformly and early. The fruits are large, 
with thick, mild flesh of excellent quality for use 
in salads and mangoes or stuffed peppers. The 
color is deep green when fruit is young, bright 
crimson when ripe. Slightly pungent. Pkt., 10c; oz.,

RADISH—the Season Through 
Radies (Ger.) Ravanello (It.) 


The Radish is a native of China and Japan. 


Being a root crop, good brittle radishes require 
light, well-worked soil, made very rich and mellow. 
They are easy to grow and frequent plantings will 
insure a constant supply for the table. Summer va- 
rieties can be sown all spring and well into summer. 
Winter varieties should be planted in August and 
September. , 


SCARLET GLOBE, This grand radish has established 
a reputation as a forcing sort. Its peculiarity is 
that it will bear the heat requisite for forcing with- 
out becoming pithy or suffering injury to its flavor. 
Its color is a rich scarlet. It has a small top and 
is a high bred radish. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; Ib., 90c. 


EARLY SCARLET TURNIP, WHITE TIPPED. An at- 
tractive sort, extensively used by truckers, and in 
home gardens. Roots nearly round, with small tap 
root; carmine-red, with small white tip; flesh white, 
crisp and mild. Should be pulled when 1 to 1% 
inches in diameter. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; Ib., 90c. 


FRENCH BREAKFAST. Olive shaped. A popular va- 
riety for market for forcing. It is about 2 inches 
long and decidedly stump-rooted. Color, bright rose 
with bottom of root and the tail pure white. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 15c; lb., 90c.

MODERN SPINACH 


Spinat (Ger.) Spinace (It.) 


Spinach came from Arabia. 


KING OF DENMARK. Also known as “Antvorskov.” 
This new variety is undoubtedly the most valuable 
introduction of spinach in recent years. Although 
the plants are ready for use almost as soon as the 
medium early sorts they remain in good condition 
from a week to two weeks after all other varieties 
have gone to seed. The plants are of rapid growth, 
resemble the Long Season in type but leaves are 
more crumpled or blistered and are of darker green 
color. The leaves are thick, stand well after cutting 
and are of good quality. We believe this variety 
will in a few years be one of the leading sorts as 
its distinctive qualities are sure to win favor for 
it from both the home and market gardener. 


LONG STANDING, Prickly. A deep green variety 
with rather elongated smooth leaves. Seed, round. 
Stands: ‘a’ long time without running to seed. Pkt., 
10c; 0z.,; 15¢;*14- Ib., 50c; Ib., $1.50. 

VICTORIA. A long-standing variety with round, 
slightly savoyed leaves. Deep green and hardy. 
Forms good, edible leaves early and continues to 
produce leaves for a long period. Pkt., 10¢; 0z., 15¢; 
14 Ib., 50c; Ibs $1.50. » 


BLOOMSDALE SAVOY. The variety most generally 
used in the East, and. especially throughout the 
South for shipping. Leaves large, round and thick, 
very much savoyed and rich deep green. One of 
the earliest varieties. Seed round. Pkt., 10c; oz., 
15c; 1% lb., 50c; lb., $1.50. 

NEW ZEALAND. A plant with thick, fleshy texture 
and soft crystalline leaves. Is not like the ordinary 
spinach in appearance, but it is used in the same 
way. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 15c;°14 Ib., 50c; Ib., $1.50.

SURE CURE FOR FROZEN PLANTS 


Mr. Warden, Supt. of Myrtle Hill Cemetery, Syra-

Planet Jr. No. 17 Singl 
Wheel Hoe : 





Planet Jr. Single Wheel Hoes are light, easily handled and 
do beautiful work. They are all steel except the handles— 
practically indestructible. Handles are adjustable for any 
height. No. 17 includes all the necessary equipment for gar- 
dening-—hoes for weeding and shallow cultivation—three 
steel cultivator teeth for general cultivation—and a plow for 
furrowing, ridging, etc. 


Planet Jr. No. 12 Double 
Wheel Hoe 





Planet Jr. Double Wheel Hoes are almost universally used 
by professional vegetable growers. They will straddle the crop 
both sides of the row at once and until the plants are 20 
inches high. The No. 12 includes all the equipment usually 
required for gardening—a pair of hoes for shallow cultivating 
and weeding, four steel cultivator teeth for general cultiva- 
tion and a pair of plows for hilling, furrowing, etc. A long 
bolt and ferrule are furnished for changing to a single wheel 
hoe for later cultivation. 


No. 2 Planet Jr. Grass Edger 











With the No. 2 Planet Jr. Edger you can edge either 
straight or curved walks on cement, stone or bricks 
rapidly and easily. The sharp edging disc is made of 
high grade steel and will last for years. The tool is 
extremely simple and easy to operate and has nothing 
to get out of order. 


Lifetime Garden Trowels 


Planet Jr. Lifetime Garden Trowels are guaranteed 
not to bend or break. They are perfectly balanced so 
they fit lightly and naturally into your hand without 
tiring your fingers or wrist. The steel used is the best 
and hardest and is further hardened in an oil furnace 
and tempered in an electric one. The bulb trowel is 
extra long and narrow and three notches—3, 4, and 
5 inches from the point to help you plant your bulbs 
at a uniform depth. 


Seed Drills, Wheel Hoes, 
Planet Jr Horse Hoes, Fertilizer Dis- 


tributors, Garden Tractors 


No. 4 Planet Jr. Combined Seeder 
and Single Wheel Hoe 





A combination of the most useful tools for a mod- 
erate sized garden. Plants almost all vegetable seeds 
in continuous rows, or in hills 4, 6, 8, 12 or 24 inches 
apart. An adjustable plow opens a straight narrow 
furrow, the seeds are dropped in it, are covered and 
the soil firmed and the next row marked out all in the 
same operation. Converted into a single wheel hoe by 
changing one bolt. Cultivating equipment includes all 
the essential equipment for hoeing, weeding, cultivat- 
ing, plowing, furrowing, ridging, etc. The tools are 
oil hardened and tempered and will wear almost in- 
definitely. Price, $18.75. 


No. 4D Seeder only, price $14.75. 


HT Planet Jr. Walking Tractor 





The Planet Jr. Tractor pays for itself in many ways. Pri- 
marily it either takes the place of several men or of one 
horse, and it doesn’t have to be fed and cared for when it is 
not working. 


For the general farmer or the market gardener, the part- 
time gardener or the large home gardener, the nurseryman 
cr the florist. The Planet Jr. Tractor with its varied equip- 
ment is designed for all of them and with it goes the great 
advantage of Planet Jr.’s long experience in building the best 
planting and tillage tools. 


Plowing, harrowing, cultivating, fertilizing, mow- 
ing, hauling, sawing, and many other light power jobs 
are the things which Planet Jr. will do. Cultivating 
is the most important because it is an all-season job. 
Planet Jr. equipment includes every type of cultivator 
whether for narrow or wide rows, small or large crops, 
or one or more rows at a time. Most soil conditions 
and crop requirements can be met with Planet Jr. 
equipment and with our patented tool control, fast, 
thorough cultivation is not only possible but surpris- 
ingly easy.

Companionship—Affection 


—Protection 


READ THE BEST TRUE DOG STORY OF 
ALL TIME 


When one fond parent of ancient Pompeii 
gave his child a dog, he little thought that 
the record of their comradeship would go 
down to the future as the finest dog story 
of all time. For nearly two thousand years 
its details lay buried beneath the debris of 
the ruined city. Last century the picks of 
the excavators revealed them. 

Near to the body of a little boy, they came 
upon that of a huge dog, its limbs contorted 
with agony and pain. Still legible was the 
inscription in Latin on its massive bronze 
collar: “This dog has three times saved his 
little master; once from fire, once from 
drowning, once from thieves.” 

This story, which has the merit of being 
true, is one which could be told to any child 
who had a dog. It is calculated to make him 
think of the dog less as a toy and more as 
a chum and protector. A dog will teach a 
child kindness by giving him something on 
which to express kindliness; it will exem- 
plify for him the qualities of devotion and 
loyalty, the spirit of “give and take,” and 
“forgive and forget.” Not all our moral and 
spiritual mentors have such good qualifications as 
teachers of the young.

Maro Meat is an all meat product, used chiefly in 
kennels where meat, muscle building and perfect con- 
dition and ability to withstand the strenuousness of 
the hunting season require richer foods. We use Maro 
Meat at Pet Haven by adding to it water, mashing into 
a thin soup, then thickening it with Chappel’s Ken-L- 
Biskit. We have used this mixture at our kennels for 
about 9 years and have been congratulated many times 
on the appearance of dogs left in our care.

Fighting Fish ‘ LK Ss 
Beautiful Sea Shells 

“T became fascinated with the Tropical Fish—eight large illuminated tanks, Betta 
arranged to give the effect of a living moving picture of water life and beauty. 
Above the display, I noted a sign, “Aquatic Art Gallery.’”’ I was fascinated as 
I saw tiny fish that resembled miniature silver sail-boats as they moved about. 
They seemed too fragile to be really living fish. We were told that they were F& 
Pterophyllum Scalare,’ commonly called ‘Angel Fish’ and native of the Amazon 
River, and cost only 25c each. 

“In an adjoining tank, labeled ‘The Danio,’ were to be seen most beautiful 
silver and dark blue striped fish, brought all the way from Bengal, India, 
darting among the green ribbon-like plants, called ‘Vallisneria.’ Bright red 
snails moved slowly, cleaning away the green algae upon which they feed. 
An armored Cat-Fish, called ‘Cordydoras Leopardus’ was doing duty as a 
scavenger by finding food and vegetation off the bottom of the aquarium. 

“Another fish, a most colorful one, was ‘Betta Splendens’ or ‘The Fighting } 
Fish of Siam,’ so named because fish fights upon which wagers are placed, 
are staged by natives. To see a well-developed male with fins and gills spread, 
ready to attack his reflection in a mirror I held near his tank, was a sight , 
I shall never forget. 

“Snow-white Corals, miniature Weathered Ships, small Spanish Treasure 
Chests containing beautiful jewels, moss-covered anchors, sea-shells among 
tufa stones on the white sandy bottom—gave such a picture of beauty that 
I resolved to have an aquarium of my own. a 

“TI can hardly express the pleasure our family has from our Tropical Fish 
Aquarium. Our friends and guests are also deeply interested.’”’

The joyful song of a Canary fills one’s home with wonderful good cheer and can change an 
atmosphere of gloom to one of happiness in a few moments. i 

Canaries need little care, as they require little attention, yet they give us much in return. 

Cages now are inexpensive. They add color and brightness to the home. The cost of main- 
taining a Canary is very little. A Canary would be an inspiration to every home. 

As a gift to a shut-in or invalid, and to teach children responsibility—a Canary has no equal.

Is a very fascinating pastime. German families in the 
Hartz Mountains have enjoyed this work for genera- 
tions. On Saint Valentine’s Day, the male and female 
are put together—for their patron saint is thought to 
bring about a happy mating. Five eggs are, as a rule, 
laid. Fourteen days are required to bring forth feath- 
erless infants. In four weeks they are out of the nest 
and mother and daddy are building a new nest for the 
next family. 


We supply all necessary breeding equipment, foods 
and accessories. Also practical books on the subject.

The Cat Department 


Cats, to be a pleasure to look upon and to fill that friendly feeling 
in the mind and loving spot in the heart, must be in good health 
and form. Success with cats, whether for exhibition, breeding or 
home comfort, depends upon the condition in which they are kept 
and the care bestowed upon them. Exercise is especially necessary 
for cats in city homes, and the catnip ball is a desirable aid in this 
The average life of the cat is from 12 to 15 years.

‘Just a Cat Much Loved’’ 


A little old common New York City alley cat was buried 
with high honors the other day in a private animal burying 
ground at Scarborough, N. Y. Its name was Tammany and 
it had protected the reporters and policemen around City 
Hall, in New York City, from rats for many years, All 
their guns and poison couldn’t do what the eyes and nose 
of an ordinary tiger cat could do. One day Tammany was 
found unconscious in a phone booth by one of the reporters. 
Deputy Mayor Henry H. Curran rushed him to a hospital 
and Dr. J. R. Kinney, chief of the staff, worked nearly all 
night in a fruitless effort to save its life. More than 1000 
telephone inquiries came to the hospital during the night 
asking about Tammany’s condition. James Speyer, New 
York banker, expressed his feeling by furnishing burial 
space in a small animal graveyard which he and his wife 
established some years ago on their place near Scar- 
borough, on the Hudson. And there, next day, as morning 
sunlight was streaming across the Hudson, quietly, peace- 
fully, lamented by newspapermen and policemen, Tam- 
many, little old alley cat, was laid to rest.
