TIGER
FLOWER

From our "Good Neighbor'’ to the South comes
the Sacred Flower of the Ancient Aztecs. Used as
temple decorations by the lordly Incas; delight of the
Spanish Conquistadores; beloved by the senoritas of
old Mexico; these exotic, flashing flowers add vivid

color to the landscape.

These beauties are equally at home in the searing
heat of the desert mesas of Mexico; in the steaming
jungles of Central America; or in our North American

gardens.

Perhaps the greatest reason of all, for growing these
unbelievable flowers in your garden is the exciting
element of surprise that is contained in each and
every bulb. The blossoms have amazing colors, curious
markings and the most exotic flower form, from which
they have derived the name of "Shell Flower.'' The
flowers appear and disappear suddenly, unexpectedly,
mysteriously like the multi-colored

shooting stars of a Roman candle.

Exceptionally large, firm bulbs care-
fully packed in moss to insure safe
arrival. Rarely do we have the op-

portunity to offer such a garden

novelty at these low prices and we

urge you to order early.

How. 1a Grow Them

Of easy culture. Handle like Gladiolus. Plant in
good well drained soil about 5 inches deep in
full sunshine. Water thoroughly about once a
week throughout the flowering season. Pluck
the faded individual flowers leaving the flower
head to shoot forth its succession bloom one
flower at a time. This will lengthen the bloom-
ing season. Bulbs should be taken up each year
and stored for the Winter. Full cultural direc-
tions included with each order.

PLAY SAFE—PLANT A GARDEN

We are now on the Offensive in a Global War—the greatest war history has ever known. We must
feed our fighting men wherever they are. Here at home we have one hundred and thirty million people to
feed, and elsewhere in the world there are countless millions of other people who are starving or half starv-
ing and who are looking to us for help.

Without Home Gardens we cannot hope to avoid a genuine food crisis. By wisely planting and in-
telligently maintaining really productive gardens we on the Home Front can do our country a great service.
We can continue to live well; we can maintain health; we can lighten the pressure on our already over-
loaded transportation facilities; we can save many dollars by growing vegetables and fruits, instead of buying
them, and, by so doing, we can turn those unspent dollars back into our National Treasury through the
purchase of War Bonds. Play safe! Plant a garden! Do your bit by being a soldier on the Home Front!
Grow Vegetables! Grow Fruits! Grow Flowers! Morale contributes to Victory. Flowers contribute to morale.

New Transportation Allowance
Beyond 20 Miles

For the first time, we offer a plan whereby you
benefit from a transportation allowance on all orders
of $2.50 or more to be shipped beyond our local
20 mile free delivery area. The allowance is at the
rate of 40c. per 100 pounds on the total weight of the
shipment. Shipment will be made by freight or ex-
press, as you instruct us, charges to be collected on
delivery—but we will share the cost of this trans-
portation by deducting an amount equivalent to
40c. per 100 pounds when billing you for the order.
On cash orders, you may deduct this amount if you
can estimate the weight, or send the full amount and
we will promptly refund the amount of the trans-
portation allowance after shipment.

Orders under $2.50, for items other than those
listed above as prepaid anywhere in the U.S. A., are
forwarded at purchaser’s expense by Express or Par-
cel Post. If you select Parcel Post delivery, please
remit the proper amount to cover postage as indi-
cated by Parcel Post zone scale on this page.

PRICES—All our prices conform with the O.P.A. price ceiling regulations
where such regulations are applicable. Our prices are net with no dis-
counts, subject to change without notice and subject to stock on hand

being unsold when your order is received.

ORDER BLANKS—For the convenience of our customers who, under
war conditions, are now ordering more often than usual by mail, we are
this year supplying Two Order Blanks. Please use them when possible.
They will help to expedite your orders when they reach us.

REMITTANCES—Currency must be sent Registered Mail. We assume
no responsibility when money is sent unregistered. We recommend the

use of Postal Money Orders or Bank Checks.

APPARENT SHORTAGES—Please open all packages before reporting
shortages. We sometimes enclose small packages in larger bags of fer-
tilizer or seed. Often we are unable to ship all items ordered at one time
as, for instance, Onion Sets, Asparagus Roots, Roses, etc., with seeds.
We notify our customers by mail promptly of these incomplete shipments.

Watch for these notices before writing.

Special Notice on Plants and
Nursery Stock

Trees, Shrubs, Annual Bedding Plants, and other
Plants, including Roses, are not shipped from our
Boston Warehouse but are handled as entirely sepa-
rate orders at our Nursery Shipping Departments in
Lexington and North Abington, Massachusetts.

Except for the special Plant Collections priced
postpaid, and orders for 3 or more dormant Roses,
all such Nursery items are shipped at customer’s
expense, charges collect on delivery. On small or-
ders, where the weight or type of material does not
warrant express shipment (35c. is the minimum Ex-
press Co. charge), we will ship by Parcel Post if a
reasonable amount is included for postage.

Because they must be handled separately all or-
ders for plants totaling less than $1.50 (except Post-
paid Special Offers) will carry a handling charge of
25c. even if such plants are part of a larger mixed
order. On such orders, when this handling charge is
included, we will prepay Parcel Post but not
Express charges.

Shipments of plants are made direct to your home
address—not to our Boston stores nor to other
“will call’’ points.

Because living plants are so perishable, we posi-
tively cannot accept C.O.D. orders.

MAILING LIST—Please write us of any change in your permanent home
address. This is very important to you and to us for mailing the various
catalogues and folders which we publish.

NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS

“No price for any article listed or described herein exceeds the
ceiling price for that article as determined under the applicable
maximum price regulation issued by the Office of Price Adminis-
tration. As required by that office, we will, upon request, furnish
you with a statement of our maximum prices on any of the com-
modities about which you inquire.”

BRECK’S, 85 State Street, Boston, Mass.
CONDITIONS TODAY ARE DIFFICULT. IT iS TO YOUR INTEREST, MORE THAN EVER, TO ORDER EARLY
(THIS WILL HELP YOU AND IT WILL HELP US)

NON-WARRANT Y—The successful growing of seeds, bulbs, and plants, obviously depends in very large measure on weather conditions and
proper cultural methods, so, conforming with the universal custom of the seed trade, we give no warranty, express or implied, as to the pro-
ductiveness of any seeds, bulbs, or plants we sell, and we will not be in any way responsible for the crop. Our liability, in all instances, is
limited to the purchase price of the seeds, bulbs, and plants.—Joseph Breck & Sons ’

and so thrifty, too

It’s always been good fun to start your own seedlings in the house. And

now modern science makes it far easier, far cleaner, far simpler, and far
more certain than ever before.

To raise your own seedlings you simply plant seeds in the starter sets;
water every few days; add small quantities of fertilizer, which may easily be
dissolved in water; and transplant the seedlings to your garden. It’s as
simple as that ! Complete kits may be purchased for as little as $1.00. And
the beginner can get better results today than the expert a few years ago.

The latest forward step in seed starting is the use of clean, light, sterilized
Mica-Gro instead of ‘“‘messy dirt.’’ Mica-Gro is an amazing new plant

to those who wish the best in lawn grass seed mixtures and for years its reputa-
tion as a quality lawn builder has grown. The experience of five generations of
New England seedsmen has been used in the blending of this superb mixture of
choice grasses, each of which has survived the test of the most rigorous cold as
well as the opposite extremes of Summer weather. ‘‘Boston Park’’ is designed
| to provide the kind of lawn that everybody wants; one that starts green in the

Spring and stays green throughout the season. Guaranteed to contain no
crabgrass seed.

Due to popular demand no Clover is included in this mixture.

This is the Clover which has been used so widely in lawn grass mixtures.
Like lawn grasses it will withstand regular mowing and many people find its
fresh, luxuriant green foliage a pleasing sight in the lawn. It is no longer one of
the component parts of our famous ‘*Boston Park’? Lawn Seed Mixture.

A LAWN is the frame around your home and
a frame should always be chosen which will com-
plement the picture it surrounds. A good lawn
may build up the home into an artist’s dream
while an untidy poor one may completely ruin
an architect’s masterpiece.

With this in mind we have been constantly

alert to the needs of our customers. We cannot
seed and care for your lawn, but we can and do
offer the finest materials possible for the building
and upkeep.

Our line of grass seed mixtures is the best and
there is one for every purpose, and in Brexone
Fertilizer we offer as fine a lawn builder as
money can buy.

This mixture of grasses is planned particularly
to form a sod which will stand very hard usage
and still prove permanent. It will make a strong,
rapid growth and the roots will strike deep into
the soil, thus providing a thick, green turf which
will not suffer from rapid drying out in very dry
weather. An ideal mixture for playgrounds too;

Banks and terraces are often a part of the lawn
surface around a house. For such sloping areas
it is necessary to use a Lawn Seed Mixture that
contains grasses which establish themselves
quickly and with root systems that will not only
support the grass plants, but also insure the slop-
ing ground against erosion. The grasses used in
Bank and Terrace Mixture will meet all condi-
tions of drought and torrential rain.

Rootone-ize
Your
Grass Seed

Rootone wil! cause
faster seed germi-
nation and stronger
root growth. The
more rugged root
system taps lower
soil levels and
brings more food
and moisture to the
plants. This also
means better ut
zation of fertilizer
and therefore a
thicker, heavier
turf. The creation
of a denser growth
of grass is the best
possible way to at-
tain that much de-
sired weed-free
lawn. Rootone is

root-forming stim-
ulant. Use 1 oz.

little chance for survival. We cannot recommend
this grand grass seed mixture too highly.

A mixture of grasses designed for use on the
poor sandy soils that are found so often near the
seashore. The grasses that have been included
have been selected for their deep rooting quali-
ties, their resistance to salt spray and for their
ability to withstand drought. This mixture must
not be expected to grow in clear sand but it will
thrive under conditions too severe fcr other

Although Sweet Potatoes are commonly associated with the
South, they can be grown with relative ease and amazing suc-
cess in the home gardens of New England. You can’t imagine
how delicious they are until you have enjoyed the products of
your own efforts. After the weather has become warm, set
the plants 1 foot apart in rows that have been hilled up to
6 inches above the level of the ground. They will grow rapidly,
covering 8 to 10 feet with luxuriant green, viney growth. All
they require is deeply prepared, well drained soil that has been
treated with a fertilizer of high potash content. Try a row in
the garden this year and you will never be without them again.

ASPARAGUS—Mary Washington

Delivery—March and April
$1.00 for 25, $3.00 per 100, $25.00 per 1000
Transportation paid

No garden can be complete without a row or two
of this delicious early Spring vegetable and the best
of it all is that once planted an Asparagus bed will
provide larger and better crops as the years pass.
Reasonable care must be given each year to prepare
for the following season’s crop but this care consists
only of ordinary cultivation and feeding. The cul-
tivation will prevent weeds from robbing the plants
of nourishment and moisture, and the feeding which
consists of two or three applications of fertilizer a
year builds up stronger and healthier roots to pro-
duce larger and better shoots the following year.
How can you collect better garden dividends than
by planting a crop, now, that will yield an ever in-
creasing supply almost every day for practically
two months each year—and this over a period of
twenty years or more!! Don’t hesitate! To do so
is wasting valuable time. It takes a couple of years
before you can start cutting. Then, you can cut and
cut fat, juicy stalks, to your heart’s content.

We offer only the newest and best variety; strong
healthy roots just aching to push their way into’
the loam in your garden and grow, grow, grow.

LARGE QUARTER $ 1 00

iy POUND PACKETS
Three packets for $2.75

At last a really fine, super-quality, butter yellow Sweet
Corn of the true Baby Type, with ears big enough to pro-
vide some real “‘munching”’ and yet midget enough to be
a startling novelty when you serve the luscious garden-
fresh ears to your guests.

Those who have tried this superbly sweet midget corn
say that it is unquestionably the finest thing they have
ever had. We believe it represents a really GREAT NOV-
ELTY, one that you will enjoy having this year, because
it is new, and next year, and the next, and the next, be-
cause your garden won’t ever again be complete without
it. Take our word for it. You won’t go wrong. It’s the
sweetest yet!

We think our little girl—as the saying goes—is “‘as cute as
a bunny.”’ She is just a very little girl, and walking down
through the rows of midget Corn on her way to being photo-
graphed she looked tall in comparison to the cornstalks.
The ear at the top of the picture is just natural size. So there
you have the story, the whole story, except for one thing.

Our supply of seed is good, but we hardly think it
will be equal to the great demand that there will be for
this sensational new Sweet Corn. So put two and two
together for yourself, and get your order in EARLY.

We don’t want you to have to wait until 1944 to try
this extra early midget Corn. Just DON’T MISS IT
this year!

Native vegetable plants grown for their edible potato-like
tubers. They were once a staple food of the Cape Cod Indians
and have a high nutritive value. Because they thrive on
most any type of soil with practically no cultivation they are
highly desirable for the home garden. Cut and used raw they
make crisp, zestful tidbits for salads; excellent also boiled like
new Potatoes.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH
6954 A Great Specialty of Ours

Since introducing this Squash several years
ago we have seen its popularity increase in
a way that is truly sensational. We have
had a flood of unsolicited testimonials that
speak of it as “the top-notcher of all time,”
and wherever it appears on the market it is
snapped up ahead of all other varieties and
at twice and three times the price. It is dis-
tinct in form and flavor from all others. The
yellow flesh is thick and dry. It is very pro-
ductive, it keeps well, it is superbly delicious
in every way—baked, boiled, or in pie—and
it has recently received awards (noted below)
that make it stand out as a really great addi-
tion to the list of best vegetables. Butternut
grows vigorously producing its abundant crop
in late Summer and early Autumn.

613322 OAK LEAF LETTUCE “king of the Salad Bow!”

“Bowl Salads” are increasing in popularity by leaps and bounds! Hostesses, everywhere,
are featuring luscious mixed green salads in their entertaining, and why not ? In the Summer-
time is there anything, after all, more delicious and appetizing than a well-chilled salad, espe-
cially when the home garden can so easily supply the fresh-picked tender vitamin-rich in-
gredients ?

Oak Leaf Lettuce is unbelievably decorative, and it is more delicate in texture and flavor
than any semi-head variety we know. Asa centre or “‘heart”’ it forms a tight rosette of creamy-
white and pale green leaves. This heart is surrounded by extremely tender darker green twisted
and crumpled leaves in what appears to be almost a bouquet arrangement. The leaves closely
resemble those of the White Oak. You will like it! Try it! Pkt. 25c., 4% oz. 60c., oz. $1.00

A Guide to Garden Planning

VEGETABLE PLANTING CHART

In order to simplify the planning of your garden and so that you may have your seed requirements on hand in good

season, we have prepared the following vegetable planting table.
for weather conditions vary so from year to year that hard and

sible.

9

The dates given must by necessity be approximate
fast rules in regard to times of planting are impos-
However, unless the season is unusually late they may be followed with reasonable assurance of safety.

Our

estimates on the number of plants or the length of row that an ounce or a pound of seed will produce, are moderate.
In many cases many more plants will result and if great care is taken in handling, the seed will sow a row longer than

that specified. @

In spite of variations such as are mentioned above we believe that you will find this chart helpful.

ASPARAGUS

An excellent source of vitamin C; also con-
tains vitamin A and iron.

Asparagus is a hardy perennial plant which will
bear a satisfactory crop over a 20-year period if the
bed is properly established and cared for. e recom-
mend the purchase of ASPARAGUS ROOTS (see
page 5) rather than seeds for the fussy work of start-
ing, transplanting and selection are thus eliminated
and above all, a crop may be harvested at least
2 years earlier.

If seed is used sow it thinly in drills, in the early
Spring and cover to a depth of only 14 inch. The
resulting plants should be thinned out to stand at
least 6 inches apart and when a year old transplant
them to carefully prepared and heavily enriched beds.
1 ounce of seed will sow about 60 feet of drill
5015 Mary Washington. This variety was

developed by U. S. Department of Agricul-

ture and since its introduction it has been the
most popular variety in cultivation, primarily
because of its immunity to rust. The stalks
are dark green with purplish tips. Very large,
straight, and of superb quality.

Pkt. 15c., oz. 50c., 14 Ib. $1.50

The Pest Varieties of
BEANS

SNAP BEANS are a good source of vitamin A
and a fair source of vitamin C. SHELL BEANS
are important for their protein, iron, calcium,
Vitamin B1 and riboflavin. LIMA BEANS pro-
vide a good supply of vitamin C and a fair
supply of vitamin B1 and iron.

Time to Plant—Seed of most BUSH BEANS
may be sown about May | with later plantings until
about August 1; DWARF SHELL BEANS from
May | to about June 20 and POLE SNAP BEANS
from May | to July 5. LIMA BEANS should not be
planted before May 15 with later plantings of the
Bush varieties until about June 20 and until about
June 10 with the Pole varieties. :

Soil Preparation—Beans are one of the easiest
crops to raise. They will grow in almost any reason-

ably good garden soil which only needs to be prepared
by being thoroughly dug over to the full depth of a
spading fork.

Planting—Plant BUSH BEANS in rows about
216 feet apart and. cover the seed to a depth of about
14 inch. POLE BEANS should be planted in hills
with a stout pole, 6 feet or more long in the center of
each hill. These hills should be arranged in rows and
spaced about 2 feet apart in the row. Leave about
4 feet between the rows to admit plenty of air and
light. Two or three plants are all that should be
allowed to each pole.

1 pound of BUSH BEANS will sow a row of about

50 feet; 11b. of POLE BEANS (except Limas) will

plant about 200 hills; and lb. of LIMAS, about
75 hills

Green Bush Beans

5020 Tendergreem. 54 days. An extremely
delicious and absolutely stringless green Bean
of superior quality. Prolific and one of the
earliest, in light warm soils. The pods are a
deep rich green, 414 to 6 in. long, perfectly
round and very brittle.

1% |b. 25c., lb. 45c., 5 Ibs. $2.15, 10 lbs. $4.00

5024 Stringiess Green Pod. 50 days. Extra
early, vigorous, and productive. Pods 5 in.
long, round, deep green in color and perfectly
stringless. Quality excellent.

14 lb. 25c., lb. 40c., 5 Ibs. $1.90, 10 Ibs. $3.60

5028 Bountiful. 49 days. Without question
this is the most widely planted and most popu-
lar green Bean today. It is a prolific and con-
tinuous cropper, producing long, flat, rich
green, meaty pods of uniform length. The
quality and melting flavor of the Beans are un-
excelled. It is absolutely stringless.

14 Ib. 25c., Ib. 40c., 5 lbs. $1.90, 10 Ibs. $3.60

036 Plentiful. 52 days. A very promising new
variety. Flat-podded, green and very pro-
ductive. The plants are rust-resistant. This
delicious snap Bean was awarded a bronze
medal in the 1938 All America Selections.

V4 |b. 25c., lb. 45c., 5 Ibs. $2.15, 10 lbs. $4.00

provement over the old black Valentine va-
riety from which this strain has been developed.

An excellent sort for cold-pack or for pickling.
1 Ib. 25c., lb. 40c., 5 Ibs. $1.90, 10 lbs. $3.60

SOYBEANS (Soja Beans)

An excellent source of vitamins A, B1, and B2,
also very high in fat and protein content.

Soybeans are a relatively new crop in this part ot
the country but due to their ability to thrive in soils
too poor for many other things and because of their
high nutritive content, they will undoubtedly prove
to be very valuable.

Sow the seeds in the open ground during May, after
having prepared the soil by thorough digging and
fertilizing. Inoculate with Nodogen before sowing.
Plant in drills spaced about 2'% feet apart and

cover to a depth of about 4 inch.

5059 Bansei. 90 days. Erect, 3 to 4 foot plants;
very prolific and well adapted to growing in
New England. The beans have a mild and
pleasing flavor. REpaeloc.,

1 Ib. 25c., lb. 45c., 5 lbs. $2.15, 10 lbs. $4.00

THE MEXICAN BEAN BEETLE
A serious menace but one which may

Beets are generally liked but their chief nutritional value is in their tops. Beet greens are an
excellent source of vitamin A and a good source of both vitamin C and iron.

Time to Plant—Sow quite early in the Spring(aboutApril 20)and at intervals, from then until about July 25.

Soil Preparation —A light, rich soil is best. Do not use fresh manure for it will cause the roots to become
scabby. Old, well rotted manure well mixed with the soil is excellent; also a standard vezetable fertilizer with

a high potash content.

Planting—Sow the seed thinly in rows and later thin out so that the plants will stand about 2 inches apart.

Allow about |'%4 feet of space between rows.

1 ounce of seed should sow a 50-foot row

BROCCOLI

Rich in vitamins A and C and a fair source
of calctum and iron.

Time to Plant—Seeds may be sown either indoors
or in a coldframe as early as March 15, or from April
20 to about June | in the open ground.

Soil—The soil should be deep, rich and well
drained. Wet or sour conditions will only result in
failure.

Seed Sowing —For the early crop sow in flats or
in sheltered seed beds of finely pulverized loam.
Broadcast the seed thinly over the surface and cover
lightly (no more than 4 inch) with finely sifted soil.

Culture—When the resulting plants are large
enough to handle, thin out or transplant so they will
have ample space in which to develop, and transplant
to the garden after May |. Set the plants about
18 inches apart in rows with about 2!4 feet between
the rows. After the central head has been cut (about
60 days after the plants have been set out) side
branches will develop and provide a succession of
edible heads over a long season.

1 ounce should produce 2000 plants

days. This is a very superior strain of this
extremely popular and easily grown vege-

continuous supply is thus enjoyed. We rec-
ommend all home growers to give this a place
in their gardens.

CHINESE CABBAGE

Chinese Cabbage thrives best in cool weather and
is therefore grown as a Fall crop. However, if an early
Spring crop is desired sow the seed indoors about April
1 and transplant to the garden in late April. Otherwise
sow in the open ground during early July in rows,
spacing the rows about 2!% feet apart. Cover the seed
with not more than 14 inch of soil. When the plants
are 2 or 3 inches tall, thin out or transplant to about
18 inches apart.

CHICORY

Seeds should be sown in deep, well prepared soil
during May or June. Sow in rows and cover the seeds
with not over 4 inch of soil. Leave about 2 feet be-
tween rows and when the plants are large enough to
handle thin them out to stand about 6 inches apart.

In the late Fall the roots of WITLOOF CHICORY
may be lifted and stored in sand in a cool cellar for
forcing at intervals during the Winter or they may be
left in the open ground until Spring. Then the tender
shoots may be cut when they reach a length 6 to 8
inches and used as greens. When forcing plant the
roots in boxes of soil. Set them in an upright position
and quite close together. After planting, the boxes
should be set in a warm location and covered with
about 6 inches of sand. In about 4 weeks they will
develop (in the sand) those choice blanched heads
which are sold as “French Endive.”

The LARGE ROOTED variety is grown in the
same manner outdoors but in the Fall the roots are
lifted, thoroughly dried and roasted; then ground and
used as a substitute for coffee.

Time to Plant—Sow the seed indoors or in a cold-

May | to June 15.

Soil—A deep, rich, well drained soil is the ideal type
for Cauliflower. Wet, sour soils are unsatisfactory.

of finely pulverized loam. Broadcast the seed thinly
over the surface and cover lightly (no more than
14 inch) with finely sifted soil.

Culture—When the plants are large enough to
handle thin out or transplant far enough apart so
that they may develop properly. The plants may be
transferred to positions in the garden from about
May | until early July. Set them in rows with about
18 inches between plants and 214 feet between rows.
Be sure that Cauliflower is well watered in periods of
drought. Examine the plants frequently and as soon
as heads develop to 3 or 4 inches in diameter either
tie or break the leaves over them to exclude all
possible light.

; For the early crop seed should be sown in a greenhouse during March,
in flats. The late or main crop should be sown in a coldframe or even ina
sheltered seed bed out of doors, in late April or during May.

; Broadcast the seed thinly over the’ surface of the soil and cover very
lightly (no more than zs inch) with finely sifted soil. As soon as the plants
are large enough to handle thin out so that they are an inch or two apart,

The early plants should be transplanted to permanent positions in the
garden in May and the late’crop in late June or July. Set the plants about
8 inches apart, in rows and allow at least 214 feet between rows. Celery
should have a deep, rich fertile soil which is well-drained. It should have
an abundance of moisture throughout the growing season.

The accepted method for blanching Celery in the Autumn is to hoe
the soil up around the plants, nearly covering them. In warm weather
soil-banking is not advisable and therefore, for an early crop, boards 12 to
15 inches wide are used. Set them on edge, on either side of the row with an occasional
short stake driven into the ground to hold them in place.

1 ounce of seed should produce 3000 plants

SWEET CORN

The yellow varieties contain vitamin A, both white and yellow contain small amounts of minerals

and vitamins.

Time to Plant—Sweet Corn is a rather tender plant and therefore seed should not usually be planted until
about May | and then only if the weather is settled and reasonably warm. Plantings may be made at intervals,
from that time until about July | using early varieties for the later sowings.

Seed Sowing—In the home garden it is

best to sow Corn in rows which should be spaced about 3 feet

apart. The seed should be sown very thinly; covered to a depth of one inch and the resulting plants thinned to
stand about one foot apart. In larger field plantings the usual practise is to plant in hills spaced at least 3 feet
apart, each way. Four or five plants are allowed to each hill.

1 pound of Corn should plant a 200 foot row

CUCUMBERS

Time to Plant—Do not sow outdoors until the
weather has become settled and warm, during June.

Soil Preparation—Cucumbers prefer a rich porous
soil and we suggest digging in a generous shovelful
of well rotted manure when preparing each hill.

Planting—Sow in hills (7 or 8 seeds to each hill)
spaced about 4 feet apart in each direction. Cover
with not more than 1% inch of soil. When the plants
are 2 or 3 inches high thin out to leave only 3 or 4
plants to each hill.

An abundance of moisture is always needed.
One ounce of seed should plant about 60 hills

Green Peppers provide an excellent supply of
vitamin C and a fair amount of vitamin A.

Time to Plant—For an early crop the seed may
be sown either in the house or in a coldframe in early
April. However, seed sown from May 15 to June |
in the open ground will produce a crop in late Summer.

Seed Sowing—Sow the seeds thinly in flats or in
a coldframe in light pulverized soil. Cover them with
not over 44 inch of soil.

Soil Preparation—Any reasonably good, well cul-
tivated garden soil, preferably ground that has been
manured the previous year. Soil too rich in nitrogen
will tend toward the production of foliage rather
than fruit.

Transplanting—Seedlings started inside, should
be transplanted as soon as they are large enough to
handle, into boxes or individual pots and spaced far
enough apart so that each will have ample space for
development. These plants should be gradually
hardened off by exposure to out-of-door conditions
during favorable weather, before being permanently
placed in the garden, about June |. Set the plants
116 feet apart in rows leaving about 3 feet between
the rows.

be taken to press the soil firmly around them. Sow in

PARSNIP

A good source of vitamin C.

Parsnips are a valuable root crop and one of the
easiest crops to handle.

Time to Plant—lIt is desirable to plant early in
the Spring (about April 20) but seeds sown as late as
June 15 will produce a crop.

Soil Preparation—As the roots penetrate to a
depth of at least 15 inches, the soil should be deeply
spaded and well fertilized.

Planting—In rows 1% feet apart, covering the
seed with not over !% inch of soil and later thinning
the plants out to stand 3 inches apart in the rows.
They should be frequently cultivated throughout
the season.

Harvesting—In the Fall as freezing weather ap-
proaches the roots may be dug and used, or stored.
As freezing improves the flavor it is best to let them
remain in the ground protecting them with a mulch
so that they may be harvested at any time during
the Winter or early Spring.

Grow The Miracle, An Outstanding Pea 21

OC \
UT VOUT ETC OPE EE

Good source of vitamin C with fair amounts of vitamins A,
B, and iron.

There is no more luscious vegetable than fresh young green peas picked right from the
garden. For the successful growing of this delicacy, cool weather and good soil preparation
are essential. So they may mature in succession it is better to PLANT AN EARLY, A
MEDIUM and A LATE VARIETY AT THE SAME. TIME rather than several sowings

of one kind.

Time to Plant—Just as early in the Spring as the soil is workable (about April 1).
Soil Preparation—Any good garden soil which has been deeply spaded and liberally manured. Peas

dislike acid soil and if such a condition exists, it should be corrected by working in lime (about 5 lbs. to each
100 square feet).

: Planting—Sow in drills, allowing one inch between seeds and about 3 feet between rows. Cover the seed
with about one inch of soil.

Cultivation—As soon as they begin to grow, some form of support should be provided for all but the very

ne varieties. (Birch brush or poultry wire.) Constant cultivation will add considerably to the quality of
the crop.

1 1b. of seed will sow about a 50 foot row

POTATO CULTURE

Universally liked; contribute important
amounts of vitamins B, and C, and iron.

Potatoes should be planted during April or early
May. They will thrive in almost any fertile, well-
drained, somewhat acid soil. Do not use lime. The
soil should be plowed or deeply dug over and furrows
six inches deep and 214 to 3 feet apart, should be
made. A commercial fertilizer with high phosphorous
and potash content should be thoroughly mixed with
the soil at the bottom of the furrow (about 20 lbs.
per 100 ft. row) and about 2 inches of unfertilized
topsoil should be placed over it.

Cut each Potato into 3 or more pieces with at least
one good eye to the piece. Treat with Semesan-Bel
and plant, about 10 inches apart, in the prepared
furrows. Cover with 3 or 4 inches of soil. Cultivate
constantly throughout the season.

1 peck will plant about 125 foot row,
10 bushels to the acre.

SWEET POTATO PLANTS

An excellent supply of vitamin A with a good
supply of vitamin C.

Prepare the soil about May 15 by plowing or dig-
ging deeply and make a furrow about 4 inches deep.
Spread a commercial fertilizer (with a high potash
content) in the furrow, using about 10 lbs. to each
100 feet, and thoroughly mix it with the soil. Refill
the furrow with unfertilized soil and build up a ridge
3 or 4 inches high. After the weather has become
settled in June set the plants 15 inches apart on this
ridge. llow 30 inches between rows. About July I,
another application of fertilizer (about 10 lbs. to 100
feet) alongside the. row will be very beneficial.

Summer Squash is a good source of vitamin C and a fair source of vitamin A.
Winter Squash contributes an excellent supply of vitamin A.

There are two distinct types, the Summer or bush type and Winter or vine type.
Both types are easy to grow, if they are planted in warm well-drained soil that has been liberally manured

or fertilized.

Time to Plant—Sow the seeds of Summer Squash from May | to July | and Winter Squash from May |

to June |.

Soil Preparation—Prepare the hills by spading in two or three shovelfulls of well-rotted manure to each,
hill. If this is not available, work in about a handful of commercial fertilizer to each hill.

Planting—lIt is best to sow from 6 to 8 seeds in each hill about 14 inch deep. When these are well up,
thin out leaving only 2 or 3 of the strongest plants to grow in each hill. For Summer Squash allow about 4 feet
each way between the hills and 7 feet each way for Winter varieties.

I ounce Summer Squash will plant about 50 hills

1 ounce Winter Squash will plant about 15 hills

A good source of vitamin C with a fair supply
of vitamin A; one of the most important vege-
tables for the home garden. They can be planted
in most any type of soil with reasonable assur-
ance of success and are unsurpassed for home
canning.

Time to Sow—lt is best to sow indoors in flats, or
in coldframes, during April, but seed sown outdoors
in early May will produce fruit in September.

Planting—When sowing use a good light sifted
loam and broadcast the seed lightly over the surface,
cover with not more than }% inch of soil. When the
seedlings are from 2 to 3 inches high they should be
given ample space for proper growth. Either trans-
plant or thin out so that they will be about 3 inches
apart. After all danger of frost is past these plants
should be hardened off, by gradual exposure to the
out-of-doors, during favorable weather; transplant-
ing them to the garden about May 20. Space the
plants about 3 feet apart in the rows allowing 4 feet
between rows. Closer planting is possible if the
plants are to be staked.

One ounce of seed should produce about
1500 plants

Culture Pays

A wise grower will provide support for his Tomato
plants. Unsupported plants sprawl over the ground,
taking up valuable garden space; also the fruit on such
plants will often spoil from contact with the soil, par-
ticularly during rainy weather.

The method most economical of garden space is the
training of individual ‘plants on single stakes. A good
rugged pole should be driven into the ground 3 or 4
inches from each plant. The pole should be long
enough so that it stands 5 to 6 feet above the ground
after being firmly planted. We recommend the
Cedar Poles which are ordinarily used for Pole Beans.
(See our list of Garden Tools and Requisites starting
on page 90.) As soon as the plants begin to branch,
snip off all side shoots and tie up the main stem to the
stake. Use soft jute twine or strips of strong cloth and
tie loosely so that the plant will not be injured. As the
plants grow continue to tie up the main stem and to
remove all side branches until they reach the tops of
the stakes. Tomatoes so grown will produce earlier,
cleaner and more perfect fruit because of their expo-
sure to sunlight and air.

Another and more popular way of handling Toma-
toes is to set a specially designed Tomato Support
over each plant. These supports are catalogued and
illustrated in our list of Garden Tools and Requisites
(page 90). The only training necessary is to keep the
plants from growing under or between hoops until
they are tall enough to hang over the top. From then
on they will be supported perfectly and the fruit will
be held well above the ground.

Spinach, Nobel Giant Thick-leavec

Excellent source of both vitamins A and C, with a good supply of iron and

some riboflavin.

Time to Sow. For an early crop seed should be sown just as soon as the ground
can be worked (about April 1) with successive sowings up to the end of May. This
crop runs quickly to seed in hot dry weather and therefore it is best not to plant again
until about August 15 when a Fall crop of Spinach can be sown which will provide
greens until frost.

Soil Preparation. Spinach, to be succulent and tender must have a really rich
soil, well prepared and liberally manured.

Planting. Sow the seed thinly in rows; cover with not over 14 inch of soil and
allow 1'4 feet between rows. When the plants are large enough to handle, thin out,
leaving about one inch between plants.

1 ounce of seed should sow a 50-foot row

TURNIP

Turnip greens are most valuable for they supply excellent
quantities of vitamins A and C, together with a good supply “of
calcium and iron. The roots provide a good supply of vitamin{C.

Turnips are easy to grow. They will thrive in the Spring or Fall but
will not do well during the heat of Summer. Seeds may be sown as
early as the ground is workable (about April |) with successive sowings
until May 15. The Fall crop should be sown in August. Any reasonably
good garden soil will suffice.

Sow in rows, | '4 feet apart and cover the seed with not over 1 inch
of soil. When the plants are about 3 inches high, thin them out to stand
3 inches apart. These tender vitamin-rich plants should not be
discarded, they make delicious greens.

RUTA-BAGA or Swedish Turnip

The greens are most valuable, for they supply excellent quan-

and iron. The roots provide vitamin C with some vitamin A.
They are an important Fall crop for the roots can be stored

throughout the Winter.

Seeds may be sown during April, but since they do not do well during
hot weather, it is best not to make further plantings until after June 15,
when an Autumn crop may be sown. Their cultural requirements are

in Pansy development are certainly manifest when one compares these superb creations with Pan-

SEEDS OF FLOWERING PLANTS

ANNUALS e

Of the Summer-flowering plants usually raised from seed there are
three distinct classes—Annuals, Biennials and Perennials. Each of these
because of peculiar habits and characteristics of its own, requires some-
what different treatment. Here we have tried to make clear the differences

between each of these groups. Planting instructions will also be found
on packages of Breck’s Flower Seeds.

ANNUALS

Botanically, an annual plant is one which completes its entire life-cycle
from seed germination, through the blooming and seed-ripening periods,
to a natural death within a single growing season. Practically, however,
we include in this group all plants, whether biennials or perennials, which
will bloom in the open the same year the seed is sown and which do not
live over Winter in this climate.

Most common annuals will bloom freely if the seeds are sown in the
open ground in the Spring after the weather has become settled. How-
ever, since this rule does not always apply, it has been necessary to sub-
divide annuals into groups as follows:

Hardy Annuals are so called because they need no artificial heat at
any time. They are able to endure any ordinary weather from early
April until Fall. Frosty weather which often occurs during April and even
May will do the plants no harm after they have passed the seed-leaf
stage. Seed of many hardy annuals may even be sown in the Fall and the
young plants which appear in the early Spring will often flower more
strongly than those from Spring sowings.

Half-Hardy Annuals are those which must have a long growing
season in which to reach full development and which require protection
and warmth during the early stages of their growth. They are usually
sown in seed pans or flats during February or March and grown in a
window, hotbed, or greenhouse to be transplanted to the open garden in
May when the weather has become settled.

HARDY BIENNIALS

Hardy Biennials require more than one growjng season to reach matur-
ity. They usually bloom the second year after the seed is sown and then
die. It is customary to sow the seed out of doors at any time after the
weather has become settled in the Spring, until August. Certain biennials
such as Canterbury Bells (Campanula Medium) should definitely be
sown early (in April or May) or they will not bloom until the third season,
but most of the others will give good results if sown in June, July or early
August. If the seed is sown late and the seedlings are small, it is best to
transplant them into a cold-
frame where they may remain
throughout the Winter. By
doing so, the growing season
will be lengthened and the
young plants may be pro-
tected more easily from severe
weather changes.

BIENNIALS e

PERENNIALS
HARDY PERENNIALS

Hardy Perennials usually do not bloom until the season following the
one in which the seed is sown. However, unlike biennials, they do not die
after blooming. Their foliage will die back to the ground every year but
the plant will start from the same root in the Spring and will bloom each
season for a long time. The seed may be sown from April until August.
Early sowing is advisable for the plants will be larger and better able to
withstand the Winter. In sorthe instances the plants from early sowings
will flower the first season but in any case they will be stronger and will
bloom much better the second year. Small plants from late sowings
require the protection of a coldframe during their first Winter.

THE SOIL AND ITS PREPARATION

The soil best suited to the majority of flowering plants, whether
annuals, biennials or perennials, is a light rich loam, neither too sandy
nor too stiff.

Such ideal conditions are not always available to the gardener but most
soils will respond to proper conditioning. Deep and thorough digging with
a generous quantity of well-rotted manure or leafmold worked into the
land will usually give the desired results. If the soil is a heavy one sand
should be worked in while it is being dug over.

Good drainage is also an important matter for excessively moist soils are
cold and young plants are likely to suffer during the cooler Spring months.
Very few perennial plants will survive severe Winter weather if the soil
in which they are growing is poorly drained and wet.

Most flowering garden plants dislike a loam that is sour or acid.
your soil, and if necessary, correct acidity with lime.

(<= IMPORTANT NOTICE!

In this catalogue we have made but one list of all our Flower Seeds.
Whether they are Annuals, Biennials or Perennials they are catalogued
alphabetically according to their botanical names, except in cases such as
that of Asters or Nasturtiums where the common names are so universally
used that to list any other would be confusing.

After each variety we have given the common name of the flower—if
there is one that is at all well known—and under each heading we have
indicated the correct classification (Annual, Biennial or Perennial) or the
treatment that is best suited to the individual item, in New England. We
have also given hints as to the more common uses of each variety and the
heights to which they may be expected to grow.

We call particular attention to the special pricing of 3 packet lots of indi-
vidual Flower Seed items. This special price for three packets, only
applies when three packets bearing the same catalogue number
are purchased.

Please order by number and be sure that you have
copied the numbers correctly.

Asters are the glory of New England gardens in August

den display are wanted in masses. They are very different
from other Summer blooming plants in their color ef-
ect and there is a large number of different types in all of which similar

colors have been produced. During the past few years Aster growers have
" worked toward true wilt-resistant strains and while they cannot yet claim
j perfection, the results have shown great improvement in this direction.

Kuow Your Soil
Plants of all kinds need a balanced diet if
they are to yield maximum growth. The
only way to insure a balanced diet is to first

test the soil and then add the missing chemi-
cals according to the soil’s needs.

THE SUDBURY SOIL-TESTING KIT
is practical and easy to use. It provides a
simple method of determining the nitrogen,
phosphorus and potash contents and also

whether the soil is acid or alkaline.

The use of the Sudbury Soil-Testing Kit
eliminates guess-work and provides actual
knowledge of what Plant Foods are needed
and how much to apply.

Home Garden Kit (sufficient for
about 20 tests)

Club Model (sufficient for about
50 tests) $4.75

It is easy to grow your own Pansies.
and therefore the best time to start them is in July or early August of the previous year. Choose
a sheltered spot for the seed bed—a coldframe is especially good—and dig the soil over to the full
depth of a spading fork. Be sure that the surface soil is thoroughly pulverized and level.

_ Sow the seed in shallow drills or broadcast over the surface as thinly as possible.
as lightly as possible (no more than ¥ inch) and then press surface firmly with a flat board.

They are at their best during the cool days of early Spring

Cover just
Protect

the seed bed with some such material as cheese cloth to shelter it from the sun and showers and as
soon as the seeds begin to sprout, raise this covering on stakes so that it will hang a few inches above
the plants. As soon as the seedlings are large enough to handle, thin out or transplant far enough
apart so that they will not crowd each other. Transplant to their permanent positions in September.

Petunias, in general, are too well known to need any description. There are, however,
an endless number of new and charming colors and forms to add to the interest in these in-
dispensable garden flowers. Petunias are really half-hardy perennials and the seed which falls
from the plants will often endure the Winter and germinate the following Spring, but the best

Petunia, Ruffled Giants, Mixed

PETUNIAS ce eaty % grow

Outstanding among garden flowers. Few are more colorful
and useful and none are easier to grow. The plants are hardy;
seeds may be sown as early in the Spring as the ground
is workable; the seedlings transplant easily and from
early Summer until late Fall they bear a glori-
ous profusion of large, handsome blooms.

One precaution: the seeds are very fine
and must not be buried. Simple scatter
them over the surface of well pre-
pared and finely pulverized
soil and gently press them
into the ground with a
flat board. Deep
planting is usu-
ally the rea-
son for dis-
appoint-
ment.

7” PETUNIA

Honorable Mention, 1942 A.A.S.

The blooms are deeply ruffled
and are of the “Giants of Califor-
nia’’ type. The color is a rich sal-
mon-rose, with soft tan veining on
a creamy buff background deep in
the wide-open throat. It begins to
bloom early in the summer and
continues to flower freely and with-
out lapse until frost checks it late
in the fall. ‘‘Glamour”’ is illus-
trated here in full color—a true re-
production of a direct color photo-
graph taken in our trial grounds.
It really is the richest colored and
the most gloriously beautiful
Petunia that we have ever seen.

Ricinus

Castor Oil Plants as Pesticides

Apart from the fact that Castor Oil Plants
(Ricinus) are valuable for creating tropical effects
in the garden, it is of interest to note that some peo-
ple hold the definite belief that mosquitoes will not
remain in the vicinity of these plants. This theory
suggests planting them around piazzas and porches
where they are always ornamental. We do not
vouch for the correctness of this theory, but the
fact remains that Castor Oil Plants are rarely
troubled by insect pests. One exception to this has,
however, come to our notice, when several years
ago, Japanese beetles attacked a group of the
plants in a vegetable garden. Ignoring all else, the
beetles swarmed on the plants and thousands of
dead beetles beneath proved the lethal character
of the 1 meal they had eaten.

Again, it has repeatedly been brought to our at-
tention that Castor Beans placed in their runs will
eliminate moles. One gardener, to prove that moles
will eat the beans, caught one of these rodents and
placed it in a barrel of soil with several of the
beans. The beans were eaten and the mole was
found dead a day or two later.

Half-hardy Annuals.Garden flowers. 6 to 30 inches.

No garden of annual flowers could get along
without a bed of Zinnias. The big, bold plants
bear blooms of many bright colors, long lasting
and freely produced. They are as easy to grow
as anything, affording never-ending pleasure
from the time they come into bloom until frost.
Like all other popular flowers, many distinct
types have been developed, some bearing flowers
of enormous size and others which are jewel-like
miniatures of their larger brothers and sisters.

Until the advent of the Dahlia-flowered types,
the Giants were the largest and showiest. Now,
of course, the Dahlia-flowered and California
Giant types are the royalty ol the race in size of
bloom, stature, and in glorious colors. These,
together with the less conventional forms like
“Fantasy” and ‘‘Scabiosa-flowered”’ make up the
most colorful, the most diversified, and the
“easiest to grow”’ group of flowers in the world.

Super Crown O’Gold
Immense, showy flowers, equal in size to those
of the California Giant and Dahlia-flowered
groups and midway between them in form. The
blooms are made up of broad petals, each of
which is overlaid with deep golden yellow at the
base while carrying out the individual flower
color at the petal tips. This unique flower mark-
ing so enhances the beauty of these Zinnias that
they stand out as a really great achievement.

Colorful Binnias—

No flower exists that more nearly combines the qualities
necessary to the perfect garden flower. Anyone can grow
them and they will thrive almost anywhere. In size they

doubles, crested and shaggy blooms of compelling interest;
low growing midgets for bordering and statuesque multi-
colored beauties in brilliant as well as pastel colors,—ideal
for cut flowers.

Zinnias may be sown out-of-doors from mid-April

on and will bloom from early Summer until late in

the Fall. Even early July sowings will make lovely
September displays.

BENT, Colonial (Agrostis tenuis). An Oregon-grown strain of Colonial
or Rhode Island Bent. This grass produces a luxuriant, heavy and very
firm turf when it is maintained as a putting green. It is of fine texture,
hardy, and well adapted to New England soils and conditions; very resist-
ant to disease. Desirable as a golf putting green grass and as an im-
portant lawn seed mixture ingredient.

Lb. $1.50, 5 Ibs. $7.00, 10 lbs. $13.50, 25 Ibs. $31.50

BENT, Seaside (Agrostis palustris). Oregon-grown. A fine-leaved, true
creeping Bent which spreads by runners or stolons that root when they
come in contact with the soil. Used as a putting green grass, making a
fine. thick, matty sed but requiring several top dressings each season
to keep it in good condition. Not suitable for the average home lawn.

Lb. $1.50, 5 Ibs. $7.00, 10 lbs. $13.50, 25 Ibs. $31.50

BENT, Raritan Velvet (Agrostis canina). True Emerald Farm Strain.
Properly cared for, this grass makes the finest and most velvety turf of
all. It spreads by runners above ground and also by underground root
stalks. It is the only Bent grass which will thrive permanently in a
shady location. Lb. $7.50, 5 Ibs. $35.00, 10 Ibs. $66.00, 25 lbs. $152.00

FESCUE, Chewing’s (Festuca rubra var. fallax). An excellent, fineleaved,
fast-spreading grass which will withstand drought and will thrive on
loose, sandy soils which are of a somewhat acid nature. Chewing’s Fescue
will also do very well in most types of soil, in sun or shade. It is at its
best in a mixture with other grasses and should be in all good lawn mix-
tures but never sown alone.

Lb. $1.00, 5 lbs. $4.75, 10 lbs. $9.00, 25 Ibs. $21.00, 100 Ibs. $80.00

FESCUE, Creeping Red (Festuca rubra). Certified Genuine Olds Strain.
An excellent, fine-leaved grass of creeping habit which makes a beautiful
turf when combined with other grasses. Valuable in mixtures for shade.

Lb. $1.50, 5 Ibs. $7.00, 10 lbs. $18.50, 25 Ibs. $31.50

FESCUE, Meadow (English Bluegrass) (Festuca pratensis). A perennial
grass which is particularly valuable on wet pasture land. It does not
spread, but seeds itself freely and is very much relished by cattle. It
should always be mixed with other grasses, such as Orchard Grass,
Ryegrass or Kentucky Bluegrass.

Lb. 50c., 5 lbs. $2.35, 10 Ibs. $4.50, 25 lbs. $10.50, 100 lbs. $40.00

KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS (Poa pratensis). A very valuable grass for
lawns and permanent pastures on soils that are fairly rich and which
have an alkaline reaction. Kentucky Bluegrass germinates and matures
slowly and the resulting turf is not fully developed until it is two years
old. (It does not reach perfection as a pasture grass until it is at least
four years old.) For lawns, combine it with other varieties which develop
more quickly but which are gradually crowded out by this long-lived
and really permanent grass. Weight, 28 lbs. per bushel.

Lb. 50c., 5 Ibs. $2.35, 10 Ibs. $4.50. 25 Ibs. $10.50, 100 lbs. $40.00

ORCHARD GRASS (Dactylis glomerata). An excellent, fibrous-rooted
perennial grass which thrives well on light, sandy soils. Particularly
valuable on hilly slopes that wash badly, where its roots when established
penetrate deeply, preventing erosion. Withstands droughts better than
most species. Not desirable for lawn purposes, but an excellent pasture
grass; makes excellent hay when combined with Red Clover.

Lb. 65c., 5 Ibs. $2.95, 10 lbs. $5.75, 25 lbs. $13.75, 100 lbs. $52.00

RED TOP (A grostis alba). An important grass for both lawn and agricul-
tural purposes. Will thrive under a wide range of conditions. In lawn
seed mixtures it is used solely as a nurse crop to be replaced by slower
growing but more permanent grasses. Often sown with Timothy and Red
Clover for pasture purposes. Fancy or cleaned seed, 40 lbs. per bushel.

Lb. 30c., 5 Ibs. $1.45, 10 lbs. $2.75, 25 lbs. $6.50, 100 lbs. $25.00

ngdtet

RYEGRASS, Domestic (Lolium Species). A mixture of Perennial and
Italian Ryegrasses grown in the Pacific Northwest. It does not produce
a permanent turf and should never be sown alone, but it is a valuable
nurse grass because of its rapid growth. Used in both lawn and pasture
mixtures. Lb. 25c., 5 lbs. $1.20, 10 Ibs. $2.25, 25 lbs. $5.25, 100 lbs. $20.00
RYEGRASS, Perennial (Lolium perenne). A quick germinating and rapid
growing variety much used as a nurse grass for slower developing sorts
in lawn seed mixtures; valuable for hay or pasturage. Perennial Ryegrass
is seldom used alone, but is sown in combination with other grasses for
either lawn or field use.
Lb. 40c., 5 lbs. $1.90, 10 Ibs. $3.60, 25 lbs. $8.50, 100 Ibs. $32.00
TIMOTHY (Herd’s Grass) (Phleum pratense). A valuable grass for hay,
thriving best on moist, loamy soils of medium texture. Under favorable
conditions it will yield three to four tons of best quality hay per acre.
Not to be used in good lawn mixtures. Weight, 45 lbs. per bushel. '
Lb. 20c., 5 Ibs. 95c., 10 lbs. $1.80, 25 lbs. $4.25, 100 Ibs. $16.00

GRASS SEED MIXTURES

For Mowing and Grazing

In the handling of land for mowing and grazing purposes, it is very
necessary to consider whether the land is to be seeded for temporary pur-
poses or for permanent pasturage or for hay. It is very often the case that
a piece of land is seeded down for one or two years with the idea of prac-
ticing alternate husbandry by turning the land back to other crops there-
after. For such short-term seeding down, we offer special mixtures com-
posed largely of annual and biennial grasses. For seeding down land for
long-term mowing and grazing, we offer another mixture in which much
larger proportions of permanent grasses are included.

We have prepared the following mixtures which are especially suited to
our New England soils and variable climate. We recommend them with-
out qualification.

NO. 6 MIXTURE—For 1 Year’s Mowing

This mixture is composed of the following grasses and Clover in the
proper proportions: Rye Grasses, Orchard Grass, Red Top, Meadow
Fescue, Timothy, Red Clover, Alsike Clover. Sow 35 lbs. per acre.

5 Ibs. $2.35, 10 lbs. $4.50, 25 lbs. $10.50, 100 Ibs. $40.00

NO. 9 MIXTURE
For 3 Year’s Mowing or Grazing

This mixture contains the following grasses and Clovers blended for semi-
permanent seeding-down purposes. Rye Grasses, Orchard Grass, Kentucky
Bluegrass, Red Top, Meadow Fescue, Timothy, Alsike Clover, Red Clover,
Ladino White Clover. Sow 37 lbs. per acre.

5 Ibs. $2.35, 10 lbs. $4.50, 25 lbs. $10.50, 100 Ibs. $40.00

NO. 15 MIXTURE

For Permanent Mowing or Grazing

_ This mixture in carefully measured proportions contains the following
list of grasses and Clovers best adapted to permanent pasturage and mow-
ing: Rye Grasses, Orchard Grass, Chewing’s Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass,
Red Top, Meadow Fescue, Timothy, Red Clover, Alsike Clover and Ladino
White Clover. Sow 43 lbs. per acre.

5 Ibs. $2.95, 10 Ibs. $5.75, 25 lbs. $13.75, 100 Ibs. $52.00

Clovers, Field Seeds and Grains 73

LL LT TT

CLOVERS

Clovers are of vital importance to agriculture in the North and East. They
are of particular value as forage crops and also as green manure. Their
long, powerful tap-roots penetrate to great depths, loosen the soil, admit
air and they have the faculty of taking nitrogen from the air and making
available much of the inert plant food of the soil. When sown alone, use
15 lbs. per acre. Inoculate with Nodogen.

Alsike (Trifolium hybridum). A very hardy perennial Clover valuable as
a forage crop and for soil improvement Alsike is often sown with Tim-
othy and Red Clover to be used as hay and produces a crop of superior
quality. It is very free flowering and attractive to bees.

Lb. 70c., 5 lbs. $3.20, 10 Ibs. $6.00, 25 lbs. $14.00, 100 Ibs. $54.00

Bokhara or White Sweet (Melilotus alba). An excellent legume for plow-
ing under asa green manure. If cut before it becomes too coarse, it makes
very satifsactory hay. Although not relished by livestock as much as
Alfalfa, it will grow on soils much too poor for Alfalfa. A valuable crop
for beekeepers. Not suitable for lawns.

‘ Lb. 35c., 5 Ibs. $1.60, 10 Ibs. $3.00, 25 lbs. $7.00, 100 Ibs. $27.00

Crimson (Trifolium incarnatum). A rapid growing annual of great value
where only one crop is desired. Excellent for plowing under to improve
poor soils.

Lb. 35c., 5 lbs. $1.60, 10 lbs. $3.00, 25 lbs. $7.00, 100 Ibs. $27.00

Ladino White. A mammoth White Clover from the Pacific Northwest
hardy in New England. Valuable in any pasture or for permanent
mowing. Not for lawns.

Lb. $2.00, 5 lbs. $9.50, 10 Ibs. $18.00, 25 lbs. $42.50, 100 lbs. $160.00

Medium Red (Trifolium pratense). This is the common Red Clover and
by far the most important variety. It may be sown alone or in com-
bination with various other forage plants. A highly nutritive forage
crop and valuable too for plowing under to improve soils. It will grow
on a wide variety of soils but will not tolerate poorly drained land.

Mammoth Pea Vine (Trifolium pratense magnum). Of ranker growth
than Medium Red but longer lasting, therefore better for plowing under
to improve exhausted soils.

Wild White. A hardy, persistent variety of creeping habit which is excel-
lent in lawn mixtures where Clover is desired. Highly recommended for
pasture mixtures. It will stand extremely close cropping, and it blos-
soms much less than the ordinary White Clover. The leaves are small
and blend readily with other grasses to form a thick dense turf. This
type of Clover may eventually supersede the older variety.

White Dutch (Trifolium repens). This is the Clover which has been used
so widely in lawn grass mixtures. It will grow ina great variety of soils
but is most luxuriant on alkaline soils where it receives plenty of moisture.
White Clover is also a splendid pasture plant and because of its high
nutritive value the hay is very desirable for cattle.

CORN, Field Varieties

(Sow up to 20 lbs. to the acre)

Breck’s Hybrid Yellow Sweepstakes. A recently developed hybrid,
obtained by combining four different inbred strains of Dent Corn. As
high as 29 tons of good ensilage per acre have been secured here on New
England farms during the past few years. This is remarkable in latitudes
as far north as Concord, N. H. The growth is distinctly heavier, more
leafy, with larger ears and a deeper, richer green color than any ensilage
Corn in this vicinity.

7 lbs. (44 pk.) $1.00, 14 lbs. (pk.) $1.90, 56 Ibs. (bu.) $7.00

Early Yellow Canada. An extra-early, 8-rowed Flint variety with large
kernels and small cobs. Ears of medium size. A popular sort in northern
New England.

GRAINS AND FIELD SEEDS

Alfalfa, Grimsum—Certified Seed (Medicago sativa). An exceptional peren-
nial plant widely grown for both green fodder and cured hay. It has a
very high nutritive value and is greatly relished by cattle. Alfalfa is a
very deep-rooted perennial plant and will furnish a greater amount of
valuable food over a long period of years without reseeding than any
other plant grown. In spite of its long life, it does not impoverish the
soil, because, being a legume it derives a great deal of its nourishment
from the atmosphere. Since it is deep rooting, it will stand a great deal
of dry weather. The strain we offer is particularly suited to New Eng-
land soils and conditions. Inoculate with Nodogen.

BUCKWHEAT, Japanese. The largest and best variety. It is grown ex-
tensively as an article of food but is also used as a quick growing cover
crop for turning in to improve soils. 1 Ib. will sow 200 square feet, 1144
bushels to an acre. 6 lbs. (4% pk.) 50c.,

12 Ibs. (pk.) 95c., 24 Ibs. (14 bu.) $1.75, 48 lbs. (bu.) $3.00

MILLET, Golden (Panicum liliaceum var.) This is an excellent crop for
cutting and feeding green, for its yield is large and the luxuriant, juicy
foliage is very much relished by cattle. Sow at the rate of 50 Ibs. per
acre. Weight, 50 Ibs. per bushel.

5 lbs. 95c., 10 lbs. $1.80, 25 lbs. $4.25, 100 Ibs. $16.00

MILLET, Hungarian (Panicum germaniacum). This variety matures
earlier than the preceding and is of value as one of the quickest catch
crops for hay. It has a remarkable resistance to drought and will re-
main fresh and green when other vegetation is parched. Also used widely
as green feed. Sow at the rate of 50 lbs. per acre.

5 Ibs. 70c., 10 lbs. $1.35, 25 lbs. $3.15, 100 Ibs. $12.00

MILLET, Japanese (Panicum crus-galli). Distinct from other varieties.
An enormous cropper, over 6 feet high, excellent either green or as
cured hay. Broadcast at the rate of 25 Ibs. per acre: in drills 18 inches
apart, sow 15 lbs. to the acre. Weight about 35 lbs. per bushel,

5 lbs. 70c., 10 lbs. $1.35, 25 lbs. $3.15, 100 Ibs. $12.00

OATS, Breck’s King. A variety of splendid vigor, hardiness and produc-
tivity. In addition to their value as human food, Oats are the best grain
feed for horses and they are also used as a cover crop and for green manure
to improve impoverished soils. Sow at the rate of 1 lb. to 100 square feet,
or 3 bushels to the acre. 4 lbs. (4 pk.) 40c.,

8 lbs. (pk.) 75c., 16 Ibs. (14 bu.) $1.25, 32 lbs. (bu.) $2.00

RAPE, Dwarf Essex. A broadleaved plant of the Cabbage family which
is greatly relished by sheep and hogs. It is widely used as a pasture plant
and provides a great amount of forage. Sow broadcast at the rate of
6 to 8 lbs. to the acre.

Lb. 35c., 5 lbs. $1.60, 10 Ibs. $3.00, 25 Ibs. $7.00, 100 lbs. $27.00

RYE, Rosen Winter. This is the most desirable variety for New England.
It may be used for either Summer or Autumn plantings. It is usually
sown after other crops are harvested and will grow well into the Winter,
to be plowed in early the following Spring: thus soil may be improved
without losing a season’s crop and soil erosion during Winter is prevented.
Sow at the rate of 1 lb. to 150 square feet or 2 bushels to the acre.

7 lbs. 50c., 14 lbs. (pk.) 95c., 28 Ibs. $1.75, 56 lbs. (bu.) $3.00

RYE, Spring. Rye is raised extensively as a grain for human consump-
tion, but in this section of the country its chief use is for cover crops or
for green manure purposes. It is often sown with Vetch to prevent soil
erosion and to turn in to improve soils. Sow at the rate of 1 lb. to 100
square feet or 114 bushels to the acre. 7 lbs. (% pk.) 65c.,

14 lbs. (pk.) $1.15, 28 Ibs. (14 bu.) $2.00, 56 Ibs. (bu.) $4.00

able in this se: tion of the country for hay, ensilage, and also for plowing
in to improve the soil. Sow in drills at the rate of 100 lbs. per acre.

5 lbs. 45c., 10 lbs. 85c., 25 lbs. $2.10, 100 lbs. $8.00

SOYBEANS, Wilson, Black Seeded. Rank growing variety used for same
purpose as above, producing a very valuable crop. Sow in drills at rate
ot 100 Ibs. per acre. 5 lbs. 45c., 10 lbs. 85c., 25 lbs. $2.10, 100 lbs. $8.00

SOYBEANS, Yellow. A large-growing, yellow-seeded variety especially
suitable for ensilage and plowing under. Sow at the rate of 100 Ibs. per
acre. 5 lbs. 45c., 10 Ibs. 85c., 25 lbs. $2.10, 100 Ibs. $8.00

SOYBEANS, Edible—Sce page 10.

VETCH, Spring (Vicia sativa). Very much like common peas in growth
and general appearance. An annual legume. Valuable as a Summer
forage when sown early in Spring on well-cultivated and enriched ground
at the rate of 14 bushel Vetch and 2 bushels Grain (Barley or Oats) per
acre. Weight, 60 lbs. per bushel.

5 Ibs. 95c., 10 Ibs. $1.80, 25 lbs. $4.25, 100 lbs. $16.00

VETCH, Winter (Vicia villosa). Growth and appearance like Spring
Vetch. Valuable as a cover-crop or for early Spring forage. In this lati-
tude seed should be sown before September 15th so that the plants may
become well established before cold weather. It is customary to sow
from 30 to 60 lbs. of Winter Vetch with 90 Ibs. Winter Wheat or Winter
Rye per acre. If sown alone, broadcast 1 bushel per acre. Weight,
60 Ibs. per bushel. 5 lbs. $1.20, 10 Ibs. $2.25, 25 Ibs. $5.25, 100 lbs. $20.00

WHEAT, Marquis Spring. Wheat is, of course, the grain that is most
largely used in the manufacture of products for human consumption.
It is also of value as a feed for livestock, but in our section of the country
it is grown for hay, for its straw which is used for bedding livestock, and
for a green manure crop. This variety is a heavy cropping type for
Spring planting. The kernel is dark red, hard, and plump. It is beardless,
with smooth yellow chaff, and it is particularly valuable because of its
earliness. Sow at the rate of 1 lb. to 200 square feet, or 2 bushels to the
acre. 714 lbs. (44 pk.) 50c.,

15 Ibs. (pk.) 85c., 30 Ibs. (14 bu.) $2.00, 60 Ibs. (bu.) $3.50

andy Climbing Roses

The Hardy Climbing Roses are easier to grow and produce a finer display
at one time than any other flower. New varicties have been produced re-
cently which are finer in every respect than the clustered-blooming, small-
flowered type which used to be so popular. Climbing Roses may be used for
many ornamental effects and never disappoint. : ‘ |

Train them on fences, posts or trellises and they will make colorful dis-
plays in the early Summer. In this list there are recently developed varieties
that have recurring bloom following the first smashing show of early Summer.

Dormant plants are ready for shipment as early in the Spring as the
ground is workable. Plant them early and liberally. For those who must
plant late we supply pot-grown plants after May 10. We recommend early

planting of our selected dormant plants.

BRECK’S HYBRID TEA ROSES

In this classification are found the very finest Roses for general garden use and for cutting. A good many of the vena that ee offer
represent Roses that have “stood the test of time” and many of them will be found as the backbone of some of the country ue an ae
extensive private and municipal Rose gardens. The balance of the list takes in Roses of recent introduction that have shown themselves, under
careful test, to be outstanding, and particularly well suited to the climatic conditions of the Eastern Seaboard.

The plants of Hybrid Tea Roses, under normal growing conditions, will average 18 to 24 inches high. These plants bloom continuously
with a heavy bloom in June, scattering bloom all Summer, and another heavy bloom in the early Autumn.

We urge early Spring planting in the case of all dormant stock. Plant Rose bushes as soon as you receive them. Don’t expose them to
drying conditions. All varieties in LARGE TYPE are illustrated in color.

Three or more DORMANT Rose bushes to one address are shipped postpaid. When ordering
one or two dormant Roses, please add 10c. postage. All potted Roses are shipped by express.

in color and very fragrant. Stems are often 2 feet long.

Mme. Albert Barbier. Color identical to that of the lovely Mrs. Aaron
Ward—buff, salmon, and yellow. The large blooms are artistically nested
in handsome foliage and have long stems for cutting.

Mrs. John Laing. A very popular Rose of erect habit, with cup shaped
flowers of glowing pink.

S. M. Gustave V. A comparatively new variety of very real merit. The
large attractive cherry red blooms of fine form are produced not only
in June but throughout the season.

FLORIBUNDA ROSES

The Floribundas are new!! These recently developed, large-flowered
types produce blossoms of Hybrid Tea quality in a steady procession of
colorful bloom. They quite overshadow and throw into the discard
the miniature, closely-clustered flowers of the old Baby Ramblers or
Polyanthas.

All Summer long, from June until Thanksgiving, and especially while
the Hybrid Tea Roses are resting from their early season of abundant
bloom, these tremendousely worthwhile and altogether charming Roses
literally ‘“‘bloom their heads off,’’ and help to create that all-important
Midsummer smash of color that all flower lovers strive for in their borders.

Plant them with confidence, because they will surprise you and please
you in every way ! Floribundas grow vigorously into compact spreading
bushes clothed with disease-free dark green foliage, and topped with
billows of colorful bloom. Read the descriptions of the following varieties.
Select your favorite colors, and make a beginning with these really choice,
large-flowered bush Roses. Incidentally they are perfectly hardy, which
is another extremely important point in their favor.

produced in unbroken succession on strong, upright plants. The
flowers are 3 to 4 inches across, fragrant, and with light pink shading

ding Rose with flowers of Hybrid Tea

sprays throughout the season. 21% feet.

Dormant,-85c. each, 3 for $2.25
Potted, $1.00 each, 3 for $2.75

(Pat. 484) (Illustrated in color on Page 78)

The last word in dainty and profuse blooming Floribundas, with
long pointed buds of the most exquisite salmon flushed with gold
at the base. The blooms, like miniature Hybrid Teas open to a soft,
clear pink which gradually deepens toward the edges of the petals.
The plants which grow between 20 and 24 inches high are ex-
tremely hardy and very disease-resistant. Throughout the season
they produce hundreds of blooms in great clusters. The flowers
are truly exotic in their fruity fragrance.

“GOLDEN ROSE
FE CHINA

<——— (Father Hugo’s Rose)

A GLORIOUS GOLDEN SHOWER
OF BLOOM IN MAY

From the bleak wastes of Western
China comes ‘‘Father Hugo’s’” Rose.
Generations of struggle to survive have
imparted a hardiness seldom found in
the Rose family.

This graceful shrub with its arching
branches of golden flowers comes into
bloom at the same time as the Darwin
Tulips, and where these two Spring gar-
den subjects are used together in working
out a bulb garden planting, a truly rare picture of beauty may easily and
inexpensively be painted. As an informal shrub in hardy borders or as an
accent point in landscaping, the Golden Rose of China is most useful. The
single flowers are 2 inches across. The foliage is fernlike. See the picture
in the center of this page. $1.00 each, 3 for $2.75

OTHER SHRUB ROSES

Harison’s Yellow. The fine, old fashioned bush Rose which grows in old
farmyards and gardens all over New England. Thousands of bright
yellow, semi-double flowers in long sprays adorn its spreading branches
in early Summer. 85c. each, $8.50 per dozen

Rosa Rugosa. This is the original Wild Rose from Northern Japan and
Siberia. The large, single, crepe-textured flowers are bright rosy-red,
unceasingly produced throughout the entire season. A very handsome
shrub as a border plant and recommended unreservedly as the most
valuable, and hardy and satisfactory flowering shrub for seaside plant-
ing. No matter how bleak the location may be, this shrub Rose will
survive gales, sleet storms and repeated lashing by salt spray.

75c. each, $7.50 per dozen

GROUND COVER ROSE

Rosa Wichuraiana. “The Memorial Rose,’’ as it is often called, has the
purest of -Ppure white flowers, which are carried in clusters, above the
mat of shiny green foliage that densely covers the ground. Excellent for
underplanting, or for preventing erosion on steep banking. The foliage
is almost evergreen. 85c. each, 3 for $2.50

of 2 or 3 feet at maturity; it thrives in sun or partial shade.

CLIMBING VINES

Climbing and trailing plants have a distinct place in the garden and
home grounds, where they alone can cover walls, fences or arbors, and
provide screens against unsightly objects, particularly where ground
area is restricted. They should be selected for foliage as well as for
flowering values.

LONICERA halliana (Hall's Japanese Honeysuckle). Of vigorous
growth, this fragrant, yellowish-white Honeysuckle can be grown in
semi-shade as wellas in fullsunlight. Not critical as to soil; frequently
used as a ground cover for rough banks.

60c. each, $1.50 for 3, $4.50 for 10

POLYGONUM auberti (Chinese Fleece-vine). This vigorous, rambling
climber bears sheets of snowy white flowers from Midsummer until
frost. Makes tremendous growth in one season. 90c. each $2.50 for 3

AMPELOPSIS tricuspidata (Boston Ivy). This familiar Ivy clings to
any surface, and is in universal use for covering the walls of buildings,
where it reaches a great height. Pot-grown plants. 90c. each, $2.50 for 3

HYDRANGEA petiolaris (Climbing Hydrangea). 50 {t. A very beauti-
ful, rather rare variety of Climbing Hydrangea, with overlapping,
mosiac-like leaves. It produces sheets of round, flat clusters of white
flowers in June and July. Will cling to brick or masonry. Very hardy.
Strong plants from 3-in. pots. $1.25 each, $3.25 for 3

ARISTOLOCHIA sipho (Dutchman’s Pipe). 25 ft. This very vigorous
vine is excellent for porches, its immense, heart-shaped leaves pro-
viding a cool, dark shade. The purple flowers are of most curious,
pipelike form. Strong plants from 3%-in. pots. $1.25 each, $3.25 for 3

CLEMATIS

CLEMATIS paniculata (Sweet Autumn Clematis). Rapid-growing,
notable for its masses of sweet-scented, small white flowers in Sep-
tember. 75c. each, $1.95 for 3

CLEMATIS—LARGE-FLOWERING
Jackmani. Large purple-blue flowers. The best of the dark blue
varieties. 6-in. pots. $1.50 each
Henryi. Creamy white. Very large flowers. 6-in. pots. $1.50 each

HARDY HEDGE PLANTS

Many shrubs and evergreens are suitable for hedging purposes. Planted
close together and sheared occasionally, they develop a dense, twiggy
growth quite unlike their natural habit. These are commonly-used hedge
materials.

Japanese Barberry. Excellent for a low hedge, either close sheared
or Se growth. 15 to 18 in., $20.00 per 100; 18 to 24 in., $25.00
per :

California Privet. Quick-growing, glossy green, for formal hedges to
“finish’’ from 2% to 6 ft. high, where low cost is essential.

Extra heavy. 18 to 24 in., $15.00 per 100; 2 to 3 ft., $18.00 per 100

(known as Malling No. 9) they are totally dif-
ferent from all other varieties of the midget
tree type. You can plant these trees in your
own yard knowing beforehand that they will
not grow out of bounds. The little girl, the
little tree and all the big fruit tell the story bet-
ter than we can tell it in words. Just look at
the picture to the left.

Our only caution is to plant two or more trees
of different varieties and not just one, unless
there are other Apple trees already growing
close by, for pollination.

Our supply of these trees is limited

BLUEBERRIES

Hybrid Blueberries have become amazingly popular for home garden
growing. Success with them depends on three things: (1) suitable
acid soil conditions; (2) proper planting; (3) planting several varieties
in order to insure cross pollination.

From the five varieties listed below we select three varieties, which
we ship in ‘‘Units of three”

THREE STRONG BUSHES (three varieties, our $995 per
choice) carefully wrapped and postpaid, for — unit

Cabot. Earliest. Dwarf growth. Fine quality.
Concord. Early. Large berries. Sweet.

Jersey. Midseason. Huge berries. Vigorous grower.
Rancocas. Early. Large berries. Slender growth.
Rubel. Midseason. Very productive. Top quality.

HARDY GRAPES

One of the most satisfying home-garden fruits because of it easy,
interesting culture, and because Grapes are grown on a trellis or fence
and require little ground-area. Set the vines 10 feet apart and provide
a support 6 feet or more in height.

2-year vines, 60c. each, $1.50 for 3, $4.50 for 10
Concord. The best-known of all the Grapes; late, black.
Brighton. A sweet, red Grape growing well in New England.
Niagara. The white Grape preferred by most growers.

DWARF
PEARS

Each $2.00

For three $5.00

These small stature
trees are recommended
for backyard planting.
Plant two varieties for
cross pollination to in-
sure large crops.

Bartlett. Fine shape
and color. Excellent
flavor.

Duchess. A _ depend-
able Pear of large size
and fine quality. Juicy
and sweet.

Seckel. Our very finest
small-sized quality
Pear. Universally
liked. Ripens in early
October.

STANDARD PEARS
Each $1.50 For three $4.00 For ten $12.00

Dark purple fruits.

Napoleon. Beautiful large fruits of excellent flavor. Yellow with red
cheeks.

Early Richmond. Our choice of sour Cherry for pies and preserves;
thin skinned and freestone.

SMALL FRUITS

Berries of all kinds are becoming important crops for home gar-
dens. The outlook “‘for the duration” is that fruits—both fresh and
preserved—may be not too easy to get. All berries produce abundant |
crops in a comparatively short time. Plant early in the Spring and

plant liberally.
STRAWBERRIES |

The term ‘‘specialized culture’ has too often been applied to the
raising of Strawberries. To the average gardener who just naturally |
keeps his ground properly tilled, the home growing of really fine
Strawberries should present no problem.

Runner plants for April and May planting—$1.60 for 50 plants,
$2.85 for 100

Catskill. Midseason. Heavy yielding, producing fruit of large size
and excellent quality.

Dorsett. Early. A favorite for the home garden. Large, sweet, and
of high color.

Fairfax. Another of the preferred early varieties. Dark red fruit,
firm, and of rich flavor.

Marshall. An old-time favorite that is still very popular. Its rich, |
dark fruit marks the peak of the Strawberry season.

Gem. This new, everbearing variety brings improved flavor to the
long-season type of Strawberry. We can recommend this Straw-
berry for general garden planting here in New England.

RASPBERRIES See

Of easy culture, growing well
in any good soil and sunny expo-
sure. Set the plants 3 feet apart.
$1.25 for 10 plants, $10.00 for

100 except as noted

Columbian. A large purple berry
of distinctive, rich flavor.

Cumberland. The best of the
“Black-caps.”’

Latham. Popular red variety,
late and sweet.

Indian Summer. A fine, large,
red berry of the ‘“‘everbearing”’
type; a recent introduction.
$1.50 for 10 plants, $13.50 for
100.

BLACKBERRIES

We have selected one variety
Eldorado, which is an all-round
good Blackberry; large fruit of ex-
cellent flavor.

$1.25 for 10 plants, $10.00 per

ground to soak in. This method of watering
encourages deep, sturdy roots. The Water-
wand’s over-all length of 52 in. enables the
user to reach to the back of large flower beds
easily. Discharge head, 134 in. in diameter and
134 in. long. All parts beautifully finished

Soaker is made of porous canvas. Attached to
a garden hose it fills up and, under normal pres-
sure, water seeps through every pore of its
entire length, soaking directly into the soil.
No spray and no waste.

BREXONE FOR LAWNS anp
FLOWER GARDENS

Brexone for Lawns and Flower Gardens has made a really great name
for itself in the comparatively short time that has elapsed since its intro-
duction. Our files are crowded with flattering comments relative to this
amazingly effective plant food. Brexone has a 100% organic base of the
highest grade. All of the important plant food elements, including Nitro-
gen, Phosphorus and Potash are included in this remarkable formula which
incidentally contains no useless filler. In compliance with War-Time regu-
lations, we have made certain necessary changes in the original formula.
Eas ae 5-10-4, however, continues to be a product that we can be justly
proud of.

_ Owing to government control, we have been unable to definitely estab-
lish prices for 1943 in time for printing in this catalog. Prices when estab-
lished will unquestionably be fair. We will quote prices whenever requested,
but our customers may safely order their requirements without hesitation
as to these prices being out of line with the quotations of other years.
Don’t delay! Order early !

LOMA

A well known and well liked general purpose fertilizer that has always
satisfactorily served the home owner for lawns, trees, shrubs, etc. Now,
manufactured and sold under war-time restrictions imposed by the U. S.
Government. Prices on application

BREXONE FOR VEGETABLES

This Brexone 4-10-10 conforms to all Government regulations and is
formulated so as to serve the best interests of the war effort. We recommend
it unreservedly to vegetable growers, large and small, and to all those
horticulturists who specialize in the growing of fruits—and flowers as well.

Brexone for Vegetables represents a 100% organic base fertilizer. The
organic Nitrogen carrier used has been selected because of its fine quality
and its adaptability to the particular needs of a plant food that feeds slowly,
steadily and effectively instead of all at once. Both phosphate and potash
are in highest available form. This quality fertilizer will produce top qual-
ity crops. We feel that it will meet the most exacting requirements of home
gardeners and estate owners. Prices as in the case of Brexone for Lawns
and Gardens will be established when Government regulations are known.
(See last paragraph under Brexone to the left).

CHEMICAL AND BACTERIAL
AIDS TO PLANT GROWTH

(NOT FERTILIZERS)
ROOTONE

The plant hormone powder. Rootone is not a fertilizer or plant food but
is a root forming stimulant. Just dip cuttings into the powder. Shake off
any excess and plant. Rooting takes place in a much shorter time, heavier
root system is formed and fewer die from disease. When seeds and bulbs are
dusted with Rootone before planting, germination is quicker and root
growth faster and heavier. 14-o0z. pkt. (sufficient to treat 400 cuttings,
21% Ibs. of seed, or 100 bulbs) 25c., 2-oz. jar, $1.00; 1-lb. can, $5.00.

TRANSPLANTONE

A vitamin-hormone stimulant for plants. Transpiantone is a water
soluble powder containing Vitamin B-1 and other parts of the Vitamin B
fraction, plus certain plant hormones which are active in root forma-
tion. Dissolve one level teaspoonful of Transplantone in one gallon
of water. Soak the soil around the plant roots with this solution immedi-
ately after transplanting. The hcrmones aid in the formation of new
roots while the Vitamin B chemicals stimulate their continued growth.
14-oz. pkg. (sufficient for 5 gallons of transplant solution) 25c., 3-o0z. can

$1.00, 1-Ib. can $4.00

FRUITONE

Fruitone is a powder containing the synthetic hormones which have
been found by the United States Department of Agriculture to be most ef-
fective in stopping the premature drop of Apples. Fruitone is a spray ma-
terial and should be mixed at the rate of 1 level teaspoonful to 1 gallon
of water or 2 ounces to 25 gallons. The trees should be sprayed immedi-
ately, when dropping begins. With the use of Fruitome Apples can be
held on the tree longer so that they attain a higher color and a better size.

2/5 oz. pkg. 25c., 2-oz. can $1.00, 12-0z. can $5.00

HORMODIN

The root forming chemical. Hormodin stimulates rapid root growth on
plant cuttings and makes easy the rooting of many plants which were
formerly impossible or very difficult to root. Hormodin powders simplify
the treatment of cuttings. The moistened stems are simply dipped in
Hormodin and then gently tapped to remove the excess powder before
setting them in the sand. Because different plants require different treat-
ments, Hormodin Powder has been developed in three strengths to parallel
the range of hormones in nature.

Powder No. 1. Designed primarily for use on Carnations, Chrysanthe-
mums, Poinsettias, Roses and similar types. Many house, garden and
greenhouse plants are included in the complete list.

Trial size pkg. 25c., 134-oz. tin 50c., 1-lb. tin $3.00

Powder No. 2. Designed for use on less sensitive species which comprise
many of the semi-woody types and many of the common shrubs.

134-oz. tin 75c., 1-lb. tin $4.50

Powder No. 3. Designed for use with the more resistant species which
comprise most of the evergreens and dormant leafless cuttings.

l-oz. tin $1.00, 14-lb. tin $4.50

Combination Package. Powders No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 in | carton, 75c.

BREXONE VITAMIN B-1

Vitamin B-1 is a root invigorator, not a fertilizer. It stimulates the
growth of roots and thus enables plants to derive the greatest benefit from
the soil in which they grow. Through its use marvelous results have been
achieved with house plants. Nurserymen have found it particularly effec-
tive in rooting cuttings which are ordinarily difficult to start. Vitamin B-1
solution is used for the soaking of seeds before planting, with fine results
and is excellent for the watering of seedlings. A drop of Vitamin B-1 in
2 quarts of water is sufficient. A 2-ounce bottle will make 500 gallons of solu-
tion. Detailed directions for use accompany each bottle. 2-0z. bottle 50c.

NOD-O-GEN
A PURE CULTURE OF NODULE BACTERIA

The nitrogen-gathering bacteria furnished in a humus base causes
nodules to develop on the roots of legume crops. These nodules
gather nitrogen from the air and convert it into plant-food, saving plant-
food in the soil. Full directions accompany every package. When ordering
be sure to state what crop you wish to inoculate.

Special Garden Size. Combining bacteria for Peas, Beans, Sweet Peas
and Lupines. Sufficient for about 5 lbs. of seed. Pkg. 10c,

LILIUM REGALE
Regal Lily
April
One of the loveliest Lilies grown and probably
the most satisfactory here in New England.
Growing to a height of from 3 to 6 feet, it bears,
in July, from 2 or 3 to 12 or more immense,
fragrant, trumpet-shaped flowers of pure white
with a flush of yellow at the base of the petals
and pure golden anthers. The reverse side of
the petals is stained with deep purplish red.
The Regal Lily will grow in almost any reason-
ably good soil but prefers a deep rich loam
containing a large percentage of humus. Plant
deeply, at least four times the diameter of the
bulb below the surface of the soil.

Large Bulbs, 25c. each; $2.65 per doz.; $5.00

The modern Dahlias is a flower of great variety.

DAHLIAS

Phere are numberless kinds varying in size from huge blooms over 12 inches

across to tiny flowers not much larger than a dime. The colors range from the purest white through shades of pink and rose to scarlet,
crimson and deep maroon, almost black as well as yellow, orange, lavender, lilac and purple. The flower forms vary too but they have
been grouped by type under the following general headings—Decorative, Cactus, Show or Ball-shaped, Pompon and Single. The Mini-
ature group is made up of Dahlias which have these same varied forms but the flowers are under 4 inches in diameter.

See ex ; 2 oe Bes ae Sap tree sues : ied $ ‘ ° eae : 9 ;
There are plants which grow only 2 or 3 feet high while others grow up to 6 or 7 feet; some are of branching habit and others

straight and upright.

Dahlias for every purpose. Strong, hardy, eastern grown divisions which with reasonable culture will give a wealth of color from late
Summer throughout the Autumn until frost. Flowers to beautify the garden and brighten the home.

Gladiolus, Pelegrina

IMPORTANT
| During the past several years Gladiolus
have suffered badly from infestations of
Thrips and it has become necessary to
treat aJl bulbs before planting to rid them
of these pests. All of our bulbs have been
| so treated, but if you have other bulbs,
they should be treated before planting be-
cause the insects will spread rapidly.
Soak the bulbs for six hours in a solu-
tion of Lysol, using 4 teaspoonfuls of
Lysol to each gallon of water. Several
lots may be treated at the same time by
tying up each ina cloth bag. A wood label
marked with an indelible pencil, may be
used to tag them.

—A word as to the covers and something |
about gardening for victory

Grout Cauer —“Springlime in Ahe Garden a

Robins on the front lawn, warm mellow earth, seeds, tools, ‘‘Spring fever,” all signal
the gardener that another planting season is at hand—with its opportunities to grow better,
tastier, and more succulent vegetables, to grow old favorite flowers, to adventure with

The Front Cover of our Book symbolizes all these things. It perhaps well expresses
the urge of Spring, the push from within, the beckoning hand as it were, suggesting the
turning of pages in order to see the mysteries and magic of gardening that lie within.

Back Cover —The Seasou of Aaruest”

What is more satisfying, more soul-stirring than the Autumn Harvest of well-ripened
Fruits and vitamin-filled Vegetables, the products of your own foresight and care through
the growing season? Our Back Cover, we feel, carries this message of accomplishment,
the Victory won after the battles of the Summer are over.

“Gardening for Victory’’ is no empty phrase, for from our gardens we can obtain
not only the fruits and vegetables so important for health but more, much more than that!
Gardening affords no end of pleasure as well as relaxation from the wear and tear that
the struggles and stress of a war existence impose upon us. Get out into the sun, roll Wp ec
the sleeves, and start turning the fertile soil that good old Mother Earth has provided—tree. |
