WILSON’S GLORIOUS GLADIOLUS
ALL FIRST SIZE BULBS — (ORDER EARLY)
All Same Price — 85 cts. per dozen; $6.50 per 100
For treating gladioli bulbs for thrips, use 4 teaspoon fuls Pratt’s 25% DDT to each gallon of water. Treat
bulbs before storing and just before planting. Allow bulbs to remain in solution 15 minutes
CULTURE — Any good garden soil, thoroughly prepared and manured, is suitable. Bone Meal in fall or cow
manure (Bovung) in spring are particularly good. If the soil is stiff, add sand or sifted ashes.
Gladioli do best in full sun. Plant in rows, 6 inches apart in the row and 6 inches deep, rows 12 inches
apart. Continue to plant every 2 weeks till July for a succession. Frequent cultivation is advisable. Water
copiously. Take up bulbs in fall before ground begins to freeze and put in a warm, sunny place, for a few
days, to dry. Cut off stems close to bulb. Put bulbs (corms) in boxes not over 4 inches deep and keep in a
dry cool place till spring.
Cut spikes as soon as the first one or two flowers are open. The remainder will open in the house.

WILSON'S EVERGREEN LAWN MIXTURES
A beautiful lawn enhances the beauty of the entire landscape; increases property values. From an original photograph.
WILSON’S EVERGREEN LAWN SEED For 30 years Wilson’s Evergreen Lawn Seed has been the
choice of people who demand finer lawns. Based on years of
extensive study and experimentation, Wilson’s Evergreen is an exclusive Wilson formula. It is composed
of fine, recleaned perennial grasses, to which have been added sufficent annual grasses to crowd out
weeds, establish a quick stand of lawn, and protect the finer grasses until they are firm!y established.
A Single Pound of Wilson’s Evergreen Is Enough for 200 Square Feet

WILSON’S EVERGREEN WITH BENT |... a aS mate
Evergreen with imported and domestic bents
grass is used on putting greens of most golf courses because it forms a rich, carpet-like turf that may be
cut close without fear of injury to the plants. Bent lawns require generous applications of fertilizer and
constant care. Such lawns, however, repay time and labor spent, for the rich, permanent turf a Bent
mixture produces, furnishing the perfect setting for house and garden.
One pound enough for 200 square feet
Quantity 1 Ib 5 Ib 10 Ib 25 Ib
Prices $1.25 $6.00 $11.50 $27.00
NOTE: To attempt to make a lawn without adequate and proper fertilizer is futile.
Wilson’s Lawn Enricher is designed to supply the necessary nutrients to Wilson's
Evergreen Lawn Seed mixtures. It should be used on both new and old lawns. See p. 31.

Vegetable Cultural Directions «2 paces)
ASPARAGUS. Sow in April in rows 1 foot apart, in
well manured, sandy loam. When the plants are
one or two years old, put them into beds 3 to 4 feet
apart, from 1% to 2 feet between the plants in the
row. Cover with 2 or 3 inches of soil. A dressing of
salt, 8 ounces to the square yard is recommended
every spring. Cut off tops in September, and on the
approach of winter, cover with manure or straw.
STRING BEANS (Green and Wax). Sow early in
May and for succession every 2 weeks until late
August. Plant Beans 2 inches deep and 2 inches
apart in the row, the rows 1% to 2 feet apart; hoe
frequently to the time of blossoming, but only
when vines are dry, always drawing the soil toward
the rows.
BUSH LIMA BEANS. When frost danger is over and
soil has become warm, sow Beans in rich. light
loam in rows 2 feet apart, 3 to 4 inches apart in the
rows, cover to depth of 1 in., eyes down. Hoe often.
POLE LIMA BEANS. Pole Beans, especially Limas,
are very sensitive to cold and wet, and if planted in
cold or soggy soil will rot. Set the poles 4 feet
apart each way and, when danger of frost is past,
plant four or five Beans around each pole 1 inch
deep, eyes down. When the young plants come up,
thin to three to the pole; hoe and cultivate freely.
Top-dress with Wilson’s 5-10-5 fertilizer.
POLE STRING OR SHELL BEANS. After settled
warm weather, set poles 6 to 8 feet long in rows 4
feet apart extending north and south, poles be-
ing 3 feet apart in the row. Let the poles slant
slightly toward the north. Around each pole plant
five to eight Beans 1% to 2 inches deep. When well
started thin to four plants.
BEETS. Sow in spring, when the apple is in bloom
about 1 inch deep in rows 1 foot apart. When plants
have made three or four leaves, thin to 4 inches
apart. Cultivate thoroughly. For succession, sow
every two weeks until Aug. 1.
BROCCOLI. Sow in hotbeds early in March; when
plants are sufficiently large, transplant to cold-
frames and harden by gradual exposure. Set out in
the open ground as soon as the weather will permit,
in rows 3 feet apart and 2 feet apart in rows. Give
young plants a good watering, when set out, with
a 100-to-1 solution of Nitrate of Soda. and again
ten days or two weeks later.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS. Same culture as Cabbage.
CABBAGE. For early crop sow in hotbeds in Feb-
ruary or March % inch deep and prick out into
coldframes to harden. When danger of frost is over
plant in the open in rows 2% feet apart and 2 feet
apart in the row. For second early crop sow in
April and for late crop in June. Sow Chinese Cab-
bage in August.
CAULIFLOWER. Same culture as Broccoli. Cauli-
flower must be kept growing without check and
must be watered copiously.
OPENING THE ROW. Use the corner of the hoe to open the
rows. A line to mark the row insures. straight rows, making
cultivation easier.
CARROT. For early crops sow % inch deep soon as
the ground can be worked and for general crop in
May. For sucession sow at intervals to July. Rows
12 to 18 inches apart. Cover seed light y and firm
well in the soil. When plants are large enough to
handle, thin to 38 or 4 inches apart in row. Hoe
often. Can stand light frost.
CELERY. Sow early in spring in well prepared rich
soil, in rows, covering seed about four times its size
and firming well into the soil with a board. See that
soil is kept moist till seeds germinate. In July, set
the plants 6 inches apart in rows 38 to 4 feet apart.
Draw the earth up to them as they grow, but be
careful not to allow any to get into the hearts. Will
not thrive in very acid soil.
CHICORY. Sow early in spring, in rows about 2
feet apart, in light, rich soil. When plants are large
enough thin out to 6 inches apart.
COLLARDS. Same culture as Cabbage.
CORN SALAD. Sow in rows 1 foot apart in earlv
spring and in August, September and October. If
sown in October the plants require protection.
CORN, SWEET. As soon as the soil is warm, p!ant
about 2 inches deep in hills 3 to 4 feet apart each
way, about six seeds to the hill in well drained soil.
When the plants come up, thin out and allow the
strongest three to remain. Hoe often. For succes-
sion, plant every ten-days to tenth of July.
CRESS. Sow in spring as soon as the ground can
be worked, in shallow drills about 1 foot apart,
covering the seed lightly. When the young plants
are well up, thin to 4 inches apart in the row. For
succession sow every ten days up to June and from
end of August. Will not thrive in summer.
CUCUMBER. Sow in May in hills 4 feet apart each
way. Put in ten seeds to the hi-. and cover about 1
inch deep. When plants have 4 leaves thin out and
leave strongest 4. For succession plant up to July.
Will not thrive on very acid soil.
DANDELION. For early use. sow in April; for
late use in June or July. Sow in drills covering
lightly. When plants are about 3 inches high thin
to 1 foot apart in the rows; cultivate well, and
when nearly full grown, and when plants are dry,
blanch by tying the leaves together.
EGGPLANT. Sow seeds in hotbed or greenhouse
early in March. Put: young plants intow234-imen
pots. In May or June take out of the pots and plant
in the open ground, in rich soil, in rows 3 feet apart
and 2 to 8 feet apart in row. Hoe frequently and
mulch during warm weather. Use fruits only while
they remain glossy. Use a commercial fertilizer
strong in potash.
ENDIVE. Same culture as Dandelion.
SOWING THE SEED. Tear a corner off the ‘seed | packen and
sow seed evenly—not too thickly—by tapping packet with
under finger.

CULTURAL DIRECTIONS FOR VEGETABLES ON PAGES 12 and 13
SOWING ANNUALS
All annuals can be sown in the garden in May
when the ground is warm, either in a seed-bed or
directly where they are to grow. There are some,
such as Poppies, Eschscholtzia, Mignonette, Centau-
rea, etc., which, on account of lack of fibrous roots,
cannot be transplanted without setback. These
should be sown, either broadcast or in rows, in the
location desired. Most annuals, however, benefit by
being transplanted so as to develop a better root-
system. These are better started in a cold-frame
on a prepared seed-bed deeply dug and finely sifted.
Most flower seeds are small and should be covered
with only about % inch of soil; the very fine seeds
are simply pressed into the soil. Water carefully,
so as not to wash the seed out, and Keep the soil
moist. On warm, sunny days some shade should be
given. When the seedlings are large enough to
handle, they can be transplanted 1 inch apart into
another seed-bed, or if they are not too close to-
gether, they may be left in the original bed until
large enough to transplant into permanent places.
Always remember that flowers need good soil, an
open sunny situation, and sufficient space between
the plants.
STARTING SEEDS IN HOTBEDS OR BOXES
Many annuals, such as Snapdragons, Stocks, Asters,
Carnations, Cockscomb, Cosmos, Dahlias, Pinks,
Heliotrope, Lobelia, Pansies, Petunias, Phlox, Sal-
piglossis, Salvia, Vinca, Verbenea, if sown outside
do not bloom until quite late in the summer, but
you can have them early if you sow the seed in the
hotbed. March is about the best time except for
Lobelias, and Stocks, which can be started in Feb-
ruary. Sow either directly in the hotbed in shallow
drills or in pans or boxes. The soil should be light,
finely sifted, and well watered. Scatter seeds evenly,
not too thinly. After sowing press the soil down
with a flat board and cover with newspaper to
prevent too rapid evaporation. This covering must
be removed as soon as the seedlings are up. Always
water through a fine rose, and only when neces-
sary, with tepid water and as much as possible in
the forenoon or midday on bright sunny days.
When seedlings have four leaves, transplant in
Similar boxes 1 inch apart or singly into small
pots, shifting into larger ones if necessary. Ven-
tilate according to the weather and gradually
harden the plants, setting them out when all dan-
ger of frost is past and the soil is warm. Cultivate
frequently and stimulate plant growth by applying
a top dressing of cow manure or bone meal to the
soil at frequent intervals. Keep seed-pods removed;
never allow withered flowers to remain on the
plants if you want them to bloom all season.
HOW TO GROW PERENNIALS
Perennials will bloom the second year from seed
and are permanent thereafter. Most of them are so
hardy that they do not require protection during
winter. We find among them some of our most
beautiful cut-flowers and many of the old-fashioned
favorites. A hardy border is a continual source of
joy; from earliest spring to late autumn it will be
resplendent with color. Once established, such bor-
ders need no other attention than to be kept free
from weeds and to be given an occasional top-dres-
sing with fertilizer.
WHEN TO SOW PERENNIALS
Many of the hardy flowers will bloom the first
year from seed if sown in the hotbed in February
or March. Outdoors they may be sown any time
from May lst to August. A coldframe is an ideal
place, but, if you have no coldframe, perpare a
seed-bed of finely sifted light soil, made rich by
adding and mixing with it cow manure or bone-
meal. Sow the seed in shallow drills or squares of
suitable size, partitioned off with laths; cover %
inch or more, according to the size of the seed—the
very fine ones should only be pressed into the soil
with a flat board—water gently but thoroughly
and do not allow the soil to become dry while the
seed is in process of germination, for as soon as
the seed has sprouted and until it becomes a plant
with rocts, its life depends entirely on soil-mois-
ture. Seed-beds must be shaded from the sun in
Summer and carefully watched and watered until
the plants have made from four to five leaves.
Most hardy flower seeds germinate in from eight to
fourteen days, though some take a month or more,
so do not become impatient. If seedlings come up
too thick, pull out some and transplant elsewhere
in boxes or other seed-beds, and when the plants
are large enough set them out in their permanent
places. This should not be done later than October
Ist, in order to allow sufficient time for them to
take firm root before frost. Cover with leaves or
salt hay, applied after the ground is frozen.

Fertilizers
and Soil
Conditioners
There are probably no more important and no more
frequently neglected gardening functions than proper
fertilizing and soil conditioning. A definite distinction
exists between fertilizing and soil conditioning. A fer-
tilizer must perform either exclusively or as its principal
function the feeding of plants by supplying chemical
nutrients to the soil from which the plant feeds. The func-
tion of the soil conditioner is to produce suitable soil
texture. For example, (the use in) recommended quanti-
ties of WILSON'S 6-8-6, 5-10-5, or similar formulas, feed
the plants by supplying nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash in the order of and in the percentages shown by
the three figures of the fertilizer formula. On the other
hand, the use of peat moss, humus, etc., binds loose,
sandy soils and breaks down soil particles in heavy,
clay soils but is of little importance in supplying the soil
with plant nutrients. There are, however, organic fer-
tilizers such as Bovung, Sheep Manure, Poultry Manure
and Driconure which serve the two-fold function of as-
sisting in proper soil conditioning as well as offering
all three of the principal fertilizing elements.
LIME — VALUABLE CONDITIONER
There is no broad, all-encompassing answer to your
particular fertilizing. problem since both soil texture and
soil richness varies with location, past fertilizing prac-
tices, etc. If your soil is heavy, clayey and inclined to
form hard crusts, the use of sand, lime, limestone, gravel,
humus or peat moss will modify and ultimately correct
the condition. The same ingredients with the exception
of sand and gravel will help bind loose, sandy soils.
Lime and Limestone are of -particular value because
lime is not only a soil conditioner, but makes plant
foods available more rapidly and acts as a corrective
for excessive soil acidity. Lime, however, should not be
applied indiscriminately either to lawns or gardens. The
existence of soil acidity may be determined by a chem-
ical test and lime applied to acid areas in quantities
indicated by the test. You can make such tests yourself,
economically and easily, by using the Sudbury Soil Test
Kit (see page 2). Similar soil tests should be made to
determine your fertilizer needs.
For general use a complete chemical fertilizer or an
organic fertilizer is recommended. Either of these or
similar fertilizers may be incorporated with the soil
when the lawn or garden site is dug, may be used as
“side dressing’’ on lawns and flower beds. Most of
these fertilizers may also be used in liquid form.
CONCENTRATED PLANT FOODS
Plant foods, such as Hyponex, are highly concen:
trated and are always diluted in water before applica:
tion. Such fertilizers are of particular benefit in stimu.
lating growing plants and in transplanting seedlings.
When used in transplanting, such diluted fertilizers are
known as “‘starter solutions” because, by minimizing the
effects of transplanting shock to the plant, they get the
seedling off to a good start in its new location.
In addition to the many excellent commercially pre-
pared fertilizers and soil conditioners offered in our
catalog, you can make your own fertilizer. By using
Adco on your accumulation of garden refuse you can
produce in your own plot enough fertilizer for the fol-
lowing season’s needs. Adco, by supplying the three
important fertilizing elements, plus Vitamin Bi, forms a
fertilizer of organic origin which acts efficienily as a
soil conditioner as well as a complete fertilizer. The use
of sulphate of ammonia and superphosphate applied at
the rate of one-half ounce to the square yard and aug-
mented by hardwood ashes and limestone will also fer-
tilize and break down a compost heap of garden refuse
but is less convenient to use than Adco.

One-element fertilizers are used to supply crop re-
quirements, to incorporate with other fertilizers or to
supply soils deficient only in one element. Muriate of
Potash and Hardwood Ashes, which are rich in potash,
are used for root vegetable crops such as carrots, beets,
parsnip, etc. Cotton Seed Meal, rich in ammonia and
potash, is ecellent for many grasses. Nitrate of Soda,
a powerful nitrogen fertilizer, is frequently used as a
side dressing on lettuce, cabbage, beans, etc., to keep
the plants growing steadily. Aluminum and Ammonium
Sulphate supply nitrogen and make soil acid and are
excellent for use with Rhododendrons and other broad-
leaved acid loving plants. Superphosphate, while some-
times used independently, is more frequently incorpor-
ated with other fertilizers to increase phosphoric acid
content.
