Grou Your Ouin GARDEN
Victory Gardeners, first enthused by patriotism, have now learned that the home
garden promotes better health and better nutrition.
And the housewife has experienced the pleasure and economy of serving vege-
tables fresh from her own garden.
We urge you to continue your interests in gardening. It promotes neighborhood
friendliness, good health and saves you money.
But—when you plan your garden, remember that good seeds are the founda-
tion of a good garden.
Insist on Barteldes Seeds. They have been producing fine vegetables and beau-
tiful flowers for 79 years.

Planting Instructions should be sown in March or April, in rows 14 inches apart,
and lightly covered with a layer of soil Yo to %-inch deep. When the seed is up the
plants should be thinned out. The permanent bed should be prepared by digging a
trench 18 inches wide and 20 inches deep. Fill this one-third full of well-rotted manure.
Half fill the remaining space with good soil and transplant the clumps one foot apart.
Cover to surface. The stocks should not be cut until a year after planting and then
but lightly. Full harvest may be taken after this.

BEANS
...the most profitable garden crop
And one of the most satisfactory and productive vegetables.
Easy to grow, and may be canned or frozen for winter use.
Garden Beans fall into two distinct classes, namely Bush and
Pole Beans. Each of these classes is again subdivided into
Kidney and Lima Beans. The Kidney Beans of the bush type
are either Wax Podded or Green Podded in character, as are
also the Pole Beans of this class. Lima Beans are either of the
Bush or Pole Type.

different conditions and locations
make it impossible to predict the
exact number of days required to
mature any given vegetable, we
have, for your convenience, listed
the approximate number of days re-
quired to mature these varieties in

60. ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING
A distinct variety for the home garden. Plant forms a central head,
fairly compact cluster of flower buds resembling cauliflower, except
that it is green in color. This variety has become very popular not
only because of its green color and greater vitamin content, but be-
cause there is less grief in its culture. Nevertheless, the same favor-
able soil and climatic conditions favor the full development of
sprouting broccoli. The seeds are usually planted indoors about ten
weeks before planting in the spring, or sown in the open for a fall
crop. The home gardener can well consider broccoli ahead of cauli-
flower, since he will find the tender leaves about the stem, as well
as the secondary flower clusters which develop after the first cut-
ting, a good substitute for other greens. Center head can be cut
about sixty days after planting and smaller heads on side branches
{ throughout the summer. Delicious and healthful. Pkt., 10c.

Planting Instructions
The different kinds of cabbages
vary so much that it is impossible
to lay down precise rules for the
cultivation of even each entire
class or section. A cool, moist cll-
mate has been proven the most
suitable of all for culture of cab-
bages. Heat and drought are very
injurious to them, while they grow
well in moist, foggy weather, even
when somewhat cold. The ground
should be dug rather deeply and
plentifully fertilized. Cover the
seed 17 to '% inch deep. Early va-
rieties may be set as close as 16-or
118 inches, the rows being 30 to 36
inches apart. For late varieties
leave 18 to 24 inches between
plants. Plants started In _ cold
frames areneet cue early. in ape
and seeds planted a e same tim
Vel eee let - will give Ants for succession crop.
Plants for the late crop are started in May or June. These are then trans-
planted to where the crop is to grow. Plants should be watered from time
to time during the summer, and should be protected from Insects.
Our cabbage seed is very carefully selected and true to type. One
ounce of seed will produce about 2,000 plants.

DANVER'’S 2 LONG
No home garden would be complete without a goodly supply of carrots planted for a succession, which can be achieved both
by planting at different dates and by a choice of varieties.
Although light, sandy loam solls produce the smoothest and straightest carrots, all deep loam soils (except the heaviest
clays) will produce satisfactory crops. Enormous yields are produced on muck solls. The home gardener is interested in grow-
ing the tender and, so far as possible, the coreless varieties.
Carrots are remarkably free from insects andplant diseases.

tinue to live and bloom each suc-
ceeding year.

SWEET WILLIAM (Dianthus Barbatus)—Perennial. (1
The vine or plant of the Sweet Pea succeeds best in
moist, yet well drained, cool soil. For longest possible

the best mode, the trench method, the trench should be
2 feet wide and 2 feet deep, and filled nearly to the sur-
face with a mixture of well rotted manure and rich soil.
Fill in the top with 6 inches of soil. Germination will be
hastened if the seeds are soaked in water over night.

seed: commences blooming in early summer and con-
tinues to flower for several weeks. Pkt., 5c.
Seeds should be inoculated with Nitragin. Sow the seed
two inches deep at the rate of one ounce per twenty feet.
When the weather is dry, soak the ground thoroughly
once or twice a week. The earth should be kept loose
two inches deep around the plants at all times. In the
evening, during hot weather, a light spraying of the
vines will be found beneficial. Sweet Peas should be cut
early in the morning, and there will be longer period of
bloom if they are cut closely. If allowed to produce any
great amount of seed, the plant will wither quickly.

When you make a lawn you expect to enjoy it for
years to come, so do the job right and you will be
The standard grass seed in America for
lawns and pastures. One pound should be sown for every 150
square feet, or for every plot 10x15 feet. Sow 30 pounds to
the acre for pasture.
“MAGIC CARPET”
This mixture contains well proportioned quantities of
Kentucky Blue Grass, White Dutch Clover, Domestic Rye
Grass, and Red Top seed. The Rye Grass and Red Top
provide a fine green covering in a very short time and
thereby serve as protectors for the slower growing Ken-
tucky Blue Grass. The latter is considered the permanent
base for the lawn and, being thriftier, will ‘eventually
crowd out the Rye and Red Top.
SUNFLOWER LAWN MIXTURE
Made up principally of Kentucky Blue Grass and White
Clover with some other grasses which will grow rapidly
and make a showing quickly. However, the other grasses
will soon be driven out by the Kentucky Blue Grass and
White Clover and the combination of these two insures
a perfect lawn.
“KENTUCKY MANOR”
Selected first quality straight Kentucky Blue Grass,
packed in attractive one-pound packages.
“QUICK GREEN”
A fine mixture of Kentucky Blue Grass, Rye Grass, and
White Clover. Makes a fine showing very quickly and
makes a good permanent lawn. One pound to a plot 10x12
feet.
SEASIDE BENT
Makes a splendid lawn of bright green color. Forms a
thick, dense turf, and keeps out dandelions and other
weeds admirably. Also fine to use in thickening up old
lawns. Plant same amount as Creeping Bent. Is proving

Don’t Put Weeds Back on Your Land. Buy Only Pure Seed From a Reliable Dealer.
THE MOST PROFITABLE CROP on the FARM
Alfalfa seed has been grown in Kansas since 1868, and
the Barteldes Seed Company was the first to offer this
for sale in this part of the country.
SEEDING
In the first place, be sure that your seed is pure, free of
Dodder, Russian Thistle and other noxious weeds. Sown
either in spring or in the fall at the rate of 15 to 20
pounds per acre.
We are always glad to send samples; quote prices, give
tests and origin.
KANSAS COMMON ALFALFA
In buying Alfalfa seed be sure that you get seed which
is adapted to your climatic condition. We recommend
Kansas Grown Seed for the Middle West with Oklahoma
Seed and Utah Seed for second choice. Our best grades
of Alfalfa Seed are Kansas grown and Oklahoma grown.
NOTE: For Colorado, we recommend Colorado seed first
and Utah second.
INOCULATION
Inoculated Alfalfa adds greatly to the fertility of the soil,
but Alfalfa without inoculation is the biggest soil robber
of all crops. Your Alfalfa may become naturally inocu-
lated by the bacteria in the soil, but to insure inoculation
we advise artificial inoculation of the seed. This is in-
expensive and very helpful to your crop of Alfalfa. We
suggest Nitragin.

Good Seed Is Always the
A FIELD OF SWEET CLOVER
Sweet Clover
The features or qualities which make Sweet
Clover so valuable are: First, the ability to
thrive, produce good hay and good pasture on
very poor soils; and second, the ability to im-
prove the soil on which it is growing.
Although Sweet Clover is very hardy and will
thrive in the most unfavorable places, it is some-
times difficult to get a good stand. This diffi-
culty can be overcome by sowing the seed on a
thoroughly compacted seed bed with just enough
loose dirt to cover and by sowing scarified seed.
WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER
(Melilotus alba.) A biennial, grows to a height of from
4 to 6 feet, vigorous grower, extremely hardy and pro-
duces abundant pasturage and lots of hay. This is the
standard Sweet Clover of the country.
BIENNIAL YELLOW BLOSSOM SWEET
CLOVER
(Melilotus officinalis.) This is also a biennial, about two
weeks earlier than the white, not quite as tall. Do not
confuse this with the annual Yellow Blossom which is of
very little value.
KOREAN LESPEDEZA
A plant similar to clover and the best of the Lespedeza
types. It has an advantage over alfalfa and sweet clover,
in that it will grow on untreated soil, no lime or phos-
phate being needed. Korean Lespedeza can be grazed all
spring and summer and hay can be cut or seed taken
from the crop in the fall. Agriculturists state their “be-
lief” that this Lespedeza is the “coming legume.”
One reason for its value in feeding is because it is said
it never causes bloating.

Red Clover
(Trifolium Pratensis.) Red Clover is the most important
of all leguminous forage crops, both on account of its
high value as feed and from the fact that it can be so
well employed in rotations.
Red Clover is not a particularly exacting crop in regard
to its soil requirements, excepting that it be well drained.
It succeeds better as a rule on clayey soils than on loams
and better in loams than in sandy soils.
Red Clover makes an excellent pasture for all kinds of
live stock, and may be sown either with or without nurse
crop.
Be careful to select seed which does not contain Buck-
horn. You can depend on our Sunflower and Columbine
Brands of Red Clover.
MAMMOTH SAPLING or PEA VINE CLOVER
A rank grower which makes it a valuable fertilizer.
White Clover
(Trifolium Repens.) White Clover is excellent for pas-
ture and is especially valuable for mixing with Kentucky
Blue Grass, both for lawns and pasture. A few pounds
of White Clover should be in all permanent grass seed
mixtures as it helps fill up the bare spots and is very
nutritious. Very hardy and a perennial. Sow five to eight
pounds per acre.
Alsike Clover
(Trifolium Hybridum.) Very valuable for growing on wet
or swampy land. It is very hardy, withstands drought
and will not winter kill. Makes an excellent crop of hay.
About six to ten pounds will sow an acre and as the seed
is very fine, it should be covered only slightly.
LESPEDEZA GROWING ON UNTREATED SOIL.

PASTURE GRASS SEEDS
MEADOW FESCUE or
ENGLISH BLUE GRASS
(Festuca Pratensis.) Meadow Fescue is a
tufted, deep rooted, long-lived perennial,
and is especially adapted for permanent
pasture. Even if cut for hay or seed it
produces a good amount of aftermath. It
should be cut for hay just as it comes into
bloom, and for seed as soon as the field
shows a yellowish brown color and the
heads begin to droop from the weight of
grain.
It is adapted practically to the same area
as Timothy, will thrive on poor soils, ex-
cept where the soilis very sandy. It should
be sown on a thoroughly firmed seed bed
at the rate of 10 to 12 pounds per acre for
seed, and 20 to 25 pounds per acre for
pasture. The best time to sow is in late
summer or early fall.
Meadow Fescue is also used in lawns
where quick growth is desired. A fine mix-
ture is two-thirds Meadow Fescue and one-
third Kentucky Blue Grass.
RED TOP GRASS
(Agrostis Vulgaris.) Sometimes known as
Herd’s Grass. The third most important
grass in the United States, and one of the
best native grasses. It is especially valua-
ble for sowing on sour or acid soils,
swampy or meadow lands, which are liable
to overflow, and on soils that are not rich
enough for Timothy and other grasses.
When mixed with Alsike Clover it makes
a fine crop of hay or excellent pasture.
About ten pounds are sown to the acre.
When cut for hay it should be in full
flower.
Red Top is also an exceedingly good grass
for lawns if sown with Kentucky Blue
Grass and kept closely mowed, under
which conditions the leaves are fine and
the turf dense.
TIMOTHY
(Phleum Pratense.) The most important
hay grass. Greatly relished by all kinds of
stock, especially horses. The time recom-
mended for cutting Timothy hay is shortly
after the blooms have fallen and while the
seed is still in the dough stage, because at
this time it contains the largest amount of
digestible protein. Sow 10 to 15 pounds
per acre.
DOMESTIC RYE GRASS
Grown principally in Washington and Ore-
gon. Much better than the imported Rye
Grass. Is used extensively for polo fields
and fairways.
TIMOTHY

to 25 pounds per acre.
REED CANARY GRASS
Although naturally a grass of moist or wet land, often on river or lake
banks subject to periodic overflows, it succeeds splendidly on high well-
drained land even in regions of rather low rainfall. In its broad relations
to moisture it is not unlike Redtop.
Reed Canary Grass is a coarse species, growing 4 to 7 feet tall, but
the leafy stems are stout and never lodge. The grass tends to grow in
bunches 2 to 3 feet in diameter. Sow 6 pounds per acre.
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS
It is drought resistant and once the plant gets started, it shows uncanny
ability to come through long periods of drought and start growth im-
mediately when moisture is made available.
It is adapted to a wide range of soil types and is a long-lived crop.
Best results are obtained when no nurse crop is used. Sow ten pounds
to the acre, either drilled or broadcast.
SUDAN GRASS
Sudan is a tall, leafy annual grass of the Sorghum family. Sudan Grass
may be sown broadcast, drilled or in cultivated rows. Where there is suf-
ficient moisture, broadcasting or drilling is preferable; otherwise the
grass is likely to be coarse. In seeding this way, three pecks to the acre
should be used. In cultivated rows three feet apart, three pounds of seed
to the’ acre are sufficient. Sudan makes a large crop of hay; used as
summer pasture.
BROME GRASS
(Bromus Inermis.) No other cultivated pe-
rennial grass has shown a higher degree of
drought resistance, and it endures winter
cold remarkably well. Aside from Alfalfa,
no grass has fulfilled the promise to the
western farmer better than Brome Grass.
Cattle graze on this grass in preference to
Blue Grass, and it is especially adapted to
pasturage, due to the fact that it begins
its growth early in the spring and contin-
ues growing until late fall. Sow about 14
pounds to the acre.
BERMUDA GRASS
(Cynadon Bactylon.) Bermuda is a long-
lived perennial with marked ability to with-
stand close grazing, or close clipping, and
on this account is much used as a lawn
grass. Bermuda Grass lawns stay green all
summer without artificial watering. For
lawns sow one pound to 500 square feet,
for pasture 3 to 5 pounds per acre.
ORCHARD GRASS
(Dactylis) Glomerata.) A typical bunch
grass, withstands a great amount of heat,
does well in the shade. It is best adapted
to clays and loams, not averse to wet soils,
but prefers a moderate amount of moist-
ure. Good results can be had also where
the rainfall is rather scanty.
Orchard Grass should be used in pastures
wherever possible, because of its ability to
grow in cool weather, and furnishes the
earliest and latest pasture during the sea-
son. It is good pasture for cows. Sow 20

juicy. Grows 4 to 4% feet tall, matures in 85
to 100 days. Enormous yield and the earli-
ness combine to make a wonderful variety.
KAFFIR CORN
BLACKHULL WHITE KAFFIR. Grains are nearly white with black
hull. Characterized by stout, short-jointed stems, numerous broad,
stiff leaves, cylindrical or oblong leaves, square at the tip. This is :
the old standard variety.
PINK KAFFIR. An intermediate between the black hull and the red.
It will grow in wetter soil and will stand more dry weather than the
white. Stalk is slender, but the plant has as many leaves and will
make as much fodder as other kaffirs. Seed pinkish white, head
cylindrical, 10 to 14 inches long.
RED KAFFIR. Grows somewhat taller than the White, maturing in
100 to 130 days. Heads are long, slender, compact, and grow very
erect. Seed is light red and slightly smaller than the seed of Black-
hull, and are rather hard and brittle. Does well on poor land.
GROHOMA
Midseason to late variety 4 to 6 feet tall with stout stems moderately juicy
It tillers freely and branches abundantly. Heads are
from 8 to 15 inches long and may or may not be well exserted from the
upper leaf sheath or boot. Botanical origin is uncertain, but believed to be a
and slightly sweet.
cross between Feterita and some variety of sorghum.
BROOM CORN
BLACK SPANISH. The leading standard variety. Glumes are dark brown
to black. Favored by growers because of early maturity and tendency to pro-
duce finer, straighter brush with less reddening than the older type.
STANDARD DWARF EVERGREEN.
Plant 12 to 15 pounds per acre.
IMPROVED EVERGREEN. This Broom Corn grows about 10 feet high,
stands up well, and is entirely free from crooked brush.
This variety produces a fairly long
brush, grows 6 to 8 feet tall, making it easier to pick than the tall varieties.
SWEET SORGHUMS
KANSAS ORANGE. Differs from the Amber
variety in having larger and heavier stalks,
and larger and more abundant leaves. Hulls
are reddish to black, two-thirds as long as the
reddish yellow grains, which become paler
when fully ripe. This variety is very valuable
for making syrup.
RED TOP or SUMAC. One of the sweetest
and leafiest of the Sorgho group. It has com-
pact, cylindrical, dark red heads with a some-
what flattened top. Dark red seeds are small,
set on very short branches, which protrude
beyond the hulls, giving the whole head a
red color. Does not readily cross-pollinate.
BLACK AMBER. One of the oldest of the for-
age group, characterized by slender stalks and
narrow leaves.
ATLAS SORGHO
A new variety. Cross between White Kaffir and Sourless Cane. Plants reach a height of 7
to 10 feet and require from 120 to 130 days to mature.

yielder, grows very dwarf. Seeds dark brown.
A sure cropper.
DWARF YELLOW MILO MAIZE. A vigorous
grower, will stand a great deal of drought.
Milo is planted, cultivated, and handled like
kaffir, but should be planted a little later.
When grown in rows, it is ordinarily harvest-
ed with a corn binder and put in shocks to
cure, and can then either be threshed for
grain or fed as fodder. Ordinarily grows from
4 to 6 feet, depending upon the amount of
moisture. Seeds are pale reddish yellow with
the red-brown sub-coat.
DOUBLE DWARF YELLOW MILO. Resem-
bles the ordinary dwarf milo, but is earlier
and rarely reaches a height of more than
three feet.

FIELD SEEDS
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER. Single heads measure 15 to
20 inches in diameter and contain an immense amount of seed. The
best egg-producing food known for poultry, and can be raised
cheaper than corn. Three pounds of seed will plant an acre.
SAND VETCH—(Vicia Villosa). Sometimes called Hairy Vetch or
Winter Vetch. Valuable for forage and fertilizing purposes. Makes
good hay, ensilage and pasture, and the yield of green fodder is
immense.
KANOTA OATS—(Kansas Fulghum). Especially valuable for its
earliness and ability to yield large crops.
LARGE KERNEL BUCKWHEAT. It is early and very productive,
with kernels twice the size of any other variety.
SOY BEANS
FIELD PEAS. Field Peas deserve more general cultivation. They
are equal to corn in fattening hogs and are ready for feed several
weeks earlier. White seeded.
FIELD BEANS—WHITE NAVY. Standard variety of white beans.
Medium size. Sow 30 pounds to the acre. For table use.
Peanuts
Very popular for dry
land farming and are
now grown as_ far
north as Iowa with
success. Good feed
for forcing cows to a
high yield of milk and
for rapidly fattening
cattle and hogs, espe-
cially when combined
with Milo. A peck and
a half of shelled pea-
nuts will plant an
acre.
WHITE JUMBO.

SPANISH. Very early,
pods small! but re
markably well filled,
and yield is very large.
TENNESSEE RED.

HYBRID CORN
Hybrid Corn is really corn that is
“made-to-order .
It is produced by
crossing inbred lines.
The first requisite of a hybrid corn program, therefore, is to develop
inbred lines.
several generations.
from a plant to the silks of the same plant.
These lines are obtained by self-pollinating the plant for
Self-pollination is accomplished by applying pollen
These inbred lines are of
little value until they are crossed with another unrelated inbred line
which produces the hybrid.
The hybrids produced are markedly
superior to the original varieties.
Despite the newness of Hybrid
Corn, yield comparisons in many
corn belt states have demonstrated
the superiority of certain hybrids
over the best standard open-polli-
nated varieties.
Every grower is interested in ob-
taining large acre yields, and Hy-
brid Corn does yield more. The net
profit from growing a bushel of
corn is the difference between the
U.S. 13
cost of production and the selling
price. Costs of producing an acre
of corn are relatively constant, re-
gardless of yield. The cost per
bushel, therefore, is materially re-
duced with large acre yields.
Hybrids have a narrower range of
adaptation to climatic conditions
than the standard varieties, there-
fore when you purchase your Hy-
brid Corn it is important that you
get corn which is suited to your
location.
Smooth, deep-kerneled ears which have a bright orange tinge. Responds
to good soil fertility, is wilt-resistant, stalks medium height. Recom-
mended for eastern half of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Southern
Iowa. Matures late. Price per bushel, Medium Flats, $7.00.

GRADED CORN. This takes out nearly all
of the uneven kernels. The cost of this is 25c
per bushel extra.
Yellow Varieties
KAW CHIEF
The corn is of a deep, golden yellow color, ears large,
measuring up to 13 and 14 inches in length and have
16, 18 and 20 rows to the cob. A bushel of Kaw Chief
Corn on the ear will yield 58 to 60 pounds of shelled
corn. Kaw Chief Corn matures in from 95 to 105
days, and ordinarily yields from 75 to 80 bushels per
acre.

(NATURAL CRYOLITE WITH SULPHUR)
A Ready Mixed Busi
KRYOCIDE D-50 is natural Cryolite
mixed with sulphur, ready to use.
Big growers have used both Kryocide
and Kryocide D-50 Dust for many years
for field-protecting crops, but this year it
is offered to the small Victory Gardener.
There is no scarcity of Kryocide.
KRYOCIDE D-50 is both an insecticide
and fungicide.
A special pulverizing process is used in the manufactur-
ing of this dust and now it is extremely fine and covers
foliage effectively. Repeated tests have shown that Kryo-
cide does not injure the foliage of plants, does not de
teriorate in storage and will not change when exposed to
sunlight.

GRAIN ‘CLEANERS
: We have used Clipper Cleaners in our own plants for over
fifty years and can guarantee them in every respect.
Each mill is equipped with a set of 12 screens which separ-
ate virtually all kinds of seed based on difference in size,
and the VERTICAL AIR BLAST blows out all light,
shrunken grains, thus separating according to weight.
This year we can offer only the 2B Mill, subject to Govern-
ment regulations, which have curtailed the production of
these mills.

aise MILORGANITE.
Natural AllfOrganic Fertilizer
You can establish deep green grass, weed-free, of velvety texture of uniform color and
growth through the proper application of Milorganite. Flower beds and window boxes
can boast the beauty of better blooms, and new pride can be taken in superior quality
garden vegetables. Milorganite is a natural unadulterated organic plant food, containing
more of the “basic” fertilizer elements, and richer in the vital “trace elements” also.
Milorganite has the advantage over fertilizers that act quickly, because by too rapid
assimilation of the fertilizer by the plant, the growth is shortened and plant structures
weakened. Milorganite promotes steady, healthy, uniform growth as its water-insoluble
organic nitrogen is released slowly, and is converted into available plant food as needed.

This fertilizer is free of weed seeds and harmful bacteria. Each particle is a distinct
granule, not powder, therefore, does not cling to vegetation. It is clean, free-flowing
1 nernctte on i and dustless too, hence, is easy to apply and will not blow away during spreading.
patbenediene 7d Milorganite may be kept indefinitely and never hardens or cakes during storage, and
does not rot the bag. Any amount not used immediately can be stored for future use.

Garteldes Lawu Grasses
Years and years are behind BARTELDES GRASS SEEDS. You rightly
expect a lawn to last for years to come, and doing the job right brings ample
reward.
There are three main rules to follow when making your lawn:
1. Well-drained soil with good depth and richness.
The proper food for the grass in sufficient quantities.
3. Seed adapted for your climate and a liberal sowing of good
clean seed purchased from a reliable company.
Many large projects, such as Airports, Polo Fields, Golf Courses and Foot-
ball Fields have chosen BARTELDES SEEDS.
