In garden sow in double rows 6 to 8 Inches
apart; the rows 2 to 4 feet apart. Commence
sowing the extra-early varieties as early as
the ground can be worked in February or
March; plant for a succession every two
weeks until June, then discontinue until the
middle of August, when a good crop may be
secured by sowing extra-early and early sorts
for fall use. They should be kept clean and
earthed up twice during the growth. The
wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the

287. Early Scarlet Globe Radishes

Sweet Potatoes

CuLTuRE. Don’t wait for a rain or a
“season”? to set out Sweet Potato plants.
Harrow your ground well before laying it off,
then throw up the ridges higher than you
want them, and if the soil is very dry, allow
2 or 3 days for the moisture to rise. Then
knock off the top of the ridge just ahead of
planting; make a mud batter with water and
clay loam, or better, with the addition of
fresh cow-dung, about as thick as cream;

rich, well-drained soil containing an abundance of lime. Makes
two crops of hay a year and may be sown in spring or fall.

Kenland Red Clover. A superior, longer-lived strain of Red Clover
adapted to areas where anthracnose diseases are prevalent.

Mammoth or Sapling (7rifolium_ pratense). Larger, coarser
and about two weeks later in maturing than Medium Red Clover.
Only one crop can be harvested each season.

White Dutch Clover (Trifolium repens). Usually included in lawn
grass mixtures; also valuable in permanent pastures. Sow in
spring.

New Zealand Certified Permanent Pasture White Clover.
Differs from cultivated White Dutch Clover in that it has smaller
leaves, stems and flower head. Also spreads by surface runners.

HAY and PASTURE MIXTURES

Kentucky Blue Grass (Poa pratensis)

Although it does well on most any good soil, Blue Grass requires
about two years to become established and ts therefore often sown
with other grasses. Sow in spring or fall.

Tall Fescues

Alta Tall Fescue. A deep-rooted, long-lived perennial grass with

many shiny, dark green leaves coming from the crown of the plant.

It makes a very close turf if conditions are favorable.

Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue. Same characteristics as Alta except
that it is more drought resistant.

Orchard Grass (Dactylis glomerata)

Anearly bunch grass which stays green in spite of heat and drought.
Lasts for years.

Rye Grass (Lolium multiflorum)

An annual all-purpose grass used in lawn mixtures and for hay and
pasture.

Perennial Rye Grass (Lolium perenne)

A splendid permanent pasture grass doing best on moderately
moist soils.

Red Top or Herd's Grass (Agrostis alba)

Used in most Iawn mixtures and a good pasture grass.
in low, wet meadows. Sow in spring or fall.

Does well

Timothy (Phleum pratense)

This mportant hay and pasture grass should be sown at the rate
of 12 pounds per acre in spring or fall. One popular mixture uses
10 pounds Timothy and 6 pounds Clover; another has 8 pounds
Timothy, 6 pounds Clover (Alsike or Mammoth), 6 pounds Red
Top and 10 pounds Alta Fescue to the acre.

Bolgiano’s Permanent Pasture Mixture
These mixtures are composed of only the best germinating seeds
and are sure to give satisfaction.
For Uplands: A special mixture of the best grasses and clovers
for establishing a permanent pasture.
For Lowlands: A mixture of grasses and clovers adapted for moist
or slightly sour lowlands.

Dwarf Essex Rape

An annual resembling kale which furnishes good pasture for
poultry and livestock within six weeks after sowing.

Golden Foxtail Millet

Makes an enormous yield of hay which should be cut just as the
heads begin to form. Sow from May through July.

Hairy Vetch (Vicia villosa)
Valuable as a winter cover crop to prevent leaching and to turn
in for fertilizer. It 1s also a good forage plant.

Sudan Grass (Holcus sudanensis)

Similar to Timothy in food value, this provides an easily cured
hay forage crop. Must be cut before frost. Sow in late spring. Often
sown with Soy Beans—20 pounds Sudan Grass and one bushel Soy
Beans to the acre.

For other grasses refer to page 1

Bolgiano's Dahlias

Dahlia tubers should not be planted until all frost danger is past. Set them in beds
or borders in full sun. Rich soil containing plenty of humus will give best results. Dig
a hole 5 inches deep and lay the tuber flat in the bottom. Cover with 2 or 3 inches of
soil where drainage is good, and fill in gradually as the plant grows. Where drainage is
poor, cover sufficiently so that water will not stand in the vicinity of the root. Drive
a stout stake beside the plant and tie the canes to it for support. Cultivate, water and

feed regularly during the growing season.

Bolens Tractors for Better Results with less labor

BOLENS GARDEN TRACTORS

A rugged, compact and extremely flexible service unit.
A great model to meet all requirements for light farm-
ing, commercial growing, lawn and garden care, snow
plowing and “‘odd-job” service like painting, orchard
spraying, weed cutting, hauling or providing auxiliary
power. There’s a BOLENS Tractor for every property
...a “packaged implement” for every job.

No matter what kind of property you own or main-
tain, it will pay you to see the BOLENS line before you
buy. Compare the BOLENS that meets your require-
ments with any other in its class. Whether you base your
final decision on efficient all-season service or on price,
you'll be influenced by the obvious superiority of the
BOLENS Tractors.

venience.

Power-Ho Versa-matic

For the maximum in rugged stamina, choose the Heavy Duty Mustang. It is equipped with a new
and convenient rotor reverse. With extra long-life gears and engine, the Heavy Duty Mustang is the
tiller preferred by professional gardeners and rental yards because it takes hardest use with minimum
care. Select-O-Width Tilling, a unique Bolens feature, lets you vary the rotor width to fit any average
row spacing. You simply add one or more extension tines to either side. Each tine adds 4 inches to the
rotor width and is quickly locked in place with a steel pin. The rotor widths of the Heavy Duty are
extendable from 16 to 40 inches. $222.50, f.0.b. Washington, D. C.

7 H.P. BADGER TILLER

Ideal for professional or semi-professional use, the new Bolens Badger with
powered wheels and reverse has ample power and traction for the most rugged
tilling jobs. AIl controls are handle-mounted for easy operation. Four travel
speeds and two rotor speeds permit close control of tilling action under any soil
conditions. Handle bars move up or down and swing to either side for con-
venient, fatigue-free operation. Extension tines can be added easily for culti-
vating up to 37 inches. $515.00, f.0.b. Washington, D. C.

POWER-HO VERSA-MATIC

Versa-matic drive gives infinitely variable forward speed controllable under power, and safety type
REVERSE. This drive also offers power and free-wheeling in both forward and reverse. Here is the
answer to a Jong-felt need for greater maneuverability, as well as a controllable wide speed range.

Quick hook up with snap hitch for all attachments. All-steel frame and safety stop switch for con-

7 H.P. RIDE-A-MATIC

The new Bolens Ride-a-matic has been completely re-

haves like the most modern large-size tractor, the Ride-a-
matic 1s scaled to grace the finest lawns and gardens. Hand

attachments. The contoured seat has spring-action mounting for easy riding, adjusts quickly to
operator’s leg length. A simple release pin at left side in front of axle disengages differential for
easy moving without using engine.

The weight of both engine and operator is properly distributed over the wheels for maximum
traction. Coupled with automotive steering, this efficient weight distribution gives the comfort and
stability you’d enjoy on a full-size tractor. No changing sprockets. Simply release idler, and move
chain to any of three sprocket positions. Versa-matic control gives 6 forward speeds and 1 reverse
in each speed range. Positive foot brake supplements automatic braking that is provided by the
differential.

Equipped with heavy duty axle bearings; diamond-tread tires which will not mark your lawn;
steel girder frame; and 6-quart fuel tank which gives five hours of average operation without refueling!
