PETUNIAS

Grow them in pots, porch or patio boxes; enjoy them in little beds, big beds, long
beds; plant them along fences, drive »ways or paths: use them in tree stumps, wagon
wheels or wheelbarrows. No matter what the use, there is a Petunia to fit.

Why? Because they grow “most anywhere.’ except in dense shade, and are not
fussy as to soil. Because there are compact, mound-like varieties only 9 inches high,
all the way to semi-trailing forms 4 to 5 feet long. Because they are covered with
flowers from 11% to 6 inches in diameter. Because you can have colors in almost any
conceivable shade of white, pink, rose, crimson, blue and vourple, even’a deep cream that
passes for yellow. Choose the Petunias that suit your purpose. Enjoy their jaunty
beauty from June to heavy frost.

bloom.

The Newest Development in Horticulture

Dreer’s Pelletized Seeds

Offered to Dreer’s Customers for the first time last spring, met with immediate, spontaneous acceptance. We were hard pressed
throughout the spring season to eee up with the demand. ORDER EARLY.

Results in our own trials were
excellent and showed the impor-
tance of following cultural di-
rections (particularly barely cover-
ing the Pellets). Where we
purposely planted at the regular
depth for bare seed, germination
was irregular. Reports from all
over the country praised the ease
of planting and superior results.
A few reports from different sec-

Eastern Penna.—My Tomatoes from
Pelletized Seed not only ripened
earlier, but yielded more fruit
than those grown by our gardener.
C. E. J., Faulke and Long Institute.
Iowa—Garden Editor of Household
Magazine wrote: “I didn’t have
to wait until harvest to be swept
off my feet by their (Pelletized
Seed) speed in germination and
rapid growth.”

Ohio—‘‘Pelletized Seed that I received from you last spring gave
every satisfaction.” J. H. D.

Oregon—‘Last spring I bought some Pelletized Seed from you
and had good luck with all of them. The Zinnias and Asters
were especially fine.” A. S. E.

Western Penna.—‘The Pelletized Calendulas I bought from you
last spring were wonderful.” L. W. C.

Pelletized Seeds are offered in twice as many varieties for 1950.
Improved formula gives a coating that immediately attracts and
absorbs soil moisture.

Pelletized Seeds are fresh, new, carefully selected seeds coated
with a special material to increase the size, protect the seed
and stimulate early growth.

Pelletized — ee Sead= Plain

Pelletized Seeds were developed:
(1) To save labor and expense on
the farm and_back-breaking
thinning out and transplanting
in the home garden. They can
be planted individually right
where you want the seed to

grow.
(2) To produce sturdier growth and
higher germination through

protection against soil borne
disease and weather conditions.
Pelletized Seeds may be planted
earlier.

Pelletized Seeds are definitely
past the experimental stage;
tons of Tomato, Carrot, Lettuce
and Sugar Beet seed to name
a few, were processed and
planted last year, with even
bigger production scheduled for
1950.

Important—Planting Directions

(1) Do not cover as deeply as ordinary seeds. Cover only enough
to hold the Pellets in place.

(2) Although Dreer Seeds are the best obtainable, no seeds germin-
ate and grow 100%. Pelletized Seeds for plants that require
spacing of six inches or more apart, should be planted two at a
time and later thinned to the stronger plant. For spacing
less than 6 inches apart, plant one Pellet at a time.

(3) Do not pack or firm soil after planting. Pellets expand
when in contact with moisture and packing prevents full
expansion.

(4) Pelletized Seeds, being protected, may be planted outdoors
in the open ground earlier than ordinary seeds.

Alphabetically Zinnias are last, but for range of size (from
6 inch plants with button-like blooms, to 4 ft. plants with
flowers big as Dahlias); variety of color, ease of growth and
free-blooming qualities they easily rank as “First” among
the annual flowers.

Zinnias love warm, even hot, weather, don’t sow seed too
early; 10th of May is soon enough and they may be planted
up to the end of June. Give them plenty of room to de-
velop; half their full grown height apart is a good rule to
follow. For continuous bloom, keep faded flowers picked.

Flowers raised from seed are divided roughly into two classes. (1) Annuals which bloom
the same year seeds are planted and are killed by frost in the fall; (2) Perennials which
for the most part do not bloom until the year after sowing, but then live on year after
year. There are also the biennials which bloom the second year and then die but which

can generally be depended on to seed themselves. A comparison of the merits of Annuals
and Perennials is given below.

The ideal flower garden combines both Perennials and Annuals. The Annuals providing
flowers all summer long and the Perennials offering exciting changes as each one comes
into bloom during spring, summer and fall. A comparison of the merits of Annuals and

Cultural Directions
Sowing flower seeds: There is little difference between sowing annual or perennial
seeds. One cardinal rule to follow is not to cover the seed too deeply. Very fine
seed should be sown on top of fine soil and not covered at all. Even the largest
flower seed should not be covered more than 14 inch.

For early bloom, start indoors in February, March or April in shallow pots or
seed flats. To prevent ‘damping off’ treat seed with one of the seed disinfectants
(Spergon 25c or Semesan 50c), water sparingly in dull weather and keep temperature
between 65 degrees to 70 degrees. Transplant seedlings to pots or into flats 2 inches
apart as soon as large enough to handle. Transplant outdoors as soon as danger from
frost is past.

Most flower seeds may be planted outdoors with safety as soon as the ground
can be prepared (this is generally from April 15th on). Many varieties will give
a fine display planted as late as June 15th.

YOUR CUSTOM MADE FLOWER GARDEN

The border on this page represents a flower garden plan easily adapted to your
grounds. Use any part, or all of it. Spaces marked for separate varieties require
only a packet of seed each. Flowers we have picked are easy to grow and will
give a lovely continuous display from early summer until late fall. Note irregular
edge and irregular spaces for the different kinds, also that some taller varieties are
in the front of the bed, all planned to give, the widest possible variety of color,
foliage and height effects, and to provide cut flowers for the house all summer and
well into the fall.

“Your ba bp "Irom Clay fo be by

The Foundation for a “Good Lawn” is as important as the

foundation for a House. There should be six to eight inches of

top soil or at least soil with sufficient humus (decayed vegetable
matter) to permit the ready flow of water down when it rains,
up when it is dry.

HEAVY CLAY SOIL can be broken up and made more porous

by mixing in:

1. Michigan Peat. (Page 71.) Natural 97 per cent organic Peat
that holds moisture, increases bacteria action and has some
fertilizer value. On good soil use 1% bushels per 100 sq. ft.;
on poor soil, 3 bushels per 100 sq. ft.; 3 bushel bags $3.50;
10 bags or more, $3.00 per bag.

FERTILIZERS. (Page 71.) You can take your pick but apply
sufficient to keep the grass growing through the summer. We
like the organics such as:

1. Pulverized Sheep Manure. Apply 10 lbs. per 100 sq. ft.
$4.50 per 100 lbs.; 500 Ibs. $19.75.

2. Bovung. Cow manure with pulverized peanut hulls. 75 per
cent organic. 10 Ibs. per 100 sq. ft. 50 Ibs. $2.25; 500 Ibs.
$21.25.

3. Bone Meal. Raw not steamed. 5 Ibs. per 100 sq. ft. 50 Ibs.
$3.25; 100 lbs. $6.00; 500 Ibs. $25.00.

Or the chemical or inorganic fertilizers will give excellent re-
sults without quite so much bulk.

1. Vigoro (5-10-5). Use 2 to 4 Ibs. per 100 sq. ft. 25 Ibs. $1.60;
100 Ibs. $4.25.

PREPARATION. Spade (GSUD, $2.25, page 66) or fork (Gar-
den $2.25, page 66) the ground to a depth of 6 or 8 inches, a
Rototiller does a wonderful job if you can hire one. Rake
roughly with a steel garden Rake (Gardex Rake, $1.35, page
66) to remove coarse rubble. Permit the ground to settle for
10 days and apply the fertilizer as above and rake again.

SEEDING. Sow plenty of seed, 1 pound to 200 sq. ft. Use a
Seeder if possible or, if you sow by hand, divide the seed
in half and go over the plot twice, making the second sowing
at right angles to the first.

‘Lawn Bilder”

COVERING THE SEED. Lawn Seeds are quite fine and
should be barely covered. Use a light roller or a flexible spring
tooth rake (Disston Rake, 18 teeth, $2.25; page 66).

WATERING. Water only when absolutely necessary and when

you water, do a thorough job. Get the water down 4 to 5

inches. Really good LAWN SPRINKLERS are: (See page 78.)

Rain King “K” Lawn Sprinkler, $7.75.

Rain King “H” Lawn Sprinkler, $6.75.

Metco Sprinkler, $16.95.

Soil Soaker, 12 ft. $1.75; 18 ft. $2.25; 30 ft. $3.50; 50 ft.
$5.50.

MOWING. Mow as soon as grass is 3 inches high. Mower may
be set to cut 1% inches in May and early June but for summer
set to cut not less than 2 inches.

1. GREAT AMERICAN LAWN MOWER, 15 IN. WIDTH,
$28.20; 17 IN. WIDTH, $30.00; 19 IN. WIDTH, $32.95.
(See page 73.)

Mow often enough so you do not have to use a grass catcher.
But if you need one they are $2.00 (fits 12-18 in. mowers).
ROLLING. Established lawns should be rolled with a medium
weight roller, as soon as the ground is dry enough not to
pack, to push the roots that have been heaved by freezing

and thawing back into the soil.

FEEDING. Grass grows during ten months of the year. Be sure
to have sufficient plant food in the ground to nourish it.
The new “Lawn Bilder” Lawn food (10 Ibs. 1000 sq. ft.) is
a combination of all that is best in Lawn fertilizers and also
contains 2,4-D Weed Killer to help control the weeds. Or
use the foods listed under fertilizers but only one-half the
amounts.

RESEEDING. Reseed established lawns in spring and fall, using
one pound to 400 sq. ft. For summer baldness, use Dreer’s
Summer Patching Mixture, $1.00 per pound, for temporary
relief.

BANKS AND TERRACES require special care and _ special
grasses. See TERRACE LAWN MIXTURE or use TAILOR
