A MODEST CATALOGUE WITH HONEST DESCRIPTIONS AND ILLUSTRATIONS

We were the first seedsmen in this country to trust entirely to photographic reproduction in illus-
trating our catalogues. This has given our Manuat a deserved reputation for, truthfulness and accuracy.
It is for this reason that some things that are much lauded in other catalogues are omitted. Some do
not appear as large or extravagant as shown in the overdrawn cuts of other lists. Our pictures have
won for us the attention of thousands of seed buyers, and we have held their confidence by meeting the
promises of our catalogue, both as to illustrations and descriptions of the various vegetables and flowers
which are made during the growing season at FLoracrorr or on our yarious Seep Farms where the
crops are grown. It is for this reason that our Manuat isso frequently used by other seedsmen as a
reference-book and is frequently found at the agricultural colleges, being used as an auxiliary text-book.

For more than 20 yaats We-Have made a stutdy-Of the wants of the critical gardener and do every-
thing possible to safeguard his interests, and for this reason conduct every year, at great expense, exten-
sive trials at our FLroracrorr Seep GARDENS AND TRIAL Grounps, located about nine miles from our
city warehouses. The cash expended at Fioracrorr buys knowledge, and the benefit goes to our
customers.

Besides making extensive open field trials at FLoracrort, we also develop there a considerable
amount of high-grade pedigree stock seed. Although these grounds are under the direct personal super-
vision of one of our firm, we have there also experienced and intelligent men who understand the ~
improvement and development of ideal types and high standards. From FLoracrort we send improved
seed stocks to our various farms in other States, wherever the conditions of soil and climate are best
adapted to their perfect development, for multiplication as to bulk and quantity.

New Asparagus

Early French Giant

THE EARLIEST—LARGE AND PROLIFIC
This new sort, the seed and roots of which we
offered for sale for the first time last Spring, is a |
great improvement on the popular Palmetto or

French Argenteuil asparagus, which was first
brought to this country by Mr. John Nix, the
largest asparagus grower of South Carolina. The
roots were imported from Mr. Louis Lérault de
Argenteuil, of France, and have proven this new
asparagus to be not only 10 days earlier than Pal-
metto, but of larger size and superior in flavor and
color. In New York market, the past two seasons,
it sold for $5.00 per dozen, while other varieties
only brought $1.50 to $2.00 per dozen. It is by far
the most promising asparagus, as a money maker,
that can be grown. Our seed and roots are from the
original importation that has attracted so much
attention and sold so highin New York. Prices

New Round Pod
Kidney Wax

The Best Wax Bean yet Introduced

Since our introduction of this valuable bean

| in 1901, it hds rapidly grown in popularity with
| market gardeners, who now grow it in preference

| to all others.

It originated with N. B. Keeney &
Sons, the well-known bean experts of New York
State, and is the first round-podded Wax Bean we
have ever found possessing the excellent market
and shipping qualities of the popular Wardwell’s
Kidney Wax. The plant grows tall, strong and
sturdy, with long, round, handsome, stringless
pods of large size, very solid and full of meat,
crisp, brittle and free from rust; wonderfully early
and productive. Seed grown by the originator.

LANNIER’S SUPERBA BEET. See also colored plate on back of

this book.

Seed of which is now offered
for sale for the first time

THE MOST PERFECT BEET IN EXISTENCE

For more than fifty years Mr. Wm. Lannier,
one of the oldest and best-known market garden-
ers near Philadelphia, supplied the early and late
markets with the handsomest and most salable
beets that could be had, and Lannier's Beets, as
they were called, became much sought after by the
best commission merchants of New York, Boston,
and Philadelphia. During all these years Mr. Lan-
nier selected with a critical eye the most perfect
beets from each crop for seed stock to plant for his
own use, never allowing himself to purchase seed
for planting from any one. This new beet is the
result of all these years of such careful and intelli-
gent selection, and in it we believe the acme of
perfection has been reached in beet culture.

In sending out sample trial packages last
spring, we offered $100.00 in cash for the best
names suggested for it. These names were referred
to a disinterested committee of three, who, after
careful consideration of all the names sent in,
selected the name of Lannier’s Superba as the
best, with ten other names as the next best. We
immediately sent our checks aggregating $100 to
the successful competitors, as follows:

First Prize, $50.00 for Best Name.

A Few Extracts from Hundreds of Letters Received

TWO WEEKS AHEAD OF OTHERS

E. G. SmirH, Rensselaer, N. Y., July 10, 1903, writes:
“Your new beet (Lannier’s Superba) is a wonder; it is the
earliest and finest I ever had; all other beets planted the
same time will not be ready for two weeks yet.”’

BEAUTIFUL AND DISTINCT IN SHAPE

CuHaAs. E. Davis, Cranbury Station, N. J., Aug. 4, 1903,
writes: ‘‘ Your new beet (Lannier’s Superba) is a stronger
and quicker grower than any other beet I ever raised. Its
beautiful and distinct bell-shape and rich color unequalled.”’

AS EARLY AS EGYPTIAN

R. H. Hart, Stono, S. C., June 11, 1903, writes: ‘‘ Your
new beet (Lannier’s Superba) is just as early as the Extra
Early Egyptian, but far surpasses it in size and tender qual-
ity, sweetness and beauty of form.’’ ;

WILL PLANT NO OTHER

Wm. PERRY, Cool Spring, Del., July 11, 1903, writes: ‘‘ For
beets next season I shall want only your new one (Lannier’s
Superba), Iam so greatly pleased with it. I shall plant no
other for both early and late.”

A WEEK EARLIER THAN LENTZ
Jos. IRVING, Salina, Kan., Aug. 10, 1903, writes: ‘‘I
Plauied your new beet (Lannier’s Superba) one week after
entz and dug them the same time. Jt is the handsomest
and best beet yet introduced.”

NE PLUS ULTRA OF BEET FAMILY

Louis MEYER, Malvern, Ark., June 13, 1903, writes: ‘‘I
planted your new beet (Lannier’s Superba) the end of March
and began using them May 11th. They are the best beet we
ever had; rich, sweet and of asplendid dark carmine color.
This new variety is surely the ne plus ultra of all.”’

MOST ATTRACTIVE FOR MARKET

CHAS. G. ADDISON, Springfield, Md., Aug. 20, 1903, writes:
‘“‘In vigorous and rapid growth, beauty of shape and color,
attractive appearance on the market stall, as wellas delicious
flavor and tenderness, your new beets (Lannier’s Superba)
surpass all others. They were invariably picked out by pur-
chasers before other kinds were touched. I regret that my
whole crop was not of this new variety, but I intend it shall
be in the future.”’

BEST FROM SIX SEEDSMEN

Miss Mary E. KIFEr, Neri, Md., Aug. 6, 1903, writes: ‘‘It
is the sweetest and most tender of any beet I ever used. I
have had beets from six differentseedsmen, and this beautiful
new one of yours is the best of them all.’’

RICHEST RED COLOR
J. Dumas, Rye Valley, Ore., July 25, 1903, writes: ‘‘ Your
new beet (Lannier’s Superba) is the very best of early mar-
ket beets. It is very handsome, having the richest red color,
both inside and out, of any ever seen here.”’

JOHNSON & STOKES’ QUICK-CASH CABBAGE. (See also colored plate on back of book.) Wn. R. WAKEFIELD, Woodhaven, N. Y.

Johnson & Stokes’ Quick-Cash Cabbage is a cross between our Johnson & Stokes’ Earliest
and Early Spring, made and successfully bred for us by one of the largest cabbage growers of Long
Island. It is fully as early as the celebrated Johnson & Stokes’ Earliest. Some growers who tested
it the past season claim it is even earlier than that wonderful variety. It has an advantage, however,
in being a round or flat-headed cabbage, which type is generally preferred to pointed heads. It grows to
good size for so early a variety. The stem is short, leaves finely veined, heads very solid, with few outer
leaves. It has the peculiarity of heading firmly at a very early stage of growth, so that cabbage of
the finest edible and market quality can be obtained long before it has reached its mature size. These
advantages, together with its large yield per acre, make it the most profitable and desirable early cab-
bage that can be grown for either the market or home garden. Prices for 1904: Per pkt., 15c.; 0z., 60c.;
t lb., $2.00 ; lb., $6.50.

WHAT CABBAGE GROWERS SAY OF JOHNSON & STOKES’ QUICK-CASH

EARLIEST OF ALL

W. H. Erarp, Comstock, Mich., July 13, 1903, writes:
“Every plant of your new cabbage (J. & S. Quick-Cash)
made a good-sized solid head, as hard as a rock, quality most
excellent and earliest of all.”

STANDS FOR WEEKS WITHOUT BURSTING

E. S. SHAFFER, Moline, Ill., August 25, 1903, writes:
“Your new cabbage (J. & S. Quick-Cash) grown side by side
with four other extra early kinds, has beat them all in earli-
ness and whiteness of fruit and in solidity of head. After
apparently being fully matured it stands for weeks without
bursting; it even grows moré solid, crisp and tender the
longer it stands.”

EVERY HEAD A PICTURE OF BEAUTY

Wm. Wincott, of Suffolk County Horticultural Associa-
tion, Babylon, N. Y., July 27, 1903, writes: ‘‘I hardly know
how to describe your new cabbage (J. & S. Quick-Cash). It
is the finest and earliest I ever saw. Heads are very large
and the very best quality. Every head is a perfect picture
of beauty.”’

THE FINEST EARLY SHIPPER

WILSON TURNER, Greeley, Col., July 24, 1903, writes : “Your
new cabbage (J. & S. Quick-Cash) is a perfect wonder in
earliness, fine quality and solidity. It will be the finest early
shipper.”

SELLS AT HIGH PRICES

JoHN HERRMAN, Groesback, Ohio, August 5, 1903, writes :
‘From the one packet of your new cabbage sent me (J. &S.
Quick-Cash) I raised 340 fine heads for market, and sold at
high prices. I found it earlier and more solid than any other
cabbage I ever raised.”

A WEEK EARLIER THAN ANY OTHER

CHAS. G. ADDISON, Springfield, Md., July 20, 1903, writes:
‘‘T have tested your new cabbage (J. & S. Quick-Cash ) impar-
tially with my favorite early varieties, and found that from
the start it took the lead of all others and held it to the end.
They are at least a week earlier than any other, and are re-
markable for their solidity and sure heading qualities.’’

LARGE HEADS IN TWO MONTHS

Wm. W. Foust, Barnegat, N. J., August 14, 1903, writes:
‘“Your new cabbage (J. & S. Quick-Cash) was the earliest I
ever raised. Small plants set out the middle of April pro-
duced large solid heads the 15th of June. I reserved some of
the seeds to sow in Fall to Winter over in cold frames, and I
believe I can get cabbage middle of next May.”

NOT BOTHERED BY WORMS

B. MARPLE, Canonsburg, Pa., August 4, 1903, writes:
“Your new cabbage (J. & S. Quick-Cash) came extra early,
with fine, large, very solid round heads, slightly flat. It grows
very close and compact, and was not bothered any by worms.”’

EARLIEST OF SIX EXTRA EARLY SORTS

R. A. CALVIN, Lawrence, Mich., August 12, 1903, writes:
“‘T planted your New Early Cabbage (J. & S. Quick-Cash) this
season at the same time with six other extra early varieties,
and I had yoursin the market ahead of all the rest. It was
very crisp, and more solid at the core than the others.”

THE FIRST TO CUT

GEORGE W. Cook, Cable, Pa., July 17, 1903, writes: “I
am decidedly pleased with your new cabbage (J. & S. Quick-
Cash). It is the earliest of all the early kinds, being the first
I cut this year and by far the handsomest,”’

A New Late Cabbage—Worm-proof Hardiana

Our attention was first attracted to this cabbage in Dock Street Market, Philadelphia, two years ago,
on account of its quick sale and handsome appearance, the leaves being entirely free of worm-holes,
while all other varieties were more or less eaten by the worms. On close examination we found a slight
coating or enameling completely covering the leaves, making it impervious to the worms and without
affecting its fine quality. We found the variety was controlled by a few Atlantic County, N. J., growers,
who readily sold the seed to their near neighbors at $3 to $5 per ounce, and it was only after great per-
suasion and at high cost we were able to get enough to grow our present supply. The heads are very hard
and solid, of good size, often showing a slight purplish tinge on top,and as a winter keeper there is
nothing superior. Per pkt., 15c.; oz., 70c.; 4 lb., $2.25; lb., $8.00.

A FEW OPINIONS ON NEW WORM-
PROOF HARDIANA CABBAGE

NEW NAMELESS CABBAGE FOR INTRODUCTION IN 1905.

B. F. PEEPLES, Whaley, S. C., Aug. 15, 1903, writes: ‘‘Your
new Worm-proof Cabbage, of which you sent me a packet
for trial, is most excellent; it stands the heat better than
any I have ever grown. Absolutely worm-proof and very
large and solid.”’

IF. W. ScHAEFER, Newburgh, N. Y., Sept. 9, 1903, writes:
"Your new Worm-proof Cabbage is all O. K.; not a worm on
any of them; beautiful, solid heads of the best quality. I
thank you for sending me the seed for trial.”

JacoB S. KnisELy, Red Lion, Pa., Sept. 26, 1903, writes:
“For the year 194 I shall plant nothing but new Worm-proof
Cabbage if you have the seed forsale. It is by far the hand-
somest and most perfect late cabbage I have ever seen.”

A New Nameless Cabbage

Trial Packets Now Free

We have been fortunate in securing a small
quantity of seed from the originator of the beauti-
ful new cabbage shown alongside (not yet named),
and which we propose to introduce in 1905. We
shall be glad to add a good-sized trial package free
to all orders of $1.00 and over, where an interest in

PHOTOGRAPH OF AVERAGE EARS OF HOLMES’ PREMO SWEET CORN,

Holmes’ Premo 60-Day Sweet Corn

Mr. C.S. Clark and several other expert corn growers pronounce this new variety from five to seven
days earlier than any other sweet corn in existence. In our own tests the past season it gave us good
boiling ears ahead of all other corn planted, with the single exception of the New Buck Mountain.
It combines all the merits of the leading early varieties, and is also really superior to many of them in
size, quality and yield. Holmes’ Premo can be planted fully as early as the Adams, for the young plants
withstand slight frosts, while other varieties are tender and the seed will rot if planted before the soil
becomes warm. The stalks grow about five feet high, and are very vigorous, generally bearing two well-
developed ears to a stalk. Ext., 10c.; pint, 25c.; quart, 40c., postpaid ; by express or freight, qt., 30c.

Myers’ Quick Growing White Plume Celery

, A new strain of White Plume Celery,
selected and improved by Myers & Bowman
the well-known Philadelphia eee gardeners.
It is unquestionably the earliest celery known,
being ready for market 10 days to 2 weeks
earlier than any other strain. It differs also
from the old White Plume in size and habit,
somewhat resembling the Paris Golden Self-
Blanching, but more stocky and robust, throw-
ing out from 8 to 12 hearts. Leaves are very
light in color and entirely free from green
celery. It has proven to be by far the hand-
somest, best and most salable early celery that
has been offered on Philadelphia markets the
past three seasons.

WHICH IS THE BEST WINTER CELERY?

American Gardening, the leading agricul-
tural paper of New York, in its celery trial
ground reports, March 7, 1903, says:

“ Winter Queen (Johnson & Stokes). In the
vicinity of New York City the market gardeners
have found this variety of green celery to be the
one to plant in preference to any other. It is
one of the very best for late use ; stands hand-
ling and shipping the very best; it was intro-
duced by the firm who annually have sent us
the sample of seed for our trials. It is one of
the darkest of green celeries; makes an exceed-
ingly strong and robust growth ; ; in fact, the
plant, from its very early life, has an appear-
ance of healthfulness; it is of a close and stocky
habit, and when blanched is of a cream-white;
very solid and of a very good flavor; it does not
grow so very tall, but does make an exceedingly
large, broad crown, and thus develops a large
heart. For profit this is the best variety now
grown of the green celeries.”’

improvement on and differ from the old “ Netted Gem”’ in being a little more oblong in shape and
possessing much better shipping and keeping qualities, and are unquestionably one of the best second
early green fleshed melons in existence. Owing to the growing popularity of this melon, much spurious
seed is being offered at low prices, and we warn our customers to beware of such. Our selected
strain of this celebrated melon is unequalled. In addition to selected seed of our own growing, we also
offer thoroughbred seed grown and selected in Colorado, so that our customers can take their choice.

HALBBERT HONBGBY WATERMBLON

Originated by Mr. H. A. Halbert, of Texas, who claims it to be the best that can be grown for family
use and home market. In our trials the past two seasons we haye found it fully equal in delicious flavor
to the celebrated Kleckley Sweets Watermelon, but better and more uniform in color and shape, being
free from any tendency to ‘‘neck.’’ The vines also grow stronger and are much more prolific. Not-
withstanding its Southern origin, they ripen quite early. Lovers of fine melons will make no mistake
in planting Halbert Honey. Pkt., 10c.; 0z., 20c.; } lb 50c.; Ib., $1.50.

THE LARGEST MILD RED PEPPERS IN CULTIVATION

NEW RUBY GIANT PEPPER.

CHINESE GIANT PEPPER.

NEW RUBY GIANT PEPPER

In Philadelphia and many other markets there is a demand for long-shaped peppers on the style of
the Ruby King. To meet this demand a New Jersey grower has successfully crossed the Ruby King
and Chinese Giant, retaining the large size of the Chinese Giant with the longer shape of the Ruby
King, as shown in our photograph above. Supply of seed grown and selected by the originator is so

small we can only offer in packets this season.

sorts; notwithstanding its immense size, it does
not get hollow or pithy, the flesh remaining white,
solid, crisp and tender, and of the mildest flavor.
The shape is well shown in our photograph along-
side. Packets of seed, for trial, were distributed
last Spring to many experienced market gardeners,
who all agree that it is a very valuable acquisition
to our list of fine early Radishes. Per pkt., 10c.;

Photograph of new SANTA ROSA TOMATO—specimen weighing 23 ounces, 1744 inches in circumference.

New Jammoth Main Grop Tomato—now called SANTA ROSE

Three years ago one of our customers at Santa Rosa, California, sent us a few seeds of this valuable
new tomato for trial. Upon growing we found in it a new race of tomatoes, differing from all others in
its brilliant crimson untinged color, thick symmetrical shape, solid, meaty and almost seedless flesh. We
were also astonished at its great size, eclipsing all very large tomatoes such as Ponderosa, Enormous and
all others we have ever seen, many fruits 5 to 6 inches across and almost as deep through. Desiring that
it be given a trial in all sections of the country, before offering the seed for sale, we sent out several thou-
sand trial packages last Spring, and publish below a few extracts from several hundred letters received.

AN OBJECT OF AMAZEMENT

Hon. Bens. M. FRISBEE, Rideout, Fla., July 7, 1903, writes:
“Your new Main Crop Tomato (Santa Rosa) is an object of
amazement to all. I have just picked one that measures 16
inches around and weighs 20% ounces. Although so large,
they are solid and firm. They are smooth and round, and as
@ main cropper cannot be surpassed ; they are about 14 days
later than Sparks’ Karliana.”’

A WONDER IN SIZE AND QUALITY
J. C. SuTTON, Blacks, Ind., Sept. 14, 1903, writes: ‘‘ Your
new tomato (Santa Rosa) isa wonder in size and quality; I
never saw itsequal. I shall want to buy the seed next season.”’

A CONTINUOUS BEARER

R. H. DENNEY, Smyrna, Del., Sept. 14, 1903, writes: ‘‘Early
in the Spring I sowed in our plant house your New Mammoth
Main Crop Tomato Seed (Santa Rosa); they made us very
strong, thrifty plants. Iset them out in due time and they
made excellent vines. The tomatoes were the largest I ever
saw. Our crop is now about over; they have been bearing
since the early part of July.”

BEST FOR CANNING AND MARKET

P. WEBER, Hamilton, Ohio, Sept. 16, 1903, writes: ‘‘ Your
new California tomato is the finest main crop variety, being
very large, firm and solid, with but few seeds. I highly
recommend it as the best for canning and market.’’

WHAT A NEWSPAPER SAYS

Leta M. BRADLEY, of Malden, Mo., sends, July 3, 19038, a
clipping from The Dunklin News, which reads: ‘‘ Three mam-
moth tomatoes were brought to this office yesterday that are
fine specimens of that luscious fruit. They were raised by J.
N. Howard in this city and he says he has great quantities
that are nearly as large as these specimens. Two of them
measure 14 inches in circumference and weigh over one pound
each. The seed (Santa Rosa) came from Johnson & Stokes.
The plants had no particular cultivation more than is usual.”

TOMATOES OVER 7 INCHES ACROSS

J. M. McCRAcKEN, Bucyrus, Ohio, Aug. 9, 1903, writes :
“T have plants growing of your large California Main Crop
Tomato (Santa Rosa) from seed received last Spring and I
now have tomatoes on them measuring over 7 inches across.”’

VIGOROUS AND WONDERFULLY PROLIFIC

Rost. C. May, Miamo, Fla., May 2, 1903, writes: ‘* Your
new Main Crop California Tomato (Santa Rosa) is a very fine
variety. The plant is a vigorous grower, wonderfully prolific
and the fruit solid, very large and excellent in quality.”

LARGEST AND BEST HE EVER GREW

J. M. MuRTLAND, Dawson, Pa., Sept. 22, 1903, writes:
“The fruit of your new Main Crop Tomato (Santa Rosa)
ripens very evenly. It is the largest and best 1 evergrew.”’

Prices for 1904 of new Santa Rosa Tomato seed of our own growth and selection: Pkt., 15c.; 2 pkts.,

A New Extra Early Tomato Free

Which We Desire to Have Tested in Comparison with our Famous Sparks’ Earliana

Very early tomatoes have of late years been such a profitable crop that almost every grower in
Southern New Jersey boasts, with more or less justice, that he has the earliest tomato. This new
variety comes from the same trucking section as Sparks’ Earliana, and the originator, Mr. E. A. Locke,
claims it to be even earlier than that wonderful variety. So strongly was it recommended by Mr. Locke
and many of his neighbors that we have secured from him, at high cost, a limited quantity of the seed,
so that we may include a liberal trial packet to all customers whose orders amount to $2.00 and over.

SPARKS’ EARLIANA TOMATO _ 3tUZieiRsteovce

THE EARLIEST LARGE, SMOOTH TOMATO IN THE WORLD
The most perfect of all tomatoes. Of large uniform size and beautiful red color. Quality almost beyond praise.
Ripens thoroughly all over, the stem-end coloring up perfectly. Almost seedless and as solid as
beefsteak. Most vigorous grower. A prodigious bearer, continuing until frost.
Succeeds everywhere from Maine to California, and Canada to Mexico.

The above claims may seem
strong, but they have been
abundantly proven by thou-
sands of planters who have
grown this grand tomato in the
past 3 years. Nothing we have
ever introduced has brought us
go many strong unsolicited tes-
timonials. Tomato growers of
the United States have realized
hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars from this remarkable va-
riety. The demand for the seed
was so great in 1903 that we
were obliged to refuse all large
orders from planters and seeds-
men. We have positive knowl-
edge that another and greatly
inferior tomato was sold last
season, and will again be offered
in 1904 as Sparks’ Earliana, and
warn our customers to beware
of such.

of seed to the acre, while other varieties yield from 75 to 100 pounds per acre. For this reason the
genuine seed can never be sold at a low price. We control the entire supply of seed grown direct from
the originator’s selected stock seed. Per pkt., 15c.; $ 0z., 40c.; oz., 80c.; 4 1b., $2.50 ; lb., $9.00.

df space would permit, we could print hundreds
of letters similar to the following:

‘THREE TIMES AS PRODUCTIVE AS OTHERS

J. T. MAUzyY, Princeton, Ind., Aug. 19, 1903, writes:
“‘T never saw any tomato that would begin to equal
Sparks’ Earliana in earliness, productiveness and fine
quality. Ican get more tomatoes off of 300 Sparks’
Earliana plants than I could get off 1000 of any other
variety.”
OVER TWO WEEKS AHEAD

Gro. M. Harwoop, Platte, Mich., Sept. 18, 1903,
writes: ‘‘I had tomatoes over two weeks before
any one else here, they were your Earliana. I sold 59
baskets of them at $1.25 per basket. Everybody
praises them. They areso large and solid and have
better flavor than any other tomato.”

RIPEN IN CANADA JULY 10th

A. H. LEONARD, Prescott, Ont., Canada, July 29,
1903, writes: ‘‘ Your Sparks’ Earliana is the earliest
and best tomato I ever saw. I gathered bushels of
ure ones in this northern latitude on the 10th of

uly.

FINEST FRUITS FROM JULY TO
SEPTEMBER

W. H. CLARK, New Brunswick, N. J., Sept. 11,
1903, writes: ‘‘ Your Sparks’ Earliana tomatoes are
-very large, solid and perfect; flavor is excellent; the
color perfect; it gave finest fruits from July 4th to
September 12th. An enormous yielder.”’

$300 FROM % OUNCE OF SEED

C. M. EMERorRY, Knoxville, Tenn., Oct. 17, writes:
“The 44 ounce Sparks’ Earliana Tomato Seed pur-
~chased from you gave me 1500 plants from which I
made over $300. I have been growing tomatoes for
18 years and have never seen its equal. Fine large
tomatoes more than three weeks ahead of all others
-on the market.”

MOST VALUABLE NOVELTY IN A CENTURY

JOHN W. MILLETT, Bismarck, N. Dakota, writes:
“T congratulate you on having introduced the most
valuable tomato novelty of the past century, which
Sparks’ Earliana surely is. It is earlier than all other
varieties ever brought forward; it produces three
‘times the amount of fruit of any variety I ever grew.
This superb tomato not only equals, but far surpasses
-all you claim for it.”

TWO WEEKS AHEAD OF ATLANTIC PRIZE

Mrs. B. R. MILLER, McKeesport, Pa., July 31, 1903, writes:
“Your Sparks’ Earliana is the best all-around Tomato we
-ever had; it is perfectly smooth, very meaty, a good keeper
sud first of all to ripen, being two weeks ahead of Atlantic
Tize. ‘

CAN HAVE TOMATOES BY JUNE 20th

GEORGE W. CorRNIsH, Inwood, L. I., N. Y., Feb. 20, 1903,
writes: ‘I have raised tomatoes 32 years, but have never
“seen any as good as your Sparks’ Earliana. I believe by
taising these plants in house I can have tomatoes for the
table by the 20th of June.’’

FIRST PRIZE IN CANADA

THos. BULMAN, Winnipeg, Canada, Sept. 3, 1903, writes:
“‘Your Sparks’ Earliana Tomatoes have given great satis-
faction; they are by far the earliest. At the Horticultural
Exhibiticn I received first prize for them. You will find a
»great demand for the seed in Manitoba and Canada.”’

176 TOMATOES ON ONE PLANT

Wo. H. Kirpy, Chestertown, Md., writes: ‘‘ Your Sparks’
Farliana is the finest tomato lever saw. It isthe earliest and
“most productive. In the past thirty years I have tried many
varieties of tomatoes, but this one beats them all; yesterday
-one of my men counted 176 tomatoes on one plant.”

Tomatoes ever offered

WITHSTOOD WET WHEN OTHERS ROTTED

C. W. MACMILLAN, Savannah, Ga., writes: ‘‘I found your
Sparks’ Earliana everything you claim for them; not only
were they heavy bearers and at least ten days earlier than
any other varieties planted at same time, but they withstood
an exceedingly wet season without damage, whilst other
kinds rotted badly.”’

$200 ON LESS THAN ONE-HALF ACRE

R. E. L. BRADFORD, Forth Worth, Texas, August 2, 1902,
writes: ‘‘I sold $200 worth of tomatoes from less than one-
half acre of your Sparks’ Earliana. It beats any tomato ever
grown for this market in earliness and productiveness. I
will plant three acres of them next season.”

EARLIEST AND BEST OF 100 VARIETIES

ALFRED PALMER, Salem, N.C., writes: ‘‘After forty years’
experience in tomato raising I must say that of over 100
varieties I have tried, I found your Sparks’ Earliana to be the
very earliest and best in every way. Its quality and merits
are perfection.”

HEAVY CROP WHEN OTHERS FAILED

GEO. WoLFRUM, JR., Kresson, N. J., writes: ‘‘I have
grown your Sparks’ Earliana Tomato since its introduction,
and find it the very earliest and best. Last year I had a heavy
crop of them while my neighbors had hardly any from other
varieties.

Sparks’ Earliana Tomato requires intelligent and constant selection for stock seed to keep it at its
present high standard. All seed purchased from us (the introducers) insures the highest possible grade
‘saved from selected fruits of the genuine variety. We planted in 1903 in Sparks’ Earliana by far the
largest acreage we have ever grown in any one variety of tomato and hope te be able to fill all orders that

“we may receive this season.

Donald’s Elmira Asparagus

This new asparagus, first |
introduced by us, has attracted |
much attention throughout ff
the country. It was originated
by Mr. A. Donald,a prominent |f
market gardener of Elmira.
He has always realized hand-
some prices, and although a
large grower was unable to
supply half the demand. The
delicate green color is notably
different from either the fam-
ous Barr's Philadelphia Mam-
moth or Pa)Jmetto, while the
stalks are more tender and
succulent. Its mammoth size
ean be realized from the fact
that in whole crops a bunch
of twelve stalks will average
three to four poundsin weight.
It requires much less labor in jf
eutting and bunching, thus
lessening the expense of mar-
keting. Price of Seed: Pkt.,
5e.; oz., 10¢c.; 14 lb., 30c.; lb.,

year old, 70c. per 100 (by mail,

Barr’s Philadelphia Mammoth

This variety originated with Crawford Barr, a promi-
nent market gardener of Pennsylvania. Grown side by side
with Conover’s Colossal, it grows twice as large and more
productive. In Philadelphia it is much sought after and sells
at top-notch prices. SEED: Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; 14 Ib., 20c.;
lb., 65e. GOOD STRONG ROOTS, 1 year old, 65c. per 100
(by mail, postpaid, 50 for 50c.; 90c. per 100); $4.50 per 1,000; 2
years old, 70c. per 100; $5.00 per 1,000 (500 roots at 1,000 rate).

Columbian Mammoth White

This is a most distinct variety, discovered on Long Island
a few years since. The Stalks are large, produced abundantly
and early. They are clear white and remain so as long as fit
for use, without earthing up or any other artificial blanch-
ing. There is a large demand from canners for this sort.

This asparagus is now quite extensively grown for New
York and Philadelphia markets, where it sells at high
prices, owing to its fine size and regularity. Although of
Southern origin, it is equally well adapted to the North.

New dersey Grown Pole Lima Beans

WHY THEY ARE THE BEST
For nearly half a century Southern New Jersey has had

nd

so, of growing the finest

Lima Beans in the United States, the product being eagerly
sought after by Boston, New York, Philadelphfa and other
Eastern cities, for both seed and consumption. For some
years past, however, most all seedsmen have been growing
their supplies in Southern California, where they are grown |

We have made hundreds

of tests of various’ Limas from California seed, and find the
product much inferior in both quality and productiveness

It. is also difficult to get

|
; |
them to take the poles, owing to the method by which they )
are grown, while the beans are smaller and !ack the rich, )
buttery flavor peculiar to the New. Jersey Limas. |

|

Twenty quarts of Pole Limas are required to plant an acre in hills
four by four feet. We sell Large Packets of each variety, 10c. each,
postpaid. Pints, when sent by freight or express, at half the quart
rates; half peck and half bushel at peck and bushel rates.

Ford’s Mammoth Podded Pole Lima Bean

This Lima Bean is the result of over twenty years’ selection by the
late Jas. Ford, who was one of the oldest market gardeners around
Philadelphia. The pods grow to an average length of eight inches, are
produced in great clusters, with from five to seven beans per pod, of most
excellent quality for using either green or dry. The vines grow vigor-
ously, setting the beans early at the bottom of the pole, and continue in
bearing right up to frost. Ford’s Mammoth Podded is, without ex-
4] ception, the largest podded, finest flavored and most productive
of all Lima Beans. Pkt., 10c.; pint, 30c.; qt., 55¢., postpaid; by freight

SEIBERT’S EARLY LIMA. This new variety is one of the very
earliest. The vine is very vigorous and productive. Pods are large
but thin, and can be more easily opened than those of other varieties.
The green beans are very large, handsome and of the best quality. In
earliness, ease of shelling, size, beauty and quality of the green beans,
this variety is superior, and is now recognized as one of the best for
either the garden or market. Pkt., 10c.; pint, 25c.; qt., 45c., postpaid ;

MANGEL-WURZEL AND SUGAR CATTLE BEETS

We strongly recommend the Mangels and Sugar Beets for feeding to cattle, sheep and swine. The
roots grow to a very large size, make a much heavier yield than Turnips, and are more nutritious and
fattening for food during the winter, largely increasing the yield of milk in cows. They can be grown
at trifling cost. The seed should be sown during April or May, in rows 24 to 3 feet apart, at the rate of
five pounds per acre. When the plants are 2 or 3 inches high, thin or cut out with the hoe to 10 or 12
inches apart. The roots should be harvested before frost and stored in pits or cellars.

THE CHIRK CASTLE MANGEL-WURZEL BEET

Remarkable for its handsome, thick, uniform shape and very broad shoulders, its diameter
being greater and its weight much heavier than Mammoth Long Red, as shown in our photograph
above. Flesh is deep red, containing less water and more sugar than any other Mangel, making it
more nutritious and milk-producing. Sheep also thrive better when fed on it, picking out pieces of it
in preference to other kinds. It was originated in Scotland, where it has been known to produce 60

Kigh-Rred Rmerican Grown Cabbage Seed

To gardeners generally no vegetable is of greater importance than the cabbage; and to many grow-
ers the success or failure of this crop means gain or loss for the year. It does not pay, therefore, to take
any risks in buying seed. Much of the seed commonly sold has not had the great care necessary in
growing to make it reliable. Our Cabbage Seed is the very best that can be grown, raised only from
the centre shoots and from carefully selected solid heads. Our crops are all personally inspected with
untiring care-and watchfulness. As a standing evidence of its quality, we annually supply hundreds of
the best market,gardeners about Philadelphia, New York, Chicago and other large cities.

While this sort is not so early as Johnson & Stokes’ Earliest, it will be found to be the very beat
conical-headed sort to come in immediately after it. It heads up remarkably hard and solid, with but
few outside leaves, which are unusually thick and heavy, enabling it to stand cold weather without
injury when carried through the winter either in the open ground in the South or in cold frames in the

In this, the most pe-fect and uniform cabbage in existence, we have also the earliest and most
compact of all large cubbages. It receives nothing but praise from Maine to California, and is
pronounced by prominent gardeners everywhere the very best of all large early cabbages, either for
Summer or Winter use. In it we have a cabbage so hardy and vigorous that it can be set earlier than
Jersey Wakefield or Early Summer, and will produce fine, solid, marketable heads, more than twice as
large as Jersey Wakefield and one-half again as large as Early Summer and comes in as early as Large
Wakefield and fully a week earlier than Early Summer or any other variety of its size or class. When
planted for a Fall or Winter cropthere is no other cabbage which will withstand the Summer sun so well
and is so sure to form large, deep, solid heads which keep perfectly all Winter. Choicest seed of our own

LOUDERBACK’S ALL THE YEAR ROUND CABBAGE.—Unflagging under the hottest sun or heaviest frost.

Louderback’s All the Year Round Cabbage

This cabbage, originated by Daniel Louderback,
has for many years been the standard early round-
headed cabbage with Philadelphia gardeners, who
prefer it to Early Summer and similar sorts, the
originator frequently getting as high as $10.00 per
pound forhis seed. It is not only the finest early
Drumhead in cultivation, but is equally as good
for second and third early, intermediate and
late. Heading: large, compact and solid at all
seasons. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 30c.; 4 Ib., 75c.; lb., $2.75.

being far superior to the Imported Drumhead
Savoy, as generally cold, the seed of which can be

grower of Long Island, writes of it as follows:
“The Houser Cabbage is entirely distinct from
anything I have ever grown or anything now on
the market. It is fully two weeks later than other
sorts and a very hard header. It is a first-class
keeper, retaining its color to a marked degree.”’

SPECIAL NOTICE. In 25 years’ experience growing Seeds, we have never known so near a
complete crop failure as that of Seed Sweet Corn in 1903. The great amount of cold, wet weather in
the East, where the best seed is grown, shortened the crop very materially, reducing many varieties to
almost a failure. Prices by peck and bushel are subject to market changes and supplies being unsold.

THE ANNE ARUNDEL MUSKMELON.

Anne Arundel Muskmelon 7

An improvement on the well-known Acme or
Baltimore, growing to larger size, with thicker
flesh. Notwithstanding its large size, it is ready
for picking immediately after the extra early sorts,
is a heavy yielder and bears shipment well, ite
shape enabling it to resist pressure much better
than the rounder melons. The Anne Arundel is
fast becoming the most popular green-fleshed sort
for both market and family use. Pkt., 5c.; 0z.,
15c.; + 1b., 40c.; lb., $1.40.

SHORT SEED CROPS Owing to attacks of in-

sects and bad climatic
conditions in many seed-growing sections seed
crops of both muskmelons and watermelons have
been shorter than for many years. There is not
half enough seed in the country for normal require-
ments. Before going to print with this catalogue,
we have declined wholesale orders for thousands of
pounds of the leading sorts, preferring to supply
our retail customers with their wants, and hope
our action will be appreciated.
Varieties not listed are a total failure.

SPECIMEN OF PAUL’S BONNY BEST—RIPENED IN 62 DAYS.

Paul’s Bonny Best Watermelon

The earliest watermelon in cultivation. It
originated with the late Aaron Paul, the famous
New Jersey melon grower and hybridizer, In our
trials in past seasons we had good-sized melons,
plenty large for market, weighing 15 to 20 lbs. each,
on July 10th, from seed planted May 9th, while
most other varieties could not be eaten until about

New Triumph Watermelon

This new melon has created quite a furore
among shippers on account cf the very high prices
realized by those who have grown them. Triumph
is across between the Duke Jones and Kolb Gem,
having the handsome dark green color of the former

BLACK BOULDER WATERMELON, TRUE JOHNSON’S DIXIE WATERMELON,

BLACK BOULDER—The Great Shipping Watermelon

For this grand new and distinct watermelon we are also indebted to the late Aaron Paul. It is
enormously productive, reaching a mammoth size, with rich, dark green skin. It cuts equal to any
market melon we have ever eaten, and its shipping ‘qualities are phenomenal, no other melon equaling
it in tough skin and rind. While it has rapidly become one of the leading melons for market, it is one
of the: best “all round’? melons in existence, and for the family garden it is also without a peer. Pkt.,

GENUINE JOHNSON’S DIXIE WATERMELON

The true Johnson’s Dixie is a cross between the Kolb Gem and Old-Fashioned Mountain Sweet,
and surpasses the Kolb Gem in shipping qualities, and fully equals the Mountain Sweet, Kleckley and
Florida Favorite in superior eating quality, and is ten days earlier than any of them. Its great pro-
ductiveness is shown from the fact that it frequently matures six to eight large melons to the vine.
Owing to the great popularity of this variety, another and much inferior melon is frequently substituted
and soldforit. Ifyou want quality and genuine seed, send to the introducers. Pkt., 5c.; oz , 10c.; 4 1b.

FROM RICHARD’S CELEBRATED ENGLISH MILLTRACK
MUSHROOM SPAWN.

-RICHARD’S ENGLISH MILLTRACK MUSH-

experienced maker in England) can be thoroughly relied on

Perkins’ Mammoth Long Podded

This distinct new okra
is by far the best. It was
originated by M, B. Per-
kins, a well-known New
Jersey trucker, after many
years of careful study and
selection. Its productive-
ness is simply wonderful.
The pods shoot out from
the stalk within three
inches of the ground, and
the whole plant is covered
with them to the extreme
height of the plant. The
pods are an intense greem
eolor, of unusual length,
eight to nine inches, very
slim, and do not get hard,
as is the case with other
okras. It is also much
sought after by canners,
being the best of all green
sorts for canning for Winter
use. Our seed is grown by
the originator. Pkt, 5¢.;

There is no vegetable in which the quality of the seed exerts a greater influence upon the crop
than in onions. Our stock is all grown from choice bulbs, selected by hand, and is unsurpassed in this
country. During our whole business career as seedsmen, it has always been our aim to make quality a
first consideration, price afterwards, and in no one crop have we met with greater reward for our efforts
than in onions, the demand for our seed having increased so rapidly that we have been obliged to
largely increase our facilities for growing every year for several years past.

PHILADELPHIA-GROWN SEED, or that raised in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania, is
unquestionably earlier than New England seed, and still earlier compared with Western seed. This
is an important feature, as the early market onions always bring the highest prices. The growth con-
clusively proves our claim, the Philadelphia seed making bulbs of better quality for keeping or imme-
diate use, either as sets or full-sized onions, long before seed from any other locality. Large, full-sized
onions can be grown from our seed the first season in any section of the United States, North or South

One ounce will sow one hundred feet ef drill. To grow large onions from seed, five pounds to the
acre; to grow small sets, fifty to sixty pounds to the acre are required. For full infcrmation fer culture,
storage and marketing onions and onion sets. see our New Leaflet-Essays on thi: subject, which will
be sent free with all orders for onion seed, when requested.

Model Export Hardy Onion

This new onion, seed of which we offered for sale for the
first time last season, originated in Northern New York, where
the seed had heretofore been controlled by a few market
growers. In fine color they are different from all other
onions, and might be described as a pinkish dark yellow or
distinct mandarin color. They have become noted for their
long-keeping qualities, commanding high prices and much
sought after by onion dealers in New York and Boston for
shipment to foreign countries. Their rapidity of growth makes
them invaluable, as they are ready for bunching for market
two weeks before any other onion, growing good-sized onions
from the black seed almost as early as other onions grown from
sets, and can therefore be produced much cheaper. Per pkt.,
10c.; oz., 30c.; 4 lb., 90c.; lb., $3.25 ; 5 lbs. for $15.00.

What Growers Say of 2 Grand Onions

WARREN WEBSTER, Port Monmouth, N. J., Aug. 29, 1903, writes: ‘‘I had
on August 20th onions of your Model Export Hardy, measuring 4 inches in
diameter, said by onion growers in this section to be ahead of all onions
they ever saw grown from seed. They grew splendidly while other kinds
were a failure. As I have the only Model Export in this county I will have
# home market for them all at good prices.”

R. G. Wuirte, W. Orange, S. Dak., Oct. 24th, writes: ‘It is beyond my
power to properly describe the merits of the New Hardy Export Onion. It
is very large for one so early, distinct and beautiful in color, extremely
hardy, and the onions look to me as though they would keep for a year.”

_JouN O. RAsseErR, Mill Hall, Pa., Aug. 13, 1903, writes: ‘‘ Your Philadel-
phia Yellow Globe Danvers Onion seed has produced for me the finest crop
of onions in all this section; no other will be planted here next year.”

Henry Hosxrns, Binghamton, N. Y., writes: ‘‘In twenty years’ experi-
ence your Philadelphia Yellow Globe Danvers has proven the best and MODEL EXPORT HARDY ONION, as bunched
handsomest onion I have ever grown; a wonderful seller and keeper.”’ for early home market.

SEED SWEET POTATOES

We make a specialty of Seed Sweet Potatoes, growing
eur stock exclusively in New Jersey, about nine miles from
our Philadelphia warehouse, where we have unequalled
facilities for handling and storing. New Jersey grown sweet
potatoes are everywhere acknowledged to be the best in
quality, being much dryer and sweeter than those grown
in the South and West, while their keeping and shipping
qualities are away ahead. We pack for shipment in boxes
and barrels, with greatest care; but asthey are very suscep-
tible to climatic changes, we cannot hold ourselves respon-
sible for their condition after long journeys ofseveral hundred
miles, and wish it distinctly understood that customers
take ALL RISKS after we deliver in good condition to the
express or railroad company here. We do not ship until
about planting time unless specially ordered to do so. Our
barrels contain three bushels—good measure. Full
and concise directions for bedding and sprouting the seed,
setting out and cultivating sweet potato plants, also harvest-
ing and storing for winter, will be found in onr new Leaflet-
Essays on Sweet Potato Culture, which we will send
free with all orders when requested to do so.

Photograph of Section of Field Grown by the Originator for
us, of the NEW VINELAND BUSH SWEET POTATO.

Vineland Bush Sweet Potato

The New Vineland Bush Sweet Potato is bound to
revolutionize sweet potato culture. It originated on the
farm of John Maytrott, the extensive sweet potato grower of
New Jersey, from the well-known Early Nansemond and old
Vineland Sweet Potato. Itis a perfect bush, with no inclin-
ation for spinning, resembling a bean bush very closely.
The tubers grow directly under the stalk. They are most
abundant bearers, good flavor, handsome rich yellow color
and excellent keepers. Customers who have tried them say:
“They are simply perfection and a great improvement over
all other vineless potatoes heretofore sold.”

OF INTEREST TO DAIRYMEN. Mr. Maytrott writes:
‘From 2,000 plants I had in one patch I harvested 86 baskets
of prime potatoes, 35 seconds and 27 culls, making a total of
148°4 bushel baskets. I then had the tops, which average 3
pounds each, which made 6,000 pounds of green forage, which
was eaten with great relish by my cows. The milk was rich
and had a sweet, pleasant flavor. All other stock except
horses thrive onit. By planting in rows, 30 inches wide and
15 inches apart, one acre will contain about 14,000 plants.
With proper care you will havea fine crop of potatoes and
about Twenty-one Tons of Green Forage.”

KING OF THE MAMMOTHS—tte Great Prize Pumpkin '

This now famous pumpkin first came to our attention some years ago, while visiting France, where —

“we secured seed and distributed it among our customers. The results have been astonishing. No
other pumpkin ever introduced has reached such enormous weights, and been awarded as many
prizes. Hundreds of our customers have raised specimens weighing over one hundred and fifty
pounds each, the heaviest ever grown, and sent in to us, being the above specimen, which tipped the
scale at two hundred and forty-seven pounds. It frequently attains a diameter of over four feet. The
flesh and skin are golden yellow, and notwithstanding itsenormoussize, it makes a good table pumpkin,

JOHNSON & STOKES’ OLIVE SCARLET FORCING RADISH.

Johnson & Stokes’ Olive Scarlet Radish

A decided improvement on the ordinary deep scarlet
olive-shaped radish, selected and perfected by a Philadel-
phia market grower. The tops are so small that the radishes
may almost stand touching each other in the rows. Its fine
shape, as shown in photograph above, is notits only superior
quality, but it is the handsomestin color of all deep red sorts,
selling better in market than other olive-shaped sorts. Itis
also the best early red radish for the home garden, being
unusually crisp and tender. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15¢.; 14 Ib., 40c.;
Ib., $1.25.

New Crimson Giant Forcing Radish

See illustratio#i and description under Novelties, page 10.

THE COMET—A New French Radish

Since we first introduced, a few years since, this superior
new, early, long white radish, we have received hundreds of
letters unqualifiedly endorsing it as by far the earliest, hand-
somest and best in quality,of‘any of its class. In our own
trials it has never failed to give good edible radishes in
twenty daysfrom sowing, and has remained in fine condition
for use longer than any other extra early variety. We offer
choice seed grown for us by the originatorin France. Pkt.,
Se.; 0z..10e.; 44 1b., 30¢c.; Ib., $1.00.

New Triumph Radish

A Valuable and Distinct Novelty in Forcing Radishes
The roots are about the same size and shape as Rosy Gem,
but-are creamy-white, beautifully marked+ with spots and
dashes of carmine. The tops are small and it matures about
as early as any variety in cultivation: Desirable on account
of its distinct beauty, earliness and good quality.” Pkt., 5c.; |
oz., 10c.; 14 1b., 30c.; Ib., $1.00.

FELTON’S MODEL WHITE BOX RADISH.

Felton’s Model White Box Radish

Felton’s Mode! possesses all the excellent qualities of
the old Philadelphia White Box, but is superior in being
much handsomer and earlier, with fewer and shorter leaves;
hence it can be sown more thickly in the row, enabling the
grower to raise at least one-third more radishesin the same
space under glass, in boxes or open ground. Pkt.,5c.; oz.,
10c.; 4 1b., 30c.; lb., 90e.

New White Chartier Radish

This variety, originated in New Jersey, is a white form
of the well-known Chartier or Shepherd Radish. It matures

in about six weeks from sowing, and remains fit for use
| three weeks afterward. Tops short, flesh mild, crisp and fine

for slicing. Our seed is grown for us by the originator.

JOHNSON & STOKES, Piiiateipniastas

For years we have made a careful study of growing the
very best tomato seed. All tomatoes showing the slightest
variation from the standard type are rigidly discarded, thus
securing the purest possible seed.

One ounce will produce about thirteen hundred plants.

CHALK’S EARLY JEWEL TOMATO

Introduced Jast season as a competitor of Sparks’ Earliana
by another seedsman. After a thorough trial at Floracroft
and among our customers, we find it three weeks later and far
less productive than Earliana. We recommend it, however,
as a good second early. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 45¢.; 14 Ib., $1.25;
lb., $4.50. :

THE EARLY BIRD TOMATO

With the exception of Sparks’ Earliana, this is the
earliest tomato. Notwithstanding itssmall to medium size,

many have written us they have found it a most profitable |

variety to grow. Very smooth, with pink skin. Pkt., 10c.;

oz., 80c.; 14 1b., 85¢e.; 1b., $3.00.

ATLANTIC PRIZE T2MATS

First introduced by us in 1889. Thousands of acres are
now annually planted from Maineto Texas. The vines grow
strong, stiff and very rapidly, setting the crown fruit when
very young. Each vine produces from sixty to eighty large,
perfect tomatoes. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 20c.; 44 Ib., 60c.; Ib., $2.00.

SANTA ROSA TOMATO

A new mammoth main crop variety, now first offered.
See illustration and description under Novelties, page 11.
Pkt., 15¢.; oz., 70c.; 14 1b., $2.00; 1b., $7.00.

QUICKSURE—THE BEST SECOND EARLY TOMATO,

THE QNICKSURE T2MAT?

With the advent of the Santa Rosa Tomato this year, we
claim to have introduced the three most valuable tomatoes in
cultivation. With the Sparks’ Earliana for first early,
Quicksure for second early and Santa Rosa (described
on page 11) for main crop, no grower need be without a
succession of magnificent tomatoes throughout the entire
season, The Quicksure, which we first introduced in 1900,
was originated by Mr. Howard Russ, a well-known trucker
of Burlington County, N. J. Color bright red; very solid,
heavy and wonderfully: prolific of very large, fine fruit.
Pkt., 10c.; oz., 25¢.; 44 Ib., 75e.; Ib., $2.50.

QUAKTER CENTURY T2MAT®S

Originated by Dr. Van Fleet, horticultural editor of the
Rural New Yorker. It might be called an Improved Dwarf
Aristocrat, its erect bushy vines and fine red fruits closely
resembling that variety. It is very early and has proven a
wee le acquisition. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 35c.; 44 1b., $1.00; Ib.,
$3.50.

THE MATCHLESS TOMATO

A great favorite for both market and family use. Pro-
duces uniformly large, brightred fruitthroughout the season.
Flesh very solid and heavy, free from core, and will keepin
good condition for a week to 10 days after being taken from
the vine. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 25c.; 141b., 75c.; 1b., $2.50.

STONE TOMATO, MOST POPULAR WITH TRUCKEES
AND CANNERS,

NEW STONE TOMATO

This is deservedly the most popular main crop tomato
for market and canning, owing to its Jarge size and great
solidity. When grown from properly selected seed the fruits
are very uniform, smooth and of handsome bright scarlet
color. Flesh meaty and fine in flavor. Our strain is unsur-
passed. Pkt., 5¢e.; oz., 20c.; 4 lb., 50c.; 1b., $1.75, postpaid; by
express or freight, lb., $1.65; 5 lbs. and over, $1.60 per lb.

THE SUCCESS TOMATO

A new scarlet-fruited tomato somewhat resembling our
Great B. B., or Brinton’s Best. Itis of very large size, hand-
some, smooth and of very fine quality. Fruit sets in clusters
and ripenssecond early. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 30¢c.; 44 lb., 7de.; 1b.,
$2.75.

LIVINGSTON’S MAGNUS TOMATO

An improvement on the old Acme and Beauty, which. it
resembles in color, being thicker, heavier and more solid
than either. Fruit in clusters, ripening evenly and matur-
ing quickly. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 25¢.; 44 1b., 75¢.; 1b., $2.50.

TRUCKERS’ FAV2RITE T2MAT2

A very large purple tomato, of superior quality; very
solid and free from cracks orrot. Very popular in Northern
New Jersey. Pkt., 10c.; 0z., 30c.; 34 1b., 75c.; lb., $2.75.

THE EN&RMEUS T2MATS

Fruits uniformly large, four to five inches across and
very deep through. Borne two and three in a cluster;
smooth, solid and brilliant scarlet. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 25¢e.; %4
1b., 75c.; Ib., $2.75.

THE GREAT B. B. (BRINTON’S BEST)

This is one of the very best for second early and main
erop. The vines grow vigorously and produce abundantly
until killed by frost. Fruit of deep red color, uniformly
even large size and perfectly smooth. Jt will keep in good
marketable condition for two weeks after picking. Pkt., 10c.;
oz., 30¢c.; 14 1b., 85ce.; Ib., $3.00.

Fully appreciating the great importance to the farmer of GOOD
FIELD CROPS, we have given particular attention to this depart-
ment of our business, and have made the SELECTION AND IM-
PROVEMENT OF FARM SEEDS a specialty, exercising great
care to secure the best varieties, thoroughly cleaned and of the
finest possible quality. Our FARM SEEDS HAVE GAINED
A NATIONAL REPUTATION, and we supply each year hundreds
of customers in every State, from MAINE TO CALIFORNIA.

Johnson & Stokes’ Thoroughbred Field Corn
Selected for Seed—Tested for Vitality

IMPROVED LEAMING CORN

We feel it a great honor to have been the first seedsmen to in-
troduce and call attention to the great value of the True Improved
Leaming Corn, eighteen years ago, since which time it has grown
in popularity each season, and is now catalogued by nearly every
seedsman in America, It is probably more largely planted now,
both in the Northern and Southern States, than any other field

| corn known. This and the 100-Day Bristol Corn, also first in-

troduced by us in 1895, are by far the earliest and best large-eared
Early Yellow Dent Corns in cultivation. The ears are large and
handsome, asshownin our photograph alongside, with good, deep

| grain, of deep orange color and small red cob. Stalks grow to
| medium size (not large), with few suckers, slender and leafy, mak-

ing most excellent fodder, producing two good ears to each stalk ;
husks and shells easily. It ripens in 90 to 100 days and never fails
to make a good crop even in dry seasons, by reason of its earliness
in maturing and strong, vigorous growth. One hundred and thirty-
six bushels shelled corn have been grown to the acre on good corn
ground. It isalso adapted to a greater variety of soils than other
varieties, producing unusually well on light or heavy land, where
other varieties would not thrive. For several years past our sales
of this one variety have averaged more than two thousand bushels
annually, much of it going to the extreme Northern States and
Canada, where it has also become very popular for fodder and
ensilage purposes. Prices by mail, postpaid: pkt., 10c.; lb., 25c.;
3 lbs., 65c.; by freight or express, bags included, qt., 15c.; peck,
60c.; bush., $1.60 ; sack of 2 bush., $3.00 ; 10 bush. and over, $1.40

Austin’s Colossal Yellow Dent

AN ENTIRELY NEW AND REMARKABLE FIELD CORN. A perfect
wonder in large size of ears, uniformly over a foot in length

The Highest Average Yielder

This new corn excited the admiration
and wonder of thousands of farmers who
visited the Agricultural Building at the
Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo,
in 1901. Of the hundreds of varie-
ties there exhibited, from almost every
State in the Union, it carried off the
honors, and we feel justly proud in being
the first seedsmen to procure the seed
from its experienced originator, Mr. H.
W. Austin, and offered it for sale to our
customers two years ago. The yield
on the farm of the originator the past
season was at the rate of 120 bushels
to the acre, and in the most unfavorable
seasons it has never given less than 100
bushels to the acre of its magnificent
ears, borne 2 toastalk, ripening in 110
to 120 days from planting ; grain deep,
rica yellow, very heavy, and will sell for
the highest prices on any market in the
land ; stalks medium, not too large, and
produce enormously on both light and
heavy land. Prices for 1904: lb., 40c.;
3 lbs. $1.00, by mail, postpaid; by
freight or express, sacks included, peck,
80c.; bush., $2.50; bag of 2 bush. for $4.50.
On ear, 25 ears for $2.00; 50 ears for
$3.00 ; 100 ears for $5.00.

WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY OF IT

We have received hundreds of just
such letters as those published below
from those who planted it.

|| 86 BUSHELS FROM 4 PECK

| FLercHER M. McKenney, Perrysville, Pa.,
Nov. 2, 1903, writes: ‘‘I cannot help writing you
about the Austin’s Colossal Yellow Dent Corn.
We have just finished husking and have 86 bush-
els from the half peck sown.”

SURELY A WORLD BEATER
GrEcrGe MummeErt, Goshen, Ind., Sept. 16,
1903, writes; “Austin’s Colossal Yellow Dent
Corn from your seed is surely a world beater.
The ears are from 13 to 16 inches long and filled
to the tips.”’
500 BUSHELS ON 4 ACRES
J. M. ToLaney, Little Falls, W. Va., Sept. 30,
writes: ‘‘ Your new Austin’s Dent Corn is the
largest and best corn I ever saw. Many ears
measure over 15 inches in length. I have four
acres that will surely make 500 bushels.”’
AN EAR 19 INCHES LONG
Joun O. Foouuierr, Cincinnati, O., Oct. 12,
writes: “‘All who have seen my crop of Austin’s
Colossal Corn are astonished and loud in: its
praise. I shallsend you a photo of an ear that
is19 inches long, It is a most wonderful corn.”

JOHNSON & STOKES’ NEW GIANT BEAUTY CORN

In the new Giant Beauty we have a very valuable and long-sought-for variety, viz.: A very large ear
and grain, yet a very early Yellow Dent Corn. Giant Beauty is a cross between Cloud’s Early Dent
and Golden Beauty, possessing the earliness and deep grain of the former, with the handsome, deep
yellow color and breadth of grain of the latter. It is absolutely the largest grained of all yellow
corn. Itssmall red cob and great depth of grain are well shown in our photograph above, made
from average ears. Its rich, deep golden color and fine quality of grain make it very superior for
grinding into meal, and indicate its strong, nutritive qualities. It is a very vigorous grower, taking
strong hold in the ground and averaging eight feet in height, producing two large ears, well filled to the
extreme ends of the cob. The most perfect type of Yellow Field Corn ever introduced. Pkt., 10c.;
ear, 25c.; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c., postpaid, by mail; by express or freight, sacks included, peck, 75¢.;

THE 100-DAY BRISTOL FIELD COKN

When we first saw this corn growing in the field, with its enormous stalks and fodder, twice the
height of an ordinary sized man, and its magnificent ears, averaging nearly a foot in length, as shown in
Bim ot below, we were inclined to doubt its earliness. But after growing it ourselves and on the

rms of hundreds of our customers, the past four seasons, we have found it cut and shocked

mead for husking in ninety-five to one hundred days from the time the seed was planted. The grain is
a light yellow; the cob is small considering the size of the ear. It will produce as much fodder and
more corn than the famous Chester County Mammoth and other late varieties, which require three te
four weeks longer to ripen. In fact, it is a perfect field corn in all respects. Prices: Pkt., 10c.; ar,

Speltz, or Emmer (Triticum Speita)

This grain has been grown for centuries in Russia, near

an emigrant, and has already attracted very wide attention
on account of its successful cultivation in the Northwestern
States. The grain is intermediate between wheat and barley,
and is readily eaten by all kinds of stock. It is adapted for
milling, as well as for feeaing, making a grade of flour similar
to rye. The straw resembles wheat straw. It grows large
crops—40 to 80 bushels per acre—on poor lands, stony ground
and open prairies, and will give double the crop of oats or
barley. It resists drought successfully, and is adapted to
droughty sections and Northern latitudes. Drill at rate of

Golden leece Oats

First Introduced by Us in 1901

Three years ago we secured from the originator
in Genesee County, New York, his entire crop of
seed of this valuable new oats and offered it for
sale for the first time. Hundreds of customers
have written us about its merits, and we regret we
have not room to publish more of the hundreds of
letters received from them. It is, without doubt,
the heaviest cropping and handsomest oats ever
introduced. One of the largest and most experi-
enced oat growers in Chester County, Pa., says:
“Tis wonderful productiveness is far beyond what the most enthusiastic farmers in this section ever expected to
realize.’’ The field photograph herewith represents our crop while being harvested, and after thresh-
ing and cleaning for seed the yield was 108 bushels per acre of large, plump, handsome, meaty, white
grain, weighing 44 lbs. to the bushel. The yield of other varieties on neighboring farms was from 35
to 50 bushels per acre, or less than one-half that of the GOLDEN FLEECE. This can be partly
attributed to the fact that in many cases the spikes or breast will contain three full kernels where
other oats give but two. The straw is very strong and does not lodge even when others with less
weight of grain in the head go down. The blade is nearly double the size of that of ordinary oats,
which is the best evidence of its inherent vigor. This new oats is remarkable for its heavy stooling
property, and for this reason 6 pecks (14 bushels) is sufficient to seed an acre. Prices: Lb., 35c.; 3 lbs.
for $1.00, by mail, postage paid. By freight or express: Per peck, 65c.; per legal bush. (of 32 lbs.),
$1.75; sack of 3 legal bush. (96 lbs.) for $5.00; 10 bush. and over, $1.50 per bush., sacks included.

What Others Write of Golden Fleece Oats

SECTION OF OUR FIELD OF GOLDEN FLEECE OATS.

Never Saw Anything Like Them
C. E. BRADLEY, Patten, Mo., November 6, 1903, writes:
“T never saw anything like the Golden Fleece. I counted
17 different shoots with full heads of grain from one seed
sown, and 4 bushels sown harvested over 200 bushels.’

20 Bushels More per Acre
D. L. McCown, Mount Air, Pa., October 24, writes:
“Your new Golden Fleece Oats have yielded 20 bushels
more per acre than the common White Oats sowed beside

them.”’
47 Bushels from 20 Quarts
ARTHUR C. VAN Horn, Groton, N. Y., August 17,
writes: ‘‘I planted last spring 20 quarts of the Golden Fleece,
which yielded me 47 bushels of plump, heavy grain of very
finest quality.”

They Meet with Ready Sale
Cuas. C. Horton, East Troy, Pa., September 20, writes:
“Your Golden Fleece Oats are the finest. I could have sold
at high prices 200 bushels to those who saw them grow, but
I had none to spare.”’

Over 150 Bushels from 3 Bushels —
F. B. Roruruss, Blissfield, Mich., September 18, writes:
““From the 3 bushels of Golden Fleece Oats sown I threshed
over 150 bushels; they are of the finest ever seen here.’’

Best in 30 Years’ Experience
O. W. Wison, Spencer, Mass., October 14, 1903, writes:
“Golden Fleece produced the best crop of oats that I have
ever raised in 30 years’ experience or have ever seen in this.

THE FARMER IS THE REAL CAPITALIST—A BRIGHT OUTLOOK

The farmer is the real capitalist and aristocrat.

He has brought out of the earth this year enough to buy a large

majority of the big corporations of the country. The corn crop would buy, at present quotations (December 15, 1903), all the
stocks and bonds of the United States Steel Corporation, and have 200 millions left over with which to buy. the independent
companies. The hay crop is worth 560 million dollars, or more than the present market value of a controlling interest in all
the stock of the Pennsylvania, New York Central, Eris, Baltimore & Ohio, Atchison and Union Pacific Railroad Companies.
combined, and is likewise worth as much as the net earnings of all the railways of the United States in 1902. It is estimated
that the aggregate value of our crops in 1903 is close to 5,000 million dollars, which would buy at par the total eapital stocks of
80 per cent. of all the railroads of the country. Now, with such a tremendous accretion of real national wealth, and the
prosperity which it indicates to the great agricultural and the transportation industries, how can one be a ‘‘ bear”? upon

the country or anticipate commercial disaster?

While some of the so-called great financiers of the large cities have been facing bad times for the past year, the
farmers with their fields in the East, their prairies in the great West and their cotton plantations in the South, are filled with
invigorating cheerfulness and can see only clear skies ahead. Thank God that we live in the greatest and most resourceful

country of the globe !

VELVET BEAN (The Great Nitrogen Gatherer)

A Worthy Rival of the Cow Pea

This new and important forage plant from India is cre-
ating a great sensation throughout the Middle and Southern
States, where it is supplanting the cow pea for cattle food
and as asoil renovator. Since ourintroduction of it four years
since, it has been grown in many of the far Northern States
with great success and is worthy of a trial everywhere. Its
nitrogen-gathering properties are said to surpass those of the
cow pea. It is the rankest grower of any of the legumes;
two or three seeds planted four feet apart in rows five feet
apart will literally cover the ground two to three feet thick
with a mass of foliage and vines 20 to 25 feet long, no matter
how poor the soil. It leayesa mulch on the ground that is
very beneficial to the soil.

Dr. Stubbs, Director of the Southern State Experiment Sta-
tion, says: ‘‘I believe that it can be cut advantageously
almost any time from June to October, and cured in less time
than cow pea hay, because the stems are smaller. It makes
an excellent hay and stock eat it well. A heavy nitrogen
gatherer, and the tubercles on its roots are the largest of any
plane I have observed; corn-like clusters of tubercles have

een collected, that make a mass, from one single growth,
almost as large asa common hen’s egg. The vines of this
pent are now about 30 feet in length, from seeds planted in
fay.’ The cultivation is the same as for cow peas. Prices;
ra 10c.; lb., 25¢.; 3 lbs. for 60c., by mail, postpaid ; by
Teight, qt., 20c.; peck, 90c.; bush. of 60 lbs., $3.50.

SOJA BEAN—Late Variety

The demand for the SOJA or JAPANESE SOY
BEANS has grown remarkably of late years. Their great
value is as a forage crop and for fertilizing thesoil and for pas-
turing or feeding the green fodder much in the same way as
the cow pea. This late variety is very valuable south of the
Potomac and Ohio Rivers. Sow broadcast one-half bushel to
the acre, or it may be planted in drills three feet apart and
one foot between plants. Pkt., 10c.; 1b., 25c.; 3 Ibs., 60c.,
postpaid ; by freight or express, qt., 20c.; peck, 60c.; bush.,
$2.00; 5 bush. and over, $1.75 per bush.

SOJA BEAN—New Early Variety

The ordinary or late soja bean, described above, while
valuable south of the Potomac and Ohio Rivers, is. too late to
be of valuein the far Northern States. This variety ripensin
all the Northern States, where it has been grown over four
feet in height, heavily podded with seed and yielded over
ten tons peracre. Itis @ valuable fodder variety either for
feeding green or for the silo. Being a rich nitrogenous feed,
it is unsurpassed as a flesh-former, and, like the clovers, is a
soil-improver, deriving its nitrogen from the air. All who
are interested in this class of plants should give our New
Early Soja or Soy Bean a trial. Choice seed grown for us in
Michigan. Lb., 25c.; 3 lbs., 60c., by mail, postage paid; by
express or freight, qt., 25c.; peck, $1.00 ; bushel of 60 Ibs., $3.75.

CANADA FIELD PEAS AND OATS FOR FODDER

For Dairy Cows and Hogs, Equal to Corn, and Six
Weeks Enrlier.

These make a fodder and hay which in every case
doubles the production of milk. The Canada Field Pea,
‘which we sell at $1.75 per bushel, is the best for this purpose.
They should be sown in March or early April, two bushels
of peas and two bushels of oats to theacre. The peas should
be sown first and plowed under about four inches deep; the
oats then sown and harrowed in. They will be ready for
cutting about the latter end of June, when the oats are in
milk and the pods formed on the peas. Farmers who have
never sown this crop will be surprised at its large yield. It is
@ nutritious food and relished by all kinds of farm animals.
This crop also makes an excellent soil-improver when turned
under like cow peasas described above. Since we first called
attention to the great value of Canada Field Peas for this
purpose, some years ago, the demand has become so great
that we are now haying them grown by the carload in
Canada and can always quote LOW PRICES BY LETTER
when wanted in lots of 10 bushels and wpwards.

PEAS For Fodder and Plowing Under

‘Peas could be made to bring more nitrogen to
the soils of this country every year than is now pur-
chased annually by the farmers at a cost of millions
of dollars.”—U. S. Department of Agricuiture.

FIELD OF SOUTHERN BLACK OR RAM’S HORN COW PEAS IN THE
NORTH. SOWN JUNE 16th, PLOWED UNDER aUGUST 31st.

COW PEAS (The Great Soil Improver)

Make Poor Land Rich. Make Good Land More Pro-
ductive. Enriching the Soil Even When
the Crop is Cut Off,

Green crops plowed under are one of the best and cheap-
est ways of improving the soil. For this purpose the cow
pea is most popular, especially for medium or light soil.
They should be sown in May or June, at the rate of 144
bushels to the acre, and plowed under as soon as they have
attained their full growth. While this crop is very largely
grown wherever known, with the results attained from it the
wonder is, that it is not grown ten times as much as at.
present. There is no surer or cheaper means of improving
poor soil than by sowing cow peas. In its capacily as a
nitrogen gatherer its growth largely enables the farmer to
dispense with the use of nitrogen or ammoniated fertilizers.
Nitrogen or ammonia in commercial fertilizers is valued at
fifteen cents per pound. The cow pea, to a greater extent
than any other leguminous crop, with possibly the exception
of the New Velvet Bean, described alongside, has the
power to extract this costly nitrogen or ammonia from the
atmosphere.

COW PEAS FOR HAY

If planted early, say by middle of May,in the central
corn belt section, a crop can be cut and cured for hay the
same as clover, then the stubble in a short time will put out
a new growth to be turned under in the fall as a fertilizer.

The best varieties for all purposes are the following:

PLANT OF SAND OR WINTER VETCH—NOTE THE GREAT NUM- |
BER OF SMALL TUBERKCLES ON ROOTS.

SAND, or WINTER VETCH (Vicia Villosa)

Vicia Villosa succeeds and produces good crops on poor
sandy soils as well as on good land; grows toa height of four
to five feet. It is perfectly hardy throughout the United
States, remaining green all winter, and should be sownin
the spring, mixed with oats, spring rye or barley; or during
August and September with winter rye, which serves as a
support for the plants. It is the earliest crop for cutting,
being hardier and nearly a month earlier than Scarlet
Clover, and a full crop can be taken off the land in time for
planting spring crops. Every dairyman and stock-breeder
in the United States should havea field of it, and if you try
it once you will never bea season without it. Itis exceed-
ingly nutritious, eaten with relish, and may be fed with
safety to all kinds of stock. Sow 50 to 60 lbs. per acre with
one-half bushel of rye, oats or barley. Lb., 35c.; 3 1bs., $1.00,

postpaid; lb., 25c.; 10 Ibs., $2.00; bush. of 60 1bs., $7.00; 100 | |’

SPRING VETCHES, or TARES

A species of very small pea, grown extensively in Eng-
land and Canada for stock feeding. The seed is also largely
used for pigeon feed. Culture same as for field peas. Lb.,
25¢c., postpaid; qt., 20c.; peck, $1.00; bush., $3.50, by freight.

KAFFIR CORN—The Great Forage Plant

Will make a fine crop of forage if cut in early bloom,
and the shoots that then follow will mature a full crop of
seed and forage. Both grain and fodder are excellent, the
whole stalk tender to the full maturity of seed. There is no
failure about it, as it possesses the quality that all the tribe
possess, of waiting for rain without any loss of capacity to
yield. The grain is extremely valuable for feeding to
poultry and will make a flour that is like wheat. Cultivated
the same as our common Indian corn, requiring four to five
pounds of seed per acre. By mail, pkt., 10c.; lb., 25e.; 3 Ibs.,

DWARF ESSEX RAPE—EIGHT WEEKS FROM SOWING.

TRUE DWARF ESSEX RAPE

Dwarf Essex Rape, of the True Biennial Variety,
is now largely grown in this country on account ofits rapid
growth, being ready to feed in eight to ten weeks from sow-
ing, and producing twenty-five to thirty tons of green forage
to the acre. It grows to a height of three feet and covers the
surface so densely as to smother out all weeds. It can be
sown all through the season, being perfectly hardy, with-
stands drought, and will produce a cropin any soil by sow-
ing broadcast at the rate of five to ten pounds to the acre,
While unequaled as a pasture for sheep, as a food for all
cattle, calves or pigs, it is without a rival, its fattening
properties being twice as great as clover, making a much
relished and most succulent food from May to December.
Lb., 25c.; 8lbs., 60c., by mail, postpaid; by express or
freight, lb., 15c.; 10 ]bs., $1.00; 25 lbs., $2.00; bush. of 50 Ibs.

letter for larger lots.

EARLY AMBER SUGAR CANE

The high value of Northern grown
sugar cane for fodder and ensilage is
becoming rapidly known. It may be
made to furnish the principal food for
eattle, horses and mules from August
until the following spring. When fed
down young as a pasture it grows
Tapidly again. It also withstands
severe drought with the best of this
class of plants. As afodderand for win-
ter feed it is one of the most economical.

The Early Amber is the best for
fodder as well as for sugar, as it ma-
tures quickly, and has been cultivated
as far North as St. Paul, Minn. The
seed is valuable also as food for horses
and cattle, and jis greedily eaten by
poultry, increasing the egg-production.

THE BEST BROOM CORN IN CULTIVATION

The high prices which have prevailed the past three
years for broom corn brush indicate that the demand has
overtaken the supply, and farmers, where possible, should
add it to their crops. The most important question is the
securing the best variety and good seed. Weber’s Improved
Evergreen is the best and purest in cultivation, originated
and selected by Mr. Geo. Weber, one of the largest growers
of Montgomery County, Pa., who has for many years had
the reputation of having the best in the State, having made
his stock famous by selection and improvement for length,
strength and straightness of brush. It is of a very bright
green color without the slightest reddish tinge. It makes
by far the best brooms of any corn grown and commands
the very highest prices. Oustomers who have grown this
corn report yields of over 1,000 lbs. of brush to the acre.
Height, 7 to 8 feet. Lhb., 35c.; 3 lbs., 75c., postpaid; qt., 25ce.;
peck, 90c.; bush., $8.00; sack of 2 bush. for $5.50.

Evergreen Broom Corn

The old standard variety largely grown in many sections
of the West, but is not equal to oras salable as the brush of
the Weber’s Improved. Qt., 20c.; peck, 75c.; bush., $2.50.

Wild Rice (Zizania Aquatica)

A native plant, furnishing food for wild fowl, ducks,
geese, etc., also valuable as a forage plant for swamps and
inundated lands, as it grows rapidly, and all stock are fond
of it when green or cured for fodder. It attracts all wild
birds from September on, and also purifies the water and
affords a refuge for the small fry from the large fish. To
sow :—‘‘ Put the seed in coarse linen or cotton bags, and sink
in water for 24 hours. Sow in water which is from 6 inches
to 5 feet deep, in soft mud bottom, and in places where there
are but few weeds. It is useless sowing this seed except on
a mud bottom, or on low marshy places which are covered
with water the year round. In running water sow as much
out of the current as possible.” Lb., 35c.; 3 lbs., $1.00, post-
paid; by express, Ib., 25c.; 10 lbs. and over, 20e. per lb.

Jerusalem Artichoke Roots

This variety is not produced from seed. They are some-
times used as a table vegetable when pickled, but their
greatest value is for feeding stock. They are the best hog
food known. They are remarkable for their fattening ~rop-
erties, great productiveness (over one thousand bushels hav-
ing been grown on one acre) and ease with which ‘hey can
be grown. They need not be dug; the hogs should be
turned in on them, and will help themselves by rooting.
One acre will keep from twenty to thirty hogs in fine condi-
tion from October until April, except when the ground is
frozen too hard for them to root. Thev are also said to bea
preventive of cholera and other hog diseases, and they are
also highly recommended for milch cows, increasing the
yield of milk and at the same time improving their condi-
tion. Three bushels will seed an acre. They should be cut
the same as potatoes, one eye to a cut being sufficient,
planted in April or May, in rows three feet apart and two
feet in the rows, and covered about two inches deep. They
can be shipped at any time during the season, as they are
not injured by freezing. Lb., 35c¢.; 3 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. By
freight or express, peck, $1.00; bush., $3.00; bbl. of 3 bush.
(enough for one acre), $7.50.

Chuias, or Earth Almond

(Cyperus Esculentus. )

A species of ‘‘grass nut’’ used to fatten hogs. They
should not be confounded with the cocoa, or nut grass, for
though it belongs to the same class, the Chufa is eradicated
with great ease, and is nevera pest. The nuts grow under
ground, very near the surface, easily reached by pigs or
poultry. Plant in April, ten to twelve inches apart in three-
foot rows. Cover lightly. If the seed is very dry, soak well
before planting, to secure a good stand. They mature early
in September, and lie in the ground till wanted. One peck
of seed to the acre. Pkt., 10c.; pint, 25¢.; qt., 40c., postpaid.
By express, qt., 25c.; peck, $1.25; bush. $4.50.

Long White Cow Horn Turnip
THE MOST POPULAR AND BEST FOR STOCKMEN

Has rapidly grown in favor for agricultural purposes. It
is a fine keeper, heavy cropper; color pure white, except 4
little shade of green at the top, and is carrot-like in form
growing nearly half out of the ground, and generally
slightly crooked. It is delicate and well flavored, of rapi¢
growth and very nutritious. Pkt.,5¢.; oz., 10c.; 44 1b., 20c.

The best variety for the farmer. Growing to double th-,
size of the common, and the yield of seed is twice as greax,
One hundred and twenty-five bushels to the acre have been
grown at a less expense than corn. It is highly recom-
mended for poultry; the best egg-producing food known;
the leaves make splendid fodder, much relished by all kinds
of stock. The seed is good feed for horses, and yields a fine

ares eed ae

lant from Russia, which

as given excellent re-
sults in the United States
and is rapidly becoming
the most popular of all
the millets. It is ex-
tremely hardy, with-
stands drought wonder-
fully, and is about two
weeks earlier than Ger-
man Millet, growing
four to five feetin height,
much ranker, producing
more leaves than either
the Hungarian or Ger-
man Millet. Itsstooling
properties are remark-
able, as high as forty-one
stalks having been
grown from one seed.
The leaves start close to
the ground and continue
nearly to the top of the
stem, are wide and ten-
der, making it preferable
to all other millets for
hay. Yield of hay is one-
third to one-half more
per acre than Hungarian
and German; _ besides,
the hay is softer when
cured, greener in color
and preferred by all
stock, being very nutri-
tious and _ fattening.

SIBERIAN MILLET.

For several years we have been experimenting with all
the known forage plants and haye found nothing superior to
Pearl Millet either in enormous growth or quality. It hag
produced the most abundantly and can be cut several times
during the season. The United States Agricultural Depart-
ment has also made numerous experiments and with about
the same results as those at Floracroft. If you grow green
forage, try East Indian or Pear] Millet, and you will find there
is nothing better. Drill in 2 feet rows, 10 lbs. to the acre. By

enormous yield of nutritious feed, succeeding in almost any
soil. Sowin May or June, one bushel to the acre. Price
varies with the market. Qt., 10c.; bush., about 50 lbs., $1.75.

HUNGARIAN BROME-GRASS (Bromus Inermis)-
This great drought-defying, frost-resisting grass is now at-
tracting much attention in the United States. It yields enor-
mous crops of splendid hay, and affords rich, abundant
pasturage. Bromus Inermis has been known in Europe for
over one hundred and thirty years. It is grown extensively
in Hungary and is commonly known as Hungarian, or
Smooth Brome-grass, It endures extremes of temperature
and resists protracted drought. It grows best in light, sandy
loam, but its roots will penetrate the stiffest clays. It is
equally good for cutting green, pasturing or cutting into hay.
It can be sown alone and also does well sown with clover and
timothy. Use 20 pounds to the acre if alone; if with
clover, 15 pounds, It may be sown in the fall with winter
wheat, or in the spring,

way we become, by personal positive knowledge, acquainted with all the best that is offered both in this
country and abroad. Of many of the finer sorts, we grow our full stock of seed on our own ground, thus
being enabled to know that the;type is kept pure and true.

STOKESIA CYANEA

(The Cornflower or Stokes’ Aster)

No. 2655. This is one of our most charming
and beautiful native hardy plants. The plant
grows from 18 to 24 inches high, bearing freely,
from early July until frost, its handsome laven-
der-blue Centaurea-like blossoms each measur-
ing from 4 to 5 inches across. It is one of the
easiest culture, succeeding in any open sunny
position, and is not only ‘desirable as a single
plant in the mixed hardy border, but can be
used with fine effect in masses or beds of any
size. Like many other native plants which are
neglected at home, this is grown in consider-
able quantities in Europe to supply the demand
for blue cut flowers in the Autumn.

We have no hesitation in saying that
Stokesia is one of the most valuable and desir-
able hardy plants offered. Seed : per pkt., 15c.;

Giant Shasta Daisy

No. 1025. The Shasta Daisy is one of the most marvelous
productions in the flower line that has ever been brought to
the notice of floriculturists. It is the first of a new type,
which has been obtained by first combining the free-flower-
ing American species with the large but coarse European
species and the Japanese species, Nipponicum, after which
rigid selection through a series of years has produced the
present wonderfully beautiful and useful strain. Its first
qualification is hardiness; it can be grown out of doors by
anybody, where it is not cold enough to kill oak trees. It
is perennial, blooming better and more abundantly each
season. It can be multiplied rapidly by simple division, and
it is not particular as to soil, and it blooms for several
months. The flowers are extremely large and graceful,

averaging about 4 to 5inches in diameter. Packet, 15c.

continuously from June to October with a matchless display
of color and variety of markings. Pkt., 10c.

TRITOMA PFITZERII.

TRITOMA PFITZERIU

This new variety is a marvelous improvement over the
ola well-known ‘‘Red Hot Poker” plant. It is a very free
blooming sort, flowering continuously
throughout the season. The flowers are
large spikes of brilliant flame color, with
long stalks gracefully poised above the
rich green foliage. A bed of this in bloom
is @ grand sight; a border of it around
Cannas is admirable; scattered through
the flower garden it adds grace and bright-
ness and is in its glory when nearly all other
flowers are seared with early frosts. The
rootsshould be dug up before hard frost and
kept in sand in the cellar during the winter.
(See cut.) Price, 20c. each; $2.00 per dozen.

iolus Cruentus and a selected Childsii seed-

circular flowers, opening flat and perfect, 5
to7 inches across. Color true Salvia scar-
let with cream-white feathering on lower

and opens perfectly to the last bud in water.
Has received Award of Merit, Royal Horti-
cultural Society,
Price per bulb, 25c. each; $2.50 per dozen.

NEW STAR PETUNIAS

No. 2344. In form, intensity of color and markings, this
new strain of Petunias is something wonderful. From the
centre of each flower start the points of a five-rayed star,
which broadens half-way up, narrowing to a point at the
margin of the flower.

Their ground color is a dark crimson maroon, with a rich
velvety texture, justly pronounced equal to that of the pansy.
Showing through the ground color are violet veinings.

This star is a very light bluish pink, some almost white,
which deepens in color as it reaches the margin and finally
blends with the maroon ground color. Over 80 per cent. of
the plants from seed will produce the star markings. Others
with veined and feathery markings on dark or light ground
are not less surprisingly beautiful. 2

The plants are free growers, branching freely and attain-
ing an average height of 18 inches by 24 inches in diameter.

They are remarkably prolific bloomers, single plants
often having one hundred or more fully expanded flowers at
atime. Per pkt., 15c.; 2 pkts., 25c.

THE WILD-FLOWER GARDEN

No. 2960. Our Wild Flower Mixture consists of many
varieties of beautiful, easy-growing flowers, producing a con-
stant and varied bloom the whole season, for sowing in
shrubbery, under trees and in beds on which no care will

wildness is preferred to order and precision. The mixture
comprises mignonette, candytuft, larkspurs, marigolds, por.
pies, foxgloves, and many other garden favorites, whic
will flower successively and yield an abundance of bloom.

NEW ASTER “WHITE LADIE”

330. Thisexquisite new Aster, of which wecontrol the en-

the next season was an entire failure, and we are yery glad
to be able to again place it before our customers, knowing
that all who try 1t will be charmed with its exquisite blooms.
Itis quite dwarf, thus making it suitable for decorative uses
of all kinds, also for bedding. The needle character of the

| aster is of modern date, and is one of new type, which is
| attracting much attention, the long, graceful, tubular petals

| giving ita very distinct and attractive feature.

Its pure
white form makes it exceedingly useful as a cut flower and
for use in designing; it remains fresh a long time after cut-
ting, and this, with its long stems and beautiful form and
dwarf habit, makes it one of the most valuable asters ever

| offered; it will prove a very useful and popular novelty.

hardyannuals. Select a sunny, open place, several feet from
any building, or close fence, and as far as possible from large
trees. Sow as early in the spring as possible. Do not wait for
fair weather. Plant in double rows 6 inches apart and 4
mches deep, dropping the seed 3 inches apart. Furnish sup-
port early. In dry weather water freely and keep the flow-
ers picked closely. If you allow them to produce seed pods
the plants will soon stop flowering.

GOLDEN

OOM PAUL

The new strawberry, OOM PAUL, is a wondcr. Stupen;
dous in size and delicious in flavor, nice shape, elegant color,
shipping the
best. The plant
is a very rank
grower. An-
other strong
point in favor
of OOM PAUL
is that the last
picking never f
runs small. @
Very prolific; in
shape inclined:
to Jessie. The
berries are
giants. Single
plants yield a
full quart. A
record - breaker
—six berries
filled a quart
box, for which
$10.00 was paid
at our Field
Meeting, June
15, 1901. One
hundred and
forty quarts were picked from two hundred and eighty OOM
PAUL plants at one single picking. Price, postpaid, 50c. per
dozen; by express, $1.25 per 100; $8.00 per 1,0U0.

OOM PAUL, BIGGEST OF ALL,

NEW CHELLIE STRAWBERRY

This berry originated in Camden County, N. J. The
plant has a perfect blossom, is a strong grower, free runner,
clear of rust, very productive, and a sure bearer, the fruit
ripening midseason to late. The large, symmetrically shaped
berry, with a fresh green calyx, is a bright, glossy red; color-
ing all over, and having no green point, it presents a strik-
ingly attractive appearance throughout the season. It is of
firm texture and superior flayor, resembling that of the wild
strawberry. Price by mail, postpaid, 40c. per dozen. By
express, $1.00 per 100; $7.00 per 1,000.

THE MAXIMUS

we find to be one of the largest and most beautiful
of all Strawberries. Perfect bloomer; plant strong and
robust. Produces two and four fruit stalks to a plant, all of
them well filled with large to very large berries. Berries
conical, deep glossy scarlet; flesh pink, sometimes white at
the centre, very tender, of mild flavor.

GLEN MARY. Very vigorous, perfect blooming plant
of Brandywine and Isabel type. Enormously productive of
large to very large, bright, deep red berries. Yellow seeds
on surface; flesh very firm. Light red clear to the centre;
sweet, rich and high-flavored; a decidedly good berry in
point of plant, yield, great size, fine form, bright
color, firmness and good quality.

BISMARCK. Perfect flowering. A new and vigorous
seealing of Bubach. Plant very vigorous, fruit stalks very
heavy. Broad, dark leaves. Moderately productive, but all
the berries are large to very large. Light scarlet color
and glossy.

MARSHALL. (JMidseason.) The berries are very beau-
tifuland average extraordinarily large—often fourteen will
filla quart measure. As a berry for home use it is peerless.
It is the first of the extra large varieties to ripen, and al-
though of great size, the fruit is rarely ever misshapen. The
color is a rich glossy crimson that every one admires.

BRANDYWINE. (Midseason to very late.) Brandywine
is already world-famous; in fact, we doubt if any strawberry
ever before has received such enthusiastic praise over so wide
an extent of territory. The berries are of large size, glossy
scarlet, very firm, solid and shapely, of delightful aroma,
rich, juicy and luscious, and wonderfully productive,

«THE GANDY.” (Late.) One of the best late straw-

berries ever introduced. Strictly fancy. The fruits are uni- —

formly large, perfect in form and firm; color, bright crimson
and as glossy as if varnished. Quality superb; delightful
aroma, suggestive of both strawberries and peaches.
BUBACH, No. 5 (P). (Midseason.) A prominent
strawberry grower says: ‘If ali varieties were culled out but
ten, he would place Bubach, No. 5, at the head of the list on

account of its large, bright berries, immense yield and fine~

flavor.’’

INSLEGTIGIDES. Spray Your Fruit Trees

The annual loss to farmers in this country from fungus diseases and insects has been closely esti-
mated at $5,000,000. So important have these things become that the United States Department of
Agriculture, at Washington, has two of its most important divisions investigating them. One is called
Vegetable Pathology, under Professor Galloway; this pertains to Plant Diseases, such as blight, rots,
mildew, ete. ‘The other is called Entomology, under Professor Riley, which pertains to Imsects—both
divisions carrying on investigation as to the cause and effects, and making experiments and recom-
mendations for the benefit of farmers, gardeners, horticulturists and florists.

We have a full line of both insecticides and implements for applying them. (Send for our “Spray-

PLANT BED CLOTH

A SUBSTITUTE FOR GLASS SASH ON HOT BEDS
AND COLD FRAMES AND THE LIGHT GRADE
FOR SHADING GREENHOUSES

mom

This will be found an excellent substitute for glass (at
one-tenth the cost) in protecting all kinds of seeds and
plants on which glass sashes are used in early spring. It is
safer in fact than glass, as it protects at night, while the tem-
perature is not raised too high during the day—as is the case
with glass sashes unless great care is given in ventilating—
and being light and portable, it ean be sent into sections
where it would be difficult to get sash. LIGHT GRADE,
mostly used in the South for tobacco beds and in the North
for shading greenhouses, per yard, 4%c.; by the piece of 68
yards, 344c. per yard. MEDIUM GRADE, the best for gen-
eral purposes, per yard, 8c.; by the piece of 60 yards, 7c. per
yard. HEAVY GRADE, water-proof and advised for States
north of Pennsylvania, per yard, 10%c.; by the piece of 40
yards, 10e. per yard. One yard wide. Samples mailed on

application.

NAPCREOL
‘FLUID DisiNFECTANT

NON-PoisoNoUS) _

NAPCREO
A Fluid Disinfectant and Deodorant
(NON-POISONOUS)

Napcreal is unexcelled for disinfecting poultry
houses and runs, stables, dog kennels, toilets, or
any place where a good germ or odor destroyer is
needed. Oue gallon will make roo gallons of dis-
infectant.

for Poultry Diseases. Itisa reliable home rem-
edy for all germ diseases affecting poultry. Its use
prevents disease. It will cure roup, diphtheria,
cholera, chicken-pox, sore eyes, canker, scaly legs,
favus, anddiarrhcea. It will destroy disease germs,
mange, parasites, fleas, mites, lice, ticks, and worms.

Napcreol is a thoroughly reliable preparation,
and is made with as much care as if it were to be
used for human beings. J¢7s ready for immediate
use by simply mixing with fresh water, and is a
safe and sure substitute for poisonous disinfectants.

For Horses and Cattle. Curescuts, galls, mange,
scratches, thrush, cracks, and fissures. Destroys
ticks, mites, and other parasites. It is an ideal
stable disinfectant ; removes odors, prevents flies
from breeding, and purifies and sweetens.

infectant and deodorant. Cures wounds, scratches,
and mange. Kills fleas and ticks.

Napcreol is put up in half-gallon and gallon cans,
with full directions for use on each package.

“SANITAS” DISINFECTING SAWDUST

A clean and effective preparation for use in dwell-
ings, markets, kennels, stables, cattle sheds, poul-
try houses,and runs. It absorbs offensive moisture,
and is very rapid in its action, not only as a de-
odorizer, but also as an air purifier.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: This is a very strong
preparation, and may be diluted with from one to
fifty parts of ordinary sawdust, according to re-
quirements.

Sold in tin cans holding 8 lbs., $1.00; in barrels
of about 60 lbs., at roc. lb. ; in barrels of 100 lbs.,
at gc. lb.

“SANITAS” DISINFECTING POWDER

‘‘Sanitas’’ Disinfecting Powder is fragrant, and
stronger as an antiseptic than carbolic acid or any
other powder in the market, besides which it pos-
sesses also powerful oxidizing properties, thus ex-
hibiting a twofold character not rivaled by any
other product.

1-lb. perforated tin box, 25c. ; 70-lb. box, $4.00; |

150-lb. barrel, $7.50.»

OIL OF TAR
OR STANDARD DISINFECTANT

For Fleas on Dogs, for Chicken Cholera,
for Roup, Canker, Lice, and Gapes

It partakes of the nature
of carbolic acid without hay-
ing its dangerous poisonous
and corrosive properties ; it
is prepared from coal tar, and
retains the carbolic acid of
the tar in a harmless form ;
it mixes with water in any
proportion, forming an emul-
sion, which is handy and
pleasant to use.

Simply mix with water (1
LOW part to 1ooof water), and use
RADE MA § the mixture for washing dogs,
== ==, or for disinfecting your poul-
try house, or stable, or cow
barn, Also a perfect article for sweetening your
water closet, drains, etc., and for ridding your
buildings of ants, roaches, bugs, etc.

Price, qts., 30c.; % gal., 55c.; 1 gal., $1.00; 5-gal.
cans, $4.00; 10-gal. cans, $7.50.

““Sanitas’’ PuRE SULPHUR FUMIGATING CANDLES

WITH WATER JACKET

For the disinfection of infected rooms, hospital
wards, railroad cars, bedding, clothing, and drapery,
after cases of diphtheria, cholera, scarlet fever,
typhoid fever, smallpox, and other infectious dis-
eases, and for the destruction of disease germs and
insect life and vermin in empty rooms, kitchens,
stables, kennels, poultry houses, cellars, etc.

The employment of water in connection with
burning sulphur is an element of safety from fire,
while the vapor produced by its evaporation greatly
increases the germicidal power of the sulphur
fumes ; therefore these candles disinfect more per-
fectly than any other in the market; they also
light more certainly and easily ; they may be ex-
tinguished at pleasure by covering the tin can with
a plate or board.

With water jacket, 25c. each.

BONE CUTTERS
and MILLS

We offer three styles of green
bone cutters. We do not recom-
mend the sizes smaller than the
Mann’s No. 7, the Humphrey
No. 1, or Stearn’s No. 2. All
of these are good. Green cut
bone is a valuable feed for poul-
try in the Winter season. It
stimulates egg production in a
remarkable degree, and is better
than any tonic or stimulant or
drug. It stops egg-eating and
effectually stops feather-pulling.
When your fowls are feather-
pulling it shows they need green
cut bone.

grass, although seat and shafts can be furnished if desired, at
following prices:

ELASTIC, ADHESIVE, EASY TO APPLY
Used now extensively, and highly recommended by all the up-to-
date Gardeners and Florists.
Immense Quantities were used Last Season.

After much study, the in-
ventor of ‘‘Mastica’’ decided
that the composition must be of
different materials from that used
heretofore for this purpose, must
be elastic and tenacious, and
these qualities must be retained
to admit the expansion and con-
traction without cracking. This
result has been reached in
‘*Mastica,’’ which, when ap-
plied, in a few hours forms a
skin or film on the entire mass,

Cyphers Incubators

CYPHERS NON=MOISTURE INCUBATORS
are now used on more large and successful poultry
plants, by more poultry fanciers of national and
eciithe ea uiumke i international reputation, on more Government Ex-
BUF ALO NY,USA ‘| | periment Stations, and by more public industrial
institutions than all other makes of incubators
combined.

THE CYPHERS INCUBATOR contains val-
uable features possessed by no other make,
cannot get out of order, or wear out, are abso-
lutely safe from fire, and are self-regulating to
a fraction of a degree.

You will not have to sit up nights watching the
Cyphers.

The Cyphers Warrant

The Cyphers Patent-Diaphragm, Non-Moisture, Self-Ventilating, and Self-Regulating
Incubators, manufactured and sold under registered trade mark,
are warranted as follows :—

First.—To require no supplied moisture, thus solving and disposing of the trouble-
some ‘‘ moisture question.”’

SECOND.—To be self-ventilating, the air in the egg chamber remaining sweet and
pure.

Tuirp.—To be so constructed that the temperature in the egg chamber is more
uniform and equable than in any other incubator.

FourtTH.—To be self-regulating, being equipped with the most sensitive, accurate,
and durable regulator thus far invented.

FirtuH.—To be precisely as represented in construction, materials, and workmanship,
and, with reasonable care, to last ten years without repairs.

S1xtTH.—To operate with less oil, and at less expense, than any other make of incu-
bator, and to be as free from offensive odors as an ordinary house lamp.

SEVENTH.—To be easy to set up, hence the most satisfactory incubator for the
novice, and to be strictly automatic in operation, except the trimming of the wick, filling
the lamp, and turning the eggs.

EIGHTH. —To be, zz all essentials, the simplest and easiest to operate and control,
requiring less labor and less attention than any other style or make of incubator in the
world.

Cyphers Three-Apartment Brooder
STYLE A

Next to its incubator, the Cyphers Company
prides itself on the three-apartment outdoor brooder
it manufactures. We unhesitatingly pronounce this
to be the best brooding device on the market for ezther
indoor or outdoor use. Briefly, the special merits of
this brooder are :—

First.—It is the largest single-flock, popular-
priced brooder on the market.

SECOND.—It is rain-proof and storm-proof, hayin
a heavy, tin-covered roof.

THIRD.—It is fire-proof, and is heated bya Cy-
phers Safety Brooder Stove instead of a lamp.

FourTH.—The stove is safe and trustworthy.

FrrtH.—The fumes of the stove cannot get into

the chick ber.
ck chamber : THREE-APARTMENT CYPHERS UNEQUALED OUTDOOR
SrxtH.—The brooder stove is easy to get at. BROODER, STYLE A (FRONT VIEW).

SEVENTH.—The round chick guard prevents
crowding and keeps the chicks from coming in con-
tact with the heat dome.

EIGHTH.—When the temperature under the hover is go degrees, the temperature just outside the
hover is 85 degrees, while in the front apartment it will average several degrees lower. The chicks may
therefore suit themselves, going to and from the heat at will.

NINTH.—There are no stairs to climb, and so no danger of little chicks getting lost and chilled

Cyphers Sectional Brooder
The Cyphers Sectional Brooders are made in three sizes, viz.: two sections, three sections, and
four sections. They are well built in every particular, and have six overhead hot-water pipes, three
outgo and three return. Most brooders of this style have only four, which areinsufficient. The Cyphers
also have an upper expansion tank, which renders them perfectly safe to operate, and are equipped
with two large-sized lamps with extra-width burners, thus insuring ample heating power. The space
provided for the brooding of the chicks is enclosed with heavy woolen curtains, is large in size, and
properly ventilated.
For a practical and inexpensive indoor brooding apparatus, the Cyphers Sectional Brooders cannot
be excelled. For example, the four-section brooder, which will brood 400 newly-hatched chicks—1o0o
to each section—costs only $28, whereas enough separate indoor brooders to hold the same number of

chicks would cost $40. There is also a material saving in labor, for with a sectional brooder only two
lamps are used, while with four separate indoor brooders four brooder stoves are necessary.

Union Lock Poultry Fencing

This new fencing for poultry yards will super-
sede the old 2-inch mesh wire fence as soon as its
merits become known. In the wider sizes it is no
more expensive than the regular 2-inch mesh net-
ting, and the fine mesh at the bottom will appeal
to every practical raiser as a great advantage.

The horizontal lines of this fence are all com-
posed of 2 No. 20 galvanized steel wires twisted
together.

Beginning at the bottom, the first 7 cablesare 1%
inches apart, the next three cables are 114 inches
apart, then six cables 2 inches apart, and all above
that 4 inches apart. This givesa mesh of 1% x 3
inches at the bottom, where it is needed for small
chicks, and above two ‘feet, where fowls can only
reach when on the wing, the mesh is 3 x 4 inches.

The pickets are No. 19 galvanized steel wires,
and are three inches apart.

Extra Heavy
Union Lock Poultry Fence

Made of No. 17 galvanized steel wire throughout,
is twice as heavy as our lighter poultry fence, and
is intended for orchards, gardens, etc.

The No. 17 two-wire cable has about the same
strength as a No. 14 wire, and the numerous cables
gives this fence a strength equal to our field and
hog fence, making it an ideal fence for both
poultry and stock. :

The spacing between the cables is the sameas in
the lighter fence described above, but the pickets
are four inches apart. In service this fence is
superior to the No. 14 two-inch netting.

BLoop MBAr, is greatly relished by fowls, and
an increase in the number of eggs is quickly
noticed when it is fed. Poultrymen must feed
more or less meat scraps in winter to make hens
lay; this is generally acknowledged. BLoop MEaL
is merely a meat in a highly concentrated form,
rich in albuminoids and ash, both of which enter
largely into the composition of the egg.

As to the advantages gained by feeding BLoop
MEar, to young chicks, ducks, and turkeys, we can
say that there is positively nothing better for them.
Those raising chicks hatched in incubators tell
us that the loss from weakness, or ‘‘ breaking
down,’’ as they term it, is enormous. If BLooD

rate of one part cf blood to twenty of meal or

CHICK FOODS

For the first day or two little
chicks require but little food; brooder
chicks particularly should not be fed
for 36 to 48 hours after hatching,
as their bowels are not perfectly
formed, and, if overfed, dysentery or
stoppage of the bowels ensues, and
both are fatal. The first food should
be Chick Manna and a little grit.
Feed this for a week or ten days, and
then begin with our ‘‘Vigor’’ Chick
Food, and they will grow and feather
2 ‘like a green bay tree.” For the

SINGING CHICK MANNA’S PRAISES first week feed five times a day;

second week, four times a day; and

after that three times a day will do. Never feed what they will eat without moving out of their tracks ;

you must make them scratch for what they eat, and keep them hungry enough so that they will enjoy
their feed. Give them water only after feeding them.

F. P. Cc. CHICK MANNA
A Health Food for Little Chicks

Chick Manna is a health food for little chicks, and with it you can raise every chick hatched.
It promotes Health, Quick Growth, and Strong Development. Especially valuable for raising
chicks in winter andearlyspring. Chick Manna should be the first food, and exclusively fed for ten days
or more, after which time other food may be given, but should contain a portion of Manna for at least a
few dayslonger. In feeding Chick [anna to chicks that have been fed on other feed, let Chick Manna
be a part only of the feed for the first day. i

CYPHERS CHICK FOOD
A Complete Food for Young Chicks

Cyphers Chick Food is a mixture of eleven (11) different grains
and seeds, proportioned so as to meet all the needs of growing chicks, and
to fully nourish them. By the term ‘‘fully nourished’’ we mean a great
deal. Chick foods, asa rule, contain too much fat-forming, and not enough
bone-forming elements; and, in consequence, the chick develops indiges-
tion and diarrhcea—which ultimately means no digestion at all—and
quickly starves to death. Or, if partially nourished, leg weakness develops,
and the chick drags out a miserable existence for a greater or lesser length
of time. If you feed Cyphers Chick Food, you are relieved of all con-
cern, as the food is a complete and properly-balanced food, ready for use.

In compounding Cyphers Chick Food, the protein, or flesh-and
tmuscle-forming element, is maintained higher, the carbohydrate, or fat-
forming element, is reduced to its proper proportion, and the ash, or min-_ .
eral elements are in sufficient amount to supply the needs of the rapidly- |
growing bird. If chicks are to be developed into breeders, no other food
is required for the first eight weeks.

For the first three or four days spread the food on a board or bare
floor four or five times a day. Assoon as the chick begins to eat rapidly
and scratch for food, scatter it in chaff or cut hay several times each day
in sufficient amount to keep the chicks continually working. It should
not be fed in anyother manner. A dish of fresh water is kept before them
atalltimes. About the fifth week a dish of High Protein Beef Sérap is put before them, and is replen-
ished as fast as eaten. Continue feeding chick food until the eighth or ninth week. The chickens are
then placed in colony houses on grass runs, and given a dish of cracked corn and one of beef scrap.
Before the chickens are let out in the morning, a mash composed of Cyphers Forcing Food is fed. This
is the only food they get through the day, except the cracked corn and beef scrap. A dish of fresh water
is kept before them. On the above ration they make a quick, strong growth and mature early.

For broilers or roasters, the chick food and beef scrap are supplemented by adding Cyphers Forcing
Food to the diet after the third or fourth week.

Put up only in sealed bags, bearing manufacturer’s trade mark.

Price, 50-lb. bag, $1.50; I00-lb. bag, $2.50; 500-lb. lot, $12.00.

all the meat and bone that is required, and anything extra that you give in this line will cause trouble.
Always to be fed dry ; never wet it.

CLOVER PRODUCTS

The value of clover as a portion of the regular diet of fowls can hardly be
overestimated. Its value has long been recognized by poultrymen, as it furnishes
protein, lime, and other material salts in an easily-digested form. Fowls relish it
greatly in either dry or green form. ;

Clover is the best green food for winter use, as there is no waste, as in vegetables,
and it is in a form to be fed with a very small amount of labor.

Feeding clover will insure a large percentage of fertile eggs and strong germs.

It will do much to keep laying fowls and breeding stock in good health and vigor,
adds luster to the plumage, and thus assists in putting choice birds in exhibition

condition.
These clover products are put up in strong 50 and r1oo-lb. sealed bags, bearing
the Cyphers registered trade mark, and labeled to comply with the various State

food laws.

Cyphers Laying Food

Cyphers Laying Food is the result of much study to produce a
balanced ration, and is a highly nutritious and palatable food. It isa blend-
ing of several different food materials in such proportions as to best fur-
nish the elements necessary to fully nourish the body and promote egg
production. It is to be mixed with warm water, and daily—night or
morning—is eaten by the fowls with relish.

A feed of mixed hard grains, such as Cyphers Scratching Food,
should be scattered in litter on the floor of the pen to promote exercise,
and a dish of cracked oyster shells and grit should be kept in the pens.
This food induces the production of eggs, and will nourish and develop
the embryos into strong, robust chicks.

Cyphers Laying Food is the best and only successfully-balanced
ration from which to make the morning mash, whether for chickens,
pullets, hens, cockerels, capons, ducks, turkeys, or geese. It is made from
the best-selected grains, and contains no oat hulls or gluten meal, which ¢<
analysis shows to be the base of three-quarters of the prepared poultry |
foods on the market. The manufacturers of this food make no cereal /
foods, and consequently have no bi-products, as is the case with most \
manufacturers who offer poultry foods. It is especially valuable as a food ©
for breeding ducks.

This food is put up in sealed bags bearing manufacturer’s trade mark.

Price, 50 pounds, $1.15 ; 100 pounds, $2.00.

Cyphers Forcing Food

Where very rapid growth is required, as in growing broilers or roasters, a highly-concentrated food
can be fed, and for this work we offer Cyphers Forcing Food. ‘This should be fed according to the
results desired. That is, ifa broiler is required, the chick should be fed up to the limit, so as to make
the growth in the shortest possible time. Ifa roaster is wanted, it should not be forced so rapidly, as it
has longer to live, its digestive organs have more work to do, and, therefore, they should not be taxed
to the uttermost in the earlier stages. Price, 50 pounds, $1.25 ; 100 pounds, $2.25.

Cyphers Scratching Food

_ In combining grains to be used as an exercise food and to be scattered
in the pens to make the hens work for what they get, it will not do to
make up a random assortment of any available material.

As the Scratching Food is not supposed to be scattered before half-
famished birds that will gladly eat most anything, it must be composed of
material that will be considered with special favor by the hens, something,
in fact, that their system craves. There must be a strong inducement for
a well-fed hen to work for every morsel of this food, and at the same time
it must be composed of such material as will not defeat the purposes of the
balanced foods they get iu their regular ration. In this Scratching Food
_ \ we have exactly filled these requirements. A little of this food scattered
) in the litter will quickly start the dust flying, which means healthy fowls,
_; full of vigor and vitality, and a full egg basket of hatchable eggs.

Put up in sealed bags bearing manufacturer’s trade mark.

HAVENS’ ROUP PILLS

For the Cure of
Roup, Catarrh, Cold and Distemper

It was formerly
the habit of fanciers,
farmers and others,
whenever roup ap-
peared in a flock, to
kill the fowls affected
and remove them im-
mediately, to prevent
the spread of the
disease. The practice
is, happily, no longer
necessary since the
introduction of
Havens’ Roup Pills.
Price, per box, 25c.;
by mail, 28c.; per
doz., by express,
$2.50. Box of 250
pills, $1.

They entirely cured my fowls of Roup.—ABRAM WOLFE,
Lebanon, N. J.

Havens’ Roup Pills are simply wonderful.—C. TRUeEx,
harness dealer, Freehold, N. J. ;

I found them a perfect success in Roup.—PETER H.

roup disease in its variousforms. However,
we recommend the use of the Roup Prepa-
ration in connection with Multum in Parve
when the rattling in the throat is noticed;
also for sore and cankered mouth. Poultry

tions constantly on hand to meet cholera and

Lambert’s ‘‘ Death to Lice’’

In any well-conducted poultry establishment Lice have to be fought
all the time.

Lambert’s preparations for this purpose are standard, reliable goods,
well-known and largely used by the best poultrymen the country over.

For sitting hens it has no equal, keeping them clean, sweet and
‘comfortable, without injury to the hen, eggs, or chickens, should they
hatch in it. No trouble to apply; no detriment to the person handling
it. Also invaluable for liceon HORSES, CATTLE, SWINE, or plants,
\ fleas on DOGS, ticks on SHEEP, moths under carpets or in furs.
Always harmless to animals when used according to directions. It acts
as a disinfectant and purifier, warding off distemper and contagious
diseases. A liberal use of this powder should answer for all ordinary
purposes. It can be mixed with sawdust as a litter for chicken coops
or nest boxes. It can be sprinkled on the dropping boards under the
roosts after cleaning. It can be used on show birds in their pens with
good effect. Laying fowls or large chicks can be dusted at night; they
will be clean in the morning. Sitting hens well dusted twice during
incubation will never leave their nests on account of lice, and it is perfectly safe touse. If
your hens are near your stable, sprinkle the horse-brush before using with Death to Lice, and
ycur horses will be safe.

discount in case lots.

GRIT!

G >
JOHNSON & STOKES, PHILADELPHIA
@) I WS

GRIT!! GRIT!!!

BIRDS NEED GRIT!

It is well known that the feathered tribe have no teeth and that the food is masticated
in the gizzard; but the gizzard itself is a feeble agent, and cannot perform its functions
without the aid of some substance that is hard and sharp. Nature, therefore, prompts
the hens to pick up and swallow gravel, glass, small shells, and other substances; but it
may be noticed that they prefer such as are sharp and irregular.

Round bits of gravel do not serve the purpose, though better than nothing, and the
gizzard is not injured, no matter if the sharpest and keenest glass be swallowed. The
food and hard substances are kept in constant motion while in the gizzard, and the entire
contents are ground into an impalpable powder and passed into the stomach.

Common sense, therefore, teaches us, and all authorities on poultry unite in the
statement, that something of this kind is absolutely essential to the good health and
egg producing qualities of the fowl.

In summer, when the birds have farm range, they can look out for themselves in this
respect; but where they have to be confined, or in winter when everything is frozen up
tight or covered with snow, this necessary grit must be supplied to them freely or they

will languish for its want.

regular use.

Some poultrymen state their value

her his attention. The bees will cluster ahout the
queen, and may then be hived.

the best Five Banded Italians we could secure, bred
in this country, and we cross these directly with
the imported mother, making our queens beautiful
golden to the tip, and her bees the best honey
gatherersin the world. They enter the sections

inches apart, and has the same automatic
device for throwing out of gear.
