To My Friends and Cu-* comers:

The old-establish~“g firm of Johnson & Stokes, having expired by limit-
atiou un vst. * Last, ceased to exist on that date.

In appreciation of their hard work for so many years, which contributed
so largely to the success of the old firm, it was my desire to give to several of
the old and deserving employees an interest in the business, by making them
stockholders. With this object in view, the Johnson Seed Company was
formed at that time, of which I am still the active business head and Seedsman,
being President and General Manager: also giving, as I have done in the past
twenty-five years, close personal supervision to our seed crops during growth.

Mr. Joseph F. Bradley, for twenty-four years with the late firm of Johnson ‘
& Stokes, continues as manager of the Order Department of Garden and Grass
Seeds and Poultry Supplies. (s

Mr. William J. Sherry, for twenty-two years with the late firm of Johnson
& Stokes, also retains his old position as manager of the Flower-Seed, Bulb
and Mail-Order Departments.

Mr. Clifford Phillips, who has had charge of the books and accounts of
Johnson & Stokes for twenty years, is Secretary and Treasurer of the new
company.

A large number of other old and competent employees also remain in
their former positions.

Thus I place az your service a corps of able and experienced workers,
trained for a score of years in a successful seed business, and bringing to bear
the added impetus of their own financial interest. This should assure you
(as it does me) that the JOHNSON SEED COMPANY is in a position to
give you better seeds and better service than even the well-known old firm.

I solicit your favors, and shall always be glad to hear from you by letter
or meet you in person should you call at the old stores, Nos. 217 Market Street
and 206 Church Street, Philadelphia.

Faithfully yours,

January, 1907

UR Market St. Store, on the principal business street of
Philadelphia. Since July Ist, last, over $7,000.00 have
been expended in the addition of new fixtures and

other facilities, giving us one of the most complete modern

the prompt and accurate execution of orders. We know that we
can please you—otherwise we would not seek pour trade.

A LITTLE PERSONAL HISTORY

EFORE establishing the late firm of
Bae & Stokes in 1881, I served an
apprenticeship of nine years with one of

the best-known seed houses in Philadelphia,
since which time I have taken personal and com-
plete charge of the growing of and contracting
with private growers for the entire Garden Seed
Supply of Johnson & Stokes. Thus I offer you
the benefit of thirty-four years’ all-round ex-
perience as employee, partner, seed-grower.
business head and manager of a successful seed
business. As the writer of this catalogue, I
thank my patrons of past years and solicit a
share of your future orders.

Very truly, HERBERT W. JOHNSON.

About Gre enhouses vitality and purity of seeds and growing vegetable and other

plants required by our customers, we are not in the green-
house business to raise fancy ornamental plants, cut flowers, etc., for market. We could not afford to
risk our reputation as seedsmen unless we knew that the seeds we send out would sustain it.
Hence the need of greenhouses and trial grounds ; but believing that you need the seedsman, not the
florist, we prefer to ‘‘ stick to our last’’ and be seedsmen only, first, last and all the way through.

at great expense, extensive trials at our Cedarcroft Seed Gardens and Trial Grounds, comprising 28
acres located in Ocean Co., N. J. They are established to serve a two-fold purpose :

1. To try new vegetables and flowers with the avowed intention of ascertaining their real value
to the market or private gardener.

2. To grow and develop choice high-grade seed stocks for planting at Gardendale or on our other
seed farms or those of our expert private contract growers. These improved seed stocks are sent to
whatever section of the country is best adapted to the growth and perfect development and maturity of
the particular crop. During growth and harvesting they still, from time to time, receive our personal
care and attention, although thousands of miles have to be traveled in looking after them. The cash
expended in this way buys knowledge and safety, the benefit going to our customers.

This is an age of progress in gardening as
well as in other professions. There isan increas-
ing demand for better vegetables and flowers.

The successful gardener, before ordering his
supply of seeds, makes a careful study of one or
more reliable seed catalogues. He has probably
learned that there are two classes of seedsmen.

One class offer each year, in bewildering num-
bers, novelties from the four quarters of the globe,
which they claim are destined to eclipse all simi-
lar varieties heretofore known. Such catalogues
the gardener must regard humorously if he con-
siders them at all.

There is another class of seedsmen who are
constantly on the lookout for something of value.
They keep closely in touch with experts in this
and in foreign countries. New varietiesof proven
and distinct merit are promptly included in their
lists, after thorough trials, such as made by us
each season at Cedarcroft Trial Grounds.

pods are brittle, tender and of fine
texture. If picked when they
should be, are entirely stringless.
The fine table quality of the long,
handsome pods will soon be appre-
ciated. In our trial ground tests
this variety was easily distin-
guished by its rank growth, great
vigor, productiveness and freedom
from blight and rust. Pkt., 10c. ;

NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES 5

Johnson’s Quick Cash *™*aee<*

A cross between our celebrated
Very Earliest and Early Spring,
our Quick Cash Cabbage combines
the extreme earliness of the pointed
varieties with the flat head of the
later sorts, the latter type being
generally preferred. It is as early
as Johnson’s Very Earliest, and
several expert cabbage growers
have claimed it to be even earlier
than that well-known variety.

It has a short stem, and is a
firm, solid header, growing to good
size for such an early cabbage.
The outer leaves are few and the
heads have been known to stand
for weeks without bursting. 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 ma-
ture size. These advantages, to-
gether with its large yield per acre,
make it a most profitable and
desirable early cabbage for either
the marketorhome garden. Pkt.,
15¢c.; oz.,40c.; 41b., $1.10; lb., $4.00. Photograph of JOHNSON’S QUICK CASH CABBAGE.

Early Danish Roundhead

A very superior strain of the famous Dan-
ish Ballhead Cabbage, maturing fully two weeks
earlier and remarkable for its great solidity.
The firm, compact and unusually heavy heads
are pure white, crisp, tender and delicious,
being especially fine for cutting down for slaw,
ete. The Danish Roundhead is of the short-
stemmed type, and because of its handsome
appearance, solid, heavy head, and good table
qualities,is hard to beat. Price, per pkt., 10c.;
0z., 25c.; + lb., 70c. ; lb., $2.50.

Louderback’s
All Year Round

The Standard Summer and Fall Cabbage
around Philadelphia. Of the early Drumhead
type, unusually uniform and very solid. See
page 23. Pkt., 10c.; 0z., 25c.; }1b., 75c.; Ib., $2.75.

EARLY DANISH ROUNDHEAD CABBAGE.

New Danish Cauliflower
Pearl of Denmark

We have tried new varieties of cauliflower
seed from many of the most successful Danish
growers, and this is the first new sort which
can compete with the famous Early Alabaster.
It isof the Snowball type, with smaller leaves,
and about two weeks earlier. The heads are
large, very white and solid. We can recom-
mend this strain very highly for growing either
under glass or in open ground. Seed very
scarce.

Pkt., 30c.; $ oz., $2.75 ; oz., $5.00.

Davis Perfect Cucumber

Mr. Eugene Davis, a Michigan grower, al-
ready famous as the originator of the Davis
Kidney Wax Bean and the Grand Rapids Fore-
ing Lettuce, now comes to the front with a new
cucumber. Those who saw our crop last year
are unanimous in their praises, and say they
never saw anything to equal it.

In shape it is slim and symmetrical, with
an average length of 10 to 12 inches; its color
is a dark glossy green, which it holds until
nearly ripe, when the fruit turns white without
a sign of a yellow streak on it. Its table quali-
ties are unequaled, as it is of exceptionally
good flavor, unusually tender and brittle and
has very few seeds. as

It is a very strong grower, and this fact,
combined with its fine table qualities and great
productiveness, makes it invaluable to either
the grower for market or the home gardener.
Per pkt., 10c.; 0z., 20c.; 4 1b., 55c.; lb., $2.00.

New Columbia Celery

From our observation of this new and very
distinct variety, we believe it a great acquisition
in earliness, showy form and superior quality.

The plant is of medium height, but very
stocky and heavy. Stalks are thick, resembling
in shape those of Giant Pascal. The color has
in it more of the rich yellow tint of Paris Golden
Self Blanching. The foliage is of a distinctly
light shade of green, with a tinge of yellow. In
season it follows in close succession Golden Self
Blanching. Pkt., 15c.; oz., 50c.; + lb., $1.25;
lb., $4.75.

Photograph of small section of our field of JOHNSON’s NORTHMOUNT EGG PLANTS growing for seed.

Johnson’s Northmount Egg Plant

An Earlier Improved Black Beauty

This fine new variety is the result of selection of the very earliest and finest fruits of the celebrated
“ Black Beauty.’ It is, beyond question, the earliest and hardiest of all Large Smooth Purple Egg
Plants. While the fruits are not always quite as large as Black Beauty, it ripens fully ten days earlier
and is suited to more northern climates. One of the faults of the old sorts was that they matured so
late that in northern latitudes the entire crop could not be gathered before frost set in and destroyed
them. With the introduction of Johnson’s Northmount, this danger is past, owing to its great earliness.

The plants branch freely near the ground and grow in well-rounded bushes. The fruits are thick, of
most attractive shape (as shown in illustration), and in color a lustrous purplish black. This coloring is
uniform over the whole fruit, and does not fade at the blossom end, as do so many of the older
varieties. It is valuable alike to the private planter and the extensive grower for market. Prices, per
pkt., 20c.; 4 pkts., 60c.; $ oz., $1.00 ; oz., $1.75 ; 4 ovs., $6.00.

White Mexican Sugar Corn

The old Black Mexican Sugar Corn has
long been famous for its delicious sweet flavor.
In the White Mexican we offer a variety which
combines with a white grain all the good
qualities of sweetness and flavor so prominent
in the old dark type.

White Mexican is also unlike Black Mexi-
can in being one of the very earliest to mature.
It is sure of a leading place, as it is quite un-
usual to find an early corn that is at the same
time so sweet that it will ‘‘ melt in the mouth.”
The ears in size and shape are like those of
the Black Mexican and apt to have the same
peculiar naked tip known in that variety.

If you want early corn that is deli-
ciously sweet, try White Mexican. Prices,
by mail, postpaid: Per pkt., 10c.; pint, 20c.;
qt., 30c.; by express or freight, qt., 20c.; peck,
$1.10 ; bush., $4.25.

Golden Bantam Sweet Corn

This new corn is very early, hardy and
sweet. Grains, when dry, a deep yellow color,
On our trial grounds it gave two good ears to the
stalk. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 30¢.; qt., 50c., postpaid ;
qt., 40c.; peck, $2.50, by express.

Holyrood Hot-Weather Lettuce

This is the variety distributed
for trial last season as New Lettuce
No. 30. We have received hun-
dreds of letters from those who
tested it (sorry we have not room
here to publish more of them),
saying it.is the most wonderful
heat resister they have ever grown,
standing longer than any other of
the rich butter varieties. Heads
are large, firm and solid; light green
outside, blanching to a beautiful
cream-yellow inside. The most
critical market gardener cannot be
disappointed in this remarkable
lettuce, no matter at what season of
the year he may sow it.

Pkt., 15¢.; 0z., 35c.; $ lb. , $1.00;

Burrell’s Gem Melon—A New Rocky Ford with Golden Meat

Colorado is world-famous for its melons, and Burrell’s Gem, the new Rocky Ford Muskmelon with

golden meat, isthe » result of years of careful selection by Mr. D. V. Burrell, a Colorado grower.

It has a thin, ~ / tough rind and is closely netted. The meat is of a reddish orange, very
thick (the seed / cavity being unusually small, as shown in our photograph below), fine
grained and spicy, |} / not containing too much water or acid. In shape it is quite elongated,
andthe blossom end is protected with a well-developed button. All these points combine to
make it an A No. 1 melon, both for its good eating and fine shipping qualities. The seed we

offer wasgrownand selected by the originator. Price, pkt., 15c.; 0z., 40c.; ¢ lb., $1.25 ; 1b., $5.00.

O B The Largest and Finest of all
utremont beauty Muskmelons

Early in August last, we were astonished to see the windows and store of a Broad Street fancy fruit
dealer of this city filled with the most magnificent melons we ever saw, and selling readily at from
$3.50 to $4.00 each. New Jersey and Colorado grown cantaloupes seemed like pigmies alongside these
in price, size and handsome appearance. They attracted so much attention that nearly all the daily
papers of this city had something to say about their merits. Learning that these melons came from
Canada, the writer (Johnson) started for there at once, to learn the origin, and found that they were
grown by Mr. T. J. Gorman, at Outremont, Canada. Mr. Gorman’s patch was certainly a sight. Not-
withstanding he had made several pickings, the vines were literally loaded with melons, weighing from
15 to 25 pounds each (Mr. Gorman assured us he had grown one specimen to weigh 56 pounds). Ow
ing to their very thick flesh, which is very delicious, and small seed cavity, only about $ ounce
of seed could be taken from a melon, and it was only after great persuasion, and at a fabulous price,
we induced Mr. Gorman to select and save for us a few pounds of the seed, which we have put up in
packets of 25 seeds each, and will supply our customers at 25c. per packet, or 5 packets for $1.00.
We cannot, however, supply more than 5 packets to any one customer, With each packet of seed send
complete directions, as given us by Mr. Gorman, for growing to perfection these truly magnyicent melor

Johnson’s Dreamwold-A “Find” in Muskmelons

Two years ago, one of our expert melon growers in southern New Jersey found a chance plant in
a large field of our Improved Shippers’ Delight Muskmelon, which seemed distinct in both fruit and
foliage, the melons setting and ripening two weeks in advance of the others; more densely netted and
free from any tendency to knob or button at the blossom end. The seed was carefully saved and

baskets—a very valuable point to shippers.

planted, so that we are able this season to offer
it for sale. The quality of its thick, green flesh
is simply perfection, being sweet and lus.
cious beyond description. Add to these its
remarkable earliness, and we have certainly a
valuable addition to the list of muskmelons.

If you grow for market and want to be the
first with fine melons, plant Johnson’s
Dreamwold, which means double prices can be
realized on all you can grow. You can buy
your seed this season from the Johnson Seed
Company only, as we control the entire
supply. Prices, per pkt., 15c.; oz., 35c.; 4 Ib.,
$1.00 ; lb., $3.50.

Improved Shippers’
Delight Muskmelon

The old Shippers’ Delight Muskmelon, in-
troduced in 1897, has made much money for
growers, on account of its earliness and fine
shipping qualities. This is an improved se-
lection, bred to give it larger size and a more
uniform appearance, without expending any
of its earliness, thickness of flesh, or fine flavor.
With the exception of Johnson’s Dreamwold,
no better shipping melon can be found. Pkt.,
5¢.; 0z., 10c.; 4 lb., 30c.; lb., $1.00.

NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES 11

Three New and Superior Globe Onions

The steadily increasing popularity of the globe type of onion is, no doubt, due to the fact that good
globe onions command the highest market price. Intelligent and carefully directed efforts on our own
part, and those of our expert seed growers, have done much for the development and maintenance of
these superior types. It is not alone sufficient to breed up a strain to the ideal, but it is necessary, year
after year, to give the most careful cultivation —
and selection to prevent any deterioration ; this
is especially true of this type of onions. Onion
seed is in very short supply this season. For
other varieties of onions, see pages 38 and 39.

NEW RUBY GIANT PEPPER, OHINESE GIANT PEPPER.

New Ruby Giant Pepper

In Philadelphia and other markets there has been for some time a growing demand for a mild red
pepper as large as Chinese Giant, but having the longer shape of Ruby King. Asa result of crossing
these two peppers, we have indeed a handsome new variety, which retains the enormous size of the
Chinese Giant, but has lost the somewhat ungainly shape of the latter for the graceful, elongated form
of Ruby King, being much longer than the former variety and much larger round than the latter.

In color it is most attractive, being a bright clear red, and in flavor mild, delicious and sweet. The
plant is vigorous in growth, stocky and well-branched, and is fully as prolific as Chinese Giant. Pkt.,
10c.; oz., 45c.; 4 Ib., $1.35 ; lb., $5.00.

Chinese Giant Pepper

The plants are of vigorous growth and seldom more than 2 feet in
height, well branched and thickly set with monstrous fruits. The pep-
pers are fleshy, of stocky form and in color the most brilliant scarlet.
They are uniformly ‘“‘enormous’”’ and are justly called Giants. The
flesh is extremely mild,as sweet as an appie, and can be served sliced
like tomatoes. Prices, pkt., 10c.; 0z., 50c.; 4 Ib., $1.60 ; Ib., $5.50.

New Neapolitan Peppers
Red and Golden

These are very early and prolific; fruits 4 inches long by 43 inches
round ; flesh is thick and very mild. Prices for either sort, pkt., 10c. ;
oz., 45c.; 4 lb., $1.38.

The Dainty Duchess Pea

This new pea, the result of hybridization and careful selection by
an expert grower in the ‘‘old country,’’ somewhat resembles the well-
known favorite Telephone in type, but is superior to that variety in
quality and yield.

It isa fine wrinkled pea, of tall habit, robust growth, hardy and
vigorous, producing large, well-filled pods in great profusion. The
peas themselves are of extra size, borne 8 or 10 to apod, and possess a
superior delicious sugary flavor. Prices, pkt., 10c.; pint, 30c.; qt., 55c.,
by mail, postpaid ; qt., 40c.; peck, $2.25 ; bush., $8.50, by freight or
express.

Carter’s Danby Stratagem Pea

We have obtained our seed of this new pea from the originators,
James Carter & Co., the largest seed growers of Great Britain. In our
trials the past season we found it a distinct improvement on the original
Stratagem, having longer, straighter and broader pods, very freely
produced. The haulm is very robust, and extends to a height of 23
feet, bearing a profusion of immense pods, many 6 inches in length,
and frequently containing ten large, full-flavored marrow peas. Pkt.,

- JOHNSON’S JACK ROSE TOMATO

SEEDS 13

The Earliest Tomato in Existence

Since the discovery of Sparks’ Earliana Tomato by the writer in 1899, and its introduction in 1900,

we have been looking for a tomato of equal quality that would eclipse it in earliness.

From critical tests

the past season we believe in the Johnson’s Jack Rose we have a new and distinct variety, fully 10
days earlier than the original Earliana. It also has the advantage of being more erect in growth, hay-

ing a larger, stronger and more vigorous stock to support its load of fruit. —
The fruit and foliage are quite distinct in color from either the

JOHNSON’S IMPROVED Fig a
STRAIN NO. 10 SPARKS’
EARLIANA TOMATO

Sparks’ Earliana Tomato, in-
troduced in 1900, has proved
one of the most successful vege-
table novelties ever introduced,
and is now largely planted in
all sections of the United States.

This new strain, offered last
season for the first, which we
have named Johnson’s No. 10,
is fully one week earlier than
the original type, more vigorous
in growth.

Sparks’ Earliana Tomato was
first discovered and named in
1899, by the writer of this
catalogue, Herbert W. John-
son, who has since given his
personal attention to its selec-

tion, growth and improvement.

We publish below a few of hundreds of testimonial letters received from customers
who grew our No. 10 Strain last season

CHARLES H. GARDINER, Huntington, N. Y., Sept. 16, 1906,
writes : ‘‘I planted seed of your new No. 10 Strain just one
month later than the old Earliana; they ripened at the same
time. They are the finest I ever saw.’’

HARRISON Perry, Dividing Creek, N. J., Oct. 12, 1906,
writes: ‘‘ Your new Strain No. 10 is superior to the old Ear-
liana, the fruit is earlier, firmer and vines keep green
longer.”

J. R. Jarvis, Cobden, Ill., writes: ‘‘ Your No. 10 Strain
Earliana Tomato will prove the most profitable to market
gardeners. I planted them in the open ground April 10th,
and picked the first ripe tomatoes July 1st. Tomatoes large,
sound and solid, the finest on the market.”

A, T. Davis, Yardville, N. J., writes: “I planted your
improved No. 10Strain side by side with the Earliana and
they ripened two weeks sooner. Their foliage protects them
from the hot sun, They have no equal.”

P.M. Pettit, Piney Point, Md., Oct. 17, 1906, writes:
“Too much cannot be said in favor of your new No. 10 Strain
of Earliana. Sown March Ist, were ripe July ist. The
first one picked weighed 1144 ozs. and was 12 inches in
circum ference.”’

E. E. ADAMs, a large tomato grower of Leamington, On-
tario, Canada, writes: ‘‘We find the new Earliana No. 10
the earliest and most profitable variety, having cleaned up
over $1,200 on two acres last season.”’

SARAH C. GUMBERT, Aughwick Mills, Pa., writes : ‘Your
new No. 10 Strain brought me ripe tomatoes ten days earlier
than the old Earliana, The new tomato is the very finest,
very productive, and nearly seedless.’’

E, A. SHADLE, Lewistown, Pa., writes: ‘‘ Your new No.
10 Strain of Earliana are not only the earliest of all, but they
keep and retain thei: flavor tonger than any other kind after
being taken from the vine.”’

ANew Nameless Cabbage

We have been fortunate in securing from one
of the largest cabbage seed growers of Long Island
a small supply of seed of this new cabbage, which
has been successfully grown by him for a few years
past, but has never been given a name. In our
investigations, we have found it to be one of the
handsomest, hardest heading and most uniform of
all cabbages. In a field of 4 acres there was nota
single plant that showed the slightest variation
from its trueand valuable type, every one form-
ing a large, solid, white head, weighing from 16 to 18
lbs. each and of the finest quality. While not a
first early, planted at the same time with the best
medium and late varieties, it will mature 2 weeks
earlier and is indeed a vegetable wonder in hardi-
ness, solidity and uniformity. There is no seed for
sale this season and will not be until 1908. We
will, however, include a liberal trial packet in all
orders of $2.00 and over received this season, which

A GRAND NEW
UNNAMED ONION

In our trials the past season we found this new
unnamed onion, from one of the oldest growers in
Connecticut, a magnificent strain of red onion, far
surpassing theold Red Wethersfield in its fine round
shape and extra dark red color, which it holds
better and is more uniform in shape and size than
any red onion we have ever seen. The onion it-
self indicates that it possesses the remarkable keep-
ing qualities claimed by the originator. There is
no seed for sale this season and will not be until
1908. We will, however, include a liberal trial
packet of both this and the new cabbage above, in
all orders of $3.00 and over received this season,
which entitles the purchaser to suggest names for
both in competition for the $200 Cash Premiums | _ boil :

The Best Seeds that Grow, and a
List of Varieties it Pays to Grow

SPECIALTIES AND STANDARDS

N the interest of our customers we have endeavored to list in the
following pages the cream of all varieties known, weeding out many
_that are still advertised by other seedsmen. We take great
pains each season to inform ourselves fully, by actual tests, as to the
real merits of everything offered as new or superior, and our customers
may rest assured that if any much-lauded variety is not found in our
Manvau, the probability is much greater that we have tested it and
found it of little or no value, than that it is unknown tous. Someof the
older varieties have been left out on account of their being very similar
or inferior to some of the newer sorts. Any variety which has appeared
in former catalogues, although not here listed, can be furnished. It is
our constant aim thus to accommodate, gain and hold the confidence
of all customers.

Asparagus is one of the earliest spring vegetables. No vegetable

Sparag us on our list can be produced so cheaply and easily. Directions for

planting and culture will be found in our new LEAFLET-ESSAYS,

: : sent free on request. A bed 12 x 40 feet, requiring 100 roots, will
supply an ordinary family. One ounce of seed will sow 40 feet of row; 7,260 roots will plant an acre.

NEW EARLY FRENCH GIANT ASPARAGUS

This new sort is the earliest, largest and most prolific, being
a great improvement on the popular Palmetto or French Argen-
teuil 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 we have improved the original strain season by
season, so that it is much superior to the first importation, and
thoroughly acclimated to our northern climate. It is not only
ten days earlier than Palmetto, but of larger size and superior
in flavor and color.

DONALD’S ELMIRA ASPARAGUS

more tender and succulent. Owing to the large size, it requires

CROSBY’S IMPROVED
EGYPTIAN BEET

This is our leading extra early beet for market
gardeners’ use ; equally good for the home table.
It is earlier than the old Extra Early Egyptian,
larger in size, smooth, and of the form as shown
in our photographic illustration above. It retains
its superior quality and does not become woody
and tasteless like the old Egyptian when allowed
to stand too long. It may be sown outside as late
as July. This beet was originated from the Extra
Early Egyptian by Mr. Crosby and is a very shy
seeder. Our stock is grown from stock seed
selected by the originator, and is superior in every
way. Price, per pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; 4 lb., 20c.; lb.,

LANIER’S SUPERBA, most perfect beet in existence.

LANIER’S SUPERBA BEET

For more than fifty years and until his death,
our old friend, William Lanier, one of the oldest
and best-known market gardeners near Philadel-
phia, supplied the early and late markets with the
handsomest and most salable beets that could be
had, and Lanier’s Beets, as they were called, be-
came much sought after by the best commission
merchants of New York, Boston and Philadelphia.
During all these years Mr. Lanier selected with a
critical eye the most perfect beets from each crop
for seed stock to plant for his own use. The pho-
tograph gives an idea of its beautiful bell shape,
between a turnip and a half-long beet. A strong,
vigorous grower, producing marketable beets very
early, of a dark carmine color and very tender.

MANGEL=-WURZEL AND SUGAR CATTLE BEETS

We strongly recommend the Mangels and Sugar Beets for
feding 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.

«Beets, Mangel-Wurzels and Sugar Beets for Stock

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 wasoriginated in Scotland, where it has been known
to produce 60 tons to the acre. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; 4 lb., 20e.;

High-Bred American 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 risk 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. Asa standing evidence of its quality, we annually supply hundreds of
the best market gardeners about Philadelphia, New York, Chicago and other large cities.

is the second season we have been able to secure a
good supply from this source. Market gardeners
in many sections prefer the French-grown seed
when obtainable. It is very early; entirely self-
blanching, with large, beautifal,- golden yellow
heart; very crisp, solid and nutty. Pkt., 10c.; 0z.,

WINTER QUEEN CELERY. The best late or winter keeper.

WINTER QUEEN CELERY _

Since the introduction of this very valuable
celery seven years ago, it has become the most
popular of all as a late winter keeper, frequently
being seen and selling at high prices in the month
of May, after all other celeries are done. It is
much stouter, thicker and heavier, with double
the amount of heart of other sorts. Ribs blanch
to acreamy white, solid, crisp and of nutty flavor.

Maliner Kren

A New Horse Radish
from Bohemia

This new sort was brought

from Bohemia by Mr. Fair-
child, Agricultural Explorer

for the office of Plant Intro-
duction of the United States
Department of Agriculture.
The roots grow to a very
large size, perfectly white, and
suited to almost any soil.
Roots set in April will yield a
large crop in October. Grows much more rapidly than
the old variety, and its flavor is the very best; especially is the
difference noticeable in early fall, when the old variety
would be too green for use. It is a profitable crop for the
farmer, and should be planted in every home garden, as it
can be grown as easily as potatoes or corn, simply by sticking
down the cuttings in rows, cultivating same as cabbage and
plow out in the fall or spring, same as potatoes, parsnips or
carrots. SMALL RooTS, ready for planting: 25c. per dozen,

FOUR FAMOUS WATERMELONS

THE KLECKLEY SWEETS WATERMELON. NEW HALBERT HONEY WATERMELON.

THE KLECKLEY SWEETS WATERMELON

This famous ‘‘sweetest of all?’ watermelons has become very popular. Of superb luscious flavor ;
very fine grained and tender meat. The fruits are of large size, of form shown in above photograph.
The rind is very thin and brittle, splitting ahead of the knife w hen cutting. They ripen early and are
very desirable for the home garden. Price, per pkt., 5c.; 0z., 10c.; 4 lb., Qe. ; lb., 75e.

THE HALBERT HONEY WATERMELON

This melon originated in Texas, and is one of the best for private use or nearby markets. The rind
is thin, and will not hold for shipping any great distance. The beautiful crimson flesh has scarcely any
pulp, and is very sweet. It is long, dark green, and runs from 20 to 30 inches in length. It uniformly
demands the highest price. Pkt., 5c.; 0z., 10c.; 4 lb., 30c.; lb., $1.00.

BLACK BOULDER—The Great Shipping Watermelon

For this grand new and distinct watermelon we are indebted to the late Aaron Paul. It is
enormously productive, reaching a mammoth size. It cuts equal to any market shipping melon we
have ever eaten; its shipping qualities are phenomenal, no other melon equaling it in tough green skin
and rind. It is one of the best “all round”’ melons in existence; for the family garden is also with-
out a peer. Pkt., 5c.; 0z., 10c.; 4 1b., 25c.; lb., 80c.

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 melo~ is frequently substituted
and sold for it. If you want quality and genuine seed, send to the Johnson Seed Company. Price,

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 than in
onions.

One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill. To grow large onions from seed, 5 pounds to the acre; to grow
small sets, 50 to 60 pounds to the acre are required. For full information for culture, storage and mar-
keting onions and onion sets, see our New Leaflet=Essays on this subject, which will be sent free with
all orders for onion seed, when requested.

There is a marked superiority in the Eastern-

is from highly bred and carefully selected types is
attested by the numerous letters we have received

The Thomas Laxton Pea

3 This is the earliest large-podded wrinkled pea

known, growing very vigorously, with vines about
23 feet in length, with pods and peas of the very
largest size, somewhat resembling the Telephone.
4] It is astonishing that a pea with as fine large pods
as this should be almost as early as the regular
Extra Early Peas. The enormous pods are full
with from six to ten wrinkled marrow peas of the
most delicious flavor. Although it commences
bearing so very early, it continues for a long time,
the peas also remaining sweet and tender for a
long time after they are fit to pick. Price, pkt.,

This new pea possesses all the merits of the
Champion of England, with less vine (26 inches),
larger pods and more of them, and coming a little

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 as they are very suscep-
tible to climatic changes, we cannot hold ourselves respon-
sible for their condition after long journeys, and wishit dis-
tinctly understood that customers take ALL RISKS

similar to the Earliana ; in fact it is a Pink Ear=

ing in clusters. Under exactly the same conditions
as given Sparks’ Earliana, it yielded as much
fruit, which is of medium size, uniform, smooth,
and attractively shaped, without cracks or green
core. The skin is a pleasing pink color, reason-
oh rea| ably tough, so that it is excellent for shipping pur-

JOHNSON’S THOROUGHBRED FIELD CORN

Selected for Seed—Tested for Vitality

THE 100-DAY BRISTOL FIELD CORN

When a few yearssince, before naming and introducing it, I first
saw this corn growing in the field, with its enormous stalks and
fodder, one-halfagain as high as an ordinary-sized man, and its magni-
ficent ears, averaging nearly a foot in length, as shown in the photo-
graph, I was inclined to doubt its earliness. But after growing it
ourselves and on the farms of hundreds of customers, we have found it
cut and shocked ready for husking in ninety-five to one hundred days
from the time the seed was planted. The grain isa 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 Mam-
moth and other late varieties, which require three to four weeks
longer to ripen. It is very high in protein, making it a fine ensilage
corn. In fact, it is a perfect field corn in all respects. Prices,

The Highest Average Yielder

The writer first saw this new corn while visiting the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition at Buffalo, in 1901. Of the hundreds of varieties
there exhibited, from almost every State in the Union, it carried
off the honors, and I feel justly proud in being the first to procure
the seed from its experienced originator, Mr. H. W. Austin, to
offer for sale. The yield on the farm of the originator in past
seasons hasaveraged over 100 bushels to the acre, and in the most un- |BY
favorable seasons it has never given anything buta good yield of its
magnificent ears, borne two to a stalk, ripening in 115 to 125 days

Improved Leaming Corn

I feel it a great honor to have been the first to call attention to
the great value of the True Improved Leaming Corn, nineteen
years ago, since which time it has grown in popularity each season, |
and is now catalogued by nearly every seedsman in America. It is |f
probably more largely planted now, both in the Northern and South-
ern States, than any other field corn known. This and the 100-Day
Bristol Corn, on the preceding page, are by far the earliest and best
large-eired Early Yellow Dent Corns in cultivation. The ears are |B
large and handsome, 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, making most excellent fodder, producing
two good ears to each stalk ; husks and shells easily. It ripens in 90 J
to 100 days, and never fails to make a good crop even in dry seasons, |p
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 is also adapted to a greater |B
variety of soils than other varieties, producing unusually well on [f
light or heavy land, where other varieties would not thrive, and also |
in the extreme Northern States and Canada, where it has become
very popular for fodder and ensilage purposes. Much of theso ealled
Leaming Corn of other catalogues is not the true stock as originated
and improved by Mr. Leaming. We offer seed grown by ourselves in
Chester County, Pa., from Mr. Leaming's original improved strain.

NEW WASHINGTON OATS

The seed of this new white oat was
first procured from Professor Carlton,
of the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, who pronounced them at the head
of the Oat kingdom.

Prof. Moore, at experimental sta-
tion, says: ‘‘ New, heaviest, thinnest
hull, stiffest straw, best of thirty-six va-
rieties ; weight, 36 to 40 lbs. measured
bushel.’’ A small field of 2 acres
yielded 227 bushels. Our grower in
Ontario County, N. Y., says: ‘“ They
are the finest oats we have ever grown;
straw 4 to 5 feettall ; many heads 10 to
12 inches long (as shown in our photo-
graph alongside); they do not rust;
stand up well; the plump meats make
it the greatest of all oats.’? One of the
largest and most experienced oat grow-
ers in Chester County, Pa., says: ‘‘ Its
wonderful productiveness is far beyond
what the most enthusiastic farmers in
this section ever expected to realize.’’
Another says: ‘‘Twenty bushels per
acre more than Welcome or Lincoln.”
Another grower says: ‘‘ The best oats
we haveever grown; about one week
earlier than others ; stand up well; do
not rust; yield over 90 bushels per acre.”

GOLDEN FLEECE OATS

This splendid oat was first introduced in 1901, and
hundreds of our customers have written us ofits merits. It
is, without doubt, one of the heaviest croppers, with possibly
the exception of the New Washington, described above.
The grains are white, plump and handsome. The straw is
very strong and stands up well. The blade is double the
size of ordinary oats, which attests the vigor and productive
capacity of the strain. On account of its heavy stooling
property, 6 pecks (13 bushels) is sufficient to seed an acre.

Fodder and Soiling Plants

PLANT OF SAND OR WINTER VETCH—NOTE THE GREAT NUM-
BER OF NITROGEN TUBERCLES ON ROOTS.

SAND OR WINTER VETCH (Vicia Vittosa)

Too much cannot be said regarding the value of this
Vetch for forage and fertilizing purposes. It succeeds and
produces good crops on poor, sandy soils as well as on good
lands, growing to a height of4to5feet. Itis perfectly hardy
throughout the United States, remaining green all winter.
If sown in the spring, it can be sown alone or mixed with
oats, spring rye or barley. If sown during August or Sep-
tember, winter rye serves as a good support. The root
growth is very extensive from the beginning, and makes
quantities of nitrogen tubercles, thus giving it very valuable
fertilizing properties. For plowing under asa soiling crop,
we believe it is superior to Crimson Clover or Cow Peas. As
a forage plant it will yield 144 to 4 tons pei acre. It is excel-
lent for dairy stock and poultry pasturage, being exceedingly
nutritious, eaten with relish and may be fed safely to all
kinds of stock. Sow 50 to 60 pounds per acre with 44 bushel
rye, oats or barley. Price, per lb., 30c. ; 3 ]bs., 75¢., by mail,
postpaid; by freight or express, lb., 20c.; 10 Ibs., $1.50; 100
Ibs. and over, 10c. per lb.

SPRING VETCHES, or TARES

A species of very small pea, grown extensively in Eng-
Jand and Canada for stock feeding. The seed is also largely
used for pigeon feed. Culture same as for field peas. Lb.,
25c., postpaid ; qt., 20c.; peck, $1.00; bush., $3.00, by freight.

AUSTRALIAN SALT BUSH

Valuable for arid and alkali soils. It remains green all
winter, and will yield 20 to 30 tons to the acre. One pound
of seed will plant an acre. Sow broadcast, in soil well pul-
verized, after all danger of frost is past. Mix the seed with
ten times its weight of loam, sand, ashes or plaster; cover
lightly. Pkt., 10e.; oz., 15¢.; 14 Ib., 35e. ; Ib., $1.20, postpaid.

WILD RICE (zizania Aquatica)

A native plant, furnishing food for wild fowl, ducks,
geese, etc., also valuable asa 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.

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 rapidly again. It also with-
stands severe drought with the best of this elass of plants.
As a fodder and for winter feed it is one of the most eco-
nomical,

The Early Amber is the best for fodder as well as for
sugar, as it matures quickly, and has been cultivated as far
North as St. Paul, Minn. The seed is valuable also as food
for horses and cattle, and is greedily eaten by poultry, in-
creasing the egg production. — By mail, postpaid, lb., 25c.;

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 flour,

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 Agriculture.

FIELD OF SOUTHERN BLACK OR RAM’S HORN COW PEAS IN THE
NORTH. SOWN JUNE l6th, PLOWED UNDER AUGUST dlst.

COW PEAS (The Great Soil Improver)

Make Poor Land Rich, Good Land More Produciive,
and Enrich the Soil

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 1%
bushels to the acre, and plowed under as soon as they have
attained their full growth. This crop is very largely grown
wherever known, and with the results attained from it, the
wonder is that it is not grown even more extensively. There
is no surer or cheaper means of improving poor soil than by
sowing cow pes. In its capacity as a nitrogen gatherer its
growth enables the farmer to dispense with the use of nitro-
gen or ammoniated fertilizers. Nitrogen or ammonia in
commercial fertilizers is valued at 15 cents per pound. The
cow pea, with possibly the exception of the New Velvet
Bean, described alongside, has the greatest power of extract-
ing 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
anew growth to be turned under in the fall as a fertilizer.

The best varieties for all purposes are the following:

CANADA FIELD PEAS and Oats for Fodder

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

These make a fodder and hay which double the pro-
duction of milk. The Canada Field Pea, which we sell
at $1.60 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 the acre. 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
neversown this crop will be surprised at its large yield. It
is a nutritious food and relished by all kinds of stock.
This crop also makes an excellent soil im prover when turned
under like cow peas as 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 grent
that we are now having them grown by the carload in
Canada and can always quote LOW PRICES BY LETTER
when wanted in lots of 10 bushels and upwards.

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 Southerm
States, where it is supplanting the cow pea for cattle food
und asasoil renovator. Since our introduction of it, 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 tliose 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 twenty to twenty-five feet
long, no matter how poor the soil. It leaves a mulch on the
ground that is very beneficial to the soil.

Dr. Stubbs, Director of the Southern State Experiment
Station, 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. 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 plant I have observed, corn-like
clusters having been collected that make a mass, from one
single growth, almost as large as a common hen’segg. The
vines of this plant are now about thirty feet in length, from
seeds planted in May.”’ The cultivation isthe same as for cow
pens. Prices, pkt., 10c.; lb., 25c.; 3 lbs. for 60e., by mail, post-

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, for fertilizing the soil and for
pasturing 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.; lb., 25¢.; 3 lbs., 60e.,

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 value in the far Northern States. This variety ripens
in all the Northern States, where it has been grown over four
feet in height, and yielded over ten tons per acre. It is a
valuable fodder 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. All who

Jerusalem Artichoke Roots

The best hog food
known. They are re-
markable for their
fattening properties,
great productiveness
(over one thousand
bushels having been
grown On one acre)
and ease with which
they 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
condition from October
until April except
when the ground is
frozen too hard for
them to root. They
: are also said to be a pre-
ventive 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 condition.
Three bushels will seed an acre. They should be cut
and planted same as potatoes, one eyetoa cut being sufficient.
They can be shipped atany time during the season, as they
are not injured by freezing. Prices, Jerusalem Artichoke

Western Millet.

The Difference between Southern Ger-

man Millet and Common Millet

In the North Millet is sown almost altogether for hay,
and for that purpose Southern Grown German Millet is much
better than Common Millet. It grows taller than does thatirom
Northern seed, and that means more hay. Itis finer than
that from Northern seed and that means better hay. In
fact, it is our judgment. based on an experience of many
years, that a farmer w¢
profit alone, pay $2.00 a bushel for true Southern Grown Ger-
man Millet than to sow the best Northern Millet as a gift.
Millet seed produced in the North or West, even from South-
ern seed, becomes what we call Common Millet. Notonly
does the plant change in character, becoming coarser and
much more dwarf, but the seed itself shows a change and is
readily distinguished by those experienced in handling it.

Common Northern and Western Millet is offered and
sold by many dealers as German Millet.

THE DAYS OF USING SOD

will soon be over, when people know how easily beautiful lawns are made ready for cutting in from 5 to
6 weeks by sowing Johnson’s Lawn Grass Seed Mixtures. It is a well-ascertained fact that a thick and
more prolonged growth is produced by a mixture of many sorts of grasses than by only one or two.
For every different kind and condition of soil there are grasses that are especially suitable. Some
mature early, others late; so that from the beginning of spring until winter setsin, there is no time
when one species or another is not at its best. For this reason, the judicious selection of grass seed,
for the creation of a beautiful lawn or grass plot, or a durable pasture or hay crop, requiresa knowledge
obtained only by an intimate study of the habits of varieties as respects quality of herbage and vigor of
constitution. It is not sufficient to select the one grass indigenous to the soil or climate, for it may not.
possess the many qualities requisite for the purpose desired, for hardiness and permanence, which com-
bination of qualities and character is best found in a mixture of sorts.

A quart of Lawn Grass will sow about 300 square feet. Three to four bushels will sow an
acre. Instructions how to prepare and sow a lawn accompany each package or bag of seed.

Johnson’s “Fancy” Lawn Grass Seed

will produce a permanent and velvety deep green sward at all seasons.
Equally valuable for renovating old and worn-out lawns

This is our best mixture of the best deep-rooted, native and acclimated foreign, fine-leaved grasses, —

properly blended, so they can_not be excelled for the purpose, standing the extremes of heat, drought
and cold. This is really the cheapest, cleanest and heaviest mixture of Lawn Grass Seed ever offered,
because, while other mixtures on the market will not average over 14 lbs. to the bushel, this weighs
22 lbs. per bushel. Price, qt., 20c. (qt., postpaid, 25c.); 4 qts., 60c.; peck, $1.00 ; bush., 22 lbs., $4.00.

Johnson’s Standard Evergreen Lawn Seed Mixture

Johnson’s Standard Evergreen is a well-balanced combination made from our own formula, of fine
native grasses that will produce a beautiful effect throughout the whole of the growing season. It has be-
come standard, being largely used on the best public and private grounds around Philadelphia, New
York and other large cities. Price, per qt., lic. (qt., postpaid, 20c.); peck, 75c.; bushel, $3.00.

Fairmount Park Lawn Grass Seed Mixture
This mixture we supplied for many years to Fairmount Park, the largest in the world. It will give
good results where the finest grasses are not required, and is also valuable for use on railroad embank-
ments, terraces and exposed lawns. Qt., 15c. (qt., postpaid, 20c.); peck, 75c.; bush.,14 lbs., $2.50.

Johnson’s Shadow Lawn Grass Seed
This isanew mixture, prepared especially for shady places
It is quite difficult to obtain a satisfactory growth of grass under trees and in shady places; for

Johnson’s Special Mixtures for Permanent Pasties and Mowing Lands

Good Pastures are the Foundation of
Successful Farming

Sow two and one-half bushels to the acre

These samous mixtures are a well-balanced
combination of a number of native and accli-
mated foreign grasses and clovers, blended so
as to produce a permanent, dense and deep
rooting turf that will yield year after year the
maximum quantity of hay, and afterwards to
afford, if desired, a constant and abundant
pasture. After the hay crop is cut, the grass

commences to grow at once, recovering its
verdure in a few days, and affords excellent
pasturage even through dry summer weather.
Both mixtures will maintain their valuable
qualities 20 years or more if they are occasion-
ally top-dressed with manure and oceasiona
sprinkled with grass seed. The mixturescontain,
in suitable porportion, the following grasses:

Caution.—Buyers of clovers should be very careful
about buying seed offered below the market price, as there

Prices Subject to Market Changes

Alfalfa, or Lucerne Clover. Every farmer should
endeavor to have at least a few acres of alfalfa clover. With
our present understanding of the crop, there should be no
difficulty in getting a good stand, but care must be taken in
putting it in right and taking care of it afterwards. Sow in
the spring or in August, as preferred, at the rate of 25 to 40
lbs. per acre; see that the soil is sweet and well manured.
If your soil does not contain the proper bacteria, it can be
obtained by the use of Nitro-Culture. The field should be
cut when the plant begins to bloom, whether it is tall enough
for use or not, and should be cut three or four times each
season. When a good stand is once secured, it will generally
last from 8 to 10 years, giving three or four crops per annum.
Alfalfa Clover Hay has no equal, as it is very rich in protein
and makes a balanced ration that will save the purchase of
higher-priced foods. Price, per 1b., 20c.; 10 lbs., $1.75; bush.
of 60 lbs., $9.75.

Turkestan Alfalfa. (True.) This variety, imported
from Turkestan, has for the past few years withstood the
drought of summer and cold, dry winters both North and
South better than ordinary alfalfa, giving two crops in the
most northerly latitude, where the other would winter-kill.
Price, per lb., 25¢.; 10 lbs., $2.00; bush., 60 lbs., $10.50.

CRIMSON or SCARLET CLOVER

A most valuable crop is this annual clover. Asan im-
rover of the soil, or for an early summer forage or hay-crop,
it is first-class. As a green manuring crop for grain, fruit or
trucking crops, it gives the very best results, while for improv-
ing poor land it has few equals. It succeeds on every kind of
soil. Sow ten to fifteen pounds to the acre in June or July,
orcan be sown in the fall either broadcast or drilled in, as
a@ winter cover or soiling crop, being a great soil enricher,
adding humus and nitrogen. Lb., 15c.; 10 lbs., $1.25; bush.
of 60 lbs., about $3.00.

ALSIKE or SWEDISH CLOVER. The hardiest of
all; well adapted for permanent pastures or for hay crop.
Never heaves or throws in the winter; thrives equally well on
wet or dry soil, through extreme droughts or excessive rains.
“Grows on clover-sick land and yields a heavy bulk of herb-
age where no other clover succeeds. Blossom heads much
liked by bees. Sow six pounds per acre in spring or fall.
Lb., 20c.; 10 Ibs., $1.75; 25 lbs., $4.25; bush., 60 Ibs., about $8.75.

HUNGARIAN, or AWNLESS BROME-GRASS
(Bromus Inermis). This great drought-defying, frost-resisting
grass yields enormous 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 Hun-
garian or Smooth Brome-grass. 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 30 pounds to the acre if alone; if with
clover, 20 pounds. It may be sown in the fall with winter
wheat, or in the spring. Per lb., 20c.; qt., 15c.; bushel of
13 lbs., $2.00; 2 bushels, $3.75.

CANADIAN BLUE GRASS (Poa Compressa). The
hardiest grass in cultivation; should not be confounded
with the Kentucky Blue Grass. Canadian Blue Grass shoots
its leaves very early. All grazing animals eat it greedily;
cows fed on it produce a very rich milk. It is especially rel-
ished by sheep. Its bluish green stems retain their color
after the seed is ripe. An excellent grass for dry, sandy,
thin soilsand banks, and for covering the surface of rocky
soils. Three bushels to the acre. Qt, 10c.; bush., 14 Ibs., $1.60;
5 bush. and over, $1.50 per bush.

THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE SAYS:
“It is worse than useless to attempt to grow any leguminous crop without being certain of the

presence of the bacteria which enable the plants to fix free nitrogen. Certain regions are practically
devoid of the right kind of bacteria, and unless some artificial means of inoculating the germs be re-

sorted to, the crop will be a failure.”

See Nitro-Culture, next page.

Nitro-Culture

IS NOW STRONGLY ENDORSED
BY LEADING AGRICULTURISTS
THE WORLD OVER

NITRO-CULTURE is a harmless germ which increases the crop, enriches the soil andl makes poor
farms productive by drawing nitrogen from the inexhaustible supply of the atmosphere. For a number
of years it has been known that leguminous plants have the power to acquire this atmospheric nitrogen
through enlargements upon the roots, called root nodules, which are caused by bacteria. Different
crops require separate and distinct bacteria. When the soils are lacking in the proper bacteria for the
crops which are grown upon then, it is absolutely essential that these bacteria be supplied. The farmer
must ascertain whether or not his soil is lacking in the proper bacteria. Ifthey are already in the soil
it is useless to add more, as no increase in yield would be obtained. If your farm will not produce good
crops of clover or alfalfa, or if it turns yellow after once coming up; if you have tried peas and beans
with poor results, then you may be assured NITRO-CULTURE will be of assistance to you.

MONTVERDE, FLA.,
September 4, 1906.
Gentlemen :—I mail you
to-day a photograph of
my field of Cow Peas
treated with your Nitro-
Culture. I am standing
in the field with afew
plants in each hand, in-
oculated plants in my
right hand and uninocu-
lated in my left hand.
You will see that the in-
oculated plants are about
twiceas high as uninocu-
lated and are well filled
with pods, while the un-
{noculated are not yet in
bloom and show not one
nodule on their roots.
The inoculated plants
are full of nodules, very
evenly distributed on all
of the roots. My land is
poor sand-hill land, thst
would not make corn at
all and very little of any
! other crop without hay-
ing fertilizing. These
peas were not fertilized
at all, and are of the
dwarf or bush variety.
Very truly,

GEORGE A. KIRK.

The bacteria are dried on absorbent cotton, which is placed in moisture-proof tubes. When diluted
according to directions which accompany each package, the seed to be treated is thoroughly moistened
with the solution and then put aside to dry in a shady place. Excessive heat or the direct rays of the
sun destroy the bacteria. Before planting the seed you s:ould be sure that your soil is not sour or acid.
If this condition should exist, it should be neutralized by a good coating of Jime, well worked into the
soil. Where the land is of an acid nature the bacteria cannot perform their proper functions; neither
can the crop make as good growth.

NITRO-CULTURE is especially prepared for the following crops. In ordering, please state what
crops are to be inoculated—Alfalfa, Red Clover, Alsike, White Clover, Crimson Clover, Field Peas,
Garden Peas, Cow Peas, Sweet Peas, Bush Beans, Green and Wax Pods, Lima Beans, White Field

Giant Shasta Daisy

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. Itis.
perennial, blooming better and more abundantly each sea-
son. 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 5 inches in diameter. Pkt., 10c.

JOHNSON SEED COMPANY

NASTURTIUMS

A marvellous range of new

colors has been developed in
this favorite flower, which is
in constant bloom throughout
the season, and if these are
kept well picked so that the
plant cannot produce seed
they will continue to flower
until frost. No other annual
flower seed will produce such
a lavish profusion of bloom for
so long a time and with the
same small outlay of care and
attention.
«Thin, poor soil, if possible,
disintegrated rock is the best
soil, as this produces the maxi-
mum of bloom. Soils in which
manure has been used heavily
causes the plants to produce a
heavy growth of leaves at the
expense of blossoms. They are
also in such soils apt to rot off
in wet weather, especially if
the plants have been left stand-
ing close to one another.

You cannot have too many
Nasturtiums. Plant them
along fences, hedges or wher-
ever it is desired to have a
bunch of bright color.

DWARF OR TOM THUMB NASTURTIUMS

These have a neat compact habit and attractive foliage,
are not disturbed by insects, bloom in two months from seed,
and most profusely till frost.

HOW TO GROW THIS POPULAR FLOWER

For very early outdoor bedding, Pansy seed should be
sown in the fall, in a cold frame, or in rich, moist garden
beds, from which the plants can be transferred toa cold
frame, setting them 2 or 3 inches apart each way, before
severe winter weather begins In spring three-fourths of
them can be lifted out for bedding ant the rest left to bloom
in the frame. For winter bloom in a frame, set the plants
about twice as far apart, and thin out half of them in spring
Cover the blooming plants with sashes, adding a covering of
matting or straw in very cold weather. In mild weather
remove the mats and tilt the sashes to admit light, heat and
fresh air. Spring sowings should be made early, so as to
secure good flowers during the early rains. Seed sownina
cool, moist place in June and July,and well tended, will give
gzood flowering plants for fall Through summer heat the
flowers are finer ina somewhat shaded place, but in almost
any situation good Pansy seed will give fine flowers in spring
and fall. Early fall sowings, made in a cold frame, with a
southern exposure, give the finest flowers,

SWEET PEAS

Sweet Peas are among the most beautiful of all our
hardy annuals. 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
Jair weather. Plant in double rows 6 inches apart and 4
inches 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.

glossy scarlet; flesh pink, very tender; of mild flavor. Late.

GLEN MARY. _ Perfect flowering. Vigorous, of
Brandywine type. Enormously productive of large, deep.
red berries. Flesh very firm. Red clear to the center ; sweet,
rich and high-flavored ;a decidedly good berry in point
of plant, yield, form, color, firmness and good qual-
ity. Medium season.

SHARPLESS. Old favorite. Perfect flowering variety.

Fruit moderately firm; good. Miaseason.

MARSHALL. (JMidseason.) Berries very beautiful and
average extraordinarily large—often fourteen will fill a quart.

large varieties to ripen, and although of great size, the fruit
is rarely ever misshapen. Color isa rich glossy crimson, ad-

and wonderfully productive. Perfect flowering. _

bright berries, immense yield and fine flavor.’’ Pistillate.

STANDARD CYPHERS INCUBATORS

1907 Pattern Standard Cyphers

1937 PATTERN

ARTIFICIAL INCUBATION. The many adyan-
tages of artificial incubating over the old method,—
the hen, have already been demonstrated. The ex-
perimental stage has been passed, and the poultry
man of to-day has but to choose his machine—the
one that will hatch the largest number of strong,
vigorous, healthy chicks from a given number of fer-
tile eggs, and with the least amount of expense and
labor. The genuine STANDARD CYPHERS
INCUBATORS are not an experiment. They have
been before the public ten years, during which time
tens of thousands have been sold and have received the
benefit of ten years’ improvements. Their fame
has grown until they are now acknowledged to be
the ‘‘ World’s Standard Hatchers.”’

It overcomes practically every defect, every inconvenience, and every objection
urged to artificial incubation as performed by machines of other types. It is more
convenient to operate; it consumes less oil; it is safer; it hatches a larger percentage
of the eggs entrusted to it, and it produces larger, stronger, healthier and more
vigorous chicks and ducklings than any incubator ever built. See owr guarantee on op-
posite Page.

The improved regulator or thermostat used in the latest pattern Standard
Cyphers is built on original lines, and no other style of regulator has been devised
that is its equal in durability, exactness or reliability. You wtll not have to sit up nights
watching the ‘Cyphers.’

The Standard Cyphers is a hot-air incubator, and therefore does not possess atin,
galvanized-iron or copper tank to rust out, spring a leak and water soak the machine,
thereby injuring or ruining the woodwork.

All sizes of the latest-pattern Standard Cyphers Incubators are equipped with a
“drop-bottom”’ for supplying ventilation when the incubator is operated during the
warm months of May, June, July and August. This new and valuable feature en-
ables the operator to meet all conditions of weather.

The No. 2 and No. 3 latest-pattern Standard Cyphers Incubators are furnished
with nursery drawers, so constructed and arranged as to be of great convenience in re-
moving the chicks and ducklings from our large-size incubators as often as it may be
deemed advisable without interfering in any way with the remainder of the hatch.

Cyphers Company Incubators are the only machines manufactured that lawfully
can be equipped with our patented removable diaphragms, by use of which the
“diffusive’’ system of ventilation is employed, overcoming the necessity of supplying
additional moisture by use of shallow pans, wet sponges or moist cloths. This
achievement has rendered Cyphers Incubators so simple and easy to operate, and so
certain in results that they have met with universal appreciation by experienced
operators, while beginners succeed with them from the first trial, because the machine
itself solves the ‘‘ moisture problem”’ for them; in other words, we place in their
hands a practically automatic hatcher, leaving nothing to chance or inexperience.

MRS. SARAH J. TEETER, R. F. D., No. 2, Dover, Del., writes December
22, 1906, of Cyphers Incubator:—‘‘Incubator came duly to hand—it is a beauty and is
as near perfection as could be wished for.”’

THE CYPHERS WARRANT

THE BEST POSSIBLE TEST OF AN INCUBATOR IS THE WORK IT ACTUALLY DOES IN
THE HANDS OF THE AVERAGE OPERATOR, The latest-pattern STANDARD CYPHERS INCU-
BATOR represents the highest degree of excellence yet achieved in incubators, both in principle and
mechanical construction. They are warranted as follows:

F1RST.—To require no supplied moisture under normal conditions, thus solving and disposing of the trouble-
some ‘‘moisture question.”

SECOND.—To be self-ventilating, the air in the egg chamber remaining pure at all times by its own gentle but posi-
tive action.

THIRD.—To be self-regulating, to a fraction of a degree, being equipped with the most sensitive and durable
regulator thus far invented.

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

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

SIXTH.—To be easy to set up and positively automatic in operation, (except as to trimming the wick, filling the
lamp and turning the eggs), and to operate with less labor and expense than any other make of incubator.

SEVENTII.—To bring out a larger average percentage of the fertile eggs and to produce larger, stronger and
healthier chicks and ducklings than any other style or make of incubator.

EIGHTH ,—That each and every Standard Cyphers Incubator we send out will do satisfactory work in the hands
of the purchaser, provided he will give it a fair trial, or it can be returned to us within ninety days, in
good repair, less reasonable wear, and the purchase price will be refunded.

Cyphers Unequalled Apartment Brooders

Fit Companion for the Cyphers Standard Incubators

Don’t risk losses of well-hatched chicks in an inferior, wrongly-constructed brooder when you can obtain
a certainty of safety in the CYPHERS BROODERS. Having hatched your chicks,
DON’T COURT FAILURE by putting them in an unsatisfactory brooder.

CYPHERS STYLE A, THREE APARTMENT, OUTDOOR
BROODER AND COLONY HOUSE

The Cyphers Style A Brooder furnishes an out-
door home for little chicks that 1s as near weather-proof
and neglect-proof as can be bought and sold at a popular
price. The best proof of their merit is that tens of
thousands have been sold during the past nine years, and
are giving the best of satisfaction.

Cyphers Brooders are fit companions for the gen-
uine Cyphers Incubators, and, like them, are correct in
principle and are durably made of the best materials.
They have been improved as experience suggested,
until they are the best brooders made. No other
Company puts into its brooders the same thickness
and quality of lumber, and the same weight and
quality of hardware. Their Simplicity, Certainty in Oper-

Cyphers Style A Brooder. Price $14.00 ation, Economy of Fuel, and Convenience in Use have won

for them the first place in every civilized country on the
globe, and under the most trying conditions.

All the 1907-Pattern Cyphers Brooders are of the same high quality. They differ only in shape and price.
For less money you simply get less floor space—not poorer quality, either in materials or workmanship.

Each of the four styles of Cyphers Brooders for 1907 is equipped with the Latest-Improved Insulated
Brooder Stove; best grade Sun-Hinge Burner; Cyphers time-tested, Double-Dome Heating System; trade-marked
Thermometer; Sun-Proof, Water-Tight Roof, and patented Eccentric Fasteners for locking corners.

All Cyphers Company Brooders, 1907-Pattern, are built so that they can be shipped knock-down, and com-
pactly crated, thus insuring much lower freight rates to ali points. In setting up these brooders no tools are
required, nor ts there a nail to be driven or a screw to be put in place—NOT ONE. With every brooder we furnish an
illustrated circular of directions for setting it up.

THE CHAMPION BROODER

The Champion Brooder is especially constructed for either outdoor or indoor use, thus affording all an
opportunity of raising large numbers of chicks, ‘without the great expense attendant upon the building and
operation of brooder houses. They operate outdoors winter and summer; the strongest wind cannot blow out
the lamp, which is protected from the wind by small wooden hoods over the ends of the radiator. Our lamp is
a water jacket one which effectually prevents all danger of explosions.

CYPHERS STORM KING OUTDOOR
BROODER AND COLONY
ROOSTING COOP

Recognizing the widespread demand for a thoroughly
well-made, practical brooder that can be sold at a lower price
than our Standard Style A or Self-Regulating Brooders, we
have devised and perfected the Storm King Brooder. This
brooder is lower in price, simply because there is less of it—
j. e., it has less floor space—not because it is cheaper in quality
of materials, inferior in workmanship or wrong in principle
of construction. The entire floor space of this brooder, to-
gether with the lamp and other working parts, may be re-
moved and roosts placed on floor cleats inside brooder, thus
making a well-lighted, well-ventilated colony roosting coop.

CYPHERS SAFETY BROODER STOVE

These stoves positively have no equals. The water jacket holds
a quart of water and extends out over the entire surface of the oil
bowl, thus placing a sheet of cold water between the oil bowl and the
flame jets. By this arrangementall danger of the generation of explo-
sive gases is removed, and we have a brooder stove that can be relied
on. The Cyphers Brooder Stove furnishes twice the heat of an ordinary
brooder lamp, and cheap lamps, equipped with cheap burners,
willgum up, smoke and endanger thechicks. Thousands of the Cyphers

We give below a list of Standard
Chick Foods all of which are

F. P. C. 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 pro-
motes Health Quick Growth, and Strong Develop-
ment. Especially valuable for raising chicks in winter
and early spring. 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 days longer. In
feeding Chick Manna to chicks that have been fed on
other feed, let Chick Manna be only a part of the feed
for the first day.

Michael K. Boyer, an unquestioned “authority” says of Chick
Manna;’—I have used your Chick Manna with the very best
results. The chicks not only like it, but they thrive wonder-
fully on it, and you can count on me being a steady customer.
We use the Manna exclusively for ten days and then gradu-
ally change over to other feed, and it gives us lively, strong
chicks which fully prepare themselves for the more forcing
fattening foods.

cereals, meat, vegetable bone and shell in judicious

GROUND DRIED BLOOD

Two Ounces of Ground Dried Blood Represent One Quart of Raw Blood.
Blood Meal is greatly relished by fowls, and an increase in the number
of eggs is quickly noticed when itis fed. Poultrymen must feed more
or less meat scraps in winter to make hens lay; this it generally
acknowledged. Blood Meal js merely a meat ina highly concentrated form, rich in albuminoids and ash, both

of which enter largely into the composition of the egg. Blood Meal mixed with the feed for small incubator
chicks will positively prevent the deaths so often caused by weakness or breaking down.

Pure Blood Meal fed your poultry will make your hens lay, your chicks grow fast and keep your fowls
healthy. The Blood meal offered by us is guaranteed to be pure and free from adulteration, also free from the
objectionable odor which generally accompanies other poultry foods containing animal matter. Our Pure Blood
Meal contains no ground bone or other cheap adulteration of any kind. It has less than five percent. of moisture,

and is the most complete poultry and egg food in use.

CLOVER PRODUCTS

The value of clover as a portion of the regular diet of fowls can hardly be overestimated. It furnishes
protein, lime, and other material salts in an easily-digested form. Its use will insure a large percentage of
fertile eggs, and will keep the flock in good health and vigor, It adds luster to the plumage, and assists mater-
jially in putting choice birds in exhibition condition.

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.

The Alfalfa goods are put up in strong 50 and 100-lb. sealed bags, bearing the Cyphers registered trade
mark, and labeled to comply with the various State food laws. Direction for feeding accompany every bag.

SHORT-CUT ALFALFA CLOVER

This isthe result of the first process of milling. All the stalks, leaves and
blossoms are reduced to edible lengths, while all long stems, weeds, etc. are entirely
eliminated, which is possible only by our special methods, Thus, having absolutely no
waste, this is far superior to ordinary cut alfalfa.

SCRATCHING FOODS
JOHNSON’S “VIGOR” SCRATCH FOOD

Every practical poultryman knows the value of giving exercise to his
flock. Make them hustle for a living and they will be happier and _ healthier
in every way. ‘Vigor’? Scratch Food is a combination of mixed grains, wheat,
cracked corn, oats, split peas, barley, Kaffir corn, sunflower, buckwheat, etc.,
combined in proper proportions. It gives splendid satisfaction, and we cannot
recommend it too highly.

“Vigor Scratch’’ is so combined as to be most attractive to fowls; thus

GRIT— your bBirDs NEED IT.

it is an established fact among poultrymen that in order to make the poultry business
a success, a first-class grit must be used. Ordinary water-washed smooth pebbles are not
“orit.” Grit must have a formation which enables it to retain its grinding qualities under
the relaxation and contraction of the gizzard. We give below a list of all the “Standard”

and best “Grits” for Poultry and Pigeons.

This is a most import-

made entirely of OYSTER
SHELL, NOT CLAM, as much
is that is offered, and is
thoroughly screened from all dust and dirt. Itis offered
so cheap that it does not pay to grind or break up your

The horizontal lines
of this fence are all composed of two No, 20 galvanized
steel wires twisted together. The pickets are No. 19
galvanized steel wires and are fastened to the cables
with the Union Lock. On account of the picket being
at right angles to the cables this fence will fit any un-
evenness of the ground without cutting, Because of
its strength and construction this fence requires no top
or bottom rail and no more posts than the ordi-
nary woven-wire stock fence, or about one-half the
number needed for ordinary poultry netting.

WATERPROOF SHEETING
(Improved Substitute for ‘*Oiled Muslin.’’)

The use of curtains instead of doors shuts off the
draughts from poultry houses, but at the same time
permits a gentle flow of fresh air, thus keeping the
house dry and the fowls in good health.

A difficulty hitherto has been that oil treated curtains
rotted quickly, owing to the rapid oxidizing of the oil.
To overcome this, we now offer a waterproof sheeting,
better and more durable than oiled cloths, and cheaper
than a curtain can be put up and treated with paraf-

The
Auto-Spray

The Auto-Spray isa per-
fect compressed-air sprayer
which works automatically from 6 to 15 minutes according to
the nozzle opening. It may be charged in l5seconds by a few
strokes of the plunger. It has a capacity of four gallons, and
when properly charged contains three gallons of solution
and one gallon of compressed air.

Eight to twelve strokes of the plunger will compress the
alr and two pumpings will discharge the entire contents.

Three gallons of solution or one charge will easily cover
one-half acre of potatoes or similar crop.

It is made in four styles, but we recommend the brass
tank as costing but little more than the galvanized and is
practically indestructible.

With every Auto-Sprayer is supplied, free of charge, the
most complete and up-to-date spray calendar ever issued.

TRAPS

The Olmstead Mole Trap. This, after
trying all the makes, is, we believe, the very
best trap made. It is made short so it can be
used in cold frames. Price, $1.50.

“Out o’ Sight”
Rat and Mouse Traps

The Best Trap for Greenhouse Use

The secret of mouse and rat catching is
simplicity of trap (nothing to scare), and the
chief practical beauty of the ‘‘ Out o’ Sight”
is its innocent Se een eee noening about its
placid surface which tells a mouse or rat of its
approaching danger. It catches them coming or

CTT, going. with or without bait.

i ill Simply place the trap when
set with pedal end against
the wall where they come
out from behind boxes,
back of shelves or in their
runways.

IT NEVER FAILS
