Cn Our Customers and Friends

r THIS, our 34th Annual Catalogue, represents the results of our long experience and

practical knowledge of the seed business and will serve our customers with ready and
valuable reference.

Our entire efforts are directed with one object in view; to produce and furnish

seeds of superior quality, and we have spared no expense or time to accomplish this result.

Being practical growers ourselves, we know that the seed purchaser’s success or failure
depends to a great extent upon the seed he sows, and not being able to judge the best seed
from the most worthless stock, he entrusts his orders with the seedsman in whom he has
the greatest confidence. In return for this trust we have set forth the following safeguards
which keep us continuously abreast with arising conditions and familiar with the seeds we
sell.

1. Our stock seed is placed with experts and conscientious growers in their respec-
tive lines in those localities best suited for the most perfect development of the varicus
strains.

2. All seeds offered by us are carefully tested for vitality. -

3. Continued tests are made on our trial grounds under our personal supervision
where our own as well as other so called new varieties are proven.

As a result of these methods, we have enjoyed the confidence and continued business
of the careful Trucker Buyer to whose trade we especially cater.

Yours for service,
J. MANNS & CO.

principal use is for stock feeding, being
especially valuable for hogs, preventing

They produce an enormous crop, and
when once planted, come up for years afterwards; hence for a field
crop select some land to be devoted to Artichokes exclusively, and they
will continue to produce for years. Per qt. 20c.; by mail 35¢.; peck

ASPARAGUS—Spargel.

One of the earliest and most delicious of spring vegetables. We
strongly urge all those having enough available space to put in a bed
ror their own use, following carefully the cultural directions given
elow.

Beds are usually formed by setting roots which can be procured
of us. If you wish to grow plants from the seed yourself, pour warm
water on the seed and allow it to stand until cool; pour it off and
repeat two or three times with fresh warm water. Sow in spring
in drills about 18 inches apart and 2 inches deep in light, rich soil,
planting 15 to 20 seeds to each foot of row. When the plants are well
up, thin to about 1’ inch apart and give frequent and thorough culti-
vation during the summer. If this has been well done, the plants will
be fit to set the next spring. ais

The permanent beds should be prepared by deep plowing or spading
and thoroughly enriching the ground with stable manure or other
fertilizer; a moist, sandy soil is best. If the subsoil is not naturally
loose and friable, it should’ be made so by thoroughly stirring with a
subsoil plow or spade. Set the plants about 4 inches deep and. 1 to 2
feet apart in rows 4 to 6 feet apart. After the plants are well started,
give frequent and thorough cultivation.. Early the next spring spade
in a heavy dressing of manure and about one quart of salt and double
the quantity of fresh wood ashes to each square rod and cultivate well
as long as the size of plants will permit, or until they begin to die down.
The next season the bed may be cut over two or three times, but if
this is done, all the shoots, no matter how small, should be cut. After
the final cutting give a good dressing of manure, ashes and salt. Culti-
vate frequently until the plants meet in the rows.

In autumn, after the tops are fully ripe and yellow, they should be
cut and burned. A bed 15x50 feet, requiring about 100 plants, if well
cultivated and manured, should give the following season an abundant
supply for an ordinary family and continue productive for eight or
ten years. on ss 4 won

some pods. These measure from five and one-half to six and one-
half inches long; they are one-half inch wide and halt an inch thick,
so full and fleshy that they are almost perfectly round. They are \
brittle, juicy. and entirely stringless at all stages of growth. The

POLE LIM A BE ANS (Stangen-Bohnen)

One quart to 150 hills; 8 to 10 quarts to the acre.

The pole varieties require a longer season to mature pods than the bush varieties,
but by reason of their stronger growth are more productive, and growing on poles
are more easily gathered. When planted in the garden, poles should be set 3 to 4 feet
apart each way. A shovelful of rich compost or well-rotted manure should be placed
in the soil at the base of the pole before planting the seed. Planting the beans’ eye
Ne will be found of great advantage, as they will germinate and come up more
readily.

Large seeded sorts. 1 quart to 100 hills, 1 bushel to the acre.
Small seeded sorts 1 quart to 150 hills, 3 pecks to the acre. k
These varieties are about two weeks earlier than the climbing lima; they should not be planted until the ground is

: Sow from middle of May till the middle of June in rows 2% ft. apart; drill 1 inch deep
in lands that have plenty of moisture in the subsoil; plant deeper on dry and sandy _ soil.
Thin out to stand § inches apart in the row. Young plants may be transplanted to fill up

The value of these for stock feeding cannot be overestimated.
The results from their use are wonderful, as is already shown
in the improved health and condition of animals, the increased
yield of milk in cows, and the great saving of hay. They can
be raised at a very trifling cost, and yield immense crops per
acre if the soil is rich.

Sow the seed in a well-prepared soil as soon as the ground
is in a proper condition to work. Sow in drills and tread
the seed firmly in; thin out to an. inch apart, and keep the
ground well worked and free from weeds. In order to
secure stocky plants, cut off the tops once or twice before
transplanting, which should be about in July. Make the
soil very rich with well-rotted manure, which should be
dug in deep; a moist, low, rich bottom land or well-drained
muck soil is preferable. Set the plants 8 to 12 inches apart.

growth should be avoided by
planting in good but not extra
rich soil. Sow seed in April in
the open ground, and set in
rows 8 feet apart, 18 inches
apart in row. Sowing in June
will’ produce a late autumn
crop of sprouts. Break leaves
from stem to aid formation of

it is blanched, to destroy bitterness, in the following form:
When dry gather up the leaves and tie them by their
tips in a conical shape, or lay clean boards right over the

inner leaves, which then blanch to a beautiful yellowish

PARSNIP—Pastinake

Parsnips are well know as a delicious table vegetable,
but their value for the purpose of feeding cattle and
stock is but little appreciated. The parsnip is rich in
saccharine food, which adds greatly to the richness of the
milk when fed to cows, while the fresh, succulent roots
increase the flow of milk as greatly as does the use of
fresh, green food in the spring. It is especially valuable
for the purpose from its extreme hardiness, as the roots
can be left in the ground all winter and improve in quality
by the continued freezing.

1 oz. to 150 feet of drill.

Sow as early in the spring as the
weather will permit, in drills 15

Culture.—The Extra Early varieties are very hardy, and will endure a great
amount of cold: should be planted as soon as the ground can be got ready.
The larger wrinkled varieties are not nearly as hardy, and the seed is apt to
rot instead of germinating if planted before the soil becomes slightly warmer
on the advance of spring.

For private use sow in double rows, 18 inches apart and 3 inches apart in the
rows. For market, in single rows 1 inch apart and 3 inches deep, and the rows
from 2 to 3 feet apart.

\ After the most careful expert work of selection and
Extra Early Alaska. re-selection we are now in position to offer our cus-
tomers an improved strain that is really pure, very early, uniform in growth and
Tipening. Vine is strong and vigorous, 2 to 2% feet high, of a peculiar light

for picking 49 to 50 days from planting. Seed round, blue, slightly pitted.

4 This superb strain is a great favorite with large
Pedigree Extra Early. growers. Equally as early as the choicest stock of
Alaska, the peas are much better in flavor. The vines are quite slender, of very
quick growth, and average 18 to 24 inches in height. The pods are well filled,

than the Alaska and Pedigree Extra Early. Vines grow about 24 inches high.

SEED POTATOES

Culture.

Potatoes thrive best in a sandy loam that contains plenty of vegetable matter; a clover sod or land
that was heavily manured for the previous crop supply ideal conditions.

Cut the potatoes, leaving

two eyes to each piece, and plant 4 inches deep, 15 inches apart in 3-foot rows; cultivate frequently to keep down the
weeds and conserve moisture, for a shortage of moisture means a poor crop. Before the plants appear above ground

run a light harrow over them to kill the early crop of weeds and break the crust.

If fertilizer is used, apply it either

in the row or broadcast before the potatoes are planted, and be sure to work it into the soil so that it will not come

in contact with and burn the potatoes.

Do not use fresh stable manure, as it means scabby potatoes.

Continue culti-

vating till the plants attain full growth and the vines begin to spread.

All our Seed Potatoes are grown in Aroostook County,
Maine, by experienced and reliable seed potato growers.
They can be depended upon as being strictly first-class.
Our prices quoted are very low, quality considered, and
subject to market fluctuation. Cash must accompany all

orders.

the seed half an inch deep; thin plants an inch apart in the row. As the roots are succulent and more tender when
grown quickly, a rich, light soit should be preferred, and frequent watering in dry weather will be found beneficial.
For a succession, sow every two weeks.

SUPERIOR TOMATO SEED

All our Tomato Seeds are grown from stocks, exclusively for seed purposes, by the originators and experienced growere
and experts. We are fully convinced of the merit of any new variety before placing them in our
Catalogue, and therefore recommend at least a trial to our customers and friends.

For early. the seed should be sown in hotbed during
February or the first week in March, in drills 5 inches
apart and half an inch deep. Later sowing may be made
until the last of April. When the plants are 3 or 4 inches
high they should be set out 4 or 5 inches apart in another
hotbed or cold frame, or removed into small pots, allow-
ing a single plant to the pot. Expose to the air as much as
possible to harden. Water freely at time of transplant-
ing, and shelter from the sun a few days until the plants
are established. Cultivate thoroughly as long as the vines
will permit, but the last two or three workings should be
very shallow or the crop may be badly injured, especially
if the cultivator is run too near the plants. 1 oz. to 2000
plants; 4 lb. to an acre.

EVERGREEN LAWN GRASS

The essentials for
a fine lawn are:

First. A rich, well- .
drained soil. i
Second. Ground
carefully worked. :

Third. A wise se-
lection of seed:

Fourth. Sowing at
such a time as to
give the young
plants a chance to
become well estab-

lished before being
Subjected to very dry

or very cold weather.

Too much care

cannot be bestowed

upon the selection of

grasses, aS some va-
rieties are the most
luxuriant in _ spring,

others in summer,

others again in the

autumn, and a com-

bination of the prop-:

er sorts is required

for a perfect carpet-

like lawn.

We have given
much _ thought and
made many | experi-
ments to secure the
best selection, and
think our Evergreen
mixture the best pos-
sible for permanent
lawns. It may be

Kaffir Corn

One of the best for-
age plants. The
heads contain small
white seeds, which
make an_ excellent
flour. The heads are
greedily eaten by
horses and cattle and
make splendid food
for poultry, fed
either in the grain or
ground and cooked.
The foliage and
stalks make excellent
forage. Cultivate the
same as common
corn, requiring four
or five pounds of
seed per acre. Bush.

Dwarf
Essex Rape

This plant is ex-
tensively grown for
forage, especially for sheep, and for green manure,
for which purpose there is perhaps no better plant
adapted where a quick, rank growth is desired. Pre-
pare the ground as for turnips and sow in June or July
with a turnip drill, in rows two and a half feet apart at
the rate of two and a half pounds of seed per acre. Our
stock is the true Essex Dwarf. and not the worthless
annual, Lb. 15c.; 100 Ibs. $12.50.

Sorghum, or Cane

Early Amber Sorghum. Fur-
nishes a large yield of most nu-
tritious forage, which can be fed
either green or cured, and will
yield two or three cuttings
a year, stooling out thicker each
time it is cut. ‘The saccharine
matter is of the first quality, and
it also produces a fine sugar or
syrup. It grows ten or twelve
feet high. Sow at the rate of
one peck per acre in drills three
and a half to four feet apart.
Peck 75c.; bush. $2.50.

Kaffir Corn.

Early Orange Sorghum. This
variety is a favorite wherever
used; it is similar in growth to
Early Amber, but under fair
conditions produces a_ heavier
crop. It is better for stock
e feeding than the Amber. Per
Sorghum, or Cane. bushel $2.50.

Southern
Cow Peas

There is no surer or
cheaper means of ime
proving and_ increasing
the productiveness of
our soils than by sowing the Cow Pea. It
- makes an enormous growth, enabling the
farmer to put plenty of nitrogenous vege-
table matter into the soil at a small cost,
and so very largely enables him to dis-
pense with the use of nitrogenous come-
mercial fertilizers, and has the power to
j extract this costly nitrogen from the at-
# mosphere and to store the same in the
vines and roots, so that if the crop is cut
off, the land is still enriched and its con-
dition improved. From five to nine tons
of green fodder per acre have been pro-
duced by the Cow Pea. To grow for hay
they are valuable. For ensilage they are
unsurpassed. When it is desired to turn
the whole crop under, as a soil improver,
it is better to do so after the vines are
partly dead. Cow Peas can be sown in
May or June, at the rate of one and a half
bushels per acre. k 2

Black. This variety is quick to ma-
ture, and well adapted for late planting
in Northern sections; it is a vigorous
grower and great yielder. Bushel $3.00.
Price fluctuates.

Black Eye. A prolific vine-growing variety of merit,
seed often sold for table use. Peck $1.00; bush. $3.60.

Whipporwill. A favorite early bunch-growing va-
riety; has brown-speckled seeds which are more easily
gathered than from the vine-growing sorts. This va:
riety is a prime favorite in the North and West on ac
count of its early maturity and habit of growth. Bush.
$3.00. Price fluctuates.

Canada Field Peas

These field Peas are entirely different from the Cow
Pea, requiring to be sown early in the spring, making
their crop ready for cutting in May or June. They can
be sown in open weather during December, January,
February and March, and making large yields of most
nutritious food, which can be used either green or cured
for hay. It also makes a good green manuring crop to
turn under, but is not equal in this respect to Cow Peas.
They can be sown alone at the rate of one and one-half
to two bushels to the acre, but a light seeding of oats,
rye or barley will increase the yield and help to support
the pea vines when the crop comes to maturity. The
crop is ready for cutting in May and June, and cures
easily and makes splendid hay. Price fluctuates.’ Price,
January ist, peck $1.10; bushel, $4.00. Special price
quoted on large lots. Cotton bags, holding two bushels
each, 60c. extra.

Soy, or Soja Beans

A Great Drought-Resisting Forage Crop, Producing Im-
mense Quantities of Nutritious Food, Beside Being
an Excellent Soil Improver.

The Soy Bean is coming right to the front as a great
soil enricher, as a food for hogs or cattle, both in the
green and dry state. In some parts of the South it is
extensively grown only for feeding pigs. Agricultural
Bulletins throughout the Southern States praise it with-
out stint. To plow under in the green state it is cer-
tainly one of the very best plants, next to Cow Peas, to
sow on account of its soil-enriching qualities. It will
draw from the air and return to the earth just the nour-
ishment needed. Peck $1.25; bush. $2.50. Subject to mar-
ket fluctuations.

Sand, or Winter Vetch

Sometimes called Hairy Vetch. The most valuable of
all Vetches. It succeeds on nearly all soils and is spe-
cially recommended for poor lands, where it thrives and
improves the soil wonderfully, as it is very rich in nitro-

gen. It belongs to the pea family, but the vines are more
leafy and longer. It may be sown in the spring or In the
fall, preferably with rye. It remains green all winter

and is valuable for early pkisturing, aS wei) as a fertilizer.

good size, delicately tinted with rose on a white ground.

a half feet in height, but begin flowering when only two
feet high. Pkt. 15c.; oz. 40c.

New Mammoth.—They embrace many shades of rich
crimson and mauve, together with pure white and white
delicately tinted and clouded with pink and rose. These
are also monstrous white flowers with flecked and_ ser-
rated edges and with pink and crimson flowers of the
same type. The dark crimson flowers frequently resemble
those of a large single dahlia. Plants of this variety are
of strong, free-branching growth, generally six feet in
height; the dense growth of finely cut dark green foliage
forms a splendid setting for the starlike fowers. Owing
to the strong growth of this strain, it is rather later in
blooming than small flowered types. Pkt. 5c.; 0z. 75c.

Mari ol SS, (peut French.)
Well-known garden favorite of quick growth and very
free-flowering habit. Seed can be sown thinly in shallow
drills when trees are starting out in leaf, or the young
plants may be started in boxes of light earth in the sunny
window of a warm room and set in the flower bed when
danger of frost is over, thus producing flowers early in the
summer. This Dwarf French class forms ball-like bushes
12 to 15 inches in height, with finely-cut fern-like foliage

of deepest green. : J :

One of the most satisfactory
flowers in the whole list to grow,
for they will thrive in any situa-

fact, the poorer the soil, the more
profusely will they bloom, as rich
soil tends to increase the growth
of the foliage rather than that of
the flowers. Great improvement

the latter gives the greatest satisfaction. They are very

to the preceding, but having the large double flowers
composed of broad silky petals with smooth or plain
edges, in contrast to the finely-fringed petals of the pre-
ceding type. Pkt. 5c.; oz. 20c.

This well-known favorite is without doubt one of the
most satisfactory flowers to grow, especially now that
cultivation has brought forth such a bewildering variety
of forms, sizes and colors. If large flowers are wanted
in éarly spring, the seeds should be sown in autumn in a
frame. For spring sowing, get the seed in as early as
possible, and keep the ground well watered and thor-
oughly stirred up to kill weeds. The Pansy delights in a
rich, moist soil, and the largest flowers are borne upon
young plants. While they require plenty of sunshine in
the spring, the hot summer sun is apt to dry them up and
cause the flower to become small. Our seed is all from
earefully selected large flowers, and with proper care in
growing will yield handsome returns.

This is without question the simplest

Public. It is to the celery what the
Plane is to a rough piece of wood. A
child or an inexperienced person can uss
it and accomplish more work than two
or three practical men using penknives.
It relieves stalks of the rust, scabs and
bruises, not only on top, but also be-
tween the ribs, thus leaving the celery
in the best possible showy appearance

INCUBATORS AND BROODERS

IDEAL HOT-WATER INCUBATORS.

The ldeal incorporates every advantage and improvement
known in a first-class incubator, and is the simplest method
of artificial hatching. The outside and inside walls of
the incubator are made of one-inch thick California Red-
wood, interlined with corrugated fiber board, which pro-
duces a dead-air space between the inner and outer walls
of the incubator, so that the outside temperature has no
effect upon the Egg Chamber.

The lamp support is a fireproof box, which encloses the
boiler in such a way that the heat is concentrated direct to
the boiler and eliminates all possible waste of fuel.

The tubular tank and boiler is made of pure copper, and
guaranteed against leaks. By filling the tank with hot
water in starting the incubator, a temperature up to 103
degrees can be obtained in less than two hours. The
Ideal is furnished complete with all necessary fixtures,
attachments and instruction book to operate same success-
fully.

with 28-gauge galvanized and painted iron. The top and
bottom is made of four thicknesses of material, which
makes the incubator well insulated.

The incubator case is trimmed with black enamel iron,

and is held up by substantial, strong. and well-finished
steel angle legs. p
