SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS
Selected from improved strains having true commercial merit, offered at lowest possible prices
consistent with highest quality. FOR MARKET GARDENERS and other
judicious and careful growers who sow the best.
ASPARAGUS
1 aunce to 60 feet of drill; 1 Ib. per acre; 3,000 plants per acre.
Asparagus grows easily in almost any good soil, but best results are
obtained in well-enriched, deeply dug, sandy loam. It may be grown
from seed, but much time is saved by planting roots.
The Asparagus plant is slow to die down in the fall, so that the roots
cannot safely be dug until about November Ist. By this time the soil
is so cool that the plants do not root readily, consequently many are
winter killed. For this reason, We advise only spring planting for
any point north of Washington, D. C. 5
If you wish to grow plants from the seed yourself, sow in spring in drills
about eighteen inches apart and two inches deep in light, rich soil, plant-
ing fifteen to twenty seeds to each foot of row. When the plants are
well up, thin to about one inch apart and give frequent and thorough
cultivation during the summer. If this has been well done, the plants
will be fit to set the next spring.
The permanent bed should be prepared by deep plowing or spading
and thoroughly enriching the ground with stable manure or other fer-
tilizer; a moist, sandy soil is best. Set the plants about four inches deep
and one to two feet apart in rows four to six 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. Cultivate 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 fifteen by fifty feet, requiring about one hundred
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.

Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod.
Dwarf Horticultural or Dwarf Cherry 90ers Sorts for green
BUSH BEANS
1 pint to 100 feet of drill; 1 to 1 144 bushels per acre.
Beans are tender and should not be planted until the soil is well warmed. Sow-
ing too early will often result in a poor stand and uneven ripening. Sow the seed
1 % to 2 inches deep in rows not less than 18 inches apart and firm the soil to
assist germination. Allow the plants to stand 4 to 10 inches apart in the row
according to variety.
Shallow cultivating and hoeing should be done frequently until the vines are
in blossom. To prevent blight do not cultivate deeply and avoid working them
while the vines are wet. Beans grow best in a warm, well-drained, sandy loam.
For succession plant every two weeks until about August 15th.

Black Valentine of all string beans. It will resist cold and wet better
than any other sort and therefore can be planted extremely early and very late

POLE LIMA BEANS
1 quart to 150 hills; 8 to 10 quarts per acre.
Pole beans do not bear as early as the bush varieties but they are more productive, their bear-
ing season is longer and they are more easily gathered. ‘They succeed best in a warm sandy
loam which has been enriched with well rotted manure. If poles are used they should be set
three to four feet apart each way. After the ground has become warm and dry, plant 4to6
beans to a pole and when well started thin out to 2 or 3 plants to a pole. By placing the seed
eyes down they will germinate more quickly and for this reason are less liable to rot. Culti-
vate frequently but shallow.
This variety was introduced in 1922 and has rapidly gained favor be-
Sunnybrook cause of its extreme earliness and abundance of medium sized, well
filled pods of deep green color, having four and often five large thick, meaty, light green beans
of the finest quality. The vines are of most vigorous growth and produce pods which are
ready for picking earlier than any other large seeded pole lima. Qt. 60c; Pk., $3.25; bu., $12.00

- TABLE BEETS
1 oz. to 50 feet of drill; 5 Ibs. per acre.
The soil for beets should be light, rich fine and deeply
cultivated. Smooth beets cannot be grown if fresh manure
is used. If wanted very early, sow in hot beds and trans-
plant, cutting off the outer leaves. For early outdoor
crop plant the seeds about 1 inch apart and 1 inch deep
in rows 1 to 2 feet apart, firming the scil about the seeds
by walking on the row. This should be done as soon as
the ground can be worked and for table use, plantings
should be made every three weeks. Thin out the plants
to 3 inches apart. For main crop sow in the early part
cf May while for winter use they may be planted up to
July Ist.

CABBAGE
1 oz. for 2,000 plants; 14 lb. per acre.
CULTURE:—The best results are obtained from a well-drained,
deep rich loam. The very early varieties should be sown about
September 15th and in 4 or 5 weeks transplanted to coldframes,
from which they are transplanted to open ground from March 15
to April 15. If this is not done the seed should be sown in hotbeds
in February; making plantings later of course according to variety
and time crop is wanted. The earliest sorts should be set out in
rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches apart in the rows.
If it is not especially desired to have very early cabbage the
seed may be sown in open ground and transplanted after 4 weeks.
For second early crops sow in April and transplant in May; these
will mature in July and August. The later varieties should be
planted in May and transplanted in July to rows 3 ft. apart and
2 feet apart in the rows; these will mature from September to
November.
Cabbages should be hoed every week and the ground thoroughly
stirred as they advance in growth, drawing a little earth to the
plants each time until they begin to head, when they should be
thoroughly cultivated and left to mature.

1 ounce to 2,000 plants.
This delicious and very profitable vegetable is not as exten-
sively grown as it should be because many gardeners have an
erroneous opinion that cauliflower is dificult to grow. Anyone
will be reasonably sure of success if the following suggestions
are followed:
For an early crop sow the seed either indoors or in a hot-
bed in January or February, transplanting them to 2 or 3
inches apart thus allowing the plants to put forth a vigorous
growth before being set in the permanent rows.
As soon as danger of freezing is over, set the plants in the
open ground in rows 2% to 3 feet apart and 18 inches apart in
the row. The soil for Cauliflower should be like that for cab-
bage, but it is better if an additional quantity of manure is
used so that the ground is very rich. Cultivate often and
thoroughly. For fall crop sow the seeds during April or May.
It is well to plan so that the early crop heads before very hot
weather and the late crop matures after hot weather.
Plenty of moisture is needed at all stages of growth but is
especially necessary when the plants are heading. At this
time the leaves should be loosely tied over the heads as a
protection from the sun. Cauliflower is highly esteemed for
its mild, delicate flavor and always commands a favorable
price in the markets.
The best early variety in cultivation.

CULTURE:—Any good soil will grow this vegetable, but
the most perfect roots however, are developed in rich, friable
soil, preferably sandy loam. The flavor and tenderness of
the table varieties is secured by having a quick growth, which
usually means good growing weather and proper cultivation.
Sow as early as the ground can be worked or for late crop until
the latter part of July, in drills 15 to 18 inches apart, finally
thinning the plants to 3 to 4 inches in the drills. The seed is
slow to germinate and if sown early or on moist soil, half an
inch is deep enough. When sown during the hot summer
months it is well to protect the seed bed with a thin layer of
chips or straw as excessive heat will kill the vitality of the
seeds before they germinate. After the seed has sprouted
remove the covering, selecting the late afternoon for this
work. Carrots are usually quite free from pests and diseases.
The usual danger from ground worms and slugs if of course
always prevalent, but once up they are easier to grow than
most vegetables. They are ready for table use in about two
months,

CELERY
. 1 ounce to 1,000 plants.
Celery seed is very slow to germinate and therefore should be
started indoors in boxes from February to April or sown out of
doors in a finely prepared seed bed during April. See that the
seed is not covered too deep and that the bed is kept moist, almost
wet until the seeds germinate. When the plants are about two
inches high thin out and transplant to a distance of two or three
inches apart each way. These must be kept entirely free from
. weeds and when they are four inches high the tops may be cut
off so that the plants will grow more stocky. The plants are
usually set out in the permanent bed when five inches high and
it is usually best to do this during July or the first of August. In
some sections best results are obtained by transplanting in June.
The permanent beds should be thoroughly prepared and well
enriched with rotted manure, which should be spaded in deeply,
the rows being spaced 3 to 4 feet apart. Cut off some of the root
and set the plants 8 to 12 inches apart in the rows, firming the soil
tightly, and cultivate them frequently for a period of six weeks.
Celery needs plenty of moisture.
When the plants are nearly full grown they should be blanched.
This is done by drawing the soil closely about the plants to about
two-thirds of their height, being careful not to allow any of the
earth to fall between the leaves. Repeat this process every few
days until only the top of the leaves are visible. Do not disturb
the plants while they are wet or the soil is damp as this is liable
to result in injury from rust.
Golden Plume This new strain of Golden Self-Blanch-
ing has been pronounced by authorities
to be the best of all the early varieties. It matures two or three
weeks earlier than any other sort, blanches more quickly and shows
less tendency to blight or crown-rot. Distinctly larger and ranker
in growth than Golden Self-Blanching; more plainly ribbed and
does not grow hollow. The crisp, tender stalks are very broad
and the large full plumed centers are displayed to advantage.
Combining the assets of earliness, finest qulaity and appearance
Golden Plume offers a splendid opportunity to Market Gardeners.

French Golden Yellow Self-Blanching
(Originator’s Stock). This is the standard celery for early use,
being ready for use very early, and much superior to other varie-

cannot be excelled in quality or appearance. ‘The plants are of
medium size, compact and stocky, with yellowish green foliage.
As they r ature the irmer leaves and stems turn to a beautiful golden
yellow, which adds much to their appearance and makes the work
of blanching much easier. The stalks are solid, crisp, tender, free

1 ounce to 2,500 plants; 3 Ibs. per acre.
Lettuce to be at its best should be grown rapidly, hence the
soil should be.made as rich and friable as possible by liberal
manuring and thorough preparation. For early crop sow in a
seed-bed in September or October and protect through the
winter with cold frames, which should be removed as soon as
danger ot severe freezing is past. Lettuce in the open ground
will stand some freezing but is killed by prolonged frost or
frequent treezing and thawing. The seed may also be sown in
hotbeds in March, and the plants, if well hardened, may usually
be set in the open ground in April, maturing a crop much earlier
than complete open ground cultivation would produce. If,
however, it is not convenient to get the plants started either
in the fall or early spring in hotbeds, the seed may be sown in
open ground from the middle of April until July, selecting va-
rieties suitable for the season.
The plants should stand 8 to 10 inches apart in the rows, and
the rows should be about 18 inches apart.

ONIONS
To grow large bulbs 1 oz. to 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 lbs. to the acre.
- To grow sets 10 ozs. to 100 feet of driil; 50 lbs. to the acre.
The Onion must have a clean and very rich soil. Use well-rotted manure
freely, and get the seed in as early as possible in the spring, no matter if
it is cold and unpleasant. If onions do not get a good growth before hot,
dry weather, the crop is sure to be a failure. Keep the soil mellow and clear
of weeds. Sow in shallow drills, not less than a foot apart nor more than
half an inch deep. As onions grow on top of the ground, they may be al-
lowed to remain pretty thick, no matter if they crowd each other. In
hoeing,-destroy weeds and keep the ground mellow; do not cover the young
bulbs with earth. It is useless to try to grow onions on poor, unsuitable
soil. Three days neglect when the weeds are growing rapidly will some-
times ruin a crop, and a week too late in sowing makes the difference
between a good and a bad harvest. With proper manuring, onions can
be grown on the same land for a score of years, and it will become cleaner
and better every year.

1 quart to 100 feet of drill; 114 bushels per acre.
Peas grow best on a light, rich, mellow soil under cool and moist weather conditions.
Fresh manure and very rich or wet mucky soil should be avoided.
The extra early varieties are very hardy and should be planted as soon as the ground
can be made ready, while the larger wrinkled varieties, which are not as hardy but
of superior quality, may be planted when the soil has become slightly warmed, as the
seed will rot 1f planted too early.
For private use, sow the seed in double rows, 18 inches apart and 3 inches apart in
the row; for market, in single rows 2 to 3 feet apart and 1 inch apart in the rows.
The peas will give quicker returns if covered only one inch deep, and where earliness
is most important they may be treated this way. Larger pods and greate. quantity
will be produced it the seed is planted in trenches three to six inches deep and covered
with only one to two inches of soil. When the plants are five or six inches high, fill
the trench level with the surface. This will result in deep rooting, prevent mildew
and prolong the bearing season. If the peas are covered to the full depth at first, or
if water is allowed to stand in the trenches the seed will not germinate or grow well.
The crop should be gathered as fast as it becomes fit for use, as even a few ripe pods
left on the vines tend to retard the development of the young pods and prevent the
formation of new ones.

PEPPERS
1 oz. to 1,500 plants.
Peppers should be sown either indoors or in hotbeds early
in April and transplanted to the permanent beds when about
3 inches high in two foot drills and two feet apart in the drills.
The seed can also be sown in open ground when danger from
frost is past but the crop will naturally be much later. A top
dressing of fertilizer or poultry manure well mixed with-the
soil when the plants are about 6 inches high will materially
aid in the production of a big crop.
Royal King This remarkable new variety represents
the result of 18 years of continuous se-
lection and reselection on the part of the largest and most re-
liable growers of pepper seed in this country. The type is firmly
established, producing fruit which is exceptionally uniform in
‘size, shape, color and quality. The plants grow about 244
feet high, and are vigorous; compact in their nature of
growth, and very productive, commencing to bear very
early and continuing until killed by frost. The fruit is
very large, bright and glossy and the extremely thick flesh
is sweet and mild. They will stand distant shipping and hold
up well for market as they do not wilt nor become ripe near
so quickly as Ruby King and other large varieties. This
strain is extensively grown in the South by large shippers
and under very favorable conditions a record of 800 bu. per
acre has been established. It is a decided improvement upon

If the ground you intend to use has produced a scabby crop previously or the seed shows any trace of disease, the
pieces should be soaked in a for-
maldehyde solution as a preventa
tive.
For a very early crop, run off
furrows about three feet apart and
about four inches deep. Drop the
pieces about 15 inches apart in the
turrows and cover to a depth of
about 14% inches, gradually filling
in the furrows to level as the vines
grow larger. For main crop it is
just as well to cover the eyes with
four inches of soil at once. If fer-
tilizer is used, apply it either in the
row or broadcast before planting
and be sure that it is thoroughly
mixed with the soil so that the seed
is not burned. Fresh stable ma-
nure will cause the potatoes to
become scabby.
Just before the sprouts have ap-
eared above the ground run a

Light, sandy soil, rich in organic matter is essential to pro-

seed as soon as the ground can be worked, in drills 6 to 10 inches
apart, covering the seed half an inch deep. When the plants
are well started, thin out to one inch apart in the drills. Fre-

is largely dependent upon rapid growth. For a continuous

SWEET PEAS
CALIFORNIA GROWN SUCCESSFUL EVERYWHERE
One ounce for 50 feet of row.
THE GRANDIFLORA type, owing to its vigor of growth,
its freedom of bloom and extremely wide range of colors is
well suited for most conditions and locations.
THE SPENCERS are of exceptionally large size, the petals
waved and frilled and the general effect remarkably graceful
and effective. The plants are of vigorous growth and remain
in bloom for a longer time than the Grandiflora sorts.
CULTURE.—Early in the spring make a trench three to
four inches deep in rich, mellow soil, so arranged that no
water can stand in it and plant the seed in the bottom, covering
at first only one inch deep. When the plants are two inches
high, cultivate; and as they grow, gradually fill in the trench.
When the plants are about five inches high they should be
supported by poultry netting, strings or brush. Water should
be applied thoroughly once or twice a week early in the morning
or in the evening. The blooms should be picked before they
form pods or the plants will soon stop flowering. The follow-
ing have been selected from hundreds of varieties, as being
those of the highest quality in their respective classes;

DAHLIAS
The following varieties of dahlias are selected for beauty,
utility and free flowering qualities. We offer a wide range
of colors and shades in each of the important types and can
confidently recommend them for the ornamental garden
and for cut flowers. The tubers are taken from healthy, vig-
orous, field grown clumps; are in first class condition and with
proper attention are sure to bloom and give entire satisfaction.
Dahlias do well in almost any kind of soil, but thrive best
in a medium loam. The tubers should be planted in a horizon-
tal position, with the sprout up and about four inches below,
the surface; they should be set three or four feet apart each
way in deeply spaded soil. A good plant food applied just
as the buds start to form will increase the size and improve
the color of the blooms. If large exhibition blossoms are
desired, it is absolutely necessary to disbud. After the frost
has killed the flowers, the roots should be removed from the
ground, allowed to dry for two or three days, and then stored:
away in a cool, dry, dark place where frost will not reach
them.

ALSIKE or HYBRID. (Swedish). (Trifolium hybridum).
Hardiest of all Clovers; perennial. On rich, moist soils it yields
large quantities of hay or pasturage, as it forms a thick bottom;
has fibrous roots like White Clover. Esteemed highly by bee
keepers.
MAMMOTH CLOVER. (Trifolium pratense perenne). Valu-
able with other grasses for mixed hay; ripens about with Timothy.
Being a rank grower, it is largely used for plowing under as a
fertilizer.
WHITE DUTCH. (Trifolium repens). Grows naturally in
pastures in a great variety of soils and situations; indispensable
in parks and lawns.
CRIMSON CLOVER. (Trifolium incarnatum). Being an an-
nual, it must be sown in July, August, and September of each
year, and, the spring following, can be cut for soiling by April
20th; for ensilage, May Ist to 15th; fer seed, about first week of
June. Can be grown in corn, or any cultivated crop. Ten to fifteen
pounds necessary to seed an acre. Cover with a light harrow.
(Bushel 60 lbs.)
ALFALFA or LUCERNE. (Medicago sativa). This Clover
claims to bear the palm as a forage plant, coming earliest in spring
and remaining latest in fall. It delights in plenty of sun, being a
veritable child of the sun; must be sown at the rate of from 10 to
25 pounds of seed per acre on well drained, well pulverized deep
soil after danger of freezing is over, and prefers sand or gravel sub-
soil. Wet sub-soil is fatal to the plant. Roots 3 to 4 feet deep,
and when well established lasts for years 2 to 5 crops a year can,
be cut. Not recommended for pasture. (Bushel 60 lbs.)
BOAKHARA or WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER. (Meli-
lotus alba). This slightly resembles Alfalfa in growth, but is much
taller, with leafier and stiffer stems. It frequently grows 5 to 6
feet in height and branches freely, with slender spikes of small,
fragrant, white flowers, which affcrd an excellent food for bees.
(Bushel 60 lbs.)
JAPAN CLOVER. This makes most nutritious ana desirable
summer pasture. Grows well and spreads rapidly on poor lands,
hillside and under the shade of trees. (Bushel 25 lbs.)
DROUGHT RESISTING GRASSES

excellent ior permanent pastures; starts early; very productive.
Sow 1 to 14 bushels per acre.
SHEEP’S FESCUE. (Festuca ovina). Grows naturally on light
dry, sandy soils and mountain pastures; considered quite valuable
mixed with other grasses for permanent early spring pasture.
(About 12 lbs.)
HARD FESCUE. (Festuca duriuscula). Not very productive.
but it is of a very fine quality, and thrives well in dry situations
where many other grasses would fail, thus making a desirable
pasture variety.
j MILLET
GERMAN or GOLDEN MILLET. True Southern grown Ger-
man Millet Seed is far superior to Western grown seed.
HUNGARIAN GRASS. A very valuable forage plant of the
Millet family, but not so coarse. Two ot three weeks earlier than
German Millet.

SUDAN GRASS
SUDAN GRASS
Sudan, the greatest forage crop. should be grown on every farm,
where either hay or pasture is desired. It is highly resistant to
drought and stands very heavy grazing. Yields irom 2 to 10
tons per acre, is superior to either Millet or Sorghum in feeding
quality, and may be fed in unlimited quantities.
Sow 10 to 20 lbs. per acre, 1 to 14% inches deep, the highest quality
hay resulting from heavy seeding. Should be harvested just before
the heads appear, in the same manner as other grasses. Cures
quickly and matures as early as Mullet, the first cutting being
ready in about 6 to 8 weeks.
Successive cuttings may be made every 30 to 45 days until
frost. Highly recommended by the Government as being very
nutritious and easily digestible. Being an annual, this must
be seeded every year and therefore never becomes a pest. $12.00
per 100 Ibs. Subject to change.
KAFFIR CORN
The heads are greedily eaten by horses and cattle and make
splendid food for poultry, fed either in the grain or ground and
cooked. Excellent forage. Cultivate same as common corm, re-
quiring four or five pounds per acre.
DWARF ESSEX RAPE _
This plant is extensively grown for forage, especially for sheep,
and for green manure. Prepare the ground as for turnips and
sow in June or July in rows two and a half feet apart at the rate
of two and a half pounds of seed per acre.
SORGHUM or CANE
EARL Y AMBER SORGHUM. Furnishes a large yield of most
nutritious 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. 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.
EARLY ORANGE SORGHUM. This variety is similar in growth
to Early Amber, but under fair conditions produces a heavier
crop. It is better for stock feeding than the Amber.
BUCKWHEAT
JAPANESE. This variety yields very largely. The kernels
are larger than other sorts, but owing to its branching qualities
it need not be sown so thickly. Peck, 60c.
SILVER HULL. A superior variety in every way to the ordinary
Buckwheat which it has almost entirely superseded.
OATS
WHITE SPRING OATS. Our best recleaned stock of these
are Choice Northern grown, all heavy oats, which have been re-
cleaned by us.
RUST-PROOF OATS. A favorite spring variety in the South,
particularly where the land is rich; produces enormous yield, and
excellent for cutting for hay.
CANADA FIELD PEAS
Sown in open weather during December, January, February
and March, making large yields ot 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 not equal to Cow Peas.
A light seeding of oats, rye or barley will increase the yield and
help to support the vines when the crop comes to maturity. Ready
for cutting in May and June, cures easily and makes splendid
ay.
COW PEAS
There is no surer or cheaper means of improving and increasing
the productiveness of our soils than by sowing the Cow Pea.
It has the power to extract costly nitrogen from the atmosphere
and to store the same in the vines and roots, so that the land is
enriched and its condition improved. From five to nine tons of
green fodder per acre have been produced. For ensliage 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.
BLACK. Quick to mature, adapted for late planting in Northern
sections; vigorous grower and great yielder.
BLACK EYE. A prolific vine-growing variety of merit, seed
often sold for table use.
WHIPPOORWILL. A favorite early bunch-growing variety.
A prime favorite in the North and West on account of its early
maturity and habit of growth.
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. To
plow under in the green state it 1s certainly one of the very best
plants, next to Cow Peas.
SAND or WINTER VETCH
Sometimes called Hairy Vetch. The mot valuable of all Vet-
ches. It succeeds on nearly all soils and 1s especially recommended
for poor lands, where it thrives and improve. the soil wonderfully ,
as it is very rich in nitrogen. 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 pasturing, as well as a fertilizer. 60 pounds.

MANNS’ SUPERIOR LAWN GRASS
Sow 1 pound to 200 square feet, 40 to 60 pounds per acre.
Our Superior Lawn Grass is a correctly proportioned mixture
of the very best varieties of grasses blended according to a formu-
la which has resulted from many years of study and experience.
Every variety included has its special duty to perform in the
quick production and steady maintenance of a beautiful and per-
menent lawn. Soil and climatic conditions are provided for by
including each of the grasses which flourish during the various
sea ons. There are those which develop to perfection very early
in the spring, some especially suited for resisting the heat of the
summer while others grow best during the fall and early winter.
We have also included tho e types which produce strong, fibrous
root systems holding the turt in place, preventing the soil trom
washing and holding the moisture, greatly assisting the other
varietie. Others because of their creeping nature quickly fill
up the bare spots which may be caused by the taller sorts dying
down; some particularly useful for their beautiful, velvety appear-
ance, some for drought resisting qualities and others for abil ty
to withstand very wet seasons.
Both imported and domestic grasses are procured from growers
best equipped to produce the respective sorts in their highest
quality most economically. We do not purchase an ounce of ready
mixed lawn seed and therefore we positively know our customers
FIELD
The stock we offer has been especially grown and selected for

EMERSON-BRANTINGHAM DISK HARROWS.
For Horse and Tractor Power.
If you are farming to make money, you cannot ignore the ad-
vantages and the economy of labor-saving machinery, and the
farmer who labors along without the good implements that modern
conditions demand, pays a higher price in the end.
_ The E-B Tandem Disk Harrow enables you to do more work
in shorter time and with less man labor. With one of these double
action machines one man can do the work of two men with single
disks in the same length of time and the work will be done better.
Besides it may be equipped with either a horse or tractor hitch,
which is an advantage when both kinds of power are available.
If desired, the rear section may be detached and the front section
used alone as a horse or tractor-drawn single disk harrow. Many
of our customers operating Fordson Tractors now have these
harrows in use and are highly pleased with them. Quality and
usefulness are built in. Let us send you illustrated literature and
prices.

ROCKFORD, ILL.
EMERSON-BRANTINGHAM STANDARD MOWER
E-B Standard Mowers are more easily handled, run lighter and
are more durable than any other mowing machine. The manner
in which the cutter bar is carried on the wheels, together with a
proper distribution of the weight, greatly increases the traction
power of the machine, overcomes :ide draft and weight on the
horses’ necks, giving it a powerful cutting capacity which enables
it to cut through the heaviest gra*s without materially increasing
the draft. The gear and driving mechanism is the three motion
gear and is especially valuable in obtaining the high speed required
without undue strain on any portion of the machine. This mower
has many other points of superiority and we would be pleased to
give you full information. Prices on request.

Wire Fencing
UNITED STATES POULTRY NETTING.
U. S. Poultry
Fence is strictly
a “NO SAG”
fence, as the
combination of
line and mesh
wires, closely
woven, prevents
any lengthening
or narrowing
between posts.
In erecting U.
S. Poultry Fence
the line wires
permit of being
stretched to a
high tension,
which compels i ‘
the fence to remain rigid and upright without anchoring it to a
baseboard or top rail. These features place it a long stride beyond
the Hex mesh netting, which never fails to narrow and lengthen if
you attempt to stretch it to a tension required to prevent sagging.
There is no netting on the market that compares with U. S.
Poultry Fence for strength, beauty and durability, and we invite
comparison with other makes, feeling confident that all our claims
of superiority will be substantiated. -
Made of No. 19 hard steel wire, double twisted and galvanized

THE ORIGINAL
BUTTERMILK FEEDS
CoakKegs Buttermilk Starting Feed
This superior chick mash was the first commer-
. cial poultry feed containing buttermilk; that is
why we call it the only original buttermilk
starting feed.
4 Conkey’s carries buttermilk in just the right
| proportion as an aid in prevention of bowel
| troubles, white Diarrhoea, “leg weakness,” etc.
| The butter milk is semi-solid buttermilk, blended
4 with the other ingredients by the original pro-
| cess in such a way as to preserve the appetizing,
tonic, and other properties of the newly-churned
product. Buttermilk is also rich in one of the
vitamines necessary to growing birds. It is a
wonderful appetizer, aid to digestion, and flesh
builder.
FEED IT FIRST 8 WEEKS.
Conkey’s is all the chicks need the first eight weeks, except greens,
charcoal, grit, clean water and some fine scratch grains in the
litter for exercise. Give grit and water from the start. Durng
the second week add green stuff and in the fourth week finely
cracked grains, like Conkey’s Chick Grains. Prices 23 Ibs. 20c.;
5 Ibs. 35c; 10 Ibs. 65c; 25 Ibs. $1.50; 100 Ibs. $5.50.
Conkeys Buttermilk Growing Mash
This mash is fed after the chicks are eight = —
weeks old. It is balanced for rapid and even Sp
development of muscles, bone, vital organs and
feathers. Like all Conkey mashes it is low in
fibre. clean and always uniform.
The Growing Mash differs materially from
the Starting Feed—meat scraps are added,
bone is increased, and corn decreased—growing
birds demand a heavier diet than delicate baby
chicks. Prices. 10 Ibs. 60c; 25 Ibs. $1.30; 50
Ibs. $2.50; 100 Ibs. $4.90.

No. 1 Ideal Hot-
Water Incubator
Ideal Incubators are real hatchers in spite of the fact that
they are low priced. hey have commanded respect for their
efficiency for many years, are absolutely first class in every respect
and are guaranteed to give satisfactory service.
When purchasing an Ideal you can be sure of good material,
good workmanship, efficient, practical and convenient arrange-
ment of parts, and that the hatcher has been tested before leaving
the factory.
The Ideal 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 produces 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. Every size
except No. 7 has a nursery under the egg tray.
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 guar-
anteed 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 successfully.

OIL HEATERS.
Small oil heaters and stoves are rapidly coming into general use
for a variety of purposes, and are essential to the successful ope-
ration of any poultry yard, large or small. Chickens will not drink
very much ice-cold water, but as eggs are more than 80 per cent.
water It is necessary that plenty of cool water is available regard-
less of the season of the year. These oil stoves are being used to
keep the water at a palatable temperature and very soon pay for
themselves in the increased production of eggs. These heaters are
also used for heating homemade oat sprouters and small brooders.
MOE’S FOUNTAIN HEATER. Can be used with all styles
of fountains and solves the problem of uniform supply of fresh,
clear water at all times, no matter how cold the weather. The
lamp bowl holds sufficient kerosene to burn continuously for seven
days. Simple and safe. Nothing to get out of order. Height 7
inches; diameter 11 inches. Price, $1.90 each. Shipping weight
5 pounds.
LITTLE PUTNAM STOVE. Made of galvanized iron and
equipped with a burner which embodies an entirely new principle
in oil combustion. The combustion is complete and perfect,
doubling the heat value of the oil. The oil tank holds three pints
of oil and burns three to four weeks without refilling or other at-
tention. This stove is absolutely fire-safe and non-explosive. If
it is tipped over it will go out. Size, 4 inches high and 9 inches in
diameter. Price, $2.50 each, postpaid.

WATER SUPPLIES
Meyers Electric Fresh Water System
Direct From the Well
NO STORAGE TANK
Capacity, 450 Gallons per Hr.
Just think of it; fresh water direct from the well, day or night, summer
or winter, anywhere in the house or outbuildings, supplied automatically
by merely turning the faucet.
The No. 622 A. M. system illustrated is used for shallow wells
or cisterns up to 22 feet in depth, while outfit No. 655 A. M., some-
what similar is used for deep wells.
Both systems are equipped
with one-half horsepower motors, either 32 or 110 volts, and the
pumps are the self-oiling or splash system type.
The Myers Direct Water System is of sufficient capacity to pump directly against the faucets supplying an ordinary
residence. The opening of any faucet starts the pump by releasing the air pressure against the electric switch.
The expense
of the current in operating an outfit of this class is no greater than is required for operating a pump of one-half the cap-
acity when connected with a large storage tank as they are obliged to work under a pressure of from 40 to 50 pounds, whereas
the Myers Direct Water System works under a pressure of 10 to 30 pounds only.
MYERS’ PUMP JACKS.
Well built of best materials for perfect service. No. 422 for
gasoline engine power and No. 422M for electric motor. Both are
self-lubricating, and have machine cut gears. This construction,
not only insures perfect and continuous lubrication, but protects
the moving parts from dust and dirt, greatly increasing the life
of the jack. Can be used in connection with any make pump
stand. Price, $18.00.
singe 425. Steel shafts, $15.00. No. 366. Angle iron shaft:,
MYERS SELF-OILING BULLDOZER PO WER PUMP—
FOR PNEUMATIC PRESSURE SERVICE.
No. 610A. This pump has a capacity of 450 gallons per hour
and is capable of producing 100 lbs. pressure. It has a cog gear
handle attachment which makes hand operation very easy. Also
equipped with tight and loose pulleys for power operaton. The
self oiling feature is very favorable.
Price, $50.00. For use with electric motor, $54.00.
No. 612A. Self-oiling, for power only. Capacity 500 gallons
at 70 r. p. m. Quite similar to No. 610A but has vacuum chamber
additional. Price, $47.00.
HYDRAULIC RAMS.
For elevating water by its own pressure; a very economical
means of supplying water to a storage-tank, in cases where a
natural water fall can be made available. These rams are con-
structed of iron and bronze and have always given entire satis-
faction. No. 2, $18.00; No. 3, $21.00.

Meat-and-Food Chopper
The Enterprise Chopper is the only machine on the market
which is built on a perfectly correct principle ot cutting. The
meat is fed into the hopper and by the feed screw is carried for-
ward and forced into the small holes of the plate, where it is cut
off by the revolving knife, which makes four cuts for each hole,
with every revolution of the crank. The pieces thus cut are ejected
by the meat following. Enterprise Choppers cut the meat, as
with a pair of scissors, and do not grind or tear it. It is impossible
for any strings, snews or gristle to pass through without being
chopped. All parts are interchangeable, and can be replaced at
small cost. The knives and plates being steel, they are vastly
superior to the cast-iron cutting parts of other choppers. These
choppers are made in a great number of convenient sizes to meet
all requirements, hand and power.

retain your friendship and strengthen the confidence you have in us.
