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. 


FORREST AND HILLEN STS. 


AT BELAIR MARKET 


BALTIMORE, MD. 
Varieties of Special Merit 


The following recently improved strains, however, are worthy of special consideration and 


On general stocks are unexcelled in quality and better seeds cannot be purchased at any price. 


should be grown by every progressive market gardener. 


BEANS 


Asgrow Valentine 


ASGROW VALENTINE—This new Black Valentine without 
strings was grown by market gardeners for the first time in 


1931. It is as hardy, early and prolific as the old Black 
Valentine. May be planted very early, and produces pods 


long, straight, round, stringless, meaty, a first-class shipper, 
and of excellent table quality. Qt., 30c; pk., $1.75; bu., $6.50. 


ERFURT SPECIAL (NEW)—If you grow Italian varieties 
of FAVA, BROAD BEANS, ERFURT BEANS, be sure to 
grow Erfurt Specialthis year in preference to any other 
variety. It is much earlier, extremely large and of excellent 
quality. Qt., 40c; pk., $2.50; bu., $9.00. 


BEET 


Manns’ New Early Gem 


NEW MODEL—Fills a definite need among market gar- 
deners and has met with success. Practical growers realiz- 
ing the superior quality of this strain are ordering in 25, 
50 and 100-pound lots, using this one variety throughout the 
entire season. Pkt., 10c; %4 lb., 25c; Ib., 75c; 10 Ibs., $6.50. 


CABBAGE 


*YELLOWS RESISTANT VARIETIES—The State of Wis- 
consin and several other State Departments of Agriculture 
have for a number of years been working on the best com- 
mercial cabbage varieties, adapting them to resist yellows 
or wilt. It is now possible with these resistant stocks to 
grow cabbage successfully even on diseased land, by sowing 
seed which is grown under special conditions to make it 
resistant. While the cost of this seed is somewhat higher 
than non-resistant seed, there is the added advantage of 
securing stock which has been reselected for conformity 
to true type and heading quality. Therefore these improved 
varieties are most desirable for both diseased and clean 
ground. See pages 10 and 11.

SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 


Borecole—Superior Extra Curled 


BORECOLE 


SUPERIOR EXTRA CURLED GREEN SCOTCH — More 
curled than any other Borecole and yielding many more 
bushels per acre due to its extremely vigorous growth. 
Nearly as hardy as Hardy Winter and now very popular with 
many of our customers. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 20c; 14 lb., 60c; Ib., 
$2.00. 


CURLED PERFECTION—An improved type, specially 
rogued and developed from a privately held American stock. 
Well curled and of a wonderful dark green color; winters 
well and commands top prices. Pkt., 10c; %4 Ib., 50c; Ib., $1.50. 


CANTALOUPE 


SUPERFECTO—An orange flesh, extremely thick meated, 
heavy netted round sort of medium size, and very good 
quality. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; % Ib., 50c; Ib., $1.50. 


LONG JOHN—Somewhat similar in quality and appearance 
to Bottomly, but much larger and more elongated. Has 
green flesh and commands good prices in the Baltimore 
market. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; %4 Ib., 50c; Ib., $1.75. 


CARROT 


NEW CHANTENAY—Produced from individual root se- 
lected stock, therefore a great improvement in uniformity 
of size and shape. The principal feature of this new strain, 
however, is its deep solid color. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; %4 Ib., 


40c; Ib., $1.25. 
CORN 


MANNS’ EARLY SUPERIOR —This new variety is of 
remarkable size considering its earliness. The ears are 8 
inches long and have 16 to 20 rows of rather narrow deep 
grains. The quality is excellent and the attractive appear- 
ance of the rich, tender, well-filled ears make it a very 
desirable sort for the Market Gardener. Qt., 35c; pk., $2.00; 
bu., $7.50. 


MANNS’ No. 56—The best, largest, most saleable early 
market corn we have ever known. It can be planted ex- 
tremely early without danger of rotting, which makes it pos- 
sible to produce marketable ears at least five weeks ahead of 
Stowell’s Evergreen. Resembles sugar corn, an excellent 
shipper and a money maker. Qt., 35c; pk., $2.00; bu., $7.50. 


CUCUMBER 


LONGFELLOW OR STRAIGHT PACK—This variety was 
developed primarily for greenhouse culture; its quality, size 
and attractive appearance, however, have definitely estab- 
lished it as one of the best for out-door production. The 
beautiful dark green cucumbers average 12 inches in length 
and are adaptable for packing in flats for the very highest 
class trade. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; %4 Ib., 60c; lb., $2.00. 


LETTUCE 


NEW YORK SPECIAL—Ten days to two weeks earlier 
than regular New York. Slightly smaller but more uniform 
in heading and greatly resistant to excessive heat. Pkt., 10c; 
0z., 20c; %4 Ib., 60c; Ib., $2.00. 


y 


RUTABAGA 


NEW CANADIAN—Grown for a number of years in the 
North and held very closely by private individuals, the seed 
of this variety has always been extremely difficult to procure 
in a true and reliable type. After three years of searching 
and checking in our trial grounds, we have found the correct 
strain and offer it with every assurance that it will soon 
become the only Rutabaga grown in this section. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 15c; %4 Ib., 40c; Ib., $1.25. 


SQUASH 


GREEN TINTED—Preferred by market gardeners by rea- 
son of true decided light green color, even when fully ma- 
tured. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; %4 lb., 40c; lb., $1.25. 


TOMATOES 


BREAK O’DAY—Ten days earlier than Marglobe. Very 
productive; promises to be very profitable Market Gardeners 
variety. See page 33. Pkt., 10c; oz. 50c; % Ib., $1.35; 
Ib., $5.00. 

IMPROVED ADVANCE—An extra early, large tomato of 
high quality, round or slightly flattened shape, and excep- 
tionally smooth for such an early variety. Pkt., 10c; oz., 
50c; %4 Ib., $1.50; Ib., $5.00. 


MANNS’ SPECIAL STRAIN BONNY BEST—Our special 
strain of Bonny Best has become a favorite among large 
growers for the early market. It is truly so superior to 
the ordinary stocks that it might rightfully be considered a 
new variety. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 14 lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50. 


MANNS’ SPECIAL MARGLOBE—This well known variety 
has been subjected to so many varying conditions and de- 
grees of care in the matters pertaining to seed production 
that ordinary commercial stocks of it are far below the 
standard of the late Dr. Pritchard’s original introduction. 
By using extreme care in rogueing, however, we have main- 
tained the true Marglobe type, which is far superior to 
eae commercial stocks. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 40c; % Ib., $1.35; 


PEMBERTON —Different entirely from all the new cross 
breeds of the Marglobe, Break O’Day and Scarlet Topper 
types and not to be confused with any of them. Pemberton 
is a large, solid, smooth, deep oval shaped, main crop variety 
of a brilliant scarlet color all through; it yields a heavy 
crop commanding highest prices for either market or pack- 
ing house purposes. Pkt., 25c; oz., $1.00; % Ib., $3.00; Ib., 


$10.00. 
BROCCOLI 


CALABRESE GREEN SPROUTING OR HEADING — The 
accompanying illustration shows the center head of Cala- 
brese Broccoli greatly reduced. After this is cut, numerous 
sprouts develop, forming smaller heads which are also mar- 
ketable. Broccoli is becoming very popular, commanding 


high prices, and should be grown more extensively by Mary- 
land truckers. 


Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; %4 Ib. $1.50; Ib., $5.00.

ish 


Just another instance of extra care, extra labor and extra expense in order to produce 
seeds which will measure up to the high standard of Manns’ Superior Quality 


RADISH 


SCARLET GLOBE FORCING—Manns’ transplanted root 
selected stock. Ordinary commercial stocks of Radish are 
produced from seed without digging the roots for inspection. 
Manns’ Transplanted Root Selected Stock, however, is grown 
from hand-picked roots, assuring perfection which cannot 
be surpassed. % Ib, 20c; lb., 60c; 10 Ibs., $5.50; 100 lbs., 


$50.00. 
SPINACH 


OLD DOMINION—A later seeding type of Virginia Yellows 
Resistant Savoy which stands 12 to 15 days longer, having 
about the same season of growth as our Extra Dark Green 
Savoy. With Old Dominion it is now possible to successfully 
grow an early spring crop on diseased soil, where it was 
previously necessary to take chances with the early seeding 
character of Virginia Blight Resistant. Lb., 35c; 10 Ibs., 
$2.75; 25 lbs., $6.50; 100 Ibs., $25.00. 


SOUTHLAND SUMMER—New special strain of Swiss 
Chard more closely resembling real Spinach, producing large 
heavily crumpled leaves of a bright green color. Will even- 
tually replace New Zealand. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; %4 lb., 25c; 
Ib., 75c. 


SORREL 


NARROW LEAVED—Growing in favor with Market Gar- 
deners in preference to the French Broad Leaved, on account 
of its long slender attractive bright green leaves. Pkt., 10c; 
OZa7 2063) 2401D:, acs ID:, $2.20. 


ASPARAGUS 


1 ounce to 60 feet of drill; 1 pound per acre; 
3,000 plants per acre. 

Sow in spring in drills about eighteen inches apart and 
two inches deep in light, rich soil, planting fifteen to twenty 
seeds to each foot of row. Thin to about one inch apart and 
give frequent and thorough cultivation during the summer. 

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. After the final cutting, give a good dressing 
of manure, ashes and salt. 

MARY WASHINGTON—Superior to Martha Washington 
and Washington Pedigree, in quality and equally resistant 
to disease. It is larger and earlier and produces remark- 
ably tender dark green stalks with very compact purplish 
green tips. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 15c; %4 Ib., 35c; Ib., $1.25. 


SPINACH 


We offer improved strains, grown in Holland by the orig- 
inators of these strains; extensively imitated by other Hol- 
land growers, but universally recognized as the most supe- 
rior types ever produced. 


See pages 30 and 31. 


ASPARAGUS ROOTS 


From one to two years may be saved by planting Asparagus 
roots instead of seed. Choice, 2-year-old roots, all leading 
varieties. $1.25 per 100; $8.00 per 1,000. MARY WASHING- 
TON, $1.25 per 100; $8.50 per 1,000. 


ARTICHOKE 


LARGE GREEN GLOBE—About 500 plants from 1 ounce. 
The scale-like leaves of the flower heads are used as a salad 
or boiled, making a delicious dish which is very popular with 
the French and Italians. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 50c; % Ib., $1.50; 
Ib., $5.00. 


JERUSALEM OR TUBEROUS ROOTED —Grown exclu- 
sively for their large potato-like roots which are valuable 
for feeding hogs. Price, 4 pk., 45c; pk., $1.25; bu., $4.00. 
Expressage extra.

BUSH BEANS 


1 pint to 100 feet of drill; 1 to 1% bushels per acre. 


Beans are tender and should not be planted until the soil is well warmed. 
Sowing too early will often result in a poor stand and uneven ripening. Sow the 
seed 14% 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 workine 
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. 


ROUND GREEN PODDED VARIETIES 


Asgrow (Stringless Black Valentine.) Fully as early as the regular stringy 
Black Valentine but producing exceptionally long, oval or nearly 
round pods. Extremely prolific, entirely stringless, and of highest quality. 


Burpee’s. Stringless Green Pod 2s variety bas ust neva 


very popular and can be profit- 
ably grown by either trucker or home gardener. It combines vigor, earliness 
and productiveness. The pods are produced in abundance and are handsome in 
appearance, being rich dark green in color, smooth, absolutely round, meaty, 
stringless, free from fiber, and of exceptionally delicate quality. Mature for 
picking condition in 45 days. 


New Stringless Green Pod This new highly productive strain has 


many Full Measure characteristics bred 
into it. Its prolific nature, season of growth, length, roundness of pods and 
appearance, are definitely inherited and yet to these very desirable features has 
been added a wonderful degree of hardiness which helps New Stringless with- 


Burpee’s Stringless. 


Full Measure Stringless 


stand adverse weather conditions better than its parent stock. 


Giant Stringless Green Pod 


A very productive long, round-podded 
variety, longer and straighter than 


A second early, round-podded, stringless 
bean of recent introduction. The pods are 
straight, meaty, and are dark green in color. They are entirely stringless and 


Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod measure 6 to 8 inches in length. Very prolific. 


Dwarf Horticultural or Dwarf Cherry One of the best dwarf sorts for green shell beans sor he home 


garden and market and can be used early as a snap bean. As 
a green shelled bean it is equal to the lima in quality while any surplus crop can be kept for winter use. The pods are 5 
inches long, stout, fat and stringless. They are green at first changing as they mature to yellow splashed with carmine. 


The dried seeds are large, almost round, light buff spotted with dark red. Our 
special stock of this variety is superior to the old style Dwarf Cherry, being 
entirely stringless and free from runners. 


Black Valentine This variety has proven itself to be the most hardy 


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 
in the season. They should be picked as soon as ready as they will become 
tough if allowed to remain on the vines too long. 


Late Refugee or Thousand-To-One ‘°te4 for its great produc- 


tiveness, this variety has 
gained favor for canning and pickling. The dense foliage protects the pods from 
early frosts, thereby prolonging the season. The pods measure 5 to 5% inches, 
are round, somewhat slender, almost stringless and of good quality. 


FLAT PODDED GREEN STRINGLESS 


; Extra early, green pod, good cropper, hardy, prolific; pods long, 
Bountiful straight, thick-flat, entirely stringless, good quality. The best 
extra early, semi-round variety.

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 bearing 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 4 to 6 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. Cultivate frequently but shallow. 


; The Early Leviathan stands supreme because of its combined 
f 
Early Leviathan qualities, earliness, size and productiveness. The large, well 
filled pods are borne in clusters of five to ten and are spaced over the entire vine. They 
are well filled with large fleshy beans of excellent quality, delicate pale green in color. 


, sgy A very desirable pole lima for the home and market garden, producing 
Carpinteria an abundance of large four-seeded medium green pods. The color is 
distinctive in having a decided greenish tint, an indication of very finest quality. The 
beans are thin skinned, delicious flavor and retain the distinctly green tinge even when 
dried. 


Ideal One of the largest and most valuable of the medium late varieties, producing a 

tremendous crop of seven-inch pods, which are filled with five to six large beans 
of excellent quality. Seed large, ovid, flat white with slight greenish tinge. Splendid 
for market gardeners. 


King of the Garden This is the best and most popular main crop variety. 


YH, Vines are strong and vigorous; setting pods early and 
continuing to bear until frost. Is used extensively by market gardeners because of its 
very prolific nature and the immense size of the pods, which are very straight and hand- 
some; of medium dark green color, broad, flat and filled with four or five large white 
beans of finest quality. 


4 Vigorous, productive, and quite early, producing 
Challenger or Dreer’s Pole pods which are much thicker than any other 


sort and filled with four thick beans so closely set that the ends are flattened. A favor- 
ite among market gardeners. 


Giant Podded The largest podded lima in cultiva- 


tion; extremely vigorous in growth, 
mid-season. Pods are borne in clusters of 6 to 8 and 
measure 7 inches long and 1% inches broad. The beans 
are extra large and of excellent quality. 


BUSH LIMA BEANS 


Large seeded sorts, 1 qt. to 100 hills; 1 bu. to the acre. 
Small seeded sorts, 1 qt. to 150 hills; 3 pks. to the acre. 


These varieties require no support, are about two weeks 
earlier than the pole beans, and can be planted closer in 
the rows. They are therefore used by large growers and 
by gardeners who do not find it convenient to use poles. Early 
After danger of frost is past and the ground has become [Leviathan 
warm, plant in 3 foot rows dropping 38 seeds to a hill and 
the hills 15 inches apart. 


Early Giant Bush Lima The largest and earliest bush lima; two weeks 


earlier than Fordhook, very prolific and of excel- 
lent quality. Pods contain 4 to 5 large, close setting beans, and are borne in clusters 
of 5 to 8. Plant very vigorous and upright, often attaining a height gee inches. 
, A most excellent variety and exceedingly popular 
Fordhook Bush Lima with market gardeners. The plants are freely 
branching and very erect in their growth. Four or five large, very thick beans are 
contained in each pod and the plants continue to produce large quantities from July 
ant arpee The green beans even when full size are tender, juicy and sweet when 
cooked. 
r4 , A ve rolific mid-season variety of 
Burpee’s Improved Bush Lima very shards, vigorous and true bush 
growth, bearing clusters of 5 to 8 pods measuring 5 to 6 inches long. The pods are 
borne abundantly, enormous in size and well filled with handsome beans which are 
both larger and thicker than those of the regular Burpee’s Bush Lima. 


Wood’s Prolific or Henderson’s Improved Bush Lima 


A very early and vigorous type, producing an abundance of 3 to 4-inch pods; contain 
4 small, flat, white beans of good quality.

As early as Crosbys Egyptian, extremely dark red and not a 
purple or brown root in the lot. The most critical produce 
buyer will be pleased with its intense color, perfect shape 
and freedom from zones. It has plenty of tops for bunching 
and while it is also an excellent canners variety it should 
not be confused with the various “all purpose” sorts devel- 
oped mainly for packing house purposes. 


> . 
Crosby s Egyptian in color, tender, sweet and 
richly palatable when served. This should not be confused 
with Flat Egyptian as it is similar only in point of earliness. 
Perfect in shape and of a beautiful 
New Model red color, very uniform in shape and 
size, the entire crop maturing during the same week. 
Forces well under glass. This variety fills a definite 
need among the market gardeners and has met with 
success. Practical growers realizing the superior qual- 
ity of this strain are ordering in 25, 50 and 100-pound 
lots, using this one variety throughout the entire season. 
Being entirely free from white zones, extremely dark, 


smooth, with short tops and excellent quality, it always 
commands the highest market price.

quality and real beauty. 


TABLE BEETS 


1 ounce to 50 feet of drill; 5 pounds 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 soil 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 of May while for winter use 
they may be planted up to July Ist. 


Extra Early Flat Egyptian earliest, excellent 


for forcing and early crop. Roots are distinctly flat, very 
dark red, have very small tap root and are of fine quality 
when young. They measure 2 inches in diameter when 
mature and have very small tops. 


Manns’ Early Spring Being extremely early, of 


a wonderful dark red color, 
and of exceptional quality, Manns’ Early Spring Beet offers 
an unusual opportunity for profitable production. 


Detroit Dark Red Careful comparison with other 


prominent strains of this va- 
riety show that our stock is unsurpassed in quality and 
appearance. The tops are small and upright in growth and 
the roots are globular, of medium size, very smooth and of 
a wonderful dark red color throughout. Very desirable for 


canning. : 4 

, An excellent packers variety develope 
Ohio Canner at the Ohio Experiment Station. Grows 
to about 1% inch diameter and remains that size for several 
weeks. A Detroit Dark Red type but not having sufficient 
top to be a satisfactory bunching sort.

Extensively grown in this section for market- 
ing during the winter months, when other vege- 
tables are scarce. Borecole should be grown like 
cabbage, the seed being sown from early spring 
to the middle of August. It is customary to pull 
off the lower leaves and let the plant grow on 
to furnish a continuous supply.

Well curled and of a wonderful dark green color; 
winters well and commands top prices. 
, This variety is one of the 
Hardy Winter most salable and profitable 
sorts for either the home or market gardener. 
The plant attains a height of 18 inches and pro- 
duces an abundance of beautiful light green 
leaves, which are densely curled and crimped. It 
is extremely hardy and has the additional advan- 
tage of putting forth a second crop of leaves after 
the first have been gathered or have fallen off. 


Superior Extra Curled Green 


The leaves of this variety are very 
Scotch much more curled than the Dwarf- 
Green Scotch, and many more bushels per acre

1 ounce to 150 feet of drill; 4 pounds per acre. 


Our stock is grown from choice selected and transplanted 
roots only, and are of the truest type and richest color 
money can procure. 

CULTURE.—Any good soil will grow this vegetable, but 
the most perfect roots, however, are developed in rich, fri- 
able 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 cul- 
tivation. 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 is 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. 


Early Horn The most popular forcing variety, pro- 


ducing top-shaped reddish-orange roots 


about three inches long. 

Very stout and thick, end- 

Oxheart or Guerande ing in an abrupt small tap 

root, easily harvested and can be grown in very shallow soils 
where other sorts would not thrive. Quality excellent. 

A most excellent, 


Chantenay or Model Carrot medium early, 


half-long variety. Very uniform, stump-rooted but tapering 
slightly. They are smooth, deep orange-red in color and the 
flesh is very crisp and tender. Although a medium early 
sort the roots are suitable for use nearly as early as any, 
and will also prove very satisfactory if grown for winter use. 
Very easily harvested and bunched. 

Produced from individual root se- 


New Chantenay lected stock, therefore a great im- 


provement in uniformity of size and shape. The principal 
feature of this new strain, however, is its deep solid color. 


J. MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. [9] 


Chantenay 


, This variety has become a favorite with our 
Sunrise market garden trade because of its fine quality, 
perfect shape and attractive color. Sunrise has been found 
to be specially valuable for medium and late use, an excel- 
lent keeper and thoroughly dependable. It is of most per- 
fect form, pointed-rooted, with a broad, high shoulder. For 
main planting this sort has no superior, and when sown dur- 
ing June may be depended upon to produce the very best 
crop of roots to store for winter. 


Danvers Half Long Carrot for private and market 


garden use. It is slightly longer than Chantenay and our 
strain produces uniformly smooth and evenly sized roots of 
handsome appearance. They are orange-red in color and the

The Breeding of character and quality into our cabbage and other varieties of seeds is your assurance of successful crops. 


CABBAGE 


1 oz. for 2,000 plants; 1% Ib. 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 plant- 
ings 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 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 feet apart and 2 feet apart in the rows; these 
will mature from September to November.

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 vigor- 
ous 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 8 feet apart and 18 inches apart 
in the row. 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. 


The best early variety in cultiva- 
Early Snowball tion. If planted March Ist, large 


heads will be produced early in June, and scarcely a single 
plant will fail to form a head.

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 fre- 
quently 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. nih 

is new strain of Golden Self- 
Golden Plume Blanching 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 
ecrown-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 quality and appear- 
ance Golden Plume offers a splendid opportunity to Market 
Gardeners. Celery Growers in New York and New Jersey 
have met with tremendous success using this variety. 


French Golden Yellow Self-Blanching 


(Originator’s Stock.) Our strain of this very popular sort 
cannot be excelled in quality or appearance. The plants 
are of medium size, compact and stocky, with yellowish 
green foliage. The stalks are solid, crisp, tender, free from 
strings and of a fine nutty flavor. 


Easy Bleacher T° weeks later than Golden Self- 


Blanching. Blanches readily and is a 
great favorite with Southern growers who usually plant a 
full crop of this one sort. Vigorous in growth and a splen- 
did keeper. 


Winter Queen 


Of medium height, an excellent winter 
keeping sort, producing thick creamy 


white stalks which are broad, very solid and crisp. The 
hearts are large and it blanches well. 

A distinct variety of sturdy dwarf 
Golden Heart habit. It is solid, and an excellent 


keeper, and of fine nutty flavor. When blanched, the heart, 
which is large and full, is of a light yellow, making it ex- 
ceedingly showy and desirable for either market or private 


use. 

, An exceptionally fine, early variety. The 
Columbia plant is of medium height, but very stocky, 
foliage is a light shade of green with yellow tinge, and the 
stalks are thick, almost round, and resemble Giant Pascal in 
shape, but are of a rich, yellow color. 

, A superior keeping sort. The stalks 
Giant Pascal are very large, thick, solid, crisp and 
of rich nutty flavor; it blanches very easily and quickly, 
and retains its freshness a long time.

LETTUCE 


1 ounce to 2,500 plants; 3 pounds 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 re- 
moved as soon as danger of severe freezing is past. Lettuce 
in the open ground will stand some freezing but is killed by 
prolonged frost or frequent freezing 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 varieties suit- 
able for the season. 

The plants should stand 8 to 10 inches apart in the rows, 
and the rows should be about 18 inches apart. 

A very bright green and attrac- 


All-Heart Lettuce tive variety. It forms large, 


solid heads, composed of thick, smooth, very tender leaves, 
the inner ones finely blanched and all of the finest quality. 
It remains a long time in head before running to seed.

Manns’ New York or Wonderful is used by the largest commercial growers 


The plant is compact and forms a large, flat, 
Hanson cabbage-like head, and is so slow to form a 
seed stalk that it often fails to seed at all. Outer leaves 
bright green, with prominent light-colored veins; inner 
leaves white and usually curved and twisted at the base; 
very tender and sweet; a favorite variety for home use. 


Iceberg sre NEW YORK OR WONDERFUL. 


Improved Mammoth Salamander &722,3 
hard-heading Cabbage Lettuce. Plants 12 inches across with 
extra large, solid round heads that are particularly rich and 
buttery in flavor; always well blanched and tender. The 
inner leaves are beautifully white and curled like a fine 
Savoy Cabbage. Splendid for summer use, both for the 
home table and for market. Most highly recommended. 


7 This variety, intro- 
Manns’ Defiance Summer 17's, pape ia oe 
years ago, has made a very eventful impression upon the 
grower, as well as the consumer. It forms handsome, solid 
heads of enormous size, which remain in good salable con- 
dition long after all others have gone to seed. The flavor 
is excellent; the leaves are beautiful light green. Very 
profitable for market gardeners. 


; Extremely early, compact cabbage or head- 
May King ing variety, forming very firm heads of

value are identically the same as Big Boston, but it is pre- 
ferred by market gardeners because of its being a solid

leaves; its heads are larger and of better appearance than 
Big Boston.

more elongated. Has green flesh and commands good prices 
in the Baltimore market. 


Honey Ball Possess characteristics that make it one 


of the finest melons that has ever been 
offered to the grower, the shipper and the consumer. Ex- 
ceedingly prolific, producing as many as fifteen to twenty 
large cantaloupes to the plant. Every commercial grower 
and home gardener should have at least a trial patch of 


Honey Ball. 

A melon of the Cassaba type. The fruit 
Honey Dew is large, oval in form, about 10 inches 
long and 8 inches in diameter; thick flesh is light green in 
color, ripening to the rind, very tender, with an extreme 
sweetness. The vines are vigorous and set 6 to 10 melons 
to the hill. An excellent shipper, will keep for several weeks 
even when fully ripe. 


SALMON FLESHED VARIETIES 
Early Imperial or Hale’s Best. Thousands of acres 


of this vigorous and prolific variety 
are grown annually in the Imperial Valley of California for 
shipment to eastern markets, and being the very earliest of 
all high quality shipping melons, it should be grown exten- 
sively in Maryland and Virginia. The fruits average 7 
inches long and 5 inches in diameter, are well netted and 
ribbed, and have very thick, salmon-tinted, fine grain flesh, 
which ripens clear to the rind. Its good, sweet flavor makes 
it equally desirable for the home garden. 


Of all the cantaloupes grown, this has the 
Superfecto thickest salmon-colored flesh, and with a 


triangular seed cavity. It is of the characteristic cantaloupe 
size and shape; thoroughly covered with a fine netting.

1 ounce for 50 hills; 3 pounds per acre. 


The most suitable soil for melons is a warm, sandy 
loam, well worked and enriched with rotted manure. 
After danger from frost is over, sow ten to twelve seeds 
to a hill, about 2 inches deep; the hills being six feet 
apart each way. When the plants have the second pair 
of leaves and danger from insects is past, thin out to 
four plants to a hill. Cultivate frequently, deeply away 
from the plants and shallow close to them. When hoe- 
ing, remove the crust from around the plants and re- 
place with fine, loose soil.

To grow large bulbs 1 ounce to 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 pounds to the acre. 
To grow sets 10 ounces to 100 feet of drill; 50 pounds 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 allowed 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. 

“ . 9 This is the most popular 
White Silver Skin, or Portugal {his js the, most popu

The bulbs grow to good size, ripening early and quite evenly. The flesh 
is mild and sweet, the thin skin a clear silvery white, of handsome appear- 
ance if the bulbs are gathered as soon as ripened and carefully dried 
under shelter away from the strong sunlight. When seed is sown at the 
rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre, it makes bulbs of suitable size and most 
desirable for pickling. 

, Very fine and very early variety. Bulbs when well 
White Pearl grown are large, round, flattened, with a delicate pure 
white skin; flesh very mild in flavor. In the South this variety is largely 
planted for sets.

Mammoth Silver King flattened, but quite thick through, with 

/ silvery white skin, frequently measuring 20 inches in circumference. It 

matures quite early, coming just after Onions grown from sets are gone. 

White Silver Skin Onion Must be sown thinly to produce large onions. 


Southport White Globe Pure white, true globe form with very 


crisp flesh, exceedingly mild and fine 
grained, usually commands highest prices. 
One of the best for the production of large onions for Fall

acre than any other set onion. Somewhat similar to Flat Danvers in color 
and shape but a trifle thicker and very much larger in circumference. They 
are very mild, excellent keepers, rapid growers and very few go to seed. 
The appearance, size, quality and wonderful yields of this variety give it a

The peas will give quicker returns if covered only one inch deep, and where

shippers to Northern mar- 
kets, producing a very early crop of large, broad, well-filled, 
dark green pods. Equally as hardy as Extra Early Alaska 
and much larger. The vines usually grow three feet high 
and the crop will remain fresh a long time after picking. 


Improved Pilot A very early smooth pea with large 


pods. Very productive, can be 
planted early, vines three feet.

Laxtonian This is one of the finest 


dwarf early peas. The vines 
grow 18 to 20 inches high and produce an enor- 
mous crop of dark green pods as large as 
Gradus, maturing a few days ahead of this 
variety. 


Alderman One of the best long vined, 


main crop varieties. Hardy, 
prolific, producing vines 3% to 4 feet in length. 
Pods large, pointed, dark green in color. Ma- 
turing about the same time as the Admiral

; One of the 
Gradus or Prosperity ee 
early, long-strawed, wrinkled varieties. Pro- 
duces long pointed pods, well filled and of fine 
table quality. Vines from 2% to 3 feet in 
length. Considered one of the most desirable 
for the market garden or home use.

growth, 20 to 24 inches in height, 


with luxuriant dark foliage, bearing pods 
medium green in color, 3% to 4 inches in 
length. Broad and pointed at the ends. No

pods could possibly shell out better. The Potlatch is a 
variety from which everyone may expect great things. Fit 
for table use 61 days from planting. Seed green, wrinkled, 
large in size. 


Wonder. 


This variety is of the same growth 


Thomas Laxton as that of the Gradus, but is usually 
three to four days later for market. The pods are square at 
the ends instead of having a long, sloping point, and con- 
sidered by some to be of a better flavor than the Gradus. 

The best late or main crop Pea. 
Dwarf Defiance Produces a medium length vine and 
an abundance of large, long pointed pods of a rich dark

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. 


, Plants grow about 2% feet high, and are vigorous; 
Royal King compact 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 other large varieties. This 
strain is extensively grown in the South by large shippers and deserves 
the attention of every trucker and home gardener. 

, The earliest medium large pepper in cultivation; 
Early Giant being earlier than Neapolitian. The plants are very 
uniform in growth, dwarf and compact, seldom over 18 inches in height, 
and very productive. Fruits pendant, mild and sweet, similar to Bull 
Nose in form. 

, A variety of Mango Pepper which is of a desirable size 
Ruby Giant and shape for stuffing. A cross of Ruby King and 
Chinese Giant. Grows to large size and is very mild. 

. , Its large, smooth, extremely heavy, very mild, thick 
California Wonder flesh, make this variety truly a wonder. Combining 
the excellent quality of the Pimento and the size of Crimson Giant, California 
Wonder is being grown for all purposes. Plants are sturdy, productive and 
. slightly spreading, bearing five to nine large glossy fruits to a setting, averaging 

Royal King Pepper one-half pound each. Deserves the attention of every pepper grower. 

, . A medium early, prolific, per- 
Pimento or Perfection fectly mild variety with ex- 
tremely thick flesh. On account of its thick flesh it will hold up for 
a long time, and is an excellent sort for canning whole.

MAINE GROWN 


SEED POTATOES 


LET US QUOTE PRICES ON HIGHEST QUALITY SEED ON BASIS OF LOWEST MARKET VALUE 


Potatoes will adapt themselves to various soil conditions as easily as most vegetables. 
however, on a sandy loam which contains a quantity of well rotted vegetable matter. 


A better crop will be produced, 
A clover sod, vetches turned under in 


the fall, or land which was heavily manured for a previous crop supply ideal conditions. 


In preparing the seed the eyes should be cut so that the largest part of the surrounding flesh is situated toward the 
stem end, because the eyes of a potato always have a root system running toward that end and for that reason the sprouts 


cannot draw moisture from the opposite direction. 


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 disinfected as a preventative. 


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 furrows and cover to a 
depth of about 1% 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 fertilizer 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 manure will cause the potatoes to 
become scabby. 


Just before the sprouts have appeared 
above the ground run a light harrow over 
them to kill the weeds and break up the 
crust. Continue weeding and harrowing 
until there is danger of breaking off too 
many sprouts. Cultivate thoroughly and 
frequently, being careful not to cut any of 
the roots, continuing until the vines have 
attained full growth and begin to spread. 


Spraying for insects and blight is very 
necessary, Pyrox giving very satisfactory 
results. 


The size and quality of the crop and the 
ability to resist disease is directly depen- 
dent upon the seed planted and no amount 
of cultivation or attention will offset the 
uncontrollable results of poor seed. Be 
sure of your crop and plant only the best 
Maine grown seed potatoes.

1 oz. for 100 feet of drill; 9 lbs. per acre. 


Light, sandy soil, rich in organic matter is essential to produce 
crisp and tender radishes. For an early crop sow the seed as soon 
as the ground can be worked, in drills 6 to 10 inches apart, cover- 
ing the seed half an inch deep. When the plants are well started, 
thin out to one inch apart in the drills. Frequent watering in dry 
weather is very beneficial as high quality is largely dependent upon 
rapid growth. For a continuous supply, successive plantings should 
be made at intervals of 10 days to two weeks, selecting varieties 
best suited for the season.

OUR IMPROVED STRAINS ARE GROWN BY THE ORIGINATORS 
AND WHEN BETTER QUALITY IS PRODUCED WE ARE 
ALWAYS AMONG THE FIRST TO OFFER IT. 


One of the most staple vegetables of the American table, possessing 
highly valuable and health giving qualities; easily grown, requiring but 
little attention and in sections where the soil is rich, very profitable 
crops are produced. 

Select a rich piece of ground, the richer the better; and for late 
spring and early summer use, sow the seed during February, March and 
April in drills one foot to 20 inches apart, one-half to one inch deep. 
When the plants are well started thin out to 4 to 6 inches apart, or 
sow the seed thinly and allow all the plants to stand. 

For winter and early spring use, sow either in drills or broadcast 
during August, September and October. A top dressing of Nitrate of 
Soda will make a vast improvement in the earliness, size and quality of 
the crop. 


Virginia Blight Resistant Bloomsdale 
Savoy Spinach 


Manns’ Reselected Bloomsdale Savoy 


This strain has been developed in response to the urgent de- 
mand on the part of large spinach growers for an improve- 
ment in the quality of the regular commercial Bloomsdale 
grown in Holland. 

The crops produced from it are so far superior in quality 
to the regular commercial stocks of Bloomsdale Savoy, that 
practically all large growers are using it to the exclusion of 
the un-selected stock. There is just a little difference in the 
prices of the seed but the market value of the crop is greatly 
increased. Manns’ Reselected Savoy cuts more bushels per 
acre because of its perfectly savoyed luxuriant growth, and 
commands a higher price per bushel because of its fancy 
quality. 

The plants are large, heavy, uniform and in every way 
especially re-selected to match the ideal Bloomsdale Savoy 
type. 


Virginia Blight Resistant Bloomsdale 


A strain of Bloomsdale Savoy especially developed by the 
Virginia Experimental Station for the purpose of resisting 
the disease commonly called yellows. Used extensively in 
the vicinity of Norfolk and in other sections where blight 
is encountered. 

Being an American sort, it matures very quickly and is 
therefore preferred by some growers for early Fall sowing. 
Our seed is grown from thoroughly reliable, genuine Vir- 
ginia Blight Resistant stock. 


Old Dominion

With old Dominion it is now possible to

was previously necessary to take chances with the early seediug 
character of Virginia Blight Resistant.

Manns’ Extra Dark Green Savoy 4s, it 
important introductions of new strains having real merit, 
we are among the first in America to offer this improved 
type of Bloomsdale Savoy. It is only about two days later 
than Reselected, but the plants are larger, less liable to bolt 
to seed, more heavily crumpled and of more upright growth. 
The very dark green color, however, is its chief advantage 
and in making the selections for this deep color the plant 
breeder has also improved the strain in its savoyed charac- 
teristics and absolute freedom from smooth leaved plants. 
Some of the most successful spinach growers in this sec- 
tion have already reported this new strain a very profitable 
crop.

Holland Field of Early Long Standing Savoy for Seed 


Manns’ Early Long Standing Savoy N°": 


ly as 
early as reselected savoy but has the very valuable advantage 
of standing in perfect condition, without bolting to seed, 10 
to 14 days longer than other varieties. This feature is worth 
thousands of dollars to spinach growers, for with this variety 
it is possible to market the crop when it is convenient and 
advantageous for the grower to do so. Many severe losses 
have been incurred because cutters were not available, weather 
eonditions unfavorable, or prices were too low, but Early Long 
Standing will wait for cutters, for weather, and for prices. 


Long Season Very successfully grown for supplying 


local markets during warm weather when 
other varieties have gone to seed. The beautiful large plants 
are in prime condition in about 50 days and remain market- 
able for 15 to 20 days. Somewhat earlier than Juliana and 
producing extremely dark glossy green leaves, thoroughly 
savoyed, thick and firm in texture. 


Princess Juliana Greatly resembling savoy as the 


picture opposite will show; much 
slower in growth, however, and very late in going to seed. 
The ideal variety for late spring sowing, as it thrives well 
in warm weather and is in great demand as long as the 
weather permits shipping. 


Hollandia—Giant Smooth Leaved Te: ™st 


popular 
variety in Holland for home use and largely used by Western 
packers of fancy canned goods because of its excellent quality 
and very dark green color. The flat, extremely heavy leaves 
do not ship well but are ideal for the grower who contracts 
bv weight. 


Southland Summer New special strain of Swiss 


: : Chard more closely resembling 
real spinach, producing large heavily crumpled leaves of a 
bright green color. Will eventually replace New Zealand. 


(TETRAGONIA EXPANSA) Not related 

New Zealand to regular spinaches but forming larger 

spreading plants producing fleshy brittle tips and leaves which 

ne used as spinach. Of delightful flavor and practically ever- 
earing.

1 oz. for 50 feet of drill. 

Requires a well enriched, mellow 
soil, which, previous to sowing the 
seeds, should be stirred to a depth of 
18 inches. Sow early in the spring in 
drills 15 inches apart; cover the seed 
with fine soil 1% inches in depth, and 
when the plants are strong enough 
| thin out to 6 inches apart. As the 
leaves resemble grass, be careful they 
are not mistaken for it when weeding.

drills early in spring. When well 
started thin out to stand 4 to 6

can be gathered for use at any time 
after the plants are well started in 
growth, and the roots will continue 
to produce a further supply. The 
plant is entirely hardy, and, starting into growth early the 
following spring, will afford a large supply of fine “greens” 
quite early. - 7

TOMATOES 


1 oz. to 2,000 plants; % Ib. per acre. 


All our tomato seeds are grown from stocks, exclusively for seed purposes, by the originators, experienced growers and 
experts. We are fully convinced of the merit of all new varieties before placing them in our catalog, and therefore strongly 
recommend our strains as being absolutely reliable. 

For early, the seed should be sown in hotbeds 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 allowing a single plant to the 
pot. Expose to the air as much as possible to harden. Water freely at time of transplanting, 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. 


SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS [33] 


Extra Early Varieties 


An extra early, large tomato 
Improved Advance of high quality, round or 


slightly flattened shape, and exceptionally smooth for such 
an early variety. As early and hardy as Earliana and yield- 
ing more fruit both in the first and subsequent pickings. 
It is more shapely, more free from cracks and shows less 
green about the stem than other extra early sorts. With 
Improved Advance the grower can produce a crop which 
will stand superior in appearance and quality, in compe- 
tition with the other extra earlies and command the fancy 


prices of an early market. 
3 Dr. Fred J. Pritchard of the U. S. Dept. 
Break O Day of Agriculture describes his new crea- 
tion as follows: “Very productive, early variety, highly re- 
sistant to wilt and somewhat resistant to blights. Fruits 
large, smooth, meaty, red, globular.” 


It is a cross between Marglobe and Marvana combining 
the quality, appearance and yield of Marglobe with the early 
type vine growth of Marvana. Both parent stocks are dis- 
ease resistant. Trials in Florida, and in the North indicate 
that Break O’Day will become the most important early 
tomato, as it is about ten days earlier than Marglobe, and 
while it is slightly smaller it is an excellent shipper as well 
as a good canners variety. 


Dr. Pritchard’s success in plant breeding and his recom- 
mendation of this variety should lead every market gardener 
to make at least a trial planting for comparison with present 


favorites.

Our special strain of Bonny Best has 
Bonny Best become a favorite among large grow- 
ers for the early market. It is truly so superior to the 
ordinary stocks that it might rightfully be considered a 
new variety. It is earlier than Chalk’s Early Jewel, and 
within two or three days as early as Earliana. Very pro- 
lific, with liberal foliage to protect the fruit from the sun. 
The beautiful scarlet-red fruit is set in clusters of 5 or 
more. Its great characteristic is that it ripens each set- 


ting of fruit nearly all at once, and ripens evenly all over 


up to the stem. 
I want to say a word of praise for your special strain 
of Bonny Best Tomato. For heavy cropping, large size, 
and earliness and smoothness, it can not be beat. It will 
suit any critical market gardener if he wants the best 
strain obtainable. I have been growing Bonny Best To- 
matoes for 20 years and have paid as much as $5.00 per 
ounce, but I must say that you have about the best strain 

I ever used. They are extra fine. 
Geo. T. Robinson, . Md. 


3 Ripens 10 days later than 
Chalk’s Early Jewel sparks’ Earliana, but more 
desirable for home use, as fruits are thicker through and 
more solid, comparing favorably with the later maturing 
sorts. Color bright scarlet and quality very best. 


John Baer 


A second early variety, maturing 10 days 
later than the King of the Earlies. Fruit 


is borne in clusters of 3, of bright red color, averaging 3 
inches across and 2% inches from stem to blossom end.

Wilt Resistant the plant breeder has made his se-

of production, size, flavor, weight, thickness of skin and 
color. A very profitable main crop sort. 


Second Early and Main Crop Varieties 


Different entirely from all the new cross 
Pemberton breeds of the Marglobe, Break O’Day and 
Scarlet Topper types and not to be confused with any of 
them. Pemberton is a large, solid, smooth, deep oval 
shaped, main crop variety of a brilliant scarlet color all 
through; it yields a heavy crop commanding highest prices 
for either market or packing house purposes. 
Our stock of this extremely popu- 


Marglobe Special lar variety is far superior to the 


average and we have received many unsolicited testimonials 
complimenting us on its excellent quality. 


It produces heavy yields of large smooth, globular, 
meaty, red fruits. They have a delightful flavor, and are 
covered with a thick skin which hinders cracking. More- 
over, the plants shade the fruits well and thus protect 
them from sun-scald. 


e . The last intro- 
Scarlet Topper or Pritchard (he, last | intro: 
late Dr. Pritchard and considered by many to be superior to 
his Marglobe. It is a self-topping disease-resistant sort, 
heavily productive, of good color and in appearance almost 
identical to Marglobe. Highly valuable for market garden 


use, for shipping and packing. 

, Since our introduction of it in 1905 
Maryland Pride it has been grown with great suc- 
cess by canners and market gardeners, who pronounce it “the 
very best second early and main crop Tomato they have ever 
grown.” The fruit is a beautiful bright red color, magnifi- 
cent size and handsome, smooth shape. The vines grow vig- 
orously and produce abundantly until killed by frost.

One of the most popular varieties for general crop. 
Red Rock Very productive, yielding one-third more tomatoes 
than New Stone; the vines are very vigorous and have dense pro- 
tective foliage. The brilliant red fruit has very tough skin and is 
not apt to crack from wet weather. 


RUTABAGAS OR SWEDES 


Rutabagas require about four weeks longer to mature than 
ordinary varieties of turnips, but are more solid, of firmer 
flesh and therefore keep later into the spring. They are for 
this reason more desirable for storage, while turnips are 
better adapted for the early market. Sow during July either 
in drills or broadcast. 


, Grown for a number of years in the 
New Canadian North and held very closely by pri- 


vate individuals, the seed of this variety has always been 
extremely difficult to procure in a true and reliable type. 
After three years of searching and checking in our trial 
grounds, we have found the correct strain and offer it with 
every assurance that it will soon become the only Rutabaga 
grown in this section.

excellent variety has be- 
come a favorite because of its hardy and productive nature. “33 :

TURNIPS 


1 oz. to 150 feet of drill; 1 lb. per acre. 

Being primarily a cool weather vegetable, turnips thrive best when planted 
in early spring or in the fall. For spring crop sow the seed early in April, while 
for fall and winter use, plantings should be made from July to August. Sow in 
rows not less than 18 inches apart and one-half to three-quarters of an inch 
deep. A very popular method, however, is to broadcast the seed between rows 
of corn or in the cultivated orchard. Proper control of root maggots 
is effected by rotation of crops, the use of commercial fertilizers in- 
stead of manure and the application of Mag-o-tite or other carbolic 
acid emulsion.

MANNS’ SUPERIOR LAWN GRASS 


For Beauty and Permanence 


Lawn Grass Seed is not a distinct standard variety which can be sold at a standard market 
price, but is a mixture containing many varieties blended to meet certain requirements. The price 
is determined entirely by the value and proportions of the various grasses used in the mixture. 


Cheap lawn mixtures are the most expensive to sow because they contain only a small percent- 
age of high germinating seed of the desirable varieties and large proportions of the cheap, undesir- 
able grasses and chaff. 


Manns’ Superior Lawn Grass Seed is a correctly proportioned mixture of the very best varieties 
of grasses blended according to a formula which has resulted from many years of study and experi- 
ence. Every variety included has its special duty to perform in the quick production and steady 
maintenance of a beautiful and permanent lawn. 


MANNS’ SHADY PLACE LAWN SEED 


Contains only those grasses which are best adapted for 
growing under trees and in shaded spots. It quickly pro- PRICES

FARM SEEDS 


Our fair dealing and conservative methods have resulted in an enormous increase in the volume of our field seed busi- 
ness, and we are thoroughly convinced that high quality seed at a reasonable price will make many more pleased customers 


during this year. 


Our experience in this line and our equipment protect you from the many losses which must result from the planting 
of inferior seed, which is expensive at any price. All seeds offered must strictly conform to our high standards, and pur- 
chasers may depend upon our best efforts to supply only seed which is fresh, pure and free from weeds. 

Continual market fluctuations make it impossible to quote firm prices here; changes are made almost daily. We shall, 
therefore, appreciate the opportunity to mail samples and quote the very latest price on any quantity. 

When comparing quotations, consider both purity and germination. 


GRASS SEEDS 


KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. June Grass. (Poa pratensis.) 
Universally known; desirable for pastures and lawns. Sow 
in fall or spring at rate of 2 or 3 bushels per acre. Fancy 
clean seed. 


RED TOP GRASS. (Agrostis vulgaris.) Thrives well in 
any soil, but best on low land; produces a firm sod. Sow 1 
to 2 bushels per acre. 


TIMOTHY. (Phleum pratense.) Well known variety. When 
ready to buy write for latest prices, whether a bag or a 
carload. (Bushel 45 pounds.) 


ORCHARD GRASS. (Dactylis glomerata.) Extremely hardy 
and widely known. One of the earliest to start in spring; 
grows rapidly; furnishes an abundance of pasture the entire 
season. 1% to 2 bushels per acre. (Bushel 14 pounds.) 
RHODE ISLAND BENT GRASS. (Agrostis canina.) Valu- 
able for lawns. Sow 3 to 4 bushels per acre for lawn. 1% 
to 3 bushels for pasture. (Bushel 12 pounds.) 

TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS. (Avena elatior.) Used for 
soiling. Succeeds well in sandy lands, and owing to its long, 
fibrous roots, stands cold and drought well. Sow 3 bushels 
per acre. (Bushel 10 pounds.) 

SWEET VERNAL. (Anthoxanthum odoratum.) Very frag- 
rant, especially when bruised or cut. Mixed with other 
grasses for pasture it is quite valuable, as it starts early 
in the spring and grows until late in the fall. (Bushel 10 
pounds.) 

CREEPING BENT GRASS. (Agrostis stolonifera.) Excel- 
lent for pasture when mixed with other grasses; succeeds 
well in most situations and thrives in moist land. Sow 40 
pounds per acre. (Bushel 14 pounds.) 

WOOD MEADOW GRASS. (Poa nemoralis.) Recommended 
especially for low, wet pasture, or for lawns in damp, wet 
situations. It starts early in the spring and produces a 
beautiful green turf, which lasts a long time. (Bushel 14 
pounds.) 


DROUGHT RESISTING GRASSES 


PERENNIAL RYE GRASS. (Lolium perenne.) Very nutri- 
tious; valuable for meadows or permanent pastures; rapid 
grower; most prominent grass in England. Sow 1 to 1% 
bushels per acre. (Bushel 24 lbs.) 

4 MEADOW FESCUE. (Festuca pratensis.) Thrives in all 
“soil; excellent for permanent pastures; starts early; very 
productive. Sow 1 to 1% 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 pounds.) 

HARD FESCUE. (Festuca duriuscula.) Not very produc- 
tive, but it is of a very fine quality, and thrives well in dry 
situations where many other grasses would fail, thus mak- 
ing a desirable pasture variety. 


MILLET 
GERMAN OR GOLDEN MILLET. True Southern grown 


German 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 to three weeks earlier 
than German Millet. ; 


MANNS’ PERMANENT

MISCELLANEOUS FIELD SEEDS 


J. MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. 


[39] 


CLOVERS 


MEDIUM OR COMMON RED. (Trifolium pratense.) The 
Clover Seed of Commerce, and the most important and valu- 
able of the Clover family for agricultural purposes. Sow 15 
pounds per acre. (Bushel 60 pounds.) 


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 plow- 
ing under as a fertilizer. 


WHITE DUTCH. (Trifolium repens.) Grows naturally in 
pastures in a great variety of soils and situations; indis- 
pensable 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; for 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 pounds.) 


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 3 crops a year can be cut. 
Not recommended for pasture. (Bushel 60 pounds.) 


BOKHARA OR WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER. 
(Melilotus alba.) This slightly resembles Alfalfa in growth, 
but is much taller, with leafier and stiffer stems. It fre- 
quently grows 5 to 6 feet in height and branches freely, 
with slender spikes of small, fragrant, white flowers, which 
afford an excellent food for bees. (Bushel 60 pounds.) 


JAPAN CLOVER. This makes most nutritious and desirable 
summer pasture. Grows well and spreads rapidly on poor 
lands, hillside and under the shade of trees. (Bushel 25 


pounds.) 
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 


EARLY 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. 


CYCLONE SEED SOWER 


Has a national reputation as absolutely the 
best hand sower on the market. 


Price—$1.85 each 


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 
from 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 pounds per acre, 1 to 1% 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 
Millet, 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 


ars 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 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. 

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 Immense 
Quantities of Nutritious Food, Besides 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 is certainly 

one of the very best plants, next to Cow Peas. 


CANADA FIELD PEAS 


Sown in open weather during December, January, February 
and March, 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 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 hay. 


BUCKWHEAT 


JAPANESE. This variety yields very largely. The kernels 
are larger than other sorts, but owing to its branching quali- 
ties it need not be sown so thickly. 

SILVER HULL. A superior variety in every way to the 
ordinary Buckwheat whick 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 
recleaned by us. 

RUST-PROOF OATS. A favorite spring variety in the 
South, particularly where the land is rich; produces enor- 
mous yield, and excellent for cutting for hay.

McWhorter Fertilizer Distributors have been used for many 
years with great success and have features not to be found 
on any other fertilizer distributor. The McWhorter does 
not depend on gravity for feeding fertilizer, but positive 
belt force feed which can be adjusted to feed any amount 
required. The spouts are adjustable and can be set to feed 
the number of rows desired, or to broadcast. Each set of 
spouts can be adjusted to feed any amount of lime or fer- 
tilizer desired from a few pounds to over a ton per acre. 
The feed adjustment of each set of spouts is regulated inde- 
pendently. By moving a lever the entire machine can be 
shut off while going to or from the field. The hopper on 
the larger machines is so constructed that it sits down over 
the wheels. This patented feature brings the hopper very 
close to the ground, thereby eliminating waste of material 
on windy days, and making the loading much easier. 


No. 21—Hand Fertilizing Distributor—Capacity 80 pounds; 
width 30 inches; weight 85 pounds. Has all McWhorter 
features; ideal for gardeners requiring a small distributor. 
Price, $21.50. 


No. 12—Light-draft one-horse machine, excellent for both 
furrow work and top and side dressing growing crops, as it 
makes a fine and even distribution. Capacity 200 pounds, 
width 3 feet 2 inches, weight 145 pounds. Price, $41.25. 


No. 11—Constructed on the same general lines as No. 12, 
but is much lower in price. It has only one feed belt and 
one set of spouts and will spread from 3 to 15 inches. Ca- 
pacity 200 pounds, weight 136 pounds. Price, $34.50. 


No. 34—One-horse machine, equipped with 16 Spouts. Will 
sow broadcast or in rows. Can be used for side dressing on 
both sides of two rows of growing crops or one side of four 
rows. Capacity 375 pounds, width 6% feet, weight 260 
pounds. Price, $70.00. 


No. 44—One-horse machine similar to No. 34, but with 
wheels adjustable to any width row, a patented feature not 
found on any other machine. It will broadcast 7 feet wide 
or can be adjusted to fertilize three furrows 3 feet apart 
and two furrows up to 6 feet apart. Will side dress both 
sides of two rows of growing crops or one side of four rows. 
Capacity 400 pounds, width 7 feet, weight 266 pounds. 
Price, $75.50. 


No. 13-C—One-horse machine intended for row work only. 
Has adjustable rubber spouts so that they can be set for 
any width row desired. Capacity 400 pounds, width 7 feet, 
weight 260 pounds. Price, $68.75.

BARRED PLYMOUTH 
ROCKS 


First distinctively American 
breed and still the most popu- 
lar of the all-purpose breeds. 
Barred Rocks are hardy and 
vigorous; excellent winter lay- 
ers, and also preferred by 
experienced buyers of table 
fowl because of their abundant 
breast meat and bright yellow 
skin. Easy to raise and will 
thrive anywhere. 


BUFF ORPINGTONS 


A choice table bird—either as broiler or roaster. They 
develop rapidly, eight-week-old cockerels often weighing two 
pounds. They are excellent winter layers, stately in appear- 
oe with long, round deep bodies, full breasts and broad 

acks. 


JERSEY BLACK GIANTS 


This new breed is becoming more popular every year. The 
plumage is lustrous greenish black, skin a rich yellow, finest 
table fowl, extremely large and heavy; excellent layers of 
large brown eggs. 


WHITE LEGHORNS 

Most widely used breed of 
chickens, being the best of all 
for egg production. 

The strain which we offer 
are bred to suit the require- 
ments of commercial egg farms 
and every possible means has 
been employed in developing 
the stock for this purpose. 


White Leghorn 


WHITE WYANDOTTES 


One of the oldest and most 
popular of all American breeds, 
and ranking among the highest 
as egg producers. They have 
broad backs, deep round bodies, 
large red rose combs, yellow 
skin, and heavy close fitting 
plumage which enables them to 
withstand cold weather. Very 
striking in appearance; unsur- 
passed for table fowl. 


White Wyandotte 


RHODE ISLAND RED 


One of the best layers of the 
heavy breeds and an excellent 
table fowl. Somewhat rangier 
than Plymouth Rocks but the 
strongest competitor. A very 
profitable breed for the farmer. 
They are universally popular, 
however, with all poultrymen. 


WHITE ROCKS 


Differ from Barred Rocks 
only in their plumage. Quiet 
and easily confined. Popular be- 
cause of their beauty, produc- 
tiveness and value for market 
purposes; they dress easily hav- 
ing no dark pin feathers. Not- 
able layers of large brown eggs.

WIRE FENCING 


J. MANNS & CO:, Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. 


[59] 


UNITED STATES POULTRY NETTIN 

United States Poultry Fence is strictly a “NO SAG” fence, 
as the combination of line and mesh wires, closely woven, 
prevents any 
lengthening or nar- 
rowing between 
posts. In erecting 
U.S. Poultry Fence 
the line wires per- 
mit of being 
stretched to a high 
tension, which com- 
pels the fence to 
remain rigid and 
upright without an- 
choring it to a 
baseboard or top 
: rail. These fea- 
tures 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 tention 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 gal- 
vanized after weaving.

eo Made of

The Copper-Alloyed Steel 
That Resists Rust and 
Corrosion 


IT DRAINS OFF 
NEVER FALLS 
BELOW 


Channeldrain has a barrier to leaks—a vertical wall run- 
ning the entire length of the lap—and no water gets by this 
wall. The channel formed by the patented design of Chan- 
neldrain roofing carries off the water before it can mount 
the ridge. This means that Channeldrain roofing goes far- 
ther than other metal roofing in doing what roofing is 
intended to do—IT DRAINS OFF ALL THE WATER THAT 
FALLS ON THE ROOF, permitting the surface to dry 
quickly and prevents rust under the laps and around nail 
holes. It is easy to understand the economy in roofing that 
has these advantages—and only Channeldrain has them. 


You can apply Channeldrain yourself and enjoy the supe- 
rior benefits of this modern patented roofing, with freedom 
from repairs through long years to come. It will save 
money for you. 28 guage, 54%4c per square foot. 


Built of hard wood, mortised and tennoned, and full bolted; 
with Cold Rolled Steel mandrel; heavy balance wheel, and 
the table firmly hinged to frame—thoroughly braced and 
reinforced. The blades are made of genuine saw steel and 
have given universal satisfaction.

plants must get from the soil. Each element is present in the right pro- 
portion, assuring a balanced plant ration. That’s why Vigoro produces 
such amazing results—that’s why it develops root as well as top growth. 
Be sure to order a supply of Vigoro with your seed. No other plant-feeding 
materials need be used with Vigoro. Complete directions for use in every 
bag and package.

GATOR-HIDE MULCH PAPER 


stimulates plant growth by increasing the témperature of 
the soil, by conserving moisture in the soil and by eliminat- 
ing the weeds. 

The Gator-Hide Mulch Paper used here on Early Iceberg 
Lettuce not only yielded more to the row than the unmulched 
area at the right, but it produced lettuce that was of de- 
cidedly better quality and brought it to maturity earlier than 
lettuce planted at the same time on adjacent unmulched land. 
Try Gator-Hide yourself this year.
