HOW TO ORDER BY MAIL 


That you may receive the full benefit of the prompt, efficient service our facilities enable us to give, please 
observe the following in making your order: 

THE ORDER BLANKS accompanynig this catalog will be convenient for customers and facilitate our filling 
orders (extra ones mailed on request.) Use the plant sheet when ordering plants—pages 60 to 80—these being filled at 
our Centerville Nurseries, seeds and all other goods being collated at our Salt Lake stores, though all can be shipped 
together when advisable. Give full shipping instructions in every order sent, and write address legibly. 

MONEY SHOULD ALWAYS ACCOMPANY YOUR ORDER. You may remit at our risk, either by express order, 
bank draft, post office order or registered letter. We accept 2-cent postage stamps the same as cash. 

GOODS WANTED C. O. D. must have 25 per cent of the amount ACCOMPANY THE ORDER. Plants we do 
not ship C. O. D. 

EVERY ORDER IS FILLED WITHIN A DAY OR TWO AFTER ARRIVAL, or is acknowledged if, under rare 
circumstances, its shipment is likely to be delayed. If goods, notification of shipment, or acknowledgement of order 
is not received by you after a reasonable lapse of time please notify us at once and send copy of order. 

ORDER EARLY. Seed stocks of a number of varieties are very limited and the demand will be exceptionally 
heavy. Good help to properly care for the extra rush at planting time will be hard to obtain. Freight, Express and 
Parcel Post movements will be slower than in other years. You will do yourself and us a good turn to ORDER EARLY. 

PATRONS IN SIGNING ORDERS are requested to use prefix Mr., Mrs. or Miss. Married ladies should in- 
variably use husband’s initials. 

ABOUT GUARANTEES—We use every precaution in procuring fresh, pure and reliable seeds, etc., but we, in 
common with other responsible seed houses, sell our goods subject to the following disclaimer, it being that adopted 
by the American Seed Trade Association, i. e.:—We give no warranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, 
productiveness or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs, nursery stock, roots or plants sent out and will not be in 
any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods on these terms they are to be returned 
at once.—Porter-Walton Co.

SEED AND NURSERY SPECIALISTS FOR WESTERN U.S. A. 1 


THIS MESSAGE IS TO YOU 


If you control even a rod of ground that can be rendered productive this year—listen to this 
warning—from U. S. Food Administrator Hoover:— 


“Food has, since the war began gradually assumed a larger place in the econ- 
' omics, the statesmanship and the strategy of warfare. North America is called upon 
both by Allies and Neutrals for quantities of food far beyond its normal ability. 


During the last year we have exported every last ounce which the country 
during this period was capable of producing. And our national stock of cereals 
and animal products, proportionate to our population, was, at the beginning of har- 
vest the LOWEST IN HISTORY.” 


The food requirement for this year will far exceed that of last; and the only solution of this 
tremendous problem is for every red-blooded American, left behind with even a square yard of 
ground fit for cultivation, “To Do His Bit. 


To our old cutsomers it is enough to say our seed stocks, etc., available this year are even 
above the standard of past years. This, together with greatly enlarged equipment and staff, places 
us in an enviable position to give you service. 


To our new friends who entrust us with their first order, we give the assurance that every 
packet, yes, every tiny seed or anything else you receive lebeled PORTER-WALTON has behind it 
the integrity and stability of a responsible house, characterized by dependable quality, high effici- 
ency and a desire to please. 


Yours for the Crop that “Goes Over the Top”

The above cuts were all taken at our Centerville Trial Grounds, Seed Farm and Nurseries, situated 12 miles north 
from Salt Lake City, right in the heart of the most fertile district in Utah. It is here we established eleven years 
ago the first seed testing grounds in the Rocky Mountain region. In fact, it is the only one we know of to date, 
outside of the government experiment stations, between the Missouri river and the coast. Of course, it costs 


money to maintain these, but we want to know just what seeds are worth planting and so do our customers. It 
pays us and them, too. 


SEED AND NURSERY SPECIALISTS FOR WESTERN U.S. A. 7 


GARDENING SUCCESS DEPENDS ON THE 
FOLLOWING: 


1st—Good Soil Thoroughly Prepared 


A sandy loam is the best, but a fair degree of success may be secured from any soil which can be made rich and 
friable. Vegetables of the best quality canot be grown on barren sand, a cold, hard, lumpy clay, nor in the shade of 
erchard or other trees. 


A soil which does not need enriching in order to produce the best results is rarely found and very often success 
in proportion to the liberality with which fertilizers have been used. Well decomposed stable manure where straw 
bedding has been used is the best. When good stable manure is not available, commercial fertilizers may be used. 


Fertilization of the soil is only the beginning and much depends on its preparation. It must be made friable by 
thorough and judicious working; if this is well done all that fololws will be easy; if it is neglected only partial success 
is possible and that at the cost of a great deal of hard work. 


2nd—GOOD SEEDS Properly Planted 


Too much emphasis cannot be placed on securing good seeds and it is betraying no secret when we say that the 
main purpose in printing this catalog is to let you know where these can be secured. After these are secured it is 
equally necessary that favorable conditions to germination and growth be secured. These are—sowing the right amount, 
at the proper depth, at the seasonable time—see Pages 8 and 9 for this information as nearly as we can give it in a 
general way. As each locality has its own peculiarities, it is a good thing for the beginner to consult a local planter of 
experience. 


3rd—Wise Cultivation 


Not only should every weed be removed as soon as it appears, but the crust which forms after a rain should be broken 
up and the ground stirred as soon as it is dry enough to permit it. The more frequently and deeper the soil is stirred 
while the plants are young, the better, but as they develop and the roots occupy the ground, cultivation should be shal- 
lower until it becomes a mere stirring of the surface. The yield and quality of vegetables have often been decidedly 
lowered by injudiciously deep and close cultivation after the roots of the plants had fully occupied the ground. A very 
small garden, well culitvated and cared for, will give larger returns and be in every way satisfactory than a much 
larger one poorly prepared and neglected. 


DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING A HOTBED 


In this locality from the middle of February to the 1st of March is quite early enough to make a hotbed. The 
time must vary according to the climatic conditions. 


Provide a quantity of fresh horse manure from the stables, and add to this, if they can be had, one-third to one- 
half of its bulk of leaves. Mix them thoroughly, tramping down the mass in successive layers, and form into a large 
pile, so that fermentation will proceed, even in severely cold weather. In two or three days fermentation will be 
apparent by the escape of steam from the heap. Now, turn again, and allow the heap to remain two or three days 
longer, or until the second fermentation commences. Make an excavation or pit two and one-half feet deep and of a 
size suited to the number of plants required. The pit will be better if built up of brick. It should be made in some 
dry, sheltered spot, facing the south or east, if possible. Hotbed sashes are usually 3x6 feet and one or two sashes will 
give early plants enough for a samll family. The frame for sashes should be 18 inches high at the back and 12 inches 
in front, which wil give the proper slope to catch the sunlight. Cross-pieces should be placed for the sashes to slide on, 
to facilitate opening and shutting the frames. 


When everything is ready, the manure is placed in the pit and trodden down firmly in layers to the required depth 
of 2 to 2144 feet. Then put on the sashes, and keep the pit closed until the heat arises. At first it will probably be 100 
degrees or more, which is too hot to sow the seed in; but in two or three days it will subside to 90 degrees or a little 
less, when the soil may be put on to the depth of 6 to 8 inches. The heat may be readily ascertained by plunging a 
thermometer into the manure. The soil should be of well-rotted sod (or common garden soil will do), mixed with about 
a third of fine old manure; and in this the seeds may be sown thinly in drills 2 to 3 inches apart, and afterward (as 
soon as out of the seed-leaf), either thinned out or else transplanted to another frame. Air must be given every mild 
day by raising the sashes at the back. Water with tepid water whenever necessary, and during cold nights and snow- 
storms keep covered with mats or board shutters. 


Tomatoes, Peppers and Egg-Plants should be sown in a separate frame from Cabbage, Cauliflower and Lettuce, as 
they require more heat. The same directions may apply to hotbeds made on the surface of the ground, except that the 
manure should be at least a foot wider on all sides of the frame. 


HOW TO PREPARE A COLD FRAME 


The cold frame is simply a frame set on the ground, no bottom heat being applied. It is banked up on the outside 
during the winter with marsh hay, straw or coarse litter. The soil is prepared by forking and thoroughly mixing to 
the depth of 10 or 12 inches a liberal quantity of old, well-rotted manure. The manure of an old hotbed is good for the 
purpose. It is useful to protect and harden off plants from the greenhouse or hotbed before fully exposing them in 
the open air.

* The terms used in this column are defined as follows: 


“Early Spring,’”’? means as soon as buds in the trees begin to swell and the ground can be worked into gardening 
condition. This may be in March or April. Frosts have not passed, and such plants, if not too succulent, will stand a 
frost. 

“Spring” refers to those vegetables which are not so hardy as the above, and which are usually planted later be- 
cause they do so much better planted later. If for any reason early planting is necessary, they can be put in a week 
after the foregoing. 

“Late Spring,” is the time of year when the ground is well warmed and all frosts are passed. This probably will be 
early in May. 

“Early Summer,’’ means planting in June. 

(“S’’) placed in this column means that those sorts are sown for succession. Usually the planting of some sorts are 
made two weeks apart while others are often planted early and again late for crops at two different seasons. 

+ “T,” placed in the colmun is to mark those sorts which are usually sown in beds and later transplanted to the 
garden, and always transplanted to the field. 

For last planting of Beans, Sweet Corn, Kohlrabi, Peas and Radishes, or even Tomatoes, take the earliest varieties 
just the same as are used for first planting. 

Late sowings of Salsify are intended to remain undisturbed over winter. Roots from these sowings will, the next 
year, attain a size double that usually seen. 

See Page 7 for directions how to make ‘‘Hotbeds” and ‘“‘Cold Frames.”

+ The information given here is a general average and based on the different ways of planting and different 
distances practiced in various parts. The usual distances are here given and the planter must use his judgement for his 
particular case. Where garden cultivation is by wheel hoe and ample room is available, a greater distance is better em- 
ployed. If the patch will be cultivated by horse, the distances in the field culture column should be used. 

* The Depth at which to plant seed cannot be given more than approximately because it varies so much with the 
condition of the moisture in the soil and the time of year. All seeds must have air, moisture and heat to germinate. 
Five times the diameter of the seed is approximately right for ideal conditions, but for sowing in wet soils that is 
too deep, and for sowing the same seed in the dry soils it is too shallow. For field culture, sow comparatively deep or 
when the ground is becoming dry. The seed drill must get the seed to moist earth, and if rain is not expected it must 
be rolled or otherwise well firmed to get the soil packed tightly around. This will aid germination greatly. Firm only 
lightly, soils which are heavy or wet.

P.-W.’s HOME GARDEN COLLECTIONS 


Contain seeds of only true and tried varieties, most carefully selected to give a continuous supply of vegetables, of 
exclusively high quality throughout the season. The quantities are proportioned to meet the requirements of such 
gardens as are indicated by the titles of the collections, and will be found convenient for patrons who do not care to 
wade through long lists, or who prefer our judgment as to kinds and quantities; it may be that there are one or 
more items in these collections that some customers will not care for, but even if such are not needed, the great saving 
in price will more than compensate. We, however, cannot allow any alterations, because these collections are put up 
in quantities all ready to ship, before the commencement of our busy season, thus enabling us to sell them at very 
much less than the articles would cost separately.

School Boys and Girls Solving the Food Problem 


“DO YOUR BIT” 
Make A War Garden 


You need not be “a slacker” if to the front you cannot go, 
In your own back yard you can serve “Uncle Sam’’—use the Hoe. 


Last year the “war garden’’ movement was organized very hurriedly with most of the planting centered on po- 
tatoes, beans and corn. Expected results were not obtained by many new beginners, because there was not time for 
proper preparation of soil before the seed was planted and they were entirely without experience as how to cultivate and 
fight insect pests. But even with these handicaps, according to authentic reports, over $350,000,000 worth of food was 
produced from the total of 1,500,000 acres planted to war gardens in this country last year. This was an average yield 
ef about $230.00 per acre. i 

If such results were obtained last year by new beginners and at the “eleventh hour” too, surely ‘‘Uncle Sam” has 
a right to expect since the necessity for such effort has been greatly multiplied, that this year the area planted will be 
vastly enlarged and the resulting crops a hundred fold more valuable. 


While it is neither feasible nor possible for every one to cultivate commercial crops suitable for shipping yet it 
is the patriotic duty of every American family to make their unproductive back yard or vacant lot supply at least their 
own table with a good assortment of vegetables during the entire season and have some to put away for winter. So that 
the farms and commercial gardens that have been heretofore supplying local needs, this year will be planted to crops 
which can be shipped abroad to our own fightnig men as well as to the Allies and the neutral nations that are almost 
entirely dependent upon this country for food. 


With the thought in view of assisting those unfamiliar with the best types of vegetables that will furnish variety 
for the kitchen table we submit the following collection:

RELIABLE VEGETABLE SEEDS 


To insure offering to you only those varieties of Vegetable, Flower and Farm Seeds that will give a just reward 
for cultivation, exhaustive soil tests are made each year at our Centerville Trial Grounds. This method enables us te 
select the most desirable types and varieties that will be sure to give entire satisfaction whether planted for Market 
er Family Garden. 

Heretofore new introductions of novelties have been listed on the front pages, apart from the general list. This 
has caused some little confusion to some of our patrons in making up their orders. To avoid such in this book, alpha- 
betical arrangement has been followed. 

The list submitted here for your selection you can depend on as being wholly reliable in every respect, and “‘up-to- 
the minute” list of reputable distinct varieties of both old and new, worthy of a place in your garden, orchard or 


field. 
ARTICHOKE 


Artichokes are cultivated for the edible bud that resembles the giant thistle. The plants want a very rich soil 
and plenty of moisture. The seed should be planted in boxes along in February and transplanted in the field about the 
latter part of March or April. 

Large Green Globe. The most popular variety, buds large, globular, deep green with a slight tint of purple at 
base. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; %4 Ib. $1.10; Ib. $4.00. 

Jerusalem (Tuberous Rooted). Good Tubers, Ib. 15c; 10 Ibs. 90c; 100 Ibs. $6.00. 


ASPARAGUS 


Sow early in the spring, in a bed of light, rich, well manured 
soil, in drills one foot apart. When the plants become withered, 
cut them down and spread well rotted stable manure two inches 
deep over the bed. Let the plants remain in the seed bed until 
they are about to grow, early in the spring, The subsoil of 
the permanent bed should be dry, and if not so, it must be well 
drained. It should be dug thoroughly at least two and one- 
half feet deep, and mixed with plenty of well rotted manure. 
For private garden use, set in rows two feet apart and the 
plants about a foot apart in the row, with crowns four inches 
below the surface, and spread the roots. For field culture, the 
rows should be six feet apart and two feet apart in the rows. 
Before winter cover the transplanted beds with about four 
inches of manure, and fork it in the next spring, being careful 
not to injure the roots. In autumn cut the ripe tops and burn 
the refuse. One pound of good fresh seed will produce plants 
sufficient for an acre, and an ounce of seed will sow a drill 
fifty feet long.

THE LONGFELLOW 


An extra early, round green-podded bush bean of fine 
quality. Long, round green pods always solid, tender 
BS and of delicious flavor. An ideal Snap Bean, produc- 
ing a fine crop of round, straight, solid, fleshy pods, 
averaging 614 inches long, wonderfully tender and 
brittle, without a trace of tough interlining, and having 
no string when broken, excepting when the pods are 
quite old. The flavor is most delicious, captivating and 
most critical, while the delicate green color of the pods 
is retained after cooking, adding to its attractiveness 
when served. The plants are of robust, compact habit, 
unexcelled in bearing qualities, maturing the crop very 
regularly. It is extra early, the pods being fit to pick 
four days in advance of any other variety of approxi- 
mate size and merit. (See cut.)

The soil best suited for beet culture is that which is rather 
light and well enriched. Sow in drills one foot apart and one 
inch deep, as early’ as ground can be worked. When the plants 
are large anough they should stand six inches apart in rows. 
Continue planting for a succession as late as the middle of 
July. 


DETROIT DARK RED 


Extended experience has shown this variety to be 
the best deep red turnip beet, not only for market gar- 
deners, but for the home garden. Its splendid shape 
and color of the roots, make it popular with everyone 
who plants it. Tops small, upright-growing, so that 
the rows may be close together; leaf-stems and vines 
dark red, blades green; roots globular or ovoid, peculi- 
arly smooth; color of skin dark blood-red; flesh bright 
red, zoned with a lighter shade, very crisp, tender and 
sweet, and remaining so for a long time. We believe 
that the stock of this variety which we offer will pro- 
duce a crop more uniform in shape, color and quality 
than any other beet seed obtainable. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c;

SEED TESTING 


Aside from the field tests to maturity carried on 
at our Centerville trial grounds, testing for germi- 
nation ‘is done in our green-housesf in soil. This is 
the fairest method possible since only plants that 
actually grow and come above ground are counted. 

Not only is everything tested as fast as it comes 
into the warehouse, but tests are made from month 
to month as stocks might be carried over. Thou- 
sands of these germination tests are made every year, 
all are carefully recorded and no stock of anything 
is used to supply our customers that does not show 
a satisfactory germination test. 

It is not enough that we have the intent to please 
and satisfy our customers—we must have the sys- 
tem and organization that almost eliminates mis- 
takes and gives to you the seed of the kind you 
want and of quality which is the best.

CABBAGE 


1 oz. 1500 Plants. % Ib. to Transplant for Acre 


There are three good seasons for sowing seed, in September, in cold frames (or in winter in hot-beds) for early 
spring cabbages; in March for summer and fall cabbages; and in June or July for winter cabbages. The seed 
sprouts quickly and is likely to come up very thick in the seed bed and it should be thinned early, or the plants 
become spindly and then do not head well. Transplanted to the field, they should be 12 inches apart, in rows 18 inches 
apart. To prevent the heads splitting open in the fall before they are ready to be harvested, the plants should be 
loosened a little at the root. Cabbages require considerable moisture, but too much water causes them to rot very 


readily. For Plants see Page 34.

@ COPENHAGEN MARKET 


Offered by us for the First Time in 1913. Last 
year it proved to be the Best Early Cabbage 
from Denmark. Remember, as Early 
as the Charleston Wakefield 


A valuable new, early Cabbage, producing 
round, hard heads very early in the season. 
early as the Charleston Wakefield. It is the most 
popular early Cabbage in the markets of Copen- 
hagen. Market-gardeners here are _ delighted 
with it on account of its extreme earliness and 
solid, ten-pound heads, with a small core and 
always of excellent quality. The plants are short- 
stemmed, producing heads almost on the ground. 
The light green leaves are medium in size, saucer 
shaped, and are always tightly folded; the plants 
may therefore be set closer than most other early 
varities. It is a vigorous grower and yielder, 
as are all Cabbages from Denmark, and an ex- 
cellent keeper. Our stock of Copenhagen Market 
comes to us direct from the originator. See cut.

DANISH BALL-HEAD 
P.-W.’s Short-Stemmed 


P.-W.’s Select Stock. The most popular of all 
late varieties for winter use. Genuine seed grown 
on Amager Island, Denmark. Because of its “great 
solidity” of head, and its unequaled keeping and 
shipping qualities, Danish Ball-Head has supplanted 
nearly all other varities for winter use. Many trials 
have demonstrated the superiority of the Danish 
seed of this variety over that grown in other coun- 
tries and localities. The Ball-Head we offer is the 
short-stemmed strain. It is sure to head, being 
round, hard and extremely heavy, though not extra 
large. It can be grown in close quarters on ac- 
count of its compact habit, and as to its keeping 
qualities, it comes out of the pit in March or April 
as fresh as when put in, with absolutely no waste. 
No cabbage has attained to so great a popularity 
as the true strain of P.-W.’s Short-Stemmed Danish 

Ball-Head. Pkt. 5c; 0z. 40c; %4 Ib. $1.50; Ib. $5.00.

drills two to two and one-half feet apart, for tither garden or field culture. When the plants are sufficiently large, 
thin to six inches apart in the row. Cultivate well and in the fall dig the roots, slice them and dry in an apple

The carrot is one of the most wholesome and nutritious of our garden roots, deserving to be more extensively used 
for culinary purposes, and we urge our readers to give some of the early table sorts a trial. For feeding stock, es- 
pecially horses and milch cows, the carrot cannot be surpassed, and it should be more largely grown by farmers for 
this purpose.

CAULIFLOWER 

It is easy to grow in the garden providing the soil is made rich and porous. Plant the seed in beds in May for 
fall crop, and transplant to garden or field the latter part of July or August. For early summer crop, plant the 
seed in hot-beds in January or early in February and the plant will be ready for the field as soon as danger of frost 
is over. Young plants should be thinned, since they become very spindly if allowed to grow too thick. Transplanted 
to the field, they should be set in rows two feet apart and fifteen inches in the row. If they are hardened before 
setting in the field and the growth is not checked, they will head well. When heading, tie the outside leaves closely over 
the head to protect it from the sun. One ounce of seed produces 1,500 to 2,000 plants.

CELERY 


One ounce will produce from 5,000 to 10,000 plants 

For early or summer Celery sow seed of the self-blanching 
sort in flats under glass during February, and prick out, singly 
or in sections of row, into other flats, frames, or in nursery 
row in the open, selecting soil in the highest state of cultivation. 
In May to June, set the plants in very rich and well prepared 
land, six inches apart in the rows, and rows three to four feet 
apart. Give thorough and clean cultivation, and blanch by 
means of boards set up against the rows. For later and winter 
Celery, start seed of standard sorts either in flats as for early, 
only a little later, or directly into open ground. Make the rows 
for plants one foot apart; sow seed shallow and firm well. 
The rows in which the plants are to be set are four to five 
feet apart. Blanch by earthing up gradually clear to within 
a few inches of tips of leaves. For winter storage, take up 
the plants with roots, and place upright on wet soil in a dark 
cellar or root-house, packing closely.

CUCUMBERS 


1 oz., 75 hills; 2-3 Ibs. per acre 
The soil best adapted for the culture of cucumbers is a rich, warm, moist loam. Seed should be sown in the open 
ground as soon as danger of frost is over. Plant in hills four or five feet each way. As the young plant has many 
enemies, seed should be sown quite thickly, half-inch in depth, and when well out of the ground, thinned to three 
or four plants to the hill. Cucumbers should be gathered by cutting, not tearing, every day or at least every other 
day. Leave none to ripen if you want a full crop.

LETTUCE 


1 oz. 3000 plants. 4-5 lbs. per acre. 

There is so great a difference in localities in regard to culture of lettuce, that it is hard to get a uniform rule for 
culture. For the ordinary house garden, it is desirable to use one variety of each type, and several plantings should be 
made to secure a succession. The seed should be planted in rows eighteen inches apart, as early as possible, and the 
young plants of cabbage variety should be thinned until four inches apart. Varieties that do not head may be left 
quite thick, and when fairly well grown, those thinned out may be used. 


New York 
PA I 
NEW YORK LETTUCE (OR LOS ANGELES MARKET) 


The Leading Summer Curly Head Lettuce Either for Home or Market Garden. 


It produces immense heads, often 13 to 16 inches across, and weighing enormously. The interior blanches 
beautifully, creamy-white, crisp, tender, delicious and is absolutely free from any trace of bitterness. It is a 
very large robust-growing variety, rooting deeply, resisting hot, dry weather, very slow to run to seed and a 
sure header under most trying conditions. The outer color is of a distinct apple-green. As a standard hot- 
weather summer Lettuce it is in every way desirable and has no equal, but is not recommended for forcing.

MUSKMELONS 


One ounce 50 hills. 2 to 3 lbs. per acre. 

Melons thrive best in a light, rich soil. Plant early in May, when the ground has become warm, hills 5 to 6 feet 
apart each way for Muskmelons, 8 to 10 feet for Watermelons, and plant in each 12 to 15 seeds; after all danger of 
bugs is over, thin out to three or four plants per hill. A few hills for early use may be had by sowing on pieces of sod 
in a hot bed, and when warm enough to transplant to open ground. Melon vines are subject to the same destructive 
insect and fungus foes are are cucumbers and squash vines. Early and repeated spraying with Bordeaux Arsenate 
of Lead Mixture is always advisable for these crops.

Sow in drills twelve to sixteen inches apart, sowing the seed thinly and cover thinly. If desired for transplanting, 
seeds may be sown broadcast, covering a quarter of an inch deep and transplanted when size of straws. Onions prefer 
a deep, friable loam, very heavily enriched, but no fresh manure, therefore fertilize the year previous to sowing. Thin 
to three inches apart in row. While moisture-loving much water is fatal and should never touch the plants after 
too old to pull for eating green. For keeping quality, always irrigate between the rows. 


Unquestionably the Yellow Onion for General Culture 


It is similar to the Yellow Globe Danvers, in shape round, a little depressed at top and bottom, medium 
a8 size, but remarkably solid, and heavy, producing as much weight per acre as almost any variety grown. The 
4: skin is a beautiful yellow, tops ripen down close, necks small. One of the surest keepers grown. Flesh is an 
attractive sparkling white or mild and pleasant flavor. It forms a bulb very early in the season, so that it 
may be used practically the entire summer, ripening up crisp and solid in the fall. The tops die off entirely, 
leaving fine appearing uniform shaped bulbs without neck.

P.-W.’s SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE ONION 


The best bunching Onion in the List 

It is a true globe form; pure white, hard and small neck. Ripening very early and evenly. A splendid 
keeper. It grows to a large size, averaging 744 to 9 inches in circumference;, is very solid and heavy, flesh 
purest white and fine grained; has a very mild, delicate flavor. It is an extremely heavy yielder. We recom- 
mend this variety especially to our market gardener customers, who desire a bunch onion. After thoroughly 
testing this with other white varieties, we pronounce it far ahead of any other for this purpose. It holds its 
tops longer and comes into market as early as the Pearl or White Queen. We have been able to secure a very 
selected strain of this excellent onion. No market gardener or onion grower can afford to plant inferior seed.

family, providing the leaves are cut often and the plant not allowed to seed. Sow in drills as early in the spring as 


the soil can be dug in a fine loose condition. It germinates best during cool, moist weather.

PARSNIPS 


1 oz. 100 ft. 5-8 Ibs. per acre. 

A well-known vegetable for table use. It is also very good stock food and quite as nutritious as carrots. It 
prefers very wet soil, and will thrive where carrots will not grow. A sandy soil is preferred since the roots are very 
long, and are difficult to dig in stiff soil. Sow the seed in the spring in 12 to 18 inch drills, using one ounce to 100 
feet. In the field sow in rows twelve inches apart. 


GUERNSEY OR HOLLOW CROWN 


A variety with a hollow or cup-shaped top, wher the leaf stem begins. The most popular and best variety for all 
purposes. Skin smooth and white and flesh tender, while the root grows 18 to 20 inches long. The best part of it is 
contained in the first eight inches from the top. Our strain of Hollow Crown is the thick-shouldered type, particularly 
fine, smooth and regular. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; %4 Ib. 50c; Ib. $1.75. 


PEPPERS 


1 oz. 500 plants. 4% lb. per acre. 

Peppers do best in hot climates, but can be grown 
quite successfully in most places. They require very 
rich soil or seed germinates slowly. They should be 
sown in hot-beds in March or April and in a warm 
sheltered border in May. And when all danger of 
frost is over, the young plant should be transplanted 
in rows two feet apart and eighteen inches in the 
row in good rich ground.

RED PEPPER 


This is a very large, deep red variety. Al- 
most twice the size of either Ruby King or 
Bull Nose. It is about four or five inches 
thick at the top and about six inches long. 
Though it may not be so immensely produc- 
tive for so large a pepper, yet its enormous 
size and magnificent appearance makes it sell 
readily. The plants are vigorous in growth 
and of stocky habit, sometimes more than two 
feet in height. They are well branched and 
thoroughly set with enormous fruits, frequently 
one-half dozen peppers touching each other 
as if in a single bunch. The strong growth 
of the plant enables them to mature the fruit 
only slightly later than the Ruby King. They 
make an excellent salad, sliced and served 
like tomatoes, the flesh being extremely mild.

or they will run too much to vines and not bear heavily. 
as the ground can be worked, in single or double rows from one and 
one-half feet to three feet apart. The dwarf varieties can be planted in 
rows twelve to eighteen inches apart. By using the various classes of 
peas and by making several sowings of each, good peas may be had for 
a long season. In the garden the pods should be kept picked as the vine 
will then continue to bear longer. Our seed peas are grown by the most 
particular growers in America, and are thoroughly rogued and carefully

POTATOES 


800-1200 Ibs. per acre 

For early potatoes, which mature in eight to ten weeks from planting, the soil must be particularly rich. A rich 
clover sod, manured and broken the year before and planted to corn, beans, peas, oats, etc., is in the best shape for 
giving a good yield of nice, clean potatoes. Stable manure had better be applied to the land the year before. Plant good 
sized pieces, each containing no less than two or three eyes, fifteen inches apart in the furrows, for early potatoes, 
and eighteen inches apart for late ones. ; 

The seed potatoes we send out will be not only strictly true to name, but hand-sorted, clean, healthy and 
vigorous. 

Change Your Seed. There is a profit as well as a satisfaction in planting our seed, for, not only is it pure, but 
the additional yield to be secured from a change of seed fully pays for the seed, so that the investment itself is nothing. 


TREATMENT OF POTATOES FOR ROSETTE (RHIZOCTONIA) 


Two ounces of Corrosive Sublimate or Mercuric Bichoride. 
Dissolve in one gallon hot water. After same is thoroughly dissolved, add 14 gallons of cold water. 
Use only in wooden vessels—rank poison. Use care about handling after treatment. 


DIRECTIONS FOR DIPPING 


Put in solution either loose or in sacks and allow to remain for two hours. Then remove to clean place, where 
there is no danger of disease germs. 

Fifteen gallons of solution is sufficient to treat as many potatoes as the solution will cover four separate times. 

Treat only clean stock.

RADISH 
1 oz. 50 ft. 10-12 lbs. per acre 

For the best results the soil should be light, well pulverized, rich and mellow to insure quick growing. Radishes 
permitted to grow slowly become tough and pithy. Light frosts will not kill young plants but will check the growth 
and they do best when kept growing right along. For a suc- 
cession of crop they should be sown about every ten days. 
During the hot months of summer the winter radishes will do 
better than the early sorts, which get stringy and pithy. Winter 
radishes can be stored in winter the same as potatoes and other 
roots, and furnish an acceptable relish through the winter 


months.

The Leader for Market 
The cut gives an idea of the shape of this attractive 
radish. The color is scarlet and white. It is extremely 
quick to mature, being ready for the table in 20 days 
from the time of sowing the seed. It is invaluable for 
forcing under glass, as well as for growth in the open 
air. The skin is very smooth, and its clear color gives 
it an appetizing appearance on the table. Its flavor is 
excellent, and its qualities high in all respects. Market 
gardeners find it a quick selling sort at good prices 
always above ordinary sorts, and it is no less satisfactory 
in the private or home garden. Selected stock seed.

Squash should be planted in warm, light, rich soil, after the weather has become thoroughly settled and warm, as 
they are very sensitive to frost and cannot be sown until all danger of frost is over. Plant in well-manured hills in 
the same manner as cucumbers or melons. The bushy varieties two to three feet apart each way and the running 
kinds six to eight feet. Eight to ten seeds should be sown in each hill; thinning out after they have attained their 
rough leaves and danger from bugs is over, leaving from three to four of the best plants in each hill. In gather- 
ing winter squashes, it is important to protect the stems, since if broken off the fruit will not keep so well.

1 oz. 300 plants. 2 oz. per acre. 

For early plants sow in hot-beds early in March, in drills five inches apart, one-half inch deep. When the plants 
are about two inches high, transplant into another four inches apart each way. Platn out in the open ground as soon 
as danger from frost is over, four feet apart each way, in hills. Water freely at the time of transplanting. When the 
first fruit is set, pinch off the ends of the branches to attain early fruit. Sufficient plants for a small garden can be 
grown in a small box or a large flower pot, by placing 
it in a sunny window in a warm room or kitchen. For 
late use, sow in sheltered border in May and set out the 
plants in July. The green fruits can be picked off be- 
fore frost and ripened under glass.

PURPLE TOP GLOBE TURNIP 


The best flavored and largest yielder grown. Without 
an equal for all purposes. 


This most popular of all market turnips originated 
from the purple top flat turnip. The shape is globular 
and of good size, and in appearance it is the best looking 
of all varieties of white globe sort, having an uneven 

. purple edging at the top. The flesh is firm, fine grained, 
white and of most excellent flavor. It is a fine keeper, 
extensively grown and pitted for fall and winter, and 
produces enormous crops. In our estimation it cannot 
be beat either for home or market planting. Pkt. 5c¢;

Tall Meadow Oat Grass (Avena Elatiog). Yielding twice 
as much hay as Timothy or Orchard grass, early as 
Orchard grass, with more leaf and affording better graz- 
ing, it is not strange that this grass is becoming so pop- 
ular. It will keep green all winter and all summer; the 
drought of midsummers or the cold of winter does not 
injure it. It starts growing very early in the spring, can 
be cut twice for hay, will yield good grazing until late 
in the fall. For hay, it should be cut while in bloom. 
It is best adapted for rather light and dry loamy up- 
lands, but gives excellent results on nearly all soils and 
better results than any other grass on light, medium soils.

abundance of moisture, it produces the very best results.

Alfalfa or Lucerne (Medicago Satiua). For our 
western country, possibly, this variety is the mos’ 
valuable forage plant. It is so well known and 
widely cultivated that a description hardly seems 
necessary. It thrives best on a sandy loam, the 
richer the better. It has a remarkable characteristic 
for rooting deeply in the soil, and in some instances 
it has been known to root as deeply as thirty feet. 
This feature alone makes it very hardy in arid 
regions. Although a prodigious yielder, it does not 
exhaust the soil, but rather improves the ground by 
the decay of the long roots, and converts it into 
rich ground, full of vegetable matter. The seed may 
be sown early in the spring, as soon as the frost 
is out of the ground, in order to catch the spring 
rains, as it needs moisture to germinate. In _]lo- 
ealities where irrigation is used, it can be sown suc- 
cessfully at any time during the summer months. 
Twelve to fifteen pounds is sufficient for an acre. 
Lb. 25c; 100 lbs. at market price. 


Alfalfa Turkestan. Produces a crop where the 
American varieties perish. This variety is far su- 
perior to the American product in that it withstands 
drought and cold weather where the other will perish. 
In addition to this it yields a larger amount of 
foliage to the plant, of a finer texture, and without 
any rough stems, so that stock can eat every particle. 
Our stock has come from abroad and is guaranteed 
dodder free. Purity test 99 per cent; germination

Bokhara or Sweet Clover (Melilotus Alba). Tall 


shrub plant. Grows from four to six feet high, with

abundance of excellent food for bees throughout the

Alfalfa or Lucerne 


Alsike Clover (Swedish Hybrid) is recommended both for sow- 
ing with Timothy and also with the Red and Mammoth Clovers, 
as well as for a crop by itself. The 


use of Swedish Alsike Clover is increasing rapidly; cattle prefer 
it to other clovers. It lasts longer, is hardier, standing adverse 
conditions, both of summer and winter weather, better than 
the ordinary clovers, and is also better adapted for grazing pur- 
poses. It is somewhat similar in growth and appearance to Red 
Clover, but has a lighter colored bloom. Farmers have in recent 
years been sowing Swedish Alsike Clover in mixture, both with 
Red and the Mammoth and other grasses, claiming that it tends 
to insure good stands and better crops of clover than sowing the 
Red or the Mammoth alone, the quality of the hay thus produced 
is excellent. It is very fine for honey bees. Sow at the rate of 
six or eight pounds per acre; sown in mixture, five or six pounds 
per acre is sufficient. Lb. 40c; 100 lbs. at market price.

is usually cut wnen it is in blossom for hay; the last crop may 
be harvested for seed, cut for hay, or plowed under to add fer- 
tility to the soil. Sow either in the spring or fall, and if no other

P.-W.’s GRASS AND CLOVER SEED MIXTURES 


For Permanent Meadows and Pastures 


Our well balanced mixtures are made up of a number of native and acclimated grasses and clovers, blended in such 


a way as to best suit the climatic and soil conditions found in our intermountain regions. 


We have aimed in these 


splendid combinations to supply such varieties that will form a deep rooting turf and that will yield, year after year, 


the greatest amount of hay or furnish the most constant and abundant pasturage. 


To the dairyman or farmer who 


has lands adapted for pastures the value of a carefully prepared seed mixture can hardly be estimated. With these 


mixtures and with the proper kinds of dairy cows, it is possible to realize at least one hundred and fifty dollars per 


acre annually from every acre that has been carefully seeded and attended to. 


The following mixtures will be found desirable and well proportioned for the kind of soils specified. 


P.-W.’s Mixture No. 1. For upland pasture under ir- 
rigation. The main varieties of this combination are 
Kentucky Blue Grass, Perennial Rye Grass, Red Topped 
Orchard Grass, Tall Meadow Fescue, Red Clover, Lucerne

EMMER OR SPELTZ 


Emmer or Speltz. A valuable grain from Russia. Grown 
‘in the United States for several years. It is adapted to a 
wide range of soil and climate, and is of superior feeding 
value, yielding much more heavily than oats and barley. 
This grain grows tall, like rye, and matures as early as 
barley, and yields from 40 to 80 bushels to the acre, and 
from four to six tons of straw hay. Tough and hardy, it 
‘Stands the drought better than any other grain, making 
it a sure crop. Prepare your land as you would for wheat 
or oats, and sow at the rate of 75 or 100 Ibs. per acre. 
Sow very early in the spring or fall, and do not let it 
stand until it gets too ripe before cutting as any grain 
that yields well, shells easily. In the green state it makes 
an excellent pasture. Lb. 10c; 100 Ibs. at market price.

MARQUIS WHEAT 


A variety produced by scientifie cross-breeding of the old Caleutta and the frost- 
resisting Red Fyfe variety. First introduced by the Central Experiment Station in 
Ottawa, Canada, and has since rapidly displaced many other varieties in the North- 
west and in Canada. In appearance Marquis Wheat is similar to Red Fyfe, but the 
heads as a rule are heavier and the stalks shorter, making it less likely to lodge. The 
kernel is flinty, a little darker red and more plump than Fyfe. It is beardless, having 
smooth yellow chaff, but its most valuable feature lies in its earliness, as it matures 
a week or ten days earlier than Red Fyfe. Yields 40 to 50 bushel per acre. Price, 10

SUDAN GRASS 


The new Forage Plant that will solve your hay problems 
The U. S. Department of Agriculture introduced this new forage plant into the 
United States in 1909, the seed being brought from Soudan, Egypt. It was there known 
as “‘Garawi’’ Grass but has been named ‘‘Sudan” Grass in this country. 


Description 


Sudan is a tall, annual grass, reaching a height of from seven to nine feet when 
planted in rows and allowed to mature for a seed crop; broadcasted and cut “in the 
bloom” for hay, about four feet. It dies each year like sorghum and millet and must 
be seeded each spring, so can never become a pest. It stools very freely, throwing out 
many stems from one crown. 

It is easily cured and handled as a hay crop. The seed is retained well, there being 
very little loss from shattering. Stock of all kinds eat it readily and will leave any 
other hay for it. No vaneful effects follow feeding it to work stock. The food value 
is second only to alfalfa. 


When and How to Plant and Harvest 


Here Sudan Grass is easily injured by frost and therefore should not be planted 
until all danger of frost is past. 

For a combined hay and seed crop, it is recommended that the crop be planted in 
cultivated rows, thirty-six inches apart, using about two pounds of seed per acre. 
This will bring good results in sections having a rainfall of from fifteen to twenty 
inches per annum. With double this precipitation, or where irrigated, plant in rows 
eighteen inches apart, using from 4 to 6 pounds of seed per acre. Any common planter 
may be used for this planting, regulated to drop a few seed to the hill and the hills 
not less than eighteen inches apart. 

Broadcast seeding for a hay crop, using wheat, alfalfa or similar seeder, requires 
from twelve to twenty pounds of seed per acre. The cuttings after the first will produce 
a better quality of hay with the minimum amount of seed used for the reason that the 
plants fill have more room to stool and throw out stems or shoots. 

A rather firm seed bed is best. The ground should be plowed and harrowed down 
well before planting. 

A seed crop should be cut with a row or grain binder and threshed in the same 
way as grain, while the hay crop is handled in a manner similar to that of any other 
such crop. 


Production 


The yield of seed varies from 500 to 1,000 pounds per acre. When cut for hay it 
yields an immense tonnage of excellent feeding quality. Price, Ib. 35c; 100 Ibs. at :

CORN, Field Fodder and Ensilage 


For grain, sow in hills, 3 feet apart, 8 to 10 pounds per acre. For fodder or ensilage, sow in drills, 3 feet apart, 
60 pounds per acre, or if sown broadcast, 120 pounds per acre. 

There is perhaps no crop of more value to the dairy farmer during the hot summer months when the pastures are 
dry than a nice green field of fodder corn. Though the varieties of field corn we list can be matured and are profit- 
able as a grain crop, it is our opinion the greater value is secured in most sections of the Rocky Mountain states by 
feeding the fodder green, or using for ensilage.

Australian White Flint (90 days). The earliest and surest variety. Will endure more drouth and cold than any 
other variety known. Grows to a height of six to ten feet. Ears varying from eight to ten inches long. Usually 
eight to ten rowed, one to two ears on stalk. 


Iowa Silver Mine. The ears are very large, growing from 10 to 12 inches in length, and are quite uniform in 
size and shape, containing 16 to 20 rows of deep kernels, on comparatively small cob. Stalks grow to a height of 
about eight feet on good soil, and ears are set about three and one-half to four feet from ground. 


Pride of the North. Next to P.-W.’s Improved Leaming this by many planters is considered the most valuable 
corn for the Silo. While it has smaller ears than the later kinds, yet it is valuable to grow, as it matures much 
earlier. Planted as late as July 4th, it has been known to be fully matured by October Ist. 


Yellow Dent. This is an early Dutch variety, ripening about the same time as the flint sorts. It can be grown 
in almost any locality. The stocks are large, with broad leaves. Ears eight to ten inches in length; 16-rowed; 
golden yellow, making a good quality for meal. 


Red-Cob Ensilage. A pure white corn on a red cob. It is sweet, tender, juicy, has short joints and produces an 
abundance of foliage. Every dairy farmer should grow this sort; it will produce very large crops. Grows 12 feet 
high; has broad foliage and tender stalks. Will keep up the flow of milk during hot weather when the grass is 
burnt up.

FIELD PEAS 


Stock Growers, Dairy Farmers, Orchardists and Gardeners everywhere should be interested in this, one of the most 
useful for all purposes of any Farm Crop. 


Field Peas have forged to the front rank on account of exceptional utility. San Luis Valley in Colorado is 
now wintering and fattening sheep, hogs and cattle in greater numbers and at less cost accordingly than anywhere 
else in the United States and this is done simply with Field Peas. What has been accomplished there can be dupli- 
cated anywhere in the Rocky Mountain States. 


Dairy Farmers especially should read the article under the caption “‘Soiling Crops’’ written by Prof. J. C. Hog- 
enson of the Utah Agricultural College for the Utah Farmer, May 10, 1913, No. 41, Vol. IX. The value of Field 
Peas, Fodder Corn, Soy Beans and Vetch is there clearly shown by an actual experiment on a 6-acre plat near Salt 
Lake City, the average net value per acre of the crop after taking out the most of production was $124.00, this result 
was accomplished on ground where wevil had destroyed the Alfalfa. 


FIELD PEAS ADD TO THE SOIL 


And are extremely valuable as a Manurial or Cover Crop for market gardeners, orchardists and farmers for this 
purpose alone. In this connection an added value is given by treating the seed with Westrobac. See Fertilizers, 
page 93. 


“Peas could be made to bring more nitrogen to the soils of this country every year than is now purchased an- 
nually by the farmers at a cost of million of dollars.’-—Yearbook of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. 


Time for Sowing. Being very hardy the fear of rotting in the ground is not considered. The majority sow in 
April, although a pea-hay crop can be obtained if sown as late as in July. Early sowing is best, giving full 
season for matured crop. 

Quantity to Sow. When early sowing is made, 30 to 40 pounds of seed per acre makes a crop that covers the 
ground and produces good tonnage. If late sowing is made, 60 to 80 pounds per acre is advisable, as the crop 
does not get to matured growth. Thick sowing will aid in choking out weeds. 


Harvesting. If wanted as a pea-hay the growth should be at the period when the supply of nutriment in milk 
is in the vine just forming the pod, cut and cured like ordinary hay. This makes finest feed for dairy cattle; in 
fact, lambs, sheep, hogs and cattle relish this hay. If the peas are desired as dry grain, allow crop to mature and 


handle in shocks, threshing by machine, after thoroughly dry. The dry seed can be ground into a meal, or be fed 
whole.

Make Home Surroundings Beautiful by Planting P.-W.’s Velvet Green Lawn Mixture. 


LAWN SEED 


The ground should be well spaded and thoroughly raked, so that the soil is fine and free from lumps and its 
surface smooth, even and firm. If a thick, heavy sod is wanted quickly, seed should be sown at the rate of one 
pound to 150 to 200 square feet. It takes twiec as much seed to make a lawn as it does for raising hay and it fre- 
quently happens that good results are not obtained on account of scanty seed. After sowing, seed should be well 
raked in, and on a light sandy soil, well rolled. Heavy soils do not require much rolling when grass is established. 
The lawn may be much improved by rolling after each cutting. The best time to sprinkle is early in the evening. 
Lawns always do best if seeded in early spring or latter part of August, but when necessary to seed in midsummer it 
will be advantageous to sow a little oats with the lawn-seed to protect the tender grass from the intense heat of the 
sun. The weeds and foul grass, which most soils produce, can be kept down and destroyed by repeated mowing.

P.-W.’s VELVET GREEN LAWN MIXTURE 


The best lawn seed experience can suggest or that money can buy. Produces a beautiful permanent lawn 
in four to six weeks. 

The most important thing to consider in selecting seeds for lawn grass, is to obtain a proper mixture of 
several varieties, for two reasons. First, each variety is at its best during a certain part of the season. By 
properly choosing early, medium and late grasses, a smooth, even, green lawn is assured from early spring to 
late autumn. Second, a given area can support only so many grass plants of one kind for they all absorb 
the same sort of food, but if several varieties are sown, the same area will support many more plants, as 
different sorts live on various elements in the soil. This will give a much thicker and more luxuriant turf all 
over the lawn. 

With these facts in mind our P.-W.’s Velvet Green Lawn Grass Seed is scientifically combined. Our 
experience has given us an intimate knowledge of grasses, their habits and requirements. In P.-W.’s Velvet 
Green Grass Seed are included only the very best varieties—pure, clean and free from fould seed. Sow at 
rate of one pound to 200 square feet. Lb. 40c; 3 Ibs. $1.10; 10 lbs. $3.20. If by mail see page 7 for Postage.

FLOWER SEEDS 


Choice New and Standard Varieties, Specially Adapted to the Western Mountain States 


There is perhaps nothing one can do that would add more beauty to the home and surroundings for as little cost 
and trouble as a well cared-for garden. Only those who have tried cultivating a little patch of ground in the rear 
of the house know how much pleasure is really to be found in the work, and to what extent it entices one out of doors. 
Any one whose work does not keep him indoors from dawn until dark can try the experiment. An hour or two each 
day in the summer will transform the most unpromising ground into a thing of beauty, and the expense is trifling. 


HOW TO PLANT SEEDS INDOORS 


For all flower seeds which should be started indoors, and this includes some of our best flowers, such as Helio- 
trope, Lobelia, Salvia, Verbena, etc., the best plan is to use seed pans or small boxes, which should be filled to the 
depth of an inch with broken pots, coal ashes, or any rough material. The upper inch should be nice sifted soil, com- 
posed, if possible, of about one-third each of sand, leaf mould and light garden loam. Press firmly and evenly and 
water thoroughly the day before sowing. Sow seeds thinly over the surface, covering about one-eighth inch, pressing 
firmly. Cover with a pane of glass or one or two thicknesses of newspaper to prevent too rapid evaporation of the 
moisture, and keep an even temperature of 60 to 70 degrees. Water carefully. A single watering or too frequent 
watering usually leads to failure. Take off the glass after the seeds have germinated. When the seedlings are large 
enough to handle, they should be transplanted into similar boxes, an inch apart each way, or put into small pots and 
kept there until time to plant in the open ground. At all times they should have an abundance of air. 


SEEDS PLANTED OUT OF DOORS 


For most of the ordinary annual flowers, such as Sweet Alyssum, Calliopsis, Marigold, Mignonette, Nasturtiums, 
etc., the simplest method is to sow directly out of doors, when danger of frost is over in the space where they are in- 
tended to flower. The ground should be dug and raked fine on the surface. Sow the seeds evenly and thinly, either 
in lines or in beds, covering them over four times their size and firming the soil over them. Should they come up 
too thickly, as most of them will likely do, thin out so that the plants will stand from four to twelve inches apart, ac- 
cording to the variety. This plan is also adaptable to many varieties usually started indoors, such as Asters, Ver- 
benas, Stocks, ete., but as a rule their germination is more certain under glass, as they begin to flower so much easier 
when started indoors. The extra trouble is well repaid by their increased bloom period. 


WHEN TO PLANT HARDY PERENNIALS 


The seeds of most hardy perennials may be sown at any time from January to October. Early sowings should 
be made indoors in boxes in the same manner as described above. Or they may be sown out-of-doors in the spring, 
after the frost has past, and transplanted into their flowering places in early autumn or the following spring. Many 
varieties succeed best sown in autumn, in which case they should be sown in a cold frame, transferring them to their 
permanent quarters the following spring. Our aim is to secure the very best strains obtainable, both of home and 
foreign growth, adaptable to our intermountain region. And we have spared neither pains nor expense with this object 
in view.

P.-W.’s GIANT WAVED SPENCER SWEET PEAS 


The introduction of this type has created new interest and added to the popularity of Sweet Peas. They are quite 
distinct from the standard sorts, having large, round, open flowers of extraordinary size, usually measuring two 
inches across, with wavy standards and wide-spreading wings, a very large percentage bearing four of these im- 
mense blossoms to the stem, which is long and strong, making them of exceptional value for cutting. All of the sorts 
offered below have been thoroughly tested, and are just as easy to grow as the standard varieties. Our stocks are 
from one of the most critical growers in America and are second to none. 


Culture. Although the Sweet Pea does well in almost any soil, still one that is very rich and rather moist suits 
it best. Very early in spring, preferably in March and April ,sow the seed quite thickly in drills 2 inches deep, and 
later thin out the plants to 6 inches apart in the row. When the plants are about 5 inches high, or better still, be- 
fore sowing, place a trellis or brush along the rows for their support. The flowers should be picked frequently, be- 
fore the seed-pods form, otherwise the plants will soon stop flowering. 


Countess Spencer. A lovely soft rose-pink, shading 
deeper at the edges, the original of this type. 


Dobbie’s Cream. The finest primrose-yellow. 


Florence Nightingale. The largest and finest pure 
lavender. 


Florence Morse Spencer. Delicate blush with pink 
margin; a charmingly beautiful flower of very large 


size. 


Flora Norton Spencer. Clear azure blue. 
George Herbert. Bright rose-carmine; very showy. 


Helen Lewis (Orange Countess). Brilliant crim- 
son-orange, wings orange-rose. 


King Edward Spencer. Bright crimson-scarlet. 
Very large. 


Margaret Atlee. The best rich pink. 


Mrs. Hugh Dickson. Beautiful salmon-pink on a 
cream ground; extra fine. 


Othello Spencer. W. S. Deep rich maroon, very 
dark and adapted for many attractive combinations. 


Queen Alexandra Spencer. One of the first yet 
introduced. In color a rich bright scarlet; flowers 
of largest size. 


Senator Spencer. Striped purplish-chocolate on 
white.

size and splendid substance; long, strong stems.

about eighteen inches. From June until late summer they 
are literally a sheet of bloom. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c.; %4 Ib. 40c.

to flower within 45 to 60 days from seed sowing, or about 
two weeks sooner than tall Sweet Peas. The plants are of 
dwarf, bushy growth, 18 to 24 inches high, producing pro- 
fusely flowers of good size but having shorter stems than 
tall varieties.

A Field of Gladiolus at Centerville 


GLADIOLUS 


These are the most attractive and useful of all summer-flowering bulbs, and as a cut flower all through the 
summer months and well into the autumn they hold a place that cannot be taken by any other flower. Wonderful 
improvements are being made each year in the size, color and beauty of these flowers, and our list comprises 
only the best both in mixture and in named sorts. . 


Culture: For best results a good rich sandy loam is desirable, though they are easily suited both as to soil 
and location. The best time to plant is about the first of May, putting in the smallest bulbs first, and reserving 
the larger bulbs for later planting. A succession of bloom may be had from July to October by making plant- 
ings two weeks apart up to the end of June. To make a good show they should be planted from three to four inches 
apart each way. The depth to plant is regulated by the size of the bulb, the large bulb being covered about six 
inches deep, smaller ones from three to four inches. 


If wanted by mail the prices on single include postage. For large quantities the average weight is about 1 
pound per dozen. See page 7 for amount of parcel postage.

flowers; grand for bedding. For florists’ use it has no equal. Each 5c; per doz. 35c; per 100 $1.75.

All orders are filled in rotation as received. 


PLEASE NOTE CAREFULLY WHEN ORDERING 


First. Please use the order sheet and give explicit in- 
structions how you wish the plants sent. 

Second. Please don’t mix orders for seeds and plants 
together; all can be sent in one shipment, but it aids us 
materially if they are written on the separate order sheets 
supplied for that purpose. 

Third. Please don’t mix orders with letters. They should

HINTS UPON RECEIVING ORDER 


Caution. Be careful in unpacking to note everything, 
and either plant, or cover up with moist soil at once. 


Moisten the roots, and do not allow them to become 
dry. 
Treatment Before Planting. Before planting prune 


off all broken and extra long roots. Peach, Plum, Apri- 
cots, etc., should have side limbs and top cut back to at 
least half the length. 


Planting. Dig holes large enough to allow the roots 
of the tree to spread out in their natural position, care- 
fully placing the finest and best soil from the surface 
among the roots; when the soil is nearly filled in, thor- 
oughly settle the earth by filling the hole with water; after 
it settles, fill in the remainder of earth. In moist soils, 
the use of water to settle the earth is much better than 
treading the soil with the foot. °

A Block of Everblooming Roses (one year old) at Our Nurseries 


P.-W.’s. HOME GROWN ROSES 


OUR GREAT SPECIALTY 


The Rose is the joy of the rich man’s garden and the solace of the poor man’s front yard—it gives forth its 
beauty and perfume to the woman of fashion as well as to the toilers in the factory and on the farm. Certainly there 
is no plant in Floral Kingdom that will bring greater reward for cultivation than the Rose. 

In planting Roses be sure to remember that the hybrid perpetuals do best on heavy soils; the hybrid teas on the 
medium heavy soils, and the teas on the lighter soils. 


SOME THINGS TO OBSERVE 


Unpacking Roses. Should plants, when received, have a withered appearance, caused by an unusua] delay in 
transit (which seldom occurs), soak them in water for an hour or more so as to restore their vitality. 

How to Plant. The rose delights in an open, airy situation; all types are partial to clay loam, but will succeed 
in any ordinary soil if enriched with well rotted barnyard manure. Dig up the soil thoroughly to a depth of twelve 
to fifteen inches. When the bush is planted press the soil firmly over the roots. Make a basin around the plant, 
and water freely to exclude air and to settle the earth. 

Pruning. This operation is best performed during the dormant season. Most roses do better if moderately 
pruned. We usually remove from one-third to two-thirds of the past year’s growth, and all weak and decayed wood 
should be entirely cut out. As a rule the more vigorous the variety the more it should be pruned. Besides spring prun- 
ing, many of the Hybrid Perpetuals required to be pruned as soon as their first blossoming is over, in order to grow 
new wood for later blooming. It is always the new growth which gives flowers. Most people are apt to prune too 
sparingly, which retards rather than enhances the free-blooming of their plants. 

Spraying of Roses. See page 91 on Insecticides. 

Time for Planting. In this intermountain region, the best time for planting is in the spring, immediately after 
the frost is out of the ground, and as soon as the ground can be worked nicely. 

Winter Protection. We have found that the most satisfactory protection is to draw up a mound of soil from 8 to 
10 inches high around the base of the plants, then covering the entire beds after the ground begins to freeze with any 
loose material, such as strawy manure, leaves, etc.

P.-W.’s EVER-BLOOMING TEA ROSES 


The roses of this class are easily distinguished by their delicate fragrance and shades of color. Not being as 
hardy as the Perpetuals and Hybrid Teas, they should be planted where they are protected from cutting winds. They 
prefer a rich, warm, dry soil and moderate pruning, removing all the unripe and weak wood. Protection in the way 
of straw, litter or leaves is necessary in the fall. They bloom in great perfection during the entire summer and au- 
tumn, being especially fine during the autumn months. 


Burbank. A hardy, free-flowering, free-blooming rose; fine 
double form, nearly three inches across. Color deep rose-pink, 
shading to beautiful soft rose at the center. Delightfully 
fragrant.

edge of petals; large, full and beautiful form; buds long and 
elegant; free bloomer. Gold Medal Rose. 


PAPA GONTIER. This is probably the most popular red rose 
in the whole list;’the bush, which is of strong growth and al- 
ways furnished with an abundance of healthy foliage, is an 
incessant bloomer; it is much sought after for cut flowers on 
account of its magnificent buds; color, rich cherry red; no col- 
lection is complete without it. 


LADY HILLINGDON. One of the recent introductiors of 
the Tea class, and has taken the medal over all yellow roses, 
the color being one almost beyond description, apricot yellow 
shaded to orange on the outer edge of the of the petal, be- 
coming deeper and more intense toward the center of the bloom. 
The color does not fade after the bloom is cut, but invariably 
becomes darker. Buds are produced on long, strong, wiry stems, 
well above the foliage, producing a slender graceful effect. A 
strong, hearty grower. Price 60c each. 


WHITE MAMAN COCHET* Free bloomer, bearing magnifi- 
cent buds and flowers, standing at the very head of all roses 
as the best white for open-ground culture. 


PINK MAMAN COCHET.* The Queen of all Garden YELLOW MAMAN COCHET* One of the very best 
Roses. The buds are large, full and firm, elegantly pointed,

HERBACEOUS PERENNIAL PLANTS—Continued 
HARDY PHLOX 


Phlox are a garden in themselves. Ther is nothing quite equal to them in all-round good qualities. 

Formerly they consisted of white and a few dull shades of pink and purple, but not so now. There are va- 
rities of the most vivid crimson, the slearest and softest shades of pink, clear mauves and purples, and snowy white. 

Phlox succeed in almost any soil and position, and flower through a long season; and while they will continue 
in good condition and flower freely for many years without attention, yet they respond quickly to and are im- 
proved by liberal cultivation. They should be planted in October or November, or in the very early spring.

PAEONIES (Double Herbaceous) 


The Paeony, of all the list of bulbous or tuberous- 
rooted plants, is perhaps the oldest and best known 
inhabitant of the flower garden. Paeonies will do 
well in almost any garden soil, but the better en- 
riched the more vigorous the growth. 


An important point to observe in the planting of 
Herbaceous Paeonies is not to plant too deep. The 
roots should be placed so that the crowns are covered 
with two inches of soil. Too deep planting is a 
frequent cause of shy flowering.

HARDY ORNAMENTAL CLIMBING PLANTS 


Your home, outbuildings, fences and trunks of old trees can be made very attractive by the use of hardy vines. 
Such permanent improvements add greatly to the value of your property, and the value increases from year to year. 


We furnish nice, strong field-grown plants at prices given below. 


Boston Ivy 


Ampelopsis Engelmanii (New Virgniia Creeper). A new 
variety of American Ivy which has long been desired. 
It has shorter joints and very much smaller and thicker 
foliage. It also is better equipped with tendrils, by which 
it will climb walls of stone or brick as closely as the Boston 
Ivy. This variety has proved itself perfectly hardy. Will 
grow in almost any soil and withstands drought and heat 
well. Each 50c. 


American Ivy (Virginia Creeper or Woodbine) (Ampel- 
opsis Quinquefolia). A strong, rapid grower; foliage

outbuildings, arbors, ete. Perfectly hardy everywhere, and 
will grow in any soil and situation. Each 40c. 


Boston or Japan Ivy (Ampelopsis Veitchi)... One of the 
finest climbers for covering walls, as it clings firmly to 
the smoothest surface, covering it evenly with overlapping 
leaves, which form a perfect mass of foliage. The color 
is fresh, deep green in summer, changing to bright shades 
of crimson and yellow in autumn. The handsomest vine 
possible for growing on house walls, especially the foun- 
dation and the first story, around the doors and windows. 
When once established it is hardy. Each 50c. 


Apios Tuberosa. A hardy tuberous-rooted climber, re- 
sembling in miniature the common Wistaria in vine and

ORNAMENTAL TREES 


A city street is not attractive unless softened by the foliage and branches of trees. They shelter the home from 
excessive heat and dust, add charm to the finest buildings and hide the untidy and unsightly places. There is noth- 
ing that adorns a city more than fine shade trees, and the effect is much better when only one kind of a tree is 
planted on the same street, or, at least, on the same block. 


Get your neighbors to co-operate, agree upon some suitable tree, then 
plant trees of uniform size at equal distances apart on the whole block, and 
you will enhance the value of your property and have a street that lends 
contentment and refinement to every home. 


The following list of deciduous trees (those that lose their leaves in au- 
tumn) embraces a selection for all purposes. For street planting, among the 
leaders for the Rocky Mountain States are Bolleana Poplar, Oriental Plane, 
Linden, Catalpa, Maples, Tulip Trees and others; while for lawn and park 
planting this varied list covers trees of every characteristic in outline and 


habit, color of foliage and floral diversity.

It is very easy to transplant trees successfully if these directions are followed: 


With “Our Quality Trees” the most inexperienced men can set out orchards with the highest degree of success. 
Experience has taught us that 90 per cent of the trees that die do so because the persons who planted them did not 
have directions for transplanting to follow, or did not follow the ones they had. Were it possible for us to plant 
and care for the stock we send out we would willingly insure the growth of every tree and plant. These directions 
are invaluable to you, for if they are followed your trees, plants, etc., can be set out with the surety of a reasonable 
degree of success.

GUARANTEE OF GENUINENESS 


Our Fruit Trees are all budded or grafted from bear- 
ing trees, and every care and precaution is exercised to 
have them true to name. With all our caution, mis- 
takes are liable to be made; but we hold ourselves in 
readiness, on proper proof, to replace all trees and other 
stock that may prove untrue to label, free of charge, or 
refund the amount paid. It is mutually understood and 
agreed to between the purchaser and ourselves, however, 
that our guarantee of genuineness shall, in no case, make 
us liable for any greater sum than that originally paid 
us for the trees, etc., which may prove untrue. 


es’ ona imeem 


No other fruit succeeds over so wide a range of territory 
and under such diversified climatic conditions, and no other fruit 
brings so sure a return to the grower in proportion to time and 
money expended upon its production. With proper selection of 
varieties, location of soil, and subsequent intelligent management, 
there can be but little risk in planting the apple, which is now 
no longer a luxury but a staple article of food. The apple has 
few rivals among cultivated fruits. Its mild and pleasant acid 
is a panacea for many of the ills that the human race is heir 
to. No fruit can be more pleasant to the palate or more beau- 
tiful to the eye than the rich, ripe apple when plucked from the 
tree, or more Juscious and healthful when cooked.

quired for an acre.

HELP YOUR COUNTRY! 


In a proclamation to the people of the United States President Wilson said: 


“These, then, are the things we must do and must do well besides fighting— 
the things without which mere fighting would be useless. We must supply 
abundant foor for ourselves, for our armies and for our seamen—not only for 
them, but also for a large part of the nations with whom we have now made 
common cause—in whose support and by whose side we shall be fighting. 
Everyone who helps greatly to solve the problem of the feeding of the nations 
puts himself or herself in the ranks of those who serve the Nation.” 


AN EXTRA 100,000,000 LBS. OF POULTRY REQUIRED 


In addition to above from the President of the United States, the Department of Agriculture 
at Washington have made it plain that an additional one hundred million pounds of poultry must 
be produced this year if we hope to keep ourselves and our allies supplied with meat. 


ARE THERE ANY CHICKENS IN YOUR BACK YARD? 


Every little helps. Think what it would mean for just ten thousand people to raise ten 
ehicksens a piece—400,000 pounds of meat—to say nothing of the eggs. 


On this subject Prof. J. C. Graham, of the Mass. Agri-ultural College in a recent bulletin writes as follows: 


“Never before * * * has the necessity been so great as at present for making use of the 
back-yard in helping to reduce the high cost of living. One of the best ways of doing this is to 
keep a small flock of hens, or raice a few chickens. Such flocks have long been considered very 
profitable indeed, due to the fact that much of their feed comes from garden refuse and from the 
house in the form of table scraps. A profit of from $2 to $3 a hen is the usual thing but it is 
not uncommon to find flocks that yield a profit of from $4 to $6 per hen. * * * A coop 6 ft. 
by 8 ft. or 8 ft. square is plenty large enough for a flock of ten or a dozen hens, and these coops 
need not be expensive.” &% 


THE POULTRYMAN’S CHANCE FOR PROFIT AS WELL AS PATRIOTISM 


Mr. George Cugley, President of the Buckeye Incubator Co. and perhaps one of the best authorities on the Poultry 
situation in America, had this to say in addressing a recent convention of agriculturists: 


“As a member of the Committee on Federal Aid in the American Poultry Association, and 
therefore perhaps more conversant with the actual situation than others, I want to say that you 
will make a greater profit on the poultry you raise during the next twelve months than you ever 
made on any you may have raised before, and I say this in spite of the high prices of feed and 
other supplies that your chickens may consume. For exery extra dollar that goes out, you will see 


two dollars coming back, because we are going to see chickens and eggs selling for prices that we 
have never dreamed of before.” 


Of all the years in history this should be the most active in the poultry industry. And so we say, with all sin- 
cerity, that we believe it will pay—and pay handsomely—to keep poultry now. Those who have but limited space 
should maintain small flocks; those who know how to get results, should increase their commercial flocks as rapidly as 
possible. If the money doesn’t interest you, do this as a matter of patriotism because your country needs your help. If 
profit is the impelling motive, keep poultry and get your share of the war profits. 


But under no conditions tolerate half-way measures in poultry management. Work to secure maximum production. 
The greatest national good and the greatest financial gain both spring from this common source. 


To the end that the Best Line of Poultry Supplies and Equipment shall be at the “finger ends” of the new beginner 
or the old operator who is enlarging, we haye greatly increased our stocks of Foods, Remedies and Accessories as well as 
secured the General Agency for this region, of the two American Leaders, the Buckeye and Queen lines of Incubators 
and Brooders. So this year as in the past we are “Johnny on the Spot” with Quantity, Quality, Bottom Prices and the 
right kind of service. Let us help you solve your problems in this line.

BUCKEYE INCUBATORS 


It is no longer considered a feat to build an incubator that will hatch “some” chickens from ‘‘some” of the eggs placed 
in it (there are many such incubators on the market), but the truly successful incubator is the MACHINE THAT WILL 
HATCH A CHICKEN FROM EVERY HATCHABLE EGG—+the viborous kind of chicks that start to grow the moment 
they are hatched, and continue to grow without forcing or doctoring. 


THAT’S THE KIND OF HATCHES THE BUCKEYE PRODUCES, and has been producing for twenty-five years. 
That’s why they have been able to sell over four hundred thousand Buckeyes to all kinds of people, in all parts of the 
world—with such an absolute guarantee—and it’s because they have never had as much as one machine out of every 
thousand go wrong that they so freely and willingly sell them on 40 days’ approval—TO BE RETURNED FOR EX- 
CHANGE AT THEIR EPENSE if they don’t do all they claim. 


The case is made of California redwood, and beautifully 
finished like a piece of fine furniture. It has perfectly in- 
sulated double top, and the walls are so constructed that the 
necessary temperature can easily be maintained in any lo- 
cation—even if it be freezing or up to 100 degrees. 


A Standard Buckeye Metal Thermostat regulates the tem- 
perature to a fraction of a degree. With this device it is 
only necessary to regulate the temperature when the hatch 
is started—then you forget it—because the regulator stays 
where you put it and the temperature of the egg chamber 
cannot change. 

The Tank is an improved design that absolutely insures 
a uniform temperature throughout the egg chamber. This 
means that the temperature of each and every egg will be 
exactly right, and if there’s a chick in the egg—you'll 
get it. 

A Standard Buckeye Thermometer is included with each 
incubator—also a standard thermometer-holder. With this 
equipment the correct temperature is always shown and the 
thermometer is always in its proper position. 

Order early. Only a limited number are carried in stock

QUEEN INCUBATORS 


Stop hatching weak chicks with cheap incubators. A 
Queen costs but little more, and the extra chicks that live 
and grow soon pay the difference. 


Remember, it is not how many chicks you hatch that 
counts, but how many you raise. Chicks that hatch out 
weak and wobbly, and live but a few days, mean nothing to 
you but trouble and loss. They make one sick of the poul- 
try business. 


Most of the chicks you lose in the first few weeks die be- 
cause they did nit have, when hatched, enough strength or 
vitality for a good start. Queen Incubators are famous the 
country over for big hatches of strong, healthy chicks that 
live and grow. 


PROPER INSULATION 


The Queen in double insulated. First we use double walls 
of California Redwood, forming a dead air space. Second, 
corrugated strawboard is used between the wooden walls. 
Proper insulation adds considerably to the manufacturing 
cost: However, is is an absolute requirement of a good in- 
cubator. 


QUEEN HOT WATER HEATING 


The Queen System of hot water heating prevents the dry- 
ing-out tendencies found in hot air incubators and provides 
a soft, uniform heat over every part of the egg chamber— 
a heat that is most natural for the hatching eggs. The cir- 
culation of water through the radiator prevents any mois- 
ture being added or taken away from the eggs. When it 
becomes necessary to remove the lamp, the hot water cir- 
culating through the radiator maintains an even heat with- 
in the egg chamber without the slightest variation. 


BUILT OF CALIFORNIA REDWOOD 


Both Queen walls are built of genuine California Red- 
wood, which is unusual in these days of imitation and cheap 
substitution. Redwood does not absorb the odor from the : 
hatching eggs. Cheaper woods and pasteboard lining in iron and tin machines, retain the odors, to 
weaken and kill the hatching chicks.

QUEEN BROODER STOVES 


The Queen Colony Brooder is a new and improved design of 


pas i brooder stove. It is made of highest quality iron castings 
me that will wear and last indefinitely. 


heck 
vad a There are no drafts on the smoke pipe of the Queen. The 
the idirect check rests on top of the stove and opens outward when fire 
Guetta is too warm, thus giving a gentle inflow of air to retard the 


heat. While the opening of the draft to increase the fire is 
located at the top of the stove, it opens in to tne fire at the 
base through an opening extending down the side to the bot- 
tom. This feeds the draft into the fire from underneath with 
no opening below the hover. 


your fire. 


As will be seen from the illustration, the check and the 
draft lids are cast together and operated together. Thus, 
when the fire is too hot, the wafer expends and closes the 
draft and opens the check, both at the same time. When it is 
too cool the wafer contracts and closes the check and opens 
the draft. This keeps an even heat all the time, both night 
and day, in cold weather or warm, and does it automatically. 
You don’t have to pay any attention to it whatsoever. Just 
set the regulator for the proper temperature at the start of 
the season—it will do the rest. 


SUPERIOR QUEEN GRATE 


The grate in the Queen stove is the rocker type and strikes the fire at four points. This is far 
superior to any draw center or shaker grate, because it cleans the fire thoroughly, and by striking 
at four points will break up and remove all clinkers. 


COLLAPSIBLE HOVER 


The hover used on Queen stoves is collapsible and made of four pieces of galvanized iron. This 
hover comes knocked down, with holes punched and stove bolts attached, ready for putting together. 
By being collapsible, it enables you to save room when storing, and lessens the danger of damage, 
when not in use. 


BURNS ANY KIND OF FUEL 


The Queen stove burns any kind of fuel with equally satisfactory results. We recommend chest- 
nut sizes in all kinds of fuel and hard or soft coal, coke, charcoal, or briquettes burn equally well. 
Of course, hard coal will not cause the pipe to become dirty as quickly as the others, but it will give 
no better heat. No. 1—Chick size, $19.50; No. 2—Chick size, $22.50.

LARROWE’S DRIED BEET PULP 
A TRULY WONDERFUL FEED 


Larrowe’s Dried Beet Pulp is the pure shredded root of the sugar beet, with only the sugar and 
water extracted; dried, sacked and ready for shipment in one hour from the time the beets enter 
the factory. It is clean, healthful, succulent, and cannot ferment or sour if kept in a dry place. 


It improves the health and increases the flow of milk. It furnishes more succulence than 
silage, greater digestibility, an abundance of carbohydrates—and it is just what is needed with al- 
falfa to make a perfectly balanced ration. 


It is uniform in color; never blackened or burned. It is light and bulky; swells to about six 
times its original bulk when moistened. Cattle take to it ravenously.

P.-W.’s CHICK MANNA 
The “Acme” of Dry Food for Baby Chicks 


This splendid preparation is made according to the best formula that 
science and experience has discovered to date. During the last few years 
we manufactured and distributed throughout the Intermountain region up- 
wards of a million pounds of P.-W.’s Chick Manna, and we have yet 
to receive the first complaint. Just how the critical poultrymen regard it is 
most aptly described in a letter from a large user as follows: 


“As long as you maintain the present quality of your chick food, you 
can count on me. Enclosed find check for 20 bags more. Please ship by 
first freight.” 


That’s the point—‘‘Maintain the quality.’”” We have set out to secure 
the trade of this region and cut out eastern importation, and there is only 
one way to do it—‘“‘highest quality’’ at reasonable price. 


P.-W.’s Chick Manna is made from pure grains, seeds and other es- 
sentials compounded in such proportions as to supply every need, except for 
water, of the baby chicks from one day to six weeks. With P.-W.’s Chick 
Manna there is no mixing, no mashes, no sick chicks, no bowel complaint. 
Once tried you will use no other. Feed dry and always ready. Every user 
pronounces it the best to date. 


Put up in our own printed bags. 4 Ibs. for 25c; 20 Ibs. for $1.00; 50 
Ibs. for $2. or 100 Ibs. for $4.25.

HOW TO FEED BABY CHICKS 


They should be fed nothing until they are 24 hours old. Keep them good and warm is all that is necessary.

Manna on the floor among an inch or two of alfalfa meal for 50 chicks. Only fed as much at a time as they eat 
up clean, and do not over-feed. Keep clean, fresh water before them all the time.

92 PORTER-WALTON COMPANY, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 


LARGEST AND MOST PROGRESSIVE GROWERS HAVE RENDERED THE VERDICT THAT 


“CORONA DRY” ARSENATE OF LEAD 


Is the “Standard” for Convenience, Economy, Efficiency for Applications With Water on 
Fruit Trees, Potatoes, Etc. 


The ease with which Corona mixes in water makes preparing for the spraying application a simple as well as 
accurate operation. It is unnecessary to make a paste of Corona and pass it through a strainer to know that the 
lumps are thoroughly broken up. Experience has shown that it is only necessary to shake the proportional amount of 
Corona into the spray tank and the agitator will quickly make an even and smooth mixture. For example—in spray- 
ing for codling moth, fill the spray tank with 50 gallons of water; weigh out one pound of “Corona Dry’ and 
shake it into the tank; a short period of agitation will give a thorough mixture ready to apply on the trees. A meas- 
ure sufficient to hold the proportional amount of Corona to the water in the tank 
will do away with the weighing each time. 


It is distinctive for quick poisoning—even application and great adhesiveness. 


Its purity and unusual chemical activeness give it highest poisoning power. 


Its fineness of subdivision and great suspension properties not only make ‘“‘Co- 
rona Dry’”’ cover more thoroughly, but cause it to adhere to the foliage longer. 


One pound of “Corona Dry” will do the work of three pounds of paste and : ORONA 
do it better. ; nuSTING SULPHUR 
i oust are ees 


a 


It can be kept indefinitely—will not freeze, dry out, cake or lose its strength. E 
“Corona Dry’ contains no water, therefore there is no shrinkage, seepage or 
evaporation. 


It is pure, containing nothing but Lead Oxide and Arsenic Oxide. Every package 
contains full net weight. 


Ask for the Corona Spray schedule. 


“CORONA DRY,” THE UNIVERSAL INSECTICIDE 


For the Home Orchard and Kitchen Garden, when used as a dusting application, will rid your place of bugs and 
worms just as it does for the commercial grower. Formerly, there was nothing which the small grower could use 
conveniently to kill insect pests. But now “‘Corona Dry’”’ is sold in small packages to meet the urgent ned of the man 
with a small garden or a few fruit trees. 


PREVENT INSECT PESTS ON VEGETABLES, FRUITS, FLOWERS, SHRUBS AND TREES 


Try the best known method of protecting your plants. This universal insecticide prevents their getting a start, 
or destroys them after they appear. Ideal for the home garden, small and large fruits, flowers and ornamental trees 
and shrubs. Kills all leaf-eating insects on ornamental and fruit trees. It is safe to use and will not “‘burn’”’ foliage. 


BEST FOR POTATO BUGS 


Superior to Paris Green because it covers the plant much more thoroughly. You can do the work twice as fast. 
It gets under the leaves better and kills the hidden bugs. Rain does not wash it off easily. ‘‘Corona Dry” is applied 
in dry dust form with Hand Duster. 

“Corona Dry” kills Corn Ear Worms, Currant Worms and dozens of other pests.

CORONA DUSTING SULPHUR 


The most common fungus diseases that annoy the gardener and orchardist are Early Blight on potatoes, Scab 
on apples and pears, and Brown Rot on peaches. Corona Dusting Sulphur is good for all these and can be used 
by itself of in combination with “Corona Dry,’”” mixing the two in equal proportions. The mixing will save time 
in application and is to be preferred. Corona Dusting Sulphur is put up in standard packages. Price: %-lb. carton, 
15c; 1-lb., 25c; 5 Ibs., $1 00.

“Corona Dry” and other Powders for Dusting Applicatione are best applied with this new Hand Duster, which is 
a mechanically perfect apparatus, emitting powders in clouds of right consistency from any position and in any di- 
rection, downward, upward or horizontally. The principle employed in the ‘‘Corona’’ Hand Duster was awarded the 
Gold Medal for mechanical efficiency at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition and no other dusting device in 
its class can approach it for efficiency, ease of manipulation, simplicity and durability. Price, $2.50 each.

Best for the West—Bred in the West 


By the use of WESTROBAC you supply your soil with its most essential constituent

The continued cropping of your fields is bound to decrease your supply of nitrogen— 
the most expensive of all plant foods to replace by the use of artificial fertilizers. 


WESTROBAC affords you a practical, cheap and efficient means of replacing your 
soil nitrogen by nature’s method. 


Over each acre of land there are about 30,000 tons of nitrogen. Your soil and 
plants can be made to avail themselves of this vast amount of nitrogen by inoculat- 
ing the seed with WESTROBAC before planting, at a cost of $2.00 per acre. 


The method of application is extremely simple and the time taken to apply it is 
negligible. It is a cheap crop insurance. 


We breed a separate bacteria for each legume crop and we breed each shipment 
to order, thus insuring you fresh and virulent cultures. 


WESTROBAC is bred for each of the following crops: 


Alfalfa, the Vetches, Clovers, Cowpeas, Field and Garden Peas, Sweet Peas and 
Beans of all varieties. 

In ordering care should be taken to specify which kind of seed you wish to

CAPACITY GOVERNS PRICE OF SEPARATORS 


The National is not overrated, as is often the case with other separators (price being 
governed by capacity), but will make perfect separation of the amount of milk claimed under 
ordinary conditions and have ample reserve capacity. You can absolutely depend upon the 
National to handle perfectly the amounts listed for the various sizes. No separator that has 
to be crowded to handle its advertised capacity will skim perfectly. 


Centrifugal force is the big factor in separating cream from milk, but centrifugal force 
alone is not sufficient and the aid of the wonderful Vortespoon is needed to give the proper 
amount of skimming surface—this combination gives ideal results. It should be specially noted 
that no mechanical contrivances are required between the Vortespoon and the feed tube, the 
globules of butter fat are, therefore, allowed to remain in a whole condition, the highest grade 
from which the finest butter is made, commanding the best prices. The National bowl, owing 
to the construction of the feed tube, flushes clean after using, not a particle of cream is 


MACHINE ON THE MARKET 


WHEN YOU BUY A SEPARATOR 


You want the one that skims the closest, summer or winter; that 
will handle milk from ‘“‘stripper’’ cows; that will produce cream 


of any kind desired density. 


A durable machine that will give everlasting satisfaction and 
service, at the minimum cost of up-keep; a separator that is me- 
chanically perfect, having the fewest parts, the greatest capacity 
for its size, the quickest, cleanest and easiest running. 


THE NATIONAL IS THE ONLY SEPARATOR 


That combines all the above and for 22 years has stood the test 
of time, maintaining its position against all competitors—and many 
of those first National Separators are in daily use after 20 years 


of service. 


CLEANED IN THREE MINUTES 


The superiority of the ‘National’ Cream Separator is due to 
the marvelous one-piece skimming device, the famous Vortespoon. 
Just one cylinder-shaped piece of the finest German nickel steel, 
extremely light in weight and large enough for any woman to put 
her arm through. 

A child can clean it in three minutes without risk of breaking 
or harming it. Just wipe off with a wet rag inside and out, and 


rinse in hot water and the job is done.

thing for weaning the calves as soon as they can be taken 
away from the cow. Then all the milk may be sold and 
you get the benefit of the high creamery prices. 


It is absolutely the only milk-substitute that contains all the 
elements necessary for rapid and healthy growth, and the only 
calf meal that is thoroughly cooked and prepared for digestion.
