A Section of Soil Tests For Germination at Our Centerville Greenhouses 


SEED TESTING 


Aside from the field tests to maturity carried on at our Centerville Trial Grounds, testing for 
germination is done in soil at our Greenhouses (see above cut). 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. Thousands 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, and fully measure to P.-W.’s High Standard. 


It is not enough that we have the intent to please and satisfy our customers—we have the 
system and the organization that almost entirely eliminates mistakes and gives to them those 


selected types, possessing the right “blood,” vigor and hardiness to produce thrifty, sturdy, pro- 
ductive plants. 


It is this scrupulous care in the growing, selecting and testing of our seeds that enables us to 
sell them on the following 


POSITIVE MONEY-BACK GAURANTEE 


that we have exercised the greatest care in growing, selecting, re-cleaning and testing all our 
seeds and know them to be of high quality and germination. We sell them with the distinct under- 
standing that if a mistake should occur and the seed should not be found as represented we will 
refund the entire purchase price of the seeds in question, but further than this, of course, we 


can assume no liability. We cannot guarantee the crop for we cannot control moisture, weather, 
pests and other contingencies. 


Please note what we say on Page 59 about Trees, Plants and Shrubs. 


ABOUT SERVICE 


The opportunity is taken to thank our patrons of last year for their liberal patronage 
which made our business by far the largest in our history. We did our best to give prompt, ef- 
ficient service, but with many of our staff still with “Uncle Sam,” we were seriously handicapped. 


This year we are fortunate in beginning with splendid stocks, an increased staff of experienced 
workers and much larger facilities in every wav. We confidently

At Hrvest Time All the Boys and Girls Are Happy Because They Planted P.-W.’s Mountain Grown ‘Tested Seeds 


HERE IS REAL MONEY FOR 25,000 BOYS AND GIRLS 


OUR DEAR YOUNG FRIENDS: 

This year we have a job for 25,000 real wide-awake, hustling boys and girls and there is good 
money in it, too, for everyone that works. 

This job is so very easy, any Boy Scout or schoolboy or girl can do it after school hours and 
at odd times, so it will not interfere at all with regular work or play. 

Now, what we want you to do is this:—Sell our “Junior Seed Collection” to your friends, neigh- 
b rs and all the rest of the people in your town, who plant a garden or have any ground where one 
can be planted. We know there are just any number of boys and girls and grown people, too, 
who will make a garden when they find out good seeds will cost such a small amount and how easy 
it really is to grow a lot of nice, crisp, fresh vegetables for the table and the wonderfully beauti- 
ful flowers that will make everybody cheerful and happy. 

Listen to this: For only 40c, you ean sell our “Junior Collection” of 12 big, well-filled packets 
of the choicest vegetable and flower seeds with full directions printed on each packet of just how 
to plant and take care of them. i 


Here is the list of Seeds in our Junior Seed Collection: 


1 pkt. Beets 1 pkt. Cress 1 pkt. Radishes 1 pkt. Poppies 
1 pkt. Carrots 1 pkt. Muskmelon 1 pkt. Spinach 1 pkt. Sweet Peas 
1 pkt. Cucumbers 1 pkt. Lettuce 1 pkt. Turnips 1 pkt. Tall Nasturtiume 


Just think of it! The above 9 big packets of Vegetable Seeds and 3 big packets of Flower 
Seeds—12 in all—for only 40c. 

With such a great bargain there is no doubt but what you will sell a collection to most every- 
one you try. And out of all you sell you keep one-third of the money for your share and send the 
rest to us. 

We want good honest boys and girls who are willing to get out and hustle. We know you 
belong to this class and that you’ll treat us right; we are therefore willing to trust you for 30 
days with 10 of our Junior Collections to start out with and when you have sold them you can send 
us your share of the money and order another “ten.’’ No doubt you’ll be able to sell several “tens” 
jpefore the spring is over. 

The thin, to do is to get busy right away, before some one else jumps in ahead of you. You 
don’t need to send us any money in advance. 

You don’t have to pay us anything until you have sold the seeds. If you don’t sell them all 
within the 30 days time allowed, you are to return all the seeds left and our share of the money 
for those you have sold. 

Fill out the order blank below, telling us your name, address and age. Remember to have 
your father, mother or Guardian sign, so we will know you have their permission, and that they 
know of the arrangements between us. We will send you the seeds by return mail. 

PORTER-WALTON CO. 


P. S. We want all the people in your town to know what good seeds and trees they can get from us. We don’t 
come out even on this collection you are selling for us, but we know when once they plant our seeds they will be so pleased 
they will always buy them after this. If any want our catalog send us their names and we will mail them a free copy. 
We would much rather pay you to help advertise than all the newspapers in the country, because. you are a lot more 
important and people will take more notice of you. 


Tear this order off here and mail to us.

Please send me at once by parcel post the ten “Junior Seed Collections.’”’ I promise to try my best to sell them at 
40c each, but in case I should have any left at the end of 30 days I will return them to you in good order, and for all

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. Vexetables of the best quality cannot be grown on barren sand, a cold, hard, lumpy clay, nor in the shade of 
orchard 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 liberalityw ith which fertilizers have been used. Well decomposed stable manure, where straw bed- 
ding 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 follows 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 vou know where these can be secured. After these are secured it is equally nec- 
cessary 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 6 and 7 fur 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 develo» 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 cultivated 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 lst 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 ap- 
parent 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 small family. The frame for sashes should be 18 inches high at the back and 12 inches in front, which will 
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 2'4 feet. Then put on the sashes, and keep the pit closed until the heat rises. At first it will probably be 100 de- 
grees 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 _ ther- 
mometer into the manure. The soil should be 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-torms keep 
covered with mats or board shutters. I 


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 pur- 
pose. 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 con- 
dition. 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 column 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, Kohl Rabi, 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 5 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 judgment for his 
particular case. Where garden cultivation is by wheel hoe and ample room is available, a greater distance is better 
employed. If the patch will be cultivated by horse, the distance 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 aproximately right for ideal conditions, but for sowing in wet soils that is too 
deep, and for sowing the same seeds 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.

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 
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 suving 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.

VEGETABLE SEEDS 
Selected Varieties, Superior Strains, Critically Grown and THOROUGHLY TESTED 


If such a rare circumstance should happen that 
your crop failed through the fault of the seed 
purchased from us, we will refill the order or 
refund the entire purchase price of the seeds in 
question. No seedsman in the world will do 
more, and most of them would do nothing after 
seed is accepted and planted. Of course we 
cannot guarantee or assume responsibility for 
the crop, as we cannot contro] the weather, soils, 
moisture, pests and other agents which make 
for success or failure. 


The thing we make, not only our business but 
out religion as well, is to furnish our customers 
with the right kind of fresh, vigorous, acclimated 
seeds, the important beginning of all success in 
gardening. 


Our “Market Gardener” Customers all appreci- 
ate the remarkable vigor and dependability of 
our Vegetable Seeds. The wonderful growth of 
our trade to this class of patrons has really as- 
tonished us. It is just an added testimony, how- 
ever, that the scrupulous, painstaking care in 
selection, cultivation, and testing exercised by 
our Mr. Walton, who has personal charge of this 
department, is winning everywhere our stocks 
are planted. 


Mr. Walton was a practical market gardener 
for 15 years before starting in the seed business; 
this accounts for his “crankiness” about “Quali- 


3 


it 


Conover’s Colossal 


ty and Dependability” in seeds; as no one realiz- 
es the importance of good seeds quite as much 
the one whose “bread and butter” depends on 
them. 


About Novelties—No expense or pains is 
spared to keep ourselves fully informed on the 
new developments in types and varieties. Thous- 
ands of competetive tests to maturity are made 
annually at our Cnterville Grounds. New va- 
rieties, both actual and “so-called,” from all 
available sources, are tried out. Those of real 
merit, adapted to our Western climatic condi- 
tions, we list under the proper headings, while 
those of inferior or doubtful value are either re- 
jected or held for further observation. We list 
nothing but what we have proved to be depend- 
able and worthy; such that will justly reward 
for cultivation. 


About Prices—All the prices on Vegetable 
Seeds listed herein are prepaid by us to your 
express or postoffice, unless otherwise specified. 
You are, therefore, as close to us as your Post 
Office. These prices are as reasonable as we 
can sell these seed in the quantities specified 
and will be adhered to during the season or as 
long as the stocks last. To All Who Buy in 
Larger Lots Than Those Listed Here, Please 
Ask for Our Special “BLUE LIST” for Prices. 
It costs us less accordingly to handle large 
orders, and you are entitled to the saving. 


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 Febru- 
ary and transplanted in the field about the latter part of March 
or April. With slight winter protection will remain in bearing 


or 4 years. 
LARGE GREEN GLOBE—The most popular variety, buds 


lanes, globular, deep green with a slight tint of purple at base.

Jerusalem (Tuberous Rooted)—While there are some who 


like the tubers for table use and we list this variety here; in our 

estimation, however, its best purpose is for a hog pasture for 

which it is admirably adapted; when once established it is hard

s. $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, 
eut 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 graden 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 porduce plants suf- 
ficient for an acre, and an ounce of seed will sow a drill fifty 
feet long. 


CONOVER’S COLOSSAL—The standard variety for all pur- 


poses, especially for canning. It makes large, thick, wide, 
tender shoots of very greenish-white color, and we recommend 


as the best variety for general cultivation that has come under 


our observation. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; %4 Ib. 25c; Ib. 80c, Postpaid.

An extra early, round green-podded bush bean of fine quality. 
Long, round green pods always solid, tender and of delicious 
flavor. An ideal Snap Bean, producing a fine crop of round, 
straight, solid, fleshy pods, averaging 64% inches long, wonder- 
fully 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 quali- 
ties, maturing the crop very regularly. It is extra early, the 
pods being fit to pick four days in advance of any other variety 
of approximate size and merit. In our estimation, the best for

SEED AND NURSERY SPECIALISTS FOR WESTERN U.S. A. 11 


DWARF LIMA BEANS 


We recommend the Dwarf or Bush type as being much more desirable than the Pole Limas. They are of easier culture 
as the vines require no support; the beans are fully equal in quality and yield, maturing much earlier; a very decided 
advantage, especially for the Mountain States. Plant the seed , if possible, in rich, light soil after all danger of frost is 
over. For kitchen garden the rows should be about 18 inches apart and for field cultivation two or three feet; drop the 
seed 3 to 4 inches apart in the row, covering 1% to 2 inches deep. If planted in hills, make them 2 to 3 feet apart 
each way and four to six beans in a hill. Limas will not thrive in over moist soils. Of the great number of varieties 
tested out we have selected two which we think best adapted. 


BUSH LIMA OR DWARF SIEVA 


This variety is sometimes known as Henderson’s Bush 
Lima. It is one of the earliest dwarf sorts, extremely 
hardy and productive. The plants grow without runners 
and continue to grow and set pods until killed by frost in 
the fall.. 

Pkt. 10c; % If. 25c; Ib. 40c, Postpaid. 


BURPEE’S IMPROVED BUSH LIMA 


Our trials show this to be the earliest maturing of all 
the large-seeded Limas, and it is the equal or better in all 
the other qualifications that go to make up a desirable bean, 
either for the home garden or for market. This variety is 
decidedly best for all purposes of the Large Limas. 

Pkt. 10c; % lb. 25c; lb. 40c, Postpaid. 


SHELL BEANS 


All of the sorts we list under this division are grown exclusively to use as shell beans for winter use. They are 
grown extensively as a field crop. For horse cultivation they should be sown in rows three to four feet apart, dropping 
about three seeds to the hill one foot apart in the row. Bean drills are used on large acreages. The quantity per acre 
sown varies with the sort and soil condition all the way from 10 lbs. to 40 lbs. per acre. For dry situations by all 
means use the Tepary or the Mexican Pinto, but where water is plentiful and you are growing for market, the White 
Navy is the best known commercially. The Pink Eye is a splendid variety for home use. 


TEPARY OTHER GOOD VARIETIES 
The Great Dry Farm Bean for the West MEXICAN PINTO—Decidedly rich in food value; extra 


A Z 4 heavy cropper. 
This variety has been raised by the Indians in arid tracts Pink Eye—Large winter shell bean; white with pink 
of the West for, perhaps, centuries. At any rate it survives 


spot at center. 
and produces a crop where the rainfall is as low as 7 to WHITE NAVY—The well known small white Boston 
9 inches. It is not only a wonderful drowth resister, but 


baking bean. 
a hardy, rapid grower as well, maturing a crop in from English or Broad Windsor—Immense size; known as the 
70 to 90 days. It produces where all others fail. Pkt. 10c;

BEET—(TABLE VARIETIES) 


1 oz. 50 ft. 4-6 Ibs. per Acre. 


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 the ground can be worked. When the young plants are two or three inches high, thin 
to five or six inches. The young plants that are pulled out make delicious “greens,’’ considered by many, superior 
even to spinach. It is a common practice to plant the seed extra thick to assure an abundance of these tender, fresh 
plants to use for this purpose. Sowings should be made for succession at least one a month up to the first of July, at 
which time we recommend making a large sowing to produce a supply of well grown roots for winter use. If the 
roots are gathered on the approach of cold weather and packed in slightly moist earth, they can either be kept in a 
cool cellar or pitted outside the same as potatoes or other root crops. In this manner they can be kept in perfect con- 
dition until spring. 

After repeated comparative tests we recommend Crosby’s Early Egyptian as the best first early for market garden- 
ers. It is just as early as the old Extra Early Flat Egyptian, larger, of much finer texture and better color and for oren 
ground culture much to be preferred. For all purposes and general planting the Detroit Dark Red is still the leader, 
thourh there is a probability this old favorite may be outclassed by the ‘“New Crimson Globe,’’ which we offer this year 
for the first time. 


CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN 


This is more globular in shape than the Extra Early Egyptian, 
and one of the best known and most popular varieties. It is 
very early and of fine anality. Bright red with clear vermillion 
flesh. Our choice as a first early. ..Pkt. 5c; oz. 15ce; %4 Ib. 40c;

DETROIT DARK RED 


Extended experience has shown this variety to be the best 
deep red turnip beet, not only for market gardeners, but for 
the home garden. Its splendid shape and color of the roots, 
make it popular with everyone who plants it. Tops small, up- 
right-growing, so that the rows may be close together; leaf- 
stems and vines dark red, blades green; roots globular or ovoid, 
peculiarly 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 produce a crop more uniform in 
shape, color and quality than any other beet seed obtainable.

NEW CRIMSON GLOBE 


A perfect beet in all respects; brilliant crimson in color, globe- 
shaped, with a very smooth skin, and an exceedingly small tap- 
root, fine grained, sweet in flavor, and tender at all times. The 
foliage is small, admitting of close planting. Not only a market 
gardener’s sort, but one of the best for the kitchen garden. 
Very close to the Detroit Dark Red, apparently a trifle earlier.

BEET—FOR SUGAR 


When planted for sugar crop, from six to eight pounds of seed will be required for an acre. Seed may be sown 
in drills twenty to thirty inches apart. When beets are up two or three inches high, they should be thinned out so 
as to stand from six to eight inches apart. Discoutinue cultivation after formation of roots has commenced. On ac-- 
count of the amount of saccharine contained in the Sugar Beet, it is much relished by stock, and as a fattener it is 
Nery auan le, but does not yield the tonnage that is common with the regular Mangel Wurtzels and the Half-Sugar- 

c eets. 


KLEIN WENZLEBEN—This variety is without question the best in cultivation; not the largest, but the richest in) 
saccharine matter. 


VILMORIN’S IMPROVED—A little smaller than Klein Wenzleben. A variety for sugar factories.

BEETS FOR STOCK FEEDING 


The tremendous importance of Stock Beets to every Stock and Dairy Farmer in America 
should be shouted from the housetops. The farmer who is not awake to the MONEY MAKING 
POSSIBILITIES OF THIS CROP has overlooked one of the most profitable crops know to agri- 
culture. JUST THINK OF IT; A YIELD OF FROM 20 TO 60 TONS PER ACRE and the FEED- 
ING VALUE, POUND FOR POUND, ALMOST EQUAL TO GRAIN; conservatively figured 
just the average yield therefore, would be the equivalent of a 1,000-bushel yield of oats, as 
far as feed value is concrned At the present market price of $10.00 per ton on Stock Beets, the 
money-value per acre would be from $200.00 to $600.00. Considering the small comparative cost 
of production we must say such a crop is worth while. 


The statement above that the feeding value of Stock Beets 
almost equals that of an equal weight of grain, on the face of it, 
looks a “bit too thin,” but experiments in feeding cattle, hogs 
and poultry have proved conclusively that when Mangels and 
HalfSugar Beets are fed in conjunction with grain that the aid 
to assimilation and digestion is such that the real benefit derived 
from a half grain and half root ration more than equals a full 
grain ration. In this connection, of course, they really could 
truly be so rated. 


Now that the price of grain is so high there is no surer way 
in the world for the Stock and Dairy Farmer to cut down his 
feed bill and increase the annual profits than to plant a liberal 
acreage to Stock Beets.. In European countires it is a rare thing 
to find a farm where a substantial portion is not devoted to the 
culture of Stock Beets. The Stock Beet has made it possible for 
Holland and Denmark to become famous for dairy products. 
Our own northern and eastern states are fast awakening to the 
possibilities and are increasing the acreage by leaps and bounds. 
It s time for us in the West to wake up! Get busy! and “cop 
the dollars.” 


If you are unable to begin with a five or ten acre planting 
put in all you do have available. You will wish you had planted 
a larger field, next winter when you check up the results of your 
experiment. 


Seeding and Cultivation—Where Stock Beets are extensively grown, the 
seed should be sown with a machine. Small fields may be sown with a hand 
drill, which will do good work and is very satisfactory. Do not crowd the 
rows because much of the root grows above the surface and plenty of space 
should be allowed for a horse and cultivator. Two to three feet apart is 
about right. 


Freezing injures beet plants. Therefore, seed should not be sown until 
the ground is warm and the weather fully settled, say about the latter part 
of April. 


The quantity of seed required per acre will vary somewhat with the 
variety ; about 8 to 10 lbs. is the usual amount sown. It pays to be generous 
with the seed and insure a good stand of plants. Shallow planting is desir- 
able because the seed germinates more quickly and a larger proportion will 
make vigorous plants than when planted deeply. One-half to one-inch of 
well packed earth is sufficient covering for Beet Seed, when there is a good 
supply of moisture in the sub-soil. Deeper planting will be required on sand 
lands or when the soil is dry. Thin plants to nine inches apart in the row. 


Too much importance cannot be attached to the Character of the Seed. 
Our tests at Centerville show a marked difference in strains of apparently 
the same variety. We have, therefore, confined our purchases to the heaviest- 
yielding types, producing the largest amount of food value per acre. Our ex- 
periments prove that P.-W.’s Giant Sludstrup, Giant Half-Sugar, and Mam- 
moth Long Red Mangel are the most desirable types for our conditions. If we 
were selecting but one single variety we would choose P.-W.’s Giant Sludstrup 
Giant Half-Sugar Mangel as the leader.

A Field of P.-W.’s Giant Sludstrup Half Sugar Mangel. Without Doubt the Best Stock Beet in the World. 


P.-W.’s GIANT SLUDSTRUP 


Wonderful Yielder, Easy Harvested and Richest in Food Value 
Imported by us six years ago from Denmark. After thorough comparative tests we do not hesitate to place this 
wonderful variety at the head of the list. It grows cylindrical in shape and largely out of the ground; easily harvested, 
and shape prevents it being broken in handling. Crops as high as fifty tons to the acre are not unusual. Color of skin 
reddish-yellow above the ground and light rose tint underneath. Flesh firm, crisp and very rich in sugar. Extremely 
desirable for stock feeding. No other crop can match it.

IMPROVED MAMMOTH LONG RED MANGEL 


This is truly a mammoth, a single root often weighing twenty pounds. The extra large, long roots are blood-red in 
color and very nutritious. Enormously productive, yielding under favorable conditions as much as 70 tons per acre. The 
flesh is not so rich in sugar as P.-W.’s Giant Sludstrup, yet the prodigous yield almost compensates for this deficiency. 
Our stock of Improved Mammoth Long Red Mangel is a selection and the roots are very large, uniformly straight and 
well formed; color, deep red; roots straight; tops small.

GIANT HALF-SUGAR WHITE MANGEL 


This magnificent Half-Sugar Beet, wihle giving nearly as large a yield of easily grown and harvested roots as a 
crop of Mammoth Long Red Mangels, supplies a food of very much higher nutritive value, the roots for feeding purposes 
being really more valuable, pound for pound, than those of the very best strains of Sugar Beet, and the yield under equal- 
ly favorable conditions is more than double. The roots grow partly out of the ground and because of this and their 
shape the crop can be harvested and stored at less expense. We are certain that every one who plants this variety and 
grows it with care will be much pleased.

CABBAGE 


1 oz. 1,500 Plants; % Ib. to Transplant an Acre. 


There is perhaps no division of the vegetable family where good seed is so important to success as in the case of 
Cabbage and Cauliflower. This fact, coupled with the special interest in this of our Mr. Walton, who has charge of 
this department, possibly accounts for the extra precaution exercised in the exhaustive tests and careful selection of 
our stocks. As previously stated, Mr. Walton was a market gardener for a number of years before engaging in the 
seed business and no one can appreciate the value of the right quality seed than a successful market gardener. The 
difference in cost between dependable strains from specialists and cheap stuff from doubtful sources, is so slight that 
no wise planter would consider it for a moment. 


As with all other seeds our selection of Cabbage stocks are positively from the best sources of supply, and the best 
strains obtainable, as proved by our own tests. 

Culture—Cabbage does best in rich, moist, well prepared soil; extra care should be taken in working it deeply as 
most varieties of Cabbage do not thrive in shallow soils. For the early varieties (in the Mountain States and similar 
climatic conditions) sow in hotbeds in the late winter or very early in spring and transplant to the open ground as soon 
as ground ean be worked. Don’t neglect to ‘harden the plants off’’ before transplanting and see to it that they are 
not so thick in the beds as to make them spindly. In transplanting to the open ground set in rows 18 to 24 inches apart 
and 12 to 18 inches between plants in the row. For field cultivation 3 feet between rows would be better. The Fall and 
Winter Varieties can be handled in the same way or if the seed bed is in good condition an easier and equally success- 
ful method is to sow the seed in hills or with a regular garden drill in the open ground, using about one pound of 
sseed per acre; when plants are well out of the ground thin out to proper distances in the row. 


About Pests—If bothered with cabbage worms use Corona Dry Aresenate of Lead and for the cabbage louse or 
Aphis, Black Leaf 40 is effective. (See Insecticides, Pages 93-95.

EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES 
COPENHAGEN MARKET 


We offered this splendid variety for the first time in 
1913 and it certainly has more than fulfilled our ex- 
pectations, we said then as soon as it became genarally 
known, it would supplant the smaller Extra Early Va- 
rieties. Repeated comparative tests show it to be as 
sure a header and within one or two days aa early as 
the famous old Early Jersey Wakefield. For all prac- 
tical purposes, therefore, it is just as early. Market 
gardeners here are delighted with it. The plants are 
short-stemmed, producing heads almost on the ground, 
uniformly large, round, solid and of excellent quality. 
‘The light green leaves are medium in size, saucer shaped 
and are always tightly folded; the plants may, there- 
fore be set closer than most other early varieties. It is 
a vigorous grower and yielder, as are all Cabbages from 
Denmark, and an excellent keeper. Our stock of Copen- 
hagen Market comes to us direct from the originator.

CABBAGE—FALL AND WINTER VARIETIES 


DANISH BALL HEAD (or Hollander) 
P.-W.’s Short Stemmed Strain 


This selected stock is the most popular of all late va- 
rieties for winter use. Genuine seed grown on Amager 
Island, Denmark. Because of its “great solidity’’ of head, 
and its unequalled keeping and shipping qualities, Danish 
Ball Head has supplanted nearly all other varieties for 
winter use. Many trials have demonstrated the superiority 
of the Danish seed of this variety over that grown in other 
countries and localities. It is sure to head, being round, 
hard and extremely heavy, though not extra large. It can 
be grown in close quarters on account 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, without doubt the leading Fall and Winter Cabbage.

DANISH ROUND HEAD 


Sweet flavor and crisp, tender texture. The great weight 
of the heads is commented upon by every one who has seen 
them. Hard as a bullet and heavy as lead,” is the usual 
comment, which very aptly describes this variety. Danish 
Round Head has a little less foliage than the Danish Ball 
Head, which is perhaps and advantage in resisting blight

quality, texture and habits of growth with the Short Stem- 
med, except the height of the stems, which are from 10 
to 12 inches, while the Short Stemmed strain is only 3 to 
5 inches. This feature makes this type a little more de- 
sirable for very moist climates and heavy muck lands as 
the under leaves do not touch the ground and are there- 
fore not so apt to blight or rust. It is from 10 days to 2

P.-W.’s DANISH GIANT 
Dry Weather Cauliflower 


The merits of this variety are recognized by increasing 
sale every year. Heads are pure white and of fine quality. 
In growth, size and other characteristics very similar to 
the Early Snowball. Its main feature is the fact that it 
will stand an unusual amount of dry or warm weather and 
still produce large, solid heads. In some climates, where 
heretofore it has been impossible to grow good cauliflower, 
this fine variety has proven a success. It is ready for

CELERY 


One ounce will produce from 5.000 to 10,000 plants. 

_ For early 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 1n 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 out 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. 


P.-W.’s GOLDEN CRISP CELERY 


The Far-Famed Utah Celery So Much in Demand Everywhere 

This strain was originally developed by the Chinese gardeners. 
Its superior qualities gave them exclusive control of the celery 
market while their supply lasted. We have finally succeeded in 
getting a reliable source of supply for the seed of this much 
sought after variety. It is much stouter, thicker and heavier, 
with double the amount of heart of any known celery. The plant 
is beautiful in appearance, of close habit, and compact growth, 
and blanches to a beautiful creamy white. Ribs perfectly solid, 
crisp and of a delicious nutty flavor. Once sown, always grown.

off side shoots. Use plenty of old, fine manure. For succession plant every two or three weeks until last of July. 


EARLY VARIETIES 
P. W.’s GOLDEN ROD

bear almost invariably on each stalk two fine ears 8 to 10 
inches in length, filled to the very tips with 12 rows of deep 
succulent kernels of a rich, transparent cream-yellow, tender, 
deliciously melting and ‘‘sweet as honey.’’ This luscious “milk”

Comparative tests with all other strains of White Spine 
prove that this new type has all the “earmarks” of be- 
coming the most popular market variety yet developed. 
The present specimen was discovered originally in a field of

ages. It is a quick grower, very productive and disease- 
resistant; fruits nine inches long, slightly tapering; flesh 
white, very firm and crisp, with very few seeds; color 


rich, dark green, which does not fade when shipped a long

LETTUCE 


1 oz. 3,000 Plants; 4 to 5 Ibs. 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 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 unti] four inches apart. Varieties that do not head may be left quite thick, 
and when fairly well grown, those thinned out may be used.

MUSKMELONS 


One oz. 50 Hills; 2 to 3 Ibs. 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 as are cucumbers and squash vines. Early and repeated spraying with Arsenate of Lead Mixture is al-

Harvesting Onion Sets at Our Centerville Seed Farm 


' ONION SETS 


A great speciality with us We produce several carloads at our own farm in Centerville. The remarkable firmness and 
soundness and regularity in size of our Mountain Grown Sets has been a matter of comment wherever they have been 
compared with those from other sections. 

Having been grown in this high altitude, they will produce a crop earlier than sets from East or South and in half 
the time that it could be produced from seed. .Where an early market 1s sought or where the seasons are short this is 
a distinct advantage. _ 

Great care is exercised in cleaning and grading, so that nothing is sent out but sound, healthy, vigorous sets that 
produce results worth while. 

i Culture—Soil requirements are the same as with onion seed. Plant the sets 3 to 4 inches apart in the row, depend- 
ing on the variety and 12 inches apart between the rows and 2 to 3 inches deep. It requires from 250 to 350 lbs. for

RED PEPPER 


This is a very large, deep red variety. Almost twice

Though it may not be so immensely productive 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.

sized pods, averaging from nine to ten peas to the pod. 

The peas are of exquisite flavor and mature early All 
the planters who have tried Dwarf Gradus consider is 
superior to either the old Gradus or Thomas Laxton, and 
consider it to be the best of all the early dwarf sorts.

safely be planted as early as the hard-seeded “Extra

POTATOES 


700 to 1200 lbs. per Acre 


For early potatoes, which mature in eight to ten weeks from planting, the soil must be particularly rich. 


A rich 


elover sod, manured and broken the year before and planted to corn, beans, peas, oats, ete., 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 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. 


EARLY VARIETIES 


BLISS TRIUMPH—Very popular early market variety, 
especially in the East It matures about one week to ten 
‘days before Early Ohio. As the skin is red it does not 
sshow bruises readily and can, therefore, be shipped before 
it is ripe. This is a big item to the market grower. Our 
tests show the yield about with the Ohio. 


EARLY OHIO—An old-time favorite; matures early, 
‘and the potatoes are fit for use before fully ripe. Mosv 
growers here consider it the most profitable early market 
variety Red River stock. 


EUREKA—A remarkable drouth and blight resister. 
The tubers are round, slightly flattened, white and mealy; 
no core or black specks. Quality unsurpassed. 


EARLY ROSE—True stock and just as good as when it 
was first introduced; still a standard. 


IRISH  COBBLER—An extra early variety, 
about with the Bliss Triumph and Ohio. 
white; good size, with clean, smooth skin.

TREATMENT OF POTATOES FOR ROSETTE 
Two ounces of Corrosive Sublimate or Mercurie Chloride. 
Dissolve in one gallon of hot water. After same is thor- 
oughly 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 re- 
main 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. 


MAIN CROP VARIETIES 


PEERLESS—tThe old standard for main crop; too well 
known to need deserintion. Or stock is unexcelled.

RADISH 


1 Oz. 50 ft. 10 to 12 lbs. per Acre 
rich and mellow to insure quick growing, supply- 


For the best results the soil should be light, well pulverized, 
ing plently of water. 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 succession 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. 

There is no crop that will bring quicker returns for the market gardener. Select your warmest, 
and plant so as to get into market when prices are at the top. The leading variety for this purpose is 
Sparkler; or if you wish an all scarlet, use “P.-W.’s Earliest.’ For family use our recommendations are: 
Sparkler for early or succession; Icicle for second early; and Celestial for winter use.

“JOHN BAER” TOMATO 


New introduction. ‘John Baer’? Tomatoes produce 
perfect, solid, high crown, beautiful, brilliant red ship- 
ping tomatoes, in 30 days from potted plants if the roots 
are undisturbed when set out. Our Trial Ground tests 
show that it is not only remarkably early, but it is also 
an enormous crop, producing 50 to 100 perfect large 
sized tomatoes to a plant. The fruit contains very few 
seeds; is extremely solid and meaty and of deliciously 
mild, sweet flavor. Entirely free from blight, no cracks, 
no wrinkles, no one-sided or scarred fruit and even when 
dead ripe “John Baer’ will not burst; for a market

GRASS SEEDS 


Consistent with our policy to sell only the best we furnish only such grades that have been critically grown from 
highest germination and purity; this fact should be in mind when comparing prices with other sources of supply. 


PRICES FLUCTUATE. WRITE FOR PRICES ON 


Bermuda Grass (Cynoden Dactylon)—Is a dwarf per- 
ennial plant and spreads by means of its long and many- 
jointed root stalks, and for this reason is hard to eradicate 
once it has secured a foothold; thrives during the hottest 
part of the year, and it will live under water for a long 
time. Makes durable lawn and is also used to hold em- 
bankments. The seed is very slow to germinate and requires 
heat and moisture. Sow 10 lbs. per acre. Should not be 
sown in climate where ground freezes as it will winter kill. 
Lb. 75c, nostnaid. Not vrenaid, 10 Ibs. $5.50. 


BROMUS INERMIS (Hungarian Brome Grass)—It is a 
vigorous, hardy perennial, with strong creeping root; stock 
smooth, upright, leafy stems, one to four feet high, and 
loose, open seed heads four to eight inches long. In a few 
years it forms a very tough sod, which possesses remarkable 
drouth-resisting qualities. It is very hardy and not injured 
by severe spring and fall frost, when once established. 
Sow the seed broadcast, early in the spring, at a rate of 
twenty to thirty pounds per acre. Cover with harrow. 
Where ground is inaccessible for early spring, it is advisable 
to sow in the fall. Lb. 55c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs. 

$4.50. 


Canadian Blue Grass (Poa Compressa)—Also called Flat 
Stock Poa. A flat stock meadow grass, distinct in color, 
grows one and one-half feet high, is a very valuable pasture 
grass. It thrives well on hard clay and poor soils. Very 
highly recommended for horses, cows and sheep. Sow 30 
pounds per acre. Lb. 35c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 Ibs.

Red Top (Agrostis Vulgaris)—It is a most valuable ad- 
| dition to sow with timothy and clover, and forms a close 
sward for pasturage. Reaches highest perfection in moist, 
rich soils. The whole seed, sow 25 pounds per acre. Lb.

ORCHARD GRASS (Dactylis Glomerata)—-No farmer 
should be without a small field of Orchard Grass, as in 
many respects it is superior to many other grasses. It 
stands the drouth, grows well in the shade, in wet or poor 
ground, and it splendid to prevent worn-out fields wash- 
ing. This grass furnishes excellent pasturage for three 
weeks before any other, and after close grazing, a ten days’ 
interval is sufficient for another growth. It makes a very 
heavy sod, and when well set remains for many years. 
When sown alone, sow from 20 to 25 pounds per acre. 
Lb. 50c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs. $3.50. 


Kentucky Blue Grass—This makes the best, sweetest and’ 
most nutritious pasture for all kinds of stock. This grass 
is the first up in the spring and remains green until snow 
flies in the fall. The roots are so thick and stout that they 
form a tough sod. It will do well on almost any land. Sow 
in the fall or spring at the rate of 30 pounds per acre. 
Lb. 50c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs. $3.75. 


Meadow Fesque, Randall or English Blue Grass—Excellent 
for hay and pasturage, particularly valuable for fall and 
winter pasturage. Grows 2 to 3 feet high, but not in tufts 
like orchard grass. Very nutritious and cattle thrive on it 
whether dry or green. Succeeds even in poor soil, and as 
the roots penetrate deep, from 12 to 15 inches, it takes ex- 
tremely dry weather to affect it. Sow either in the spring 
or fall at the rate of 30 pounds to the acre, if sown by 
itself. Lb. 55c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 Ibs. $4.50. 


TIMOTHY—Of hay grasses Timothy is one of the most 
popular, nutritious and salable. On clay or heavy loams, 
lowlands or in mountainous districts, provided there is au 
abundance of moisture, it produces the very best results. 
From 11% to 8 tons of fine hay to the acre. Timothy alone, 
12 pounds to the acre, or with clover, 10 pounds timothy 
and 6 pounds clover. Lb. 35c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10

P.-W.’s Grass and Clover Mixtures Make Best Dairy Pastures 


TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS (Avena Elatoir)—Yield- 
ing twice as much hay as Timothy or Orchard Grass, early 
as Orchard Grass, with more leaf and affording better 
grazing, it is not strange that this grass is becoming so 
popular. 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 Ight and dry loamy uplands, 
but gives excellent results on nearly all soils and better 
results than any other grass on light, medium soils. Sown 
alone, use 30 lbs. to the acre, either spring or fall. Lb. 
55c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 Ibs. $4.25; 100 Ibs. at 
market price. 


English of Perennial Rye Grass—This is becoming well 
known in this country as a valuable pasture grass which 
will bear frequent close cropping. Produces an abundance 
of foliage, which remains bright and green during the 
season. When sown by itself, sow 30 lbs. per acre either 
in the spring or fall. Lb. 35c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 
Ibs. $2.25; 100 Ibs. at market price. 


Italian Rye Grass—This is, like the Perennial Rye Grass, 
valuable for pasture and also for hay. It thrives on rich, 
moist land, where from three to four cuttings may be 
made in a season. It grows very quickly and will stand 


close pasturage. It will stand more overflow than other 


grass. About 24 lbs. of seed required to the acre. Lb. 35c, 
postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 Ibs. $2.25; 100 Ibs. at market 
price. 


WESTERN RYE GRASS (Canadian Bunch Grass)—This 
is sometimes called Slender Wheat Grass. It is the highly 
prized range bunch grass of the Canadian Northwest. This 
will be a most valuable addition to all the stock ranges 
throughout the entire West. It has been proved of value 
on soils impregnated with alkali, yielding good returns. 
Sow seed at the rate of 15 lbs. per acre if sown alone and 
at a depth of from 1 to 3 inches, depending upon soil and 
season. Lb., 50c, postpaid. Not prepaid 10 lbs $3.75; 100 
Ibs. at market price.

ALFALFA SEED 


This has been especially selected from highland sections 
of the Mountain States and grown without irrigation, de- 
veloping a most sturdy type much to be preferred than 
seed produced under other conditions. 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.

GRIMM ALFALFA SEED 


This variety is especially recommended for shallow soils 
or those underlaid with hardpan. The claim made for it is 
that in addition to extreme hardiness it has spreading roots 
instead of a single tap-root and that it makes underground 
creeping stems. These branching roots enable it to thrive 
on hardpan where the single tap-root of other varieties 
would fail to penetrate and enable it to spread and thicken 
up and increase to withstand close pasturing which would 
be very hard on other varieties. While we have this variety 
under comnetitive test we are not far enough along with 
it for verification of the superiority in the respects claimed. 
For customers who wish to try it out we can furnish the 
genuine Grimm; undoubtedly it is a very desirable strain.

SWEET CLOVER 


As a money maker-maker this has been rightfully named 
“Alfalfa s Twin Sisier."” Years ago here in the West this 
plant grew wild along the ditch banks and by-ways and 
was considered a pest. Simply because we were ignorant 
of its real worth. Today the country over it is much sought 
after and is giving alfalfa a hard run for first place in 
value among the entire list of farm crops. 

Its value in the redemption of alkaline lands cannot be 
over-estimated. If you have land of this class get busy at 
once. Sweet Clover will be its salvation. It will not only 
reclaim your alkaline and worn-out soils, but at the same 
time will yield crops of pasturage, hay and seed ranging 
in value from $75.00 tot $150.00 per acre. 

It grows in a variety of soils—heavy, light wet or dry, 
almost anywhere exceot in acid soil. 

Growers report extra large yields of corn and other crops 
following Sweet Clover. 

Hay and Pasture—From many states come glowing re- 
ports of the value of Sweet Clover for hay and pasture. 
After acquiring the taste, stock often prefer it to other 
pasture. 

It is usually possible to get one cutting of Sweet Clover — 
the first year and two good hay crops the second; or hay 
and pasture, or one hay crop and one seed crop. It is a 
splendid feed, about equal to alfalfa. 

Sow the seed at the rate of 10 to 15 pounds per acre, 
with a nurse crop of grain, or alone, in well prepared 
fields in April or May. Cover the seed very lightly. It 
may follow a cultivated crop by preparing the seedbed with 
surface-working implements. If the soil is plowed, this 
should be done several weeks before seeding. Sweet Clover 
requires a very firm, compact soil. 

Sweet Clover is a legume having the same bacteria on its 
roots that grow on alfalfa. Consequently it supplies nitro- 
gen to the soil and prepares the way for alfalfa. We rec- 
comend innoculation of the seed. See Farmogerm, Page 35. 


WHITE BLOSSOM OR BOKHARA 


This lives two years and then dies. It is the variety com- 
monly referred to when ‘‘Sweet Clover’’ is mentioned and 
is the best for general use. 

It is an erect branching biennial plant with woody stems, 
the first season growing 115 to 3 feet high and developing 
a large root, in which is stored food material for the second 
season’s growth. The growth the second season usually 
reaches a height of 4 to 7 feet. It bears flowers and seed 
the second season and then the plant dies, so it is readily 
controlled by cutting before it goes to seed, which will pre- 
vent any seed being self-sown. Lb. 55c, postpaid. Not

YELLOW BLOSSOM (Melitotus Officinalis)—This variety be- 
longs to the same family as White Blossom Sweet Clover but it is 
not so prolific in growth, will not produce so large a tonnage, 
does not grow quite so tall, but is from ten days to three weeks 
earlier. 

The flowers are yellow instead of white. For bee pasture and 
fertilizing purposes, we believe it to be equally valuable, but for 
hay or pasture it is not so desirable. Lb. 55c, postpaid. Not pre- 
paid, 10 Ibs. $4.00. 


ALSIKE CLOVER (Swedish Hybrid)—Is recommended both 
for sowing with Timothy and also with the Red and Mammoth 
Clovers, as well as for a hay crop by itself. It does not winter- 
kill. The use of Swedish Alsike Clover is increasing rapidly; 
cattle prefer it to other clovers. It lasts longer, is hardier, stand- 
ing adverse conditions, both of summer and winter weather, better 
than the ordinary clovers, and is also better adapted for grazing 
purposes. 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 pro- 
duced is excellent. It is very fine for honey bees. Sow at the 
rate of six or eight pounds per acre; sown in mixtures, five or six 
pounds per acre is sufficient. Lb. 75c, postpaid. Not prepaid,

MEDIUM RED CLOVER (Trifolium Pratense)—It is sometimes 
called June Clover, and is a dependable, all-round variety for 
farmers and stockmen. It makes two crops each year. The first 
js usually cut when 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 
grasses are used, at the rate of from eight to fifteen pounds to 
the acre, according to quality of seed used and condition of the 
soil. Lb. 80c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 Ibs. $6.50.

BARLEY 


Sow 60 to 90 pounds per acre; on dry land 40 to 50 
pounds. 

CLUB or BREWER’S BARLEY—tThis is the staple va- 
riety for brewers. It is also good for feeding. 10 Ibs. 60c; 
100 lbs. at market price. 

NAKED, BEARDLESS or WHITE HULLESS—This is 
decidedly distinct from the malting variety, having no 
beard and shelling off its hull same as wheat. Is the best 
barley for feeding and is rapidly taking the place of spring 
rye. 10 Ibs. 60c; 100 Ibs. at market price. 

BLUE or FEED BARLEY—This is a very hardy kind, 
producing very large, coarse, bearded heads and abundance 
of fodder. It is not used for brewing but makes the best 
green food. 10 Ibs. 50c; 100 lbs. at market price. 


EMMER OR SPELTZ 


EMMER or SPELTZ—Is a valuab'e 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 drought better than any other grain, mak- 
ing 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 lbs. at market price. 


FETERITA 


FETERITA—Is from 20 to 30 days earlier than Kaffir- 
Corn, makes good fodder; in some instances made an ex- 
cellent yield of grain without having received any rain 
from the day it was planted until it was harvested. No 
variety of seed of any kind has ever sprung more suddenly 
into such popular favor. Feterita has taken the country by 
storm. Lb. 15c; 100 Ibs. at market price. 


KAFFIR CORN 


KAFFIR CORN—Is unsurpassed for dry alkali land, on 
which no better fodder and grain crop grows. Its great 
root system enables it to produce wonderfully in drought 
sections and breaks up new ground for other crops. Cattle 
relish the stalks, while the grain is a very valuable food 


for poultry. Lb. 15c; 100 Ibs. at market price.

Prices quoted, not prepaid. Sow 60 to 80 lbs. per acre on Irrigated and 40 to 45 lbs. on Dry Farms. 


EARLY BART 


This is a new variety of great promise for the Moun- 
tain States. It has been grown quite extensively in the 
Northwest. Supt. D. E. Stephens of the Oregon Agri- 
eultural Experiment Station has this to say about it: 

“The Early Bart spring wheat has been one of our 
best spring wheats. Upon our recommendation, farmers 
here have been growing it for the past two years and are 
very well satisfied with it. In fact, the Early Bart has 
practically replaced the Pacific Bluestem wheat, which 
prior to two years ago was about the only variety of 
spring wheat grown here commercially. For a_ six-year 
period the Early Bart variety has exceeded the yield of 
the Pacific Bluestem on the station here by a little more 
than three bushels per acre.” 


Last year on our own Trial Grounds it proved the 
heaviest yielding variety. Another test conducted by A. E. 
Jensen on his farm near Moroni, Utah, under absolutely 
dry conditions Early Bart yielded thirty bushels per acre. 
while the two other varieties in the same plat, planted the 
same day, came through with less than twenty bushels per 
acre. With such a showing under the trying conditions 
of last year we have no hesitancy in recommending it as

farm, but on irrigated farms as well. It is a large, white- 
berried, bearded variety of finest milling quality. 10 Ibs. 
$1.00; 100 lbs. at market price. 


MARQUIS WHEAT 


A variety produced by scientific cross-breeding of the 
old Calcutta 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 Northwest 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 the 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 bushels per acre. Price 10 Ibs. 60c; 100 
Ibs. $5.00.

SUDAN GRASS 


Sudan is a tall, annual grass, reachng 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 shatter- 


ing. Stock of all kinds eat it readily and will leave any 
other hay for it. No baneful effects follow feeding it to 
stock. The food value is second only to alfalfa. 


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

For a combined hay and seed crop plant in rows, thirty- 
six inches apart using about two pounds of seed; where 
irrigated, plant in rows eighteen inches apart, usng from 
4 to 6 pounds per acre. . 

Broadcast seeding for a hay crop requires from 12 to 20 
pounds per acre. 

The yield of seed varies from 500 to 1,000 per acre. 
When cut for hay it yields an immense tonnage of ex- 
cellent feeding quality. Price, 1 lb. 40c postpaid; 10 Ibs. 


$3.00, not prepaid. 
SALT BUSH 


Australian (Atriplex semi-baccatum). Will grow on 
alkaline soil. Much relished by stock, supplying the neces- 
sary salt. One pound of seed to the acre if sown broad- 


east; four ounces if transplanted. In cutting fodder be 
careful not to injure crown of the plants. Lb. 75c, postpaid. 


SORGUM 


Early Amber—Furnishes a large yield of most nutritive 
forage, which can be fed either green or cured, and will 
yield two or three cuttings a year, stooling out thicker each 
time it is cut. It grows ten to twelve feet high. Sow 
broadcast for forage at the rate of 60 pounds per acre. 
When sown in drills, sow at the rate to 10 pounds per acre 
in drills three and a half to four feet apart. Lb. 25c¢ post- 
paid; Not prepaid, 10 Ibs. $1.25; 100 lbs. at market price. 


CHINESE DRIP SORGUM—A splendid new variety, 
very prolific and vigorous, especially desirable for making 
molasses. Being a heavy cropper it is equally well adapted 
for fodder and ensilage. Don’t fail giving it a trial. Lb. 
30c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 Ibs. $1.75; 100 Ibs. at 
market price. 


SOJA BEANS 


This produces enormous crops. It grows about four feet 
high and yields ten to twenty tons of green fodder per acre, 
or 20 to 40 bushels of beans. 


It is especially valuable for ensilage in combination with | 


fodder corn or aJpanese Millet (two parts of millet to one 
part of Soja Beans), thus furnishing a complete balanced 
ration. 


Soja Beans are great soil enrichers, adding humus and 
extracting nitrogen from the air.

: 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. 

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. 

Quantity to Sow—When early sowing is made, 30 to 40 Ibs. of seed per acre makes a crop that covers the ground 
and produces good tonnage. If late sowing is made, 60 to 80 lbs. per acre is advisable, as the crop does not get to ma- 
tured 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 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. 

We recommend treating the seed with aFrmogerm before planting. See Page 35.

P.-W.’s SILO CORN 


Five years ago silos were almost a novelty here in the Mountain States, but there has been such a marvelous 
awakening, especially among the dairy farmers, that is will soon be a rare thing to find an up-to-date dairyman in 
this section without one. The wonderful advantages of ensilage will not be confined alone to the dairyman, but as 
cattle and sheep raising becomes more generally confined to the farm, ensilage will be the one great solution of the 
feeding problem. 

In general, the advantages of a silo are so many that it is a necessity on every farm where any livestock is kept. 
The best recommendation for the silo is the one all users give it, they don’t see how they ever got along without it. 

Of all the crops useful for ensilage, Corn is th most largely used and without doubt the most profitable. Alive 
to this situation we have made Ensilage Corn a specialty and we are now able to offer our customers the most 
profitable varieties adapted to the climatic conditions of various sections of the West. Write and tell us where you 
are going to plant and for what purpose and we can give you valuable advice as to the variety which will be the 
most profitable. 

PLANTING AND HARVESTING FOR 
ENSILAGE 


Planting—Generally speaking, the seed should be sown 
in drills 3 feet apart, using 15 to 40 pounds of seed per 
acre, depending not only on the soil, but also for the pur- 
pose for which the silage is to be used. Whenever less 
grain and more bulk is desired more seed may be planted 
to the acre, giving a greater amount of leaf and stalk 
but less ear carn. For fattening beef cattle the opposite 
is true; the more ears produced the greater the fattening 
properties and for that reason less seed should be sown 
per acre, giving it a better opportunity to mature. In 
either case the tonnage per acre will be about the same. 

Cutting the Corn—The proper time to cut corn for silo 
filling is when the kernels are well dented and almost 
mature. The lower leaves are turning brown at this time 
but the stalks are still green and contain a large amount 
of succulence: 

If cut immature and green, the silage wil] be sour and 
too laxative, neither does it have the feeding value of 
matured corn. F 
Caution—The blow pipe must be as nearly perpendicu- 
lar as possible, so that the air will sift the material. If 
the pipe has has much slant, the material will settle on 
the lower side and clog, the air passing over it instead of 

pushing it up. 

Adding Water—If corn for any reason becomes over 
ripe and dry, excellent silage can still be made from it 
by adding water while it is being cut into the silo, a 
half a barrel to each load of corn. 

Good silage can be made from frosted corn in the same 
way. In order to get a perfect distribution of water in 
the silage, it should be run through the blower with the 
silage. This can be done by running a steady stream into 
the blower by means of a small hose. 


Packing the Silage—Thoroughly packing by tramping 2 2 Le

SILO CORN NO. 1 


“Once Sown, Always Grown” 


This variety is the heaviest yielding corn for ensilage 
ever introduced in the Mountain States. It is positively 
the earliest of the tall-growing large yellow Dent corns in 
cultivation. It is our own selection from Improved Leam- 
ing and will mature its grain in 100 days, even under un- 
favorable conditions; and about 90 days where climatic 
conditions are suitable. So that planters in any section 
with a growing season of about 80 days between Spring 
and Fall frosts will be perfectly safe for ensilage with 
P.-W.’s Mountain States Silo Corn No. 1 under normal 
conditions and good soil it grows from 12 to 20 feet in 
height, producing an immense tonnage of fodder per acre. 
All things considered we are justified in saying it stands 
far above all other varieties for ensilage purposes in the 
West. You will never regret giving it a trial this year. 


Cultural Directions—Page 39. For price see below.

P.-W.’s Mountain States Silo Corn No. Z 


P.-W.’s MOUNTAIN STATES 
SILO CORN NO. 2 


This is a shorter growing variety than P.-W.’s Moun- 
tani States Silo Corn No. 1, the height ranging from 8 to 
12 feet, depending upon soil and other conditions. Conse- 
quently the fodder tonnage is less, but it makes up this 
loss to a large degree in the increase of grain yield. This 
increased grain feature appeals strongly to those who are 
using ensilage for fattening cattle and sheep. Many 
dairymen also, who wish a stronger grain ration use it in 
preference to our No. 1. We recommend it eapecially for 
districts where the growing season is short, as it will 
mature on an average of about 10 days earlier. Thus the 
highland valleys through the entire West can safely produce 
ensilage from P.-W.’s Mountain States Silo Corn No. 
where the period between frosts is not less than 70 days. 

Cultural Directions—Page 39. For price see below. 

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 for summer fodder; it will keep up the flow of 
milk during the hot weather when the: grass is burnt up. 
For fodder sow in drills 3 feet apart, 60 pounds per acre, 
or if broadcast 120 pounds per acre. See below for price.

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 a stalk. 
Price, see below. 


P.-W.’s IMPROVED LEAMING—This is one of the 
earliest large yellow Dent corns in cultivation, ripening in 
90 to 100 days from planting. It is extra early, and not 
a hard flinty corn. The ears are large and handsome, 
with deep, large grains; orange color on red cob. It 
grows from 12 to 20 feet in height in good soils and yields 
immensely in fodder per acre. For an ensilage or fodder 
corn it has no equal to date that is so well adapted to the 
Rocky Mountain States. Price see below. 


Minnesota No. 13—The ears are of handsome appearance 
bearing 16 to 20 rows of bright, rich yellow, smooth, 
wedge-shaped kernels packed closely on the cob from butt 
to tip. The ears average eight inches in length and are 
borne uually two on a stalk. The cobs are well filled and 
the individual kernels, plump and of good color; thoroughly 
matures in ninety days in a good location. 


PRIDE OF THE NORTH—An exceptionally early Dent 
variety. Stalks of medium height with broad leaves. The 
ears, which average 8 to 10 inches in length, have from 
12 to 16 rows. Grains long and deep yellow. For cold 
valleys where seasons are short it cannot be beat.

Thousands have admired the beautiful velvety appearance and marveled at the quick, thrifty growth.. 


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 twice as much seed to make a lawn as it does for raising hay and it frequently 
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 advan- 
tageous 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. The seed of- 
fered on this page has been most carefully selected and none better can be obtained anywhere. 


P.-W.’s VELVET GREEN LAWN MIXTURE 


The best lawn seed experience can suggest of 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 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 luxurious turf all over the lawn. With these facts in 
mind, our P.-W.’s Velvet Green Lawn 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 foul seed. Sow at rate of one pound to 200 square feet. Price: 60c

A FEW CULTURAL HINTS 


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. Qnly 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. 


To those who have never planted Flower Seeds before the suggestions here offered may be helpful. The directions 
given are based on the average climatic conditions that prévail in the Mountain States. Our customers living elsewhere 
can readily adapt them to their own localities. 


Seeds Planted Out-of-Doors—For most of the ordinary annual flowers, such as Sweet Alyssum, Calliopsis, Marigold, 
Mignonette, Nastirtiums, etc., the simplest method is to sow directly out-of-doors, when danger of frost is over, in the 
space they are intended 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 twleve inches 
apart, accordng to the variety. This plan is also adaptable to many varieties usually started indoors, such as Asters, 
Verbenas, Stocks, etc., but as a rule their germination is more certain under glass, as they begin to flower much easier 
when started indoors. The extra trouble is well repaid by their increased bloom period. 


Indoor Planting—For all flower seeds which should be started indoors, and this includes some of our best flowers, 
such as Heliotrope, Lobelia, Salvia, Verbena, etc., the best plan is to use seed pans or smal] 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, 
composed, 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 or 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. 


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 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, 
transplanting them to their permanent quarters the following spring. Our aim is to secure the very best strains ob- 
tainable, both for home and foreign growth, adaptable to our intermountain region. And we have spared neither paing 


nor expense with this object in view.

delightful flowers are borne in abundance from late Aug- 
ust until the end of September.

P.-W.’s Superb Pansies 


PANSIES?7 


Little praise is needed for this most popular of all 
flowers, as it is seen everywhere and under all conditions. 
It is, however, well to mention that, no matter how careful 
and attentive the grower may be, it is but wasted time if 
you have rot the proper seed to begin with All our Pansy 
Seed is obtained from the most noted specialists, and we 
claim that seed obtained from us will produce flowers cf 
unsurpassed size and form, beauty of markings, and bril- 
lianey of colors and shades. 


Pansy Seed germinates and the plants grow more freely 
in the cool, early days of spring, and for summer blooming 
should be sown by the latter part of April or early in May, 
and blooming plants will be produced by the last of June, 
which will give an abundance of flowers throughout the 
remainder of the season. About the middle of August is 
the best time for starting Pansy Seeds for early svring 
blooming, as this allows the plants to go into winter in 
vigorous condition.

ef color between light rose, pink and deep carmine. They 
are splendid cut flowers; equally valuable in borders. Pkt. 
lic; %& oz. 75c. 


SALPIGLOSSIS (Painted Tongue)* 


Two and one-half feet. The Salpiglosis is one of the 
greatest favorites among annuals, partly because of its easy 
culture, but principally for its beautiful, almost orchid-like 
flowers, which it produces from early summer until late 
fall. Seed should be sown early in spring in a hotbed or 
window and transplanted when weather is settled, or di- 
rectly out of doors after danger of frost.

SALVIA (Scarlet Sage)* 


Three feet. A standard bedding plant that keeps the 
garden bright with color until late in autumn. This plant 
lends itself to many uses; it makes a good pot plant, does 
well in window boxes, and is useful for cutting to give 
color. Its best use, however, is a hedge or border plant, 
where long, broad bands of intense color are desirable.

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


1 Pkt. 5 feet of Row 1 oz. 20 feet of Row 


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 immense 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 crit- 
ical 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. A good rich loam with plenty of well-rotted manure in it is the ideal soil for raising good plants that will produce 
plenty of blooms of good substance. Considerable benefit has been noted from the use of Farmogerm. See Page 35. Very 
early in the spring, preferably in March and April in the Mountain States and localities of similar climatic conditions is 
the best time to plant. One of the best methods is to make a trench or furrow about six inches deep, in the bottom of 
which sow the seed. Cover with about an inch of soil pressing it down firmly. As soon as they are above the ground 
thin out to for to six inches apart; when planted too close they do not attain their full development. They should be 
staked up either with branches of brush or stout stakes on which wire netting has been fastened. These should be at 
least four feet high and five feet would be better. It is justas well to do the staking at the time of sowing. 


For the aphis or plant louse, spraying with solutions of Black Leaf 40 or whale oil soap (See Insecticides) is 
usually effective; and for the red. spider, which also causes trouble at times, spraying with pure water is usually suffcient. 

During dry weather they should be watered thoroughly and frequently. The flowers should be cut as often as pos- 
sible, to prevent the plants from running to seed, which would stop them from continuing to bloom. 


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

Fall Planting—A better growth of vines and earlier blooming often result from planting seed in the fall instead of 
early spring If a well drained, sandy soil is selected this method may usually be depended upon to give satisfactory 
results. A number of planters have been very successful here in the Salt Lake Valley. 

Preparation of the soil is the same as that for spring planting. ‘The seeds should be sown about an inch or two 
apart in rows about three inches deep and firmly covered with soil which should be somewhat ridged above the rows 
to improve drainage.

It is quite an advantage to start the roots inside the latter part of March. Simply plant them in boxes of sand or 


light soil and place them in a light window. 


Transplant them to the open ground when all danger of frost has passed. 


PREPARING THE CANNA BED—Use a wheelborrow-load of very well rotted manure over each square yard of soil 


and dig in deeply. 


The soil should at least be stirred to a depth of eighteen inches for best results. Care should be taken 


in selecting suitable varieties, so the colors will harmonize and the taller growing sorts placed in the background or in 


the center of an open bed. 
Set the plants at least eighteen inches apart each way.

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 mix- 
ture and in named sorts. 

Culture—For best results a good rich sandy loam is desirable, though they are easily suited both as well 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 plantings 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 and dozens include postage For large auantites the average weight is about 
10 Ibs. per 100 bulbs. See Page 2 for parcel postage.

USEFUL PLANTING TAB 


The table below shows the number of plants requred to fill a circular bed of the dimensions given. In planting begin 
outside row—where 6 inches apart, 3 inches from edge of bed; where 12 inches apart, 6 inches from edge of bed. It is 
customary in planting a bed to set the plants somewhat closer together in the two outer rows, giving more space between 
each plant toward the center of the bed. ae 

A square bed will take about the same number of plants. For an oval bed, add length and breadth and divide by 
2. For example, an oval 8 feet long by 6 feet wide will require the same number of plants as a circular bed 7 feet 


in diameter.

SEED AND NURSERY SPECIALISTS FOR WESTERN U.S. A. 59 


All Nursery Stock shipped by us is accompanied by a certificate of health, issued and signed by an Inspector of the 


Horticultural! Commission, 
insect pests, etc. 


Orders for Winter and Spring shipments should be placed as early as possible. 


This insures shipments to consist of nothing but healthy stock, free and clear of all] scale, 


Three-fourths of the 


nursery business is done in the Spring months, and when our busy season starts, we are rushed with orders. All orders 


are filled in rotation as received. 


PLEASE NOTE CAREFULLY WHEN ORDERING 


First—Please use the order sheet and give explicit in- 
struction 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 is aids us 
materially if they are written on separate order sheets 
supplied for that purpose. 

Third—Please don’t mix orders with letters. They should 
be written on separate sheets to avoid confusion. 

Dormant Trees and Shrubs by Freight—Trees, both 
ornamental and orchard, shrubs and other dormant stock 
ean be forwarded safely by fast freight lines, even to very 
distant points, at low rates. 


Packing Free—We make absolutely no charge for boxes 
or packing, or delivery to any express or freight line in 
Salt Lake City. 

Safe Arrival Guaranteed—We guarantee the safe ar- 
rival of all plants to any part in the U. S. when sent by 
express. Should the express shipment reach you in bad 
order have notation made by the agent on your receipt for 
charges, so that recovery can be made for damages. 

Claims—Should any errors occur we desire to be in- 
formed upon receipt of goods, that we may rectify them 
without delay. All claims must be filed within ten days 
after the arrival of shipments. 


IMPORTANT RULES ABOUT NURSERY ORDERS 


No order can be accepted for less than $1.00, as packing expense is too great. 

CASH IN FULL must accompany the order if immediate shipment is desired. 

Orders to be delivered at later date will be booked only providing at least one-fourth of the 
purchase price accompanies them, and shipment cannot be made until payment is made in full. This 


rule applies to all except Public Instituriens 


We cannot ship Plants or Nursery stock C. O. D. to anyone. 

After stock has been received in good condition and accepted by the purchaser, we decline to 
assume any responsibility whatsoever for failures or any other matter, except where it should 
prove untrue to label, in which case we will replace free of charge or refund the purchase price, but 


further than this we assume no responsibility. 


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 of 
all broken and extra long roots. Peach, Plum, Apricot, 
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, carefully 
placing the finest and best soil from the surface among 
the roots; when the soil is nearly filled in, thoroughly 
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 tread- 
ing the soil with the foot. 


FULL DIRECTIONS FOR CARE AND PLANTING FREE WITH EACH ORDER 


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. Ex- 
perience 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 Le set out with the surety of a reasonable degree of success. 


AN INVITATION 


Our Centerville Nurseries are but a twenty-minute ride from Salt Lake City, either by automobile or electric railway. 
Visitors are always welcome. Much of interest and value would be gained from a trip there during the summer months. 
Hundreds of varieties of roses and other shrubs, ete., both old and new, could there be seen growing side by side and 
the relative merits of anything of particular interest could then be best judged. Without any obligatoin whatever to 
you it will be a pleasure to show you over the grounds.

in the Foreground 


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 the Floral Kingdom that will bring greater reward for cultivation than the Rose. i 
In planting Roses be sure to remember that the hybrid perpetuals do best on heavy soils; the hybrid teas on the 


medium heavysoils, and the teas on the lighter soils. 
SOME THINGS TO OBSERVE . J 

Unpacking Roses—Should plants, when received, have a withered appearance caused by an unusual 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. Mabe 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 pruning, many 
of the Hybrid Perpetuals require 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 94 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. 


Delivery Charges are Prepaid on all Roses at prices quoted in this Catalog. Your are,

well on long stiff stems. Excellent for forcing or outdoor 
culture.

DOUBLE PAEONIES 
HARDY EVERYWHERE THE PEER OF ALL FLOWERS 


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 enriched the more vigorous the growth. 
The plant is extremely hardy and will survive the coldest winters with little or no protection. The abundant dark green 
foliage is exceptionally clean and attractive. The gorgeous display of blooms in the months of May and June is simply 
unequaled, the flowers being perfectly double, many being very fragrant and all of immense size. 

An important point to observe in the planting ot Herbaceous Paeonies is not to plant too deep. The reots should 

_ be placed so that the crowns are covered with two or three inches of soil. Too deep planting is a frequent cause of 


» shy flowering.

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 suitable tree, then plant trees uniform size at equal distances apart on 
the whole block, and you will enchance the value of your property and have a street that lends contentment and re- 
finement to every home. 


The following list of deciduous trees (those that lose their leaves in autumn) 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 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.

be given, according to price charged. Ten per cent discount on orders of 5 trees or more of one variety and size.

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

With “Our Quality Trees” the most einexperienced 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 followed, your trees, plants, etc., can be set out with the surety of a reasonable degree of success. 


Utah English Walnut The Great Utility Tree, Both Fruit and Shade 


UTAH ENGLISH WALNUT 


The Very Shapely and Beautiful Shade Tree That Pays its Owner an Extra Dividend of $30.00 to $50.00 Annually, 
just for Good Measure. Hardy in any Section or Situation Where Apricots and Peaches can be Grown. No Home Orchard 


or Grounds is Complete Without Some of These Trees. 
Before the Utah English Walnut was developed it was generally believed that the climate in most Western States 


was too cold to even consider the culture of walnuts. Experience with this hardy type has proved that it can be grown 
in every section of the West suitable to apricots, cherries or peaches. From our observations of the wonderful results 
obtained by growers in the Salt Lake Valley as well as in colder sections, we have no hesitancy in recommending this 
tree for general cultivation wherever ‘‘stone fruits” can be grown. Not only does it make a shapely and beautiful 
ornamental shade tree, but in six or eight years from planting it produces nuts of good size and superior quality At 
the present price of nuts, single mature trees yield a crop worth thirty to fifty dollars annually.

“The King of Fruits’—‘“An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away” 


No other fruit succeeds over so wide a range of territory 
and under such diversified climatic conditions, and no other fru't 
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 managment, 
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 lucious and healthful when cooked.

Poultry Keeping Cuts the “Hi-Cost”’ 


It pays ont only in dollars and cents, but because its possession insures an abundant and regular supply of eggs and 
table fowls of the highest quality that otherwise could not be secured at all, or only at prohibitive prices. 


Even where all the feed for the fowls is purchased, the cost of producing eggs in the back-yard flock is remarkably 
low. The average family has a great deal of expensive poultry feed in the form of table scraps and waste products. 


The back-yard flock is of special value in this particular if the fowls and eggs are produced largely by the use of 
feed that would otherwise be wasted, a double service is rendered. 


Cheapest and Best for the Home Table 


Eggs form one of the most palatable and nutritious of foods and can be economically substituted for meat, even at 
‘comparatively high prices. Back-yard poultry keepers find that with a low-cost supply of eggs always at hand they are 
able to reduce purchase of meat to a small percentage of what they found it necessary to use before beginning to keep 
fowls, in many cases limiting their visits to the butcher’s shop to once a week, and doing so without any inconvenience. 
In addition to the use of eggs as a meat dish, prepared in the great variety of appetizing ways known to all good cooks, 
‘there is practically no limit to the extent to which eggs can be used in cooking, and in the preparation of various palatable 
‘and inexpensive dishes. 


No Excuse for Failure 


Any average industrious person who is willing to foll-w directions and profit by the experience of recognized au- 
thorities on poultry raising, can’t help but succeed. 


In making this statement, we do not overlook the advantages of experience. As the poultry keeper becomes familiar 
‘with his fowls and their requirements he can expect to be increasingly successful. Many things in connection with the 
‘work can only be learned through experience. But the fact remains that a reasonable measure of success from the start 
is assured to those who give their fowls a fair chance.

(High Protein) 

These beef scraps are a fine clean preparation, made 
from pure inspected meat. You will get no scavenger

tainly a wonderful factor either in egg production or 
prompting vigorous growth in young chicks. Two lb. 25c;

CRUSHED OYSTER SHELL 


This is the most important article for the poultry yard, 
and should be supplied to the fowls liberally. Our shell is 
of superior quality, as all parts of the egg-shell are con- 
tained in them; whereas, a goodly portion of the shell of- 
fered is nothing more than the refuse of the fertilizer 
works, and not fit to offer a decent hen. Six Ib. package

SURELAY 
The Wonderful Egg Producer 


For egg making purposes it is absolutely necessary that 
pullets and laying hens should receive the right kind of 
feed, containing, especially, enough protein for the white 
fat for the yolk and lime for the shells, and as the elements 
of an egg are derived from so many sources, the greater 
the variety of the feed ingredients, the better. Nature 
provides each hen with just so many eggs in the embryo, 
that is, minute yolks which under ordinary circumstances 
it would take her six or seven years to produce. Now it 
is the poultryman’s problem to secure these eggs in two 
or three years, saving the expense of feeding and keeping 
the chickens these three or four unecessary years. There- 
fore, the only way to success in egg production is through 


a balanced ration, having the ingredients so assembled as 
to gain one object—eggs—and SURELAY contains just 
those things, viz: shorts, middlings, flour, corn grits, bone 
meal, meat scraps, fish and whale meal, soy bean meal, 
linseed oileake meal, cotton-seed meal, cocoanut meal, and 
breakfast rolled oats, all thoroughly mixed in the right 
proportions which laying hens must have if they are to 
operate their egg factories to the highest point of efficiency. 
Notice particularly that there are no tonics or medicines 
to force the laying of eggs, but that all the ingredients are 
wholesome foods, thus bringing about the greatest quantity 
egg production in a most natural way. pound 10c; 25 Ibs-

MOLASSES DAIRY FEED 


The Great Balanced Ration for Milk Production. 


The days of wasteful, unscientific feeding of whole grain 
and hay to livestock and poultry are numbered. It is impos- 
sible for this obsolete system to continue. The human race 
is demanding more and more of the grain formerly fed to 
our livestock, and at very high prices—a condition which 
must become more acute as the world’s population increases. 

The eastern, southeastern, southwestern, central and 
Pacifie coast states years ago abandoned the feeding of 
whole grain and hay for the economical, sure, result pro- 
ducing balanced mixed feeds until today it is a rarity to 
find anyone in these states using anything but a mixed 
feed 

The three cardinal points in any ration are: 

PROPER BALANCE 
DIGESTIBILITY, and 
PALATABILITY. 

A home-made feed may be palatible, but so lacking in 
balance and digestibility that the actual cost per pound of 
grain may be double what it wauld have been if the right 
feed was used at the outset Never before have properly 
balanced feeds been so vital from the standpoint of net 
profit as they are today. Never before has variety and 
palatability in feeds been so essential The successful feeder 
would just as soon think of feeding his family bread and 
potatoes three times a day as he would to feed his livestock 
whole grain and hay. A ration costing $40.00 per ton, 
but improperly balanced and of a low digestibility, is more 
expensive than a well balanced, highly digestible ration 
costing twice as much

Guarantees More Milk for Less Money. 


Ever Fat Dairy Feed is a highly concentrated, palatable, 
nourshing feed—a feed that the cows relish and clean up to 
the last mouthful Each ingredient used in making this 
feed is carefully selected, of the highest quality obtainable 
and all are carefully combined to produce the maximum 
quantity of milk, rich in butter fat. 

Everfat Dairy Feed guarantees more milk for less money 
—bigger checks coming in and less money going out—and 
keeps your cow in sleek, plump, and healthy condition. 
Don’t take our word for it Get the facts first hand by 
using Everfat Dairy Feed from a 15-day trial, and start 
that trial today. 

Here is the guaranteed analysis: Protein, not under 
20 per cent, Fat not under 3-4 per cent, Carbo-Hydrate, 
not under 45.0 per cent, and Fibre, not over 14.5 per cent. 
The ingredients are cotton seed meal, wheat bran, barley, 
beet pulp, gluten-feed, alfalfa meal, molasses, salt and corn 
meal. All compounded so as to produce the splendid balance 
ration that will find a place wherever it is tried out. 

FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS 

It is never good to change a dairy cow’s ration suddenly. 
We recommend that when changing, you give your cows 
one-half Everfat Dairy Feed and one-half the old ration 
for the first three days, gradually increasing the quantity of 
Everfat Dairy Feed until at the end of a week you have 
your cows on a straight ration of Everfat Dairy Feed of 
the same weight as the old ration. You will then soon 
reach a point of maximum milk production with each in- 
dividual cow. Write for prices.

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 vigorous kind of chicks that start ta 
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 day’s approval_TO BE RETURNED FOR EX- 
CHANGE AT THEIR EXPENSE 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 insulated double 
top, and the walls are so constructed that the necessary temperature 
ean easily be maintained in any location—even if it be freezing 
or up to 100 degrees. 


A standard Buckeye Metal Thermostat regulates the temperature 
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 it 
there’s a chick in the egg—you’ll get it. 

A Stadard 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 at 

Salt Lake City.

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 
poultry business. 


Most of the chicks you lose in the first few weeks die 
because they did not 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. 7 


PROPER INSULATION 


The Queen in double in-ulated. 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 manu- 
facturing cost. However, it is an absolute requirement 
of a good incubator.

drartits 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 the fire at the 
base through an ovening extending down the side of the 
bottom. This feeds the draft into the fire from underneath 
with no opening below the hover.

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 expands 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 tttention to it whatsoever. Just

FEEDERS AND RACKS FOR POULTRY 


DRY MASH HOPPER 


‘The curved bottom of the Hopper keeps the feed 
within easy reach of the birds. The gradual en- 
largement from the top to base prevents clogging. 
The wire grid and the wires running from the 
flange through the wire grid prevent any chance of 
the fowls throwing out or wasting the feed. The 
sloping cover prevents the birds from roosting on 
the Hopper, and when both covers are closed, it is 
rat and mouse proof. A trial will convince you 
that it is a Hopper of the greatest merit. Manu- 
factured of heavy galvanized iron in three sizes.

NATIONAL CREAM SEPARATOR 
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 desired density. 

A durable machine that will give everlasting satisfaction 
and service, at the minimum cost of up-keep; a separator 
that is mechanically 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 com- 
petitors—and many of these first National Separators are in 
daily use after 20 years of service. 


Cleaned in Three Minutes 
A child can clean it in thre minutes without risk of break- 
ing or haming it. Just wipe off with a wet rag inside and 
out, and rinse in hot water and the job is done.

PEST AND DISEASE KILLERS 


FOR ORCHARD, FARM AND GARDEN 
SCALECIDE 


The “Certain Death” to Scale Insects and Destroys Brown Mite and Apple Leaf Roller Eggs and Controls Canker 
Rot, Root Rot, Twig Blight, and many other Fungus Diseases. ‘ aa % ae z ° 


WITHOUT QUESTION OF A DOUBT, THE BEST DORMANT SPRAY ON THE MARKET TODAY. 


HOW “SCALECIDE” DIFFERS FROM OTHER SPRAYS 


“Scalecide’ is the oldest and best-known miscible oil on the market, and stands alone as a dormant spray. No other 
“spray is made like “‘Scalecide’”’ or contains the same class or as expensive material. Not that it cannot be done (any 
good oil chemist knows how), but no one else is willing to make it for the price. 


Other dormant sprays may do some one thing as well as “Scalecide,’”’ but there is no other spray, either oil or Lime 
Sulphur, that will do all that “‘Scalecide” will, while “‘Scalecide’’ does all that any other dormant spray or combination 
of sprays will, and some things never done before by any spray. 

The manufacturers have been fortunate in getting just the right combination of the right materials; only certain 
petroleum oils and certain vegetable oils can be used to make “‘Scalecide.” 


Don’t judge ‘“Scalecide” by other sprays that look like it. For about half the price, a miscible oil could be made 
that looks like “Scalecide,’’ works like “‘Scalecide,” but it would not be ‘“‘Scalecide” or do the work of “Scalecide.” 


“Scalecide” stands alone among dormant sprays in effect and spreading power. One barrel will do the work of 
three and one-half to four barrels of Lime-Sulphur, its nearest competitor. ‘“Scalecide dilutes at the porportion of one 
to fifteen, but in addition to its mixing at almost half the stength of what it requires of Lime-Sulphur, the oils, when 
mixed with water have a very creepy and fast spreading nature. Consequently they cover twice the area in half the 
time, as against Lime-Sulphur, which only stays on whatever part of the tree it happens to hit. But the saving in 
time and money is in reality only a minor point to the commercial Orchardists with so much at stake. What concerns 
him is ‘‘Does it do the work?’’ We checked up that very thing most carefully before accepting the agency for “Scale- 
cide.” From all critical users, whose experience with other dormant sprays gives weight to their conclusions, comes 
similar testimony, “That ‘Scalecide’ is positively the most effective dormant spray ever used to date.’’ It does everything 
competitive remedies will do and in addition, controls pests and diseases they do not touch. 

The manufacturers sell “Scalecide’”’ on this broad guarantee. 

That “Scalecide” will make a better orchard than Lime-Sulphur or your money back. 

You and your neighbors to be the judges. 


To prove it, divide an orchard in two, your worst or best. Spray one-half with “‘Scalecide” and the other with Lime- 
Sulphur for three years, everything else (cultivation and summer sprays) being equal. If at the end of that time three 
disinterested fruit growers say that the part sprayed with ‘‘Scalecide” is not in every way better than that sprayed with 
Lime-Sulphur, we will return you the money you have paid for the “Scalecide.” 


We konw the manufacturers are financially able and morally disposed to live up to the above guarantee. You will 
take no chances in using ‘“‘Scalecide’ for your dormant spray this year. Price: One-quart can 55c; shipping weight 
3 Ibs.; 1 gal. can $1.00, shipping weight 11 Ibs.; 5 gal. can $7.50, shipping weight 50 Ibs.; 50-gal. barrel, $55.00, ship- 
ping weight 440 Ibs. If desired, “Scalecide’” can be sent Parcel Post in small sizes. See page 2 for amount to send for 


postage. 
HOW TO MiX AND USE 


“‘Scalecide” is a soluble or miscible oil that mixes instantly with water when stirred and stays mixed. 
It should form a white milky solution without oil floating on top. 2 
It does not burn the face or hands or injure even your eyes, and is not poisonous to man or beast. 


It does not corrode or destroy your pump. i 
“Scalecide” will do more to insure the health and vigor of your trees than anything else. 


“Scalecide” as a Fungicide. All “Scalecide” contains a distinct fungicide and shows greater fungicidal action than 


any other dormant spray. 
SIMPLICITY OF “SCALECIDE” 


Any man who can spray with Lime-Sulphur can do twice as good a job with “‘Scalecide,” and cannot go wrong if he 
follows the simplest directions that any ten-year old boy of average intelligence can understand. 


Add 1 gal. “Scalecide” to 15 gals. of water—stir and you are ready to spray any kind of trees that drop their leaves 
in winter, provided it is not too cold to be comfortable, say 40 degrees Fahr. 

Use your finest spray disk on nozzle or spray gun and thoroughly wet the tree from the topmost twig down to 
the ground and around the base of the tree. 

Don’t be afraid to get on too much. 

You cannot get on one-half as much as you would with Lime-Sulphur, but you will do a better job and not so 


disagreeable. 
WHAT TO SPRAY 
Spray any tree, shrub, bush or vine that drops its leaves in winter with “Scalecide,” 1 part to 15 parts of water. 
Evergreens and Conifers with 1 part “Scalecide” to 25 parts water. 
Citrus trees—1 part to 50 or 60 parts of water. 
When “‘Scalecide” is once mixed, it stays mixed. 


Don’t pour water into ‘“Scalecide,”’ but “Scalecide” into water. 
Never mix “Scalecide” with anything but plain water. 
See that your spray pump is free from Lime-Sulphur and Arsenate of Lead, as it may curdle or cause chunks of 


grease to form in the first few tanks. 
WHEN TO SPRAY 


Spray any nice day after the leaves drop in the fall until the leaf-buds begin to swell and turn green in the spring, 
Don’t spray when there is danger of its freezing before it is dry on the trees. 


For Spring and Summer Spray, See Corona Dry Arsenate of Lead, Page 95, also Remedies

STOP FEEDING PLANTS TO CUT WORMS 


Cut Worm Killer is a coarse fibrous preparation for 
strewing near the plants to be protected. It has an entic- 
ing odor and the worms are attracted to it. There is no 
guess work about it doing the “business.” The dead 
cut worms which are found after its use “tell” the story. 

Order Cut Worm Killer when you buy your seeds. The 
worms will not wait for you to buy it so have it on hand 
ready for use at the right time. The cut worm does most 
damage at night and in one or two nights may destroy 
your entire crop. One pound is sufficient for 175 plants 
when in hills and 100 lineal feet when in rows.

DUSTING SULPHUR 


The most common fungus disease 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 or 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: Wlb. 
carton, lic; 1-lb., 25c; 5 Ibs., $1.00. 


DRY POWDERED FUNGI-BORDO 


Fungi-Bordo, the perfect Dry Bordeaux Mixture Concen- 
trate is a dry powder which you will receive in sift-proof, 
impervious packages. There is no freight to be paid on 
water, no danger of freezing or of drying out in the 
package, and the material always reaches you in prime 
condition for immediate use. For general use, use eight 
pounds of Dry Powdered Fungi-Bordo to fifty gallon of 
water will prove an effective insecticide and fungicide. 
1 Ib., 50c; 5 Ibs., $2.25; 10 Ibs., $4.00. 


“BLACK LEAF 40” 
Nicotine Sulphate—40 % Nicotine 


This is the insecticide that is so highly recommended 
by Experiment Stations. It destroys Aphis (plant lice), 
Thrips, Leaf-hoppers on all trees, bush and vine fruits, 
vegetables, field crops, flowers and shrubs; also Apple 
Red Bug, Pear Psylla and similar soft-bodied sucking 
insects—all without injury to foliage. 

May be combined with other sprays. Highly concentrated. 
Soluble in water—easy to mix—does not clog nozzle. 

“Black Leaf 40” is a concentrated solution of Nicotine 
Sulphate and contains 40 per cent of Nicotine by weight. 
The difference between ‘free’ nicotine and nicotine sul- 
phate is that nicotine in the “free” state evaporates much 
more easily. Hence, the sulphate is to be preferred for 
purposes requiring more “lasting’’ properties, such as for 
spraying outdoor plants and trees, but not for fumigating. 

You cannot go wrong by ordering “Black Leaf 40” for 
sucking insects. 


PRICES: 
1 oz. §$ .25 makes 6 gallons spray 
1% Ib. 1.00 makes 40 to 120 gallons spray 
2 Ib. 3.25 makes 160 to 500 gallons spray 


SOAP AS A SPREADER 
In order to assist the ‘Black Leaf 40” to penetrate to and 
thoroughly wet the insect, it is advisable when spraying 
with “Black Leaf 40” alone to add 3 to 4 pounds of dissolved 
whale oil soap to every 100 gallons of spray. When using 
“Black Leaf 40’ in combination with other sprays, do not 
use soap. 


INSECTO 
Effective remedy against fungus, since it is put up in 
powdered form, it is more easily handled than the Bordeau 
mixture which it replaces. One Ib. package, 55c; 5-lb. 
package, $2.25. 


LIME-SULPHUR (Dry Form) 


A good remedy for San Jose Seale; also an excellent 
fungicide. One lb., 40c; 5-lb. package, $1.75; 10-lb. pack- 
age, $3.00; 25-lb package, $6.75; 100 Ibs, $20.00. 


“NICO-FUME” LIQUID 
“Nico-Fume” Liquid is a highly refined solution of free 
nicotine and is of exceptional purity. It is guaranteed to 
eontain 40 per cent of nicotine by weight in water solution. 
It contains no alcohol, camphor or other chemicals or 
adulterations which might impair its efficiency or injure 
plants. One-fourth Ib. can, 75c; 1-lb., $2.50; 4 Ibs., $7.00. 


“NICO-FUME” PAPER 


For fumigating greenhouses, replacing the old tobacco 
stem method. For the ordinary greenhouse (100 feet long 
by 20 feet wide) eight or ten sheets will usually furnish 
a strong fumigation; larger or smaller houses in propor- 
tion. Price: 24 sheets, $1.25; 144 sheets, $5.00. 


POISON BAIT 


“Corona Dry” is the best poison that can be used for 
this purpose. Take the proper amount of bran, mix it 
with 10 per cent “Corona Dry’? and 10 per cent molasses, 
by weight, and seatter it about the infested trritory i: 
small bails, about the size of a plum. The Cut Worms will 
leave the ground to eat the bait and will be killed in large 


numbers. 
TOBACCO DUST 


When dusted over young plants, it is very efficient in 
repelling many kinds of bugs and in keeping the foliage 
from Aphis and Lice. Its specific uses have been indicated 
under the different plants and vegetables enumerated. 
There need be no fear of using too much because it does 
no harm and is considered a good fertilizer. Price: One. 
half Ib., 15c; Ib., 25c; 5 Ibs., $1.00; 10 Ibs., $1.75.
