FRANKLIN PARK LAWN SEED
TRADE MARK REGISTERED
THE BEST SEED MAKES BEST LAWNS

An Ideal Lawn Seed Mixture. CLEANEST—BEST — CHEAPEST.
The formula for this mixture was originally patterned after that used by the Park Commissioners of the City of
Boston so successfully for years in laying out many of the lawns and terraces which to-day we so greatly admire
throughout our sple ndid park system. To this we have added from our own experience until we now have a mixture
which we confidently believe to be superior to many, and second to none. The very large demand for this lawn seed
has necessitated our having the name FRANKLIN PARK registered as a trade mark in order to protect ourselves
from imitators.
Our Franklin Park Lawn Seed is blended from reeleaned seeds of different varieties that will make a good lawn
quickly. It is a mixture adapted to a wide variety of soils and is certain to give pleasing results. It will start at
once and in a short time show a beautiful deep green and retain it during the season with slight attention. The
foliage is fine and we confidently recommend it wherever a thick velvety sod is desired. Weight, 32 lbs. per bushel.
Other mixtures, weighing from 14 to 20 lbs. per bushel cost more in proportion for they must necessarily
contain more chaff, and more seed will be required to cover a given area. The best is cheapest and we advise
using Franklin Park Lawn Seed as the best investment.
QUANTITY REQUIRED FOR NEW LAWNS
1 lb. (1 Qt.) for 500 sq. ft.; 4 lbs. (V 2 pk.) 2400 sq. ft.; 8 lbs. (1 pk.) 5000 sq. ft.; 32 lbs. (1 bu.) 20,000 sq. ft.;
64 lbs. (2 bu.) one acre.
Prices: y 2 lb. 30cts.; 1 lb. 50cts.; 2 lbs. 95 cts.; 4 lbs. $1.75; 8 lbs. $3.00; 32 lbs. $10.00.

SHADY LAWK SEED
LAWK SABO
SHADY SPOT LAWN SEED
For sowing on the north side of buildings, between houses, and for securing a lawn
under large shade trees.
In many lawns there are places where it seems as though nothing can he grown; some are shaded by large trees
and others by buildings. For these locations we recommend our Shady Spot Lawn Seed.
It is always advisable for those who are seeding down the shady places to supply new soil, if possible, especially
if large trees are producing the shade, as their roots spread so fast as to exhaust the nourishment in the soil. \\ hen
unable to supply new soil, the ground should be well dug over, and if tree roots predominate, these should be taken
out. In most shady places the soil has a tendency to be sour, and we strongly recommend the use of land lime
(about 50 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.)
This special mixture for shady locations is selected from the best grasses possible to obtain for this purpose,
and only those that grow and flourish under shady conditions in their natural and wild state are used. Ordinary
lawn grass might grow for a short time, but as a general rule it will last but a short while and then make a poor
showing.
Shady Spot Lawn Seed if sown in these places will undoubtedly grow and produce the best results.
PRICE AT OUR STORE: lb. 15c., lb. 25c., 1 lb. 45c., 2 lbs. 80c., 10 lbs. $3.75, 25 lbs. $9.00;
50 lbs. $16.00, 100 lbs. $30.00.
If wanted by mail allow for postage. See inside cover page.
Use Climax Lawn Sand for Weedy Lawns
This remarkable preparation, when applied to weedy lawns, will adhere to the rough, hairy leaves
of Dandelions, Plantains, etc., and, by absorbing therefrom all the sap, destroy them beyond recovery
If acts as a valuable fertilizer. The most weedy and impoverished lawn will show a remarkable
improvement after a single application.
A leaflet, giving in detail all the merits of this wondefrul weed eradicator, explicit directions for use
and testimonials from every part of this country, will be gladly mailed free to any applicant.
When to Apply. Select a bright day when the weather seems settled for at least 24 hours. The
weeds should be exposed to the direct rays of the sun for three or four hours after application. Stubborn
weeds like Plantain, Dandelion and Dock should have a pinch applied directly in the crown of each.

BOSTON QUALITY LAWN SEED
What is more attractive than a well-designed house
surrounded by artistically treated grounds and a
beautiful lawn, the rich, green, velvety turf being
always the most attractive ?
You can make your lawn by using sod or sowing
seed. If sods are used you may have your lawn
quicker, but it is not to be compared to the one sow n
by seed, as the dry weather causes creases to form,
about which the grass dies out, and the grasses in the
sod usually found in the pastures or on the roadsides,
and which is generally the kind used, arc not the sort
to make a smooth turf on a lawn.
Use the “Boston Quality Lawn Seed.” It is
not the work of a novice to select varieties of grasses
that will produce a lawn for all situations, but he must
be a person of long experience and thorough knowl¬
edge of the growth of grasses that will make a good
turf. You will find the “Boston Quality Lawn
Seed” one that meets the requirements. It is com¬
posed of such grasses that make a good turf, carefully
blended together in such proportions as will produce a good lawn when properly prepared, and will grow under
varied conditions, soils and climates and at different seasons of the year. Here is the advantage of the “Boston
Quality Lawn Seed.”
For making new lawns use 4 bushels to acre; 1 qt.. will sow 300 square feet or a plot 15 x 20 feet.
3^ lb. 25c., 1 lb. 40c., 10 lbs. $3.50, 25 lbs. $8.00, 50 lbs. $15.50, 100 lbs. $30.00.
PULVERIZED SHEEP MANURE
Wizard Brand. “A Wagon Load in a Bag.”
The successful use of Wizard Brand Pulverized Sheep Manure and
the constantly increasing demand for this high grade natural fertilizer is its
best recommendation. It is the best and most economical natural manure.
By a special process, heat has killed all the weed seeds common to animal manure so that contamination by
the use of Wizard Brand Sheep Manure is impossible. Perfectly safe for all particular uses, such as golf course,
country club, and park lawns into which the introduction of weeds or foreign grasses would be extremely objec¬
tionable.
It is a complete fertilizer containing a liberal supply of each of the three necessary plant foods, nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash, in combination with humus and organic matter so essential, and yet so difficult for
the average man to obtain.
If you really want the greenest kind of a velvety lawn or a garden that will be a delight to possess, flowers
of rare foliage and bloom, fruits, vegetables, and berries that come near to perfection, give your soil a liberal dress¬
ing of Wizard Brand Sheep Manure the first thing this Spring.
As a top dressing for lawns broadcast about 100 lbs. per 2000 sq. ft. or one ton per acre. Don’t be without
a supply, for its cost is small compared with its returns.

Putting Green Mixture
A very carefully prepared mixture for use on putting greens, croquet lawns, tennis courts, bowling greens, and lawns
used for clock golf. This mixture produces a very thick, soft growth, when sown on a well prepared ground, and mowed
short will allow a ball to roll in almost a direct line. The grasses used are such as can be kept closely cropped and will
stand a great deal of trampling. No mixture could possess more desirable qualities. \N e especially recommend it to

to the prepared slope good results may lie assured. One to two lbs. per square rod is a fair application of seed.

Vegetable Seeds
The growing and marketing of the enormous quantities
of seed required to produce the food for the £ne hundred
million people in these United States of ours is a tremendous
problem. Today the two ends of the business are to a
large extent entirely separate and confined to specialists.
We make no claim to produce all the seeds we offer for sale,
but there are many strains the stock seed of which we con¬
trol and take pride in offering to the public as being es¬
pecially desirable. The balance of our list is purchased
from experts in their particular line, men who we have
learned by our_ 3 ’ears of experience are reliable. 1 hus it is
that we can assure our friends that our seeds are the
“Highest Grade” in accord with our policy. ^Ve offer
our services, confident that, by means of the constantly
improving parcel post system, we can bring the best the
world affords to your very door, and we respectfully solicit
your patronage.
Asparagus
One ounce will sow about 50 feet of drill.
Culture —Asparagus roots may be purchased in
the Spring, or may be grown from seed sown in
April or May, in good soil, in drills 12 to 14 inches
apart. The permanent bed should be made very rich
with well-rotted manure, and thoroughly worked
over to a depth of nearly 2 feet. The Asparagus
roots (either one or two years old) are to be trans¬
planted into this bed, setting them in rows 3 or 4
feet apart, leaving about 18 inches between the
plants in the row. Lay the roots flat in trenches,
spreading them well, and using care to have all the
crowns placed in the same direction, to keep the
roots from running together. Cover lightly at first,
gradually filling the trenches as the plants begin to
start; the crowns of the roots should be about six
inches below the level of the bed. Avoid location
near trees, particularly large trees, or their roots
will soon take possession of the ground.

One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; three to four pounds
required for acre .
Culture. — April is the time to sow for early use.
Sow seed in drills twelve to fifteen inches apart, and thin
out from three to four inches in drill, covering: seed about one-half inch.
For general crop sow in May same distance apart as above, but cover seed
a little deeper, as sun is stronger. Perfect specimens require a fine, pul¬
verized, deep soil.
Danvers Half-Long Improved
(Stump Root.) For a general
crop the best; the largest yield;
the most profitable for the market gardeners. A half long orange Carrot.
Roots medium length, tapering uniformly to a blunt point; smooth and
handsome. Flesh sweet, crisp and tender. It is a desirable second early
Carrot for the home garden and is also
suitable for field culture. The tops are
of medium size. The mature roots are
six to eight inches long. Although the
roots of this variety at maturity are com¬
paratively short they often produce as
large a bulk as the longer field sorts
and are more easily harvested. The Dan¬
vers Ilalf-Long originated in Danvers,
Mass., where the raising of Carrots is a
specialty. It is now grown largely
everywhere on account of its great pro¬
ductiveness and great adaptability to all
classes of soil. Great care has been
taken in the selection of roots for seeds.

CHANTENAY, HALF-LONG. A most
excellent, medium early, half-long va¬
riety. It is one of the best in quality
for the market and home garden, while
its great productiveness and the ease
with which it can be harvested make it
desirable ns a field sort. The tops are
medium sized iwith small neck. The
mature roots are thick, five and one-half
to six inches in length, uniformly half-
long or stump rooted but tapering slightly; smooth, deep orange-red in
color. The flesh is very crisp and tender. Although a medium early
sort the roots are suitable for use nearly as early as any. The variety
is extensively used for bunching.

dug. Flesh is a bright orange, fine grain and very sweet. The mature
roots are four and one-half to five inches long, very thick, ending
abruptly in a small tap root. When young the roots are desirable for
table use as a medium early Carrot, and when mature they are equally
good for stock feeding. Tops are small for the size root. Grows veil
in soil too hard for the longer growing sorts.

CAULIFLOWER
One ounce of seed produces about 2,000 plants.
Culture. —Cauliflowers require very high cultivation, even more so than Cab¬
bage and plenty of moisture. There is no more delicious vegetable grown. Cold-
frame plants are probably the best and hardiest for early crops; the frames, how¬
ever need rather more protection during cold nights than is required for Cab¬
bage plants. Seed sown in hotbeds in February will produce plants that are not
inferior to coldframe plants. They should be transplanted once before setting in
the open ground, and also should be gradually hardened by exposure; in this way
they may be in condition to set out as early in April as the ground will permit.
Set the early sorts about 2 feet by 15 inches, and cultivate the same as Cabbage.
Where irrigation is practicable, great advantage is thus obtained during a drought.
For late Cauliflower, sow seed in open ground from the middle of May to the
middle of June, in hills the same as directed for late Cabbages. When the heads
are forming, tie the leaves together at the top, thus avoiding the discoloration
by exposure to the sun.

Fottler, Fiske, Rawson
Co.
Culture. —The proper time to sow is early in April, transplanting about the first of June. Set in
rows 3 feet apart, and about 12 inches between plants in the row. Some gardeners trim off the tops
a little, while the plants are small, to make them more stocky. Keep down all weeds, and, as Fall
approaches, draw earth up to the plants, keeping the stalks well together. This earthing-up is con¬
tinued at intervals, until only the leaves appear above the soil. When well blanched is ready for
use. For Winter use it is usually placed in frames and covered with earth and litter or stored in cool
cellars. Comparatively few soils are suited to Celery culture. Rich, mellow soils of a sandy
nature are best, while soils that settle and become hard after rain are unsuitable. The seed, being
very small, should be covered very lightly.

SWEET
CORN
Mammoth Golden Dawn
A Wonderfully Fine New
Yellow Sweet Corn
In this new variety we have a yellow Sweet Corn of real merit that has
proven an excellent sort for succession planting. Our prediction as to its
popularity has come true, for it has made good. In fact, it has more than
exceeded our hopes.
In habit of growth the plant resembles its parent, Golden Dawn, attain¬
ing about 5 feet in height. However, the stalks grow stronger than it or
Golden Bantam, and usually bear two good eating ears apiece.
The ears are 9 to 10 inches long and are full of sweet, juicy kernels from
butt to tip, with the delicious flavor of Golden Dawn. Each has 14 to 1G
rows of fine-grained, tender golden kernels on a white cob, coming into prime
eating condition at the same time ns Crosby. Mammoth Golden Dawn
satisfies the need of a large ear of the finest flavor for first early ripening.
The picture shows a typical ear. When dry the grains are firm and
solid, permitting of as early planting as Golden Bantam. The color is a
rich golden yellow.
Its habit of growth makes it especially desirable for the home garden
where quantity, quality and productiveness are essential. Plant in succession
from early to late, and enjoy its fine flavor during the whole season.

Crosby Extra Early
The True Josiah Crosby Strain
It is our good fortune to again offer seed of this splendid variety that we know to be grown from the original
stock that Schlegel & Fottler sold so successfully for years.
Their stock was grown by Josiah Crosby himself and sold exclusively by them to their trade, including the
Maine canners who prized it as the best to be had. It is still unequalled for this purpose.
What we now offer has all the good qualities of that original favorite which has continued to satisfy critic: 1
trade year after year.
The plants are very dwarf, not growing over iy 2 feet in height, and the ears are set very low. Being of this
dwarf habit, the hills can be set closely together in the garden so that the yield per given space will average well
in comparison with large-eared sorts. It comes into bearing immediately after the Red Cory, which it far sur¬
passes in flavor and quality.
The ears are from b]/ 2 to 7 inches in length, with 12 to 1G rows of short square grains that taper to the cob.
The grains are very white, sweet and tender, and retain all their good qualities when canned.
We are confident that the many friends of former days will appreciate an opportunity to again grow Crosby’s
Extra Early with all its former quality. The -stock is true to type and we are sure it will please.
Our stock of this fine strain is not large, so we are compelled to offer it in packets only.

with sixteen or more rows of the finest sugary grains. A very productive
sort with deep set white tender kernels. For the home garden, market
grower or canning factory, it is always successful. We have specialized

Cucumber, Improved White Spine
CUCUMBER
One ounce will plant about 50 hills; one to two
pounds to the acre.
Culture. —To obtain early Cucumbers plant the seeds about the first of May in frames, without much
bottom heat, or small pots may be plunged into the soil in the frames, and a few seeds placed in each. In
three or four weeks these may be transplanted into open ground. Hills 3 or 4 feet apart each way. When
the plants are well started, thin out, leaving four of the strongest in each hill. Seeds may be planted in
hills late in May, making the crop somewhat later. For pickles, plant during the last two weeks in June.

ONIONS
ONION
An ounce will sow 100 feet of drill. Four to fire pounds to the acre.
Culture. —Select a clean, rich piece of land upon which Onions were
grown the previous year, if possible. Scatter broadcast a heavy dressing
of well rotted manure, and plough six or seven inches deep as early in
the Spring as the ground can be worked; harrow and rake down to a fine
even surface. Sow about four pounds of seed per acre, in drills a foot apart, and a quarter of an inch
deep. If a seed-drill is used it should be provided with a good roller to press the earth firmly upon the
seed, particularly if the soil is very dry. Sow as early as possible. A few days’ delay often makes a
marked difference in the crop. Unless the plants stand very thick together, they need not be thinned out
much, if any, as Onions will crowd each other and find room to grow. Never allow the weeds to get
ahead of the young plants. The weeds must receive early attention. Use a scuffle or wheel-hoe between
the rows and pull out the weeds not reached by the hoe. When the tops are all down, and the Onions
well formed, they may be pulled, and left on the ground for a fortnight or longer to dry (unless the
weather be unfavorable), turning them occasionally with a wooden rake.
DanvArc Y*»llnw ninl*** This is the most popular of all the yellow Onions for market and home use.
L/anvcia 1C11UW U1UUC ‘ Uniform in shape, heaviest cropper and best keeper. This strain of seed
-f has been grown many years in this vicinity, and is practically the only yellow Onion for the market
gardeners here. It is the true Buxton type; is large in size, early, an abundant cropper, very thick bulb,
flat or slightly convex bottom, full, oval top, small neck, rich brownish yellow skin. The tops at ma¬
turity entirely disappear, leaving the bulbs clean and solid. Our stock is the original true type, with
its extremely fine keeping qualities and is probably not excelled by any other variety grown.

fine; flesh is pure white, fine grained, mild, delicate flavor; excellent for Fall or early Winter use.

POTATOES
Eight to ten bushels. or three to four barrels sufficient for one acre. One peck will plant 75 hills.
Early Ohio Potato
EARLY ROSE. (Early.) The standard variety which
is usually the first variety which appears on the early
market and is widelv grown for this purpose. Its tubers
are roundish, oblong and somewhat flat, while the skin
is flesh colored or pink. The sprouts are a deep rose
lilac in color while the flowers are usually white. I his
one is not as prolific as some of the later sorts, but is
extremely early.
GREEN MOUNTAIN. (Late.) Vines are strong and
vigorous. Both skin and flesh extremely white; good
yielder. One of the best general crop Potatoes and a
fine keeper. The tubers are Qblong with a dull cream
or light russet skin.
IRISH COBBLER. (Early.) An excellent variety for
light soils, producing a larger yield than most varieties
when used on a light soil. The Potato is white and of
medium size, roundish in shape. I he quality is excel¬
lent, especially for baking.
Potatoes sent by express or freight, purchaser
paying transit.
Our seed Potatoes are strictly Maine grown. Special
price on large quantities.
Crops being uncertain at time of catalogue going to
press, we are unable to make definite price. Quota¬
tions made when stock is ready for delivery
Culture —-Any good soil will produce Potatoes,
but quality is much improved when produced on good
sandy loam. Make furrows of good depth, three feet
apart, scatter a liberal dressing of fertilizer in the
drill. Cover slightly with earth and upon this set
the seed Potatoes in hills one and one-half feet apart.
If a very early crop is desired, it will be necessary
to sprout the Potatoes before planting. Cut the Po¬
tatoes in pieces of the size desired and place in a
warm light room for four days before required for
planting in the open ground.
Use Bordeaux mixture for blight and arsenate of
lead for the Colorado beetle, or if, as is often the
case, both these conditions prevail, use the two in
combination. We recommend Pyrox (Howker’s) for
this purpose knowing it to be effective, and we be¬
lieve it will also increase the crop and improve the
quality.
BEAUTY OF HEBRON. (Early.) Pure white with
flesh-colored skin; an excellent variety for late plant¬
ing; produces well on most soils, and one of the best
sorts for keeping. When cooked it is dry and mealy.
DELAWARE. (Late.) Vines are strong and vigorous;
tubers are large, smooth, white and excellent quality.
EARLY NORTHER. (Early.) An excellent early
variety, resembling the Early Rose in shape and color.
EARLY NORWOOD. (Early.) Excellent- yielder, cooks
perfectly white, dry and floury. The vines are of me¬
dium size, bushy and compact; resembling the Early
Rose in color and broader at. the stem end. Tubers run
very uniform as to size, and are practically all market¬
able. Its handsome appearance, perfect form and superb
cooking qualities will readily recommend it to every
grower.
EARLY OHIO. (Early.) This is about a week to ten davs
later than Early Rose and the tubers are more prolific
and of higher quality. It appears on the market shortly
after Early Rose and is grown more extensively. The
tubers are round or oblong, while the skin is flesh colored
to light pink with numerous small russet dots and the
sprouts are diffused with carmine or magenta. The
flower is white. While not as high in quality as the
Irish Cobbler, it finds ready sale on the market.
NOROTON BEAUTY. The
finest and most productive
extra early Potato grown.
Handsomer in appearance and
more uniform in shape than any
other sort. Its table quality is
superb.
UNCLE SAM. (Late.) Is a
medium late. Large yielder,
good size, and cooks white and
dry.
VERMONT GOLD COIN.
(Late.) The vines are strong
and vigorous, and the tubers
are deeply set in the ground;
well adapted to loose soils and
muck land; the tubers are
large, color white with a slight
streak of pink; of fine quality;
very dry and mealy.

Rhubarb
Culture. —This plant is mostly propagated by dl
vision of the roots. The best time to set out thi
plants is early in the Spring, although it is some
times done in Autumn. Make furrows of gooc.
depth, 3 to 4 feet apart, according to the variety
planted; across these furrows, at right angles, make
others the same distance apart; at each intersection
put three or four shovelfuls of good manure, and
upon this set the plants. Any good soil will suit
Rhubarb; but to obtain heavy crops, good soil well
manured is indispensable. A piece of root with a
single bud, or eye, is enough for each hill. Culti¬
vate during Summer, but do not pull any stalks
the first year. Late in Autumn cover each plant
with a good shovelful of manure, and plough a
furrow against each side of the rows; this protec¬
tion will assist the earliness of the crop. In early
Spring level the ground, working in the manure witli
a fork. Plants can be obtained from seed, which
may be sown in a hotbed in March, and the plants
set out about the middle of May. It takes longer,
however, to obtain a crop from seedling plants than
from roots.

Spinach
One ounce trill sow 50 feet of drill. Twelve to sixteen
pounds will sow an acre.
Culture. —Spinach may be grown on any ordinary
soil, and its cultivation is a very simple matter. It
is grown both as a Spring and Summer Crop. For
early use, sow in August or September, in drills 12
to 14 inches apart. At the approach of cold weather
cover lightly with straw, or any hardy litter. Un¬
cover when the plants begin to make a new growth
in Spring. For Summer use, sow early in Spring,
in the same way as above, using rather less seed.
If the plants stand too thick, thin to 3 or 4 inches
apart. A liberal dressing of good manure should
be used. The land can hardly be made too rich.
All Season ^ superb variety for planting in
-- _ rotation all Summer long. It does
not send up its flower stems and bear seed the
same as the early varieties which are easily af¬
fected by hot weather. While most sorts of Spin¬
ach are usually grown for Fall and Spring crops,
this excellent variety may be used through the Sum¬
mer months with satisfactory results. The leaves
are thick and tender, and quite crumpled.

ties in hills eight feet apart, covering the seed about
one and one-half inches deep.

TOMATO
One ounce will produce about 2,000 plants.
Culture. —Of Tomatoes the varieties are nu¬
merous, some of them being very distinctive.
However, there are many sorts of the large red
varieties annually introduced and represented as
being superior to all others which, as a rule, do
not show variation enough to be classed as dis¬
tinct varieties. The seed may be sown in hot¬
beds, with good bottom heat, in February or
March; and when the plants are two or three
inches high, transplant into other frames about
four or five inches apart each way, or boxes or
single pots which are to remain in the frames.
Set the plants out in open ground, not earlier
than the last week in May or first week in
June. Being very tender they will not bear the
least frost. Choose a light, sandy, or gravelly
loam, in a well-sheltered situation, and with a
southern exposure if possible, as early fruit is
desirable. In such a location the plants may be
set about four feet apart each way, using a large
shovelful of well-rotted manure in each hill. On
rich soils but little, if any, manure is necessary;
and the plants will need to stand about six feet
apart each way.

Too much emphasis cannot be laid upon the importance of selecting the purest seed obtainable. Clean seed
means clean crops. It is economy to buy the best, for results will justify the slight increase in cost over cheaper
grades. The crop is what counts.

Beardless. The earliest and hardiest of all. May be
sown early in the Spring without danger from frost.
The straw is heavy and stands up under a heavy crop.
Being beardless it can be handled and threshed as easily
as Oats. It is of much more value than common Barley
for stock as it can be fed without danger of injury to the
animals. Crops always show some bearded plants
although our strain is exceptionally fine. Sow about
100 lbs. per acre. 6 lbs. 40c., 12 lbs. 75c., 48 lbs. $2.50.

etation has dried up. It is one of the very best plants for
green fodder or for ensilage; makes hay of the best qual¬
ity. Sow broadcast about 50 lbs. to the acre.

Seed Oats Selected. An Oat of strong growth,
--. ripening comparatively early. The heads
are of good size, while the clean straw is stiff and bright.
The essential point in successful Oat. growing is to have a
variety with stiff, strong, heavy straw and one that will
withstand heavy winds. The grains are of good color,
thin hull and heavy meat. This variety does ■well in our
Eastern climate, particularly in dry seasons. Sow 100
lbs. per acre.

Swedish Selected. A variety in favor with a number of
Experiment Stations that endorse it very highly and are
very free to recommend t hese Oats as one of the best they
have ever grown. It is the best drought-resisting Oat on
record. I he straw' is stiff and strong as well as bright
and clean. This selection has a thin hull, heavy meat

0 Dwarf Essex. Of great commercial value as a
- forage for stock and poultry. It will thrive on
almost all soils except light sandy and stiff clays, or where
most of our common vegetables will succeed. For Sum¬
mer crops seed should be sown in May, but for late Fall
crops sowings may be made in June and July. The best
results are obtained if sown in drills alx>ut 30 inches
apart to allow for horse cultivation, using 2 to 4 lbs. per
acre. Seed may also be sown broadcast, but only w'hen
weather is moist enough that the soil will not dry too
deep. It is usually ready for cutting in eight to ten
weeks’ time from seeding, and it is advisable to cut for
cattle rather than turn them into a field; poultry may
be turned into it to feed as soon as it has made sufficient
growth. An exceptionally fine green feed for sheep and
swine.
Lb. 20c., 5 lbs. 75c., 15 lbs. $2.00, 50 lbs. $6.25.
0 Spring. For a catch crop this is best for sownng
- in the Spring, as you can obtain a crop by later
sowing than any other grain, although it does not yield
as large a crop of grain as the Winter Rye. Sow GO to 90
lbs. per acre.

Sudan Grass £ , Ne " Annual Forage Crop.
- Sudan Grass is a drought-resistant
hay crop of great merit. In dry sections it yields more
forage than Millet; the hay which is relished by stock of
all kinds is of better quality than Millet hay. As a re¬
sult of extensive tests the Department of Agriculture
reports that Sudan Grass will l>e extremely valuable in
arid regions which have no other satisfactory hay crops.
After the ground has become warm, seed may be sown
broadcast at the rate of from 1G to 24 lbs. per acre; if
planted in drills IS to 24 inches apart, from 4 to G lbs. per

Winter, or Hairy Vetch (Vicia villosa). Sand or Hairy
Vetch is becoming more popular with those who wish to
grow more forage, for it is especially adapted as a soil
fertilizer. It succeeds and produces a good crop on
poor, sandy soil as well as on good land, and is perfectly
hardy. The root growth is very extensive and makes a
quantity of nitrogen tubercles. Sow from July to
November broadcast at the rate of from twenty to thirty
pounds to the acre, with one bushel of Oats or Itye, for
either will assist in holding the Vetches off the ground,
allowing a better growth and earlier harvesting. If
sown alone thirty to forty pounds per acre should be used.

Pvrolfiinr A variety that will mature
excelsior unsnage (!llickor in our Xew Eng iand
climate than any other variety of recent introduction.
The stalks are tall and sturdy, attaining a height of 12 to
15 feet, with dense foliage. The yield in some instances
has been as high as 29 tons of silage per acre, but is
usually 20 to 25 tons per acre under ordinary cultivation
after taking from 150 to 175 bushels of ears. It usually
matures in 80 to 90 days to the glazed state, while in some
Eastern states seed stock has been produced. Being a
hybrid, the seed does nor run uniform as to color, some
showing red and white kernels as well as yellow, which
predominate.
Lb. 20c., 7 lbs. 85c., 14 lbs. $1.35, 56 lbs. $5.00.
Qfri/'Lrr»<*v , e The Prize'Winner Strain. On a measured

bushels, an average of over 91 bushels per acre. The ear
is much thicker than the Longfellow, cob is small, usually
eight rows of kernels, although sometimes it has 12 rows.
The stalks grow about as high as the Longfellow, but the
crop matures earlier. We believe it to be one of the
largest yielding varieties of Flint Corn.

II F6 lbs. 90c., 12 lbs. $1.60, 50 lbs. $5.85.
Sugar Corn for Green Fodder. We find many of our
farmers favor this for ensilage purposes owing to the
large percentage of saccharine matter in the stalks. To
cut up and use for Corn fodder in the Fall there is nothing
better. Especially good because of its thick growth
and early maturity. Usually sown in drills for early
Summer and Fall Corn at the rate of two bushels pei
acre in drills 4 feet apart.
6 lbs. 85c., 12 lbs. $1.40, 50 lbs. $4.00.
DENT VARIETIES
In many localities in New England the Dent varieties
have been grown very successfully. It is a fact that the
yield is practically double that of the Flint varieties. We
would recommend a part of your plantings of Field Corn
to be of the Dent varieties.
Brewer’s Yellow Dent. Strictly a New England variety,
that we have no hesitancy in recommending, for it has
overcome all of the difficulties of ripening this Corn here
in New England. This Corn was awarded First Grand
Eureka Ensilage
The tallest and best ensi¬
lage Corn; producing more
valuable material for the silo than any other, and is also
very productive of ears. Eureka is a choice selection of
Southern Corn, and in its native latitude has shelled out
100 bushels to an acre. Its value is due to its enormous
growth and great production of leaves and ears. Grows
12 to 15 ft. tall. Our seed of this popular white Dent
sort has always given satisfaction.
Lb. 20c., 7 lbs. 75c., 14 lbs. $1.25, 56 lbs. $4.00.
I,earning Improved. One of the most popular and pro¬
ductive varieties, bearing, as a rule, two good ears on
each stalk. The ears are long, with small, red cobs, well
filled with kernels of medium size and rich golden color.
It will ripen in from 100 to 110 days, and makes a good
crop even in a dry season. Very strong and vigorous;
the stalks are very leafy, making an excellent fodder;
the kernels are so deep that it is an extra large yielder.
We recommend it highly.
Lb. 20c., 7 lbs. 75c., 14 lbs. $1.25, 56 lbs. $4.00.
Minnesota No. 13. A heavy yielding, very early yellow va¬
riety, maturing in 90 days of corn growing weather. Grows
to a height of 8 feet, furnishing a great amount, of fodder.
The ears are 8 inches long, with 16 rows of fairly deep
kernels.

AWNLESS BROME GRASS fBromus inermis). A very
hardy perennial of great value on poor and dry soils.
Especially recommended for pastures, as it starts early
in the Spring and stands trampling well, forming as it
does a very tough sod. The hay is nearly equal to Tim¬
othy in palatability, and is relished by all kinds of stock,
if cut just before flowering. If sown alone use 20 to 30
lbs. per acre. Price on application.
BEACH GRASS (A mmophila arundinacea). Valuable on
the sandy seashore, canal and railway banks, etc. Its
strong, creeping, matting roots bind the drifting sand
into natural embankments against the action of wind and
waves. Height, 2 to 3 ft. Crop uncertain.
Price on application.
CREEPING BENT (Agrostis stolonifera). Especially
adapted to sandy situations, and should be the founda¬
tion of mixtures for pastures and lawns in such locations.
The long prostrate, creeping stems are useful for binding
shifting sands or banks subject to wash. Early to start
in the Spring. ■ Flowers in July. Grows 1 to 2F£ ft. high.
If alone, sow at the rate of 15 to 30 lbs. per acre.
Price on application.
CRESTED DOG’S TAIL (Cynosurus oristatus). A
slightly tufted perennial grass which makes a low, dense
growth early and stands hard wear. Is rarely sown
alone, being generally used in lawn grass mixtures, for
either sun or shade. Attains 1 to 2 ft. Desirable for
hard, dry soils. Good for sheep pastures
Lb. 50c., 5 lbs. $2.45, 15 lbs. $7.20, 50 lbs. $23.00.
ENGLISH RYE GRASS (Lolium perenne). Considera¬
bly used in permanent pasture and lawn mixtures. If
used for Jiay it should be cut when in blossom. It cures ■
into a hay that is rather hard, but it is sweet, and is much
relished by horses and cattle. Germinates quickly, pro¬
ducing a strong growth in four to five weeks after sowing,
and tillers out close to the ground. It does best where
the soil is not too dry. Biennial in habit. 1 to 2 ft. in
height. Alone, use 40 to 60 lbs. per acre.
Lb. 25c., 5 lbs. $1.00, 15 lbs. $2.70, 50 lbs. $7.25.
HARD FESCUE (Festuca duriuscula). A slender, densely
tufted perennial grass, 1 to 2 ft. high. Thrives on dry,
sandy soils. Sow 30 lbs to the acre.
Lb. 45c., 5 lbs. $2.15, 15 lbs. $6.30, 50 lbs. $20.50.
ITALIAN RYE GRASS (Lolium italicum). A biennial variety, 1F6 to 3 ft. high,
flowering in June, at which time it should be cut for the best hay. It thrives on
a variety of soils, but prefers moist, rich land. Starts quickly and seems to be
especially adapted for pasture mixtures of short duration. Sow at the rate of
40 to 50 lbs. per acre. Lb. 25c., 5 lbs. $1.00, 15 lbs. $2.70, 50 lbs. $7.25
MEADOW FESCUE (Festuca elatior). A valuable hay or pasture grass. It will
thrive in wet and moist clay lands; a rapid grower, tending to keep down coarser
grasses which frequent such localities, forming a thick sod which will stand the
trample of cattle. When sown alone, 40 lbs. are required for one acre.
Lb. 45c., 5 lbs. $2.15, 15 lbs. $6.30, 50 lbs. $20.50.
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS (Poa pratensis). Sometimes called “June Grass.”
Without a rival as a pasture grass. Who has not heard of the famous pastures
of the “Blue Grass” regions of Kentucky ? Being of the perennial habit and
with a creeping permanent stem, it will, when once established, last indefinitely,
although it is somewhat slow to start and makes a rather slow growth the first
year. Permanent pastures should not be grazed too closely at first. For lawns
it is the main reliance, being adapted to a wide range of soils, failing only on those
that are acid. Where it will not grow it is usually a sign that the land needs lime. '
It is a strong growing grass and generally crowds out the others in a few years,
which is desirable for it possesses more good qualities than any other which can
enter into a mixture. It makes a good, firm sod, and is particularly suited for
turfing the slopes of terraces and embankments where the soil is good. Sow
early enough in the Spring so that the grass will get a sufficient hold to resist the
heat and drought of Summer; or, if sown in the Fall, the seeding should be in
the latter part of August or early in September. If sown at that time, the Fall
rains will cause the seed to germinate quickly; if sown much later it is liable to
be killed by frost. When sown alone, 30 to 40 lbs. required for one acre.
Lb. 40c., 5 lbs. $1.90, 15 lbs. $5.60, 50 lbs. $18.00.

grasses, the hay being very nutritious, but it should be
cut when in blossom, maturing as it does about the same
time as Red Clover. It is not suitable to sow alone, be¬
cause of its tufted habit. Especially adapted for shady
places, particularly in orchards, and wood lot pastures.
Orchard Grass will grow on almost every soil not satur¬

Lb. 45c. 5 lbs. $1.95, 15 lbs. $5.55, 50 lbs. $18.00.
TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS (Avena elatior.) Most valuable for pastures on
account of its early and luxuriant growth. Withstands extreme drought and heat
or cold. 50 lbs. to the acre. Prefers sandy loam.
Lb. 45c., 5 lbs. $2.00, 15 lbs. $5.85, 50 lbs. $19.00.
TIMOTHY, or HERD GRASS (Phleum pratense). The standard hay of commerce.
The excellent quality of the hay and the ease of culture make it valuable. It is
adapted to most soils, but succeeds best on moist loam and clay. The most profitable
crops are obtained the first and second seasons. Timothy should be cut after the
seed has formed and in full milk and at least 4 in. above ground. Sown alone requires
about 20 lbs. per acre; when sown with Red Clover use 15 lbs. Timothy and 5 lbs.
Red Clover. It may also be sown with Wheat, Oats, or Barley. Prices fluctuate.

VARIOUS-LEAVED FESCUE (Fescue heterophylla). Grows naturally in open
woodlands or along their borders. It makes its best growth on low-lying lands not
t oo .dry. Sow 40 lbs. to the acre. Price on application.
WATER MEADOW GRASS (Poa aquatica). For wet situations this is very useful,
in ^ we ^ * n niar shes or on margins of lakes, streams, etc. Price on application.
WOOD MEADOW GRASS (Poa memoralis). Excellent for shaded positions in lawns

riety of locations, giving very good results on light soils,
and the very best on heavy, moist soils or lowlands liable
to overflow, which are so apt to be sour and acid. It
does not thrive on sandy or leachy soil. A great favorite
throughout New England. The first year it grows
somewhat slowly, spreading by creeping root stocks.
Attains 1 to 2^2 ft. in height. Maturing at about the
same time as Timothy it is used considerably with it and
Red Clover, to make a heavier yield of hay. Cut when
in bloom in July. Red Top makes a splendid grass for
lawns, and is very commonly used with White Clover
and included in mixtures. 14 to 16 lbs. of fancy re¬
cleaned seed is the usual rate of seeding, but if in the chaff

ALFALFA (Medicago sativa). Alfalfa is the mainstay of
the cattle farmer, particularly of the dairyman. It re¬
quires a deep, fertile, well drained soil, rich in lime and free
from weeds. The lack of any one of these may be the
cause of failure. Well-rotted barnyard manure is a suit¬
able fertilizer. Do not use fresh manure as it produces
too many weeds. The young plants are very tender and
if weeds are plentiful they will kill them out. Special
care should Ik* taken in preparing the soil. Land should
be ploughed deep, harrowed ana brushed and allowed to
settle for some time l>efore sowing. Alfalfa succeeds
best if planted in late Summer and should be sown as far
as possible in advance of what promises to be the most
trying time for seedlings. Seed should be covered from
three-quarters of an inch to one inch deep. Inoculation
is one of the most favorable methods of securing a stand.
(We recommend the use of “Mulford Cultures" for this
inoculation). All of our seed is northern grown and
domestic. We do not handle foreign Alfalfa in any way,
as much of it contains dodder and trefoil, the worst
enemies of this crop. For one acre, use 20 to 25 lbs. seed.
Lb. 35c., 5 lbs. $1.50, 15 lbs. $4.35,
50 lbs. $14.00.
Grimm Alfalfa. The Northern Minne¬
sota Alfalfa which is recognized as the
very best selected sort for New Eng¬
land. Lb. $1.00.
ALSIKE (Trifolium hybridum). Inter¬
mediate in size between Red or White
Clover, attaining 1 to 1F 2 ft. An excel¬
lent variety in mixtures for meadows or
pastures. Never used for lawns. It is
adapted to low, wet soils where other
clovers cannot be grown with success.
Very hardy and stands the extremes of
our climate witn the minimum of winter
killing. The hay is nearly equal to Al¬
falfa in feeding value. To seed an acre
alone, use 15 lbs. Lb. 45c., 5 lbs. $1.95
15 lbs. $5.55, 50 lbs. $18.00.
CRIMSON CLOVER (Trifoilum incarna-
tum). Although an annual that will not
x stand the winters of New England, its
uses are many and it is most valuable.
It is excellent as a green manure crop,
and is one of the very best crops for soil
renovation. When used for hay it
should l>e cut when coming into bloom.
Properly cured it is richer in protein
than Ited Clover, and is very desirable
for growing stock. It makes a fine cover
crop for orchards, it being estimated
that a good crop plowed under is worth
20 tons of stable manure per acre.
While it makes its best growth on good
loams, it will do better on poor soils than
Red Clover. The best results are ob¬
tained from seed sown during July and
August. 20 lbs. of seed are required
per acre. Lb. 20c., 5 lbs. 80c., 15 lbs.
$2.25, 50 lbs. $7.00.
MAMMOTH CLOVER. A species of Red Clover com¬
monly known as "Salping." "Pea Vine,” "Bull,” or
"Perennial" Clover. It matures alx>ut two weeks later
than the ordinary Red variety and is the preferable sort
for New England. Mammoth Clover and Timothy are
useful for seeding together on account of their blooming
at the same time, and for the increased weight per acre
over the ordinary Red Clover. Blooming late as it does,
it has an advantage over the Red on account of the insect
pests which injure the early flowering Clovers, and when
used on poor soils produces better results than either
Red or Alsike Clover. When grown for hay, cutting
should take place when in early bloom before the stems
become woody. Particularly valuable as a soil improver
because of the heavy growth that can be plowed under.
Seed required for one acre, 15 lbs.
Lb. 40c., 5 lbs. $1.70, 15 lbs. $4.95, 50 lbs. $16.00.
RED CLOVER (Trifolium pratense). The principal legu¬
minous crop the country over, it being used for both hay
and pasture. It can profitably be used as a soil improver,
because of its ability to build up the supply of nitrogen
in the soil through the bacteria w hich live on its roots.
Red Clover will not succeed on poorly drained or boggy
soil but will produce abundantly on any soil adapted
to Corn. It grows poorly on soils deficient in lime. It
may be seeded in the early Spring or in the Fall. If in
the Spring, the best time for sowing is when the
ground is freezing and thawing, while in the Autumn
sow about six weeks before frost. It is frequently
sown for hay with other grasses, a good combination
being 5 lbs. of Red Clover, 15 lbs. of Timothy, and 5
lbs. of Red Top. The best results to be obtained for
hay is to cut when just past full bloom, containing at
this time the maximum of protein and dry matter.
Quantity required to seed one acre, 15 lbs.
Lb. 40c., 5 lbs. $1.70, 15 lbs. $4.95, 50 lbs. $16.00.
SWEET CLOVER (Melilotus albus). A biennial, whose
great value as a soil renovator has only recently made it
popular. Nothing can lx* grown as a
crop previous to Alfalfa with better re¬
sults than White Sweet Clover, for it
not only inoculates the soil but does
much toward breaking up and aerating
the subsoil. While it produces abun¬
dantly on good soils, it will thrive on
most soils too poor for other crops.
Where lime is deficient it should be sup¬
plied, however. While it has a value for
cither hay or pasture, it does not com¬
pare with other varieties of Clover. As
a honey plant it is much in favor, re¬
maining in bloom as it does for a long
period. Sweet Clover succeeds best
when sown alone at the rate of 30 lbs.
per acre, either in the Spring or Fall.
To eradicate, mow it when in full bloom
that it may not reseed itself.
Lb. 30c., 5 lbs. $1.35, 15 lbs. $3.90,
50 lbs. $12.00.
WHITE CLOVER (Trifolium repens).
Also called White "Dutch” Clover or
Lawn Clover. Essentially a pasture
grass, but it is a favorite with many lx>
cause of the l>eauty of its pinkish blos¬
soms that dot a lawn here and there
when used in lawn mixtures. It makes
its best growth during wet seasons and
on heavy most soils, but it will thrive
almost anywhere if not too dry. Ex¬
treme drought may cause it to disap¬
pear for a time but it usually makes a
luxuriant growth again with the return
of rains. Being of a low creeping habit,
White Clover makes a dense, quickly
spreading growth of a pleasing smooth¬
ness, but it cannot stand rough usage.
Extensively used for bees, making
the best quality of honey. As the seed is fine and the
amount used by any individual is small, it is poor
economy to try to save a few cents on its cost. Get the
best. 8 to 10 lbs. will sow an acre.
Lb. 80c., 5 lbs. $3.90, 15 lbs. $11.55, 50 lbs. $38.00.
Clovers are a Necessity on Every Farm.
Clovers enrich the soil, for their roots gather im¬
mense quantities of nitrogen fixing bacteria, which take
nitrogen from the air and leave it in the soil in a form
readily available for growing crops. Nitrogen is the
most expensive chemical to buy in fertilizer. Why
not make use of this cheap source and encourage their
growth by the use of MULFORD CULTURES.

Hints on Sowing. Carefully prepare land. Pains taken before sowing will be amply repaid. Select a clear, calm
day for sowing. Scatter the seed across the field in both directions to secure a more even distribution. Use a Gaboon
Seeder if sowing large areas. (See page 167.) Its cost will be quickly saved. If seed is sown in the Spring it should \)c
done early while the land is cool and moist. If in the Fall, as far in advance of frost as practicable. Remember that
Clover seed is much heavier than other kinds of grass seed and will settle to the bottom in any mixture. If not carefully
remixed before sowing it will be patchy. We recommend sowing 10 lbs. mixed Clover seed per acre in the Spring while
the ground is honeycombed by frost.

Suburban Wild Garden Mixture
Our mixture of seeds for the Wild Garden has gained great favor, and has proved a marked success with a great
many of the amateur and professional gardeners by its particularly pleasing varieties, blooming so continuously through¬
out the Summer, and is composed of such varieties as will produce a most brilliant contrast of colors. To those who have
usually planned for fancy and decorative flower gardens and carefully planned borders, and w r ho know the volume of
time and labor required, to have the best possible effect produced, w r e feel justified in recommending for use the “Suburban
Wild Garden Mixture”; also to those who cannot give the required attention.
The beautiful results obtained from this mixture, and the little amount of time and labor required in the sowing of
same, make this Suburban Wild Garden one of the most desirable and at the same time least expensive flower gardens.
This mixture is especially adapted for w aste places, or rather corners and extra patches wdiere weeds seem to predomi¬
nate and nothing of value seems to find a place, and where the soil is moderately rich.
Suburban Wild Garden Mixture is composed of the best flowering annuals which are both for cut flower use and
bedding effects and contains at least over two hundred varieties.
One of the pleasing features of this mixture is the fact that as the season advances, something different seems to come
to bloom; something not looked for, indicating some later variety.

NEW DOUBLE FLOWERING
This new Snapdragon is something entirely out of
the ordinary.
The abnormal petals which are seen emerging
from the mouth-like aperture in the flowers between
the upper and lower lips give a double and beardlike
effect to the exceedingly large flower.
In about seventy per cent, of the seedlings this
phenomenon is more or less in evidence, the re¬
mainder producing extra sized and perfect flowers
as may be found in the other Grandiflorum varieties.

The Aster Triumph Comet has better qualities than the heretofore offered Upright Comet, both in
size and growth of plant, stem and perfection of bloom.
Aster Triumph Comet is similar to the Astermum but more satisfactory on account of its size,
length of stems and more full and double.

ASTER AUTUMN GLORY
Pure Sea-Shell Pink
A variety very similar in color to the
well known Semple’s Pink, with which
almost every Aster grower is well ac¬
quainted. The flower is better and more
substantial, and of deeper color, which is
retained while most of the other varie¬
ties of the same shade have a tendency
to fade. The plants are of larger and
stronger type and of true branching
habit.
It is particularly valuable in producing
exquisite flowers when the others are
depreciating. The blooms are very double
and the stems of unusual length.
Pkt. 25c., two pkts. 40c.
ASTER
WHITE PERFECTION
One of the finest white Asters for Mid¬
summer cultivation. The plants are ex¬

ten to twelve large flowers, usually
measuring 4 inches in diameter, and of
a fine form.
The flower, when first opened, is
strongly whorled, the petals being broad
and somewhat folded lengthwise, us¬
ually making them appear narrow; the
outer rows are straight, while the center
still retains the whorled effect.

Cardinal Climber
STRONG AND RAPID ANNUAL CLIMBER
A very strong and rapid climber, usually attaining a height of 20 feet
to 30 feet. This annual climber is a beautiful and brilliant vine, with
fern-like laciniated foliage, covered with an immense quantity of cardinal
red flowers, blooming from early Summer to late Fall.
The individual blooms, usually 1 to iy$ inches across, are produced
in clusters of five to seven each.
The Cardinal Climber belongs to the Morning Glory class, and is the
result of crossing Ipomcea quamoclit and Ipomoea coccinea.
It is not unlike Ipomoeas as to habits, for it delights in sunny location
and a good soil. Best results are obtained from seed sown outdoors after
weather becomes favorable. Germination may be hastened by cutting
or filing a hole in the outer shell, or soaking in warm water until they
begin to swell.
Seed may also be sown early in greenhouse and small plants trans¬
planted after danger from frost is past.

CELOSIA CHILDSII
Without doubt this new Celosia is the most magnificent garden annual
yet introduced. Its ease of culture and long continued blooming season,
(July until frost), together with its massive bunches of wool-like flowers
and glowing color, combine to make it the most odd as well as the showiest
novelty for the general flower garden.
Plants grow about three feet high, the bloom starting early with a
globular central head of immense size, while numerous branches are sent
out, each bearing a ball of scarlet wool, while each branch produces
many laterals which also develop excellent heads of bloom that last until
killed by frost and expand with a deepening richness of color to a deep
crimson scarlet.
Seed may be sown in open, after danger from frost, or sown in pots; may
be transplanted when ground is ready.

Delphinium
(Perennial Larkspur)
One of the finest perennials in use at
present time; very easily grown and re¬
quiring no protection in Winter. Leaves
are curiously cut; flowers borne on long,
erect stems forming into spikes 2 feet in
length. It is quite safe to state that no
perennial bed or border is complete without
them. Seeds sown in greenhouse in Febru¬
ary will produce plants which should bloom
the following Summer.
Plants for first season’s flowering can be
obtained.

Beautiful Deep Blue
A particularly fine new addition to the
already well known Delphiniums. The
flowers are quite double and of extra size,
showing a beautiful deep blue color, with
white center, producing an excellent con¬
trast. We have had the plants of this ex¬
cellent variety growing, and they have
been greatly admired by all who have seen
them. The flowers have been very shy in
producing seed, but during the past season
we have been quite successful in securing
a stock of seed.
A large percentage of seed comes true,
while the balance will undoubtedly produce
some very choice hybrids.

Lavatera Splendens
SUNSET
The Lavatera is one of the best of the beautiful
varieties of Mallow, and is of particularly easy
culture. Lavatera should be more generally
grown both for its graceful habits and its excel¬
lent cutting qualities. This new variety which
adds another distinct color to the varieties now
used, has proved very satisfactory.
The color is a very deep rose pink of charming
brightness. The habit of the plant is greatly im¬
proved, being more compact and attaining a
height of 2 a feet.
Very effective when used as cut flowers, and is
especially valuable on account of its lasting qual¬
ities. It is also greatly admired as a bedding

Lobelia, hybrida Sapphire
Lobelia, HYBRIDA SAPPHIRE
The increasing 1 demand for new varieties of plants
that will succeed well in window and piazza boxes, and
which are useful as trailers for hanging baskets and
vases, must naturally attract attention to such useful
and ornamental species as the Lobelia.
The accompanying illustration represents a new and
novel addition to this interesting family.
The blossoms of the Lobelia Sapphire are of extra size,
usually measuring % inch across, and are very thickly
set on the long, graceful sprays of foliage; these sprays
often attain a length of two feet. The flower in color
is of a deep sapphire blue (from whence it derives its
name) and in addition the large and well defined white
eye, which occupies about one-third of the corolla, makes
a very pleasing contrast and is quite effective.
The seed, if sown in September, should commence to
bloom about April in the greenhouse, and if sown dur¬
ing January the plants should flower during the latter
part of May or June and continue till late Autumn.
Pkt. 25c.
I A. One of the commonest of the

“ EXCELSIOR ”
Choicest Hybrids
The Oriental Poppies are always welcome in any
perennial bed, or even when grown by themselves.
They are probably one of the easiest perennials to grow
from seed, and the few fine varieties under cultivation
at present all tend to dark shades.
In this choice strain of new hybrids, a great many
new shades and colors are represented and are char¬
acterized in many of the delicate shades of pink and
salmon to deep crimson. These hybrids have been
selected from the choicest sorts obtainable from seed.

New White Oriental Poppy
Pure Satiny White, Crimson Blotch
Quite a new addition to the ordinary shades usually
found in Oriental Poppies. Offered for the first time
in 1916 and a variety very readily accepted. It is the
most distinct “break” recently made in this valuable
hardy Poppy. The color is a pure satiny white with
a bold crimson blotch at the base of each petal.
As most hybrids are liable to vary somewhat, this
one is perhaps no exception and though it may have
a tendency to do so, the greater portion may bo ex¬
pected to come true.

FLOWER SEEDS
SWEET PEAS
Sweet Peas
Culture .—Ordinary good garden soil is suitable for Sweet Peas. The ground should be well drained to avoid water
lying too long and becoming sour.
Soil prepared as for vegetables produces fair results, but a little more care will repay the planter. It is well to culti¬
vate and prepare the ground in the Fall, supplying at this time a good amount of stable manure and bonemeal.
Select for a location in your garden a place open and airy and which receives the sun all day.
Seed should be sown in trenches about 4 inches deep and covered to a depth of 2 inches, still allowing the center
of the trench to remain at least 2 inches below the level of the ground, that water may be retained.
In case of dry weather, constant watering is necessary to keep the roots cool.
When the vines are up about 6 inches high, staking with brush or trellis should be attended to at once. One ounce
of seed is sufficient to plant 20 feet of drill.
Australian Early Winter-Flowering
Spencers
The following varieties are direct from the originator:
YARRAWA. (Originator’s Strain). This world-famous
variety was the original Australian Early Flowering
Spencer Strain of Sweet Peas. It is of the largest size
and great substance, it bears three and sometimes four
flowers on splendid long stems and is most delicately
tinted, the standard being a deep rose-pink and the
wings soft blush-pink. Pkt. 25c.
CONCORD COUNTESS. A superbly beautiful variety
of a most attractive tint of pink—the ideal flower color.
The color graduates to a lighter tint at base of standard
and wings. The flowers are large, of true Spencer form,
and are carried mostly in threes on long stems. Pkt. 25c.
CONCORD XMAS PINK SHADES. A Spencer strain
of the old Xmas Pink coloring. It contains some slight
variations but it produces really superb blooms of very
showy coloring: rosy cerise standard, creamy white wings,
slightly tinted blush. Pkt. 25c.
CONCORD CHARM. The standard is white, tinted or
stained very light heliotrope; the wings are a lighter
tint, being almost white. A very captivating variety,
of the best Spencer form and largest size. Pkt. 25c.
CONCORD ROSE. Color is a rich deep glowing rose, of a
fine Spencer type. This new sort promises to be one
of the finest florist varieties of the Concord strain.
Pkt. 25c.

shade of pink, tinted lavender; a most fascinating color.
Blooms are large, nicely waved Spencer form; stems are
long and wiry. Pkt. 25c.

mauve and pink are magnificent blooms of best Spencer
form and as the two colors harmonize beautifully we
recommend this “blend” as very desirable in every way.
Pkt. 25c.
CONCORD CREAM AND PINK SHADES. Many de¬
lightful shades will be produced by this mixture, shades
which blend most harmoniously and are unsurpassed for
decorative purposes. They are all of a high standard of
size, form and substance. . Pkt. 25c.
IMPROVED METEOR. A semi-Spencer; form similar in
color to Scarlet Emperor, being a rich, dark scarlet.
Pkt. 25c.
CONCORD MAUVE SHADES. Contain a number of
exceedingly fine mauve and lavender tints, which have
not yet been selected out sufficiently to offer as distinct
varieties. The blooms are of the largest size and the
best Spencer form. Pkt. 25c.
CONCORD DELICATA. In color it is in the young
stage very lightly tinged with a sort of rosy heliotrope.
As the flower ages this gradually fades, leaving to full
flower almost a clear white. Pkt. 25c.
C^ERULEA. A glorious Sweet Pea of the most delightful
shades of delicate sky-blue, sometimes a little lighter.
The blooms are of good open form, three on a stem.
Pkt. 25c.
WHITE SWAN. A splendid white Sweet Pea, of largest
size, exquisite form and well carried, often four blooms
on a stem. Magnificent variety for garden or exhi¬

One of the most popular and most exten¬
sively used of all our hardy annuals. The
following list comprises a very choice strain
of large variety and of the most brilliant
colors. Requires but little attention; will
grow in any good garden soil. If sown in
gentle heat in March, will flower latter part
of June and continue until killed by frost.
Grandiflora Robusta Plenissima
(Giant Zinnia)
This mammoth strain has produced ex¬
cellent results to hundreds of customers who
have grown it with great success.
The plants are of exceedingly robust habit.
The flowers are borne on long, stiff stalks,
of a semi-globular form, are mostly very
double, and, together with their immense
size, produce a very marked effect.
The flowers, as the illustration will indicate,
measure from five to six inches across, this
being by no means unusual. Zinnias being
a very popular flower for bedding and old-
fashioned gardens, and also of special value
for cutting purposes, these new colors can¬
not but make a valued addition to our al¬
ready standard varieties. Per pkt. 15c.

Amaryllis Hippeastrum hybrldum
Amaryllis
The Amaryllis, one of the most beautiful of our tender or
greenhouse bulbs, is greatly admired though little grown.
Bulbs should be potted in the Autumn as soon as possible,
and allowed to root slowly. Their flower scape usually
appears about February, after which the foliage com¬
mences to show. They should be kept growing until Au¬
gust or September and then allowed to rest until flowering
time. Do not disturb the roots if repotting is needed.

In the past few years these have grown very rapidly in
popular favor for the decoration of the conservatory, green¬
house or window box; excellent for planting out of doors
when the ground has become warm and in partially shady
borders. Soil should be well enriched. These range in a
great variation of colors and beautifully marked leaf,
which can hardly be described.
We have these in many varieties which we offer in
dormant tubers. When ordered by the dozen we always
supply a variety of colors, giving the names at the same
time.

Fancy-Leaved Caladium
Lycoris Squamigera
or Amaryllis Hallii
A perfectly hardy Amari’llis, producing beautiful pink
flowers.
Lycoris Squamigera produces in early Spring attractive
green foliage which grows until July when it ripens off and
disappears, and one not familiar with its habits would
think the bulb had died, but about a month later, the
flower stalks spring from the ground to a height of 2 or 3
feet, developing an umbel of large and beautiful Lily¬
shaped flowers 3 to 4 inches across and from eight to twelve
in number, of a delicate lilac-pink shaded with clear blue.
As the bulb is perfectly hardy without any protection
it can be planted either in the Fall or Spring, but we con¬
sider Fall the best time, as the bulbs will have a chance to
get established before flowering time. Cover the
crown about 4 inches. Very useful for the
border or among shrubbery.
Each 30c., doz. $3.25.

A favorite tuberous-rooted climbing plant
with dense and beautiful shining foliage and of
very rapid growth, twining on strings to a great
height or forming garlands in many fanciful
forms. It will grow anywhere, but does best in
a warm, sheltered, sunny location. It is also a
very pretty plant for training around the win¬
dows in the house.
Each 10c., doz. $1.00, 100 $8.00.
Milla Biflora
One of the loveliest bulbous plants; most de¬
sirable on account of its immense, pure, waxy-
white flowers, which are borne in clusters of two
to three on a flower stalk, 12 to 18 inches high.
The petals are very thick and firm, and the
flowers will keep in water for a week after cut-
ting. A single bulb will produce as many as six
flower stalks. Unobtainable.

The most free blooming Tuberose in existence. Each
bulb produces only one flower spike; but the peculiar
feature is the making of new bulbs, as the original one
is blooming, which flower as soon as the old bulb lias
finished.
These bulbs may be planted out as early as the first of
May and as late as the middle of June, and flowering in
about eight weeks’ time, they continue until after the
first frost. The flower stalk is tall and stiff, usually bearing
six to twenty pure white blooms, having the same delightful
odor as the regular double variety.

GLADIOLI
GLADIOLI
In the following list of varieties we offer
only those which we have grown with
satisfactory results.
We devote a large piece of ground to the
trials of new varieties and those which we
catalogue, and during the flowering period
we have on exhibition, in our show win¬
dows, cut blooms to which we invite the
attention of the public, making an excel¬
lent opportunity for them to select the
colors and varieties most desirable.
It is needless to say that Gladioli at the
present time produce some of the finest
colors and most exquisite shades; especial¬
ly beautiful are the delicate contrasts of
the outer segments and the deep veining
and heavily colored blotches of the throat,
thus making the Gladiolus one of the most
attractive Summer-flowering bulbs. We
advise the planting of Gladioli during
May and June and should successive
plantings be made, flowers may be had
until October.
Gladioli thrive in almost any good gar¬
den soil; but if well prepared, by adding
stable manure, better results may be ob¬
tained.
Exposure to the sun is necessary at all
times. Bulbs may be planted in rows
either single or double, leaving about
4 inches between bulbs in drills 2 feet
apart; plant the bulbs 4 inches deep.
When mass effect is desired, bulbs should
be planted from G to 8 inches apart and
4 inches deep. This applies to planting
in beds, borders and among shrubbery.

Planting
Budded Roses have much stronger roots, and show by an
abrupt offset where the bud was inserted and the stock cut off.
When transplanted, this junction must be set 3 or 4 in. below
the surface of the ground. This favors the formation of new
roots from the budded or top portion and greatly lessens the
tendency of the roots to send up suckers, which must never
be permitted to grow. The roots must not be exposed to
frost nor allowed to become dry. The soil should be firmly
compressed about the roots, and most of the top should be cut
away before planting. If the soil and weather be dry, a good
soaking of water may be applied, and then shade the ground
and plants with mulching.
Pruning. This should be regulated by the habit of growth,
the weak shoots cut in closely, the strong left longer. Hybrid
Perpetual, grown to produce flowers for exhibition, require
close pruning before the middle of April, the weak shoots
being cut close back, and the strong ones to 5 or 6 eyes. If
less is cut away the number of blooms will be larger, but the
size of the flowers will be smaller.
Watering. In dry weather water is of much benefit.
When water is given, it should be in sufficient quantity to
reach the lower roots, and to prevent its quickly drying out.
A mulch on the surface is very useful.
For Winter protection, draw the soil 1 ft. high about the
plants, or even more, if convenient. Manure can be put on
for additional protection. It need not be rotted; green will
answer just as well, and can be covered under in the Spring.
Insect Pests and Fungous Diseases. The kind of spray
depends upon the particular insect or disease to be controlled.
There is no panacea. The preparations for blights and mil¬
dews must be used as preventives before they actually appear
and poisons ought to be applied while the leaf-eaters are
small and few in number. The young are more easily killed
than the old bugs. Plant lice can be killed by contact alone.

Dwarf Evergreens, “The year around bedding plants”
Evergreen Trees
The splendid advantages resulting from a judicious planting of evergreens are many, and no grounds are complete
without them. J hey aid materially in giving color to the landscape in 'Winter; are useful for making windbreaks and
hedges and for screening unsight ly objects from view. The dwarf varieties are used very extensively for foundation
plantings where their variety of foliage, shape and color gain their favor as an all the year plant.
The botanical names of Trees, Shrubs, etc., in this catalogue conform to the 1917 Official Code of Standardized Plant
Names, adopted and published bv the American Joint Committee on Horticultural Nomenclature and as first published
in Volume VI of Bailey s Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
ARBORVIT.SE. Thuya
The Arborvitm, many of which are of upright habit, do
not grow to great heights and are very appropriate for
small lawns as well as large areas. Being generally hardy
and of vigorous habit, they adapt themselves to varied soils.
Their neat appearance and soft fern-like foliage, make
them useful for grouping, bedding, and formal effects.
The tall growing varieties make a splendid background
for shrubbery and perennial plantings.

THE CALENDAR COLLECTION
12 varieties “A Plant for Every Month.’* $7.00.
Surely every garden should have something of interest throughout the twelve
months of the year, whether it be flower, berry, color of bark or foliage, for Nature
does offer something of interest during each of the different months.
In January, Berberis ilicifolia (Holly-leaved Berberis) a semi-evergreen, the
foliage of which closely resembles the favorite holly, changes its color to a bright red¬
dish green. The brilliant reel bark of the Cornus alba, in February, contrasted against
the snow of the passing Winter, reminds us of the vitality concealed within its dor¬
mant branches.
March, the first month of Spring, is always heralded by the bursting out of the
small, fur-like catkins along the branches of the Pussy Willow, and during the warm
days of April we welcome the bright yellow, star-like flowers of the Golden Bell. The
Garland flower, fragrant as the Arbutus with its dainty, pink blossoms, makes its
appearance in May, while in June, the month of garden flowers, nothing is more in¬
teresting than Lilac, villosa with its large panicles of fragrant pink flowers.
Hydrangea arborescens with its immense white flower, withstands the heat and
dryness of July and should enjoy a place of prominence in the garden, with the lilac-
colored flowers of the Butterfly Bush, which follow it in August.
The branches of the Desmodium are covered with red and violet blooms in Sep¬
tember and with the approach of frost and cold weather, the Fall Chrysanthemums
bring charm and cheer to the otherwise flowerless garden during October.
The flowering season past, we must turn to the berried plants and the Euonymus
alatus and Japanese Barberry offer in November and December their beautiful orange-
colored and scarlet fruits.

HINTS ON TRANSPLANTING
1. Do not allow roots to be exposed to the
sun, drying winds, or frost.
2. Prune, with a sharp clean cut, any
broken or injured roots.
3. Have the holes dug large enough to
admit all the roots without cramping.
4. Plant in fine loam, enriched with thor¬
oughly decomposed manure.
5. Do not allow any green unfermented
manure to come in contact with roots.
6. Spread out the roots in their natural
position, and work fine loam in among
them, making it firm and compact.
7. Do not. plant too deep. Let upper
roots be set an inch lower than before.
8. Remove all broken branches, and cut
back at least one half of the previous
year’8 growth of wood.
9. If the season lacks the usual rainfall,
water thoroughly twice a week.
10. After-culture! Keep soil in a good
degree of fertility. Mulching the trees
in Autumn with manure is beneficial.

to supply two leads of hose and four
nozzles. The plunger, plunger con¬
nection. gland valves, valve seats and strainer are of
solid bronze. All working parts are simple and so lo¬
cated that they can be easily removed and cleaned.
The air chamber is of steel and has a large capacity,
making it easy to maintain the pressure, and giving
smooth operation. The lever can be adjusted for a 3,
4 or 5-in. stroke, the adjustment being obtained by re¬
moving and replacing a single bolt. The agitator,
operated by the pump lever, is very effective.

The plunger is packed from the outside, so it is not necessary to take the entire pump apart to repack it. A wing agitator is used,
similar to that used with the Pomona. The pump is fitted for mounting on the end of the barrel only, where it is held in place by
an adjustable clamp which fits over the end of a stave. It is also anchored to the bottom of the barrel.

The yield and quality of vegetables rely upon continuous and rapid growth and it is neither economical
nor wise to depend on tlie natural fertility of the soil or merely the application of stable manure for profit¬
able crops. It has been demonstrated that Lettuce becomes bitter and tough, Radishes sharp and pungent,
Beets stringy and tasteless where a delay in growth occurs. The principles of success with a garden con¬
sist of careful preparation of the soil, a good application of high grade fertilizers and thorough cultivation.

If you want a thick, velvety lawn with a luxuri¬
ant growth of grass, or a garden where vegetables

stable manure and, best of all, it gives results. Use
10 lbs. for every 1,000 square feet of lawn and double
the quantity for gardens. It is good for flower

on plant food in the soil, unlocking what otherwise
would not be available. Limestone is not caustic and
may be used with safety at any season. 2,000 to 6,000

Increase Your Crops and Improve your Soil
Inoculate your Garden Peas, Beans, Sweet Peas, Alfalfa,
Clover and other Legumes with
The use of inoculants lias been thoroughly demonstrated to be beneficial
and profitable. Their use is rapidly becoming more general among practical
and progressive planters.
Legumes are the only plants that can assimilate nitrogen from the air as
part of their food, due to the presence of bacteria on their roots. Why not take
advantage of this feature and encourage them to build up, in the soil, the supply
of this most important fertilizing element?
Mulford Cultures contain pure, tested strains of active, nitrogen-fixing
bacteria for inoculating seeds of legumes, or soil. They can be used with little
trouble and at a small cost.
No special knowledge is necessary to the use of Mulford Cultures. Add
water to the bottle which is intentionally only about one-fourth filled, shake,
and dampen the seed with this mixture.
Inoculation does not apply to Corn.
It is necessary to get the proper kind of Culture for the particular kind of seed to be treated.
Mulford Cultures are prepared for:
Sweet Clover Alfalfa Vetch Garden Beans
Red Clover Cow Peas Sweet Peas Lima Beans
Alsike Clover Soy Beans Garden Peas and others

PRUNING AND ORCHARD SUPPLIES
Proper pruning is beneficial to fruit and ornamental trees, vines, shrubs,
etc., and a good pruner has ‘‘an eye” for the work. Practice makes per¬
fect, and good tools are a prime requisite. Your time and strength are too
valuable to expend with poor tools. Get the best, without regard to price,
and take care of them. Do not neglect to give the necessary care to your
plants. Our list gives suggestions for the work the year round.

GARDEN WITH IMAGE TOOLS
The care of a garden never loses its fascination when the tedious back-breaking seeding weeding and hoeing are eliminated by up-
to-date adjustable Iron Age tools. Being light and simple in construction women and children can use them with delight and satisfac¬
tion. There is a combination to meet every practical garden need. Market gardeners use them seeders, wheel hoes, fertilizer drills, etc.,
making possible accurate sowing, thorough cultivation in narrow rows where horses could not go and the quick application of fertilizers.
The tools shown here arc in reduced size merely to save space, but all are of uniform size. Ihey are practical tools, not toys.
or deep planting of seeds.
Price.
kitchen garden; plowing, covering, hoeing, raking and cultivating. J t£ average weight of this handy tool, fitted with
one working tool is but eight pounds, and therefore can be carried about the garden and used as readily as a common
hoc. Packed weight, 20 Tbs. Price.* 6 * 25
No. 301, “Iron Age” Double and Single Wheel Hoe. The change
from a Double to a Single Wheel Hoe is quickly made. It stirs the soil very
close to the plants without disturbing them in the least. After the plants
have outgrown the use of
the side hoes, or where it is
desired to practice deeper
cultivation, the cultivator
teeth are used. Plows may
also be applied for working
astride rows to turn the
soil to the plants and to
open furrows for manure
Strong and durable. Packed weight, 40 lbs.

No. 306, “Iron Age” Combined Double and Single Wheel Hoe, Hill and Drill
Seeder. Whether you garden for pleasure or profit, you need a thoroughly practical
Seeder, a Double W’heel and a Single Wheel Hoe. As a Hill and Drill Seeder it opens
the furrow, deposits the seed, covers it and rolls it all at one operation, either in drills
or hills. The Drill is operated with
great ease, is most accurate, durable
and satisfactory. The seed sowing
device is simple yet very effective.
The agitator is simply a revolving
brush of selected bristles, which
separates the seeds which may cling

With a bag of Conkey’s Buttermilk Starting Food on

buttermilk ready for your chicks. It contains pure
buttermilk, reduced to dry powdered form, with its valu¬

the little chick. Mixed with it is a combination cf clean
wholesome grains, a ration balanced just right for baby
chicks. It is the ideal baby chick food from every stand¬
point—the only baby chick food with buttermilk in it
because Conkey controls the patent for extracting the
great mass of water from the original buttermilk. You
pay for the actual buttermilk only, not for waste water.

alone when hens are confined in pens or small yards is not satisfactory. They

wasteful and unsatisfactory that green food has been more or less neglected.
It meets the needs of every poultryman. Made of strong, soft, fish-net twine.

off the floor so the fowls get exercise while they eat.

Disinfects and Paints at the Same Time -
Saving Labor, Money and Time
Carbola is two things in one—a paint
and a disinfectant. It is not a whitewash
or a kalsominc. It is a finely-powdered
mineral pigment, the same as used by
many paint makers, combined with a
germicide 20 times stronger than pure
carbolic acid — but neither poisonous nor
caustic. Carbola dries out a clear snow
white — not dark or colorless—so there is
no chance of missing any part of the sur¬
face under treatment. It stays white and
it has no disagreeable odor. Carbola
paints and disinfects at one operation , with
the same labor and in the same time required
to whitewash or disinfectant only.

The agricultural colleges and experimental stations throughout
the United States are almost a solid unit in their selection of the
Buckeye—which fact in itself is the highest tribute that could pos¬
sibly be paid to any agricultural device. The men in charge of
such institutions are invariably selected because of their wide
experience and expert knowledge—-and their opinions count for
something.
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 suc¬
cessful incubator is the machine that will hatch a chicken from
every hatchable ego —the vigorous kind of chicks that start to
grow the moment they are hatched, and continue to grow with¬
out forcing or doctoring.
That's the kind, of hatches the Buckeye produces.

The name “Buckeye” represents ‘ service — -/
and when we talk to you about Buckeye Incu¬
bators, we do not refer to the wood and metal
of which the machine is constructed, hut to the
“service” we guarantee the incubator to give.
Over four hundred thousand (400,000) satis¬

support of Buckeye superiority—little breeders,
big breeders, beginners, experts—breeders that
include every class from boys and girls with a

more—all uniting in the same verdict.
GUARANTEE
The Buckeye is guaranteed to hatch more chicks
and stronger chicks than any other incubator.
It is further guaranteed:
To require no artificial moisture. To operate
satisfactorily in any temperature down to freez¬
ing, and to require no attention to the regulator
from the time a hatch is started until it is
finished.
The perfect construction of all its mechanical ,
parts is also guaranteed, and any Incubator or
part thereof that does not fulfill our guarantee ^
in every particular, will be replaced without

They Hover at the Curtain
International Sanitary
Hover
The Sanitary Hover has come to be known as the “Perfect
Brooding Device.” In less than four years more than 40,000
Sanitary Hovers have been sold. The Sanitary Hover is warmest
at the curtain, which causes the chicks to distribute themselves
around the edge of the curtain, where they have plenty of room
and fresh air as well as warmth. There is no crowding of the
chicks to the center, with death to the weaker members. It is
portable—that is, it can be picked up and carried around with
ease and used anywhere. The lamp holder can be lifted out
through the top by a person standing up, which makes it un¬
necessary for the operator to go down on his knees in dust or
mud to tend his lamp. It'is metal throughout, and is, therefore,
vermin-proof, as well as fire-proof. The peep-hole is so placed
that the operator can see his lamp flame without even stooping.
The flame cannot be put out by an ordinary wind or rain, there
being no connection between the lamp chimney and the flues
for taking in fresh air and discharging gases. Price S18.00.
That’s why the chicks never crowd. The reflected
radiation from the lamp—together with the direct
radiation from the canopy overhead—produces those
same ideal conditions that we find in the “Standard”
coal burner. The chicks hover in circles—around the
outside edges—and each individual chick selects the
spot that is best suited to its comfort. Being warmest
at the curtain there is no incentive for the chicks to
seek the center, and, consequently, there is no in¬
clination to “crowd” or “pile.”

Our Baby Chick Department
Each year we sell thousands of baby chickens and experience has taught us that comparison of prices should
be a deciding factor when purchasing baby chickens. Weak, poorly hatched chicks are costly at any price.
Prom year to year we have used the greatest care in selecting our
breeders and we have already contracted with the best known pro¬
ducers of all breeds for thousands of each variety for the season of 1921.
Do not give baby chickens cold water to drink; don’t overfeed.
Either will start bowel troubles. Keep their backs warm and fowl
liberally so long as they keep active. We find the Conkey Butter¬
milk Starting Food one of the best feeds for young chicks, fed for
the first three weeks, then used with our Quality Chick Scratch
Feed, and makes sure of the best results.
We ship all chicks and eggs in a first-class condition and take a
receipt for the same. Owing to transportation conditions we cannot
guarantee a special time of delivery. Do not sign a receipt for dam-
, . aged goods unless receipt is so marked by Agent of Express Company.

Home Fruit
A clear, simple, practical and comprehensive volume for the amateur
who seeks to grow high quality fruits for home needs, whether to eat
out of hand as dessert, or put up in some culinary way.
The author is particularly well fitted to write this book, having been
reared in just such a fruit plantation, and in a village where for more
than half a century the leading hobby has been high quality fruit grow¬
ing for family use. With this standard of excellence he has united
the best modern methods of securing choice specimens—methods little
practised, or even unknown, in his boyhood days—Tillage, .Spraying,
Thinning, Fertilizing, Cover Cropping, preventing frost injuries. Low
Heading, Rational Pruning—each simple in itself and each conducive
to the production of an abundance of the best fruit.
Among the general topics discussed are:
Choosing Varieties
Buying Nursery Stock
Season to Plant
Preparation, Fertilization
and Management of
the Soil
Cover Cropping
Pruning
Thinning
Spraying

Storing
Commercial Plant Propagation
ALFRED C. HOTTES
Though the title might infer that this book was written exclusively for the professional, the fact of
the matter is that, having the endorsement of the practical propagator, the amateur, for that reason,
can rely all the more fully on its instructions. The amateur gardener is offered a book, through the
pages of which he may obtain not only full descriptions of just how plants are propagated, whether from
seeds, cuttings, layering or grafting, but as well learn through its numerous educational illustrates
just how the operation is performed.
Commercial Plant Propagation is one of the most interesting books ever written. No gardener,
whether private or amateur, having once tested its value, would be without it. To see a copy is to
become its immediate owner, for it tells clearly and concisely how to perform these most fascinating
operations of all garden work.
To ensure the i
fullest under¬
standing of the
many operations
described, there
are given 31 half¬
tones and 75
teaching line cuts
in the book.
Practically
every one of the
line cuts has been
drawn specially
for this work, and
the majority of
the halftone re¬
productions have
been securedfor
it. '

annoyance. To have a preconceived idea of the
scheme of your home grounds as an integral whole
