The most beautiful feature of a city home or country estate is a well-kept lawn. Beds of many-
hued flowers and stately trees embellish the surroundings, but it will be conceded that it is the rich,

velvety, green lawn which completes the pleasing picture.

In the luxuriant turf lies the whole secret,

HINTS ABOUT LAWNS—Their Formation and Care

The ground should be thoroughly drained, and if not naturally rich, fertilizers should be added before
sowing. For this purpose bone dust, crushed bone, or fertilizers containing bone and potash are the best.

Use four or five hundred pounds per acre,

For small plots, 10 pounds to about 400 square feet.

Work the soil by plowing or spading until thoroughly pulverized, being careful to leave the entire
surface as near alike as possible, that the grass may be even in its growth; finish by harrowing or rak-
Ball Bearing

ing until made fine, and finally level by use of heavy roller. We recommend Dunham’s

Lawn Rollers and carry them in stock.

Seeding may be done in spring or fall. If done
during the hot months of summer, the ground must
be kept moderately moist. With the ground pre-
pared as directed, let the surface be gone over
with a fine rake, and the seed evenly scattered,
after which carefully rake or brush the seed in
and follow with the roller. To secure the bhest
results use plenty of seed—about 75 pounds per
acre being the right quantity. One pound is suflii-
cient for 300 square feet.

Let the grass get a good start before cutting—
say a growth of 3 or 4 inches. When well rooted,
a lawn should be trimmed with a lawn mower
about once in ten days. No lawn can be main-
tained long in good order without successive roll-
ings, which work should be done in the spring
before the ground becomes dry. In very dry
weather a thorough wetting should be given about
once a week, a little water on a dry surface often
doing more harm than good. Old lawns can be
improved and renewed by the application of fer-
tilizers and seeding about one-half the quantity
for new lawns.

In addition to prices on Grass Seeds add 8e per Ib. if to be mailed.

“Perpetual Green” Lawn Mixture

A combination of various native and foreign
dwarf-growing, fine-leaved grasses, carefully bal-
anced and blended, with a view of producing a turf
that will retain its rich green color throughout the
entire season. This is our standard mixture that we
have sold for years to parks, cemeteries and large
private estates. Lb., 35c; 3 lbs. for $1; 10 lbs. for $3.
In larger quantities ask for special prices.

Choice Mixture

While cortaining fewer and less expensive
grasses than our “Perpetual Green,” this is a good,
well-balanced mixture which we do not hesitate to
recommend. Lb., 25c; 5 lbs. for $1.00.

Barnards “Special” Lawn Mixture

This mixture is composed of grasses selected
irrespective of cost as representing the best low-
growing, narrow-leaved varieties of fine texture and
color. In preparing this ‘Special’ mixture only
seeds of the highest grades and extra heavy weight
are employed. It costs more, but “it’s worth more.”
Seeded liberally upon good ground, well prepared,
a lawn of the very highest excellence will result.
Lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2

Terrace Mixture of Grasses

For seeding side hills, terraces, embankments,

deeply and bind the soil. When sowing, add to the
mixture about one-fifth part of oats, which holds
the soil together until the grasses have made a good

by trees or buildings. -Lb., 50c; 5 Ibs., $2.

Putting Green Mixture

This mixture is intended not only for putting -

greens, but for all lawns that are to be used as
pleasure grounds and necessarily requiring a fine,
dense turf—one capable of withstanding constant
wear.
several combinations of the best fine-leaved, low-
growing grasses, we selected those which, right-
fully proportioned together, produced just the re-
sults we were endeavoring to obtain. We have fur-
nished some of the best known golf clubs in the
vicinity “of Chicago with this mixture and it has
given splendid results. Price, per pound, 40c; 5 Ibs.
for $1.75. Special price on large quantities.

Mixture for Quick Effect

There is considerable demand for a grass seed
that will produce a quick-growing turf. For this
purpose we have prepared a mixture of a few
strong-germinating, vigorous-growing grasses,
Which will produce a turf of fair quality within a
few weeks after seeding. The grasses in this mix-
ture are mostly annuals or biennials, and such a
turf could be relied upon only for one or two sea-
sons. A permanent lawn could be secured, however,
“by re-seeding at any time with any of our other
mixtures, . Price, per pound, 20c.

New Introductions and Improved Strains of Popular Sorts

The vegetable seeds we offer in this and next pages embrace the old and new varieties that are known to
be of superior quality, and we heartily recommend them to our patrons, believing they will prove satisfactory.

Whenever we find a new or improved variety that is superior to what we already have, we endeavor to obtain the
seed as quickly as possible and offer it to our customers. Nothing but the best is good enough.

BEAN—Hodson’s Wax By reason of its sturdy, vigorous habit, freedom from rust and blight, in addition to great
productiveness, this is distinctly a market gardener’s bean. The pods are long and

straight, averaging 7 inches. Color, a clear light yellow; comes in just a little later than Davis’ Wax or Wardwell’s.
Pkt., 5c; pint, 20c; qt., 30c; pk., $1.40; bu., $5.50.

New Early Danish CABBAGE—‘“‘Copenhagen Market’’ COPENHAGEN
This new Cabbage is very heavy and solid, like the “Ball-head” type of ees
CABBAGE

Cabbage; makes a fine, large, globe-shaped head with well-developed outside
leaves, but is very much earlier in maturing than any of the Danish Cab-
bages, in fact as early as Early Jersey Wakefield, and will give a much
heavier yield per acre than that variety. It is short-stemmed, the
heads being produced almost on the ground. The leaves are tightly
folded around each other, which permits close setting of plants.
The heads mature all at the same time; they do not string
along all summer. It is without doubt the finest large, round-
head Cabbage in cultivation. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; %4lb., $1.50.

CAULIFLOWER—Barnard’s ‘‘Snowball’’

On account of its dwarf, compact habit and short
outer leaves this variety may be planted very close. Al-
most every plant will make a large head of pure white
color, and of the best quality.

The seed we offer is the product of the same reliable,
thorough grower who has supplied us for years. The
high standard to which this strain has been brought is
maintained.

Not only is this the best early variety, but it is superior
to all others for fall use. It has stood the test of time,
and stands unrivaled by any. Pkt., 20c; % oz., 75c;
OZ.55 2.0032 4x Ibi o7.50-

CUCUMBER Davis’ Perfect Excellent either for forcing or outdoor use. The fruits are long and slim; the
color a rich dark green, turning to white when ripe. <A splendid shipping cu-

cumber, also for slicing for the table. In quality it is tender, brittle, and of fine flavor. Being a vigorous grower, it is
better able to withstand blight than other large sorts. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; %4 lb., 30c; Ib., $1.00.

SWEET CORN, LONG ISLAND BEAUTY

SWEET CORN—“Long Island Beauty” A tall-growing, late Sweet Corn which was developed in the

famous Long Island trucking region. It proved of such merit
there that after a trial it was deemed to possess more than sufficient qualifications for introduction to our trade.

Long Island Beauty is the result of a cross between Stowell’s Evergreen and Late Mammoth, and possesses the good
qualities of both. The ears are of large size and have deep kernels. In quality it is very delicious, being both
sweet and tender. On account of its remaining green a considerable length of time, it is an excellent late variety for
the garden. It is particularly desirable for market because of the quality of the ear and the quantity of the yield, both
of which will recommend it to market gardeners in general. Pkt., 5c; pt., 20c; qt., 40c; pk., $1.75.

If to be mailed add 8c per lb. ; 8c pint, 15c quart to Beans; 10c quart to Corn

New Varieties and Specialties of Vegetable Seeds

LETTUCE—“‘May King”

A desirable large, early head Lettuce, suitable either for
growing under glass or in the open ground. Heads solid and
close; outside leaves slightly tinged brown, with beautiful
yellow heart; exceedingly appetizing and very tender. It is
of rapid growth and is ready for use much sooner than the
majority of other heading sorts. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 4%4lb., 30c;
Ib., $1.00.

MUSKMELON—Davis’ White Seeded

Skin dark

This fine new melon is quite distinct in shape.

green. Firm, deep, orange-colored flesh of delicious flavor.
Very prolific; a rampant grower; an excellent shipping
variety. A few days earlier than Osage. Pkt., 10c.

DAVIS’ WHITE-SEEDED MUSKMELON

cet in. 7 = The best all-around early, sweet, wrinkled pea.
PEA Goodwin's Prizewinner its peas only four days later than Alaska.

WATERMELON—“Tom Watson”

A large oblong variety of Watermelon which has met with
favor wherever grown, and is fast becoming a favorite with
both grower and consumer. It originated in Georgia, a State
noted for producing fine Watermelons, and this new variety
is a good example of what a first-class Watermelon should be.
The rind is thin, but tough, and the flesh a bright, attractive
red color, very solid and of a delicious, sweet and satisfying
flavor. Its appearance and quality strongly recommend it
both for home use and for market. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.;
Ylb., 30 cts.; lb., $1.00.

CNION—Barnard’s Yellow Globe

The onions from this strain of seed ripen early and all at
once. They are distinct and perfect in
shape, with very small necks; handsome,
bright color. The firm solid bulbs are
all that can be desired in size and quality.
Being excellent winter keepers, they are
sought in all onion markets. Pkt., 5c; oz.,
20c; Ylb., 60c; lb., $2.00.

RADISH—Sparkler

This excellent new variety of Radish is re-
markably attractive on account of its rich
markings. It is a red Radish, with beauti-
ful white tip, which extends much higher
than is usual in a Radish of this character,
and the upper portion is a brilliant red. It
grows rapidly, and is uniform in size and
shape, also very solid, crisp, and tender.
Pk Ses ozs) L0cs. 4 1b:,-20¢3. Ibs 60:

TOMATO—Early Detroit

A new early Tomato with skin of an at-
tractive purplish-pink color. The vine is
very vigorous, makes a much _ stronger
growth than most other early varieties, and
continues to bear throughout the entire
season. The Tomatoes are medium to large
in size and nearly round in shape, smooth

solid, and of excellent flavor. Pkt., 5c;

NEW POTATO

GARDEN
HUCKLEBERRY

At various times we
have been asked for this
but had little confidence
in its merits. From trials,
however, we can now
recommend it to our cus-
tomers. It belongs to the
Tomato family, and the
black fruit is non-edible,
but makes delicious pies,
preserves, and jam. Pkt.,

DWARF, BUSH or SNAP

In many localities the low-growing varieties are known
under different names. Under this classification we include
the best sorts selected after years of careful observation—
Bush, Bunch, Snap, String or Dwarf Beans.

About the first of May select a warm, dry, sheltered spot;
dig and manure slightly; make drills 2 inches deep and 18
inches to two feet apart; drop the beans 3 inches apart in
the drills, and cover not more than 2 inches deep. Hoe well
in dry weather to keep down the weeds. Sow every two
weeks for a succession until September.

1 qt. to 100 ft. of drill; 11% bu. to the acre in drills.

Varieties for Shelling

The largest return will result from planting in drills from
two to three feet apart and leaving the plants two to six
inches apart in the row. Up to the time of flowering they
should have frequent shallow cultivation, but any mutilation
of the roots by cultivation after the plants come into bloom
is likely to cause the blossoms to blast and so cut off the
crop. The cultivation of beans should always be very shallow.

POLE LIMA BEANS

Lima Beans are not only profitable as green shell beans.
but are also a paying crop to sell as dried beans during
winter. They are always in demand and bring good prices.

ground are warm; if planted earlier, the seeds are apt
to rot in the ground.

ing -andiquality or the green

UR CABBAGE SEED is grown under the care of practical, painstaking and reliable men; in localities
O where experience and thorough tests have proved the climate and soil to be the best adapted to their
production in highest perfection; from fully developed, perfect heads, carefully cured and stored until time
of planting; thoroughly tested as to vitality, our seeds can but give satisfaction, and we unhesitatingly recom-
mend it for the use of either market or private gardener.

All that Cabbage requires is the soil to be rich, deep, well-drained, and abundantly manured. For the early kinds, plant

30 inches between the rows and 16 inches between the plants. For the late kinds, three feet between the rows and two feet
between the plants. For very early use, sow in January or February, in hotbeds. Set out when the plants are strong enough
into other hotbeds, or set in cold-frames in March. Transplant when danger from frost is past to the open ground. For a
succession, sow in the open ground last of March or early in April. The late or winter crop seed can be sown in May and
the plants set out in July. An ounce of seed produces 1,500 plants; one-half pound to transplant ‘for an acre.

HOW TO DESTROY CABBAGE WORMS. Stvc Snot can be used lightly or heavily and the cabbage suffers no harm.
The cabbage forms its head by the interior growth; it throws off its earlier and outside leaves, and no dust can enfold within
its head. Apply Slug Shot with a duster, sieving it over the plants or full-grown cabbages. The powder is very fine and
goes a long way in field or garden. Not prepaid. 5 Ib. pkg., 30c; 10 Ibs., 50c; Tin Duster each 35c.

For Market or Home Garden

This is a vegetable deserving to be more generally
cultivated, both for use upon the table and for stock
feeding purposes. There is no more healthful root
crop.

For early, sow in spring as soon as ground can be worked,
in drills fifteen inches apart, covering one-half inch. For the
main crop, sow from the middle of May to the first of July.
Thin out in row from 5 to 6 inches apart. Hoe often and
deeply between the rows. Light, sandy loam, richly manured,
is the best soil.

delights in low, moist, rich bottom land, or well-drained muck-soil. It is usually grown as a second crop. The self-blanch-
ing Celeries are recommended for autumn and early winter use, as they do not keep so well as others.

Celery is sometimes grown by what is termed the new process, which consists in making a spot as rich as possible and
there setting the plants six to eight inches apart each way. If the soil is very rich and there is an abundance of water,
the plants will blanch each other and the product will be very white and handsome. E

One ounce of seed will produce 3,000 plants or more.

into light soil, one foot apart. When the leaves are eight to ten inches
long, tie the tops together to blanch the heart and remove the bitter
taste. Lift late in fall. with a ball of earth attached and place ciose
together in a frame or cellar. It makes a delicious salad for winter

There are two distinct classes of Lettuce—one forms heads like cabbage; the other merely produces
loose leaves. The so-called “Head Lettuce’ are those most generally cultivated, especially in the home gar-
den. All of them are of good flavor, solid, crisp, and tender. One ounce of seed will produce about 1,500 plants.

Sow the seed in hotbeds in February or March, and transplant into a sheltering border with a southern exposure.
For successive crops, sowings may be made in the open ground as early as the spring opens, and continuing until July.
Always thin. out well, or the plants will not be strong. When wanted as a cut salad, sow the seed thickly in rows or

broadcast.

od te Curled leaved varieties are recommended for cul:

This type does not form compact heads, but large masses of
curly, crisp leaves which are practically everbearing; the best

of this class are:

variety. Is earlier than the heading varieties. Forms a large,

Early in May, or when ground has become warm, plant 10 to 12 seeds one inch deep in each hill, afterwards thinning out
so that 3 or 4 plants remain. Pinch the vines when blossoming begins, to promote fruitfulness, and cultivate till the
vines cover the ground. To combat insect attacks, dust with ashes, lime, or road-dust. Use SLUG SHOT to kill them.

The varieties of melons listed here are all first-class, some being more suitable for one purpose and
some for another. Our seeds have been grown by careful specialists, and can be depended on to produce
good crops under favorable weather conditions. Melon seeds, like those of Cauliflower, are among those
in which quality should be considered first and the price afterwards. You can not afford to take any
risk with “cheap melon seed.” Recollections of quality remain long after the price is forgotten.

Watermelons delight in a light, sandy soil, fully exposed to the sun. Plant in hills 8 feet apart each way. Put eight
or ten seeds in each hill; when danger from insects is past, thin out to three plants.

One ounce of seed will make 20 or 30 hills; 4 pounds sufficient for am acre.

CHAMPIGNON Brut, Ger. MUSHROOM SP AWNgE:1xc DE CHAMPIGNON, Fr

This most delicious esculent, considered by most people a luxury, is more easily cultivated than im-
agined. Mushrooms may be grown in a great variety of situations—a dark room, cellar, stable, in sheds,
under greenhouse benches,— where the temperature can be maintained at fifty to sixty-five degrees.

One pound of English Mushroom Spawn is sufficient for six square feet of bed.

Mushroom Culture in Brief

Two or three weeks before the bed is to be made, collect
a quantity of horse manure, free from straw, and mix an
equal amount of loam from an old pasture with it. Place it
under cover, turning it over once or twice a week until the

- fiery heat has been’ exhausted.

When the manure is in condition to be made up, lay out
the bed, say three feet wide, ten feet long, and make the bed
in layers of about one foot deep; press it down firmly as the
process of building goes on. When the bed has been made
some time, say a week or thereabouts, and the heat is suff-
ciently declined to a temperature of about 65 or 75 degrees,
the spawn may be put into it. Break the spawn in pieces
two inches square, and put them six inches apart, all over
the bed, then cover the bed with two inches of rich soil, not
too wet or overdry. Cover the bed with a foot of dried
straw or hay; examine once a week to see if the manure is
not heated while in this condition; if so, it will destroy the
spawn, and necessitate spawning a second time. If everything
goes on well, you may expect Mushrooms in about five or

six weeks.

ONION SEED

Ocnon, Fr.

We pride ourselves in supplying the VERY BEST ONION SEEDS that can be produced

eA ARTICLE which is used in quantities proportionately large becomes an article of sharp competi-
tion, and this business rivalry naturally leads to strife to produce the commodity at lowest possible price.

This, in many things, is legitimate and desirable, but emphatically NOT SO in Onion Seed.

Nevertheless,

the effort to offer Onion Seed at low prices has the tendency to make the grower less careful in its produc-
tion, the result being seeds not of the high quality appreciated by experienced planters.

The Onion Seed we offer you is strictly Market Gardener’s Stock and is the product of bulbs critically examined
and specially selected for seed purposes on the merits of their shape and color.

The Onion is most successfully grown in a rich, sandy loam. Continued

cultivation upon the same plot of ground, contrary to the general rule,

rather improves the crop than otherwise.

As early as the ground can be worked in the spring, sow the seed

Rewritten, greatly enlarged, and brought up to

ONIONS, BARNARD’S SELECTED YELLOW GLOBE

Yellow Globe Danvers

GLOBE ONIONS are preferred by some growers to
those of any othe: shape. Such onions do not occupy any
more space in the row; their size and solidness make them
weigh out and measure more, and their attractive appearance
finds for them ready sale in nearly all markets,

Barnard’s Yellow Globe This is a superb onion

for all classes of soil
(well enriched) on account of its quick maturing qualities,
and especially good for muck lands. The onions from this
strain of seed ripen early and all at once. They are dis=
tinct and perfect in shape, with very small necks;
handsome, bright, even color. The firm solid bulbs are all
that can be desired in size and quality. Being excellent
winter Keepers, they are sought in all onion markets. Pkt.,
5c; oz., 20c; Y%lb., 60c; lb., $2.00.

SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE. A larger and heavier
onion than Yellow Globe Danvers. It has thin, yellow
skin, white flesh; is fine grained, mild flavored, and the
best of keepers. Reliable for bottoming and free from
scullions. It matures early; sells at the best prices. Pkt.,

AUSTRALIAN BROWN. Bulbs of this variety have been
kept in perfect condition the year around. The onions
are of medium size, somewhat flattened but deep through
and of a light reddish-brown color. They mature very
early, being two weeks earlier than Yellow Danvers. The
bulbs are firm, and ripen up hard and smooth with small
necks. The flavor is mild and sweet. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c;

Peppers are indispensable as a seasoning for soups and
meats. The large varieties are mainly used for the purpose,
and for pickling. The mild, sweet varieties, like Golden

Dawn and Ruby King, are used for mangoes, while the
small-fruited sorts are best for sauces.
Peppers are more tender than most vegetables. The seed

should be sown in a hotbed, cold frame, or if no other con-
venience, a box in the window, and transplanted about the
last of May. They can be sown in the open ground when the
weather becomes warm and settled. Warm, mellow soil, well
fertilized, should be used.

Essex, Ger GARDEN PEAS Pois, Fr.

Our Seed Peas are all grown in the north, and are

of the earliest and hardiest as well as the purest

strains. They are far superior to most of the Seed Peas sold. They may be expected to bring well-
filled pods, which cheap and carelessly grown seed will not do.
The number of Garden Peas is almost limitless. While new and improved sorts are constantly being brought out, a

great many of the others continue to be popular. It is Ww

orth while to make a trial of some of the new ones offered

here as well as the standard sorts on the page which follows this to determine upon the best for future use.

The smooth-seeded early sorts, such as Leader, Alaska,
and First and Best, can be sown while frost is yet in the
ground, while larger and sweeter peas sown at the same time
would rot. Sow some of the early, second early, and late
varieties at intervals of about two weeks apart, and your
table will be supplied with peas during the entire season.

If to be mailed, add 8c to pint and 15c per quart to
cover postage.

Dwarf growing Peas require very rich soil and need no
support of any kind; tall growing sorts should be trained to
wire trellises or supported by brush. Wrinkled peas (indi-
cated * thus) are the sweetest, and are recommended for the
home garden.

Figures preceding description of varieties indicate height.

wien Selected Seed Potatoes °v>

Any good well-drained, fibrous loam will produce Potatoes under right climatic conditions. For early Potatoes, which
mature 8 to 10 weeks from planting, the soil must be particularly rich. A rich clover sod, manured and broken the year
before and planted to corn, beans, peas, oats, etc., is in best shape for giving a good yield of nice clean Potatoes.

Culture. Potatoes are planted at various times—both early and late. Cut the tubers so there will be two to three eyes
to each piece. Plant in hills or rows about 3 feet apart and from 15 to 18 inches apart in the row. Spray the leaves of the
young plants with Arsenate of Lead or dust with Bug Death as a protection against blight and attacks of beetles.

Changing Seed. It pays to change Seed Potatoes occasionally, just as much so as Seed Oats. Advantages gained,
among other things, are increased vigor and productiveness—in some instances well-selected seed stock has doubled the crop on
the same quantity of land. Tubers grown from changed seed are smoother, of better appearance, and more salable on
the markets.

ALBINO

The skin and flesh are extremely white, of exceptionally good cooking quality and very prolific, fully as early as the old
Early Rose in maturing, and particularly valuable for the early market by reason of its fine shape and early maturity.
The vines grow erect and it is one of the best early varieties to withstand blight and disease. Plant this potato early in good
soil and give it good cultivation, and pleasing results are sure at harvest time. One grand thing in favor of this early
potato is its great keeping quality. Peck, $1.00; bu., $3.00.

POTATOES FOR GENERAL CROP.—Continued.

Snow

A Grand New
Maincrop Potato

It originated in Maine,
in which state our seed

stock was grown. Re-
peated trials in various

sections of the country
prove this to be a really
valuable and _ desirable
variety.

Snow is a white po-
tato, with a netted skin—
a sure sign of good eat-
ing quality. The market
wants just such a potato.
No progressive cultivator
of potatoes should fail to
give this excellent vari-
ety a trial this season.

On account of the large yields that have been reported of this potato, it is rightly entitled to be called the ‘Poor Man’s Friend.”
It is of handsome shape and most desirable for the best trade. It is a vigorous grower, ripens uniformly, is a good
keeper, and fast becoming one of the most popular medium late varieties. The vines are always very heavy, the seed be-
ing especially vigorous and tubers always good size where soil is well tilled. Our customers will find the Snow a very
reliable potato. We can furnish nice stock while the supply lasts. Lb., 40c; 3 lbs. for $1.00, postpaid. Pk., 75c; bu., $2.50.

advantage of machinery in tilling the soil; of fertilizers likely to increase his crops: of

Barnard’s Selected Farm Seeds

M OST important to all who depend for their living on the products of the soil is selected seed, that not only will ger-
minate, but are reliable. That is the kind we sell, Every seedtime the sales in this department show a large
increase over the previous year. We number among our patrons some of the most well-to-do farmers in the country, sev-
eral of whom annually entrust to us their entire orders for the seed grain as well as for the grass and clover seeds
required for their acres. We have built up a large trade in improved varieties of oats, corn, wheat, and other grain.

There’s a reason for the confidence our customers have in the seeds we supply—Quality. When this business was estab-
lished, Quality was taken as the watchword. We furnish the best that can be had anywhere. Pedigreed seed comes
higher than the ordinary, but the value to the planter of high-grade stocks is vastly greater. Our seed grain is grown
and specially prepared for planting purposes. It is carefully selected by experienced seedsmen, thoroughly cleaned, and handled
only by careful employees, as a safeguard against errors in filling orders.

Prices, unless stated otherwise to the contrary, include bags for shipping and delivery to depot in Chicago. Pur-
chaser is to pay freight or express charges. The prices named are NET, no discount, and are based on value existing when
this is written. We will maintain prices as far as possible, but they are subject to changes of the market and without notice,

HERE are many new, or so-called new, varieties of oats introduced each year. Many are old sorts renamed; others may

be justly classed as humbugs. That some kinds are improvements upon others, and pure seed better than mixed, no
one will deny. Those we list here are straight goods; you get just what the name and description call for.

years of selection is now thoroughly fixed. Straw stands
high; free from smut or blight. Heads six-rowed, large, and
long; kernels plump and heavy. An enormous yielder. As
easy to handle as oats and much more profitable. Has strong
and deep root formation, thus it reaches more available plant
food and moisture than any other known sort and rendering
it the greatest drouth-resister, most marvelous in health and
stooling qualities, and unapproached in its powers to stand up
perfect besides giving it many other important advantages not
here mentioned. In malting qualities it has no equal in its
class. Threshes easier than. other beardless barleys, yet it

pounds to the hog in five weeks. The best way to feed it is
to grind it and feed it dry. Prices: Lb., 20c; postpaid; pk.,

This barley possesses high malting and
Oderbrucker feeding qualities. It is similar to the

Manshury, and has the additional merit of being a heavy
yielder. In all sections where it has been tried it has super-
seded other barleys. We consider it the best of the six-
rowed barleys. Sow 2 bushels to acre. Wisconsin grown

Cahoon Seed Sower ;
clover seeds, etc., rapidly and

evenly. A person entirely unused to seeding can, by follow-
ing the simple directions sent with the machine, sow from
four to six acres an hour at a common walking gait. It
sows uniformly and saves four-fifths in labor by its use.
Every farmer should have one of these sowers. Price, $3.25.

This crop is receiving more attention in some parts of the country than formerly.
It has proved of inestimable value to every one who feeds stock, either alone
or mixed with other feed.

It also brings a fair price in market.

farmers find it a paying crop, the demand for Broom Corn
krush exceeding the supply. This evergreen variety grows
about 8 to 10 feet high, stands up well, and is entirely free

Buckwheat is not considered exhaustive to the coil. As a
smothering crop, where the land contains objectionable weeds,
it is very desirable, and it puts the soil in admirable condi-
tien for any crop that is desired to succeed it.

It can be sown so late as to prove a profitable second crop

MINNESOTA NO. 13. FOUR STALKS, EIGHT LARGE EARS

The stalks grow to a height of seven feet, and being leafy, make excellent and very nutritious fodder. 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 usually two on a stalk. No corn excels
in quality the Minnesota No. 13; the cobs are well filled and the individual kernels plump and of good color. Minnesota

SEED FIELD CORN —Continued

REID’S YELLOW DENT

The ear is of excellent shape, nearly
cylindrical, tapering gradually to tip,
length about 10 inches, kernels firm ’on

cob, 18 to 24 rows, with narrow space —

between rows, color medium yellow with
red cob. The ear is quite solid and
rather smooth; matures in about 105
days, and yields well.

IOWA GOLD MINE

This variety has everywhere received
the most cordial endorsement as one of
the best and most profitable varieties.
It is early, ripening in about 100 days,
ears of good size, color a bright golden
yellow; grain is very deep, cob small,
and therefore dries out very quickly as
soon as ripe. Seventy pounds of ear
corn will make about sixty pounds of
shelled corn; and in hauling to market
it weighs out considerable more to the
wagon load than common varieties.

LONGFELLOW

The Favorite with Dairymen

The most popular of all flint varie-
ties. It is a beautiful eight-rowed yel-
low flint, with slender, straight ears, 10
to 15 inches long. Kernels are large
and wide, and cob very small. Ripens
in 75 to 85 days, and very prolific.
Well adapted to the northern states and
largely grown in northern Wisconsin
and Minnesota.

WHITE FIELD CORN

IOWA SILVER MINE

Matures in about 100 days in the
Illinois corn belt, say south of Chicago.
The stalks grow to a height of 7 or 8
feet and set the ears about 3% to 4 feet
from the ground. -The ears measure
from 10 to 12 inches in length, and
often weigh 1% pounds. They are
uniform in size and shape, with:16-to 20
straight rows of deep, pure-white ker-
nels on a very small cob. Jt is the
heaviest yielder we know, having pro-
duced over 200 bushels to the acre.

CHAMPION WHITE PEARL

A pure-white early corn, maturing in
90 to 100 days. Very prolific; the grain
is long and wide, two of which will
span the cob. The cobs are unusually
small for the size of the corn, and are
almost all white. The ears are medium-
sized, 16-rowed, and can be planted
much thicker than a large corn and yet
bear full-sized ears. Makes splendid

PERENNIAL RYE

Awnless Brome Grass (Bromus inermis). Will stand long
droughts and produce heavy crops in dry sections where
other grasses would perish. It is one of the hardiest
grasses. Will succeed in a wider range of temperature
than any other grass.. Sow 35 to 40 lbs. to the acre.

Canada Blue Grass (Poa compressa). Used sometims as a
substitute for Kentucky Blue Grass in Lawn Grass M.-x-
tures, but not so desirable for that purpose either in color
or texture. Its merit is in the fact that it will grow on
almost any soil and under adverse climatic conditions where
other grasses would fail. Especially suited for thin, dry
soil.

Creeping Bent Grass (Agrostis Stolon’fera). Adapts itself
fairly well to most soils, but thrives best on low or moist
lands. On account ot its short, slender foliage, vigorous
root growth, and creeping habit, it produces a turf capable
of withstanding a great deal of wear, and should be in-
cluded in all Mixtures designed for pleasure grounds.

KY. BLUE GRASS

Meadow Fescue (unglhish Blue Grass; Festuca Pratensis).
An excellent pasture grass, early, nutritious, and thrives
well on all good soils. The long tender leaves are much
relished by cattle. It makes a very good quality of hay.
Flowers in June and July. Sow 40 lbs. to the acre.

Meadow Foxtail (Alopecuris Pratensis). One of the finest
varieties for permanent pastures, grows rapidly after the
cropping of sheep and cattle. It grows well on all soils ex-
cept the dryest sands and gravels, but thrives best on a

rich, moist, strong soil. Flowers in May. Sow 25 Ibs.
to the acre.
Orchard Grass (Cocksfoot; Dactylis Glomerata). One of the

most widely known of pasture grasses. Its properties are
earliness, rapid growth, and power to resist drought. Will
endure some shade. If cut when in flower, it makes first-
rate hay; ripe, it makes poor hay. Flowers about the same
time as Red Clover. Sow 24 lbs. to the acre.

Perennial Rye Grass (Lolium Perenne). Nutritious and
valuable; in most places not excelled by Blue Grass for

pasture. It thrives on almost all cultivated soils; starts
early and grows all summer. Flowers in June. 24 Ibs.
to the bushel. Sow 60 lbs. to the acre.

Perennial Sweet Vernal (Anthoxanthum Odoratum). Use-

ful as a mixture with other grasses on account of its early
growth. It emits an agreeable odor when cut for hay.
Sow 10 lbs. to the acre with other grasses.

Red Top (Agrostis Vulgaris). Thrives best on low lands,
where it cuts a good crop of rather light hay of fair
quality. Suitable for low pastures. Sow 2 bu. per acre;
14 lbs. to bushel. Useful for lawn or field.

Rhode Island Bent (Agrostis canina). A low-growing, fine-
leaved grass of good color. Useful in lawn mixtures.
Adapts itself to almost any soil, but thrives best on high
or sandy land.

Tall Fescue (Festuca Elatior). Produces large crops on
strong, heavy land. Grows naturally in shady woods, roots
deeply, and stands dry weather remarkably well. Sow 40

Grass Seed Mixtures for Hay and Pasture

‘These mixtures are specially blended with a view to secure the largest pussible yields. All the grasses
are permanent when once established. They will last indefinitely 1f occasionally top dressed.

LL AUTHORITIES agree that for Pasture and Hay, best results are obtained from the use of grass seeds

in species. The reasons are obvious. Jl irst—A number of species will insure a much denser growth than

the same kind of seeds of one or two species, and prove less exhausting to the soil, since they live to a large

extent on the same constituents. Second—Seasons that affect some grasses adversely are favorable to other sorts, so

that with a mixture failure is practically impossible, provided, of course, the seed is good. We take great pains

in selecting grass seeds in order to secure the highest germination, and mixtures are based on a full appreciation
of the requirements of the different soils for which they are intended.

This is composed of thoroughly recleaned grasses and clovers which mature evenly

Alfalfa or Lucerne

One of the most valuable forage plants. It will adapt it-
self to almost any land that will grow clover, but thrives
best on deep, well-drained soil. It may be cut several times -
during a season, and will yield more than any other like
crop. The hay is excellent in quality, relished by all
stock and of special value to the dairy farmer. Though a

wonderful cropper, it does not impoverish the soil, but ac-
tually adds to its fertility. A vigorous root-growth enables
it to withstand extreme drought, which often makes it a
desirable hillside crop. It has steadily come into favor and
is now extensively grown in nearly all the States. Every
farmer should not delay another season, but put in a trial
acreage this spring. We recommend spring seeding at the
rate of 20 lbs. to the acre. A well-prepared seed bed free
from weeds is essential for best results. Selected and thor-

make the best hay if cut in blossom and carefully cured.

When spring is so unfavorable that other crops
fail to grow, or when the season is so late and
wet that corn will not mature, then, there is
demand for Millet. It should, however, be sown
regularly every year, and not merely as a catch
crop.

GERMAN MILLET. This is one ofthe best
of the late forage crops. Can be planted as late
as July, and will produce from three to four
tons of hay per acre. For this purpose the crop
should be cut when in full bloom. Sow at the
rate of 35 lbs. per acre. Choice stock. Lb.,
10c; 10 lbs., 60c; 100 lbs., $3.50.

COMMON MILLET. Similar to above and
used for the same purpose. .Does not yield so
heavy, however, nor is the hay of as good quality.
Lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.00; 100 Ibs., $6.00.

HUNGARIAN MILLET, sometimes called Hun-
garian Grass. This variety is in good demand
as it will produce a crop earlier than any of the
other sorts. It can, therefore, be planted later.
The hay is also of excellent quality. Lb., 10c;
10 lbs., 60c; 100 Ibs., $3.50.

CURLED or CAT TAIL MILLET. Favorite
variety for the south where it yields immense
crops and can be cut several times a season.
Lb., 15c; 10 lIbs., $1.00; 100 lbs., $6.00.

JAPANESE MILLET. Especially valuable for
planting on low lands. It will make a growth
of 6 to 8 feet, affords an immense amount of
excellent fodder. It is quite distinct from the
other Millet. Should be seeded broadcast at the
rate of about 20 pounds to the acre. Can be
drilled in and cultivated, requiring when sown
in that way about 10 lbs. to the acre. Lb., 10c;
10 lbs., 70c; 100 Ilbs., $4.00. ;

SEED RYE

Sow at the rate of two bushels to the acre.

SPRING RYE. This is distinct from Win-
ter Rye. It does not stool out like that
variety,, but the straw is equally valuable.
Spring Rye is now largely sown in the Mid-
dle and Western States in place of oats.
It makes a good ‘“‘catch crop’ where winter

WINTER VETCH

VETCHES or TARES

These are grown very extensively in Europe for stock feed-
ing in the form of fodder, also for plowing under to furnish
humus in the soil. The Department of Agriculture estimates
the value of a plowed-under crop of Sand Vetch as equivalent

to putting into the ground $16 to $45 worth of
commercial fertilizers per acre.

SAND or WINTER VETCH (Vicia Villosa).

Rapidly coming into favor as a winter cover

crop, also desirable to plow under for green
manure, or can be pastured or cut for hay.
Being of the pea family, it restores nitrogen to
the soil and is therefore a crop that can be espe-
cially recommended for worn-out land. It will
adapt itself to almost any soil and will grow
vigorously on dry, sandy lands, under almost
any adverse condition of climate. As the name
implies, it is usually sown in the fall, broadcast,
at the rate of a bushel (60 lbs.) to the acre.
Sometimes sown with rye, 40 to 50 lbs. of Vetch
to about 30 lbs. of rye. If sown in the spring,
it will produce a crop which can be cut for hay
in mid-summer and second growth pastured after-
wards. Try this crop and be convinced of its
many merits. Choice quality seed, per pound,
20c; 100 lbs., $15.00.

SPRING VETCH (Vicia Sativa). Used for

Lb., 10c; 100 Ibs., $5.00.

SPRING WHEAT

BLUE STEM. A distinct variety from all other
Spring Wheats; green, has a beautiful blue bloom
on it. similar to the bloom on a grape, and
which_can be removed by passing the finger over
the stem. This bloom disappears as the wheat
ripens and the stem and straw assume a beauti-
ful golden-yellow hue, and entirely free from
rust... This variety has no beards and is espe-
cially adapted to the older wheat-growing sections
of the Northwest. The kernel is of the hard
variety, similar to the Red Fife; very productive;
one of the best Spring Wheats for milling. Lb.,

Tritoma uvaria grandiflora We have secured from a first-class grower a strain of seed of the well-
known Red Hot Poker Plant. If sown early, it is likely to produce
blooming plants the first year, and there is also a probability of a variety of colors in the seedlings. For
quick results we advise field-grown plants (see page 74), but there is some pleasure also in raising them
from seed. Tritomas are beautiful, hardy plants of easy culture. Pkt., 10c.

Zinnia, Giant Double A special strain of this ever-popular annual. Heretofore we have beer: able to

Aster, Crego

By careful selection and great
skill this fine strain of Asters, in-
troduced a. few years ago, has
been so greatly improved that they
bear scarcely any resemblance to
those of the early dissemination.

growth; well branched. The stems
are long and strong, supporting
graceful fluffy flowers 4 to
inches ‘across.

FOR many years we have given special attention to supply‘ng Flower Seeds for Florists. They are most critical buyers;
they must have the highest grade quality in seeds. Those we offer to you are of the same quality as we sell to
florists; the best to be obtained and that money can buy. Our assortment is very extensive and complete.

General Cultural Directions for Flower Seeds

OST flower seeds germinate well in a rather light sandy loam, exposed to the sun, while a few are benefited by partial

shade, and some do best with an element of clay finely mixed with the soil. Nearly all hardy seeds vegetate better
when planted in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked fairly easily and has become warm.

A general rule for ihe seed-bed is to have the soil rich, level, and worked very finely. Sow the seed evenly in the rows,
cover with the finest of soil, about three times the diameter of the seed, and press the soil firmly over the seed. The soil
should never become dry after the seeds have swelled, for if it does, they will be pretty sure to fail. For this reason it is
best to sow small seeds in shallow boxes 2 to 3 inches in depth, that the surface of.the soil may be kept properly moistened.

After the seeds are up, care must be taken to give them plenty of air and moisture, and yet not too much water, or
they will ‘‘damp-off’ (rot at the top of the ground). As soon as the second leaves are well out, the seedlings should be put
into pots or new boxes. When finally transplanted to the bed or border, water frequently until established.

Annuals grow, bloom, and die the first year from seed. As a guide for planting, they are marked for hardy, H.A.;
these will bear a hard frost. Half-hardy annuals, H. H. A.; these will bear but very little. Tender annuals, T. A., will bcar
no frost at all. Biennials—The hardy, half-hardy, and tender biennials require same treatment as annuals, and are marked
respectively, H. B., H. H. B., and T.B. Perennials, H. P., H.H.P., and T.P.

SUPERB ASTERS of Recent Introduction

For Well=-Known and Standard Varieties, see next Page

Asters are of easy culture. They-are in bloom when almost all other flowers have succumbed to frost,
hence are deservedly popular. The seed may be sown in the open ground after danger from frost is past.
Stronger plants and earlier flowers can be obtained by sowing in a light window, hotbed, or greenhouse.
They require rich, loamy soil, and in dry weather should be mulched with well-rotted manure to produce
large flowers, yet they will succeed admirably in most ordinary garden soil.

The seeds offered have been grown by the most expert cultivators and were saved from double flowers only.
2194. One of the most beautiful As-
Daybreak ters in existence. In color a
delicate shell pink. Of robust and graceful habit of
growth, producing its large flowers on long stems, making
it an excellent Aster for cut flowers. Grows erect, about
20 inches high, with numerous branches. Pkt., 10¢c.
2195. Purity. This Snow White Aster is similar to
Daybreak except-in color. Pkt., 10c. =

In several respects these differ from any other Asters.
The plants grow about 20 inches high and produce from
20 to 25 flowers, which are borne upon long, strong stems.

NASTURTIUM No other annual will produce such a lavish profusion for so long a
time with the same small outlay of time and labor. The maximum of

bloom is produced in thin soils, and never flags through the hottest weather. In soils too rich, leaves pre-

-dominate and the plants are apt to rot off in
wet weather, especially if standing too close.

PHLOX DRUMMONDII (Flame Flower) ,

The annual Phloxes are dazzling in effect, particularly so when sown in masses or ribbon beds. From
June until October they maintain an endless display of brilliant and varied colored flowers.

The colors range from _ purest
white to deepest blood-purple or
crimson. Seed may be sown in the

open ground any time after danger
from frost is past, or in the hot-bed
earlier, and transplanted. The seed-
lings should be set out about a foot
apart; if too thick, mildew attacks
them.

STAR PRIMULA

(Primula stellata)

3500. During recent years
this highly decorative Primula
has become one of the most
popular house and conservatory
plants, being extremely free

flower for a long time. The
Star Primula requires about
the same cultural treatment as
for Chinese Primrose. The cut
flowers remain fresh in water
for many days. Pkt., 25c.

The “Baby

Primrose’”’

An excellent pot plant for
the house, succeeding best in
a cool room. The tiny, rose-
“colored flowers are borne on
stems 10 to 12 inches high,
well above the foliage. The
young plants will produce
larger flowers if the early
formed ones are picked off.

HARDY PRIMROSES

These are perennials, flowering in
early spring following sowing the
seed. In our climate they require
protection in winter—a cold-frame
placed over them being preferable.
They like a cool place, alongside a
north wall where there is moisture.

SWEET PEAS —

Seeds should be sown as early as possible, in drills 6
inches deep. At the time of planting, cover with 1 inch of
soil only, and fill in the drill as the young plants grow, taking
care not to cover the top of the plants. A deep rich soil and
a sunny situation is best suited for their needs.

Bulbs and Bulbous Roots for Spring Planting

HERE is nothing in floriculture which, to the amateur, will be attended with as great satisfaction or give

as grand results as the cultivation of this class of flowering plants,

all summer.

inexpensive, and require scarcely any care.

Set out in early spring they bloom

No matter if planted solely to beautify the home grounds or cultivated by the small boy as
his first step to profitable floriculture, the returns will be equally gratifying.

They are of easiest culture, .

Most of these bulbs should be taken up before severe frost and

stored away in a frost-proof cellar, if possible in dry sand, to preserve for replanting the following spring.
Prices Given Below Include Prepayment by Mail or Express, Except Where Otherwise Noted.

AMARYLLIS

There are many species of Amaryllis, all produ-
cing large, drooping, lily-like flowers, varying in
color from richest crimson and scarlet to pure
white and striped with crimson or scarlet. Some
of the flowers measure from 6 to 9 inches across.

All of the varieties here listed are of the easiest
culture. They succeed best in turfy loam into
which well-decayed manure has been mixed. They
should be given water very sparingly until the
leaves appear. With a little care a constant suc-
cession of bloom may be had throughout the year.
Winter the bulbs in house or cellar. If in pots,

Hall’s Hardy Amaryllis

A rare bulbous plant, botanically known and widely adver-
tised as Lycoris Squamigera. It is useful to set out in
shrubby borders. Needs no special culture; perfectly hardy.

“In early spring the foliage appears in long, strap-like, light-
green leaves, which die away in July, to be succeeded late in
August by the wonderfully effective, soft pink flowers with
faint metallic tinges of lavender.”’ The flower stalks are two
feet high, and several flowers are borne upon each one.
Each, 35c; 3 for $1.00.

TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS

They are general favorites for bedding and pot culture.
The plants are literally covered with dazzling flowers of im-
mense size and make a most effective and beautiful display
if planted in beds on the lawn, 12 inches apart. Started in
the house during March and April, the first flowers will appeai
in June and increase with the season. Unstarted bulbs put
into the open ground in May or later, will give good results.
After blooming all summer, the bulbs may be taken up in
November, dried off and stored away in a cool place until
spring. We secured the strain of Tuberous-Rooted Begonias
we otter, from a celebrated Belgian grower, who has taken
the highest premiums wherever his collections were exhibited.

SELECT CANNAS

List of Choicest Varieties in Cultivation

We offer the dry tubers only, and make
shipment of them when danger from frost is
past. If the dry roots, when received, are not
at once planted either in pots or out-of-doors,
they may be hastened into growth by watering
and keeping in a warm place until the sprouts
have attained some length.

Cannas should be planted in good, rich gar-
den soil, mixed with old rotted stable manure.
Water sparingly at first after planting; when
growing freely, water very liberally. Plants
should be set eighteen inches apart each way,
and if more than one variety is used, be care-
ful to plant the taller growing ones in the
center and the dwarf ones around the edge,
if planted in beds.

6 Grand New Dahlias—All Tried and True

Owing to the vast strides made in this popular flower within the last two years, it is now the king of
all fall howers and meets with more approval every year. Nor is this difficult to understand considering
that Dahlias are easy to grow, commence to bloom in July and August, and are thereafter a mass of bloom
until cut down by frost. The cut flowers are much in demand for decorative purposes, meeting with ready

sale almost everywhere when put on the market.

in presenting the six grand sorts below, we have spared neither pains nor expense, and have not the least hesitation in
proclaiming them as the highest efficiency attained in Dahlias as yet. In offering these to our customers for the first time,
we have taken into consideration every quality that goes to make up a sterling sort, and can frankly say that not one is
missing from the entire collection.

Delice The finest dahlia introduced within the
last five years. At no time has any
dahlia created such a world-wide popularity as has
this sterling sort, within the last year. In color
it is a beautiful shade of rosy pink, suffused with
a lavender pink. The flowers are medium size, of
the most perfect decorative form, and are produced
in the utmost profusion on long stems held well
above the foliage. This variety should appeal to
every lover of flowers on account of its delicate
color: strong roots. Each, 35c.

Kaiserin Augusta Victoria 4?°ther

sterling
decorative sort that has created quite a sensation.
The color is a clear ivory white, without a shade
or blemish; the flowers are large, of perfect form
with immense broad, flat, petals of graceful curves.
One of the many features of this grand sort is its
early blooming qualities, which have heretofore
been unknown in any dahlia. Each, 30c.

Cocatoo Another pleasing addition to the
fancy cactus plant. In this variety
we have the most unusual combinations of colors
imaginable.. The color of the flower when true is
lemon yellow, shaded rose, with pure white center
petals. Sometimes the flowers are all yellow and
other times all white, and again a combination of
both. We know of no other variety that will give
as much satisfaction as will this one, and must be
seen to be appreciated. Strong roots, 30c each.

Master Carl (The king of cactus dahlias.)

In this grand variety we have
all that can be wanted: its-color is a pleasing shade
of bright amber, which combined with its other
good qualities, make it unsurpassable for exhibi-

tion or garden purposes. Unlike most other cactus dahlias, CACTUS DAHLIA, MASTER CARL

Selected Standard Show Cactus and Decorative Dahlias

To the growing of Dahlias both for cut flowers and tubers, we devote a large acreage at our nursery.
Each year we try out a number of new varieties and from them select the most desirable. For 1912 we are
offering for the first time a set of Six Grand New Dahlias, (see opposite page), which we are confident
will be greatly appreciated.

The selection below comprises the cream of our stock and includes such as we have in good supply. If
you do not find here what you desire in Dahlias, write us as we have a number of other choice sorts, but in
too limited quantity to specify them. We send dormant, divided roots as soon as weather will permit, up
to about the latter end of May.

The principal requirements of the Dahlia are a sunny location, liberally manured soil, plenty of room, and the surface
kept light by hoeing or cultivating. While they are easily cared for, first-class results are obtained only by generous treat-
ment. Those who love flowers and care for them in earnest will find that there is no plant which is more responsive to
stimulation by feeding with pulverized sheep manure than the Dahlia.

Hardy Roses— Hybrid Perpetual and Everblooming

More than two hundred varieties of Hybrid Perpetual Roses are listed by one of the largest nurseries in
the United States, and the number is constantly being increased. Many well-known favorite Roses of this
class safely endure the winter south of Philadelphia, but are not sufficiently hardy for the western and north-
western latitudes. We have selected a few that are among the best and most hardy.

Roses should be planted in the spring just as soon as the ground can be worked, and carefully handled,
as they are plants that need attention when planted. Select a good sunny location where the soil is well
drained, and should the soil be heavy or clayey, some sand should be put with it. A good plan is to take
out the soil from 18 inches deep to 2 feet, and in the bottom place from 10 to 12 inches of well-rotted cow
manure and sod, then place the black earth that was taken out, on top of this.

In planting Dormant Roses (nearly all of which are grafted plants) care should be taken to have the budded part set
two or three inches below the surface of the ground, and the soil pressed firmly about the stem. Dormant plants produce
better flowers and make stronger plants than those grown from cuttings. Plant fifteen to eighteen inches apart.

Before winter sets in the bushes should be covered, and the best method is to dig a small trench close to the plant, by
setting a spade 6 to 8 inches back of the plant and pushing it into the ground about 10 inches, cutting off the roots, then
push the plant bodily into the trench and cover same with building paper three or four thicknesses, using earth to hold it
in place. a

The plants offered herein are field-grown and dormant. They can be planted as soon as frost is out of the ground.
They are large and bulky, and not to be compared with small plants out of pots. From their size, we can send them only
by express or freight. The purchaser pays the transportation charges. Having no soil on the roots and being dormant,
they can be sent at low cost by express. :

Early placed orders are advantageous to
you and materially aid us. Please order
earlier than April 15th, before the plants
leaf out.

Hybrid Perpetual Roses

These are the June Roses, so admirably
suited for gardens. They are of easy culture
and luxuriate in a deep, rich soil. They are bene-
fited by mulching of leaves or strawy manure
placed around the roots in fall. In May and June
these Hardy Garden Roses are brilliant with
large, perfumed flowers of richest color. Many
of those offered in the list below give occasional
flowers through the summer and again in au-
tumn. Supplied during spring months.

Old Favorite Climbing Roses

Baltimore Belle. Literally a sheet of fragrant, pale-blush,
blooming in early summer. An old favorite.

Hardy Rambler Roses

Crimson Rambler. As a climbing or running rose it has
no equal. The foliage is rich, dark green; the growth rapid
and diverse, but its great beauty is when the plant is cov-
ered with a profusion of the brightest crimson, partly
double flowers which remain on a long time.

Yellow Rambler. Flowers medium size, cup-shaped, nearly
full, sweet-scented; blooms in large clusters; color very
light yellow.

White Rambler. Flowers are the size of a silver quarter,
perfectly filled, very fragrant; color pure white, sometimes
tinged with blush.

Pink Rambler. Like the white, this resembles the yellow,
excepting as to color.

Because of its trailing habit
and hardiness, this rose is much used in cemeteries for

covering graves. Foliage is shiny green, insect proof;

even in winter the plant is almost constantly clothed in

green. Flowers pure white with yellow stamens.

We wish here to direct attention to another fine Rose for
the cemetery—Madame Plantier. Blooms once a year, in
June; pure white fragrant flowers.

bush, 4 to 5 feet high, covered with large, dark-green, glossy
foliage, crowned with terminal clusters of ten to twenty flow-
ers, each three inches in diameter. Perfectly hardy. <A
valuable plant for the hardy border or shrubberies, its large,
handsome, scarlet fruits being very ornamental all through
the autumn and early winter months. It also makes a splen-
did hedge, its foliage being impervious to the attacks of
insects of all kinds. 18 inches to 2 feet, each 35c; 2 to 3
feet, each 50c.

HARDY MOSS ROSES

“The charm of a Moss Rose is the bud.”

Crested Moss. One of the most beautiful Roses. The open
flowers are very bright and of the most delicious fragrance.
Color, a rich glossy pink, tinged crimson; large and globu-
lar. The buds are covered with beautiful green moss.

Blanche Moreau. Pure white, sometimes shaded with rosy
blush; full and perfect in form.

PLANTING ORNAMENTAL TREES

The following suggestions from the pen of an expert hor-
ticulturist and clever writer are worthy of careful study:

“Plant same as fruit trees, except that larger holes should
be dug to accommodate the roots. The ground should be
pressed down firmly over the roots with the foot. Two-thirds
of the tops should be cut off on all ornamental trees, except
Cut-leaved Birch and Horse Chestnuts, which should not be
headed in.

“Care should be taken to prune the tops so that the trees
will make a well-balanced, uniform top. The forming of the
crown is regulated entirely by the pruning. On-some kinds
of trees it may be necessary to tie the tree to a strong stake
to hold it firmly in its place. Wrap the trunks of Maples
with building paper, four or five feet from the ground up,
to keep out borers. Irrigate in dry seasons,” ee

The No. 3 driving wheel is steel, with heavy forged steel
spokes, not “piano wire,” of proper height, with broad face,
making the tool light and easy running, even with the hopper
filled to the brim.

The special force feed is admirable, working equally well
whether sowing with an ounce or a full hopper.

The hill dropping is simple and reliable; making hills
either 4, 6, 8, 12, or 24 inches apart.

Price, $13.00

ea J 2 TSS

This combined machine is intended for a class of gardeners
who have a large enough acreage in crops for a Double Wheel
Hoe to be used to good advantage, and yet prefer not to buy
a separate wheel hoe. It is large enough for field use, for it
holds 2% quarts.

As a drill it is almost identical with No. 4 Drill; will sow
in drills or hills 4, 6; 8, 12 or 24 inches apart, and has the
same automatic device for throwing out of gear and the new
combined cut-off and seed index with screw adjustment.

Preeti tLe saasdiffesiss® ~ sone

Probably no other teniewatns machine is so widely known
as the “Planet Jr.’’ Combined Horse Hoe and Cultivator,
for it is in use throughout the civilized world. It is so
strongly built as to withstand incredible strain, yet it is
light and easy to handle.

The Frame is extra long and extra high, making a tool
that will not clog easily.

The Stiff Steel Standards are hollow with round throats;
they polish quickly and free themselves readily from obstruc-
tions, and they clasp the frame and strengthen it.

levers regulate both width and depth while in motion; it

For Permanent Planting In Borders or Beds

A FIELD OF PAEONIES AT OUR NURSERY

HARDY PERENNIALS

Those who do not cultivate the sturdy, hardy plants
have little conception of the great pleasure to be derived
therefrom. A well arranged plant border, even a very
small one, on a city lot, will produce from April to October
a constant succession of beautiful flowers not only use Zul
for garden adornment but for cut flower purposes as well,

Perennials are perfectly hardy in the open ground,
and die down only to the roots at the approach of cold
weather. Once planted, they become a lasting pleasure.
They succeed
admirably upon all sorts of soil and in any situation that
is not too greatly shaded.

The collections we offer below will make it possible
for our customers to secure some of the best perennials
at very moderate prices.
