OUR grandmother planted a garden. :
Perhaps she planted where many summers had yielded their bounty, perhaps the land
was claimed from the prairie or the wilderness and virgin soil turned for the sowing. Who
of us does not retain with childhood’s visions the beloved memory of some enchanted acre
with its protecting inclosure of hedge or hewn pickets guarding the treasure within, treasure
of primly-regular beds for the early vegetables, of long, clean rows for the midsummer
gatherings, of background of slow maturing kinds for the autumn harvest, beds of fragrant
Herbs, patches of Sweet Corn, rank growing Bean-vines with yard-long fruit, cool growing
Melons, Pumpkins, yellowing with future promise.

Your grandmother planted her garden primarily as an economic measure, but her labor
was not all given to utilitarian ends. Out of the crowded hours of her days she found time to tend
her “Pineys’ with loving hands, to thin out the sprouts from her ““Laylocks,’’to tie up her old-time climbing
Roses, to trim her “Spargrass.’ Around her enclosure she set borders of tall Larkspurs, luxuriant
Hardy Phlox, quaint stiff Dahlias, stately Sunflowers, and carpeted the earth at their feet with
odorous Grass Pinks, Hen-and-Chickens, bright-faced Johnny-Jump-Ups, Periwinkle, and all the
gorgeous army of quick blooming annuals.

You may have inherited that plot of soil mellowed by years of care, endeared by the memory of workers long free
of toil, endowed with the benediction of many bountiful harvests, or you may be a pioneer with only a city A
back yard, but whatever your opportunity, the spirit of your grandmother's garden should be an inspiration and #
an incentive to delve in the earth.

Much has been said to the public of late years for gardening, the daily papers, trade journals, maga-

zines, lecturers, andeven the public schools have co-operated to create and stimulate a desire for the
simple and satisfying pleasures of planting and watching the ever amazing miracle of growing things.

Vaughan’'s Seed Store offers you all the facilities for engaging in this delightful pursuit. WAUGHAN'’S
SEEDS have stood for Sterling Quality from the time your grandmother gardened. We have given
forty years to the careful selection of varieties, to elimination of doubtful sources of supply and strains
of unproven worth, to perfecting highest possible mechanical purity product. VWVAUGHAN’S SEEDS
have thereby acquired a reputation of unqualified merit. We offer you this product =
therefore “on honor,’ without exaggerated or high sounding descriptions or promises.

VAUGHAN’'S GARDENING ILLUSTRATED, in the FOUR GREAT DEPART-
MENTS mentioned below, covers fully the needs of every branch of planting, whether for
the experienced or amateur gardener.

Since the outbreak of the war in Europe all American importers have experienced great
and increasing difficulties in securing fancy strains of flower and vegetable seeds such as have
been grown and harvested in former years in the belligerent countries. During the two
harvest periods that have passed since the beginning of the war we have had our own represen-
tative in France, Holland and England, and through his efforts there and by mail facilities we

FROM U.S. GOVERNMENT

A HINT TO THE WISE

Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., Bulletin 494

“Tn procuring seed.for a lawn too great care cannot be exercised. Pure seed
of high germination is of great importance in securing a good stand of grass.

“Pure Seed is the keynote to a clean lawn, provided the work of preparing
the land has been efficiently done.

“Thorough preparation involves not merely the mechanical treatment of the
soil to reduce it to a proper seed bed, but the use of weed-free manure and the
adoption of a course of treatment previous to preparing for the lawn, which
shall serve to eradicate weeds. Such preparation coupled with pure seed,
should give a satisfactory stand of grass which should need only the usual care
necessary to maintain a lawn after it is once established.”’

IMPORTANT TO GOLFERS

The best turf grasses for golf links are produced in Europe; the war in progress
there has interrupted the importation of these seeds; we sent and still have there
a special buyer, who has kept the channel open for shipments to us, while the
war goes on.

Golf clubs will find it to their advancage to get the the latest prices from us,
for these grasses.

Our advice service is at your disposal free of charge; we welcome your inquiries.

VAUGHAN’S LAWN FERTILIZER

t=
i

The high-grade fertilizer sold by Vaughan’s Seed Store is immeasurably
superior to the best rotted manure. It supplies the essential plant food, which,
grass, being a voracious feeder, requires to produce the velvety texture and
beautiful color, so attractive and inviting to the eye. Manure has undoubtedly
the soil enriching quality, but it also has the serious objections of being un-
sightly, and has an offensive odor, but worst of all, it contains many weed
seeds.

Vaughan’s excellent Lawn Fertilizer does your work better and eliminates
a lot of your weed troubles. .

DIRECTIONS: Make first application in early Spring, when frost is out
of the ground, distribute evenly 25 lbs. fertilizer to every 1,000 square feet of
lawn. In seeding down new lawn, scatter double the amount, 50 lbs. of fer-
tilizer on every 1,000 square feet; rake in thoroughly, then sow seed.

Price, 5 lbs. 35c; 10 Ibs. 55c; 25 Ibs. $1.10; 50 Ibs. $1.90; 100 lbs. $3.25;
200 Ibs. $6.00; 500 Ibs. 13.00; 1,000 Ibs. $24.00; 2,000 Ibs. $46.00.

HARDWOOD ASHES This is also a splendid fertilizer for the lawn

and garden, containing all of the fertilizing

elements except nitrogen. If used on the lawn at the rate of a ton or more

per acre asa first application, and annual dressing of three hundred pounds after-

wards, will insure a thrifty growth of dark color, exemption from ill effects of
dry weather and freedom from weeds. _

Price, 25 lbs. 50c; 50 Ibs. 85c; 100 Ibs. $1.50; 500 Ibs. $5.00; 1,000 Ibs.

$9.25; ton $18.00. L a

VAUGHAN’S “CHICAGO PARKS’’

Quantities to Use—see opposite page

Vaughan’s “‘Chicago Parks” Lawn Seed is familarly known every-
where in the United States where lawns are made.

It produces a beautiful and enduring turf; and does so in the
quickest time possible, with endurance considered, without the aid
of paeae “quick showing” grasses, which are only of temporary
value.

After many years’ trials we have a balanced mixture of American

_ and such Huropean grasses as do best in our climates. We select
the finest samples of evident purity and germination.

For a third of a century it has been standard in America, each
year adding to its popularity and increased sales.

The great parks and beautiful cemeteries, where best results
must be had in producing beautiful and enduring grass, Vaughan’s
“Chicago Parks” is used almost exclusively.

Many of the show places in New England, Long Island, New
Jersey and throughout the ‘Middle West,’ Vaughan’s ‘Chicago
Parks” has produced those places of beauty.

Vaughan’s “Chicago Parks” lawn grass seed is thoroughly cleaned
then re-cleaned, this applies to all the separate kinds of seed con-
tained in the mixture, and each lot tested for germination, in the
most paistaking and careful manner.

On the following pages we list new varieties of vegetables we
consider of merit, and also some particularly good or improved
strains of standard sorts. In our opinion a fine stock of a
standard much planted vegetable is, as a general proposition,
worth far more to the average planter than most of the novelties,
unfixed and untried, foisted with alluring cuts and blatant
descriptions on a trusting public. Our novelties are all sorts
which we have given a thorough trial on our own grounds, and

BEANS PURE BRED

Our Bush Beans are grown under our direct supervision or on
our own farms in Central Michigan. We have been improving our
stock for the past nine years and asa result of this work we are
able to offer our customers strains of beans we know to be right.
The superiority of our stocks of Beans is based on the following points.

Trueness to Type. Every field is carefully cleared of ‘‘off”’
plants, chance mixture in threshing eliminated by supervision; we
are “line breeding.” Vigor—our seed is selected to be as free from
blight-or atithyactiese as possible, on account of this one point alone
we were this. yeas tragically the only garden bean growers in the
United States who hati a fair crop. Sample—we put more expense
on cleaning and picking beans than does any other firm.

Stock Seed. The value of careful and scientific seed

VAluétang) breeding nowhere shows to more advantage than in

Saye) growing cabbage. A small amount of seed produces

enough plants for the setting out of a large acreage. The

seed cost thus is of minor importance, in view of the relative values
of good seed and crop.

See photo. Note the poles marking stock seed heads.

Some years ago we made arrangements with a celebrated Danish
Cabbage Seed Grower to raise for us a quantity of Stock Seed of the —
Dutch Winter or Hollander (Short Stem). For a certain price he
agreed to rogue or cull his seed cababges until each plant was just
like another—in other words, to grow for usin quantity just sucha
quality of seed as he, as a grower, would use for stock seed. 3
Needless to say, this strain is now being grown exclusively for
Vaughan’s Seed Store. (See p. 22.)

COPENHAGEN MARKET

A new early cabbage, our customers should not overlook. The
earliest large round or flat-headed sort. The ripening is early and
uniform, maturing at one time and almost with Harly Jersey Wake- _
field (oblong head). Considering its early season, the heads are
remarkably large, averaging ten pounds in weight. One of its
chief features is compactness; its leaves, which are light green, are
round, dish-shaped and fold tightly together in remarkably com-
pact and solid form; it is so solid that many more plants canbe
grown on an acre than is possible with most sorts. Ithasfewouter —_
leaves, which permits close planting, and it grows close to the ground
onashort stem. The entire crop can be harvested at one time and
thus clear the field for other crops. In quality itis exceptionally _
good; earliness, ripening at one time, compact growth, large heads
and high quality are features which have made this cabbage a
standard in three years’ time. A trade holder and a high money
maker for the market gardener. Introducer’s stock. Pkt., 10c;

CABBAGE

Pe-Tsai, Improved Chinese
Cabbage. An extensive demand
for the seed of this Cabbage has
developed in the two years it has
been on the market. Its appear-
ance is attractive, resembling a
Cos lettuce in shape, it is easily
grown and does well in nearly all
parts of the country. Planting
time is July (turnip planting time)
early plantings run quickly to seed. Sow
in drills 16 to 20 inches apart, thin seed-
lings out two or three times. This
vegetable may be used as salad, it is mild
flavored and can be eaten raw, but boiled
and minced with butter and seasoned, is
very delectable. Pkt., 10c; 14 oz., 25c;

CHICAGO GIANT SELF-BLANCHING CELERY

A boon to market gardeners, a delight to eclery eaters; its
superior qualities have made it famous; the demand for it makes it
profitable for growers. It is Extra Early White; can be sown in
February and marketed July 1st, a time of the year when fine celery
is a table luxury. It is the whitest early celery; it is very sweet,
crisp, tender, brittle, with a delicious flavor, giving zest to every
bite. Itis extremly vigorous in growth, to the extent that its ten-
dency is to throw out a small percentage of off plants. We spare
no expense to keep it uniform. Pkt., 10c; 14 oz., 20c; oz., 35c.

MALAKOFF SWEET CORN The great sweet corn for northern country; in the northern states and

Canada where the season calls for quick maturing this is the best of all

other sweet corn. In flavor it has no equal, and its popularity because of quality shows it merits the attention it has
received. Itisa dwarf growing corn, rarely exceeding 4 feet in height; the stalks usually average 2 ears each, which are
small, slender, 12 rowed, white cob ears. The kernels are shallow and sweet. We have specialized in this variety.
Our stock seed has been carefully re-selected and the crop harvested on our Michigan Farm.

Grown in that latitude insures an extra early strain—and the care we give ensures the very utmost in excellence of quality.
Malakoff ,under most conditions is the earliest good quality sweet corn. Pkt., 10c; pt. (about 10 ozs.), 15c; qt. (about 20 ozs.),
30c; 2 qts., 50c; 4 qts., 85c; peck., $1.50; bu., $5.75.

But there are other reasons why Bantam Evergreen is superior
to all other early sweet corns—It is just the right size of cob,
containing the rich, jucy, extra tender, extra sweet, fine meaty
kernels which give delight and satisfaction to the one who eats it.
It holds its quality longer after picking than any other variety we
know—this is one of the greatest advances in sweet corn in years.
It makes easier selling and more money for the market gardener
and fancy grocery trade, because of its splendid merchantable size,
fine appearance and superior quality; breeders in New England—
“the home of sugar corn’—pronounce it the ‘‘sweetest corn they
ever eat.” Our stock now runs better than 85% true to type.

EARLY IOWA SWEET CORN

This is a Vaughan Special, which in
middle-west conditions produces the
earliest sweet corn of marketable
size. It isa week earlier than Red or White Cory.

The continuous effort to produce something
better, in sweet corn has given us early Iowa.

The stalks are short, with little foliage and
usually have 2 ears to a stalk; the ears contain a
cob of 8 rows of fine, tender, sweet, juicy corn,
that makes eating a delight. Early Iowa is a
combination of size and earliness in sweet corn to
constitute a desirable product for any home or
market garden—the stock we sell is grown on
our own farm in Michigan. Pkt., 10c; pt., (about

GOLDEN CREAM SWEET CORN
VNIGHNG 2 os a aes ee ene
SPE av) Golden Bantam and Country Gentlemen
combined—this is a late sweet corn

-posessing the quality of ‘‘Golden Bantam” in
conjunction with Country Gentleman. The kernels
being long and slender, and the ears somewhat
larger than either of the parent stocks, gives a
better and more marketable sized sweet corn than
either of the parent stocks themselves. For
succession in the home garden; ‘‘Golden Cream,”’
“Bantam Evergreen” and ‘“‘Golden Bantam’’ may
1 be planted together; the result will be successive
treats of choice delectable sweet corn delight.

As introducers of ‘‘Osage,’? ‘‘Paul Rose’? and ‘‘Hoodoo’’
Muskmelons, we alwayshave and do maintain the highest
quality seed of these strains. : ;
OSAGE—Vaughan’s selected stock—Grown especially for us
in the best growing section of Michigan, where this melon is at
its best. Pkt., 10c; 4‘ 0z., 15c; oz., 25c; 14 Ib., 75c; lb., $2.60.

than Osage. Pkt., 10; 0z., 25c; 2 ozs., 40c; 14 lb., 75c; Ib., $2.60.

This is everywhere: a better melon than the Netted Gem (or

Rocky Ford). It is the triumph of the grower in breeding for
these points—uniform size, closeness of netting, roundness of form,
tough rind, blight resistance.

Quality—The flesh <is_of.fine grain (not stringy) and of the

sweetest flavor. KQOODOO melons from Michigan points bring

the highest prices on the Chicago market, in’ competition with the
whole United States.

Size and Shape—The size of HOODOO is just right (about
the same as Rocky Ford) so that it may be served cut in halves.
In shape somewhat more round than the Rocky Ford Gem, a fine
feature in packing for shipment.

We offer re-selected stocks, grown especially for Vaughan’s Seed
Store, of the following exceptionally valuable lettuces,

For prices see pages 32 and 33.

GRAND RAPIDS—An extra early uniform selection, excellent
for forcing and open ground.

BIG BOSTON—The very finest type of this popular early, head
lettuce; many southern planters plant only Vaughan’s selected
Big Boston. ~ d ae

ALL SEASONS—As introducers of this, we always maintain ©
the best strain on the market.

NEW LETTUCES

BLACK SEEDED BIG BOSTON—An improved shipping
strain of the Big Boston. Leaves are slightly smaller; sometimes
heads harder, does not rot as quickly in cold, rainy weather. This
lettuce is in great demand in large southern lettuce sections.

Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; 14 Ib., 50c; Ib., $1.75. é

WAYAHEAD—Very early head lettuce, in season about time
of ‘‘May King.” It is larger than May King, and its color is more
attractive. The head is of fine golden yellow, and the outer leaves
a beautiful light-green; for an early variety it is slow to run to
seed. Pkt., 10c; 44 0z., 15c; oz., 25c; 4 lb., 65c; Ib., $2.00.

ENDIVE, BATAVIAN AUTUMN GIANT

Known as Escarolle in the south. This is the largest in size and
finest quality, of any strain of Batavian salad yet offered. It is
truly gigantic, its large full heart blanches easily by the ordinary ~
method of tying the outside leaves. Ideal for early fall use; but
does not stand severe frosts. Pkt., 10c; oz. , 30c.

VAUGHAN’S ONION SEEDS OF SPECIAL MERIT

Our well known strains of “Globe Onions ”’ “Southport Yellow Globe,” “Red
Globe,’”’ ‘““AppleShaped Red Globe,”’ ““Ohio Globe” and others, stand in a class
by themselves, which for excellence of quality, few come near in competition.

They areraised in the Fast and middle West where types can best be maintained,
and mixtures prevented, ensures keeping quality. Amongst middle West
planters of market globe onions, Vaughan’s Strains are standard.

There is a regretable shortage of both Eastern and Western onion seed
this year. We planted an extra large acerage to take care of our fast increasing
trade, but we regret to say we shall be far short of supplying our customers
regzular demands. We must, therefore, reserve the right to limit sales to
customers only.

ae :

Flesh and Color—The flesh is of deep orange color and
extremely thick, there being only a small seed cavity.

As a Shipper—The netting is ideal, heavy and close; the melon
solid and heavy and firm at the blossom end. It is absolutely
without a superior in shipping to distant markets.

Prolific—A wonderfully prolific melon, which nearly
always, even under unfavorable conditions, produces
a fine quality melon quite early in the season. It also
withstands blight much better than other varieties.

The Newest and Best GARDEN PEAS

VAUGHAN’S TOP O’ THE MORN (New)

To improve upon existing varieties of Culinary Peas is not an easy matter. Our Mr.
J. C. Vaughan, on his European tour in 1913, observed a new pea in the trial grounds of
one of the leading experts which was so remarkable for its size, quality and earliness that
he immediately purchased the stock. Sa

This new variety we have named “Top 0’ The Morn” and we think it outstrips all early
dwarf wrinkled varieties for the home garden. In appearance it resembles the “Little
Marvel,” the pods being similarly blunt-ended but much longer, and as they are produced.
in pairs and clusters all up the haulm the total increased yield is considerable.

We foresee a great future for this Pea. It
is certainly a variety ideally adapted to the
needs of the home gardener. Does not require
staking—vines attain the height of 18 inches
—foliage of a deep green color. Peas firmly
packed in big pods and of an exquisite flavor.
Pkt., 15c; 1% pint, 20c (postpaid); pt.
(about 1 lb.), 35c; qt. (about 2 lbs.), 60c.
14 pk. $2.00.

LAXTON’S SUPERB
Semi-Wrinkled

The most important Market Garden Pea
introduction since Gradus. The originators,
Laxton Bros., of England, consider it second
to none of the many peas they have raised.
The pods, which are large and_ slightly
curved are twice the size of the Pilot (smooth
seeded grade) and can be gathered at almost
the same time. This variety possesses a very
robust constitution and can be safely sown
earlier than wrinkled sorts without danger
of the seed rotting in the ground. The
market gardener can plant this dwarf pea
between other crops like tomatoes, thus
producing two crops at the same time on the
same land.

On account of its heavy yielding capacity
and size of pods, Laxton’s Superb is sure to
become one of the standard varieties. Every
gardener should know this pea. Price,
Pkt., 15c; pt. (about 1 Ib.) 25c; qt. (about
2 Ibs.) 50c;14 pk., $1.75; pk., $3.50.

PIONEER—“‘Giant Podded Dwarf’’

The second introduction in the Giant Podded Dwarf Class—of about the
same general usefulness as Laxtonian. In some sections this pea has done better
than Laxtonian, while in others Laxtonian is in greater favor—pods as large
as Gradus; almost if not quite as early. The peas are large and of superb
flavor. Price, Pkt., 10c; pt. (about 1 Ib.) 25c; qt. (about 2 Ibs.) 45c; 4 qts.,
$1.40; peck, $2.75; bu., $10.00.

LAXTONIAN—The New Dwarf Gradus

The tall, extra early, Gradus pea, with its large telephone-like pods and its
exquisite flavored peas is one of the most popular of all peas. In Laxtonian we
have a dwarf type of the Gradus with the same large pods—almost the same
in season and, moreover, requiring no supports—and the same superlative
quality peas. This new Dwarf Pea is the largest podded of all the early
dwarf peas and requires no supports of any kind. Laxtonian almost makes
for itself a new class of garden peas—Giant Podded Early Dwarfs.

This new pea ripens in season a few days later than the first earlies, the pods

; areas large as Telephone and well filled with eight to ten large and delicious
peas. We were the first American firm to offer Laxtonian and our seed has been
rown in America the past few years under our direct supervision. The American
Seed is far more vigorous and productive than English Stock. Pkt., 10c; pt.
(about 1 Ib.) 25c; qt. (about 2 Ibs.) 45c;4 qts., $1.40; pk., $2.75; bu., $10.00.

LITTLE MARVEL—Dwarf

The most satisfactory pea in the average home garden. It is dwarf—needs no support; it is
early; it is hardy—stands grief far better than most kinds—it is productive; it remains in con-
dition a week longer than other similar sorts; and its luscious, sugary peas are of the finest
flavor and best quality. There is no doubt but that Little Marvel will supplant both American
Wonder and Nott’s Excelsior, as it is more productive and lasts longer. Grows fifteen to
eighteen inches high—season the same as American Wonder and Nott’s Excelsior—dark green
pods, well filled. Price, Pkt.,10c;pt. (about 1 Ib.) 20c; qt. (about 2 Ibs.) 40c; 14 pk., 1.10;
peck, $2.10; bu., $8.00.

VAUGHAN’S SWEET MARKET

An excellent main crop Pea. It’s season follows right after the Extra Harlies and continues LITTLE MARVEL
to bear much longer than most varieties. Very prolific and of fine quality. Height 2% feet,
strong vigorous vines, many bearing as high as fifty pods, Pods 3% inches long, filled with 7 to 9 peas, An ideal variety for
hotels and institutions requiring a maximum return of shelled peas of fine quality. Price, Pkt, 10c; pt, (about 1 lb.) 20c; qt.

VAUGHAN’S XXX PARSLEY

This is the handsomest of all

EARLY PEPPER,
CRIMSON GIANT

An especially desirable sort
for the Central States as it
matures the earliest of all the
large red sweet peppers. In
habit the plant grows two and
one half feet high and bearsa
large number of fruits. The
peppers are large, run eyen in
both size and shape. The color is deep green when young and a
rich red when ripe, flesh thick, sweet and very mild. Pkt. 10c;
V4 oz. 25c; oz. 45c; 14 Ib. $1.50; Ib. $4.50.

PEPPER, SMALL PIEMENTO

There are several types of Pimento pepper. We
offer the early smaller sortsometimes called tomato
shaped. The flesh is extremely thick and very
mild. This variety is quite early whereas the
larger Pimento peppers are ripened with difficulty
in the latitude of Chicago or New York.

Pkt. 10c; % oz. 20c; oz. 35c.

RADISH, GIANT BUTTER
The Best Quality Red Radish

This is by far the largest of the early turnip,
forcing radishes, exceeding in size even the Crimson
Giant or Wurzburger. By careful selection, Giant
Butter has been bred true to type so that there is
almost no deviation from its fine round shape. In
color it is vivid scarlet. A most desirable green-
house or hot bed variety for forcing—the tops are
extremely short and the tap root is small. The
quality is unexcelled, tender, crisp and does not
become hollow or pithy. Pkt.,10c; oz., 15c;
YY Ib., 40c; Ib., $1.25.

SPINACH, VAUGHAN’S GIANT

RADISH, VAUGHAN’S
OLIVE CRYSTAL

This variety belongs to the Sum-

name May Radishes. Vaughan’s
“Olive Crystal’ is the sweetest of
all summer Radishes. Our illust-
ration shows the type well; note the
smoothness and clearness of skin,
giving it a great advantage in
beauty over such summer sorts as
Stuttgart and Strassburg. Outside
of its looks Olive Crystal has quality;
the flesh is as sweet as a nut, entirely
without the sharpness so often
found objectionable in varieties of
the same class. In shape it is that
of an olive and the size of a walnut.
An added feature is that it may be
planted early without running to
seed. Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 15c;

in season, having the remarkable feature of bearing uniform, large, handsome, smooth
fruits through the long season, yielding in the aggregate even more marketable tomatoes
than the Standard and popular Beauty, which variety it most closely resembles.
fruits are-almost globe shaped, firm, and ship as well as any variety we know.

Both the amateur and the market gardener will be interested in this new sort. It ripens

supplant by-and-by the common old varieties of Bellis.
The disadvantage of the quick opening of the flowers,
which is notorious with the Mammoth Daisies, disap-
pears almost completely in the Bellis perennis monstrosa
ranunculiflora. The petals, turned inwardly, keep the
doubling to the last. The stalks are more slender than
the Mammoth Daisies. A pure white.................

Bells furnish us a most wonderful array of color in the
daintiest shades of the most delicate form. The airy
bell shaped blossoms fairly cover the pyramidal bushes.
This early flowering strain blooms three weeks earlier
than the older sorts which prolongs the season of bloom.

4015 CARDINAL CLIMBER © § 25 ft. This glorious and
absolutely distinct new annual climber is undoubtedly
the greatest acquisition to the flower world in years, and
the most beautiful and brilliant climber ever grown.
It is a strong and rapid grower, attaining a height of
twenty-five feet with beautiful fern-like laciniated
foliage and literally covered with a blaze of fiery cardinal
red flowers from midsummer to frost. The flowers are
about 1 inch in diameter and are borne in clusters five
to seven blooms each. Like all Ipomoeas it delights in
a warm, sunny situation and good, rich soil. The seed
should be soaked in water a few hours before sowing and
not planted outside until about May first. Pkt. 25 seeds.

4017 THE CHINESE WOOLFLOWER ©). Plants grow two to
three feet high, the bloom starting early with a central
head, round and globular, which often reaches the
immense size of two feet in circumference. Szores of
branches are thrown out, each’ bearing a ball of scarlet
wool. All these branches support numerous laterals with
small heads of bloom mixed with fresh green foliage, so
that a plant looks ike an immense bouquet splendidly
arranged and set in the ground. None of the blooms
fade in any way until hit by frost; but all continue to
expand and glow with a deepening richness of color, a

many years, we of the Northern States have had to be
satisfied with the ordinary early flowering Cosmos, whose
flower was small and imferior compared to the late
flowering varieties, which were taken by “Jack Frost”
ere the blossoms appeared. A few seasons ago we discoy-

New Spencer Varieties

3961 Fiery Cross. Has all the appearance of live fire, the color being a |
scorching fire-red, or scarlet, without any shading and which scintillates and
glitters in bright sunlight, thus adding a glowing, fire-like sheen which
radiates over the flower. Unlike most of the orange-scarlet varieties, it does
not scorch or burn even during extended periods of intense sunshine, there-
fcre it can be grown in all soils without shading. The beautifully waved
and fluted flowers are borne freely in threes and fours, well placed on long |
stout stems. Pkt. 10 Seeds, 25c.

scarlet: wings rosy salmon: most decorative, strong grower, good size and
form. Pkt. 10 Seeds, 25c.

termed a glowing scarlet self. The flowersare of the largest size, carried on
strong stiff stems, usually in fcurs, always beautifully waved even when well
expanded, and most harmoniously placed. Pkt. 10 Seeds, 25c.

ambition to continually make some new additions in all our departments,

descriptions for our customers to experiment with—we first give each a fair trial
whether it be a vegetable, a flower, a garden implement or an insecticide, and if
we considerit an improvement on existing varieties,and as in the case of a flower,
has some new and attractive qualities, then we list 1t with the fuil confidence of
offering something that will do justice to itself, and to our name.
The plants offered on this page are in particulars as described, quite

1915 SEED CROPS In general we may say that vege-
table seeds are the shortest for many
_years. Not only are the European seeds extremely short, but on ac-
_ count of shortage in labor, poor harvest conditions, ignorance of green
help, they are behind their usual high standard, both as regards me-
chanical quality and selection to type. The presence of our representa-
tive in Europe since last June has put us in a position where we are
perhaps better able to furnish our usual supply of such seeds than any
other American firm. In America we have had far from a normal sea-

MOST RUST PROOF

_ The photograph above illustrates the attractiveness of this grand
“erass.’’ We think no other variety now on the market equals it. Bon-
vallet’s Giant is equally good, grown white or green. The white grass
is produced by planting deeper than for the green sort, the stalks being
cut underneath as the tips show above the ground. Bonvallet’s Giant is
now planted by the market growers in the Middle West to the exclusion
of almost all others on account of its extreme vigor and rust resistance.
Usually it produces a crop a year in advance of other sorts. Moreover,

the cutting period is longer than other sorts, as stalk-crowns do not
divide until quite tall.

This variety is a selection made by a veteran French grower from a
healthy, vigorous plant which had resisted the blight of rusts which
had destroyed the balance of a large field of Argenteuil Asparagus. Our
strain has been improved each year by careful reselection.

The 1915 Bean crop is the shortest on record. Following last
year’s very short crop, many sorts are practically out of the market
this year. Anthracnose (rust), blight, frost and wet weather all
combined to ruin the season’s output. Hundreds of acres were aban-
doned and many others did not return the seed planted. As growers,
we have been selecting our seed stocks for years to keep them as
free as possible from Anthracnose (rust) and this year we are re-
warded with a fair crop on nearly all varieties, where other growers

to retain the fine qualities of the original ““Early Flat Egyptian”
from which this has been bred and add uniform shape and greater
thickness.

It is very early; has deep red color; is smooth, tender; has
sweet flesh, highly palatable. It has to be grown with the greatest
care to retain earliness. Its size and fine appearance enable mar-

VAUGHAN’S FIRE BALL

Are you gardening for profit or pleasure? In either case this
beet will give you most satisfactory results. It has no superior
and in some respects no equal; market gardeners who cater to
particular people and fancy trade find this a winner. It is early
maturing with “Crosby’s Egyptian,’ of fine globe shape, rich
deep red color, and the flesh is solid and very sweet. The tops

worked soil. Seed—four pounds
to the acre.

THE EUROPEAN CARROT CROP on which a
are usually dependent for many of our betterstrains
is very short.

VAUGHAN’S SELECT DANVERS. a ilps ee
The greatest proof of the popularity of this strain is found Fee Fi :

in the fact that, whenever we have been able to supply the
demands made upon us for seed, it has been planted to the
exclusion of almost all other sorts.

This has been the situation for more than twenty years.
Our strain is widely known and planted, and has continued to’
grow in popular favor year after year. The reason for this
increasing popularity is due to its uniform, combined excel-
lencies, rather than to one specially good point, as is the case
with some other sorts. While some varieties of carrots attract
attention because of extreme sweetness, color or other quality,
Vaughan’s Selected Danvers, without being extreme in any, pos-
sesses all to a singularly high degree of perfection.

Then the yield is greater per acre than any other sort, and
it is a marketable crop. The size, shape, color, flavor and
sweetness are all ideal. Pkt. 10c, oz. 25c, 14 Ib. 45c, Ib. $1.40,

An exceptional strain of Cauliflower for
early out-door planting and forcing. This
type is more generally planted and gives
more universal satisfaction than any other
sort. In size, compactness and color it is
ideal for market. A well grown head will

depth in proportion, very solid with a per-

GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING yirceisp stock

The most popular leading sort everywhere; it excels others of the yellow varieties,
developing dwarfer, much larger bunches, with broad heavy stalks, which blanch
into a rich, appetizing, golden yellow.

While the stalks are broader and heavier than the white varieties, the quality
is very superior. The very handsome color of the crisp, tender stalks, their free-
dom from stringiness, and excellent flavor, make this the market favorite. Our
selected stock is grown for us in France by the introducers. This is the strain
used by large planters. Our regular strain grown in this country by careful, ex-
perienced growers, from our selected stock, will satisfy the most critical users.

WHITE PLUME

This variety is most widely known and highly valued by market gardeners
throughout the northern country. It is the recognized best of the white va-
vieties. The causes for the great popularity of White Plume, among consum-
ers and gardeners, are fine flavor and general excellence of quality. This
strain is remarkable for vigor, size and appearance. Its habit of growth is
vigorous, uniformly white, stalks that are large, crisp, tender and fine. We do
not recommend it as a keeper, but a seasonable money maker of the first class.
For fall and early winter it has the endorsement of a very wide range of prac-
tical and very critical market gardeners. Waughan’s Selected Stock. Pkt., 5c;

WIDE RANGE, FINEST TYPES, TRUE SEED

MAMMOTH WHITE CORY

The great popularity of this extra early Sweet Corn is due to the fact that it was suc-
cessfully bred for three important qualities—Earliness, Size, Sweetmess. Placed in which-
ever order you wish, these are the dominant characteristics of this favorite corn, Early as
the earliest corn. The ears are as long with two to four more rows of kernels set close,
so there is no loss of space in the cob. The grains are of medium size, broad, very white and
of high table quality. The stalks are a little less than medium size, vigorous and prolific,
usually averaging two ears to the plant. Our seed is grown and bred on our own farms in
Central Michigan. No more careful selection can be practised than we use, and ears are
dried in crates to insure high germination. Pkt.. 10c; pint (about 10 ozs.), 15c; quart

GOLDEN BANTAM.

A delicious early sweet corn of superlative merit. The planting of a small
patch of Golden Bantam and the resulting joy and delight of eating it fresh
from the garden, when sweet corn is always at its best, has made more en-
thusiastic and satisfied amateur horticulturalists than acres of successful gardens
filled with other vegetables. A brief description for the uninitiated, if there still be such—
Golden Bantam is an extra early yellow sort about a week later in season than Cory or
the first earlies. The ears are borne two to a stalk and are about six inches in length with
eight rows of kernels on a cob. The golden Kernels are lightly covered with a glossy skin,
seemingly ready to burst. The rich sweetness is to be remembered—try it. Stalks medium
high and with heavy foliage. Our seed is our own growing and the best we have been
able to find. Pkt., 10c; pint (about 10 ozs.), 20c; quart (about 20 ozs.), 30c; 4% pk., 80c; pk.,

STOWELL’S EVERGREEN

This is the grand, standard main crop variety of sweet corn. The strong vigorous stalks
grow 7 to 8 feet high and produce ears 8 inches long which have 16 or more rows of the
finest sugary grains. The reputation of this variety for productiveness is well and long es-
tablished, and the fine rich flavor and sweetness of the deep set, tender, white grains have
made it the great and popuiar favorite it is. For market, home or canning it is always an
immense success. Many years specializing with this great sweet corn enables us to say with
the assurance of truth that, our stock is the best you can buy. New England grown seed
develops a larger percentage of sugar than seed grown in other sections of the United States.
We quote prices for New England grown seed and seed grown in the central states.

Is a late main crop variety, which should find a place with every grower for home or
market. It is called the sweetest corn. The ears, which are 7 to 9 inches long are borne

crowded together on the cob, instead of forming in defined rows. MJDeliciously tender and

IMPORTANT NOTE

Field and Sweet Corn
Breeders are now convinced
that better quality corn,
higher yields, and earlier
maturity are to be expected
where carefully bred local
seed is used, than from
stock brought from a dis-
tance. This explains many
controversies regarding ear-
best corn varieties—where
each planter using his own
seed had earlier corn than
any he could buy. Our
New York Store sells New
England seed of nearly all
early varieties, and our
Chicago house uses Mich-

VAUGHAN’S ORIGINAL OSAGE

The Osage is without doubt the best general purpose Muskmelon yet
produced; on heavy soils where other sorts like Rocky Ford produce inferior
quality fruit Osage does well and is a profit maker, and in sandy locations
Osage is at home and develops handsomely, doing quite as well as in
heavier soils. An Osage melon is seldom poor in quality, it holds its own
rich flavor much longer than do most other sorts; a well grown Osage
represents the highest quality in Muskmelons. We have always taken great
pains to keep up the quality of our seed of this melon to the highest point
of excellence as it is a variety in which we take pride as the introducers.

Our strain is most carefully reselected each season to conform to
our ideals of quality, shape, size and vine growth, enabling us to
maintain an always uniform stock.

The Osage is a large melon, about three times the size of Rocky
Ford. With its well netted, dark skin, smooth salmon-colored
flesh of a superb rich flavor, it stands high with growers everywhere
as is evidenced by the orders we receive from the largest growers,
year after year. Buy early. Selected stock. Pkt., 10c; 14 0z., 15¢;

VAUGHAN’S PAUL ROSE, OR PET OSKEY

A unique combination of the Osage and Rocky Ford melons is
the later Vaughan’s specialty—the market basket success Paul Rose
muskmelon. This melon introduction of Vaughan’s Seed Store is
a basket size melon of great merit and it fills a place in usefulness
and quality distinctly individual.

Paul Rose is a melon produced by crossing ‘‘Osage’ and
“Rocky Ford,’ a grand combination which produces the highest
percentage of high-class table melons of the basket size varieties.
It has the flesh color and quality of the Osage, with a flavor en-
tirely its own, it also has the netted skin and shape of the Rocky
Ford, making it ideal to market—and it does not break-
down in shipping. In season it is ten days earlier than Osage, its
fine flavor, rich quality, netted skin and basket packing size make
it a winner. Selected Stock. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; 2 oz., 40c; 14 Ib.,

ROCKY FORD NETTED GEM—%rccr? of

This delightful melon when well grown from high-class selected :
seed is the standard of green fleshed muskmelon excellence. ‘‘Re- |
freshment and pleasure are found in each delicious bite, and the
exquisite flavor is almost tonic in its appetizing effect.”’ The seed we
offer is grown for us by an expert melon grower in the Rocky Ford
district, Colorado. We have two grades, selected, which is saved
from specimen marketable melons only, and regular, saved from a
field raised for seed purposes only, from which only the off vines
have been discarded. The selected stock which comes from the culled
specimen melon is more uniform and produces more melons of the
specimen type. The regular stock is saved from a field grown for
seed, but without the time and expense of special selection having
been spent upon it. The illustration on this page shows the NETLIED GEM
small seed cavity, and the thick, rich, juicy flesh, which is so
delicious it may be eaten to the very rind. Vaughan’s Selected

A real gem with salmon colored delicious flesh, and where Rocky Ford
Netted Gem is produced in Colorado it is as much in favor as the green

“Vaughan’s Osage Gem.” It has since become the most renowned melon
of any offered on the market. The regular seed trade all have it listed
under other names, The skin is heavily netted like the Rocky Ford and
the luscious salmon colored flesh is of the highest quality. Pkt., 10c¢; 0z.,

an ambition to enter this field, rather than to make an unlimited appeal; for the reason that certain funda-

COLE’S EARLY

In the Northern States Vaughan’s ‘‘Cole’s Early” has long been
a great favorite and continues to enjoy the patronage and confi-
dence of important home market growers—it is a home market
melon. It is early and as such has no superior, although not
well suited for shipping. For quality it is king, in sweet, deli-
cious crispness, fetching flavor and melting tenderness, it stands
at the top. Medium size melons, they are oblong shape,
about 20 inches long, 12 inches through; skin rich green, thin
brittle rind—poor shipper—but flesh appetizingly red, rich, de-
licious and sweet. Our seed is extensively planted in the north-
ern states where it is produced, and where this melon is at home

WINTER WATERMELON

The fine keeping quality of this variety, apart
from its palatable edibleness, makes it a spe-
celal favorite, and gives it a special place. In
a cool place it keeps long into the winter and
retains its delicious sweetness and flavor. It
is early (earlier than ‘‘Sweetheart’”’), and pro-
lific; the flesh is red, extremely firm, almost as
hard as citron, very brittle, but deliciously
sweet. Skin is very light green, almost white,
its shape round. Vaughan’s Winter Melon will

AUGHAN’S ONIONS

The past season, 1915, has not proven a profitable one in general to onion growers. Too
much wet weather, where it did not drown out the crop entirely, has produced a soft and
poor keeping onion. At the time (Dec. 26) this catalog is going to press, it looks as though
good Keeping onions in late January and February would command extraordinarily high
prices. The early market has been kept down by the presence of the poor Keeping stock
which it was necessary to move at any price obtainable. The government reports a much
decreased amount fit for storage—the total of which is much lower than in former high-

Si, EE priced years.

To the row the present season, our Chicago gardeners could tell
where Vaughan’s Special Eastern Globe onion seed was planted—
here was a perfect, vigorous stand. While other
seed stood still, Vaughan’s continued growing and
finally at the harvest practically the only market-
able onions were produced from Vaughan’s or
from the farmer’s own home grown seed. Such
seed grown in the East costs more than the com-
mon run but this year it was worth many hun-
dred per cent more and every year many dollars
more per pound.

SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE

Conspicuous, large, golden yellow spheres, of
exceptional beauty; a late, large, main crop va-
riety; best keeping quality. The buyer of a
packet and the planter for carload shipments
are equally enthusiastic over this gem among
onions. Sacked or barreled for market. Its size,
beauty, quality and fine appearance make it a
trade winner.

We take great pride in these globe types of ours and we think they are as good as can
be grown. In the first place they are grown in the East where color, shape and keeping
- quality can be maintained and bred up, an impossibility in the West. Second, our seed
bulbs are selected and re-selected year after year. Third, the different colors are sown
miles apart and stored in different houses after harvest to prevent mixtures. Fourth,
our seed harvest is carefully cut and dried in the husk on racks which secures the high-
est possible germination.

WHY ONION SETS ARE PLANTED

Onion Sets produce bulbs in one-half the time
that is required by raising from seed, the
planter is enabled thereby to get the highest
market price for his early onions, and raise
a second crop the same year.

The handling of onion sets is one of the
most important branches of our business. We

WHITE MULTIPLIERS

For First Early Spring Bunching Onions, they
are pure Silvery-White, which runs well up the
stem, very sweet and mild flavor, superior to
green onions from other sets. There are usu-
ally several stalks from a single bulb, which
makes them very productive. The extreme
earliness of this sort is most important; they
are ready for table earlier than any other sort.

MAGNUM DULCE

“The Salad King’ of American :
grown sweet peppers; the largest in~~
size, and so mild, that the sweet and
piquant fruit may be eaten raw like
an apple. Fried like an egg plant,
it is a delicious dish,

Magnum Dulce can be grown to tre-
mendous size, 7 inches long by 4 inch-
es through; but to get the largest yield, &
instead of the largest peppers, pinch
off the “‘king flowers,” the first ones to ¥
open, which produce the largest pep-
pers. By the practice of pinching off
the king flowers you increase the yield
of medium size fruits.

Our seed is most carefully grown
and selected every year. Pkt., 10c; %

NEW SWEET UPRIGHT SALAD

For use in Northern states it is the best
garden variety to date. Early and so mild
in flavor that even the seed may be eaten
raw. The fruits are of medium size, just
right for stuffing and frying. In habit the
bushes are of medium height and bear the
Peppers upright instead of drooping, mak-
ing gathering very easy. The color of the
Pepper is a bright shiny green which turns
to a waxen red when ripe. Harly, prolific,
sweet and mild, fine size, making it all to-
gether an unsurpassed sort.

VAUGHAN’S SWEET MOUNTAIN

A strong growing variety and very productive. The fruits when young
are a bright, deep green color without any shade of purple; when ripe
they are most handsome red. The flesh is thick and mild, though
sharper than Upright Sweet Salad. The Peppers often grow 6 inches
long by 4 inches through. Our seed has been very carefully selected.

EARLY AND MAIN

\ For years we have paid particular attention to Peas. On the fol- ee
lowing four pages and on the novelty page No. 6 will be found, we =
think, the most complete list of new and standard varieties in the ¢ SUTTON’S
United States. The new sorts are the pick from a hundred trials of the == EXCEL-

new English introductions grown and acclimatized in this country. SIOR

NOTT’S EXCELSIOR

See Novelty
Page.

It is impossible to purchase on the market, Peas equal in quality
to those picked from your own garden.

2 NOTT’S EXCELSIOR

Of the Dwarf early peas, Nott’s Excelsior has properly led all others in poular-
ity. They are almost as early as the round seeded varieties, being only two or
three days later, but far superior to them in quality. The vines grow about 15
inches high, which bear heavy masses of blunt pods, about 3 inches long, each pod
containing five to seven peas of good size; they are tender, and delicious to eat, of
very prolific growth, excelling ‘‘American Wonder” and Little Gem, in this respect;
they are easily raised—require no brushing and are most desirable for the home
garden. They are planted extensively by market gardeners. Buy Vaughan’s
Strain, and you’ll have a most satisfactory stock of this sort. Pkt., 10c: pint
(about 1 Ib.), 20ce; quart (about 2 Ibs.), 35c; 144 pk., 90c; pk., $1.75; bu., $7.00.

AMERICAN WONDER

Is an Extra Early Wrinkled Pea, a dwarf of standard high quality. Vines 10 to 12 inches
high, dwarfer than ‘‘Nott’s Excelsior,’’ usually matures a day or two in advance of Nott’s, de-
velops firm, well filled pods. Very prolific, almost as heavy a yielder as Nott’s Excelsior. This
is a home garden variety of the highest class—for succession plant each week—vines require
no support or brushing during growth. Pkt., 10c; pt. (about 1 Ib.), 20c; qt. (about 2 lbs.), 35e;
% pk., 90c; pk., $1.75; bu., $7.00.

SUTTON’S EXCELSIOR

A new First Early Dwarf Wrinkled Pea, and regarded by some as the leader and best of the
class. Vines 18 inches high, pods are square at the lower end, they are larger and broader
than the usual dwarf peas, and light-green color. This is a very hardy sort, which permits
early planting. Sutton’s Excelsior is a very heavy yielder—season is two days later than
“Nott’s Excelsior.’’ The excellent quality, size of pods, heavy yield and hardiness, secure for
Sutton’s Excelsior preference from many gardeners, over the large podded tender tall sorts.
Pkt., 10c; pt. (about 1 Ib.), 20c; qt. (about 2 Ibs.), 40c; 4% pk., $1.20; pk., $2.25; bu., $8.00.

PREMIUM GEM

This early dwarf wrinkled pea is not so upright in habit as ‘‘American Wonder,” but the
vines, which grow 16 to 18 inches high, require no brushing. The pods develop in great quan-
tity, are three inches long, containing peas of fine quality, flavor, and give satisfaction. Pkt.,
10c; pt. (about 1 Ib.), 20c; qt. (about 2 Ibs.), 30c; % pk., 90c; pE., $1.75; bu., $7.00.

A whole page of wonderful new Peas on page 6, will be found the pick of the marvelous new
English, and other improved types of peas.

NORTHERN GROWN [= )< J [23/A\

MAUD S.

WVaughan’s Selected Extra Early; an excellent strain of a
very fine variety. The vines are 20 to 26 inches high, the pods
2% to 3 inches long, they hold 5 to 7 peas each. The deli-
cious rich flavor and sweetness, the tender quality and smooth-
ness, of Vaughan’s Maud S. is well known to many satisfied
growers and consumers. The seed is white, round and smooth,
the crop ripens evenly and extra early, two most important
points, viz.—first in the market; with your crop all harvested
at once. Pkt., 10c; pt. (about 1 Ib.), 15c; qt. (about 2 Ibs.), 25e;
14% pk., 75e; pk., $1.40; bu., $5.50.

ALASKA, CALLED EARLIEST OF ALL} a

In season same as “Maud S.” Alaska and ‘Maud S.” are, in all :
but color, the same. Alaska seed is bluish in color; it is standard for &
market and canning, and Vaughan’s strain is true to type and always
gives the results in growth, which only the best seed can produce.
Round seed peas do not rot in cold ground so easily as wrinkled peas
do, hence earlier planting and harvesting are possible. If you plant
Vaughan’s strain of Alaska peas—you plant the best in growing
quality. Pkt., 10e; pt. (about 1 Ib.), 15ce; qt. (about 2 Ibs.), 25c; %
pk., 75¢; pk., $1.40; bu., $5.50.

EARLY AMEER

A rather old variety, which has lately become very popular with
truckers in certain sections of the South. The peas are smooth and
therefore can be planted early without rotting. The season is early,
m2 or 3 days later than Alaska, and the pods are almost twice as
@iarge, and hence command a high market price. Pkt., 10c; pt. (about
1 lb.), 15ce; qt. (about 2 Ibs.), 30c; % pk., 85c; pk., $1.65; bu., $6.50.

VELOCITY

Similar to ‘Alaska,’ but with smaller vines and pods. Small round
bluish seed of fair quality; a week earlier than Alaska—in fact the
earliest pea at present. Pkt., 10c; pt. (about 1 Ib.), 20c; qt. (about 2
Ibs.), 35¢; 4%4 pk., 90c; pk., $1.75; bu., $7.00.

SURPRISE—The Earliest Pea of Quality

The earliest of all sweet wrinkled peas. In season two days later than Alaska.
Being a wrinkled pea it cannot be planted in soil so cold as smooth peps, like
Alaska or Maud S., because not so hardy. Vines grow 24 inches high and require
no brushing; the pods are of good size and are produced in medium prolific quantity,
and are filled with peas of choice quality, much like Nott’s Excelsior in flavor and
sweetness. Pkt., 10c; pt. (about 1 Ib.), 20c; qt. (about 2 Ibs.), 35c; % pk., 90c; pk.,
$1.75; bu., $7.00.

GRADUS

To eat Gradus Peas is to enjoy all the luscious sweetness and rich
flavor, combined with melting tenderness of the finest butter you can
imagine. Gradus is the greatest of the wrinkled pea varieties, it is

which retains its attractiveness, beautiful color and fine appearance
after being cooked. It is the most popular of all the extra early
wrinkled peas. It is tender and should be planted in the warmest
spot in the garden, it blooms forth and matures within two or three
days after the small round extra early sorts. Vines 30 inches high,
pods 4 inches long or more, beautiful green color, and 10 or more

Our Mr. Vaughan found in England, near
London, two years ago, an increasing tendency
to sell flowers with vegetables. The same
markets that dispose of all garden truck were
selling beautiful flowers of Lilies, Dahlias and
Gadioli. It is also true that here in this
country as well, many market gardeners are
growing Gladiolus flowers, disposing of them
at summer homes for good prices. The avail-
ability of Gladiolus Bulbs for this purpose is
marked. The bulbs aready contain the young

The illustration on this page, of Vaughan’s famous Marrow-
fat parsnip, gives a good idea of the fine shape, uniform good

VAUGHAN’S NEW INTERMEDIATE. This new sort does
not require the depth of soil for its cultivation that is necessary
for the older varieties. Although equal in quality and flavor to
the old sorts the roots of this variety are only one-half to
two-thirds as long when grown under ordinary conditions. On
heavy or clay soils Intermediate is especially valuable. During
the past few years of drought, the Intermediate, of all varieties,

EARLY AND MAIN CROP VARIETIES

Waughan’s Early Seed Potatoes have for over thirty years been the
standard of quality. Waughan’s Improved Red River Grown Ohio has
4 been for years and is now the best first early. The last few seasons
have been unfavorable for first early potato crops, and there has been
an increasing demand for second early and medium season varieties
which outyield the first earlies, but still command the high early market
prices.

VAUGHAN’S IMPROVED EARLY OHIO (RED) VAUGHAN’S

Is a week to 10 days earlier than other strains of the same variety.
The reason for this is not only in the great care with which our
seed is selected, grown and housed, but it is produced under condi-
tions which are the most favorable—in the Red River Valley of
Ohio, the natural home for high-class potato seed. This standard
variety is well known to growers, who find it superior to other strains.

In the middle west Vaughan’s seed produces earlier and better
yields than native seed, no matter how carefully selected. It is the
favorite of large market growers. % pk., 35e; pk., 65c; bu., $1.75;

GREEN MOUNTAIN. After careful trials we list this as the most de-
sirable of the cylindrical potatoes. It is especially suited for loose soils or
muck land. As the tubers set rather deep—this habit is detrimental on
heavy or clay lands where the crop is liable to run undersized. On loam
the tubers run uniformly large and slightly irregular in shape. Green
Mountain is a hard potato to beat for eating quality; they cook dry and
mealy with a particularly fine flavor. Under favorable conditions this is an
immense yielder; the tops are large and branching with light green leaves
and white blossoms entirely distinct from the Rural Type varieties. %

potato crops and sells at the high early market price. The
tubers are round, slightly flattened, but a chunky appearance
somewhat like Cobbler. The skin is netted—a sure indication
of high eating quality, and resistance of scab. The vine is
vigorous and healthy. We are positive this sort will become

Is very compact but prostrate, rather than upright in habit
of growth. This new spinach withstands hot weather longer
than other kinds; by its use the season may be lengthened a

SPINACH

SWISS CHARD—The City Man’s Garden

ALSO CALLED “CUT AND COME AGAIN” SPINACH

This vegetable gives maximum returns for little care and
space, it yields a constant crop from July to Winter.

If your garden space is limited, Swiss Chard must have a
place, for in ground occupied, Swiss Chard produces more food
for the table than almost any other vegetable. The leaves are
used for greens the same as Spinach or beet tops; they are
equal in quality and easier to prepare than spinach, and far
Superior to beets. Sow early in Spring, in rows 16 inches
apart, and thin out to 6 inches apart in the rows. It can be
used all Summer when spinach is not available. Later the
leaves grow very large, with broad, flat, pure white stems, and
mid-ribs, which may be cooked like Asparagus or made into
very good pickles. Our packages contain recipes for cooking
both the leaves and stalks. An ounce of seed is sufficient for
a medium sized family. As it grows, thin out for use and keep
elear of weeds. Good cultivation increases the tenderness of the

leaves.

Many of the Chicago gardeners use Swiss Chard as a catch
erop, giving quick results where land would otherwise stand
idle. The investment is small and returns often large. Pkt.,
5c; oz., 10c; 1% Ib., 25c; Ib., 75ce.

LUCULLUS SWISS CHARD. A new Moss Curled sort. Very large leaves.
The mid-ribs are very broad and form a good substitute for asparagus dur-
ing the summer months. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 15c; %4 Ib., 35c; lb., $1.00.

LYON SWISS CHARD. A new variety, selected especially for its broad
mid-ribs and stems. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 20c.

We put our name on strains of seed we control. We monopolize
them because they have extraordinary merit. Pick out those special
strains in ordering and you will be repaid.

TOMATO PLANTS—We have ready
about May 15th carefully grown to- 9
mato plants. Seedlings from the hot r
beds, transplanted plants from flats }
and 2-inch pot plants. See page 54.

EARLIANA-—The Most Popular Extra Early Red

Vaughan’s Earliana is the earliest large, smooth red tomato. In season it ripens
with the earliest, it is large and smooth, bright red, and our strain shows few, if any,
of the rough fruits found in numerous quantity in other early sorts, and among many
strains of Earliana. This variety is compact in growth, with stout jointed branches;
the vines yield well and the fruit is solid and of fine quality. A few days in season to
the tomato market grower sometimes means the difference between the early market
high price and average season price with a small margin of profit. By constant super-
vision we keep our strain right—our trials show it is without a superior. This variety
is planted almost exclusively in some southern tomato shipping centers. Buy Vaughan’s
Strain of Earliana and get results. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; 2 ozs., 45c; %4 lb., 75e; Ib., $2.50.

JUNE PINK—The Best Extra Early Pink

In many, perhaps the greater number of markets, a pink early tomato
is most desired; this is the earliest of the Pink varieties, and is similar in
habit to the famous Earliana. We have bred this to such fine smoothness
of skin, that in our strain, growers for market find few rough fruits, and in
Western markets where pink tomatoes only sell readily, this is a
splendid profit maker. The fruits are of fair size and good quality;
vines ripen evenly, permitting quick harvesting. Pkt., 10c; % oz,

The dwarf, or tree tomatoes are
good yielders, require no staking;
therefore, fine for home garden.

z DWARE STONE—The Largest Dwarf Tomato

Is the largest Dwarf Tomato in existence, it resembles “Dwarf Champion’, in
jhabit, but is of stronger growth and more erect. : ee

The fruit is red, in shape and size similar to “Tall Stone’; specimens weighing
‘one pound each are quite common. The-season is nearly as early as ‘‘Dwarf Cham-
pion” but the fruits are twice the size of that sort. Amateurs not used to training
‘vines, find this a splendid variety because of being Dwarf and robust.

The fruits are free from cracks at the stem end; they ripen evenly, are solid and
splendid quality. Pkt., 10c; % oz., 15c; oz., 25c; 4 Ib., 80c; Ib., $3.00.

PONDEROSA—The Giant Tomato

Of the Large Fruited Tomatoes, this is a gem. The vines are
of strong growth. When planted in good soil and pruned to a
single stem the fruits often reach one pound in weight. They
are largely oblong in form, deep through, usually ribbed or
‘ridged, deep purple color, solid flesh, small seed cells and have
fine sweet flavor. Pkt., 10c; % 0z., 20c; 0z., 35¢e; %4 Ib., $1.25;

STOCK CARROTS

Carrots are very valuable for all kinds of domestic animals, and are
better for horses than any other root crop. When fed alternately with oats
to work-teams on the farm, the value of Carrots has been found to equal
the oats they displace. Succulent food, in part, will always prove bene-
ficial. Carrots are best.

Mastodon. Heaviest cropping Carrot. Roots short, white, very heavy at

General List of Annual Flowers

We have this year abstracted the Perennials from our General Flower
Seed List and offer them further on in the catalogue with our Perennial Plants,
a change which will, we are sure, be helpful to our readers as they will know at
a glance to which class a plant belongs, while the combining of the Perennial
Plants and Seeds very much facilitates the ordering of either or both.

flower seed stocks and our old reputation of having THE BEST FLOWER

During the late summer and early fall the garden is usually a riot of
reds and yellows, so the asters in their dainty and distinct colors as well as
their many attractive forms are a pleasing addition.

In their improved forms one can scarcely tell them from the Chrys-
anthemums, to which they bear a striking resemblance.

The long stems make them desirable for cut flowers and the blooms
last long in water.

It should be remembered however in regard to Asters that good
culture is essential in order to obtain an abundance of fine flowers.

We offer a leaflet on the culture of asters which is supplied free if
asked for at the time of ordering.

The King
: The habit is similar to the popular Giant Branching, vigorous in
growth, long stiff stems. In form the flower is entirely distinct from any
other variety; petals somewhat resemble the quilled varieties, but are
much larger and broader, those in the center being curled and incurved,
completely covering the crown. In shape and size the bloom is round,
full and very large. See illustration on preceding page.

Dahlia © 2 4ft.

But few people know Dahlias can be raised from seed and will bloom
the first year. The seeds germinate as easily and certainly as Zinnias,
and from the very first development are strong and sturdy little plants.
Plant them in a shallow box or pan early in March or April, transplant
them carefully as their growth demands, and keep the soil moderately
moist. When all danger from frost is over, plant them in the bed or bor-
der in the garden, and from then on they will prove no more trouble than
if the tubers had been used instead of seed.

seed in the open border either in early spring or late fall so germination
may take place very early in the spring.

Calceolaria in brilliancy of color and profusion of bloom; they should be given a dry poor soil, as on
arich or manured ground they are inclined to run to leaf. Where such is the case lime rubbish should —
be mixed with the soil. The sorts we enumerate are the most decorative and beautiful of all.

In spring the Pansy blooms continuously, producing a matchless effect in designs, beds and ribbons. Seed sown in winter and spring produces flowering plants
or spring and summer. In order to obtain fine blooms the Pansy should be given a fairly rich and not too dry asoil. During dry weather the plants must be kept
well watered and if large flowers are desired only a proportion of the shoots pote be allowed to bloom, the rest being pinched back.

The Phloxes are the showiest and most easily raised of all
Annuals. We know of nothing which produces such a continu-
ous supply of the most attractive flowers in a most wonderful
range of colors. All the tints of the rainbow are represented
with all possible variations of stripes, veins and eyes of con-
3 trasting shades. Seed should be sown in the ground as soon as danger of

frost is over and in a few weeks the beds are a blaze of glory. May be
grown in beds or borders, boxes or vases and make splendid ouehne
material as the blooms last long in water.

Nana Compacta Dwarf. 8 in.

These are much superior to the other Phloxes for ribbon bedding, or

borders. The plants grow very symmetrical in neat, little bushes, covered
with flowers during the whole summer and fall. Pkt.

_ Poppies are noted for their satiny flowers of silk-like texture, in many brilliant color combinations. The foliage is
delicate and the blossoms are airily poised on slender stems. If the flowers are gathered early in the morning when the
dew is on them, they will remain fresh in water allday. Plant the seed in succession two weeks apart for a continuous
bloom all summer. Mix seed with sand before sowing so as to distribute the seed thinly and evenly.

(FOR NEW AND RARE PLANTS SEE PAGE 14)

The spirited and perpetual charm of hardy gardens has won for them wide and
intense enthusiasm. While natural and restful in general effect, their beauty is
yet ever varying and ever appealing, for flowers may be found in them throughout
the season—something new of interest every day. Inspiration for the best work
of recent years has come from gardens planted longago. Wehaveseen them grow
jnto richer, fuller and mellower beauty instead of fading with time, and how

colonies of old garden favorites sometimes outlive, on the same spot, three

SEED SOWING

Raising Perennials from seed requires a knowledge of plants, their likes and
dislikes, which cannot be conveyed in a few words, but a few things to be done
and to be remembered will be found acceptable to the amateur whose facilities for
seed starting may be scant, while to the accomplished gardener with all the
latest appliances we may perchance, renew his elementary rules:

E TIME TO SOW Many Perennials such as Aquilegia, Gaillardia,
HEY Se Hollyhock, Myosotis, Larkspur, Sweet William, etc.,
sown inside very early in Spring, (Feb. or March) should blossom the same
year, but the general rule for allis August or Septembersowing, outdoors, and
is the best way for those who haveno conservatory or cold frame for early sowing.
STARTING THE SEED INSIDE Fill the seed boxes, pans or pots with a
8 ight, ‘well pulverized mixture. of sand
and fresh loam, and sow seeds
neath. Water as required and give air and light, shading during bright days.
When strong enough, transplant into large flats, or to permanent quarters.

LATE SUMMER AND FALL SOWING Sow in boxes outside and shade, or
ees! IN Partially shaded border or cold
frame; later plant out permanently, and at the commencement of frost give
them a light covering of straw, leaves or dry litter.

If the plants are not too overgrown and crowded they may be left in the seed
bed over winter. Losses will sometimes occur with beginners but ““experience
_ teaches” and it is only by experience that these can be overcome.

We offer here a most complete list of seeds and plants of these hardy_flowers.

Customers will please state distinc tly which they require Plants, Seed, or

PLANTING

It is always advisable to have a planting plan,

no matter how crude, and ar-
rangeon a paper the plants you

wish to use in their exact relation to position, bear-
ing in mind the heights. colors and time of flowering or foliage effect. All this
may be had by consulting our list. It is always wise to plant in masses as
these Perennials are usually found so in nature, and natural conditions should be
copied as much as possible.

Parties ordering for first time and not familiar with the different sorts will
do well to consult us, allowing us to make the selection, as we are always willing
to give our customers the benefit of our many years of experience,

Bearing in mind that the plants must remain asset for several years, it is as
well to make a thorough preparation. Have the ground in good tilth before do-
ing any planting, Spadein a liberal quantity of well rotted manure and bone
meal in the fall before, if convenient.

Planting should be commenced as early as possiblein the spring usually about
ten days after the frost is out of the ground, The soil is then in good condition.
By planting early, the plants have a chance to become established before the hot
weather sets in, and will then give better satisfaction the first year. Do this
work carefully and cultivate thoroughly afterwards. Pains taken in this direction
will be amply repaid. (These notes refer only to the spring planting of
established plants from our plant establishment.)

Beautiful Hardy Irises

German Iris - Fleur de Lis

eS
German Irises are all sun lovers and delight in a well drained situation. They are all deliciously fragrant, large and
handsome, more or less beautifully mottled in the “Standards” and veined in the ‘‘Falls,’’ while the beards range from
delicate primrose to orange. Their beauty at first sight rivals that of the Orchid, but, on closer examination, we have
no hesitation in saying they yield points of interest not to be found in the whole of the Orchid family. In colors there
are the richest yellows, the most intense purples and delicate blues, the softest mauves and very beautiful claret-reds.
There are also whites, and primroses, and bronzes of every imaginable shade—indeed, language fails us in picturing all
the beauties of this flower, and our descriptions, in consequence, fall far short of the reality. Those who have not used.
these Irises for surrounding lakes and ponds, or cultivated them in the flower borders, shrubberies, woodland walks, and
wild gardens, should do so. If planted around ponds or lakes they should be placed well above the water level.

“<S”? refers to the three standard, or upright curling petals; ‘‘F’’ to falls or drooping petals.

Vaughan’s Hardy Phlox

Phlox Decussata

HIS is one of the most useful flowers for summer decoration, the colors varying from pure
white to deep crimson. They are not at all particular as to soil, and are exceedingly
hardy. To obtain gocd resultsit is wise to manure the soil well and give them a fairly

open situation, and an oceasional soaking of water during very dry weather. Once planted
they require no further attention for several years, but it is advisable to renew them about
every fifth year.

The flowering period is from the early part of July to the middle of September and they
grow to heights varying from 1 to 3 and even 4 feet. If the first flower spikes are cut off as
soon as over, and tbe plants are given a good soaking, a second crop of bloom extending until
late in fall may be expected.

Our collection contains the finest of the new introductions. The colors are beautiful and
striking, and the individual flowers are in many cases twice and thrice the size of older varieties.

The blue, lavender, and orange colored ones should be planted in semi-shade, as the
sun is apt to bleach out the colors in a short time.

Letters and numbers immediately following the varieties indicate time of flowering and
approximate height as follows:

3 VAUGHAN’S PEONIES

EONIES, especially the modern introductions, are probably the most valuable,
and most beloved of all perennial plants. Planted in sun or semi-shade, in single
clumps or long beds; or bordering lawns, shrub rows, and carriage drives, they give

a grand display of large fragrant blossoms of brilliant colors during June, followed
by their exquisite foliage which is very ornamental during summer months. -They
are also most effective for home and table decorations, and last longer in water than
many other perennials. Avoid buying cheap Peonies, they require just as much care
as the better kinds, and are disappointing in the end. e grow only varieties
that we have thoroughly tested at our trial grounds, and here offer the grandest
Peonies in commerce.

Planting. Peonies may be planted in spring as soon as the frost is out of the
ground. Orders should be sent in at once so that we can forward when weather
permits. Avoid planting too deeply, as this is often the cause of shy blooming, 2
or3 inches of soil over the crown (eyes) being sufficient. After planting give a
heavy mulching of rotten stable manure, and do not transplant the clumps for at
least 5 years, and then only if very necessary. Full cultural directions are
sent with each order.

We offer three sizes, viz: —Divided roots, 3 to 5 eyes. Medium roots, 5 eyes
and up. Large roots, 4 to 5 year old clumps, 8 eyes and up.
D—Divided. M—Medium. L—Large Roots.

SINGLE BEGONIAS
AMARYLLIS

Very popular for house culture and easily grown by everyone, the chief point being

to give the bulbs alternate periods of rest and growth. When the leaves appear give

water and plenty of light; after flowers are off and leaves have started to turn yellow, with-

hold water and put pot away from light. Do not start growth again until bulb shows signs
of life itself (even when soil is perfectly dry) by pushing out new leaves.

KING HUMBERT

King of the Bronzed-Leaved Cannas

Giant Flowered. Bronzed Leaf.

This remarkable ‘‘Gold Medal’’ Canna has been the sensation of the past
six years. It is a cross between the Orchid flowering and the French or Crozy
type, combining the best features of both, the large flowers of one with the free-
blooming character of the other, and the handsome broad leathery foliage with
a strong, noble habit.

It is so distinctively in advance of any other Canna that the demand for and
use of it has become universal. We have taken the highest awards with it where-
ever shown in competition. It received a gold medal at St. Louis, being the
central figure in our ‘‘Grand Prize Exhibit.’’ Be sure to order this one.

NEW VORK (esta See since 1876

Enormous brilliant clusters of bloom borne on spikes above
broad leaves of green or bronze, in tropical effect, characterizes the
Canna beds of today. No park, no public garden, private estate,
or even moderate town plat is complete this summer without a
showing of Cannas,our large displays of them at Western Springs
being a wonderful sight during August and September and the
admiration of all visitors. We discard older and smaller types as
new improved ones come along. Notable among these are ‘ Ki
Humbert,” “‘Chas. Lutz,” ‘‘ Hungaria,” and “‘ Firebird,” the finest
Scarlet Canna of the present time. Our importations of Canna
novelties began before the Chicago World’s Fair, and at that fair
and since, at Omaha, Buffalo, St. Louis, at San Diego and San
Francisco, we have won grand medals for our exhibts of these plants.

Culture.—Cannas should be planted in good, rich garden soil, mixed with half
of old rotten stable manure, by the end of May, when danger from frost is past.
Water sparingly for first two weeks after planting. When growing freely, water
liberally. Set the plants about 18 inches apart each way, and if more than one
kind is used, be careful to plant the taller growing kinds in the center and the
dwarf ones along the edge. This applies to planting in beds.

FIREBIRD

The best-red flowered green-leaved Canna

This is by all means the very best red-flowered, green-leaved Canna today.

The flowers are borne in immense trusses, on strong stalks well above the
leaves. They are of splendid form, round and shapely. The petals measure and
sometimes exceed 214 inches across, and the color is a clear giistening scarlet
without any streaks, spots or blotches.

We have seen and tested many varieties during the years we have devoted
to their culture and have never seen one that can approach it. Customers who
have grown this Canna concede its worthiness to rank with the Grand Bronze
King Humbert. Our rapid propagation the past two years now brings it within
the reach of all. Strong plants. Each 35c; 3 for $1.00; doz. $3.50; 100, $25.00.

Dry Roots ready
at any time

In the following list we offer what we consider the very best of the foreign and
American Dahlias, which we observed in our extensive trials last season when we
were enabled to select for variety of form and color, freedom and perfection of
bloom and length of season, the following very complete assortment. ‘

The New Peony-flowered Varieties illustrated on next page were raised by a
notable Continental grower. A glance wiil show their distinct and attractive
outline, and the colors will be found most facinating. ‘

They have won numerous awards at various Huropean shows. :

We offer all pot-grown plants, with the exception of those also offered in roots
at end of page 117.

Contrary to public opinion we maintain that Dahlia plants are always
superior to dry roots, and are willing to take the responsibility of
recommending them.

Young Plants
ready in May

While roots may generally be planted by April 25th, it is hardly wise to set out
the growing plants until May 10th to 15th, but jwith good care and soil, the
started plants make such strides of growth as to surpass earlier plantings.

Full cultural directions accompany every order.

Please state if you want a substitute if our supply of any is exhausted.

Dry roots may be had any time, as long as the stock lasts; plants from 214
in. pots can be supplied after April 15th.

Allexcept the special offers of large field clumps of unnamed and mixed
Dahlias, are sent prepaid to any post or express office in the U. S.

CACTUS DAHLIAS

The cactus forms of Dahlias are exceedingly beautiful, and are hard to excel.
They have long twisted petals and embrace nearly all the colors and shades to
be found in any of the other types. The advances made in these in recent
years is very noticeable, some charming blends of color being introduced,
together with aform of flower which is a great improvement on the old varieties.
To produce the finest flowers most of the side shoots or laterals should
be pinched out when the plants get strong, leaving the terminal buds, which
then make fine flowers.

MAY 25, except where noted, and all will be sent within two or three
daysfrom date. We cannot send them out before the above mentioned date.

This, then, is the object of offering these ‘“‘Surprise’’ Collections regardless of
value. The plants are not inferior or worthless stock, being surplus, and are
often valuable high-priced varieties, but not named. The consumer is there-
fore able to get much for little and no space should be allowed to grow wild,
untilled and uncared for.

We do not hesitate to recommend this bed to our customers as being very desirable not only for furnishing a fine variety of plants which harmonize well

at a very low cost, but also because it may be increased in size easily without losing its proportions and attractiveness, In fact we find that the larger sizest
are better because the beauty is emphasized. i : . =
It must be borne in mind that the Castor Bean, Pennisetum, and Mme. Salleroi Geraniums are rapid growing and come to maturity sooner than the rest

of the plants in the collection and nothing is to be gained by getting large plants of these.

It is for this reason and no other that we do not attempt to supply

plants of these larger than those from 2%4-in. pots. This must be understood when we quote on the ‘Larger Size.”

3 E again take pleasure in submitting our revised list of roses, new varieties of approved merit having
been added, and some of the older ones discarded. We grow roses for stock purposes only, not
for a cut-flower trade. Our bushes are therefore not exhausted by bearing a quantity of
flowers and consequently produce stronger wood, which is selected for the propagation of our young stock.
These are grown under the personal supervision of an expert, are wintered in a temperature as low as is
essential for their successful culture, and are strong bushy plants, with clean, healthy, well ripened wood.

_ All orders are. handled and packed by experienced hands, and we guarantee safe arrival at
destination. With special fast train service in every direction from Chicago, our mail and express packages
of all greenhouse plants are much more satisfactorily handled than from cities less centrally located.

Hardy Everblooming Varieties

HIS class has resulted from crossing the Hybrid Perpetuals with the Tea Scented varieties, and pos-
sesses the hardiness of the first with the free blooming habit and fragrance of the latter. All have
long pointed buds borne on strong stems which make them very valuable for cut fowers. Being
so hardy, such free bloomers during the entire summer, and embracing such a wide range of color, they
will undoubtedly grow greatly in favor and be much more widely planted than at present, both in small
gardens and where large beds are desired

We especially recommend these roses for flowering the summer and fall months and have selected
only those that are best in their color and with the most desirable qualities.

Up to May 10 to 15, we can supply 2-year field grown plants of the following list, after that date
we offer pot-grown stock only.

PRICES, except where noted, 2-year, field grown, each 35c, 3 for $1.00, per doz. $3.50.

POTTED PLANTS, (after May 10 to 15) each 50c, 3 for $1.35, per doz. $5.00 (by express at
purchaser’s expense).
Note.—(Exp.) denotes to be sent by express.
Captain Christy. A very beautiful flesh pink rose, large and free-blooming, deepening to a rosy
crimson at the center. Unusually good.
Cardinal. A delightfully fragrant red rose of a strong robust habit, making it a desirable bedder.
Caroline Testout. A grand rose which should be more widely planted. It has become decidedly
popular in the West. The flowers are a fine satiny pink, full and fragrant. Excellent for cutting.

Gruss an Teplitz. Unquestionably the finest brilliant red, hardy, ever-blooming garden rose. The
flowers are very showy and handsome. It blooms constantly and continues covered with flowers the
whole season. =

Mrs. Aaron Ward. This beautiful rose changes in color as the flower
expands; the opening bud is a deep coppery orange, changing when partly
developed to golden orange in the center, while the edges of the petals which
recurve in a most graceful way are creamy white; the combination is very
striking and beautiful. When fully open itis an exquisite shade of pinkish fawn.

My Maryland. A very choice summer rose of a bight ralmon pink with pale
edges. It is very free to bloom and remarkably fragrant.

Pollaertrose (Improved La France). This grand new variety of a La France
pink is a strong grower with large beautifully formed flowers borne very
freely on strong, stiff stems. It has all the good points of a first-class rose
and is strong where the La France has developed weaknesses, and undoubtedly
will replace it in time.

Prince de Bulgarie. Silvery flesh, shaded with salmon, long bud, very distinct
and good variety, vigorous.
Radiance. Bright pink, full flowers, freely opened.

Richmond. Scarlet-crimson, pointed buds, and tall, erect stems; handsome
dark foliage, one of the most successful and prolific roses for the garden.

richness of color in the center for which it is so remarkable.

and Killarney. It rivals Mrs. Aaron Ward, being a rich coppery yellow of

very fine for cut flowers.

White Killarney. A pure white sport from Killarney, with which it is identical
in shape. It is perfectly hardy with light protection. A strong, robust grower,
flowering very freely throughout the season. The flowers are very large, buds
long and pointed, borne on strong erect stems.

Tea Roses

These are not as hardy as the Hybrid Perpetuals
and Hybrid Teas, and during winter require protection,
but they possess a delightful fragrance of their own
and exquisite shades of color. Their deep green
glossy leaves are also characteristic. Every garden
should have a sunny corner allotted to the cultivation

Among garden lovers no hardy plants are so generally popular as the Hybrid
Perpetuals, often called June Roses. Once established they are strong and hardy
growers, bearing large globular flowers. While severe weather does not kill them, |
some protection in the way of a moderate covering of rotted straw, light manure, or
leaves is very advantageous, and necessary around Chicago. Masses of these roses
may be grouped in separate colors in garden beds or borders with very striking effect,
and for decorative cut bloom, though they do not possess all the delicate tints found
in the Hybrid Tea Roses, still a table or room may be effectively decorated in one or
two colors because of the grand size and form, as well as the ideal coloring of such
kinds as American Beauty, Mrs. John Laing, and White Druschki.

_ ROSES demand reasonably free watering, and frequent spraying with Hellebore and Bordeaux
Mixture for insects and fungus, will be found beneficial. They thrive best with applications of manure

Including Baby Ramblers

These are entirely distinct from the larger flowered sorts and there isa place for both of them in
every garden, being so hardy and adapted to so many uses. Masses of 25 or more, together will be
found to make a very effective planting. y

It has been our great good fortune to be in the lead in introducing Baby Ramblers to the American
public. Years ago we first offered the Crimson Baby Rambler and recently Erna Teschendorff. What
a@ wonderful success these have been every one knows. Other recent introductions of this class will be
found in the following list.

BABY DOLL. (New.) For description and price see page 119.

BABY TAUSENDSCHON. An exact counterpart of the grand climber, ‘‘Tausendschon,’”’ except in
habit of growth. The plants are sturdy and bear immense trusses of flowers of a large size which
keep remarkably well after opening. We have found this to be a continuous and profuse bloomer and
this ““Baby’’ undoubtedly hasa great future. 2 year dormant, each 50c; 24-inch pots, each 20c;
3 for 55c, prepaid. 3%-inch pots, each 35c.

CECILE BRUNNER. Here is the ideal cut-flower rose for corsage bouquets and table bowls. To the
growing of these beautiful buds one of the largest establishments in California devotes many greenhouses,
and in the north section of Chicago many ‘‘Cecile Brunners’’ are being planted for cut-flowers to be
sent all over the United States. The delicate buds are of perfect form and color, which at first is rose
pink, shading to a deep salmon pink, and showing a rich orange center, toning to a pale flesh color
when fully opened. Itis a healthy grower beginning to bloom in early June, and continuing until
approach of frost. 2 yr. dormant plants, each 35c; 214-in. pots, each 15c; 3 for 40c; doz, $1.50
prepaid; 4-in. each, 30c; 3 for 80c; doz., $3.00 (exp.)

CLOTHILDE SOUPERT. A truly grand bedding rose pearly white in color shading to a pure rose
pink. It has remarkably round double fragrant flowers always borne in clusters. Being the introducers,
we take pride in having extra select stock which will bloom continuously during the summer, if given

ordinary care. 214-in. pots, each 15c; 3 for 40c; doz., $1.50, prepaid;
3 for 80c; doz., $3.00 (exp.)

in clusters of 30 to 40, and the foliage is dark, glossy and profuse.

even in the hottest weather. 4-inch pots each 35c; 2-year
dormant each 35c; doz. $3.50; per 100, $25.00; 3-year, each

so double as Dorothy Perkins but larger. 2-year dormant, each,
50c; doz. $5.00.

ERNA TESCHENDORFF-. The color of the flowers is the
brightest red, being superior to the Crimson Baby Rambler,
Jessie, and others.. The flowers are large and very double and are
produced in constant succession throughout the whole season. It
is free from mildew. A great advantage over the Crimson Baby
Rambler is that the color does not bleach out under the hot sun.

plants, each 35c; 3 for $1.00; 2-year dormant plants, each 40c;

CLIMBING VINES

Flower lovers and gardeners know how indispensable are Vines and Climbers
for beautifying one’s place, especially near the house. Plant Clematis, Climbing
Roses and Honeysuckles about the front porches with perhaps a vine or two of the
Chinese Wistaria to climb as high as the roof. Stone or brick walls are always
prettier whenivy-clad. Then going around to the rear of the house, if you havea
trellis to cover, or want a screen for certain buildings, get more Honeysuckles and
if you need something to cover a large space quickly, try the Kudzu vine; the Trum-
pet Creeper is also good. Onthe next two pages are the best climbers for arbors,
arches, trellises, porches, ete. Remember how pretty an arbor can be. American
Ivy or even Grape vines make a good covering.

Actinidia Polygama. (The Silver Vine.) A desirable Japanese climber of
vigorous growth, the foliage being a glossy dark green. The flowers are white
with purple centers and are followed by clusters of edible fruit. An excellent
plant for covering arbors, and where a rapid, dense growth is desired. Strong
3 yr. plants, each 50c (exp.).

Akebia Vine. A beautiful hardy climbing vine. It often grows 15 ft. in a
year and produces in early summer large clusters of fragrant rosy purple flowers
resembling Forget-me-nots. Large vines, 2 yr. 35c (exp.).

Ampelopsis Dumetorum Laciniata. A vigorous sort, leaves digitate and
deeply cut. Plants, 1 yr., each 25c; 2 yr., each 35c; 3 yr., each 50c (exp.).

Ampelopsis Engelmanni. (Engleman’s Ivy.) One of the hardiest, best and
quickest growing climbers for the north and northwest. Quite similar to the
Virginia Creeper, but vastly superior to it, the foliage being cleaner, of greater
substance and not turning yellow during the early fall, and almost perfectly
free from insects. The leaves color up beautifully in the fall. 2 yr. 25c; 3 yr.
35c: 4 yr., 50c each (exp.).

Ampelopsis Lowii. A beautiful Ampelopsis with small palmate leaves, and
a delightfully graceful habit. It is perfectly hardy and clings closely, the
apple-green foliage turning red, as does A. Veitchii as autumn advances. Plants
from 4-inch pots, each 50c, postpaid.

Ampelopsis Quinquefolia. (Virginia Creeper or Woodbine.) Luxuriant in
growth, with handsome foliage turning to bright crimson in the fall. Very
hardy vine for covering old tree trunks, walls or fences. Strong plants, 2 yr.
each 25c; doz. $2.50. Extra strong, 3 yr., each 35c; 4 yr., each 50c (exp.).

THE JAPAN OR BOSTON IVY 4mpclopis

The grandest hardy ciimbing vine in existence for covering houses, churches,
schools, etc. Its glossy, ivy leaves overlap each other, and its long, delicate
young shoots stretch up the walls with free and rapid growth. The tendrils at
nearly every point cling firmly to the smoothest surface of rock or wood. The
glossy leaves assume in the autumn the most beautiful tints of scarlet and crim-
son. The handsomest vine possible for growth on brick walls.

LARGE FLOWERING CLEMATIS

The Large-Flowered Clematis are the most beautiful of all our flowering vines
The flowers are large, often measuring four to six inches across and are borne in
great wreaths and clusters during July and August. The colors are rich royal
purple, wine color and pearly-white. The vines are of slender, wiry growth and
require some support that they can twine around, like a rod, pole or wire, and if the
location is somewhat moist and partially shaded so much the better. The north
side of house or porch with partial sun is a good spot. Hardy, but it is best to
mulch them in winter.

grower and very desirable. 4

we AFTER PLANTING

CHICAGO ,“=susHEp®
NEW YORK CEs Aeee since 1876

HE planting of shrubs, or perhaps shrubs combined with shade trees, with some
conception as to theeffect to be produced in future years, is a matter to be con-

sidered by everyone who wishes to complete the picturesqueness of avilla residence
or country home. Shrubs around a house hide unsightly corners, and the hard
straight lines of the architecture; or grouped at a distance, by the sides of walks,
carriage drives, and fences, they break what might bea monotonous line of vision
over bare lots, and give a tone of privacy to the home surroundings. Everywhere
one can find places that will suggest their use, and when in flower, or adorned with
their bright and varied foliage, their charm and beauty will be appreciated from
early spring until late tall when most of them display their brightest colored leaves,
tobe followed by the red berries of many during the winter months. Those
who are not well acquainted with varieties and are doubtful as to what to plant,
we shall be glad to help in selecting, and make suggestions and plans for grouping,
for all sites and purposes.

A denotes shrubs which attain 9 to 12 feet in height at maturity.

B denotes shrubs which which attain 5 to 8 feet in height at maturity.

C denotes shrubs which attain 1 to 4 feet in height at maturity.

Our Shrubs are transplanted every two or three years and are furnished with
plenty of fibrous roots and should not be compared with stock that isseldom trans-
planted or never moved from cutting beds until sold.

Specimens. This term is applied to shrubs that are perfect both in height and
diameter as well as shape, and are recommended where immediate effect is desired.

Where personal selection of any stock is made by customers at our
Nursery we always charge according to its value.

HYDRANGEAS
ARBORESCENS GRANDIFLORA ‘“‘SNOWBALL”’ (C)

This new American Hydrangea was found growing wild some years ago in
the woods of Ohio and is one of the most beautiful hardy flowering shrubs. Its
greatest value, aside from its beauty, is that it comes into bloom just after the
flowering time of the Lilacs, Syringas, Viburnum and spring-flowering Spiraeas
and continues on into August. The panicle is more like a Snowball in form and
size than Paniculata Grandiflora (hence the name), and is a pure white. It
thrives well in various soils but requires shade. 2-yr., extra bushy, 40c; 3-yr.,
extra bushy, 45c; 4-yr., extra bushy, 60c, 4 year Specimens, 75c.

Cinerea Sterilis. (Hills of Snow.) Very similar to the preceding, but leaves
are silvery white underneath. Very hardy, 2 year, 35c; 3 year, 45c; 4 year, 60c;
4year Specimens, 75c.

HYDRANGEA PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA (A)

Tens of thousands of this noble summer and autumn-flowering shrub have
been sold the past few years, and the demand is now universal. They grow to
a height of 8 to 10 feet, and are absolutely hardy, grow in any soil and bloom the
same year they are set out. They flower abundantly, bearing immense panicles
of bloom a foot long, white at first, turning to rose in autumn, commencing to
bloom in August, when very few shrubs are in bloom. An annual shortening
of branches tends to increase the size of the flowers.

VAUGHAN’S CHOICE FRUIT TREES

The season for planting fruit trees varies with the latitude and altitude of
localities, and is really regulated by the appearance and disappearance of frost.
Fall planting can be commenced about the middle of October until the ground is
frozen, and the spring planting can be done as soon as the frost is out of the
ground, the sooner the better. Orders should be sent in beforehand so as to have
a minimum of delay; one can readily understand the work we have to get through,
practically a whole years’ business in three or four weeks during the latter part of
March and beginning of April; and it is only fair to our customers that we should
execute orders so far as possible in strict rotation.

Pruning. It is very important that the root system and amount of branches
balance. No matter how carefully the trees may be dug a portion of the roots
are broken or cut off and the balance that exists is deranged. It is therefore
necessary that the branches be pruned. Many people are not aware of this and
will plant exactly as received from the nursery. A more fatal error could not be
made. Prune the branches of fruit trees 5 to 7 ft. in height with 3 to 5 ft. clear
stem back to within 3 or 4 buds of their base. Cut back all broken or bruised
roots smoothly to sound wood.

We shall be glad to prune fruit and other trees ready for planting if requested.
In that case, however, our customers cannot expect to receive trees that answer
our specifications as to height, for the catalogue prices are for trees unpruned.

All specimen fruit trees will be pruned before shipping unless our
customer expressly states that he does not wish this done.

Vaughan’s High Grade Recleaned Fancy Grass Seeds

We handle only the very best and purest grass seeds the market
and season afford. Our prices are based on supplying this quality.
We shall be pleased to furnish samples and our own purity and
germanation tests.

The fancy European grasses, like the Bents, Fescues, Sweet
Vernals, etc., having their origin or the most part in Germany, are
practically out of the market this year. We have had a represent-
ative in Europe since last June and we have succeeded in purchasing
a few choice lots of such grasses. The total amount is small however
and will not begin to supply our regular trade. These grasses, at
the time our catalog goes to press, (January Ist), have not yet been
shipped and we quote subject to arrival of the goods.

Prices on grass seed fluctuate like those of grain, changing daily,
therefore, although we shall do our best to maintain the prices
below, these figures are at all times subject to market changes.
Should these seem high, write for the latest quotations. Our loca-
tions (Chicago, the grass seed center of the United States) and New
York (the largest importing center) put us in a position to quote the
very lowest prices on the qualities we supply. Samples free.

Prices do not include postage. If desired by mail, add post-
ageaccording to zone rates. Grain bags25c each extra for bushel lots
or more. Unless otherwise noted, prices on this and the next two
pages apply to shipments either from Chicago or New York.

FANCY KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS (Poa Pratensis)

The best of all grasses for the lawn and
ey = = pasture. An ideal grass for limestone
soils. It is much appreciated by animal

4 breeders. It requires some time to estab-
lish itself. For a couple of years should
only be lightly grazed. Time of sowing
depends upon the locality. These are
the principal times of sowing: in the
Fall, in the early Spring, and again
‘in June. Sow three bushels (fourteen
-pounds to the bushel) per acre.

AGROSTIS CANINA (Rhode Island Bent Grass)

A valuable lawn grass. Resembles Red Top somewhat, but has shorter and
narrower leaves. Much used in the Hast, especially in the New England States.
Makes a very fine colored, close turf and readily adapts itself to almost any soil,
wherein again it is similar to Red Top. Of considerable value for permanent
meadows and pastures. For lawn sow in spring 3 to 4 bu. per acre. This seed
is imported, and on account of business conditions in Europe this season, is
scarce. 14 lbs. to the bushel. 1‘Ib., 60c; 10 lbs., $5.00; 100 Ibs., $45.00.

AGROSTIS STOLONIFERA (Creeping Bent Grass)

The ideal grass for golf-putting greens. Very distinct, with long prostrate or
creeping stems. Its creeping root and spreading habit form a lasting turf that
withstands hard usage better than other sorts. The leaves are fine and dense
growing, making it valuable for low bottom lands and espccially for slightly
sandy soil. Good for both hay and pasture. Our sample is specially cleaned and
heavy. Seed scarce. Sow in Spring 50 lbs. to the acre, 14 Ibs. to the bushel.

VAUGHAN’S HAY § PASTURE SPECIAL GRASS MIXTURES

We have succeeded in these Special Mixtures in producing a heavier, thicker
and longer continued growth of grass than when only one or two kinds are sown.
We use in each mixture choice recleaned seeds of all the kinds named. Our
numbers as below represent five mixtures most in demand and which have well
pleased our customers. These mixtures mean quality with us. If you desire a
lower priced mixture send us your idea of proportions and we will estimate. Don’t
take a poor article to save a little on price. It doesnot pay. Another thing, don’t
let any one persuade you to sow too thinly. At least 25 to 35 lbs. should be
used of most of these.

ALFALFA ON A DAIRY FARM IN NORTHERN ILLINOIS

ALFALFA OR LUCERNE

The value of alfalfa on any farm is so generally recognized that
it seems almost unnecessary to elaborate. Its strong points, per-
manency, heavy yields during dry seasons, feeding value especially
for Dairy Cattle, have been emphasized so much by all agricultural
authorities that up-to-date farmers are fully alive to its advantages.

In growing alfalfa in the middle West and Eastern States much

difficulty was first experienced in the obtaining of a stand. From

experiences of many we gather the following important points.

1. Well Prepared Land. The soil should:be deeply plowed and
constantly cultivated before planting so that the field will be as free
from weeds as possible. The more like an ‘‘Onion Bed’’ the better
chances fora stand. The seed bed should be made as compact as possible
before sowing, and the seed should be drilled if possible or lightly covered
by harrowing.

2. Lime and Inoculation. On nearly all soils an application of two
to five tons per acre of ground limestone is a great aid to alfalfa. A field,
when planting to alfalfa for the first time, should be inoculated with soil
from an old alfalfa field, or from the roots of Sweet Clover one half
wagon load to the acre, or by a culture like Nitragin, which we offer
on page 142. Prof. Hopkins of the University of Illinois is strongly in
favor of soil inoculation. a

*3. Use Northern Grown Acclimated Seed.

4. Season. June first to middle of July, but successful sowings may also

be made in April, May and June.

Alfalfa seed is very short this year especially seed of high
quality. Prices subject to market changes.

-Utah dry land seed. A very fine sample better than 99.5 pure. Lb., 30c;
10 Ibs., $2.75; 100 Ibs., $26.00; grain bags holding about 150 lbs., 22c each extra.

Dakota grown dry land seed. There is very little of this extra hardy seed.
Alfalfa never yields a crop of seed wet seasons. Lb., 35c; 10 Ibs. $3.25; 100 Ibs.,
$30.00; grain bags holding about 150 lbs., 22c each extra.

The “Grimm” or Everlasting Alfalfa has obtained a reputation for produc-
tiveness and hardiness all through the Northwest, the seed is identical with other
types of alfalfa. The best quality of Grimm seed is obtained by us from a South
Dakota grower. Our customers’ for alfalfa in the North who wish to make a
beginning will make no mistake in using this—order early as the true stock is
limited. Lb., 75c; 10 Ibs., $6.50; bu., $33.00; 100 Ibs., $50.00.

NORTHWESTERN ALFALFA

NEW HARDY ALFALFA, LISCOMB

Liscomb Alfalfa is the result of a crossing and recrossing of the
extra hardy yellow flower alfalfa with the ordinary alfalfa, which
has culminated in the production of a variety which for hardiness
and as a drought resister cannot be equalled.

This variety has variegated blossoms and differs from the ordinary
alfalfa by possessing a receeding crown (at times 3 to 5inches below
the surface of the soil) and a branched root system in place of a
single tap root. The numerous lateral roots area decided acquisition
as it gives the plant the ability to thrive under severe condition

(Variegated Flower)

LISCOMB ALFALFA, SHOWING MANY
LATERAL ROOTS

such as drought and heaving of soilfrom frost. A single tap root is
easily broken but if several of the roots of the Liscomb are broken
little damage is done the plant. The strain came originally from
Germany and the parent field from which our seed has come is now 35
years old and still raising a fine crop of hay and seed without ir-
rigation. In that time no part has winter killed even in the cold
Montana climate from whence comes our seed. Lb, 75c; 10 Ibs.,

BOKHARA OR SWEET CLOVER—White Blossom

Sweet Clover can no longer be regarded as a weed. It has
its place as a valuable farm crop along with Red Clover and
Alfalfa. On worn out or poor soils all over the country, and
on good farm lands in the dry sections of states like Nebraska
and South Dakota, no other soil renovating plant can pro-
duce equally good results. It is the most adaptable of all
legumes or nitrogen gatherers, growing on nearly all soils
and withstanding the summer heat of the soil and the cold
of the northern winters. Cattle and sheep and hogs soon ac-
quire a taste for sweet clover and as a feed it ranks in value
close to Alfalfa. It has the same bacteria on its root nodules
as Alfalfa and inoculates and prepares a field for that crop.
Cut early, before getting too large, it makes good hay. Being
a biennial it fits in with any crop rotation. Sow spring or fall.
We offer hulled seed of tested germination. Sweet Clover
runs a certain per cent of hard seeds. Hulled seed: Lb., 30c;
10 Ibs., $2.75; 100 Ibs., $22.00.

WHITE CLOVER

This variety is extremely valuable for Permanent Grass mix-
tures or those prepared for grazing land. It will stand more
grazing than any other Clover. As the growth is short it has
no value in a hay crop. Much used in lawns. Crop short. Sow
in spring, 3 to 4 lbs. per acre.

CRIMSON CLOVER

Erect growing annual with long narrow and pointed flower
heads. Grown extensively in the East and South for turning
under to improve the soil.

Produces a hay crop of excellent feeding value but requires
to be cut in full bloom to obtain the full value of the nutriment.
We cannot recommend it for the Northern latitudes as it is
likely to winter kill. Sow in August or Sept., 15 lbs. per acre.
Lb., 20c; 10 Ibs., $1.60; bu. (60 Ibs.), $9.00; 100 Ibs., $14.00.

CANADA FIELD PEAS

A valuable crop in the northern states for soiling and for
eattle feed. Sown with oats all stock eat the hay greedily and
thrive upon it. With the present season’s high prices for oats,
farmers will find it very profitable to sow these peas along with
oats for feed. Sow broadcast, 2 bushels per acre—if sown with
oats, use a bushel with 1% bu. oats. Present price, market
fluctuates: Bu., $3.10; 2 bu., $6.00; 10 bu., $29.00; bags included.

CLOVERS AND OTHER LEGUMINOUS CROPS”

MAMMOTH RED CLOVER

Should be included in all permanent grass mixtures, especially
on heavy and medium soils. Flowers later than Medium Red
Clover, is hardier and not so liable to winter kill. It produces
an abundance of Clover hay of the very best quality and always
secures the best market prices.

ALSIKE OR HYBRID CLOVER

Thrives well on damp soils or in situations where it is im-
possible to secure a catch of Red Clover. Because the seed
goes so much further than Medium Red and because of its
comparatively reasonable price this year, many farmers are
giving Alsike the preference. Sow 5 to 6 Ibs. per acre in
spring. -Vaughan’s (V) Brand, Ib., 30c; 10 Ibs., $2.50; bu. (60

SEED BARLEY—Select, Recleaned

ODERBRUCKER BARLEY (Wisconsin No. 55) A heavy yielding
and plump six-rowed variety. Introduced in 1906 by the Wis-
consin Agricultural Experiment Station. Particular attention has
been given in recent years to the breeding of this grain. A large
percentage of the Barley acreage in Wisconsin is now of this
grain. Compared to Manshury, Oderbrucker has a stiffer straw,
higher protein content and being a more vigorous grower is a
better rust resister, average yield of five to ten bushels more per
acre than other six row sorts were reported on a series of tests.
High protein content makes Oderbrucker of exceptional value for
both feeding and malting. Ours is an excellent sample Wisconsin
grown, produced from seed secured from the Wisconsin Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.

Price peck 50c, bu $1.75, 10 bu $16.00, bags included.
WISCONSIN PEDIGREE BARLEY (No. 5)

This Barley has won many State and National Championships as
the best 6 rowed variety. Prof. Moore of the Wisconsin Experiment
Station developed this from the famous Oderbrucker strain after
many years breeding and testing. By many trials throughout the
middle western states Wisconsin Pedigree has proved a greater
yielder than all others. It is tall, growing with plump grain, very
stiff straw and large well filled heads. Selected on account of yield

_and also for malting and feeding qualities.

on the improvement of their seed grains.
results have been accomplished and the methods employed at Svalof
are recognized and approved by the highest plant breeding authori-

MANSHURY BARLEY This is a standard six-rowed Barley and
is generally recognized as the most reliable yielding sort under all
conditions. It is an early sort with good stiff straw, bearing long
plump heads. The grain is large and has no superior for malting
Price, peck 50c, bu $1.75, 10 bu $16.00, bags included.

SUCCESS OR BEARDLESS This is earliest, and hardiest of all
barleys. May be sown as early as possible in the Spring without
danger from frost. The straw is heavy and stands up under a
heavy crop. The grain is without beards and can be handled and
threshed.as easily as oats.and is in stock feeding of much more
value than common barley as it may be fed without danger of
injury to the animals. Yields always show some bearded plants.
Price, peck 50c, bu $1.75, 10 bu $16.00, bags included.

WHITE HULLESS This variety is strictly a feeding sort. It has
@ grain like that of wheat. In feeding value it is almost equal to
wheat and the yield is nearly twice as large. Asa dry feed it has
no superior. The straw is heavy with good leaves, and when cut
green makes good hay. Our seed is grown in the far Northwest
and is heavy, fine, bright and very free from hulls. This variety
never runs entirely true to type.

and today the most largely planted of all varieties in the Northern
Central States. Briefly described the Oat is pure white in color; the
hull is thin and the kernel large and plump; straw is stiff and strong
enough not to lodge. A remarkable root development makes the
Swedish Oat a good drought resister—a special feature on light soils,

earliest. Lhe grain is of medium size, white, broad and nearly

the lighter soils are neceessary the first year to prevent lodging.

WHEATS—Spring

MARQUIS SPRING WHEAT

In the northwest spring wheat district Marquis
Wheat is now regarded as the finest of all varieties.
Introduced by Prof. Saunders of Ottawa, Canada,
the result of a cross between Red Fife and acclimated
Hard Red Calcutta wheat. It is earlier than Red
Fife and has out yielded all other spring wheats
wherever grown. In milling quality and appearance
it isin a Class by itself. Marquis Wheat grades num-
ber one almost every minute. It has won the first
prize for the best American wheat at all the Interna-
+ional Shows the past three years. True stock, fancy
Canadian grown. Wheat price changeable.

Price, peck, 60c; bu. $2.00; 2 bu. $3.85; 5 bu.

beat SPRING EMMER

Incorrectly called ‘‘SPELTZ’?

A grain especially suited for dry lands. Being
semi-hardy, it can be sown very early in the spring
like oats. Emmer grows best in the dry prairie
regions with hot summers, and even does well in
poor or stony ground. Itisa better drought and rust
resister than either Oats or Barley, and it also yields
considerably better. The feeding value is high.

Central Illinois Corn Belt, and is unexcelled. We have never
dared sell the regular full sized type of “‘ Reid’s” north of Kankakee
and La Salle counties. This strain of Reid’s differs from the
standard type only in running slightly smaller and with larger
cobs. Can be used in Cook County and westward as the finest,

IOWA SILVER MINE

One of the very best yielding White Dent Corns. Matures in

Creamy white in color, cylindrical shape, tapering only a little at
the tip; 18 to 20 rows; length, 9 inches; circumference, 714 inches,
kernels rough and deep, a little space between rows; cob small and
white. A fine shelling and high yielding variety. In good corn
weather ripens in 110 days. Our seed is grown by one of the most
famous Iowa breeders. Shelled only—however, every ear selected
and tipped and butted. Qt.,15c; peck, 75c; bu., $2.50; 4 bu., $9.00.

GOLD MINE

A Yellow Dent similar in its general characteristics to the Silver
Mine. Average about half an inch shorter than Silver Mine and
two rows less. The kernels are rough and deep. Cob small. In
certain sections of North Central Illmois and Iowa as far north as
Cedar Rapids, parts of Kansas and Nebraska—a standard sort.
This variety has not been as carefully bred as some sorts; however,
it has good points. Our seed is carefully selected, grown by a noted
breeder specialist on this variety. Shelled, selected, tipped
and butted, qt., 15c; peck., 75c; bu., $2.50; 4 bu., $9.00.

MADISON YELLOW DENT

This Corn is, we believe, the best Yellow Dent Corn ever introduced
for the vicinity of Chicago, Northwestern Indiana, Wisconsin and
Michigan. It grows to maturity in 100 to 105 days of ordinary Corn
weather, and is a wonderful yielder. The ear is a little smaller than
Reid’s Yellow Dent, but resembles the latter variety otherwise. Hars
844 inches long, 16 rowed, dark red cob. The kernels are deep,
closely set together in even rows, with just space enough to permié
drying, a very essential point in Northern Corn. Our Strain is grown
on our own farms in Central Michigan and Northern Illinois, and
under our direct supervision in the same localities. Price, shelled

this variety furnishes a large amount of fodder. Grows to a
height of 8 ft. on good soil. Hars medium size, 8 inches long,
16 rows, and taper toward the tip. The kernels show a good
Dent type and are of fair depth. It is not as well bred as yet
as Madison Yellow Dent. It is however, about 10 days earlier.

NORTH STAR. This variety which has featured in our catalog for
more than 25 years we have occasionally lost our crop of, but good
customers of ours in the vicinity of Baraboo, Wisconsin, have main=
tained a notable purity of selection and we renewed our planting stock
last spring. The resulting crop on our own farms this autumn has
proven very early, being dry and fit for seed purposes in September.

FODDER CORN 2342%¢2%
on bu. lots

The recent vast increase in planting corn for fodder has been mostly
due to substitution of this crop when too late for other things. Results
have clearly shown that fodder is a paying, necessary crop, especially
in dairying. All the different types of corn are planted for fodder,
practices varying in different localities. In Canada and New England
a flint variety like Longfellow is most in use; farther south the Harly
Dents or Leaming, many wanting partly or "wholly Tipened ears; in
the Central belt southern grown ensilage corns; while sweet corn for
dairying regions is used.

‘VAUGHAN’S HIGH-GRADE FERTILIZERS

The Yield and Quality of Vegetables Depend Upon Continuous and Rapid Growth

It has been demonstrated that market-garden crops of the best
quality are those which are grown under conditions which permit
of a continuous and rapid development. Any delay in the growth
of a lettuce or radish causes that sharp and pungent flavor of the
former and the bitterness and toughened fibre of the latter, beets

become stringy, etc. Plant food of the right amount and kind con-
trols the yield and quality of market- -garden-products more than
any other condition, and it is neither wise nor economical to depend
on the natural condition of the soil or the application of stable man-
ure only for profitable crops.

5—Round Reed; 6—Pine Needles; 7—Flat Reed; 8—-Wood Ribbon.

RAFFIA FIBRE FOR BASKETS, ETC.

Raffia is the name given to a long-leaved palm found on the Island of Mada-
gascar. The outer skin of the leaves is stripped off by the natives and tied in
long hanks or braids, after which it is packed in bales ready for shipment. As
a weaving material it is ideal, combining, as it does, softness and flexibility with
great strength. The strands average three feet in length; this gives it a decided
advantage over splints and grasses.

The Raffia which we import is the finest grade to be obtained on the island,
and should not be compared with the cheaper coarse material offered by many
and used principally as tying material in gardens and nurseries. Besides the
natural shade, we have it in 12 different colors, dark red, Irish green, olive green,
pea green, navy blue, seal brown, orange, black, old gold, pink, purple, bright
red, a sample of which will be mailed you upon request.

REEDS (RATTAN)

Since the recent awakening to the importance of basketry, Rattan has been
brought into marked prominence. Like Raffia, it is also a palm, growing to an
astonishing height, and found mainly in China and the Philippine Islands. Nos.
1 to 8 are the common sizes, 6 and 8 being used for the coarser work.

Sample card mailed upon request.

The European War has stopped the importation of same from Germany and
stocks are practically exhausted in the U. S. Write us for list of Reed and prices
when in the market. We expect to secure a supply from other sources and would
suggest to have you file your name with us for sample card and prices to be mailed
as soon as we secure a new supply of Reeds.

Raffia with charming effects. It possesses a delightful fragrance.

PRAIRIE STATE INCUBATOR

_ The Prairie State stands as the criterion in modern
incubator construction and design.

As evidence of the adaptability of Prairie State
Incubators—their latitude of efficiency under any
conditions and in any climate—we refer to their
equally successful operation in the heat of the West
Indies and the Tropics, or in the cold rugged climate
of northern Canada.

They are constantly in use in Australia, South Africa,
and in every part of the United States, in Florida, and
along the Gulf Coast, where humidity is high and where
it is low, and likewise in the highest and dryest eleva-
tions of the Rocky Mountains.

Their construction is such as to make them of high-
est utility in any ordinary room in summer or in winter,
without artificial heat in the coldest weather.

The Prairie State Incubator case is insulated, heavy
and permanent. - The heater is powerful and efficient,
ventilation is free, and humidity is automatically
supplied under every possible external condition. The
regulator is sensitive and automatic.

Prairie State Universal Hovers
Ea ECAC Sa LOVERS

This device is what is used in Prairie State colony brooders.
adaptability to so many varying conditions, the hover can be used in any style
of a box, brooder or colony house, having two feet square or more of space—re-
quires no cutting of floors, furnishes a top heat and does not weaken your chicks

with bottom heat.

The widest practice has conclusively demonstrated
the entire Prairie State make-up to be such as to insure
a latitude greater than that of any other incubator on
the market today.

An efficient, gas-tight heater of absolutely new
design, approved by the National Board of Fire Under-
writers, Inspected by their authorized inspectors, and
labeled by the Underwriters Laboratories, renders
every Prairie State Incubator INSURABLE in any
location without increased insurance rates. This heater
supplies a constant current of warm fresh air to the
upper part of the case which is distributed by apatent
metal radiator, inducing circulation and distributing
warm air to the cold parts of the machine by means of
eddy-currents, with consequent uniform distribution
under great ranges in temperature. The method in-
sures proper temperatures and proper ventilation, air
being applied at about the rate of ten cubic feet per
minute.
