SIX GRAND SPECIALTIES IN 


Vaughan’s XXX Pickling Cucumber 


We introduced the Chicago Pickle, and 
are always looking for any improvement 
reaching toward an ideal pickle for the home 
garden. We have made selections and had 
them made for us. We have imported and 
tried many kinds. We found one two years 
ago that seemed right, and the past season 
has satisfied us that this which we have 
named Vaughan's “XXX” is the best we 
have yet seen. The form, color and arrange- 
ment of spines is ideal. This Cucumber is 
unquestionably one of the best for pickling. 
It is one of the most productive and easiest 
to pick. Few fruits become overgrown, as 
the stems are long and the fruits protrude 
from under the leaves, We imported this 
Cucumber from Europe, where it has been 
grown in a Certain district famous for its 
pickles for a great many years. It is also one 
of the best Cucumbers for slicing, being very 
Crisp, solid and of the most agreeable flavor, 
quite distinct from most kinds. The seed we 
offer here is American grown. Pkt., 10c.; 
Y% OL. 15C.3 0%, 25¢.3 2 02, 40c.3 % Ib.,

VAUGHAN’S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES 
IN VEGETABLE SEEDS. 


The following list contains the best novelties in 
sight for this season, togerner with some of our 


best specialties of other years and those of other 
growers which we believe of decided merit. 


Early Giant 


Argenteuil Asparagus. 


This is the famous Paris specialty. The stalks grow 
to a mammoth size. When well grown some weigh four 
ounces. The head is slightly pointed and the scales 
with which it is covered are very closely set, overlapping 
one another. It is early and so very vigorous, it is but 
little troubled with rust. The flavor is superb. Our seed 
is from one of the largest Asparagus plantations near 
Paris. Wecan supply this year seed only. Pkt., 10c.; 
oz., 20c.; % Ib., 40c.; Ib., $1.35. 


Pole Bean, Earliest Giant, ««Advance.’’ 


This is the best all-round Pole Bean. It is the earli- 
est of all, being a week in advance of all others. Pole 
Beans yield larger crops than the Bush sorts, bear longer, 
are hardier and of better flavor. Pkt., 10c., 2 for 15c.; 
¥ pint, 20c. (by mail, 25c.); pint, 35c. (by mail, 43c.) 


New Pole Bean, «‘Burger’s Stringless.”’ 
This is one of the best Pole Beans. 
green and absolutely stringless. 


and white. The vines bear fora very long time. 
Uc, 2 for 25c; % pint, 25c. (by mail, 30c.) 


New Round Pod Kidney 


Wax Bean.’ 


The pods are long, 
The beans are small 
Pkt., 


. This bean is closely allied to the popular Wardwell's 
Kianey Wax, differing from that variety in that the pod 
is perfectly round, somewhat longer and entirely string- 
Jess. It isof the same seasona the Wardwell’s Kidney 
Wax, isa very prolific grower and a first-class yielder. 
The pod is very tender, meaty and entirely free from 
fibre or toughness, which characterizes the pods of 
many types. This new sort has great merit. Prices: Pkt., 
10c.; pint, 25c. (by mail, 33c.); qt., 40c. (by mail, 55c.); 
by express, 1% peck, $1.25; peck, $2.25; bush., $8.00. 


Garden Pride Bush Bean. 


Stringless Green Pod. A champion first early bean, 
positively stringless, and one of the most prolific bearers 
grown. It is a strong, rapid-growing vine, free from 
runner setting; the pods are very long, straight and 
medium round and delicate light green color. It has a 
pearly white seed. Price: Pkt., 15c.; % pint, 25c. (by 
mail, 30c.); pint, 40c. (by mail, 48c.); qt., 60c., (by 
mail, 75c.) 


Giant Scarlet Runner. 


The flowers are very large, brilliant scarlet, the pods 
grow to a length of 12 inches and the vines grow to 
10 to 15 feet. Pkt., [0c.; 3 for 25c. 


Two-Colored Fire Bean. Like the_well- 
known Scarlet 


Runner, but the flowers are part pink, part white. Very 
pretty and a splendid climber. Pkt., lOc. 


July Pole Bean. (Eight weeks.) One of the 
earliest, most productive of 


the Pole Beans, bearing from 4 to 6 pods on each 
flower tendril. The pods are thick and tender. Thisis 
the bean for the home garden, as it does not grow more 
than 5 or 6 feet high and can therefore be grown on 
bush like the tall Peas. Pkt., 15c.; 2 for 25c. 


Perpetual Spinach Beet, 


“‘Lyon.’”’ 


One of the most useful vegetables known, as it en- 
dures heat and cold with impunity, and when common 
spinach is running to seed this kind remains green and 
succulent and fit for table use all Summer and Fall. In 
this variety the stalks and midrib are of remarkable 
width, often 4 inches or more. These stalks are also 
eaten; they have a very agreeable and quite peculiar 
flavor. There are few vegetables which require less 
care during their growth or yield a more certain crop 
than this variety. Pkt., 0c.; oz, 20c. 

Our packets contain full cultural directions and rec- 
ipes how to prepare the leaves and stalks for the table.

Black Valentine, Bush Bean. 


Possesses all the merits of the Red Valentine, and, 
in addition, has other valuable points. The pod is fully 
one-third longer than the Red Valentine. The pods are 
perfectly round and straight, and of a beautiful green - 
color. Itis suitable for early and late planting. It is 
as useful as Extra Early Refugee, being equally as 
hardy in every respect as the Refugee, while the beans 
were produced in enormous quantities. For any pur- 
pose, or at any time of the year, this bean will be found 
exceedingly valuable. Pkt., 10c.; % pint, (5c. (by mail,

New Red Cabbage ‘‘Zenith.’’ 


The Best Red Cabbage up to date. The heads are 
very solid, of the richest deep blood-red, of medium 
size, fine ribbed and with but few outer leaves. It 
matures medium early and is a keeper. Pkt., !0c.; % 
0z., 20c.; 0z., 30c.; 2 ozs., 55c. 


; Cabbage, 
‘‘New Early Flat Head.’’ 


Improved Early Spring. This is a cross between 
Jersey Wakefield and Succession and its mixed blood 
is plainly shown in the stock, the leaves indicating the 
Wakefield :growth. It has the thick leathery leaves of 
the Wakefield and produces slightly rounded heads at 
practically the same date as the pointed Wakefield. The 
plant is dwarf growing and has but few outside leaves. 
A very reliable header. It is giving satisfaction wher- 
ever planted by gardeners. PKt., 10c.; '%4 oz., [5c.: 0z., 
25c.; 2 02., 40c.; % Ib., 65c.; Ib., $2.25. 


New Savoy Cabbage, 
‘‘All Head.’’ 


The heads of this Cabbage are conjcal, extremely 
solid, all head, with hardly any outer leaves. It comes 
in after the ‘‘Iron Head,” and in flavor resembles that 
of Brussels Sprouts. Pkt., JOc.; % 0Z., 25c.; oz., 40c. 


New Celery, ‘“‘Snow White.’’ 


A pure white, self-blanching variety without a rival 
in purity ofcolor.. In vigor of growth, ease of blanch- 
ing, size, richness of flavor, crispness and purity it is 
ideal. It grows solid on all kinds of soil; keeps better 
than many standard varieties. Single stalks sometimes 


| weigh 2% pounds and quite frequently 2 pounds each. 


Pkt.,10c.; % oz., 15c.; oz., 25c.; 2 ozs., 40c.; % Ib., 75c.; 
Ib., $2.50, postpaid. 


MorcGan Co., ILt.: We think your “Snow 
White” Celery very fine. Stalks pure white, crisp 
andtender. It is very easily blanched and there is 
but little waste. A number of stalks are very large, 


measuring from 9 to 11% inches in circumference 
(tape firmly drawn) and 33 inches in height. The 
fully blanched stalks were 29 inches.

Grand Rapids Forcing Cucumber. 


This originated with Mr. Davis, the raiser of the 
Davis Wax Bean and Grand Rapids Forcing Lettuce. It 
embodies his ideals of a greenhouse cucumber, in regard 
to size, shape, color and productiveness. Thiscucumber 
is the result of many years of selection and of reselec- 
tion. We secured Mr. Davis’ entire stock of seed, which 
is very small, although we paida very handsome price 
forthesame. It is avery shy seeder. This cucumber 
has been shipped for several seasons to some Chicago 
commission men who have always found for ita ready 
sale even in preference to home-grown stock. 

Price, pkt. (65 seeds), $1.00 net. 


Broad-Leaved Endive. 


Scarole or Escariol. 

This is one of the most palatable of vegetables, too 
little known. The leaves make delicious ‘‘Greens” dur- 
ing the summer and fall, cooked the same as Dandelion 
2 or Spinach. When cooked the leaves have a most 

é ; pleasant flavor, quite similar to Dandelion.’ Sow in a 
Tow in the vegetable garden, about the same as lettuce.

broad and thick, of 
most attractive form, and of the finest flavor. _ i 
The skin is a rich, lustrous, purplish black. This intensely bril- 
liant coloring is uniform over the whole fruit and does not fade or 
change to a lighter color at the blossom end. The calyx, which | 
attaches the fruit to the stem, is bright green, contrasting finely with the dark 
satin skin of the fruit, and is entirely rree from spines or thorns. The fruits set 
most freely and are ready to market early, so that the entire crop can be gathered 
before there is any danger of frost, while of the New York Improved Purple

Drumhead Kale. 


This delicious new vegetable partakes of the nature 
-and appearance of a Kaleand a Cabbage combined. The 
outer leaves resemble the Kale and the heart is that of 
a Cabbage. The delicately flavored midribs of the 
leaves are as tender as asparagus. It is dwarf in habit, 
perfectly hardy,and a most useful winter vegetable. 
Pkt., 10c.; 1% oz., 15c.; oz., 30c. 


Kale-Purple Ostrich Plume. 


This is the most beautiful of the ornamental Kales. 
It should be in every flower garden, shrub or perennial

This is by all odds the best Kale in existence. The plants grow 
from 18 to 24 inches high and produce as many as 50 usable leaves toa

New Lettuce, ‘‘Unrivalled.’’ 


An improvement on the famous Big Boston Lettuce, 
possessing all the good qualities of this kind, viz: Earli- 
ness, large size, attractive color, etc. Its additional value 
lies in the fact that it can be sown almost the whole year 
round; it resists summer heat remarkably well, is crisp 
and solid when othersorts become tough and flabby under

The roots of this new Mangel are 
more valuable, pound for pound, than 
those of the best strains of Sugar 
Beets, supplying food of very much 
higher nutritive value, and not only 
are they of better quality, but they 
yield more than twice as much. As 
shown in the above illustration the 
roots gtow partly out of the ground 
which renders the harvesting of the

THE MAGNUM DULCE PEPPER.—This enormous variety appeared 
several years ago in the fields of T. M. White, Little Silver, N. J., and is most 
likely across between Chinese Giant and Ruby King. It differs from the 
former in greater length, while retaining the full thickness, some specimens 
reaching almost eight inches, thicker flesh and increased productiveness. It 
is probably the largest pepper grown, and has been introduced to the trade by 
Vaughan’s Seed Store, New York and Chicago, under the name of ‘‘Magnuim 
Dulce.” The plantis vigorous and rapidin growth, ripening the great pep- 
pers early for a large variety. The coloris bright scarlet, quality mild and 
For market and home use it is not excelled by any large fruited pep- 
per, and is particularly valuable for those who wish to grow the largest possible 


fruits for exhibition purposes.’'—DR. VAN FLEET, in ‘Rural New Yorker.’

most desirable for forcing. In the open ground 
the roots continue brittle, crisp and mild until 
they are fully as iarge as those of the Long Car-

or Wurzburger Forcing. 

This new radish is an entirely’ new type, 
and differs radically from all the varieties 
hitherto in cultivation, in so far asits roots 
attain more than double the size of those of 
other forcing varieties, without getting 
pithy or hollow. This giant radish develops 
roots of 6to 7 inches in circumference and 
over an ounce in weight, their pure white 
flesh remaining firm and crisp and of the 
mildest flavor, but notwithstanding the ex- 
traordinary size and weight of its bulbs it is 
second to none as a forcing variety. Itis 
equally well adapted to outside culture. The 
seed should be sown very thinly to permit 
full development of the roots. Pkt., [0c.;

Vegetable Marrow. 


This is one of the most important vegeta- 
bles in the English markets, but little known 
in thiscountry. The fruit is generally eaten 
when itis less than half grown, as the flesh 
is then very tender and marrowy. It should 
always be used in a young state. Our pack- 
ages contain cultural directions and recipes

The Delicious Squash. 


The Best Flavored Squash in Existence. 


Its color is almost uniformly of a green shade with occasionally a 
blue specimen, it being just about as pure in this respect as was the 
original Hubbard. In sizeit also closely follows the original Hubbard, 
which weighed between five and ten pounds. In thickness of flesh it 
surpasses nearly every variety, the color being a dark orange. For 
table use no squash compares with it in its remarkable combination of 
fineness and compactness of grain, dryness, sweetness and exceeding 
richness of flavor. It is a fall and winter squash, being excellent 
at all seasons; but does not acquire its best quality until winter.

double the size of Dwarf Champion, and yet equally as early. It is fully

of the best Dwarf sorts. one that will meet with general favor, especially with 
the class of growers where economy in saving land must be taken into 
account. The strong, upright habit of growth of New Dwarf Stone admits 
planting, at least a half closer each way than usual. In small gardens set 
18x24 inches apart each way. The shape of the fruit is perfect, with a 
good skin, which is free from cracks about the stem end. It is very solid, 
ripens very evenly; and is of most excellent quality. Pkt., 10c.; 1% oz.,

A Word to Our Customers for 1905 


Competition. 


While our prices here printed are so evidently reasonable that seemingly noth- 
ing is to be said regarding them, yet there areso many seeds of doubtful pedigree, 
weak vitality, and undesirable quality generally, offered for sale, that we ask our 
customers to remember that Vaughan’s Seed Store will not buy or handle at any 
price vegetable or flower seeds unless raised by experienced growers from stock 
seeds of known purity and genuineness. 

Therefore, we do not believe because you see seeds or plants offered by other 
firms under similar names that the same are equal in real value to ours, for often 
they will fill orders with seeds that we would not send out at any price. 


About Seed Crops. 


The past season has been generally a good one for seed crops both in this 
country andin Europe. There are very few short items of these, the principal one 
is beans, whichis short for the third season. Dwarf Peas anda few varieties of 
vines seeds principally musk melon are the other scarce seeds. Low prices on 
these seeds should be scanned with suspicion. Scarce items always bring out old 
and inferior stocks, which ordinarily would be unsaleable. Our stocks are grown 
especially for us, inspected and tested by us for purity and germination. 


Humbug Novelities. 


For 28 years our claims for the merits of the seedsor plants, old or new, offered 
by us, have been most conservative. What a long list of exploded Big Promise 
Novelties have been tried in American gardens during that time with disappoint- 
ing results. - 

Gardeners. 


We shall be pleased to render assistance to our customers who may require 
gardeners atany time. Weare keeping a list of gardeners who are seeking situa- 
tions. There is no fee.

VAUGHAN’S SEED STORE 


WESTERN SPRINGS, ILL. 


Knowing the Business. 


Seeds, like drugs, require expert knowledge to handle and sell them. 
Seeds are of little value for pleasure or profit when bought through inexperi- 
enced hands, and from unknown or doubtful sources. Our stock books show 
tecord of grower, date of crop, and vitality test of all seeds sold by us. We 
sell large packets of fresh seeds, the best of their kind, and worth as much 
more than penny packets as we ask for them. 


True Descriptions. 


We have made most careful comparisons through our entire lists, both in 
our own trials and careful observation of many European testing grounds, and 
our descriptions of all varieties here offered will be found as true as we can 
make them. The merits of one kind are compared with those of similar sorts, 
thus enabling the purchaser to arrive at some intelligent opinion of their real 
merits. 


Our Mail-Order Business. 


We have the best equipment possible for the handling of Mail Orders. 
That is the larger part of our business. Our eniployes are experienced and 
are employed here the year around. Your orders are not handled by clerks 
employed only for the busy season. We send all plants and seeds prepaid 
except when otherwise stated. We fill all orders the first or second day by 
mail or express, except plants in freezing weather. 


Our Two Retail ' Stores. 


In Chicago and New York our retail stores are in the center of the trading 
districts. At either of these stores you can choose from 2,000 different kinds 
of seeds. We have clerks who are experienced. We have expert gardeners to 
advise you. Our knowledge of horticulture is at the service of our customers. 
Any inquiry that you wish to make will be answered by an expert.

Seed buying should not be decided on the claim of cheapness, 
the quality and not the price should be the consideration. 

The matter of saving a trifle of a few cents is nothing com- 
pared to the loss of labor, ground and perhaps the entire crop with 
the added disappointment when seeds are bought for low prices,

Asparagus isa gross feeder. The earliness, tenderness, size and commercial 
value of the product depends principally on the rapidity of its growth, and as 
thisis materially promoted by the richness of the soil, the plants should receive 
all the food they can assimilate during the growing season.

applied at the rate of 1500 pounds per acre, or one pound to three 
plants at the time the bed is made, and the same amount each year at two 
applications. The first application as soon as the snow is gone in the spring 
and the second as soon as the cutting season is finished. Price. 25 Ibs., 70c.;

i Some early vegetables such as Let- 
Asparagus to Perfection. tuce, Cabbage, Celery, Spinach and 


Asparagus are hastened and the quality improved a hundred per cent. 
by the application of Nitrate of Soda, in addition to the Manure regularly 
used. This applies particularly to Asparagus, as it not only makes larger 
stalks and improves the quality but by the added vigor enables it to far better 
withstand the rust, in fact it usually overcomes this entirely. 

The time to apply it with best results is as soon as the shoots first appear 
and again in ten days, first pulverizing the Nitrate of Soda then sowing it broad- 
cast over the entire bed. at the rate of one pound for three plants or 100 pounds 
per acre at each application. Price (subject to market changes), 5 Ibs., 30c.;

Vaughan’s Earliest Dwarf Erfurt. 


The very best for forcing and earliest in open ground. 


Caulifiower:seed should be thoroughbred. Erfurt best strains have a fifty- 
year pedigree. Some are so high bred that with perfection in bloom comes 
weak constitution. Such plantsdo not average a good seed crop once in three 
years; hence the best is dear and scarce. Vaughan’s Earliest Dwarf Erfurt 
combines all. pedigree points, earliness, purity of color, dwarf habit, fine 
grain. This seed will produce cauliflowers worth the highest market price. 
It cannot be sold cheap for above reasons, but the shrewdest gardeners find it 
the most profitable. Lb., $30.00; ¥ Ib., $8.50; 2 0z., $4.50; 0z., $2.50; 4%

Plume, and greatly superior in quality. It is ready for use nearly as early, producing dwarfer and 
much larger bunches of broad, heavy stalks, blanching to a deep golden yellow. The handsome 
color, crispness, tenderness, freedom from stringiness and nutty flavor of this variety make it only 
necessary to be tried in order to establish it as the standard of excellence as an early sort. We can

Kolb’s Gem as to good shipping qualities can be truthfully stated in a higher 
degree of the Black Diamond. All the praise of high quality bestowed on the 
Sweetheart can be repeated of our new melon, but its prominent point of merit is 
its extreme size—no melon ever yet produced anything like so uniformly large 
fruit, nor approached it in productiveness. Melons weighing from 75 to 90 
pounds are frequent. If IS THE MOST PROLIFIC WaTER MELON EVER PLANTED.

Farm Yard Manure. 


Market gardeners are in the habit of using from 50 to 100 tons of stable 
manure every year, They will tell us that they might as well stop gar- 
dening as stop manuring, and they will continue to use year after year such 
enormous quantities of manure containing no ready formed nitric acid, 
which is the main source of nitrogenin plants. If they receivethe manure 
for nothing, the labor of hauling it, handling and distrbuting it costs more 
than the amount of nitric acid which it naturally yields by decomposition 
in the soil could be purchased forin the form of nitrate of soda, and in 
these market gardens the soil is so charged with carbonic acid that it ex- 
cludes the oxygen and decomposition proceeds very slowly, and to produce 
the necessary quantity of nitric acid more and more manure must be used. 
Try nitrateof soda. It acts like magic; it will pay ten times over,

Reliable Onion Seed. 


For many years we have supplied the leading growers in the Michigan, Iowa 
and Illinois Onion districts with their seed, and during all that time we have 
realized the importance of good seed as our catalogues from year to year have 
fully indicated. Probably no vegetable in the entire seed list is of greater general 
importance than Onions grown ftom seed or sets. We devote this page especially 
to notable varieties, wishing to emphasize the possibilities of money making 
in growing Onions.

New Late White ‘‘NebrasKa.’”’ 


This new late potato has attracted a great dealof attention for a number 
of years in Eastern Nebraska. A yearago in a very wet season when other pota- 
toes in that locality rotted and failed this variety grew unharmed and bore a heavy 
crop. This year our crop in the Red River Valley in a dry season out-yielded 
Rural New Yorker and Carman No.3. In shape the potato is somewhat flatter 
than the Rural; same color, a little better flavor. Hasallthe good qualities of 
Rural besides being a better yielder and hardier. Mr. E. L. Coy, the well known 
producer of many varieties highly recommends this sort: F. A. Huebner another 
famous potato grower says ‘‘an extra good yielder and remarkable good quality.” 

It should certainly be given a trial.

Our stock of this is the best. Some years ago we secured stock 
seed of just the kind that was wanted by the most critical hotel 
and grocery trade, and had it grown for us, paying av extra 
price for special and critical selection. This seed is raised from 
transplanted roots, and is just right in color, size and shape.

The extra early forcing Radishes lately intro-

leaves; they develop their roots in so short a 
time that the latter are practically in advance of 
the leaves. This character is still more notice- 
able in this new variety. he seed leaves, which 
are large from the start, are the only green parts 
to be seen until the bulbs are almost large 
enough for pulling. Only at that time one or 
two short leaves are produced. ‘The roots are of

, tothe common Beet for greens and equal to Spinach. Sown 
early in the Spring, in rows 16 inches apart, and the seed- 
lings afterward thinned out to 6 inches in the rows, it 
makes rapid growth of leaves, and is fit for use for greens 
sooner than any other variety. For Summer use it is 
superior to Spinach, because it can be cut throughout the 
entire Summer and Fall, when no Spinachis to be had. It 
is of almost the same flavor and it is much easier to wash 
and prepare for the table. Later the leaves grow very large, with broad, 
flat, beautifully white, wax-like stems and mid-ribs, which may be 
cooked like Asparagus or made into most attractive pickles. Our

New Double Hybrid Hollyhocks 
Ever Blooming 


Bloom From Seed the First Year. 


807. Hollyhocks are undoubtedly 
among the most ornamental and hand- 
some garden flowers, with their tall 
spikes, dotted all the way up with large 
double flowers in all the colors of the 
rainbow. They fit in the smallest garden 
and can be used with great effect in all 
kinds of borders, shrubbery, against the 
house, or along the fence, they are always 
handsome, pleasingand ornamental. Like 
most things, however, they are not with- 
out alfault and that isthe fact that the 
plants must be at least one year old be- 
fore they produce flowers. That means 
delay and possiblyloss during the winter 
which is one reason why we do not see 
them oftener. ‘ 

' This new strain possesses all the vir- 
tues of the double old-fashioned Holly- 
hocks with the additional advantage of 
blooming from seed the first year. Plants 
started from seed sown in March or April 
in the house or hot bed, transplanted in 
May into their permanent place, will

the upper lip is adorned in the center by a spot varying in 
shade between golden yellow, carmine, rose and bright brown. 
These lovely Schizanthus, literally covered as thev are with

-1513.-The type and form of these is a 
complete departure from anything yet intro- 
duced. Both the.wings and standard are 
very large, and its graceful form, together 
with the immense size, makes it by far the 
most attractive variety in existence. There 
are five or six distinct shades contained in 
this mixture, but all are of the large flower- 
ingtype and of the same form. The different 
shades it contains are as follows: Deep 
pink, light pink, ovid shade, orange pink,

School Gardens 


This movement has been most 
rapidin Europe, where are today 
more than 100,000 school gardens. 
In America, the school garden 
movement is gaining ground rap- 
idly. The child’s garden certainly 
brings his life more near to that of 
the country than any other form of 
study. A greataid to nature-study. 
Measuring and marking the gar 
den and planting the seed give the 
child practical mathematics. 
Even business can be taught where 
the products of the garden are 
sold. The systematic care of 
tools, the order in- doing things, 
the habits of close observation ac- 
quired by the child will be invalu- 
able to him. 

Garden work has many advant- 
ages for both boys and girls. The 
life in open air and sunshine fur- 
thers their physical development. 

We have furnished seeds to 
schools and for distribution among 
poor children. Weare well equip- 
ped to supply the needs both in 
vegetableand flower seeds and we 
will be glad to correspond with 
teachers or others who desire to

in quantities. We wz7/l make special

Ageratum. 


One of the best of Summer-flowering plants grown from 
seeds, The plants start readily, grow rapidly and soon come into 
bloom, and when they begin to bloom they flower uninterrupt- 
edly throughout the season. During the hot,dry summer 
months there are no brighter or more freely produced flowers. 
Set the dwarf sorts 10 inches apart, they soon make a low mass 
of charming blue or white, and are never disappointing. 


56—Princess Pauline. A most distinct and novel 
variety of dwarf compact habit, rarely exceeding five inches in 
height, its peculiarity being that both colors, blue and white, are 
combined in the same flower; the body of the flower being 
white, the stamens are of a light sky-blue, giving the fowera 
pretty variegated appearance. PkKt., 5c.; 4 0z., 20c.

Sweet Alyssum. 


67—The Sweet Alyssum is one of the finest hardy annuals we have, and 
is beloved by many on account of its modest blossoms very similar to white 
Forget-me-nots. It is pleasantly fragrant, and just the thing for personal adorn- 


ment or for the breakfast table. 


It begins to blossom early in the season and blooms more or. less constantly 
until Fall, It isa fine plant for edgings or borders. It isa neat, thrifty, healthy 
grower and should be cultivated by every one who wants an all around gocd 
plant. Sow the seed wherever they are to remain. . If too thick, thin out. %0z.,

Alyssum Vaughan’s Little Gem. 


70—This should really be called the “Snow White Carpet Plant,” for the piants 
which are only a few inches high, grow so dense and are so completely covered with snow-white 
blossoms, they create the impression of a beautiful carpet spread over the ground. We know of 
no other white flower which is so particularly well adapted to borders, ribbons, etc.. as our 
“Little Gem’ Alyssum. The plants commence to bloom when quite small, and will flower unin- 
terruptedly all Summer long till latein the Fall.

EARLY 


537 — Grace, daintiness and brilliancy are the 
characteristics of this pretty flower, with its yellow heart 
encircled with broad, deep-like petals, carried on long 
slender stems which rise from a cloud of feathery foliage. 
It is very pretty for vases and lasts often a week in the 
house when cut. A couple of years ago the Cosmos 
bloomed with the Chrysanthemum, and, being rather 
more tender, often diedan untimely death by frost just 
at its first blossoming, so that it was almost useless to 
plant it in Northern sections, but since this Early 
Flowering strain has been produced it may now be had 
in bloom from July to November. It grows and 
blooms with the greatest freedom in any soil, but 
repays right royally the best care you can give it.

But few people know that Dahlias can be raised 
from seed and will bloom the first year. The 
seed we offer, if sown early, will bloom profusely all 
Fall. The seeds germinate as easily and certainly 
as Zinnias, and from the very first development are 
strong stocky 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 border 
in the garden, and from then out they will 
prove no more trouble than if the tubers had 
been used instead of seed.

ORNAMENTAL GOURDS, 
A GOOD CLIMBER. 

These are rapid growing climbers, there- 
fore desirable for many places where an im- 
mense amount of vine is wanted quickly. 
Most sorts are good for twenty to thirty feet 
in a season and the blossoms of some are 
quite striking and handsome. Particularly 
is this the case with the Luffa or Dish Cloth 
Gourd. With all sorts the fruit is unique and orna- 
mental, and often useful, If you have an old tree, 
dead or nearly so, Gourds will cover it to perfection, 
The small, fancy Gourds are excellent toys for chil- 
dren, while the larger Gourds may be used as dip- 
pers, sugar troughs, or bowls.

distinct feature. When the fruits ripen they 
turn a brilliant orange and yellow, and are then 
highly ornamental. These ripe fruits will keep

Vaughan’s ‘Special Mixture” of 


Japanese Morning Glories. 


1033—Their varieties of color are infinite, running from snow-white through 
all possible shades of blue and of red from palest pink to darkest reds and purples. 
They are streaked, mottled, striped, marbled and bordered in wonderful fashion 
and sometimes show rare shadings of ash-gray, bronze, terra cotta, brown and 
slate-blue, colors rarely found in any other flowers. The leaves are also very 
handsome; some are ivy-like, others are heart shaped, some are rich green, while 
others are streaked and marbled with white and silvery gray or yellow, others 
with choicest flowers, have rich golden leaves. They grow like weeds any- 
where in the sun or shade, but the seeds germinate a little slower than those of 
the common Morning Glory, and it is well to soak them in water for twenty-four 
hours before sowing. This mixture contains a finer and larger collection of colors

VAUGHAN’S PHLOX 


The Phloxes are certainly amongst the showiest and most easily managed of all hardy 
annuals. They grow wellin almost any garden soil, and from June until October maintain 
an endless display of brilliant and varied colored flowers, A fine effect is obtained by plant- 
ing the beds with different colors so they harmonize. The plants will be more bushy and 
cover the bed better if pinched back while small. They are of easy culture, but do best in a 
rich soil, For early plants, seed should be sown in boxes in the house, or sown in the open 
ground as soonas the weather will permit. When two or three inches high they should be 
transplanted five or six inches apart, where they are to grow.

New Large Flowering Hybrids. An Ever- 
Blooming Primrose. 

1376—This is one of the most useful flowering 
plants. If sown early in Spring the seedlings 
will commence to bloom in May or June and 
continue to flower throughout the whole year. 
The flowers are of a soft lilac, pink, rose, laven- 
der or crimson and very charming. It is one of 
the most useful Primulas for pot culture, and 
also succeeds well in the open border during the 
Summer months. The new large flowering 
Hybrids are an improvement on the old type in 
size of flowers, which are about double their 
size and are borne on stiffer stems well above 
the foliage, and they also show a marked im- 
provement incolors. Pkt. (100 seeds), 10c.

months after sowing and continues to produce 
flowers for ten months in succession. The flowers 
are very graceful not quite half an inch across 
and are of a most pleasing rose color with a yel- 
low eye. They are borne on erect stems 10 to 12 
inches high in tiers, and remain fresh forovera 
week after being cut, new buds opening every 
day. The plant isa vigorous grower, thrives in

varieties of the Rudbeckia bicolor superba. The plants form elegant bushes of 


2 to 2% feet in height, covered with large, semi-double, golden yellow to brownish 
yellow flowers, which havea central dark brown ring and disk. As concerns size 
and form of the flowers, they closely resemble those of the double flowering 


Zinnias and are on account of their long stems very useful for cutting purposes.

very delicately and beautifully penciled and veined. These plants stand the sun

The plants should not be raised for two successive

Sweet peas should not be planted on the same ground 


after culinary peas. 


Excessive manuring with stable manure in the row 
immediately before sowing the seed is not desirable. 
Ground intended for sweet peas, if not left in good con-

manuring the previous Fall rather than at the Spring 


seeding. 


The use of artificial fertilizers, bone meal, nitrate of

TYPES OF “ VAUGHAN’S BEST ’’ VERBENA MIXTURE. 


VERBENAS. 


Verbenas are one of our best annuals, and by many 
people are preferred to the Phlox, Aster or Pansy. 
Nothing is easier to grow, and the display they give 
during the Summer is equalled only by the Phlox. 
Sow them early and they will bloom for you con- 
stantly from June until frost time. 

1706—Pink and Carmine Shades, This 
new mammoth strain embraces remarkably lovely 
tints from light and dark rose to deep carmine. The 
flowers are of exceptionally large size, and are borne 
in splendid trusses. Pkt., 10c. 

1707—Firefly. A mammoth Verbena, which 
comes quite true from seed, and is entirely distinct 
by its grand trusses of brilliant red flowers with 
large pure white eye. Pkt., 15c.

best and largest of all white Verbenas. Pkt., 10c.

1709—Mayflower. This isof thesametrailing 
habit as the Arbutus or Mayflower, its branches 
creeping over the ground and hugging it closely. Its 
blossoms are of the same shape and about the same 
size. The new Verbena Mayflower has all these 
characteristics, with the additional merit of possess- 
ing the same lovely and delicate pink and white 
coloring, makingits flowers closely like the Arbutus; 


and, last, it has the same exquisite fragrance. Pkt.

1710—Mammoth, Mixed, The individual 


flowers are allof unusual size and also embraces

ANNUAL WALLFLOWER. 


41753—The old English Wallflower is 
a favorite everywhere,but it cannot be 
grown in this country as well as it 
can in England, owing to the fact 
that it cannot stand our Winters in the 
open ground. This serious difficuly is 
overcome in this mew strain. Seed sown 
in the open giound the first of May will 
commence blooming by the first of July 
and if started earlier in the house or in 
hotbeds, they can be had in profusion 
from early in June until late Autumn. as 
they cont.nue blooming through Autumn 
frost without injury. The blossoms are 
of large size and borne in compact, short 
spikes and are exceedingly sweet-scented. 
The plants are not injured by Fall frosts

Tuberous Rooted 
Begonias 


This showy flower has become very popular and 
deservedly so, as they are perhaps the handsomest 
of all Summer flowering tuberous rooted plants. To 
those of our customers who are tired of planting 
Geraniums every year we would recommend their 
trying a bed of Begonias as a substitute. They will 
succeed in any rich well drained soil, and prefer a 
position where they will be protected from the direct 
tays of the sun during the hottest part of the day. 
They also make fine pot plants for the conservatory 
or window garden. They may be had in both single 
and double sorts iu the following colors:

THE BEST AND 


LARGEST GLADIOLUS 
dat IN EXISTENCE. 2# 


HIS magnificent variety, grown and developed 

by Dr. Van Fleet, of whom we purchased his 

entire stock, and introduced by us in 1903, is the 
largest and most effective and graceful of all Gladioli. 
It grows from 3% to 4 feet high under ordinary gar- 
den conditions; its handsome foliage is a grand 
setting for the brilliant Amaryvllis-like blooms which 
open more widely than any other variety, a charac- 
teristic it receives from G. cruentus, the mother 
species. The color is rich crimson with intense shad- 
ings in the throat, and broad white blotches across the 
lower petals. The flowers range from 5 éo 6 inches in 
diameter, and can be grown to nearly 8 inches under 
stimulating culture. The petals are very wide and 
much rounded, forming an almost circular flower. 
From three to six of these immense and brilliant 
blooms are expanded at a time on each spike, 
which often produces 16 to 18 flowers during its 
development, Princeps is a most striking variety 
and the rate of increase is such that in time it can 
be produced in large quantities for bedding pur- 
poses as well as for cutting and exhibition. It 
endures the sun and wind well, and opens perfectly 
to the last bud in water. It blooms normally in 
August, but may be had late in October by delaying 
planting it. It forces splendidly.

GLADIOLUS MIXTURES 


It isa well-known fact that some varieties of Gladiolus multiply much 
more rapidly than others and as a result Gladiolus grown in mixture, unless 
very carefully watched, will deteriorate very rapidly. Recognizing this fact 
we make all of our mixtures of these bulbs ourselves, using named varieties 
and mixtures of proven merit, by this method we can safely guarantee our 
customers satisfaction when buying our mixtures. 


We believe this to be the best mixture of Gladiolus ever offered to the 
public at a nominal price. We have composed the same from the choice 
varieties mentioned on this page, also including the famous Childsii, Lemoines 
and Nancejanus sorts. Buyersin want of something “really good” in Gladi- 
olus will make no mistake in securing a quantity of this most superb mixture.

This is a wonderfully healthy, rapid growing and graceful

in preference to the finest Palms or Rubber Plants. Thrives 
in all rooms: gas or furnace heat does not seem tO injure it. 
Fronds are often six to seven feet long, a 4-inch plant increas- 
ing to 10-inch size in a year, besides making many new off- 
shoots. A good sized plant contains from 20 to 40 fronds, and. 
the fresh ones continually coming out with mew growth are 
very beautiful. Best of all for hanging baskets. Our plants 
ere all well established in pots, not weak runners torn loose

Newport, R. I.— The New “Baby Rambler”’ 
Rose, Madame Norbert Levavasseur seems to me to 
be rightly named everblooming, as it has flowered 
continuously with me since the middle of June and 
at the present time is one mass of unexpanded buds 
on the last made growths, besides the large bunches 
of open blossoms on the previous growths. I think 


it an Ideal Bedding Rose and no doubt in the future 


‘wil! be largely used for that purpose. 
ARTHUR GRIFFIN, 
Head Gardener to Elbridge T. Gerry, Esq. 


The New Rose—‘‘Baby Rambler.’’ 


Blooms all the time. The best red 
pot or bedding rose in the world. 
Same color as the climbing Crimson 
Rambler with clusters of from 20 to 40 
open flowers at one time. It blooms 
every day from May until November, 
if planted out and in pots all the year 
round. It has created a wonderful 
sensation. Is perfectly hardy.

The royal purple of this splendid, everblooming flower 
may well be said to mark it as a prince amongall hardy 
flowering vines. We presume every one of our customers 
who sees it bloom each Summer promises to plant it in his 
own yard or garden at the next opportunity. It is especially 
adapted to open lawns or house fronts in the city or country. 
Perfectly hardy; blooms the entire season, bearing beautiful 
and lasting flowers. The varieties we offer here are those best 
adapted to our climate. 

Plant in a sunny spot in good garden soil, dug very deep, 
placing the crown of the roots % inches below the surface of 
the soil. We recommend the application of well-rotted manure 
in holes a few inches away from the plant in opposite directions. The feeding 
roots reach out to these holes, which may be watered freely, with better success 
than when the manure is applied directly to the base of the plant. 

SPECIAL NOTICE } On account of the brittleness of the bark on Clematis, 
VFEUIAL NULIVES jt cracks very easily, and many people believe the 
plant to be permanently injured when such is not thecase. We issue this notice 
on account of the numerous letters we get on the subject. We wish to say also 
that we examine all plants carefully before shipping, to see that they are in 
good condition, and if they die after being received in good order we do 
not agree to replace them. =

VINES 


(CONTINUED. ) 


Small Flowered Clematis 
CLEMATIS PANICULATA. 


A vine of very rapid growth, quickly covering trellises and 
arbors with handsome, clean glossy green foliage. The flowers 
are of medium size, pure white, borne in immense sheets and 
of a most delicious and penetrating fragrance. The flowers 
appear in September, at a season when few other vines are 
in bloom. The extreme rapidity of growth, the showy foliage, 
beautiful and fragrant flowers and hardihood serve to make 
this one of the very choicest of recent introductions. Each, 
20c.; 3 for 50c. 2-year field grown plants, each, 40c.3 
doz., for $4.00; 100 for $20.00. Large 3 and 4-year-old

Yellow Clematis (Graveolens). Single bright yellow. 
The flowers are four-pointed star-shaped and are larger 
than those of the Paniculata, being 214 to 3 inches in 
diameter, and are borne in large long panicles through- 
out the late Summer and Fall till frost comes. The vine 
is a vigorous, rapid grower, entirely unaffected by Clematis 
diseases, and forms a splendid covering for ‘an arch or trel- 
lis. The fern-like foliage is handsome in itself, being en- 
tirely different from any other Clematis. The bright 
lemon color of the flower is very pleasing, and this is the only 
Clematis having any yellow coloring. Strong 2-year-old 
field plants, each, 50c.; 3 for $1.25; 6 for $2.00.

nea and the free-flowering habit of the Jackmanni. Theshape 
of the flowers is more on the order of the Coccinea, being 
bell-shaped. The colors are varied, being all shades of blue, 
lavender and purple, as well as rose, pink and red. The plants

Green crops plowed under are one of the best and cheapest 
way of improving the soil. For this purpose the Cow Pea is 
\if excellent, especially for medium or light soil. They should be 

Y sown in May or June, at the rate of 14% bushels to the acre. and 
plowed under as soon as they have attained their full growth. 
While this cropis very largely grown wherever known, with 
the results obtained fromit, the wonder is that it is not grown 
ten times as much as at present. There is no surer or cheaper 
means of improving poor soil than by sowing Cow Peas. In 
its capacity asa nitrogen gatherer its growth largely enables 
the farmer to dispense with the use of nitrogen or ammoniated 
fertilizers. Nitrogen or ammonia in commercial fertilizers is 
valued at15 cents per pound. The Cow Pea, toa greater extent 
than any other leguminous crop, with possibly the exception 
of the New Velvet Bean, described alongside, has the power to 
extract this costly nitrogen or ammonia from the atmosphere. 

Cow Peas for Hay. If planted early, say the middle of May, 
in the central corn belt section, a crop can be cut and cured for 
hay the same asclover, then the stubble in a short time will put 
out a new growth to be turned under in the fall asa fertilizer. 

The best varieties for all purposes are the following.

EGYPTIAN CLOVER—BERSEEM. This is an Annual Clover, | 
and also a Winter Clover for warm countries where irrigation is 
2 practiced. Under such conditions it grows with remarkable 
tapidity, outgrowing most weeds, and yielding one of the most 
. nutritious and palatable fodders known. It resembles Alfalfa. 
The flower heads are white, but in form like Red Clover. The 
stalks are very succulent and the whole plant more delicate 
than either Clover or Alfalfa, and is eaten by domestic animals 
with great relish. The root system.of Berseem is remarkable 
for its abundant nodules or knots, fullofnitrogen. Itis not 
suited to cultivation on dry soils. The special value of this 
4 crop is its use as a green fodder, having the most marvelous fat- 
tening and conditioning properties. Its ability to run out 
weeds is greatly in its favor. It is wonderful as a food for 
milch cows. Itis alsovaluable asahaycrop. For spring for- 
age in the northwest, planted after the frosts are over, in the 
moist climates of Washington and Oregon, it should rotate with 
= wheat. Its roots greatly increase the fertility of the soil. Sow

THe LINCOLN OAT. 


Introduced a few years since from Minnesota, it has proven 
of excellent value and made a place foritselfas astandard kind 
of real merit. The following are a few points of its excellence: 
It is very productive, having im all instances yielded more to 
the acre than any other sort grown in the same locality; in one 
case it yielded 174 bushels from a single bushel of seed. It is 
very early, and has thus far proved itself rustproof. It stands 
up better than any other sort; it is best for seeding on account 
of its thin hull, heavy meat and soft nib. It is the best for oat- 
meal and grinding for the same reason. Price: Lb.. (5c.;

Root Crops for Stock | 


Roeets have an average stock-feeding value by weight compared with hay of one ~ 

to three, 300 lbs. of roots equalling 100 lbs. of hay. Think of it, 15 to 35 
tons of roots can be grown per acre, and this means a feeding value equal to 5 to 
10 tons of hay. They have more than the feeding value, they are a fresh and 
very healthy food like grass. Read what we say of each kind, compiled from 
best scientific authority. The feeding of these crops on the farm means a great 
increase in the manure pile and so a great increase of crops. Root culture 
means good farming. 


Professor Johnson ranks Carrots as high as Cabbage when fed to cattle. Chem- 
Garrots ists rank es lbs. of Carrots equal to one bushel of oats. This would mean 
an acre of good Carrots equal to 300 bushel of oats, counting less than 22 tons 
per acre, while 40 tons have been raised. The stables of the largest and best teams in Chicago 
feed Carrots once a day all winter and spring. _ High authority says Carrots fed to horses give their 
coats a gloss and aid them in digesting grain, as can be seenin the dung of those fed on oats 
with Carrots and those fed on oats alone. Prepare fine mellow ground with well rotted manure 
and use }-lb. of seed per acre. See Vaughan’s Vegetable Garden.

Bermuda Grass (Cynodon Dactylon). In the southern 
states and in the warmer regions of the southwest and on 
the Pacific slope, this is cultivated extensively, and is 
most highly prized chiefly for grazing, all kinds of stock 
being extremely fond of it. It grows freely. on sandy 
soils where other grasses will not thrive, and resists extreme 
droughts and high tem peratures. It is particularly asun-loving 
grass and will not thrive in the shade. It is useful for bind= 
ing sand and the loose soil of embankments, or those sub- 
ject to wash. It makes fine lawns and is extensively 
used for that purpose in the hotter portions of the United 
States, for it will thrive where the grasses ordinarily eme 
ployed for that purpose could not survive. Bermuda 
Grass should be sown in the Spring. It does not succeed 
further north than Virginia. Sow8 pounds per acre. Per 
Ib., 75c.; 10 Ibs., $6.00; 100 lbs., $50.00. 


Johnson Grass (Andropogon Halepensis). In the 
warmer parts of the southern states it makes rapid growth, 
is but little affected by drought, and the hay, if cut just 
as the grass is coming into bloom, is much liked by all 
kinds of stock. Two or three cuttings may be made during 
the season. The extensively creeping root stocks are fleshy 
and tender, arid hogs are very fond of them. This grass is 
very hard to eradicate, and if it is not wanted to spread, 
the grass must be cut before the seed is ripe. Johnson 
Grass should only be sown where it is desired as a perma- 
nent pasture. Sow in Spring, or in August to October, at 
the rate of 25 pounds per acre. Per lb., 20c.3 10 lbs., 
$1.25; 100 lb., $10.00. 


Hog Pasture Grass and Clover Mixture. 


This mixture is composed of varieties that will give the

this. Price, 14 Ibs. (enough for one acre), $1.50;10

This is much liked in Russia because of the mild honey jf 
it furnishes. The plants grow about 3 feet high and qiK

Lawn grass isa voracious feeder and will not thrive 
{ and hold its beautiful dark green color and velvety ap- 
‘\\ pearance unless it receives a sufficient supply of suit- 
\ able food. Because so few appreciate this fact is the 
reason there are so many poor, rusty-looking lawns. 
\\) Stable manure is unpleasant to handle, ill-looking and 
decidedly odorous, and is also full of waste material. 
It contains weed seeds which are obnoxious, and it 
often takes yeurs to eradicate the weeds, causing an 
unnecessary amount of labor. All these objections 
are obviated by the use of our Lawn Fertilizer, and if 
Vaughan’s Lawn Seed is used there is no excuse for a 
bad lawn. Ifthe lawn is in fair condition it is only 
ghee TISCeSSATY, to gake off the dead leaves and grass an the 
SS S SN €arly spring and scatter broadcast over its surface 
—— some of ourLawn Fertilizer with a little of our Chi- 
cago Park Lawn Seed over the thin spots, and the work is done. 
DIRECTIONS FOR USE.—The first application should be made early in 
the Spring, as soon as the frost is out of the ground, at the rate of 25 pounds 
of fertilizer to every 1,000 square feet of lawn, evenly distributed, For seeding 
down a new lawn scatter double the amount.

Concentrated Manures or Fertilizers. 


MARKET GARDENING. 


The value of Commercial 'Animal Fertilizers to the market gardener cannot 
be overestimated. Compared with the results secured by the use of Fertilizers, 
their cost is insignificant. They greatly increase not only the yield, but also its 
quality, and, what is of immense importance, they push the crops rapidly forward 
to maturity, getting them into market early, and thus insuring a better price. 


VAUGHAN’S HIGH-GRADE TRUCK AND FARM MANURE. 
Se SSC DE 


This is our best brand of concentrated Manure, 

SS suitable for lawns and flowers as well as the vege- 

vi S\ tables mentioned below. It is of exceptional value 
\\ 


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 develop- 
ment. 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 controls 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 tha 
application of stable manure only for profitable crops. 


VAUGHAN’S «ROSE GROWER” 


This is a special brand we have put up for our trade. 
It isground fine, hence acts quickly. Free from acid and 
asuperbarticle, It is made from bone accumulated in

NITRATE OF SODA, or Chili Saltpeter. 
ALES ULI AE A ial ta a 


Nitrate of Soda is not a substitute for other manures, 
but we recommend it as the cheapest and best form 
in which to apply Nitrogen to plants. Gardeners 
who are using farm manure should continue to use It, 
but use Nitrate of Soda in addition to other fertilizers. 
If your object is to grow maximum crops you must 
in some way furnish the plants with nitrate. No matter 
what manure or fertilizer is used the Nitrogen must be 
converted into Nitrate before the plants can use it.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY 
WITH VAUGHAN’S SEEDS 


——_--- . 


HOUSANDS of doilars have been spent on Ginseng, because 
some visionary person has figured out how much money 
could be made from half an acre or other small area, but he 
has not said that it will require six years to get any returns. 
Furthermore, they now say the cultivated Ginseng is not what 
the Chinese want, lacking certain medicinal properties of the. 
wild. We suggest the following as more certain money makers: 


ASTERS The attractive and best selling colors are white, 
WUWGante. Pink land! lavender. These are always in good 


Branching demand. Florists, druggists and other merchants 
will buy and use them for their counter displays. 
SWEET PEAS 


Lady Grisel Hamilton 
Blanche Ferry 

Prima Donna 
Dorothy Eckford 
King Edward VII 


VEGETABLE ante is always a great demand for Cabbage, 
PLANTS... Cauliflower, Pepper, Egg Plant and Celery Plants. 
ELANTS-2e. An ounce of each of these, which can be pur- 
chased at a cost of approximately $1.00, will easily yield 
from $30.00 to $50.00 if properly cared for. 


PARSLEY A quarter of a pound of Parsley of our Champion 
~~ Moss Curled, will, if bunched and sold in the markets, 
produce $50.00 or more. 


PEAS, BEANS and fue always in demand if well grown and 
SWEET CORN ffesh; one or two quarts of each, which 
SWEET CORN... will not cost more than $1.00, can easily be 


made to return from $25.00 to $40.00. Cucumbers, Beets and 
Squash can be made to pay equally well. 


MUSHROOM If you have right conditions to grow Mushrooms 


(cellars and sheds are best), you can earn a great 
SPAWN... deal of money from small capital and labor. 


RHUBARB This is another money-maker. One dozen to 25 
clumps will yield an abundant supply of Rhubarb, 
particularly if the plants are well cultivated and matured. 


ASPARAGUS There is perhaps nothing ‘that will yield as 

Ul aaaonEamuchisasethis vegetable. $500.00 an acre after 
the plants are well started, that is two or three years after 
planting, is but a moderate estimate of the returns. 


ONION There are perhaps 9,000 Sets in a bushel and every= 

SETS body knows what a bunch of green Onions costs im 

—— the market early in the Spring. If there isa good 

demand for green Onions, they can be sold in that way. If 

there is not sufficient demand, the Onions can be allowed to 

remain to grow large Onions, which can be kept from Sep- 
tember to May, and best market prices secured. 


Vaughan’s Gardeners’ Calendar 


This vest-pocket Diary and Calander met with so favorable a reception 
last year that we have prepared a new edition for 1905. > 

We have already mailed this new editionasa Christmas present to every

very best the market affords and is the standard

matter as corn, hence it is a concentrated food and 
highly nourishing. Price, 5U-Ib. sacks, $1.00.

hottest weather. This is aremarkable record. We have grown thousands of varieties of Roses

KING HUMBERT | he New Giant 
Flowered Ganna. 

One of the Gold Medal varieties at the World’s Fair at St. Louis, and 

central figure in our ‘‘Grazd Prize’’ bedding display. See page 1. 


The Grandest type of Canna flower and plant yet produced. 


3 Of the scores of varieties of these noble flowering and foliage plants put on the 
\ market of late years, this one undoubtedly takes the lead not only for size and color of 
flowers but also for its noble habit, massive and handsome bronze foliage, and above all 
its unusual free flowering character and substance of individual flowers. It takes a good 
Canna nowadays to make asensation for there are many good ones, but King Humbert, 
of all the varieties shown at the World's Fair, is the one which was most prominent 
and which expert plant jurors pronounced of Gold [Medal Merit. 

This isa cross between the large or Orchid-flowering varieties and those raised by M. Crozy, 
of Lyons, France, and combining the best qualities of both sections. It is very free flowering, 
throwing up freely strong spikes with enormous heads of the largest flowers yet grown, of great 
substance and resisting much more the wind and rain than other kinds. 

The coloris of a brilliant rich orange scarlet and crimson striped. The foliage is of a rich 
bronzy color, very large and ornamental and of a leathery feature and stout. The piant isa robust 
grower, averaging about 4% feet. When seen growing in our Canna fields this summer or as shown 
at the World’s Fair it was truly a king of Cannas.
