When sown in the early spring a good display in most cases can be had in the following fall, but the beist results are not obtained by so doing. To obtain fine blooms it is better to sow during summer and transplant the seedlings into cold frames in September, protecting during the winter with mats or shutters. Pansies delight in a' cool, moist, well-drained soil, enriched with decomposed barnyard manure. They should never be allowed to suffer for want of water.

A convenient bed is about six feet wide, with a path two feet wide on each side. This will require six rows one foot apart, and a bed of that width 50 feet long will be ample for an ordinary family, requiring about one pound of seed. It will require about three years from the time of sowing until the bed is in full bearing, but once established, it is good for twenty years. It should be sown in drills one foot apart, and when the plants

are four or five inches high they should be thinned out so that the plants will be nine inches apart from each other in all the rows. Great care must be taken for the first year to keep down all weeds as soon as they appear, else they will choke and destroy the young seedling Asparagus. The deeper the soil and the more manure used, the greater will be the crop.

Conover’s Colossal. The best known, and one of the most desirable sorts. Pkt., .05; oz., .10; lb., .20; lb., .50.

Palmetto. Shoots are very large and light green, also tender and very desirable for the market and home garden. Very quick in growth, with close, round-topped shoots.

Pole or Running

German, — Stangen Bohnen.

Spanish, — Judias.

French, — Haricot a Rames.

One quart to 150 hills ; 10 to 12 quarts to the acre in drills.

These are more tender and require rather more care in culture than the Bush Beans, and should be sown two weeks ltaer. They succeed best in sand loam, which should be liberally enriched with short manure in the hills, which are formed, according to the va- riety from three to four feet apart. From five to six seeds are planted in each hill, about two inches deep. As the matured bean is used mostly, the season is too short for succession of crops in the North, though it is advantageous to plant succession crops in the Southern states, where the season of growth is often from March to November. Rough cedar or similar poles about seven or eight feet long should be used for Lima Beans to climb on. They should be set in the ground at least eighteen inches, so as to prevent being blown over.

BEET

German — Runtel Rube.

French, — Betterave.

Spanish, — Beteraga.

A rather light soil, well enriched, is best suited to the cultivation of the various beets. The mangels and sugar beets in particular require very liberal manuring. For an early crop of table beets, sow the seed as early as the ground is in condition to work; light frosts will not injure the young plants. For a main crop sow the first of May; and for winter beets, the last of June. Sow in drills, 12 to 15 inches apart, and about one inch deep, pressing the earth firmly upon the seed, — a very important matter. Use about six pounds of seed per acre. Thin out when the plants are large enough. The varieties for table use should be left three or four inches apart.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS

(Species of Cabbage; cultivation the same)

German, — Rofen-Kohl.

French, — Chou de Bruxelles.

Spanish, -^Berza de Brusels.

One ounce will sow a bed of forty square feet, and produce about 3,000 plants.

This is a delicious vegetable, superior to either borecole or spinach. The small, cab- bage-like heads which grow upon the stem are much improved by a moderate frost. Sow in hotbeds in March or April, and in the open ground in May; cultivate same as broc- coli.

Dwarf Improved. Produces excellent, com- pact sprouts; very sure cropper. Pkt., .05; oz., .20; 'A lb., .60.

CABBAGE

German, — Kopf-Kohl. French, — -Chou Pomme.

Spanish, — Berza.

One ounce of seed produces about 3,000 plants.

Early varieties are grown from seed sown in hotbeds in February or March, only mod- erate bottom heat being required. Transplant into other frames without much, if any, bot- tom heat, as soon as the plants show the fourth leaf. In April, or as soon as the ground can be easily worked, set out in rows three feet apart, and about eighteen inches between the plants. The ground should be thoroughly stirred with cultivator and hoed every week till the plants cover the ground. For a fall crop, sow in the open ground in May, in hills the proper distance apart, using a. liberal quantity of manure in the hill, be- side that which is plowed in; thin out to one good plant in each hill. In the same way crops may be sown to lay in for the winter use, planting seed as late as July 1. Seeds can also be sown in shallow drills when the plants are large enough, can be trans- planted, setting the plants in rows three feet apart and two feet apart in the row. If the young plants are troubled with the cabbage fly, sprinkle them with tobacco dust, air- slaked lime, slugshot or wood ashes, while the dew is ion them. To keep off the cabbage worm, sprinkle with Dalmatian insect pow- der or slugshot.

Danish Ball Head

The wide and unfailing popularity of the Danish Ball Head cabbage is simply wonder- ful. It seems to adapt itself to all soils and conditions.

The leading characteristics of Danish Ball Head cabbage are; First, that it is a sure header; second, that it is of unapproachable solidity and weight; third, that it is an ex- tra good keeper; and fourth, that it is a good seller.

It is a medium to late cabbage, but is gen- erally grown as a late crop. It is sure to head, the heads being round, hard and ex- tremely heavy, though not extra large. It can be grown in close quarters, on account of its compact habit. Pkt., .05; oz., .25;; J4 lb., .75; lb., $2.50.

CARROT

German, — Rohre. French, — Carotte.

Spanish, — Zanahoria.

One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 3 pounds required for an acre.

Carrots require a very finely pulverized soil to grow them to perfection. A good, light and well-enriched sandy loam is the best for this crop. For field culture, sow in drills 2 y2 feet apart, so as to cultivate by horse. Mar- ket gardeners sow in drills about 15 inches apart, and cultivate by hand. For early crops cover y2 inch deep, and thin to 6 inches apart in the rows ; for late, cover % inch deep, and thin to 4 inches.

CAULIFLOWER

German, — Blumenkohl. Spanish, Coliflor.

French, — Chou-fleur.

One ounce of seed will produce 1,500 to 2,000 plants if sown in open ground, or about 3,000 in frames.

To raise good Cauliflower there is nothing so essential to success as good seed. The best Cauliflower seed is very expensive, but it is worth to the grower ten times as much as cheap and carelessly grown seeds. The best results are obtained from using Snow- ball for main late crop, as well as for early use.

Early Cauliflowers are difficult to raise and are not of the best quality but when the plants are set out in July and the heads form in October there is no difficulty in getting fine, large heads of first-class quality. The seed should he sown in open ground or cold frames about the middle of May or first of June, on good soil. When plants are large enough, transplant to rich, moist soil. These remarks refer to Snowball or other early kinds. The late kinds must be sown and transplanted earlier.

Henderson’s Early Snowball. This is un- doubtedly the finest ever introduced; it is the earliest, and produces beautiful snow- white heads of the most delicious flavor. The seed we offer is pure and genuine, and sure to prove satisfactory. Pkt., .20; oz., $2.50.

Extra Selected Dwarf Early Erfurt. The

finest strain of the Erfurt Cauliflower; al- most as early as the Snowball; grows about 15 inches high producing very solid, pure white heads of the very finest quality; sel- dom fails to form a good-sized head. . Pkt., .15; oz., $2.00.

Danish Giant (Dry Weather). This supe- rior strain originated in Denmark. It is about two weeks later than our Snowball; makes a larger head and is very resisting against unfavorable season and dry weather. We would suggest to our customers who have had trouble in raising other kinds of Cauli- flower to give this variety a trial, as to our minds the chances of success, with this Cauli- flower is increased many fold over any other strain.

Pkt., .20; oz., $2.50.

All kinds of Insecticides, Spray Pumps, Power Sprayers, etc., always on hand. Call and examine or write for catalogue and prices.

CELERY

German, — Sellerie. French, — Celeri.

Spanish, — Apio.

One ounce of seed produces about 3,000 plants.

Sow seed the first or second week in April in hotbed or cold frame. As soon as the plants have attained a height of three inches, transplant, setting them four inches apart. As fall approaches draw earth up to the plants, keeping the stalks well together. When well blanched it is ready for use. Some of the varieties, such as Golden Self-Blanching and White Plume, may be blanched by simply placing a board 12 to 15 inches wide on edge on each side of the row.

Boston Market. The best and most popu- lar sort in cultivation.

Pkt., .05; oz., .30; ^ lb., .75.

CORN — Sugar

German,— Welfchkorn French,— Mais.

Spanish, — Maiz.

One quart will plant 200 hills ; 1 pk. will plant 1 acre in hills.

Corn requires a good soil and a warm sit- uation. Commence for first early by plant- ing the early varieties about May 1, and if a continuous supply is wanted all summer, make plantings about two weeks apart from May 1 until the last of July, first planting early varieties then later ones. Plant in rows 3 feet apart, and make the hills about the same distance apart in the rows. Five ker- nels in the hills are plenty. Cover about 1 inch deep for early and a little deeper for late. Thin to 3 plants in a hill. Add 5c per pt; 7c per qt., and for each additional quart to the same address add 2c, if to be sent by mail.

FIELD AND FODDER CORN

Prices will he quoted on application on the

following corns Please give the amount desired as well as the kind in all cases.

Southern White. A white variety that no silo owner or dairy farmer should overlook. It grows 12 to 16 feet high ; has broad foliage and tender stocks. There is no better fodder to keep up the flow of milk during hot weather when the grass is burned up. Heavy cropper.

Learning. An early very heavy long-eared corn. Grows to medium height with large amount of foliage. One of the best ensilage corns, very much relished by stock. Cob red; grain yellow.

Red Cob. A very large-growing white dent corn, with red cob. Fodder sweet, juicy and tender. Very popular in northern dairy dis- tricts.

Sanford. A well-known variety, adapted to the whole of New England. Kernels sil- very white flint color; large and broad. An excellent fodder and ensilage corn.

Early Canada. An' eight-rowed, yellow-flint variety with small cob and deep grain. This is one of the earliest and best and seldom fails to produce a crop. The Early Canada seed we have to offer was grown in this State. From the fact that this corn matured in good shape last season it is sufficient evidence that it is Early and well adapted to this climate.

Longfellow. An eight-rowed, yellow flint sort; ears average 10 to 15 inches. Large kernels and small cob. Particularly adapted to New England.

Haskell’s Prizetaker Corn

CORN — Continued HASKELL’S PRIZETAKER CORN

This corn has fully maintained its past rec- ord as being the very best flint corn grown.

This corn showed a test of 12.2 per cent, protein, 5.51 fat, and 78.56 carbo-hydrates, which makes it the highest test corn from a food value of any of the known flints or dents.

On a recent test of this corn, 70 pounds of ears made 63 pounds of shelled corn.

This also makes an exceptionally fine corn for an ensilage corn as it grows when plant- ed for ensilage very rank, being 10 to 12 feet tall, and the stalks are very fine grain, mak- ing a much more profitable corn for ensilage than any of the dent varieties. We have this corn both on the cob and shelled.

CUCUMBER

German,— Gurfe. French, — Concombre.

Spanish, — Pepino.

One ounce will plant 50 hills; 2 pounds will plant an acre.

Culture — For earliest use, sow the seed in the hotbed or greenhouse in February or March, in warm loam, where the temperature is about 90 degrees ; cover half an inch deep, and when the plants are of fair size trans- plant into hills (made in the greenhouse), four plants in a hill, so that when the weath- er permits the whole hill can be moved to the open ground by means of tins made for that purpose. Plant for general use in the open ground about June 1, in hills 6 feet each way, and thin to three plants in a hill. Fine old manure (about six cords per acre) is suf- ficient; or, better still, plant on land from which a crop has been taken, and which was heavily manured for that crop.

Davis Perfect. As now selected, this popu- lar new variety is well worthy of praise. The long, even fruits are of fine form, with an intensely dark rich green skin. With very few seeds the solid white flesh is of superb quality for slicing. So handsome and regular are the fruits that they bring an extra price on market, — often being taken for “hot- house grown.” The vines are of strong growth and quite prolific.

DANDELION

German, — Lowenzahn. French, — Pissenlit.

Spanish, — Amargon.

One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill.

The Dandelion resembles endive, and af- fords one of the earliest as well as one of the most healthful of spring greens. Sow as early as the weather will permit, in good, well-enriched soil, in rows 12 inches apart, covering seed % of an inch deep, and firming the soil well over them. Thin to two or three inches apart in the rows; by so doing the roots will be larger and a great amount of time will be saved the

One ounce will sow 100 square feet, or 120 feet of drill

Requires a rich, moist soil, and to be crisp and tender needs to be grown in cool weath- er. For winter use, sow in hotbeds every two weeks, at the rate of one ounce of seed to four sashes (a sash is three feet long by six feet wide) ; cover very lightly, and trans- plant, first to three inches apart each way, afterward to eight inches. For garden or field, sow in rows, and cover, one-fourth of an inch deep, and thin out to twelve inches apart in the rows. For New England the White Seeded Tennisball for cultivation un- der glass, and the Black Seeded Tennisball for outdoor use, are the standard variety.

MELON, MUSK

German, — Melone. French, — Melon.

Spanish, — Melon.

One ounce will plant about 50 hills; 2 to 3 lbs. in hills -per acre.

Melons thrive best in a light, rich soil. Plant early in May, when the ground has be- come warm and dry, in hills six feet apart each way for Muskmelons, eight feet for Watermelons. Previous to sowing the seed, mix a few shovelfuls of well-rotted manure in each hill, and plant in each twelve to fifteen seeds; after all danger of bugs is over, thin out to three plants per hill. When about one foot long, pinch off the tips to make them branch, as it strengthens the growth of the vines and makes the fruit mature earlier. Give plenty of water/and feed liquid manure occasionally. A few hills for early use may be had by sowing on pieces of sod in a hot- bed, and when warm enough transplant to open ground.

Emerald Gem Melon. The Emerald Gem is entirely unlike any other muskmelon yet in- troduced. The melons are about the size of me Netted Gem, but unlike that variety, the skin, while ribbed, is perfectly smooth, and of a very deep emerald green color. The flesh, which is thicker than any other native melon of the same size, is of a suffused sal- mon color, and ripens thoroughly to the thin green rind, which is distinctly defined. The flesh is peculiarly crystalline in appearance, and so very juicy, sweet and rich that it al- most drops to pieces. It matures very early, and is quite productive.

F'kt., .05; oz., .10; lb., .50; lb., $1.50.

Rocky Ford. This new Muskmelon is simi-* lar to the oval strain of Netted Gem. The strain here offered originated with the melon growers in the vicinity of Rocky Ford, Col., who have shipped this melon from that dis- tant Western point to Eastern markets. The melons grown by them are so fine in quality as to outsell all others, and the demand for such melons has been far beyond the supply.

OKRA OR GUMBO

German, — Ocher. French,- — Gombo.

Spanish, — Cebolla.

One ounce will plant 100 hills.

This is an annual from the West Indies, cultivated for its green seed-pods, which are used in soups or stewed and served like asparagus. It is highly esteemed in the South for making gumbo soup. The pods when young and tender should be sliced in sections, strung on a thread and hung up in the shade to cure like dried apples; can be used for soup at any time.

Culture. Sow the seed thinly in dry, warm soil, in shallow drills two feet apart. After the plants are up, thin them out to nine inch- es apart; hoe frequently and draw a little earth to the stems as they grow. Gather the pods when quite green and about one and one-half inches long.

Long Green. Pods long, green and ribbed, and a heavy bearer. Pkt., .05; oz., .10; lb., .25.

White Velvet. Great improvement over the older varieties; pods larger, white, smooth, and a more abundant bearer; of superior quality... Pkt., .05; oz., .10; J4 lb., .30.

ONION

Select the clean, richest land on the farm for the Onion crop. If Onions were grown on the land the previous, year, so much the better but any good corn or potato land will do. Broadcast fifteen to twenty cords of fine well-rotted manure to the acre and plow not deeper than six inches; harrow thoroughly, cross plow, and harrow again, after which, hand rake with wood rake and remove stones and rubbish. Sow four to five pounds of seed per acre in drills twelve to fourteen inches apart and about one-half inch deep. See that the Seed Drill is equipped with a good roller, that will press the earth firmly upon the seed. Sow as early in the spring as the ground can be properly worked. There is seldom necessity for thinning Onions if the land has been properly manured and seeded. After the .Onions are three to four inches high, an application of about five hundred pounds to the acre of fertilizer, rich" in available nitrogen, strewn between the rows, will be very beneficial. Keep the Onions growing by never allowing the weeds to get ahead and the acre should produce, in a good average season, five hundred to seven hundred bushels. When the tops are down, the Onions may be pulled and left on the ground, and should be frequently turned with a wooden rake, until tops are dried.

Yellow Globe Danvers. Undoubtedly the best known and most popular of all onions; the earliest yellow variety; is entirely free from stiff necks. Globular in shape; has a small top. It is the most productive, produc- ing as high as one thousand bushels per acre, and will average on good soil with proper

Onion Sets should be planted as early in the spring as convenient to obtain early green onions, but they may be set at any time up to June 1. Set in rows a foot apart, and three to four inches between them in the row. Any good soil will suit them. When grown in quantities, high cultivation is given in order to forward the crop for an early market. They are ready for use as soon as the bulbs begin to be of fair size. Those not used in green condition will ripen early in July and make nice onions. Potato and Top Onions are grown from bulbs only.

PARSLEY

German, — Peterfile. French, — Persil.

Spanish, — Perejil.

One ounce for 150 feet of drill.

Parsley succeeds best in rich, mellow soil. As the seed germinates very slowly, it should be sown early in spring, previously soaking the seed for a few hours in tepid water. Sow thickly in rows a foot apart and half an inch deep.

PEAS

German, — Erbren. French,— Pois.

Spanish, — Guizante.

One quart for 75 feet of drill; one to two bushels in drills for an acre.

Peas come earliest to maturity in light, rich soil. For general crop, a deep loam or a soil strongly inclining to clay is best. For early crops decomposed leaves or leaf-mold should be used; or, if the soil is very poor, strong manure may be used. For general crops a good dressing should be applied, and for the dwarf-growing kinds the soil can hardly be too rich. When grown as a mar- ket crop, peas are never staked; for private use, they are generally sown in double rows, and the tall varieties staked up by brush. For an early crop sow as soon as the ground can be worked, and make repeated sowings every two weeks for succession. After the first of June sowing should be discontinued until the middle of August, when a good crop may sometimes be secured by sowing an extra-early sort for fall use.

If sent by mail add .05 per pt. ; .07 per qt., and for each additional qt. to same address add .02.

PUMPKIN

German, — Kurbis. French, — Poitron.

Spanish,— Calabaza.

One ounce will plant 20 hills.

Pumpkins are grown chiefly as food for stock. The usual method of planting is to scatter a few seeds at intervals in the hills when planting Indian corn ; in this way good

crops of Pumpkins are secured with slight labor and expense, and make a valuable ad- dition to the season’s crops.

Connecticut Field. The common yellow’ pumpkin, grown chiefly for feeding stock.

Oz., .05; 'A lb., .15; lb., .40.

Large Cheese or Kentucky Field. A most popular variety. Fruit flattened, the diame- ter being two or three times more than the length. Oz., .05; 'A lb., .10; lb., .40.

RADISH

German, — Rettig, Rabies.

Spanish, — Rabano.

French, — Radis, Rave, Petite Rave.

One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill.

Culture. The soil for Radishes should b(e very rich, light and mellow, well broken by digging as their tender and mild qualities de- pend much upon their rapid growth. For very early use sow in hotbeds in February and March and in the open air as soon as the ground can be worked, at intervals of ten or twelve days for a succession as long as they may be wanted. The winter varieties should be sown in August, lifted before se- vere frost, and stored in the cellar.

Vick’s Scarlet Globe Radish. A leader among bright round Red Radishes. Quick maturing, extremely attractive, short tops, solid and fine flavor.

Pkt., .05; oz., .10; |4 lb., .25; lb., .75.

Early Scarlet Turnip, White Tipped. One

of the handsomest of the turnip radishes and a great favorite in many large markets for early planting outdoors. It is but little later than the White Tipped Forcing, and will give entire satisfaction where extreme earliness is not the primary object. Roots slightly flattened on the under side; color, very deep scarlet with a white tip; flesh white and of the best quality.

Pkt., .05; oz., .10; J4 lb., .25; lb., .75.

Long Scarlet. Short top. The standard variety of the long sorts, used either for forcing or open culture; six or seven inches long.

Pkt., .05; oz., .10; J4 lb., .20; lb., .50.

Chartier. Decidedly distinct in appearance from any radish in cultivation. The color at the top being crimson, running into pink about the middle, and from thence downward it is a pure waxy white. It will attain a very large size before it becomes unfit for the table.

Pkt., .05; oz., .10; A lb-. -25; lb., .75.

SALSIFY OR OYSTER PLANT

German, — Bocksbart. French, — Salsifis.

Spanish, — Ostra vegetal.

One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill.

Culture. Sow the seed in light deep soil, early in the spring, in drills twelve inches apart and one inch deep, thinning out the

young plants to four or five inches. The roots will be ready for use in October, when a supply should be taken up and stored, like carrots. Those remaining will suffer no in- jury by being left in the ground till spring but should be dug up before commencing their growth.

Mammoth Sandwich Island. We consider this the largest and most profitable salsify in cultivation; roots are two to three times the size of the ordinary salsify and of more agreeable flavor. It is pure white in color and invaluable to market gardeners.

Pkt., .05; oz., .20; J4 lb-> -50.

SPINACH

German, — Spinat. French, — Espinard.

Spanish, — Espinaca.

One ounce for 100 feet of drill; 10 to 12 pounds in drills for an acre.

This is a very important crop in our mar- ket gardens, and is one of the most easily managed of all vegetables requiring but little culture, and may be had fit for use the en- tire season. The main crop is sown in Sep- tember. It is sometimes covered up in ex- posed places with straw or salt hay during winter, which prevents it from being cut with frost; but in sheltered fields there is no ne- cessity for covering. For summer use it may be sown at intervals of two or three weeks from April to August. Spinach is best de- veloped and most tender when grown in rich soil.

Prices on all varieties as follows:

Pkt., .05; oz., .10; J4 lb., .15; lb., .35.

Giant Thick Leaf. This variety gives the best results. The leaves are large, thick and somewhat crumpled, and it is equally good for spring or autumn sowing.

SQUASH

German, — Kurbiss. French,— Courge.

Spanish, — Calabaza.

One ounce Early will plant 50 hills; one ounce Marrow, 25 hills.

Culture. The plants are very tender and sensitive to cold, and planting must be de- layed until settled warm weather. The gen- eral principles of culture are the same as those given for cucumbers and melons, but the plants are less particular as to soil. The summer varieties should be planted four feet apart each way, and the winter sorts eight feet. Three plants are sufficient for a hill. Care should be taken not to break the stems from the squashes intended for winter use, as the slightest injury will increase the lia- bility to decay.

Delicious. We have found the squash all that the originator claims for it. It is the driest, sweetest and finest flavored squash we have ever tasted; a fall and winter squash and is a good keeper.

Again they should be transplanted about the middle of April into moderately warm beds or frames, and should not be nearer than eight inches. The final transplanting to the open ground may be made the last of May, when the plants should be fine, large and stocky, and if sufficient soil is taken up with each plant they will keep right on growing with no setback.

For ordinary plants, sow the seed early in March, and transplant, once in the hot- bed and from hotbed into cold frames about four inches apart. The last of May they will be ready for the open ground where the Dwarf varieties should be plant- ed 3% feet apart and the sperading varie- ties 4 to 4% feet apart.

TURNIP

German, — Steckrube. French, — Navet.

Spanish, — Nabo Comun.

Turnips may be sown at all seasons from April to August in our climate, although those will be the best which are sown very early in spring for summer crops, and early in August for a fall and winter crop. A light soil, well manured the previous year, is the best, a few hundred pounds per acre of quick-acting fertilizer will have a tenden- cy to make the roots smooth, and to make the rapid growth so essential in producing sweet and palatable Turnips.

Ruta Bagas, or Swedes, should be planted from the last of June to about July 10, as they require more time in which to mature than the Early or Strap Leaf varieties. Newly-turned soil will produce the sweetest and smoothest turnips.

Extra Early Purple Top Milan (Flat.) The earliest turnip in cultivation and a splendid variety; favorite with gardeners who want first turnips in market. Bulb white, flat, of medium size, with a bright purple top; one of the sweetest and finest flavored of summer sorts.

Pkt., .05; oz., .10; J4 lb., .20; lb., .65. Extra Early White Milan. This is one of our most popular turnips for spring sowing; it is a splendid extra early turnip in which the extreme earliness, small top and tap-

Northern Grown

Grass Seeds

SPECIAL ATTENTION

Though we trust you will give your careful attention to the vegetable section of our seed catalog, we do not want to overlook that part treating on Northern Grown Grass Seeds.

While we carry several grades of the different varieties of seeds, we recommend our Purity Brand as the very best the market affords. These seeds are strictly Northern grown, and are selected by us because they possess the two essential qualities of purity and vitali- ty. It is well known that there have been large quantities of Grass and Clover Seed sold as pure, which official analysis has shown to contain large percentages of adulteration. This not only defrauds the planter by selling him a worse than useless article, but inflicts in- jury also by filling his land with noxious weeds. We list Grass and Clover Seeds accord- ing to their quality, grading down from our Purity Brand, which is always the best.

Again we call your attention to the following pages, hoping that our grass-seed busi- ness may be of mutual advantage to us both.

HINTS ON MAKING HAY About Cutting, Curing1 and Storing

Value of Hay Crop

The value of the hay crop to the farmer and especially to the stock feeder is not ex- pressed by what it will bring on the market.

Aside from the market value there is the feeding value and the manureal value both of which cannot be computed in dollars and cents.

Growing grasses supply humus to the land and some supply nitrogen, a valuable fertil- izing element.

The feeding value is the one most influ- enced by the method of harvesting. Too early or too late cutting, too much exposure to sun and rain, destroys more or less of the value as a feed.

To save this loss is the object of careful methods of making hay.

When to Cut

The first thing is to know when to cut the different varieties of hay. If cut too early, there is a loss of weight and nutrients. If cut too late, there is a loss in digestible nu- trients and palatability.

In the case of clover and alfalfa, any delay in cutting produces a shrinkage in the suc- ceeding crop. Alfalfa produces from two to four crops each season and when each crop

LAWN SEEDS

We can confidently recommend our Lawn Grass Seed as being unexcelled for the pur- pose of making a new and permanent lawn, which will retain its rich green color and velvety appearance throughout the entire summer and fall.

In making a new lawn, primary expense

is ready it should be harvested without de- lay.

It is best to cut alfalfa when the. blossoms are about one-third out. At this time the plant possesses the greatest amount of di- gestible nutrients and if properly cured has no equal as a forage.

Clover should be cut when coming into full bloom, at which time a few of the heads are beginning to turn brown.

If cut before this time, clover will be hard to cure; if cut later, many of the leaves will fall off and much of the feeding value be lost.

The whole crop of either clover or alfalfa should be handled within a few days. Where large quantities are grown, it is advisable to use machines of large capacity in order to rush the work.

Timothy makes the best hay if cut when going out of bloom. If cut in full bloom, the blossoms will tend to make the hay dusty.

Cow peas make good hay when cut about the time the pods begin to appear.

Grains like wheat and oats should be cut for hay when the stalks first begin to turn yellow near the ground.

The time for cutting mixed crops like tim- othy and clover should be determined by the condition of the one which predominates.

FOR LAWN AND FARM

should be deemed secondary to ultimate ef- fect. We offer strictly high-grade mixture of the purest seed obtainable, entirely free from weeds and foreign seeds, at reasonable prices.

To obtain satisfactory results we recom- mend sowing at the rate of eighty pounds per acre.

Purity Brand. This is in the same class with our Purity Brand Red Clover, and ana- lyzes nearly as high.

Prime. High grade but not as pure as Purity Brand.

ALFALFA CLOVER

Alfalfa or Lucerne Clover yields a very heavy crop; it is grown successfully in the West and Middle West, and by liming prop- erly drained soil is yielding most satisfac- tory results in New England, and when well started will endure most severe droughts.

CRIMSON CLOVER

Crimson. (Scarlet or Italian.). Grown in pastures and for turning under. Very deep rooting. Sow ten to fifteen pounds per acre.

WHITE SWEET OR BOKHARA CLOVER

Sweet Clover is grown for bees, for hay, for green forage, but its greatest importance is in its value as a pasture plant and as a fertilizer.

It is a biennial leguminous plant of tall, shrub-like growth, somewhat like a coarse alfalfa, growing 8 to 10 feet high. Its blos- soms, which rarely appear until the second year, are white and give a strong smell of honey, quite perceptible some distance away. If not allowed to reseed, it will die out the second year.

Soil. — Sweet Clover grows in all parts of the United States; it possesses a wider adaptability in regard to soil and climate than any other clover or alfalfa. It thrives on the poorest, sandy soil and on dry hill sides, where no other clover will grow.

MILLETS

Hungarian. Used for hay and forage. Sow forty to fifty pounds per acre between the first and middle of June. Yields heavily and when well cured is excellent hay for cattle, increasing the flow of milk.

Japanese. This grows very tall, yielding heavily, and the demand for it is increasing rapidly. Sow thirty-five to fifty pounds per acre. Excellent for silo.

Siberian. Very similar to the Hungarian, maturing about the same time, but leaves are usually wide and tender, starting close to the ground, continuing nearly to the top of the stem, yielding more heavily, making it in many respects preferable to other millets. Sow twenty to twenty-five pounds per acre.

SPRAY CALENDAR

APPLES — Scab — Use Formula No. 8 before the flower buds open, repeat just after the flowers fall. If the orchard is badly infected, repeat at intervals of three weeks with two more sprayings.

Bitter Rot — Use Formula No. 5 about the middle of June, or if it has not previously been serious, spray when the disease appears. Give two or three other sprayings at inter- vals of about three weeks.

Canker Worm, Codling Moth, Curculic, and other Biting Insect — Use Formula No. 2.

Leaf Curl — Use Formula No. 5 or No. 8 when the trees are dormant.

San Jose Scale — Use Formula No. 8 when the trees are dormant.

PEARS — Scab and Leaf Spot — See under Apple.

RASPBERRY, BLACKBERRY and DEWBERRY— Anthracnose— Cut out all infected canes in the Spring and use Formula No. 5 before the buds open. Spray again at inter- vals using the same formula. As the fruit ripens use Formula No. 9.

STRAWBERRY — Mildew — Use Formula No. 5 at first sign of disease.

Rust — Use Formula No. 5 before the buds open. Formula No. 9 before the fruit ripens. After fruiting apply with Formula No. 5 again as may be needed.

POTATO — Blight, Rot and Beetle — Use Formula No. 2 or No. 4 when either appears and again at intervals of ten days as long as either is prevalent. The Bordeaux Mixture is for the Blight and Rot, and the Arsenate of Lead or Paris Green is for the Beetles, but either may be used in combination with the Bordeaux Mixture.

TOMATOES — Blight and Rot — Use Formula No. 5 when first fruitis half grown. Spray again in ten or fifteen days. Formula No. 9 should be used when the fruit is ripening if any spraying is necessary at that time.

DANDELIONS — Use Formula No. 10. Do not spray for two days before or after cutting the lawn. Most effective if it does not rain for 20 hours after spraying. Water the lawn and allow the grass to dry before spraying. Young plants should only require one spraying. Old plants are resistive, so repeat when they grow up again. When dandelions are dead, seed in with grass at once. Sulphate of Iron is not poisonous but will discolor clothing.

WILD MUSTARD — See under Dandelions.

CANADA THISTLES — See under Dandelions.

SPRAY FORMULA

1. ARSENATE OF LEAD — Use from 3 to 5 lbs. Arsenate of Lead to 50 gallons of water.

2. ARSENATE OF LEAD AND BORDEAUX COMBINED— Use from 3 to 5 lbs. Arsenate

of Lead to 50 gallons of Bordeaux Mixture. The Arsenate of Lead is used as an in- secticide, and the Bordeaux Mixture as a fungicide especially recommended for pre- venting blight.

3. PARIS GREEN — Use 1 to 2 lbs. Paris Green to 50 gal. water. Paris Green should not

be used on peach, cherries or Japan plums, and only with extreme caution on other stone fruits. In mixing Paris Green solutions add Milk of Lime, which will prevent the burning of foliage.

4. PARIS GREEN AND BORDEAUX COMBINED— Use 1 to 2 lbs. Paris Green to 50 gal.

Bordeaux Mixture.

5. BORDEAUX MIXTURE — Copper sulphate 5 lbs.; Lime 5 lbs.; Water 50 gals. In pre-

paring use two one-half barrel tubs. One for Copper Sulphate and the other for the Milk of Lime. The two solutions are now poured into a barrel at the same time, the Lime solution should be kept well stirred. Two men are required to make Bor- deaux Mixture, so as to get the two liquids poured into the barrel evenly.

6. KEROSENE EMULSION— Kerosene, 2 gallons; Whale Oil Soap, % pound; Soft Water,

1 gallon.

7. TOBACCO DECOCTION — Tobacco Stems and other refuse tobacco, 1 pound; Water, 2

gallons. Boil tobacco stems and other refuse tobacco thoroughly in the water. This solution is sufficiently strong for aphides and other very delicate insects.

8. LIME SULPHUR SOLUTION— We find from experience that the Commercial Lime

Sulphur Solution is much preferable to the home made solutions as, generally speak- ing, the mixture is better, being less liable to foliage injury and causing no trouble by clogging of spray nozzels, etc.

9. AMMONICAL COPPER CARBONATE — Copper Carbonate 6 ounces: Strong Ammonia

(just enough to dissolve the Carbonate) about 3 pints; Water 50 gallons. This is for use only when the fruit is ripe, or nearly so, and we do not wish to discolor it with Bordeaux Mixture.

10. SULPHATE OF IRON — Dissolve 4 pounds Sulphate of Iron in 2 gallons of water. Strain the liquid carefully through a fine screen of cheesecloth.

We have everything in Spraying Machinery including Hand, Traction and Gasoline Power Outfits. Send for descriptive matter or else call at our store and examinethem

INSECTICIDES & FUNGICIDES— Cont’d PURE PARIS GREEN ANSBACHER’S

After having tried several of the other kinds of Paris Green we are convinced that Ansbacher’s has no superior, consequently are handling this kind exclusively.

The price of Paris Green not being established at this time of going to press, we will be pleased to quote prices on application.

GRASSELLI ARSENATE OF LEAD

Grasselli Arsenate of Lead Paste contains 15 per cent. Arsenic Oxide, combined with the maximum amount of lead consistent with good mixing qualities.

It contains less than one-half per cent. Soluble Arsenic.

Kills all leaf-eating insects. Mixes readily with water. Sticks to the foliage.

Grasselli Arsenate of Lead is used to de- stroy all leaf-eating insects attacking fruit trees, shade trees, vegetables, flowers and shrubbery, such as Codling Moth, Curculino, Canker Worm, Tussock Moth, Elm Leaf Beetle, Gypsy and Brown Tail Moths, Potato Beetle and all similar insects that feed upon the fruit and foliage.

Mix with the required amount of paste as received, enough water to make a thin paste that will pour readily before putting into the spray tank.

Apply thoroughly in a fine mist under good pressure as soon as the insects put in their appearance, or where past experience has shown that certain insects are to be expect- ed at a certain time, it is well to apply Ar- senate of Lead in advance of their appear- ance.

It should always be borne in mind that all insect pests can be more readily killed when young and before they have attained their growth. i

Grasselli Arsenate of Lead Paste may be used with either Lime Sulphur Solution or Bordeaux Mixture, combining in one applica- tion treatment for both insects and fungi. GRASSELLI ARSENATE OF LEAD POWDERED

Grasselli Arsenate of Lead Powdered is usually used in the dust form. Apply as re- ceived, by finely dusting on the foliage. If mixed with water use 1 pound to 1% pounds, to 50 gallons of water except for Potato Beetles. Use. two to three pounds to 50 gal- lons of water on potatoes, applying 50 gallons or more per acre.

GRASSELLI LIME SULPHUR SOLUTION

Grasselli Lime Sulphur Solution contains 33 per cent, combined lmie and sulphur in so- lution at 32 to 33 degrees Beaume, the maxi- mum that will stay in solution under the va- rious climatic conditions to which it is liable to be exposed.

It is a clear, cherry color liquid, free from sediment and works through the nozzles easily.

Grasselli Lime Sulphur Solution is used as an insecticide to control San Jose Scale, Oyster Shell Scale and all sucking or scale insects. For this purpose it is used at a dilu- tion of 1 gallon to 9 to 11 gallons of water and applied during the dormant season, either after the leaves drop in the Fall or be- fore the buds open in the Spring. The Spring applications just before the buds open, will control Leaf Blister Mite, Plant Lice and Peach Leaf Curl, in addition to the scale in- sects, and is usually considered advisable in well cared for orchards where the scale is already under control and where the entire orchard can be gone over in the Spring.

Grasselli Lime Sulphur Solution is also used as a Summer spray to control Scab, Leaf Spot and similar fungous diseases on apples and pears.

On apple and pear foliage, it should not be used stronger than iy2 gallons to 50 gal- lons of water. Some prefer 1% gallons to 50 gallons of water.

Lime Sulphur Solution as a Summer spray replaces Bordeaux Mixture. The use of Lime Sulphur Solution and Bordeaux Mixture in same application is unnecessary.

“CORONA DRY” ARSENATE OF LEAD

Corona Dry Arsenate of Lead is distinctive for quick poisoning, even application and great adhesiveness.

Its purity and unusual chemical activeness give it highest poisoning power.

One pound of “Corona Dry” will do the work of three pounds of paste and do it bet- ter. :

HUBBARD’S

Bone and Blood Fertilizers The Great Crop Producers

There are so many goods being manufactured today in the cheapest possible way, that we can demonstrate to your satisfaction the superiority of this brand, They cost more to make than others because the ammonia is derived from blood, fish, sulphate of ammonia, nitrate of soda and tankage, and not from ground leather, scrap, hoof meal, hair and sim- ilar insoluble forms of ammonia. The Phosphoric Acid used in Hubbard’s Fertilizer is de- rived from dissolved bone instead of dissolved rock, and in consequence is more valuable. The Potash is derived from High Grade Muriate of Sulphate.

Special INotice.

Owing to the unprecedented condition of the Potash Market caused by the great Eu- roepan War, all fertilizer manufacturers have had to greatly reduce the amount of potash in their various brands, and in fact, a great many grades have been entirely cut out. In the four Hubbard’s Brands that will be registered in Maine this season and listed below, the manufacturers have maintained their usual high grade qualities, simply reducing the amount of potash but not cheapening the product otherwise.

CHICK FEED TROUGHS

Years of experience with this type of Hopper, with changes from time to time to improve it, has enabled us to put on the market a Dry Mash Hopper that fulfils every need. The wire grid is raised or lowered as required for coarse or fine mash. The bottom of the hopper always keeps the feed within easy reach of the birds. The flange at the edge prevents any possibil- ity of waste and the small wires extending from the flange to the wire grid prevents the birds from throwing the feed sidewise out of the hopper. The most distinctive feature about this Favorite Dry-Mash Hopper is the fact that it is an inch wider at the low- er side than at the top, thus making it utterly impossible for the food to clog.

-All these wall founts have hoods over the troughs, which prevent dirt from settling in the water. Can be hung up on wall, and for this reason are preferred by many to the 2- piece fount, which -must be placed on the floor. 1 Gal., .55; 2 Gal., .75.

DROP-BOTTOM FOUNTS

The only rounded chick feed troughs on the market. No trouble to clean them. The grate slides easily on and off — a feature not found in any other chick troughs. The grade also serves as a handle, and is so slanted that the chicks cannot roost on it.. Two sizes — 10-inch and 20-inch.

10-inch, .30; 20-inch, .50.

ROUND-BOTTOM DRY-FOOD HOPPER

28-gauge galvanized steel. Easiest thing in the world to open and clean. Clasp by which the bottom is fastened fits over the small hole under the hood, preventing slop- ping of water when the fount is handled. Solid brass hinge rod — no rust.

2 Quart, .45; 1 Gal., .60.

The hopper you will eventually buy. Sure to replace all other makes of dry-food hop- per. Owing to the rounded bottom, dry mash and beef scrap feed readily and never clog. An “H-I” specialty that we’re proud of. With or without lid.

With lid, .75.

The center hopper holds the mixed grain food, generally composed of cracked corn, wheat, Kaffir corn, buckwheat, barley, oats, etc., and is so constructed that an agitator underneath, containing whole corn as bait, can be worked by the fowls to scat- ter broadcast a small amount each time of the dry grain mixture. It gives the hens the necessary exercise hunting for the grains. Suri’ounding this center hopper are six com- partments made to contain dry mash, beef scrap, grit, charcoal, oyster shells, etc., easily accessible to the fowls, and the feeder is so constructed that no food is wasted. The cover is conical in shape, preventing roost- ing upon it. Price, 20 qts., $3.75.

Conkey’s Lice Liquid — For mites in poultry houses spraying with Lice Liquid is the commonsense treatment, as it gets in the cracks where the mites hide away. No use trying to treat mites with a powder — the mite is a special kind of chicken-louse, that hides in cracks during the day, and attacks the fowls at night. Conkey’s Lice Liquid mixes with water, 25 to 50 parts as desired. This makes it very reasonable as well as effective. Price: 1 qt., 35c.

NOTE — We wish to emphasize the fact that there are THREE distinct kinds of chicken lice. They must be treated in three different ways, as no one thing will cover the life habits of all three kinds. Read this over again.

NOX-I-CIDE — The secret of a healthy flock is sanitation and disinfection. Nox-i-cide is Conkey’s strictly high-grade disinfectant, dip, spray and lice liquid. It is a general pur- pose article and can always be relied upon to

prove effective. High in phenols. Not dan- gerous, and reasonably cheap, quality con- sidered. It mixes readily with water, so that a gallon represents 50 to 100 gallons of spray liquid. Pint can 35c.

What about EGGS ? Conkey’s Laying Tonic regulates and conditions fowls so they can make the most possible profit. A little in the mash feed once a day improves the ration, and brings better results from the same feed. It improves digestion and increases the vigor of the flock. Try it and you will soon see your fowls look better, act better, do better in every way. It does not break down the fowl. Its use with breeding stock improves fertility as well as increases the number of eggs. Conkey’s Laying Tonic simply im- proves the condition of the fowl, so it can do its best for you. Fine for growing stock. Unrivalled for bringing .molting fowls into condition. Stirs up the sluggish layers. Try it on guarantee, and remember the eggs will soon pay for it! Costs only 2 cents a month for each hen, so you can estimate it’s a mon- ey maker. Try it — that’s all we ask of you. YOUR MONEY BACK if not satisfied. 3% lbs., 50c; iy2 lbs., 25c.

2 It is entirely circular and has no cor- ners for the chicks to crowd into.

3 The lamp holder can be lifted out through the top of the hover by a person standing up. This makes it unnecessary for the operator to kneel in dust or mud to tend his lamp.

It gives ample heat under the hover with- out so heating the surrounding floor space as to cause leg weakness among the chicks.

They are used by more Government Experi- ment Stations, on more large, practical poultry plants, on more successful duck and egg farms, and by a larger num- ber of foremost poultry breeders than all other makes com- bined. They are the last word to date in incubator build- ing, not a penny 'being spared anywhere in their construc- tion to make sure of their doing satisfactory work in all climes, under widely different conditions, in the hands of of all sorts of people. They are built to hatch and to last. With ordinary care they should last an ordinary lifetime.

INCUBATORS AND BROODERS— Con’t.

Cyphers Company Brooders and Hoovers

STANDARD CYPHERS BROODERS

The Standard Cyphers Brooders are not only fire-proofed and insurable, but are most durable, convenient and most efficient indoor and outdoor brooders thus far invented and placed on the market. They are equipped with the same type of high-grade thermostat as used on the Standard Cy- phers Incubator — you can therefore depend upon an even, steady temperature in the hover, and a lively, thrifty, grow- ing lot of chicks.

These Cyphers 1915 Brooders, all sizes and styles, are self-regulating, self-ventilating and varmint-proof. They are usable also as colony coops for the growing chicks. They are easily and quickly con- verted into colony roosting coops by simply taking out the hover, which is made removable for that purpose.

Apartment Brooder

THIS DOUBLE USE of the Cyphers Brooder means a considerable saving of money. It makes a safe and comfortable enclosure for the young chicks at night, and saves the buying of a coop for them. These outdoor brooders, on account of their fire-proof construction, can be used indoors equally well. All Cyphers 1915 Brooders contain either two or three apartments. The popular Style B (shown in illustration herewith) contains three apartments: first, roomy space under the hover; second, hover chamber; third, well-lighted exercising apartment. It has often been said by users of Cyphers Brooders that “They Mother the Chicks Better than a Hen.”

Style A. 2-Apartment Outdoor Brooder $13.50

Style B. 3-Apartment Outdoor Brooder 17.50

Style C. 3-Apartment Outdoor Brooder (for cold climates) .... 19.00

CYPHERS ADAPTABLE HOVER

The Cyphers Adaptable Hover is Self-ventilating and Self-regulating. It supplies q. continuous flow of fresh, pure, warmed air under the hover, and art the same time maintains a steady, uniform heat. All the essentials of successful brood- ing of chicks are automatically provided. Thousands of poultry growers use this hover in raising big, strong flocks of chicks.

It is “adaptable” to use in Colony Coops, in portable houses, in home-made brooder coops, such as goods boxes, piano boxes, and organ cases, as well as in large brooding houses. It is constructed entirely of non-combustible material, and bears the fire underwriters Inspected Brooder label. Capacity, seventy-five newly hatched chicks, or fifty chicks that are ten days to six weeks old.

Price of Cyphers Adaptable Hover '. $8.50

Style B. Three Apartment Brooder

CYPHERS PORTABLE HOVER

The Cyphers Portable Hover is the only Self-regulating and Self-Ventilating Portable Brooding Hover thus far invented, and we guarantee it to be the best brooding device of the kind on the market. As it is equipped with the same high-grade thermostat as the Cyphers Incubators and the Cyphers Adaptable Hover, it maintains a steady and uniform heat. It is positively and infalli- bly automatic in ventilation, preventing the trapping of “dead air or poisonous gases underneath the curtain. A continuous sup- ply of fresh, warmed air is automatically forced beneath the hover.

Buckeye Brooders

It is a matter of record that poorly constructed brooders are responsible for the death of more chicks than all other causes combined, so we consider it most advisable to call particular attention to the importance of using a type of brooder which we know will prop- erly care for the chicks after they are hatched.

THE KINERSON COMBINATION BUTTER PRINTS

The Kinerson Prints are too well known to require elaborate advertising or testimonials. There are various devices on the market for printing butter, but the Kinerson Print has no real competitors. Its first cost is a trifle in advance of the cost of inferior goods, but no more so than is necessary to insure each cus- tomer of honorable business dealing, first- class workmanship, skilled engraving execut- ed to order, and a thoroughly practical, sim- ple and convenient Print which is the fruit of years of careful study, experiment and improvement — a Print that will save many times its original cost, in valuable time, and will outwear any other Print on the market. The above statements are made in thorough good faith and the Prints themselves will demonstrate their truthfulness.

These Prints will be carved with any Initial, Monogram, or design wanted. Price including Cutters and Paddles, postage paid anywhere in New England.
