A BLUE RIBBON LAWN

BLUE RIBBON LAWN GRASS SEED

WILL grow on your soil, in your climate, and in whatever location you want Grass to grow. It is used and endorsed everywhere. We sell it to the largest and finest parks in the country, to the most critical owners of homes and estates, for large or small lawns, tennis courts, golf links, etc., and from all sections we get favorable reports. Sow it in February, March and April — one quart to 250 sq. ft., four bushels per acre.

BLUE RIBBON EVERGREEN

A Grass Seed for northern and middle latitudes, of which we sell thousands of pounds each year. We recommend it in place of straight Kentucky Blue Grass, as the latter is slow in starting and takes some time to make a good lawn when seeded alone. It is a mixture of the best Grasses for lawn purposes, which insures a fine green sward at all seasons of the year, no one Grass keeping in good condition throughout the season. It makes a lawn quicker, as some of the Grasses used grow rapidly and in a few weeks time they are ready to mow. Our seed weighs 20 pounds to the bushel, where the ordinary seed only weighs 14 pounds.

Prices, postage paid: Pint, 15c; quart, 25c; 4 quarts, 90c,

Prices, at buyers’ expense: Pint, 10c; quart, 20c; 4 quarts, 65c; peck (5 lb.), $1.25; bushel (20 lb.), $4.00; 5 bushels or over at $3.50 per bushel.

SHADY GREEN LAWN GRASS

This is especially prepared for damp and shady places where ordinary Grasses will not thrive. If you have large trees on your property or require a sod on the north side of some buildings, this is just the thing for you.

Prices, postage paid: Pint, 20c; quart, 35c; 4 quarts, $1.25; at purchasers’ expense: pint, 15c; quart, 30c; 4 quarts, $1.00; peck, $1.75; bushel, $6.00.

DIXIE VELVET LAWN GRASS

Our friends in the extreme South and dry Western States will find this of exceptional value. It is made up from extremely hardy varieties, those which withstand the hot sun and drouth, such as Bermuda Grass. It can also be used to advantage on dry banks exposed to the sun, where ordinary varieties burn out.

Prices, postage paid: Pint, 20c; quart, 35c; 4 quarts, $ 1 .25 ; at purchasers’ expense: pint, 15c; quart, 30c; 4 quarts, $1.00; peck, $1.75; bushel, $6.00.

BLUE RIBBON LAWN AND GARDEN FERTILIZER

Here is just what you need, whether making a new lawn or working over an old one. A specially prepared fertilizer, finely powdered and mixing readily with the soil. It contains all the essentials for producing quickly a fine velvety lawn. Just sprinkle it over the soil so as to cover it lightly — a five-pound package will cover a space 12x20 feet — work into the soil with a fork or rake, and then watch the grass grow. It makes the finest kind of top-dressing for any lawn. Scatter it over the grass lightly before a rain or before using the hose. Use it at intervals during the season.

Price. 5 lbs., 25c; 10 lbs., 50c; 25 lbs., $1.00; 50 lbs., $1.75; 100 lbs., $3.00.

rHE Season of 1914 was the best we have ever experienced. The Season of 1915 will be still better, and in order to take care of the trade to best advantage we have been enlarging and remodeling our mail-order de- partment, so that we now have one of the finest equipped establishments to be found in the country. We are iwoting an entire floor of the building shown on front cover to just mall-orders alone. Every possible arrangement is been made for prompt filling and mailing of orders.

We expect to have enough seed to meet all requirements and have in stock an exceptionally fine lot of seeds spite of the difficulties arising through the European war.

As fast as the new stocks have reached us they have been rapidly distributed into packages of various sizes ad with the advent of the new year we have hundreds of thousands of packets all ready to go into the mail.

We have taken over the second and third floors of the building adjoining us, which gives as some 10,000 I' luare feet of additional floor space^ and we are now in a position to take care of every order promptly.

“B/ue Ribbon* is our Trade-Mark. It stands for highest quality and every effort has been put forth to mam- ■in this quality and the enviable reputation our seeds have obtained and the immense increase in our business is le best evidence of our success.

Our great advantage as to location enables us to procure all classes of grass and field seeds of finest quality, J id with our large warehouses, especially equipped for re-cleaning and handling the stock, we feel we Ccui give our : jstomers better values than can be procured elsewhere.

We should like to thank our customers in person for their generous support, but this being impossible, we take lis means of thanking one and all. We hope you will have a prosperous season and the best season you have ever i cperienced.

Very sincerely yours,

WOOD, STUBBS & COMPANY.

Louisville, Ky., January 1, 1915.

Artichoke f

There are two distinct varieties grown. Of one, the Green Globe, we 1! use the flower bud. Of the other, the Jerusalem, we cook the roots. |

Green Globe \

A French vegetable grown quite extensively in the South. It is ] raised from seed which can. be started in a hot-bed in February and I transplanted in May or can be sown, outdoors in April, covering the seed one inch deep. When large enough to handle, transplant two feet apart. They will produce flower buds the second year from seed. The plants are not very hardy and should be mulched in the late Fall. They will not grow in the North. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; lb., $3.00. I

Jerusalem . |

This is a delicious vegetable and should be used much more than it is. i Hardy everywhere and wonderfully productive. Plant and cultivate like potatoes. Once in the ground it is hard to get rid of, sO' care should be i!| taken as to where it is grown. It furnishes splendid feed for hogs. They j can be turned into the crop and will haiwest it themselves, thriving well i on the roots. Elnough roots will always remain to renew the crop another : year. A couple of quarts will give an ample supply for the home garden.

It requires about six bushels to plant an acre. Per qt., 20c; by mail, 35c. Pk., 65c; bu., $2.00. Special prices on large quantities.

Asparagus

We advise every one who has a permanent garden to plant Asparagus. Once established it is good for years and furnishes a steady supply of a most delicious vegetable early in the season when such things are most ^ appreciated. '

It is not difficult to make an Asparagus bed. It is best started in the i Spring. The quickest results are obtained by purchasing plants one or two years old. Set these about two feet apart each way, six inches Asparagus Giant Argenteuil deep — the deeper they are, the later they are in starting in the Spring.

Do not cover the roots the entire six inches when first set out. Fhrrows ii can be made the proper depth, the plants covered three inches and after cultivation as the plants grow, you will have the ground level by the end of the first season.

Give good cultivation the first year and do not cut from the bed. Do not cut very close the Spring following. The third year you will have a good crop and can use it freely up to the time the stalks begin to get seedy, usually in May. Then let them grow and develop until Fall. After they are pretty well ripened cut them off and cover the bed with two to three inches of manure.

The ground should be dug deeply. Take off a foot of it with the spade and then dig up the soil below, mixng it with rotted manure. Replace the top soil and mark out your rows. You can grow Asparagus by merely spading the ground thoroughly the depth of the spade, but better results follow deeper work. The richer the ground the better your crop will ba It can be started readily from seed which is rather slow in sprouting, and an ounce will produce about 400 plants. Sow in the Spring and transplant the following Spring to permanent location. 100 plants are plenty for the average family. . . „ ,

The Asparagus beetle is sometimes troublesome and can be held in check by using a mixture of Hellebore and flour. Ten parts flour to one of Hellebore sprinkled over the plants. Slug Shot, sulphur or fresh slaked lime are also good applied while the dew is on the plants,.

These directions are for the home garden. For field culti- vation we would suggest reading a book entitled “Aspar- agus” by Hexemer, which we can furnish, for 50c.

Asparagus Seed

Columbian Mammoth White — Produces large white shoots even when not hilled up. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; % lb., 15c; lb., 50c; 5 lbs., 40c per lb.

Palmetto — Grown largely in the South. Rather earlier than other varieties. Of good size and quality. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 1/4 lb., 15c; lb., 50c; 5 lbs., 40c per lb.

Giant Argenteuil — This is a large variety, very vigorous and of fine flavor. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; i/4 lb., 15c; lb., 50c;

5 lbs., 40c per lb.

Conover’s Colossal — An old standard variety of good size and very hardy. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 14 lb., 15c; lb., 40c;

5 lbs., 35c per lb.

"T~^LUE^R-IBE>0N^SEEDS

Dwarf Beans

Also called String, Bush, Bunch and Snap Beans. One of the most popular vegetables Town and very easily produced. They are sensitive to cold and wet weather, so should ot be planted before April 1st in this latitude. Once the season arrives they can be own every two weeks on into August for a succession and take six to eight weeks to Toduce a crop of green Beans. Seed should be sown two to three inches deep in rows bout two feet apart, the plants standing about six inches apart in the row. Do not ultivate when wet. Any good garden soil is suitable for their growth. One pint will le sufficient for an average family, although, of course, if successive sowings are made^ nore will be needed. It requires from one to one and one-half bushels to plant an acre. We are again faced with an extremely short crop of hush Beans. There were ahso- utely no stocks carried over and we must depend on the past season’s crop to meet all •equirements. Early orders are urgently solicited, as all prices are subject to change without notice and will undoubtedly be higher as the season advances. Pive-cent I >ackets of Beans have proven unsatisfactory, as they do not contain sufficient seed for ;he home garden. We are, therefore, putting up extra large packets, for which we charge ;en cents.

Green Podded Varieties

When wanted by mail add 5c per pint, 10c per quart for postage

T WOOD.^STUE.BSi£/^CO.-INC

Pole or Corn Field Beans

These are much stronger growers than bush Beans and re- quire good, strong stakes. They give a much greater yield than bush Beans, but being more tender should never be planted before May in this section. Use poles about 8 feet long and set firmly four feet apart each way. Plant 5 to 8 Beans in a hill, li/^ to 2 inches deep. When well started thin to four plants in a hill. They are sometimes planted in the hills of field corn. One quart will plant 200 hills, one-half bushel an acre.

Improved Kentucky Wonder, Old Homestead or Texas Wonder

This is more largely grown than any of the either varieties on account of its being very vigorous and productive. The pods are often 9 or 10 inches long, being borne in large clusters and are quite stringless when young. The plants will continue to bear for weeks if the Beans are gathered as fast as they come to a suitable size. It is early and the best general purpose Bean in the list. We make a specialty of this and growers should try our Blue Ribbon Strain. Pkt., 10c; pt., 15c; qt., 30c; 4 qts., $1.00; bu., $6.50.

White Seeded Kentucky Wonder

Similar to the above except that the seed is white and pods not quite so large. It is desirable for shelling when green, also valuable as a dry Bean for Winter use. Known also as Berger’s Stringless Green Pod. Pkt., 10c; pt., 15c; qt., 30c; 4 qts., $1.00; bu., $7.00.

Horticultural Pole, October or Speckled Cranberry

A well-known variety with Beans of high quality, either green or dry. Not as vigorous a grower as some of the others. Also known as “Wren’s Egg.’ Pkt, 10c; pt, 15c; qt, 25c; 4 qts., 90c; bu., $6.00.

Horticultural Pole Bean

Red Speckled Cut Short or Corn Field

A popular variety for growing in corn, the vines being lighter than other varieties and will even grow without support; quite productive and of good quality. Pkt., 10c; pt, 15c; qt, 25c; 4 qts., 90c; bu., $6.00.

Fat Horse or Creaseback

Especially valuable on account _ of its earliness and the fact that the entire crop may generally be harvested at one time. The vines are small but produce large crops on good soil. Very good quality as snap Beans but the seed is rather small to shell green. Fine to use in the dry state. Pkt., 10c; pt., 15c; qt, 25c; 4 qts., 90c; bu., $6.00.

Lazy Wife

This is a good variety for either snap Beans or to be shelled when green. The medium sized pods are borne in clusters and are stringless and of fine quality. The dry Beans are white and valuable for Win- ter use, Pkt, 10c; pt, 20c; qt., 35c; 4 qts., $1.25.

SPECIAL PRICES

Those using large quantities of Beans and Peas shordd ask for price stating quantity required.

The dr^’- Beans being about twice as Pkt., 5c; pt., 15c; qt., 25c; 4 qts., 85c;

Wax Podded Varieties

These are just as tender and stringless as any of the Green Pod varieties and of delicious flavor. The pods have a waxy appearance and are a bright golden yellow. Should be picked before the Beans are formed, when the pods will be found brittle and stringless.

Wardwell’s Kidney Wax

A wonderfully popular variety largely planted both for the market and home gar- den. The plants are very productive and the pods large and handsome. Pkt., 10c; pt., 20c; qt., 35c; 4 qts., $1.25; bu., $9.00.

Keeney’s Rustless Golden Wax

Lima Beans

If wanted by mail, add 5c per pint and 10c per quart for postag-e.

Dwarf or Bush Varieties

We recommend this type as the Beans are much more easily grown and gathered than the pole varieties. They can be grown closer together, the quality is equally as good and as a rule the dwarf varieties are earlier than the Pole Limas. No Lima should be planted until the ground is dry, w(>at]ier warm and danger of frost is passed. They do best in light, rich soil. Plant in rows two to three feet apart, the seeds three or four inches apart and about two inches deep. When planted in hills, put 5 Beans in a hill, making the hills 2V2 feet apart each way. The pole varieties require treatment as ordinary pole Beans, except that they are usually planted about 10 days later. A quart of the large-seeded varieties will plant 100 hills; of the small-seeded, 200 hills. It requires one bushel and one-half bushel respectively tO’ plant an acre. Never cultivate when the plants are damp. They mature in from 75 tO' 90 days from planting.

Pole Varieties

Carpinteria

All things considered, this is undoubtedly the best pole Lima. It is unusually vigorous and produces a heavy crop of large pods, which contain 3 to 4 Beans of extra size and having a peculiar greenish tinge, denoting superior quality. It is highly recom- mended both for the home garden and market. Pkt, 10c; pt., 20c; Qt, 30c; 4 qts., $1.00; bu., $7.00.

About Bean Prices

It has been a very difficult matter to establish prices on Beans this season. Reports fro our growers were quite favorable until nearing time of maturity when heavy rains and e; tremly unfavorable weather was reported from all sections. Now that the crop has bet harvested and growers know exactly where they stand, it has developed that conditions a much worse than anticipated. This, together with the fact that last year’s demand used i; all the available stocks, both those held over and the short crop of 1913, makes it necessar to depend entirely on the short crop of 1914 for this season’s supply. Therefore, we sa buy early if you expect to plant Beans.

Broccoli

A vegetable resembling Cauliflower, but requiring a long, cool season. The heads are not as compact as Cauliflower, but the plants are hardier; should be given the same treat- ment. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; lb., 75c; lb., $2.50.

Ford’s Mammoth Podded Idma Bean

Beets

Any good garden soil will grow Beets, although all root crops do best in a fine loamy soil and one which is fairly rich. For early use the seed can be sown in a hot-bed and trans- planted, but an early crop can be obtained even if sown out- doors, for the seed should be sown soon as the ground can be worked. Put in rows 15 inches apart, the seed an inch deep and pack the soil well over it. When well started, thin to six inches apart. The young plants make excellent greens and the seed is often sown thick and the rows thinned for greens. Seed of such varieties as Crosby or Detroit Dark Red can be sown on to May for a late crop. One ounce will be sufficient for the average garden. Seven pounds to the acre. Ready to use in about six weeks from sowing.

Mangels and Sugar Beets

Every farmer should grow these for stock-feeding. Tliey are heavy yielders and are very valuable as feed, both for dairy cows and general stock. We cannot recommend them too highly. Seed can be sown in April, May or June, using six pounds per acre. Rows should be 21^ to 3 feet apart, and plants should be thinned to eight inches apart. Roots should be gathered before frost and stored in the barn or piled in the field where drainage is good. Cover gradually as the weather becomes cool, using straw first and a few inches of soil.

Cabbage

Tills IS a round-hieaded, extra-early Cabbag'e, which has come to the front very fast. It mig-ht be called an extra-early type of Danish Ball-head, the shape and quality being" much like that fine late Cabbage. Our strain has a short stem and produces a solid, round head.

$2.00.

There is no crop of which the quality of the seed is more important than this, and in order tO' grow profitable crops the ground must be well enriched and cultivation, thorough. For early use, seed can be started in January and February. For mid-Summer, in March, and for late Fall and Winter, seed can be sown up to the first of June. The plants can be set from 18 to 36 inches apart each way, according to variety. When the heads are mature they are inclined to crack and this may be prevented somewhat by loosening the roots, pushing the plants over on one side, accomplishing the desired results. Slug Shot, if sprinkled over the plants when damp will usually keep down the green worms which are troublesome, but this should not be used once the heads are developed. One ounce will produce 1500 plants; six ounces sown are enough for an acre.

Gentlemen — The garden seeds purchased from you have given excellent re- sults. The Copenhagen Market and Charleston Wakefield Cabbages were especially fine strains. The Copenhagen Market was the purest strain I have ever used, and proved a money- maker. EVery stalk made a good head in spite of the extremely dry weather.

WM. GENENWEIN.

These hardy Cabbage plants can be set out a month or six weeks earlier than home grown plants. The condition under which they are grown makes them very tough and hardy. The buds are purple, the outer leaves a reddish brown, which gives them a hard, stunted appearance, nevertheless they will produce the crop results. Eight to ten degrees above zero will not in- jure them, as they have an established root growth, obtained only in field grown plants.

To get the advantage of these frost-proof Cabbage plants they must be planted a month or six weeks earlier than you would plant home-grown plants.

We guarantee good order delivery, and can supply direct from our grower. Early Jersey, Charleston Wakefield, Succession, and Early Flat Dutch from Jan- uary 1st to April 15th at the following rates:

Cauliflower

A vegetable requiring very rich soil, con- stant cultivation and plenty of moisture to do its best. It is a good plan to set the plants at such times as to avoid their com- ing to maturity during the dry season. The early crop heading before and the late crop not coming on until after the dr5'' season is over. It requires 90 to 100 days from time of setting the plants until they mature heads. The leaves should be drawn up soon as the head begins to form in order to pro- tect them from the sun. One-fourth ounce will produce 500 plants, three ounces are required for an acre.

Celery

Celery seed is very slow in^ g-erminating- and should therefore be sown in finely prepared rich soil which can be kept moist. For early use it is advisable to sow in hot-beds or in shallow boxes in the house or earlj^ in April in the open grround. Pack the soil well over the seed with the foot or with back of the spade. Transplant soon as larg-e enough to handle, setting’ the plants 6 inches apart in the row. Trim off the tops of the plants and set firmly. It does best on soil where there is plenty of moisture but will grow on upland provided it is rich and the crop well cultivated. It can be planted in single or double rows in furrows a little below the level of the soil and earthed up as it grows. Care should be taken not to get the soil into the heart of the plant. When cold weather comes take up and set the plants closely together and cover gradually with straw and leaves to keep out frost.

Garden Corn

When wanted by mail add 5c per Pint and 10c per Quart for Postage.

Ttie early Garden Corns, such as the Adams and E'arly Northern Field Corn, ' can be planted the end of March or early in April. Sug-ar Corns cannot be planted i . until the ground begins to get warm. Frequent cultivation is necessary to have good Corn. The Adams and Northern Field Corn can be planted in rows three feet apart, the grains about 12 to 15 inches apart, one inch deep or in hills of six grains, three feet apart, each way. The Sugar or Sweet Corns, can be handled about the same except that such dwarf varieties as Golden Bantam and Mammoth White Cory can be planted rather closer. For succession, one can either plant several varieties which mature at different seasons or use one variety and planted every two weeks up to> July. A pint will plant 200 hills, six to eight quarts an acre. It will be ready for the table in from sixty to seventy i days from planting.

Cucumbers

Everybody can grow these and a few hills will furnish all that an averagei family requires both for use through the Summer and for pick- ' . ling. The soil cannot be too rich. Plant the seed' in, hills four feet apart each way, putting ten seeds to a hill, one inch deep. After dangei ' ■ from striped beetlesi isi past, thin to four good plants in a hill. Work the ground deeply where the hills' are made and mix in a couple of forks ■ of well-rotted stable manure. F'or very early planting, a few seeds car ■ be put in pots, strawberry boxes, pieces of sod, etc., or in a hot-bed ano when settled weather comes, transplanted tO' the open ground. The first i planting outdo'ors can be made in this section about May 1st and for latt pickles seed can be put in in June and July. Do- not allow any cucum- li bers to ripen on the vines, as the latter will cease bearing as soon as ! Cucumbers mature. The striped beetles are frequently very troublesome It is well tO' mix some tobaccO' dust with the soil where the seed is sown (t or scatter tobacco stems about and when the plants are well up, dust | with slug' shot or bug death every day or so until the plants are well i along. Do not wait until the beetles have become troublesome, as they ; destroy the plants very rapidly. lOne ounce of seed is sufficient for 50 ■ hills, 2 pounds per acre. They will be ready for use in about two months ' from sowing the seed. 'j

]targe growers of sets should write for special prices on seed.

On© of the most popular vegetables and should be in every garden, large or small. It can be raised readily either from sets or seed, both of which should be planted soon as the ground is in working order. The seed can also be sown in hot-beds early and transplanted to; rows 12 inches apart, the plants four inches apart in the row. When handled in this way the larger varieties, such as Prize Taker or Silver King, are generally used. The seed can be sown in the open ground in rows 12 inches apart and thinned to three inches apart for large Onions. If grown for sets, seed should be sown thickly and not thinned. Onions require rich soil and constant cultivation. The soil should be well prepared before the crop is planted, Elarly green Onions can best be obtained by planting sets, either Potato Onions or the small Onions raised from seed. Potato Onions can be planted in the Fall or Spring, about two inches deep, th© regular sets early as possible in the Spring. If not used as green Onions, they will mature much earlier than Onions from seed. If larg© Onions are desired sow five to six pounds per acre; for pickling Onions, 15 pounds per acre, and for sets 40 to 60 pounds per acre.

Parsley

Parsley is easily grown, only it takes several weeks for it to come up, hence the ground where it is sown is often covered with weeds or dug over with the belief that the seed is no good. The seed may be soaked several hours in warm water before sowing which will hasten germina- tion. Sow it early in the Spring in rows a foot apart. It can also be used to border beds, making a very pretty effect. One ounce will sow a 150-foot row. A few plants can be taken up in the Pall and put in pots or boxes in a sunny window and will continue to furnish leaves for flavoring or garnishing throughout the Winter.

Parsnips

Peanuts

Peas

One of our best Winter vegetables: and very easily grown. Seed can b© sown soon as the ground is in condition to work. Thinning the plants to four inches apart as soon as they are large enough to handle. The rows should be 15 to 18 inches: apart. The seed covered about one-fourth inch and the ground well packed over it as the seed sprouts very slowly and may take about three weeks to come up. The roots will be much finer if the ground has been worked deeply. Parsnips can either be dug in late Fall and pitted or left in open ground throughont the Winter. For the home garden the latter is preferable as the roots are much finer flavored after they have been well frozen in the open ground. One ounce of seed will sow 200 feet of drill; five toi six pounds per acre.

Large buyers will please ask for special prices.

Peas are readily grown in all gardens and should be planted early as the ground is in working order. The hard, round Peas such as Blue Ribbon Chieftain, Claudit and Alaska, are the hardiest and can be sown a week or two- ahead of the Wrinkled Peas and as Nott’s Etxceksuirm Gradus, etc.

The early varieties will co-me on faster if they are planted rather shallow, a couple of inches being deep enough, but the later plantings should be covered three inches, the soil being well packed over the .seed. One will usually get a better average crop by planting all varieties early and de- pending on the different varieties to furnisih a succession, rather than using on© variety and planting it at intervals during the season as Peas make their growth in cool weather an( should be well started by hot weather time. While the seed can be sowm in single rows, a very satisfactory way i.‘ to open with a hoe, the full width of it and broadcast the seed thinly in the bottom. If brushing or staking i; , done, rows of this sort are much easier handled than single rows. For Fall use, seed of the early varieties;, can be sown in August. A pint of seed is required for a single row 50 feet in length; one and a half to two bushels per acre. In garden cultivation the rows of the dwarf er kinds can be two and a half feet apart, but the tall varieties'! wall require three feet. The hard, round Peas will be ready for use in 50 to 60 days. The others require a little longej’l time.

Second crop Potatoes are usually planted from the middle of July on to the tenth of August in this section.

Potatoes can be planted in rows about two and a half feet apart, the Potatoes being 10 or 12 inches apart in the row. Use 8D0 to 1000 pounds broadcast of Acme Potato' Fertilizer or 500 pounds in the rows, per acre. It requires three barrels of Second Crop or four of Northern Grown to plant an acre.

Potato' prices are constantly changing. Ask for prices when ready to plant. Sacks are included at prices quoted.

Culture — Put the Potatoes into hot-beds in April, covering with three inches of earth, and after they begin to grow give plenty of air on sunny days and water -regularly. In May or June set out in rows three feet, apart and fifteen inches apart in the rows. The land should be plowed shallow in order tO' produce the short, chunicy PotatO' most largely in demand. Apply a fertilizer having only a small percentage of nitrogen and a large amount of potash, such as Acme Brand Potato Fertilizer.

We can supply the following varieties in April: Yellow Jersey, Red Jersey, Red and White Bermuda, and Southern

Queens.

I'

I:

An Invaluable Bistrihutor of Insecticides and Pungicides in the Orchard, Vineyard, Garden or Field

The Champion Gun has received unqualified endorsement and given universal satisfaction wherever used. It distributes without adulteration dry Paris Green, London Purple, Hellebore, Lime, Dry Bordeaux Mixture, Tobacco Dust, and other insecticides evenly and with only one-tenth of the labor, time, and cost required by other devices and any other meth- ods, and with far greater efficiency. It will cover one or two rows at once as fast as a man walks, can be regulated easily for quantities and will do as much work in a day as a horse-power sprayer. Champion Guns have been used ex- tensively in Potato and Tobacco sections and have always given perfect satisfaction. They are adaptable to any and all purposes and do efficient work on potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, etc. ,in fact all garden and field crops. EIxtension tubes enable the gun to be used on fruit and shade trees or in the vineyard. Among potato and tobacco growers they have become almost indispensable, performing their work in an effective and rapid manner without waste of material, and by far the most economical instrument ever offered for applying remedies for insects. Circulars giving fur- ther information on application. Price with all at- tachments, $8.00.

Acme Powder Bellows

A simple and practical implement for applying all powdered insecticides, such as Paris Green, Helle- bore, Insect Powder, Slug Shot, etc. It is very ef- fective in the destruction of potato bugs, currant worms, melon bugs, tobacco worms, cabbage worms, and other insects that affect plants. It will apply powder at the top sides or underneath the leaves of plants; Acme Powder Guns are well made, with solid hardwood head block, hardwood handles, best leather for the bellows, and an extra elbow is fur- nished to tilt the funnel for getting under the leaves of the plants and shrubs. It is easy to operate, light, serviceable, and the most useful to farm or garden. EJvery farmer should have one. Single Acme Bellows, each $1.00; Double Acme Bellows, each $1.75.

Paris Green

A strong and effective poison for potato bugs and other leaf-eating insects. Can be applied either dry or in a solution of water; if dry use one of the above dusters; if diluted use one pound of Green to 100 gallons of water. For tender foliage or trees double the quantity of water. Paris Green acts a little quicker than Arsenate of Lead, but washes off more easily. It is better to use on garden crops or tobac- c^o, and Arsenate of Lead is best for trees. Paris Green and Bordeaux Mixture give excellent results on Potatoes, the Green killing the bugs and the Bor- deaux preventing blight. Price fluctuates. Present price, 1/2 lb., 15c; lb., 20c; 5 lbs. at 18c; 100 lbs. about 15c per lb.

Squash or Cymling

There are two types of these, the Summer and Winter varieties. The former are used when they are about half-grown and are soft and tender, but are of no value when matured. Tlie Winter Squash is one of our finest Winter vegetables and should be largely grown. No variety can be planted until the weather has become warm, as the plants are very susceptible to cold, damp weather. For the Summer varieties, hills, can be made four to six feet apart. For the Winter varieties they should be eight to ten feet apart. The ground should be made very rich. Sow eight or ten seeds in a hill and after danger from bugs or cutworms is over, thin to four plants in a hill. The striped beetle and large Squash bug are very troublesome, but can be held in check if tobacco dust or stems are freely used in the hills and the plants dusted frequently about with slug shot, air-slaked lime or fine dry ashes mixed with road dust. An ounce of the Summer varieties will plant 30 hills; of the Winter sorts, 15 hills.

Seed can be grown in a hot-bed or in boxes in the house for earliest plants and later in cold-frames or in the open ground as soon as danger of frost is past. If sown thinly in rows they will stand until large enough to handle. Enough plants can be started in an ordinary cigar box tO' supply the average family, but they would of course have to be trans- planted to pots or other boxes tO' afford room for growth. Tomatoes are one of the earliest vegetables to grow from seed and all should have them as they are not at all particular as to soil. Where possible it is well to make this rich, either with stable manure or a good potash fertilizer. Set the plants three to four feet apart each way and cultivate welL An ounce of seed will produce about 1500 plants. Three to four ounces are sufficient for an acre.

Turnips

Turnips are very easily grown, but to have roots of good quality they should make a rapid groiwth. For early i Summer use, it is advisable to get them sown early (February or March), so that growth can be made before hot ' weather comes. For Fall or Winter use, sow from July to September. They can be sown in drills or broadcast. An j ounce will sow 400 feet of drill, or a plot 19x19 feet broadcast. An acre requires one and a half pounds if drilled, or two pounds broadcast. The ground can hardly be too rich and seed will start much quicker if sown in freshly stirred soil. When sown in drills, thin out as soon as plants are large enough to handle. The salad, Turnips require three ! pounds to the acre. Ruta Baga or Swede Turnips should be sown in July or early August and be well cultivated. '

Turnips are very fine for stock-feeding, as well as for table use, and should be grown more largely. They are very ■' productive, easy to grow and the cost of seeding is practically nothing. Our Turnip seed is French grown and is. extra fine.

Blue Ribbon Flower Seeds

There are very few places where some variety of flower n cannot be grown and certainly where there is any space a i all, one should have flowers. Our list is not an extensiv j ( one, but there is a sufficient variety that all can hav ' flowers, who will devote a little time and attention t' a i their care, and experience is not necessary to produce man; ^|j of our most popular varieties. For the beginner, we woul / suggest such kinds as Alyssum, Aster, Calliopsis, Centaurea ; Cosmos, Nasturtium, Dianthus, Poppies, Verbenas and Zin | nias. These all grow readily from seed, but care should h taken to keep the ground moist where they are sown. They in common with all other seeds, should be sown thinly am i the ground pressed firmly over them, when they are covered ;

It is a good plan to sow in rows four inches apart, three quarters of an inch deep, and then transplant to the perma nent garden later. This applies to all the above with ex ception of Poppies, which will not transplant and can bt sown where they are to flower, and to Nasturtiums, whicl have large seeds and can be sown a couple of inches apart one and a half inches deep, where they are to flower. ' We hear the terms Annual, Perennial, and Biennial usee in connection with plants and these indicate their length ol life in the garden. Seeds of an Annual plant sown thu Spring produce a crop this season and diei in the Fall as soon as frost comes. Asters, Cosmos and Zinnias are com- mon types of Annuals. Seeds of Perennials produce plants this season which, with few exceptions, will not flower this year, but live over to next season, and then flower. Most of them continue to live for a number of years and these There are comparatively few Biennials and these are plants

Semple’s Branching* Aster

constitute our “Hardy Flowers” such as Hollyhocks, Sweet William, etc. which, growing from seed sown this Spring, do not flower this year, but live over until next year, flower, and then die. The Cam panula or Canterbury Bell is a well-known form. The Foxglove also, except that if not allowed to ripen seed, the latter will develop a new growth at the root and live over to the second year.

Annuals are designated as hardy, half-hardy and tender. All hardy Annuals can be sown when Peas and Radishes are in the vegetable garden. Heilf-hardy Annuals may be sown at corn-planting time, or when there is little danger of frost, and tender Annuals should not be sown until the ground is warm and weather settled; usually in May.

The abbreviations, A-P-B, indicate the type of plant. Annual, Perennial or Biennial, respectively, and the letters, H. A., H. H. A., and T. A., indicate Hardy Annual, Half-hardy Annual, and Tender Annual.
