Hardy annuals are those which may be sown in the open ground. Half hardy annuals are those which should be started in the house and transplanted to the garden. The term biennial is applied to plants which flower the second season after planting and then perish. The term per- ennial is applied to plants which flower the second season after planting, and continue to flower year after year.

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

ASPARAGUS

German, — Gpargel. French, — Asperge.

Spanish, — Esparragos.

One ounce for 60 feet of drill.

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 he 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 iso 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.

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 later. 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 advantageus 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.

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- sides that which i& 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 on 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; lb., ,75; lb., $2.50.

It is one of the largest early cab- bages we have seen, and may be set out as late as the last of July or first of August in this latitude, and will make large, fine heads for late fall or winter use. The great merit of this cabbage lies in the perfect uniformi- ty of its growth. The plants are compact, and have few outside leaves, and can be planted close together, and will produce very large crop. Pkt., .05; oz., .25; 4-

CARROT

German, — Rohre. French, — Garrotte.

Spanish, — Zanahoria.

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

Carrots require a very finely pulver-ized 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% 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 % 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 Cauliflower 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 geting fine, large heads of first-class quality. The seed should be 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 snov,' white heads of tt>e most rn'm 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 su- perior strain originated in Denmark. It is about two weeks later than our Snowball ; makes a larger head and is very resisting against unfavorable seasons and dry weathe' . We would suggest to our customers who have had trouble in raising other kinds of Cauliflower, to give this variety a trial, as to our minds the chances of success with this cauliflower is increased many fold over any other strain.

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 for cultivation.

CORN — Sugar

German,— Welfchkorn. French,— Mais.

Spanish,— M'aiz.

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

Corn requires a good soil and a warm situ- ation. Commence for first early by planting 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 be 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 districts.

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 sel- dom fails to produce a crop. The Early Canada seed we have to offer was grown in this State. Prom the fact that this corn ma- urned in good shape last season it is suffi- cient evidence that it is early and well adapted to this climate.

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

CORN — Continued

HASKELL’S PRIZE-TAKER CORN

This corn has fully maintained its past rec- ord as being the very best fint 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 :nuct more profitable corn for ensilage than any of the dent varieties. We have this corn both on he cob and shelled.

One ounce will plant 50 hills; 2 pounds vvill 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. Pine old manure (about six cords per acre) is sufficient; or, better still, plant on land from which a crop has been taken, and which was heavily manured for that crop.

CUCUMBER — Continued

Davis Perfectr 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 fiesh 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 spring greens. Sow as early as the weather will permit, in good, well-enriched soil, in rows 12 inches apart, covering seed 14 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

LETTUCE

German, — Lattich. French, — Laitue.

Spanish, — Lechuga.

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 pounds in hills per acre.

Melons thrive best in a light, rich soil. Plant ealy 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. Peed liquid manure occasionally. A few hills for early use may be had by sowing on pieces of sod 'in a hotbed, and when warm bhough transplant to open ground.

Emerald Gem Melon. The Emerald Gem is entirely unlike any other muskmelon yet introduced. The melons are about the size of the 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.

Pkt., .05; oz., .10; J/4 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 ihelons 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.

ONION

Select the dean, 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. "V^en 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 smali top. It is the most productive onion grown.

PARSNIP

German, — Pastinake. French, — Panais.

Spanish, — Pastinaca.

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

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.

Owing to the conditions which existed at the time of harvesting Onions Sets this past season, it is extremely doubtful if we have any sets to offer, the crop being an almost entire failure.

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 s'oaking the seed for a few hours in tepid water. Sow thickly in rows a floot 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 strongfy 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. tVlien 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.

RADISH — Continued

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; !4 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 [4 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 down- ward it is a pure waxy white. It will attain a very large size before it comes unfit for the table.

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

SALSIFY or OYSTER PLANT

German, — Bocksbart. French, — Salsifls.

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; !4 lb., .50

SIMPLEX SEPARATOR

Cannot be beaten. The easiest running cieanest skimming, simplest in construction and less work to clean of any machine on the market.

Send for Speciai Catalogue if interested in the best machine to be had.

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 ail varieties as follows:

Pkt., .05; oz., .10; 1/4 lb., .25

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.

New Zealand. A valuable variety for the garden as it produces the thick, tender leave throughout the summer. Grows very large and luxuriantly in warm,' rich soil.

Long Standing Thick Leaved. Stands longest before running to seed; dark green.

SUNFLOWER

Mammoth Russian. The standard large- growing variety, which is used largely for feeding poultry.

SQUASH

German, — Kurbiss. French, — Courge.

Spanish, — Caiabaza.

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 liability to decay.

Improved Hubbard. The well-known and standard late variety; our strain is excellent.

Pkg., .05; oz., .10; J4 lb., .30; lb., $1.00.

Pkg., .05; oz., ,10; 1/4 lb., .30; lb., $1.00.

TOriATO

German, — Liebsapfel.

Spanish, — Tomate.

In this latitude to produce extra early to- matoes the seed should be planted in the hotbed about the middle of February, in drills five inches apart, and not over one- half inch deep. When the plants are two inches high they should be transplanted three to four inches apart, and when about four inches high should again be trans- planted; this time about five inches apart. 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 planted 3% feet apart and the spreading varieties 4 to 4% feet apart.

Earliana. It is remarkable for its earli- ness, very large size, handsome shape and bright red color. Its solidity and fine quali- ties are equal to the best medium and late

sorts. Pkt., .05; oz., .30; J4 lb., $1.00.

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 manned the previous year, is the best, a few hundred pounds per acre of quick-acting fertilizer will have a tendency to make the roots smooth, and to make the rapid growth so essential in producing sweet and palatable turnips.

Ruta Bagas, or Sweets, 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 cultivatidn 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; !4 lb., .20; lb., .50

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 according to their quality, grading down from our Purity Brand, which is always the best.

INSECTICIDES and FUNGICIDES

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 Insects — U se 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 intervals using the same formula. As the fruit ripens use Formula No. 9.

STRAWBERRY — Mildew — Use Formula No. 5 at flrst 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 ei- ther may be used in combinaion with the Bordeaux Mixture.

TOMATOES — Blight and Rot — Use Formula No. 5 when flrst fruit is 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 cut- ting 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 spray- ing. 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 Bordeaux Mixture, so as to get the two liquids poured into the barrel evenly.

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

ter, 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.

This Hover combines the best that twenty years of poultry experience, coupled with more than fifty years of stove-building experience have accomplished to date. It is remarkable for its simplicity of design and ruggedness of construction. The fire pot is a one- piece heavy-weight casting of ample capacity. The ash pit and heater base are also cast in one piece — therefore is fire-tight. Automatic regulator is pro vided, which we recommend for the sake of economy of fuel; also for use in severe weather.

There is nothing about the entire device to give way or break easily, or to get out of order. It is as easy to operate as a kitchen range and can be relied upon to do the work for which it is intended. ' PRICES

STANDARD CYPHERS BROODERS

The Standard Cyphers Brooders are not only tire-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 chickens.

These Cyphers 1916 Brooders, all sizes and styles, are Style A. Two Apartment Brooder self-regulating, self-ventilating and varment-proof. They are usable also as colony coops for the growing chicks. They are easily and quickly convert- ed into colony roosting coops by simply taking out the hover, which is made removable for that purpose.

THIS DOUBLE USE of the Cyhpers 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 1916 Brooders contain either two or three apartments. The popular Style B (shown in illustration herewith) contains three Sty 8 B. Three Apartment Brooder apartments: first, roomy -space under the hover;

second, hover chamber; third, well-Tghted exercising apartment. It has often been said by users of Cyphers Brooders that “They Mother the Chicks Better than a Hen.”

INTERNATIONAL SANITARY HOVERS

Advantages p o s sessed by the In- t ernational S a n i t ary Hover and not to be found i n any other brood ing device.

1. It is warmer at the curtain than near the center. This causes the chicks to distrib- ute them- selves just back of the edge of the curtain where they have a constant supply of fresh air and plenty of room.

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

3. The lamp holder can be lifted out thru 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.

2-PIECE DRINK FOUNTS

CHICK FEED TROUGHS

Black Iron, galvanized after fount has been completed. This assures a smoother, better-looking fountain and keeps the edge at the top from rusting. When the galvaniz- ing is done first, turning the edge cracks it and makes it liable to rust.

Small, .20; Medium, .25; Large, .35 WALL FOUNTS

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., .60; 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 grate 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

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.

Price with lid .76

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 curved bottom of the hopper always keeps the feed within easy reach of the birds. The flange at the edge prevents any possibility of waste and the small wires extending from the flange to the wire grid prevent 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 lower side than at the top, thus making it utterly impossible for the food to clog. 12-in. 12 qt.. Price $1.10; 18-in. 18 qt.. Price $1.50; 24-in. 24 qt.. Price $1.75.

Favorite Dry Mash 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.

IS JUST what its name implies. It is a large, rust-proof, galvanized, steel hop- per supported on four strong iron legs and devised to hold all the food necessary for poultry. The centeer 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. Surrounding this center hopper are six com- partments made to contain dry mash, beef scraps, grit, charcoal, oyster shells, etc., easily accessable 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

THE COLONIAL PAINT

THE COLONIAL PAINT is a Pure Linseed Oil Paint that has been on the market for many years, and is considered one of the lead- ing brands.

The materials composing this product, carefully treated as they are, make a paint of great toughness and elasticity that has excellent covering capacity and durability.

As the choicest coloring ingredients are used in making this product the richest coloring tone and finest finish is developed, and the building to which it is applied presents a beauty of appearance which distinguishes it from others in the locality.

THE COLONIAL PAINT is manufactured in forty different shades from which beauti- ful color combinations can be made, that will not only harmonize with the architectural design of any building, but also with the surroundings, thereby making the property much more attractive, and also increasing its value.

THE COLONIAL PAINT can be sold with perfect assurance that it will meet the de- mand of every user. BRONZITE

The Permanent Green Paint

Made from an ore base, Kolonite, which gives it stability of color. BRONZITE is recommended for the painting of store fronts, doors, blinds, structural and ornamental work, fences, and in fact all outside surfaces generally where a green paint is desired.

BRONZITE is impervious to chemical action, atmospheric condi- tions, resists heat and is non-corrosive.

BRONZITE is a specialty green, the green that is different — it lasts, wears and holds its color, and covers more surface than other greens.

BRONZITE is put up in six shades, in paste form in 12% and 25 pound pails, also in liquid form.

VEL-VE-TA

The Sanitary Washable Wall Finish VEL-VE-TA is manufactured under a patented formula — contains no lead or other poisonous pigments, and although applied to the sur- face like an oil paint, when dry it is non-absorbent, can be washed with soap and water, and is therefore sanitary.

It dries with a beautiful soft and velvety finish, which is pleasing and restful to the eye.

It will not turn yellow, crack, craze or peel. It will not show laps, streaks or brush marks.

VEL-VE-TA is recommended for the interior decoration in homes and public buildings, and in factories. It is equally adapted for this use because it effuses light.

I Dries with a high durable gloss,

f I It is money well spent to protect implements from rust and decay.
