BUSINESS INSTRUCTIONS

What We Do and What You Should Do

ORDER NOW — in January or February if possible
before the spring rush begins. March and April are
our busy months and our full force works day and
night at high speed. Now to help both you and us we
will allow a ten per cent discount on all orders of
$1.00 or more in one order (except collections, which
are net), that are received up to March the first. Every
order filled during January and February helps us
just that much and we are passing this on to you.

EARLY ORDERING. — It will be helpful to our cus¬
tomers, as well as ourselves, to have orders placed early.
Our policy is to make prompt shipments, but this is
impossible as the busy season reaches its height. If
your order is received late we may be sold out, as in
case of shortage of crops, with no more stock obtainable.
Send your order early ; we will do the rest.

HOW TO SEND MONEY — Remittances can be sent
safely by Post Office Money Order, Bank Draft,
Express Money Order, Check or by Registered Letter.
We accept stamps for small amounts. Be sure you
register your letters if they contain cash. Money
orders are the most economical and practical means of
remitting.

RETURNING MONEY — If we cannot fill your
order for any item we will at once return the money
sent for same. We will not keep your money without
adequate returns to you, send you due bill or substitute
something you do not want.

HOW TO ORDER — Fill out the order sheet enclosed
herewith, writing your name and address very plainly.
If you have lost our order blank any kind of paper will
do. Just be sure you write your name and address
plainly. We’ll take care of the order.

PREPAY STATIONS — When you send in orders to
go by freight or express, be sure you send extra money
to pay the transportation charges, if your station is a
prepay point, which is always the case where there is
no regular agent. If you send more than enough, we
will refund it as soon as we get the prepay bill. If not
enough, we will write for the balance and expect you to
remit promptly.

CORRESPONDENCE — We try to give prompt atten¬
tion to all proper letters of inquiry, etc., but ask, as a
favor, that all questions be stated clearly and briefly,
and not on order sheets.

THIS IS OUR SILENT SALESMAN— He calls on
you once or perhaps twice. We know you are always
pleased to see him — he is sent out to make sales. If
you want him to call again, favor him with an order.
We know he has something you will want and he also
gives you a lot of information.

OUR TERMS ARE STRICTLY CASH WITH THE ORDER

We do not send C. O. D., as the cost of collecting return charges is quite an unnecessary item of expense and
the prices being given, we can conceive of no necessity to warrant goods being so sent.

NAME AND ADDRESS SHOULD ALWAYS BE GIVEN

Frequently we receive unsigned letters. Sometimes they contain money and orders. Sometimes, too, letters
are received in which the name of the town is left out and the postmark is blurred. We cannot fill orders unless
we know the name and address of the buyer. The easiest way for you is to use our order sheet, filling in the blanks.

MARKET-GARDENERS are requested to send us a list of the vegetable seeds they intend purchasing. We
shall be glad to submit low prices on them. Market-gardeners who purchase seed in large quantities are entitled
to a reduction in accordance with the quantity bought. Write us fully and we shall be very glad to reply and
give prices.

Our Guarantee

All goods are guaranteed to reach you in good condition; mistakes,
~ c . j if made, will be promptly rectified. Accept shipment, examine and

shrub or plant is a living organism, as much as a cow, horse or man. It breathes,
feeds, and is liable to attacks of disease and insects. At prices we sell, it is imposst
to guarantee growth or to be responsible for stock after delivery to our customers in good
condition.

GUARANTEE

Seeds of the best quality are apt to fail through improper treatment by sowing the seed
too deep or too shallow, in too wet or too dry soil. They differ greatly as to the temperature
required for germination. Some will germinate rapidly at a certain temperature, while
others, if sown under the same conditions, are apt to decay, and for all these reasons it is
impractical to guarantee seeds. I give no warranty, expressed or implied, as to description,
quality, productiveness, or any other matter, of any seeds, bulbs or plants sent out, and will
not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods on
these terms, they are at once to be returned. J. J. BUTZER.

DO YOU WANT THIS CATALOG?

Be sure and send us an order for seeds if you want this catalog next year. If you do
not send us an order your name is taken from our mailing list, believing you have
changed your address, or you may have come to the store, where you can get a catalog at
the counter. We prefer to have you on our list as an annual customer; then you will always
get our catalog as soon as it comes from the press. When you change your address notify
11s if you want this catalog.

NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1935

AND PRECEDING YEARS

The following list of Flower Seeds is carefully selected to meet the demand of those who desire the finest.
It contains many of the very new introductions as well as some of the latest and finest developments of the
older strains of flowers.

AGERATUM

Blue Cap. 6 in. The flowers are much larger than
those of Little Blue Star and of a deeper and richer
color. It also surpasses Blue Ball in dwarfness and
compactness of habit and the regular form of its in¬
florescence. The foliage is small and the plants have
the appearance of miniature domes, so that it is
quite ideal for edgings to flower borders. Pkt. 15c.

Little Silver Star. Is distinguished for its compact,
close habit. The even, round, cushion-shaped plants
which are only 4 to 5 inches high, measure from 8 to
10 inches across. When flowering they are so thickly
covered with silver grey star-like flowers that the
small light green leaves are practically hidden. The
seedlings come as true as can be expected from
Ageratum. Pkt. 15c.

ASTER WILT RESISTANT GOLDEN
SHEAF (Bodger) (Grower’s Description)

We take pleasure in introducing Golden Sheaf, the
deepest yellow aster yet offered, and the only one that
is wilt resistant. The flowers are fully double, with
an attractive crest-like center, of good substance and
fine depth of petal. It has all the characteristics of
the Aurora type of aster so popular now with florists.
The flowers last well when cut, and are excellent
shippers. Pkt. 25c.

ASTER WILT RESISTANT BLUE
FLAME (Bodger)

(Grower’s Description)

In line with the trend of the times, we present
Blue Flame, one of our contributions to the code for
better flowers. The color is bright navy blue, distinct
from any other dark blue or purple aster now offered,
of the Giant Branching Crego class, with large Crego
type flowers, fully double, on branching plants, suitable
for cutting or garden use. The strain is very robust
and wilt resistant. Pkt. 25c.

ASTER PAEONY-FLOWERED PURPLE
ROBE (Howard-Bodger)

(Grower’s Description)

Each season sees additions to this superb florist type
of aster. Last year we introduced Rosebud and Silvery
Rose, and now we are following these
with Purple Robe, the first purple in
the Paeony-flowered type. The flowers
are large, well formed, fully double, of
a very deep shade of purple blue. We
recommend Purple Robe as a new cut
flower for florists. Pkt. 25c.

ASTER GIANT MAMMOTH
PAEONY FLOWERED
ROSEBUD

The color of this aster is that rare,
clear deep rose which reminds one of a
newly opened rosebud, still fresh with
dew. The flowers are large, well formed
and fully double, borne on the long
stout stems characteristic of the Paeony
Flowered type. Whether in the garden
or in bouquets. Rosebud is a lovely addi¬
tion to this large flowered strain of
Asters. Pkt. 15c.

ASTER WILT RESISTANT
GIANT SALMON QUEEN

(Bodger) (Grower’s Description)
Few people realize that there is an
aster of the fascinating shade of
salmon found in Salmon Queen. It is
a clear, pure salmon pink, blending to
a rich gold salmon at the center. The
flowers, large and well formed, are of
the feathery Comet type, on long
stemmed early flowering upright plants.
A lovely aster that should be in every
garden. And remember, it is wilt re¬
sistant. Pkt. 25c.

ASTER GIANT MAMMOTH PAEONY
FLOWERED SILVER ROSE

Delicate lavender pink, full petaled, large, and fully
double, with just a suggestion of silvery white at the
tips, this is an aster which is unique in this class.
Excellent for cut flower use, the plants are fine for
bedding use as well. Pkt. 15c.

NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1935

AND PRECEDING YEARS

GIANT CALIFORNIA SUNSHINE ASTER

The Most Beautiful Aster in the World

Plants of this new race grow three feet high and
bear blossoms on long, stiff stems, admirable for cut¬
ting. The individual blooms are enormous, four to six
inches in diameter.

The color in thees new asters is startlingly beauti¬
ful. A dual tone effect is obtained through the con¬
trasting tints of the disc-like center and the outer or
guard petals. In color they vary in shades of Enchant¬
ress-pink, apple blossom, deep rose, blue, and lavender,
but the disc, sometimes light yellow, sometimes blue,
adds considerably to the colorful effect of the blooms.
In mixture only. Pkt. 20c.

ASTER SUPER GIANT LOS ANGELES

Aster Los Angeles is the first variety of this giant
race, and how beautifully it upholds the romantic
traditions of its namesake, the glamorous city of
sunshine and flowers. The color is a serenely pure
shell pink, in flowers which are full petaled, deep,
and unusually large, yet artistically graceful in the
feathery effect of the interlacing petals. Loosely
arranged in tall pewter vase the long stemmed flowers
lend a feeling of quiet dignity to any decorative
arrangement. In the annual border or cut flower bed
in the garden, they stand majestically above their
fellow asters, and show up to best advantage when
combined with a planting of the Blue Lace Flower,
Didiscus. Pkt. 15c.

ASTER LILLIPUT FLOWERED

Comparing in size with the Lilliput Zinnias, these
baby flowered asters fill a very definite place in the
border or cutflower garden. The flowers are tiny and
buttonlike in form, coming in profuse clusters on
medium length stems, lending themselves very grace¬
fully to flower arrangement or for a colorful border
in the garden. The colors are bright and clear cut,
some varieties having a deeper zone at the center.

Dark Blue. Pkt. 15c. White. Pkt. 15c.

Fiery Scarlet. Pkt. 15c. Finest Mixed. Pkt. 15c.

Rose. Pkt. 15c.

COSMOS KLONDYKE ORANGE FLARE

(Growers' Description)

Now at last we may grow the lovely orange colored
cosmos and be assured of having flowers before frost.
In most parts of the country this brilliant hued flower
is practically unknown because of its late flowering
habit. Realizing its beauty, however, we have bent
our efforts towards producing an early flowering strain
which may be enjoyed by all. We have accomplished
this purpose with Orange Flare, a strain which is in
full bloom less than five months from sowing. The
color is the same vivid orange of the ordinary Klon-
dyke, with attractive light green foliage. Pkt. 25c.

CALENDULA APRICOT QUEEN

Very much in the limelight at the present time, the
valuable qualities of the Calendula are being exploited
both for the market and in private gardens. Various
breaks in color and form of flower have occurred, and
what we here offer is a flat petalled variety of a bright
apricot shade, deepening slightly towards the center.
It is excellent for all the purposes to which a Calen¬
dula can be put. Pkt. 25c.

CALENDULA CHRYSANTHA
OR SUNSHINE

Chrysantha is a new Calendula which is outstand¬
ing among all varieties known up to the present time.
Many improvements have been made on Calendulas,
but no other origination can begin to compare with
this lovely new-comer from far-off Australia. The
large flowers are an exquisite shade of clear buttercup
yellow, with long loosely arranged petals, which
droop to give the rounded appearance found in our
favorite Chrysanthemums. Besides adding a bright
golden splash of color to the garden, Chrysantha is a
fine cutting variety, with long stiff stems, well adapted
to combine with other flowers, such as blue delphin¬
ium, in bowls or vases. Pkt. 15c.

CALENDULA GOLDEN RADIO

The Calendula is becoming one of our most in¬
teresting plant families, with the wide variety of
flower shapes and forms, plant types, and colors
which are being developed each season. One of the
most intriguing of the many forms is the type known
as Radio, first appearing in the orange variety, and!
now Golden Radio has been developed as a companion
form. The color is a bright golden yellow, in the
characteristically quilled petals of the flowei; which
comes true to both type and color. Pkt. 10c.

CALENDULA BODGER’S PASTEL
BEDDING MIXTURE

Designed especially for the home garden, this mix¬
ture contains a balanced combination of the lighter
shades of Calendulas in the dwarfer growing types.
Many new shades of apricot, salmon, cream, and white
are included as well as the better known orange and
lemon shades. There is also a novel assortment of
flower types. Especially adapted for border use, the
stems are long enough to use the flowers for cutting
also. Pkt. 10c.

CLARKIA ELEGANS DOUBL^
ENCHANTRESS (Growers’ Description)

The ever increasing demand for the so-called “old-
fashioned” type of flower has brought the Clarkias into
their own as never before. Within the past four or
five seasons there have evolved an unprecedented
number of new colors in this old favorite. One of the
finest of these varieties is Enchantress, light orange
shading to pink, a delightful color which is sure to
become a great favorite. The flowers are double and
well placed on the long stems. Pkt. 15c.

*DELPHINIUM CLIVEDEN BEAUTY

Cliveden Beauty is the same beautiful light blue as
the Belladonna Delphinium but is a highly improved
strain. The flowers are larger and the plant a more
robust grower, very even in height, making a striking
show in the garden or when used for cutting. Pkt. 15c

ESCHSCHOLTZIA RAMONA (Frilled
California Poppies)

Ramona type California Poppies are beautifully
frilled and fluted, in the russet and pinkish shades, on
neat growing plants which form a compact mass of
flowers. They are very effective when used as a border
or as a ground cover in the rose garden.

NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1935

AND PRECEDING YEARS

DIANTHUS LACINIATUS SPLENDENS

*DIANTHUS LACINIATUS SPLENDENS
(Grower’s Description)

Free flowering and easily grown, the Dianthus fam¬
ily has for years furnished us with some of our most
popular border subjects. One of the most recent addi¬
tions to this family is the sterling novelty Laciniatus
Splendens, a variety which, in our opinion, is the most
striking Dianthus we have ever offered. The flowers
are very large, over two inches across, in a brilliant
shade of crimson, with a largely boldly contrasting
glistening white eye. Pkt. 25c.

GODETIA SYBIL SHERWOOD

(Award of Merit, Royal Horticultural Society 1932)
(Grower’s Description)

We consider this the most beautiful Godetia yet
introduced. The color is a gorgeous shade of bright
pink softened by an undefined edging of white. The
plants are robust, about 20 inches high, strong
stemmed, and so free flowering that the foliage is
almost hidden from view. The flowers are ideal for
cutting, with long stems and exceptional keeping
qualities. We predict a bright future for Sybil Sher¬
wood. Pkt. 15c.

GYPSOPHILA

★Pacifica. 4 ft. This variety is especially hardy as it
withstood the severe frost of winter and extreme heat
and dryness of summer. The seedlings form dense
bushes and attain a height of 4 ft. the second year.
The myriads of tiny pink blossoms appear on the
slender spreading panicles. Flowers later than the
Paniculata. Good for cutting. Pkt. 25c.

HOLLYHOCK

★Double Triumph. Grows 4-5 ft. high and is of
branching habit, all the stems being studded by pret¬
tily waved and fringed flowers which appear in an
entirely new range of colors and combinations of
colors. Pkt. 15c.

Those Marked

HUNNEMANNIA SUN LITE

Sunlite is a double flowered poppy
which is different. Its extra band of
petals is produced on the outside, rather
than the inside of the tulip shaped
flowers, giving the impression of being
open, even after the cuplike blossoms
have closed for the night. The flowers
are a bright canary yellow, and the
foliage of the two-foot bush is a light
gray-green. They like a sunny position
in a well-drained border and flower
freely in late summer. Pkt. 15c.

LARKSPUR GIANT
IMPERIAL BLUE BELL

Blue Bell is a fine medium blue lark¬
spur, deeper than sky blue, yet much
lighter than lilac, a color up to this
time lacking in the giant imperial type.
The type is decidedly upright, with long
basal branched flowering spikes, well
adapted for cutting. Pkt. 15c.

LARKSPUR GIANT
IMPERIAL LOS ANGELES
IMPROVED

This is the same color as that popular
stock flowered variety, Los Angeles, but
in the vastly improved giant imperial
type. It is the best of this type on the
market. For greenhouse use, or where
a tall, compact growing strain is
wanted in the garden, this variety is
preferable. The spikes are long and
without side branches, making it an ex¬
cellent kind for cutting. The color is
a brilliant rose on salmon. Pkt. 15c.

LARKSPUR STOCK FLOWERED
ROSAMOND

Rosamond is a pure rose color, a shade which has
been entirely lacking in larkspurs up to this time.
All other rose varieties have faded badly, but this
ene has that rare quality of holding the pure rose
color until out of flower. It is very uniform in height,
and comes into flower two weeks earlier than other
stock flowered varieties. Pkt. 15c.

LEPTOSYNE— Yellow Daisy

Stillmani. An easily grown, attractive annual, par¬
ticularly valued because it blooms early and con¬
tinuously for many weeks. Beautiful daisy-like flowers
of a pure golden yellow carried on plants growing
20 in. tall. Pkt. 10c.

MARIGOLD, GUINEA GOLD

Unbounded enthusiasm ! These two words express
only conservatively the reaction of gardeners to this
magnificent new Marigold which surpasses anything
ever created in this class. The graceful pyramidal
plants grow 2 to 2^ ft. tall and bear 30 to 40 semi¬
double Carnation-like blooms measuring 2 to 2^4 in.
across. The color of the flowers is the most intense
pure orange-gold imaginable. Blooms continuously
throughout the summer and fall. Splendid for the gar¬
den and for cutting. Pkt. 10c.

MARIGOLD DWARF FRENCH DOUBLE
MONARCH STRAIN

Dwarf French Marigolds are among the finest bor¬
der subjects for home gardens. Monarch strain has
all the qualities which make up the ideal type, dwarf
compact growth, very large, tight double flowers, in
a wide color range which includes combinations of
orange, bronze, yellow and mahogany. Most of the
flowers instead of being a solid self color, have two or
more shades combined in stripes or spotted effects,
which adds to the interest of the variety. Pkt. 10c.

*POPPY NUDICAULE
SANDFORD’S GIANT STRAIN

(Grower’s Description)

Of late years there has been a great
renewal of interest in Iceland Poppies.
Consequently there have been many
new strains developed and put on the
market, and it has become necessary to
choose the best one among all those
offered. We have maintained extensive
trials of all strains during the past two
seasons, and from our findings recom¬
mend Sandford’s Giants as the out¬
standing strain of the present day.
The flowers are huge and well-formed,
in a wide range of colors, borne on long
stiff stems, which are fine for cutting.
Pkt. 15c.

MARIGOLD (Tagetes) SIGNATA
PUMILA (Golden Gem)

This is the border marigold which has been receiving
so much publicity in the garden magazines lately,
and you cannot afford to be without a border of it in
your garden if you would be up on the latest in garden
favorites. Dwarf and compact in habit, the plant is
covered with dozens of small single orange flowers
throughout the summer. For long blooming period
and brilliant coloring, Golden Gem has few equals as
an edging plant. Pkt. 10c.

MARIGOLD (Tagetes Signata Pumila)
LITTLE GIANT (Bodger)

(Grower’s Description)

One of the leading horticulturists of the country is
so fond of Tagetes Signata Pumila, and so disap¬
pointed with the results obtained from any strain
available, that he has given us no peace until we suc¬
ceeded in developing this neat, dwarf, really compact
strain. We are proud to offer Little Giant as the
highest development yet attained of this pretty little
Marigold, with slender fernlike foliage and an abun¬
dance of dainty, single, golden orange flowers on
plants which are only four to six inches high, with
a spread of eight to ten inches. Pkt. 15c.

SCHIZANTHUS SUNSET HYBRIDS
(Bodger) (Grower’s Description)

This carefully bred strain is the result of our years
of endeavor to produce an arrestingly bright strain of
this ever-popular flower. Sunset Hybrids is the ac¬
complishment of this ideal, a well balanced blend
consisting of bright red and carmine shades, each
butterfly-like flower delicately marked with gold or
white. The two-foot plants are covered with a mass
of flowers, which are excellent for cutting. One of the
most easily grown garden annuals, it is also fine for
pot plant use. Pkt. 15c.

* STATICE DICKSONII (Grower’s
Description)

Dicksonii is undoubtedly the outstanding Statice in¬
troduction of recent years. It is quite unlike any other
variety in commerce, and as far as we can discover,
unknown to the trade of this country and Europe.
The flowers are very large and open, borne in quan¬
tities on long-stemmed large sprays which have a
delightfully lacy open effect. The plants are fully
hardy, rather slow growing, with tough dark green,
long narrow leaves making a neat clump from which
rise the sprays of deep rose flowers. Plants will not
flower the first year from seed, but they are well
worth waiting for an extra season. Pkt. 25c.

MARIGOLD ROYAL SCOT

(Grower’s Description)

Modern as the crack Scottish Railway train The
Royal Scot from which it borrowed its name, this
marigold is the most striking yet introduced. The
large well-formed double flowers are produced in
abundance on plants from 24 to 30 inches in height.
The color is a charming combination of mahogany
and gold in symmetrical stripes which radiate from
the center of the flowers. We feel confident that
Royal Scot will be welcomed by florists and home
gardeners alike. Pkt. 15c.

SALPIGLOSSIS PURPLE

SELF (Bodger)

(Grower’s Description)

This is undoubtedly the richest dark
variety in the Salpiglossis group, a dis¬
tinct new shade. The color is a rich
deep velvety purple, free from all
markings, holding well until out of
bloom. The flowers are large and of
good substance, a striking subject for
combination with other flowers, par¬
ticularly red or gold shades. Pkt. X5c.

*SCABIOSA CAUCASICA ISAAC HOUSE
STRAIN— (Blue Bonnets)

This is a very greatly improved strain over the
ordinary scabiosa caucasica. The flowers are surpris¬
ingly large, gracefully fringed and ruffled, in shades
of blue ranging from very dark shades through the
midblues to lavender. During the hot months of June
and July, when most flowers look rather wilted from
the heat, these hybrids are unaffected by the tem¬
perature and make a fine showing in the garden, or
for cut flower use. Pkt. 25c.

NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1935

AND PRECEDING YEARS

URSINIA (Jewel of the Veldt)

Anethoides. An attractive annual, native of South
Africa. It is easily grown from seed sown outdoors
during the spring. The lovely, daisy-like flowers are
borne on long wiry stems. They have rich orange-
yellow ray-petals with a crown of deep purple spotted
with jet-black. The plants bloom continuously from
early summer until frost. Has graceful, lace-like, light
green foliage; 10 in. Pkt. 15c.

VENIDIUM (Monarch of the Veldt)

Fastuosum. Large, brilliant orange flowers, 3 in.
across, with a black-purple zone at the base of the
ray-petals and a dark center with a gray-green, wool¬
like tuft. The plants grow 2 to 3 ft. tall and bloom
from midsummer until frost. The foliage is a soft
gray and forms a splendid background. Fine for gar¬
den display and for growing under glass. It is one
of the most outstanding new flowers of recent intro¬
duction. Pkt. 15c.

VERBENA

Beauty of Oxford Hybrids. Many shades ranging
from rose-pink to rose-red. Large blooms in elegant
round trusses. Exceedingly showy. Pkt. 15c.

VERBENA HYBRIDA COMPACTA TYPE
(Edging Verbenas)

These are distinct from all other types of Verbena,
very compact, dwarf, and free flowering. The color
range is very wide, in bright shades. They are excel¬
lent for the annual rock garden in a sunny position,
for borders or edgings, or for window boxes or pots.

Mixed, pkt. 10c

VERBENA ROYAL BOUQUET MIXED

As the name suggests, this type is excellent for
cutting. The plants are definitely upright in habit,
several 10 to 12-inch stalks to a plant, each bearing
full clusters of the large starry eyed flowers at the
tip. They are fine for pot culture, as well as cutting.
The colors comprise a • full range of the brighter
shades. Pkt. 10c.

ZINNIA FANTASY MIXED (Bodger)

(Growers’ Description)

New zinnias are always welcomed by home growers
and florists alike. While the giant flowered varieties
are still popular, the trend of late years has been
toward the smaller flowered, more graceful strains.
This new Fantasy Mixture meets this demand in all
details : the rounded flowers are composed of a mass
of shaggy ray-like petals which give a delicate and
refined appearance to the medium sized double flowers,
large enough to satisfy the desire for mass of color,
yet small enough to lend themselves gracefully to
flower arrangement. The color range includes the
brightest shades of reds and orange, as well as the
popular pastel pinks and cream. Pkt. 25c.

ZINNIA DESERT GOLD (Bodger)

(Growers’ Description)

Several years ago we introduced the fascinating
new zinnia. Crown O’ Gold, in mixture. The yellow
and gold shades in this mixture were immediately
proclaimed the most attractive and sought after as
separate colors. We are very happy now to offer these
shades as Desert Gold, a variety containing the light
and deep hues of gold, each petal overlaid at the base
with a deeper golden yellow, giving a charming
bicolor combination. Those who appreciate the finest

ZINNIA LILLIPUT TOM THUMB
MIXTURE

Tom Thumb is without exception the very dwarfest
zinnia known. The plants are rounded and compact,
4 to 6 inches high, literally covered wtih well formed
flowers of the lilliput type. The color mixture includes
red, orange, yellow, pink, rose and other pastel shades.
It is a fine border plant, especially for the hot dry
sections of the country, and is the best zinnia to use
in pots or window boxes. Pkt. 10c.

VEGETABLE SPECIALTIES
CARROTS

Tendersweet. The newest and best, sweet, tender
and brittle. Rich orange-red color. In this new
carrot, which is also known as Imperator, we have
one of the finest varieties ever grown. An exception¬
ally heavy yielder, which is always sweet, tender, and
brittle. The roots are 8 to 10 inches long, tapering
from the shoulder to the rather blunt end. Color is
rich orange-red. The roots are always uniform in
shape and size, and the plants themselves are notice¬
able on account of the dark purplish green leaves.
While a new variety, it is already in demand by
market gardeners, as it has the shape, size and color
to show to advantage, and the sweet and tender quality
to further recommend it. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; 4 ozs. 50c.

Morse’s Bunching. This variety has a rich red even
color throughout, small red core, roots almost cylin¬
drical, 8 inches long, smooth, and tops short and
strong. It matures in 80 days and is sweet and ten¬
der. It excels for a fall and winter harvest. Pkt. 5c;
oz. 25c; % lb. 75c; lb. §2.50.

PEAS

Laxton’s Progress. 62 days. The earliest and by
far the best of the large podded, large-fruited wrinkled
peas. Of all the varieties producing peas of equal
quality, this is the heaviest yielding. It bears long
pods, averaging one more pea to the pod than Lax-
tonian. It is an improvement upon Laxtonian, which
has hitherto been the finest of the dwarfs for table
quality. Pkt. 10c; y^-lb. 15c; lb., 30c.

SWISS CHARD

Fordhook Giant. A very outstanding Swiss Chard
growing to enormous size. The rich blue-green leaves
are much crinkled or savoyed. When fully developed-,
the leaves measure 10 inches in width and 2% feet in
length. The texture of the leaves is thick and fleshy
and their quality is highly appreciated cooked in the
same way as spinach. The pearly white stems or
stalks measure 2% inches in width and give an ex¬
cellent dish prepared like asparagus. Pkt. 10c; oz. I5c;
4 ozs. 40c.

Notice in Reference
to Varieties

Modern varieties of
vegetables are in a great
many cases selections and
highly improved strains of
older and inferior types.
These improved strains
are stable to a certain de¬
gree only, and consider¬
able care is entailed, in the
growing of high-grade
seeds, to keep these types
up to present standard
and to improve on them.
We would point out,
therefore, that under conditions
of soil and season not altogether
favorable, varieties may vary
from the descriptions in these
pages, especially as regards ear¬
liness or lateness of season, type and keeping quality.

The descriptions are intended to serve as a guide only,
in the selection of sorts likely to prove most suitable for
purposes required.

ASPARAGUS

No vegetable is more healthful or mor^ palatable than the tender asparagus that appears on the table very
early in the spring.

Every home garden should have a bed about ten by twenty feet, planting about one hundred roots. This
would furnish enough tips from day to day to supply the family table.

Set the rows two feet apart instead of four as for field culture, and one foot apart in the row.

Drill the seed thinly in rows fifteen inches apart during March or April. Thin out to two inches apart in
order to have strong plants.

Exercise great care in preparing a field because it will last many years.

Transplant during February, setting the roots two feet apart, in furrows six feet apart. Carefully spread
out to avoid matting. The furrows should be ten or twelve inches deep and run North and South in order to get
the sun on both sides of the rows. Cover the roots about three inches and as the plant grows throw the soil
toward the plant. Each year when the berries are red, cut the plants close to the ground and burn, then spray
the entire field with sulphur, in order to destroy any germs of mildew, red spider or rust that may be there.
Keep a mulch over the row with a harrow, but cultivate more deeply between the rows. Use stable manure
liberally and hill up a little higher each year. Irrigate freely during the growing period. Three pounds of seed
is sufficient to plant an acre.

A year may be saved by buying the plants (one-year-old are greatly to be preferred) and setting them at
least two feet apart in the row, and the rows not closer than four feet ; see that the roots are well and evenly
spread out in planting and that they are not exposed to the air longer than is absolutely necessary, as they
deteriorate rapidly.

-DiLrYlM >3 GREEN PODDED

Culture — No crop responds more readily to good soil and cultivation than beans. A light, rich, well-drained
loam which was manured for the previous crop is desirable. If too rank manure is used it is apt to make the
plant run too much to vine. Beans are extremely sensitive to both cold and wet, and it is useless to plant them
before the ground has become dry and warm. The largest returns will result from planting in drills from two
to three feet apart and leaving the plants two to six inches apart in the row. Up to the time of blossoming they
should have frequent shallow cultivation, but any mutilation of the roots by cultivation after the plants come
into bloom is likely to cause the blossoms to blast and so cut off the crop. The cultivation of beans should always
be very shallow and it is useless to expect a crop from a field so poorly prepared.

Varieties should be selected so as to give a succession both of string and green shelled beans. The wax
podded varieties will degenerate into a mixture of green wax podded plants unless there is constant attention
given to the removing of any green podded plants which may appear in the seed crop, and the constant selec¬
tion of plants of the highest type for stock seed. Hence it is especially important to use seed from reliable
sources only.

BURPEE’S STRINGLESS GREEN POD

The Best Green Podded Bush Bean for the
Northwest, should be in every garden

This famous bean is absolutely unequaled ! It combines unusual hardiness,
extreme earliness, and wonderful productiveness with pods of handsome appear¬
ance and finest quality. Extra early plantings may be made to produce the
earliest crop, and even with later plantings Burpee’s “Stringless” is always
the quickest to produce pods. By repeated plantings pods may be had in constant
succession from Spring until cut off by heavy frosts in the Fall. Combined
with the extra hardiness and early maturity, the pods are the finest in quality,
of a rich green, very round and straight, five inches long, solidly meaty and
broad — deeply saddle-backed, caused by the rounded swell of the fleshy sides.
The pods are tender, brittle, and of finest flavor, always entirely stringless, even
when fully matured. In a word, all planters now agree that Burpee’s Stringless
is absolutely unequaled! Per pkt. 10c; Vz lb. 15c; lb. 30c; 5 lbs. $1.25, postpaid

EXTRA EARLY RED VALENTINE

Next to Burpee’s Stringless, this is the most popular of all green-podded
bush beans. In this improved strain the pods are very fleshy, round and saddle-
backed, with only slight strings. Bushes grow uniformly about fifteen inches in
height. Per pkt. 10c; % lb. 15c; lb. 30c, postpaid

EARLY STRINGLESS REFUGEE

An improved stringless strain. Very hardy and extremely productive. Pods
round and straight, tender, brittle, absolutely stringless and of finest quality ;
medium early. Great improvement over Refugee or 1,000 to 1. Excellent home
or market variety as a "snap.” Unsurpassed for picking or canning. Second
early. Per pkt. 10c; VSs lb. 15c; lb. 30c, postpaid

DWARF HORTICULTURAL

One of the best dwarf sorts for green shell beans for the home garden and
market and can be used early as a green podded snap bean. The plants are very
productive, compact and upright, with large leaves. The mature pods are about
five to five and one-half inches in length, broad and thick curved, with splashes
of bright red on yellowish ground. They become fit for use as green shelled
beans early and in this condition the beans are very large, easily shelled and are
about equal to the Lima in quality. Seed large, oval, plump, pale buff,
splashed with deep red. Large pkt. 10c; Vi lb. 15c; lb. 30c, postpaid

BROAD OR FAVA BEANS

ENGLISH or BROAD WINDSOR, or FAVA BEANS — These beans are also
known on the Pacific Coast as “Horse Beans.” In Europe they are cultivated
extensively for eating purposes. If shelled when young and cooked for about
twenty-five minutes in boiling water with a pinch of baking soda added, they
make a most delicious vegetable.

In the Willamette Valley these should be planted in the fall, November and
December preferably, although they can also be planted in the early spring
with good success, when the season is favorable. Seed can be planted in hills or
in drills. When sown in drills, plant so that seeds are six to nine inches apart,
covering three or four inches deep, and in rows thirty to thirty-six inches
apart. If the tips of the plants of the Fava are cut off after the plant has
flowered, the crop will set better, the pods will be larger and develop earlier,
and also the attack of Aphis will be checked.

O OR WAX PODDED

BUTTER BEANS

In the northern latitudes the term “butter beans” if often applied to beans producing wax pods, while in
the south the term is usually applied to Limas.

BRITTLE WAX

Brittle Wax is most attractive, of superb quality, and conceded the “Best of All.” The bushes are remarkably
hardy and very prolific. The pods are handsome, round, extremely fleshy, and always stringless and tender. They
measure about 7 inches in length and are slightly curved. Burpee’s Brittle Wax has made a record everywhere
with its superb quality, extreme earliness, and great productiveness.

Pkt. 10c; Yz lb. 20c; lb. 35c, postpaid

PENCIL POD BLACK WAX

One of the best round pod wax beans, both for home use and market. Bushy growth, about fifteen inches
high, heavy foliage. Pods 6 to 7 inches long, round as a pencil, clear yellow, very brittle and stringless, rich
mild flavor. An early sure cropper of the finest quality. Pkt. 10c Yz lb. 15c; lb. 35c, postpaid

PROLIFIC BLACK WAX

The earliest wax variety. Pods clear, light yellow, round fleshy tender, stringless and remain in fit condition
for some time. A heavy yielder that we can recommend.

Large pkt. 10c; Yz lb. 20c; lb. 35c, postpaid

REFUGEE WAX

This is a favorite because of its hardy growth and enormous yield of tender, round stringless pods of excel¬
lent flavor. Plant from April until September. Per pkt. 10c; % lb. 20c; lb. 35c, postpaid

IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX

Pods rather flat, but of good quality ; four inches in length, half an
inch broad, of light golden yellow ; quite brittle, with only slight strings
when young. Plants stiffly erect, bearing a large crop of fine pods held well
above the soil. Per pkt. 10c; Vi lb. 20c; lb. 25c; 5 lbs. $1.00, postpaid

Bush Lima Beans

Culture — Select land that is especially warm, rich and well
supplied with vegetable fibre or humus. Plant as soon as the
soil has become warm in the spring. Make the rows 2 feet
apart and give to each plant 6 inches space in the row. A
top-dressing of poultry manure, ashes, or some good fertilizer
or compost around the plants will be of much benefit in
hastening maturity and increasing the yield.

Burpee’s Bush Lima — Comes absolutely true from seed. The bushes
grow eighteen to twenty inches high, stout growth and always erect, yet
branching so vigorously that each plant develops into a magnificent circular
bush from two to three feet in diameter. It is an immense yielder, the
handsome large pods being well filled with very large beans, identical in
size and luscious flavor with the well-known large Pole Beans.

Per pkt. 10c; Yz lb. 15c; lb. 30c, postpaid
Burpee-Improved Bush Lima — This is the finest Bush Lima that has
ever been introduced. The bush is sturdy in habit and twenty to twenty-four
inches high, with large leaves. It bears its beans on long spikes in very
prolific clusters well out from the plant. There are from four to seven
pods in each cluster and often as many as eleven. Each pod contains three,
four or five beans and there are more pods containing five than there are
containing three beans, so that there is an improvment of from one to two
beans in each pod, and this, taken with the great number of pods borne,
makes the yield enormous. In quality this bean ranks with the very best
and the beans are of large size. In earliness it comes between Henderson’s
and Burpee’s Bush, and is about a week earlier than the latter variety.
This bean is bound to be the greatest, most popular Bush Lima — a con¬
tinuous bearer. Per pkt. 10c; Yz lb. 15c; lb. 30c, postpaid

Fordhook Bush Lima Bean — The only stiffly erect bush form of the pop¬
ular “Potato” Lima ! Both pods and beans are twice the size of Dreer's Bush
Lima and more than half again as large as the Challenger Pole Lima.
Is fully a third heavier cropper and therefore is bound to entirely displace
the Kumerle (Dreer’s or Thornburn’s) Bush Limas. In season it is from
four to six days earlier. Per pkt. 10c; Yz lb. 15c; lb. 30c, postpaid

Pole Lima Beans

Oregon Pole Lima — Grows to an average of about five feet, is a strong,
thrifty vine and very prolific, bearing continuously until frost, the blossoms
bursting from the top shoots in long panicles, while the pods can be seen
in every stage of development, to the matured beans at the bottom of the
vine. Pods are well filled, having three to five large beans of the finest
quality. Gather any time after full maturity.

Oregon Pole Lima can be planted in any garden soil as early as April or
late as July. Give the same care and culture as other Beans, and are ready
to use when the pods are filled and first begin to ripen. It is not necessary
that they should dry on the vines, except for seed. They are at their best
when the full green pods begin to turn yellow.

BEANS— Pole or Running

Culture — Pole Beans are even more sensitive to cold and wet as well as to
droughts and hot winds than the dwarf varieties, but are of superior quality
and productiveness. After settled warm weather set poles four to eight feet
long and slanting slightly toward the north, in rows four feet apart and extend¬
ing north and south, the poles being three feet apart in the row. Set in this
way, the vines climb better and the pods are straighter and more easily seen.
Around each stake plant five to eight beans two inches deep, and when well
started thin to four plants. It is a natural habit of all vines to climb around a
pole always in one direction, and they will not do well if an attempt is made to
train them to run in the opposite direction. Another plan is to plant in rows
thickly enough so that there will be one plant to eight or ten inches. Set posts
five feet high firmly at each end of the rows and drive stakes made of 2x2 lumber
at intervals of about sixteen feet along the rows. Stretch a wire, size No. 10
or 12, between the posts along each row, and fasten it to the tops of the stakes
with wire staples ; run a light wire or twine along the bottom about six inches
from the ground, fastening likewise to the posts and stakes. Between these two
horizontal wires stretch a wire or twine perpendicularly wherever there is a
plant ; the vines will run up these until they reach the top wire, when they will
care for themselves. Another way is to omit the bottom wire and stick small
stake two to Bix inches in the soil and fasten to top wire.

GREEN PODDED VARIETIES
Kentucky Wonder is the best Pole Bean for the West

Often sold as Asparagus Beans

Old Homestead, or “Kentucky Wonder” — See natural size of pod, engraved
from a photograph. The pods seven to nine inches long, are so fleshy that they
are greater in width than in breadth, being deeply creased or “saddle-backed".
They are solidly meaty, stringless when young, and of finest quality. If pods are
gathered as they mature, the vines will continue to bear to the end of the
season. Per pkt. 10c; Yt lb. 15c; lb. 30c, postpaid

Burger’s Green-Pod Stringless — This is earlier than Old Homestead and
covers a longer season of productiveness. The pods, borne in clusters, average
six to eight inches in length, are uniformly straight, of a rich dark green, and
so meaty as to be really “saddle-backed." The pods are as entirely stringless as
the popular Burpee’s Stringless Green-Pod Bush Bean ; they are equally tender
and of similar sweet, mild flavor. The dry beans are of a pearly whiteness.

Per pkt. 10c; Yz lb. 15c; lb. 30c; 5 lbs. $1.25, postpaid

Chinese Yard-Long (Pole Beans) — Brown seed, an

GARDEN BEETS

Culture — The best results are obtained on
a deep rich sandy loam. If wanted very
early, sow such sorts as Crosby’s Egyptian
or Detroit Dark Red in hotbeds and trans¬
plant, cutting off the outer leaves. For gen¬
eral crop, sow in freshly prepared soil as
soon as the ground will permit, in rows
eighteen inches apart covering about an
inch deep and pressing the soil firmly over
the seed. When the plants are well estab¬
lished thin out to four inches apart in the
row. For winter use the turnip varieties
may be sown in June, so as mature late
in the season ; the roots are stored in a
cellar and covered with sand or sandy soil
to prevent wilting ; or they may be kept
outdoors in pits such as are used for apples
and potatoes. One or two ounces, or single
packets of two or three sorts will give a
good supply for a large family.

Detroit Dark Red — Receives nothing but
praise everywhere — It is rather astounding
how, despite the many new beets introduced
from time to time, that the old Reliable
Detroit gains in favor instead of waning.

The Detroit is one of the best of the dark
red turnip beets for main crop. See illus¬
tration. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; *4 lb. 25c; lb. 75c,

dark red flesh which retains its tenderness
until late in the season.

averaging two inches in diameter. Per pkt.

Early Wonder — This variety is a selection of Crosby Egyptian. Wo
believe it to be one of the earliest and best turnip shaped beets
grown. It is a little earlier than Crosby Egyptian and is so uniform
in growth that the crop can be harvested practically at one time,
yielding the land early and quickly for a second crop. This variety is
ready for bunching 73 days after planting the seed.

Mangel Wurzels or Stock Beets

Danish Sludstrup— The Danish Government encourages the growing
of root crops by offering certificates of merit to growers who select
and produce sorts which are of distinctive value. Sludstrup is con¬
sidered the best of all Mangels, having been awarded first-class cer¬
tificate. In color it is reddish yellow and of a distinct type. It contains
the largest per cent of nutriment found in any sort. It is very hardy,
grows well above ground and is easily pulled.

Per pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; *4 lb. 25c; lb. 50c
Giant Half-Sugar — This magnificent Sugar Beet, while giving
nearly as large a yield of easily grown and harvested roots as a crop
of Mangels, supplies a food of very much higher nutritive value, the
roots for feeding purposes being really more valuable, pound for
pound, than those of the very best strains of Sugar Beet, and the
yield under equally favorable conditions is more than double. The
roots grow partly out of the ground and because of this and their
shape the crop can be harvested and stored at less expense than any
other root crop. We are certain that every one who plants this
variety and grows it with care will be much pleased. Every farmer
should try it. Per pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; *4 lb. 25c; lb. 50c, postpaid

Golden Tankard — A smooth yellow-fleshed mangel, the roots are of

Broccoli

Should be treated the same as cauliflower, which it
resembles. In fact, it is practically a cauliflower, but
grows larger and taller and is hardier and easier to
grow. It requires two months more time to mature,
which it does best in cool weather. Plant and cultivate
the same as cabbage or kale and give plenty of water.

St. Valentine — The finest of all Broccoli. Is a sure
header of immense size and finest quality, and is ready
for market in February. The large, solid, handsome
white heads remain in good condition longer than other
varieties. Per pkt. 10c; oz. 80c

Large White French — A valuable variety with large,
white heads, firm and of good flavor. Pkt. 5c; oz. 50c

BROCCOLI

Sprouting (True Calabrese) — This is distinctly dif¬
ferent from the type of Broccoli which forms large
white heads like Cauliflower. This type, long a favor¬
ite in Europe, has recently been introduced into this
country from Italy. The plants are hardy and rapid
growing, and produce a large central or main head in
the center of the plant in about ninety to one hundred
and twenty days. When this head is removed the plant
sends out lateral shoots or "sprouts” on stems four
to six inches long, much smaller in size than the mam
or central head. When this second crop is harvested
the plant again sends out another crop of these min¬
iature heads. Frequently as many as five or six cut¬
tings can be obtained from one plant. The smaller
heads produced by the plant after the main nead is
removed are fully as desirable as the main head. They
are very tender and the stems (which are as tender as
the heads) when served in the same way as Asparagus
form a very tasty and nourishing dish.

oz. 75c; Vi lb. $2.00.

Brussels Sprouts

The plants are very hardy and grow from 2 to 3 feet
high, bearing a large mass of leaves at the top. The
sides of the main stem are covered with three or four
dozen small cabbage heads, which are broken off and
cooked the same as cabbage. The sprouts mature in
succession. Sow early so as to have well-grown plants
by fall. Cultivate the same as for cabbage.

Burpee’s Danish-Prize — A very fine strain. The
plants are of strong robust growth. The stalks are
large, thick and close-joined, so that the sprouts set
thickly on the stalk. The sprouts develop for nearly
the entire height of the stalk about the same time —
consequently a very large crop can be gathered. Even
the sprouts formed at the base of the stalk are tightly
folded ; they are quite as fine and solid as those higher
up. Per pkt. 10c; Yz oz. 20c

Swiss Chard or “Spinach Beets”

Lucullus — The plants grow to a height of two to two
and one-half feet. The stalks are as thick and broad as
those of rhubarb, being one and one-half inches broad,
heavily ribbed and from ten to twelve inches long
below the leaf. These stalks are delicious when cooked
and served in the same manner as asparagus.

In the old type of Swiss Chard the leaf portion is
smooth, broad and rounded at the upper end ; in the
new Lucullus the leaves are larger and sharply
pointed at the top, while the texture is heavily crumped
or “savoyed”, more crisply tender and of finer flavor.
The leafy portion of the foliage is cooked and served
in the same manner as spinach. The leaves and stalks
served as separate vegetables afford two distinct dishes
from the same plant at one time.

Large-Ribbed White — This variety does not make
edible roots like the regular garden beets, but is grown

a delicious summer vegetable. The young leaves may
be gathered also and cooked like spinach.

CABBAGE

Culture — The requisites for complete success are:
First, good seed ; in this crop the quality of the seed
used is of the greatest importance ; no satisfactory
results can possibly be obtained when poor seed is
planted. Second, rich, well prepared ground. A heavy,
moist and rich loam is most suitable. Third, frequent
and thorough cultivation. The ground should be highly
manured and worked deep. Cabbage is grown all over
the country and specific directions regarding the time
and methods of planting applicable to all localities
cannot be given. In general, north of the 40th parallel
the early sorts should be sown very early in hotbeds,
hardened off by gradually exposing them to the night
air and transplanted as early as the ground is in good
condition, setting eighteen to thirty-six inches apart,
according to size and variety. South of the 40th paral¬
lel, sow about the middle of September, or later,
according to latitude, transplanting into cold frames
if necessary to keep through winter and setting in
open ground as early as possible in the spring.

The late autumn and winter varieties may be sown
from the middle to the last of spring and transplanted
when four to six inches high. If the weather and soil
is dry, the late sowing should be shaded and watered
in order to hasten germination, but it is important
that the plants should not be shaded or crowded in
the seed bed, or they will run up weak and slender
and will not endure transplanting well.

All Seasons — Heads large, round and very deep :
can be planted for early or late crop ; a splendid

DANISH STONEHEAD OR ROUND RED

Danish Stonehead or Round Red — This splendid
novelty is a recent introduction. It produces round or
ball shaped heads df great solidity and unusually dark
purplish color, and this rich coloring extends to the center
of the head, showing only a small portion of white when
cutting across the veins and tissue. The plants are of
strong, compact growth, producing heads uniform in size
and shape, from 6 to 8 inches in diameter. It is the best
keeper of any of the Red Cabbages. Most desirable for
the housewife in slicing for slaws, salads, etc.

compact. The interior blanches creamy-white, crisp
and delicious, and of that desirable rich celery flavor.
It produces successfully throughout the year and is
considered one of the best late fall and winter Pe-Tsai.
It is a good keeper and shipper and its attractive
appearance and fine quality make it one of the best
sellers. We can say without exaggeration that this is
the finest Pe-Tsai in existence today. Whether for

CUTWORMS

Cutworm injury almost invariably occurs in the
spring, plants usually being cut off at the surface or
a little below the surface of the ground. This injury
begins as soon as the first plants sprout and continues
until late in June or early July when the worms have
become full grown. Feeding takes place at night, the
worms resting during the day beneath debris or in the
soil. For best results in controlling this pest distrib¬
ute Snaroi over infested areas, taking care to sprinkle
it around each hill.

CARROTS

Culture — While sandy loam made rich by manuring
the previous year is the best soil for the carrot, any
good land if thoroughly and deeply worked will pro¬
duce satisfactory crops. When possible to do so, it is
advisable to sow as early in the spring as the ground is
fit to work, though good crops may, in this latitude, be
grown from sowings as late as June IB, but success
from such late planting is uncertain. For table use
sow the smaller kinds as early as practicable in rows
16 to 18 inches apart. For field culture, prepare the
ground thoroughly and sow in drills 18 to 24 inches
apart, using from one and one-half to three pounds of
seed to the acre. Cover one-half to one inch deep and
see to it that the soil is pressed firmly above the seed.
As soon as the plants appear use the cultivator or
wheel hoe. Do not let the weeds get a start. Thin the
smaller table sorts from six to eight to the foot, and
the field varieties from four to six inches apart in the
row. For winter use, gather and store like beets or
turnips.

TRY THIS

Plant the little round radishes in the same row
at the same time with beets or carrots. The radishes
will break the way for the beets and carrots and
will be ready for pulling by the time they need the
room.

CORELESS CHANTENAY

THE SWEETEST CARROT KNOWN

A gardener once said, “Give me a coreless Carrot and
I will show you one of the sweetest, most delicious vege¬
tables on earth." He was right. A Carrot without a core
is a rare treat and nothing is more delicious. This variety
is free of the stringy, coarse heart or core that is found in
other Carrots. Owing to the fine texture of the red flesh,
and its tender, delicate flavor it is called the Sweetest of
All Carrots. It prows from six to seven inches in length
and is of a beautiful orange red.

Chantenay — This splendid Carrot belongs to the half-
long “stump" or blunt-rooted type, but differs from all
others of this class by its greater girth, bulk and con¬
sequent yield. It averages 6 to 7 inches in length, is
broad at the neck, narrowing gradually to the round,
blunt base, therefore is easily harvested. The flesh, en¬
tirely free from core, is of rich orange-red and of the
finest table quality, fine-grained, tender, juicy and
delicately flavored.

Guerande, or Ox Heart — Tops small for the size of
the roots which are comparatively short but often
reach a diameter of five inches, terminating abruptly
in a small tap root. Flesh bright orange, fine grained
and sweet. This variety is especially desirable for soil
so hard and stiff that longer rooted sorts would not
thrive in it. When young the roots are excellent for
table use and when mature are equally good for stock.

Carrots for Stock Feeding

Carrots for Stock Feeding — These can be grown easily
in good, loose soil; keep well when stored for Winter use
ana form an extremely wholesome addition to the Winter
rations of stock when fed in conjunction with corn and dry
fodder. The rich coloring of the deep orange-colored sorts
is esteemed also as imparting a richer coloring to milk and
butter during Winter months.

They are grown most easily in laud which has been
under cultivation the preceding season, and which has
been manured heavily and plowed during the previous
Fall, though short, well-rotted manure will give excellent
results, turned under in the Spring if the surface is finely
prepared before sowing the seed. Seed should be sown
early, thinly in drills three feet apart using four pounds of
seed to the acre. Give thorough cultivation throughout
the season, working more deeply as growth advances.

Improved Short White Mastodon — The most pro¬
ductive and most easily harvested for stock feeding.
The roots grow about eight inches in length, measuring
three inches at shoulder and gradually tapering
throughout their length. Smooth, white skin, free
from small rootlets. Flesh solid, white, crisp, rich
and nutritious. We have reports of this variety
yielding 20 tons per acre.

throughout the entire length, the roots tapering grad¬
ually at the base. They are easily pulled in harvest¬
ing, and do not have to be dug out, like most long-
rooted sorts. Flesh and skin pure white, though the
latter is occasionally tinged with green in upper
portion growing above the soil.

coloring. These two varieties have probably been
grown more extensively than any others for stock
feeding in the past, but are destined to be superseded
to a great extent by the large, thick roots of the
improved white variety offered above, and the thick,
stump-rooted table sorts.

CAULIFLOWER

Cultivation — The main thing in growing good Cauli¬
flowers is to rush them on quickly, and never allow
them to be checked in their growth ; in dry weather
they should be copiously watered, especially if just
planted out. The soil should be deeply trenched and
well-dressed with sfkble manure, and occasional dres¬

sings of liquid manure during the growing season will materially
increase the crop. Sow in seed beds, and, when large enough, trans¬
plant in rows two feet apart and eighteen inches between the plants.
Hill up between the rows, and keep the ground well cultivated.
Summer and autumn are the best seasons to sow. The later varieties
are very much the hardiest, and will often make good heads under
circumstances which would cause the early varieties to “button.”
The early sorts mature in three to four months, the later ones five to
eight months.

KING WHITE

King White — A remarkably sure heading early Cauliflower. It is of dwarf
habit with short outside leaves and is similar in most respects to Early
Snowball, and nearly as early. The heads when ready for market
are of medium to large size. The curd is white, exceptionally deep
and of finest quality. It will give excellent results either in the
home garden or for market use and is superior to most seed sold
at higher prices. Where extreme earliness is not the greatest con¬

idapted for growing in dry locations where other
arieties fail ; make the soil quite rich and give thor-
.ugh cultivation. It is superior to any other excepting

CELERY

Culture- — Sow the seed (which is slow to germinate) in shallow boxes indoors or in a finely
prepared seed bed out of doors in straight rows, so that the small plants may be kept free
from weeds. See to it that the seed is not covered too deep and that the bed is kept moist,
almost wet, until the seed germinates, as plenty of moisture is essential to get a satisfactory
growth. The seed will not germinate well if planted in a hot-bed or where subjected to a tem¬
perature above 60 Deg. Fr. When the plants are one or two inches high, thin out and trans¬
plant so that they may stand three inches apart each way. When they are four inches high,
cut off the tops, which will cause the plants to grow stocky.

CELERY

GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING

The best of all early “self-blanching" varieties. First
introduced in America in 1884, this is decidedly better in
quality than the White Plume. It is ready for use nearly
as early, blanches as easily, and is larger in size. It is of
dwarf compact habit, with thick, solid, heavily ribbed
stalks, which blanch easily to a clear waxen yellow. When
grown in rich moist soil, the stalks are numerous, each

fjlant being fully as thick through as the largest of the tall
ate sorts, and with a large solid heart of beautiful golden-
yellow stalks and leaves. Per pkt. 5c; oz. 50c, postpaid

CELERIAC or TURNIP-
ROOTED CELERY

Culture — Sow the seed at the same season and give
the same treatment as common celery. Transplant the
young plants to moist rich soil, in rows two feet apart
and six inches apart in the row. Give thorough cul¬
ture. As the roots are the edible portion of this vege¬
table, it is not necessary to earth up or “handle” it.
After the roots have attained a diameter of two inches
or over, they are fit for use. To keep through winter
pack in damp earth or sand and put in the cellar or
leave out of doors, covering with earth and straw like
beets or carrots.

GIANT PASCAL

Preferred by many on account of its fine quality
when properly blanched. Stalks short, broad, very
thick, crisp and tender, blanching to a yellowish-white
color. Pkt. 5c; oz. 35c; lb. $1.00.

WHITE PLUME

This is the earliest and most easily blanched, but does
not keep well taken from the trenches. The plants grow
rapidly and blanch easily during the summer months.
Later in the Fall the central stalks and leaves are of pure
snowy whiteness, even without earthing up, but stalks
should be gathered together and earthed up as in other
varieties, so as to produce close attractive bunches.

CHIVES— Schnittlauch

Chives are perfectly hardy perennial plants of the
onion type, and are grown exclusively for their small
leaves, which are produced freely very early in the
Spring, for giving a mild onion flavor to various
dishes. They are used especially in flavoring the small
German sausages. When planted in small clumps in
any common garden soil, they will grow rapidly and
in time increase so as to render division necessary.
The tops appear early in the Spring, and can be shorn
off close to the ground as needed. If not allowed to
flower, they will produce much longer.

CORN --Sweet or Table Varieties

“GOLDEN BANTAM”

Earliest and Best of All Extreme-Earlies — Most Surpassingly Delicious in Flavor — Most Famous Corn Grown
Golden Bantam — Is becoming each year more firmly fixed in popular favor, because of its extremely early
character, vigorous growth and surpassing delicious flavor.

Although the dry grain is entirely free from any flinty glaze, it is exceptionally hard and firm, hence can be
planted earlier than any other true sweet corn. The stalks are dwarf and sturdy in habit, growing to a height
of four feet ; they bear two and three good ears, which are set well above the ground. The ears, five to seven
inches in length, have eight rows of broad yellow grains, extending to the extreme rounded tip.

Pkt. 10c; lb. 30c; 5 lbs. §1.25, postpaid

GOLDEN CREAM

This sweet corn is of California origin and the re¬
sult of crossing the Golden Bantam on the Country
Gentleman. The Golden Cream resembles the Country
Gentleman in appearance, having the same irregular
rows and has also the deep-pointed kernel and the
slender cob of that variety, otherwise it is entirely dis¬
tinct, being of dwarf habit in growth, having an ear
about the length of the Golden Bantam, and differs
from the Country Gentleman in time of maturity,
being very early. Per pkt. 10c; lb. 30c, postpaid

PORTLAND MARKET

An Oregon introduction, a very early, large eared
sweet corn and very productive. Its large well-filled
ears together with its plump, sweet grains of purest
white, make it a most profitable home or market
variety. Very popular with our market gardeners.

STOWELL’S EVERGREEN

Stowell’s Evergreen — This has long been the leading

Our stock is carefully selected, and can be depended
upon to produce fine large ears of superior quality.
The grains of good size, are long and slender — entirely
free from glaze or flintiness.

Per pkt. 10c; lb. 30c, postpaid

POP CORN

Black Beauty — We believe this is not only the
earliest maturing variety in cultivation but it is ready
for popping earlier than any other sort. It pops very
large and exceptionally white. The kernels are black
but this color is not noticeable after popping, when
this sort is the largest and most tender of all. The
ears are about six inches long, twelve rowed. The
kernels are smooth, shallow and are nearly square.

Per pkt. 10c

GENUINE EUREKA
ENSILAGE CORN

Outstanding as the Heaviest Producer of Silage
Material — It Pays to Plant the Best.

Many varieties of seed corn have been offered as
Eureka but we have found many times that corn
supplied is only the common Southern White Dent
or some other white variety which will produce a very
much smaller yield. Genuine Eureka is a smooth white
dent corn with short kernels, while most other corns
offered as Eureka are a long kernel type. Eureka
almost invariably will germinate nearly 100% and is
of such a vigorous growth that severe changes of
weather conditions do not affect the yield seriously
after the corn has become rooted.

We do not claim that Eureka will mature in the
Northwest.

HERE’S WHERE THE

TALL CORN GROWS!

(Oregon Journal, October 23rd, 1934)

The tall corn of Iowa has nothing on the corn grown
at the county farm.

O. A. Johnson, superintendent of the farm, reported
to the county commissioners Monday that 324 tons of
ensilage corn of an average height of 15 feet was pro¬
duced on 18 acres at the farm this year. This was 18
tons to the acre. At $3 a ton the total value was $972.

Johnson reported the two silos at the farm will
hold 200 tons. The rest of the corn was fed green to
the dairy stock.

Johnson submitted a photograph showing a man
riding a horse in the corn field. The corn reached far
over the man’s head.

CUCUMBER

The Cucumber requires well-enriched soil, and should
not be planted until settled warm weather, in this lati¬
tude, seldom before the middle of May. Plant the early,
small kinds in hills 3^ to 4 feet apart, the larger va¬
rieties 5 to 6 feet. Make the hills broad, use 15 to 20
seeds to the hill, dropping them well apart. Cover with
not over an inch of earth, and firm this well with the
hoe. If the young plants are attacked by the striped
bugs or other insects, dust frequently with air-slacked
lime, soot or ashes mixed with road dust, taking care
that too much is not used at one time. When all danger
from bugs is past, thin to three plants to the hill. Give
frequent shallow cultivation as long as vines will
permit.

Arlington White Spine — The cucumbers are very reg¬
ular in outline, uniform in size, averaging seven to
eight inches in length, straight and of a rich, dark-
green color. Flesh white, crisp, and solid, with com¬
paratively few seeds. Vines are of vigorous growth
and very productive.

Davis Perfect — Fruits vry deep green in color, rather
long, averaging ten inches or more in length, white
spined, quite slender, symmetrical, tapering slightly at
both ends. Flesh is crisp, tender and of good quality.

The seed cavity is small. The vines are very vigorous
growing and quite productive. Recommended as one of
the best sorts for shipping as it retains its attractive
dark color for a long time after picking.

Per pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; lb. 60c; lb. $2.00

Extra Early Green Prolific, or Boston Pickling —

This is a very prolific variety, largely planted for
pickles. The fruits average four to five inches in length
when large enough for slicing, and are of excellent
quality ; but it is chiefly for producing medium-sized
pickles that this variety is so highly esteemed. If the
fruits are gathered as soon as large enough, the vines
will continue bearing through a long season.

NOVELTY CUCUMBER “CHINA-LONG”

A most remarkable and handsome new long
green cucumber from China. The most fleshy
and finest flavor of the long green type. The
vines make a tremendous growth. They are
unusually vigorous, bearing an enormous crop.
The foliage is rich dark green and is quite re¬
sistant to diseases and insect attacks.

China-Long makes perfectly straight fruit.
They average about 20 inches. They are thickest
in the middle of fruit, where they average
2 to 3 inches in diameter. The attractive fruit
tapers gently towards the ends, holding their
thickness well until they run off into a round stem and blossom end. We recommend this novelty cucumber as
much the best of all, and the variety anyone should plant. Per pkt. 10c, postpaid

DILL

An aromatic annual having a warm pungent taste,
the seed of which is used for seasoning. Although
possessing medicinal properties it is chiefly used for
making Dill pickles. Plant grows two to three feet
high, of branching nature, with leaves cut into thread¬
like segments. Very easily grown. Sow in spring
after soil has become warm. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 4 oz. 25c

MAKE YOUR GARDEN WORK

Many people think that seeds cannot be planted
any other time than in April and May. This is far
from true. The wide-awake gardener begins sow¬
ing as early in the spring as possible, and sows suc¬
cession crops throughout the summer and until
late in the fall.

Long Green (The old stand-by)

sembles a lemon both in form and color, having a dis¬
tinctive flavor superior to and not found in any other
cucumber. The Lemon Cucumber is so prolific that a
single vine will be ample for the needs of the average
family. It is also said that the Lemon Cucumber can

Every garden should have a few Egg Plant plants.
These are easily grown and bear a good crop with
little attention. Egg Plants, sliced and fried, are de¬
licious and would be much more popular if better
known.

ENDIVE

Endive is one of the best and most wholesome salads
for fall and winter use. Sow in shallow drills in April
for early use or for late use in June or July. When 2
or 3 inches high, transplant into good ground or thin
out to 1 foot apart. When nearly full grown, and before
they are fit for the table, they must be bleached. This
is done by gathering the leaves together and tying with
yarn or bass to exclude the light and air from the inner
leaves, which must be done when quite dry, or they will
rot.

GARLIC

The Garlic is the most pungent of all the onion
family. It is much used in the south of Europe. The
root or bulb is composed of many small bulbs called
"cloves,” which are planted in the spring 6 to 8 inches
apart, and in August the bulbs are ready to gather.

KALE or BORECOLE

This is extensively grown, especially in the South
during the fall, winter and spring. The leaves are
used principally for greens. A favorite way is to cook
them with bacon. The leaves are also used for gar¬
nishing.

Where climate permits seed may be sown any time
from August to October, broadcast or preferably in
drills eighteen inches apart so that the plants when
small may be cultivated. The quality is improved
rather than injured by frosts if not too heavy. Farther
north sow in April or May in rich light soil in rows
two to three feet apart and where plants of the
largest size are desired thin to two feet apart in row.
It is better not to cut or handle the plants while
frozen, but if this is unavoidable, thaw them out in
cold water. The young shoots which start up in the
spring from the old stumps are very tender and make
excellent greens.

Tall Green Curled Scotch Kale — The plant of this
variety grows to three or four feet high, bearing long
plume-like, light green leaves which are deeply cut,
also finely curled at edges. Very ornamental and so
hardy that a moderately heavy frost improves rather
than injures its quality.

MARROW CABBAGE

(Chou moellier)

WHITE STEMMED MARROW CABBAGE

Marrow Cabbage is a valuable dairy and poultry
food, very similar to Thousand Headed Kale, but even
more prolific. The plants average four to six feet in
height, with stalks five to six inches in diameter and
weight fourteen to twenty pounds. The stalks are
edible and relished by cows. The lower leaves are
broken off and fed as they mature.

The plant is not so hardy as Thousand Headed Kale,
but is most valuable for green feed in fall and early
winter. The culture is the same as for Kale and
Cabbage. One pound of seed will produce plants for
one acre. Pkt. 5c; oz. I5c; lb. $1.50, postage extra
Every one with Poultry should have a patch of Kale

J. J. BUTZER, PORTLAND, OREGON

THOUSAND¬
HEADED KALE

Is a variety of cabbage that
produces enormously. The plant
attains a height of 3 to 4 feet ;
the stem is covered with leaves.
Animals, especially sheep, eat it
greedily. It grows well on any
land and is very hardy. As we
predicted it is now more popular
than the widely used Dwarf
Essex Rape.

The seed may be either drilled
or broadcasted. Drilled is the
better. If drilled, plant rows 26
to 30 inches apart as plants
should be thinned out so as to
stand 16 to 18 inches apart in
the rows. In drilling use % to

KOHL RABI

The edible part is
the turnip-shaped
bulb formed above

and excellent when
used before fully
grown, combining
somewhat the fla¬
vors of cabbage and
turnip.

Seed should be
sown in light, rich
soil as early in Spring
as possible in rows
oneand one-half feet
apart and when well
established thin to
six inches apart in
the row. Plantings
at intervals of ten
days will give a suc¬

fail to grow well.

Plantings may be
made the latter part
of July for Fall use.

Early White Vienna — This variety is extremely early,
with distinctly small tops. The bulbs are of medium size,
very light green or nearly white, and are of best quality
for the table if used when about two inches in diameter.

THOUEANU-HEAHED KALE

Cos or “Celery” Lettuce
— Salad Romaine

This is the Lettuce
that is served at the
best hotels and res¬
taurants under the
name of “Romaine
Salad.” It differs
from ordinary lettuce
by the shape of the
leaves, which are
elongated, spoon¬
shaped and very
crisp. It is grown in
the same manner as
Cabbage Lettuce, but
does not make a solid
head. The seed should
be sown early in the
spring, in good soil,
and when plants have
three leaves thin out
to stand about 4
inches apart in the
row, and when plants
are of a sufficient size
the leaves should be drawn together and tied, in
order to blanch the inner ones.

EARLY WHITE SELF-FOLDING

This excellent variety, also called Trianon, forms
a large light green plant with a well-folded head of
very good quality. The midribs are white and very
prominent. The inner leaves are nearly white, slightly
tinged with green, and are decidedly firm and sweet.
This is considered the most reliable of the Cos or

LETTUCE

For early outdoor culture in the latitude of Portland and Southward the seed may be planted in the fall,
protecting the young plants from severe freezing either wtih frames or coarse litter, which may be removed
as soon as danger of severe freezing is over.

Lettuce in ground out of doors will stand some freezing, but is killed by prolonged frost or frequent
freezing and thawing. North of Portland an early crop may be secured by starting under glass from January
to March and hardening off well before setting in ground, which should be done as soon as weather will permit.

Culture — Lettuce, to be at its best, should be grown rapidly, hence, the soil should be made as rich and
friable as possible by liberal manuring and thorough preparation. For winter, sow under glass from November
to February and thin out as necessary to prevent crowding. Keep a moderate heat and give all the light and
air possible. For general crop, sow outdoors as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, in drills
eighteen inches apart and thin the young plants to four inches apart in the row. As the plants begin to crowd,
thin them out and use as required. In this way a much longer succession of cuttings may be had from the same
ground.

CABBAGE OR HEADING VARIETIES

New York or Los Angeles — This is the variety that
is planted so extensively in all parts of California and
other states where lettuce is grown for Eastern ship¬

No. 12 NEW YORK LETTUCE

or EXTRA EARLY MOUNTAIN ICEBERG

A comparatively new strain of New York lettuce,
developed by Pieters-Wheeler Seed Growers of Cal¬
ifornia. This lettuce is about a week earlier than the
regular New York strain. It produces larger heads,
which are more rounded and less cone shaped. No 12
produces a very uniform crop. A crop that does not
tip burn, blight nor shine as readily, and because it is
not as susceptible to hot weather it does not bolt to
seed as quickly. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; y* lb. 80c; lb. $2.50

The introducer says : “A selection we have made
from California Cream Butter. It is similar to that
sort, but is earlier and without any brown spots or
brown edge, and Is of most excellent, tender quality.
It is very desirable for early spring planting, where
a butter head is demanded both for market and home
garden. We believe it has a place in the list of let¬

every essential of a highly desirable leaf lettuce and is
unquestionably one of the best and most reliable
varieties for all year around cultivation. Equally pop¬
ular with amateur and professional growers.

Its immense size and tenderness make it indeed a
Prizehead. It is quite early and is slow to shoot to
seed. The plants form a loose cluster of leaves, the
inner part of which is well blanched, though there is
no heart ; the leaves are much blistered and crumpled,
are of light brown color, varying to bright green, and
are of exquisite quality, tender and crisp in texture
and sweet in flavor. An excellent variety for home
use, more largely grown in this country than any
other. We sell very large quantities of this variety. Pkt.

Muskmelon or Cantaloupe

Culture — Plant the seed in hills six feet apart each way, dropping ten to twelve seeds in a hill. After the
plants begin to crowd and the striped beetles are pretty well gone, thin to four of the most vigorous plants in
a hill. Give frequent but shallow cultivation, until the plants make runners so long that this is impractic¬
able. Rich earth for the young plants is far better than manure, but if the latter must be used, see that it is
well rotted and thoroughly mixed with the soil.

If the plants grow very rank, more and finer fruit will be secured by allowing the main branch to continue
growing, but pinch off the end of each side branch after it has one fruit set. The quality of melons of all
varieties is largely dependent upon conditions of growth and ripening. Unhealthy vines or unfavorable weather
produces fruit of comparatively poor flavor.

YELLOW FLESHED VARIETIES

WATER MELONS

Culture — In order to get good Water Melons, it is essential that the plants get a good start, and to this end
it is important to prepare hills about eight feet apart by thoroughly working into the soil an abundance of well-
rotted manure — hen manure, sheep guano, guano, or other forms rich in nitrogen, being most desirable. Over
this highly-manured soil put an inch or more of fresh earth and plant the seed on this, covering it about an
inch in depth. It is important that the seed should not be planted before the ground becomes warm and dry, as
the young plants are very sensitive to cold and wet. When the plants have formed the first pair of rough leaves,
they should be thinned, so as to leave two or three of the strongest and best to each hill. Frequent watering of
the plants with liquid manure will hasten the growth, thus diminishing the danger from insect pests.

Cole’s Early — The Northern States’ favorite. As an
early melon it is the standard of high quality ; in
sugary delicous crispness, flavor and melting tender¬
ness, it is the top-notcher. It is oblong shaped, about
20 inches long, 12 inches through ; skin mottled green,
thin brittle rind, therefore not a good shipper. The
flesh is rich and deliciously sweet.

CASABAS

The Casaba is now at full zenith of popularity.
Previously it was grown as a late melon to mature
after the cantaloupe season. As a late melon its pop¬
ularity was confined to a limited section near the
Coast of Southern California. But it is now dem¬
onstrated that it can be grown in all semi-arid sec¬
tions side by side with the early cantaloupes and
water melons.

Golden Beauty — One of the best casabas. It is a
variety grown extensively for shipment, from South¬
ern California. The fruits are nearly globular, bright
yellow with golden tint, with wrinkled skin, six to

MUSHROOM

Pure Culture Mushroom Spawn — By a newly dis¬
covered process of selection and grafting, the spawn
is scientifically propagated, so that large, vigorous
and finely flavored mushrooms are reproduced. Earlier,
more productive and a marked improvement on wild
spawn.

Mushrooms are easily grown in the cellar or in dark
rooms where a temperature of from 50 to 65 dgerees
can be maintained. In making the bed, use fresh,
clean, stable manure, without much straw. Before
placing it in the bed, the manure-pile should be turned
over a few times. The bed should have at least 10
inches of solid manure. Put this in, in two layers,
and tramp each one down well. Test the heat of the
manure with the thermometer and when the tempera¬
ture is on the decline and between 90 and 100 degrees,
insert pieces of Spawn, each about the size of an egg.
10 inches apart, and 2 inches deep. After ten days,
spread on a layer of fresh, well-manured loam. If the
temperature is right. Mushrooms should come up
freely weeks after spawning.

Cultural directions, to be of any value, would be
too lengthy to give here, but we will forward full
directions for the planting and culture of spawn with
each order.

No. 7 BROWN (Bohemian) — A good producer of
heavy mushrooms.

No. 8 CREAM WHITE — A mammoth strain.

OKRA or GUMBO

Okra, or Gumbo — Cultivated for its young seed pods which are used in soups, or stewed and served like
asparagus. It is highly esteemed in the South. Plant in hills about four feet apart, putting six to eight seeds
in a hill, and after the plants are well started cut out all but two. The dwarf sorts can be planted much closer
in hills, two to three feet apart, or in drills two feet apart, thinning the plants to about one foot apart in the
row. Gather the pods when quite green and about an inch and one-half long.

ONIONS

Cultivation — Give the onions the first hoeing just
6kimming the ground between the rows as soon as they
can be seen in the row. Hoe again in a few days, this
time close up to the plants, after which weeding must
be begun. This operation requires to be carefully and
thoroughly done. The weeder must work on his knees
astride the row, stirring the earth around the plants,
in order to destroy any weeds that have just started.

At this weeding or the next, according to the size of
the plants, the rows should be thinned, leaving from
eight to twelve plants to the foot. In ten days or two
weeks they will require another hoeing and weeding
similar to the last and two weeks later give them still
another hoeing, and if necessary another weeding. If
the work has been thoroughly done at the proper time,
the crop will not require further care until ready
to gather.

Gathering — As soon as the tops die and fall, the bulb
should be gathered into windrows. If the weather is
fine they will need no attention while curing, but if
it is not they will need to be stirred by simply moving
them slightly along the row. Cut off the tops when
perfectly dry, about half an inch from the bulb and
then after a few days of bright weather the onions
will be fit to store for winter.

GRANDPA’S CONGLOMERATION
ONION SEED MIXTURE
Turn back in thought to the days of your youth,
when Grandpa and Grandma planted the vegetable
garden. There was always a large corner in which
a mixture of different kinds of onion seeds was
planted on the theory that if one sort did not do
well the other sort would, and in that way it hap¬
pened always that there never was a shortage of
onions. If the good housewife wished a mild white
for salads, it was always found therein ; if she
wished a more pungent one, that was taken. If she
wished a brown or yellow or red, or no matter what
color, there they were, and with this in view we have
arranged “Grandpa’s Conglomeration Onion Mix¬
ture”; It contains all colors, shapes and sizes. A
package of seed is sufficient to grow one or two
bushels, an ounce from three to five bushels, and a
pound is safe for 60 to 100 bushels or more.

PEAS

For early peas the soil should be light and warm, but for general crop a moderately
heavy soil is better. Fresh manure and very rich or wet mucky soil should be
avoided, as they cause a rank growth of vine at the cost of the quality of the peas,
furthermore such soil is often the cause of early sorts maturing unevenly.

Sow as early as possible a few of some early variety in warm, quick soil, prepared the fall before, planting in double
rows six to eight inches apart and two and one-half to four feet between the double rows. The general crop can be delayed
until later, but we have met with better success from sowing all the varieties comparatively early, depending for succession
upon selecting s orts that follow each other in maturity.

The peas will give quicker returns if covered only one inch deep and where earliness is most important they may be
treated in that way. Larger pods and more of them will be produced if the seed be planted in trenches three to six inches
deep and covered with only one or two inches of soil. When the plants are five or six inches high fill the trench level
with the surface. This will secure deep rooting, prevent mildew and prolong the bearing season. If the peas be covered
to the full depth at first, or if water be allowed to stand in the trenches they will not germinate or grow well.

The wrinkled varieties are more sensitive to cold wet weather than the smooth seeded sorts but are of superior
quality. All varieties growing more than one and one-half feet do better if staked up or brushed when four to six
inches high. This support is usually given by sharpened branches of trees set between the double rows. The crop
should be gathered as fast as it is fit for use. If even a few pods begin to ripen, not only will new pods cease
to form, but those partly advanced will stop growing. Your own grown peas are by far the sweetest.

THE BIG FOUR

BLUE BANTAM

Bears abundantly long, handsome pods fully as large and

half inches long and are tightly packed with eight to ten
extra large, deep bluish-green peas. These peas are not only
large in size, but of most luscious flavor. The pods are ready
to pick as early as American Wonder, while double the size ;
in fact, they average fully as large as Gradus ! If sown

Bliss Everbearing — The vines are stout, of medium
height, about two and one-half to three feet, bearing
at the top six to ten good sized pods, about two and
one-half to three inches long. If these pods are picked
as they mature and the season and soil are favorable,
the plant will throw out branches bearing pods which
will mature in succession, thus prolonging the season.
The peas are large and wrinkled, tender, of superior
flavor and preferred by many to any other sort.

filled, holding 8 to 10 peas. “Laxtonian” is so highly
recommended that you should give it a trial.

GARDEN PEAS (Continued)

Laxton’s Progress — The earliest and by far the best
of the large-podded, large-fruited wrinkled peas. Of
all the varieties producing peas of equal quality, this
is the heaviest yielding. It bears long pods, averaging
one more pea to the pod than Blue Bantam, Hundred¬
fold, Pioneer and Laxtonian. It is an improvement
upon Laxtonian, which has hitherto been the finest of
the dwarfs for table quality.

EDIBLE PODDED PEAS or SUGAR PEAS

This class of peas is not generally known in this country, but is much used abroad. The sweet, brittle and

succulent pods have none of the tough inner lining found in ordinary varieties of garden peas ; they are used

in the same way as snap or string beans, and are excellent also for pickles.

MAMMOTH MELTING SUGAR

This is one of the best-known of all edible-podded peas. The vines grow luxuriantly and reach a height of 6
to 7 feet. The pods are borne in great profusion all over the vine and they should be gathered when the seeds are

just beginning to form. They are broken in pieces the same as string beans and make a delicious and palatable

dish. Per pkt. 10c; Ys lb. 15c; lb. 25c, postpaid

GIANT LUSCIOUS EDIBLE POD

PEANUT CULTURE

As the Peanut is a tender, warmth-loving plant the seed should not be planted until the soil has become warm and
the Maple trees are out in full leaf. They succeed best in light, easily worked soil but can be grown in heavy, well-
drained ground if kept well cultivated. When planting remove the shells, planting the kernels one in a place fifteen to
twenty inches apart in the row. The cultivation is the same as for Bush Beans and the soil should be frequently hoed
or cultivated to promote strong, rapid growth until the plants commence to flower. The flowers appear at the base of
the stalk and when they appear loose earth should be hilled up around the stalks so that the nuts may bury themselves
in the soil. When the foliage is touched by frost, lift or pull up the plants with the nuts attached and hang up to dry
in a cool, airy room or shed.

Jumbo (See illustration) — -The plants produce a large quan¬
tity of nuts, adapted for culture in our northern climate,

PEPPER

Peppers are used very extensively as a condiment.
In Mexico the hot varieties are eaten raw as we would
eat radishes, but the greatest use is for seasoning
other dishes. The large, thick-fleshed, sweet varieties
are eaten more extensively farther north and are
served in various ways, green or ripe, with vinegar
and salt, like tomato salad, or made into mangoes, by
cutting one side, removing seeds and filling with
chow chow pickles.

The culture of peppers is the same as for egg plant
and the plants need quite as much heat to perfect
them. Guano, hen dung, or any other bird manure
hoed into the surface soil when the plants are about
six inches high, will wonderfully increase the product
and also improve the quality of the fruit.

Chinese Giant — This standard variety is larger than
“Ruby King/* It is very prolific for so large a pepper.
The productiveness may be increased by pinching off
the first or “King blossoms.*' The fruit grows 4 to 5
inches broad on top and of equal length, and quite
uniform in size ; the flesh is unusually thick, mild
flavor and makes a very fine salad sliced and served
like tomatoes. The color is green turning to glossy
scarlet when ripe.

PUMPKINS

Pumpkins are not so particular in regard to soils as
melons or cucumbers, but in other respects are culti¬
vated the same, though on a larger scale. They are
generally raised between hills of corn, but may be
planted with success in fields by themselves. The
pumpkin more properly belongs to the farm than the
garden, especially as it really mixes with and injures
the quality of the finer squash.

SMALL SUGAR, or NEW ENGLAND PIE

This variety is small but of most excellent quality
for pies. The fruits are deep orange, 8 to 10 inches
in diameter, round or somewhat flattened and slightly
ribbed. The flesh is rich deep yellow, fine grained and
very sweet.

sometimes reaching two feet or more in diameter, and
from one hundred to two hundred pounds in weight.
Salmon-orange skin, very thick, bright yellow flesh,
which is fine-grained, tender and of excellent quality
for pies. To raise the largest fruits, vines should
be allowed ample space in which to grow — only one
plant should be allowed to grow in a hill, and only
the best fruit left on the vine.

RADISHES

For forcing, sow in hotbeds or under glass in rich, sandy soil, made perfectly level. Scatter evenly over the
surface from sixty to one hundred and fifty seeds to the square foot and cover with one-half inch of soil sifted
on, and attend carefully to the watering and airing. If the bed is a good one, the whole crop can be marketed
in twenty-one to forty days after planting. For open ground culture, sow on rich, sandy soil as soon as it is fit
to work in the spring, in drills twelve inches apart and thin out the plants, if necessary, to prevent crowding.
A good dressing of nitrate of soda will greatly stimulate growth and insure tender, brittle roots. Successional
sowings from one week to ten days apart will keep up a supply. After the hot weather of summer begins, it is
better to sow the summer and winter varieties, as they do not become tough and stringy nor pithy so quickly as
the early sorts. Radishes are subject to root maggots, which make them useless for culinary purposes. We
know of no certain remedy for this pest. We have found that the best preventive measures are to avoid the use
of rank manure, and not to sow on ground where radishes, turnips or cabbages were grown the year previous.
We have been very careful to secure the very best seed possible, and there is none sold under other names which
is better than that of the varieties we offer.

SAXA, THE
EARLIEST

Sparkler (Scarlet Turnip White Tip) The Best for the West— Most attractive small round roots with bright
scarlet top a clear white base, and small, slender taproot. The juicy flesh is pure white in color and of agreeab y
snappy flavor. Scarlet Turnip White Tip is most popular with many market gardeners who grow for anjjarly
and choice market. Our strain of this variety is extra fine.

White “Icicle” — The finest and longest of the very
early pure white varieties. Planted in spring and the
radishes are ready for use in twenty to twenty-five
days. Their long, slender form and pure paper-white
skin are most attractive when bunched for market.
This radish is not only crisp and tender when young,
but retains these qualities until the roots attain large
size, so that it will remain in fine condition longer than
any other first-early variety. It is excellently adapted
for forcing purposes or successive sowing in the open
ground, and gives a continuous supply of tender, crisp
radishes throughout the season.

it is stirred the better. Sow in drills an inch deep,
and thin out the plants to six inches apart. In the
fall transplant into very highly-manured and deeply-
stirred soil, setting them four to six feet apart each
way, and give a dressing of coarse manure every
spring. The stalks should not be plucked until the
second year, and the plant never allowed to exhaust
itself by running to seed. Per pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 2 oz.

Salsify or Vegetable Oyster

Culture — It succeeds best in a light, well-enriched
soil which should be stirred to a good depth. Coarse
and fresh manure should be avoided, as it will surely
cause the roots to grow uneven and illshaped. Sow
early and quite deep, giving the general culture rec¬
ommended for parsnips. The roots are perfectly hardy,
and may remain out all winter, but should be dug
early in spring, as they deteriorate rapidly after
growth commences. Store a quantity for winter use
in a pit or in a cellar packed in damp earth or sand.

Sandwich Island Mammoth — This grows uniformly
to an extra large size, averaging fully double the size

SQUASH

The Squash is one of the most nutritious and valuable of all garden vegetables. The summer varieties come
to the table early in the season, while the winter sorts can be had in perfection from August until the summer
varieties are again in condition. Few farmers appreciate the value of winter squash as food for stock. We think
an acre of squash, costing no more to cultivate and much less to secure, will give usually as much food available
for feeding stock as an acre of corn, and we strongly urge our readers to try a “patch" for this purpose.

Culture— Squash plants are very tender and sensitive to cold, and planting must be delayed until warm
weather. The general methods of culture are the same as those given for cucumbers and melons, but squash is
less particular as to soil. The summer varieties should be planted four to six feet apart each way, and the winter
sorts eight pr ten. Three plants are sufficient for a hill. In gathering the winter sorts care should be taken not to
bruise or break the stem from the squash as the slightest injury will increase the liability to decay.

BURPEE’S BUSH FORDHOOK SQUASH

In thi6 new true bush type the plants can be grown
much more closely together. The fruits are rather
shorter and thicker than those of the running type ;
they are also thicker-fleshed, and have a smaller seed
cavity. They are unsurpassed for baking, frying, or
making pies, while stored in a dry place they will keep
in good condition until the following June.

summer or winter use. The vines are of strong, vigorous
growth and wonderfully productive. Fruits oblong in
form, eight to ten inches in length, slightly rigid,
smooth, thin, yellowish skin, flesh very thick and of a
light straw-yellow. Either for baking like sweet potatoes
or making pies during the winter, the quality is un¬
surpassed. _ _ ...

TOMATOES

Culture — Tomatoes do best on light, warm, not over rich soil, and success depends upon securing a rapid,
vigorous and unchecked growth during the early part of the season. Sow in hotbeds from six to eight weeks be¬
fore they can be set out of doors, which is when danger from frost is past ; when the plants have four leaves trans¬
plant into shallow boxes or cold frames, setting them four or five inches apart ; give plenty of air, and endeavor
to secure a vigorous but steady and healthy growth, so that at the time of setting in the open ground they will be
strong and stocky. Even a slight check while the plants are small will materially diminish their productiveness.
Set out of doors as soon as danger from frost is over, but before doing so harden off the plants by gradually ex¬
posing them to the night air, and by the withdrawal of water until the wood becomes hard and the leaves thick and
of a dark-green color. Transplant carefully and cultivate well as long as the vines will permit.

To insure best results in respect to early ripening, as well as the amount and perfection of fruit, it is advis¬
able to train up and trim the vines, especially if the patch is rather small. When the plants have been properly
started and are six to ten inches high, they will begin to throw out branches. Select one of the largest and most
vigorous of these and pinch off all others except this one and the main stem. Care must be exercised not to pinch
off the fruiting branches, which, as they appear, can be distinguished by the buds that are formed very early. In a
short time these two remaining branches will become equally vigorous, and as ordinary varieties will grow four to
six feet high during the season, they should be securely tied at intervals of about ten inches to a long stake, pref¬
erably two inches square which has been securely set in near the root of the vine. Fruit will set to almost any
height desired if all side branches are kept trimmed off.

By such a method of training and trimming the fruits are kept clear from the ground, and with free access to
sunlight they ripen much earlier ; the vitality, otherwise exhausted in superfluous branches and leaves, is utilized
in forming fruits of largest size, greatest perfection of shape and best quality.

CHALK’S EARLY JEWEL

CHALK S EARLY JEWEL

The largest, smoothest and finest-flavored extra early
bright red tomato! Within a week to ten days as early as
Spark’s Earliana, it is even a heavier cropper, with tomatoes
of larger size and sweeter flavor — produced continuously
throughout the season. Of compact growth, the plants are
fairly loaded with fruit. The tomatoes are uniformly of
good size — seventy-five will fill five-eighths bushel basket.
The large, handsome fruits are very solid and deep through,
being almost round, or ball-shaped. Color brightest scarlet,
ripening right up to the stem without any cracks or green
core. The thick flesh is very solid, with comparatively few
seeds, and of fine, sweet flavor; skin thin, but sufficiently
strong to make it a good shipper. Per pkt. 5c; Yi oz. 25c;
oz. 40c; J4 lb. $1.00; per lb. $3.50, postpaid.

BONNY BEST

An early, scarlet-fruited variety which has proven a
success all over the country. It is from ten days to two
weeks earlier than Chalk’s Early Jewel, which it other¬
wise resembles. It is smooth, very even in size, very
solid, and also very prolific. It is one of the best house-
garden, canning and shipping tomatoes in existence.

DWARF CHAMPION

This is sometimes sold as the “Tree Tomato.” It is a
second early or main crop, purplish pink variety, espe¬
cially desirable where garden space is limited. The
vines are about two feet high, vigorous, upright and
compact. The fruits are medium sized, exceptionally
smooth and of very good quality. Our stock is a very
superior strain with more even, smoother fruit than the
original. Per pkt. 5c; oz. 50c; 2 oz. 85c; % lb. $1.40,
lb. $5.00, postpaid.

SPARKS EARLIANA

The plants are compact in growth with short, close-
jointed branches, setting fruits very freely in the center.
An entire plant may be covered with an ordinary bushel
corn basket — yet so freely are the fruits set that each plant
will produce a five-eighths bushel basket of tomatoes dur¬
ing the season of about four weeks, which covers the
bearing period of the early plants.

The tomatoes are quite uniform in size and of smooth
regular form, averaging three inches in diameter and from
two to two and a half inches in depth; they are fleshy, solid
and excellent for shipping purposes. Choice seed of this
strain is extra selected and far superior to the stock usually
sold. Per pkt. 5c; 34 oz. 25c; oz. 40c; 2 oz. 70c; 34 lb.

MARGLOBE WILT-RESISTANT TOMATO

MARGLOBE WILT-RESISTANT

Probably no tomato has created such intense interest
since the introduction of our Wood’s Famous Brimmer.
It was bred primarily to produce a red wilt-resistant
tomato of the Globe type and exceeded all expectations.
It is not only wilt-resistant, but is resistant to "nail-head
rust” as well; is a splendid bearer, the fruits averaging
one-half pound, firm, thick and mildly acid. Ripens per¬
fectly, does not crack easily and is of \ery superior quality.
The fruits are of good size, smooth, solid, deep from stem
to blossom, and are borne in clusters of 5 to 7 fruits.
Marglobe has proved its ability to withstand long periods
of wet and unfavorable weather conditions. Per pkt. 10c;
oz. 40c; 2 ozs. 75c; 14 lb. $1.50; lb. $5.00.

GOLDEN QUEEN

The Finest of the Large Yellow Tomatoes

The superior flavor of the yellow varieties is bringing
them into favor as table fruit, and those who think of a
yellow Tomato as the rough fruit of the old yellow sorts
will be surprised at this smooth, beautiful fruit which
though large, is as smooth and well-shaped as the best of
the red varieties, and of a fine and distinct flavor.

TOBACCO SEEDS

Culture — A very clean piece of land is best for the
tobacco plant beds, hence it is customary to burn a
piece of land in the woods for plant beds. This de¬
stroys grass, weeds and insects, adds fertility through
the action of the wood ashes, and leaves the ground
in good order. The seeds are sown about February
and protected by plant-bed cloth to keep off tobacco
flies. When large enough and weather is settled (about
June), set the plants out in highly manured or fer¬
tilized soil in 3%-foot rows, 3 feet between the plants.
Constant care must be given, cultivating, suckering,
worming, etc.

TURNIP

PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE — The best for the Northwest

Sow in drills about two feet apart and half an inch deep, or sow broadcast, but in either case be sure to
have the ground rich and freshly stirred. Thin early and keep free from weeds, so that the young plants will not
be checked in growth. Any over-crowding will result in rough and poorly-flavored roots. It is important to get
the spring and summer crop started very early, so that the turnips may have time to grow to sufficient size before
hot weather causes them to become tough and bitter.

In Middle and Western States sow for fall and main crop middle of July to last of August, and in the manner
given for spring sowing. In the field turnips are often sown broadcast, though in most cases better results are
obtained by drill culture.

EXTRA EARLY WHITE MILAN

This variety is remarkably early. The tops are very
small, strap-leaved, upright and compact, so that rows
can be planted close together. The roots are clear
white, very smooth, flat and are of best quality when
only about two inches in diameter. The flesh is clear
white, mild, sweet and tender. Very desirable for
early use, especially for forcing. Per pkt. 5c; oz. 15c;
2 ozs. 25c; % lb. 35c; lb. $1.00, postpaid.

EXTRA EARLY PURPLE TOP MILAN

MIXED RUTABAGA SEED, VERY POPULAR

RUTABAGAS or SWEDES

Culture of Ruta Bagas — Sow the seed from about the
middle of June to the middle of July. Ruta Bagas re¬
quire ground enriched with well-rotted manure, and
should be sown in drills about two and one-half feet
apart and the young plants thinned eight to twelve
inches apart in the row. Keep free from weeds by
frequent cultivation, and when the roots are full grown
and before hard freezing weather, pull them, cut off the
tops and store in a root cellar or pit. Ruta Bagas are
sometimes sown broadcast and left to take their
chances with the weeds and bugs. So treated, the crop
is seldom a success, though occasionally on new clear¬
ings, free from weed seed, fair results are obtained.

BUTZER’S BEST

This is a strain of Purple-Top Yellow Ruta Baga of
American origin, selected to a smaller top and a much
shorter neck than is usually found, while the roots
grow to a large size, and are of the finest quality and
excellent for table use and stock feeding. We consider
this one of the most desirable kinds on our list.

PURPLE TOP YELLOW ABERDEEN

A medium sized, round, late maturing, long keeping
yellow-fleshed turnip. Roots yellow with purple top. Flesh
pale yellow and of very firm texture, approaching the Ruta
Baga in this regard, but tender and sweet. Since it requires
a longer time to mature, the seed should be sown about
two weeks earlier than most sorts. It is hardy, productive
and valuable for stock feeding. Per pkt. 5c; oz. 10c;

yellow Cow Horn. Pure yellow except a little shade
of green at the top. Grows part out of the ground and
is of very rapid growth ; a heavy cropper and of de¬
licious flavor. It has proven itself to be far superior
to any turnip ever introduced for stock feeding as it is
a heavy yielder and relished by all stock.

SWEET, MEDICINAL AND POT HERBS, FROM SEED

To preserve varieties of which the leaves and stems
are used, the stems should be cut from the plants just
before the blossom appears (leaving a few joints at the
base to sprout into fresh growth), tied in small bunches
and hung up to dry. Where wanted for home use it
is preferable to leave them hanging in a cool loft or
garret until they are needed for use. The varieties
marked with an asterisk (*) are hardy perennials, liv¬
ing over from year to year, and need replanting when
the old plants become exhausted.

BUTZER’S FLOWER SEEDS
STANDARD VARIETIES, NOVELTIES and SPECIALTIES

Plant flowers for your table, flowers for your home, and flowers for your friends. You can never have too
many flowers. An abundance of pretty bouquets can be had with so little work and so little expense that every
home should have the cheering influence of flowers. The culture of many is so very simple that anyone can
succeed. Flowers are divided into three classes: Annuals, which produce flowers, mature and die in one season.
Biennials, which grow from seed one year and bloom and die the second year. Many of these will produce flowers
the first year if sown early enough. Perennials, which live for several years, producing flowers annually after
the first season. These are grown from seed and also by setting out cuttings, slips, or divisions of roots. Peren¬
nials are very satisfactory, as they live for many years and produce large quantities of very beautiful flowers.

ABRONIA

Umbellata Grandiflora (Sand Verbena) — 6 in. A
charming trailing succulent plant, with Verbena-like
heads of fragrant flowers, of bright rose with white
center ; it delights in a dry, poor soil and sunny sit¬
uations on rock-work. Per pkt. 10c.

ABRUS

Precatorius (Crab’s Eye Vine or Weather Plant) —

This beautiful plant has created a great sensation. If
the leaves stand upward the sky will be cloudless ; if
they stand out straight, changeable weather is indi¬
cated ; when the leaves hang straight downward, water
may be expected to fall in torrents. A local storm is
indicated by the curling together of the leaves. Bears
clusters of bright yellow flowers, followed by pods with
brilliant red seeds used for making beads, etc. Seeds
should be soaked in luke-warm water before planting.

the largest possible florets closely spaced in large
spikes on a medium tall plant. The flowers are the
largest of any type, with far better spacing than that
found in any other type. They have been proven the
best for both cut flowers and borders and will, no
doubt, supersede the other strains when a complete
color range has been developed. So far, the colors run
principally to the orange and terra cotta shades, which
are, of course, favorites in Antirrhinums.

ASTERS

QUEEN OF THE ANNUALS

In recent years we have paid particular attention to
American grown Asters, for they have greatly in¬
creased the popularity of this flower. We know of no
other flower so easily raised from seed, which combines
so much beauty with grace and usefulness and is
more satisfactory than Asters. They make a brilliant
effect when grown in masses and furnish a constant
supply of cut flowers. Every garden, large or small,
should contain Asters.

Culture — Sow either in the open ground in May or
in March or April in cold frame, spent hot-beds or pots
or boxes in the house, covering the seed with about
^4-inch of good rich soil ; when the plants are strong
enough, transplant about 18 inches apart in deeply-
dug, well-prepared beds. Asters must not be planted
in freshly manured soil nor in soil that has been
planted to Asters for two or three years previous.
Slaked lime or fresh wood ashes are beneficial if
stirred in the soil a little before planting and are said
to counteract the ravages of the aster blight. A few
soakings with tobacco water around the roots during
the growing season is also recommended.

AMERICAN BEAUTY

Similar in type of flower and growth to the well
known Late Branching Asters, but differs in that all
the large blossoms are produced on much longer and
heavier stems. Some of the individual stems measure
more than two feet in length. It makes a very heavy
growth, and is one of the latest flowering Asters that
we know. This should be in every garden.

CALIFORNIA GIANT DOUBLE

We take pleasure in recommending this type as the
best Aster on the market today. Characterized by
the well known Crego or Ostrich Feather type of
flower, combined with the Beauty Asters* long, non¬
lateral branching stems and sturdy habit of growth,
the California Giant Double type of Aster stands at
the head of the list, not only for florists’ use but also
for private gardens where quality is appreciated.

SINGLE GIANTS OF
CALIFORNIA

It was developed out of the Double
Giants of California type. The flowers
are large, measuring three to four
inches across, with stems 18 to 24 inches,
in length. The petal has a slight twist,
which adds a piquant touch to its
beauty. The white blossoms resemble
Shasta Daisies in appearance, but their
greater length of stem makes them more
graceful and better adapted to florist’s
use. In the garden, the Single Giants
of California add a charming note of
simplicity among the fuller types of
Asters. We believe this new, single type
of Aster is destined to become very pop¬
ular. We can supply this in White,
Rose, Light Blue, Purple, and Mixed
at 15c per pkt., 2 pkts. 25c.

IMPROVED NEW ASTER

Giant California Sunshine Mixed — They are the re¬
sult of a direct cross between the now well-known
California Giants and the dwarf, much-branched Sun¬
shine type, hence the name. Plants of this new race
grow 3 feet high and bear blossoms on long, stiff
stems, admirable for cutting. The individual blooms
are enormous, 4 to 5 and 6 inches in diameter.

BALSAM (Apple) (Pear)

Apple — 10 ft. A very ornamental and quifck growing

intended to bloom. Sow in the open ground early in
May. Blooms through summer and fall. Per pkt. 10c

BEAN (Runner)

Scarlet Runner — Largely grown as an ornamental
for its attractive flower clusters. The young shelled
beans are quite palatable and serve the same purpose
as shelled Limas. Pkt. 10c.

BEGONIAS— TUBEROUS ROOTED

These are not so hard to grow to perfection if you
prepare your soil before planting the bulbs. They
prefer a rich soil with a liberal quantity of Peat or
leaf mold. This should be thoroughly dug in and
incorporated with the soil. If your soil is not rich add
some Bone Meal at the same time. Plant them about
one foot apart and the bulb about one inch deep. Do
not water them until the leaves appear, at no time
when in growth should they be allowed to become dry.

The bulbs that we are offering this season are grown
by a specialist in Oregon and we believe far superior
to those that are grown in the warmer climate. We
are only offering them in mixed colors. When we last
saw them they were a wonder to look at. We believe
they will please you as much as they did us.

30c each or $3.00 per dozen, postpaid

The trailing tuberous Begonia is a recent introduc¬
tion and it is a profuse bloomer in all shades except
blue. (Price same.)

Plants for shady or half shady places are not many.
The tuberous Begonia is a welcome acquisition, as it
blooms the entire season, till the frost kills it. The
tubers should be dug and kept dry in a basement free
of frost till next spring, when it is planted again.

are removed as soon as they fade, new ones will continue
to appear, at intervals all summer. The colors run from
pure white to darkest blue. Some varieties have a
black center, others show a pleasing contrast, in shades
of blue, between the inner and outer petals. Stake all
varieties when 18 inches high to prevent them from
blowing down.

DIMORPHOTHECA— (Star of the Veit,
African Daisy)

Most of us know the African Daisies and have ad¬
mired their bright blossoms which are among the
earliest to come in the spring. In a border or massed
bed they are delightful, but for a really gorgeous
display of colors in contrast, plant them with bedding
Petunias. The showiest effect is obtained by using
mixed colors of African Daisies, and the dark shades
bedding mixture of Petunias, sowing the seed broad¬
cast or setting out the plants informally, giving the
appearance of being broadcast. The effect is startlingly
beautiful and this bed or border will be the showiest
spot in the garden. Dimorphothecas thrive in the
hottest climates, so they can be grown in any part of
the country, or in the hottest corner of the garden.

BUTZER’S PANSIES

Pansies are too well known to require any descrip¬
tion, as they are favorties with all. For best results
you must start with a good strain. The finest Pansies
are, as a rule, shy seeders, which accounts for the
difference in the price of the various mixtures offered.

Sow Pancy seed in August or September, in fresh,
moist soil, cover lightly and press seeds in with a
board. Keep the bed moist by watering, and if the
weather is hot and dry by mulching with straw or by
shading with cloth. The seeds will germinate in about
two weeks, when the straw or cloth should be removed.
In from four to six weeks, transplant to a slightly
raised bed, setting the plants about 3 inches apart each
way. Protect during winter with straw or leaves,
and transplant to desired location early in the spring.
Seed may be sown in the open ground in the spring
as soon as soil can be fitted.

BUTZER’S GIANT PANSIES

BUTZER’S ROSE CITY GIANTS

The plants distinguish themselves by their robust
growth, and form compact bushes of round shape, with
strikingly large, healthy looking foliage.

The imposing five-spotted flowers which on long,
vigorous stalks surmount the foliage in the most
graceful manner, are of enormous size, perfectly round
form, original structure and unusual substance. The
individual petals are exceedingly broad and cover each
other in such a manner as to make the flowers appear
almost double. With most of the flowers the border
of every petal being conspicuously undulated and
curled, which grants the flowers a striking and very
peculiar appearance, entirely new to this class of
plants.

The beauty, brilliancy and richness of color being
the most striking ; also very rare and new tones of
red and brown are met with in these flowers.

*PAEONIA MOUTAN (Tree Peony)

These immense beautiful and well known flowers
from another source of Japanese pride, are too well
known to require description. Their present popular¬
ity is due to the great improvement in them in recent
years, their easy culture, the handsome appearance of

massive, finely formed and rich colored flowers. The
attention given to them in Japan and Europe has
resulted in the production of many notably fine new
varieties which rank about first for lawns or flower
borders or shrubby decoration. Sow seed outdoors in
well pulverized, rich soil, covering about one inch.
Germination is very slow, taking from 3 to 4 months.
With ordinary care they will bloom the third year.

SWEET PEAS
GIANT SPENCER

Too many varieties of Sweet Peas. It has always
been a puzzling question to small growers, who, de¬
siring to grow only a limited number of sorts, with
as great an assortment as possible, are sometimes
rather disappointed because some of the varieties are
so nearly alike.

It will be realized that exhibitors and other keen
growers are influenced by delicate shadings of color,
by difference in form, by the way the blooms are placed
on the stem, and so forth. We, therefore, keep a
sufficiently wide range of varieties to suit these tastes,
although, to the casual eye many of them are very
much alike. We have made up our list of varieties,
which, we believe, will answer all purposes.

Culture — Early planting is advised so that they may
bloom before very hot weather. Dig the soil deeply
to allow deep rooting. Open a trench four to six
inches deep, in which plant the seeds early in February
and cover with an inch of soil and press it firmly.
When up about two inches begin cultivating and grad¬
ually fill the trench until it is level. Do not allow the
roots to become too dry ; water at least twice a week.
Be sure to gather the blooms, otherwise the vines will
stop flowering.

Fall Planting — Sweet peas may also be started in
October, November and December, planting four to six
inches deep ; give them slight protection and they will
become well rooted and grow off at the first opening
of spring and produce an abundance of blooms earlier
and for a longer season than spring plantings.

Gather sweet pea blooms frequently; the more you
cut them the better and longer they bloom.

ZINNIAS— GIANTS OF
CALIFORNIA

This type was introduced in 1926, with the convic¬
tion that it was a type that would become a favorite.
This is a mutation from the Dahlia Flowered type
and the general approval in the past four years has
encouraged us to go further into the development of
this for florists’ and general use. The great advantage
of this type is that the very large flowers are of enor¬
mous size and flat, getting away from the conical type
of the Giants and eliminating the stiffness that has
been so objectionable in Zinnias in the past. The
flowers from the time they open are attractive, making
them a good cut flower from the early bud until they
are in full bloom. They are twice the size of the
ordinary Giants.

Cerise Queen — Beautiful cerise rose.

Enchantress — Color same as Exquisite in Dahlia
Flowered type.

Miss Wilmott- — Soft pink.

light or dark lilac, making a wonderful combination
of colors. The plants are of strong, robust growth
and produce an abundance of very large, double flowers
often 5 inches in diameter. Pkt. 10c.

ZINNIA FANTASY MIXED (Bodger)
(Grower’s Description)

New zinnias are always welcomed by home growers
and florists alike. While the giant flowered varieties
are still popular, the trend of late years has been
toward the smaller flowered, more graceful strains.
The new Fantasy Mixture meets this demand in all
details : the rounded flowers are composed of a mass
of shaggy ray-like petals which give a delicate and
refined appearance to the medium-sized double flowers,
large enough to satisfy the desire for mass of color,
yet small enough to lend themselves gracefully to
flower arrangement. The color range includes the
brightest shades of reds and orange, as well as the
popular pastel pinks and cream. Pkt. 25c.

ZINNIA DESERT GOLD (Bodger)
(Grower’s Description)

Several years ago we introduced the fascinating
new zinnia, Crown O’ Gold, in mixture. The yellow
and gold shades in this mixture were immediately pro¬
claimed the most attractive and sought after as sep¬
arate colors. We are very happy now to offer these
shades as Desert Gold, a variety containing the light
and deep hues of gold, each petal overlaid at the base
with a deeper golden yellow, giving a charming
bicolor combination. Those who appreciate the finest
in zinnias will welcome Desert Gold. Pkt. 25c.

SCABIOSA FLOWERED

A new zinnia much resembling the scabiosa.
Flowers are 2 to 3 inches across, in many desirable
colors and with stems suitable for bowl arrangement
and small bouquets. A few off type may be expected.
Mixed colors. Pkt. 25c.

est and best ; rich, rosy crimson, shaded and veined in
a most charming manner.

Angele Pernet
(Pernet) — A
really enchanting
color. The lovely
cupped blooms of
brownish orange-
red, are edged
with chrome-
yellow, with
golden yellow
outside petals. In
the autumn the
flowers last
longer, and have
better coloring ;

morning. Makes a
bushy, upright
growth and

deep yellow veinings at the base.

Augustus Hartman (H. T.) — Brilliant red flushed
with orange. Very large well formed flowers with high
pointed center.

Austrian Copper (Rosa foetida bicolor) — Species.
Rather more slender in growth than most of this
group, reaching 4 to 5 feet. The wiry stems are covered
in early summer with garlands of single flowers, vivid
copper-red on the inner surface of the petals and
bright yellow on the outside. Spectacular and of great
interest.

Betty (H. T.) — Beautiful coppery-rose color, over¬
spread with golden-yellow ; fragrant.

Cuba (H. T.) — As a bedding rose for brilliant mass
effect we know of nothing that will equal this French
introduction and although the flowers are semi-double,
they possess a charm and brilliancy in color which is
an entirely new tone in roses, a glorious bright ver¬
milion-scarlet overlying an orange ground. This
color combination is so intense that in full sunlight
it glistens with an iridescent sparkle. A vigorous
grower with dark green foliage which makes a splen¬
did foil for the masses of richly colored blooms that
it produces from spring to late fall.

Chateau de Clos Vougeot (H. T.) — A very rich, fiery
scarlet shading to deep velvety crimson. It is delight¬
fully fragrant, a prolific and continuous bloomer.

grand general character. Color, rich orange flame over¬
spreading the petals to a distinct orange yellow base.

Columbia (H. T.) — This beautiful rose is of strong,
vigorous habit of growth and exceptionally free-bloom¬
ing. The flowers, which are of good size, are perfect
in form, both in bud as well as when fully expanded.
In color it is a most pleasing shade of rose-pink and
delightfully fragrant.

Conrad F. Meyer — A most valuable addition to the
list of hardy free-blooming roses. The color is a beau¬
tiful pure silvery pink. It is of ironclad hardiness.

Constance (H. T.) — Rich orange yellow, distinctly
streaked and splashed with crimson, long pointed buds ;
free bloomer.

Countess Cl&nwilliam (H. T.) — A distinct and

charming rose, producing flowers in great abundance.

with deep cherry red. Long pointed buds opening to
large full flowers. Of strong, vigorous habit.

of a rich and glorious crimson color heavily shaded
maroon. Buds and flowers of superb form, of fine size
and produced on fine long stems, admirably adapted
for cutting. Wonderful mildew-proof foliage.

Dainty Bess — The finest single rose introduced in
years. The five-petaled flowers are born in clusters
of three and are delicate pink in color, with a brown¬
ish-red overcast, and a contrasting center of wine-red
stamens, the bush is strong, tall and vigorous.

Dame Edith Helen — A magnificent, fragrant, full-
bodied new rose of many substantial petals which curl
back prettily, holding steadily to one vivid pink color,
and that the rare Rose du Barri shade.

Donald MacDonald (H. T.) — -Orange-carmine, semi¬
double flowers of medium size ; perfumed. Blooms in
sprays ; compact growth.

Doris Dickson — Exquisitely formed medium-sized
flowers, the base color of which is orange cream, but

come a favorite.

fused with apricot yellow, very free and perpetual, a
delightful garden rose.

Duchess of Wellington (H. T.) — Intense saffron yel¬
low stained with rich crimson which as the flower
develops, becomes deep coppery saffron yellow. De¬
lightfully fragrant.

Earl Haig — A type rare among red roses, and so of
obvious interest to the selective buyer. Outside of its
fragrance, freedom and unfading cherry-crimson color,
the thick rolling petalage, and permanent high-built
center, fix its superiority over less compact varieties.

E. G. Hill— Here
is the finest new
red rose in
several years,
with immense
flowers of very
lasting, dazzling
scarlet, never
fading or turning
blue, but actually
becoming deeper
red as it opens.
The flowers are
borne on long
stems, and are
deliciously
fragrant. The
foliage is
abundant.

Eldorado (Land
of Gold) (H. T.)

— Of free flower¬
ing habit and
fragrance, in
color it is of the
golden yellow that is peculiar to the climbing rose
Marechal Niel.

Etoil de France — This famous French Rose probably
needs no extended description, for it is already quite
well and favorably known. Flowers globular, very full
and lasting, borne on stiff stems, well above the foliage.
Color deep velvety crimson of much richness and bril¬
liancy. Remarkable for its strong growth and free
blooming qualities.

Etoile De Feu (H. T.) — Very attractive large sub¬
stantial globular buds expanding to large, cupped,
full to centre flowers, of a rich flaming orange-pink
with flame colored shadings, borne profusely through¬
out the season. The plant is of vigorous free habit.

excellence in the

universal

OREGON-GROWN ROSE BUSHES— “The World’s Best”

Each 50c; 3 for $1.25; 12 for $3.50, Postpaid. Two-Year-Old Field Grown

NOVELTIES and VARIETIES OF RECENT
and PRECEDING YEARS

Autumn (H. T.) — For intense richness of color, this
rose outdoes any other variety now in cultivation. The
full handsome buds are a superb shade of burnt-
orange, and the opening flowers are heavily suffused
with russet-brown and bronzy red all overlaid on a
background of rich yellow in a color combination
reminiscent of the most glorious autumnal foliage.
The bush is a good grower, and the foliage is heavily
textured and healthy. It would be difficult to give a
description of the colors in this rose which would
exaggerate.

Briarcliffe (H. T.) — -A fine rose of the Columbia
type, producing large, longer buds than that favorite
and has large, high pointed, double, very lasting, mod¬
erately fragrant flowers of a brilliant rose-pink at
center, shading lighter at outer petals. One of the very
good garden roses.

Cecil (H. T.) — A wonderfully decorative, new, single
rose with good-sized five-petalled flowers of a glorious
buttercup yellow. There is no other variety anything
like it. It blooms continuously on a large, densely-
branched bush with glossy green, mildew-proof foliage.

Duchess of Atholl (H. T.) — Uncommon and delight¬
ful in color, large globular bud of deep bronzy orange ;
large double flower of cupped form ; intensely fragrant ;
vivid orange, flushed old-rose ; vigorous and free
flowering.

Edith Nellie Perkins (H. T.) — An outstanding, vig¬
orous, and free flowering rose. Long, pointed buds of
good size. Long lasting, double, fragrant flowers.
Orient-red, shaded cerise-orange ; inside salmon-pink.

Gaiety (H. T.) — A plump little bud of soft coral-
pink, with a good deal of red on the outside of the
petals in cool weather. Opens to a flower of pale
salmon-pink. The growth is very strong, and the buds
keep for a long time when cut. Just the dainty flower
that you would choose for your buttonhole or for a
dainty little basket of buds.

Golden Dawn (H. T.) — The ideal yellow garden rose.
The ovoid, lemon yellow bud is heavily splashed with
crimson and develops into a well-formed, sweetly-
scented, large, double, sunflower yellow flower that
reminds of the old favorite Marechal Niel. Vigorous
and free flowering.

Hortulanus Budde (II. T.) — A Dutch rose of recent
introduction. Dark glowing red, with long tight beau¬
tiful buds, opening to a semi-double flower with bright
golden stamens in the center. A very strong growing
bush and a very free bloomer.

Lady Inchiquin (H. T.) — A vivid garden variety of
solid color, orange-vermilion brilliantined by cerise.
The flowers are somewhat open, with curled petals ;
but are large and very free.

Li Bures — “The most pictorial rose in the test gar¬
den,” said a prominent rosarian. The bud first shows
orange-maroon and alternately displays tints of
maroon and yellow in the moving panorama, ending
with yellowish pink to old rose — a unique assemblage
of attractive colors. Highly perfumed, on a vigorous
plant with holly foliage.

Marion Cran (H. T.) — A truly remarkable novelty
exhibiting a brand-new color expression with each
phase of its flower development. At first — deep butter¬
cup yellow, margined and flushed cerise. Next, as it
opens — the outside of petals retain their color, but
the inside is geranium scarlet flushed yellow and veined
in orange. At last — the whole is rosy scarlet overlaid
deep cerise, with a flush of buttercup. The flowers
are of shapely fullness and good size, free ; on bushy
upright plants of continuous production.

Mevrouw G. A. Van Rossem — A marvelously beauti¬
ful rose with a unique color combination, a most strik¬
ing blending of vivid orange and apricot on a golden
yellow ground with frequently touches of bronze on the
reverse of the petals. The sweet-scented flowers are
very large, of perfect formation both in the bud as
well as in the fully developed flower and are produced
very freely. Each 75c.

Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom (H. T.) — The best
yellow bedding rose we have today. It is of clean
healthy vigorous growth with abundant dark bronzy
disease-resisting foliage and a continuous free bloomer
throughout the season. The good-sized buds are long
and develop into full double, very shapely flowers of a
rich, deep, lemon-yellow ; sweetly scented.

Mrs. John Laing (H. P.) — Immense blooms of soft,
clear pink, very fragrant on stiff, stocky stems. Pro¬
duces a longer succession of blooms than most of its
class and the bush is not quite so tall and rampant.

Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont (H. T.) — Medium sized long-
pointed bud of a reddish gold opening to a semi¬
double, cupped, very lasting fragrant flower of a deep
golden yellow. The plant is of strong vigorous com¬
pact growth. A profuse and continuous bloomer.

Mrs. W. E. Nickerson (H. T.) — An extremely vig¬
orous free-flowering two-toned rose, salmon and orange
on opposite sides of the petals. Lovely long buds,
immense flowers and a good habit make it a most
valuable new variety.

Mme. Alexandre Dreux — An excellent golden yellow
of deep tone, with full, shapely flowers on erect
branches.

Mme. Jules Bouche — A splendid white, at times
slightly tinted with just a touch of tender blush pink.
Long pointed, shapely bud and full double, fragrant,
well-formed flower. Growth vigorous ; a free and con¬
tinuous bloomer.

Nona — We have admired this rose so much all
through the several summers that we have observed
it and cut so many of its wonderful long buds that
we cannot help but be enthusiastic over it. It has the
same appeal possessed by that dainty little rose, Lulu,
but the buds are even longer than those of that
variety, and the bush is loaded with them at all times
from early in the spring until late in the fall. The
blooms are semi-double, of rich vermilion and flame-
pink. The bush is very large and the stems are very
long and upright.

Olympiad (Mme.) (H. T.) — This brilliant new red
rose first sent out spring of 1932 is now available in
strong plants at popular prices. The color of Olympiad
is unique — a lustrous dark Oriental scarlet, its depth
of color accentuated by the golden base and intensified
by a rich velvety sheen. The bud is long and pointed
and the flower magnificent in every stage of develop¬
ment.

Princess Marie Jose — A new European rose of bright
orange-vermilion, with shadings of yellow and red ;
large, full and high-centered, with a fruity perfume.
The brightly colored flowers with their long stems will
make a brilliant show in any garden.

Rose Hill (H. T.) — The newest Columbia sport, with
larger petals of greater substance, and a deeper tone
of pure rose pink. These thick outer guard petals do
not break raggedly like some, thus preserving the
original perfection of form. The stems are practically
thornless.

NOVELTIES and VARIETIES of Recent Introduction

Rudolph Valentino — Delicately scented rose of a
lovely shade of shrimp-pink or coral rose with golden
suffusion. Unlike any other variety. Free, continuous
bloomer.

Schwabenland (H. T.) — There are many pink roses
but none just like this new variety either in color or in
the splendid formation of its blooms. The flowers are
large ; over five inches in diameter, with high spiral
center, the petals having a peculiar twist or curl. In
color it is a luminous rich rose-pink, retaining its
brightness until the petals drop, the flowers are
carried singly on long stiff stems. A strong, healthy,
hardy, vigorous grower and free flowering.

Sensation (H. T.) — Great large buds of scarlet crim¬
son, shaded at times with maroon and with a rich
sheen, opening out beautifully to very double flowers
and lasting well when cut. The bush is most vigorous
and free branching.

Sir David Davis (H. T.) — The flower is unfading,
deep glowing crimson with a touch of yellow at the
base, large, not formal, and sufficiently perfumed.
The blooms come on long stems and are useful for
house decoration.

Vaterland — The most distinct dark colored variety
yet introduced, deeper and richer in effect than the
Hybrid-Perpetual variety Prince Camille de Rohan,
a rich deep velvety scarlet maroon and a splendidly
formed high centered flower of remarkable keeping
qualities. The plant is of vigorous strong erect habit
with healthy foliage and free and perpetual flowering ;
unquestionably the best of this type that has yet come
to our notice.

Ville de Paris — A clear sunflower yellow rose which
does not fade even in the hottest sun. The plant is
a vigorous erect grower with handsome glossy reddish
green foliage ; disease proof, almost thornless and the
stems are long.

Wilhelm Kordes — This German variety of bizarre
and marvelously beautiful coloring is, in our opinion,
one of the most interesting roses in our collection
because of its extremely variable coloring. The color in
general is red or pink on a yellow ground, but it
varies from pink to red and yellow so greatly that it
piques your curiosity into wondering what the com¬
bination will be in the next flower that unfolds. It is
always attractive, with real substance and beauty
of form.

of yellow stamens. These flowers are borne in immense
bunches and a large plant in full bloom is a sight not easily
forgotten.

Black Boy — A sweet scented large fiery scarlet overlaid
with maroon.

Climbing American Beauty — Its name is somewhat mis¬
leading, but is one of the best climbing roses ; a strong
healthy vigorous grower, frequently making shoots from 10
to 12 feet long, and good sized flowers for a climbing rose
that blooms so freely ; color deep rose pink, of good form
and substance.

Dorothy Perkins — The old favorite soft shell-pink still
popular.

Dr. W. Van Fleet — A rose, which on account of its dainty
color and exquisitely shaped buds and flowers, has become a
great favorite. The long pointed buds are of a rich flesh-
pink on stems 12 to 18 inches long ; splendid for cutting.
A strong vigorous grower.

Mme. Gregoire Staechelin (The Spanish Beauty) — An out¬
standing climber, a strong, vigorous, healthy grower with
good foliage: one of the earliest to bloom with buds and
flowers of great beauty. The buds are shapely, long pointed
on 12 to 14-inch long stems ; the base color is an irridescent
pearly pink tipped with crimson as the petals first unfold
into shapely, semi-double fragrant flowers. Really a queen
among climbing roses.

Paul’s Lemon Pillar — A very beautiful and entirely dis¬
tinct showy very large double, pale sulphur-yellow, passing
to white, perfectly formed fragrant flower, that has proven
hardy in this latitude. Fine as a pillar rose.

roses. Unequaled in brilliancy by any other variety, in color

LAWN GRASS

SUGGESTIONS FOR MAKING AND CARE
OF LAWNS

It must not be supposed that by sowing grass seeds at
any season of the year in soil of any character, and in any
state of cultivation or neglect, a durable, attractive turf is
to be formed. From the beginning the lawn is both trouble¬
some and expensive, and even when obtained, it is like
liberty, preserved only by “eternal vigilance. ” The coarser
natural grasses and weeds will take possession unless kept
down, and wherever, from any cause, a bare spot is formed
it will rapidly enlarge unless repaired.

A good foundation must be secured, or the rest of the work will be entirely wasted, and too great care can¬
not be exercised, since the roots must be able to penetrate quite 18 inches in order to keep the grasses growing
through the scorching days of July, August and September, if the ground is not already very rich, give a liberal
application of fertilizer, avoiding the use of stable manure, as it invariably contains seeds of weeds and noxious
grasses. Bone meal never produces the “burned” appearance so often noticed after the use of ammoniated fer¬
tilizers. Harrow or rake the surface to the finest possible condition and roll until all elevations and depressions
have been removed.

Rake the seeds in lightly, following with a roller of medium weight, a firmly rolled surface being absolutely
necessary if the ground be dry ; small areas may readily be packed firm by the back of a spade. Sowings made
in the Fall, from the first of September to the middle of October, are most successful, but if deferred until
Spring, sowings may be made in February, March and April.

When the grass is well set, about 4 inches high, it should be cut with a sickle or mown with the machine set
to avoid cutting too closely, 2 inches at least being left above the root. After then a cutting every ten days
and an occasional rolling will make the grass finer, strengthen the turf and keep all rank-growing weeds in
check. In the heat of Summer the mower should be arranged so as to leave ample protection to the roots. An
occasional saturation is much better than the daily sprinkling commonly thought beneficial. If bare spots ap¬
pear they must be patched up by breaking the ground about 10 inches deep, smoothing the surface and raking
in double the usual allowance of seed. To maintain the vigor and color of the grass a light top dressing of
bone meal two or three times a year is advisable. Liberal applications of Grozit Brand sheep manure are very
beneficial and will give your lawn that rich, velvety appearance that is so much admired by everyone.

For quick results apply a light dressing of Vigoro, Morcrop or Sulphate of Ammonia.

BUTZER’S FANCY LAWN GRASS SEED

It is the easiest thing in the world to grow a beautiful lawn. There is nothing that gives quicker growth and
a thicker sod than Butzer’s Fancy Lawn Grass Mixture. It produces a perfect and enduring lawn of luxuriant
richness, with closely interwoven, firm, elastic turf, and is often ready for mowing four weeks from sowing.
This Lawn Grass is composed of a combination of various native and foreign, fine-leaved, deep-rooting grasses
of interweaving habit, that flourish under our varied conditions, soils and climates, growing during different
seasons of the year, so that a deep green, smooth and velvety sward, free from clumps, is maintained from
Spring to Winter, year after year, and without burning brown in Summer.

Whether you want to seed a small grass plot in your yard or a lawn of more pretentious size, you should use
Butzer’s Fancy Lawn Grass Seed. Sow 1 lb. to 400 square feet. Price per lb. 60c, postpaid

BUTZER’S SHADY LAWN GRASS SEED

For sowing on the north side of buildings, between houses, and for securing a lawn

under large shade trees

In many lawns there are places which seem as if nothing can be grown ; some are shaded by large trees and
others by buildings. For these locations we have offered for some time our Butzer’s Shady Lawn Grass Seed,
which readily meets the desired requirement. Price per lb. 60c, postpaid

CREEPING BENT GRASS

(Agrostis Stolonifera.) Distinctive on account of its compact, creeping, rooting stems. Of rapid growth and
spreading habit, forming a strong, durable turf. Good for lawns and putting greens because of its fine texture.
If sown alone, use 50 lbs. to the acre. Write for price.

SEASIDE BENT

The long creeping stems and spreading habit of this splendid grass make it ideal for Putting Greens ; it
makes a lasting turf that withstands hard usage.

The leaves are fine and it develops a dense growth, making it valuable. Write for price.

CHEWING FESCUE

A low-growing grass, fine leaved, forms a close turf
soils, even the lightest and driest; unexcelled for lawns
Canadian Blue Grass — (Poa compressa) — Recom¬
mended in all pasture mixtures on dry soil ; thrives
well on clay or hard trodden and poor soil. Sow 28
pounds per acre. Write for price.

Kentucky Blue Grass — (Poa pratensis)— As is well
known, this is the grass for which the State of Ken¬
tucky is famous. Although it is preeminently a pasture
grass, it is frequently used in making lawns. When
Kentucky Blue Grass is used for lawn purposes, the
seed is generally sown at the rate of 30 to 40 lbs. to
the acre. If White Dutch Clover is desired, this seed
should be added at the rate of about % pound to every
15 pounds of grass seed. Write for price.

Red, or Creeping Fescue (Festuca rubra.) — Red Fes¬
cue is adapted to about the same general climatic con¬
ditions as Blue Grass and can be grown as far north¬
ward as any agriculture is possible. Its leaves are
bright green and the plant does not grow in tufts but
creeps by underground stems.

that prevents ingress of weeds, permanent in all kinds of
and golf courses when properly grown. Write for price.

Rough Stalked Meadow Grass (Poa Trivialis) — A
grass which deserves much greater popularity and
should be better known as it is an ideal shade grass in
the Northern half of the United States if it can have
enough moisture. This grass is a perennial closely re¬
lated to Kentucky Blue Grass but somewhat finer and
softer. It has a splendid apple-green color and is a
creeper. Sow in Fall or Spring, at rate of 1 lb. to
every 300 square feet. Write for price.

Red Top (Agrostis Vulgaris) — A good perennial
grass for permanent lawns and pastures.

Wood Meadow Grass — (Poa nemoralis) — In the
Northern and Middle States this is the best of all lawn
grasses for deep shade. Very hardy and a perennial.
Its creeping roots establish a lasting, even and deep
green turf.

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN GRASS SEEDS
Even if farmers have a surplus of cheaper, local
grown seed. There is as much difference between
poorly cleaned, country run seed and thoroughly re¬
cleaned graded seed as between other raw and finished
products.

The difference in quality is far greater than the
difference in price of thoroughly cleaned, bright color,
plump, high in purity and germination, and uniform
in quality.

VICTORY OATS

Excels Others in Yield on Light Soil
Tests show Victory Oats to be way ahead of all
others in yield on light soils, the quality is good, and
as productiveness is the most important point with
most growers, we highly recommend this variety.
Victory is a head oat; the straw is of medium height
and is particularly firm and elastic, making it resistant
to lodging. Write for Price.

Swedish Red — A comparatively new tree oat from
Sweden having a soft hull and fine soft straw which
is ideal for hay. This is the oat grown so extensively

CHERRIES

A Fruit That Makes
Profits for Growers

A good cherry orchard is
one of the most profitable
ventures a farmer can un¬
dertake. With but little care,
the trees are very thrifty
and prolific, bearing large
crops annually.

The compact shapeliness
of Cherry trees, their glossy
foliage, and spring glory of
clustered blossoms, gives them ornamental value even
in the lawn.

The trees are naturally hardy, succeeding best on
sandy or gravelly loam, well drained. Avoid low or
wet ground.

Sweet varieties grow more rapidly and make larger
pyramidal trees. Set trees 18 to 20 feet apart. The
Sour varieties are dwarf and bushy, bear earlier, and
are more largely planted. Set trees 15 to 18 feet apart.

GRAPES

The grape is the easiest of all fruits to grow. The
plants take little room, they thrive despite neglect
and every year they produce their wealth of beautiful,
health-giving fruit. With its roots in any old nook
you can lead it away in any direction to provide a
grateful shade for the pump, or for a restful seat, a
border for a walk or climbing on the wall or house —
East, West, North or South, on hill or in valley, on
poor soil or rich, the grape grows, thrives, bears ; it
never disappoints. Plant a few vines or a large vine¬
yard — make your own grape juice — jams, marmalades,
jelly ; and have plenty to eat fresh from your own
vines.

after 14 years experimenting, with the purpose of

berries. Bright red, “no crumbling,” ships well,

crops.

A NEW RASPBERRY— POTOMAC

This is what Mr. H. C. Compton has to say about
the Potomac Raspberry :

‘‘This is the best purple raspberry yet developed
and ideally adapted to northwest soil. Tip plants
planted in spring 1932 showed no winter damage and
bore an enormous crop of berries this year on year-
old plants with laterals 3 feet long and the new canes
August 1st higher than a man can reach. These
plants were pronounced by a representative of the
U. S. Dept, of Agriculture as fine as has seen in the
best adapted soils in the east.

The fresh fruit is slightly tart ; they are best in
pies, jams, jellies and for canning, requiring sugar
to bring out the real flavor. A very firm fruit. Fruit
similar in size and shape to black-caps, purple in
color. Each 30c, 5 for $1.25, 10 for $2.00; 25 for
$4.00, prepaid.

CULTURE OF SMALL FRUITS

Bramble fruits like blackberries, raspberries,
dewberries, etc., should have all old wood (older
than the previous season’s growth) cut out close to
the ground each spring and the past season’s
growth should be trimmed back to 3 or 4 feet in
height. All of the old canes should be removed and
should be burned.

Mulching of currants and gooseberries will give
good results.

We will have no Strawberry Plants to offer.

blooms — cannot wash out the finest seeds or roots.

Performs dependably under all pressures. The higher
the pressure the greater the sprinkled area, so the range
can be controlled at the hydrant.

Every Mistyfier is a lifetime sprinkler. No moving parts
to wear — no bearings to stick — no arms to break — no pin¬
holes to clog.

Clean-cut in appearance — compact — cast of special
aluminum alloy. Cannot get out of order.

ARTIFICIAL MANURE

(Patented in the United States and Abroad)

ADCO is a powder which, when mixed with almost
any non-woody vegetable waste and kept moist, grad¬
ually converts the mass into real manure fully equal
to the farmyard product in fertilizing power, but free
from foul odor, flies, weed-seeds, etc. The process is
perfectly simple and not at all laborious.

GARDENERS can now have plenty of manure at low
cost and little trouble.

FARMERS, by utilizing straw, corn stalks, etc., can
secure their manure without the expense and labor of
maintaining livestock.

PEAT MOSS — Saves Moisture

Mixed into heavy clay. Peat Moss keeps the soil
porous so that moisture can circulate freely during
the hot spells when clay bakes hard. In sandy soils,
Peat Moss captures and retains the moisture which
would otherwise too quickly run away. As a thin
mulch over any planted surface, it keeps down weeds,
attracts moisture from above, and protects under¬
moisture from evaporation.

Imported — A splendid fine grained type for pre¬
serving moisture. Spread thinly on the lawn or on
the surface of pot plants. Bale $2.25.

one hour than a month’s hard labor at digging out
weeds.

SEED SHORTAGES

The drouth and unfavorable growing conditions in some of the seed growing sections has
resulted in a very short supply of many items. It is almost certain there will not be enough
cucumber and sweet corn seed for 1935 plantings, some varieties of onion, turnip, tomato,
pepper, and squash are scarce, and there is none too much beet. We suggest that you order
as early as possible.
