1 oz. for 60 feet drill; 400 plants.
To grow plants from seed, sowin April or May, in drills about one inch deep, in rows a foot apart. Keep the soil mellow and free from weeds. During the Summer “thin out,’’ ana the follow- ing Spring the plants may be set out in beds, 6x6 feet wide, witha path two feet wide on each side ; set the plants about a foot apart each way, with the plants four inches below the surface. The deeper the soiland the more manure used, the greater the crop. Annually after the first cutting, the bed should be given a liberal top dressing of manure, ashes and salt, which should be well culti- vated into the soil. As soon as the tops turn yellow inthe Fall ~ they should be cut and removed from the beds, and just before Winter cover the beds with four inches of coarse strawy manure ot leaves, which should be removed in the Spring.

/ Early Round-Pod Red Valeutine.--
the early markets, because its growth is so rapid, and because it stands shipment per- fectly.

Peck $1.00. Bu.$4.00.
Stringless Green Pod.—This new bean produces a vine similar to Red Valen- tine, but develops pods to edible condition — two or three days earlier than Valentine, that is to say in thirty to thirty-one days from germination, which extraordinary maturity for table at once advances the Stringless Green Pod to the first rank among table beans. The pods are green, not quite so Zs round as Valentine and less curved. The ODT ese pods Are stringless—absolutely so—this quality at once placing the variety at the top of the list among table bearis, While the early maturity is of great merit, this stringless quality is of particular value, the pods brgaking as short and free as pipe stems.

Dwarf Wax or Yellow Pod Varieties.
* Davis Kidney Wax.—A new variety introduced 1897 season. It is adapted alike for the canner, market gardener, shipper or amateur. The dry bean is large, kidney shaped and white in color, making it one of the best for cooking in the dry state. The pods are long, mealy, string- less, and of a beautiful yellow color.

CuLTUuRE.—Seeds should be sown thinly in drills one-half to one inch in depth. Make the first sowing when the trees are starting out in leaf and continue with additional plantings every three or four weeks until August lst, so that a constant supply of fresh, tender roots may be had throughout the season. Owing to the spongy character of beet seed, the soil covering the seed should be packed firmly, either with the foot or roller, to insure proper germination. When the young plants are two or three inches in height they should be thinned to stand
four to six inches apart in the
when cooked like spinach, or may be transplanted to other rews for an
additional supply.
Seed may also be sown early in a hot-bed and transplanted to the garden when the season is warm enough.

Cabbage requires deep, rich, mellow soil, high manuring and ‘good culture to obtain fine, solid heads. For early use sow seeds of the early kinds in the hot-bed or in a box in the house the last of January or early in February, and transplant in the open ground in April, in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches in the row ; or sowa bed of seed outside as soon as the soilcan be worked. Transplant in about 4 weeks. For second early cabbage, sow in April and transplant in May. For late cabbage, sow in May, and transplant in July in rows 3 feet apartand 2 feetintherow. Intransplanting it isimportant that plants be set down to the first leaf, so that the stem may not be injured in case of frost. Be careful not to cover the heart of the plant. Hoe every week and stir the earth deep. As they advance in growth draw a little earth to the plants until they begin to head. To preventsplitting or bursting go frequently over the ground and start every cabbage that appears about to ma- ture, by pushing them over sideways, which breaks some of the roots and checks its growth. To prevent attacks of Cabbage Fly on small plants, dust thoroughly with plaster, air-slacked lime or wood ashes. For Cabbage Worm try Slug Shot; (see Insect De- stroyetrs jh this Catalogue.) One ounce of seed produces about
ants. Four ounces will grow enough plants to set an acre. EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIEED.

1 oz. to 200 ft. of drill. 3 lbs. to an acre.
CuLTuRE.—June or July select a bed of good soil, drill fifteen inches apart, sow seed and cover lightly. The plants should not stand closer than twelve inches. Keep the earth to the stems, destroy weeds and hoe liberally.
To blanch the plants and destroy bit- terness, when the leaves attain suffi- cient length, tie them closely at the top, while perfectly dry, for the purpose of excluding light and moisture, or cover withflower-pots. After fourteen days they will be ready for use.
1 oz. to 5Ohills. 1 to 2 lbs. to an acre.
Cutture.—For the growth of cucumbers hills are raised, standing five feet apart. Quite rich, sandy soil is the best. If necessary enrich the hills with a mixture of sandy soil and strong rotten manure. For early use, plant in May ; for pickling, plant in June or July. Eight or ten seeds should be allowed to each hill, as the young plants are often destroyed by bugs.
Soon as the plants attain vigor, thin them, leav- ing the three most promising ; if practicable water Pie the drought, keep soil loose and free of weeds.
Early White Spine.—One of the best sorts for table use. Vines vigorous, fruiting early and abundantly ; fruit uniformly straight and hand- some, dark green, with a few white spines; flesh tender and of excellent flavor.

PEAS.
On account of the very short crop in some varieties of Peas, prices are subject to change without notice.
Peas mature early in a light, rich soil. For a general crop, a rich, deep loam, or inclining to clay, would be best. They thrive better if the ground has been manured for a previous crop, but ifthe ground is poor and requires manuring, use well rotted manure, and for the dwarf varieties you can hardly make the soil too rich. When grown for a market crop they are seldom staked or brushed, but are sown in single rows | inch apart and 3 to 5 inches deep, the depth depending on the time of sowing, nature of soil, as well as variety. Rows should be from 2% to 3% feet apart, according to variety, soiland manner of culture desired. When grown in gardens it is best tosow in double rows, 6 to 8 inches apart, the tall ones requiring brush, which is stuck in betweentherows. Commencesowing | early varieties as early as the ground can be worked in the Spring, and continue, for a succession, every two weeks up to June, discontinuing until the middle of July, when a good crop can usually be secured by sowing the extra early and early sorts. It is best to late planting on sandy soil, as there is some danger of mildew at this season when planted on heavy land. They should be kept clean with the cultivator or hoe, and earthed up twice during growth. Wrinkled varie- ties are not as hardy as the smooth hard sorts, and if planted early should have dry soil and not planted deep, or they are liable to rot in the ground; they are, how- ever, the sweetest and best flavored varieties.

CULTURE.—Select light sandy soil; spade deeply and manure well. For early crop, sow in hot-beds in February or March. For main crop, sow at intervals from early spring until last of September, in deep, rich soil. Broadcast sowing is allowable, but drilling is more professional; however, radishes do well by either method. Thin when they crowd, or the crop will be imperfect. They may be drawn after a few weeks’ growth.

For very early fruit the seed should be sown ina hot-bed about the first week in March in drills 5 inches apart and half inch deep. Later sowings may be made until the last of April. Sufficient plants for a small garden may be started by sowing a few seed in a shallow box or flower pot and placing in a window in the house. When the plants are 3 or 4 inches high they should be set out 4 or 5 inches apart in another hot-bed or cold frame, or re- | moved into small pots, allowing a single plant to a pot.
Expose to the air as much as possible to harden. Water AY Zi freely at time of transplanting, and shelter from the sun a yy few days until the plants are established.

tor is run too near the plants. Tomatoes will admit of training to stakes or ttellises, and the fruit is very much improved, not only in appearance but in quality. This mode ot cultivation is quite common among gardeners who grow for early market. The usual method is to set one strong plant to a stake 5 to 7 feet high, tying the plants up with wool or other strong, softtwine, pruning out quite treely as vines advance in growth. By this method plants may be set much closerthan in the ordinary way. For fine, large specimens of high color and attractive appearance generally, grow the clusters of the fruit in paper sacks, as is commonly practiced by grape growers. Thesacksshould be put on when the tomatoes are about three-fourths grown,

Farm, Field, Forage and Silo Seeds.
We give special attention to the quality of all our Farm Seeds, and send out only recleaned stock. It is our aim to send out absolutely pure stock, true to name. For green manures, we recommend sowing thickly, Scarlet Clover, Sugar Cane, Tares, Field Peas, Rye and Oats, and plowing under when six to eight inches high.
Owing to market fluctuation, impossible to quote prices. When in need, state quantity, and we will be pleased to send samples and quote lowest market Prices.
Kentucky Blue Grass.—Perennial. Height, 10 to 15 inches. This valuable grass is suited to a variety of soils, from an average dry one to moist medows, and as a pasture grass is indispen- sable. It is very productive, unusually early, and presents a beautiful green appearance in early spring, while other grasses are yet dormant. It makes a splendid lawn grass, forming a thick turf, and being of very even growth, producing only one flowering stem a year, while many other grasses continue to shoot up flower stalks throughout the season, Kentucky Blue grass also makes hay of excellent quality, but the yield for this purpose is not equal to some other grasses. Sow (if alone) 40 pounds per acre ; weight per bushel, 14 lbs.
Orchard Grass.—Perennial. Height, 3 feet. It blossoms about the same time as Red Clover, making it, on that account, a desirable mixture with that plant. It is exceedingly palatable to stock of all kinds, and its power of enduring the cropping of cattle commend it as one of the very best pasture grasses. Sow 35 pounds to the acre; weight per bushel, 14 lbs.
Red Top, or Herd’s Grass. — Perennial. Height, 1 to 2 feet. Valuable either for lawn mix- tures, mixing in hay, or permanent pasture grasses; is common throughout the country; succeeds almost everywhere, but reaches its highest stage of perfection in a moist, rich soil, in which it attains a height of 2 to 2}4 feet. Sow (if alone) 45 pounds per acre; weight per bushel, 14 lbs.
Fancy Pure Seed.—Weight about 32 lbs. per bushel. Sow 10 to 12 lbs. per acre.
Red Clover Medium.—tThe common variety, used with other grasses for either pasture or meadow.
Red Clover—Mammoth, or Pea Vine.— Grows 5 or 6 feet high, with large, coarse stalks, and is largely used for plowing under for manure,
Crimson, or Scarlet Clover.—tThis is a variety in common use in the South for feeding green. The yield in fodder is immense, and after cutting, it at once commences to grow again, and continues until severe, cold, freezing weather. In warm climates, four or five cuttings are made dur- ing the season. It grows about 1 foot high, blos- soms long, pointed, and of a very deep red or car- mine color. Makes good hay.
MILLET.
Golden, or German.—This is a valuable for- age plant,and yields very heavy crops ; grows from 2 to 4 feet high, heads single and similar to Hun- garian, though large and with bright yellow oval
seeds. BUGKWHEAT.
Japanese.—tThe straw is heavier, it branches more, and does not need to be sown as thickly as the other kinds.
Silver Hull.—A heavy yielder; the berry is of a light silvery-gray color.
Timothy.—A well-known grass, and on some soils it will produce a larger crop than any other variety. We carry a large stock of this seed, which is graded as ‘Prime,’ “ Strictly Prime,” and “Choice.” |
AliskKe, or Hybrid Clover.—Even clover- sick lands will produce a good crop of this; peren- nial and very hardy. It is very valuable both for pasturing and soiling ; very productive, sweet and fragrant. The flowers are a distinct light pink, and much liked by bees. Sow in spring or fall; 6 lbs. to an acre.
Alfalfa, or Lucerne.—One of the best varie- ties, succeeding in almost every situation. Will bear cutting three or four times during the season. For bringing up poor land it is the best of the clovers, as it not only produces large masses of foliage, but forces its roots down fully three feet into the earth. Sow in the spring to secure a good stand before winter. If to be used for pasturage or curing, sow 15 to 20 lbs. per acre.
SOUTHERN COW PEAS. The Great Land Renovator.
Their value as a fertilizing crop exceeds that of clover, for in addition to being a larger Nitrogen gatherer than clover, they draw from the subsoil to the surface large amouuts of both Potash and Phosphoric acid, thus putting the soil in most excellent condition for following crops.
Sow 1% to 134 bushels per acre, on land thoroughly pul- verized,and disk or plow with a cultivator or double shovel plow. If wanted for hay, cut when peas are forming, cure as clover. If peas are for fertilizer,sow same quantity as for hay, turn uuder when peas are in bloom.
SORGHUM, OR SUGAR CANE.
Plant in drills three-quarters to one bushel; broadcast, 1 to 1% bushels to the acre. a Sorghum is being used extensively asa general food for cattle, horses and mules; it is a sure crop, being a great drought resister and an immense yielder, producing many tons of most nutritious green fodder to the acre. Specially fine for food for milch cows when pasture is short. Early Orange Cane.—A strong grower; much more juicy than any other variety. The stalk is heavier, and a little later than the Amber. Early Amber Cane.—This popular and well- known variety is the earliest, and makes the finest
quality of both sugar and syrup. FIELD GORN. Feld Korn.
Kaffir Corn.—Produces two to four heads from
a single stalk. Stands drought wonderfully, and yields paying crops of grain or forage, even in dry seasons when corn has utterly failed. The whole stalkj as well as blades makes excellent fodder, and/all stock eat it greedily. Sow in rows three feet apart, 5 lbs. per acre; broadcast, 15 lbs. per acre. Golden Beauty.—A large, broad grained yel- low corn, with ears of perfect shape and very small ‘cob. The richness of color and quality of the grain makes it a very superior variety. Ear well filled and very productive. Qt. 10c. Pk. 50c. Bu. $1.25. | / Hickory King.—A large, broad grained white corn, and undoubtedly the smallest cob of any white corn ever produced. Qt. 10c.

K The Myers ’ gp /mperial Brass Spray Pump.
This Spray Pump is constructed entirely of brass, a material that is not affected by the poisonous arsenites used in different formulas for spraying fruit trees, vines and shrubbery. It is so arranged that the labor of pumping is all done on the downward stroke of the piston and nothing on the up. The effect of this operation while pumping is to hold the pump down. The foot rest steadies the pump, holding it in the proper position. .
For spraying it is so arranged as to discharge a fine jet in the bottom of bucket to keep the solution thoroughly mixed and agitated, a feature peculiar to this pump only, and a very necessary feature to a spray pump. ,

The great merit of this Insecticide lies in its non-poisonous properties. No danger need be apprehended by the person applying it, nor will it injure animals, should they eat it—unless in large quantities. It does not render injurious the vege- tables or fruits to which it is applied, and yet it is probably the best Insect Destroyer that has ever been offered. It is particularly useful for the pre- vention and destruction of Potato Bugs and all Worms and Insects that infest our gardens.

GAPITAL CITY LAWN GRASS SEED.
Our mixture of Grass Seeds for Lawns, Parks, Tennis and Cricket grounds is composed of the finest varieties of grasses, each of which has its season of beauty, and the result of this blending is the producing of a sod thatis not only always evergreen and velvety in appearance, but of the color and beauty ofthe emerald.
Seeding is preferable to sodding, because it is cheaper, and will soon cover the earth with a luxuriant growth of thrifty grass and if fertilized spring and fall will last in- definitely.
Frequent mowing prevents natural seeding, which grasses annually supply in abundance to restore and thicken sod.
Hence, when the grass is injured by tramping or thinned by other cause, the best and most natural method to restore its beauty is to sow seed plentifully. Use two pounds of seed on a space 20x 40, or 800 square feet.
To prepare the ground for seeding Lawn grass, it should be plowed deeply, cross plowed, and the soil finely pulver- ized and enriched. Use fertilizer and avoid the danger of an importation of seeds, the growth of sorrel, weeds, etc., liable to be in barnyard manure.
These seeds should be covered very slightly and a roller tun over the ground after sowing. Pt. tcc. Qt. 20c. Lb. 25c. Pk.75¢c. Bu. (of 14 1b.) $2.50.
LAWN FERTILIZER.
Old and New Lawns Require Stimulating after the long drag through winter, or in the fall after the season of cutting and the heat of symmer. For this purpose our high grade bone meal is the best adapted to the wants of the lawn. It should be sown broadcast, from the middle of February to first of May for spring and from September to November in the fall. In preparing a new lawn use a liberal quantity ani rake it in thoroughly before sowing the seed. 16 lbs. enough for 250 squarefeet. 10 lbs. 30c. 100 lbs. $2.50.

(
Ss Z SSE <i
The only Disc Harrow made having a spring pressure device, which alone places it far in advance of any competitor. The greatest objection to all other disc harrows is the ‘“‘humping-up”’ in the center, caus- ing the outer discs to run deeper than the center ones with consequent uneven depth of work. This is all overcome on the Pitts by a pair of flexible steel springs running from the pole to the main axle, controlled by foot of driver.

The Imperial “U” Bar Lever Harrow. With }¢ In. and 5 In. Square Teeth.
The Imperial ‘‘U” Bar Lever Spike Tooth Harrow is made in a strictly first-class manner throughout. In construction, this Harrow has many advantages over those of other manufacturers. The frame of the Harrow is channel steel, of good weight and strength. The ‘‘U” Bars pass through the main frame of the Harrow, and are held in position by a malleable clamp. This construction gives great strength to the Harrow and at the same time allows flexibility. ach section is fitted with four steel runners, one attached to each corner, for transportation. These runners, when the Harrow is at work, are on top of the frame and do not obstruct. By throwing the lever forward the runners are thrown down in a position which carrries the entire Harrow off the ground.

The Belle City Fodder and Ensilage Cutter is acknowledged to be the King of Cutters, because its points of merit over all others are many. The first and a very important fact is, that this ma- chine requires one-third less power than any other, doing one-third more work in the same time. Second is the Safety Attachment, making all danger to the operator impossible. The Safety Attachment is a lever by which the operator can stop the feed rolls as quick as he can put his hand on same, also reverse the feed by this lever and set the feed rolls revolving backwards, cleaning the mouth of the cutter, should it become clogged, without using his hand in the operation. It is a first-class cutter.

. We have made numerous experiments on a saw as above shown, with balance wheel under the table, where it will be out of the way insawing poles. Our first efforts were not successful, but we now have a saw that does the work and is a success. Farmers and others who use saws can at once appreciate the great convenience of this machine. It has a swing table, which is the best style for cutting cord-wood and poles.
