CHINESE CABBAGE An Importation of Great Merit. Try It. The culture for Chinese Cabbage is the same as for Winter Cabbage. The seed should be sown in July or early August, and early in September the plants should be transplanted. They should be set one foot apart in the row and pushed down one and one-half inches in the ground. When well grown the plants should be blanched by tying closely with burlap. Any good soil is sufficient, but they seem to head up best on rich black adobe soil. This is an importation from China that is greatly relished by most Amer- icans. It was formerly only to be ob- tained from the Chinese gardener, but on account of the popular demand for it, is now grown by most of the progressive gardeners on the coast. It is cooked as greens, being tender and succulent and very delicious. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 1-quarter lb., $1.00.

Try it this sea- son and you will agree with us that it is one of the_best. “SENSATION” is a phenomenal cropper and one of the finest looking potatoes ever grown.

Beans require a light friable soil, with plenty of moisture, and they are sensitive to frost. They should not be sown earlier than April. In the garden the soil should be made mellow and rich, and all pole varieties should be provided with poles or a trellis on which to climb. For a garden crop plant string beans in a succession every four weeks throughout the season. Sow in rows 18 inches to 24 inches apart and cover them from one to two inches deep but not more.

Early Snow- ball is, moreover, a most desirable sort for the home garden. The plants are compact, with few, short, outside leaves and are well suited for close planting. The heads are of medium to large size, solid, compact, round, very white and curd-like and are developed earlier than those of any other sort. In our many comparative trials of samples from the best known growers and prominent seedsmen in Europe and America our stocks of Early Snowball have been unsurpassed by any in earliness. They also gave the highest percent- age of well formed heads.

LETTUCE Lettuce is represented by four distinct classes or types — by the thick-leaved, smooth-edged cab- bage-heading type; the curly and thin leaved, tight-heading, crisp type; the curly and thin-leaved bunch or non-heading type, and the Cos or celery type. There are early, medium early and late varie- ties of each type, as well as those especially adapted for greenhouse, hotbed, winter, spring, summer and autumn uses. There is so great a difference in localities in regard to the value of lettuce, that a uniform rule of culture cannot be adopted. For the ordinary house garden, it is desirable to use one variety of each type, and several plantings should be made to secure a succession. The seed should be planted in rows eighteen inches apart, as early as possible, and the young plants of cab- bage varieties should be thinned to 6 or 8 inches apart. Varieties that do not head may be left quite thick, and thinned out as used. See following page. When you have made out your seed order, please hand this catalog to your neighbor.

Page S3 Perhaps your neighbor hasn't a catalogue Give him this one when you’ve finished MUSHROOMS PARSNIPS LAMBERT’S MUSHROOM SPAWN. The white thread-like substance seen permeating the brick or tablet in which Mushroom Spawn is sold is called Mycelium. The edible part of the Mushroom is analogous to the flower in other plants. The spawn as sold is in a dormant condition, growth being suspended by withholding moisture. The task for the grower is to cause it to revive and resume growth. This is accom- plished by placing the spawn in prepared beds of fresh horse manure and soil, which may be made in a shed, cellar, or under greenhouse benches. Next to proper preparation the most important thing is to maintain a uniform and moist air temperature of 50 to 60 degrees. Full directions given in pamphlet, free if asked for. Lambert’s Pure Culture Spawn, always fresh, full de- scription as to how to plant, upon request. 25c per brick; 5 for $1.00, not postpaid. About 8 pounds to plant an acre. The seed is very slow to germinate and should be sown early in the spring in rows 18 inches apart for hand cultivation, or 30 inches apart for horse cultivation. Thin out to 6 inches in the row.

We have been at great pains, therefore, to get a true, strong strain of Early Rose grown in the far North, for our stock, and we can offer it as the purest and best that can be had. Early Rose will never go out of fashion as long as the original stock can be obtained. Lb., Sc; 25 lbs., $1.25; 100 lbs., $3.50. Sensation. See Specials. Gold Com. See Specials.

They may be sent by mail, and we guarantee that they will arrive in good condition. ASPARAGUS CULTIVATION See that the ground is well drained, work it up fine and deep and make it very rich with fertil- izer or barnyard manure. Place the plants eight inches apart in rows three feet apart. Spread out the roots in a trench made deep enough to permit their crowns to be covered with three or four Inches of mellow earth. Give the bed liberal dressings of fertilizer at intervals, and, except near the sets, three pounds of salt per square yard early every spring. Do not cut for use until the plants have grown two seasons. ASPARAGUS PLANTS Two-year-old Plants, postpaid, 35c per dozen; $1.00 per 50; $1.50 per 100. By express or freight, 25c dozen; 75c per 50; $1.00*per 100; $8.00 per 1,000. CABBAGE PLANTS Set out in open ground as soon in spring as the land can be properly prepared. A rich, warm, fibrous loam is best. Have the plants in the rows 20 to 2 4 inches apart, and rows at least 2 feet apart. Give thorough cultivation, and irrigate in dry weather if practicable. Protect against the ravages of cutworm, maggot and green worm. A little nitrate of soda applied around the plant is of great benefit. Potash applications, such as wood ashes or muriate, may also do much good. For late Cabbage plants, transplant in June and July, giving the plants more room than allowed for earli- est Cabbages. Dusting with tobacco dust, insect powder, etc., or splashing with hot soapsuds, espe- cially Whale-Oil Soap solution, are good and safe remedies for some of the insect pests attacking plants of the Cabbage. We carry both the early and late varieties in season. Dozen, 15c; 100, 75c, postpaid. We are pre- pared to make special price on quantities over 1,000 to 10,000.

Soil to be a warm, very rich, fibrous loam, well supplied with humus and moisture. Copious water applications during dry weather, especially when the plants are heading, and light dressings of nitrate of soda and potash are of much help. Set plants 2 to 2 1 / £ feet apart each way. When heads are formed and are hard, they should be blanched by drawing the leaves together and tying with raphia, or strips of soft cloth. Doz., 30c; 100, $1.25, postpaid. Doz., 20c; 100, $1.00: 1,000, $8.00, express or freight. We are pre- pared to make special prices on quantities over 1,0 00 to 10,000. It has been demonstrated that CASCO will save at least 50% of your cabbage, kale or cauliflower plants. Also will save your onions, turnips and rutabagas. CELERY PLANTS In May to June, set the plants in very rich and well-prepared land, 6 inches apart in the rows, and rows 3 to 4 feet apart. Give thorough and clean cultivation, and blanch by means of boards set up against the rows. For later and winter Celery the rows in which the plants are set should be 4 to 5 feet apart. Blanch by earthing up gradually clear to within a few inches of tip of leaves. For winter storage, take up the plants with roots, and place upright on wet soil in a dark cellar or root-house, packing closely.

They are grown for the young leaves which are produced freely early in the spring and give a mild onion flavor to sausages, salads and various dishes. The tops can be shorn off close to the ground as needed. They can be grown also in pots in a sunny window during winter. Bunch, 20c, by mail, post- paid. HORSE-RADISH SETS Horse-radish is always in demand in winter and spring. The culture is by sets or root cuttings, as it seldom seeds. These sets are planted in rows or furrows 2 to 3 feet apart and 15 to 18 inches apart in the rows. The sets should be placed in a perpendicular position, with crown 3 to 6 inches below surface. Horse-radish delights in a deep, rich soil. It makes large top growth, giving weeds small chance. Doz., 40c; 100, $1.50, postpaid. PEPPER PLANTS Set in open ground in warm, very rich and well-prepared soil, making the rows 2 to 3 feet apart, with plants 15 to 18 inches apart in the rows.

J Our experieneo is at your service — Write us VEGETABLE PLANTS AND ROOTS — Contd RHUBARB ROOTS This splendid old time plant, which seems to be the Missing Link between fruits and vegetables, and which did such valiant service in the early days as a pie-filler, is again coming into a well- deserved popularity, because of the many new uses that have been found for it. Its fine medicinal properties make it most wholesome, and it is not only welcomed by the house- wife in the early spring, but is now used in combination with other fruits, such as pineapple, figs, etc., to make the most delicious Jams and preserves and also a great variety of puddings and desserts. This, of course, gives it a ready sale at good prices and makes it one of the best staples of the market gardener.

They may be shipped by mail and we guarantee good delivery. For early varieties set plants 4 feet apart each way in warm, mellow soil of fair fertility as soon as danger from belated frost is past. For main crop plant in fairly warm soil, 5 feet apart each way. A very ornamental show can be made in the home garden by training tomato plants to stakes, poles or trellis. Applications of super- phosphate, or of some good complete (vegetable) fertilizer often have a very happy effect on To- matoes in hastening maturity and increasing the yield.

PURE We take great pride in recommending our SUPERIOR ALFALFA SEED to the Western farmer. Realizing its immense value and im- portance as a fodder crop in this section, we have given it our closest attention, sparing no effort to produce a seed that should be full and plump, and cleaning and recleaning it until it is as free from all noxious weed seed as human care can make It. We are not satisfied to come within the Pure Seed Law by furnishing you a seed that is 96% pure, giving you a 4 % crop of weeds that it is almost an impossibility to get rid of, but insist that our seed shall be 99%% pure and that it should consist of only plump, productive seeds, all shrunken seeds having been removed. IT STANDS THE HIGHEST GERMINATION TESTS. This is the only grade of Alfalfa Seed that we handle and you cannot afford to sow any other kind. OUR SUPERIOR ALFALFA in less than sack lots, per lb., 30c; per 100 lbs., $22.50. TURKESTAN IMPORTED DRY LAND ALFALFA We make direct importations of this variety which comes from Central Asia and which is adapted to dry, unirrigated land. We suggest that it be seeded a little heavier than the ordi- nary type, as it is inclined to become coarse and woody; and thick sowing will produce finer plants. We can supply this in original package, or in smaller quantities. Lb., 30c; 10 lbs., $2.75; 100 lbs., $25.00. ALSIKE CLOVER 98 PER CENT PURE A Clover for Cold, Wet Land This variety is sometimes called Swedish Clover and is a perennial, 1 to 3 feet high, succeeding best in cold stiff soils, and in marshy lands which are too wet for other species. It grows well in the far north and in high altitudes and can with- stand severe cold. The blossoms are valuable in bee culture. Since it matures in the same length of time required for Timothy, they may be planted together with excellent results, and it is also good in pasture mixtures for wet land. When used alone, sow 15 lbs. to the acre. OUR BEST ALSIKE in less than 10-lb. lots, per lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.00. MAMMOTH RED CLOVER This variety has a very rank growth and is not much used for hay or forage but makes an ex- cellent green manure when plowed under. In habit it is similar to the Common Red Clover except that it lasts longer. Per lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.00. WHITE SWEET CLOVER OR BOKHARA The value of this clover is now being recog- nized not only for its use in bee culture but also for pasture, forage and hay. It has a prolific growth, sometimes attaining a height of five feet, and seed sown in the spring will produce a crop the following fall and two or three crops the following year. It is a biennial but readily re- seeds itself. It is covered with small white flow- ers of great fragrance. Per lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.00. INOCULATE THIS SEED WITH BOOKLET MAILED TREE YELLOW SWEET CLOVER OR BOKHARA This is an annual that is much used for plow- ing under as a fertilizer for alfalfa, but should be plowed under before it is allowed to seed. It will yield a good crop wherever planted and is one of the best crops known for this purpose, as it is nitrogen giving. It is much like the White Sweet Clover but has yellowish blossoms. Verv valuable as a bee pasture. Per lb., 30c; 10 lbs., $2.50. WHITE CLOVER 97 to 98% pure Dwarf spreading variety, used especially for the making of fine lawns. None but the choice grade of seed should be used. The habits of white clover make it quite necessary that it be used in lawn seed. We have only the best grade and use no other in any seed we sell. Per lb., 75c; 10 lbs., $6.00. CRIMSON CLOVER Crimson Clover is an annual, useful principally as a cover crop or to plow under for green manure. It is grown quite extensively in the south, but it is not specially recommended for the North- west, as wo have other crops which are better adapted to this locality. Twelve to twenty pounds of seed is sown to the acre. Per lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.25. 99 PER CENT RED CLOVER Recleaned and Tested. PURE Free from Dodder. (Trifolium. Pratense) We wish to impress upon the Western farmer the advantage in sowing this valuable crop, espe- cially in such sections as are not favorable to the successful raising of alfalfa. It is for most purposes as valuable as Alfalfa and is a more dependable crop in many localities west of the Cascades. It is equally good for hay, silage or forage and has no superior when plowed under as a nitrogen-giving fertilizer. When sowed under with Timothy it makes an especially satis- factory hay crop. It yields two crops of hay in a season and requires a rich, deep soil. Since the value of this crop is greatly dependent on its freedom from noxious weeds the purity of the seed used is of the greatest consequence and we do not hesitate to say that we have, absolutely the best Red Clover Seed on the market. It is 99% pure, that being a 7% higher test than is re- quired by the Pure Seed Daw and the highest human skill can attain, and is only made possible by the most painstaking effort and the most improved cleaning machinery. The initial cost of this seed is but little more than the ordinary weed-mixed grade, and the dif- ference in true marketable value is so great that there can be no comparison as to which it pays to sow. AABLING-BOTCE SUPERIOR RED CLOVER SEED, per lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.25; 100 lbs., $30.00. We do not pay express or freight charges on Clover or Grass Seeds.

Page 37 These varieties have found favor wherever tried ^ABUNG^gOYCE] “Nitragin” on your peas It doubles your crop It \4n W r K LAWN MAKING The soil should be spaded deep and well prepared. It should not be too rich, as a rapid growth is not wanted in grasses of a lawn, but the surface should be as much alike as possible. Sow the seed in two directions, then roll and cross roll in order to press the seed firmly into the soil. In about 10 days apply a light application of Aabling’s Lawn Fertilizer mixed with an equal part of good loam. This will serve to stimulate the young grasses. The best time for this is just before a rain, so that the fertilizer will be washed into the roots of the grass. We are often asked when is the “best” time to plant a lawn. We know that from the middle of March until the end of June is the best time or the best lawn can be obtained with the least trouble and with less danger of a failure. Although we sell large quantities of grass seed all through the summer months but advise people they must be more careful in planting and water- ing. The fall is a good time but great care should be taken so that your ground will be clear of weeds. Do not plant between November 15 and March 1st, as the ground is cold and seeds liable to decay. ROLLING. Roll frequently, especially in the spring, as the winter frosts loosen the soil and rolling is necessary to compress it again. MOWING. Mow often, as it tends to improve the roots and the fineness of the texture. Be careful in the summer time, as the roots require a covering during hot summer months. Follow these directions and use our Superior Lawn Mixture and Superior Lawn Fertilizer and you will have your lawn talked about. All Clover, Grass and Field Seeds are F. O. B. Seattle.

Page 41 Improve your ground with our fertilizers j^ABD^O^OYCE] We’ll help you make your seleotions We know these varieties are good TREATMENT OF FLOWER SEED There are no more satisfactory flowers than those grown from seed, especially the easily grown and brilliant flowered annuals. The beautiful shrubs and lilies, of course, have their place, oat are far more expensive than a paper of seed which will furnish a large number of plants with usually enough for one's garden and some to spare. Aim to have your garden one artistic unit, with some flowers in bloom at all seasons, with colors which harmonize, and plants in size grading from the dwarf borders, to the bedding annuals, and then to the taller plants, which usually should stand next to the house or other confines of the garden or lawn. A garden carefully thought out and planted gives very much more pleasure than a hap- hazard one. A nerfect garden could not be made from seed alone; the grounds must have some shrubbery for its permanent character. We have a nursery department, which supplies every need for private grounds of all dimensions ; see our list of trees and shrubs in the succeeding pages of this gulda On tlie other hand no garden would he pretty or satisfactory which did not have a good number ox flowers from our flower seed list most carefully chosen and placed in the garden. WHEN TO PLANT FLOWER SEED Perhaps you have noticed that many of the descriptions of flowers contain the words “annual,” “hardy annual,” “tender annual,” “perennial,” “tender perennial,” etc. These may have seemed to you tiresome descriptions, but properly understood they tell much about planting. HAZ.P HARDY means the plant will stand any light frost, but needs protection against very cold weather. These should be planted in the spring (March and April), not in the fall. HARDY means the plant will stand considerable frost, or practically all we have on the Pacific Coast. These may be planted in the fall or in the spring (October to May). If sown in the fall they will come into bloom earlier than if sown in spring, even if the plants do not make much progress dU1 AhWtjals are plants that bloom the first year from seed, and the plant dies after one season. Tender annuals must be sown in spring (April to June) and hardy annuals may be sown in either spring or fall (October to May). ....... .. „ - BIENNIALS are plants that bloom the second year from seed, and the plant dies after the second year. On the Coast many of these will bloom the first year if sown early. Sow under same conditions sls perennials PERENlilALS are plants that bloom the second year from seed, and the plant lives and blooms during successive years. If sown in early spring (February to April 15) many perennials will bloom the first year from seed. Tender and half-hardy perennials are best sown in spring after frost is over (April 15 to June). Hardy perennials are best sown in the late summer and early fall (July to October) for next year’s flowers. HOW TO SOW FLOWER SEEDS The success from sowing seeds depends upon three things, the right amount of water, of air, and of heat, which means practically have your soil right as to moisture and texture, your seed sown at a proper depth and where the sunshine can furnish the heat. Soil that is hard and going to bake is not right to start seeds in. Take such soil in the fall and spade in manure or leaf mould and let it rot for several months and then work up fine. In the spring add to a heavy soil, that is clayey, soil peat or decayed leaf mould, and sand (sharp, fresh-water sand), so that there is one-third loam, one-third sand, and one-third leaf mould. This makes an excellent soil for starting fine seeds. For potting add a small amount of old sheep or cow manure. SEED IN THE OPEN Seeds of hardy annuals are sown directly in the bed where they are to remain, or they may be sown in boxes and transplanted. Have the ground well worked up and mixed with leaf mould, if needed. The soil should be well moistened, not wet and soggy, and not, by any means, dry when the seeds are sown. Put all medium-sized seeds at a depth of one-quarter to one-half inch. Sweet Peas should go deeper. Very fine seeds should be pressed into the soil and a little sand sifted over them. Water more frequently if the seed is close to the surface, and if necessary protect with cheese- cloth while watering. Always press or fire the soil after sowing any seed. These seed are best sown in the open so as not to be transplanted, Eschscholtzia, Nasturtium, Poppy, also very many others, may be profitably so sown. , .. .. . If the seed be sown directly in the garden, it should be sown in the spring after the soil is well worked and when in moist condition. A slight depression should be made with a stick, the seed sown, and then covered with sandy loam about twice the depth of the diameter of the seed. The seed will prevent the crusting over of the soil after watering. . .. When up, the plants must be thinned from two to twelve inches, depending on the variety, other- wise they will be weak and spindling. It is a common mistake in the garden to leave plants alto- gether too thick. Always keep the weeds out. SEEDS IN_ BOXES Always use care in getting a good loam as described. Use no manure in any seed box. Boxes 4 Inches deep and 18x24 inches is the usual size. See that the good drainage is provided by boring holes in the bottom, fill with the fine prepared soil which should be moist, but not wet enough to stick to- gether when squeezed with the hand. Sow the seed about one-quarter inch deep except fine seeds. Water, so as to keep the soil always just moist. Water carefully and regularly. A pane of glass over the box adds more heat, protects from draughts, prevents drying out, and is not necessary except for difficult seeds. Thfe box should be in the sunlight. When the plants are in third or fourth leaf they should be picked out and reset in another box with plenty of room, for it is important that the plant be of good size, strong and sturdy, when finally transplanted in the garden. Another mistake in sowing flower, as well as other seed, is covering too deep. As a general rule, cover only to the depth of the thickness of the seeds; or, with medium-sized seeds, like Balsams, Zin- nias, etc., one-quarter to one-half inch is the proper depth. Such fine seeds as Portulacas, Nicotiana, etc., need only to be pressed into the soil with a piece of board or the palm of the hand. Always press the earth down firmly after sowing all flower seeds, else there is danger of their drying up before the roots can get firm hold of the soil. Seeds of the hardier annuals may be sown where they are to grow; but, often, it is preferable to transplant. When the seedlings are first set out they should be watered frequently and should be protected from too much sunlight and from heavy rains. Provide some support from all such annuals as require it.

For outdoor bedding seeds should be sown in boxes very early and covered with glass, then transplanted. PANSIES are favorites with all, but for best re- sults you must start with the good strains. PANSY SEED germinates and the plants grow more freely in the cool, early days of spring, and for summer blooming should be sown by the later part of April, or early May. A soil containing a portion of leaf mould, well enriched with well- decayed cow manure, will be the most satisfac- tory for the growing of this flower, and it should be well dug and made fine and level.

Packet contains enough seed to be assured of 100 plants. Sold only in 25c packets. Try one. Our stock of Pansy seed, especially of this variety, is the finest to be had in all of Europe. The flowers have been known to measure up to 4 inches across and invariably run between 2 and 3 inches. Healthy, robust plants producing flow- ers on extra long stems, which have elegantly waved or curled petals, giving the flower a dis- tinctly refined appearance. The seed comes in mixed colors, with a greater portion of the blotched varieties. There is no finer quality of pansies in existence than we are offering and we defy competition. Pansies delight in semi-shaded, cool locations, and they must be kept supplied with moisture during the hot months of the year.

POPPIES Annual Poppies should be sown as early in the spring as possible where they are to remain, as they do not stand transplanting. Sow very thinly, preferably in cloudy weather or after a shower, barely cover the seed, press down firmly, and they will come up in a few days. If they come up too thickly they must be thinned out to stand 3 to 4 inches or more apart if you wish best results. It is well to make several sowings at intervals to keep up a succession of bloom. If picked just before expanding the flowers will last several days. It is also advisable to pick the old flowers as soon as fallen, which will lengthen the bloom- ing season quite awhile. PHLOX CULTURE. Sow out of doors when all danger of frost is over, in the bed where they are to flower. Cover to a depth of about Vz inch and press the earth down firmly. Thin out so that plants will not be crowded. SINGLE ANNUAL POPPIES ADMIRAL.

The plants disappear during July or August, ap- pearing again as soon as the weather gets cool. When this fall growth starts is the time they should be transplanted to their permanent flow- ering quarters. It is well to mark the places they are planted with a stake to insure the roots against disturbance during their annual resting period.

Deep spading or plowing is very essential for the roots love to penetrate into the cooler regions of the soil. Manure placed very deep will help to draw the roots downward. Sweet peas love sun, therefore they should always be planted where they are exposed to the sun all day. SOW SEEDS EABL7. Sweet peas will produce their strongest roots during the cool, moist months of the spring, so that the sowing should take place as soon as the land can be worked. A little frost wall do no harm to sweet peas. The old-fashioned method of sowing seeds in a trench eight inches deep and to cover them later is obsolete. After the soil has been carefully smoothed and raked, draw a line for a straight row and sow three seeds every six inches in the row. Do not cover the seed more than with one-half inch of soil, and if more than one plant should appear in each spot, care- fullv destroy all but the strongest specimen, so that one plant show’s every six inches in the row. Two ounces of seed is sufficient to sow a single row of 100 feet. Sweet peas grown thus will produce stems and foliage of unusual strength and vigor, and as each plant branches freely from the bottom, the entire row will soon be a mass of foliage, more dense even than under the old-fashioned method of sow- ing thick. Other up-to-date dealers will suggest that you sow thick and afterward thin out, but it is utterly impossible to do this satisfactorily, and it con- stitutes an extravagant waste of seeds and conse- quently a waste of money. The flowers produced from plants grown as suggested by us are fit for the queen’s garden, and will be a revelation to all who try this up-to-date method. Notwithstanding the smaller number of plants existing in a row, when our suggestions are fol- lowed, we can positively assure our patrons that they will be able to pick more flowers. WATERING Sw’eet peas must be constantly supplied with moisture to do well, and we suggest the follow- ing: On either side of the row of sweet peas (six inches away from the plant) dig a trench 3ix inches deep and fill same with well decayed stable manure. Let the hose run into the trenches long enough to fill them up complete at least once a day and your sweet peas will never suffer. GIANT WAVED SPENCERS MIRED GIANT SPENCER SWEET PEAS.

WATER LILIES HARDY NYPHAE The Water Garden is an important feature in garden and landscape effects. The great diversity in size, color and other features among the Water Lilies gives the Water Gardening a peculiar fasci- nation, interest and charm. A Water Garden may be enjoyed in a sunny back yard as well as in large gardens or preten- tious grounds. Where stagnant pools exist it becomes a hygienic necessity to stock same with plants and flsh, for, when properly balanced with plant and animal life, the water becomes, and will remain, pure and sweet, and in place of a mos- quito and malaria-breeding pool we have a beau- tiful and delightful aquatic garden. We have these in white, pink, red and yellow and offer extra fine roots, acclimated to this cli- mate at 35c and 50c each. (Cannot ship before the middle of April). GLADIOLUS These flowers of enchantment have, within the last few years, attained a popularity that is not to be wondered at when one considers the almost unrivalled success that has attended the efforts made for improving them both in size and in the variety of colorings, which now range from the daintiest pastel shades to the richest and most gorgeous colorings. In their stateliness and beauty these wonder flowers are in a class by themselves and the easiness of their culture should give them a place in every garden. AMERICA.

AMERICA Page 66 L OCATION OF BEDS — Roses should be planted where they will be open to sunlight for at least half of each day. In locating beds, avoid trees, shrubbery and shady sides of build- ings and fences. This will lessen the danger from insects and diseases. SOIL — Any good garden soil, which will grow good vegetables, will grow, with proper fer- tilization, fine Roses. The ideal soil is a clay loam of sufficient porosity to permit of ready drainage. PREPARATION OF BEDS — The beds should not be so large that the Roses cannot be reached without treading on them. Long, narrow beds, with one continuous row of plants, are preferable. Spade the soil to a good depth, mixing in good fertilizer as you do so, and the richer the fertilizer the better results you will have. We manufacture a special rose fertilizer. Whale- bone meal is excellent. PLANTING — Most varieties should be planted about 2% feet apart, when the soil is in a nice, mellow condition. Spread the roots out well and press the soil down firmly. Plant slightly deeper than previously grown and give out good watering if weather is warm and dry. WATERING — Most people water their Roses too much. Once a week is often enough and that early in the morning. Keep the soil mulched or cultivated around the bushes to prevent baking. MULCHING AND PROTECTION — Only the tenderest varieties need any protection in this country. This can best be supplied by mulching the soil around the plants with a heavy appli- cation of cow manure, which should be spaded in the following spring. All plants should have this mulching. PRUNING — Field-grown dormant Roses should be cut back severely when first set out. Sub- sequent prunings should be attended to in late winter and early spring, when all dead and weak growth should be removed entirely and the strong, live canes should be shortened back to one or two feet in length, according to the growth of the previous season. It may be accepted as a gen- eral rule that weak growth should be pruned severely and strong ones sparingly. Climbing Roses should not be cut back any more than is necessary to keep the plant in a shapely appearance. BEST TIME FOR PLANTING — No question is asked more frequently than, “When is the best time to plant Roses?” Our dormant field-grown Roses can be planted any time that the soil can be worked, between October and April. Probably the best month is March. Most people plant in that month and with best results. Our small greenhouse-grown Roses should not be planted until a month later, when the soil has warmed up with the increasing strength of the sun’s rays.

J1 We like to know the results obtained from our seeds CLIMBING ROSES Of all the plants which Nature gives to man, perhaps there are none that add more to the grace and beauty of the house and garden than the Climbers. How many an ugly wall and unsightly building has been made attractive by a quick-growing flow- ering vine, and stately gardens made into veritable places of enchantment by Wisteria and Jasmine covered arbors and pergolas? Much more artistic to the beauty-loving eye is the little Rose-covered cottage than the cold, for- bidding “stone front” unadorned and unbeautiful. They are the joy of the landscape gardener and the merest amateur alike and it is impossible to obtain anything but a graceful effect with them, for they will arrange themselves, if not other- wise disposed of, wherever they are placed, and the result is invariably a bower of luxuriant beauty.

Page 78 Our Nursery Trees Are Seleoted Stook Guaranteed True to Name FRUIT TREES, SMALL FRUITS, GRAPEVINES, STRAWBERRIES, ETC. Do you know the secret of growing big crops of large, luscious fruit? To be successful you must, above all things, start right. Get large, strong, healthy, standard-sized stock. This applies to small fruits, just as much as it does to Apple, Cherry, Peach, Pear, Plum Trees, etc. Our principal stocks of fruit trees, small fruits, etc., embrace only those varieties which have been well proved, and can be recommended as the best now in cultivation. We cannot attempt to give complete direc- tions on all points connected with tree planting, but simply a few hints on the more important opera- tions. Transplanting to be considered under the following heads: BUERRE DE ANJOU FEAR THE PREPARATION OF THE SOIL For fruit trees soil should be dry, either natural or made so by thorough drainage, as they will not live or thrive on a soil constantly saturated with stagnant moisture. It should also be well pre- pared On new, fresh lands, manuring will be unnecessary, but on land exhausted by cropping fer- tilizers must be applied, either by turning in heavy crops of clover, or well decomposed manure or com- post. To insure a good growth of fruit trees, land should be in as good condition as for a crop of wheat, corn or potatoes. THE PREPARATION OF THE TREES In regard to this important operation, there are more fatal errors committed than in any other. As a general thing trees are planted in the ground precisely as they are sent from the nursery. In. moving a tree, no matter how carefully it may be done, a portion of the roots are broken and destroyed, and consequently the balance that existed in the structure of the tree deranged. This must be restored by proper pruning, adapted to the size, form and condition of the tree as follows: STANDARD ORCHARD TREES These, as sent from the nursery, vary from 4 to 6 feet in height, with naked stems or trunks and a number of branches at the top forming a head. These branches should all be cut back to within three or four buds of their base. This lessens the demand upon the roots, and enables the remaining buds to push with vigor. Cut off smoothly all bruised or broken roots up to the sound wood. In case of older trees of extra size, the pruning must be in proportion; as a general thing it will be safe to shorten all the previous year's shoots to three or four buds at their base, and where the branches are very numerous some may be cut entirely. STAKING. If trees are tall and much exposed to the wind, a stake should be planted with the tree to which it should be tied in such a manner as to avoid chafing. A piece of matting or cloth may be put between the tree and the stake. MULCHING. When the tree is planted, throw around it as far as the roots extend, and a foot beyond, five or six inches deep, rough manure or litter. This is particularly necessary in dry ground, and is highly advantageous everywhere, both In spring and fall planting. It prevents the ground from baking or cracking, and maintains an equal temperature about the roots. AFTER-CULTURE. The grass should not be allowed to grow around young trees after being planted, as it stunts their growth. The ground should be kept loose and clean around them until, at least, they are of bearing size.

Page 83 Perhaps your neighbor hasn’t a catalogue Give him this one when you’ve finished STRAWBERRY PLANTS CULTIVATION. When the plants begin to spread and the roots to extend, care should be taken that the roots be not injured by the cultivator, and our plan is to shorten the cultivator teeth that run next the plants by about two inches. When thus shortened the teeth will go sufficiently deep to break the crust near the plants without danger of cutting the roots of the plants. About two times a month we run the five-tooth cultivator through the center of the space between the rows, stirring the soil to a depth of four or five inches. This loosens up the soil where the horse has tramped it down when doing the shallow cultivation. One very important practice you should adopt whether your last cultivation be early or late; be sure before stopping the work to make a furrow four or five inches deep down the center of the space between the rows of plants, so that all surplus water from rains or melting snows may have immediate outlet. This will prevent its settling about the crowns.

Bright red and of exceptionally fine flavor; an excellent berry for canning and a good shipper, it is rapidly becoming the most popular Strawberry. FALL-FRUITING STRAWBERRY While they will produce fruit at the same season as the ordinary strawberries and keep on bear- ing until frost, yet to get the best results the blossoms should be kept cut oft until August 1st so as to conserve the energies of the plants for the fall crop. Treated in that way ripe fruit will be borne in about three weeks after that date and continuously until frost. One grower by that method gath- ered nearly 400 quarts from 500 plants set out in the spring; a splendid demonstration of their pro- ductive power. The quality is superb, the size is good, but not up to the late June berries, because of the season at which they are borne. The plants must not be allowed to suffer for water in the fruit- ing season and a mulch will be found to be of great advantage. High cultivation is essential for the best results in all crops and in growing these strawberries a little extra attention will pay well. There is no more trouble to grow them than the ordinary strawberries, but they have to be attended to in proper season. PROGRESSIVE. A splendid grower, healthy and hardy, very productive. The plant is of medium size, the blossom strongly staminate and very resistant to heat. Both blossoms and fruit are well pro- tected by the strong, healthy foliage. The fruit is rich and sweet; a deep red inside and out; of good medium size with a slight neck and quite firm. Plants set in August and September fruit the next spring and on the new runners from July until frost. Spring set plants fruit the same year they are set out. SUPERB. One of the best and most profitable of the fall bearing sorts, also yielding good crops in June, on the same plants that produced fruit the previous fall. Plants are strong and stand the winter well after producing a heavy crop of fruit from about August 15 until November 15, according to season. Fruit is very large, round, rich, dark colored, glossy, attractive and smooth. Bach berry is of good shape and ripens all over at once.

HIGH GRADE FERTILIZERS AND LAWN DRESSINGS These fertilizers contain in a concentrated form the necessary proportions that different plants re- quire to produce fine flowers and vegetables. By adding what the ground needs, you are assured of fine results, and your labor and expenditures are repaid several times over. Different flowers and vegetables require different fertilizers. If our list does not mention your requirements we will be pleased to advise you fully. Owing to the fact that it is impossible to obtain potash in any form, we are increasing the amount of nitrate and phos- phate, thus helping out the part which is wanting. SUPERIOR LAWN AND ROSE FERTILIZER The constant mowing of the lawn and removing of the cuttings removes large quantities of the nourishment of the soil. This has to be replaced. If you desire the lawn to have the rich green col- oring and assure yourself of a lawn the year around our Superior Lawn Fertilizer should be used at least once a year. It should be scattered broadcast during the early spring, to obtain the best results, although it can be used during the fall or winter. About 50 lbs. to 1,000 square feet. It is odorless and there is no possibility of putting weed seed into your lawn. VERY QUICK ACTING. TESTED BY THE STATE CHEMIST.

Decomposes slowly in the soil and is there- fore an excellent permanent fertilizer. Fine for top dressing on lawns on account of its lasting qualities. Five pounds placed whole before plant- ing rose bushes will produce great results. Our bone meal is made from fresh bones, and has not lost any of its value. The quantity to use depends entirely upon the purpose for which it is used. Light applications are beneficial, but for perma- nent work, such as forming soil for lawns, rose beds, etc., it should be used in very large quanti- ties, the more the better. 5-lb. pkg., 35c; 25 lbs., $1.35; 100-lb. sack, $4.00. WHALE FERTILIZER ALASKA WHALE FERTILIZES. (Nitrogen 8.96%, Phosphoric Acid 28.23%.) A balanced fer- tilizer especially adapted for vegetable and flower gardens. It is made from the entire carcass of the Alaska whale after the oil has been extracted and is far superior to any other fish fertilizer. It produces wonderful results when used in the orchard or around berry bushes. From 6 to 10 pounds applied to a bearing fruit trees is suffi- cient and the results produced are marvelous. 10-lb. sack, 75c; 25-lb. sack, $1.50; 100-lb. sack, $4.50. | BLOOD AND BONE BLOOD AND BOND. (Nitrogren 4%, Phosphoric Acid 12%.) Is quick acting and on account of its richness in nitrogen and phosphate is a very de- sirable fertilizer. Best used around roses just before exhibition time. An animal fertilizer, rich in nitrogen and phosphoric acid, and having addi- tional value on account of a certain warmth and vitality which it imparts to the soil. It is a quick acting fertilizer, and for that reason it is for some purposes more valuable than bone meal, al- though the effect is not so lasting. It should not be applied a great length of time before the seed is planted, and may be used as a top-dressing. It is usually applied at the rate of 500 to 1,000 lbs. per acre. 100 lbs., $4.00. NITRATE OF SODA NITRATE OP SODA. (Nitrogen 13%.) Con- tains 13% or more of nitrogen in quickly available form, and is generally used as a top-dressing. It is seldom advisable to apply it on the soil before the seed is sown, for the reason that all the bene- fits will be had from it within two or three weeks, and if the plants are not ready to make use of all the plant food some of it will be lost. It is best applied in several light applications of about 150 lbs. each per acre, at intervals of two or three weeks, during the early growing sea- son. If applied too late, the plants will continue to grow foliage, and maturity will be retarded. It is used for forcing such crops as lettuce, celery, radishes, etc., requiring a quick growth, and pro- duces wonderful results. 100 lbs., $6.00. ROCK PHOSPHATE GROUND ROCK PHOSPHATE. Raw phosphate rock finely ground. It is slower acting than super- phosphate, and is recommended by many manu- facturers as the most economical form of phos- phoric acid. 100 lbs., $1.50. On account of the war we are unable to supply any potash as the supply all comes from Europe, and it is impossible to ship any in at this time. SUPERPHOSPHATE SUPERPHOSPHATE. (Guaranteed analysis Phosphoric Acid 17%.) This is what is known as Acid Phosphate, being phosphate rock treated with acid to make the phosphoric acid available. While the phosphoric acid in this is not so valuable as that in bone meal, it is more quickly available, and in some cases more useful. Superphosphate is recommended as a top-dress- ing for grass lands and for grain. It is generally used at the rate of 500 to 1,000 lbs. per acre. 100 lbs., $1.75. Page 85 Send in your order early We’re bound to be rushed later Fertilizer is necessary Even a little helps FERTILIZERS GROUND LIME ROCK (Ground to 100 mesh fine). (90% Calcium Carbonate). Especially prepared for use on tile lawn and garden. Based on chemical analysis, it may safely be said that practically all the soil in the Puget Sound district is in need of lime. Different sections require different amounts, but from wide experiments it has been shown that practically all the land needs at least 2,000 pounds per acre. This applies to gardens and farms; for lawns a fair applica- tion is 100 pounds to 2,000 square feet. After wide experiments it has been found that the Lime Rock is much superior to other forms of lime, as it is not caustic and will not destroy the humus in the soil. It can be applied to a growing crop without any chance of injury. 5-lb. pkg. $0.25 100-lb. sack 1.00 2,000-lb. sack 10.00 This price is for delivery any place in the city and to docks and depots. HYDRATED LIME Many prefer Hydrated Lime to Lime Rock, claiming that it acts sooner in liberating plant food for consumption. Hydrated Lime is ground as fine as flour, rendering it available as soon as applied. Hydrated Lime is especially valuable for lawns, as it not only sweetens the soil, unlocks valuable plant food, but kills out weeds and moss without injuring the grass in the least, giving your lawn that rich green color so much desired. It will give deeper color to roses and other flowers and more strength to resist the hot rays of the sun. Applied to the garden it will increase the yield 25% and will improve the quality of the vegetables. It is also very beneficial to fruit trees, in- creasing the growth and improving the quality of the fruit. Hydrated Lime can be used on the Lawn the same as Lime Rock, but must be used with more caution on the garden, as too strong an application might destroy the humus to some extent. For lawns, use 100 lbs. to 2,000 sq. ft. 100 lbs., $1.35. BRIEF POINTS ON LIMING. 1. The differ- ent forms of lime contain different amounts of calcium. 2. To improve a poor, acid soil, plow under manure, apply lime and disc in, and grow le- gume crops in the rotation as much as possible. 3. Lime corrects acidity, but rarely acts as a true fertilizer. 4. Use burnt lime with caution. 5. Ground limestone and thoroughly air- slacked lime are not injurious to soils or crops. 6. Lime is not a “cure-all” for every soil ailment. Lime will not take the place of manure or commercial fertilizers, nor will manure or com- mercial fertilizers take the place of lime. NITROGEN is the most im- portant and ex- ? ensive plant ood. The air is four -fifths ni- trogen — the soil is full of air — but plants can- n o t absorb it without the aid of the nitrogen gathering bac- teria.

SPRAYS INSECTICIDES AND REMEDIES FOR FUNGUS Most of the following articles being poisonous, cannot be shipped by mail: ARSENATE OF LEAD DRY POWDERED FUNGI-BORDO y z lb., 40c; 1 lb., 75c Dry Arsenate of Dead is rapidly gain- ing in favor over the paste. It has none of the disadvantages of the paste form and many advantages that the older form does not possess.. Dry Powdered ArBenate of Dead is an exceedingly finely divided, fluffy powder which is much easier to get into sus- pension in the spray tank than is any other form of Arsenate of Lead. Use 1 to 1% lbs. to 50 gals, of water. l/ 2 lb., 40c; 1 lb., 75c Pungi-Bordo is a dry powder Bordeaux put up In sift-proof impervious pack- ages. It is easily held in suspension and can be used with excellent results in combination with Paris Green, Arsenate of T,ead or other insecticides. You pay no freight on water when you buy Dry Powdered Bordo. Usually 8 lbs. to 50 gals, of water will prove very effective.

DRY LIME SULFUR 1 LB. 25c, 5 LBS. $1.00, 10 LBS. $1.75, 100 LBS. $12.50 For many years growers have been using liquid Lime Sulphur Solution. They are thoroughly fa- miliar with its use and the results it will accom- plish, and there is no question whatever regard- ing its efficiency as a spraying material. It is a conceded fact, however, that the use of Lime Sulphur Solution carries with it many disadvan- tages. For instance; it weighs approximately six hundred pounds to the barrel; it is very disagree- able to handle; there is considerable waste when using it, and it cannot be carried over safely on account of leakage, danger of freezing, etc. Dry Dime-Sulfur enters into solution in water almost instantly and spraying operations can be started immediately. Packages should be stored in a dry place and kept tightly sealed at all times. 80 lbs. of Dry Dime-Sulfur will produce 400 gals, of spray for dormant work. LIME AND SULPHUR SOLUTION PRICE— QT. 30c, 1 GAL. 75c, 5 GALS. $2.50, 1 BBL. $13.50 For those who still prefer the old style sulphur spray we can still furnish Lime and Sulphur Solution. This has been used by the orchardists of the Northwest for many years, and has long been the standard sulphur spray. We recommend Soluble Sulphur Com- pound as being just as effective, more convenient and less expen- sive, but some who have used Lime and Sulphur Solution with entire satisfaction will no doubt be averse to changing. It is a clear, cherry-red solu- tion, free from sediment, and tests 33 degrees Baume, which is as concentrated as it is possible to make a lime and sulphur solution which will remain in solution. For winter or early spring spraying, before buds are open, it is used at the rate of one gallon of solution to eleven gallons of water. For sum- mer spraying it is diluted with about twenty- eight parts water. HELLEBORE PRICE — 14 LB. 25c, 1 LB. 90c Pure Powdered White Hellebore is one of the best insecticides for general use on plants and vegetable foliage. Destroys insects that eat the leaves and flowers, such as Slugs, Caterpillars, Currant Worms, Cutworms, and if mixed with bran, Rose Bugs, and, in fact, most all the eat- ing insects that pester the gardener and grower of plants. When used with water, 1 oz. to 2 gals, is the usual proportion. If used dry apply by •dusting. PARIS GREEN !4 LB. 40c, l/ 2 LB. 75c, 1 LB. $1.25 For all leaf-eating insects. The standard ar- senical poison killing all leaf-eating insects, worms, slugs, etc. Cheaper than Lead Arsenate, but does not ding to the foliage so long. If used too strong will burn the foliage. TUBER-TONIC PRICE— / 2 LB. 40c; 1 LB., 75c This material is a very finely di- vided powder which is unaffected by heat or cold, and which reaches the consumer in perfect condition for use under any and all condi- tions, and which eliminates exces- sive freight charges, such as paste materials necessarily carry with them. It stays in suspension well and sticks to the leaf almost indefi- nitely. Combining both insecti- cidal and fungicidal qualities, It simplifies spraying operations for the farmer and grower. In the past, Paris Green has been recognized as the standard and most efficient potato spray for killing potato bugs, flea beetles, etc. Bordeaux Mixture has long been in use, as a reliable fungi- cide for controlling blight, scab and other potato diseases. Both materials, however, have decided disad- vantages. For instance, Paris Green does not stick to the foliage any great length of time, and is readily washed off by heavy dew or rains. Paste Bordeaux Mixture, either home-made or commercial, when sprayed separately has its dis- advantages, and when combined with Paris Green it requires considerable time and labor to get them into thorough combination. All of these dis adv antages are overcome by the use of DRY TUBER TONIC. For general use 1 % lbs. to 3 lbs. to 50 gals, of water will prove effective. KEROSENE EMULSION PRICE— PINTS 45c, QUARTS 75c A safe and sure remedy for all Lice and Flies that infest plants and trees at times. It will de- stroy the Squash Bug, Oyster Shell Scale and all insects that take their nourishment through a proboscis. It is put up in a concentrated form, and dilutes with water from 10 to 30 times its bulk, according to the amount of insects on the plant. It is also used on the San Jose Scale a great deal when it is in the early stages. Apply with a vaporizer or with a pump the same as our other remedies. For plum curculio, spray just before the blossom buds open, and the second time two weeks after the petals fall. Adding a little Paris Green at this time will kill the leaf lice, aphides, bugs and other insects injurious to fruit and foliage. Spray the third time, about June 10th, with the plain Emulsion.

CARCO ROOT MAGGOT SPRAY The only remedy yet discovered that has proven effective against the Root Maggot. This spray has been used very extensively by truck gardeners during the past season on cauliflower, cabbage, onions and turnips, and they all report that it has real merit and does better work than any spray they have ever used to abate this nuisance. One user reports that on plants that were sprayed the loss was 15%, while on those not sprayed the loss was about 22%. It is di- luted 100 parts, so there is very little chance of injury to the plants. TREE TANGLEFOOT PRICE— PER LB. 40c For caterpillars, moths and worms. Protects against all climbing insects. One pound makes a band 9 feet long. GRAFTING WAX PRICE— !4 LB. 20c It is important that the wax should not soften and run after having been applied to the graft. Ours is made with this particular feature in view. It will not soften in the sun so as to run. It is, however, easily worked with the hand when being applied. If used in very cool weather, it may be more quickly soft- ened by holding it over the stove for a few moments. Besides its use for graft- ing, it is excellent if applied to young trees and shrubs if barked, and will re- main on and prevent rot until the wound is covered with new bark.

Capacity, 15 gals, price $20.00 THE STANDARD SPRAY PUMP The Standard is the busy man’s sprayer. Al- ways ready; saves half the time doing the work. This is, without doubt, the best Spray Pump that has ever been offered to the buying public. It is simple, durable and powerful, and is equally good for field, garden or orchard work. It is made of brass, with two solid brass ball valves; it is pro- vided with two nozzles, 3 Ms feet of hose and strainer. It is warranted unconditional- ly for five years. No need for unwieldy extension rods, ladders or platforms. It will do the work in one- third the time required by any other sprayer. It wiil spray a large orchard when used with barrel. One man will do better work and faster work than two men with an ordinary barrel pump. It will whitewash cow stables and chicken houses, spray cattledip and disinfectants. Owing to the construction of the Standard Spray Pump, the force is sufficient to cover the highest fruit tree and penetrate the thickest foliage — reaching the vital parts of the tree. Used with a knapsack potato at- tachment it will spray a field of potatoes, one row at a time, as fast as a man can walk. Everyone who has used this pump or seen it used is an enthusiastic booster for it, and we like to sell it, for it always makes a satisfied customer of the person who buys it. No man with a spot of ground to call his own can afford to be without this pump. The price is so reasonable that it is within the reach of all. Weight, 6 pounds.

September 10, 1917. The Fleming Egg Preserving Co., Chicago, 111. (Attention Mr. Marks, Seattle Agent). Dear Sir — I have to state that we have handled the Fleming Egg Preserver over a year. I have had many cus- tomers come back this year that bought from us last sea- son. alley all say that they find the eggs treated with Fleming Preserver to be just as nice and fresh as the fresh- laid eggs. _ . _ , , We sold a few dozen last year. This year we have sold many dozen and I expect a wonderful sale on this article for the coming season. The one dozen eggs that you treated September 6th. 1916, and gave to me were kept on my desk until Febru- ary, 1917. When tested, I found every egg to be nice and fresh. Yours very truly, THE BON MARCHE, C. White, Mgr. Gro. Dept. Small size, preserves 50 dozen eggs. Large size, preserves 100 dozen eggs. WHITE LEGHORN HENNERY Campbell's Fancy Eggs, Gold Bar, Wash. M. C. Campbell. Mr. Marks, Seattle, Wash. August 10, 1917. Dear Mr. Marks — You want to know how many eggs I have put up with your Preserver. At present I have up 2700 dozen, just as nice as the day they were laid. My first eggs were laid in March and let lay in boxes until the middle of April, then I commenced to put them up and I find every egg, as far as any human can tell, just the same as if it had been only an hour old. If eggs that are cracked are put up, of which there is- sure to be a few, they may not keep, but then nearly every one of them are still good for cooking, puddings, custards^ etc., and I know the eggs could be shipped around the- world and if properly handled would be fresh eggs. Wishing you the best of luck, for surely you deserve it r Yours truly, (Signed) M. C.
