Twen IF ifth eAnniversary.

Milwaukee, Wis., January 7th, 1904.

To our Friends, The Public:

This ts the twenty-fith season of the publication of this book—‘‘Our Silent
Salesman’’—and we are pleased to mazl to each of our thousands of customers a
copy with the compliments of the Season and the expressed wish that it will be a
productive as wellas a profitable one. And such it cannot help but be if good
seeds be sown. Good Seeds Promote Long Friendships. There are names on
our books dating back overtwenty years. Nothing gives us more pleasure during
our busy spring season, than to find, in going over our daily orders, the names of
scores of life-long customers, who have been buying our seeds almost annually
stnce the first few years of existence of our business. This loyalty on the part of
thousands of old customers convinces us, that the quality of our seeds has been ap-
preciated, which ts encouraging for us to go on and tf possible, to do even better
than ever in their behalf.

“‘Our Silent Salesmen,’’ a Modest Catalogue with Honest Descriptions.
Our Catalogue does not exaggerate. The illustrations are not misleading. The
descriptions are true and say too little rather than too much. All the seeds we
offer have been thoroughly tested. Our novelties are all of known merit. We
have no untried experiments for our customers, nothing todisappoint. We know
the Seed Business thoroughly and pledge our reputation on whatever we tell you.

In closing, we desire to state that we appreciate Early Orders and lots of
them. Thanking you for past patronage and hoping for a continuation of same,
we remain, Yours for ‘‘Good Seeds,”

WERNICH SEED CO.

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER.

Order Early—“‘In time of winter prepare for spring.’”’ Order early, and have your seed on hand when
it is time to sow.

Address—No matt -r how often you order, always give your Name, Post Office, County and State in
full. When Freight or Express Office is different from Post Office. give both.

Remittances—Cash with Order. Remittances may be made at our risk by Draft, Money Order, or
Cash by Express, or in registered letter.

For the convenience of our Patrons we enclose a blank Application for Post Office Money Order, which
must be filled out by the sender, and which will be held by our local Postmaster for four years from date
of issue.

Seeds Postpaid—We deliver free all Seeds (Ozs. 4 lbs., lbs , Pints and Quarts), Plants, Bulbs, ete.,
at prices quoted excepting where otherwise noted. :

Shipping—When customers do not state clearly how and where to ship. we use our own discretion.

Safe Arrival—We endeavor to secure the safe arrival of packages in every case. If packagesdo not
arrive in due time, please notify, and we will at once trace the same. Except where noted, we make no
charge for packing. ; : ;

Errors—We are very careful in executing our Orders, yet in the rush of business in our busy season,
errors sometimes occur, in which event we wish to be promptly notified, and we will rectify.

Guaranty—Complaints made that Seeds are not good cannot always be attributed to the quality.
There are hundreds of causes other than poor quality to prevent the best of seeds from always giving satis-
faction; such as sowing too deep, too shallow, in too wet or too dry soil, insects of all descriptions destroy-
ing the plants as soon as or before they appear, wet or cold weather, frosts, changes in the Seeds, induced
by temperature, ete., therefore, while we exercise the greatest care to have all Seeds pure and reliable,
we do not give any warranty, expressed or implied, and we will not be in any way responsible for the crop.

Novelties and Specialties for 190A :

A SENSATIONAL
NEW SWEET CORN,

“PEEP O’ DAY”

TEN DAYS EARLIER THAN ANY
OTHER VARIETY.

What product of the garden is so eagerly
awaited as the first sweet corn of the sea-
on?—not the tasteless, discouraged, prema_
ture corn, shipped from long distances,
worthless when picked and unfit for hum-
an food when it arrives, but the real, ten-
der, juicy, SWEET CORN ready for use
before the summer has really commenced.
Such a Sweet Corn is Peep o’ Day. Read
the following remarkable statement made
by J. W. Gray, of Trempealeau, Wisconsin.

“The ‘Peep oO’ Day’ Sweet Corn I
had of you last Spring gave me corn
fit for the table JUNE 25th. I saved
seed from that crop and raised a
second erop, and saved Seed from
the seeond crop for next year’s
planting.”

Other characteristics of the Peep ’o Day
in addition -to its extreme earliness are its
extraordinary tenderness and sweetness,
surpassing in these particulars any other
Sweet Corn. Few of the early varieties
are as sweet’as the Late or Evergreen
sorts, not so with the PEEP ’O DAY.
It is the sweetest corn of which we have
knowledge. We do not know why this is
so—simply that it is so.

The ears of Peep *o Day corn average about 6 inches in length and are perfect in form. In habit
of growth Peep ’o Day is very distinct. The stalks grow from 3 to 4 feet in height, 3 to 5 ears on
the stalk. The stalks being so small they may be allowed to stand very closely together. The seeds
may be planted either in bills or in rows. If the former, plant 6 or 7 kernels in a hill, later thinning
out so as to leave 4 plants to each hill. If in rows and not in hills, drop the seed about six inches
apart and (if planted early) cover about 1 inch deep. Later plantings should be put in deeper. 8 to
10 quarts will plant an acre. :

Price, Large Packet 10 cts.; Pint 30 cts.;: Quart 50 cts.: 2 Quarts 90 cts.; by mail postage paid.
By express or freight, Quart 40 cts.; 2 Quarts 70 cts.; Peck $1.75; One-half Bushel $3.00.

DWARF STONE TOMATO.

DOUBLE THE SIZHh OF DWARF CHAMPION AND
THE LARGEST DWARF IN EXISTENCE.

This is another splendid new variety from Living-
ston, the Tomato Man. In habit of vine it resembles
Dwarf Champion, but is of stronger growth and more
erect. The fruit resembles the Stone in color, shape and
what is more remakable, for an erect sort it is prac-
tically same size. Ten fruits picked from one vine at
same time weighed five pounds, three ounces. Tive
fruits selected by eye for average size weighed two
pounds, niné ounces. This was under field cultivation
on farm land, with no fertilizer. Specimens weighing
one pound each are quite common. The new Dwarf
Stone is fully double the size of Dwarf Champion, and
yet equally as early. It is fully as prolific, and conse-
quently yastly more productive. We consider this one
of our best productions, one that will meet with general
favor; especially will this be true with the class of
growers whose gardening is limited to a few acres, and
where economy in saying lahd must be taken into ac-
count. The strong, upright habit of growth of the
Dwarf Stone admits of very close planting, at least
a half closer each way than the distance required for
the ordinary vyining varieties. In small gardens the
plants may be set 18x24 inches apart each way, and yet
produce an abundant crop. The shape of the fruit is
perfect, with a good skin which is free from cracks
about the stem end. It is very solid, ripens very evenly,
and is of the most excellent quality. }

LOVERS OF RADISH.
RAAB AARARARRRGARARRK ARRARRRRAGRLRA A RARARRRLARAE AL AZARAE ARRRERABRRRKARA

THE GROWER OF THIS NEW VARIETY OF RADISH

writes as follows: The numerous applications from my business friends for the original seed of the genu-
ine ‘‘Munich Beer-Radish,’’ has induced me to undertake the planting of an immense quantity and then
to obtain a typical seed for the trade by carefully selecting from only the best seed bearing plants.

The excellence of the radish thus produced is found in the mild but nevertheless hot agreeableness of
flavor. It also cuts with a mellowness, which is a proof of the shortness and tenderness of the fibres.

The “Munich Beer-Radish”’ has a fine skin, does not throw out side roots and is not so subject to
dry-rot as the ordinary summer radish.

" It can be grown in forcing beds as well as in the natural soil, although it should only be planted out,

when the night frosts are no longer to be feared. as it is well known that the radish runs to seed upon
the slightest cold. Large package 20 cts.; 3 Packages for 59 cts. :

CUMBERLAND CUCUMBER.

It is a hybrid of Parisian Pickling anu veerless White Spine, retaining the long even growth of fruit,
the solidity of flesh, the crispness and excellent flavor of the former, and the hardiness and great produtive-
ness of the Peerless White Spine. It is a rapid, strong and vigorous grower and very prolific. The Pickles
differ from all other hardy sorts in being thickly set with fine spines over the entire surface except the
extreme stem eid. During the whole period of growth, from the time they first set until fully grown,
the form is exceptionally straight, thus being as choice a slicing variety as it is for pickles. Pkt. 5 cts.;

WERNIGH Seveey, CABBAGE

AS EARLY AS WAKEFIELD.
AS HARD AS HOLLANDER.

“Bureka. Here we have it. Just what the Gard-
eners have been looking for, viz., an extra early and
hard heading cabbage. Wernich’s ‘‘Three EE’ or
Extra Early Eureka, wins the prize and justly des-
erves to be placed at the head of the Early Cabbages.
It is as early as the earliest of Wakefield’s and as
hard as a cannon ball. It is a flat cabbage: eg.
yery compactiy, thus vie.dixng a imwucn larger crop
than other early varieties and a splendid keeper i.
an early sort on account of its solidness. Unexcell:
for market and garden use and everyone should ei,
itja trial. Pkt., 5 ects.; oz., 25 cts.; %4 Ib., 75 cts.:
1 Jb., $2.50.

(ee yeigl

Undoubtedly the best carrot for general crop and
esteemed by market gardeners for its handsome tap-
ering form and rich dark orange color. The seed we
offer is grown from carefully selected stock. Wer-
nich’s Improved Danvers is far superior to the well-
known Danvers in shape, color, and general ap-
pearance, while the flesh is tender and sweet. It
is almost entirely free from core, and as a cropper
outyields all Carrots we know of. An excellent
bunching carrot for market. Will grow on all kinds
of soil, and as a keeper has no equal. Pkt., 10 ets.;

A NEW EXTRA EARLY
Large Podded, Sweet Wrinkled Pea,

“THOMAS LAXTON.”

This fine new early pea was raised by crossing
Gradus, which in itself is a sensationally early and .
largepodded variety, with a very early seeding of
the Aiaska type. Im earliness the Thomas Laxton
is only two or three days behind the Alaska, but
the pods are more than double the size, containing
on the average seven or eight very large sweet wrin-
kled peas of the very richest flavor. The vines at-
tain a height of from three to three and one half
feet. It is superior to the Gradus, being earlier,
hardier in constitution, and of darker colored pod.
It is the best pea of all for market gardeners as well
as for private gardeners, and received the award of
merit from the Royal Horticultural Society of Hng-
land. In flavor this pea is not surpassed, being as
sweet as the Champion of England, which up to the
time of the introduction of the Thomas Laxton, has
been in our estimation, the sweetest pea of all. The
stock we offer was produced by ourselves from seed
obtained at yery high cost direct from the introducer,
Thomas Laxton, Bedford, England. The quantity
we have to offer this season is limited. and we sug-

-gest that all those who wish to try this magnificent

pea send in their order at an early date.

THE AFRICAN LILAC DAISY.

(Arctotis Grandis).

The handsome appearance and elegant habit of this
new plant are certain to make it popular. This an- 4
nual is a native of Southwest Africa, but grows
perfectly in our climate. ;

It forms profusely branched bushes of about 2 to
214 feet in height and breath. The leaves are soft
and whitish. Its flower heads, borne on long stems
and rising well above the foliage. are large and
showy, from 2% to 3 inches across; being pure
white on the upper surface, reverse of petals pale
lilac. Under the influence of bright sunlight the
flowers spread out almost flat, and the pure white
of the ray florets contrasts beautifully to the light
blue disk with its slightly projecting white stamens,
a lovely combination of colors.

Being of very easy culture, on a suitable sunny E
place, these plants produce their flowers most
abundantiy and in constant succession from
early summer until autumn.

This fine novelty we recommend to all our cus-
tomers for a trial. Pkt., 10 cts.; 3 for 25 cts.

(Dianthus Heddewigi Nobilis).
The Indian Pink has been

Dianthus Heddewigi Nobilis,
is an improvement of the old
fashioned variety. The flow-
ers are of a beautiful shape
and from three to four inches
in diameter. The petals are
frilled and fringed, giving the
flower a graceful appearance.
The colors are, first of all, a
deep yet very bright blood-
red, then shade to carmine
and pink and even white.
The plants grow vigorous and
tall, and gives lots of first-

keep a full week in water.

The Carrot, like other root crops, flourishes best, in a well enriched sandy soil, deeply
illed, and if plowed the fall before, all the better. Should be sown in early spring in drills
from 15 to 18 inches apart, finally thinning plants to about three or four inches apart in the
Fdrvill; keep clean by frequent hoeing and weeding. If neglected, the young plants are easily
smothered, and your crop is lost. The seed is slow to germinate, and if sown early or on
oist soil, half an inch is deep enough to cover the seed. One ounce sows 150 feet of row.

partially two or three times to promote stubby growth. On

CABBAGE

German—Kopf Kohl. French—Choux Poermes.
9 Spanish—Repollo.

For early use, sow seeds of the early kinds ip the
hot-beds or in a box in the house the last of January
or early in February, and transplant them in the open
ground in April, in rows two feet apart, and eighteen
inches between the plants in the row; or sow a bed of
seed outside as soon as the soil can be worked, if you
do not care for real early cabbage. These may be
transplanted in about four weeks. For second early
cabbage, sow in April and transplant in May. For late
cabbage, sow in May and transplant in July, in rows
three feet apart and two feet between the plants in
the row. One ounce of seed produces about 2,500 plants.
Four ounces grow enough to set an acre.

The Best Cabbage for Early Spring Sales.

This entirely distinct variety comes from Denmark. It
has been.cultivated in America for five or six years and
has proved a very desirable winter cabbage both on ac-
count of its uniformity in heading and from its extreme-
ly hard, solid head, which gives it superior keeping quali-
ties. The heads are nearly round, almost as deep as
they are wide. Color, blue green. The hard heads keep
excellently when buried and present an’ attractive ap-
pearance when offered in the spring market. It has been
thoroughly tested and may be relied upon to meet every
elaim made for it. ete OCs OZ OUC Sambo pil O08) tls

HE LUPTON.

A New Winter Variety.
This variety originated with one of the largest Cabbage
seed growers of Long Island, whose name it bears, and
we recommend it for the following points: The heads
are particularly large in proportion to the plant, which
is a strong grower, but does not spread out much. The
stalk is rather short and color is a rich green; it is
one of the best keepers and comes out in the spring
bright and fresh. It is more uniform and heads better
than other late varieties. Pkt., 5 c; oz., 20c; % lb., 60¢;

For Field Corn, see pages 30, 31 and 32. Farm Seeds Department,
Sow in rows four and a half feet apart, or plant in hills, if in rich soil, a distance of about four feet each
way. If the soil is poor and the variety dwarf, the distance apart may be lessened. Begin planting in May and
Ware until the last week in July. One quart to 200 hills; 8 to 10 quarts to the acre, in hills. ;

First of All. Corn is ready for the table from three days to a week earlier than the Cory, making it
yéry desirable not only for family gardens, but extremely valuable to grow for market, where the earliest corn

If wanted for early spring use, sow in seed bed in September or October, and-protect through the winter
with cold frames, or in the South with leaves or litter, or sow in a hot bed in early spring; as soon as the
ground can be well worked, transplant in good, rich ground, two rows eighteen inches apart, and eight to ten
inches in the rows. For a later supply, plant every two weeks from the middle of April to July, choosing va-
rieties according to their heat resistance. If sown outside, to be cut young, sow thickly in drills or broadcast; but
if fine, strong heads are desired, sow in drills one-fourth inéh deep, eighteen inches apart, and thin, rather than
fcrana to twelve inches apart in rows. One ounce ofced makes 2,000 plants.

~RADISHES, —

German—Radies. French—Radis. Spanish—Rabanos.

One ounce to about 100 feet of drill; 8 to 10 pounds for an acre.
The soil for Radishes should be very rich, light and mellow, well
broken by digging, as their tender and mild qualities depend much
upon their rapid growth. For very early use sow in gentle hot beds
in February, and in open air as soon as the ground can be worked, at
intervals of ten or twelve days for a succession, as long as they may
be wanted. The Turnip Rooted are the best for sowing in the summer.
The winter varieties should be sown in August, and lifted before severe
frost and stored in the cellar. ;

2
WERNICH’S /NEW FORCING RADISH.
| ‘EARLY ERFURT.’’

Quick growth is essential to produce crisp and tender Radish.
We have it in “Early Erfurt” which matures in 20 days after
&sowing. This makes it the most valuable for forcing or out door

culture. The tops are quite small, the roots globular with deep red
skin; flesh white, crisp and tender. It has a pleasant flayor, very mild.
On account of smallness of tops it admits of very close sowing. Well
lgsuited for sowing under glass. Pkt., 10 cts.; 0oz., 15 ets.; 4 Ib., 35
ets.; 1 Ib., $1.00. Pe

TOMATO.

German—Liebesapfel. French—Tomato. Spanish—Tomate.

The seed should be sown in a hot-bed about the first week in March,
in drills five inches apart and half an inch deep. When the plants are
about two inches high, they should be set out about four or five inches
| apart in another hot-bed. About the middle of May the plants may be set
in the open ground; they are planted for early crops on light sandy soil,
at a distance of three feet apart, in hills in which a good shovelful of
rotten manure has been mixed. On heavy soils, which are not suited for
an early crop, they should be planted four feet apart. Water freely at the
time of transplanting. and shelter from the sun for a few days until the
plants are established. One ounce will produce about 2,000 plants.

y Matehless. The color is a rich, cardinal red. The skin is so
tough that it is a splendid keeper and shipper, and is less liable

and is very productive, bearing with undiminished vigor until
trost. The fruit is free from core, and the seed-spaces are com-
paratively small. The leaves are of a rich, dark green color, and
very luxuriant, indicating great constitutional vigor, and giving
the plant ability to produce fruit of the largest size throughout

which are sown very early in the spring for summer crop, and early in August for a fall and winter crop. A
light soil well manured the previous year, is the best: no manure should be applied at the time of sowing,
unless it be well decomposed compost, or the roots are liable to bé bad flayored. The Rutabaga varieties should

THYME.
An assortment of choice pot and sweet herbs should be grown in every garden for flavoring soups, meats,

ete. Many country garderners still grow the simple medicinal herbs for home use. Herbs in general prefer a
cool, moist soil, making their most rapid growth during the cool spring months. Seeds of those varieties, the
leaves of which are used either in a dried or green state, especially the perennial varieties, should be sown
thinly in shallow drills as early in the spring as the soil can be dug in a fine, loose condition. When well started,
the perennial varieties should be transplanted to regular beds or borders, setting plants twelve inches apart in
the rows, and rows far enough apart to admit of easy cultivation. The annual varieties should also be sown
early, making rows twelve to eighteen inches apart for those of which the leaves are dried and two feet apart
for those raised for the ripened seed, such as Dill, Caraway, Coriander, ete.

To preserve the varieties, of which the leaves are used, the stems should be cut close to the ground, just
when coming into flower, tied in small bundles and hung to dry in a cool loft or shed. For the varieties pro-
ducing aromatie seeds cut off the tops or seed-heads as soon as ripened; spread thinly on floor of a cool loft or tie

CHANGE YOUR SEED.

All practical farmers AGREE that seed grown year after year under the same condi-
tions of soil and climate “‘RUNS OUT”’ after a time, rendering a change of seed not only
DESIRABLE but NECESSARY. To such we offer NORTHERN GROWN STOCKS of the
BEST VARIETIES, CAREFULLY SELECTED, THOROUGHLY RECLEANED and
PRICES SO REASONABLE as to enable every farmer who wishes to get a new start in
SEED OATS, BARLEY, CORN, ETC., to do so at a VERY SMALL EXPENSE.

BARLEY.
GENUINE BAVARIAN ‘‘HOFBRAU’”’ BARLEY.

Two years ago we obtained from Bavaria, Germany, a bushel of the famous T'wo-
Rowed Bavarian Barley, which weighed fifty-nine pounds. From this one bushel we
obtained 29 bushels, which weighed 58 pounds to the bushel, though raised in the severe
drought of 1901. From this seed we raised the present season nearly 500 bushels, which
weighed from the machine 116 to 120 pounds to the bag. The kernels are very large and
plump, and it weighs nearly as heavy as wheat. It is a very hardy variety. and has come
through the present wet season with searcely any discoloration. Prepaid, 20 ets. Not
prepaid, peck, 50 cts.; bu., $1.55; 214 bu., $3.75.

MANSHURY.

A six-rowed variety, plumb kernels, straw long and a heavy yielder. Prepaid, lb., 25
cts.; 5d lbs.. $1.00. Not prepaid, peck, 40 cts.; bu., $1.25; 2144 bu., $8.00; 5 bu., $5.50; 10

bu., $10.50.
GERMAN MELON.

This barley was introduced by us some years ago and has given the best of satisfac-
tion wherever grown. Brewers prefer this sort to all others. Prepaid, lb., 25 ets.; 5 Ibs.,
$1:00. Not prepaid, pk., 50 cts.; bu., $1.50; 214 bu., $8.35; 5 bu., $6.50; 10 bu., $12.50.

SUCCESS OR BEARDLESS.

All barley growers have experienced the annoyance occasioned by the chafing and
sticking of the beards while threshing. This nuisance has been overcome in the New
Beardless Barley, which is entirely free from beards. This barley is six-rowed, the straw
grows to a good height, is stiff and strong, and does not readily iodge. Prepaid, lb., 25
ets.; 5 lbs., $1.00. Not prepaid, pk., 50 cts.; bu., $1.25; 214 bu., $3.00; 5 bu., $5.50; 10

bu., $10.50.
GIANT WHITE HULLESS.

We are going to start out in the description of this barley by making this broad,
sweeping statement, that it is the most prolific fat and health producing food for hogs,
eattle and poultry extant today. Of course, the farmer living in the corn_growing states
of Illinois, Iowa, and Nebraska believes that he has a better food in corn than in this Giant
White Hulless Barley but the fact of the matter is that this is a mere assumption, because
he has not given this barley a trial side by side with his rich corn. But take, for instance,
states where corn does not thrive, take the northern parts of Wisconsin, Minnesota, the
Dakotas and Montana, and a great many other states where corn does not thrive as luxur-
iantly as in Iowa, Lllinois, Indiana, Nebraska and Kansas, we say that in the above states
Giant White Hulless Barley is pre-eminently the crop to grow for stock fattening. Pre-
paid, lb., 30 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.25. Not prepaid, pk., 60 cts.; bu., $1.85; 214 bu., $4.25.

SEED RYE.
SWEDISH SPRING.

Used mainly as a catch crop when other winter crops fail. Rye is a cereal that is
very little sown compared with other grain. We cannot see why the farmers don’t sow
more. It always has a steady market price very seldom less than 55c per bu. and the yield
from good seed will average 40 bu. per acre. Prepaid, lb., 25 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.25. Not pre-

' paid, pk., 40 cts., bu., $1.25; 2% bu., $3.00; 10 bu., $11.50.

ST. JOHN’S RYE.

This is undoubtedly the Only Rye to Sow, especially as a catch crop. None
so prolific in straw or kernels as our *‘Matchless St. Johns.”

Can be Sown either in Spring or in Fall. The beauty of this Rye is that it
can be sown early or late, it makes no difference, grow it will, wet or dry weather, and
furnish abundance of Fodder. If your winter wheat or other crops prove a failure,
we know of nothing that compares with St. John’s Rye, and by sowing it you will get:

1. If sown before the end of June, two large crops of hay.

2. Enough for pasturing your horses and cattle until late in the season.

8. In the spring it will come up thick, early and luxuriant. f ‘

4. Can then again be used as a pasturage or by letting it run to seed will yield 30 to
85 bushels of fine seed Rye. Sown with Oats and Sand Vetches as a catch crop you will
haye Fodder to burn. If sown alone sow 40 pounds to the acre. i fre

SELECTED SEED GRAIN—Continued.

SEED WHEAT.

We are obliged to ask a considerable advance over the market
price for our High Grade Seed Wheat as there is very much larger
cost attached to its production and preparations than any one, who
has not had the experience. could possibly appreciate. Space does
not permit of going into details, but as a matter of fact the prices
named below for the larger quantities represent but a slight ad-
vance over the cash outlay to us for selecting, cleaning and grad-
ing the Seed.

We believe that farmers who want to change their seed will
find it very much to their advantage to secure enough, at least,
to give them a start.

To those who do not care for the pedigree, or highly improved
stock, but want simply good, healthy, sound and reasonably clean
wheat, we would state that we are in position at all times to select
from the hundreds of ears which daily arrive in Milwaukee, ex-
eellent lots of either Fife or Blue Stem, and which we will sell
either in car or less than car lots, at a slight advance over the
prevailing market price. Will be glad to send samples and prices

upon applicaticen.
PROBSTIER.

This: variety has all the characteristics of the Saskatchewan Fif>
from which it is descended by careful selections. It excels in
earliness, hardness, productiveness and freedom from smut and all
diseases. Our Grower reports that Probstier will average 40 to 50
bushels per acre. ‘‘Bald.’”’ Prepaid. lb., 25 ets.; 5 lbs., $1.00. Not
prepaid, peck, 50 cts.; bu. $1.50; 2% bu., $3.40; 10 bu., $13.00.

VELVET CHAFF BLUE STEM.

Northern grown, Pedigree stock. A distinet variety from
all other Spring Wheats. The stem just below the head, when
green, has a beautiful blue bloom on it which entirely disap-
pears as the wheat ripens, the straw and stem assuming a
beautiful golden yellow hue and entirely free from rust. Pre-
paid, lb., 25 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.00. Not prepaid, peck, 50 e¢ts.; bu.,

SASKATCHEWAN FIFE.

Early, productive, and known as one of the best No. 1 mill-
ing wheat, noted for its great productiveness, earliness and
freedom from smut. So well known that further description
is unnecessary. Prepaid, 1b., 30 ets., 5 1bs., $1..25 Not prepaid,

MACARONI WHEAT.
The Wheat for the West.

Recommended by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Send for
Circular No. 18 describing this Wheat and its: usefulness. The
market for this Wheat will be a good one as‘the demand exceeds
the supply. It is used principally in the manufacture of Macaroni.
Macaroni manufacturers are ready to buy all that can be raised.
About 15,000,000 lbs. of foreign Macaroni is imported annually
solely because, being made from true Macaroni Wheat, it is con-
sidered to be a better quality than our domestic Maraconi, which
is made almost entirely of bread wheats. Moreover the imported
Macaroni sells at a much higher price. Of course all the cost of
the imported product will be saved to this country if the farmers
and millers will furnish our factories with the right kind of mater-
ial, which they can easily do. Macaroni wheat will also make good
bread; such bread-eating countries as Russia, France. Italy, Spain,
Greece and the Mediterranean regions using it extensively. A
small per cent. of softer wheat is usually mixed with the Macaroni
wheat before grinding, however. It is the only wheat for our semi
arid plains where heretofore the raising of wheat was almost an
impossibility. It will grow anywhere, wilhstands drouth, is rust-
proof and earlier than other wheats. The yield varies from 12 to
40 bushels per acre, depending on soil and climate. In this country
Macaroni wheat should be sown in the spring, in all territory north
of the thirty_fifth parallel. South of that latitude it should be
sown in October 15th to December ist... Prepaid, lb., 20 cts.; 4 lbs.,
75 ets.; not prepaid, lb., 10 cts.; pk., 60 cts.5 bu., $1.95; 2% bu.,
$4.25.

EMMER OR SPELTZ.

“What is it?’ Neither barley nor wheat, yet it resembles both,
and outyields barley, oats and wheat. Botanically it is known as
Triticum Spelta and is supposed to be the grain grown in Egypt
at the time of Moses. Ask your German neighbor, he has seen it
grow in the old country and will tell you of its good qualities, both
for milling as well as for feeding. It is a wonderful stooler and a
robust grower and will do as well on poor as it will on rich soil.
Prepaid, 1 Ib., 25 cts.; 5 Ibs., $1.00. Not prepaid, peck, 40 cts.;
bu,, $1.10; 214 bu., $2.65; 5 bu., $5.25; 10 bu:, $10.00.

new your Seed Oats this
year by sowing some of
our improved varieties
and thus greatly in-
crease your yield.

DUPPAUER.

This Oats has stiff straw, stands up well, plump berries with a
thin hull and of good color. It is extremely early and should be sown
very early. It is full-of fresh new blood and overflowing with vigor.
Once sown it will grow from start to finish despite the elements.
Duppauer planted side by side with other yarieties out-yield them
two to one. it is a great stooler, one kernel producing 50 and more
strong, stiff, healthy, vigorous stems. This accounts for the large
erops Duppauer Oats will yield. It will pay you to sow Duppauer
Oats. It will yield 80 to 100 bushels, whereas, perhaps your own seed
only produces 50 bushels. Figure it out yourself and you must admit
it pays to try this grand new sort. Prepaid, Ib., 25 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.00.
Not prepaid, per peck, 45 cts.; bu., $1.25; 244 bu., $3.00; 10 bu., $11.50.

WHITE PROBSTIER.

(New Seed.) This we believe to be the best oats ever introduced,
be it grown in the North, East, South or West. It has never been
known to fail. Our stock this year is grown from new seed, imported
two years ago and the seeding of which we gave_our personal attention
at the time. Prepaid, !b., 25 cts.; 5 Ibs., $1.00. Not prepaid, peck,
40 cts.: bu., $1.00; 2% bu., $2.35; 10 bu., $9.00.

YELLOW PROBSTIER.

Extremely hardy, makes a strong stool and grows with vigor and
rapidity. Do not compare this oats with the variety known as Yel-
low French, which is a good oats but cannot compete with the Yellow
Probstier for earliness, heaviness or production. It will grow any-
where, and being rust proof, will grow under all climatic conditions
where oats will grow. Prepaid, 1b., 25 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.00. Not prepaid,
peck, 45 cts.; bu., $1.15; 2% bu., $2.50; 10 bu., $9.50.

BLACK PROBSTIER.

We believe that in this oats we have the best black oats sold for

seed purposes. Unequaled in the stiffness or strength of the straw,

nothing less than a tornado or a cyclone will lodge them. Prepaid,
lb., 25 ets.; 5 Ibs., $1.00. Not prepaid, peck, 40 cts.; bu., $1.15; 2%

BUCKWHEAT.

(Price subject to Market Fluctuation.)

Silver Hull. A very good and popular yariety. Grain is of
light gray color; is rounder than the common yariety, has a much
thinner husk, earlier, and yields more. The flour is whiter and more
nutritious. Prepaid. lb., 25 ets.; 5 Ibs., $1.00. Not prepaid, peck,

40 ects.; bu., $1.35; 2% bu., $3.25.

New Japanese. About a week earlier than Silver Hull, and
yields almost as much again. The flour made from it equal in
quality, to any other buckwheat, while it is much more productive than
any other, and succeeds well far north. As the straw is heavier and
it branches more, it does not need to be sown as thickly as the other
kinds. 5

Largest kernels, most productive and earliest; stands up well and
makes the best flour. Prepaid, lb., 25 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.00. Not prepaid,

/XELLOW DENT VARIETIES.

WERNICH’S EARLIEST OF ALL, ‘‘NEW,’’
EARLY, SMOOTH, HANDSOME, HARDY, PRODUCTIVE,
PROFITABLE.

Beyond a doubt the best corn ever introduced. It grows a medium
sized stalk with a large ear of good length, 8 to 10 inches. The cob
is small, the kernel smooth and very deep, thus ensuring large yield.
The plant is vigorous, well supplied with foliage. It roots deeply.
thus enabling it to withstand adverse conditions of weather. This
variety is not an ‘‘Accident’’ but is the result of selecting and hybri-
dizing with the object of producing an Extra Early, Large Hared and
Large Yielding Yellow Dent Corn. This has been accomplished. Its
record is ninety days of good corn weather from date of planting to
maturity, and entirely out of frost danger. The past season it ripened
about September ist, right here in Wisconsin. Our supply is limited.

~ tly, FODDER CORN. |

Wherever Live Stock. is an important feature of the farm, Fodder
Corn is equally important. The best Fodder Corn is that which will
give the greatest net amount of good feed from an acre of ground. The —
varieties we list are all good, each possessing certain distinctive points
of excellence which we endeayor to point out in the description,

EVERGREEN SWEET FODDER CORN.

It is an undeniable fact that there is better feeding quality in e
ton of Evergreen Sweet Fodder Corn than in a much larger quantity
of any other variety. The reason is evident, from the fact that all sweet
corn possesses very much more sugar than the field sorts, and as sugar
is the most important constituent, it necessarily follows that the corn
possessing this in great quantity is most valuable. It does not, how- ©
ever, yield as large crops as the following sorts, but what it lacks in
quantity it more than makes up in quality. It» does not grow very tall,
but it is a free stooler. Cattle eat it greedily, preferring it to all other
kinds. Prepaid, qt., 30 cts. Not prepaid, qt., 15 cts.; pk., 75 cts.; bu.,

RED COB ENSILAGE CORN.

of this variety sold every year than of all other Fodder varieties put
together. Prepaid, qt., 20 cts. Not prepaid, qt., 8 cts.; pK., 25 ects.; bu.,

PRIDE OF THE NORTH FODDER CORN.

Used extensively in all corn growing sections and considered the best
early ripe Fodder Corn known. It stools freely and every stalk produces
two to four ears. We sell this corn cheap. Prepaid, qt., 20 cts. Not

BRAZILIAN’ FLOUR

OR NEW CENTURY WONDER CORN.

A most wonderful variety from South America, different in
many respect from other sorts. Instead of growing like ordinary
corn, one stalk to each kernel planted, it stools like winter wheat,
producing 10 to 20 stalks from each seed. There are frequently
3 to 7 ears to the stalk, being 8 to 10 inches long, and of the most
clear snowy white color. It is of excellent quality when used on
the table like sweet corn, yielding, of course, a much larger crop,
and when dry and ground makes the cleanest, finest, whitest meal
you eyer saw. It will rise iike wheat flour and can be used in
bread, biscuits, pies and cakes, and is therefore sometimes called
Flour Corn. Yields 100 to 160 bushels per acre. The IOWA STATE
REGISTER in its Farm Department says:—‘‘This wonderful corn
which was grown about four miles northwest of Des Moines grows
10 to 12 feet high, produces 3 to 7 ears on a stalk and 10 to 20
stalks to the hill from one seed planted. The ears are about 9
inches long and it yielded 75 bushels on half an acre. It makes the
finest of stock food when cut for fodder and produces many times
as much as ordinary corn.’”’ We believe this corn will prove of
great value everywhere for use as sweet corn, to grind into meal,
to feed hogs, eattle and horses and as a fodder plant,

A COMPARISON.—A crop of wheat is considered a fair yield
if it produces ten_fold or ten bushels to each bushel sown. ‘The
New Century Wonder is not satisfied with ten-fold. a nuudred-foitd,
a thousand-fold or ten thousand-fold, but it is claimed that in a
field you can find hills grown from one kernel which bear 20,000
to 40,000 kernels... Of course the,entire crop will not average that,
but it is wonderful, just think of it, 40,000 to 1. Prepaid, pt., 25c;

NORTHERN GROWN

SEED POTATOES

IT PAYS TO CHANGE SEED EVERY YEAR.

The necessity for changing potato seed often is universally
admitted by all well-posted growers, but too seldom practiced,
especially when the best*seed can be had at so little additional
ouilay. About 8 bushels will seed an acre and at 25 cts. to 50 cts.
per bushel additional cost the whole outlay would be $2.00 to
$4.00 with an increase in the crop of at least 25 per cent. By
using our Northern Groirn Seed you are assured of early
maturity, increasing yield and a vigorous growth.

i Vicia Villosa. The Wonderful.

This plant is a native of Russia and extremely hardy, growing well during the
cool weather of our early spring and late fall months. The plants are quite small and
slender at first, but with sufficient moisture soon grow vigorously. It is excellent for
forage, being readily eaten by all kinds of stock, either in the green state or cured
for hay. The plant is of strong, running growth, with very abundant foliage, and if
wanted for hay should be slowly dried in cocks to prevent the leaves from falling off.
A nice hog pasture can be produced in a few months by making a sowing of these
Vetches early in April. Sowings made in August or September withstand easily our
Northwestern winters and will furnish a handsome crop of green fodder by the end
of April, which, on good land, has equalled 15 tons green forage per acre. It
is especially adapted for light, sandy soils and exposed hills, making an excellent cover
crop to prevent the soil from washing during heavy rains, but does not succeed well

in low, wet soils. . The plant is a legume or nitrogen gatherer, and one of the best to

TEOSINTE

“THE WONDERFUL.”

A fodder plant grown largely in some parts of the country. Some-
what resembling corn in appearance, but the leaves are much longer
and broader, and the stalks contain sweeter sap. In its perfection it
produces a great number shoots, growing as much as 12 feet high:
very thickly covered with leaves, yielding such an abundance of foli-
age that one plant is considered sufficient to feed a pair of cattle for
twenty-four hours. Eighty-five stalks have been grown from one seed,
attaining a height of eleven feet. Horses and cattle eat it as freely as
young sugar corn. Down in Georgia, Florida and other Southern
States Teosinte will yield all the way from 100 to 200 Tons Green
Fodder per acre. In the Northern States it has yielded 50 Tons of
Green Fodder per Acre.

We would advise sowing same in rows 2 feet apart, and the hills
far enough apart to work, It wants plenty of sunshine and cultivation,
and then it will grow so rapidly that it will soon cover a whole acre
and look like a dense forest. It can be cut with a reaper and fed in
the green state, or it can be dried and_ makes magnificent fodder for
cattle during the long winter munths. Prepaid, pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 4
lb., 40c¢; lb., 85c. Not prepaid, lb., 75c; 10 lbs., $7.00.

LATHYRUS SYLVESTRIS.

(FLAT PEA.)

The seed should be sown in a smallgarden bed and transplanted when
the plants are of suitable size. Its roots penetrate the soil thirty feet.
which enables it to withstand great extremes of cold and drouth. It
has double the feeding value of Alfalfa, a crop richer than Red Clover.
It will last fifty years without manure and without reseeding. It will
‘cut eight tons of hay per acre in a season. When established, a field
of it will fatten hogs without corn. The plants grow very little above
ground the first year, but the roots make rapid growth. The second
year the top thickens up, and the third year the plant is matured. The
seed requires several weeks to germinate. Sow in April or May on
well prepared ground in drills about one to two feet apart, seeds
about one to two inches deep, about two inches apart in drills, and
cover well; keep well cleaned from weeds afterwards. Prepaid, pkg.,

CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. If for Hay purposes, sow
very thinly in drills 12 to 18 inches apart. dropping a seed every
6 or 8 inches or broadcast 1 lb. per acre. As a Fodder plant sow
in drills 3 or 3% feet apart, thinning out to stand 18 inches apart

this may be the only opportunity; the growth becoming so dense
that a cultivator could not be used a second time. As a Green
food it will support 4 cows and other stock in proportion from the:
time it is 30 inches high until the end of the season. As a Seed
producer it must have amnle space to grow in 2 to 3 feet apart

other food on an acre of Artichokes from the time frost is out of the ground
until they grow again, and from October ist until the ground freezes again.
They produce more hog food per acre than any other crop I am acquainted

Artichokes need planting but once, and little or no culture after the
first year. Cut as potatoes, only smaller; plant in rows 3% feet apart. Plow

VELVET BEAN, THE GREAT NITROGEN GATHERER.

A worthy rival of the Cow Pea.

It is the rankest grower of any of the legumes; two

feet apart will literally cover the ground two or three
feet thick with a mass of foliage and vines 20 to 25
feet long, no matter how poor the soil. It leaves a
mulch on the ground that is very beneficial to the soil.

FOR FEEDING STOCK.
MANGEL WURZEL.

The value of Mangels for stock raising cannot be overestimated,
analysis having demonstrated that 400 pounds of Mangel are equiyalent to
100 pounds of the best hay. Crop of 1000 to 1500 bushels is nothing un-
usual. They will not only increase the yields of milk, but add largely to
the health and general condition of all kinds of stock.

We have a Targe trade on Mangel Seed, and are careful to see that
our stocks are of the finest strains that money will buy. Our prices are
higher, ’tis true, but you are getting Seed that tests 98 per cent. Un-
doubtedly your local merchant ‘has seed that you can buy for 10 and 15
cts. a pound. We “en 5 you to be careful in sowing such truck. Sow
only Wernich’s Tes ed Mangel and you will be satisfied.

WEIGHTS OF GRASSES.

To avoid confusion, we have adopted the uniform weight of 14 lbs.
to the bushel of Grass Seed, excepting where otherwise noted. There-
fore when comparing our prices with those of other houses, take notice
of this fact, as they sell according to stroke measure weight, thus they
give 7 lbs. of Meadow Foxtail for a bushel and figure the price that way,

FPARAKE FR

if you pay little attention to the selection of Timothy, Clover and other
grass seed, but buy from country merchants (who, however, well-inten-
tioned, seldom have sufficient expert knowledge in this matter to protect
No Cattle, ase their customers), you will in a
few years invariably find growing
more weeds than grass.

REPORTS OF EXPERIMENT STATIONS.

Mr. J. H. Sheppard, Professor of Agriculture, N. D. Agriculturak
College, Fargo, writes on Nov. 15, 1899: ‘

“As pasturage it is preferred to timothy by the cattle, 1s shown
by a trial, where it was fed off more closely than timothy in the same
pasture. It has the advantage of being early and being green until
late in the fall. The fact that the Bromus Inermis resists drouth
better than other cultivated grasses, greatly adds to its yalue in the
Northwest. The eagerness with which it is sought by stock leads
me to believe that it is of as much value as timothy for hay and
pasturage, and that the hay is as valuable, ton for ton.”

WGA SY . Bedford, Supt. of Experimental Farm at Brandon,
Manitoba, writes on Nov. 9, 1899:

The Bromus Inermis has done exceedingly well on the farm
here, both on high and low land. Hyven on our gravelly soil and the
tops of hills it has given us a fair return, while on the rich, alluvial
soil it has yielded us a very heavy crop indeed, exceeding four tons
of dry hay to the acre during the past year. It gives us a very much
larger return than timothy, and cattle prefer it to any other hay we
have tested here. We have tested its feeding value, both to dairy
eattle and for feeding steers, and find that it gives us much better
results than any other class of hay:”’

It adapts itself to almost every condition of soil and climate,

For the arid Plains of the West; the Sandy Soil of Michigan; the Cold

‘ Extract from Bulletin No. 198. ‘Report of Michigan Experiment Station.”
8 Sand Lucerne is a leguminous, perennial plant, resembling Alfalfa. It
NN develops an immense root system, and is capable of producing four crops of
hay annually on high, sandy soil without irrigation. The best seedings are
obtained by sowing alone, on well prepared ground, in early May, using about
15 lbs. of seed per acre. No crop is expected the first year, but two or three
mowings, with the knives set high to destroy weeus, is advisable. The
strength and productiveness of the plant improve with age,, and one good seeding ought to last
many years. It withstands the severe climate of Michigan when grown on dry, sandy land. The
tests on low and heavy clay lands are not yet completed. To make the best quality of hay it should
be cut as soon as the blossoms appear, and in curing it should be handled in the field as little as
possible, to avoid the loss of leaves. The yield of cured hay per acre in 1902 from seeding made in

1897 was as follows: A total of 12,035 pounds, or 6 tons, of hay per acre. This same

for a hay crop, and as for green forage hay or pasture, its close resemblance to common Alfalfa ar-
gues for it all that is claimed for the latter. Attaining mature growth early in June, one can easily
manage it for a continuous soiling crop throughout the growing season. As hay it is relished by
all farm animals; its high protein contents suggesting it as a substitute for part of the grain ration.
As a pasture crop, one trial with sheep showed it capable of furnishing a liberal supply of feed
throughout the season, and that the plant was able to withstand severe pasturing. Like the
Alfalfa the Sand Lucerne is a deep rooted perennial plant, sending its tap réots to distances of 12
to 15 feet and over, into the ground with numerous large branching roots, which seem to increase
and multiply as the plant grows older. In the fall of 1899 some two-year-old plants were traced, in
light sandy soil, to the depth of seven and one-half feet, where the tap root was one-eighth of an
inch:in diameter. It has the special advantage over the Alfalfa of being able to withstand the

severe winters and climate of northern Michigan, while the Alfalfa is very easily killed out. It is
also said that Alfalfa is liable to be crowded out py the June grass, sorrell and other weeds. At
the Michigan State experiments, no difficulty of this nature has been noticed with Sand Lucerne.

GUL: FU RE.

Sow at the rate of 15 lbs. per acre. The ground should be carefully prepared early in the spring, by
thorough deep plowing, followed by the roller, unless the ground is a clay loam. Follow up with a harrow suf-
ficently to prepare a good seed bed as for wheat or corn. The seed should then be sown early enough in the
spring, say about May ist to 15th, to give it the benefit of spring moisture. In harvesting the crop, care must be
taken to cut as soon as the blossoms appear, or the plants might get to mature and thus become woody and

valueless.

W A R N | N G e Certain Seed Dealers are offering Sand Lucerne at such a ridiculous

; *low figure that we doubt the genuineness of the seed; in fact, we are

convineed it is not genuine, for when one of them was asked to guarantee his Seed to be true to
name, he positively refused and had no excuse to offer for doing so. This, we think, is ample proof
that he was offering ordinary Alfalfa for genuine Seed, as the Seed lcoks almost alike.

SILESIAN RED CLOVER.
Heat Won’t Kill It. Frost Won’t Kill It.

It is an undisputed and acknowledged fact that
Medium Red or June Clover is by far the most im-
portant for all Clovers for practical. purposes. Experi-
ence, however, has proven that it suffers easily from
drought and frost, which has been more noticeable the
last few years in our northern climate, on account of
our hot and dry summers and severe winters. Drought
and frost will not affect Silesian Red Clover, which
has proven to be absolutely Drought Defying and
Frost Resisting.

It has become so widely known for its purity, strong
vitality, hardiness, vigorous and healthy growth, and
stooling qualities, that we now receive orders from all
over the United States and Canada where clover is
sown. We do not sell the European grown seed which
is very expensive. The seed we offer is grown in the
north from seed imported by us, thus selling only seed
that is thoroughly acclimated. In appearance Silesian
Red Clover resembles the native red excepting that
blossoms when full grown are larger and contain more
seed when thoroughly ripe. In growth it differs vastly;
its roots penetrate deeper, thus producing more vitality
to the plant and giving it more sturdiness in growth
and resisting powers. Prepaid, lb. 30c; not prepaid,

duces 3 to 5 Cuttings a Year.

A perennial clover-like plant growing from 2 to 3
feet high adapted especially to dry climates and soils.
It resembles clover in habit of growth and feeding
value, but withstands drought much better. Alfalfa
thrives on light, sandy, and loamy soils, making rapid
early growth, and yielding immense crops, nutritive
food for cattle. When once established it furnishes
each season, from 3 to 5 cuttings of forage which cures
into excellent hay. It gathers largely of nitrogen from
the air and lower soil, and is therefore very yaluable
in rotations as a soil enricher. Sow from 15 to 25 lbs.
per acre. 4

For Permanent Meadows and Pastures.

The special mixtures which we offer are the results of many years of experience and careful experiment,
and we are constantly benefiting by our experience in improving the combinations of the different mixtures offer-

ed, as the grasses prove more successful in different mixtures on various soils.

roi

We are always glad to give our

eustomers the benefit of our knowledge and experience in these matters, and will cheerfully take pleasure in ad-

vising them as to their soils and purposes, if they will correspond with us in regard to same.

We have in the

following mixtures combined grasses suitable for the various soils and use for which they are recommended. The
different mixtures are prepared both as to quantity and varieties best adapted to the soils and situation for

which they are recommended.

Wernich’s Lawn Grass Mixtures.

the ground must be kept moderately moist when sowing is done.

HOW TO SECURE A GOOD LAWN.

The principal features to secure a good lawn are: VFirst, a rich, well drained soil; second, careful prepara-
tion of the ground, making it as fine, smooth and mellow as possible; third, a wise selection of seeds; fourth,
sowing at such a time as to give the young plant time to become well established before being subject to very
dry or very cold weather. Seeding may be done in spring or fall. If done during the hot months of summer,
With the ground prepared well, let the sur-
face be gone over with a fine rake, and the seed evenly scattered, after which carefully rake or brush the seed

in and follow with a roller.

The Special Mixtures here offered have been prepared with a view to overcoming difficulties that have hith-
erto existed in getting grass to grow on steep slopes, in the shade, ete., where the grasses ordinarily used would

mot succeed.

i

| The “Out O’ Sight Mole Trap” has many advantages over all others. ‘ N
set without danger to operator, can be used in hot beds on account of its height, pedal can be set so sensi-

It will catch when others fail. Full particulars with each Trap.

It is designed and built right, easy

tive that it is impossible for the mole to pass under the trap without being caught.

Comet or Poodle Asters.

ASTERS.

Asters may be sown in the open
ground after danger from frost is
past. Stronger plants and earlier
flowers can be obtained by sowing
in a light window, hot bed or green-
house. They require rich, loamy
soil, and in dry weather should be
muleched with well rotted manure to
produce large flowers, yet they will
succeed admirably in the most ordi-
mary garden soil. H. A.

This is one of the best semi-dwarf| #

Asters in existence. The flowers are
very large, are borne on upright
stems, are of ideal form, and the col-
ors are of the richest and daintest
hues. There are color combinations

This is a strong grower and haying
a tendency to form numerous

than the ordinary Aster. The plant
continues to grow later in the sea-

blooms correspondingly late, thus
giving its.crop of flowers in late

Wernich’s Prize. We have no
hesitancy in pronouncing this strain
the finest in cultivation. The flowers
are very large, measuring from two
to three inches in diameter, of per-
fect form, resembling the flower of
the Camelia, and are as double. In
fact. the petals are so densely pro-
duced that the yield of seed is ex-
tremely small, one single plant often
producing not more than five seeds.

WERNICH’S
Sweet Peas.

fou 30 GRAND NAMED SORTS.

A Few Rules for the Successful Cultivation of Sweet Peas.

WERNICH SEED CO., MILWAUKEE, WIS.

Aw

The plants should not be raised for two successive sea-
& sons on the same ground. Neither should they be planted
*% on the same ground after culinary peas.

Manuring with stable manure in the row immediately before sowing the
seed is not desirable. Ground intended for sweet peas, if not left in
good condition after taking the last crop, will be better for manuring
the previous Fall rather than at the Spring Seeding.

The use of artificial fertilizers, bone meal, nitrate of soda, ete., can be
made in Spring at the time of planting or soon after.

Thin sowing, by which is meant planting the seeds from four to six
inches apart, is conducive to vigor and strength of the plants which come
later into bloom, but continue much longer than the plants from thick

seeding.

Freauent stirring of the soil with hoe or cultivator in dry weather,
thus producing a dust mulch, is preferable to artificial watering, unless
irrigating facilities afford opportunities for a regular and abundant supply

of water.

Do not allow any flowers to go to seed else the plants will stop bloom-

THE HUMPHREY PURE AIR

- BROODER.
Formerly Called the Up-to-date.
One that will Raise Chickens Outdoors
as Well as indoors.

The Humphrey Pure Air or Up to-date Brooder is just
what its name implies. It is 34x70 inches, inside meas-
urement, giving a brooder room 34x36 inches and a play
room 34x34 inches. It is built of the best material and
paper lined. The Hover is made of galvanized iron, 28
inches in diameter by 1%, inches thick. The heating sys-
tem is such that it prevents any cold corners and fur- j : =
nishes an abundant supply of heat which is regulated by pee RSIS Coa,
means of a disk regulator, a marvel of sensitiveness and accuracy which will keep the temperature under the
hover within 3 to 5 degrees of the same temperature all the time. In zero weather no trouble is experienced to
keep the temperature under the hover from 90 to 100 degrees. All fumes and smoke from the lamp are earried
through a chimney direct through to the open air, a feature not found in any other brooder. A constant sup-
ply of fresh air is brought in in a steady stream from the outside in two pipes, which extend to each side of the
Brooder. This air after becoming thoroughly heated, is discharged just under the hover over the heads of the
chicks. There is a glass door 6x10 inches on both sides of the Brooder through which the regulator ean be ad-
justed. A glass 5 inches square is placed just under the the outer edge of the hover (leaving a place in the cur-
tain to suit) through which one can see the chicks and how they are doing and read the thermometer without open-
ing the door at all. Double curtains are suspended from the hover and one to divide the play room from the
brooder room, besides an extra board on hinges to be let down very cold nights ‘between the two rooms. Ven-
tilation holes with adjustable covers are provided for up in the very peak of the brooder room and play room.
The floor of the play room is 3 inches lower than the brooder room; the roof has a glass down the center 12x24
inches, furnishing sunlight and leaving 12 inches shade om each isde and 8 inches at the bottom, thus providing
the three important elements of nature necessary for life, viz., light sun and shade. For further information
regarding this brooder, write for special circular. Weight, 240 lbs. Price, f. 0. b. factory, $16.00.

PEEP-O’-DAY COOP No. 1.

This is a setting coop and» run combined. The hen is set in
the coop, and can exercise in the run. The food and water are set
‘outside, and are reached by the hen through the openings in the
front. After hatching, it makes an eycellent chicken coop, as the
chicks can run out while the hen is confined to the run. It gives
perfect protection against storm and animals.
Specifications:—Size of coop, 18 inches square by 18 inehes
high. Run, 18 inches by 24 inches. Floor, cover and top of run
“ are removable. They are made of white pine and neatly painted.
\\ Shipped ‘‘knocked down.’’ The coop is put together with 12
' screws. Weight, about 30 lbs., Price, $2.00.

~PEEP-O’-DAY COOP No. 2.

This coop is for a brood of 30 chickens after they have left the brooder;
it is also used for a roosting coop. It is a coop that is well ventilated, yet can
be closed, giving perfect protection against storms and chick enemies. It is
a coop that can be used early and late in the season.

Specifications:—Size, 4,feet long by 3 feet high by 3 feet wide. It is made
of white pine, and neatly painted. A good-sized window forms the door,
with a hooded ventilator above it. It has two 4foot roosts. Shipped ‘‘knocked
down,’’ and is put together with 12 screws. Weight, 60 lbs.

LEWIS FOUNDATION FASTENER.

The Lewis Foundation Fastener has been on the market
for three seasons, and is, without doubt, the simplest and best
device for the purpose ever offered to the beekeeper. The
machine can be securely fastened to a wall or table, thus
materially assisting in the work and ayoiding the danger of
overturning the lamp, and the foundation can be easily, ac-
curately and securely fastened..It can be adjusted for any
style and width of section.

As the shelf can be adjusted for any ordinary lamp, we furnish the machine with-
outlamps. Each machine is securely packed for shipment, and furnished with full
directions.

IMPROVED CORNEIL
SMOKER.

The Improved Corneil Smoker, with its new snout,
is amost decided improvement over the old one. Lhe
old nozzle, or snout, was somewhat top-heavy, having
? ti a tendency to tip over. The new one is not only neat 1n
“appearance, but will hold its position on top of the stove without danger of toppling over. Like
the last-year pattern of nozzle, it is hinged for convenience in opening and closing, but in front
instead of the rear, as before. See dotted line. A very neat wire-coil handle, which will re-
main cool under any circumstances, is riveted securely in place on the back side of the snout ata
point that is most convenient for lifting and shutting the cap. The legs are of skeleton sheet-
metal stamping, extremely light in weight, but very strong and rigid. They are riveted to the
stove and bolted to the bellows-board. The blast is the same well-known Corneil principle, in-
yolving the use of a supplementary tube by which the volume of the blast is increased. The bel-
lows itself is metal-bound, thereby strengthening this portion. — Wien
We furnish three sizes of this smoker, viz.: Jumbo with 4inch stove, Standard with 34-inch
stove, and a Junior with 2% inch stove,

Weight, Boxed, 65 Ibs. Price, $17.00.

‘Although a tool designed to do so much, it is perfectly simple, light of draught, ~
strong, and perfection in the quality of work done by it.

The Opening Plows of the Fertilizer Distributor are made of such shape as to
encase the two fertilizer distributing tubes (one in each plow) leading from the Fer-
tilizer Hopper. These plows are adjustable in depth and width, which allows the
adjustment of the depth at which the fertilizer is sown and allows its distribution
in narrow streams at different distances. The Plows are immediately followed by
the coverers, which draw the soil over the fertilizer
just deposited.

The Fertilizer Distributor is thoroughly reliable in its
distribution of fertilizer. It contains a force feed device
which prevents stoppage by small lumps.

The Seed Sowing Device is practically the same as
used on our Nos. 6 and 15 Combined Seed Drills. The
seed may be sown in rows-or dropped in hills at 4, 6, 8,
12 to 24 inches apart.

Barrel Cart with Lever Clock Pump.

For spraying orchards, a Spray Pump that can be
placed on any ordinary oil or whiskey barrel makes a
convenient and cheap outfit. The apparatus may then
be placed on a wagon or attached to our Barrel Cart, as
shown in the cut. In placing it on a wagon, the great-
est economy of time may be obtained when two persons
are engaged in spraying, one to drive and the other to
do the spraying. By using the Barrel Cart only one
verson is necessary.
