A REMINDERI 



CIt is time to sow seed of Snapdragons for summer flowering^. 

 Plants will now grow more rapidly, keep ahead of disease and 

 soon make choice stock for benching or bedding. It doesn't pay to 

 use stunted or hard-stemmed plants. Our several varieties are 

 the best that grow. Choice seed of our original Silver Pink at 

 $1.00 per pkt.; 3 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. Seed of Nelrose, Garnet, 

 White, Yellow, Buxton and fancy mixed, 35c per pkt.; :\ for $1.00. 



<I.Splendid plants of all of the above varieties, $5.00 per 100; $45.00 

 per 1000. Free cultural directions. All orders cash or C. 0. D. 



CWe grow Snapdragons, but other good things that we have are 

 Dirt Bands and Pots. See our ad of Bands on page 106.

it is a necessary one. A number of 

 seedsmen who have well constructed 

 seed houses report that they find the 

 early picked seed tests satisfactory, but 

 the seed picked later, even if properly 

 dried, is unsatisfactory. One test in 

 northeastern Nebraska showed ninety 

 per cent of the early field-picked seed to 

 be good, while only sixty-eight per cent 

 of the crib-selected seed germinated. 

 In many sections of northern Iowa and 

 Illinois the percentage of good seed is 

 much lower, even when the seed was 

 picked before frost and properly dried, 

 while seed picked from the wagon at 

 husking time, or from the crib, is prac- 

 tically worthless as seed. One reason 

 for this is that many farmers in this 

 section are raising corn of a large va- 

 riety which requires a full growing 

 season, and this corn did not ripen be- 

 fore the early frosts.

each ear is simply good insurance. One 

 ear of corn will produce about five 

 bushels if all the grains grow. With 

 corn at 60 cents a bushel, planting a 

 dead ear or an ear that will produce 

 only weak, unproductive stalks, means 

 a loss of $3. If you catch only one
