STRAWBERRY SHOCKS or DIRT BANDS 



Spanish Peanuts 



STRAWBERRY SHOCKS OR DIRT BANDS. Eggplants, Muskmelons 

 and Early Cucumbers pay well if they come early into the market. 

 In order to have them early, it is a good plan to start them in a cold 

 frame in what are called ''Dirt Bands." This is a box 4 inches 

 square and 4 inches deep, without bottoms. These are placed in a frame and filled up with good rich soil, and five or six 

 seeds in each box. When the plants come up, thin them out to one or two in each box. Before using dirt bands, wet 

 them thoroughly before bending or they will be apt to break at the grooves, as they are made of thin veneered wood. 

 60c per 100; $3.00 per 1000, not prepaid. Tacks for Dirt Bands and Boxes, 1/4 lb. 15c; lb. 50c, postpaid.

CROTALARIA SPECTABILIS 



World's Best Cover Crop. Build up your soil with this new Legume. This new legume produces more humis and more 

 nitrogen per acre than any other crop. It is not a pest and can be easily eradicated and reseeds itself each year under 

 favorable conditions. It is used as a summer cover crop and soil builder in groves, orchard.s, vineyards, etc. Livestock 

 will not eat it, therefore you will not be tempted to cut it for hay when your ground needs it so badly. Tliis should be 

 planted as soon as danger of frost is past and at a time when there is plenty of moisture in the soil, and can be planted 

 as late as July, either broadcast or drilled. Ten pounds of seed is required per acre for bmaiii-astino' arxl J^nlf of that 

 amount if drilled. Grows from 5 to 10 feet depending entirely on the locality. Price: 30c per lb; 5 lbs. $1.00, postpaid.
