PLANTS, ROOTS, and 



FROST-PROOF CABBAGE 

 PLANTS 



Will mature heads two to three weeks earlier than 

 your home-grown plants 



Early Jersey Wakefield, Charleston 

 Wakefield, Succession, and Early Flat 

 Dutch. (Copenhagen Market ready about 

 AprU 1.) 



These plants are grown in the open field 

 during the fall and winter months, which 

 causes them to make a slow, tough, hardy 

 growth — so hardy that the outer leaves turn 

 to a reddish brown. They can safely be 

 shipped to distant points and should be 

 planted in the open ground from four to five 

 weeks earlier than frame plants. 



They will stand a temperature of 10 to 15 

 degrees above zero without injury. Will do 

 very much better planted early, as they will 

 take root and start to grow as soon as warm 

 weather sets in. 



Orders filled from December 1 until May 1. We 

 do not advise planting later than this time. 



Prices by Parcel Post, postage paid. In lots of 

 100 to 300 plants, 45 cts. per 100; $1.50 for 500; 

 1,000 or more, $2.25 per 1,000. 



Orders are filled by the 100, not 250 or 350. 

 These prices are for even quantities of one 

 variety to package; if you order 200 of one 

 variety and 300 of another variety you would 

 pay at the 100 rate. 



Prices by Express (buyer paying Express 

 charges), in lots of 1,000 to 4,000 plants, 

 $1.25 per 1,000; 5,000 or more at SI per 

 1,000. Plants packed for Express shipment, 

 1,000 or 2,000 plants of a variety to package, 

 weigh about 25 pounds per 1,000.

Strawberry Plants 



Early spring, about March or April, is the 

 most logical time (for Maryland) to trans- 

 plant Strawberry Plants. They will grow in 

 light sandy soil and heavy clay soil, respond- 

 ing readily to fertile and well-drained soils. 

 Give plenty of moisture when fruiting. 



Stable or barnyard manure will help them 

 to give best results. When plants arrive, 

 if dry, dip in water, allowing to "plump up," 

 before sotting out. Plant in rows, 3J^ to 4 

 feet apart, with plants set 15 to 24 inches 

 apart in the row. In winter cover with straw, 

 and in early spring remove from plants and 

 allow it to remain on ground as a mulch. 



We offer the following best and standard 

 sorts: 



Dorsett. New. Early. Vigorous and pro- 

 ductive. Medium light in color and retains 

 its lightness. $1 for 50; $1.65 per 100. 



Fairfax. New. Early. Productive and 

 vigorous. Medium dark, turning darker, 

 almost to purple before wilting. $1 for 50; 

 $1.65 per 100.

Add 10 cts. per 100 for postage 



GERMACO HOTKAPS 



Besides protecting the plant from the 

 elements and from insects, "Hotkaps" are 

 worth their cost alone because they aid in 

 maturing crops earUer. That is the all- 

 important thing to the grower, for it means 

 that he can be first to market and so com- 

 mand a better price for his crop.

ASPARAGUS ROOTS 



A saving of one to two years is effected by 

 planting roots. A bed 12 by 40 feet, requiring 

 about 100 roots, should give a sufficient 

 supply for an ordinary family; 8,000 roots 

 •n-ill plant an acre. Select good, loamy soil, 

 plow deeply, put in a good quantity of 

 manure and 100 pounds Kainit to 1,000 

 square feet of bed. Incorporate thoroughly, 

 make a trench 8 inches deep, and set plants 

 15 inches apart. In field-culture, rows are 

 placed 4 feet apart. 



Mary Washington. (Rustproof.) By far 

 the best. Early and vigorous. Firm and 

 tender roots, richly flavored. $1.25 per 

 100; S9.50 per 1,000. Postage, 10 cts. per 

 100, extra. 



RHUBARB ROOTS 



Set in the spring. Rhubarb Roots will give 

 delicious stalks the following spring. When 

 setting the roots, place crowns 2 inches under 

 the soil and set 3 by 4 feet apart. Give a 

 liberal dressing of manure each spring. If 

 possible, plant where soil is continuously 

 moist. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. Postage, 

 on one to three roots, 10 cts., extra.

GATOR-HIDE MULCH 

 PAPER 



One of the toughest, strongest, most dur- 

 able Papers made. It is impregnated by a 

 special process with a particular grade of 

 asphaltum which has no harmful effect on 

 soil or plant-life. 



Unrolled over the proposed plant-beds, 

 and anchored by soil or other available mate- 

 rial along the edges, Gator-Hide Mulch 

 Paper imprisons all the moisture in the soil. 

 Its black surface catches and retains the 

 sun's heat. This raises the soil's temperature, 

 prevents cooling at night, and promotes con- 

 tinuous bacterial activity, Uberating, night 

 and day, nitrous food matter for the plant, 

 producing bigger, better, and earlier crops. 



Planting is done through holes made in 

 the paper, or in the space between two strips 

 of paper rolled out close together. Thus, 

 while ample space is provided for the plant, 

 no space is left for weeds, and the nourish- 

 ment they ordinarily steal from the soU is 

 conserved for the crops you plant.
