VEGETABLE 
SEEDS (or 
Fall Plantins 
Fall is the proper time to sow seeds of 
many vegetables in order to provide vege¬ 
tables for the table during fall, winter, and 
early spring—a time when they are most 
desired. October, November and December 
are good months to plant garden peas.

ONION SETS 
Onion Sets are miniature onion bulbs 
(about the size of marbles). These are plant¬ 
ed for a quick supply as the little bulbs or 
sets produce green onions much quicker 
than seed. Lb. 25 cts., 10 lbs. $1.75. 
Instructions for Fall Planting 
of Bulbs 
Outdoor Planting. Bulbs which are to bloom in 
late winter and early spring should be planted from 
October 1 to January 1. Our personal preference 
is November 15 to December 15. Plant in deep, 
rich soil, or soil that has been fertilized with well- 
rotted manure. Cow-manure is preferable if it can 
be obtained. Do not, under any circumstances, use 
fresh manure and have it come in contact with the 
bulbs, as it is injurious. Place the bulbs (except 
the small ones, such as Crocuses) with the crowns 
3 to 4 inches below the surface of the soil. After 
planting, firm the soil. 
Forcing in Pots. In potting, use light, rich, 
rather sandy soil. A combination of about one- 
third each of sand, top-soil from an old pasture, 
and well-rotted cow-manure makes the best potting 
soil. In planting the bulb leave about one-third of 
the bulb above the surface of soil. Then plunge the 
pots about 6 Inches deep in sandy soil, or put away 
in a cellar or dark closet for five to six weeks. 
Keep moist, but not wet. At the end of six weeks 
the bulbs will be well rooted and, when pots are 
placed in a warm, sunny situation, they will come 
into bloom rapidly. Dutch Hyacinths and Paper- 
White Narcissi are especially valuable for this 
purpose. 
Water Culture. This method of growing bulbs is 
always interesting. Single Hyacinths are easily 
grown in glasses of water, and special Hyacinth 
Glasses can be purchased from us at 40 cts. to 50 
cts. each. Fill with fresh, pure water and place the 
bulb in the cup-shaped receptacle on top of the 
glass. The water should barely reach the roots of 
the bulb. Put in a cool, dark, airy place, until the 
roots have grown to the bottom of the vase. As the 
water evaporates, fill the vase, and change the 
water occasionally in order to keep it pure and 
fresh. After the bulb has made sufficient roots, 
place the vase in a light, cool room until the foli¬ 
age is well developed, after which it may be put in 
a light, sunny window, soon after which the flow¬ 
ers will appear. Narcissi and Sacred Lilies may 
all be grown in bowls of water partly filled with 
pebbles and sand.

be used on lawns, shrubs, bulbs, sweet 
peas, etc. It is easily applied and free 
from weeds. A 25-pound bag will give

35 feet) of lawn one application. In¬
