PIONEER PEAT MOSS 
Many garden soils are rather heavy for 
flower and vegetable growing. If you have 
this condition in your garden, spread Pioneer 
Peat Moss to a thickness of 2 to 4” and work 
into the soil to a depth of 6 inches. Such an 
application loosens the soil and holds moisture 
in dry weather. Bales 40x21x19 inches, pro- 
tected by heavy asphalt paper and wooden 
veneer strips, weight approximately 100 Ibs. 
$5.25 per bale, not prepaid. 
Stapled Veneer Bands are much more satisfactory 
than clay pots in starting melon and squash 
plants. If soaked in a nitrate solution before 
using, the plants may be set in the field without 
removing the bands. This saves breakage of roots 
and loss of plants. 
STAPLED WOOD VENEER 
PLANT BANDS 
A heavy, well made plant band for use in 
starting melon, pepper, tomato, eggplant, etc. 
in greenhouse or coldframe. ‘These bands 
come packed flat but are stapled and are 
easily shaped by a pinch of the fingers. Band 
need not be removed when transplanted in 
field if bands have been soaked in a fertilizer 
solution such as Takehold as is described 
above. Full instructions with every order.

FERTILE POTS FOR BETTER, EARLIER CROPS 
These manure pots are now better than ever due to a change in 
their composition which insures a more even plant growth. 
Plants raised in them can be set out in the field without any 
check of growth, the pots furnishing plant food as they break 
down in the soil. By setting the pot and all in the field a great 
deal of labor is saved.

The Farmer Seeder can be used for broadcasting 
any type of seed. Can be mounted on tractor, 
truck, or even the bumper of your pickup or car. 
FARMER BROADCAST SEEDER 
All-Electric 
For several years we have been looking for 
a good power-operated broadcast seeder to 
sow Domestic Rye Grass for a cover crop at 
the last cultivation of corn, tomatoes, cabbage 
and other crops. The Farmer Broadcast Seed- 
er we believe is the answer to the problem for 
it will sow any seed or grain that can be 
broadcast — it is a good buy for any farm. 
The Farmer Seeder and agitator are power- 
ed from your car, truck or tractor battery; 
comes complete with two individual electric 
motors, One to operate seeder and the other 
to operate the agitator. The Seeder does not 
throw seed or grain on your vehicle and can 
therefore be mounted on the front or rear of 
your car, truck or tractor. The Farmer Seeder 
features a sealed motor with thrust bearing. 
No chains, belts, pulleys, gears or sprockets to 
deal with — nothing to grease or oil. You can 
even bolt this Seeder to your farm wagon or 
trailer — then attach it to a 6 volt battery, and 
you are ready to go. Price $54.70, not prepaid. 
CYCLONE SEED SOWER 
For Sowing All Kinds of Seed Broadcast 
‘The Cyclone Seed Sow- 
er is known and used in 
most all countries of the 
world where seed is sown 
broadcast. Hundreds of 
thousands of farmers in 
America, Europe, Can- 
ada and elsewhere have 
relied on it for many 
years to rapidly and uniformly distribute 
alfalfa, clover, ryegrass and grains and seeds 
that are sown broadcast. 
The Cyclone Seeder is suspended by a web 
strap over the shoulder and hangs in the most 
convenient manner to carry and operate. Full 
directions for operating are attached to each 
machine. $4.30 delivered. 
TERRA-LITE—VERMICULITE 
The ideal seed starting and cutting rooting 
media, Vermiculite holds water like a sponge. 
Less frequent watering. Damping off of young 
seedlings reduced to a minimum. Transplant- 
ing of seedlings and cuttings made easier with 
Vermiculite. 34 lb. package 60¢, postpaid.
