Semesan Bel 
Insure high germination, reduce disease, 
and increase yield by using Semesan Bel. 
Scab, Rhizoctonia and black-leg are the 
bugbears of every potato grower. The old- 
fashioned method of disinfecting seed pota- 
toes with mercuric bichloride or formaldehyde 
is now a thing of the past. One pound of 
Semesan Bel will treat 60 to 80 bushels of cut 
potatoes. It also possesses greater disease- 
control properties, especially in respect to 
control of rhizoctonta and seed-borne scab. 
The instantaneous dip method of applying 
new Semesan Bel saves time and _ labor. 
Semesan Bel does not harm the seed pieces. 
3 ozs. $1.15; Ib. $3.60, postpaid. 
Use Semesan Bel and insure greater 
germination of your potatoes.

your garden that it pays to plant the very 
best. Make your time and labor count by

RHUBARB, 
Myatt’s 
Victoria 
RHUBARB or PIE-PLANT 
1 oz. will plant a row 100 ft. long; 
8 to 10 lbs. will plant an acre. 
CuLturRE: Sow from the middle of March 
to middle of May, tn deep rich ground, in 
drills a foot apart and 4% inch deep. When 
well up, thin to 6 inches apart. In the fall, 
trench a piece of ground at least two spades 
deep, manuring abundantly, and set the 
plants out 4 feet apart each way, covering 
with leaves or coarse manure. It is best not 
to gather many of the stalks the first season, 
and in the South it ts rarely successful except 
in shady situations. Perhaps the most profit- 
able plan for southern growers is to buy the 
roots, as offered below, setting them out in 
November, March or April. 
Myatt’s Victoria. (85 days.) Very large, 
and although somewhat later than other 
varieties, the best for general use. For the 
home garden, roots will be found much 
better than seeds. Pkt. 10c; oz. 45c; Ib. 
$1.10, postpaid. 
Rhubarb Roots. We can furnish fine Rhu- 
barb Roots in any quantity in either fall or 
spring, but as they are carried in stock only 
during March and April, orders at any 
other time of the year should be sent a 
week before roots are needed. One-year- 
old-roots, 40c each; $3.50 per doz., de- 
livered.
