To Our Friends and Patrons: For the thirty-third time in as many years, this Book—“Our Silent Salesman”—jis making its annual visit to each of our thousands of customers, with the Compliments of the Season, and the expressed wish that it will be a productive as well as a profitable one—and such it must be if geod seeds be sown. “Good Seeds Promote Long Friendship” is a saying that has proven itself true in our business, for there are names on our books, dating back over twenty years. It is always a pleasure to us during our busy spring season, when in going over our daily orders, to find the names of customers who have been buying our seeds almost annually since the first few years of existence of our business.. This loyalty on the part of such lifelong customers con- vinces us that the quality of our seeds has been appreciated, which is encouraging for us to go on, and,, if possible, to do even better than ever in their behalf. “Our Silent Salesman,” a Modest Catalogue with Honest Descriptions. Our Catalogue does not exaggerate. The illustrations are not misleading. The descriptions are true and say too little rather than too much. All the seeds we offer have been thoroughly tested. Our novelties are all of Known merit. We have no untried experiments for our customers, nothing to dis- appoint. We know our Seed Business thoroughly and pledge our reputation on whatever we teli you. ‘ We do not issue a special Market Gardeners list, instead we allow all Market Gardeners a discount of 10 per cent on Vegetable and Flower Seeds. In closing, we desire to state that we appreciate Early Orders and lots of them. Thanking you for your past patronage and hoping for a ecntinuance of same, we remain, Yours for “Good Seeds,” WERNICH SEED CO. A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER. ” ORDER EARLY—‘‘In time of winter prepare for spring. Order early, and have your seeds On hand when it is time to sow. ADDRESS—No matter how often you order, always give your Name, Postoffice, County and State in full.k When Freight or Express Office is different from Postoffice give both. REMITTANCES—Cash with Order. Remittances may be made at our risk by Draft, Money Order, or Cash by Express, or in registered letter. , SEEDS POSTPAID—We deliver free all Seeds, (Ozs., % Lbs., Lbs., Pints and Quarts), Plants, Bulbs, ete., at prices quoted, excepting where otherwise noted. SHIPPING—When customers do not state clearly how and where to ship, we use our own discretion. SAFE ARRIVAL—We endeavor to secure the safe arrival of packages in every case. If packages do not arrive in due time, please notify, and we will at once trace the same. Except where noted, we make no charge for packing. ERRORS—We are very careful in executing our Orders, yet in the rush of business in our busy season, errors sometimes occur, in which eyent we wish to be promptly notified, and we will rectify. GUARANTY—Complaints made that seeds are not good cannot always be attributed to the quality. There are hundreds of causes other than poor quality to prevent the best of seeds from always giving satisfaction; such as sowing too deep, too shallow, in too wet or too dry soil, insects of all descriptions destroying the plants as soon as or before they appear, wet or cold weather, frost changes in the seeds, induced by temperature, etc., therefore while we exercise the greatest care to have all seeds reliable we do not give any warranty, expressed or implied, and we will not in any way be responsible for the crop. SOIL. INOCULATION FOR ALFALFA We recommend the use of “NITRAGIN,” the Farmer’s Reliable Soil Inoculator for ALFALFA, CLOVERS, PEAS, BEANS, VETCH, Ete. Every farmer knows that the soil must be inoculated in order to get a “catch” of Alfalfa, Soy Beans, ete. The old method of soil transfer from old to new fields is expensive, cumber- some, unreliable and carries with it the danger of infecting new fields with dodder and blight, weed seeds and all kinds of parasites. The famous German Scientist, Prof. Hiltner, Dean of the Royal Agricultural Experiment Station, Munich, Germany, has invented a process which is called the “Nitragin’” method. This method is very practical, reliable, simple and inexpensive, insures results on any ordinary soil, increases the yield and improves the quality of the crop as well as of the land, and avoids the many dangers connected with the old method of soil transfer. Nitragin comes to the farmer in cans, in a powder, earthlike matter, ready for use, by express. One pound of Nitragin does better work than one ton of ordinary inoculated Alfalfa soil. Write for descriptive literature containing hundreds of testimonials from practical farmers, and opinions of the highest agricultural authorities of America and the old country. PRICES. Garden.

It is the largest, most solid and compact of all red varieties, sure heading and tender. The heads do not crack, and even in late spring, when all other varieties have bursted, the heads of the “Danish Stonehead” keep hard and sound. We consider it a great improvement upon all ex- isting sorts; bound to give the greatest satisfaction in every case, and therefore we highly recommend it.

Undoubtedly the best carrot for general crop and es- teemed by market gardeners for its handsome tapering form and rich dark orange color. The seed we offer is grown from carefully selected stock. Wernich’s Improv- ed Danvers is far superior to the well-known Danvers in shape, color and general appearance, while the flesh is tender and sweet. It is almost entirely free from core, and as a cropper outyields all Carrots we know of. An excellent bunching carrot for market. Will grow on all kinds of soil, and as a keeper has no equal.

Nothing like it has ever been described, being wholly new to botanists, collectors, mae seedsmen and florists. This most graceful Godetia of a ; AY, color unknown before, will be a surprise to botanists and ty" growers alike. During the first of the season it is trail- e ing; when commencing to bloom the plants become up- hal) i right, attaining a height of two feet, otherwise the habit (i is like some of our most graceful North American species. i EM.

The original Danish Ballhea@d Cabbage (first introduced by us & twenty-three years ago) is esteemed for the extreme solidity and great q weight of the heads as well as for its superior keeping qualities, but it — can be grown most successfully only in a comparatively cool location Danish “Roundhead” has less outer foliage and is better able to resist blight, being, in most sections, as vigorous in growth as th + best Amer- ican types. The heads average larger and mature nearly two weeks earlier, ‘The heads are unusually solid, and beautifully white when trimmed. They are splendid keepers when stored away for the late winter and spring, at which time the fine heads bring the highest mar- ket price. Crop short.

The growth is similar to that of Burpee’s Best-Early, but with heav- ier foliage, and less liable to blight — in hot weather.

In England it is the most popular large Onion grown. To attain its largest size it sho . be sown early in the spring in the hot-bed and later transplanted to open ground. . 7? dae The Onion is very productive, is a good keeper for a large onion, and for those who like an onion raw we highly recommend it on account of its mild and acceptable pungent flavor.

These stalks are delicious when cooked and should be served in the same manner as stewed celery or asparagus. The leaf portion of the “Giant Lucullus” is heavily crumpled or savoyed and is very crisp and tender. The leafy portion of the foliage is cooked and served in the same manner as spinach.

DAVIS PERFECT CUCUMBER. § This very desirable new sort, originated with one of the largest market gardeners near Grand Rapids, Mich. In color, @ dark, glossy green; shape, slim and symmetrical, with an average length of ten to twelve inches. They hold their color until nearly ripe when they turn white. The quality is fine, as the seeds are very soft when: the cucumber is fit for table use, is very tender and brittle and of exceedingly good flavor. An- other strong point of merit is its splendid shipping qualities. It seems to hold its color and brittleness long after being cut. On account of its being such a strong grower it is able to resist the cucumber disease, which works destruction’ among so many of the best forcing varieties. It is as early as the earliest strain of White Spine and it out-yields by far this standard sort. ePktt 5c; oz. 15¢e;) te ulb: 80c; Lb. $215. * ary" aK" f. he ae ak 4 . if ‘ Davis Perfect Cucumber.

Head Lettuce ‘‘Ideal.’’ What the May King Lettuce, which we introduced last season, has proven itself for garden and freeland culture, namely, that it is by far the best for such pur- poses, that is this new head lettuce ‘Ileal’ for forc- ing, because it is 8 days earlier than the celebrated “Kaiser” Forcing Lettuce, and consequently the very earliest of all forcing lettuces. Notwithstanding this fact,-the head is very firm and of the most exquisite quality. The heads are of such well rounded and per- fect shape that it is a delight to look at a bed where the Ideal lettuce is grown. The leaves are light green, with delicate ribs and lightly waved; the interior is of a clear yellow, very tender and of fine flavor. Price, package 10c. CHRISTMAS PEPPER The plants grow about 12 to 15 inches high and are covered with scarlet fruit, Which stays on for months. It is a selection from the Celestial Pepper, but it is entirely distinct from it, the fruit is smaller, and the plants grow more compact, while the fruit is borne right above the foliage, and there- fore present themselves to the best advantage.

It grows well if sown in the open ground in March or April, where it is to bloom, but it may also be sown in frames and transplanted later into the garden or pots, and if sown in August or Sep- tember, several plants together in a pot, cultivated in a coo} greenhouse or conservatory, they will make a splendid show in the winter.

PEEP O’DAY Tie Sensolionally EARLY NEW SHEET CORN Ten Days to Two Weeks Earlier than any other sort, and the : Sweetest of all Sweet Coern. : So marked is its sweetness and delicacy of flavor, that many of our customers who have been in the habit of planting several varieties to secure a succession, now plant Peep O’ Day exclu- sively, arranging the plantings a few days apart so as to have this delicious corn throughout the entire season. Another point of great importance is the wonderful productive- ness of Peep O’ Day. The early varieties of sweet corn do not as a rule yield as heavily as the late sorts, but Peep O’ Day not only surpasses in- this particular all other early varieties, but all late varieties as well; in fact our crops of Peep 0” Day have given us for three successive years almost double the yield per acre of any other. Incredible as this may seem, it is readily accounted for by the fact that the stalks bear from two to five ears each and the growth being dwarf—about 4 feet—admits of very close_planting.

The seed should be planted where the ground has become warm, in hills six feet apart each way. Old, well-rotted manure should be thoroughly mixed with the soil in each hill; six to ten seeds in the hill; finally, when danger from insects is passed, leave three or four of the strongest plants only. If the plants grow very rank, the tips of the strongest shoots should be pinched off when about three feet long; also if the fruit is excessive, they may be thinned out, which will cause the melons to ripen earlier and increase the size of the fruit. Cultivate thoroughly and often. One ounce of seed for sixty hills; two or three pounds to an acre. BURRELL GEM MUSKMELON __ ho The New Rockyford Cantaloupe with Golden Meat, Mr. Burrell, the originator of this melon, writes about it as follows: “The Burrell Gem is a combination of the characteristics of the following varieties: Osage, Defender, Rockyford and Acme, and more particularly the Defender and Acme.. It has a tough, thin rind, well arched’ ribs covered with a closely laced and interlaced gray netting. Shape, quite elongated—the diameter from stem to blossom being one- third more than from top to bottom. Meat, of a reddish orange, very thick, fine grained and spicy. Seed cavity small and triangular, the seed closely held in place in three lobes.”’ The average weight is 2% lbs., the length 6 inches, and the thickness 4% inches. The demand for them is established, and the planter who grows them will have an inside chance with the trade.

About the middle of May the plants may be set in the open ground; they are planted for early crops on light sandy soil, at a distance of three feet apart, in hills in which a good shovelful of rotten manure has been mixed. On heavy soils, which are not suited for an early crop, they should be planted four feet apart. Water freely at the time of transplanting, and shel- ter from the sun for a few days until the f plants are established. One ounce will pro- duce about 2,000 plants. “LIVINGSTON’S NEW GLOBE”. This tomato is of beautiful globe shape, with quite a percentage of elongated (stem to blossom) fruits, which permits of a greater number of slices being taken than with the flat fruited sort.

DWARF STONE TOMATO. In habit of vine it/resembles Dwarf Champion, but is of stronger growth and more erect. The fruit resembles the’ Stone in color, shape and what is more remarkable, for an erect sort, it is practically the same size. Ten fruits picked from one vine at same time weighed five pounds three ounces. Five fruits selected by eye for average size weighed two pounds nine ounces. This was under field cultivation on farm land, with no fertilizer. Specimens weighing one pound each are quite common. The new Dwarf Stone is fully double the size of Dwarf Champion, and yet equally as early. It is fully as prolific, and conse- quently vastly more productive. The strong upright habit of growth of the Dwarf Stone admits of very close plant- ing, at least-a half closer each way than the distance re- quired for the ordinary vining varieties. The shape of the fruit is perfect, with a good skin, which is free from cracks about the stem end. It is very solid, ripens very evenly, and is of the most excellent quality.

This yield is exceptionally good-for Wis- consin, being twice the average yield of the state. Some members of the association received as many as 80 and 90 bushels.” H. A. Main, Ft.

There are § frequently 3 to 7 ears to the stalk, being 8 to.10 inches long, and of the most clear snowy white color. It is of excellent quality when used on the table like sweet corn, yielding, of course, a much larger crop, and when dry and ground makes | the cleanest, finest, whitest meal you ever saw. It will rise like wheat flour, and can be used in bread, biscuits, cakes, and is therefore sometimes called Flour Corn.

This plant is a native of Russia and extremely hardy, growing well during the cool weather of our early spring and late fall months. The plants are quite small and slender at first, but with sufficient moisture soon grow vigor- ously. It is excellent for forage, being readily eaten by all kinds of stock, either in the green state or cured for hay. The plant is of strong, running growth, with very abundant foliage, and if wanted for hay should be slowly dried in cocks to prevent the leaves from falling off. A nice hog pasture can be produced in a few months by making a sowing of these Vetches early in April. Sowings made in August or September withstand easily oyr North- western winters and will furnish a handsome crop of green fodder by the end of April, which, on good land, has equalled 15 tons green forage per acre. It is especially adapted for light, sandy soils and exposed hills, making an excellent cover crop :to prevent the soil from washing during heavy, CONTINUOUS FODDER MIXTURE. Farmer, Dairyman or Stockraiser. Mixture is com- posed of oats, St. John’s Rye and Vetches. It can be sown at intervals which will fur- nish a continuous supply of fodder throughout the sea- son. Invaluable as a catch crop after Winter Grain has been cut, there is nothing rains, but does not sueceed well in low, wet soils. The plant is a legume or nitrogen gatherer, and one of the best to plow under to enrich the soil. Sow 2 bu. per acre, broadcast, early in the spring, harrow- ing the soil in lightly.

The seed can be sown early in April or any time thereafter until mid-summer, The plants grow# to a height of 3 to 4 feet, and are so covered with small whorls of leaves that the name Thousand-Headed Kale has been given it.. It will yield a larger crop than the Dwarf Es- sex Rape, as it branches out from the bottom and grows & very rapidly. It is greatly rel- YY ished by hogs, cattle and sheep. 8 The plant, is not affected by drought and flourishes in all kinds of soil. In England this seed is being sown broadcast on pastures with grass_. seeds, using about one pound of seed per acre; if sown alone three pounds per acre. 100,000 POUNDS PER ACRE. One of the largest sheep growers in England says about Thousand-Headed Kale, nie plant annually 100 acres of Thousand-Headed Kale. I have repeatedly estimated a yield of 100,000 lbs. of green food pér annum from one acre of Thou- sand-Headed Kale. Shéep will eat the plant apparently clean, when a week afterwards it is again in full glory and sheep ean be turned on, and this can be repeated time and time again.

Its roots penetrate the soil thirty feet, which enables it to withstand great extremes of cold and drouth. It has double the feeding value of Alfalfa, a crop richer than Red Clover. It will last fifty years without manure and without reseeding. It will cut eight tons of hay per acre in a season. When established, a field of it will fatten hogs without corn. The plants grow very little above ground the first year, but the roots make rapid growth. The second year the top thickens g¢ up, and the third year the plant is matured. The seed requires ¢ several weeks to germinate. Sow in April or May on well pre-/// pared ground in drills about one to two feet apart, seeds about one y to two inches deep, about two inches apart in drills and cover well; keep well cleaned from weeds afterwards.

Great Forage Plant and Soil Renovator. | Soy Beans are coming more and more into favor with leading farmers and dairymen all through the northern states. They have a double value. First, they contain a very large amount of protein and are great for feed, both as a green forage plant and as dry beans and, second, they are, like clover, nitrogen gatherers and enrich the soil wherever grown. They are specially fine for poor and sandy soils. One of our growers in central Wisconsin says: “I consider them the greatest boon that has struck sandy farms in years.” The Culture is not difficult. Sow just after corn planting, when the ground is warm, in drills 30 inches apart and 3 4 inches apart in the drill. From one to two pecks will seed an acre. When desired for hay, cut when the pods are partly developed. Soy beans mixed with corn make a splendid silage. Every man who has a silo, try them.

It is an undisputed and acknowledged fact that Medium Red or June Clover is by far the most im- portant of all Clovers for practical purposes. Ex- perience, however, has proven that it suffers easily from drought and frost, which has been more no- ticeable the last few years in our Northern climate en account of our hot and dry summers and severe winters. Drought and frost will not easily affect the Wernich’s Ideal Red Clover, which has proven to be more Drought Defying and Frost Resisting. It has become so widely known for its purity strong vitality, hardiness, vigorous and healthy growth, and stooling qualities, that we now re- ceive orders from all over the United States and Canada where clover is sown. The seed we offer is grown in the north, thus selling only seed that is thoroughly acclimated. The blossoms when full grown are larger. and contain more seed when thoroughly ripe than those of thé ordinary Red Clover. Its roots penetrate deeper, thus’ produc- ing more vitality to the plant and giving it more sturdiness and growth and resisting powers. Pre- paid, lb. 385e.

(Medicago Sativa) A perennial clover-like plant growing from 2 to 3 feet high, adapted especially to dry climates and soils. It resembles clover in habit of growth and feeding value, but withstands drought much better. Alfalfa thrives on sandy loam, yielding immense crops, nutritious food for cattle. When once established it furnishes each season from 3 to 5 cuttings of forage which cures into excellent hay. It gathers largely of nitrogen from the air and lower soil, and is therefore very valuable in rota- tions as a soil enricher. Sow from 15 to 25 lbs. per acre. . e Wernich’s “Ideal” Alfalfa.

(Medicago Sativa Var. Turkestanica.) Perfectly hardy, withstands drought, heat and cold. It is a native of Russia Turkestan, and was discovered by Prof. N. E. Hansen while on an exploring expedition in that country for the Department of Agriculture, Washington. The climate of Turkes- tan is not unlike that of our interior states, being far removed from the ocean and surrounded by wide expanses of dry land. The ‘summers are very hot and long, and in many places the evapora- tion exceeds the quantity of moisture that has fallen during the year. The inhabitants are principally engaged in Stock Raising, and here it is that this valuable new addition to our Clover family * grows and flourishes. WITHSTANDS EXTREME COLD WITHOUT INJURY.

Or ~ oe Wernich’s Special Grass Mixtures. i It is a well established fact that a judiciously selected mixture of several varieties of Grass and _ Clover Seeds will produce a much larger yield—generally again as much per acre than can be obtained - with only one or two kinds sown alone. In sowing a larger variety you are not running the risk of not securing a stand at all as you would by sowing one or two kinds only, for in a larger variety there must be at least several kinds of grasses adapted to your soil, while if you sow one kind this may not be at all adapted and consequently no result. A pasture with a variety of grasses and clover is again as productive and earlier than if but one kind of grass is used, and can also be pastured throughout the season, as most grasses used are deep-rooted and are extremely drought-resisting.

WERNICH’S LAWN GRASS MIXTURES. ; HOW TO SECURE A GOOD LAWN. The principal features to secure a good lawn are: First, a rich, well drained soil; second, careful preparation of the ground, making it as fine, smooth and mellow as possible; third, sowing at such. \a time as to give the young plant time to become well established before being subject to very dry or very cold weather. Seeding may be done in spring or fall. If done during the hot months, the {ground must be kept moist when sowing is done. With the ground prepared well, let the surface be {gone over with a fine rake, and the seed evenly scattered, after which carefully rake or brush the- ‘seed in and follow with a roller.

The Improved Corneil Smoker, with its new snout, is a most decided improve- _ ment over the old one, The old nozzle, or snout, was somewhat top-heavy, hav- ing a tendency to tip over. The new one is not only neat in appearance, but will hold its position on top of the stove without danger of toppling over. Like the ° last year pattern of nozzle, it is hinged for convenience in opening or closing, but in front instead of the rear, as before. See dotted line. A very neat wire- | coil handle. which will remain cool under any circumstances, is riveted securely in place on the back side of the snout at a point that is most convenient for lifting and shutting the cap. The legs are of skeleton sheet metal stamping, extremely light in weight, but very strong and rigid. They are riveted to the stove and bolted to the bellows-board. The blast is the same well known Corneil principle, involving the use of a supplementary tube by which the volume of the Beet is increased. The bellows itself is metal bound, thereby strengthening this portion. We furnish three sizes of this smoker, viz.; Jumbo, with 4-inch stove, Standard with 3% inch stove, and a Junior with 2% inch stove. Table of Prices of Corneil Smokers.

Write for Special Catalogue of these Tools. Mailed free. The “Iron Age” Garden Tools have become immensely popular, owing to their new and up-to- date construction. They are equipped with high, steel wheels, very light tubular frame, connected with malleable iron castings—really bicycle construction, and in consequence they are exceedingly light, con- venient, easy to handle and very handsome in appearance. No. 22 ‘‘Iron Age’’ Combined Fertilizer Distributer, Hill and Drill Seeder. Weight, Boxed, 65 Ibs. Price, $18.00. Although a tool designed to do so much, it is perfectly simple, light of draught, strong, and perfection in the quality of work done by it. The Opening Plows of the Fertilizer Distributor are made of such shape 2s to encase the two fertilizer distributing tubes (one in each plow) leading from the Fertilizer Hopper. These plows are adjustable in depth and width, which allows the adjustment of the depth at which the fertilizer is sown and allows its distribution in narrow streams at different distances. ‘The plows are immediately followed by the coverers, which draw the soil over the fertilizer just deposited. The Fertilizer Distributor is thoroughly relia- ble in its distribution of fertilizer. It contains a force feed device which prevents stoppage by small lumps. The Seed Sowing Device is practically the same as used on our Nos. 6 and 15 Combined Seed Brilis. The seed may be sown in rows or dropped in hills at 4, 6, 8, 12 to 24 inches apart.

In this age of the Gasoline and Electric Power we find on most of the farms Gasoline Engines | and it will not be long before almost every farmer has’ his Gasoline Engine of more or less power. a In connection with such a power the farmer should have his own Threshing Outfit. No machine pays for itself in such a short time as does a good Thresher. ‘The Heebner machines are the best of the small Threshers in existence, not only in America, but the world over.

HEEBNER’S THRESHERS AND SHAKERS. Thousands of these small threshing outfits are in use on small farms. They are not so much in demand of late years, but there continues to be a call for them, and we are prepared to supply the trade. A number of improvements have been made in the thresher, notably in the cylinder. This vaa| is now made with steel bars and steel teeth, much like the cylinders in our threshers and cleaners. These little outfits enable the farmer to be independent of threshermen and to do his own work, an ie to do it at a time when it will best suit his convenience. Made in two sizes. : ey = No.' 1.

The brass tank is recommended because it will not rust Or corrode when Bordeaux Mixture, Sulphate of Iron, Arsenate of Lead and such solutions are used with it. The capacity of the tank is 3% gallons. This sprayer is equipped with a special arrangement which keeps the liquid constantly in motion. The air is forced in the bottom of the sprayer at every stroke of the pump, which pro- duces a rotary motion and keeps the liquid fully agitated. The pump is made of brass tubing for both style sprayers and is equipped with a shut-off nozzle. There are no valves in the pump to get out of order. Rubber tubes are so placed that the pump is very easily operated and convenient to carry. The great ad- vantage of this sprayer over many others is the fact that it may be operated as the spraying is done, thus avoiding the necessity of stopping to pump it up at intervals. A double nozzle may be added so that two rows may be sprayed at one time. The No. 2 caps are made with larger openings for the purpose of spraying heavy solutions such as Bordeaux Mixture, White Wash, ete. Prices: Simplex Sprayer No. 1, all brass, each $7.25.

HOW TO KILL DANDELIONS IN THE LAWN. f Use a brass sprayer, either Auto-Spray, Brandt, Perfection or Simplex. Mix Sulphate of Iron in a wooden, earthen or copper vessel at the rate of two pounds per gallon of water. Strain before placing in sprayer to prevent clogging. About six gallons of solution are required for a lawn 50 by 150 feet. Several applications every 30 days may be necessary to completely destroy the roots. z SE Simplex Sprayer. 94 BRANDT COMPRESSED AIR ngewe ge ise oh The Brandt Sprayer is made on a new principle. Instead of pumping air into the reservoir before starting, the pumping is done during the process of work, so that the pressure is at all times under control. One stroke will spray from 15 to 25 hills of potatoes. The solution is distributed evenly, and one filling (3 gallons) of Paris Green mix- ture will spray a row of potatoes one mile long. The tank is made of galvanized steel. Price, $5.00. If fitted with 2 nozzles to spray 2 rows at one time, $6.50. THE LOWELL SPRAY ER. compressea air sprayer. Works very easy and rapid.
