ORANGE, CONN.
I Branch Store during Feb., March and April, 63 Dey St., New York City.
OUR CUSTOMERS
Will always be ’welcome to visit us and inspect our methods, particularly in the summer season, while our seed crops are growing. We have a succession of seed crops maturing from about July 1st through August and September — first beginning with turnip seed, then follow- ing on with kale, Ruta Baga, cabbage, parsnip, onion, beet, carrot, tomato, sweet corn and other varieties of seeds in smaller quantities.
We are visited each year by a large number of our customers, and we are always glad to have prospective customers call on us. Whether they purchase seeds of us or not we will show them our crops most cheerfully.
We test our seeds as to vitality, and our customers can always feel assured that to the best of our knowledge the seeds we send out are pure, reliable and true to name.
TONS OF BEET SEED.
This cut is a reproduction of a photograph of a ten-acre field of Crosby’s Egyptian Beet seed, taken on August 1st on one of our seed farms here, at Orange, Ct. We think that our strain of this beet is unexcelled, and our trade among market gardeners has so rapidly increased that we grow annually several thousand pounds, and every year our stock becomes exhausted before the season is over.

DISCOUNTS
Market gardeners who purchase ten, twenty or more dollars’ worth of seeds naturally expect a lower price than those who purchase but a small amount, and we will make the fol- lowing discounts from catalogue prices where cash accompanies order: On seeds in packets and by the ounce we will mail postpaid for onp dollar, seeds to the amount of one dollar and twenty-five cents. Dn orders amounting to ten dollars and upwards, deduct 10 per cent, where cash is sent with order.
WE GUARANTEE THE SEEDS WE SELL.
We carefully test the seeds we sell, and to show the confidence we Mve in them, we make the following guarantee:
We will refund the price paid for any seeds offered in this catalogue, and paid for at catalogue prices, if after proper culture the” crop fails, provided such failure is directly due to the poor quality of the seed.
This of course does not compensate for any great loss, but it is impossible to assume any responsibility further than this. We are at all times ready to listen to any just complaint, and it is our constant aim to so treat our customers that they will stand by us.
ENSIGN BAQLEY POTATO.
When we offered this brand new potato to our customers for the first time, in the spring of 1899, we predicted that it would become a winner. Last spring we again spoke at length of its special merits, at same time publishing what some of our customers had to say of it. We again wish to emphasize all we have previously said of it.
We planted on our own farms several acres of this sort in comparison with such well-known sorts as New Queen and Early Norther, with the result that Ensign Bagley outyielded them all, and were ready to dig July lOlh, yielding over 200 bushels of marketable potatoes of the finest quality. We sold several car loads of this sort last spring, but the supply was far below the demand.
Our contracts cover the entire crop of them again this year, the seed being all grown in Aroostook County, Me. , exclusively for us, but we are positive that our stock will not be sufficient for the demand again this season. Prices for 1901:
Per lb., postpaid, 15c.; per pk., 50c.; bushel, $1.40; barrel sack of 165 lbs., net, $3.50.

WE PRINT THE FOLLOWING FROM A LARGE NUMBER OF TESTIMONIALS FROM REPRESENTATIVE MARKET GARDENERS IN THE EAST:
S. D. WooDEUFF & Sons, Orange, Conn. Flatlands, L. I., Oct., 1900.
Gentlemen — The Ensign Bagley potatoes yielded as much as any seed potatoes I planted this season. On July 4th they were larger and yielded better than any potato I had on my farm at that date. Save me 40 barrels for next season’s planting. Yours, etc., S. E. ELDERT.
S. D. Woodruff & Sons, Orange, Conn. Jamaica, L. I., Aug. 30.
Gentlemen — The Ensign Bagley Potatoes you furnished us this spring did very well. We planted New Queen, Early Norther, Early Rose, etc., but we dug the Ensign Bagley first. We shall plant 40 barrels Ensign Bagleys next year. Yours, etc., W. & J. R. VAN SICKLEN.
Clinton, Conn., July 4.
Gentlemen — The Ensign Bagley Potatoes are doing finely. As you say, are sure to be- come a winner. Too much cannot be said in their favor. Yours, etc., W. A. DOOLITTLE.
S. D. Woodruff & Sons, Orange, Conn. Hyde Park, L. I., Oct. 27.
Gentlemen — The Ensign Bagley potatoes purchased of you this spring yielded 80 barrels per acre of marketable potatoes, and we dug about the middle of July. They were so early that I got a first-class second crop of sweet corn from the same ground. Y ours, J OHN A. HUGHES.
What Mr. A. V. Suydam of Flatbush, L. I., says of this potato:
In these days it is hard to get an early potato that is pure, but the Ensign Bagley potatoes that I purchased of you last spring were not only pure, but yielded more than any early sort this season.
Highwood, Conn., Nov. 20.
Gentlemen — I was more than pleased with the Ensign Bagley potato which you per- suaded me to buy last spring. You need not be afraid of recommending these too highly, as they are surely worthy of all praise you can give them. Yours, etc., ANDREW URE.
Lynbrook, L. I., Dec. 7, 1900.
The Ensign Bagley potato were far the best early potatoes I had last season. They stood the dry weather, and came through and made a crop where the other sorts dried up and were a failure. H. L. CRAMER.
The above cut Is a reproduction of a photograph taken September 25, 1900, of a fifteen-acre field of Ensign Bagley potatoes, grown exclusively for us In Aroostook County, Me. This grand new sort Is sure to take a leading place- among tbe standard early varieties. See Novelties for description and price.

NOVELTIES.
Burpee’S Stringless Green Pod Bush Bean.
This is the earliest of all green podded bush'beans and the finest quality snap bean in cultivation. It is even earlier than Early Yellow Six Weeks, and of far superior quality to any other green podded bean, and is the only absolutely stringless bean with round pod. Price per pkt., 10c.; qt., 25c.; pk., $1.40; bu., $4,75
The DirigoBeet.
We see no rea- son why the new stringless Green Pod Bean should not almost entire- ly take the place of Early Red Val- entine, as it is fully as early, perfe c t- ly round pod and string- less and great cropper.
Crosby’s Egyptian Beet.
The standard early bunch beet for^the up-to-date market gardener. It is a thicker beet than the Extra Early Flat Egyptian and fully as early, and bottoms very uniformly. Price per pkt., 5c. ; oz., 10c. ; i lb., 20c. ; lb., 60c. ; 5 lb. lots at 55c.
The Dirigo Beet.
We cannot too highly recommend this new beet. It is an extra early flattish beet, very small top, with single tap root, and one of the smoothest sorts we have ever grown. Very quick in bottoming and superior in our opinion to many other early sorts offered. In comparison with Crosby’s Egyptian raised side by side we liked the Dirigo rather better than the Crosby. It is very uniform and true to type. Supply of seed very limited. Price per pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c. lb., 25c.; lb., 65c.; 5 lbs. at 60c. per lb.

Currie's Rust Proof Wax Bean.
Currie’s Rust Proof Wax Bean.
The earliest large podded vari- ety and the most profitable variety for New England markets. This is the taker, tried and true above all other early sorts. Price per pkt. , 10c ; qt., 25c.; pk., $1.40; bu., $5.00. Crop very short.
Early Spring Cab- bage.
New Ex. Early Flat^Head Variety.
As early as Jersey Wakefield. Yields one-third more than any other early cabbage on the same space Of ground. Plant them 21 inches apart and you have 13,500 per acre. It has the peculiarity of heading firmly at an early stage in its growth, making it a valuable variety for extra early market. Price per pkt., 10c.; oz., 35c.; i lb., $1.30; lb., $4.50.
Ail Head Early Cabbage.
This, although not a strictly new variety, is worthy of a prominent place. The very best early flat sort in cultivation. Reliable header, and for a sure crop, uniform heading sort, it is a winner and cannot fail to please. Price per pkt., 5c.; oz., 30c.; \ lb., $1.00; lb., $3. 50.
Danish Ball Head Cabbage.
This is the great winter shipping sort, be- coming more popular every year. Our seed is of our own importation from Denmark and is a most excellent, sure heading strain. Price per pkt., 5c.; oz., 25c.; \ lb., 90c.; lb., $3.00.
Pride of the Market Pea.
We have now to offer our customers an en- tirely new strain of this most popular sort.
Our new stock is a great improvement on the old strain, is entirely pure and free from sports, with handsome, large, very dark green pods, so much sought for in the New York market.
Price per pkt., 10c.; qt., 25c.; pk., $1.25; bu.,
$4.25.
Gradus or Prosperity Pea.
We do not hesitate to say that this is one of the greatest novelties that has been intro- duced for the past decade. Imagine a wrin- Head Early.
kled pea with a pod very nearly as large as Stratagem or Telephone, and maturing within three or four days as early as Alaska or any of the other round extra early sorts, and you will get an idea of exactly what this pea is. Seed of the true stock extremely short. Price per pkt., 10c.; qt., 30c.; pk., $2.25; bu., $8.50.

NOVELTIES.
Juno Pea.
The Juno Pea is largely used to replace the Pride of the Market by those gardeners ^vho have tried it. Pod very dark green. Vine short very profuse cropper. Pods remain green unusually long after becoming fit for market. Price per pkt., 10c.; qt., 25c.; pk., $1.25; bu., $4.00.
New Pea, Nott’s Excelsioi ^
As early as American Wonder, much more prolific, with larger pods. Destined to take the place of American Wonder, as it is in every way better. Price per pkt., 10c.; qt., 25c; pk., $1.25; bu., $4.75.
Garter’s Daisy or Dwarf Telephone Pea.
As the name implies, this is a Dwarf Telephone, having the. characteristics of the Telephone, with dwarf vine. Height, under high cultivation, 18 inches. Very productive. Medium in season; about one week earlier than Stratagem. Destined to become a popular and standard sort. Price per pkt., 10c.; qt., 30c.; pk., $1.40; bu., $4.50.
Duke of Albany or Amer. Ghampion Pea.
This is one of the largest podded varieties in ex- istence and an immense yielder. Superior in some respects to Telephone; not as tall, but having a branching habit and should be sown thinly. Price per pkt., 10c.; qt., 30c.; pk., $1.40; bu., $4.50.
Early Yellow Cracker Onion.
Earliest of all onions. A flat, very hard and good keeping onion. Specially valuable for the early market; frequently yields of 300 to 400 bushels per acre are reported to us from those who have had the seed from us for the past two or three years. Our stock of this sort is extra fine, though limited.
Price per pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; i lb., 50c.; lb., $1.60; 5 lb. lots at $1.50 per lb.
New Ghampion Sweet Gorn.
This variety is said to be the largest eared early corn yet produced. It is pure white kernel and cob and but a few days later than First of All, Cory, Marblehead, Tom Thumb, etc. It has been grown fit for table use in 61 days from planting, which is evidence of its earliness. It is very popular with the Long Island gardeners. It has been difficult for us to grow enough seed of this variety to keep pace with the increasing demand for it. It matures with us exactly with Crosby’s Early and easily drives that popular sort out of the market on account of its large size and fine appearance.
Price per pkt., 10c.; qt., 20c.; pk., 80c.; bu., $2.75; per 100 ears, $3.00.

Kendal’s Early Giant Sweet Corn.
This is a second early, very large-eared sort, said by the originator to be the largest eared of the early vari- cities, pure white kernel and cob. Our seed is grown
e
e
from the original stock.
Price per pkt., 10c.; qt., 20c.; pk., 80c.; bu.,$2.75; per 100 ears, $3.00.
Moonarchie Corn.
This is a second early sort with large ear, originating with a large trucker in New Jersey and most popular with New Jersey and Long Island truckers. Pint, 10c.; qt., 20c.; pk., 80c.; bu., $2.50; per 100 ears, $2.75.
Early Giant Adams Corn.
This corn is a white flint, deep kernel, large eared § sort, something after the type of Early Adams, but much g larger and more prolific. It ripens same time as Perry’s 1 Hybrid, and when young and tender it makes quite an g attractive market corn. Has some very marked advan- tages over the sweet varieties in that it is free from I worms and blight, and is becoming quite a general favor- g" ite with truckers in the South and East, where it is ^ grown with the double purpose of marketing the green corn and in event of poor markets harvesting the pro- ^ duct for feeding purposes. The fact of its large size, great productiveness and earliness commends it to the attention of all our gardener friends, and we urge all to give it a trial.
Per qt., 20c.; i pk., 40c.; pk., 80c.; bu., $2.80; per 100 selected ears, $2.50.

Onion growers will do well to buy their seed direct from the growers of the seed. Our seed is all thoroughly tested and will please you as it does hundreds of other critical onion growers in the country.

We are Headquarters on Connecticut Crown Onion Seed Crown from Selected Bulbs and Crow Annually on our Farms many Thousand Pounds. |
No seed which the farmer or gardener buys is of more importance than Onion Seed. In none is he more at the mercy of his seedman. This above all other seeds must be sold upon honor. We feel justified in claiming for our seed all that can be said about any seed — viz : that it is as good as can possibly be produced. Now the reasons for this claim are these. We grow our onion seed from selected bulbs on our own seed farms. We carefully harvest and cure the seed. We offer it to you direct. The price is as low as we can produce the very best seed. Once a trial order always a customer, has always been our motto regarding onion seed. Read the following from a large number of testimonials.
Mr. A. M. Darling, Sunderland, Mass., writes under date of December 26. “I had a yield of 1,000 bu. per acre from your Yellow Globe Danvers onion seed. Your seed beat any I had. Save me 35 lbs. for next Spring.
Messrs. S. D. Woodruff & Sons : Hatfield, Mass., Nov. 6.
Sirs : It gives me great pleasure to give to you the result of your onion seed the past season. From one measured acre of ground sown with Yellow Globe Danvers onion seed procured of you, I have harvested nine hundred and eighty-three (983) bushels of weighed onions, 52 lbs. to the bushel.
Yours truly. JAMES PORTER.
S. D. Woodruff & Sons : Chittenango, N. Y., Jan. 5.
Gentlemen : The onion seed we bought of you was very satisfactory.
Yours truly, PENNOCK & SON.
A SUCCESSFUL CROP OF OIVIOIVS.
Over 734 bushels per acre on each acre of an 11^ acre piece.
S. D. Woodruff & Sons : Sunderland, Mass., Dec. 15.
Dear Sirs : I have grown 11| acres of onions this year, all in one piece, from which I harvested 8,444 bushels number one onions. I used Yellow Globe Danvers onion seed, pur- chased of you. Please save 75 pounds of the same for me for the coming year.
Truly yours, M. H. CLARK.
Mr. Clark has used our seed for the past seven years and has had a fine crop every year. Consider the fact that Mr. Clark had 11| acres, the average yield being over 734 bushels. We think this a banner crop. Single acres could have been picked out that would probably yield over 1,000 bushels.
BAXTER CROP OF OXIOX SEED.
Our crop of onion seed the past season was one of the best we ever grew and we cannot too highly recommend our 1900 crop seed. We advise you that whether you purchase your seed of us or not, to purchase Connecticut grown seed, as it is the best in the world. No seeds- man will dispute this fact, but many will say that they have aome just as good. You can de- pend on this, that the Connecticut grown seed is fully as good as ever before and of better vitality than usual.

ONE OF THE BANNER CROPS OF YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS ONIONS GROWN FROM OUR SEED.
Mr. Clayton S. Parsons, Northampton, Mass., grew four acres of onions in one piece. He entered one acre from the plot for a premium in the Hampshire, Franklin and Hampden Agricultural Society. He received first premium, the yield for the acre, according to the oflBcial measurement of the judges, being 835 bu. of 52 lbs. per bushel.
We presume that Mr. Parsons selected the best acre of the four, but he assures us that the average yield for the entire four acres was nearly as large as the one acre on which he received the premium. On Dec. 15th we received the following from Mr. Parsons:
S. D. WooDKUFF & Sons: Northampton, Mass., Dec. 15.
Dear Sirs: It may please you to know that my onion crop has taken first premium in our three counties society, they having awarded it to me on one acre of onions, yield being 835 bushels. I used your seed and found it, as always before, to be depended upon.
Yours respectfully, CLAYTON S. PARSONS.
WE CROW ONION SEED BY THE TON.
Some of our competitors have circulated the story that we do not grow but a small part of the onion seed we sell. We deny these charges and make the positive statement that we grow on our own seed farms here at Orange, Ct., thousands of pounds, yes, several tons of onion seed annually, and we believe we produce more onion seed than any other grower east of the Mississippi River.
Our prices are low considering quality of our seed. Give us a trial; we can serve you whether you use 1 oz. or 500 pounds. We have many planters among our customers who purchase annually from 50 to 200 pounds each.

Two of the Tools Every Onion Grower Should Own.
Universal Onion Drill.
This is the drill used almost exclusively by onion growers in the Southport, Conn., section, and it is needless to say that it is considered the very best drill in use. It sows with great accuracy two rows at a time, 12 inches apart. Net price, $7.00.
It does away entirely with hand-raking the soil. Upon our own farms we would not be without one for three times its cost. Price, $20.50, or 5 per cent discount for spot cash.

S. D. WOODRUFF & SONS, ORANGE, CONN.
PARSLEY.
One of the finest plants for garnishing; used for flavoring soups, stevrs and salads. Sow as early as possible in Spring, in shallow drills fifteen inches apart, raking the soil fine and level on top. Cover the seed one-third of an inch. The plants appear in from two to six weeks. Succeeds in common garden soil.
Champion Moss Curled. The standard market sort. Our stock of this is extra double curled and one of the finest stocks to be had. Used very extensively on Long Island. Price per pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; 3€ lb., 25c.; lb., 65c.; 5 lbs. at 60c. per lb.

Plain Leaf. A very hardy variety. Price per pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; 25c.; lb., 75c.
We shall be pleased to have you call at our branch store, 63 Dey Street, New York City, from February 15th to May 1st.
PEAS.
Considering the vast importance of the Pea crop, we consider it our duty to say something about the pest that has attacked the crop for the past two seasons. We refer to the Pea aphis or louse.
We have experimented at considerable expense hoping to find a successful remedy, but fear there is no known remedy entirely efficient. Where peas are planted in rows the lice may be brushed off and the ground immediately cultivated, thereby destroying some of the lice. If this treatment is tried on a very hot day some will probably be killed by the sun. Spraying with whale oil soap, or with Kerosene Emulsion, is also more or less effective. It is also probably true that in some cases the lice are attacked by another insect which destroys them with great rapidity. We suggest as a possible practical solution of this problem the sowing of large late sorts, such as Telephone, Long Island Mammoth or Duke of Albany. The lice do not attack these sorts as badly as they do short vine varieties, such as Juno and Pride of the Market. It might be well to sow every third or fourth row with one of these latter short vine sorts. We noted in our trial ground where they were side by side, that the short vine sorts were entirely destroyed while the long vine varieties made a fair crop.
Like many other seed crops the pea crop suffered from the severe drought, and the yield was only about two-thirds of an ordinary crop.
The samples of our seed, however, are extra nice and bright, and those who have used our pea seed know of its purity ^nd genuineness. All are Northern grown and the growing ■crops were thoroughly “rogued ” by hand during the growing season.
