FARQUHAR’S
ARTICHOKE. Alcachofa.
A most delicious vegetable, rapidly gaining in popularity. The
heads are usually boiled, and the bottom of each scale eaten with butter
and salt. In France they are more frequently baked with a dressing of
fresh butter, forming a most savory dish.
Culture. Sow seeds in April or May, and when large enough, trans-
plant in rows 4 feet apart and 2 feet in the rows. They yield the second
year, and require protection during winter by earthing up and mulching.
In the Northern States it is better to treat this plant as an annual, sowing
seeds under glass and keeping the seedlings growing vigorously until May,
when they should be set out in rich soil, when they will produce fine heads
the first season.

ASPARAGUS. Lsparrago Spargel.
Culture. Sow the’ seeds thinly in drills one foot apart and one inch
deep. The permanent bed should be trenched very deeply, and well manured
with rich, thoroughly decayed manure. Wide drills should then be made,
3 feet apart, and deep enough to admit of the top of the plants being cov-
ered 6 inches. Set the plants, one or two years old, 12 inches apart in
the rows, carefully spreading out and separating the roots. For the sake of
convenience one drill should be made at a time, and the planting and cov-
ering completed before another is commenced. In November the plants
should have their annual top dressing of manure after the stalks have been
cleared away. The dressing should be forked in as soon as the ground can
be worked in spring, and the bed neatly raked. One ounce of seed sows 60
feet of drill; : 5 pounds sow one acre.

CAULIFLOWER
Coliflor. Blumen Kohl.
Cauliflower succeeds well in
any soil where Cabbages_ will
grow. It delights in a rich soil
and abundance of water. By
sowing the early varieties in a
hot-bed in F ebruary or March,
fine heads can be obtained in
May or June. For a later sup-
ply, sow seed in a prepared bed
in May, choosing a cool, moist
place. When large enough,
transplant, making the rows
about 23 feet apart and 18
inches between the plants.
Transplanting should be done in
moist. weather. One ounce of
seedyproduces about 3,000 plants.
Farquhar’s Earliest

Cauliflower.
Best for early, best for late,
best for foreing, and the
surest header of all.
This strain is grown especially
for us, by the most reliable
grower in Northern Europe,
where the finest Cauliflower is
produced; and we _ believe
there is nothing finer offered.
This strain is short-stemmed,
small-leaved with large, finely
grained heads. Good seed is
absolutely necessary for suc-
cess in growing Cauliflower.
This strain is most- carefully
grown, and with reasonable

CULTURE.
Mushrooms are more easily
cultivated than many people
imagine, and may be grown
in any room or cellar where
the temperature can be main-
tained at from fifty to sixty-
five degrees. For the bed,
use fresh stable manure,
which should consist of half
droppings and half short
litter; this must be thor-
oughly turned and mixed;
many growers prefer a mixt-
ure of three parts horse drop-
pings and one part good
fresh loam. Before being
placed in the bed, let the
manure be put in some dry
place to sweeten, mixing it
thoroughly and turning it
three or four times, when, if
preferred, the loam may be
added. Upon a dry, firm
bottom or shelf, proceed to
make the bed by spreading
a thin layer of the prepared
mixture, pounding it firm,
and continue thus till the bed
is 12 inches thick. Leave
it thus for about a week, or
until the temperature has sub-
sided to eighty-five degrees.
Then make holes about 10
inches apart, and put in each
a piece of spawn about the
size of an egg. Press the
spawn firmly into the com-
post about 2 inches, leaving the top uncovered to allow the excess of heat and moisture to pass off without injury to the germs. After
ten days fill the holes and cover the whole bed with 2 inches of fresh loam, and over this place a few inches of straw. If the tempera-
ture is right, mushrooms will appear in six to eight weeks from time of spawning. The bed will continue bearing from four to six weeks
If the surface of the bed becomes dry at any time, it should be moistened freely with water at a temperature of eighty to eighty-five
degrees. To stimulate the bed when it seems exhausted, the following treatment will sometimes give wonderful results: Soak the
whole bed thoroughly with water at a temperature of one hundred and ten degrees, adding one pound of sheep manure to every five gal-
lons. One pound of Farquhar’s English Mushroom spawn is sufficient for six square feet of bed.
The following works on Mushroom culture will be mailed post-paid on receipt of price. Both authors are authorities on the subject,
and they give plain and full directions.

ONION.
Cebolla. Zwiebel.
The Onion has been cultivated as —
an article of food from the earliest
times, and is perhaps at the present
day more universally grown than any
other vegetable. A good crop is im-
possible unless the soil is very rich and
kept clean. Use well-rotted manure
freely, and get the crop in as early as
possible in spring, even should the
weather be cold and unpleasant.
Sow in drills one foot apart and cover
about one-third of an inch, treading or
rolling after sowing so that the hot, dry
atmosphere may not destroy the
sprouting seed. When three inches
high, thin to two inches apart. Stir
the ground freely without disturbing
the young plants and keep free from
weeds. One ounce of seed to 100 feet of ~
drill; 4 to 5 pounds an acre.

speak of Farquhar’s Prolific Early Pea. With me this
time ut grew six feet, and two feet from the ground it was
loaded with peas. It was a beautiful sight to see the two
double rows. Many people came to see them. I wish Ihad
them photographed, but I failed to do it. It is a fine Pea
and one of the greatest croppers and the largest bearing
Peas Ihave grown. Gentlemen, Ihope this will be of interest
to you as I felt I could not let it go by without writing you.

POTATOES.
Prices Subjeet to Variations of the Market.
A good, sandy loam produces the best potatoes, but they can be grown on all kinds of soil. New or pasture land, with the turf
freshly turned, produces the finest crop. Make furrows of good depth, 3 feet apart. Scatter a liberal dressing of phosphate or decayed
stable manure along the drill, and set the seed about 10 inches apart in the rows. Cover with about 2 inches ot soil, and begin to culti-
vate when the plants are well up. At each successive hoeing, bring additional soil about the plants. A change of seed is the best anti-
dote for disease. Four barrels are sufficient to plant one acre in drills.

SQUASH. Calabaza. Speise Kurbiss.
Squashes should not be planted until all danger from frost has
passed. They delight in a warm, thoroughly pulverized, very rich soil.
Plant in hills in May, mixing with the soil in each hill a shovelful or
two of rotted manure. For bush varieties the hills should be from
5 to 6 feet apart, for running sorts 10 feet apart. Put 8 or 10 seeds
in each hill, and when well grown thin, leaving 2 or 3 of the strongest
plants to a hill. Small seeded sorts, one ounce to 50 hills; large seeded
sorts, one ounce to 15 hills.

R. § J. Farquhar & Co., Boston, Mass. Weld Garden, Brookline, Dec. 7, 1907.
Gentlemen:—It gives me great pleasure to inform you of the good results I have had with your Laun Grass Seeds.
I have used them extensively, not only in Massachusetts but in Washington, D. C., and in St. Louis, Mo., at both of which places there
is difficulty in getting good Lawns, and where the successful results from your seeds have been remarkable.
The Weld Garden in Brookline which has been so frequently described and illustrated in the leading pertodicals of the country affords
the very best evidence of the high quality, purity and permanence of your Lawn Grasses.
Your Mixtures for various situations and for different parts of the country, I consider especially valuable.
Yours truly, Duncan Finlayson.

Bretton Woods Golf Club, Bretton Woods, N. H.
Messrs. R. § J. Farquhar & Co., Boston, Mass. November 13th, 1907.
Gentlemen :— Ihave used your Lawn Grasses for the past eight years and have found them of extra fine quality and
entirely free from foul seeds. Your Putting Green Mixture is the finest I have ever seen—the greens at Bretton Woods produced from tt
are unrivalled. Yours truly, G. S. MERRITT, Prof. Golfer.
FARQUHAR’S FAIR GREENS MIXTURE.
This is composed mainly of perennial native grasses and two very important European grasses which have proven of great value
for Fair-Green use. They are all of dwarf, spreading growth, forming a close velvety surface which improves from year to year if given
proper care. It contains no clover, which is objectionable on account of making the surface slippery. If white clover is desired the
quantity sown should not exceed one-half pound per bushel of grass seed. Per lb., .20; per 100 lbs., at 18 cents per lb.; per 1000 lbs., at
16 cents per lb. Sow 50 lbs per acre.
THE FOLLOWING SPECIAL GRASS SEED MIXTURES,
Quart, .385; by mail, .45; peck, 1.50; per bushel of 20 lbs., 6.00.
FARQUHAR’S PUTTING-GREEN MIXTURE.
The hardiest and finest low growing Grasses are contained in this Mixture. It produces a beautiful and lasting green turf
calculated to withstand hard tear and wear.
FARQUHAR’S TERRACE MIXTURE.
A mixture of strong, deep-rooted Grasses for banks or terraces. Although the Grasses are strong and deep rooted, they will
produce a fine green velvety surface, and also prevent washing away during heavy rains.
FARQUHAR’S MIXTURE FOR SHADY PLACES.
This is a mixture of extra fine grasses adapted for growing in the shade and under trees. We recommend the use of this mixture
wherever other grasses on account of shade have failed to make a close sward.
Mrs. W. V. Chapin, Pomfret, Conn., writes:—‘‘Some grass seed bought of you last spring has been wonderfully fine. I wish you could
see my thick, green, grassy walk, 1,200 feet long, under some apple trees. This ‘St. Dorothys’ path 1s along a stone wall, and hardy
perennials are opposite side from apple trees, and your grass seed made a beautiful path even this first year,”

GRASSES FOR PERMANENT HAY CROPS AND PASTURES.
These contain only the mest suitable Grasses, the proportionate quantity of each being :egulated by soil, situation and purpose for
which desired. ‘The object to be attained is a constant, successive growth of rich pasturage from: spring until fall. It is a well-established
fact that soil sown with a variety of different grasses which are adapted to the soil, and which attain perfection at alternate months
from April to September, produce very much larger and more satisfactory crops, both jor hay and pasturage, than when only one or two
kinds of grasses or clovers are sown. ‘The good results obtained from our Special Grass Seed mixtures are demonstrated by the constant-
ly increasing demand for them. Fall seeding is preferable, but spring sowing will be successful if done early, while the land is cool and
| moist. In addition to the Grasses, we advise sowing 10 lbs. of Mixed Clover Seed per acre. Clover seed should be sown separately as
it is heavier than Grass seeds and settles at the bottom when mixed with them, and in consequence is likely to be sown unevenly.
Clovers in their young state are tender in our climate, and should therefore be sown in spring.

from seeds, they may be sown
either in spring or during the

method is to sow them in a
frame, protecting the seedlings
as they appear above ground
from the sun. The soil should
be kept evenly moist but not
saturated. Transplant the seed-
lings once or twice if necessary
to prevent crowding.

established over 150 years ago and having at the present time
about 800 acres under cultivation.
The nurseries being located in the North of England, the

an important feature, developing an abundance of root fibre,
which is absolutely necessary to successfully establish large spec-

STRAWBERRY PLANTS.
Our strong pot-grown plants give a full crop of
fruit ten or eleven months after they are set out.
Plant in July and August. We have the best 20 varie-
ties for market and home use adapted to our climate.
These, if planted in July and August, produce a large
crop the next summer. Being grown in pots they
may be shipped to a distance and planted with almost
no interruption to their growth. The plants may be
set in beds of three rows one foot apart and one foot
distant in the rows, with a space of two and one-half
feet between the outside rows of adjoining beds left for

Climax.
Exeelsior. This is decidedly the best early Strawberry and the
earliest good strawberry. The fruit is of round conical form,
glossy, dark red color, and of mildly acid flavor.
Fairfleld. Mr. Johnson, the introducer, says he has never seen any
berry nearly its equal for earliness, large size, attractive color,
quality and firmness.
Abington. A very prolific sort of Massachusetts origin, bearing
large bright crimson, firm fruit of fine flavor.
Climax. This is an extremely popular new variety, immensely
productive, the berries being slightly over medium size. Plant
vigorous, healthy grower, of a peculiar shade of green that can be
distinguished from other varieties. Our stock is from plants pro-
cured of the originator and is exceptionally fine.
Glen Mary. Large, conical, bright red berries; firm and of fine
flavor.
They may also be planted in single rows
three feet apart and one foot apart in the rows.

FIRST EARLY.
From 214 in. pots,
William Belt.
Sueeess. Large, round, bright scarlet, flavor always fine.
Virginia. A medium sized berry of recent introduction; flavor
excellent; enormous yielder. Made a record of 12,000 quarts per
acre at its home in the State of Virginia.
EARLY.
Sample. Excellent for either market or home use; prolific, large,
firm and delicious.
Senator Dunlap. Mr. Crawford, at the time of its introduction
by him, said that he doubted if he had ever sent out a berry bet-
ter than Senator Dunlap. It will keep in fair condition for
several days on the vines after being ripe enough to pick. The
fruit is large, rich and dark red clear to the centre, with a very
rich flavor.
MEDIUM.
Belmont. Large crimson fruit; a popular main crop sort for
Boston market.
Bubach. A well known and everywhere popular variety. A large
berry of a rich, bright red color; very prolific. Bubach is a
pistillate or imperfect-flowered variety and requires a stamenate or per-
fect-flowered sort planted with it for fertilization. Bismarck, Brandy-
wine and Glen Mary are suitable.
Brandywine. A large heart-shaped berry, perfect in form, bright
red in color, firm flesh, red to the centre, and of rich, spicy flavor.
A great cropper especially on heavy soils, holds its fruit well up
from the ground and generally succeeds everywhere.
Bismarek. Bismarck is a safe pollenizing strawberry, possessing
all the desirable qualities of Bubach. To those familiar with the
Bubach nothing further need be said, since Bubach has been a
favorite berry for years. Bismarck makes a much finer growth
than Bubach, and, from the fact that it beds up better, it will
generally produce a larger yield per acre. Color a dull scarlet,
ripens all over at once, having no green tips. The seeds are prom-
inent, and the berries quite firm.
Mark Hanna. Very large, somewhat resembling Marshall, but
still more prolific than that favorite sort.
Marshall. The fruit of this remarkable sort is of enormous size,
of handsome, glossy, dark crimson color, and of delicious flavor.
It is one of the best midseason berries, either for private use or
market. It is a vigorous grower and requires good soil and high
cultivation. As it does not thrive in all soils, it should not be
planted extensively until its adaptability is ascertained.
Minute Man. A medium large well-formed berry of bright red
color and superior flavor, bearing longer than almost any other
sort. The flower is imperfect and requires a staminate sort like
Glen Mary planted with it.
New York. One of the best sorts for private or market gardens.
The berries are large, of long conical form; dark red color, firm
texture and of remarkably sweet flavor. In the market they sell
at sight.
Pride of Cumberland. The plant is a vigorous grower and free
from rust. The bloom is perfect, ripens about one week earlier
than Gandy; it is nearly as large, equally as firm, as good in
color, will thrive in either high or low land, and generally more
productive. It thrives on any soil, but owing to the immense
crops it sets, the ground should be well fertilized to ensure best
results.
LATE TO VERY LATE.
Commonwealth. This is the latest of all Strawberries; bearing
large conical, deep crimson fruit, sweet and of quality equal to the
well-known Bubach. Not only an extra large berry, but also
very productive, of deep rich color and solid, It is smooth and
quite juicy. The plants are strong, not quite so rank in growth
as the Marshall, and free from rust. One of the best introduc-
tions of recent years.
Gandy. This popular old variety is probably known by most berry
growers. It is more largely grown than any other late variety.
It is at home on black swamp land if well drained, upon medium
stiff or red clay land. On sandy soils it is unproductive. All late
varieties are compared by Gandy, which is the highest praise
that could be given it. Large size, fine appearance, and remark-
able keeping and carrying qualities.
112
William Belt. An exceptionally fine berry. In quality it heads
the list. The berries are as large, with some specimens larger
than the Bubach. It is about as productive as the Bubach, and
of nearly the same shape. Its color is a bright, glossy, deep red;
its season nearly as late as Gandy.
New Home. As late and large as Gandy, fruit a bright red color
that does not lose its lustre and turn dark for a long time after
being picked. It is a vigorous grower, and, unlike Gandy, will
produce a large crop on either high or low land. The fruit is so
firm and keeps so well, it does not need to be picked oftener than
three times a week. Its great productiveness, uniform large size,
and unsurpassed carrying and keeping qualities make it one of
the most desirable on the list.
Steven’s Late Champion. A very productive late sort resemb-
ling Gandy, the fruit being considered larger and more freely pro-
duced than that sort.

PURE CANADA UNLEACHED HARDWOOD ASHES.
Ashes lack ammonia and phosphoric acid, but contain potash
and lime, which are essential, not only as plant food, but also as
sweeteners of the soil and solvents of other plant food ingredients.
So far as they supply potash and lime, they are ‘‘nature’s plant
food.’? These things have been extracted from the soil by the
trees, and now we return them in the shape of ashes. Pure wood
ashes is one of the best fertilizers for top-dressing lawns, grass
lands, and seeding down, imparting a rich, dark shade of green,
destroying insects and weeds, particularly moss; also for fruit of
all kinds, especially strawberries, peaches and apples. 100-Ib. bag,
$1.25; 200 lbs., $2.00; ton, $18.00. In car load lots of from 15 to 20

PURE GROUND BONE.
This is made from the best quality of bone, finely pulverized
by improved machinery. It is far superior to some ground bone
in the market, which is often composed of refuse bones from
which the plant food has been largely removed in manufacturing
glue and other products. Analysis: Nitrogen, equal to Ammonia,
3 to 4 per cent. ; Phosphoric Acid, 22.80 to 25,23 per cent. ; equal to
Bone Phosphate, 50 to 55 per cent. Price per ton in bags, $30.00;

BRADLEY’S COMPLETE MANURES FOR ALL CROPS.
Specially Adapted to Intensive Farming and Market Gardening.
These manures have been abundantly proved by results in the
field. They are manufactured from the very best plant-food mate-
rials obtainable. In mechanical condition they are unequalled.
They drill perfectly in any machine. They are divided into classes,
based upon exhaustive field tests, and not upon theoretical experi-
ments of the laboratory, the fault of “special crop fertilizers’’ in
which common sense and practical experience are sacrificed for the
sake of theoretical hobbies.
Bradley’s Complete Manures are, in the fullest sense, ‘‘com-
plete’’ fertilizers, and the several grades furnish complete plant
tood in the best forms for all crops grown.

thus giving the potato a better chance to mature, which means a
more starchy potato, and one less liable to rot, and the extra

Messrs. R. & J. FARQUHAR & Co.,
6 South Market St., Boston:
GENTLEMEN: Last June you furnished me with a
20-inch Ball Bearing Lawn Mower. I was so well
pleased with it that I ordered another one in July. My
gardener, with the help of a boy, found that he could
cut the grass in about half the time he required to
do it with the old machines and with more comfort
to himself, owing tc its being so light to handle and
run, It does excellent work, and is easier to run than
the old-fashioned 1¢-inch, and I take pleasure in recom-
mending it in the hiehest terms. Very truly yours,
(Signed) HOWARD MARSTON.

ABOUT ROLLING LAWNS.
The benefit derived from the use of a roller
on the lawn, especially in the spring, is not
fully understood. The action of freezing and
thawing causes the ground to heave, and if the
sod is not firmly pressed back with a roller
before hot weather begins, the grass is apt to
be killed or injured, leaving the lawn full of
bare spots.

COMBINED DRILL SEEDER AND WHEEL HOE, CULTIVA-
TOR AND PLOW. Price, $10.00.
This has long been the most popular combined tool made.
From a drill it is changed to its other uses by removing two bolts,
when hoes, ete., can be quickly attached. It is an excellent seed
sower, a first class double or single wheel hoe, an excellent fur-
rower, an admirable wheel cultivator, and a rapid and efficient
garden plow. It is a practical, every-day time and labor saver, and
a grand remedy for backache. } ;
A pair of 6-tooth rakes supplied when specially ordered.
Price, :50.
NO. 17 SINGLE WHEEL HOE, CULTIVATOR AND
PLOW. Price, $5.25.
This single wheel hoe has a pair of 6-inch hoes, a plow, and a
set of cultivator teeth, —an outfit sufficient for most garden work.
It has 11-inch wheel, with broad face, is very light, strong, and
easy running. It has adjustable handles and quick-change frame.
The frame changes in height, and the wheel may be attached to the
other side of the frame, when both sides of the row may be hoed at
one passage.
NO. 12 DOUBLE WHEEL HOE, CULTIVATOR AND
PLOW. Price, $7.35.
This perfected wheel hoe is invaluable for use in all small crops.
Its variety of work is almost incredible. Changes and adjustments
of the tools are made with the greatest quickness. It has 11-inch
wheels which can be set at four different distances apart; the frame
is malleable, with ample room for tool adjustment and can be set
three different heights. The handles are adjustable at any height,
and, being attached to the arch, are undisturbed in making changes
of adjustment in frame, wheels, or tools. The arch is of stiff steel,
unusually high; the quick change frame permits the tools to be
changed without removing the nuts. All the blades are of tem-
pered and polished steel.
NEW UNIVERSAL HAND WHEEL PLOW. Price, $2.40.
This little labor-saying implement is one that commends itself
to all gardeners. It can be used to prepare the ground, to furrow
out, to cover, and to cultivate. The mould-board is of steel, pol-
ished and tempered. The Hand Plow is also a very useful imple-
ment for the poultry raiser for loosening up the runs or yards.
THE NEW MODEL SEED DRILL. Price, $7.75.
The diamond shaped adjustable hole regulates the discharge,
and can be made larger or smaller, as occasion requires. No other
drill has this advantage. The seed cut-off claps up underneath the
hole. It doesnot slide under the same as in other similar drills; on
this account it does not clog nor cut the seed. It has a broad
wheel and a covering roller. The opening plow is adjustable in
depth. The whole make-up of the drill is simple. It can be
worked by any one.
CAHOON’S SEED SOWER. Price, $3.50.
For sowing grass seed, wheat, oats, barley, rye, ete. Sows ata
common walking gait four to eight acres per hour; asaying of labor
and one-third of the seed is effected by this machine.
ADJUSTABLE GARDEN CART AND WATER BARREL

at pleasure, whether full or empty. Very useful for carrying water
to the garden or lawn during dry weather, for emptying cesspools,
and for innumerable other purposes. Price, truck and barrel,
complete: wheel, 24-inch tire, $10.50, without barrel, $7.50; wheel,
3$-inch tire, $12.75; without barrel, $9.75. The following extra
