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.

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.

Sow the seeds in March or April in a hot-bed or cold frame. As soon as the
plants are 3 inches high, transplant into a prepared border, setting them 4 inches
apart. When grown 6 inches, and fine stocky plants, set in richly manured, deep
soil, in rows 3 feet apart, and about 9 inches from plant to plant. Water, if dry
weather follows transplanting. During the next two months all the attention re-
quired is to keep down weeds. Afterwards earth up a little, and continue doing so
at intervals until only the tops of the leaves are visible late in autumn. Never
hoe or earth yp when the plants are wet. 1 ounce of seed produces about 4,000 plants.

Farquhar’s Perfection Forcing Cucumber.

CUCUMBER. Pepino. Gurke.

For very early use, seed may be started in heat and the plants set out in May. Pieces of inverted sod are an excellent medium for
starting and growing early Cucumber plants, as they can be readily lifted from the hot-bed to the garden without disturbing the young
plants growing upon them. For main crop, plant in hills 4 feet apart, in the end of May. Leave 4 strong plants to each hill. One
ounce to 50 hills; 2 to 3 pounds to an acre.

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.

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

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.

The Delicious. One of the best sorts for winter use. Its color is
almost uniformly of a green shade; it usually weighs between five
and ten pounds. In thickness of flesh it surpasses nearly every
variety, the color being a dark orange. For table use no squash

two inches high set out the plants in boxes about
four inches apart, or pot singly. About the first of
June they may be transferred to the open ground.
Set them deeply, four feet apart, and a shovelful of
rotted manure should be mixed in the earth of each
hill. If the vines are trained’on trellis the fruit will
be finer and larger.

For early Turnips, sow as soon as the ground is dry enough. Fall
Turnips may be sown from the first week in J uly to the end of September.
Ruta-bagas should be sown in June or early in July, in drills 18 inches
apart. ‘Turnips should be thinned when large enough, 6 to 9 inches apart
in the drills, according to size. Sowings should be made before rain, if
possible. The soil should be rich and well worked. One ounce will sow
150 feet of drill; two pounds will sow an acre in drills; one pound will sow
an acre broadcast.

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.

R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO., BOSTON. GRASS SEEDS.

AWNLESS BROME GRASS. Bromus Inermis. A hardy perennial, standing extremes of heat, cold, and
drought better than any other of our cultivated Grasses. It grows with wonderful rapidity, and
produces heavy hay crops and luxuriant pasture. The seed should be sown as early in the spring as
the ground can be worked. Sow 35 to 40 lbs. to the acre.

CRESTED DOG’S TAIL. Cynosurus cristatus. A perennial valued for its dwarf habit and its hardiness.

HARD FESCUE. J estuca duriuscula. This splendid Grass is found in all the best lawns and permanent
pastures; invaluable for dry soils; of low dense-growing habit.

ITALIAN RYE GRASS. Loliwm Italicum. A biennial which grows in broad, compact tufts, producing a
large number of stalks from a single root. Succeeds best in warm, rich, moist soils. A rapid grower
and a good crop to rid land of weeds, as it quickly overtops them, preventing them from ripening
seeds. Sow three bushels per acre.

KENTUCKY BLUE. Poa Pratensis. Known as June Grass. A perennial, especially adapted to dry
limestone soils, but will thrive on any good ground which is not too wet. Very nutritious, hardy,
and early. Sow three bushels per acre if alone.

MEADOW FESCUE. Festuca pratensis. A perennial which succeeds best on rich, moist loams. A heavy
yielder and also an excellent pasture Grass.

MEADOW FOX TAIL. Alopecurus pratensis. Very valuable in mixtures for permanent pastures ex-
posed to heat and drought, early and rapid in growth.

ORCHARD. Dactylis glomerata. A deep rooted perennial, growing in tufts. A strong, vigorous grower,
which succeeds best on rich lands or clay soils. Should be cut for hay at the time of first flower-
ing. Sow three bushels per acre if alone.

PERENNIAL RYE GRASS. Lolium perenne. <A perennial forming large and broad tufts. Grows best
on stiff, wet soils, and on heavy clay or marshy lands where the soil is good it is one of the best
pasture Grasses.

RED OR CREEPING FESCUE. Festuca Rubra. A splendid Grass for light sandy soils. Extreme
drought resister. Valuable in seeding banks and exposed locations, binding drifting sands, and as
lawn grass for shady spots. Forms a very close, durable turf, suitable for putting greens.

RED TOP. Agrostis vulgaris. _A good permanent Grass, which grows naturally in cold wet soils. It
should be grown in cultivation in similar situations. A perennial with long creeping stems and un-
derground runners; one of the best bottom: grasses bearing large numbers of fine root leaves, making it
invaluable for sowing with erect tufted Grasses, such as Orchard and Timothy, filling in between the
clumps and producing a continuous turf. Sow four bushels per acre if alone.

RED TOP. CLEAN SEED. Chaff and weeds sifted out; pure fancy seed. We recommend this to all who
desire the best results, as its purity and excellence insure satisfaction fo: farm, park, or lawn. Ex-
cellent for restoring worn-out swards. Sow thirty pounds per acre if alone.

REED CANARY GRASS. Phalaris Arundinacea. A creeping perennial. Grows in alluvial marshy lands,
sides of rivers, lakes, ditches, and rivulets. Its seed affords food for trout and wild fowl. A strong
growing grass, but eaten with apparent relish by cattle and horses when cut prior to flowering.

CLOVERS. |

ALFALFA or LUCERNE. Medicago sativa. The chief merit of Alfalfa is the fact that it can be cut three

or four times in a season. The soil should be deep, rich, and well prepared. It does not succeed on

compact clay, nor on land with impervious subsoil. The roots shoot downwards, reaching ten to

fifteen feet below the surface, and will therefore resist the driest weather. 60° |13.50 | .25 22.50

RED MEDIUM. Trifolium pratense. The best clover for all practical purposes. Succeeds best on rich,
warm loams, containing humus. Lime and potash are essential for its best development. A biennial, |
but _by close pasturage may be made to last several years. 60 |13.25 Zon lee2.00
SCARLET or CRIMSON CLOVER. Trifolium incarnatum. This annual Clover thrives best on warm,
loose, sandy soil. Its chief value is as a winter or early spring pasture crop and as a green manure. A
rapid growing, nitrogen-storing plant, and as such is invaluable for growth in orchards and wherever it
can occupy the land from July to December. Sow twenty pounds per acre. May be sown at any

time from May to October. : 60 | 7.25 15 | 1200
WHITE CLOVER. Trifolium repens. This Clover should always be sown on permanent or temporary pas- |

Cow Peas. Jor fodder or soiling. A valuable and nutritious green forage or hay crop. Enriches poor : |
land; improves good land. One of the best and cheapest ways of improving soil is the plowing
under of luguminous crops. Cow Peas have been found superior for this purpose, especially on
medium or light soils. Like Clover they absorb nitrogen from the atmosphere, the roots reach
deep into the soil and bring up the necessary potash, thus making a complete and natural fertil-
izer. For fertilizing purposes, Cow Peas are superior to Clover from the fact that the foliage is
greater, besides making full growth in from 3 to 4 months. Sow as early as May 10 or as late as
July, one (1) bushel to the acre in drills, 24 bushels to the acre broadcast. 56 3.50 |
Oats, Welcome. ‘This is now a well-known and extensively grown variety, and is one of the heaviest,
handsomest, and most productive white varieties grown. They stool heavily with extra strong,
straight straw, standing well. Succceds well in a wide range of climate, and under a great variety

Peas for Field Culture Only. White Canada. This variety and the Green Field are the best two Peas
for general cultivation, and they afford most profitable crops for fattening stock. They have been
grown by dairymen with very satisfactory results, following winter Rye, which was cut green in
June for dairy cows, then stubble turned under and sown to mixed Peas and Oats, furnishing a
large amount of forage in August, when Grass pastures usually short, and producing a supply of
milk as abundant as in early summer months. Sow 2 bushels to the acre; if with Oats, one bushel
of each. Per peck, .60. Green Field. Per peck, .60. Each, 60 2.00 |
Rape, Dwarf Essex. A forage plant of great merit, easily grown in any part of the United States,
and of great value for sheep and lambs. One acre of Rape is sufficient to pasture 10 to 15 lambs
for two to two and one-half months. It is often sown broadcast, about 5 lbs. to the acre, but
will yield much better if drilled about 2 lbs. to the acre, in rows 22 inches apart, and cultivated

until the plants are too large. Seed may be sown in May, but preferably in June or July. 56 | 6.00 | .12 | 10.00
Rye, Spring. Sow asa “catch” crop, where winter grain has failed. The straw is shorter and stiffer
than the winter variety, and is always easily secured, while the grain is of equal value. 56 1575 |

Rye, Fall or Winter. Sow in August and September. Prepare the ground as for Wheat and sow
at the rate of 14 bushels per acre. This has no equal as a crop to be used for late fall and early
spring pasture, and is one of the best to turn under for green manure. 56 1.50 |

Sand Vetch, or Hairy Veteh. Vicia villosa. An annual, a native of western Asia, has been cultivated |
in this country and Europe for about 50 years. It should be sown at the rate of from 4 to 6 pecks per
acre, broadcast or in drills, from August 15 to October 1, and with it as a supporting crop to raise the
vines up off the ground there should be planted from 2 to 4 pecks of winter Wheat, Oats, or Rye.
It should be cut while the Vetch is in full bloom. It may be planted in spring in order to supply

an early green crop for soiling purposes, or in midsummer for late autumn forage. 60 8.00 | .15 | 12.00 ;

Sunflower, Mammoth Russian. ‘This is highly prized by poultry raisers and farmers as a cheap food
for fowls, stock, and also for fuel. It is immensely productive, and can be raised cheaper than
corn, as any waste piece of ground will suffice. It is the best egg-producing food known. |= 28 2.00 | .10 6.00

Wild Rice. Zizania aquatica. The only one of our native plants furnishing food for wild fowl, ducks, ’

Nothing on the market is as well adapted to cover up shortages in hay crops as are the Millets. They can
be sown up to the end of July, and will make a valuable catch crop.

Millets will yield quick pasturage on almost any soil. They are rank feeders, however, and do best
on a fertile, mellow soil, which has had a liberal application of barnyard manure. Sow in June or July,
broadeast, one to one and one-half bushels of seed per acre, or drill one-half bushel. Cut (if for hay) as
soon as the heads are formed.

MILLET, HUNGARIAN. Panicum Hungariensis. An annual forage plant, which germinates, readily and
withstands drought. If cut early, makes an excellent hay, often yielding two or three tons per acre.
Sow from June to August, using about one and one-half bushels to the acre.

23 to 4 ft.

MILLET, GERMAN or GOLDEN. Panicum Germanicum. An improved variety, growing from three to
five feet high. Under some circumstances it will yield more per acre than the preceding.

MILLET, JAPANESE. Panicum Crus Gali. Imported from Japan by Professor Brooks, of the Massachu-
setts Agricultural College. Has yielded in America about 7 tons dry straw and 90 bushels of seed per
acre. Height, 6 ft. Has numerous side leaves and heads a foot in length. The fodder is relished by

two pecks per acre.

MILLET, COMMON. Panicum Miliaceum. Excellent for forage. Requires a dry, light, rich soil. Height,

FARQUHAR’S FLOWER SEEDS, ANNUALS

The plants in the following list all bloom the first season from seeds. Many plants not annuals botanically, are included
because they bloom the first season, and for cultural purposes may be treated as annuals.

THE ANNUAL FLOWERS are equally valuable to professional and amateur gardeners. Few cultivators realize the vast
possibilities they afford at a minimum of cost. For cut flowers, garden beds, either in masses of color or for foliage effects, they furnish
ample material. A few of them like the Asters, Poppies, Sweet Peas, and Nasturtiums are well known and largely used; there are,
however, many beautiful species which we enumerate in the following list, which are seldom seen, and which would be appreciated were
they once grown.

Culture of Pansies : — Pansies thrive best in a cool, moist, but well drained soil, enriched with well rotted barnyard manure or fine ground
bone. Seeds sown in spring in a partially shaded situation will produce fine plants for autumn flowering. The finest blooms are to be obtained,
however, by sowing in July or August, giving the plants protection during winter, when they will bloom profusely in the spring and summer.

Hardy perennials are easily raised
from seeds, they may be sown
either in spring or during the
early summer. The simplest
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.

WHAT THE PRESS SAYS DAHLIA CHARLES LANIER.

From the NEW YORK TRIBUNE
Sept. 26, 1907.

At the Dahlia Show at the American BEST NOVELTY OF THE YEAR.

Institute Exhibit.

Probably the most striking
of the new Dahlia specimens is
a brilliant yellow, its round
blossom as lesee as the bead
of a baby, from the Charles
Lanier Estate at Lenox.

Standing high and proud on
their long stems in a huge vase
in the centre of a table, these
magnificent blossoms caused
audible exclamations as they
caught the eyes of the visitors.
This is their debut in New
York, although they were re-
cently shown in Boston.

From the NEW YORK TIMES
Sept. 27, 1907.
Newest Specimens at the Dahlia Show.

The most noticeable blossom
was a big Charles Lanier which
is known as the “show”
dahlia. It is the old-fashioned
quilled flower but of a mam-
moth size and _ beautiful
yellow color. This was raised
by A. H. Wingett on the estate
of Charles Lanier, Lenox.
Mass , and named for the pro-
prietor. Mr. Wingett has been
at work developing the plant
for the last three or four years,
and it has now been awarded
first prize and a certificate,
which is a scientific sanction
of it as a new flower.

The Charles Lanier dahlia
probably will be sold before
the exhibition closes and should
bring a good price, for it stands
alone in its class.

From HORTICULTURE
Sept. 7, 1907.
Dahlia Show at Boston.

The Dahlia Show at Horti-
cultural Hall, Boston, this
week is unquestionably the
finest exhibition of dahlias
ever given in America.

The sensation of the show is
A. H. Wingett’s Charles Lanier,
a four-year-old, deep yellow in
color, which may be appro-
priately described the Col.
Appleton of the dahlias.

FARQUHAR’S TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS.

The great value of Tuberous-Rooted Begonias for Lawn Beds
and Borders is now appreciated. They bloom continuously from
early summer until frost, producing a profusion of large and gor-
geous flowers. Throughout Europe they are used very extensively,
particularly in the beautiful parks of Paris. ‘

They are of easiest cultivation, rarely attacked by insects or
blight, and succeed in any good soil which is kept moderately moist.

The tubers we offer tee been specially grown for us by cele-
brated European cultivators, and we feel assured that they are not
surpassed by any strain in commerce. Mailed free at dozen rates.

SINGLE-FLOWERING VARIETIES.
These are best adapted to outdoor planting.
Mixed, all colors. Doz., .50; per 100, $3.50; per 1,000, $30.00.

In this new form the flowers are beautifully ruffled or fringed
like a giant Petunia, and the petals are interestingly bearded. An
exhibit of these before the Massachusetts Horticultural Society
attracted great interest.

Cultural Directions. The tubers may be started in February or March, either singly in small pots, or set two inches apart .n flat boxes.
The soil should be light, containing plenty of leaf mould and sand. In planting, care should be taken to set the crown of the tuber, which 1s
usually somewhat depressed, upwards. The tubers should be covered half an inch with light soil and watered sparingly until they start, after which
more water may be given. The temperature should be 60 to 70 degrees. The started plants, when intended for bedding purposes, may be transferred
to the beds in the open ground early in June, by which time they should be in bloom. The plants should be set ten or twelve inches apart.

Although there is much to be gained by starting the tubers early as just described, they may be planted unstarted in the open ground
beds in the last week of May or later, with excellent results.

They will thrive either in full sunshine or partial shade, but when fully exposed to the sun the bedsmust be kept moist. A wind-swept
situation should be avoided.

Allen Winden Farm, Lenox, Mass.
Dear Sirs: It gives me pleasure to tell you that the Tuberous
Begonia bulbs we bought of you have given us every satisfaction. I can
particularly recommend your strain for fine bold flowers of good form
and color, while the vigor of the bulbs cannot be surpassed.
Very truly yours,
A. H. WINGETT, Supt.

“The Begonias you sent me last spring are the finest I have ever
grown, remarkable for their free-flowering and for the size of their
blooms. Many of the Flowers have measured six and a quar-
ter inches in diameter.”’

FANCY-LEAVED CALADIUMS.

Wherever high-class decorations are required during summer,
these plants are indispensable. When grown in pots they may be
used in the conservatory or the house with equal satisfaction. For
table decorations, for jardinieres, and for enlivening groups of
palms or ferns, they are most serviceable. They are quite as de-
sirable for bedding purposes, and may be planted out after the
middle of June in the sunniest situations if well watered, or in
partial shade, but they should be sheltered from strong winds. The
tubers should be started in the greenhouse in February or March,
and if intended for out-door beds gradually hardened off before
being transferred to the open ground.

R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO., BOSTON. SUMMER-FLOWERING BULBS.

HARDY LILIES.

The increased production of many varieties of these in Japan
has greatly reduced their cost, and in consequence their use has now
become very general.

It is our Opinion that we should plant the bulbs much deeper
than we have done heretofore. While traveling in Japan, we found
that the bulbs of the wild lilies were usually twelve to eighteen
inches below the surface, and we gathered the finest flowers from
specimens growing on mountains of decaying lava where
they had abundant rainfall and ample drainage. We believe that
varieties like Auratum and Speciosum would be favored by being
set ten or twelve inches deep and would be less affected by frost and
drought. The beds should be thoroughly covered with leaves or
litter during winter.

Our Autumn Catalogue contains a complete list of hardy lilies.
most of which can be supplied in spring if desired. We recommend
fall planting for all the early flowering sorts.

Auratum. (Golden-rayed Japanese Lily.) Flowers 6 to 8 inches
in width, pure white, with a wide band of gold running through
the centre of each petal and numerous crimson spots. Hach, .25;
doz., $2.50; 100, $15.00.

Krameri. Pure blush pink, fragrant and beautiful trumpet-shaped

flowers. 3 feet; blooms in August. Each, .30; doz., $2.50; 100,
$15.00.
Longiflorum. Large trumpet-shaped pure white flowers. 2 feet,

strong bulbs. Each, .20; doz., $1.75; 100, $12.00.

Speciosum or Laneifolium. The most popular class of Japanese
Lilies, their hardiness, free growth, and branching habit render-
ing them most valuable for permanent beds and borders. They
grow from 3 to 4 feet in height and continue in bloom from August
until frost.

Speciosum Album.
100, $18.00.

Speciosum Melpomene. White, suffused with darkest crimson.
Each, .20; doz., $2.00; 100, $14.00.

Speciosum Rubrum. White, shaded and spotted with rosy
crimson. Each, .20; doz., $2.00; 100, $14.00.

MADEIRA VINE.

A favorite tuberous-rooted climbing plant with dense and
beautiful shining foliage and of very rapid growth, twining on
strings to a great height or forming garlandsin many fanciful forms.
It will grow anywhere, but does best in a warm, sheltered, sunny
location. It is also a very pretty plant for training around the
windows in the house. Doz., .40; 100, $2.50.

HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS.

Anemone Japonica,

THE OLD-FASHIONED HARDY FLOWERS. The favorites

of old-time gardens are again popular, and deservedly so. No feat-
ure of the garden can be more satisfactory than a well-arranged
Hardy Plant border, producing from April to November a continuous
succession of charming flowers much more interesting than the usual
greenhouse assortment, and equally valuable for garden embellish-
ment and cutting purposes, The Hardy Plants have the advantage
of greater permanency, requiring only cultivation, enriching, a slight
muich during winter, and an occasional checking of the more robust
growers to keep the plantation in good condition for years.

Where early flowers are desired we advocate the introduction
of groups of Narcissi, Scillas, which bloom in April and May and
should be planted in Oe tober, as well as Montbrietias, the hardier
species of Gladioli and Lilies for summer blooming, and which may
be planted in spring.

We limit our list to varieties which have been found generally
hardy and most desirable for the severe climate of New England.

Single plants of Perennials will be furnished at the following
rates: Plants at $1.00 per dozen, 10 cents each; plants at $1.25 and
$1.50 per dozen, 15 cents each ; plants at $1.75 and $2.00 per dozen,

GERMAN IRISES. Tris Germanica. True Fleur-de-Lis.

Irises require rich soil and abundance of water. The finest blooms are
obtained from established clumps; consequently when planted they should
remain undisturbed. Set the roots in clumps of three or more, four inches
deep, and protect with leaves or other mulch during winter. We advise
early autumn planting.

In the descriptions (S) is used to signify standards or the erect petals;
(F) falls or the drooping petals.

Each, 15 cents; dozen, $1.50; 100, $10.00 (except where otherwise
priced).

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

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;

The very best fertilizer for grape vines, fruit trees, shrubs, and
trees of all kinds. The pieces of bone vary from one-fourth inch
to one inch in size. Should be used at setting out, mixed with the
soil to the depth of a foot or more. Price, in bags or barrels, 24
cents per pound; ton, $38.00. *

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.

is a non-poisonous powder, and can be applied dry just as it
comes from the package, or it can be mixed with water and
sprayed on vines. 124 Ibs. to 80 gallons water mixed thoroughly.
It is death to the potato, squash, and cucumber bugs, currant
and tomato worms, and many other plant-eating pests. As Bug
Death contains no arsenic it will not burn or blight the vine,
thus giving the potato a better chance to mature, which means a
more starchy potato, and one less liable to rot, and the extra
yield of marketable potatoes will more than pay the entire
expense. Price, 1-lb. package, .15; 3-lb. package, .35; 5-lb.

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.

4 Blades, 10-inch Wheel, 64-inch Cylinder, Train of 3 Gears,
Double Wheel.
One of the lightest draft mowers manufactured; made of iron and steel.

amount of durability. :

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.

brass cylinder two inches inside diameter and eight inches long, brass plunger with leather bucket, brass
lower valves, and brass rod, also a brass screw spout to which hose is attached by ascrew coupling. It has
a large air chamber, by means of which the spray is strong and continuous.

with a companion gear at the upper end of a steel shaft; at the lower end of
the shaft is a horizontal wooden bar, to which are attached two upright
paddles.

brush on the agitator arm which swings under the strainer, keeps the dirt
brushed off and prevents clogging the pump.

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
TRUCK,

By a simple arrangement of the axle the barrel can be detached
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
attachments can be supplied for use on the same truck when the
barrel is detached, viz.: Hand-cart box, $3.25; leaf rack, $5.50;
extra barrels with trunions, $3.00; sprinkler attachment, for
