FARQUHAR’S BULBS FOR NATURALIZATION.

HE increasing practice of planting bulbs extensively in the Rock Garden, Woodlands, Wild Garden and among Grass produces an effect which
is nearer to nature than any other style of gardening. Daffodils, Crocuses, Lilies, Trilliums, etc., growing amid such surroundings have
a charm that is not to be found in the more conventional beds and borders of the cultivated garden. The following bulbous plants are es-
pecially ‘suitable for natural plantations. ;
A full description of the following varieties will be found in the body of the catalogue.

FARQUHAR’S GIANT DARWIN TULIPS

qe colors range from the palest lilac to purplish black, including shades of rose, crimson, violet, brown, white, ete. The Darwin Tulips are the
strongest race of all, their massive leaves being often four inches broad and frequently grow two to three feet in height. They bloom with the
Columbines, three or four weeks after the Single Early Tulips. Clumps of them along the edge of shrubbery and in hardy plant borders are very effec-
tive. They are especially beautiful when cut for vases. The figure following the name indicates the relative time of flowering. Those marked * are
the best for forcing.

Many stocks of the newer and finer Tulip Bulbs are in surplus this year in Holland, consequently
we are able to offer them at very moderate prices for first quality bulbs.

FARQUHAR’S SINGLE MAY-FLOWERING OR COTTAGE GARDEN TULIPS.

If by Parcel Post add postage at zone rates; weight per 100, 7 lbs.

The May-Flowering Tulips are usually in full bloom about Memorial Day and generally last well into June. Not only do they prolong the
Tulip season, but in grandeur of form and richness of their colors surpass most of the earlier classes. They are splendid subjects for natural planta-
tions, for clumps in herbaceous perennial borders as well as for formal beds. For cutting they are even better than the early tulips—the flowers being
stronger and lasting longer.

A distinct species of late-flowering Tulips, producing enormous flowers of
most brilliant colors and interesting forms. The flowers before opening resemble
the neck of a parrot, and the petals are curiously cut or fringed. These Tulips
are exceedingly showy and worthy of more general cultivation.

FARQUHAR’S SINGLE EARLY TULIPS.

If by Parcel Post add postage at zone rates; weight per 100, 7 lbs.

Tulips are such universal favorites that it is scarcely necessary to dwell upon their merits. In them we possess a range of colors and
combination of shades which no other class affords; besides, the standard sorts are so reasonable in price that they can now be planted in quan-
tity. For bedding, pel culture and forcing for cut flowers in Winter thev are invaluable.

Mixed Single Early Tulips with Pansies.

CULTURE. The cultural directions given for hyacinths on page 9 can be applied to Tulips, except that the bulbs being smaller must not
be planted quite so deep. Four to five inches to the bottom of the bulb is deep enough and a distance of 4 to 6 inches between the bulbs is suffi-
cient. They may be planted in October and November before the ground freezes. For pots, six to eight bulbs in a 7-inch pan is very satisfactory.

FARQUHAR’S SPECIAL RAINBOW MIXTURE. The varieties included in this mixture are grown separately, and are all popular
large-flowered bedding sorts of decided merit. The colors are carefully proportioned, and include white, yellow, pink, scarlet, crimson and
many beautiful shades and combinations of these colors. The sorts are selected to flower at nearly the same time and with slight variation
in height. For massed beds and grouping our Rainbow Mixture is unsurpassed. The bulbs offered are of the largest size and finest

quality. 70 cents per doz.; $5.00 per 100; $48.00 per 1,000.
SUPERFINE MIXTURE. Extra quality bulbs in many beautiful and varied sorts, flowering nearly together. 60 cents per doz.; $4.00
per 100; $36.00 per 1,000.

BOTANICAL TULIPS and SEEGIES

Charming wild species, mostly native of Asia, these showy Tulips make splendid subjects for naturalizing in the Rock Garden or Herbaceous

Border.

Clusiana. (Lady Tulip.) A dainty dwarf species with small brightly
colored blooms. The outer petals are brilliant cherry-red, inner petals
creamy-white, base violet-blue. Select a warm, sunny part of the
rockery or border and plant the bulbs about seven inches deep. Height,

8in. $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100.

Eichleri. A rare and beautiful Tulip from Turkestan. The flowers are
very large and strikingly colored fiery-crimson, and have glossy-black
centers shaded orange-gold. Plant in good soil about six to eight inches
deep and in groups for the best results. Height, 10 inches. $2.75 per
doz.; $22.00 per 100.

Greigii. A gorgeous species with dazzling, flaming orange-scarlet flowers,
with coal-black center blotch. Plant in a good sunny situation in the
rockery or border and place the bulbs about six inches deep. $6.50 per
doz.; $50.00 per 100.

In such favorable surroundings, when once established, they will increase and flower in the greatest profusion.

Florentina Odorata. (Wild English Tulip.) One of the earliest of all
flowering bulbs producing exquisite, sweetly-scented flowers on long
graceful stems. The blooms have a dainty drooping habit and are clear,
buttereup-yellow in color. Planted in a sheltered part of the garden,
this charming class will flourish for years. The delicately drooping
flowers with their delicious fragrance make splendid cut-flowers. Plant
about six inches deep. Height, 18 in. $1.10 per doz.; $8.00 per 100.

Kaufmanniana. A desirable dwarf variety with immense flowers creamy-
white in color, tinged rosy-red; centre marked canary-yellow. The
best situation for this Tulip is a semi-shady spot, preferably in the shelter
of large rocks in the rockery, or under shrubs or trees in the border,
where it should be massed for the most pleasing effect. Plant about six
inches deep. Height, 6in. $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100.

HYACINTHS. oa

CULTURE OF HYACINTHS.

Hyacinths in Pots. It is important in the pot culture of the Hyacinth to have rich, light soil—if possible, a compost of one-third decayed turf, one-third old rotten
cow manure, and the remainder equal parts of sharp sand and leaf-mould. This compost should be made a few weeks before being used. If the bulbs are to be potted
singly, pots five inches in diameter are the proper size, and the special Hyacinth pots which are about two inches deeper than ordinary pots, are preferable. For drain-
age, cover the hole in the pot with a piece of broken pot, and over this place a layer of moss. Break off any offsets which appear at the base of the bulbs, and in potting
place each bulb so that its top shall be half an inch below the surface of the soil and an inch below the rim of the pot. The soil should be of usual natural moisture, and
should be pressed moderately firm. The filled pots may be placed in a cold frame where there is protection from frost, and well watered. An excellent plan is to place
them on a bed of moist, sifted coal ashes, covering the pots to a depth of six inches with the same material. When well rooted, which will be in about six weeks, the bulbs
may be brought indoors and forced. For the first two or three weeks they should be kept in a temperature not exceeding 50 degrees. Success in forcing depends much on
their having strong roots before being brought to the light. The top grows rapidly, and unless the roots are started much in advance they are unable to nourish the plant,
and failure results. Hyacinths for early use may be potted in September or October; late planting is not advisable, as the bulbs deteriorate; when desired fer late use, it is
better to pot them in October and keep them in a cold frame above freezing until it is desired to force them into bloom.

To obtain dwarf foliage and fine flower spikes, Hyacinths when being forced should have plenty of manure-water, fresh air, and should be kept very near the glass.
The blooms last much longer if shaded from the sun.

Hyacinths in the Open Garden. The ground should be dug to a depth of at least fifteen inches, and enriched with plenty of well-rotted cow manure. Hya-
cinths may be planted from September until Winter sets in; although if the highest success is sought they should be in the ground by the end of October. Bulbs planted
early develop roots in the autumn, and these, if protected from injury by freezing and thawing alternately during the Winter, enable the bulbs to produce much larger
flower spikes than if the roots are not developed until Spring. Frost reaching the bulbs raises them up, thus detaching them from their roots. Protection may be afforded
by covering the beds with straw or leaves to a depth of six or eight inches, which should be removed early in the Spring. Hyacinths should be set six inches below the sur-
face of the ground and six inches apart.

FARQUHAR’S SELECTED NAMED BEDDING AND FORCING HYACINTHS.

If by Parcel Post add postage at zone rates; weight per doz., 2 lbs.

This highly decorative class of Hyacinths is of unsurpassed excellence for producing fine color effects in public parks and private grounds.
Being of distinct and decided shades, of almost uniform height, and blooming at the same time, they admit of the most artistic grouping. They
are also very desirable for forcing singly in pots or grouped in bulb pans.

These are well developed, sound flowering bulbs, superior in size and strength to the Mixed Hyacinth usually offered. They are specially adapted
for groups in borders and informal beds, where they will give a brilliant display of very handsome flowers and on account of their low price are also
extensively forced for Winter-blooming and cutting. Care is exercised to include only sorts which bloom at the same time and are of nearly uniform
height.

CROCUSES.

The bulbs should be set two inches deep and should be planted in October or early in November to insure success. They are very effective
when combined with Daffodils, and other Spring flowers. For a natural effect they can be scattered in handfuls and planted where they lie. Cro-
cuses may also be grown indoors either in pots or bulb pans in loam or in dishes filled with wet moss in which the bulbs are set closely, half an inch

below the surface.

Crocuses in the Rock Garden.

WILD CROCUSES and CROCUS-SPECIES.

These charming flowers may be divided into two classes, Spring-blooming and
Autumn-blooming. They are equally valuable for rock gardens or borders.

AUTUMN-BLOOMING SPECIES.

The following varieties make a welcome addition to the few late-flowering plants
available for the border or rock .garden. The brightly colored blooms appear in
October followed in the Spring by the foliage. It is well to plant these bulbs as soon
as possible after arrival from Holland. Set bulbs about 2 inches deep.

Sativus. (Saffron Crocus). Showy blooms of purplish-lilac with a deep pencilling
of violet ornamented by the rich orange stigmas. Will make a brilliant showing
sitet a season or two, in which to become established. 60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per
100.

Speciosus. Bright violet-blue handsomely feathered; orange anthers and pure
yellow throat. Decidedly attractive in the rockery or border. 75 cts. per doz.;
$5.00 per 100; $48.00 per 1000.

Zonatus. Rosy-lilac with bright yellow center and orange zone, a color combination
of unrivalled beauty. Plant bulbs in groups in a favored spot of the garden and the
flowers will appear in a surprisingly short time. 75 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100;

$45.00 per 1000.
SPRING-BLOOMING SPECIES.

These have flowers a trifle smaller than the Dutch varieties, but are desirable for
naturalizing in Rock Gardens and Borders. If given a good sunny place they will
bloom very often before the snow is gone. Plant the bulbs about two inches deep.
Susianus. (Cloth of Gold) Deep golden-yellow with rich brown markings on outer

petals. Given a suitable sunny situation this bulb will bloom for years with little

or nocare. 60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100.

Thommasinianus. A charming, distinct species with a slender deep throat. The
, color varies from delicate mauve to deep purple in charming variety. The bulbs

: : should be planted in a warm exposure where they will increase rapidly. 60 cts.

MISCELLANEOUS BULBS.

FREESIAS.

The gracefully branched, fragrant flowers are of long duration, and being freely
produced are profitable for commercial purposes, and satisfactory to amateurs.
If planted early they may be had in bloom by Christmas. Plant eight or ten bulbs
in a six-inch bulb pan, covering them one inch. The soil best suited is a mixture
of rich loam, leaf-mold or humus and sharp sand. For a succession of blooms,
bulbs may be potted from August to November. It is essential that root-growth
be encouraged by placing the potted bulbs i in a cool temperature for several weeks,
when they may be brought to bloom in a gentle bottom heat.

LILIUM REGALE. (The Regal Lily.)

If by Parcel Post add postage at zone rates; weight per dozen, 7 lbs.

This grand new species is acknowledged to be the finest lily in cultivation. The
flowers are white, slightly suffused with pink, with a beautiful shade of canary-
yellow at the centre of the trumpet. It is delightfully fragrant, reminding one
of the Jasmine and lacking the heavy oppressive odor of most lilies. In this section
it blooms early in July. It is absolutely hardy and when established increases
rapidly. Plant the bulbs 5 or 6 inches deep, and after the ground is frozen, cover
over with leaves or other litter to prevent alternate freezing and thawing. (Octo-
ber and November delivery.) Large Bulbs, $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz.; $75.00

per 100.
LILIUM CANDIDUM. (Tre Madonna Lily.)

If by Parcel Post add postage at zone rates; weight per doz., 10 lbs.

This beautiful lily of the purest satiny-white, borne majestically on tall straight
stems, is one of the first of all to bloom, the flowers opening in June just at the time
when the hardy blue Larkspur is at its best. The two may be interplanted, pro-
ducing a contrast in blue and white of unrivalled beauty. Plantings in the hardy
border and amongst shrubbery is equally effective. The bulbs should be set in a
handful of sand, slightly tilted on their sides, to ensure perfect drainage. Set them
about 5 or 6 inches deep, and protect during winter with a mulch of leaves and
other coarse litter. The bulbs we offer are grown for us in France and are the large
variety, producing pure white, deliciously fragrant flowers. (September and Octo-

LILIES FOR, FORGING

If by Parcel Post add postage at zone rates; weight per dozen bulbs, 10 lbs.

The bulbs may be potted from August onward in a compost of equal
parts turfy loam, leaf mold, rotted cow manure and sand. It is best
to start them in pots not exceeding twice their own diameter, in which
they may remain until started eight inches or more. They should be
transferred then to larger pots in which to bloom, exercising great care
not to disturb the roots or break away the soil from about them, and
setting them considerably deeper in the larger pots. This method pre-
vents the soil from becoming sour, and enables the roots forming at the
base of the stem to become feeders, greatly increasing the number and
size of the blossoms.

Special Notice. Many of the late flowering Lilies cannot be shipped from Japan until October, and to save our custoiners the annoyance and expense
of shipments as they mature, we have decided to send all the early varieties approximately September 15-30. The late sorts, being subject to delays of steamers,
etc., will be forwarded early in November, or as soon thereafter as they arrwwe. We advise the preparation of the Lily-beds or borders early in Autumn, cover-
ing them with four to six inches of leaves or other litter, to prevent the ground freezing until the bulbs arrive. The late sorts comprise the following: Auratum,
Batemanni, Henryi and Speciosum. Lilium Candidum will be shipped on arrival, as it is essential that they should make a Fall growth to insure perfect blooms

the next season.

Sees is the best month in which to plant Pzonies, as they then
make a root growth before Winter and bloom next Spring. They

require a good rich, deep soil and an abundant supply of water during
the growing season.

When enriching the ground the use of too much
fresh manure near the roots should be avoided. The roots should be
planted so that the eyes will be 2 to 3 inches below the surface. Too deep
planting is a frequent cause for shy flowering.

HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS.

OLD-FASHIONED HARDY GARDEN FLOWERS.

HE favorites of the old-time gardens are coming to the front, and deservedly so. No feature 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 inter-
esting than the usual greenhouse assortment, and equally valuable for garden embellishment and cutting purposes. The Hardy Plants have
the advantage of greater permanency, requiring only cultivation, enriching, a slight mulch during Winter, and occasional checking of the more
robust growers to keep the plantation in good condition for years.
We limit the present list to varieties which admit of being planted at this season and which have been found generally hardy and de-
sirable for the severe climate of New England.

Single plants of hardy perennials will be furnished at the following rates: Plants at $2.00 per dozen, a cents each; plants at $2.50
per dozen, 30 cents each; plants at $3.00 per dozen, 35 cents each; plants at $3.50 per dozen, 40 cents each.

POT-GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS

FARQUHAR’S

Cultural Directions. The Strawberry is easily cultivated: abundant
crops can be obtained from a variety of soils, differing widely in character,
from a light sand to a heavy clay. The best soil is a deep sandy loam, but
any soil suited to the growth of ordinary field or garden crops may be
trusted to successfully grow the Strawberry. The soil should be broken
up and pulverized by spade-trenching or subsoil-plowing, enriching with
good stable manure to a depth of fully two feet, the quantity of manure
to be determined by the condition of the soil. 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 a half feet between
the outside rows of adjoining beds left
for a pathway. They may also be
planted in single rows three feet apart
and one foot apart in the rows.

“SELECT: VARIETIES OF Sii:RAVVBERRIES:

bright red clear through, and pleasing spicy flavor; it is a great cropper

FARQUHAR’S SPECIAL LAWN GRASS MIXTURES

FARQUHAR’S “EVERGREEN” LAWN GRASS

A mixture of the finest American and European grasses adapted to lawn-making. The formula for this mixture is the result of a life-time
of practical experience in making and maintaining lawns. Neither pains nor expense are spared in obtaining grasses of high vitality and purity. It

is our constant aim to make Farquhar’s Evergreen Lawn Grass the best, purest and most permanent Lawn Grass sold. For the formation of new

lawns sow not less than 100 lbs. per acre. One pound will sow a plot 20 x 20 feet or 400 square feet. For renovating existing turf, use one-half
this quantity. Price per lb., 60 cts.; 5 lbs., $2.90; 10 lbs., $5.75; 100 lbs., $55.00; Bushel of 25 lbs., $13.75

FARQUHAR’S “BOSTON PARKS” LAWN SEED

This formula has been used for many years in the Boston Park Department and in the Metropolitan Parks of Massachusetts. It is un-
questionably one of the best mixtures for parks or where a free-growing, hardy-wearing turf is desired. Sow not less than 75 lbs. per acre and in
many cases 100 lbs. will be an advantage. Price, 65 cents per lb.; 10 lbs., $6.25; 100 lbs. $60.00. 25 lbs. and upwards at the 100-lb. rate.

FARQUHAR’S “SHADY PLACE” MIXTURE

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.
Sow at rate of one pound to 300 sq. ft. Price per lb., 60 ets.; 5 lbs.,
$2.90; 10 lbs., $5.75; 100 Ibs., $55.00.

FARQUHAR’S “TERRACE” MIXTURE

A mixture of strong, deep-rooted Grasses for banks or terraces. Al-
though the Grasses are strong and deep-rooted, they will produce a fine
green velvety surface, and also prevent washing away during heavy rains.
Use one pound to each 300 sq. ft. Price per lb., 60 cts.; 10 lbs.,
$5.75; 100 lbs., $55.00.

FARQUHAR’S “SEA-SHORE” MIXTURE

A combination of various dwarf deep-rooted Grasses adapted for
lawns near the salt water. The seeds should be sown early in the season,
so that the young plants may be well established before warm weather.

FARQUHAR’S “FAIRGREEN” 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 vel-
vety surface which improves from year to year if given proper care. It
contains no clover, which is objectionable on account of making the sur-
face slippery. Use about 150 lbs. to the acre. Price per lb., 65 ects.;
100 Ibs., $60.00; 1000 lbs., $550.00.

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. Sow one pound to each 200 sq. ft., 75
to 100 lbs. for the average green. Price per lb., 90 cts.; 10 lbs., $8.50;
100 lbs., $80.00.

FARQUHAR’S “TENNIS-COURT” MIXTURE

A mixture of fine Grasses, consisting of those varieties which are

adapted to produce a close elastic turf. Use at rate of one pound to
200 sq. ft. Price per lb., 90 cts.; 10 lbs., $8.50; 100 lbs., $80.00.

FARQUHAR’S LAWN FERTILIZER

A strictly high grade fertilizer, highly concentrated, and containing all the elements needed for the perfect development of the lawn. The use
of Farquhar’s Lawn Fertilizer for top-dressing does away with the practice of covering the lawn with stable manure. It should be sown broad-
cast in the Spring or Fall, and if possible should be applied in dull weather but if used during warm weather, soak down with a hose afler applying.
4 AO is sui eny for a space 15 x 20 feet; 800 to 1000 lbs. per acre. Price per ton, $65.00; 100 lbs., $4.00; 50 Ibs., $2.25; 25 Ibs.,

355 Sey cents.

Sow at rate of one pound to 300 sq. ft., or 120 lbs. per acre. Price per
lb., 65 ets.; 10 lbs. $6.25; 100 lbs., $60.00.

FARM AND FIELD GRASSES.

Prices Subject to Market Fluctuations.

Chewing’s New Zealand Fescue. A splendid grass of creeping habit;
forming a close and lasting turf. It thrives on light, sandy soils and is
a great drought resister, but it does equally well on heavy land, also
shady places. Should be included in all lawn mixtures. (24 lbs. per
bushel.) Per lb., 65 ets.; 100 lbs., $60.00.

Crested Dog’s Tail. (Cynosurus cristatus.) A perennial valued for its
dwarf habit and its hardiness. Sow two bushels per acre. (30 lbs. per
bushel.) Per lb., 85 cts.; 100 lbs., $80.00.

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. (14 lbs. per bushel.) Per lb., 60 cts.;
100 Ibs., $55.00.

Meadow Fesecue. (Festuca pratensis.) A perennial which succeeds best
on rich moist loams. A heavy yielder on soils perfectly adapted to it,
and also an excellent pasture Grass. Sow two and a half bushels per
acre. (15 lbs. per bushel.) Per lb., 50 cts.; 100 lbs., $45.00.

Orchard Grass.

ing. Sow three bushels per acre if alone.
35 cts.; 100 lbs., $32.00.

Perennial Rye Grass. (Lolium perenne.) A perennial forming large and
broad tufts. Grows best on stiff, wet soils, and on heavy clays or marshy
lands where the soil is good, it is one of the best pasture Grasses. In
such situations it will last five to seven years, but on dry upland soils
it is short-lived. (24 lbs. per bushel.) Finest seed, our direct importa-
tion. Per lb., 30 cts.; 100 lbs., $25.00.

Red or Creeping Fescue. (Festuca rubra.) A splendid grass for light sandy
soils. Extreme drought resister. Valuable in seeding banks and ex-
posed locations, binding drifting sands, and as lawn grass for shady spots.
Forms a very close, durable turf, suitable for putting greens. (24 lbs. per
bushel.) Per lb., 75 cts.; 100 lbs., $70.00.

Should be cut for hay at the time of first flower-
(14 lbs. per bushel.) Per lb.,

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 underground
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 acreif alone. (101bs. per bushel.)
Per lb., 35 ets.; 10 lbs., $3.25; 100 lbs., $30.00.

Red Top. Clean Seed. Chaff and weeds sifted out; pure fancy seed.
We recommend this to all who desire the best results, as its absolute
purity and excellence insure satisfaction for farm, park or lawn. Excel-
lent for restoring worn-out swards. (36 lbs. per bushel.) Per lb.,
50 cts.; 100 lbs., $45.00.

Sweet Vernal, True Perennial. Many seedsmen substitute the annual
variety for this invaluable Grass, as the seed for both is similar. Inval-
uable in lawns on account of its very early growth and fragrant odor,
which it imparts to the other grasses in drying. Remains green very,
late. Hardy and permanent. (7 lbs. per bushel.) Per lb., $1.50.

Tall Oat Grass. (Avena elatior.) A perennial which grows in loose tufts
and throws up an abundance of leaves and tall stalks. Succeeds best
on rich upland soils, and when once established is a great drought resister.
Early. Makes its heaviest growth the second year. (14 lbs. per bushel.)
Per lb., 40 cts.; 100 lbs., $35.00.

Timothy or Herds Grass. (Phlewm pratense.) This Grass is usually con-
sidered and treated as a short-lived perennial, and hence is the best grass
to grow in a short rotation. It succeeds best on moist loams and clays
naturally rich in humus or on those which have been heavily manured.
It grows in loose tufts, with few short leaves, so that Red Top or Red
Clover should be sown with it to furnish heavy bottom growth of leaves.
Sow one bushel per acre if alone. (45 lbs. per bushel.) Per lb., 18 cts.;
per 100 lbs. $14.00.

Wood Meadow. (Poa nemoralis.)
Well adapted for growing under trees and in shaded situations. Dwarf
and fine-growing. Sow two and a half bushels per acre. (14 lbs. per

Mammoth or Large Red Northern. (Trifolium pratense.) On rich, loamy
soil this variety grows nearly twice as large as the Medium Red Clover
and earlier to start a Spring growth. Per lb., 60 cts.; 100 lbs., $55.00.

Alsike or Swedish. (Trifolium hybridum.) This Clover will thrive where
the soil is quite wet, and will even stand flooding without being killed.

Sand Vetch, or Hairy Vetch. (Vicia villosa.) Should be sown at the rate
of from four to six pecks per acre, broadcast or in drills, from August 15
to October 1, and withit as a supporting crop to raise the vines up off the
ground there should be planted from two to four 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. Peck, $3.75; bush.,
(60 Ibs.) $14.00.

Farquhar’s “‘Special’’ Mixtures for Permanent Hay.

No. 1. FOR GOOD SOILS, COOL and MOIST.

Sow 50 lbs. per acre, $18.00.

White Clover. (Trifolium repens.) This Clover should always be sown
on permanent or temporary pastures. Will grow on any soil, but es-
pecially adapted to low meadows, where the surface soil is mellow and
rich. Often used in lawn-grass mixtures, and for patching bare spots in
the lawn. Per lb., 75 cts.; 10 lbs., $7.00.

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 sub-soil. The roots shoot downward until
they are ten or fifteen feet below the surface, and will therefore resist
the driest weather. Per lb., 45 cts.; 100 lbs., $38.00.

SEEDS:

The time for sowing is from the middle of August
to the last of September. Prepare the ground as for Wheat and sow broad-
cast, or with a drill at the rate of one and one-half 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 lbs. per bushel.)
Per bush., $3.00; 10 bush., $27.00.
