Pf MAN i aeiaabe Saaier BULB CULTURE eRiBint= GROWN IN ARTISTIC BOWLS AND VASES WITHOUT DRAINAGE. White Roman Hyacinth Grown in Prepared Fibre. - Crocuses Grown in Prepared Fibre. DELIGHTFUL and interesting method of cultivating bulbs is to grow them in our specially prepared fibre in ornamental vases, bowls or jardinieres without drainage. The advantage of this system is that the vases can be | placed anywhere about the house without fear of damage from moisture, as drainage with this culture is unnecessary. Any receptacle can be used provided it is non-porous and large enough to allow space for good root-growth. Our specially prepared fibre is composed of disintegrated Holland Peat fertilized and mixed with pulverized charcoal and crushed oyster shells. This combination furnishes all the plant-food elements required by bulbs, and only needs to be moistened with water before use. Almost any of the spring-flowering bulbs may be grown in our prepared fibre, but we consider the following varieties best suited for this purpose: Roman and Dutch Hyacinths, Narcissi, Jonquils, Early Tulips, Crocuses, Scillas, Freesias, Snowdrops, also Lily of the Valley Pips, Spireas, etc. It is better not to mix different varieties of bulbs in one bowl unless simultaneous flowering can be assured. CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. When growing bulbs in vases without drainage it is first necessary to water the fibre, then rub it through the hands until it is free from lumps. If the mixing is properly done the fibre will increase in bulk, and if taken in the hand and squeezed, little or no water should drop out. When potting, put a few pieces of charcoal in the bottom of the vase to absorb the impurities and keep the mixture sweet, then put in one to three inches of the compost according to the depth of the bowl. After placing the bulbs in position so that their tips reach to within half an inch of the rim, the spaces between and around the bulbs should be filled with the moistened | fibre. It is not necessary or desirable to press it tightly, as the roots do not grow freely if it is pressed too firmly. Small bulbs such as Scillas, Crocuses, Snowdrops, Jonquils, etc., should be planted fairly close together in order to produce the best effect. After planting, the bowls should be kept in a cool, airy cellar or room (not a | confined closet) for about eight weeks so that they may develop good root-growth which is very essential in order to get good results. The bowls should be examined once a week and a little water given when necessary, as the fibre must not be allowed to get dry or the flower buds become “‘blind.’’? The surface should always look moist, but if too much water has been given, the bowl may be held carefully on its side so that the surplus water can drain away. As the growth increases more water will be required and as much light as possible to insure sturdy foliage. A succession of bloom may be had during the winter by taking into the house a few dishes at intervals of about two weeks. Farquhar’s Prepared Bulb Fibre, 50c. per peck, $1.50 per bushel.

The 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, Snowdrops, Crocuses, Scillas, Chionodoxas, 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 especially suitable for natural plantations and when once planted hold their own and increase with little or no further care. Varities preceded by a * are particularly adapted tu the Rock Garden. A full description of the following varieties will be found in the body of the catalogue. Ioo | 1000 100 1000 *Allium Aureum.

Farquhar & Co. for Superior Quality of Flowering Bulbs. 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 drainage, 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 s haute be pressed moderately firm. The filled pots may be placed in a cold frame iets 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 for 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 Glasses. The single varieties are, with a few exceptions, best adapted to this mode of culture; they produce finer flower spikes than the double. Fill the glass with clear, soft water, so as nearly to touch the base of the bulb, putting a small piece of charcoal in each glass to keep the water pure, and afford some nourishment. The filled glasses should be placed in a dry, cool, dark place, and kept there until the roots almost touch the bottom of the glass, when they may be exposed gradually to the light. Tf the water in the glasses becomes foul, or diminished, replace it with fresh water at about the same temperature as the atmosphere in which the bulbs are growing; otherwise it need not be changed. When well started, the bulbs should have plenty of light and air, without draughts, in order that the best development and brilliancy of color may be attained. 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. Eyeces 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 freez- ing 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 rez iching 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 surface of the ground and six inches apart. AUTUMN CATALOGUE. 1913 FARQUHAR’S SELECTED NAMED BEDDING AND FORCING HYACINTHS.

Not only do they pro- long 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 plantations, 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. Belle Lisette. Pure white egg-shaped flowers] Doz. 100 | 1,000 Elegans Alba.

If wanted by mail add 5 cents per dozen or 35 cents per 100. HE colors range from the palest lilac to purplish black, including shades of rose, scarlet, crimson, violet, brown, white, etc. The Darwin Tulips are the strongest race of all, their massive leaves being often eight inches broad and their splendid flowers 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 effective. They are especially beautiful when cut for vases. The figure follow- ing the name indicates the relative time of flowering. Andre Doria. 1. Dark mahogany-brown with black base.

T is a well-established fact that soils 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 for hay and pasturage, than when only one or two kinds of grasses or clovers are sown. The results given by our mixtures have been most satisfactory, and have resulted in a very large increase in our trade for same. We unhesitatingly recommend them for use on the largest scale. Fall seeding is preferable, but spring sowing will be successful if done early, when the land is cool and moist. In addition to the Grasses, we advise sowing 10 Ibs. of mixed Clover Seed per acre. Clovers in their young state are tender in our climate, and should therefore be sown in spring, separately, being heavier in weight. MIXTURES FOR PERMANENT PASTURES FOR ONE ACRE.

This annual is a native of Western Asia, and has been cultivated in this country and Europe for about fifty years. Its desirability as a forage crop has become established, and it is being cultivated each year on a more and more extensive scale. It 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 with it as a support- ing 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, $2.50; bushel (60 lbs.) $10.00. Rye, Fall or Winter. The time for sowing is from the middle of August to the last of September. Prepare the ground as for Wheat and sow broadcast, 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 Ibs. per bush.) Per bushel, $1.75; 10 bushels, $16.50.
