BOSTO RELIABLE SEED: BULBS,TREES,HARDY SHRUBS, ROSES, VINE: FLOWERING PERENNIALS, BEDDING a THE FAROUHAR ROSE. | See Llustration on First Cover Fage. AWARDED THE SILVER GILT MEDAL OF THE MASSACHUSETTS HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. CERTIFiI€GATED BY THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF NEW YORK. In this new Rose we have at last a worthy companion to the Crimson Rambler, bearing beautiful clusters of pink double flowers. THE FARQUHAR ROSE is a vigorous and rapid grower. Many of the stock plants, cut down for propagation last July, and then not a year old, have since developed shoots twenty to twenty-two feet in length. THE FARQUHAR ROSE has glossy, bright green foliage, which does not drop, and retains its lustre until cut down by severe frost in November or December, a feature which makes it most valuable for covering trellises, pillars, summer houses, fences, and rocks. It is perfectly hardy and does not require protection during winter. THE FARQUHAR ROsE bears magnificent clusters of bright pink double flowers on long stems, which are most serviceable for vases and table decorations, while the individual flowers are useful for bouquets and designs. As an Easter plant, its color alone gives it a decided advantage over the Crimson Rambler. Mr. Jackson Dawson, of the Arnold Arboretum, who raised THE FARQUHAR ROSE, describes it as follows: ‘¢ It can be best described as flowering perfectly double in clusters, the individual flowers being similar in size and color to the flowers of Carnation Melba. The plant is of rapid growth, stocky, trailing habit, with bright glossy foliage. All who have seen it pronounce it something extra. In commenting upon it Mr. W. R. Smith, of the United States Botanic Garden, Washington, D.C., says that it is a rose for the millions. _ Prof. B. M. Watson, of the Bussey Institution, and many private gardeners, have declared it a great success.” TESTIMONIALS AND PRESS COMMENTS. Mr. W. R. SMITH, CURATOR UNITED STATES BOTANIC GARDEN, WASHINGTON, D.C., writes: “T saw your new Rose, ‘ The Farquhar,’ when it first bloomed with its raiser, Mr. Jackson Dawson, of the Arnold Arboretum, and was so pleased with it that I at once pronounced it @ rose for the people.” DORCHESTER, Mass., May 10, 1902. GENTLEMEN: I have made a specialty of forcing Roses for Boston Market for many years, especially Crimson Kambler, which I have considered the finest novelty of recent years. Your new Rose, “The Farquhar,” is a better thing than the Crimson Rambler. Its foliage and its beautiful rose-pink color are unequalled in any climbing rose. I consider it the finest floral novelty in existence. Yours very truly, LAWRENCE COTTER. MILTON, MAss., May 10, 1902. GENTLEMEN: ‘‘ The Farquhar Rose”? is a fitting companion to the Crimson Rambler. So many worthless roses have been sent out with the name Rambler that this name has fallen into discredit Your Rose is a true hardy climber, bearing large trusses of beautiful deep pink double flowers, with a fragrance different from any otherrose 1 * know. Yours very truly, GEORGE M. ANDERSON. THE FLorists’ EXCHANGE, Vol. XIV., No. 23, says: “This wambler is ta: «4.0. yi, being Gvite.two inches . ~ : . : A 3 ° . i in diameter, very double, and of the !iveliest bright pink imaginable; borne in large clusters and with the nS flowers on longer stems than thuse of Crimson Rambler, so that they could be used in design work. It will on tah a magnificent Easter lant, and its vigor, hardiness, etc., make it a sure winner for outside.” THE AMERICAN FLorisT, Vol. XVIII., No. 728, says: “At the exhibition in Horticultural Hall, on Saturday, May 10, R. & J. Farquhar & Company showed plants in bloom of the new Farquhar Rose, and received therefor a silver gilt medal. This Rose, which was raised by Jackson Dawson, is the result of a cross between Rosa Wichuriana oe Crimson Rambler. It is of similar habit to the latter, but the deep pink flowers are larger and it has a slight ragrance, AMERICAN GARDENING, Vol. XXIII., No. 387, says: ‘The attraction of the show (Massachusetts Horticul- tural Society, Boston, May 10, 1902), however, was the new Farquhar Rose. This is a new pink Rambler, raised by Jackson Dawson of the Arnold Arboretum, from whom the whole stock was purchased by Messrs. Farquhar. The color of the flowers is brilliant rose, the clusters are similar to those of Crimson Rambler, the florets, however, being larger and more double. There is a slight fragrance. The award of a silver gilt medal was thoroughly de- served and, measured by the position it is bound to occupy in the near future, might even have been higher.” STRONG PLANTS from 31-inch pots, each, $1.00; per dozen, $10.00; per 100, $75.00.

Var DICHOKE. )/vance GREEN GLOBE. A most delicious vegetable, which will become more popular when better known. ‘The large Green Globe variety is of better quality and gives more edible part than the common sort. The edible part is the undeveloped flower head, which may be eaten raw or used as a salad. Plants set out in April or May 3 ft. x3 ft. will produce heads in July and continue to do so until the end of Octo- ber. It will only produce a partial crop the first season, but being a perennial, will remain in bear- ing for years in the same bed. As soon as the head is taken off, the stalk should be cut down close to the main stock or root. Succeeds best in a very rich, light, moist soil. Should have protection in winter in our northern climate. PLANTS, .20 each; $2.00 per dozen. SUBESH LO pktas (35 025°. h3.50xper Lb. fa eee GLOBE OR Paris.

The permanent bed should be trenched or ploughed very deeply, and well ma- nured with rich, thoroughly decayed manure. Wide drills should then be made three feet apart, and deep enough to admit of the top of the plants being covered six inches. Plants’ two years old may be purchased in spring, or may be produced from seed sown in drills one inch deep and a foot apart. Set the plants eighteen 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 covering 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 sixty Asparagus. 3 Jeet of drill, Bien Oz telb. kB CONOVER’S COLossAL. A standard sort; early; large, and very prolific . . . . . . .05 .10 .25 $0.75 / COLUMBIAN MAMMOTH WHITE.

For very early use sow in January or February in hot-beds, prick out when the plants are strong enough into other hot-beds, or sow in cold frames in March. Transplant to the open ground when danger from killing frosts has passed, in rows two feet apart and eighteen inches from plant to plant. For succession, sow in the open ground the last of March or early in April. Plants which have been sown in the autumn and wintered over in cold frames are usually set out from the middle of March to the middle of April, in rows abouttwo feet apart and the plants eighteen inches apart. The autumn and winter varieties may be sown in April or early in May in shallow drills three or four inches apart; transplant early in July, making the rows about two and a half feet apart, and setting the plants two feet apart in the rows. Cabbage succeeds best in a fresh, rich soil, well manured and deeply dug or plowed. The late plants are subject to attacks of the cabbage fly, which destroys them as fast as they appear above ground. To preserve the plants, sprinkle them early in the morning while they are wet with dew, with slug-shot or tobacco dust. Dalmatian Insect Powder sprinkled on the plants will keep off the cabbage worms. One ounceofseed produces about thirty five hundred plants.

The Cauliflower is the most delicious of all Avasstcas, and 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 February or March, or later in a cold frame, fine heads can be obtained quite early. For a later supply, sow seed in a prepared bed in May, choosing a cool, moist place. When large enough, transplant, making the rows about two and a half feet apart and eighteen inches between the plants. Transplanting should be done in moist weather. In dry seasons the crop -must be watered. The young plants are frequently attacked by a little black beetle; its ravages may be stopped by frequent applications of plaster in the morning while the dew is on, For the cabbage-worm, apply Dalmatian Insect Powder. One ounce of seed produces about three thousand plants. a= a Copyright, R. & J. F. & Co. == [ge = iy FARQUHAR’S EARLIEST DWARF ERFURT CAULIFLOWER.

Simmons’ MopELt. copYRIcHT 1902 oe BY R. D-FARQUMAR & & cos We offer this fine new Potato for the first time. It is an early white-fleshed, kidney-shaped variety, a good cropper and an excellent cooker, having a dry mealy texture so much desired ina table potato. Our illustrations from photographs show the flat surface of the potatoes, illustrating extremely shallow but strong eyes. Skin a beautiful light pink, remarkably smooth, and very attractive in appearance. The vines grow vigorously, the roots extend very deeply into the soil, thus resisting drought. This variety is especially free from blight and rot. The originator writes, December 1, 1902: ‘‘I planted last spring six bushels of my new potato and harvested 180 bushels. Notwithstanding the very wet season, I found not more than one peck of rotten potatoes in the field with no scab, while other varieties planted in similar land were twenty-five per cent. decayed and scabby.” We have confidence in recommending this new sort for trial, as we feel sure that growers for private consumption will welcome it.

FARQUHAR'S MIXTURE, FOR] SHADY EE AGEs: This is a mixture of extra fine grasses adapted for growing in the shade. We recommend the use of this mixture wherever other grasses have failed to make a close sward. FARQUHAR’S ‘GOED LINKS Zaviir UR: During our last visit to Scotland, we visited several of the courses, to ascertain the variety of Grasses generally used to produce the fine, close sward so common there. We have supplied several Clubs the past year with the Mixture, which we now offer and which is the result of a careful study of the requirements for making beautiful Golf Links. We do not hesitate to say that it has given entire satisfaction. FARQUBAR?S -<¢ PU TRING GREEN | IVixO Rs. The very finest low growing Grasses are contained in this Mixture, and they are also very hardy. This Mixture will produce a beautiful and lasting green turf wherever used. FARQUHAR’S “TERRACE MIXTURE.” This is 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 appearance, and also prevent the Terrace from being washed away during heavy rains. = . PARM: AND? ERLELD SEEDS Prices Subject to Market Fluctuation. GRASSES FOR PERMANENT PASTURES AND MEADOWS. Containing only the most suitable Grasses, the proportionate quantity of each being regulated by soil, situation, and purpose for which desired, The object to be attained is a constant, successive growth of rich pasturage from spring till fall. It 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 forsame. 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 lbs. 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. 10 l6s. Mixed Clover Seed, sufficient for one acre, $2.00.

R. & F. Farquhar & Co.: Gentlemen: For the last ten years I have grown Chinese Primroses from your seed. The seeds always germinate quickly and produce strong, vigorous, compact plants. The flowers are produced abundantly, and a splendid feature about them is that they stand well above the foliage. Your Chiswick Red and Farquhar’s Giant White are especially good. Farquhar’s lmproved Blue is the best blue Primrose in cultivation. Your Primula Stellata is very fine, especially the white variety, for which I received last year a First Class Certificate of Merit Jrom the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.

The rapid increase in the number of closely allied or assumed varieties of Sweet Peas during the past few years has caused much confusion and annoyance.

The Finest Produced in Europe at Minimum Prices. The great value of Tuberous-Rooted Begonias for Lawn Beds and Borders is now being appreciated. They bloom continuously from early summer until frost, pro- ducing a profusion of large and gorgeous flowers. Throughout Europe they are used very extensively, par- ticularly in the beautiful parks of Paris. They are of easiest cultivation, rarely attacked by in- sects or blight, and succeed in any good soil which is kept moderately moist.

CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. — The tubers may be started in February or March, either singly in small pots or set two inches apart in 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 is 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 un started 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 beds must be kept moist. A wind-swept situation should be avoided. “ The Begonias you sent me last spring are the finest IT have ever grown, remarkable for their free flowering and for the size of their blooms. Many of the Flowers have measured six and a quarter inches in diameter.’’ CHARLES SIMPKINS, Oak Hill, Peabody, Mass. CALLA. “(ftzchardia;) The temperature for Callas should be rather warm; the soil open and rich, and they should be liberally watered. Callas will bloom continually summer and winter if kept in growing condition, or they may be allowed to dry off and remain dormant a portion of the year. ucpaaeeer ach. en OZ. AETHIOPICA.

When grown in pots they may be used in the conservatory or the house with equal satisfaction. For table decoration, for jardinieres, and for enlivening groups of palms or ferns, they are most ser- viceable. They are quite as desirable 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 wind. 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. ANNIBAL.

FARQUHAR & CO.’S SEED CATALOGUE. HARDY LILIES. The increased production of many varieties of these in Japan has greatly re- duced their cost, and in consequence their use has now become very general. It is oyr opinion that we should plant the bulbs much deeper than we have done heretofore. While travelling 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. Langwater Gardens, North Easton, Mass., May 26, 1902. Messrs. R. & F. Farquhar & Co.: Dear Sirs: The Lilium Candidum we had from you last August have been superb. On our forced plants many of the spikes carry from 12 to 15 flowers and buds each, and numerous bulbs produced two flower stalks. Not one of the 500 bulbs supplied has a trace of disease which for years has been so rife, and which hus discouraged so many from continuing the culture of this superb lily.

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; also for fruit of all kinds, especially strawberries, peaches, and apples. They are exce@dingly valuable for lawns, imparting a rich dark shade of green, destroying insects and bad weeds, par- ticularly moss, which is so common on lawns. 100-lb. bag, $1.25; 200 lbs., $2.00; ton, $15.00.

BRADLEY’S XL PHOSPHATE has been more extensively used than any other brand of fertilizer in the world, and has given universal satisfaction on all crops and under all conditions. f BRADLEY’S POTATO MANURE For Growing Smooth; Sound Potatoes of the Best Quality without Barnyard Manure. It is admitted by successful potato growers that a good commercial fertilizer is indispensable in raising potatoes of the best quality and free from rot or scab. Bradley’s Potato Manure is in no sense a theoretical or experimental mixture. It is prepared from formulas which repeated /fedd-tests have proven to produce the largest crops of smooth, sound, and handsome potatoes. It is finely ground and very dry; it will, therefore, work perfectly in any planter. BRADLEY’S COMPLETE MANURES FOR ALL CROPS.- Specially Adapted to Intensive Farming and Market Gardening. These manures are the richest and most effective fer- tilizers sold, as has been abundantly proved by results in the field. They are manufactured from the very best plant-food materials obtainable. In mechanical condition they are unequalled. They drill perfectly inany machine. They are divided intoclasses, based upon exhaustive field tests, and not upon theoretical experiments of the labora- tory, 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, *“complete”’ fertilizers, and the several grades furnish complete plant-food in the best forms for all crops grown. —— R. & J.

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, ard is easier to run than the old-fashioned 15-inch, and I take pleasure in recom- mending itin the highest terms. Very truly yours, (Signed) HOWARD MARSTON.

It is sure death to the potato, squash, and cucumber bugs, currant and tomato worms, and many other plant-eating pests.
