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 te 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. SEEDS, .10 pkt.; .35 oz.; $3.50 per lb. LARGE GLOBE OR Paris.

(Sargel.) This is one of our most delicious vegetables, and when proper care is taken in making the beds and setting the plants, they will continue productive for many years. CULTURE. 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 UA AAV VSS \ INI | should be made at a time, and the planting and VA ING) VAN/NOn \ ¥) WN a WC \\ covering completed before another is commenced, A \SK Gi In November the plants should have their annual I \} top dressing of manure after the stalks have been TV \" } \fs cleared away. ‘The dressing should be forked inas soon as the ground can be worked in spring, and the bed neatly raked.

CuLturE. 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 about two 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 anda 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 ounceof seed produces about thirty five hundred plants. Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage. EARLY SPRING.

The Cauliflower is the most delicious of all Arasstcas, 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. f < FARQUHAR’S EARLIEST DWARF ERFURT CAULIFLOWER. BEST FOR EARLY, BEST FOR LATE, BEST FOR FORCING, AND THE SUREST HEADER OF ALL.

NEW, WEEE CORN)“ Pitiiran © sieeve ox TEN DAYS EARLIER THAN ANY OTHER VARIETY. What product of the garden is so eagerly awaited as the first Sweet Corn of the season? — not the tasteless, discouraged, premature corn, shipped from long distances, worthless when picked and unfit for food when it arrives, but the real, tender, juicy Sweet Corn ready for use before the summer has really commenced. Such a Sweet Corn is Peep o’ Day. Other characteristics of the Peep o’ Day in ad- dition to its extreme earliness are its tenderness and sweetness, surpassing in these particulars any other early Sweet Corn. DESCRIPTION AND CULTIVATION. The earsof Peep 0’ Day corn average about 6 inches in length and are perfect in form. In habit of growth Peep 0’ Day is very distinct. The stalks. grow from 3 to 4 feet in height, 3 to 5 ears on the stalk. The stalks being so small they may be allowed to stand very closely together. ‘the seed may be planted either in hills or in rows. If the former, plant 6 or 7 kernels in a hill, later thinning out so as to leave 4 plantsto each hill. If in rows and not in hills, drop the seed about 6 inches apart and (if planted early) cover about 1 inch deep. Later plantings should be put in deeper. Eight to 10 quarts will plant an acre. PRICE, Packet, Io cts.; Selected Ears, 10 cts. each; pint, .25 cts.; quart, .g4octs.; 4% peck, $1.25; peck, $2.00; bushel, $7.00. If by mail add 8 cts. per pint, and 15 cts. per quart extra for postage. Peep o? Day Sweet Corn gave me good ears of the best flavored and sweetest very early corn that L have ever been able to get. I shall plant tt again. It is far ahead of the Cory in earliness and sweet- mess. ROBT. W. CURTIS, Stratford, Conn. Peep o? Day Sweet Corn was the earliest corn of the year; ahead of either Cory or White Cob Cory, and sweet. The cob ts white, kernels pearly white, ears averaging six inches in length, exceptionally good for early market or home consumers. REV. F. R. LAWRENCE, (Eden Trial Grounds), Lanesboro, Mass. We think Peep 0 Day Sweet Corn verv fine, and we had it earlier than our neighbors. We callit about 10 days earlier than any other corn. MRS. GRANT CURRIE, Currie, N.Y. Peep o? Day Sweet Corn.

Mushrooms are more easily cultivated than many people imagine, and may be grown in any room or cellar where the temperature can be maintained at from fifty to sixty-five degrees. For the bed, use a mixture of three parts horse droppings 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 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 twelve inches thick. Leave it thus for about a week, or till the temperature has subsided to eighty-five degrees. Then make holes about ten inches apart, and put in each a piece of spawn about the size of an egg, Press the spawn firmly into the compost about two 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 two inches of fresh loam, and over this place a few inches of straw. If the temperature 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 gallons. One pound of Farquhar’s English Mushroom Spawn ts sufficient for six square feet of bed. The following works on the Mushroom will be mailed post-paid on receipt of price. Both are excellent authorities on the subject, and give plain and full directions: MusHROOM CULTURE, By Robinson, 50 cents. How Tro Grow MusHrooms. By Wm. Falconer, $1.00.

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 impossible 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 though the weather be cold and unpleasant. Sow in drills one foot apart and cover about one-third of an inch, treading or roiling 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 one hundred feet of drill; four to five pounds an acre. Our Onton Seed is grown from bulbs carefully selected by hand, and is of most superior quality.

A good, sandy loam pro- duces the best potatoes, but they can be grown on all kinds of soil. New or pas- ture land, with the turf freshly turned, produces the finest crop. Make furrows of good depth, three feet apart. Scatter a liberal dressing of phosphate or de- cayed stable manure along the drill, and set the seed about ten inches apart in the rows. Cover with about two inches of soil, and begin to cultivate when the plants are wellup. At each successive hoeing, bring additional soil about the plants.

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 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 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 lbs.

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 rocts reach deep into the soil and bring up the necessary potash, thus making a complete and natural fertilizer, For fertilizing purposes, Cow Peas are superior to Clover from the fact that the foliage is greater, besides making full growth in from three to four months. Sow as early as May Io or as late as July, one (1) bushel to the acre in drills, two and one-half bushels to the acre broadcast. $3.50 per bushel. OaTs, WELCOME.

These two varieties are the best for general cultivation. One of the 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 two bushels to the acre; if with Oats, one bushel of each. White, per peck, .60; per bushel $2.00; Green, per peck, .75; per bushel, $2.50. Rape, DwarFr Essex. A forage plant of great merit, easily grown in any part of the United States. Is of great value for sheep and lambs. One acre of Rape is sufficient to pasture ten to fifteen lambs on for two to two and one- half months, It is often sown broadcast, about five lbs. to the acre, but will yield much better if drilled about two Ibs. to the acre, in rows twenty-two inches apart, and cultivated until plants are too large. Seed may be sown in May, but we do not advise sowing until June or July. Per lb., .10; 100 lbs., $8.00. RYE, SPRING. Sow asa ‘‘catch’’ crop, where winter grain has failed.

Prepare the ground as for Wheat and sow 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. Per bushel, $1.25. SAND VETCH, OR Harry VETCH. Vicia villosa. An annual, a native of western Asia, 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 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 carly green crop for soiling purposes, or in midsummer for late autumn forage. Per lb., .15; 100 Ibs., $12.00. SPRING VETCHES OR TARES, Vicia sativa. A valuable plant grown extensively for stock and sometimes mixed with Oats for soiling.

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 starte plants, when intended for bedding purposes, may be transferred to the beds in the open ground early in June, by — ich 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 2s evrly 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.

They succeed in ordinary garden soil, and well repay any care in cultivation bestowed upon them. The ground should be liberally enriched and dug over to a depth of fifteen to eighteen inches.

This charming hardy Larkspur should be better known. The flowers run in shades of blue, many of remarkable brilliance, also pure white, and they are not excelled in beauty by any hardy flower. Those who like the blue Bachelor’s Button for cutting will prize still more this very graceful and beautiful larkspur. A bed of tall lark- spur (see Delphinium, Farquhar’s Hybrids, page 114), with DY. Chinensis interspersed or used for a border, is most effective. Per doz., $1.50; per 100, $10.00. The 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 interesting than the usual greenhouse assortment, and equally valu- able 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. Where early flowers are desired we advocate the intro- duction of groups of Narcissi, Scillas, which bloom in April and May and should be planted in October, 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. FARQUHAR’S COLLECTION OF HARDY FLOWERS. For purchasers who may not be familiar with the differ- ent sorts we offer the following collection for succession of bloom from early spring until November: 12 distinct species or varieties, our selection . . $1.50 25 ce ee Ce ee we a4 i u 2°75 50 ee ee ee ce ce ce S : 5-00 I0O ee cé ce ce ce 4 = z 9.00 Achillea Ptarmica Fl.

Bradley’s Potato Manure is in no sense a theoretical or experimental mixture. It is prepared from formulas which repeated /ie/d-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.

The diamond shaped adjustable hole regulates the dis- charge, and can be made larger or smaller, as occasion | requires. No other drill has this advantage. The seed cut-off claps up vnderneath the hole; it does not slide under the same as in other simiiar 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. Price, $7.50. WayLanp, Mass., May 11. Mr. L. S.° Hannas writes: “The ‘New Model’ Seed Drill that I bought of you has proved to be one of the best machines that I have ever used. If I could not get one like it I would not take $20 for it, and any one in need of a Seed Drill will never make any mistake when they order one of the ‘ New Models.’” ‘© PLANET, Jr.,” No. 1.

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, 50c.

It has 11-inch wheels, which can be set at four different distances apart; the frame is malle- able, 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 undis- turbed 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 with- out removing the nuts. All the blades are of tempered and polished steel.
