ARTICHOKE.

LARGE 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.

Artichoke, Large Green Globe.

ASPARAGUS. (Spargel.)

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
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

the soil. Cover the seed about two
inches. For succession plant every two
weeks from the first of May till August.

GoLDEN CARMINE. Inthis new strain we have a
wonderfully robust grower, a week to ten days
earlier than Worcester Horticultural Pole. In
comparison, the pods are equally as large, string-
less, bright golden color when very young.
As the pods approach full size, they are mottled
and streaked with an unusually bright carmine
color on the bright golden, which gives the pods
(when ready for market) a strikingly beautiful
and attractive appearance. This, together with
its productiveness, will make it the most desir-
able strain of this well-known and popular
bean. Pint, .30; quart, .50; peck, $2.75.

WorcESTER POLE. Very early and remarkably
productive. The long, beautifully-colored pods,
striped and_ splashed _ brilliant
crimson, hang in rich clusters.

CABBAGE. (Koffkohi.)

CuLturs. 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 trosts 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 he sown
in April or early in May in shallow dril!s 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 deepl

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. spritfkled on thé plants will keep off the cabbage worms. One ounce of seed produces about thirty five hundred plants.

CAULIFLOWER. (Llumen Kohi.)

The Cauliflower is the most delicious of all Brassicas, 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,

thing that will produce large, smooth, and perfect fruit. The

CUCUMBER. (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 uponthem, For main crop, plant in hills four feet apart, im
the end of May. Keep the young plants safe from the striped bug by dusting with dry plaster or powdered helle-
bore. Leave four strong plants to each hill. One ounce to fifty hills; two to three pounds to one acre.

(Lattich Salat.)

The Lettuce is the best
vegetable of the salad kind
grown in the open air. It
thrives best in a light, very
rich, moist soil, with a dry
substratum, but does well in a
common garden soil enriched
with rotted manure. For first
crop sow in gentle heat in
February, and transplant to
ten inches apart. For a sum-
mer supply, sow thinly in
shallow drills, eighteen inches
apart, and transplant, or thin
out, leaving a foot between the
plants. Sowings may be made
from April to the end of

August. One ounce of seed
gives about four thousand
plants.

the seeds half an inch deep —six or eight in each hill. When the plants are well up, thin out, leaving three toa hill. One ounce
of seed for sixty hills ; two to three pounds for an acre.

MUSHROOM. (Agaricus Campestris.)

CULTURE.

Mushrooms are more easily cultivated than many people imagine, and may be grown in any room or cellar where the temper-
ature 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 spread-
ing athin layer of the prepared mixture, pounding it firm, and continue thus till the bed is twelve inches thick. Leaveit thus for
about a week, or till the temperature has subsided to eighty-five degrees. ‘Chen make holes about ten inches apart, and put in each
a piece of spawn about the size of anegg. 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 coverthe 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.

The Onion has been cul-
tivated 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 ma-
nure freely, and get the crop
in as early as possible in
spring, even though the
weather be cold and unpleas-
‘ant. 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 totwo inches apart.
Stir the ground freely with-
out 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.

POTATOES.

PRICES SUBJECT TO VARIATIONS OF THE MARKET.

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. A change
of seed is the best antidote
for disease. Four darrels
are sufficient to plant one acre
in arills.

New Queen.

THE Boves. An excellent, very early sort, much resembling the Queen in shape and color. It matures just after
the Ohioand Fortune. <A good cropper, and growing good-sized tubers under high cultivation. The experimental

seedling from the Early Rose, which it closely resembles in shape and color, but is still earlier and very much
more prolific. It has strong, vigorous habits of growth, and is of fine eating quality, cooking dry and mealy,
whether baked or boiled. We especially recommend it to large growers for the early market trade. Prices, bbl.,
$4.00; bush., $2.00; peck, .60.

NEW QUEEN. A grand potato, resembling: Beauty of Hebron in appearance, color, size, and shape, but much
earlier and a heavy yielder, with very few small potatoes. In quality it is excellent, the flesh being pure
white and of the dry, mealy texture so much desired in a table potato. This potato will do well in all localities.

variety originated in Ver-
mont, and has become
very popular in many

ond early, and a large

flake. We have raised

SQUASE: (Speise Kurbiss.)

Being somewhat tender, Squashes should not be planted till 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 five to six feet apart, for running sorts ten feet
apart. Put eight or ten seeds in each hill, and when well grown thin, leaving two or three of the strongest plants
ineach hill. Small seeded sorts, one ounce-to fifty hills ; large seeded sorts, one ounce to fifteen hills.

as was the original Hubbard. In size it also closely follows the original Hubbard, which
weighed 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 compares with it in its
remarkable combination of fineness and compactness of grain, dryness, sweetness, and
exceeding richness ef flavor. It is a fall and winter squash, being excellent at all seasons,
but like the old Hubbard, though at any time excellent, does not acquire its best quality

perennials are opposite side from apple trees, and your grass seed made a beautiful path even this first year.”’

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,
broadcast, 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. fanicum 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. (48 lbs. per
bushel.) Per bushel, $1.75.

MILLET, COMMON. fanicum Miliaceum. Excellent for for-
age. Requires a dry, light, rich soil. Height, 21% to 4 ft.

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, protuce 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. Mixed Clover Seed sufficient for one acre, $2.00.

— JAPANESE. Excels all other varieties in yield and earliness.
On account of its earliness it can be grown farther north than
any other. ‘The grains are nearly double the size of those of
any other variety. Enormously productive, Per bushel, $1.50.

— SILVER Hutt. About one week later in maturing than the
Japanese. Grain is of a light gray color, thin husk; good
yielder. Bushel, $1.50.

Cow Peas. for fodder or sotling. 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 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. 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. Succeeds well in a wide range of climate, and under a great variety of
soils and methods of culture. Per bushel, $1.25; 2 bushels, $2.35; 5 bushels, $5.75; 10 bushels, $10.00.

OaTS, CLYDESDALE. J/mported. A handsome English white Oat. Very early and an enormous cropper. Per
bushel, $2.00.

PEAS FOR FIELD CULTURE,ONLY. WHITE CANADA AND GREEN FIELD. 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, .50; per bushel, $1.75. Green, per peck, .60; per
bushel, $2.00.

Rare, DwarF Essex. A forage plant of great merit, easily grown in any part of the United States. Is of great
value for sheep and lambs. Oneacre 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. The straw is shorter and stiffer than the
winter variety, and is always easily secured, while the grain is of equal value. Per bushel, $1.50.

RYE, FALL OR WINTER. Sow in August and September. 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 Hairy 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 early green
crop for soiling purposes, or in midsummer for late autumn forage. Per lb., .15; 100 lbs., $10.00,

SPRING VETCHES OR TaARES, Vicia sativa. A valuable plant grown extensively for stock and sometimes mixed
with Oats for soiling. Culture the same as field Peas, Per bushel, $3.50.

SUNFLOWER, MAMMOTH RussIAN. This is highly prized by poultry raisers and farmers as a cneap 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. Per lb., .10; per 100 lbs., $6.00.

WILD RICE. Zizania aquatica. The only one of our native plants furnishing food for wild fowl, ducks, geese,
etc., which has been made an article of commerce. This seed can be sown on the borders of Jakes, ponds, and
along small streams to great advantage, attracting all of these wild birds from September on. It purifies the water
and affords refuge to the small fry from the large fish. It makes a good hay, and in the South two crops can be
cut, and all cattle are fond of it. Sow in water having a mud bottom. Per lb., .30.

No. 5660. NICOTIANA SANDER. In this new
plant we welcome one of the finest hardy annuals
ever introduced to American gardens. It is of
dwarfer growth and more bushy habit than the
favorite Nicotiana affinis; its height being about
2 feet. The flowers are brilliant carmine-red, a
color unknown to any plant of similar character
and hardly seen in our gardens after the finer
red Roses have bloomed in June. This plant
is as easy of cultivation as the common tobacco,
to which family it belongs. Like Nicotiana
affinis it is sweet scented, but to a less degree;
the general form of the flower is similar to that
variety, with the tube shorter and stouter, and
the flowers are much more numerous, arranged
in long graceful sprays. Nicotiana Sander .
will have a wide range of usefulness; it is a
charming plant for any line of garden decoration,
for flower beds, for shrubbery, for ribbon work,
or for the wild garden; the whole plant being
laden with flowers from base to summit —liter-
ally ablaze with most handsome - carmine-red
blossoms. Pkt., .25; 5 pkts., $1.00.

ASTERS:

Our Asters are grown

for us by specialists, from

the finest strains in the

world, and are unri-
valled.

The Queen of the

Market varieties are

valuable for early cut

flowers, coming in July;

the Comet and Ostrich

Feather sorts are charm-

ing for their delicately

curled petals; American

branching kinds have shaggy

owers on long stems resembling

Japanese Chrysanthemums; while

‘Vruffaut’s Pzeony-Flowered and Im-

proved Victoria are undoubtedly the

best types of old-fashioned French and

German Asters.

AMERICAN BRANCHING. Semple’s, or
Vick’s Branching. A free-growing Aster
of robust, erect habit; producing large,
feathery blossoms, resembling Japanese
Chrysanthemums; one of the finest for

MARGUERITE CARNATIONS. The earli-
est of all Carnations, blooming in July or
August if sown in spring, and continuing
until frost. Being half-hardy perennials, a
slight protection of coarse straw or pine

they will flower profusely the next summer,
or they may be potted to bloom during
winter in the house. The flowers are large,
about 80 per cent. usually coming double.

proved strain, producing a high percentage
of double flowers, usually about 3 inches

months after sowing; the flowers are long-
stemmed, of large size and thick of petal.
For cutting this strain is most valuable, par-
ticularly for summer use. Mixedcolors .

men were the finest and were awarded the Medal and
Diploma. In commenting on the exhibition, the ‘‘ Garden

the small flowered type (of other exhibitors) and the
large flowers in the exhibition of R. & J. Farquhar & Co,’’

carrying forty to sixty large flowers. Everv one says
they are the finest Cyclamen they have ever seen.

PANSY |

( Vzola Tricolor.)

For many years choice Pansy Seeds have been a
specialty with us. By repeated personal visits we have
Yy Zz made ourselves familiar with the strains of the leading
ed WY i ZA specialists in the several countries of Europe, with whom
we contract yearly for seeds. We are thus enabled to
offer the finest in existence.

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.

Columbian Exposition. Since that time our strains have been steadily improved and are acknowledged to be the

finest sold in the United States.

flarvard University Botanic Garden, Cambridge, Mass.
Messrs. 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 Karquhar’s Giant
White are especially g0od.. Farguhar’s Improved Blue ts the best blue Primrose in cultivation. Your Primula
Stellata is very fine, espectally the white variety, for which I received last year a First Class Certificate of Merit
from the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.

Yours respectfully,
ROBERT CAMERON, Superintendent.

Gentlemen. Allow me to state that the flower seeds we

tsfaction too. ;

The family never saw such Sweet Peas, seven feet high,
four and five blooms to a stem, and stems over 12 inches.

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. We
have consequently discarded the inferior sorts and syn-
onyms, retaining the finest in each class. These we have
classified as nearly as possible, according to their colors,
to facilitate and simplify selection.

FARQUHAR’S SUPERB LARGE-FLOWERING TUBEROUS—
ROOTED BEGONIAS.

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. :

The tubers we offer have been specially grown for
us by celebrated European cultivators, and we feel as-
y sured that they are not surpassed by any strain in com-
= merce. Mailed free at dozen rates.

CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. —The tubers may be started in February or March, either singly in small pots or se:
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 4s 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.

Allen Winden Farm, Lenox, Mass.
Dear Sirs: It gives me pleasure to tell you that the Tuberous Begonia Sulbs we bought of you have given us
every satisfaction. I can particularly recommend your strain for fine bold flowers of good form and color, white

the vigor of the bulbs cannot be surpassed, Very truly yours, A. ff. WINGETT, Sufi.

“ 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 quarter inches in
diameter.”’ CHARLES SIMPKINS, Oak All, Peabody, Mass.

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 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.

GLADIOLI.

These may be planted in the open
garden from April until June. 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. The bulbs should be set four
inches deep and six inches apart.
Clumps of Gladioli planted through
shrubbery borders are most effective,
also among beds of roses, where
they will bloom when the roses have
passed.

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 our 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 Spectosum 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.

I Messrs. R. & F. Farquhar & Co. ;

Dear Sirs: The Lilium Candidum we

On our forced plants many of the spikes
carry from 12 to 15 flowers and buds each,

has a trace of disease which for years has
_ been so rife, and which hus discouraged so
many frem continuing the culiure of this
superb lily.

Hardy H. P. Rose.
Merveille de Lyon.

Spring is the best season in which to plant Roses. The soil should be deep and deeply dug, and it should be
enriched with a liberal dressing of old rotten manure and some ground bone. ‘The plants should be set so that the
roots will be nine to twelve inches below the surface; when there are fibrous roots these should be separated and
laid out horizontally, never bent or doubled over.

HARDY CLIMBING ROSES.

THe Farquuar. The finest hardy climbing Rose bloom-
ing a few days later than the Crimson Rambler and
continuing long beyond that variety. The flowers are
bright pink in color; quite double, and produced in
dense trusses. They are very serviceable for cut flower
use, much more so than those of any other Rambler,
and have been most effectively used for table decora-
tions and corsage sprays. The foliage forms a dense
mass of glossy, rich, green color, giving an effect like
English Ivy. It is of remarkably vigorous growth,
plants grown by us having made canes over twenty feet
in length in one season. Awarded a Silver-gilt Medal
by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society when first
exhibited in 1902, and a First Class Certificate (the
highest award) by the Royal Dutch Horticultural
Society at Amsterdam, Holland, in 1904.

Mr. W.R. Smit, Curator United States Botanic Garden,
Washington, D.C., writes:

“7 saw your new Rose, ‘ The Farquhar,’ when it first
bloomed, with its raiser, Mr. Fackson Dawson, of the Arnold
Arboretum, and was so pleased withit that [at once pronounced
it a rose for the people.”

Lapy Gay. A seedling from the popular Crimson
Rambler, which it resembles in habit of growth and
general effect. The flowers are of a delicate cherry
pink color, which fades to a soft white. The foliage
is very profuse and of a glossy deepgreen shade. The
effect of a plant in full bloom, with the combination
of the soft white flowers, the cherry buds, and the deep
green foliage, is indeed most charming. The plant is
a Vigorous grower and perfectly hardy. Field-grown
plants, each, $1,00; extra strong plants, each, $1.50.

DEBUTANTE. A beautiful new rambler, bearing clusters
of soft pink double flowers having a sweet briar fra-

EVERGREEN HEDGES.

Owing to the great destruction of California Privet
hedges during recent severe winters, there has been
a demand for hardier Hedge Plants. To meet this
we have grown a large supply of Norway Spruce
and American Arbor Vitz. Hedges of these hardy
evergreens are not only of more cheerful appear-
ance during winter, but afford greater protection
as wind-breaks to gardens and grounds they |

enclose. For sizes and prices see page 135.

Delphinium Chinensis.

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 126),
with D. Chinensis interspersed or used for a border, is
most effective. Per doz., $1.50; per 100, $10.00.

FLOWERS.

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
sorder, 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 greaterspermanency,
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 Giadioli 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.

" CALCEOLARIA BURBIDGETIL,

This remarkable new species grows toa height of six feet, forming a dense, erect bush. The foliage is of
rich green surmounted by erect trusses of clear canary yellow flowers. As a bedding plant it was conspicuous in
the London parks last summer, frequently forming a centre surrounded by French Cannas. In the United
States it will doubtless thrive best in partial shade or where the soil is rather moist.

It is also grown extensively as a winter decorative plant in 5 or 6-inch pots, in which the height is diminished
to 3 or 4 feet. Each, .25; doz., $2.00; per 100, $12.00. Delivery in May.

LOBELIA TENUOIR.

A beautiful new species growing to 12 or 15 inches in height, and with stems and foliage of the same delicate
appearance as the dwarf bedding varieties. The flowers are of bright cobalt blue about an inch in diameter, borne
on erect branching sprays. It is valuable as a bedding plant and for cut flowers. Doz., $1.50; per 100, $10.00.
Delivery in May.

VERBENA ELLEN WILMOTT.

During last winter this new large-flowered white Verbena was grown extensively in Hamburg, Germany, for
cut-flower use. Verbenas thrive so well in our climate that this novelty is likely to prove of great value both for
bedding purposes and cutting. It has not produced seeds, and its propagation is by cuttings only. Doz., $1.50;
per 100, $10.00. Delivery in May.

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
tawns, grass lands, and seeding down; also for fruit of all
kinds, especially strawberries, peaches, and apples. They
are exceedingly 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-Ilb.

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 in any 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.

ous powder, and can be applied dry just as it came
from the package, or it can be mixed with water and
sprayed on vines with any of the sprayers on the
market, 122 lbs. to 80 gallons water mixed thor-
oughly. It is death to the potato, squash, and cucum-
ber bugs, currant and tomatc 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. Use freely on all house plants.

Messrs. R. & J. FARQUHAR & Co.,
6 South Market St., Boston:

GENTLEMEN: Last June you furnished me with a
2c-inch Ball Bearing Lawn Mower. I was so well
| pleased with it that I ordered another onein 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 ts its being so light to handle and
run. It does excellent work, ardis easier to run than
| the old-fashioned 15-inch, and I take pleasure in recom- |f~
| mending-itin the-highest terms. Very truly yours,

GENUINE PHILADELPHIA LAWN MOWERS.
E HIGH WHEEL.

Four blades, ro-inch wheel, 61¢-
inch cylinder,.train of 3 gears
double wheel. One of the lightest
draft mowers manufactured; made
of iron and steel.

It has one special point of excel-
lence over other mowers of this
style, which consists in removing
the box caps to. the cylinder cutter,
and removing the cutter without
disturbing the frame of the mower;
it therefore has a solid frame, with
little trouble in case of repairing
same,

This is a medium High Wheel Mower
whichis very popular, for the reason that
it has 81g-inch driving wheels and is so
geared that with the additional height in
wheels it does good work and runs some
lighter. It is the same style as some
makers put on the market for a high
wheel mower.

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 the hot weather begins, the grass is apt to be killed or injured, leaving the lawn full of bare spots.

ENTERPRISE LAWN SPRINKLER.

The advantages of our
No. 1 Sprinkler are as
follows:

Each machine is fur-
nished with a cord or
rope, so that the Sprink-
Jer may be easily moved, when running, without going near it. The water
passes through a Strainer before it enters the small perforations, which
are thereby prevented from filling up. The weight of the revolving parts
is supported by the water. This reduces wear toa minimum, All parts
of the machine are made sufficiently strong for ordinary rough usage, and
are interchangeable. The machine is TINNED and NICKEL—PLATED, and
is of very handsome appearance, No, I, $3.50.

GARDEN IMPLEMENTS AND RUSTIC WORK.

THE NEW MODEL SEED DRILL.

THE MOST SATISFACTORY SEED DRILL MADE,

(Fig. 25.)

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 underneath the hole; it does not 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. Price, $7.50.

WAYLAND, Mass., May II.

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 1 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.

COMBINED DRILL SEEDER AND WHEEL HOE, CULTIVA-
TOR AND PLOW.
(Fig. 18.) PRICE, $9.50.

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, etc., can be quickly at-
tached. It is an excellent seed sower, a first class double
or single wheel hoe, an excellent furrower, 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, 50c.

No. 12 DOUBLE WHEEL HOE, CUL-
TIVATOR AND PLOW.
(Fig. 17.) PRICE, $7.00.

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 malle-
able, with ample room for tool adjustment and can be set
three different Keights. 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.

No. 17 SINGLE WHEEL HOE, CUL-
TIVATOR AND PLOW.
(Fig. 19.) PRICE, $5.00.

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 ad-
justable 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.

CAHOON’S SEED SOWER.

For sowing grass seed, wheat, oats, barley, rye, etc.
Sows at a common walking gait four to eight acres per
hour; a saving of labor and one-third of the seed is
effected by this machine. Price, $3.00.

EUREKA KITCHEN GARDEN AND
HOT-BED SEED DRILL. fig. 21.)

It will sow and cover Beets, Cabbage, Carrots, Celery,
Lettuce, Onions, Radishes, Spinach, Turnips, and all such
seeds with the greatest regularity.

The quality of work equals that done with the costly
machines, and infinitely better and fasterthan hand work.

It’s the only machine suited to sow in a hot-bed. Sows
up close to the sides in straight rows. Sows the smallest
packet of seeds as well as a large bulk. Each, .75.

NEW UNIVERSAL HAND
PLOW.

Price, boxed, $2.00.

This little labor-saving implement is one that com-
