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 tich, light, moist soil. Should have protection in winter in our northern climate. PLANTs, .20 each; $2.00 per dozen. SEEDS, .10 pkt.; .35 0z.; $3.50 per lb. LARGE GLOBE OR PaRIs.

ASPARAGUS. (Sazgel.) 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 Asparagus. feet of drill. Pkt. Oz. %1lb. Lb, CoNOVER’s CoLossal.

In this 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.

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 eid feaies 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. Forsuccession, 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 ounce of seed produces about thirty-five hundred plants Early Jersey "Wakefield Cabbage. EARLY SPRING.

The Cauliflower is the most delicious of all Brassicas, and succeeds well in any soil where Cabbages will gow 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. FARQUHAR’S EARLIEST DWARF ERFURT CAULIFLOWER.

The great value of this Lettuce is its surprisingly rapid development, its size, weight, tenderness, hardiness, and the fact that it not only forces well in moderate heat, but develops its large crop of mag- nificent heads in the open ground about 10 days sooner than any other sort. The head is of globular shape, hard and well closed; the leaves are light green, with delicate ribs and lightly waved; the interior is of a clear yellow, very tender and of fine flavor.

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 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 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 tothe 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 Fargquhar’s English Mushroom Spawn ts suffictent 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 to Grow MusHrooms. By Wm. Falconer, $1.00.

A light soil, moderately rich, should be selected for the early varieties, and old, decomposed manure or leaf-mold should be scattered along the bottom of the drill and covered lightly with fine earth, so that the seed may not come in direct contact with the fertilizer. The earliest Peas are very hardy, and should be sown as early as possible in spring; later sowings of the fine, sweet, wrinkled varieties should follow. Sow in drills and cover not less than four inches. One guart to one hundred feet of drill ; one and one-half bushels sows one acre in drills. Large packet of all varieties, 10 cents each, post-paid.

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 well up. At each successive hoeing, bring additional soil about the plants. A change of seed is the best antidote for disease. Four barrels are sufficient to plant one acre tn drills. New Queen. THE Bover. An excellent, very early sort, much resembling the Queen in shape and color. It matures just after the Ohio and Fortune. A good cropper, and growing good-sized tubers under high cultivation.

This is one of our standard early varieties and was originated in Aroostook County. It is a 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.

We will book all orders as received until our seed is sold. Northern orders, less than car lots, to be shipped as soon as danger from frost is past, which is usually from March zoth. After March Ist prices will be sub- ject to market changes. Shall be pleased to quote market prices at any time. Our constant aim is, fo make the highest quality the first consideration, and next, to put our prices as low as reliable seed can be sold. ‘ Customers desiring a choice or fancy grade should add 50 cents per bushel, $1.50 per barrel to list prices to pay for close hand picking and waste.

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. Swall seeded sorts, one ounce to fifty hills ; large seeded sorts, one ounce to fifteen hills. Early Summer Crookneck Squash. THE DeEticious. A new variety, surpassing all others. Its color is almost uniformly of a Pkt. Oz. 341b. Lb. green shade, with occasionally a blue specimen, it being just about as pure in this respect 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 of 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 a aaaire its best ee until winter. . a ; .05 .20 .60 $2.00 EarRLyY MAMMOTH Waite BusH.

TIUBERT’S MARVEL. This variety is a selection from Stirling Castle. The fruit is perfectly round, of medium size, and produces in very large clusters. Plants grown at Doyle Nurseries, trained on single leaders, produced 10 pounds of fruit each. The growth is very short jointed and was quite free from disease. Admitted by all local growers who have seen it to be the best Tomato grown. Per packet, 25 cents. WINTER BeEAuTy. An excellent, smooth fruited variety, very early, which comes to us from the Island of Guernsey. Highly recommended for forcing. Per packet, 25 cents. June Pink. The plant is neat and compact, branching freely, with fruit hanging in clusters of six to ten fruits, both in the crown and at the forks of’ the branches. The fruit is of medium size, uniform, smooth, and attractively shaped, without cracks or any green core. ‘The fruit will average 234 to 3 inches in diameter, and from 2 to 214 inches in depth. The skin is reasonably tough, so that it is excellent for shipping pur- poses. In color, it is a bright, pleasing pink, and in markets where a pink tomato is desired will bring 25 per cent. more in price than any red variety, It has the further quality, making it especially desirable for private use, of continuing to bear and ripen fruit up until frost. Per packet of 40 seeds, 20 cents; 3 packets, 50 cents; 7 packets, $1.00. R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO.’S SEED CATALOGUE. 35 TOMATO. (Liebes Apfel.)

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, pro.tuce 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 Io 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. 10 lbs. Mixed Clover Seed sufficient for one acre, $2.00.

By repeated personal visits we have made ourselves familiar with the strains of the leading 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.

Thanking you for past attention. Mr. JOHN PHILLIPS, Brooklyn, Conn., March 10, 1905, writes: The Sweet Peas I raised from seed obtained from you last year were the finest I ever saw and were the envy of the whole town. The vines were loaded with blossoms Srom the time they commenced blooming until late in the - fall. My wife obtained first premium on collection of | Sweet Peas at our fair last fall. 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.

Certificated by the Horticultural Society of New York. In this new rose we have a worthy companion to the Crimson Rambler, bearing beau- tiful clusters of pink double flow- ers. A vigorous and rapid grower, of strong climbing habit. 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. The Farquhar Rose bears mag- nificent 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. Mr. Jackson Dawson, of the Arnold Arboretum, who raised the Farquhar Rose, describes it as follows: ‘‘It can be best de- scribed 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. R. B. Watson, of the Bussey Insti- tution, and many private garden- ers have declared it a_ great success. We have an excellent stock of field grown plants this season, the strongest of which will give im- mediate flowering results, having flowered in our own nursery grounds the past two seasons. We recommend planting dormant stock in April throughout the New England States; but to those who are unable to plant during that month we would recommend our pot-grown stock offered on PRICES FOR DORMANT PLANTS. page 137, which can be trans- Each.

(See page 153 for general list of Aquatics.) 128 R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO.’S SEED CATALOGUE. HARDY PEREN NTA wale Ss OLD-FASHIONED HARDY GARDEN FLOWERS. o unaRs BYaey Tang 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, 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 ee ee e oe ae as 2.75 te) a3 “ce ee “e se oe 5.00 100 “ce “ce a3 “ce “ce “ec 9.00 7 oe ho “oNe Avon er, 5 PSF AD yee f RR Ao ee WA Stats oS DIP Ott oy ES) OF eH LA Ee P¥ 3 ’ o moe: Achillea Ptarmica Fl.

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- sured that they are not surpassed by any strain in com- merce. Mailed free at dozen rates.

CuLTURAL DrRECTIONS. —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 as 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.

The increased production of many va- rieties 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 traveling 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 .Speczosum 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. Our Autumn Catalogue contains a com- plete list of hardy Lilies, most of which can be supplied in spring if desired. We recommend fall planting for all the early flowering sorts. WE DELIVER FREE IN THE U.S. ALL BULBS ORDERED AT SINGLE AND| DOZEN RATES. COFYRICHTI902 BYR&UFARQUHARS. Lilium Krameri. R. & J.

He was here yesterday and saw my Tuberous Begonias, which are just beginning to bloom, and was delighted with them, as every one is. I have raised them for years, but never had such fine bulbs, such exqutstte colors, or such large flowers, as those purchased from you. They are superb. 150 R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO.’S SEED CATALOGUE. THREE SUPERB NEW GLADIOLUS. PRINCEPS. THE NEW AMARYLLIS-FLOWERED GLADIOLUS. This magnificent variety, grown and developed by Dr. Van Fleet, is the largest and most effective of all Gladioli. It grows from 34% to 4 feet high under ordinary garden conditions; its broad, hand- some foliage is a grand setting for the brilliant Amaryllis-like blooms which open more widely than any other variety, a characteristic it receives from G. cruentus, the mother species. The color is rich crimson with intense shadings in the throat, and broad white blotches across the lower petals. The flowers range from 5 to 6 inches in diameter, and can be grown to nearly 8 inches under stimu- lating culture. The petals are very wide and much rounded, forming an almost circular flower. From three to six of these immense and brilliant blooms are expanded at a time on each spike, which often produces 16 to 18 flowers during its development. It endures the sun and wind well, and opens perfectly to the last bud in water. It blooms normally in Au- gust, but may be had late in October by delaying planting It forces splendidly. Each, .35; doz., $3.50; 100, $25.00. Princeps. GLADIOLUS CHILDSI AMERICA. (Reuben FH. Warder.) A new flesh pink variety. The finest one ever offered. Color; a beautiful soft flesh pink, very light and much like ‘« Enchantress ’’ Carnation, except slightly tinged with lavender which gives it the delicate coloring of the most beautiful Leelias. Size: growth is very strong and healthy, producing a beautiful dark green foliage, and a strong, erect spike of the largest flowers. Each ,30; doz., $3.00; 100, $20.00. GLADIOLUS KLONDYKE. This is believed to be the best light yellow Gladiolus yet intro- duced. It was grown from hand-pollenated seed, the parent varieties being Burbanki X Lemoinei and combines in a remarkable manner the good traits of both, Habit of growth is strong, stocky, and vigorous, with healthy broad foliage, and stands firmly erect without staking, even in severest weather, never trailing, or throw- ing a crooked spike. It blooms early and holds out late. The spike is long, erect, and straight with from four to six individual flowers open at once. The flower itself is of medium size 3 to 4 inches in diameter, round, well opened, much more so than is usual, indeed with large round petals, of great substance which stand sun and wind exceedingly well. The color isa clear yellow — not orange, perfectly free from marking or trace of color except a blotch of vivid crimson maroon in the throat, usually on the three - ; lower petals. Each, .25; doz., $2.50; 100, $15.00 Klondyke. R. & J. FAFQUHAR & CO.’S SEED CATALOGUE. 151 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. FARQUHAR’S PRIZE SEEDLINGS MIXED.

Bismarck, Brandywine, or Tennessee Prolific, | ILAVERLAND (P). Tennessee Prolitic, or New York. FIRST EARLY. Excecsior. The Excelsior is decidedly the best early strawberry and the earliest good strawberry. The fruit is of round conical form, glossy, dark red color, and of mildly acid flavor. i HorrMan. Productive on sandy soil, but on stiff land, not too poor, it will bear a very good crop of berries. Our stock of this has been caretully selected for several years, and is strictly pure and first-class every way. 4 FAIRFIELD. Mr. Johnson, the introducer, says he has never seen any berry nearly its equal for earliness, large size, attractive color, quality, and firmness. SECOND EARLY. Criimax,. This is an extremely popular new variety that is being talked of by berry growers. The berry is medium to large and is immensely productive. We hear of a measured plot 3 x 5 yards yielding 78 quarts. Plant vigorous, healthy grower of a peculiar shade of green that can be distinguished from other varieties. Our stock is from plants procured of the originator and are exceptionally fine. Lapy Tuompson. The plant is a vigorous healthy grower, entirely free from rust, and has great drought resisting qualities. The fruit carries well, and then shows up to better advantage than most other varieties, hence its great popularity. Productive, of regular form and large size, though not the largest. Succeeds almost everywhere, but seems to have a preference for sandy soils. SENATOR DuNLap. Mr, Crawford, al the time of its introduction by him, said that he doubted if he had ever sent out a berry better than Senator Dunlap. It will keep in fair condition for several days on the vines after being ripe enough to pick. A good standard berry that will always give satisfaction if not allowed to mat too thick in the row. The fruit is large, rich and dark red, clear to the centre with a very rich flavor. MEDIUM. Busacn. Our stock of this well known and everywhere popular variety is very fine and strictly pure. A large berry, very pro- lific and of a rich, bright red color. BRANDYWINE. A large heart-shaped berry, perfect in form, bright red in color, firm flesh, red to the centre and of rich, spicy flavor. A great cropper especially on heavy soils, holds its fruit well up from the ground and generally succeeds everywhere. — BIsMARCK. Bismarck is a safe pollenizing strawbe1.y, possessing all the desirable qualities of Bubach. To those familiar with the Bubach nothing further need be said, since Rubach has been a favorite berry for years. Bismarck makes a much finer growth than Bubach, and, from the fact that it beds up better, it will generally produce a larger yield per acre. Color a dull scarlet, ripens all over at once, having no green tips. The seeds are prominent, and the berries quite firn). New York. One of the best sorts for private gardens. The berries are large, of long conical form; dark red color, firm texture, and of remarkably sweet flavor. PRIDE OF CUMBERLAND, The plant is a vigorous grower and free from rust. The bloom is perfect, ripens about one week earlier than Gandy; it is nearly as large, equally as firm, as good a color, will thrive in either high or low land, and generally more pro- ductive. It thrives on any soil, but owing to the immense crops it sets, would obtain better results by being well fertilized. HAVERLAND. This grand old variety has made a place for itself solely on its merits. One of the largest sellers that we have in the list. The Haverland, while a pistillate variety, is one of the easiest to pollenize. It has a strong, vigorous, healthy plant, and is very productive. Large, long, conical, and of a bright crimson color. TENNESSEE Protiric. The plant is one of the most vigorous and healthy that grows. Large size, very productive. A beauti- ful bright crimson berry of mild, rich flavor. MARSHALL. The fruit of this remarkable sort is of enormous size, of handsome, glossy, dark-crimson color, and of delicious flavor. Itis one of the best midseason berries, either for private use or market, It is a vigorous grower and requires good soil and high cultivation. As it does not thrive in all soils, it should not be planted extensively until its adaptability is ascertained. LATE TO VERY LATE. COMMONWEALTH. This is the latest of all Strawberries; bearing large conical, deep crimson fruit, sweet and of quality equal to the well-known Bubach, when other sorts are past. Not only an extra large berry but also very productive, dark in color and solid, It is smcoth and quite juicy. The plants are strong, not quite so rank in growth as the Marshall, and free from rust. One of the most promising introductions of recent years. GaAnby. This popular old variety is probably known by most berry growers. It is more largely grown than any other late variety. It is at homeon black swamp land if well drained, upon medium stiff or red clay land. On sandy soils it is unproductive. All late varieties are compared by Gandy, which is the highest praise that could be given it. Large size, fine appearance, and remarkable keeping and carrying qualities. WILLIAM BELT. An exceptionally fine berry. In quality it heads the list. It makes plants freely, plants which are usually heavily rooted. The berries are as large, with some speciinens larger than the Bubach, It is about as produc- tive as the Bubach. Its color is perfect, its season nearly as late as Gandy. New Home. As late and large as Gandy, fruit a bright red color that does not lose its lustre and turn dark a long time after being picked. Uniformly large size and the best keeping and shipping berry grown. Vigorous sige oid and, unlike Gandy, will produce a large crop on either high or low land. ‘The fruit is so firm and keeping qualities so excellent, it does not need to be picked oftener than three times a week. Its great productiveness, uniform large size, and unsurpassed carrying and keeping qualities make it one ot the most desira- ble on the list. Nortu SHore, Originated with Mr. Wm. H. Monroe, the originator of Com- monwealth, who says of it, ‘I have fruited North Shore four seasons, getting a good crop of large, handsome berries each season. It is a large, handsome berry with small yellow seeds. Makes a large, vigorous plant with dark green foliage showing no disease, blossom strong, staminate, season medium to late, quality good. I think it will please you.” i STEVENS’ Late CuHAmpion. A late variety, yielding enormous crops of large, beautiful, and good berries that ship very well late in the season —after almost all other varieties have ripened and disappeared. Climax.
