ARTICHOKE. Alcachofa, (Sp.) ‘ i)

__ A most delicious vegetable, rapidly gaining in popularity. The heads are usually
boiled, and the bottom of each scale eaten with butter and salt. In France they are
more frequently baked with a dressing of fresh butter, forming a most savory dish.

Culture. Sow seeds in April or May, and when large enough, transplant in
rows 4 feet apart and 2 feet in the rows. They yield the second year, and require pro-
tection during Winter by earthing up and mulching. In the Northern States it is better
to treat this plant as an annual, sowing seeds under glass and keeping the seedlings

growing vigorously until May, when they should be set out in rich soil, when they will
produce fine heads the first season.

ASPARAGUS. § Esparrago, (Sp.)

Culture. Sow the seeds thinly in drills one foot apart and one inch deep. The per-.
manent bed should be trenched very deeply, and well manured with rich, thoroughly de-
cayed manure. Wide drills should then be made, 3 feet apart, and deep enough to admit
of the top of the plants being covered 6 inches. Set the plants, one or two years old, 12
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 60 feet of drill; rears. site

to the garden in June and cultivated like Cabbage. When the sprouts
become crowded cut off some of the lower leaves so that they may
develop. They will be ready for use in Autumn after the early frosts.

Cauliflower 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, fine heads can be ob-
tained in May or June. For a later supply sow seeds in a prepared
bed in May, choosing a cool, moist place. When large enough, trans-
plant, making the rows about 23 feet apart and 18 inches between the
plants. Transplanting should be done in'moist weather. One ounce
of seed produces about 3,000 plants.

CELERY. Apios, (sr)

Sow the seeds in March or April in a hot-bed or cold frame. As soon as the
plants are 3 inches high, transplant into a prepared border, setting them 4
inches apart. When grown 6 inches, and fine stocky plants, set in richly
manured, deep soil, in rows 3 feet apart, and about 9 inches from plant to
plant. Water, if dry weather follows transplanting. During the next two
months all the attention required is to keep down weeds. Afterwards earth up
a little, and continue doing so at intervals until only the tops of the leaves
are visible late in Autumn, Never hoe or earth up when the plants are wet.
To keep celery in Winter they may be replanted into a cool cellar, allowing
fully 3 inches of soil on the floor. Stand the plants in rows not more than
9 inches apart and partition off with boards equal to the height of the plants.
They will be ready for use in January. 1 ounce of seed produces about 4,000
plants.

CUCUMBER. Pepino, (Sp.)

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 upon them. For main crop plant in hills

4 feet apart in the end of May.

Leave 4 strong plants to each hill. The Cucumbers should be gathered when fit for use as if left to ripen it destroys their productiveness.

For pickles plant during June and July. One ounce to 50 hills; 2 to 3 pounds to an acre.

A Bed of Farquhar’s English Milltrack Mushroom Spawn.

MUSHROOM. (Agaricus Campestris. )

CULTURE.

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 fresh stable manure, which should consist of half droppings and half short litter; this must be thoroughly turned and
mixed; many growers prefer 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, if preferred, 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 12 inches thick. Leave it thus for. about a
week, or until the temperature has subsided to eighty-five degrees. Then make holes about 10 inches apart, and put in each a piece of spawn about the size of an
egg. Press the spawn firmly into the compost about 2 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 2 inches of fresh loam, and over this place a few inches of straw. If the temperature is right, mush-
rooms 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 treat-
ment 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 Milltrack Mushroom Spawn is sufficient for six square feet of bed.

MUSHROOM SPAWN. Farquhar’s English Milltrack. This Spawn is from virgin mycelium, germinated and developed under
special scientific methods, is not the uncertain material of the past, but is of uniform quality, prepared by the most suceessful and
progressive mushroom specialist i in England. We import every two or three months to ensure freshness.

ONION. § ceboita, (sr.)

Farquhar’s Selected
Yellow Globe Danvers
Onion.

Culture. The Onion had 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 should the weather be cold and unpleasant. 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 to two inches apart. Stir the ground freely without disturbing the young
plants and keep free from weeds. One ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 pounds an acre.

FARQUHAR’S EVERGREEN LAWN GRASS.

Farquhar’s Evergreen Lawn GrasSS is a mixture of the finest American and European grasses adapted to
lawn-making. The formula for this mixture is the result of life-time practical experience in making and maintaining lawns. Neither pains
nor expense are spared in obtaining grasses of high vitality and purity. It is our constant aim to make Farquhar’s Evergreen Lawn Grass
the best, purest and most permanent Lawn Grass sold. For the formation of new lawns sow not less than 5 to 6 bushels per acre. One
quart will sow a plot 15 x 20 feet or 300 square feet. For renovating existing turf, use one-half of this quantity. Price per quart, 35
cents (by mail, 40 cents); 4 quarts, $1.25; peck, $2.00; bushel, of 20 lbs., $7.50; 10 bushels, $70.00.

Farquhar’s “‘Heavy-Seed’’ Evergreen Lawn Grass Mixture.

- Many lawn and golf-link experts now prefer to use grass seed mixtures composed chiefly of hulled seeds. To meet this demand,
we now offer this mixture, the formula of which differs but slightly from that of ‘‘Farquhar’s Evergreen.”” In our ‘“‘Heavy-Seed Ever-
green Mixture’”’ most of the grasses have been divested of their chaff or hulls—the exceptions being several valuable kinds to which the
hulling process cannot be practically applied. For sowing new lawns, use four to six bushels per acre and for renovating old lawns, use
two to three bushels per acre. Price per bushel, $10.00; 10 to 25 bushels, $9.75 per bushel; 25 to 50 bushels, $9.50 per bushel; 50
bushels and upwards, $9.25 per bushel.

R. & J. Farquhar & Co., Boston, Mass. Weld Garden, Brookline.
Gentlemen:—It gives me great pleasure to inform you of the good results I have had with your Lawn Grass Seeds.

T have used them extensively, not only in Massachusetts, but in Washington, D.C., and in St. Louis, Mo., at both of which places
there is difficulty in getting good Lawns, and where the successful results from your seeds have been remarkable.

The Weld Garden in Brookline, which has been so frequently described and illustrated in the leading periodicals of the country, affords
the very best evidence of the high quality, purity and permanence of your Lawn Grasses.

Your Mixtures for various situations and for different parts of the country, I consider especially valuable.

Yours truly, Duncan Finlayson.

FARQUHAR’S BOSTON PARKS LAWN SEED.

This formula has been used for many years in the Boston Park Department and in the Metropolitan Parks of Massachusetts. It
is unquestionably one of the best mixtures for park work or where a free growing, hard-wearing turf is desired. Sow not less than 80 lbs.
per acre and in many cases 100 lbs. will be an advantage. Price, 40 cents per lb.; by mail, 45 cents. 10 lbs., $3.75; 100 lIbs.,
$36.00. 25 lbs. and upwards at the 100-lb. rate.

FARQUHAR’S SPECIAL GRASS SEED MIXTURES.

FARQUHAR’S FAIR GREENS MIXTURE.

This is composed mainly of perennial native Grasses and two very important European Grasses which have proven of great value for
Fair-Green use. They are all of dwarf, spreading growth, forming a close velvety surface which improves from year to year if given
proper care. It contains no clover, which is objectionable on account of making the surface slippery. If white clover is desired, the
quantity sown should not exceed one-half pound per bushel of grass seed. Sow 100 to 150 Ibs. per acre. Per lb., 40 cts.; per 100 lbs.,
at 36 cts. per lb.; per 1,000 lbs., at 35 cts. per lb.

FARQUHAR’S GRASSES FOR PERMANENT HAY CROPS AND PASTURES.
PRICES SUBJECT TO MARKET FLUCTUATION.

These contain 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 until fall. It is a well-established
fact that soil 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 good results obtained from our Special Grass Seed mixtures are demonstrated by the constant-
ly increasing demand for them. Fall seeding is preferable, but spring sowing will be successful if done early, while the land is cool and
moist. In addition to the Grasses, we advise sowing 10 lbs. of Mixed Clover Seed per acre. Clover seed should be sown separately as
it is heavier than Grass seeds and settles at the bottom when mixed with them, and in consequence is likely to be sown unevenly. Clovers
in their young state are tender in our climate, and should therefore be sown in spring.

Pastures sown with these Permanent Mixtures should last indefinitely if given a frequent topdressing of manure or
fertilizer, maintaining their cropping qualities throughout the entire season.

CLOVERS.

Prices subject to market fluctuations.

ALFALFA or LUCERNE. (Medicago sativa.) The chief merit of Alfalfa is the
fact that it can be cut three or four times in a season. The soil should be
deep, rich and well prepared. It does not succeed on compact clay, nor on
land with impervious subsoil. The roots shoot downwards, reaching ten to
fifteen feet below the surface and will therefore resist the driest weather.
Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per acre. Lb., 40 cts.; bush., (20 lbs.), $7.50; 100 lbs.,
$35.00.

ALSIKE or SWEDISH. (Trifolium hybridum.) This Clover will thrive where
the soil is quite wet, and will even stand flooding without being killed. Pro-
ductive and sweet and extremely valuable for both pasturage or soiling. Lb.,
50 cts.; bush., (10 lbs.), $4.75; 100 Ibs., $45.00.

MAMMOTH or LARGE RED NORTHERN. (Trifolium pratense.) On rich,
loamy soils this variety grows nearly twice as large as the Medium Red Clover
and is earlier in starting growth. Lb., 55 ects.; 10 Ibs., $5.25; 100 lbs.,
$50.00.

RED MEDIUM. (Trifolium pratense.) The best Clover for all practical pur-
poses. Succeeds best on rich, warm loams, containing humus. Lime and potash
are essential for its best development. A biennial, but by close pasturage may
be made to last several years. Lb., 55 ets.; 10 lbs., $5.25; 100 Ibs., $50.00.

SCARLET or CRIMSON CLOVER. (Trifolium incarnatum.) This annual
Clover thrives best on warm, loose, sandy soil. Its chief value is as a Winter
or early Spring pasture crop and as a green manure. A rapid growing, nitro-
gen-storing plant, and as such is invaluable for growth in orchards and wherever
it can occupy the land from July to December. Sow twenty pounds per

acre. It may be

sown at any time
from May to Octo-
ber. Lb., 35 cts.;

10 Ibs., $3.35; 100

Ibs., $32.00.

WHITE CLOVER.
(Trifolium repens.) Mammoth Red Clover.

This clover should al-

ways be sown on permanent or temporary pastures. Will grow on any
soil, but especially adapted to low meadows, where the surface soil is
mellow and rich. Sweet and nutritious. Lb., 80 cts.; 10 lbs., $7.75;
100 lbs., $75.00.

SWEET CLOVER (Bokhara or White Blossom.) (Melilotus alba.) A
vigorous biennial grown for hay, green forage or pasturage; valuable for
soiling. Sow twenty pounds per acre. Lb., 40 cts.; 100 lbs., $35.00.

MILLETS.

Nothing on the market is as well adapted to cover up shortages in hay crops as

are the Millets, yielding quick pasturage on almost any soil. They are rank
feeders, however, and do best on a fertile, mellow soil, which has had a liberal
application of barny ard manure. Sow in June or July, broadcast, 1 to 13 bushels
of seed per acre, or drill one-half bushel. Cut (if for hay) as soon as the heads
are formed.

MILLET, HUNGARIAN. (Panicwm 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 13 bushels to the acre. Bushel, (48 lbs.), $5.00.

MILLET, COMMON. (Panicum Miliaceum.) Excellent for forage. Requires
a dry, light rich soil. Height, 2} to 4 ft. Bushel, (50 Ibs.), $4.00.

MILLET, GERMAN or GOLDEN. (Panicum Germanicum.) An improved
variety, growing from three to five feet high. Under some circumstances it
will yield more per acre than the preceding. Bushel, (50 Ibs.), $4.50.

MILLET, JAPANESE. (Panicum Crus Gali.) This variety is particularly
adapted to the Northern States, making a quick growth and forming one of
the best crops for fodder or ensilage. It frequently attains a height of six
to eight feet, with numerous side shoots and yielding from ten to fifteen tons
of green fodder per acre. If required for dried fodder, it should be cut as
soon as the heads have formed; it is relished by stock, and cows fed on it
invariably increase in milk. Horses often prefer it to Timothy hay. If
sown broadcast it requires from 15 to 20 pounds per acre, or in drills 10 to

: 15 pounds to the acre. Bush.. (35 lbs.). Lb., 12 cts.; 10 Ibs. , $1.00; 100 lbs.

Bean, Early Green Soja. The best variety for planting i in the Northern States,
ripening early and producing enormous crops, yielding sometimes as high as
fifteen tons of green fodder per acre. It is also a valuable plant for ensilage,
and is frequently used in combination with the Japanese Millet in the ratio of
two parts Millet to one part Beans. The Soja Bean is also an excellent crop
for green manuring, adding a large quantity of humus to the soil. Sow 3 pecks
to the acre. Peck, $2.50; bush. (60 lbs.), $9.00; 10 bush., $85.00.

Broom Corn, Evergreen. This variety produces long, straight brush, very fine
and always remains green. The best sort for brooms. Height, 7 ft. Sow 10
pounds per acre. Lb., 10 cts.; 100 Ibs., $8.50.

Buckwheat, Common. Should be sown about the middle of June, broadcast,
using 1 bushel of seed to the acre. Bushel (48 lbs.), $3.50; 10 bush., $32.50.
Buckwheat, 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

for hay or thesilo. Itis of strong growth and frequently attains a height of
4 to 5 feet, thriving best in hot weather. Two cuttings can be obtained
in a season under favorable conditions. The seeds should be sown early in
May when the soil has become warm, using from 16 to 24 lbs. per acre.
Lb., 60 cts.; 100 Ibs., $55.00.

OATS.

Too little attention is given to the benefits to be derived from a change of seed, which
should be made in this country every two or three years, as any one acquainted with
our markets can see the degeneracy which takes place from the want of this attention.
A judicious selection and change can easily be obtained at moderate prices.

Peas, Field for Fodder and Green Manuring. The Blue and

the-White Canada Peas are two of the best varieties for general
cultivation; they afford 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 with mixed Peas and
Oats, thus furnishing a large amount of forage in August, when

. grass pastures are usually short. Sow 3 bushels to the acre; if

with Oats, 2 bushels.

Cow Peas, Whip-Poor-Will. (For fodder or soiling.) A valu-
able 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 leguminous
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 com-
plete 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 3 to 4 months.
Sow as early as May 10 or as late as July; one (1) bushel to
the acre in drills 24 bushels to the acre broadcast. Peck,
$1.75; bush., (60: Ibs. ), $6.50; 10 bush., $62.50.

Rape, Dwarf Essex. A forage plant of great merit, easily grown
in any part of the United States, and of great value for sheep and
lambs. One acre of Rape is sufficient to pasture 10 to 15 lambs for
two to two and one-half months. It is often sown broadcast,
about 5 Ibs. to the acre, but will yield much better if drilled about
3 lbs. to the acre in rows 22 inches apart, and cultivated until the
plants are well developed. It may be sown in May, but pref-
erably in June or July. Lb., 22 cts.; 100 lbs., $20.00.

Rye, Spring. Sow as a ‘‘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.

FARQUHAR’S FLOWER SEEDS.

ANNUALS.

The plants in the following list all bloom the first season from seeds.

because they bloom the first season, and for cultural purposes may be treated as annuals.

THE ANNUAL FLOWERS are equally valuable to professional and amateur gardeners.

Many plants not annuals botanically, are included

Few cultivators realize the vast

possibilities they afford at a minimum cost. For cut flowers, garden beds, either in masses of color or for foliage effects, they furnish
ample material. A few of them like the Asters, Poppies, Sweet Peas, and Nasturtiums are well known and largely used; there are how-
ever, many beautiful species which we enumerate in the following list, which are seldom seen, and which would be appreciated were they

once grown.

Hardy perennials are easily raised from seeds; they may be sown either in
Spring or during the early Summer. The simplest method is to sow them in a
frame, protecting the seedlings as they appear above ground from the sun. The
soil should be kept evenly moist but not saturated. Transplant the seedlings
once or twice if necessary to prevent crowding.

NEW AND RARE VARIETIES.

Wherever high-class decorations are required during summer, these plants are indispen-
sable. When grown in pots they may be used in the conservatory or the house with equal
satisfaction. For table decorations, for jardinieres, and for enlivening groups of palms or
ferns, they are most serviceable. 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 winds. 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.

FARQUHAR’S RARE LILY FROM CHINA.
Hardy, Beautiful, Fragrant.—The Finest Novelty Extant.

Field of Lilium regale (Myriophyllum) at our Roslindale nursery.

This grand new species is acknowledged to be the finest Lily in cultivation. i

It has received the following awards:

Gold Medal, Massachusetts Horticultural Society.
Gold Medal, National Flower Show, New York.
First Class Certificate, International Exhibition, London, 1912.

Lilium regale. (Mpyriophyllum.) The Regal Lily. Mr. E. H. Wilson,
the famous plant collector, collected for us in North-Western China, the bulbs
now offered. He considers this the finest of all Lilies. It is absolutely hardy,
and is excellent for forcing. It has been predicted that this will become the
Easter Lily of the future, and being so hardy, may be grown at home. The
flowers are white, slightly suffused with pink, with a beautiful shade of canary-
yellow at the centre, extending part way up the trumpet. It is delightfully
perfumed, reminding one of the Jasmine, and lacking the heavy oppressive odor

of most Lilies. Blooms out of doors early in July.

$1.00 each; $10.00 per doz.; $80.00 per 100.

Henryi. (The Yellow Speciosum.) A beautiful, hardy Lily from Northern China.
The plants are of vigorous growth, frequently attaining a height of 6 feet, each stem carry-
ing from twenty to twenty-five flowers of a rich, apricot yellow; spotted with brown.

50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. Extra large bulbs, 75 ets. each; $7.50 per doz. Lilium Henryi.

: 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 bull wi
Lilies were usually twelve to eighteen inches below the surface, and we gathered the finest flowers from Ee OH ROTA on mountains of age a ee
they had abundant rainfall and ample drainage. We believe that varieties like Aurantwm and Speciosum would be favored by being set ten or twelve inches deep
and would be less affected by frost and drought. The beds should be thoroughly covered with leaves or litter during the Winter.

ing for all the early flowering sorts.

HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS.

HE OLD-FASHIONED HARDY FLOWERS. The favorites of old-time gardens are again popular, 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 green-house assortment, and equally valuable for gar-
den embellishment and cutting purposes. The Hardy Plants have the advantage of greater permanency, requiring only cultivation,
enriching, a slight mulch during winter, and an occasional checking of the more robust growers to keep the plantation in good condition
for years.

Where early flowers are desired we advocate the introduction of groups of Narcissi, Scillas, which bloom in April and May and
should Pe planted in October, as well as Montbretias, 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.

Single plants of hardy perennials will be furnished at the following rates: Plants at $1.00, $1.25 and $1.50 per dozen, 20 cents

FARQUHAR’S GOLD MEDAL PONIES.

Peony. Baroness Schroeder.

The Gold Medal of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society
was awarded to R. & J. Farquhar & Co. for a Display of Pzonies,
June, 1913.

Peeonies require a good rich, deep soil and an abundant supply of
water during the growing season. When enriching the ground the use of too
much fresh manure near the roots should be avoided. An important point
to observe is not to plant too deep. The roots should be planted so that the
eyes will be 2 to 3 inches below the surface. Too deep planting is a frequent
cause for shy flowering.

The figure following the name indicates the relative time of flewering.

this handsome variety which is considered by many Pzeony experts to be
one of the finest of the Richardson seedlings. The large blooms are of

STRAWBERRY PLANTS.

Our strong pot-grown plants give a full crop of fruit ten or eleven months after they are set out. Plant in July and August. We have the
best 32 varieties for market and home use adapted to our climate. These, if planted in July and August, produce a large crop the next Summer.
Being grown in pots they may be shipped to a distance and planted with almost no interruption to their growth. The plants may be set in beds
of three rows one foot apart and one foot distant in the rows, with a space of two and one-half feet between the outside rows of adjoining beds

left for a pathway. They may also be planted in single rows three feet apart and one foot apart in the rows.

All the varieties offered are perfect-flowering (biserual) except where marked P. The latter are pistillate and require a row of a perfect-flowering

sort planted every 8 or 10 feet to pollenize their blossoms.

bone, blood and refuse meat. The mixture is in such good me-
chanical condition that it can be applied conveniently by any
one. For lawns it is most excellent, being not a stimulant merely,
but a plant food of lasting, enriching properties. When forming a
- new lawn use from 800 to 1000 lbs. per acre. Quantity required
for renovating an old lawn: 400 to 500 lbs. per acre.

Price, per ton, $68.00; 200 Ibs., $7.50; 100 Ibs., $4.00; 50 Ibs., $2.50;

BRADLEY’S COMPLETE MANURES FOR ALL CROPS.
Specially Adapted to Intensive Farming and Market Gardening.

These manures have 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 into classes,
based upon exhaustive field tests, and not upon theoretical experi-
ments of the laboratory, 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, “com-
plete’’ fertilizers, and the several grades furnish complete plant
food in the best forms for all crops grown.

Bradley’s Fertilizers are sold in original bags only.

SHEEP MANURE.

A soluble plant-food highly recommended for all purposes where
a first-class fertilizer is required. It is a pure, natural manure,
and has long been recognized as one of the most beneficial. As

at the rate of 500 to 800 pounds per acre. As a fertilizing agent
for plants indoors and in the open garden, it is one of the very best.

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 ingredi-
ents. So far as they supply potash and lime, they are “‘nature’s
plant food.’”’ These things have been extracted from the soil by
the trees, and now we return them in the shape of ashes. Pure
wood ashes is one of the best fertilizers for top-dressing lawns,
grass lands, and seeding down, imparting a rich, dark shade of
green, destroying insects and weeds, particularly moss; also for
fruit of all kinds, especially strawberries, peaches and apples.

tons, at $27.00 per ton in bulk delivered at any freight station

LAND LIME.

This lime is specially prepared for use on the soil and is a com-
bination of calcium hydrate and calcium carbonate, finely pulver-
ized. Lime is essential as a plant food and as a corrective for
improper condition of the soil. It also acts as a neutralizer for acid
soils. Quantity Required: Heavy soils, 2000 to 6000 Ibs. per acre.
Light sandy soils, 1000 to 3000 Ibs. per acre, according to their
apparent need. Price, per 100-lb. bag, $1.25; 500 Ibs., $5.00; ton,

LAWN MOWERS.
COLDWELL GASOLINE MOTOR LAWN MOWER.

For use on large lawns, such as are found on golf grounds, parks and large
estates, we recommend motor lawn mowers. Besides being great savers of
time and expense, the beneficial and beautifying results to the lawn obtained
by the constant rolling of the heavy rollers is in itself sufficient to warrant
their use.

Model ‘‘J.’’ A four-cylinder 1917 model motor furnishes the power for
the Coldwell Model “J” Motor Lawn Mower. The machine is also equipped
with Mayo radiator, gas tanks and bonnets, Cleveland worm gear drive and
Coldwell cutters. All gears are enclosed and run in dust-proof cases. It
has 50 per cent. less wearing parts than any other motor lawn mower made.
The gears and sprockets are all cut from the finest of steel for the purpose.
Model “‘J’’ can be speeded up to six miles an hour and will easily negotiate 25
per cent grades. Weight of machine, 2,000lbs. Weight on 40-inch drive rollers,
1,100 lbs. Price, $1300. (F. O. B., Newburgh, N. Y.)

““WALK’’ TYPES—MODELS “‘G’’ AND “‘H”’.

Simplicity, more than anything else, has been sought in this model.
Mechanical experience is not necessary to operate it and it can be
eared for by anyone.

In using this machine you simply have to guide the mower nego-
‘tiating any grade that a horse mower can be used on, and running
a keen 30” or 35” cutter over 6 to 8 acres per day. Model “H”
30-inch cut weighs 900 lbs. Model ‘‘G’’ (same type), 35-inch cut,
weighs 1,000 lbs. The operating handles are also used for raising
and lowering the cutter unit over obstacles. :

Price Model “G,’’ $350. Model ‘‘H,” $300. (F. O. B., New-
burgh, N. Y.)

TOWNSEND’S “‘TRIPLEX’’ HORSE LAWN MOWER.

This machine consists of three high-grade Lawn Mowers mounted
in such a way as to allow each mower to adjust itself to the contour
of the lawn, thereby cutting an 86-inch swath with extreme even-
ness. It is of extremely light draught, due partly to ball-bearing
and partly to the excellence of design and workmanship. Three
levers at the driver’s right enable him to lift any or all the cutting
units from the ground to avoid obstructions or in going to or from
the field. A small lever in the centre of each wheel operates the
clutch, throwing the machine in gear or out. Price, $275.00
(F. O. B., Orange, N. J.)
