Introduced by the Arnold Arboretum. Abies Delavayi. This is one of the handsomest of the Silver Fir family. It is also one of the hardiest known in China. Mr. E. H. Wilson tells us it is known in China by the name Lien-sha, meaning Cold Fir, in allusion to the fact that the tree grows in cold regions. Its upright growth and rich deep green foliage make it rival in appearance the Yew trees of Europe, and we predict that for landscape purposes this Fir will be used to produce the Yew effects here. $5.00 each. Abies reeurvata. This Fir is of pyramidal habit. The rich deep green foliage resembles that of Abies Delavayi, but is strongly recurved, which gives the tree a distinct and pleas- ing appearance. Mr. Wilson writes: ‘“‘In all respects this species is one of the most desirable of the family; and it was well worth a long journey to introduceit into cultivation.’’ It has proved perfectly hardy and like A. Delavayi will be a valuable addition to our trees for landscape planting. $5.00 each. NEW CHINESE SPRUCES. Introduced by the Arnold Arboretum. Picea asperata. A quadrangular-leaved Spruce from north- western China. Some of the trees are very glaucous in ap- pearance, hence the colloquial name Yun sha (Cloudy Fir). Old trees are very spire-like in outline. All the varieties of P. asperata are of dense growth, and the purplish coloring of the young foliage makes them strikingly beautiful in the early Summer. Picea asperata var. notabilis.

VEGETABLE SEEDS. mes A Bed of Farquhar’s English Milltrack Mushroom Sam 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 pelea 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 a dded. 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 deere, adding one pound of sheep manure to every five gallons. One pound of Farquhar’s English Milltrack Mushroom Spawn is sufficient for siz square feet of bed MUSHROOM SPAWN. Farquhar’s English Milltrack.

Cebolla, (Sp.) Farquhar’s Selected Yellow Globe Danvers 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 & CO., BOSTON. PERENNIAL PLANTS. 119 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 be 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 ‘each; plants at $1.75 and $2.00 per dozen, 25 cents each; plants at $2.50 per dozen. °0 cents each; plants at $3.00 per dozen, 85 cents each. ; = ; =e ACANTHUS mollis.

Farquhar & Co. for a Display of Ponies, June, 1913. Ponies 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. Walter Faxon. We are now ina position to offer a limited quantity of this handsome variety which is considered by many Peony experts to be one of the finest of the Richardson seedlings.
