CAULIFLOWER.
Coliflor, (Sp.)
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.

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 boraer, 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 re-
planted 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.

A Bed of Farquhar’s English Milltrack Mushroom Spawn.
MUS HROOM. (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
tgg. 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 successful and
progressive mushroom specialist in England. We import every two or three months to ensure freshness.
Price per lb., 30 cts.; 10 ibs., $2.75; 100 Ibs., $25.00

TISSUE CULTURE PURE SPAWN. This spawn is produced by selecting spores from individual specimen mushrooms and is propa-
gated and transferred to the bricks of manure which, when planted, produce Mushrooms, uniform in shape, even in size and of a
creamy-white color. Price per brick of about 1 lb., 40 ets. Per 20 bricks, $6.50. Per 100 bricks, $30.00.

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 SUMMER-FLOWERING BULBS.
Amaryllis Hippeastrum, New Hybrids.
AMARYLLIS.
Culture. The bulbs should be placed where they will be always slightly moist

the bulbs before the flower buds appear; when first potted give very little
water and promote growth by giving moderate bottom heat.
Hippeastrum. New Hybrids. (Vittata.) The finest race of
Amaryllis in cultivation; exceeding in the size and fine form of
their flowers as well as in the diversity of colors and markings,
all former hybrids. The segments are of nearly uniform size,
giving the flowers a regular trumpet form. $1.25 each; $12.00
per doz.
Equestris. Scarlet, with broad white stripes, extending from the
throat to half way up the segments. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.

Hallii. (Lycoris squamigera.) Bright rosy-lilac flowers, fragrant,
3 or 4 inches across, blooms in August. The foliage appears in
Spring, disappears in June, and is followed two months later by

for planting masses in May and flowering with great profusion
during the Summer.

Profuse blooming tender perennials for greennouse or conservatory
decoration during Summer. The scaly tubers -hould be potted in the early
Spring in a compost of turfy loam, leaf mould and sand. They should be
grown in a moist, warm temperature, shaded from the sun until they begin
to bloom, when they should be kept cooler to prolong the duration of the
flowers.
NEW VARIETIES.
These grand new seedlings were raised in New England by a
noted hybridizer and far surpass the older varieties in size
beauty of bloom. The plants are very vigorous in growth and
exceedingly free-flowering.
Magnifica. Magnificent flowers of sky blue with white

Bed of Farquhar’s Tuberous-Rooted Begonias.
FARQUHAR’S TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS.
The great value of Tuberous-Rooted Begonias for Lawn beds and borders is now appreciated. They bloom continuously from early Summer until frost,
producing a profusion of large and gorgeous flowers. Throughout Europe they are used very extensively, particularly in the beautiful parks of Paris.
They are of easiest cultivation, rarely attacked by insects 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 cultivators, and we feel assured that they are not surpassed by any strain in commerce.
Mailed free at dozen rates.
Cultural Directions. The tubers may be started in February or March, either singly or in small pots, or set two ‘nches 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 early as just described they may be planted unstarted 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

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 decorations, for jardinieres, and for en-
livening 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.

STRAWBERRY PLANTS.
Cultural Directions. The Strawberry is easily cultivated; abundant crops
can be gathered from a variety of soils, differing widely in character, from a light sand
toaheavy clay. The best soil isa deep sandy loam, but any soil suited to the growth
of ordinary: field or garden crops may be trusted to successfully grow
the Strawberry. This soil should be broken up and pulverized by
spade-trenching or subsoil-plowing, enriching with good stable manure
to the depth of fully two feet; the quality of manure to be determined
by the condition of the soil. The plants may be setin 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
forapathway. They may also be planted in single rows three feet
apart and one foot apart in the rows.
All the varieties offered are perfect-

Early Jersey Giant. A new, medium-early variety of great merit.
The berries are of conical shape with pointed tips and are a bright
crimson in color, with a delicious flavor and aroma.
Glen Mary. Large, conical, bright red berries; fine flavor.
Marshall. The fruit of this remarkable sort is of enormous size, of
handsome, glossy dark crimson color, and of delicious flavor. It is
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.

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.

CANADA HARDWOOD ASHES.
Ashes lack ammonia and phosphoric acid, but, contain potash
and lime, which are essential, not only as plant food, but also as

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. Analysis
