The per- manent bed should be trenched very deeply and well manured with rich, thoroughly decayed 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 1 foot 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 cov- ering completed before another is commenced. In November the plants should have their annual top-dressing of manure after the stalks have been cleared away.

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 50 to 65 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- drop- pings 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 prefer- red, 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 1 foot thick. Leave it thus for about a week, or until the temperature has subsided to 85 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 tempera- ture is right, Mushrooms will appear in six to eight weeks from time of spawning. The bed will con- tinue 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 80 to 85 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 110 degrees, adding one pound of sheep-manure to every five gallons. One brick of Mushroom Spawn is sufficient for 10 square feet of bed. American Pure-Culture Spawn. This Spawn is produced by selecting spores from individual specimen Mushrooms and is propagated and transferred to the bricks of manure which, when planted, produce Mushrooms, uniform in shape, even in size, and of a creamy white color.

The Onion had been cultivated as an article of food from the earliest times, and is, perhaps, at the present day, more uni- versally grown than any other vegetable.

Sow in drills 1 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 3 inches high, thin to 2 inches apart. Stir the ground freely without disturbing the young plants and keep free from weeds. One ounce of seed sows 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 pounds, an acre.

See page 67 FARQUHAR’S RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS 69 SWEET PEAS CULTURE. Sweet Pea fanciers go to no end of trouble to prepare the ground deeply and richly. It is well for ordinary growers to work a trench at least 18 inches deep and wide, putting plenty of well-rotted manure or other suitable fertilizer in the bottom. This should be done in the fall, but if it has been neglected then, it should be done as early as the ground can be worked in spring. March is not too soon if there is a stretch of warm weather to mellow : the ground and make it workable =» Plant the seeds at the bottom of a furrow about 6 inches deep, and cover them with 2 inches of fine soil. As they come up, slightly hill the rows, leaving a depression on either side into which water can be applied which will percolate to the roots but keep the vines dry. Use brush or wire netting 4 to 5 feet high for them to climb on, and be sure to cut the blooms every day to prevent them from going to seed. Frequent watering is important if the weather is at all dry. Never let the ground bake or cake. Keep it cultivated at all times, or cover it with a mulch of grass clippings or some other material.

Streptocarpus, Giant Hybrids arquhar’s Hardy Perennial Flower Seeds By ES = << : a ce esd Fr = Cutture. Raising Hardy Perennials from seed is no more difficult than raising Annuals, except tor the element of time. Usually it requires a full year for the seedlings to reach the blooming-stage, or at least to produce truly representative bloom. In the main, the directions for caring for Annuals given on page 44 will apply to sowing and germinating seeds and the early handling of the seedlings. For most Hardy Perennials, May is the best time to sow, although good results may be obtained by sowing some, such as Forget-me-nots, Pansies, Daisies, and so on, from June onward. Give the plants plenty of room in the seed-bed, and transplant them to a spare piece of ground or nursery as soon as possible. They may be left in this nursery over winter if desired, and usually they will endure the severe weather better than if they were lifted and put in the borders. However, many of the stronger kinds will be large enough to put into their permanent quarters by the first of September, and should establish themselves sufficiently before winter to enable them to survive. The seeds of some of the best Hardy Perennials are somewhat slow to germinate. While most of them will appear above ground within the first two weeks, Aconitums, Primulas, Anthericums, Trollius, Dictamnus, and a few others may take months, or even a year. The beds in which such seeds are sowed should not be allowed to become weedy or dry during the dormant period, and in most cases the seeds will germinate vigorously when they are good and ready. Certain of the most desirable Perennials— Foxgloves, and Canterbury Bells, for example—are rather uncertain in their hardiness. Most gardeners find it best to winter seedlings of these varieties in coldframes or under some shelter which keeps them dry. Soggy manure or leaves piled upon the crowns invariably kill them. Delphiniums seem to enjoy being buried in coal-ashes; Hollyhocks, Gaillardias, and most other per- ennials prefer only the lightest of coverings or none at all. Butin the main the direction for wintering Hardy Perennials given in the Hardy Plant Section will apply to the protection of seedlings. For summer cultural directions, see Hardy Plant Section also. 5910 ACANTHUS latifolius (A. mollis latifolius).

SUMMER-FLOWERING BULBS Farquhar’s Summer-Flowering Bulbs AMARYLLIS CuuturE. The cultivation of Amaryllis is very simple. They: prefer a strong loam, free from decayed vegetable matter, and a sea- son of rapid growth, followed by a period of perfect rest until started again. While rest is necessary, they must not be allowed to become quite dry; water just sufficiently to keep the leaves from drooping. The bulbs should remain in the pots when at rest; too frequent shifting and too much pot-room is injurious. Because the pot is full of roots, it is no indication that the bulb needs repotting; on the contrary it is a sure indication of bloom. The pots can never be too full of roots as the bulbs flower all the better for being cramped; it is astonishing how little soil they require. The bulbs should be placed where they will be always slightly moist and warm, under the benches of a greenhouse, for example; do not pot up the bulbs before the flower-buds appear; when first potted give very little water and pro- mote growth by giving moderate bottom heat. vittata, New Hybrids ( Hippeastrum vittatum). The finest race of Amaryllis in cultivation, exceeding all former hybrids in the size and fine form of their flowers as well as in the diversity of colors and markings. The segments are of nearly uniform size, giving the flowers a regular trumpet form. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. equestris (Hippeastrum equestre).

FARQUHAR CO., BOSTON. SUMMER-FLOWERING BULBS. 95 FARQUHAR’S TUBEROUS- ROOTED BECONIAS The great value of Tuberous-Rooted Begonias for lawn beds and borders is now appreciated. They bloom con- tinuously from early summer until frost, producing a pro- fusion of large, gorgeous flowers. Throughout Europe they are used very extensively, particularly in the beautiful parks of Paris. They are of easiest cultivation, rarely at- tacked 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 other strain in commerce. Mailed free at dozen rates. Cuttcre. Tubers may be started in February or March, either singly or in small pots, or set 2 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, upward. The tubers should be covered 14inch with light soil and watered sparingly until they start, after which more water may be given. Keep the temperature at 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. Set the plants 10 to 12 Tuberous-rooted Begonias 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 avoided. SINGLE-FLOWERING VARIETIES These are best adapted to outdoor planting. Mixed. All colors. $3.00 per doz.; $22.00 per 100. Separate Colors: Crimson, Scarlet, Pink, White, Salmon, or Yellow.

SUMMER-FLOWE ey 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 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 outdoor beds gradually hardened off before being transferred to the open ground.

FARQUHAR CO., BOSTON. SUMMER-FLOWERING BULBS 103 HARDY LILIES Our Autumn Catalogue contains a complete list of hardy Lilies, most of which can be supplied in spring until May 1, if desired. We recommend fall planting for all the early- flowering sorts. Hardy Lilies should be planted in scat- tered groups in all perennial borders, as they produce an effect of stately dignity without which no border is complete. Lilies thrive among perennial plants or on the edges of shrubbery, where their roots are protected from the direct rays of the summer sun. Especialiy is this true in the case of L. auratum, one of the finest of all Japanese varieties. The Speciosums, Album and Magnificum, with their broad leaves arranged around the stem for protection, will generally succeed in any part of the garden, although, like all Lilies, they require good drainage. The stately L. regale, considered the finest of all hardy Lilies, will thrive and increase amazingly in the most unexpected places, although it will produce the finest blooms in a warm, pleasant situation, slightly shaded from the midday sun. L. canadense and L. superbum are the best varieties for planting among azaleas and rhododendrons, where the soil is more or less damp. L. tigrinum and the Elegans varieties will invariably succeed anywhere, even in the most un- favorable situations. If exceptionally fine blooms are desired, a top-dressing of leaf-mold and bone-meal should be lightly worked into the soil, but stable manure should never be used to fertilize Lilies. In planting, cover the bulb to a depth of approxi- mately twice its diameter, that is, a bulb 3 inches in diameter should be covered with 6 inches of soil. It is also advisable to place each bulb in a handful of sand to ensure perfect drainage. For winter protection, cover, after the ground is frozen, with a few inches of leaves and other litter, which should be removed in the spring. All varieties of Lilies offered below may be planted in early spring with excellent results. If Lilies are wanted by mail, add 50 cts. per doz. auratum. Golden-rayed Japanese Lily.

Chinese Wisteria Hardy Ornamental Shrubs We Make No Charge for Packing on Nursery Stock Shrubs are the most important group of plants to produce home-like surroundings and picture-like effects in the garden. They should be chosen not only for graceful habit and season of blooming, but for their variously tinted leaves and berries. Plant them liberally and thickly for quick effects, and thin them out as they begin to crowd each other. They appreciate deep preparation of the soil and liberal feeding with manure or other fertilizer. Keep the ground beneath them cultivated, and do not plant them in holes cut in the sod. Prune them as they increase in age, in the winter cutting out old, decrepit canes entirely, and refrain from snipping at the ends of the shoots. Encourage new growth from the base of the plants at all times. Early-flowering shrubs should be pruned immediately after they have finished blooming to encourage new growth to produce fewer the next spring. If they are pruned in the winter, the buds which were formed the previous summer will be cut off and the quantity of bloom will be seriously reduced. Late-flowering shrubs, such as Altheas and Hydrangeas, may be pruned in winter or spring because the flower-buds are formed the same season as they bloom. Broad-leaved Evergreens are generally best with no pruning at all. Do not attack border shrubs as one would a privet hedge or a box tree. Allow the shrubs to assume their natural, graceful form, but do not permit them to become old and crowded at the base. Keep them always growing new and fresh wood from the roots.

RHODODENDRONS RHODODENDRONS The ground selected for the planting of Rhododendrons should be prepared to a depth of at least 2 feet, with a compost of one-half light garden soil and one-half rotted peat. If the soil should happen to be heavy clay, good sharp sand should be mixed with it in liberal quantities. Rhododendrons will not flourish in limestone soils. After the flowers have fallen, it is very important that the seed-pods be removed immediately, so that the plants may make their full growth and mature their flower-buds for the following year. Granulated Peat Moss is an excellent all-year-round mulch for azaleas, Rhododendrons and kalmias. Large bale, $4.00. Unnamed Hardy Hybrids Mixed Colors.
