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, trans- plant in rows 4 feet apart and 2 feet in the rows. They yield the second year, and require protection 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.

Sow the seeds thinly in drills one foot apart and one inch deep. The permanent 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 cov- ered 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 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. ‘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; 5 pounds sow one acre. Argenteuil. The largest and finest sort in cultivation. Pkt, 10>" oz., -20; 4 lb.,..60; Ib:, 2.00 Conover’s Colossal.

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 obtained in May or June. For a later sup- ply, sow seed in a prepared bed in May, choosing a cool, moist place. When large enough, transplant, making the rows about 2} feet apart and 18 inches between the plants. Transplanting should be done in moist weather. One ounce of seed produces about 3,000 plants.

Mushrooms are more easily cultivated than many people imagine, and may be grown in any room or cellar where the temperature can be main- tained 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 thor- oughly turned and mixed; many growers prefer a mixt- ure 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 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 sub- sided 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 com- post 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 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 gal- lons. One pound of Farquhar’s English Mushroom spawn is sufficient for six square feet of hed. The following works on Mushroom culture will be mailed post-paid on receipt of price.

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.

New or pasture land, with the turi freshly turned, produces the finest crop. Make furrows of good depth, 3 feet apart. Scatter a liberal dressing of phosphate or decayed stable manure along the drill, and set the seed about 10 inches apart in the rows. Cover with about 2 inches of soil, and begin to culti- vate when the plants are well up. At each successive hoeing, bring additional soil about the plants.

Gentlemen :-—It gives me great pleasure to inform you of the good results I have had with your Lawn Grass Seeds. I have us2d them extensively, not only in Massachusetts, but in Washington, D. C., and in St. Louis, Mo., at both of which places ther 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. NEW BOSTON PARKS LAWN SEED. We received from Messrs. Olmsted, Olmsted & Eliot their formula used in seeding the beautiful lawns of Boston’s new parks. Franklin Park and the Metropolitan parks were planned by this firm of eminent landscape architects, and their formula may be accepted as the best which experience can suggest for park lawns. Sow at the rate of 64 lbs. per acre. Price, 30 cents per lb.; by mail, 40 cents; 10 lbs., 2.75; 100 lbs., 25.00; 25 lbs. and upwards at the 100 Ib. rate.

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. Per lb., .20; per 100 lbs., at 18 cents per lb.; per 1000 lbs., at 16 cents per lb. Sow 50 lbs per acre.

The hardiest and finest low growing Grasses are contained in this Mixture. It produces a beautiful and lasting green turf calculated to withstand hard tear and wear. ; FARQUHAR’S TERRACE MIXTURE. A mixture of strong, deep-rooted Grasses for banks or terraces. Although the Grasses are strong and deep rooted, they will produce a fine green velvety surface, and also prevent washing away during heavy rains. FARQUHAR’S MIXTURE FOR SHADY PLACES. This is a mixture of extra fine grasses adapted for growing in the shade and under trees. We recommend the use of this mixture wherever other grasses on account of shade have failed to make a close sward. Mrs. W. V. Chapin, Pomfret, Conn., writes:—‘'Some grass seed bought of you last spring has been wonderfully fine. I wish you could see my thick, green, grassy walk, 1,200 feet long, under some apple trees. This ‘St. Dorothy's’ path 1s along a stone wall, and hardy perennials are opposite side from apple trees, and your grass seed made a beautiful path even this first year,” 30 R. & J.

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 jor 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. PERMANENT MIXTURES FOR HAY CROPS FOR ONE ACRE. FOR GOOD SOILS, COOL AND MOIST. FOR HIGH, DRY SOILS.

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. 60 ALSIKE or SWEDISH. Trifolium hybridum.

A valuable 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 luguminous 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 complete and natural fertil- izer. 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 broadeast. 56 3.50 | Oats, Weleome. ‘This is now a well-known and extensively grown variety, and is one of the heaviest, handsomest, and most productive white varieties grown. They stool heavily with extra strong, straight straw, standing well. Succeeds well in a wide range of climate, and under a great variety of soils and methods of culture. 10 bushels, 12.50. 32 1.5 Oats, Hamilton. Imported. Ahandsome English white Oat.

Thisvariety and the Green Field are the best two Peas for general cultivation, and 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 to mixed Peas and Oats, furnishing a large amount of forage in August, when Grass pastures usually short, and producing a supply of | milk as abundant as in early summer months. Sow 2 bushels to the acre; if with Oats, one bushel of each. Per peck, .75. Green Field. Per peck, .75. Each, 60 | 2.50 | ; Rape, Dwarf Essex. A forsge 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 lbs. to the acre, but | will yield much better if drilled about 2 lbs. to the acre, in rows 22 inches apart, and cultivated | oo until the plants are too large. Seed may be sown in May. but preferably in June or July. 56 | 5.60: .12 | 10.00 Rye, Spring. Sow as a “catch” crop, where winter grain has failed. The straw is shorter and stiffer 1) bie | than the winter variety, and is always easily secured, while the grain is of equal value. 56 1.75 Rye, Fall or Winter. Sow in August and September. Prepare the ground as for Wheat and sow at the rate of 1} bushels per acre. This has no equal as a crop to be used for late fall and early | spring pasture, and is one of the best to turn under for green manure. 56 1.50 Sand Vetch, or Hairy Veteh. Vicia villosa. An annual, a native of western Asia, has been cultivated | in this country and Europe for about 50 years. It should be sown at the rate of from 4 to 6 pecks per | acre, broadcast or in drills, from August 15 to October 1, and with it as a supporting crop to raise the vines up off the ground there should be planted from 2 to 4 pecks of winter Wheat, Oats, or Rye. | It should be cut. while the Vetch is in full bloom. It may be planted in spring in order to supply an early green crop for soiling purposes, or in midsummer for late autumn forage. 60 7.20 | 15 | 12.00 Spring Vetehes or Tares. Vicia sativa. A valuable plant grown extensively for stock and sometimes mixed with Oats for soiling. Culture the same as field Peas. | 60 3.50 | Sunflower, Mammoth Russian. This is highly prized by poultry raisers and farmers as a cheap food | for fowls, stock, and also for fuel. It is immensely productive, and can be raised cheaper than | corn, as any waste piece of ground will suffice. It is the best egg-producing food known. 28 | 1.50} .10 5.00 Wild Rice. Zizania aquatica. The only one of our native plants furnishing food for wild fowl, ducks, geese, etc.. which has been made an article of commerce. This seed can be sown on the borders of lakes, ponds, and along small streams to great advantage, attracting all of these wild birds from | September on. It purifies the water and affords refuge to the small fry from the large fish. It makes | good hay, and in the South two crops can be cut. Sow in water having a mud bottom. | 30 Wheat.

Nothing on the market is as well adapted to cover up shortages in hay crops as are the Millets. They can be sown up to the end of July, and will make a valuable catch crop. Millets will yield 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 barnyard manure. Sow in June or July, broadcast, one to one and one-half bushels of seed per acre, or drill one-half bushel. Cut (if for hay) as soon as the heads are formed. MILLET, HUNGARIAN. Panicum 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 one and one-half bushels to the acre. MILLET, COMMON. Panicum Miliaceum. Excellent for forage. Requires a dry, light, rich soil. Height, 23 to 4 ft. 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. | MILLET, JAPANESE. Panicum Crus Gali. Imported from Japan by Professor Brooks, of the Massachu- | setts Agricultural College. Has yielded in America about 7 tons dry straw and 90 bushels of seed per aere. Height, 6 ft. Has numerous side leaves and heads a foot in length. The fodder is relished by | cattle and horses, and the ground seed makes an excellent feed for poultry and cattle. Sow one to | two pecks per acre. Weight per Bueh. 48 50 Per Bush.

Price of all varieties, .10 per oz. ; .15 per } lb.; .35 per lb. ; 10 lbs. and upwards at .25 per lb. If by mail, add .08 per lb. extra for postage. MAMMOTH LONG RED. The largest and heaviest cropper of all the long red sorts. It grows well out of the ground, and is easily harvested. Color blood red ; a most valuable and distinct variety, and very popular on account of its nutritious and milk-producing qualities. Our seed is produced from the largest selected roots and is a most superior strain. GOLDEN TANKARD. A greater weight per acre may be obtained from this variety than from any other large growing sort. It is of excellent shape and of very neat habit. Flesh bright golden yellow, differing in this respect from all other varieties which cut white. Rich in saccharine matter and feeding properties. YELLOW GLOBE. This variety has a very fine top and single tap root, adapted for growing in shallow soils. Skin smooth, good size, and of excellent quality. RED GLOBE. Very similar to Yellow Globe, but differing in color. SUGAR BEET. One of the best paying crops for stock feeding. When fed to milch cows will increase the flow and quality of the milk. They keep well throughout the winter. They are not such heavy yielders as Mangel Wurzel, but are of superior quality and rich in saccharine matter. Oz.,.10; +1b., .15; lb., .35.

FARQUHAR & CO., BOSTON. SUMMER-FLOWERING BULBS. 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 gor- geous 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 cele- brated European cultivators, and we feel assured that they are not surpassed by any strain in commerce. Mazled free at dozen rates.

Tuberous Begonia, Farquhar’s New Frilled Type. Cultural Directions. The tubers may be started in February or March, either singly in small pots, or set two inches apart .n 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 1s 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 bedsmust be kept moist. A wind-swept situation should be avoided. : Allen Winden Farm, Lenox, Mass. Dear Sirs: It gives me pleasure to tell you that the Tuberous Begonia bulbs we bought of you have given us every satisfaction.

The increased production of many varieties of these in Japan has greatly reduced 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 Awratum and Speciosui 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 complete list of hardy lilies. most of which can be supplied in spring if desired. We recommend fall planting for all the early flowering sorts. Auratum. (Golden-rayed Japanese Lily.)

Anemone Japonica, THE OLD-FASHIONED HARDY FLOWERS. The favorites of old-time gardens are again popular, and deservedly so. No feat- ure 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 valuable for garden embellish- ment and cutting purposes. The Hardy Plants have the advantage of greater permanency, requiring only cultivation, enriching, a slight muich 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 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. Single plants of Perennials will be furnished at the following rates: Plants at $1.00 per dozen, 15 cents each; plants at $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, .30 cents each; plants at $3.00 per dozen, .35 cants each.
