FARQUHAR’S
ARTICHOKE. Alcachofa.
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, 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.

ASPARAGUS. Esparrago Spargel.
Culture. 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.

Culture. For very early use sow in January or February in hot-beds, prick out when the plants are strong enough into other hot-beds, or sow in hot-beds in March. Transplant to the open ground when danger from killing frosts has passed, in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches from plant to plant. For succession, sow in the open ground the last of March or early in April. The autumn and winter ® varieties may be sown in April or early in May in shallow % drills 3 or 4 inches apart; transplant early in July, making the rows about 24 feet apart, and setting the plants 2 feet apart in the rows. Cabbage succeeds best in a fresh, rich soil, well manured and deeply dug or ploughed. One ounce of seed produces about 3,500 plants.

CAULIFLOWER
Coliflor. Blumen Kohl.
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.

Farquhar’s Perfection Forcing Cucumber.
CUCUMBER. Pepino. Gurke.
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. One ounce to 50 hills; 2 to 3 pounds to an acre.

CULTURE.
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.

ONION.
Cebolla. Zwiebel.
The Onion has 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 im- possible 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.

A good, sandy loam produces the best potatoes, but they can be grown on all kinds of soil. 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. A change of seed is the best anti- dote for disease. Four barrels are sufficient to plant one acre in drills.

SQUASH. Calabaza. Speise Kurbiss.
Squashes should not be planted until all danger from frost has passed. They delight in a warm, thoroughly pulverized, very rich soil. Plant in hills in May, mixing with the soil in each hill a shovelful or two of rotted manure. For bush varieties the hills should be from 5 to 6 feet apart, for running sorts 10 feet apart. Put 8 or 10 seeds in each hill, and when well grown thin, leaving 2 or 3 of the strongest plants to a hill. Small seeded sorts, one ounce to 50 hills; large seeded sorts, one ounce to 15 hills.
The Delicious. One of the best sorts for winter use. Its color is almost uniformly of a green shade; it usually weighs between five and ten pounds. In thickness of flesh it surpasses nearly every variety, the color being a dark orange.

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.
Mr. Alexander Main, Farmington School, Conn., writes:—‘ Without doubt the New Boston Parks Grass Seed is the seed
to make a nice green lawn. Irecommend it to anyone who desires to get a satisfactory lawn.”

Messrs. R. §& J. Farquhar & Co., Boston, Mass. November 13th, 1907.
Gentlemen :— Ihave used your Lawn Grasses for the past eight years and have found them of extra fine quality and entirely free from foul seeds. Your Putting Green Mixture is the finest I have ever seen—the greens at Bretton Woods produced from tt are unrivalled. Yours truly, G. S. MERRITT, Prof. Golfer.
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. 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 FOLLOWING SPECIAL GRASS SEED MIXTURES, Quart, .30; by mail, .45; peck, 1.50; per bushel of 20 lbs., 6.00.
FARQUHAR’S PUTTING-GREEN MIXTURE.
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,”

GRASSES FOR PERMANENT HAY CROPS AND PASTURES.
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.

CLOVERS. |
ALFALFA.TURKESTAN. 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. This Clover will thrive where the soil is quite wet, and will even stand flooding without being killed. Productive and sweet and extremely valuable for both pasturage or soiling. 60 = 15.00

Japanese Millet. |Weight| po. | Per Per Ib, | 100 lbs. Cow Peas. for fodder or soiling. 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.

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 |

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

MILLETS.
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.

FARQUHAR’S FLOWER SEEDS, ANNUALS
The plants in the following list all bloom the first season from seeds. Many plants not annuals botanically, are included 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. Few cultivators realize the vast possibilities they afford at a minimum of cost. For cut flowers, garden beds, either in masses of color or for foliage effects, they furnish
ample material. however, many they once grown.

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.

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. I can particularly recommend your strain for fine bold flowers of good form and color, while the vigor of the bulbs cannot be surpassed. Very truly yours, A. H. WINGETT, Supt.
“The Begonias you sent me last spring are the finest I have ever grown, remarkable for their free-flowering and for the size of their blooms. Many of the Flowers have measured six and a quar- ter inches in diameter.’’
CHARLES SIMPKINS, Oak Hill, Peabody, Mass.

Wherever high-class decorations are required during summer, these plarts are indispensable. When grown in pots they may be used in tlie 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 de- sirable lor 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.

HARDY LILIES. —.
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.) Flowers 6 to 8 inches in width, pure white, with a wide band of gold running through the centre of each petal and numerous crimson spots. Each, .25; doz., $2.50; 100, $15.00.

Longiflorum. Large trumpet-shaped pure white flowers. 2 feet, strong bulbs. Each, .20; doz., $1.75; 100, $12.00.
Speciosum or Laneifolium. The most popular class of Japanese Lilies, their hardiness, free growth, and branching habit render- ing them most valuable for permanent beds and borders. They grow from 3 to 4 feet in height and continue in bloom from August until frost.
Speeciosum Album. Pure white, fragrant. Each, .25; doz. , $2.50; 100, $18.00.

One of the loveliest bulbous plants; most desirable on account of its immense pure waxy-white flowers, which are borne in clusters of two to three on a flower-stalk twelve _to eighteen inches high.

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.

STRAWBERRY PLANTS.
Our strong pot-grown plants give a full crop of fruit ten or eleven months after they are set out. Plant in Jnly and August. We have the best 20 varie- ties 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.
$7.00.
FIRST
Exeelsior. This is decidedly the best early Strawberry and the earliest good strawberry. The fruit is of round conical form, glossy, dark red color, and of mildly acid flavor.
Fairfleld. Mr. Johnson, the introducer, says he has never seen any berry nearly its equal for earliness, large size, attractive color,
quality and firmness,
Abington. A very prolific sort of Massachusetts origin, bearing large bright crimson, firm fruit of fine flavor.
Climax. This is an extremely popular new variety, immensely productive, the berries being slightly over medium size. Plant vigorous, healthy grower, of a peculiar shade of green that can be distinguished from other varieties. Our stock is from plants pro- cured of the originator and is exceptionally fine.
Glen Mary. Large, conical, bright red berries; firm and of fine flavor.
They may also be planted in single rows three feet apart and one foot apart in the rows.
LAYER PLANTS. For Spring planting; de. livery Apriland May. Per 100, $1.00; 1000,
POT-GROWN PLANTS. well rooted; delivery in July and August. Per 100, $3.00; 250, $6.50; 500, $12.50; 1,000, $25.00, for all varieties.
EARLY.
From 2/4 in. pots,
Sueecess. Large, round, bright scarlet, flavor always fine.
Virginia. A medium sized berry of recent introduction; flavor excellent; enormous yielder. Made a record of 12,000 quarts per acre at its home in the State of Virginia.
EARLY.
Sample. Excellent for either market or home use; prolific, large, firm and delicious.
Senator Dunlap. Mr. Crawford, at the time of its introduction by him, said that he doubted if he had ever sent out a berry bet- ter than Senator Dunlap. It will keep in fair condition for several days on the vines after being ripe enough to pick. The fruit is large, rich and dark red clear to the centre, with a very rich flavor.
MEDIUM.
Belmont. Large crimson fruit; a popular main crop sort for Boston market.
Bubaeh. A well known and everywhere popular variety. A large berry of a rich, bright red color; very prolific. Bubach is a pistillate or imperfect-flowered variety and requires a stamenate or per- fect-flowered sort planted with it for fertilization. Bismarck, Brandy- wine and Glen Mary are suitable.
Brandywine. A large heart-shaped berry, perfect in form, bright red in color, firm flesh, red to the centre, and of rich, spicy flavor. A great cropper especially on heavy soils, holds its fruit well up from the ground and generally succeeds everywhere.
Bismarek. Bismarck is a safe pollenizing strawberry, possessing all the desirable qualities of Bubach. To those familiar with the Bubach nothing further need be said, since Bubach has been a favorite berry for years. Bismarck makes a much finer growth than Bubach, and, from the fact that it beds up better, it will generally produce a larger yield per acre. Color a dull scarlet, ripens all over at once, haying no green tips. The seeds are prom- inent, and the berries quite firm.
Mark Hanna. Very large, somewhat resembling Marshall, but still more prolific than that favorite sort.
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.
Minute Man. A medium large well-formed berry of bright red color and superior flavor, bearing longer than almost any other sort. The flower is imperfect and requires a staminate sort like Glen Mary planted with it.
New York. One of the best sorts for private or market gardens. The berries are large, of long conical form; dark red color, firm texture and of remarkably sweet flavor. In the market they sell at sight.
Pride of Cumberland. The plant is a vigorous grower and free from rust. The bloom is perfect, ripens about one week earlier than Gandy; it is nearly as large, equally as firm, as good in color, will thrive in either high or low land, and generally more productive. It thrives on any soil, but owing to the immense crops it sets, the ground should be well fertilized to ensure best results,
LATE TO VERY LATE.
Commonwealth. This is the latest of all Strawberries; bearing large conical, deep crimson fruit, sweet and of quality equal to the well-known Bubach. Not only an extra large berry, but also very productive, of deep rich color and solid. It is smooth and quite juicy. The plants are strong, not quite so rank in growth as the Marshall, and free from rust. One of the best introduc- tions of recent years.
Gandy. This popular old variety is probably known by most berry growers. It is more largely grown than any other late variety. It is at home on black swamp land if well drained, upon medium stiff or red clay land. On sandy soils it is unproductive. <All late varieties are compared by Gandy, which is the highest praise that-could be given it. Large size, fine appearance, and remark- able keeping and carrying qualities.
120
William Belt. Anexceptionally fine berry. In quality it heads the list. The berries are as large, with some specimens larger than the Bubach. It is about as productive as the Bubach, and
of nearly the same shape. Its color is a bright, glossy, deep red; .
its season nearly as late as Gandy.
New Home. As late and large as Gandy, fruit a bright red color that does not lose its lustre and turn dark for a long time after being picked. It is a vigorous grower, and, unlike Gandy, will produce a large crop on either high or low land. The fruit is so firm and keeps so well, it does not need to be picked oftener than three times a week. Its great productiveness, uniform large size, and unsurpassed carrying and keeping qualities make it one of the most desirable on the list.
Steven’s Late Champion. A very productive late sort resemb- ling Gandy, the fruit being considered larger and more freely pro- duced than that sort.

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 mate- rials 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.
