RESTORE YOUR LAWNS VERDURE AND VIGOR BY APPLYING NOW PULVERIZED SHEEP MANURE PURITY BRAND A soluble plant food highly recommended for all purposes where a first-class fertilizer is required. It is a pure natural manure and has long been recognized as one of the most beneficial. As a top-dressing for lawns it is unequalled, and the quality is all that can be desired. It should be applied early in the Spring, thereby stimulating the roots and producing an early growth, which will withstand the extreme heat of the Summer. For lawns it should be used at the rate of 500 to 800 pounds per acre. As a fertilizing agent for plants indoors and in the open garden, it is one of the very best. We have a splendid lot of this excellent fertilizer on hand ready for immediate shipment. Price, ton, $40.00; half-ton, $20.00: 500 Ibs., $10.00; 100 Ibs., $2.50. PURE CANADA UNLEACHED HARDWOOD ASHES. Ashes lack ammonia and phosphoric acid, but contain potash and lime, which are essential, not only as plant food, but also as sweeteners of the soil and solvents of other plant-food ingredients. So far as they supply potash and lime, they are “‘nature’s plant 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. Price, ton, $25.00; 200 lbs., $3.00; 100-lb. bag, $1.50. In car-load lots, minimum 20 tons, at $20.00 per ton, in bulk, or $23.00 per ton in 100-lb. bags, delivered at any freight station in Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and to any station in Maine except points on the Maine Central R.R.

PLANTS READY FOR DELIVERY IN APRIL. i BUDDLEIA asiatiea. ‘White flowered Win- A number of these plants were offered by us last year for tha first time. We now offer for the first time another group of these plant treasures. They are attracting universal interest, many orders coming from Europe, Japan and other parts of the globe. They are unquestionably the finest plant novelties extant. AMPELOPSIS Henryana. (Vitis Hen- ryana.) In habit, this new climber resembles our native woodbine. The ground color of the leaves is dark velvety green, with the mid-rib and principal veins silvery white. The foliage has a very striking appearance in autumn when the ground color changes to vivid red, the mid-rib and vein remaining white. In Massachusetts, this vine requires protec- tion during winter, but would probably prove quite hardy south of New York, or even farther north where the influence of the ocean moderates the temperature. Award of Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society of London. Each 30 ets.; doz., $3.00. AMPELOPSIS Thomsonii. (Vitis Thom- sonii.) This charming new climber is one of the most beautiful of the Woodbine family. It requires protection during winter.

Its several fine qualities make this new Barberry one of the handsomest and most distinet of its class. Each, 50 cts.; doz., $5.00. Buddleia variabilis magnifica. 2 ter Lilac.’ An elegant pot plant suit- able for general decorative purposes and cut flowers. Cultural requirements same as those of Chrysanthemum.

BUDDLEIA variabilis magnifiea. The in- dividual flowers are larger than those of Veitchiana, intense violent-purple in color with reflexed margins and orange eye. One of the finest acquisitions of recent years. A fairly rich soil, sunny position and abundance of water are the essentials for the successful culture of ‘‘Summer Lilac.” Each, 50 ets.; doz., $5.00.

This beau- tiful hardy, new Clematis begins to bloom early in June when a profusion of soft rosy- red blooms resembling those of the Japan- ese Anemone are produced. As the flowers are borne on the young wood, they appear more or less freely until frost. A First Class Certificate was awarded to this plant by the Royal Horticultural Society of London. Each, 50 cts.; doz., $5.00. CLEMATIS tangutica. A fine Chinese variety of free and rapid growth; bright green dense foliage.

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 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 degrees, 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.

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.

Use well-rotted manure freely, and get the crop in as early as possible in ‘spring, even should the weather be cold and unpleasant.

CLOVERS. a | : Prices subject to market fluctuation. ALFALFA or LUCERNE. 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, hor on land with impervious subsoil. The roots shoot downwards, reaching ten to fifteen feet below the surface. and will therefore resist the driest weather. Lb., 30 cts.; bush., (60 Ibs.), $15.00; 100 Ibs., $25.00. ALFALFA, GRIMM’S. This desirable strain of Alfalfa is now being extensively grown in the west where it originated. After extensive trials at various experi- ment stations it has been found to be hardier and more productive than any other known variety. Lb., 65 cts.; bush., (60 Ibs.), $36.00; 100 lbs., $60.00. ALSIKE or SWEDISH. Trifolium hybridum. This Clover will thrive where the soil is quite wet, and wilt even stand flooding without being killed. Pro- ductive and sweet and extremely valuable for both pasturage or soiling. Lb., 35 cts.; bush., (60 lbs.), $18.00; 100 lbs., $30.00. MAMMOTH or LARGE RED NORTHERN. Trifolium pratense. On rich, loamy soils this variety grows nearly twice as large as the Medium Red Clover and is earlier in starting growth. Lb., 35 cts.; bush., (60 Ibs.), $19.50; 100 Ibs.., $32.00. RED MEDIUM. Trifolium praterise. The best clover for all practical purposes. Succeeds best on rich, warm loams, containing humus. Lime and potash are essential for its best development. A biennial, but by close pasturage may be made to last several years. Lb., 32 cts.; bush., (60 lbs.), $12.00; 100 lbs., $30.00. SCARLET or CRIMSON CLOVER. Trifolium incarnatum. This annual Clover thrives best on warm, loose, sandy soil. Its chief value is as a winter or early spring pasture crop and as a green manure. A rapid growing, nitro- gen-storing plant, and as such is invaluable for growth in orchards and wherever it can occupy the land from July to December Sow twenty pounds per acre. It may be sown at any time from May to Octo- ber. Lb., 25 cts. ; bush., (60 lbs.), $12.00; 100 Ibs., Sie $18.00. 2 = WHITE CLOVER. Mammoth Red Clover. Trifolium repens. This clover should always be sown on permanent or temporary pas- tures. Will grow on any soil, but especially adapted to low meadows, where the surface soil is mellow and rich. Sweet and nutritious. Lb., 65 cts.; bush., (60 lbs.), $36.00; 100 Ibs., $60.00. SWEET CLOVER (White Blossom). Melilotus alba. A vigorous biennial grown for hay, green'forage or pasturage; valuable for soiling. Sow twenty pounds per acre. Lb., 40 cts.; 100 lbs., $35.00. MILLETS. Nothing on the market is as well adapted to cover up shortages in hay crops as are the Millets, yielding 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, broadeast, 1 to 1} 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 1} bushels to the acre. Bushel, (48 lbs.), $2.25. MILLET, COMMON. Panicum Miliaceum. Excellent for forage. Requires a dry, light rich soil. Height, 2} to 4 ft. Bushel, (50 Ibs.), $2.50. MILLET, GERMAN or GOLDEN. Panicwm Germanicum. An improved variety, growing from three to five feet high. Under some circumstances it will yield more per acre than the preceding. Bushel, (50 lbs.), $2.50. MILLET, JAPANESE. Panicum Crus Gali. This variety is particularly adapted to the Northern States, making a quick growth and forming one of the best crops for fodder or ensilage. It frequently attains a height of six to eight feet, with numerous side shoots and yielding from ten to fifteen tons of green fodder per acre. If required for dried fodder, it should be cut as soon as the heads have formed; it is relished by stock, and cows fed on it invariably increase in milk. Horses often prefer it to Timothy hay. If sown broadcast it requires from 15 to 20 pounds per acre, or in drills 10 to 15 pounds to the acre. Bush., (85 Ibs.). Lb., 10 ets.; 10 Ibs., 75 ets.; 100 lbs., Japanese Millet. $6.50. = R. & J.

The seed of this variety is considered in Europe to be the type which has reached the highest development, both for quality and yield. The grain is of fine texture, medium size and full; color light yellow with a tendency to white. The Princess Barley having only a moderately stiff straw thrives best on good, medium land. Sow 2 to 23 bushels per acre. Peck, $1.00; bush. (48 lbs.), $3.50; 10 bush., $32.00. Barley, Two Rowed. Bushel (48 lIbs.), $2.00; 10 bush., $18.50. Barley, Beardless. Bushel (48 lbs.), $2.00; 10 bush., $18.50. Bean, Early Green Soja. The best variety for planting in the Northern States, ripening early and producing enormous crops, yielding sometimes as high as fifteen tons of green fodder per acre. It is also a valuable plant for ensilage, and is frequently used in combination with the Japanese Millet in the ratio of two parts Millet to one part Beans. The Soja Bean is also an excellent crop for green manuring, adding a large quantity of humus to the soil. Sow 3 pecks to the acre. Peck, $1.50; bush. (60 Ibs.), $5.00; 10 bush., $48.00. Broom Corn, Evergreen. This variety produces long, straight brush, very fine and always remains green. The best sort for brooms. Height, 7 feet. Sow 10 pounds per acre. Lb., 10 cts.; 100 lbs., $8.50. Buckwheat, Common. Should be sown about the middle of June, broadcast, using 1 bushel of seed to the acre. Bushel (48 lbs.), $1.85; 10 bush., $17.50. Buckwheat, Japanese. Excels all other varieties in yield and earliness. On account of its earliness it can be grown farther north than any other. The grains are nearly double the size of those of any other variety. Enormously productive. Bushel (48 lbs.), $2.00; 10 bush., $18.50. Carrot Field. See page 46. Corn Field. See page 45. Kaffir Corn, White. An excellent fodder plant, either green or dried.

Mangel Wurzel. See page 46. OATS. Too little attention is given to the benefits to be derived from a change of seed, which should be made in this country every two or three years, as any one acquainted with our markets can see the degeneracy which takes place from the want of this attention. A judicious selection and change can easily be obtained at moderate prices. Oats, Welcome. 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. Bushel (32 Ibs.), $1.25; 10 bush., $12.00. d Oats, Black Tartarian. A very prolific and early variety, yielding enormous Hungarian Millet. crops of fine, heavy grain. The straw is long and strong and is considered one of the most nutritious for green fodder. Bush. (32 lbs.), $1.60; 10 bush., $15.00. Peas, Field for Fodder and Green Manuring. The Blue and the White Canada Peas are two of the best varieties for general cultivation; 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 with mixed Peas and Oats, thus furnishing a large amount of forage in August, when grass pastures are usually short. Sow 3 bushels to the acre; if with Oats, 2 bushels. Canada White. Valuable for Northern climates. Peck, $1.25: bush. (60 lbs.), $4.00; 10 bush., $37.50. Canada Blue. Valuable for Northern climates. Peck, $1.25; bush. (60 lbs.), $4.00; 10 bush., $37.50. Cow Peas, Whip-Poor-Will. For fodder or soiling. A valu- able 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 leguminous 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 thi soil and bring up the necessary potash, thus making a com- plete and natural fertilizer. 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 broadcast. Peck, $1.25; bush., (60 lbs.), $4.00; 10 bush., $35.00. Japanese Buckwheat. Rape, Dwarf Essex. A forage plant of great merit, easily grown in any part of the United States, and of great value for sheep and lambs. Oneacre of Rape is sufficient to pasture 10 to 15 lambs for two to two and one-half months.

NEW AND RARE VARIETIES. Wherever high-class decorations are required during summer, these plants are indispen- sable. 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 out-door beds gradually hardened off before being transferred to the open ground. Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Field of Lilium myriophyllum at our Roslindale nursery. This grand new species is acknowledged to be the finest Lily in cultivation. It has received the following awards: Gold Medal, Massachusetts Horticultural Society. Gold Medal, National Flower Show, New York. Gold Medal, Royal International Exhibition, London, 1913. Lilium Myriophyllum or Regale. The Regal Lily. Mr. E. H. Wilson, the famous plant collector, collected for us in North-Western China, the bulbs now offered. He considers this the finest of all lilies. It is absolutely hardy, and is excellent for forcing. It has been predicted that this will become the Easter Lily of the future, and being so hardy, may be grown at home. The flowers are white, slightly suffused with pink, with a beautiful shade of canary-yellow at the centre, extending part way up the trumpet. Jt is delightfully perfumed, remind- ing one of the jasmine, and lacking the heavy oppressive odor of most lilies. Blooms out of doors early in July. $1.25 each; $12.00 per doz.; $90.00 per 100. Lilium Sargentiz. The bulbs offered were also collected by Mr. Wilson. This is one of the strongest growing lilies— frequently attaining a height of six to eight feet. The flowers vary in number from five to ten on a stalk, and in size and shape resemble Lilium Harrisii; greenish white, shaded purple on the outside, and of the purest white within, with a tint of citron in the centre. The flowers have a pleasing fragrance. This lily wilk undoubtedly be largely used for outdoor planting as well as for forcing. Many consider it the finest of all tubular-flowered lilies. It flowers somewhat later than Lilium myriophyllum, and being of larger growth, has a distinct place. Awarded a Gold Medal by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, 1913. $1.25 each; $12.00 per doz. Lilium Sargentiaz. 106 R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO., BOSTON. SUMMER-FLOWERING BULBS. 107 HARDY LILIES. Effective results may be obtained by planting groups of hardy lilies in the herbaceous border or in the front of shrubs, giving them a slight protection which is of great importance to many of them. Z ..___ It 1s 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 Auratum and Speciosum 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 the winter. A Our sour 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 owering sorts. ; If Lilies are wanted by mail, add 5 cents each. Auratum. (Golden-rayed Japanese Lily.)
