Being grown in pots, they may be shipped to a distance and planted with almost no interruption to their growth. The earlier they are planted the larger the first season’s crop will be. 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. They may also be planted in single rows three feet apart, and one foot apart in the rows. Bi-sexual or staminate varieties, marked S, are self-fertilizing. Pistillate, or imperfect varieties, marked P, require a staminate sort planted near them for fertilization. Pot-GRowN PLANTS. — From 21% in. pots, well rooted, delivery August Ist to Sept. 15. Per 100, $3.00; 250, $7.00; 500, $12.50; 1000, $25.00, for all varieties. BRANDYWINE, S. A large heart-shaped berry perfect in form, bright red in color, with flesh firm, red to the centre, and of rich, spicy flavor. Brandywine is a favorite midseason sort of excellent quality and a great cropper, especially on heavy soils. CiiIMAx, S. A seedling of the old Bubach, medium early, combining large size and fine flavor. It is an enormous bearer, the fruit being medium red, solid, and of fine form. It is highly esteemed for shipping. CLYDE, S. Medium early; very prolific and excellent market berry; color light red; superior flavor. EXceELsior, S. This is one of the earliest to ripen, and larger than any other early sort. The fruit is of round conical form, glossy, dark-red color, and of sprightly, mildly acid flavor. GLEN Mary, S. One of the best sorts either for family or market use. It ripens at midseason, the fruit being large with firm flesh of deep red color, all through, and of superior sweet flavor. Glen Mary is a vigorous grower, and one of the best pollenizers to plant with imperfect-flowered or pistillate sorts. HAVERLAND, P. One of the best sorts for light or medium soils; bearing an abundance of long conical scarlet berries, very uniform in size.

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 isa 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. MILLER, S. This new sort has the vigor of Marshall or Nick Ohmer. Like these it is popular for exhibition purposes, and has been awarded many prizes for excellence, The berries are very large, bright glossy red. and of regular, roundish-conical form. The flesh is solid, light salmon in color, and of delicious flavor. MINUTE MAN, P. This is a most valuable addition, inasmuch that z¢ dears abundantly longer than any other American Strawberry. The fruit is of medium size, roundish and slightly shouldered, bright scarlet in color; sweet, firm, and without a core. One of the best for private gardens. New York, S. One of the best sorts for private gardens. ‘The berries are large, of long, conical form; dark- red color, firm texture, and of remarkably sweet flavor. Midseason. Nick OHMER, S. Second early, very productive sort, and one of the best for forcing under glass. Berries large, shining, dark red; excellent flavor. It is a strong grower, and succeeds best on rather heavy soil. PARSON’s BEAUTY, S., A splendid new sort resembling the old Wilson, but larger, ripening very early. It is very productive of delicious dark-red berries. An acquisition both for home and market use. SAMPLE, P. This fine variety, which is of Massachusetts origin, is probably the most widely grown of all Straw- berries for market use. It yields enormously, and the fruit is of large size, long conical form, bright red color, and with firm flesh, of good flavor. SENATOR DuNLAP, S. A leading Massachusetts grower pronounces this ‘‘the best early berry yet grown.’’ It seems to thrive in all kinds of soil, bearing great crops of large, dark-red berries of fine quality.

FARQUHAR & CO.’S MID-SUMMER CATALOGUE. DOUBLE PAEONIEs. ; Pzonia Festiva Maxima. The Peony is the rival of the rose. The Double Chinese Pzeonies come in bloom a few days before the hybrid perpetual roses; the flowers last as long; run in the same colors; many of them are delightfully fragrant and, because of their greater size, are much more decorative. Ponies thrive in ordinary garden soil, but attain their best develop- ment in strong, deep loam which has been well enriched with barn-yard dressing. Ground bone is perhaps the best commercial fertilizer; it may be used in combination with harn-yard manure or alone. September is considered the best month to plant Pzeonies, They should be set at least 21 feet apart, and strong crowing sorts like Festiva Maxima would be better if set three feet apart. In planting, the eyes should be set about four inches under the surface. The plants make stronger growth and yield larger flowers when established a year or two in a place; they dislike to be moved. Although little further care is necessary, Ponies respond readily to good treatment; a mulching of manure during winter, and liberal watering while in bud and blossom, and again during July, when the new eyes are being formed, will add greatly to the size and substance of the flowers. Insects rarely trouble Pzonies; they are among the cleanest of garden plants in this respect. Roots ready for delivery in September. R. & J.

The finest blooms are obtained from established clumps; con- sequently when planted they should remain undisturbed. Set the roots in clumps of three or more, four inches deep, and protect with leaves or other mulch during winter. : In planting groups of Irises it is possible to maintain a succession of bloom from May until late in the summer, by employing the four leading species, Spanish, English, German, and Japanese, which flower in the order they are named. We advise early autumn planting. GERMAN IRISES. (/77s Germanica. \ SS \ \\Y \\\ ] = 2S, WW \ \ “| ye Ont ifs SD rh a \ t I} hii Iris Germanica. Per doz., $2.50; per 100, $15.00.

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 wereturn them in the shape of ashes. Pure wood ashes is one of the best fertilizers for top-dressing lawns, grass lands, and seeding down; also for fruit of all kinds, especially strawberries, peaches, and apples. They are exceedingly valuable for lawns, imparting a rich dark shade of green, destroying insects and bad weeds, par- ticularly moss, which is so common on lawns. 100-lb. bag, $1.25; 200 lbs., $2.00; ton, $16.00.

BRADLEY’S XL PHOSPHATE has been more extensively used than any other brand of fertilizer in the world, and has given universal satisfaction on all crops and under all conditions. BRADLEY’S POTATO MANURE For Growing Smooth, Sound Potatoes of the Best Quality without Barnyard Manure. It is admitted by successful potato growers that a good commercial fertilizer is indispensable in raising potatoes of the best quality and free from rot or scab. Bradley’s Potato Manure is in no sense a theoretical or experimental mixture. It is prepared from formulas which repeated fedd-tests have proven to produce the largest crops of smooth, sound, and handsome potatoes. It is finely ground and very dry; it will, therefore, work perfectly in any planter. BRADLEY’S COMPLETE MANURES FOR ALL CROPS. Specially Adapted to Intensive Farming and Market Gardening. These manures are the richest and most effective fer- tilizers sold, as has 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 inany machine. They are divided intoclasses, based upon exhaustive field tests, and not upon theoretical experiments of the labora- tory, 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, *‘complete ” fertilizers, and the several grades furnish | complete plant-food in the best forms for all crops grown. gee” LN) (op) SPRAYERS.

ENTERPRISE LAWN SPRINKLER. | The advantages of our mi; No. t Sprinkler are as follows: Each machine is fur- nished with a cord or rope, so that the Sprink- ler may be easily moved, when running, without going near it. The water passes through a Strainer before it enters the small perforations, which are thereby prevented from filling up. The weight of the revolving parts is supported by the water. This reduces wear toa minimum. All parts of the machine are made sufficiently strong for ordinary rough usage, and 2 are interchangeable.
