The Asparagus is one of our most delicious vegetables, and when proper care is taken in making the beds and setting the plants they will continue productive of fine crops for many years. Sowing.— To raise plants, sow seed in April, in drills one inch deep and one foot apart; thin out when the plants are well up, and keep free from weeds. The plants may continue one or two years in the seed bed, but not longer. After Culture.—The permanent bed should be trenched or ploughed very deeply, and well manured with rich, thoroughly decayed manure. Wide drills should then be made three feet apart, and deep enough to admit of the top of the plants being covered six inches. Set the plants eighteen inches apart in the rows, carefully evening out and separating the roots. For the sake of convenience, one drill should be made ata time, and the planting and covering 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 sixty feet of drill. Per pkt. Per. oz. Per lb. Conover’s Colossal.

It has been brought to its present high state of perfection after years of careful selection under cultivation, and we are indebted to some of our local market gardeners for some of the most reliable-heading varieties yet introduced. Culture. — Cabbages require deep, rich, thoroughly worked soil. For early use the plants should be started in a hot-bed or cold frame; seed for winter cabbages should be sown in a prepared seed bed in May or June. The late varieties seem to do as well if the seed is sown in the hills where the plants are to remain, and in that case sow two or three seeds where each plant is desired, and then pull up all but the strongest. Plant the early varieties in rows two-and-a-half to three feet apart, Farquhars’ Reliable Seeds, 19 South Market St., Boston. 25 and fifteen inches from plant to plant. The late varieties, in rows three feet apart, and about twenty inches from plant to plant. As an antidote for club-root, a good authority recommends a light application of lime and salt at ploughing time, in the proportion of two bushels of lime to one of salt. One ounce of seed produces about thirty-five hundred plants. Per pkt. Peroz. Per lb. Early Jersey Wakefield.

The Horn Carrots are grown for carly use andin shallow soils; in flavor they are more delicate than the medium and long varieties. These require deep soil, thorough!y enriched with old manure, as fresh manure tends to produce forked and worm-eaten roots. Culture. — Before sowing, make the surface smooth and fine, sow in April or May, in drills about an inch deep and about a foot apart. Thin out the plants from three to eight inches apart according to variety, and keep free from weeds. One ounce of seed is sufficient for one hundred Jeet of drill; three to four pounds for an acre.

Pieces of jnverted 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 four feet apart, in the end of May.

French, Champignon. Mushrooms are more easily cultivated than many people imagine, and may be grown in any dark room or cellar where the temperature can be maintained at from fifty to sixty-five degrees. For the bed, use a mixture of horse droppings and good fresh loam in equal proportions. Before being placed in the bed let this material be thoroughly mixed, and well turned over three or four times to sweeten in some dry place. Upon a dry, firm bottom proceed to make the bed, by spreading a thin layer of the prepared mixture and pound it hard; go on till the bed is eight inches thick Leave it thus for about a week, or till the temperature of the bed has subsided to ninety or ninety-five degrees. _ Then make holes about ten inches apart, and put in each a piece of spawn about the size of an egg. Cover the holes and press the soil solid and smooth. Let the bed remain in this condition about ten days, then cover with about two inches of freshloam. Over this place a few inches of straw. If the temperature is right Mushrooms will appear in six to eight weeks from time of spawning. The bed will continue bearing about a month. After the first cropis gathered, spread over the bed an inch of fresh loam, and moisten with warm water. In the event of the surface of the bed getting © very dry at any time, it should be moistened freely with water at a temperature of eighty to eighty- © five degrees. One pound of English Mushroom Spawn is sufficient for nine square-feet of bed. Mushroom Spawn, English. Best Milltrack. This quality can always be relied upon.

A good crop is impossible unless the soil is very rich and kept clean. Use well-rotted manure freely, and get the crop in as soon as possible in spring, no matterif the weather is 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 atmos- phere may not dry up and destroy the sprouting seed.

For general crops a good dressing should be applied, and for the dwarf kinds the soil should be very rich. The earliest Peas are mostly round, smooth seeded. These are very hardy, and should be sown as early as possible in spring; later sowings should follow of the fine, sweet, wrinkled varieties. Sow Peas in drills and os not less than fourinches. For the lowest sorts the dril!s should be two feet apart; those grow- ing taller should be three or four feet apart, according to height.

F'ine Flower Seeds. FOR EXHIBITORS AT HORTICULTURAL SHOWS, AND OTHERS. An extensive personal acquaintance with the foremost growers of FLOWER SEEDS. in Europe, enables us to supply strains that are rarely equaled and never excelied. We bestow unceasing personal attention to the selection of the CHOICEST FLOWER SEEDS IN THE WORLD, —visiting Europe almost annually for this purpos. | tn this connection we may state that many of the most successful competitors at the jorti- cultural Exhibitions in Boston use our seeds exclusively.

Our Kent Grown Sweet Peas have been fully matured,—seeds full, plump and fresh. As a consequence, the flowers are more numerous, larger, and more fragrant. For separate colors and new varieties, see page 85. Mixture of all colors, very finest: Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; pound, $1.00; postage paid. “KENT GROWN” NASTURTIURN GS.
