NEW STRAWBERRIES.

BUCKBEE. (Originator’s description.) A new hybrid strawberry
excelling all others in size, quality, quantity and flavor.

round in shape and similar in flavor to Chesapeake from which
it originated. Price, $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100.

KEVETT’S JUBILEE. The New Black Strawberry. (Origi-

nator’s description.) The plants are extremely vigorous and
healthy producing an abundance of very dark red luscious
fruits of exquisite flavor and giant size well above the ground.
Midseason to late. $3.00 per doz.; $20.00 per 100.

FARQUHAR’S ‘‘SELECT’’ VARIETIES. |

EARLY.

Campbell’s Early. One of the earliest berries, unusually productive;
fruit large and of a beautiful rich red color.

Exeelsior. This is decidedly the best early Strawberry and the earli-
est good Strawberry. The fruit is of round, conical form, glossy-
dark-red color, and of mildly acid flavor.

Glen Mary. Large, conical, bright red berries; fine flavor.

Premier. A wonderfully productive and very early new variety. The
mammoth berries are of beautiful form, rich bright red throughout
and very delicious. An excellent keeper and fine for shipping.
Pot-grown Plants, $10.00 per 100.

Senator Dunlap. The fruit is large, rich and dark red clear to the
centre, with a very rich flavor. It will keep in fair condition for
several days on the vines after being ripe enough to pick.

. MEDIUM.

Early Jersey Giant. A new, medium-early variety of great merit.
The berries are of conical shape with pointed tips and are a bright
crimson in color, with a delicious flavor and aroma.

Big Joe. A magnificent new Strawberry of robust growth and very
prolific. The berries are light crimson in color, unusually large and
of fine quality.

POT-GROWN PLANTS of the above ‘‘Select’’ Varieties, from 2}-in. pots, well rooted, delivery in July and August.
Not less than 250 at thousand rate.

$60.00 per 1000 (except where otherwise priced).

MEDIUM.—Continued.

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 cultiva-
tion. As it does not thrive in all soils, it should not be planted
extensively until its adaptability is ascertained.

MeAlpin. Very productive, and is considered by many growers to
be one of the best of the newer introductions. The berries are a
beautiful scarlet in color, very large and of rich, luscious flavor.

LATE TO VERY LATE.

Chesapeake. The plants of the Chesapeake are large and vigorous
with rich dark green foliage. The fruit is of large size, deep red in
color and of a rich aromatic flavor.

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 pro-
ductive, of deep rich color, solid and quite juicy.

First Quality. A strong, healthy and vigorous grower producing a
quantity of large pointed berries of delicious flavor. Excellent
variety for New England and other northern locations. Pot-.
grown Plants, $10.00 per 100.

William Belt. An exceptionally fine berry. In quality it heads the
list. The large berries are glossy, deep red; late as Gandy.

FALL-BEARING STRAWBERRIES.

The Fall-bearing varieties produce fruit at the
same season as the ordinary Strawberries,
but keep bearing until frost. To get the
best results for a late crop, the blossoms
must be carefully kept off until July or
the plants will completely exhaust them-
selves before Fall. If the runners’ are
kept cut during the Summer, it will give

additional vigor to the late crop.

Progressive. This variety is considered to
be one of the best perpetual bearing
Strawberries. The fruit is rich and

sweet, a deep red inside and out: of

good medium size and quite firm. Pot-

BUDDLEIA.
Hybrida, Eva Dudley. Mr. E. H. Wilson of the Arnold Arboretum
writes of this new plant as follows:— ;

“This charming new plant is of hybrid origin, the result of cross-
ing the well-known Buddleia Davidii magnifica and B. asiatica.
A free-growing and extremely floriferous plant, it combines the
good qualities of both its parents. Every shoot and lateral branch
terminates in a cylindrical tail from 6 to 20 inches in length, which
is composed of hundreds of fragrant flowers. The flowers are of
the most delicate lavender pink with intense orange centre. Apart
from its good habit and free-growing and floriferous character,
this new plant is remarkable for the delightful fragrance of its
flowers. A single spray delightfully scents a whole room. It would
appear to me that there is a bright future for this plant, not only
for decorative pot purposes, but also as a cut flower.

‘Messrs. Farquhar are to be congratulated on the production
of such a valuable novelty.”

LILIES FOR FORCING.

The bulbs may be potted from August onward in a compost of equal
parts tufty loam, leaf mold, rotted cow manure, and sand. It is best to
start them in pots not exceeding twice their own diameter, in which they
may remain until started eight inches or more. They should be trans-
ferred then to larger pots in which to bloom, exercising great care not to
disturb the roots or break the soil from about them, and setting them con-
siderably deeper in the larger pots. This method prevents the soil from
becoming sour, and enables the roots forming at the base of the stem to

riety.

become feeders, greatly increasing the number and size of the blossoms.

LILIUM HARRISII. (The Bermuda Easter Lily.)
Very choice, thoroughly ripened bulbs from the finest stock in Bermuda.
Mammoth Size. 9 to 11 in. circ. $9.00 per doz.; $70.00 per 100.
Extra Large Bulbs. 7 to 9 in. cire. $5.00 per doz.; $38.00 per 100.

LILIUM LONGIFLORUM—Japan Grown.

Giganteum. The flowers of this type are of a large size, perfect in form
and of superior substance; stems marked black.

Formosum. An early flowering type blooming as early as the Harrisii.
On account of unsettled conditions we are unable to quote fixed prices on
Japanese Lilies at the time of printing this catalogue. Prevailing prices
will be charged at time of shipment.

LILIUM CANDIDUM.

(The Ascension or Old-Fashioned English Lent Lily.)
These are grown for us in France, and are the large, thick petalled va-
Pure white bell-shaped flowers, borne in erect spikes, excellent both
for forcing and open garden cultivation. Bulbs from the Marseilles district
have become degenerate and affected by disease. They should be avoided.

Mammoth Bulbs. $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100.

Freesia, Purity.

FREESIAS.

The gracefully branched, fragrant flowers are of long duration, and being
freely produced are profitable for commercial purposes, and satisfactory to
amateurs. If planted early they may be had in bloom by Christmas. Plant
eight or ten bulbs in a six-inch bulb pan, covering them one inch.
