Our Customers at a distance will much oblige us by sending their orders EARLY. The press of our busiress is so great, as the sowing season approaches, that some delay in filling orders is unavoidable. Our friends, who send early orders, se- cure thereby prompt attention. Address, J. M, THoRBURN & Co., 15 JoHN STREET, NEW YORK.

Orders should be written apart from the rest of the Letler. Always write the NAMB of the variely of Seeds wanted, and noi merely the number in the Catalogue.

Be pariicular lo give your NAME and ADDRESS IN FULL wiih every order, to enable us to forward it promplly and correctly.

Customers are recommended to try the vitality of our Seeds as soon as received, _ this can readily be done with many Seeds by sowing a few in a flower-pot put in a warm place and watered daily.

We indicate, at the foot of each variely, the mest approved for early and late growth, and for any special purpose. These remarks are varied as each yeur’s experience, or the increase of varietics may render necessary, and as we prepare “these recommendations with much care they may be fully relied on.

The Directions for Culture are prepared for the neighborhood of New York City. Allowance must be made for more Northerly or Southerly localities as to the time of sowing, ete.

Families residing at a distance may rely upon us to make a proper selection of Seeds for the year, if they think fil, informing us of the size of their garden, or the amount to which itis wished the order should exlend.

Our stock of all Seeds for the present year is fully up to our usual supply, both as respecis quality and purity, and they may, therefore, be relied upon to give entire salisfuction.

2 Unknown correspondents sending orders for Seeds, etc., will please send Post Office money order, with order.

Cultivation of WVesctabics.

Both in weight and quality. the crop of all Vegetables to be as large as the <quantity and nature of the ground sowa permits, will be found to increase in proportion as sufficient space is afforded for the proper tillage cf the ground during its growth, and for the admission of the requisite influence and circu- lation of light and air. In the Directions for Culture appended to the vari- ‘ous kinds of Vegetables in the following Catalo: ue, the minimum space re- quired is pointed out. As Gardens, in some instances are small, in prepar- ing directions for general use, regard has been had to the due economy of ground, which is the reason that the minimum scale of space has been adopt- ed in the following Catalogue.

The greatest impediment to success inthe production of fine Vegetables, next to that pointed out in the preceding paragraph. perhaps, is want of due attention to the proper tillage of the ground. Nothing can supersede the advantages accruing from deep culture. When the plow is used, the sub-soil plow should fo}low it ; and all iand, whether heavy or light (except asub-sol of pure gravel,) will be benefited by it. When the spade is used the ground should be dug at least sixteen inches deep.

Good drainage is of equal importance.

It is best to sow and cultivate atu crops in drills and rows, in preference to broadcast. The crop is tilled at less expense, both of time and trouble, The hoe, during the growing season, shouid be continua ly at work; and, in direct proportion to the complete eradication of the weeds, and to the keep- ing of the surface of the ground open and loose, will be the weight and ‘quality of the crop.

The rotation of crops should be aftended to, Manure should be given to crops above ground, as the Cabbage tribe, Peas, the Potato (for that is not a root.) and similar vegetables, These should be foliowed by 1ioot-crops, as Carrots, Parsnips, &c., with less manure.

Those who are experienced cultivators have no need of these suggestions ; but few, who are not so, will be convinced of their importance, until by direct experiment they are satisfied of their value and truth.

We take this opportunity to call attention to the advantage as regards the early maturity of many Vegetables to be derived from starting them in a hot- bed in Spring. The trouble is not great and the time saved is valuable:

4. THORBURN’S CATALOGUE OF SEEDS.

LO ae

To PREPARE A HOT-BED for this purpose, a quantity of stable-manure shou!d be well shaken up in a heap, about the beg:nning or middle of February ; after remaining three days, it should again be shaken up and turned over, and after an interval of three daysrepeat thesame process. Let the manure remain for three or four days more in the hcap, and then form the bed of any dimensions that may be requisit. according to size or number of frames to be used, mak- ing the bed about afoot wider than the frame allaround. The bed, when made, should not be less than three feet high, the situation forit should be dry underneath, sheltered from the Nerth as muchas possible and fully exposed to the Sun. In making up the bed, beat the manure well down with the fork- Place about eight inches of light rich, soil in the frame after it is placed on the bed, so that the surface of the soil may be from six to eight inches from the top of the frame. After the bed has stood with the lights on, but raised a few inches to let the steam escape. for a few days, sow the seed of Cabbage, Tomatoes, Cauli- flower, Ege Plant, Celery, Lettuce, Radish, &ec., &c. When the Seeds make their appearance above ground, give some air, day and night, in moderate weather, by raising the lights two or three inches,—and as the heat of the bed dimin- ishes, increase the supply of air, to prevent the plants being drawn up. In severe weather, the frame and lights should be covered at night with mats or straw. In high wind, protect the side of the bed also in the same way, or the current of air through will extinguish the heat of the bed. If made early in the season, water only wil be required when the earth in the frame becomes quite dry ; as the Plants inorease in size, the supply of water may be increased. In frosty or cold weather the water should be made milk warm before it is used ;

this is important. a

ARTICHORE—Arrticuaut — Alcachofa—Urtigode.

French Green Globe, 0z., 50 cents ; @ tb., $5.00. Large Paris, very hardy. $ oz., $1.50.

@Gulture.—Select deep, rich, light loam, notliable to retain much water in Winter. Give plenty of well-rotted manure. Piant the seed the beginning ef May, in an open situation, and keep clear of weeds ; if dry weather, water frequently. The seedlings should be left in rows three and a half feet apart, and three feet distant in the rows. When cold weather approaches they should be covered with coarse litter, and every Spring receive a good dressing of well-rotted manure, well worked in with a fork. The offsets should be taken off, and the strongest used for new beds. <A bed will last five or six years.

ASCARAGUS ROOTS,

Giant, # 1000, $8; 4100, 31. Conover’s Colossal, 48 1000, $25; 42100, $3.00

Culture,—The seeds may be sown in the Fall, or as early as the season will permit in the Spring, in dril!s one foot apart. Press the earth well down with a roller or board. Keep free from weeds, and in the Spring of the second year transplant into permanent beds, which can be made as follows: The ground should not be too wet, nor too strong, and should have a large supply of well- rotted manure, several inches thick, laid on, and then regularly trenched -eighteen inches deep, mixing wellthe manure, The beds should be four and a half feet wide, with walks twofeet wide. Four rows of plants should be put in each bed, and the plants twelve inches distant in the rows The crown of each plant should be about six inches below the level of the bed. Every Fall cut the stalks down; afterwards giving a good dressing of manure, which turn under in the Spring without disturbing theroots. A slight dressing of selt in early Spring is very beneficial. Conover’s variety requires more space.

When the planis are six inches high, transplant into richly ma mured ground; the early kinds two feet apart, the later kinds, for Winter use, three feet apart. The ground must be deeply loosened and worked tHeroushie to grow large and good heads. Hoe often, to kill weeds, and draw some earth up to the stems. If troubled by the Cabbage flea (Hullica), sprinkle the plants with soot, woevd-ashes, lime, or Scotch snuff; either of the above will drive them away.

The above list comprises, it is believed, every desirable variety known, that has been tried, and found to succeed well in this climate.

Those marked * are Wrinkled Marrows, and should be planted thicker than the round Peas, as they are more liable to rol—ihey are the finest flavored of all the Peas.

Kinds.— We recommena, ior the first crop, Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 33; for second crop, Nos. 5, 6, and 7; for general crop, Nos. 12, 13, 18, 22 and 23; for late crop, Nos. 28, 29, 30 and 32. For small gardens, Nos. 33, 34and 41. No. 33 is one of the finest in cultivation. ©

Culture.—A light, dry soil, not over rich, snits the Pea. If they grow too vigorously, and show no signs of bloom, run a spade down about six inches from the row, and thereby root-prune them. Do this each side the row, and they will bloom ina few days. Plant as early as the ground can be worked, and again every two weeks, for succession throughout the season. Plant in single or double rows, from four to six feet apart, according to the different heights, about an inch apart in the row, and three inches deep. In Summer, plant six or eight inches deep. Hoe often. In dry weather, Peas should be

soaked in soft water five or six hours before planting, and if the ground is very ‘dry, they should be watered in the rows.

Hinds.—Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 are the earliest sorts ; Nos. 2 and 3 are the most productive ; Nos. 9, 10 and 11 are highly recommended for general crop.

Culture.—To grow healthy Potatoes and free from rot, it is necessary to plant them very early in the season, in good rich soil, that has been liberally manured the previous years. When the plants make their appearance above ground, apply to each hill a double-handful, each, of wood ashes and plaster mixed ; if kept free from weeds, a large crop will be the result. To have Pota- toes VERY EARLY, theseed must be sprouted, i.e, it must have made an advance. ment in growth of at least an inch. This sprout should be strong and well de. veloped, its thickness about that of the steam of a common tobacco pipe, and its top crowned with green buds just bursting into leaf; at the bottom of the sprout are emitted, or in the course of emission, small, thread-like roots, which, - as soon as planted, take possession of the soil. Here is the great secret of obs taining early Potatoes.

To acquire this stage of advancement, many expedients are resorted to. It is the natural habit to sprout early ; indeed, oftentimes there is a difficulty in

20 THORBURN’S CATALOGUE OF SEEDS. retarding this movement, for if the sprout is too long, itruns great risk of being knocked off in course of setting. The mode generally adopted is, in January and February, piace them in baskets, not over a peck in each, in a very warm: garret, or other room, that is light and warm.

Formation of ibawns from Sced. In the first place, see that your ground is thoroughly drained and well pre-

pared, sowing at least three bushels of seed to the acre.

Perhaps the best description of soil for a lawn is the stiff loam or clayey soils which predominate in so many districts. This ought not to be by any means too rich, as a rapid growth is not wanted in the grasses of a lawn ; but, in preparing it for laying down, let the surface be as much alike in quality as possible, and do not stint the quantity of seed. A very stiff clay is no better than a very dry sand for resisting drought, as it is, in a measure, sealed up against the insertion of roots, and the surface coutracting by the withdrawal of moisture, it is liabie to crack, &c., to a great depth. . Nevertheless, a stiff soil usually maies the best lawn.

If your ground is in condition to raise a good crop of Potatoes, it will make a good lawn, adding about half aton of Bone Dust to the acre, harrowed in before sowing the seed. The success of establishing a good lawn depends much on the season and condition of the ground at the time of sowing. A very slight raking in will protect the seed much, or a sowing of wood ashes will render them distasteful to birds. Rolling, however, is at all times indis- pensable, and it is a good practice to sow a very thin scattering of oats amongst the grass seeds, which, coming up quickly, tends to shade and protect the

tender grass.

The best time to sow grass seed is early in the Spring or about the begin- ning of September. If at the latter time, the seeds ought to have been the produce of the same season. Sowing plenty of them is also advised, as the little extra expense for a good lawn ought not to be denied.

One important thing should not be forgotten in the preparation of the ground : let it all have a surface of about six inches alike, for nothing looks worse than tosee a lawn grow all in patches. One exception. however, may be mentioned, and that is, if there be any steep slopes facing the South, or other exposed places, let the earth on them be better than in the ground level, for the aspect and other causes render such places liable to burn with less sun than level places. They ought, therefore, to be of a better material, and sod ought to be provided to lay there if accuracy be expected. When the grass becomes well established, it should be frequently cut ; the oftener you mow, the finer your grass will be.

Itis only proper here to observe, thatno lawn can be maintained long in good order without successive rollings. Mowing alone will not secure a good bottom without that compression which the roller tends to give.
