Jerusalem.—This variety is grown from tubers only (three bushel to the acre, cut to one eye; ) plant similar to potatoes, in rows three feet apart and two feet in the row; cover two inches deep. They are planted from March to April and are well adapted to soil where corn and potatoes can be planted. The tubers roasted or boiled, served with butter, salt and pepper, makes a dish something superior to potatoes, but are principally grown for stock feeding. One acre will keep twenty to thirty head of hogs in fine condition from October to April,except when the ground is frozen too hard for them to root, as they should not be dug in the fall, but the hogs turned into the field to help themselves by rooting for them. They are most excellent feed for cows and will cause an increasein quantity and quality of milk. Peck, 60c.; bush. $2.00. Low Price Asparagus-— Spargel. 1 oz. for 50 feet drill; 500 plants. 11b. produces plants to set one acre. To grow plants from seed, sow in April or May, in drills about one inch deep, in rows a foot apart. Keep the soil mellow and free from weeds. During the summer “thin out,”’ and the following spring the plants may be Set out in beds 6x6 feet wide, with a path two feet wide on eachiside; set the plants about a foot apart each way, with the plants four inches below the surface. Asparagus is very easily grown and has proved very profitable and satisfactory to the trucker and market gardener. It should be in every private garden, and when it is once well established, will, with proper care, last for twenty years or more. Asparagus will succeed wellin any good, rich soil, but a light, warm soil, which has been heavily manured for previous crops, is best. The Palmetto.—This variety is not only much earlier, but isalso a better yielder, and is more even than the Old Favorite. The Palmetto has now been planted in all parts of the country, and the reports we hear indicate that it is equally well adapted for all sections, North or South. Package 5c.; % lb., 10c.; Ib., 35c.

Asparaqus Roots... 100 2-year old roots plant a bed 15x50 feet, sufficient for medium garden. An acre requires 4000 to 6000 roots. _ CULTURE.—The quickest way of getting an Asparagus bed is to purchase the roots, which we can supply at very reasonable Prices, especially in large quantities. Two-year old roots are the kind usually set out. To prepare permanent beds for Asparagus, plow or dig out trenches eighteen inches wide and ten to twelve inches deep, making the trenches four or eight feet apart. In the bottom of the furrow scatter bone fertilizer and an application of well-rotted manure, which dig lightly in and mix with the soil, and then set the plants fifteen inches apart in the rows. Spread out the roots carefully and cover with soil and manure, care being used not to cover the crowns more than two or three inches at first, as the first shoots from the young roots are not strong enough to force through a deep mass of soil. On the approach of winter cover with manure, which fork in early in the spring, and apply a dressing of salt or kainit—kainit is probably best—and an application of half a ton per acre every other year will be very beneficial. If white Asparagus is desired, the second spring after planting, earth up in beds eighteen inches above the Toots, to blanch the Asparagus as it grows. If green Asparagus is desired, it is not necessary to earth up so deeply or to make the rows more than three feet apart Care should be used not to cut too late in the spring, as it is liable to exhaust the plants. During the winter or early spring, cut or burn off the growth, run the plow over the bed to throw the earth down, and apply manure, or potato fertilizer, or both, mixing same in with thesoil. To make white Asparagus, the beds must be freshly and lightly earthed up each spring just before the growing season commences. Insect Remedy.—For the Asparagus beetle use Slug Shot, or freshly slacked lime dusted on before the dew has disappeared. Any of the above varieties, 2-year old roots, per 100, 50c.; by mail, 75c.

Qt., 25c; peck, $1.50; bush., $6.00. POLE LIMA BEANS. Stangen=Bobnen. 1 quart to 150 hills. 8 to 10 quarts to the acre. The pole varieties of Beans are of strong running growth, and need stout poles or other support on which toclimb. They require a longer season to mature pods than the bush varieties, but by reason of their stronger growth are more productive, and growing on poles are more easily gathered. The varieties we offer are all of excellent quality, are highly desirable to plant to produce dry shell beans for winter use. When planted in the garden, poles should be set three to four feet apart each way. A shovelful of rich compost or well-rotted manure should be placed in the soil at the base of the pole before planting the seed. (New) Early Leviathan Lima.— This is the very earliest. It will not only give large Lima Beans earlier than any other strain, but isalso much more productive, both early and throughout the season. It is a good strong grower, clinging well to the poles, and isa sure setter of pods. The pods differ from those of other early Pole Limas in being straighter and longer. The pods hang out from the foliage in large clusters and contain three to four and frequently five large beans to the pod. Pint, 15c; qt., 30c; peck, $1.75. Bus. $7.50. Seibert’s Early Lima.— The earliest true Lima Bean. The vine is very vigorous and pro- ductive. The pods are large, but thin, andcan be more easily opened than those of other varieties. ‘The green beans are large, very handsome and of the best quality. In earliness, ease of shelling, size, beauty and quality of the greeu beans this variety is superior, and must come to be recognized as one of the best of all for either the garden or market. QOt., 25c; peck, $1.50; bush, $5.50. Extra Early Jersey.—Of a strong growth, maturing a good crop, quite early, pods medium size, usually contain three beans each. Qt. 25c; peck $1.25; bush., $5.00. King of the Garden.—A vigorous grower, bearing profusely large pods, varying in length from five to six inches, beans large and of rich flavor. Qt., 25c; peck $1.50; bush., $6.00. Ford’s Mammoth Podded.—This grand Lima Bean is the result of over twenty years’ se- lection by James Ford, one of the oldest market gardeners of Pennsylvania. The pods grow to an average length of seven inches and are produced in great clusters, with from five to seven beans per pod, of most excellent quality, for using either green or dry. The vines grow vigorously, setting the beans early at the bottom of the pole, and continue in bearing right up to frost. Ford’s Mammoth Podded is without exception the largest podded, finest flavored and most productive of all Lima Beans. Qt., 25c; pk., $1.75; bu. $6.50. Large White.—Considered by many the most delicious of the Bean family, a general favorite for home use or market. Qt., 25c; peck, $1.50; bush., $6.00. Dreer’s Improved.—The distinctive features of this are early maturity, large yield and extra quality. The en on is thick and round, rather than oval-shaped, as most of the other Limas are. Qt., 25c: peck, $1.50; >) Erfurt Early Prolific Broad Beans. The growth of this Bean is entirely different from any of the ordinary varieties known. ‘The plant is of robust, upright, self-supporting growth, reaching a height of 30 to 40 inches, the pods are thick and well filled with 4 to6 large beans in the pod, somewhat larger than the ordinary lima. They are more hardy than most varieties of Beans and can be planted earlier and withstands the drought well.

Lazy Wife’s Pole Bean.—The pods are five to six inches long, broad, thick, very fleshy and entirely stringless, far surpassing all other varieties in this respect, and retaining these important qualities until almost ripe. Pods are exceedingly rich, buttery and fine flavored. The vines cling well to the poles, a very important feature, as, owing to its wonderful productiveness, the weight of a vine filled with such a mass of large pods is very great. They commence bearing in great abundance when the vines are quite young, and continue to bear profusely the entire season. ‘The beans when dry are round, pure white, and also make a fine shell or winter bean. Qt. 20c. Pk. $1.25. Bus. $4.75, Horticultural, Cranberry, or Wren’s Egg.—This is a popular old vrriety for either snapshorts or dry ‘shell beans, especially adapted for short seasons and cool locations.

The following varieties have all been grown especially for Seed. The Seed is well cured and trueto name. Golden West is one of the most vigorous growing varieties that we know of. The stalk is of medium height, short jointed and has broad leaves which help to mature the large crop of Corn which it produces. It is the deepest-rooted Corn that we Khow of and therefore not easily injured by hard wind storms nor are the roots so near the surface as to be broken off and the vitality of the plant sapped and weakened in cultivating the crop. : The ears have usually eighteen to twenty rows. It is the most attractive appearing Golden Yellow Corn that we know of, just as the Silver Mine is the most attractive and best White Corn. There are many ears which measure eleven inches in length and weigh one and one-half pounds, containing 1200 to 1500 grains to the ear. The kernels are of such shape that they wedge in tightly and makea solid ear, not only at the cap, but also down near the point or germend. It ma- tures in about 100 days, thus making it a safe corn to plant and we claim that it will yield alarger crop than any other Yellow Corn in existence. Peck, 60c ; bush., $2.00.

The ears are long, with small red cob well filled with grains of medium size but deep, of a rich golden color. It ripens with us in from 100 to 110 days, and makes a good crop, even in dry seasons by reason of its earliness in maturing and strong vigorous growth. The stalks are rather slender and leafy, making excellent fodder, while the grains being so deep or long, yield an extra large quantity of shelled corn per bushel of ears. Peck, 40c.; bush., $1.25.

If Onions do not get a good growth be- fore hot dry weather, the crop issure to bea failure. Keep the soil mellow and clear of weeds. Sow in shallow drills, not less than a foot apart nor more than half aninch deep. As Onions grow on top of the ground they may be allowed to remain pretty thick, no matter if they crowd each other. In hoeing destroy weeds and keep the ground mellow, do not cover the -young bulbs with earth. It is useless to try to grow Onions on poor, un- suitable soil. Three days of neglect when the weeds are growing rapidly will sometimes ruin a crop, and a weék too late in sowing makes the differ- ence between a good and a bad harvest.

Our Seed Peas are of the best quality obtainable, being all grown far North, thoroughly cleaned and carefully hand-picked. They are raised from the finest selected strains, and the growing crops are rogued to remove all runners and improper types of growth. The Extra Early varieties are very hardy, and will endure a great amount of cold; should be planted as soon as the ground can be got ready—the sooner the better. Of late years some gardeners make a sowing of Extra Earlies late in the fall, seed lying dormant in the soil all winter and germinating very early in the spring. The larger wrinkled varieties are not nearly as hardy, and the seed is apt to rot instead of germinating if planted before the soil becomes slightly warmer on the advance of spring.

Pumpkins are grown largely both for cooking and for Stock feeding. They are frequently planted in corn fields, seed being planted in hills with the corn when hoeing the latter, and vines allowed to rum when the corn is laid by. To allow ample room in which to grow, seed should be planted only in every fourth hill and every fourth row, or even farther apart for the very strong-growing sorts. They are grown also as a second crop on land after early peas, etc. They are distinct from the winter squashes in having a thinner and more tender skin. They are more easily prepared for use, as a rule have lighter colored flesh, and do not keep so long as the hard-shelled varieties of squashes. Where grown as a separate crop, seed should be planted in hills eight feet or more apart each way when the weather has become warm and the trees are out in full leaf. Hoe frequently until well started, but donot disturb the vines after they have well started to run. When leaves have been cut down by early frost the Pumpkins should be gathered and stored in awarm., dry place, which is out of danger of freezing, but well ventilated. Cut them from the vine with a portion of stem attached, and handle ary to avoid bruising, if bruised, they will not keep for any length of time. KING OF MAMMOTHS.

For early use sow in the spring as soon as the ground can be worked, in drills, 6 to 10 inches apart, covering seed half an inch deep; thin plants an inch apart in the row.

All our Tomato Seeds are grown from stocks, exclusively for seed purposes, by the originators and experienced growers and experts. We are fully convinced of the merit of any new variety before placing them in our Catalogue, and therefore recommend at least a trial to our customers and friends. Extra Early Varieties. 1 oz. to 2,000 plants; 4 lb. to an acre. Earliana. For early, the seed should be sown in hot bed during February or the first week in March, in drills five inches apart, and half an inch deep. Later sowing may be made until the last of April. When the plants are three or four inches high they should be set out four or five inches apart, in another: hot bed or cold frame, or removed into small pots, allowing a single plant to the pot. Expose to the air as much as possible to har- den: Water freely at time of transplanting, and shelter from the sun a few days until the plants are established. Cultivate thoroughly as long as the vines will permit, but the last two or three workings should be, very shallow or the crop may be badly injured, especially if the cultiva- tor is run too near the plants. Sparks’ Earliana. This new Tomato was originated and developed in Southern New Jersey. The earliest smooth bright red Tomato of good size now in cultivation.

Sowing at such a time as to give the young plants a chance to become well established before being subjected to very dry or very cold weather. Too much care cannot be bestowed upon the selection of grasses, as some varieties are the most luxuriant in spring, others in summer, others again in the autumn, and a combination of the proper sorts is required for a perfect carpet-like lawn.

It makes an enormous growth, enabling the farmer to put plenty of nitrogenous vegetable matter into the soil ata small cost, and so very largely enables him to dispense with the use of nitrogenous commercial fertilizers, and has the power to extract this costly nitrogen from the atmosphere and to store the same in the vines and roots, so that if the crop is cut off, the land is still enriched and its condition im- proved. From five to nine tons of green fodder per acre have been produced by the Cow Pea. To grow for hay they are most valuable. For ensilage they are unsurpassed.

It also makes a good green manuring crop to turn under, but is not equal in this respect to Cow Peas. They can be sown alone at the rate of one and one half to two bushels to the acre, but a light seeding of oats, rye or barley will increase the yield and help to support the pea vines when the crop comes to maturity.
