AIN: EXOT Ea ION:

A dissatisfied customer is a great exception with us. Rarely indeed do
we hear of failures of any kind with our seeds. Our personal attention to orders, and the
care bestowed in growing and testing our seeds and selecting the purest stocks only, conduce
to this happy result.

We have received numerous awards for our seeds on account of excellence, purity, etc.,
one of the latest being from the State of Rhode Island, as shown.

In competitions, our collections have never been surpassed in excellence or in the awards.
‘A large proportion of Exhibitors at Agricultural and Horticultural Exhibitions patronize our
House alone for their seeds; therefore it is not our custom to show flowers or vegetables in
competition. We frequently exhibit, however, in Boston, sometimes filling long tables run-
ning from end to end of the large halls of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. The
expert judges of the Society have bestowed many honorary awards, and thousands of visitors
have given us the highest commendations for our exhibits.

Better still, and far more cheering to us, are the many kind words from those we try so
earnestly to satisfy.

DREER’S DWARF OR BUSH LIMA BEAN.

A true, large-seeded, full-podded Lima, and not a small-seeded Sieva Bean, or a worth-
less novelty.

Ff BUSH LIMABEAN =

BSPOUSTOIPLANT
Y, \e i } ; mas

During the past year we have had excellent opportunities of practically testing this fine
DwarrF Lima Bean, and recommend it in high terms. It is in every way equal in fine quality
to the tall Dreer’s Improved Lima. The plants are of vigorous, bushy habit, producing pods
in great abundance, and growing about 14 feet in height. . Comes into bearing in August,
ten days earlier than the pole variety. The beans lie close together in the pod, and are very

‘thick, sweet and succulent. We offer in original sealed packets. Per Packet, 20 cents.
Mailed free.

EARLY CHAMPION DWARF BEAN.

Every gardener should plant this bean, as all who try it will surely agree with us in stat-
ing that it is the best bean yet introduced for the table. The pods are green, abundant, and
of delicious, tender quality. Mr. A. Low, the raiser, prefers it to all, after trying almost
every known sort. Per Quart, 25 cents; Packet, 10 cents. ‘

ii Novelties and Specialties, 1892.

THE WARREN BUSH BEAN.

An excellent bean in every way. Comparing this while growing with the Early Cham-
pion, we found the two varieties alike. The Warren is a darker seed of the same general
appearance. Per Packet, 10 cents.

NON-RUSTING GOLDEN BUSH SEAN.

A distinct and most valuable bush bean, with white seeds marked with black around the
eye. In our trials we found the pods were entirely free from spot or rust. Itisa robust —
grower, very productive, very tender, and of exceptionally fine flavor. Whether for family
use or market, it will be found in every respect superior to the older wax bush beans, and is
sure to become a universal favorite with all growers. Per Peck, $1.75; Quart, 40 cents;
Packet, 10 cents.

EARLY GOLDEN-EYED, DWARE WAX BEAN.

Very early, grows rapidly; a most abundant bearer, and has never been ee? to spot;
uniform in shape and size of pod; tender, succulent, and of the handsomest appearance ;
invaluable for home use or market. Per Packet, 10 cents; Quart, 40 cents; Peck, $1.75.

SELECTED DWARF HORTICULTURAL BEAN.

EXTRA EARLY; EXTRA DWARF; RUNNERLESS.

This stock has been trained down to the greatest perfection. It is by far the best type of
Bush Horticultural Bean for all cultivators, as the vines come into full bearing eight or ten
days before the old variety; are dwarf; do not run; pods remarkably bright red colored, and
the strain is exceedingly productive. We recommend this bean in the highest terms. Per
Packet, 10 cents; Pint, 20 cents; Quart, 40 cents.

YOSEMITE MAMMOTH WAX BEAN.

If planted thin, the Yosemite will be found exceedingly satisfactory for home use. We
grow it in preference to any wax bean on account of its tenderness and delicious flavor as a
Snap Bean. Its fine qualities are a surprise to those who have never tried it. Per Quart,
70 cents; Packet, 15 cents.

THE CROSBY POLE BEAN.

We have many orders ahead for this very early, highly colored Pole Bean, from cus-
tomers of last year. It is the earliest, most productive
and best type of Horticultural Bean, and is without a
rival for family use or for market. Per Quart, 40 cents;
Packet, 10 cents.

Low’s BROCKTON POLE
BEAN.

Rapidly displacing old favorites; covered with very
long red pods, of excellent quality; one of the best in
cultivation. Per Quart, 35 cents; Packet, 10 cents.

EARLY ARLINGTON BEET.

The best type of Early Blood Red Turnip Beet fcr
general crop. Of uniform round shape, with smooth
skin; flesh very dark red; sweet and tender in quality;
top small and short; very early and of fine size for the
table. Per Packet, 5 cents, Ounce, 10 cents; Pound,
60 cents.

REYNOLDS’ EARLY CABBAGE.

4
#4
as (

-

Remarkably hard heading, and very short stemmed. Mr. Gregory, from whom we
received our seed, describes it as of rich, tender and sweet flavor, and superior to the Drum-
head class. It is also one of the earliest and surest heading. Very highly recommended for
early crop. Per Ounce, 40 cents; Packet, 10 cents.

DELMONICO SAVOY CABBAGE.

THE FINEST FLAVORED TABLE VARIETY EVER INTRODUCED.

The opinions of hundreds who tried this variety last year are expressed by one of the
number, who writes :—

CANTON, MAINE, September 29, 1891. I cannot help writing of my satisfaction with your DELMONICO
Savoy CaBBAGE. Nearly every plant set out made a LARGE, SOLID HEAD, while its flavor is incomparable
with any other kind I have tried. Your strain of ‘‘Stratagem’’ Peas was also much more even in type than
that of two other growers. I have had seed of you for six years; and after.trying other seedsmen otcasionally,
on the whole still prefer your seeds, as more reliable for vitality, and especially for purity — very important in
growing fine vegetables. Signed, J. M. L.

We cannot speak too highly.of the fine qualities of this splendid Savoy Cabbage. ‘The
heads are of medium to large size, solid, finely curled in the leaf, and, when cooked, of the
most delicious flavor. This cabbage has been perfected by one of the best growers in the
vicinity of Boston, and is no untried, imported novelty. Every plant produces a head; and
whether for the private grower or market gardener, there is no variety so good. Per Packet,
10 cents; Ounce, 40 cents; Pound, $4.00. Postage paid.

PERFECTION RED CABBAGE.

This splendid type of Dark Red Cabbage originated with Mr. Buxton of Peabody. It is
infinitely superior in every respect to any other red cabbage, having the advantage of years
of training and selecting in the hands of this most skilful cultivator. The heads are large,
very solid, and of beautiful dark color. The great advantage in this cabbage is in its dwarf
habit of growth, and sureness to head solid and firm. For pickling, or for use as a relish, it
is incomparable; and every family should grow and use this excellent vegetable, which adds
such a pleasing variety to any table at trifling cost. :

The following letter was received by Mr. Buxton, who raised our seed.

S. P. Buxton, Esq., Dear Sir,— Can you spare me some PERFECTION RED DRUMHEAD CABBAGE SEED,
such as last season? I will give you $1.00 per ounce, and more, if you say so. I give this money now to secure
it. It took eleven to twelve to fill a large barrel heaping. W. B. bought a load, and fifty was all he could haul
off the field. He bought them for seed. I cannot say too much in its favor,—I am so well pleased. They beat
my Stonemasons. Let me have the seed of your stock at any price. Signed, P. K., Danvers, Mass., Febru-
ary 7, i891.

This is the earliest, whitest,

of cauliflower in the market. The
heads are very solid, large, and
finely formed, while its dwarf
habit and short outer leaves allow
it to be planted very close.

No better proof of superior-
ity can be given than its great
popularity with the critical grow-
ers for Boston market for two
years. This past season one of

Our stock of this valuable and incomparable new Celery was imported by us direct from
the introducer in Paris, France. It is of a beautiful waxy, golden color; very thick, solid
stalks, of rich, nutty flavor; growth close, compact and of medium height, and can be blanched
in half the time of other sorts. It is the finest introduction of recent years, and every culti-

GIANT PASCAL CELERY.

In our trials last year this variety proved entirely rust-proof. It is the strongest growing
of all, and is of remarkably fine appearance and delicious quality. The heart and inner leaves
are naturally waxy-white in color, very crisp and nutty in flavor. It is easily blanched, and
eae cropper of any. Per Packet, 10 cents; Ounce, 40 cents; Pound, $4.00. Postage

F ARQUHAR’S FIRST-CROP SUGAR CORN.

DELICIOUS, LARGE EARS; DWARF; EXTRA EARLY.

This variety, now depended upon by most wide-awake growers all over Massachusetts
for Earliest Crops, is being re-named and introduced (?) by several enterprising individuals,
and offered to their customers as a novelty at high prices.

FARQUHAR’S FIRST-CROP SUGAR CORN-Concluded.

It is the only very early variety worth growing, as all others are either without flavor, or
so small as to be worthless when compared with our First Crop. It has become the standard
variety with amateurs, gardeners, and market growers, being fully as early as the flavorless
Cory, and entirely free from any red color. It is of low growth, and productive; ears of
good size; kernels quite large, white, and of delicious flavor. In every respect the BEstT

EARLY CORN YET BEFORE THE PUBLIC,

shall DISCARD THE CORY FORIT. . . - Yoursis very jfinein quality. It is the first SWEET Harly J ever had.

Ellington, Ct., July, 1891.”’

D. W. Arnold, Quincy, writes: ‘* Your corn was the earliest in this neighborhood by several days. My
neighbor planted the ‘Cory,’ and L beat him by several days. Yours is also of good size, and very sweet.”

Scores of similar testimonials from customers have been received, and we do not know
of any one who has been induced to try it, who does not plant it regularly afterwards, to the
exclusion of all other early sorts. Weown all thetrue stock. None genuine except received
direct from us. Per Peck, $1.50; Quart, 30 cents; Quart, by mail, 40 cents; Packet, 10

cents; Selected Ears, 10 cents, free by mail; Ears, per 100, $5.00.

IMPROVED EARLY CROSBY CORN.

Some years ago we bought a few remarkable ears of Corn raised
by a hybridizer from the Original Crosby. We have raised from these
choice ears sufficient stock to offer seed in limited quantity. This
selection has all the good points of the old sort combined with ExTREME
EARLINESS, LARGE SIZE AND FINE QUALITY OF EAR. Being of low
growth, and with its heavy crop of ears low down, it may be planted
very close, and is just the sort for all who raise Swerr Corn for
their own table. Per Packet, 10 cents; Quart, 40 cents; Quart by
mail, 50 cents; Ears, 10 cents, by mail; per Dozen Ears, 75 cents.

FARQUHAR’S BANANA SUGAR

None Genuine
Without Seal.

CORN.

The Sweetest and Most Delicious Table Corn in Cultivation.

Not a large, coarse-growing, marketing sort, but is the finest for every lover of good
Sweet Corn for home use. It is the Corn for the epicure. Many letters have been sent us in
‘its praise, from which we select those of three well-known gentlemen, in which it is very

aptly described : —

Mr. W. J. GREEN, of the OHIO AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION, Columbus, O., writes: ‘We
are much pleased with the quality of the Banana Sweet Corn. It cannot fail to become a popular variety for

home use, and will, no doubt, sell well in market wherever it becomes known.”

Hon. H. Brown, West Newbury, Mass., writes: ‘* Messrs. Farquhar: I send you sample of Banana
Sweet Corn raised from seed I bought of you last spring. I pronounce this variety the best I everraised. It

has a fine flavor, is tender, creamy, and devoid of skinniness, so common in other sorts.

Indeed, in eating it one

would hardly notice that. it had a skin. Itis of medium height, takes good hold of the eround, stands up
well, and yields abundantly, most stalks bearing two ears, some three and four; one I send you has six, as

you will see. Owing to its juciness it requires great care in curing it for seed.”

Mr. C. T. FLeTcHER, South Lancaster, writes: ‘‘I find your Banana Sugar Corn to excel all others I
have grown for sweetness and tenderness. I have grown Potter’s aaa Stowell’s Evergreen, etc., but the

Banana is much better.”

FARQUHAR’S NEW.

Long-Standing Lettuce.

THE FINEST HEAD LETTUCE IN CULTIVA-
TION FOR SUMMER CROPS.

After years of careful selection of this
strain, we offer to our customers a Lettuce
that has never been excelled in fine quality
and long-standing properties. Every plant
produces a fine, large, firm head. Evenin
the heated, dry August days, this Lettuce
will be found to stand in head long after
other sorts have run up to seed. It is earlier
than any head Lettuce we know of. The
heads are of beautiful form, and the flavor
is peculiarly nice, refreshing and quite free
from bitterness. We recommend this Let-
tuce in the highest terms. Per Ounce,
$1.00; Packet, 10 cents.

ARLINGTON TENNISBALL LETTUCE.

MOORE’S PRIZE STOCK.

This Lettuce is the result of several years’ careful selection by one of the best growers for
Boston market, who has made the perfecting of the Lettuce his specialty and study. ‘This
strain has taken first premiums for two years at the exhibitions of the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society, over all competitors. It is one of the earliest grown. The heads are of beauti-
ful form, large, solid, and of remarkably crisp and tender quality. It remains in fine condi-
tion for use during hot weather, long after other varieties have run up to seed. No variety
grown will give better satisfaction to the private grower or market gardener; and as most
dealers now sell only California-grown Lettuce Seed, so unsuited for this climate, it may be
well to take account of the value of a strain of pure seed which bears such a recommendation
as the following :—

ARLINGTON, Mass. I send herewith the stock of choice Lettuce Seed, as engaged. This is all the seedI
have to sell, and no other seedsman shall have any. It is the finest strain I know in the country, and the same
as has taken first prize over all others at the exhibitions of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.

Yours respectfully, Signed, Gxro. D. Moore.

This fine Lettuce has given great satisfaction to hundreds of customers who had it from
us last season. Per Packet, 10 cents; Ounce, 50 cents; 4 Pound, $1.50. Postpaid.

FARQUHAR’S HONEY-DROP MELON.

As regards fine flavor, we claim first place for this Melon. Flavor, and not size alone,
is the desideratum in the Melon family ; and in the Honey Dror we have fair average size,
extra fine melting flavor, great earliness, and great productiveness,

The flesh is very thick and of a rich yellow color. For the table it is by far the
sweetest and best Melon to grow. Per Ounce, 50 cents; Packet, 15 cents.

FARQUHAR’S MUSHROOM SPAWN.

- As supplied to almost every large grower in Massachusetts.
Made expressly for R. & J. F. & Co. by the most successful Mushroom Specialist
| in England. —“—

When in Europe recently, we ascertained that the leading Eng-
lish Mushroom growers purchased their Spawn of a noted manufact-
urer whose spawn never failed under proper conditions. We imported
a trial lot of forty bushels, and all our customers who used it were’
much pleased, the Mushrooms coming early, very plentifully and of
fine form. We have arranged for a regular supply of the same fine
quality. Our friends may rely on its freshness, as we import three
times a year. In Bricks, per Pound, 15 cents; Large lots at special

TRUE YELLOW DANVERS ONION.

Specially Fine, Home-Grown Seed.

The seed is from the best types of the true globe
shape, all carefully picked by hand. It,is new growth,
plump, heavy, and of strong vitality. The Onion is
early, large in size, and a large and never-failing
yielder. It has a very small neck, ripening up hard
and fine. In market it attracts marked attention, and
is not only the best keeper, but finest flavored. Such
a strain of seed as is here offered is all the more
yaluable, as tons of Californian Onion Seed have been
bought by other dealers. To any grower who desires
to see and test our Onron Suep, before buying in
quantity, we will mail a sample packet for three
2-cent postage stamps. This strain was awarded first
premium at the Massachusetts Horticultural Society’s
exhibitions, Bay State Fair, and Concord, Mass.,
Fair. Per Packet, 10 cents; per Ounce, 30 cents;
per Pound, $3.00. Postage paid.

PLEASE NOTE. In addition to the above,
we offer, at page 15, excellent new seed of

price of $2.00 Per Pound. This seed is grown by a careful Eastern grower, and
is much superior to Californian Seed at any price.

inches; remarkably smooth, handsome and clean in appearance; of most superior flavor and
fine texture. Mr. A. R. Barker, wholesale grower of vegetables, of Ashmore Park, N. Y.,

season. It may be sown early, being hardy. Per Packet, 5 cents; Ounce, 10 cents; Pound,
60 cents.

THE WaRREN SQUASH.

Originated in a field of Essex Hybrid Squashes. Has a darker and richer color than the
Essex, and is a very hard-shelled, good-keeping Squash. The flesh is thick and quality
excellent. The warty appearance of the shell —deep orange color —and uniformly marketable
size of this variety will insure its popularity. It is, indeed, a valuable improvement. Per

TO OUR CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS.

N submitting this new, revised and improved edition of our Catalogue,
we would state that the new varieties of real merit will be found in our
GENERAL List, while all inferior varieties have been discarded.

We thank you most heartily for the very generous support
extended to us, and we beg to assure you, that our incessant care is to
maintain the highest standard of excellence in all our seeds, and to give every
customer satisfaction.

Our Seed Store is the largest and best appointed in the city,
and we continue to deal in the HIGHEST GRADE OF SEEDS ONLY,
our business being solely with GARDENERS, FARMERS, FLORISTS and AMATEURS,
who purchase for their own planting, and who come to us year after year be-
cause they rely upon our furnishing the very finest of everything that can be got.

Many scores of letters have been received by us from customers
of last year, bearing testimcny to their satisfaction with our Seeds and Bulbs.

It may interest new customers, to know that we do not keep
the low grades of seeds usually offered by Seedsmen to country merchants,
many of whom buy almost anything in the shape of seeds, if only cheap. We
do not offer seeds to merchants, and have no agents.

Qur anxiety and efforts continually are to please and satisfy every -
customer, and should any seeds supplied by us prove defective, we hold ourselves
ready to refill the order gratis with other seeds; and here we limit our responsibility
—we do not warrant our seeds in any respect. We are not accountable for want of
due care, bad weather, etc., at sowing time, and do not hold ourselves accountable
in any way for crops. No gardener or farmer at sowing time can warrant the crop,
even if he uses seeds of his own raising.

As customary with us, the germinating qualities of our seeds have
been fully and carefully tested in hot-houses built by us for this purpose.
Our prices will be found very reasonable for the fine quality of seeds

supplied, and we respectfully ask a continuance of your patronage, with the assur-
ance that all orders shall receive our careful, personal attention.

The Globe Artichokes are hardy perennials, growing about three feet high, with numeroas
branches. The large heads are used, and are produced in abundance from May to August.

Culture.— Seed may be sown in April out of doors, covering one inch. Next spring, transplant the
young plants singly in rows four and a half by three feet. Mulch during very dry weather. They showlc
be pianted in rich, deep loam, and manure applied every spring. One ounce of seed sows thirty feet of

ASPARAGUS. (Spargei.)

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.

Culture.— Sow seed in April, in drills one inch deep and one foot apart. 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: cov—
ered 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 at a time, and the planting and coyer-
ing completed before another is commenced. In November the plants should have their annua} top»
dressing of manure after the stalks have been cleared away. The dressing should be forked in as soom
as the ground can be worked in spring, ard the bed neatly raked. One ounce of seed sows sixty feet of”

drill.

tion. Thé seed should be sown in May, in a seed bed, and the plants afterwards set in rows two anda
half feet apart, and eighteen inches between the plants. Rich mellow soil. One ounce of seed produces

about fifteen hundred plants.

CABBAGE. §(Kopfkoii.)

The Cabbage in its wild state is anative of Europe. 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.—For very early use, sow in January or February, in hot beds; prick out when the plants
are strong enough, into other hot beds; or sowin cold frames in March, transplant when danger from
killing frosts is passed, to the open ground, in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches in the row. Fora succes-
sion, Sow in the open ground the last of March orearlyin April. Plants which have been sown in the Fall,
and wintered over in cold frames, are usually set out from the middle of March to the middle of April,
in rows about 2 feet apart,and 18 inches inthe row. The autumn and winter varieties sow in April or early
in May, in shallow drills, 3 or 4 inches apart; transplant early in July, in rows 23 feet apart, and 2 feet
inarow. Cabbage succeeds best ina fresh, rich soil, well manured, and deeply dug or plowed. The
late plants are subject to attacks of the cabbage-fly, which destroys them as fast as they appear above
ground. Topreserve the plants, sprinkle them with wood ashes, air-slacked lime, plaster, slug-shot or
tobacco dust, early in the morning while the plants are wet with dew. One ounce of seed produces about.
thirty-five hundred piants.

Our Cabbage Seeds are of Unsurpassed Quality.

CARROT. (Maeire.)

The Horn Carrots are grown for early use and in shallow soils; in flavor they are more délicate tham
the medium and long varieties. ‘These last require deep soil, thoroughly enriched with old manure;
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 “hundr ed feet of drill; three to
four pounds to an acre.

CAULIFLOWER. (oun Kohl.)

Cauliflower is the most delicious of
the genus Brassica, and they succeed
weil in any soil where Cabbages will
grow. ‘They delight in a rich soiland
abundance of water. By sowing the
early varieties in a hot-bed in Febru-
ary or March, or later in a cold frame,
fine heads can be obtained quite early.
For a later supply, Sow seed in a pre-
pared bed in May, choosing a cool,
moist place. When large ~ enough,
transplant, making the rows about
two-and-a-half feet: apartand eighteen
inches between the plants. ‘Trans-
planting should be done in moist
weather, and in a dry time the crop
must be watered. The young plants
are frequently attacked by a little
black beetle; its ravages may be
stopped by frequent applications of
plaster, dusted on in the morning,
while the dew is on. One ounce of
seed produces about three thousand
plants. KRONK’S PERFECTION ERFURT.

CELERY. (Seleri.)

Celery is a native of England, and is found in its wild state in marshy places near the coast. Two
kinds are found, red and white, of both of which there are numerous garden varieties.

Culture. — Sow seeds in Macch or April, in a hot-bed or cold frame. As soon as the plants are three
inches high, transplant into a prepared border, setting them four inches apart. When grown six inches,
and fine stocky plants, set in richly manured, deep soil, in rows four feet apart, and about seven inches
from plant to plant. Water, if dry weather follows transplanting. During the next two months, all ihe
attention required is to keep down weeds. Afterwards earth up a little, and continue doing so at inter-

vals till only the tops of the Jeaves are visible late in autumn. Never hoe or earth ‘up when the plants
are wet. One ounce of seed produces about four thousand plants.

The Cucumber is a native of the East Indies, and was introduced into England in 1573, The varieties
now in use are great improvements on the original species. : f
Culture. — For very early use, seed may be started in heat and the plants set out in May. Pieces of
inverted 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. Make the hills rich with well-rotted
manure, and keep the young plants safe from the striped bug by dusting with dry plaster, or powdered
hellebore. Oneounce to fifty hills; two to three pounds to one acre.

MUSHROOM. (Agaricus Campestris. )

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. Befeore 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. Upona dry, firm bottom, proceed to make the bed, by spreading a thin layer of the
prepared mixture and poundit hard; go on till the bed is eightinches 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 putin each apiece 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 fresh loam, Over this place a few inches of straw. If the temperature is right, Mush-
rooms will appear in six to eight weeks from time of spawning. The bed will continue bearing
about amonth. After the first crop is 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 ata temperature of eighty to eighty-five degrees. One pound of English
Mushroom Spawn is sufficient for nine square feet of bed.

Mushroom Spawn, Farquhars’ Special English Milltrack. Made expressly for us by
the most successful Mushroom Specialist in England, and imported three times a year
to ensure its freshness.

Per pound, 15 cents; per 100 pounds, $12.00. Per pound by mail, 25 cents.

When in Europe recently, we ascertained that the leading English growers almost invariably pur-
chased their spawn of a noted manufacturer whose spawn never failed, under proper conditions. We
have arranged for a regular supply of the same fine quality.

ONION. (Wiebel.)

The Onion has been cultivated as an article of food from
the earliest times, and at the present ‘day is perhaps more
universally grown than any other vegetable. 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 matter if the weather is cold and un-
pleasant. Sow in drills one foot apart, and cover about one-
third of an inch, treading or rolling after sowing, so that
the hot, dry atmosphere may notdry up and destroy the
sprouting seed. When three inches high, thin to two inches
apart. Stir the ground freely without disturbing the young
plants, and keep free from weeds. One ounce to one hun-
dred feet of drill; four to five pounds per acre.

California grown Onion seed is freely offered in
our markets at alow price. We avoid it altogether,
as it is almost worthless in this climate. Our Onion
seed is grown from selected bulbs, and is of finest
quality in every respect.

PEAS. (£rbse.)

No variety of vegetable receives more of our care in selecting than Peas. We make contracts annu-
ally for hundreds of bushels of the leading sorts, with growers of reliability and experience, who raise
our supplies from the finest and most carefully selected seed stocks in the country. We cordially invite
elowcts for market, and all others, to call and examine our stocks when in need of true, pure, and fresh
seed peas.

Culture. —A light soil, moderately rich, should be selected for the early varieties, and old decom-
posed manure, or leaf-mould should be scattered along the bottom of the drill and covered lightly with
fine earth, so that the seed may not come in direct contact with the fertilizer. 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, wr inkled varieties. Sow Peas in drills and cover not less
than four inches. For the lowest sorts the drills should be two feet apart ; those growing taller should
be three or four feet apart, according to height. When grown for private use, Peas should be staked
with brush, except the very dwarf-growing varieties. One quart to one hundred feet of drill; one and a
half bushels sows one acré in drills.

Special inducements offered to buyers in large quantities for market.

POTATOES. ( Kartoffel.)

Prices subject to variations of the Market.

The Potato is found indigenous in South America, and was first introduced to cultivation in Cork,
Ireland, in the year 1586. A good sandy loam produces the best potatoes, but they can be grown on soils
of all kinds. New land, or pasture land with the turf freshly turned, produces the finest crop. Make
furrows of good depth, three feet apart. Scatter a liberal dressing of phosphate, or very decayed stable
manure along the drill, and set the seed about ten inches apart in the rows. Very small Potatoes
should not be used for seed. Largetubers may be cut in two or three pieces, leaving only one or two eyes
oneach. Cover with about two inches of soil, and begin to cultivate when -the plants are well up.
At each successive hoeing, bring additional soil about the plants. A change of seed is the best antidote
for disease. About nine bushels are required to plant one acre in drills.

TOMATO. (Liebes Apfel.)

This is a native of South America. Nearly all of our choice varieties are of recent origin. The seed
should be sown thinly, about the first week in March, in a hot-bed, greenhouse, or inside the window or
sitting-room, where the temperature is never below sixty degrees. When the plants are about two
inches high, set out in boxes, three inches deep, four inches apart, in the same temperature, or pot singly.
If again transplanted before setting out, the plants will be still more stocky. Set out in the open ground
about the first of June, four feet apart each way, using a Shovelful of rotted manure in each hill, Choose
a sunny knoll and light sandy loam for early Tomatoes. If the vines are trained on a trellis, the fruit
will be finer in every respect. One ounce will produce over two thousand plants; two ounces will give

plants enougly for one acre.

We annually furnish seed for the parks and gardens of Boston, and ship large quantities to Newport and
other summer resorts.

Special quotations given on application for large quantities; also for mixtures of Grasses

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS ON MAKING LAWNS.

The popular notion that ‘‘ grass grows anywhere”’ isincorrect; the soil must be made suitable if not
naturally so. Before seeding, the ground must be well drained, heavily manured, and made fine and
friable by spade or plough, and harrow or rake, as the extent of the lawn or convenience renders best.
This part of the work is finished by the use of a heavy roller. We have proved that pure crushed bone,
or animal fertilizer containing bone and potash, are the best fertilizers to use, supplying the elements
required to give arobust and fine stocky growth, and the lawn a lasting deep-green color. An applica-
tion of four hundred or five hundred pounds per acre will generally be sufficient. So many noxious
weeds are introduced into the ground with barnyard manure that its use is not reeommended.

Seeding.—It is a well-established fact that the most lasting and finest lawns result from seeding
and not from sodding. Theseed may besown either in spring or fall. The ground being, we will sup-
pose, already well prepared and rolled previous to sowing, should be gone over with a fine rake, the seed
then evenly scattered over the surface at the rate of four bushels per acre; the whole should then be
raked or bushed in, and again rolled.

Good, Clean, Fresh Seed is a most important consideration in lawn-making. “ Grass,’’ says
Professor Martyn, ‘‘ vulgarly forms one single idea. Nota few areignorant of the fact that when over-
looking a field of grass, thirty or forty varieties may bein view.’’ The varieties which our experience
has taught us are best adapted to successfully meet the peculiarities of our climate, compose our mixture.
These hardy, compact-growing sorts, Sown with due care, produce a fine, close, velvety turf, which, with
little attention, will continue beautitul for many years.

After Treatment.—When the young grass has attained the height of three inches, it should be cut
with a sharp scythe. Nothing retards the after-growth more than too early cutting, or foo close crop-
ping of the first shoots in spring. During summer a lawn should be cut every week or ten days with a
lawn mower, except during dry weather; frequent mowings, and rollings are necessary to keep a grass-
ot in good condition. In the fallor early spring, some good fertilizer should be applied as a top-

ressing.

MornWee requiring improvement, it is only necessary to sow our seed at the rate of a bushel per acre.

Grasses for Pastures: Meadows.

Containing only the most suitable Grasses and Clovers, the proportionate quantity of each being
regulated by the soil, situation and particular purpose for which they are sown. Theobject to be
attained is a constant, successive growth of rich pasturage from spring till fall. A selectionof grasses
can be made which attain perfection at alternate months from April to September. In sowing the right
varieties, mixed in correct proportion for permanent pastures, the results are far more profitable and
satisfactory than if the old method of seeding withtwo or three varieties is followed.

Customers in ordering, will please state whether the soil is light, mediwm, or heavy; or 7 the
situation is shaded.

Finest Mixtures for Permanent Pastures and Meadow Lands. Specially put up for
any soil, or location indicated. Per bushel, $2.00.

PRIMULA SINENSIS, FARQUHARS’ STRAIN.

PRIMULA SINENSIS.
(Chinese Primrose.)

Our strains of these noble flowers are the
finest in cultivation, and their excellence is
acknowledged by hundreds of the most criti-
cal gardeners and florists all over the coun-
try, who purchase regularly of us.

Owing to our personal acquaintance with ex-
hibitors and growers in Europe, we are enable«l to
engage our supplies from these specialists annu-
ally, who reserve their seeds for us.

The Primula Sinensis are among the best
flowers for house or greenhouse. Seeds may be
sown in spring or autumn, in gentle heat; trans-

| plant singly, when large enough, and re-pot as they

grow. The soil should be sandy loam and peat,
enriched with a little decayed cow-manure, and
kept open with small nodules of charcoal. Tender
perennials.

910 Finest Mixed, Our Special Strain.
Saved from the finest, fringed, most
select flowers; large in size, rich and
varied in color; of great substance and

SWEET PEAS.

The Sweet Pea, Lathyr us Odoratus, is one of
the most charmingly beautiful, frag rant, climbing
annuals. The flowers are of the brightest colors
and excellent for bouquets.

Sweet Peas should be sown very early, in rich,
well-worked soil. Make the drill six inches deep.
and after sowing. cover oniy about one inch. Fill
in the earth as they grow until the drill is filled,

carefully avoiding covering the young plants.
They delight in a sunny situation, with plenty of
moisture.

We have a particularly fine strain of
Sweet Peas. grown specially for us in Kent,
Emgland. The seed is so thoroughly ripened,
so large and fully rounded, that the flowers
produced are more abundant, larger amd far
more beautiful, than those grcown from the
sun-shrivelled, continental seed. We have
received from customers many commenda-
tions of our Kent-Grown Sweet Peas. ~

1036 Cheicest Mixed, Kenit-Grown. For
this extra mixture we import the
brightest and best varieties separately
and mix them ourselves. Quality un-

This well-known and popular tool, though acknowledged for years past to be the best in
the market, has striking improvements. Chief among these are the Lever Wheel, a neces-
sity for particular work; the patent Lever Expander, changing the width instantly; and
Handle Adjustment for height, and also sidewise for use in grapes, pole beans, blackberries,

able and adjustable Hollow Steel standards, reversible blades, sieeved bolt holes, ete. As a
Horse Hoe with side teeth reversed it cuts close to the row without injury to the roots, leav-

teeth cut off and turn over the weeds in the most perfect style. As a filler, the side teeth
work in combination with the rear shovel to perfection.

Tiger Hay Rakes were in use in 1888, and not one of these has ever failed to dc its work under any circum-
stances or condition of Crop. In localities where this Rake is most numerous the demand is the greatest.
Descriptive circular mailed on application. Please examine the Rake before purchasing. Manufacturers’
price, $32.00. hh. & J. Varquhar & Co.’s price, $25.00.

The ‘best six-fork Tedder in the market. It has two levers, one for raising and lowering the frame, and
the other for throwing in and out of gear; both can be readily used by the driver from his seat. Its greatest
point os superiority over other Tedders is in its having kicker-forks outside the wheel; thus it never treads
down grass on the course that it has finished; does its work very thoroughly, and is operated very easily.

Neponset Waterproof Flower Pots

UNBREAKABLE. VERY HANDSOME. INSECT-PROOF.
LIGHT. CLEAN. CHEAP.

R.&wJ. Farquhar & Go., Sole Agents for New England.

‘¢ NEPONSET’”’ FLOWER Ports are made from the well known ‘* NEPONSET”
water proof fabric.

They are manufactured from specially prepared fabric which improves with
age, and gives them all the necessary rigidity and is absolutely unbreakable.

They are made so as to give ample drainage and allow plenty of air to the
roots of the plants. They are very ligh? in weight, and nest closely for shipment,
so that an immense saving is effected in the cost of freight alone, as well as in
the labor of handling.

As a shipping and marketing poi hey ave preferred by buyers to all others,
on account of their being unbreakable, light, and clean.

Growers who have been in the habit of shipping in clay pots, and know the
loss entailed by breakage and freight charges will appreciate the immense saving
insured by using ‘*‘ Neponser,” and those who have hitherto wrapped plants in
paper will find that the loss of time and labor in so doing will more than pay for
‘¢ Neponset” Pots, to say nothing of the clean, neat, and handsome appearance
which their use insures. Plants can be marketed safely and kept in perfect con-
dition while in these pots.

The smaller sizes are specially adapted for growing slips, cuttings, and young
plants, as these can be shipped and marketed in the pots in which they have been
grown, and reach the consumer healthy and uninjured.

They make an excellent covering for Earthenware pots, as they will not
become mouldy, and are always clean to handle and handsome in appearance.

We make them of handsome terra cotta color, in the standard sizes of the
Association of American Florists.
