INTRODUCTORY. O OUR FRIENDS AND PATRONS, GREETING: We once again present you with a copy of our NEw CaTALOGUE, and look forward to a continuance of that favor and confidence which you have kindly bestowed upon us in the past. Now, as ever, you will find us RELIABLE, and our seeds what they are universally acknowledged to be—THE PUREST, THE SUREST and THE BEST. The present edition has been carefully revised and enlarged, and many new and improved varieties of seeds included. The favor with which our seeds and bulbs are everywhere received by leading horti- culturists is due solely to the successful results obtained from them; for reliability and excel- lence they are the acknowledged standard in this section. Quality with us is always of first importance, and especial care has been bestowed. on growing and testing the varieties catalogued. We annually receive numerous commendatory letters similar to the following : Dear Sirs,—I have sent to you for my seeds every year since you commenced business, and they have invariably been of the best quality. I have noticed that some of my neighbors who have been tempted to order elsewhere, from some large, showy catalogue, have had bad failures.. My experience with your seeds has been exceedingly satisfactory. [Signed] 1D Pease ANOn Nov. 26, 1894. Superintendent for Flon. E£. S. Converse, Malden, Mass. We solicit a trial order from new customers who are alive to the importance of planting fresh seeds direct from the grower and free from adulteration of any kind. In doing so, we may say that our goods can only be obtained direct from us in Boston. They are not for sale in stores, nor do we employ agents. | We would refer those who are not acquainted with us to any experienced gardener, florist, or market gardener of repute in New England, nearly all of whom rely on us for their supplies year after year. Our personal attention to orders and our extensive practical experience as growers enable us to give intelligent service to our patrons; and, if from any cause, seeds supplied by us prove defective, we hold ourselves ready, if immediately informed, to refill the order gratis, with other seeds; and here we limit our responsibility,—we do not warrant our seeds, bulbs, etc., in anyrespect. We are not accountable for want of due care, bad weather, etc., 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. Careful tests of our Seeds are made in our own hot-houses, so as to ascertain germinat- ing quality. We await the favor of your orders, and beg to assure you of the appreciation of your patronage. (1) 2 ; R. & J. FARQUHAR GCOS (SHIELD ICA TALOGULZ | SEEDS POST-PAID BY MAIL. We send seeds /vee of postage to any part of the United States at ounce or packet prices. All heavy seeds, such as peas, beans, corn, clover, roots, tubers, etc., we do not send free, as such are quoted at net prices at our store. If these are desired by mail, purchasers are requested to remit an additional sum for postage at the rate of eight cents per pound or fifteen cents per quart. We bestow great care in parceling mail orders, and send thousands of them every year. Write Orders Upon the Blank Form Sent. No matter how small the order, cus- tomers will please use and return the whole blank. This greatly facilitates our work. More blanks will be supplied, if needed. | Please Send Orders Early. It is very important that you send your orders as early as possible on receipt of this catalogue. Delay at the sowing season is thereby prevented. _ Prices, Terms, Etc. As prices of some varieties of seeds will doubtless vary during the year we beg to assure purchasers that ours shall be at all times as low as any for seeds of like good quality. Quotations, with samples, will be cheerfully given for such variable articles as grass and clover seeds, onion sets, etc. Our terms of payment are net cash. Liberal Premium on Seeds in Packets. When the order is accompanied by the money, purchasers of seeds in packets at catalogue prices may select 25 cents worth extra packets for each $1.00 sent. Thus, any one enclosing $1.00 may order seeds in packets amounting to $1.25. Two dollars sent us with the order will pay for seeds in packets amounting to $2.50, and so on. ‘This offer does not include seeds in collections, by weight or measure, bulbs, plants, or anything excepting seeds in packets. Seeds by Weight and Measure. Except where otherwise priced, one-fourth bushel will be sold at bushel rates; one-half pound at pound rates; fifty at one hundred rates. The smallest quantity of seeds we weigh is ro cents value, but 5-cent fackets of almost all common varieties can be had. | Cloth Bags, used in packing, are charged at the following rates: 44 bushel, eight cents; ¥% bushel, ten cents; 1 bushel, fifteen cents ; 2 bushels, twenty cents. If returned, clean, and in good condition, and free of expense, they will be credited as charged. In remitting for seeds by the peck and over, please add a sum to cover cost of the necessary bags. Situations for Gardeners and Farmers. Parties requiring the services of reliable men, married or single, will do well to consult with us, as we have the names of a number on our register, thoroughly experienced in every branch of the business. No compensation is received for our services as we are glad to help our customers when in want of foremen, assist- ants, etc. We Bene by far the largest acquaintance among gardeners of any firm in New England, and it is very seldom that any gentleman or lady who applies to us fails of getting the right party. Kindly send us a list of your friends who use Seeds and Bulbs, and we will be pleased to mail them our Catalogues. Our new Bulb Catalogue will be ready in September, and as we select our Bulbs personally in Europe, customers may rely on their excellence.

(Spargel.) This is one of our most delicious vegetables, and when proper care is taken in making the beds and setting the plants, they will continue pro- ,. ductive for many years. 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 Z the top of the plants being covered six inches. Plants, either one or two years old, may be purchased in spring, or may be produced from seed sown . in drills one inch deep and a foot apart. Set the plants eighteen inches apart in the rows, carefully spreading out and separating the roots. For the sake of convenience, one drill should be made at a 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. Ove ounce of seed sows sixty Jeet of drill. MOORE’S GIANT CROSS-BRED ASPARAGUS. Pkt. Oz. Lb.

The Caulifiower is the most delicious of all Byvassécas, and succeeds well in any soil where cabbages will grow. It delights in a rich soil and abundance of water. By sowing the early varieties in a hot-bed in February or March, or later in a cold frame, fine heads can be obtained quite early. For a later supply, sow seed in a prepared bed in May, choosing a cool, moist place. When large enough, transplant, making the rows about two-and-a-half feet apart and eighteen inches between the plants. Transplanting should be done in moist weather. In dry seasons 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 in the morning while the dew is on. For the cabbage-worm, apply Dalmatian Insect Powder. Ove ounce of seed produces about three thousand plants. Farquhars’ Earliest Dwarf Erfurt. The earliest, whitest, surest-heading and finest strain of cauliflower. The heads are very solid, large, and finely formed. The plants are dwarf with short outer leaves, permitting close planting.

' LETTUCE (Lattich Saiat,) The Lettuce is the best vegetable of the salad kind grown in the open air. It thrives best in a light, very rich, moist soil, with a dry substratum, but does well in a common garden soil enriched with rotted manure. For first crop sow in gentle heat in February, and trans- plant to ten inches apart. For a summer supply, sow thinly in shallow drills, eighteen inches apart, and transplant, or thin out, leaving a foot between the plants. Sowings may be made from April to the end of August. One ounce of seed gives about four thousand plants. We make a specialty of the varieties of Lettuce grown in the vicinity of Boston, and the seed of these we offer is all home- -grown, and saved with the utmost care.

FARQUHAR & cols SHED ICATALOGCE: 13 MUSHROOM. (Agaricus Campestris.) CULTURE. 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 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 firm till the bed is eight inches thick. Leave it thus for about a week, or till the tempera- ture 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 ten days. Then cover with 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. /7 The bed will continue bearifg about a month. 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 at a temperature of eighty to eighty-five degrees. Ove pound of English Mushroom Spawn ts sufficient for nine square Jeet of bed. The following works on the Mushroom will be mailed post-paid on receipt of price. Both are excellent authorities on the subject, and give plain and full directions : Mushroom Culture. By Robinson, 70 cents. How To Grow Mushrooms. By Wm.Falconer, $1.40.

In very rich soils the hills should be six feet apart; in poor soil, about five feet. Before planting the seed mix a peck of rotted manure with the soil in each hill. About the middle of May, plant the seeds half an inch deep—six or eight in each hill. When the plants are well up, thin out, leaving three to a hill.

Use well-rotted manure freely, and get the crop in as early as s possible in spring, even though the weather be 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 atmosphere may not destroy the sprcuting seed.

QUHARS MARKET Early Round. Grown in shallow soils. Pkt., 05,3 OZ., 105 lb., .60 MODEL PARSNIP. PEAS. (Erbse.) A light soil, moderately rich, should be selected for the early varieties, and old, decomposed manure or leaf-mold 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 and smooth-seeded. They are very hardy, and should be sown as early as possible in spring; later sowings of the fine, sweet, wrinkled vari- eties should follow. 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. Owe quart to one hundred feet of drill; one and one-half bushels sows one acre in drills. No vegetable receives more of our care than Peas. Wecontract annually 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, and we frequently inspect the growing crops. We cordially invite growers for market and all others to call and examine ours when in need of true, pure and fresh seed Peas. Special prices quoted to buyers tn large quantities for market.

A good, sandy loam produces the best potatoes, but they can be grown on all kinds of soil. New 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 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. Large tubers may be cut in two or three pieces, leaving only one or two eyes on each. 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. Nine bushels are sufficient to plant one acre in drills. By mail three pounds of any of the undernoted sorts for $1.00. Peck. Bush. Pearl of Savoy.

We have the honor of supplying Cyclamen and other fine flower seeds for the gardens of the Executive Mansion, Washington, D.C. At the WORLD’S COLUIIBIAN EXPOSITION, Chicago, we were awarded both grand Medal and Diploma. ‘Garden and Forest,’’ in commenting on the Exhibition of Cyclamen Plants at the World’s Fair, at which specialists from all over the world had exhibits in competition, says: “ The exhibit of R. & J. Farquhar & Company, Boston, is one of the lurgest and makes the best impression as awhole. Their Mont Blanc Cyclamen 7s the finest white in the Exhibition, if not the best of any strain. The contrast was great between the small-flowering type (of other exhibitors) and the large flowers in the exhibition of R. & J. Farquhar & Company.” From Nahant, Mass., a customer says: L write to inform you that Iam much pleased with the Cyclamen I purchased from you last year. The flowers are large, of very fine form, and are the admiration of all who see them.

Our strains of these beautiful flowers are the finestin culti- vation and are celebrated throughout the entire country. The flowers are large, of great substance, and of the most beautiful colors and shades. Hundreds of the most crit- ical gardeners and florists in the land rely on us an= nually for their supplies. A customer, writing from Brookline, Mass., January 8th, says: Dear Sirs: The Primulas from last year’s seed have been mag- nificent —zot one of the Alba Magnifica from two, fifty-cent packets but was trueto name, and from the same quantity of Chiswick Red, only one not true, and that was a good pink. I wish you could have seen then. SiS N= Our personal acquaintance with noted growers in Europe en- ables us to secure our supplies at first hands from these specialists. The Chinese Primrose is one of the best plants for house and green- house culture. The seed may be sown in spring or autumn, in gentle heat. Transplant singly when large enough, and re-pot as the young plants grow. A mixture of sandy loam, peat and de- cayed cow manure, suits them best.

This is the whole of the seed we have raised, so that you have all the stock. Crosby Bros., by Walter Crosby. As many gardeners know to their loss, there is a great deal of Celery seed sold for Boston Market which is worthless, producing a stringy, coarse and untrue crop. By arrangement with Mr. Crosby we offer seed raised on the original farm where the first Boston Market Celery was grown many years ago. Its purity and fine quality may therefore be relied upon. Celery is an important crop; and as an ounce of seed produces several thousand plants, this, the best, will prove to be the cheapest. Ounce, .60; liberal packet, .1o. ea COX’S IMPROVED STRATAGEM PEA. The Stratagem Pea is well-kuown as one of the best. During the past three or four years however, the variety has run out to some extent. The grower of this Improved Stock has been carefully working upon the original, and the seed now offered is the result of his persistent care and labor. It is claimed that the yield is much greater; the pods, which are full and of immense size, almost covering the plants. For fine quality this Pea is unsurpassed.

So hardy and vigorous that it may be safely planted in early spring with any smooth variety, and counted on for table use almost as soon, while the quality is far superior. Pods large, with from seven to nine peas to a pod. Very tender, and fine flavored. -An extensive market gardener writes: “ They are certainly the earliest wrinkled pea I have ever ratsed,and T have tried nearly all the different kinds.” They are a very distinct variety, early, hardy, productive, and of extra fine quality.

A trial will convince growers of its great superiority to any Spawn elsewhere obtainable. Pound, -I2; 50 pounds, 5.00; 100 pounds, 9.00. By mail, pound, .25. MONARCH RHUBARB; PLANTS. The great popularity and value of this variety has led to many counterfeits. We offer plants raised from our original imported stock which are absolutely true. Regarding this fine Rhubarb we submit the following: The Rural New Yorker says of the Monarch Rhubarb: “ Roots of this were received from R. & J. Farquhar & Co., of Boston, in early spring. The stems are now at least six inches tn circumference, by far the largest we remember to have noticed from spring set roots.” W. J. Borland, St. Johnsbury, Vt., writes: “ The Monarch Rhubarb is extraordinary large, very tender and juicy. Jt was the admiration of all who saw it. Ina word, tt ts the largest and finest [ have ever grown.” The Monarch has been awarded First Prize over all other varieties for several years at Exhibitions of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society; twelve stalks shown on one occasion weighing twenty-eight pounds, leaves off. The stalks are rather short, but very broad and thick, and in flavor superior to any variety known. The stalks do not grow more than about fifteen inches long but are exormously thick, succulent and juicy. Plants, each, .50; doz., 5.00. By mail, .60 each. PEDIGREE DWARE CHAMPION TOPIATO.

Very large, perfect deuble flowers ; remarkably productive, exquisitely fragrant, and of hardy constitution. We have pleasure in offering to our friends this fine New Violet, which we have grown sufficiently long to test fully. We can recommend it with every confidence. The Farquhar Violet is of healthy and vigorous habit of growth; producing in great abundance its beautiful dark-blue flowers, of a size and substance far in advance of any variety now in cultivation. We recom- mend it to every one who grows this popular flower, whether for profit or pleasure. The opinions of some of the best flower judges in this vicinity are appended. These gentlemen have, in most cases, seen the Violet growing in our greenhouses, and are, therefore, able to judge of its merits. The editor of Gardening, March 1, 1894, says : — “ Wr. Farquhar, of Boston, exhibited a bunch of uncommonly fine double Violets defore the Massachu- setts Horticultural Society, on the 17th ult. The flowers were fully larger than those of Lady Hume Campbell which were staged alongside of the new variety for comparison’s sake, and very much darker; they were a/so deliciously fragrant. Mr. Farquhar claims for it an extra strong constitution and blooming well under difficulties the common Violets do not easily surmount.” Mr. Robert Cameron, Superintendent of Harvard University Botanic Gardens, writes : — “ Dear Mr. Farquhar,— Your new Violet, as I have seen it, is avery robust grower, and produces in great profusion very large flowers, upon extra long, stout stems. The flowers are of good color and deliciously fragrant. It has a much hardier nature than Marie Louise; both grown in the same bench, your new Violet is more robust and produces more flowers.” Mr. George A. Sutherland, the well-known Florist, Bromfield Street, Boston, says : — “T have pleasure in certifying that I have carefully compared the New Farquhar Violet w7tz Lady Hume Campbell and Marie Louise, growing side by side. The two latter were badly diseased, while the Farquhar was perfectly healthy, wth fine foliage and an abundance of large and beautiful bloom. I(t is the finest Violet | have ever seen, and is sure to displace all other varieties when known.’’ Plants, each, .15; by mail, .20. Doz., 1.50; by mail, 1.85. 100, 10.00.

A book which every one with a garden should own. This admirable publication is a new, revised and greatly enlarged edition of Johnson’s Gardener’s Dictionary, first published in 1846; containing a full and reliable list of every plant in cultivation, names printed in bold type, rendering references easy. An important feature of the work is the placing of synonyms alongside the correct name, instead of in a separate list. The habitat of ~ each variety is given along with the date of its introduction. The cultural directions are brief and to the point. Insect foes, diseases and their remedies are fully described, and figures of some of the former have been given. The Dictionary is a large, handsomely bound volume. Price, post-paid, 4.00. C. L. ALLEN’S NEW BOOK ON BULBS. This is the most practical, inexpensive work on Bulbs and Tuberous-rooted plants we have seen. It gives their history, description, methods of propagation, and complete directions for their successful culture in the garden, dwelling and greenhouse. Handsomely illustrated, cloth, 12mo. Price, post-paid, 2.00. HORTICULTURAL PERIODICALS. We recommend the following named publications with the utmost confidence to all who are interested in matters of which they treat.

The demand for Fresh, Weedless Grass Seeds has increased to such an extent that we have made the preparation of the finest quality of Lawn Seeds a leading specialty. Nowhere can finer or cleaner Grass Seeds be obtained, and dealing so exten- Sively in them, we give purchasers the very best value. Our Mr. James Farquhar has successfully prepared many acres of ground for lawns, and knows the work thoroughly from start to finish. His experience as Superintending Gardener for many years at Forest Hills Cemetery, and in other important positions of a like nature, has given him a practical knowledge which is not without value to our customers. His advice is at all times cheerfully and freely given, and his valuable formulas are followed in our Grass Seed Department. We take care to furnish Lawn Grass Seed in which there are no weed seeds of any kind. Weeds may appear in carefully seeded grounds, as the wind carries their seeds everywhere, BUT THEY SHOULD NOT BE SOWN. None of our seeds are more carefully tested and selected than our various grasses, and we carry a large stock of all useful varieties. Inquiry amongst leading Landscape Gardeners and other competent authorities throughout New England will satisfy enquirers as to the character of our stocks. We respectfully invite inspection of samples. SEE PAGES 22, 23 AND 24 FOR FULL PARTICULARS AND PRICES.
