Please notice below the liberal Discounts and Premiums given on orders for Seeds, We
propose this year to give a discount or premium on every order received, whether large or
small. We make allowances for the hard times, and intend to give to our customers all we
possibly can for their money.

It is well understood that the expenses of conducting a business must be paid by a man's
customers, and when his expenses are heavy, his prices must be correspondingly high, We
keep our expenses down to the lowest limit possible, consistent with a ready dispatch of busi-{)
ness, and give to our customers the benefit of our economy.

Instead of spending thousands of dollars on a fancy catalogue, with exaggerated illustra- |
tions, that deceive and mislead the unwary, we publish a modest catalogue, with only such}
illustrations as will be helpful in making an intelligent choice of varieties. Our Seed House
is on our farm, which saves rent and other expenses incident to a business in the city.
departments of our business are conducted with strict economy, which enables us to deal
move liberally with our customers. ;

We know our seeds are as good as can be grown, and we give our customers the very dest
in quality, as well as the dargest in guantity for the money received. Our seed packets contain}|
more seed than is usually put into packets by other seedsmen, and we know they will satisfy
every customer. In proof of this statement, read the following :

What You Should Kemember.

Postage and Express Charges on Seeds PREPAID.

That the prices in this Catalogue include the Postage and Express Charges on all seeds by
the packet, ounce, pound and quart, and that they will be sent to any part of the United States
at the prices named, postage or capress charges PREPAID. When ordered by the peck, bushel or barrel,
the freight or express charges must be paid by the purchaser.

That my seeds are sold under THREE GUARANTEES :

First—That al) money sent to me for seeds shall reach me safely, when sent as directed below.

SrconpD—That the seed ordered shall reach every customer in good order. If a package fails to reach a
customer, or a part of it is lost, I will refill the order for the amount lost without further charge. I assume
all the risk of the money reaching me, and of the seeds reaching my customers, when sent by mail or
express—making the purchase of seeds as safe as it is possible for a business transaction to be. When sent
as freight the Railroad Company is responsible.

THIRD—That my seeds shall be as represented, in so far as that I will refill the order in other seeds
without charge, or refund the money paid for them, if they should prove otherwise than as represented.
Under this guarantee I cannot afford to send out poor seed. But in no case do I guarantee the crop. A
correspondent says: ‘‘ The best seed that was ever grown will not give a large yield if it is put into an
exhausted or a poorly prepared soil, or if from any reason it does not have a fair chance for germination
and development.’’ I do not, therefore, sell any seeds with any guarantee concerning the crop, either

express or implied.
OUR SEEDS ARE ALL TESTED BEFORE SENT OUT.

That we make an actual test of all our seeds before sending out, not by the usual custom of sprouting
seeds in damp cloths or cotton, but by sowing in the earth—the only reliable way of testing seeds. In some
cases where our own stock of seed did not hold out through the season and we have been obliged to buy a
supply, we have thrown away the whole purchase, because they would not test satisfactorily. But we
prefer to do this rather than send out seed of doubtful vitality.

-NO SEEDS ON COPIMISSION.

That we do not send our seeds in commission boxes and take back the unsold seed. We cannot do this
and keep our stock of seeds fresh and reliable. But we do allow a very liberal commission to parties who
sell our seeds. We furnish sample packets of Seeds, Catalogues and Order Sheets ; they take orders for our
seeds and we fill the orders as fast as sent in, and give them a very liberal cash commission for getting the
orders. Terms made known on application.

HOW TO SEND THE MONEY.

Money sent to me for seeds may be sent at my risk and expense, when sent in any
of the following ways:

All sums of $1.00 or over, by Post-Office or Express Money Order, Draft on New York, or Cash in a
Registered Letter.

Postal Notes are abolished, but Post-Office Money Orders can now be obtained at any Money Order
Office, for three cents: and upwards, according to the amount of the order.

Sums of less than one dollar may be sent in stamps without registering the letter.

If you send a check on your local bank please add 15 cents, the cost of collecting.

If a customer sends more money than is enough to pay for theseeds ordered, the balance will be returned;
if less than enough, the order will be filled for as much as the money will pay for.

Qs" When sending an order, don’t forget to sign your NAME, PosT-OFFICE, CoUNTY, and STATE,
PLAINLY. Also, give your nearest Express Office, and the name of the Express Company. I can send
many of my seeds cheaper by express than by mail. Address,

SeeGiAL OFFERS ON SEED POTATOES.
CHOICE SEED POTATOES 25 CENTS PER BAG.

To enable our customers to get the new varieties of Potatoes at small cost, we put up our best Seed
Potatoes in cloth bags, holding four quarts each, packed in bran and correctly labeled. These bags,
one, or any number, we sell for 25c. each. All the varieties in this Catalogue, see page 24, are put up in these
bags, and only one variety in a bag.

Last year we had many orders to send these bags by mail, which of course we could not do. One or
more bags can be sent by express, but when several bags are ordered a better way is to box them and send
as freight. We frequently send them by freight with other seeds. At the price we ask for the bags we
cannot afford to pay express charges on them, but when eight bags or more are ordered to be sent to one
address we will send by freight and prepay the freight.

THREE OR FIVE POUNDS FOR 75 CENTS,

Those wishing only single pounds to try the new varieties can do so at very little expense.

For 75 cents I will send by mail prepaid, one pound each of any three varieties of your own selection ;
or one pound each of any five varieties if sent at the expense of the person sending the order. Each variety
will be boxed and correctly labeled.

I hope these liberal offers will induce very many to make trials of the new varieties of potatoes which

they have not heretofore grown. Every potato grower should not fail to send for the American Wonder and
Early Puritan Potatoes. Other varieties are valuable but these are indispensable.

- WHAT YOU OUGHT TO KNow.

WHY TY SEEDS ARE ENTITLED TO YOUR CONFIDENCE.

Pirst—They are GROWN FROM GOOD STOCK. Every gardener of experience knows that for seeds to produce
the best results, they must be grown from pure and high-grade stock. Seeds grown from poor and mixed
stocks can never give satisfaction to those who know what good vegetables should be. But good stocks
for seed-growing cannot be secured without careful and repeated selections of the best types of the different
varieties. This I have been doing for years, even before I grew seed for the public, when I had in view only
the improvement of my own crops. Asa Market Gardener, I found that much of the seed I bought could
not be depended upon, and I commenced growing seed for my own use. My neighbors and friends soon
wanted my surplus seed, and from that beginning my business has extended till it now reaches nearly every
part of the country.

In raising seed, we never use the whole crop as grown. Only the best is used for growing seed. Though
Wwe may set out hundreds of bushels of onions for seed, EVERY ONION IS HAND-PICKED; every cabbage head
for seed is carefully selected in the field where grown; only the best and purest types of beets are used for
seed ; and the same can be said of all my other seeds. The result is, that my strains of onions, cabbages,
beets, carrots, etc., are not excelled by any grown anywhere.

Second—Many of my seeds are water-cleaned. What I mean by this is explained below.

Third—MY SEEDS ARE NORTHERN GROWN. ‘The one thing that is of importance, above almost
everything else, to market gardeners is, to get their products into the market ahead of their neighbors, It
is the first cabbage, the first tomatoes, the first peas, and the first corn and potatoes that bring big prices
and pay large profits. To secure these first crops, gardeners must have seeds that will mature a crop
quickly. ‘The only seeds that will do this, are those that have been grown and matured in a short:season.
Like produces like. This is why NORTHERN GROWN SEEDS will produce earlier crops than seeds grown
further South, where the season of growth is longer. This holds good with nearly all kinds of seeds, and
is one of the reasons why my seeds have given such general satisfaction to professional gardeners.

WATER-CLEANED SEEDS.

We do not mean that all the seed we sell is water-cleaned ; with some varieties that cannot be done.
But we mean that not only are all our tomato and vine seeds water-cleaned, but that all the onion seed of
our own growing, and part of our cabbage, carrot and other seeds are cleaned by washing in water. This
is seldom done by seedsmen, because it is both troublesome and expensive. After onion seed has been
cleaned by the fanning-mill in the usual way, from 5 to 10 per cent. of light and half-filled seed will float
and be lost in the process of washing. Then it must be thoroughly dried, which takes time, and_adds to
the cost of the seed. But it is the only way to get rid of the light, half-filled seed, and secure seed that is
sure to grow.

Mr. Chas. B. Vaughn, who used my onion seed a number of years, said of it: ‘‘ When I sow seed that
has been water-cleaned J am sure it is going to grow; but when it has not been water-cleaned I am not

sure of it.’’
HOW TO SOW THE SEED.

The first and one of the most important things to be done towards securing a guod crop is to sow or
plant our seed in such a manner, and at such a time, that it may have a reasonable chance to grow. Seeds
must be sown shallow or deep, according to their size and ability to push up through the soil. Small seeds
are very apt to be sown too deep. If small seeds, like cellery, lettuce, etc., were sown as deep as onion and
beet seed, very few would ever appear above the ground. Seasons differ; what would be safe in one season,
might prove a failure in a season when the condition of the soil or of the atmosphere were different. When
the conditions are favorable, I have had onion seed come up in eight days ; but when too dry and hot, or too
cold and wet, it will be in the ground thirty days before coming up. When it is dry and hot, cucumbers,
melons and squashes may fail entirely, unless the soil is made firm over the seed (See “ Firming the Soil’’),
and there is danger that all vine seed may rot if planted when the ground is cold and wet. {

Some seeds are hardy and can be sown as soon as the frost is out of the ground and is dry enough to
work, while others are tender and will rot if put in the ground before it becomes warm.

The following seeds may be safely sown early in the Spring, as soon as the ground becomes dry and
settled, in this latitude (43 deg.) during the month of April. ee.
Cabbage. Cauliflower, Lettuce Parsnip Peas, ® Spinach,
Beet, ; Carrot, Celery, Onion, ” Parsley, Turnip.

The following should not he sown wntil the ground has become dry and warm. Thermometer in the
shade averaging 60 deg.; in this latitnde not before the middle of May. :

Beans, Sweet Corn, Cucumber, Melons, Okra, Pumpkin, Squash.

Lima Beans and Winter Squashes are especially liable to rot if pianted before the ground has become
dry and warm. ; ;

Tomatoes, Peppers and Egg Plant should be started early, in a hot-bed or in a box in the house.

One of the most essential and yet the most neglected thing in connection with seed-sowing is

FIRMING THE SOIL

WHAT YOU OUGHT TO KNOW. 5

MANURE,

It is a waste of time and money to attempt to grow crops, either in the garden or on the farm, without
manure, and plenty of it. Mvery year am more and more convinced that we do not use enough. If we
would cultivate less acres and use more manure, we would have a larger surplus over expenses. <A poor crop
only pays expenses, and oftentimes not that. It is only good crops that pay a profit.

As to the kind of manure, use all the stable or barn-yard manure you can make or get. Nothing is
better, or as good. Then use all the commercial fertilizers you can afford to buy, and you can afford more
than you suppose. It is money well invested that will pay 100 per cent. in six months, and the money paid
out for manure and fertilizers frequently pays more than that. If you doubt it, try it.

STIRRING THE SOIL.

A. J. Downing, one of the best authorities on such matters, says: ‘‘If I were to preach a sermon on
horticulture, { should take as my text,“ Stir the Soil.’ So essential is this considered by some gardeners
that they insist that frequent stirring the soil will produce larger crops without manure, than poor
cultivation with manure. While I am satisfied that nothing can take the place of manure, I am equally
well satisfied that a soil frequently stirred will produce much better crops than the same soil that is only
seldom cultivated. For some crops it is absolutely essential. Frequent stirring keeps the soil well open
and porous, so that it admits the air freely, and the loose surface acts as a mulch to keep the lower soil
moist and cool. If you want big crops, keep the surface soil loose and friable.”’

DRAINING THE SOIL.

Hither in farming or gardening, the proper drainage of the soil is of the first importance. Many a
farmer goes on year after year, raising poor crops that pay him no profit, simply because the soil is not
properly drained. I have, in more than one instance, been repaid the cost of draining a field by the increase
n the first crop.

DRAINAGE WARMS THE SOIL.—It is stated on good authority, that drainage raises the temperature of
the soil fifteen degrees. This is an important item in the early Spring. A difference of fifteen degrees in
nae temperature of the soil would save much early-planted seed from rotting, and much consequent
replanting.

DRAINAGE LENGTHENS THE SEASON FOR WORK AND FOR THE GROWING Crop.—This cannot be
over-estimated in our northern climate and short Summers. A difference of two weeks will often prove
the difference between success and failure of a crop. I have on my farm land that formerly was so wet
that it seldom could be planted until June, but since being drained it is the first land that we work in the
Spring—often during the month of April.

USEFUL TABLES.

One acre of land contains 160 square rods.
r ss “ 4,840 square yards.
sf Sj “« 43,560 square feet.

Quantity of Seed for an Acre.

It is difficult to give a fixed amount of seed that should in all cases be sown on an acre of ground. As
a rule, new ground requires more seed than old ground, that has become fine and well pulverized hy years
of cultivation. It is also a safe rule to sow rather too thick than otherwise, for in that case the crop can
be thinned ; but if too little seed is sown, it cannot be remedied.

ASPARAGUS,

This is one of my principal garden crops, having over three acres in cultivation. The seed should be
sown early in the spring, in good, strong soil. Thin out the plants and keep free from weeds. The plants
if good care is taken, will be ready to set in a permanent bed the following spring. The ground for the
permanent bed should be heavily manured and worked in deep. Make trenches 3g feet apart with a plow
or spade 8 inches Beep, and set the plants in the bottom of the trenches, 20 inches apart, and cover the roots
lightly with earth. When the plants are a foot or more high, hoe the earth into the trenches filling them
one-third full. Afterwards fill the trenches nearly full of rotted manure, or give liberal application of phos-
phate and cover with earth. When leveled off, the top of the roots or crown should be about six inches
below the surface of theground. Every spring give a heavy coat of manure and cultivate thoroughly. Cut
lightly the first two years, after that keep the bed cut clean as long as you want Asparagus. hen well
established it can be cut for six weeks without injury. Let the brush or tops remain on the bed during the
winter to protect theroots. The fallingseed can do no harm as the ~~
young plants from the seed always die out.

_ Henderson’s Bush Lima Bean — This is a
genuine Lima bean, and yet it is a bush bean,
with no tendency to run. Earlier than the
climbing Limas, and produces a continuous crop
until frost. _ Possesses all the delicious qualities
of the large Lima. My stock is direct from Mr.
Henderson. I grew them last season and was
both surprised and gratified with them. Pkt. A,
5¢.; pkt. B, 15c.; qt. 50c.

Burpee’s Bush Lima—A bush Lima as large
as the climbing beans. It is practically the large
Lima in bush form, and possesses all the fine
curaities of the well-known Lima, rightly named

ing of the Garden. Pkt. A, 10c.; pkt. B, 20c.;
qt. 60c.

Long Yellow Six Weeks—The earliest of the
String beans; hardy and prolific. It may be
paaeed quite early, as it will stand a light frost.

kt. A, 5c.; pkt. B, 10c.; qt. 40c.

Early Round Pod Red Valentine — One of
the earliest of the String beans; very productive;
remains in the green state longer*than most
varieties; much used for pickling. Pkt. A, 5c.;
Pkt. B, 10c.; qt. 40c.

Refugee, or Thousand to One—A very pro-
ductive, medium variety; young pods very tender
and fine flavor; used largely for pickling: Pkt.
A, 5¢e.; Pkt. B, 10c.; qt. 40c.

Yosemite Mammoth Wax Bean—This is the
largest of the Wax beans. It is enormously pro-
ductive. The pods often attain a length of 8 to
1U inches, and are nearly all solid pulp, the seeds
being very small when the pods are fit for use.
The pods are a rich golden color, and are abso-
lutely stringless, cooking tender and delicious.
Pkt. A, 10c.; pkt. B, 20c.; qt. 60c.

Rust Proof Golden Wax—The Golden Wax
bean has for a number of years been the favorite
bean with market gardeners. But it has one
fault, in unfavorable weather it is inclined to
rust. Grennell’s Improved is claimed to be rust
proof. We have grown it two years and haye

HENDERSON'S NEW BUSH

Black Wax or utter — An old standard
variety; quite early, and productive; pods waxy
yellow, and very tender. One of the very best
wax beans for family use, as the pods are more
tender than some other varieties. Pkt. A, 5c.;
pkt. B, 15c.; qt. 45c.

Wardwell’s Early Kidney Wax—A valuable new Wax bean.
The vines are more robust than most wax beans, and very pro-
ductive, yielding a heavy crop of pure wax pods, which are large,
smooth and stringless, and net inclined to rust; in fact. I have™g
seen no rust upon them, The beans are pure white, and kidney#
shaped, Oneof the earliest, if not the very earliest, of the wax
beans. Pkt. A, 5c.; pkt. B, 15c.; qt. 45ce.

POLE OR RUNNING BEANS.

Of all the Running Beans the Limas are the best. By using shor
poles, not over four feet, and pinching off the ends of the runners
often as they reach the top of the poles, they can be ripened in thisf
latitude, 43 degrees, unless the season is very unfavorable. Plant as
soon as the ground is dry and warm, generally about the middle of
May: but do not bein too much of a hurry, for they are quite liable}
to rot unless the ground is warm enough to sprout them quickly. I}
always set the poles and make the hills around them before planting.

Early Jersey Lima—A new variety, grown by the New Jersey
market men. Similar to the large Lima, but nearly two weeks
earlier, which will make it especially valuable for all who grow
Lima beans for market. Gardeners who understand the value of
an early crop will do well to plant this bean. Pkt. A, 5c.; pkt. B,
15¢.; qt. 50c.

King of the Garden Lima—A very vigorous grower, with large
pods, well filled. Sets its pods early, and continues bearing until
frost. Pkt. A, 5c.; pkt. B, 15c.; qt. 50c.

KING OF THE GARDEN.

Early Golden Cluster Wax—A new pole bean;
early, and very prolific. The pods are unusually
large and long, 7 to 8 inches, growing in clusters,
of a rich golden color, stringless, delicate flavor,
and not excelled as asnap bean. Unlike most
pole beans it is very productive, and seems to
keep bearing till frost. Its beautiful appearance
and great productiveness must make it a profit
able variety to grow for market, notwithstanding
the extra labor of setting the poles. Pkt. A,
10c.; pkt. B, 20c.; qt. 60c. .

Lazy Wife’s—This is an enormously productive
bean, and is pronounced the best green podded
snap-short pole bean in cultivation. The pods
grow four to six inches long, and are entirely
stringless, rich and buttery in flavor when cooked
and retain their tender qualities till nearly ripe.

The beans are white, and are an excellent bean
for winter use. Pkt. A, 5c.; pkt. B, 15c.; qt. 50c.

Horticultural or Speckled Cranberry —A
round, speckled bean, equally good as a snap or
shelled bean; used both in the green and dry
state. Pkt. A, 5c., pkt. B, 15c.; qt. 50c.

If a heavy rain should fall soon after sowing the seed, and the surface of the ground becomes crusted ~

over, the ground must be raked lightly with a steel garden rake, to break the crust over the seed. If this
is not done the young sprouts may not be able to push up through the crust on the surface. From this
cause seed sometimes fails to come up, and the sower thinks hig seed was bad, when the trouble was not

in the vitality of the seed but in the experience of the sower.

two feet apart. When large quantities are sown
it saves labor to sow the rows wide enough apart
to use the horse and cultivator between them.
Many growers prefer the Sugar Beet for stock. It is
certainly a fine beet, and grows nearly as heavy
crops as the Mangels. -

Beets are best kept through the Winter by bury- |

ing them in pits, which should be dug about a foot
deep and three feet wide, and long enough to hold
the stock on hand. Scatter dry earth over them and
then cover with straw and earth sufficient to keep
them from freezing.

Eclipse Beet—This beet has taken the lead as the
first early market beat. It is a bright blood
turnip, as early as the Egyptian, better shape,
larger and smoother. Top rather small, root
tender and sweet. One of the best beets for
market gardeners. My crop of seed of this beet

We have used your Cabbage Seed here for the past four or five years, and it has proved to be the best
Cabbage Seed we have ever had. Your Fottler’s Brunswick and All Seasons are both equally good.

weighed 15 pounds each, trimmed, and took the premium.

CABBAGE.

Cabbages are one of my specialties, both as a market crop and for growing the seed. Iraise no stump
seed: only the best heads and of the best types are used for seed. My Early Summer, Winningstadt,
Fottler’s Brunswick, and All Seasons, are of the very best strains, obtained by years of careful selection.
There are none better and few as good. Many growers make the mistake of trying to grow a large Cabbage
on poor soil. If your soil is light orsandy try the Winningstadt. New land is preferable, and it is not safe
to follow Cabbage with Cabbage, otherwise ‘“‘club root’’ will appear. I have found a clover sod one of the
best fertilizers for Cabbage. The most important thing next Alter plenty of manure, is the frequentstirring
of the soil. It cannot be stirred top often. For this latitude, 43 degrees, I find that the best time to sow the
seed of a late Cabbage for a Fall or Winter crop is from the 10th to the 20th of May, and set the plants from
the 15th of June to the Ist of July. Different sowings should be made so as to have the plants ready when
the ground is in a suitable condition for setting. The early small growing varieties may beset 18 to 20 inches
apartin the row. The later varieties should be set 2!¢ to 3 feet apart. ‘The seed can be sown broadcast, but
I prefer to sowin rows one footapart. An ounce of seed will produce about 3,000 plants, but it is a safe rule
to sow an ounce for every 2,000 plants wanted.

I have been very successful with the late varieties by planting them about the first of June in hills where
they are to grow. Make the hillsa mere hoeful of earth, and with the thumb and finger put three to five
seeds in the hill. When large enough to transplant, the surplus plants are very handy to replace any hills
that may have been destroyed by the black fly or cut worm. Late plants are quite liable to be destroyed by
the cabbage fly as soon as they appear above the ground. To prevent this, dust them over lightly, Just as
they are coming up, with fine air-slacked lime or soot. Do not delay this even for a day, for the delay may
be fatal to the crop. It is best applied when thedewison. For the green cabbage worm, so destructive in
some localities, I have found Pyrethrum or Persian Insect Powder, a perfect remedy. It is not poisonous
and may be used with perfect safety. Sprinkle it on the worms with a small dredging box. I have used it
quite extensively and always with success.

All Seasons—This new Cabbage has received very
high commendation. It can be grown equally
well for anearly or late fall crop. Very reliable
to head, and the heads are largeand solid. When
wanted for a winter Cabbage the seed should not
be sown in this latitude till about the first of

what the Baldwin is among the apples, always
reliable... Heads conical, medium size, second

able to head. Will head on light soils, where
other kinds fail. It makes a good winter cabbage

CAULIFLOWER.

Re Quarter and a half ounce at ounce rates,

This is one of my principal market crops. T have tested
over thirty varieties of Cauliflowers. Many of the varieties
Were almost worthless,and it is useless to attempt to grow them
with any profit. I offer only such varieties as I have found
reliable. Cauliflowers do the best on low, moist land, as they
require plenty of water. Very little can be done in heading
Cauliflowers during the hot weather of the summer, They do
the best during the cool weather of the late autumn. They
delight in a rich soil. The cultivation is the same as for
cabbages. For an early crop, the plants must be raised under
glass. Fora late crop, sow the seed and transplant the same
as winter cabbage. 1 set the plants from the 20th of June to
the 4th of July. ‘To protect the young plants in the seed bed

— . . from the black fly, dust them over lightly, just as they are
coming up, with fine air-slacked lime or soot, as recommended for cabbages. Assoon as the heads of the
Cauliflower begin to form, cover them with a loose leaf, or tie a few leaves over the head to protect
them from the sun, otherwise they will turn a brown color, which spoils their appearance. If troubled
with the green cabbage worm, sprinkle the plants with pyrethrum or Persian TaRECE Powder. It is a
sure remedy, as I know from experience.

CARROTS.

Carrots require a deep, rich soil. I grow them very successfully on muck land, and have grown over
900 bushels to the acre. I consider them excellent for horses, when kept on dry feed. Sow from the middle
of May to the first of June, in drills 18 inches apart, and thin to three inches in the rows. Keep free from
weeds, and the tops will soon shade the ground, and further weeding will be unnecessary. The White
Belgian will give the largest crops, but is not so nutritious as the Orange Carrots. As it grows
partly above ground, it is easier to harvest, $ %% \y =

MARKET GARDENERS PREFER MY CELERY. IZ

CELERU.

Half ounce at ounce rates. The culture of Celery is very simple when properly managed. Many
beginners in Celery growing fail to sprout the seed because they do not observe the necessary conditions
Celery seed is very small, and care should be taken to cover the seed very lightly and give partial shade to
keep the surface of the soil moist till the sced is sprouted, when the shade must be removed to prevent the
young plants from running up spindling. When the plants are three inches high, transplant them into a
bed prepared for the purpose, three inches apart. Shear off the tops of the plants to make them grow
stocky. If the plants do not stand too thick in the row, they may be sheared off where they stand, and
save the labor of transplanting. ‘Transplant into the field, on the surface of the ground, five or six inches
apart, in rows three feet apart, for the dwarf varieties, and four feet for the large varieties. Trim back
tops and roots when transplanting. Be careful to press the soil firmly about the roots, pressing the soil
each side of the plants with the feet. Nothing further is needed for four or five weeks but to keep the
plants free from weeds. They should be partially banked up and the earth drawn closely around the
plants, with the hands, being careful to keep the earth out of the heart of the plant. Thisis called
“handling.’’ It should not be done when the plants are wet. The blanching must be done by banking up
to the top of the eaves with a spade. This should bedone about three weeks before it is wanted. The
easiest way to blanch the self-blanching sorts is to set up a board ten or twelve inches wide on each side of
the row, bringing them nearly together at the top, and holding them in place by a clamp made of hoop iron
or heavy wire. It will blanch in four to eight days, according to the weather.

Where Celery is grown on a large scale for market, “ handling”? with the hands and banking up with a
spade is no longer practised. About the first of October a furrow is turned against euch side of the row,
with a one-horse plow or some kind of a Celery hiller, and the soil is pushed up against the rows with
pushers made for the purpose, being blades about six inches by eighteen inches long, with handles attached.
Two men push on opposite sides of the row. This partially blanches the self-blanching sorts and leaves the
green varieties in good shape for putting into trenches or houses, where the blanching is done during the
winter. If the grower has no house for storing his Celery, he must trench it. Select a dry place and dig
a trench about a foot wide and as deep as the Celery is tall, stand the Celery in the trenches, with the roots
partially trimmed, so that the tops of the leaves will come even with the surface of the ground. There
should be two or three inches of loose earth in the bottom of the trench so that the roots can start. It is the
formation of the small white rootlets that causes the Celery to blanch. Caution should therefore be taken
that the roots are not injured by too much drying or by frost when taking up and transferring to the
trenches. The trenches need not be covered till there is danger of a sharp frost. Then cover with boards
and any light litter, and as the weather grows colder puton enough earth to prevent freezing. Asa rule
there is more danger of the Celery rotting for want of air than of freezing.

Golden Dwarf Self-Blanching Celery—This new Celery
is considered by most growers a better Celery than the
White Plume. It is dwarf in growth, a rich golden yellow ;
tender, crisp, solid, and a rich nutty flavor. It will be a
favorite for those who grow Celery for their own use. Itis
now grown more than any other variety by market gardeners

' forthe Fall market. This variety for Fall and the Golden
Heart for Winter are now the two standard eeleries for
market gardeners. It is readily blanched by putting boards
one foot wide each side of the rows, bringing them nearly
together at the top. One thousand feet of boards will blanch
one thousand plants, and they can be changed every six or
seven days before the weather gets cold. If boards are not
used plow up a light furrow on each side of the row, and
with the hands briug it around the plant so as to hold it
upright, and it willsoon blanch. Itis not necessary tobank (&
it up to the top of the leaves, as isdone with the old or green ae 32a =
varieties. My Self-Blanching is imported seed, and his 3 os Le

blanched, is full and solid, of a waxy or golden color: most
excellent flavor, and one of the best winter keepers. It is

PERRY’S HYBRID, EVERGREEN.

When not ordered
No half

Stowell’s Ever-

green is the variety usually grown for canning, but I prefer Perry’s Hybrid or Shaker’s Early for market,

as they are earlier and nearly as large.

Sweet Corn should not be planted until the ground is warm, as it is

more liable to rot than the common field corn, though the early corn is quite hardy and may be planted

earlier than the later sorts.

To have a succession, plant in this latitude every two weeks from the middle

of May till July. Further south the planting may be done earlier and continued later.

EARLY VARIETIES.

Extra Early Cory—The earliest Sweet Corn;
earlier than the Marblehead or Minnesota, which
it has superseded. Market gardeners know the
value of the first corn. Pkt. A 5c.; pkt. B 10c.;
qt. 35c.

Burbank’s Early Maine—A new, very early
corn, almost as early asthe Cory, but a better
corn, as both cob and kernel are white. We have
grown it andcan recommend it to gardeners for
an early erop. Pkt. A dc.; pkt. B 10c.: qt. 35ce.

Crosby’s Early Sugar—The sweetest of the early
varieties; ears rather small, but a very fine corn
for family use, and largely grown for market on
account of its fine quality. Pkt. A 5dc.; pkt. B
10¢.; qt. 35c.

Perry’s Hybrid—This corn is too well known to
market gardeners to need a description. Ears
good size and two on a stalk. More generally

rown for a second early corn than any other.
kt. A 5e.; pkt. B 10c.; qt. 35c.

Shaker’s Early—The earliest large-eared sweet
corn, of good quality, and productive. It is two

weeks earlier than the Evergreen, and sells
equally well in the market. Pkt. A dc.; pkt. B
10c.; qt. 35e. ‘

Squantum, or Potter’s Excelsior—A medium
early corn ; large, twelve-rowed ears, and one of
the sweetest varieties. Its sweetness will be a
surprise to those who have never grown it.
Pkt. A dc.; pkt. B 10c.; qt. 35c.

LATER VARIETIES.

The Country Gentleman—A new corn, said to
be the finest of all for family use. Its superiority

is its delicious sweetness. The cob is small, and
the kernels deep, white and very tender. The
ears are of good size, and often three on a stalk.
Will please the most fastidious; Pkt. A 5c.:
pkt. B 10c.; qt. 40c.

Black Mexican—A black-grained corn; very
sweet, and much liked. Pkt. A 5c.; pkt. B 10c.;
qt. 35c.

Stowell’s Evergreen—An old standard variety
for late corn; ears large, deep grained ; largely
grown for canning. Pkt. A dc.; pkt. B 10c.;
qt. 35c.

The Egyptian, or Washington Market—A
very tall late corn; growing 10 to 11 feet high;
Should be planted four feet apart each way, and
not more than four stalks be left in the hill.
One of the best for a late crop Sweeter than
Evergreen. Pkt. A 5c.; pkt. B 10c.; qt. 40c.

PARCHING CORN.

White Rice —The old standard
rice parching corn that has
been long in use. Kernels
pointed. Pkt. A ic.; pkt. B
10c.; qt. 40c,

White Pearl—A smooth-grained
pearl-white parching corn ; ears
4 to 5incheslong. A goodcorn
to grow for market. Pkt. Adc.;
pkt B 10c.; qt. 40c.

Mapledale Prolific—The most prolific of all,
averaging § to 12 ears toa singlestalk. It grows
5 to 6 feet high, ears uniformly good size, kernels
pearly white, pops to large size and very tender.

CUCUMBERS.

_ pet So long as Cucumbers are wanted for the table, do not let any go to seed, as that impairs the
fruiting of the vine. ; i sey
Cucumbers require a warm, rich soil. In this climate it is useless to plant in the open air much before
the first of June. Plant plenty of seed, and when all danger of insects is past, thin to four plants in the hill
Por pickles, plant the last of June. Early Cucumbers, for market, are grown mostly in greenhouses, but for
family use they may be grown easily in the following manner: Dig a hole in the ground one foot deep and
two feet across, and nearly fill with warm manure. Cover with five or six inches of earth, and over the
center place a small shallow box, with a light of glass or piece of muslin over the top. Give’ air when the
weatheris warm, and water freely. As the plants grow, draw the earth around the stems. I have grown
them quite successfully in this manner. >

EGG PLANT.

A tender plant, which when well grown and properly cooked, is one of the
most delicious garden vegetables. Sow the seed like Tomato seed, in a hot-
bed, and give the same treatment as the Tomato; but more care should be
taken in transplanting to prevent the plants from being killed by sudden expo-

MUSHROOMS.

For the next five years there will be money in growing
Mushrooms. The demand is increasing much faster than the
supply. They can be grown more easily than is generally
supposed. Any dark room, cellar, or shed, where the tempera-
ture can be kept at 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. will grow
Mushrooms. Beds must be prepared with fresh horse manure
and soil, into which pieces of Mushroom Spawn are placed.
In about six weeks a crop of Mushroom may be expected if the
proper conditions have been observed. (For full directions for
growing see ‘‘ Mushrooms, and How to Grow Them,” in the
Premium List, on page 3 of the cover of this Catalogue.)

Mushroom Spawn—tThe English Spawn is considered the
best for this country. It comes in bricks of about one and
a quarter pounds each. Price of bricks, 30 cents each, by
mail, prepaid ; 5 lbs (4 bricks), $1.00, prepaid. By express,

YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS.

WHITE GLOBE,

If there is such a

selection for nearly twenty years, using only the most perfectly formed bulbs for seed stock. In addition to
raising the best possible seed from the best stock, I do what isseldom done by seed growers, and that is,
after my seed has been cleaned by the mill in the usual way, it is all WATER CLEANED. ‘This isan expensive
way to clean seed, as all the light, half-filled seed that goes through the mill is washed out and thrown away.
But, if expensive, itis thorough. Seed that sinks in water must be heavy seed and sure to grow. -When a
man sows water cleaned seed, he need not lie awake nights worrving about it, it is swre to come.

There is no vegetable where the quality of the seed bas more to do with the result of the crop than the
Onion. Seed that looks all right may produce a crop of thick-necked, immature Onions that will be nearly
worthless. Only THE BEST SEED FROM THE BEST STOCK is safe tosow. ‘The difference in the seed may, and
often does, make a difference of hundreds of dollars in the value of the crop. Some years ago when onion
seed and onions were both high, a neighbor of mine refused to pay $3.00 per pound for my seed, and went
into the city and bought seed at half the price. He sowed it upon half an acre of good land, but did not
harvest a bushel of onions. The whole crop was thick necks. He saved $4.00 on the seed and lost at least
$200 on the crop. Mr. VanAlstyne relates a similar experience :

HEMAN GLASS—Sir—As you were not able last year to fill my order for Onion Seed of your own growing,
I secured what I supposed was reliable seed of another grower. The result was my crop was one-third scal-
lions, causing me a loss of more than $200. Please enter my order for 10 pounds of the Yellow Globe Danvers
of your own growing. Yours, truly, A. F. VAN ALSTYNE, Penfield, N. Y.

Onions can be grown on any soil that is not too sandy or stony. In this part of the State they are largely
grown on muck land; but such Jand must be well drained. I have found unleached wood ashes and phos-
phate the best fertilizers on muck. Apply one-half when the crop is sown, and the rest just before the
Onions begin to bottom.

The seed should be sown in thespring as soon as the ground is dry enough to work. There is little
danger of the seed rotting by sowing too early. Sow four or five pounds to the acre, in drills fourteen inches
apart, and be careful not to let the weeds get a start of the Onions. A few days’ neglect in weeding the first
time may be fatalto thecrop. Four weedings are generally necessary. They are cured or dried upon tbe
ground, and if the weather is pleasant, topped in the field. They must not be stored in piles, as they heat
rapidly. I have a house, built partly under ground, for storing them, with shelves two feet apart, upon
which the Onions are placed eight to ten inches deep.

Yellow Globe Danvers—The Yellow
Danvers is the most popular Onion,
and more of them are grown than any
other kind, if not more than ail other
kinds put together. It is productive, a
good keeper, and always sells well in
the market. This seed is not of m
own growing, but isthe same stock thai §
I have sold for the past four years, and
it has in every case given good satisfac- _
tion. I test the seed thoroughly before
sending it out. Pkt. 10c.; oz. 15¢.; 14%

Parsnips should be sown in the early Spring, as the seed will seldom germinate in dry, hot weather.
Sow in drills 18 inches apart, and thin to 8 inches in the drill. Cultivate the same as carrots. Parsnips
are improved by remaining in the ground until spring; those wanted for winter use can be dug and

sent prepaid, 15 cents per quart may be deducted from the prices quoted below. Pints at quart rates and
4 quarts at peck rates. No half pints put wp. The packets are in two sizes. Pkt. B contains nearly a
half pint.

Peas mature the earliest on a light, rich soil. Sowin the Spring as soon as the frost is out of the ground
and sow three to four inches deep. They will stand a good deal of cold and some frost, and you can hardly
vet them in too early. But if the wrinkled varieties are sown quite early, it must be on a dry soil, as they
are more liable to rot than the smooth peas. They are, however, much the sweetest and best flavored peas.
To have a succession, make two or more sowings. Sow the early smooth hardy peas, like the Maud S. and
Alaska, as soon in the Spring as the frost is fairly out of the ground, and two or three weeks later make a
second sowing of the early kinds, and sow, also, some of the wrinkled peas. This will give a succession
from the last of June till late in July, when the early corn will be ready for use.

[ grow my Seed Potatoes, and take special care to have them true to name, and to keep the different
varieties free from mixture. Potato growers appreciate the importance of having the different varieties
true to name. My stock will be found first-class in every respect. After repeated trials I have
discarded many varieties which I have found inferior either in yield or quality.

Among the Early Potatoes the Early Ohio and the Early Sunrise still keep the lead as the best early
market potatoes. The Ohio Junior, though claimed as a seedling, is almost identical with the Early Ohio.
Burpee’s Extra Early is claimed by some to be equal to the Early Ohio in earliness: and yield. Those who
have not tried it, will do well todoso. The very early potatoes should be planted on land that is either
naturally rich, or made so by fertilizers. The growth isso rapid, that unless there is plenty of available
plant food in the soil, they will mature before reaching a good marketable size. It is folly to expect a large
yield of early potatoes on poor soil. If you must plant potatoes on poor soil, plant some of the late, strong
growing varieties, like the White Elephant and American Wonder. They will do far better on poor land
than the early potatoes.

For a Second Early Potato there is nothing better than the Early Puritan. It is a white potato, grows
to good size, and is one of the best for table use.

Of the Late Potatoes, the American Wonder is now: the favorite, though the White Elephant is largely
grown and is a fine potato on sandy land. The Maggie Murphy, and Rural New Yorker, No. 2, are strong
growers and large croppers, and are coming into general use. At the World’s Fair the Rural New Yorker,
No. 2, received more commendations than any other potato. f

SPECIAL OFFERS ON SEED POTATOES.

First.—To enable our customers to get the new varieties of potatoes at small cost, we put up our best
seed potatoes in cloth bags holding fowr quarts each, packed in bran and correctly labeled. These bags, one
or any number, we sell for 275 cents each. All the varieties in this Catalogue are put up in these bags and
only one variety in a bag.

Last year we had orders to send these bags by mail, which of course we could not do. At the price we
ask for the bags we cannot pay express charges on them, but when eight bays or more are ordered sent to
one address, we will send them by freight and pay the freight. They can be sent cheaply with other seeds
either by express or as freight.

SECOND.—To those who wish single pounds only; for seventy-five cents I will send by mail prepaid one
pound each of any three varicties of your own selection ; or one pound each of any five varicties if sent at
the expense of the person ordering. Each variety will be separately packed and correctly labeled.

1 hope many of my customers will avail themselves of these offers to make satisfactory tests of the
varieties they have not heretofore grown, especially the Americem Wonder and Early Puritan. Other
varieties are valuable, but these are indispensable. ;

Orders will be booked when received, and the potatoes will be shipped as soon as it can be done without
danger of freezing. Potatoes by the pound will be sent by mail or express prepaid. ‘By the peck, bushel,
and barrel, they will be sent by express or as freight, at the expense of the purchaser. No charge for bar-
rcls, boxes or cartage. Two or more varieties will be packed in the same barrel, when desired.

American Wonder—I have for years been trying
to find a potato as good in all respects for the late
or fall crop as the Early Ohio is for an extra
early, or the Early Puritan for a second early
crop. I believe I have found it in this potato. I
have grown them two years, and they outyielded
all my other varieties, and what is seldom true
of a large potato, they are the very best quality,
baked or boiled. It is a large, white, oblong
potato, uniform in size, very vigorous growth,

RHUBARB, OR PIE PLANT.

Rhubarb is grown from seed and by division of the roots.
Like the seeds of fruit trees, Rhubarb seed cannot be relied upon
to reproduce the same variety. Sow the seed early in the Spring,
and thin to about teninches. In the following Spring transplant
three feet apart in a strongrich soil. If propagated by a division of
the roots it may bé done in the Fall or the Spring. To get rhubarb
early, set an old barrel, without heads, over the hill as soon as the
frost is out of the ground. Around the barrel pile up some warm
horse manure, well packed down, and fill the barrel about half full
with light strawy manure. The warmth of the manure will soon
start the growth of the roots, and you will have delicious rhubarb
by the time the rest is beginning to grow. Light is not essential to
its growth, and it is often grown under greenhouse benches, and
can be grown in boxes in a light cellar. :

SQUASHES.

Winter Squash is very tender, and it is useless to plant them until the soil is quite warm and all
danger of frost is passed. There isno need of hurrying in planting, as they make a rapid and lux-
uriant growth. Plant in well-manured hills, the same as for
cucumbers and melons ; the bush varieties four feet apart each way
and the running sorts nine feet apart. Ten or twelve seeds should
be planted in a hill, and when danger from bugs is past thin to
three or four plants. I save my squashes from the black squash bug
by hoeing the earth around the stems, close up under the lower
leaves, which keeps the bugs away from the stems, where the
damage is done. If this is done two or three times very little
damage can be done by the bugs. Winter squashes should be well
ee eg a or they will lack in sweetness and will not winter well.
The test of ripeness is a hard shell.

TOMATOES.

Half ounces at ounce rates.

There is no vegetable con-
cerning which there is such a
strife for new varieties as the
Tomato, Every season some
one comes out with a new
Tomato, that is the earliest,
smoothest, most perfect To-
mato ever grown, but in too
many cases they are only
what we already have, under
new names. I think the Marly
Ruby has two or three aliases.
—— set - = I do not believe that we have Eo Oe

BOND’S EARLY MINNESOTA. an earlier Tomato than the DWARF CHAMPION.
Ruby. Last year I tested it withthe Atlantie Prize, Early Advance and other new varieties, but not one of
them was any earlier than the Ruby, and most of them not so early. We shall undoubtedly have improve-
ments in the quality of Tomatoes, but gardeners should feel their way slowly with new varieties.

“> To obtain early Tomatoes the plants must be started ina hot-bed or greenhouse, and when two inches

high transplant into a hot-bed, four inches apart. When the weather becomes warm, in this latitude, about

the 20th of May, transplant into the field, three and one-half feet apart each way. If the soil is too rich,

they will be apt to make a rank growth of vines rather than fruiting freely. A light, rather sandy soil is the

best. Pinching orcutting off the ends of the vines will hasten the ripening of the fruit. Plants for a small

garden may be started in a box or flower pot in the house.

Atwell Corn—I have grown this variety of corn on
my farm for over twenty-five years, for the reason
that I have not been able to find a better. It is
an early, twelve-rowed, yellow flint corn. It
gives a good yield of corn, and makes a heavy
growth of stalks. On account of its earliness I
have found it especially valuable to raise in situ-
ations that are liable to early frosts in the fall.

The Coodwill—An eight-rowed yellow flint corn
that is early and yields well; makes afine ear

ENSILAGE, OR FODDER CORN.

Those who have not grown the Ensilage Corn for
fodder purposes cannot begin too soon. It is the
cheapest feed for cattle during the winter that can
be raised on the farm. It is better than either hay
or corn-stalks. The yield per acre is immense. We
tie it in bundles when cut, and before winter put
it into shocks and wire it at the top. Put up in
this way it will keep fresh and sweet all winter.

NO GRASS, NO STOCK; NO STOCK, NO MANURE; NO MANURE, NO CROPS. 33

ORCHARD GRASS. MEADOW FESCUE. ITALIAN RYE GRASS.

GRASS SEED.

Grass is the most important crop of the farm. The value of the hay crop in the State of New York is
greater than all the wheat, corn, rye, oats and barley crops combined. Yet the farmers of the state give
their main attention to these crops and leave their grass lands to shift for themselves. If our grass lands
were given the same attention that is given to other crops, we would realize a greater profit from our farms
and at the same time their fertility would be increased. Grass is the foundation of successful farming.

“NO GRASS, NO STOCK; NO STOCK, NO MANURE; NO MANURE, NO CROPS!”

Thousands of acres of meadow lands in this state scarcely yield a ton of second-quality hay to the acre,
when, with proper seeding and fertilizers they would just as easily yield two and three tons of first-class
hay. Other thousands of acres of pasture lands are covered with weeds, thistles and mulleins, among
which lean and unprofitable cattle seek for a bare subsistence, where we ought to see fat herds feeding upon
the luxurious grasses our soil and climate are so well adapted to produce. It is time our farmers gave this
subject their attention. ;

As a crop for market there is nothing that can be more profitably raised by Eastern farmers than hay.
Hay being a bulky crop to ship, the nearer it is grown to the point of consumption the more profitable it
will be. With this crop the Eastern farmer has a clear advantage over the Western.

Timothy is one of the most nutritious grasses, but its after-growth is always thin, and a close mowing,
if followed by dry, hot weather, wil! nearly, if not entirely, kill the bulbous roots of the grass, leaving no
aftermath at all. To keep this grass in the ground and to secure an aftermath that will be a protection
against dry, hot weather, it should be sown with other meadow grasses that will ripen at the same time.

The use Of Orchard Grass is strongly recommended in place of Timothy. In this latitude Orchard Grass
is fit to cut by the middle of June, before the daisy and other like pests are ripe enough to seed. The yield
of Orchard Grass is full as heavy as Timothy, and it makes an excellent quality of hay to feed on the farm.
Several years ago I seeded a meadow with Orchard Grass and Red Clover, and I was agreeably surprised
both at the quantity and quality of the hay.

About two bushels of the mixed grasses should be sown to the acre to insure a good seeding. The first
* cost will be more than the old way of seeding, but half a ton of hay per acre in the first crop will pay the
additional cost of the seed, and the increased yield in the after crops will be all clear profit. In my own
experience, the increased amount of afterfeed has more than paid for the increased cost of seeding. Pastures
properly seeded will yield double the amount of feed that farmers usually get upon their pasture lands.

he grasses recommended for MEADOW LANDs are: Timothy, Orchard Grass, Meadow Fescue, Italian
Rye Grass and the Clovers; Mediwm Red, and Alsike.
By For PASTURE LANDS: Kentucky Blue Grass, Orchard Grass, Red Top, Meadow Fescue and White
over.

Orchard Crass Mixture, for meadows, being three-fourths Orchard Grass and one-fourth Meadow
Fescue. Price, $2.50 per bu. of 15 lbs. To this should be added 10 lbs. of mixed Clovers, in the proportion
of 21bs. of Medium Red to 1 1b. of Alsike. But the Clover should be sown separately and in the Spring.
Price of clover, market rates.

Timothy Mixture, for meadows,being four quarts of Timothy, three-fourths of a bushel of Meadow
Fescue and one-fourth of a bushel of Italian Rye Grass. Price, $2.50 per bu. of 18 lbs. If Clover is wanted,
10 lbs. of the Mixed Clovers should be sown in the Spring.

Pasture Mixture, being one-half Kentucky Blue Grass, one-forth Orchard Grass, one-eighth Red
Top, one-eighth Meadow Fescue and White Clover. Price, $2.40 per bu. of 16 lbs.

Lawn Crass—There is nothing that makes a home more attractive than a fine lawn. The seed should
be sown quite early in the Spring, or early in September, the latter period being preferable when it can be
done. Late Spring sowing seldom makes a fine lawn. The soil should be quite fine and mellow and raked
smooth. About three bushels should be sown to the acre to insure a thick growth. On small plats one
quart to the square rod is a good allowance. My seed is one of the best mixtures for this climate, and
contains Kentucky Blue Grass, Red Top, Meadow Fescue, Sweet Vernal and White Clover. Quart,

Blue Grass, Meadow Fescue, Red Top, Sweet
Vernel and White Clover. Qt., prepaid, 25c.;
qt., not prepaid, 20c.; bu. (15 Tbs,), $2.50.

Timothy—The most generally grown of al! the
grasses, and one of the most nutritious. Not
adapted to pasture lands as it will not stand close
cropping. (45 lbs. to the bushel). Prices variable
and will be given on application.

Orchard Grass—One of the most valuable grasses
for pasture or hay. It is one of the earliest and
most rapid in growth of any, and the more it is
cropped the better it seems to thrive. All kinds
of stock seem to be partial to it as a pasture
grass, and it is coming into more general use as
a meadow grass. (14 lbs. to the bushel.) Bu.
$2.75; qt., prepaid, 25c.

Meadow Fescue—Of great value as a mixture of
grasses for both meadows and pastures, It is
taller and ripens somewhat later than Blue
Grass. It is known in some sections as ‘ Ever-
green Grass.”’ It should be sown with Orchard
Grass and Red Top for pastures, and with Timo-
thy and Italian Rye Grass for meadows. (18 lbs.
to the bushel.) Bu., $2.50; qt., prepaid, 25c.

Kentucky Blue Grass—Known in the Eastern
states as ‘June @rass.’’? The best of all the
grasses for pastures and lawns. Forms a close,
fine turf, and when well established, will stand
close cropping. (14 lbs. to the bushel.) Extra
clean Beet per bu., $2.00; qt., prepaid, 20c.

Red Top—A valuable grass in all mixtures for
lawns or pastures. Will grow in almost any
soil, wet or dry. It is a hardy perennial, and
produces an abundance of fine hay. Should not
be omitted in seeding land where a close, fine
turf is wanted. (14 lbs. to the bushel.) Bu., $1.40;
qt., prepaid, 20c.

Italian Rye Grass—A grass for all climates and
all soils. One of the best for meadows in connec-
tion with Timothy, as it makes a strong second
crop or aftermath, which the Timothy often
ails to do. (18lbs. to the bushel.) Bu., $2.25;
qt., prepaid, 25c.

height three to five feet ; seed round, golden yel-
low; produces abundantly of both stalk and
grains. Sow half bushel to the acre. (48 lbs. to

Hungarian (Crass) Millet—One of the most
valuable of soiling plants; height two or three
feet: withstands drought and yields well on light
soils; may be sown as late as July first and pro-
duce a heavy crop. Sow half a bushel to the
acre. (50 lbs, to the bushel.) Bu., $1.40; 1b.,

Medium Red—The common Red Clover, grown
everywhere, If cut when in blossom it makes
very good hay for cattle. Price given on appli-
ration,

Mammoth Red, or Pea Vine—A very large,
coarse clover, much used for plowing under for
green manure, The stalk is too coarse to make
good dry fodder. Per bushel, market price given
on application; lb., prepaid, 20c.

Crimson, or Scarlet Clover—This new clover
is attracting a good deal of attention. It can be
sown from June to October, and the following
spring will proggee enormous crops for green
manuring, silage or hay. It isanannual, a rank
grower, roots deep in soil too poor for Red Clo-
ver. Grows late in the fall and early in the
spring. Sow 10 to 15 lbs. to the acre. Price on
application.

Alsike, or Swedish—This variety of clover is of
finer growth than the Red, and adds to the quan-
tity and fineness of the hay when mixed with the
Red. Itis also well adapted to low, moist land.
It produces very heavy crops under favorable
circumstances, but is not adapted for green
manure. ‘he blossoms are very distinct and the
size of the head is midway between the white and
red clovers. Per bushel, the market price; lb.,
prepaid, 25c.

Alfalfa, or Lucerne—A clover of great value, on
deep, dry and light soils, whereits tap root can
penetrate to a considerable depth. ied well
established it produces several heavy cuttings
during the season, and the fodder is suitable for
all kinds of stock, for either soiling or hay. It
is somewhat difficult to secure a good stand, but
where it will succeed it is the most valuable of
all the clovers. It should not be cut the first.
year before August, and then not closer to the
ground than eight or ten inches. Dnring the
second year and afterwards it may be cut in
June, aud three or four times during the season.

38 LAKEVIEW SEED FARM, ROCHESTER, N. Y.

My list of Flowers contains the most popular kinds, such as every lover of flowers
delights to raise. I grow many of the seeds myself, and trust they will give the same
satisfaction that has so often been expressed for my Vegetable seeds.

Success in the cultivation of flowers depends upon a knowledge of their habits of
growth and the conditions requisite for their fullest development. Plants poorly
developed may produce blossoms, but not of a sort to please the eye or satisfy the
grower. To secure flowers that are a source of pleasure to both grower and beholder,
the plants must be of vigorous growth and fully developed.

The first condition is a proper soil, which should be light, friable and porous, and
not liable to become dry and hard. A stiff, heavy clay soil, or that which is too dry,
should be avoided. The soil must be prepared by thorough pulverizing, and made fine
and smooth by careful raking. Then remember, in sowing the seeds, the following
particulars :

Do not sow the seed when the ground is wet and heavy.

Do not cover the seed too deep. The general rule is to cover about three times the
diameter of the seed.

Press the soil firmly about the seed.

Shade the ground if it dries out too quickly. Sometimes a newspaper fastened
over the seed will answer.

Do not be in too much hurry for the seed to come up. Some seeds germinate very
slowly. ‘

Do not pull up your flowers for weeds before you can tell the difference.

Finally, by exercising care, patience and perseverance, you may expect flowers that
will amply repay all the labor bestowed upon them. But do not scatter your seed at random, and then wait
to get “‘something for nothing.”’

ANNUALS. a

TTT en ae a)

Annuals embrace the larger part of the flowers usually grown in our
Gardens. They make a quick growth, blossom the first year, and then
ripen their seed for future seeding. Some, like the Phlox, Petunia and
Verbena, furnish a continuous bloom till late in the fall; and some, like
the Pansy and Verbena, are quite hardy, and, if properly cared for, will
live through the winter and biossom the second year. Some of the Annuals are also beautiful climbers,
like the Conyolyulus and Ipomca. The Tropzolum furnishes both the dwarf and climbing Nasturtiums.

ALYSSUM.

A hardy annual, flowering from
early spring till frost. Flowers are
pure white, and of a peculiar delicate
fragrance ; very useful in making all
kinds of bouquets ; grows freely from

ASTER.

No flower is more popular than the Aster, and few
have held so high a place in popular esteem for so
many years. The seed may be sown during the
months of March and April, under a frame or in the

reenhouse and transplanted in May. The Aster,
oe the Dahlia, is essentially a Fall flower, and there
is no haste in sowing the seed in the spring. Set the
plants from six inches to one foot apart, according to
the size and habit of the variety. The Aster requires
considerable water, and liquid manure may be ap-

lied occasionally, with good results.
Reece are varieties should be supported with stakes.

Sweet peas are the most popular flowers grown. No one who loves flowers can afford to be without
them. The new varieties are now so distinct and varied that everyone is delighted with them.

When sowing the seed make a trench six inches deep and cover with two inches of soil. When the vines
are five or six inches high gradually fill the trench. By sowing deep they will stand the hot weather in mid-
summer without drying up, and continue to bloom along time. The seed pods should be cut off as soon as
fermed. If they areallogved to remain the vines will soon stop blossoming.

CARNATIONS.

The great improvement in this favorite flower has
made it a rival of the Rose for cut flowers. It has become
indispensable to the florist for winter decoration. Plants
shana be renewed every year, either from seed or from
layers. Young plants can be raised from seed though all
will not come double. Layering can be done in the open
ground in mid-summer by slitting the branches and cover-

CANNA,

Ornamental foliage plants, growing three to five feet hich,
with beautiful flowers of various shades of yellow, crimson
and vermilion, They can be grown from seed. If sown
under glass or in pots in the house by February, and trans-
planted early, they will blossom the first year, and the second
year will make fine plants. The seed is very hard and must
be soaked in warm water, or better, puncture the shell to let
in the water, and as the seed sprouts it will break the shell.

The plants, when once obtained, may be increased by
dividing the roots, but they must be taken up on the ap-
pepe of cold weather and stored for the winter like Dahlia
bulbs.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS. COLEUS.

Chrysanthemums are too well known to need a description.
They are the finest plants we have for late Fall and Winter
blooming. They should be re-potted during the Summer, and
pinched back and taken into the house before frost, when they
will afford a grand display for two months.

white, Very fine.

glory in the Fall when
other flowers are fading.
SRS Ks Nothing is more beautiful

CHRYSANTHEMUM. than a mass of Dahlias in
the late Autumn. The roots or bulbs should be put into the ground
in the Spring as soon as it is dry enough to work. Cdver the neck of
the bulb with about three inches of earth. Before hard frost take
up the roots and dry them out and store inacellar not toodry. If
too dry, they will shrink up; if too moist, the eyes will start too
soon.

GLADIOLUS.

The Gladiolus is the most gorgeous of the summer flowering bulbs. Each bulb
throws up tall spikes of flowers two fect or more in height. ‘To have a succession of
bloom, set the bulbs from the middle of April to the first of June. Set them six to
nine inches apart, and cover about four inches deep. Before freezing dig the roots
and store in a cool dry place where they will not freeze.

partially shaded places. Make the bed rich and

tifulfornaments for the house or the conservatory.

like and very fragrant. The
bulbs should be started early
in the house or under glass,
and transplanted into the
open ground when danger of
frost is past.

WHAT MY CUSTOMERS SAY:

Inclosed find order for seeds. Your seeds are the best I have ever had in my long experience as a
gardener. Your water-cleaned seeds cannot be equalled.

LORENZO MARTIN, Chautauqua, N. Y.

The seeds I bought of you were the best I ever had. From an ounce of your Carrot seed I raised 37
bushels of the finest Oxheart Carrots I ever saw, and from 40 pounds of your Early Ohio PotatoesI —
rai 27 bushels of the finest Potatoes ever seen here, and sold them for $1.25 per bushel. I received ¥
twelve seed annuals this season, but I pile them all back in one corner out of the way, except yours, which ~

I look at every chance I get. A. PACKARD, Lewis Co., N. Y.
I havea great growth of Onions from your seed. The only trouble I see with them is, they are too
thick. H. M. LITTEL, Wayne Co., N. Y.

The seed I had of you last season was the best I ever used, especially the Danvers Onion seed.
M. J. JEWETT, Jeff. Co., N. Y.
Your Tomato seed proved the best we ever had, and your Cabbage seed was the very best in the

country. JOS. PEACHEY, Wichita, Kansas.
There is only one difficulty with your seeds : they grow too thick ; they are sure every time; the best

I ever had. H. 8S. PIERCE, St. Johnsbury, Vt.
You merit our order again this year, for we find your seeds all youclaim for them: ‘‘ Good Seed,

Full Weight, and Fair Price.”’ Mrs. E. TOWNSEND, Genesee Co., N. Y.

Having used your seed two years, I find them just as represented.
MANFORD STREETER, Wolcott, N. Y.

Your seeds arrived in splendid shape and germinated well, and have done and are doing finely.
Thanks for extras. I shall want more next spring. CHAS. CHILDS GILDERSLEEVE, Woodstock, Conn.

We have had your seeds a number of years, and all speak highly of them; large packages and sure ~
to come up. S. O. DAvis, Windham Co., Vt.
Your seeds have always proved so good, and just what they were recommended to be, that I can
always recommend them in the highest terms, and want no others. :
E. K. CONVERSE, Carson City, Michigan.
From the seed I got of you two years ago, I had the best garden I ever had. [haverecommended
your seeds to a good many. J@SEPH JACKSON, Fond Du Lac, Wis.

DEAR Sir—Last spring I purchased some Onion seed of you, which was entirely satisfactory. I have ee
been trying for five years to get some Onion seed that would produce such Onions, in both quantity and
quality, as I read of other growers raising, but have not accomplished that result until this season. |
From half an acre of Yellow Globe, Early Red, and Red Wethersfield, I havea large yield of remarkably
fine Onions. All the scallions and small unsalable Onions from the half acre could have been con-
tained in a half bushel measure. You may expect another order from me.

E. C. GILLETT, Penn Yan, N. Y.

I was really much pleased with yonr seeds last year; I shall get all my seeds from you this year. I
shall want quite a quantity in the Fall. G. C. JENNINGS, Jacksonville, Florida.
Your seeds this year are all very good, and we had the finest Beets we have ever grown.
A. J. KuuG, Market Gardener, Buffalo, N. Y.
I never knew what good seed was until I commenced dealing with you. In the two years past, the
seed we got of you has germinated and grown finely, and we had the best garden we have ever had.
M. SEAGER, Etna, N. Y.
The seeds I have bought of you the past two or three years have proved very satisfactory. I think
they excel in two particulars: First, in vitality, producing strong and vigorous plants in abundance ;
and second, in being true to name—two very important points. W. A. JAcoBs, Port Byron, N. Y.

MY WATER-CLEANED SEEDS ALWAYS GROW. —
