ASPARAGUS. i )
One ounce will produce 200 plants.
A deep, rich, mellow soil is best adapted to the growth of asparagus. It may be grown from seed or propagated by roots. Sow as early in the Spring as the ground will admit, in drills from twelve to fourteen inches apart, and cover one inch deep; when the plants are well up, thin to three inches apart in the drills. Keep the plants free from weeds during Summer, and protect slightly during Winter.
The following Spring, the roots will be ready to trans- plant into permanent beds; the roots should be set in rows three to four feet apart, and one foot apart in the rows; the crown of the root should be four to six inches below the surface of the ground. A fair crop may be expected the third year from the seed, orin one to two years when roots are used, according to the age of the roots planted. By planting two-year old roots a fair crop may be obtained in one year, and after that a full crop every year.

BORECOLE, or KALE. (Blatter Kohl.)
One ounce will produce 1500 plants.
Of all the cabbage tribe this is the most tender and delicate, and would be much more extensively grown than it is if its excellent qualities were more generally known. Early plants may be started in the hot-bed, or the seeds may be sown in the open ground in April or May; transplant in June, into rows, and cultivate the same as
cabbage. Pkt. Oz. Lb.

BROCCOLI. (Spargel Kohl.)
One ounce will produce 2,000 plants. This vegetable closely resembles the cauliflower. A veryrich deep soil is required to grow the broccoli to perfection; the seed should be sown early in the Spring, and the plants transplanted into rows three feet apart with two feet between the plants.

CABBAGE, (Kof/zoii.)
One ounce produces about 3,000 plants.
For early use a sowing may be made in the hot-bed in February or March; and for Winter use seed should be sown in the open ground in May or June. When the plants are five or six inches in height, transplant into rows three to three and one-half feet apart, setting the plants from two to three feet apart in the rows, according to the variety. A deep rich loamy soil is best adapted to the growth of this crop, and if large fine heads are expected, the land must be prepared by very heavy manuring. A handful of wood ashes thrown into the forming heads will not only keep off the cabbage-fly, but will assist the growth of © the plants to a considerable extent. To = preserve cabbages during the Winter, pull
them on a dry day, and bury them in long trenches in a dry place, and cover with boards to keep off the rain.

CARROT. (Meehre.)
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; three pounds required for one acre.
The carrot flourishes best in a good, light, well-enriched loam. Where there is a choice of situations, heavy and wet soils should be avoided, and preference given to the light and dry. For an early crop sow as soon as the ground is in good working condition; plant- ings for general crop may “be made as late as S June, but early sowings succeed best. The NS early, small- sized varieties may be sown in S= drills ten inches apart, but the larger sorts require at least eighteen inches between the rows; cover three-quarters of an inch deep, and when the plants are well up, thin to six inches apart in the rows. As an agricultural root, the carrot is unsurpassed for feeding stock. Pkt. Oz. Lb. Earliest French Forcing.

CAULIFLOWER. (lumen Koil.)
One ounce will produce 3.000 plants.
The cauliflower, like the cabbage, requires a deep, rich soil, and seldom succeeds well when grown on land long under culti- vation. Sow the seed in the hot-bed in March, and transplant into the garden in May; set the plants in rows and cultivate the = same as cabbage. If the season is dry, water often, as cauli- * flowers cannot be grown to perfection without plenty of moisture.

When grown six inches, and fine stocky plants, set in richly-manured, deep soil, in rows three and a half feet apart, and about nine inches from plant to plant. Water, if dry weather follows transplant- ing. During the next two months all the attention required is to keep down weeds. Afterwards earth up a little, and continue doing so at intervals until only the tops of the leaves are visible late in autumn. Never hoe or earth up when the plants are wet.

DANDELION. § (Lowenzahn )
One ounce will sow 200 feet of drill; one pound will sow an acre.
Extensively used as early spring greens, and considered very healthful. Sow seed in May or June, in any good soil, in drills fifteen inches apart, upon beds made smooth with the rake. Cover very lightly and press the earth firmly upon the seed. Cultivate during the summer to keep down the weeds. Cover with litter upon the approach of severe weather, and remove the covering early in spring. If spare frames are at hand, they may be used to advantage by set- ting them over a portion of the bed, and forcing the dandelions under them, thus forwarding a portion of the crop. Dandelions make an excellent salad if blanched by earthing-up, or placing boards to exclude the light.

Do not plant out till the weather becomes perfectiy settled and warm. Cool nights or wet weather will check them. Keep some back in frames for a second planting, in case of weather changing unexpectedly. Keep plants watered for a few days if the sun is hot when put out. Set out plants 3 feet by 2. Black Pekin.

A rather moist soil is preferred. Sow early in the Spring in drills twelve inches apart, and thin out the plants to ten inches apart in the drill as soon as they are large enough to handle. Before using the plants must be blanched, which is accom- plished by gathering the leaves to a point at the top and tying them together with matting or any soft material. It makes a most delicious salad. .

MUSHROOM. (Champignon.)
One pound of spawn is sufficient for nine square feet of bed. If wanted by mail, add 10 cents per Ib. for postage.
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, ard well turned three or four times to sweeten in some dry place. Upon a dry, firm bottom, proceed to make the bed, by spread- ing a thin layer of the prepared mixture and pound-it firm till the bed is eight inches thick. Leave it thus for abouta - week, or till the temperature 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 anegg. 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, mushrooms wiil appear in six to eight weeks from time of spawning. The bed will continue bearing 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 suould be moistened freely with water at a temperature of eighty to eighty-five degrees.
Our Celebrated English [lilltrack Mushroom Spawn (made by the best maker in Eng!and especially for our trade) has gained an enviable reputation among critica. growers for its uniform good quality, and can be thoroughly relied on to produce a good crop of the best mushrooms.

The onion thrives best in a light, loamy, mellow, soil; and unlike most kinds of garden vegetables, succeeds well when cultivated on the same land for successive years. The seed should be sown as early in the Spring as the ground is in good working con- dition, in drills fourteen inches apart, and covered one-half inch deep. When the plants are three inches high, thin to two inches apart. Keep free
_ from weeds, but be careful not to disturb the grow- H ing bulbs. A top dressing of wood ashes, applied after the second weeding, is very beneficial to this crop, aS will soon be observed by the dark and healthy change of color given to the plants. The onions will ripen early in September, and after being gathered and exposed to the sun a few days for drying they will be ready for storing or the market. Pkt. Oz. Lb.

Parsley succeeds best in rich, mellow soil, and as the seed vegetates slowly— sometimes remaining in the earth four or five weeks before the plants appear—the sowing should be made as early in spring as the ground is in working condition. When the plants are two or three inches high thin them out to eight or ten inches apart, being careful in the thinning to leave only the best curled plants.

PEAS. (<£rdse.)
One quart will sow 100 feet of drill; one and one-half bushels per acre.
The Pea comes earliest to maturity in light, rich soil. Sow as early as the weather will permit, in drills two to three and one-half feet apart, and cover three inches deep. Forgeneralcrops a good dress- ing should be applied, and for the dwarf- growing kinds the soil can hardly be made too rich. Foracontinuous supply during the season, sowings should be made from early in April until the middle of June; planting should then be discontinued until the middle of July, when a good crop may sometimes be secured by sowing an extra early sort. The crop should be gathered as it becomes fit for use.
All wrinkled Peas are superior to, more delicate in flavor, and remain longer in season than the smooth sorts, but should not be sown until the ground becomes : : warm, for, as in sugar corn, the wrinkled

One ounce will produce 1,500 plants.
This delicious vegetable is one of the most important of all garden products. The seed should be sown in a hot-bed about the first week in March, in drills five inches apart, and half an inch deep. When the
‘plants are about two inches high, they should be set out four or five inches apart in another hot-bed, or removed into small pots, allowing a single plant to a pot. About the middle of May the plants may be set out in the open ground; they are planted for early crops on light, sandy soil, at a distance of three feet apart, in hills in which a good shov- elful of rotted manure should be mixed. On heavy soil, which is not suited for an early crop, they should be planted four feet apart. Water

TURNIP. (Xuée.) One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill. One and one-half pounds per acre.
Turnips do best in highly enriched, light, sandy or gravelly soil; sow the earliest varieties as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring, in drills twelve to eighteen inches apart. For a continuous supply through the season sowings should be made every two weeks until the last of July; from which time until the middle of August the principal sowings are made for Fall and Winter use. Swedish or ruta-baga turnips are largely grown for a farm crop, as well as for the table; make sowings from the tenth of June until the last of July, in drills two to three feet apart, and the plants when well up should be thinned to ten inches apart. They are best preserved in a pit or cellar during the Winter, and are excellent for the table early in Spring.

CLOVER SEEDS.
There are no plants so valuable for fertilizers as the clovers. They have the faculty of absorbing nitrogen from the air, and also of rendering available much of the inert plant food of the soil. Their long, powerful tap roots penetrate to a great depth, loosen the soil, admit air, and by their decay, add immensely to the fertility of the soil. The seed may be sown in Fall or Spring; the best results will come from sowing in the Spring, and it is often sown on the late snows of April. Lb. 100 Lbs. Red Clover, Medium, (Trifolium Pratense.)

ASTERS.
It is unnecessary to dwell on the great beauty of these popular favorites, as they are appreciated
by everyone. Our seed is the very finest it is possible to procure, We recommend our friends to plant a number of varieties, as no other annuals afford so magnificent a display during the late summer and fallmonths. For best results, Asters should havea good, rich soil and plenty of moisture. As the roots are produced near the surface, a mulching during hot weather is very beneficial. The location of the bed should be changed every year.

This, the first variety of its kind, is undoubtedly destined to be the forerunner of an entirely new strain of Cyclamen, the feather adding enormously to the substance and lasting properties of the flower, besides opening up the possibility of endless variety, by the introduction of a colored feather on the white ground, or a white feather on the colored ground.

SWEET PEAS.
It is unnecessary to say much about these lovely fragrant flowers, their universal favor- itism being well established. The seed should be sown as early as the ground can be worked in the spring, to enable the vines to get a good strong growen before the warm weather comes. repare the ground by thoroughly working in a large quantity of Well-rotteéd manure. Make a trench 6inches
deep; in this sow the seed and ; cover 2inches deep. Fill in the trench as the plants advance, This will se- cure a deep plantin GY) without the bad effec
‘ip
Yi y : of deep covering of the ff Za seed at first, and enable YE lant to bloom through
= the heatof summer. As

Sg, Dloom or fade they should be cut off, for if the pods are allowed to form the plants will stop bloom- ing.

No class of plants can lay so much claim to our attention as the Lilies. They are stately, elegant and beautiful, and possess the most agreeable perfume, and for general effect, whether growing in garden or house, they have no rivals. The soil should be rich, deep and mellow, with good drainage, as nothing willinjure the bulbs more than water collecting and standing around them. Do not put manure about the bulbs when setting, as it collects moisture and insects, and often causes the bulbs to decay. Top dressing is the better way to enrich the soil after the bulbs are set. The beds should be well covered with leaves and strawy manure to exclude the frost. Set bulbs 4 to 6 inches deep according to their size.

LAWN MOWERS.
As our business is contined entirely to the best trade, that demand the best goods, we have decided to handle none but Coldwell’s make of Lawn Mowers for the coming season. We have sold these during the past 6 years with better results than any other make, and we can thoroughly recommend them to be the best made, lightest running and best cutting machine on the market. The Horse Mower and Imperial Hand Mower are so well known that it is useless to comment on them here.
The Chain Roller Mower has been in use on the leading Golf Links during the past 3 years, and have proven themselves to be the best machine for this work. These are the only machines made especially adapted to border cutting.
The Motor Mower is the latest invention of Mr. Coldwell; it cuts a 40 inch swarth, cost of fuel is 40 cents for 10 hours. For large places, where perfection of lawn is required, this machine not only cuts and rolls the lawn, but the engine, which is of four horse-power, can be utilized for cutting wood, pumping water, threshing or other work, without removing it from the Lawn Mower.
Absolute guarantee with every Lawn Mower. Satisfactory in every respect or 0 sale.
‘«COLDWELL”’ IMPROVED
They are furnished with shafts, seat and side draft attachment, which keeps the horse on the cut grass only. Each Mower warranted to give complete satisfaction. The new aitachment for instantly rais- ing the knives when traveling along roads and stony places is very convenient. “

COLDWELL’S IMPERIAL LAWN MOWERS.
A The best Lawn Mowers in the 4c 5 market. The principal feature of
: these machines is that the bottom knife-bar is bolted to the sides, thus making the frame perfectly rigid, while by a new patent hanger the re- volving cutter is adjusted to the bottom knife. This is the reverse of

Coldwell’s Chain Roller Tlower for Golf Links and Borders.
In addition to the usefulness of this Mower for regular lawn work, it will perfectly cut the grass on borders, even though they are narrow strips of sod be- tween flower-beds and walks, where a side-wheel Mower would have one wheel off the border.
The Chain-Roller Tower iis _ strictly high grade and should last for years. The chain, in place of gears, reduces the noise and _ friction. The Self-Dumping Grass Catcher is the best ever used.

COOPER HOSE MENDER.
No mechanical skill required to mend your hose. Cut out defective place in hose with sharp knife, leaving ends as square as possible, thus
>
insuring close union. Dip ends in water if not already wet. Insert Mender a short distance at one end, then take the other piece of hose and do like- wise. Take hold of each piece and push them on together, having them meet at center of Mender. If hose does not go on readily, it can be twisted back and forth, until it meets, as above mentioned. Do not expect it to go on too easily, as there is great difference in the stability of hose, accord- ing to length of time it has been in use, and also the quality.
Persons following these directions will find after one trial that they make the hose as good as new, and with a few of them in their house when in need will cause the hose to last twice as long. Simple, effective, and practically indestructible. Always stop the water at faucet, but never at nozzle, unless you want to spoil your hose, as the pressure to the square inch will range from fifty to ninety pounds. Price, $1.00 per doz.

Sprayer Insect Exterminator Simple, practical, effectual. By far the most economical as well as the most effectual device for applying paris green, with little labor. | Paris green applied with the inf Electric will kill potato zarr | bugs, all sizes and all ages, every time, and only one pound required for an acre of potato vines. Experience has proven that paris green applied in its pure, unadulterated state does not injure vines, and is far more effectual than when mixed with plaster or any other substance. Every farmer who once tries the Electric in killing potato bugs will never do without it.

THE NEW MODEL SEED DRILL.
This we consider the simplest and best drill on the market. The diamond-shaped adjustable hole regulates the discharge, and can be made larger or smaller, as occasion requires. No other drill has this advantage. The seed cut-off claps up underneath the hole; it does not slide under ¢he same, as in other similar drills; on this account it does not clog nor cut the’seed. It has a broad wheel and a covering roller. The opening plow is adjustable in depth. The whole make-up of the drill is simple. It can be worked by any one. Price, $7.00.

THE “IRON AGE”? DOUBLE WHEEL HOE.
The garden or farm is incomplete without at least one of these tools. In cultivating onions, beets, turnips, radishes, etc., it is invaluable; saves hours of hard labor and does the work better than several men could.do it in the same time. One great advan- tage which this double wheel hoe possesses is that it can be made into a practical single wheel hoe in a moment’s time. An axle is sent with every double wheel hoe for this purpose. The wheels are 16 ins. high, enabling the wheel hoe to run easy and without yielding to the depressions of the soil, as a low wheel will do. The frame being made of tubing coupled to malleable castings gives great strength, together with lightness. Complete with all attachments, Rakes, Plows, Cultivator Teeth, $6.50. Plain, with hoes only, $4.00. ‘
THE “IRON AGE” SINGLE WHEEL HOE, CULTIVA= TOR, PLOW, AND RAKE.
This tool is, in regard to the work done, almost a counterpart of the Double Wheel Hoe, and the same remarks as to its constr uction, extreme lightness, and ease of operation will apply with equal force. In addition, its lower~price, less weight, and increased steadiness given by a single wheel make strong arguments in favor. of this tool. For the small kitchen garden we consider the single wheel hoe very valuable. The work is done principally between the rows, although the plants of small growth can be hoed on both sides at once by placing the wheel on the left side. With this single wheel tool, spaces of exceedingly narrow width can be worked, even using but one cultivator tooth. With the large plow attachment, deep furrows can be opened or closed; pota- toes, celery and other crops hilled; in short, all such work usually. accomplished by a special plow. Packed weight, 28 pounds. Price, $5.00.
We also have a weeder attachment for this tool similar to the ones used on the Double Wheel Hoe, a capital thing. Price, $1.00.

THE TIGER SULKY HAY RAKE. \ THE ORIGINAL «TIGER. S
The world’s standard Hay Rake is here presented to the consideration of users. Many hundreds of thousands of these rakes are in use gathering up more of the world’s hay crop than any other brand.
Sizes: The Tiger is made in sizes, 8 ft., 24 and 26 teeth, with teeth4 or4 inches apart. Wood wheels are the regular equipment.
The guideboard in the Tiger preserves the alignment of the teeth during the whole life of the rake. Short holds in iron sockets soon wear, and allow the teeth to trail out of line.
Continued solid steel axle, ratchet pawls, and spring in each wheel, which renders the Tiger Rake the strongest, the easiest to operate of any rake manufactured. Agents wanted. Price on application.
THE TIGER TEDDER.
NO. 16, 6 FORKS.
SS
The Dees Tedder is built on correct lines to fill all conditions in the case. It is neat, easy running,
easily handled, and does its work well in all conditions of land and crop.
The Frame Relief Springs are unique and invaluable. The fork springs are large, long-lived, and exactly suited to the conditions. The fork arm is tubular, and the tines are so shaped as to clear every obstruction and also to get all the hay.
The Draft is very light. Not an ounce of power is wasted. The line of draft is at exact center of ground wheels, the thills being simply a continuation of the draft arms. The entire machine is under complete control of the operator. Theslightest movement of the lever produces the effect intended, mak- ing it possible to adjust the forks at any desired height above ground. This is a great advantage, par- ticularly on rough, hilly land. The Tiger can be swung upand down easily and quickly, so as to ted all the hay. Thrown in and out of gear by lever operated from driver’s seat.

SYRACUSE ALL STEEL-FRAME DISC HARROW.
For Crushing Clods, Pulverizing Hard=Baked Clay Land, or Cutting up
Sod Ground No Harrow Rivals the
New Syracuse.
We show in the above the new Syracuse Steel-Frame Disc Harrow with double lever.
The Frame, both in the crosshead and gang beams, is made of double bars of highly tempered angle steel, giving both strength andrigidity. Attached to the Frame are steel arms which connect the bearing boxes. Each Gang has a double-jointed hinge which acts vertically and horizontally, giving flexibility and free action when working on uneven ground. By means of the adjustable hold-down casting at the inside ends of the Gangs, the Harrow can be made to cut at a uniform depth the full length.
Draft.—The Harrow draws direct from the axle, which, in connection with the excellent bearings of the Syracuse, obviates all tendency to side draft or neck-weight of the pole.
Levers.—The Levers are placed within easy reach, and each Gang moved separately, so that they are easily operated. The Gangs can also be set at different angles, when necessary, which is an invaluable feature when working on side-hill or rolling land.
The Scrapers of the Syracuse are known as the individual Gang Scraper, one for each Disc, with shanks of tempered spring steel, with long controlling rod, held in position by a secondary spring, and operated by a pivoted foot treadle at the end.
Discs.—Oil-tempered Steel Discs, either round or cut, are furnished, the latter being sent only on special orders.
The Hitch.—As shown in our cut above, the Harrow is arranged for a two-horse hitch, but we furnish same with three or four horse hitch if sospecified. For the three- horse hitch we furnish an extra crossbar and whippletree to-be attached to the side of we pole by an extra casting, thus making a perfect arrangement and avoiding all side
raft.
We furnish the cut-away Disc as well as the plain ones when so desired.
The following sizes are furnished:
12 16-inch Discs, cuts 61¢ feet. 12 16-inch Cut-away Discs, cuts 644 feet, complete.
