Mammoth Stringless Green Pod.
A mammoth podded selection from the orig- inal Stringless, not quite so early but more showy and possessing the good qualities of the parent. Pk‘. 10c¢.: pt. 25¢.; qt. 40c.; 4 qts. $1.20; peck $2.00.

4A golden wax pod, almost perfectly round, similar to a pencil, hence its name. Pkt. 10¢.; pt. 30c.; qt. 50c.; 4 qts. $1.25; peck $2.25.
Yes=Landreths’ Mammoth-=Seeded Golden Wax Mohawk.
A cross between Mohawk and Crimson Flageolet. Never before introduced, The dry Seed of the new Bean is of the same shape as Mohawk, but of brighter color and double the size. Vhe vine, like the Mohawk, produces long, thick flat pods, but they are a golden yellow wax, very tender when young. When older, the pods are very desir ble tor shelling ss a flageolet, the Seeds being monsiers and of excellent quality. In date of maturity for table this Bean is three or four days earlier than any other Bean in cultivation. In no way does it resemble any other known Bean; thus it is a most decided novelty.

A long existing demand has been fora Table Beet of deep bronzed foliage, as well as deep blood flesh. In this va- riety the two qualities are found more nearly in combination than ever be- fore. The leaves are purple, the root round, almost a solid deep scarlet. Early as the Eclipse, larger, equally tender and of a deeper and more uni- form red; altogether the best devel- oped of any type of Red Turnip Beet. Every gardener should have it.

NovTE:—No Cabbage Is its superior, its merits being earliness, quality, uni- formity of head and appearance. The head is of light green, the leaves
- small ribbed and well folded over, making a tight, close, hard flat head, the stem is very short. The sort is toa marked degree superior to any other Cabbage offered by anyone, no sort excepted. The seed to an appreciative man is worth five times the price we ask for it. Pkt. 10c.; oz. 60c.; 14 Ib. $1.90 ; 1b. $6.00.

Landreths’ Reedland Early Drumhead, 90 Days.
To any one wanting an Early Flat-headed Cabbage of reliability. be he a market gardener, private gardener, or an amateur, we recommend the Reedland Early Drumhead as uniting all the essentials. A variety bred upon our Reedland Farm. It is short-stemmed, fiat-headed, large and unusually early for a large, broad-headed sort. This variety might be called the ‘‘Challenger.’’ In all localities where it has been tried it has become a fayorite variety, and is recommended by all experienced Cab- bage growers. It will do for first, second and third early, intermediate and late. No Cabbage ever grown by us approaches it in so many desir- able qualities; indeed, it suits all seasons, all conditions and all wants; it is the perfection of a Cabbage as respects habit and quality, and onc we'tie to, as we consider the Reedland to be A No. 1, a gilt-edged sort. Market gardeners in the South assure us that it stands cold better than any ouner sort known in their section. Pkt. 5c. and 10c ; oz. 40c.; 14 Ib. $1.15 ; lb. $3.70.
THE BEST-OF ALL FLAT-HEADED SORTS—REEDLAND EARLY DRUMHEAD.
Landreths’ Flat Standard.

CABBAGE—CGontinued. Landreths’ All the Year ’Round, 95 Days.
Ten days later than the Reedland Early Drumhead. No Cabbage offered as an All-seasons’ Cabbage is superior to this, being admirably adapted for Spring, Summer, Autuiin or Winter. Without respect to habit or quality, it is the hardiest of Cabbages grown under the variable climatic. condi- tionsof Maine, Minnesota, Carolina, Florida, Mississippi or Kansas, being capable, either young or old, of resisting a greater amount of frost than any other, while under the heat and drought of Summer it stands un- flagging. Its character is indicated by its leaves, which are dark blue. thick and leathery. The heads solid, sweet, large, flat. The stem short and sturdy. The seed of this s:rt may be sown successively and con- tinuously in any locality during al! periods wien Cabbage is drilled. Its name indicates its quality as an all-around or all-seasons’ sort. Sold in sealed packages only. Pkts. 5¢e. and 10c.; 02. 35¢.; 14 1b. $1.00; Ib. $3.50.
Landreths’ Market Gardeners’ Large Late Flat Dutch.
For a large, heavy, hard, smooth-leaved, late-ripening Cabbage, no strain is superior and few equal to this. The head is thick, broad, solid and slightly rounded on the top, though the variety is what is termed a flat- head. The leaves extend well over the centre line of the head and fold down alternately, tightly forming a compact head. The natural habit of the seedling plants is to develop thick, short, stocky stems, but this quality is «ffected by the system of growth, for if the seedlings are crowded in the bed or grown among weeds, or under the shade of a house, fence or tree, they reach upward for air and light, the result being the develop- ment of long, slim stalks, which bad form of plants cannot be corrected by any subsequent culture. The seed is worth twice the money asked for it. It is grown upon our own farms, under our own personal daily oversight, and the strain carefully selected to meet the most critical demand. Pkts. 5c. and 10c.; oz. 30¢c.; 14 Ib. 90e.; Ib. $2.85.
Carrot. Rubicon Half-Long.
s A broad-shouldered selection from the very popular Danvers, consequently a heavy cropper and doubly valuable as a market gardeners’ crop on account of its great product and salable qualities. The color is red- orange, and the quality of the flesh unsurpassed. Pkts. 5c. and 10¢.; oz. 15¢.; 14 Ib. 45c.; Ib. $1.50.
Corn, Y= Landreths’ Sugar.
Edible 75 days from germination. A remarkably satisfactory and productive variety, two ears on every stalk, often three, sometimes four. Stalk 2 feet shorter than the Evergreen and yery close jointed. ‘he ears set low, large and well filled.

Pkt. 10c.; pt. 15¢.; qt. 25c.; 4 qts. 75¢.; peck $1.50 ; bush. $4.50.

quality. When the plant is half grown, it should be tied up, that the inner leaves may be blanched nearly white, in which condition they are as crisp as is possible to imagine, and are more palatable than the varieties of Cabbage-head habit. This is a choice yariety of the Cos family, yariations of which are used in Europe to amuch greater extent than those of any other habit. | Pkt. 10¢.; oz. 40c.; 14 Vb: $1.25; Ib. $4.00.

Landreths’ Arkansas Traveler.
SPECIALTY ; 75 DAYS FROM PLANTING TO RIPENING. A large, long, weighty Melon. Rind dark green, with waving stripes of black, interior always solid, the edible portion extending to within half an inch of the skin, flesh brilliant red, sweet, tender, crystalline, very juicy and altogether quite superior. Seeds variable in color and small. Ripening as an inter- mediate. A yery hard rind and therefore a good shipper. No better Melon, except the Boss, has eyer been offered to lovers Of choice Water- melons; in size it isnot a mammoth—no large melons are first-class in
uality. In color of flesh it is deepest red, in texture crystalline, in ayor sugary. The flesh is solid throughout, without any sign of either core of cayity, and the edible portion extends to within a half-inch of the skin. We cannot say enough in praise of the Arkansas Traveler.

¥ik=> Landreths’ Boss, 80 to 90 Days.
We still adhere to our claim that no Melon has ever been introduced which can be compared with the Boss in delicacy of flavor, dazzling brilliancy of color of flesh, solidity of flesh, depth of flesh, melting quality and | everything going to makea perfect Melon. The edible portion of the flesh extending to within less than half an inch of the skin, and yet the rind is so hard that no Melon in existence is so good ashipper. Perfectly ripe Melons will support the weight of a heavy man without any injury to the interior. Success with the Boss however.is only met with when the soil is strong and rich, both naturally and artificially, and it requires a space of 9 x 9 or 9 x 10 feet to the hill. Under good conditions Melons weigh from 30 to 40 pounds, and we haye had frequent reports of them reaching a weight of 60 and 70 pounds to the Melon. True stock can only be had direct from us. kts. 5c. and 10c.; oz. 15¢.; % Vb. 40c.; 1b. $1.00,

We ask the readers of this Catalogue of Garden Vegetables to compare its clear-cut arrangement, practical descriptions of varieties and most valuable
notes, with other catalogues where such information is looked for in vain.
We do not stake our reputation on the effectiveness of an outside cover, nor on exaggerated illustrations of utterly unreliable and padded Gescrpions
but upon solid facts which may be relied upon as just the information the gardener should have, whether he be inexperienced or a master of his trade. While discriminating purchasers of Vegetable Seeds give full praise to our efforts to grow on our own lands the choicest strains of vegetables as
respects form, color, texture and periods of maturity, the average purchaser of seeds, on the other hand, nearly always wants something cheap, seeming to
ignore the fact that the best cannot be given at the cheapest prices. consequent loss to the grower who is often the sufferer.
Sorts marked with a pointer thus directed to them.
This accounts for the many abnormal or misshaped vegetables seen in the markets, and An extra dollar or so spent for seed, per acre, often turns the scale of future failure or success.

are the tubers, which are produced after the manner of potatoes. It is propa- gated alone by its tubers, which should be planted in rows of five feet, and one foot apart in the row. It is perfectly hardy and very persistent in garden or field. The tubers, dug like potatoes, are used domestically as a salad for jickling. On the farm they are used for feeding swine. Yield about 300 bashers Per qt. 25c.; bush. $2.75.
This should not be confounded with the French Artichoke, being a plant of an entirely distinct character—a species of the sun-
This plant succeeds best on sandy soil, though reclaimed marsh land, when freed from water, is admirably adapted to its culture; the lighter the soil the earlier the plants shoot in the Spring. Of whatever character the ground may be, it should be well cleared of trash or other incumbrances, and in a good state of cultiva- tion. The land is prepared by opening deep trenches, six or eight feet apart, by passing a two-horse plow twice to each furrow, throwing a furrow slice to the right and left, and finally cleaning and deepening the furrow by a third passage of the plow. The roots are planted in the bottom of the furrow, at eighteen inches apart, and covered by an inch of soil.
Stable manure may be applied in the furrow before the roots are placed, or on top of the roots after they are covered.
North of the latitude of Washington, Spring planting, when the Apple is in bloom, is considered to give the best results, but south of Washington, Fall planting has proven the best. We can ship paparaqas roots from Octo- ber to March to any point within 1,000 miles, but they must be planted as soon as received, as if exposed to the air are soon injured in vigor.
If the rows be six feet apart, about 6,000 plants are required to plant an acre; if at eight feet apart, 4,000 plants are required to the acre.
Asparagus.
Eight Ounces of Seed to 100 Yards of Row. Fifteen Pounds to the Acre.
One-year-old well-developed roots are better than old ones. When well planted and fertilized, a cutting of stalks can be made about three times the second year after planting. Cutting should not be continued too late in the

Spring, or the roots will become exhausted if the shoots are not allowed to deyelop fully, for of course it must be understood the leaves are the lungs of the plants. After cutting has ceased the ground should be worked by plow- ing away from the rows and manuring alongside, after which the earth sho ld be thrown back. Twenty bushels of salt to the acre, sown broadcast, may be used to advantage annually. The roots of Asparagus (thou h some penetrate six and eight feet in depth) are, many of them, inclined to run near the surface; the cultivator should accordingly, as far as possible, aim at flat culture. Early crops, like Peas, may be profitably grown between the rows of Asparagus for the first two or three years. Asparagus can be bleached
and made tender by mulching or covering with six inches of fine-cut hay, straw or leaves.
At the New York market green-pointed ‘‘ grass’ is demanded ; the Phila- delphia market calls for white-pointed. Both colors are found in the same field. The price obtained in the Philadelphia market by truckers from com- mission men is on an average ten cents per bunch, never lower than eight cents, though sometimes the price paid is forty to fifty cents.
One pound of Asparagus seed will produce 2,500 plants. The seed may be sown when the Cherry is in bloom or among the earliest operations in the Spring, and is usually drilled in rows of ten inches.

THE OPERATION OF CUTTING CABBAGE AND SHEETING PREPARATORY TO HAULING INTO DRYING BARN3. A FIELD OF ONION SEED IN THE F. REGROUND.
A few simple rules for planting and growing may help many to success where failure has heretofore been the result. 4 Don’t have the soil in the seed-bed as rich as the field to which the Cabbage is transplanted, or the plants will be starved after transplantation. Don’t seed too thickly, or force the growth too rapidly, or the plants will grow too tall, slim and tender, and the growth be more seriously checked by
adverse conditions Root deeply to resist drought. Supply plenty of moisture and manure.
When setting out, plant up to the first leaf-stems.
Don’t sow the seed for a whole crop at one time, for plants of different age are differently affected by adverse circumstances, and by division a planter
will have a better chance to profit, at least from a part of ‘his crop.

a flathead. The leaves extend well over the centre line of the head and fold down alternately. tightly forming a compact head. The natu- ral habit of the seedling plants is to develop thick, short, stocky stems, but this quality is affected by the system of growth, for if the seedlings are crowded in the bed or grown among weeds, or under the shade of a house, fence or tree, they reach upward for air and light, the result being the development of long, slim stalks, which bad form of plants cannot be corrected by any subsequent culture. The seed is worth twice the money asked for it. Itis grown upon our own farms, under our own personal daily oversight, and the strain carefully selected to meet the most critical demand.

idea, ‘+Everybody’s ~
Cress,”’ on page 21. One-half Ounce of Seed to 100 Yards of Row.
This delicious plant, like Broccoli and French Artichoke, is distinguished from other table vegetables by producing edible flower heads. By long years of selection and culture of some accidental natural variation of this plant of the Cabbage family discovered in the Middle Ages, the flowers of the Cauli- flower have been, to a large extent, rendered abortive, and the flower stems multiplied, shortened and thickened till they have been bred to form a half- globular compact crown or head which, when cooked, is tender as marrow, and the choicest of all esculent yegetables. Varying with climatic and soil conditions, the Seed is sown at all seasons—in hotbeds at close of Winter, out of doors when the Apple is in bloom, again when the Oak is in full leaf, again at Midsummer, and again, during Winter, under glass. The young plants are treated the same as Cabbage, and the larger plants require the same rich fer- tilization and culture—indeed more intense culture, as only those Cauliflowers are good which are grown quickly. We offer only seed of the highest quality. The early varieties are most likely to succeed in the hands of inexperienced growers. Sow the early sorts in seed beds beginning of Autumn, keep them in a ‘‘cold frame,’’ protected by sash from severe frost during the Winter, and transplant into deep and very rich ground as soon as frost ceases. Hand-glasses or boxes placed over them at night when they are put out are useful. It should be observed, however, that success is very uncertain in dry localities. In Pennsylvania the Cauliflower seldom heads well unless under glass or in cold frames. But there is little difficulty in having fine Caulifluwers when planted in frames under glass, at close of Winter, so as to advance them ahead of the early Summer heat. The late varietics mature in Autumn, and are sown at the same time and managed similarly to Cabbage. They do best in localities where the atmosphere is damp and saline, as on the coast. We may add that
Cauliflower can only be grown on rich, well-tilled, well-watered soil, and that it can hardly be overfed.

Can be grown by any one in a window box, either inside or outside ofthe house. The box may be, for example, 3 feet long by 1 foot wide and 3 in-hes deep, filled with good earth. Before sowing, dampen the whole body of the earth, but do not soak the soil: then sow to a box of dimensions indicated the seed in the packet, distributing so closely that they almost touch each other, and with a flat piece of board press the seed gently into the damp surface, then cover the surface with a piece of paper till the seeds are 4% inch high. The seed will sprout in three days, and the young plants, standing thick as possible, will be ready to cut and eat in two weeks, when they will be about 3 inches high. Cut them with scissors, close to the ground.
With three boxes, sown at intervals of a week, a constant succes- sion of most palatable Green Cress can be assured to everybody.

Egg=Plant.
One Ounce of Seed to 100 Yards of Row. Matures for Table in 120 Days from Sowing.
This seed is generally sown under glass and transplanted to the field 2 or 3 weeks after Corn-planting season. The plants are set in rows of 5 feet and at 3 feetin the row. The land cannot be too highly fertilized for this crop—yery short, thoroughly rotted stable manure or similar preparation is best ; strong or hot, rank manure is unsuitable.
Sow in hotbeds or other protected place early in the Spring; when up 2 or 3 inches transplant into small pots (which plunge in earth) so as to get stocky, well-rooted plants, and late in the Spring, or not till the commencement of Summer, unless the weather be warm, transplant into thoroughly worked, rich and recently well-manured ground. A good plan is to open a deep, wide trench, filling it nearly with manure; restore the earth and plant therein, placing the plants 3 feet apart each way. The seed does not vegetate freely ; repeated sowings are sometimes necessary.
LANDRETHS’ THORNLESS LARGE ROUND PURPLE, 120

The fruit may be described as short, egg-shaped, flattened at the bottom—diameter often nearly equal to the length. Color (when grown on soil of proper quality) a deep purple, running in places almost to a black purple. Single plants of this variety often reach a span of 3 feet, and produce 7 or 8 large fruits.

These impart a strong, spicy taste and odor, and are used in various cul- inary operations. Those marked with an * are perennial, and when once obtained may be preserved for years. Of such sow the seed very carefully in seed-beds about the middle of Spring, and in the ensuing Autumn or Spring transplant them to convenient situations. The others are annuals, or such as come to perfection the first year and die. The seed of these may be sown earefully in shallow drills, middle of Spring, and when the plants are up a few inches thin them to proper distances. To preserve for use, dry thor- oughly, rub the foliage almost to powder, and put in jars or bottles and cork tightly.

_Horse=Radish.
This pat, seldom producing seed, is propagated from sets cut from old roots, and in market garden culture nearly always planted as a succession to a Spring crop, which by time of removal leaves the Horse-Radish well estab- lished. The sets are planted in rows of about 2 feet by 18 inches, frequently among Spring Cabbage. Holes are made with a long planting-stick, into which are dropped the Horse-Radish sets to a depth that the crown will be 3 inches under the surface. It will only succeed in highly fertilized land. and each year should be planted afresh, In garden culture the sets are sometimes planted in the upper end of round drain tiles sunk into the ground and filled with earth, the Radish root being thus directed straight downwards.

One Ounce of Seed to 100 Yards of Row.
Th‘s plant, used both for table and for cattle feeding, is a Cabbage in which the cultural development has been directed to the stalk, not to the leaf. The enlarged stalks, taking the globular form of Turnips, are more hardy and nutritious than Turnips. Any good soil will produce a crop, the plants for which may be grown like Cabbage, in seed-beds for transplanting, or sown in permanent position in three-loot rows. Sow the seed for table use at any period when Cabbage may be sown. Drill in rows at 2 feet and thin to 6inches. For cattle feeding drill the seed in Midsummer for Autumn development.

Lettuce.
Two Ounces of Seed to 100 Yards of Row. Four Pounds to the Acre. Forty to Fifty Days from Seeding to Maturity.
For Plants see end of list on next page.
To have fine Lettuce in early Spring, sow in seed-bed from commence- ment to middle of Autumn. During Winter protect the plants by a box coy- ered with window or other sash, or with litter, as they stand on the ground. Early in the Spring transplant some into rich ground, The others force undér the sash. Or in early Spring sow in a hotbed and transplant, but Autumn-sown plants are best. For a later supply, sow in drills when the
Cherry is 1n bloom; when up a few inches thin out, leaving plants at proper | a
distances; this is a better plan than transplanting late in the season. — lor this purpose use Bloomsdale Reliable, Landreths’ Forcing, Virginia Solid Header and heat-resisting varieties, which we have selected as standard sorts by reason of their ability to resist heat, and the longer time they are in con- dition for the table than some other kinds which shoot to seed as soon as the head is formed.

Watermel)lon.
Three Ounces of Seed to 100 Yards of Row. Four Pounds to the Acre.
When the black Walnut is in one-inch leaf plant Melons.
Watermelons do well upon sod ground or upon land prepared for their reception by plowing down a crop of Winter Wheat or Winter Rye, the sod or grain aerating or keeping loose the soil. When the Apple is in bloom the seed is planted in hills at 10 feet apart in each direction. Two large shovelfuls of well-rotted stable manure dug and trampled into each hill and covered with earth.
One vine alone to the hill should be allowed to attain perfection ; with 450 hills to the acre, there should be 900 first-class Melons.

BLOOMSDALE.
The land, level as a Western prairie, presents everywhere clear- cut methods and intensity in the execution of the same to a most complete finish, the whole illustrating a style of culture the like of which is only elsewhere seen in Europe. These remarks apply to the three Landreth farms, on all of which is produced a grade of Seed more perfect, as respects shape, color and general development, than produced by other growers not so severely critical in ferreting out and removing every plant showing signs of departing from the true
types.
D. Landreth & Sons do not profess to grow all the Seeds they sell as that would require an immense acreage, but they do grow their choicest grades, all of which, now and hereafter, will be indicated as Landreths’ Cabbage, Landreths’ Beet, and which, consequent upon the critical attention and labor given them, are priced at a yalue higher than less carefully selected stock.
Cantaloupe, or Musk Melon.
The Seed supply of Cantaloupe was never before so short.
Two Ounces of Seed to 100 Yards of Row. Four
Pounds to the Acre.
Cantaloupes, or Citron Melons, as they are termed in Jersey, do well upon sod ground or upon land prepared for planting by plowing down a crop of Winter Wheat or Winter Rye, the sod or grass aerating or keeping loose the soil. No plant is more influenced by the conditions of its growth.
The seed is planted at about Corn-seeding time, or when the Apple is in bloom, in hills about 41% feet in each direction, two shovelfuls of well- rotted stable manure being tramped into each hill and covered with earth. The large, long Melons, like the Reedland Giant and Casaba, are generally sold by the hundred; Melons of the ordinary form and size are sold by the basket of one-half to five-eighths bushel capacity. Twenty-six hundred hills to the acre should produce 15,000 to 20,000 fruits, Cantaloupes and Cucumbers are often destroyed by Lice on the vines. The remedy to meet such depre- dations is to spray the leaves with oil and water. Cantaloupe vines are often blighted by heavy early morning fogs, the leaves appearing afterward as ifa flame of fire had passed over the field.

Nasturtium, or Indian Cress
Four Ounces of Seed to 100 Yards of Row.
At about Corn-planting season sow in drills at 3 feet and thin out to 10 inches, or plant to trellis-work. The Dwarf is the best, as it does not require sticks or training.
The flowers and young leaves are used as a salad. The seed-pods, with foot-stalks attached, are gathered while green and tender, and pickled as a substitute for Capers.

Twelve Ounces of Seed to 100 Yards of Row. Twenty Pounds to the Acre. Sixty Days from Planting to Maturity.
This Vegetable is hot half appreciated. We give a receipt for its Winter preparation, in connection with Tomatoes.
Také the Okra pods half grown, and slice them into rings. Prepare the Tomaiees for stewing. Mix altogether and stew as under ordinary cireum- stan¢és. When done, seal upin air-tight jars and use for a Stock for Soup— nothing better. ,
Plant the seed when the Apple is in bloom, in hills or drills; if in hills, 2
| feet apart and two or three plants in each; orin drills, 3 feet apart and 8 or
10 inches between the plants. The seeds are liable to rot in the ground, and should be putin thickly to secure the requisite quantity of plants. Veryrich ground is demanded by this vegetable. It is necessary.to make an earlier
| and later sowing to secure an uninterrupted supply throughout the season.

AN ONION SEED CROP READY FOR HARVESTING AT BLOOMSDALE.
Onions.
Philadelphia-grown seed, or such raised in that portion of Pennsylvania, is unquestionably earlier than New England seed, and still more so as com-
ured with Western seed. This is an important feature, as the EARLY MARKETED Onions always bring the highest prices.
The growth conclusively proves
1e assertion, Philadelphia seed making bulbs, either as sets or full-sized Onions, long before seed from any other locality. Try this experiment and be sat- fied. The yield of seed being much less to the acre than in any other locality, Philadelphia stock commands a higher price.
Large Onions from Seed.
These cannot be produced in every locality. Inquiry from neighbors ill always elicit information upon such subjects. When the Apple is in loom sow in drills 1 foot apart, drilling 6 to 8 pounds of seed to the acre. ield 300 to 1000 bushels.
Sets from Seed.
Drill when the Apple is in bloom, 60 to 75 pounds of seed to the acre. At [fidsummer, or whenever the tops die, remove the small bulbs, buttons or ets, as they are indifferently called, produced by this process, to a dry lace. In the Autumn, or early in the following Spring, replant them in dws, the sets 2 inches apart, the rows wide enough to hoe between them. ybserve: If not sown quite thickly in the first instance, they attain too irge a size, and when replanted shoot to seed.
In growing Onions for the market, either from seed or sets, an unusually irge size is not to be desired, 2 or 3 inches in diameter being about the most esirable size for shipping. A vigorously growing Onion crop frequently an be hastened to early ripening at near the desired size by simply stopping he vigor of growth by running a scuffle hoe under the bulbs on one side so 9 as to cut off one-half the roots. Such a course of treatment will reduce he excess of vigor and forward maturity. If the grower awaits the devel- pment of mammoth Onions, or even large ones, he frequently lets pass pportunities for paying sales far more profitable than afterwards realized.

Peas.
ALL SORTS IN VERY SHORT SUPPLY. Three Quarts of Seed to 100 Yards of Row. Two Bushels to the Acre.
Peas are among the first seeds that may be sown at close of Winter, frequently being planted before sharp frosts are fully over. The drilling of Peas may be safely commenced when the Peach is in bloom, and continued at intervals up to within sixty days of frost for the early kinds, or seventy days for the intermediate varieties, or eighty days for the later sorts. Late-sown Peas are never as productive as those sown in the Spring, and often are found to be subject to mildew. Landreths’ Extra Early will be found to be the best for August and September sowings, because of its early ripening habit and its ability to resist mildew. The dwarf varieties may be drilled at 2 feet if cultivated by horse power, or 15 inchesif to be hoed by hand. The yarieties of
| medium length should be drilled not closer than 3 feet, and the tall-growing sorts at 5 feet apart. The number of Peas in a row may vary from 10 to the foot, in the ease of the very dwarf kinds, to 8 to the foot of the medium tall varieties, and 6 to the foot of the very tall kinds. Yield 100 to 300 bushels. At Phila- delphia the highest average price paid by Commission Merchants for Early Peas is from $3.00 to $4.00 per bushel, and the highest price paid for late varieties is $1.50 to $2.00 per bushel, while the price sometimes is as low as 50 to 80 cents per bushel. Early Peas are not grown profitably at less than 80 cents per bushel, nor late Peas at less than 60 cents per bushel. The Pea thrives best In light loamy soil; the early and dwarf sorts demand rich ground.

The time for planting this seed varies from the first Corn-planting until probably a month subsequently. Later than that a successful crop cannot be expected, as this plant requires a long season of growth. When grown with Corn, every fourth hill of every fourth row may be planted in Pumpkin seed. During the working of the Corn the Pumpkin plants will stand unharmed, and after the Corn culture ceases the Pumpkin vines will extend over the field, covering it entirely if the soil be rich. :

Six Ounces of Seed will Plant 100 Yards of Row. Eight Pounds to the Acre.
Sow in a sheltered spot when the Cherry is in bloom, the earth being deeply dug, highly fertilized and raked free from clods and stones. Radishes grown on poor, thin soil cannot be made good; they will be misshapen and tough. To be good they must be grown quickly. kKadishes can be forced by covering with a window or a sash,

BLOOMSDALE SPINACH, 40 DAYS.— Earliest Cutting of any Sort. v = .—This is a form of Spinach superior to other sorts because of its leaves being curled, twisted and bloated to an unusual degree, this curled quality giving the leaves an elasticity especially fitting them for shipment
to long distances, while at the same time giving the crop large measuring qualities, many more barrels of the Bloomsdale Spinach being cut to
the acre than any other variety, and thus adding an increased profit to the shipper. It is especially recommended for Autumn sowing, as when sown in Springtime it shoots to seed early, The Bloomsdale Spinach is put up in blue muslin bags of 5, 10, 20, 80 and 40 pounds, fastened with copper wire and lead-sealed with our “ Bell”’ trade-mark to distinguish it from imitation and spurious stock.

T T T, OR TEN TON TOMATO, 110 DAYS.—Fruit deep red, large, round, half-flat, smooth as an Apple, free from green core or other imperfec- tions; 20,000 pounds or 10 tons to the acre can readily be grown on any good Tomato soil. TTT stands for Ten Ton Tomato, the name being intended to imply ten tons to the acre. Even this may be very much exceeded, as we have ourselves grown 600 bushels of the fruit on an acre. The fruit in form is large, slightly flattened at both stem and blossom ends. Exterior smooth as an Apple. Color blood red. The fruit cut across or transversely shows a solid meaty interior, free from air spaces or hard core. Itis a profitable variety to the farmer and the canner.

Three Ounces of Seed will Sow 100 Yards of Row. Four Pounds to the Acre. [atures for Table in from 60 to 90 Days, According to Variety and Season.
Turnip seed may be sown when the Peach isin bloom, or among the first seeds in early Spring; indeed, the only hope of a successful Spring crop is in an early start, as otherwise the period of maturity extends into hot weather, when the bulb becomes fibrous and pungent. Midsummer and early Autumn are the seasons for successful Turnip drilling, though frequently the conditions of the soil then are not favorable to satisfactory vegetation.
The seed of Cattle Turnips is always drilled in rows, while the early-maturing and surface-rooted Table Turnip is generally sown broadcast. We advise the sowing, either in drills or broadcast, of not less than 3 pounds to the acre to insure a satisfactory stand.
The Bloomsdale Swede, like other Ruta Bagas, is slower in growth than the rough-leaved Turnips, but produces roots more solid and more nutritious— less laxative and more fattening. The Ruta Baga is a gross feeder and will do best with 20 to 25 tons of stable. manure to the acre; when it cannot be obtained apply 500 pounds of superphosphate. ; a ae

BLOOMSDALE SWEDE, OR RUTA BAGA (Maturing in 90 Se Days).—The Bloomsdale is quite wonderful in its fine breed- ing. In nothing that we offer are the effects in selection and
in careful breeding so apparent as in this Ruta Baga. . It appears almost as a plant of-a distinct family, so far removed is it from the necky or top-rooted English forms. The Bloomsdale is deli- cate in texture, purple-crowned, golden-skinned, almost perfectly globular in form, and earlier to mature than any other known form of Ruta Baga. The leaves spring directly out of a rounded crown, the small rat-tail root terminating a symmetrical base. The Bloomsdale Swede will be found not only the best cattle- feeding Turnip, but the best Turnip for table use during Win- ter, being of fine texture and of fine flavor. Pkt. 5c.; oz 10c.; 14

The seeds used are all well cleaned, and we believe | them to be pure and full of vitality, and all persons using them are certain to secure a stand, provided the Jand be properly pre- pared and the seed sown at the proper time and at the right depth, and provided there be sufficient rainfall to germinate the seed. We cannot be responsible for the errors of the inex- perienced. A pound of seed will sow a space 20 x 20 feet, or say 400 square feet. Eighty pounds will sow an acre, but we recommend 100 pounds.

Old Lawns much in decay had best be plowed up, leveled up, and re- sown; but often this course is not convenient, certainly not if a lawn can be renovated by a system taking less time. In that case when prompt results are desirable, the old sod should be well combed by a harrow to tear out the dried Grass and easily extracted dead roots. This operation also breaks the earth, putting it in a pulverized condition to receive seed, which may be sown broadcast, and falling between the living Grass, roots into the friable and fresh soil, and is at once in position to germinate and occupy the space.

RYE GRASS, ITALIAN (Lolium Italicwm).—This is a variation of the Perennial Rye Grass, being much earlier and: far*more rapid in growth, producing larger leaves, more succulent food and three times as much of it; itis not as durable. The leaves are long and softi; the foliage is a rich green, resembling Rye, but lighter 1m color than the, Perennial Rye Grass. It makes a great show, developing from seed the quickest of any of the valuable Grasses. Is a strong feeder, enduring any amount of irrigation or manure. Succeeds best.in moist soil, and in such is the best Grass for soiling, affording repeated luxuriant and nutritious crops. Sow 30 lbs. to the acre. Per bush. (22 Ibs.), $2.50; 100 Ibs. $8.50 per lb. 12e.
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS (Lolium Perenne).—Long a stand-by among the best farmers in England. Leaves long, narrow and fine. Darker in color than the Italian, not more than half as large, and slower to develop. Cut when in blossom it makes fine hay and abundantly, but not equal to Orchard. It requires a moist climate, and in such stands for six or seven years. Perennial Rye Grass will resist overflow, and does well on sloping banks, as its roots are very fibrous and mat-like. It revels on deep tenacious soils. Sow 30 lbs. to theacre.. Per bush. (24 lbs. ), $2.25; 100 Ibs. $8.00 per lb. 10e.

TIMOTHY (Phleuwm Pratense).—As a Grass to cut for hay this is un- surpassed. It is coarse if allowed to ripen seed, but if cut in the bloom is bright and highly nutritious. If sown with Clover, as is often practiced, it has to be cut before development, being later, and thus there isa lossin returns. It does best on loamy soils. It is a large producer, two or three tons of hay being frequently made. Sow to the acre, if sown alone, 15 lbs.
Per bush. (45 Ibs.), about $3.25 per lb. 10e.
SWEET-SCENTED VERNAL. GRASS, PERENNIAL (Anthoxan- thum Odoratum).—One of the earliest in Spring and latest in Autumn. It is almost the only Grass that is fragrant, and to its presence our hay fields owe much of their charm. It has little nutritious proper- ties in itself, but it is well known that on pasturages where it abounds the finest mutton is produced. It does best on light loams and medium sands, but dies out on black prairie soil. Sow 25 lbs. to the acre if sown alone : per oz. 10¢.; per lb. +5e.
VICIA VILLOSA (Hairy Vetch).—A native of Russia. All animals eat it both green and cured. Difficult to cure; mostly used for feeding green, for soils, and for plowing under as a manure. Analysis demonstrates the plant to be of high value. It does not flourish in wet land, but needs considerable rain during its early growth. Broadcast two bushels to the acre in September and October in the South, and in Aprilin the North. This plant, sown in August, Sep- tember or October, in States south of the latitude of the Potomac, has given admirable results as a pasturage plant in early Spring and for mowing in April for the making of hay per Ib. 20e.

FLOWER SEEDS
SELECTED NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES
FOR 1903
Aster—Purity.
A beautiful branching Aster with flowers of glistening pure white, resembling great balls of snow; height about 18 inches. For cutting purposes there is no finer Aster grown. Per pkt. 1dc.
ASTER—PURITY.
Chrysanthemum Segetum
—Helios.
This excellent novelty originates from the Chrysanthemum Morning Star intro- duced some years ago, but while the blooms of the latter are deep yellow in the centre shading off outwards to a pale sulphur tint, this new variety bears pure golden yellow flowers of really splendid appearance. They are not only remarkable for this beautiful color but also for their size, measuring often up to 3 and 4 inches across, and last uot least for their extraordinary durability. Bad weather has indted little or no effect upon them, the petals remaining firmly extended both in rain and sun- shine. These qualities stamp the Chry- santhemum Helios as a cut flower of the very first rank, which should rapidly attain wide popularity; it offers, for in- stance, a capital substitute for the greatly demanded Chrysanthemum frutescens Etoile d’Or, with the additional advan- tage of requiring only the culture of an ordinary aunual, Pkt. 20c.; 3 pkts. 50c.

Selected Novelties and Specialties for 1903—continued.
DAHLIA—SINGLE MINIATURE.
Dahlia—Single Miniature.
The Miniature Dahlia will prove to be a first-class plant for borders and beds, but just as well useful for cultivating in pots, and principally where there are cut flowers in de- mand. If seeds of this strain have been sown by the end of March, the plants will commence to flower by the end of May, or at least the plants will show buds by that time. Planted in the open ground, the plants form very dwarf, neat and compact bushes of about 5 to 8 inches in height. Quite free above the foliage, on about 6 to 8 inches long stalks, are sitting the single flowers that measure about + to 8 inches, and vary in all the different shades of | white, yellow, rose, lilac, crimson, purple, scarlet, ete. Per pkt. 15c.
Dahlia—Twentieth Century, Single.
(Orchid Flowered. )
The most exquisite Dahlia ever introduced. No Orchid could be more delicate in color. It is pure white at the tips and base of the petals, shading to delicate blush rose. The flowers are of large size, 6 to 7 inches in diameter, and of
splendid form, while the plant is a vigorous grower and
profuse bloomer. Per pkt. 25c. DAHLIA—TWENTIETH CENTURY, FROM SEED. (45)
Seleeted Novelties and Specialties for 1903—sontinuea.
Dianthus Heddewigi Flore Pleno— Fireball.
Although the varieties of Dianthus
Heddewigi are already rather numerous, this novelty will by its intrinsic merit of neces- sity take a leading place among them. The flowers are of brilliant scarlet, « color which in such intensity has not yet appeared in the dou- ble-flowering section of Indian Pinks. Forming thickly- branching bushes, the plants f are quite resplendent with their shining fiery red _ blos- soms, and are thus not only of inestimable value for the gar- den, but yield also excellent material for cutting; Per pkt. 20c.; 3 pkts. 50c.
DIANTHUS HEDDEWIGI FLORE PLENO—FIREBALL.
Delphinium Elatum Hybridum Nanum.
(SEMI-DWARF PERENNIAL LARKSPUR.)
The fact that almost all perennial Larkspurs grow to a height of 6 or 8 feet renders them unserviceable for many purposes, especially for bedding in the centre of a garden. The semi dwarf class which we now offer, the result of years of careful selection, will be much more generally useful, as the plants never reach over 8 to 3} feet in height and develop a splendid and long continued show of bloom. They are of Candelabra habit and produce extra large flowers in all shades of blue, from the lightest celestial to the deepest inaigo. <A bed of these new hybrids makes a surprising fine show when in full flower, and we are convinced that they will secure for themselves a permanent place among our leading perennials, more especially as they will bloom the first season if sown in good time. Per pkt. 20c.; 3 pkts. 50c.

Tuberous-rooted Begonia.
This class of Begonia is the finest of all Summer-flowering tuberous-rooted plants, and is gradually becoming very popular. The flowers frequently measure 43 to 6 inches across and range in color from pure white to the most delicate pink, yellow, orange, rich crimson and scarlet. They do best in rich, mellow, well-drained soil, where they can be liberally supplied with water, preferably in a position where they will be shaded from
the direct rays of the sun during the hottest part of the
on
day. They can also be grown as a pot-plant. In
planting the hollow end of the bulb should be up and

SPECIMEN OF A CALIFORNIA PRIVET HEDGE.
California Privet.
(Ligustrum Ovalifolium. )
Beau ti f You r Su rroun din Ss ! Remove the unsightly fence; enhance the value of your property by planting a California
y Ss v Privet Hedge, the most remarkable, desirable and popular ornamental hedge-plant in exist-
ence. It is recognized as the ideal hedge plant, thriving in all soils, situations and under all
conditions, in lowland or upland, in sun or in shade, under the drip of trees, in poor soil almost as well as in rich. The smoke of factories or railroads does
not affect it, consequently it is doubly valuable. Especially adapted to seashore planting, where it luxuriates and growsin all its vigor and beauty, the
salt air giving the foliage a most vivid green coloring, so pleasing td the eye. Many handsome hedges of Privet, pruned in yarious forms, may be seen along the coast from Cape May to Newport.
The plantisa remarkably vigorous grower, compact and regular in formand a beautiful shade of green, glossy, waxlike foliage, which it retains throughout the season and well into Winter, and in sheltered locations is almost an evergreen, the new leaves putting forth as the old ones fall.
The value of California Privet as a hedge plant cannot be overestimated; no plant excels it ; it is beyond a doubt the best plant for the purpose ever brought to public notice.
The plant is perfectly hardy, easily transplanted and of very easy culture, growing more beautiful as it grows older. A plant admirably adapted for division lines, as it may be kept shorn to any desired height or width; the more it is pruned the better it appears and the better hedge will be formed.
A very pleasing effect is obtained by planting two or more rows side by side and pruning the first row to one foot in height, the. second row two feet, and so on, giving the whole a step-like appearance.
A hedge of California Privet is decidedly more ornamental and in many ways more desirable than the ordinary fence, which is a constant expense. The hedge requires no repairing, no painting, in fact no expense whatever, and is more impenetrable at two years after planting than the ordinary fence, When once planted it stands for a lifetime, making it a lasting monument to the memory of him who plants.
One of its good features is thatinsects do not attack it, thatit mever grows dull, but retains its beautiful glossy green foliage throughout the season. Privet is not alone used for hedging, but is planted as single specimens and in groups upon the lawn. It is grown extensively in tubs and placed on the lawn or about the house as a substitute for Sweet Bay, which it yery much resembles and equals in growth. It blooms in June, producing panicles of small, white, lilac-like flowers.
Pruning may be done at any season of the year, and without the slightest injury to the plants. Constant pruning stimulates a strong, compact srowth, and a perfect, low-branched hedge may be had the second season after planting.
We have a very superior stock of strong, healthy, well-rooted plants of our own growing to offer at the following prices :

Small Fruit Plants and Trees.
Always on the alert for rare and valuable fruits, and at the same time keeping in mind that a few good varieties are better than a large assortment of doubtful sorts, we have added to our list a number of meritorious varieties of fruits, such as can be depended upon to produce thoroughly satisfactory
results and thus worthy of extensive cultivation.
While we exercise the greatest care to have all our trees and plants genuine and reliable, and hold ourselves prepared to replace, on proper proof, all that may prove untrue, we do not give any warranty expressed or implied, and in case of. error on our part, it is mutually agreed between the purchaser and ourselves that we shall not at any time be held responsible for a greater amount than the original price of the trees.
We begin shipping fruit trees and plants March 1 and continue until May 15. Werecommend early planting for best results, and suggest very early
orders.

JAPANESE WINEBERRY.—We have been a little reluctant in our praise of the Wineberry, thinking it had been too highly extolled, but after be- holding the immense crop of bright red berries, in great clusters entirely covering the plants, last season gur reluctance gave way to praise and admiration. Hach berry is at first tightly enveloped by the calyx, form- ing a sort of burr, covered with purplish-red hairs so thickly as to re- semble a moss rosebud. The flavor of the fruit is entirely different from any other berry, being very sprightly, sweet and juicy, of a delicate and luscious flayor peculiar to itself.

THE CHAUTAUQUA CLIMBING CURRANT.—Description of in- troducer: ‘‘Four years ago secured the entire stock of Chau- tauqua, planted a few small roots for field culture. Last sea- son I had bushes as large as Fay Currant set from five to six years. I am fully convinced they are ahead of Fay, and believe they are the only Currant that can be made to grow upon stakes or trellis the same as Grapevines, thereby insuring a fine, heavy crop of beautiful Currants to place upon the market. The fruit ean be produced high enough from the ground to prevent soil- ing. The plant being such a vigorous and stocky grower that when properly headed back will grow in bush form and produce more currants per acre than any other Currant grown.” The fruit is large, holding size well to the end of the stem ; stem very long, often fiveinches ; color very dark red ; containing less seed than any other Currant grown ; flavor said by good judges to be the best. Thousands tested the quality at Pan-American Fair. The uni- versal verdict was, What fine flavor! what sweet Currants! what fine large Currants! The Pan-American awarded it a sil- ver medal. Think of one root producing thirty-two quarts of Currants and making fine shade for an arbor at the same time! Price, one year, $1.25 each; two years, $2.50 each.
RED CROSS.—In growing this vari- ety alongside of Fay’s Prolific, Cherry and others, that their comparative merits might be earefully observed, we find the Red Cross superior to them all, both in size, quality and_ pro- duectiveness. The individual ber- ries are larger, the bunches are longer and are produced in greater abun- dance than either Cherry or Fay’s Prolific. For the family garden where only one good yariety is wanted let it be the Red Cross. Price, 20c.

Sod Cutters.
These machines are meeting with high en- dorsement among railway men and managers of athletic grounds, having proved to be a great success as a labor-saver and consequently a money-sayver. They cut the sod of uniform width and thickness, in any length, so that it is particularly adapted
to giving solidity to slopesin cuts and on embank-
ments. They are light of draught, easily man-
aged, strong, neat and durable, and experience
Tue RICHMOND. warrants us in recommending them highly. Tur LANE. (Onc Hee eae _. $22.00 One machine will cut from 30,000 to 40,000 ARCHES Gh -pacteli en 08°99 square feet per day, thus doing the work of VPM GE GN OG Ao o Ges orale 2. NMEA

Spray Your Fruit Trees.
IT IS NECESSARY.
Every fruit grown in our climate is subject to the attacks of one or more enemies. These enemies are usually classed ‘under. two general heads: One, the microscopic foe known as Fungi; and the other, visible pests known as Insects. A great part of the injury to fruit caused by insects and fungi may be averted by application of Fungicides and Insecticides with spraying machinery. Spraying has come to be an es- tablished part of the work of every fruit grower.
The Insecticides protect the plant from the various beetles and larve that feed upon its tissues, and from the lice and scale insects that suck out their sap, thus checking the growth both of the plant and its fruit ; while the Fungicides, sprayed upon the plant or tree, prevent the germination of the spores of the rusts, rots and mildews, and thus ward off their attack. It is essential that the liquid be thoroughly stirred, and especially that the spray be evenly distributed and ina fine mist. Spray always in such a way as to reach the under as well as the wpper side of the leaves.
WHEN TO SPRAY.
Many of the failures in the past have resulted from the fact that the applications were made too late in the season. To secure the full effect of thesapplication, it should be made before the pests have gained a foothold. Early spraying is particularly desirable against all fungous diseases, as the fun- gicides are merely preventives, and after the fungi have attacked a plant it may be too late to save it. Proper spray= ing is never injurious, and in view of this fact should be attended to each season. Spraying should not be done during a shower, or before the leaves dry, or when a heavy dew is on the foliage, as much of the poison will be washed off or gather in spots. Poison is most effective if applied when the leaves are dry. The times and seasons for spraying depend entirely upon the enemies which it is desirable to reach, and upon the weather,
