The seeds should be sown early in the spring, in drills aninch and a half deep, and one foot apart. The next spring transplant to permanent beds, in rows or hills three feet apart and two feet between the plants. Plant in a deep, rich, moist loam, and the plants should be protected in winter by a covering of leaves or coarse manure. A bed will continue in bearing for several years.

Sow the seed early in spring, in drills 15 inches apart, and about a dozen to the foot in the drill ; keep the soil mellow and free from weeds during the summer, and in the succeeding spring transplant to permanent beds, which should be done in the following manner as described by a cultivator of Oyster Bay Asparagus.
‘«Plant on sandy soil. To grow Asparagus in perfection, the soil need not necessarily be richer than it Inust be to produce a good crop of Corn. Some experiments have shown that by heavily manuring the crop cannot be made permanently greater than by moderate dressings. It is not desirable to plant them out very early ; more vlants will fail to grow than when the planting is deferred until the soil is dry and warm.
‘‘TIn planting for private use, set out in rows two feet apart, and allow twelve inches in the row. Set the plants at least six inches be- low the surface. For market on a large scale, set four feet apart one way and two the other, which will allow the use of a horse and culti- vator to keep the weeds under.
“Tf the plot is made sufficiently rich when the plants are set, they will make a large growth the first summe, and the shoots may be cut from them the succeeding year. Any well treated piot ought to pro- duce a moderate crop the second year after planting. Remove the dead brush late in the fall or early in the spring of each year, and apply broadcast a dressing of manure. A plot of Asparagus will reach its maturity in its fifth or sixth year, after that the size of the shoots will diminish, but their numbers will increase.”

Sow Bush sorts in drills about two feet apart. and drop the beans about three inches apart in the drills ; cover two inches or less ; for a succession, sow at intervals of two weeks. Lima beans should not be planted until settled warm weather ; make rich hills, four feet apart each way ; set a pole eight or ten feet high in each ; press the beans into the soil eye down, six or eight to each pole. and when they are well up, thin out to four. A quart of Limas is sufficient for 75 or 80 hills, and a quart of Bush Beans will sow a row 100 feet long.

A rich, deep, open soil is the best suited to the culture of Beets; fresh manure is undesirable, but land that has been well manured the previous year is highly suitable. For an early supply sow in spring as soon as the ground becomes fit to work, in drills about one foot apart and two inches deep. For main crop sow the first week in May, and for winter use sow in June. When the plants have obtained three or feur leaves, thin out, so that they may stand eight or nine inches apart. Keep free from weeds by hand weeding and hoeing. Those intended for winter use may be taken up in October, and stored in dry sand, in the cellar or outhouse. Before storing leaves and fibres must be trimmed off, but care must be taken not to bruise the main root.

A favorite European vegetable, nearly allied to the Caulifiower, but more hardy and surer to head ; the seed should be sown in this district in the early part of May, and transplanted in June, farther south the sow- ing should be delayed until June or July, and the transplanting accordingly from August to October. In parts of the country where the thermometer does not fall below 20 or 25 degrees, broccoli may be had in perfection from November until March. It succeeds best in a moist and rather cool atmosphere.

Transplant in the following spring as soon as the soil will admit. For autumn and winter use, plant in the seed-bed in May and early part of June. and when six inches high transplant into rich soil, two feet apart each way for the early varieties, and three by two and a half feet for the large winter varieties. To secure the best results, the soil should not be too dry, but should be thoroughly enriched, and the crop should be hoed at least once in 10 days.

The Carrot, like other root crops, delights in a sandy loam, deeply tilled. It should never be sown on newly manured ground as forked roots are sure to be the result. It is best to sow on ground that has been well manured the previous year for some other crop, such as Celery, Potatoes, Onions or Peas, but avoiding such crops as Cabbage and Turnips, or any of the tap-rooted sections. For early or main crops sow the latter part of April; for later crops they may be sown any time until the beginning of June. Sowin rows about 15 inches apart and half an inch deep, thinning out to three or four inches between the plants.

The seeds may be sown in the open ground in April, as soon as the ground can be nicely worked. Sow about half an inch deep, and be careful to firmly press the soil over the seed; this should be done by treading over the rows with the feet after sowing; this prevents the air drving up the seed, which thereby loses its vitality and fails to germinate.

Sweet Corn may be either sown in rows, four and a half feet apart, and the seeds planted at about eight inches in rows, or planted in the hills, at distances of three or four feet each way, according to the variety grown, or the richness of the soil in which it is planted. The taller the variety or the richer the soil, the greater should be the distances apart. The first plantings in this vicinity are made about the middle of May, and successive plantings every two or three weeks until the first week in July. In more southern latitudes planting is begun a month earlier and continues a month later.

Cucumbers succeed best in warm, moist, rich, loomy ground. They should not be planted in the open air until there is a prospect of settled warm weather. Plantin hills about four feet apart each way. The hills should be previously prepared by mixing thoroughly with the soil in eacha shovel- full of well rotted manure. When all danger from insects is past, thin out the plants, leaving three or four of the strongest to each hill. The fruit should be plucked when large enough, whether required for use or not, as if left to ripen on the vines, it destroyes their productiveness. English Frame Cucumber—Per pkt.

These varieties are for growing in hotbeds, or in houses particularly constructed for forcing, = - z so that a supply can be furnished during the Cucumbers. winter months, at which time the prices are very , : renumerative. Sow seeds in November, December, or January, according to the time they are wanted for market, taking care to give plenty of air and water. It will be necessary to fertilize the pistillate flowers with the staminate in order to render the vines productive,
as owing to the absence of insects they will not produce a crop under glass the same as in the ground, where bees and other insects have free access to the flowers. z 7 ;

Endive is one of the best salads for fall and winter use. Sow for an early supply about the middle of April. As it igs used mostly in the fall months, the main sowings are made in June and Juty, from which plantations are formed at one foot apart each way in August and September. It requires no especial soil or manure, and aft-r planting is kept clear of weeds until the plant has attained its full size, when the process of blanching begins. This is effective by gathering up the leaves and tying them by their tips in a conical form with bass matting. This excludes the light and air froin the inner leaves, which in the course of three to six weeks, ac- cording to the temperature at the time, become blanched. : Another and simpler method consists in covering up the Green Curled Endive.

Kale may be grown in almost any soil, but the richer it is the more abundant the product. Sow early in Spring, in prepared beds, covering the seeds thinly and evenly; transpiant in June, and treat in the same man- ner as for Cabbage. 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 generally known.

Kohl-Rabi, or Turnip-stemmed Cabbage, is a vegetable that is not so much cultivated as it deserves to be. The stem above the ground swells into a bulb somewhat resembling a Turnip; this again is crowned withleaves. The edible part is the bulb, which is dressed and served like turnip, and is very delicate and tender when young. It is very hardy, withstands severe drought, and isa good keeper. Cultivate the same as Cabbage, but in hoeing be careful not tothrow dirt into the heart of the plant, or the buib cannot form

When six or eight inches high they may be transplanted in rows ten inches apart each way, as deep as possible; that the neck, being covered, may be bianched. If fine Leeks are desired, the ground can hardly be made too rich.

Lettuce is the most popular of all salads. Boiled, is quite equal to Spinach, and it is also sometimes used in soups. It is easy of cultivation, but likes a good rich soil. For early use, sow Simpson and Tennis Ball under glass in February and March, and transplant as soon as the ground can be worked. Later sowing may be made in the open ground for succession as long as the weather permits; thin out well, or the plants will be weak, and set in rows two feet apart and eight inches betwen the piants. The b st early plants are obtained by sowing in the open ground in September, and transplanting to cold frames the later part of October, being wintered over in the same manner as early Cabbage. Lettuce requires good ground and abundant moisture.

Melons thrive best in a moderately enriched live soil; the hilis should be six feet apart each way. Previous to planting incorporate well with the soil in each hill a couple of shovelfuls of thoroughly rotted manure; plant twelve or fifteen seeds in each hill early in May. and when well up, thin out to three or four of the most promising. Pinch off the leading shoots as the growth become too luxuriant, and if the fruit sets too numerously, thin out when young, which will increase the size of those remain- ing, and cause them to ripen quicker.

Mustard in the green state is a refreshing salad, mixed with Cress, Lettuce, or other salad plants. It is necessary to make frequent sowings of it, as it should be cut and used in a very young state, even before the first rough leaf has appeared. The seed should be sown thickly in light soil, the surface of which should be made very smooth. The seed should be pressed into the soil with the back of a clean spade, and should then be watered through the fine rose of a watering pot, without having any soil placed upon it; but the bed should be covered for a few days with a piece of cloth or mat, and in the course of six or eight days the Mustard will be fit for use, and should be cut close to the surface of the soil with a sharp knife; and no soil having been placed over the seeds, it will be found clean and free from grit.

Mushrooms should be grown either in a building especially erected for the purpose or some shed, stable or cellar, where a temperature of from 40 to 60 degrees can be Kept up in winter. To every bar- row load of fresh horse dropping add about the same weight of loam or soil of any Kind that has not been manured. Turn the heap every day, so that it is not allowed to heat violently, until you have quan-_ tity enough to form a bed of the dimensions required. Be careful that your heap is under cover, so that it can not possibly get wet.
The most convenient size for a bed is from three to four feet long and eight inches deep.
Prepare the mixture of loam and manure, making the bed in layers. and pounding down each with the back of a spade. Leave this to heat through for a few days, and as soon as the heat subsides to 90 degrees, make holes in the bed about a foot apart each way, into which put pieces of the spawn, two or three inches in diameter; fill up the holes with the compost , and at the expiration of a week or ten days the spawn will ~ have thoroughly diffused itself through the bed. Now spread == a layer of fresh soil over the heap to the depth of two inches © firm it down moderately, and cover with three or four inches of hay or straw. Examine the bed often to see that it does not get dry. When water is given it should be at a tempera- Mushrooms. ture of about 100 degrees.

The Onion thrives best in a rather strong, deep, rich, loamy soil, and, unlike most vegetables, succeeds well when culti- vated on the same ground for successive years. The ground should be deeply trenched and manured the previous autumn, and laid up in ridges during the winter to soften. As early in spring as the ground is in working order, commence oper- ations by leveling the ground with a rake, and tread firmly; sow thinly in drills about a quarter of an inch deep and one foot apart; cover with fine soil and press down with the back of a spade ora light roller. When the young plants are strong enough, thin gradually, so that they stand three or four inches apart. Keep the surface of the ground open and free from weeds by frequent hoeing, taking care not to stir the soil too
deeply nor to collect it about the growing bulbs.

Should be sown very early in spring, in beds or in lines, and the seeds, which are somewhat slow to vegetate, should be previously soaked 24 hours in warm water. The soil should be kept free from weeds, which should be extracted by the hand, so as to avoid dis- turbance to the seeds when about to germinate. As soon as the plants are large enough they should be thinned out so as to stand five or six inches apart.

Parsnips are largely used both as a garden vegetable and for the farm. They are very nutritious, and cattle fed upon them fatten rap- idly; while in cows they produce a larger yield of milk, having a rich color and affording butter of excellent quality. They succeed best in a deep rich soil that has been well manured the previous season, as manure freshly applied tends to the production of forked and ill-shaped roots. Sow the seed early in spring in drills eighteen inches apart in the garden, and three feet apart in the field, and thin the plants to six inches
in the drill. PEAS. German, Erbse ; French, Pois; Spanish, Guisantes. Extra Extra Varieties. Per Qt. Y% pk. Per pk. Per bu.

Peas come earlier to maturity in light rich soil. For general crop a deep rich loam, or strong loam, inclining to clay, is best. For early crops decomposed leaves or leaf mould should be used, or if the soil is very poor, strong manure may be employed. For general crops a good dressing should be applied, and for the dwarf growing kinds the soil can hardly be too rich. When grown as a market crop, peas are not staked, but sown in single rows, two or three inches deep, two to three feet apart, according to the vari- ety. When grown in small quantities, for private use, they are generally sown in double rows six or eight inches apart and the rows three feet apart, the tall varieties staked up by bush. For an early crop, sow
as soon as the ground can be worked, and make repeated sowings every two weeks for succession. A quart is sufficient for a row of about eighty feet.

Squashes are divided into two classes, Summer and Winter. The Summer varieties come into use about midsummer, and are eaten when the rind and flesh are young and tender. The Winter varieties are left on the vines until they are thoroughly ripe, gathered in the Fall, and stored away for Winter use. If well ripened and kept in a good cellar, they can be preserved until May. Prepare hills for the seeds by incorporating two or three shovelfuls of well rotted manure with the soil, for each hill. For the bush varieties, from three to four feet each way, and for the running sorts from six to eight feet. Eight or ten seeds should be sown to each hill, thinning out after they have attained their rough leaves, leaving three or four of the strongest plants.

Tobacco seed may be started in a hotbed, or sown in the open ground, as early in Spring as the ground can be worked. Prepare a bed in rich dry ground, with a southern exposure; the bed should be burned over to kill the seeds of weeds and wild grasses, or they will spring up before the Tobacco plants and destroy them. After this is done, rake it off fine and sow the seed. A tablespoonful is sufficient for one hundred square yards. Sow broadcast, and hand roll, or press down the soil evenly and firmly. When the young plants appear, keep free from weeds and water frequently. If the weather is dry, set out about the first of June, in land that has been heavily manured. Tobacco thrives best in a light, rich, sandy or gravelly soil. Plant about three feet apart. Look out for the “Tobacco worm,” which must be removed as fast as it appears, or it w. quickly destroy the crop.

The seed should be sown in a hotbed 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 hotbed, or removed into small pots, allowing a single plant to a pot. About the middle of May the plants may be set in the open ground, at, a distance of three to four feet apart, in hills in which a good shovelful of rotted manure has been mixed. Water fieely at the time of trans- planting, and shelter from the sun for a few days until the plants are established. Sufficient plants for a small garden may be started by sowing a few seeds in a shallow box or flower pot, and placing it in a sunny window of the room or kitchen.

For the Spring crop, commence sowing early varieties as soon as the ground can be worked, in drills fourteen inches apart; thin out the plants to five or six inches apart. Keep clear from weeds, and when the bottoms begin to enlarge, brush away the earth from about the roots to the depth of an inch or more, and give them a light dressing of wood ashes. This is the surest mode of obtaining fair and smooth Spring Turnips in old gardens, where they are almost certain to grow wormy if the earth is allowed to remain in contact with the roots. It is important to get them started very early, so that they may have time to grow of a sufficient size before very hot weather, when they will soon become tough and strong. For the Fall and main crop, sow from the middle of July to the last of August, in drills as directed for the Spring sowing. In the field, Turnips are more generally sown broadcast, though much larger crops are cbtained by drill culture.
SWEET POT AND MEDICINAL HERB SEEDS.
Herbs are valuable for culinary and medicinal purposes, but they do not always receive the atten- tion which they deserve. They are easily grown, and when preserved by drying are ready for use at any season of the year. Sow in Spring as soon as the weather is warm, and thin out as the plants grow up; or the seeds may be sown under glass and the young plants afterwards transplanted to their respective beds. The perennial kinds should occasionally be divided and transplanted in Spring.

HOW TO MAKE A LAWN.
The ground ought to be carefully prepared during the Winter, by draining if found requisite, and digging to the depth of six to twelve inches, according to the nature of the soil. The land should then be leveled and raked to remove stones, etc., and then made firm with a heavy iron roller. When the natural soil is too stony, a supply of good mould should be spread over it to the depth of two or three inches. In March or April, before sowing the seed, the ground ought to be thoroughly cleaned and made perfectly level with the iron roller. and as the subsequent appearance of the lawn depends in a great measure on tois part of the preparation, it is of the utmost importance it should be well done. The ground should then be evenly raked and the seeds sown. April and September are the best months for sowing. The seed should be sown on a calm day, at the rate of four bushels to the acra.
After the sowing nas been accomplished, the ground should be again rolled, and as soon as the young plants have attained the height of two or three inches, the whole plot should be carefully gone over with a sharp scythe, and from the months of April to October it should be mown every ten days. Mowing machines are excellent after a comparatively close turf is established; but for the first six months’ sow- ing, the scythe should be used in preference to the machine. Frequent mowing and rolling are indispen- sable to maintain the turf in good order. By adopting these means a close green sward will be obtained
in a short time.
For lawns requiring improvement, and on croquet grounds, where the turf has become bare through constant use, it is only necessary to sow fresh seed at the rate of one or two bushels to the acre, either in the Spring or Fall, using a smal! tooth rake, and rolling afterwards. A slight dressing of manure, late in Fall, will often be found beneficial in encouraging the growth of finer kinds of grasses, and helps to produce a close growing turf.

MEADOW AND PASTURE MIXTURES.
The formation of permanent and productive meadows and pastures is of great value to farmers, and has been given thorough study by numerous experts, resulting in formulas that will give good results under the varying conditions of our climate.
It is a well known fact that a heavier and more prolonged growth is produced by a mixture of many sorts of grasses than by only one or two. Some sorts do but on high dry soil while others prefer plenty of moisture. Some mature so early and others so late there is no time in the season when one sort or another is not at its best. Grass seed may be sown either early in spring or in fall, from Sept. 1st to middle of October in this latitude. Below we give formulas that we are confident will give good results.

Cultivation of Flower Seeds. HARDY ANNUALS.
No class of plants or flowers is so easy of cultivation as Hardy Annuals; their brilliant and varied colors and the readiness with w hich they adapt themselves to almost any soil or situation has rendered them general favorites,
Successive sowings may be made from March to the end of September; March, April and May are the best months for a general Summer display; June and July for Autumn blooming, and August and September for Spring flowering. The soil should be earefully prepared by being finely pulverized and made light and rich.
Sow thinly; cover with a very thin coat of fine, dry earth—the smallest seeds needing but a mere dusting to cover them—and from the first keep the plants thinned sufficientiy to prevent overcrowding, which weakens them and produces poor blooms.
HALF HARDY AND TENDER ANNUALS.
These include some of the most beautiful and varied of our Summer flowers, among which may be mentioned Aster, Balsam, Ten-Weeks’ Stocks, Phlox Drummondii and Double Zinnia, which in form, size and brilliancy of flowers, and their great diversity of color, are now brought to a high state of perfection.
Sow from the beginning of March to June; whensown in March and early part of April, sow thinly in well-drained pots, pans or boxes; place in the greenhouse or a frame where there is a mild heat, or in the absence of these, a sunny window in the house will do; cover the seeds lightly, press down the soil firmly and give a gentle watering with a fine rose water pot.
Separate the plants when large enough to handle, and finally plant out in May, as soon as the weather is sufficiently warm, where intended to flower. The-seed can be sown in the open ground in May and June.

HARDY BIENNIALS AND PERENNIALS.
These can be grown at all seasons of the year in the open garden without protection, and may there- fore be placed among the most useful of our flowering plants; their variety is almost endless, producing almost every form of flower and shade of color.
The seed may be sown from May to October, but the best time is in May and June. Select for sowing a shady, moist situation, and. in order to secure fine, strong plants, sow thinly, and as soon as large enough transplant in showery weather to nursery beds, and finally plant out in October and November: those sown in Autumn are best planted out in March or April, where intended to flower. Many Peren- nials, if sown early and treated as Annuals will fiower the first season. The Pansy, Petunia, China Pink and its several splendid varieties, and many others, do better as Annuals than Perennials.
Half Hardy Biennials and Perennials may be raised and treated in the same way as recommended for Half Hardy Annuals.
ANNUALS FOR WINTER BLOOMING.
Many Annuals are very desirable for the green house for Winter b looming; these should be sown in July or August. The most important are Browallia, Candytuft, German Stocks, Lobelia, Mignonette, Schizanthus, Sweet Alyssum and Dwarf Nasturtiums. Many varieties as well as the above may be sown in the Fall and Winter ior blooming early in the Spring, such as Acroclinium, Ageratum, Antirrhinum, Apple-scented Geranium, China Pinks, Dianthus, Mimulus, Myosotis, Pansy, Petunias, Phlox Drummondii Salpiglossis, Salvia, Verbena, Vinca and others.

ROSES, BULBS AND PLANTS.
In the proper season for planting, we will have in stock fine two-year- old Rose plants of the leading varieties, hardy and ever bloomers, ready to produce a full crop of blooms the first summer. Hybrid Perpetuals are considered the most valuable of all Roses. They are chiefly dis- tinguished for their vigorous growth, fine large flowers and for being en- tirely hardy. They are particularly valuable for permanent beds and borders in the Northern and Middle States. Many of them flower the entire summer; others flowering } through the month of June, and , again in August and September. | The flowers are large, often measur- ing five to six inches in diameter, very fragrent, and of all the colors known tothe Rose. If you wish to enjoy a glorious sight, set out a row of these Roses in a trench filled with well rotted manure and strong soil (well mixed) and you will be well ee BE N° ae A | repaid. Set the plants 15 to 18 inches =“ apart, taking care to set the plants deeply, at least two inches above the first branches, pounding the soil firmly about the roots. We also carry in stock summer flowering bulbs; Gladioli; the easiest grown and most attractive summer flowering bulb. Invaluable for cut flower decorations; will last a week

THE OLE OLSEN LAWN RAKE. (PATENT APPLIED FOR)
Is made on Scientific Principles Combining Lightness, Neatness—Strength and Durability.
A Leading Seller for 1905.
The knob on end of teeth, set by our patent process, absolutely prevents the teeth from dropping out
Note particularly curved head. Teeth are close set and clinched.
Price 40c.
The Curved Head admits of only four tosix teeth coming in contact with the surface of the lawn, the teeth on either side of the center performing their work perfectly, without touching or tearing up the lawn. This feature makes the Ole Olsen Rake unapproachable for light draught; also the head being curved, in raking throws the materials toward center of rake an:t makes it easy to handle. The Rakes are also furnished when desired with Straight Iieads.
The Teeth are made of extra selected stock, and so constructed that when driven into the head they will never shrink from place and cannot fall out. They have an even taper, and in use acquire a high polish. They cannot bend, and therefore will not clog and bind like a metal tooth.

\, Darnell's Patent Furrower and Marker
\ In presenting the numerous merits of this invaluable little implement we would 3 glad to draw a comparison with another of its kind, but we have seen or heard of nothing but the ordinary scratch sleds which make a mere mark as a guide for the plow which fol- lows, thus increasing the work instead of lessen- ing it. We have a genial ever-borrowing neighbor, how- ever, with whom we might com- pare notes, and we will just bring him forward with his plow which he is inclined to think is good enough yet. We think you will not fail to notice the difference.
We ride while he walks.
We bring into requisition the services of our boy, if busy our- selves, while nothing short of a man, and a good one, too, can han- dle the plow.
We open two furrows, while he opens one in clean ground, an do it better.

The New Model Seed Drill,
The Most Perfect Drill in America. Price, $6.98.
The record of the “New Model” has been so entirely satisfactory, and its place as one of the leading drills has become so firmly estab- lished, that we are almost tempted to discard the word “New.” It is surprising to see how quickly it has been adopted by the seedmen and market gardeners as an old friend.

Before the advent of the Mann Cutter, bones for poultry food were broken up with a hammer or reduced in mills constructed with chilled or cast-iron plates. i

The “Water Witch” Lawn Sprinkler.
In constructing this device the main object was to produce a sprinkler that would scatter the water more evenly and overa larger area than would any other sprinkler. This purpose has been fully realized in the ‘* Water Witch.’’
The water flows through the nozzle with unimpededé@ force, and is divided and deflected by the two lips of the swivel piece, which it causes to revolve rapidly scattering the water in fime drops and evenly over a circular area of t=wentyefive to forty feet diameter.

Don’t Blame the Hen; Use Rust’s Egg Producer.
So exact are the proportions of Rust’s Egg Producer that everything therein is utilized by fowls and nothing goes to waste. This makes it the most economical as well as the most perfect producer of eggs known, its cost being only one cent every two or three weeks, and this, when fed every day.
And you don’t need to feed it every day. To increase egg-production, feed it every morning. To make egg fertile and forthcoming chicks vigorous, feed to the entire flock. To shorten the moulting period, feed half of the usual quantity two or three times a week.
When we consider the constantly increasing demand for eggs, the exceedingly small cost of and wonderful re- sults effected by Rust’s Egg Producer, where can we look for so splendid an investment, of itS size, as ina flock of fowls and a quantity of Rust’s Egg Producer? Being health-producing as well as egy-producing, it seems, as a writer justly remarks, to completely ‘‘fill the bill.”
Eggs are often dear, but Rust’s Egg Producer is always cheap. When eggs are dear use Rust’s Egg Pro- ducer. because they bring good prices. When eggs are cheap, use it because you need lots of eggs to get lots of money. It paysto feed it all the year around, and the most enterprising poultry keepers do this. The most enterprising are the most successful in any business.
