SEED CATALOGUE. Qaim

TO OUR FRIENDS AND PATRONS:
N PRESENTING OUR GENERAL CATALOGUE for the season of 1905, we

thank our customers for their liberal support with which they have hitherto
favored us, and assure them it will be our aim to merit a continuance of
their patronage with quality and care.

Our NOVELTY, SELECTIONS ‘are all. of.recent. miroduction and;a@enesal
merit, obtaining the highest awards at the various exhibitions when shown in com-
petition.

NON-WARRANTY.. All Seeds are carefully tested so that their growth is
assured. Should a failure however occur in the growth of any of our seeds due
to their germanating qualities we are ready to duplicate the order gratis, upon so
doing all our responsibility ceases. We inno way guarantee or warrant a crop or
will we be responsible for its failure in any way.

ORDERING. | After due perusal of the various varieties of seeds, etc., we re-
spectfully ask you to place your orders as early as possible so as to insure po tas
and careful attention.

PRICES. Prices are made according to the market of the Fall preceding this
issue and are presumably correct at the time of the issue of this book. The crops
having been harvested and a much different condition exists. We find Peas stocks
are most complete, that the market is well supplied, therefore the prices will be
much below the catalogue prices. The price of corn is much reduced, the quality
is excellent. The year of 1904 was most disastrous to the planter due to the wet
season of 1903, when corn did not mature, or Puss in the wet Fall. Onion seeds will
be much lower than in the past, there being too many bulbs on the market of 1904.
The grower put them in for seed and the price is down. The high prices of onions
at this time warrants liberal planting. Onion sets are subject to the conditions of
our winter. Months.in advance our stock is secured and prices copes upon their
cood keeping. Ruling prices in this book.

BEANS. The most disastrous condition in String Beans. 50 to 75 per cent. fail-
ure in 1904 crops, find the market bare of seeds of many kinds, notwithstanding
our contract order that we trebled over former orders, reports come to us that we
will have our usual amount. We regret that prices must rule high and will be
made according to demand and supply.

COMPETITION. Catalogue prices from all parts come to you. We are open to
competition and want your trade. We solicit it on the grounds of ability to serve
you. Second to none as to quality and variety. This does not always apply to the
seed line but to our general line of Farm, Garden and Lawn Requisites, Hardware,
Paints, and General Supplies. No house equal in New England with the varieties
and care of its patrons.

Soliciting a continuance of your esteemed commands, we remain

SPRING, 1904, BULB CATALOGUE.

GLADIOLUS.

AUGUSTA, Pure White.

This is a variety worthy of every attention.
The individual flower is very large, has much
substance and lays close to the stems when
cut, which makes it an excellent variety for
shipping to market, as they can be packed
closely without injury to the flower. They
spread and open out readily when put in water.

It will stand slow forcing and if the flowers
are brought in before outdoor Gladiolus are
ready, they command very high prices. We
have watched the variety for a-number of
years, but were never before able to get a
sufficient quantity of bulbs to offer it to the
commercial grower at a reasonable price. It
is a sure money-maker and no one will be
disappointed who gives it a trial.

Prices—Selected bulbs, $1.50 doz., $7.50 per
100.

GLADIOLUS IN MIXTURE.

Our Gladiolus bulbs are all Eastern grown
and are not to be confused with cheap Western
stock. Much of the latter contain diseased and
bulbs of very poor quality. Anyone receiving
our bulbs will readily recognize the difference
by their large, sound and healthy appearance.

Except where noted, our Gladiolus bulbs are
extra selected size, measuring 5 to 8 inches
in circumference.

(Special prices on large’ quantities).

grown specially for us.and can be recom--

mended. The bulbs are all selected and con-

no better mixture of white and light Gladi-
olus than this sold. The bulbs are all se-

Dwarf French or Crozy GANNAS,

No plant of late years has become more
popular and universally liked than the Canna,
and it is a strange fact that whatever increased
demand was anticipated by the trade, each
year there has been a shortage of the best
known sorts.

ORDER EARLY. Although we have very
large quantities of most varieties, it is. not
wise to delay ordering—some sorts, being in
greater demand than others, run short, which
will prevent you securing a collection of the
standard and best kinds at these very ad-
vantageous prices.

ALSACE. The White Canna;
phur-yellow, changing very

creamy white, without spots. °

and it blooms more freely than Egandale,
which variety it resembles in habit.

Canna; has been grown to the height of 8
ft. II in., with bright scarlet flowers of fair
size. When large masses of dark foliage
are required this Canna can fill a long-felt
want; being a fine flowering variety will add
to its value. The foliage is simply superb.

to a height of 6 to 8 feet, with immense,
massive, tropical foliage. A single plant of
this variety attracts instant attention.

flowering plant.

Our bulbs are all large, measuring 114 inches
and upward in diameter. We do not handle
second size or small bulbs.

For a time it was generally supposed these
could not be grown in the open successfully,
but extensive plantings of them in various
sections of the country have demonstrated
their adaptability for this purpose. Nothing
can exceed the brilliancy and richness of their
flowers. From the time the first blossom ap-

PANSY--Weaver’s Superb Mixture.

This distinct strain of Pansy seed has
been perfected by one of the greatest
Pansy experts in the world, under the
most watchful care and attention. Owing
to the high strain, the seeds are not pro-
duced so abundantly as in other varieties.
The flowers are exceedingly large, and of
marvelous substance, compared with many
other strains, they are of perfect form.
This mixture includes all the new and
recent introduced sorts, as well as all the
best old varieties.

NEW STAR PETUNIAS.

A new creation of this popular flower
has been produced by long and careful
cross-fertilization. The flower is about 2%

ins. in diam. The color is a dark crimson-|\§

maroon, with a rich velvety texture, justly
pronounced equal to that of the Pansy.
Showing through the ground color are vio-
let veinings. From the center starts the
points of a five-ray ed star, which broadens
half way up, narrowing to a point at the
margin of the flower. This star is a very
light blush pink, some almost white, which
deepens in color at margin. Pkt. 15¢

COMET ASTER —EMPRESS FREDERICK.

COMET ASTER — Empress Frederick.

Among the many varieties of Dwarf

Comet Aster lately introduced, this one is

the best. It flowers are also of the purest
white, 4 to 5 inches in diameter, and of the
most refined and elegant globular form, but
the feature which constitutes its special
merit is the compact, sturdy and thick-set
habit of the plant, which makes it partic-
ularly suitable for growing in pots. The
strong main stem bears a superb flower of
extra size, which is surrounded and partly
over-topped by other fine globular blooms
borne on side shoots to the number of 8
to12. A magnificent general effect is thus
produced, and as a pct Aster it will be un-
surpassed. We consider this grand nov-
elty one of our best introductions, and
predict for it a great future.

ASTER — Lady Aster.

Light blue and pure white, comet-flow-
ered: Through its elegant habit and great
profusion of bloom undoubtedly the most
graceful of all classes of this favorite flower,
and entirely distinct by reason of its nar-
tow, pale green leaves; the Lady Aster
has hitherto been represented by a few

which comes absolutely true from seed,

of this favorite flower. Pkt. 25c.

ASTER — Sinensis.

Single-flowering China Aster. A favor-

Such plantings are usually ready for trans-
planting to the open ground in from 3 to 4
weeks. Transplanting, when practical, should
be done in the evening, into hills 4 ft. apart
each way. Thin out to about 4 plants to each
hill when established. The seed may be plant-
ed in hills late in May, thus giving a succes-

MUSHROOM.

= Mushrooms may be
grown in cellars,
houses, sheds, or un-
der greenhouse
benches. The ama-
teur, however, is more
likely to meet with
success in cellars than
elsewhere, as the cool
moistures of the at-
mosphere and the un-
iform temperature are

3 im more congenial to the
growth of this vegetable than in the structure
above ground. The temperature should range
between fifty-five and sixty degrees. Use a
mixture of fresh horse droppings and loam
that has no manure in it. Before placing this
mixture in the bed turn it over every day for
a week so that it does not heat violently, and
be careful to keep it under cover so that it
cannot get wet. Then begin to make the bed
by spreading thin layers of the mixture, and
pound each firm until you have in all a depth
of eight to ten inches; leave it thus for a few

. days until the heat runs up to too degrees or

over, and then declines to 90 degrees; when
this point is reached it is ready for spawning,
which is done bv making holes, three or four
inches deep and 12 inches apart each way:
into each hole put a piece of spawn about as
large as a hen’s egg, and fill in the hole with
compost. At the end of ten or 12 days the
snawn will have run through the whole bed.
There should then be spread over the entire
surface ahout two inches of fresh loam.
Over all plece 2 few inches of straw. All that
remains to be done is to keep the temperature
as near 60 degrees as possible; it should never
be allowed to fall below 50 devrees, or the
crops wil] be both reduced and delayed. Or-
dinarily. if the conditions are right. mush-
rooms will appear in about six weeks, and
continue to come for about a month. In the
event of the surface of the bed becoming very
dry, sprinkle it freelv with tenid water. After
the crop has been taken off the bed, it should
receive a dressing of fresh Ioam to a depth
of half an inch. thoroughly firmed. over the
entire surface, and when drv a sprinkling with
water 2s above recommended, and a second
crop will soon be had.

MUSHROOM.

Mushrooms may be
grown in _ cellars,
houses, sheds, or un-
detpe2reenmhouse
benches. The ama-
teur, however, is more
likely to meet with
success in cellars than
elsewhere, as the cool
moistures of the at-
mosphere and the un-
iform temperature are

SSS more congenial to the
growth of this vegetable than in the structure
above ground. The temperature should range
between fifty-five and sixty degrees. Use a
mixture of fresh horse droppings and loam
that has no manure in it. Before placing this
mixture in the bed turn it over every day for
a week so that it does not heat violently, and
be careful to keep it under cover so that it
cannot get wet. Then begin to make the bed
by spreading thin layers of the mixture, and
pound each firm until you have in all a depth
of eight to ten inches; leave it thus for a few
days until the heat runs up to 100 degrees or
over, and then declines to 90 degrees; when
this point is reached it is ready for spawning,
which is done by making holes, three or four
inches deep and 12 inches apart each way:
into each hole put a piece of spawn about as
large as a hen’s egg, and fill in the hole with
compost. At the end of ten or 12 days the
spawn will have run through the whole bed.
There should then be spread over the entire
surface about two inches of fresh loam.
Over all place a few inches of straw. All that
remains to be done is to keep the temperature
as near 60 degrees as possible; it should never
be aliowed to fall below 50 degrees, or the
crops will be both reduced and delayed. Or-
dinarily, if the conditions are right. mush-
rooms will appear in about six weeks, and
continue to come for about a month. In the
event of the surface of the bed becoming very
dry, sprinkle it freely with tepid water. After
the crop has been taken off the bed, it should
receive a dressing of fresh Ioam to a depth
of half an inch, thoroughly firmed, over the
entire surface, and when drv a sprinkling with
water as above recommended, and a second
crop will soon be had.

LAWN MIXTURES.

Weaver’s Bellevue Avenue Lawn Mixture.

For permanence, for beauty under all cir-
cumstances, and for value, we are confident
Bellevue Avenue Lawn Mixture will meet all
requirements. By a judicious use of some of
the standard lawn grasses of America, we are
enabled to offer to our customers a mixture
which, for all good staying qualities, is un-
surpassed. Modern lawns demand grasses
that are able to stand the wear and tear con-
sequent to lawn tennis, croquet, etc.

TESTIMONIALS.

Weaver’s Bellevue Avenue Lawn Mixture.

I have for the last two years used the
“Bellevue Avenue’ Lawn Mixture, and can
cheerfully say that I have found it very satis-
factory, both for renovating and also for
making a new lawn. Last season I subsoiled
the lawn at “The Elms,” using for a portion of
it fertilizer and seed procured from your firm,
at the rate of 1% tons fertilizer and 6%
bushels of “Bellevue Avenue” Lawn Mixture
per acre. The seed was sown April 26, and
we started mowing the first week in June. Its
quality’ and color are excellent. Please accept
my thanks. Very truly,

BRUCE BUTTERTON,
Gardener for E. J. Berwind, Esgq.,
Newport, R. I.

I have at different time used large quantities
of the “Bellevue Avenue” Lawn Mixture, and
find it meets all the requirements of a perfect
and at all times velvety lawn. Later have used
it in reconstructing the grounds of Mr. John H.
Davies’ handsome place on Bellevue Avenue,
where it has given the best results.

TESTIMONIALS.

Weaver’s Bellevue Avenue Lawn Mixture.

I. have for the last two years used the
“Bellevue Avenue” Lawn Mixture, and can
cheerfully say that I have found it very satis-
factory, both for renovating and also for
making a new lawn. Last season I subsoiled
the lawn at “The Elms,” using for a portion of
it fertilizer and seed procured from your firm,
at the rate of 1% tons fertilizer and 6%
bushels of “Bellevue Avenue” Lawn Mixture
per acre. The seed was sown April 26, and
we started mowing the first week in June. Its
quality, and color are excellent. Please accept
my thanks. Very truly,

Bikew Gia bw a aN
Gardener for E. J. Berwind, Esgq.,
Newport, R. I.

I have at different time used large quantities
of the “Bellevue Avenue” Lawn Mixture, and
find it meets all the requirements of a perfect
and at all times velvety lawn. Later have used
it in reconstructing the grounds of Mr. John H.
Davies’ handsome place on Bellevue Avenue,
where it has given the best results.

CLOVERS.

These are subject to market prices. Prices on
application.

Red Clover (Trifolium pratense). The most
valuable variety. Sow in fall or spring.

Mammoth Red Clover (Trifolium pratense
perenne). An enormous yielder, stronger
grower than the common Red Clovers.

White Clover (Trifolium repens). Produces
a dense and dwarf herbage greatly relished by
all kinds of stock. It may also be used very
efficaciously for lawns.

Alsyke, or Hybrid Clover (Trifolium hybri-
dum). A most excellent variety for permanent
pastures, especially on lands that have become
Red Clover sick. Strong grower, and yields
an enormous crop.

Yellow Trefoil (Medica lupulina).
tensively grown in this country.
about the same treatment as clover.

Lucerne, or Alfalfa (Medicago Sativa). Re-
quires a deep, light soil. In the barren and
sandy regions of the West and South this has
proved a very valuable forage plant. Stock of
all kinds eat it readily, both in the green state
and when made into hay. Should be sown in
the spring to secure a good stand before win-
ter. Sow about 20 pounds to the acre. It is
also good for reclaiming spent lands. Fine for
bees, increasing the quantity and quality of
the honey.

Bokara Clover (Melilotus alba). A strong,
growing sort, with white flowers, good for
bees; also good for plowing in green, as it
contains a large percentage of nitrogen.

Japanese Clover (Lespedezia striata). Sow
in spring. This plant contains a large amount
of nitrogen, and is recommended for plowing
under as a fertilizer. It is not hardy in this
locality.

Crimson or Scarlet Clover (Trifolium incar-
natum). Sow from June to October, at the
rate of I5 to 20 pounds per acre. For hay
purposes it should be cut just when coming

Requires

into flower. If sown with Italian Rye Grass,
which comes fit to cut at the same time, it
makes splendid hay. A highly valuable plant
for reclaiming spent lands.

Saintfoin, Esparsette, or Holy Clover (Hedy-
sarum onobrychis). This is an excellent var-
iety in some parts of the West and South. It
is considered next to Vetches for milch cows
in increasing the quantity and quality of the
milk, and produces more cream. When dry
and made into hay, horses are very fond of it.
It does best on a calcareous soil.

MISCELLANEOUS FARM AND FORAGE
PLANT SEEDS.

Beans Soja (Soja hispida). A very valuable
forage plant; also for reclaiming spent lands;
sow at the rate of about % bushel per acre
broadcast. 20c.

Yellow Lupin (Lupinus lutens). Of the
Leguminose family, and useful as a reclaimer
for spent Jands, to be plowed under green. I5c.

Cow Peas. This Legumine is a very valu-
able forage plant in the South and West, im-
mense crops being taken, and when cured and
made in dry fodder, all kinds of stock eat it
readily. It is a valuable plant for reclaiming
lands that have run out, drawing the nitrogen
irom the air through the leaves and roots into

the soil. consequently has great fertilizing
capabilities. At market prices.
Canada Field Peas. Subject to market

prices.

Spring Tares (Vicia sativa). This is one of
the most valuable forage plants known. Any
stock will eat it in its green or dry state, and
as a renovator or reclaimer of spent lands it is
unsurpassed. For early spring forage there is
no crop that will pay the farmer better. Should
be sown as early as you can work the ground,
and get it seeded. $3.25 per bushel.

Winter Tares, or Sand Vetch (Vicia Villosa).
Another of this valuable leguminoid. This
variety is perfectly hardy. It will also succeed
on any poor soil, and produce more feed per
acre than any other crop. This plant, accord-
ing to analysis, shows the highest percentage

of any forage crop grown, in nitrogen, potash,

phosphoric acid, etc., hence its value to the
farmer. $7.00 per bushel.

Rape Dwarf Essex (Brassica Napus Linn).
True stock. Here is a forage plant that is
indispensable to the farmer. There is no stock
kept by the farmer but what eat it with a
relish, even to poultry. For hogs and sheep
there is no other forage plant of so great value,
as it produces plenty of herbage the whole of
the summer, and right through the fall, until
frosts destroy the leaves. Hogs grow fat upon
it without corn, and the same is applicable ta
sheep, regarding its feeding qualities, while it
greatly improves the quantity and quality of
the wool. After sowing, it may be stocked

fumigating use one ounce to every two thou-
sand cubic feet. In large houses the fumiga-
tors should be set thirty feet apart, so as to
equalize the distribution of the vapor. It is
advisable to have a thoroughly moist atmos-
phere in the house before fumigating. As soon
as the fumigators are going, the person in
charge should leave the house and not re-enter
in less time than two or three hours.

Price of ‘ Nicoticide:" 4 ‘oz. ‘bottle, yYaesa
pint, $1.25, and 1 pint $2.50 each. Lamp and
outfit, 50c each. In 1 gal. cans, $18.00 each.

Notice——To measure a house, multiply the
length by the breadth, then multiply the whole
by the average height. To ascertain the aver-
age height, add the measurements from the
floor to the ridge or highest place, and the
floor to the gutter together, and divide by two.

BUG DEATH.

Bug Death is a non-poisonous article that ef:
fectually takes the place of Paris Green and
other dangerous insect powders.

It is sure death to the Potato, Squash and
Cucumber Bugs, Currant and Tomato Worms,
and many other plant-eating pests.

It is a plant food of great merit, a benefit
instead of injury to all plants, and preventive
of blight or rust to the potato tops, keeping
the tops healthy until the potato fully matures,
which means a more starchy and perfect
potato, less liable to rot.

{t may be applied dry or in a liquid form.

If farmers use nothing else but Bug Death
on their potato tops or vines they may plant
peas or beans in connection with the potatoes,
even in the same row (as a great many did
before they were obliged to use Paris Green
and other dangerous poisons for killing bugs),
and rest assured no harm can come from Bug
Death, but on the other hand will greatly
benefit, even make the plant grow better.

Use Bug Death liberally on rose bushes.

marvelous. It is the best powder on the

SPRAYING RECIPES AND HOW TO USE THEM.

The following brief directions for the spraying of Fruits and Vegetables have been com-
piled as the result of several years’ experimenting with different materials, and it is believed
they can be followed without injury to the crops and with profit to the owner.

It will pay to spray all fruit plans early in the spring with copper sulphate solution, and the
second and third applications, as given, can generally be made with profit. Never spray with
arsenites while the trees are in blossom, as the bees will be poisoned; they are necessary to

fertilize the flowers.

Copper Sulphate, 6
water, 40

Bordeaux Mixture.
pounds; quick-lime, 4 pounds;
gallons.

Dissolve the copper sulphate by putting it
in a bag of coarse cloth, and hanging this in
a vessel holding at least four gallons, so that
it is just covered by the water. Use an earthen
or wooden vessel; shake the lime in an equal
amount of water, then mix the two, and add
enough water to make 4o gallons. It is then
ready for immediate use. For rots, molds,
mildews, and all fungous growths.

Paris Green. Paris green, one pound; water,
250 gallons. If this mixture is to be on peach
trees, one pound of quick-lime should be added.
Repeated applications will injure most foliage,
unless lime is added. Paris Green and Bor-
deaux Mixture can be applied together with
perfect safety. The action of neither is weak-
ened, and the Paris Green loses all caustic
properties.

Copper Sulphate Solution. Copper Sulphate,
I pound; water, 25 gallons. Dissolve, then it
is ready for use. This should never be applied
to foliage, but must be used before the buds
break. For peaches and nectarines, use 25
gallons of water. For fungous diseases.

London Purple. This is used in the same
proportions as Paris Green, but as it is more
caustic, it should be applied with the lime or
with Bordeaux Mixture. Do not use it on
peach or plum trees.

Emulsion to Kill Elm Beetle. (Dissolve in
water and strain). Flour, 6 pounds; London
- purple, 1 pound; kerosene emulsion, I gallon;
soap, % pound; water, 100 gallons.

The above preparation is recommended by
the Rhode Island Experiment Station for the
destruction of the Elm Beetle (Galleruca
Xanphomelana). It should be applied with a
force pump having a fine spray.

Kerosene Emulsion. Soft soap, one quart;
kerosene, I pint; water, 6 to II quarts. Warm
the soap until it becomes liquified, remove
from near the fire, add the kerosene, and agi-
tate rapidly with a force pump for 5 to Io
minutes, until it becomes a homogeneous
creamy mass, from which the kerosene will

not separate on standing. Dilute with water,
so that the kerosene will be I-15th to 1I-25th
of the entire mixture. If properly prepared,
it can be used with safety upon nearly all
plants, except squashes, melons, cucumbers,
and others of a squash family. A remedy for
all sucking insects, and for all others with soft
bodies with which it can be brought in contact.

Whale Oil Soap Compound. Use 4 to 5
cunces of this soap to It gallon of water for
above insects indoors. For delicate plants use
2 to 3 ounces to I gallon of water. Sure death
to San Jose scale on fruit trees, by using 2
pounds of this soap to I gallon of water, either
out-doors or in peach houses and graperies.

Arsenate of Lead is the best Insecticide
known for Leaf-Eating Insects. Because: It
kills quickly, does not injure the most delicate
foliage. For 6 years it has been used by the
Massachusetts Board of Agriculture against
the Gypsy Moth, it being the only known
Insecticide which will destroy that pest. In
all parts of the United States entomologists
have found Arsenate of Lead to be a perfect
remedy for leaf-eating insects, and unhesitat-
ingly recommend its use to agriculturalists.
It can be used for Caterpillar, Bud Moth, Cod-
ding Moth, Canker Worm, Pear Slug, Cherry
Slug, Elm Leaf Beetle, Asparagus Beetle,
Potato Beetle, Currant Worm, Cranberry
Worm.

CHOICE IMPORTED AND RELIABLE

first requisite is RELIABLE SEEDS; we spare no pains or expense to procure the VERY BEST.

A trial of our seeds will do more to establish this fact than any statement by us would be likely to
do. Having obtained the seeds desired for planting, procure suitable boxes or pans, in the bottom of
which put pieces of broken pots for drainage, and fill with fine, porous soil; level it carefully and press
lightly, so that a comparatively smooth surface may be obtained. Water the surface with a fine hose,
and sow the seed as evenly as possible. Cover with a light, fine soil toa depth twice the diameter of
the seed. Very fine seeds require little or no covering at all,a mere pressing into the soil in many cases
being sufficient. A pane of glass or piece of paper should be put over them after sowing, to retain the
moisture, which will generally be sufficient to cause germination, and will prevent the soil from crust-
ing over. Watering is one of the most important parts of the business after the seeds are sown, and
must be attended to with care and punctuality, for if the soil is allowed to become dry when the seeds
are at the point of germinating you will certainly lose your crop, and this neglect is where seeds many
times are blamed when it is virtually through the incompetency of the person in charge. When the
young plants are large enough to handle they should be transplanted into positions desirable, boxes,
pots, pans, into frames, or into the open garden, as circumstances demands.

DWARF NASTURTIUM—TROPCOLUM NANUS.

NASTURTIUM.

The Nasturtium is one of our leading Sum-
mer flowers. From the largely increasing
sales yearly, is proof of the high standard and
quality of this very fashionable annual. The
great variety and brilliancy in the colors of the
Howers are remarkable, and attractive and
free-flowering to a degree almost beyond
recognition. The tall growing kinds are in-
dispensable for covering trellis work, verandas,
etc. The dwarf-growing kinds are suitable for
large beds, herbaceous borders, and massing
for effect in colors on large lawns or parks,
where color effect is required. The Lobbi-
anum class are still more dwarf and compact
in their growth and may be used with marvel-
lous effect in the small garden where brilliant
color effect is desired in small space, for they
are so floriferous as to almost hide the green
or sometimes dark red foliage. A peculiarity
not generally known is, that under certain
conditions of the atmosphere the flowers have
the power of emitting a phosphorescence, or
like electric sparks in the evening.

SWEET PEAS.
Lathyrus Odorata.

It is unnecessary to say much
about these lovely, fragrant
flowers, their universal favorit-
ism 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 growth
before the warm weather comes.
Prepare the ground by thor-
oughly working in a large quan-
tity of well-rotted manure. Make
a trench 6 inches deep; in this
sow the seed and cover 2 inches
deep. As soon as the plants be-
gin to show through, fill in the
trench to near the top’ of the
shools, and continue until the .
trench is level with the sides;
this will secure a deep planting
without the bad effects of deep
covering of the seed at first, and
so enable the plants to bloom
continually through the heat of
summer. As the flowers come
into full bloom they should be
cut off, for if. the pods are al-
lowed to form, the plants will
stop blooming.

Weaver’s Newport Favorite
is a mixture which has given
universal satisfaction wherever
planted. This year we have
added many of the new varie-
ties, which will raise the stand-
ard even higher than in former
years. A large percentage of
the mixture is light colors.

THE GEO. A. WEAVER CO.’S COLLECTION

OF THE

NEW CACTUS DAHLIAS FOR 1904.

The Dahlia, named in honor of Dr. Dahl, a celebrated Swedish botanist, is a half-hardy herbaceous
plant, a native of Mexico and Central America. The first notice we have of the of the Dahlia being
brought into cultivation was in 1789, when it was imported to England from Spain, but this importation
was all lost. A second importation is recorded about 1800, which shared the same fate; however, about
1815 an importation from France met with better success, and which is the results of the beautiful and
charming varieties we have today. The first named varieties were Dahlia variabilis (which is synony-
mous with D. crocata and superflua), with semi-double flowers. Dahlia coccinea (syn. with D. biden-
tifolia and Georgianna Cervantesii), which produced single flowers. From this time, enterprising
growers have been continually importing varieties and improving the old ones by hybridization and high
cultivation. Between the years of about 1860 and 1870, we have the varieties of Imperialis and Jaurezii,
long-pointed petal varieties, imported from Mexico, and from these and the many beautiful collections
in the hands of professional growers, the forms of the decorative and quilled types of the elegantly
formed Cactus Dahlias of the present day have been produced, and are likely ina great measure to
supersede that beautiful flower, (rightly dubbed the Queen of Autumn, the Chrysanthemum; as they
fill a place in the late Summer and early Autumn that the Chrysanthemum cannot do, hence the value
and appreciation as the most decorative flower by the aristocracy of this country. Within the last few
years gigantic strides has been made in this beautiful type of flowers, in distinct and brilliant colors
which are gorgeous under artificial light. Then again, the size and formation of the quilled types are
marvellous productions of beauty, appearing so light and graceful, that even the massive size of the
individual flowers of 10 to 12 inches in diameter 1s not objected to, when the beautiful airyness of the
flower is seen. The forms of the flowers of the new varieties now being sent out show immense long
curled petals, and very large flowers, with incurved petals like a huge Japanese Chrysanthemum. It
is the general opinion of connoiseurs of this lovely class, that the decorative types will soon have to
succumb to their more graceful form of their confreres, and only be seen in collections, the same as
the classic show and fancy kinds.

Propagation and Cultivation, The Dahlia may be increased by raising seedlings; this system is
only practiced for new varieties, where the golden egg is sought for. Cuttings are the usual system
of propagation. In about February the stools of the last year may be brought out and placed in a good
bottom heat, covering the tubers with soil, but leaving the crown exposed to the light. Light daily
syringings are requisite to induce the young growth, which may be removed when it has about three
joints. Prepare some light leaf mold and sand and pot the cuttings singiy in small pots, plunging
them in a close frame with bottom heat, when roots will soon be formed, when they will require re-
potting into some stronger soil and hardening off. The tops of these cuttings may be taken off and
rooted when large enough. Division by roots is also practiced where the convenience of a hot-bed is
not come-at-able, and the single tubers placed in pots or boxes make very strong and vigorous plants
by time of the planting season. Increasing by grafting is also adopted, sometimes, but as a rule this
system is only used in saving new varieties through the Winter time.

When the season for planting out arrives the ground where the Dahlias are to be planted should be
DEEPLY TRENCHED,and if the sort is poor give it a good dressing of well-rotted manure, but manure
is not recommended otherwise; for if the ground is too rich it will encourage an over-luxuriant growth
of foliage to the detriment of the flowers. If flowers for exhibition purposes are wanted dis-budding
must be attended to, and when showing plenty of flower a liberal supply of manure water may be given
once or twice a week, according to the judgment of the grower. In planting out it is advisable to give
them plenty of room, about four feet between each plant and 6 feet between the rows; it is advisable
for the grower to become acquainted with the height and growth of each variety, as this may enable
him to use better judgment in planting.

Storing. The tubers may remain in the ground until after frost has cut the leaves and flowers.
Cut the tops off and lay them over the roots for a few days; choose a fine day for taking up the roots,
shake the soil from them and store in a dry, cool but frost-proof room. Examine once or twice during
Winter, and if any of the tubers are damping remove them, as they will infect others. This is all that
is necessary until the following spring.
