E THINK we have obtained our aim, which was to condense the A W list of seeds and plants mostly appropriated to our Western country. Some Seedsmen offer each year, in great numbers, novelties, from every part of the globe, which they claim will eclipse all the other varieties known, and which novelties they sell at exorbitantly high prices. Such catalogues are only enjoyed by people . who like to be humbugged. ; . Our aim is to offer you only what we know, through our long experi- ence in this part of our great country, to be perfectly adapted to our cli- mate and soil, and leave out all that may be a good money making for seedsmen, but as a rule is an expensive experiment to the market gardener. In selecting our stock we have spared neither money nor time, but have secured the best that can be procured. We have included in this : en list vegetables and. fiowers that have, after several years, proven to be a success. The importance of planting is the first consideration. Remember, Poor seeds, Poor crops if any crops at all, and cheap seeds are dear at any price. Get only the best and you~ can be sure you will get it I through us. Seeds of the best quality are apt to fail through improper treatment by sowing the seed too deep or too shallow, in too wet or too dry soil. \ They differ greatly as to the temperature required for germination. Some will germinate rapidly at a certain temperature, while others, if sown under the same conditions, are apt to decay. The young plants are liable to various accidents, cold or dry air may check their growth, or destroy them. Insects above and below the ground may attack them, and a great many other contingencies may arise to prevent the best seeds from giving satisfaction, and for all these reasons it is impractical to GUARANTEE seeds.' - j We give no WARRANTY, expressed or implied, as to description, quality, productiveness or any other matter, of any seeds, bulbs or plants we send out, and we will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods on these tefms, they are at once to be returned. A FEW HINTS ON MAKING A GARDEN The soil for a vegetable or flower garden should be free from stones or stumps and easily cultivated. Wet land, that cannot be drained, should be avoided, as all crops suffer more from too much water than from drought. Land which has a gently rolling or undu- lating surface, with a southern exposure, is the most desirable for general gardening oper- ations, since it receives the full sunlight and allows the most perfect control of the water that falls upon it. It is not absolutely necessary that the exposure should be a southern, as good gardens are grown in any exposure, but a southern exposed ground can be worked sooner in the spring and, by so. doing, raise 2 crops a year on the same ground. A garden should be cultivated often, as cultivation prevents evaporation and so saves the moisture in it. Water should not be applied unless the crop is suffering for it. When ever the garden has been irrigated it should be cultivated, aS soon as possible, to prevent the soil from baking. The water must be applied enough to nicely moisten the land, but avoid getting it water-soaked. The crops should be rotated to avoid insect enemies, to deepen the soil and to use the plant food in the land to best advantage, since crops vary very much in the amount of the different elements which enter into their composition. Some plants feed largely near the surface, while others take their food mostly from a lower level. Root crops should not follow root crops, nor should vines follow vines for many years in succession on the same land. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potash are the most important elements in the composition of our cultivated plants, and must be fur- nished to the ground in a great quantity if good crops are expected. Rotten stable manure contains the most of them, and must be put on the garden as often as possible. Horse manure, being loose and light, ferments very quickly, and, on this account, is better for early spring crops or to warm hotbeds, than other manures. By the proper cultivation of the garden we accomplish three things: (1) The weeds are kept out so they do not shade the young plants, neither take away any plant food or mois- ture. (2) The surface of the soil is brought into best condition to resist drought and to take in all the moisture from rains. (3) The inert plant food in the soil is made soluble by the combined actions of the sun and the air. In order to secure a good germination of the seeds, they ought to be sown in mellow soil, and: this pack around them just firm enough to bring it in good contact. Unless the seed is carefully and properly placed and covered, the crop cannot get a good start. Seeds will not sprout in the absence of air and, on that account, seeds that are sown too deep fail to come up. In planning the garden it is important to put all the perennial crops, or all crops ma- turing at about the same time, together, so as to render the work of: cultivating easier. Seeds have to be put in the ground at different times in the spring. Some can be sown as soon as the ground can be worked, while others, such as beans, corn and all vines, must not go in till danger of frost is passed and the ground is warm. Most people sow the seeds too deep, and then blame the seedsmen for selling poor seeds, when the fault is theirs. All small seeds, like cabbage, lettuce, onion, etc., should not be sown deeper than % inch, and, in good many cases, when the spring is rather wet, % inch would be better. Beans will do best if sown about 2 inches, while sweet corn ought to be covered 1 to 1% inches deep. Peas are the only crop that will do well if planted more than 2 inches deep. z Anyone having a vegetable garden, and wishing to have early crops, ought to make a hotbed to start the early plants in the months of February and March, and set them out-’ Side as soon as the weather permits. Mere are a few hints to a beginner, how to make a hotbed: First pile up some fresh horse manure, not taking too much bedding, and wet it thor- oughly. In two or three days it must be turned over, throwing the outside manure in the center of the new pile and breaking up all the lumps. It will have to be turned once more before it is ready to put in the bed. Dig a trench 5 feet 8 inches wide by 24 or 30 inches deep and any length desired. In the trench put the manure that has already been heated, putting a layer of 6 inches at one time, and then wetting it good, and keep putting 6- inch layers and wetting every time till you have two feet of manure, and then top it with 6 inches of well pulverized soil. Then make a frame with one or two-inch boards, 12 inches wide for the back, and 6 inches for the front, and cover with sash 3 by 6 feet. If you cannot get a glass sash, a wooden frame of same dimensions, covered with hotbed cloth, will be almost as good. After the soil is on the manure, the bed will commence to heat up, but will be too hot to sow seeds, and it will take about a week before it is safe to sow it. Care should be taken to water the hotbed enough, and ventilate it whenever the weather permits, or the plants will be liable to be damped off and die. Shutters and mats are used for covering the sash at night to prevent too rapid radiation of the heat. Manure stacked against the frame will help to Keep the frost out. Imsects will attack the vegetable garden and some, as the cut worm, are hard to kill off. The only sure remedy against the cut worm is to envelop the stem of the plant with a piece of paper projecting a couple of inches above the ground and one-half inch in the ground. Fleas, on turnip and cabbage, can be destroyed by using either powdered tobacco or Slug-Shot, and worms that eat the leaves will be destroyed by Spraying the leaves above and underneath with Kerosene Emulsion or Bordeaux Mixture. Kerosene Emulsion is made by mixing thoroughly 15 to 20 per cent. of Kerosene with 80 to 85 per cent. of clear water. On melon and squash vines 10 to 12 per cent. of kerosene is enough or it will burn the leaves. Bordeaux Mixture is made by slacking four to eight pounds of quick-lime in one- half bucketful of water, adding 4 ounces of Paris Green and then mixing thoroughly with a barrel of water into which has been dissolved 4 lbs. of copper sulphate (blue vitriol). ASPARAGUS. CULTURE—Sow the seed thinly in rows one foot apart, aS soon as the ground is warm, in March or April, covering the seed from % to % inch deep. Thin out the seedlings to three or four inches in the rows, saving only the strongest. The one-year plants should be set out in the spring, in a good, rich, sandy soil, dug 20 to 24 inches deep, into which has been worked plenty of well- rotted manure, and the plants should be at least six inches below the surface and one foot apart in the row. If it is a stiff clay soil it should be loosened up by mixing plenty of sand, or even coal ashes, and be well drained. One ounce of Seed will produce about 300 plants.

MAMMOTH LONG RED MANGEL WURZEL. A particularly fine stock of Mangel. The roots attain enormous size, smooth and regular in shape. CABBAGE. CULTURE—tThe ground should be highly manured, deeply dug and thoroughly worked. A heavy, moist and fresh loam is very suitable. For early cabbages the seed should be sown in a hotbed, in March, and transplanted in the field in April, two feet one way and fifteen to eighteen inches in the other. For late, or winter crops, the seeds may be sown either in a cold frame or even in the open ground, in April or beginning of May, and transplanted, when they are four or five inches high, in rows two or three feet apart and from eighteen inches to two feet in the row. To destroy the green worm, so destructive to the leaves, take one ounce of saltpeter and dissolve in three gallons of water, and sprinkle the plants well. Unless it is washed off by rains, one application is sufficient. To destroy the flea, which at- tacks the young plants, sift fine air-slacked lime or tobacco dust as soon as the flea appears above the ground. One ox, Produces about 2,500 plants. ALL SEASONS.

CULTURE—tThis is the same as for cabbage, but should be more thorough, and the soil made richer. They delight in a rich,-moist soil, and in dry seasons should be abundantly watered, espe- cially when heading. For early Cauliflower the seed should be sown in a hotbed, in January or Feb- ruary, and transplanted in another bed as soon as they are big enough to be handled. As soon as it is safe to plant them outside, which is generally between the middle of March to the middle of April, they should be set in rows, two feet apart, and fifteen inches in the row. If they are hard- ened before setting in the field, and the growth is not checked, they will head well. When head- ing tie the outside leaves loosely over the head to protect it from the sun. Late crop can be sown as late as May 20th and treated the same as cabbages. One ounce produces 1,500 to 2,000 plants. EARLY DANISH SNOWBALL. This variety, by innumerable trials, has established the claims made for it. The plants are very dwarf. The outer leaves are erect. The inner ones lap over the head so as to completely shade from the sun. We think it equal to the Henderson Snowball in every respect, and consider it a valuable market variety for early and late.

CULTURE—For early celery, seed should be sowed in February, in a bed not too hot, as seeds do not germinate well if too warm, in drills six inches apart, and covered about a quarter of an inch deep. When about three inches high they should be thinned out, in the row, or transplanted in an- other bed and set out in the field, in beginning of May. For late celery, seed should be sowed in a bed in April or beginning of May, and transplanted in the field in July. The ground should be rich and well worked, and the plants set in rows two to four feet apart, and six or eight inches in the row. As the plants need to be earthed up three or four times during the growing season, it is a good plan to set the plants in trenches a foot deep and draw the earth against the plants as they grow. The early varieties, such as Self Blanching and White Plume, need very little banking to bleach, but late varieties must be put into trenches one foot wide and. of a depth a few inches less than the height of the celery. As soon as frost sets in the celery is dug up and packed in these trenches and covered gradually as cold weather comes on. The tops of the trenches must be sloping and trenches well drained, or they will rot. Six to eight weeks after celery has been trenched they have gotten that nutty flavor, which makes winter celery so much praised for, and are entirely bleached. In planting celery, be sure to press the soil firmly against the roots, and be careful not to let the earth get into the heart of the plants. Celery needs plenty of moisture to do well and, if allowed to suffer from j want of water, will get soft. One ounce will pro- Celery Giant Pascal. duce 2,500 to 3,000 good plants, and it takes about 42,000 plants to plant one acre if the rows are two feet apart and celery set six inches in the row. i 7 CELERY—Continued.

Most excellent variety and remarkably early. Ears of large size, medium length, sweet, rich and delicate. EARLY MINNESOTA. This is among the earliest of the sugar varieties, and is much esteemed, not only because it matures so early, but for its excel- lent qualities as well. Ears rather small, long and pointed. PERRY’S HYBRID. A very fine early variety, fully as early as the Minnesota, and ears much larger, each containing twelve to fourteen rows of Sweet Corn. kernels, well filled to the end. The grains are very large and pure white, but the cob is reddish. \\ Sets. zy MAMMOTH WHITE CORY. The largest and best extra early sweet corn. The ears are twelve _ rowed and very much larger than the Cory, white-cobbed, and covered with very large, white grains of good quality. No other sweet corn will find ready sale in a market which is supplied - with this splendid variety, and the gardener who wishes to get the cream of the trade should make his first planting of this best of extra early sorts. STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. This variety is more largely planted than any other, being the gen- eral favorite with canners and market gardeners for late use. It is very productive, the ears are of large size, grains deep, exceptionally tender and sugary, and remains for a long time in an edible condition. This variety, with one or two of the early varieties for a succession, is necessary to every garden. : COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. The ears are not only of good size, but are produced in great abund- ance, frequently bearing four good ears, while the average is three to a stalk. The cob is very small, giving great depth to the kernels, which are of pearly whiteness. But the great merit of the Country Gentleman corn is its delicious quality; it is, without doubt, the sweetest and most*ten- - der of all sweet corn, and at the same time with ears of good size. BLACK MEXICAN. The sweetest and most desirable for family use. When dry the kernels are black. The corn is not equaled in tenderness and sweetness by any other sort.

This cut is a fair representation of the true Swadley Field Corn which was originally brought to Jefferson county, Colorado, from the mountain farms of Virginia, twenty years ago, by Mr. Geo. C. Swadley. He has cultivated it ever since, and has supplied us for several sea- sons, thought never having enough to fill all orders. We are firmly convinced that it is the corn for uplands and worn-out soils, where it produces 385 to 50 bushels of ears per acre. It stands drouth nearly as well as White Australian. It is much softer kernel, being a pale yellow dent. The ears will average eight inches long, twelve to sixteen rowed. One-third of the crop will yield two ears on a stalk, maturing in ninety to 100 days. Six pounds of seed will plant an acre, three feet, eight inch check-rows. This is the corn for our short season districts. Give it a trial. You will be pleased. AUSTRALIAN WHITE FLINT. The earliest and surest variety we have for Colorado and the arid lands of the West. It will actually endure more drouth and cold than any other variety known. Grows to a height of six to ten feet, ears varying from eight to twelve inches long, usu- ally eight or ten rowed, one and two ears on a Stalk. COLORADO YELLOW DENT. An early Dent variety, ripening with the Flint varieties, and ean be grown in almost any locality. Stalks large with broad.leaves, ears eight to ten inches, sixteen rowed, grain yellow, making a good quality of meal. PRIDE OF THE NORTH. (90 days). This variety has smaller ears than the late kind, but is valuable to grow, as it matures earlier. Planted as late as July 4, it has fully matured by October 1. The ears have from fourteen to sixteen rows, grown eight to ten inches in length, slightly tapering. The kernels are closely set together on the cob, of a light orange color. The stalks usually grow six to eight feet in height, producing one or two good ears. Our seed of this variety has been grown for us with special care, from the original stock. IMPROVED LEAMING (90 days). This is one of the earliest large yellow Dent corns in culti- vation, ripening in 90 to 100 days from planting. It is extra early, and not a hard, flinty corn. The ears are large and handsome, with deep, large grains; orange yellow color and red cob, taper- ing gradually. Stalks medium size, producing two good ears each; husks and shells very easily. IOWA SILVER MINE CORN (90 days). The stalk grows to a height of seven or eight feet and set the ears about three and a half to four feet from the ground. The ears measure from ten to twelve inches in length, and often weigh one and a half pounds. They are very uniform in size and shape, with sixteen to twenty straight rows of deep, pure white kernels on a small white cob. It matures in about ninety days, being about one week earlier than Champion White Pearl. It is the heaviest yielder we know, having yielded over 200 bushels to the acre. Seventy pounds of ears will make sixty-two pounds of corn. It is entirely distinct and will give satisfaction. GOLDEN BEAUTY (110 days). The ears are of perfect shape, with from ten to fourteen straight rows of bright golden yellow grains, remarkable in size, and filled out completely to the extreme end of the cob. The richness of color and fine quality of grain make it vastly superior for grinding into meal. The grains are not of a hard, flinty nature, neither are they so soft as to be greatly shriveled. The ears are easily shelled, although the kernels are firm on the ear, and in every respect present as perfect a type as could be possible to have. Golden Beauty matures early, ripening in 100 to 110 days from planting, and surpasses all in size and beauty of grain. POP CORN. WHITE PEARL. Our common market variety.

CULTURE—Musk Melons do best in a warm, sandy soil. In clayey or heavy soils the quality will be poor. Previous to planting incorporate well, with the soil in the hill, a shovelful:of thor- oughly rotten manure and drop from ten to fifteen seeds in a hill, covering about one-half inch deep. The hills must be four to six feet apart each way, and, when the plants commence to run, thin out to three plants to a hill. As soon as the flowers commence to appear, pinch off the ends of the vines to induce early fruiting. Ashes and air-slacked lime are very good to sift over the young plants when the dew is on, to prevent attacks of insects. Do not sow the seeds till the ground is warm and danger of frost is over. For early use a few plants may be started in pots, in a hotbed, and planted out when nights are getting warm. One ounce plants about 60 hills. Two to three pounds to an acre. THE ROCKY FORD MUSK MELON is a new and most valuable introduction, and has attained in an incredible short time a national reputation. It is of the Netted Gem type, oval in shape, av- eraging from four and one-half to five inches in length, of a delicious flavor, very fine and smooth grained flesh of a light green color throughout when ripe. Deriving its name from the district in which it has been for the past several years so extensively grown, Rocky Ford, Colorado, and from which point these melons are shipped in their Season by the car load to nearly every station in the United States, till the name Rocky Ford has become a synonym for excellence in cantaloupes. The seed we offer is our own growing at Rocky Ford, Colorado, and can be relied on for both pur- ity and vitality.

CULTURE—Mushrooms may be grown in any place, where the proper temperature, which is from 50° to 60° F., can be maintained, and when it is moist enough without being very damp or constantly drip- ping with water. If the temperature is below 50° or above 68° it is not safe to try to raise them. Cellars, caves, abandoned mines, or even some kind of a shed may be used to grow mushrooms. In growing mush- rooms the beds should be constructed of stable manure, which has been fermented. Obtain fresh manure with some of the litter, which has been well tramped, and pile in heaps about three feet deep when well presséd down with the fork, and wet it thoroughly. In five or six days it should be turned over, mixing the cold and hot manure. In a week a second turning will be necessary, and, if dry, water again. If well pressed down and merely moist there will be no danger of a sour fer- mentation, and the compost will be ready for use in two or three weeks, according to the weather. As soon as the manure is neither wet nor dry, which can be ascer- tained by squeezing some manure, and if water cannot be squeezed out readily it is in the right condition to be mixed up with one-fourth of good loam. Make your beds about four feet wide, eighteen or twenty inches deep and any length desired. Press down the manure with a fork and let the beds stand for about a week before spawning, as they are too hot. Then cut a brick into 12 pieces, insert them, from one to two inches deep and from 8 to 10 inches apart each way. Do not sprinkle any unless very dry, or too much moisture will retard germination. In two weeks, examine the beds, and if the spawn is running (which can be known by white, thread-like fibres seen in the manure), it is ready to be cased. Casing consists in applying a layer of loam, neither clayey nor too sandy, from 1 to 1% inches deep to the surface of the bed. This loam should be carefully worked and screened. Mushrooms should appear from five to ten weeks after spawning, and a good bed will bear from three to four months. In picking the mushroom twist it from the soil and fill the hole left with fresh soil. Sprinkle only when real dry, and after the mushrooms have been gathered. Use lukewarm water for best result. The main causes of failure are (1) Spawning at a too high temperature. (2) The use of too much water, and (3) unfavorable temper- ature during the growing period. PURE CULTURE SPAWN.

CULTURE—The onion thrives best in a rather deep, rich, loamy soil and, unlike most vegetables, succeeds well when cultivated 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 the spring as the ground is in working order commence opera- tions by leveling the ground with a rake, and tread it firmly; ) sow thinly in rows, four pounds to the acre, and a quarter of an inch deep and one foot apart; cover with fine soil and press down with the back of a spade or 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 or collect it about the growing bulb. When ripe, pull and dry thoroughly before storing. One ounce Onion—Yellow Globe Danvers. to 100 feet of drill; four to five pounds to an acre. If you want a larger quantity, ask for special prices.
