FOR SPRING PLANTING.

SS) WOK IPEAINOD IP SIby, = = INUIEDIAE SEOMERIES 9 INC, NC

UR list of seeds comprises all the standard varieties, together with those apparently most
‘S valuable of recent introduction. The seeds we offer have been raised under the super-
vision of our most reliable growers, and are unsurpassed in quality, but as practical
experience has demonstrated that owing to unfavorable weather and improper treatment the
best of seeds may fail, we desire it distinctly understood that for these reasons only we do not
warrant seed.

Vegetable or Flower Seeds ordered by the packet will be sent carriage paid. Postage
must be added to all seeds in bulk at the rate of 8 cents per pound. Peas, Beans and Corn,
15 cts. per quart.

Remittances should be made by Draft on Bank, Post Office Order, Registered Letter
or Express Money Order. Small Sums may be sent in Postage Stamps of small denominations.
Particular care is essential in giving Name, Post Office, County and State distinctly written.
We are in receipt of many orders deficient in these important particulars, often causing a delay
of weeks in executing them, to the great inconvenience of both parties.

Appreciating past favors, we solicit your continued orders, which shall receive our careful
and prompt attention.

Very respectfully,

A Few Vegetable Novelties and Specialties.

ROGER’S “LIMA WAX,” BUSH BEAN.
A DECIDED NOVELTY.

One of Merit, and a Most Desirable
Acquisition as a Snap Bean.

Named Lima Wax, as it has bright,
glossy foliage, and the bloom resem-
bles the Dwarf Lima. The pods are
very broad and flat and a most excel-
lent rich quality. The plant is
branching and vigorous, with an im-
mense amount of foliage, pods are
. borne in greatest profusion, often a
- single plant having 50 or more
pods. When in bloom the plant is
completely covered with flowering
spikes, and as the pods form in
clusters they sink beneath the dense
foliage, which shields them from
light showers, heavy dews and hot
sun, which is a protection against
their spotting or rusting and becom-
ing soiled, as compared with other
sorts. They require thin planting
(two beans being sufficent for a hill)
on very rich soil, and will run true
and not sport,

The pods are the broadest of all wax bush beans, color transparent glossy lemon wax, having the yellow waxy
appearance very soon after the pods are formed. When picked will retain their bright, attractive appearance for a
long time and not become tough. Quality very tender, juicy, and flavor delicate, delicious. Seed small oval, pure
white, which is much in their favor compared with a colored bean.

Per quart, 75 cents; pint, 40 cents; packet, 20 cents.

Livingston’s New Cucumber, ‘The Emerald.”
THE BEST GENERAL PURPOSE CUCUMBER OF THE WHOLE LIST.

Livingston’s Emerald re-
tains every good point in the
best strains of White Spine,
and in addition, possesses
that rich dark green color
which has been so long
sought for but never before
obtained, It is strictly an
evergreen, retaining its
color until fully ripe, On.
sight, its distinct dark green
and spineless skin attracts
the attention and admira-
tion of everyone interested,
Its fruit sets early, and its
vigorous vines abound in long, strai

ght, handsome fruits of most desirable qualities. The flesh being peculiarly crisp
and tender, and the flavor delicate, highly recommend it as a slicer. The young fruit being dark green, straight and
tender, makes an excellent pickle, and when ripe none excel it for making sweet pickles,

Per packet, 15 cents, two for 25 cents,

“UUNO PER.”

A main crop variety of
vigorous constitution, which
shows itself in the strong,
handsome, branching plant.
It grows from 1%¢ to 2 ft.
high and requires no brush-
ing. It produces an abun-
dance of the finest peas possi-
ble, the vines being actually
laden with pods, contain-
ing from seven to nine peas
of the finest quality, which
so thoroughly fill the pod as
to make it almost cylindri-
cal in shape. The peas,
too, possess the admirable
merit of preserving ther
tenderness and superb flavor

long after they are young, and also retain their attractive dark green color when served at table.

Price per pkt., 10 cents; per pint, 20 cents; per quart, 30 cents: per peck, $1.50.

Tomato, “Honor Bright”

The Color of the Fruit, When Fully Ripe, is a Rich Bright Red.

But before reaching this stage it undergoes several interesting changes. first it is light green, then an

attractive waxy white, then lemon, changing tored. One of the most attractive and handsomest varieties grown,

and well adapted for home use and market, and on account of its solidity and long keeping qualities, it is especially

recommended for shipping. It can be shipped in barrels, like
apples, if picked in the early stage of ripening, and will keep
from one to four weeks if stored in a cool place,

Per packet, 15 cents, two for 25 cents.

Culture.—Sow the first week in May and prick out
on a rich piece of ground; transplant in July, For
wintering under glass sow in the second and last week
in September; transplant thickly into a cold pit or
frame; give plenty of air in mild weather, and cover up
well in very severe. Again, sow in February in a hot
bed ‘and transplant in April. For Cauliflower, the
ground should be well prepared by trenching, incorpor-
ating at the same time a good share of rotten manure,
Select new ground, if possible, as Cauliflower rarely
succeeds on ground which has been cropped year after
year with other kinds of vegetables. Plant in rows
twenty inches apart and two feet between the rows.

CELERY.

One ounce will produce about 5000 plants.

PERFECTION HEARTWELL CELERY,

Culture.—Sow the seed (which is slow to germinate)
in shallow boxes, or in a finely prepared seed bed out
of doors, in straight rows, suv that the small plants may
be kept free from weeds.

See toit that the seed bed is kept moist, almost wet,
until the seeds germinate, as plenty of moisture is
essential to get a satisfactory growth. When about two
inches high thin out and transplant so that they may
stand two inches apart, and when the plants are four
inches high, cut off the tops, which will cause them to
grow stocky. The crop is usually made to succeed some
earlier crop, and if good plants are used they may be
set out as late as the middle of August, but the best
results are usually obtained from setting about the
middle of June or the first of July. The most desirable
time will depend upon local climate, and is that which
will bring the plants to maturity during cool, moist
weather. In setting prepare broad, shallow trenches
about six inches deep and four feet apart, in which the
plants should be set six incbes apart, cutting off the outer
leaves and pressing the soil firmly about the roots. When
the plants are nearly full grown they should be
“handled,” which is done by one man gathering the
leaves together, while a second draws the earth about
the plant to one-third its height, taking care that none
of the earth falls between the leaves as it would be
likely to cause them to rust or rot. After a few days
draw more earth about them and repeat the process
every few days until only the tops of the leaves are
visible, or the leaves may be pressed together by two
wide boards held firmly a few inches apart by cross ties
and stakes, when in a few days more it will be fit for
use. Care should be taken that the plants are not dis-
turbed while they or the ground are wet, as it would be
sure to injure them. A part of the crop may be simply

“handled” and then at the approach of severe freezing
weather, taken up and set out compactly in a dark cellar
or an unused cold frame, which can be kept just above
the freezing point, and it will then gradually blanch so
that if may be used throughout the winter. Should the
plants begin to wilt water the roots without wetting the
stocks or leaves and they will revive again.

the size of an egg; fill up the holes with the com-
post. Beat the surface level, afterwards keep it
dry, and the mushrooms will make their appearance
in about five or six weeks, When the first crop has
been taken give the bed a good watering, leaving it as
before, when they will again make their appearance,
Beds can be made at any time of the year, and as one
declines another should be made, to keep a constant
supply. The spawn should be kept in a cool dry place.
When gathering, remove the stalks; do not cut them
or they will rot and breed magyots.

practicable, and again every two or three weeks for a
succession throughout the season up to the first of
August. Plant in single or double rows, four feet apart

How to Sow Flower Seeds.

9-4

HIE interest attached to the raising of plants from seeds, whether of old-established

favorites or others of a more recent introduction, is well known to all who have

attempted it; therefore, the following practical directions cannot fail to prove of value to
amateur cultivators :

Take boxes from three to five inches deep, filled to within half an inch of their tops
with a lght, sandy soil, sifted fine; sprinkle the seeds on top and cover lightly, according
to the kind, the coarser the seed, the more soil being required. Then press the soil
lightly with a flat piece of wood or a trowel; water with a sprinkler or with a very fine
spray. Place your boxes in a light sunny place, covering them with a piece of glass, or
if too early in Spring place them in the house in front of the window where the sun’s
‘ays can reach them. When the tiny little plants havé as many as four or five leaves,
transplant them into larger boxes or pots, containing a somewhat richer soil, two inches
apart each way. When the weather becomes warm and you are prepared to arrange your
garden, transplant to places where you want them to grow and bloom, ‘These directions
refer principally to small seeds, but may be followed with all kinds, as they point out the
surest way to raise plants from the seeds.

All hardy Annuals and some Perennials will succeed well if sown in the open air,
about the end of April or the beginning of May; in this case one more important point
must be observed, that of ‘‘thinning out’’ the plants in their earlier stages—for if the
young plants are allowed to remain in a crowded state they will soon spoil each other, and
therefore must be thinned out. This should be done cautiously, at first, only enough to
give the remainder a clear space, and again, when two or three inches high; the number
of plants finally left must depend on the size and habit of the species; if large and spread-

ine

g, single plants are best, otherwise two or three may remain an equal distance apart; if

small and spreading or trailing, two or three more may be left, but they should be six
inches apart. |

In transplanting, care must be taken: lift the plants carefully, by the use of a garden
trowel, retaining as much soil to the roots as possible. This should be done in wet or
cloudy weather, and if the ground is dry, a good soaking with water before and alter

planting is advisable.

Hints Regarding Watering Plants and Bulbs.

During dry weather it is necessary frequently to water Lawn and Garden plots. The
water used for such purpose should never be colder than the atmosphere. Young plants and
bulbs when chilled with cold water generally droop and die from the shock.

A good plan is to keep a cask in your garden, filled with water, so that the water may be
warmed by the sun or add sufficient warm water to the well or hydrant water so as to make it

the same temperature as the atmosphere.

CENTRAL PARK LAWN SEED.

SIG “f
Fly ee) 4
| \ 2 abs

a aed

Scene Around Music Stand, Central Park.

HOW TO MAKE A LAWN.

The ground should be thoroughly plowed, then harrowed until the surface is completely pulverized.

When the seed has been sown a light harrow should be applied, after which the surface should be made smooth
and even with a roller.

To make small plots or to replant bare spots, rake the ground well, then sow the seed and rake it in lightly and
make the surface smooth with a roller.

When the grass is well grown cut it frequently. The oftener it is cut the finer and thicker the lawn will be.

Grass seed may be sown at any time during the spring or fall.

One quart of the CENTRAL PARK MIXTURE is sufficient to sow about fifteen feet square ; an acre will require
-from three to four bushels. To produce a good lawn it is always best to sow the seed thickly.

CENTRAL PARK LAWN GRASS.

The Dwarf Growing Seed we offer under the above name, is the same mixture of selected seed as we have for
several years furnished to the Department of Parks, and to most of the Florists and Gardeners of New York City

THE PINELAND NEW MODEL
INCUBATOR.

We claim for this machine simplicity of construction,
durability, the greatest economy of fuel, the most
perfect regulation of moisture, the most sensitive and
simple regulator ever introduced. The egg chamber
is not obstructed by pan, wires or mechanism of any
kind, except a thermostatic bar on the side of the
machine, which, however, cannot interfere with the
hatching. All the parts are in plain sight, and the egg
chamber need not be opened to adjust the bar or lamp.
The regulator works horizontally instead of perpen-
dicularly, thus insuring perfect mechanical regulation.

The bar is made of hard rubber, which long years of
experience, backed up by scientific authorities, has
demonstrated to be the best thermostat for incubators.
Metal bars expand well enough, but contract indiffer-
ently, which is a serious fault.

Our heat is regulated by the lamp and not by the
opening and shutting of a valve in the top of an Incu-
bator. The latter method is wrong in principle, wastes
considerable oil, overheats the machine frequently and
invites fire. In other words, it requires the nicest kind
of judgment and care to avoid accidents.

THE NIAGARA LAWN
SPRINKLER.

This unique and simple
sprinkler was designed in re-
sponse to a universal demand
for a lawn sprinkler that would
work under a very low pressure,
as well as under a medium or
high pressure,

Numerous attempts is this
direction have been made and
various designs put upon the
market, but they all have de-
fects which render them un-
satisfactory in some one or
more of their qualities. We
believe all these defects are
overcome in the ‘‘ NIAGARA ”
Sprinklers, and that they con-
tain all the essential require-
ments of an ideal lawn sprink-
ler.

Under a pressure of five
pounds they distribute a spray
of uniform density over an
area of fifteen feet in diameter,
and under a pressure of 25
pounds over an area of 30 feet
or more in diameter.

There are no revolving parts
to wear or get out of order. By
turning a knurled sleeve any
desired density of spray can be
obtained. Price 25c. each.

Full size.

A a HIS MACHINE has 1044-inch wheels, 114-in face. The wheels are made with an extra rim, which raises

the gear away from the ground, so that loose dirt and sand do not get into it, as is the case where the
gear is in the outsiderim. The hub is bored out with sizing reamer, making a true and polished bearing that runs
on a 11-16 inch polished steel pin. The reel has four blades, and the reel shaft runs in long polished brass boxes that
are self-aligning, and adjustable by one set screw for each box. The frame is connected at the top by a cold rolled
shaft, secured by hardened set-screws ; at the bottom by 14-inch cold rolled shaft, milled at each end to 3g-inch, making
a shoulder against which the disks are secured by hexagon nuts. On this ¥%-inch shaft is placed the cutter bar,
which is adjusted by filister head machine screws. By this form of connection we secure the most rigid machine
possible.
