CADWELL & JONES’
Novelties and Specialties FoR 1896.
Under this head we offer and call attention to such of the newer varieties as have proved to be of merit and real acquisi- tions to their kind, also to such varieties as are Specialties
with us.
Never Bitter’ or
Tough.
Hartford Bronzed Head Lettuce.
This variety of Lettuce originated here in Hartford, and for a dozen years or more its excellent qualities were known only to a favored few. It should not be confounded with the Bronzed Head Lettuces offered by other seedsmen as the ‘‘Hartford’’ Bronzed Head is different and distinct from any other sort. Tested in an experiment garden with every known variety it proved to be unlike any other. Forming large, compact heads of a beautiful, dark bronzed red color, shading to a dark green toward the root. Cut in halves the heart is a rich cream yellow. The leaves are thick and have the appearance of being blistered and crimped ; also very glossy as though covered with a thin coating of salad oil. Its delicate tenderness makes it unfit for market purposes as it will not bear much handling, but its mild, sweet flavor and icy crispness makes it a favorite with all lovers of good lettuce.
It is a slow and stubborn seeder, but the past year we have been fortunate and succeeded in saving a large fine crop.- If you have not tried it do not fail to give it a place in the garden this year. Per Packet, 5 cents; Ounce, 30 cents; Pound,
$3.50.

Magnificent New Asparagus.
A variety of Surpassing Merit, which gives immense yields of Clear White Shoots.
COMMANDING AN
EXTRA PRICE BECAUSE OF ITS Color and Superior
Flavor and Tenderness.
Some fourteen years ago a single plant having white shoots was found growing in a large As- paragus grower’s field of Conover’s Colossal. As the plant happened to be seed bearing, seeds were saved and sown by themselves. A small per- centage of the plants came true and these were planted by them- selves and seed from them saved. This pro- cess was repeated until now fully 80 to go per cent. of the plants pro- duced from the seed we offer will be white. ‘The small percentage of green plants that show in a lot of seedlings may be removed as fast as they appear, thus insur- ing a bed containing
white plants only.
In addition to the marvelous advantage of its white color, the Columbian | Mammoth White Asparagus is even more robust and vigorous in habit and throws | larger shoots and fully as many of them as the Conover’s Colossal. When we add | to these the immense advantage of its needing no earthing up in order to furnish | the white shoots so much sought after, we think it evident that it is superior to any sort now in cultivation and that no Asparagus grower can afford to plant seed of any other kind. Per Packet, 5 cents; Ounce, ro cents; Pound, $1.25; Fine Roots, per hundred, $1.25 ; per thousand, $8,00,

CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN
Hartford Dark Red Turnip Beet.
Grown side by side with the older varieties, this has proved one of the very best sorts, not only for the market gardener but also for the home garden. It is not quite so early as the Crosby’s Egyptian, but follows it closely, being very early and a long keeper. The tops are small, upright, growing so that the rows may be close together; leaf stem, and veins dark red; blade, green; roots, globular or ovoid, peculiarly smooth; color of skin, dark blood red; flesh, bright red zoned with lighter shade ; very crisp, tender, sweet and remaining so a long time. Paper, 5 cents; Ounce, Io cents ; Pound, 60 cents,
Bere.
While this is too welt known to be classed as a novelty, yet is so decided an acquisition to the varieties of Beets, that we place it among our specialties. It is the result of repeated and careful selection from the original Egyptian Beet. While it is equally early, it bottoms uniformly, thicker in form, smoother, more even in growth and of much better quality than the old sort. For the first early we recommend this to the market gardener as well as for the kitchen garden. Paper, 5 cents ; Ounce, ro cents; Pound,
60 cents.

‘*THE MOST REMARKABLE OF NEW VEGETABLES.”’
BURPEE’S BUSH LIMA.
THE ONLY BUSH FORM OF THE TRUE LARGE LIMA BEAN.
By the introduction of this most valuable novelty the largest and Best Lima Beans can now be raised in quantities at small cost, without the expense and labor attached to the use of poles.
BURPEE’S BUSH LIMA comes absolutely true from seed. The bushes grow eighteen to twenty inches high, of stout growth and always erect, yet dvanching so vigorously that each plant develops into a magnificent circular bush from two feet to three feet in diameter. ‘The leaves are of very large size and great substance. ‘The bush character is thoroughly established, not one plant in a thousand showing any disposition to “run.’’ The thickness of the main stalk and branches of the plant, as also the unusual size, healthy green color and thick leathery substance of leaves, indicate the strong constitution of this variety, by which it is enabled to bear large crops, and is also a sure cropper. It is an zmmense ytelder, each bush bearing from 50 to 200 of the handsome large pods, well filled with very large beans, which are zdentical in size and luscious flavor to the well known large pole Limas.
We are prepared to furnish our customers with the genuine seed of BURPEE’S Busu Lima, all crop 1895 and warranted true.
Price per Half-Pint, ro cents; Pint, 20 cents; Quart, 35 cents. J/ ordered sent by mail, 8 cents per pint, and 15 cents per quart, for postage.

Thorburn Valentine Wax Bean.
First in Earliness, First in Productiveness, and First in Quality.
This is an improved Extra Early Valentine Bean with round wax pods. It is without any ex- ception the EARLIEST Wax Bean in use, being even earlier than Refugee Wax. Beans planted June 18th produced pods 4 in- ches long by July 25th, and on August ist, half a crop could be picked. The pods are very meaty, and with so very little string that they may justly be called STRINGLESS. It is the best quality for snap. Beans of any Wax Bean in use. Combined with these valuable features of extreme earliness and excellence of quality, is its enormous pro- ductiveness. Per Quart, 30 cents ; Peck, $1.75 ; Bushel, $6.00.
THORBURN VALENTINE WAX BEAN.
New Champion Sweet Corn.
This Corn is without doubt the earliest large corn ever in- troduced, being only a few days later than the first early small corns, such as Cory, Marblehead, etc. It is classed by some market gardeners to be nearly as early as the Cory, which has a small ear and red cob, while the Champion has an ear nearly as large as Mammoth, with a medium-sized white cob and large, ° plump, pearly-white kernels, very sweet, tender and full of milk. Its large size, small white cob, plump kernel and extreme earli- ness, make it a very valuable variety for market and family use. It has a very large ear, plump, twelve-rowed and well filled out at the tip—some of the ears measuring r2 inches long by 8% inches in circumference. Stalks grow large and stout, five or six feet high, and are very productive, yielding two, and some- times three ears on a stalk. ‘There are very few, if any, varie- ties except the Champion, that will be fit for table in eight weeks from time of planting, and produce \\S pm . ears measuring 12 inches long by 8% inches in NAAN Qa nant nt A = AQ ‘circumference. Its large size, pure white, plump
\ , fe \\ kernels, and extreme earliness make it not only * very popular as a market sort, but also for family use, coming in when there js nothing but the small corn to be had. Per Quart, 20 cents; Peck, $1.00 ; Bushel, $3.50.

PURE, FRESH AND RELIABLE.
©NION SEED.
We have grown the past season some of the finest crops of Onion Seed ever produced. After all said and done, there is nothing like the veal genuine Wethers- field, grown onions, for quality, flavor, and keeping qualities. They are finer grained, sweeter, better keepers and more sure to produce large, fine crops, than onions grown from seed produced anywhrre
, else in the United States. This we know is a very broad statement, but it is backed up by the best
~ of authority, z. ¢., omg years of ex- perience. There is something in the air or soil, besides long exper- lence in selection of stocks, and thorough cultivation, that makes Wethersfield Onion Seed so famous \ the world over. We offer fine Bill) stocks of all the leading varieties. W)| For list of varieties and prices see page 32. We particularly call at- tention to our Early Red Globe Onion, a cut of which is shown here. . It is very early, large, smooth, and very handsome, ex/re- ordinarily productive, sweet and fine grained, and a wonderful keep- er. Color a deep, rich, glossy red.
Mammoth Prize=Taker Onion.
AMERICAN GROWN SEED CROP, 1895.
The Prize-Taker Onion grows uniform in shape, of a nearly perfect globe, with thin skin of a clean, bright straw color; it is of immense size, measuring from twelve to sixteen inches in circumference, while under special cultivation specimen bulbs have beens raised to weigh from four to six pounds each. It ripens up hard and fine, and presents the handsomest possible appearance, while the pure white flesh is fine grained, mild and delicate in flavor. ‘They bottom well, are free from stiff necks. It is identically the same variety as the large, straw colored onions imported from Spain and offered for sale in all our large cities every fall. The seed we offer is American grown, and much superior in quality to the imported. Per Packet, 10 cents ; Ounce, 15 cents, Pound, $2.00.

SSULEN.”
This is a grand new variety of Eng- lish origin which has proved itself worthy of more general introduction. It can be classed as an Improved Stratagem. It is a green, wrinkled, mai? crop variety growing to about two to two and one-half feet in height. The pods are very large, slightly curved, pro- duced mostly in pairs, and all over the vine from bottom to top. The peas are large, oval, deep green, and of a delicious flavor when cooked. They are so packed in the pods that when opened it would almost seem impossi- ble that they could be contained in the pod. The vines are very sturdy, and being of a branching habit, this variety can be sown more thinly than most varieties. Its season is just right to succeed the Heroine, as it comes into bearing when that splendid variety is about finished. Price, per quart, 30 cents ; peck, $1.75 ; bushel, $6.50.
THE QUEEN.
Nott’s Excelsior Pea.
The King among Dwarf Varieties.
Since we offered this five years ago, in original packets, from Mr. Nott, it has won for itself a place in every seed catalogue in the country. Surely it has come to stay.
In earliness it equals American Wonder; in height it is half way between American Wonder and Premium Gem; in quality equal to Premium Gem, and as a cropper it excels either. In a comparative test, with above side by side, under conditions exactly alike, the. Nott’s Excelsior yielded one-quarter more pods by measure, and by weight one-third more, which shows conclusively that the pods of Nott’s Exeelsior are more compactly filled with peas. Last season this Pea sold at very high prices, but we have not heard of a single gardener who regretted his purchase. This year the price is more reasonable, and we predict that it will be extensively planted and with great profit. Price per quart, 30 cents ; Peck, $2.00 ; Bushel, $7.00,

A Grand New Potato.
>A a KM eo
SUCCESS.
First Introduced by us Last Season.
The new Extra Earty Potato “Success”’ originated with Mr. D. C. Hicks of Vermont, and was known to him as Seedling No. 22, grown from the seed ball and selected to a single tuber for five years, it was brought to its present perfect stype. Mr. Hicks writes: “I have in the past five years, had in my trial grounds with it all the leading varieties of the country, and found only two earlier, the Alpha and the other a seedling of the Snowflake type, both very small and poor yielders. For maturity of crop it is ten days ahead of the Early Rose ; is far superior to the Freeman; more productive than the famous New Queen, and surpasses it for boiling or baking. The strong points of this new potato (Success) besides earliness are a vigorous healthy vine, a heavy yielder, and seeming adaptation to allsoils and sections of the country. They boil and bake evenly and easily, cooking dry and mealy until new potatoes come again! In form, the tubers are round to oval ; color, a light pink or rose shaded about the eye ; skin, slightly russet and of uniform good size. Price, per Peck, 50 cents; Bushel, $1.50; Barrel, $4.00.

ASPARAGUS. Gpargel. One ounce of seed sows forty feet of drill. Asparagus can be grown from seed or propagated from roots. Sow the seed in
April or ax on good soil in drills twelve to fourteen inches apart. When one or
| two years old, transplant as early in the spring as the ground can be worked into permanent beds, made very rich and thoroughly trenched two feet or more in depth. Set the plants in rows two feet apart and twelve inches between the plants in the row. Care should be taken that the roots are well spread and set at a depth of six | inches below the level of the bed. Cover only two or three inches and fill in gradually as the plants grow. Very little, if any, should be cut the first year after transplanting but a fair crop can be cut the second year. Every fall after the tops have been cut down apply a dressing of coarse manure, and in the spring fork it in. An occasional top dressing of salt is also beneficial and keeps down the weeds.

To successfully grow a crop of cabbage, very much depends upon the quality o1 the seed. Obtain that which is grown from well formed selected heads. The ground must be highly manured, deeply dug or plowed, and thoroughly worked. A heavy moist, fresh, loam is the most suitable. For early plants the seed is often ))) aon sown the middle of September and
V7 protected in cold frames through the winter. But the more common way is to sow in hot beds in Febru- ary or March and prick out into cold frames to be transplanted later when danger of frost is past. Early varieties should set eighteen inches by two feet. Fall and winter sorts twenty-eight inches apart each way.

CAULIFLOWER. Slumen-Robl. One ounce will produce about two thousand plants.
There is no vegetable grown more delicious than the Cauliflower. With a deep rich soil, plenty of moisture and thorough cultivation, it is as easily grown as cab- bage. For early, the seed may be sown in September, and the plants wintered in well-protected cold frames, or sow in hot-beds early in March, and when sufficiently large transplant in cold frames, and gradually harden by exposure. When the weather will permit, set in the open ground in rows three feet apart, and two feet between the plants in the row. For fall crops, sow at the same time and treat in the same manner as late cabbage. Cauliflower will not head in hot dry weather, therefore, the time of planting should be regulated so they will head either in early summer or autumn. Keep well watered when they begin to head. If the leaves are drawn up and tied loosely over the head it will hasten blanching, Cut before the flower begins to open.

CELERY. CGellevie. One ounce will produce about four thousand plants.
Celery, more than any other vegetable, demands intelligent and careful culture. The seed being very small is slow to germinate and with the’inexperienced a good stand of plants is an exception. For early, sow in shallow boxes in gentle heat. in February and March, and for later sow about the middle of April in a finely prepared seed-bed, in rows so that the plants can be kept free from weeds. Cover nct more than one quarter of an inch, and press down firmly with the back of the spade or a board. Be sure and keep the bed constantly moist, a partially shaded location is favorable on this account ; or cover the bed with a light matting or burlap, directly on the soil until the plants begin to prick through the ground when it should be immediate- ; ly removed. When large enough to ‘handle, thin and transplant to four inches apart. Clip off the tops when about four inches high to make them stocky. Plant out from the middle of June until the middle of July, in rows four to five feet apart, and eight inches apart in the rows. Care should be taken in setting not to cover the = crowns and to press the earth firmly about the roots. Keep well cultivated until a month before it is wanted, when it should be hilled or banked for blanching ; this should be done gradually, usually in two or three operations a week or so apart, the last time almost to the tips of the leaves.

Five pounds of Spawn for a bed twelve feet long and four feet wide.
The cultivation of mushrooms is not so difficult as many suppose, they may be grown in a great variety of situations, in a cellar, dark shed, or any dark place where an even temperature of 50° or 60° can be kept. Plant from early in September until January, use one-fourth loam and the rest fresh horse droppings, without long straw or litter, mix thoroughly, and put into a heap to ferment, turn and mix frequently until the first fiery heat has subsided ; prepare a bed four feet wide as long as desired upon a dry, firm bottom, build up evenly, and beat down firmly with a mallet or some other convenient implement, and leave it about one foot high. Thrust a thermometer into the centre of the bed when the violent heat has subsided and the temperature reduced to 85° the bed is ready for the Spawn. Break the brick of Spawn into pieces about the size of hen’s eggs ; plant two inches deep and ten inches apart over the bed, cover and press down firmly ; after ten days or two weeks cover the bed with two inches of fine, fresh loam, firming with the back of the spade, and over all put five or six inches of straw or other litter. If the place is damp, watering will not be necessary, but in a dry room warm water should be occasionally sprayed over the bed. Mushrooms will make their appearance in four to six weeks.

ONION. 3iwiebeln. One ounce will sow one hundred feet of drill; sive pounds for one acre.
The onion is not so particular about the character of the original soil as many suppose. Good crops can be obtained on almost any soil not too wet or too dry, except a stiff clay, light sand, or hungry gravel. It is essential however that the land should be made rich by the thorough incorporation of manure in clean tillage for at least two years from the sod ; heavy or rather clayey or moist (not wet) loam generally produces the largest onions. If coarse manure is to be used, spread on twenty or thirty loads to the acre about the middle of November and plow in, not very deep. In March or April as soon as the ground will work, plow four inches deep and spread on a good dressing of fine compost, bone dust, or fertilizer. Harrow and cross harrow until the soil is fine and level. However early, a favorable opportunity to put in the seed should not be allowed to pass. Sow in drills twelve inches apart in the garden and fourteen inches apart for field culture, cover one- half inch. It requires four to six pounds for an acre, five pounds is about right for medium sized onions. /¢ zs of the utmost importance to use good seed, not only good strong growing seed, but seed that has been raised from good sized, well ripened, selected onions. They require three or four weedings in the row, but if care is taken in sowing to keep the rows straight and uniform the wheel hoe will run so close to them that there will be but few weeds to remove by hand. It is known to gardeners that if onions once get choked with weeds they never fully recover so as to produce a full crop. A top dressing of wood ashes, leached or un- leached, applied after the second weeding is very beneficial.

Hawley’s Improved East Hartford Extra Early Peas.
PEAS. (rbjen.
One quart will plant one hundred feet of drill, one and one-half bushels for one acre.
For the first early crop, sow as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring the Improved East Hartford Extra Early. Select a rich, light, sandy soil, dry and well sheltered. Jor the general crop, a deep, rich loam is best, the soil cannot be too rich for the dwarf varieties. Avoid using coarse, rank manure, as it drives the plants to vines without pods. For market crop, sow in rows two to four feet apart according to the variety. In the kitchen garden, sow the tall varieties in double rows six to eight inches apart, and stick brush firmly between the rows when the vines are about six inches high. Sow the dwarf varieties in single rows one foot apart, cover two to four inches according to the character of the soil and the time of planting, the deepest on light soils and late planting. Deep planting prevents mildew and prolongs the bearing season, yet on cold, heavy soils the seed is liable to rot if planted deep. If drills are made five inches deep and the seed covered only one or two inches, the earth can be gradually drawn into the trench as the plants grow ; in this way a good stand can be had at a good depth. The wrinkled varieties are not so hardy as the hard, smooth sorts and cannot be planted as early ; they are, however, the sweetest and best flavored. A succession may be had by sowing two weeks after the first early, the Early, Medium Early, Medium Late,
and Late varieties at one “ime so that they will follow for use one after the other.

From eight to ten bushels are required to plant an acre.
The potato seems to thrive in almost any soil or climate, but a good sandy loam suits it best. Old sod plowed the previous Fall, will produce the most abundant and certain crops. On no other crop are the results from the use of phosphates more manifest than on the potato. Organic manure promotes rot and other diseases, while mineral manures prevent them and will grow smooth fine tubers. Plant as early in the Spring as the ground can be thoroughly worked, in rows three feet apart, and ten inches apart in the row; plant one or two eyes in a hill (cut from the surface to the center of the tuber), cover three to four inches. Cultivate frequently from the time the young plants appear above the surface of the ground until they blossom. At each hoeing throw the earth up to the plant for support, and to develope the side shoots. In some sections, flat culture is preferred to ridging, especially where drought prevails, or the soil is light and sandy.

Rhubarb or Pie Plant as it is familiarly known, can be grown from seed or propagated from roots. From the seed it is usually the third or fourth year before it is large enough to cut, while from the roots it can be used the next year after setting. Sow the seed early in April in drills one-half inch deep, and thin to six inches apart, transplant to permanent beds the following Spring, or procure single eyes obtained by dividing large roots. Set in the permanent bed three feet apart each way. As its tenderness depends upon its rapid growth, the ground must be dug and heavily manured at least two feet deep. Never allow it to exhaust itself by running to seed.

RLOWER SEEDS.
Brief Hints on Sowing and Cultivation.
THE SOIL.—A mellow loam, which is a medium earth between the extremes of clay and sand, enriched with a compost of rotten manure and leaf mold, is adapted to the generality of flowering plants. Previous to planting flower beds or borders, care must be taken that they are so arranged that the ground may be a little elevated in the middle, that the water may run off, and that the plants may show to better advantage.
SOWING THE SEED.—Nine-tenths of the failures in flower culture come from im- proper treatment of the seeds and young plants. Weurge every purchaser of our seeds to carefully study the cultural directions printed on each package, and the following general rules.
Do not plant any of the seeds when the ground is wet. Make the surface as fine and smooth as possible. Cover each sort of seed toa depth proportionate to its size: the finest, like Portulaca, Campanula, Digitalis, etc., should be merely sprinkled on the surface of the ground, and barely covered with finely-sifted, light, mellow soil. Press the soil down firmly over the seed with a brick or short piece of board. For large seeds, the depth should be regulated according to the size of the seed; those the size of a pin-head, one-half inch deep, and those the size of a pea, three-fourths of an inch.
Procure a bit of lath (it would be better if planed smooth) about two feet long, press the edge down into the soil evenly, so as to make a groove as deep as the seed is to be planted; scatter the seed along this, allowing four or five of the larger to fifteen or twenty of the smaller seeds to the space one plant is to occupy when grown. Cover the seed by pressing the earth together over it, then turn your lath flatways, and press the soil down jirmly and evenly.

If sown in the Spring, get it in as early as possible, so as to have the plants in bloom during the early rains. Seed sown in a cool place in June or July, and watered until up, will produce Fall flowering plants. To have good flowers, the plants should be vigorous, and make a rapid growth. Young plants give the largest flowers. Old, worn-out plants should be replaced.

SWEET PEAS.
How to Grow Them.
Plant deep. Make either two furrows five inches deep and ten inches apart, and plant seed in them hit™ 115 inches apart, or 4 make a trench five in- ches deep and twelve inches wide, dropping the seed in. two straight rows ten in- ches apart, 14 inches in the row.
Cover the seed just one inch at first, and when it is up, little by little, fill the earth in. ik In addition toa deep rich soil, wood ashes are an excellent fertilizer for sweet peas. Bone flour adds to the bloom. Nitrate of soda hastens results. But avoid green stable manure for pea vines. If well rotted all right, but otherwise put it on in the Fall. If late bloom is wanted stimulate less.
If you have succeeded heretofore, don’t trade experience for experiment. But if you are not satisfied. with your success, or have failed, try again, using such suggestions as we now Offer. The two most serious enemies to Sweet Pea culture at present are the cut worm and the blight. In some localities the former frequently wins the battle, especially in lignt loam, and near turf. The first rule is to hunt them out. They come about the last week of May and stay about three weeks. Go through your rows every morning, and wherever a plant is cut off, you will find the ashy gray worm hidden under the surface very near where he has cut the plant off. A's a safeguard against there being a colony of worms at hand, plant something for them to feed on. Seed saved from your vines last year is good for this purpose. Plant this or some culinary pea seed, or some lettuce seed along both sides of vour row of Sweet Peas, and when the cut worm is through hoe up everything but your vood row. The following mixture sown broadcast on the ground is also recommended for cut worm. One pound Paris green, one pound sugar, thirty pounds of bran.
For the blight, which is a serious foe unless taken in hand, much depends on your soil. If you have a pretty stiff clay loam, you will not suffer seriously. In such a soil you can follow the regular trench method. But, if you have the blight in your locality, abandon the method of planting in a trench, and simply hollow your ground out about two inches deep, and plant your seed in that, one inch deep. Do not fill in any soil about the vines until about the middle of June, and even then try a light mulching in the place of filling in soil.
The other rules are simple. Plant as soon as the frost is out of the ground. Give them the sunniest part of the garden. Don’t let tree roots rob them of their food and drink. PJant pretty liberally in a double row, for bushing between. It is well to have extra plants for transplanting into your row. If you give good culture you must bush six feet high, very strongly. Before the middle of June water only enough to guard against drouth, but after that give the roots a frequent soaking. Keep the pods picked. Keep moles out of your Sweet Peas by setting tarred paper every few feet across the trenches, or rows, to obstruct their runs. If you have anything like the minute red spider turn your hose on them through a fine rose sprayer.

Two Grand New White Sweet Peas.
CUPID and BLANCHE BURPEE.
The First and Only Dwarf Sweet Pea, CUPID.
Grows Only Five Inches High! CUPID. The Floral Wonder of the Age!
CUPID excites wonder wherever seen,—such a Sweet Pea, yet in habit so unlike a Sweet Pea! It has all the fragrance of the most favored Eckfurds. ‘The flowers are the size of the Emily Henderson, but with more substance in the petals of both wings and stand- ards than any other Sweet Pea. It bears two and three blossoms on the end of each stem.—all opening about the same time, so that it is not necessary to pick a stem with a bud and an open blossom.
CUPID grown in a twelve-inch pot just fills the top: with its blooms of glistening whiteness it is wonderfully attractive in the house, the public hall, or the conservatory. In the garden it will be used chiefly as a border plant, for it will bear trimming to just the proper shape. The foliage alone is pretty enough for any border, but this is forgot- ten when CUpip bursts into a mass of snow-white blossoms, not unlike a very dwart hedge covered with snow.
Per packet of twenty seeds, 25 cents; 5 packets for $1.00, or $2 00 per dozen. Half- size packets, each containing ten seeds, per packet, 15 cents; 2 packets for 25 cents, or 10 packets for $1.00.

A white-seeded. pure white of exquisite form and immense size. having a bold, rigid; upright. shell-shaped standard of great substance; is a wonderfully profuse bloomer; and absolutely free from the objectionable notch so conspicuous in Queen of England.

The following is a list of the leading and most useful grasses used, and which we keep for sale in quantities to suit, separate or mixed to order, as may be desired.
Timothy—Herd’s Grass (Pideum Pratense). Asa crop to cut for hay, this is probably unsurpassed. It thrives best on moist, peaty, or loamy soils, and is not suited to light or sandy soils, although on such it can, with care, be made to produce fair crops. Blossoms in June or July. One-half bushel to the acre (forty- five pounds to a bushel). Market price.
Red Top Grass (Agrostis Vulgaris). A good permanent grass. Excellent for lawns, pastures, etc., and for sowing with Timothy and Red Clover for cutting for hay. Fancy cleaned seed. Fifteen pounds to the acre. Market price per pound.
Poa Annua. Natural dwarf wood grass. Per pound, 40 cents.
Fancy Clean Blue Grass, Kentucky (70a Prazensis). Also called June Grass. This does well on lght, dry soils, and is highly recommended for perma- nent pasture. It requires two or three years to form a good sod, and does not arrive at its perfection as a pasture grass until it is much older. It is valuable in mixtures for lawns. It withstands the heat of the hottest summers. Blossoms in June. Double extra clean. Market price.
Crested Dog’s Tail (Cynosurus Christatus). Good for permanent pasture for sheep ; is productive and early ; suffers but little from dry weather, and is one of the best grasses for lawns. ‘Twenty-five pounds to the acre (twenty-six pounds to a bushel). Per pound, 35 cents.
Fowl Meadow Grass (/oa Serotina). Succeeds best in low, moist land, and when sown with other grasses, is valuable either for pasturing or curing for hay. Blossoms in July or August. Two bushels to the acre (twelve pounds to a bushel). Per pound, 25 cents ; bushel, $2.50.
Hard Fescue (festuca Duriuscula). Admirable pasture grass of fine quality ; thrives well in dry situations. Thirty pounds to the acre (twelve pounds to a bushel). Per pound, 20 cents.
Meadow Fescue (estuca Pratensis). This is excellent for hay when sown with other grasses, such as Orchard Grass and Timothy, and is also considered one of the best grasses for permanent pasture on a great variety of soils. Forty pounds to the acre (fifteen pounds to the bushel). Per pound, 20 cents.
G4 CADWELL & JONES DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE.
Meadow Foxtail (4lopecurus Pratensis). Regarded as one of the most desirable grasses for permanent pasture, being early and rapid in growth. Its roots are fibrous and perennial, and it grows to a height of from two to three feet. It is much relished by all kinds of cattle, and is specially adapted for permanent pasture. It thrives best on rich, moist soils. Twenty-five pounds to the acre (eight pounds to the bushel). Per pound, 35 cents.
Orchard Grass (Dactyis Glomeraia). Is one of the most desirable of all pasture grasses, coming earlier in the spring and remaining later in the autumn than any other. It grows to a height of two to two and one-half feet, and produces an immense quantity of foliage. It yields a large amount of hay, and sends up a thick growth very quickly after being cut. It is well adapted to sow, either for grazing or for hay. Blossoms same time as Red Clover. ‘Three bushels to the acre (fourteen - pounds to a bushel). Per pound, 20 cents; bushel, market price.
Rhode Island Bent (4egrostis Canina). A valuable grass, mostly used for lawns, of which it is one of the best. Sow three bushels to the acre. In some sec- tions it does well as a permanent pasture grass, but does not produce heavy crops. Blossoms in June or July. Three bushels to the acre (ten pounds to a bushel). Per pound, 25 cents.
Rough-Stalked Meadow Grass (/0a Z7riviazs). It is a valuable grass to cultivate in moist, sheltered soil ; and possessing considerable nutritive qualities, it is relished greatly by cattle and sheep. Twenty pounds to the acre (ten pounds to a bushel). Per pound, 30 cents.
Rye Grass, English (Zodium perenne). This is probably one of the most important and valuable of the cultivated grasses. It is naturally adapted to almost any soil, matures early, and is very productive, but contains less nutritive value than Orchard Grass. Two bushels to the acre (twenty-four pounds to a bushel.) Per pound, 15 cents.
Rye Grass, Italian (Zofum Itaicum). This ripens much sooner than the English Rye Grass, and is greatly preferred by cattle, and greedily eaten by them, either in a green or dry state. Two bushels to the acre (eighteen pounds to a bushel). Per pound, 15 cents.
Sweet Vernal Grass (Anthoxantum odoratum). It is not valuable when sown alone ; but, when sown with other grasses, it becomes so, because of its early growth. It also yields a delightful odor when cured for hay. ‘Thirty-five pounds to the acre (ten pounds to a bushel), Per pound, 50 cents.
Tall Meadow Oat Grass (Avena elatior). This produces an abundant supply of foliage, and is valuable for pasture on account of its early and luxuriant growth. It shoots up very quickly after being cut, and produces a quick crop of aftermath, which also makes it valuable as a soiling crop. Six bushels to the acre (twelve pounds to the bushel). Per pound, 25 cents.

AMERICAN GROWN
Crimson Clover.
Crimson Clover is an annual, and when ripe to cut for hay or seed, it never starts again. Like other leguminous plants, it gath- ers nitrogen from the air and stores it in the plants and roots, which become available food for succeeding crops. The nitrogen alone from one acre could not be bought for $30.00, and is fully equal to that found in 20 tons of stable manure, and at sucha small comparative cost. If the whole of the crop is grazed or mown and removed, the land which produced the crop of Crim- son Ciover will be greatly improved by the action of the decomposing roots, and a suceeding crop of corn will be vastly better than a crop on adjoining soil which laid idle.
To Plow Under for Green Manuring.—Is one of the best uses for which Crimson Clover is adapted. It is a very rank grower —some stools counting as many as 120 to 140 blossoms from one seed. It grows te the height of twenty to twenty-four inches ; roots deep, even in poor soil, from four to five feet. It will grow and make a heavy crop of hay or seed on land so poor that the common clover would do bat little. It grows late in the Fall, early in Spring. Not only can worn-out soil be more cheaply re- claimed by Crimson Clover, but highly im- proved soils be kept up to their fertility zm with much less cost than by any other 3 § means; therefore we say to all agricul- turists, sow Crimson Clover every year.
Sowing.—Crimson clover should be sown broadcast at the rate of 12 to 15 Ibs. per acre in the North, from July 15th to Oct. 15th. It is extremely hardy, and will stand any amount of cold when well established. It grows during the Fall and Spring months, and can be seeded amongst growing corn after the last working, or on clean stubble, in tomato fields, amongst grapes, tobacco, etc., and will take root without being raked in or covered with soil. Ifthe ground is moist it spreads very rapidly. Probably the best way of seeding is to prepare the ground as for any other crop, and lightly harrow in and roll the soil.
Soil.—Any kind of soil will suit this clover. It succeeds admirably on sandy soil; on those too light for ordinary clover this will succeed and make a good crop, likewise on the heavier soils. All situations seem to suit it except wet land.
Soiling.—There is uo better crop for cutting green in the Spring than this. It makes elegant food for horses, cows and all kinds of stock. For cows and other cattle, we do not know of its equal as a Spring green food.
Hay.—We have to speak as highly of it for hay as in its other conditions. Its composition and digestibility are higher than red clover, and makes a superior hay. If seeded upon early sown oats, they, if cut together, will make much richer hay than timothy, though it is usually grown by itself, and to secure the best quality, hay should be cut before the seed forms. It cures very rapidly, and should be carefully handled to retain as much leaf as possible, yet the stalks are very nutritious. It will be ready to cut about two or three weeks earlier than red clover. The last two years have witnessed a regular boom in this seed all over the country, and is now recognized, both by experimental stations and cultivators of the soil, as a money-making crop in several ways.

LEGUMINOUS CROPS—For Green Manuring. (NITROGEN TRAPS.)
The question of soil enrichment has become a most important one to the eastern farmer, and millions of dollars are expended annually for commercial fertilizers in which the Potash costs 4 to 5 cents per pound ; Phosphoric Acid 7 to 8, and Nitrogen, 16 to 20 cents per pound. Some of our more progressive farmers, and the experiment stations, have now taught us that it is useless waste of money to continue buying the most expensive Nitrogen. All that is required can be caught from the atmosphere by any or all of the leguminous plants that grow so freely in this latitude; and most of them may be grown as catch crops at seasons of the year when the land would otherwise be idle, and from $15 to $25 worth per acre of the Nitrogen of the air gathered and stored in the land for future use. Cow Feas and Soja Beans may be sown in early July after crop of grain, early vegetables, potatoes or strawberries, and make an enormous growth by October, and have the land ready for use for late Fall or early Spring planting, or they may be sown between rows of corn or other green crops at the last cultivation in mid- summer. The Clovers may be sown later in July or very early in August, either alone or between rows at last hoeing, and will grow until the ground freezes. Crimson Clover starts very early in the Spring and will be 18 inches high and in full bloom ready to plow under by the middle of May, in ample time for most farm crops. Red and Mammoth Clover will be a few weeks later, but ready to plow down in time for tobacco and other crops of midsummer planting. Nitrogen is the most expensive item in tobacco culture ; it can a/ be saved by the use of some of these NITROGEN TRAPS.

GRANULATED
Tobacco an Sulphur IS, FONE PLATS, HOES AD TE FELD
ALSO FOR —
TREES, SHRUBS AND VINES.
AND THE
Destruction of Insects and Vermin.
This being a vegetable product, and undecayed, decomposition must take place after application. Thus you have a gradual food for the grass or plant, tree, vine or shrub, and this will continue until all is consumed.
Being odorless and clean, and without foreign seeds, it has no equal as a lawn dressing. It is convenient in form, easy of application, and will not barn or injure the lawn. For a garden or field purposes it stands at the head of all fertilizers in the market. It is less in cost, is double in bulk, and will do all work better. There is no vegetable which cannot be successfully grown by this product. For flowering plants of all descriptions there is nothing in the world that will produce such a fine growth and luxuriant flower. In flower beds or in potting piants the granulated tobacco stems mixed with the soil, in a proportion of about one part to five of soil, will produce lasting effects for the entire season. Wherever you may use this fertilizer, you will find the foliage of a dark green color, and a healthy, vigorous growth. It is of great value to seedsmen, and for Hot-House Pur- poses, Nurseries, Etc. There are no weed seedsinit. Harth worms will not live where this is used. Sulphur will prevent mildew, which is so destructive to growth, and the full development of the lawn, plant or vine.
For lawns and grass lands, for say 2,000 square feet, 100 pounds. Per acre, 1,000 to 2,000 pounds. Half a pint ina hill of potatoes or corn. This fertilizer will destroy all grubs that infest potatoes, and produce a larger and more rapid growth than any fertilizer in the market.
Granulated, in bags of 100 lbs., at $2.50 per 100 lbs. ; small quantities, 5 cents per lb.
The Flour of Tobacco and Sulphur
Will prevent and cure mildew on grape vines and rose bushes. It will destroy the green and black flies, grubs, cut worms, liee and the eggs of insects, mealy bug and the red spider, vine bugs of all kinds, and the tomato worm, rose slugs and currant worms, fleas, ticks and scab and parasites of all descriptions. It is not poisonous and has the double advantage of being a fertilizer as well as an insecticide.
The flour of tobacco and sulphur, in packages, at 25 and 50 cents.
