BULBS For WILD GARDENS 48°? NATURAL PLANTATIONS.

An effect of Narcissus Poeticus Ornatus with Ferns at North Easton, Mass.

HE WILD GARDEN is nearer to nature than any other style of garden. It is simple, inexpensive, permanent, and being ar-
ranged on nature’s plan it is not readily destroyed by occasional neglect.

Its SuBJeEcTs are the best of our native plants and plants allied to them from countries having climates similar to our own.
From northern Japan, Siberia, northern Europe and the mountainous parts of southern Europe, there have been obtained many
plants adapted to the American Wild Garden.

Among hardy herbaceous plants the Asclepias, Asters, Boltonias, Campanulas, Columbines, Dictamnus, Epilobium, Echi
nops, Day-Lilies, Lobelias, Lythrum, Monarda, Evening-Primroses, Rudbeckias, Stokesia, Thermopsis, are a few of the many available.
We shall be pleased to furnish a larger list with prices upon application.

The following bulbous plants are especially suitable for natural plantations, and when once planted hold their own and increase
with little or no further care.

CULIRURE OF HVACINInLIC

es IN POTS. It is important
in the pot culture of the hyacinth to

have rich, light soil—if possible, a com-
post of one-third decayed turf, one-third
old rotten cow manure, and the remainder
equal parts of sharp sand and leaf-mould.
This compost should be made a few weeks
before being used. If the bulbs are to be
potted singly, pots five inches in diameter
are the proper size,and the special Hyacinth
pots which are about two inches deeper
than ordinary pots, are preferable. For
drainage, cover the hole in the pot with
a piece of broken pot, and over this
place a layer of moss. Break off any
offsets which appear at the base of the
bulbs, and in potting place each bulb so
that its top shall be half an inch below the
surface of the soil and an inch below the
rim of the pot. The soil should be of
usual natural moisture, and should be
pressed moderately firm. The filled pots
may be placed in a cold frame where there
is protection from frost, and well watered.
An excellent plan is to place them on a
bed of moist, sifted coal ashes, covering
the pots to a depth of six inches with the
same material. When well rooted, which
will be in about six weeks, the bulbs may
be brought indoors and forced. For the
first two or three weeks they should be
kept in a temperature not exceeding 50
degrees. Success in forcing depends much
on their having strong roots before being
brought to the light. The top grows
rapidly, and unless the roots are started
much in advance they are unable to nour-
ish the plant, and failure results.

Hyacinths for early use may be potted
in September or October; late planting is
not advisable, as the bulbs deteriorate;
when desired for late use, it is better to
pot them in October and ‘keep them in a
cold frame above freezing until it is
desired to force them into bloom.

To obtain dwarf foliage and fine flower
spikes, Hyacinths when being forced should
have plenty of manure-water, fresh air,
and should be kept very near the glass.
The blooms last much longer if shaded
from the sun.

Hyacinths in Fibre. A most interesting
method of growing bulbs, is to place
them in bowls, and jardinieres, filled with
fibre. For this system of culture no
drainage is necessary; place a few pieces
of charcoal at the bottom of the bowl,
cover with fibre according to the depth
of bowl, placing the bulbs so that their
tips reach to within half inch of the rim.
The spaces between and around the bulbs
to be filled with fibre carefully firmed.

The bulbs will require no attention for
the first few weeks, and may be set in a
warm airy position where light is excluded.
Narcissus, Tulips, and many other bulbs,
may be grown in fib-e.

Hyacinths in Glasses. The SBI varieties are, with a few, exceptions, best adapted to this mode of culture; they produce finer
flower spikes than the double. Fill the glass with clear, soft water, so as nearly to touch the base of the bulb, putting a small piece of
charcoal in each glass to keep the water pure, and afford some nourishment. The filled glasses should be placed in a dry, cool, dark
place, and kept there until the roots almost touch the bottom of the glass, when they may be exposed gradually to the light. If the
water in the glasses becomes foul, or diminished, replace it with fresh water at about the same temperature as the atmosphere in which
the bulbs are growing; otherwise it.need not be changed. When well started, the bulbs should have plenty of light and air, without
draughts, in order that the best development and brilliancy of color may be attained.

Hyacinths in the Open Garden. The ground should be dug to a depth of at least fifteen inches, and enriched with plenty of well-
rotted cow manure. Hyacinths may be planted from September until winter sets in; although if the highest success is sought they
should be in .the ground by the end of October. Bulbs planted early develop roots in ‘the autumn, and these, if protected from injury
by freezing and thawi ing alternately during the winter, enable the bulbs to produce much larger flower spikes than if the roots are not
developed until spring. Frost reaching the bulbs raises them up, thus detaching them from their roots. Protection may be afforded
by covering the beds with straw or leaves to a depth of six or eight inches, w hich should be removed early in the spring. Hyacinths

should be set six inches below the surface of the ground and six inches apart.

FARQUHAR’S EXTRA LARGE NAMED BEDDING AND FORCING HYACINTHS.

The Reduced Price at which these Hyacinths are offered this year makes them attractive for out-door
bedding and winter forcing.

This highly decorative class of Hyacirths is of unsurpassed excellence for producing fine color effects in public parks and private grounds. Being
of distinct and decided shades, of almost uniform height, and blooming at the same time, they admit of the most artistic grouping.
They are also very desirable for forcing singly in pots or grouped in bulb pans.

EARLY ROMAN HYACINTHS.

HESE beautiful Hyacinths are indispensable

to the florist in his autumn and winter cut-
flower work; while to the amateur they are among
the most easily cultivated and most satisfactory
of flowering bulbs. The white variety, if planted
early in September and gently forced, will bloom in
November; the others require from two to three
weeks longer.

When grown in pots or pans they are most
effective planted in groups of six or more bulbs in
each.

tive and of long duration.

is composed of the best named sorts of
bedding Double Tulips, grown separately
and put together in studied proportions

marked 2 about one week later and the
latest to bloom are marked 3. The
figures following the names indicate the
average height in inches. Those marked

FULGENS

SINGLE MAY-FLOWERING OR COTTAGE GARDEN TULIPS.

HE May-Flowering Tulips are usually in full bloom about Memoriai Day and generally last well into June. Not only do they
prolong the Tulip season but in grandeur of form and richness of their colors surpass most of the earlier classes. They are
splendid subjects for natural plantations, for clumps in herbaceous perennial borders as well as for formal beds. For cutting they

are even better than the early tulips—the flowers being stronger and lasting longer.

DARWIN LATE SINGLE TULIPS.

HE colors range from the palest lilac to purplish black, including shades of rose, scarlet, crimson, violet, brown, white, etc. ‘The
Darwin Tulips are the strongest race of all, their massive leaves being often eight inches broad and their splendid flowers two to
three feet in height. They bloom with the Columbines, three or four weeks after the Single Early Tulips. Clumps of them along

the edge of shrubbery and in hardy plant borders are very effective. They are especially beautiful when cut for vases.

For Natural Plantations. This
is the day of the natural garden and the
Daffodils are among its most charming
subjects. Once planted there is no
limit to their existence and they im-
prove and multiply each year, provided
they are replanted when after several
years they become too crowded. There
is not a single sort in the entire list that
may not be advantageously used. The
accompanying illustration shows a
natural border of Poeticus, one of the
cheapest, yet most fascinating Datfo-
dils. Other inexpensive forms suitable
for such massing are Barri Conspicuus
and many of the Leedsi and Incom-
parabilis sections, while the large
trumpet varieties, many of which are
likewise inexpensive, may be planted
in comparatively small clumps with
good effect. Each clump or mass
should be of one variety —they should
not be mixed—but the effect of
planting a number of kinds each in a
separate clump is most pleasing and ex-
tremely interesting.

For Formal Beds. The Daffodils
are charming, too, planted in beds,
especially when combined with an
undergrowth of the blue Scilla Siberica,
Forget-me-not, or other dwarf spring
flowers. They should be planted in
October or early in November. The
bulbs should be set from four to five
inches deep; the larger sorts five or
six inches apart and the small varieties
three to four inches. They should
never be planted in very windy situa-
tions.

For Clumps in Hardy Plant
Borders. Groups of Daffodils in
borders of hardy herbaceous plants and
along the edges of shrubbery beds are
exceedingly effective and delicately
beautiful.

For Greenhouse Culture. The
commercial florists have been foremost
to give the Daffodils the attention due
them. They have learned how easily
and successfully these lovely fiowers
may be forced into bloom during winter
(even as early as Christmas), and how
fascinating and lasting are the blossoms.
They may be planted in pots or bulb
pans six inches or more in diameter,
several bulbs in each, according to size,
and treated in the same manner as
Hyacinths.

MEDIUM TRUMPET NARCISSI.

This class includes many of the most beautiful and useful Dafto-
dils, with flowers often from three to five inches across, The
characteristic feature of this section is that the trumpet is usually
half the length of the divisions of the perianth, giving the flower a very
refined form. In flowering they follow the Large Trumpet Narcissus.
They are equally desirable for open-ground cultivation and forcing in
the greenhouse or window.

BIBIESsE Or TrIE OPEN: GROUND.

SPECIAL NOTICE. Many of the late
frowering lilies cannot be shipped from Japan
until October, and to save our customers the
annoyance and expense of shipments as they
mature, we have decided to send all the early
varieties, approximately September 15-30.
The late sorts, being subject to delays of steam-
ers, etc., will be forwarded early in November,
or as soon thereafter as they arrive. We ad-
WISE the p reparation of the Lily-beds or borders
early in autumn, covering them with four to
six inches of leaves or other litter, to prevent
the ground freezing until the bulbs arrive. The
late sorts comprise the following: Auratum,
Batemanni, Krameri, Henryiand Speciosum.

If Lilies are wanted by mail, add 5 cents each.

TWO RARE LILIES
FROM CHINA.

HARDY, BEAUTIFUL, FRAGRANT.
THE FINEST NOVELTIES EXTANT.

Lilium Myriophyllum. Mr. E. H. Wilson,
the famous plant collector, collected for us the
bulbs now offered, in North-western China.
He considers this the finest of all lilies. It is
absolutely hardy, and is excellent for forcing.
It has been predicted that this will become
the Easter Lily of the future, and being so
hardy, may be grown at home. The flowers :
are white, Vightly suffused with pink and with EHLIUM . M¥RIGEHEEE a
a beautiful shade of canary yellow at the
centre, and extending part way up the trum-
pet. It is delightfully perfumed, reminding one of the jasmine, and lacking the heavy oppressive cdor of most lilies. Blooms out-of-doors early in
July. Awarded a Silver Medal by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. Bulbs, ready in October, each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00. :

Lilium Leucanthemum. The bulbs offered were also collected by Mr. Wilson. This is one of the strongest growing lilies—frequently attaining a
height of six to eight feet. The flowers vary in number from five to ten on a stalk, and in size and shape resembling Lilium Harrisii, greenish white
shaded purple on the outside, and of the purest white within, with a tint of citron in the centre. The flowers }) ave a pleasing fragrance. This lily w ill
undoubtedly be largely used for outdoor planting as well as for forcing. Many consider it the finest of all tubular-flowered lilies. It flowers some-

what later than Lilium myriophyllum, and being of larger growth, has a distinct place. Bulbs, ready in October, each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00.

LILIES FOR FORCING.

HE bulbs may be potted from
August onward in a compost of
equal parts turfy loam, leaf mold,

rotten cow manure, and sand. It is best
to start them in pots not exceeding twice
their own diameter, in which they may
remain until started eight inches or more.
They should be transferred then to larger
pots in which to bloom, exercising great
care not to disturb the roots or break
away the soil from about them, and set-
ting them considerably deeper in the
larger pots. This method prevents the
soil from becoming sour, and enables the
roots forming at the base of the stem
to become feeders, greatly increasing the
number and size of the blossoms.

FREESIA REFRACTA ALBA ODORATA.

F all South African flowering bulbs the Freesia is doubtless

the best known and most esteemed. The gracefully

branched, fragrant flowers are of long duration, and being

freely produced are profitable for commerical purposes, and sat-

isfactory to amateurs. If planted early they may be had in bloom

by Christmas. Plant eight or ten bulbs in a six-inch bulb-pan,
covering them one inch.

hardy .

GLADIOLI.
EARLY FLOWERING.

These Gladioli are now exten-
sively used by gardeners and florists
for winter forcing; the dwarf, branch-
ing gracefully-formed flowers being
excellent for cut-flower use. If the
spikes are cut and placed in water
when the first blossoms appear, they
will keep expanding and remain
beautiful for a week or two. Five
or six bulbs planted in six-inch bulb-
pans or pots make charming groups
for conservatory or window decora-
tion; the bulbs should be set an
inch and a half deep.

HARDY PERENNIAL’ PLANTS.

OLD-FASHIONED HARDY GARDEN FLOWERS.

be 1 HE favorites of the old-time gardens
are coming to the front, and deserved-
ly so. No feature of the garden can be
more satisfactory than a well-arranged
Hardy Plant border, producing from April
to November a continuous succession of
charming flowers, much more interesting
than the usual greenhouse assortment, and
equally valuable for garden embellishment
and cutting purposes. The Hardy Plants
have the advantage of greater permanen-
cy, requiring only cultivation, enriching,
a slight mulch: during winter, and occa-
sional checking of the more robust grow-
ers, to keep the plantation in good condi-
tion for years.

Where early flowers are desired we ad
vocate the introduction of groups of Nar
cissi, Scillas, Crocuses, Snowdrops, Chi-
onodoxa and other Spring-flowering bul-
bous plants, which should be planted in
October, as well as Montbretias the har-
dier species of Gladioli and Lilies for sum-
mer blooming, and which may be planted
in spring.

We limit the present list to varieties
which admit of being planted at this sea-
son and which have been found generally
hardy and desirable for the severe climate
of New England.

R.@& J. Farquhar & Co., Boston, Mass. Weld Garden, Brookline, December 7.
Gentlemen:—It gives me great pleasure to inform you of the good results I have had with your Lawn Grass Seeds.
I have used them extensively, not only in Massachusetts but in Washington, D. C., and in St. Louis, Mo., at both of which places
there is difficulty in getting good Lawns, and where the successful results from your seeds have been remarkable.
The Weld Garden in Brookline which has been so frequently described and illustrated in the leading periodicals of the country affords
the very best evidence of the high quality, purity and permanence of your Lawn Grasses.

Your Mixtures for various situations and for different parts of the country, I consider especially valuable.
Yours truly, Duncan Finlayson.

FARQUHAR’S BOSTON PARKS LAWN SEED.

This formula has been used for many years in the Boston Park Department and in the Metropolitan Parks of Massachusetts.
It is unquestionably one of the best mixtures for park work or where a free growing, hard-wearing turf is desired.

Sow at the rate of 64 Ibs. per acre. Price, 35 cents per Ilb.; by mail, 45 cents.
10 Ibs., $3.25; 100 Ibs., $30.00; 25 Ibs. and upwards at the 100 Ib. rate.

Owing to the recent prevalence of extreme heat and drought in the grass seed districts, both of this country and Europe, the
crops are short and still uncertain. Prices of all grass seeds are unsettled, and subject to change without notice.

FARM AND FIELD GRASSES.

Prices Subject to Market Fluctuation.

Timothy.

Timothy or Herds Grass. /Phleum pratense. This Grass is usually considered and treated as

a short-lived perennial, and hence is the best grass to grow in a short rotation. It succeeds
best on moist loams and clays naturally rich in humus or on those which have been heavily
manured. It grows in loose tufts, with few short leaves, so that Red Top or Red Clover
should be sown with it to furnish heavy bottom growth of leaves. Sow one-half bushel per
acre if alone. (45 lbs. per bushel.) Per bushel, $8.50.

Red Top. Agrostis vulgaris. A good permanent grass, which grows naturally in cold, wet soils.
It should be grown in cultivation in similar situations. A perennial with long creeping stems
and underground runners; one of the best bottom grasses bearing large numbers of fine root
leaves, making it invaluable for sowing with erect tufted Grasses, such as Orchard and
Timothy filling in between the clumps and producing a continuous turf. Sow four bushels per
acre if alone. (10 ]bs. per bushel.) Per lb., 18 cents; per bushel, $1.60; 100 lbs., $14.00.

Red Top. Clean Seed. Chaff and weeds sifted out; pure fancy seed. We recommend this
to all who desire the best results, as its absolute purity and excellence insure satisfaction for
farm, park orlawn. Excellent for restoring worn-out swards. Per lb., 30 cents; 100 Ibs., $25.00.

Kentucky Blue. oa pratensis, Known as Yune Grass. A perennial especially adapted to
dry limestone soils, but will thrive on any good ground which is not too wet. Very nutritious,
hardy, and early. Sow three bushels per acre if alone. (14 lbs. per bushel.) Per Ib., .35
cents; 100 lbs., $30.00.

Rhode Island Bent. 4gvost’s canina. A bottom Grass, suitable for using with tufted varieties.
Hardy and early and a grass that will withstand heat and dry weather. Sweet and nutritious
and relished by all kinds of stock. Sow four bushels per acre if alone. (10 Ibs. per bushel.)
Per lb., 45 cents; 100 lbs., $40.00.

Orchard. Dacilis glomerata. A deep rooted perennial, growing in tufts. A strong, vigorous
grower, which succeeds best on rich lands or clayey soils. Should be cut for hay at the ime
of first flowering. Sow three bushels peracre if alone. (14 lbs. per bushel.) Per ib., 35 cents.
per bushel, $4.50; 100 lbs., $30.00.

Tall Oat Grass. Avena e/atior, A perennial which grows in loose tufts and throws up an
abundance of leaves and tall stalks. Succeeds best on rich upland soils, and when once
established is a great drought resister. Early. Makes its heaviest growth the second year.
Lb., 35 cents ; 100 lbs., $30.00.

Italian Rye Grass. Lolium Jtalicum. A biennial which grows in broad compact tufts,
producing a large number of stalks from a single root. Succeeds best in warm, rich, moist
soils. A rapid grower and a good crop to rid land of weeds, as it quickly overtops them,
preventing them from ripening seeds. Sow three bushels per acre. (22 lbs. per bushel.) Per
lb., 15 cents; 100 lbs., $10.00.

Perennial Rye Grass. Lolium perenne. A perennial forming large and broad tufts. Grows
best on stiff, wet soils, and on heavy clays or marshy lands where the soil is good, it is one of

FARQUHAR’'S SPECIAL GRASS MIXTURES.

—- 4 , ‘ ae ; 4 ~

Ie is a well-established fact that soils sown with a variety of different grasses which are adapted to the soil and which attain perfection at alternate
months from April to September, produce very much larger and more satisfactory crops, both for hay and pasturage, than when only one or two kinds.
of grasses or clovers are sown. The results given by our mixtures have been most satisfactory, and have resulted in a very large increase in our
trade for same. We unhesitatingly recommend them for use on the largest scale. Fall seeding is preferable, but spring sowing will be successful if done
early, when the land is cool and moist. In addition to the Grasses, we advise sowing 10 lbs. of mixed Clover Seed per acre. Clovers in their young
state are tender in our climate, and should therefore be sown in spring, separately, being heavier in weight.

Sand Vetch, or Hairy Vetch. Vicia villosa. ‘This annual is a native of Western Asia, and has been cultivated in this country and Europe
for about fifty years. Its desirability as a forage crop has become established, and it is being cultivated each year on a more and more extensive scale.
It should be sown at the rate of from four to six pecks per acre, broadcast or in drills, from August 15 to October 1, and with it as a supporting crop to
raise the vines up off the ground there should be planted from two to four pecks of winter Wheat, Oats, or Rye. It should be cut while the Vetch is
in full bloom, It may be planted in spring in order to supply an early green crop for soiling purposes, or in midsummer for late autumn forage. Per lb.,

Rye, Fall or Winter. The time for sowing is from the middle of August to the last of September. Prepare the ground as for Wheat and
sow broadcast, or with a drill at the rate of one and one-half bushels per acre. This has no equal as a crop to be used for late fall and early spring
pasture, and is one of the best to turn under for green manure. (56 lbs. per bush.) Per bushel, $1.75.

They may also be planted in single rows three feet apart

FIRST EARLY.

The fruit is of round conical form, glossy, dark red color, and of mildly acid flavor.
Mr. Johnson, the introducer, says he has never seen any berry nearly its equal for
earliness, large size, attractive color, quality and firmness

A very productive, early variety, with large berries similar to Excelsior.

Large, round, bright scarlet, flavor always fine.

An extra early variety producmg immense crops of large, glossy, crimson berries, which are rich
The plants appear to thrive in all soils.

Virginia P. A medium sized berry of recent introduction ; flavor excellent; enormous yielder.

SECOND EARLY.

Climax. This is an extremely popular new variety, immensely productive,
the berries being slightly over medium size. Plant vigorous, healthy
grower, of a peculiar shade of green that can be distinguished from
other varieties. Our stock is from plants procured of the originator and
is exceptionally fine.

Glen Mary. Large, conical, bright red berries; firm and of fine flavor.

Sample. P. Excellent for either market or home use; prolific, large,
firm, and delicious.

Senator Dunlap. Mr. Crawford, at the time of its introduction by him,
said that he doubted if he had ever sent out a berry better than Senator
Dunlap. It will keep in fair condition for several days on the vines
after being ripe enough to pick. The fruit is large, rich and dark red
clear to the centre, with a very rich flavor.

MEDIUM.

Barrymore. This new strawberry was awarded a Silver Medal by the
Mass. Hort. Society in 1908, for its excellence. The plants are of strong
growth and very productive. The conical-shaped berries are of medium
size and of a dark, glossy, crimson color; the flesh is a rich red and very
juicy. Per 100, $4.00.

Abington. A strong growing native variety of recent introduction.
The fruit is of large size, bright red in color, very solid and of excellent
flavor.

Bubach. P. A well known popular variety, with large berries of a rich,
bright red color; very prolific.

Big Ben. A new seedling variety of merit which in some sections of
this state has become the favorite fancy market sort. The plants are
of vigorous growth and very productive with large fruit of a rich crimson
color. Per 100, $4.00; $35.00 per 1000.

Brandywine. A large heart-shaped berry, perfect in form, bright red in
color, firm flesh, red to the centre and of rich spicy flavor. A great
cropper especially on heavy soils, holds its fruit well up from the ground
and generally succeeds everywhere.

Golden Gate. A strong growing variety bearing rich crimson fruit
without green tips and with quality similar to the MWarsha//. It blooms

early and late making it a good: variety to pollenize the pistillate sorts.

Mark Hanna. P. An exceedingly prolific variety ripening in mid-
season. The berries are of enormous size, attractive in color and of
splendid quality

Marshall. The fruit of this remarkable sort is of enormous size, of
handsome, glossy, dark crimson color, and of delicious flavor. It is one
of the best midseason berries, either for private use or market. It is
a vigorous grower and requires good soil and high cultivation. As it
does not thrive in all soils, it should not be planted extensively until its
adaptability is ascertained.

Minute Man. P. Very productive, and free growing sort with large
solid berries. A fine market variety.

New York. One of the best sorts for private or market gardens. The
berries are large, of long conical form; dark red color, firm texture and
of remarkably sweet flavor. In the market they sell at sight.

Pride of Cumberland. The plant is a vigorous grower and free from
rust, and ripening about one week earlier than Gandy; It is nearly as
large, equally firm, as good a color, thriving in either high or low land,
but owing to the immense crops it sets, the ground should be well
fertilized to ensure best results.

LATE TO VERY LATE.

This old favorite is still considered by many to be the finest
The fruit is of handsome appearance and keeps well.

Chesapeake. The plants of the Chesapeake are large and vigorous
with rich dark green foliage. The fruit is of large size, deep red in
color and of a rich aromatic flavor.

Commonwealth. This is the latest of all Strawberries; bearing large
conical, deep crimson fruit, sweet and of quality equal to the well known
Bubach. Not only an extra large berry, but also very productive, of
deep rich color and solid. It is smooth and quite juicy. The plants are
strong, not quite so rank in growth as the Marshall, and free from rust.
One of the best introductions of recent years.

Gandy. This popular old variety is probably known by most berry
growers. It is more largely grown than any other late variety. It is at
home on black swamp land if well drained, upon medium stiff or red
clay land. On sandy soils it is unproductive. All late varieties are
compared by Gandy, which is the highest praise that could be given it.

Belmont.
late berry.

Large size, fine appearance and remarkable keeping and carrying qualities.

New Home. As late and large as Gandy, fruit a bright red color that
does not lose its lustre and turn dark for a long time after being picked.
It is a vigorous grower, and, unlike Gandy, will produce a large crop on
either high or low land. The fruit is so firm and keeps so well, it does
not need to be picked oftener than three times a wéek. Its great
productiveness, uniform large size, and unsurpassed carrying and keep-
ing qualities make it one of the most desirable on the list.

William Belt. An exceptionally fine berry. In quality it heads the list.
The berries are as large, with some specimens larger than the Bubach.
It is about as productive as the Bubach, and of nearly the same shape.
Its color is a bright, glossy, deep red ; its season as late as Gandy.

Stevens’ Late Champion. A new variety of the Gandy type yielding
large crops of beautiful berries very late in the season. In New Jersey
it is considered one of the finest sorts for late crop.

ENGLISH VARIETIES. Per. dozen, $1.25

British Queen. A popular English variety producing large, conical pale
red berries of excellent flavor.
President. The fruit is crimson in color and of superior flavor.

Standard. Very early, small dark red berries of fine flavor, forces well.
Duke of Edinburgh. Late. Fruit irregular, but otherwise similar to
British Queen.
