__ The increasing practice of planting bulbs extensively in the Rock Garden, Woodlands, Wild Garden and among Grass produces an effect which is nearer to nature than any other style of gardening. ; Daffodils, Snowdrops, Crocuses, Scillas, Chionodoxas, etc., growing amid such surroundings have a charm that is not to be found in the more conventional beds and borders of the cultivated garden. 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. Varieties preceded by a * are particularly adapted to the Rock Garden. A full description of the following varieties will be found in the body of the catalogue.

CULTURE OF HYACINTHS.

Hyacinths in Pots. It is important in the pot culture of the hyacinth to have rich, light soil—if possible, a compost 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 nourish 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 Glasses. The single 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 freez- ing and thawing 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, which 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 SELECTED NAMED BEDDING AND FORCING HYACINTHS.

This highly decorative class of Hyacinths 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 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.

AUTUMN CATALOGUE, 1917. FARQUHAR’S SINGLE EARLY TULIPS.

If by Parcel Post add postage at zone rates; weight per 100, 7 lbs.

Tulips are such universal favorites that it is scarcely necessary to dwell upon their merits here. In them we possess a range of colors

and combination of shades which no other class affords; besides, the standard sorts are so reasonable in price that they can now be planted in quantity. For bedding, pot-culture and forcing for cut flowers in winter they are invaluable.

CULTURE. The cultural directions given for hyacinths on page 2 can be applied to Tulips, except that the bulbs being smaller must not be planted quite so deep. Four to five inches to the bottom of the bulb is deep enough and a distance of 4 to 6 inches between the bulbs is sufficient.They may be planted in October and November

before the ground freezes, For pots, six to eight bulbs in a 7 inch pan is very satisfactory. >. zy x mate as: vs =

FARQUHAR’S SINGLE MAY-FLOWERING OR COTTAGE GARDEN TULIPS.

HE May-Flowering Tulips are usually in full bloom about Memorial 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. Fer cutting they are even better than the early tulips—the flowers being stronger and lasting longer.

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 improve 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 illustration on page I shows a plantation of Poeticus, one of the cheapest, yet most fascinating Daffo- dils. Other inexpensive forms suitable for such massing are Barri Conspicuus and many of the Leedsi and In- comparabilis 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 extremely 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 situations.

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 flowers 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.

These may be grown in pots of earth, but are more interesting and very satisfactory in bowls partially filled with pebbles and water.

The flowers are mostly white with yel- low cups and are very fragrant.

They may be easily and

quickly forced; our florists frequently have them in bloom by Thanksgiving. 2

LILIES FOR THE OPEN GROUND:

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

SPECIAL NOTICE. Many of the late-flowering Lilies cannot be shipped from Japan until October, and to save our customers the annoy- ance and expense of making shipments as they arrive, we have decided to send all the early varieties, approximately September 15-30. The late sorts. being subject to delays of steamers, etc., will be forwarded early in November, or as soon thereafter as they arrive. We advise the preparation 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 soris comprise the following: Auratum, Batemanni, Krameri, Henryi and Speciosum.

This grand new species is acknowledged to be the finest lily.in cultivation It has received the fol- lowing awards:

Gold Medal, Massa= chusetts Horticultural Society.

Gold Medal, National

Flower Show, New York.

First Class Cert. International Exhibi= tion, London, 1912.

Field of Lilium regale at our Roslindale Nursery.

Liiium Regale. (Myriophyllum.) (The Regal Lily.) 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 pre- dicted that this will become the Easter Lily of the future, and being so hardy, may be grown at home. The flowers are white, slightly suffused with pink, with a beautiful shade of canary yellow at the centre, and extending part way up the trumpet. It is delightfully perfumed, reminding one of the jasmine, and lacking the heavy oppressive odor of most lilies. Blooms out of doors early in July. Awarded a Gold Medal by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, and a first-class certificate by the Royal International Exhibition, London, 1912. (Bulbs ready in October.) $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz.; $80.00 per 100.

LILIES “FOR FORGING:

If wanted by mail, add 5 cents each.

‘THE 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 setting 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.

MISCELLANEOUS BULBS.

AMARYLLIS.

& order to obtain fine specimens of Amaryllis, the following method should be observed: On receipt of the bulbs in the autumn they should be placed where they will be always slightly moist and warm, under the benches of a greenhouse, for example; do not pot up the bulbs before the flower buds appear; when first potted give very little water, and promote growth by giving moderate bottom heat; increase the supply of water as the plants progress. Very often the mistake is made that bulbs are potted up too early; the consequence is that only leaf growth is made. The proper soil for Amaryllis is turfy loam enriched with rotten manure.

FARQUHAR’S GOLD-MEDAL P/AEONIES.

The Gold Medal of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society was awarded to R. & J. Farquhar & Co.

Display of Ponies, June, 1913.

SEPTEMBER is the best month in which to plant Pzonies,

as they then make a root growth before winter and bloom next spring, thereby gaining a whole year, as spring plantings will not flower until a year later.

They require a good rich, deep soil and an abundant supply of water during the growing season. When enriching the ground the use of too much fresh manure near the roots should be avoided, An important point to observe is not to plant too deep. The roots should be planted so that the eyes will be 2 to 3 inches below the surface. Too deep planting is a frequent cause for shy flowering. i

Of many sorts we offer 4-year clumps, which are likely to yield from six to ten blooms the first season.

The figure following the name indicates the relative time of flowering.

HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS.

GARDEN FLOWERS.

™T HE favorites of the old-time gardens are coming to the front, and deservedly 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 interest- ing than the usual greenhouse assortment, and equally valuable for garden embellishment and cutting purposes. The Hardy Plants have the advantage of greater permanency, requiring only cultivation, enriching, a slight mulch during winter, and occasional checking of the more robust growers, to keep the plantation in good condition for years.

Where early flowers are desired we advocate the introduction of groups of Narcissi, Scillas, Crocuses, Snowdrops, Chionodoxas and other Spring-flowering bulbous plants, which should be planted in October, as well as Montbretias, the hardier 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 season and which have been found generally hardy and desirable for the severe climate of New England.

FARQUHAR’S EVERGREEN LAWN GRASS.

FARQUHAR S EVERGREEN LAWN GRASS is a mixture of the finest American and European grasses adapted to lawn-making. The formula for this mixure is the result of life-time practical experience in making and maintaining lawns. Neither pains nor expense are spared in obtaining grasses of high vitality and purity. It is our constant aim to make Farquhar’s Evergreen Lawn Grass the best, purest and most permanent Lawn Grass sold. For the formation of new lawns sow not less than 5 to 6 bushels per acre. One quart will sow a plot 15 x 20 feet or 300 square feet. For renovating existing turf use one-half of this quantity. Price per quart, 25 cents

(by mail 35 cents); 4 quarts, 90 cents; peck $1.75; bushel, of 20 Ibs., $6.00.

, a, FARQUHAR’S “HEAVY-SEED” EVERGREEN LAWN GRASS MIXTURE. Many tawn and _ golf-tink experts now prefer to use grass seed mixtures composed chiefly of hulled seeds. To meet this demand we now offer this mixture, the formula of which differs but slightly from that of ‘‘Farquhar’s Evergreen.”’ In our ‘‘Heavy-Seed Evergreen Mixture” most of the grasses have been divested of their chaff or hulls—the exceptions being several valuable kinds to which the hulling process cannot be practically applied. For sowing new lawns use four to six bushels per acre and for renovating old lawns use two to three bushels per acre. Price per bushel, $10.00; 10 to 25 bushels, $9.75 per bushel; 25 to 50 bushels, $9.50 per bushel; 50 bushels and upwards, $9.25 per bushel. 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 diffi- culty 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 not less than 64 Ibs. per acre and in many cases 86 lbs. will be an advantage. Price, 35 cents per Ib.; by mail, 40 cents. 10 Ibs., $3.25; 100 Ibs., $32.00;

25 Ibs. and upwards at the 100 Ib. rate.

Sow 100 lbs. per acre. Per lb., .35; per 100 lbs., at 32 cents per lb.; per 1000 Ibs. at 30 cents per lb.

CE@QVERS:

Red Medium. (Trifolium pratense.) The best clover for all practical purposes. Succeeds best on rich warm loams, containing humus. Lime and potash are essential for its best development. A biennial, but by close pasturage may be made to last several years. Per lb., 40 cents; 100 lbs., $35.00. _

Mammoth or Large Red Northern. (Tvifolium pratense.) On rich loamy soil this variety grows nearly twice as large as the Medium Red Clover and earlier to start a Spring growth. Per lb., 35 cents; 100 lbs., $32.00.

White Clover. (Trifolium repens.) This Clover should always be sown on per- manent or temporary pastures. Will grow on any soil, but especially adapted to low meadows, where the surface soil is mellow and rich. Ordinarily will not last more than two years on hard or shallow soil. Sweet and nutritious. Per lb., 80 cents; 100 lbs., $75.00.

Alfalfa or Lucerne. (Medicago sativa.) The chief merit of Alfalfa is the fact that it can be cut three or four times in a season. The soil should be deep, rich and well- prepared. It does not succeed on compact clay, nor on land with impervious sub- soil. The roots shoot downward till they are ten or fifteen feet below the surface, and will therefore resist the driest weather. Per lb., 35 cents; 100 lbs., $30.00.

Scarlet or Crimson Clover. (Trifolium incarnatum.) This annual Clover thrives best on warm, loose, sandy soil. Its chief value is as a Winter or carly Spring pasture crop and as a green manure. May be sown at any time from May to

G 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 isin 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. Peck, $5.00; bushel (60 lbs.), $18.00.

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, $4.00; 10 bushels, $39.50.
