Our Mr. JAMES FARQUHAR has been in Europe for the past three months attending to our importations of Bulbs, Seeds and Plants. He was also in Europe at the beginning of the present year in the same interests.
It has been our custom for many years to visit sources of supply the world over, and we have been enabled thereby to obtain and supply the finest productions in our various lines.
Our Dutch Bulbs are the finest brought to the United States; the Growers in Holland admit, this, and one of our leading firms has informed us that our Contract to them for the present year was the largest placed in Holland by any American House.
We solicit a trial order from any one who may have not bought previously
from us, and we invite intending purchasers to call and examine our Bulbs.
BULBS BY MAIL.
Bulbs securely packed will be sent by mail, POSTAGE PREPAID, to all parts of the United States, at the single or dozen prices quoted in the Catalogue, excepting a few heavy species for which the mail prices are given.
AT OUR GREENHOUSES
We carry large stocks of:
Araucaria Excelsa,
Begonias, Cycas revoluta, Ferns, Ficus Elastica,
Palms
and other Decorative Plants for house and greenhouse. We also carry fine
Plants of the leading varieties of Greenhouse Grapes.

HYACINTHS.
NOTES ON THEIR CULTURE.
HYACINTHS IN POTS.—It is important in the pot culture of the Hyacinth to have rich light soil; a compost, one-third decayed turf, one-third rotted cow manure —a year old at least—and the remainder equal parts sharp sand and leaf-mould. will be found excellent. The compost should be made a few weeks before being used. If the bulbs are to be potted singly, pots five inches in diameter should be used. Cover the hole in the pot with a piece of broken pot and over this place a layer of moss, which will keep the soil from clogging the drainage thus provided. Break off any offsets which appear at the base of the bulb, and in potting place the bulb so that its top shall be half an inch below the level of the surface of the soil, and about an inch below the rim of the pot. The soil should be moderately moist and should not be pressed too firmly. 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 four to six weeks, they 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 them depends much in 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 it and failure results.
Hyacinths for early use may be potted in September, although October is perhaps the best time; late planting is not advisable as the bulbs deteriorate; it is better to pot them in October and keep them ina cold frame above freezing, when desired for late use. ;
To obtain dwarf foliage and fine flower spikes, Hyacinths when being forced, should have plenty of manure- water, fresh air, and 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. Ifthe water in the glasses becomes foul, or diminished, replace it with fresh water 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, but 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 bein the ground by the end of October.
Bulbs planted early, develop roots in the autumn and these, if protected from injury by freezing and thaw- img alternately during the winter, enable the bulbs to produce much larger flower spikes than if the roots are not developed till 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 spring.
Hyacinths should be set about six inches below the surface of the ground and about six inches apart.

TULIPS.
For out-door Spring decoration none of the bulbous plants are quite so pop- ular with us as -the Tulip. Being exceedingly hardy, Tulips are seldom injured by the rigour of our winters; they are easily grown and produce the most gorgeous display.
They are equally valuable for winter uaace in the greenhouse or win-
ow.
OUT-DOOR CULTIVATION. — The beds should be made perfectly loose toa depth of fifteen inches and liberally enriched with well-rotted cow manure. The bulbs should be set five inches deep and five or six inches apart. October is the proper time to plant Tulips, although they may be set out during November if the ground remains open. Before winter sets in the beds, like all bulb beds, should be covered with leaves or other mulch to a depth of six inches, to protect the bulbs from freezing and thawing repeatedly. The mulch should be removed early in spring, but a little of it may be loosely replaced over tender shoots above ground for a few days to avoid exposing them too suddenly.
INSIDE CULTIVATION —The soil should be a compost similar to that recommended for Hyacinths. Tulips are most effective when planted in bulb pans, which should not be less thar six inches in diameter: six bulbs in a six inch pan, nine toan eight inch pan and twelve in a pan ten inches in diameter. The bulbs should be planted in October and kept moist in a dark cool place, protected from frost, until they have rooted. Unless wanted for early forcing it is beneficial to keep them dark until the tops have started two or three inches above the soil, when they may be brought gradually to the light.
Our Tulips are grown for us by the leading specialists of Holland and are unrivalled for
size and quality. SINGLE EARLY TULIPS.

Among cultivators the come mercia! florists have been foremost to give the Narcis- sus or Daffodils the attention due them. They have learned how easily and successfully these lovely flowers may be forced into bloom during win- ter (even as early as Christ- mas) and how fascinating and lasting are the blossoms. 4 They may be planted in pots. or bulb pans six inches or “more in diameter, several bulbs in each, according to f size, and treated in the same manner as Hyacinths.
Narcissi are equally desir- able for spring bedding. They should be planted in October or early in November to pro- duce the best results. 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. Groups of Daffodils in borders of hardy herbaceous plants and along the edges of shrubbery beds are exceedingly effective and delicately beautiful. They are charming, too, planted in _beds, especially when com- bined with an undergrowth of the blue Scilla Siberica, Forget-me-not, or other dwarf spring flowers.

MEDIUM TRUMPET NARCISSUS,
This class includes many of the most beautiful and useful daffodils, 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 cultiv ation and forcing in the green-house or window.

CHINESE SACRED NARCISSUS.
Joss Ficwer or Oriental New Year’s Lily.
These may be grown in pots of earth, but are more interesting and very satisfactory in bowls partially filled with pebbles and water. As the roots develop they form a net-work about the pebbles, thus supporting the plant when in bloom. They should be started and grown in bright light, but carefully protected from draughts. The flowers are mostly white with yellow cups and are very fragrant.
In visiting China recently, we learned that the best bulbs are produced near Canton, and we have arranged for a supply from that locality.

CROCUS.
spring the Crocus appears, often early in March. Its hardiness and _ earliness has made it one of the most cherished spring flowers. It is also highly ornamental, not only for bordering flower beds and shrubbery groups, but for planting in lawns, either promiscuously or in ar- rangements of color. The bulbs should be set three inches deep, and should be planted in October or early in November to insure success. They are very effective when com- bined with Snowdrops, Scilla Siberica, Daffodils and other spring flowers. The Crocus can also be grown indoors either in pots or bulb pans in loam; or, in dishes fled with wet moss in which the bulbs are set closely, half an inch below the surface.

LILIES.
No class of Bulbous plants supercedes the Lilies in stately decorative effect, elegance of form, richness of color and fragrance combined. The amateur, commercial florist and land- scape gardener employ them more and more each year; their hardiness, adaptability, luxur- iant floresence and long duration rendering them indispensable for purposes of decoration in every line of floriculture.
LILIES FOR FORCING. |
The bulbs may be potted from August onward in a compost of equal parts turfy loam, leaf mould, rotten cow manure and sand. It is best to start them in pots not exceeding twice their own diam- eter, in which they may remain till 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 becoming sour, and enables the roots form- ing at the base of the stem to become feeders, greatly increasing the number and size of the
blossoms. LILIUM HARRISII.

LILIES FOR THE OPEN GROUND.
The increased produc- tion of many varieties of these in Japan has greatly reduced their cost, and in consequence their use has now become very general.
It is our opinion that we should plant the bulbs much deeper than we have done heretofore. While travelling in Japan re- cently, we found that the bulbs of the wild Lilies were usually twelve to eighteen inches below the surface, and we gathered the finest flowers from specimens growing on mountains of decaying lava where they had abundant rainfall and ample drainage. We be- lieve that varieties like Auratum and Speciosum would be favored by being set ten or twelve inches deep and would be less affected by frost and drought. The beds should be thoroughly covered with leaves or litter during winter.
Many of the late-flow- ering sorts cannot be shipped from Japan until October; persons desir- ing to plant in the autumn should therefore prepare the beds and cover them with leaves to prevent the ground freezing until the bulbs arrive.

LILY OF THE VALLEY. CONVALLARIA.
For open ground planting we offer large clumps, each containing many flowering crowns. These may be set from six inches to a foot apart and cov- ered three inches. They succeed best in ground which is rather moist and partially shaded.
For forcing the pips are to be preferred, being grown under conditions tending to promote vigor- ous and early blooming. Twelve to eighteen pips may be planted in a 6-inch pot, with all the fibrous roots carefully preserved, and keeping the crowns above the soil. Place them in a temperature of about 80 degrees, cover the crowns with loose moss and keep them constantly moist with tepid water. They should flower in about five weeks.

BEGONIA GLOIRE DE LORRAINE.
Of all Winter-Blooming Plants, Begonia Gloire de Lorraine and its. varieties, are the most lavish in their production of flowers. From Octo- ber until May, the plants are so profusely covered with blossoms as to almost conceal the foliage. The flowers of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine are of a bright salmon-rose color, growing in large gracefully drooping panicles. Since its introduction this plant has been constantly gaining in popularity, so that the supply has been quite inadequate.
Mr. WILLIAM FALCONER, Superintendent of Schenley Park, at Pittsburg,. Penn., writing us, Feb. 25, 1899, says: ‘ Begonia Gloire de Lorraine received today. It is a very beautiful little plant and so full of blossoms. It is one of the real good things of recent introduction.”
The plants we offer have not been forced, but have been cool-grown and are stout and stocky. With ordinary care they should remain in full bloom for several months, either in: the house or conservatory.
Plants, from 2¥ inch pots, each, 20 cts.; per dozen, $2.00; by mail, each, 30 cts.
Plants, from4 _ inch pots, each, 35 cts.; per dozen, $3.50; by mail, each, 50 cts.

: BEGONIA CALEDONIA.
The White Variety of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine.
Last year European horticulturists were startled by the unexpected appearance of a pure white variety of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, which when exhibited in London received thegwell merited distinction of the First Class Certificate of the Royal Horticultural Society. Desirous of placing this new plant within the reach of our customers at the ear- liest moment, our Mr. JAMES FARQUHAR, made a special trip to Europe, and arrangements were made with the Originator that enable us now to offer in the United States the only plants which have passed out of his hands for simultaneous delivery with him.
CALEDONIA has the same beautiful foliage as “Gloire de Lorraine,” the same habit, the same height, the same marvelous floriferousness, the same persistency of petal, the same continuity of flowering, while it has proved itself of even more vigorous and robust growth.
Plants, for delivery about Nov. Ist, each, $5.00.

POT GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS.
These if planted in August or Septem-= : ber producea large crop the next sum-=- mer. Being grown in pots they may be shipped to a distance and planted with almost no interruption to their growth. The earlier they are planted the larger the first season’s crop will be. The plants may be set in beds of three rows, one foot apart, and one foot distant in the rows, with a space of two and a half feet between the outside rows of adjoining beds left fora pathway. They may also be planted in single rows three feet apart.and one foot apart in the rows.
Bi-sexual or stamenate varieties marked S, are self fertilizing. FPistillate, or imperfect varieties are marked P, require a stamenate sort planted near them for fertilization.
Prices: The Talbot, $4.00 per 100. Nick Ohmer, $3.00 per 100. Other varieties, listed, $2.50 per 100.
THE TALBOT. (P.) This splendid new variety is of even stronger growth than the now famous Marshall Strawberry, and grown side by side with that variety has produced much heavier crops. The fruit is of bright red color, and does not turn blackish when fully ripe, as the Marshall is inclin- ed to do. It is of roundish conical form; the flesh being firm, close grained, and of delicious flavor. When exhibited last year at the Worcester County Horticultural Society’s Strawberry Exhibition, The Talbot received the highest award for excel- lence overall othersorts. Being a native of New England, the adaptability of The Talbot is as- sured, and it cannot fail to become a popular and profitable sort for both private use and the market.

Wh fruit is not surpassed.

HOT-HOUSE GRAPES.
It has hitherto been necessary, when one
desired to plant a Grapery to import the grape vines, if strong canes of the best sorts were desired, and the expense including duty and freight of p’ants in large pots was excessive.
To meet the long felt want of a home source of supply we have grown from the best imported stocks over a thousand plants, comprising the
following sorts, namely :
Black Hamburg.
Black Alicante.
Bowood Muscat. White.
Lady Downe’'s Seedling. Black. Madresfield Court. Black.
Mrs. J. R. Pearson. White. Muscat of Alexandria. White.
Black Hamburg and Madresfield Court are adapted to both hot and cold graperies ; the other sorts to hot graperies only.
Strong plants of the above sorts $1.00 each.
ENGLISH MILLTRACK MUSHROOM SPAWN.
The constantly increasing demand for mushrooms taxes to a greater degree the skill and perseverance of the grower. Fresh, live spawn must be obtained, without which success would be impossible. We are fully alive to the importance of quality in spawn to the mush- room-raiser and we get the best produced. It is prepared from virgin mycelium, in a compost most favorable to its development and preservation. It is germinated, and developed under special scientific methods, the conditions of air, light, heat and humidity of the spawning houses being carefully regulated. Our mushroom-spawn then is not the uncer- tain material of the past, but is of uniform quality, prepared by the most successful and pro- gressive mushroom specialist in England. Under proper treatment, it has never been known to fail. We import every two or three months to ensure freshness.
Per Ib., 15c.; 8 Ibs., $1.00; 100 Ibs., $9.00; by mail per Ib., 25c.

ANDOVER, MAss., Jan. 20, 1900. Messrs. R: & J. FARQUHAR & Co.,
The Mushroom Spawn I received from you last Fall is the best I ever had. My first bed began to yield on December ist., and it looks fully as well today as at any time during its bearing. It is completely alive with small Mushrooms. I expect to get into Boston in about two weeks, when I will bring in another order for Seeds.
Respectfully yours, J. H. PLAYDON.
MALDEN, Mass, Dec. 2, 1899. Messrs. R. & J. FARQUHAR & Co., Gentlemen: — 1 wish to write you regarding the English Mill Track Mushroom Spawn I purchased from you. It is the finest I ever saw, the bed being completely covered with mushrooms of good texture and color. Yours very truly, DT E.R, Supt. toils. GC:

LAWN GRASS. SUGGESTIONS ON MAKING AND CARING FOR LAWNS.
The ground selected for lawn, should have at least a foot in depth of good soil; it should be thoroughly pulver- ized and liberally enriched with well-rotted barn-yard dressing, dug well under, and the surface made perfectly smooth.
The seed sown should be a mixture of hardy, dwarf-growing grasses, free from the seeds of weeds, and when used on light soils, a little white clover should be added, say one pound to the bushel.
The seeds should be lightly raked in and the ground rolled to make the surface firm.
Perhaps the best time of the year to sow a new lawn is September; the natural seeds of weeds which are present in every soil donot start then, and the grass gets a season’s growth in advance of the weeds. The next best season is early spring, the earlier the better, so that the grass may get started as much as possible before indigenous weeds.
The after care of a lawn is also important. It should be regularly cut, otherwise the coarser grasses will grow up and choke outthe finer sorts, thus destroying the smooth velvety surface so much to be desired. It should be regularly enriched by top-dressing with good abatoir lawn dressing, fine ground bone, unleached wood ashes, etc. Lawn dressings composed entirely of chemicals, should be used cautiously and applied only when the grass is dry. Barn-yard manure should never be used to top-dress lawns; it usually contains seeds of noxious w eeds from the hay, which when introduced, are difficult to exterminate.
"Ev ery spring the lawn should be raked over with a steel garden rake, which will take out dead grass and scratch the ground somewhat. A little lawn grass seed should be scattered over bare or thin spots, and the whole rolled to render the surface even and firm.
,
Farquhar’s Evergreen Lawn Grass. A mixture of dwarf, hardy persistent grasses pro- ducing a close, deep green, velvety turf. Only fresh, clean seeds, of high germination are used. Our Grass Seeds are celebrated throughout New England and are extensively used in the parks of Boston, the Newport and Lenex estates and other leading summer resorts. Per bushel, $4.00; per peck, $1.00; per quart, 20 cents. By mail, postage-paid peck, $1.50; quart, 25 cents.
New Boston Parks Lawn=Seed. We have received from Messrs. Olmsted, Olmsted & Eliot, their formula used in seeding the beautiful lawns and terraces of Boston’s new parks. Franklin Park and in fact all the Metropolitan parks have been planned by this firm of eminent landscape architects, and their formula for the Lawn-Grass Seed mixture used may be accepted as the best which great experience and extended knowledge can suggest. The seed is fresh, clean and free from weeds, producing a perfect, velvety green turf in a remarkably short time.

SPECIAL GRASS SEED MIXTURES.
This department of our business receives particular attention. All our formulas and mixtures are personally prepared by Mr. James Farquhar.
FARQUHAR’S MIXTURE FOR SHADY PLACES. This is a mixture of extra fine grasses adapted for growing in the shade. We recommend the use of this mixture wherever other gr:sses have failed to make a close sward. Quart 35 cents; peck, $1.50; per bushel of 20 Ibs,, $5.00.
The following specially prepared Mixtures at a uniform price as follows, viz.: '
Quart, 30 cents; peck, $1.50; per bushel of 20 Ibs., $5.00. If by mail add 8 cents per quart extra. Special quotations for large quantities.
THE **GOLF LINKS’’ MIXTURE.
During the last visit to Scotland, we visited several of the courses, to ascertain the variety of Grasses generally used to produce the fine, close sward so common there. We have supplied several Clubs the past year with the Mixture, which we now offer and which is the result of a careful study of the requirements for making beautiful Golf Links. We do not hesitate to say that it has given entire satisfaction.
THE ‘*PUTTING GREEN’? MIXTURE.
The very finest low growing Grasses are contained in this Mixture and they are alsoveryhardy. This Mixture will produce a beautiful and lasting green turf wherever used.
THE ‘*‘ TERRACE”’ MIXTURE.
This is a Mixture of strong, deep reoted Grasses for ‘‘banks”’ or “‘terraces.’’? Although the Grasses are strong and deep rooted, they will produce a fine green velvety appearance, and also prevent the Terrace from being washed away during heavy rains,

JOHNSON’S GARDENER’S DICTIONARY.
Every one with a garden should own this admirable revised and greatly enlarged edition of Johnson’s Gardener’s Dictionary, first published in 1846. It contains a fulland reliable list of cultivated plants, names printed in bold type, rendering references easy. An important feature of the work is the placing of synonyms alongside the correct name, instead of in a separate list. The habitat of each variety is given, also the date of its introduction. Practical cultural directions are given. Insect foes, diseases, and their remedies are fully described, and many of the former are illustrated. The Dictionary is a large handsomely bound volume, and is a reliable book of reference for gardeners, florists, and amateur horticulturists . . $4.00
