Our Catalogue Cover Illustrates Three of the Most Satisfactory Decorative Plants in Existence. We have been propagating them extensively during the past year in order to offer-them at the low prices now quoted. As the demand will undoubtedly be large, orders should be sent early to avoid disappointment. BEGONIA GLOIRE de LORRAINE NANA COMPACTA. Our own novelty, now offered for the first time. (See illustration on last cover page.) Amongst the many thousand plants of the new Begonia Giorie de Lorraine raised in our green- houses last year, one appeared of distinct and striking character. In foliage and color of the flowers the Nana Compacta form resembles its parent, its habit however is very different. Instead of drooping, it is of compact and erect growth, bearing enormous, dense trusses of bright salmon-rose flowers, shading lighter than those of the parent, and which almost conceal the leaves. Many of our plants grown in 4 inch pots, last season carried from 300 to 400 fully expanded blossoms at one time. The plants continue in profuse bloom from October to April, making this novelty one of the greatest acquisitions among winter-flowering plants for conservatory or house decoration. The American Florist of January 28th, 1899, says: — “As shown in the illustration the habit is very compact and the abundant blooms almost completely hide the foliage. As a table plant there can be nothing more elegant. The plant illustrated was exhibited before the Massachusetts Horticultural Society on January 14th, and received a First Class Certificate of Merit.” Plants in 24% inch POts ies igen re eee cee each, $0.25 ; by mail, $0.30 ee 38% se e ec e e ° o> s e e ° c . -50; 30 a eee Oped aac ol oe.

(IHustrated on first cover page.) This is undoubtedly the finest of all Cannas. It is of the new Neapolitan giant-flowering type, with blossoms equal in substance and endurance to the finest of the Crozy Cannas, although about double their size. The plant is of compact growth about four feet in height, furnished from the ground upwards with broad, massive green leaves, and well above them are borne splendid trusses of gorgeous carmine-scarlet flowers, broadly bor- dered with golden yellow. It is the most effective variety yet introduced for summer bedding, tropical groups or house cultivation. Plants...) . « « . each, $0.25; by mail, $0.30 CLEMATIS PANICULATA. The Snowflake Vine of Japan. (Illustrated on last cover page.) The plants we offer of this remarkable hardy vine, under favorable conditions should attain a height of twelve or fifteen feet, and flower profusely the first season. Its absolute hardiness, rapid growth, dense rich green foliage and multitude of white, delicately scented blossoms, covering the foliage in autumn like innumer- able snowflakes, make it one of the most useful and charming vines.

MIGNONETTE GROWN.’’ We have purchased of Mr. Charles Evans the entire seed crop of his splendid new Mignonette, which caused so much surprise and admiration of the Boston Flower Market last season. WALTHAM, MAss., July 3, 1899. According to promise, you will receive today, the onl lot of “ Evans’ Giant Mignonette” Seed I shall sell of this year’s crop. I planted a house of it, a section of which was reserved for seeding, and from the remainder I supplied the leading Boston florists. They all pronounce it the best Mignonette they ever had. CHARLES EVANS. Boston, Mass., July 19, 1899. Mr. Charles Evans has surprised the market with his new Mignonette. Nothing like it has ever been seen here, and he readily sold all he could cut at his own price. JoHN WALSH, Manager, Boston Flower Market. Boston, Mass., July 19, 1899. I have used from fifteen to twenty dozen of “ Evans’ Boston Giant Mignonette” daily, and can say truthfully it is the finest and most fragrant Mignonette grown. ; THOMAS F. GALVIN.

CYCLAMEN PERSICUM PAPILIO. : The new Butterfly Cyclamen, owe their origin to one of the cleverest of Belgian specialists, and may fairly be termed a most striking nov- elty. The raiser desired, as he states, “to replace the rather narrow shape and somewhat stiff bearing of the flower by a more graceful habit,” and he has succeeded in enriching the genus Cyclamen by large flowering varieties which nat, only differ radically in form from those hitherto existing, but also show \a series of new colors of surprising beauty, ranging from pure white to dark red, and including such tints as creamy white, light yellow. and greenish yellow, which mostly appear as bordering to other colours, thus forming the most delightful combinations and captivating the eye of the beholder at first sight.

The Kropkollar is a simple combination that will protect growing plants and. crops from cut worms or other boring insects, protect plants and creps ‘from early frosts and continued spring rains, and by the use of a square of glass furnish a cold frame or forcing bed at anominal cost to the farmer or gardener. The Kropkollar consists of a piece of fibre-board, giving, when fastened, an inside diameter of 6 inches. It tapers on the upper side from 6 inches at the back to 34 inchesin the front. There is a vertical projection at the back and it has two eyelet holes in each front end. A fastener of “ spring” copper enters the eyelet holes. This fastener has an extended end, or clamp at the top. The spring clamp receives and holds either the glass, for an early forcing. bed, or a fibre-board cover that will afford protection from frosts. There isa square of glass and a fibre-board cover which are the working parts of the Kropkollar. When the fastener is slipped through the eyelet holes the Kropkollar is pressed into the ground around the hills or drills containing the seed to sufficient depth; by the tapering of the Kropkollar from back to front it can be set in any land so as to give the largest possible horizon from sunrise to sunset, and by the pitch of the sides and back confines the sun’s rays and heat on the ground it encloses. Extending below the surface of the ground the Kropkollar forms an unbroken barrier against cut worms or other boring insects. Price: $5.00 a hundred, or 60 cents per dozen. This includes the collar, glass, frost cover and fastener. k. & J. FARQUHAR & COVS SEED CATALOGUE, Vv Farquhar’s Shore and Mountain Collection of Flower Seeds.

JONES’ STRINGLESS, WHITE SEED, ROUND POD WAX BEAN. This grand absolutely stringless bean, is the result of cross-breeding between Yosemite and a white seed cross from Ivory Pod Wax. It will without doubt become one of the most popular of all our Wax varieties now grown, combining points never before obtained in a ¢rue stringless wax pod. It is of true bush type free from any tendency to form runners, of strong growth, with medium tall stocky footstalk, and compact bushy tops, which are a complete mat of white blossoms from the ground to tip, is absolutely rust proof on all soils and in the most unfavorable season. It is nearly a week earlier than any strain of Black Wax, the pods forming very . -quickly and are long, perfectly round and exceptionally solid, of a delicate light yellow color, perfectly stringless at all -stages of growth, showing no coarseness even when past their prime; retains its brittleness and fine table quality when nearly matured. When ripe the seeds are white, medium, round and plump. In summing up its good ‘qualities the originator claims that more bushels per acre of green pods can be picked from an acre than from any other wax bean known and if left to ripen a larger yield of dry beans can be harvested than from the field varieties ; also can be planted later in the season with the certainty of acrop. For the home garden use two seeds in a hill, 10 to 12 inches between the hills, rows 18 to 24 inches apart. Pkt., .15. ROGERS’ LIMA WAX BUSH BEAN. A new variety with small white seeds and very thick-meated, tender, broad yellow pods. PKt., .10. FARQUHAR’S WHITE HORTICULTURAL POLE BEAN.

RUSSELL’S SELECTED THOUSAND-HEAD CABBAGE. In view of the increased development of Sheep Farming throughout New England, we have imported a trial lot of this cabbage, which is used as fodder in Europe. In addition to resisting the heat, it grows vigorously through the coldest Winter, and furnishes an abundant supply of succulent sprouts at the lamb- ing season. In England the farmers allow the lambs to go first through the crop and nibble these off, and then the ewes come in and clear up the remeinder. These young shoots are not only very nutritious but very palatable, more so than German greens. Pkt., 105; 0Z., .20; Ib., 1.00. SELECTED DANVERS HALF-LONGCARROT.

We offer our customers seed of the true Boston Market Celery as raised by the originator. As many gardeners know to their loss, there is a great deal of celery seed sold for Boston Market which: is worthless, producing a stringy, coarse and untrue: crop. The purity and quality of ourseed may be relied upon. Celery is an important crop; and as an ounce: of seed produces several thousand plants, this, the best, will prove to be the cheapest.

Many will recall the delicious flavor of the Potter’s Excelsior or Sguantum Corn when intro- duced about twenty-five years ago by the late Mr. Thomas Potter. At that time the seed ears sold readily for 25 cents each, so much superior was it to all sorts previously grown. Since then the variety has gone into general cultivation, and most of the seed growers have failed to keep the stock pure; in fact, the Potter’s Excelsior Corn usually sold under that name has become so crossed with inferior kinds that there has been much reason for com- plaint. As a consequence, we have had repeated calls for Mr. Potter’s strain, and we are now able to offer it. The true variety has been grown since its intro- duction, for family use, in a small way on the Potter farm in Rhode Island, year after year. The seed we now offer is from this pure stock, grown specially for us on the Potter farm; it is therefore true, and possesses all the fine qualities of the original. Asa main crop variety our original Potter’s Excelsior Sweet Corn cannot be surpassed for sweetness and tenderness. We recommend it with the utmost confidence.

While perfectly adapted to main crop planting, yet it matures so quickly that it will take first rank as an early sort. The form is perfect, uniform, large and attractive. Flesh very firm. Heavy cropper. The fruits are very deep from stem to blossom end, many of them being almost globe shaped. It ripens evenly, does not crack about the stem, and the flavor is most desirable. It has been tested for several years for staking up in the open field, as well as for forcing in greenhouses, and we believe it to be entirely unequalled for such purposes.

The Globe Artichoke is cultivated for its flower-heads, which, when cooked in a young state, are delicious. They are generally baked although there are many methods of cooking them. Culture.— The seeds should be sown in April or May and the plants, when large enough, transplanted into rows four feet apart and two feet distant in the rows. They bear the second year and continue as long as they are nourished and cultivated. They require protection during the winter; the simplest means being to bank them up like Celery, cutting away the very tall tops and covering exposed foliage with any coarse mulch which will not readily rot. They may be fruited the first season if sown under glass in February and the seedlings transplanted in May. They succeed best in a light, sandy loam, well-enriched. Pkt-g*Oz; Lb. Large Green Globe.

This is one of our most delicious vegetables, and when proper care is taken in making the beds and setting the plants, they will continue produc- tive for many years. Culture. The permanent bed should be trenched or ploughed very deeply, and well manured with rich, thoroughly decayed manure. Wide drills should then be made three feet apart, and deep enough to admit of the top of the plants being covered six inches. Plants, either one or two years old, may be purchased in spring, or may be produced from seed sown in drills one inch deep anda foot apart. Set the plants eighteen inches apart in the rows, carefully spreading out and separating the roots. For the sake of convenience, one drill should be made at a time, and the planting and covering completed before another is commenced. In November, the plants should have their annual top dressing of manure after the stalks have been cleared away. The dressing should be forked in as soon as the ground can be worked in spring, and the bed neatly raked. One ounce of seed sows sixty Jeet of drill. MOORE’S GIANT CROSS-BRED ASPARAGUS. Pkt. Oz. Lb.

For very early use sow in January or February in hot-beds, prick out when the plants are strong enough into other hot-beds,. or sow in cold frames in March. Transplant to the open ground when danger from killing frosts has passed, in rows two feet apart and: eighteen inches from plant to plant. For succession, sow in the open ground the last of March or early in April. Plants which have been sown in the autumn and wintered over in cold frames are usually set out from the middle of March to the middle of April, in rows about two feet apart and the plants eighteen inches apart. The autumn and winter varieties may be sown in April or early in May in shallow drills- three or four inches apart; transplant early in July, making the rows about two-and-a-half feet apart, and setting the plants two feet apart in the rows. Cabbage succeeds best in a fresh, rich soil, well manured, and deeply dug or plowed. The late plants are subject to attacks of the cabbage fly, which destroys them as fast as they appear above ground. To preserve the plants, sprinkle them early in the morning while they are wet with dew, with slug-shot or tobacco dust. Dalmatian Insect Powder sprinkled on the plants will keep off the cabbage worms- One ounce of seed produces about thirty-ive hundred plants. Express Extra Early.

The Cauliflower is the most delicious of all Brasstcas, and succeeds well in any soil where cabbages will grow. It delights in a rich soil and abundance ef water. By sowing the early varieties in a hot-bed in February or March, or later in a cold frame, fine heads can be obtained quite early. For a later supply, sow seed in a prepared bed in May, choosing a cool, moist place. When large enough, transplant, making the rows about two-and-a-half feet apart and eighteen inches between the plants. Transplanting should be done in moist weather. In dry seasons the crop must be watered. The young plants are frequently attacked by a little black beetle; its ravages may be stopped by frequent applications of plaster in the morning while the dew is on. For the cabbage-worm, apply Dalmatian Insect Powder. Oxe ounce of seed produces about three thousand plants. P Farquhars’ Earliest Dwarf Erfurt. The earliest, whitest, surest-heading and finest strain of cauliflower. The heads are very solid, large, and finely formed. The plants are dwarf with short outer leaves, permitting close ‘ planting.

It thrives best in a light, very rich, moist soil, with a dry substratum, but does well in a common garden soil enriched with rotted manure. For first crop sow in gentle heat in February, and trans~ plant to ten inches apart. For a summer supply, sow thinly in shallow drills, eighteen inches apart, and transplant, or thin out, leaving a foot between the plants. Sowings may be made from April to the end of August. One ounce of seed gives about four thousand plants. We make a specialty of the varieties of Lettuce grown in the vicinity of Boston, and the seed of these we offer is all home-grown, and saved with the utmost care. HITTINGER’S BELMONT FORCING LETTUCE.

FARQUHAR & COlS CATALOGUE. MUSHROOM, (C4garicus Campestris.) CULTURE. Mushrooms are more easily cultivated than many people imagine, and may be grown in any room or cellar where the temperature can be maintained at from fifty to sixty-five degrees. For the bed, use a mixture of three parts horse droppings and one part good fresh loam. Before being placed in the bed, let the manure be put in some dry place to sweeten, mixing it thor- oughly and turning it three or four times, when the loam may be added. Upona dry, firm bottom or shelf, proceed to make the bed by spreading a thin layer of the prepared mixture, pound- ing it firm, and continue thus, till the bedis twelve inches thick. Leave it thus for about a week, or till the temperature has sub- sided to eighty-five degrees. ‘Then make holes about ten inches apart, and put in each a piece of spawn about the size of an egg. Press the spawn firmly into the compost about two inches, leav- ing the top uncovered to allow the excess of heat and moisture to pass off without injury to the germs. After ten days, fill the holes and cover the whole bed with two inches of fresh loam, and over this place a few inches of straw. If the temperature is right, mushrooms will appear in six to eight weeks from time of spawning. The bed will continue bearing from four to six weeks. If the surface of the bed becomes dry at any time, it should be moistened freely with water at a temperature of eighty to eighty-five degrees. To stimulate the bed when it seems ex- hausted, the following treatment will sometimes give wonderful results: Soak the whole bed thoroughly with water at a tem- perature of one hundred and ten degrees, adding one pound of sheep manure to every five gallons. Ove pound of Farguhars’ English Mushroom Spawn is sufficient for six square feet of bed. The following works on the Mushroom will be mailed post-paid on receipt of price. Both are excellent authorities on the subject, and give plain and full directions : Mushroom Culture. By Robinson, 70 cents) How To Grow Mushrooms. By Wm.

In very rich soils the hills should be six feet apart; in poor soil, about five feet. Before planting the seed mix a peck of rotted manure with the soil in each hill. About the middle of May, plant the seeds half an inch deep—six or eight in each hill. When the plants are well up, thin out, leaving three to a hill. - One ounce of seed for sixty hills; two te three pounds for an acre. Farquhars’ Honey=Drop.

The Onion has been cultivated as an article of food from the earliest times, and is perhaps at the present day more universally grown: than any other vegetable. A good crop is impossible unless the soil is very rich and kept clean. Use well-rotted. manure freely, and get the> crop in as early as possible in spring, even though the weather be cold and unpleasant. Sow in drills one foot apart and cover about one- third of an inch, treading or rolling after sowing so that the hot, dry atmosphere may not destroy the sprouting seed.

A light soil, moderately rich, should be selected for the early varieties, and old, decomposed manure or leaf-mold should be scattered along the bottom of the drill and covered lightly with fine earth, so that the seed may not come in direct contact with the fertilizer. For general crops a good dressing should be applied, and for the dwarf kinds the soil should be very rich. The earliest Peas are mostly round and smooth-seeded. They are very hardy, and should be sown as early as possible in spring; later sowings of the fine, sweet, wrinkled vari- eties should follow. Sow Peas in drills and cover not less than four inches. For the lowest sorts the drills should be two feet apart; those growing taller should be three or four feet apart, according to height. When grown for private use, Peas should be staked with brush except the very dwarf-growing varieties. One quart to one hundred feet of drill ; one and one-half bushels sows one acre in drills. ‘ No vegetable receives more of our care than Peas. We contract annually for hundreds of bushels of the leading sorts with growers of reliability and experience, who raise our supplies from the finest and most carefully selected seed stocks in the country, and we frequently inspect the growing crops. We cordially invite growers for market and all others to call and examine ours when in need of true, pure and fresh seed Peas. Special prices quoted to buyers in large quantities for market.

We make a specialty of Grass Seeds, and send out only such as will meet the approval of the most critical. Our Special Mixture of Grasses for Lawns is celebrated throughout New England for producing a perfect, rich, deep-green sward from early spring till late in fall. The varieties are specially selected, tested, and blended by us, and the lawns made from our formulas. are unsurpassed anywhere for beauty and color. Asa result of our care in invariably furnishing clean, pure, fresh Lawn Seed, our trade in this specialty is enormous. We annually furnish seed for the parks and gardens of Boston, and ship large quantities to Newport, Bar Harbor,.- and other leading summer resorts. PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS ON MAKING LAWNS. The popular notion that ‘‘ grass grows anywhere”? is incorr2ct; the soil must be made suitable if not naturally so. Before seeding, the ground must be well drained, heavily manured, and made fine and friable by spade or plough, and harrow or rake, as the extent of the lawn or convenience renders best. This part of the work is finished by the use of a heavy roller. We have proved that pure crushed bone, or’ animal fertilizer containing bone and potash, are the best fertilizers to use, supplying the elements required to give a robust and fine stocky owth, and the lawn a lasting deep-green color. An application of four hundred or five hundred pounds per acre will generally be sufficient. So many noxious weeds are introduced into the ground with barnyard manure that its use is not recommended. Seeding.—It is a well-established fact that the most lasting and finest lawns result from seeding and not from sodding. The seed may de sown either in spring or fall. The ground being, we will suppose, already well prepared and rolled previous to sowing, should be gone: over with a fine rake, the seed then evenly scattered over the surface at the rate of four bushels per acre; the whole should then be raked or bushed in, and again rolled. Good, Clean, Fresh Seed is a most important consideration in lawa making. “Grass,’’ says Professor Martyn, “vulgarly forms one single idea. Not a few are ignorant of the fact that when overlooking a field of grass, thirty or forty varieties may be in view.” The varieties which our experience has taught us are best adapted to successfully meet the peculiarities of our climate, compose our mixture. These hardy, compact-growing sorts, sown with due care, produce a fine, close, velvety turf, which, with little attention, will continue beautiful for many years. After Treatment.—When the young grass has attained the height of three inches, it should be cut with a sharp scythe. Nothing retards the after-growth more than Zoo early cutting or zoo close cropping of the first shoots in spring. Duringthe summer, a lawn should be cut every week or ten days with a lawn mower, except during dry weather; frequent mowings and rollings are necessary to keep a grass plot in good condition. In the fall or early spring, some good fertilizer should be applied as a top dressing. For lawns requiring improvement, it is only necessary to sow our seed at the rate of a bushel per acre. FARQUHARS’ EVERGREEN LAWN GRASS. Specially reliable mixture of dwarf, hardy, fine-leaved: grasses; only fresh seeds, the growth of which has been thoroughly ‘ested.

Olmsted, Olmsted & Eliot their formula used in seeding the beautiful lawns and terraces of Boston’s new parks. Franklin Park and in fact all of 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 very extended knowledge can suggest. In proof of the genuineness of the formula we use for our New Boston Parks Lawn-Seed we can produce the original formula as sent us direct by Messrs. Olmsted, Olmsted & Eliot. The seed is fresh, clean and free from weeds, producing a perfect, velvety green turf in a remarkably short time. The New Boston Parks Lawn Mixture is put up by us in packages of the following sizes: 62 /ds., sufficient for ove acre (43,560 square ft.,) $15.00 | 16Jds., sufficient for one-quarter acre (10,890 sq.ft.) $4.00° 31 /ds., sufficient for ove-halfacre (21,780 sq. ft.,) 7-50 | 1 26., sufficient for 700 sguare feet . . . . . . .30 Add eight cents per pound to these prices if wanted by mail.

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 also very hardy. This Mix- ture will produce a beautiful and lasting green turf wherever used. THE «TERRACE MIXTURE.” This is a Mixture of strong, deep rooted 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. THE « BASEBALL GROUND” MIXTURE. This preparation comprises rene, deep rooted Grasses, calculated to withstand the hard tear and wear of Baseball Grounds. EVIDENCES OF QUALITY.

FARQUHAR & €O2S SEED CATALOGUE. - TEES: The increased production 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. Whiie travelling in Japan recently, we found that the bulbs of the wild Lilies were usually twelve to eighteen inches below the sur- face, and we gathered the finest flowers . from specimens growing on mountains of decaying lava where they had abund- ant rainfallend ample drainage. We be- lieve that varieties like Auratum and Sfec- zosum 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. Lilium Auratum. a: The following Lilies sent by mail at the price of single bulbs. Each. Per Doz. Each. Per Doz.

They are much better adapted to our severe and changeable climate than the soft-wooded plants grown on the meadows of Holland, so generally sold here, and which so frequently cause disappointment. Roses should be planted with the diverging roots at least nine inches below the surface of the ground; the soil made firm about them and liberally watered.

Terra Cotta vases are indestructible and are suitable for any climate ; being slightly porous, they hold moisture for the wants of plants. Iron draws the heat of the sun, consequently keeping the vase hiot, and drying the earth; besides they require painting every year. Our vases are near!y all made of one piece, while others are in two, requiring an iron rod in the centre. We warrant every vase. All-vases are numbered, by which they can be ordered with or with- out pedestals, Securely packed and shipped from factory direct. 116 Rk. & J. FARQUHAR & CO’S SEED CATALOGUE. FLOWER POTS, Sizes and shapes as adopted and recommended by the Society of American Florists. These pots are all full inside measurement, height and width, which makes them at least one size larger than by the old way of measuring. They are of perfect shape, with a very much needed improve- ment in the drainage, by being made with a convex bottom; or we should say, with the rim or body of the Pot projecting below the bottom, so that when it is set on any smooth surface, there is some space between the bottom of the pot and what it stands upon. The drainage is perfect. Breakage is not one-half as great as in other pots, the deep rim protecting them from any ordinary hard usage. NEPONSET PAPER FLOWER POT. Unbreakable, Very Handsome, Cheap. We are Sole Agents for New England, for these New Flower Pots. - Manufactured from specially prepared fabric which gives them all the necessary rigidity. They are adso- lutely unbreakable. They are made so as to give ample drainage; are very /ight and nest closely for shipment. Growers who have been in the habit of shipping in - clay pots will appreciate the immense saving insured by using “NEPONSET,” and those who have hitherto wrapped plants in paper will find that the loss of time and labor in so doing will more than pay for ““NEPONSET” Pots, to say nothing of the clean, neat and handsome | appearance which their use insures. The smaller sizes are specially adapted for growing slips, cuttings and young plants. Color, a handsome terra cotta; in the,standard sizes of the Association of American Florists. Reduced Prices.

A book which every one with a garden should own. This admirable publication is a new, revised and greatly enlarged edition of Johnson’s Gardener’s Dictionary, first published in 1846; containing a full and reliable list of every plant in cultivation, names printed in bold type, rendering references easy. An important feature of the work is the placing of synoynms alongside the correct name, instead of in a separate list. The habitat of each variety is given along with the date of its introduction. The cultural directions are brief and to the point. Insect foes, diseases and their remedies are fully described ; and figures of some of the former have been given. The Dictionary is a large, handsomely bound volume. Price, post-paid, 4.00.
