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. Boston, Mass., July 19, 1899. The “ Evans’ Boston Giant Mignonette” is vastly supe- rior to any other sort the florists use. The erect flower spikes are of enormous size, dense and fragrant. It sells at sight. I have sold from fifteen to thirty dozen daily. WM... E. DOYEE. One=-eighth ounce, $1.00. Pkt., 25. Evans Boston Giant Mignonette, No. 5082. 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.

CHATER’S DOUBLE HOLLYHOCK.
HOLLYHOCK. This ever popular hardy favorite of
our gardens has few rivals in majestic grandeur. The
flowers have been improved in size, the fullness of the
double sorts increased, and new shades obtained by
hybridization and selection. The seeds we offer are
saved from plants representing the highest advance-
ment in each class. Hollyhocks succeed best in rich
well drained soil. They should be lightly protected
during winter with Pine boughs, coarse straw or other
mulch not liable to rot. Seeds sown in July produce
fine plants for blooming the following summer, Hardy
biennials ; six to eight feet.

HARDY HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES.
These are specially grown for us by one of the leading rosarians of England where roses develope firm wood
and fibrous roots. 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.
Our collection comprises the most select sorts of all colors and of the finest forms.

on application.
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.

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.

JOHNSON’S GARDENER’S DICTIONARY.
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.
Any book not listed here will be furnished at publisher’s price.
