Boston, January 1st, 1902. ‘2 presenting our Catalogue for 1902, we take the opportunity to thank our customers for their patronage in years past. This new Catalogue enumerates only the best varieties in each class, and our stocks of all are of highest grade. Seeds Post-Paid by Mail. Wesend seeds free of postage to any part of the United States, at ounce or packet prices. All heavy seeds, such as peas, beans, corn, clover, roots, tubers, etc., we do not send free, as such are quoted at net prices at our store. If these are desired by mail, purchasers should remit an.additional sum for postage at the rate of eight cents per pound, or fifteen cents per quart. Postage on Seeds to Canada. Wesend Flower Seeds at packet prices, free of postage to any post- office in Canada. On seeds by weight or measure, and Vegetable Seeds in packets, the postage is stxteen cents per pound, which the purchaser should remit. Plants by Express. Plants are now carried by the leading express companies at a discount of twenty per cent. from the regular merchandise rates.

It is very important that you send your orders as early as possible on receipt of this catalogue. We aim to send off ail orders the same or next day after receipt, but during the busy season it is almost impossible, hence the importance of ordering early. Prices and Terms.

FAROQUHAR’S SUPERB LraRcE-FLOWERING TUbeTOUS-ROOLEd eons, (See Illustration on First Cover Page.) The Finest Produced in Europe at Minimum Prices. The great value of Tuberous-Rooted Begonias for Lawn Beds and Borders is now being appreciated. They bloom continuously from early summer until frost, producing a profusion of large and gorgeous flowers. Throughout Europe they are used very extensively, particularly in the beauti- ful parks of Paris. They are of easiest cultivation, rarely attacked by insects or blight, and succeed in any good soil which is kept moderately moist. The tubers we offer have been specially grown for us by two celebrated European cultivators. We inspected the flowers produced by these tubers when in Europe last summer, and we feel assured that they are not sur- passed by any strain in commerce. SINGLE-FLOWERING VARIETIES.

CULTURAL DIRECTIONS.—The tubers may be started in February or March, either singly in small pots or set two inches apart in flat boxes. The soil should be light, containing plenty of leaf mould and sand. In planting, care should be taken to set the crown of the tuber, which is usually somewhat depressed, upwards. The tubers should be covered half an inch with light soil and watered sparingly until they start, after which more water may be given. The temperature should be 60 to 70 degrees. The started plants, when intended for bedding purposes, may be transferred to the beds in the open ground early in June, by which time they should be in bloom. These beds should be composed of light loam at least eighteen inches deep and well enriched with stable dressing, which is the best known fertilizer for Tuberous Begonias. The plants should be set ten or twelve inches apart. Although there is much to be gained by starting the tubers early as just described, they may be planted unstarted in the open ground beds in the last week of May or later, with excellent results. They will thrive either in full sunshine or partial shade, but where fully exposed to the sun, the begs must be kept moist. A wind-swept situation should be avoided. With ordinary care they bloom continuoysly and abundantly until frost, after which the tubers may be dug up and stored in dry sand, in the same manner as Dahlias are usually kept, for use the following year. What a Noted Grower Says of Our Tuberous-Rooted Begonias : Messrs. R. & J. Farquhar & Co. Oak Hill, Peabody, Mass., Sept. 26, 190T. Gentlemen :—The Begonias you sent me last spring are the finest I have ever grown, remarkable for their free flowering and for the size of their blooms. Many of the Flowers have measured six and a quarter inches in diameter. Yours very truly, CHARLES SIMPKINS, Superintendent. R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO’S SEED CATALOGUE. . iii \ NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES IN FLOWER SEEDS. Our Mr. John Farquhar visited the leading seed-growing districts of Europe last summer and gave special attention to the examination of novelties in Seeds and Plants. Many of the novel- ties offered this season he considers of no special merit and unworthy of introduction. To save our patrons the annoyance of cultivating comparatively worthless plants, we have pur- posely omitted all so-called novelties not possessing positive merit. Those we catalogue are the best introductions of the year. Ostrich Feather Aster. ASTER, OSTRICH FEATHER.

Xxiik FANCY LEAVED CALADIUMS. _ These most.beautitul variegated-leaved plants are destined to early popularity. It has been generally supposed that they would thrive only in a warm, humid atmosphere completely shaded from the sun, and in consequence they have been grown in shaded greenhouses. They may be planted out, however, after the middle of June in the sunniest situations, provided they are sheltered from strong wind, if given a deep, light loam and plenty of water. We have seen magnificent beds of them within the tropics, exposed to the full blaze of the sun and growing in ordinary garden soil. They are quite as desirable for bedding purposes as for cultivation in pots in the conservatory. The tubers should be started in the greenhouse in February or March, and if intended for out-door beds, gradually hardened off before being transferred to the open ground. Dormant Tubers.

NOVELTIES WILL BE FOUND ON COLORED INSERT. ARTICHOKE. A rtischoke.) 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 glassin February and the seedlings transplanted in May They succeed best in a light, sandy loam, well-enriched. Pkt.) Ozaep: Large Green Globe.

ASPARAGUS. (S¢argei.) 2 This is one of our most delicious vegetables, and when proper care ie Z 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 shov'd 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 ir drills one inch deep and a 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.

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. Upon a 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 teninches 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 wonderfui @ results: Soak the whole bed thoroughly with water at a tem- ik i: perature of one hundred and ten degrees, adding one pound of sheep manure to every five gallons. Oxe pound of Farquhars’ English Mushroom Spawn is sufficient for six square feet of bed. —=s The following works on the Mushroom will be mailed post-paid on receipt of price.

Per bushel, $1.25. — Japanese. Excelsall other varieties in yield and earliness. On account ofits earliness it can be grown farther north than any other. The grains are nearly double the size of those of any other variety. Enormously productive. Per bushel, $1.50, — Silver Hull. About one week laterin maturing thanthe Japanese. Grain isofalight gray color, thin husk; good yielder. Bushel, $1.50. Oats, Welcome. This is now a well-known and extensively grown variety, and is one of the heaviest, handsomest and most productive white varieties grown. Theystool heavily with extra strong, straight straw, standing well. Succeeds well in a wide range of climate, and under a great variety of soils and methods of culture. Per bushel, $1.00. Oats, Clydesdale. (ijJorted).— A handsome English White Oat. Very early and an enormous cropper. Per bushel, $2.00. Peas for Field Culture Only. White Canada and Green Field. These two varieties are the best for general cultivation. One of the most profitable crops for fattening stock. They have been grown by dairymen with very satisfactory results, following Winter Rye, which was cut green in June for Dairy Cows, then stubble turned under and sown to mixed Peas and Oats, furnishing a large amount of forage in August, when Grass pastures usually short, and producing a supply of milk as abundant as in early summer months. As a fertilizer they come next to Clover, to be plowed under when they commence to blossom; they will grow on land that will not pro- duce Clover. Sow two bushels to the acre, if with oats, one bushelof each. Per bushel, $1.75. Rape, Dwarf Essex. A forage plant of great merit, easily grown in any part of the United States, on any land that will raise turnips or corn, and will furnish abundant supplies of succulent, rich, nutritious pasture at a season when it is most needed. Is of great value for sheep and lambs. It is also of great value for pasturing cattle. One acre of rape is sufficient to pasture ten to fifteen lambs on for two to two-and-one-half months. Itis often sown broadcast, about five lbs. to the acre, but will yield much better if drilled about two lbs. to the acre, in rows twenty-two inches apart, and cultivated until plants are too large. Seed may be sown in May, but we do not advise sowing until June or July. Can, however, be sown with grain in the spring, and it is said not to interfere with the grain crop. The Dwarf Essex Rape is unequalled as a pasture for sheep in the autumn, and as a fattening food is without a rival in point of cheapness and effectiveness. It will also keep a long time in early winterif cut and putin heapslike shocks of hay. Perlb.,.10; 100lbs., $3.00. Rye, Spring. Although this grain is often planted especia!ly for paper makers, who prefer it to any other, its principal value is asa “catch”? crop, to sow where winter grain has failed. ‘The straw is shorter and stiffer than the winter variety, and is always easily secured, while the grain, although smaller, is of equal value. Per bushel, $1.50. 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 canal as a crop to be used for late fal} and early spring pasture, and is one of the best to turn under for green manure. Per bushel, $1.25. Spring Vetc.es or Tares. Viciasativa. A valuable plant grown extensively for stock and sometimes mixed with oats for soiling. Culture the same as field peas. Per bushel, $3.00. ‘ Sugar Cane, Early Amber. The standard varfety for the North, for sugar, ensilage or fodder. Per lb., .10; per 100 lbs., $5.50. Sunflower, Mammoth Russian. This is highly prized by poultry raisers and farmers as a cheap food for fowls, stock and also for fuel. It is immensely productive, and can be raised cheaper than corn, as any waste piece of ground will suffice. It is the best egg producing foodknown. Perlb.,.10; per 100 lbs., $6.00. Wild, Rice. (Zizaniaacguatica.)

Our strains of Cyclamen have gained a national reputation and are freely acknowledged to be the finest in the country. The seeds which are grown for us by specialists in Europe are all of the giant-flowering type, and of the most improved varieties. At the WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION, Chicago, we were awarded both Grand Medal and Diploma. ‘¢ Garden and Forest,’’ in commenting on the Exhibition of Cyclamen Plants at the World’s Fair, at which specialists from all over the world had exhibits in competition, says: ~ “The exhibit of R. & J. Farquhar & Company, Boston, is one of the largest and makes the best impression as a whole. Their Mont Blanc Cyclamen is the finest white in the Exhibition, if not the best of any strain... . The contrast was great between the small-flowering type (of other exhibitors) and the large flowers in the exhibition of R. & J. Farquhar & Company.” Messrs. R. & J. Farquhar & Co., Beach Bluff, Mass., Feb. 20, Gentlemen : — Your Cyclamen are the finest I have ever grown. Every seed germinated ; the plants are handsome, with flowers ranging from pure white to dark crimson. he blooms are so large and borne on such stout stems, that I have used them most satisfactorily for cutting purposes. Every one who sees them pronounces them the best ever seen. Yours very truly, C.J. W., Gardener to Mrs.J. S. Messrs. R. & J. Farquhar & Co., Maiden, Mass., Dec. 2. Gentlemen :— Vouwill be pleased to learn that the Cyclamen seeds I had from you last year have turned out admirably. The plants are now in full bloom and are truly grand. The flowers are of enormous size, splendid substance, and their erect, stout stems hold them well above the leaves. I have never seen a finer strain. Yours very truly, D.F. Roy, Supt. Estate of Hon. E. S. Converse. 3090. GRANDIFLORUM, FARQUHAR’S COLUMBIAN PRIZE.

For many years choice Pansy Seeds have been a specialty with us. By repeated pers sonal visits we have made ourselves familiar with the strains of the leading specialists in the several countries of Europe, with whom we contract yearly for seeds. We are thus enabled to offer the finest in existence. Pansies thrive best in a cool, moist but well drained soil, enriched with well-rotted barn-yard manure or fine ground bone. Seeds sown in Spring ina partially shaded situation wil] produce fine plants for autumn flowering. The finest blooms are to be obtained however by sowing in July or August, giving the plants protection during winter, when they will bloom profusely in the spring and summer.

FARQUHAR & CO’S SEED CATALOGUE. 35 HARDY HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS. OLD-FASHIONED HARDY PLANTS FOR MIXED BORDERS. The ‘‘ Herbaceous Border”’ of the gardener, or the ‘‘ Old-fashioned Garden”’ of the amateur, are synonymous, the only difference being perhaps that the former generally contains a greater variety of these hardy plants. At the present time there is a growing interest in hardy perennial plants, due largely to their easy cultivation and to the very satisfactory results they give. They thrive in any good garden soil, which should be deeply dug and enriched with well rotted barn-yard dressing, or ground bone. A slight covering of manure containing a considerable proportion of straw may be put on in fall as a protection for winter; and this may be forked into the ground in spring. Each.

They cut within 13 inches of an obstruction (others 3% inches.) The cutter bars will stay on the ground and cut their full swath clean (other short-coupled mow- ers kick up behind in heavy grass.)

FARQUHAR & COWS SEED CATALOGUE. FLOWER POTS, SAUCERS, 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. lutely unbreakable. They are made so as to give ample drainage. 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. Weights and Prices.
