Farquhar's Reliable Vegetable Seeds. ARTICHOKE. LARGE GREEN GLOBE. A. most delicious vegetable, which will become more popular when better known. The large Green Globe variety is of better quality and gives more edible part than the common sort. The edible part is the undeveloped flower head, which may be eaten raw or used as a salad. Plants set out in April or May 3 ft. x3 ft. will produce heads in July and continue to do so until the end of Octo- ber. It will only produce a partial crop the first season, but being a perennial, will remain in bear- ing for years in the same bed. As soon as the head is taken off, the stalk should be cut down close to the main stock or root. Succeeds best in a very rich, light, moist soil. Should have protection in winter in our northern climate. PLANTS, .20 each; $2.00 per dozen. SEEDS, .10 pkt.; .35 0z.; $3.50 per Ib. LarGE GLOBE OR Paris.

ASPARAGUS. (Sfazged.) 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 productive for many years, CuLTuRE. The permanent bed should be trenched or ploughed very deeply, and well ma- nured 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 two years old may be purchased in spring, or may be produced from seed sown in drills one inch deep and a foot apart, Set the plants eighteen inches apart in the rows, carefully spreading out and separating the roots. Fof the sake of convenience, one dril! should be made at a time, and the planting and covering completed before another is commenced. In November the plants should have their annua! top dressing of manure after the stalks have been cleared away. The dressing should be forked inas soon as the ground can be worked in spring, and the bed neatly raked. One ounce of seed sows sixty Asparagus : feet of drill, Pkt: Oz, 4 Ib. CoNOVER’s COLOSSAL.

In this new strain we have a wonderfully robust grower, a week to ten days earlier than Worcester Horticultural Pole. In comparison the pods are equally as large, string- less, bright golden color when very young. As the pods approach full size they are mottled and streaked with an unusually bright carmine color on the bright golden, which gives the pods (when ready for market) a strikingly beautiful and attractive appearance. This, together with its productiveness, will make it the most desirable strain of this well-known and popular bean. Pint, -30; quart, .50; peck, $2.75. WORCESTER PoLe.

The Cauliflower is the most delicious of all Brassicas, and succeeds well in any soil where Cabbages will grow It delights in a rich soil and abundance of 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. One ounce of seed produces about three thousand plants. FARQUHAR’S EARLIEST DWARF ERFURT CAULIFLOWER.

The average number of cucumbers per bushel was seventy-five for Fancy and No. 1, and the most noticeable feature was the exceed- ingly small number of irregular shaped fruit and stubs. We are growing them again this season.” 16 R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO”S SEED CATALOGUE. CUCUMBER. (Gurke.) For very early use, seed may be started in heat and the plants set out in May.

The Lettuce is the best vege- table of the salad kind grown in the open air. It thrives best ina light, very rich, moist soil, with a | dry substratum, but does well ina common garden soil enriched with | rotted manure. For first crop sow in gentle heat in February, | and transplant to ten inches apart. _ Fora 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 specially 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, May Kinc. The great value of this Lettuce is its surprisingly rapid development, its size, weight, tenderness, hardiness, and the fact that it not only forces well in moderate heat. but develops its large crop of mag- nificent heads in the open ground about 10 days sooner than any other sort. The head is of globular shape, hard and well closed; the leaves are light green, with delicate ribs and lightly waved; the interior is of a clear yellow, very tender and of fine flavor.

Containing only the most suitable Grasses, the proportionate quantity of each being regulated by soil, situation, and purpose for which desired. The object to be attained is a constant, successive growth of rich pasturage from spring till fall. It 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 I0 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. 10 lbs. Mixed Clover Seed sufficient for one acre, $2.25.

Like Clover they absorb nitrogen from the atmosphere, the roots reach deep into the soil and bring up the necessary potash, thus making a complete and natural fertilizer, For fertilizing purposes, Cow Peas are superior to Clover from the fact that the foliage is greater, besides making full growth in from three to four months.

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. Sow two bushels to the acres if with Oats, one bushel of each. White, per peck, .50; per bushel, $1.75. Green, per peck, .60; per bushel, $2.00. ; RarE, Dwarr Essex. A forage plant of great merit, easily grown in any part of the United States. Is of great value for sheep and lambs. Oneacre of Rape is sufficient to pasture ten to fifteen lambs on for two to two and one- half months, It is often sown broadcast, about five lbs. to the acre, but will yield much better if drilled about two Ibs. 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. Per lb., .10; 100 Ibs., $8.00. RYE, SPRING. Sow as a ‘‘catch’’ crop, where winter grain has failed. The straw is shorter and stiffer than the winter variety, and is always easily secured, while the grain is of equal value. Per bushel, $1.50. RYE, FALL OR WINTER. Sow in August and September. Prepare the ground as for Wheat and sow 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. Per bushel, $1.25. Sanp VETCH, OR Harry VETCH. Vicia villosa. An annual, a native of western Asia, 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 is in 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. Per lb., .15; 100 lbs., $11.50. SPRING VETCHES OR TaRES, Vicia sativa. A valuable plant grown extensively for stock and sometimes mixed with Oats for soiling. Culture the same as field Peas, Per bushel, $3.50. SUNFLOWER, MamMoTH RussIAN. This is highly prized by poultry raisers and farmers as a cneap 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 food known. Per lb., .10; per 100 lbs., $6.00. Witp Rice. Zizania aquatica. The only one of our native plants furnishing food for wild fowl, ducks, geese, etc., which has been made an article of commerce.

Fisher Son & Sibray, Ltd.), established over 150 years ago and having at the present time about 800 acres under cultivation. The Nurseries being located in the North of England, the stock is very hardy and well suited to our rigorous New England climate. The systematic frequent transplanting . of the stock is an important feature, developing an abundance of root fibre, which is absolutely necessary to successfully establish large specimens. A Special Catalogue will be mailed upon application. Parties contemplating a visit to England may go to the Nurseries and select their stock to be delivered by us in this country. RHODODENDRONS.

FARQUHAR & CO.’S SEED CATALOGUE. 125 TA eEAROWUHAR IROSE A magnificent Pink Climbing Rose, awarded the silver gilt medal of the Massachusetts Hor- ticultural Society. Certificated by the Horticultural Society of New York. In this new rose we have a worthy companion to the Crimson Rambler, bearing beau- tiful clusters of pink double flow- ers. A vigorous and rapid grower, of strong climbing habit. The Farquhar Rose has glossy, bright green foliage which does not drop, and retains its lustre until cut down by severe frost in November or December, a feature which makes it most valuable for covering trellises, pillars, summer houses, fences and rocks. It is perfectly hardy. The Farquhar Rose bears mag- nificent clusters of bright pink double flowers on long stems, which are most serviceable for vases and table decorations, while the individual flowers are useful for bouquets and designs. Mr. Jackson Dawson, of the Arnold Arboretum, who raised the Farquhar Rose, describes it as follows: ‘‘It can be best de- scribed as flowering perfectly double in clusters, the individual flowers being similar in size and color to the flowers of Carnation Melba. The plant is of rapid growth, stocky, trailing habit, with bright, glossy foliage. All who have seen it pronounce it something extra. In commenting upon it Mr. W. R. Smith, of the United States Botanic Garden, Washington, D.C., says that it is a rose for the millions. Prof. R. B. Watson, of the Bussey Insti- tution, and many private garden- ers have declared it a_ great success. We have an excellent stock of field grown plants this season, the strongest of which will give im- mediate flowering results, having flowered in our own nursery grounds the past two seasons. We recommend planting dormant stock in April throughout the New England States; butto those who are unable to plant during that month we would recommend our pot-grown stock offered on page 124, which can be trans- ferred to the open ground with safety at any time.

Re 0 eae FaRquyan® cory Delphinium Chinensis. This charming hardy Larkspur should be better known. The flowers run in shades of blue, many of remarkable brilliance, also pure white, and they are not excelled in— beauty by any hardy flower. Those who like the blue Bachelor’s Button for cutting will prize still more this very graceful and beautiful larkspur. A bed of tall lark- spur (see Del/phinium, Farquhar’s Hybrids, page 132), with YD. Chinensis interspersed or used for a border, is most effective. Per doz., $1.50; per 100, $10.00, The 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 interesting than the usual greenhouse assortment, and equally valu- able 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 intro- duction of groups of Narcissi, Scillas, which bloom in April and May and should be planted in October, as wel} as Montbrietias, the hardier species of Gladioli and Lilies for summer blooming, and which may be planted in spring. We limit our list to varieties which have been found generally hardy and most desirable for the severe climate of New England, FARQUHAR’S COLLECTION OF HARDY FLOWERS.

CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. — The tubers may be started in February or March, either singty 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. ‘he 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. The plants should be set ten or twelve inches apart. Although there is much to be gained by starting the tubers as early as just described, they may be planted un- started 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 when fully exposed to the sun the beds must be kept moist. A wind-swept situation should be avoided. Allen Winden Farm, Lenox, Mass. Dear Sirs: It gives me pleasure to tell you that the Tuberous Begonia Bulbs we bought of you have given us every satisfaction. IL can particularly recommend your strain for fine bold flowers of good form and color, while the vigor of the bulbs cannot be surpassed, Very truly yours, A.H. WINGETT, Supt. “ 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.

The increased production of many va- rieties of these in Japan has greatly re- duced 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 traveling in Japan, 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 believe that varieties like Auratum and Sfeciosum 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. Our Autumn Catalogue contains a com- plete list of hardy Lilies, most of which can be supplied in spring if desired. We recommend fall planting for all the early flowering sorts. WE DELIVER FREE IN THE U.S. ALL BULBS ORDERED AT SINGLE AND DOZEN RATES. 4 GORY RIGHT 1202 BYREWFARQUHARS Lilium Krameri. 146 R. & J.
