Boston, January ist, 1917.

New and Rare Plants from the Wilds of China.

Collected for the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University by the indefatigable plant
collector, Mr. E. H. Wilson, in remote and hitherto unexplored regions.

Gold Medal Awarded by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.

PLANTS READY FOR DELIVERY IN APRIL.

A number of these plants were offered by
us last year for the first time. We now offer
for: the first time another group of these
plant treasures. They are attracting uni-
versal interest, many orders coming from
Europe, Japan and other parts of the globe.
They are unquestionably the finest plant
novelties extant.

AMPELOPSIS Henryana. (Vitis Henry-
ana.) In habit, this new climber resembles
our native woodbine. The ground color of
the leaves is dark velvety green, with the
mid-rib and principal veins silvery white.
The foliage has a very striking appearance in
Autumn when the ground color changes to
vivid red, the mid-rib and vein remaining
white. In Massachusetts, this vine requires
protection during Winter, but would probably
prove quite hardy south of New York, or
even farther north where the influence of the
ocean moderates the temperature. Award of
Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society of
London. Each 30 cts.; doz., $3.00.

AMPELOPSIS Thomsonii. (Vitis Thom-
sonii.) This charming new climber is one of
the most beautiful of the Woodbine family.
It requires protection during Winter. The
leaves are greenish purple above, and bright
claret color beneath; changing in the Autumn
to rich red. Award of Merit by the Royal
Horticultural Society of London. Each, 30
cts.; doz., $3.00.

AMPELOPSIS aconitifolius dissecta. <A
perfectly hardy vine, growing 8 to 10 ft. tall,
with elegantly dissected foliage and bright
blue fruit; splendid for trellises. Each, 75
cts.; doz., $7.50.

BERBERIS brevipaniculata. <A bush 4 to6
ft. tall with small, wedge shaped leaves clus-
tered together and assuming fine tints in
Autumn. The small yellow flowers are freely
produced on erect panicles 3 to 5 in. long.
These are followed by masses of salmon-red
fruits in early Autumn. The foliage is re-
tained very late. Its several fine qualities
make this new Barberry one of the handsom-
est and most distinct of its class. Each, 50
cts.; doz., $5.00.

BERBERIS Maximowiczii. Superior to the
well known B. Thunbergii which it resembles
in habit and fruits, but has larger leaves.
Each, $1.00; doz., $10.00.

BUDDLEIA asiatiea. (‘White flowered Win-
ter Lilac.”’) An elegant pot plant suitable
for general decorative purposes and cut
flowers. Cultural requirements same as
those of Chrysanthemum. Blossoms De-
cember to March; every shoot terminating
in a slender tail of pure white, deliciously
fragrant flowers. A notable acquisition for
the greenhouse. Not hardy. Each, 25 cts.;
doz., $2.50.

BUDDLEIA officinalis. (‘Winter Lilac.’’)
An excellent companion to B. asiatica with
rose-pink fragrant flowers, each with orange
eye and produced in terminal, branched
tails. Flowering season same as that of B.
asiatica. Not hardy. Award of Merit, R.
H. S., London. Each, 25 cts,; doz., $2.50.

Buddleia variabilis magnifica.

Cotoneaster horizontalis.

BUDDLEIA vyariabilis Veitchiana. (‘‘Sum-

mer Lilac.) Late Summer and early Fall
blooming shrub suitable for beds or masses
in the shrubbery. The lilac-colored flowers
are borne in cylindrical tails 20 to 30 in. long
at the ends of the shoots. Awarded F. C. C.
by the R. H. S., London. Each, 25 cts.;
doz., $2.50.

BUDDLEIA variabilis magnifica. The indi-

vidual flowers are larger than those of Veitch-
jana, intense violet-purple in color with
reflexed margins and orange eye. One of
the finest acquisitions of recent years. <A
fairly rich soil, sunny position and abund-
ance of water are the essentials for the suc-
cessful culture of ‘‘Summer Lilac.” Each,
25 cts.; doz., $2.50.

BUDDLEIA variabilis superba. Perhaps the

finest of all the Summer Lilacs. It has erect
arching shoots 5 to 6 ft. tall, and immense
tails of rich lilac-colored flowers. Each, 50
ets.; doz., $5.00.

BUDDLEIA variabilis Wilsonii. The latest

of all the Summer Lilacs to flower. It blooms
in September and bears immense tails, some-
times attaining 30 inches in length, of bright
rosy-lilac flowers with orange eye. Each, 50
cts.; doz., $5.00.

CLEMATIS montana rubens. This beauti-

ful hardy, new Clematis begins to bloom
early in June when a profusion of soft rosy-
red blooms resembling those of the Japanese
Anemone are produced. As the flowers are
borne on the young wood, they appear more
or less freely until frost. A First Class Cer-
tificate was awarded to this plant by the
Royal Horticultural Society of London.
Each, 75 cts.; doz., $7.50.

CLEMATIS tangutiea. A fine Chinese va-

riety of free and rapid growth; bright
green dense foliage. A good climber and
one of the best ground-covering and trellis
plants. Flowers bright yellow. June-July.
Each, 30 cts.; doz., $3.00.

COTONEASTER divariecata. A handsome
shrub, erect, spreading and much branched
in habit, with leaves turning crimson in the
Fall, and bearing in profusion scarlet fruits,
which are retained through the Winter.
Worthy of a place in every garden. Each,
$1.00; doz., $10.00. Larger Plants. Each,
$2.00; doz., $20.00.

COTONEASTER horizontalis. Though by
no means a new plant, this rare and per-
fectly hardy Cotoneaster deserves to be most
widely planted. It is decumbent or semi-
prostrate in habit, grows 3 to 4 ft. high,
forming 2 dense bush many yards through.
The fruits are bright scarlet changing to
crimson and the small leaves, which are
dark green and almost round, are retained
late into the Fall, and even up to Christmas.
It is suitable for planting in rocky positions,
and anywhere and everywhere that dwarf-
erowing shrubs are required. Each, 50
ets.; doz., $5.00.

COTONEASTER horizontalis, var. perpu-
silla. A prostrate shrub, invaluable for
rockeries and for clothing banks; has lus-
trous green leaves, turning crimson in the
Fall and bright searlet fruits, which remain
on the plants until the Spring. One of the
best of the new introductions from China
and unsurpassed in its class. Each, $2.00;
doz., $20.00.

NEW CHINESE SPRUCES.

The researches of the well-known plant collector, Mr. E. H. Wilson, have proved that
Western China is the headquarters of the Spruce tribe and that about half the known
species grow in that region. Most of these species were successfully introduced by Wilson
and their behavior in cultivation with us is so far entirely satisfactory. In their native
habitat, Mr. Wilson assures us that they are singularly handsome trees and they promise
to be of immense value to the gardens of Eastern North America. We take pleasure in
offering the garden public of this country the above six new Spruces.

ARTICHOKE. Artischoke, (Grr.) Alcachofa, (Sp.) |
vf VR AeW ANY

A most delicious vegetable, rapidly gaining in popularity. The heads are usually
boiled, and the bottom of each scale eaten with butter and salt. In France they, are
more frequently baked with a dressing of fresh butter, forming a most savory dish.

Culture. Sow seeds in April or May, and when large enough, transplant in
rows 4 feet apart and 2 feet in the rows. They yield the second year. and require pro-
tection during winter by earthing up and mulching. In the Northern States it 1s better
to treat this plant as an annual, sowing seeds under glass and keeping the seedlings
srowing vigorously until May, when they should be set out in rich soil, when they will
produce fine heads the first season.

Large Globe, or Paris. The best of all Artichokes. Pkt., 25 cts.; 02., $1.25

ASPARAGUS. Spargel, (Gzr.) Esparrago, (Sp.)

Culture. Sow the seeds thinly in drills one foot apart and one inch deep. The per-
manent bed should be trenched very deeply, and well manured with rich, thoroughly de- 4} %
cayed manure. Wide drills should then be made, 3 feet apart, and deep enough to admit @ &
of the top of the plants being covered 6 inches. Set the plants, one or two years old, 12 ————_
inches apart in the rows, carefully spreading out and separating the roots. For the sake 5a,
of convenience one drill should be made at a time, and the planting and covering

completed before another is commenced. In Ni ye SR

November the plants should have their
annual top dressing of manure after #P

the stalks have been cleared away. FF
The dressing should be forked inf
as soon as the ground can be
_ worked in spring, and the bed
neatly raked. One ounce of
seed sows 60 feet of drill;
5 pounds sow one acre.

CAULIFLOWER.

Blumen Kohl, (Grer.) Coliflor, (Sp).

Cauliflower 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, fine heads can be ob-
tained in May or June. For a later supply sow seeds in a prepared
bed in May, choosing a cool, moist place. When large enough, trans-
plant, making the rows about 2} feet apart and 18 inches between the
plants. Transplanting should be done in moist weather. One ounce
of seed produces about 3,000 plants.

in gentle heat in February, and transplant to 10 inches apart. For a summer
supply, sow thinly in shallow drills 18 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 4,000 plants.

A Bed of Farquhar’s English Milltrack Mushroom Spawn.

MUSHROOM. Seta. Agaricus 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 fresh stable manure, which should consist of half droppings and half short litter; this must be thoroughly turned and
mixed; many growers prefer 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 thoroughly and turning it three or four times, when, if preferred, 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, pounding it firm, and continue thus till the bed is 12 inches thick. Leave it thus for about a
week, or until the temperature has subsided to eighty-five degrees. Then make holes about 10 inches apart, and put in each a piece of spawn about the size of an
egg. Press the spawn firmly into the compost about 2 inches, leaving 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 2 inches of fresh loam, and over this place a few inches of straw. If the temperature is right, mush-
rooms will appear in six to eight weeks from time of spawning. The bed will ccntinue 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 exhausted, the following treat-
ment will sometimes give wonderful results: Soak the whole bed thoroughly with water at a temperature of one hundred and ten degrees, adding one pound of sheep
manure to every five gallons. One pound of Farquhar’s English Milltrack Mushroom spawn ts sufficient for six square feet of bed.

MUSHROOM SPAWN. Farquhar’s English Milltrack. This Spawn is from virgin mycelium, germinated and developed under
special scientific methods, is not the uncertain material of the past, but is of uniform quality, prepared by the most successful and

Culture. The Onion had 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 should 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. When three inches high, thin to two inches apart. Stir the ground freely without disturbing the young

plants and keep free from weeds. One ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 pounds an acre.

TURNIP. Steckriibe, (GER.) Nabo, (Sp.)

Culture. For early Turnips sow as soon as the ground is dry enough. Fall Turnips may be sown from the first week in July to the end of September. Ruta-
bagas should be sown in June or early in July, in drills 18 inches apart. Turnips should be thinned when large enough, 6 to 9 inches apart in the drills according to
size. Sowings should be made before rain, if possible. The soil should be rich and well worked. One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill; two pounds will sow an acre in
drills; three pounds will sow an acre broadcast.

FARQUHAR’S EVERGREEN LAWN GRASS.

Farquhar’s Evergreen Lawn Grass is a mixture of the finest American and European grasses adapted to
lawn-making. The formula for this mixture is the result of life-time practical experience in making and maintaining lawns. Neither pains
nor expense are spared in obtaining grasses of high vitality and purity. It is our constant aim to make Farquhar’s Evergreen Lawn Grass
the best, purest and most permanent Lawn Grass sold. For the formation of new lawns sow not less than 5 to 6 bushels per acre. One
quart will sow a plot 15 x 20 feet or 300 square feet. For renovating existing turf use one half of this quantity. Price per quart, 25
cents (by mail 30 cents); 4 quarts, 90 cents; peck, $1.75; bushel, of 20 lbs., $6.00.; 10 bushels, $55.00.

Farquhar’s ‘‘Heavy-Seed’’ Evergreen Lawn Grass Mixture.

Many lawn and golf-link experts now prefer to use grass seed mixtures composed chiefly of hulled seeds. To meet this demand
we now offer this mixture, the formula of which differs but slightly from that of “Farquhar’s Evergreen.”’ In our ‘‘Heavy-Seed Ever-
green Mixture’”’ most of the grasses have been divested of their chaff or hulls—the exceptions being several valuable kinds to which the
hulling process cannot be practically applied. For sowing new lawns use four to six bushels per acre and for renovating old lawns use
two to three bushels per acre. Price per bushel, $10.00; 10 to 25 bushels, $9.75 per bushel; 25 to 50 bushels, $9.50 per bushel;
50 bushels and upwards, $9.25 per bushel.

Gentlemen:—It gives me great pleasure to inform you of the good results I have had with your Lawn Grass Seeds

T have used them extensively, not only in Massachusetts, but in Washington, D. C., and in St. Louis, Mo., at both of which places
there is difficulty in getting good Lawns, and where the successful results from your seeds have been remarkable.

The Weld Garden in Brookline, which has been so frequently described and illustrated in the leading periodicals of the country, affords
the very best evidence of the high quality, purity and permanence of your Lawn Grasses.

Your Mixtures for various situations and for different parts of the country, I consider especially valuable.

Yours truly, Duncan Finlayson.

FARQUHAR’S GRASSES FOR PERMANENT HAY CROPS AND PASTURES.

PRICES SUBJECT TO MARKET FLUCTUATION.

These contain 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 until fall. It is a well-established
fact that soil 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 good results obtained from our Special Grass Seed mixtures are demonstrated by the constant-
ly increasing demand for them. Fall seeding is preferable, but spring sowing will be successful if done early, while the land is cool and
moist. In addition to the Grasses, we advise sowing 10 lbs. of Mixed Clover Seed per acre. Clover seed should be sown separately as
it is heavier than Grass seeds and settles at. the bottom when mixed with them, and in consequence is likely to be sown unevenly. Clovers
in their young state are tender in our climate, and should therefore be sown in spring.

Pastures sown with these Permanent Mixtures should last indefinitely if given a frequent topdressing of manure or
fertilizer, maintaining their cropping qualities throughout the entire season.

ALFALFA or LUCERNE. Medicago sativa. _The chief merit of Alfalfa is the
fact that it can be cut three or four times in a season. The soil should be
deep, rich and well prepared. It does not.succeed on compact clay, nor on
land with impervious subsoil. The roots shoot downwards, reaching ten to
fifteen feet below the surface, and will therefore resist the driest weather.
Lb., 35 cts.; bush., (60 lbs.), $18.00; 100 lbs., $30.00.

ALFALFA, GRIMM’S. This desirable strain of Alfalfa is now being extensively
grown in the west where it originated. After extensive trials at various experi-
ment stations it has been found to be hardier and more productive than any
other known variety. Lb., 75 cts.; bush., (60 lbs.), $42.00; 100 Ibs., $70.00.

ALSIKE or SWEDISH. Trifolium hybridum. This Clover will thrive where
the soil is quite wet, and will even stand flooding without being killed. Pro-
ductive and sweet and extremely valuable for both pasturage or soiling. Lhb.,
40 cts.; bush., (60 Ibs.), $21.00; 100 lbs., $35.00. :

MAMMOTH or LARGE RED NORTHERN. Trifolium pratense. On rich,
loamy soils this variety grows nearly twice as large as the Medium Red Clover
and is earlier in starting growth. Lb., 40 cts.; bush., (60 lbs.), $21.00; 100 lbs.,
$35.00.

RED MEDIUM. Trifolium pratense. The best Clover for all practical pur-
poses. Succeeds best on rich, warm loams, containing humus. Lime and potash
are essential for its best development. <A biennial, but by close pasturage may
be made to last several years. Lb., 40 cts.; bush., (60 lbs.), $21.00; 100 lbs.,
$35.00.

SCARLET or CRIMSON CLOVER. Trifoliwm incarnatum. This annual
Clover thrives best on warm, loose, sandy soil. Its chief value is as a winter
or early spring pasture crop and as a green manure. A rapid growing, nitro-
gen-storing plant, and as such is invaluable for growth in orchards and wherever
it can occupy the land from July to December. Sow twenty pounds per
acre. It may be
sown at any time

WHITE CLOVER. Mammoth Red Clover.

Trifolium repens.

This clover should always be sown on permanent or temporary pas-
tures. Will grow on any soil, but especially adapted to low meadows,
where the surface soil is mellow and rich. Sweet and nutritious. Lb.,
80 cts.; bush., (60 Ibs.), $45.00; 100 Ibs., $75.00.

SWEET CLOVER (White Blossom). Melilotus alba. A vigorous
biennial grown for hay, green\forage or pasturage; valuable for soiling.
Sow twenty pounds per acre. Lb., 40 cts.; 100 lbs., $35.00.

MILLETS.

Nothing on the market is as well adapted to cover up shortages in hay crops as
are the Millets, yielding quick pasturage on almost any soil. They are rank
feeders, however, and do best on a fertile, mellow soil, which has had a liberal
application of barnyard manure. Sow in June or July, broadeast, 1 to 1} bushels
of seed per acre, or drill one-half bushel. Cut (if for hay) as soon as the heads
are formed.

MILLET, HUNGARIAN. Panicum Hungariensis. An annual forage plant,
which germinates readily and withstands drought. If cut early, makes an
excellent hay, often yielding two or three tons per acre. Sow from June to
August, using about 1} bushels to the acre. Bushel, (48 Ibs.), $4.00.

MILLET, COMMON. Panicum Miliaceum. Excellent for forage. Requires
a dry, light rich soil. Height, 2} to4 ft. Bushel, (50 Ibs.), $3.00.

MILLET, GERMAN or GOLDEN. Panicum Germanicum. An improved
variety, growing from three to five feet high. Under some circumstances it
will yield more per acre than the preceding. Bushel, (50 Ibs.), $3.50.

MILLET, JAPANESE. Panicum Crus Gali. This variety is particularly
adapted to the Northern States, making a quick growth and forming one of
the best crops for fodder or ensilage. It frequently attains a height of six
to eight feet, with numerous side shoots and yielding from ten to fifteen tons
of green fodder per acre. If required for dried fodder, it should be cut as
soon as the heads have formed; it is relished by stock, and cows fed on it
invariably increase in milk. Horses often prefer it to Timothy hay. If
sown broadeast it requires from 15 to 20 pounds per acre, or in drills 10 to
15 pounds to the acre. Bush., (35 Ibs.). Lb., 10 ets.; 10 lbs., 90 ets.; 100 lbs.,

$8.00.

Bean, Early Green Soja. The best variety for planting in the Northern States,
ripening early and producing enormous crops, yielding sometimes as high as
fifteen tons of green fodder per acre. It is also a valuable plant for ensilage,
and is frequently used in combination with the Japanese Millet in the ratio of
two parts Millet to one part Beans. The Soja Bean is also an excellent crop
for green manuring, adding a large quantity of humus to the soil. Sow 3 pecks
to the acre. Peck, $1.75; bush. (60 lbs.), $6.00; 10 bush., $55.00.

Broom Corn, Evergreen. ‘This variety produces long, straight brush, very fine
and always remains green. The best sort for brooms. Height, 7 ft. Sow 10

Sudan Grass. A new annual forage-plant of the Sorghum family valuable
for hay or thesilo. It is of strong growth and frequently attains a height of
4 to 5 feet, thriving best in hot weather. Two cuttings can be obtained
in a season under favorable conditions. The seeds should be sown early in
May when the soil has become warm, using from 16 to 24 lbs. per acre.
Lb., 30 cts.; 100 lbs., $28.00.

OATS.

Too little attention is given to the benefits to be derived from a change of seed, which
should be made in this country every two or three years, as any one acquainted with
our markets can see the degeneracy which takes place from the want of this attention.
A judicious selection and change can easily be obtained at moderate prices.

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.
They stool 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. Bushel (32 Ibs.), $2.00; 10 bush., $18.50.

Oats, Black Tartarian. A very prolific and early variety, yielding enormous Millet
crops of fine, heavy grain. The straw is long and strong and is considered paar eene
one of the most nutritious for green fodder. Bush. (32 lbs.), $3.00;

10 bush., $28.00.

Peas, Field for Fodder and Green Manuring. The Blue and
the White Canada Peas are two of the best varieties for general
cultivation; they afford 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 with mixed Peas and
Oats, thus furnishing a large amount of forage in August, when
grass pastures are usually short. Sow 3 bushels to the acre; if
with Oats, 2 bushels.

Canada White. Valuable for Northern climates. Peck,
$1.50; bush. (60 Ibs.), $5.00; 10 bush., $45.00.

Canada Blue. Valuable for Northern climates. Peck, $1.50;
bush. (60 Ibs.), $5.00; 10 bush., $45.00.

Cow Peas, Whip-Poor-Will. (For fodder or soiling.) A valu-
able and nutritious green forage or hay crop. Enriches poor
land; improves good land. One of the best and cheapest
ways of improving soil is the plowing under of leguminous
crops. Cow Peas have been found superior for this purpose,

especially on medium or light soils. Like Clover, they absorb
nitrogen from the atmosphere, the roots reach deep into the
soil and bring up the necessary potash, thus making a com-
plete 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 3 to 4 months.
Sow as early as May 10 oras late as July; one (1) bushel to
the acre in drills, 2} bushels to the acre broadcast. Peck,
$1.25; bush., (60 Ibs.), $4.50; 10 bush., $42.00.

Japanese Buckwheat.

Rape, Dwarf Essex. A forage plant of great merit, easily grown
in any part of the United States, and of great value for sheep and
lambs. One acre of Rape is sufficient to pasture 10 to 15 lambs for
two to two and one-half months. It is often sown broadcast,
about 5 lbs. to the acre, but will yield much better if drilled about
3 lbs. to the acre in rows 22 inches apart, and cultivated until the
plants are well developed. It may be sown in May, but pref-
erably in June or July. Lb., 16 cts.; 100 lbs., $15.00.

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.
Sow 13 to 2 bushels per acre. Bushel (56 Ibs.), $3.00; 10 bush.,
$28.00.

Rye, Fall or Winter. Sow in August and September. Prepare
the ground as for Wheat and sow at the rate of 1} 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.
Bushel (56 lbs.), $3.00; 10 bush., $28.00.

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. Sow 2 bushels per acre.

Sand Veteh or Hairy Vetch. (Vicia villosa.) An _ excellent
hardy plant of the pea family, yielding large crops for feeding
green, or soiling. It should be sown at the rate of from 3 to 4
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 3 to 4 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.
Peck, $5.00; bush., (60 Ibs.), $18.00.

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.

Hardy perennials are easily raised from seeds; they may be sown either in
spring or during the early summer. The simplest method is to sow them in a
frame, protecting the seedlings as they appear above ground from the sun. The
soil should be kept evenly moist but not saturated. Transplant the seedlings
once or twice if necessary to prevent crowding.

_ FARQUHAR’S RARE LILY FROM CHINA.

Hardy, Beautiful, Fragrant.—The Finest Novelty Extant.

Field of Lilium regale (Myriophyllum) at our Roslindale nursery.

This grand new species is acknowledged to be the finest Lily in cultivation. ()

It has received the following awards:

Gold Medal, Massachusetts Horticultural Society.
Gold Medal, National Flower Show, New York.
Gold Medal, Royal International Exhibition, London, 1913.

Lilium regale (Myriophyllum). The Regal Lily. Mr. E. H. Wilson,
the famous plant collector, collected for us in North-Western China, the bulbs
now offered. He considers this the finest of all Lilies. It is absolutely hardy,
and is excellent for forcing. It has been predicted that this will become the

Easter Lily of the future, and being so hardy, may be grown at home. The
flowers are white, slightly suffused with pink, with a beautiful shade of canary-
yellow at the centre, extending part way up the trumpet. It is delightfully
perfumed, reminding one of the Jasmine, and lacking the heavy oppressive odor
of most Lilies. Blooms out of doors early in July.

90 ets. each; $10.00 per doz.; $75.00 per 100.

Henryi. (The Yellow Speciosum.) A beautiful, hardy Lily from Northern China.
The plants are of vigorous growth, frequently attaining a height of 6 feet, each stem carry-
ing from twenty to twenty-five flowers of a rich, apricot yellow; spotted with brown.

50 ets. each; $5.00 per doz. Extra large bulbs, 75 ets. each; $7.50 per doz. Lilium Henryi.

HARDY LILIES.

Effective results may be obtained by planting groups of hardy lilies in the herbaceous border or in the front of shrubs, giving them a slight protection which is
of great importance to many of them.

_. It is our opinion that we should plant the bulbs much deeper than we have done heretofore. While travelling 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 Aurantum 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 the Winter.

; Our Autumn Catalogue contains a complete list of hardy lilies, most of which can be supplied in Spring until May first, if desired. We recommend Fall plant-
ing for all the early flowering sorts.

If Lilies are wanted by mail, add 5 cents each.

HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS.

HE OLD-FASHIONED HARDY FLOWERS. The favorites of old-time gardens are again popular, 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 green-house assortment, and equally valuable for gar-
den embellishment and cutting purposes. The Hardy Plants have the advantage of greater permanency, requiring only cultivation,
porelne: a slight mulch during winter, and an occasional checking of the more robust growers to keep the plantation in good condition
or years.

Where early flowers are desired we advocate the introduction of groups of Narcissi, Scillas, which bloom in April and May and
owes planted in October, as well as Montbretias, the hardier species of Gladioli and Lilies for summer blooming, and which may be
planted in spring. _ set :

We limit our list to varieties which have been found generally hardy and most desirable for the severe climate of New England.

Single plants of hardy perennials will be furnished at the following rates: Plants at $1.00, $1.25 and $1.50 per dozen, 20 cents
pack pigute a $1.75 and $2.00 per dozen, 25 cents each; plants at $2.50 per dozen, 30 cents each; plants at $3.00 per dozen,

FARQUHAR’S GOLD-MEDAL PAZONIES.

The Gold Medal of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society
was awarded to R. & J. Farquhar & Co. for a Display of Peonies,
June, 1913.

Ponies require a good rich, deep soil and an abundant supply of
water during the growing season. When enriching the ground the use of too
much fresh manure near the roots should be avoided. An important point
to observe is not to plant too deep. The roots should be planted so that the
eyes will be 2 to 3 inches below the surface. Too deep planting is a frequent
cause for shy flowering.

The figure following the name indicates the relative time of flowering.

BRADLEY’S COMPLETE MANURES FOR ALL CROPS.
Specially Adapted to Intensive Farming and Market Gardening.

These manures have been abundantly proved by results in
the field. They are manufactured from the very best plant-food
materials obtainable. In mechanical condition they are unequalled.
They drill perfectly in any machine. They are divided into classes,
based upon exhaustive field tests, and not upon theoretical experi-
ments of the laboratory, the fault of ‘special crop fertilizers” in
which common sense and practical experience are sacrificed for the
sake of theoretical hobbies.

Bradley’s Complete Manures are, in the fullest sense, ‘“com-
plete” fertilizers, and the several grades furnish complete plant
food in the best forms for all crops grown.

PURE CANADA UNLEACHED HARDWOOD ASHES.

Ashes lack ammonia and phosphoric acid, but contain potash
and lime, which are essential, not only as plant food, but also as
sweeteners of the soil and solvents of other plant food ingredi-
ents. So far as they supply potash and lime, they are “nature’s
plant food.” These things have been extracted from the soil by
the trees, and now we return them in the shape of ashes. Pure
wood ashes is one of the best fertilizers for top-dressing lawns,
grass lands, and seeding down, imparting a rich, dark shade of
green, destroying insects and weeds, particularly moss; also for
fruit of all kinds, especially strawberries, peaches and apples.

tons, at $24.00 per ton in bulk or $26.00 per ton in 100-lb. bags

LAND LIME.

This lime is specially prepared for use on the soil and is a com-
bination of calcium hydrate and calcium carbonate, finely pulver-
ized. Lime is essential as a plant food and as a corrective for
improper condition of the soil. It also acts as a neutralizer for acid
soils. Quantity Required: Heavy soils, 2000 to 6000 lbs. per acre.
Light sandy soils, 1000 to 3000 Ibs. per acre, according to their
apparent need. Price, per 100-lb. bag, $1.25; 500 Ibs., $5.00; ton
$15.00. In lots of 3 tons or over, $14.00 per ton; carload lots,
