NEW AND RARE PLANTS.

Mostly collected for the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University by Mr. E. H. Wilson,
in remote regions of China.
Gold Medal awarded by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.

Buddleia hybrida, Eva Dudley.

BUDDLEIA hybrida, Eva Dudley. Mr. E. H. Wilson of the Ar-
nold Arboretum writes of this new plant as follows:—

“This charming new plant is of hybrid origin, the result of
crossing the well-known Buddleia Davidii magnifica and B. asiatica.
A free-growing and extremely floriferous plant, it combines the
good qualities of both its parents. Every shoot and lateral branch
terminates in a cylindrical tail from 6 to 20 inches in length, which
is composed of hundreds of fragrant flowers. The flowers are of
the most delicate lavender-pink with intense orange centre. Apart
from its good habit and free-growing and floriferous character,
this new plant is remarkable for the delightful fragrance of its
flowers. A single spray delightfully scents a whole room. It would
appear to me that there is a bright future for this plant, not only
for decorative pot purposes, but also as a cut flower.

“Messrs. Farquhar are to be congratulated on the production
of such a valuable novelty.”

Plants, $2.00 each; $20.00 per doz.

BUDDLEIA Farquharii. This new Winter-flowering Lilac was raised
in our nurseries and is the first authentic hybrid in the genus. The

cylindrical tail-like clusters. It is of easy culture, flowers during
December and January and is valuable for conservatory and house
decoration and as a cut-flower. Price, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.

Boston, January 1st, 1920.

Abies Delavayi.

NEW FIRS FROM CHINA.
Introduced by the Arnold Arboretum.

Abies Delavayi. This is one of the handsomest of the Silver Fir
family. It is also one of the hardiest known in China. Mr. E. H.
Wilson tells us it is known in China by the name Lien-sha, meaning
Cold Fir, in allusion to the fact that the tree grows in cold regions.

Its upright growth and rich deep green foliage make it rival in
appearance the Yew trees of Europe, and we predict that for lands-
cape purposes this Fir will be used to produce the Yew effects here.
$5.00 each.

Abies recurvata. This Fir is of pyramidal habit. The rich deep
green foliage resembles that of Abies Delavayi, but is strongly re-
curved, which gives the tree a distinct and pleasing appearance. Mr
Wilson writes: ‘‘In all respects this species is one of the most desirable
of the family; and it was well worth a long journey to introduce it
into cultivation.”” It has proved perfectly hardy and like A. Delavayi
will be a valuable addition to our trees for landscape planting. $5.00
each.

NEW CHINESE SPRUCES.
Introduced by the Arnoid Arboretum.

Picea asperata. A quadrangular-leaved Spruce from northwestern
China. Some of the trees are very glaucous in appearance, hence
the colloquial name Yun Sha (Cloudy Fir). Old trees are very
spire-like in outline. All the varieties of P. asperata are of dense
growth, and the purplish coloring of the young foliage makes them
strikingly beautiful in the early Summer.

Picea asperata var. notabilis. This variety differs from the pre-
ceding, chiefly in the cones, the scales of which are rhombic-ovate in
outline.

Picea asperata var. ponderosa.
able for its large cones.

Picea Balfouriana. One of the tallest of the Chinese Spruces.

Picea montigena. The short, stout bristly leaves are of shining
green and more or less glaucescent.

-FARQUHAR’S RELIABLE VEGETABLE SEEDS.

ARTICHOKE. § Alcachofa, (Sp.)

_ 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 is better
to treat this plant as an annual, sowing seeds under glass and keeping the seedlings
growing 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.; oz., $1.25

Jerusalem. (Helianthus tuberosus.) Cultivated for its edible tubers.
Tubers, qt., 4€ cts.; peck, $2.50

ASPARAGUS. 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-
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
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 60 feet of drill;
5 pounds sow one acre.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS.
Col de Bruselas, (Sp.)

Culture. Sow the seeds under glass during April and transplant to
a cold frame when large enough to handle. They may be transferred
to the garden in June and cultivated like Cabbage. When the sprouts
become crowded cut off some of the lower leaves so that they may
develop. They will be ready for use in Autumn after the early frosts.
One ounce of seed produces about 1500 plants.

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.

CELERY. Aptos, (Sp.)

Sow the seeds in March or April in a hot-bed or cold frame. As soon as the plants are 3
inches high, transplant into a prepared border, setting them 4 inches apart. When grown
6 inches, and fine stocky plants, set in richly manured, deep soil, in rows 3 feet apart, and about
9 inches from plant to plant. Water, if dry weather follows transplanting. During the next
two months all the attention required is to keep down weeds. Afterwards earth up a little,
and,continue doing so at intervals until only the tops of the leaves are visible late in Autumn.
Never hoe or earth up when the plants are wet. To keep celery in Winter they may be re-
planted into a cool cellar, allowing fully 3 inches of soil on the floor. Stand the plants in rows
not more than 9 inches apart and partition off with boards equal to the height of the plants.
They will be ready for use in January. 1 ounce of seed produces about 4,000 plants.

A Bed of Farquhar’s English Milltrack Mushroom Spawn.

MUSHROOM. (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
ifty 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
iry 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
2gg. 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
zerms, 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 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 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 siz 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

Farquhar’s Selected

Onion.

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.

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, 40
cents (by mail, 45 cents); 4 quarts, $1.50; peck, $2.25; bushel, of 20 lbs., $8.00; 10 bushels, $75.00.

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.

R. & J. Farquhar & Co., Boston, Mass. Weld Garden, Broolvline.
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 vaiuable.
Yours truly, Duncan Finlayson.

FARQUHAR’S BOSTON PARKS LAWN SEED.

This formula has been used for many years in the Boston Park Department and in the Metropolitan Parks of Massachusetts. It
is unquestionably one of the best mixtures for park work or where a free growing, hard-wearing turf is desired. Sow not less than 80 lbs.
per acre and in many cases 100 Ibs. will be an advantage. Priee, 45 cents per lb.; by mail, 50 cents. 10 lbs., $4.25; 100 lbs.,
$40.00. 25 lbs. and upwards at the 100-Ilb. rate. j

This is composed mainly of perennial native Grasses and two very important European Grasses which have proven of great value for
Fair-Green use. They are all of dwarf, spreading growth, forming a close velvety surface which improves from year to year if given
proper care. It contains no clover, which is objectionable on account of making the surface slippery. If white clover is desired, the
quantity sown should not exceed one-half pound per bushel of grass seed. Sow 100 to 150 Ibs. per acre. Per Ib., 45 cts.; per 100 Ibs.,
at 40 cts. per lb.; per 1,000 lbs., at 38 cts. per lb.

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 attainted is a constant, successive growth of rich pasturage from Spring until Fall. It is a well-estab-
lished 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 constantly
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 Ibs. 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.

CLOVERS.

Prices subject to market fluctuations.

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.
Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per acre. Lb., 75 ets.; 10 Ibs., $7.25; 100 lbs., $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. Lb.,
90 cts.; 10 lbs., $8.75; 100 Ibs., $85.00.

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.. 95 cts.; 10 lbs., $9.25; 100 lbs.,
$90.00.

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. Lhb., 95 cts.; 10 lbs., $9.25; 100 lbs., $90.00.

SCARLET or CRIMSON CLOVER. § (T7rifoliwm 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
from May to Octo-
ber. Lb., 40 cts.;

10 Ibs., $3.75; 100

Ibs., $35.00.

WHITE CLOVER. es ee ae ee
(Trifolium repens.) Mammoth Red Clover.
This clover should al-

ways be sown on permanent or temporary pastures. Will grow on any
soil, but especially adapted to low meadows, where the surface
soil is mellow and rich. Sweet and nutritious. Lb., $1.00; 10
Ibs., $9.50.

SWEET CLOVER (Bokhara or White Blossom.) (Melilotus alba.) A
vigorous biennial grown for hay, green forage or pasturage; valuable for
soiling. Sow twenty pounds per acre. Lb., 55 cts.; 100 lbs., $50.00.

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, broadcast, 1 to 13 bushels
of seed per acre, or drill one-half bushel. Cut (if for hay) as soon as the heads
are formed.

MILLET, HUNGARIAN. (Panicwm 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 13 bushels to the acre. Bushel, (48 lbs.), $5.00.

MILLET, COMMON. (Panicum Miliacewm.) Excellent for forage. Requires
a dry, light rich soil. Height, 2} to 4 ft. Bushel, (50 Ibs.), $5.00.

MILLET, GOLDEN. (Panicum Germanicum.) An improved variety, grow-
ing from three to five feet high. Under some circumstances it will yield more
per acre than the preceding. Bushel, (50 Ibs.), $5.00.

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. If sown broadeast it requires from 15 to 20

g EEE pounds per acre, or in drills 10 to 15 pounds to the acre. Bush. (35 lbs.)-
Hungarian Millet. Lb., 15 ets.; 10 Ibs., $1.35; 100 Ibs. $12.00.

Barley, Beardless. Bushel (48 lbs.), $3.25; 10 bush., $30.00.

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, $2.75; bush. (60 lbs.), $10.00; 10 bush., $90.00.

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
pounds per acre. Lb., 10 cts.; 100 lbs., $8.50. -

Buckwheat, Common. Should be sown about the middle of June, broadcast,
using 1 bushel of seed to the acre. Bushel (48 lbs.), $4.00; 10 bush., $38.00.
Buckwheat, Japanese. Excels all other varieties in yield and earliness. On
account of its 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. Bushel (48 lbs.), $4.00; 10 bush., $38.00.

Carrot, Field. See page 46.

Pop Corn, White Rice. Fine smooth white grains. Quart, 35 cts.; peck, $2.50.

Cow Peas. See Peas Field.

Mangel Wurzel. See page 46.

Sudan Grass. A new annual forage-plant of the Sorghum family, valuable
for hay or thesilo. Itis 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., 35 cts.; 100 lbs., $34.00.

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.), $1.75; 10 bush., $16.50; 20 bush., $30.00. Japanese Millet.

Oats, White Montana. A very prolific and early variety, yielding enormous
crops of fine, heavy grain. The straw is long and strong and is considered
one of the most nutritious for green fodder. Bushel (32 lIbs.), $1.75; 10
bush., $16.00.

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,
$1.85; bush. (60 Ibs.), $7.00; 10 bush., $65.00.

Canada Blue. Valuable for Northern climates. Peck, $1.85;
bush. (60 Ibs.), $7.00; 10 bush., $65.00.

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 or as late as July; one (1) bushel to
the acre in drills; 23 bushels to the acre broadcast. Peck,

Japanese Buckwheat. $1.75; bush., (60 lbs.), $6.50; 10 bush., $62.50,

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., 25 cts.; 100 Ibs., $22.00.

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 lbs.), $3.50.

Rye, Fall or Winter. Sow in August and September. Prepare
the ground as for Wheat and sow at the rate of 13 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 Ibs.), $3.50.

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. Sow 2 bushels per acre

Bed of Farquhar’s Tuberous-Rooted Begonias,

FARQUHAR’S TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS.

The great value of Tuberous-Rooted Begonias for Lawn beds and borders is now 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 beautiful 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 celebrated cultivators, and we feel assured that they are not surpassed by any strain in commerce.
Mailed free at dozen rates.

: Cultural Directions. The tubers may be started in February or March, either singly or 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. 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.
aaa 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.

Wherever high-class decorations are required during Summer, these plants are indispen- :
sable. When grown in pots they may be used in the conservatory or the house with equal {
satisfaction. For table decorations, for jardinieres, and for enlivening groups of palms or
ferns, they are most serviceable. They are quite as desirable for bedding purposes, and may

be planted out after the middle of June in the sunniest situations if well watered, or in partial
shade, but they should be sheltered from strong winds. 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.

LILY FROM CHINA.

Hardy, Beautiful, Fragrant._The Finest Novelty Extant.

# 2

Field of Lili

um regale (Myriophyllum) at our Roslindale nursery.

z 2 a4

This grand new species is acknowledged to be the finest Lily in cultivation,

It has reeeived the following awards:
Gold Medal, Massachusetts Horticultural Society.
Gold Medal, National Flower Show, New York.

First Class Certificate, International Exhibition,
London, 1912.

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. Is 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.

Large Flowering Bulbs. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz.; $75.00
per 100.

Extra Large Bulbs. $1.50 each; $15.00 per doz.; $110.00 per 100.

Lilium regale.

R. & J. FARQUHAR COMPANY, BOSTON. SUMMER-FLOWERING BULBS. 107

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 mportance to many of them.

Bie Itis 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.

2 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.

auratum. (Golden-rayed Japanese Lily.) Flowers 6 to 8 in. in width,
pure white, with a wide band of gold running through the centre of each
petal. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz.

For several years we have grown the Auratum in our own Nursery on
Cape Cod with excellent results, and so far they have shown no signs
of disease. Owing to the increased demand last Autumn our supply of
saleable bulbs is exhausted and we can only accept orders for delivery
in October. Large Home-Grown Bulbs, (October delivery) $1.00
each; $10.00 per doz.

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 greenhouse assortment, and equally valuable 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 an occasional checking of the more robust growers to keep the plantation in good condition for years.

Where early flowers are desired we advocate the introduction of groups of Narcissi, etc., which bloom in April and May and should

be planted in October, as well as Montbretias, 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.

Single plants of hardy perennials will be furnished at the following rates: Plants at $1.50 per dozen, 20 cents each; plants at $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, 35 cents each.

FARQUHAR’S GOLD MEDAL
PAEONIES.

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

Peeonies 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 impor-
tant 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.

Walter Faxon. We are now in a position to offer a limited quantity
of this handsome variety which is considered by many Pzeony experts

EVERBLOOMING HYBRID TEA-SCENTED ROSES.

prea

Rose Garden. Caroline Testout in the Foreground.

This class furnishes some of the finest, most constant blooming and best varieties for exhibition and garden decoration. They bloom continuously
from midsummer until frost. They require protection during Winter, being only half-hardy. Dwarf plants may be readily protected by drawing the soil over
the centre or crown to a height of 6 inches; a further covering should be given by mulching with leaves or pine needles to a height of 6 to 12 inches.

Columbia. A recent variety of fine form and good substance;
a beautiful clear pink color; stands the sun well; free and con-
stant bloomer. $2.00 each.

The raisers describe this variety as by all odds one of the finest
roses ever introduced. In color a luminous flame-pink, toned
with coral and shaded with translucent gold at the base of the
petals. In fragrance it is equal in its intensity to the finest
Marechal Niel. The buds are long and pointed and expand into
a flower of mammoth proportions. The growth is vigorous to a
degree. The beauty of form and ever-increasing wealth of color
is maintained from the bud until the last petals drop. $1.50
each.

Premier. New variety of merit; exquisite shade of glowing pink,
free and constant flowering variety of good substance. $2.00
each.

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-

food in the best forms for all crops grown.

CANADA HARDWOOD ASHES.

Ashes Jack 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 good 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.

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 Ibs. per acre.
Light sandy soils, 1000 to 3000 lbs. per acre, according to their
apparent need. Price, per 100-Ib. bag, $1.35; 500 Ibs., $6.50; ton,
