FARQUHAR’S RELIABLE VEGETABLE SEEDS.

ARTICHOKE. Alcachofa, (Sr.)

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 protection 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 early in February 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.

- ASPARAGUS. § Esparrago, (Sr.)

Culture. Sow theseeds thinly in drills one foot apart and oneinch 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.

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.

CELERY.

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
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
veek, 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
wg. 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 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 is 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
progressive mushroom specialist in England. We import every two or three months to ensure freshness.

Farquhar’s Selected
Yellow Globe Danvers
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 Everg reen Lawn GrasS$Ss 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, 35 cents (by mail, 40 cents); 4 quarts, $1.25; peck, $2.25; bushel of 20 Ibs., $8.00; 10 bushels, $75.00.

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

Many lawns and golf-link experts now prefer to use grass seed mixture 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 of 25 Ibs., $12.00; 10 to 25 bushels, $11.50 per bushel; 25 to 50 bushels, $11.25 per bushel;
50 bushels and upwards, $11.00 per bushel.

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 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. Price, 60 cents per lb.; by mail, 65 cents. 10 lbs., $5.00; 100 lbs., $45.00. 25
lbs. and upwards at the 100-lb. rate.

WHITE CLOVER.

A splendid dwarf, spreading clover esteemed for use on lawns. Thrives best in cool, moist and shady situations, but will generally
survive anywhere. Invaluable for sea-shore lawns, where many grasses fail. One pound for 3000 sq. ft., if alone; not more than
one pound to the bushel of lawn seed, if mixed. Price, 90 ects. per lb.; 10 lbs. $8.50.

FARQUHAR’S LAWN FERTILIZER.

A strictly high grade fertilizer, highly concentrated, and containing all the elements needed for the perfect development of the
lawn. The use of Farquhar’s Lawn Fertilizer for top-dressing does away with the practice of covering the lawn with stable manure. It
should be sown broadcast in the Spring or Fall, and if possible should be applied in dull weather but if used during warm weather, soak
down with a hose after applying. A 10-lb. package is sufficient for a space 15 x 20 feet; 800 to 1000 lbs. per acre. Price per ton, $78.00;
100 lbs., $4.50; 50 lbs., $2.75; 25 Ibs., $1.75; 10 Ibs., $1.00.

ARQUHAR’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-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 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.

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 Ibs. per acre. Lhb., 45 cts.; 10 lbs., $4.00; 100 Ibs., $38.00.

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.,
40 ets.; 10 Ibs., $3.75; 100 Jbs., $35.00.

MAMMOTH or LARGE RED NORTHERN. § (Trifolium pratenes.) On rich,
loamy soils this variety grows nearly twice as large as the Medium Red Clover
and is earlier in starting growth. Lb., 55 cts.; 10 Ibs., $5.25; 100 lbs., $50.00.

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., 55 cts.; 10 lbs., $5.25; 100 Ibs, $50.0u.

SCARLET or CRIMSON CLOVER. (Trifolium 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., 35 cts.;

10 Ibs., $3.35; 100

lbs., $32.00.

WHITE CLOVER. - : —
(Trifolium repens.) Mammoth Red Clover.

This clover should al-

ways be sown on permanent or temporary pastures. Will grow on any

y soil, but especially adapted to low meadows, where the surface

; Gey . mellow and rich. Sweet and nutritious. Lb., 90 cts.; 10
s., $8.50.

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., 25 cts.; 100 Ibs., $20.00.

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 pet 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 13 bushels to the acre. Bushel, (48 lbs.), $5.00.

MILLET, COMMON. (Panicum Miliaceum.) Excellent for forage. Requires
a dry, light rich soil. Height, 23 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 lbs.), $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 broadcast it requires from 15 to 20
ze ae PAB pounds per acre, or in drills 10 to 15 pounds to the acre. Bush. (35 Ibs.).

Hungarian Millet. Lb., 15 ets.; 10 lbs., $1.85; 100 Ibs. $12.00.

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

May when the soil has become warm, using from 16 to 24 lbs. per acre.
Lb., 16 cts.; 100 Ibs., $14.00.

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 lbs.), $1.50; 10 bush., $13.50; 20 bush., $25.00. 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 lbs.), $2.00; 10

pus! S-90 Peas, Field for Fodder and Green Manuring. The White
Canada Field Pea is the best variety for general cultivation; it
affords a most profitable crop for fattening stock. It has 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 pas-
tures 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., $48.00.

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; 2} bushels to the acre broadcast. Peck,
$1.50; bush., (60 lbs.), $5.00; 10 bush., $48.00.

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., 20 cts.; 100 lbs., $18.00

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.), $3.00.

Rye, Rosen 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.

Sand Vetch or Hairy Veteh. (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.

FARQUHAR’S HARDY PERENNIAL FLOWER SEEDS.

Hardy perennials are easily raised from seeds; they may be sown either in Spring or
during the early Summer. The siniplest 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.

and warm under the benches of a greenhouse, for example; do not pot up
the bulbs before the flower buds appear; when first potted give very little
water and promote growth by giving moderate bottom heat.

Amaryllis in cultivation; exceeding in the size and fine form of
their flowers as well as in the diversity of colors and markings,
all former hybrids. The segments are of nearly uniform size,
giving the flowers a regular trumpet form. $1.25 each; $12.00
per doz.

Equestris. Scarlet, with broad white stripes, extending from the
throat to half way up the segments. 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz.

Profuse blooming tender perennials for greennouse or conservatery
decoration during Summer. The scaly tubers hould be potted in the early
Spring in a compost of turfy loam, leaf mould and sand. They should be

grown in a moist, warm temperature, shaded from the sun until they begin
to bloom, when they should be kept cooler to prolong the duration of the
flowers.

NEW VARIETIES.

noted hybridizer and far surpass the older varieties in size and
beauty of bloom. The plants are very vigorous in growth and
exceedingly free-flowering.

bright blue flowers in clusters, which continue in bloom over a long
period. They should be grown in pots or tubs, in sandy soil well
enriched. The plants should be divided before they become over-
crowded in the pot or tub. They are particularly suitable for
piazza or terrace decoration, and may also be forced in the green-

house.

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.

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.

BEGONIA, SINGLE-FLOWERING VARIETIES.
These are best adapted to outdoor planting.
Mixed, all colors. $3.75 per doz.; $30.00 per 100.

Wherever high-class decorations are required during Summer, these plants are
indispensable. When grown in pots they may be used in the conservatory or the
house with equal satisfaction. For table decorations, for jardinieres, and for en-
livening 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.

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 Auratum and Specioswm 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.

Auratum. (Golden-rayed Japanese Lily.) Flowers 6 to 8 in. in width,

BUDDLEIA hybrida, Eva Dudley. Mr. E 4. Wilson of the
Arnold 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. asia-
tica. A free-growing and extremely floriferous plant, it com-
bines 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 de-
lightfully scents a whole room.”’

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 Gladioliand 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 $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; plants at $3.50 per dozen, 40 cents each.

PONIES

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.

160 R. & J. FARQUHAR COMPANY, BOSTON. STRAWBERRIES.

STRAWBERRY PLANTS.

Cultural Directions. The Strawberry is easily cultivated: abundant crops can be obtained from a variety of soils, differing
widely in character, from a light sand to a heavy clay. The best soil is a deep sandy loam, but any soil suited to the growth of ordinary
field or garden crops may be trusted to successfully grow the Strawberry. The soil should be broken up and pulverized by spade-
trenching or subsoil-plowing, enriching with good stable manure to a depth of fully two feet, the quantity of manure to be determined
by the condition of the soil. The plants may be set in beds of three rows one foot apart and one foot distant in the rows, with a space
of two and a half feet between the outside rows of adjoining beds left for a pathway. They may also be planted in single rows three
feet apart and one foot apart in the rows.

All varieties offered are perfect-flowering, needing no fertilization by another variety.
TWO NEW VARIETIES OF STRAWBERRIES.

Raised from seed by the late S. D. Warren, of Weston, Mass., and claimed by him to be as near rust-proof as possible, with fruit far

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. Price,
