SUMMER-FLOWERING BULBS. 99 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. i They are of easiest cultivation, rarely attacked by insects or blight, and succeed in any good soil which is kept moderately moist. y 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 Borerde.

The plants should be set-ten or twelve inches apart. Ree Bad athena 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. aE They will thrive either in full sunshine or partial shade, but when fully exposed to the sun the beds must be kept moist.

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.
