FARQUHAR’S RELIABLE VEGETABLE SEEDS.
E L > ARTICHOKE. Alcachofa, (Sr.) KL aa Sy iy, ot Culture. Sow seeds in April or May, and when large enough, transplant in ff men y
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. Inthe Northern States it is better to treat this plant as an annual, sowing seeds under glass early in Feb- ruary 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.

Artichoke Large Globe or Paris.
ASPARAGUS. Z£sparrago, (Sp.)
Culture. Sow the seeds thinly in drills one foot apart and oneinch deep. The permanent bed should be trenched very deeply, and well manured with rich, thoroughly decayed 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.

4 Bed of Faryuhar’s English Milltrack Mushroom Spawn.
MUSHROOM. (Agaricus Campestris. ) a 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 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 gailons. One brick of Mushroom Spawn is sufficient for ten square feet of bed. x
AMERICAN PURE CULTURE SPAWN. This spawn is produced by selecting spores from individual specimen mushrooms and is propa- gated and transferred to the bricks of manure which, when planted, produce Mushrooms, uniform in shape, even in size and of a creamy-white color. Price per brick of about 1 lb., 40 cts. Per 20 bricks, $6.50. Per 100 bricks, $30.00.

SUGGESTIONS FOR MAKING AND CARING FOR LAWNS.
The ground selected for lawn, should have at least a foot in depth of good soil; it should be thoroughly pulverized and liberally en- riched with well-rotted barn-yard dressing, dug well under, and the surface made perfectly smooth.
The seed sown should be a mixture of hardy, dwarf-growing grasses, free from seeds of weeds, and when used on light soils, a little white clover should be added, say one-half pound to the bushel.
The seed should be lightly raked in and the ground rolled to make the surface firm.
Perhaps the best time of the year to sow a new lawn is September; the natural seeds of weeds which are present in every soil do not start then, and the grass gets a season’s growth in advance of the weeds. The next best season is in early Spring, the earlier, the better, so that the grass may get started as much as possible before indigenous weeds.
The after-care of a lawn is also important. It should be cut regularly, otherwise the coarser grasses will grow up and choke out the finer sorts, thus destroying the smooth velvety surface so much to be desired. It should be regularly enriched by top-dressing with good commercial lawn dressing, fine ground bone, unleached wood ashes, etc. Lawn dressings composed entirely of chemicals should be used cau- tiously and applied only when the grass is dry. Barn-yard manure should never be used to top-dress lawns; it usually contains seeds of nox- ious weeds from the hay, which when introduced, are. difficult to exterminate.
Every spring the lawn should be raked over with a steel garden rake, which will take out dead grass, and scratch the ground some- what. A little lawn grass seed should be scattered over bare or thin spots and the whole rolled to render the surface even and firm.
Farquhar’s Evergreen awn GRASS iis a mixture/of the finest ’Americantand 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 80 to 100 lbs. per acre. One pound will sow a plot 20 x 20 feet or 400 square feet. For renovating existing turf, use one-half of this quantity (Bush. 25 lbs.).
Price per pound, 60 ects.; 5 Ibs., $2.90; 10 Ibs., $5.75; 100 lbs., $55.00. Bushel of 25 lbs., $13.75.
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 ‘bs. per acre and in many eases 100 lbs. will be an advantage. Price, 65 cents per ote 5 lbs., $3.15; 10 lbs., $6.25; 100 lbs., $60.00. 7’ wenty- jive pounds and upwards at the hundred pound rate.
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 1900 lbs. per acre. Price per ton, $65.00; 100 lbs., $4.00; 50 lbs., $2.25; 25 lbs., $1.35: 10 lbs., 85 ets.

FARQUHAR’S ‘‘FAIR GREEN” MIXTURE.
This is composed mainly of perennial Grasses which have proven of great value for Fair-Green use. They are all of dwarf, spread- ing growth, forming an even and lasting turf which improves from year to year if given proper care. It contains no clover, which
is objectionable on account of making the surface slippery. pounds per 100 Ibs. of grass seed. 55 ets. per Ib.
If white clover is desired, the quantity sown should not exceed two Sow 100 to 150 Ibs. per acre. Per lb., 65 ets.; per 100 lbs., at 60 cts. per lb.; per 1000 Ibs., at
FARQUHAR’S ‘‘SHADY PLACE” MIXTURE.
This is a mixture of extra fine Grasses adapted for growing in the shade and under trees.
We recommend the use of this mix-
ture wherever other grasses on account of shade have failed to make a close sward. Sow at the rate of 1 lb. per each 300 sq. ft. for a
new lawn, or about half that quantity for renovating existing turf.
FARQUHAR’S *“‘TERRACE”’ MIXTURE.
A mixture of strong, deep-rooted Grasses for banks or terraces. Al- though the Grasses are strong and deep-rooted, they will produce a fine green velvety surface, and also prevent washing away during heavy rains. 1 lb. will sow approximately 300 sq. ft. of new lawn. Price per lb., 60 cts.;5 lbs., 32.90; 10 lbs., $5.75; 100 lbs., $55.00.
FARQUHAR’S ‘‘SEA-SHORE” MIXTURE
A combination of various dwarf deep-rooted Grasses adapted for lawns near the salt water. The seeds should be sown early in the season, so that the young plants may be well established before warm weather. Use at the rate of 1 lb. per 300 sq. ft., 100 to 130
| Ibs. to the acre. Price per lb., 65 ets.;5 Tbs., $3.15; 10 ibs., $6.25; 100 lbs., $60.00.
Price per lb., 60 cts.; 5 lbs., $2.90; 10 lbs., $5.75; 100 lbs., $55.00.
FARQUHAR’S ‘“‘PUTTING-GREEN” MIXTURE.
The hardiest and finest low-growing Grasses are contained in this Mixture. It produces a beautiful and lasting green turf calculated to withstand hard tear and wear. Sow at the rate of 1 lb. per 200 sq. ft., even thicker than this would be beneficial in some instances. The average green will require about 50 to 80 Ibs. Price per lb., 90 cts.; 5 lbs., $4.35; 10 lbs., $8.50; 100 lbs., $80.00.
FARQUHAR’S ‘“‘TENNIS-COURT” MIXTURE.
A mixture of fine Grasses, consisting of those varieties which are adapted to produce a close elastic turf. For the best results a sow- ing of about 1 Ib. per 200 sq. ft. will be required. Price per lb., 90 ets.; 5 lbs., $4.35; 10 lbs., $8.50; 100 lbs., $80.00.

CANADA HARDWOOD ASHES. Ashes lack ammonia and phosphoric acid, but contain potash and lime, which are essential, not only as plant food, but also as sweetners of the soil and solvents of other plant food ingredients. 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. Price, 100-lb. bag, $2.75; ton, $45.00.

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.

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., 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 cts.; 10 lbs., $3.75; 100 Ibs., $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., 60 cts.; 10 Ibs., $5.75; 100 Ibs., $55.00.
RED MEDIUM. (Trifoliwm 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., 60 cts.; 10 lbs., $5.75; 100 Ibs., $55.00
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 Ibs., $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
soil, but especially adapted to low meadows, where the surface
ae is 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 fore or pasturage; valuable for soiling. Sow twenty pounds per acre. Lb., 25 cts.; 100 lbs., $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 oe 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 lbs.), $5.00.
MILLET, COMMON. (Panicum Miliaceum.) Excellent for forage. Requires a dry, light rich soil. Height, 23 to 4 ft. Bushel, (50 lbs.), $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 broadcast it requires from 15 to 20
pounds per acre, or in drills 10 to 15 pounds to the acre. Bush. (35 lbs.). Hungarian Millet. Lb., 15 cts.; 10 Ibs., $1.35; 100 lbs. $12.00.

Barley, Beardless. Bushel (48 lbs.), $2.50; 10 bush., $24.00.
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 $2.00; bush. (60 Ibs.), $6.50; 10 bush., $62.50.
Broom Corn, Evergreen. This variety produces long, straight brush, very fine and always remains green. The best sort for brooms. Height, 7{t. Sow 10 pounds per acre. Lb. 20 cts.; 100 lbs.., $18.00.
Buckwheat, Common. Should be sown about the middle of June, broadcast, using 1 bushel of seed to the acre. Bushel (48 lbs.), $3.00; 10 bush., $28.00.
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.), $3.00; 10 bush., $28.00.

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 orthesilo. 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., 15 cts.; 100 lbs., $12.00.
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 3 : : culture. Bushel (82 lbs.), $1.75; 10 bush., $16.50; 20 bush., $32.00. Japanese Millet.
Oats, New Victory. A.very prolific and early variety, yielding enormous crops of fine, heavy grain. The straw is long and strong and is considercd one of the most nutritious for green fodder. Bushel (32 lbs.), $3.00; 10 bush., $28.00.
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.
ES
Canada, White. Valuable for Northern climates. Peck, $1.50; bush. (60 lbs.), $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.

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 Ibs. 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. Bushel (56 lbs.), $3.00
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 Peck, $2.00; bush. (60 Ibs.), $7.50.
Sand Vetch 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. 1t 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, $3.75; bush. (60 lbs.), $14.00.
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. It is the best egg-producing food known. Sow 5 lbs. 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 toset 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. $3.00 per doz.; $22.00 per 100. Separate Colors: Crimson, Scarlet, Pink, White, Salmon, Yellow. $3.00 per doz.; $22.00 per 100.

FANCY-LEAVED CALADIUMS.
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 Auwratum 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.
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. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; $40.00 per 100.

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.

JAPANESE IRISES. = (ris Kempferi)
4 In these we find combinations of form and beauty far excelling any | other type of Iris. The stately flowers are often ten to twelve inches in diameter, and of wonderfully varied and beautiful colors. They come into bloom in June and continue flowering for over a month. Excellent for cutting, for which purpose they should be cut in the bud, thence placed in water, where they will open most charmingly. The plants require rich, moist soil, and, if set out early in Spring they will bloom the next summer. The collection we offer below is selected from the best varieties and is remarkably fine.

PAONIES.
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.

: 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.
