GOLD MEDAL NOVELTIES FROM CHINA.

Raised from Seeds Collected in China for the Arnold Arboretum.

Gold Medal Awarded by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society 1910. {>

(Ready jor delivery in April.)

CLEMATIS MONTANA RUBENS. See illustration on front
page of cover. This beautiful hardy, new Clematis begins to
bloom early in June when a profusion of soft rosy-red blooms
resembling those of the Japanese Anemone are produced.
As the flowers are borne on the young wood, they appear more
or less freely until frost. A First Class Certificate was awarded
to this plant by the Royal Horticultural Society of London.
First size plants, each, $1.00; per dozen, $10.00; second size
plants, each, .50; per dozen, $5.00.

AMPELOPSIS HENRYANA.
illustration on front page of cover. In habit, this new climber
resembles our native woodbine. The ground color of the
leaves is dark velvety green, with the mid-rib and principal
veins silvery white. The foliage has a very striking appear-
ance in autumn when the ground color changes to vivid red,
the mid-rib and veins remaining white. In Massachusetts,
this vine requires protection during winter, but would probably
prove quite hardy south of New York, or even farther north
where the influence of the ocean moderates the temperature.
Award of Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society of London.
Each, .75; dozen, $7.50.

AMPELOPSIS THOMSONII. Vitis Thomsonii. Sce illus-
tration on last page of cover. This charming new climber has
proved hardy out-of-doors in Massachusetts during the past
two winters. The leaves are greenish purple above, and bright
claret color beneath; changing in the autumn to rich red
Award of Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society of London.
Each, .75; dozen, $7.59.

LILIUM LEUCANTHEMUM. See illustration on last page of
cover. Mr. E. H. Wilson, the famous collector who found this
new species in Northwestern China, describes it as—‘‘a strong
growing lily, 5 to 6 ft, or more tall, well clothed with moderately
broad leaves having bulbils in their axils. The flowers vary in
number from five to ten, and usually rise from a common level,
but occasionally the floral axis elongates; in shape and size they
resemble the well known Lilium Harrisi, are greenish white
with a suspicion of purple without and the purest white within.
Occasionally the purple tinge reflects through on the inner sur-
face of tube giving a charming and delicate effect.’’—Flower-
ing bulbs, each, $2.00; per dozen, $20.00.

POLYGONIUM MULTIFLORUM, A rapid growing vine fre-
quently reaching 15 feet or more in height, the first season.
It produces thick bright green heart-shaped leaves and a
profusion of delicate white flowers resembling the finer
Spiraeas. Each, 25;. dozen, $2.50.

SORBARIA SORBIFOLIA. (Spirea.) This variety attains a
height of six to eight feet, and, would be well worthy of a
prominent place among garden shrubs for its rich green
feathery foliage alone, which has a ferny appearance. Its
further charm, is that it produces enormous panicles of white
feathery flowers in September, when few shrubs bloom.
Each 50 cents; dozen $5.00.

Vitis Henryana. See

R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO., BOSTON, JANUARY ist, 1911.

Clematis montana rubens,

CLEMATIS ARMANDI. A new, hardy species from the moun-
tains of Western China of strong rampant growth and covered with
a wealth of glossy, deep green, luxuriant foliage, which is evergreen.
During the past two winters, it has stood in our nurseries with only
a slight covering to keep off the sun. The individual flowers, of
which there are from a dozen to thirty in a cluster, are about two
inches across, white, often rosy pink on the back and fragrant.
It begins to flower in May. This species is a rapid grower, and
should prove very valuable for covering pergolas and trellises.

OTHER PLANT NOVELTIES.

Ready for Delivery in April.

Alternanthera Turvel. This is perhaps the most gorgeous
of all Alternantheras. It isin the style of A. paronychioides major,
but the foliage is larger and the plant of much freer growth, same
dwarf habit but more spreading. In summer the foliage becomes
brilliant scarlet-red. It is unrivalled for carpet-bedding and for
edgings. Dozen, $1.50; per 100, $10.00.

Begonia Pink Beauty. A new hybrid sort, valuable both
for summer bedding purposes and for winter blooming under glass.
As a bedding plant it has the appearance of Begonia Gloire de Lor-
raine in color and habit although more compact. As a pot plant,
it blooms continuously and is very interesting. Each, 30 cents;
dozen, $2.00; per 100, $12.00.

Geranium, Mrs. Charles Pfaff. This is one of the best gera-
niums in cultivation. It produces enormous trusses of large,
single flowers of a charming shade of light pink. It is desirable for
both bedding and pot culture. Each, 30 cents; dozen, $2.00.

Pelargonium Dawn. This appearance of novelty marks a
great advance in the Pelargonium family. It is the first one to
bloom continuously throughout the summer like a bedding gera-
nium, and as a bedding plant has already created a sensation in
Europe. It grows to a height of 12 to 15 inches and produces fine

~ trusses of large flowers of a dark bronzy cerise with the characteris-
tie dark velvety

FARQUHAR’S RELIABLE VEGETABLE SEEDS.

ARTICHOKE. Artischoke, (Gur.) Alcachoja, (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 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 and keeping the seedlings growing vigor-
ously until May, when they should be set out in rich soil, when they will produce fine heads
the first season.

ASPARAGUS. Spargel, (GeR.) Esparrago, (Sp.)
Culture. Sow the seeds thinly in drills one foot apart and one inch 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.

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 cul-
tivated 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.

Culture. For very early use sow in January or February in hot beds, prick out when the plants are strong enough into other hot-beds, or sow in hot-
beds in March. Transplant to the open ground when danger from killing frosts has passed, in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches from plant to plant. For suc-
cession, sow in the open ground the last of March or early in April. The autumn and winter varieties may be sown in April or early in May in shallow drills 3
or 4 inches apart; transplant early in July, making the rows about 2} feet apart, and setting the plants 2 feet apart in the rows. Cabbage succeeds best in a
fresh, rich soil, well manured and deeply dug or ploughed. One ounce of seed produces about 3,500 plants.

large enough, transplant, making
the rows about 24 feet apart and 18
inches between the plants. Trans-
planting should be done in moist
weather. One ounce of seed pro-
duces about 3,000 plants.

Crosby’s Original Boston Market Celery.

CELERY. © Selleri, (Ger.) Apios, (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 trans-
planting. 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 replanted 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.

Farquhar’s Perfection Forcing Cucumber.

CUCUMBER. Gurken, (Gur.) Pepino, (Spr.)

For very early use, seed may be started in heat and the plants set out in May. Pieces of in-
verted sod are an excellent medium for starting and growing early Cucumber plants, as they can be
readily lifted from the hot-bed to the garden without disturbing the young plants growing upon
them. For main crop, plant in hills 4 feet apart, in the end of May. Leave 4 strong plants to
each hill. The Cucumbers should be gathered when fit for use, as if left to ripen it destroys their
productiveness. For pickles, plant during June and July. One ounce to 50 hills; 2 to 3 pounds to
an acre.

CULTURE.

Mushrooms are more easily
cultivated than many people
imagine, and may be grown
in any room or cellar where
the temperature can be main-
tained 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 thor-
oughly turned and mixed;
many growers prefer a mixt-
ure of three parts horse drop-
pings 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 sub-
sided 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 com-
post 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 tempera-
ture is right, mushrooms 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 treatment 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 gal-
lons. One pound of Farquhar’s English Milltrack Mushroom spawn is sufficient for six square feet of bed.

MUSHROOM SPAWN. Farquhar’s English Milltrack. ‘This Spawn is from virgin mycelium, germinated and developed under
special scientific methods, is not the uncertain material of the past, but is of uniform quality, prepared by the most successful and
progressive mushroom specialist in England. We import every two or three months to ensure freshness

be of quick growth and very prolific. Made in bricks which average about 48 cubic inches.

ONION.

Zwiebel, (GER.) Cebolla, (SP.)

The Onion has been cultivated as an
article of food from the earliest times,
and is perhaps at the present day more
universally grown than any other vege-
table. A good crop is impossible un-
less 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 with-
out 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 Yellow Globe Danvers Onion.

Farquhar’ s Yellow Globe. Danvers (Eastern Grown.) The finest type of this favorite American variety, which is

GARDEN PEAS.

Ejibsen, (Ger.) Chicaros-o-Ginsantes, (Sp.)

Culture. Smooth round- seeded varieties for early crops, should
be sown as early in spring as the ground can be worked; the sweeter
wrinkled sorts from the middle of April until July. ‘Sow in rows
3 feet apart, 3 inches deep, using of the smooth, round-seeded sorts
one quart to 100 feet of drill, of the wrinkled sorts one quart to 80
feet.

Those marked with an asterisk (*) are wrinkled marrows and are
the sweetest and best flavored Peas.

TOMATO.

Tomates, (Sp.) Liebes Apfel, (GER.)

Culture. Sow thinly about the first week in March
in a hot-bed, greenhouse, window, or sitting
room, where the temperature is never below 60
degrees. When two inches high set out the plants
in boxes about four inches apart, or pot singly.
About the first of June they may be transferred to
the open ground. Set them deeply, four feet apart,
and a shovelful of rotted manure should be mixed
in the earth of each hill. If the vines are trained on
trellis, the fruit will be finer and larger. One ounce
of seed produces about 1500 plants; } lb. for an acre.

‘Bountiful’ is certainly appropriately named, for
I find it to be one of the most productive varieties
I have grown. The fruit sets freely in large
clusters. Seven to nine perfectly formed specimens
are not uncommon, and it covers a long season of
fruitage. The vines are strong, thrifty growers,
healthy in appearance, the foliage holding its bright
green color late in the season. It is one of the best
flavored hot-house Tomatoes I have ever tasted.”

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

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

I 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 couxtry affords
the very best evidence of the high quality, purity and permanence of your Lawn Grasses.

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

Yours truly, Duncan Finlayson

FARQUHAR’S SPECIAL GRASS SEED MIXTURES.

~~ =

FARQUHAR’S FAIR GREENS MIXTURE.

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. Per lb., 25; per 100 lbs., at 20 cents per lb.: per 1000 Ibs.
at 18 cents perlb. Sow 50 lbs. per acre.

Bretton Woods Golf Club, Bretton Woods, N. H.

calculated to withstand hard tear and wear. Quart, .80: by mail .403 peck, $1.50; per bushel of 20 lbs., $6.00.

FARQUHAR’S GRASS SEED MIXTURE FOR TERRACES.

A mixture of strong, deep-rooted Grasses for banks or terraces. Although the Grasses are strong and deep-rooted, they will
produce a fine green velvety surface, and also prevent washing away during heavy rains. Quart, .80; by mail; .40 peck, $1.50
per bushel of 20 Ibs., $6.00.

FARQUHAR’S GRASS SEED MIXTURE FOR SHADY PLACES.

This is a mixture of extra fine grasses adapted for growing in the shade and under trees. Werecommend the use of this mixture
wherever other grasses on account of shade have failed to make a close sward. Quart, 35; by mail.45; peck, $2,00; per bushel of
20 lbs., $7,00.

FARQUHAR’S GRASS SEED MIXTURE FOR SEASHORE.

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 one quart for 200 square feet; 5
to 6 bushels per acre. Quart, .80; peck, $1.50 per bushel of 20 lbs., $6.00.

Mr. R. O. Robbins, Needham, Mass. June 9th 1910 writes:—“I bought a peck of your Grass Seed Mixture for Terraces this Spring
and it has been very satisfactory. The grass is of a beautiful color, very thick, and is now ready to be clipped off for the third time. It attracts
notice and is spoken of and COIN ee by the casual observer.”

GRASSES FOR PERMANENT HAY CROPS AND PASTURES.

These contain only the most suitable Grasses, the proportionate quantity of éach being regulated by soil, situation and purpose for
which desired. The object to be attained is a constant, successive growth of rich pasturage from spring until fall. It is a well-established
fact that soil sown with a variety of different grasses which are adapted to the soil, and which attain perfection at alternate months
from April to September, produce very much larger and more satisfactory crops, both jor hay and pasturage, than when only one or two
kinds of grasses or clovers aresown. ‘The good results obtained from our Special Grass Seed mixtures are demonstrated by the constant-
ly increasing demand for them. Fall seeding is preferable, but spring sowing will be successful if done early, while the land is cool and
moist. In addition to the Grasses, we advise sowing 10 lbs. of Mixed Clover Seed per acre. Clover seed should be sown separately as
it is heavier than Grass seeds and settles at the bottom when mixed with them, al 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.

RHODE ISLAND BENT. Agrostis canina. A bottom Grass, suitable for sowing with tufted varieties. Hardy
and early and a grass that will withstand heat and dry weather. Sweet and nutritious and relished
by all kinds of stock. Sow four bushels per acre if alone.

ROUGH-STALKED MEADOW. Poa trivialis. An excellent permanent Grass to mix with other varieties
for moist pastures. Produces a constant supply of nutritious herbage. Suitable for growing in
shade.

SHEEP’S FESCUE. Festuca ovina. Of dense growth, excellent for dry situations and sheep pastures.
Sow two and one-half bushels per acre.

FINE LEAVED SHEEP’S FESCUE. Festuca ovina tenuijolia. A very fine leaved Grass; dwarf in
habit. Will succeed in dry, high locations and inferior soils. Hardy and durable.

SWEET VERNAL, TRUE PERENNIAL. Invaluable in lawns on account of its very early growth and
fragrant odor which it imparts to the other grasses in drying. Remains green very late. Hardy and
permanent.

TALL FESCUE. Festuca elatior. Excellent for permanent pastures on moist soils on which it yields im-|

mensely. Cattle and stock eat it greedily.

TALL OAT GRASS. Avena elatior. A perennial which grows in loose tufts and throws up an abundance
of leaves, and tall stalks. Succeeds best on rich upland soils, and when once established is a great
drought resister. Early. Makes its heaviest growth the second year.

TIMOTHY or HERDS GRASS. Phileum pratense. This Grass is usually considered and treated as a
short-lived perennial, and hence is the best grass to grow in a short rotation. It succeeds best on moist
loams and clays naturally rich in humus or on those which have been heavily manured. It grows in
loose tufts, with few short leaves, so that Red Top or Red Clover should be sown with it to furnish
heavy bottom growth of leaves. Sow one bushel per acre if alone.

VARIOUS LEAVED FESCUE. Festuca heterophylla. Early, hardy perennial two or three feet high.
Valuable for permanent pasture. Thriving in high altitudes and in shady locations.

WATER MEADOW GRASS. Poa aquatica. A creeping rooted perennial; grows in alluvial marshy soils,
slow running streams, margins of fresh water, lakes, ete. An excellent pasture Grass, for wet situa-
tions. Trout and wild ducks relish the seeds and young shoots as food.

among shifting sea sands. Adapted for consolidating Sand, Embankments, or Terraces.

SEA LAND LYME GRASS. Elymus Arenarius. A creeping rooted perennial; grows among shifting or
blowing sea sands, for binding which, along with Ammophila Arundinacea, thereby preventing the en-
croachments of the sea, its numerous strong spreading roots render it most suitable.

CLOVERS PRICES SUBJECT TO

° MARKET FLUCTUATION.

ALFALFA. TURKESTAN. 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.

ALSIKE or SWEDISH. Trijoliwm hybridum. This Clover will thrive where the soil is quite wet, and
will even stand flooding without being killed. Productive and sweet and extremely valuable for both

asturage or soiling.

MAMMOTH or LARGE RED NORTHERN. Trijoliuwm pratense. On rich loamy soils this variety grows
nearly twice as large as the Medium Red Clover; and is earlier in starting growth.

RED MEDIUM. Trifolium pratense. The best clover for all practical purposes. Succeeds best on rich,
warm ioams, containing humus. Lime and potash are essential fer its best development. A biennial,
but by close pasturage may be made t» last several years.

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, nitrogen-storing plant, and as such is invaluable for growth in orchards and wherever it
can occupy the land trom July to December. Sow twenty pounds per acre. May be sown at any
time from May to October. ‘

WHITE CLOVER. Trijolium repens. This Clover should always be sown on permanent or temporary pas-
tures. Wiil grow on any soil, but especially adapted to low meadows, where the surface soil is mellow
and rich. Sweet and nutritious.

YELLOW TREFOIL. Medicago lupulina. On very light, dry, or poor ground this variety is valuable for |

a sheep pasture.

Cow Peas. Broader or soiling. A valuable 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 lugum- |
inous 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 complete 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 May 10 or as late as July, one (1) bushel to the acre in drills, 24 bushels to the
acre broadcast. 56 3.50

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

Peas for Field Culture Only. This variety and the Blue Field are the best two Peas for general cultiva-

with very satisfactory results, following winter Rye, which was cut green in June for dairy cows, then
stubble turned under and sown to mixed Peas and Oats, furnishing a large amount of forage in August,
when Grass pastures are usually short. Sow 2 bushels to the acre; if with Oats, one bushel.

Rape, Dwarf Essex. A forage plant of great merit, easily grown in any part of the United States, and |
of great value for sheep and lambs. One acre of Rape is sufficient to pasture 10 to 15 lambs for two to
two and one-half months. It is often sown broadcast, about 5 lbs. to the acre, but will yield much better

if drilled about 2 Ibs. to the acre, in rows 22 inches apart, and cultivated until the plants are too large.

Seed may be sown in May, but preferably in June or July. 56 4°50) 212) 498200

Rye, Fallor Winter. Sow in August and September. Prepare the ground as for Wheat and sow at the

rate of 14 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. 5 Faye alain
Sand Vetch, or Hairy Veteh. Vicia villosa. An annual, a native of western Asia, has been cultivated

up off the ground there should be planted from 2 to 4 pecks of winter Wheat, Oats, or Rye. It should |

Nothing on the market is as well adapted to cover up shortages in hay crops as are the Millets. They can
be sown up to the end of July, and will make a valuable catch crop.

Millets will yield 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, one to one and one-half bushels of seed per acre, or drill one-half bushel. Cut (if for hay) as
soon as the heads are formed.

MILLET, HUNGARIAN. Panicum Hungariensis. An annual forage plant, which germinates readily and
withstands drought. If cut early, makes an excellent hay, often yielding two or three tons per acre.

setts Agricultural College. Has yielded in America about 7 tons dry straw and 90 bushels of seed per |
acre. Height, 6 ft. Has numerous side leaves and heads a foot in length. The fodder is relished by
cattle and horses, and the ground seed makes an excellent feed for poultry and cattle. Sow one to | |

MANGEL WURZEL.

An invaluable crop for stock feeding. Highly relished by cattle, resulting in im-
proved health and condition, increasing the yield of milch cows. Sow from April to
June on well cultivated, deep, rich soil, ir drills 24 to 30 inches apart. Six to 8 lbs. of
seed are required per acre. Price of all varieties, .10 per oz.; .15 per + 1b.; .40 per lb.;
10 Ibs. and upwards at .35 per Ib. If by mail, add .10 per Ib. extra for postage.

MAMMOTH LONG RED. The largest and heaviest cropper of all the long red sorts.
It grows well out of the ground, and is easily harvested. Color blood red ; a most
valuable and distinct variety, and very popular on account of its nutritious and
milk-producing qualities. Our seed is produced from the largest selected roots and
is a most superior strain.

The plants in the following list all bloom the first season from seeds. Many plants not annuals botanically, are included
because they bloom the first season, and for cultural purposes may be treated as annuals.
THE ANNUAL FLOWERS are equally valuable to professional and amateur gardeners. Few cultivators realize the vast

possibilities they afford at a minimum of cost.

however, by sowing in July or August, giving the plants protection during winter, when they will bloom profusely in the spring and summer.

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.

hey 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 European 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 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 bein 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. i i

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.

FANCY-LEAVED CALADIUMS.

Wherever high-class decorations are required during summer,
these plarts are indispensable. When grown in pots they may be
used in tl.e 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 de-
sirable lor 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.

The increased production of many varieties of these in Japan has greatly
reduced their cost, and in consequence their use has become very general.

It is our opinion that we should plant the bulbs much deeper than we have
done heretofore. While traveling 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 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
ean be supplied in spring if desired. We recommend fall planting for all the
early flowering sorts.

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

HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS.

HE OLD- FASHIONED HARDY FLOWERS. The favorites SE old-t tine aardene are again a 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 succes-
sion 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 adv antage of greater permanency, requiring only cultivation, enriching, a slight mulch
during w inter, 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, Scillas, 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 ron the severe climate of New England.

Single plants of hardy perennials will be furnished at the following rates: Plants at $1.00, $1.25.and $1.50 per dozen, 15 cents seach; plants

at $1.75 and $2.00 per dozen, 20 cents each; plants at $2.50 per dozen, 2 25 cents each; plants at $3.00 per dozen, 30 cents each.

flavor.

Sample. P. Excellent for either market or home use; prolific,
large, firm and delicious.

It is one of the best mid-season berries, either for private use or
market. It is a vigorous grower and requires good soil and high
cultivation. As it does not thrive in all soils, it should not be
planted extensively until its adaptability is ascertained.

Minute Man. P. Very productive, and free growing sort with
large solid berries. A fine market variety.

New York. One of the best sorts for private or market gardens.
The berries are large, of long conical form; dark red color, firm tex-
tureandof remarkably sweet flavor. Inthemarket they sellat sight.

Pride of Cumberland. ‘The plant is a vigorous grower and free
from rust, and ripening about one week earlier than Gandy. It
is nearly as large, equally firm, as good a color, thriving in either

high or low land, but owing to the immense crops it sets, the »

ground should be well fertilized to ensure best results.

keeps well.

Chesapeake. [he plants of the Chesapeake are large and vigorous
with rich dark green foliage. The fruit is of large size, deep red
in color and of a rich aromatic flavor.

Commonwealth. ‘This is the latest of all Strawberries; bearing
large, ecnical, deep crimson fruit, sweet and of quality equal to
the well known Bubach. Not only an extra large berry, but also
very productive, of deep rich color and solid. It is smooth and
quite juicy. The plants are strong, not quite so rank in growth
as the Marshall, and free from rust. One of the best introduc-
tions of recent years.

Gandy. This popular old variety is probably known by most berry
growers. It is more largely grown than any other late variety.
It is at home on black swamp land, if well drained, upon medium
stiff or red clay land. On sandy soils it is unproductive. All late
varieties are compared by Gandy, which is the highest praise

that could be given it. Large size, fine appearance and remark-
able keeping and carrying qualities.

New Home. As late and large as Gandy, fruit a bright red color
that does not loose its lustre and turn dark for a long time after
being picked. It is a vigorous grower, and, unlike Gandy, will
produce a large crop on either high or low land. The fruit is so
firm and keeps so well, it does not need to be picked oftener
than three times a week. Its great productiveness, uniform
large size, and unsurpassed carrying and keeping qualities make
it one of the most desirable on the list. ‘

Stevens’ Late Champion. A new variety of the Gandy type, yield-
ing large crops of beautiful berries very late in the season. In
New Jersey it is considered one of the finest sorts for late crop.

William Belt: As exceptionally fine berry. In quality it heads
the list. The berries are as large, with some specimens larger
than the Bubach. It is about as productive as the Bubach,
and of nearly the same shape. Its color is a bright, glossy, deep
red; its season as late as Gandy.

PURE CANADA UNLEACHED HARDWOOD ASHES.

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

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 experiments of the laboratory, the fault of
“‘special crop fertilizers’ in which common sense and practical
experience are sacrificed for the sake of theoretical hobbies.

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