Collected for the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University by the indefatigable plant collector, Mr. E. H. Wilson, in remote and hitherto unex- plored regions. Gold Medal Awarded by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. PLANTS READY FOR DELIVERY IN APRIL. NUMBER of these plants were offered by us last year for the first time. We now offer for the first time another group of these plant treasures. They are attracting universal interest, many orders coming from Europe, Japan and other distant parts of the globe. They are unquestionably the finest plant novelties extant. AMPELOPSIS Henryana. (Vitis Henryana.) 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 appearance in autumn when the ground color changes to vivid red, the mid-rib and vein 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.

Farquhar’s Perfection Forcing Cucumber. CUCUMBER. Gurken, (GER.) Pepino, (Sp.) 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. Farquhar’ s Perfection Forcing. The finest type of White Spine Cucumber in culti- vation, and one of the most prolific varieties. The fruits are large and symmetrical in shape, and of a rich dark green color, which is permanent. The flesh is pure white, firm and crisp, with comparatively few seeds, and is unsurpassed for quality. This is an ideal forcing variety and succeeds equally well when planted out of doors.

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 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 gak lons. One pound of Farquhar’s English Milltrack Mushroom spawn is sufficient for six square feet of bed. MUSHROOM SPAWN. Farquhar’s English Milltraek.

FARQUHAR & CO., BOSTON. VEGETABLE SEEDS. ONION. Zwicbel, (Gur.) Cebolla, (SP.) The Onion had been cultivated as an article of food from the earliest times, and i8 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.
