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.

changes to vivid red, the mid-rib and vein remaining white. In Massachu-
setts, 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, 50 cts.; dozen, $5.00.

AMPELOPSIS Thomsonii. (Vitis Thomsonii.) This charming new
climber is one of the most beautiful of the Woodbine family. It requires

by the Royal Horticultural Society of London. Each, 50 ets.; dozen, $5.00.

AMPELOPSIS aconitifolius dissecta. A perfectly hardy vine, growing
8 to 10 ft. tall, with elegantly dissected foliage and bright blue fruit; splendid

BERBERIS brevipaniculata. A bush 4 to 6 ft. tall with wedge-shaped
small leaves clustered together and assuming fine tints in autumn. The
small yellow flowers are freely produced on erect panicles 3 to 5 in. long,

foliage is retained very late. Its several fine qualities make this new Bar-

berry one of the handsomest and most distinct of its class. Each, 50 cts.;

dozen, $5.00.

BUDDLEIA asiatiea. “White flowered Winter Lilac.’ An elegant pot plant
suitable for general decorative purposes and cut flowers. Cultural require-

ments, same as those of Chrysanthemum. Blossoms December to March;

FARQUHAR’S RELIABLE VEGETABLE SEEDS.

ARTICHOKE. Artischoke, (GmrR.) Alcachofa, (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, (Gpr.) LEsparrago, (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.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS.
Rosen-Kohl, (GrrR.) Col de Bruselas, (Sp.)

i 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.

CABBAGE. Kopfkohl, (Grr.) Berza, (Sp.)

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 succes-
sion, 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.

CAULIFLOWER}

Blumen Kohl, (GER.)
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 va-
rieties in a hot-bed in February or
March, fine heads can be obtained
in May or June. Fora later supply |f
sow seed in a prepared bed in May,
choosing a cool, moist place. When
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. Sellert, (GER.) Apios, (Sp.)

Sow the seeds in March or April in a hot-bed or cold frame. As soon as the plaats 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- Lees
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.

CUCUMBER. Gurken, (Grr) Pepino, (Sp.)

For very early use, seed may be started in heat and the plants set out in May. Pieces of inverted 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.

DANDELION.
Lowenzahn, (Gur.) Amargon, (Sp.)

Culture. -Used as early spring greens and con-
sidered very healthful. The seed should be sown in
May or June, in drills half an inch deep and 15 inches
apart. The crop will be ready for use next spring.
A moist, heavy soil is preferable. One ounce of seed
is sufficient for 200 feet of drill.

Culture. One of our best salad plants, especially
valuable for winter use. For a first crop, sow about
the middle of April; for succession small sowings may
be made every month until August, when the main
planting is made. Set out the plants 1 foot apart, in
rows 3 feet distant, and when well grown effect blanch-
ing by folding the leaves in their natural position
around the heart, and tying the outer leaves together
by their tips in cone form, which must be done when
quite dry, or they will rot. One ounce of seed for 75
feet of drill.

MUSHROOM. Seta. 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.
[f 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 unifort m quality, prepared by the most successful and
progressive mushroom specialist in England. We import every two or three months to ensure freshness

TISSUE CULTURE PURE SPAWN. Dr. B. M. Duggar, of the University of Missouri, who had charge of the Mushroom Investi-
gations for the United States Department of Agriculture, has developed a method of growing Mushroom Spawn from pure
cultures made from the tissue of the Mushroom. Spawn made by this method has been extensively tested and has been found to
be of quick growth and very prolific. Made in bricks which average about 48 cubic inches.

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 Selected Yellow Globe Danvers (Eastern Grown). The finest type of this favorite American

variety, which is more extensively grown than any other Onion. It is of smooth, globular form, with small neck, consequently

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, 25
eents (by mail 35 cents); 4 quarts, 90 cents; peck, $1.75; bushel, of 20 lbs., $6.00.; 10 bushels, $55.00.

R. & J. Farquhar & Co., Boston, Mass. Weld Garden, Brookline.

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 country, affords
the very best evidence of the high quality, purity and permanence of your Lawn Grasses.
Your Mixtures for various situations and for different parts of the country, I consider especially valuable.

Yours truly,
Duncan Finlayson.

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 work or where a free growing, hard-wearing turf is desired. Sow not less than 80 lbs.
per acre and in many cases 100 lbs. will be an advantage. Price, 35 cents per lb.; by mail, 45 cents. 10 lbs., $3.25; 100 Ibs., $30.00;
25 lbs. and upwards at the 100 lb. rate.

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

quantity sown should not exceed one-half pound per bushel of grass seed. Per Ib., .35; per 100 Ibs., at 30 cents per lb., per 1000 Ibs.,
at 28 cents per lb. Sow 100 lbs. per acre.

GRASSES FOR PERMANENT HAY CROPS AND PASTURES.

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 untilfall. 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 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 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 Ibs. 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.

CLOVERS. Po ie

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.
Lb., .30; bush. (60 Ibs.) $15.00; 100 Ibs., $25.00.

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; bush. (60 Ibs.) $21.00; 100 lbs., $35.00.

MAMMOTH or LARGE RED NORTHERN. Trifolium pratense. On rich,
loamy soils this variety grows nearly twice as large as the Medium Red
Clover and is earlier in starting growth. Lb., .35; bush. (60 lbs.) $18.00;
100 Ibs., $30.00.

RED MEDIUM. Trifolium pratense. The best clover for all practical purposes.
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., .30; bush. (60 lbs.) $17.00; 100 Ibs., $28.00.

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,
nitrogen-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 October. Lhb.,
.25; bush. (60 lbs.) $12.00; 100 lbs., $18.00.

WHITE CLOVER. Trifolium repens. This clover should always be sown on
ermanent or temporary pastures. Will grow on any soil, but especially
adapted to low mead-
ows, 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. Lb., .30; bush. (60 lbs.) $15.00;
100 Ibs., $25.00.

MILLETS.

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, 1 to 13 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. Sow from June to
August, using about 14 bushels to the acre. Bushel, (48 Ibs.) $2.25.

MILLET, COMMON. Panicum Miliacewm. Excellent for forage. Requires
a dry, light rich soil. Height, 2} to4 ft. Bushel (50 lbs.) $2.50.

MILLET, GERMAN or GOLDEN. Panicwm Germanicum. An improved
variety, growing from three to five feet high. Under some circumstances it
will yield more per acre than the preceding. Bushel (50 lbs.) $2.50.

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. Horses often prefer it to Timothy hay. If
sown broadcast it requires from 15 to 20 pounds per acre, or in drills 10 to

by eR 15 pounds to the acre. (Bush., 32 lbs.). Lb., .10; 10 lbs., .75; 100 Ibs.,

Barley, Princess, Two Rowed. IJmported. The seed of this variety is our own direct im-
portation and is considered in Europe to be the type which has reached the highest develop-
ment, both for quality and yield. The grain is of fine texture, medium size and full; color
light yellow with a tendency to white. The Princess Barley having only a moderately stiff
straw thrives best on good, medium land. Sow 2 to 2! bushels per acre. Peck, $1.00; bush.,
(48 lbs.), $3.50; 10 bush., $32.00.

Barley, Two Rowed. Hardy, prolific and early with strong stiff straw. Bushel (48 lbs.),
$2.00; 10 bush., $18.50.

Bean, Early Green Soja. . The best variety for planting in the Northern States, ripen-
ing 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 combin-
ation 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, $1.75; bush., (60 lbs.) $6.00; 10 bush., $55.00.

Broom Corn, Evergreen. This variety produces long, straight brush, very fine and always
remains green. The best sort for brooms. Height, 7 feet. Sow 10 pounds per acre. Price,
Ib., .10; 100 lbs., $8.50.

Buckwheat, Common. Should be sown about the middle of June, broadcast, using 1 bushel
of seed to the acre. Bushel (48 lbs.) $1.85; 10 bush., $17.50.

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.) $2.00; 10 bush., $18.50.
Silver Hull. About one week later in maturing than the Japanese. Grain is of a light gray

color, thin husk; good yielder. Bushel, (48 lbs.) $1.50.

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 .de-
generacy which takes place from the want of this attention. A judicious selection and change can easily
be obtained at moderate prices.

Oats, Abundance. Jmported. A handsome British white Oat, very early and an enormous
cropper. It makes a strong growth of straw, with large well filled heads of heavy grain. The
Oats we offer weigh approximately 48 pounds to the measured bushel, consequently when
compared with the legal bushel of 32 pounds, the cost is very little more than the native Oat.
Sow 2 to 214 bushels to the acre. Bush., (48 Ibs.), $2.50; 10 bush., $23.50.

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 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., $14.00.

Oats, Victory. The seed we offer is imported direct from Sweden, where scientific breed-
ing of grain has been carried on for twenty-five years, supported by the government. This
variety has produced there, the highest yield of all the white oats. The panicle is rather small
and short, but compact and the spikelets usually bi-flowered. Sow 2 to 214 bushels per acre.
Bushel, (48 Ibs.) $3.50; 10 bush., $32.00.

Oats, Black Tartarian. 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 (82 Ibs.) $1.60; 10 bush., $15.00.

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 lbs. to the acre, but will yield much better if drilled about
3 Ibs. 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. .12; 100 Ibs. $10.00.

FARQUHAR’S FARM AND FIELD SEEDS.— Continued.

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, in drills 24 to 30 inches apart. Six to eight lbs. of seed are
required per acre. Price of all varieties, .10 per oz.; .20 per } Ib.; .60 per lb.; 10 Ibs. and
upwards at .55 per lb. If by mail, add .10 per lb. 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.

GOLDEN TANKARD. A greater weight per acre may be obtained from this variety
than from any other large growing sort. It is of excellent shape and of very neat habit.
Flesh bright golden yellow, differing in this respect from all other varieties which cut
white. Rich in saccharine matter and feeding properties.

YELLOW GLOBE. This variety has a very fine top and single tap root, adapted for
growing in shallow soils Skin smooth, good size, and of excellent quality.

RED GLOBE. Very similar to Yellow Globe, but differing in color.

SUGAR BEET.

One of the best paying crops for stock feeding. When fed to milch cows will increase
the flow and quality of the milk. They keep well throughout the winter. They are not
such heavy yielders as Mangel Wurzel, but are of superior quality and rich in saccharine
matter. Price of each variety: Oz., .10; 3 Ib., .15;Ib., 50. If by mail, add .10 per Jb.
extra for postage. 10 Ibs. and upwards, .45 per lb.

popular variety; root conical,
straight, and even; large shoulder,
rapidly tapering to a point. Heavy

ANNUALS.

47

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 cost. For cut flowers, garden beds, either in masses of color or for foliage effects, they furnish

ample material. A few of them like the Asters, Poppies, Sweet Peas, and Nasturtiums are well known and largely used; there

are

however, many beautiful species which we enumerate in the following list, which are seldom seen, and which would be appreciated were

they once grown.

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 simplest 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.

FANCY-LEAVED CALADIUMS.

NEW AND RARE VARIETIES.

Wherever high-class decorations are required during summer, these plants are indispen-
sable. When grown in pots they may be used in the 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 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 cr March, and if inte aded for out-door beds gradually hardened off
before being transferred to the open ground.

FARQUHAR’S RARE LILIES FROM CHINA.

Hardy, Beautiful, Fragrant.—The Finest Novelties Extant.

Lilium Myriophyllum. Mr. E. H. Wilson,
the famous plant collector, collected for us,
the bulbs now offered, in North-Western
China. He considers this the finest of
all lies. It is absolutely hardy, and is ex-
cellent for forcing. It has been predicted
that this will become the Easter Lily of
the future, and being so hardy, may be
grown at home. The flowers are white,
slightly suffused with pink and with a beau-
tiful shade of canary yellow at the centre,
extending part way up the trumpet. It
is delightfully perfumed, reminding one
of the jasmine, and lacking the heavy
oppressive odor of most lilies. Blooms
out of doors early in July. Awarded a
Gold Medal by the Massachusetts Horti-
cultural Society, and a first-class certificate
by the Royal International Exhibition,
London, 1912. $1.50 each; $15.00 per doz.

Lilium Myriophyllum.

Lilium Sargentiae. The bulbs offered were also col-
lected by Mr. Wilson. This is one of the strongest
growing lilies—frequently attaining a height of six to
eight feet. The flowers vary in number from five to
ten ona stalk, and in size and shape resemble Lilium
Harrisii; greenish white, shaded purple on the outside,
and of thepurest white within, with a tint of citron in
the centre. The flowers have a pleasing fragrance. This
lily will undoubtedly be largely used for outdoor plant-
ing as well as for forcing. Many consider it the finest
of all tubular-flowered lilies. It flowers somewhat later
than Lilium myriophyllum, and being of larger growth,
has a distinct place. Awarded a Gold Medal by the

Massachusetts Horticultural Society, 1913.

$1.50 each; $15.00 per doz.

Was awarded a GOLD MEDAL at the International
Flower Show, New York, 1913, for the Best New

Plant on Exhibition. Lilium Sargentie.

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 Auraltum 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 supplid in spring if desired. We recommeud 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 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 green-house assortment, and equally valuable for gar-
den 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, 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 for 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
each; plants at $1.75 and $2.00 per dozen, 20 cents each; plants at $2.50 per dozen, 25 cents each; plants at $3.00 per dozen,

FARQUHAR’S GOLD-MEDAL PONIES.

The Gold Medal of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society was awarded to R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO. for a
Display of Pzonies, June, 1913.

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 Z to 3 mches below the surface. Too deep planting is a frequent cause for shy flowering.

The figure following the name indicates the relative time of flowering.

PULVERIZED SHEEP MANURE.

PURITY BRAND.

A soluble plant food highly recommended for all purposes
-where a first-class fertilizer is required. It is a pure, natural
manure, and has long been recognized as one of the most bene-
ficial. As a top-dressing for lawns it is unequalled. For lawns
it should be used at the rate of 500 to 800 pounds per acre. As
a fertilizing agent for plants indoors and in the open garden, it
is one of the very best. Price, ton, $40.00; half ton, $20,00;

PURE CANADA UNLEACHED HARDWOOD ASHES.

Ashes lack ammonia and phosphoric acid, but contain potash
nd 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 Adapied 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.
