Farquhar’s Quality Bulbs

Awarded Gold Medal at the Spring Flower Show, Boston, March, 1931

Sl 1882 we have supplied flowering bulbs of the finest quality to a discriminating, critical
clientele. An ever-growing list of customers justifies our policy of selling only the highest grade
bulbs obtainable, at the lowest possible prices commensurate with such quality.

This year bulb prices are much lower—in many cases prices quoted
are actually less than the cost of production. Another year prices are likely
to be considerably higher.

Take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to add to your collection
of bulbs. Right now is your best chance to have that tulip-garden you have
always wanted.

Enter your order now—delivery will be made at planting-time in autumn.

Farquhar’s Giant Darwin Tulips

The Giant Darwins combine immense size with perfection of bloom, and are carried gracefully erect on fine stems 2 to 3 feet tall.
Colors range from purest white to blush, pink, salmon, shades of red, maroon, purple and almost black; recently some very fine yel-
lows have been introduced of which we offer the choicest varieties. Darwins bloom with the columbines in late May and make a

glorious display for several weeks.

! Effective grouped in front of shrubbery and evergreens, or planted in beds or perennial borders.
The bulbs we offer are of the finest quality and will produce magnificent blooms.

Plant them in October or November, 5 to 6

inches deep and 5 to 6 inches apart; a light mulch should be provided after the first hard freeze.
When forcing Darwins indoors, the soil and general treatment recommended for hyacinths may be used. Plant three to five bulbs,
according to size, in a 5-inch pot, or ten to twelve in an 8-inch pan. The varieties marked with an asterisk (*) are best for forcing,

and are equally desirable for outdoor culture.

Farquhar s Specia Rainbow Mixture of S

Single Early Tulips

These well-known favorites are extensively planted where early-flowering effects are desired, and from early April well into
May there is no other flower that can rival the Single Early Tulips in cheerfulness and brilliance of bloom. In the cool of the
early spring they bloom on and on, their lasting qualities being truly remarkable. They are invaluable for forcing or for masses
in large beds of one color or mixture, but they look even better when planted in clumps and small masses against an evergreen
background. Blooming with the narcissi, they add the missing shades of red and pink so lacking in other spring flowers, and thus
provide an interest and variety which could easily be lacking if they were not planted.

Their culture both indoors and out is exactly the same as that suggested for Darwins Tulips, except that the bulbs may be
lifted and dried off two to three weeks sooner, enabling the annuals and other plants which are required for summer bloom to be

planted in time to make a fine start.

Those marked with an asterisk (*) are the best for forcing. The letters A, B, C indicate the relative time of flowering.

Not less than 6 bulbs at dozen rate; 25 at 100 rate; 250 at 1,000 rate.

FARQU HAR’S “TOP-ROOT” HYACINTHS

Culture of Hyacinths

Hyacrntus In Pots.—The soil for bulb-forcing should be a com-
post of ordinary, rich garden loam, well-rotted manure, leaf-mold,
and sand—-if manure is not available substitute Fine Ground Bone.
If bulbs are to be potted singly, standard 5-inch clay pots are the
proper size, or four or five bulbs for an 8-inch bulb-pan. Provide
drainage with pieces of broken pots. Break off any offsets which
may appear at the base of the bulbs and cover with the soil so that
the top of the bulb will be about half an inch below the surface. The
filled pots may be placed in a coldframe or buried in a bed of sifted
ashes and watered occasionally. When well rooted, which should be
in from six to eight weeks, the bulbs may be brought indoors and
forced, keeping fairly cool for two to three weeks, after which they
may be given gentle bottom heat and liquid fertilizer, with plenty
of water, sunshine, and ventilation on mild days.

HYACINTHS IN THE OPEN GROUND.—The bed should be well
spaded and plenty of well-rotted manure or Fine Ground Bone may
be thoroughly worked in. The bulbs may be planted from October to
early December; the early planted bulbs produce the largest flower-
spikes. Set the bulbs at least 6 inches below the surface and about
6 inches apart. Protect during winter with leaves, straw, and pine
boughs.

If wanted by Parcel Post add postage at zone rates;
weight per doz. bulbs, 3 lbs.

weight per dozen bulbs, 10 lbs.

The bulbs may be potted from August onward in a compost. of
equal parts turfy loam, leaf-mold, rotted cow-manure, and sand. It
is best to start them in pots not exceeding twice their own diameter,
in which they may remain until started 8 inches or more. They
should be transferred then to larger pots in which to bloom, exer-
cising great care not to disturb the roots or break away the soil from
about them, and setting them considerably deeper in the larger pots.
This method prevents the soil from becoming sour, and enables the
roots forming at the base of the stem to become feeders, greatly
increasing the number and size of the blossoms.

Special Notice. Many of the late-flowering Lilies cannot be shipped from Japan until October and will be forwarded in
November, or as soon thereafter as they arrive. We advise the preparation of the Lily-beds or borders early in autumn, covering them with
4 to 6 inches of leaves or other litter, to prevent the ground freezing until the bulbs arrive. The late sorts comprise the following: Aura-
tum, Batemannix, Henryi, and Speciosum. Lilium candidum, however, will be shipped on arrival, as it is essential that they should

make an autumn growth to insure perfect blooms the next season.

POT-GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS

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 grow the Strawberry successfully. The soil should be broken up and pulverized by spade-trenching or subsoil-plowing,
enriching with good stable manure to a depth of fully 2 feet, the quantity of manure to be determined by the condition of the soil.
The plants may be set in beds of three rows 1 foot apart and 1 foot distant in the rows, with a space of 214 feet between the outside
rows of adjoining beds left for a pathway. They may also be planted in single rows 3 feet apart and 1 foot apart in the rows.

Vigorous plants will throw out six or more runners in a season. A limited number of these should be allowed to set and form new
plants, but the majority must be hoed out or the bed will rapidly degenerate into a matted, unweedable tangle.

It is a good plan to pull out the old plants after they have borne one good crop and depend upon successive crops from the new
runner plants and their descendants. About every third year a new bed should be planted in order to maintain tidiness and high
quality fruit.

All varieties offered are strong, pot-grown plants; August and September delivery

FARQUHAR’S “SELECT” VARIETIES OF STRAWBERRIES

EARLY VARIETIES

Arabine. Extra early; very large; bright red berries of high
quality; heavy cropper and vigorous grower.

MEDIUM-EARLY VARIETIES, continued

Big Joe. Magnificent variety of robust habit and a prolific
cropper. The mammoth berries are light crimson and of

flavored. Requires a fairly heavy soil.

conical crimson fruit, extremely sweet and of delicious flavor.

HIGH-GRADE FERTILIZERS

All nrices quoted on Fertilizers are net and include delivery to any freight station in Boston. Prices subject to change without notice

Farquhar’s Garden Fertilizer
For Vegetables, Flowers and Fruits

A complete high-grade Fertilizer containing all the food ele-
ments required to increase the fertility of the land. Even if the
soil has received an application of stable manure, a high-grade
commercial Fertilizer should be applied in conjunction, thereby
furnishing the land with the necessary potash and phosphoric
acid. It is generally best to apply all or most of the Fertilizer
broadcast and thoroughly work it into the soil before planting.
When planting beans, corn, cucumbers, etc., in hills, a handful
of fertilizer should be worked into the soil under the hill, so as to
avoid direct contact with the seed. The same method of appli-
cation may be used with cabbages, and other transplanted vege-
tables; also dahlias, peonies, irises, etc. When top-dressing trees,
shrubs, roses, etc., the ground should be whitened and then raked.
Before sowing seeds in rows, a little garden fertilizer may be
scattered in the drill and worked into the soil before planting.
Use, for drills, 2 to 3 lbs. per 100 running feet, or 10 pounds for
a plot 15 x 20 feet (300 square feet), 1,000 to 1,500 lbs. per acre.
10 Ibs. 85c.; 25 Ibs. $1.50; 50 Ibs. $2.50; 100 lbs. $4.00; 500 lbs.
$17.00; ton $60.00.

Adco. For making artificial manure. This manure is made by
stacking straw, leaves, and other vegetable waste, layer by
layer, mixing it with Adco, and keeping it wet until well rotted.
The process is very simple, the manure can be made in your
own garden. Directions with each shipment. A 25-pownd
bag is enough for about 12 wheelbarrow loads of garden waste,
making about one-half ton of manure; 150-pound bag makes
about three tons of manure. 25-lb. bag $2.00; special 150-lb.
bag $10.50.

Acid Phosphate. High grade; 16 per cent A. P. A. For top-
dressing and mixing with other fertilizers. 100 lbs. $2.00; ton
$32.00.

Ammonium Sulphate (Sulphate of Ammonia). A nitro-
genous plant stimulant, very quick in action and tending to
make soil acid, also increasing leaf-growth. For top-dressing
lawns, apply 1 ounce per square yard, or 350 pounds per acre.
As a liquid stimulant for plants, dissolve 1 ounce in a gallon of
water and apply to the roots. 10 lbs. $1.00; 25 lbs. $1.50;
100 lbs. $5.00.

Ashes, Canada Hardwood. Ashes lack ammonia and phos-
phoric 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 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
many insects and weeds, particularly moss; also for fruit of all
kinds, especially strawberries, peaches, and apples. 100-lb.
bag $2.75; ton $45.00.

Bone, Fine Ground(Bonemeal). Recommended for the garden
and for lawns. It is quick to give results and the benefits are
lasting. For top-dressing lawns, use from 250 to 600 pounds
per acre or 2 to 3 ounces per square yard; for cultivated crops,
as high as 1,500 pounds per acre can be used. Mixed with
Hardwood Ashes in equal parts and applied at the rate of 800
pounds of the mixture per acre will give marvelous returns on
grass-land. 10 Ibs. 85c.; 25 lbs. $1.50; 50 Ibs. $2.25; 100 lbs.
$3.50; ton $60.00.

Bone, Coarse or Inch. The very best fertilizer for grape-vines,
fruit trees, shrubs, and trees of all kinds. The pieces of bone
vary from 14 to 1 inch in size. Should be used at setting out
zed with the soil to the depth of a foot or more. 100 lbs.
$6.00.

- Cattle Manure, Shredded. A coarse, shredded manure, dried

and sterilized, useful for all general purposes and especially
valuable for top-dressing or composting. About 400 pounds
of this dried material may be considered equal in value to
approximately one ton of fresh cow-manure. 100 lbs. $3.25;
ton $55.00.

Loma. The perfect plant-food. A concentrated, high-quality
fertilizer, scientifically prepared for lawns, shrubs, trees,
flowers, and vegetables. 5 lbs. 50c.; 10 lbs. 85c.; 25 Ibs. $1.75;
50 lbs. $3.25; 100 Ibs. $6.00.

best plant-food elements of any of the prepared manures now

tables, 1,000 to 1,200 Ibs. per acre; Old Lawns, 3 to 5 Ibs. per

ton $60.00.

Granulated Peat Moss. (/mported.) For top-dressing lawns,
mixing with soil in the greenhouse or outdoors where humus
is required, and for mulching plants. Trial size, $1.50; large
bale, $4.00; 10 bales, $35.00, f.0.b. Boston.

Muriate of Potash. 50°% Actual Potash. The most economical
form of potash and the most generally used in farm practice.
10 lbs. 75c.; 100 Ibs. $4.00.

Nitrate of Soda. (Reground.) 15.22% Nitrogen equal to
18.50% Ammonia. A plant stimulant that adds nitrogen in a
form which is immediately available to the plants. It forces a
heavy growth on leaf vegetables and should be used sparingly
and with great care—not more than 1 ounce per square yard.
As a liquid fertilizer, one ounce may be dissolved in 2 gallons
of water. 10 lbs. 85c.; 25 lbs. $1.75; 50 Ibs. $3.00; 100 lbs. $5.00;
ton $75.00.

Scotch Soot. A fertilizer and fungicide. One of the best reme-
dies and preventives for mildew, when mixed with sulphur at
the rate of two-thirds soot and one-third sulphur. As a ferti-
lizer it promotes growth and heightens color of foliage and
flower. Sold only in original bags of about 100 Ibs. at 7c. per
Ib. By freight only.

Sheep-Manure

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 unequaled. 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. 5 Ibs. 40c.; 10 Ibs. 70c.; 25 Ibs. $1.35;
50 Ibs. $2.00; 100 Ibs. $3.25; ton $55.00.

Sulphate of Potash. 48% Actual Potash. Valuable for root-
and grain-crops but on account of its strength it must be used
with great care. Apply 100 to 125 pounds per acre, usually
with other fertilizers. 10 Ibs. 85c.; 25 lbs. $1.50; 100 lbs. $4.75.

Tankage, Blood. 12% Ammonia. Blood Tankage is valuable in
greenhouse or outdoors to heighten color of blooms and
foliage. 100 lbs. $7.00.

Tankage, Fine Ground. 9% Ammonia; 20% Bone Phosphate
of Lime. 100 Ibs. $4.00.

Vigoro. A superior combination of plant-foods that meets na-
ture’s most exacting requirements. When Vigoro is used, no
supplementary substances are required. If applied to plants
grown on benches or in pots, 1t should be worked into the soil
and the plants then watered. For top-dressing the lawn in
spring, use 50 lbs. for a lot 30 x 125 ft. 25 Ibs. $2.00; 50 Ibs.
$3.75; 100 Ibs. $6.00.
