STRAWBERRY PLANTS.

All the varieties offered are perfect-flowering (bisexual) except where marked P. The latter
are pistillate and require a row of a_ perfect-flowering sort planted every 8 or 10 feet to
pollen ize their blossom.

These, if planted in July and August, produce a large crop the next summer. Being grown
in pots they may be shipped to a distance and planted with almost no interruption to
their growth. 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 one-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.

POT-GROWN PLANTS. From 2} in. pots, well rooted; delivery in July and
August. Per 100, $3.00; 250, $6.50; 500, $12.50; 1000, $25.00; for
all varieties, cacept where otherwise priced.

FIRST EARLY.

Exeelsior. This is decidedly the best early Strawberry and the earliest good strawberry.
Che fruit is of round conical form, glossy, dark-red color, and of mildly acid flavor.

Fairfield. Mr. Johnson, the introducer, says he has never seen any berry nearly its
equal for earliness, large size, attractive color, quality and firmness.

Sueeess. Large, round, bright searlet, flavor always fine.

St. Louis. <A very productive, early variety, with large berries, similar to Excelsior.
The plant is of vigorous growth and a good sort for the home garden.

Texas. An extra early variety producing immense crops of large, glossy, crimson

berries, which are rich and juicy. The plants appear to thrive in all soils.
Virginia. P. A medium sized berry of recent introduction; flavor excellent ; enormous
yielder. Made a record of 12,000 quarts per acre at its home in the State of Virginia.

SECOND EARLY.

Climax. This is an extremely popular new variety, immensely productive, the berries being
slightly over medium size. Plant vigorous, healthy grower, of a peculiar shade of green that
can be distinguished from other varieties.

Glen Mary. Large, conical, bright red berries; firm and of fine flavor.

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

Senator Dunlap. Mr. Crawford, at the time of its introduction by him, said that {he
doubted if he had ever sent out a berry better than Senator Dunlap. It will keep in fair
condition for several days on the vines after being ripe enough to pick. The fruit is large,
rich and dark red clear to the centre, with a very rich flavor.

MEDIUM.

Barrymore. ‘This new strawberry was awarded a Silver Medal by the Mass. Hort. Society in
1908, for its excellence. The plants are of strong growth and very productive. The conical
shaped berries are of medium size and of a dark, glossy, crimson color; the flesh is a rich red and
very juicy. Per 100, $5.00.

bright red in color, very solid and of excellent flavor.

STRAWBERRIES.— Continued.
MEDIUM.

Brandywine. A large heart-shaped berry, perfect in form, bright red in color, firm flesh, red
to the centre and of rich spicy flavor. A great cropper especially on heavy soils, holds its
fruit well up from the ground and generally succeeds everywhere.

Golden Gate. A strong growing variety bearing rich crimson fruit without green tips and with
quality similar to the Marshall. It blooms early and late, making it a good variety to pollenize
the pistillate sorts.

Mark Hanna. P. An exceedingly prolific variety ripening in midseason. The berries are of
enormous size, attractive in color and of splendid quality. .

Marshall. The fruit of this remarkable sort is of enormous size, of handsome, glossy, dark
crimson color, and of delicious flavor. It is one of the best midseason 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 ascer-
tained.

New York. One of the best sorts for private or market gardens. The berries are large, of
conical form; dark red color, firm texture and of remarkably sweet flavor. In the market they
sell at 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.

LATE TO VERY LATE.

Belmont. This old favorite is still considered by many to be the finest late berry. The
fruit is of handsome appearance and keeps well.

Chesapeake. The 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 conical, 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.

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. Large size, fine appearance,
and remarkable keeping and carrying qualities.

New Home. As Jate and large as Gandy, fruit a bright red color that does not lose 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.

William Belt. An exceptionally fine berry. In quality it heads the list. The berries are
as large, with some specimens larger than the Bubach. Its color is a bright, glossy, deep red;
season as late as Gandy.

Stevens’ Late Champion. A new variety of the Gandy type, yielding large crops of
beautiful berries very late in the season. d

ALPINE VARIETY.
Large Red Alpine. No one who has eaten the delicious little strawberries of the Alps will
ever forget their delicious aromatic flavor. We are now able to offer this large fruited variety
of the Alpine strawberry. Per doz., $1.00

NEW EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY.

Pan-American. A variety of recent introduetion producing berries of fine flavor throughout
the summer and fall. The plant is of compact, vigorous growth, and apparently free from
rust. When late fruit is desired it is better to pinch off the first flowers, and also keep the
runners cut, which will give vigor to the later crop. 20c. each; $2.00 per doz; $14.00 per 100.
Ready August Ist.

ENGLISH VARIETIES. Per dozen, $1.25. Ready August ist. My Tse
British Queen. A popular English variety producing large, conical, pale red berries.
President. The fruit is crimson in color and of superior flavor; good for forcing.
Standard. Very early, small, dark-red berries of fine flavor; forces well. >
Duke of Edinburgh. Late. Fruit irregular, but otherwise similar to British Queen.

POLYANTHUS NARCISSI.

A very decorative class of bulbous plants for green-
house and window cultivation, but not hardy out of
doors in our climate. They produce enormous trusses
of delicately fragrant flowers, varying in color from snowy
white to deep yellow. Treat the bulbs in the same manner
as noted for Hyacinths, except that the bulbs should be
set half an inch deeper in the soil. They may be easily
and quickly forced; our florists frequently have them in
bloom by Thanksgiving.

EARLY ROMAN HYACINTHS.

These beautiful Hyacinths are indispensable to the florist
in his autumn and winter cut-flower work; while to the ama-
teur they are among the most easily cultivated and most satis-
factory of flowering bulbs. The white variety, if planted early
in September and gently forced, will bloom in November; the
others require from two to three weeks longer.

When grown in pots or pans they are most effective planted
in groups of six or more bulbs in each.

and decorative. 50c. per doz.; $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000.

NARCISSI FROM SOUTHERN EUROPE.
LARGE TRUMPET NARCISSI.

These varieties we offer for the first time are grown in Southern
Europe and mature much earlier than the Dutch-grown bulbs.
They can be had in bloom several weeks earlier than bulbs grown
in a colder climate, and are indispensable for early forcing. Last
season we saw several pans of these bulbs in full bloom, the first
week in December. The bulbs are smaller in size than the Dutch,
but produce blooms of equal size. Early orders are requested, as our
supply is limited.

popular N. Princeps, which has always been a favorite forcing
sort. It is very early, of good substance, and keeps well when
cut. The trumpet is of large size and deep yellow; perianth,
pale primrose. 35ce. per doz.; $2.50 per 100; $20.00 per 1000.

yellow color of their blossoms have made the Jonquils favorites
of the amateur and necessities with the florist, They are easily
forced, and if started early, may be flowered by Christmas or even
earlier. Plant six or eight bulbs in a six-inch bulb pan, covering
the crowns half an inch, and treat them in the same manner sug-
gested for hyacinths.

LILIES FOR FORCING.

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 eight inches
or more. They should be transferred then to larger pots in which
to bloom, exercising great care not to disturb the roots or break
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 be-
come feeders, greatly increasing the number and size of the blossoms.
I} Lilies are wanted by mail, add 5 cents each jor postage.

MIDSUMMER CATALOGUE, 1910.

FARQUHAR’S HARDY PERENNIAL FLOWER SEEDS.

Mailed free at catalogue prices to any address in the United States. In ordering it is unnecessary to write
the names—the numbers are sufficient. The minimum charge for seeds by weight is 10 cents. Fractions of an ounce
where not quoted, will be charged at a slight advance over the ounce rates.

Hardy perennials are easily raised from seeds; they may be sown during
the early summer. The simplest method is to sow them in a frame, pro-
tecting 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 twite if necessary to prevent crowding.

ENGLISH AND JAPANESE GARDEN CONSTRUCTION.

Rustic work is now regarded as an indispensable element in natural garden
composition.

Each situation calls for its own particular treatment, and we, therefore, aim to (==
adapt our work to its environment. For this reason, we rarely build two Pergolas ir

or Summer Houses alike.
We are prepared to furnish estimates on contemplated work. In our con- |B
struction we use red cedar, white cedar, black Canadian spruce and laurel.
