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 
pollenize 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. od el 3

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.

crimson color, and of delicious flavor. It is one of the best midseason berries, either for private 
use or market. It isa vigorous grower and requires good soil and high cultivation. Asit does 
not thrive in all soils, it should not be planted extensively until its adaptability is ascertained.

to be one of the best of the newer introductions. The berries are a beautiful scarlet in color, 
very large and of rich luscious flavor. Very productive. $4.00 per 100.

sell at sight.

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. ot 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. On sandy soils it is unproductive. 

Minute Man. P. A very productive sort, of fine quality. 

Rewastieco. A very productive new variety. The plants are of vigorous growth with an 
abundance of dark green foliage and producing uniformly large berries. Color a rich cardinal 
red penetrating to the centre. $1.50 per doz.; $12.00 per 100.

as large, with some specimens larger than the Bubach. Its color is a bright, glossy, deep red; 
season as late as Gandy. 


FALL-BEARING STRAWBERRIES. 


The Fall-Bearing varieties produce fruit at the same season as the ordinary Strawberries, but keep 
bearing until frost. To get the best results for a late crop, the blossoms must be carefully kept off 
until July, or the plants will completely exhaust themselves before fall. If the runners are kept cut 
during summer it will give additional vigor to the late crop. 

Progressive. ‘This variety was introduced by Mr. Harlow Rockhill and is considered by many 
growers to be one of the best perpetual-bearing strawberries. The fruit is rich and sweet, a 
deep red inside and out; of good medium size and quite firm. Pot-grown Plants. $1.50 
per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 

Superb. ‘The fruit of this variety is medium to large and very attractive. The berries are a 
glossy dark red, aromatic and of excellent quality. Pot-grown Plants. $1.50 per doz.;

glossy-red color. (Ready Aug. Ist.) $1.25 per doz.; $9.00 per 100.

FARQUHAR’S NEW AND RARE PLANTS > 
FROM THE WILDS OF CHINA. 


Collected for the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University by the indefatigable plant 
collector, Mr. E. H. Wilson, in remote and hitherto unexplored regions. 


Gold Medal Awarded by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. 


A 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 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 protec- 
tion 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 protection during 
winter. 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, 50 cts.; 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 for trellises. 
Each, 75 cts.; dozen, $7.50. 


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. These are followed 
by masses of salmon-red fruits in early autumn. The foliage is retained very late. 
Its several fine qualities make this new Barberry one of the handsomest and 
most distinct of its class. Each, 50 ects.; dozen, $5.00. 


BUDDLEIA asiatica. ‘White flowered Winter Lilac.” An elegant pot plant 
suitable for gen- 
eral decorative 
purposes and cut 
flowers. Cultu- 
ral requirements 
same as those of 
Chrysanthemum. 
Blossoms Decem- 
ber to March; 
every shoot termi- 
nating in aslender 
tail of pure white, 
deliciously fra- 
grant flowers. A 
notable acquisi- 
tion. Each, 25 
cts.; dozen, $2.50 

BUDDLEIA offiei- 
nalis. ‘Winter 
Lilac.” An excel- 
lent companion to

minal branched 
tails. Flowering 
season same as that of B. asiatica. Award of Merit, R. H. S., 
London. Each, 25 ects.; dozen, $2.50. 

BUDDLEIA variabilis magnifica. The individual flowers are larger 
than those of Veitchiana, intense violet-purple in color with reflexed 
margins and orange eye. One of the finest acquisitions of recent years. 
A fairly rich soil, sunny position and abundance of water are the 
essentials for the successful culture of ‘“SSwmmer Lilac.’ Each, 50 cts.; 
dozen, $5.00. 

BUDDLEIA variabilis superba. Perhaps the finest of all the Summer 
Lilacs. It has erect arching shoots 5 to 6 ft. tall, and immense tails 

Clematis montana rubens. of rich lilac-colored flowers. Each, 75 cts.; dozen, $7.50.

ily. It forms a large bush or small tree and in spring is covered with racemes of pure 
white flowers which are larger than those of the well-known type. This new plant is 
absolutely hardy and is one of the most notable acquisitions from China in recent years. 
Each, $2.00; dozen, $20.00.

new shrub introductions. They have proved quite hardy and 


among the most attractive fruit-bearing shrubs. Their berries

China during winter. 


Hypericum patulum var. Henryi.

Sorbaria arborea, for garden purposes, it 1s abundantly distinct from 
the type. Each, 75 cts.; dozen, $7.50.

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.

PANSIES. 


Culture of Pansies.— Pansies 
thrive best in a cool, moist, but 
well drained soil, enriched with 
well rotted barnyard manure, or 
fine ground bone. Seeds sown 
in spring in a partially shaded 
situation will produce fine plants 
for autumn flowering. The 
finest blooms are to be obtained, 
. however, by sowing in July or 
} \ugust, giving the plants pro- 
section during winter, when 
d they will bloom profusely in 
the spring and summer.

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 
or Summer Houses alike. 


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

We now make a specialty of this work, furnishing plans and estimates for 
the improvement and planting of private estates and public grounds. We have 
a large assortment (over 100 acres) of the best Hardy Nursery Stock, suitable for 
the Northern States, embracing trees, shrubs, vines and perennial plants. 
We have also competent gardeners in our permanent employ for the carrying 
out of such work. We invite correspondence from those contemplating 


improvement of their estates.
