NEW EARLY DUTCH HYACINTHS FOR FORCINC.

We desire to call your special attention to a
new variety of Dutch Hyacinths, to take the place
of Romans, producing spikes about the same size
but having the advantage over them of color and
better form. .

The leading florists of Holland and Germany
gave these hyacinths a fair test with the Romans
By last winter, and were perfectly astonished at the

% result and have placed large orders for them this
season.

Every florist being alive to the interests of his
trade will give them a good fair trial, as they can
be forced to come in about January Ist, a time that
cut flowers can always command good prices.

These hyacinths will be found a good acquisition
for house culture as they come into flower earlier
l& than the /arge oes, and about the same time as

Zany. the old favorite White Romans.

» They can be had in the following colors: White,
v4 Blush White, Pink, Rose, Crimson, Dark Blue,
Light Blue, and Yellow.

Per doz., 50c.; per 100, $3.00.

hoe. Culture and Treatment of
the fyacinth.

Among Dutch bulbs, the Hyacinth
takes first place; its beauty, fragrance,
and easy cultivation making it a general
favorite in the garden, as well as in the
house, for winter flowering. Nothing
can be more delightful than to grow
these lovely flowers in the parlor, and
to watch day by day their attaining
to perfection, when the flowers without
| have disappeared, and everything looks
bleak and dead in the garden. The
Hyacinth ‘grows freely in almost any
medium which retains moisture, and will
produce fine flowers when grown in sand,
moss, or water. It may be planted for
a succession of winter bloom from the
middle of September till January.

(ES

SS
CULTURE !N WATER.

Single Hyacinths are more generally used for growing in glasses as they produce finer
spikes of bloom than the double, and we recommend only the best named bulbs for this pur-
pose; dark colored glasses are the best. Fill the glass with rain or other soft water tillit
reaches the base of the bulb, ‘70 more”; covering the bulb half over with water often causes it
to decay. They should then be placed in a dark, cool situation till the roots have nearly touched
the bottom of the glass, when they may be brought gradually to the light, afterwards giving
them plenty of light and air, but avoid all draughts. Examine them occasionally, and remove
any decaying matter, but be careful not to injure the young roots. Change the water whenever
it becomes impure, and keep the glasses full, so that it may always touch the bulb. When
changing the water be careful to add a little warm to render it the same temperature as that
in which the bulbs have been growing. When the flowers begin to unfold sprinkle them every
day with a fine spray of water, which will make them keep longer fresh, and bloom more
handsomely; do not place near a hot stove, and if possible grow in a room where little gas is
burnt. It is of the utmost importance in growing hyacinths in the parlor that the atmosphere
in which the plants are growing be kept moist. Put a small lump of charcoal into the water;
it assists in keeping the water pure.

CULTURE IN MOSS.

Any vessel will do for this purpose. The moss should be cleaned, and a layer laid
on the bottom of the vessel; then place the bulbs, and cover with another coat of best colored
moss, and moisten the whole, which must be repeated at least two or three times a week.

CULTURE IN SAND.

Any ornamental dish is suitable. Fill with silver sand in the shape of a pyramid. In
the centre place a hyacinth, and at equal distance round the side; three or more, according to
size of vessel, filling up the spaces with snowdrops, crocus, jonquils, scillas, or a mixture of

all. This, when in flower, is simply one beautiful, growing bouquet. In planting, push the
bulbs well into the sand, allowing the top alone to be seen. The vessel should then be im-
mersed in water for five minutes. The bath should be repeated once or twice a week.
Never allow the sand tobecome dry. Place in the dark for a‘few weeks, and afterwards in an
airy, cool room, with good light.

CULTURE IN POTS.

This is by far the most important way of cultivating and developing its beauties. At any
time during their growth, the plants can be removed from the pots, and arranged in hanging
baskets, vases, moss, or in any position where it is possible to supply them with moisture.
For potting, we recommend rich soil, — say, one-third clean sand, one-third well-rotted cow
manure, and one-third common garden-mould, thoroughly mixed. Bulbs should be planted so
that nothing but the top can be seen, well watered, and placed in the cellar or dry out-house,
and covered to a depth of six inches with ashes, old tan-bark, or decayed leaves. In about
eight weeks the pots will be filled with roots: then they can be gradually removed to the
light. If very early flowering is desired, the plants may be removed to a forcing-pit, where a
mild bottom heat can be given to the plunged pots. Here the plants should be shaded till
the leaves receive their proper color, and have become hardened. When hyacinths or other
bulbs are in bloom, they will last much longer if kept in a cool situation.

CULTURE IN THE GARDEN.

For outdoor bedding, hyacinths should be planted during October and November, in soil
similar to that recommended for potting. Place about five inches deep, six to eight inches
apart, and eight to ten inches between the lines. Before frost sets in, it is well to cover the
beds with leaves, which should be raked off early in the spring, so that the tiny shoots which
appear early may not be injured.

TREATMENT AFTER BLOOMING.

As soon as flowers disappear, and leaves assume a yellowish appearance, take up the
bulbs, cut off the stems and leaves to within an inch of the bulb, and spread in an airy room
to dry; after which they may be kept in a dry closet or box till wanted again in the autumn for
planting. Bulbs grown in glasses are generally
so much weakened that they do not grow well
in water the second season. They should be planted
in pots, or out of doors, for three or four years

EARLY WHITE ROMAN HYACINTHS,

This is a miniature variety of the Hyacinth, which
is extensively used by florists, as they are the earliest
for forcing. The flowers, which are smaller than the
ordinary Hyacinth, are produced in great profusion,
each bulb throwing up two or three spikes of deli-
ciously fragrant, pure white flowers. By successive
planting may be had in bloom from October to
Christmas. They show to better advantage if four
or six bulbs are planted in a pot.

The Crocus, coming as it does
at a time when there are no other
flowers out of doors, is sure to
secure a welcome. A little warm
sunshine during the last days of
March and first of April is sufficient
to encourage these beautiful flowers
to put inan appearance, even before
the snow is fairly gone. For bor-
ders or masses their bright and : Ss Z
handsome colors are very attrac- SSS NLS ZS
tive. Early autumn is the time to wa We
plant. A slight covering of straw
or leaves should be put on the beds,
to prevent the frost from throwing
the bulbs out ofthe ground. Plant
three inches deep and three inches
apart. For house-culture the Cro-
cus is well adapted, producing flowers freely, if grown in moss, sand, or pots.

SNOMWDROPS.

The Snowdrop is the first of all flowers to herald the approach of spring. They flourish
well in any soil, and bloom best if not transplanted oftener than once every three years. Being

SINGLE EARLY TULIPS.

Tulips are perfectly hardy, and of easy
culture either within doors or in the open
air. While they will thrive in almost any
soil, that best adapted to their cultivation is
a dry, sandy loam, fertilized with well-rot-
ted cow-manure. They may be planted any
time from early in September till December
if the weather is favorable. The two classes
of tulips, early and late, are subdivided into
the Single and Double Tulips. All the
single, and the early double varieties are
recommended for forcing. The Duc van
Tholl varieties are the favorites for house- \
culture, as they bloom early, have very
bright colors, and will do well in sand,

FREESIA REFRACTA ALBA ODORATA.

THESE plants are grown from bulbs, and for the past few winters have produced some of
the most beautiful and fragrant flowers ever offered by our florists. The flowers are very
handsome, tube-shaped, pure white, blotched with yellow, and borne on a slender stem about
twenty inches in height, with narrow
foliage. They are peculiarly graceful,
and emit a fine perfume for a long time
after cutting. The bulbs are rather
small and irregular in form, and should
be potted in 4 to 6inch pots, four or
more bulbs in a pot, from August to
November, in any good soil of a sandy
texture, to get well started for winter
blooming. Their treatment is simple,
and about the same as other small
bulbs. For house culture they are
particularly pleasing plants to grow,
and should receive early attention in
their planting.

STRAWBERRY PLANTS.
THE CULTIVATION OF THE STRAWBERRY.

We consider the following the best system for cultivating

the strawberry.
B Set your plants about one foot apart in the rows, and the
rows three feet apart (it would take about 15,000 plants
Fr per acre at this distance), and allow them to make runners
' to fill up a space of about 12 to 14 inches wide; that would
give you a space about 22 inches wide for a path.

It is claimed that one can get 2,000 quarts more fruit off

the same ground grown in these narrow rows than by al-
M lowing them to run all over the ground, and the fruit of
ed better quality.
/ GB They should have from 15 to 20 cords stable manure per
acre, or one ton of ground bone, $+ ton muriate of potash,
N and 400 lbs. nitrate of soda, to be thoroughly worked into
the soil.
In field culture, they should be worked once a week with
cultivator, and gone over by hand once in two weeks; care
should be taken after runners start, to work cultivator al-
ways the same way, to prevent breaking runners.

They should be mulched in fall after ground is frozen, to protect from thawing and freez-
ing during the winter, and part of the mulch should remain during the fruiting season.

Any good corn land will raise strawberries, if properly fertilized.

For garden culture, set plants one foot apart in the row, and the rows two feet apart;
keep the runners cut off and otherwise carry out the instructions given above.

POT-GROWN PLANTS.

Those who want strawberries in perfection
next season, and have neglected setting them
in the spring, should now put in pot-grown
plants. They can be set any time desired, in \ a
hot and dry weather, with scarcely the loss"@ggyy¥
of a plant. Wes

They are properly packed for shipment so
as not to disturb the roots.

We offer, this season, a large variety of well grown potted plants, of the best and most
popular kinds in cultivation, ready for shipping August to October.

Layer plants will make very little growth this year, and therefore lose one season before
you can securea good crop of fruit.

We have all the leading varieties of layer plants ready for shipment September to October.

THE BELMONT istheleading strawberry. It has proved a successful berry in all kinds
of soil, and in all climates where strawberries are grown. Plants were sold and sent to all
parts of the United States, and the testimonials to date show the results to be most favorable
in all quarters. It may not be quite as productive as some other varieties, but the keeping
quality with the general excellence of the fruit make it one of the most valuable, especially
for home use.

COREOPSIS LANCEOLATA (‘ The Perennial Golden Coreopsis.”’)

We have the exclusive sale of this plant for Boston.

We have great pleasure in offering this valua-
ble hardy Coreopsis, which is destined to have
a wide and well deserved popularity.

The annual varieties are well known to all
lovers of flowers, and for their ease of culture,
good blooming qualities and clean growth are
universal favorites.

The variety which we offer being a perennial,
at once recommends itself, requiring as it does
but one purchase of the plants to have them
always in the garden from year to year with
little or no care. Each plant is of clean up-
right habit, bearing the flowers clear from the
ground, and is of itself handsome, with its
clear green lance-linear leaves.

The flowers are two to three inches in diame-
ter, of a clear golden yellow, borne at the end
of a long straight stem five to ten inches long,
which at once recommends it as a valuable flor-
ist flower, and desirable for cutting.

The plant commences to bloom about the
first week in June, being at once covered witha
wealth of flowers and continuing in full bioom
until hard frost; by cutting the flowers as they
mature, the number of blossoms will be greatly

ee ee increased.
.£#og2, SE It will prove a most valuable acquisition for
AME iy ESS zi te bedding in masses or planting singly in mixed
Paces ici ll ANS ge-2 io borders or among shrubbery, in any of which

situations it will form a conspicuous and lasting
ornament.

ee Its uses as a florist flower is freely
acknowledged, and all alive to their trade will see that they obtain a stock as soon as possible.
It can be forced into early bloom, and is adapted toany soil. Strong Plants 25c. ea.; $2.50 doz.

SYRINGA JAPONICA.— THE TREE, OR GIANT LILAC.
An aston’shing species of lilac, found in the most northern corner of Japan, which makes
a large tree znd produces clusters of white blossoms, sometimes of the enormous size of
twenty-four by sixteen inches. (See description of this tree by Prof. C. S. Sargent, in July,
1886, of Gardener’s monthly.) The foliage is thick and glossy, often sixinches wide and eight
inches long. Very rare, and perfectly hardy. Some specimens are now twenty feet high.
Two years, pot grown, $1.50 to $2.50.

PYRUS MALUS PARKMANII.—THE TEA-ROSE CRAB.

This is the famous little tree now so much in demand for the splendid beauty of its buds
and blossoms. The buds are like small carmine tea-roses, and the blossoms are double, and
of a lovely light carmine color. The very long and slender stems bend gracefully under the
weight of the buds and blossoms, and the profusion of these is such as to completely cover
the tree, even to the tips of the last year’s growth. No Hawthorn or Magnolia is so surpass-
ingly lovely in bioom as this new tree. Price, 1 yr., 50 Cts.; 2 yrs., 75 Cts.; 3 yrs., $1.00.

CORNUS FLORIDA RUBRA.
A form of our beautiful native flowering dogwood, having its blossoms richly suffused
with bright red.
This is not slightly pink, as so many of those in the woods are, but deep and bright red
and of splendid appearance. A most desirable tree. Price, $2.00.

SYRINGA PEKINENSIS PENDULA.—“ New Flowering Weeping Lilac.”

“The most beautiful of all our small weeping trees,” said Mr. Sam’! B. Parsons, at the
Exhibition of the Am. Pom. Society at Boston last September, when the first specimens of
this charming little tree were exhibited.

As round as a weeping willow, and far more graceful in flowing outlines, and decked with
clusters of white blossoms having the odor of honey. Price, $5.00.

ROSES.

No garden, however small, is
complete without Roses. The
Rose stands, as it has for years,
“Queen of the Flowers;” with a
proper selection of kinds, we can
have cur roscs from June till
heavy frosts come with withering
touch.

Every year adds a large num-
ber cf varieties to our lists, new
at ieast in name if not in char-
acter; and it shall be our special
endeavor, after careful compar-
isons, to point out such of them
as show a decided improvement ~
in their leading characteristics
over pre-existing varieties.

The following brief hints may
be of service to the inexperienced.

, / Do; =>
G2 vi Wy : ‘i NS
iS sae Sie

The Tea scented, and others that are pot grown, should not be planted till all danger of
spring frosts is over.

SOIL. The most suitable soil is a strong, rich
loam, mixed with about one quarter its bulk of well-
decomposed stable manure. It is necessary that the
ground be dug at least a foot and a half deep.

It may safely be laid down as a rule, that it is
impossible to make the soil too rich for the rose.

During the growing season frequent watering of
liquid manure, made either of cow manure or guano.
This stimulant will keep the plants vigorous and healthy,
and will amply repay the attention in size and quality of
blossom. In using it avoid as much as possible getting
it upon the foliage, especially when the plants are in
bloom.

SITUATION. The best situation for the rose is
an eastern or northern exposure ; if slightly shaded from
tae intense heat of midday, the bloom will be more per-
fect and continuons.

PRUNING. The hardy sorts may be pruned in
March or April, the tender varieties should be left till a
month later.

Close pruning will produce quality, and long prun-
ing quantity of bloom.

Climbing roses need comparatively little pruning,
the tips only of the shoots require to be taken off, and.
auy weak and unripe shoots cut out altogether.

A SOFT, VELVETY LAWN CAN BE OBTAINED BY SOWING

Parker & Weod’s Basten Lawn Seed.

Sow anytime during September and October. Seed sown in spring is apt to be in-
jured by hot weather before it attains to any maturity, while autumn-sown seed reaps the full
benefit of the genial growing season, to which all nature responds, after the scorching heats
of summer have passed.

In forming a new lawn it is necessary, if the top soil be not good, to remove it to a depth
of six inches, and fill in with good loam. Harrow, and roll smooth and firm.

A carefully prepared mixture of extra-clean natural grasses, such as we Offer, is the best
to seed with. Sow very thickly,—say, at the rate of four bushels per acre. When the young
grass is about six inches high, it should be clipped, but not very closely, and about once in ten
days thereafter during the season. In very dry weather a thorough watering should be
frequently given.

Autumn is also the besttime to renovate old lawns. The bare spots should be well raked,
the seed sown and rolled in. Two bushels per acre is the necessary quantity for this purpose,
and should be evenly scattered over all thin spots, before rain, if possible.

In the fall or early spring some good fertilizer should be applied as a top dressing.

Parker & Wood’s Boston Lawn Seed. Price, per quart, 25 cents; 4 quarts, 75 cents;
peck, $1.00 ; bushel of 16 pounds, $4.00.

Use the Following Quantities of Seed in making New Lawns.

1 quart will sow 300 square feet; 1 peck will sow 2,400 square feet; 1 bushel will sow 10,000 square feet; 4
bushels will sow 1 acre of 43,650 square feet.

THE IMPROVED

Blanchard Ash Sifter.

It is anew and most excellent thing, much
improved from last season. You have only
to lift the lid, empty your ashes into the
sifter, shut the cover, and, before you can
set your empty hod down, your ashes will
be found in one drawer, and the coal in
another, perfectly separated.

It is instantaneous, automatic, simple,
convenient, durable, economical, and
cheap. It has no crank to turn, or rod to
shake. It takes up no more room than a
barrel.

HAVENS’ CLIMAX CONDITION POWDER,

The Only Positive Preventive and Cure for Gapes and Poultry Cholera,

AND THE BEST MEDICINE FOR

HORSES, CATTLE, POULTRY, SHEEP AND HOCS.

AFTER USING.

One package of HavENs’ CLIMAX CONDITION POWDER saved for me a flock of Wyandotte
chicks worth twenty-five dollars. L.C. WILLIAMS, Postmaster, Middlesex, Yates Co.,
N. Y., and member of the Board of Supervisors of Yates Co.

I lost over one hundred eines worth of chickens
and turkeys by cholera last winter. Inavery few days FOW L- ¢ H (@) L E RA
after beginning to use Havens’ CLimax CONDITION
PowDER the disease disappeared. I believe if I had not used it [ wouid have lost every fowl I had.
JOHN SPERLING, New Brunswick, N. J.
I had a very fine black Cochin with Roup inits worst form. I was advised bya fancier to
cut off his head, but the next day I began to experiment on him with Havens’ CLIMAx
CONDITION POWDER. I gave him about one teaspoonful three times a day, and to my great
surprise he began to improve, and got entirely well. He had itso bad that he lost the cibs of one eye. It wasa
permanent cure. P. V. THOMPSON, Freehold, N. J.

NotEe.—We do not claim to cure Heaves, but the following, from a farmer neighbor, shows that heavey horses
can be made very serviceable:

I had a horse with the Heaves so bad that if I had not needed to use him very
much I would have wished him todie. Your HAVENs’ CLIMAx CONDITION POWDER
was recommended to me for him, and although I gave him only part of a package
he works now as well as ever. His appetite is good, and I use him now for plowi ing and driving. He is as useful
now as he ever was. WM. H. PLUMLEY, ‘East New Brunsw ick, N. J.
