ALL FLOWERS GUARANTEED FRESH. ——— + eee ° crease in the trade, we were not only the first in our city-to build greenhouses especially and exclusively for the cultivation of plants to supply cut-flowers only, but we have unremittingly kept in view the requirements of the trade and the demands of our patrons, and have from time to time made additions to our greenhouses, and, in every way suggested to us, increased our facilities for producing and handling large quantities of flowers, so that to-day we are justified in saying we have the most extensive range of greenhouses for the production of cut- flowers and the best equipped store, exclusively devoted to this special trade, in the Northwest. Further- more, it has always been our aim not only to supply such flowers as are popular and in demand, but also to introduce every new thing suitable to the trade and worthy of attention. WE ARE NOW IN A POSITION TO SUPPLY EVERY DEMAND. — It must be evident that the product of any one florist’s establishment is more or less limited, and that it would be at least impracticable to grow such quantites of flowers as might at certain times be in demand, flowers being such perishable articles they cannot be kept fresh beyond a day or two. However, by special arrangements and contracts we now have with several of the large wholesale flower growers, easily accessible, men who make a specialty of growing flowers to supply dealers such as ourselves, we NOW have at command almost unlimited quantities of the very choicest flowers at all seasons, for in addition to the large quantities we ourselves produce, we receive daily shipments from these establishments under contract with us, the supply being limited only by our demands. WE NEVER FAIL TO FILL AN ORDER ie sufficient time is allowed us. Generally a very short time suflices, although for our own and our customers’ sake we desire all the time the circumstances will permit; we are thereby - better enabled to do full justice to the order.

CURRIE BROS., Seedsmen and Florists, ‘°° "Sst St.e.212 Broatway, fader Jo Uighaat % GARDEN AND FARM. SPRING NUMBER, 1892. TS) (QUT (iee/A [es |e) Gree ee UR numerous customers, who deal regularly with us, and now know us so well, may deem the following remarks entirely superfluous, since they are mainly what we have repeated annually for a number of years, We do not wish to be credited with egotism, but since our “ Guide” is every year materially increased in numbers in both issues—Spring and Fall—and as a matter of course falls into the hands of many readers who, perhaps, know no more of us than what they have learned from a brief advertisement, we consider it our duty, for their benefit as well as our own, to acquaint them of our business, and our facilities and capabilities for conducting it. OUR BUSINESS BRIEFLY OUTLINED.—The simple statement that we are Seedsmen and Florists might be sufficient, yet, as it applies to the business we conduct, it is, we fancy, scarcely explanatory enough. As Seedsmen WE GROW AND [INTRODUCE NEARLY ALL THE NOVELTIES WE OFFER, and: large quantities of other seeds we deal in are either grown by or especially for us. OUR SEED STORE, at 312 Broadway, a commodious building of four floors, is stocked not only with seeds of all kinds, but also with fertilizers, tools, implements ; everything, in fact, for the farm and garden. We are also agents for all kinds of heavy farm implements and machinery. SEEDS FOR THE GARDEN AND FARM of every Grain, Vegetable and Ornmental Plant, worthy of culture in our climate, we keep in stock in sufficient quantity to supply every demand. NOVELTIES, as we have stated, are either of our own introduction, or are obtained direct from the originators ; but we are always very cautious of cataloguing anything until we are satisfied it possesses some real merit. SEEDS BEARING OUR NAME are those which we have introduced, and are really of a very superior char- acter, all of them having been thoroughly tested before being put on the market. They are exclusively held and con- trolled by ourselves. SEEDS TRUE TO NAME.—We use every precaution our experience can devise to have all seeds true to name, and we never, under any circumstances, substitute one seed for another, and cal it by any other than its true name. SEEDS ARE TESTED, A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE OF GREAT VALUE TO OUR CUSTOM- ERS AND OURSELVES.—Our greenhouses and gardens afford us every facility to test seeds, and none are allowed to leave our establishment until we are satisfied that they are absolutely of the very best quality, possessing the greatest possible vitality. THE VALUE OF GOOD SEEDS.—The successful gardener can never be persuaded to buy anything but the very best seed, and that, too, of the very best varieties of the kinds of vegetables he wishes to grow, no matter what it costs. He is, therefore, very particular about where and of whom he buys his seeds. As gardeners and florists, being born in the business, we early learned the value of a good seed and the utter worthlessness of a bad one. As seedsmen, therefore, of nearly seventeen years’ standing, we are enabled to appreciate the importance of dealing only in good seeds, so that our customers shall get just what we would be anxious to secure were we the buyers instead of the sellers. We never sow a seed of doubtful quality except to test it, and we never sell a seed unless we have the utmost con- fidence in it, knowing it to be of the very best quality, having within it the germ of a first-class plant. And although we are under the necessity of having many of our seeds grown for us, we are very careful to employ only the most experienced and most reliable seed-growers engaged in that profession ; and furthermore, on no consideration do we purchase a seed of a grower whose reputation is at all doubtful. WH MUST HAVE THE VERY BEST SEEDS, AND WH USE EVERY PRECAUTION TO SECURE THEM. OUR SEEDS, therefore, are the very best, and we know them to be absolutely pure and of the very finest grades. THE VARIETIES WE OFFER of grains, vegetables and plants are the best introduced, all the best and only the best. The market gardener and farmer cannot afford to grow anything but the best, and the private gar- dener has no satisfaction in anything, however slightly inferior it may be. We are, therefore, very ‘particular i in making our selection of varieties. Currie Bros.’ Hortieultural quide. DO WE WARRANT SEEDS ?—While we guarantee all our seeds to be of the very best quality, and from the finest stocks, and certain to grow under favorable conditions, yet, as there are so many circumstances, most of them quite beyond human control, which may cause the utter failure of seeds of even the greatest vitality, we are compelled, in justice to ourselves, and to avoid possible complications, to impress most explicitly and emphatically upon our customers that we do not guarantee our seeds to grow, neither do we in any sense hold our- selves responsible for the failure of any crop. We wish it clearly understood that in these respects our seeds are sold without any warranty, expressed or implied. Experienced gardeners and farmers fully understand the many adverse circumstances which may result in the failure of seeds to germinate, or cause their total destruction even after they have passed that critical stage. It may be drought or too much moisture, a too low temperature of soil or atmosphere, a too loose or too compact soil, or improper _ treatment, owing to carelessness or lack of knowledge, which may cause the failure of seeds to germinate; or during _ germination, when the young plants are so small and delicate that even a sudden change of temperature, or a blast of cold or hot and dry wind, to say nothing of the ravages of the numerous insect enemies, may at any moment totally destroy them, and the crop is lost. It will be readily seen that the seedsman is powerless under all of the circumstan- ces to avert failure; but knowing how apt beginners especially are to charge him with selling bad seeds, he, as in our case, adopts the precautionary measure we have mentioned. WE WARRANT the safe arrival of seeds. In the event of the non-arrival of packages, or their receipt in bad condition, if notice is sent us within two weeks after date of shipment, we will cheerfully replace the same. WE WARRANT REASONABLE PRICES.— First-class goods at reasonable prices is our motto. We invite comparison of our prices with those of any reliable seedsmen in the United States, and we are confi- ‘dent ours will be found as low as any. R2member that reliable seeds cannot be bought as cheaply as those of an inferior quality, and we do not deal in any of a doubtful character. THIS SEASON’S STOCK, we are very pleased to say, is of a very superior quality. The seeds of all kinds of grains, vegetables and flowers are thoroughly matured, and are, from appearances and the tests they have been subjected to, full of vitality and great vigor. They are exceptionally clean and are, in fact, of a more than ordinary high grade. All roots, too, are very fine. POTATOES, of which we have a large stock of all the leading kinds, and several NEW VARIETIES, are EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD. We have, therefore, great satisfaction in offering our stocks this season, being confident that they must prove satisfactory. WHEN TO ORDER SEEDS,.—Beyond question, the proper time to send in orders is just as soon after the receipt of this catalogue as that can be conveniently done. Not only does it give us plenty of time to fill orders, but is sometimes in other respects a great convenience to us, and likewise a benefit to those ordering, in this respect. Although we carry a large stock, it is evident that, as we cannot foresee the demand, we are liable at times, particu- larly as the season advances, to run short of some kinds; an early receipt of orders enables us to avoid that difficulty and customers get what they want without delay. It also enables purchasers, on receipt of their seeds, should they then discover that they have omitted something in ordering, to send again, and have the omitted article arrive in season. HOW TO ORDER SEEDS, ETC.—In making out orders be careful to give your full name and address, plainly written, to prevent mistakes and delay; and please state distinctly whether large quantities are to be sent by express or freight, otherwise we shall use our own judgment regarding the best route. In ordering packages sent C. O. D., sufficient money must be enclosed with the order to pay express charges both ways, so as to protect us from loss, as it sometimes happens that persons do not receive goods on their arrival, and the express charges may be more than the value of the package. SEEDS BY MAIUL.—Purchasers of seeds will please note that all seeds in packets are sent free by Mail to any Postoffice or Express Office in the United States ; but those ordering quantities of one-half pound, or pint and upwards, will please add to the catalogue price of seeds a sufficient amount to cover expense of postage, namely, 8 cents per pound; 15 cents per quart of Beans and Peas, and 10 cents per quart of Sweet Corn. Since these and larger quantities are most frequently ordered sent by express or freight, we deem it advisable to adhere to what has always been our custom of listing seeds at their true value, leaving it to the purchaser to add the necessary amount for postage when he desires them sent by mail. Experience has taught us that this plan saves both ourselves and our customers much trouble and annoyance. We wish, then, to direct particular attention to this important fact, that while we do not offer, as some seedmen do to-day, to forward all seeds postpaid, it will be found, on making comparison, that the actual prices of our seeds are as low as those of any first-class and reli- able seedsman in the country. GREENHOUSES AND PLANT DEPARTMENT. A lifetime of experience in plant culture has taught us many valuable lessons in the construction of greenhouses, so that our ranges, as they stand to-day, are not only the most extensive in our city, but they are in every respect most complete and serviceable. Briefly stated, the secret of our success in this branch of our business is a painstaking con- sideration of the wants of our customers, and close and prompt attention to them ; a careful selection of plants of the best kinds, new and old, and those best adapted for the various uses they are to be put to; a close study of the requirements of every class of plants, and a strict observance of the best methods of cultivation. Our greenhouses, too, as we have said, are as near perfect and as completely fitted up as it is possible to have them, and all the gardeners we employ are active men of long experience and devoted to their profession. Furthermore, it has always been our greatest care to deal fairly, honestly and liberally with our customers. ‘#—Currie Bros.’ Horticultural Guide——<#R NOVELTIES.—It will be seen that a number of the plants we offer are new or of very recent introduction, but all have been thoroughly tried to test their qualities before giving them a place in our lists. All are really excel- lent of their kind, and should find a place in every collection of plants. To place them within the reach of everybody, we offer them at extremely low prices. BEDDING PLANTS .—Our stocks of these this year are again, we are happy to say, fully equal toany we have ever offered. CONSERVATORY AND PARLOR PLANTS.—We fee! especially proud of the stock of plants we are grow- ing and preparing for conservatory or parlor culture. A finer lot of Palms, Ferns, Begonias, Lilies, Fuchsias, Gerani- ums, etc., we have never seen. We have them in all sizes, from the LARG HST SPECIMEN to the smallest cutting or seedling, so that we are prepared to fully supply all demands. HOW WE SHIP PLANTS.—Small plants to distant and outlying points, and in small quantities, are quite frequently sent by mail, and we exercise every care to have them reach their destination in good condition; but we cannot recommend this means of carrying plants, in fact we always discourage it, knowing it to be most unsatisfactory, and we only resort to it when compelled by circumstances. ORDER PLANTS SENT BY EXPRESS.—For the same money we will gladly send a much larger plant by express than we possibly could by mail. The soil is all left on the roots; the plants can be more carefully packed, and they are sure to arrive in good condition and receive no check to their growth. To encourage a preference fo- this means of having plants sent, we not only send larger and better plants, but we always add enough extra to com- pensate for the additional expense of expressage. All packages are delivered free of charge to all depots and express offices in Milwaukee, and no charge is made for boxes, baskets or packing. SAFE ARRIVAL OF PLANTS GUARANTEED.—We guarantee all plants to arrive safely and in good con- dition, ¢f sent by express. We will cheerfully replace any or all plants not received in good condition, ¢f notice is sent us immediately on receipt of the plants. We do not hold ourselves responsible for plants which have been received in good condition, but which may afterwards from some cause fail to grow. Neither do we take any risk on plants sent in any other way but by express. HOW TO TREAT PLANTS WHEN RECEIVED.—Plants sent by express usually arrive in such perfect con- dition that no special treatment is required. If they should be dry, soak the balls of soil in cold water before potting or planting them. When sent by mail to a considerable distance they are liable to g2t dry. If they should look wilted, place them in tepid water for a short time and they will soon revive ; then pot into as small pots as will con- veniently hold the roots, or if planted immediately in the garden, press the soil, which should be well pulverized, firmly around the roots ; water and shade for a few days. PRICES.—Following our usual custom, we this year maintain the same reasonable, in fact low prices, we have always aimed at. We believe we have never failed to give our customers entire satisfaction, always making them feel that they have received full value for their money. This year we have the utmost assurance, knowing the superiority of our stock of all kinds of plants, that we can give fully as good, if not better, satisfaction than we have in any previous year. At any rate, we were never so well satisfied ourselves with the appearance of all our plants as we zie a present. Remember, also, that we are LIBERAL WITH EXTRAS, according to the value of the order. r ; GARDEN TOOLS AND REQUISITES.—Of these we carry a complete and extensive line.

CURR INIT VV NNN OV Ee eee CURRIE’S RUST-PROOF GOLDEN WAX BEAN. ar ie IME proves beyond a doubt that we possess in this Bean IE S U ST == P R 0 6} F a variety of very superior merit, and one that is un- ( equaled by any other Wax Bean inits many excellent gk age) qualities. The unprecedented demand for the ' if OLDEN AX F A N seed alone is sufficient proof of its genuine ww. s B worth. Last season quantities of this Bean were furnished to many of the largest and most & critical Bean growers throughout this country, : with the very gratifying result that all reiterate our claims for it, by pronouncing it the most perfect Wax Bean ever yet introduced. When first brought to our notice, we were satisfied that this Bean possessed extraordinary quali- ties, and our most sanguine hopes have not only been fully realized, but the past two seasons, so disastrous to the Bean crop, have demonstrated new features of merit in it that we hardly dared to anticipate. Regarding the many excellent qualities of this Bean, we can only briefly repeat, but with more emphasis and with greater assurance, what we said last year. Itis positively proof against that most inveterate and destructive enemy of the Bean, the rust. For while grown side by side, for several years, with other Wax Beans, all of them more or less affected by rust, many of them completely ruined by it, this Bean has remained entirely free from it. But not only is it Rust-Proof, but it possessess the most excel- lent and most desirable quality, of being always exceedingly Crisp and Tender, with no approach whatever to stringiness, and of a most delicious flavor; whereas, as is well known among the few Beans which are said to be nearly rust- proof, there is not one that is not rendered almost unfit for use, owing to the tough, stringy texture of the pods, and their poor flavor. Time has also proven that it is the earliest of all Waa Beans, Golden Wax not excepted. It is, moreover, amazingly productive.

E have now the satisfaction of knowing, beyond a doubt, that our predictions of last year, concerning this Cabbage, were well-founded, and we now fully realize what we possess in “The Eclipse,” a variety unequaled by any now in the market as a second early. The numerous unsought-for tesimonials we have received, regarding its merits, from market gardeners, and others, in every section of the country, are alone sufficient proof of Ww) yp y its great value. The demand for seed of it, this season, is now far th Dy Ml << La WWE AA ahead of our most sanguine hopes. : THE ECLIPSE is the Earliest of all large Cabbages, and while it . is considerably larger than Henderson’s Early Summer, it is fully two Cas weeks earlier than that variety. The heads grow very uniform in s 5 size, with few loose leaves, remarkably solid, very tender and of the finest quality. The veins and midribs of the leaves are also very much smaller than other varieties. Color dark green. THE ECLIPSE is all that can be desired as an early Cabbage, and it has the further inerit of being a valuable sort for main crop. The stem is very short. That, coupled with the compact habit of its growth, makes it valuable, inasmuch as_many ' more Cabbages can be planted on an acre than, of/most, . large.headed sorts. a Gees \ LA Many large growers who know say: “The three best Cabbages for the Market Gardener are CURRIES’ EARLY MARKET, ECLIPSE and LONG KEEPING.” Now Recognized as the Best Allround Early Cabbage in Cultivation. Market gardeners everywhere who have grown it are unanimous in pronouncing it a most desirable variety, very early, of excellent quality, tender and very mild in flavor when cooked. Comparing it with Wake- -- field, we find it earlier than that standard sort, besides having a much /| larger and firmer head, with few loose outside leaves. In fact, in weight it is fully equal to many of the second early varieties, and may, with advantage, be grown throughout the entire season. In form the head is conical, like all early varieties. Market gardeners in this section now grow this variety as their standard extra-early sort, and judging from the many flattering testimonials we every year receive from every section of the country where we have introduced it, it bids fair to be- come universally popular, and be the accepted extra-early Cab- bage for market and family use. Pkt., 10 ets.; 0z., 40 cts.; % Ib., $1.25; 1 Ib., $4.00. IMPORTED EXTRA EARLY DWARF ERFURT CAULIFLOWER. This variety is obtained from a selection of the largest and earliest heads, and is unsurpassed in quality. We have it grown for us by the most experienced growers in Europe, and the great- est care is taken to have it pure; and the large demand we have for the seed proves, beyond doubt, that our efforts in that direction meet with success. Poor, cheap Cauliflower seed is a dear gift, and we would caution everyone to buy nothing but the best, which can only be obtained ata high price. For forcing, this variety is unequaled, and is equally well adapted for late planting. It is dwarf and compact in habit, thereby accom- “==ags-4=7% modating almost a half more plants on the space occupied by the taller growing =~ —= varieties. When grownunder favorable circumstances almost every plant will produce a snow-white head 9 to 10 inches in diameter. Pkt., 25 cts.; oz., $4.00. GES WAS TUNERST GUERNET: NT NEW POTATOES. THE MILWAUKEE. An excellent New Early Potato resembling Crown Jewell in appearance, but of larger size and very much superior in quality. Itis astrong grower with very strong tops, and comes into use fully as early as Early Sunrise, yielding however & much larger crop than that variety, and has the further merit of being a first-class keeper, and may be depended upon to re- main in good condition without sprouting until very late in the season. If grown in rich black loam it will produce a very heavy crop of handsome large tubers of very fine quality. Price per lb., 35 cts; $1 00 per peck, $2.50 per bushel. THE MILWAUKEE. EARLY WISCONSIN. An extra early variety destined to take a leading place where earliness end quantity are desired. It is a very large yielder abounding in light sandy soils, that combined with its extreme earliness makes it a most valuable potato for early marketing. Itis also an excallent keeper. It resem bles Beauty of Hebron in many respects, only that it is rose colored, and a much heavier yielder. The tops are stout and short, and the tubers are easily dug. Besides being a first- class market sort it will be found an excellent family potato and one that will be especially valuable in Southern markets. Price 35 cts. per lb., post-paid: $1.00 per peck: $2.50 per bushel. EARLY WISCONSIN, SNOWFLAKE JUNIOR. As the name implies this new potato resembles the old favorite Snowflake very much in appearance and in cooking qualities. It is, however, much more prolific, and has the further merit of being the nearest to BUG-PROOF of any potato we have ever seen grown. The bugs only attacking it after all other varieties in sight had been dispcsed of and then only in very small numbere, so that they could easily be taken care of. Asan all round family or market potato we know of no better. It is handsome in appearance, grows to a large size, clear white, cooks eyenly and mealy, and possessing that desirable flavor peculiar to the Snowflake. The tops are remarkably strong, growing upright, color dark green. Price 35 cts, per lb., postpaid: $1.00 per peck; $2.50 per bushel. SNOWFLAKE JUNIOR. SATISFACTION. This new potato possesses many excellent qualities to recommend it to the crower and consumer. It is early com- ing into use, about the same time as Early Ohio. In some respects it resembles Early Thorburn, only the tubers are more inclined to roundness. It yields most abundantly and its cooking qualities are the very best; as a baker it has no superior. For hotel purposes we think this variety is especially worthy of commendation. 1t also keeps well, and is in every respect a first class market potato.

Those marked thus * are wrinkled. SURRIE’S EXTRA EARLY CHALLENGE—No extra early Pea has _ ever giyen the universal satisfaction among market gardeners that this ' one has’.

The pods are very large and well filled with round Peas of fine flavor. In our large Pea-growing districts the Chal- lenge is how planted for an extra early, to the total exclusion of all other early varieties.

CREAM CITY—Compared with many excellent Potatoes grown alongside of the Cream City, it has yielded almost double the quantity of tubers, and not only did it produce more, but the Potatoes were all of a very superior quality, and not in any case did it show a disposition to decay or blemish, so prevalent among Potatoes in many parts of the country. It is the best early Potato we have ever seen. In habit of growth and gen- eral appearance it resembles the Harly Ohio, with this decided difference, however, that while the shape is almost identical with that very popular variety, the flesh is pure white. The tubers grow to a large size, but are always sound and solid, showing no disposition whatever to become hol- low. They are matured very early, and are of excellent quality, and cook remarkably quick, and are invariably most delightfully dry and flaky, very much like that old favorite, Snowflake.

The originator describes it as follows: “This is without doubt the earliest and finest Dent Corn in cultivation—bright orange color. Short, leafy stocks, medium-sized ears, small red cobs; long, deep grains, very rich in oil and starch—the most prolific Corn extant. This Corn is evidently adapted for planting in high latitudes, and will mature a crop farther north than any other known variety, and for threshing there is no other Corn that will compare with it, will shell easier, will make better fodder, can be threshed earlier than any other known variety.

Currie’s Prize Cluster—The heaviest and most prolific Oats grown, so universally popular has it become that any description of it or ac~ count of its very superior merits would simply be superfluous. We have distributed it everywhere throughout our own and neighboring States, so that itis well known; and we are in no measure surprised to learn from all quarters that itis considered the best Oat in cultiva- tion, by far the earliest and most productive. To substantiate this fact,, however, we will simply state that Prof. R. P. Speer, Director of the. lowa Agricultural Experimental Station, in his report for 1888, places: Prize Cluster at the head of the list of varieties he had tested. Out: of fifteen of the leading sorts grown he found by careful measurement: and weight that Prize Cluster produced 69 bushels to the acre, three bushels more than any of the other sorts. For the information of any: one who may not have tried Prize Cluster we will say that it is a white variety of medium growth, very robust, heads very large, and grain re- markably heavy.

The fact that Timothy cannot be relied upon to make a sure catch, and that it SO soon becomes exhausted ordinarily, has caused farmers no little thought, and naturally set them to look about for something more reliable and permanent, and at the same time something equally as nutritious as Timothy. We are to-day in posession of mixtures which, for hay or pasturage, are far superior to anything we have seen. Experience has taught us, as it has every farmer who has given special attention to the culture of grasses, that while all varieties may do fairly well on any soil, there are certain kinds peculiarly adapted for particular soils. Some succeed admirably on wet, but are of no value on dry, soils, wvhere others are just at home. In view of these circumstances, we accordingly prepare mixtures of the various kinds and in the proper proportions, especially adapted for the locality and the kind of soil they are to occupy. To have the best results, therefore, farmers in ordering should make it a point to describe the situation of the field, and as near as possible the nature of the soil they wish to seed, and we will then be ‘enabled to send the mixture most suitable. That the farmer may know just what he is buying, we refer him to the special list of Grasses and Clovers illustrated and described in this catalogue. These are what we use in their proper quantities and proportions. We are very particular to have all Grasses true to name and of the very best quality. We will merely add ihat there is nowa very great demand for our mixtures, an unmistakable evidence that farmers appreciate them. We recommend heavy sowing, especially if the soil is poor, so as to make a good sod the first season. Our experience has taught us that from three to four bushels is a fair average, although on very rich soils from two to three bushels will be found sufficient. Where the addition of Clover is desired, a less quantity of the Grass Mixture should be used, in which case we deem it advisable to sow the Grass Mixture and Clovers separately, on account of the difference in the weight of the seeds. In regard to the quantity and varieties wanted for certain soil, if the parties desiring it should write to us, giving a description of the soil and the purpose it is wanted for, we will gladly furnish particulars and prices for the necessary mixture for it. The usual mixtures consist of the following Grasses: Qrchard Grass, Meadow Fox Tail, Sheep Fescue, Hard Fescue, Sweet Vernal, Meadow Fescue, English Rye Crass, Italian Rye Crass, Bent Crass and Red Top, put up in proper proportions. WE FUR™ISH FOR $2.00 PER BUSHEL OF 14 POUNDS. To this mixture may be added {0 pounds of Mixed Clovers to an acre, consisting of White, Red, Alsike and Mammoth, which, put up in proper proportions, we furnish for $1,756. For TEMPORARY PASTURE one to two bushels will be sufficient by adding Timothy to the above mixture, and reducing the cost to $1.50 per bushel of 14 pounds. Six pounds Mixed - Glovers for same, $1.00. WRITE FOR SPECIAL PRICES ON LARGE QUANTITIES. HOW TO MAKE A LAWN. ANY inquiries reach us concerning the best and cheapest method of obtaining a nice, smooth, velvety lawn. We will here describe, as well as our space will permit,the method that gives almost universal satisfaction. The turfing of large lawns is seldom resorted to now ; it is too expensive, and good, clean turf is almost unobtainable. Seeding is the plan usually adopted, and the one recommended by all good landscape gardeners. With that we will deal. When practicable, the soil of the proposed lawn should be thoroughly prepared in the fall. After the necessary grading has been accomplished and the general formation of the surface established, let it all be again thoroughly plowed, harrowed and well pulverized and finally raked toa smooth, even surface—as smooth as possible and firm ; not only that, but alike compact in every spot, to prevent unequal settling. This inay be accomplished by treading down and again filling up to grade where necessary. Scatter over the surface of the ground, if somewhat poor, a coating of rich manure, and let it remain all winter. In the spring remove the manure and again rake the ground smooth and even and sow on the seed. There is much diversity of opinion regarding the proper quantity of seed required for a given area. We are always disposed to advocate a liberal quantity, for the simple reason that as the seed is but a very small item of the expense of making a lawn, and as it is always desirable to have a thick, close turf as soon as possible, it is advisable to sow thickly. With thick sowing we can accomplish in one season what with thin sowing may take two or three seasons, or even longer, to the bitter disappointment of the owner. We have had a very extensive experience in the seeding of lawns- Gradually we have increased the quantity of seed until now we use at the rate of about four bushels to the acre, or a little over one bushel to every 100 feet square, and with the most satisfactory results. Finish off by rolling with a moderately heavy lawn roller, and patiently await the results. If everything is favorable, a nice green lawn about the first of August will be the result. Run the mower over it frequently and remove all obnoxious weeds. The first season the grass may be a little thin, but one sea- son more will make it as thick and velvety as the best of turf. If the grass appears very thin in spots, sow on these a little more seed the following spring. CAN BE SOWN AT ANY SERASON OF THE YEAR. LAWN GRASS.

The plant grows only from 114 to 2 feet high, forming a dense, richly branching bush, surmounted on strong slender stems by very large, beautifully shaped flowers, very double, laciniated and of the purest possible white. The time of blooming is of much longer duration than that of other Poppies. The luxuriant green foliage and the enor- mous pure white flowers of this novelty make it particularly valuable for large groups, but it is also very effective planted singly or as a border plant. Magnificent species, producing an abundance of splendid flowers of the most vivid scarlet imaginable. The two outer petals of the flower beara simi- larity to a saucer in which is set two erect petals of the same color, forming a pouch- like receptacle enclosing, and seemingly protecting, the anthers. When the flowers begin to fade two black spots are visible at the base of the petals. From a mere description no ade- quate idea can be gained of the strikingly beautiful effect presented by a mass of the plants when in full bloom. It commences blooming early in June and flowers abun- dantly without interruption for a period of six to eight weeks. Sown in the open ground the seeds lie for several weeks before germinating. = = Packet, 25 cents. TULIP POPPY—‘‘PAPAVER GLAUCIUM. Packet, 25 cents. Sireptocarpus, New Hybrids.

ALL FLOWER SEEDS DELIVERED FREE BY MAIL. NVA: years of practical experience in Floriculture has enabled us to faithfully discriminate between those flowers which are truly excellent or well worthy of cultivation, because thoroughly adapted to our climate, and those of no value to us, however beautiful and well-suited they may be to other countries. Greenhouse plants may be grown with like success in any climate ; but while it is true a very large number of kinds will succeed as well in one climate as in another, there are certain very choice kinds, very beautiful and very desirable, but which only do well under the most favorable circumstances. They may be found in perfection in one place, but try as we may, we invariably meet with failure in attempting to grow them in a climate less favorable. Our general list of flower seeds contains all and only these of most value in our climate. If we introduce any new thing, we must either know it well ourselves, or be thoroughly convinced by what we learn of it from the most reliable sources that it is worthy of culture, before we will list it. We use every care our experience can suggest to have our flower seeds trae to name and of the very best quality. \ith the proper treatment and care every seed must grow. To assist the uniniti- ated we give brief but sufficient directions for the culture of each plant on the seed packet, which, if faithfully followed, will surely result in success. The following Abbreviations cccur in the Flower Seed List, viz: A for ANNUALS that grow, bloom and die the first year from seed. B for BEENNIALS that bloom the second year from seed, and then die, although many, if sown early in the Spring, will flower the first year. P for PERENNIALS that usually bloom the second year from seed, and continue to grow and bloom for many years. Some will also bloom the first year if sown early. H indicates they are HARDY, and HH HALF HARDY. T indicates that they are TENDER. HARDY Annuals, Biennials and Perennials can be sown in the open ground early in the Spring, and Biennials and Perennials do not require protection in Winter. HALF HARDY Annuals, Biennials and Perennials should not be sown in the open ground until warm weather sets in; they can be sown in the house if desired early, and afterward transplanted. The two latter need to be protected in the Winter, or carried over until Spring in cold frames or greenhouses.

Currie’s Superfine Scotch Pansy. We don’t remember ever having introduced a flower seed that gave the uni- versal satisfaction that this beautiful strain of Pansy has given. We have it saved for us by one of the largest and most noted Pansy growers in Scotland from varieties that have received the first premium at the International Flower Shows of Great Britain and other prominent exhibitions for a number of years, and to-day it remains pre-eminently the finest strain of | Pansy In cultivation. It is unexcelled by any in size of flower (many of the single blooms meas- uring over 3 inches across), and for richness of color and beautiful markings it has no equal. Scotch growers haye for many years excelled those of any other nation in producing fine Pansies; not only is their climate peculiarly adapted to the cultivation of the Pansy, but it bas long been esteemed by them as one of the most beautiful flowers, and great care has been taken in perfecting it. This atrain contains innimerable varieties, each vying with the other in beauty and grandeur of its markings. Per packet... cece wcccsccaccesceotcwesieecerccsss 25 NYCTERINA.

Its large dark green, glossy leaves, and wealth of delicate pink fiowers so gracefully borne on long, erect and finely dividing flower stems, render this plant an exceedingly pretty and striking object. Add to all that beauty, foliage, instead of being plain green, which is handsomely variegated with large blotches of canary yellow, and you have one of the most beautiful plants imaginable.

VERY succeeding year, as this class of Begonias becomes better known, the de- mand for them keeps increasing. All the varieties are beautiful, many of them charming. The flowers of all of them are much larger than those produced by any of the other sorts; and some of them bear flowers of an almost incredible size. Not unfrequently we see them four inches in diameter. Furthermore, the numerous varie- ties produce many colors, varying through all the shades of crimson, scarlet, orange and yellow, and many are pure white. They are readily raised from seed, the young plants soon forming bulbs or rather tubers, which annually alternately become dor- mant and push into growth, perpetuating the plant for an indefinite number of years. Seeds should be sown early in spring and will produce flowering plants the same _ season. As growth ceases, gradually dry off the plants until the foliage and branches are decayed. Keep the bulbs perfectly dry until early the following season, when again pot and start them. We have a very fine assortment of large tubers, of many very choice varieties and colors, which we offer as follows: TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIA.

New Flowering French Varieties. Wh ( iy HE most effective arrangements imaginable in lawn or flower-garden embel- lishment are accomplished by the judicious use of Cannas, whose varied colored, large and luxuriant foliage lend a tropical air to the surroundings. A single plant in the center of a bed of other plants is always effective; but a bed, especially if it be a large one, filled with these plants alone, using a variety of them and con- trasting their varied colored foliage, is a most charming sight. The effect is heightened by planting around them a row or perhaps two of Caladium Esculen- tum. Hitherto we have been contented with the effects produced by the foliage alone, placing but little value on the flowers. But now we have an entirely new class of these plants, combining with the splendid foliage peculiar to their family, | flowers of such wondrous beauty as to rival those of the handsomest Gladioli which - they resemble very much in form. These flowers are produced in great clusters throughout the entire summer. More than that, if the plants are taken up care- fully in fall they will bloom quite as freely all winter. They are certainly a great acquisition. We haye a large assortment of the leading varieties producing according to --: their kinds, red, crimson, yellow, orange, striped and many tinted piossoms.

Like Ethiopica, the root is perennial, and is usually dormant during winter, starting into growth again early in ‘spring, when it should be repotted into fresh soil. Price, each, 25 cents. COLE WU: New and Especially Desirable Varieties. CARNATION, HE great and continually increasing popularity of Coleus, or as they are commonly called, Foliage Plants, a popularity well merited because of their beauty and general usefulness for decorative purposes, has offered many inducements to hy- bridizers, with the result that every year many new varieties are produced. It follows, as a matter of course, that many of them while good are in no particular superior to those already in cultivation. It was our fortune, however, to secure a set last year, which we offered for the first time, which are so supe- rior, being wondrously beautiful, that we again catalogue them with no additions, because we have found none superior.

HIS singularly beautiful and interesting climbing plant has of late attracted considerable attention, as well it may, for it is indeed a very handsome object. Trained on a trellis, rafter or pillar, it presents a striking appearance, never failing to immediately arrest attention. As a house plant it is very useful and very interesting, and is easily man- aged. The flowers of the variety named are tubular and about an inch ora little more in length; bright scarlet at the lower portion, and yellow towards the apex of the tube. The flowers are pro- duced in great profusion. Usually the plant makes a rapid growth, and it becomes necessary to resort to pruning to keep it in form. It should finda place in every collection of plants. Price, 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz. BLUE MOON FLOWER—(pomeea Learii.)

ZN Vi WAS ea \ cea PALMS. Puaae TT’HIS family of plants has a peculiar fascination for even the most unobserving. It . ray | is a remarkable fact that people who will daily pass by the most beautiful and i = sweetest scented flowers without apparently noticing them, are invariably arrested by a se gop Fi, < sight of almost any of the Palm family, and they stand to admire them. The genus is cer- tainly exceedingly popular, and well it may be, for it numbers among its species some of the most useful plants for general decorative purposes in all the long list of ornamental plants. For conservatory adornment they stand prominently foremost, and for parlor decoration they are without an equal, for, contrary to what many people suppose, they are not only capable of being grown in the parlor but they are, indeed, very easily managed and invariably succeed well if only treated with ordinary care. Some are, of course, better adapted than others for that purpose, but fortunately the very nicest are among that num- ber. We enumerate a few, and these are very popular and in great demand. ARECA LUTESCENS—Slender, plume-like leaves; very handsome, very valuable as a house- plant. Each, 50 cts. to $3.00. ; BRAHEA FILAMENTOSA—Robust fan-shaped leaves; erect in habit.

PRIMULA OBCONICA. IME only proves more conclusively the correctness of the prediction ll we made when we first saw this lovely Primula that it was destined to attract the attention of the whole flower-loving world, and meet with universal admiration. To see it is to admire it, and the longer one grows it the better he likes jt. For house or greenhouse decoration it ranks among the foremost for beauty, usefulness and extreme ease of culture. As a bloomer it has few equals, for flowers may be picked from it all the * year round, although it produces most profusely during the winter months. The color of the flower is a beautiful pale lilac, at times almost pure white. A long, light, graceful but wiry stem supports the flowers. Propagation is effected at any season of the year by division of the plant, and a large stock may speedily be obtained. Price 25 cts. to $1.00 each. CHINESE PRIMULAS. Double White.

It is a variety of the Virginia Creeper, but very % slender and delicate-like. The plant clings very closely to wood and stone work, and rapidly attains a height of even fifty feet. The leaves are small, purp- § fish green in summer, changing in fall to the most beautiful tints of crimson and} ‘orange.

Each 20c to 40 HARDY HERBACKOUS PLANTS. The grand old-fashioned hardy flowering plants, once 30 common in our gardens, but which for many years past have been quite neglected, we are pleased to see, fast making themselves popular again. The demand is increas- ing rapidly, so thatitis now safe to predict in a very few years these plants will again be the universal favorites they once were and so deservedly too. They are all attractive, many of them beautiful. They require so little care, and they are so useful for supplying quantities of cut flowers all through the sum- mer. When once planted they may be said to care for themselves, as nearly all of them die down to the ground every fall, all that is necessary to do is simply * to cut away the decayed stems. In spring the plants produce new stems. Each year they increase in size, and consequently admit of division, by which means they are rapidly propagated. We list a few of the best and most popular ones, all so well-known generally that descriptions of them may be omitted since our space is very limited. Try a few of them, they are inexpensive, and no plants so well repay the cultivator for any expense or trouble he may be put to.
