We consider this Dwarf Extra Early variety one of
Vines are larger and
more vigorous than the American Wonder, earlier and
more prolific than the Premium Gem. Pods arealways
well filled with peas, which in sweetness and quality
are far superior to any of the other extra early varieties.

be depended upon as being the true sort.

NEW YORK MARKET PEA.

The Earliest Pea in Cultivation.

This is the finest round white Extra Early Pea that
has yet been introduced. For sizeof pod and regularity
of growth it has no equal, and the quality is of the
finest. The pods are of a dark green color and are pro-
duced in immense quantities. Hardy and robust.

Per pt., 15 cts.; qt., 25 cts.; peck, $1.25.

THE QUEEN PEA.

This new variety is one of the few really fine peas
that resist the long droughts and stands well under the
scorching rays of the sun. and it is not subject to mil-
dew. Itis a green, wrinkled, main crop variety, grow-
ing to about two or two and one-half feet in height.
The pods are very large, slightly curved, produced
mostly in pairs, and all over the vine from bottom to
top. They are so packed in the pods that when opened
it would almost seem impossible that they could be con-
tained in the pod. The vines are very sturdy, and
being of a branching habit, this variety can be sown
more thinly than most varieties. Its season is just right
to succeed ‘‘ The Don,” as it comes into bearing when
that variety is about finished.

A Few Directions for Fariniie
Mushroom Beds.

The Mushroom is one of the most paniihle crops

grown, especially in the vicinity of large cities, where
the demand, at all seasons, is far in excess of the supply.

The best time for making Mushroom beds is in
August and September, as in the fall months: the nat-
ural heat is sufficient to cause the spawn to germinate
freely, and the beds made then ought to bear freely
before and up to Christmas. Mushrooms can be grown
in sheds, cellars, caves, under benches in greenhouses,
and in regular Mushroom houses.

In preparing the materials, collect sufficient fresh ©

horse droppings to form the desired size of bed, spread-
ing them out in an airy shed to dry, and turning them

frequently. When in a proper state as to dryness, which —

will soon be learned by experience, make these into a bed
from nine inches to one foot thick, beating them firmly
together. If the droppings have been properly prepared,

gentle fermentation will soon commence, and when the
temperature of the bed is from 75° to 80°, with no danger
of it rising higher, put in the spawn. This is done by
making shallow holes about nine inches apart, inserting
pieces of spawn about the size of a hen’s egg and cover-
ing with the dung, pressing this closely about the spawn.

It is of the greatest importance that the temperature of
the bed should not decline below 75°, nor rise above 80°
for a month after spawning. Within a fortnight after
putting in the spawn, cover the bed about two inches
thick with good mellow moist soil, making this firm ;
and if under this a covering one or two inches thick of

cow dung, in about the same state as to moisture as the _

soil, can be afforded, this will cause the bed to last longer,

and also to produce a larger crop than if covered with — i

soil only. The most suitable temperature for beds in
bearing is 50° to 55°, and as a high temperature causes
the Mushrooms to come small, this should be avoided.
Watering beds in bearing often causes the small Mush-
rooms to damp off; therefore, water only when the bed
ceases to be productive, and then use the water about
the same temperature as the bed.

Be sure that the Mushroom Spawn you buy is good.
Half of the failures can be traced to the use of eats
worthless spawn.

CELERY.

German, Sellerie.—French, Celeri.—Span-
ish, Apio.

One ounce will produce 5,000

plants.

The seed may be sown in the open border
as soon in April as the ground can be
worked. When the plants are three inches
high, transplant four inches apart, into
temporary beds of soft rich soil, where they
will soon acquire sufficient strength for
planting out in beds. Plant in rows three
feet apart, and set six inches apart iu rows.
Tf the weather is dry athe time of planting,
care should be taken that the roots are firm
in the ground. After the planting is com-
pleted, nothing further is necessary for six
or seven weeks, except running through
between the rows with the cultivator or hoe
and freeing the plants from weeds. About
the middle of August earthing up is neces-
sary for blanching and whitening of that
which is wanted for early use. After the
soil has been drawn up against the plant
with the hoe, it is further pressed close
around each plant by the hand, firm enough
to keep the leaves in an upright position
and prevent them from spreading, using
care to prevent the soil falling into the
heart of the plant.

GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING. A
self-bianching variety of the ‘‘ White
Plume” order, but far superior for

and of fine flavor ; keeps well tnrough-

The Mushroom is one of the most @imf
profitable crops grown, especially in
the vicinity of large cities, where the
demand, at all seasons, is far in excess
of the suppiy. Its cultivation may be
carried on successfully in a cellar or
shed during winter, or in the open air
in summer.

CULTURAL Dr1REectTiIons :—Collect
sufficient fresh horsedroppingsto form
the desired size of bed, spreading
them out in an airy shed to dry, and
turning them frequently. When in a
proper state as to dryness, which will 4&
soon be learnt by experience, make ¢
these into a bed from nine inches to
one foot thick, beating them firmly @
together. Ifthe droppings have been
properly prepared, gentlefermentation
will soon commence, and when the
temperature of the bed is from 75° to
80°, with no danger of its rising higher, |
putin the spawn. This is done by making shallow holes about nine inches apart, inserting |
pieces of spawn about the size of a hen’s egg and covering with the dung, pressing this
closely about the spawn. Itis of the greatest importance that the temperature of the bed
should not decline below 75°, nor rise above 80° for a month after spawning. Within a
fortnight after putting in the spawn, cover the bed about two inches thick with good mellow
moist soil, making this firm; andif under this a covering one or two inches thick of cow
dung, in about the same state as to moisture as the soil, can be afforded, this will cause the
bed to last longer, and also to produce a larger crop than if covered with soil only. The
most suitable temperature for beds in bearing is 50° to 55° and as a high temperature causes
the mushrooms to come small, this should be avoided. Watering beds in bearing often
caus¢s the small mushrooms to damp off; therefore, water only when the bed ceases to be
productive, and then use the water about the same temperature as the bed.

For onion culture the ground should be prepared the previous

most suitable, although we have seen splendid crops raised upon a stiff
clay soil, which was well under-drained. Sow the seed as early in
spring as practicable, in shallow drills one foot apart, covering with

POTATOES.

German, Kartojfel.—French, Pomme de Terre.—Spanish, Patata.
Ten bushels cut tubers will plant one acre.

The Potato, like all robust-growing vegetables, can be grown with
varying success on soils of all kinds, and in all conditions of fertility,
but the soil best suited to it is a sandy loam. In breaking up good
pasture land, the decaying sod answers sufficiently well for the first
year in lieu of manure. Manure is applied either in rows or hills, or
broadcast over the hills and ploughed in—the latter in most cases being
preferable. In highly enriched soils the plants are more liable to disease
than when grown in soil that is naturally good. Plant as early in spring
as the ground can be had in fair working order, in hills or ridges, about
three feet apart ; covering in light soil, about four inches deep.

TOMATO.

German, Liebdesapfel.French, Tomato.—Spanish, Tomates.
One ounce will produce 1,500 plants.

This delicious vegetable is one of the most important of all garden
products. The sced should be sown in a hot-bed about the first week
in March, in drills five inches apart, and half an inch deep. When the
plants are about two inchee high, they should be set out four or five
inches apart in another hot-bed, or removed into small pots, allowing a
single plant toa pot. About the middle of May the plants may be set
out in the open ground ; they are planted for early crops on light, sandy
soil, at a distance of three feet apart, in hills in which a good shovelful
of rotted manure should be mixed. On heavy soil, which is not suited
for an early crop, they should be planted four feet apart. Water freely
at the time of transplanting, and shelter from the sun for a few days
until the plants are established. Sufficient plants for a small garden
mav be started by sowing a few seeds in a shallow box or flower-pot,
and placing it in a sunny window of the room or kitchen.

SPECIAL MIXTURE OF

- Grasses + Clovers

FOR

HAY AND PERMANENT PASTURE.

The selections of seeds in our mixture, being entirely composed
of the true permanent species, are somewhat more expensive than
mixtures of seeds which contain a considerable proportion of
Rye-grass and Timothy, but it is admitted that the laying down
of land to grass with such mixtures as it was customary to use a
few years ago has often proved very unsatisfactory, and even
when most successful the success has only been attained by the
application of expensive manures and after years of waiting;
whereas selections of such seeds as are given in this mixture will
produce profitable pastures the first year after they have been laid
down, and will increase in profitableness year by year if ordinary

This special mixture may be sown either in the spring or fall,
using three busheis of seed to one acre, with an additional
ten pounds of mixed clover, sown in the spring.

Special mixture, per bush. (14 lbs.), $2.50.

CULTURE OF SWEET PEAS.

Sweet Peas should be sown in drills, as early as possible in spring,
in rich, friable soil. Prepare the bed by thoroughly working in a large
quantity of well rotted manure. Make a trench six inches deep. In
this sow the seed and cover two inches deep. As soon as the plants
begin to show through, fill in the trench. This will secure a deep plant-
ing without the bad effect of deep covering of the seed at first, and so
enable the plant to bloom continually through the heat of summer. As
fast as the flowers come into full bloom or fade, they should be cut off,
for if the pods are allowed to form, the plants will stop blooming.

LAWN MOWERS.

The principal feature of this machine is that the bottom knife-
far is bolted to the sides, thus making the frame perfectly rigid,
while by a new patent hanger the revolving cuiter is adjusted to
the bottom knife. This is the reverse of the adjustment in all other
mowers. When the knives are properly adjusted, a lock screw se-
cures them in position.

HORSE LAWN MOWER.

We believe this to bethe best Horse Lawn Mower ever made.
It has side draft attachment to enable the horse to walk onthe cut
grass only, and caster rollers which will not mark thelawn. We
secure evenness of cut by an adjustment which raises or lowers the
two sides at the same time by means of a simple lever movement;
the same lever serves the purpose of raising the knives from the
ground when driving over gravel walks or roads. The mowers are
fitted up with steel shafting and composition split bushings, same
as the hand mowers, and the same care is taken to have the work-
manship perfect.

each, 15 cts.; per doz., $1.00; per 100, $6.00.

-DEWBERRIES.

The Dewberry has thus far not been cultivated to any great extent,
on account, perhaps, of the few varieties that are worth growing.
There is no reason, however, why people should not enjoy this whole-
some fruit, especially as it comes between the raspberries and blackber-
ries. The best mode of culture is to treat it somewhat like the
strawberry, and plant it in rows six feet apart with. the plants three
feet distant in the rows, or setting the plants four feet by four. Keep
the soil mellow and clean. Owing to its trailing habit it will be neces-

sary to mulch the ground well, as with the strawberry, to keep the frnit

from becoming soiled.and gritty.

Lucretia. Decidedly the best of all Dewberries. As early or earlier
than Early Harvest Blackberry, and larger than Erie. It is a superb
fruit ; large and handsome, of a shining jet black, melting, and of
a delicious quality. The plant jg entirely hardy everywhere, 2
healthy, strong grower, and exceedingly productive. We can con-

» dently recommend the Lucretia as being a fine acquisition to the
family garden, and a delightful introduction to the blackberry
season. Strong piants. Per doz., $1.00; per 100, $6.00.
