apparently most valuable of recent introduction. The seeds we offer
have been raised under the supervision of our most reliable growers, and
are unsurpassed in quality; but as practical experience has demonstrated
that owing to unfavorable weather and improper treatment the best of
seeds may fail, we desire it distinctly understood that for these reasons
only we do not warrant seed. |

GENERAL DIRECTIONS.

The Cultivation of Vegetables. To secure a good crop of vegetables, three things at

least are necessary—viz., a suitable soil, pure seed, and
clean culture; to which may be added as equally necessary an abundant supply of good barnyard manure,
supplemented, when this runs short, by artificial fertilizers. The soil should be naturally rich and friable, a
, sandy loam being among the best. If the soil be stiff, it should be gradually mellowed by the free use of
, barnyard manure, or, if convenient, by the addition of sand. If wet, orinclined to hold an excess of moisture,
2 it should be under-drained, preferably by tile; but, if possible, a location should be selected naturally dry and
, free from surface water.

A dark-colored soil, or one supplied with a goodly portion of decayed vegetable matter, will produce
; the earliest crops. A sandy soil may be greatly improved by adding more or less vegetable mold from the
woods. To produce the best and most uniform results, the vegetable garden should have at least one foot of
good richsoil. To kill the weeds and keep the soil mellow the ground should be hoed frequently, and the
, proper time to hoe is just when the weeds appear above ground.

For other directions see body of catalogue, given with the various cultural instructions.

For Making a Hotbed. In the vicinity of New York, from the first to the middle of March is

®
quite early enough to make a hotbed, and even a little later will do well |

, enough. Provide a quantity of fresh horse manure from the stables, and add to this, if they can be had, one-
» third to one-half of its bulk of leaves. Mix them thoroughly, trampling down the mass in successive layers,
and form into a large pile, so that fermentation will proceed even in severely cold weather. In two or three
, days fermentation will be apparent by the escape of steam from the heap. Now turn again, and allow the
> heap to remain two or three days longer, or until the second fermentation commences. Make an excavation or
pit 244 feet deep, and of a size suited to the number of plants required. The pit will be betterif built up of
, brick. It should be made in some dry, sheltered spot, facing the south or east if possible. Hotbed sashes
> are usually 6x3 feet, and one or two sashes will generally give early plants enough for a small family. The
¢ frame for sashes should be 18 inches high at the back and 12 inches in front, which will give the proper slope
§ to catch the sunlight. Cross-pieces should be placed for the sashes to slide on, to facilitate opening and shut-
> ting the frames. When everything is ready, the manure is placed in the pit and trodden down firmly in lay-
¢ ers to the required depth, 2 to 244 feet. Then put on the sashes, and keep the pit closed until the heat rises.
, At first it will probably be 100° or more, which is too hot to sow the seed in; but in two or three days it will
> subside to 90° or a little less, when the soil may be put on to the depth of 6 to 8 inches. The heat may be
¢ readily ascertained by plunging a thermometer in the manure. The soil should be of well-rotted sod (or
, common garden soil, will do), mixed with about a third of fine, old manure, and in this the seeds may be sown
2 thinly in drills 2 to 3 inches apart, and afterward (as soon as out of the seed-leaf) either thinned out or else
; transplanted to another frame. Air must be given every mild day by raising the sashes at the back. Water
with tepid water whenever necessary, and during cold nights and snowstorms keep covered with straw mats
> or board shutters. Tomatoes, Peppers and Egg Plants should be sown in a separate frame from the Cab-
; bage, Cauliflower and Lettuce, as they require more heat than the latter. The same directions may apply to
, hotbeds made on the surface of the ground, except that the manure should be at least a foot wider on all
’ sides than the frame.

The Most Desirable

Sort for

The Home Garden.
THE NEW EXTRA

Crimson Cushion Tomato.

The vine of this most distinct sort is like that of First
and Best, except that it grows alittle taller and produces

peas fit for use a few days later.

The immense pods are

as large as thoseofthe Telephone, uniformly well shaped
and handsome, and more attractive than those of other
firstearlies. They ripen slowly and continue fit for use
much longer than most varieties, making this by far the
most desirable sort forthe home garden. The peas are
very large, of splendid quality and beautiful color,

which they retain after cooking.

Tip-Topb Maskmelon.

The most productive melon known; good for early
or late, having a sweet, juicy, fine flavor; solid flesh (but
not hard) and eatable to the outside coating. The fruit
is of large size, nearly round, evenly ribbed and moder-

ately netted. Per pkt., 5c.; oz.

GRADUS

The ‘Crimson Cush-
ion” is moresymmetrical
in shape than the Pon-
derosa, and is much
thicker through from
stem to ‘‘ blossom end”’;
in fact, so marked is this
characteristic that it is
frequently almost round.
The Color is brilliant
searlet-crimson, untinged
with purple, and ripens
up almost completely to
the stem. The ‘‘ Crimson
Cushion,” is almost seed-
less, requiring from 10 to
12 bushels of ripe fruit to
produceonepoundofseed,
whereas a pound of seed
is realized from 3 bushels
of ordinary Tomatoes.
These figures tell better
than any description the
‘‘seedless” character of
this grand variety. The
fleshis firm and ‘‘meaty,”
and of superb quality.
It is enormously prolific

Culture.—Sow the early kinds in September, in shallow drills, six or eight inches apart. When large enough
to handle transplant into acoldframe. Sow also in hotbeds in February and March, and in the open ground in
April and May. The late varieties for fall and winter use sow in May, and transplant from the 8th to the 25th of
July. Plant the early sorts twenty inches distant ina row and two feet between the rows; the latter sorts, two and
a halffeet each way. To be well grown, cabbages require a deep, rich loamy soil.

Our cabbage seed is especially grown for us on Long Island, and we offer it as being of superior quality.

Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt Cauliflower.

Culture.—Sow the first week in May and prick out on a rich piece of ground; transplant in July. For winter-
ing under glass sow in the second and last week in September; transplant thickly into a cold pit or frame; give
plenty of air in mild weather, and cover up wellin very severe. Again, sow in February in a hotbed and transplant
in April. For cauliflower the ground should be well prepared by trenching, incorporating at the same time a good
share of rotten manure. Select new ground, if possible, as cauliflower rarely succeeds on ground which has been
cropped year after year with other kinds of vegetables. Plant in rows twenty inches apart and two feet between the
rows.

One ounce will produce about 3000 plants.

CELERY.

One ounce will produce about 5000 plants.

Culture.—Sow the seed (which is slow to germinate) in shallow boxes, or in a finely prepared seed bed out of
doors, in straight rows, so that the small plants may be kept free from weeds.

See to it that the seed bed is kept moist, almost wet, until the seeds germinate, as plenty of moisture is essen-
tial to get a satisfactory growth. When about two inches high thin out and transplant so that they may stand two
inches apart, and when the plants are four inches high cut off the tops, which will cause them to grow stocky.
2: The crop is usually made to succeed some earlier crop, and if
Shey Wey good plants are used they may be set out as late as the middle

A

on fot oa of August; but the best results are usually obtained from setting

Wei oats about the middle of June or the first of July. Insetting, prepare
broad, shallow trenches about six inches deep and four feet apart,
in which the plants should be set six inches apart, cutting off the
outer leaves and pressing the soil firmly about the roots. When the
plants are nearly full-grown they should be ‘‘handled,” which is
done by one man gathering the leaves together, while a second
draws the earth about the plant to one-third its height, taking
care that noné of the earth falls between the leaves, as it would
be likely to cause them to rust or rot. After a few days draw
more earth about them, and repeat the process every few days
until only the tops of the leaves are visible, or the leaves may be
pressed together by two wide boards held firmly a few inches
apart by cross-ties and stakes, wheninafew days more they willbe
fit for use. Care should be taken that the plants are not disturbed
while they or the ground are wet, as it would be sure to injure
them. A part of the crop may be simply ‘‘ handled,” and then at
the approach of severe freezing weather taken up and set out
compactly in a dark cellar or an unused cold frame, which can be
kept just above the freezing point, and it will then gradually
blanch so that it may be used throughout the winter. Should the
plants begin to wilt, water the roots without wetting the stocks
or leaves, and they will revive again.

SUGAR CORN.

One quart will plant 200 hills.

Culture.—Plant for succession of crops every three weeks, from April to July, in hills three feet apart each
way, and six seeds in a hill; cover about half an inch; thin out to three plants.

EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES.

Metropolitan. It is safe to say that there has
never been on the market any one variety of
Corn that combined the essential features of
earliness and good flavor in a satisfactory
degree. In these important characteristics,
‘‘Metropolitan’’ certainly outclasses any other
variety. It is only two days later than Cory,
which, until now, has been the earliest sort.
The plant is distinct, being very strong in stalk,
growing 5% feet in height. The ears are all
set low, not over 1% feet from the ground, pro-
ducing from two to three to the plant. They
are uniformly 9 inches long, 10 to 12 rowed,
well filled to the tip with large deep grains,
which are very tender. It is not merely sweet,
but possesses in a remarkable degree that
exquisite richness so well known in the larger
and later sorts. Pkt., 10.; pt., 20c.; qt., 40c.;
pk., $1.50.

Cory Early (Red Cob). The Cory is undoubtedly
the earliest of all, and the very best extra early
Sweet Corn. We have proved it to be five days
earlier than the Marblehead, which hitherto
has always taken the lead. .Those desiring a
first early variety can make no mistake in
planting the Cory, Pkt., 10c.; pt., 15¢.; qt.,
20c.; pk., $1.00; bush., $3.50.

‘White Cob’’ Cory. An extremely early variety,
usually fit to use in from fifty to sixty days
from seed sowing. Asportor selection from the
famous ‘‘ Red Cob Cory,” which for years held
popular favor as the best first early. ‘‘ White
Cob” Cory retains all of the good qualities of its
parent, with the added merits of having a white

cob and white kernels, free from the objectionable reddish tinge that some-
times occurred in the red cob variety. The plants are dwarf and stocky,
enabling them to be closely planted ; usually two ears are borne onastalk. It
is not only the best first early sweet corn, but is valuable to plant late in sum-
mer for autumn use. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 15¢.; qt., 20c.; pk., $1.00.

Minnesota. One of the earliest; ears Perry’s Hybrid. Very early; ears of large
small, but of fine quality. Pt., 10.; size; valuable for market purposes.
qt., 20c.; pk., $1.00. Pt., 10.; qt., 20c.; pk., $1.00.

Extra Early Evergreen. Ten days earlier than the standard variety. Pt., 10c.;
qt., 25¢c.; pk., $1.25.

MEDIUM EARLY VARIETIES.

Stowall’s Evergreen. Now recognized everywhere as a standard variety, both for
home use and market, and is the general favorite. The ears are of a large size,
grains deep, exceptionally tender and sugary, and has the advantage of remain-
ing longer in the green state than any other. Our stock has been carefully
grown and selected to avoid the tendency to a shorter grain and deterioration
in the evergreen character of this best of all medium sorts. ¥% pt., 10c.;
pt., 15¢.; qt., 20c. ;pk., $1.00.

Crosby’s Early Sugar. Standard early sort; ears good size; fine quality. Pt., 10c.;
qt., 20c.; pk., $1.00.

Early Mammoth. Very large and tender; similar to the Standard Mammoth variety,
but much earlier. Pt., 10c.; qt., 20c.; pk., $1.00.

LATE VARIETIES.
Black Mexican. Very sweet and of fine flavor; grains black. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 15¢.;
qt., 25c.; pk., $1.25.
Late Mammoth, Immense ears and very sweet. Pt., 10c.; qt., 20c.; pk., $1.00.
Country Gentleman. The Country Gentleman Corn retains its delicate tenderness
and flavor even when a little old, as the ears are inclosed in a heavy husk, which
tends to keep the ear ‘‘in the milk” for several days longer than other corns,
: The cob is unusually small and the pearly white kernels of great depth. Pkt., 10c. ;
Corn, Mammoth and Marblehead. pt., 15¢,; qt., 25c.; pk., $1.25. Price of field corn furnished upon application.

Culture.—This favorite fruit may be grown any season of the year in a houseor
frame where a temperature of 75° can be obtained. Sow in pots of light soil, and pot
off when the third leaf appears. The soil should be prepared and placed in the house
or frame several days before it is required. Plant out when the third rough leaf is
developed; keep a moist warm temperature. Allow them to make several joints, when
they should be stopped to make them branch, then pinch out the shoot where the fruit
appears; keep them thin and trained regularly; supply with plenty of water, which
should not be colder than the temperature of the place; keep adding fresh soil as the Wy
roots appear above the surface, which they do freely when the plants are thriving and on tot
healthy. The soil should be light turf, well rotted, and leaf mold without anil RollisonspLelyanph

LEEK.

One ounce will sow about 100 feet of drill.

Culture.—Sow the seed very early, in a seed bed in a shel-
tered place, if possible. When plants are about six inches long,
transplant them to trenches six inches deep, with very rich soil
at the bottom. Fill up the trenches as the plants grow, and later
draw soiluptothem. Asa result, you will have fine, large leeks,
blanched, half a foot long, which may be kept all winter if dug up
with the roots on and stored in moist sand in the cellar.

plants have produced their rough leaves, thin out to three plants.
The hills should be prepared by trenching in rotten manure and
sand. As soonas the plants make their appearance above ground,
dust them with soot, charcoal dust or wood ashes, to prevent
the ravages of the bug.

MUSHROOM: SPAWN.
Ten lbs. will spawn 10 feet square.

Culture.—Mushrooms are easily grown, with a little care and
attention under a square shed, portion of a cellar, or any dark, dry
place. Collect a quantity of fresh horse droppings, throw them into
a heap, leaving it until it commences to ferment, then turn it over
and mix it up well, and place it where you intend to make the bed;
spread it regularly about 18 inches thick, tread firmly and level the
surface, then apply the soil about three inches in thickness all over the
bed. Leave this to heat for a few days, and as soon as the heat
drops to 90 degrees, make holes in the bed about a foot apart each
way, into which put pieces of the spawn about the sizeof an egg;
fill up the holes with the compost. Beat the surface level, after-
ward keep it dry, and the mushrooms will make their appearance in
about five or six weeks. When the firstcrop has been taken, give the
bed a good watering, leaving it as before, when they will again
make their appearance. Beds can be made at any time of the year,
and as one declines another should be made, to keep a constant
supply. The spawn should be kept in a cool, dry place. When
gathering, remove the stalks; do not cut them or they will rot and
breed maggots.

The Australian Brown Onion is of medium size, wonderfully hard and solid,
extremely early in ripening, and never makes any stiff-necks or scallions.
Every seed seems to produce a good-sized onion, and the bulb begins to
form very quickly—when the plant is not over three inches high. Planted
with the Red Wethersfield, it proved to be nearly four weeks earlier and
ripened off more uniformly. It has the reputation of keeping indefinitely,
and we think from its firmness and hardness that it will keep in good
condition longer than any other onion known. The color of the skin
is a clear amber-brown. Per pkt., 5c.; 0z., 15¢.; 4 1b., 30c.; lb., 90c.

PEAS.

One quart will plant 100 feet of drill.

Culture.—For early crops sow as early in spring as practicable, and again every two or three weeks for a suc-
cession throughout the season up to the first of August. Plant in single or double rows, four feet apart and two
inches deep. In dry weather soak the peas over night before planting. In the vicinity of New York the Extra
Early Peas, if planted from the 15th to the last of August, will produce a medium crop for late picking, when they
will be found most acceptable.

Varieties marked * are wrinkled marrows, and should be
sown thicker than the round peas, and not until the ground
has become warm, as they are more liable to rot. All .\,
wrinkled sorts are much superior in flavor to the round Qs

peas.

short joints, setting its fruit clusters closer to- |
gether than most varieties, and is therefore a }
heavy cropper. Besides being the most desira- {jj

symmetrical in shape than the Ponderosa; and is

up almost completely to the stem. The flesh is
firm and “meaty,” and of superb quality. Per \

HOW TO SOW FLOWER SEEDS.

Te interest attached to the raising of plants from seeds, whether. of old-established favorite or others of a
more recent introduction, is well known to all who have attempted it; therefore the following practical
directions cannot fail to prove of value to amateur cultivators.

Take boxes from three to five inches deep, filled to within half an inch of their tops with a light, sandy soil,
sifted fine; sprinkle the seeds on top and cover lightly, according to the kind, the coarser the seed the more soil
being required. Then press the soil lightly with a flat piece of wood or trowel; water with a sprinkler or with a
very fine spray. Place your boxes in a light, sunny place, covering them with a piece of glass, or, if too early in
spring, place them in the house in front of the window where the sun’s rays can reach them. When the tiny little
plants have as many as four or five leaves, transplant them into larger boxes or pots containing a somewhat richer
soil, two inches apart each way. When the weather becomes warm and you are prepared to arrange your garden,
transplant to places where you want them to growand bloom. These directions refer principally to small seeds,
but may be followed with all kinds, as they point out the surest way to raise plants from the seeds.

All hardy Annuals and some Perennials will succeed well if sown in the open air about the end of April or the
beginning of May. In this case one more important point must be observed, that of ‘‘thinning out” the plants in
their earlier stages; forif the young plants are allowed to remain in a crowded state they will soon spoil each
other, and therefore must be thinned out. This should be done cautiously at first, only enough to give the
remainder a clear space, and again when two or three inches high. The number of plants finally left must depend
on the size and habit of the species; if large and spreading, single plants are best, otherwise two or three may
remain an equal distance apart; if small and spreading or trailing, two or three more may be left, but they should
be six inches apart.

In transplanting, care must be taken: lift the plants carefully by the use of a garden trowel, retaining as
much soil to the roots as possible. This should be done in wet or cloudy weather, and if the ground is dry a good
soaking with water before and after planting is advisable.

Floral Novelties and Rare and Valuable Varieties of Flower Seeds.

Semple’s Giant Late-Flowering Asters.

A handsome strain of late-flowering Asters. Superior toall other sorts
of this class, lengthening the Aster season until frost. The flowers arg
very large, measuring four inches in diameter, of purest colors, and are
borne on long stems. They begin to bloom early in September.

Pure White, Lavender, Shell Pink, Bright Crimson, Dark Purple or above
varieties, mixed, per pkt., 10 cts.

New Comet Aster.

Empress Frederick.

A beautiful pure whité, Dwarf Comet Aster, the flowers measuring
4 to 5 inches in diameter, and of the most refined and elegant globular form,
but the feature which constitutes its special merit is the compact, sturdy,
and thick set habit of the plant, which makes jit particularly suitable for
growing in pots. The strong main stem bears a superb flower of extra large
size, which is surrounded and partly over-topped by other fine globular
Empress Frederick. blooms borne on side shoots to the number of 8 to 12. Price, 25c.

The Latest Floral Wonder.

Shasta Daisies.

(Chrysanthemum Leucanthemum Hybridum.)

‘‘Shasta Daisies” can be grown out-of-
doors by everybody where it is not cold enough
to kill oak trees. Second, they are perennial,
blooming better and more abundantly each
season. Theyarenot particularastosoil. Third,
they bloom for several months—in California
nearlyall the year. Fourth, the flowers are ex-
tremely large and graceful, averaging about a
foot—often more—in circumference, with three
or more rows of petals of the purest glistening
whiteness, on single, strong, stiff, wiry stems,
nearly two feet in length. These ‘Shasta
Daisies” should not be confounded with the
coarse Chrysanthemum lacustre of the Cat-
alogues or the common ‘‘American field
daisy.”

The blooms when cut remain perfectly fresh
and in good condition for two weeks or more.
Many new and graceful forms have lately
appeared among the ‘Shasta Daisies,” and
well-marked colors are now appearing in a
flower which was never before seen except in
white. Per pkt., 50 cts. - : Shasta Daisies.

SINGLE WALLFLOWER,

Tom Thumb Varieties
(Benary).

Owing to the very useful nature of the
Single Black-Brown Tom Thumb Wall-
flower, frequent attempts have been made
to raise other distinct varieties of a similar
habit. These endeavors have not hitherto
been successful, as the colors will not
come true from seed. We are pleased to
be able to offer a mixture which produces
arich variety of color. ‘The flowers range
in hue between light and dark yellow,
light brown, chamois, violet and dark red,
and nearly all the plants have the compact
build and dwarf habit (6 to 8 inches) of
the typical variety. :

Price per pkt., 25c. Single Annual Wallflower.

NEW LARGE-FLOWERING SCOTCH BORDER PINKS.

These are great improvements over the charming favorites of old-fashioned gardens.
The flowers are larger than the old sort—very double, beautifully fringed, have a great variety
of colors and markings, emit a grateful clover-like perfume, and are borne on short,
stiff stems, making the plant,
when in full bloom, about one
foot high.

The erect habit and dense fo-
liage prevent the flowers from
being splashed with mud, which
so disfigured the long-stemmed
nodding flowets of the old pinks
in wet weather. They are ex-
cellent perennial plants, vigor-
ous, very hardy, and bloom pro-
fusely during spring and early
summer.

Price per pkt., 25c.

Pyrethrum Roseum Hy-
bridum Grandiflorum.

Few perennials can be more
beautiful than well-grown hy-
brids of Pyrethrum roseum.
Not only are they, through their
vivid coloring and long-lasting
bloom, most effective in the open
border, eithersingly orin groups,
but the splendid long-stalked,
ray-shaped flowers are of excep-
tional value for cutting, reach-
ing 4 inches in diameter and
presenting all the beautiful va-
riations of color between light
rose and deep carmine.

grotesque and beautiful combinations; some with charming
deep throats of yellow, white, black, green, or maroon, running
off into intricate veins. Some of the colors are rich and gor-
geous, and others of lovely delicate shades.

SWEET PEAS.

(Lathyrus odoratus.)

Sweet Peas succeed best in a
deep, rich soil. The most ap-
proved method of cultivation is
to sow in a trench 5 or 6 inches
deep, covering them at first with
only 1 inch of soil; then, as the
plants grow, fill in the earth about
them linch at a time. After the
plants are well grown up, they
should be watered copiously, and
bone meal worked into the soil
about the roots, is reeommended.
Proper trellis or other sugports
should be provided.

The first sowing of Sweet Peas
may be made very early in the
spring, as soon as the frost is out
ofthe ground. Forasuccession some should besown
every few weeks afterward. For fall flowering they
may be sown as late as July. Then, again, they may
be sown late in the fall for very early blooming the

following spring, but in that case a dry situation is preferable,
and they should be sown 4 or 5 inches deep, and not in the
trench method.

PRICES for any of the below-named Sweet Peas, 5c. per packet (of
about 100 seeds, enough for a single row 6 feet long); 10c. per ounce (300

LAWN GRASS MIATURES.

For Special Situations.

Having made a special study of grasses we invite correspondence on the subject, and are always willing to
advise, as far as our knowledge will permit, howto secure the desired results, or will cheerfully prescribe for
whatever the requirements of any special plot may be.

With a view to overcome difficulties in getting grass to grow, generally the result of using mixtures of
grasses not adaptable for the peculiar situations and conditions, we. offer herewith a few Special Mixtures, made
up of varieties which will thrive in these situations, and under the conditions for which they have been prepared.

SHADY PLACE LAWN SEED.

There is nothing more annoying in caring for a lawn than the bare, unsightly spots under the trees, shrubs,
etc., and invariably all efforts have failed to get the grass to grow in such places; but by sowing this mixture the
difficulties will be overcome. It is a combination of dwarf-growing varieties which will do well in all shaded
places, being found in their natural state in woods and other sheltered spots.

Price, per quart, 35c.; per peck, $2.25; per bushel, $7.00.

THE ‘‘ TERRACE” MIXTURE OF LAWN SEED.

A special mixture of grasses best suited for sowing on terraces and side hills—grasses that produce strong
spreading roots, thus preventing heavy rains from washing them out; that.will withstand drought and exposure,
thrive on shallow soils, and at the same time produce a rich, green turf throughout the season.

Price, 35c. per quart; $2.00 per peck; $7.00 per bushel.

To Grass a Bank or Terrace.—For each square rod, take two quarts of lawn grass seed and mix it
thoroughly with six cubic feet of good, dry garden loam. Place in a tub, and add liquid manure, diluted with
about two-thirds of water, so as to bring the whole to the consistency of mortar. Theslope must be made perfectly
smooth, and then well watered, after which the paste should be applied, and made as even and as thin as possible.

; GOLF LINK MIXTURE.
TMG A suitable mixture of Grasses for
Golf Links.

While the outlying portions of the
“Links” can be seeded with less ex-
pensive grasses, the ‘‘ putting” for about
twenty yards around the “holes” must
be sown with the very finest grasses.

For Putting Greens we can supply a
special mixture of grasses. Price, 30c.
per qt. ; $1.75 per peck; $6.00 per bush.

For the Outlying Grounds or Links
proper we can supply a suitable mixture
of grasses. Price, $2.50 per bush.; 20
bushels and upward, $2.25 per bush.

GRASS SEED MIXTURES.

For Hay and Permanent Pasture.

For every different kind and con-
dition of soil there area large number of
grasses, either indigenous or introduced,
which are especially suitable. Some
sorts do best on high ground and in dry
weather; others prefer plenty of mois-
ture. Some mature so early and others so late that from the beginning of sprin g until winter sets in there is no
time when one species or another is not at its best. From these considerations the importance of sowing many
varieties for pasture and meadow purposes will be apparent, consisting of the following varieties: Orchard Grass,
Meadow Foxtail, Sheep’s Fescue, Rhode Island or Creeping Bent, Hard Fescue, Sweet-Scented Vernal (True
Perennial), Meadow Fescue, English Rye Grass, Italian Rye Grass, Red Top, Timothy and Red Alsike Clover,
blended in proportions which, we have found from actual use, give the most satisfactory results.

On ordinarily fertile soil three bushels of this mixture are sufficient to seed an acre, but where the land is poor
a larger quantity will be necessary. Taking one soil with another, a fair average would be three bushels to
the acre.

For Hay and Permanent Pasture for Light Soils,
s ar ¥ . ee rentien Soils. $2.50 per bushel of 14 Ibs.
gs y ¥ ts ‘© Heavy Soils. | 20 bushel lots, $2.45 per bushel
‘¢ Orchard and Shady Places. 50 ae 2.40 *

nately with the Rape, thus keeping them in the best thriving condition. A con-

DAMLIAS.

E take pleasure in offering herewith the latest and finest varieties of Dahlias of recent introduction, and
would like to draw the attention of our patrons to the fact that the varieties offered in this list
_are the cream of collections which have taken prizes at the Horticultural Exhibitions at Philadelphia and

New York.

The following list com-
prises only the newer
varieties, avoiding such
sorts as are familiar but
not so good as those men-
tioned here, as well asa
good many of the older
sorts which have been
improved upon, as well as
some newer sorts, which
are no improvement over
the older sorts, and those
offered under different
names by different firms,

purest white at the tips
and base of the petals,
gradually shading to-

petal to delicate blush
rose, and finally burst-
inginto a flame of the
most beautiful crim-
son. Thecolors ofthis
superb Dahlia defy de-

form, whilethe plantisa very strong grower and profuse

- bloomer.

Price, strong plants, ready April 15th, $1.00 each.

Storm King. A companion for the superb pink Dahlia
A. D. Livoni. This variety is an extremely early,
profuse and constant bloomer, a strong, vigorous
grower of dwarf branching habit, and produces its
flowers on long stems. The flowers are snow white,
of perfect form, and full to the center. As a cut-
flower variety it is the florist’s ideal, while for group-
ing or as a specimen plant (see photograph on page
57 of a specimen plant in full bloom) it is far ahead
of any other white show Dahlia. 3 ft. 25c. each;
$2.50 per doz.

Eureka. Beautiful new pink show Dahlia, deep rose,
shading lighter toward the edges. A cross between
Duke Alexis and A. D. Livoni, almost as large as
Alexis, having a full high center, and the beautiful
pink of A. D. Livoni. 3% ft. 40c. each ; $4.00 per doz.

Aleta. (Peacock). An exquisite quilled show variety
that will become more generally known than
A. D. Livoni. It is of the same form, beautifully
quilled, but much lovelier, being a much lighter and

softer pink. The color is between Nymphea and
A. D. Livoni, a lovely bright shrimp pink, the color
of the carnation Melba. It is also superior to A. D.
Livoni as a bloomer, producing twice as many
blooms as that standard variety, and every flower
is absolutely full to the center. 3 ft.

Unlike so many profuse flowering varieties, Aleta
is a vigorous grower of strong, sturdy habit, and
the flowers are perfect in form and freely produced
even in the driest weather.

Price, strong plants, ready April 15th, 40c. each;
$4.00 per dozen.

Lawrence Kramer. Astrong branching grower with dark,

glossy green leaves, with flowers of perfect rounded
form, borne on long, slender but wiry stems. The
color is a deep bright rosy pink, of the richest, bright-
est shade, without tint or blemish. In marked con-
trast with so many of theso-called pink singles, which
are shaded crimson, violet or lavender. In the gar-
den a few plants will furnish a supply of fresh cut
flowers daily. By far the best pink single Dahlia. 5ft.

afforded by a mixture of loam and well-rot-

prove highly beneficial. Plant all Lilies at

shades while a golden yellow blotch surrounded by a halo of
blue or violet at the base of the petals, intensifies the wealth
of coloring. The Japan Iris is perfectly hardy, and flowers in
greatest profusion in June and July, and attains greatest per-
fection if grown in moist soil, or if plentifully supplied with
_ water while growing and flowering.

TREE PAEONIES are a beautiful species of the well-known plants of that name, bearing a profusion of
massive flowers, in the most brilliant and deepest red as well as in rose, and pure and tinted white, rendering
them particularly effective for lawn decoration or for mingling among shrubs in borders. Tree ponies are
perfectly hardy, but their flower buds are
quickly developed in mild weather, and are apt
to be nipped by late frosts; they should there-
fore be mulched and protected during the
winter, and be planted in sheltered places.

made firm about them and liberally watered.

other with great regularity, like a coat of mail or like slates

beauty. The leaves then change to the brightest tints of scar-
let, crimson and orange, so dazzling as to be seen at a great
distance.

FRUIT TREES AND SMALL FRUITS.

We recommend Northern grown fruit trees to our customers, as they will be found to give better satisfaction than Southern

or Western grown trees,

We furnish excellent clean trees, which if planted carefully are almost sure to succeed.

Trees, when

received, should be planted at once in rich, prepared soil, the roots being carefully separated and spread. If dry weather
follows planting, the trees must be watered and mulched. Branches of last season’s growth should be well cut back, thus

encouraging the vigorous growth of new healthy shoots.

Emerald Lawn Dressing.

A clean, portable and convenient lawn dressing,
which we have found to be never failing in inducing a
rapid and rich green growths It should be sown broad-
cast in the spring or fall, though it can be put on during
the summer without injury or danger of burning the
grass, and a remarkable improvement will soon be
observed. It is in every way more desirable than

of ‘‘Emerald Lawn Dressing” entirely does away with
the old practice of top-dressing lawns with stable
manure, which was so objectionable on account of
unsightliness and disagreeable odors.

Quantity required. A 10-lb. package is sufficient
to go over an area of 300 square feet, or for forming a

LAWN SPRINKLERS.

The Water Witch Lawn Sprinkler (with or without stand),
An eiiective device for sprinkling lawns, gardens or flower
beds. The water flows with unimpeded force, and is divided
and deflected by the two lips of the swivel piece, which it
causes to revolve rapidly, scattering the water to fine drops
and evenly over a circular area of 25 to 45 feet diameter. It
works more satisfactorily with a very low pressure of water
than any sprinkler we know of. Price, without stand (i. e.,
with spur to stick in the ground), 75c. each; by mail, 85c. each.
Price, with stand (cannot be mailed), $1.25 each.

The Comet Lawn Sprinkler. (Will sprinkle an area FOUR
TIMES greater than any other sprinkler.) By means of the
swiftly revolving arms and intermediate gears the upper part
of the body is made to revolve slowly around, carrying the
hose nozzle, from which a large stream of wateris thrown
far out beyond that thrown by the arms, thereby coverin
four times the-space of any other stationary sprinkler. Wit
an ordinary force of water it will thOrovEny sprinkle a space
of 80 feetin diameter. The hose nozzle and tips on ends of
arms are adjustable, so that it can be adapted to as small a
space as desired. Excepting the legs it is made of solid brass
and nicely nickeled. Most substantial and durable as well as
the most attractive and useiul sprinkler ever made, Price,
$5.00. “~~ 3 .

‘Maid of the Mist ’’—Three-Arm Lawn Sprinkler. _ This fills
the want for a low-priced arm sprinkler; it is compactly and
strongly made with phosphor-bronze bearing, and will cover a
space 48 feet in diameter with suitable pressure of water. The
top and arms are of brass, nickel-plated, stand and legs of
iron, handsomely japanned. The water flows freely through
an unobstructed channel, so there is no clogging. It stands 12
inches high. Price, $1.25.

Rainmaker, with revolving blades,
strongly made. It is one of the cheap-
est and best sprinklers made, and
we would recommend this one where
a first-class sprinkleris wanted. Price,
50c. each.

Four and Eight-Arm Lawn Sprinklers.
This is the best lawn sprinkler made. @&
It can beattached to hose and placed
aDbywhere on the lawn, where it
serves the double purpose of a beau-
tiful fountain and of thoroughly sat-
urating the grass or garden. The
water is distributed in fine drops
over an area of 60 to 100 feet in circumference, according to
the pressure of the water. An ornamental standard, about 4
feet high, is surmounted with long perforated arms, which
revolve, so the beautiful sprays are constantly changing.
Price, for a 4-arm Sprinkler, $3.00; for an 8-arm, $3.50.

MOLE TRAPS.
OlImstead’s Improved Reliable.
The invention consists of the frame A, constructed with two

_ cross bars in which are holesto guide the needle bars BB. At

the lower end of the needle bars is at-
tached a plate to which six needles are
made fast, three on each side of the plate.
To the upper end of the needle bars is at-
tached a platform for the purpose of
holding a weight, either a brick or stone,
which serves to operate the trap: wher
set off by the mole.

Springs are also furnished to operate
the trap. The spring can be readily
attached and detached, it simply being
hooked: to: the “trap, so. that. either a
weight orspring can be used to operateit.

Upon each side-of the frame at C C, pro-
jections are mage which serve as stops
or guides to indicate when the trap is
pushed into the ground the right distance
to insure the catching of the mole, and
also to serve as a support for the trap.
This is a very important feature in mole
traps, for it obviates all guesswork in setting it.

To the frame is attached the lever D, and trigger E, both
made to work loosely on pivots.

This trap is constructed entirely of steel and iron.

Price, $1.50 each; $15.00 per dozen.

Males’ Perfect. There are few things more annoying
to owners of fine lawns or gardens than seeing their beaut
gradually destroyed by moles,and how to get rid of these ani-
mals has heretofore been a puzzling question to many people.

So many mole traps have been sold from time to time, and
most of them comparatively worthless, that many intelligent
people have come to the conclusion that moles cannot be
caught, and that traps are useless. To all such we would
recommend Hales’ Mole Trap, being confident that it will give
perfect satisfaction, and will catch the moles where all other
traps fail. Price, $2.00 each; $18.00 per doz.

New Model. This is the only trap that can be set under
a hotbed frame, as the trap when set, is only 114 inches high.
Price, $1.50 each; $15.00 per doz.

CLEVELAND LAWN WEEDER.

v

y ZZ Ap ae

A chisel blade cuts off the weeds; the trigger holds them
so they can be pulled out. 60 cents each.

PEA, OR VINE TRELLIS.

After a test, covering the last eight. years, the above device
is now offered to the public as the most complete in all points
of any trellis yet produced. It is adapted to the perfect growth
of all (annual) low clambering vines, especially tomatoes,
and is a most attractive feature for the garden. For use, the
Trellis is simply extended to the desired length and placed on
the ground, over, or in proximity to, such plants as are
intended to grow on it.

No stakes are required. To insure stability itis only neces-
sary that when extended the foot of each side should be
distant from the other by a space equal to two-thirds of the
height. Should the Trellis stand 3 feet high, the transverse
base line should then be 2 feet. When so placed, which can be
done in about one-half of one minute, it will so remain until
it is desired to store it away at the close of the season.
Previous to doing which it must be thoroughly cleared of all
extraneous matter (before closing it)in order that little twigs,
bits of vine, etc., may not force the strips apart at the
connections. With ordinary care the Trellis is guaranteed to
be serviceable for at least 10 years. Are furnished in three
sizes. Price, $1.50 each.

A 24-inch mower can

Ue ee

Ball Bearings.
Ten-Inch Wheels.

Triple Gear.
Four-Bladed Reel.

ITS SPECIAL
FEATURES.

Ball Bearings of the very highest grade, exact to
1-1000 of an inch, which reduce the friction astonish-
ingly—even more in a mower than in a bicycle—and
render it possible to use wider machines than hereto-
fore with parallel bearings.

Triple Gear entirely inclosed, so that no dirt or
cut grass can find its way into the pinions and clog
them.

A Soiid Rectangular Frame, that cannot be
twisted or jarred out of parallel; the two side frames
being bound tightly together by means of two cold-
die drawn-steel bolts, which make the most rigid
frame ever built.

A Removable Cutter Bar, which, by loosening
four small screws, may be rolled out of the
machine for sharpening without disturbing the
frame. A very valuable feature, found in no other
make of mowers. This cutter bar is the most rigid
made, owing to its tubular shape, and, being separate

from the frame, enables one to adjust the lower blade
to the reel without twisting the frame out of par-
allel—a common faultin other mowers.

Double Steel Ratchet, like lightning in action,
like adamant in hardness and durability. By using
two pawls in each pinion, the chances of the pawls
engaging the clutch part of the pinion are doubled,
and the durability is increased tenfold, because the
clutch part of the pinion can move so small a dis-
tance before engaging the pawl and impelling the
Knives forward that there is no shock, for the same
reason that you cannot strike a hard _ blow if the ob-
ject is too close. The result is that. the knives cut
the instant you move the mower, a delightful con--
trast from the old-style mowers.

Cold-Die Drawn-Steel Axles; hard and stiff and
true to within 1-1000 of an inch, which, with the cast
iron hub of the wheels, bored and reamed to a perfect
fit, make an ideal bearing—much superior to cast
iron axles in cast iron hubs.

each roll, making the most powerful and
instantaneous driving mechanism ever
put in a lawn mower. Unlike other
mowers, the motion of the bladesis main-
tained even when turning sharp corners.
The height of cut and motion of knives is
under perfect control of the driver from
his seat, and the large rolls (15 inches in
diameter) insure great power and ease of
movement. The self-aligning journal
boxes will be found in this mower only,
and prevent cramping, a very common
fault in Horse Lawn Mowers.

All machines are fitted complete with
Tool Box, Seat, Handles, Shafts and Side
Bar Attachment, which keeps the horse
on the cut grass.

Net prices—30-in., complete, $60.00;
38-in., complete, $75.00.
