BRECK’S LANDSCAPE AND GARDEN SERVICE DEPARTMENTS

Correct Landscape Design is the first step in properly developing a piece of land for private pleasure or public satisfac¬
tion. Our Landscape and Garden Service Departments have been established to meet the demands of home owners who are
looking for expert advice not only in the way of Landscape Design but also relative to the correct planting material to fit
individual needs. Our Landscape Department at Lexington can handle capably and at moderate cost any problem of a
Landscape or Planting nature regardless of size.

Our Garden Service Department which coordinates its work in every way with that of the larger Landscape Department
offers expert advice on any garden problem of moderate size whether it be planning, remodeling, planting, cultivation, or
pest control.

Miss Sally Service, a graduate Landscape Gardener, heads the Garden Service Department and her services are avail¬
able by appointment either at 85 State Street, Boston, or at any reasonably accessible point. Free appointments can be made
for consultation at the office or where out of town appointments are necessary mileage only is charged at a flat rate of ten
cents per mile. Where blue print plans are called for they are charged at moderate rates. Simple sketch plans are free.
Both departments charge on an established basis for superintendence of garden development or planting.

This Outstanding Era

an^ Systematic Sotaiiy
Ecwwk Callectiens
FEB I 1930 ^

The world has changed enormously within the last decade. The Aut^m^j/e iS-.no tdn^gr;ir
luxury; it is a necessity. The Airplane has become a successful and practical commercial
carrier. Radio is universal. The Screen “talks”. We can now telephone Europe. The
question is, what is next?

Agriculture like everything else has passed through this revolutionary period and undergone
changes. In its most advanced form it has, in a large measure, become a problem of volume produc¬
tion. It is becoming more and more specialized. Mechanical inventions and chemical formulae are
now the controlling factor in Agriculture the same as they are in the factories of the world. Agri¬
culture as our grandfathers and fathers knew it is a thing of the past.

How about Horticulture? That is a different story. It too has undergone changes and in certain
directions has become a highly specialized industry but at the same time Horticulture has become a
Profession, an Art, and a Sport. It has turned men and women into Explorers, into Artists, into
Sportsmen. It offers a new form of healthy sporting competition. It has done more. It has
re-created Romance, for through the artifices of Horticulture man can turn an arid waste or the
inside of a barren building into a Garden of Eden almost overnight.

Horticulture as a Sport is perhaps a new idea, hard for the uninitiated to grasp, but what Sport
after all is more sporting? Where can one find in the whole field of Sport greater competition of
keen minds and skilled hands? In the competitive field of Horticulture man must not only strive
against man, but must overcome the forces of Nature as well. Our men, our women, and our children
are bringing the treasures of their gardens to the exhibition table oftener and in greater volume every
year. Why? The sporting instinct. The desire to win. That is the reason.

In keeping with this changing condition of things, we have scoured the gardens of the world for
the newer and the better things and trained eyes have scouted the exhibition tables of the Continent
during the past year for the newest and the best. In this our 1930 catalogue, we present what we
believe to be the most interesting Specialties and Novelties offered in many years by any Seed House
and cur Catalogue as a whole, throughout its gei^eral list, represents the most complete and compre¬
hensive selection of quality Seeds, Nursery Stock, and Garden Requisites that it is possible to bring
together.

In the succeeding pages we have marked with a O those varieties which we know from experience
possess the all important characteristics of Quality, Productivity, Vitality, and Good Habit of Growth.

A rare variety from Korea.
Its flowers appear very

cate pink, passing to

Aster Mauve Cushion

ASTER MAUVE CUSHION

This aster forms a round, cushion-like plant 2 to 2^^ ft. across, and seldom over 9 inches high. The flowers,
are a soft mauve, with silvery white reflections, they measure over 1 inch across, and cover the whole plant
during October and November. Aster mauve cushion is a remarkably fine addition to the growing list of
unusual and beautiful plants for the Rock garden. Price each: 35c; $3.00 for ten.

BLOEMGAARD

A charming spot in our Nursery at Lexington is well worth a
visit at any time from April to November. The replica of a
Dutch Cottage nestles beside the pond and visitors to this
spot during the month of May can see a display of Tulips,
each variety carefully named, making easy a choice of varieties
for planting in one’s own garden. During the Summer months

the Dutch Cottage functions as a Tea House where visitors to
the Nursery may enjoy refreshments while seated in the gar¬
den which surrounds the Cottage. No more restful spot can
be imagined, for towering trees cast their welcome shade over
the Cottage garden and the adjacent flower-rimmed pond.
The Tea House is open from June 1 to Oct. 1.

ering season last of September and early October.

PHILADELPHUS VIRGINAL

One of the finest of the Mock Orange family. Flowers are very large,
double and fragrant, covering this strong growing variety complete¬
ly during the month of June, and continuing more or less during the
entire season. It has sometimes been called the everblooming klock
Orange. Strong plants 90c each ; $8.00 for ten.

HELLEBORUS NIGER
The Christmas Rose

This lovely little evergreen plant gets its name of Christmas Rose,
as it often begins flowering during November and keeps on dur¬
ing the early winter months, although its usual blooming period
is during February and March. The flowers are large and pure
white, sometimes slightly flushed with purple. An excellent plant
for the rock garden. (Illustrated on page 145)

Price each: $1.50; $14.00 for ten.

GYPSOPHILA
'^Bristol Fairy”

The flowers of this new hardy double variety
are two or three times as large as those of
the older double Baby’s Breath. • It makes
an exceedingly handsome plant, and usually
flowers two weeks earlier than the older va¬
riety ; the flowers are well spaced on strong
growing plants. It is practically ever-
blooming, as a new crop of flowers will ap¬
pear when the old flower stalks are cut off.
The flowers of this variety may be cut and
dried like the Everlastings; and in the dried
state they hold their pure white color. Bris¬
tol Fairy, planted in front of a Pink Climb¬
ing Rose and in conjunction with Delphin¬
ium Belladonna creates a most distinctive
and beautiful picture.

Price each: $1.00; $9.00 for ten.

spotted throat. Perfectly hardy.

NURSERY SPECIALTIES

NEW CLIMBING ROSES
MME. GREGOIRE STAECHELIN

The first Climbing Rose to win the Bagatelle Gold Medal
at Bagatelle Gardens, Paris, 1927.

A cross between F'rau Karl Druschki and Chateau cle
CIos Vougeot, having the best qualities of both. The
pointed buds are crimson, and when opening the outer
petals have splashes of crimson, while the flower inside
is a beautiful pearl-pink. It is very fragrant, grows from
10 to 12 feet and has large, healthy foliage. It flowers
in June and continues for a long season. Price each $2.50.

CHAPLIN’S PINK CLIMBER

A new introduction for 1930 which will unquestionably
rank alongside of the superb Ur. W. Van Fleet and
Paul’s Scarlet Climber. Chaplin’s Pink Climber origi¬
nated in the same nursery as Paul’s Scarlet, in fact it is
a cross between this variety and American Pillar. It is
of vigorous growth, perfectly hardy, and the foliage is
exceptionally fine, a deep glossy green. The flowers
are clear rich pink borne profusely in large trusses. In
England this rose has been given the National Rose So¬
ciety gold medal and other noteworthy awards of merit.
Strong plants, $2.50 each.

SPIRAEA TRICHOCARPA

A true aristocrat of the Spiraea family. It is perfectly
hardy and it is therefore one of the best and choicest
shrubs to plant in the shrubbery border or as a specimen
near the house. It forms a somewhat spreading bush,
attaining a height of about six feet. The dome-like clus¬
ters of snow white flowers appear on long arching stems
in the greatest profusion. Strong field-grown plants
2J4-3 ft. $1.00 each; $9.00 for ten.

Mme. Gregoire Staechelin

BUDDLEIA

ALTERNIFOLIA

This lovely Buddleia of compara¬
tively recent introduction is with¬
out doubt one of the most distinc¬
tive and useful additions to our
hardy flowering shrubs. It comes
to us from China, thriving well
in shrubbery borders or as a speci¬
men plant. It is especially valu¬
able on sloping or terraced ground
where the full effect of its pendu¬
lous branches may be seen to the
best advantage. Unlike the more
common Buddleia, the gray-green
leaves are alternately placed
along the arching branches and
the fragrant flowers of lavender-
purple are produced in clusters in
the axils of leaves of the previous
year’s growth. It blooms from
midsummer to frost. It is the
hardiest of all the Buddleias.

Strong plants, $2.00 each.

NOVELTIES and SPECIALTIES FOR 1930

'^California Sunshine”

bust habit bearing single, crested or anemone-

provement over the Sunshine Aster which has

was introduced. We offer the following colors.
Carmine, Flesh, Lavender, Pink, Violet and
Mixed. Packet 35c; % oz. $1.25.

ASTER

''Breck’s Coral Reef”

A remarkable Aster of the Ostrich Feather
type, growing to a height of about one and
one-half feet and producing full, fluffy, medium
sized flowers resembling Japanese Plume
Chrysanthemums. The color, a deep coral
rose, does not blue and is very pretty and dis¬
tinct. This Aster is unexcelled for either bed¬
ding or cutting. Packet 50c.

ASTER

"General Joffre”

A very striking single Aster growing to a
height of about 15 in. and bearing flowers of
intense crimson-scarlet with a bright yellow
disc. This is one of the finest annual flowers
that we know. An exceptional variety for
use in beds and borders as rvell as one of un¬
usual merit as a cut flower. Packet 35c,

ASTER — "Delavayi”

A beautiful Chinese species, close tufts of olive-green foliage, stout
naked stems bearing a large solitary flower, the ray florets are very
thin and inclined to twist ; a delightful lavender-blue with a con¬
spicuous jet-black disc. Before the flower fully develops the ray
florets tie themselves across the disc in a striking manner.

Packet 50c.

ASTER— "Brack’s Dwarf Quilled”

A dwarf Aster producing small perfectly formed flowers, the unusual
quilled petals of which give a new and striking effect. The plants
are of compact form particularly suited to bedding and edging, and
each individual plant in itself forms a neat bouquet. We offer this
fine Aster in mixture only. Packet 50c.

Aster — California Sunshine

ANCHUSA ANNUAL — "Blue Bird”

A new variety of Anchusa from which the straggly habit of the older
annual varieties has been eliminated. The plant is compact about

the top. The latter are of vivid indigo blue and produce a brilliant
effect in any scheme for beds or borders. Packet 50c.

NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES

Dahlia — Coltness Hybrids

DIANTHUS
"Breck’s Geisha Girl”

Several years ago we observed in our trial
grounds a striking type of single flowered dwarf
Dianthus Pink. Since that time, we have given
this Japanese Dianthus further testing and we
now offer it as a Novelty of exceptional merit
under the charming name of “Geisha Girl”. This
selection differs considerably from the ordinary
Dianthus being far more compact in habit of
growth and forming dense bushes from nine to
twelve inches high, completely smothered with
flowers of a truly remarkable variety of color
and markings. Offered in mixture only. Packet
50c.

CALENDULA ^'Campfire”

A new Calendula of vigorous growth, the flowers
which are borne on stout stems, are flat and are
undoubtedly larger than those of any type previ¬
ously introduced. The color is a brilliant orange
with a scarlet sheen and a full yellow center.
Excellent for growing under glass. Packet 50c.

CALENDULA "Radio”

It has been some time since a startling “break”
has occurred in the Calendula family but in Radio
we have an absolutely new form of flower which
is bound to become immensely popular. The
flowers of this variety are globular in shape and
made up of beautifully quilled petals producing a
novel and striking appearance quite unlike any
other Calendula heretofore introduced. The
color of Radio is dark orange but the depth of
the flower accentuates this color, making this
novelty a most interesting subject for the flower
garden. Packet 50c.

DAHLIA — ^'Coltness Hybrids”

This splendid class of single Dahlias produces plants of
neat compact habit averaging about eighteen inches in
height and bearing a full and continuous succession of
bloom from July until frost. The colors range from
crimson to white embracing delicate shades of pink and
rose, as well as yellows, mauve, and shades of scarlet and
purple. Visitors to France have been charmed with the
dwarf bedding Dahlias that they have seen. These
Coltness Hybrids are the ones that they have so much
admired. Packet 35c.

The Outstanding Novelty for 1930
SWEET WIVELSFIELD
A New Race of Hardy Annual

This new Annual is an interesting cross between Dian¬
thus Allwoodii and Sweet William, having characteris¬
tics of both parents yet distinct in appearance from
either. “Sweet Wivelsfield” is an English Novelty of¬
fered this year for the first time.

We have extremely interesting reports on this new An¬
nual relative to the wonderful colorings, the size of the
trusses, and the perpetual flowering qualities of the flow¬
ers. We are confident that “Sweet Wivelsfield” will be¬
come as popular as Antirrhinums, Stocks, Asters, and
other equally well known garden sul:>jects.

The habit of this plant and its behavior in England fore¬
casts it as a sensational introduction for growing under
American conditions. Few plants can compare with it
for wealth of color and long season of bloom and it ap¬
pears to be remarkably interesting for exhibition pur¬
poses, as flowers cut for the English exhibition table have
been fresh at the end of a week’s show. “Sweet Wivels¬
field” being a new plant is offered in mixture only.
Packet of 30 seeds, $1.00.

its distinctive color becomes an unusual subject for

A new strain of the annual variety Exquisite Pink retaining' the same charming color — a delicate soft pink
shaded salmon — but in a vastly improved form which compares favorably with the stately perennial varie¬
ties. It grows to a height of about twenty-four inches and is particularly suitable for pot culture, as
well as bedding, on account of its close branching habit. Packet 50c.

LARKSPUR— "Exquisite Rose”

A lovely rose pink, several shades deeper than Exquisite Pink Improved. The plants have the same com¬
pact but upright habit and bear the same resemblance as the latter to the form of the Perennial Delphinium,

LARKSPUR

France”

A new Annual Larkspur of more
vigorous habit and taller growth

present a wonderful appearance.

a darker shade. Excellent for cut¬
ting or garden decoration.

tion, Packet 50q,

ANNUAL FLOWER SEEDS

IBRECK’S

Annual Plants are those which go through all stages of their growth in the open ground
from germination to the final seed ripening. They form a very useful class, and are valuable
for border decoration whether sown in small clumps or used for lines of color. Annuals are
also invaluable for filling in gaps in the perennial border. For summer display they may be
sown in the open ground in April or May, or for later bloom in June and July. The greatest
cause of failure in the growing of Annuals is due to their not being thinned sufficiently; dwarf
sorts should be thinned out to about 4 inches apart ; medium dwarf sorts to 6 inches ; and taller
sorts from 10 to 15 inches. This allows the plants to branch and they will then flower for a
longer period. Cultivation of the surface soil and the judicious use of Pulverized Poultry
Manure and Bone Fertilizer and watering during dry periods will result in continuous bloom.

Half-Hardy Annuals are those which require artificial heat in the early stages of their
growth but which afterwards should be planted out to flower and ripen their seed in the open
air. Many of our most beautiful Annuals belong in this class. These Half-Hardy Annuals
should be sown under glass during March and April, care being taken to transplant them at
an early stage in order to prevent them from becoming “leggy.” Over watering will cause the
plants to “damp offi” They should be well hardened off in a cold frame before planting out.

This P throughout the Catalogue denotes varieties which we
especially recommend. Please order flower seeds by number.
All varieties are alphabetically arranged. See index if in doubt.

ACROCLINIUM

The Acrocliniums are perhaps the most valuable of the ever¬
lastings, bearing pretty rose-pink and white flowers which
should be cut before they become fully expanded, and dried for
Winter decorations. They are among the most rapid growing
annuals, flowering in- six or seven weeks from the time of
sowing. 1 foot.

equal to an^^ for purity, growth, and trueness of color. Our
strains of Antirrhinum have been trued up as far as it is
humanly possible. Antirrhinums thrive in almost any good
garden soil, and the three classes, Tall, Intermediate, and
Tom Thumb, may easily be grown as annuals by sowing in
heat during January and February. Late sowings may be
made until May for late summer blooms. The Intermediate
class is the best for forcing under glass.

A mixture producing gigantic flowers often 5 or more inches in diameter, of an astonishing variety of colors.

netted, on a white, pink or lavender ground. Flowers are beautifully ruffled and frilled. Mixed colors, packet 75 cts.

a decided velvety sheen. Packet 50 cts.

PANSIES

Many years of scientific culture, hybridization and selection in raising Pansies have gradually evolved a superior race of luxu¬
riant, robust growth, and deep-rooting, drought-resisting quali lies. The flowers have also correspondingly improved in size,
substance, form, and variety of colors. The varieties we offer are of the Giant Type, many wonderfully marked and blotched,
and all of the most brilliant and attractive colorings. Pansies thrive best in cool moist semi-shaded positions. Seed should
be sown in the early Spring for good flowering plants in the Autumn, or in July or August for strong plants the following
Spring. For fertilizing we recommend Bone Fertilizer and Pulverized Sheep Manure.

06295 Breck’s Boston Prize Mixed. A distinct type of
Pansies of greatest merit. The plants are of compact
bushy form. They root unusually deeply and in conse¬
quence are not susceptible to drought and heat. The

flowers upright. Flowers are giant in size and show a
profusion of colors. Pkt. 50c; 54 oz. $2.50.

POPPY

The Annual Poppies are a class of flowers having a wide range of beautiful colors from pure white through the most delicate
hlush tints to the brilliant shades of rose and scarlet. There are also deep crimsons as well as many flowers striped, blotched,
or edged with harmonizing and contrasting shades.

Our new strains of Poppies produce softer and more pleasing shades than we have offered hitherto. Sowing in May, and again
several times during Spring, produces continuous bloom from early Summer until frost. The seed should be sown where the
plants are to bloom, as Poppies do not take kindly to transplanting. Cover seed very lightly, and firm the soil with a flat board.
When large enough thin out the plants. A sandy loam and early Spring sowings produce best flowers.

SWEET PEAS

Sweet Peas today are among the most popular and beautiful of all garden annuals. They have been vastly
improved in the last few years and each season finds n ew colors and new forms in this family. Our list com¬
prises all the latest Novelties and all the choicest varieties sent out of late years which have become noted for
their color and the immense size of their flowers. As n ew varieties have been added, old varieties have been
dropped from the list, a practice which insures our customers getting the very finest large flowering varieties
which give three to four blooms on a stem.

CULTURAL DIRECTIONS

Sweet Peas require a cool moist soil with good under drainage.
They should be grown if possible in full sunshine and where
there is a good circulation of fresh air. It is most desirable to
prepare the ground in the Autumn inasmuch as Sweet Peas
should be planted the moment the frost is out of the ground in
the Spring.

During the month of April select a sunny day for sowing the
seeds which should be sown at a depth of 5 inches from the
top of the trench. Sow the seeds as evenly as possible leaving
the Peas from one to two inches apart in the trench. Cover the
seeds with two inches of soil, and fill in the balance of the

trench as they grow, until the soil is level with the surface.
During dry periods do not fail to thoroughly water the Sweet
Peas once a week. Syringing with cold water will prevent Red
Spider. Spray with Evergreen if and when lice attack the
plants. Fungtrogen or Bordeaux mixture will prevent mildewu
During their growth if the weather be dry, the vines will bene¬
fit by being watered twice a week. About the end of June the
surface of the soil should be well mulched with good decom¬
posed manure or cocoanut fibre. To get the best results the
seed should be inoculated with Stimugerm before planting.
Stimugerm will insure a strong and vigorous vine.

There can be no greater joy than to create a garden plan through the agency of one's own
imagination and then to work ont that plan by actually growing from seed the special va¬
rieties desired. For many years we have laid great stress on the selection and quality of our
Perennial Flower Seeds realizing that this particular branch of gardening was rapidly be¬
coming one of country-wide interest. _

In the following list we offer, we believe, all the varieties of Perennials that have played a
part in fashioning the old and famous gardens of New England. For your guidance we brief¬
ly touch on the distinction between Biennials and Perennials and suggest methods of culture
long practised by those who make the growing of Perennials their profession.

PERENNIALS

Or as they are often termed
“Herbaceous Plants,” go on liv¬
ing and increasing for a number
of years, the stems dying down
each season and coming again
from the roots each Spring.
Perennials are easily raised
from seed which should be sown
during late Spring and early
Summer in the cold frame,
d'hese seedlings should be ready
for planting out into beds in
Autumn and then transferred
to their permanent quarters in
Spring.

ACANTHUS— Bear’s Breech

Suitable for backgrounds of borders
and for sub-tropical effects. Leaves
large, rough, and beautifully out¬
lined. 3 feet.

double flowers which are borne in
clusters; blooms all Summer. An
excellent plant for rock work. 2 feet.

proved variety. Pkt. 25c; Ys oz.

ACONITUM— Monkshead

border. 3 feet.

BIENNIALS

Aquilegia

Are plants which require two
seasons to come to full maturi¬
ty, after which they ripen theii
seed and die ofif. Perhaps the
best' mode of treatment is to
sow in frames in the latter part
of June, during July, and up to
the middle of August, and win¬
ter them in boxes ; plants
treated in this way will flower
early in Summer.

UNIT GROWN POTATOES
GREEN MOUNTAIN

(Martin’s Stock; Certified by Agricultural Dept, of the
State of Maine.)

Last season, Mr. C. R. Martin the originator of the Tuber
Unit method of culture induced us to try a carload of his
Tuber Unit Grown Certified Green Mountain Potatoes. Now,
after careful trials, we are convinced that this form of seed
represents the biggest development yet seen in Potato culture.
It, therefore, gives us the greatest pleasure to catalog this
Tuber Unit Seed Stock for the first time and thus make it
generally available to our many patrons and friends.

Mr. Martin, has been for many years developing a selected
strain of Certified Green Mountains and he has worked out a
system of planting each potato as a unit. In other words,
each individual potato is cut and planted by itself, a short
space being left in the row to indicate the separate unit. This
allows of the entire potato being destroyed if any disease de¬
velops in the individual unit, and the result is a most superior
type of Certified Green Mountain, medium in size, remarkably
uniform in shape with square end, smooth, clean, and certified
to be practically free from all disease (see illustration).

The stock this year is of exceptional quality. The supply,
unfortunately, is somewhat limited. We recommend these
Lhrit Grown Potatoes unreservedly. Prices: Peck $1.50;
Bu. $5.00; 2 bu. $9.00.

PARSLEY — Green Gem

with numerous other strains. The plant is
of compact growth with foliage of an ex¬
ceptionally deep rich green color and ex¬

ARTICHOKE

( i-i.TVRAi. Directions. The artichoke is a native of southern
r.urope and Northern Africa and is not dependably hardy in
N'ew England and the more northerly parts of the United
.States. Cdohe Artichokes require to be grown on a warm, very
well drained and liberally manured piece of ground. From seeds
sttirted under glass in January strong plants in 4 inch pots can
be secured and gradually hardened off ready to plant out towards
the end of April. Allow at least 2 feet between the plants and
3 feet between the rows. Such plants will produce a very fair
crop the same season but there will be much variation in the
([uality of the heads produced. The best plan is to mark and
preserve the very best, lifting these in late Fall before freezing
up weather and storing them in a cold frame or unheated cellar.
In Spring plants may be carefully divided and planted out.
Only in this way can we be sure of securing a first class strain
of this e.Ncellent vegetable which apart from its value on the

tables for exhibition. From seeds sown outdoors plants will

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE— Helianthus tuberosus

Cultural Directions. There are both white and purple forms of this tuberous rooted
member of the Sunflower family. Its use as a table vegetable is rather limited. It thrives
extremely well on light sandy soil and is absolutely hardy. It is in fact liable to become
a pest as no amount of freezing appears to injure the tubers. Either cooked or raw there
is a moderate call for the tubers to he served cold for salading purposes. For the feeding
of farm stock Jerusalem artichokes have considerable value, hogs are particularly fond of
them. Plant in rows 3-4 feet apart, and allow a foot between the tubers.

ASPARAGUS

Cultural Directions. For over 2,000 years Asparagus has been cultivated in Europe.
It was popular amongst both the ancient Greeks and Romans and has attained great
popularity in America. While growing on almost all types of soil it is most at home in a
light and rather sandy loam. If soil chances to be heavy and the ground level it is a
good plan to cultivate in beds containing two rows each, raising these a few inches above
the level of the ground. Where the soil is suitable and drainage good rows can run from
3-4 feet apart. It is absolutely necessary to thoroughly prepare ground for this vegetable
by liberal manurin.g and deep ploughing, digging or trenching. Cow or stable manure where
obtainable is the best to use. As an asparagus planting will last for fully 20 years if
land is well prepared at the outset, and suitable care is given each year, it most assuredly
pays to treat the soil liberally. Planting can be done in both Fall and Spring, but April
and early May is the best period. Both one and two year old plants may be used, the first
named giving the best results. Trenches should be opened out to a depth of 6-8 inches
and plants laid 15-18 inches apart. The roots should be spread out and covered rather
lightly with light soil and as growth advances additional filling in may be done until the
trenches are entirely levelled. There is a tendency today to plant less deeply and results
are apparently quite satisfactory. No shoots should be cut from plantings the first year,
and it is better to defer cutting until the third season. It is customary to discontinue
cutting once Peas are in season. In Spring a surfacing of nitrate of soda is helpful, also
a dressing of coarse fine salt. When cutting ceases a further top-dressing of a good chemi¬
cal fertilizer rich in both nitrogen and potash will be of great benefit. In late Fall after
the tops have been cut down a broadcasting of stable manure will be of great value. Seeds
should be sown in early Spring in drills and covered 2 inches. Seedlings are best thinned
to' 3 inches apart. These plants will be ideal to use the following Spring for new plantings.
Plant rust-resistant varieties like Argenteuil and the Washingtons where rust is trouble¬
some. Spraying or dusting with aresenate of lead after cutting ceases will care for the
asparagus beetle. One ounce of seed will sow 60 feet of drill; 5 lbs. to the acre.

BUSH BEANS

All Beans 25c per packet postpaid except as noted.

Cui-TUHAL Directions. Sowings of string beans can be made from April 19 until August 1
in the vicinity of Boston and very rarely is the first sowing injured by frost. In an
experience of over 30 years, in only one year were early sowings injured. Occasionally
August 1 sowings may not mature but in the case of open weather during the Autumn it
pays to sow late. Use green podded varieties for the first sowings as they are somewhat
hardier than the wax type and their flavor is always superior to that of the wax podded
varieties. Seeds may be sown singly in drills but a much better plan is to drop several
seeds in hills 18 inches apart. Seeds should be covered two inches and rows should be at
least 24 inches apart and 30 inches is better. To ensure a constant succession of tender
beans sowings should be made at intervals of 10-14 days. Stir the soil frequently and
lightly but not when foliage is damp as working amongst them will develop rust, especially
is this true of the wax podded section. Two pounds of Beans will sow 100 feet of drill;
75 lbs. to the acre.

ENGLISH VARIETIES

CuLTUKAL Directions. These beans, which are very popular and largely culti¬
vated abroad, are very much hardier than all other varieties of the bean family
and to succeed best with them sowings should be made just as early in the Spring
as the ground has dried and is workable. Seeds should be sown in drills 4 to 5
inches deep and single seeds spaced 5 to 6 inches apart. Pinch tops out when a
goodly number of pods are formed. It is very necessary to watch plants closely
about the flowering time as black fly invariably attacks these beans and sprayings
with Evergreen or any nicotine solution are essential to the well being of the
plants. If this is neglected the crop is sure to be a failure.

safely be sown from May 18-25, the larger podded varieties
near Boston cannot safely be sown before the first week in
June. Frequently sowings made even in late May will rot if
we get a cold rainstorm soon after sowing. Hills give better
results than drills with all the Limas although single seeds
8- 10 inches apart will give splendid crops. Two pounds of
Beans will sow 150 feet of drill; 75 lbs. to the acre.

CuLTURAi, Directions. It is best to place poles in position before sowing seeds of any of the climbing beans.
Seeding should be done later than, in the case of dwarf string beans, and the Lima section are better not sown
before early June. Lise 6 to 8 seeds to a hill well spread apart. If sown more heavily thinning should be done.
In heavy soil it is an excellent plan to slightly raise the ground for the seeds around each pole. Varieties other
than Limas may be sown 10 to 14 days earlier. That popular variety Kentucky Wonder may be sown by the
middle of May also the Scarlet Runner varieties. Two pounds of Limas will plant 100 hills, two pounds of the

Cultural Directions. Both Mangel-Wurzels and Sugar Beets are a very
valuable crop for the dairyman and poultryman. The latter are greatly used
abroad for sugar production but they are also splendid feeds for birds as
well as for animals. In Europe Mangel Wurzels find a place on every farm
and their culture is on a tremendous scale. A greater quantity might well be
produced here. Both plants require deeply ploughed and well enriched soil

10 inches apart. The roots require an entire season to develop and often attain
a great size. The long varieties like Mammoth Long Red, give the heaviest
yields. One ounce v/ill sow 50 feet of drill. Six to eight pounds of seed are
required per acre.

New England Farmers and Dairymen will do well to in¬
crease their plantings of Mangels and Sugar Beets as this
crop is a very economical one. In England, Scotland, Hol¬
land and Denmark where Corn for silage or grain is un¬
known and where other grain feeds are available only in
limited quantities. Mangels and Sugar Beets have come to
be a most valuable crop for stock feeding. The New Eng¬
land farmer can learn a lesson from this inasmuch as these
European countries produce the very best of cattle for

beef and dairy purposes. New England should grow larger
quantities of Mangels and Sugar Beets as the land may be
readily adapted to the production of a large tonnage at low
cost. Poultrymen also have found Sugar Beets and Man¬
gels a valuable crop. For maintaining the health and vitality
of their flock of sheep. Sheep Raisers have found these
roots a much relished winter feed. The Fertilizer we recom¬
mend for these root crops is Bradley’s Complete Manure
10% Potash. For prices and descriptions see page 159.

BEETS

Ci'i.TURAL Directioxs. a light rich soil is essential to the production of good beets.
Fre.sh manure should be avoided or the roots will be very scabby. Old well decayed
manure and a fertilizer rich in potash are ideal for beets. The first sowing outdoors can be
made just as soon as the soil has dried sufficiently. Beets love a cool soil and temperatures a
few degree.s below freezing will not harm them. Seeds should be sown thinly and covered 1
inch. Rows may be run as close as IS inches apart where intensive cropping is prac¬
ticed. Successive sowings can be made until late July; roots will continue to develop
until the end of Octolier. Where very early beets are desired sowings may he made in
frames and by this method a month will be gained by allowing them to develop under
glass. Seedlings can also be pricked outdoors about the end of April, heading the leaves
back at planting time. These will come into .season well in advance of the outdoor sown
crop. One ounce of seed will sow 50 feet of drill; 6 lbs. to the acre.

Brussels Sprouts Long Island Mammoth

Beet Early Wonder

BROCCOLI

Cultural Directions. This Vegetable is very similar in habit
to the Cauliflower. This useful vegetable is often referred to
as the hardy Cauliflower. It thrives under the same conditions
which will produce good Cauliflowers. In Europe Broccoli is
in season from Autumn until early Summer, there being Au¬
tumn, Winter and Spring types. In America its true merits
are just being recognized. In addition to the white flowered
types there are others producing green heads which are popu¬
lar on the European continent. These are meeting with much
favor here. Seeds of the various flowering Broccoli should be
sown about the middle of May and treated like Cauliflowers.
Plants lifted before weather becomes too severe can be planted
on the floor of a cool but frost-proof cellar where immature
heads will develop. One ounce of seed will produce about 1500
plants; 8 oz. to the acre.

©ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING. Very much
prized by Italian gardeners. The head is a com¬
pact cluster of flower buds which are bluish
green in color. When the main head is cut the
side branches produce small compact flower
clusters. Grows very vigorously in Massachu¬
setts. Pkt. 50c; oz. $2.00.

Early Purple Cape. Very hardy; heads medium in
size and compact. Pkt. 25c; oz. $1.00.

White Cape. Like purple Cape, but of creamy white
color. Pkt. 25c; oz. $1.00.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Cultural Directions. Brussels Sprouts represent one of the
most interesting varieties in the Cabbage family. While young
they closely resemble common Cabbage but as they develop
their long stems, small sprouts like minature Cabbages are
thickly clustered round them. Seeds should be sown under glass
in March, or not later than April 20 outdoors for best results.
Late sowings will not produce plants carrying the solid sprouts
so much desired. Plant out on rich land and allow a yard be¬
tween the rows and as much between the plants. Planted more
closely sprouts will develop poorly. In late summer break off
the lower leaves, this allows the heads to develop better and
permits the easier removal of them when sufficiently hard. In
order to secure the best quality of Brussels Sprouts it is all
important to secure the very best strains of seed. Brussels
■Sprouts are very hardy and withstand quite severe frost. One
ounce of seed produces about 1500 plants; 8 oz. to the acre.

VEGETABLE SEEDS

CABBAGE

Cultural Directions. Cabbage is one of the most valu¬
able of all our vegetable crops. To attain a maximum of
success it is needful to give them a deep rich and well
drained soil. If the soil is at all wet or in a sour condition
plants will speedily develop club root. For an early crop
seeds should be sown under glass in January or February
and seedlings should be gradually hardened off and planted
out after the middle of April. For the winter crop May 10
to 25 is a suitable time to make sowings. Plants should be
transplanted not later than the middle of July.

The winter varieties need more space for their
proper development than the early ones, and
rows should be 30 to 36 inches apart and plants
24 inches apart in the rows. The Drumhead
Cabbages require more space than such va¬
rieties as Ballhead and Stonehead. Both Red
and Savoy Cabbages demand much the same
treatment as late or winter white Cabbages.

One ounce of seed should produce about 2500
plants; 5 oz. to the acre.

seed. If started after the middle of May and until late June nice heads will
be produced. Heads are usually tied together in order to blanche the inside
leaves.

CARROTS

Cultural Directions. The short stump rooted Early French horn type of
Carrot is the best for forcing in Frames and for a very early outdoor crop.
Seeds may be sown thinly in drills and covered quite lightly. Thick sowing
will mean much extra labor in thinning. The rows of early Carrots can go
as close as a foot apart, but later varieties such as Oxheart and Chantenay
should have 18 inches, or even more. The ideal soil for the production of
clean, smooth carrots is a light, sandy loam which has been well enriched

for an earlier crop. Rank fresh manure should never be used. The first
outdoor sowing can be made early in April and the main winter seeding
should be made during May. Sowings of the short stump rooted varieties
can be continued until quite late in July in the latitude of Boston. In order
to prevent the tops of the carrots from becoming green by exposure to the
air, sufKcient soil should be pulled up around them to cover the roots. This
gives much more attractive roots and for exhibition purposes is necessary.

One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 4 lbs. to the acre.

©BRECK’S MARKET GARDEN DANVERS HALF-
LONG. A special stock obtained after many years’ work in
selecting and growing the most desirable strain of stump-
rooted, deep orange Half-Long type. Our market garden

OBRECK’S HUTCHINSON. Considered by local market
gardeners the best strain of Carrot. Hutchinson is a selec¬

price on the Boston Market. For this reason, it is most
difflcult to secure a satisfactory stock of seed for the local
demand, as growers prefer to market their roots and not

undertake the risk attendant upon producing seed under
New England conditions. Hutchinson’s Strain is from 2 to
3 inches longer than Danvers and holds its “fullness” well
down to the tip. It is a blunt-pointed carrot always. In color
it is slightly darker than the Danvers. Yield enormous. Pkt.
10c; oz. 60c; ^ lb. $2.25.

Carrot Chantenay

CAULIFLOWER

CuLTURAi, Directions. This delicious vegetable demands a rich soil like
Cabbage, and if the soil is well drained it will thrive in soil which is moist
during the summer. For an early crop seeds can be started under glass in
January and the seedlings planted in frames which contain a good bed of
manure below the soil. Grown in this way splendid heads can be produced in
May and early June if an abundance of water is given. Plants for field culture
should go out a little later than Cabbages, as Cauliflowers are somewhat less
hardy. As a rule the early outdoor plantings are at best but partially suc¬

cessful. Much better heads are obtained from sowings which are made in the
open from May 20 to June 1. When transplanting the seedlings, allow 24
inches between the plants and run rows a yard apart. To preserve the pure
white heads, which are so much appreciated, plantings should be gone over
twice a week and the leaves tied together on all plants which are developing
their heads. Sometimes leaves are broken over the heads, but tying the leaves
together makes a more complete protection. One ounce of seed should pro¬
duce about 2500 plants; S oz. to the acre.

OBRECK’S WHITE BOUQUET. For early or for main
crop, those who have grown it, private and market garden¬
ers alike, agree that Breck’s White Bouquet Cauliflower has
no peer. It will head when other varieties fail; moreover, it
is a strain well adapted to forcing under glass during Win¬
ter and Spring. The plants are comparatively short stemmed,
have small leaves, and produce medium to large close-
grained, snowy-white heads, of the finest quality. We feel
confident that no better strain has ever been developed, and

CELERIAC

Cultural Directions. Celeriac is not very much grown in America but it
IS very much prized in Europe. It is commonly referred to as the “Turnip
Rooted Celery.” Seeds must be started early in Spring in light rather rich
soil. Germination is rather slow as compared with celery. When seedlings
are three inches high transplant into flats, or a frame, and later transfer to
permanent quarters, allowing 8 to 9 inches between the plants. Soil must be
rich as with celery and in dry weather waterings will prove very beneficial.
Roots may he protected and kept outdoors, but a better plan is to store them
in moi.st sand in a cool cellar. Celeriac is used for flavoring soups. It can
also be cooked and served with a white sauce or boiled and allowed to cool.
It then may be sliced and used as a salad with oil and vinegar.

Large Prague. Roots large, turnip shaped. Plants vigorous
and hardy. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; ^ lb. $1.50.

CELERY

Cultural Directions. The celery crop in America is an e.xtremely important
and valuable one. To successfully grow this plant heavily manured land is
most essential. At one time the European plan of growing in trenches was
followed and is still practised on many Private Estates. Just as good results
may be attained by level culture which is practised commercially. There are
grave dangers in the trench system, especially where the soil is very heavy
tor torrential rainstorms in Summer will cause water to lie in the trenches
and this will ruin the plants if the storm is followed by a period of strong
sunshine. Sowings before late February will result in many plants bolting
to seed, -..especially if a moist spell should follow a very dry one. Therefore
in late February sowings of Easy Blanching and other early varieties should
be made, pricking seedlings out into flats of rich soil, for planting out with
the advent of settled weather. The main crop for winter use should be sown
in a frame, or even outdoors in May. If seed is planted outdoors it should
be where the seed bed can be regularly watered. Water is very essential to
the production of good Celery plants. The winter varieties should be planted
out during July, preferably the early portion of that month, but very good
success may be secured by planting as late as the first half of August. Ama¬
teurs find it convenient to grow celery in double rows spaced 18 inches apart
with the plants set 8 inches apart in the rows. Under field culture single
rows are preferred. Constant cultivation and spraying to prevent blight are
two necessary factors. The early varieties are best blanched by means of
boards 12 to 15 inches high which are set on edge on either side of the rows
and held in position by occasional cross sticks or by driving short stakes on
the outer sides of them. Very much cleaner looking celery is secured from
board blanching although it lacks the sweetness and nuttiness of that banked
later with soil. It is unwise to bank soil about plants during very hot
weather. This will often induce rot and in moist weather worms will tend to
discolor the stalks. With the advent of cool weather banking should pro¬
ceed at intervals, until plants are practically covered. Before weather be¬
comes too severe Celery should be stored in sheds, frames or cool cellars for
use during the winter. Artificial heat should never be used in any storage
place. The roots should be packed in earth and the stalks should stand up¬
right and any dead or decaying foliage should be removed before the plants
are stored. Careful ventilation and a low temperature, just above freezing,
are needed to ensure the successful wintering of celery. One ounce of seed
should produce about 3000 plants; 4 oz. to the acre.

SWEET CORN

Cultural Directions. For a very early crop Sweet Corn can be started under glass in pots and
planted out with the advent of settled weather. It is possible to secure pickings two weeks earlier
m this way. The first outdoor sowing of the early varieties can be made on warm well dried soil
as early as April 20. Only occasionally will this sowing be injured by frost; even though it
should be killed it costs but little to resow. Sowings of the tall varieties like Stowell’s Evergreen
may be made until early July, but the early varieties can be sown as late as July 15 and some¬
times even later in the vicinity of Boston. While corn is often sown in drills 2J4 to 4 feet apart
according to the variety, a better plan is to sow the seed in hills three feet apart, as there is a
better root anchorage in hill cultivation and the stalks are far less liable to blow over during
moist, windy weather. Allow 4 to 5 plants to each hill. Where crows or squirrels trouble the seeds
the best plan is to spread the seed in a box and treat with Stanley’s Crow Repellant.. The seeds
thus treated will be free from the attacks of birds or animals. One pound of seed will plant 100
feet of drill, or about 150 hills; 12 lbs. to the acre.

CORN SALAD
Fetticus or Lamb’s Lettuce

Cultural Directions. A salad plant of great merit and of the easiest possible culture. Each plant
forms a rosette of tender green succulent leaves that connoisseurs of good salads highly prize
either alone or when combined with chopped Beet roots. Seeds should be sown in early Spring in
rows fifteen inches apart and if given high cultivation the crop should be ready in six to eight
weeks. During hot Summer weather this crop will bolt to seed, but sowings in August will give
splendid salading in October and the plants may be covered with straw and kept in fine condition
until Thanksgiving. Tn favored locations the jilants from late sown seed may be carried through
the Winter so that an early Spring crop may be enjoyed. One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill.

CHICORY

Cultural Directions. The Witloof Type is grown almost entirely for
salad purposes, being eaten like Cos Lettuce. Sow the seed in a deep, well
prepared soil, during the latter part of May in rows 18 inches apart. Thin
the plants to 6 inches apart in the row. In late Fall the roots should be lifted,
tops cut off to Vi inch from crown and then graded as to size, large, medium
and small. Discard the small roots, save only the large and medium sized
roots. The roots are then placed in a trench 10 inches deep in the green¬
house or hot bed and covered with fine soil or sand to a depth of 6 or 9 inches
until such time as the roots are to he forced. After a proper soil moisture and
air temperature has been supplied the tops should be ready to cut in about
four weeks. The large rooted Chicory should be grown in the same manner as
Carrots. This is the Chicory of commerce used to mix with coffee. The roots
arc taken up, washed, cut in small pieces and carefully dried before being
used.

always keep Cucumbers closely picked. The long English Cucumbers of the
Telegraph type are not suitable for outdoor culture. They succeed finely in
frames and greenhouses if given an abundance of water and occasional soak-
ings with liquid manure. Dust plants when young with arsenate of lead as
a protection against the striped cucumber beetle, and spray or dust with

FLORENCE OR SWEET FENNEL
(FINOCCHIO)

Cultural Directions. This delicious Italian vegetable has grown very
much in favor in recent years'. The leaf bases form the portion which is so
highly prized, being sometimes boiled and occasionally cut up and used in a
raw state for salading purposes. It is unwise to sow very early or the greater
portion of the plants will run to seed. Seed started early in June, and sown
in drills and thinned out to 8 inches apart, will develop fine bases which are
improved in flavor by hilling up with soil as cool weather approaches.

delicate than Celery.

Cultural Directions, The Kales are much the hardiest of the Brassica
family and will sometimes withstand the rigors of a New England winter.
While the bulk of the varieties grown carry green foliage, the variegated
section with leaves in a variety of colors is very attractive and excellent for
garnishing purposes, the colors reach their greatest beauty after we have
had a few frosts. The green curled varieties require several freezings to
improve their flavor. They are especially good in Spring when they throw out
quantities of side shoots. Sow seeds not earlier than May 15 and plant out
in rows a yard apart allowing 2 feet between the plants. One ounce of seed
will sow 150 feet of drill; 6 oz. to the acre.

EGG-PLANT

Cultural Directions. Few vegetables are more tender than Egg-plants and planting out is unsafe
before June 5 to 15. They demand very heavily manured ground and very much better growth will be
made and fruits more freely produced if two liberal fork-fulls of cow manure are placed beneath each
plant when setting. Plants need to be spaced 3x3 feet to permit their proper development. Sow seeds in
a greenhouse or hotbed about the end of March, and prick off into flats of rich soil, or into Growell pots
or into a frame, allowing at least 8 inches each way between the plants. The plants when being set should
be very carefully handled, so as to avoid checking their growth. Egg-plants want a warm well drained
piece of land and prefer light to heavy soils. One ounce of seed should produce about 1000 plants; 5 oz.

ENDIVE

Cultural Directions. This is one of our most useful salading plants. It requires a
light, rich soil to be seen at its best. While sowings may be started as early as the end of
April, the really worthwhile plants are not to be had until late Summer or Autumn.
Seed for this crop should be sown July 15 to August 1. Do not tie up too many plants at
a time. It requires 2 to 3 weeks to properly blanch the hearts. For Winter use heads may
be lifted with balls of earth and planted in cold frames and cellars. Another plan is to
lift when absolutely dry, lay in a frost-proof cellar and cover plants entirely with dry
sand, this prevents all rotting and plants may be preserved a long time in this way. One
ounce of seed will sow 150 feet of drill; 3 lbs. to the acre.

Cultural Directions. This interesting member of the Brassica family iti
often referred to as the “Turnip Rooted Cabbage.” Seeds may be sown thinly
in shallow drills in early Spring and up to August 1st for a late crop.
Several successive sowings are necessary during the season as the tubers soon
get hard in hot dry weather. Their flavor resembles that of turnips but is
rather more delicate. The roots must be used while rather small and when a
knife or needle will easily puncture them. The Spring and Autumn sowings
yield much the best roots. One ounce of seed will sow 150 feet of drill; 2 lbs.
to the acre.

LETTUCE

CuLTUR.u. Directions, Lettuce is
by far the most important of all
salad plants. It is cultivated to a
great extent under glass as well
as in the open. For an early crop
seeds may he sown as early as
January and transferred to hot¬
beds after being first pric'red o!T
into flats 2 inches apart each way.
Seeds may he sown outdoors from
the time frost has gone until the
end of August, using the Forcing
or Standard Heading Varieties
for early and late sowings and
the Crisp Heading Varieties for
Summer use. This vegetable de¬
mands a soil rich in nitrogen
which is best furnished in the
form of well decomposed stable
manure. Lettuce will simply re¬
fuse to grow satisfactorily and
will not form heads in a soil de¬
ficient in plant food. The most
difficult period of the year to se¬
cure good heads is the midsum¬
mer period. Watering is neces¬
sary during hot, dry weather. As
Winter approaches plants from
late sowings which have not
headed can be protected by cov¬
erings of dry leaves or straw.
They may also be lifted and
stored in frames. It is possible to
winter Lettuce in frames if suit¬
able protection is afforded over
the glass and the sides are
banked. Cos Lettuce o.- F.omaine
is of upright habit and generally
self folding. It usually forms a
lai'ge and quite solid heart. Its
treatment should he the same as
advised for the Standard Head¬
ing Varieties. One ounce to 250
feet of drill should produce about
4000 plants; 3 lbs. to the acre.

LEEK

Cultural Directions. Where large leeks, suitable for exhibition purposes, are de¬
sired, seeds may be started under glass, but very good sized stems may be had from
outdoor sowings made in April along with onions. The flavor of Leeks resembles that
of onions but is milder. When transplanting seedlings cut hack their tops quite
severely; this induces a much better start. The finest leeks of exhibition size are grown
in trenches. The soil for them needs heavy manuring and plants should not stand more
closely than 10 to 12 inches apart. Where smaller heads are desired 8 inches between
the plants suffices. To insure the enormous white leeks which are so attractive in
vegetable displays, and which have an improved flavor, stalks should be hilled up with
soil as advised for celery. Leeks are very hardy, and are often left outdoors all win¬
ter, but for convenience they are customarily stored in sheds or cellars where they are
covered with soil. One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; 4 lbs. to the acre.

HERBS

Sweet, Pot, Medicinal

Cultural Directions. There is a rapidly increasing interest in
all of the sweet smelling herbs in America today and Herb Gardens
are becoming quite popular. As the great majority of these plants
are of very easy culture there would seem to be no valid reason for
their not being grown in a greater number of even very small
gardens. We recommend to all Herb growers that they get the book
Culinary -Herbs by ]\I. G. Rains, as culture varies considerably
with different varieties.

MELONS

Cultural Directions. The ideal soil for musk-melons
is a light hut rich sandy soil. Ground well manured the
the previous year is especially desirable. For an early
crop seeds may be started indoors in Growell pots, on
pieces of turf, or in common 4 inch clay pots. Plant these
out early in June. Seeds outdoors are better not sown
before June 1 near Boston. Hills should be well en¬
riched and spaced 6 feet apart each way. Leave 3 to 4
seedlings to each hill. Small Forcing Frames or Hot
Kaps are useful for forcing the growth of melons out
doors. Another good method is to make a ridge round
each hill and lay squares of 16x24 glass over each, tilt¬
ing these on hot days, closing at night and removing
when weather is settled. In this way two weeks may be
gained in the maturing of the fruits in the average sea¬
son. One ounce of seed will plant about 50 hills; 2 to 3
lbs., one acre.

MUSHROOM SPAWN

; i i.TUBAi. Directions. IMushrooms may be successfully Rrown in quite a variety
of situations including sheds, cellars, frames, below greenhouse benches and dis¬
used hay tree storage pits. Commercially they are grown in caves, tunnels, un¬
worked coal mines and sjiecially built sheds or houses. While crops are being
successfully grown without the use of manure, for amateurs a supply of fresh
horse manure is desirable. The long straw can be shaken out but the shorter litter
left and this manure should preferably be stored under cover and one third as' much
fresh loam as there is manure added to it. This mixture of soil and manure should
be thoroughly mixed and turned every second day until the rank heat has left
the pile, when it will be in a suitable condition to form into beds. The fermenting
material should be spread in layers and either tramped or firmed thoroughly by hand
until a bed 10 inches thick has been formed. Use a bottom heat thermometer to
ascertain the temperature of the bed. It will probably rise to 100 or 110 degrees
and as it declines to 85 degrees to 90 degrees it is the right time to spawn. There
are two types of spawn, viz. Milltrack which is imported and Pure Culture, the
former gives the best sized and colored mushrooms but the Pure Culture will
yield mushrooms much earlier and is more generally used today. It is this type
that we recommend. Bricks should be broken into pieces of the average size of a
pullet’s egg, holes being made in the bed 10 to 12 inches apart each way and about
3 inches deep to receive these pieces. In each hole a piece of the broken spawn
should be placed and pressed in firmly and covered with the compost, but this is
better not firmed until 10 days later when the white mycelium will be running
through the bed. At this time also spread a layer of fresh loam 1 Vi inches thick
over the bed and firm it well. Over this spread a layer of straw, hay, or fine
excelsior. While mushrooms will often not appear for 6 to 8 weeks in a well pre¬
pared bed, it is not unusual to find them showing within three weeks. There is no
harm in allowing the mulch to remain on the bed and it will prove helpful if there
is any drying heat where the bed or beds are located. In removing mushrooms from
the bed do not cut them but twist them out by tbeir stalks, pressing a little soil
into tbe hole made. Cutting should be discouraged, as the portion of stem left rots
and usually causes the decay of smaller mushrooms clustered round the one re¬
moved, A drying heat is very bad for mushrooms; damping floors and walls assist
a little in making the atmosphere better, but watering the beds, while necessary at

Cultural Directions. Sowings of mustard should be made right through the
winter in boxes or Hats and the seeds should not be covered but should be kept well
watered. For salad uses it should be cut before the second leaves appear. It is of
easy culture in a cellar frame or greenhouse and along with Curled Cress it is
ready to cut much more quickly than any other salading plants. One ounce of
seed will sow 50 feet of drill.

times, is more or less of a necessary evil. Water of a temperature of 90
degrees should always be used. When a bed has become more or less
exhausted spread a layer of fresh pasture loam over it one half an inch
thick and after firming, apply water of a temperature of 120 degrees,
and cover with straw or hay to hold the heat and moisture in. This will
often start the mushrooms into bearing again. An addition of one
pound of nitrate of soda to 10 gallons of water will also act as a further
stimulant. The whitest mushrooms are always produced in the dark.

Cultural Directions. This is a real warm weather vegetable and
should not be sown before May 20 to 25. Sow in drills 2yi to 3 feet apart
covering seeds two inches. Thin out to 12 inches apart. The pods pro¬
duced are valuable in stews and soups such as “Chicken Gumbo Soup”
which is a very popular dish. One ounce of seed will sow 50 feet of drill.

ONION SETS

CuLTUR.AL Directions. Onion Sets should be planted out just as soon as possible after
frost has gone and the ground can be worked. They are not harmed by fairly severe
frost. Plant out in rows 12 to 15 inches apart, allowing 4 inches between each set. The
soil must be rich. Keep well cultivated and the Sets will produce good sized Onions
weeks in advance of those produced from seeds. One quart to 20 feet of drill; 8
Bushels to the acre.

Yellow Japanese Onion or Ebenezer. The outstanding sort for set
planting, producing a large bulb not unlike Yellow Globe Dan¬
vers in shape and size except that it is somewhat more flattened in
shape and of a rich amber color. The bulbs are very firm, solid with
thin skin. Will remain in good condition for a long time under
ordinary storage conditions. The Yellow Japanese is much super¬
ior to the old type of Yellow Sets which we have discontinued and
we fill all orders with the Japanese variety. Lb. 35c; 8 lbs. $2.25.

Egyptian or Perennial Tree Onion. This variety is planted in late
July or early August. The bulbs are hardy and with light covering
through the winter can be carried over and produce a crop of mild
white Onions for the early market. Prices are established in July
for the fall planting.

Onion Ailsa Craig

ONIONS

Cultural Directions. This very important vegetable crop demands rich soil, and the
more nearly level the land can be the better. Very large onions, suitable for exhibition
purposes, of such varieties as Ailsa Craig and Prizetaker should be started under glass in
late February, pricked off into flats of rich soil, and planted out in late April in rows
18 inches apart and 8 inches between the plants. All varieties of onions grown for exhibi¬
tion purposes may be started in this way. Seed sowing should be done just as early as
possible in spring in drills a foot apart, sowing seeds thinly and covering ^ inchi After
covering the rows a firm tramping or rolling will insure a better and more even stand of
seedlings. Thin seedlings so that they are about two inches apart; where rather small onions
are preferred no thinning is necessary. Weeding in the early stages of growth is very
important. If weeding is neglected for even a few days it may mean serious injury to the
crop. Frequent and light cultivation is needed during the growing season and tubers
should be pulled up and spread out to dry when tops turn yellow or brown. To assist the
formation of extra large bulbs applications of liquid manure after heavy rains will be of
great benefit. One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; from 4 to 5 lbs., one acre.

PARSLEY

CuLTURAi. Directions. For a very early crop parsley should
be started in the Hot bed or cold frame and planted out about
May 1st. Seeds can be sown outdoors very early in Spring or
as late as June. Thin plants to stand 8 to 9 inches apart or if
you want e.vtra fine leaves 12 inches will be better. Plant only
the specially heavy curled varieties. Parsley is an excellent
garnishing plant and it is also used in soups and stews. Parsley
sauce is very popular for use with fish. Plants may be carried
over Winter outdoors by covering with leaves and standing a
box over them. Roots may also be lifted and planted in a cold
frame or in a box in tbe cellar for winter use. One ounce of
seed will sow about 150 feet of drill; 3 lbs. to the acre.

Champion Moss Curled. Leaves beautifully curled,
extra fine for garnishing. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; Yu
lb. 75c.

OBRECK’S DOUBLE GREEN CREST. Dwarf
compact growth, rich dark green leaves, densely
curled. The most desirable sort for exhibition or
garnishing, highly prized for garden borders,
frames or open ground. Pkt. 25c; oz. 75c; ^4 lb.
$2.00.

Fern Leaved. Excellent in form and color. Pkt. 10c;
oz. 25c; 54 lb. 75c.

Plain Leaved. The favorite for flavoring soups and
for drying because of its flat, deeply cut hut not
curled dark green leaves. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 54
lb. 75c.

Hamburg. (Tuberous rooted). The variety grown
for the edible root which has white flesh and in
flavor somewhat resembles Celeriac. The foliage
is about the same as the plain Parsley in appear¬
ance. Roots frequently dug late in Fall and stored
in sand for Winter use. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 54 lb.
75c.

Cultural Directions. Seeds of the various Peppers should be sown in beat' between
March 15 and April 5. Seedlings should be transplanted into flats of light rich soil and
gradually hardened off and planted outdoors about June 1. Avoid giving them very rich
soil. This will promote a rank growth but practically all flowers will drop instead of
setting fruits. Ground well manured the previous year will give a much better and heavier
crop of peppers than one manured just prior to planting. After the fruits are set an appli¬
cation of commercial fertilizer stirred in will improve the quality of the fruits. One ounce
of seed should produce about 2000 plants; 4 oz. to the acre.

PARSNIP

Cultural Directions. Parsnips are a valuable root crop requiring a long season for their
proper development. Seeds therefore should be sown very early in the Spring in drills 18
inches apart, covering seeds one inch deep. Thinning out should be done so that plants
stand 8 inches apart. In order to secure long and very smooth parsnips for exhibition use
a crowbar and sink holes 24 to 36 inches deep. Fill with finely screened soil and sow half
a dozen seeds on top of each hole, thinning out to one. Holes for these big roots should
stand a foot apart. It is customary to^eave a portion of the parsnip crop outdoors and lift
in Spring, as the freezing during Winter greatly improves the flavor of the roots. Those
lifted for Winter use should be packed in sand or soil in a cool cellar. One ounce of seed
will sow 100 feet of drill; 5 lbs. to one acre.

GARDEN PEAS

Cultural Directions. For the successful culture of this most important and popular garden vegetable
good preparation of the soil is essential. Peas succeed best on rather light rich loams but will thrive on
any good soil which has been deeply ploughed or spaded and liberally manured. They dislike an acidy
soil and lime is essential to their successful culture. Make the earliest sowings of the round seeded
varieties just as soon as the soil is workable. Cover the earliest sowings 2 to 2J4 inches, second sowings
3 inches and late ones 4 to inches. When the weather is very warm and the soil dry if seeds have been
soaked overnight in advance of sowing, or if they are well sprinkled with a hose or watering can before
covering it will materially assist germination. Between June 5 and July 15 it is not advisable to sow
Peas, but about July 15 to 25 a sowing of a dwarf wrinkled variety can be made and may give a fair
crop in late September. Wrinkled peas being more delicate than the round ones should be sown a little
later. Use supports for all but the very Dwarf Peas. This may consist of birch, wild cherry and other
forms of brush, wire netting of a wide mesh, or strings attached to a stout overhead wire. Where ob¬
tainable brush gives the best form of support. Two pounds of peas will plant about 100 feet of drill;
90 lbs. to the acre.

Irish Cobbler Certified Stock

CuLTURAi, Directions. The Potato crop is by far the most important
of all vegetable crops. While potatoes can be sucpessfully grown on
almost all types of land, the ideal soil is a deep, but rather light loam,
inclined to sandiness. Applications of fresh manure near planting time
will produce very scabby tubers; on the whole commercial fertilizers are
much preferable to animal manures of all kinds. Early varieties may he
planted just as soon as the ground is ready; main crop varieties as late
as June. It is advisable to use carefully selected seed, and this seed
should be treated with Semesan Bel before planting. Cut tubers into por¬
tions containing one good eye each. Drop the cut sets 12 to 15 inches
apart in the furrows, and cover 4 inches. Furrows should be a yard
apart. A thorough cultivation should be given at least once before tops
appear in order to kill numerous small weeds, and frequent loosening of
the soil between the furrows is essential to good culture . Soil should be
gradually thrown up about the plants commencing when they are 4 to 6
inches high. 1 peck will plant approximately 150 feet of row, 10 bushels
to the acre.

Prices for all the following varieties (carriage extra) 15
lbs. for $1.50; 60 lbs. for $5.00; 120 lbs. for $9.00. A bushel

RADISH

Cultural Directions. An early crop of radishes may be had in the cold
frame or hotbed. Outdoors the first sowing should be made as early as the
ground is ready. To insure clean roots avoid stiff, heavy, wormy or heavily
manured ground. The cleanest radishes will be had from light, sandy and
fairly well enriched soils. In the hot summer months it hardly pays to sow
radishes as they get tough so quickly, but after August 10 sowings outdoors
can be made until late in September. The large varieties of radish like Stutt¬
gart and Black Spanish may be stored in sand over winter in a cool cellar.
One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; 10 lbs. to the acre.

Pumpkin Sweet Sugar

PUMPKIN

Cultural Directions. Pumpkins require to be grown in hills 8x8 feet apart
and seed should be sown late in May, seedlings being reduced to 2 or 3 to
each hill. The small varieties like Winter Luxury and Sugar are excellent
for pies while the larger field varieties are valuable for live stock on the
farms. One ounce of seed will plant about 30 hills; 4 lbs to one acre.

RHUBARB

Cultural Directions. Rhubarb may be raised from seeds sown in drills
in Spring. Seedlings should he thinned to a foot apart, and plants moved in
the Autumn to their permanent quarters. Usually propagation is by division
of the roots of good fixed varieties. This may be done just as well in Autumn
as in Spring. To succeed with rhubarb it must he very heavily manured. In
fact it will stand and appreciate more stimulants than any other member of
the vegetable family. One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill.

Spinach Bloomsdale Savoy.

NEW ZEALAND SPINACH

Tetragonia expansa

This plant is generally considered a Spinach but it is not
botanically related to this family. The plants have a spreading
growth with many side shoots and it is a true cut and come
again vegetable. The leaves are small, very thick and tender
when young. The plant is robust and extremely drought re¬
sistant and will grow on poor soils and produce an abundant
crop of greens.

Cultural Directions. A vegetable which should be started indoors and
planted out after frost danger has gone. It is well to soak the seeds in warm
water a few hours before planting. Allow 24 to 36 inches between the plants
which make a very rapid growth and can be kept constantly cut until Autumn.
Seeds may also be started outdoors but will be later in giving a crop. As seed¬
ling plants of New Zealand Spinach are difficult to transplant, the seed may
be sown in Crowell pots to advantage and later transferred to the open ground
without setback.

Tetragonia expansa. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 54 lb. 85c; lb. $2.50.

SCORZONERA (Black Salsify)

Cultural Directions. This vegetable should be cultivated in the same
manner as Salsify, but being a little more difficult to raise, is rarely grown
except by private gardeners. Though the roots have black skins, the flesh is
white and very tender. Scorzonera may be cooked in the same ways as
Salsify, and many people consider it superior in flavor.

Scorzonera Hispanica. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c.

SPINACH

Cultural Directions. Spinach, to be succulent and tender, must have a
really rich soil. This rule applies to all leafy vegetable plants but to none
more than Spinach. Sow seeds for an early crop just as soon as the ground
can be worked and make successive sowings until the end of May. In very
hot dry weather this crop runs quickly to seed, but after August 10 a good
Autumn crop can be started. In September sow a batch to stay, out over
Winter for Spring use. Mulching is necessary after the ground freezes.

1 oz. will sow 50 feet of drill. 12 lbs. to one acre.

©KING OF DENMARK. Of Danish origin, a selection from
the best types of Long Standing varieties. Introduced to
New England about four years ago, its popularity is steadily
increasing. Medium early, rapid growing, resembles Long
Standing in type but leaves are more crumpled or blistered
and of a dark green color. Will remain in good condition for
cutting for about two weeks after other varieties have bolted
to seed. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; 54 lb. 30c; lb. $1.00.

SALSIFY— Oyster-Plant

Cultural Directions. The roots of this vegetable have a distinct oyster-like
flavor, hence the name Oyster Plant. They may be stewed, fried or boiled
and are quite delicious. The roots are very hardy like parsnips and therefore
may be left in the ground over winter. Seeds of salsify should be sown in
drills 15 to 18 inches apart, covering seeds one inch and thinning seedlings
to 6 inches apart. Light sandy ground will give the straightest, cleanest and
best appearing roots. Fresh manure will make roots branch very badly and
be more or less scabby. Use fertilizer rather than manure for this crop and
sow seeds in early Spring for best results. One ounce of seed will sow 50
feet of drill; 10 lbs. to the acre.

©Breck’s Improved Long White. Roots of medium size, white
and smooth. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; 54 lb. $1.00.

SWISS CHARD

Cultural Directions. This member of the beet family is useful on account of its large
foliage and broad leaf blades with succulent stems. The fleshy portion may be cooked like
asparagus and the tender young leaves utilized for greens like Spinach. Very early sowing
will sometimes cause a portion of the plants to bolt to seed, but after the end of April this
will not occur. Seedlings require severe thinning and should stand at least a foot apart.
Stems will be more tender if the leaves are tied together with roffea or soft twine.

Blonde. A variety having a broad white midrib with yellowish green
leaves quite distinct from other varieties and useful for exhibition pur¬
poses because of the peculiar color of the leaves. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c;

height of two to two and one half feet. The stalks are thick, of a creamy
white color, and heavily ribbed. The leaves are very large, of a rich
green color and havily crumpled. This is the most decorative variety
for growing in the home garden and it is also valuable for exhibition.

Blue Hubbard

SQUASH

Warren Turban

Orange Marrow

Cultural Directions. All of the squashes delight in a warm, rich and
well pulverized soil. Seeding must he deferred until frost dangers have
passed. Hills 4 feet apart each way will suffice for the hush varieties but
the running section should have a space of 10x10 to grow in. This especially
applies to the good Winter varieties like Blue Hubbard, Marblehead, and
Marrow, Leave 2 to 3 seedlings to each hill when thinning out. Hill up the
joints of plants as they grow to prevent the attacks of the squash borer from
destroying them. Summer: 1 oz. to 40 hills; 2 lbs. to the acre. Winter: 1 oz.

VEGETABLE SEEDS

TOMATO

Cultural Direction's. Seeds sown in a greenhouse, hotbed or warm window about March
IS will furnish seedlings which can later be pricked off into flats of rich soil allowing 3 to
4 inches apart each way for the plants to develop. Plants must be gradually hardened off
and planted out after frost dangers have passed which is usually about May 24 in the
vicinity of Boston, although occasionally freezing weather will occur even later than this.

Plants may be set out 4 feet apart each way when allowed to ramble over the ground. A
very much better plan to adopt by amateurs is to plant in rows 3 feet apart and allow only
24 to 27 inches between the plants. Drive a stout stake in for each plant, or use a few
pieces of 2x4 lumber, driving these in at intervals of 5 to 6 feet and stringing old telephone
wire at intervals of 10 to 12 inches along them. Laths may be used if preferred. To these
tie the main stem of each plant and allow in addition two side shoots or laterals to grow.

Later tie these in and rub off all other laterals and side shoots as they appear and tie plants
up loosely once in 10 days. Tomato plants will easily attain a height of 6 or more feet. The
tops should then be pinched out. Tomatoes trained in this way are very ornamental; they
will ripen earlier than when allowed to ramble over the ground, and give a very much
heavier yield of high class fruits. Light warm soils give the earliest fruits, but heavier
land will give the greatest yield. The small fruited tomatoes may be tied to poles and will
attain a height of 8 to 9 feet in a generous soil. One ounce of seed will produce about 2000
plants; 3 oz. to the acre.

For Tomato Plants see page 83

TURNIP

Cultural Directions. Spring sown turnips are grown to but a limited extent as they lose their
quality and are often bitter and very tough with the advent of hot, dry weather. For an early crop
soiv seeds early in April, scatter seeds as thinly as possible and thin out to 4 or 5 inches apart.
The Ruta Baga or Swedish turnips should be sown between June 15 and July 10 for best results.
They need a fairly long growing season and will continue to grow until early November. They are
very popular for winter use. The earlier maturing turnips can be sown as late as August 25 and
will make nice roots before growth ceases. Light sandy soils do not grow the largest turnips but
they possess much the best flavor. Seeds should be covered one inch. In the case of the strong grow¬
ing Ruta-Bagas seedlings should he thinned to 10 or 12 inches apart and rows must be at least 24
inches apart. The small varieties can be sown as closely as 12 to 15 inches apart. One ounce of
seed will sow 150 feet of drill; two pounds, one acre in drills; two pounds will also sow one acre
broadcast.

TOBACCO

Cultural Directions. Seeds should be
sown early in the Spring in frames or seed
bed. Use rich garden soil, fine and well
sifted, adding a liberal quantity of Wood
Ashes as a fertilizer. Cover seed very lightly.
When plants have reached good size and the
weather is warm and settled transplant from
the frame to the open ground, setting the
plants in rows four feet apart. Cultivate fre¬
quently following the same method of culti¬
vation as is used for Field Corn or Sweet
Corn. One ounce of good seed of strong
germination will usually produce enough
plants in seed bed to plant one acre ot
ground in the field.

LAWN GRASS SEEDS

A “Boston Park Mixture” Lawn

BRECK’S
BOSTON PARK
LAWN GRASS SEED

For over one hundred years, four generations
of Breaks have supplied this Superb Alixture
to four generations of exacting lawn builders.
Boston Park Lawn Seed is the finest mixture
of pure grass seeds that money can buy. The
average lawn grass mixture weighs 20 lbs.
to the bushel. Boston Park Lawn Grass Mix¬
ture weighs 32 lbs. to the bushel, making it
the best and by far the most economical to use.
It is packed in 1 lb. and 4 lb. canisters for your
protection when buying and for your con¬
venience in using. In each canister will be
found a copy of “Lawns in the Making,” a
booklet giving the most approved methods of
construction and maintenance of lawuis. One
pound of Boston Park Lawui Seed is suffi¬
cient to sow about 600 sq. feet; 2 Bu. to the
acre. Per 1 lb. canister, 75c; per 4 lb. canister,
$2.75; in bulk, per peck, 8 lbs. $5.00; per
bushel, 32 lbs., $18.00.

Carriage paid to any point in New England
when cash accompanies the order.

For the Perfect Lawn use Pulverized
Poultry Manure as a Top Dressing.

BRECK’S SPECIAL FORMULA OF
MIXED GRASS SEED FOR
TENNIS COURTS

The component parts of this special formula have
been carefully selected and tested to meet the re¬
quirements of the soil and climatic conditions of New
England. These Grasses make a quick growth, are a
permanent, will withstand hard wear and yet furnish
a firm fine turf which can be closely cut. Light top
dressings of high grade soluble lawn fertilizers are
recommended from time to time.

Per lb. 75c; 4 lbs. $2.75; 8 lbs. $5.00; per bu. $18.00.

BRECK’S SHADY SPOT
LAWN GRASS SEED

Not all grasses are grown successfully in shade or partial shade. We
have, therefore, prepared a mixture of recleaned pasture grasses
w'hich are naturally adapted to growing in partial or deep shade. These
grasses are somewhat slower in becoming established than the grasses
in our Boston Park Lawn Mixture. We recommend a heavy sowing of
seed, with a very light covering, and it is well to sow the seed early
in the Spring, if possible before the ground is shaded by the leaves to
any great extent. Our Shady Spot Mixture does not contain Clover
seed of any kind. The grasses in the mixture will do best on slightly
acid soil. Per qt. canister, 50c; per one-half peck, $1.50; per Peck,
$2.75; per Bushel, $10.00. Weight 20 lbs. per bushel, carriage extra.

BRECK’S

SPECIAL SEASHORE
LAWN GRASS MIXTURE

The grasses going into this mixture have been care¬
fully selected for their deep rooting qualities, their
resistance to salt spray, and for their ability to with¬
stand drought, and the conditions invariably found on
poor and sandy soils. Before sowing this special formu¬
la 5 lbs. of Wood Ashes or Poultry Manure should be
applied and raked into the surface soil to every 100 sq.
ft. At least 1 lb. of seed should be sown to every 300
sq. ft. Per lb. 75c; 4 lbs., $2.75; 8 lbs., $5.00; per bushel,
$18.00.

BANK and TERRACE
GRASS MIXTURE

There are many lawns situated on slopes and
embankments and these situations require
grasses that establish themselves quickly and
make deep and well developed root systems.

To meet these conditions we have prepared a
mixture of grasses that are hardy and that will
withstand hard usage and frequent cutting. Our
Bank and Terrace Mixture should be sown
thickly and lightly covered. After the grass has
become established, frequent mowing is recom¬
mended. No clover seed is included in our Bank
and Terrace Mixture.

Per Qt. 50c; per one-half peck, $1.50; per Peck,

$2.75; per Bushel, $10.00.

Weight 20 lbs. per bushel; carriage extra.

BRECK’S ATHLETIC GROUND OR POLO FIELD MIXTURE

No Clover of any kind has been included in this formula as clover is liable to make a playing field slippery. The grasses used
are those most capable of making a strong rapid growth. The roots of the grasses comprising this special mixture will strike
deep into the soil preventing the rapid drying out of the turf in dry weather and yet furnishing a sod that will be permanent
and which will stand very hard usage. Areas seeded with this Mixture may be kept closely cut without destroying the stand
of grass. We recommend sowing at least 100 lbs. of seed per acre. Application of Premier Poultry Manure as a top dressing
before the seed is sown will materially help in promoting the rapid growth of the grass and further applications at stated
intervals will insure the permanency of the sod. The grasses in our formula prefer slightly acid soils and fertilizers selected
should always be chosen because of their tendency to produce a slightly acid reaction in the soil. Poultry Manure will produce
this acid reaction. One can also use Sulphate of Ammonia in the same way but with more care.

WHY CRAB GRASS!!

Investigations have shown that the seed of crab grass species
is found native in nearly all soils. Appearing in late Summer,
the crab grass goes to seed in the Fall and the seed sprouts the
following Summer or may remain dormant in the soil for
several seasons, to appear when conditions become favorable.
The fact that the seed is in the soil is clearly shown by its
prompt appearance in any piece of fallow ground. Crab grass
seed is also spread from place to place in manure and by
birds, the wind and other natural causes. Never allow Crab
Grass to seed itself in your flower beds or lawns. Isolated
plants should be dug out then fill the holes with soil from a
cultivated area and reseed with Boston Park Lawn Seed.

The Remedy and Control of Serious Infestation of Crab
Grass Lies in the Use of
CASIM

After three years of experiments the manufacturers of Casim
have developed a compound consisting of Calcium, Alumi¬
num, Silicon, Iron and Magnesium, which, applied to the
turf infested with crab grass after the beginning of Septem¬
ber and until cold weather arrives, will produce either chemi¬
cal or electrical action in the soil and aided by the rays of
the sun will prevent the germination of crab grass seeds and
the growth of crab grass, in the lawn. Showing 60-70%
decrease in crab grass the first year and the virtual elimina¬
tion of crab grass the third year from one application. The
application applied for best results is 100 lbs. per 150 square
feet in powder form, supplied only in 100-lb. sacks. Prices: per
100 lbs. $2.75; 500-lb. lots $12.00; ^ ton $23.00; ton, $44.00.

PURFECK CHICKWEED ELIMINATOR

This solution will rid lawns and putting greens of chick-
weed. Spray on the grass only in the Fall, Winter or
early Spring. It can be applied on frozen ground but not on
snow. Write for detailed information. Used effectively and
economically the past season throughout New England.

AGRICULTURAL GRASS AND GRAIN

BRECKS

BRECK’S SPECIAL GRASS SEED MIXTURES

FOR MOWING AND GRAZING LANDS

All mixtures for Alternate Husbandry should include (say
for one or two years’ lay) only annual and biennial or other
sorts that attain full maturity within that period; for two or
three years’ lay a greater quantity of seed is required, which
should embrace a larger proportion of permanent sorts, so
that the places of the dead annual kinds may be filled by the
varieties that are of slower growth.

If a mixture principally for mowing is intended to lie more
than three or four years, especial care is necessary in selecting
and adjusting the several varieties of grasses in proper pro¬
portion. A three or four years’ lay sown with grasses that are
only of annual or biennial duration must be either very thin
or foul at the end of the period for which it was laid down —
the spaces vacated by the annual and biennial grasses being in

all likelihood occupied by objectionable weeds; whereas, if a
proper selection of those species capable of lasting the whole
of the desired period had been sown, the lay would remain full
of plants, free from weeds, and in consequence, would be very
much more profitable during the whole time the land is in grass.
While it is true that the mixtures which we recommend are
seemingly much more expensive than those commonly used, it
should be borne in mind that a vastly increased value is given
to the pasture not only for one year, but if the land is properly
cared for, it will remain in good condition for fifteen or twenty
years without further sowing, and produce double the amount
of fodder. The ordinary sowing has to be repeated every three
or four years; thus, in the end, costing more than four times as
much as would have been paid for the proper mixture.

MIXTURES FOR MOWING AND GRAZING

Note: It will be noticed that the different tables are all based on the quantity required to sow one acre. When ordering, simply
give number and kind of mixture selected and the number of acres for which seed is desired; for example: “Send me No. 2
Mixture for Permanent Pastures for three acres.’’

AGRICULTURAL GRASS AND GRAIN

BRECK’S AGRICULTURAL GRASSES

Subject to frequent market changes, net f. o. b. Boston,

includes the varieties used most extensively in Perma

Awnless, or Smooth Brome Grass (Bromus inermis). An
erect-growing perennial that attains a height of from three
to five feet. It is especially recommended for dry and arid
soils, where the more delicate grasses will not grow. Weight,
12 lbs. per bushel. Lb. 40c; per 100 lbs. $30.00.

Creeping Bent, or Firoin (.A.grostis stolonifera). The distinc¬
tive feature of this species is, as the name implies, its com¬
pact, creeping, rooting stems. It prefers low bottomlands,
especially if they are somewhat sandy. It is rapid of growUli
and spreading in habit, and the stoloniferous roots form a
strong, enduring turf that is positively improved b.v constant
tramping. Being of fine te.xture, it is one of the most valuable
of our lawn grasses. Lb. $2.00; per 100 lbs. $150.00.

For complete list of Bent Grasses see Page 85.

Timothy, Herd’s Grass or Catstail (Phleum Pratense). Peren¬
nial. Roots are fibrous in moist soils, but in dry soils often
become bulbous; blooms in June and July. While this grass
is commonly knovvn as Timothy, it is frequently called Herd’s
Grass, as this is the name under which it rvas originally cul¬
tivated. It is the most valuable grass for hay, especially in
the North, thriving best on moist, loamy soils of medium
tenacitj'. Grows very readily and yields, on favorable soils,
three or four tons of best quality hay per acre. Should be cut
iust w'hen the blossom falls. Weight, 45 lbs. per bushel.
Lb. 15c; per 100 lbs. $12.00 .

Orchard Grass (Dactylis glomerata). Root fibrous, perennial,
flowers in June and” July. This is one of the most valuable
and widely knowm of all the pastures grasses. Its rapidity of
growth, its luxuriant aftermath, and its power of enduring
the cropping of cattle, all commend it highly to farmers.
Thrives well on light soils, and as its roots penetrate to a
considerable depth, it withstands droughts better than most
species. Lb. 35c; per 100 lbs. $30.00.

Kentucky Blue Grass, Meadow Grass, June Grass, Spear
Grass (Poa pratensis). Root-creeping; perennial: flowers in
June. This valuable grass is very common in the soils of
America, although some claim that its creeping root im¬
poverishes the soil. It is a fact, however, that it grows very
luxuriantly producing the most nourishing food for cattle
until late in the season in the North; in the South abundant
herbage is furnished throughout the entire Winter. It is a
very valuable species in lawn mixtures. As Kentucky Blue
Grass requires two or three years to become well set, and
does not arrive at perfection as a pasture grass until the
sward is at least four years old, it is not suited for alternate
husbandry, where the land is to remain in grass only two or
three years. Lb. 40c; per 100 lbs. $35.00.

Red Top, Herd’s Grass (Agrostis vulgaris). Root-creeping;
perennial; flowers in Juh^ This valuable grass has been
commonly cultivated in our fields for over a century. It is a
fine permanent grass, and forms a nutritious pasturage when
fed close. It is valuable for all wet soils, producing a large
return in good hay. Red Top is often sown with Timothy
and common Red Clover, in which case the clover soon dis¬
appears, followed by the Timothy, the Red Top usually tak¬
ing their places, and with some wild indigenous grass form¬
ing a close sward. When sown alone, 4 bushels of unhulled,
or 20 pounds of the clean seed per acre are required. Weight,
unhulled. 10 lbs. per bushel; fancy or clean, 40 lbs. per bushel.
Unhulled seed: Lb. 25c; per 100 lbs. $18.00.

Fancy, or clean seed; Lb. 35c; per 100 lbs. $30.00.

Sweet Vernal. (Perennial). Root fibrous; flowers in May.
Valuable on account of its early growth. It is very fragrant
and imparts a pleasant odor to the hay. Will grow in almost
any kind of soil, but prefer those which are rich and moist.

It is greatly relished by sheep, and is found growing natur¬
ally on upland pastures. Lb. $1.25; per 100 lbs. $100.00.

Rough Stalked Meadow Grass (Poa trivialis). Root fibrous;
perennial. This grass is valuable on account of its quick
growth, productiveness and nutritive qualities. Grows to

bags extra. The following list of Agricultural Grasses
nent pasture and other grass mi.xtures.

perfection on moist, rich soils, and is also well adapted to
gTound shaded by trees. Grows early in the Spring, and con¬
tinues green until late in the Autumn. .A.s it delig'nts in shel¬
ter, its product is always much greater when sown with
other grasses. Does not thrive well on dry soils. Weigh* i4
lbs. per bushel. Lb. 65c; per 100 lbs. $60.00.

Perennial Rye (Lolium perenne). Pacey’s short seeded. .A.
very valuable grass; arrivs early at maturity and produces
a good supply of herbage, of which cattle are very fond.
It grows freely on almost any soil, and shows a very early
Spring growth. Although a perennial grass, the root will
not live over three or four years, and unless the plant is
allowed to reproduce from self-shown seed it will die out
in about that time. This is an objection to its extensive
use for permanent pastures, but for hay crops it may be
introduced to good advantage along with other grasses and
clovers. Lb. 18c; per 100 lbs. $15.00.

Italian Rye (Lolium Italicum). Annual. In nutritive value,
earliness and quickness of growth, after it has been mown, it
far surpasses the Perennial Rye Grass. It is, therefore, in¬
dispensable for alternate husbandry, but as it does not last
over two years, it is of no use in permanent pastures. The
soils best adapted to Italian Rye seem to be those that are
moist, fertile and tenacious or of a medium consistency, and
on such soils it is said to be one of the best grasses known to
be cut green, affording repeated luxuriant crops. Weight,
18 lbs. per bushel. Lb. 18c; per 100 lbs. $15.00.

Meadow Foxtail (Alopecuris pratensis). Root fibrous; peren¬
nial; flowers in May. This is one of the best grasses for per¬
manent pastures, and should always form a fair proportion
of the mixtures for that purpose, because of its extremely
rapid growth and great nutritive qualities. Thrives best on
rich, strong soil. As the Meadow Foxtail shoots up its flower¬
ing stalk much earlier than Timothy, it can be easily dis¬
tinguished from the latter, which, at first sight, it greatly
resembles. The nutritive qualities of Meadow Foxtail are
most abundant at time of flowering. Weight, 8 lbs. per bushel.
Lb. 60c; per 100 lbs. $55.00.

Crested Dog’s Tail (Cynosurus cristatus). Roots fibrous and
tufted; perennial. This is a most valuable permanent pasture
grass. For parks this grass is well suited, because of its fine,
close growth, and pleasant green color. Weight, 28 lbs. per
bushel. Lb. 60c; per 100 lbs. $50.00.

Yellow Oat Grass (Avenua flavescens). This deserves to form
a portion of all mixtures for permanent purposes, and is well
suited for lawns, croquet and golf greens. It thrives on light,
dry soils. Weight, 11 lbs. per bushel. Lb. $1.50; per 100 lbs.
$125.00.

Tall Meadow Oat Grass (.A vena elatior). A fibrous-rooted
perennial; flowers in July. Of luxuriant growth, and valuable
in permanent pasture mixtures, on account of its early and
late growth. It succeeds best on deep, sandy lands, and is
suitable for sowing in orchards or other shady places.
Weight, 15 lbs. per bushel. Lb. 50c; per 100 lbs. $40.00.

Wood Meadow Grass (Poa nemoralis). Root fibrous: flowers
in June and July. This grass, as its name implies, is found
naturally in woods and is well adapted to growing under
trees. It is especially desirable, from its fine habit of growth,
for sowing on shady lawns and under trees, on pleasure
grounds. Weight, 14 lbs. per bu. Lb. 85c; per 100 lbs.
$70.00.

Meadow Fescue, or English Blue Grass (Festuca pratensis).
Root-creeping: perennial; flowers in July; one of the most
valuable of the Fescue grasses. This grass is well adapted
to permanent pastures, and is also sometimes used for alter¬
nate husbandry. It grows rapidly in rich and rather moist
soils, and makes an excellent pasture grass, its long, tender
leaves being much relished by cattle. Ic should be always
mixed with other grasses. Weight, 15 lbs. per bushel. Lb,
25c; per 100 lbs. $20.00,

AGRICULTURAL GRASS AND GRAIN

IBRECK’S

BRECK’S AGRICULTURAL GRASSES (ContinMed)

Sheep’s Fescue (Festuca ovina). Somewhat creeping; peren¬
nial, flowers in June and July; especially desirable on light,
dry sandy soils. It is much liked by sheep, and should always
enter into the compositions of mixtures for lands on which
they are to be pastured. Weight, 12 lbs. per bushel. Lb. 35c;
per 100 lbs. $30.00.

Fine-Leaved Fescue (Festuca tenuifoliis). This is really a
variety of Festuca ovina with much finer leaves. It will
grow on very dry and inferior soils, and its dwarf habit of
growth and fineness of leaf render it suitable for dry slopes
on lawns. It stands grazing well, is very hardy, and lasts
long, and may therefore be recommended for permanent
pasture on high and dry situations. Weight, 22 lbs. per
bushel. Lb. 70c; per 100 lbs. $65.00.

New Zealand Chewing Fescue. We offer genuine New Zealand-
grown Chewing’s Fescue, re-cleaned, and of latest crop.
This Fescue is highly recommended for Putting Greens. Re¬
quires sour soil for best results. Lb. 65c; per 100 lbs. $50.00.

Tall Fescue (Festuca elatior). Root fibrous, somewhat creep¬
ing; perennial; flowers June and July. In appearance this
species resembles the Festuca pratensis, but is larger and of

stronger growth. It thrives well on moist soils, and yields
abundant crops. Cattle and stock eat it greedily. It should
form a portion of every mixture for permanent pasture on
most soils. Weight, 15 lbs. per bushel. Lb. 60c; per 100 lbs.
$50.00.

Hard Fescue (Festuca duriuscula). This is one of the best
grasses of the Fescue family. It is found in all the finest per¬
manent pastures of the country, and is much valued for its
dwarf habit. It resists Summer drought, and develops re¬
markable verdure during Winter. It should form a part of
every mixture for lawn or pleasure grounds, as well as for
permanent pasture and alternate husbandry. Lb. 35c; per
100 lbs. $30.00.

Red or Creeping Fescue (Festuca rubra). This grass grows on
light, dry, sandy soils, and from its creeping habit will be
found of great value on sandy seacoast lands. It is a grass of

AGRICULTURAL GRASS AND GRAIN

Field Corn

ALFALFA

Alfalfa is a legume, taking free nitrogen from the air and
storing it up in the deep growing roots. As green fodder or
cured hay Alfalfa is relished above all other forage crops by
stock.

To grow a good field of Alfalfa, it is important to select deep,
loamy, well-drained land with loose sub-soil, as standing water
will soon kill out the young plants. Plow and harrow the land
thoroughly, and with the first harrowing apply at least one
ton of Agricultural Lime per acre, thereby correcting any
acidity in the soil and, what is more important, making condi¬
tions favorable to the activity of nitrogen-gathering bacteria
upon the presence of which success depends.

GENUINE GRIMM ALFALFA—

As a result of extensive trials of numerous varieties of Alfalfa,
at various Experiment Stations and on many farms in the
Northern States, the unanimous conclusion is that the Grimm
strain is hardier and more productive than any other known
variety. Per lb. 60c ; 20 lb. lots and over, 50c per lb.

All Grains sold F. O. B. Boston. Bags Extra. Prices

NORTHERN ALFALFA

(Forrest No. 962)

Grown for us in a territory where the range of temperature
is greatly varied and where there is a small amount of mois¬
ture. The crown of the No. 962 is larger and grows more un¬
derground enabling the plants to withstand severe Winter
weather. Weight 60 lbs. per bushel. Lb. 50c ; per 100 lbs. $45.00.

SEED OATS

Breck’s King Oats. A close or cluster-headed variety; first
recommended to the New England farmer by us fully
twenty-five years ago. The stock has been carefully selected
and improved over a series of years, insuring grain of the
first quality free from fungous diseases, weighing not less
than 40 pounds to the measured bushel, of strong germina¬
tion and of most attractive appearance. Two bushels of
King Oats will plant more area than four bushels of the
common seed oats procured from local sources. Per bushel
of 32 lbs. $2.00; 10 bushel lots and over $1.85 per bushel.

Swedish Select. A variety of Swedish origin. Owing to its
splendid vigor, hardiness, and productiveness it is most
highly recommended for New England soil. The oats ripen
early, the straw is strong, stiff, tall, and the grain is white,
thin hulled, and plump. Weight per measured bushel, 40 to
45 pounds. The spikelets usually contain 2 grains. The
growth in the Autumn is unusually regular and upright. Our
stock comes from Northern Wisconsin. It is free from dis¬
ease and of high germination. Per bushel, $1.75; 10 bushel
lots and over, per bushel, $1.60.

SEED RYE

We furnish only selected Rye saved for seed.

Rosen Winter Rye. The most desirable variety for New Eng¬
land conditions, either Summer or Autumn planting. Bu.,
$3.00.

Spring Rye. Selected re-cleaned grain in limited supplv. Bu.,
$3.00.

WINTER WHEAT

Dawson’s Golden Chaff. One of the hardiest wheats w'e know'
of; heads bald, color of grain white, inclined to light amber,
straw of medium length. Bu., $3.00.

SPRING WHEAT

Marquis. A variety produced by scientific cross breeding of the
old Calcutta and the frost-resisting Red Fyfe variety. In ap¬
pearance, Marquis Wheat is similar to Red Fyfe, but the
heads as a rule are heavier and the stalks shorter, making
it less likely to lodge. The kernel is flinty, a little darker red
and more plump than Fyfe. It is beardless, having smooth
yellow chaff, but its most valuable feature lies in its earli¬
ness, as it matures a W'eek or ten davs earlier than Red Fyfe.
Quart, 20c; pk., $1.25; bu. $3.50.

BUCKWHEAT

Silver Hulled. Bu., $3.00.

Japanese. Enormously productive. Bu., $3.00.

for years. It is an annual of quick growth — the first crop being

AGRICULTURAL GRASS AND GRAIN

BRECK’S

SUDAN GRASS (Continued)

ready to cut in fifty to seventy days after planting, depending
unon the length of seasons and moisture; the second and third
crops about forty-five or fifty days later respectively.

Sudan Grass has been grown successfully on almost every
class of soil from heavy clay to light sand, doing best on a rich
loam, but, of course, on light sandy soil a light yield may be
c.xpected. In any case, it should be well drained.

The ground should be prepared as for corn and the seed not
planted till soil 'becomes warm. It can be planted in this latitude
from about May first to July first. Sown broadcast use sixteen
to twenty-four pounds of seed per acre. If planted in drills 18
to 24 inches apart, from four to six pounds per acre will be
sufficient. Lb. 12c; per 100 lbs. $10.00.

CLOVERS

Clovers are the foundation of permanent agriculture in the
North and East. They have the faculty of taking nitrogen
from the air, and also of rendering available much of the inert
plant food of the soil. Their long, powerful tap-roots penetrate
to a great depth, loosen the soil, admit air, and by their decay
add immensely to the fertility of the soil.

Medium Red (Trifolium pratense). Gold Standard No. 12
Brand. The common Red Clover, but our stock comes from
Northern Michigan and Wisconsin and grown from select¬
ed seed, furnishing us with a very hardy strain which
will produce a greater tonnage per acre and withstand the
Northern Winters. A superior type recommended especially
for Northern New England. Weight 60 lbs. per bushel.
Lb. 50c; per 100 lbs. $40.00.

Mammoth Pea Vine (Trifolium pratense magnum). Of ranker
growth than Medium Red and usually lasts longer; excel¬
lent for plowing under to improve exhausted soils. Weight
60 lbs. per bushel. Lb. 50c; per 100 lbs. $40.00.

Alsike, or Swedish (Trifolium hybridum). The ha^'^iest of all
clovers; it resists cold and extreme drought, and for low, wet
land is most valuable; excellent for bees. Weight 60 lbs. per
bushel. Lb. 45c; per 100 lbs. $40.00.

White Clover (Trifolium repens). This variety should be in¬
cluded in all mixtures for lawns and permanent pastures. It
is adapted to all soils. Weight 60 lbs. per bushel. Lb. 60c;
per 100 lbs. $55.00.

Crimson Clover (Trifolium incarnatum). Also known as Scar¬
let, or Carnation Clover. A rapid-growing annual of great
value where only one crop is desired: excellent as a cover
crop in orchards, or for plowing under to improve poor soils.
Weight 60 lbs. per bushel. Lb. 35c; per 100 lbs. $25.00.
Yellow Sweet Clover (Melilotus officinalis). More suitable for
turning under than the White variety. A good crop with
which to prepare land for Alfalfa. Height about 2 feet.
Weight 60 lbs. per bushel. Lb. 20c; per 100 lbs. $18.00.
Bokhara (Melilotus alba) (White Sweet). Will grow on very
poor soils; excellent foe plowing under as a green manure.
\'aluable for bee keepers. Wt. 60 lbs. per bushel. Lb. 25c;
per 100 lbs. $20.00.

MILLETS

Hungarian Grass (Panicum Germanicum). This species of
Millet is comparatively small and fine in its habits of growth.
It is one of the most profitable hay and soiling crops, often
yielding over three tons per acre. No other Millet adapts
itself so readily to various conditions of soil and moisture.
Broadcast at the rate of one bushel per acre. Weight 48
pounds per bushel. Lb. 12c; per 100 lbs. $10.00.

Japanese Millet, Japanese Barnyard Grass (Panicum Crus
Calli). Distinct from other varieties. An enormous cropper
growing over 6 feet in height; excellent either green or as
cured hay. Broadcast at the rate of 25 pounds per acre; in
drills 18 inches apart, sow 15 pounds to the acre. Weight
about 35 pounds per bushel. Lb. 15c; per 100 lbs. $12.00.
Liberty, or Golden Millet (Panicum Miliaceum var.). An im¬
proved, medium earlv variety, growing from 3 to 5 feet high.
The heads are closely condensed though the spikes are
numerous. Weight 50 pounds per bushel. Lb. 13c; per 100
lbs. $10.00.

RAPE Dwarf — Essex, English

Easily grown, perfectly hardy and possesses remarkable fat¬
tening properties. Under ordinary field conditions the plants
reach a height of about 4 feet; the roots being strong growing,
penetrate the soil to a considerable depth. Rape is especially
adapted to cool, moist conditions, such as prevail in 'New Eng¬
land, and for its best development requires a loamy soil, moist
and rich; ground that has produced good crops of corn, turnips,
and cabbage will be found very suitable for Rape. Plant seed
in New England from May first to middle or last of July in
average seasons. In preparing the land for the seed, take every
care possible to have it free from noxious weeds. Have the
ground well pulverized with a harrow, thereby giving a deep,
mellow seed bed.

Dwarf Essex Rape will be found to resist Summer drought if
care is taken to get the plants well started before extreme
Summer heat may be expected. For sowing in drills, about
10 lbs. of seed per acre is required; broadcast 15 lbs. per
acre. Lb. 15c; per 100 lbs. $14.00.

GLADIOLUS

BRECK’S GLADIOLUS

LARGE FLOWERED VARIETIES

None of the Summer-flowering bulbous plants have the great popularity enjoyed by the Gladiolus. They are
everybody’s flowers because everybody can grow them. Their adaptability to garden decoration or to use as
cut-flowers during the Summer and early Autumn is surpassed by no other flower we know of. In cutting
Gladiolus it is best to cut the spikes as soon as the first flower has opened, always leaving from four to five
leaves when cutting. The remainder of the blossoms will open in the house and last much longer. The
simplicity of its culture is one of the most important qualifications of this splendid flower.

In presenting to you the following Gladiolus, we wish to state that our catalogue has been entirely revised
by one who has been associated with and has grown Gladiolus for the past twenty years. The entire selection
is based on bulbs which have proved their merit. You will not be disappointed in any one of them. They
are selected as having vigorous spikes with many flowers open at one time, but more especially for their
value in clearness of color. Considerable care has also been exercised in selecting those bulbs which have a
great deal of vigor. The following descriptions of Gladiolus have been made as concise as possible.

Northern New England bulbs which average 1% inches and over in size and are considered the very best
flowering sizes. Bulbs at the single or dozen prices sent post-paid. Not less than six sold at the dozen rate.

Cultural Directions. Any good garden soil will grow Gladio¬
lus provided they are planted in a sunny location. Bulbs should
he planted six inches deep and from four to six inches apart.
We recommend an application of Sheep Manure or a mixture
of ground bone and wood ashes when extra good blooms for
Exhibition purposes are desired. Otherwise, no extra or
special attention is at all necessary. Bulbs may be planted as

Delivery — March to May.

These interesting vines were first brought to the United States
about the year 1870. They came from China, that faraway
land of wonder and mystery, but where the Chinese first found
them is not known. The name “cinnamon,” was given to them
on account of the odor of the bloom, which is similar to that of
cinnamon. The fragrance is remarkable and too delightful to
describe. They are covered with pretty, heart-shaped glossy
leaves that turn to a golden yellow in the Fall. The wealth of
tiny white bloom with exquisite perfume adds a charm unknown
to all other climbers. The tubers are hardy and grow larger
from year to year. The tops die down every Fall but grow
again very rapidly in the spring. If given support they climb
thirty or forty feet, branching profusely, often growing 10
inches or more in a day. Each 15c; doz. $1.50; per 100, $12.00.

HARDY LILIES

Lilies are among the most beautiful and ornamental of cultivated bulbous plants, their stately habit and
variously-colored flowers (which are in many cases, highly perfumed) render them indispensable subjects
for greenhouse decoration and for the hardy flower garden.

The commoner and more plentiful species may be effectively employed for grouping or naturalizing. Many
of them are excellent for border plants when in flower, being extremely attractive in mixed arrangements,
if properly placed in respect to height. Many of the strong-growing Lilies are well adapted to planting
among shrubs, where the latter are not too thickly placed. By growing a selection of species in pots to
flower at different times, a valuable addition to greenhouse decoration is secured over a long period in Au¬
tumn and Winter. In the hardy border Lilies should always be planted not less than three in a clump
thus .’.

Delivery of imported Lily bulbs depend upon the season. Many varieties arrive after the ground is frozen
in which case we hold them in cold storage for Spring delivery.

AVe will only ship Lily bulbs in the late Autumn when we receive specific instructions to do so. Bulbs,
otherwise, will be carried through the AAhnter in cold storage and shipped early in the Spring.

bination with other tall growing flowers such as Blue
Delphiniums, they give a striking and delightful effect.
Dormant bulbs are only available from August on through

livery have been potted and are started into growth. Each

DAHLIAS

BRECK’S DAHLIAS

Until a few years ago the Dahlia was looked upon as a flower grown entirely for the show table. The more
recent introductions have brought forth a totally different class of plant with a habit of growth and a pro¬
fusion of flowers that produce a marvelous display of color in the garden and if suitable varieties are used
to harmonize with the color scheme they help greatly to maintain, in the Autumn, the brilliance of colors
when so many other plants are fading. Large groups or beds may be introduced on grass plots. In the
herbaceous border where there are narrow borders, single plants may be placed, or in the shrubbery Ijorders
between the shrubs they will be found invaluable to enliven the border. In the formal garden it is also quite
possible to use the dahlia with telling effect.

RHODODENDRONS

109

NATIVE RHODODENDRONS

The Rhododendrons with their rich green foliage are the best of the broad-leaved Evergreens. They will add
to any garden as they are not difficult to grow, especially if the native varieties are used, and the soil is
properly prei^ared. A shady location in the garden is preferred by all varieties of Rhododendrons although
they will thrive where there is some sun. They should be planted where there is a protective background

either of Evergreens or a shrub planting. In order to grow Rhododendrons to perfection, the soil should
be properly prepared. This is done by adding Leaf-lMould or Peat Mull to the soil, and where the bed has
clay soil, this should be removed or sand added to it so as to make it lighter. The beds should be made at
least 2 to feet deep and the Rhododendrons planted in groups so as to give a solid mass effect. After
the bed is planted, a covering of 3 to 4 in. of Peat Mull will help to keep the moisture during the summer
months. In the Fall, some more of this can be added or about 4 to 6 in. of leaves should be put in the bed
and left there during the next summer until the leaves are decayed and make Leaf Mould which is the best
fertilizer for Rhododendrons. As soon as they are through flowering, the seed pods should be removed as
this will give the plants strength to make the flower buds for the next season. We strongly recommend the
use of our native Rhododendrons. They are hardy, free flowering, and will survive our vigorous New Eng¬
land winters with much less loss than the Hybri d varieties. We can fill orders of any quantity and of
any size in bushy, well furnished plants. Quotations will be gladly given on carload lots delivered to any
point in New England.

DECIDUOUS TREES

W'hile the collection of trees is very large, we
have used extra care in making' up the follow¬
ing' list, selecting only varieties which have
special merit for use in lawn, park, and street
])lanting'. Deciduous trees can be safely
l)lanted in the Spring as soon as the frost is out
of the g'l'oimd, before the new growth has
started, and again in the Autumn as soon as
the early frosts have ripened the wood. We
cannot too strongly emphasize the necessity of
preparation of the ground before planting.
Too often a fine, healthy tree is squeezed into

a hole about half the size of the diameter of the
roots, afterwards filling' it with any kind of
soil. This in many cases has proved to be the
common cause of failure, which generally is
blamed to some fault of the tree. The hole
should be dug at least two feet wider than the
roots, the soil enriched with well-decayed
manure and well mixed. The roots shoulcl be
spread out, the hole gradually filled with good
loam, and afterwards well watered. The
depth can be easily judg'ed by the soil line on
the trunk.

Sizes of young trees which we can supply are shown bj' symbols following the descriptions. Ultimate height at maturity under
average conditions is denoted by letters, thus A, fifty feet or more, B, Twenty to forty feet, C, Ten to twenty feet, D, Six to ten
feet.

VINES

VINES AND CLIMBERS

Hardy Vines and Climbers can be used in a great many ways to beautify a home, covering banks where it
is hard to grow grass or to grow over a pergola or veranda where the large leaved varieties are planted to
give shade. Some of the Vines are well suited for the shady corners, such as the Hall’s Japan Honeysuckle
while others are planted for their beautiful flowers such as the Hybrid, large flowering Clematis, and the
Wisteria.

Most of the Vines and Climbers require some sort of support, others such as the Ampelopsis, Climl)ing
Hydrangeas, etc., cling to stone or brick walls, beautifying unsightly spots. Vines should be planted in a
deep rich soil, and after planting should be thoroughly watered. An occasional top dressing of some good
fertilizer such as Sheep klanure or Bone Fertilizer will help them to make a strong, healthy growth. Hardy
Climbing Roses, of great value as subjects for screening verandas, etc., will be found on page 135.

HEDGES

BRECK’S

HEDGES AND SCREENS

Shrubs or low-growing' trees may often be made to take the place of a wood or metal fence to
mark a bonndary or to discourage trespassing, and usually at less expense.

A wide range of choice in hedging materials is possible, and selections should be made with
a view to the ultimate height and density desired. For low hedges, which are to be closely
sheared, Barberry and Privet are the usual choice, spacing the plants one foot apart. For
taller hedges and screens. Willows, Lilacs, and Evergreens of various sorts are frequently
used, spacing- them three to four feet apart. Many of the Flowering Shrubs also form most
attractive hedges and borders. For a screen of extreme height and rapid growth, Lombardy
Poplars are of course to be recommended.

ROSES OUT-OF-DOORS

Rose growing is becoming more and more popular with flower lovers, especially since the introduction of so
many new varieties suitable for out-of-door culture. The best of the new, together with many of the old fa¬
vorites, are included in the following list. Prices except as otherwise noted:

Dormant Plants; $1.00 each; $9.00 for ten. Potted Plants: $1.25 each, $11.00 for ten.

NOT LESS THAN FIVE PLANTS OF ONE VARIETY AT THE TEN RATE

After May 1st we supply all varieties well established In pots.

Abbreviations: AB, Austrian Briar; HP, Hybrid Perpetual; HT, Hybrid Tea; P, Pernet.

Planting: Roses are generally planted in the early Spring al¬
though excellent results follow planting in October and No¬
vember. If one has not had the opportunity to get ready in
the early Spring, pot-grown Roses can be used all during the
Summer months. Roses are heavy feeders and the beds
should be well prepared using well rotted manure. Set the
plants 18 in. to 2 ft. apart, and bury the collar or bud about one
inch below the surface of the ground, (see illustration below).
Spread the roots and work the soil in amongst them, finally
treading firmly. Water thoroughly after planting. A Summer
mulch of Imported Peat Moss is highly recommended.

Pruning: New plants should be cut l^ack to within six inches
of the ground (see illustration below). Old plants should be
pruned in April, one-half to tworthirds of the previous season’s
growth.

Protection: (see illustration below). Hill the earth up

around the plants to a depth of six or eight inches, and when
this is frozen cover bed with strawy manure or leaves.

Use “Evergreen” as a spray for Aphis and Fungtrogen for
“Blackspot.” The use of Terogen as an Autumn-Winter
ground dressing destroys the spores of most fuiigeous diseases
as well as the larvae of insects.

TREE ROSES

Tree Roses are used most successfully in the well planned rose
garden to relieve the flat appearance that is often difficult to
get away from. In England they are used very extensively
with charming effect. They deserve far greater popularity in
this country, and the only unusual care they require is ade¬
quate winter protection. This protection may be had either by
giving the plants a thorough wrapping with straw and burlap,
or by laying them down and covering the head and main stem
with soil and then mulching in the usual way with strawy
manure or a heavy coating of hardwood leaves held in place
by Evergreen boughs. We advise Spring
planting in preference to Autumn. They
should always be well staked after plant¬
ing.

Price each: $3.00; $27.00 for ten.

making a striking display early in the season, resembling
the Spirea Van Houtte, except of course, that the flowers
are yellow. Branches growing erect reaching 6 to 8 feet.
Its habit of growth does not allow it to be used in the rose
bed, but it should be planted either as a specimen shrub,
or in a shrub border where it will grow rapidly and flower
very freely. As the flowers appear on
last year’s growth, this rose should not be
pruned until after the flowering season is
over.

Price of strong plants $1.50 each, $14.00
for ten.

HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS

The Hardy Perennials supply us with some of the most beautiful and interesting plants available for out-;
of-door culture. In this group of plants, flowers of almost every type, color and height may be found, and
by judicious selection a succession of bloom may be enjoyed from early Spring right through to hard frosts,
Among the Hardy Perennials a wonderful range of color exists, and then it must not be forgotten that
these Hardy Plants are suited to plantings of widely varying types. Our list contains many Hardy Plants
that are admirably suited to the Rock Garden. Others are of a tall and strong growing type, suited to
massing in the back of the border; and still others, like Phlox, Iris, Paeonies and the Hardy Chrysanthe¬
mums are suitable for planting in masses or in small groups or individual specimens in the garden beds.
Throughout the list we have tried to make the descriptions as accurate as possible in order to make selec¬
tion of varieties easy. Many people, however, are unfamiliar with Hardy Perennials except as a general
group, and to meet the requirements of those who lack experience we have made up a series of Collections
and Special Offers which represent extraordinary values. We beg to call these Collections to your especial!
attention as Ave include with some of them complete blue print plans making the creation of “An Old'
Fashioned Garden” easy for the most inexperienced amateur. These Collections and Special Offers ap¬
pear on the three preceding pages. The complete list of separate varieties follows.

BLACKBERRIES

The ideal crop for obtaining returns from poor lands. Yet the
cultivation of the vines should not be neglected, and liberal
fertilizing should be accorded. Mulching is of great advantage,
especially in poor soils. Plant in rows 6 feet apart, the plants
3 feet apart in the rows. Trim with a view to obtaining a crop
of excellent berries from a few strong shoots to a plant rather
than from many weak ones.

For best growth Strawberries require light fibrous or sandy
loam, well enriched, with plentiful moisture during the bearing
season. The plants should be set 12 to 15 inches apart, in rows
2Y2 to 3 feet apart. They should be kept free from weeds, and
mulched with straw or litter in Winter. Fruit is borne the year
after planting. Varieties in the following list are perfect flower¬

Mastodon. A strong growing, everbearing strawberry. It bears
profusely in the early summer and is at its best late in the
season. The berries are of good color, rather pointed, and
look more like the regular summer strawberry than any other
everbearing variety. Flavor is quite tart.

Progressive. This variety makes a vigorous growth, and pro¬
duces immense quantities of berries. Blossoms should be
kept picked off until about the middle of July. If this is
done, a heavy crop can be obtained from about the first of
August until heavy frost. The berries are of medium size
and excellent quality.

Superb. The berries of this excellent variety are a little later
than those of Progressive. The plants are about equal in
vigor of growth, but do not produce so many berries per
plant as Progressive. The quality, however, is excellent.

rich in potash, phosphate and nitrates — just
the food elements your lawn or garden

makes the grass so sturdy it won’t burn out

actually crowds out the weeds. Loma is
odorless, clean — many times more power¬

AGRICO

Contains All the Essential Elements of Plant Food for
Lawns, Gardens and Shrubs

Your soil may contain nearly all the elements needed by the
grass plant. It may lack one or more, or may be deficient in
each. The important plant foods are nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash, and agrico contains all these in the right
porportion, scientifically prepared in such form as to be
avaible to the tender plant rootlets at all times. In addition
the ingredients are so compounded as to be continuously avail¬
able throughout the season. A second dressing is, however,
advisable in late summer, to enable the grass plants to carry
through the winter.

Agrico is cheaper and better than manure. It is a complete
plant food, cleaner, more effective, easier to handle, and un¬
like manure does not introduce weeds into your soil.

out through your lawn hose charged with Lawn Vex which
comes in a form of a cartridge to be slipped into the cylinder.

NITROPHOSKA AND FLORANID
15-30-15 (Urea)

Air-Nitrogen Fertilizers arc rich in Plant Food — Clean to
handle — easy to apply.

These new air-nitrogen fertilizers are the gifts of modern
science to the farmer and the home owner. They are three
to four times as rich in plant-food as the ordinary commercial
fertilizer. As clean as sugar to handle; absolutely free from
weed seeds, odorless. They can be applied easily, in a few
minutes, to any lawn or garden of ordinary size — because “a
little goes a long way.” You will be amazed at the results.
Nitrophoska. The Concentrated Complete Fertilizer. A little
Nitrophoska fertilizes a great deal of ground. Five to ten
pounds (depending upon the natural richness of the soil) is
enough to fertilize 1,000 square feet of lawn or garden. It
may be spread broadcast by hand; dissolved in water and ap¬
plied with a sprinkling can; or mixed with such materials as
peat moss and humus before applying.

Floranid is a very rich nitrogen fertilizer (46% nitrogen),
used principally during the growing season to obtain more
rapid growth, richer color of foliage and great brilliancy of
bloom.

Prices for either Floranid or Nitrophoska.

SPRAYING CALENDAR

SPRAYING CALENDAR

This Calendar, based upon the recommendations of Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations, gives condensed direc¬
tions for combatting the commonest Insect Pests and plant diseases. The information herein is brief and careful attention
should be given to the directions for Mixing and Applying on each package of Spraying material. Timeliness and thorough¬
ness are the most important factors in controlling Plant pests with Sprays. Chewing insects and Fungeous diseases are
controlled by applying a protective coat of Poison or Fungicide to the plant before the attack of the Pest. After the injury
is apparent it is often too late to spray effectively. Sucking insects are killed only when hit with the Spray. Clear warm days
when the material dries quickly are best for spraying. Cover the plants thoroughly and evenly, using ample pressure and a
nozzle that throws a fine mist. Do not overspray until the plant drips.

Evergreens such as Arborvitae, Mugho Pines and Spruces are often infested with Scale, Mites and Gall Lice. They should
be sprayed in early Spring with Sunoco, Scalecide or Volck.

Cutworms attack all kinds of tender Garden plants. Use Snarol or Evergreen according to directions on Package and repeat
at 10 day intervals during May and June to kill migrating worms.

Wire worms are effectively combatted by spreading Cyanogas G in furrows and covering with soil. This must be done before
seed is sown. Use 1 lb. to each 100 ft. of furrow.

For Ants in the garden, blow Cyanogas G into the tunnels. In the house use Antrol.

GROWELL POTS

Light, inexpensive, of moisture retaining organic material;
they absorb and hold from 8 to 10 times their weight in mois¬
ture — prevent drying out — surplus water drains off quickly;
may be dipped in liquid fertilizer or lime water to hasten de¬
velopment. Seeds started in them sprout and grow quickly —
the roots grow all through and feed on the pot developing
sturdy plants that give better, bigger, earlier crops. Plant and
pot are set out together and no “setback” results.

CEL-O-GLASS

CEL-O-GLASS is a high
grade low-priced substitute
for glass. It is unaffected
by rain, hail, snow, sun or
wind; it can be bent or cut
to any desired shape and is
practically indestructible.
It is made by treating
coarse mesh wire cloth in
such manner that the open
spaces between the strands
are filled with a clear, transparent, tough but flexible substance
which will not rub or peel off, dry up or become brittle.

It is radically different from ordinary glass, yet in practical use
answers all demands and offers very decided advantages to the
florist and market gardener, as well as the poultryman, dairy¬
man and farmer.

HOTKAPS

Growers who prepare land and plant
seed early in the spring run the dan¬
gerous risk of late frosts. Frequently
it is too late, then, to plant another
crop. Time and effort are wasted;
money is lost. “Hotkaps” insure
against this condition. They not only
protect against frost, but shield
young plants from wind and insects
and eliminate the possibility of the
plant being damaged in a heavy rain.
They guard against too much mois¬
ture, which frequently causes a de¬
layed and weakened growth. “Hot¬
kaps” are made of a specially pre¬
pared waxed paper and are conelike
in shape, measuring about 11 inches
in diameter at the base and coming
to a point at the top. When placed
over the plants and held firmly in
place by the soil around it, “Hot¬
kaps” become individual miniature
hothouses. They are reinforced by a
strip of heavily waxed paper.

Note. To insure proper ground ven¬
tilation, it is important that “Hot¬
kaps” are not set more than from
to inch in ground.

Prices: 25c per doz; $1.25 per 100;
$11.50 per 1000; Special garden pkg.
which contains 250 Hot Kaps with
Setter $4.00 per pkg.

HOTKAP SETTERS

In placing the hotkaps over plants the Hotkap Setter will
prove very helpful. The small cone, the exact shape of the
Hotkap will quickly save its first cost in time and labor saved.

Price for Steel Setter with handle, $2.50 — price of new Paper
Mache Setter with handle 50c each.

The Standard Tractor is a practical machine — resulting from
the knowledge which the world has accumulated in the han¬
dling of power machinery — that will go into your fields and
enable you to spend your energy in the mental direction of
that power, rather than in the back breaking effort of develop¬
ing it.

The power plant in the Standard Tractor is a one cylinder, four
cycle, air cooled, gas engine; made particularly for this work.
It is not a stationary farm engine or high speed motor bicycle
engine belted up on a garden tractor; but a specially built
heavy duty, moderate speed engine with big bearings and big
motor parts; made for the STANDARD GARDEN TRAC¬
TOR. It is 3 inch bore by 3 inch stroke, giving it a horse¬
power rating of ZYz H.P.

DUBOIS WOVEN WOOD FENCE

AND REEVESHIRE FENCES

The trouble about using certain types of Fences, notably wire or iron, to sur¬
round an estate or enclose a garden is that every so often they have to be
painted, and this means tearing down vines and uprooting things generally.
But with Dubois Woven Wood Fence, it’s different.

This remarkable product of French skill and artistry has no paint problem
whatsoever. Once it’s up, the owner is through with it, while it merely mellows
with the passing years — ten, twenty, even thirty with never a need for a paint
brush, and with no other demand for maintenance expense.

That is why, among a host of other reasons, Dubois is so ideally suited for use
in gardens or wherever a good screen, background, or windbreak for flowers
and shrubbery is needed. You can train vines to grow over it, run a row of
climbing roses along it, or set out a hedge alongside it with never a thought
of having to disturb them once they have become a part of this picture.

Dubois is made of split, live, chestnut saplings closely woven together, and
bound with heavy, Copperweld wire — absolutely rustproof!

HOW DUBOIS MAY BE USED

Hundreds of applications of this sturdy fence have been made since it was first
brought to this country several years ago, among which may be mentioned;

Background for Planting
Division Fences

Screening Compost Heaps, Drive¬
ways, Laundry Yards, and Service
Yards

Snow Fence
Wind Breaks

Winter Protection for New Planting
Apartment Roof Gardens

Prices quoted are all F.O.B. New York warehouse where the Importers carry
a complete stock at all times. We are the New England distributors for all
Dubois, Cleft Chestnut and Reeveshire Hurdle Fences, and samples of the
complete line are on display at 85 State St., Boston.

HABITANT FENCES

Realizing the charm of Rustic Fences for numerous
purposes, about small, as well as large estates, archi¬
tects are including them more and more in their
specifications. Anticipating this demand. The Habi¬
tant Shops are norv manufacturing what are termed
Habitant Fences in many designs of exceptional
beauty.

They are made of Northern White Cedar and the life

of this wood is almost indefinite and as time goes on
it assumes a beautiful dark silver grey tone. Built in
standard sections 7 ft. 6 in. long with Gates to match
complete with posts.

We are the New England distributors for Habitant
Fences, and will be pleased to send you photographs
and prices upon request. A complete line of full size
samples may be seen at 85 State Street.
