NOTICE:

E have the pleasure to present you with our ANNUAL CATALOGUE
or SrEps for the season of 1874, and hope to be favored with
your early orders. Our supply of all the different varieties of

e SrEps is complete, and of the very best quality. With the ex-
ception of Cabbage and Onion seeds, the crops were good, and prices are
about the same as in 1873. Onion and Cabbage were a light crop, and
prices are somewhat higher for prime new stock. The Sreps we offer are all
fresh-grown, and can not fail of giving great satisfaction. We should be
pleased to receive orders from Granges and Clubs, and will quote special
rates for large quantities. (See page 11.) We guarantee promptness and
dispatch with all orders intrusted to us.

EXPRESS.

We have made arrangements with the Adams and other express com-
panies to forward packages and boxes at the Lowes? RATEs to all parts of
the United States.

FAST FREIGHT — Merchants’ Despatch.

This line takes packages, bundles, or boxes to all of the principal cities
of the West at very low rates, making quick time; and, considering the
very low rates and dispatch, we are inclined to recommend this mode of
shipment for large packages and machines.

SEEDS BY MAIL — Post-paid.

We will, as has formerly been our custom, forward parcels of seeds by
MAIL, postage paid; but all such packages are limited by law to four pounds
each. Peas, Beans, Corn, Onion Sets, Potatoes, and Grass Seeds, being of
greater bulk and weight, necessitate an extra charge of 15 cents per quart,
which customers will please bear in mind when.remitting.

OUR TERMS ARE CASH WITH ORDER.

We can not undertake to forward goods by express, with instructions
to collect bill on delivery. All orders, to insure prompt attention, MUST BE
ACCOMPANIED WITH A REMITTANCE TO COVER THE SAME. |

Remittances may be by Draft on New-York, Philadelphia, or Boston,
Post-office Money-order, or a Registered Letter. Moneysent in an ordinary
envelope will be at the risk of the party sending.

guarantee of fine sample and true to name. We also have all the different

NEW POTATOES.

Brownell’s Beauty. Raised by Mr. E. 8. Brownett, of Vermont.
A cross between the Early Rose and White Peachblow: possessing, in
addition to the excellent qualities of these two popular varieties, that of
being the handsomest Potato in cultivation, and a most excellent keeper;
ripens about a week later than the Early Rose. Price: $1.00 per pound;
three pounds for $2.00, by mail, post-paid. By express or freight, charges
to be paid by purchaser: one peck, $5.00; half-bushel, $8.00; one bushel,
$15.00; one barrel, $30.00.

Extra Early Vermont. Seven to ten days earlier than the Early

~ Rose; excellent flavor; very productive; from a seed-boll of the Jackson

White, fertilized with the Chile; superior in quality to the Early Rose.
By mail, post-paid: one pound, 75 cents; two pounds, $1.00. By express:
one peck, $3.00; half-bushel, $5.00; one pusher ly 00; one barrel, $20.00,—
charges paid ay purchaser.

Compton’s Surprise (Red Skin). Five hundred and eleven

4 : pounds grown from one pound of seed! A seedling of the Prince Albert

fertilized with pollen of the Long Pink-eye. The most productive sort
ever introduced. It retains its quality perfectly throughout the year,

| “appearing on the table like a ball of flour. By mail, post-paid: one

pound, $1.00; three pounds, $2.00. By express: half-peck, $3.00; peck,
$5.00; bushel, $15.00,— charges paid by purchaser.

Onion Seed. In regard to this very important article, we beg to
assure our numerous customers, that, as heretofore, our seed is grown
_ with the greatest care, from selected stocks, and can not fail of producing
satisfactory results. We have received hundreds of letters from our

| : ' customers confirming our statement; viz.: Eastern-grown seed—espe-
aS cially Wethersfield-grown—is far superior to that grown west. It is
__ earlier, it is far better to yield, to keep, and is of finer grain and flavor.

News Rare, and Special Vegetable Seeds for 187A.
Ce ee a eS eS ee a eee
Charter Oak Tomato. No variety heretofore introduced can

equal it in regard to flavor, earliness, smoothness, and solidity; a most
valuable sort for market gardeners. (See cut.)

Arlington Tomato. Originated in Arlington, Va., by C. Dwicut
Surra, Esq., and is a cross between the Early Smooth Red and the Feejee;
invariably perfectly solid to the center, with very small seed-cells; core
never gréen or hard when ripe, but of the same rich color and delicate
texture throughout; ripens evenly to the stem; very prolific, and of fine

flavor. : Es
Per packet, 15 cents. | Per ounce, $1.90.

Tennis Ball, or Boston Market Hot-House Lettuce.
(White seeded.) This variety has long been known and cultivated by
the market cardeners in the vicinity of Boston, who have found it the
only variety to successfully cultivate under glass, for winter or spring use.
The importance of the crop, and the great care and expense required in
its production, render the purity and good quality of the seed of the
ereatest importance. I have therefore grown from pure stock a few pounds
-of this kind, and offer it to gardeners and others who require a really
choice thing.

Per packer 10 cents. | Per ounce, 50 cents. | Per pound, $6.00.

Carter’s New Maltese Parsnip. A most excellent variety, the
base of the leaf-stems presenting the appearance of a Maltese cross. This
variety shows a marked improvement in texture and quality upon the
sorts at present in cultivation.

Per packet, 5 cents. | Per ounce, 20 cents.

Marblehead Squash. New. (See cut.) Very productive; dry,
and of superior quality; Reeve better than the Hubbard, which it some-

what resembles. 3
Per saree 13 cents. ;

Fine Mixed Lawn Grass Seed,

Composed of the finest dwarf and evergreen grasses, and especially
adapted for Lawns, Cemeteries, and Plots. We take great pains in
the prep aration of this seed, using none but the choicest varieties,
perfectly free from foul seed, and can refer to many beautiful Lawns |
in this city as the result of the use of this Mixture.

No one should expect to obtain a perfect Lawn in one season.
Much, however, depends upon the character of the soil, the care and
management, time of sowing, and the weather. Probably the best
time to seed a Lawn is early in the spring, as early as the ground can |
de worked, and a top-dressing of old compost or fine cow-manure |
(stable-manure should never be used, on account of the danger of |
foul or foreign seeds) applied and thoroughly raked in before sowing.

It is best to sow a little perennial Rye Grass, or a few Oats, in
order to protect and shade the young and tender spear of grass from |
the scorching rays of the sun, as well as the cold, drying winds
which sometimes prevail in the earlyspring. September and Octo- ,
ber are good months to seed down in. The ground at thistime being
moist and cool, there is less danger of injury from drouth. After)
sowing, the ground should be rolled with an iron garden-roller, in |
order to compress the earth around the small seeds; and on ground
so prepared, the seed will come up more evenly, present a finer ap- |
pearance, and stand the drouth better, than when simply raked |
over. Fine ground bone, wood ashes, and ground plaster, equal |
parts, mixed, and used occasionally as a top-dressing, is the very |
best fertilizer that can be applied... Guano or superphosphates
should not be used at the time of sowing, nor during the first year. |

In your order how you wish your Seeds sent,—by Mail, by Express, or by
Freight. If the order is mostly made up of packets, ounces, and pounds of
small seeds, we can send best by mail. If the order includes Peas, Beans,
and Corn in quantity, we advise sending by Express, as these articles
weigh so heavy the postage is often more than the expressage. If the
order is large, and includes bulk seeds and any implements, we prefer to
ship by ‘“‘ Mrrcnants’ Despatcu, Fast Freicut,” as their rates are very
low to all principal points west.

The prices quoted in our List for seeds by the bushel are Net Casn,
delivered at the Express or Freight Office, and purchasers are in all cases
expected to pay their own freight or expressage. We will, however, in all
cases, obtain the lowest rates for our customers, and guarantee prompt
dispatch. If goods do not come promptly to hand, within a reasonable
time, please give us due notice, and we will ascertain the cause of delay

at once.

THE VITALITY OF SEEDS.

Ir is of importance to know how long seeds retain their germinating powers, to prevent
the sowing of those of impaired vitality, as well as to avoid throwing away those which.
though several years old, are still good. The test with water is not reliable, as good seed will
frequently float, and that which is bad will often sink. The only sure test is to plant a
counted number of seeds in a pot or box of earth, and keep it in a warm room. If three-
fourths germinate, the seed may be considered of average good quality.

Good for One Year:—Leeks, Onions, Parsnips.

Good for Two Yeazs:—Beans, Carrots, Egg-Plant, Okra, Peas, Peppers, Rhubarb, Sage,
Salsify, Thyme.

Good for Three Years:—Asparagus, Endive, Lettuce, Parsley, Radish, Spinach.

Good for Four Years :—Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Celery, Turnip.

Good for Five to Ten Years :—Beet, Cucumber, Melon, Pumpkin, Squash, Tomato.

DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING A HOT-BED.

To prepare a hot-bed, a quantity of fresh stable-manure should be well
shaken up in a heap, about the middle of February or first of March; after
remaining three days, it should again be shaken up and turned over, and
again at another interval of three days. Let the manure remain for three
or four days more in the heap, and then form the bed of any dimensions
that may be requisite, according to size and number of frames to be used,
making the bed about a foot wider than the frame all around. The bed.
when made, should not be less than three feet high; the situation for it
should be dry underneath, sheltered from the north as much as possible,
and fully exposed to the sun. In making up the bed, beat the manure well
down with the fork. Place about eight inches of light, rich soil in the
frame after it is placed on the bed, so that the surface of the soil may be
from six to eight inches from the top of the frame. After the bed has
stood with the lights on, but raised a few inches to let the steam escape, for a
few days, sow the seed of Cabbage, Cauliflower, Celery, Lettuce, Radish,
&c., &c. When the seeds make their appearance above ground, give some
air, day and night, in moderate weather, by raising the lights two or three
inches; and, as the heat of the bed diminishes, increase the supply of air
to prevent the plants being drawn up. In severe weather, the frame and
lights should be covered at night with mats or straw. In a high wind,
protect the sides of the bed also in the same way, or the current of air
through will extinguish the heat of the bed. If made early in the season,
water will only be required when the earth in the frame becomes quite
dry; as the plants increase in size, the supply of water may be increased.
In frosty or cold weather, the water should be made milk-warm before it
is used: this is important.

Seeds of Tomato, Pepper, and Egg-Plant should not be sown at same
time with Cabbage, Cauliflower, Lettuce, Radish, &c., as they require more
heat; therefore, should not be put in hot-bed until about the first or

14 R. D. HAW LEY’S

middle of March, or until a bright March sun, with milder nights, gives
the proper temperature,—70° to 80°. To avoid disappointment, note the

above.

HOW TO RAISE ONIONS

WITH

COMSTOCK’S SEED-SOWER, HAND-CULTIVATOR, AND ONION-WEEDER.

THE Onion is not so particular about the character of the original soil
as many suppose. Good crops can be obtained on almost any soil not too
wet or too dry, except a stiff clay, lightsand, or hungry gravel. Itis essen-
tial, however, that the land should have been made rich by the thorough
incorporation of manures in clean tillage for at least two years from the
sod. Corn, and then potatoes, carrots or beets, highly manured, are good
preparatory crops. One or two heavily manured tobacco crops admirably
fit the ground for onions. Old vegetable gardens are, perhaps, the best,
except where cabbages have been grown, which are the worst of all. pre-
ceding crops. Heavy, or rather clayey, moist (not wet) loam generally
produces the largest onions. If coarse manure is to be used, spread on 20
or 30 loads to the acre about the middle of November, and plow it in not
very deep, or one ton of fish-guano spread on after plowing, and harrow it
in. Raw fish-guano put on in the spring will keep the onions growing too
late to ripen well. Then in the spring, as soon as the ground will work,
plow four inches deep and spread on a good dressing of fine compost,
or 300 to 500 pounds of Peruvian guano, superphosphate of lime, or bone-
dust, the quantity depending upon the richness of the land, and harrow it
in thoroughly — back-harrow and harrow again, and finish with the back-
harrow. If not smooth enough, dress over with rakes. Land not manured
in the fall should be heavily manured in the spring with fine hog-pen or
stable manure, free from grass and weed seeds, plowed in, and the guano
and other fertilizers harrowed in. The fish and muck compost make an
excellent top-dressing, harrowed in, —1,000 pounds of the fish to the acre.
It should be prepared three weeks before using, by mixing three shovels
of moist swamp-muck to one of fish-pomace, and turned once a week until
made fine.

Every farmer and gardener should have a reel and line and a marking-
rake. The reel and line may be bought at an agricultural store, and the
rake may be made by any mechanic or the farmer himself. To construct
a marking-rake, make the head 3 feet 10 inches long by 2 inches square;
bore four #-inch holes 14 inches apart, commencing 2 inches from the ends,
one hole in the center, and holes at 12, 15, 164, and 18 inches each side of
it; make four teeth 6 inches long, an inch thick, with a shoulder at the

RETAIL PRICE-LIST FOR 187A. 15

top, and round them at the points; secure them with a pin or key at the
tops, so they can be easily changed and adjusted to the different widths.
The handle of the marker should be 6 feet long, split and spread so as to
form braces where it is fastened to the head. These will save a great many
steps in laying out ground; besides the straight and uniform rows enable
the workman to accomplish a great deal more in cultivating and weeding
with the new implements.

The land being prepared for sowing, stick down the stake, run off the
line, and lay it where it is desired to commence; adjust the marking-rake
to 14 inches, draw the outside tooth carefully by the line, and follow back
and forth in the last mark until completed. After the ground is marked
off, it should le a little while for the surface to dry before sowing the seed.
It covers much better, and the dirt will not stick to the wheels of the seed-
sower. The best onion-growers now do not use sowers with a roller at-
tached ; it packs the earth so hard that it bakes after a heavy rain, and
-very much impedes the growth of the young plants; and it is not so easy
in weeding to break the crust when rolled down flat, as when the seed is
covered by rakes, cultivator teeth, a coverer, or a light drag.

Comstock’s SEED-SoWER is specially adapted to sowing onions at the
rate of 4, 5, and 6 pounds of seed to the acre, and distributes it so evenly
that no thinning is required. Sow 4 to 6 pounds to the acre, say about 2
seeds to an inch for thin, and 5 seeds to 2 inches or 3 to an inch for thick
sowing; cover half an inch; sow the thinnest when very large onions are
wanted. Five pounds is about right for medium-sized onions. As soon as
the onions are up so they can be seen the length of the rows, run Com-
sTOCK’s OnIoN-WEEDER through them with the rakes adjusted so as not to
throw the earth upon the young plants, and repeat often enough to prevent
the growth of the weeds. The implement will keep the ground perfectly
clean between the rows, accomplishing as much as half a dozen men with
hoes. When they are just out of the double, or straightened up, or when
the first weeds begin to show, after cultivating with Comsrock’s Hanp-
CuLtivaTor, the ground should be raked lightly diagonally across the rows
with a common wooden rake. This will break the crust, destroy the weeds
in the rows, and give the young plants a good start.

Early in June, when the onions are 4 or 5 inches high, sow about 3
bushels to the acre of not very coarse salt broadcast over them. After the
second weeding, spread on a good dressing of wood-ashes, leached or un-
leached, 30 to 50 bushels to the acre. They require three or four weedings —
in the rows; but, if pains were taken, in marking and sowing, to keep the
rows straight and uniform, the Onion-Weeder will run so close to them
that there will be but few weeds to remove by hand. When the tops have
fallen and nearly dried down, draw four rows of onions together with a
wooden rake, raking two rows at a time toward the other two rows. They

16 R. D. HAWLEY’S

may remain in rows as raked together until sufficiently cured to strip,
which is done by cutting off the tops about an inch from the onions. .
After stripping, spread them, on a dry day, over the floor of an out-build-
ing, not over a foot thick, and turn them occasionally. When the ground
is infested by worms or maggots, sow 5 or 6 bushels of salt broadcast and
harrow in before sowing the seed.

It is of the utmost importance to get good seed,—not only good strong
srowing seed, but seed that has been raised from good-sized, well-ripened,
selected onions. Imported seed, especially from England, does not mature
well in this country. The Wethersfield Large Red Onion, which is the
kind now mostly raised in Wethersfield, is the best red, and the true thick
Danvers is the best yellow, for cropping and marketing.

It is well known to gardeners, that if onions once get choked with
weeds, they never fully recover so as to produce the best results. The
land is so easily kept clean with the Onion-Weeder, that a largely increased
yield is obtained over the ordinary cultivation with the hoe. The facility
of gathering the crop in clean ground is also greatly increased, and no
weeds are left to seed the land the next year. Onions are one of the most
profitable of crops, often yielding 400 to 600, and sometimes 800, bushels
to theacre. The consumption has very largely increased the last few years,
so that it is not often there is want of market for them at a good price.

PATENT HARD STEEL PLOWS.

THE great aim of plow manufacturers
has been to produce Plows with an
; {a outer surface hard enough to wear
ake fl, well; but, previous to the introduc-
tion of this patent, the trouble has
invariably been, that when made hard
they were brittle and liable to break,
{i and that when left soft they wore away
too quickly. The Plows made under»
ily | this patent are free from such disad-
Wi vantages, and adapted to all kinds of
: ! soil, by having strength, lightness,

| durability, and all the good qualities
Nt \\ of other Plows combined.

'\, | They possess these qualities by their
WTI metal having had about one-third on
| (| each side converted into steel, without

},\ changing thecenter. Thisallowseach
in AN | piece to be hardened as much as fire

\ ! and water can make it, while the cen-
ter remains flexible, ad gives them
4 a toughness that avoids all liability
of breakage. It also gives them a
| surface better adapted toslide through
' the soil than is possessed by other
is Plows, which reduces the amount of
MV a _ power required, besides further add-
hee ing to durability.

The Knox’s Patent Plows, made of
this material, have been abundantly
tried on very hard, tough, and stony

. round, and accomplish good even

SS ne where others leave it unpulver-

ized clods. An examination of a piece of the metal plainly shows the

flexible iron center and two steel sides in one solid mass, which secures

extra strength. The superiority in scouring properties is also readily seen

in the fact, that if a file is rubbed across it, no mark is left, while that of
other Plows is quickly marked when subjected to the same test.

For which we are the sole agents in Hartrorp, is the most perfect working
Horse Rake which we have ever seen; and when we refer back to the old
Wood Revolver, or the Wire-Tooth Scratch Rake, of sixteen to twenty
years ago, it is with much pleasure that we now offer this splendid machine
to you. A fall description here can not be expected; but we ask you to
examine and try the Rake, when the proper season arrives. The Hollings-
worth Sulky Rake was awarded the First Prize, a Gotp Mepat, at the
Vermont State trial, at Rutland, July 9, 10, 11, and 12, 1872; also, the Gold
Medal, at Auburn, N.Y., 1866.

ELITE OE

Tuts is one of the most valuable and Lagpor-savine IMPLEMENTS employed
in the cultivation of the tobacco crop, and is very generally used through-
out the tobacco-growing section. After thoroughly pulverizing and smooth-
ing the surface, this implement is used to form the ridges on which to set
the plants, and which, at the same time, by the use of the wheel attach-
ment, marks the place to set the plant at the desired distance.

By the use of this Machine, the top-dressing is all brought directly
together in the ridge and directly under the plant; it also insures perfect
uniformity, and adds much to the good appearance of the field.
