tHyadcinths.

TREATMENT OF THE HYACINTH.

HERE are few bulbs so well adapted to pot culture as the Hyacinth, and
none that require less care, or give more satisfaction in their management.

j They will grow in almost any light, sandy soil, but where the highest
cultivation is aimed at, they should be planted in a mixture composed of
one-half decomposed turfy loam, with the remainder equal parts of well-
rotted manure and leaf mould, well incorporated together. The pots used
should be about six inches in diameter for single bulbs; where a massive
effect is desired, two, three, or five bulbs, in pots of proportionate size, pro-
duce a fine display. In potting, filli.1 the soil rather loosely to the rim, press

down the bulb so that about one-third of it remain; above the surface of the™

soil: the pot should then be struck smartly on a bench, so as to give the soil
the proper degree of firmness, which will bring it down to an inch or so
below the rim of the pot; water freely to still further settle the soil. The
pots should now be placed in some situation where if is cool and dark, so as
to encourage a strong development of roots before the bulb starts at the top;
such a situation may be formed by covering the pots with four or five inches
of sand in a cool cellar, nader the stage of a greenhouse, or in a cold vinery,
still enveloping them in soil or sand. If none of these conveniences are at
hand, the pots may be placed in a trench, in the open ground, covered over
with soil, and sufiicient litter placed above that to keep out the frost, so that
they can be got at when wanted. Hyacinths thus treated will have made
sufficient roots in from eight to ten weeks to admit of their being brought to
the light. As they begin to grow, water should be freely given, so that the
earth may be moistened to the bottom of the pot, for if stinted in water
while growing, the flowers will be smaller and less brilliant in color. The
difference of a week or fortnight between the periods of potting will produce
a corresponding difference in the periods of bloom.

TO GROW @ GLASSES.

Dark colored glasses are the best, the roots being impatient of light. The
bulbs should be so placed that only the base of each touches the water; the
glasses should then be removed to a cool, dark place until the roots have
reached the bottom, when they may be exposed to the light. The water
should be changed once in three or four weeks. Care should also be taken
that they are not exposed to the frost, or the glasses may be broken, and the
roots of the Hyac‘nth to some extent injured. As a general rule, single
Hyacinths succeed better in glasses than double ones.

TO GROW IN BEDS AND BORDERS.

Hyacinths may be pianted in the open ground at any time from Septem-

ber to December. To have them in the highest degree of perfection, it is

necessary that the soil be well manured. Plant the bulbs from three to four
inches G.*p, and from eight to ten inches apart. They will be benefitted by
a covering of two or three inches of decayed leaves or straw, to prevent the
action of severe-frosts; this should be removed as the plants begin to grow.

TO GROW IN MOSS, SAND, &., &.

The Hyacinth is capable of being grown in a greater variety of ways than
almost any other flower. It will grow freely in almost any medium capable
of retaining moisture, and will generally produce as fine spikes of bloom
when grown in sand, moss, or water, as when planted in the richest compost.
Porcelain, terra-cotta, stone or china vases, glass bowls or dishes, in fact any-
thing that will contain moisture may be used to advantage, and with gratify-
ing results. Fill the vessel with moss or sand, upon which arrange*the bulbs
in any form that taste may suggest. Crocuses, Snowdrops, Jonquils, and
Scillas, may be grown in the same manner, and are frequently used to fill up
the spaces and as margins to large vessels filled with Hyacinths. Care must
be taken to keep the sand or moss constantly moist. Keep in a cool, dark
place, for about a fortnight, until the roots get well started, before exposing
to the light.

Tulips.

SHERE is, perhaps, no ornament of the garden that can compare to the dazzling splendor
of the Tulip. Its varieties comprise the most valuable class of hardy bulbs for decorative
effect in the garden during the early Spring months. The absence of difficulty in their

) culture, and their requiring no protection whatever after planting, brings them within the
scope of all lovers of flowers. No other tribe of plants, whether of early or Jate blooming

character, combines so much picturesque effect, and so much glowing combination of color,
with the same neat aud diminutive style of growth. _

The time to plant Tulips is in October and November, and for early forcing, in September.
Any good garden s0:1 is suitable, yet it is desirable to see that the beds are well drained. When
planting, each bulb should be surrounded with sand to prevent them rotting. Plant about
four inches deep, and from five to six inches apart ; if allowed to remain untouched in the
beds throughout the year they will bloom freely the second year. Tulips succeed admirably
in pots, vases, boxes for sitting-room decoration, &c., &c.

Anemones,

HESE are highly ornamental hardy tubers, admirably adapted for pro-
ducing a successive display of splendid groups or masses. The flowers
are larger than the Ranunculus, and resemble a semi-double Hollyhock.
Like the former they are dwarf and compact, six to eight inches in height,
but differ in having much richer foliage, and yield a longer continuation of
bloom. The colors include the most brilliant scarlet, red, blue, dark rose,
and variously striped, and are exceedingly effective for display from February
until July. If planted from October until December, they will bloom success-
ively during the early spring months; and those planted in February and
March will bloom from April until July.

HESE beantiful plants are becoming yearly more popular as their merits
become more widely known, and certainly no class of plants are more
} deserving of extended cultivation; they are perfectly hardy, and of the
easiest culture, and many of the varieties are possessed of the most deli-
cious fragrance. They are admirably adapted for pot culture, or for the
decoration of the greenhouse or conservatory, and will flourish in almost any
soil or situation. After once planting, they require very little care, and
should not be disturbed oftener than once in three years, as established plants
bloom more freely than if taken up annually.

OR symmetry in form and brilliancy in color, in almost all the varieties
and hues which are recognized among flowers, the Ranunculus is proba-
il bly unequalled by any other. For its culture, it requires a good depth of
~ rich garden soil. From October to December is the best period for plant-
| Ing (and in the early Spring months for succession), in drills across the bed
| two inches deep, and each drill six or eight inches apart. After planting the
tubers firmly with the claws downward, cover them with one inch of sand
previous to the final cover of soil. As a protection from severe frosts, the
beds may be covered with a good layer of dry tan, litter or leaf mould.
The Ranunculus forms its roots near the surface, and therefore is unable
to withstand a dry and parched soil; hence it is essential to water them freely.

MUSHROOM SPAWN.

Mushrooms may be grown in a warm cellar or shed in Winter, or in the
open air in Summer. Take partially dry fresh horse manure, and lay it ina
heap to ferment ; turn and mix it well every few days, and when well and
equally fermented, which will be in from ten to fifteen days, it may be made
into a bed four feet wide and about two feet deep, mixing it well together,
and beating or treading it firmly. As soon as the temperature of the bed falls
from 75 degrees to 50 degrees, the spawn may be inserted in pieces about the
size of a walnut, about two inches deep and six inches apart. Cover with
loamy soil about two inches deep, and beat it down evenly and firmly. Finish
off with a covering of clean straw or hay about a foot thick. Water when
necessary with luke-warm water, and expect mushrooms in from four to six
weeks. Per pound, 15 cents; eight pounds for $1.

STRAWBERRY PLANTS.

*ULTIVATION.—Planted in Fall, from the middle of October to middle of
| November is the best time, as the roots are then well ripened and better
|) able to bear transplanting than if taken up in September, when the plants
J are still growing, and the roots soft and easily damaged by exposure.
Strawberries may be grown on any soil that will produce corn or potatoes. A
light clay loam, well enriched with rotten barnyard manure, is the most
favorable soil for most varieties. As soon as the plants are received, open the
package or box at once, and, if possible, plant the same day. If the groundis ||
not ready, or for other causes the planting has to be delayed, untie each
bundle and heel in the plants in a shady place, or cover with damp moss and
keep in a cool cellar until ready for planting. In the garden, plant in rows18 |
inches apart, by 12 inches in the rows: after every third row, leave a space of
two feet instead of 18 inches for a path. In the field, for cultivation by horses,
the rows should be three feet apart. After the beds are marked out, make,
with a hoe ee a trowel, a hole for each plant, large enongh to admit al! the
roots of the plant without crowding or bending them over. Then spread the
~ yoots in the hole and then fill up the hole to the crown of the plant, but no
more. If the ground is very dry, it is best to plant towards evening, and to
water the plants well. To secure healthy plants and a bountiful crop of fruit,
the year after planting, the plants should not be allowed to bear the first
season; the runners must be cnt off before the tips take root, and the grounds
kept loose and free from weeds. When lasting cold weather seitsin, inthis |
latitude about the last week in November, the plants should be covered with |
straw or leaves, or salt hay, or any other light material, to the depth of one or
two inches. This mulch is not removed until after the bearing of the plant.
In the Spring, when the strawberry leaves start, open, with a pointed stick or |
the hand, the mulch over the crown of each plant. No other careis required |
before bearing. After the last picking the mulch is to be taken away alto- |
gether, and the beds cultivated as during the previous season. A strawberry |
bed managed in this way will last three to four years, so that, in order to

the Northern cities two weeks earlier than formerly—berries of this variety
having been offered for sale in New York in the month of March. The plant
is very prolific and hardy at the North, as well as at the South. The berries
are of good size and quality, firm, and have every requisite necessary for a
first-class market fruit. Price, $3 per dozen; $20 per hundred

STRAWBERRIES, LAYERED IN POTS.

The plan of layering Strawberry runners in small pots, enables them to
be planted with perfect safety at any time during Summer or Fall. Plants so
grown and set out any time before the end of September, will give a full crop
next season. 100 such plants will give as much fruit as 1,000 will, if planted
from the nursery in the usual way, without being layered in pots.

The varieties we offer that we layer in pots, are —

Winter Flowering Plants,

FOR PARLOR OR GREENHOUSE,

Last season our “Specially Prepared Winter Flowering Plants” were so
satisfactory to our customers, that we have great pleasure in again offering a
still richer collection, at rates much reduced from last year. This we can well
afford to do, as our facilities for propagating and growing plants are not sur.
passed by any other on this continent. Our Greenhouses now cover upwards
of two acres, solid in glass structures, employing steadily fifty hands through-
out the year.

The plants, with few exceptions, are such kinds as can be easily grown in
any ordinary Parlor, Sitting-Room or Green-House, where the night tempera-
ture will average 55 degrees. There are a few Tropical plants included in the
list that will not do weil at a less temperature than 65 degrees at night—these
are marked thus * to distinguish them.

We can either send by Mail or by Express, as desired, only when sending
by Mail a smaller size plant is sent; but whenever it is practicable, we
strongly advise that plants be sent by Express; for, though the purchaser is
required to pay Express charges (which are usually moderate from our light
system of packing,) yet he always buys cheaper—quality of plants considered
—than when plants are sent by mail free.

In packing, all plants are taken from the pots to ensure lightness and
safety in packing, and when received, they should be re-potted in a size larger
pots than they have been grown in, or in boxes of earth an inch or two deeper
than the pot they have been grown in.

Bulbs, Seeds, or any other article offered in this Catalogue, can be sent
with plants in same package when desired. _

Gardening for Pleasure!

I have endeavored to make it so plain that any one entirely ignorant of
gardening matters may easily understand it; it is intended to embrace the
entire subject of garden operations—Flowers, Fruits and Vegetables. The
price of the book is $1.50. To all purchasers of $10 worth of Plants, Bulbs, or
Seeds in one order, it will be sent gratis. When the book is not wanted, the |}
value will be sent in extra Plants or Seeds. if

CARDENING FOR PLEASURE.

This will be found to fill a place which neither of the author’s previous works—‘“‘Garden- |
ing for Profit”’ or “‘ Practical Floriculture ’’—have properly filled, these being mainly forCom- ||
mercial Gardeners. The present work has been written in compliance with the request of |
hundreds of our amateur patrons, and it is hoped that-the subject has been made so piain, that
the most inexperienced cultivator can make his gardening operations—whether of fruits,
flowers or vegetables—a success, whether his area of soil be confined to a rod or an acre, or to
a few plants in a parlor, or to a fully appointed conservatory. It is fully illustrated.

Price, Post-paid, - - - $1.50.
