BULBS For WILD GARDENS 48° NATURAL PLANTATIONS.
A natural plantation of Narcissus Poeticus Ornatus.
HE WILD GARDEN is nearer to nature than any other style of garden. It is simple, inexpensive, permanent, and being ar-
ranged on nature’s plan it is not readily destroyed by occasional neglect.
Its SuBjects are the best of our native plants and plants allied to ‘them from countries having climates similar to our own.
From northern Japan, Siberia, northern Europe and the mountainous parts of southern Europe, there have been obtained many
plants adapted to the American Wild Garden. ;
Among hardy herbaceous plants the Asclepias, Asters, Boltonias, Campanulas, Columbines, Dictamnus, Epilobium, Echi-
nops, Day-Lilies, Lobelias, Lythrum, Monarda, Evening-Primroses, Rudbeckias, Stokesia, Thermopsis, are a few of the many available.
We shall be pleased to furnish a larger list with prices upon application. ;
The following bulbous plants” are especially suitable for natural plantations, and when once planted hold their own and increase
with little or no further care.

CULTURE OF HYAGINGIE ae
YACINTHS IN POTS. It is important
in the pot culture of the hyacinth to
have rich, light soil—if possible, a com-
post of one-third decayed turf, one-third
old rotten cow manure, and the remainder
equal parts of sharp sand and leaf-mould.
This compost should be made a few weeks
before being used. If the bulbs are to be
potted singly, pots five inches in diameter
are the proper size,and the special Hyacinth
pots which are about two inches deeper
than ordinary pots, are preferable. For
drainage, cover the hole in the pot with
a piece of broken pot, and over this
place a layer of moss. Break off any
offsets which appear at the base of the
bulbs, and in potting place each bulb so
that its top shall be half an inch below the
surface of the soil and an inch below the
rim of the pot. The soil should be of
usual natural moisture, and should be
pressed moderately firm. The filled pots
muy be placed in a cold frame where there
is protection from frost, and well watered.
An excellent plan is to place them on a
bed of moist, sifted coal ashes, covering
the pots to a depth of six inches with the
same material. When well rooted, which
will be in about six weeks, the bulbs may
be brought indoors and forced. For the
first two or three weeks they should be
kept in a temperature not exceeding 50
degrees. Success in forcing depends much
on their having strong roots before being
brought to the light. The top grows
rapidly, and unless the roots are started
much in advance they are unable to nour-
ish the plant, and failure results.
Hyacinths for early use may be potted
in September or October; late planting is
not advisable, as the bulbs deteriorate;
when desired for late use, it is better to
pot them in October and keep them in a
cold frame above freezing until it is
desired to force them into bloom.
To obtain dwarf foliage and fine flower
spikes, Hyacinths when being forced should
have plenty of manure-water, fresh air,
and should be kept very near the glass.
The blooms last much longer if shaded
from the sun.
Hyacinths in Fibre. A most interesting
method of growing bulbs, is to place
them in bowls, and jardinieres, filled with
fibre. For this system of culture no
drainage is necessary; place a few pieces
of charcoal at the bottom of the bowl,
cover with fibre according to the depth
of bowl, placing the bulbs so that their
tips reach to within half inch of the rim.
The spaces between and around the bulbs
to be filled with fibre carefully firmed.
The bulbs will require no attention for
the first few weeks, and may be set in a
warm airy position where light is excluded.
Narcissus, Tulips, and many other bulbs,
may be grown in fib-e.
Hyacinths in Glasses. The single varieties are, with a few exceptions, best adapted to this mode of culture; they produce finer
flower spikes than the double. Fill the glass with clear, soft water, so as nearly to touch the base of the bulb, putting a small piece of
charcoal in each glass to keep the water pure, and afford some nourishment. The filled glasses should be placed in a dry, cool, dark
place, and kept there until the roots almost touch the bottom of the glass, when they may be exposed gradually to the light. If the
water in the glasses becomes foul, or diminished, replace it with fresh water at about the same temperature as the atmosphere in which
the bulbs are growing; otherwise it need not be changed. When well started, the bulbs should have plenty of light and air, without
draughts, in order that the best development and brilliancy of color may be attained.
Hyacinths in the Open Garden. The ground should be dug to a depth of at least fifteen inches, and enriched with plenty of well-
rotted cow manure. Hyacinths may be planted from September until winter sets in; although if the highest success is sought they
should be in the ground by the end of October. Bulbs planted early develop roots in the autumn, and these, if protected from injury
by freezing and thawing alternately during the winter, enable the bulbs to produce much larger flower spikes than if the roots are not
developed until spring. Frost reaching the bulbs raises them up, thus detaching them from their roots. Protection may be afforded
by covering the beds with straw or leaves to a depth of six or eight inches, which should be removed early in the spring. Hyacinths
should be set six inches below the surface of the ground and six inches apart.

FARQUHAR’S EXTRA LARGE NAMED BEDDING AND FORCING HYACINTHS.
The Reduced Price at which these Hyacinths are offered this year makes them attractive for out-door
bedding and winter forcing.
This highly decorative class of Hyacirths is of unsurpassed excellence for producing fine color effects in public parks and private grounds. Being
of distinct and decided shades, of almost uniform height, and blooming at the same time, they admit of the most artistic grouping.
They are also very desirable for forcing singly in pots or grouped in bulb pans.

SINGLE MAY-FLOWERING OR COTTAGE GARDEN TULIPS.
HE May-Flowering Tulips are usually in full bloom about Memoriai Day and generally last well into June. Not only do they
prolong the Tulip season but in grandeur of form and richness of their colors surpass most of the earlier classes. They are
splendid subjects for natural plantations. for clumps in herbaceous pereanial borders as well as for formal beds. For cutting they
are even better than the early tulips—the flowers being stronger and lasting longer.

bloom by Thanksgiving.

The delicately graceful forms, delicious fragrance, and deep yellow color
of their blossoms have made the Jonquils favorites of the amateur and neces
sities with the florist. They are easily forced, and if started early may |
by Christmas, or even earlier. Plant six or eight bulbs ina s
covering the crowns half an inch, and treat them in the same
for hyacinths.

NARCISSI OR DAFFODILS.
Wiles For Natural Plantations. This is the
z Lh apt bss j i : I ps day of the natural garden and the Daffo-
i Awe PR pe dils are among its most charming subjects.
Once planted there is no limit to their
existence and they improve and multiply
each year, provided they are replanted
when after several years they become too
crowded. There is not a single sort in
the entire list that may not be advan-
tageously used. The accompanying illus-
tration shows a natural border of Poeticus,
one of the cheapest, yet most fascinating
Daffodils. Other inexpensive forms suitable
for such massing are Barri Conspicuus
and many of the Leedsi and Incompara-
bilis sections, while the large trumpet
varieties, many of which are likewise inex-
pensive, may be planted in comparatively
small clumps with good effect. Each clump
or mass should be of one variety — they
should not be mixed —but the effect of
planting a number of kinds each in a separate
clump is most pleasing and extremely inter-
esting.
For Formal Beds. The Daffodils are
charming, too, planted in beds, especially
when combined with an undergrowth of
the blue Scilla Siberica, Forget-me-not, or
other dwarf spring flowers. They should
be planted in October or early in November.
The bulbs should be set from four to five
inches deep; the larger sorts five or six inches
apart and the small varieties three to four
inches. They should never be planted in
very windy situations.
For Clumps in Hardy Plant Borders.
Groups of Daffodils in borders of hardy
herbaceous plants and along the edges of
shrubbery beds are exceedingly effective
and delicately beautiful.
For Greenhouse Culture. The com-
mercial florists have been foremost to give
the Daffodils the attention due them. They
have learned how easily and successfully
these lovely flowers may be forced into
bloom during winter (even as early as
Christmas), and how fascinating and lasting
are the blossoms. They may be planted in
pots or bulb pans six inches or more in
diameter, several bulbs in each, according
to size, and treated in the same manner as
Hyacinths.

NOTICE.
Many of the late flowering
lilies cannot be shipped from Japan until October, and to
save our customers the annoyance and expense of shipments
as they mature, we have decided to send all the early varieties,
SPECIAL
approximately September 15-30. The late sorts, being
subject to delays of steamers, etc., will be forwarded early
in November, or as soon thereafter as they arrive. We advise
the preparation of the Lily- beds or borders early in autumn,
covering them with four to six inches of leaves or other litter,
to prevent the ground freezing until the bulbs arrive. The
late sorts comprise the following: Auratum, Batemanni,
Krameri, Henryi and Speciosum.
li Lilies are wanted by mail, add 5 cents each.
TWO RARE LILIES FROM CHINA
HARDY, BEAUTIFUL, FRAGRANT.
THE FINEST NOVELTIES EXTANT.
Mr. E. H. Wilson, the famous
plant collector, collected for us the bulbs now offered,
in North-western China. He considers this the finest of
alllilies. It is absolutely hardy, and is excellent for forcing.
It has been predicted that this will become the Easter
Lily of the future, and being so hardy, may be grown at
home. The flowers are white, slightly suffused with pink
and with a beautiful shade of canary yellow at the centre,
and extending part way up the trumpet. It is delightfully
perfumed, reminding one of the jasmine, and lacking the
heavy oppressive odor of most lilies. Blooms out-of-doors
early in July. Awarded a Gold Medal by the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society, and a first-class certificate by the
Royal International Exhibition, London, 1912. Bulbs,
ready in October, each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00.
The bulbs offered were also collected
by Mr. Wilson. This is one of the strongest growing
lilies—frequently attaining a height of six to eight feet.
The flowers vary in number from five to ten on a stalk,
and in size and shape resembling Lilium Harrisii, greenish
white, shaded purple on the outside, and of the purest
white within, with a tint of citronin the centre. The flowers
have a pleasing fragrance. This lily will undoubtedly
be largely used for outdoor planting as well as for forcing.
Many consider it the finest of all tubular-flowered lilies. It
flowers somewhat later than Lilium myriophyllum and being of larger growth, has a distinct place.
Bulbs, ready in October, each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00.

LILIES FOR FORCING.
HE bulbs may be potted from Au-
gust onward in a compost of equal
parts turfy loam, leaf mold, rotten cow
manure, and sand. It is best to start
them in pots not exceeding twice their
own diameter, in which they may re-
main until started eight inches or more.
They should be transferred then to larger
pots in which to bloom, exercising great
care not to disturb the roots or break
away the soil from about them, and set-
ing them considerably deeper in the
larger pots. This method prevents the
soil from becoming sour, and enables the
roots forming at the base of the stem
to become feeders, greatly increasing the
number and size of the blossoms.

GERMAN IRISES. (Iris Germanica. True Fleur-de-L1s.)

| planted they should remain undisturbed. Set the roots in clumps of three or more, four inches deep, and protect with leaves or
other mulch durnng winter. We advise early autumn planting.

AMARYLLIS.
N order to obtain fine specimens of Amaryllis the following method should be fellowed:
On receipt of the bulbs in the autumn they should be placed where they will be always
slightly moist and warm, under the benches of a greenhouse, for example; donot pot up
the bulbs before the flowerbuds appear; when first potted give very little water, and pro-
mote growth by giving moderate bottom heat ; increase the supply of water as the plants
progress. Very often the mistake is made that bulbs are potted up too early; the conse-
quence is that only leaf growth is made. ‘The proper soil for Amaryllis is turfy loam
enriched with rotten manure.

LILY GF THE WARE
(Convallaria.)
FOR open ground planting we offer large clumps, each containing many flowering crowns. These may be set from six inches to a foot apart and
covered three inches. They succeed best in ground which is rather moist and partially shaded.
: For forcing the Pips are to be preferred, being grown under conditions tending to promote vigorous and early blooming. Twelve to eighteen
pips may be planted in a 6-inch pot, with all the fibrous roots carefully preserved, and keeping the crowns above the soil. Place them in a temperature
of about 80 degrees, cover the crowns with loose moss, and keep them constantly moist with tepid water. They should flower in about five weeks.

HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS.
OLD-FASHIONED HARDY GARDEN FLOWERS.
HE favorites of the old-time gardens
are coming to the front, and deserved-
ly so. No feature of the garden can be
more satisfactory than a well-arranged
Hardy Plant border, producing from April
to November a continuous succession of
charming flowers, much more interesting
than the usual greenhouse assortment, and
equally valuable for garden embellishment
and cutting purposes. The Hardy Plants
have the advantage of greater permanen-
cy, requiring only cultivation, enriching,
a slight mulch during winter, and occa-
sional checking of the more robust grow-
ers, to keep the plantation in good condi-
tion for years.
Where early flowers are desired we ad:
vocate the introduction of groups of Nar-
cissi, Scillas, Crocuses, Snowdrops, Chi-
onodoxa and other Spring-flowering bul-
bous plants, which should be planted in
October, as well as Montbretias the har-
dier species of Gladioli and Lilies for sum-
mer blooming, and which may be planted
in spring.
We limit the present list to varieties
which admit of being planted at this sea-
son and which have been found generally
hardy and desirable for the severe climate
of New England.

R.G& J. Farquhar & Co., Boston, Mass. Weld Garden, Brookline, December 7.
Gentlemen:—It gives me great pleasure to inform you of the good results I have had with your Lawn Grass Seeds.
I have used them extensively, not only in Massachusetts but in Washington, D. C., and in St. Louis, Mo., at both of which places
there is difficulty in getting good Lawns, and where the successful results from your seeds have been remarkable.
The Weld Garden in Brookline which has been so frequently described and illustrated in the leading periodicals of the country affords
the very best evidence of the high quality, purity and permanence of your Lawn Grasses.
Your Mixtures for various situations and for different parts of the country, I consider especially valuable.
Yours truly, Duncan Finlayson.
FARQUHAR’S BOSTON PARKS LAWN SEED.
This formula has been used for many years in the Boston Park Department and in the Metropolitan Parks of Massachusetts.
It is unquestionably one of the best mixtures for park work or where a free growing, hard-wearing turf is desired.
Sow at the rate of 64 Ibs. per acre. Price, 40 cents per lb.; by mail, 50 cents.
10 Ibs., $3.75; 100 Ibs., $35.00; 25 Ibs. and upwards at the 100 ib. rate.
Owing to the recent prevalence of extreme heat and drought in the grass seed districts, both of this country and Europe, t’
crops are short and still uncertain. Prices of all grass seeds are unsettled, and subject to change without notice.

Gentlemen:—I have used your Lawn Grasses for the past eight years and have found them of extra fine quality and entirely free from
foul seeds. Your Putting-Green Mixture is the finest I have ever seen—the greens at Bretton Woods produced from it are unrivalled.
Yours truly, G. S. MERRITT, Prof. Golfer.
FARQUHAR’S FAIR GREENS MIXTURE.
This is composed mainly of perennial native grasses and two very important European grasses which have proven of great value
for Fair-Green use. They are all of dwarf, spreading growth, forming a close velvety surface which improves from year to year if given
proper care. It contains no clover, which is objectionable on account of making the surface slippery. If white clover is desired, th
quantity sown should not exceed one-half pound per bushel of grass seed. Per lb., 40 cents; per 100 lbs., at 35 cents per lb.; per 1,0
Ibs., at 32 cents perlb. Sow 50 lbs. per acre.
FARQUHAR’S GRASS SEED MIXTURE FOR PUTTING-GREENS.
The hardiest and finest low growing Grasses are contained in this Mixture. It produces a beautiful and lasting green turf cal-
culated to withstand hard tear and wear. Quart, .40; by mail, .50; peck, $2.00 ; per bushel of 20 lbs., $7.50.
FARQUHAR’S GRASS SEED MIXTURE FOR TERRACES.
A mixture of strong, deep-rooted Grasses for banks or terraces. Although the Grasses are strong and deep-rooted, they will
duce a fine green velvety surface, and also prevent washing away during heavy rains. Quart, .40; by mail, .50; peck, $2.00 ; per bushel

FARM AND FIELD GRASSES.
Prices Subject to Market Fluctuation.
Timothy or Herds Grass. Phleum pratense. This Grass is usually considered and treated as
a short-lived perennial, and hence is the best grass to grow in a short rotation. It succeeds
best on moist loams and clays naturally rich in humus or on those which have been heavily
manured, It grows in loose tufts, with few short leaves, so that Red Top or Red Clover
should be sown with it to furnish heavy bottom growth of leaves. Sow one-half bushel per
acre if alone. (45 lbs. per bushel.) Per bushel, $8.00.
Red Top. Agrostis vulgaris. A good permanent grass, which grows naturally in cold, wet soils.
It should be grown in cultivation in similar situations. A perennial with long creeping stems
and underground runners; one of the best bottom grasses bearing large numbers of fine root
leaves, making it invaluable for sowing with erect tufted Grasses, such as Orchard and
Timothy filling in between the clumps and producing a continuous turf. Sow four bushels per
acre if alone. (10 lbs. per bushel.) Per lb.. 18 cents; per bushel, $1.75; 100 lbs., £16.00.
Red Top. Clean Seed. Chaff and weeds sifted out; pure fancy seed. We recommend this
to all who desire the best results, as its absolute purity and excellence insure satisfaction for
farm, park orlawn. Excellent for restoring worn-out swards. Per lb., 35 cents; 100 Ibs., $32.00
Kentucky Blue. oa pratensis, Known as Fune Grass. A perennial especially adapted to
dry limestone soils, but will thrive on any good ground which is not too wet. Very nutritious,
hardy, and early. Sow three bushels per acre if alone. (14 lbs. per bushel.) Per lb., .25
cents; 100 lbs., $23.00.
Rhode Island Bent. Agrostis canina. A bottom Grass, suitable for using with tufted varieties
Hardy and early and a grass that will withstand heat and dry weather. Sweet and nutritious
and relished by all kinds of stock. Sow four bushels per acre if alone. (10 lbs. per bushel.)
Per lb., 45 cents; 100 lbs., $40.00. ;
Orchard. Dactylis glomerata, A deep rooted perennial, growing in tufts. A strong, vigorous
grower, which succeeds best on rich lands or clayey soils. Should be cut for hay at the time
of first flowering. Sow three bushels peracre if alone. (14 lbs. per bushel.) Per ib., 35 cents.
per bushel, $4.50; 100 lbs., $30.00.
Tall Oat Grass. Avena elatior, A perennial which grows in loose tufts and throws up an
abundance of leaves and tall stalks. Succeeds best on rich upland soils, and when once
established is a great drought resister. Early. Makes its heaviest growth the second year.
Lb., 35 cents; 100 lbs., $30.00.
Italian Rye Grass. Zolium Jtalicum. A biennial which grows in broad compact tufts,
producing a large number of stalks from a single root. Succeeds best in warm, rich, moist
soils. A rapid grower and a good crop to rid land of weeds, as it quickly overtops them,
preventing them from ripening seeds. Sow three bushels per acre. (22 lbs. per bushel.) Per
lb., 12 cents; 100 lbs., $10.00.
Perennial Rye Grass. Jolium perenne. A perennial forming large and broad tufts. Grows
best on stiff, wet soils, and on heavy clays or marshy lands where the soil is good, it is one of
the best pasture Grasses. In such situations it will last five to seven years, but on dry upland
soils it is short-lived. (22 ]bs. per bushel.) Finest seed, our direct importatics, Per lb., 12

Ie is a well-established fact that soils sown with a variety of different grasses which are adapted to the soil and which attain perfection at alternate
months from April to September, produce very much larger and more satisfactory crops, both for hay and pasturage, than when only one or two kinds
of grasses or clovers are sown. ‘The results given by our mixtures have been most satisfactory, and have resulted in a very large increase in our
trade for same. We unhesitatingly recommend them for use on the largest scale. Fall seeding is preferable, but spring sowing will be successful if done
early, when the land is cool and moist. In addition to the Grasses, we advise sowing 10 lbs. of mixed Clover Seed per acre. Clovers in their young
state are tender in our climate, and should therefore be sown in spring, separately, being heavier in weight.

Sand Vetch, or Hairy Vetch. Vicia villosa. ‘This annual is a native of Western Asia, and has been cultivated in this country and Europe

It should be sown at the rate of from four to six pecks per acre, broadcast or in drills, from August 15 to October 1, and with it as a supporting crop to
raise the vines up off the ground there should be planted from two to four pecks of winter Wheat, Oats, or Rye. It should be cut while the Vetch is
in full bloom. It may be planted in spring in order to supply an early green crop for soiling purposes, or in midsummer for late autumn forage. Peck,

Rye, Fall or Winter. The time for sowing is from the middle of August to the last of September. Prepare the ground as for Wheat and
sow broadcast, or with a drill at the rate of one and one-half bushels per acre. This has no equal as a crop to be used for late fall and early spring
pasture, and is one of the best to turn under for green manure. (56 lbs. per bush.) Per bushel, $1.75.

STRAVVBERRY PLANTS.
All the varieties offered are perfect-flowering (bisexual) except where marked P. The iatter are
pistillate and require a row of a perfect-flowering sort planted every 8 or io feet to pollenize
their blossoms.
These, if planted in July and August, produce a large crop the next summer. Being grown
in pots they may be shipped to a distance and planted with almost no interruption to their
growth. The plants may be set in beds of three rows one foot apart and one foot distant
in the rows, with a space of two and one-half feet between the outside rows of adjoining
beds left for a pathway. They may also be planted in single rows three feet apart and one
foot apart in the rows.
POT-GROWN PLANTS. From 21, in. pots, well rooted; delivery in July and Au-
gust. Per 100, $3.50; 250, $8.00; 500, $15.00; 1,000, $30.00; for all varieties,
except where otherwise priced.
FIRST EARLY.
Alpha. A new, very early variety, producing strong, vigorous plants which are very productive.
The fruit is of large size, attractive color and fine quality. $1.25 per dozen; $9.00 per 100.
Excelsior. This is decidedly the best early Strawberry and the earliest good strawberry. The
fruit is of round conical form, glossy, dark-red color, and of mildly acid flavor.
Success. Large, round, bright scarlet, flavor always fine.
St. Louis. A very productive, early variety, with large berries, similar to Excelsior.
is of vigorous growth and a good sort for the home garden.
Suburban. This berry is exceedingly productive, thriving well on light land, and is considered one
of the best new sorts. Fruit large, conical, firm and of good flavor. $4.00 per 100; $38.00 per 1,000.
Texas. An extra early variety producing immense crops of large, glossy, crimson berries, which
are rich and juicy. The plants appear to thrive in all soils. -
SECOND EARLY.
The plant
A Pot-grown Strawberry Plant
Climax. This is an extremely popular new variety, immensely pro-
ductive, the berries being slightly over medium size. Plant vigorous,
healthy grower, of a peculiar shade of green that can be distinguished
from other varieties.
Sample. P. Excellent for either market or home use; prolific, large,
firm, and delicious.
Glen Mary. Large, conical, bright red berries; firm and of fine flavor.
Senator Dunlap. Mr. Crawford, at the time of its introduction by
him, said that he doubted if he had ever sent out a berry better than
Senator Dunlap. It will keep in fair condition for several days on
the vines after being ripe enough to pick. The fruit is large, rich and
dark red clear to the centre, with a very rich flavor.
MEDIUM.
Abington. A strong growing native variety of recent introduction.
The fruit is of large size, bright red in color, very solid and of excellent
flavor.
Barrymore. This new strawberry was awarded a Silver Medal by
the Mass. Hort. Society in 1908, for its excellence. The plants are
of strong growth and very productive. The conical shaped berries
are of medium size and of a dark, glossy, crimson color; the flesh
is a rich red and very juicy. Per 100, $4.00.
Bubach. P. A well-known popular variety, with large berries of a
rich, bright red color.
Nick Ohmer. Dark glossy red globular berries of superior flavor;
fine for forcing.
Brandywine. A large heart-shaped berry, perfect in form, bright red
in color, firm flesh, red to the centre and of rich spicy flavor. A great
cropper especially on heavy soils, holds its fruit well up from the
ground and generally succeeds everywhere.
Golden Gate. A strong growing variety bearing rich crimson fruit
without green tips and with quality similar to the Marshall. It
blooms early and late, making it a good variety to pollenize the
pistillate sorts.
Mark Hanna. P. An exceedingly prolific variety ripening in mid-
season. The berries are of enormous size, attractive in color and of —
splendid quality.
Marshall. The fruit of this remarkable sort is of enormous size, of
handsome, glossy, dark crimson color, and of delicious flavor. It
is one of the best midseason berries, either for private use or market.
It is a vigorous grower and requires good soil and high cultivation.
As it does not thrive in all soils, it should not be planted extensively
until its adaptability is ascertained.
New York. One of the best sorts for private or market gardens. The
berries are large, of conical form; dark red color, firm texture and of
remarkably sweet flavor. In the market they sell at sight.
Pride of Cumberland. The plant is a vigorous grower and free from
rust, and ripening about one week earlier than Gandy; it is nearly
as large, equally firm, as good a color, thriving in either high or low
land, but owing to the immense crops it sets, the ground should be
well fertilized to insure best results.
LATE TO VERY LATE.
Belmont. This old favorite is still considered by many to be the finest
late berry. The fruit is of handsome appearance and keeps well.
Chesapeake. The plants of the Chesapeake are large and vigorous
with rich dark green foliage. The fruit is of large size, deep red in
color and of a rich aromatic flavor.
Commonwealth. This is the latest of all Strawberries; bearing large,
conical, deep crimson fruit, sweet and of quality equal to the well-
known Bubach. Not only an extra large berry, but also very pro-
ductive, of deep rich color and solid. It is smooth and quite juicy.
Gandy. This popular old variety is probably known by most berry
growers. It is more largely grown than any other late variety. On
sandy soils it is unproductive.
ALPINE
Large Red Alpine. No one who has eaten the delicious little straw-
berries of the Alps will ever forget their delicious aromatic flavor.
Minute Man. P. A very productive sort, of fine quality.
New Home. As late and large as Gandy, fruit a bright red color that
does not lose its lustre and turn dark for a long time after being
picked. It is a vigorous grower, and, unlike Gandy, will produce a
large crop on either high or low land.
William Belt. An exceptionally fine berry. In quality it heads the
list. The berries are as large, with some specimens larger than the
Bubach. Its color is a bright, glossy, deep red; season as late as
Gandy.
vi
Stevens’ Late Champion. A new variety of the Gandy type, yielding
large crops of beautiful berries very late in the season.
VARIETY.
We are now able to offer this large fruited variety of the Alpine
strawberry. Per doz., $1.00.
NEW EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY.
Superb. A variety of recent introduction, producing large glossy,
dark-red berries of good quality. The plant is of compact growth
and makes runners freely. When late fruit is desired it is better to
pinch off the first flowers, and also keep the runners cut, which will
give vigor to the later crop. 20c. each; $2.00 per doz.; $14.00 per
