DIRECTIONS
FOR THE
CULTIVATION OF VEGETABLES.
Success, in cultivating all vegetables is certain, just in proportion as
sufficient space is given them to grow in, proper tillage is bestowed, and the
necessary supply of light and air is afforded. These conditions met, the
crop will be heavy and the quality superior.
In the Directions found in the Catalogue we name the /east space re-
quired by the different kinds. This has been done in view of the limited
size of many gardens, which necessitates economy of ground. Where the
garden will allow it, more space should be given.
Having set apart sufficient space, give the ground a thorough prepara-
tion. Deep Culture is one great secret of success. Plough and sub-soil ;
or, if the spade be used, dig down at least sixteen inches.
It is important that the ground be well drained.
Au Crops succeed better when planted and cultivated in drills and
rows, rather than broadcast. By so doing, time, expense and trouble will
be saved. Weeds must be thoroughly eradicated, and the surface of the
ground kept open and loose, if you wish to raise a superior, or even re-
munerative crop. To accomplish this, the hoe is your best helper, and
should be constantly kept at work.
The same kind of crop should not occupy the same ground year after
year. After manuring well such crops as grow above ground (Cabbage,
Peas, Potatoes, and the like), follow next year with root crops (Carrots,
Parsnips, &c.), which will not require so much manure.
We need scarcely suggest the advantage to be derived from an early
starting of vegetables in hot-beds. The trouble is very slight as compared
with the gain in time, and the satisfaction thus secured.
All these suggestions are of practical importance, and, if acted upon,
will secure early and abundant crops.
We apvend directions for making a hot-bed.
VAN BAUN & MUZZY’S CATALOGUE OF SEEDS. ~ 5
To PREPARE A HOT-BED, a quantity of stable manure should be well
shaken up ina heap about the beginning or middle of February. 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 the size or number of frames to be used,
making the bed about a foot wider than the frame all around. The bed,
when made, should be not 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 wel
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, Tomatoes, Cauliflower, Egg Plant, Celery,
Lettuce, Radish, &c., &c. When the seeds make their appearance above
ground, give some air, in moderate weather, by raising the lights two or
three inches at the back, and, as the plants increase in growth, increase the
supply of air to prevent them being drawn up. In severe weather the frame
and lights should be covered at nights with mats or straw. In high wind
protect the side 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 only will 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. These directions apply to hot-beds made on the
surface of the ground. They will apply equally well to hot-beds made
in pits, the only exception being that, in the latter case, the heated manure
is placed in the bottom of the pit.
SEEDS BY MAIL OR EXPRESS.
Postage charges are not included in our quotations.. 16
CENTS PER POUND should be added for pre-payment of
Seeds, if wanted by mail. Charges by Express are not uniform;
rates depending upon distance and locality. Except for small
parcels, and to remote parts, the Express Companies will be found
the most economical mode of conveyance when freights are paid
in advance. Of course we shall always adopt that mode which
costs the least. Neither have we charged for a guarantee of °
safe arrival by Mail. It is rare, however, that seeds fail to reach
their destination in that way—perhaps not one package in five
thousand.

WARRANTIES.
Irreproachable seeds sometimes fail to germinate through many causes,
one of the most common being heavy rains after sowing, and the consequent
baking of the ground afterwards. The germination of seeds underground
is caused and maintained by the formation of gases in the seed, which, in
truth, consume the seed, and nourish the sprouts until these are above
ground, when the sun and air supply the necessary nutriment ; a process
which fails in case, by too deep sowing, or the ground forming a hard crust
on the top, the seed is consumed before its sprouts have reached the surface
of the ground. Besides, an untimely frost, or a very cold current of air
passing over the shoots immediately on their appearance above ground, may
destroy the whole process of vegetation; or want of moisture in the soil
may prevent the seed from germinating at all. Then, again, vermin, eut-
worms, and other insects scarcely visible, may destroy a crop, unknown to
the planter. And, finally, there are sometimes causes at work changing
the habit and character of plants, which escape the closest observation,
owing to conditions of temperature, and which are but little understood.
For the above reasons, we wish to state in this explicit form, that while we
exercise the greatest care to have all seeds pure and reliable, it is hereby mutually
agreed between ourselves and the purchaser of our seeds, that we do not warrant
the same, and are not in any respect liable or responsible for seeds sold by us, or
for any loss or damage arising from any failure thereof in any respect.

CuLtTuRE.—Deep, rich, light loam, not liable to retain water in Winter.
Give plenty of well-rotted manure. Sow the seed the beginning of May;
if dry weather, water frequently. The seedlings should be planted in rows
three and a half feet apart, and three feet distant in the rows. They come
to maturity the second year. When cold weather approac es they should
be covered with coarse litter, and every Spring receive a good dressing of
well-rotted manure, well worked in with a fork. The offsets may be taken
off, and the strongest used for new beds. A bed will last five or six years

CuLture.—The seeds may be sown in the Fall, or as early as the season
will permit in the Spring, in drills one foot apart. Keep free from weeds,
and in the Spring of the second year, transplant into permanent beds,
which may be made as follows: The ground should not be too wet, nor too
strong, and should have a large supply of well-rotted manure, several inches
thick, laid on, and then regularly trenched eighteen inches deep, mixing
well the manure. If the ground be clayey or stiff, add sufficient sand to
make it porous. The beds should be six feet wide, with walks two feet
wide. Four rows of plants should be put in each bed, and the plants
twelve inches distant in the rows. The crown of each plant should be
about six inches below the level of the bed. Every Fall cut the stalks
down; afterwards give a good dressing of manure, which turn under in
the Spring without disturbing the roots. A slight dressing of salt in the
early Spring is very beneficial.

richly manured ground, the early kinds two feet apart ; the later kinds, for
Winter use, three feet apart. The ground must be deeply loosened and
worked thoroughly to grow large and good heads. Hoe often, to kill
weeds ; and draw some earth up to the stems. If troubled by the Cab-
bage flea (/altica), sprinkle the plants with soot, wood-ashes, lime or Scotch
snuff. Either of the above will drive them away.

CULTURE.—Sow early in Spring in a seed-bed half an inch deep, at any
time after night frosts are gone, or on a slight hot-bed, if wished early.
Thin out the plants, when up, to an inch apart, or transplant into a second
bed three inches apart. When the plants are strong, dig trenches five feet
apart and fifteen inches wide; dig each trench a moderate spade deep, put
four inches of well-rotted dung all over the bottom of each trench, then
pare the sides, and dig the dung and puarings with an inch or two of loose
mould at the bottom, incorporating all well together, and put in the plants
in two rows six inches apart, and eight inches apart in rows. Give a good
watering after planting, and earth up as the plants make growth. For the
Dwarf variety trench but half the depth. The Turn p-Rooted variety does
not require trenches at all; ordinary garden culture is all that is necessary.

Kinps.—Nos. 1, 4, 6, 7 and 8 are best for very earliest; Nos. 1 and 6 grow
but three feet high; No. 9 for a second early; Nos. 10, 12 and 13 for late
and general crop. No. 18 is the beautiful striped-leaved variety.
Cutture.—Plant in hills three feet apart each way, and five or six in a
hill. Hoe often and draw soil up to the stems; break off side shoots.
Make the ground rich with well-rotted manure. Sown in drills, a greater
yield from a given surface will be obtained.

CuLTURE.—Sow Nos. 1 and 2 thickly, in shallow drills, every two or
three weeks. No.1 should be cut often, and it will continue to grow; it
is useful not only for salad, but for the breakfast table and for garnishing.
14 VAN SAUN & MUZZY’S CATALOGUE OF SEEDS.
Sow No. 3, which is quite hardy, early in Spring, at midsummer, and also
in the Autumn, inrich ground. This will furnish a supply from September
until the following May. In hot weather it becomes too strong to be agree-
able. An excellent substitute for Water Cress. Sow No. 4 on a stream of
running water, or in any moist location, in which it will grow without care,
except keeping, at first, weeds from interfering with it; also in frames for
Winter Salads. Water Cress is delicious cultivated in pots in greenhouses,
or will thrive well in hot-beds.

Kinps.—Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 are the earliest; No. 3 is the favorite kind for
table use; Nos. 3, 4 and 9 for pickling, and 3 also for general use; very
productive. No. 9 is best for Market Gardeners or Pickle Planters. Nos.
11 and 12 are interesting sorts.
CuLtTuRE.—In February and March, sow seed in hot-bed; or, in April,
in cold frame, well covered. Plant out in rich, newly-dug ground, in hills
or ridges, when night frosts are gone, and cover up with Hand or Bell
Glasses. In frames, protect well at night ; give air in day ; aviid winds;
shade from mid-day sun. Keep up heat when grown early in the year by
hot dung lining as temperature of bed subsides. Stop the leading shoots
continually as the fruit shows. Sow the seed also in open ground as soon
as the weather becomes settled and warm, in hills four feet apart. Use a
shovelful of warm manure to each hill, which cover with an inch or two of
earth; scatter eight or ten seeds to a hill, cover half an inch deep with fine
earth, and press it down. Hoe often, and when out of danger from inseets,
thin the plants to four in a hill.

DAN DELION—Pissenrir.
French Seed, 40 cents 7 ounce; $4.00 pound.
Cu.ture.—The Dandelion is a hardy perennial plant, and one of the
most desirable early Spring salads. Sow in May or June, in drills half an
inch deep and one foot apart; in July or August, thin out the plants to
three inches apart. Keep clear of weeds during the Summer, and, in April
of the ensuing Spring the plants will be fit for the table. They are best,
however, when blanched.

Kinps.—Nos. 1 and 2 are the earliest ; No. 3 is the largest, most produc-
tive, and best for main crop; No. 5 is most beautiful, and also a fine cook-
ing variety; No. 4 is of excellent flavor, with ornamental leaves.
CuLrure.—Sow in hot-beds, very early in Spring ; transplant when two
inches high into a second bed; if that is not done, thin to four inches apart.
Do not plant out till the weather becomes perfectly settled and warm, and
cover up with Hand Glass. Cool nights or wet weather will check them.
Keep some back in frames for a second planting, in case of weather chang-
ing unexpectedly. Keep plants watered for a few days, if the sun is hot
when put out. When the plants have grown to about a foot in height, cut them
down six inches, promoting thereby more abundant fruiting. Keep them tilled
by the hoe.

Krinps.—Nos. 1 and 2 are the best for Salad, particularly No. 1, which
is also the most hardy. The roots of No. 3 are used for flavoring coffee.
CuLturE.—Sow No. 4 early in Spring ; Nos. 1 to 3, from latter part of
May to end of July. Sow thin and cover slightly. When up, thin out to
eight inches apart, and give a good watering afterwards, if dry. When
leaves are six or eight inches long, blanch them by guthering the leaves in
the hand and tying them together near the top with yarn or bast. This
must be done when quite dry, or they will rot. At the approach of Winter
the growing crop may be taken up carefully, with ball of earth to each
plant, and placed close together in frame or cellar for use ; but they must
be kept dry, and have plenty of air, or they will rot.

bage. No. 3 sow in September for early Spring Greens. No. 6 sow early
in Spring in a frame, transplant to another bed, six inches apart, in six
weeks’ time. Dig and manure highly a piece of ground, and plant out two
feet apart in rows, as soon as the plants have become stocky. Before Win-
ter, cover these with litter or leaves. The following Spring uncover and dig
in manure. Keep them well cultivated through the Summer, and the fol-
lowing Spring they will be strong enough to cut. They are best blanched,
either under pots or by earthing. The midribs are the parts used, and they
are cooked liked Asparagus. Salt is a good manure to be given to this
plant, as well as to Asparagus.

Kinps.—No. 1 and 6 are best for forcing or earliest Spring crop; No. 3
for a succession kind ; Nos. 6, 10 and 14 are fine for main Spring and Sum-
mer crops ; No. 17 for Fall, and Nos. 22 and 23 for Winter. Nos. 18 and
19 are also highly recommended, but more trouble to raise.
CuLTURE.—Sow Nos. 1, 2, 3and 5, in frames, in March, and in the open
ground as early as it opens, and transplant in rows eight inches apart. Sow
in a month’s time same varieties again, as also Cos for a succession. In
August, sow any of the varieties, except Nos. 19 and 20, which should be
sown in September. In October, some of these may be planted in frames
to head in Winter and early Spring. Always sow thin, and thin out well,
or the plants will not be strong. The last Spring sowing had better be
grown where sown, being thinned out to six or eight inches apart. To have
Cos in good order, they must be sown in hot-bed early in the year and trans-
planted in a cold frame, so as to have them good plants to set out at the
opening ofthe ground. They require tying when grown, fora few days,
to blanch. Lettuce requires good ground and moisture in abundance. Hoe
carefully every week.

light earth on this one inch thick, then another layer of dung, principally
horse droppings. In eight or ten days, or as soon as the heat bas declined
to about 70°, or just to feel a little warm to the finger, insert lumps of
Spawn the size of hen’s eggs, ten inches apart, and just even with the sur-
face of the bed, and cover with earth an inch thick. Beat it all gently
down, and immediately inclose the bed all around, and over the top, with
a wall of warm dung previously well prepared by turning over to temper
and sweeten it, and, if out of doors, keep off rain by mats or thin boards.
Use warm water, if watering is needed.

Krinps.—Nos. 1 and 6 are the earliest varieties. No. 1 is almost entirely
skinless ; small, but equal in flavor to the finest in cultivation. In addition
to this sort for general crop, we recommend Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 8.
CuLTURE.—Sow in hills six feet apart each way, six to twelve seeds in
each, and thin out to two or three plants when in a state of forwardness.
It is a good plan to make a hole for each hill, two feet wide, in which dig
some rotten stable manure or burnt sods. Dust a little soot or wood-ashes
on the growing plants, when up. Pinch off, to make them branch when
they begin to run. Lay them out evenly to cover the ground, which keep
clear from weeds at all times. A light but rich soil suits them best. Early
plants are best obtained by sowing the seeds in pots, and plunging the pots
in a hot-bed.

Those marked * are Wrinkled Marrows, and should be sown thicker than the
round Peas, as they are more liable to rot. They are the finest flavored of all
the Peas.
Kiyps.—We recommend, for the first crop, Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 30; for
second crop, Nos. 10 and 11; for general crop, Nos. 14, 21 and 22; for late
crop, Nos. 25 and 27. For small gardens, Nos. 29, 30 and 31. No. 30 is
one of the finest in cultivation:
CuLture.—Light, dry soil, not over rich, suits the Pea. Sow as early
as the ground can be worked, and again every two weeks, for succession,
throughout the season. Sow in single or double rows, from four to six
feet apart, according to the different heights, about an inch apart in the
row, and four inches deep. In Summer, sow eight or ten inches deep.
Hoe often. The tall sorts can be made to bear more freely by pinching in.

Cutture.—To grow healthy Potatoes and free from rot, it is necessary
to plant them very early in the season, in good rich soil, that has been liber-
ally manured the previous year. When the plants make their appearance
above ground, apply to each hill a double-handful each of wood-asles and
plaster, mixed; if kept free from weeds, a large crop will be the result. To
have Potatoes VERY EARLY, the sets must be sprouted, 7. e., it must have
made an advancement in growth of at least an inch. This sprout should
be strong and well developed, its thickness about that of the stem of a com-
mon tobacco pipe, and its top crowned with green buds just bursting into
leaf ; at the bottom of the sprout aie emitted, or in the course of emission,
small, thread-like roots, which, as soon as planted, take possession of the
soil. Here is the great secret of obtaining early Potatoes
To acquire this stage of advancement, many expedients are resorted to.
It is the natural habit to sprout early ; indeed, oftentimes there is a diffi-
culty in retarding this movement, for if the sprout is too long it runs great
risk of being knocked off in course of setting. The mode generally adopted
is, in January and February, place them in baskets, not over a peck in
each, in a room that is light and warm.

Agrostis stolonifera, (Mierin,) or Creeping Bent Grass—is chiefly valuable

Anthoxanthum odoratum, or Sweet Vernal Grass—for a mixture with pas-
ture grasses it is valuable on account of its vernal growth, and also
continuing to throw up root foliage until late in the Autumn ; for
meadows its chief merits are its fragrant odor, which the leaves
emit when partially dried, thus sweetening hay—it is a vegetable
condiment rather than as a grass of much nutritive value.

FORMATION OF LAWNS FROM SEEDS.
In the first place, see that your ground is thoroughly drained and well
prepared, sowing at least three bushels of seed to the acre.
Perhaps the best description of soil for a lawn is the stiff loam or clayey
soils which predominate in so many districts. This ought not to be by any
means too rich, as a rapid growth is not wan'ed in the grasses of a lawn ; but
in preparing it for laying down, let the surface be as much alike in quulity
as possibl, and do not stint the quantity of seed. A very stiff clay is no bet-
ter than a very dry sind for resisting drogiit, as it is in a measure sealed
up against the in-erti n of roots, and the surface ce ntracting by the with-
drawal of moisture, it is liable to crack, &c., to a great depth. Neverthe-
less, a stiff soil u-ually mikes the best lawn.
If your greun:d is in condition to raise a good crop of potatoes, it will
make a good lawn, adding bout half a ton of Bone Dust to the acre,
harrowed in before sowing the seed. The success of establishing a good
32 VAN SAUN & MUZZY’S CATALOGUE OF SEEDS.
lawn depends much on the season and condition of the ground at the time
of sowing. A,very slight raking in will protect the seed much, or a sow-
ing of wo 1d ashes will render them distasteful to birds. Rolling, however,
is at a!l times indispensable.
The best time to sow Luwn Grass Seed is early in the Spring, or about
the latter part of August. We prefer the early Spring.
One important thing ought not to be forgotton in the preparation of the
ground. Let it all have a surface of about six inches alike, for nothing
looks worse than to see a lawn grow all in patches. One exception, how-
ever, may be mentioned. and that is, if there be any steep slopes facing
the south, or other exposed places, let the earth on them be beit-r than on
the eround level, for the aspect, and other causes, render such places liable
to burn with less sun than level places. They ought, therefore, to be of a
better material, and sod ought to be provided to lay there if accuracy be
expected. When the grass becom»s well established, it should be frequently
cut. The oftener you mow, the finer your grass will be.
It is proper here to observe that no lawn can be maintained long in good
order witbout successive rollings. Mowing alone will not secure a good
bottom without that compression which the roller tends to give.
