 New Sweet Peas. 
 
 CUPID. This wonderful new variety has proved itself to be one of the finest and 
 most distinct novelties ever offered. Although the past season was very unfavorable for 
 Sweet Peas, this little wonder proved itself to be all that was claimed for it. Some 
 complaints were received on account of the seed not germinating, but as it was sold last 
 season in original sealed packets only, we are unable to tell the cause. This year we 
 have bought our seed in bulk and put it up ourselves, so that there should be no trouble 
 in germination, as the seed is fresh and bright. This wonderful variety, unlike other 
 varieties, is very dwarf, having no tendency to climb. The foliage is dark green, form- 
 ing a tuft, which soon becomes studded with pure white blossoms of full size and sub- 
 stance. It is a prolific bloomer, commencing to blocm early, and continuing all through 
 the season. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 30 cts

 CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
 
 Of these I aim to keep not over 50 varieties, but the vast improvement made, with 
 
 each recurring year, renders it a most difficult 
 matter to decide which of the many old favor- 
 ites shall be eliminated, to make room for 
 those of same color, perhaps, but rivaling it in 
 form, substance or habit. By this means I am 
 enabled to offer one of the most select collec- 
 tions extant, which a visit to my greenhouse 
 in autumn and early winter will attest. A 
 more striking spectacle is seldom shown than 
 that presented. Houses from 40 to 70 feet 
 long, a sheet of bloom, from the purest white 
 to various shades of pink, rose, straw, yellow, 
 old gold, bronze, crimson, to the deepest ma- 
 roon. 
 
 Individual flowers, in form from the small, 
 neat Pompon to the large, symmetrical Chinese 
 _and the largest Japanese, with their lovely, 
 airy, fantastic shapes — incurved, reflexed, 
 laced, quilled, etc., petals slashed and fringed 
 in some, in others of the most chaste and 
 elegant outline.

 Hardy Herbaceous Plants. 
 
 The interest in this class of plants increases from year to year, and the number of 
 vareities has increased until now one may, with judicious selection, stock the garden 
 with plants which flower in succession from early spring until heavy frosts. One of the 
 advantages of planting these hardy plants is, that they will increase in beauty and value 
 every year. Their culture is simple ; as they remain in the ground from year to year, 
 there should be a liberal supply of well-rotted manure spaded in around the plants 
 before growth starts in the spring Although all are hardy, the plants and flowers will 
 be stronger and finer if protected in winter with a liberal covering of leaves, etc., held 
 in place by brush or boards. We have a fine collection of all the best and most desir- 
 able for this climate.

 Hardy Grapes. 
 
 The most important point in selecting 
 Grapes for this locality, where our seasons 
 are so short, is earliness in ripening. 
 Though they possess all other good quali- 
 ties, and lack that one, they are worthless 
 as a fruit, and the ground had better be 
 occupied with something less disappoint- 
 ing. Fortunately, among the many good 
 kinds cultivated, there are none that sur- 
 pass in productiveness and delicious qual- 
 ity the following varieties, and they always 
 ripen : 
 
 Brighton. Bunches large and loose ; 
 berries large ; coppery red ; flesh rich, 
 sweet, and of excellent flavor. 35c. each.

 mild and rich. Excellent for dessert or

 rant, the bushes attaining the same size. 
 The blossoms are quite large and composed 
 of fine white petals, which, with its bright 
 green foliage, render it one of the hand- 
 somest ornament shrubs. 15 cts. each, 
 J1.25 per doz.

 Strawberries. 
 
 This, the first fruit of the season, will 
 succeed in any good soil if thoroughly pre- 
 pared, and always kept clean and well cul- 
 tivated. The finest fruit is obtained by 
 keeping the runners pinched oS as fast as 
 they appear. In winter a covering of leaves, 
 brush, straw’, or anything that will collect 
 snow and protect them from the sun and 
 March winds, is all that is necessary. The 
 blossoms of those marked (P. ) are pis- 
 tillate or imperfect, being destitute of sta- 
 mens. and will not produce perfect fruit, if 
 any, unless some of the perfect-flowering 
 sorts are planted near. At least every fifth 
 row should be a perfect-flowering variety. 
 
 $1 per 100, $6 per 1,000.
