While we feel that it is as much to our interest to furnish customers with good Seeds as it is theirs to have them, yet we cannot guaran- tee a good crop in every case, as this is dependent upon natural causes, which are be- yond our control. But we do guarantee that all Seeds sold by us are first-class,” pure, and of strong germinating power. Further than this we cannot warrant. The freshest Seeds may sometimes fail; hence the value of this precaution to send out ~~ none but good Seeds. We know with proper treatment our Seeds will grow, and by fol- lowing the cultural directions given, though brief, the least experienced cultivator can not fail to have success. | i We respectfully solicit your trade, and hoping to receive your orders, we are, — Yours truly, SCHISLER-CORNELI SEED CO. — 813-815 North Fourth St., ; ST.

Nothing that is grown | early kinds in a hot-bed, early in February, in the seed line requires more attention and careful watching in order to get pure stock that is sure to head and to produce heads true to type, than the growing of good Cab- bage Seed. We have selected strains of many of the leading varieties that we con- sider far ahead of the general run of Cab- bage Seed sold, and we are glad to inform our friends, that the seed we offer is purchased from the most reliable Cabbage Seed growers in this country, and we know it will give entire satisfaction. You will find that we have made prices very reasonable for the quality we offer. Culture. The requirements for a good crop are a rich soil, deep plowing, high manuring, good seed and thorough after culture. For early use, sow seed of the Very Early Cabbages. and transplant them in the open ground in March and April, in rows two feet apart and eighteen inches between the plants in the rows orsow in a seed-bed outside as soon as the soil can be worked, if youdo not care for real early cabbage. These may be transplanted in about four weeks. For second early cabbage, sow in March and transplantin April. For late cabbage, sow in May and transplant in June, in rows three feet apart in the row. Hoe every week and stir the ground very deep. As they advance in growth, draw a little earth to the plants until they begin to head. To prevent the splitting or bursting of cab- bage, go frequently over the ground and start every cabbage that appears about to mature, by loosening the roots, which will check the growth. in growth and can easily be planted in rows two feet apart and twenty inches in the rows. One great advantage is, it does not burst open when ripe, like many other early sorts, and consequently can be left standing on the ground along while with- out injury, until a favorable opportunity for cutting.

CAUTION: BEWARE OF CHEAP ONION SEED. - Never before has this éaution been so necessary. Tons of inferior and old Onion Seed are on the market to-day that can be bought for fifteen cents per pound, butit would be dear at any price. It is impossible to compete in price with this so-called ‘*Cheap Seed,’’ whichis sold below the actual cost of production of first-class fresh seed. To grow large, full size Onions, four to five pounds black seed should be sown to the acre. To raise Pickling Onions and Onion Sets, fifty to sixty pounds of black seed are required per acre, and for this purpose the best varieties are the Yellow Danvers, Yellow Strassburg, Red Wethersfield, Philadelphia White Silverskin and White Portugal. As Oaions grow on top of the ground they may be allowed to remain pretty thick, no matter if they crowd each other, particularly if they are growing for sets. 22 SCHISLER-CORNELI SEED COMPANY, ITALIAN ONIONS.

A bed of Asparagus, when properly made, lasts many years,and should find a place in every garden, and to those who grow vegetables on a larger scale,the Asparagus crop is a most reliable one. Asparagus rootsmay be purchased in the spring, or seed may be sown in April, in good soil, in drills twelve to fourteen inches apart. The permanent bed should be made very rich with well-rotted manure, and thor- oughly worked over to a depth of nearly two feet. The As- paragusroots (either one or two years old) are to be transplant- ed into this bed, set- ting them in rows three or four feet apart, leaving about eighteen inches between the plants in the row. Lay the roots in trenches, spreading them well, and using care to have all the crowns placed in the same direction, to keep the roots from running together. Cover lightly at first, gradually filling the trenches as the plants begin to start; the 'crowus of the roots should be about six inches below the level of the bed. Avoid loca- tion near trees, particularly large trees, or their roots will soon take possession of the ground. JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES. Per peck, 50c; per bu., $1.50. This variety is grown for its tubers,which somewhat resemble the potato in appear- ance, but are different in flavor. Itis used as a vegetable, and for feeding cows, sheep and hogs.

Chives are perfectly hardy little peren- nial members of the onion tribe, and are » grown exclusively for their tops, which are used wherever the flavor of onion is re- ) quired. Planted in small clumps in any common garden soil, they will grow readily and in time increase so as to render a divis- ion necessary. The tops appear very early in spring, and can be shorn inrough ots 4 the season as needed. Roots, per bunch, 25c, _ postpaid. 35 PEANUTS. The Peanut thrives and produces best on a light, sandy, tolerably fertile soil, with a good clay sub-soil. It possesses a long tap root, which extends deep into the earth, drawing thence the nutriment which is beyond the reach of many of our cultivated crops. The soil should be deep and mellow, and well broken up, so as to be ready for planting soon after frosts are over. April is a suitable time. They will produce from twenty-five to seventy-five bush- els per acre, according to the soil and culture, and are as easily cultivated as corn. We can supply either the white or red variety—white is generally preferred. Lb.,1i5c.

In order to secure a supply of early vegetables, a hot-bed frame is indispensable. It can be constructed by any man, at a very small cost. It consists of a wooden frame, gen- erally six feet wide and from six to sixteen feet long, according to the supply of "early vegetables required; one side to be at least six inches higher than the other; the frame to be subdivided by cross-bars, and each division covered by a glazed sash. After comple- tion, place it on the manure-bed, prepared in the following manner: The frame should face the south or southeast; fill in about ten inches of rich pulverized soil, and allow it to stand a few days, giving it air by slightly raising the sash, so that the fiery vapor or steam may escape. T he seeds of Cabbage, Cauliflower, Egg Plant, Pepper, Tomato, and many _ other varieties, may be sown and the plants planted out as soon as the frosty weather is over. Preparing Manure for Hot-Beds. Fresh stable manure only, not exceeding Turn it over into a compact heap, protected made up into the requisite form to suit the frame. Where the ground is quite dry, a very / good method is to dig a space about eighteen inches deep, and put the manure therein; » tramp it firmly and evenly; place thereon the frame and sash; put in the rich earth, and in about four days sow the seed, having previously stirred the earth freely, to destroy any . seeds or weeds therein. Cold Frame is a simple construction of boards for wintering Cabbage, Lettuce or Cauliflower, for planting out early in spring. Select a dry southern exposure; form a . frame from four to six feet wide, and as long as required. The back should be fourteen inches, and the front six inches high, with a cross-tie every six feet. Seeds of Cabbage, sown in the open border early in September, will be ready to plant The soil should be well prepared and Admit air freely on all pleasant days, but keep closed Quanty of Seed Required to Produce a Given Number of Plants or Sow a Certain Quantity of Ground.

Previous to planting flower beds or borders, care must be taken that they are so arranged that the ground may be a little elevated in the middle, that the water may run off, and that the plants may show to better advantage. Sowing the Seed.—Nine-tenths of the failures in flower culture come from improper treatment of the seeds and young plants. We urge every purchaser of our seed to carefully study the cultural directions printed on each package, and the following general rules : Do not plant any of the seed when the ground is wet. Make the surface as fine and smooth as possible. Cover each sort of seed to a depth proportionate to its size; the finest, like Portulaca, Petunia, Campanula, Daisies, Coxcomb, Lobelia, Salpiglossis, etc., should be merely sprinkled on the surface of the ground, and barely covered with finely-sifted, light, mellow soil. Press the soil down firmly over the seed with a brick or short piece of board. For large seeds, the depth should be regulated according to the size of the seed; those the size of a pin-head, one-half inch deep, and those the size of a pea, one to two inches. Procure a piece of wood (it would be better if planed smooth) about two feet long and eight inches wide; press the edge down on the soil evenly, so as to make a groove as deep as the seed is to be planted; scatter the seed along this, allowing four or five of the larger to fifteen or twenty of the smaller seeds to the space one plant is to oceupy when grown. Cover the seed by pressing the earth together over it, then turn your lath flatways and- press the soil down firmly and evenly. Transplanting.—Choose a dull, cloudy day for this work. Give the seed-bed a good soaking with water half an hour before taking up the plants. Remove the young plants with a trowel or stout knife, and set in permanent beds, pressing the soil firmly around the roots and using water freely. A little shade for a day or two will be necessary if the sun is bright. Keep the soil mellow and free from weeds, and you will be delighted with a brilliant show of flowers. Flowers are divided into different classes; in Annuals, Biennials and Perennials. Annuals are those that grow, bloom and die the first year from seed. Biennials bloom the second year from seed and then die; though many, if sown early in the spring, flower the first year. Perennials usually bloom the second year from seed, and continue to grow and bloom for many years. Some will also bloom the first year if sown early. | Hardy Annuals, Biennials and Perennials can be sown in the open ground early in the spring if’ desired, and Biennials and Perennials will not require any protection in winter. Half-Hardy Annuals, Biennials and Perennials can not be sown in the open ground until settled warm weather, though they may be sown in the house if desired early, and afterward transplanted. The two latter need to be protected in the winter, or carried over until spring in cold frames or green houses. Tender Annuals, Biennials and Perennials, will not bear the slightest cold weather.

FERTILIZER. As there is now very strong competition in Fertilizers, we prefer to make a special price to parties wanting in ton or carload lots. Land Plaster, or Gypsum. It isan excellent addition to land requiring lime and sulphates, particularly for such crops as turnips, potatoes, grasses and clovers. Its fertilizing action is not so much due to its value as a plant food as to the absorbing and fixing ammonia and rendering soluble the inert plant foods of the soil, so that the growing crops can take them up. Quantity Required. Broadcasted and harrowed in, 44 to 1 ton per acre. Price. Bbl. (about 275 lbs.), $1.60; 5 bbls., $7.50. Bone Fertilizers. These are the true ? phosphatic manures, containing forty to fifty per cent. of lime and nitrogen, equal to about four per cent. of ammonia. They decompose slowly in the soil, and, there- fore, form excellent permanent improve- ment, being less likely than almost any other kind of manure to waste in rainy seasons, particularly on sandy soils. Ex- cellent for top dressing lawns and grass lands, for garden and field crops. Quantity Required. For permanent pasture and mowing lands, 44 to 1 ton per acre. For trees and vines, 2 to 4 quarts each. For top dressing, 1,000 to 1,500 lbs. per acre. For field and garden crops, %% to 1 ton broad- casted and harrowed in. Freight charges to be paid by the purchaser. Bone Meal, Flour or Dust.

This is moderately fine and particularly adapted for general fertilizing purposes; finer particles are im- mediately beneficial, the coarse keeping up the supply of plant food for a long period. : Price: 10 lbs., 35c; 25 lbs., 75c; 100 lbs., 2.00. Pure Crushed, or Coarse Bone. This is largely used for pasture lands, being rather slow but permanent in action, and it is also indispensable in the preparation of grape vine borders, for fruit trees, small fruits, etc., where a lasting fertilizer is required. Also for poultry. Price: 10 lbs., 35c; 25 lbs., 75c; 100 lbs., $2.00. Walker’s Flower and Plant Food. This is a most useful fertilizer for all kinds of plants raised in pots.

It does well on any soil suitable for pota- toes. Rural New Yorker. This new potato originated on the experimental grounds of The Rural New Yorker, and, although only introduced in 1889, has already created quite a furore among potato growers.
