■ame Bort of substitution is often prac- 

 ticed by dishonest seedsmen with many 

 kinds of vegetable seed, thus causing the 

 farmer and the market gardener very 

 great losses. The grower finds when he 

 comes to harvest his crop that it is not 

 what he contracted to supply and not 

 what the market demands. 



TIME TO PLANT ASTERS. 



When should early asters be planteJ 

 inside; also late asters? How far apart 

 should they be planted? C. S. L. 



Plant early asters inside about April 

 1 and set the plants about eight to ten 

 inches apart each way. Plant the latest 

 ones about July 1. A. F. J. B. 



NARaSSI AND TULIPS. 



We wish to grow daffodils and tulips 

 another year and should like to know the 

 best varieties to grow to have them in 

 bloom from Christmas right on to Easter, 

 and how to handle the bulbs to get the 

 best results. J. S. & S. 



The best varieties of narcissi to grow 

 are: Trumpet Major, French bulbs, for 

 Christmas and through January, and then 

 Golden Spur to follow it. The latter 

 can be had by the middle of January, 

 but comes better at the end of the month. 

 These are the two best forcing narcissi. 

 Princeps is a cheap, easily grown va- 

 riety and easily forced; it is somewhat 

 lacking in substance, but is still sold in 

 large quantities. N. poeticus omatus 

 may be had in flower from January 20 

 untiL Easter, or later. N. poeticus is 

 useful in March and April. It will not 

 force like ornatus. !For a large, white 

 winged trumpet narcissus, there is noth- 

 ing to beat Victoria. It is best during 

 February and March. There are a num- 

 ber of other narcissi that are grown com- 

 mercially to some extent. These include 

 Henry Irving, Emperor, Empress, Sir 

 Watkin and Leedsii. 



La Heine is the moat popular early 

 forcing tulip. It is not good at Christ- 

 mas, but after the middle of January 

 comes finely. Yellow Prince is a good 

 yellow and Belle Alliance is a useful 

 scarlet. Cottage Maid, Thomas Moore, 

 Kdzerkroon, Proserpine and Rose Gris- 

 delin are other inexpensive and useful 

 early, tifilips for forcing. In doubles 

 Courpif^C d'Or and Murillo 'are the 

 leaders.

soon as possible after receiving them. 

 The narcissi will do well on a dark cellar 

 floor without any covering, but the tulips 

 should have a coating of fine cinders 

 until they are sprouted a couple of inches. 

 For the earliest batches the tulips should 

 be placed in a case which can be dark- 

 ened, as for lily of the valley. They will 

 stand a brisk top heat, but do not need 

 any bottom heat. It will be necessary 

 to grow all the early batches of tulips 

 dark until they have sufficient length of 

 stem. If placed directly in light, they 

 would be too short-stemmed. In the case 

 of narcissi it is less necessary to draw 

 them up. The flats can be stood below
