THE ARISTOCRATS OF THE PONIES. 
TEN MAGNIFICENT NEW VARIETIES. 
THE results achieved by years of labor and crossing with the very finest Ponies then in existence by our Mr. James Farquhar.

These varieties are of the highest quality, large size, strong, erect habit and are all more or less scented. Distinguished by their fine 
form and coloring. They have been highly commented upon by experts, who have seen them, and who claim that they will rank with the 
very choicest varieties that as yet have been introduced.

FARQUHAR’S GOLD MEDAL 
PONIES. 
The Gold Medal of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society 
was awarded to R. & J. Farquhar Co. for a Display of Pzo- 
nies, June, 1913. 
Ponies require a good rich, deep soil and an abundant supply of 
water during the growing season. When enriching the ground the use of 
too much fresh manure near the roots should be avoided. An impor- 
tant point to observe is not to plant too deep. The roots should be 
planted so that the eyes will be 2 to 3 inches below the surface. Too 
deep planting is a frequent cause for shy flowering. 
The figure following the name indicates the relative time of flowering.
