LOW’S RETAIL CATALOGUE. 
Under this heading I have listed the most worthy and popular 
sorts usually recommended for general and extensive cultivation. 
Their reputation being firmly established, I make but brief mention 
concerning their character and description, and I have rejected all 
those varieties which have been supplanted by newer and better kinds, 
thus avoiding confusion in making selections. 
Prices are quoted by the packet, ounce, r-4 pound, and pound, in 
small seed ; and by the packet, pint, quart, and 1-4 bushel in the case 
of large seed, consequently I am able to supply in quantities to suit 
the requirements and convenience of ail customers. Unless otherwise 
specified, at the 1-4 bushel rates I sell quantities of four quarts and 
upwards, less than four quarts are sold at quart rates, at lb. prices 
1-4 lb. quantities and upwards, less than 1-4 lb. at packet and ounce 
rates. 
I would here again state to Market Gardeners and Farmers using large quantities of garden or field seeds that ! 
issue a Special List, at correspondingly reduced rates, to meet their demands, which I send by mail, post-paid, upon 
application.

ARTICHOKE, Clobe. 
Sow in April, in rich soil, and transplant the following spring to permanent beds in rows three feet apart and two 
feet between the plants. The plantation the first season will give but a partial crop ; but as it :s a perennial, after 
being once established, the beds will remain in bearing for many years. It should be protected in winter by a covei ■ 
ing of leaves or coarse manure. 
1. Large Globe, best for general culture. Price per pkt., io cts. ; per oz., 40 cts. 
ASPARACUS. 
Culture. — Sow early in spring in drills two inches deep, rows one foot apart ; keep clear from weeds by fre- 
quent weeding. When one or two years old, transplant into permanent beds, which should be made rich by plenty of 
manure. The perfection of the shoots depends mainly upon the favorable condition of the soil. Set the plants in 
the rows about one foot apart, with crown of the root three inches below the surface. Every' fall remove the stalks 
and apply a good dressing of manure, which it would be well to stir in the following spring with a liberal dressing of 
fine salt.
