Nursery stock Louisiana New Orleans Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Agricultural implements Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs. 36 C. W. EICHLING, NEW ORLEANS, THE HOT BED. For early vegetables, some provision for starting certain plants J-BBWSHiHt earlier than can be done in the open air is necessary. For this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ purpose nothing is better than a good hot-bed, and its construction is so simple and the expense so light, that every garden should have one. A hot-bed proper not only protects the plants from cold, but supplies bottom heat. Fresh horse manure mixed with dried leaves makes the best heating material. This must be forked over and thrown in a loose pile; let it remain for a few days, and then fork it over again, allow- ing it to heat a second time; this will then fit it for use. Make a frame of sound lumber, back twenty inches liigh, front twelve inches, and have sash to cover same. Spread your manure evenly, and tramp it well to- gether till your bed is a foot or more deep; then fill in six inches of good earth, and cover with frame. Put a thermometer in the ground, and begin planting after the soil has cooled down to 80 degrees. RELIABLE VEGETABLE SEEDS, FRESH, PURE AND TRUE TO NAME. Such I have supplied to our market gardener ^customers for the past 19 years, and such are the varie- ties I name and describe in the preceding pages. To satisfy the most critical demands of those who want the best, and nothing but the best, has been and is my aim. I supply seeds that grow, and that will produce a crop of the desired kind. My seeds are grown under favorable climatic conditions—in the North when earlier maturity is desirable; in a warmer average temperature when size is necessary and slower development the nature of the kind. In short, they are grown where the weather, soil and season in America or Europe brings them forth PERFECT OF THEIR KIND. Experienced seed gro
