NOTABLE SEED FARM.

To those interested in horticulture, the seed farms and cross-fertilizing gardens of A. B. Howard at Belchertown have proved attractive spots, says the Spring field Republican. MT. Towards special ties in flowers are asters, zinnias, petunias and verbenas. While he grows large number of other varieties, his asters are nearly perfect and are not affected by the blight or what is known as "coming blind" that is so troublesome in this city. flower shows here here he has exhibited 200 distinct varieties, while the full clus- ters have been admired by florists. He takes pride in his petunias, and he has a strain of the bedding variety, on which he has been working for IS years. His aim has been to produce flowers with a beautiful marbleing on dark and light ground, and the blossoms this year indi- cate that he has accomplished the object. It is now hopd he will offer. them for sale. The new nble zlnnia is grown in large quantities there. It stands only IS inches high, but has from 40 to 5( flowers to plant. The blossoms are not much larger than one's thumb, and in all the colors and shades except blue. Fol bouquets or bedding this is considered | the finest zinnia in cultivation.
 Perhaps the most interesting part o the farm to the small fruit-grower is the gardens devoted to cross-fertilizing grapes and strawberries, where hundreds of seed lings are now growing. The crossing O strawberries has been conducted in thorough, practical manner; large mum Der of varieties have been so treated, bu

The Bay state tomato that has been sold so extensively is the product of his work. His field oi seedling potatoes is an interesting sight, while he has attractive orchards of peach es. pears and apples. MT.

As he appeared to be better during the night his mother fell asleep on a lounge in the same room where he sat in a rocking chair with his feet in another chair.
