Catalogues. 



SuTTOx's Amateur's Guide. — We have been 

 favoured with a copy of the 1917 issue of thi; 

 excellent work and find it as sumptuous and 

 useful as ever. Messrs. Sutton's fame for strains 

 of vegetable and flower seeds is world wide, and 



has not diminished since the outbreak of war. 

 Realising tlie importance of an ample food supply 

 ;\,nd the likelihood of a shortage from external 

 sources, they immediately concentiated on ijro- 

 viding a plentiful supply of fiist class seeds of 

 vegetables. Their su[)plies liave been adiuirabl>- 

 maintained botli in (juantity and quality, and 

 their novelties ar(! always welcomed. The luesent 

 issue is as full of interest as any of its predecessort. 



MES.SR.S. Webh & Sons, Wordsley, Stourbridge, 

 favour us Avith a copy of their seed list for 19lt. 

 They riglitly urge the necessity for increased 

 production from our gardens, and the selection 

 of vegetable seeds offered is remarkably full and 

 complete. We would especially direct the atten- 

 tion of amateurs to the collections, for a year's 

 supply of vegetables, ranging from 2s. Od. 

 upwards. Needless to say, flower seeds are well 

 represented, and all who require such will find 

 their wants amply catered for. 



SiK Ja.mes Mackey, Ltd., the well known 

 Dublin seedsmen, have issued their new catalogue 

 for 1917. As befits the times, first attention is 

 given to vegetables, and in addition to their 

 standard strains numerous novelties find a place. 

 Despite great difficulties adequate supplies of 

 most things are available, and no garden need be 

 without a fvdl supply of vegetables during the 

 coming season. Flower seeds, too, are offered in 

 quantity as well as grass seetls and garden 

 sundries. Printed on excellent paper and pro- 

 duced in first class style, it forms a useful garden 

 manual.
