MlisSKs. Jv. \\ai,i.A( !•: \ Co.. ("olclieslei-. Iiave 

 favoured us witlv a copy of their Spring Catalogue 

 of liilies, liegonias. (iladioli and New Chinese 

 IMants. iV:c. Tlie fiontispiece shows a chaiining 

 illustration of the beautiful new Primula helodoxa 

 at home in Vunnan, and inside is a line ligure 

 of I*, nutans. A spiay of Berberis W'il.sonse. 

 beautifully coloured, is shown as a loose-leaf 

 <Miclosure, and will doubtless tempt many to 

 possess so lovely a shrub. The body of the 

 «-alalogue is replete with all the best and most 

 beautiful bulbous and cormous plants, for many 

 of whicli .Messrs. Wallace are specially famous.

 llieir Seed and Plant (iuide. ilany novelties in 

 seeds and ])lantsare olTered. together with concise 

 cultural directions for the princij)al crops. On 

 pagi^ on<' collecti(»ns for cottagers and amateurs 

 are olTered as well as juore expensive ones for 

 larger gardens. 



.Mk.s.shs. |,i-j-ri,K \ B.\i,l.A.N'jy.\K. Carlisle, send 

 their new season's list of farm seeds. These lists 

 are of paramount importance to all who are in 

 any w^ay resi^onsible for farming operations at 

 the present tinxe. Their many customers will 

 find this old established firm has made ample, 

 provision for meeting the extra deniand likely 

 to arise from increased tillage. 



Mkssrs. Hydkk. of St. Albans, well kjiowii as the 

 pioneers of the penny seed packet, have sent us 

 a copy of the new list for 1917. Theii- thou.sands 

 of customers will not l)e surprised to learn that 

 they have been conyjfjelled to raise the minimum 

 price of their pacjiets to l|d. Everyone will 

 realise the necessity of this, and the only wonder 

 is that they can still offer so cheaply ; it is surely 

 a triumph of business organisation. The cata- 

 logue is as interestingas ever and freely illustrated. 

 The large number of people now taking up 

 gardening for the first time will find this a ust^ful 

 Jist.
