CATALOGUES RECEIVED. 



Forest Nursery and Seed Co., Mc- 

 Minnville, Tenn.— Wholesale Trade 

 List for Spring, 1910. 



Sluis & Groot, Enkhuizen, Holland. 

 — General Wholesale Price List of 

 Vegetable, Flower and Agricultural 

 Seeds. Issued under date of Decem- 

 ber 15, 1909. 



W. E. Marshall & Co., New York.— 

 Seed Catalogue 1910. A neat and at- 

 tractive publication showing pains- 

 taking work in its preparation. Covers 

 in grey green tint show portraits of 

 Improved Branching Aster and a Bean 

 of high degree. 



J. Bolgiano & Son, Baltimore, Md. — 

 "Bolgiano's" for 1910, is just out in 

 brilliant dress and full of good sugges- 

 tions for the garden, field and lawn. 

 I. X. L. Tomato has the right of way 

 on the title page. This house has been 

 established 92 years. 



Skidelsky & Irwin Co., Philadelphia, 

 Pa.— 1910 Wholesale List of Bulbs, 

 Plants, Seeds and other Florists' Spe- 

 cialties. A business-like document 

 showing throughout the mark of the 

 man who understands the florist trade 

 and its needs to the limit. If there is 

 anything you want look for it in this 

 catalogue. 



Charles H. Totty, Madison, N. J.— 

 Chrysanthemums and Other Plants for 

 1910. No introduction is needed for 

 anything that this noted chrysanthe- 

 mum expert puts forth. Suffice it to 

 say that the publication is up to Totty's 

 best standard and the chrysanthemums 

 that the progressive grower must have 

 are listed in its pages. 



Henry Mette, Quedlinburg, Germany. 

 —Trade Catalogue 1901-1910 of Vege- 

 table, Flower and Farm Seeds. As 

 usual, this eminent house has sent out 

 a very interesting and comprehensive 

 catalogue. The list of novelties is 

 quite large. Covers in colors, one 

 showing over one hundred varieties of 

 shelled beans, in natural sizes, colors 

 and markings. 



Conard & Jones Co., West Grove, Pa. 

 — New Floral Guide for 1910. We have 

 reviewed this excellent publication 

 year after year, noticing always that 

 it grows better and better each time. 

 The plate of rose Wm. R. Smith which 

 adorns the title page this year is a 

 .gem. Over one-third of the pages are 

 devoted to roses in all classes; caunas 

 and garden flowers in full variety make 

 up the balance of this very creditable 

 catalogue. 



A. T. Boddington, New York.— Bod- 

 dington's Garden Guide, Spring 1910. 

 This is always one of the handsomest 

 catalogues of the year and the one just 

 received is fully the peer of its pre- 

 decessors. H. A. Bunyard's artistic 

 talent is finely displayed in the cover 

 subject — Dimorphotheca aurantiaca, in 

 orange, green and gold. The illustra- 

 tions throughout are of generous size 

 and well placed. Sweet peas are given 



a prominent place. A short history of 

 the sweet pea has been contributed by 

 the Rev. W. T. Hutchins. 



Holmes' 1910 Handbook of Seeds— 

 Holmes' Delicious Sweet Corn in nat- 

 ural colors on front cover, very artis- 

 tically brought out; Holmes' Prolific 

 Green Lima similarly treated on back 

 cover. A compact manual, well writ- 

 ten and well printed. The illustra- 

 tions are mostly originals from photo- 

 graphs, and add greatly to the eluci- 

 dation of the text. The two great 

 novelties of this year, mentioned 

 above, will undoubtedly take their 

 place in the horticultural world 

 along with Holmes' Houser Cabbage, 

 Holmes' Premo Sweet Corn, and many 

 other excellent introductions of this 

 house. Not only vegetables but 

 grasses and forage plants; and in the 

 realm of flowers; in farm and dairy 

 supplies, implements, fertilizers, in- 

 secticides, poultry supplies — in short, 

 everything for the farmer, gardener 

 and florist is well represented in this 

 catalogue. 



John Lewis Childs, Floral Park, N. 

 Y. — Childs' Combination Catalogue. 

 Seeds, Bulbs, Plants, Shrubs, etc. Col- 

 ored title page, hardy ever-blooming 

 pinks, and back cover adorned with 

 attractive small fruits. An interesting 

 catalogue, strong on novelties. Gives 

 more space to the discredited Wonder- 

 berry than anything else. We admire 

 "sand" and tenacity of purpose in a 

 good cause but! "Our Mayor's wife 

 who had a roly-poly pudding made of 

 them" and "My pastor's wife who had 

 a steam pudding'' are still alive, it 

 seems, and all is happy." "Yesterday 

 I made a pie for a banker's family," 

 says one enthusiastic Michigan matron. 

 All these people were "charmed by the 

 foolish whistling of a name" perhaps, 

 but another cylinder will now have to 

 be put on the machine for the "Won- 

 derberry" triumph of Burbank is, we 

 are told, totally eclipsed by Childs' "go 

 you one better," Our Improved Won- 

 derberry or Sunberry. "Sic transit 

 gloria mundi." 



SEED TRADE NOTES. 



The Ohio Valley Seed Company, 

 Evansville, Ind., has increased Its capi- 

 tal stock to $25,000. 



The anxiety to fill up shortages is 

 warrant for the stir in the wholesale 

 seed world at present. May all the 

 good workers in this important cam- 

 paign have a happy New Year in the 

 bosom of their families wherever they 

 belong. Easy enough to say; but hard 

 to accomplish with railway schedules 

 demoralized as they have been for two 

 weeks. 



and commodious and give plenty of 

 room to care for a large and increas- 

 ing business. .John Barrett is presi- 

 dent of the company and E. I. Pine is 

 manager. 



In ordering good* pTease add "I saw
