Catalogues. 



Daisy Hill Nurseries have for long licen famous 

 for hardv plants of all kinds, and the new cata- 

 logues just to hand give evidence that there is no 

 falliniT-off in the extent of the collections. 



Mr.'o. N. Smith has kindly sent us a copy of 

 his new Tree and Shrub catalogue, and we find 

 therein one of the finest collections of trees and 

 shrubs it would be possible to find anywhere. All 

 the best of the older kinds find a place, while the 

 cream of the newer kinds is included without the 

 rubbish sometimes listed as " Kovelties." Daisy 

 Hill is particularly rich in peat-loving shrubs, or 

 rather in members of the Ericaceae and allied 

 orders which dislike lime, ornamental trees, 

 slirubs. climbers, deciduous, and evergreen are 

 fully represented, and Conifers, including rare and 

 good things like H(i:re(j(ifhra riin.ipiriiii and Fif~- 

 roi/o pntiujonica are offered in great assortment. 

 •It is a fine catalogue, and should be in the hands 

 of all who are planting trees and shrubs on a 

 large or small scale. 



Newry Roses. 

 This is another Daisy Hill publication devoted 

 entirely to Roses, and while the best of the modern 

 garden varieties of all sections is included, the 

 old-fashioned garden roses are more numerous than 

 i.s to i)e fomid in mosT, catalogues, while few, if any. 

 offer so manv Rose STJecies. All who love Roses 

 shinild have a copy of" this unique list. Both may 

 be obtained from Daisy Hill Nurseries, Co. Down. 



Messrs. Sutton & Sons, the renowned seedsmen, 

 of Reading, England, have very kindly presented 

 us with a copy of their Amnteur'a (riiide in 

 Tlortiriiltiii-r for 1922. This is the sixty-seventh 

 annual issue of this important work, a record of 

 which the firm may justly be proud, while it offers 

 absolute proof oi the satisfactory quality of the 

 goods supi)l)ed over a long series of years. 



The first section is devoted to vegetables, more 

 iihan ever important in gardens of any and every 

 size. The famous strains of vegetable seeds offered 

 by Messrs. Sutton for so many years are as fully 

 represented as ever, and we cannot illustrate the 

 increasing demand for Siitton's seeds better than 

 by saying that since 1S70 the number of orders 

 received annually has increased six-fold. 



Potatoes, which now loom so largely in the press, 

 have always been a special line, and their famous
