IRISH GARDENING 



Castle strains are well known. We note they are 

 offering a new first early named Dunvcooii, which, 

 after three years' trial, luis been officially declared 

 immune from Wart Disease. 



The second part of Ihe Guide is devoted tn 

 flowers, and we note that the famous strains of 

 Antirrhinum, Clai-kia, l^arkspur, Godetia, etc., are 

 as prominent as heretofore, while greenhouse 

 plants like Begonias. Calceolarias, Cinerarias, 

 Gloxinias, Cyclamen, and Primula are offered in 

 choice variety. 



There are many beautiful illustrations, many 

 of them reproduced in colours, the whole produc- 

 ing a charming effect. We confidently recommend 

 a perusal of this sumptuous work, which may bo 

 obtained by request from The Koyal Seed 

 Establishment, Reading. 



Tlie rinnters' Guide, from Messrs. Lit<Je and 

 Ballantyne, is a useful publication in which large 

 quantities of forest trees are offered in suitable 

 sizes for forest jilanting. On the first page atten- 

 tion is drawn to a scheme at present under con- 

 sideration in Britain " whereby certain monies 

 are to be devoted towards the clearing, draining, 

 and planting of fore.st lands." Through the body 

 of the catalogue many licautiful ornamental trees 

 and shru):)s are offered, a.? well as Roses and Fruit 

 Trees. This old established firm has been in ex- 

 istence for over a ■■.■entuiy, and is well known to 

 Irish planters.
