IRISH GARDENING 



Vll 



no bulb or conn for spring planting is moTe 

 worthy of attention from both amateur and pro- 

 fessional gardeners. A large and coniprehensivr 

 list of sundries is included, and to those whose 

 duties include farm management the last page of 

 the catalogue will proive valuable and suggestive. 



Messrs. Rowan & Co., of Capel Street, Dublin, 

 have favoured us with a copy of their new 

 catalogue of flower and vegetable seeds, and we 

 heartily commend it to our readers. Messrs. 

 Rowan are nothing if not enteiprising, and their 

 list of seeds and the general " get up " of the 

 catalogue will bear co*mparison with anything 

 produced in Ireland or Great Britain. Of novelties 

 in flower seeds we note that a feature is made 

 of the new race of Regal laipins, embracing the 

 most wonderful range of colours in these popular 

 carly-fluwering herbaceous plants. In new antirr- 

 hinums, too, there is a marvellously fine range of 

 colours, while Sweet Peas .ire well represented 

 along with new varieties of Schizanthus, Sun- 

 flowers, Verbenas, Zinnias, &c. Among Vegetables 

 there are new varieties of Beans, Peas, Cauli- 

 flower, Melons, &c., while the general list of 

 vegetable seeds contains all that could be de- 

 sired. Various garden sundries are offered, 

 together with up-to-date labour-saving appliances. 

 A special line is made of Bee Hives and fittings. 



Long known in Ireland, it is sufficient to mention 

 that Messrs. Dickson, of Chester, issued their new- 

 season's seed catalogue some time ago. Needless 

 to say, it is up-to-date in all that appertains to the 

 Vegetable and Flower Garden. The well-known 

 Chester strains of vegetaliles and flowers are as 

 potent as ever in the world of horticulture, and 

 the list is kept up to high-water mark by the 

 inclusion of new and improved varieties.
