Mkssrs. DtiHBiK .\Nn Co.. Edinhur*:!!. have 

 favoured lis with a oopv of their new Seed and 

 Plant l.ist for 1921. Profusely illusi rated and 

 well printed, it i.s one of the most eoini)rehensive 

 lists in the trade. A noteworthy feature is the 

 excellent cultural directions <riven with each 



different, kind of vegetable, together with the 

 (luantity of .seed required for a t-'iven leiifrth of 

 row. or area: this is of immense service to 

 amateurs or to yoiinp head trardeners making up 

 Hii order. The packets in which Dohliies flower 

 seeds are made up also contain cultural 

 diriM'tions. Messr.'^. Dohhie are seed jirowers on 

 a lurtje scale, and many of their strains are grown 

 on their own seed farms inider tlie ])ersonal 

 supervision of members of the firm, lience the e.\- 

 eenence of these strains and their success at ex- 

 hibitions and in the garden. Df/bhie's are well 

 known in the ])otato world, and liave lieen instru- 

 mental in introducing some of the most popular 

 varieties in eultivation. This year they are offer- 

 ing only varieties immune to wart disea.se. with 

 the exception of the ])opiilar Midlothian Early. 

 .\s sweet pea s]K'cialists. Messrs. Dobbie are justly 

 renowned, and some of their exhibits at the lead- 

 ing shows have caused little short of a sensation. 

 As growers and raisers of Antirrhinums, the firm 

 has been most sueeOssful, having won no less 

 than three gold medals for this popular flower. 

 Many of the finest annuals can l)e purchased in 

 twopenny packets, a great eonvenience to many 

 who require a smaller quantity than is eontained 

 in the liieher i)riced packets. Gladioli in fine 

 variety. Liliums and other plants for .spring 

 planting, make uj) a very fine catalogue.
