catalogue, which was unavoidably delay, it W'r 

 have now the comiilete work lu'fore us. An\ 

 small inconvenienci' experienced l)y customeis 

 will be more than <omp»-nsat('d foi- l)y receijit ol 

 the catalogue. I'roduced in the })est style, it 

 contains a very line selection of seeds, and we 

 cannot do less than allude to the Very lucid and 

 apt descriptions wliich accompanv the various 

 items ofi'ered. The printing is of tlie best ; and 

 Missrs. -Mackey are to l)e commended for the use 

 of bold clear tvpe and an absence of that cbanginu 

 from large type to very small, which makes tbe 

 perusal of a catalogue very trying, particularly 

 by night light. The illustrations are tyi)ical of 

 the subjects, and the selection of varieties has 

 lieen made with great care. 



We have been favoured with a copy of Messhs. 

 Wm. Power &: Co.'s Catalogue of Seeds for 191(). 

 This well-known and enterprising Firm needs no 

 introduction to readers of Irish (iAUDENiNG. In 

 addition to being seedsmen they are also renowne<l 

 as nurserymen and landscape gardeners. It will 

 be fresh in the minds of readers that it was 

 Mes.srs. Power who gainc d tlie award offered by 

 the Dublin ('ori)oration for the best plan for th-- 

 laying out of the new park at Fairview. The 

 present catalogue is one of the best yet issued. 

 Printed on iinely finished ])a|)er and profusely 

 illustrated, it ought to be in the hands of all 

 gardeners. The lists of vegetable and flower 

 seeds are remarkably comidete yet withal select : 

 the number of varieties offered comprises all the 

 standard types, but is limited to the best, and 

 from a careful perusal of the Catalogue we ai-e 

 satisfied that ])urchasers will not be disa])pointed. 

 In addition to seeds, choice selections of (iladioli. 

 i/iii( s. Begonias, and other ])opular buHts and 

 tubers are offered. House i lants, potatoes and 

 siiiidriis. all well illustrated- com])lete a most 

 interesting, instructive and coni])rehensive 

 catalogue. 



R. Waliace <!t Co.. Colchest'r.— We have just 

 received Messrs. Wallace's new Catalogue of 

 (iladioli. Lilies, and other Bulbs and Roots for 

 spi'ing ])lanting. The opening [)ages are devoted 

 to flowei'ing shrubs for early forcing, and many 

 of the very finest novelties in herbaceous and 

 al])ine plants and shrubs. As growers of Liliums. 

 Messrs. Wallace have long held a leading i>lace. 

 and of recent years they have given si)ecial 

 attention to the (iladiolus. They now ]>resent a 

 list of (ila(Uoli. eiuliraciug all the vari<nis sections.
