Drummond's Garden Seeds. — This well-known 

 Dublin firm has made ample provision for food 

 production in garden and on the farm. Their 

 lists of vegetable seeds are comprehensive and 

 comprise the best and most select strains on the 

 market. One would have expected a drastic 

 curtailment in the number of varieties offered 

 considering the disabilities of a long and exacting 

 war ; yet our seedsmen have nobly surmounted 

 innumerable difficulties, and in Drummond's 

 Catalogue will be found all that is required to get 

 the maximum amount of food out of garden or 

 allotment. Flowers, too, are not forgotten, and 

 the beautiful annuals which formerly graced our 

 gardens can still find a place to cheer the sorrowing 

 and gladden the eyes and mind of our war-worn 

 soldiers and sailors who, back from the hoiTors 

 of the battlefield and the heaving waves and 

 breakers in the North Sea and elsewhere, find 

 solace, comfort and renewed health among the 

 flower-lit paths of our gardens and parks. Cata- 

 logue from W. Drummond & Sons, Ltd., 57 and 

 58 Dawson Street, Dublin. 



Wm. Power & Co., Waterford. — Readers of 

 Irish Gardening hardly need an introduction 

 to this widely known Waterford firm. Their 

 handsomely illustrated catalogue has been ready 

 for some time, and anyone not in possession of a 

 copy should write at once. The flower section 

 is omitted for this year owing to paper restric- 

 tions, but by reference to former catalogues 

 customers can have their needs supplied. The 

 firm will welcome enquiries for any seeds on the 

 niarket. Their vegetable selections comprise the 

 best standard varieties with many of the firm's 

 own specialities. Collections of vegetable seeds 

 from 2s. 6d. to 21s. should prove popular: an 

 attractive lot being the Allotment Collection for 

 3s. 6d. Throughout the body of the catalogue 

 there is an abundant selection of all the best 

 vegetables, and no garden need be without an 

 abundance of food material if Power's Catalogue 

 is consulted.
