 Ljini'. and is of iuiportaiicc in view of thi' iiierease 

 in tillagt! farming, whieh everyone ho])es may lie 

 a permanent feature of Irirfii rural lifi' and in- 

 du.stry. In the past it was no fault of Messrs. 

 Power if tillage was less impeutanl tiian it should 

 Juive heen. They sjjared no effort to have their 

 ■ seeds " and roots of the hnest (|uality, and reaped 

 the reward of a large clinifvlr. In the present 

 eatalogne clovers and natural grasses for per- 

 manent and temporary pastures are a feature, 

 wliile thi'ir pedigree strains of Swedes and Man- 

 golds are worthy of elosr attention. . 



Seed wheats on offer inehide Sensation and 

 ('haini)ion Red. while a full eolleetion of "seed 

 Potatoes includes all tlie l)est varieties. 



Sjtrayers, both Knapsaek and horse-dra-wn. can 

 he sui)i)lied ; also .spraying materials and other 

 atrrionlturai and hortieultural requisites. 



("olleetions of Vegetal)l(> Seeds. Fruit, Forest, 

 and other Ornanu'ntal Trees are included, and our 

 readers will do well to send for a Catalogue. 



Skkds of Quality. — This is tlu- title of an up-to- 

 date little booklet issued by Messrs. M. Rowan & 

 Co., of Capel Street, Dublin, and designed chiefly 

 for the use of Plotholders and owners of small 

 gardens. It is mostly concerned with Vegetables, 

 and rightly so, useful directions being given for 

 cultivation. An excellent selin-tion of v.-irieties is 

 offered, and any gardener, whether plotholder or 

 professional, could find all his requirements fully 

 met in tliis Itooklet. 



A special enclosure illustrates and offers tlu' 

 firm's new Potato, Silver SJKunrock. It is claimed 

 as being equal in vigour and disease-resisting 

 properties to Red Shamrock, bu't without the 

 objectional)le reddish tinge which often spoils 

 the latter variety. 



Collections of Sweet INnis and fjopular annuals 

 of various sorts are an inducement to the Plot- 

 holder to add a little variety to his plot and pro- 

 vide a nosegay for the home. 



l'.i,.\CK.MOUF, Si F<.\Nfioo.\, B.VTH. — The name of this 

 (inn is synonymous with all that is best in Bego- 

 nias, and, despite the difficulties of recent years, 

 it is with a sense of jnide tliat we note the list of 

 novelties in the 1919 Catalogue now before us. 

 Such names as General Allenby, Queen of the 



Belgians, and La France are not likely to have 

 heen given to any but varieties of supcr-exoe.llence, 

 :iud the descriptions bear out this belief. 



We note, loo, several new varieties for hanging 

 l-a d<ets. a delightful type which adds much to the 

 bi'auiy of i>uy conservatories. 



Other special lines are a fine strain of Glo.Kinias, 

 IJorfler Carnations, I)eli»hininms. I'auj^ies, ami 

 Giant Cyclamens. 



It is ciea! that with such admirahli' selections 

 to choose from, our gardejis will rapidly recover 

 from the effects of war, .and we urge ;ill who can 

 reasonal)ly do so lo support tlie nurserymen who 

 have '■ carried on " through the trials and difficuJ- 

 lies which, let us liojie. are Hearing ati inid. 



\Ii:ssi{S. Kn.MONDsoN' Brtos., of Dame Street, 

 Did)liu. have issued their new Catalogue of Vege- 

 table and FlowtM- Seeds, togi'ther -with lists of 

 garden tool- and garden requisites of every de- 

 scription. Our friends need no introduction to 

 readers of Ijush G.\Ri)i;NiN(i. and it is sufficient to 

 say that their 1919 catalogue is well stocked with 

 all the best strahis of vegetable and flower seeds, 

 and we have every confidence in recommending 

 our readers to apply at once for a copy.
