Catalogues. 



Messrs. Edmondson, of Dame Street, Dublin, have 

 issued their Catalogue of Bulbs and Flower Eoots. 

 We note that all the most popular kinds are again 

 offered, including Hyacinths, which have been 

 missed for some years. 



An excellent list of Sweet Peas is also offered, 

 and those who would have sturdy plants for putting 

 out in April should order the seed now and sow in 

 pots in a cold frame, giving plenty of air at all 

 times unless in the case of prolonged hard frost.
