RECENT PUBLICATIONS. 



Siinmer^s Descriptive Catalogue of 

 Flowering Bulbs. — This pamphlet is 

 neatly got up and well illustrated. It 

 contains a description of the more pro- 

 minent dutch flowering bulbs, kept for 

 sale by J. A. Simmers, 1 47 King Street 

 East, Toronto. 



The Canadian Live Stock Journal, 

 published at Hamilton, Ont., by the 

 Stock Journal Publishing Co., is a neatly 

 got up monthly magazine of 36 pages, 

 devoted to the interest of farmers who 

 make a business of growing live stock. 

 It is ably conducted and deserves to 

 succeed. Exhibition number just re- 

 ceived. 



Descriptive Catalogue of Fruits, 1886, 

 Ellwanger & Barrey, Rochester. This 

 catalogue deserves notice, aside entirely 

 from its business value, as containing 

 reliable descriptions of all the more 

 prominent fruits, large and small, ex- 

 cepting strawberries. It is embellished 

 with a handsome colored plate of the 

 Industry Gooseberry. 



The Farmer's Advocate, edited by 

 Mr. Wm. Weld, London, Ont., is most 

 ably conducted in the interests of 

 Canadian farmers. We are glad to 

 notice in the October number some 

 account of the annual meeting of the 

 Fruit Growers' Association at T(.)ronto 

 and a most cordial mention of this jour- 

 nal. We do not know of any monthly 

 magazine that is so popular among 

 Canadian farmers as the Farmer's Ad- 

 vocate
