Currie Bros. Co., Milwaukee, Wis. — "Ciirrie's 

 Farm and Garden Annual," listing seeds, bulbs, 

 roots, hardy plants, roses, nursery stock, imple- 

 ments and miscellaneous supplies; ninety-six 

 pages, illustrated. "Beans, sweet corn and 

 peas," says the book, "will this year and here- 

 after be offered and sold by the pound instead 

 of by the measured unit, pint, quart, peck, etc., 

 ns heretofore. This system Is being adopted by 

 leading seedsmen all over the country, and its 

 adoption from the seedsman's standpoint will 

 considerably simplify the handling of these va- 

 rieties. To avoid possible misunderstanding and 

 confusion, and as an aid to customers in making 

 out orders, we are showing on the bean, sweet 

 com and pea pages the quantity value of the 

 pound in terms of the pint and the number of 

 pounds to the bushel." 



Audubon Nursery, Wilmington, N. C. — "De- 

 scriptive Handbook of Choice Ornamental Trees, 

 Shrubs and Plants," a notably accurate and 

 attractive catalogue, containing forty-eight long, 

 narrow pages, well illustrated and bound In a 

 tasteful, distinctive cover. It is well named a 

 "handbook," being in handy form for pocket and 

 pigeonhole. Fruit-bearing and nut-bearing stock 

 is included in the lists. Bamboos and pampas 

 grass are among the rarer items mentioned. 



Danish Seed Import, Minneapolis, Minn. — An 

 illustrated wholesale list of Danish seeds and of 

 vegetable and flowering plants, "for market 

 gardeners and florists"; thirty- two pages and 

 cover. Cabbage and cauliflower are specialties. 

 "The last summer," says Chris. Mosbjerg, the 

 manager, "was an unfavorable season for seed 

 growing, causing a general shortage, but we have 

 been so fortunate as to get a fairly complete 

 stock." Beans, peas and corn are priced by the 

 pound. 



L. J. Farmer, Pulaski, N. Y. — "Strawberries 

 and Other Fruit Plants," a 48-page illustrated 

 catalogue of fruit-bearing and ornamental stock, 

 vegetable roots anif plants, farm seeds, etc. The 

 first one-third of the book is devoted to straw- 

 berry plants and comprises a 4-page article 

 entitled "Seven Years' Experience with Fall- 

 bearing Strawberries." 



Jackson tc Perkins Co., Newark, N. Y. — Bulle- 

 tin No. 2, to the trade only; "orders must be 

 made up in tens or multiples of ten at these 

 prices." This is a 12-page list of roses, peren- 

 nials and general nursery stock, including young 

 stock for nursery planting. "We grow large 

 quantities of roses," says the bulletin, "both for 

 planting out in our own nurseries and to sell to 

 other nurserymen." 



G. H. Hunkel Co., Milwaukee, Wis. — Illustrated 

 catalogue of seeds, vegetable plants and roots, 

 summer-flowering bulbs and roots, farm and gar- 

 den tools, poultry supplies, etc. ; a compact, 

 business-like book of eighty pages, with concise 

 cultural directions. A warning is given as to 

 the scarcity of beans. Four years have elapsod 

 since the Hunkel Co. and the Wemich Seed Co. 

 were combined as one organization. 



Job. W. Vestal & Son, Little Rock, Ark. — Two 

 attractive catalogues, general and wholesale. 

 Both are illustrated. The general catalogue is 

 bound in a particularly artistic cover and con- 

 tains eighty pages, besides four fine, full-page 

 halftone plates and a 4-page pink insert. Among 

 the stock offered in the general list, roses have the 

 first and largest space; then follow bedding and 

 decorative plants, perennials, nursery stock, 

 seeds, vegetable roots and plants. The 16-pago 

 wholesale list offers roses and an "assortment 

 of plants for all puriwses." 



Hush Park Seed Co., Waco, Tex.— "Betail 

 Catalogue and Buyers' Guide," a 64-page illus- 

 trated book, listing seeds, bulbs, flowering and 

 vegetable plants, nursery stock, tools and sup- 

 plies. This suggestion is offered to southern 

 patrons: "Our slogan, 'Raise your own food 

 and put your cotton money in the bank,' is even 

 more pat this year, Texas having done this thing 

 to a greater extent than ever before. There is 

 the danger that 20-cent cotton may prove too 

 great a temptation for some of us, so that the 

 acreage for food and feed crops may be en- 

 croached upon." 



B. Hammond Tracy, Wenham, Mass. — "Cedar 

 Acres Gladioli," a well illustrated, tasteful 32- 

 page catalogue, with cultural directions and with 

 suggestions regarding tlie best varieties in each 

 color. Besides the general stock of gladioli in 

 tlie alpljabetical list, the booklet offers assort- 

 ments of named varieties, and mixtures selected 

 according to color or other peculiarities. "We 

 are pleased to announce," says Mr. Tracy, "the 

 harvest of one of the largest and finest crops of 

 gladiolus bulbs ever stored away at Cedar Acres."

Falls City, Neb. — The formal opening 

 of the new Simanton & Pence store in 

 the Simpson building was a great suc- 

 cess. Four hundred small ferns pro- 

 vided by the management as souvenirs 

 were not suflScient for one-third the 

 number of visitors. The firm operates 

 the Sunnyside Greenhouses.
