ary Surpluij List, for Nurserymen and Dealers 

 only." Much of the stock offered is in small 

 sizes, with prices by the hundred and thousand, 

 but there are also extensive assortments of good- 

 sized trees and shrubs. Peonies and field-Rrown 

 roses also are listed and nut trees are among 

 the specialties. 



Mountain View Floral Co., Portland, Ore. — 

 "Roses of World's Fame from Portland's Kose 

 Farm," an illustrated catalogue of roses, peren- 

 nials, h\ilbs, nursery stock and seeds of peren- 

 nials; thirty-eight pages, printed on a good qual- 

 ity of cream-tinted paper. The sixteen pages of 

 roses are outdoor-grown and are mostly budded 

 stock, but own-root roses also are supplied. 



Roman J. Irwin, New York, N'. Y. — "Florists' 

 Wholesale Catalogue of Plants. Cuttings. liulbs. 

 Choice Flower Seeds and Supplies," a neat, com- 

 pact, pocket-form book of thirty-six pages, illus- 

 trated. "Twent.v-seven years of practical ex- 

 perience," sn.vs Mr. Irwin, "enables me to know 

 where to get the best stock, for which I contract 

 with growers who specialize in the different 

 plants, there being few who can grow many 

 things well." 



Gunn Seed Co., Lincoln, Neb. — A 32-page, 

 illustrated catalogue of seeds, roses, bulbs, orna- 

 mental shrubs, poultry supplies, tools and 

 sundries. Under the head of "Our Guarantee." 

 after giving assurance of the good quality of 

 the seeds, the compan.v adds concisely, "We do 

 not guarantee the crop in any way, because we 

 cannot plant your seed or control weather con- 

 ditions. This guarantee means just what it 

 says." 



Martin Kohankie, Painesville, 0. — Wholesale 

 list of hardy perennials, pot plants, roses, shrubs 

 and vines; also seeds of perennials. The alpha- 

 betical list of perennials occupies the greater 

 part of tlie eight large pages. The first page is 

 embellished with a colored picture of the red 

 variety of Meehan's Mallow Marvel. 



J. W. Jung Seed Co., Randolph, Wis. — "Jung's 

 Seed Annual," a 64-page catalogue, freely illus- 

 trated. The first fourteen pages are devoted to 

 specialties, chiefly in vegetables, wliich, says the 

 l>ook, "cannot fail to please o\ir customers." At 

 the end is a wholesale vegetable li^t for market 

 gardeners. 



William P. Stark Nurseries, Stark City, Mo.— 

 "IIow to Beautify Your Home Orounds," a 48- 

 page book, with many illustrations and several 

 diagrams or plans. This is not a catalogue in 

 the ordinary sense of tlie word, since it contains 

 no prices but is packed with helpful suggestions. 

 "This booklet," says William P. Stark, the 

 author, "is for the home-maker. It is not a 

 complete textbook on landscape gardening, but 

 It does give the information necessar.v for 

 planting suitable trees and shrubs about the 

 home, and tells how to arrange and care for 

 them." 



Wooster, O. — Philip Eice, who cares 

 for the James Mulling greenhouse, one 

 day last week placed some boards on 

 top of the furnace with the idea of dry- 

 ing them for kindling. The wood dried 

 all right; in fact, it dried too well and 

 became kindling before Mr. Kice in- 

 tended it to. In a short time several 

 brigades of firemen were on the prem- 

 ises, but there was more smoke than 

 blaze. Little damage was done.
