tional prices in the market this year. 

 Yet, in the same mail comes a letter 

 from an equally large factor, located in 

 Delaware, stating that in his almost 

 forty years of canning he has never seen 

 prices so high. 



It all seems to depend on the uncer- 

 tainty of labor. Last summer thousands 

 of acres of tomatoes rotted on the vines 

 because help could not be had to pick 

 them. Farmers fear that if they con- 

 tract now, they will find, when the crop 

 is ripening fastest, that help cannot be 

 had; especially if Uncle Sam should be 

 drawn into the war and stait^ to raise 

 an army of, say, a million men. If some 

 one would discover a way to harvest 

 crops without help the part of the h. c. 1. 

 due to farm crops would be largely elim- 

 inated, 



CATALOaUES BECEIVED. 



H. J. Weber Sc Sons Nursery Co., Nursery, Mo. 

 — "Weber's Guide; Fiftieth Anniversary Issue," 

 iin 80-page, illustrated catalogue, much more com- 

 I)reheiisive than its size would indicate, as tlie 

 type is small, tliough clear, and the arrangement 

 is compact. Considerable space is given to in- 

 structions about planting, pruning, etc., and 

 about the selection of trees and slinibs with 

 reference to size and decorative qualities. Be- 

 sides tlie nursery stock, wliicli includes nut trees, 

 there are lists of greenliouse plants and hardy 

 perennials. 



Peter Henderson & Co., New York. N. Y.— 

 "Henderson's Implement and Lawn Catalogue"; 

 sixty-four pages, illustrated. This seems to be 

 about the right book for those wlio want any 

 sort of tool, large or small, simple or complicated, 

 tliat is used in garden, lawn or orchard; the 

 right book for those wlio want sometliing definite 

 in this line or wlio want to decide what they 

 want. Many mixtures of lawn grass seeds also 

 are offered, under such names as "Shady Nook," 

 "Sunny South," "Tough Turf," "Terrace Sod," 

 etc., and three pages are devoted to describing 

 "the Henderson system of lawn mJiking." "Hen- 

 derson's Farmers' Manual" also has been received, 

 us recorded in The Ueview of March 1. 



Everette H. Peacock Co., Chicago, 111. — An 

 illustrated wholesale catalogue of "Peacock 

 Hrand" seeds, "a price list strictly for market 

 gardeners"; forty-eight pages. The greatest 

 space and prominence are given to vegetable and 

 farm seeds, and the brief list of flower seeds 

 "does not comprise the entire stock." In addi- 

 tion to seeds, the book offers nursery stock, 

 perennials, tools and sundries. "Owing to the 

 variations in legal weights and measures as 

 adopted by the different states of the Union." 

 says the company, "we have adopted the cental 

 system and hereafter will sell beans, peas and 

 corn, not by the measure or bushel, but by the 

 pound, as in all other cases with seeds." 



D. v. Howell, Peconic. N. Y. — \ IC-page cata- 

 logue of dahlias, "all field-grown; no plants or 

 pot-grown bulbs." Dahlias are the Howell spe- 

 cialty, but a dozen or more varieties of gladioli 

 also are listed. 



W, W. Johnson & Son, Ltd., Roston, England. 

 —Illustrated wholesale catalogue of vegetable 

 and flower seeds; ninety-two large pages, printed 

 on enameled paper, in the tirst-class style for 

 which this company is noted. On page 1 is this 

 notice: "We have refrained from quoting prices 

 in several instances. Our customers may fully 

 rely on our treating them as liberally as possible 

 in such cases, but it is impossible under present 

 conditions to fix values at the time of going to 

 press." As might be expected, seed potatoes are 

 among the items that are not priced, though 

 lirobably not quite "without price" or "priceless" 

 in a common sense of those words, as the prices, 

 says the book, will be quoted on application. 



Wachendorff Bros., Atlanta, Ga. — A 32-page 

 catalogue of plants, nursery stock and flower 

 seeds; it is not illustrated, but is well printed 

 iind generally attractive in design and arrange- 

 ment. The plant lists are extensive, comprising 

 tK)th indoor and hardy stock. 



White Floral Gardens, Portland, Ore. — Illus- 

 trated catalogue of dahlias, gladioli, cannas, 

 perennials and bedding plants; sixteen pages, 

 liound so as to be folded in convenient shape for 

 pocket or pigeonhole. Dahlias are the specialty. 

 This company is the successor to the Willamette 

 Dahlia & Floral Co. 



Richard F. Gloede, Evanston, 111. — A handsome 

 50-page catalogue, offering i)erennials, roses, 

 climbing plants, fruit-bearing stock, garden 

 furniture, vegetable and flower seeds. In the 

 book Mr. Gloede makes a strong, persuasive 

 appeal as a landscape gardener, enforcing his 

 arguments with contrasting pictures of planted 

 and unplanted grounds. 



Wilford Perry, Provo, Utah.— An illustrated, 

 TA-p&ge catalogue of seeds, flower and vegetable 

 plants, bulbs, poultry supplies, tools and sundries. 

 Peas and beans are priced by the pound, but the 

 prices of all varieties of corn are quoted by 

 measurement.
