CATALOGUES BECEIVED. 



F. W. Xelsey Nursery Co., New York, N. Y. 

 — An Illustrated lolder, containing a special 

 ■wholesale list of ornamental stock, both decid- 

 uous and evergreen. Seedlings and other small 

 Ktock are included. 



Fanner Seed Sc Nursery Co., Faribault, Minn. 

 —An Illustrated, 128-page catalogue. It is com- 

 pactly printed and is comprehensive in both seed 

 and nursery departments. Grains and other field 

 seeds have special prominence in the book. The 

 cover is printed in colors by the offset process. 



Conard & Jones Co., West Grove, Pa. — An il- 

 lustrated catalogue of "Star Brand" roses, can- 

 uas, perennials, shrubs, small fruits, miscella- 

 neous plants, flower seeds, bulbs and garden 

 requisites; a 52-page book of the unfailingly ac- 

 curate and attractive "C. & J." type. The de- 

 sign on the front cover, showing a pink rose 

 -with the trade-mark star as a background, is 

 both striking and tasteful. Perhaps it is scarcely 

 necessary to add that roses and cannas are spe- 

 cialties. 



Thomas J. Grey Co., Boston, Mass. — A well- 

 printed catalogue; illustrated, 114 pages, in a 

 neat black and white cover. Although seeds 

 have first place In the book— first in order and 

 in other respects — yet the plantsman's and nurs- 

 eryman's lines are also well represented. 

 Aquatics might be mentioned as a specialty. 

 Notably large stocks of implements and supplies 

 are listed. The first six pages are occupied by 

 novelties and specialties in flower and vegetable 

 seeds. 



Allen, Sterling & Xothrop, Portland. Me.— 

 "Sterling Quality" seeds, bulbs, roots, flowering 

 and vegetable plants, implements and sundries; 

 an illustrated, well-printed catalogue, in a de- 

 cidedly tasteful gray-green cover. The lists of 

 dairy and poultry supplies, and of tools and 

 equipments for garden, farm and greenhouse, 

 are particularly comprehensive; in fact, these 

 classes of merchandise occupy about half of the 

 total eighty pages In the book. 



James Viok's Sons. Rochester, N. Y.— "Vlck's 

 Aster Book for Florists," a book of twenty good- 

 sized pages, devoted entirely to asters. It is 

 printed on enameled paper, is well illustrated 

 and contains clear descriptions. "This," says 

 the company, "is the age of the specialist. For 

 many varieties of seed we contract with men 

 who grow them better than we could. In asters 

 we have specialized longer, introduced more va- 

 rieties and grown more seed than any other 

 seedsmen in America." 



St. Joseph, Mo. — A 125-foot steel 

 smokestack at the greenhouses of the 

 Stuppy Floral Co., Ashland boulevard 

 and Lovers Lane, was blown down 

 March 4. Several sections of the es- 

 tablishment were wrecked and the dam- 

 age to the stock is placed by Frank 

 Stuppy, president of the company, at 

 $15,000. About 1,100 rose plants and 

 900 palms were ruined by the cold, but 

 by shutting off the connected houses 

 about 80,000 other plants were saved.
