Uount 'Arbor Kurseries,', Sbenandonh, ,Ia. — 

 Thlrty-flrst annual trade 'list; thirty-six pages, 

 : in ' a substantial orange-colored cover. "We" 

 offer," says the* company, "one of the largest 

 and most complete lines of general nursery 

 stock In the "United States," and the catalogue 

 seems to sustain this assertion. In all depart- 

 ments — hard-wooded stock, perennials •and other 

 ' herbaceous plants, bulbs, tubers and nursery- 

 men's supplies — the assortments seem to be 

 large. 



Leonard Coates Nursery C9., °Mo/ganhlll, Cal. 

 — Two catalogues, representing the tWo different 

 departments of the nursery, ornamental and 

 fruit-bearing. The catalogue of ornamentals 

 is illustrated, consists of twenty pages and 

 colored cover, and offers cannas, miscellaneous 

 perennials and other herbaceous plants, as well 

 as hard-wooded • stock. The prices are quoted, 

 not in the descriptive t«xt, but in a condensed 

 list at the end. The catalogue of fruiting stock 

 la a li2-page booklet; in pocket form. 



L. D, Waller Seed Co., Guadalupe. Cal. — 

 "Contract List. 1922 Crop, to the Seed Trade 

 Only,", a 30-page catalogue- of. flower 'seeds. 

 This Is a fine specimen of the tiigh-grade but 

 upobtrusive sort of trade list, without illustra- 

 tions or much showy adornment. It is well 

 printed on a good quality of paper and Is t)ound 

 in an exceptionally tasteful and durable blue 

 cover, which has ntf embellishment except the 

 conipany's trade-mark and a small amount of 

 embossed gold lettering. At the begiuning are 

 several pages beaded "Novelties of Our Own 

 Raising." 



Ws E. Barrett Co., Providence, R. ■ I. — 

 Seventy-fourth annual catalogue of "Barrett's 

 Best Seeds," an accurately edited, well arranged, 

 fully illustrated book, in a tasteful cover that 

 shows vegetables nml field scenes In subdued 

 shades of green. "The completeness of the supply 

 department — comprising farm and garden imple- 

 ' menta, insecticides and other requisites — :may be 

 Inferred from the fact that to this department 

 are devoted exactly one-half of the total eighty- 

 eight pages. Tlie prices of vegetable seeds are 

 not quoted in tl>e descriptive list, but in a con- 

 densed list at the beginning. 



Charles H. Totty Co., Madison, N. J.— Nine- 

 teenth annual catalogue of chr.vsanthemums, 

 roses, carnations, cannas, dahlias and other 

 hardy plants; a 96-page book of the attractive, 

 reall.v sumptuous style tliiit Is regularly and 

 confidently exi)ected from this company. Among 

 the illustrations are about a dozen finely colored 

 plates. On the front cover, also, is a picture, 

 in the natural shades, of a yellow rose wlilch 

 Mr. Totty declares "is the sensation in garden 

 roses this year." In new chrysanthemums, 

 "the Pockett-Totty Set for 1922" comprises four 

 European introductions, besides some of the 

 choicest American novelties. In standard va- 

 rieties of chrysanthemums, the list includes dis- 

 tinct classes and kinds for all purposes. Also 

 in the nasortmenta of roses, carnations and other 

 stock, there is evidence of discriminative choice. 

 A page near the end Is devoted to a "new 

 giant everbearing raspberry."

BULBS 



for those who are 

 still in doubt 



If you still have doubts that Drevon- 

 Tegelaar Bulbs are the kind you can 

 depend upon for Christmas flowering, 

 the following letter may hold some 

 convincement for you: 

 Wilshire Bros, of Montreal, Canada, 

 have just written us about their suc- 

 cess with the French Golden Spur 

 Bulbs bought from us. 

 "We got flowers (from this lot) at 

 Christmas time and by January 5th 

 they were almost of normal size and 

 length of stem, with practically every 

 bud developed." 



These blooms were exhibited at the 

 Gardeners' and Florists' Club and for 

 them Messrs. Wilshire Bros, were 

 awarded fifteen points. 

 This success will be yours, too, with 

 Drevon-Tegelaar Bulbs grown at our 

 extensive Nurseries at OUioules.Var, 

 France.

All these varieties are not only winter- 

 flowering, but thejr will produce more and 

 better flowers out of doors than the old 

 late Spencers, because they bloom 3 to 4 

 weeks earlier, before the hot weather seta 

 in. Plant after the Chrysanthemum and 

 get full crop for Easter. Plant in cool 

 frames or outdoors just before the freezing 

 begins and get full crop in May for Decora- 

 tion Day. Plant out of doors in the spring 

 and they will bloom early in June.
