JuiOAsx 28, 1016. 



logae of seeds, bulbs, plants, nursery stock, tools, 

 fertilizers and sundries; 120 pages and an at- 

 tractive cMored cover. The seed lists are com- 

 prehensive In all lines; the nursery stock incftdes 

 flowering shrubs, roses, vines, evergreens .and 

 small fruits. i' 



L. L. May & Co., St. Paul, Minn.— This 128- 

 page catalogue, though freely Illustrated, Is 

 printed so closely and with so much regard to 

 economy of spao* that It seems to contain almost 

 everything that Is likely to be looked for In 

 seeds, greenhouse and outdoor plants, fruits, 

 ■hade trees and other nursery stock. The red 

 and gold cover Is tasteful and challenges at- 

 tention. 



Geo. 8. Woodruff, Independence, la.— "The 

 Modern Gladiolus." In this 8-page catalogue the 

 stock is arranged or graded with reference, 

 chiefly, to the newness, rareness or expenslveness 

 of tlie varieties. A supplement contains a list 

 of new sorts, not mentioned in the main cata- 

 logue, and some "important changes in prices." 



Conard & Jones Co., West Grove, Pa. — "The 

 1015 Horal (Juide." the usual st.vlo of catalogue 

 from this firm, except that it seems to be even 

 bandsomor than in former years, with more than 

 the ordinary number of finely colored illustra- 

 tions. It contains ninety-eight pages, besides 

 the colored cover. As in previous editions, the 

 rose catalogue is Incorporated In the book and 

 constitutes the first thirty-nine pages. Then 

 follow the cannas, shrubs, evergreens, vines, 

 perennials, palms and decorative plants, bulbs, 

 non-hardy plants, flower seeds, small fruits, 

 garden requisites, etc. At the beginning is the 

 index to "the best roses for America"; at the 

 end is the general index. 



G. H. Hunkel Co., Milwaukee, Wis. — An 80- 

 page, illustrated catalogue of seeds, bulbs, roots, 

 fertilizers. Insecticides, poultry supplies, farm 

 and garden implements. The pages are closely 

 printed and a large stock is listed, especially in 

 vegetable and agricultural seeds. 



Storrs & Harrison Co., Painesville, O.— A well 

 arranged book of 192 illustrated pages, with an 

 attractive and suggestive cover. Among the 

 classes of stock listed are seeds, roses, miscel- 

 laneous plants, perennials, shrubs, vines, fruit 

 trees, small fruit, nut trees, shade trees, etc. 

 An Interesting feature of the vegetable depart- 

 ment Is the estimate of the length of time re- 

 quired, from the date of sowing the seed, to carry 

 a crop to maturity; this statement of the "days 

 required" is placed in parenthesis immediately 

 after the name of each variety. 



ICartia Kohankie, Painesville, O. — A wholesale 

 nursery list, including perennials and other field- 

 grown plants, pot grown plants, shrubs, vines and 

 roses. 



Thomas J. Grey Co., Boston, Mass. — General 

 seed catalogue, prepared with this firm's char- 

 acteristic accuracy and good taste. Besides seeds 

 and bulbs, the book contains lists of palms, bay 

 trees and other decorative stock, bedding plants 

 perennials, roses, vines, fruits and general nur- 

 sery stock, garden and lawn requisites, fer- 

 tilizers, etc. Ninety-eight pages. Illustrated. 



W. W. Johnson & Son, Boston, England. — 

 Wholesale catalogue of vegetable, flower and 

 farm seeds; eighty large pages, clearly printed 

 and finely Illustrated. Among the other intro- 

 ductory remarks Is this statement: "Although 

 this season we have been able to secure the 

 majority of our crops and are able to offer the 

 produce at reasonable rates, we do not anticipate 

 equally favorable conditions next year."
