CATALOGUES 
A VALUABLE HARDY PLANT CATALOG. A catalog that 
deserves more than passing notice is that of Bertrand H. Farr, of 
Wyomissing, Pa., containing as it does colored illustrations of dis- 
tinct merit, devoted to rhizomatous, Irises, Peonies, Delphiniums, 
Aquilegias, and the new hybrid Oriental Poppies. The colored 
plates are exceedingly well printed, while the catalog itself is richly 
illustrated with halftone cuts of much teaching value, the study of 
which is sufficient of themselves to make one covet having such 
notable and improved flowers. The catalog deals entirely with 
hardy herbaceous perennials, and the subjects already named in 
particular. No collection of Peonies in the entire country exceeds 
Mr. Farr’s in value, while his Irises, Phloxes and Delphiniums are 
also among the most complete. — Florist’s Exchange.
