The new Fall and Spring Catalogue of 
Thomas Meehan & Sons, Germantown, 
Philadelphia, Pa., is highly worthy of 
special note. A perusal warrants the be- 
lief that neither time nor money has been 
spared in its production, and that it is an 
accurate and reliable handy guide to the 
choice and purchase of planting material 
for the large or small estate or home 
grounds. We have spoken of it before as 
a work of reference and the instruction 
given in pruning and the care of trees 
and shrubs is of added value in connec- 
tion with its descriptive text concerning 
the extensive lists of trees and plants 
offered in its pages. The name of Mee- 
han in American horticulture is a house- 
hold word and the reliability of the firm 
goes without saying. The catalogue will 
be mailed to applicants for six cents in 
stamps.
